THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sarah: The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout. And down came the rain and washed the spider out. And then up came the sun and

Good morning, love. Oh, and who’s this we’ve got here? It’s my sweet angel. God, I’ve missed you. I’ve missed you both.

Hey, bud, what’s up? Hey, dad, just, uh, just checking in to see when you’re getting here. Uh, about an hour or so, and I’m bringing a big surprise for you. Oh, a good one, I hope. Of course it’s a good one. I will see you soon, okay? Alright, bye. And I’m just leaving Sweet Bits, where I got you your favorite Alice’s Snacks.

Mmm, yummy. Uh, see you soon, honey. I love you. I love you too, mom.

Hi, Brady. Hey.

Hey, how’s, uh, how’s Holly? Actually, um, I have great news. She’s awake. Out of her coma. You’re kidding me. Oh my god, that’s unbelievable. I’m so happy to hear that. When did this happen? Just yesterday. Is she, is she, she’s alert? Is she, is she talking? Well, she’s a little weak, but yes, she’s alert, and she’s, she’s talking.

Oh, God. And the doctors, they, they, they think, they’re hopeful that she will make a full recovery. Oh, God, that’s, that’s what we’ve been praying for. My God, both Holly and Tate. Nick, I gotta ask you though, I’m a little confused. I mean, you know what this means for Tate, you know. How important it is for Holly to, to tell the truth about what happened on New Year’s Eve.

Why, my God, why wouldn’t you call me? Why wouldn’t you tell me that she’s alert and, and talking?

Perfect timing, Chaz. You’re two goes away. Got three top of the morning sandwiches, three vanilla shakes. For you and the kids, I assume. Uh, no, uh, Julie and Steph, actually. Yeah, we’re all meeting over at the, uh, the Wharton house. Hmm, okay. Uh, what’s going on over there today? Well, actually, Julie met, um, met with the adjuster yesterday, so she needs to make a list of everything that can be salvaged, and, uh, and the renovators are there.

Sounds like a lot of work. I suspect you need an extra pair of hands. That’s, that’s good of you, but we got it. No, no, I got this new kid, Adley. He’s quick on his feet, got a lot of good spirit going for him. I’m sure he can take care of everything. I’m coming with you. Okay, great. I’m joining the cause.

Awesome. Alright, let’s go. Stephanie, it’s so kind of you to come and help. I’m really grateful. Oh, you know, I’m so happy to help, Julie, in any way that I can. I know this is a difficult time for you. That obvious, huh? No, no, not at all. But, um, Everett came by and we got to talking. Oh. Did he tell you we’ve all found out that he’s Jada’s ex husband, Bobby Stein?

Yes, he did tell me that. He also told me what a painful, confusing experience this is for him. And one thing became quite clear to me. He cares for you deeply, Stephanie. For what it’s worth, if anything. Stephanie. You know, rebuilding here is going to take a lot longer than a day, so we’d best get started.

Oh, Everett. How good to see you. You still are going by the name Everett, right? Yes. Yes. Because that’s who I am, Dr. Evans. And listen, I mean, if, if, if you don’t believe that, then, then I can’t, I can’t go through with this. I understand. I do believe that you are Everett Lynch. And I, I also think we need to explore the idea of who Bobby Stein is, and, and why you can’t access any memories of the other identity.

But that’s why you’re here. To help you do that. Please sit down.

Can you tell me how you’re feeling today? Ah, well, um, I guess, uh, all the way over here. You know, I was trying to calm myself down because I know, I know you’ll be Impartial, non judgmental, but, uh, as hard as I tried, um,

I’ve never been so terrified in my life, Dr. Evans, of what I might learn about myself. About my past.

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

Everett, of course you’re terrified. That’s understandable. But, to use your words, I am non judgmental. All I want to do here is help you.

I have, uh, accessed some of your medical records. It says here that you suffered a traumatic brain injury and that you were in a medically induced coma. Uh, that’s right, for a year. Yes, a year. Um, tell me, when you were brought out of the coma, what were some of your first memories? Um,

I, I felt like I was in a fog, you know, um, everything was fuzzy. I remember out of the corner of my eye, there was this nurse in green scrubs going in and out of the room. And, uh, and then this, This doctor came in and, and he, he started asking me questions. I imagined to determine how lucid I was.

And the first question that he asked me

was, what is your name? Yes, uh, I assume that you told him that it was Everett Lynch, correct? Yes, that’s That’s right. Because that’s who I am. Yes, Stephanie, it will take more than a day to restore the house. It’ll take a village, as Hillary loved to say. Well, in that vein, I’ve got to go outside, talk to the carpenters who are giving me an estimate.

And if you would be so good as to go upstairs and just check on the guy that’s cleaning the walls. I will do that. Thank you. Doug wants me to, um, Look through the closet in the back bedroom. That’s where he kept all of his, his music archive. Yeah, the, uh, the scores, the, the sheet music, and his memorabilia from, from all the years when he toured the country singing.

You know, clippings, and photos, and I just pray to God that it made it through the fire unscathed, because those are some of his best memories, and well, they mean the world and all to him. I can only imagine. Stephanie, uh, I hope Everett regains his memory, too. You said Marlena was going to try and help them with that.

She is. And hopefully she will succeed. As much as that scares me.

You understand how, how we’ve been waiting anxiously and desperately for Holly to be able to set the record straight about what happened the night she OD’d? Brady. My son is, my son’s life has been on hold. He’s in a halfway house because he was falsely accused of pushing drugs on your little girl. I’m sorry, Brady, if I didn’t call you right when Holly woke up, okay?

But right now we are focusing on her getting better and her well being, okay? My gosh, you’re almost dying, Brady. I know, I know, I know, yes, I understand that. I’m relieved, of course I’m relieved, but I’m worried about my son, too. Nicole, when are you going to talk to her about the drugs? We’ve already spoken to her about that.

And? And, I’m afraid you’re not going to be happy about what she had to say. Oh, Sarah. so

much for bringing her. Yeah, she was missing her dog. I was too. But, hopefully not for too long. What do you mean? Well, I’ve been waiting to tell you since you came in. But you were so excited to see Victoria. No, tell me what? Harris Michaels is awake. And recovering in the hospital. What? Oh my god, did he Did he say who did it, who shot him?

No, not yet, but He will.

Everett, can you tell me about Some of your earliest memories Say from the time you were Three, four years old Because those Memories are the earliest that we think of as retrievable. Um, yeah. Earliest memories.

My mother, when I was, uh, maybe three? She, she baked me this, um, birthday cake. Uh, shaped like a Formula One race car, you know. Single seat with the, The candle sticking out of the open cockpit, uh. She loved to bake. She was, uh, beautiful. Kind. She always used to say, I remember this, um, Just be nice, you know.

Everybody’s going through something. That was her mantra.

Just be nice.

It looks promising, doesn’t it? I think once, uh, once everything’s laundered, a lot of it should be wearable again. And there’s a lot more upstairs. Yeah, well, we’ll salvage something. Wait. Look at this. Look at this. It’s one of Doug’s albums. Yes. I don’t think a needle has touched it since the 1970s. But it’s intact.

Isn’t that wonderful? Doug’s gonna be thrilled. Hey, hey. How’s it going in here? Roman. Roman. What a nice surprise. Yeah, when I told him where I was headed, he didn’t think twice. Wanted to come and we came bearing gifts. Milkshakes and breakfast sandwiches. My goodness. With Stephanie’s donuts and this, it’ll be a, it’ll be a cruise ship buffet.

Well, I’m ready to pitch in. Where do you need me? Oh, I’ll support, uh, put, put me in too, coach. Oh, you are so kind. It’s, it’s, it’s just, you’re wonderful. I’m grateful. Well, we are grateful to be part of this effort. Definitely. Okay, let’s get started. Okay. Uh, these. What do you want these? Oh, oh, ugh. They stink of smoke.

So, if you, if you could, uh, put them in my car for now. I’ll take them to the laundromat in a fluffin fold. You got it.

How lucky am I to have family and friends like you. Bless you. Oh, bless your dear sweetheart.

Why won’t I like what Holly said?

Listen, Brady, Holly is still a little foggy about what happened that night. Things are still a little unclear. But she said that the OD’d on, were not hers. She doesn’t know how they got into her system, so we believe that someone must have slipped her those drugs.

Tell me right now that you don’t think it’s my kid.

Well, EJ wonders who else would have motive and opportunity. Okay, EJ, okay, listen, listen. My kid would not do anything like this. My kid would not push drugs on a girl and try to take advantage of her. Regardless of what EJ thinks. My kid does not push drugs. He doesn’t do drugs. As a matter of fact, Nick, he has an aversion to drugs because he’s fully aware of his parents addictive history.

And you know all about it. Yeah. Okay, you’ve told me about it. Quite frankly, I, I, I don’t know what to believe right now. It’s a lot to take in, okay? But I do know that right now, I need to be home with my daughter. Nick, please, please give me, just please. Sorry, give me a minute. You need to understand that my kid went to jail.

Because he found your daughter passed out on the loading docks, okay? And he panicked like any 16 year old kid would. He looked me in the face and said, Dad, those drugs were not mine, I didn’t give them to her. And I believe him. You know why I believe him, Nick? Because he’s a good kid, he’s a good person. I never said he wasn’t.

And Holly, Holly admits she was foggy about what happened. She’s still foggy about it. My kid has been clear from day one, the day it happened. I think I should, I, I, I need to talk to your daughter. I want to talk to Holly, please. No, Brady, I’m sorry, that’s not going to happen.

Why is that not going to happen? Why can’t I talk to Holly? Because, Brady, right now we are focusing on her healing and well being. And we can’t allow anything to disrupt that. Nicole. My kid’s life hangs in the balance here. Do you understand this kind of thing can jeopardize his entire future? Do you understand that?

My little boy’s not lying! Neither is Holly! Oh God. Brady, listen. Maybe when Holly Feel stronger. We can all sit down and talk, but I can’t make any promises as to when that’s gonna happen.

I have to go, Brady, I’m sorry.

So here are the trash bags for all the trash that we have collected. Oh, if anybody sees a little strange object that might be a key You know, to the time capsule. Time capsule? Oh, yeah, I didn’t, uh, I didn’t tell you. When, uh, when we were here to survey the damage for the insurance claim, Thomas was running around being his eight year old self and, uh, whacked the fireplace and a, and a time capsule fell from the inside.

And we worked hard to get that thing open. No luck. Yeah, I took a picture of it. Yeah, and who knows what Alice put in there. It was over 50 years ago, ancient history of YouTube. Here it is. See? Wow. Yeah, it’s fascinating, ain’t it? I mean, who knows? Maybe you’ll find the, uh, keys to a rusty old mobile that’s hidden away in some long forgotten barn, or some creepy jack in the box.

So jump out and scare the hell out of it. Well, I hope it isn’t anything creepy. We’ve had enough pandemonium and creepy things to last a lifetime. I hope it’s something that just. Brings joy up to the maximum. Hear, hear. Yeah.

Hmm. Obviously you have some positive memories of your mother. Yeah. Yeah, I do. Um, But I admit, I haven’t, I haven’t thought about her in a long time. Okay, would you like to, Explore that relationship with her Maybe next session. Is that okay? Just I’d really I’d like to focus on figuring out you know Who Bobby Stein?

Sure, of course. I actually have a file that Jane has sent over. Um, yeah. It says here that your name is Robert Everett Stein, and your mother’s maiden name was Lynch.

Everett Lynch.

I mean, but that makes sense, doesn’t it? Because it’s my own middle name, my mother’s surname. Do you have any idea why you chose those names? Uh, none, no. No. What can you tell me about your father?

My father. Um,

uh, I don’t know, uh, nothing, nothing comes to mind. My god, I’m, I’m blanking my own father, uh,

sorry. Is that, is that because of the brain accident after the A brain injury after the accident? Yes. I would assume so. I mean, really though? I mean, what does, does every war correspondent or every pedestrian in a road accident for that matter just put Forget their father. I mean, Why, why would I just completely obliterate him from my mind?

So do you suppose that Harris hasn’t said who shot him because you didn’t see the person or because he doesn’t remember? He says he doesn’t remember. And in your very wise, doctorly opinion, will he ever remember? Have those memories sunk to the bottom of the ocean, or are they more like messages in a bottle, and they’re just bobbing around, hopefully to one day reach the shore again?

That’s really hard to say. You know. Well, the difference isn’t me. It’s cobbled together over the years. The cards are stacked against me, we know that. Especially now that Harris may never Say that I wasn’t the one on the loading dock that night? Yes, but there’s another way to look at it. He can’t say it was you, either.

Hey, what are you in the mood for? I got a jelly filled, I got cinnamon crumb in there. Oh, both of those look awesome. But, before we start with donuts, I have something I want to show you. Here, give me your phone, okay? Why do you need my phone? Just give it to me. Why do you need it? It’s this app that I found.

Okay, basically, you can stream any Premier League match for, like, the price of a cup of coffee. So we can watch the Liverpool Man City match next week. Tate, that sounds great, but, um, not right now, okay? Why? What’s the matter? Because there’s something important that I need to tell you. What is it? It’s about Holly.

She’s awake.

Well, this is a pleasant surprise, seeing you down here. It’s out of your bed. Well, I was kind of getting cabin fever in my room. Like the walls were closing in. But I see Santa came early this year. Yum. Oh my God. These are amazing. From Sweet Bits? Uh, where else?

So, um, I ran into Brady while I was there. Chatted a little bit. About what?

You know, what happened on New Year’s. And that Brady’s such a, a devoted father and he loves his son very much and he just refuses to believe that Tate’s the one that gave you the drugs. He didn’t.

Any luck finding a key anywhere? No, not yet. Whoa, look at this. Wait, it’s Yeah, it’s JFK. It’s a half dollar. Gee, there must be so much history all over this house. Oh, yeah. There’s histories here and treasures everywhere. You just need loving eyes to see them. Roman, why don’t you and I go to the backyard and go through that pile of discarded furniture and we’ll decide what can be salvaged.

Will you help me? Let’s go. Okay. I love Julie’s attitude. She is one strong woman, huh? Yeah, she sure is. She, um, she has a knack for turning a sad situation into, um, well, a treasure hunt. Right. She’s been so kind about what I’m going through too. She encouraged me to open up about it.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you should.

With me. I mean, if you wanted to. Actually, I do. And I don’t. I mean, it’s, it’s hard for me. Because it’s so fraught to broach the subject with you. Hmm. What if I broached it? Sure. Go for it. Okay. Stephanie Johnson. Uh, where Do things stand with you and Everett?

Everett, would you like to stop here? I know this has been quite a lot to take in. I could say that. Alright, we can pick this up next week. Um, I, I would like to, um, try hypnosis. You’d be willing to do that? Uh, hypnosis. Okay. . . It can be a very effective therapeutic tool. And, uh, you, you know what? Read up on it.

Tell me what you think. Uh, no. Um, I, I don’t have to. I, I. Defer to you if you think that it’ll help. Yeah. Well, I think it could be very helpful. And it’s also helpful that we do it right here in the office. Right. Um. Yeah. Okay. Uh. Let’s do it. Okay. How, how bad can it be? Let’s get it scheduled. Okay.

I think, uh, we’re good for it the same time next week if that works for you. Uh, yes, uh, actually, yeah, it does. Good. And your homework is? Just be gentle and patient with yourself. I will do my best.

Thank you, Dr. Evans, for, for everything.

Holly, she’s, she’s awake? Is she gonna be okay? Apparently so, yeah. So she’s talking and everything? She’s fully conscious. That’s That’s a miracle. So she told everyone what happened on New Year’s Eve, right? She told them that the drugs she took weren’t mine? Tate. Unfortunately, no, she didn’t.

So Tate is not the one who gave you the drugs? No, he didn’t. Why would you even think that? Well, honey, because he was your date and you were with him all evening so by power of deduction, he’s the likely culprit. But honey, I mean Who else would have slipped you those drugs, and why? I, I don’t know, but I know it wasn’t Tate, Mom.

He would never do something like that.

Sarah, come on. No, I’m not being Pollyanna, Sander. What I said is true. If Harris’s memory has been wiped of what happened that night, then he cannot implicate you, period. Yes, but also I wasn’t there. You, you do believe that, don’t you, Sarah? Of course I believe that. How many times have I told you that? You know that.

My God, do you really think that I would bring my infant daughter to visit a man who I thought had just tried to commit murder? Of course not. I just wish I could borrow your roast into glasses for a minute. I will admit, I’m starting to get a little bit of a pessimistic outlook. It’s this place. It’s just starting to get to me.

It’s driving me crazy. I think it’s at least, in part, because of the tattooed geezer who stares at me maniacally from the next cell. Honey, I’m so sorry. Oh, what have you got to be sorry about? You’re the most supportive and loving partner a man could ask for. God, I just can’t wait to come home to you and our little angel.

Hey, promise me you won’t go back to our apartment until everything’s resolved, eh? I just hate the idea of you two being there alone. I promise that I will not go back there until you are there. Although, it is so chaotic at my mom’s house, what with Doug, Julie, Chad, and the kids. And oh my god, let’s not forget Constantine, because he’s still there.

I don’t run into him much, but he is there. Oh yes, the uh, Greek interloper Constantine. Yo, honestly, I’m not crazy about the two of you being around that man.

Actually, you know what? I mean, never mind. It’s uh It’s really none of my business, you know, what, what happened between you and Everett. Um,

Uh, but, you know, for, uh, I do want to say something. And, uh, I know, um, you know, when we broke up, and, uh, we went our separate ways, I, I, I know that it was a tough time for you. And then, uh, for me, too. Uh, You you got involved with Everett. Uh, and now this. And I just wanted to tell you that you deserve better than that from both of us.

Thank you. And for what it’s worth, I, uh, you know, had the timing been different and I, and I wasn’t coming off of losing my wife, I’d like to believe that it would have worked for us. I know. It’s just, uh, it’s just It’s hard to hear, you know? Yeah. But, hey, you know what? We’ll always have the, uh, the ring toss game at Six Flags.

Huh? There, uh, you know, you won, um, you remember you won the, uh, the gigantic teddy bear for, for Charlotte? Right? I mean, it wasn’t Paris, but We had, um, we had fun, yeah. Yeah, it was great. We weren’t living together yet. I was just, I was just so happy to hang out with your sweet kids. Oh my God, they love you.

When I told them that you were coming with, they went ballistic. They were jumping up and down, screaming, Oh my God, Stephanie’s coming with! Oh my God, Stephanie! No, I was excited too. Some, uh, pretty good memories, right? Yeah.

Um, yeah, you know, I’m, I’m, I just wanted to say that, you know, if you ever do want to talk, you know, I’m here for you. Or vent, or, you know, hang out with me. And the kids, of course. Uh, I mean, we could go back to Six Flags and, uh, the next time I’ll, I’ll win you a gig gigantic, the giganticus bear that that place has is yours.

I’m getting it for you. I’d like that.

You’re a good person, Steph. And I’m really grateful for you. I’m grateful for you too.

Honey, I, I, I shouldn’t have brought it up. Look, you should be focusing on relaxing and resting and eating these donuts. How am I supposed to relax when you just told me that you and EJ think Tate’s to blame for my overdose, which he wasn’t, mom. Honey, I mean, who else could it have been? Who else would have given you those drugs?

By the way, my parents are both addicts, so there is no way I’m taking those and neither should you. Oh, come on. They’re just some ADHD meds I got from someone at school. Everyone does it. Yeah, well, not me. And I didn’t think that you did either. But they were her drugs. Not mine. Dad, you have to believe me.

I love you, Kate. I believe you. Why wouldn’t I? Alright, your mother believes you too. The problem is, how do we prove it? If Holly won’t admit it. Do you have any proof at all? Do you have anything? My word. That’s all. It’s my word against hers.

Holly? Honey? Where’d you go? I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought this up. No, it’s fine. It’s just What? It’s, it’s all just a blur, okay? But, Mom, I know Tate. And I know he would never force me to take anything. Who would have given you those pills, honey? I don’t, I don’t know, Mom! Okay, I don’t know! Sorry! No, honey, I’m the one who’s sorry.

I hate to see you so hurt. I’m fine, really!

Damn it. Do you have everything you need over there? Of course you do. I’m sure your mum is taking excellent care of you and our little one. She is. She’s doting on us, in fact. That sounds like Maggie. And you promise you’ll steer clear of Constantine, yes? I will. For sure. We will be back in our apartment soon.

I know that. I’m counting on that. Me too.

And as for you, little one, I need you to promise to take extra special good care of your mummy, yes? Two blinks for yes. Okay, drool is fine. And from my part, I promise you, Victoria, I will be back home just as soon as the gods smile down on me. Which I’m praying will be very soon.

You know, um, you know when we broke up, uh, um, and it was awkward for that little bit. I was worried that we’d, we’d, uh, never get to this place. Mm, yeah. Where we are now. Yeah, me too. And I’m so glad that we’ve gotten over that awkwardness and gotten close again because This friendship is really important to me.

To both of us, I hope. Yeah. There’s nothing I would want to do to jeopardize it. Neither. Uh, can I walk you home? Oh, you know not to do that. I’d like to.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Li: Please, stop talking like this.

Finn: No, mom, look, of course I consider you my real mother. All right, but sheila, she– she gave birth to me.

Li: And she almost killed you and steffy and me, so please just snap out of it. Sheila gave you nothing but pain, finn. Pain and heartache, and now finally she’s gone.

Finn: Because of my wife.

Li: Your wife fought to save herself, finn. Survived a terrible ordeal. Be grateful she’s alive.

Finn: No, um, I mean, I am.

Li: Then, wake up. Get over these feelings you have about sheila carter before you do something foolish to alienate steffy.

Steffy: Liam, you’ve been amazing. Thank you so much for being here and just listening to me and watching kelly for a few days while I figure this out.

Liam: Of course I’m here, where else would I be? There’s nowhere else I wanna be.

Steffy: I just feel so guilty. I mean, god, I killed someone. Who wouldn’t feel guilty?

Liam: Yeah, but you were ambushed. There was literally no alternative.

Steffy: Liam, there was nothing I could’ve done differently.

Liam: Exactly, and everybody knows that.

Steffy: Not everyone.

Liam: Okay, everybody, but finn knows that. Okay, listen, I know he’s, like, having a moment right now, but you’re the one who almost died. And what you need more than anything is understanding. Something you should be getting from your husband.

[ Knock on door ]

Deacon: Yeah?

Hope: Dad?

Deacon: Hey, hope.

Hope: Uh, hollis called and said you went to the morgue today, and I figured you could use some company.

Deacon: Want a drink?

Hope: I, uh, wanted to see how you were holding up. I know sheila meant something to you.

Deacon: She still does. Look, I– I know this isn’t your favorite topic, so… when I found out she was gone, she was dead, I just– I had to go see her. I had to say goodbye, just… see her face one more time.

Li: Let it go. Sheila could never be what you wanted. This image you have as a loving, nurturing birth mother, she– it’s– it’s ludicrous.

Finn: Look, that’s not the way that I saw her. But look, I mean, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for sheila.

Li: Yes, if it wasn’t for her affair with your father. I’m very thankful she gave us you, but she almost took you away that night in the alley.

Finn: I know.

Li: Do you?

Finn: Yes.

Li: Then, how do you have any sympathy for that maniac?

Finn: I mean, like it or not, she’s part of my past. She’s my roots.

Li: All you shared was dna, nothing more.

Finn: So what, I should just be celebrating?

Li: No, that’s not what I’m saying. But you shouldn’t be mourning her either. Finn, does steffy know how you feel?

Finn: Yeah, I– I told her that it’s complicated for me. Not just that my birth mother is dead. It’s who killed her.

Liam: Finn has always straddled this line when it comes to sheila. And now, he’s walking out on you because of an attack on you?

Steffy: Well, he is still dealing with a lot right now.

Liam: I don’t care. This is his life that he chose. This is his home. You are his wife, for better or worse. Why isn’t he here?

Steffy: He said he’s trying to figure this all out. And I am trying to put myself in his shoes. We have survived many things. We can survive this. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Deacon: You must think I’m nuts caring about someone who hurt so many people.

Hope: I’m not here to judge you, dad. I came here because I love you. And yes, while I didn’t have room in my heart for sheila… I certainly have room for you and always will.

Deacon: Wow, I just realized, hope, that you’re the only person I have in this world. You and the kids. And I just hope you know how much you all mean to me. I– I know I haven’t always done right by you. And I’m sure talking about my connection to sheila’s about the last thing you want to do.

Hope: I’m not going to lie to you and pretend like it– it wasn’t upsetting. I mean, it felt like you were making excuses for her. It felt like you were choosing her over us.

Deacon: I– I really am sorry. I never meant to do that. And, you know, the fact that i caused you pain, that kills me.

Hope: Dad, look, in spite of my contempt for sheila, I’m still, you know, I understand that there are going to be people in this world that mourn her.

Deacon: Besides me, I can’t think of anyone in this world who’s gonna mourn sheila.

Hope: I can think of one person who cared about sheila. Finn.

Finn: Look, it’s a lot to absorb, knowing what steffy did.

Li: What sheila forced her to do.

Finn: And I’m not– not blaming steffy for defending herself. I just– I– I don’t know, I just wish it didn’t have to be this way.

Li: If sheila stayed away like you asked her to, sheila would still be alive. Steffy didn’t go looking for trouble. Sheila put her in that position. She broke into your home.

Finn: And I wish I knew why.

Li: Why, because she’s a murderous stalker! That’s why! Listen, honey, I know you want to make sense of all of this. But you never will. None of it. Right now, you need to focus on being a good husband.

Finn: I’m doing the best I can. All right, you think I like being apart from my wife?

Li: Apart?

Finn: Yeah, I slept here last night. You left your wife alone? She was attacked, finn. She almost lost her life. You have all this compassion for sheila. Where’s your compassion for your wife? Finn, what’s going on with you? You need to get your head on straight. Before you cause permanent damage to your marriage.

Steffy: Honestly, liam, I just want finn to come home and work through this together. I mean, we’re both hurting right now. We’re struggling. But I know our love is stronger and more powerful than anything when we’re together.

Liam: Well, I give you a lot of credit for trying to understand where he’s coming from. But there is no excuse for him having even an ounce of pity for sheila because he’s got a wife and kids.

Steffy: There’s no doubt in my mind that finn cares about me and the kids.

Liam: I’m not implying he doesn’t care. But he has obligations here in this home. He has a duty to prioritize you and the kids. And he’s not. So, I’ll tell you this much. Whether finn is out there moping or here, I’m here. You can count on me. You and kelly and hayes can always count on me. (Imitating chicken clucks)

Hope: And when I came here to tell you about sheila, I was shocked when I walked in and I just– I saw finn sitting here just holding a photo of sheila. And he was so upset.

Deacon: I– I didn’t realize how deep his feelings for sheila ran. You know, the saddest irony of this whole thing is that more than anything, sheila wanted to be accepted and loved. And now, she’s not here to see that finn really did love her.

Finn: I don’t know what’s wrong with me. You know, I love you. And you know that I, um, I feel about you. And you know that I just I want to get back to our– our beautiful little life, but I’m sorry, I can’T. Steffy, I can’t be here.

Steffy: Finn, finn, finn. What are you doing? Finn.

Liam: Hi, john.

Finn: Ugh. Um, not now, liam. Um, I’m not in the mood.

Liam: Totally respect that, which is why I’m not gonna stay too long.

Finn: Are you not hearing me? Now is not a good time. I have a lot going on.

Liam: Yeah, no, I heard about what happened at your house.

Finn: What happened? Sheila died, liam.

Liam: Good thing steffy’s okay, though, right?

Finn: Yeah, I’m more thankful than anyone that she’s okay.

Liam: Really? ‘Cause I don’t know, I kinda feel like, I don’t know, you would be there then.

Finn: Excuse me?

Liam: I don’t get you. Like, I know that you’re going through a thing right now, but…

Finn: Uh, I am. So give me a minute. Do I not have the right to process this?

Liam: Yeah, I’m just not sure. What’s the thing that you’re processing? Is it the fact that your psychopath mother is dead? Or the fact that you walked out on your wife?

Steffy: Sheila, I know it’s you. Get out! I’ll do it!

[ Door opens ]

Hope: Steffy. I, uh, I didn’t think you would come in today.

Steffy: Yeah, I just had to, uh, I had to get out of the house.

Hope: I’m so, so sorry for what you’ve been through.

Steffy: It’s really upsetting to say the least. I, um, I can’t get sheila out of my head. I can’T. The way she lunged at me. I was only trying to protect myself.

Hope: I’m sure that was– is incredibly traumatizing. I mean, knowing that you had to kill someone. I can’t believe one bottle of tide

Liam: I was, uh, I was just with steffy.

Finn: You never waste an opportunity.

Liam: Yes, who happens to be my, uh, child’s mother.

Finn: Whatever, man. Can you, um, can you just stay away from my wife?

Liam: No, that’s not gonna work because then we’re both gonna be staying away from your wife and I’m actually concerned about steffy and the kids.

Finn: Well, don’t be. My birth mother, sheila, she’s dead.

Liam: Yeah, why do you do that? You’re trying to play it cool with me, but I know that you see sheila as this, like, warm, fuzzy, benevolent presence in your life. And do you know how that makes steffy feel? It’s alarming. It’s– it’s disloyal.

Finn: Okay, that’s– that’s enough, liam. Why don’t you just mind your own business, okay? This doesn’t concern you.

Liam: You really– you don’t have any idea how lucky you are. I mean, steffy is– is at home doing her best to wrap her head around this bizarre mama’s boy relationship you have with sheila, when any other woman put in that situation with that particular person would’ve dumped your ass, ages ago.

Finn: You don’t have to tell me how amazing steffy is. I’m well aware.

Liam: See, yeah, I was confused because instead of acting like it, you’re seemingly blaming her for almost getting murdered.

Finn: I am not blaming her.

Liam: She was protecting herself. She was protecting your family for you and you are hiding away here. Now, I’ve never understood your relationship with sheila. But this, you prioritizing your grief over her instead of taking care of your wife and kids.

Finn: That’s not what I’m doing.

Liam: No, it is what you’re doing. It is exactly what you’re doing, finn. You’re just lying to yourself about it. And it’s no wonder steffy feels so alone. Wait, she’s not alone. Because she has me. Well, there it is. Do I have your attention now? You see, I’m gonna do everything I can to make steffy feel safe and supported. And if you’re not up to that task, I’m the man she’s gonna start turning to.

Steffy: None of this has been easy for me, hope. Sheila broke into my home and went after me.

Hope: No, I– I know the details. You don’t need to relive that night. All I was trying to say, rather poorly, was that I– I can’t even begin to understand what you must be feeling. I mean, you had to kill someone. I mean, I don’t even think that I could do something like that.

Steffy: What is this? I didn’t have a choice. I didn’t want to do that. I didn’t want to have to grab the knife. But I needed to survive. It was either her or me. I had to protect myself.

Hope: No, of course.

Steffy: Have you forgotten that she shot me before?

Hope: No!

Steffy: Then, what is this? It’s like a weird vibe I am getting from you.

Hope: I– it’s– steffy, sheila has hurt my family too. She’s hurt my mom. I haven’t forgotten that.

Steffy: Let me tell you something. You would have done the exact same thing if you were in my situation.

Hope: I am sure that it was absolutely terrifying. I am sure that all you could think about was the children.

Steffy: Sheila tried to take me away from my children. I wasn’t gonna let that happen again.

Hope: I am just– I’m trying to say that I understand this is a very heavy burden to bear. I was just talking to my dad and he was saying that… look, roll your eyes at my dad and his feelings for sheila all you want. That’s fine. Just please don’t make that mistake with finn.

Steffy: What does this have to do with my marriage?

Hope: I saw finn. And we talked and… despite your feelings for sheila, steffy, finn still has a very real connection to her. And I am just trying to say finn is a good man. Steffy, please just be patient with him. Give him some time to grieve and to process this. I mean, we all– we all couldn’t stand sheila. But at the same time, I mean, that is still finn’s mother. I mean, he– he wouldn’t exist without her. So, I just– I hope you will try to be, I don’t know, just sympathetic to the fact that this is a very complex, difficult time for finn. He’s just in a very vulnerable place right now. I just hope that you will be careful. Steffy, please don’t let sheila’s death interfere with your marriage.

Adam: I’m thinking burgers after this. What do you say?

Chelsea: Well, I– I don’t know. I think, um, I think pizza would be a better bet, right?

Adam: Okay. Well, we got one vote for pizza and one for burgers.

Billy: I like both. I abstain.

Chelsea: So, I guess we need a tie breaker.

Adam: Well, clearly it’s gonna come up to the big man. But before you decide, let me just say, burgers comes with milkshakes for dessert.

Chelsea: This is true. But cupcakes follow pizza. So, that’s a solid choice.

Connor: Am I in trouble?

Adam: What?

Billy: Of course not.

Chelsea: Why would you think that, sweetheart?

Connor: You’re all here at the same time. So, if I’m not in trouble, then maybe you’re here because something’s really wrong with me

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

Adam: Who are you trying to impress, Billy? Hm? The doctor? Connor? ‘Cause you’re not his parent. You don’t have any say in this.

Billy: Lighten up. Just relieve some of the tension, okay? Maybe put a smile on the kid’s face so he’s not walking in there thinking it’s all doom and gloom.

Adam: You’re here for Chelsea. I’m here from my son.

Billy: Yeah. And he’s nervous. He’s afraid. And you sitting there all wound up ’cause I’m here is not helping.

Adam: So in other words, you think you know better than me what he thinks and how he feels? Is that what you’re saying, Billy?

Billy: No, it’s not what I’m saying. In fact, it’s exact opposite of that. ‘Cause I can be a little bit more objective. ‘Cause as much as I care about Connor, he’s not my son. So, I can pick up on a few things that you’re too upset to register.

Adam: Well, thank you for your insights… Dr. Abbott.

Transcript provided by Thane and Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

It was from Clyde Weston.

Thank God you guys are here. So what’s the emergency? Did you get another video? Not a video, a call. From Tripp? If only. It was from Clyde Weston. He said if I ever want to see my son again, I need to break him out of prison. In the next 24 hours.

Oh, God. My neck.

What I wouldn’t give for a nice fluffy pillow. I’m imagining you and I on a road trip to Italy right now. After Paris? Mm hmm. So then our trip continues. Oh, definitely. Right now we’re sitting at the most Wonderful cafe eating the most delicious pasta in Rome. Oh, the sauce is magnificent. Brought Diablo by any chance?

Mm. Topped with tons of grated Parmigiano. Oh. Oof. You have some pretty deliciously vivid dreams. Yeah, well it sure beats reality right now. You mean you don’t like being locked inside a fermenter? I will say the, the one thing that makes this nightmare bearable is having you right beside me.

Same here. I’m so glad that’s not a dream.

What the hell, Stefan? Why did you call me so late?

One sec.

Okay. Here goes.

EJ?

I need your help.

So you’re sure that no one followed us? Kate, I was a cop most of my life, I promise you. We’re clear. Okay. Well, I think this is it.

Ah, there he is. Good evening, brother.

Very funny, mom.

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

Honey, I’m so happy to see you. I’m, thank God that you’re safe. Yes, so far I am safe. Are you settling in, Lucas? Well, there’s not much settling in. You know, this is a pretty simple lifestyle here. Yeah, it’s kind of quiet. It’s quiet, yeah. But I hear a lot of stuff, you know. Like I am a humble man of the cloth, lost and confused, taking a vow of silence, renewing my faith in God, but yet no one looks at me or even talks to me ever.

Honey, I guess I was lonely. Mm hmm. What? Better than Statesville. Yes, Roman, it is better than Statesville, I cannot argue with that. But, you know, this is one lifestyle that I’m not cut out for, so, you know. No? No. My darling son, my shy, retiring darling son, my god knows hates attention. This isn’t the kind of lifestyle, I don’t know, that my son the introvert would love.

Look, she’s a riot, isn’t she? Look at you. Yeah, I don’t know, because, you know, like, brother Lucas is kind of, that rings a nice bell, doesn’t it?

You know, when we get out of here, I’m taking you to one of those spas, like the all day job kind of things, where you get the works, you know, massage, manicures, that thing with the crap, like white crap all over your face. They’re called facials. Dr. Dupin’s Charms. And I also wanted my bath. Anything your heart desires.

So then what do you get when we get out of here? Three weeks sitting on the couch watching March Madness. I could have guessed.

I just, I, I, I can’t stand sitting here anymore. I’m going, I’m going, Buggy. Okay. Uh, we can’t have that. So then, pack your imaginary bags, Trip Johnson, because We are going on yet another trip. Okay, well then, I’m psyched, Wendy Shin, because my bags are packed and I’m ready for our next adventure. Yeah. Look, I know you think this is madness.

Well, you got that right. We’re not breaking that murderer out of prison. Hard no for me, too. Okay, but we don’t have any other choice. Don’t you get it? If we don’t break Clyde out, he is going to kill Trip. And Wendy. Okay, see, we have no other option here. I mean, unless you guys have some, some brilliant idea.

I mean, I’m open to suggestions.

What do you got?

You want my help? You can’t be serious. EJ, please, just hear me out. Forget it. Whatever you’ve done now, Stefan, not my problem. EJ, please, I need your help. You are the only family I got left. We’ve been through this all before, Stefan. You scutter around like a brainless roach slipping in and out of the darkness.

And then, somebody turns on the light. Oh no, you panic right before they step on you with a crunch. Please, I tried to avoid the dark path I did, but things got out of control. And EJ, I need your help. Or what? Gabby might suffer another broken neck. I need your help or it’s the end for me.

What are you talking about? I did it. Hey, Jay.

I shot Harris Michaels.

Say something. Anything! What am I supposed to say? I don’t know, maybe start with how? Why? How about What the bloody hell? My brother just confessed to attempted murder of a police officer. What in God’s name were you thinking? E. J., you knew the position I was in. I had no choice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you keep telling yourself that, Stefan.

But don’t try selling that bridge to me. There’s always a choice. Not this time. Clyde ordered me to kill Harris, or Gabby would face the consequences. Oh, Gabby, Gabby, Gabby. Who brings nothing but trouble and misery into our lives, yet you cling to that woman. How in the hell did it come to this, Stefan? I don’t know.

Okay, it just snowballed. And now things are worse, because Harris is alive. How is that worse? Because I didn’t finish the job! And because of that, because I failed, now Clyde is coming from me,

accommodations or queen. Yeah. But, uh, that minimalist look, you know, very trendy. Please judge. Absolutely. Yeah. Your mom suckers me into watching those house design shows with. Oh, come on, you know you love learning about interior design. I do love curling up on the couch with you. I wish we could watch a little baseball, but whatever makes my Katie happy.

Sure. Oh my God, do I have a good husband or what? Yeah. You know, the next time a baseball game is on, I am going to watch a round with you. A round? All right then. What? Why are you smiling? Why are you laughing? Nothing. No, I could just listen to you guys all day. It’s entertaining. Listen to you talk about anything.

Because, you know, I don’t have any TV or radio or music or anything like that. Honey, I’m sure you could wander around the grounds. I mean, the scenery is really quite lovely. I mean, we saw it because the abbot took us for a tour, you know, before he sends us down here to visit you, so. You had a visit with the abbot?

I would have paid money to see that. What? Your mother can’t mind her pees and queues with a man of God? Well, I don’t know. I don’t know. I thought you’d be struck down by lightning as soon as you entered the building. But, good for you. Glass houses, my friend. Glass houses. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, you’re right.

You’re right. You know, when I had my visit with the abbot, you know what he told me? He wanted to discuss possible life changes. And thank God that my, uh, vow of silence kicked in so I could put the kibosh on that for a while. Recruitment into the priesthood. Interesting idea, don’t you think? For me? Really?

Why? Because I’m such an introvert, like Mom said earlier? I don’t like women? Why? What am I missing? I’ve been in jail, now I’m here. What does it matter? Okay, uh, uh, listen. I don’t think you should forget that this monastery and the inhabitants are keeping you safe. So if I were you, I would do everything I possibly could to keep it going that way.

I will. But celibacy. I’m drawing the line there. I’m not doing that. Sorry. But you know what? Anything else, I’m gonna be great. I’m gonna be like a rockstar rookie monk. You should see it. I mean, you just wait and see. Wow. Hey, you’re gonna make your mommy proud.

And now, we are going to take a road trip. To pizza. Mm. Yeah. Ooh, okay. Come on in. And a slick little stick shift speedster, huh? Oh, yeah. With the top down and the wind in our hair. Okay, so pizza. So we’re busy in the tower, right? Uh, of course. Oh, mama mia! There it is! Look at how tall it is. Oh, it’s taller than I expected.

Yeah. Huh. Okay. You ready to climb up to the top? I thought you were afraid of heights. A little, but this is a Leaning Tower of Pisa baby, so I’m gonna brave it. Okay? Okay. Oh, wow. Okay, these, uh, These steps are getting really narrow. Oh, sure are. Eight floors up. This is exhausting. Yeah. Oh. Okay. We’re at the top.

Let’s go out on the balcony and take a look. That is only four feet wide. Seriously? Four feet wide? Yeah.

Alright, let’s, uh, let’s take this from the beginning here. How did Wesson get a hold of you in the first place? Okay, so I had come home from a walk and nobody was here, obviously. I had just, I had called you, I had left a message, and then a second later, the phone rang again. I thought it was mine at first.

But it wasn’t. So, so I was searching around the apartment, and I found a burner phone, and Clyde was on the other end. Someone obviously broke in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was planning on it. Right. Yeah, so that video said that she was being monitored. Right, so what did Clyde say? Oh, God. Well, he made it really clear that if I wanted to see my son again, I needed to break him out of prison.

Okay, did, did he, did he reveal Tripp’s location? No. Any clues? No. Does he expect you to break him out of Statesville? He told me I needed to call my family and get reacquainted with them. That’s it, let’s get the mafia involved here, dammit Ava. I can’t think of a more dangerous move than releasing that monster back into the world.

You know what, there is no guarantee that Weston is gonna hold up his end of the deal. You know that, right? Okay, what I know, Steve, is we have to try. Because this could be the only way we see our son again.

Clyde made his instructions very clear, so let me be clear with the two of you. We don’t have time to ponder. The clock is ticking as we speak. We’re making progress on the video. We’re running it through various recognition programs. Okay, but nothing definitive yet, right? No, not yet. Okay, great. So we are no closer to saving Tripp and Wendy than we were before.

And the cops sure as hell haven’t found anything. Come on, Steve. Steve, we need to do this. Okay, we don’t have any other options. I need to break that bastard out of Statesville today. And I need your help. Dammit, Ava, why did you have to get mixed up with Weston in the first place? Okay, you want to blame me?

Go ahead. Go ahead and blame me. That is fine. Alright, I have made some really bad mistakes when it comes to Clyde Weston, okay? But our son? Our son is innocent. So if you don’t help me pull this off and he dies, then you are going to be the one to blame. And I’m not so sure that you can live with yourself if that happens.

Can you? So,

how are you occupying your time here? Oh, it’s been great, actually. Um, I was in charge of the vegetable garden. Oh. Yeah, but I killed all the seedlings. I didn’t know. I guess you’re not supposed to do that. So now I get to hang out in the laundry room and do laundry. You? Laundry? Yeah. Laundry. I’m a pro now.

I can fold like a madman. All four corners meet and everything. Yeah, well, I can only imagine that. Yeah, well, it keeps me busy, you know, because after I’m done with work, I’m very bored. Because I don’t have a phone. Or anything. Or a baby. But we brought you supplies. What’d you bring me? Yeah, well, let’s see.

First, some treats. So there’s chips, there’s cookies, beef jerky. And in here, a razor, toothbrush, toiletries, a lot of other stuff, but here, Doug sent you books. Salvaged, yeah, from his library. And he said that you’re to start with this one.

Ah, the Counts. The Counts of Monte Cristo. Boy, I can’t wait to dive into this with both feet. Come on, Lucas, you can give it a try. Hey, um, Doug thinks you’re back. State’s phone protective custody, by the way. I guess the fewer people know where I am, the better. All right, I’ll give the Count a try for Doug.

I’m only doing this for Doug. Okay, well you know he’s going to really appreciate it. Yeah. I do miss everyone. I miss my life. I miss my family. I know you do. And you’re gonna get it back. You’re gonna get it all back. I promise you that.

At this moment, I am having serious doubts that Al Jean Pooh truly overlaps. Okay, EJ, spare me the insults. Please. I know I made a terrible mistake, and for that, I feel profoundly But Harris is leaning on me now because he knows that I’m the shooter. He wants me to help them take Clyde out. Oh, he knows you’re the shooter.

Wow. The plot certainly does thicken. Okay, it does more than just thicken, Wiseass. It gets me killed. Because if I help the cops take Clyde out, I’m a dead man. Right. Well, that sounds like a you problem. Oh my god, EJ, have a heart, could you? For once?

I came to you because this thing has spun so far out of control. And because you were my brother and I thought maybe, just maybe, you would have an ounce of empathy for me. Not to mention if you would help me out the first time when I came to you. Oh, no, no, no. Don’t you dare try and blame me for this. I’m not.

I’m not trying to blame you for anything. I am simply saying, that with your help, this situation would not have gotten out of control. But stupidly, I pulled that trigger, and this thing began to unravel. And now, I’m out of options. This is life and death. I’ve got nobody left. I’ve got nothing left. I mean, what the hell am I supposed to do?

You’re not going to do anything. I’m going to call the police.

Sure is cold up here. Oh, but just take a look at that view. It’s breathtaking. I’ve never seen a more beautiful sunset.

I really am a total Dr. Doofenshmirtz, aren’t I? I wouldn’t have it any other way.

So, where are we going now? Well then, let’s just drive by the coast, find a little feel out we can spend the night in. Yeah, okay. Okay. I’m ready. Oh, I love this car. Uh oh. The car broke down. No, not the roaster. Damn it. I guess we’re just going to have to spend the night. Here, just, uh, gazing up at the stars.

Hey, well, as long as I have you right beside me, it doesn’t matter where I spend the night.

Yeah, I feel the same way.

We’re gonna survive this. Right.

Together, we can survive anything.

Emotional blackmail? Really? That’s where you’re going with this? Okay, where else am I supposed to go with this? I mean, I, I have apologized. I have begged. I know, I will admit to you that I am a bad person. I have made bad choices. I’ve been a damn fool about all Stop. Stop. Berating yourself isn’t gonna help anybody, especially not Tripp.

Now come on, we can’t panic here. I know you’re scared, I’m scared too. But we have to focus on what’s important, and that’s finding Tripp and Wendy. Right. Hey partner

We’re running out of options here

Now we can continue trying to dissect this video Or maybe it’s time that we Consider other options John, if we do this, we have to be all in. I got your back, buddy.

Alright. If breaking Weston out of prison is the only way to bring Tripp and Wendy home safely, then that’s what we’re gonna do.

I’ll call Ray for giving the heads up that you’re headed to the station to turn yourself in. Oh my god. Although, come to think of it He might be open to picking you up right here. Are you out of your mind? You know that going to the cops, EJ, is a surefire way to get me and Gabby killed. I mean, come on!

We’re family! Lower your voice, dammit. Holly and Nicole are asleep.

You know, if father was still alive, he would tell you to stand by me, and to do the right thing. But despite our differences, Despite my mistakes, he would tell you to preserve family at all costs.

All right, I’ll call you almonds, raise you two cashes. Oh, come on, I’m out. Kate? I call. I have what I believe is down as a full house. Damn, I thought you were bluffing. That’s a poker face. Well, I learned from the best. Yeah, what the hell was I thinking teaching you how to be me at poker?

On another note, any news? Any news on Harris? Actually, there’s great news. He came out of his coma. Yeah, it looks like he’s going to recover fully. Right, but what about the investigation? I mean, what about the guy who took a shot at me? What about the fire at the Horton House? Well, we all know who’s behind that.

Clyde Weston is determined to burn Salem and everything in its wake to the ground. I know, but is there any headway on the investigation at all? The police are keeping a tight lip, and under the circumstances, I think that’s a good move. Let’s them do their job without letting everything out for Clyde and the whole world to look at.

But he has got to pay. I mean, he has to. Well, as long as he’s still alive and he’s not paying for what he’s done, there’s gonna be a target on my back. What the hell is going on doing out there? Why haven’t you opened the hatch yet? What if it isn’t Goldman? What if it’s your dad or someone who can help us?

Hey! We’re inside! Open the hatch, please! So you conveniently invoke our father’s name in an effort to coerce me into mopping up

your mess. I believe you’ve employed the same strategy with me from time to time.

I’ll help you, Stefan. But, there is no get out of jail free card with this little game. Just like our father, I believe in quid pro quo. So in exchange for my services, You will sign over all of your Demura shares to me. Along with all land holdings and all your offshore assets. You gotta be kidding me. E. J.

will have nothing left. I’ll be destitute. Destitute, yes, but alive. I believe it’s more than a fair trade. Take your time to consider my offer. You can’t be serious. Oh, I am just as serious as you and Gabby were when you did the exact same to me. Or did that slip your simple mind? You know, you should really rent out that space between your ears, Stefan.

My God, you would net a fortune. So this is your offer? Take it or leave it. No matter to me either way.

And what do I get in return? What, besides your life? I’ll have you transported to a safe and secure location. Arrange you passage out of the country. Care to be specific? Ideally, I’ll drop you in a country that doesn’t hold any extradition treaty with the U. S. I have some other ideas, but I will share them with you in all due time.

Any other questions?

Obviously I need to keep Gabby safe. The only way I can protect her And yourself, don’t you forget. Is to give you everything that’s rightfully mine.

Fine. It’s yours. All my shares, everything you want, it’s all yours. You have my word. Well, your word is worthless. But your signature on a binding contract, ooh, that is pure gold. I’ll write something up that will formalize our arrangement without any risk of misunderstanding.

How’s the Horton rebuild coming? Um, well, not fast enough for Julie and Doug, you know, but Chad is handling the insurance and contractors for the most part, so. Yeah, Julie wants to, uh, restore the house to its original look. Her way of honoring the past, but, uh, I mean, that’s gonna be a challenge, but I think Julie can handle it.

And speaking of challenges I talked your mom into a 5k run next month. How’s she gonna do that? She doesn’t wear sneakers. First time, yeah. Good luck. Stop, stop. I mean, I admit I was slow to commit, but then I heard there was the prize, which is a 5, 000 bottle of wine. So I thought, hell no. Of course I couldn’t throw my hat in the ring.

Your mother is a huge fan of the Margot, plus the winner gets a, uh, winemaker’s dinner to boot, so. How can you beat that? Yeah, right. We are both highly, highly motivated. It’s nice to see. It’s nice to see you guys making plans, living your life to the fullest. Lucas, I know that you’re bored. I mean, I know that you’re lonely, but this isn’t going to last forever.

It’s not. No. Have you been thinking about your future? What you’re going to do next when you’re a free man? I have. Yeah. I’d love to start a new chapter in my life, maybe a new venture of some kind. But, um, you know, it’s gonna be tough if I don’t get my freedom, which I probably won’t get. Lucas, you don’t know that.

I know this is hard on you. I mean, I know it is. Way too much idle time, just like you said. And, uh, you miss your family, and you just I mean, all that time that you’d have spent in prison, all of that. You’ve been so brave through all of it, and I’ve been so, so proud of you. I have. And when you’re a free man, all of your family, including your children who adore you, well, we’re gonna make up for, We’re gonna make up for lost time, honey.

Okay? We’re gonna celebrate your return. And we are going to shower you with so much love and affection. Love and affection. I can handle that.

Alright, now that we’re all on board, how are we gonna pull this off? Well, first of all, we need to get blueprints of the prison. We need to know What kind of security system they have in place? What kind of video system? Yeah, sure. Okay. You know, if we had more time, we could disappear Weston into thin air.

Yeah. Yeah. What if we can’t? What if it’s just that easy? What do you mean? You got a plan? I think I might. No! Let us out of here! Please! Please! Let us out of here! It stopped. I knew it. The vents are closed.

How can you tell?

I don’t feel any air movement.

We’re sealed in. Those

are your disguises? With that hat, you look like Audrey Hepburn, I’m sure. Well, that’s a, that’s a lovely compliment. Are you sure no one followed you guys in here? Okay, look. Roman did at least three 180s on our drive over here. So, to make sure there were no one, no one following us. Trust me, we were not trailed.

I guarantee it. Okay, so you have the supplies, the toiletries, the goodies, the treats, the books, the Count of Monte Cristo, don’t forget that. Also, there’s a note from Julie and I, um, I tucked it into one of the other books. Oh. All right, I’ll look for that. Thank you. Thanks for all my supplies, and thanks for coming to see me.

I really miss you guys. We really miss you, too.

Could

you spend some time with me, Lucas?

Hopefully you’re going to be out of here. You’re gonna be out of here really soon. Yeah, well, I’m kind of nervous about that. Why? What do you mean? Well, this is all over. And Clyde’s out of the way, I mean, what happens? Do I go home, or do I go back to Statesville?

There. This covers all points we agreed upon. Uh, excuse me.

I’ll sign here.

You sign that.

Father would never approve of this. Oh, please. This is straight out of Father’s playbook. You thought you could handle Clyde Weston. You were wrong. You thought you could manage Harris Michaels. Wrong again. My help is the only option you have left, and this is what it costs.

It’s the 11th hour, Stefan. Time to wise up. Sign it.

There is another way. Okay, well, there isn’t. We have no choice. We’ve already established that, Steve. So, John, spill. How are we gonna pull this off? I gotta get back to the office. I need some hardware, huh? Yeah, I have an equipment list in mind. I’m gonna have to hit up some of our vendors. Okay, what can I do?

We are gonna need help from your family members if we’re gonna pull this off. Okay. I’ll make sure they’re at the ready. No, no, no, no,

no, no, no. They can’t, of course. Depends if they close the vents. Then that means we won’t be free. We have time. We have time. Time? How much time? I don’t know. But you do know it’s not that long, right? Okay, maybe it is four minutes. No, no, no. I can’t. We’re gonna be okay. Okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. It’s okay.

Okay. He’s trying to stay calm now, okay? Okay. For God’s Drip, what we have to do, Is get the hell out of here. I know. We’re gonna die. We’re gonna die. We can’t We can’t

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Devon: Checking out the big office while billy’s gone?

Nate: Uh, my power grabs are behind me. Just dropping off some figures to support chance’s pitch.

Devon: Oh, yeah. Now, that music festival is a great idea. And it was a great idea back when you pitched it before, too. Just wasn’t the right time. But I definitely see the value in doing something like that right now.

Nate: Well, I hope you could say the same for billy some. Too bad he came at it so hard.

Devon: Yeah, I actually think he said no to it just because I said yes, if I’m being honest.

Nate: It’s the only thing that makes sense. He’s been pulling for chance in every other way. He’s really taken him under his wing.

Devon: Yeah, tell me about it. He asked if I would loop chance in on all executive decisions while he’s out of town.

Nate: Not the kind of thing you do if you have it out for the guy.

Mamie: Hmm. As far as I’m concerned, billy abbott is just getting too full of himself.

Nate: Okay, aunt mamie.

Mamie: No, no. Shooting down good ideas, trying to add the abbott name to the company? And now he’s just coming and going as he pleases. I mean, didn’t he just go out of town and leave work?

Devon: Yeah, he had personal issues to deal with, but we talked about it. It’s fine.

Mamie: Yeah, well, it’s clear to me he has more invested in the family business. It might be time for us to consider grooming chance to be our ally.

Nina: Sweetheart!

Chance: Hi. Thank you for making time for me on the way to new york.

Nina: Of course! I had to see you. Oh, my goodness. Well, I will just never get tired of seeing you in a suit.

Chance: You wanna pick up my dry-cleaning bill?

Nina: Yes, I will. Absolutely. Because it means you’ve been working in an office and not on a case. Oh, my gosh. I can’t tell you how relieved I am to know that the only injury you’ll be risking these days is a paper cut.

Chance: Oh, well, don’t be too sure, mom.

Nina: Yeah, well, office politics? You were kind of vague on the phone. Is everything okay?

Chance: Yeah, everything’s fine. I’m just getting used to the new job. You know, a lot to learn. Not just numbers and spreadsheets.

Nina: But you’re still liking it?

Chance: Sure.

Nina: Well, you know, you don’t have to say that just to appease me. If the corporate world isn’t for you–

Chance: Look, the work’s fine. It’s exciting at times, really.

Nina: Well, I can tell something’s got you down, so what? Are you sorry you resigned as police chief?

Chance: Well, let’s just say that c-suite players can be just as slippery as criminals.

Nikki: I am telling you, seth reaching out to me was not as innocent as I thought it was. Jordan put him up to it. I am certain of that. And I have her phone number. This is the opportunity we have been waiting for.

Victor: Well, then kindly take us through it again, because I wanna be absolutely certain this is not a trap.

Victoria: I agree, mom. We all know how devious jordan is.

Cole: What did seth say exactly?

Nikki: Okay, I met with him today at crimson lights and he kept mentioning this woman, isabel, from our aa meetings. And she used to be a friend of mine and then urged him to reconnect with me. Only I don’t know anybody named isabel.

Cole: And she– she matches jordan’s description?

Nikki: Well, not the way he described her, but she does like disguises, so I don’t know.

Victor: Sweetheart, that’s exactly why I don’t want you to leave the ranch. That seth guy could have led jordan right to you.

Nikki: But he didn’T. And since I told him I don’t know any isabel, he is as suspicious as I am.

Cole: Does he know where this isabel or jordan, does he know where she’s staying? Because if so, we’ll just call the cops and have them check it out.

Nikki: He just said that she approached him at a bar. He didn’t say which one.

Seth: Two more for the road. Now, tell me, what is the real story with you and nikki?

Jordan: I– I– I– I can’t believe that she said that she doesn’t remember me.

Seth: Not even a glimmer.

Jordan: She’s denying that we were even friends?

Seth: She says she’s never known an isabel.

Jordan: She hates me that much. I have let her down that much.

Seth: No, no, no. Maybe she just doesn’t remember. You said you guys partied a lot back in the day.

Jordan: Yeah, but this isn’t right. No, no. I– [ Exhales ] I changed my mind. I wanna see her. So please, call. Call nikki. Set up a meeting with her. Tell her that you wanna meet her somewhere private and out of the way, and I’ll join you. I need to look at her in the eyes. There’s no way she could have forgotten me. When you have chronic kidney disease…

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Jordan: I’m sure that once nikki sees me, she’ll recognize me. It’ll all come flooding back to her.

Seth: I’m sure you’re right. I’m sure it will come flooding back. Especially after she sees you out of that cheap wig.

Jordan: Excuse me?

Seth: I didn’t really notice it at first, but it’s kind of obvious, really.

Jordan: You know, it’s rather impolite to comment on a woman’s appearance.

Seth: Hey, cut the crap, isabel. You’re not nikki newman’s long-lost friend. You’re the monster who kidnapped her and forced vodka into her veins. You’re the reason that she fell off the wagon.

Jordan: I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Maybe you’ve had one too many.

Seth: Oh, come on. You think a couple of drinks is enough to get an old professional drinker like me sloshed? That’s just another sign that you’re not who you say you are. Yeah, that and that little act of you throwing the drink in the bus car.

Jordan: I don’t have to listen to this.

Seth: You are despicable. You’re not going anywhere.

Nikki: I asked seth to string isabel along to buy us a little time, but I don’t think should wait on this.

Victor: Well, I’m not gonna rely on seth, okay? I’m gonna call my security and the cops, and don’t do anything until I get back.

Victoria: Mom, are you okay? I cannot believe how this woman continues to find ways to get to us.

Cole: It’s outrageous. The fact that she infiltrated your aa group?

Nikki: Well, luckily, I figured out her game before she could do any real damage.

Victoria: Well, let’s hope so, but you still seem really shaken up right now.

Claire: I think I know another reason why nikki’s upset. Me. Having me out of the hospital and living in your home, it must be unnerving. I’m sorry.

Nikki: No, you shouldn’t feel that way. You’re family. You’re welcome here.

Claire: I appreciate you saying that, but there’s no way that you aren’t still furious about what jordan and i put you through. And pretending that those feelings don’t exist, it’s not healthy for any of us.

Nina: Who’s being slippery? No, seriously, I want names.

Chance: Stand down, mom, all right? It’s nothing like that, but I do feel like I’m caught in some sort of power play between billy and devon.

Nina: Over what? It seems like they both have plenty of power there.

Chance: Yeah, well, I think devon resents that jill brought billy into a high-level position without consulting him.

Nina: They’ve worked together in the past. I mean, why do you say that?

Chance: Well, you know how billy’s been mentoring me?

Nina: Yeah, yeah, you said it was going good.

Chance: Yeah, it has. I was a little hesitant at first, but he’s been great. He’s been showing me the ropes. He’s invited me to meetings. He’s answering my questions. It’s good. The other day, I pitched this pretty big idea, right? And devon liked it.

Nina: Good.

Chance: Well, it was, until billy saw that devon showed interest. And then billy had this, like, about face. You know, he basically dismissed my proposal right there, right in front of everyone.

Nina: Oh, that was pretty rotten of him. Must have stung.

Chance: Well, it’s not the rejection I’m worried about. I don’t care. You know, I nearly died in the field. I mean, I can handle somebody turning down my proposal. I just don’t wanna be used. I don’t wanna be a pawn in whatever this is brewing between the two.

Nina: Can you talk to billy about it?

Chance: I tried. And he denied it all. And get this. He just left town on a personal matter. Made me his eyes and ears.

Nina: So, he shoots down your idea and then wants you to report back to him?

Chance: Puts me right in the middle. I feel like I’m working undercover again. You know, I’m spying on the people I’m supposed to be in with.

Nina: So, what do you want to happen here?

Chance: I gotta figure out how to play this, you know? I guarantee this isn’t the last time somebody asked me to pick sides.

Nina: You know, you don’t have to stay there if you don’t want to.

Chance: Whoa. That’s a 180. What happened? I thought you liked me in the suit.

Nina: No, I love the suit. Keep the suit. Just, um, leave the job if you need to. I mean, believe me, I want you behind a desk. I don’t want you in the field. But there are other places that you can do that. I want you safe and I want you happy. Just because your name is chancellor doesn’t mean you have to work there. I mean, it’s your birthright, but the choice has to be yours.

Chance: Yeah, I guess you’re right. I could always leave. Or I could stay. Turn things to my advantage.

Devon: I don’t think it’s a good idea to use chance as part of some backroom maneuver.

Mamie: Billy and jill don’t have any qualms with it. It is very clear that they’re grooming him.

Nate: He’s a chancellor. It makes sense.

Devon: I understand that, but there’s enough tension as it is between me and billy without using chance as a pawn. And I like chance and his ideas.

Mamie: Well, then all the more reason to have him on our side.

Devon: Well, it doesn’t help when you talk about sides like that either.

Mamie: Billy abbott doesn’t belong here, devon. You know that. I know it. I have no doubt that he is scheming how he can wrest more power from you. But you know what? He can’t help it. It’s just the way that he thinks. He’s always been a gambler at heart. He’s always trying to figure out how he can get over on someone. How he can get the better hand.

Amanda: I don’t think it’s fair to say that billy’s the one with power on his mind. Wow. This must be the famous mamie johnson. It is my honor to meet you. (Hamlet) it’s beggin’!

Mamie: Ms. Sinclair.

Amanda: Please, call me amanda.

Mamie: I can do that. I heard that you were visiting genoa city.

Amanda: Yeah, jill asked me to come since she has other commitments.

Mamie: Oh, now, honey, you can be more straight with us than that. She sent you here to spy.

Devon: Okay. Hey, you know what? Nate and I actually have some things we need to go over.

Nate: Maybe we can all get together some other time.

Amanda: No, but I always wanted to meet your aunt. It’s not just anyone who can take on jill abbott.

Mamie: Oh, now, maybe we should go somewhere and get some drinks.

Devon: No, you definitely don’t need to do that, mamie.

Mamie: But I want to, devon. I have a message that I’d like to give to amanda to pass on to her boss.

Amanda: Intriguing. That’s exciting. What kind of message?

Mamie: Call it a proposition. One that might put this imaginary battle behind us.

Chance: Devon and billy, they’re distracting. So, this is a great opportunity for me to prove I’m above all that.

Nina: Oh, I don’t think I like the sound of this. I thought my days of worrying about you were over. It sounds to me you’re putting yourself smack dab in the middle of a fight.

Cole: Listen, we all still have feelings about what happened, but we’ve been working through those.

Victoria: If my mom says you’re welcome here, she means it.

Nikki: But you’re right, claire. Anger doesn’t begin to describe how I feel about what your aunt is continuing to do to all of us. And yes, you are a reminder of that.

Victoria: Mom!

Claire: No. It’s okay. I want to hear this.

Nikki: More and more, when I look at you, I see victoria. Her strength. Her intelligence. And I am determined to get to the point where I won’t think about your aunt when you walk into the room. Because I am not going to let her have that kind of power over me. And I am so pleased that your recovery is such that a judge approved your release.

Claire: Thank you. And I promise you, all of you, I will not make you regret that.

Nikki: This is your home now. For as long as necessary.

Claire: Now, what do I need to do about my aunt jordan?

Jordan: I need some air. You bought me a lot of drinks. Not all of them got dumped.

Seth: Yeah, I was trying to get you sloshed. Get you to slip up, admit something, but you’re tough nut to crack.

Jordan: Fine. You got me. I lied about knowing nikki as well as I claimed. We’re not best friends. But I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. Kidnapping? Forcing vodka into her veins? That’s insane.

Seth: Sure is.

Jordan: Who the hell would do something like that? Because it sure as hell wasn’t me.

Seth: Well, there’s an easy enough way to find out. We’ll just go meet with nikki, like you asked, and her husband, victor. And you know what? We’ll throw in a couple of cops for good measure, just in case our suspicions about you are correct. And if you’re telling the truth, then the laugh’s on me. Sound like a plan? Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Nate: I don’t know how much patience I have left with aunt mamie. She is determined to drive a wedge between the chancellors and the winters. Create a problem where there is none.

Devon: I mean, I know she’s stirring things up, but I don’t know if I’d go as far as to say there’s a wedge between us.

Nate: Look, I agree, billy coming on board drew a line that didn’t exist while lily was here. Yes.

Devon: Now, you are right about that, ’cause I never felt like it was us versus them until jill brought billy in. And I do agree with what mamie says about billy. I think that he does want more control and more power.

Nate: Look, I am all for keeping our eyes on billy, but the man left town to deal with personal matters with all this going on. That doesn’t sound like a man on a power-grabbing mission.

Devon: Well, I don’t have a big problem with him taking personal time for himself, but I do think he wants to have it all. And I think he enjoys being able to sit in an office like this and do what he wants to do and leave when he wants to leave. Whereas, you take chance, you know, and it just feels like already, he’s a little more committed to the business.

Nate: Are you saying you think mamie’s right? That we should cozy up to chance?

Devon: No, I’m saying that she’s not wrong in thinking that chance might make a good ally if things get messy.

Chance: Don’t worry, mom. I’m not looking for any trouble. I wanna do just the opposite. I wanna show that I’m the adult in the room, you know? Prove that I actually have the company’s best interests at heart, not my own.

Nina: Unlike devon and billy.

Chance: Exactly. And I think nate’s in the same position. I mean, he told me he was exactly where I am now. Putting out ideas and getting them shot down. So, maybe he’s the one I need to align with. I mean, I doubt he likes what’s going on between devon and billy.

Nina: Ugh, all this talk about alliances. I don’t know. Oh, mamie! Hi! And amanda! It’s so nice to see you. Did you know amanda was in town?

Chance: I did.

Amanda: Yeah, going to chancellor-winters, it’s like old home week.

Nina: Chance was just saying how exciting it is to work at such an amazing company.

Amanda: Yeah, and jill is thrilled to have him, really.

Mamie: Devon and nate are always singing your praises. They said there’s a proposal, too that they’re very excited about. I’m looking forward to what you’re going to do in the future, young man. Well, we’re gonna leave you to your mother and son date you must be so proud. He’s brilliant. Handsome, too.

Nina: I am proud. Thank you so much.

Chance: You all are great for my ego, thank you.

Amanda: Nice to see you both.

Nina: Enjoy.

Mamie: You know, chance is quite a lovely man. I’m actually very impressed with how he and devon work well together.

Amanda: Oh, jill will be very happy to hear you say that.

Mamie: Yes, well, there is history, but adults learn how to let things go.

Amanda: Just like you let go of your old grudge against jill, right?

Chance: That is not good.

Nina: Why not?

Chance: Well, there’s no reason for those two to be meeting alone. Something’s up.

Mamie: What I feel about jill is not a grudge.

Amanda: Oh, I’m sorry. How would you describe it?

Mamie: Why don’t we have our drinks first? We’ll be nicer that way.

Claire: You got me out so I could help. I’m ready.

Victor: You’re right. Now that we have a possible phone number for jordan, it’s time for you to reach out.

Victoria: Are you sure you’re up to it? You don’t have to do this tonight.

Cole: Claire, talking to jordan isn’t gonna be easy. It’s bound to bring up a lot of feelings. I mean, you can wait till morning, get a good night’s sleep.

Victor: Cole, time is of the essence.

Nikki: If jordan is using seth to get to me, she clearly has a plan. Let’s take advantage of her slip-up here.

Claire: I agree. And I won’t be able to sleep anyway, not until this is over with. Maybe a phone call will give us a better idea of what she’s up to, and then victor will make sure that she can never torment us again.

Victor: You bet.

Jordan: Your grip is very strong. You’re hurting me. Please let me go.

Seth: Not unless you agree to meet with nikki and victor.

Jordan: Fine. But the laugh will be on you, so you better get ready to apologize.

Seth: We’ll see. Hey, where do you think you’re going?

Jordan: I’m gonna go get that air that I need.

Seth: Okay. All right, then we will go outside, and we can call nikki together.

Jordan: Really? Really? Is that necessary?

Seth: I’m not letting you out of my sight. Come on, after you.

Jordan: Go on, make the call. I’m looking forward to the reunion.

[ Engine revving ]

[ Jordan grunting ]

[ Car crashing ]

[ Jordan panting ] I would’ve called yesterday. it was just awful.

Jordan: Someone call 911! Oh, my god, there’s been an accident out there. It was just awful. It was awful. I tried to get him to stop and he just said he wanted it over. He wanted it to stop, and then he looked me right in the eye, and he said, “tell nikki newman that I’m sorry.” And then, he just walked right out in front of the car. He killed himself right in front of me.

Claire: Do you have that number?

Nikki: Yes.

Claire: No answer. It’s a voicemail. It says leave a message for isabel.

Victor: Hang up right now. Be patient. We cannot let her know we are on to her.

Cole: Claire, are you okay?

Victoria: You look disappointed.

Claire: I had psyched myself up that things might be finished soon. We could all get on with our lives, but I just wanna focus on the future. I can’t do that until jordan’s dealt with.

Nikki: Amen to that.

Nate: I’ve got to wonder if this is more about you and your need to always be in the middle of some corporate scuffle. Everyone talks about billy jonesing for a win, but maybe it’s you who needs the adrenaline hit.

Devon: Where is this coming from?

Nate: Think about it. First, lily. Then, it was with me, and now it’s happening all over again with billy. Three dierent battles, but you’re the constant.

Devon: I’m the constant. That’s how you really feel?

Nate: I’m just pointing out a pattern.

Devon: Okay. Well, let me point out that on all three of those occasions you just brought up, I was trying to protect the company, and more importantly, neil’s name and legacy. And if you recall, our biggest threat came from you. And then I forgave you and gave you a second chance by hiring you back here, and then you’re gonna stand in front of me and tell me I have an issue?

Nate: I am not trying to turn this into another fight.

Devon: What are you trying to do?

Nate: I just think the best way to protect the company and the winters’ ne is by focusing on the work. Let billy self-destruct. It’s what he does best. And when he does, we’ll be strong as ever.

Devon: And I’m all for doing that, but I’m not gonna turn a blind eye and let us become vulnerable.

Nate: If you wanna know the truth, I think the person we should be most concerned about is in our own family. Aunt mamie.

Mamie: Amanda, I’ve heard some really wonderful things about you over the years, from both devon and nate.

Amanda: Um, well, they both adore you. I’m sure you’re very happy to be spending so much time with them.

Mamie: Yes, I’m very fond of my great niece and nephews. And I’ve just recently come into a really different focus on my life right now. So, you know, family and tradition and legacy, those are all very important to me right now.

Amanda: You know, jill has been saying some of the same things. I think you two are more alike than you wanna admit.

Mamie: Yeah, well, jill and i can both get what we want, but not right now. I am proposing that we have a clear and concise redivision of chancellor-winters.

Amanda: I’m sorry. You want a divided chancellor-winters? You wanna undo the merger?

Mamie: Well, it’s more complicated than that, but yeah, uh-huh. That’s exactly what I’m saying. It’s time. So, you know, that’s the message I want you to give to her.

Amanda: With all due respect, jill would never agree. It would undermine and undo all of chancellor-winters advances. It would make leadership look weak and unstable. We would lose all public confidence.

Mamie: Okay, so we don’t do it in any public-facing way. We do it internally. The company remains a united front, but we do our paperwork to create clear internal boundaries. We work independently. We do our thing, you do yours.

Amanda: That would defeat the purpose of the merger.

Mamie: Which ultimately was a failed move.

Amanda: Again, jill would disagree with that assessment.

Mamie: Let’s all just get back to work and stop all of this infighting. Let’s just get back to what we all know how to do well.

Amanda: Hmm. Ms. Johnson, I have to ask, what do you get out of all of this?

Nina: Look over there. There are two brilliant, successful women who could easily be working together, but are clearly at odds. I mean, amanda’s stepping in for jill, right?

Chance: Yeah, basically.

Nina: Yeah, so it’s jill abbott versus mamie johnson. Cue the fireworks.

Chance: Well, that’s the business. That’s what I’m learning, anyways.

Nina: Ugh. All this posturing and politics. Two things I know you hate.

Chance: Yeah, true. But you know what? I do have one advantage. The line between right and wrong has always been clear to me, so if I just stick to my instincts, nobody can mess with me. Hi, I’m sally.

Nina: Well, I guess a corporate battle is still safer than a shootout.

Chance: There has been no blood, so far.

Nina: I just don’t want you to become so disillusioned that you change your mind about this career move. I need you to be safe, but I also want you to be happy. You know, no conflict, no drama.

Chance: Yeah, I know when to engage and when to back away.

Nina: Yeah, well, I know how jill can get when she’s in a fight, and if that’s where this is headed, it’s not gonna be easy.

Mamie: My one and only agenda is to protect my family, and right now, we are worried about jill and billy. When she put him back into position, it just destabilized everything. People didn’t know what their motives were. No. My plan puts an end to that threat and the doubts that it caused.

Amanda: Ms. Johnson, I see your logic and I do respect your motives.

Mamie: Now, you can be certain that jill will assume the worst. So, you be sure to give that idea your blessing when you fill her in on it.

Amanda: I could tell jill that it’s the most brilliant idea in the world, and still, it would be a resounding no.

Devon: Mamie is not the problem, billy is the problem, and the fact that you don’t see that makes me question where your loyalty lies.

Nate: So, we’re back to that, that I am the problem?

Devon: Did I say that? I just said billy is after you just accused me of being the problem.

Nate: I accused you of having a blind spot about your role in creating conflict.

Devon: I see. Well, either way, we’re not getting anywhere, are we? I think maybe we just need to wait and see what this proposition is that mamie has for jill.

Nate: And it doesn’t bother you that she didn’t discuss it with us first?

Claire: I just said I won’t be able to sleep, but now I’m so tired.

Victoria: I know. This day has been so much for you. Why don’t we take you upstairs so you can at least try to get some rest, and we’ll make that call again tomorrow.

Cole: Your mom’s right. Listen, I’m gonna take off too, and I’m gonna check in with you first thing in the morning, okay?

Victoria: I’ll show you to your room. Come on.

Nikki: Good night.

Claire: Sleep well, sweetheart.

Cole: Have a good night.

Victor: See you, cole.

Nikki: It’s a miracle that victoria got her daughter back.

Victor: All the more reason we put an end to this jordan threat.

Nikki: I was hoping I would have heard back from seth with an update.

Victor: Any response?

Nikki: No. What if I’m wrong? I mean, what if this is just a woman named isabel and I forgot about her?

[ Victor sighing ]

Victor: I don’t think you’re wrong. What we’ll do is we’ll proceed with my original plan. We will stage a photo shoot in front of victoria’s house. The whole group. That way jordan will think that is where claire lives.

Nikki: Between that and the news item you planted, when jordan sees that claire has been released to our care, she won’t be able to help herself.

Victor: And we have got jordan right where we want her.

[ Jordan panting ] Why don’t you come and join us?

Amanda: It was nice seeing the two of you.

Nina: Oh wait, amanda, why don’t you come and join us?

Amanda: Um, yeah, sure, I will.

Nina: Good. So, I guess you’re meeting with all the heavy hitters at chancellor-winters while you’re in town?

Amanda: Uh, yes. Jill has me taking care of a few things for her, but I am happy to do it.

Nina: And I suppose you know about jill and mamie’s eternal feud.

Amanda: Some. I think I understand it a little more now. There are only two choices when people are that much alike. Best friends or mortal enemies.

Nina: Oh, right? Nailed it.

Chance: I think they actually respect each other and they just enjoy sparring.

Amanda: Yeah, don’t tell your grandmother that.

Nina: Oh, god, no.

Mamie: Oh good, you’re both still here.

Devon: Well, I assume that you came back because you had something to report about your conversation with amanda?

Mamie: I do.

Devon: And was it a business proposition that you gave her?

Mamie: It was.

Devon: So you’re gonna talk to us about drawing lines in the sand and then go send a proposition to jill before discussing with us first?

Mamie: Oh, honey, I was just merely testing amanda out. I threw her a line to see if she would bite.

Nate: And did she?

Mamie: Well, she saw my point of view, but she was sure that jill would just turn me down flat. Oh, well. It would have been nice if we’d been able to hash this out as two old friends, but, you know, this less peaceful way suits me just fine.

Victor: I’m gonna go and make you a cup of tea.

Nikki: Oh, thank you, darling. That’s so sweet.

[ Phone ringing ] This is nikki newman. Who is this?

Padilla: This is officer padilla, gcpd, calling about seth morgan.

Nikki: Has something happened?

Padilla: I’m sorry to tell you there’s been a hit and run. Mr. Morgan didn’t survive.

Nikki: Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

Padilla: Witness told the bartender he stepped in front of the car on purpose.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I cannot wait to tell youand show you the progress I’ve been makingat physical therapy. Yeah, I’m getting some of my moves back.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, okay. Me too, honey. See you soon. Is trina here?

[ Sighs ] No. No, pop. She went out. I know you’re worried about her, son, but you give trina some time. She’s been through a lot, but it is true what they say — time does heal all wounds. Says the man who oughta know. Did you tell him? Tell me what?

[ Clears throat ] Oh. Sorry. No. Were you praying? Just thinking. How’s my little nephew? We are waiting for the test results. Yeah. Um, but kevin was here with a patient, so, um, he’s with him now. Ace has been so brave. He takes after his grandma. You know something? You can actually be sweet when you want to be.

[ Laughs ] I know your surprise is justified by my behavior, but it still stings just a little. There is nothing I wouldn’t do for the people I love, and there’s no limit to what I will do to anyone who tries to hurt them. Copy that. I’ll be returning to pentonville with the prisoner immediately.

[ Engine revving ] Dex, we’re not gonna get there any faster if you get pulled over for speeding. I’ll keep it to 10 over. Hey. I want to get there just as badly as you do. From what michael said, all hell is about to break loose and he does not exaggerate. It has to be connected to whoever was trying to take sonny out in puerto rico. Yeah, and that means whoever’s around him is in danger. Let’s try this again, sonny. Why are you here tonight? Please don’t say it was because you were setting up a card game with selina wu. Am I under arrest? Is — is ava under arrest? No. Not at this time. Okay. Then we are under no obligation to stay. John: This is a federal investigation, which means I can hold the two of you up to 48 hours without charging you. In fact, I don’t have to hold you at the pcpd. I can have you transported to an fbi facility. Sonny, I know you’ve been to one recently. How about you, ms. Jerome? You might benefit from the experience. You okay with this, anna? He’s threatening to take ava into federal custody. On what grounds? ‘Cause she’s standing next to me? Agent cates has the authority to investigate this case however he sees fit. This has nothing to do with any case! Tell them what it has to do with, jagger. It has to do with karen wexler.

[ Coughs ]

[ Groans and coughs ]

[ Breathing shakily ] Jason — no, no. Don’t talk, don’t talk.

[ Groans ] I’m gonna help you. Yeah, I’m on pier 55. A man’s been shot twice in the chest. Dante. Hey, dante. He just passed out. Get the paramedics here now.


Drew just tucked scout in her bed, and she fell asleep right away.

[ Laughs ] She was exhausted, but she kept saying how she was so excited that she had this birthday party. Well, you can always tell the success of a party by how much cake you find all over the house hours later. Oh, no, no, no. She was telling him that the cake — she loved it, the gifts. And she loved most of all that her dad threw her the party. Aw, after all the time he spent away from her, I bet drew enjoyed the party more than the scout did, right? Oh, he fell asleep reading her “the ugly duckling” for, like, the millionth time, and I didn’t have the heart to wake him. You know, I — actually, I remember that — that was dante’s favorite book, too. You know, I swear to god, I read that book to him so many times, it was like I could recite the thing by heart. I was always trying to skip over the pages to get to the end quicker, and you know what? He always caught me, every single time. Mm!

[ Laughs ] His first little detective work.

[ Laughs ] I love it. Dante’s so brave and solid. I just — I can’t picture in my head. I-I think I always forget that he was a little boy, too, once. Ah, he’s been through a lot, but he’s still that same sweet little kid that used to bring me flowers home from school. I mean, turns out they were mr. Coletti’s prize roses, but I digress.

[ Both laugh ] I love seeing my son happy. I’m so glad he found you. I am so glad that we found each other.

[ Chuckles ] I’m gonna call brick and see if he knows where sonny is. You really think brick’s gonna give you any information about sonny? Well, I’ll try. I’ll explain, and hopefully he’ll understand. Hey, brick, it’s joss. Do you know where sonny is? I — wait. Are you su– yeah. Okay. What is it? I’m looking right now. A police scanner in port charles is reporting gunfire on the waterfront. Authorities are looking to lock down the whole area. It’s gotta be sonny. What are you doing? You’re getting off at the next exit.

[ Scoffs ] Call a rideshare and go home. I’ll call you when I know more. Okay, forget it. I am not leaving you. I’d feel a lot better if I knew you were safe. But we don’t have time to argue about this. Good. Then we’ll stick to the plan, and we’ll go into port charles together. We are investigating attempts on your life and a possible connection to a larger conspiracy. Maybe that’s why the fbi sent you. But that’s not why

you’re here, jagger. Why — why are you calling him that? Oh, back in the day, his name was john. And then it was too ordinary, so he — he needed a cooler name, so he named himself jagger. And he had a girlfriend named karen wexler. I told you to keep her name out of your mouth! Thank you for proving my point. See, he hates me for what he thinks I did to — oh, I don’t think. I know. I had a front-row seat. So why don’t you tell ’em, sonny? You tell them what you did. No, jagger,

you tell ’em. I never claimed to be a saint. Far from it. You know that better than anyone, laura. But I do hope you know that my attempts to change are genuine. You do seem to be trying. Being a part of a family, of — of your family, has filled a void in my life that I didn’t even know existed. And I know I haven’t been trustworthy in the past, but I hope you believe me when I say that spending time with you has made me a better man. I know that there’s goodness in you. I’ve always known it, no matter how deeply you tried to bury it, but… words are not enough, even words quoted from the good book. Then tell me how I can prove myself to you. I can’t do the work for you. You need to figure that out yourself. Okay. But I will say this — I am very grateful to you for tonight, for helping me to get ace to the hospital quickly. Oh, I am so glad that I was there. Me too. I just hope you can keep him away from his other grandmother. Heather webber will be going back to pentonville, so she will not be able to get close to ace ever again. Look s like the warden’s out of patience.

[ Groans ] Time for you to go home. Your cell is waiting for you. Well, but wait. I-I-I’m still in so much pain! Doesn’t the doctor have to okay my release? I don’t know. That’s above my pay grade. I’m just following orders. Oh, but honey, the pain in my hip is really unbearable.

[ Gasps ] You don’t like to see an old woman suffer, do you?

[ Whimpers ] Honey, I am so parched. The — the nurse just left my water right out of reach. Could you pl– please? Right there. Okay, okay, okay, fine. And then we’re out of here. Ah! Come on!

[ Grunts ]


You’ll be fine. Oh! [ Chuckles ] I am seriously out of shape. I need more yard time. Okay. I don’t know why people are so nervous around cyrus renault. I think his radio show is very inspiring. That’s because you don’t know his history in port charles. That man is bad news. I just hope that lightning doesn’t strike the chapel while cyrus is in there praying for that adorable little nephew of his.

[ Scoffs ] Start praying for yourself, cyrus. So, are you saying that portia was on the right track when she suggested that you were misdiagnosed all those years ago? Son, your wife — she is an excellent physician and a very perceptive woman. Your father’s been off his meds for an entire year at this point without any symptoms. It seems obvious that he never suffered from schizophrenia at all. Hmm. Uh, that’s great news. Pop, um, you’ve had this information for a while now. How come you didn’t tell me when you first found out? You had some other things going on in your life, son. And, truthfully, I… I felt like a fool. I ran out on my wife and family, left you and tommy with no father, and all for nothing. I should have handled it all so, so differently. Well, pop, the past is the past. And you did what you thought was right at the time. But you’re here now. Now, I know it doesn’t make up for all those lost years, but at least you don’t have a schizophrenia diagnosis hanging over your head. It feels like I’ve traded one sword for another, since I still don’t actually know what was wrong with me. Well, uh, you want some? I know how much you wanted to get to the bottom of this, so I have been requesting old records and putting together a list of the revolving door of doctors who treated you for schizophrenia. Did you find anything? Actually, I did. I was able to find the signature of the so-called specialist that signed off on your father’s diagnosis. After all these years? Mm-hmm. This is great. Pop, this is great. So now we just — we track down that doctor and we get the answers we need. Pop, I know there’s something you want to tell aunt stella? Thanks. But no thanks. Yes. Yeah. He’s still breathing. Wh– what’s the eta on the paramedics? Okay, well, he can live if they get here in time.

[ Sighs ] Come on, dante, just hold on. You can make it.

[ Siren wailing ] Okay, good. They’re coming. Hey, you can make it. Karen was my high school girlfriend. She was smart. And she was ambitious. And she was beautiful. She was a survivor of childhood sexual abuse.

[ Sighs ] She repressed the memories, but it… it messed with her emotionally. Enter sonny. See, he owned a strip club called paradise lounge, and he convinced karen that she could empower herself, that she could take charge of her life… by stripping. Did I mention she was underage? Did you know that, sonny? Yeah, I did. Now, I will admit, sonny didn’t force her. He persuaded her. And when she got nervous about getting out there on that stage, he gave her drugs. And then in the end… …you slept with her. That’s the man you’re standing next to, ms. Jerome. And that’s the man you’ve been defending, anna.


30 years ago, I did own a nightclub called the paradise lounge. And it’s true, I befriended karen. She — she was curious about dancing, and I encouraged her, and — and I regret it 150%. And if I — if I had to do it all over again, I would do it totally different. Karen… was abused. And she was hurt and she was acting out. That’s how she made her way to me, because she needed somewhere to go. And I don’t care if you believe me or not, but I was there to help her. By sleeping with her? By giving her drugs? No, by listening to her, by understanding what it’s like to be a young kid, powerless, and you — you can’t stop somebody from hurting you! There’s a lot you don’t know about karen. And that’s the real reason you hate me, jagger. You are like the pied piperfrom hell, sonny. You find these damaged kids and you pretend to save them, when really you’re just exploiting them. That’s what you did to karen! And you did it to stone.

[ Siren wailing ] Dante? Hey, hey. Okay. It’s joss. It’s joss. We’re gonna help you. Someone did a field dressing. Well, we have to do something else. It’s a chest wound. From the way he’s breathing, the lung is collapsed. We need to plug these holes so the lung doesn’t collapse more. Okay, okay. Come on, come on, come on. Wait. Someone’s on the phone. Operator? Hello? Yeah, I’m on pier 55. A man has been shot. No, there’s nobody else here. He’s alone. Yeah, I can hear the sirens. How long until the paramedics get here? They need to hurry. Hey, honey, thanks for sticking around to help me clean up. Yeah, of course. It was the least I could do. After all, you helped throw scout’s party. Aw. The smile on her little face was thanks enough.

[ Laughs ] That and the gigantic chunk of cake I got stashed in the fridge for later. Um, I’m actually — I’m gonna go. Okay. And if scout wakes up, have drew handle her. Uh-huh. I, um… I don’t want to impose on their time together. Well, has that been a thing? I mean, are you — you guys are getting along, aren’t you? You know what? You know what? Ah! Olivia, shut your mouth. Just mind your own business. Just tell me to butt out. No, no, no. It’s okay, it’s okay. Um… no one ever said co-parenting was gonna be easy. Aw. Drew and I had our first disagreement over what’s best for scout. Right. Well, honey, that’s very normal. That’s gonna happen. You know, the stories that I could tell you about me and ned — I mean, two big personalities, and we butt heads all the time about what’s best for leo. But then at the end of the day, you know, talk it out, kiss and make up. Not that — I’m not telling you to kiss drew, but I’m just — no, I know.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I totally understand what you’re saying. I-I don’t want you to think that there’s friction between me and drew, because there isn’T. It’s not like that. Okay. The truth is, ever since drew came out of pentonville, something happened in there that changed everything about him. Well, I wish I could say that i don’t have experience with that, but unfortunately I do. You know, when — when dante came back with the ptsd, it was like he was a different person. You know, after the torture and the brainwashing, it was like — it was like the boy that I raised was just out of reach. I guess we’re really lucky that dante was strong and brave enough to come back to us. Luck had nothing to do with it, all right? My boy went through hell, and I didn’t think there was any way he was ever coming back. And then you came along.

[ Cellphone chimes ] It’s elizabeth. Cyrus: Good news, I hope? Uh, yes, as a matter of fact, it is.

[ Laughs ] Ace has a really nasty ear infection. He’s going to need a strong antibiotic, but after that, he’s gonna be fine. Oh, then my prayers have been answered. Does this mean you get to take him home tonight? Uh, yeah. I just want to fill this prescription while they’re getting him ready to be discharged. Is he old enough for lollipops? Because he probably deserves at least a couple for being so brave, don’t you think?

[ Laughs ] Well, I mean, if not a lollipop, I-I would say that he does deserve some sort of a treat. Ah. You kn ow, I-I really likehow you are when you’re thinking about what’s best for ace. Really, it’s like — like you are — you’re really learning how to be part of a family. Ah. That really means a lot coming from you. Uh, just please, uh, keep me informed how the little guy is doing, okay? I will. Thanks. Ah. Thank you, god.

[ Door opens ] Forget something? Never!


What are you doing here? Uh, what does anybody come to a place like this for? You’re a man of god now. You should know. I’m here to pray. And what do you pray for? An answer. Ah. Well, the lord is always willing to enlighten us. What’s your question? I want to know why a old, lying, bankrupt weasel like yourself gets to go on living while my sweet esme is dead. Does that seem fair to you? Don’t even try it! Oh, poof!

[ Laughs ] Isn’t she a beauty? It’s amazing what you can find in a hospital, the tools they have to fix people.

[ Laughs ] And then… the other things that you could do with them. Ha! Ah. Whoo! I want you to suffer, old man, the way my esme suffered! Stone was my brother. No! Stone was my brother. He was a street kid you took in to run your errands, and when everything blew up with karen, when you were busted for underage talent, stone became your ticket to respectability. You couldn’t be more wrong, jagger. You were lower than dirt in port charles before stone redeemed you. And suddenly you were sonny corinthos, mobster with a heart of gold, philanthropist. Who cares about his criminal record? All anybody could talk about was how good you were to my brother. I loved your brother, and you know that! Maybe you did. Maybe every moment you spent with stone was sincere, but it still worked to your benefit. You’re a shrewd investor, sonny, and this paid off for you in spades, especially with stone’s girlfriend. Robin treated you like a benefactor. She practically canonized you to the city of port charles, and to her mother. That’s the real reason you defend sonny. Because she loves him. Because he was there when stone died. And you weren’T. Are you quite finished, agent cates? So let me get this straight, pop. You don’t want to find the doctor that misdiagnosed you? That mistake cost you your family, your future. It won’t change anything, son. It can’t give me back the years, not the time I lost with irene and you and tommy. There’s no getting that back. My focus needs to be on the life I have now. I thought I made that clear. You did. And I heard every word. But that was your pain talking, the regrets you feel. And I don’t want to add to that. It’s just the opposite, actually. You have been suffering as a prisoner of someone else’s mistake for 40 years! This is your chance to set yourself free. Aunt stella’s right, pop. I know you’re scared, but I will tell you words that you told me when I found myself in this chair. You’re not alone. I miss mom. I miss tommy. But you got me. This is right up my alley. Use my skills. We can pick up the thread aunt stella started, and we could follow it anywhere it takes us, and we can finally put the past where it belongs — in the past. Your son is a smart man. Listen to him, marshall. Pop, let me do this with you, okay? Let me help you — let me help you get these answers. Paramedics are on their way. I can hear the sirens. Just hold on. Who would bandage him up and then leave him? I don’t know. I don’t know what to do. Dante! How bad is he? From the amount of blood, it looks like multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. But we haven’t removed the pressure bandage, so we can’t be sure. I can’t find any other injuries. Okay. Uh, paramedics are on their way. I’m not getting a pulse.

[ Sirens wailing ]


Oh, no, I’m still not getting a pulse. Oh, my god. Paramedics have to be close. Okay, chase, take over for dex with putting pressure on the wound. I will do rescue breathing after you do chest compressions. Okay? Come on, dante, stay with us. We need you, man. Come on, dante. We’re almost there. We’re almost there. I cannot take credit for dante’s recovery. Oh, not all of it, no. I mean, he had to do the hard part himself, but… but you were a big part of that, sam. I mean, after everything he went through with the wsb, I’ll tell you, seeing him talk about you — and you guys weren’t even a couple then, by the way — it was the first time I ever saw that spark back in his eye, you know, the old dante. It was the first time I allowed myself to hope that everything might be okay. You never told me that. No, well, I’m telling you now, ’cause I know how happy you make my son. I am so grateful for you. I’m so grateful for your place in his life. I actually feel like the lucky one.

[ Laughs ] Because dante was a bigger man and he was brave and he was able to fight those demons. Yeah. And he got that strength from you. My son was at the lowest point in his life, and he needed something to live for. And falling in love with you

[Chuckles] Was a big part of that. Hmm. So, long overdue — thank you, sam. Thank you for giving me my son back. Come on, dante. Hang in there. The paramedics are almost here. Where the hell are they?

[ Vehicle doors slamming ] Hey, we’re back here! I got a pulse. Oh, my god! Hurry! My partner’s been shot. He’s got multiple bullet wounds to the chest that we know of. We lost his pulse, but we did chest compressions and rescue breathing.

[ Indistinct radio chatter ] The two of you may have just saved his life. Yeah, I hope so. Were you the ones who bandaged him?No, we found him like that. His legs were elevated, and the sweatshirt was tied around him like a pressure bandage. And whoever it was called 911. The operator was still on the phone when we got here. I am here for a job, but the job is not to take sonny down. That’s your job, commissioner devane, and I look forward to seeing you do it. If I find sonny or anyone else conducting a criminal enterprise, then I will use every legal means at my disposal to bring them to justice. Wonderful. Now that you both have declared your mission statements, you can get back to your investigation…[ Cellphone beeps ] …And sonny and I will get out of your way. One second. I have to go see one of the csi personnel. Ms. Jerome, mr. Corinthos, I’m gonna have to ask the two of you to stick around a little longer. How long are you gonna let him drag this out? I’m not letting him do anything. He has a case to work, and he has the authority to work it. After the show he just put on? Cates can’t be objective. He shouldn’t be anywhere near this case.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Excuse me. Oh, I-I have to take this. For what it’s worth, I believe you. What do you mean? About karen. I believe you, that you were trying to help her. Thank you. But cates never will, and an fbi agent with a grudge is a bad enemy to have. We’re in a place of god, heather.

[ Laughs ] Please, just put the saw down. Yeah. I-I don’t think so. I want you to listen to me! And I want you to admit what you’ve done. This little baby — it’s gonna help me make sure that that just happens. My esme came to you desperate and alone, and all she wanted was for you to help her. It — it would have been so easy for you to do that, but you didn’t! Instead, you betrayed her. I know that’s how it looks to you, but I was only trying to prevent — to prevent something bad from happening. Yeah, so you said. But you didn’t! You didn’t! And my little girl died all alone, fighting for her last breath! Just imagine the terror she felt, the sheer panic as she fought to keep afloat as that current pulled her under! I didn’t want that. Nobody did. Oh, how convenient that you say that now that my little girl is dead! But I will avenge her. I’ll avenge her, and I will become the mother to her son that she never got the chance to be. And, unfortunately, you will not be alive to see it. Aaah!

[ Thud ] Oh.

[ Panting ] Oh.

[ Gasps ]


There’s another problem. Just one? Spinelli planted surveillance cameras all over the warehouse, and if the fbi finds them, they’re gonna trace it to spinelli, and they’re gonna confiscate all the footage that happened tonight. Including shooters on the roof. Right. I can’t let jagger see that footage before I do. So they’re gonna detain me here probably like 48 hours. They’re not gonna detain you. You need to get a hold of dean, have him take you to spinelli’s, and get that footage. You’re trusting me?

[ Door opens ] Well, I don’t –[ Footsteps approaching ] Sonny? Yeah. I have a squad car waiting to take us to the hospital. Okay.

[ Door closes ] Dante’s en route to E.R. He’s been shot. He’s in critical condition. You’d do that for me? I’d do anything to help you, pop. But I have to admit, I’d be doing it for all of us. The whole family was affected by your diagnosis for decades. And now, thanks to aunt stella, we got a signature and a starting point. And with your son’s expertise, you should be able to find that doctor and finally know the truth. Mm-hmm. I see. It’s two against one. Talk about stacking the deck. So, um, is that a yes?

[ Laughs ] With my son by my side, I cannot lose. Hitting me over the head was a little extreme, don’t you think?

[ Chuckles ] You could have killed me, laura. You mean, before you killed me? Minor detail. You left me no choice, heather. But I’m glad you’re okay. Now there’s the laura webber that I remember. You were so sweet back in the day. It’s laura collins now. You can take her away. Just make sure they check her out for a concussion. Oh, wait. Oh! She doesn’t look well. I did hit her pretty hard. Do you think something’s really wrong with her? I doubt it. She’s probably trying to escape again. I wouldn’t believe anything that woman says or does.

[ Heather gasps ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Wait! Hold on. I-I-I can’t —

[ Gasps ] I can’t breathe.

[ Gasping and wheezing ] So, can I be a little bit nosy here? And please, please, please tell me just to mind my own business and butt out if it’s too much. But, uh, you know, since you and dante seem to be so happy together, spending so much time together, I don’t know, any chance you’re thinking of making it official? Things are going great between dante and I, but I think we like things the way they are right now. Okay, okay. Fair enough. You can’t blame a mother for trying, though, right? True.

[ Laughs ]

[ Knock on door ] Yeah. Hi.Oh, you’re a little late for the party, I think. What’s going on? Um, we just came from the pier. Dante’s been shot. Tell csi to tear this place apart. We need to know if there’s any others like this here. These cameras are state-of-the-art. The surveillance was obviously part of sonny and selina’s plan. I need to know what network these cameras are running on, what’s on that footage, and most importantly, who’s got it.

[ Panting ]

Cleaner: I’m sure this is a very difficult time for you, but… you really can’t be alone. Is your husband home?

Steffy: No. My husband’s not here.

Steffy: She’s gone, finn. Sheila’s dead. It was either her or me. I didn’t– I didn’t have time to think. I just– I just reacted. I– I had to survive.

Li: I can’t believe it. Sheila carter’s actually dead?

Eric: How’s steffy holding up?

Ridge: You know her. She’s strong, resilient.

Eric: No, yeah. But something like this.

Donna: Yeah, I can’t even imagine what it must have been like for steffy, to…

Eric: What an ordeal for her to have to go through. That she had to do what she had to do. Wow. Sheila carter’s finally dead.

Pathologist: Can I help you?

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, I’m deacon sharpe. I’m here to pay my respects to sheila carter.

Donna: It’s just so hard to believe.

Eric: Sheila carter’s finally out of our lives.

Ridge: The paramedics confirmed it. Sheila’s dead.

Pathologist: Since the police investigation is ongoing, the deceased’s body will remain here at the morgue.

Deacon: Right. Dr. Finnegan set this up for me. He thinks I need closure. Sheila and I were engaged to be married.

Finn: How’s hayes? Did he sleep okay?

Li: Yeah. Don’t worry about hayes. He loves spending time with grandma li.

Finn: Hm. He’s with brooke now?

Li: Yeah. Yeah, I had a meeting I couldn’t reschedule, but as soon as it’s over, I’ll go pick him up. Right now, though, I’m concerned for you. And steffy, of course. I hate that it happened the way it did. But I’m not sorry sheila’s dead.

Steffy: I, uh, I really appreciate everything. Cleaning my home and making it feel safe again.

Cleaner: Sorry you’re going through something so traumatic.

Steffy: Thanks.

[ Steffy sighs ]

Liam: Yeah, I heard.

Donna: What sheila did was– was crazy. And breaking in like that and taunting and terrorizing steffy.

Eric: Well, steffy did what she had to do. She had to stop sheila.

>>Idge: , She stopped her,: Is there anything that we can do? I mean, I’m sure steffy’s getting a lot of support. Especially from finn, but…

Ridge: Yeah, you would think that, wouldn’t you?

Eric: You saying he’s not being supportive?

Ridge: Listen, I like the kid and I respect him. But I’m confused why he’s so distraught by this woman dying.

Finn: Can we just not talk about sheila right now?

Li: Believe me, I’d like nothing more now that she’s finally out of our lives.

Finn: Well, she’s gone, mom. Okay? So just let it go.

Li: Let it go? After all that woman did? She went after steffy. Again. Intent on making sure she didn’t make it this time. Thank god steffy did. That she finally took out that sick, twisted psychopath for good. Sheila carter finally got what she deserved.

Liam: I mean, kelly’s doing great. She loves staying with me and her grandpa bill. Not that she doesn’t miss her mom and her little brother. I just think it’s probably best she stay with me for now.

Steffy: Yeah. Thank god she wasn’t here.

Liam: Yeah, I mean, I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure she never finds out about it, but news these days.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. It travels fast. I’m sure she’s gonna hear things at school.

Liam: Well, try not to think too much about that. That’s the least of your worries. Just focus on getting past this and moving on.

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right. That’s exactly what my mom said when we video chatted. It’s just strange being here. Where it happened. I mean, sheila’s blood on the floor. But thankfully, the cleaners were here to take care of it.

Liam: Yeah, I saw that. Going out to the van.

Steffy: Hm. Just so much pain, you know, and heartache. It’s all because of sheila. I just never thought it was gonna end.

Liam: Well, it has. ‘Cause she’s dead. And she’s never gonna hurt anyone you care about ever again. I– I know that what you’ve just been through is traumatic. But please, steffy, please never doubt that you did the right thing. Please never doubt that you did exactly what you should’ve done. By killing her.

Deacon: It’s so cold in here. Um… look, I probably, uh, know the answer to this, but I’m gonna ask anyway. Has anyone else been here to see her? Anyone? God, I miss her so much. I’m probably the only one. I’m sorry I don’t even know why I’m saying this to you.

Pathologist: Sometimes it’s easier to open up to someone you don’t know. Would you like to see her now?

Deacon: Yeah.

Pathologist: I’ll give you a moment alone.

Deacon: Sheila, what the hell happened?

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Donna: Well, as horrible as sheila was, I mean she did give birth to finn.

Ridge: Yes, she did. And then she shot him and steffy in cold blood and left them in an alley to die. Not exactly mother of the year material.

Eric: No. But finn grew up never knowing who his birth mother was.

Ridge: Well, he knows who she was now. The woman who tried to kill his wife, twice. And you know what? Finn should be there for steffy right now and I don’t think he is.

Li: Karma’s a bitch. Sheila’s hurt so many people, it’s about time justice finally caught up with her. Quite frankly, I was beginning to think it never would. That her reign of terror will go on and on, but no more. Someone finally stopped her. Steffy finally stopped her. Which seems almost fitting. Sheila dying at your wife’s hands, given what sheila did behind that restaurant. Pointing a gun at steffy, then pulling the trigger, leaving her and you both for dead. But that’s who sheila was. Heartless, soulless, vile.

Finn: Okay, can you just stop? Stop, mom. Sheila was a person, a human being, and now she’s dead. My birth mother is dead.

Liam: Steffy, you did what anyone in your position would and should have done. It’s black and white. You defended yourself. The woman wanted you dead, right? She probably thought that she’d have finn and hayes all to herself if you were out of the picture.

Steffy: Believe me, I know that, liam. But I– I took a life. I mean, that’s not who I am.

Liam: What if kelly were here? She could’ve been hurt. She could’ve been kidnapped. Or worse. Every single one of you was in jeopardy as long as sheila was alive and breathing. And because of you, none of us ever have to worry about her again.

Deacon: Sheila carter. I– I don’t understand this. Sheila, I– I saw you change. I saw it with my own eyes. I just don’t understand. How did this happen?

Not flossing well?

Deacon: You’re so peaceful. Which is almost funny because that’s about the last word I’d ever use to describe you. I never told you this, but i used to always think of you like a beautiful rainstorm. Unpredictable, never boring. One minute, chaotic and relentless, and the next, exhilarating and intoxicating. I’ve always, um, felt like I was alone, even in a room full of people. I just got used to not needing anybody. And then I met– then I met you. And I needed you. And I didn’t give a damn what anyone thought. Because I knew what I was supposed to do next. I was gonna stand by you, no matter what. But now, I– I don’t know what to do next. I’m never gonna forget you. You are always gonna be a part of me, sheila. Do you think I could see her face? Rest in peace, beautiful girl.

Donna: Wait, what do you mean finn isn’t with steffy?

Eric: What is this, ridge? What’s going on?

Ridge: Well, finn can’t come to terms with the fact that his wife had to defend herself and kill his birth mother. He should be with steffy right now. And he’s not.

Li: I am your mother, finn. Not sheila.

Finn: Of course you are. But I just–

Li: No buts. What’s– what’s going on with you? If you’re reacting this way with me, I can only imagine what steffy’s thinking.

Liam: Well, uh, yeah. I shouldn’t stay long. I imagine finn will be home soon and I don’t wanna cause any tension. That’s probably the last thing you need right now, so. Steffy?

Steffy: Yeah. Finn will be home soon, won’t he?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know if and when my husband’s coming home.

Liam: What are you talking about?

Steffy: God. Finn is struggling with sheila’s death. He, um… he says that I’m responsible.

Liam: Oh, really? Finn is struggling? He’s struggling? Such a struggle for him. I don’t care. That is ridiculous. I don’t care that she’s his birth mother. She tried to kill you. You were defending yourself and his entire focus right now should be on you and the kids. How does he not understand that?

Steffy: No, no. I mean, he does. I mean, this whole… god. This whole situation is really disturbing and it’s emotionally challenging. Like, I didn’t ask for any of this. I didn’t want sheila in here. But she gave me no choice. I had to grab a knife. I had to protect myself.

Liam: Yes. Exactly. You had to do what you had to do to survive. You’re not doing anything wrong. You didn’t do anything wrong. You’re not this horrible human being that was sheila. This is the whole point. That’s who she was. Everybody understands that. Everybody gets that. So, it’s kind of beyond me why finn doesn’T. You know what else is beyond me? That he isn’t here right now. Because I’m here. I’m here for whatever you want, whenever you want it. My love and support is free.

Steffy: Thank you. Thank you for just listening to me and being here.

Li: Steffy is your wife. She needs you now more than ever.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: I’m thinking burgers after this. What do you say?

Chelsea: Well, I– I don’t know. I think, um, I think pizza would be a better bet, right?

Adam: Okay. Well, we got one vote for pizza and one for burgers.

Billy: I like both. I abstain.

Chelsea: So, I guess we need a tie breaker.

Adam: Well, clearly it’s gonna come up to the big man. But before you decide, let me just say, burgers comes with milkshakes for dessert.

Chelsea: This is true. But cupcakes follow pizza. So, that’s a solid choice.

Connor: Am I in trouble?

Adam: What?

Billy: Of course not.

Chelsea: Why would you think that, sweetheart?

Connor: You’re all here at the same time. So, if I’m not in trouble, then maybe you’re here because something’s really wrong with me.

Christine: Well, you were right. I am so glad I made that call. So thanks for the advice.

Nina: Oh, no. Well, thanks for taking it. You know, the only reason danny’s all turned around right now is because phyllis is being phyllis. You just need to sit down with him and talk to him and make him see what’s at stake.

Christine: I mean, I don’t wanna give up on danny. I know this is right for both of us, but for him to say that it’s a competition between the two of us. I mean, I– I have to make it clear to him and obvious that phyllis is the one playing games.

Nina: Yeah, but that’s an intellectual argument. You know, what matters is the heart, the deep emotions, the love, the longing, even the fear and loss. If you don’t force danny’s hand and make him realize that he’s pushing you away, he’s about to lose you for good. This could go on for god knows how long.

Christine: No, no. We don’t have god knows how long. I don’t wanna waste any more of my life because phyllis is a vulture and danny’s too nice.

Nina: Well, this is my point. Good. So, hopefully he’ll call soon. And listen when he does–

Christine: I– I know. Don’t mention phyllis.

Nina: Okay, good. Just focus on the two of you and no one else.

Christine: Well, let’s just hope she hasn’t gotten to him first and scared him away before this reverse psychology plan has a chance to work.

Phyllis: Hey, ooh, abby. Just the person I wanna see.

Abby: Phyllis, what do you want?

Phyllis: Okay. I– I want to rent out your restaurant for the evening. Not just a restaurant, the kitchen too.

Abby: Oh, tonight? Now? Ha! No! Excuse me.

Phyllis: But… how’s that a response?

Abby: How is it not?

Phyllis: Well, we can at least have a conversation about it.

Abby: We just did.

Phyllis: But– but no, no, no, we didn’T. You– you have to let me do this.

Abby: Apparently, you don’t understand because this is my restaurant and I don’t have to do a damn thing.

Phyllis: No, no. You don’t understand. Everything in my life right now is riding on this. (Husband) rock, paper, scissors for who’s on dinner duty?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nina: Danny’s not gonna leave town without saying so, without saying goodbye to you.

Christine: I’m not so sure about that.

Nina: What are you talking about?

Christine: Look… as far as danny’s concerned, this isn’t about him and me. This is about me and phyllis. And that might be enough as it is to scare him away. Look at what happened the last time phyllis thought I was coming between them. She tried to kill me, for god’s sake. Danny doesn’t wanna go through that again, and neither do I.

Nina: [ Softly ] I know.

Christine: And if he is already scared, you know, she’s gonna blame me and–

Nina: Okay. Okay, cricket. Stop it. Just stop it.

Abby: Phyllis, I have a sold-out book of reservations, so what am I supposed to do? I’m supposed to call all of those people and tell them to make other dinner plans because you, phyllis summers, of all people has waltzed in here with some hare-brained emergency.

Phyllis: I mean, well, that won’t be effective, of course.

Abby: You think?

Phyllis: You know what, abby, I believe in you. I know you can think of something. You could say, you know, uh, “our kitchen caught fire.” Or, “hey, everyone, our fridge blew up, you know, and all our food is spoiled.” Or, “our entire staff came down with, um, the bird flu or something like that.”

Abby: Yeah. Yeah, phyllis, that’s exactly what I should do. I should tell everyone that our– our kitchen equipment is unsafe and that you could potentially get food poisoning here. Yeah. You have a real business sense.

Phyllis: Okay. I will financially make this worth your while.

Abby: Which is exactly what you should tell the other restaurants in town when you give them your crazy idea. I’m sure they would be happy to take your money.

Phyllis: I don’t want any other restaurant. I want this restaurant, abby. I want yours. That should flatter you enough to do me this favor.

Chelsea: Sweetheart, the reason we’re here is we love you and we know you’ve been having a hard time, so we just wanna figure out why and how we can help you.

Connor: The way you got help?

Chelsea: Yeah. I mean, everybody needs help every once in a while for something, right?

Adam: Absolutely.

Chelsea: And that’s nothing to be frightened about.

Adam: Yes. Believe it or not, your mom and I don’t know everything. I know, but it is true. That is why we arranged for you to see a specialist.

Connor: What’s she gonna do? Give me a bunch of tests or something?

Adam: All she’s gonna do, she’s gonna ask you some questions. And all you have to do is answer them truthfully.

Connor: What kind of questions?

Billy: She’s just gonna ask you about, you know, what you’re thinking, how you feeling. Get you to open up a little bit so you can feel like yourself. Think about it this way, you know, the more she knows, the more she can help you figure out how to make it easier on yourself.

Alcott: Hello, connor. I’m so happy to meet you. I’m dr. Alcott. Why don’t we go talk for a bit? Oh, I think just one of your parents will come in right now. How about mom? That work for you?

Adam: Are you sure? Because I think maybe–

[ Adam sighs ] No, that makes sense. I’ll be right here buddy.

Chelsea: We got this.

Billy: Maybe we should check and see if dr. Alcott has a spare hour when she’s done with connor.

Adam: What the hell is that supposed to mean, billy?

Billy: You gotta get a handle on yourself, adam. Do you honestly think connor can’t pick up on your attitude? Breathing claritin clear is like…

Alcott: Just to tell you a little about myself, I got my phd in psychology at northwestern university in evanston, illinois. I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy and I’ve been practicing for 31 years. Which is a long way of saying I’ve been doing this a long time and I’ve met a lot of wonderful kids. Connor, I want you to know there’s nothing you can say that I won’t understand. So, I’d like to get started by asking you a few questions. That okay?

Chelsea: Remember what we talked about. Everything’s gonna be fine, I promise.

Adam: Who are you trying to impress, billy? Hm? The doctor? Connor? ‘Cause you’re not his parent. You don’t have any say in this.

Billy: Lighten up. Just relieve some of the tension, okay? Maybe put a smile on the kid’s face so he’s not walking in there thinking it’s all doom and gloom.

Adam: You’re here for chelsea. I’m here from my son.

Billy: Yeah. And he’s nervous. He’s afraid. And you sitting there all wound up ’cause I’m here is not helping.

Adam: So in other words, you think you know better than me what he thinks and how he feels? Is that what you’re saying, billy?

Billy: No, it’s not what I’m saying. In fact, it’s exact opposite of that. ‘Cause I can be a little bit more objective. ‘Cause as much as I care about connor, he’s not my son. So, I can pick up on a few things that you’re too upset to register.

Adam: Well, thank you for your insights… dr. Abbott.

Billy: I’m not attacking you, okay? I am 100% here to support connor. And that puts us on the same team, whether you like that or not. I know this can’t be easy on you, all right? If it were johnny and katie in there, I honestly, I don’t know how I would feel. I really don’T.

Adam: The kid hasn’t had a break in his entire life, okay? I was there, I wasn’t there, finding out about johnny, watching what his mom went through, and now this? I mean, I look at him and I see how perfect he is. I– I— I didn’t know what was happening. I didn’t know what he was going through.

Billy: But he’s here now. You put him in a situation to be surrounded by people that know how to handle this, okay? That’s a good thing.

Adam: Okay. So then, what if the school’s suspicions are right? And what if he does have ocd?

Billy: Then, you deal with it the way that you would deal with any other diagnosis. You find the right specialist, you get the right treatment, and you move forward.

Abby: Society is the only restaurant that you want? That must mean all the other restaurants in town turned you down. Am I right?

Phyllis: You know, abby, I thought we got past the point of hating each other. I really did.

Abby: Phyllis, this is nothing personal. It’s business pure and simple.

Phyllis: No, no, it’s not. Because if anybody else in this town, anyone you didn’t despise asked you for this, you would absolutely say yes.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Okay. Maybe I can work something out.

Phyllis: Really?

Abby: Later in the week.

Phyllis: No, no, no, no. It has to be tonight.

Nina: Cricket, you’re letting phyllis drive this thing. This whole fear that danny has about this being a competition between you two and that he’s essentially beside the point.

Christine: Which is ridiculous.

Nina: Yes, it is. It’s ridiculous. So put a stop to it. Just forget about phyllis. Remove her from the equation. Put her out of your mind and concentrate on what you and danny deserve.

Christine: Yeah, believe me. I would love nothing more.

Nina: This is your time. You two have finally found your way back to one another after all of these years.

Christine: Right? It almost makes you start believing in fate again.

Nina: No, not almost. Look, you have to stop inviting phyllis to become part of this scenario. I mean, really, phyllis?

Christine: How could you– inviting? What?

Nina: Well, maybe you’re not opening the door to her, but as soon as she’s there, you are right back at it. You’re lowering yourself to her level.

Christine: I admit she brings out the worst in me.

Nina: Well, she can try, but you let her. That’s a lot of power to hand over to a narcissistic drama queen.

Christine: A narcissistic drama queen who should be in jail.

Nina: I know. She should be in jail. We all know that. But she’s not. Get over it. Cricket, come on. You’re better than this. You’re better than her. You gotta start acting like it. I guarantee danny is not gonna stop seeing this as some game that you’re playing until you stop playing it. Stop dragging her into it.

Danny: Hey.

Christine: Hi.

Danny: Hi.

Christine: Did you get my message?

Danny: Yeah. Um, I– I’m really sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I’ve just been really swamped scheduling some added tour dates.

Christine: Added tour dates?

Danny: Yeah. I’ve moved up the second half of my concert tour, and so I’ll be, um, hitting the road in a couple weeks.

Christine: So just like that, you’re– you’re leaving? Are you really ready to give up on us? You know that feeling of having to re-wash dishes

Nina: I’ll leave you to it. I’ll see you.

Danny: Yeah.

Nina: I’ll call you.

Danny: Take care.

Christine: She’s right. We need to talk alone. Let’s go out here.

Danny: Of course. Yeah.

Christine: I, um, I guess I was afraid that you didn’t call me back because you were surprised to hear from me and you didn’t know what to say.

Danny: Well, um, actually, I… I wasn’t surprised. In fact, I kinda knew you’d call.

Christine: You did?

Danny: Yeah.

Christine: Look, I– I know that you are tired of this constant back-and-forth battle between phyllis and me.

Danny: [ Chuckles ] Tired is an understatement. I am exhausted.

Christine: I’m exhausted too. In fact, I– I’m so exhausted that I’ve– I’ve had enough.

Danny: What does that mean exactly?

Christine: The fact that phyllis is even part of our conversation, it just, it makes me sad. I– it doesn’t even make– it– it makes me furious. What the hell is wrong with you?

Danny: Wait, I–

Christine: Danny, danny, just when I thought that we were almost there, that we were getting back to the place that we both wanted to, you essentially let phyllis come between us. I mean, she can try, but you let her get to you. And if that’s the case, I… I don’t even know how I’m supposed to think about a future between us.

Abby: So, it has to be tonight. What’s so special about tonight? Hm? Who’s the unlucky prey?

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, that’s right. That’s me all over the place. This evil, relentless predator. That’s who I am.

Abby: Oh my gosh, phyllis. I was kidding. Sort of.

Phyllis: You know what? Even if you weren’t, it doesn’t matter. I would never tell you who my prey is because you would just misinterpret it and mock me, make fun of me like everybody else in this town. You know what? Forget it. I rescind my request.

Abby: Oh, great. I’ve already forgotten about it.

Phyllis: Can I have a martini? Three olives, please.

Phyllis: Grazie.

Danny: Prego.

[ Both laugh ]

Phyllis: All right. Mm. Oh, my goodness. That’s incredible. It’s so good. It’s better than I could have ever thought possible. How can I thank you?

Danny: By letting me cook this way for you for the rest of our lives.

Connor: I like to sit in the back.

Alcott: What’s better about sitting in the back?

Connor: Because then no one’s looking at me.

Alcott: You don’t like anyone looking at you?

Connor: No.

Alcott: So, tell me about your favorite part of the day.

Connor: I guess I don’t have one.

Alcott: There’s nothing about school you like?

Connor: Not anymore. I used to like some of it, but it’s a lot harder lately.

Alcott: Why do you think that is connor?

Connor: I don’t know. Just can’t concentrate anymore.

Alcott: Well, that’s interesting. You used to be able to concentrate and now you can’T. Did something change and that keeps you from being able to concentrate?

Connor: It’s the thoughts. Scary ones. All day long and out of nowhere, no matter what teacher’s talking or if I’m in the middle of practice, they keep coming and won’t go away.

Alcott: Like what, connor? Would you be willing to share what some of those scary thoughts are with me?

Adam: When you said earlier that everyone gets help?

Billy: Yeah?

Adam: Did you, you know, for the, uh, gambling addiction?

Billy: I did, off and on. A little more off than on. You know, I tried to white knuckle my way through it because, you know, I’m billy abbott and I gotta be stronger than some stupid self-destructive compulsion. Looking back on that, that was stupid and self-destructive.

Adam: Huh. So in general, you would say that therapy worked?

Billy: Yeah, I would. There was one time that it actually made me crack.

Adam: What do you mean crack? You had a breakdown?

Billy: Maybe a little too much information, so just forget I said that.

Adam: Hey. Kinda too late for that. I mean, you just backed yourself into a corner there.

Billy: Adam, uh, let’s not worry about my situation, okay? Let’s focus on connor here because I think it’s best I try and ease your mind so you can be calm and connect with your son when he walks outta here. ‘Cause the last thing he needs is a freaked out father.

Adam: And the last thing that you need is to expose any more of your weaknesses to a man that you often see as an enemy.

Febreze

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Billy: Believe me, adam, I have zero interest in hiding myself from you or anyone else. Who I am, who I am not, what I have done, the things that I have been through, you name it, I own it.

Adam: Well, that’s good to know.

Billy: Yeah. I had a breakdown. And I was in the throes of it when I tried to run you down with that car a few years ago.

[ Adam scoffs ]

Adam: Yeah. Yeah, that happened. Thank god for kevin and chloe or I’d be dead right now.

Billy: If I never said this to you before, I will regret that for the rest of my life. And I agree. Thank god for kevin and chloe. They didn’t only save your life, they saved mine as well. I got into therapy right after that and I have been better and stronger ever since.

Adam: Well, I’m glad to hear that, billy. I really am.

Billy: Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have the feeling that you’ve reached out for help from a few professionals over the years. Is that right?

Adam: Yes. Yeah, I have.

Alcott: What are some of these scary thoughts that keep barging into your mind?

Connor: Well, like when I eat, I can be really hungry, but then I get scared the food might make me sick.

Alcott: Is that why you don’t eat lunch sometimes?

Connor: It’s not just food either. You can get sick from other things too.

Alcott: Like what?

Connor: Like everything. There are germs everywhere. And germs can make you really, really sick.

Alcott: Have you ever gotten really, really sick?

Connor: No, but that’s because I wash my hands all the time to get the germs off of them.

Alcott: Sounds like a good idea to me. So thoughts of getting sick keeps scaring you. Anything else?

Connor: Lots of things all the time.

Alcott: I’d love to hear what they are if you’d like to tell me.

Connor: The kids are talking about me. The– they’re making fun of me and they’re going to hurt me.

Alcott: Oh, connor, I’m so sorry. I’m sure that’s not true. So, of all these scary thoughts you keep having, what are the scariest ones of all?

Connor: You mean the ones that wake me up in the middle of the night and like, can’t go back to sleep?

Alcott: Exactly. Will you tell me what they are?

Chelsea: It’s okay, sweetheart. You’re doing great. What are the scariest thoughts of all?

[ Connor sighs ]

Connor: That something horrible will happen to my mom and dad and it’ll be all my fault.

Danny: If I’ve ever given you the impression ever that she has taken priority over you, then I am sorry. But– but no. Never. Yes, I– I– I see that she’s changed somewhat and– and I’m supporting daniel and– and I’m supporting her. But she’s taking this and she’s running with it and she’s turned this into a huge competition.

Christine: Which is what I’ve said all along.

Danny: And you were right. I didn’t shut the door in her face. But, I mean, this is on you too. You know, you have been more than willing to engage in this battle with phyllis. This is about beating phyllis and then whoever wins, you get the door prize. Me. And I just come too far in my life to know that I do not wanna settle, and I am not going to get sucked in by anything that’s not real.

Christine: Okay.

Danny: You understand?

Christine: Yeah. Well, guess what? I have never thought of you as a door prize, and I never will. You’re the man I’m falling back in love with. And I believe with all my heart that if you just shut out phyllis’s noise just for a second, you would see that you’re falling back in love with me too.

Danny: I was such a fool to even think that there was a future with christine. My future and my destiny is right here in your arms where I belong.

Phyllis: And I belong right here with you in your arms. That’s the truth. I’m so happy you finally realized it.

Abby: Good. You’re still here. Bipolar 1, I got help to push back.

Phyllis: Yes, I am still here. The humble petitioner throwing herself on your mercy.

Abby: Can you please stop, phyllis?

Phyllis: Yes, I can.

Abby: Okay. Here is what I am willing to do. I looked at the reservations. My last reservation is at 8:30, so if that’s not too late for whatever, uh, thing you have planned, I can hand the restaurant over to you at 10:00.

Phyllis: That’s fantastic. Thank you.

Abby: But you have to pay my staff double time.

Phyllis: No, no, no, no. I– I don’t need your staff. Um, my prey, as you call it, um, he’s gonna bring the food, I’m gonna bring the drinks.

Abby: Do you honestly think I’m gonna leave you here alone in my restaurant?

Phyllis: Well, I’m not gonna rob you.

Abby: I don’t know what you’re gonna do. Besides, someone has to close.

Phyllis: Fine. A double pay for your staff.

Abby: And don’t make a mess. No one’s cleaning up after you.

Phyllis: Okay. Hey, abby. I just wanna say thank you. Really. You have– you have no idea what it means to me that you changed your mind.

Abby: You’re welcome… I think. Enjoy.

[ Phone rings ]

[ Danny sighs ]

Danny: I’m sorry.

Christine: What’s wrong?

[ Christine groans ] You’ve gotta be joking.

Danny: I– I should have turned the phone off.

Christine: She just doesn’t give up, does she? And what’s this? Um, phyllis can’t wait for what?

Alcott: And when these scary thoughts start invading your mind, what do you do to try to keep them away?

Connor: Sometimes, I count to drown it out. Counting calms me down, but it can only be certain numbers.

Alcott: Why is that?

Connor: Those numbers make it so bad things won’t happen. That’s why I hate math. I have to deal with numbers that aren’t lucky.

Alcott: I can see how that would be hard for you. What are your luckiest numbers?

Connor: Seven. And– and numbers that can be divided by seven, like 14, 28, 70, numbers like that. Oh, you know what else helps me keep the scary thoughts away? Straightening up my room. I do that a lot. My closet too.

Alcott: I see. It’s important for you to keep things in order.

Connor: It’s like the numbers. If everything is exactly right, then nothing can go wrong. It gets rid of germs, which is a bonus too.

Alcott: Thank you so much for talking to me, connor, and letting me get to know you. You’ve been very helpful.

Connor: That’s good, right?

Alcott: It is. And outside, uh, in the waiting room is your father and your mom’s friend?

Connor: Yeah, billy. He’s a good guy. He likes me and I can trust him.

Alcott: I’m glad to hear that. Would you mind waiting outside with him for a while I talk to your parents? It’s nothing bad. Just to get some more information from them.

Adam: That, uh, expose that you published about me a few years ago, you know, “the making of a monster?”

Billy: Yeah. Not my finest moment.

Adam: Oh, well, I probably should thank you for that.

Billy: No. Please don’t do that.

Adam: No, I mean it. When I learned that I had been suppressing the fact that I– I killed a man when I was 11 years old, I got into therapy myself.

Billy: And did it help?

Adam: Mm-hmm. I managed to expose some, um, past traumas that I didn’t realize were still driving me.

Billy: I think we all assume that we can handle the psychological issues that were dealing with, but the truth is, we all need help at some time or another.

 

Billy: So, how’d it go?

Connor: Pretty good, I guess. Better than I thought it’d be.

Billy: That’s good. What’d you think about dr. Alcott? Did you like her?

Connor: She was nice. She asked me about the things that bother me and scare me. She didn’t act like I was a freak or something.

Billy: Well, you’re not a freak or something, but that’s good. Sounds like you were comfortable with her.

Connor: I was. And you wanna know what else I liked about her?

Billy: What’s that?

Connor: She made it okay to talk. Like I was safe.

Billy: You know, she could only do that because you were brave and honest. I’m really proud of you. Give me some.

Alcott: For a child to come in and relax on his first visit and to open up the way he did, that’s a child who knows on some level that he is loved and supported.

Chelsea: Yeah. I mean, we– we love him so much.

Alcott: It’s clear he’s been struggling.

Chelsea: He’s been in so much pain, adam.

Adam: So, um, were you able to get enough information to make a diagnosis?

Alcott: I was. Your son is showing all the signs of obsessive compulsive disorder. Obsessive compulsive disorder or ocd is a mental health disorder. I’ll be emailing you both a wealth of information and it’ll be a lot to take in all at once. But for now, I can say that his symptoms aren’t unusual. Invasive thoughts create anxiety and get in the way of connor’s day-to-day functioning. His fear of contamination, germs, illness are overwhelming. His need to arrange things until he feels they’re right, like the objects on my table, he put them in order. And the relief he seems to find in straightening up his room and his closet. The counting, he mentioned. The lucky and unlucky numbers.

Adam: This is what he’s been going through every day?

Chelsea: Yeah. The way he was talking, adam, it’s taking up every waking moment. I mean, it’s no wonder he doesn’t wanna participate in sports and– and he can’t focus in class. I mean, things have been awful for him.

[ Chelsea sniffling ]

Adam: Um, what causes ocd? I mean, is it, um, is it genetic?

Alcott: There are no definitive answers to what causes it. Genetics, neurotransmitters, the environment, all possibilities. But it’s not productive to look for blame, especially self-blame. What’s important is you’re taking the steps that connor needs so he can learn to manage the illness.

Adam: Wait a minute. Manage? Are you saying that there is no cure for this?

Chelsea: No, adam, there is no cure. But we will manage it and we will make sure that connor has the tools to remain the wonderful kid that he is out of pain. And we will get those tools as well. We can’t panic or do anything that’s gonna get in the way of helping connor.

[ Connor sighs ]

Connor: What did she say? Am I really sick?

Adam: You know what? Why don’t we go for those burgers and we will talk there.

Connor: Please, just tell me.

Chelsea: Sweetie, you have something called obsessive compulsive disorder.

Connor: Do people die from that?

Chelsea: No, no.

Adam: And we would never let that happen. And it can be treated. Okay?

Chelsea: Yeah, the way I treat my depression. So we’re gonna learn all about it. You, me and your dad, and, the doctors are gonna help us figure it out.

Connor: Am I going to be okay?

Adam: Yes.

Chelsea: Yes, you are. I promise you.

Danny: You’re right. Phyllis won’t give up unless I stop her.

Christine: You know, not too long ago, your exact words to me were, “I want you.” Remember?

Danny: Yes, absolutely.

Christine: Okay. And did you mean that or was that just something you said in the heat of the moment and now you regret it?

Danny: No. No. No. I meant it from the bottom of my heart.


Judah: All kids have worries. It’s part of growing up.

Melissa: But worries and anxiety can turn into something more.

Mark: And when that happens, it’s time to get help.

Melissa: Talk to your doctor. Treatment looks different for every child.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

cyrus. Thank you for coming. How could I not? This is the first time you’ve invited me to your home. Well, you usually take it upon yourself to just show up, don’t you? Well… uh, do I actually get to come inside, or is the invitation only good for the doorway? Please come in. Thank you. And what precipitated this step forward in our relationship? Well, uh, kevin is with a patient tonight at the hospital, and, uh, ace is sick with a cold, so I couldn’t leave him alone. Any problems? None so far. Alright. Let’s get this over with. Daughter-in-law! Good to see you again! And so soon. So this is where you’ve been hiding. I’m not hiding. I just didn’t want to get coerced into pinning a tail on a donkey. Coerced by a 10-year-old. Losing your edge. Didn’t want you to miss out. Thank you. And, uh, what else do you want? You certainly didn’t seek me out because of our shared love of buttercream. Something happened with lucy. What’d she do now? She asked me to work against you so she can regain control of deception. And why would she think you’d go along with that? Because lucy knows something you don’T. Our arrangements can continue as before. I conduct my operations discreetly, abiding by the agreed-upon boundaries and under your protection… in exchange for which you’ll receive a 10% cut of all profits. The savoy is off limits. If I can get a separate accommodation from curtis ashford… the savoy is off limits. I didn’t realize this negotiation would be so realistic. Alright. You know what? Since we’re here, let’s get down to business. -Nobody move! -Hands in the air! Fbi! Federal agents! Nobody move! Hands where we can see ’em. Looks like we’re late to the party. Man: We missed our window. Ah… I can still get the shot.


I haven’t been completely honest with you. Not liking the sound of this, but go on. I went to maxie and proposed a way to get you out of deception. Do tell. The idea was to convince you that I loved running deception so much that eventually you would take a step back and give me control of deception, including your voting shares, and then I would turn around and give those shares back to maxie.

Brava. That is a scheme worthy of a quartermaine. Treachery. Deceit. Betrayal. You have surpassed my expectations. You might live up to your potential yet. Well, I learn from the best. Look, you only got control of deception because you blackmailed me into bringing you the — the development notes of the deceptor. Lucy stole blair cramer’s idea. She committed intellectual property theft. She brought this on herself. Who cares what lucy did?! You, my own grandmother, forced me to betray my friends! And I hate the fact that I did what you wanted, especially to maxie. Oh, you were just gritting your teeth. You were enduring the time you spent with me. You were pretending to want to learn from me. And dr. Robinson! Boy, I must rate if I get the co-chief of staff to do my examination. I’m honored. There are some things that I would rather do myself than impose on my staff. Oh, I’m sorry if I’m imposing with my injuries. I’ll be outside if you need me. Oh, no. Don’t go! I could really use a friendly face right now, honey. Please stay. Only if it’ll help. Okay. I see that you’re here for an mri and you’re experiencing some hip pain? Ohh! That is correct. I-I am in absolute agony. And I have been, ever since I was attacked and brutalized by those pentonville guards. Are you kidding me? They were trying to calm you down. If anything, it was your resistance that caused your injury. Wait. I was confronting a man that was responsible for my daughter’s death. It was — okay. We need to examine this patient. Do you mind just go ahead and waiting outside for us? Thank you. Sure. I’ll be right outside. Really appreciate that, doctor. It is really nice to be treated like a human being for a change. Okay. Tell us what’s going on. You said that you’re, um — you’re having some hip pain that’s bothering you? Well, it’s just that every time I put weight on my right hip, there’s terrible pain. I went over your scans from the infirmary, and it shows nothing. But I do see you had a hip replacement, what, 20 years ago? Well, yeah. Skiing accident. I was young, fit, wild and free. I had a little run-in with a mogul. And you’re also complaining of a rash that you have on your lower back. Now, how long have you had that? Well, it actually comes and goes. The sheets in pentonville are so rough, and I-I have really delicate skin. Like, these cuffs are really chafing my wrist right now, and it’s putting me in a very strange position, which hurts my hip. Hm. So you think maybe that we could just take the cuff off, you know, for now? Come sit down. Please. I just wanted to talk to you about, uh, what happened at pentonville a few days ago. Mm. I mean, of course, anna has briefed me already on the conversation that you had with the gun dealer, o’neill. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And first of all, I want you to know that I’m very grateful to you that you were willing to go through with our plan. Well, I did it for you. Uh, but as you no doubt heard, we were interrupted before I was able to get any significant information. I can tell you the guy is terrified of some figure he knows only as “stone.” Why? Did he say? Well, this guy has managed to convince the world that he’s dead. Uh-huh. I understand your microphone “malfunctions” in — in the conversation with o’neill. Yes. I was attacked by heather webber. She’s got it in her head that I’m somehow responsible for her daughter esme’s death. Uh-huh. And so that’s how the microphone got damaged in the struggle? How else? You know, I don’t know. I’m just very frustrated that we were not able to get your complete conversation with o’neill on record. So, I mean, would you mind terribly just taking me through it step by step? Do you think I left something out? You tell me. What’s the problem, agent cates? We’re investigating allegations of racketeering and rico violations. This is my warehouse. You’ll find nothing amiss. Well, then I’ll take that as permission to conduct a search. While we wait for a team to arrive, you want to tell me the nature of your meeting tonight? Mr. Corinthos and I are avid gamblers. We’re planning a poker game. Strictly legal, of course. You a poker fan, ava? Texas hold ’em. Play whenever I can. Seems kind of unusual to bring a cadre of bodyguards to a warehouse for a card game. Detectives storm my private residence without any provocation.

[ Indistinct conversation ]


I actually enjoy working with you. It’s surprisingly fun. You’re too kind. Grandmother, I am being completely sincere. You are incredibly smart and freakishly shrewd. Oh. Don’t stop now. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor. I am learning so much. And w-while I don’t believe that lucy has committed intellectual property theft, I do agree that lucy’s unprofessional whims have hurt the company. Deception deserves better. And what would that look like? Would it be me? You? Us? I’m not gonna lie. Music is my passion. Why can’t you just accept that? Oh, please. You cling to music like it’s some tatty security blanket. Why will you not allow yourself to do other things? What, like running a cosmetics company? You just said that you enjoy, you’re having fun at deception, and you happen to have the quartermaine head for business. You are not listening to me. This isn’t my dream job! I just can’t picture myself running deception in the long term. Things need to change. Alright. I have a proposition for you. You’re still suspicious of me, after I went against my better judgment and did what you asked. I appreciate the effort you made. Truly. I do. But the fact that your microphone was compromised at that crucial point — that gave everyone pause. Do you think I planned for that lunatic heather webber to attack me? Ugh! I swear on my mother’s life that I accurately and completely relayed everything that gun dealer said. You said you wanted to believe me. That meant everything to me. Why won’t you let yourself?

[ Ace crying ] I’ve got to get the baby.

[ Sighs ] God. I’m gonna check your vitals, ms. Webber. But — but my cuffs. It’s standard procedure for a prisoner to be in handcuffs at all times when they’re at the hospital. My hip is in so much pain. I can’t even walk! I couldn’t possibly escape. Elizabeth: You’ll be going for your mri soon. When you get back, we’ll ask the guard if he can help you get into a more comfortable position.

[ Groans ]

[ Beeping ] Well, you do have a low-grade fever. 99.5. See? I’m sick! And I’m still in major pain. I’m gonna call radiology right now and have them get you in right away.

[ Groans ]

[ Door closes ] Excuse me. That woman was not mistreated by the guards. If her hip is bad, she did it to herself. We’re well aware of heather’s duplicity. We weren’t taken by her bid for sympathy. This whole trip was a waste of time. Everyone is entitled to proper medical care, and so now that ms. Webber is a patient of this hospital, that’s exactly what she’s gonna get. Excuse me. Yes, this is dr. Robinson. I’m sending over a patient. She’s a transfer from pentonville. Can I get an mri of the pelvic region with contrast, please? Mm-hmm. Heather webber. And I need her seen and evaluated A.S.A.P. Thank you. The sooner we get heather to pentonville, the better for everyone. You got a casino in puerto rico, don’t you, sonny? You can fly down there any time you want. Why would you waste your time in this grubby warehouse? I object to your characterization of my property. I’m sure the commissioner’s not trying to be rude. She’s just embarrassed. Am I? Sonny: This raid was jagger’s idea, and he talked you into kicking those doors down, guns blazing. And what did you find? Absolutely nothing!

[ Gunshot ]


[ Indistinct shouting ] -Cover! -Quick! Get under! -Above! -Skylight on the roof. Man: On the roof! You ruined my shot! Let’s go. He’s pinned down. I can still get him. They know the shot came from the roof. Cover’s blown. No, no. Just leave it. Let’s go. Anybody hit? -No casualties here. -All clear on our side. Selina: I’m unharmed. Sonny? We’re good. Okay. They could still be up there. Chase and i will check it out. No, no. Everyone shelter in place. Anna? Sniper rifle. Looks like the position is up in the skylight. They could be waiting for one of us to break cover. No. You know what, anna? We can make it. Shooter can’t see us. Go. Proposition. What do you have in mind? You and I continue at deception. We build it into a cosmetics empire. Wow. Shocker. I’m not done. You’re a creative, right? Ceos are creative. They create a vision for their company, and they organize all the moving parts to see that vision come to life. It’s a different kind of art. Sorry, grandmother. It’s not the kind of art that inspires me. How do you know that unless you try? I want you to experience the thrill of seeing your vision succeed. And when you do… if you still want out, you may leave with my blessing, and I will sell my stock back to maxie and sasha. Lucy gets nothing. Well, I agree with you there. After the way lucy treated you, she does not deserve control of deception. Just another example of how you and I see eye to eye. I’ll sweeten the deal. You can still produce artists on the side, although I think you’re gonna be too busy and too invested and having fun. Do we have a deal? I don’t get it. Why is it so important to you that I run deception? Because it’s something we can do together. You’re a very smart woman. You can do anything you put your mind to. You remind me of myself. And believe it or not, I-I like to have fun. And, brook lynn quartermaine, you are exasperatingly fun. And you’re the future of this family. They’re ready for heather in radiology. Okay.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Ace crying ] Oh, elizabeth! Thank god you’re here. Is everything okay? I’m not sure. Ace is running a temperature of 104. Hey. I mean, he’s had a cold for the past few days. He was just coughing and sneezing. But tonight all of his symptoms got a lot worse and he got really fretful. And as you can see, he’s just burning up. Yeah. Yes. Did you feel him? What is he doing here? I-I was visiting my sister, dr. Robinson. I came out of concern for my great-nephew. Yeah, anyway, um, I know babies can spike a very high temperature, but I just thought it was best to bring him in anyway. Um, is there any way that you could take a look at him? Or would you rather that I just go to E.R.? No, no, no. I-I can see him. Will you be okay with the other patient? Oh, absolutely. Okay. Is that ace?! You! You get away from my grandson! Yeah. Single shot. High-powered rifle. Okay. I want — I want units to cordon off a six-block area around the warehouse… law enforcement’s on the scene. …At 257 water street. No, there’s no casualties. Yeah. I need a csi team here to collect evidence. I’m guessing it’s safe now, huh? Well, we just gotta wait for the all-clear. When did you become so cautious? I’m not worried about myself. All clear. Where’s dante? While on the roof, we observed two suspects approximately 200 yards away, heading toward the waterfront. Detective falconeri told me to secure the scene and call for backup. He’s in pursuit of the suspects. Police! Freeze! Freeze! Do not move! Do not move. Slowly put your hands behind your head. Put your hands behind your head! Do it now! Turn around. I said turn around. Slowly.


What the hell? Jacobs. Leave him. You killed my daughter! I don’t want you anywhere near her child! Guard: Hey! Oh, god! Heather, heather. Calm down, please. You’re scaring the baby. And he’s sick. He needs to be examined. What? He’s sick? You better take care of him, laura! That’s why I’m here, heather. Wait. Is this what you wanted all along? To have ace all to yourself?! Heather, please calm down. I will sedate you. That is ridiculous. Is it?! Then why didn’t you take care of his mother like I begged you to?! Laura, I trusted you! I told you esme’s plans so that you would keep her safe! But you didn’t! And now my baby is dead! Heather, I tried to find esme. I tried, and I just — I couldn’t do it. But do you think I wanted this to happen? I lost my grandson, too. Well, at least there’s some justice. Let’s get out of here. And keep that man away from my grandson! Heather, heather. Calm down. Can you take her straight to radiology, please? And no stops, no matter what she says. Man: Yeah. Now you’re talking, doc. Let’s go. Dr. Robinson… the waiting room is right over there, and you can wait for laura and ace there. I-I’m sorry. I just wanted to inquire after your husband. How is curtis doing? Why are you staring at me? Because you like me. You just said you want to keep working with me. You just said it yourself! I meant absolutely everything I said about you. And, yes… I do like working with you, mostly. Well, we don’t have to work at deception to hang out. Oh, please. Every time we’re together, we talk about work. That can’t be true. We also talk about planning my wedding. Yes, we do. And guess what. You’re getting married. And once you are, we’re back to only having deception in common. We won’t let that happen. Really? Yes. How? Are you gonna take me up on my proposal? ‘Cause I’ve been really generous. I don’t think you can refuse. Alright. I’ll stay. Whoo! For…now. But…my terms are that we make an effort to get to know each other better. Ooh. You drive a hard bargain.

[ Both chuckle ] Well, in the effort of getting to know each other better, what is going on between you and my future father-in-law? Did you ask gregory to the wedding? Chase: There’s an abandoned rifle near the skylight. I could only do a quick search, but I couldn’t find any shell casings. Go up to the roof and wait for csi. Let them be the ones to retrieve the rifle. These guys took out of here in a hurry. Maybe they left something traceable behind. Care to lay odds that the rifle used was one stolen from the cache of the wsb? Fits the pattern. It also means the intended target is almost certainly — sonny! Yeah? Look at your coat! Is that — sonny, that’s a bullet hole. As I was saying, it means the intended target was almost certainly sonny. Looks like your trap worked. Just not the way you thought.


Mr. Renault… I’ve had a very, very long day and I am tired. I don’t wish to have small talk with you about anything, much less my husband. I-I merely wondered — what part of “stay away from me or I’ll get a restraining order” do you not understand? I’m trying to figure this out. Okay. It was five months ago. And since that time, I’ve been living my life as a respectable citizen. I guess I was hoping your feelings might have changed. I’m really trying here. I’m trying to be professional. But you really think that I’m gonna forget that you terrorized me and my daughter in our home? The gunfire. The standoff. And it certainly wasn’t five months ago when you went to ava’s gallery and you approached trina. That was an accident. I didn’t know she’d be there. I was looking for artwork. Well, what did you do when you saw her? Wh– did you leave? No, you didn’T. You stayed. And you actually tried to talk to her? Mm. Yeah. I never thought I would say this, but I agree with heather webber. I — stay away from my child! Don’t ever, ever go near trina again! Do you understand me? I will call the cops so fast, your head is gonna spin. I am truly sorry I’ve caused you this much grief and anger. I-I hope you can find some way to let go of it. You can really drop the charade. Laura’s not here. She’s not here to see this act. ‘Cause I’m not buying it. Okay. Got it. And maybe you’re right. Maybe what I did is unforgivable, but I can’t go back and change it. I — I just hope that one day you can see that I’m sincere. I… I am no longer the wretch who terrorized your family. God has changed me. And my life today is about trying to help others. You want to help? You really, really want to help? I do. Stay the hell away from my family. I think it’s safe to go back. They must have pinned the tail on that damn donkey by now. Oh, no, you don’T. We have a deal in place. And I want the tea. Not just the one in your cup. So spill. What is up with you and gregory? Gregory is taking alexis davis to your wedding. Huh. They do work together. Did you even ask him? I was planning to. I went to the invader to extend the invitation, which is when I found out that he was taking alexis. I mean, they are colleagues. They’re not a couple. Gregory said they’re friends. “Good” friends. Okay. “Friends.” Means there’s still a chance. I am not throwing myself at gregory. Well, according to chase, you don’t have to. What did chase say? Just that you joined him and finn and gregory at dinner and that he noticed that gregory was more relaxed with you than he is with most people, especially now that his als is more noticeable. He also said that he was impressed with the way that you helped gregory without making a big deal out of it. That really meant a lot. It’s not a big deal. People’s bodies change. Sometimes you can’t do things you used to be able to do, so you adapt. And you and gregory obviously have chemistry. Chase said that? Oh, please. Men are oblivious to that sort of thing, which is why you need to be direct with him! Chase? Gregory! You need to tell him that you are interested in seeing him. Put it out there, plain and simple. Okay. Units are en route. Okay. See that ms. Wu, her bodyguard, and sonny’s are taken to the station. You hold them as persons of interest. Got it. Ms. Wu, if you’ll come with me, please. It’s my policy to always cooperate with law enforcement.

[ Selina speaks mandarin ] Hey, cates. What do you got against a friendly poker game? Oh, you’re not helping anyone by stonewalling, sonny, least of all yourself. There have been multiple attempts on your life and at least one on ms. Wu’S. So, you agreed to meet here tonight in order to lure your enemy into making another attempt. So that what — so you could identify them and presumably stop them? That is not your job, sonny! That is the job of law enforcement. So far, your record has been less than stellar. What are you doing here, miss jerome? Well, I’m looking for a card game, like I said. At one point, you were the co-head of the jerome crime family, but that was almost a decade ago. You haven’t been involved in organized crime since. That we know of. Well, the fbi knows quite a bit. It’s unlikely miss jerome’s been targeted. But you have a daughter with mr. Corinthos, don’t you? And you’re currently living with him, correct? Should I call my lawyer, agent cates? Well, you can if you want, but your presence here when the shots were fired puts it completely within our purview to bring you in for an interview. Back off. Ava has nothing to do with this. She does now. Thanks to you. You said yourself sonny was the intended target here tonight, which makes him the victim. You should not be harassing sonny. You should be protecting him! We’re gonna miss the extraction.

[ Dante groans ] Just go to the pick-up spot. I’ll find another way out. Your call.

[ Gun cocks ] Watch your six.

[ Grunts ]


Hm! Thank you so much for changing ms. Webber’s position. She seems a lot more comfortable now. How was everything in radiology? She give you any trouble? No. Just back to her charming self. Well, let me know if anything changes. I’ve still got that sedative.

[ Both chuckle ] Are they keeping ace? No. No, they’re not. The, um, pediatrician on call wants to get an x-ray of his lungs so he can rule out pneumonia, but, um… elizabeth told me I should come sit here for a while because my emotional state was upsetting ace. Oh. Sit, laura. Yeah. Anyway, she’s, um… she’s holding him, and he is — he’s falling asleep in her arms. Hm. Probably reminds him of esme, right? Yeah. How are you? I’m really sorry that heather lashed out like that. I’ve certainly survived worse slings and arrows. I can brush off anything heather webber has to say about me. Ah. Yeah. Well, she is a mother who lost her child… yeah. …So she’s entitled to her grief. She might want to work on how she expresses it. Yes, of course. But, uh, I do sympathize with her loss. Yeah. [ Grunts ] Oh, dear. It’S… are you alright? Yeah. It’s just a twinge. It’S…

[ Breathes deeply ] Is that because of what sonny did? That certainly didn’t help. But, uh, t-the years have left their mark. You know, when I was a kid, I didn’t really care about risking my life or how much damage I sustained. I-I had this idea I was going to get rich and powerful on my own terms… or die trying. Because, really, what kid that age can even conceive of — of their own death, except maybe as a ultimate act of rebellion or the final scene in their own movie? Maybe that’s what happened to esme. Maybe she was so desperate to get her son back, she convinced herself that she was willing to do anything, that she was… that she was willing to die trying. Yeah. And then she did.

[Crying] And she took my spencer with her. I appreciate the compliment and the faith in my abilities. I will take what you said under consideration. Do I still remind you of someone? Oh, that. Maybe.

[ Chuckles ] But you wear your heart on your sleeve much more than I do. That’s dangerous. Well, detective harrison chase has my heart now, so it’s perfectly safe. You surprise me, miss jerome. You’re a change from sonny’s usual defenders. Well, I am simply pointing out that a crime was committed here tonight. An unknown person took a shot at sonny. And instead of trying to apprehend that shooter, you and commissioner devane here are — are questioning him like he’s done something wrong! And I could make the argument that sonny’s obstructing justice by refusing to cooperate in a criminal investigation. All I’ve done is cooperate. You’re the one who broke in here. I didn’t resist. I didn’t try to run away. All I did was listen to your stupid questions. And guess what. I got shot at! Okay. Alright. I understand that you have a history with agent cates. -That’s an understatement. -Fine. There’s no love lost. But I hope you know me well enough to believe that I bear you no ill will. Unless I were to find out that you committed something criminal. Then I would investigate you to the full extent of the law. But I’m not out to get you. In fact, far from it. I don’t want you to die. Well, we agree on one thing, then. Okay. Somebody out there is trying to kill you. And you have to have an angel on your shoulder because I have no idea how that sniper missed you from this range. But do not bet that they will miss you the next time. So why don’t you let us help you and tell us what you know?

[ Footsteps approach ] Okay. Ms. Wu, her bodyguard, and the two corinthos guards are all en route to the station. What are the charges? I’m detaining them. Persons of interest. What about your detective? And do you have an update on his pursuit of the suspects? Nothing yet. Dante hasn’t called. Alright. That’s good. You’re doing good, dante. Just keep breathing. Okay?

[Weakly] Jason… you’re gonna be okay.

[ Groans ] I got you.

[ Wheezing ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Once you’re added to the National Organ Transplant Waitlist, you may receive an organ that day. Or you may wait.

I shouldn’t read any more of this. No, darling, you shouldn’t. But it won’t matter. It doesn’t make a difference what happens, happens. Meanwhile, we’re all here for you. And we’re not going anywhere, Mama, until you get that call saying that they found your heart. Hello, everyone. Oh, hello. Of course. I’m Marlena.

Oh, hi there. It’s so good to see you. It’s so good to be home with your family. Oh, it is so good to be home.

Hello, my friend. You came. Of course I came. Marlena, I need to talk to you.

Ava? Hey.

Do you have any leads? Well, same as when we spoke this morning. Nothing concrete. But I promise you my people are working, doing everything they can to track down Tripp and Wendy. Assume you haven’t heard anything? Um, no. Nothing. Okay, well let me know if you do. I know you pretty well, Ava. I assume you’re using your connection to do everything you can to find Tripp.

And what mother wouldn’t? I’m gonna do anything I can to find my son. I get it. Just be careful. Don’t cross any lines, okay?

Goldman. It’s you.

Yes, darling. I’m still here. Well, Doug, sweetie pie, I’ve been wandering around like crazy trying to find something that will open it, a little key or

Because this is not your garden variety time capsule. I’m being careful. I know. Well, I’ll be home soon. I love you too.

Like

sand through the hourglass, so days of our lives.

I’m here. I’m happy to talk to you. Alone?

Uh, yeah, we’ll go grab some coffee, huh? We’ll be back in about 10 minutes. Okay, Mom? Mm hmm. Take your time.

Okay, I’m here. What do you want to talk about? Marlena.

I’m scared.

Okay, you know what? I will do my job, and you do yours. Alright, Commissioner? Alright, you always got your back up, don’t you Eva? Okay, you know what, Rafe? This is not the day to mess with me, okay? I am a mother whose son is missing. Okay. I was just offering helpful advice.

Okay. Look, I’m sorry. I’m sorry I snapped at you. I am just, I am on edge. Obviously. Okay. I’m sorry. It’s okay. Yeah, I’m sorry. I gotta go. It’s, uh, police business.

Coleman! AHHHHH!

You scared me to death! Well, you give as good as you get. Everett! What were you doing here at this hour? I was I was driving by and I saw a flashlight moving around in the house and I thought somebody had broken in. Nobody broke in. Thank you. That was very nice of you. It’s nice to know there are decent people in the world.

Would you mind shining your flashlight? I dropped mine and I dropped the phone. Oh, there they are. Thank you. Thank you.

I thought you were the arsonist. Come back to finish the job. Is that a possibility? After that threatening phone call that Chad got while the house was burning down, I think anything’s possible. What are you doing here? All alone at this hour?

Well, actually I’m obsessed. While the family was here checking out the damage, we found a time capsule. Little Thomas was playing in the fireplace with the poker and it just fell out. Time capsule? Yeah. Put together by my grandparents in 1966. Wow. Amazing. Have you opened it? No. That’s the problem. What do you mean?

Did you take it to a locksmith? Of course. He was no help at all. He couldn’t figure out how to open it without forcing it, which might break it and then ruin whatever is inside. You see, my grandfather, Thomas Horton, loved puzzles. And this is not the first time he challenged the family with something like this.

So I want to open it the way my grandfather intended. I get that. But what are you actually doing here? I thought if I looked around quietly by myself, checking everything, I might find a clue or some secret little key that would help me open the darn thing. You want some help? I wonder what mom wanted to talk to Marlena about.

Do you know why she wanted to see her? No, I don’t, I don’t. I’m guessing that she is Worried sick, and she’s hoping that Marlena can offer some, some comfort. You know, we’re, we are, we’re battling against time. I know. And the reality is that, uh, this is completely out of our hands. I know. Mother is our rock.

She is our core. And we just, we can’t afford to lose her, we can’t. No, dad, we won’t. We won’t.

Everyone keeps saying you’re wrong, you’re a fighter, you make it through all this,

but I’m not, I’m not feeling strong, Marlena, right now, all I’m feeling is scared because you see, I, I love my life. And my sweet family, my job, my friends, and the thought of leaving, all that.

I want you to know something. You have got a lot of years ahead of you. Okay, a lot of living to do. I want you to remember that. You know, heart recipients are living so much longer now. That can happen with you as well, and I, and I, I know we’re gonna fight very hard to find you the right donor. So it’s, it’s natural for you to feel frightened, but you can also be very strong.

So You can be scared and strong at the same time. Yes, you can. A lot of us fight battles that way all the time. Look, you have got a family who loves you and is standing by you, and I think if you, if you feel you can, let them know you’re right. Let them know what you’re going through and let them, let them comfort you.

But I’m not sure I want anyone to know what I’m going through, Marlena. Well, maybe it’s because I’m physically weak. But, much as you say, there’s still hope. I’m having a hard time clinging to that. That’s the problem. Fighting spirit. Everyone admires me for saluting me right now. My mind, it keeps fast forwarding to a future where,

For what? Where I won’t be here anymore. Not here for my husband, for my daughters, for my friends. So can you help me, Marlena? Can you help me to feel more hopeful? Can you help me to stop fast forwarding to darkness?

What’s going on? What’s the origin? You’re not going to believe it. I found our mole. Who? It’s Goldman. What? Are you serious? I just passed her on the square. She blew me off. How do you know it’s her? Because somebody tried to kill me. She allowed it to happen.

Good thing we found this lantern, huh? Oh, you found the lantern. I’m so short, when I go in the garage, I never even look at what’s on the top shelf. But you can reach it. Oh, my tippy toes. Everett, are you sure you want to spend the evening with an old lady looking for clues? I mean, there must be something exciting for a young man like you to be doing.

Oh, what do you mean? I love a good mystery. And besides, uh, curiosity is, uh, well, half the reason I became a journalist. What’s the other half? Oh, um, this may sound pretentious, but a burning desire to spread the truth. Sounds pretentious. I’ll indulge you. Thank you. Anyway, um, what a great story a time capsule discovery would make.

Yeah, well not if I can’t open it. What are we, what are we looking for? Clues? Or a wanky key? Wanky? A wanky key? If you say so. You know what’s wanky? When I look at you in this light,

You look so much like my cousin, Nick, God rest his soul. He, uh, He was a very promising young man until he lost his way. I’m sorry. What happened to him? He went over to the dark side. Sadly. Anyway. Yeah. Your family has such fascinating stories. I’d love to hear more sometime. Always a reporter, huh? I mean, this house must be Bursting with interesting tales, right?

Family histories buried in the woodwork. Secrets whispered from the walls. Scandal dripping from the eaves. Everett, I don’t enjoy the image of scandal dripping from my eaves. Okay, I’ll, uh, I’ll stop. Thank you. Let’s move on to modern times. So, what’s a story? With you and Stephanie. Do you think there’s a future there?

As you begin to feel stronger. I know you will see yourself. Is that healthy? Vibrant woman. You’ve always been the woman who Lights up every room she walks into. Oh, thank you, Marlena. Oh, you’ve given me respect and comfort. Uh, and, oh, right now I, honestly, I’m feeling a bit stronger after having taken in all you just said.

I’m so glad to hear that. Oh. Now just take this time to enjoy your loved ones. And friends. Yeah. Oh. Right, right now, in this moment anyway, I feel like that fighting spirit is winning over that fear. Thanks to you.

Someone tried to kill you here. Yes, he was disguised wearing a cervical mask. He came in not long ago. He tried to inject something in my IV bag and I fought him off. I was, I couldn’t detain him. The hitman, he ran off and then Goldman is standing right there looking shocked that I was alive and then she took off.

Obviously, she let him in. Unreal. That, that explains it. That explains why she blew me off in the square. She acts like she’s just a straight arrow, stickler for protocol. Yeah, makes her a perfect cover for a double agent. Yeah. Yeah, well thank God you’re okay. I’ll put a new guard at the door, alright?

Obviously this recent development sure puts a new spin on Xander Cook being the assassin. And maybe the guy today was the same one that shot you, came back to try and finish the job. It’s very possible. Yeah. Yeah, there’s a lot we gotta dig into. But first, we gotta find Goldman.

Speak. Is it done? He’s still alive. What? Are you kidding me? Damn, what, uh, What does he got, a guardian angel or something? What the hell happened this time? I don’t know. Maybe Tamara botched it. Maybe he chickened out. Maybe he double crossed me. I saw him run off. And then Then what? Tell me. I’ve been made.

Are you sure? I could tell by the way Harris looked at me. He knows. Well, why didn’t you take him out? A nurse walked in, but there were too many witnesses. I I had to take off.

Alright. We’re just gonna have to move up the timeline then. You know what you have to do next. What about Tripp and Wendy? They’ve seen my face. They know who I am. Well, that’s your problem, sweetheart. And I suggest you solve it. Fast.

Let me get this straight. Jada Hunter has a wedding photo of the two of you as bride and groom? Crazy, right? I’d say so. I thought I must just look like the guy. We’re like twins. Well, it does happen. Um. Adrian Kariakis and Bonnie Lockhart. Look almost identical. Two different women. Different personalities.

Only one of which is tolerable. I mean, that’s the thing. I mean, doppelgangers do exist. It is a phenomena. But Jade, she was hell bent on proving that I’m this Bobby Stein, and so she She ran my fingerprints, and um,

I, I can’t believe this, but um, yeah, they came up as a, as a match, to Bobby’s. Fingerprints don’t lie. I know. I know that. I mean, uh, that’s why it’s such a nightmare for me. I mean, granted, there are, there are gaps in my memory since the accident. I just, how could I have forgotten that much of my life? It doesn’t, it doesn’t make any sense.

No, it doesn’t. Unless you’re lying.

You know, it warms my heart how much you love my mom. I mean, to head after everything that’s happened. You losing your memory, us being kept away from her, and we both found our way back. It was a miracle. It was. And I have to say, your love for each other, you and mom’s, it really does give me hope. It reminds me that even through the darkest times, Dad, we can still find a way to push to the light.

Paulina, a person who donates their heart or other organs when they die is never ever coerced. They do that because it’s It’s their wish. And it’s a kind and enormous gesture. And in a strange way, it Let’s a part of them continue on in the world after they’ve gone. So no guilt, okay? O okay. No guilt. Oh, Marlena, you’re so good to me.

Always there for me. Well, when Lonnie didn’t know I was a mama, when I needed advice about AIDS,

He is my honor. Always has been to be there for you. Right now. I think you need to rest. Uh, yeah. Yes, I do. Oh, I feel at peace now. I think I finally know what I need to do next.

Yeah, I need you to put out a BOLO, an Officer Rebecca Goldman. Yep, that’s the Becca Goldman. Yeah, you have the description. Consider her armed and dangerous. I want her brought in immediately. Man, the rest of the force is going to be blown away when I get that call. Yeah, and now that we’ve exposed our dirty cop, this is all starting to make sense.

I mean, it’s no wonder Goldman shot Clyde’s guy in the drug bust. Obviously, she needed that drug dealer dead, otherwise he would have let us write to Clyde.

Steve.

Tell me that you’ve made some progress on that video with Kip. The waiting is killing me.

Can you call me?

Can you call me and just tell me that you found our son?

Where the hell is that coming from?

Hello?

I’m not lying. I’m not. Everything I’ve told you is all I know. I mean, my God, I would never deceive Stephanie. Or anyone, for that matter. It’s just, it’s not who I am. I’ve always tried. As far as I know, to be a, a, a decent person, you know, caring and loyal and, and hardworking.

I really hope you believe me, Julie. Because I think you’re a wonderful person, and frankly, I just, I need someone to believe me, to not, to not hate me. I don’t hate you. Why would I hate you? I will leave you, Everett.

Thank you.

You say you like Horton family stories, I’ll tell you a Horton family story. My uncle Tommy, who was my mother’s twin, went off to serve in the Korean War. Did not come home. We all assumed he was dead. Years later He appears in Salem, in the company of my Uncle Bill, and neither one of them knew that they were brothers.

This is what happened. While he was overseas, Uncle Tommy developed amnesia. He was captured, and his face was disfigured when he was a prisoner of war. Somewhere along the way he got plastic surgery after that. Looked completely different. Not to mention he had another name. Dr. Mark Brooks. Wow. But, and, how did he figure out who he really was?

Oh, um, my grandfather, Dr. Tom, and my uncle, Mickey, started an investigation. Precipitated by my grandmother, Alice, standing behind that sofa. And noticing a little tiny birthmark on the back of Tommy’s neck. Are you serious? Very interesting. Yeah, interesting. Heartwarming, in the end. Well, I hope when you find out your story you don’t discover that you and Stephanie are related and then she has to run off to a nunnery.

Fingers crossed. I am very sorry. For what you’re going through. And what a blow this must be to Stephanie. I mean, that’s, uh, That’s the hardest part. I mean, she’s just really hurt and confused. Understandably so. I just Got her back, Julie, and now I lost her again.

Maybe forever. Either way, you have to find out about your past. Or like my Uncle Tommy, you’ll never be free.

Well, okay, if we come into Oh, please. I brought you some more ice chips. Oh, thank you, baby. Would you, uh, like some coffee I brought? Oh, Heavens no. It’ll keep me up all night. But, you know, I really should be going.

Well, thank you so much for coming, Marlena. Hopefully, I’ll see you soon. Yes, I’ll be thinking about all of you. And please, hug those babies for me. I will. Good. Marlena? I’ll see you pretty soon. Soon. Thank you again. We’re in this together.

So, sweetheart, are you feeling better? Ah, better.

I need you to do something for me. Anything, Mama. I need you to get my laptop. Now? What do you need it for? I want you to help me draft my last will, testament.

How could I have missed the signs? How? I trusted Goldman completely. She fooled everybody, boss. Why did she do this? Why, money? Could be Clyde has something on her, forcing her to do his work. Whatever it is, it’s gotta be big. It’s gotta be, and who’s to say that Clyde’s not the only one who has, who has people out there pulling strings.

I mean, there could be judges, there could be other cops, uh, what, prison personnel? We have to bring Goldman in. We’re gonna break her down and get her to tell us whether she has accomplices. Yeah. And when we do that, we’re gonna use her. We are gonna use her to bring Clyde to his knees. I am telling you. We are gonna end that monster once and for all.

Well, hello there, little lady. You son of a bitch. How dare you take my son after everything I have done for you. Everything you’ve done for me? What about what you haven’t done? And now let’s get this straight. The fact that your boy isn’t there with you right now is nobody’s fault but your own. Okay, you listen to me, if you hurt Trip at all, I will personally drive a semi truck through the gates of Statesville and I will choke the life out of you.

Do you hear me loud and clear, but it’s real simple. You do exactly what I say and your boy will be fine.

I should have had a will made up a long time ago. But I just assumed I would live forever. Saw no reason to rush it. But now, you know, I might, might get, wait, listen for God knows how long before I get a new heart. So I need to make sure my affairs Are in order

I understand mom and you know now that Eli and I have kids we’re gonna have our wills made up as well Yes, am I. Okay, that’s fine. It’s fine for y’all to be copycats. But how about you just let me be first, okay? Of course. Okay. So, sweetheart, I’m gonna dictate it to you and you take notes, okay? Okay. I’m ready.

Uh, here it goes. I, Paulina Price, declare this to be my last will and testament.

I am married to Abraham Carver. I have two children. Children, Lonnie Price, and Chanel Dupree. Well, as much fun as this has been, I gotta call it a night. Then, uh, pick it up another time. Yeah, I’d like that. I know Doug’s waiting up for me. Oh, while you were in the garage I called him, and I said, you were here, and you were taking care of me, and he was very glad to hear that.

Well, it’s my pleasure to be able to take care of you. You and your husband have been so wonderful to me since I arrived to town, inviting me over for Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve. You’re a, you’re a good guy, Everett. And I hope when you do find out the secret of your past, you tell me all about it. I’d love to, but, uh, I have a feeling you’ll find out before I can tell you.

Word spreads pretty fast in this town. Yes, it does, doesn’t it? I know when you do know the truth, it’s gonna give you peace of mind. Well, goodnight. Thank you, Julie. I told you

I’d put a new guard outside, but if I don’t know who I can trust I guess I could call in help from another agency. I’m sure Clyde doesn’t have people everywhere, but sure as hell feels like it right now. I can take care of myself. Can you just do me one favor? Yeah, name it. Bring me my gun. Now, what I’m about to tell you stays between you and me.

No cops, no stiff. Okay. Instead of you coming to Statesville to do me in, you’re gonna get your little fanny over here and break me out. Are you out of your mind? A prison break? How the hell am I supposed to pull that off? Well, it’s time for you to shapeshift from that doting mama to vitally mom princess.

You can call your family. You got the numbers. I know you do. No. No, I can’t do that. Oh, yes, you can, and you will. Cause if I’m not out of this prison in 24 hours, that bambino of yours is going to be pushing up daisies.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ridge: I’m so sorry for everything you’re going through. This woman breaking in here and attacking you, and… you having to defend yourself. I just am so happy that–

Steffy: I’m just really glad that you’re here. I know the threat is gone, but it’s nice that I’m not alone right now.

Ridge: I’ll always be here. Whatever you need. And your husband should be here too. Where’s finn?

[ Finn groans ]

Finn: You must think I’m insane for reacting this way.

Hope: No, finn, I… I don’T. Look, the woman who gave you life has died. You are allowed to grieve that.

Finn: Yeah, but the woman that she was and the… and the things that she did? You know, it’s not like I’ve forgotten.

Hope: Of course you haven’T. I mean, finn, but, look, to everyone else, we just… myself included, we just knew her for… for the crazy, for the crimes. But to you?

Finn: But to me, she was my mother. She was this woman who brought me into the world. And… and now she’S… she’s gone. She’s dead. That’s because of steffy.

Rj: She’s dead?

Thomas: Yeah.

Rj: Oh, my god. Is steffy okay?

Zende: Carter just filled me in. It’s really true. Steffy killed sheila.

Rj: Wait, the kids. Were– were they–

Thomas: No. Kelly and hayes weren’t home. Yeah, steffy was by herself when sheila broke in.

Rj: Steffy must be in shock right now.

Thomas: Yeah, she’s shaken up, that’s for sure. Look, steffy hated sheila, but she never intended to kill her.

Steffy: I told sheila to leave, but she kept inching closer and closer to me. I thought she had a gun, and then she lunged at me. I mean, I was trying to protect myself.

Ridge: I know, I understand. Everybody does.

Steffy: Even finn?

[ Loud knocking ]

Ridge: Oh, deacon, what’s up?

Deacon: You killed sheila?

Finn: I just– I can’t believe that this is happening. I… I keep seeing sheila’s blood on the floor, the way it looked, and on my hand, and I mean… I mean, she was murdered in my house by my wife.

Hope: But steffy must be horrified too. I mean, what she went through tonight?

Finn: You know, she says it was self-defense, and not that I don’t believe her, it’s just… hope, this is– this is overwhelming.

Hope: I mean, this is– this is going to take time for both you and steffy.

Finn: I couldn’t even look at her.

Hope: Steffy?

Finn: Yeah. I couldn’t hold my wife. I– I couldn’t touch her. I don’t want to… I don’t want to say this, but I don’t think I can… I don’t think I can be in that house. Wanna know how I get this glow?!

Zende: Do you think that steffy could be in trouble for this?

Rj: No. Well, I mean, she already tried to kill steffy once. She shot my mom and yours. I mean… I mean, I’m not gonna say I’m sad that she’s gone.

Thomas: I agree. And in terms of the police, my dad texted me, told me that chief baker was there asking some questions and I’m sure that’s totally normal in this kind of situation. Look, we’re gonna do everything in our power to protect her.

Steffy: I don’t know what you heard, but–

Deacon: Is it true, steffy? Did you kill sheila? I mean, finn wouldn’t lie about that, would he?

Ridge: Finn?

Steffy: Finn told you?

Deacon: See, he said that, uh, she wasn’t gonna be coming back and the police were involved. And I thought– I thought maybe she came back here and you had her arrested. You convinced the police–

Steffy: There was no time to call the police. Sheila was on a mission. She tried to lunge at me! I grabbed a knife. It was self-defense.

Deacon: You wanted her dead. You said that at my place. You taunted her.

Ridge: What are you implying here?

Deacon: Was this premeditated? Did you plan this?

Steffy: Premeditated? What are you talking about? I wanted a night with my husband. That lunatic came onto my property.

Ridge: And she attacked my daughter. Left her no choice. No choice at all. And sheila got what she deserved.

Finn: I wasn’t there when it– when it happened. I– I didn’t witness it, but… every time I close my eyes, I see it. I see steffy holding the knife and stabbing sheila. I can’t– I can’t get the image out of my head.

Hope: No, but you will though. Eventually. I promise. Your brain is just trying to– to make sense of all of this.

Finn: Well, you probably thought sheila had it coming.

Hope: I think, uh, I think my feelings on the matter are very complicated. And if that’s true for me, I can only imagine what you’re going through. Finn, I know you don’t condone the things that sheila has done. And yet you still feel a connection to her. And that is understandable. You have every right to grieve the loss of your mother. I just want you to– to also focus on what is most important. And that is the fact that your family is okay. Steffy, the kids, they’re safe. So, if you focus on that, eventually, everything will be all right.

Finn: Yeah, will it though?

Hope: I– I mean, some people might have a hard time understanding what you’re going through. But, uh, I get it. And I can assure you your feelings are valid. So, I– I’m here for you. Whatever you need. (Man) mm, hey, honey.

Deacon: Got what she deserved? My god, ridge, are you really that cruel?

Ridge: You do remember what she did to my family.

Deacon: I know that she changed.

Ridge: Really?

Deacon: I’d never seen anybody work so hard to better themselves. All she ever wanted was to be accepted.

Ridge: So, the woman that broke in here, attacked my daughter again, that’s the better version of sheila? Is that what you’re saying?

Deacon: I don’t understand this. This doesn’t make sense.

Ridge: Nothing she ever did made sense.

Deacon: Steffy, are you sure that you– you didn’t misinterpret something that–

Steffy: Interpret? Deacon, what are you talking about? She broke into my home. She refused to leave.

Ridge: It’s okay. That’s enough. My daughter had a bit of a rough night. What she needs right now is support. It seems to me you came over here to defend some idiot who you think was in love with you. It’s time to go.

Deacon: You didn’t know her. Not like I did. She was in love with me. This wasn’t something that I– I made up in my head. This wasn’t a lie. You know what? I loved her too.

Finn: Thanks for saying that and for being here. Just… the problem is, is I don’t know what I need. It’s just– I just wish none of this ever happened.

Hope: Well, uh, maybe think of it this way. Even if it didn’t, sheila was still being sheila. She was out there in the dark, in that storm, terrorizing your wife, so realistically, finn, I mean, I don’t know how much of a future relationship was there for you. I think a little too much damage has been done.

Finn: No, I know. I know, and I didn’T… want any of that. I wasn’t hoping for that.

Hope: Look, I get you probably spent most of your life wondering about who your birth mother was. You know, daydreaming about her and… then you got sheila.

[ Finn chuckles wryly ] So, I think maybe you should focus on the blessings that you actually do have in your life. You know, your work, helping others, the friends that care about you, the mother who actually was there for you who did raise you. And not to mention, steffy. Kelly, hayes… your beautiful family.

Finn: Oh, you’re right. You’re absolutely right. And I– I… I don’t know why I’m reacting this way.

Hope: Because you’re human. And sheila was still your mom.

Finn: But she shot me. And she shot my wife. And that is what I should be picturing when I close my eyes. Not sheila’s blood, but my blood and my wife’S. Thank you, hope. Thank you.

Ridge: I can’t believe that idiot came all the way over here to accuse you. Sorry.

Steffy: What if deacon goes to the police? What if he tells them that I wanted sheila dead?

Ridge: We all wanted sheila dead. That’s not news. We wanted that for decades. The police know that. And they’re gonna come and they’re gonna interview you, and we’re gonna have attorneys here and it’s gonna be fine because you’re covered.

Steffy: Yeah, I hope you’re right. I just wish finn were here.

Ridge: I can’t believe he’s not here.

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: Finn. Deacon was just here. He told me that you went to his apartment. You told him?

Finn: Yeah, I, uh… yeah, I felt the need to… to go there and… you know, where she lived and feel close to her.

Ridge: What? Close to her? What are you talking about?

Steffy: Dad, dad–

Ridge: You need to be here. You need to be here for your wife.

Steffy: Hey, I love you, but I need to talk to finn, okay? Alone.

Ridge: Okay. Hey… sheila is dead. I’m sorry to hurt your feelings. You need to be here. Your wife, your kids, your house, your responsibility.

Steffy: I hate that you’re upset. Your birth mother died tonight. I understand why you’re upset. I’m upset. I took a life tonight. I never wanted this. Finn, I am… I am so sorry. Everything you’re going through right now, everything you’re feeling, just know that I am so, so sorry.

[Bell dings]

Thomas: So, how’d it go? Breaking the news to your dad?

Hope: I, uh, didn’t see him. Actually, by the time I got there, he had already gone. Someone told him.

Thomas: Oh, well, who got to him first?

Hope: Finn.

Thomas: Finn?

Hope: I walked in and he was just sitting on the couch holding a photo of sheila. I just, I don’t know. I think he was trying to wrap his head around it all, or maybe he wanted to be in the house where she last lived.

Thomas: But, I mean, sheila’s not some normal doting mother. She’s a psychopath.

Hope: Well, yeah, I’m– I’m aware, but…

Thomas: But?

Hope: Finn still feels a connection to her.

Thomas: To sheila.

Hope: Come on, thomas, wouldn’t you?

Thomas: Look, I– I feel bad for finn and the dna hand he was dealt, but at some point you have to accept it and move on.

[ Hope sighs ]

Hope: Well, hopefully, our little talk helped with that.

Thomas: I’m sure it did.

Hope: Mm. I think I got through to him. Yeah, I… feel bad, but I really tried to drive the point home, you know, get him to realize where he belongs right now.

Thomas: Yeah, with steffy, right? His wife. That’s exactly where he needs to be.

Steffy: Did it help going to deacon’s?

Finn: Uh, I don’t know. Maybe. None of this makes sense, how I’m reacting. It’s just what you… you know, what happened tonight and what you did, it’s– it’s– it’s horrible. It’s surreal.

Steffy: But I want to be able to– to face this with you, because, honestly, I– I don’t think I can, I don’t think I can do this alone.

Finn: Look, you won’t have to, okay? I’m your husband. I’m here with you. And I’m so thankful that you and… that you and the kids are all right.

[ Steffy gasps emotionally ] You know, knowing what you faced tonight, and that you could be terrorized in any way, or traumatized.

Steffy: No, no. We’re gonna survive this. We are, because, finn, we can get through anything together. We can overcome any obstacle, okay?

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: Thank you for coming home. Oh, god. Oh… oh, I needed this. I just need to feel close to you. Finn?

Finn: I don’t know what’s wrong with me. You know I love you and you know that I, um… I feel about you and you know that I just… you know, I want to get back to our beautiful little life, but… I think, um… I think everything that’s, uh, that’s happened, and just, just kind of be, like being here, and um, I– I think I just maybe need a little more, um… I think I need a little more time, okay? I think I just need some–

Steffy: What?

Finn: Some time. No, it’s just, um… everything that’S… that’s happened, and I know that sheila isn’t– isn’t, um… she– she didn’t raise me, but she is my mother, and I… I– I can’t, I’m sorry, I can’t– steffy, I can’t be here.

Steffy: Finn. Finn…

Finn: I can’T. I can’T.

Steffy: Finn, what are you doing? Finn! Finn, what are– come on!

Devon: So Billy’s going away on a short business trip, and he has provisions for me. He wants me to bring chance in on everything while he’s gone. Even though chance is brand new and can’t make decisions. So, why would he do that?

Abby: But you have an idea.

Devon: I do, yeah. I think that he wants to have a fly on the wall here. So that nothing happens without him knowing about it. Or he’s just flexing his power.

Abby: Wait, do you know when lily’s coming back?

Devon: I don’t. That’s a great question. Which means I have to figure out how to work with Billy in the meantime.

Abby: Hmm. Well, that’s not stressful at all.

Devon: Oh, yeah. It’s just unfortunate, because it makes things a lot less productive around here than they need to be.

Abby: And it’s draining. I mean, I know, I had one of the worst business partners ever in phyllis. It doesn’t get any worse than that. I mean, Billy can’t possibly be that bad, right?

Devon: They’re different. I don’t want to badmouth anybody in your family, but I think that they’re equally bad in their own ways.

Abby: I hate seeing you like this. Is there anything I can do to help?

Devon: No, no. I appreciate it, but this is something that I have to deal with on my own, and I will. I’m actually kind of happy that Billy’s going to be going out of town. Because even with chance in the mix, I think things will run a lot smoother with him being gone.

***********”””””””””””” **************

Billy: Hey, why don’t you take it easy. I’m not telling you how to be a parent. I made a comment because I’m looking out for Connor.

Adam: You think I’m not looking out for my son? Okay, is this how you plan to console Connor, by insulting his father?

Chelsea: No, we are not doing this. We are not doing this. We are not fighting. We are not wasting precious energy arguing. Remember what Sharon said? We have to take this one step at a time and not jump to conclusions.

Adam: Okay, all I’m saying is we should not take what the therapist says at face value. We should get a second opinion. Hell, we maybe should get a third opinion, Chelsea.

Chelsea: Which is what jumping to conclusions means, Adam!

Adam: It doesn’t.

Chelsea: We haven’t even heard what the specialist has said yet, okay? But we have to listen to the doctor who specializes in this exact issue. And you know what Connor doesn’t need right now? He doesn’t need to feel the tension between you two, fighting and me playing referee. If you both can’t control yourself, then maybe you both should stay home.

Danny: No, I want you to stop, okay? All right? Nothing has changed. We are not– I repeat– we are not getting back together. I don’t have romantic feelings for you. We are friends, co-parents. That’s it!

Phyllis: Well, I know this. I know there’s something between us.

[ Danny sighs ] And it’s very, very powerful. I feel it. Listen, when I look at you and Christine, there’s no spark. It’s like watching paint dry.

Danny: Which is the other reason why we’re not gonna have this conversation. Because I do not want to be this dodgeball that you two keep throwing at each other.

Phyllis: Well, that’s a bad metaphor. Because if it were dodgeball, Christine would be on the floor by now.

Danny: Okay, that’s not funny.

Phyllis: It’s a little bit funny.

Danny: No, it’s not.

Phyllis: Hey, listen to me. I know your hesitation. I understand it. I didn’t expect this either. It caught me by surprise. I didn’t expect you to walk into my life at this late date and feel this way.

Danny: I’m not buying a word you’re saying.

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

Nikki: Good morning, Esther.

Esther: Nikki, hi. It’s so nice to see you. Uh… that man behind you, is he your bodyguard?

Nikki: Yes, he is.

Esther: Well, wha– what does that mean? A– a– are you in danger? I– I wa– I wasn’t trained for anything like this. I– is– is there gonna be trouble?

Nikki: No, I’m not anticipating any.

Esther: Oh, that’s good. I think.

Nikki: So, I would like a hot tea, please, raspberry and bring an extra one for Larry here. Everything will be fine. Thank you for your concern.

Esther: Oh, well, you’re like family to me, Nikki. Of course I worry.

Michael: Knock, knock. I got your message. You wanted to see me?

Claire: Yes, thank you. Come in.

[ Michael chuckling ]

Michael: I love what you’ve done with the place.

Claire: Yeah, it’s hard to make this place homey.

Michael: Hm. Maybe some other art? Perhaps a colorful throw.

Claire: I’ve decided I’m willing to do whatever it takes to get out of here. I want to take victor up on his offer.

Michael: Wow. Oh. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to hear from you so soon.

Claire: There’s no reason to wait. The sooner my aunt’s dealt with, the better. Do you think you can arrange my release?

[ Michael chuckling ]

Michael: I’ve already got the ball rolling.

Claire: But I’ve only just decided.

Michael: That’s true.

Claire: Victor told me to call you if and when I was willing to go along with his plan. He said it was my decision to make. Is that a lie?

************************************************””””*”

Claire: My therapy doesn’t have to stop. I can keep doing it outpatient. I will not miss this room or the food.

Cole: Wait a minute, I thought you loved the pudding.

Claire: There is one thing I’ll miss. Visiting the kids in the children’s ward.

Cole: Well, I don’t see why you can’t keep that up. I mean, you could visit after your therapy sessions. I think that’s something we could figure out.

Claire: I’d love that. It’s the highlight of my day right now.

Amanda: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness! So good to see you! I can’t believe you’re here!

Amanda: Well, you know you can come visit me. There are planes and buses, trains.

Phyllis: You know, don’t tempt me, because I may jump into your suitcase and start living in your guest room.

Amanda: Do it, please. But may I ask why?

Phyllis: Ah, I don’t wanna talk about me. Let’s talk about you. Why are you back in town?

Amanda: Battle preparations.

Ashley: Ooh, spicy. You’re certainly worked up.

Audra: You know, I’d like to get a few things straight.

Ashley: Didn’t we already have this conversation?

Audra: It’s my turn to do the talking.

Ashley: Oh. I don’t suppose you’ll leave if I ask you nicely?

Audra: You know, Tucker told me you went up to his suite last night.

Ashley: Oh, did he?

Audra: Yeah, we don’t keep secrets. Our relationship is based on honesty.

Ashley: Oh, that’s so sweet. Are we done now?

Audra: You’re done with Tucker.

[ Ashley laughs ]

Ashley: Well, that’s not your call.

Audra: You know this game you’re playing? You miraculously decide that you were wrong about Paris, that tucker wasn’t violent, and so you sneak up to his suite and ambush him with your new truth?

Ashley: Wow, tucker really did overshare, didn’t he?

Audra: It’s not gonna work, Ashley. If you’ve changed your mind and decided that you now want a future with tucker, it’s too late. Okay, you blew it. So you need to back off. He’s with me now.

Ashley: But you’re not sure about that, are you? And that’s why you’re here. Because you’re very afraid that he’s not over me, aren’t you?

Audra: You’ve hurt tucker for the last time. So if you try to seduce him as part of your sick plan, you’re gonna have to deal with me.

Ashley: Ooh. Scary.

Devon: Okay, Billy, you’re just going to have to take my word about Lenny Flanagan, because he’s always been a smart, innovative, stand-up guy for us.

Billy: That’s great. He sounds like a great guy, Devon. I believe you. We’ll invite him to the barbecue, okay? But I’ve looked at the file. There’s nothing in here but a bunch of smoke. His last two business ventures, they didn’t go anywhere. Nothing happened with them.

Devon: Oh, that’s– I think it’s very funny that you’re ready to judge someone off their track record before even meeting them.

Billy: What’s that? A little– little dig at me? Is that what that is?

Devon: I mean, you can take it however you’d like, Billy. The only thing I’m asking is if you will set aside some time to speak with Lenny and hear what he has to say before you just dismiss him, all right? Because there is something to be said about working with people that you have faith in.

Billy: And all I’m saying is that we have plenty of potentially lucrative deals waiting in the pipeline. We don’t have to waste time, resources, and money on warm, fuzzy feelings.

***********************************”

Billy: With all due respect, Esther, what Devon and i are doing, I wouldn’t– I wouldn’t say it’s bickering.

Devon: Yeah, no, it’s a difference of opinions, really. And it’s nothing to worry about.

Esther: Oh, I would love to not worry about it. But this company is important to me.

Devon: I know it is.

Billy: And we’re grateful for that.

Esther: You know, I am really good at reading situations and emotions. You know, I’ve lived at the chancellor mansion for decades, and it wasn’t just about cake-wrestling and catfights. More times than I can count. There was so much tension in there, you could cut it with a knife. And that’s what I’m picking up from the two of you.

Devon: I think you’re reading a little more into it than I was.

Esther: I know. Correct me if I’m wrong, which I am not. What I’m getting at, Devon, is you resent having to work with Billy, because you’d rather work with your sister, because you and lily work well together. And Billy, you resent Devon resenting you, which is just going to be a problem given your career history. All I’m asking is that you please just take a minute and think of how upset your fathers, john and neil, would be if they saw what you were bringing all this petty conflict to the people that are counting on you to make this business the success that it needs to be.

Tucker: Hey. You know, for someone with a booming career in a swanky penthouse apartment, you sure do spend an awful lot of time here.

Nate: Why are you so concerned about where I spend my time?

Tucker: Just curious what keeps you coming back. Is it the steak frites? Or the Audra Charles?

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

Tucker: something more, forget it, man. I will never let you come between us. It’s a straight-up fool’s attempt to even try.

Nate: Okay. Well, I guess we’ll have to just wait and see how this all shakes down.

Chloe: And the second victor is in a mood, he will make sure to get rid of us.

Sally: Okay, well Adam said that he would protect us from victor if anything like that happened, okay? But hopefully it won’t.

Chloe: You have to trust me on this. Getting into bed with Adam was a huge mistake. Getting into bed with Newman enterprises is a bigger one.

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

Adam: about my idea to bring your business into Newman?

Sally: After I unloaded on her about you going behind my back, yeah. But I mean, it’s no surprise. It’s no secret that she’s not your biggest fan.

Adam: I’m more concerned about where your head is at. Are you still mad? Or do you understand why I went to nick and my dad before I came to you?

Danny: Look, Daniel’s not here. I have nothing more to say to you.

Phyllis: This is a peace offering.

Danny: Not necessary.

Phyllis: Well, it’s your favorite, brunello. I know you want it, even if you’re still angry at me.

Danny: Peace offering accepted. Now, would you please leave me alone?

Phyllis: Is that so hard? I just wanna have a little chat with you first.

Danny: Phyllis, I ca–

Phyllis: Just a little chat, please. Danny, I need to say this. I’m not the one doing the competing here.

Danny: You gotta be kidding me.

Phyllis: I’m not. I mean the old me, yeah, for sure. The old me would’ve loved this. Ticking off the sa– the most sanctimonious person on the planet. Yeah, but not me now. Okay, listen, I’ve had a brutal year. Oh, massively painful. You know that. And you have helped me so much. I feel like I really am changing. I’ve really worked hard to change and you’ve been there with me every step of the way, encouraging me when nobody else in this town would do that. And– and I realized that since the moment I met you, I made your life turmoil. I realized that. I’m not proud of the things I’ve done. I’m not proud of them at all. I’m ashamed. But I feel like I took responsibility for them and just every day, I’m changing and changing. I just kind of wanted to do that with you. Do you know what I mean? So, I kind of think that beneath all your caution and coloring within the lines, I kinda think you feel the same way

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

Devon: Good. So, listen, Billy, we, uh– I, uh, I had that conversation with lily about your request to add abbott to the company name and we have an answer for you.

Billy: Why do I feel I’m not gonna like where this is headed?

Devon: Well, listen man, we– we certainly respect your sense of legacy when it comes to your name for Jill’s sake, but lily and I feel like we already have a very strong brand name in place.

Billy:  Well, true, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be modified.

Devon: True. Another big concern we have though is it might confuse people.

Billy: Confuse people. How so?

Devon: Well, because the name Abbott, for as long as I can remember, has been synonymous with Jabot. And people might start thinking that our companies are linked when they’re not.

Billy: Yeah, I don’t see that happening. Two very distinct niches.

Devon: Well, either way, uh, lily and I feel like making a name change will shake things up just too much right now.

Billy: Adding Abbott to the chancellor-winter’s name is hardly shaking things up, Devon. In fact, it further defines this company. It gives it a broader reach, it gives it more name recognition.

Devon: And I hear all the points you’re making, Billy. And I’m still sorry to tell you that we’re gonna be keeping the name Chancellor-Winters as is.

Amanda: Well, Jill will be very sorry to hear that.

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

Phyllis:  that there’s something going on between me and Danny?

Christine: Oh, my god, because you are stalking him. Big difference from an actual relationship.

Danny: I seem to remember asking you both to give me some time and some space and yet here you are back in my place again. What don’t you understand about boundaries? I’m confused here.

Phyllis: I never really believed in boundaries, to be honest. And I think that we could both agree, there’s nothing wrong with going after love.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

So this is it, huh? This is how it ends. Neat. Clean. Easy. And then curtains down for Harris Michaels.

You know, if someone did in fact kidnap Tripp and Wendy, they sure as hell knew how to disengage their phones. Last pings came from outside the park near the square. Yeah, during the event. Right. You know, with Wendy’s tech prowess, it’s possible that they could have coerced her into showing them how to do it. Mm. Oh, man.

I think we’re gonna need to move through some back channels now. That takes more know how. Yeah, well Hang on a second.

Hey, son. How’s Tate doing? Hey, dad. Well, we just got here. We haven’t checked in yet, but I know that you’re on the visitors list, so do you think you can make it? Hold on a second. Um, it’s Brady. Tate just got moved to a halfway house. He was wondering if maybe I could Go. Go. Don’t have to ask. I think you just got the okay, so I’ll see you soon.

You got it, kid.

Buddy, take off. It’s okay. Hey, I’m still waiting for notes on that Ava video anyway. I’ll stay here. I’ll keep working at, at this until you get back.

We’re gonna find your boy. Come hell or high water.

I

thought he would never leave. You again? I was in the neighborhood. Have you tried the shashouks at the little cafe down the road? Oh, the eggs are cooked beautifully, but it could have used a little bit more salt. I don’t have time for your restaurant reviews. I am busy. Well, I too am a busy man, Mr. Johnson.

But I have made time in my busy schedule. To see you.

Room service. Hi, honey. How are you doing? It’s still all weird to me. Oh. Yeah, I, I understand. So I was wrong before, wasn’t I? It’s way past New Year’s Eve, right? You know, honey, the doctors assured us that when, uh, a person wakes up out of a coma, they tend to pick up where they left off. Do you remember Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who got knocked out on the field and then was in a coma for a few days and, well, the first thing he said when he woke up was, did we win?

And against all odds, he’s playing again. How inspiring is that? Yeah, that’s great, but I’m not a professional football player. And mom, you haven’t let me see my phone or watch the news. You said I was in a hospital in Italy? I just, I can’t even wrap my brain around that. Holly. Mom, what is it you’re not telling me?

So, how are we doing?

Okay, Dad’s headed over. Great. Tate’s going to be so happy to see him. Yeah. Hi, uh, we are, um Teresa Donovan and Brady Black. We’re here to see our son, Tate Black. You’re on the list, Ms. Donovan, so you can just head on into the visiting room. Um Oh, I’m sorry. What about me? Brady? Brady Black? You are not listed.

Um, okay. There’s been a mistake here. See, this is, this is his father. I’m sure it’s on the list. I’m sorry, I just can’t let anyone in without the patient’s permission. Go on. Go on. He’s, he’s waiting for you, so you go.

Okay, I’ll talk to him. Go. I’ll be here if you need me. All right.

Oh. Tight. Alright, Mom. Oh. So good to see you.

You know your dad’s here. Don’t. Just don’t do this, Mom. What? What am I doing? What are you doing? Really? You’re trying to guilt trip me into seeing him, aren’t you?

Sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. Thank God you’re

here. I’ve been challenging for a cappuccino. I’ll be back in a jiffy. You, uh, you want anything?

Bitch.

What are you doing? I whipped up some of my famous baklava rolo. It is an old family recipe that my mother god rest her soul passed down to me. I’m not hungry. You’re not hungry? Well, you might be in a little while because we are going to be here for a while. Uh, do you have coffee? Uh, that old American diner style coffee with the drip, drip, drip stuff?

Just ran out. Ah, what a shame. That is too bad. Ah, well, here you go. Oh, thanks. You are really missing out. You know, I gave some to the children this morning. Thomas and Charlotte at the house, and they just gobbled them up. That’s why I like to call them the little goblins. I love children. I really do.

Really love them. I don’t have time for this. You don’t have time to have a delectable Greek pastry, huh? Well, you should make time. Ella, pedacimo. It might remind you of Greece. The time you spent in Aria, to be precise. You know, my Catalina, she loved baklava rolo. Oh, yes. I had to hide them from her. She loved.

She loved so very much, everything. She had what you might call a zest for life. Don’t you ever shut up! Now listen, I’m in the middle of a case here. I don’t have time for this.

So your son is still missing? What’s it to you? Well, it’s just that I I can certainly relate to the pain that you are going through. The acute anger, frustration. Pining for answers that remain excruciatingly elusive. Yes, well, I do understand. The pain that you are going through, the hell that you are going through, because I go through it every minute of every day, Mr.

Johnson, wondering who killed my daughter.

You’re doing great. Uh, EJ, can you help me get Holly up? Honey, Sarah said that you should get out of bed a few times a day and walk around. Yes, absolutely. After being in bed so long, well, we mustn’t let the muscles atrophy. You’ve been in bed for so long. How long? How long have I been in a coma? Easy, honey.

Easy. First things first. Come on. Here we go. Let’s get this over and done with. Ready? Hold on. There you go. Ready? Down. Hold on. You in? Let’s go. Oh. Yay, honey. This is great. Look at you. There you go. And turn you right. And there we go. There baby. Yum.

What? What? It’s, it’s, it’s chicken broth and smashed bananas with a pinch of cinnamon for a little kick. Ugh, gross. Nah, someone pass me my phone. I’m gonna order a burger from Buddy’s Burger Bar. No, honey, you can’t have that. Why not? Well, because Sarah said, and every Google search known to man said, that you have to reintroduce Certain food groups in your system slowly.

Well, how is it gonna help my system if you’re giving me food I won’t eat? Well, how about some chowder from the pub? No. Uh, yeah, never mind. It’s too rich. Never mind. French fries? And what are you gonna ask for next? Froglois or fried Oreos from the state fair? Bet. Bet? What? What? Bet? What does that mean? Oh my god, mom.

What? It’s Gen Z slang. Gen Z slang? It means like word. Word? Bet? I’m Sorry. What? It’s okay, sweetie. What? What? What’s so funny? It’s nothing. It’s just watching the mother daughter back and forth. It’s beautiful. I missed it. I’m sure you have. I have. Oh my god. Guilt tripping you? I’m not guilt tripping you. I’m just trying to tell you that Mom, I mean it.

Do not try to force me to see dad today. Tate, you can do whatever you want, okay? But just hear me out. You and your dad had a great relationship before all this happened. You guys were best buds! Yeah. Yeah. We used to be. But, ever since I started therapy, well, it brought up a lot of stuff for me. Especially how dad wasn’t there for me when I was growing up.

Like, when we moved to California, I Yeah, about I’m moving to California. Yeah?

I had a big part in that. What do you mean? I’m the one I kept you from your father.

It is a parent’s worst nightmare, losing a child. They say it gets easier with time. No. Oh, it does not. I miss my Katharina more as time goes on. No less.

She was my heart.

She was the only good thing I ever did.

Do you feel that way about your children, Mr. Johnson?

My children mean everything to me.

Well then, you must understand how terribly painful my loss Has been.

Do you understand?

How could I not?

I appreciate your empathy, Mr. Johnson. More than you know.

Hey, buddy. Dad, thanks for coming. What’s, uh, what’s going on here? Have you been in to see Tate yet? Uh, no, no, I haven’t been in. Teresa’s actually seeing him right now. Oh, okay. He didn’t put me on the list. Oh, come on, son. I have seen you and your boy together. Let me tell you, that bond is strong. I mean, come on, does it need a little bit of work here?

Yeah, you know, so let’s give it some time, some patience, and with a little bit of effort, I can guarantee you things are gonna be A OK. I’m hoping so. Listen, don’t I know that he wants to see his granddad, so why don’t you, uh Why don’t you go in there? He’ll be happy to see you, okay? Go on. Okay. Love you, buddy.

Love you, too. No.

No, you didn’t You didn’t move me to California to keep me from Dad. You No, you’re just making that up to cover for him. No, I’m not.

The reason I have custody of you is because I made up What? You made up what?

I made up a lie that implicated your father in a murder case.

I lied. And that got me custody of you. And that’s what allowed me to take you with me to California. So my point is, that man out there that you refuse to see? I have hurt him. So much more than he has hurt you or hurt me.

Your father loves you. He always has and he always will.

Um, there’s something else that I think that I want you to know about your, your father. Actually, about me.

You remember that first night that you were sent away? I was a mess. And I slipped. I slipped. In a really big way. And guess, guess who was there for me? I mean, totally, totally there for me. Kind and forgiving and supportive, even after everything that I have done to him. Your father, Brady Black.

He needs you in his life. And you need him. Hey, dear.

Where are you, kid?

Your mom’s right. Your dad needs you because he loves you with all his heart. And your mother here, you know what? She just took a really big risk in telling you the truth. That was brief of her.

You know why she did that?

Because she trusted enough in your love for her. She knew she wasn’t going to lose you. You know what we call that?

Unconditional love, T. And that is what your mother and your father have for you. That is what your grandparents have for you. Always. Or ever.

I

heard you survived those bullets, you son of a bitch. Better

luck this time.

Not so fast.

No, you’re not going anywhere, pal. Ah! Stefan? So good to see you.

Listen, Constantine. I understand that you’re still grieving your daughter. But if you’re somehow trying to implicate me in her death No, no, no, no. I am not trying to do anything. I am merely sharing, uh, how her death haunts me, pains me, every minute of every day.

No one was supposed to die that day. It was an accident. A terrible accident. Which you witnessed. Did you not? No, no, not directly.

But you admit, you were there when Katharina died. When the pawn put a bullet through her head.

You were there. Were you not?

I’m good, Mom. Really, that’s all I want. Okay, well that’s a good start anyway. Well, um, let’s get you back into bed, shall we? Not yet, okay? Mom, you said you’d answer some of my questions, so how about answering those now? Okay, what do you want to know? Everything. Starting with why I was in a coma for what, months?

You had opioid laced drugs in your system.

Drugs? What? It’s okay, Colleen. We know that you don’t do drugs. And believe me, we are going to get to the bottom of what happened. But however it happened, it was an overdose and your heart stopped several times. You nearly died. Before you slipped into unconsciousness. And it, it happened on New Year’s Eve.

That’s when I thought it would, when I came to. Honey, do you remember anything else?

No, um, not really. Just, just the sound of fireworks. But darling, just, just try and think hard. Think hard for back then for you were drugged with potentially lethal drugs that in fact almost cost you your life. So it is very important that we know where they came from. Honey, where did you get the drugs?

It’s hate. Hey,

your father, he’s missed you so much. He’s out there in the waiting room, he’s just hoping you’re gonna agree to see him.

You know,

I just found my long lost father. Your great grandfather. Timothy, he’s a wonderful, spirited man, which I missed out on so many years with him. And neither one of us were ever gonna get those years back. I’m just saying that I don’t want you to look back one day and have any regrets about the time that you missed with your dad.

You know Tate, but it’s your call.

So what do you say? Can I, can I go get him and tell him that you would like to see him after all?

Can I help you? Tate Black would like to see his father. Okay, sure, I just need to make a quick call.

Hello, this is Olivia confirming that Tate Black will allow his father to visit. Thank you. You can go in to see your son now, Mr. Black. Thank you. Listen, I gotta take off, but uh, you’re gonna call me, right? Yeah, of course. I love you, son. And Tate? You got yourself a good kid in there. I know he’s a good kid.

I’ll see ya. Thank you again. Love you, buddy. You know I had no choice in this. We all have choices. Uh, what do you want from me? You seem to follow instructions really well. I like that in a person. Now I have some instructions of my own for you. Are you listening? I’m listening. Yeah? You work for me, Gamera.

You’re gonna take the fall for this, and you’re gonna help me take Clyde Weston down, do you understand? I understand. That’s good. Oh, that’s good.

Do You need to confess, Mr. Johnson? Because now is the time. Surely, it would help you to, to relieve the guilt. To finally admit the truth. Nothing

will relieve me of that guilt. So you were there? In Aria? On that terrible day?

Answer me, Mr. Johnson.

Yes. Yes, I was there.

God, how I wish I hadn’t been.

Please. Tell me more, please. For both our sakes. We both deserve to have peace of mind about this. Don’t you agree?

Sure. It will unburden you. It will help. I assure you, it will help. It was a long time ago. Decades. We were different people then.

But yes. I was the pawns handler for Victor.

He called me away to give me some instruction.

And when I came back,

there was a young girl lying there.

Dead.

That image has tormented me all this time. I didn’t know who she was.

But you do now.

I do now.

And the bomb? Where was he when you came back? He was there, just holding the gun. And someone else was lying next to the girl, flat, on the ground. I couldn’t see that person’s face,

but I knew it was you. Hey son. I have to go make a call. It’s uh, it’s good to see you.

Yeah, it is. It’s good to see you too. Look man, I um, I don’t know what grandfather said to you. No, it was mom. Yeah, she um, she told me the truth about what happened. Between you two. What she did so she could take me to California and away from you. Pauline.

Tell us, please. , where did you get the drugs? Did Tate give them to you? Uh, I, I don’t know. I, I don’t remember taking any drugs, so someone must have given them to me, or maybe they slipped them into my drink without my knowing. I, I don’t know. So no one gave you the drugs? Not Tate, not anyone. Mom. I’m, I’m just really tired.

Okay. So you need to rest. Yeah, of course, honey. Of course. Come on. That a girl. Let’s see. There we go.

What’s the plan? He’s gonna keep me here? No, I’m gonna keep you here until we’re clear on where things stand. I know where things stand. Just a reminder, I got you on attempted murder of a police officer. Not once, but twice. First, a loading dock, and now with a syringe. And look, you’re not wearing gloves, so your fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.

Do you know what kind of time you’re gonna freaking serve?

You ready to play ball?

Where is he? Where is that bastard who killed my Katerina? I will suck the life out of him! No, no, no. John is not the one you want. He was not the puppet master there. Whatever he did was out of his control. But you do not deny he was the pawn, huh? He was transformed into that maniac by Stefano DiMera. And he’s dead.

And so is Victor. So if it’ll make you feel any better, go spit on their graves. But leave John out of this. He has suffered enough. He suffered? I have suffered! And now I want the both of you to suffer, like I have suffered! What do you mean by that? Your missing son, he may still be alive. But my daughter is dead!

And I will have justice!

Did you hear what she just said? I knew it. Someone slipped her those drugs and we both know who that someone was. No, we don’t know that for sure. Oh, come on. Who else could it have been? No one else was drugged at that party. Holly was roofied. And there’s no one else who would have done that except for her date that night.

The little swine who was trying to get into her pants.

Is this true? Did you, did you, you told him? It was time that Tate knew the truth. Oh, I really don’t know what to say. I do. I’m sorry, Dad. I’m so sorry.

You don’t have anything to be sorry about, Tate. None at all. And I thank you for telling the truth. I’m grateful.

I love you. You’re my kid, I love you so much. And your mom and I, we’re always gonna be there for you, no matter what, okay? You hear me? Come

here.

We have a lot to catch up on, don’t we? Yeah. Yeah, we do. Do you know what it was like for me to watch the Super Bowl alone this year? I picked you, Dad, in a room full of chicken wings and pizza and a giant 4K television and no one did It was awful. Yeah, well, I had no one to ask to kick in fantasy basketball this year, so Okay, stop it.

And, um, Mom, thank you for opening up to me. Really, for having the courage to tell me the truth about you and Dad. I’m so glad I did. Just seeing you both laughing together, it just You have no idea how happy it makes me.

I knew I’d find you in here. Yes.

Just making sure this was all still real. Holly’s home and she’s come back to us. I understand that need. But I assure you, my darling, it is very real. And

now EJ, I mean, she doesn’t I obviously remember that she was drugged and I just, I so hope that those drugs weren’t hers that did this to her. I guess because I would feel like that would reflect on me because if she were using, that means I failed her as a mother. But you haven’t, Nicole.

But I have, in so many ways. I’ve been selfish and self absorbed, and if those drugs that almost killed my daughter, if they were hers, then that’s just another box ticked off on a terrible mother checklist. And yes, you know what, sure, I, I I could say that I should have been there for her more. I mean, recently, just losing the baby, and then losing my mind, and stealing Eric’s baby.

I mean, it just It was so lost. It was just And, and, and And pain. And it was hurting, and I’m trying to make sense of it all. And I just was really I was just trying to handle how to get through every day. Nicole, sweetheart. I need you. To stop beating yourself up. Look at me. You are a wonderful mother. And darling, Holly made it clear that those drugs weren’t hers, which means she is completely innocent in all of this.

Holly is a wonderful young woman. And you have raised her right. You should be very proud. Very, very proud. Now come on, let’s let this lovely young girl get some rest, okay?

Okay.

So, any late breaking news since I left? Um, yeah, that’s right, no problem, no problem. If you don’t come to us, we go find the leads, right? Because our number one priority here is bringing your boy home safely. Definitely. All right, now you said, Dylan, when I left here that the last cell phone pings were heard what, outside the park?

Yeah. That’s right.

Yeah. Right there. All right. Nice. See, partner? We’re already making progress. Let’s keep at it.

You can go. I’ll be in touch. Yeah. All right. Oh, God. God! Oh! Oh! Please. Oh, gosh. Uh, Uh,

What the?

Goldman! It’s you!

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Oh, you just had to wake up, didn’t you, Harris?

Damn it! One frickin thing go right!

What now? Hey, watch your manner, Stefan. That ain’t no way to answer a call. Especially one from me. I

wish, I just wish I could just Wake up from this nightmare and Tripp and Wendy would be home, sitting on the couch and laughing, and I just, Harris would be fine. He’d be okay. You know what? Unfortunately, neither one of us is gonna wake up from this. This is happening. So we need to stay focused. Did you call Wendy’s parents yet?

No. I haven’t. I just, you know, I’m not ready to yet. Ava, they need to know what’s going on. Should we do it together? And say what? It’s usually what we’re supposed to say. Oh, hi, Mr. And Mrs. Shin. Um, your daughter and our son are missing and we don’t have any idea where the hell they are.

Oh my God.

Does your back feel any better? Uh, you know, if I imagine myself in a yoke class on a warm beach, that definitely helps. Want to do the same thing. Yeah. Look, I know that it’s hard to stay positive right now, but we gotta at least try. Yeah, well I’m positive that I want to punch Officer Coleman in the face.

Yeah, I hear you there. I just hope my mom sees the video and doesn’t completely freak out. Oh, she definitely will. But at least she’ll know we’re alive. Maybe she can figure out where the hell we are.

Eric, a little help here.

Oh my god.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

How’s mommy doing? She’s uh, she’s taking a nap. It’s called resting my eyes. How you doing, Mama? Fine, now that you’re here, my darling. And my Abraham, too. Well, I’m glad. And you know, I know something that’ll make you feel much better.

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

Now, where are the They’re with Doug and Julie right now. They had a long day of travel, so they needed some down time and so do we.

Yeah, but not, it’s not like they’ll get that with Julie and Doug or with Thomas and Charlotte. They were just all over Carver and Jules, waiting to show them all their toys and games. And, uh, Says I hear we missed the wedding of the year. Oh yes, it was a gala event. No, actually it was simple and perfect.

Just what the doctor ordered. And where’s the husband of yours? Oh, Johnny went to grab some snacks, but he’ll be back soon. He has been here with me, Mama, and Abe through all of it. Hasn’t he, Mama? Uh, sure has. Yes, Ember. All of it. I’m sure Chanel means first my surgery and then my heart kind of going south on me.

Uh, um, you must have heard about that, Lonnie. Yeah, Mama, I did. Well, my heart, it may be failing, but right now it’s oh so full. Now that my I have my two beautiful daughters here with me. What do you think? Oh, there you are. Happy Valentine’s Day. Eric, is this the emergency you had me rush home for? It is.

I, I hope I didn’t scare you. No, I mean, it’s okay. This is so beautiful and romantic. The decorations are just the beginning. Because I have some very big plans for our special day.

So? What do we do now? We’ve shared childhood stories, and a game of I Spy won’t really work in here. I’ve got an idea. I’m open to any and all suggestions. Good, good, because I’m, uh, taking you to dinner. Yeah, that seems like a slightly illogical suggestion given the circumstances. Aw, I mean, illogical, that’s just relative, right?

I mean, one person finds illogical, the other person could find perfectly illogical. Logical and sensible, right? Okay. Okay, then allow me to be the perfectly logical and sensible person And suggest that we go to dinner in the most romantic city in the world Paris

Clyde I wasn’t expecting to hear from you today. Really? Even with the recent turn of events. Okay, look, I, uh, I’m in the middle of a crisis at the restaurant and I’m needed on the floor and that’s not a good time. Kind of hard to get back on the floor when you’re not at work, isn’t it? I mean, when you’re at home.

In your, you know, fancy mansion. How the hell? Hey. You will never see my people. You understand that? Yeah. Got it. But I got a lot of stuff I gotta take care of right now. Okay? Not okay. You should be focusing on your number one problem. And what’s that? Harris Michaels. He’s awake.

What is it? It’s a video. Of Tripp and Wendy. Play it. Hi mom. First you need to know that Wendy and I are okay. You’re getting this message as a warning to keep your mouth shut and not talk to any law enforcement about anything you’re currently involved in. And you will not tell anyone about this video.

You’re being monitored. So, be very careful what you say or do and be sure to do exactly as you’re told when you’re contacted. If you follow these instructions, Wendy and I can come home. And if you don’t, you’ll never see us again. I love you, Mom. Oh my God, Steve.

What do we do? Of course I’m being watched. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That might be an empty threat, just to keep you in line. Okay, this is Clyde Weston we were talking about. He doesn’t make empty threats. He only makes promises. And did you see, did you see Wendy and Tripp? Did you see how exhausted and scared they look?

Where, where the hell are they? What are you doing? Trying to answer your question

Okay, so Our dinner in Paris. How do we make it happen? You know without actually flying there? Well See we make it happen with

A pot of water. Okay. Protein bar. And Chocolate kisses. Oh, Goldman was ever so generous, isn’t she? Learned it cold. Plan wasn’t intended. Fantastique. Now

Care to join me, mon amour?

Bien, sir, mon chéri. So When did you and my grandbabies get into town? Earlier today. All we did was drop off the luggage and the kids. We wanted to get here as soon as possible so we could see you. Oh, well, I, I appreciate that, my, my loves. Oh, oh, shoo. Oh, oh, just need a minute. I’ll come. You just take it easy, sweetheart, alright?

Chanel, you take Eli and Lonnie and show them where the ice machine is, and then you all can, you all can bring back some ice chips for your mom. Uh, of course. We’ll be right back.

You didn’t have to do that. What did I do? You sent them out of the room. Because you sensed there was too much excitement for me. Wow. And having them all in here. It’s part of it, it’s part of it, but I thought you might need a little break from coming out. Yeah, I wanted us to talk for a moment. Just the two of us.

Hmm.

So, I have cleared your calendar for the day. You obviously had my assistant go along with this. Well, Lillian knows how hard working you are as a boss, and so she was happy to help. And Jude’s sleeping? Actually not, he’s not here and he won’t be for a couple of hours because my mom is on grand babysitting duties.

We have the place to ourselves. Listen, I just want to give you a proper Valentine’s Day. Because I feel bad for conking out on you. Well. This is the perfect Valentine’s Day redo do over. And I’m just grateful that you did it for me. You’ve been working a lot. You’re a new mom. And I know how tough it can be.

But I wanted to make sure you know how important you are to me. Happy Valentine’s Day, my love. Happy Valentine’s Day. Look, Clyde, I’m well aware that Harris woke up. I was at the hospital when it happened. Yeah, so I heard. You and Ava both. So if you know that, then you know Harris doesn’t remember who shot him, so I’m in the clear.

In the clear? Do you think that because Michaels can’t remember you shooting a gun at him, that that lets you off the hook with me? Why wouldn’t it? Because I told you, in no uncertain terms, the last time we spoke, that you need to finish the job. That if Michael somehow regained consciousness, it was your job to make sure he lost it again.

Permanently. So unless you want to disappoint me more than you already have, you’re gonna finish the job, dammit. And you’re gonna do it today. Look,

I didn’t forget what you said, but it’s not like I can waltz into that hospital and shoot the guy. You seem to be under the impression that you have a choice. He is under 24 7 surveillance. And you know that. Which means, as long as Harris Michaels is in that hospital bed, he is untouchable, so how the hell am I supposed to kill him?

The how part is really easy. And I’ve already taken care of that. I’m pretty sure even you can’t screw it up. Close your eyes. And close my eyes, yes? Yes, of course. Okay, now I’m back to English. Now, we’ve been walking up and down the alley looking for this one cafe. Okay. And then, boom, something appears right on Rue Teilhard.

We take our seats, the waiter greets us. Ah, bonjour, monsieur, mademoiselle. Bonjour, monsieur. I, I tell the waiter, I was like, oh, pardonnez moi, my French is a little rusty. And then he smiles, he doesn’t mind. And then he welcomes us to the The finest café in Paris. Oh, wow. C’est très belle ici. It’s light. It’s the delicious aroma of all the French delicacies.

Escargot, quiche Lorraine, bouffe aux guignols. Oui, oui, oui. Et maintenant, il est temps pour un peu d’eau. À votre santé, mon chéri. Sante. Oh, Abe. I feel so lucky. Oh, have my beautiful daughters here with me. And you. My darling husband.

We are the lucky ones. And, hey, I know you’re dealing with your own issues. And, yet, yeah, in spite of all that, Still here with all of us here for, for all of us.

100 percent day and night. I don’t know how you do it. I’ll tell you my secret. Love. I love you, Pomona. That’s what motivates me. Our family. It’s the most important thing in my life. And you? You are the most important person in my life.

Mama was so happy to see you both. Me too. You came at exactly the right time when we all needed you the most. Well, we need you too. I mean, what mom was going through, what you’re going through. Yeah, it’s been tough, but mom is being really brave. Chanel, how serious was that heart attack? Um, it was pretty serious.

It was bad enough that she may need a new heart. A heart transplant. Yeah, it’s not definite yet, but Kayla said that it is a possibility. Okay, well, we will deal with that when we know more. Um, you got married in the middle of all of this? Mhm. Um, Mama, she was feeling pretty down about the wedding possibly having to be postponed due to her surgery being moved up, and so then Johnny came up with the idea to just have a small ceremony here.

That’s great. Um I know Mama would just enjoy every moment. Oh yeah, she was so excited. We all were. Abe officiated. I guess that. How are you doing? I’m doing okay. You know, like I said, Mama, she’s being stoic and brave. So I’m just trying to do the same. At least, you know, in front of her. But I’m really really grateful that you guys are here, and I know that the twins can’t see mama right now But I think that just knowing that they’re close by will lift her spirits because it’s definitely lifting mine I can’t wait to hang out with those little munchkins.

Oh, you’ll definitely get a chance lots of chances Is there anything we could do right now? No, just just Being here, really. You know, we can take turns sitting with mama, so if you and dad want to go and shower and do whatever you need to do. Thank you. Thank you. That will be super helpful. Yeah, and I think we just have to keep positive energy.

Well, that’s what we’re going to do, as a family. As a family. Okay, we’re going to get through this.

I just can’t believe how quickly you pulled it all together. I have my ways. I just wanted you to know how much you mean to me. Not how much I love you and our family.

I love you too, Eric Brady. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. You and our son. Wait. Wait. What? What is it? Just

wait a minute, okay? What are you hiding behind your bag? I think I am ready for my valentine’s day present. Oh. I

think I’m ready too. And don’t you go anywhere. I wouldn’t dream of it. Right,

here’s some ice chips, mama. Oh, thank you, sweetheart. Well, uh, uh, Lonnie and Ela. Oh, uh, they’re checking in with Julie and making sure the twins haven’t torn the house up yet. Oh, you know what, um I think I’m gonna go get a cup of coffee. I’ll be right back.

Oh, Mama. Can you believe that Lonnie is here? It’s a miracle. I can’t wait to cook us all a big family dinner. Okay, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We need to get you feeling better before you start cooking up a storm. Ooh, hold up now. If anybody’s going to be cooking up a storm, it’s going to be me.

We’re working on some recipes that I think will be price approved. Oh, Eli. Let me, let me, let me. Look at you,

I was just seeing you and my sweet Lonnie today. I was so good for my soul. Not that having Chanel and Johnny and Abraham. Yeah, pretty much day and night hasn’t been wonderful and comforting, but now it feels complete. My husband, my kids, my grandkids, oh, close by, oh, it already feels like my heart is getting stronger.

Cause it’s, Just so ill to the brim with love.

A package will be arriving shortly. Do you hear me? Yeah, I hear you. Inside you’ll find a vial and a syringe. You’ll inject the contents of the vial into Michael’s IV bag. And then what? A man will suffer what will appear to be a fatal heart attack. And that will be that. And just so we’re clear, when this is done, you and I were square, right?

Come on, Stefan. You’re smarter than that. Just do the job, and don’t screw it up.

Find anything yet? No, not yet. I just need to study this more closely. There must be something here that can give us a clue as to where they took Tripp and Wendy. I’m just gonna take it apart frame by frame.

Okay, so now You’re right, he’s still young, is he not? Oui. So, what next? How about a stroll along the Seine? You know, Paris at night, I’m there for you. As I close your eyes, it’s gonna be spooky. Okay. I will film, I miss you. Hey, mental mom. You see the Eiffel Tower twinkling in the distance? I do see it.

Magnifique. Oh, that sure was a cold wind off the river. Let me warm you up, ma chérie. Merci beaucoup, mon amour.

Happy belated Valentine’s Day. Same deal. Will you promise me that we’re not ever gonna go this long again without some us time? I think we can talk my mom into babysitting this morning. Now that, you know, she reviews in a routine. Maybe some sleepover action as well? It’s something we can work on, alright?

Let’s All right, yeah.

You found the coffee, I see. Yeah, I did. And I am just so glad to have a moment alone with you. Can I have a hug, Dad? Oh, of course, of course. Oh, honey, honey, I’m so happy to have you home.

Yeah, me too. I’m just I’m really worried about her. Oh, sweetheart. We all are. But she’s so strong. Yeah. And we’re trying to be positive. Optimistic. Right. Yeah, um. How are you doing, Dad? I assume you want to know if I remember my past. I still don’t. But there is one thing. One thing that I do know. I’m so lucky to be your father.

Best father anyone could ask for. It means so much to me. And speaking of fathers. Where is the father of my twin grandbabies, huh? He’s with mom. He wanted to show her pictures of the babies. Oh, she’ll be loving that. So are you going to plan on staying here in Salem for a while? That’s the plan right now.

But Eli is being considered for a new job in D. C. It would be a really great opportunity. We both have mixed feelings about not being here in Salem.

Anyways, right now, I just, I want to focus on mom, and I want to focus on being here for you and Chanel. I appreciate that. I need another hug. Definitely, definitely, definitely, definitely. Oh, honey. Your mother. Your mother is going to make it. She has to. Yeah. This is the

best news ever. Oh my. Would, would tomorrow be too soon, or can I come by? No, sure I can be there. No, I will be there. Yeah, I’m, I’m so happy for you. Alright, I’ll see you then. I’m, I’m so sorry. That wasn’t cool. And? She and Holly, they’re back. And Holly’s awake. Wow. That’s great news. No, it is a miracle. So this is it, huh?

This is how it ends.

Neat. Clean. Easy.

And then curtains down for hers, Michaels.

You know, Tripp is the most important person in my life. I’m so proud of the man that he’s become. He’s a good person. You know, he gets that from his dad.

He gets a lot from you too, Ava. Yeah, what? My sparkling personality? I’m pretty sure he gets some of his strength from you. Yeah, well I wish I felt strong right now. Listen, Ava, we’re going to find our son. Come hell or high water, we’re going to find him and Wendy and bring him home.

I’m trying super hard to be positive. And our trip to Paris definitely helped, but we’re still stuck in this godforsaken tank. Are we ever going to get out of here? I mean, what happened? Shh. No, no, there’s no what ifs. There’s no what ifs, okay? We are going to be found and rescued. Okay, I know that. I know that.

Hey, we just, we have to wait. We have to, we have to be patient. Hey, I, I, I, I love you. Wait. I can’t, I can’t wait to take you to Paris for real, okay? I damn well will. You promise? I promise. Je promets. Très bien, mon amour.

This, this is the ice cream incident that I was telling you about. I had no idea how powerful Rocky Roe was until this moment. Even Messy as can be, so beautiful, so beautiful. I see you’re showing off the babies. Yes, I am. Oh, and it’s too bad you only have about 50 million photos of them. Oh, more than that.

And I’m sure Julie will have taken even more and will have a full report for us of all their shenanigans. Mama, are you okay? I’m just happy to see Lonnie. Oh, uh, Disa. These are, I treasure these moments. They mean, they’re so precious. Mama, we are going to have a whole lot of time together. All of us. Yeah, we definitely will.

I mean, I’m personally looking forward to Alani coming home. And God will answer more of our prayers with your, your kind and generous heart.

That’s right. This family, we need you, Mama. We need you to stick around for a long, long time. You got that?

Got it. Oh, I love you my darlings. I love you so much.

[ Christine gasps ]

Christine: Yes! Hi! I’m so glad you called.

Nina: Of course i called, silly. Whenever I’m in town, you’re at the top of my list of people to seE. I love you so much.

Christine: Thank you. Thank you. How long are you in town for?

Nina: Uh, a few days. I’ve got some meetings in new york next week. And it gave me an excuse to pop in and check up on chance and see how he’s doing at chancellor-winters.

Christine: Bumped into him once or twice. Still not really used to that business suit.

Nina: Ah! I just hope that he’s thriving because I, personally, am over the moon that my son finally has a job that won’t get him shot.

Christine: It’s gotta be such a relief.

Nina: It is.

Christine: So, you know that gcpd, um, they lost a good guy when chance walked away.

Nina: Oh, he had a great run in law enforcement. And I couldn’t be more proud of what he’s achieved. But I do not regret his career change. Jill better keep him happy or else.

Christine: Listen, the– the timing of your trip, it’s– it’s perfect. I could use a friend.

Nina: Because of danny?

Christine: How’d you guess?

Nina: So, tell me again, what happened with you two?

Christine: Look, phyllis.

Danny: No, the dates are great. I’m– I’m really excited about moving the tour up and getting back out there in front of a live audience. We’ve got the new material from the album I’m dying to try out on the fans, so, fantastic. All right, so, yeah, I’ll wait for the itinerary and then, uh, I’ll start my packing. Okay, thanks so much. Bye.

Phyllis: Wait a second, you’re going on tour? I mean, when– now? When we’re so close to getting back together?

Nikki: Oh, my goodness. How gorgeous. Victor… “thank you for being a friend still. Best, seth.” Oh, my gosh. Um, larry, you can wait out in the foyer. Please close the door behind you.

[ Line ringing ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Seth: Nikki?

Nikki: I got your flowers. Completely unnecessary, but they’re beautiful.

Seth: Yeah, well, it’s the least I could do. I mean, you could have pushed me away when I needed someone to talk, but instead you were kind and that really meant a lot to me. So, thanks again.

Nikki: You’re welcome. And thank you.

Seth: Hey, uh, since I got you on the phone, I got some news.

Nikki: Oh? What is it?

Seth: Uh, you feel like grabbing coffee? Crimson lights?

Nikki: Now?

Seth: If you’re available, I think you’ll really be pleased by what I have to tell you. And I’m not drinking.

Nikki: Well, if you don’t mind a bodyguard hovering nearby, I would be happy to meet with you.

Seth: Great. So I’ll see you in a bit.

Victor: Well, now look at that.

Victoria: Hi, daddy.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Victoria: We just came from showing claire her guest suite.

Victor: Wow. Everything to your liking?

Claire: It’s the most amazing bedroom I’ve ever seen, yet it still manages to feel so warm and cozy. And the bathroom even has a sauna, and the closet…

Cole: It’s a pretty good size, huh?

Claire: It’s enormous. My little wardrobe will fit in a corner.

Victoria: Well, I know that the ranch can be pretty overwhelming at first.

Claire: The place is like a fantasy. The grounds, the house, the pool.

Victoria: You should see the little spring-fed lake. I don’t know if you did, but nick and I, we used to look for frogs and turtles when we were kids.

Victor: Well, I suggest you have your parents show you around the ranch. Do you ride?

Claire: No, but…

Victor: No?

Claire: …I’ve always wanted to learn.

Cole: Well, there are plenty of people around to teach you.

Victor: Certainly.

Cole: And the trails are beautiful, especially in the winter.

Claire: I am so grateful to be able to stay here. Thank you.

Victoria: No, you don’t have to thank us.

Victor: You know, once this whole saga with that jordan woman has come to an end, um, you can decide where you want to stay. With your parents or here. You’re a newman now. That will never change. The chewy app has everything for petS.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Claire: I hope to live up to your faith in me. Prove myself worthy.

Cole: Well, that’s not how family works. You don’t need to prove a thing.

Victor: But you already have. By being willing to help us capture your aunt and bring her to justice.

Claire: I want that as much as you do. All of the therapy has helped me to see the truth about that woman. I hate what she’s done to me. To all of you. The thought of her makes me sick.

Victoria: Still, jordan did raise you. You don’t feel any kind of a connection to her?

Claire: Not since that day in the cabin. I got her gun away from her. If nikki hadn’t stopped me… jordan is the person who took me from my family. That’s all she’ll ever be to me. A threat to be dealt with. I need to protect you all the way you’re protecting me.

Victoria: I can’t thank you enough for that.

Victor: Well, I already started the ball rolling. The news of your release from memorial hospital has hit the media. And once your aunt gets wind of it, I’m sure that she will respond.

Christine: Okay, so, you know, this started before the holidays.

Nina: Phyllis’s shenanigans.

Christine: Oh, that is way too nice of a word for what she’s been pulling.

Nina: You’re right, I’m sorry, I forgot who we were talking about. The original queen of bad behavior.

Christine: I tried to take the high road for as long as I could because things were fine. You know, they were better than fine. Christmas was amazing. And then we were gonna take that weekend getaway.

Nina: Oh, that would have been so romantic.

Christine: Oh, which sent phyllis into orbit.

Nina: No, of course it did. What did she do?

Christine: She just doesn’t want us to be happy. So she stirred up that whole social media thing, timed it so I walked in and saw their kiss. I mean, after that happened, I couldn’t very well ignore her.

Nina: She got under your skin.

Christine: Yes, yes, but don’t you see? I promised that I would never let myself do this again. But I’m telling you, that woman!

Nina: I know, believe me.

Christine: I was acting like this jealous schoolgirl. Not a good look, especially with danny. He’s never seen me act insecure, and I think it really rattled him.

Nina: No, you were fresh off a divorce, feeling more vulnerable than usual, and phyllis knew it. She pushed all your buttons.

Christine: And ever since then, it has been nonstop drama. Phyllis acts out, I put her in her place, and we wind up at each other’s throats.

Nina: Well, please, will you let me strangle her?

Christine: Oh, come on, you have no idea how tempted I am. But, no, I’m serious. This has gotten really bad. Danny’s backed away from both of us. He can’t handle the conflict, and unfortunately, phyllis gets to me, I play right into it, and I am driving him away all by myself.

Nina: I’m so sorry. I should have come back sooner and snapped you out of this.

Christine: No, that judge should have put phyllis away for killing stark. We would have all been so much better off without her.

Nina: I know, I agree. You know, you can’t give up on this. That’s not the cricket I know.

Danny: You just can’t leave it alone, can you? You refuse to accept reality.

Phyllis: Hey, listen, danny. Okay. Look–

Danny: No, I want you to stop, okay? All right? Nothing has changed. We are not– I repeat– we are not getting back together. I don’t have romantic feelings for you. We are friends, coparents. That’s it!

Phyllis: Well, I know this. I know there’s something between us.

[ Danny sighs ] And it’s very, very powerful. I feel it. Listen, when I look at you and christine, there’s no spark. It’s like watching paint dry.

Danny: Which is the other reason why we’re not gonna have this conversation. Because I do not want to be this dodgeball that you two keep throwing at each other.

Phyllis: Well, that’s a bad metaphor. Because if it were dodgeball, christine would be on the floor by now.

Danny: Okay, that’s not funny.

Phyllis: It’s a little bit funny.

Danny: No, it’s not.

Phyllis: Hey, listen to me. I know your hesitation. I understand it. I didn’t expect this either. It caught me by surprise. I didn’t expect you to walk into my life at this late date and feel this way.

Danny: I’m not buying a word you’re saying.

Phyllis: I’m completely sincere.

[ Danny scoffs ] I am. Hey, listen. You have two women fighting over you. I mean, one of them happens to be me– lucky you.

Danny: Oh, so you think this is flattering? Well, guess what? It’s exhausting. It really is. And I just can’t handle all this pettiness. So, yeah, I’ve added dates. I’m moving up the second part of the tour, and it’s time that I leave genoa city.

Phyllis: Well, those dates can’t be set in stone. They can be changed. You know that. Is there anything I can do to change your mind?

Danny: Not a single thing. My dry eye’s made me a burning,

Phyllis: Well, I guess that’s decided. You’re leaving to go on tour. Well, that’s that.

Danny: Yeah. 100%.

Phyllis: Well, I guess my loss is your fans’ gain. Right? And I’m sure they’ll all enjoy listening to you and watching you perform. Hearing all of your new songs. Especially that one that we collaborated on. Yeah.

Phyllis: So, when do you leave?

Danny: Two weeks. Yeah.

Phyllis: It’s so soon.

Danny: Not soon enough for me. I need a break from my break, which really wasn’t restful at all.

Phyllis: Okay, well, at least can we have dinner together before you leave?

Danny: I–

Phyllis: A fond farewell? I– I don’t– I don’t think that’s a good idea.

Phyllis: Okay, no strings attached, just a goodbye dinner.

Danny: Phyllis, I–

Phyllis: Just– really, just a dinner with me. To say goodbye. Before I have to share you with the rest of the world.

Danny: Okay. Fine. We’ll, uh, yeah, we’ll set something up in a week or so.

Phyllis: How about tonight?

Nina: Cricket, you cannot throw in the towel ’cause then phyllis wins, and that’s unacceptable.

Christine: All right, well, listen. I’m not only upset with phyllis. I mean, I’m not loving how danny’s handling this either.

Nina: What do you mean?

Christine: Well, he insists on being supportive and treating her like a friend. He’s buying into this nonsense that she’s changed. It’s ludicrous.

Nina: It is ludicrous. He knows who phyllis is just as much as you do.

Christine: Yeah, you’d think, right? But she plays on his sympathies. She milks it for all it’s worth. And she looks for any little sign that he’s being decent toward her. Like that could mean something, and, you know, danny’s not helping, saying that he cares for both of us.

Nina: Oh, you can’t believe that. I mean, that he could see her that way? No.

Christine: The fact that he could have any sort of attraction for her is– it’s so disturbing. I just– I have so many doubts right now.

Nina: Okay. Do give up.

Christine: What?

Nina: Sort of. I mean, don’t necessarily give up entirely, but just back away. Throw yourself into work or some interesting project. Just be busy. Create some distance. Basically be nowhere to be found on the planet.

Christine: I– I– I– I see what you’re saying.

Nina: Just let danny know, with your actions, that he’s in danger of losing you again. And then it’ll be up to him whether to cross that gap you’ve created to prevent that.

Christine: Dating coach?

Nina: No, I’ve just been studying, you know, romantic dynamics for my storytelling purposes and just picked up a few tried-and-true methods to get things back on track.

Christine: I see.

Nina: Now, I know it’s gonna sound counterintuitive. You’re used to being in charge of everything all the time. So it’s gonna take some willpower on your part. But I guarantee it’ll have an impact on danny. Because you are the object of his desire. You always have been. When he sees you pulling away, he’s gonna realize what’s at stake and get with the program.

Nikki: Good morning, esther.

Esther: Nikki, hi. It’s so nice to see you. Uh… that man behind you, is he your bodyguard?

Nikki: Yes, he is.

Esther: Well, wha– what does that mean? A– a– are you in danger? I– I wa– I wasn’t trained for anything like this. I– is– is there gonna be trouble?

Nikki: No, I’m not anticipating any.

Esther: Oh, that’s good. I think.

Nikki: So, I would like a hot tea, please, raspberry and bring an extra one for larry here. Everything will be fine. Thank you for your concern.

Esther: Oh, well, you’re like family to me, nikki. Of course I worry.

Seth: Hi. You got here quick.

Nikki: Well, newman tower is not far from here.

Seth: All right, well, thanks for freeing up some time to meet with me.

Nikki: Well, when you said you had news, I couldn’t help but be curious.

Seth: Yeah. Um, before we get to that, what’s the deal with the guard, if I may ask? I mean, what– is it about that ordeal you went through with the women force-feeding you vodka?

Nikki: Yeah, I’m afraid it is. The mastermind has escaped from prison, and she’s made it clear that she’s not done torturing us yet.

Seth: That’s terrible.

Nikki: Yes, well, i finally convinced my husband that I shouldn’t be a prisoner in my own home because of it, so we decided that I can get out and about again as long as larry escorts me.

Seth: Okay. Well, I’m glad you’re being careful.

Nikki: I have to admit I do feel safer with him around.

Seth: Yeah. Wow. I just feel like my mind’s blown that this woman would even be foolish enough to come after you again.

Nikki: Well, she’s insane, and she is obsessed with me paying for things that happened decades ago, things that I had no part in.

Jordan: All right, claire. Where are you now? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Nikki: Thank you, esther.

Esther: Oh, you’re welcome.

Seth: So this woman who did that to you, what– what was her name again?

Nikki: I’d rather not talk about her. It’s too upsetting.

Seth: Okay. Understood.

Nikki: So, what’s this news of yours?

Seth: All right, all right, all right, all right, all right. I’m starting to realize that just going to meetings and talking to my sponsor is not cutting it, and if i really want to kick the booze altogether, I’m gonna admit myself to rehab.

Nikki: Oh, seth, that’s wonderful.

Seth: Yeah. Truth is, I think that’s my only hope. I mean, I thought that reconnecting with you and getting your forgiveness was gonna push me to sobriety, and that’s what isabel encouraged me to try, but I really think I need more structured help.

Nikki: Mm. Well, I’m glad you’re taking charge of your recovery in such a strong way.

Seth: Yeah. I’m ready, you know? It just– it feels right.

Nikki: So, this isabel, I assume you’re talking about that same woman that you mentioned last time?

Seth: Yeah, from aa.

Nikki: I– I really can’t place her from my meetings. I– I don’t recognize that name.

Seth: She was probably starting to avoid you.

Nikki: Why would she be avoiding me?

[ Seth exhales sharply ]

Jordan: “Claire grace has been released from medical treatment at genoa city memorial hospital into the care of cole howard and victoria newman, daughter of… titan victor newman. Rumor has it that the young woman is howard and newman’s daughter.” Oh, my god. They’re taking her in. Making her one of their own. Claire, don’t you see what’s going on? They’re going to destroy you the same way they destroyed my sister.

Victor: Just know that once the story hits the news outlets, um, newman media will do an in-depth piece on the three of you, all right? And they will talk about the newest newman and the fact that both your parents have found you again after thinking that you had been buried.

Claire: You’re going public with this now? The whole world’s gonna know who I am?

Victoria: We weren’t planning on keeping it a secret forever, just until, you know, things settled down and we could get a handle on it.

Cole: Claire, you didn’t think we were ashamed, did you? Because nothing could be further from the truth.

Claire: This all feels strange. Jordan insisted my whole life that we keep my identity under wraps.

Victor: I promise you that from now on she will control none of your life.

Victoria: Do you feel ready? To handle the change?

Claire: I have no idea what this is gonna mean.

Victoria: Well, we’re all gonna be there to help you through this, I promise.

Cole: Claire, once this story hits, there’s going to be a lot going on. There’s gonna be a lot of attention focused on the three of us, but especially you. I mean, it’s the kind of revelation that every news outlet is gonna want to put their own spin on.

Victor: Your father’s right, okay? They’ll come at you from all sides, wanting interviews, tv appearances, et cetera.

Victoria: We will do our best to shield you, and I’m gonna prepare johnny and katie so that nobody’s blindsided by this.

Victor: Right. Newman media has an exclusive on this story, obviously. And nikki runs newman media. That way we keep control of it all.

Claire: Make sure it’s where jordan can’t miss it.

Victoria: Right, but this is more about you than it is her. This is our way of publicly cementing your place in the family.

Claire: Thank you for the heads-up. I’ll do my best to prepare myself.

Cole: Well, the first hurricane’s always the hardest. After a while, you’re handling them like a pro.

Claire: I do have one question. Why isn’t nikki here? Is she all right with me moving in? I would’ve called yesterday.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Victor: Claire, I want you to know that nikki is very much on board with you staying here.

Victoria: I’m curious too, dad. Where is mom this morning? I thought you were adamant about her staying at the ranch.

Victor: Yeah, I certainly was. However, your mother convinced me that it was good for her well-being to get away from the confines of the ranch for a while.

Cole: So, where is she now?

Victor: I want you all to know that there’s no problem, okay? I said to her, “if you go to the office, one of my security team will be at your side at all times.”

Seth: Okay, so, you and isabel were friends back in your drinking days, right, and then you got sober together, but then you had a falling out because she fell off the wagon, and stayed there– yeah.

Nikki: None of that ever happened. At least, not that I can remember. I have never known anybody with the name of isabel.

Seth: Really? Wow. I don’t really know what to say. I’m sorry I even brought it up.

Nikki: Why?

Seth: Like I said, she confided in me. She asked me not to bring up her name because it was such a slurred subject. And now I’ve betrayed her trust. I don’t know, I feel terrible. And I– I just– you know, because she was the one that encouraged me to patch things up with you.

Nikki: Remind me, what exactly did isabel say to you?

Seth: You know, I told you, she– she told me that i shouldn’t just assume that you would hate me or blame me for failing as your sponsor. And that I should give you credit for being compassionate.

Nikki: So she urged you to reach out to me, and get close again. What does she look like?

Seth: Uh, I mean, she’s about your age. Reddish hair, glasses.

Nikki: Okay, now I know I have never met this woman. That description doesn’t fit anybody that I know. How did you two strike up this conversation? And– and how did my name get brought up?

Seth: I mean, she approached me, and she said we had a friend in common. And she said your name.

Nikki: How did she know who you were? How did she know that you knew me?

Christine: I’ve come so close to walking away. And I know danny threatened to do that himself, but I just can’t believe that either one of us want to just leave this on a bad note.

Nina: No. I can’t imagine that either. I mean, the man’s carried a torch for you for how many years? I honestly think that if you give him a little incentive, he’ll get going in the right direction.

Christine: Yeah, look, one thing’s for certain. This situation with phyllis has to end, I cannot put up with her garbage anymore. It’s time to draw a line in the sand.

Danny: Please don’t pressure me, phyllis. This is exactly what I’m trying to get away from.

Phyllis: It’s not what I’m doing, I swear.

Danny: Well, it’s a good imitation.

Phyllis: I happen to have this evening off. I’m free all evening, actually. Which is very rare for me, because I have a very full social calendar. I’m not a hermit.

Danny: Never said you were.

Phyllis: And don’t you want to get it over with anyway? Just do it, get it out of the way, so you can get back to going over your set list and, you know, finalizing everything for the tour. You must have a million and one things to attend to between now and then, right?

Danny: Yeah, your argument, uh, does make a lot of sense. So…

Phyllis: Okay.

Danny: Okay. Let’s do it.

Phyllis: Okay.

Danny: Dinner. I’m gonna get the check. One second. Excuse me. Hey, hi. Can I just get the check? Thank you.

Phyllis: I just have one final request. Ugh, I can’t wait to get out of here…

Danny: All right, look. I know where this is going, all right? We are not having a private dinner at your place, or mine either. I’m not falling for this.

Phyllis: Okay. We’ll have to buy out an entire restaurant for you to do what I have in mind.

Danny: Don’t go there, okay?

Phyllis: I’m not thinking of anything risqué. Not in public, anyway. What I want you to do is cook for me.

Victor: Well, claire, I’m gonna leave you in your mother’s capable hands. She’ll give you the rest of the tour.

Claire: I’d love that.

Victoria: Where are you off to?

Victor: I’m gonna meet with security. And why don’t you join me, meet the new supervisor, all right?

Cole: That sounds good.

Victor: Okay.

Victoria: All right, see you later.

Victor: Bye-bye.

Claire: Bye.

Victoria: Uh, you know, I thought maybe next we could head to the kitchen, and check that out. You hungry for anything?

Claire: Not just yet.

Victoria: All right.

Claire: Um, hey.

Victoria: Yeah?

Claire: I get the feeling you still have issues with this arrangement.

Victoria: No, no, not at all. Just– just with my dad’s plan. I’m thrilled that you’re out of the hospital, and you’re finally getting to know your family. I know it’s gonna be challenging at times, but, um, I hope you can feel how sincere everyone is about welcoming you home. Even your new grandfather.

Claire: It just amazes me, thinking about having two brothers and a sister. It was, uh– it was lonely, growing up with just jordan around.

Victoria: You know that was never supposed to be your life.

Claire: From my research, I– I know basic things, like how old they are, stuff like that. But I want to know everything. What do we have in common? What do we not have in common? If you think they’ll ever accept me…

Victoria: Oh, they are going to accept you, don’t worry. And I have so many stories to tell you about them, you’re gonna beg me to stop.

[ Claire chuckles ]

Claire: I can’t wait.

Seth: Isabelle told me that she spent years in and out of aa. But she would show up late, and sit in the back, and then just leave before anyone noticed, you know. But she did say that she saw me speak a few times, so listening, she put the two together, that you and I know each other.

Nikki: Is it possible she was wearing a wig?

Seth: Uh, I– I guess it’s possible, I hadn’t really thought about it, it just– nikki, you’re not worried about this person, are you? You don’t– you don’t think that she’s the woman who gave you the alcohol I.V., Do you?

Nikki: I think it’s very possible.

[ Seth sighs ]

Seth: Oh, my god.

Nikki: So where did you two leave things?

Seth: I– I let her know that the meeting between you and I, you know, when we talked, that went great, at your place, and then– and then I– i saw her in person again, and she told me that I should just– just be there for you. But then she started texting me nonstop, and she just wanted any information between you and I, anything about us. And I just– I just never responded. ‘Cause you see, the thing is, we would always meet in a bar, and she was drinking too, and I just thought that since I decided to go to rehab, that it would probably be a bad idea for us to really see each other again.

Nikki: Yeah, okay, listen. The number that she texted you from, I need you to give it to me.

Seth: Yeah, well… what are you gonna do?

Nikki: I’m gonna find out if this is the same person who has been torturing me. And that’s why she wants you and me to get close again, so that she can use you as a cover to stalk me. If you would be willing to help.

Seth: Anything. Just say the word.

Nikki: String her along. Don’t ignore her texts. Keep her on the hook where I am concerned. And then get back to me, and tell me what came of it, if anything.

Seth: Consider it done.

Nikki: Thank you.

Seth: If you’re right about this, it’s despicable, and– she played me, and… I might have put you in even more danger.

Nikki: No, no. To the contrary. You may have just given me the upper hand.

[Coughing]

Nina: Okay, good. I’m glad you’re gonna take this first step. You just back away.

Christine: You’re right. I don’t like who I am in this situation. It’s time to end the cycle.

Nina: I agree. Do it.

Christine: Yep. Ah, voicemail.

Nina: It’s okay.

[ Inhales deeply ] Deep breath.

[ Christine sighs ]

Christine: Danny, hi. It’s me, I need to talk to you. Can we meet for drinks or dinner tonight? It’s important.

Danny: You want me to–

Phyllis: Cook for me. As a going-away present, even though you’re the one who’s leaving.

Danny: Tonight?

Phyllis: Yeah. Tonight. There’s plenty of time. We’ll just plan it out. And I want you to make the sauce. Your sauce. With pasta. I mean, christine got it. It’s only fair that I get to taste it too.

Danny: Okay, first of all, I’m not gonna rent an entire restaurant to make you a meal. I’m sorry.

Phyllis: Don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it. I’ll make the arrangements. You just give me a shopping list. I’ll get everything. And all you have to do is… cook, that’s it. Say goodbye. For now. To an old friend.

[ Danny chuckles ]

Jordan: Seth.

Seth: I was hoping I’d find you here. What aren’t you telling me? What are you trying to pull with nikki?

Victoria: Yeah, she played the piano, and, uh–

[ Both laughing ]

Claire: That’s so nice.

Nikki: Hello, claire.

Claire: Nikki, hi. It’s so good to see you.

Nikki: It’s good to see you too.

Claire: I hope you weren’t too startled that I’m actually here.

Nikki: Oh, no, no. I’ve been expecting you. Welcome to your new home.

Claire: Thank you.

Nikki: I’m sorry I wasn’t here to welcome you when you arrived.

Victoria: Dad explained that you went to the office. That must have felt really good.

Nikki: Ah, it’s wonderful to be out and about again.

Claire: Victoria’s been showing me around the ranch, helping me get settled.

Nikki: And how are you finding things?

Claire: I’ll probably get lost three times a day at first, but the ranch is amazing.

Nikki: I hope you’ll be very happy here.

Claire: I think I will be, eventually. But right now, I have jordan weighing on me. Wondering how victor’s plan to catch her is gonna unfold.

Nikki: Well, we may not have to wait much longer.

Victor: Well, hi, sweetheart. You’re home already.

Nikki: Hi.

Victor: So, how are you doing?

Nikki: I’m fine.

Victor: Good.

Victoria: What’s the latest?

Victor: Well, it seems pieces are falling into place. Now we need to release some more information to rile up jordan. That way we know she’ll contact you.

Cole: And it shouldn’t take much, a suspected arsonist and murderer on the run from the law. By now, she has, uh– she’s got to have a hair trigger.

Victor: Now, darling, I’m gonna give you this telephone. And per the judge’s ruling, this phone is monitored.

Claire: Okay. Thank you. How will jordan know to call me on this?

Nikki: I may have a way for you to contact her. And if I’m right, your aunt has already made her first mistake.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Chance: What do you think I’m in the mood for?

Summer: I’m hoping it’s the same thing I am.

Hilary: Wow, this must be the famous mamie johnson. It is an honor to finally meet you.

Christine: So just like that, you’re– you’re leaving? Are you really ready to give up on us?

Seth: We will go outside. And we can call nikki together.

Jordan: Go on. Make the call. I’m looking forward to the reunion.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

okay, I got all the balloons set up in the foyer. Great. Wow. When you throw a party, you go all-out, don’t you? What? Do you think it’s too much? No. Scout’s gonna love it. Well, I don’t mean just the balloons. I mean, you know, all of it. It’s not like you have a 100-foot bouncy house outside with ponies walking around. Well, we do have two horses and an alpaca. Because they live here in the stable where they belong. And, hey, you want scout to feel at home on her birthday, and this is your home. Okay, great. I guess I just missed out on so much time with her, I — any chance I get, holidays, birthdays… tuesdays. [ Laughs ] …I just want to hold on with both hands and never let go. Great. You should do that. You should hold onto that. You should stay present with your daughter. You can’t do that if you’re focused on revenge, you know? I didn’t even mention nina’s name. You didn’t have to. I could hear you thinking about it. Okay. All right. Well, hey, thank you for snapping me out of it, making me focus on what’s important.

[ Sam laughs ] Dad, I can’t believe it. There are so many balloons by the front door. They’re all for you! Happy birthday. Happy birthday. Hey, mom. Thank you for coming by on zero notice. I have a ton of work to do for deception tonight. Well, you know that I would move heaven and earth to spend time with my grandchildren. But as thrilled as I am to be here, I have to ask, why isn’t spinelli available? Because I sent him packing. Chase. Hey, what do you got? I just talked to the officer on duty. Assault and battery. The victim was brought here for treatment. I tried to question him just to see what was going on, but the guy’s not talking. No I.D., Didn’t even give us his name.

[ Telephone rings in distance ] Well, I know who that is. That’s selina wu’s bodyguard. Everything ready? All right, keep me posted. Thanks. Something you want to ask me? Go ahead. Really? You haven’t exactly been forthcoming of late. You didn’t say anything to me yesterday after your talk with nina. Well, I’m sure nina’s going to tell you all about it. But if you want to ask me directly…? Agent cates, please come in. What can I do for you? I want sonny corinthos out of my life. For good. And you’re going to help me.


Where’s the guest of honor? I’m right here, grandma. Hello, cookie. Happy birthday. Are all those presents for me? And there’s more in the car. Thank you, grandma. You’re welcome. I can’t take all the credit, though, ’cause some of them are from tj and molly. Where are aunt molly and uncle tj? They both have very mean bosses that wouldn’t let them off of work. Hey, danny, jake, why don’t you get the rest of the presents out of the car, will you? You want to grab that? I’ll take these. Thank you. Want that one? Cool. Come on, danny. Danny: On it. Okay. And then, yeah, I’ll put these with the rest of the presents. Alexis: Let’s go. Yeah. Come on.Carly: Hi. So, where’s dante? Oh, um, he couldn’t get off of work yet, but I think he’s going to try and make it by later. Okay. Anyway, since — since it’s just you and me now… mm? I wanted to let you know — I don’t know, but it seems like drew’s a little bit more relaxed. You think so? Yeah. Mm. Yeah, I mean, we talked before. He had a really hard time coming out of pentonville after everything that happened there. But, yeah, I-I really think he’s, um, slowly but definitely moving past it. That’s good. Dante: What’s he saying? All right. Someone called 911 to report a disturbance on the pier. When the officers arrived at the scene, they interrupted a fight between two guys. One, mr. Li, had been badly beaten, and the attacker appeared to be going in for the kill when the officers identified themselves as the police. The attacker then fled on foot. Luckily, they apprehended him, and he’s in lockup now. Oh, so they I.D.’D the attacker? Well, that’s where things get interesting. Li’s assailant is another one of selina wu’s guys. Goes by morris. Wow. Then this wasn’t random. Infighting in selina wu’s organization. What does that mean? I think it means everything’s about to get much more dangerous. Anna: Agent cates, I wonder if you would like to take a look around. And you might notice, then, that this is the office of the port charles commissioner of police. Okay — and then you might come to the conclusion that the individual occupying said office is, in fact, the port charles police commissioner. And you would be right. And who doesn’t love to be right? Obviously, the port charles commissioner of police likes it a lot. Oh, she likes it a lot. In fact, it’s one of her favorite pastimes. So, do we need to have a discussion about the meaning of jurisdiction, like, over a nice cup of tea or something? Or is there some other way that I might assist you? I apologize. I accept. I had a bear of a day, and I shouldn’t have taken it out on you. But you did. And it does seem to be a bit of a pattern. It is? Yeah. You barged in on my operation at pentonville and tried to shut it down. I had a legitimate reason to request you leave my witness alone. You didn’t request. That was a demand. And you accused me of obstructing my own investigation. Oh, I-I shouldn’t have questioned your integrity. I’m sorry. Uh, I was not expecting you to apologize. Like ever. I didn’t expect you to apologize. So it’s a banner day for both of us. Look. You’ve always been good friends with robin, and I respect that friendship. So there’s really no reason for us to be at odds with each other like this. Oh, I can think of one reason. But our difference of opinion over sonny aside, I do respect you. And I — oh. [ Chuckles ] I want to say thank you. For what? For talking me down when I barged in here acting like I owned the place, and for at least trying to defuse the tension between us. I want us to be able to work together. I want that, too. Why don’t we make it happen? What goes on between you and nina is your business. I just want you to know that my friendship with her doesn’t mean that I’m choosing sides, you know? I’m — I’m staying out of it. Wise decision.

[ Knock on door ] ‘Cause you know nothing’s more important right now than dante. Not nina. All right, well, I’ll be sure to tell her that. Come on in, spinelli. Oh, thank you. When, uh — when you summon me, I, uh… I assume you must be finally taking me up on my offer to instruct you in the ways of dungeons and dragons. No, you can talk — you can talk in front of ava. As you wish. All systems are go for tonight. “All systems,” huh? What’s happening tonight? Tonight, I am bringing my enemy down to his knees. I mean, can you believe spinelli? He knows everything that happened with austin and peter, and yet he still lied to me so easily. Uh, it sounds like his heart was in the right place — oh, his heart had nothing to do with it. This? This was his savior complex. Can you imagine anything more insulting? Uh, yeah — yes, okay, for sure. But he still lied. And I know I’ve told my fair share of fibs in the past, but I just — I can’t believe spinelli would manipulate me this way! That’s not what happened. What’s not what happened? It wasn’t spinelli’s idea to move in with you and help you with your finances. It was mine.


Willow: Hey. Hey. Wait, weren’t there more children at this party? Where’s my daughter? Uh, scout wanted to see the horses and the alpacas. So wiley and leo are, in leo’s words, co-hosting a tour of the stables. Okay, but cody’s there, right? Yeah. Okay. Perfect. And you and jake finished bringing in your grandmother’s presents? Turns out it was a one-man job, so anything else I can do? No, I think everything else is under control. Just go have fun. Cool. I, uh, left my coat down in the stables. I’ll be back. He leaves that coat everywhere. Hi, auntie. Hi! H-hi. I — h-hello. Hi, danny. You remembered my name. Of course I did.

[ Both chuckle ] Sam: Krissy! Kristina: Hi, sis. Hi. Mwah. Hey. Hi. Hi. Hello. So, I think most of you know blaze. My girlfriend. Yes. Of course. Blaze. It’s good to see you again. Oh. Great to see you. Willow. I think we met, though, at rice plaza. I remember. Nice to meet you again. Okay. Oh, good. I am glad that we have some time alone, because I want to talk to you about something. Great. What’s up? I understand this is a touchy subject, but I — I’m sure you heard that nina is now the publisher of the invader. I did hear that. How’s that going? Yeah, I have reservations. Many. She said that she was fired from crimson for personal reasons. Is that true? If you’re asking if this has anything to do with nina turning carly and me in to the sec — that’s exactly what I’m asking. Well, then the answer is yes. She was not acting as a concerned citizen trying to right a wrong. Her motivation was strictly vindictive. And if she can exploit federal law to her own ends, then should she really be running a major magazine? And as the owner of aurora, I just… felt like I couldn’t trust her judgment anymore. That sounds like something you’d say in a press release or in a court of law. Tell me what you really think. You and me, one on one? Mm-hmm. Someone as reckless and as self-absorbed as nina is capable of anything. If I were you, alexis, I would watch my back. Hmm. So it was your idea. All right. Explain. I knew that you were in financial trouble and that you wouldn’t take my help, even though you clearly needed it, and I had the means. Except you don’T. You kept dipping into your savings. Those were the means. But I couldn’t pay you back, because I’m a bad investment. That’s why I called spinelli. I knew you wouldn’t accept charity from anybody, so I had to get creative. Spinelli was helping me help you. Mom, you should have respected my boundaries. It was important to me that I be the one to fix my finances. I-I understand that, but I’m your mother. And I couldn’t just sit back and watch while you were struggling, maxie. Okay. Okay? Okay? What? Okay, I get that. I absolutely do not approve of your methods, but if I could see that my kids needed help, I am capable of doing much crazier things whether they would want me to or not. Yeah, no, I wouldn’t care. I would just do it. Then you forgive me? Absolutely. And spinelli. No way. What? Why? I mean, not that I’m complaining, but why are you so much angrier with spinelli than you are with me? Especially since it was my idea. Because, mom, spinelli is not my parent, and he doesn’t have the right to conspire with my mother to fix my finances. M-maybe not, but — no, no “maybe” about it. No, no, no, spinelli is family. He is the father of your oldest daughter and my oldest grandchild. And you know he would do anything for you. Except respect my autonomy. Because I told him to! Listen, maxie, you know you would do the same thing if the positions were reversed. That is precisely the problem. What, that you each care enough about each other to do anything for each other? No, that is not the problem. It’s because — because I — what? Because I fell in love with him again, mom! Spending all this time with him? Having him live in my house? It was — it was all under false pretenses. You and spinelli didn’t just meddle with my finances. You meddled with my heart. So whoever is targeting mr. Corinthos, sir — ow — uh, is expecting him to be holding a summit, building bridges, as it were, leaving them with an opportunity to take out both parties at once. Meanwhile, I’ll be monitoring the situation with cameras set up throughout the warehouse. Are you sure that’s selina’s guy, he did as you asked? Because li has betrayed her before. Yeah, uh, we made sure that li’s carrying out the orders. Good. Question. Go ahead. Isn’t it highly unlikely that this enemy is going to show up there himself? I mean, won’t he, too, be monitoring from a safe distance, letting his hired guns do the job for him? I’m counting on it. This assault on li sounds like a botched execution attempt, which means it relates to the fbi’s investigation that cates is running. Yeah, but only li can confirm that. Well, then let’s hope he’s able. And willing.


So, the presents are arranged. The kids are back from the stables. They’re mad at me — oh. H-hi. Hi. Uh, you’re, uh — jake, this is blaze, my girlfriend. Blaze, this is danny’s brother. Ah. Nice meeting you. Nice meeting you, too. Um, I-I’m, uh — jake. Could you track down danny and, uh, let him know it’s time for cake? He said he left his coat outside somewhere. Okay. Yeah. I, uh — yeah. 3, 2, 1.

[ Quiet chuckling ]

[ Carly laughing ]

[ Chuckles ] Drew. Hey. I was going to send out a search party for you. Oh. I was just making sure everything, uh, was — yeah. You okay? Yeah. Yeah, I thought I-I misplaced the pin the tail on the donkey, but I, uh — oh. I got them. There you go. Crisis averted. Yep. Hey, um, I was going to ask if you could do a favor for me. You can ask me anything. Always. I hope you know that. Well, nowadays, I’m not — I’m not sure about that. I mean, you’ve been having a pretty rough time ever since — yeah, it hasn’t exactly been, um, sunshine and rainbows. Is it ever? But I’m trying to focus more on the silver lining than the clouds, so… good. I’m glad to hear that. So, what did you want to ask me? Danny. He’s been having… uh, a really tough time lately. And I know it’s more than just, um, teenage boy stuff. It’s stuff — more than that? Yeah. And I guess what I wanted to say was, is there any way that you could talk to him? He trusts you, and I know he would confide in you. And I don’t think he would talk to me about anything like that. Y– I would be happy to. Are you kidding me? I’ll spend some time with him. Maybe I’ll — maybe I’ll take him to a game or something.

[ Sighs ] Okay. That sounds good. But are you sure you’re up for it? I-I don’t want to put too much on your plate. No. Look, I’m learning that it — it really helps focusing on somebody that means more to me than myself. So I’d be really happy to do that. You can count on me. Thank you. Okay. I appreciate it. Absolutely. Danny? Danny, you here? They’re going to cut the cake. Find your jacket? Yeah, I-I put in the car. It’s fine. You okay? Yeah, it’s — it’s just, it’s a kid’s party. Yeah, well, it’s cake time, so it’s, um —

[ Sniffs ] You smell something? Mm, no. It’s probably just the lake. Come on. No, no, it’s not that. It’s, um —

[ Sniffs ] It’s really, uh — it’s really sweet.

[ Sighs ] Despite our differences of opinion, I do understand your feelings toward sonny. With all due respect, I don’t think you do. Sonny corinthos is now the head of one of the most powerful organized crime syndicates on the east coast, so forgive me if I don’t buy into the narrative that underneath it all, he’s a really good guy. I wouldn’t say that he’s one of the good guys. I wouldn’t say that. But I also don’t think that you’ve taken his full measure. Meaning? Well, meaning that he’s not a saint, but he’s not a sadist who wants to destroy and torment people for sport. I just had a conversation with him that would suggest otherwise. Oh, is that why you came barging in here, demanding I get him out of your life? You’re good. Anybody ever tell you you should be a cop? Too often. All I’m saying is that perhaps you have issue with the man sonny used to be, rather than the man he is now. Mr. Li, I’m detective falconeri. This is detective chase. Can you tell us what happened to you tonight? Someone tried to kill me. Not just someone. One of your colleagues from selina wu’s organization.

[ Monitor beeping ] So I’m guessing, uh, this wasn’t the result of an argument gone bad? Right? Mr. Morris, we have in custody. He was following orders, right? I don’t talk to cops. Okay. Mr. Li, your boss wants you dead. Yeah. I mean, you walk out of here, you probably got days — hell, man, even hours to live, I’d say. Death comes to us all. Yeah, I-it does, but judging by how you look, I’m guessing you fought like hell to stay alive. So I’m not really buying your zen on dying thing you’re trying to sell us. How about this? We put in a call to the D.A. We make sure you’re protected.

[ Chuckles ] How comforting.

[ Chuckles ] You know what? You’re right. Talking to us is probably just going to buy you some time. A day, maybe another, maybe another after that, I don’t know. But keeping your mouth shut? I’m willing to bet you end up in an unmarked grave by the morning. So you tell me. What’s it gonna be? Sonny: I wish whoever’s targeting me would get in my face, but I know they’re too scared. So what’s the end game here? Somebody will be sent to eliminate me and selina. We’re going to grab them, and we’re going to, uh, let them take us to whoever’s behind the shooting, and this thing is going to end. When do we leave? We’re not going anywhere. Yes, we are. Spinelli? Hmm? Can you do me a favor? I think we’re done. I’ll keep you posted. Eagerly await your communication.

[ Door opens, shuts ] Okay, I appreciate what you’re doing. But you’re not part of this. Ava: On the contrary. If this plan of yours is going to work… …you need me.


Oh, maxie, I am so sorry. It — it never occurred to me that this would happen this way. I never thought spinelli would lie to me like this. It — it isn’t really like that. It’s not like we set out to deceive you. Hmm. Were spinelli’s pipes actually broken? Uh, yes, so we did set out to deceive you. But if we offered you the money, you would have just said no again. At least it would have been my decision. Yes, and it would have been a bad one. Mom! The point is, spinelli and i were in a lose-lose situation. And since there was no good decision to make, we made the least bad decision to help you. Deceiving you like that… helping you with your finances while providing free babysitting was all an act of love, on both our parts. I know that. And — and I know that spinelli would never lie to me out of malice. That is not my main problem. Then what is? The thing that’s bugging me the most is… I couldn’t tell spinelli was keeping something from me. Well, I can understand why that would be troubling for you. But it’s not like what happened with peter. Way to sugarcoat it, mom. But — well, no, I’m just saying that spinelli never lied to you about his mafia connections. No, I’ve always known about those. Well, he never tried to steal your baby or isolate you in a forest cabin in europe — okay, I get where you’re going with this, but that is a very low bar to clear. It’s just, aside from you and mac, spinelli… he’s always been the person that I can count on the most. Doesn’t this prove that he still is? Maybe it proves that acting on my feelings for spinelli was a huge mistake. This yours? No, what is it? It’s garbage now. So you’re just gonna throw it out? Can’t leave it lying around. O-okay, fine. It’s — it’s mine. You’re vaping? What do you even care? I don’t know. Maybe I don’t want my brother to get popcorn lungs. Will you calm down? It’s not like I’m really smoking. We can have this conversation later. Or not. Right now, we’re going back to the house and celebrate your sister’s birthday with your whole family there. Or are you trying to get caught? Why? You gonna rat me out? You know, recently, I-I’ve got to know sonny as a person. And he’s always been a very good friend to my daughter robin.

[ Sighs ] Anna, come on. Just the same way that he was a very good friend to your brother stone. A lot of good peoplesee the best in bad people. He’s done a lot of positive things for this community. Are you talking about the hospital wing that he bought in my brother’s memory? You do know that crime lords use philanthropy as a way of laundering money. My point is… while I wouldn’t hesitate to arrest him if I had evidence of a crime, I still don’t believe he should be reduced to just that. Because if you hope to take him down one day, you can’t just focus on his crimes and flaws, which admittedly are many. You have to take into account the good things, as well. ‘Cause if you just let yourself be blinded by prejudice, you will miss the opportunity to apprehend him when it finally presents itself. If you’re going to sell this mediation, you’re going to need a third party to arbitrate. I mean, that’s the play, isn’t it? Which means you need a rep from a third family. What are you going to do, sonny? You going to call what’s left of the novaks? The buscemas? You can’t trust them. I happen to be a former memberof the jerome family. My presence could help sell this thing. You’re not wrong. You and selina are the bait, but I could be what convinces your enemy that this meeting is legit and draws them out. Plus, if we’re being honest…

[ Chuckles ] I can’t wait to hear this one. Your circle of trust has gotten pretty small, sonny. It’s so small that I’m in the center of it. You don’t have to do this alone. Don’t do this alone. Let me help you.


Spinelli and I have been down this road before, and it did not work out. A long time ago. Yeah, but don’t you think that proves that it maybe never will? How? Mom [Chuckles] Spinelli and i literally admitted to each other how we felt, and then instantly, everything fell apart. Okay, sweetheart, I want you to listen to me and really take this to heart, okay? I’ll try. You may think that when spinelli moved in, that was what caused you to fall in love with him. But the truth is, you’ve always had a connection. Not just as friends, not just as co-parents. But you’ve always been a little in love with each other, even when you were with other people. How do you know that for sure? I have seen the bond between you and spinelli. Really? Everybody’s seen it. Nathan saw it. Ellie saw it. Mac is still annoyed by it. And spinelli, now he sees it. The only person that says they haven’t seen it is you. I think it’s time for you to get honest about what you’re afraid of. I don’t know what I would do if spinelli and i tried to be together, and I lost him for good. I can understand why you would be afraid of that, given all the loss that you’ve had to endure. Putting our hearts on the line is really scary. It’s not just my heart, though. Georgie would be devastated if spinelli and i didn’t work out. And bailey lou and james, they’re both crazy about spinelli. You’re right. There is a lot at stake here. I can’t tell you what decision to make. Since when? I can tell you that you’re a survivor. You have endured so much and come out of it stronger each time. I’m just… tired. How many growth experiences should one person have? Yeah. Well, what you have to know is if things don’t work out with spinelli, then you’ll survive that, too. Or you could get back together again, older and wiser than the two of you have ever been, and stumble into some happiness that you never dreamed that was possible. It’s up to you to decide if it’s worth the risk. Okay?

[ Chuckles ] Don’t worry. I’m not going to tell anyone. This is your business. Thanks. What the hell? Give it back. Yeah, not gonna happen. I may not be a snitch, but I’m not going to let you do this. I’m not messing around, jake. Give it back. Or what? Or I’ll take it from you. Really? This is that important to you that you’d try to forcibly take it from me? Oh, I wouldn’t just try. Who the hell are you to try to tell me what to do anyway? Give it back! Get off me, danny! You crazy?! Willow: Jake? Danny? I thought I heard shouting. What’s going on?

[ Both panting ] We were just messing around. Pretty much. We’re taking a family photo. Come on.

[ Quietly ] My vape? Hey, mom. Yeah. I wanted to tell you this sooner, but I didn’t — I didn’t have a chance. What? Something wrong? So, I talked to dante, and he told me that he thinks there’s a link between whosever targeting dad and olivia jerome’s death. Yeah, I know. You know how? Because I had a conversation with special agent john cates of the fbi. Do you know him? Uh, coincidentally, we, uh, just met. You just met? Okay. Is there more to that story? No, just — just that I’m worried about dad, that’s all. I know. Me, too. I don’t know what to do about it. Do you have any ideas? So, I told josslyn to bring dex back to town. What? Why would you do that? Why would you do that to dex? He’s a grown man. He can decide whether or not he wants to come back. Michael, if something happens to dex, your sister is going to be devastated. Look, I-I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. But I don’t — I don’t — mom, I don’t think it will. Really? No. How do you think sonny is going to react? He was furious when he found out you hired dex to spy on him. Now you’re going behind his back again. If he’s angry, he’s angry. I’m going to help my father whether he likes it or not. What’s going on with dad? Why does he need help? So o’neill says we’re looking for a dead man, at least someone who’s dead on paper. Mm, according to cyrus, but his trustworthiness is questionable at best. Plus, the mic dropped out right as he acquired that piece of intel. Maybe there’s a way to corroborate his story. Any ideas?

[ Knock on door ] Yeah? Come in. Hey. Sorry to interrupt. It’s important. Is this is about my case? You mean our case? Yeah, it is. What have you got? Sonny and selina wu are making moves.

[ Door opens ] Everything is in place at our end for tonight? Yes. And mr. Corinthos’ associate assured me it’s all taken care of. But… but what? The associate. He seems…odd. Mr. Spinelli is certainly unique, but very good at what he does. Mm?

[ Door opens ] Mr. Corinthos. Ms. Jerome, what a surprise. I wasn’t expecting you. Ms. Wu. I hope you don’t mind me joining you at the last minute. Actually, I do. This wasn’t part of our plan. Plans change. We can trust ava.


[ Phone line ringing ]

[ Beep ] Spinelli: Greetings. You’ve

reached damian spinelli.

Please leave a message,

and I will return

your call posthaste. Hey. It’s me. Call me.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Uh, no, just — just that I-I haven’t — I haven’t talked to dad in a while. Have you? Not a whole lot, no. I’ve been, uh, busy. Why? What’s going on? Is there something happening I should know about? We’re just wondering how things are going with you and blaze. Uh, things are good. Yeah. It’s still new, so… anyway, I’ve been asked to summon you guys for cake and photos. Oh, yeah, I got to get in there. All right. Hey, um, are you sure everything’s okay with dad? Yeah, yeah, hey, he’ll be fine. Okay. Yeah. I’ll make sure of it. Sonny and selina coerced her bodyguard li to leak to his source that they were meeting up tonight. Presenting a prime opportunity for li’s boss to take wu and corinthos out. Okay, so they’re setting up a trap to smoke out our assassin. Which is exactly what I didn’t want to happen. I knew if we let corinthos in on what was going on, he would go vigilante and take our suspect out. Okay, we can’t allow him to take the law into his own hands. Whatever corinthos and wu are planning, we got to stop them. Well, let’s go. I congratulate you on the trust you’ve established with ms. Jerome, who is, let’s not forget, the mother of one of your children. What does that mean? Well, you have incentive to trust her. I don’T. Ava acting as a mediator makes the meeting look more legit. Her presence further destabilizes an already volatile situation. That’s not a risk I want to take. It’s already in motion. Let it play out. At the risk of all of our lives? We’re all targets at this point. Here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to let our enemies come get us.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Billy: I was just coming to look for you.

Devon: Why is that?

Billy: I’ve got to go out of town for a couple of days, so I’m going to be out of the office.

Devon: Is everything all right?

Billy: Yeah, um, I’m going with chelsea to minnesota. She’s going to check up on connor.

Devon: Is he okay?

Billy: I think he will be. He’s facing some new challenges. Chelsea needs to go out there and see a specialist, and I’m going for moral support. I assume that’s not going to be a problem for you?

Mariah: Well…

Abby: Hello! Thank you for joining us for breakfast this morning.

Mariah: Abby, I have a new appreciation for what you do here. Tessa was completely crashed out this morning when I left.

Abby: Ah, she was here super late doing inventory, so i told her I’d cover her shift so she could get some sleep. You know, everyone here is already obsessed with her. They love her.

Kyle: Of course they do.

[ Abby laughs ]

Abby: Now, I think hiring her is my best idea yet.

Mariah: Wow, I will pass that along. I’m sure she’ll love hearing that, uh, you get the credit for all of her hard work.

Abby: You know what? No need. She’s already aware of how pleased I am with my brilliant idea to hire her and her outstanding job performance. I’ve already showered her with plenty of well-deserved praise.

Kyle: Well, tessa is a multitalented woman. Singer, spokesperson and model, and now restaurateur extraordinaire.

Abby: Yes.

Kyle: We’re going to miss her at jabot.

Mariah: Well, more predictable schedule here, more time with aria.

Kyle: I absolutely understand why she stepped away.

Abby: Well, she is a lifesaver because it’s given me a chance to focus on chancellor-winters, which reminds me I need to go check in with devon, but please enjoy your breakfast.

Kyle: I’m sure we will.

Mariah: Wow. My wife is a star here.

Kyle: Well, you’re not surprised, are you?

Mariah: Well, I’m just happy that she gets the opportunity to shine again. I mean, she’s been a little bit at loose ends lately. And she’s waiting for her voice to be healed enough so she can go back on the road again.

Kyle: Ah, the inevitable downtime between her duties at marchetti, it has to be frustrating. I’m sure working here will provide her with good balance. Speaking of balance, how are things with you?

Mariah: I’m great now because aria is great. It’s crazy, when aria couldn’t hear us, it was all that we could think about.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Mariah: But now those days are slowly fading into history, you know? With the hearing aids. Now we’re focused on playtime and learning and milestones, and it’s crazy. You know, she’s picking up words now, and-and she’s starting to make sounds, it’s– I swoon over her. I’m obsessed. We’re obsessed, obviously.

[ Mariah chuckles ]

Kyle: With good reason. And your job?

Mariah: It’s fantastic. I mean, working with sharon is great. I am so impressed with the company that we’re building. And it’s so strong. Like, right out the gate. So, I have no complaints.

Kyle: That’s great, mariah. You know, you deserve every bit of it. I’m really, really happy for you.

Mariah: Okay, so, now you. How are you? I’m sensing maybe not so well. Am I right?

Kyle: Things are great for you while you work with your mom. Meanwhile, part of me wishes I could steal my mom’s job right out from underneath her.

Victor: Well, I hope you’re not here to try to change my mind again.

Victoria: No, dad. I’m here to tell you that I’m not going to fight you anymore on this plan of yours to lure jordan out of hiding. All right? You win.

Victor: But you’re still upset?

Victoria: I’ve thought about it. And I– I understand your logic. I know that claire is determined to make amends and she wants to prove that she’s part of this family by doing everything that she can to protect us all from jordan.

Victor: Well, your daughter is a very smart young lady.

Victoria: However, I do have some conditions for my support.

Victor: I bet you do, but I promise you that I will keep her safe, all right?

Victoria: I have other conditions, dad.

Victor: I bet you do. But I’m glad that you… changed your mind… about my plan, and I’m very glad that your mother was able to convince you to see it my way.

Victoria: What? You sent mom to try to pressure me into agreeing to this idea of yours?

Victor: Of course I did. I’ll be honest.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victoria: Well, I haven’t spoken with mom since yesterday. It was claire who changed my mind. She basically pleaded with cole and me to trust her instincts, and she’s right. She’s right, dad. She knows her aunt more than anyone.

Victor: Good. Whatever the motivation, I’m happy that you’re beginning to see the benefits of my plan.

Victoria: But that doesn’t mean that I’m happy about any of it, dad. And on top of that, I mean, I don’t know how you could willingly put mom in such a difficult position. You’re basically asking her to fight your battles for you.

Victor: What do you mean a difficult position? I asked her to make you see reason. Now, it happens that claire did so. Wonderful. Why do you see a flaw in everything I do?

Victoria: Well, they’re right in plain sight.

Victor: All I’m trying to do is keep our family safe. Your family safe. And what do you do? You question it. Every move I make, you question. What’s the real reason? What’s beneath all this?

Devon: Yeah, no, absolutely. It’s not a problem at all. It sounds like whatever connor’s going through isn’t easy.

Billy: No, it’s not. Not for him or his mother.

Devon: Yeah, I can imagine. Well, go be there for them, and don’t worry about anything here. I’m sure we can keep things going without you.

Billy: Okay. Well, I’ll have my computer on me so I can work from the road if anything comes up. Sure you’ll let me know.

Devon: Yeah, of course.

Billy: Actually, there’s one provision I would like to make while I’m away.

Mariah: So, that was a bombshell. You still want diane’s position.

Kyle: Yeah, I shouldn’t have said that.

Mariah: Well, is it how you really feel? Remember, this is me you’re talking to. You can tell me the truth.

Kyle: I don’t really wanna steal my mom’s position.

Mariah: But?

Kyle: But things aren’t great right now. Not bad, just not–

Mariah: You’re not at your peak happiness.

Kyle: Yes, I’ve been trying so hard to be the good son, the dedicated worker, team player, because not that long ago I was none of those things. You know, I wanted the co-ceo role so badly that I let a chip grow on my shoulder when my dad asked me to walk away from marketing. Then he passed me up. Gave the job to billy.

Mariah: Yeah, that had to be a smack to your ego for sure.

Kyle: Which is why i acted out. And then I took a good hard look at myself and realized what an ass I was being. Made the choice to stop fighting. Compensate for my bad behavior. Maybe even overcompensate.

Mariah: Well, in what way?

Kyle: Well, when billy left chancellor-winters, I suggested… insisted that my mom assume the role I wanted. You know, ever since then, I’ve been second guessing my decision. Like I showed too much humility, and once again, I missed out on the opportunity that I know in my heart I deserved. Like many women over 40,

Mariah: So are you saying you resent the fact that diane is co-ceo now?

Kyle: “Resent” is a little strong. She is my mother, and this is an amazing chance for her. Of course I want to see her shine. And it’s not like I’ve been pushed off into a corner. I am still the third part of the triad of leadership at jabot.

Mariah: Yeah, I hear you. Working with your parents can be incredibly fulfilling. You know, there’s a love and trust there that you’re not going to get in other businesses.

Kyle: No, I agree. I mean, working as a family unit, what more could you ask for?

Mariah: Like I said, I love working with my mother. But it’s not enough for you, is it?

Kyle: No. No, it’s not. And the regret is driving me crazy.

Devon: So what kind of provision do you want for a short trip?

Billy: I’d appreciate it if you kept chance in the loop. You know, bring him up to speed. Make him aware of any big decisions that might go down.

Devon: Okay. And why is that necessary if you’re going to be available? Because we can just contact you if there’s an issue, right?

Billy: Yeah. But I think it’s an opportunity for chance, you know, while I step away. Is that a problem?

Devon: I mean, he just got here, so I don’t really think he’s the appropriate stand-in for you. But if that’s what you want while you’re gone, then that’s your business.

Billy: Good. Thank you.

Devon: Yeah. Have a safe trip.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: How you doing?

Billy: Hi, abby. Sorry, I got to run. But nice to see you.

Abby: You too.

Devon: Hey, tell chelsea that I hope that everything works out for the best.

Billy: Thanks for that.

Abby: Well, I guess i don’t need to ask if the tension between you and billy is easing up. Because the answer is obviously no.

Victoria: Why would you say that? That there’s something else going on? There’s nothing else going on. I’m concerned about my daughter. She’s emotionally fragile right now. And mom, mom is vulnerable. Dad, we cannot afford to get this wrong. Not even a little bit.

Victor: Let me ask you something. You don’t think I know this? I know all of this. Something else is going on. Does this have to do with newman?

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: No. Work is the last thing that I’m thinking about.

Victor: Are you upset that i promoted both your brothers, nicholas and adam, to take over your position? If you’re upset about that, that’s absurd. Because you walked away from here, didn’t you?

Victoria: You know why I made that choice. My daughter needed me. That is the only reason that I took that break.

Victor: And I understand that, but what else is going on?

Victoria: If you think I’m harboring some private resentment for the decisions that you’ve made at newman, I’m not. I actually agree with you on some of them. My only concern is for my daughter, for claire, for her well-being and for her safety. And for mom. If I’m frustrated with you, it has nothing to do with the company.

Victor: So there should be no more frustration? On your part, now that you are on board with my plan. And your mother was spared the task of luring that witch into a trap. So? Nothing for us to argue about, is there? You didn’t live this strong,

Victor: Sweetheart, I– I don’t want to fight about this, okay?

Victoria: Neither do I.

Victor: You know that we need to present a united front for this plan to work.

Michael: Ah, victor, victoria! Sorry to interrupt, but the judge has made a ruling, and I knew you’d want to know right away.

Victor: What? What did he rule?

Michael: Well, provided a series of therapeutic and safety contingencies are met, the judge has agreed to remand claire to– hold for applause– victoria and cole’s custody.

[ Victoria gasps ]

Victoria: They’re letting her come home?

Michael: Mm-hmm.

Victoria: Oh, my god. What if it’s too much for her though, daddy? What if it’s– it’s just so overwhelming and… jordan is out there. You have to protect her. You promised that you’re going to keep her protected, right?

Victor: Sweetheart, I’ve told you that many times. Of course I will protect her.

Michael: Uh, so you are on board?

>>Victoria: Yes, but not without some misgivings. Does claire know about the judge’s decision?

Michael: Uh, I assumed that you and cole would want to give her the news yourselves?

Victoria: Yes, yes, we would. Thank you. And as I told my father, I will go along with this plan, but there are some conditions.

Victor: What conditions?

Victoria: No matter what, daddy, you have to keep her safe. All right, and– and– no surprises. No– we stick to the original plan.

Victor: Sweetheart, do I have to repeat? She’s my granddaughter. I will damn well protect her.

Victoria: Fine. And I want her staying with me, at my home.

Victor: No, no, no, no, no. That I do not want. I want you and claire to stay at the ranch. Because that’s when I can provide security.

Victoria: No, daddy, look, the ranch, it’s lovely, but I’m just afraid it’ll be too much for her.

Victor: Listen…

Victoria: I want her at my place.

Victor: Listen to me carefully. I cannot provide the same security at your place. When you and she come to the ranch, she’ll be secure, okay? You’ll both be safe. I promise you.

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: Okay, okay, fine. But it’s only temporary until jordan is back in custody.

Jordan: Damn you, seth. Where are you? Why haven’t you gotten back to me?

Devon: So billy’s going away on a short business trip, and he has provisions for me. He wants me to bring chance in on everything while he’s gone. Even though chance is brand new and can’t make decisions. So, why would he do that?

Abby: But you have an idea.

Devon: I do, yeah. I think that he wants to have a fly on the wall here. So that nothing happens without him knowing about it. Or he’s just flexing his power.

Abby: Wait, do you know when lily’s coming back?

Devon: I don’T. That’s a great question. Which means I have to figure out how to work with billy in the meantime.

Abby: Hmm. Well, that’s not stressful at all.

Devon: Oh, yeah. It’s just unfortunate, because it makes things a lot less productive around here than they need to be.

Abby: And it’s draining. I mean, I know, I had one of the worst business partners ever in phyllis. It doesn’t get any worse than that. I mean, billy can’t possibly be that bad, right?

Devon: They’re different. I don’t want to badmouth anybody in your family, but I think that they’re equally bad in their own ways.

Abby: I hate seeing you like this. Is there anything I can do to help?

Devon: No, no. I appreciate it, but this is something that I have to deal with on my own, and I will. I’m actually kind of happy that billy’s going to be going out of town. Because even with chance in the mix, I think things will run a lot smoother with him being gone.

Billy: Thank you very much.

Chelsea: Hey.

Billy: Hey. How you doing?

Chelsea: Oh, I just wish we were there already.

Billy: Okay, well, coffee for the road, there’s gas in the car, I wrapped up everything at work, so I’m good to go.

Chelsea: Great. Thanks. And I– I’ve stayed at this hotel before, and, um–

[ Chelsea sighs ] …I confirmed the appointment with connor’s ocd specialist, so we’re all set.

Billy: But you’re anxious anyway.

Chelsea: I hate this.

Billy: Chels, you’re doing everything you can right now.

Chelsea: I know. I’m just scared about what the specialist is going to say. And how that’s going to affect connor, and then how I’m going to react, and then how he’s going to react when he sees me react.

Billy: Okay, just take a breath, okay? One step at a time. This is about finding out what’s going on with connor. Then we listen to the doctors. They give us a protocol. We follow that, again, one step at a time. I know this is difficult, okay? But you’re gonna get through it, and I’ll be there every step of the way.

Chelsea: Are you sure you want to come with me? I feel guilty dragging you away from your new job. I mean, how did devon react when you told him you were leaving?

Billy: Uh, well…

Chelsea: He was annoyed.

Billy: Devon’s devon. You know, but chance is going to step up for me, and devon knows how to get a hold of me.

Chelsea: You know, it’s not too late.

Billy: Too late for what?

Chelsea: You should stay. Don’t come with me.

Billy: Hey, I’m coming with you. Now, look, devon actually wished us all the best, and he hopes that everything works out with connor.

Chelsea: Really?

Billy: Yes. And I believe he was sincere this time.

Chelsea: Well, that– that’s nice of him, but I still feel like there’s more to it. I know things are really tricky between you and devon right now.

Billy: Yeah, there’s tension in the air.

Chelsea: Oh, great, and now I’m dragging you away at the worst possible time.

Billy: I am coming with you. I’m committed to coming with you. Don’t talk me out of it. Okay?

Chelsea: Thank you. Have I mentioned how much I appreciate you? This would be so much harder for me if you weren’t by my side.

Adam: Hey. I, uh, figured we would take my car. Is billy here to see you off?

Billy: Actually, I’m– I’m driving chelsea. We’re travelling all across america,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Adam: Why are you going?

Chelsea: Adam…

Adam: Chelsea, this– this is a private family matter, okay? And someone from the outside could make things worse. It could make connor more uncomfortable or more self-conscious.

Chelsea: Connor hardly sees billy as an outsider. They’ve become very close, and I think you know that. If anything, billy can help put connor at ease. Isn’t that what we all want? We shouldn’t be worried about who’s going. We should be worried about this first meeting. It’s supposed to be an exploratory discussion.

Adam: Okay. Okay, what do we even know about this therapist, chelsea?

Chelsea: She comes highly recommended by the school.

Billy: There hasn’t been a definite diagnosis yet?

Adam: No, not yet. That’s part of the reason why we’re going up there. I still have a hard time believing that my son could have ocd.

Chelsea: Adam, you have to approach this with an open mind. And you have to be willing to accept whatever his diagnosis is.

Billy: The last thing connor needs is to feel that there might be a contradiction to what’s actually happening with him. So we need to be on the same page pulling connor through this.

Adam: Mm-hmm. And the last thing that I need is for you to tell me how to parent my own son.

[ Knocking on door ]

Victoria: Hi.

Cole: Hey.

Claire: You’re here. I’m almost afraid to ask. Has there been a decision?

Victoria: The judge has granted you freedom.

Claire: I’m leaving?

Victoria: Effective right away.

Claire: Michael said it was a possibility, but I didn’t think it would happen so soon.

Cole: Well, it’s done, claire. You’re getting out of here, and you’re coming home with us.

Claire: I don’t know how to feel. I mean, I’ve never been out there the way that I am now. I’m– I’m excited… but scared.

Cole: Well, it’s– it’s a big change. It’s totally normal to feel some nerves.

Claire: And what about jordan? She’s somewhere out there. God only knows what her next move is. Victor got me out of here for a reason. So whatever is going to happen with her, it’ll probably happen soon.

Cole: Well, listen, we don’t want you to worry about any of that.

Victoria: You’re not going to have to face any of this alone. We’re going to be right there by your side as you take these next steps on your journey. That’s what this is. It’s– it’s a journey. To finding your real self and to being whole again.

Claire: A journey. It’s kind of– kind of strange to think of my life that way. For so long, it was more of a mission. Every move was about getting payback or justice for something that didn’t even happen. You rejecting me. And now there’s this whole new path. Just totally new. And there’s so many options. I just want to get it right.

Mariah: Would you do me a favor?

Kyle: Hmm.

Mariah: Please? Give yourself a break. You have had an extremely rough year. First there was the breakup with summer. Then getting booted out of marchetti. I mean, your whole world was upended. Then there was that horrible mistake with audra charles.

Kyle: Mm. Thanks. That helps.

Mariah: So, have you thought about your part in any of that?

Kyle: I haven’t thought about it that way, no.

Mariah: Maybe you should do that now.

Kyle: Okay. Look, summer did break my heart. And my dad did choose her over me and marchetti. And billy refused to vacate my former co-ceo seat at jabot.

Mariah: So basically, what you’re saying is you’re just a poor, innocent victim that had no choice in anything.

Kyle: Right, I didn’t ask summer to lie to me about her very alive mother. It all just kind of snowballed from there.

Mariah: Come on. You have free will, okay? You have made your choices every step of the way. And you have to own them.

Kyle: Am I supposed to be enjoying this, ’cause I’m not.

Mariah: I’m saying this because I love you. Otherwise, I would let you go along your merry little way. But you have to examine your choices, your behavior. Figure out what you want and who you want to be. And– and not just having to do with job titles. Maybe it’ll give you a chance to see this as a new beginning. The start of the next journey for you. Kerendia presents…

Kyle: Bravo, mariah. Tear me down to set me on my journey to me.

Mariah: Oh, please. You’re too young to be wallowing in regret. Or maybe too old, okay? All I’m saying is you should just learn how to live without any more regrets.

Kyle: You’re right. You’re right, I have a lot I need to work on, and so much has happened, I need to examine where I went wrong so I don’t make the same mistake again.

Mariah: See? See? That’s positive thinking. That’s exactly what I’m talking about and what you need more of in your life. So, what’s the next positive thing on the horizon?

Kyle: Maybe that’s all the positive I can handle right now. I might get a handle on my job. It may not be the co-ceo position, but my job is still demanding. And the rest of my time and attention goes to harrison. And friends like you. What more could I ask for?

Abby: You know I can’t just leave now, right?

Devon: No, not that i want you to go, but why not?

Abby: Because even though billy is gone, I want you to be happy. You didn’t come to chancellor-winters to feel upset. I want you to be happy.

Devon: How can I not be happy when I get to go home to you every day?

Abby: No, I want you to be happy most of the time, if not all the time. Because that is the way that I feel ever since we went from being best friends to what we are now.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Just pure bliss from day one?

Abby: Oh, yeah. Okay, yes, we had a rough start. But look at us now. We’re just going to keep that momentum going. So I have to help you release all this stress and tension.

Devon: How do you propose you’re going to do that?

Abby: Do you want me to tell you?

Devon: I’d love for you to tell me, yes.

Abby: Okay, I think I will get you a deep-tissue massage. Yeah, really get those kinks out, yeah. Mm-hmm, maybe a hot stone.

Devon: Oh, are you joking?

Abby: Yeah, I’m joking.

Devon: Oh, good, good.

Victoria: Just so you know, claire, you’re not completely free yet. There are some legal conditions that have to be met.

Claire: I’m ready. What are they?

Victoria: Well, first of all, you have to immediately enroll in an outpatient program with your doctors. And then you’re going to need to periodically check in with the penal system. It’s sort of like being on parole. Uh, last but not least, we’re going to have to prove that you have a security set up at the house where you’ll be living.

Claire: And where will that be? Will I move in with you? Michael mentioned that as a possibility, but i understand if it’s too much too soon, I don’t want to impose. Maybe– maybe you could just help me find some place.

Cole: But we said we’d be right beside you, and we meant it. Now, I’m still living over at the athletic club, but that’s really no place for you to call home, and it’s not secure enough.

Victoria: I wanted you to come live with me at my house. That’s what I wanted. But dad thought that it would be safer for you to be at the ranch for the time being.

Claire: Newman ranch? When I was young, I used to dream about living there. Playing hide and seek. I imagined there were all these secret passageways, about riding horses like a real newman. And then I’d remember that could never be my life, and my throat would hurt from trying not to cry.

Victoria: Well, hopefully, those feelings will change. You’ll be coming to the ranch as a newman. You’ll be living someplace where you’re loved and cared for.

Claire: That’s all I’ve wanted my whole life.

Victor: And now we need to release a statement to the press where we talk about certain aspects of my plan, okay?

Michael: Uh, the daughter that cole and victoria thought was dead miraculously comes home.

Victor: You got it. And then we stage a photo where claire walks in to victoria’s house, giving the impression to whoever reads this damn thing that claire lives in victoria’s house.

Michael: Victor, this requires so many moving parts to fall into place. I mean, it– it just takes one little item to go awry, and the whole thing’s going to blow up.

Victor: Then we will see to it that doesn’t happen, good?

Michael: Are you sure about this? I mean, have you seriously gone over all the details?

Victor: Of course I have. Since when have you known me and I have not thought through whatever I intend to do? Hmm? I play chess. Always a few moves ahead. Air wick. Hi, my name is damion clark.

Billy: Hey, why don’t you take it easy. I’m not telling you how to be a parent. I made a comment because I’m looking out for connor.

Adam: You think I’m not looking out for my son? Okay, is this how you plan to console connor, by insulting his father?

Chelsea: No, we are not doing this. We are not doing this. We are not fighting. We are not wasting precious energy arguing. Remember what sharon said? We have to take this one step at a time and not jump to conclusions.

Adam: Okay, all I’m saying is we should not take what the therapist says at face value. We should get a second opinion. Hell, we maybe should get a third opinion, chelsea.

Chelsea: Which is what jumping to conclusions means, adam!

Adam: It doesn’T.

Chelsea: We haven’t even heard what the specialist has said yet, okay? But we have to listen to the doctor who specializes in this exact issue. And you know what connor doesn’t need right now? He doesn’t need to feel the tension between you two, fighting and me playing referee. If you both can’t control yourself, then maybe you both should stay home.

Kyle: Hey, traci.

Traci: Hey, um, listen, I just sent harrison in to get a snack.

Kyle: Oh, well, thanks for hanging out with him. Where’s his nanny? I didn’t see her car out front.

Traci: Oh, linda got a call. Her mother got sick suddenly. So she’s on a plane to ohio.

Kyle: That’s awful, I mean, I should check in with her.

Traci: Yeah, do, I think she’d really appreciate it. Um, kyle, I think this is going to be an extended visit. But in the meanwhile, I’m happy to help out.

Kyle: Yeah, much appreciated, but I’ll have to talk to summer about finding a replacement.

Traci: Okay, well, take your time. I know that a good one is really hard to find. Um, he did mention to me that he misses summer being in the house with him.

Kyle: I know. He mentioned it to me, too. It’s been tough on him. I mean, even though he sees summer all the time, it’s still confusing. It adds to the losses he’s already had in his short, little life.

Traci: Yeah, he’s had a lot to adjust to, for sure. Uh, you know, people he loved disappearing suddenly. His biological mother, ashland.

Kyle: I hate that the situation between me and summer is causing him any sadness, and on top of that, he was so attached to his nanny. Now linda’s gone.

Traci: Kyle, listen to me. You should be very proud of all the things that you’re providing for your son. You’ve surrounded him with people who just adore him. You know, so he never feels alone or abandoned. And even though summer doesn’t live in the house, she loves him dearly, and she shows him every single chance she gets. Honey, he’s got me, ashley, diane and jack.

[ Traci laughs ] You are a wonderful father. Harrison is so lucky to have you.

Kyle: I hope so. I mean, every day of his life, I just want him to be happy and safe. To know that he’s loved. If I can’t do that, then I’ve let him down. And myself.

[ Claire sighs ]

Claire: This place is amazing. The grounds are like a park. It’s so big and beautiful.

Cole: Well, I remember the first time I set foot on this ranch years ago. I think I felt pretty much the same way that you do. As impressive as it is, it can be just as intimidating.

Claire: I just still can’t believe this is really happening. I’m really here.

Victor: I do not want you to worry, okay? You know me, I’ve thought through every possibility. I do have things under control.

Michael: Well, you’ve laid the bait, you’ve set the trap. Now all jordan has to do is step in it.

Victor: Then she won’t be able to resist it. Because she’ll feel compelled to confront claire, and let her know how much she disagrees with claire moving in with victoria.

Michael: And then claire will deliver the message that you want to meet with jordan concerning eve.

Victor: And then jordan will think that she’s in control. And she’ll be in for the surprise of a life to learn otherwise.

Jordan: Where is that hospital number? Ooh, ooh, there. Hello, yes, uh, this is nikki newman. I would like to be connected to my granddaughter, claire grace. No, no, you must be mistaken. Claire grace? She’s been released? Are you sure? Thank you. But it’s so soon. How is that possible?

Victoria: This is only the first step of your homecoming. But, claire… you are home. Come here.
