THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah. I almost forgot how great it is to swim in the ocean. What?! How could you forget? This was, like, our second home when we were kids. And especially you. You guys come here way more than the rest of us. Yeah, I know. That’s true. But I just — it’s — it’s been a while since I’ve been back. You should have joined us, dad. The water was so warm. I feel totally refreshed. Well, I’m just happy you enjoyed it, but I’ll check it out later ’cause I need to drink my morning coffee. You know how that goes. What’s this? Oh, that’s nothing. Oh, ho, ho, ho! I’m sorry. Are you writing your own vows? -Kristina, give it back. -[ Gasps ] You’re handwriting your vows? Who are you and what have you done with our tough-as-nails father? Michael, our dad’s in love. Thank you. It’s finally happening. Sonny: Maybe we wound up in this town for a reason. Maybe it’s our chance for happiness. You don’t think we owe it to ourselves to give it a shot? Who knows? It might be the start of something big. Love is hard but it’s worth the fight sonny: The more I’ve gotten to know you, the more that I’m drawn to you. The past was dark to our first date. But now I’m bathed in light well, there’s things that you don’t know about you, mike, and things that you don’t know about me. Sonny: I remember everything, nina. But the more I’ve gotten to know you, the more that I’m drawn to you. I never expected to fall in love with you. Mike never expected to fall in love with you, either. And those feelings, they just don’t disappear. Sonny, you are unlike any man that I have ever known. You make me happy, and I want to embrace that happiness.

[ Both laugh ]

And it’s you sonny: I see a future with you. It’s always been you but even you have to admit that the cards are stacked against us. It’s you I love it’s you sonny: The only thing I’m going to admit is I’m falling in love with you a little more every single day. That’s easy to say now. Now and forever. Forever. Marry me. I don’t want a pity proposal. Pity?! Have you ever thought of proposing to me before tonight? Sonny: Yeah. From the second I met you. I didn’t know who I was. It didn’t matter. Because I know what I felt. And I still do. Because you are brave and you’re a fighter. And I want you to allow me to fight alongside you. And it’s you it’s always been you you really want to marry me? Absolutely. You want to rethink your answer? And it’s you I say yes! Yes! It’s you yes! Yes! No, martin. I haven’t changed my mind. I want you to go all-out and expose drew and carly for engaging in insider trading. Just make sure to keep my name out of it. Donna: Nina, nina! Hi, sweetheart! Wow! You are up early. I was too excited to sleep. Yeah. I get it. Me too. So, what do you think about this chapel, huh? This is where I am going to marry your daddy. I like it.

[ Laughs ] Good! So do I. After you marry my daddy, are you going to be my second mommy? Yes, donna. I will. Good. Now I will have two mommies, just like avery.

[ Chuckles ] Harmony: Come on, honey. It’s time to get up. You don’t want to be late for the wedding. Hm. What are you doing here? I’m doing what I’ve done your entire life. I’m here to protect you.

[ Knock on door ] I’m studying! Go away! Okay. No problem. I’ll talk to you later. Wait! Wait, wait. Wait. I didn’t know it was you. What are you doing here? Are you alone or is trina around? I’m alone. Good. Because I really missed you. Really? How bad? This bad.

[ Chuckles ] Dr. Gatlin-holt. Bless you for coming. Help! Can anyone hear me?! Help me! No one can hear you, ava. You’re wasting your energy. No one can hear all the noise you’re making… and no one’s coming to help you.


I can’t even put into words how incredibly grateful I am that the judge is considering me for a hardship release, which, if he grants, it means an early parole. Right. Good for you. It truly is a miracle that the court is going to take my age and fragile health into account. But they can’t just go on my word telling them that I don’t have the physical capacity to harm anyone. They need a doctor’s opinion, someone who is familiar with my medical history. So, again, thank you, dr. Gatlin-holt, for coming here to speak on my behalf. Sure. Yeah. Right. I mean, once I figured out what was at stake, I didn’t really have a choice, did I? I don’t think you want to be banging on those pipes, making so much noise. You should know — this basement — crawling with rats and cockroaches. I really don’t think it’s the type of place you want to be in your bare feet. You sick son of a bitch. How dare you hold me in these disgusting conditions. It’s inhumane! I’m sorry. I would have loved to put you up in a place more posh. Even for at least my own comfort. But unfortunately for both of us, you really pissed my boss off when you double-crossed us and you let sonny know what we were up to. That was a big mistake. Okay. Okay. Hold on.

[ Laughs ] I’m so happy you’re here. I’m always happy to see you. Well, I like the sound of that ’cause I’m always happy to see you, too. But I’m confused. Aren’t you on duty? Why aren’t you with sonny? Boss gave me a few days off. Oh. Time off for good behavior? Oh, hilarious. No, he’s out of town for a few days, so he gave me the time off. Wait. If he’s out of town, why wouldn’t he want his bodyguard with him? That doesn’t make sense. Well, uh, sonny and nina flew to puerto rico. Oh. He wants to show her the island property. I’m only surprised it took this long. It’s — it’s a little more than showing off the island property. What do you mean? Sonny and nina flew to puerto rico to elope. I have not finished writing my vows. Well, read them to me and michael, and we’ll give you our feedback. Yeah. I appreciate the offer, but you’re not gonna hear the vows until nina hears the vows. Speaking of your wife-to-be, it’s her first time on the island. What does she think? Well, she wanted to, like, sleep in separate rooms last night. Why? What do you mean, why? Because she didn’t — she didn’t want to see me until she sees me at the altar. I-I think that’s very sweet, dad. She don’t want to risk, you know, any bad luck at our wedding. Before I become your second mommy, there are two very important things that I need you to help me with today. Okay! Okay. I need you to think about this. Will you be my flower girl? Yes! I can do it!

[ Laughs ] I was a flower girl at willow and michael’s wedding. I know! I know! Your dad told me. He even showed me pictures. You were so great. He was so proud of you. Wiley told me that you’re willow’s mommy. Yeah. Wiley is correct. I am willow’s mom. After you get married, is willow going to be my sister? Well, yes, in a way, she will be your sister, but I think it’s simpler to think that we will all be one big family.

[ Laughs ] I like that. Yeah, I like it, too. Come on. So what’s the other important thing? Oh! Yes. Oh. Okay. It’s really, really bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony on the wedding day, so your mission is to make sure that your daddy does not see me too soon. Willow. Honey, I’m here to warn you. It’s very important. Warn me about what exactly?

[ No audio ] Mom. Mom. What are you trying to tell me?! Wha– what?! Wiley: Mommy! Wake up! Time to get ready for grandpa and grandma’s wedding!


Sonny and nina are getting married? How do you know this? How do you know this before i know this? Sonny is my boss. Right. Uh, does my mom know? ‘Cause I think she might be a little shocked when she finds out about this. She already knows. How? When? Yesterday. Sonny thought it was important to tell her in person himself, and he wanted the family to go down there with him. He wanted to take donna, and he needed her to be okay with that. Okay. When you say that sonny wanted the family there, who is it you’re talking about? I mean, did kristina decide to go? Maybe you should get this information from your mom. No, no, no, no. I’m asking you, dex. Who else is going? Dante wanted to go, but he couldn’t get away on such short notice. And? And michael and willow went, and they took wiley. I drove them to the airport.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Uh, this just doesn’t really make sense to me because they decide to elope and nobody tells me. Kristina going, yeah, of course. But michael and willow? Nobody has hated anyone more than michael hates sonny for being with nina. So him going to puerto rico, I mean, how does he not tell me that?! You’ve been locked in here studying for days. Yeah, I’ve been studying for an exam I have coming up. Michael can’t take five minutes out of his day to — to give me a major life update? Neither my mom or michael telling me this? This doesn’t make any sense. Well, maybe they just thought you wouldn’t care. I don’t care. Okay, but — but what? Then I have to ask… why is this bothering you so much? Why’d you sleep so late, mommy? Are you sick again? Oh, honey. No. No, no, no. No. The doctors say I’m all better. I just slept late. That’s all. Maybe that’s because amelia’s not here to wake me up. She cries a lot.

[ Laughs ] Sweetheart, that’s what — that’s what babies do. I’m just glad you’re not sick anymore. Me too. Hey. Come here. Oh, honey. I hope you know how much I love you and that I love being your mommy. And amelia’s mommy. I’m not going to leave either one of you. Hey, you two. Alright. Let’s rise and shine. It’s time to get ready for a wedding. Yay! Right there. Yeah. Okay. I know you didn’t ask for my opinion, but can I just tell you how happy I am you decided to elope? Well, I have a feeling you’re gonna tell me whether I should say yes or no. That’s — that’s accurate, yes. No, but seriously, dad. It’s — it’s so perfect here on the island, you know? It’s — it’s warm, and it’s relaxing, and there’s nothing fraught or tense. You know, it’s — it’s intimate. It was such a good call. You know what’s a better call? That you decided to come. Thank you. I’m bummed that dante and avery couldn’t be here, of course, but, hey, at least you got the rest of the kids, right? I mean, you got the most important one. Your favorite one. Listen. I am so happy that you were one of the, you know — the first one in the family to be open to nina like she’s part of the family. Yeah, of course, dad. It’s obvious how happy nina makes you. And that’s all I’ve ever wanted for you. You know, in the end, isn’t that really the only thing that matters? Yeah. You know what really matters? Hm? Is that you’re happy. Donna: Kristina, kristina! Hi! We have to get ready, but we can’t let daddy see nina. It’s bad luck! Sweetie, if I just run into her, it doesn’t count. No, dad. It absolutely counts. You can’t see her until the wedding! Okay. Listen. You know what? You’re the boss, so whatever you say goes. I will do — you know, you give me orders, and I’ll do it. Ready? Okay.

[ Kristina and donna laugh ] Oh. Hey. Hey. What are you doing here, scott? Client’s a client. Everybody gets a lawyer. It’s in the constitution. Mr. Baldwin. It’s good to see my legal counsel in person. Obviously, my payment must have cleared. Yeah, it did, and just so you know, that’s why I’m representing you — because you paid top dollar. And I can’t guarantee anything that goes on in the judge’s chambers. Well, all I expect you to do is your best. Well, that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. However, it’s gonna be a tough sell to the judge that you’re no longer a menace to society, considering all the crimes you committed. Well, considering the amount of money I’ve paid you, I expect you to make a truly heroic argument in my favor.


Just, uh, so you know, donna put me in charge of making sure you don’t go anywhere near nina before she walks down the aisle. I-I wouldn’t dream of disobeying donna. Yeah. She’s pretty tough. I wonder where she gets that from. Yeah. Speaking of which, I went to talk to carly because, you know, I was gonna tell her I was marrying nina ’cause I needed to know if it was okay to bring donna to the island. Well, good. I’m glad you and mom made peace. I think it’s best for everyone if we — we move on. Best for everyone? Does that include you and me?

[ Knock on door ] Nina: I — this better not be the groom-to-be! It’s just willow and me. No grooms here. -Hi! -Hi! You look great! Oh, my gosh! You are so beautiful! So are you. And michael was drafted by donna to make sure that sonny doesn’t try and wander off. So there is no chance that he’s going to get an accidental glimpse of his bride. Great. Well, when I asked donna to help out, you know, I just wanted her to feel included. I had no idea how seriously she was gonna take this. Oh, the only thing that tore donna from her guard post was that she needed to change into her flower-girl dress. Kristina: Aww. Aww. That’s why we’re here. We are going to ensure that there is nothing but good luck for the bride and groom. Thank you. I am so glad that you both are here. I don’t want to care about sonny or what he does, but I do. And… I feel left out. And maybe I shouldn’t — because I have been abundantly clear to everybody on how I feel about him. But…I feel alone in this grudge now. And I don’t know what to do. I mean, I feel crazy. I don’t want to feel this way. A lot to take in. I get it.

[ Knock on door ] Oh, josslyn. Thank god you’re here. Pilar. What are you doing here? I am so sorry to bother you, but have you heard from ms. Jerome? No. I haven’T. Is everything okay? I didn’t tell sonny anything! If your boss’s “plan” fell apart, it’s because he hired substandard help. You know, this is really your fault for using someone as obvious as betty to spy on sonny.

[ Scoffs ] None that really matters anymore, though, does it? You are where you are. And for how long? Do you really think that nobody’s gonna notice that I’m gone? You’re here till I get further instructions. So until then, try to stay out of trouble. Oh… and watch out for those rats. Oh. Come on!

[ Laughs ] Oh, come on! Don’t leave me down here! C–

[ Door closes ] Alright, then. Okay, then. And stay gone. It’ll give me a time to figure out a way out of here. Judge sinclair: Want you to know, mr. Renault, that I believe in rehabilitation. So much so that I’m on the board of a foundation to end recidivism. But not every prisoner is worthy of a second chance. Your criminal record is long, and it ended with a hostage situation. So whatever decision I make, I’m gonna have to defend it to the public. So why do you think that you should be released? Your honor, I understand your hesitancy. This is a multi-pronged request. My client is reformed. He found god, and he has turned his life around. And his health is very fragile. He suffered a heart attack. So he is no longer a menace to society.


I have never been a bride before, obviously, but I have been a part of plenty of weddings, and there is no way we are letting you marry my dad without giving you all the tradition. Thank you. I appreciate your commitment, kristina, but I thought we covered it on our flight here that, you know, I don’t need all that stuff — you know, something borrowed, something blue — to make this day perfect. Totally. I mean, we let you think that you were gonna have your way on the plane over here. Oh. Really? But it is your day, nina. It’s really up to you. Sure. Let’s do it. Let’s do it. Okay. This should cover your something borrowed. Look at these. -You like? -They’re so beautiful! Oh, my goodness. I love them. Thank you. This is my gift to you, whether you wear this today or sometime in the future.

[ Gasps ] Thank you so much! Look at this shawl. It’s absolutely lovely. Well, I know you were planning a much bigger wedding, so with how close you are to maxie, I asked for her input on a fashion-forward item that would work as your something new, and she instantly picked out this shawl. Plus, now maxie gets to be a part of your wedding. Yes. I just love this shawl. It’s just absolutely beautiful. And I love the fact that whenever I wear it, I will feel maxie’s presence. This covers the old and the blue. I hope you like it. It’S… it’s beautiful. And that it came from my — you. So, it belonged to my m– it belonged to harmony. She gave it to me on my 16th birthday, and according to her, turquoise is supposed to bring peace, luck, and protection.

[ Chuckles ] I love this. I love it. I will love it for the rest of my life. Thank you. I told you this was a good idea. Right?

[ Laughs ] Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. You know, I always — I always love coming here. There’s something so calming about the ocean. Yeah. When you guys were kids, it was — we had the greatest time. And it’s ironic because I bought this island because I-I want to spend the rest of my life here. I wanted it alone without anybody. Now it’s turned out to be the opposite. This has become my family refuge. And now… …it’s the place where I’m gonna get married. Yeah. I-I can’t help but think about coming here as a kid. With morgan. And whenever I smell the ocean air, I just — I just think of my brother. Yeah, I think of your brother morgan every day. Me too. And, dad, I — I hope you know how much he loved you. And I really think he’d be very happy for you today. Thank you for saying that. And, uh…me, I’m — I’m happy for you, too. Um, pilar, where’s avery now? Pilar: She’s with my mom. I’ve been trying to get ahold of ms. Jerome since last night, and I can’t receive a response back, not even a text. And it’s just not like her. She was supposed to pick up avery at 5:00 P.M. And she never showed up. Maybe she just got the days mixed up. No, no. Look. I know ava and how much she cares for avery. She doesn’t just forget to pick her up or mix up days. And I know avery’s dad is out of town for the wedding for a few days. And it’s not that I mind taking care of avery. She’s an absolute joy. But when I don’t hear from ms. Jerome, it just feels like something’s wrong. Look. It’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna find her. I don’t know. Maybe I’m being paranoid. I’ve been overthinking things ever since the day avery wandered away from me in the park. Look, I-I thought about calling your mom, but she’s been dealing with so much with mr. Cain in the hospital. That’s why I came to you, josslyn. W-what do you think? Should we call your mom? Look. I kind of want to leave my mom out of this because — you’re right. She has a lot on her plate right now. Let’s establish a timeline. When and where did you last see ms. Jerome? From a-a life of crime to finding god and turning himself into a new man and preaching to his inmates. And he has taken all of his possessions and he has sold them and given that money to charity. My client has made it a mission for him to help his former inmates build better and honorable lives. Warden garten: It isn’t cyrus renault’s first day at pentonville, but it is his first day as a model prisoner. I’m often dubious of people who claim to find religion, but in mr. Renault’s case, it seems to certainly have made him a better person. He’s been a good example to his fellow prisoners, and he truly has earned a position of trust. Medically speaking, cyrus renault is still recovering from his heart attack, a heart attack that has done irreparable damage to his heart and left him extremely weak. I do not believe that he is physically a threat to anybody. In fact, if he were to remain in custody without proper and adequate medical care, he could become debilitated, vulnerable to attack himself, unable to defend himself. So it’s your contention that if cyrus renault is released back into society he could not harm another person? Yes. That is what I believe.


You know, we’re at a destination wedding on a gorgeous island. Don’t you think you want to take a little time to take that in instead of being buried in your phone? That is ironic coming from you. Where’s dad anyway? Oh. Uh, yeah. You know him. Even though this is supposed to be a stripped-down elopement, he still wants everything to be perfect, so, of course, he’s at the chapel making sure everything is ready to go. It’s my wedding day. We both know it’s not…my first. I’m just praying that it… it’s my last. When nina came into my life… …I didn’t know who I was. She made me feel whole again. And I started to believe that if… even if I didn’t remember my past, that my present life would be enough. And then a miracle happened. I remembered who I was. I remembered my children. My grandchildren. But I could not shake the feelings that I had for nina. I love her with all my heart. Please, lord. Help me make this day special. Help me make nina happy… in the way that she deserves.

[ Line ringing ] Ava: You’ve reached

ava jerome.

I’m unable to take your call.

Leave me a message.

[ Beep ] Ava! Your voicemail again? Come on! I have been trying to get ahold of you for days. I just feel completely out of touch with you. Well, I’ll just leave it on your voicemail. Um… I’m in puerto rico. And it’s my wedding day, ava. Please, please, please. Do not feel, like, you know, slighted because I didn’t invite you. We just decided, sonny and I, that it was just gonna be a small ceremony with just family, you know, and… and guess what. My daughter. She’s here, too. She gave me th– well, I’ll just tell you when I — when I talk to you. I was just thinking about you, and I just wanted to let you know this is the happiest day of my life. And I wanted to thank you, ava. Thank you for being my friend, for being so supportive. You’re always there for me. And I wish you were here right now to share all of this with me. But I tell you what. When I get back into town, we are gonna have a drink and we are going to talk about everything. Do you hear me? I love you. I miss you. I’ll see you soon. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. Pilar, thank you for coming to me. Is it okay if avery stays with you and your mom a little bit longer? Yeah, of course. Okay. I know that you’re worried about ava, but just try not to let avery know what’s going on. And stay in touch with josslyn in case you hear anything from ava. And you should reach out to dante. It can’t hurt to put it on the pcpd’s radar that ava might be missing. Right. Right. I’ll keep you updated. Thank you. So what do you think? I mean, do you think ava’s in danger? Yeah. Without a doubt.


[ Speaking spanish ] It’s my pleasure, mr. Corinthos. Are you all ready, donna? Yes! Yeah? Are you all set with your flower-girl basket? I’m ready to go! Okay, buddy. Do you know what to do as a ring bearer? Yeah. I carry the rings. My man.

[ Cellphone dings ] Daddy. Mommy says you look at your phone too much. Stop. It’s almost time for grandpa sonny and grandma nina to get married. Who are you texting? You should get back to studying. You have a lot of exams coming up. Well, what are you gonna do? My job. Okay? Pilar’s really freaked out that ava might be missing, and I need to take that very seriously. Are you gonna let sonny know what’s going on? Not unless it’s an emergency. Okay? I’ll keep you updated. Wait. Look. Ava is avery’s mom. And if something’s happening to her, I want to help. I’m not the type to just sit on the sidelines, and I think, by now, you know that. Yeah. I do know that. Let’s get started.

[ Grunts ]

[ Footsteps approach ] Mason: Going somewhere, ava? Well, you didn’t think i was gonna sit around here doing nothing, did you? No. I knew you’d try to break out. Please be aware that that window is nailed shut. And as you can see, there are bars on it. You really just need to come to terms with you’re not leaving until the boss says you do. Bless you.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I was wondering when you would call me. Yeah. What do you got for me? I have done exactly what you’ve asked me to do. Now you let ava go. Oh, you know by now. Neither one of us is calling the shots. -You’re gonna be on soon. -I know. I’m ready. I think it’s your turn to take your place, best man. Alright. Will do. Alright. You ready for this, dad? Let’s do it. Okay. Father, we’re ready. You look pretty. Thank you.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey. Hey, Alex. What are you doing here? Can’t a father stop by to see his son?

Excuse me. May I help you? I apologize for showing up unannounced. Your valet Henderson told me I would find you in here. I’m sorry, but who are you? My name is Constantine Miliones. I was a close, personal friend of your late husband. You and Victor were friends? Lifelong friends. I’m here to offer my sincere apologies to you for the loss of such a great man.

I can only imagine how hard this must feel for you and your family.

Yeah, Teresa Tate is fine. He is settling in the guest room. Yeah, no, no, listen, I’ll tell him that you said goodnight. Yeah, no, I will. I gotta go. Okay, I’ll talk to you later.

Chloe, hey. Hi, uh, can I come in? Yeah, yeah, sure, of course. So, what’s up? I came to say goodbye. I’m leaving Salem.

You’re leaving town with Chloe? I know this must seem sudden. Well, yeah, you could say that. You just got back. Are you and Chloe back together? Just friends. Friends leaving town together. Not… Together, together, just, uh, you know, at the same time. To the same city. I will admit, I still have feelings for Chloe.

Does she still have feelings for you? She does. But, she just ended things with Xander, and… I don’t want to get ahead of myself. Oh, so going to New York is… Is about each of us getting a fresh start. Hmm. And hey, New York’s not that far away. We’ll be back! You and Sean can visit whenever you want. Well, that’s not gonna happen.

Why not? What do you mean? Well, I guess I don’t know where things stand with Sean and me. You see, he… Cheated on me.

I really appreciate you arranging this on such short notice. I um, I need to get my life back on track. Especially after all the mistakes that I’ve made.

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

So, are you moving to New York because of what happened with Xander? Yes, and no, but it was definitely a part of the decision making. But mostly I just. I feel like I need to hit the reset button and be close to Parker. Yeah, well he’s gonna be psyched to have his mom in the same zip code, that’s for sure.

Not as psyched as his mom will be. You know, Theresa and I, we don’t, uh, we don’t agree on much, but we do agree that it is nice to have Tate with us. Oh yeah, how’s that going? He’s a teenager, you know, so, we’re working through it. It’s fine. Well, that’s good. It’ll be good for him to be around you. Yeah, I, um, I’m hoping.

When do you leave? Tomorrow morning. Oh. Uh, with Phillip. What?

Yeah, Phillip is moving to New York as well.

Uh, so. Sean’s been cheating on you with his partner’s sister. Well, he said it only happened once. Just like a, I don’t know, a drunken one night thing. But, I mean, I believe him. He doesn’t really have a reason to lie to me at this point. So, are you guys trying to work things out? Uh, actually, we’re not. No point.

No point. I don’t think that there’s anything that we could do to get this back on track. I think my marriage may be over. Uh, Talia, are you, uh, you looking for your sister? No, um, actually, I came to see you. I figured we should probably talk, seeing that now your wife knows about us. Yeah, you, uh, you heard about that.

Yeah. So where do you guys stand? You think she’d be able to forgive you? I don’t know. Belle’s This might be her breaking point.

How you doing? Nice and chilled. Yep. I,

um, just want to state the obvious. You are still my son. In every way that counts. And nothing will change that. I hope you feel that way too.

I do. Of course I do. I’m sorry if I didn’t react well when I first found out the truth.

But now that I’ve had some time to process it, I need you to know that I love you. Very much. I’m grateful for you. I’m grateful for my brothers. I’m very relieved to hear you say that. Come here. I love you, Alex. I love you, too. I love you, too. Now, um, What about Maggie? What about it? Well, I heard you took her spot as CEO of Titan.

Yeah, I did. I’m Victor’s heir. Uh huh. So, does that mean you’ll be staking your claim to the family home next?

Thank you.

You have a lovely home, Mrs. Kiriakis. Thank you. It feels kind of empty, though, without my husband. Victor spoke of you often. I know how much he loved and he cherished you. Thank you for saying that. Mr. Melionis. Oh, please, Chris. Constantine. Constantine. Yes. But surely, you didn’t come all this way just to…

Share condolences. A letter or phone call felt too impersonal. Besides, I have something for you.

Sean, I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. Maybe after your wife is done with the shock and the anger, you guys can move past this. Nah, it’s, it’s a lot more complicated than that. God, I just hate the thought that I’m the one responsible for breaking up your marriage. No, listen, my marriage was on rocky ground before you even entered the picture.

And so, if this is the end, the blame falls directly

on me. Some people would say I had this coming. Who the hell would say that? Jan Spears. Jan Spears is a jealous psychopath. Okay, then. My sister, Sammy. Oh, come on. Sammy would not want your marriage to fall apart. Oh, right. After I slept with EJ, she warned me that karma was going to bite me in the ass one day.

You know what? Who cares what Sammy or Jan thinks? Even if they’re right? I mean, come on, Philip. I cheated on Sean with EJ DiMera. Hell, I cheated on him with you. You and Sean weren’t married when we were together. We were engaged. We were basically kids then. And didn’t you tell me that you and Sean were separated when you slept with EJ?

We were on a break. That’s the defense you think I should use? And, and what about the guy in Maine? Belle, I know Sean. I promise you he hasn’t been sitting around waiting to even the score. Look, I can see that you’re hurt and angry. Why wouldn’t you be? But you can’t give up on your marriage. Sean’s in a dark place, but you can help him.

Go talk to him, Val. Right now.

Okay. Okay, I will, but only because you’re so insistent. I am! Because I know you two are meant to be together. Well, am I gonna see you again before you leave for New York? Probably not. What’s been really nice, having you back after all this time. And I am so proud of you for getting our life back together.

Sean can do it too. Now, go tell that jerk you still love him.

So, you’re giving Phillip another chance, huh? No, we are not. Moving to New York, both of us at the same time, but like I said, we are not a couple. Yeah, yeah, but there’s a chance that you two might end up getting together, right? Could happen. I mean, sure, yeah, it could. You know, he still loves me, and I still have unresolved feelings for him.

And I would understand why you’d think it’d be crazy for me to even consider that, considering everything that he put us through. But at the end of the day, I hope that you trust me to make the right choices.

All I’ve ever wanted is for you to be happy. That’s it. I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, you two were high school sweethearts, and you… You never really get over your first love. I don’t think that’s true. I do. Because you were my first love. And I don’t think I’m ever gonna really get over you.

What is that warning about Greeks wearing gifts? I assure you, this is no Trojan horse. Please, open it. Thank you. My goodness. A photo album? It belonged to my parents. Oh. It’s beautiful.

Oh, these pictures. Oh, is that Victor? It most certainly is. Oh. I’ve never seen a photo of him at this age. He was so young and handsome. There are many pictures of him in there. Our families were very close. Hmm. He had such style. Well, and that twinkle in his eye. I wanna thank you for letting me see this. I appreciate it.

It is yours to keep. I hope it brings you comfort for days and years to come. It’s such a special gift. I, how can I ever repay you? Do you know Victor loaned me money when I started my restaurant? I didn’t know that. And when I tried to repay him, he wouldn’t accept a penny. He wouldn’t even take the free meals I offered when he visited.

So, let’s consider it even. Besides, I would consider your smile payment enough.

You’re making it sound like I just kicked Auntie Maggie to the curb. Well, didn’t you? No. I offered for her to stay on and come work for me. Huh. How gracious of you. More gracious than Maggie was when she fired my ass. Oh, so who can blame you for, you know, wanting a little payback, right? No, no, no, no, that’s not what’s going on here.

Then what is it? Like I said, I’m Victor’s heir. I know this business. I belong at the top of his company. Yes, Maggie was his wife, and despite our differences, I know she and Victor loved each other very much. And I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her.

So you were sincere when you offered her a job. Of course. And as far as the mansion goes, Victor left half of it to me. He left the other half to Maggie. So even if I wanted to give her the boot, I couldn’t do it. And I don’t, I don’t want to. You believe me, right?

Yeah, I do. I believe you. Alright, thank you. And I, I’m sorry if I was, uh, you know, so accusatory. I didn’t really know how it all went down, Alex. Hey, I get it. I get why you’d be worried. But, I’m telling you, it’s not like I just found out that Victor is my bio dad, and now I’m suddenly swimming in this pool of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck.

Now there’s an image. I’m still me, alright?

I’m just trying to come to terms with this, new reality, like everybody else.

Seriously, Mom? You really gonna pretend you don’t see me sitting here? What I would really like to get ensnared in Chloe’s web again.

I really want you to know that I’m sorry for, uh, everything. You have nothing to apologize for. Um, are you forgetting that all the hell that Kristen and Rachel put you through? Come on. No, I haven’t forgotten that, but Brady, you tried your best in an impossible situation. Yeah, but my best wasn’t good enough, because here we are again, saying goodbye.

Listen. I want you to know that I don’t regret a single moment of our time together. Really? Come on, not a single, I mean, what about the times that Kristen threatened you? I mean, multiple times, right? Okay, maybe a moment or two, but seriously, sitting here with you as a friend, I’m so grateful for all of it.

And you will always be here, in my heart. Always. And you will be fine.

Listen, Sean, we both made bad decisions that night. I mean, you were hurt about your grandfather and your dad, and I was hurt about the breakup with Chanel. You add alcohol to that and stir it up, and… Yeah, it’s a perfect recipe for disaster. Exactly. So, Sean… How about you give yourself the same grace that you’re giving me?

You’re a great guy, okay? And everybody knows that except for you.

I hope I’m not interrupting.

Belle. I need to speak to my husband, do you mind? Yeah, no, no, of course. I was just leaving anyways. Bye, Sean.

Tell her she came here to apologize. I’m not here to talk about

Talia. Okay. What is it you want to talk about? You and me. I am hurt and I hate what you did. But I would like to try to forgive you. And get this behind us so that we can try and save our marriage.

Look, okay, um, I’d better get going if I’m gonna be ready to leave tomorrow. I have so much packing to do. I’m

gonna miss you. I’m really gonna miss you too.

Hey, you fill up my vest, will ya? Really? You mean that? Yeah, really. No, no, of course. No, I do. Listen. I want you to have the best life. Whatever that means. And if you can find it in your giant heart to forgive Phillip, then maybe I’m not ready too, but he must be on the right track.

Chloe is the reason that you were in a mental hospital halfway across the world. Chloe didn’t do anything wrong. Oh my God. Well, no, because she never does. But the people who get involved with her, their lives end up in ruins. That’s not true.

Phillip. You did terrible things. She made you crazy. Literally. And I’m better now. Okay. So why risk relapse by running off to New York with her? You’re, you’re barely back on your feet. And I know Chloe. I know her. She will drag you down again. Look, I know it’s easy to blame Chloe for how things ended up last time.

But she didn’t make me do all those unspeakable things to her and Brady. And we’re not running off to New York together. Okay, so what do you call it? Two friends, with history, getting a fresh start. History. Okay, so is that what they call toxic baggage these days? Because that’s what you share. And if you value yourself at all, you will call off this trip before it’s too late.

I,

I hope I didn’t make you sad. No, no. This was, this beautiful. Seeing Victor so young, I, I felt like I was, I was getting to know a whole new side of my husband. I’m glad I could provide you with a small glimpse into his past. Yeah. But you can’t say that man didn’t have a lust for life. Oh, he embraced life like no man I’ve ever known before or since.

I really should be going. You aren’t heading straight back to Greece, I hope. Oh, no. This old body cannot handle jet lag the way it used to. So then, you’re staying in Salem? For a while, at least. Victor told me so much about this strange and special place. I’m excited to explore it. Where are you staying? I was hoping you could help with that.

Would it be possible for you to recommend a decent motel that is not too expensive? A motel? Oh no, no, no, no, no, I won’t hear this. No friend of Victor Kiriakis is staying in a motel. You’ll just, you’ll stay here. Oh no, I could not impose. Have you seen the size of this place? Trust me, it’s not an imposition.

But you don’t even know me. Tonight, I have felt closer to Victor. Since, I don’t know, since I lost him. And that’s thanks to you, Constantine. So, you are staying here in Victor’s home. And I won’t hear another word to the contrary.

Now that we’ve established that you won’t be forcing Victor’s widow out into the street, I was wondering if, um, if I’m moving back in? You are lord of the manor. Or at least half of the manor. Doesn’t make much sense staying in a modest apartment when you co own a sprawling estate. You want me to move back in?

Yeah. It would be nice to have you there. Sheesh. Most parents can’t wait for their grown ass kids to move out. Well, technically, I’m the one who’s freeloading. I’ll think about it. In the meantime, just keep an eye on things over there for me, huh? Well, there’s not much to keep an eye on. It’s just Maggie and Bonnie and me in a big, old house with a full staff.

I will think about it. Got it.

Alice, um, I’m proud of you. For what? For not swimming in a pool of gold coins. It’s heady stuff to be handed all that money and all that power at your age. I’ve seen it up close, how it can corrupt. How it can change a person. And I can tell already that you’re not letting it go to your head. I’m trying my best.

If you ever start to look at me, and not recognize me, you’re gonna let me know. Right? Dad. I’ll let you know, son. I promise. I gotta get to work.

Thanks for the beer. Pleasure.

Oh, hi. Hi, Marlena. Hi. I thought I heard voices out here. I’m assuming you had company. Yeah, yeah, I did. Uh, Chloe, Chloe was here. Oh, honey, are you all right? I just found out that she’s, uh, she’s moving to New York. With Philip. We’ve, we’ve been over for a while, but I’m gonna miss her. I know you will. You’ve always had a very, very special relationship.

Yeah. Sorry. That’s the office.

What?

The plans are made, Mom. I’m going to New York. Liz, Chloe. Yes? You are aware that she just broke up with, uh, Xander Cook, right? So? So? You don’t think there’s a possibility this is just an elaborate ploy to make him jealous? Chloe’s done with Xander. She told me she’s over him, and I believe her. Well, there’s your first mistake.

Look, Chloe and I were taking things slow. Believe me, I have no interest in feeling how I felt last time. I hated who I became. I won’t let that happen again. How do you know? I know, because… Mom, I learned my lesson. You don’t have to worry about me. Of course I have to worry about you. I worry about you because I’m your mother.

And because I love you more than anything. I know. And I know you just want the best for me.

I thought that I had lost you forever. I watched you struggle through this whole past year and then come out of it. Only to find out that you’ve lost your father.

If you and dad hadn’t helped me get the best care possible. I could have ended up in prison. Or locked away in Bayview. Well, Victor and I did what we did because we loved you and we believed in you. And I still do. I love you too. More than you even realize.

Hi. Sorry to interrupt. Uh,

I wasn’t expecting this. Yeah, neither was I actually. I was ready to… Give up, but I think that if we put in the time that maybe we can get through this, you know, we’ve come this far, haven’t we? I think our marriage and our family deserve a chance to heal. Yeah. Uh, Belle, I can’t tell you how, how nice it is to hear you say this.

That you want to, that you want to forgive me and that you want to work on our marriage. But, um, I’m not going to be here to do that. Let me

get this straight. You, you quit Basic Black to go back to Titan and I got to hear about it from HR. And then I get to hear about my grandfather’s will from Bonnie of all people? I meant to call you. Call me? I think that’s a face to face scenario. You’re absolutely right, and that’s what I should have done.

I’m, I’m sorry. It’s just that things have been a little chaotic recently. So, you’re Victor’s son? How about that, huh? How about that, yeah. Listen, when I found out that he left me half of his estate, I felt like I owed it to the old man’s memory to go back there and run Titan properly. But yes, I should have let you know right away.

Yeah, well, especially considering I hired you right after Maggie gave you your walking papers, right? I know, I know. But I’m gonna make it up to you, and I already figured out how. This should be rich. It is. Almost as rich as I am. That’s, that’s, that’s good. I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I’m kidding.

Basic Black’s exclusivity rights with DiMera Enterprises. It’s ending soon, right? That is correct. You should come on over to Titan. We will make you a better deal than you’ve ever had with DiMera. And then you will be a part of the Empire. Think about it. Victor’s son and Victor’s grandson back together again.

Wow. First you… You stabbed me in the back, and now you want to own me. You really are Victor’s son, aren’t you? Okay.

Hello? Hello there. Oh, Justin, you’re home. Um, I’d like for you to meet, um, Constantine… Meliunas. Meliunas. He’s, he’s, um, Constantine was a very dear friend of your Uncle Victor’s. Oh, Justin Kiriakis. Nice to meet you. A pleasure. I’ve heard so much about you and your family. Yeah, well, uh, so you’re, you came to offer your condolences?

Yes. All the way from Greece. But he’s going to be staying with us for a while.

So, Philip just told me about your plan. And? And?

If my son’s happy, then I’m happy. Thanks for saying that, Mom. Yes, thank you, Kate. So, I’m sure you have a lot of details to iron out before you depart, so I will let you get to that. I’ll stop by to say goodbye to Mara before we leave. You better. Hmm.

Did Chloe… Yes? Be careful of my son’s heart.

Oh, wow, that went a lot better than I expected. Yeah, it did. How’d it go with Brady? Uh, he wished us both well. Really? Even me? Even you. Wow. Generous of them. Thought we were gonna get nothing but grief. I think we should consider this a good sign. I agree. Oh, I almost forgot. I saw Belle. Oh yeah? How’s she doing?

Not well. You know that rough patch she and Sean have been going through? Yeah? It just got a whole lot rougher. You’re going away? Yeah, I found an outpatient rehab center near where my dad’s being treated. Oh, okay. Well, that makes sense. You would want to be near your mom and your dad. Yeah, Ben and Ciara are both there.

I’ll be able to spend some time with my little nephew. Yeah, that’ll be good. You’ll have your whole family there to support you. So, how long are you thinking? Like, six weeks? I mean, I can give up some of my caseload. It might be hard, but I think I can do it, even if it’s just for a little while. Or, I can, I can put in a leave of absence like you did, probably here at the Salem PD, we can get a short term rental.

Belle, I’m, I’m not gonna be gone for just a couple of months. Oh. Okay, well, how long are you thinking? I don’t know. As long as it takes for me to get my head on straight. But the thing is, I, um, Like, I need to do this without you.

Oh wow, poor Belle. I mean, I knew that things were rocky between her and Sean, but I never thought he’d do something like this. She’s pretty messed up over it. But, I convinced her not to give up on Sean without a fight. I’ll be sure to check in with her before we leave tomorrow. Who knows, Belle’s talk with Sean goes well, maybe we can all have a going away breakfast.

A last blast gang send off. I’d like that. So, we’re really doing this? Yeah, looks like it. No expectations. No promises. But a whole lot of hope.

So you don’t want me to go with you? Look, if, if you’re there, my focus is going to be on trying to, to save our marriage. And what I need to be focused on, trying to save myself. And you don’t think that I can help? It’s, Bella, I don’t, it’s like they, it’s like they tell you on an airplane. Right before you take off.

You know, in case the, uh, the cabin loses pressure, you’d… Put your mask on yourself first, yeah? Look, I can’t be worried about whether or not our marriage has oxygen when I can’t breathe myself. So you can’t breathe when I’m around, that’s what you’re saying? No, no, no, Bella, it’s not… I’m not… I’m not saying this right.

I… I just need some… I need some time away to work on my problems. If you and I are gonna ever stand a chance of rebuilding our marriage.

I’m sorry. I hope that you, uh, I hope you understand. Yeah, I get it. I don’t like it, but I get it. I think what I don’t understand is why you can lean on your mom and your sister but not me. I’m your wife. I know, Susan. This is not about me choosing them over you. It’s not. It’s about me showing up for them.

Showing up for them and facing what it is that I’ve done. When I left my dad and I came back here, I just… I just spiraled down, and not only did I, did I not see the damage that I caused, I left, I left my sister and my mom there to pick up the pieces, and I just feel like I need to be there with them, you know, to help myself heal.

And when you do that, are you gonna come home to me?

Yes. I want that more than anything.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: My father and your mother together. This– this is insane.

Finn: No, I– I know. I– I couldn’t believe it when they told me.

Hope: Okay, my dad said that he is in love with sheila. In love. I mean, that doesn’t just happen overnight. They clearly must have been carrying on like this for a while and kept it a secret. I mean… what is my dad thinking?

Sheila: It’s kind of a relief our kids know, don’t you think?

Deacon: I think I’m feeling a lot of things. Relief isn’t one of them.

Sheila: Okay, I mean, finn and– and hope, we knew that they were going to be upset by this. There wasn’t anything that was ever gonna change that. I gotta tell you, my big takeaway from all of this is their reaction to our relationship proves that our– our children love us.

Deacon: That’s your big takeaway?

Sheila: Never underestimate the power of love, deacon. Wouldn’t it be something if our relationship is actually something that brings our families together?

Deacon: Yeah, that would be something.

Ridge: Mm.

Brooke: Ah. If we keep this up, we’ll never get any work done.

Ridge: You nuts? This is how I work. This is how I get inspired.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Brooke: Well, I have to say, this is really inspired.

Ridge: Well, that’s what I’m talking about. Look at it. And this is because of you. Like this. See this, how this sparkles? The way your eyes sparkle when you give me that look? That. That one? Yeah. Mm, right there. And see how this falls right here?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Just like your neck.

[ Brooke giggles ] Yeah?

Brooke: Wow. I didn’t know a neck could do all that.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. Your neck, your eyes, your… neck.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: I’m just a simple man. With a woman like you, I can do anything.

Rj: I’m just gonna pretend I didn’t see the letter of resignation.

Luna: Rj, please. It’s for the best.

Rj: Luna, I’m not gonna let you walk out that door.

Brooke: So, you’re still confident that you’re going to win the design challenge?

Ridge: Yeah, I am. And sometimes, I wish I weren’T.

Brooke: Because of rj?

Ridge: Yeah. I don’t wanna destroy his confidence. And I get it, no one just walks up to the plate and hits a home run the first time, even with eric forrester coaching you. I just– I sometimes wish he were working with me, you know?

Brooke: Mm.

Ridge: Maybe save him for what’s to come.

Rj: You told me that it’s a family matter. Come on, let me– let me help you. Let me see what I can do.

Luna: Being here with you at forrester, I mean, it was too good to be true. And listen, it means the world to me that you want me to stay, but… it can’t happen. It’s better for everyone if I just go, okay? Just please trust me on this.

Rj: I trust you. Of course, I trust you. I want you just to trust me.

Luna: Rj, please. I have to go.

Rj: Please, just tell me what’s going on, okay? Please, just open up to me.

Sheila: Tell me what you’re feeling. I mean, seriously, don’t you feelerhaour children know about us?

Deacon: I feel like I just pulled the pin on a hand grenade.

[ Sheila laughs ] I think we ought to wait ’til the dust settles before we tell anyone about the engagement. It might push ’em right over the edge. I mean, love is one thing, but marriage?

Sheila: All right, I– I’m fine with keeping things under wraps a bit longer. But I’m serious! I really think our relationship could be what brings us all closer together. One big, happy family. I can see it.

Deacon: How many? ‘Cause I think you might need glasses.

Sheila: Just stop.

Hope: Seriously, uh, thank you for making me go see my dad because I cannot believe this. I mean, he’s in love with a legitimate psychopath. I just don’t understand what my dad could– could possibly see in her. I mean, he is endangering everybody by doing this. I mean… I can’t let him go through with this. I can’t let him do this.

You can feel it…

Sheila: What?

Deacon: I just never pegged you for a glass is half full kinda gal. You are, though, aren’t you?

Sheila: You know what? You’ve got to work towards something or– or what’s the point? I’ve never been accused of giving up without a fight.

Deacon: Truer words have never been spoken.

Sheila: I’m so happy. I– I’m free. I found love and I’ve got you and the children.

Deacon: The children… you really think that our relationship can be the glue that will hold our families together?

Sheila: I’ll tell you what. More and more, I am certain of it. I– I can see it.

Deacon: I don’t want you to be disappointed. You know, reluctant acceptance might be the best that we can expect.

Sheila: Deacon, deacon. How many times have I told you to not doubt me? I’m a fighter, remember?

Deacon: Damn straight I do. That’s one of the things I love the most about you. Come here.

Sheila: Now, that’s my daddy.

Finn: Sorry, I didn’t give you a heads up. I just thought that should be something you hear directly from your dad. It didn’t feel right for me to drop that bomb on you.

Hope: No, I get it. I don’t blame you for anything. I mean, obviously, my dad knew how I was going to react, ’cause he kept it quiet. So, I don’t know if I should be furious with him or terrified for him.

Finn: I think we’re just both still in shock. I mean, our parents claim to be in love. I mean, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to wrap my head around that.

Hope: Well, this entire situation is just dangerous, and my dad somehow thinks that his love has– has changed sheila magically somehow. I mean, I–

Finn: Well, no one could change sheila. I got the scars to prove it.

Hope: I– I’m– I’m going to tell my mom. Yeah. I’m– I’m going to tell her about this because she– she’ll know what to do.

Brooke: Rj is going into this cutthroat fashion industry and I think he’s going to be facing a lot more challenging situations than working with his granddad. So, we can’t baby him or else he will be eaten alive.

Ridge: I know that. You’re right. Every designer has to find his own path, his own ideas and I think– I think rj is on his way. He’s designing now. It’s one of the proudest moments of my life.

Brooke: I know you wanna work side by side with him and I’m sure you will one day, but right now, what he needs is probably to work with his granddad instead of his father.

Ridge: Yeah. I see a lot of myself in him when I was his age. I just– I want him to know that he’s loved, that he’s supported and that we will do anything to help him succeed, right?

Brooke: Of course. Of course.

Rj: Whatever it is, luna, you can– you can tell me. All right? Please let me help.

Luna: Okay. Okay, you’re right. I have been keeping something from you.

Rj: What is it? Here, come on. Let’s sit down.

Luna: Um, these past few weeks have been, like, the best of my life.

Rj: Well, then why do you wanna leave?

Luna: My mom didn’t know that I was interviewing for a job here, so when I had decided to come to L.A. And follow my dreams, I– I knew that I had to do it on my own.

Rj: Why?

Luna: Because she’d be worried about me. She didn’t want me to put myself in A… bad situation.

Rj: Luna, how could working here put you in a bad situation? I don’t– I don’t get it.

Luna: There’s someone in my family who wouldn’t want me to be here, who wouldn’t approve. My aunt.

Rj: Your aunt? Does she work at forrester?

Luna: No, but–

Rj: No?

Luna: Um… your sister’s mother-in-law? That’s my aunt li and she’s the reason why I wrote the letter of resignation. I don’t know, she just– she doesn’t want me here. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Deacon: Okay, then, so… we’re in agreement. We’ll keep the news about our engagement quiet for the time being.

Sheila: [ Sighs ] Oh, as much as I wanna scream it from the rooftops, I just, I think it will freak finn and– and hope out.

Deacon: Yeah, and the rest of L.A.

Sheila: Okay, so we will just keep our wonderful news for another day.

Finn: Hey, just be prepared ’cause, I mean, once you tell your mom about sheila and deacon, all hell’s gonna break loose.

Hope: No, I know. But thank you for telling me, finn, and giving me the heads up. I mean, you’re the only person in the world who knows what this feels like.

Finn: Look, sheila’s all love and sunshine now, but we know how she can turn if she feels threatened.

Hope: And that’s what I’m worried about. I want to keep my dad out of harm’s way, but my mom does have a way of getting through to him. Maybe she can talk some sense into deacon and put a stop to this– this insanity between our parents before it goes too far.

Luna: My aunt li was just here and she was so furious. She made me write that letter.

Rj: I can’t even believe this.

Luna: I know, I’m sorry. You shouldn’t be dragged into this.

Rj: No, I just– I- I just don’t understand. It doesn’t make any sense.

Luna: I should’ve been honest with you from day one, but, I don’t know, I guess I was just so happy about getting this job and… I should’ve told you about my connection to finn and your sister.

Rj: No, it’s just I don’t understand why li doesn’t want you to work here. I mean, I feel like she’d be really happy for you.

Luna: Well, li is extremely protective of finn. She sees forrester as a– as a place for him, for your family. Not for me and my mom.

Rj: Why?

[ Luna sighing ]

Luna: My aunt li and my mom, they have a very difficult relationship. I mean, she’s always been so hard on my mom and even though they’re sisters, they’re… I don’t know. They’re very different people. Do you remember that phone call that made me really upset?

Rj: Yeah.

Luna: That was my mom.

Rj: Well, what’d she say?

Luna: Uh, my mom told me that I should leave forrester immediately. That she was afraid of something like this happening, that aunt li would find out that I was working here and everything would come crashing down.

Rj: I’m just– I’m so sorry that you’ve been dealing with this alone.

Luna: I feel terrible for keeping this from you. Listen, I really don’t wanna cause any trouble. I think it’s best if I just leave. This isn’t charmin!

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Aside from rubbing your thigh, I am enjoying this incredibly peaceful moment because it’s only a matter of time before brooke comes knocking on that door.

Brooke: Sounds like the invites were creating quite a buzz from what katie said. A special engagement featuring forrester couture’s latest collection, available for same-day purchase. Who wouldn’t be excited about that?

Ridge: Little do they know, they are just there to settle a score between father and son. Winner takes all.

Brooke: Well, I’m not gonna lie, I am excited.

Ridge: You’re excited?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Even though you know I’m going to win?

[ Brooke giggling ]

Brooke: Oh, honey.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Hi. Are you okay?

Hope: No. I saw finn earlier.

Ridge: What’s going on? This have something to do with steffy and the kids?

Hope: No. I, um… sorry, I think I’m still processing. I’m in shock.

Ridge: Well, take a breath. What are you talking about? What’s going on?

Hope: Okay, so– so finn actually came to visit me here earlier and he said that there was something weighing on him and he needed to tell me something and– and then all I could get out of him was that I needed to go see dad.

Brooke: Deacon? Is– is everything all right?

Hope: Well, I went to go to his apartment to find out for myself and it turns out, um… [ Clears throat ] Dad is seeing someone. He’s in love.

Ridge: In love?

Brooke: Wha– what? I– I didn’t even know he was dating.

Hope: Yeah. Well, it was news to me, too.

Brooke: Well, have you seen her?

Hope: Yeah, she was actually at the apartment and, um… I can’t believe I’m about to say this and these words are about to come out of my mouth, but the woman that dad is involved with… is sheila carter.

Luna: I’m really sorry I didn’t tell you I was related to li. I hope you haven’t lost faith in me.

Rj: Why would I lose faith in you?

Luna: Because I kept something from you? From the day I was being interviewed. I– I wasn’t trying to be dishonest. I’m gonna go. My– my mom was right. I– I should not have come to L.A.

Rj: No. Luna, your mom was not right, okay? And I wouldn’t think any less of you because you didn’t tell me that li is your aunt.

Luna: You wouldn’t?

Rj: No! Of course not. What I feel– I just feel bad that you’ve been going through all of this on your own. I– I don’t understand. Why is li so disapproving of you working here? I feel like she should be proud of you. You– you got this job completely on your own. You didn’t even use your connections to get here. That’s– that’s just impressive.

Luna: No. You don’t understand. You didn’t hear aunt li earlier. She will not be happy if I stay here.

[ Rj scoffing ]

Rj: Aunt li does not get a say, okay? ‘Cause this is your life. This isn’t aunt li’s life. These are your opportunities. You’ve– you earned your place here! You are a beautiful, intelligent woman. You can make those choices for yourself. Listen, there is something that is so special about you, okay? I know we’re just getting to know each other, but I really don’t want this to end, all right? And I don’t care what li says. You’re not leaving forrester. You hear me?

[ Kyle groaning ] Oh, damn it.

Audra: Morning, sleepy head.

Kyle: Morning. Why’d you let me sleep so late?

Audra: You looked so peaceful. I didn’t wanna disturb you.

Kyle: I was out like a rock. I haven’t slept that well in a while.

Audra: Oh. Well, maybe you should stay over more often.

Kyle: Oh. Um, I’ve never done that before, have I?

Audra: First time for everything.

Kyle: Glad to see you first thing in the morning.

Audra: Yeah. It’s a– it’s a nice change of pace.

Kyle: Yeah. Happy we reconnected?

Audra: Definitely.

Kyle: But, it’s not great I wasn’t home when my son woke up. He’s had enough disruption. He needs to know I’ll always be there.

Audra: You live with your entire family. You know, it’s a house full of people. I’m sure he’s fine.

Kyle: I hope so.

Audra: Hey, now you have your own life too, okay? It happens. It’s not the end of the world.

Lily: Hey, you okay? You seem a little off this morning.

Daniel: Yeah. Just a little on edge.

Lily: Let me guess. Your mom?

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Today’s a big day. She officially starts work at omegasphere.

Lily: Well, are you worried? ‘Cause I mean, you’re the one who hired her.

Daniel: I know. I know.

[ Daniel laughing ] Trust me, I want things to work out for her, but with my mother, you just never know how things are gonna play out.

Lily: Well, remember, your intentions were good, right? You’re giving her a fresh start. Something to focus on.

Daniel: Best laid plans.

Lily: Yeah. True. I was just being optimistic for your sake.

Daniel: Well, I’ll give you points for optimism, but I’m pretty sure that skepticism is warranted here.

Lily: Do you still feel like you can’t trust her?

Daniel: I don’t know. I know that she wants to be this honest and sincere person that summer and I can rely on, but… you know, at the end of the day, she’s still phyllis summers, so anything can happen.

Diane: Is it too soon to start planning our next wedding reception?

Jack: I don’t know. Do you think people will find it over the top for us to be married three times in as many months?

Diane: Do we care?

Jack: It’s a good point.

Diane: [ Laughing ] No, we should probably be patient. Maybe we can have a big party for our one year anniversary. How does that sound?

Jack: I’m not sure I can wait that long. We may have to just celebrate our love on our own every hour of every day.

Diane: Mm. You’re such a romantic. What’s up?

Jack: I– I thought I’d hear from phyllis by now.

Diane: After you asked her to help us figure out what tucker’s up to.

Jack: Well, right now she appears to be our best bet.

Diane: Yeah. Well, I thought we were gonna stop worrying about tucker until we have definitive proof that he’s up to something. That his peace offering is a smokescreen.

Jack: Well, that’s how we keep from worrying. We remain vigilant and proactive and we collect as much information as we can just in case.

Diane: Sounds an awful lot like worrying.

Jack: Tucker is a risk taker. That means he’s gonna do everything he has to to get what he wants.

Diane: I know. Agreed. But we don’t even know what, if anything, he does want. Is he coming after jabot? Does he– does he want revenge on the family or neither of the above?

Jack: Well, I would like to be sure of that. And I’m hoping phyllis decides to do the right thing and help us out.

Diane: That’s a lot to expect from the woman who sent me to jail.

Jack: She claims she wants to make amends.

Diane: [ Laughing ] That’s lovely. That’s a lovely sentiment. Clearly, I believe in second chances, but we’re talking about phyllis. And you and I both know that the only side she’s ever really on is her own.

Tucker: Oh, phyllis, phyllis, phyllis. Will you ever learn?

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Wow. Wow.

Danny: Phyllis?

Phyllis: Hey, danny.

Danny: Everything okay? You didn’t live this strong,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Devon: Here it is. Boy loves to just run around this park, doesn’t he?

Abby: He sure does. And mommy loves when he falls asleep because he’s so worn out.

Devon: Aw! That’s why mommy doesn’t wanna play another game of hot potato.

Abby: No, no, no, no. Mommy wants some time with daddy. Like a date night.

Devon: Ooh.

Abby: Yeah. I loved going to the wedding with you. Getting all dressed up and spending time together.

Devon: I love getting dressed up with you too. You looked beautiful that night.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Beautiful right now.

Abby: Mm.

Devon: We got lucky nothing crazy happened that day.

Abby: Yeah. You know, as much as I want my mom to be here and be in town, I think it’s best that she wasn’t here for the wedding. Yeah. I know that she smoothed things over with my uncle jack, but I think seeing diane that happy, her head might’ve exploded.

Devon: How is she doing?

Abby: She’s good. She’s good. You know, she’s in paris. She’s working remotely for jabot. Yeah, but she even admitted that it’s best that she wasn’t there for the party.

Devon: That’s good that she knows her limits.

Abby: Yeah. But I do think that she’s softened a bit towards diane since diane saved her life.

Devon: Do you think that’s gonna last?

Abby: I don’t know. I’m not sure. She’s been through so much lately. I think she’s just trying to regain her footing and I know that she’s really nervous about coming home.

Devon: ‘Cause of tucker.

Abby: Yeah. She doesn’t wanna stir him up again.

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. I don’t really know how he would react if they came face to face. ‘Cause he claims that he’s over her, but I don’t know.

Abby: I think they both hurt each other a lot and now, those wounds are not even close to healing.

Devon: They just seemed so happy together, you know?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: And tucker was such a better version of himself when he was with her. I hate to think that that part of him is just gone.

Abby: Yeah. I did tell my mom about tucker’s gift to my uncle jack and diane.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: That bonsai tree. How it was supposed to be a gesture of peace and harmony.

Devon: It was very tucker.

Abby: Yeah. And then I told her how he told uncle jack that he overreacted when he came back from paris, and that any sort of revenge he was plotting was just done and over.

Devon: Well, did your mom buy that though?

Abby: She wasn’t sure. She admitted that when it comes to tucker, she doesn’t know what to think anymore.

Phyllis: Hey, danny. Good to see you.

Danny: Yeah, you too. So, uh, what are you up to?

Phyllis: I was just doing a little research. A little research. Um, my first day working at omegasphere for daniel.

[ Phyllis chuckling ]

Danny: That is great. I’m so glad you’re seeing this through.

Phyllis: Well, you know, he gave me a great opportunity. I’m thrilled to take it.

Danny: Well, he has faith in you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered you the position.

Phyllis: Yeah, that’s right. I just wanna prove myself, you know, to my kids, to daniel and summer.

Danny: And I believe you will.

Phyllis: I wanted to extend some gratitude to you as well.

Danny: Uh, me? I’m sorry. What did I do?

Phyllis: Well, that conversation we had yesterday.

Danny: Oh.

Phyllis: Yeah. You really helped me. You really helped me change my perspective on things.

Danny: Wow. I didn’t realize I had that effect on you.

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] You do. Thank you for believing in me after everything I’ve done. All of our history.

Danny: I think that we’ve gotten past our history.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Phyllis: Really? I mean, ’cause people say that, but you know, then there is history sometimes it’s hard to get past.

Danny: We’re good, phyllis. I hear you when you say you wanna change. I do.

Phyllis: Thank you. ‘Cause I do wanna change. I really do.

Danny: And seeing you take the initiative to wanna be a better person makes me believe that you’re sincere and I imagine daniel feels the same way.

Phyllis: Yeah. I just wanna do right by my kids.

Danny: Not saying that it won’t be challenging. You know, the straight and narrow path, it’s a delicate one. But you can do anything you want when you’re determined. You’re that kinda person.

Jack: Oh, I got a response.

Diane: What did she say?

Jack: Phyllis has something on tucker.

Diane: Already? What is it?

Jack: No details.

Diane: So, it could be nothing.

Jack: Or it could be something. She’s just being careful. Wouldn’t it be something if phyllis is the one who came through for us?

Diane: Well, good for her if she has.

Jack: Well, I gotta meet her at crimson lights. Hopefully, she will have some inkling as to what tucker is really up to.

Diane: Or maybe she just wants you to believe that she’s willing to help you.

Jack: Hey, are you uncomfortable with my doing this with phyllis? I haven’t asked.

Diane: Of course, I am. Why would I trust her intentions? Jack, I just– I just don’t want her to hurt us.

Jack: She can’T.

Diane: Phyllis is tenacious. I’m sure she wants your forgiveness. Likes your attention. She likes to pull people over to her side, no matter what the cost.

Jack: Listen– listen to me. It’s one meeting. I’m keeping my eyes wide open. I am going in with a glass is half-full approach. Look, if she’s sincere about wanting to make amends, this is a good step in that direction.

Diane: Then, I’ll just cross my fingers.

Jack: I’ll see you at the office.

Diane: Okay. Some luxury creams just sit on top of skin.

Abby: Well, I also told my mom about your suspicion that tucker’s behind mamie’s return to town and her investment in chancellor-winters.

Devon: Oh, yeah. That seems like a pretty convenient coincidence if you ask me. But then tucker claims that there’s nothing to it.

Abby: Well, my mom was not surprised. She said that anything is possible when it comes to tucker. And well, especially now that he doesn’t have her to keep him in line.

Devon: Sure doesn’T.

Abby: Do you think that he’s telling the truth? I mean, should we give him the benefit of the doubt?

Devon: I don’t know. I– I honestly don’t know what to believe anymore ’cause he can deny it all he wants, but I know that I felt the vibe between him and mamie at the abbott house. He was standing right there. It was like they had been in contact before.

Abby: Okay, but would mamie really get involved with someone like tucker? It seems unlikely. And mamie loves my mom and uncle jack and traci like they’re her own. And would she really want to be involved with someone who would hurt one of them?

Devon: I wouldn’t think that she’d do something like that. No, but at the same time, she’s been extremely secretive about this whole investment.

Abby: I don’t know. Maybe she’s telling the truth. I mean, maybe she really just wants to be a part of the family company and she wants to get closer to you and lily.

Devon: I hope so. I do. But I also agree with your mom. Anything is possible when it comes to tucker.

Abby: Well, how do you wanna proceed with your father?

Devon: That’s a great question. I would like to think the best of him and to give him a chance, but it is getting harder and harder to do that.

Lily: Well, listen, I really hope that things work out with phyllis at omegasphere and that she behaves herself.

Daniel: Hm. Works hard? Yes. Behaves?

Lily: [ Laughing ] Well, she knows how amazing you are. Maybe she’ll go easy on you.

Daniel: Oh, yes. My greatness, no matter how well known across the land, has unfortunately never stopped her before. I– I just, you know, I keep telling myself that I gotta be optimistic.

Lily: Cautiously optimistic.

Daniel: Correct. What about you? Did you ever find out what’s going on with mamie? Did you figure out why she made that investment in– in chancellor-winters?

Lily: Uh, no. Not yet. But I really hope it’s as simple as she’s saying and that she just wants to spend time with family.

Daniel: Well, you and devon don’t need any more business chaos.

Lily: No. And jill will have a lot of opinions on the subject, so I’m just trying not to fixate on it.

Daniel: It’s good to, um, to be hopeful though. You know, it doesn’t hurt.

Lily: Yep. Good reminder for both of us. Anyway, I have to go. But, um, what are you doing for lunch later?

Daniel: Spending it with you, if I’m lucky.

Lily: Okay. Sounds good. I’ll see you later then.

Daniel: Yeah. Well, I look forward to it.

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: Okay, you know, if I’m late, it’s your fault.

Daniel: What? Totally worth it.

Lily: I have to go. Okay. I have to go. Bye-bye.

Daniel: Bye.

[ Phone chiming ]

Danny: Hey, listen. Um, I just heard from daniel this morning that heather’s back in town.

Phyllis: Oh, interesting. She’s back in town.

Danny: Yeah.

Phyllis: She left suddenly to portugal. I’m so excited to see lucy. She is so special.

Danny: Well, actually heather’s here alone. Lucy stayed in lisbon with paul and christine. Yeah.

Phyllis: Wow. If that bug says one negative thing about me to my granddaughter–

Danny: Uh, you can use her name, you know. And christine’s not gonna say anything to lucy. Come on. You know her better than that.

Phyllis: Do I?

Danny: You don’t have to like her, but you two are good people, okay? When it comes right down to it.

Phyllis: Oh, wait a second.

[ Chuckling ] Wait a second. Wait, does christine still hold a special place in your heart, even now?

Danny: Of course, she does. As do you. We are all part of the past together. The good and the bad.

Phyllis: Wait a second. I– I thought you said you were with somebody new. That’s what you said around the holidays, that you were with someone new.

Danny: Yeah, I– I did, but that, um, yeah, that didn’t work out.

Phyllis: Are– are you– are you holding out hope that you could be with christine if she doesn’t work things out with paul? What?

Danny: I see you haven’t lost your inherent ability to find drama everywhere.

Phyllis: I– I’m not being dramatic. I’m just asking a question. It’s no big deal.

Danny: Sure.

Phyllis: Are you interested in the bug?

Danny: I want her to be happy. As I want you to be happy.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. Uh, that’s vague. I can’t– wow. I can’t believe this is happening.

Danny: Look–

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] No.

Danny: Hey, hey. Listen, whatever happens, I want us to move forward, okay? Let’s see what happens in the– the next chapter of each one of our lives together. Free from the past.

Phyllis: Right. I’m on board.

[ Daniel sighing ] 1 down, 9 to go.

Kyle: Hey, mom.

Diane: Kyle!

Kyle: Have you seen harrison this morning?

Diane: Uh, yes. I helped him get dressed. He had breakfast and then linda took him to school. He was, um, he was asking about you. He wondered where his daddy was.

Kyle: Damn it. I set my alarm and I slept right through it. I raced home as fast as I could when I woke up.

Diane: Where’d you spend the night?

Kyle: Um, I went out with a friend after the reception. I crashed at their place.

Diane: Oh, I see.

Kyle: Anyway, thank you for looking after harrison. I’m gonna head upstairs and shower.

Diane: Uh, kyle. Look, I know you’ve been having a hard time lately, but this– this isn’t like you. You don’t just neglect your son.

Kyle: Oh, it was just one mistake, mom. I’ll make it up to harrison, but please don’t make me feel worse than I already do.

Diane: All right. Well, let’s not talk about just this morning. I’m– I’m talking about the big picture.

Kyle: Please just stop. You’re blowing this outta proportion.

Diane: No, I’m not. Look, I– I– I get it that you’re struggling to figure things out. Your marriage ended, your career is in flux. Honey, no one would blame you for being off balance. Please, just– just talk to me. Let me help.

Lily: Oh, my god. He is so cute. He’s getting so big.

Devon: I know.

Lily: You have a little man. Like a little man.

Devon: That’s my man.

Lily: Aw. I love that he fell asleep with his little race car in his hand. That’s so cute.

Abby: The red one is his favorite. Like, he puts it under his pillow at night so they can sleep together.

Lily: Oh, my god. It’s like it’s cuteness overload. I don’t know how you guys do it.

Devon: Well, he is lucky to have his aunt lily to dote over him constantly.

Lily: Yeah. That’s my job. I take it very seriously.

[ Lily laughing ] Oh, by the way, I talked to jill.

Devon: Oh, yeah? Didn’t she head out this morning?

Lily: Yeah. She’s going to detroit to look into lbb and aunt mamie.

Devon: Oh, boy.

Lily: Mm-hmm. She’s convinced that there’s more to mamie’s investment than what she’s claiming.

Devon: We were just talking about that.

Lily: Yeah. But, um, what do you think? Do you think mamie might have a connection to tucker?

Phyllis: Well, danny, thank you for your support.

Danny: Always.

Phyllis: I’m gonna go. I don’t wanna be late. It’s my first day at omegasphere, so.

Danny: Hey, phyllis, best of luck today. I’m gonna be rooting for you.

Phyllis: Thank you. It means a lot. Talk to you later.

Danny: Knock ’em dead.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Phyllis: [ Sighing ] Can I, uh, have a refill and take it to go?

Tucker: You’ve been a busy woman.

Phyllis: What does that mean?

Tucker: I think you know. Putting your skills to work on a new venture, perhaps helping jack turn the tables on me.

Phyllis: Hm. Why would you say that?

Tucker: You should know by now, phyllis. I have eyes and ears all over this town. At humana, we believe your healthcare should evolve with you, and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you. Humana can help. Hi, my name is sam davis and I’m going to tell you about medicare advantage prescription drug plans that can provide more coverage than original medicare, including prescription drug coverage, all wrapped up into one convenient plan. With original medicare you’re covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each. And then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at medicare supplement plans. If a service is covered under original medicare, then a medicare supplement plan pays for some or all of your medicare deductibles and the 20% coinsurance. But they may have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Humana medicare advantage prescription drug plans include medical coverage, plus prescription drug coverage. As well as dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus a yearly exam. Vision coverage includes vision exams and a yearly allowance toward eyewear such as lenses or contacts. And hearing benefits include routine hearing exams and coverage toward hearing aids. You’re covered for preventive services like annual mammograms and prostate exams. There’s a zero-dollar copay for routine vaccines and telehealth visits. And you get worldwide coverage for emergencies when you travel. You get all of this in one convenient plan. Plus, there’s a cap on your out-of-pocket costs! So, call or go online today to see if there’s a humana plan in your area, to find out if your doctor is in one of our networks, and to get our free decision guide. There’s no obligation, just good information. Humana – a more human way to healthcare.

When the murrays discovered

gain scent beads,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. E, mom, you don’t have

Kyle: I have told you before, mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I am fine.

Diane: Kyle, you’re my son and I love you and you just haven’t seemed like yourself lately, so yes, I am worried about you.

Kyle: You shouldn’t be ’cause I’m okay. Moving on.

Diane: I saw a glimpse of the kyle I know at the reception yesterday when you so beautifully officiated for your father and me as we renewed our vows.

Kyle: I was glad I could be there this time to see you both looking so happy.

Diane: You were the old kyle. You were confident, you were centered and you and summer seem to be getting along. And it looks like the two of you have found a balance.

Kyle: Yeah, we have. Things between us have leveled off.

Diane: Mm-hmm. And then audra showed up and I could literally see the change in your demeanor. It’s like you became a different person.

Kyle: Yes, mom. I know how you feel about audra.

Diane: Look, I can’t tell you what to do, but I can only hope that the friend you referred to, the one whose place you stayed at last night wasn’t her.

Kyle: You don’t need to be concerned about that. And I’m not struggling to find a new path. I am very clear about that now. I know what I want.

Diane: What is that?

Kyle: I want my old job back as co-ceo of jabot. I’m going to replace billy and I’m convinced that will happen.

Devon: I actually witnessed a moment between tucker and aunt mamie at jack and diane’s wedding reception.

Lily: What do you mean “a moment?”

Devon: She walked in the room and they looked at each other like they had been in communication or in contact before. I don’t know how else to describe it.

Lily: Well, did you ask them about it?

Devon: I didn’t bring it up to mamie, but I asked tucker about it and he said that there’s nothing to it.

Lily: But you don’t believe that’s true?

Devon: Not really. Not when he’s tied to so much drama these days. He’s got what happened with your mom in paris. Jack and billy think that he’s going after jabot. And now he might be tied to this chancellor-winters investor.

Abby: And I tend to believe my family’s assessment of tucker. That he’s bad news. I know it’s just a hypothetical and we don’t have all the facts.

Devon: And since he’s come to town, he’s claimed to wanna do right by me as a father and be a grandfather to dominic.

Abby: And he has been, for the most part.

Lily: Yeah. But there’s always the possibility that he’s doing something underhanded.

Devon: Yeah. And that’s the problem. He’s like a damn magnet to trouble. And it’s just been one thing after another since he’s come back to town.

Abby: He just doesn’t know when to stop.

Devon: Well, maybe I need to know when to stop and sever ties with him. Just make a clean break all together.

Phyllis: Hi, jack. Have a great day, jack.

Tucker: Hey, jack. Did you and diane get a chance to open my present?

Jack: We did.

Tucker: I hope you liked it.

Jack: A bonsai tree would be a thoughtful gesture if it were sincere.

Tucker: Do you know the significance of a bonsai tree?

Jack: As a matter of fact, I do. Just having a hard time with trusting that you’re wishing us harmony and balance and…

Tucker: Patience.

Jack: Patience.

Tucker: Well, at least you read the card. A lot of people chuck the card and just go straight for the goods.

Jack: As I said to my brother, billy, I think this gesture was all smoke and mirrors. Did you really think diane and I were that gullible?

Tucker: So much for second chances.

Jack: Oh, I think you’ve had enough second and third chances for a lifetime. We don’t for one minute buy your truce.

Tucker: I– I guess I just don’t understand why. At this point, you have no reason to doubt me.

Jack: Let’s just stop being coy. We know what you put phyllis up to.

Tucker: Phyllis? Why would I involve myself with phyllis?

Jack: For her technical savvy. You had her hack into one of jabot’s accounts, transfer the funds to billy’s account, his personal account, so it looked like he was the one responsible for the breach.

Tucker: Sounds fascinating and elaborate.

Jack: I just want you to know it didn’t work. We are onto you. That money has now been returned to jabot.

Tucker: That’s good news, but it had nothing to do with me or any plan I had.

Jack: The next time you think of doing something against jabot, I suggest you think twice.

Tucker: You’re not gonna order any coffee?

Jack: Seeing you soured me on the idea.

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry?

Phyllis: Hey. So, were you followed?

Jack: No. I thought tucker would do just that, so I took him on a wild goose chase. I lost him.

Phyllis: Great. Great.

Jack: What is this about?

Phyllis: Um… I hacked into tucker’s computer like you wanted me to.

Jack: And?

Phyllis: And I found out that he recently purchased a listening device with an accompanying phone app. So, um, it’s very interesting, uh, when I saw him at the coffee house, he said he had eyes and ears all over genoa city.

Jack: It’s all starting to make sense. Thank you. I appreciate the help.

Phyllis: Oh, that was a honest thank you. Did that hurt?

Jack: Not as much as I thought.

Phyllis: So, we’re square?

Jack: No, we’re on our way.

Phyllis: Well, what’s left?

Jack: Well, it might help if you admit that you did in fact help tucker hack into jabot.

Phyllis: I did not do that.

Jack: You can just say it, phyllis.

Phyllis: I had nothing to do with that.

Jack: It’s me. I still know when you are lying. You know that, right?

Phyllis: You asked me to do you a favor. You said that it would help me redeem myself.

Jack: Yeah.

Phyllis: But– but I did what you asked. Are you going back on your word?

Jack: No. This is just one step. You and I are not on solid ground.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, I think we’ll get there. You know better than to underestimate me.

Jack: Thank you again.

Phyllis: Hey, what are you doing here?

Danny: So, uh, what are you up to, phyllis?

Lily: Devon, are you serious?

Abby: You really wanna give up on your father?

Devon: No, I don’T. But, what am I supposed to do at this point? I can’t keep ignoring what’s right in front of me.

Abby: That’s a big step and not an easy one.

Lily: Well, I know that you were hoping tucker wouldn’t let you down.

Devon: Honestly, I don’t think I ever really had high expectations for our relationship, given our history.

Lily: Well, now he’s part of your life again and dominic’S.

Devon: Oh, tell me about it. He’s a damn regular at dominic’s music classes.

Abby: He’s even made friends with all the other parents in the class. He’s taken so many videos of dominic playing the drums.

Devon: And it seems like he’s really loves embracing that role and like he’s trying to turn his life around.

Lily: So, what do you think changed?

Devon: I really believe that whatever happened with your mom in paris did something to him or undid all the progress he’s been making. I think that he really loved ashley and when that fell apart–

Abby: So did he.

Devon: As much as I don’t wanna think that he’s going backwards in life, the signs are everywhere. And maybe it’s on me now to change the way I respond to him.

Abby: We’ll support you no matter what you decide.

Lily: Yeah, absolutely. We have your back.

Devon: Well, thank you. I appreciate you saying that. But I just– I can’t shake the feeling that he is up to something. And I’m not gonna let our family or our company be affected by whatever it is. I will not let that happen.

Diane: Do you mean that? You wanna come back to jabot?

Kyle: I do. I think it’s the right move. I just have to figure out how to make it happen. Dad, hey.

Diane: How was the meeting?

Kyle: What’s going on?

Diane: Jack?

Danny: I thought you were headed to the office.

Phyllis: Oh, I was. I decided to make a stop.

Danny: I keep seeing you and jack together and lots of tension. Um, why is that?

Phyllis: Yeah, there’s tension. Well, he can’t seem to forgive me for what I did. And, um, it’s just uncomfortable.

Danny: And that’s all that it is?

Phyllis: Yep, that’s all. What else would it be?

Danny: I– I don’t know.

Phyllis: Okay. Why are you asking? Why do you care? It seems like you followed me here.

Danny: I saw your exchange with jack and tucker at crimson lights and it seemed a little, I don’t know, weird. A little suspicious maybe?

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] Yeah. Tucker’s weird. He can’t even order a cup of coffee in a normal way. I mean, it’s like he’s part of some battle plan.

Danny: I know there’s a lot of animosity between tucker and jack and I just hope that, you know, somehow you’re not caught in the middle of it.

Phyllis: Thank you. I’m not caught in the middle. You sound paranoid.

Daniel: Paranoid about what?

Danny: Hey.

Audra: Hm. Well, good morning to you.

Tucker: Speak for yourself.

Audra: What’s wrong?

Tucker: It’s jack. Trying to get phyllis to play double agent.

Audra: Against you?

Tucker: No. I can’t figure out if she’s onto anything yet.

Audra: Well, you know, phyllis is unpredictable. Hard to read.

Tucker: Mm. I just don’t– I don’t see jack teaming up with her though. Why would he even trust her at this point?

Audra: Well, they have a very public, extremely volatile history that can really blur the line between allies and enemies.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly.

Audra: You know, phyllis is desperate for forgiveness, so maybe she’s willing to work overtime in order to get it.

Tucker: Yeah. Jack already figured out that she helped me break into jabot’s financials though, so I don’t know why he would give her the benefit of the doubt.

Audra: Well, that’s his problem.

Tucker: Could be mine too. I gotta stay ahead of this.

Audra: And you will, okay? Because you won’t let us down. You told me to have faith in you, remember?

Tucker: Mm-hmm. What about you? How are things on your end? Were you able to reignite the flame with kyle?

Audra: Yeah, it was pretty easy and most enjoyable.

Tucker: You’re glowing. You have nice little chipper attitude.

Audra: I haven’t even told you the best part. Kyle is after billy’s job.

Tucker: You don’t say? Hm. I seem to recall that kyle had the co-ceo position before. Makes sense to me that he’d want it back.

Audra: You don’t seem surprised.

Tucker: I’m not.

Audra: So, that’s what this was about. You want billy out of the picture at jabot and kyle is the way to do it.

Diane: So, what’s going on?

Jack: I had my meeting with phyllis. She hacked into tucker’s computer and discovered he recently purchased a listening device and the app to go with it.

Diane: The bonsai tree.

Jack: Tucker’s little gift of harmony had his hidden surprise.

Kyle: Ah, that son of a bitch!

Diane: Peace, love, and forgiveness my ass. And I– I was hoping we wouldn’t have to worry, I’m sorry.

Jack: No, you have nothing to apologize for. You have a generous spirit. I’m a little more jaded.

Diane: And phyllis discovered this and just gave you the information no strings attached?

Jack: Yes, phyllis gave it to me, but phyllis was phyllis. I tried to get her to admit she helped tucker to frame billy and she wouldn’t have any of that.

Diane: Of course not.

Kyle: This is a bold move on tucker’s part.

Jack: That is tucker to his core.

Kyle: So, why not just destroy it?

Jack: I thought about that. I changed my mind.

Diane: Why?

Jack: This could be useful. If tucker isn’t on to us, we can use this to our advantage.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

best advice I can give you is to give the nurse on duty a heads up when you refer a patient to another doctor, especially if you want to stay on their good side.

[ Chuckles ] Got it. I definitely want to stay on the good side of all the nurses. And I want to thank you for all the help and support you’ve given me the last week. You’re so welcome. You’re gonna be a great addition to the staff here. I have to say, I’m a little overwhelmed. There’s always so much going on. Always will be. How are you? How’s your day? Uh, busier than ever. Yours? Actually, I just… I just got here, but I got to run out again. I got to go check on chase. How’s he doing? Yeah, he’s not answering any of my calls or my texts, so I’m just going to bite the bullet and go on over to his place. I’ll let you know after I see him. Good luck. Thanks. Would you like to have dinner with me tonight? Yeah. I would love that. Yeah? Why don’t you and violet come over, and we’ll throw something together? Yeah, I like that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And that — that way, we can spend some time with aiden. I know he would love to see violet. He’s been home alone a lot lately since jake has been spending so much time with charlotte. Yeah. No, violet would love to see aiden, too. Yeah, it’ll be fun. Yeah. Yeah, it’ll be fun.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. Probably not as much fun as what happened last night in the locker room. I’ll see you tonight. I’ll see you tonight. Oh, hey. Hi. Any luck? With? Finding a co-chief of staff? Oh, not yet. I’m too busy trying to find out who was in the staff locker room having sex in the showers. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be home. I was relieved the moment we landed.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, I know. Yeah, it’ll be nice to decompress for a little while after being on the road for so long looking for nikolas. You know something? Hmm? I think I have a bottle of red wine in the kitchen. We can open it up. Oh, i do like red wine.

[ Laughs ] Alright. I’ll take your suitcases inside for you. No, it’s okay. I-I can take it from here. Thank you, spencer. I had an amazing weekend. Yeah, me too. But now you need to go home because I know you’re missing ace. I am. But as much as I want to see my baby brother, I’m just as sad to see our weekend in new york end. It was perfect, by the way. Every second.

Every second? Every…single… second. It was perfect. Dad. I — I love you, son, so much.

[ Sniffles, sighs ]

[ Door slams ] Where is she? Monica is in her office. She’s on video call. I’m not looking for monica. Where is my granny? Tracy, where are you?! Where are you hiding?! I’m not hiding. I’m right here. Why are you shrieking?

[ Guitar strumming, cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ] I’m so sorry.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m sorry. I didn’t — I didn’t mean to wake you up.

[ Exhales sharply ] You were in my dream.


Ace, sweetheart, where is your mommy? Oh. Laura, kevin, thank god you’re both home!

[ Muttering ] Esme, is everything okay? Ace is teething, and I’ve been with him 24/7. I think I’ve only slept like six hours in the last couple of days. And I had to call alexis this morning to tell her that I wasn’t gonna be able to make it to work, but that I felt bad that I wasn’t going to work.

[ Inhales sharply ] But I’m exhausted. I know, hon. Okay. We’re home now. We can help. I didn’t realize how lonely it would be watching him just… by myself. Where’s spencer? I’m sorry, I… no. No, it’s okay. I want you to go home. I mean, I —

[ Sighs ] I want you to go see ace. I’ll text you or call or… I’ll see you tomorrow, no matter what. You promise? Yeah. Yeah, I promise. Okay, bye. You better. Hey, you’re back. Come on in, have a seat, and tell me all about it. How was it? Oh… it was okay. Just okay? No. It was amazing!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Breathes deeply ] I was wrong, son, and I’m so sorry. I should have told you about my diagnosis. I meant to, but I — I just… kept putting it off. Why? Was it because you… thought I couldn’t handle it? No! No. Because I… didn’t think

i could handle it. All your life, son, you’ve been such a joy and a blessing. Your — your enthusiasm was contagious. Your openness, your optimism. Ever since you were a little boy, if — if I was having a bad day or struggling with something, I’d just… spend time with you, and it would change everything, change my perspective. So I-I’ve just been… selfish, just storing up moments with you where… things felt normal, where… I didn’t have als and I wasn’T…dying.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Voice breaking ] But it wasn’t fair to you, and I’m so sorry.

[ Voice breaking ] It’s okay, dad. If spending time with me, if — if that brought you joy… …that’s all that matters.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sniffles ] Who told you someone was having sex in the showers? Amy driscoll. Consider the source, right? Ms. Gh gossip. She does like to make assumptions. Who knows? Maybe it’s not even true. Well, it is. Why do you say that? Because it was me. And just so you know, it was only kissing. With finn? Elizabeth! Well done. Whoa. That was tough. It truly was. Helping families who are losing a loved one figure out the next steps, that’s an important but necessary part of this job. You knew exactly what to say to them, with dignity and heart. The dignity and heart were real, but the rest was instinct and experience. You want to switch it up a bit? Yeah, I’d love to. What do you have in mind? Pediatrics. Oh, I love babies! The best part of this job. Let’s go. Okay.

[ Laughs ] I was in your dream? Yes. And I was naked. On stage. I was naked on stage. It’s crazy. I-I-I was at a gig in my dream, and you were in the crowd. And there was another woman with you. Well, who was it? I don’t know. But it’s really, really frustrating. What is? This dream! Because I’ve had it a couple times. Maybe you should talk to someone about it. I thought I was. How could you? How could I what? Do what you did. What is it you think I did? Think? I know you did. Are you talking in code, or did you hit your head like your father? You can’t bluff your way out of this one, granny. You know exactly what you did!

[ Clears throat ] I, uh, don’t think she does. Can you give us a minute, yuri? Please? This is something that granny and I need to settle privately.

Da. Okay. So would you like to tell me, in plain english, not yelling, what exactly is it you think I did? How could you tell chase that his father has als? That was an honest mistake. Those don’t exist with you. I was at the hospital. I ran into chase. His eyes were red. He was crying. I assumed it was about his father. And when I realized my mistake, I tried to backpedal, but… chase wouldn’t let it go. So you took it upon yourself and you told him? He pressured me! Would you have preferred I lied? Oh, so now you’re taking a stand for honesty?! You are unbelievable, granny. No. I’m just explaining to you what happened.

[ Knocking on door ] Do you want to get that, or do you want to stand there and stare at me?

[ Sighs ] What?! Whoa! Is that any way to greet your mother?

[ Exhales sharply ]


You are talking to someone. And I am more than happy to listen. But I was talking about… more like a — a professional. You know? A psychic?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. No, I don’t believe in them. Yeah, it’s all just a scam. Oh, no, um, you’d be surprised. But — but — but I wasn’t talking about a psychic. I-I meant like a — like a doctor. Like kevin collins. You know, h-he’s really good with — with dreams and repressed memories. Maybe — maybe this is your subconscious trying to tell you something? No. Thank you. I remember kevin from when I first woke up at the hospital. He’s a nice enough guy, but, you know, he really wasn’t a help then, and I seriously doubt that he can help me now. Okay. Okay. Well, if you’re really serious about getting to the bottom of this… you’ll bite the bullet and you’ll talk to kevin. Ma! It’s so good to see you! Oh, it’s so good to see you, too. How’s my baby? I’m good. I’m surprised to see you.

[ Chuckling ] Ah, yeah, well…

[ Clears throat ] Let me see your hair. Oh! Oh, it’s beautiful. Oh, thank you. Let me see your nails. Oh! Oh, they never cease to impress me. Thank you. Look who’s back!

[ Breathes sharply ]

[ Clears throat ] Hello, tracy. Hello, lois. Hmm. It’s been a minute.

[ Chuckles ] Are those laugh lines or just lines? You’re looking great, too, tracy. Thank you. Mm-hmm. So, to what do we owe this hopefully brief visit? Yeah, ma, what’s going on? Is everything okay at home? Yes, everything is fine in bensonhurst. I — look, I read an article about you being dumped by deception, and I thought, “how dare they? Don’t they know what an asset my brookie is?” Ma, I deserved it. Okay. I don’t know what’s gotten into your head, but my daughter doesn’t deserve to be dumped. I was manipulated into sharing privileged information. Corporate espionage. What?! Manipulated by who? Who would do that to you? Uh-huh.

[ Scoffs ] A newborn’s health is influenced by the access they have to quality healthcare. I’m so sorry to interrupt.

[ Chuckles ] May I steal you for just one moment? Oh. Go ahead, stella. It’ll give me time to study my notes. Okay. Okay. Is everything alright, portia? Dr. Randolph offered me the co-chief of staff position.

[ Gasps ] Congratulations!

[ Laughs ] Did you accept? Not yet. Why not? Well, because. It’s gonna be a lot more work, more e-mails, more phone calls, emergencies. So turn it down. I did. But now I think I might want it. I mean, it’s a senior management position. It’s going to be a little bit more money. And with everything going on with curtis, it would be helpful. Well, take it! Yeah, but what about curtis? What about him? Our trip to new york was amazing. Spencer thought of everything. We saw “moulin rouge!” Whoa. Broadway. Yeah. And then we had dinner at a rooftop restaurant. It was overlooking the city. We could see the empire state building from our table. Wow. Well, it sounds like you had a good time. We did. And spencer organized a tour of the met, and then we did fun little touristy things. Like, we walked around the city, we got a few gourmet coffees, and then we went shopping. Ooh! Which reminds me. I got you something. Trina, you didn’t have to do that. I wanted to. These are for you. I hope you like them. I do. I love them. I got you both because I didn’t know which team you prefer, but i did know that you like basketball. Oh. Yeah. I still love the game, even though I can’t play.

[ Laughs ] I’m gonna go ahead and change ace’s sheets again. Since he started teething, he is drooling like crazy. Yeah, well, you go right ahead. I’m just enjoying my time with my grandson. He’s gotten so much bigger since the last time I saw him. I feel like I’ve done 10 loads of laundry since spencer went away with trina, so… there’s my boy. Look. It’s kevin. Well… so much for decompressing over a nice bottle of wine.

[ Laughs ] I’m still happy to be home. Me, too. I’m gonna take the rest of these upstairs, since…you seem to have your hands full.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. Mm-hmm. Oh, sweetheart. Did you miss grandma? I’ll tell you something. Grandma missed you an awful lot. Mm. Now, tell me — where is your big brother, spencer? Hmm?

[ Gasps ] Look who it is! Two of my three favorite people in the world.


you don’t have to apologize. I understand why you didn’t tell me. Dad… explained everything. How are you doing? At the moment… all I can be is thankful that I have… two such wonderful sons. Hey! How’s it going? Did you miss me? ‘Cause I missed you. Aww. And I’m back, and we could play all day now.

[ Laughs ] Oh, dear. I missed you too, grandmother. It’s really good to see you. I’m glad that you’re home. I missed you, too, and I’m very glad to be home. And, hey, I got you a present. Look at that! Oh, my goodness.

[ Gasps ] This is for you! Hmm? Your brother got you a stuffed toy. Yeah. Yeah. You’re back. If I didn’t steal the deceptor files for granny and commit corporate espionage, she said she’d go to chase. Blackmailing her own granddaughter — thank you, no — by threatening to make trouble with her boyfriend? I don’t think tracy has ever stooped so low. I should have just been honest with chase from the beginning, ma. Then she wouldn’t have had anything to blackmail me with. But instead, I let her manipulate me, and I let down my friends and my colleagues. And they’re furious, and rightfully so. I deserved to get fired. This is on tracy, not on you, brook lynn. I just feel so terrible about what I did. Oh, honey. But you know what? Maybe it’s all for the best. At least, the getting fired part. Why would you say that? Because I’m going back into music, and it feels right. Well, of course it feels right. Because it is! Because it runs in the family.

[ Gasps ]

[ Both screaming, laughing ]


[ Screaming, laughter in distance ] Did you hear that? Of course I heard it. People in new delhi heard it. What’s going on? It’s a bensonhurst invasion. Oh, my god! Look at you! You look so good! Me? Look at you! You’re gorgeous! Oh, god. I wish. H-how long do we get to keep you for? I have absolutely no plans. I saw that my — my little girl was in need, so I wanted to be here for her. Well, I’m glad that you are. Mm. I will always be. Well, honey, honey, where are you staying? I hope you’re going to stay here in the house with me. Huh? I would invite you to stay with me and chase, but the apartment is very small. Okay, so not a problem. And, no, vivi. No. I was thinking of staying at the metro court. Okay, lolo, I will comp you a room. Well, of course you will, and I expect an exceptional room. And you will get one! We got brand-new suites with beautiful views of the waterfront. Just remember, detective chase is only a phone call away. That won’t be necessary. Just as always, you win. When do you want me to start working back at deception? No, ma, you know what? Olivia is right. You should stay here at the house. I think tracy would love having you here. To be honest, we really haven’t had time to discuss it. What’s there to discuss? I’d say it’s about time.

[ Chuckles ] Time for what? Love. [ Chuckles ] Ah. I love love. Right?

[ Laughs ] Well, hi, everybody. Wow. I didn’t realize I was interrupting a party.

[ Chuckles ] Terry, um… do you have a second? I’d like to speak to you about… something pretty important. Dad, finn said that you were diagnosed months ago. But, I mean, right now you… you seem fine. Well, luckily, right now, at this stage of the disease, I still have good days. But my symptoms are… increasing. My hands cramp up more and more when I’m doing simple things like signing my name or typing on the computer. And my balance isn’t so good anymore. I’ve fallen a few times. Dad… but fortunately, today is one of the good days. Why didn’t I see it? I — I should have. I went to great lengths to hide it from you. I didn’t see it either, bro. There was a couple of incidents, but I didn’t put it together. And like you, I should have. No, no, no. This can’t be about you guys blaming each other for what you did or didn’t see. I didn’t want either of you to see anything until I was ready. But now I’m — I’m glad that it’s finally out in the open and I’m able to be honest with both of you — and myself. Okay. How can we help? My weekend in the city with trina was great. Oh. Yeah. Fine dining, um, a few art museums. We caught a show. Nice. Uh, we’re glad you two could find some time away. Me too. Seemed like you had your hands full while I was away. Ace and i were just fine. We had some nice mother-son bonding time. And those are the times that you’ll never forget. Honey, ace seems a little tired to me. I know. It’s — it’s time for his nap. Here. I’m happy to put him down. We could put him to bed together. Sure. We can… put him down together. And maybe you could even sing that stupid song you sing to him that you made up. Oh, the…

ace, base, he’s got the cutest face …song? Yes, that one. That one. Bye-bye, sweetie. Bye! Wave! Sleep tight!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Whispering ] I am so relieved. You mean those two? Yes! Look how well they’re getting along together. I was concerned for ace’s sake. Yes, but… unlike spencer, who has a life outside of ace, esme seems…isolated. And all she has is her work at the invader. She doesn’t really seem to have a group of friends.


That’s enough information for the day. You’re a quick study. Well, you’re a great mentor. Well, I have some paperwork to catch up on. When are you starting here at gh? Next week. I hope I’ll be ready. Oh, you’ll be great! You’re a natural. And I’ll be around whenever you need me. Okay? Thank you, stella. I appreciate it. Spencer was a true gentleman. You have nothing to worry about. Are you sure? I’d hate to have to go full “granddad.” Spencer treated me very well. We had a great trip. She, uh, she gave me the highlights. Whoa! And did you approve? I approve. Yeah. That’s new, isn’t it? Yeah, uh, spencer gave it to me so that I always have something to remember our trip together. And always remember spencer by, no doubt. Well, spencer is pretty unforgettable, so… and what do we have here? These, pop, are a present from trina. And I’m willing to share if you pick the right one. I want the knicks hat. It’s yours. Good choice. Well, I have a paper due for school, so I have to head back to the dorms, okay? Okay. I’ll see you later. Bye-bye. Bye. Thank you for the hat. You don’t really think that cassadine boy is good enough for her, do you? I don’t think I can tell my daughter what to do or who to be with.

[ Clears throat ] What time are you off work? I’m not sure yet. Text me what you like for dinner. I will. Maybe italian? Or russian? Okay. I have patients to see.

[ Chuckles ] What makes sure you, uh,

shower them with kindness. So, portia, what can I do for you?

[ Door closes ] I know that I initially turned down your job offer… but I’ve had a change of heart, and I really want it. I believe that I can do a great job, for you and for gh… so I am officially accepting your job offer to be co-chief of staff. I’m not so sure about staying here at the qs’…

with tracy, you know? I think the room you described at the metro court sounds perfect for me, and I’m going to stay there. Yeah. Actually, you know what? I think that what brook lynn said was right. If — if you stay here and we’re under the same roof, we can really have a proper visit, honey. You know, we could braid each other’s hair and watch crummy movies and eat junk food just like old times. Vivi, no. I don’t think so. Mnh-mnh. Lolo, if I’m at the metro court, it’s going to be all about work drama. I’m not really going to get a chance to see you. Fine. Fine!

[ Clears throat ] Hey, speaking of drama… yeah? …Does ned still think he’s actually eddie maine? What do you mean a bensonhurst invasion? Well, olivia was bad enough, and now there’s two of them. So olivia has family visiting? Why don’t you see for yourself? Okay. Ace is asleep. Mm! Yeah, and I only had to hear spencer sing that silly song three times, but it did make ace laugh, so I guess it was worth it. And he’s asleep, so… good. So, uh, grandmother, you still haven’t told us why you guys decided to come back. Did you give up on looking for my father? Actually, no. Your grandmother refused to give up. Didn’t matter how difficult it became, she insisted we keep looking. It wasn’t always easy at times. Search took us to russia, greece. The trail eventually took us to geneva. Uh, where we actually met with your dad’s banker, who said that he had been seen there at the bank taking out some withdrawals. Um… we didn’t actually see your dad, but we know he’s alive.


Elizabeth, how is finn doing? Oh, he’s well. We should all get together again soon. You, finn, me, terry. I like finn. He’s, uh, good people. Yeah, he’s pretty great. We’ll check our schedules and get back to you guys. I better go. Starting new job this week, and, uh, I have to figure out how to tell my old boss I’m leaving. That’s never easy. Good luck. Hey, it’s me. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you, and I hope everything’s going okay with chase. See you later tonight at my place. My specialist was clear. This…

[ Exhales sharply ] …Is a terminal diagnosis. There is no cure for als. But how I handle this disease, how quickly I deteriorate, that’s still to be determined. I’m trying to take this day to day. Are you sure there’s nothing we can do? I wish there was. You know, dad’s got a lot of good days left. And even as the disease progresses, there’s going to be a lot of opportunities to… to be together, to spend time together, to love each other. Well, we will be with you every step of the way. I love you, dad. I love you. I’m a lucky man. Are you sure about taking on the extra responsibility? It’s a lot of work. A lot of hours. I am not afraid of hard work. I’ve worked hard my entire life, and I do not plan on stopping it now. That sounds great. I’ll let dr. Quartermaine know. You might even start on monday… what? …Partner. Yeah.

[ Laughter ] You know, pop, I told trina when she gave me this hat… even though I can’t play, god, I still love the game. Any progress in finding out who shot you, son? It’s been a while. Have the cops found anything? No. Haven’t heard anything yet. You know… the whole time I was a cop, my biggest fear was getting injured in the line of duty.

[ Scoffs ] So when it finally happened, I’m a civilian. Do you know where nikolas is now? No, I don’T. I mean, knowing nikolas, he — he could really be anywhere.

[ Ace crying over baby monitor ] Perfect timing. I think I need a little bit of a break from talking about my dad, so I’m gonna go check on ace. Uh, no, no, no. Why don’t you stay and catch up with your grandmother? I’ll go check on ace. Actually, I agree with esme. I need to make some calls and catch up on my patients. So it’s what we thought all along? My father left us… and he doesn’t want to come back? I really believe that your father is gonna realize the mistake that he’s making and that he will come back to us. I really hope for everyone involved that he just stays away. Spencer, you know you don’t mean that. But I’m really, really glad that you’re home. Aww. And I missed you. I missed you, too. I missed you a lot. It’s gonna be okay. Okay. I’m gonna go check on ace.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Right, well, um, still, I’m, I’m, I’m glad to see you and I know the move can be hard, you know, leaving your friends behind. Yeah. Yeah, but I did just, I did just meet this really cool girl in the park, so. Oh, wow. That was fast. Yeah. Yeah, but I thought… What? Never mind, never mind. I just feel really stupid, but you don’t, you don’t need to hear it.

Oh, come on, Tate. Why did you feel stupid? Because, um, I kind of thought she was into me, but she shut me down pretty quick. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I mean, turns out she’s into someone else, so… Hey, Mom. Tarlas, don’t be discouraged because I’m sure you will meet plenty of potential girlfriends here. Yeah, yeah, it’s just, it’s just a little weird being the new guy in town, you know.

But, this girl Holly did give me her number, so… I’m sorry, did you say Holly? What are you

watching tonight? Uh, tonight, we’re watching… Welcome to your childhood. I have been working on a secret blend of salt and… Chanel, uh, look who’s joining us. You remember Holly, right? Yeah, are you guys back together? We are. That’s wonderful! I’m happy for you. Really happy. But also kind of surprised. I mean, you guys got a divorce, right?

I figured your relationship was totally over. Uh, yes, it was. But, um, Chanel decided to give me another shot. Hmm. But aren’t you into girls now? Oh, uh, girls, boys, I’m into both. Well, that’s a bummer. Excuse me? Oh, no, no, sorry, I meant, um, It’s a bummer for the dating pool in Salem, because you’re such a catch, right?

You know, Holly is right. By the way, you are a total catch. And look who caught you. Again. Look at me.

Um, Dr. Evans. What are you doing here? I came to thank you personally. Susan filled me in on what happened. How you and Ava had realized that she was alive, and how you rescued her from Crumb. She thinks you’re a real hero. Okay, uh, I’m not sure the Salem PD would agree with her, but thank you. You’re welcome.

And if I can vouch for you in any way, at all, please call on me. I appreciate that. But right now I’m more concerned about Ava. I think there’s a good chance she could be sent to prison.

Hello, Ava. How you doing? What did the doctor say? You okay? Oh, yeah, I’m just fine. Good. I’m glad to hear it. As am I. Because now Mother can finally press charges against you for attempted murder.

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

What was this girl Holly’s last name? It wasn’t Jonas, was it? I don’t know. She never said. Well, what does she look like? She’s, uh, she’s hot. Very helpful tape. Sorry. Yeah. It’s okay. Oh, I know. Got my phone here.

Is this her? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that’s Holly. Why do you have a photo of her? Because she’s my daughter.

So, are we good to go here, G? Yes, uh, movie’s all set, so. Mom, I better get out of your hair. What? No, stay. Watch the movie with us. Are you sure? I don’t want to crash your date night. Hey, the more the merrier. And there’s plenty of popcorn. Yeah. Okay. Just, uh, you know, slide over, make some room for Chanel. No problem.

Okay. Thanks, Holly.

This is gonna be fun. Thanks for including me, guys.

Eva was already in a lot of trouble before the two of you went down the lab and you, you put a lot on the line for her. I, I mean, what else was I going to do? Somebody tried to kill her at Bayview. I had to step in. You did more than step in. You escaped from Bayview. You helped her evade the police. And then you helped create an international rescue mission.

I would say you’ve done quite a bit for her. Yeah, I… Like, one thing did lead to another. But Ava was worried that, you know, nobody would believe her side of the story. She knew that E. J. DiMera sent that hitwoman, and the only way to stop him from going after her again was to prove that Susan was alive. So you forged two passports, and you fled the country, and then you went about going on the run, avoiding the police, at your own risk.

I feel like there’s a question in here somewhere. There is. I’m curious. Why you did all that for Ava?

Press charges? I am the reason your mother is standing right here. You’re also the reason she went missing for a year. And you know damn well I wasn’t in my right mind when I did that. Unlike you. You, who knew exactly what you were doing when you sent that hit woman to bathe you to assassinate me. I didn’t know such a thing.

Oh, you lie. You’re such a liar. Prove it. Prove it? Yes. Hey, hey, hey. What’s going on here? Commissioner Hernandez, my mother is ready to make a statement about how Ava tried to kill her. Uh, uh, uh, actually, mm mm, I’m not, I’m not, yeah, I will not press charges against Miss Ava Daly. Would

you like a lollipop?

Uh, that thing I said about that girl, Holly, uh, being hot. I meant that in like a totally respectful way. It’s okay, Romeo. I get it. Dad mentioned that you had a daughter with Daniel. I guess I just, I forgot her name. In my head, she’s still like a little kid or something. Tell me about it. But to my dismay, she is all grown up.

Feels like it happened overnight. Yeah, what a crazy coincidence. I mean, what are the odds? Welcome to Salem. Hey, but since it happened, do you think you could put in a good word for me? Never mind, I mean, what’s the point, right, if she’s in love with this other guy? Um, I’m sorry, wait. Uh, first you said she was into someone else.

Now you’re saying she’s in love? Yeah, that’s what she said. What, did you not know? No. She hasn’t mentioned anything. I wonder who she’s talking about.

Okay, mid movie review, what do we think so far? Oh my god, I’ve heard of Clueless, of course, but I’ve never seen it before. And when you said it was almost 30 years old, I thought it might be in like, black and white or something. Oh my god, Johnny, we are old. Um, wow, okay, well it’s not like we even grew up on that movie anyway, but actually, Holly, Color was introduced to film in its infancy, like a hundred years ago in the uh, silent era.

See, they actually used to Oh, okay, okay, Mr. Movie Buff. We’re here to have fun tonight, remember? Not help write a film studies dissertation. No, that’s really interesting, Johnny. And so far, I’m loving it. Alicia Silverstone and Paul Brett, they make such an amazing couple. Don’t you think? Uh, even though it’s It’s a little creepy that their characters are practically related.

Oh, come on. They’re not related. Not really. They’re step siblings. They didn’t even grow up together. Exactly. And there’s nothing wrong with that because they’re perfect for each other. Okay, okay. I stand corrected. Although, I’ve always kind of had my eye on Jeremy’s sisto. Sisto? You trying to make me jealous right now?

Maybe. Oh, whoa. Oh, my God. Are you all right? Yeah, no, just the, uh, wow. Chanel, that, uh, the popcorn is pretty heavy on the spice. Yeah, I’m sorry, that’s my fault. I like it salty and spicy. Here, let me get you something to drink. What do you want? Um, I’ll take a sparkling water. Thanks. Oh, can you grab me one too, please?

Sure. Sparkling water is all around.

Hello?

Helping Ava just seemed like the right thing to do. You know, she was scared, she didn’t have anybody on her side, and I was there. It was, uh, as simple as that. It might have been simpler if she told me about Susan after our hypnotherapy session. Yes, I… I think you can understand Ava’s trust issues. Mm hmm.

The person Ava trusts is you. I mean, being locked away together… Can bond people, and to be honest, it’s, uh, pretty lonely at Bayview, and we became friends. Is that all? Uh, why, why are you asking? Well, just, um, for my part, on a personal level, it’s really none of my business. But as your therapist, I think I need to caution you.

That you seem to be in denial. In denial about, about what? About your feelings for Ava.

What are you talking about? Ava drove you off a cliff. She tried to kill you. And that attempted murder is the reason why you were held captive for a year. Oh, sweet, sweet boy. Ava. And her hungry sidekick. They rescued me. Yeah, and Ava has made her a magic. And, sweetheart, I forgive her. Oh. You know, besides, I would rather have Mr.

Commish here. You know, focus on that, that mystery man. The man that shipped me off to Edmund. Oh, yeah, don’t worry. I’m on it, Susie. Alright, that’s it. Let’s go get some grub, hun. Mother, please, is there anything I can do or say that can get you to reconsider? Nope, nothing. Oh, Susan, thank you so much. You, you have no idea what this means to me.

Aw. Aw, lollipop? Yes. Alright, Alice darling, let’s go. Chow down! You’re a woman.

Yeah. So. Mr. Krish. What you waiting for? Yeah. Slow your roll, Vitaly. I’m not out of the woods just yet.

I hope tonight hasn’t been too much of a bust. First getting booted from your mom’s place, and then… Pauly crashing our movie night. It’s never a bust when I’m with you. And I am so loving watching Clueless again. Yeah, yeah, me too. And what a treat! Right, I mean, an actual color film produced in the black and white 90s.

Yeah, you know, I’m kind of glad your mom kicked us out tonight. Me too. Although, I have to say, it has been a lot more lively around here than normal, right? I mean, so many people moving in and out of this mansion in the last year. Oh, including Holly. Right, right. But, uh, she’s cool though, right? Yeah. Yeah, she is.

I mean, pretty low bar, though. All she has to do is not try and kill anyone. Yeah. Yeah, when you put it like that, um, I hope my murderous family is not deterring from the point that I’m actually trying to get at here. Okay, which is? Well, I was just wondering if maybe you’d like to be the next person to move in.

You know, Brave the Demerit Dungeon. Oh, and you put it that way. No, but seriously though, what do you think? Well, gee, I’m, I’m really glad that we’re back together and we’re having fun. But, I, let’s just not get ahead of ourselves, okay? Okay. Fair enough. How about a compromise then? Maybe, after we finish this movie, you and I could slip up to my room and start practicing for when you do move in.

You could be the Cher to my Josh. Unless you’d rather, I don’t know, you know, go track down, uh, what’s his name, Jeremy’s sister or

something. Oh, as if. Special delivery. Oh, hey, Molly. Um, wow, thank you very much. Thanks. Very kind. Sorry, I kind of stole your spot. No problem.

Oh! Whoa! Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Did Holly mention who this person is? This guy she’s in love with? No. Well, maybe she was teasing you. Right? Talking about a celebrity crush. You know, she’s Oh!

Michael B. Jordan, too. Yeah, yeah, she did say that she thinks the guy feels the same way about her, so. Really? Unless Harry and Michael happen to be, uh, sliding into her DMs, uh. I sincerely doubt that.

Oh, shoot, my dad’s freaking out. I gotta go. Do you need a ride? No thanks, I’m good. It was, it was nice seeing you. Good to see you too, Dave. And be safe. Yeah. Oh,

sweetheart, I am so glad I ran into you. I have the most incredible news. Oh, what’s up? I don’t even know where to begin, to be honest. Elvis! Elvis! This, this is what I have missed most. Mmm, good old American cuisine on a stick. Oh my God, Susan, I can’t believe this. You’re alive. Yeah, oh my gosh, and you’re preggish.

You know, we were just with Mr. Commission. He didn’t say anything about finally becoming a daddy. Hmm.

Are you seriously gonna press charges against me for escaping from Bayview and running off to England? No. No, I’ll see the DA’s office. It’s, uh, it’s kind of a mess ever since Trask was fired, so, uh, they’re gonna let that slide since you rescued Susan. Okay, so then what is it? Oh, is it because Harris and I didn’t get EJ’s confession because we tried?

Oh, and believe me, I want that bastard behind bars just as much as you do. Nope. Not that either. What is it? Well, I don’t know if it’s completely slipped your mind, but you weren’t exactly a free woman when you escaped from Bayview. You were there because of a court order. Yes, but I got better. Susan is alive.

Okay, well, maybe you did, but… Where you go next, it’s not up to me. It’s up to your doctors.

Dr. Evans, I really don’t want to talk about this. It…

I understand. And, I wouldn’t ask if I weren’t your therapist. But it’s important for me to know because it affects you. And, it affects your recovery. Okay, um, I’m not gonna deny that I care about Ava. We grew close in Bayview and even closer on the run, but I don’t know, the kind of feelings you’re talking about.

Alright.

So, what’s going on? So, Susan decided not to press charges against Ava. And, um, well, as for the illegal passports and evading the police, DA’s just gonna let it all go. You got lucky. Because although what you did was unlawful, it led to the rescue of Susan, and, uh, well, long story short, you’re off the hook.

No one’s going to prison. So, Ava and I are free to go? No. Not quite. Well, technically, you and I have to complete our court ordered stay at Bayview, but, um… Well, you know some doctors there, don’t you? I do. I can make a call. Oh, Dr. Evans, do you think that I really need to go back? I mean, I feel like I’ve made so much progress, and…

Well, I’m sorry, that isn’t really up to me. Do you think that you could talk to my doctors about it? I’d be glad

to.

Honey, you didn’t tell her? There was a lot going on. Well, don’t tell me what! Nicole is pregnant with my child, not Rafe’s. Oh, oh, okay, hold on. I thought that you were Mrs. Comish. You have missed out on a lot since you’ve been gone. Um, Mother, Nicole and I are back together. In fact, we are, um, Engaged. Oh! Yes!

And this little bundle of joy is your future grandbaby. Are you sure about that? Because I’m not getting any kind of familiar connection. Well then your psychic powers are on the

fritz because that child is definitely mine. You’ve even done a paternity test. What? Are you hollering around on my boy? Mother! No, Susan, and I resent that question very much. Wait, you know, well then why, why would you have to get a test to find out if the baby is yours?

Okay, because, there, and, there were some issues, okay, in Salem about the time I got pregnant, and I was high, and, Well, so was the person I was with because of these tainted biscuits. Tainted biscuits, huh? Yes. Wow, and so who was the other person, ha, on biscuits? How is that important? My God, can’t you just be happy for us?

Be happy for yourself. We’re having a baby and you’re going to have a grandbaby. That is wonderful news, is it not? Okay, yes, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m just so happy for the both of you. You know what? To show you my congratulations to the both of you, I am going to give you my last lollipop.

And look, it’s so pretty. Here you go. You know, children are really a blessing, aren’t they? It’s about time. Okay, calm down. No, seriously, Ted, come on, where have you been? I’ve been texting you for hours. I told you, Dad, I was out. I wanted to get reacquainted with the neighborhood. I gotta say, not much has changed since I was a kid.

Because that was so long ago. Well, I, uh, I went by the park. You know, the one that we used to see the ducks at? Oh, yeah? Wait, you remember that? Yeah, yeah, of course I remember that. Huh. Did you see any ducks when you were there? Well, I, uh, I saw one chick. A, uh, chick? A girl, dad. I saw a girl. Ah. Yeah. And get this, you uh, you know her.

I do. Who is she? Her name’s Holly. She’s uh, she’s Nicole’s daughter. Chanel, oh my god, I’m a napkin. I, I don’t think one napkin is going to cut it. I’m such a klutz. You must hate me. No, no, it’s fine. You’re fine. It’s not like I’m a wicked witch or anything. Oh, wow. Now you’re gonna have to go all the way home to change.

What? No, no, you don’t have to do that. Um, I’m sure I’ve got a, uh, you know, a t shirt or something that fits, and I’m sure there’s a pair of sweatpants up there that’ll sort of fit as well. And I’m pretty sure that I remember where you keep your things. Fantastic. Okay, so, um, I guess I will just go upstairs, do a quick little wardrobe change, and…

I’ll come back. Sounds good. Um, yeah. T shirts. Top drawer of the bureau. Next to the window. Sweatpants are on the bottom. Right. Again. I’m so sorry. Hey, it is okay. I you dare start that movie again without me. Of course not. I totally ruined everything, didn’t I? You should have kicked me out on movie night when you had the chance.

Oh, no, it’s fine. It’s fine. Don’t worry about it. It was an accident. An A. I was just telling Chanel I think you’re really cool. You are? Yeah. Yeah, this, uh, this whole nut house has been a lot more bearable since you and your mom moved in. Johnny, can I tell you a secret? Yeah, sure. What is it?

So I’m guessing there wasn’t anything on that tape that you could use against EJ? No. No, unfortunately not. But thanks for trying. Yeah, I know it’s kind of weird. I don’t know if he caught on or not, but he just left. But I’m just hoping that he doesn’t come after Ava again. Yeah, EJ isn’t really known for forgiving and forgetting.

No, no, he’s not. Dr. Evans, um, what did my doctors say? They agree that you’re making amazing progress. And, before your escape, they were actually considering releasing you. And now? Now they believe that you’ve learned right from wrong. And the woman that drove Susan off that cliff is not the same woman who risked her life to save her.

They think you are no longer a risk to society. So I’m free? You are free Oh my god, I’m

free.

Well, I’ve been debating whether or not I should keep this to myself, but maybe now’s the time to speak up. Eh? Oh my god, I’m crazy. No, no, I’m not. Look, I promise, no judgment here. Okay, well, I’ve been thinking a lot about… Grandma? Grandma? Grandma! Oh my god! So happy to see you! Look at you!

Oh

my god, I, I can’t believe this.

Me neither. Wait, how is this possible? It’s a long story, but all that matters is your grandma is home safe and sound. Holly, honey, can I speak to you for a second? Yeah, what’s up? What is it? Well, I spoke with Tate Black, you know, the boy you ran into at the park earlier. Oh, so his last name is Black. Is he…

Brady’s son. Yeah, I did not put that together. Neither did he. Put together that you’re my daughter. But, uh, he told me about your encounter, and what I want to know is… Who’s this boy you’re in love with? Uh…

Um… Holly! Yeah, she’s, uh, she’s a sweet girl. I’m hoping the two of you can be… Good friends. Yeah. Yeah, well… Actually… Well, actually what? Never mind. No, no, no. Hey, hey. Well, actually what? What are you hoping to sweep her off her feet? Hoping she’ll fall in love with you? What do you have planned here, buddy?

What actually? What? Why are you being so mean about this? I mean, am I not allowed to be attracted to some girl and go out with her? First of all, first of all, she’s not some girl, okay? It’s Nicole’s daughter. Second of all, yeah, you can feel whatever you want to feel. I just… I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to act on it right now.

Cool. Yeah, I’m going to my room. No, Tate, wait. Please, come here.

I know I’m being tough on you right now, okay? I’m sorry about that. But with what happened at your school, I just wish you were a little more focused on making up for that instead of… You caused your parents a lot of anxiety and a lot of disruption. We had to go to California and bring you back here. I already said I was sorry about all that.

I know, but that’s not always good enough. That’s why tomorrow you’re going to be enrolled in Salem High. And when you’re not studying, buddy, you are going to be working. Working? What are you talking about? When you blew me off at lunch, the pub, your Uncle Roman did show up, and as a favor to your mom, he said you could work there.

Work there? Yeah. That is so not fair. I thought you were joking about that whole job thing. I’m not joking, Tate. You caused damage at your school. You’re going to pay for it because of your stupid prank. Come on, Dad. That’s like 50K. It’s going to take me forever to earn that back. Good. And you’ll stay out of trouble forever.

Now that you’re free to go, Ava, I don’t want to see you back here. Ever. Got it? You know, normally, I might have a snarky response, but… I’ll just say that I plan to walk the straight and narrow from now on, I promise. Well, I hope that’s a promise you keep. Oh, I will. Um, is there a phone that I could use to call my son?

I’ve got to ask him to pick me up, and I guess I need a place to stay. You can use the phone in my office. Well, um, I’ll be back.

Bayview is willing to readmit you if you’d like me to drive you over. You know, um,

After everything I’ve been through, you know, I’m feeling pretty good about my mental health. What do you mean? Well, I mean, I had you commit me because I thought I was going to be a danger to other people and I don’t really feel like that anymore. You know, and despite all the stress and everything that happened when I was on the run, I just, I felt like, I felt like I was back in control.

So… With your approval, I would like to end my stay at Bayview, uh, but also keep seeing you on an outpatient basis if that’s… I mean, what do you think about that? I think that’s reasonable. I’ll make the call. Thank you for everything. Yeah, I’m just curious about one thing. Your decision… To leave Bayview, does that have anything to do with the fact that Ava’s no longer there?

Not at all.

Oh, let me get a good look at you. I can’t believe how grown up you are. Why not? My mom must text you photos of me all the time. Well, yeah, she does, but… He doesn’t like seeing you in person. I’m so glad you’re here, honey. Yeah, me too. Granny Mar Mar. What? I never heard my sister calls you that. What, you don’t like it?

Well, you may call me Grandma Marlena. Unless you like sleeping in the broom closet. Deal. Grandma Marlena. Thank you. This kid’s trouble. Oh, you’re telling me. I’m gonna set up your room. I will help you.

Honey, what are you doing? Mom, you are embarrassing me. Why would you be embarrassed? Hello, you are being nosy about my love life. Right out in public. Oh, so you are in love. No, I just made that up. Why would you do that? Because that Tate guy, he tried to kiss me. He did? Yeah, but I’m totally not into him. So, I just made up a story about some boy I was in love with.

You know, to let him down easy. Okay. Well, that was kind of you. And it makes more sense than you not telling me that you’re in love. Because you would tell me, wouldn’t you? Of course I would. Okay, good. Because I feel like you and I have a close relationship, right? And you would be open to telling me something that important?

I just said I would.

All right. Do you want to go back in there or do you want me to walk five paces behind you so I don’t embarrass you? Mom. Mom. Uh, actually, you go on ahead. I’ll catch up. Seriously, Mom, I love you.

Just go. Okay.

I love you too. Hi. You alright? You look a little upset. No, I’m fine. So, something going on in there or what? Oh, right, you were upstairs? Well, you’re never going to believe this!

So… So Ava, Ava was right? You’ve been alive this whole time? Mm hmm. And thank goodness that, uh, Ava and Mr. G. I. Blues, they, they rescued me, because I would have still been locked up and, you know, chained up to that floor in Edmund Crumb’s crummy little flat. Well, I think Ava maybe has redeemed herself this time.

Impossible. Hey, Elvis, you, you, you leave that girl alone, you hear me? Grandma’s right, Dad. Okay. It’s time for you and Ava to just, just wipe the slate clean, okay? Start fresh.

I guess I’m outnumbered here. Fresh slate it is.

Yes!

That’s my you tried to have Ava killed. She may be off the hook. Sure not, Elvis.

Yeah, Harris, that’s wonderful news all around. Yeah, I’m feeling pretty good about it, actually. Um, But I was calling because, is, is Mr. Brady around? Uh, no, he isn’t at the moment, but I’m filling in for him. Is there anything I could do for you? Well, I heard, uh, Eric’s room is vacant, and I was wondering if his dad would take me on as a tenant.

He sure. Yes, absolutely. I think he would be happy to do that, and I would be happy to have you here as well. That’s great. Thank you so much. Well, I’ll let Roman know, and we will see you here soon at the pub, your new home. Look forward to it.

Hey.

Ava. So, um, Tripp’s gonna come pick me up, but I just, I wanted to say goodbye and, um, thanks. Again. No thanks required. So, um,

you headed back to Bayview? Actually, I’m not, uh, gonna go back. And Dr. Evans said she will have me released. Really? That’s terrific. That’s great. So what are you going to do now? Well, uh, since I came to Salem to keep an eye on Megan Romero, and I don’t know, now that she’s gone. Yeah. You can, um, leave town then, huh?

No. I’m gonna stay here in Salem. I grew up here. It seems like a nice place to start a life. That’s, that’s really great. You, um, you have a place to stay. Uh, well, Dr. Evans actually said her son moved out of the Brady Pub, and Kate just rented the room to me. Well, look at that. Everything’s just working out.

And, uh, for what it’s worth, um, I’m really glad you’re staying in Salem.

I guess I’ll see you around. Yeah,

Mommy!

I want my mommy! Shhh. I’ll get

you

back to your mom. I promise. What’s your name? Bella. Okay, Bella, I’m Gabby. Is this your house? No.

Li: Luna! What are you doing here?

Luna: Uh, it’s– it’s good to see you too, aunt li.

Li: I asked you a question.

Luna: Um, I’ve actually been working here for a little while now.

[ Li scoffs ]

Li: I didn’t even know you were in L.A., Let alone working here at forrester creations, where my son’s wife and family work! Answer me! Why are you here?

Luna: Um, I’m here because I need a job and I’ve always wanted to work in fashion.

Li: So, you just randomly picked forrester creations?

Luna: Well, I interviewed for the position on my own. I don’t know, I– I thought it might be a good fit for me.

Li: [ Scoffs ] Really? A good fit? Does your mother know about this?

Luna: No, no. She didn’t know I was interviewing, I swear!

Li: I find that far too coincidental. You could’ve gone anywhere! You and your mother must’ve known finn married steffy forrester.

Luna: No, no! It’s– it’s not like that.

Li: You listen to me. I don’t know what it is you want, but you’re not gonna get it here. You are not welcome at forrester creations!

Rj: Have you seen sheila?

Finn: She’s still in L.A.

Rj: Finn, you know you’re the only thing tying her here. Like, come on. If you convinced her that you didn’t want her in your life anymore?

Finn: Rj, I have been crystal clear that she needs to stay away from me and my family! All I want is for my wife and for my kids to come home. It’s my only focus! Nothing’s gonna distract me from that. Sheila is never gonna be a part of our lives!

Sheila: Hope, I– I know that this is a shock–

Hope: Nope! Stop! I do not wanna hear anything that comes out of your mouth! Dad, the truth. Please. There’s something more going on here, right?

Deacon: Sweetheart, I…

Hope: [ Sobs ] No…

[ Whispering ] Like, this is another setup, right? Like, you’re just trying to get her back in jail where she belongs?

Deacon: No.

Hope: No. No! I mean, it’s sheila! That can’t be!

Deacon: Sweetheart, I’m sorry about this. I can see how upset you are. I’m sorry. I didn’t wanna tell you this way, but it’s true. Sheila and I are in love.

[ Hope sobs ] Twenty bucks I can name all 26 b-dubs sauces.

Hope: This can’t be happening.

Deacon: Just hear me out, okay? She is not the same woman as she was before. She’s changed.

Hope: Dad, I don’t know what she has done to you, but you can’t be with her. She’s dangerous!

Deacon: Honey, she’s not. She’s not anymore. That’s what I’m telling you. Baby, people can change. Look at me. I have made so many mistakes in my life and you have been able to look past them ’cause you saw the man I that I am inside. You gave me the chance to be the dad to you that I have always wanted to be.

Hope: And that is because you put in the hard work, dad! You did the things that you needed to do. You made the right choices, you wanted to be a better man and you cannot convince me that she has done that kind of work!

Deacon: She is! She’s reformed. I told finn the same thing.

Hope: Oh, okay. So, finn knows about this and that’s why he wanted me to come down here, to witness this?

Sheila: Just like your dad is hoping that you can find a way to be happy for us, I’m hoping that too.

Rj: Finn, I know how much you love my sister.

Finn: More than my life, rj. And I’m gonna get ’em back, okay? I’m not gonna let sheila drive them away forever. I promise you, I’m never gonna stop fighting for my family.

Rj: Steffy was– she was happy with you. I mean, she was– she was really happy, you know, before.

Finn: Yeah.

Rj: Look, man. You have a beautiful family, all right? And just know I’m rooting for you, okay?

Finn: Thanks. Um… that means a lot. I appreciate that. Anyway, enough about me. How are you? What’s going on with you? You’re– you’re back in L.A., Working here now. A young, handsome man.

[ Rj laughing ] Is there someone special in your life?

Luna: Aunt li, I– I didn’t mean to upset you, but– but this is just a job. I mean, no one even knows that I’m related to you or finn. I– I haven’t told anyone. I just– I don’t understand why you’re being so hard on me.

Li: You know the history in our family. Your mother’s always been a disgrace! I try to help her out, got her a job at the gift shop in the hospital. What does she do? Has an affair with one of the doctors. One of my colleagues! Ruined his reputation and almost brought me down too because she’s my sister and I brought her in and vouched for her! Your mother has always been a disgrace to our entire family. And now, you show up here, at forrester creations? Finn’s in-laws’ place of business? No, ma’am. I will not allow it. You can go anywhere, do whatever you wish, but not here. Not at forrester creations!

Hope: Dad, please just stop and think about all of the terrible things that sheila has done to us, to our family. I mean, she terrorized mom for years!

Deacon: I know that this has to be difficult for you to understand and I get that it’s gonna take time, but I swear to you, she’s changed.

Hope: Dad, she is not capable! She cannot change!

Deacon: Listen to me. I don’t believe anyone is beyond redemption. Hope, do you know how many people wrote me off?

Hope: Oh, that is not a fair comparison, dad! You are nothing like her because you are not a monster!

Deacon: Neither is she. She’s not the same person. And I swore that to finn and I’m swearing it to you too. She will never hurt anyone else.

Sheila: Your father is right, hope. I– I have learned, I’ve grown, and for the first time in years, I found somebody who loves and accepts me for who I am.

Deacon: Honey, I get it. I– I get how hard this must be and that you’re having trouble wrapping your head around it, but please, trust me. I need you to believe in me here. Trust that I’m making the right decision.

Sheila: Hope, I– I just want to live a normal, decent life like anybody else. I am ready for some peace and some quiet, and I have found love with your father. And yes, at some point, I hope that I have a chance to be a part of your world and a part of finn’s world too.

[ Hope scoffs ]

Hope: Dad, look at me. What do you see?

Deacon: I… see my beautiful daughter. My loving, amazing, good daughter.

Hope: Do you wanna know what I think of when I look at you? I see a man who has made mistakes. Who wasn’t there for me when I was growing up.

[ Tearful ] Who I missed more than anything and I didn’t understand why he was gone. But I see a man who came out the other side of that. Who faced his demons. Who now has a– a business and friends that respect him and a daughter and grandchildren who love him! I see a man–

[ Sobs ] Who has become a father in every sense of the word. Are you really willing to throw that away for her? Because that is what you are risking.

Deacon: Hope, you are and always will be the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. And I love you more than anything in this world. And I don’t wanna lose you. I can’t even think about losing you. And I get it. I get this is a shock. I get this that is upsetting and that it doesn’t make sense, but you know what? Sometimes love doesn’t make sense! I love sheila.

Rj: Come on, man, what makes you think I’m seeing someone? Come on.

Finn: Oh, get out of here, man! It’s written all over your face!

Rj: [ Chuckles ] All right. Yeah, okay. There is– there is someone. All right, it’s new. It’s nothing– it’s nothing serious yet. You know, I’m just– just getting to know her and dude, she’s keeping me guessing, man. Like, all the time. I sw– you know– you ever been in that? Like, it’s just– it’s crazy. [ Laughs ] But, you know. I, uh… god, I love learning anything I can about her.

Luna: Please, aunt li. I mean, it’s like a dream here! I mean, it’s the most prominent fashion house in los angeles. I’m actually getting to work with mr. Eric forrester himself! I’ve also been working closely with rj forrester, brooke and ridge’s son.

Li: I know who he is.

Luna: He’s been so open to me about the way he designs and he’s been showing me the sketches that he and eric– m– mr. Forrester have been working on. And rj’s just beginning to design and the collection that he’s working on with his grandfather’s gonna be his first. And I’ve been following him online–

Li: You’ve been following rj? Or, you mean stalking the poor boy?

Luna: No, no! It’s not like that!

Li: You stay away from him! That’s steffy’s brother!

[ Scoffs ] I can’t believe you. You’re just like your mother. Of all the places, you just happen to land here at forrester creations. There was a reason why your mother wasn’t invited to finn’s wedding!

Luna: I know that you and my mom have never gotten along,

[ Li snorts ] But you know she loves you, aunt li. She talks about you all the time!

Li: I can only imagine what she says.

Luna: She misses you. I know she admires you.

Li: Your mother and I are two totally different people and I told her a long time ago that she has her life, and I have mine! I don’t want to see her! I don’t wish to know her. So whatever you two are planning–

Luna: No, I told you, this has nothing to do with my mom! Please, aunt li! Please let me stay, I’m begging you! This is my dream. Please don’t take it away from me.

Li: You will write your letter of resignation. Then, you will then pack your things and be gone by the end of the day. Your time here at forrester creations is over. Do you hear me, young lady? Over! Stouffer’s makes you happyfull

[ Deacon sighs ]

Deacon: Well, that did not go the way I wanted.

Sheila: Honey, I gotta tell you, what just happened gave me a little bit of hope for hope.

Deacon: It did?

Sheila: Yes! She could’ve walked out that door. She– she could’ve turned her back and walked away and she didn’T. She stayed and she listened to us. Yes, we knew that she was going to be upset and shocked. There was no amount of finessing that was ever gonna change that and we both knew it, but she does love you. You can see it in her eyes, just– just like I can see finn’s love for me.

[ Chuckles ] I think this relationship, our kids are going to accept it. Who knows? Maybe this relationship brings us all closer together. One big, happy family.

[ Door slams ]

Hope: I can’t believe it! I cannot believe it!

Finn: You saw your dad. You know.

Hope: Oh, oh, yes! Yes, I know! I got to witness the entire thing!

Finn: Sorry. Maybe I should’ve told you first.

Hope: No. No, I think this is good because I really don’t think I would’ve believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes, that image of the two of them standing there, just burned into my head! I mean, your– your mom and my dad. In love.

Rj: Whew! I’m beat. [ Chuckles ] How are you? You doing okay?

Luna: It was really wonderful getting to know you, rj.

Rj: What– what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Luna: I think you’re so talented and… I really learned a lot, even though I haven’t been here long.

Rj: Luna, you’re making it sound like this is coming to an end and– and it hasn’t even begun. Hey! Come on. Look at me. Look at me. What’s wrong? What’s this? Is this a letter of resignation?

Luna: I can’t stay here.

Rj: Why can’t you stay here?

Luna: It’s complicated, okay? I have to go and I can’t tell you why!

Rj: Wait, hold on, hold on! I’m not letting you leave. Talk to me!

Luna: I have to. I’m sorry! It’s a family matter. I can’t get into it.

Rj: Luna, that–

Luna: I have no choice. Look, I just– I wanna tell you how grateful I am for the time I’ve had here with forrester and with you. I’ve loved every minute. Goodbye, rj.

Rj: Wait. I’m not letting you go anywhere.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: Okay, here’s one. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths. That will give me an office and a guest room. Don’t really know if I need all that space, but I guess we’ll figure it out.

[ Knocking on door ]

[ Daniel sighing ] Heather. When did you get here? Um, come on in. Sorry.

Heather: Yeah. I– I got in this afternoon, actually.

Daniel: Is lucy with you?

Heather: No. Uh, she’s in lisbon with paul and christine. I just came back to wrap up the last of those pro bono cases that I handled over the summer. Two more days in court.

Daniel: Okay. It’s great to see you.

Heather: Yeah, you too.

Daniel: Is everything all right?

Heather: Yeah, everything’s fine.

Daniel: Are you sure? Because you– you seem a little flustered.

Heather: Just busy. I have a lot, you know.

Daniel: Yeah, but it’s more than that, isn’t it?

Heather: I don’t know, daniel, it’s, um, it’s, uh…

[ Heather exhaling ] This–

Daniel: Whoa, whoa, okay. Okay. What is it? Look, it’s– it’s me. You can talk to me. What’s going on?

Diane: Thank you for today. It was a perfect, beautiful afternoon. Well, almost perfect.

Jack: No, no, no, don’t even go there. I am going to pretend that, that interruption from tucker never even happened. Nothing is going to spoil this moment. And I am standing here alone with my beautiful wife, telling her how much I love her.

Kyle: Thank you.

Audra: I’m guessing you want me to reconnect with kyle so I can use him. You expect me to manipulate him into doing something that benefits you.

Tucker: You know the plan.

Audra: Kyle was never part of the plan.

Tucker: Hey, you keep your eye on the prize. Jabot. We’re gonna take over that company and you are gonna step in and you are gonna run it. Don’t worry about kyle. He’s a means to an end. Unless, of course, he means more to you than you let on.

Audra: Wow, kyle. Twice in one night. You know, I think the universe might be trying to tell us something.

Kyle: Hello, audra.

Audra: Hi, how are you doing? We didn’t really get a chance to talk at the reception.

Kyle: Is that why you followed me here? Or did you have something else on your mind?

Traci: Jack and diane seem so happy, don’t they, billy?

Billy: Yeah. No, it was a very lovely ceremony.

Traci: Yeah. And for kyle to be the one to pronounce them husband and wife is just, I mean, how awesome is that? Billy. Billy!

Billy: What? Yeah.

Traci: Do you figure if you stare at that long enough you’re gonna– you’re gonna be able to tell what’s inside?

Billy: I’m not just staring at it. I mean, are you not curious about what’s inside here?

Traci: No, I don’t care one little bit what sick idea of a wedding gift tucker mccall has given them. And jack doesn’t care either, which is why he’s told us to ignore it and throw it out. So, what are we waiting for?

Audra: So, even if ashley gave you a sign, you’d still go after jabot?

Tucker: Absolutely. She showed me who she really is in paris. And so, now I’m left to believe that everything that came before is just a game. A ploy to pull me back in.

Audra: But why?

Tucker: God knows. Probably some long ago resentment she can’t let go of.

Audra: I think you’re wrong. No, I think she did fall back in love with you. She just found it harder to break away from her family than she thought.

Tucker: I think you missed your calling. Sadly, therapists don’t make the kind of money you’d be interested in though.

Audra: I know what I saw.

Tucker: Not from personal experience, I assume?

Audra: I’ve never been in love in that way.

Tucker: Well, take it from me, it’s highly overrated.

Audra: Well, at least you’ve been there. And I think you still are.

Tucker: In love with ashley?

Audra: Yes. And I also believe that if you gave yourself permission, you know, to go back to that place, you’d give her another chance and call off this attack.

Tucker: Let me be perfectly clear about something, audra. There is nothing that will stop me from dismantling the abbotts and taking everything they hold dear. Nothing.

Both: Hey.

Tucker: What a nice surprise. Sit down. Let me buy you a drink.

Devon: How about, uh, first, you tell me how sincere you really were about making peace with jack earlier. This isn’t charmin!

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

-During an asthma attack,

Tucker: My best wishes to jack and diane were absolutely sincere.

Devon: Since when? What’s changed?

Tucker: Me. My attitude about things. Ashley broke my heart, so I was determined to have her family suffer the way I had suffered. I was driven to have my revenge on them until I realized I can’t hold the abbotts accountable for what she does. Any more than you should be held accountable for something I might do.

Devon: Well, that sounds reasonable.

Tucker: It was as much for me as it was for them. Let me tell you, vengeance can be exhausting.

Devon: I can imagine.

Tucker: Something tells me you’re not quite believing me though.

Devon: I would like to believe you.

Tucker: But?

Devon: But you don’t make it easy all the time. At all. I got conflicting stories that I’m hearing about you. People contacting me worried about what you’re gonna do. I know you came to town going after the abbotts and wanting to make them pay for whatever bad things you thought they did to you.

Tucker: Yeah, it’s all true.

Devon: So, you can understand then why your sudden shift in attitude might surprise some people.

Tucker: Including you?

Devon: Especially me.

Tucker: Well, I can’t think of any other way to prove it to you than the actions I take going forward. I realize that I have disappointed you quite a bit in the past, but I’m telling you right here now, I have no ulterior motive. I feel like my demons have been silenced. I just don’t want any more chaos in my life. Just peace and quiet.

Devon: Well, I hope that’s true.

Tucker: You can count on it.

Devon: I have another question for you. What’s your connection to aunt mamie?

Daniel: Can I, uh, get you something to drink? You want a water or anything?

Heather: No, I’m fine, thanks.

Daniel: So, what’s– what’s– what’s going on? What’s this all about?

Heather: I don’t even know where to start. Um…

Daniel: Well, why don’t you… just tell me what you’re feeling?

Heather: Abject terror?

Daniel: Seriously?

Heather: Uh, no. It’s not that dire. I’m sorry, I didn’t– I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. It’s just that ever since I left genoa city, I– I– I’ve been feeling a little off balance. And, um, it– it– it was like something felt unresolved and I– I don’t– I don’t know what or why.

Daniel: So, this wasn’t just about wrapping up a case?

Heather: No, but it did seem like a good reason to come back and try and figure it all out. It actually started with that conversation with phyllis, when she asked me if I ever thought about returning to the states to live. I mean, that definitely took me by surprise, but it did get me to thinking that– that maybe this feeling of restlessness that I’ve had isn’t just a passing thing. Because ever since I left, the longing to come back home is so strong. I… I can’t ignore it anymore.

Daniel: Well, look, I am all for you guys being closer so I can spend more time with lucy.

Heather: That’s what I came back here to tell you. I’ve decided to wrap up my law practice in europe and move back home.

Daniel: Are– are you serious? I– I don’t– I don’t know what to say. Heather, that’s– that’s fantastic. I mean, I’m– I’m happy. I’m happy for me. I’m happy for you. What– what are you thinking? Are you thinking of going back to uh, savannah?

Heather: No. We’re moving here. Genoa city. I want lucy to be close to her dad.

Audra: I’m not gonna deny it. I did follow you here.

Kyle: Why?

Audra: To talk to you.

Kyle: Oh, the last time we talked, you fired me and then you made it very clear you wanted nothing to do with me, or with us.

Audra: Well, the truth is I missed us.

Kyle: What are you angling for audra?

Audra: I’m not angling for anything. You know, I just regret that things cooled between us. That’s all. You know, I went to the party to tell you that, but you were so occupied all the time, I didn’t really have the chance.

Kyle: You could have tapped me on the shoulder. I was around.

Audra: Yeah, but with nikki and diane glaring at me all night, I kind of lost my nerve.

Kyle: Hm. Because you’re the self-conscious type?

Audra: In some instances, I actually am.

Kyle: Okay. Sure. Well, here we are. So, what now?

Audra: I guess that’s kind of up to you.

[ Kyle chuckling ]

Kyle: Did you really just say that to me? I wasn’t the one who put the brakes on us. That was you. Because you were scared of being fired. I was fine with doing our little thing in private without nikki knowing about it, but then she forced you to ditch me and you lost my number. So, forgive me if I’m not feeling very generous towards you right now.

Audra: Look, everything you’re saying is true. All of the above. But what I’m telling you is, look, I made a mistake and I will do anything I can to try and make it up to you. (Buzz) we’re such great friends we should have a nickname,

Jack: You know what I’ve been thinking?

Diane: What?

Jack: We never danced.

Diane: We didn’t?

Jack: Nope.

Diane: Well, you know, the whole afternoon was such a blur, but you’re right, we didn’T.

Jack: Don’t you think we should?

Diane: Oh, I’m sorry, jack, but the band went home.

Jack: Oh, who needs a band?

Diane: What?

Jack: May I have this dance, mrs. Abbott?

Diane: Of course, mr. Abbott. Aw.

Jack: Hm. We did it. We proved them all wrong. We stood up before god and family and the citizens of genoa city and declared our love for all to see. And they can’t doubt us now. Even nikki was supportive.

Diane: Yeah. And who could’ve imagined that?

Jack: I am just so proud of us. We have shown the world what love and commitment can do. And they have no choice but to accept it, to embrace it, or just turn and walk away. What more could we want?

Diane: Hm. I can think of something.

Jack: Oh, what?

Diane: That this night would last forever. Hm.

[ Door slamming ]

Billy: You know, we could be squandering a real opportunity here.

Traci: I don’t follow you.

Billy: Well, uh, this wedding gift, whatever this is, could be insight into what tucker’s thinking. Right? I mean, [ Sighs ] He loves to believe that he’s more clever than everyone else. Like a riddle from the riddler.

Traci: Or it could be just some– something hateful and despicable that he’s aiming at ashley and the abbotts specifically.

Billy: Uh-huh.

Traci: Or it could be a blender.

[ Laughs ] Oh, I don’t care. Why are you obsessing about this, billy? Come on. Let’s just take it to the trash, open up the lid and put it in there.

Billy: Hm. Okay. Fine.

[ Billy exhaling ] To hell with it.

Traci: Oh, billy, what are you doing?

Billy: No, I’m just satisfying my curiosity.

Traci: Come on, jack said that–

Billy: I know what jack said. He said, get rid of it and I will. I just want to see what’s inside first and we’ll start with the card. “May this symbol of harmony, balance, and patience bring those elements to your new life as husband and wife.” That’s very sweet. It rhymes. Okay.

[ Traci sighing ]

Traci: Hm. I guess that’s it, huh?

Billy: Hm.

Traci: No evil dolls or exploding clocks.

[ Traci laughing ] I hope you’re satisfied.

Tucker: What makes you think there’s some connection between me and your aunt mamie? I hardly know her.

Devon: Well, why did you look at her like that?

Tucker: Like what?

Devon: Like you did. The look you gave each other was clearly more than two people that barely knew each other.

Tucker: I’m sorry, I don’t know what look you’re referring to. Um, if there was a look, you’re misreading it. I mean, seriously, what connection could there possibly be between us? Are you guys watching? This is my favorite part.

Devon: Actually, you know what? Let me back up for you. Um, recently, mamie just made an investment into chancellor-winters and it came completely out of the blue. She didn’t tell me or lily beforehand that she was gonna do it. And her reasoning behind that, I don’t really buy.

Tucker: That’s very interesting, but what does that have to do with me?

Devon: I don’t know what it has to do with you. That’s why I’m asking. Trying to connect the dots. Because when you came to town, you were going after jabot and then you planted audra in my company because you were interested in it. Then, you just recently lost your chance at a new venture with ashley and now you’re claiming that you’re not interested in jabot anymore. And then, suddenly, mamie shows up and she buys a stake in chancellor-winters. So, what should I make of it?

Tucker: It sounds like a series of random, unconnected events to me.

Devon: Really?

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: I know what I saw between you and mamie. You can sit here and deny it all you want.

[ Indistinct ] You might as well just tell me what the connection is.

[ Both exhaling ]

Audra: God, I missed that.

Kyle: Uh-huh.

[ Audra sighing ] So, what now?

Audra: Now, we continue to see each other.

Kyle: Really?

Audra: Yes, really.

[ Kyle scoffing ] I want that.

Kyle: What changed?

Audra: Nothing.

Kyle: Hm.

Audra: I just decided you’re worth the risk.

Kyle: Hm. Well, I’m flattered, but nikki has her antennas up. So, even if we’re careful, she’s bound to find out eventually.

Audra: Then, let her.

Kyle: I’m serious.

Audra: So am I. You know, I’m no longer concerned with what nikki thinks or does. And if she’s gonna fire me over having a private life, so be it.

Kyle: Wow. That’s a switch. It’s almost like you have a backup plan.

Audra: Hm. Maybe I do.

Heather: What do you think about us moving back here?

[ Daniel scoffing ]

Daniel: I’m thrilled.

Heather: Really? Oh. Sorry. Thank god.

Daniel: I– I’m sorry, but did you think that I wouldn’t be?

Heather: I wasn’t sure how you’d react. I was, um, I was practicing what I would say to you in my room like I was going over arguments for court. I was really nervous.

Daniel: I– I just want to know why though. I mean, you know that I wanted to spend more time with lucy. I– I just– I thought after everything that I put the both of you through that you never wanted to ever be close to me ever again.

Heather: That was a really bad time. You hurt us deeply. Both of us. You destroyed our family.

Daniel: Yeah. No, I’m– I’m aware. Thank you. Um, and you know, that’s something that I’ve struggled with. I struggled, wondering if you would ever be able to forgive me. And I mean, really forgive me. And I think it’s a miracle that lucy and I have been able to get so close again, but… well, for you to say that you wanna come back here. I don’t know what to say. I mean, that’s beyond my wildest dreams.

Heather: I do forgive you, daniel. I have seen such growth, such humility. I mean, you are finally becoming the man I always knew that you could be. So yes, I completely forgive you. Try killing bugs the worry-free way.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Daniel: You have no idea how much that means to me to hear you say that.

Heather: I had to let all that go, daniel. I mean, as much for my own sake as yours. The anger and the resentment was weighing me down. And then, I saw how you changed. How you were with lucy. How much she loves you. How she forgave you and it just went away.

Daniel: [ Exhales ] Well, um, I, for one, am glad that you did not give up on me.

Heather: So am I.

Daniel: And I’m not gonna lie. I kinda love the idea of the two of you moving here. You know, I can see the both of you every single day and I don’t know, we can just be a family again.

Heather: That’s all I needed to hear.

Kyle: So, what’s this backup plan of yours?

Audra: Hm?

Kyle: Well, you don’t seem to be scared of nikki’s wrath anymore. So, what are you cooking up?

Audra: I just missed you. Isn’t that enough?

Kyle: I am flattered audra, but I know you. So, what else are you doing?

Audra: I never said I had a backup plan, okay? Just that, you know, there’s a few possibilities out there. That’s all.

Kyle: And you aren’t gonna tell me what they are?

Audra: Well, I don’t wanna jinx it, kyle. Not until I actually know what’s gonna happen for sure. Anyway, I’d much rather talk about you.

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: What about me?

Audra: Hm. Well, it’s been a while since, you know, you left newman media. I’m sure you have a few irons in the fire.

Kyle: Oh, since you fired me?

Audra: After nikki forced me to fire you, okay? I regret caving into her. I do. And, you know, I– I made a mistake. And didn’t I just prove to you how I really feel about you? So, can we please just drop it?

Kyle: Mm. Well, consider it dropped.

Audra: Thank you.

Kyle: Well, yes, I do have a few possibilities of my own.

Audra: I mean, if you don’t want to tell me that’s fine. It’s– it’s only fair.

Kyle: No, I’m not scared of jinxes. So, there are rumblings at jabot that my dad is, surprise, surprised, not too happy with billy’s performance. So, there may be an opening there soon.

Audra: Oh.

Kyle: That’s an underwhelming response.

Audra: Well, I’m sorry, kyle, but even if that were true, do you really think jack would give that position to you?

Diane: I’m so glad that kyle agreed to officiate.

Jack: Seems to me the least he could do for his parents, don’t you think?

Diane: That’s true. I loved it.

Jack: It was lovely. I liked it a lot too.

Diane: I saw it as a sign that he is fully on board with our marriage. And you know what else I saw as a positive sign? That he didn’t bring a date to the wedding.

Jack: Need I remind you audra showed up?

Diane: Yeah, but kyle barely even acknowledged her. And he and summer seem to be getting along, so I don’t know, maybe there’s hope for their little family.

Jack: Maybe.

Diane: You don’t seem very optimistic.

Jack: Oh, I don’t know. If it happens, it happens. The one thing I do know is nothing good will come of us pushing him. And audra did show up and as I saw it, she was pretty interested in rekindling things.

Diane: Yeah. But it takes two people on board to make that happen. And kyle definitely seemed not to be.

Tucker: Yes, I know mamie as someone to say hello to, but that’s as far as it goes. I don’t know how you go from there to– to me using her to get my hooks into chancellor-winters?

Devon: So, the look you gave her was just–

Tucker: It was just a look. It was a glance, recognition. Oh, look, there’s mamie. Frankly, I’m afraid you’re buying into the town’s collective suspicion of me. If you saw something in that look, maybe mamie has an ulterior motive, but it’s got nothing to do with me.

Devon: Okay.

Tucker: Is that okay, yes I believe you? Or, okay, I still have my doubts?

Devon: That an okay, that I’m choosing to believe you.

Tucker: It still doesn’t solve your problem though, does it?

Devon: What do you mean?

Tucker: Well, you’re concerned there’s something going on with your investor. What is it? Maybe I can help? You know that feeling of having to rewash dishes

Jack: Is that what I think it is?

Billy: Yes. I opened up tucker’s wedding gift.

Traci: Honestly, jack, I tried.

Jack: I’m sure you did.

Billy: And so, what?

Jack: So what? Once again, you have completely ignored what I asked you to do.

Billy: I was curious, jack.

Jack: Oh. And your curiosity led you to this plant? I’m sure there was a great payoff for that. Huh?

Billy: No, no. What do you think?

Jack: You don’t want to know what I think?

Diane: You know what? I’m glad that billy opened it.

Jack: Why?

Diane: Why? Because it takes its power away. If we would have just thrown it away and never discovered what it was, we’d always be wondering and talking about tucker’s gift. You know, is it a message or a warning or an olive branch?

Jack: Frankly, I don’t give a damn.

Diane: Really, jack? Are you that much more evolved than the rest of us?

Jack: I didn’t say that.

Billy: Well, you sure implied a whole hell of a lot.

Jack: You’re both completely missing my point. The reason I want that thing thrown away is I don’t want tucker mccall in any way, shape, or form intruding on what is one of the happiest days of my life. Here we are talking about tucker, speculating about tucker. I have had it up to here. I want this over and done with.

Diane: All right. Well, I would like to think that this gift is tucker’s way of expressing the same thing. That– that he’s done being at war with the abbotts and he wants peace.

Jack: I wish I shared your optimism. Nothing that man has ever done should be taken at face value. I know you see this as a harmless gift, but tucker isn’t done.

Tucker: Tell me what’s going on. Why are you worried about mamie buying a piece of chancellor-winters?

Devon: It’s– it’s just a feeling I get.

Tucker: That’s all good. I can work with that.

Devon: Uh, I didn’t know it was this late. I need to get back home.

Tucker: Okay, some other time then?

Devon: Sure. Some other time.

Tucker: Um, devon.

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: Are we good? Do you still suspect that I’m involved in some kind of conspiracy? Whatever it might be.

Devon: Tucker. Honestly, if you meant what you said earlier, then I’m happy and relieved.

Tucker: But you still have your doubts? I just hope someday that, uh, we come to a point where suspicion of me is not your first instinct.

Devon: I mean, that’s really up to you, right?

Tucker: Indeed it is.

Devon: I’ll see you later.

Tucker: See you.

Heather: One of the good things– thank you. That my dad taught me was that life is too short to not go after the things that are important to you. So, I did it when I moved to portugal, even if it was to escape a bad situation, and I guess I’m doing it again. Deciding to leave a successful law practice over there to start all over again in a new place.

Daniel: Oh, well, you know, I wouldn’t say you’re starting all over again. And, you know, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll be just as successful here in genoa city.

Heather: Thank you. I appreciate your support.

Daniel: Yeah. And, you know, you have options too. If you want to stay in private practice, you can do that. If– if you want, I can talk to devon and lily, see if maybe there’s something they can set you up with over at chancellor-winters.

Heather: I don’t want any favors.

Daniel: This would be doing them a favor. Trust me. Um, when are you planning on making this move? What’s the timeline look like?

Heather: Immediately? If you’re taking an antidepressant So, you know, she doesn’t

Heather: The reason why I wanted to come back right away is to get lucy situated in school. So, you know, she doesn’t miss too much of the year.

Daniel: That makes sense and I can take care of that while you get everything packed up.

Heather: That’s great. Thank you.

Daniel: Yeah. Look, if there’s anything that you can think of that you want or need, just ask and I’ll get it done.

Heather: I will.

Daniel: This is really happening, huh?

Heather: It’s crazy, huh? You know, life just surprises you and takes you to places you never thought you’d ever go.

Daniel: Or come back to you.

Heather: You made this really, really easy, daniel. Thank you. This went so much better than I thought it would or however I feared it would go.

Daniel: I’m a little surprised that you thought it could go poorly because I gotta tell you, I am 100% on board here. I– I cannot be happier.

Heather: I’m about to grab a bite. You want to join?

Daniel: Uh, I– I would– I would love to, but I actually have a dinner appointment that I’m already late for. So, um, what about a drink tomorrow?

Heather: Yeah. I’d love that.

Daniel: This is– this is gonna be great.

Heather: Yeah, I think so too.

Daniel: So tomorrow.

Heather: Tomorrow.

Daniel: I’ll call you.

Heather: I’ll look forward to it.

Kyle: Why do you think my dad wouldn’t offer me the top job at jabot? I’ve had it once before.

Audra: Yes. But he’s always figured out a way to push you aside whenever it suited him.

Kyle: I was responsible for some of that too.

Audra: I mean, I think it’s great that you’re taking some ownership, but, you know, even if billy is pushed out the door, wouldn’t logical wisdom make diane next in line?

Kyle: Mm-mm. I don’t think so.

Audra: Why not?

Kyle: I love my mother, but between you and me, she’s not ready for a high-level position like that. She hasn’t been there before and on some level, my dad knows that too.

Audra: Hm. Okay. So, what happens if jack doesn’t get rid of billy?

Kyle: Then, I’ll just have to help things along.

Diane: I’m not saying tucker is as zen as he claims to be. He’s still a snake. But now we have some leverage with that snake and maybe that’s why he’s giving up the war.

Traci: I suppose it’s possible.

Billy: Uh.

Jack: I don’t know.

Diane: We’re so used to being on guard with everything that tucker does or says or even thinks. We need a new perspective. Jack, we were just outside and you were saying how nice it was to be together and not worry about the world and all its problems. We just renewed our wedding vows. It is time for a fresh start. We shouldn’t waste our time or our lives waiting for tucker mccall to drop another shoe.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey. Hey. Um, I hope I’m not late. I couldn’t remember what time I said I was going to pick you up. That is because we didn’t set a time. Oh. Sorry. Why are you sorry? If we didn’t set a time, that means you’re not early or late. That’s a good point. Yes, you’re right. So, where are we headed? I thought that you were picking the place.

Well, I thought you were picking the place. Okay, well maybe your mom has a good recommendation or something? Well, I’m sure she would, but she’s not here. I haven’t seen her since this morning. Oh. So you’re saying that we’re… Uh, you and I are here alone. Yep. Okay then. I think I might have just solved our dilemma of what we should do tonight.

What can I do? I mean, after I got kicked out of school, my parents hopped on a plane and dragged me back to Salem, so I’m stuck here now. Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey man, I gotta call you back. Hey, you dropped something. Oh my god, I can’t believe I almost lost that. You’re a serious lifesaver.

Like I said, I, my mom was just pressuring me to tell her how serious we were. And all I was saying when you walked in was that I could someday see myself getting married to you. But it’s not like I was dropping any hints about wanting to get married now. Okay. Good. I just don’t think that we have to rush anything.

I mean, I like the way things are. Don’t you? Absolutely. Okay. So, um, I have to go pick up the kids from Doug and Julie’s. I should probably get going.

I’ll see you in a little bit. Sounds good. Okay.

Look, Teresa, I’m just getting settled in here, as you can see. You have to eat, don’t you? Yeah, but I was planning on a working dinner. You’re turning me down for work? Oof. Wow. Maybe it was pity, sex, and grease then after

all.

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

Now, how many people can say that they are dating their husband? I mean, wait, I know, married people are always talking about planning dates. night or whatever, but this is just different. This is really dating, you know, the kind where you kiss good night, not the end of it. You go your separate ways, which I am so hoping.

Oh, that is not the case tonight. Oh, OK. So Abe. It’s definitely coming to your place, right? Yeah, he is. And Kate, I’m so damn nervous. What if I put my foot in it and make the man not want to remember I’m his wife? There’s no way that is not going to happen, okay? Ava’s lost his memory, hasn’t lost his mind.

Why would he not want to remember that he is married to one of the most charismatic, fascinating women in all of Salem? Oh, well, Kate, oh, hey. You do wonders for my ego and it’s very much appreciated. Especially tonight. Oh, oh, you know what, huh? Oh, I better, I better get started. I better go home. I better start cooking.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Wish me luck. You don’t need luck, okay? All you need is your awesome self. And you need to let that man know how lucky he was and is going to be sharing a life with an extraordinary woman like you. Oh, okay. I will! And thank you, thank you for the very effective… Oh, my pleasure. Okay, now you need to get going and get ready.

Okay. Yes! I’ve got this.

Abe? Hello? I, uh, I hope I’m not interrupting. I know you don’t remember me, but I’m really glad we ran into each other because I’ve been meaning to come and see you. I know who you are. You’re Nicole Walker. That’s right. And you have a daughter named Holly. Oh my god. I can’t believe this. You have your memory back.

Thank you, thank you. If I’d lost this… Oh my god, I owe you. Big time. Hey, hey, no worries. I’m, um, I’m Tate, by the way. Holly. Did you go to Salem High? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before. Yeah, I used to live around here, but I moved away a long time ago. But now you’re back? For a while, yeah. You don’t sound too happy about it.

Yeah, yeah, I wasn’t at first, but um… Hey, maybe it won’t be so bad.

So what brought you back here? Did one of your parents get transferred or work or something? Actually, no. I got in some, uh, trouble at school, so my parents brought me back to straighten my life out. See, according to my dad, I’m way too much like my mom,

Theresa. Mm-hmm. . I told you that was not pity sex at all. Hey. I wanted to be with you, and I promise you we will have that first date, but tonight I really do have work to do.

Okay, fine. A multi billion dollar corporation is more important than a night out with me. Mmm, I promise you we will have that date. Oh, really? Really. Can I get that in writing? You don’t believe me? No, it’s… Well, maybe you’re saying no because you think maybe I’m just after your money. Hey.

Mama! Hey, Paulina, how’s it, uh, how’s it going? Oh, hey there! Well, uh, oh, well, no need to be embarrassed. Well, I’m happy to see you two back together again. Yeah, well, you, uh, You frisky kids, you’re gonna have to take that someplace else. Oh, really? And, uh, why’s that? Because mama’s got a date tonight. Okay. Abe, I don’t know how you’re just sitting here reading your tablet when you should be dancing in the streets.

You have your memory back. Everyone’s been waiting for this day. Nicole, I think you’re getting ahead of yourself. What? I’m sorry. I don’t remember you. I, I, I don’t remember any of my life before I woke up in the hospital. But you, you knew my name, and my daughter’s name. Well, that’s, that’s because of my education.

Education? Yeah, see, uh, uh, When I moved in with Steve and Kayla, Kayla started showing me photographs of people from my past. And, uh, well she told me about, about who they are. And things pertaining to, to their lives. Oh. Yeah, I guess, uh.

I guess I did get a little ahead of myself.

So, What else do you know about me?

Well, Let’s see, uh, Nicole, Nicole Walker, um,

You and I were friends, right?

Actually, we were more than that. You’ve been like a father to me, and I’ve missed you. Very much.

Why would I suddenly think you’re after my money? Because I know my reputation. I mean, you would be a silly little fool for it not to have crossed your mind. So are you trying to get me to not trust you? No. I’m just trying to get it out in the open to remind you, okay, that we had talked about going out before I knew about your…

Inheritance, and that I had absolutely no idea that you were Victor Kiriakis son the night that we slept together. Yeah?

Well, you didn’t have to remind me. Luckily, I happen to be secure enough in my incredible animal magnetism and charm that it didn’t even occur to me that you could actually be gold digging. Ha! Okay, great. Now that that’s out of the way, you have no excuse to blow me off. Well, uh, other than my actual excuse of having to work.

Oh, come on. It’s after hours. You’re gonna work. You need to relax. You need to enjoy a little bit. You can work tomorrow. Tomorrow’s another day. So you’re just gonna be inventing every reason to put me on the spot, huh? Have I worn you down yet?

I don’t know. Wait, wait, wait. So, the sprinklers went off over the entire school? Yeah, like a downpour in every classroom, every dorm room, and in every office, too. Yaaay. Yeah, yeah. What did you think was gonna happen when you pulled that alarm? I don’t know. I thought maybe we’d get a nice little fire drill, everybody gets to go outside for a while.

And, uh, The physics exam that nobody studied for gets postponed. Hmm, you thought you’d be a hero. Yeah, yeah, well the uh, the headmaster had a different take on the situation. Fifty thousand dollars in damages later. So now my parents are trying to get me a job dishwashing to pay back all the damage that I caused.

Which is, which is good news because it should only take me… I don’t know, 20 years or so. Yeah, right. Well, hey, maybe it’s lucky for you that I did drop my bag. Yeah? Why’s that? Because, seems to me, like you need to light up and forget your troubles. Hmm? So

my son, Brandon, is My half brother. And Faye was our mother. Faye. Yeah, you loved her very much. In fact, that’s how you and I connected. Babe, you are so wise and kind. And you were the person that I turned to when I felt lost. You never judged me. And you were always there for me. Wow. I hope I get my memory back soon, because you just seem like a very special person.

Oh, hmm. Very flawed person, actually. I’ve been known to make some bad choices, to put it mildly. Well, welcome to the human race. You see, that’s exactly what my dear friend Abe Carver would have said to me back in the day. Finally. I wish I could be that guy for you again. You are that guy. And hopefully after my baby is born in a few months, you will be a big part of her or his life.

Well, you know Holly must be excited about having a little brother or sister on the way. Mmm, I don’t know about that. Holly’s a teenager and she’s excited about… Whatever teenage girls are excited about. Boys. Oh, I suppose. I hope not. Because I am not ready for that yet.

Um, am I, am I keeping you? Uh, you know, I have somewhere I have to be soon. But I am a little nervous, actually. Where do you have to be? I have a date. With my wife. Paulina Price and I are having dinner tonight. So, what’s

the plan? The plan is a lovely, quiet, home cooked dinner. Oh, nice. Oh, I have to preheat the oven. Oh, you know, I’m not sure how I look. Uh, you know, uh, what do you think? How do I look in this dress? Uh, should I, should I wear slacks on or something more casual? What you’re wearing is perfect. And Mama, Try not to be so nervous, okay?

You and Abe, you’ve been out a few times. And you’ve had fun, right? Yes, yes, yes, but uh, tonight is different because we’re not meeting in a restaurant. My lovely dear Abraham, he’s coming here to the place that we once shared. The place where he left, because it was just too much for him and if it, well, if it still is, I’m just worried that I might push him away for good.

Yes, Mom, Chad and I finally talked about what he walked in on the other night. It turns out he’s not interested in getting married any time soon.

No, of course not. I told him that I was totally on the same page.

Yes, I was lying, but what else am I supposed to say? I don’t want to come across as desperate. Hang on, I gotta go. He’s coming back.

Hey! Where are the kids? Ah, well, they, um, they begged me to stay at Doug and Julie’s for the night, so. It’s just gonna be the two of us for dinner. Oh. Well, um, you wanna order in? You know, I was thinking maybe we should go out. Bistro. That sounds great. I’ll, uh, I’ll just grab my purse and you call for a table.

Okay. Hey, Steph. Um, I was thinking about our conversation. Which conversation? About marriage. Oh. Uh huh. And I just, I, I, I don’t want things to be weird. I want to make sure that we’re good. We’re good. Like I said, I don’t want to rush into anything either. Are you sure? Positive. Okay. Alright. Then let’s hit the bistro.

Beautiful, thank you. Alright, got us a res at the bistro. Don’t you have like a little assistant who can do that for you? You know, call up the bistro and say, Hi, Mr. Kriakis is coming in. I’d like a very special table for a very special friend. Maybe next time. Oh, so you’re committing to a second date? I am down with that.

Even though I’m not exactly sure of one thing. Uh oh, what’s that? Well, I know we got the whole gold digging thing cleared up, but…

But…

You’re not using me to make Brady jealous, are you? Okay, okay. I’m gonna tell this to you like this. Brady and I just picked up our son from California because he got kicked out of school. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Yeah, and of course Brady blames me because Brady’s Brady and I’m me. And if you had flown with us on the plane all the way over here, you would not be questioning my feelings for that man.

Okay. So you got in a fight about your kid? We got in a fight about everything. I’m surprised the Air Marshal didn’t arrest us. What the hell did they do to get poked out of school? I don’t know. According to him, it was some prank gone wrong. Played by the victim of overbearing parents and intolerant school administrators.

Sounds like my kind of kid. Sorry, I’m kidding. Um, where is he now? He’s with Brady. Hopefully Salem will be good for him. And all the drama will be in the past.

Where’d you get that? Maybe you haven’t followed the news, but weed is legal in this state. Yeah, weed is legal in California too, but it doesn’t mean they let teenagers into dispensaries to buy it. Are you gonna read me the local bylaws or? Do you want to get high?

I, um, could stand to chill out a bit. Me too.

Hang on.

There is a cop right over there. Okay, so maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. No, it’s just an idea we save for later. Do you want to hang out sometime? You and me? Sure. Put your number in.

Hi, it’s Tate. Now I’ve got mine. Tate. Holly. Cop’s still there.

It’s too bad. I still owe you for finding my bag. You’ll have plenty of time to make it up to me. Yeah, well, thanks again. You’re welcome.

Oh. Huh. What are you doing?

So you’re nervous about going back to your old place? Yes. You know, I, I lived there before I moved in with Steven Kayla Johnson, and I had to face the weight of Paulina’s expectations. And now I’m concerned that if I’m. I’m alone there with her. Well, once again, uh, those expectations might rise to the surface.

Abe, I’m sure Paulina isn’t gonna pressure you. Have you met the woman?

Okay, uh, historically, I used to come to you with the problems and you would dish out the sage advice. So I will, uh, I’ll give it a try. I use all the dice I can get, so… What do you say? Just go with the flow. Live in the moment and don’t get caught up in the expectations. Because there are worse things than having a wonderful woman madly in love with you.

You know, I may not remember you, but I’m starting to understand why we were so close. I’m glad we had this time together. Me too. And you mind if I give you a hug? Oh, not at all. Okay. Oh.

Good luck Eve. And I hope to talk to you again soon. Oh, you will, for sure. For sure. Oh, yes. Thank you. Okay. Bye

now.

So, you’re going to do the carrots and not the asparagus with the lamb? You sure about that? Look, Chanel, your mom has got this, okay? It’s our job to stay out of her way. Thank you, Johnny. Have a good time. Mm hmm.

What? What is it, baby girl? Uh, Mama, try to remember that. Abe’s memory, it may be spotty or whatever, but… His heart is the same, and somewhere deep down his love for you is still there. It’s just waiting to resurface again. And when it does, it is going to be just as strong as it was before. Maybe even stronger.

Oh, Chanel. You know, sometimes you drive me crazy. Sometimes, you sure know the right thing to say. Well, you know, I know it’s gonna work out. Because… Just look at Chanel and me. And we found our way back to each other. Because it was meant to be. Same as you and Abe. Oh. Come here, you two! Oh! You might need to come back over here and repeat that same speech to Abram.

Let me know. Okay, now get, okay. I’ve got a date and I’ve got you prepared for. Okay, okay. Go on.

So, Ava’s seeing Pauline. She’s like, yes! And it’s a pretty big deal. Because they won’t be on neutral territory like they were for their previous days. So obviously that could lead to something other than, you know, a goodnight kiss. Well, we can only hope. She’s so excited. She really is, but she’s very nervous too.

But that’s understandable. You know, knowing Pauline as I do, she is so full of fun, she’s so vibrant, and even if Abe doesn’t get his memory back, I think he might fall in love with her all over again. Oh, yeah. Well, and speaking of love, I, I talked to Chad. Yeah, he was talking about his feelings for Stephanie.

I understand they’re very happy together. Yes, yes, they are. They are. I just hope that that continues.

Teresa! Hey, Cuts! Hi! I didn’t know you were still in Salem. I guess you meant it when you said you were sticking around. Yeah, well, things have changed. A little. What? What’s going on? It’s a long story, but Tate’s in town, too. Oh, really? Is he here with you tonight? No, he’s with Brady. Oh, well, you shouldn’t have to eat alone.

Why don’t you, why don’t you join us? Oh, I’m actually, um, I’m expecting someone. He’s just parking the car. Oh, there he is.

Chad. Steph. Good to see you guys. You too. This guy was going to spend the night working, but I wore him down. So now he’s having dinner with me. Well, that’s great. I’m going to use the ladies. You want to come with me? I’ll tell you about Tate. Sure. I’ll be right back.

So, um, Stephanie filled me in on everything going on with you and your family. Uh, you okay? Yeah, yeah, I mean it hasn’t fully sunk all the way in yet, but um, I’m rolling with it. Your dad is not really my biological dad. Didn’t see that coming. Well, I’m, I mean, for what it’s worth, you know, I, I, um, I went through something pretty similar when I found out Stefano was my father.

Um, I’m probably one of the few people who actually knows what you’re going through. Yeah, well, I guess so. So I guess, I’m just, what I’m saying is, I know we’ve had our issues. You know, but I’m here if, hey, if you want help or whatever. I appreciate it, man. Thank you, Chad, seriously. Yeah.

So, um, Teresa. Yeah, she just had to uproot her son, drag him to Salem. So I guess we’re all just dealing with the fact that our lives are being turned upside down.

Oh my God. Oh my God. I am so sorry. We were just, we were talking about hanging out and we were standing really close to each other. I just thought, don’t, don’t worry about it. I feel bad. I feel like a jerk. I just, I didn’t mean to. Tate, it’s fine. Really. Look, I’m cool with being friends. Okay. But I’m kind of in love with somebody already.

Oh. Oh, oh, so you’re with someone. Actually, we haven’t gone out or anything, but I’m pretty sure he likes me too. At least I hope so. Hey, that’s great. That’s great. Good for you. Yeah. So, friends? Uh, yeah, friends. I mean, I don’t have any other friends in this town, so. Well, we’ll hang out soon, and it’ll be fun.

Not awkward at all. I promise. Yeah. So, uh, have you, have you known this guy a long time? Pretty much forever.

Okay, let me see if I can find this movie. Please tell me it is not another foreign film with weird dream sequences and subtitles. No, no. In fact, tonight we are going to be watching a brilliant piece of world cinema called… Clueless. Oh, wait, wait. Clueless? Clueless. I love that movie. But isn’t that a little too normal for you?

Oh, come on. I’m not a movie snob. Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, awesome 90’s soundtrack. Okay, now you’re speaking my language. I’m gonna go get some popcorn started.

Okay. Is something wrong? It’s, it’s gonna go okay for a moment. Right? No. It’s gonna go great.

Olena, girl, who are you so anxious about? This is, this is just your husband. This is your incredible, loving husband. Oh!

Abraham. Hello, Pauline. Um, you look, you look beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. You, you look pretty great yourself. Come here. Oh, come here. Come here. Oh, I’ll take that. Ah. Hmm. Well this, oh, well this, this was an excellent choice. Oh yeah, that was recommended by the man in the store. Ah, well, you know, this stuff, uh huh.

Uh, yeah, I am, um, Oh, I was just so looking forward to tonight. Oh, me too, me too. Oh, something just smells delicious. Lamb chops. You were always very partial to them, so I thought, you know, I thought that it might bring back… Oh, well, you know, you always liked them, so there’s a good chance that you’ll like them again.

I better decant the wine. Oh, you know what, uh, let me do it. Let me do it.

What? How did you know where that was?

Well, I

wasn’t even thinking. I just wanted to decanter and believe it was just a guess. You bought that decanter after we were married. Did I? Mm hmm. We could decide where to put it. Then you decided that we should keep it there. I’m sorry, I… I don’t remember. Oh, well. I’m taking it as a sign. And with more good things to come.

You know, uh, I’ll decant the wine.

I know your father doesn’t have his memory back, but sitting with him, ah, just, it was like old times. Yeah, me too, Brandon. I love you. Alright.

Tate? Yeah? Oh, it’s, it’s me, Nicole. Cool. Oh, oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I remember. Sorry, it took me a second. Yeah, no, it’s okay. It’s, it’s, it’s been a while. I only recognized you because I’ve seen so many pictures, you know, that your parents post. Right, yeah. I, I didn’t know you were in town. Yeah, it wasn’t really a planned thing.

Um, I was kind of forced to come back, but… Oh, so you’re not happy about it. Did something happen in California? Long story, I’m sure my dad will tell you all about it. Okay, well I’m glad to see you. I know it’s not easy moving and leaving all your friends behind. Yeah, yeah, but uh, I did just meet this nice girl in the park, so…

Oh, well that was fast. Yeah, but I um, I thought that… What? Never mind, never mind, I just feel really stupid. Uh, but you don’t need to hear about it, so… Oh, T, come on. Why did you feel stupid? Because, I kinda, I kinda thought she was into me. But, uh, she shot me down pretty quick. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, yeah, turns out she’s, uh, she’s into somebody else, so.

New lease on life, thanks to surgery at the hospital for sick…

Johnny! Hi! Holly, hey! Whatcha doin Uh, just actually getting ready to watch a movie. Hmm. Yeah. Shoulda known since you’re such a movie expert. I don’t know if I would say that I’m an expert, but I’m a big fan of them. The good ones. Right. Well, I’m a fan too, I just don’t really know much about them. Oh, man, I’ve got…

A ton of books about movies. You can borrow one whenever you want. Thanks. Yeah. That’s really nice of you.

So, what are you watching tonight? Um, tonight, we are actually Wait a second, shall you try this? I have been working on this new blend of salt and spices. Hey, look who’s joining us. Holly, you remember Chanel, right? Are you guys, like, back together? We are. That’s great. I’m really happy for you. Thank you. So, Alex and Teresa, huh?

I’m not surprised. I mean, Alex was her type even before he came into the Kiriakis fortune. So now… Huh. Hope it works out. I guess one thing about Theresa, she’s motivated. I wouldn’t wanna be in her way. Thank you. What? For? Convincing me to come out. I mean, harassing you until you came? Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes. That, and I’m glad you did.

To be honest, it feels like the earth hasn’t really stopped moving from underneath my feet. It just feels easy to kind of bury myself in the work. Well, like I said, work can wait. You needed to get out. Have some fun. I did. Truly. So thank you again.

To working so hard for this. Cheers. Cheers.

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: What is it, finn? What is wrong?

Deacon: I told you I wanted to talk to you about your mom.

Finn: You and deacon are–

Sheila: Are in love. I know, it’s hard to believe, but we– we couldn’t be happier.

Hope: Finn, if there is something that you need to tell me, please, just say it.

Sheila: Yeah, it’s not gonna be easy telling people about us. You have got to be thinking about hope.

Deacon: Yeah, of course I am. I mean, hope’s gonna be surprised, no doubt.

Sheila: Oh, “surprised.”

Deacon: Okay, maybe that wasn’t exactly the right choices of words.

Sheila: She’s gonna be shocked to find out that we’re in love, and it’s gonna be even worse when she finds out you’re going to be my husband. You could really lose hope, deacon. Is it gonna be worth it?

Rj: You know, the longer this mystery goes on, the more I’m intrigued by you? Starting to make up stories, you know, about your past, et cetera.

Luna: Oh, wow, you think about me that much?

Rj: Maybe. Maybe. First theory: You are a princess in hiding and you’re slumming here at forrester?

Luna: Hardly.

Rj: Hardly? Okay. Second theory.

Luna: Mm-hmm.

Rj: International spy. No? Poker face? Nothing? All right. Okay. Hey, whatever it is, you’re a beautiful mystery and I can’t wait to find out more about you.

Rj: I’m just saying, I don’t know anything about you. You know a pretty big secret about me.

Luna: Yeah, one that I’ll never share.

Rj: I know, and I’m saying that if you don’t want me to share something that you tell me with anybody, I’ll never share it. You can trust me, okay? I promise.

Carter: Oh, sorry to interrupt.

Luna: Oh, no, I think the coo is allowed to interrupt whenever he wants to.

Carter: And the coo has been looking over the numbers, which is why I want to talk to rj about the lace you and eric ordered from paris.

Rj: That sounds really ominous.

Carter: Sounds like you not only inherited eric’s design talent, but his very expensive taste as well.

Rj: Well, come on, carter. I mean, you know that forrester creations only deserves the best.

Carter: That’s very true. If you haven’t noticed, this guy is very talented.

Luna: Yeah.

Deacon: Sheila, we’ve been through this before. I know that our relationship is gonna blow up people’s minds, but I want a life with you.

Sheila: I just– I know what your daughter means to you and how hard you’ve worked at a relationship with her, deacon. I don’t want you resenting me if she doesn’t see this– us the way that you do.

Deacon: Listen to me. Hope has the biggest heart of anyone I know. She’s seen how I’ve changed. You know, she’s given me another chance to be the father that i wasn’t when she was little. Yeah, she’s not gonna be happy, no doubt, and this is… this is gonna take some time, but I know that eventually, she’s gonna come around. She’s gonna see how much I love you, and with time, she’s gonna accept our relationship.

Hope: Clearly, there is something upsetting you, finn, so what is going on?

Finn: Yeah, you know what? I’m sorry. It’s– I’m really– I’m fine. It’s nothing.

Hope: Okay, well, what is nothing? Because clearly, it is something.

Finn: Yeah, I shouldn’t have brought it up.

Hope: Brought up what? Finn, please, just tell me. What is going on? 1 down, 9 to go.

Rj: Thank you for the vote of confidence, carter, seriously. I’m still learning a lot from my granddad, you know.

Carter: I’m sure you are, but I think we can all agree that you have a gift.

Rj: Well, I mean, we’ll still see if you believe that when I tell you that we’re gonna keep the lace, and that you’re gonna need to pay that invoice?

Carter: You know, your dad, your grandfather, you, you guys are all killing me.

Rj: I’m sorry.

Carter: All right, let’s go over this order. I need a confirmation. Sorry to pull him away.

Rj: No problem. I’ll be back, okay?

Luna: Mm-hmm.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: Do you really think that hope’s gonna be able to accept me? That it’s not just wishful thinking?

Deacon: No, ’cause I don’t make passing wishes on some random stars. You know what I do? I get things done. I go to work. We both do, and we’re gonna work for this. And I’ll tell you another thing. You and me, we’ve beat the odds before and we’re gonna do it this time.

Sheila: I just don’t want to come between you and your daughter.

Deacon: You won’T. I know you’re concerned, okay? You’ve got to trust me on this. When the time is right, I’m gonna tell hope. She trusts me, sheila.

Sheila: Yeah, well, yes, that’s my point.

Deacon: Listen, she loves me. She wants me to be happy. She’s gonna see how much I love you and she’s gonna see that we’re good for each other. And eventually, she’s gonna– she’s gonna accept that– that I made the right decision.

Sheila: God, I love you.

Hope: You know it’s a two-way street, right? I mean, you’ve been a good friend to me, but you can also talk to me about anything.

Finn: Yeah, no, I know. I just– you know, I hate that you’ve been hurt so much, hope, and you deserve to be happy.

Hope: Oh, oh, okay, sure, yeah, so you decided to come all the way here to make sure that I’m happy?

Finn: Yeah, I just wanted to check in on you after our conversation about thomas.

Hope: Mm, right. Yeah, you’re a bad liar. But that’s not– that’s– that is a good thing.

Finn: Look, I think you should talk to your dad.

Hope: My dad?

Finn: Yeah. Maybe pay him a visit.

Hope: So, that’s it? That’s all you’re going to tell me?

Finn: Go talk to your father, hope.

[ Phone chiming ]

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Ringing continues ]

Luna: Hey, mom.

Poppy: Why haven’t you been answering my calls?

Luna: Oh, I– I’m sorry. I must have not heard my phone.

Poppy: Luna, I love you. I’m your mother and as your mother, I can tell when you’re avoiding me.

Luna: Mom, please, I’m busy. I’m working.

Poppy: At forrester.

Luna: Yes, mom. And, you know, it’s actually been going so well. I’m–

Poppy: Luna. You can’t be there. This has to end today. Remember the things you loved…

Luna: You make working at forrester sound like it’s such a bad thing. Mom, I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing everything is. I mean, the energy of this place… the dresses are so beautiful and I get to see them before they even go in the stores.

Poppy: Listen to yourself. This can’t happen and you know why. You’ll never make anything of yourself there.

Luna: No, you’re wrong, mom. I’ve actually been working with mr. Eric forrester himself and his grandson, rj.

Poppy: Luna, it is only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down. Baby, I’m just trying to protect you.

Luna: You don’t need to protect me. I’m fine, mom. And I’m so happy here, you have no idea.

Poppy: I never wanted you to go to los angeles at all, I mean, let alone end up at forrester creations.

Luna: Mom, please, this has always been my dream.

Poppy: Your dreams are gonna turn into nightmares and you know it. Please, luna. Your aunt li will never allow it.

Finn: The occupational therapist should be finishing her rounds soon and when she does, we’ll discuss a discharge plan. Okay. Thank you. Mom… what are you doing here?

Li: Uh, I came to talk to ridge about steffy and the kids, why they’ve been gone for so long. I thought maybe he can convince her since you haven’t had any luck. But what are you doing here?

Finn: I needed to talk to hope.

Li: Hope? Why?

Finn: I’m concerned about her.

Sheila: I don’t know. I just think we might be expecting too much too soon. We already told finn, and now you want to tell hope?

Deacon: Well yeah, but I mean, I reached out to finn on your behalf. I thought you’d like that. I mean, I thought we’d tell him together, and–

Sheila: I know, and I so appreciate that you would want to do that for me, but I thought we were gonna keep our relationship under wraps for a while.

Deacon: Sheila, we’re engaged. I mean, you know, people are gonna find out. We’re gonna have to tell ’em. I mean, unless, of course, you, you know, wanna live in the bathroom for the rest of your life.

Sheila: Only if you’re in there with me.

Deacon: I want you to listen to me. I believe in your redemption and I’m determined to get everyone else to realize it.

Sheila: Okay, these few days have just been shocking to me, but what really amazes me is– is the faith that you have in me. It just, it floors me. I don’t know what I did to deserve it, or you, but i promise you, I will never take it for granted.

[ Knocking at door ]

Hope: Dad, are you home?

Deacon: Wait a sec. Wait. Where are you going?

Sheila: I’m gonna go hide in the bathroom.

Deacon: No, not today.

[ Knocking ]

Hope: Dad.

Deacon: Listen to me. We’ll keep the engagement a secret for the time being. This is happening. Hope’s gonna find out about us, right here, right now.

[ Knocking ]

Sheila: What? Who says you can’t go for bold

Rj: Hey, I’m sorry. That took way longer than I expected, but that lace, it is– it is exactly what my granddad wants. It’s, uh– it’s handmade and… what going on?

Luna: Nothing.

Rj: No, you’re upset. What’s wrong?

Luna: Um, I had a call from my mom.

Rj: Is– is she okay? You know, you can just talk to me and I’ll just listen, okay? If– if you want me to help you, I’ll help you.

Luna: Um, my mom’s, uh, always been kind of, like, a free spirit, an artist, and she had me when she was really young, so it’s always just been the two of us. We sort of raised each other, kind of. She didn’t want me to come to los angeles, but I’ve always dreamed of being in fashion.

Rj: Well, you’re doing it. You’re here. Look at you. And you’re doing great!

Luna: Yeah, I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna be here.

Rj: Don’t you want to stay?

Luna: Yeah, more than anything.

Rj: That’s– that’s good. You know, ’cause I, um– I talked to my dad and– and my granddad the other day, and, you know, we really think you have, um, a bright future at forrester, you know?

Luna: You do?

Rj: Yeah, yeah, you know? You can tell when someone just clicks.

Luna: With the company?

Rj: Yeah, and in other ways. Look, you’ve been, um– you’ve been keeping this secret about my granddad and you know, I know you won’t tell anybody and–

Luna: Of course not.

Rj: Well, that means a lot to me, that I can trust you. You– you have no idea. You know, and it means a lot to the company, of course, but… luna, just stop thinking that this is gonna come to an end. It’s not. And I don’t want you going anywhere.

Li: You’re worried about hope?

Finn: Yeah, she’s got a lot going on in her life right now.

[ Li scoffing ]

Li: You know the history between steffy and hope, right? Do you want to risk doing something else to push your wife away?

Rj: See, now I’m holding you and now you can’t go anywhere.

Luna: Thank you, rj. You have no idea how good you are for me.

Rj: Luna, I feel the same exact way about you.

Luna: You do?

Rj: Yeah, yes, I do. I mean, come on, what guy wouldn’t want a super pretty, you know, international spy/princess in his life, obviously?

Luna: Um, I think you might be a little disappointed when you find out it’s just me.

Rj: Disappointed? In the mystery of luna? There’s not a chance.

[ Phone chiming ] Oh, shoot. Oh. There’s a problem on the loading dock again. I gotta go talk charlie off the ledge.

Luna: Okay, go! Thank you.

[ Luna sighing ]

Li: Luna? What are you doing here?

Hope: Dad, can I come in?

Deacon: Yeah, just a second, honey! Do you trust me?

Sheila: Deacon–

Deacon: Do you trust me?

Sheila: Yes, I trust you.

Deacon: Okay, give me a minute. Go on. Coming. Hey, this is a nice surprise. Come on in.

Hope: Hi, sorry I didn’t call early, but, um, finn just stopped by the office and he was being very cryptic and suggested that I come and see you, so here I am. So, what is going on, dad? Are you in some kind of trouble?

Deacon: No, no, honey, I’m– I’m fine. I’m– I’m better than fine. Hope, I’m in love.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: You’re– you’re in love? I mean, dad, you haven’t even told me that you were seeing someone.

Deacon: I know. I know. We’ve, uh– we’ve been keeping it on the down low.

Hope: Why?

Deacon: Because, you know, some people might not understand it or accept it, including you. And I need you to keep an open mind here, okay? To trust me. You know that I would never do anything to endanger you or your mother, or anyone.

Hope: Endanger us? What are you– who are you in love with?

Sheila: Hello, hope.

Deacon: Sheila and I are in love.

Hope: You and… you and sheila? No.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, well, what are you so pleased about? Check this out. A warrant out for Vivian Allemane? Mm hmm. They got that psycho on possession of a deadly weapon and parole violation. Oh, that is great news. Now, if Vivian goes to jail, Maggie gets her house back. Oh, you haven’t heard. Victor actually had a new will.

Maggie tossed old Viv out the door yesterday. That is even better news. Yes. Yes. It is for Maggie, of course. And also, I cannot wait to ditch that rock hard mattress at the Salem Inn for good. Assuming that Maggie is still okay with Justin and me moving back in.

Come on, Maggie. Oh, Justin, how are you? Hanging in there. Hanging in there. Well, what can I do for you? Well, I was wondering, um, actually, Bonnie was wondering, now that Vivian is out of the picture, whether you might welcome us back into the family fold. Oh, Justin, of course. I mean, I’ve been so distracted.

Otherwise, I would have called you myself and urged you to come back. Especially since, uh, I’m gonna be glad for the company. You know, I’m gonna be spending more time at home now than I anticipated. What do you mean?

Wait, you’re out at Titan? What happened? Eh, you know, call it karma. Maybe taking too much pleasure in kicking Vivian to the curb. Because Alex did the same to me.

Vivian, I just got back to town and Chad told me all about your plans for Titan and I want absolutely nothing to do with them, so I am here in person to tell you that I quit.

Kate. Hey, may I come in? Yeah, of course. Draw me flowers? Um, actually those are flowers that you sent me to congratulate me on the birth of my grandchild, but I thought I would give them back and let you and Stephanie enjoy them. Oh, you didn’t like them? I think they’re beautiful, it just turns out that…

Victoria wasn’t really my grandchild.

Oh, hi, sweetie. I’m sorry that I had to get off the phone so quickly, but Kate was in quite a state. Well, she just found out that Philip is going to New York with Chloe. Yeah, well, she’s concerned, you can well imagine. No, I did try to talk her down, I’m just not sure how effective I was. Thanks. Say, speaking of offspring, is there any word from Brady since he left for California?

Welcome to Global Airlines. You only travel in style. Theresa, would you hurry up, please?

Pull your jets, I’m coming already, jeez. Hey, we’re in L. A. for two days. I mean, why would anybody need this much luggage? I don’t get it. Anyone? I’m not just anyone. I’m Teresa Donovan.

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

So, Victor did have a new will. Thank God. Oh, thank God. Thanks to the lawyers. Thank Judge Judy, whoever. Maggie gets to keep her house and her inheritance. Wow, that must have been a relief for the whole family. It was, um, although it came at a price. What’s that? It cost Justin his son.

Alex, what are you doing here? Well, according to the nameplate, this is my office. Your office? I guess you haven’t heard. I’m the new CEO of Titan. But don’t you work at Basic Black? And what about Vivian? Well, as it turns out, Uncle Vi Turns out Victor did have a will. He left half of everything to Maggie and half to me.

To you? And what about the rest of your family? I mean, I know Victor was your great uncle and he loved you, but… He wasn’t my great uncle. What?

Victor Kiriakis was my father.

I will talk to Alex. Justin, don’t. This isn’t right. He fired you? Oh, not exactly. Alex and I had a misunderstanding. You see, I just assumed that I would stay on as CEO, since Victor passed him over and gave me the job in the first place. Well, he didn’t see it that way because in his eyes, since Victor gave him controlling interest of the company, that meant he would get the top job.

That wasn’t Victor’s intent. If it was, he would have put it in writing. Oh, well, you know, it doesn’t matter. What do you mean it doesn’t matter? Alex told me the board was on his side. And even if they put it to a vote, that they would select him. He threatened you with a board vote. Well, it wasn’t really a threat.

He offered to let me stay on in a supporting role. But, you know, I decided I would just bow out gracefully. I’m so sorry, Maggie. Are you sure there’s nothing I can do? No, but thank you. Damn! I can’t believe Alex would do this. And I’m even more appalled that Victor would do this. Did you? To me, to all of us.

Should we, uh, get you a motorized cart? Maybe a Sherpa or something? I’m dying at first. I’m just looking for a place to get a coffee. Theresa, we’re on a three and a half hour flight. I think you ran the flight attendant about ten times. Do you still need some coffee? No, I think it was those salty pretzels or something.

Why are you in such a hurry anyway? I want to get home. That’s all. Uh, what about waiting for our son? I don’t know what’s keeping him because he just had a bag in the overhead bin, so I don’t know where he is. Sorry, I was, uh, talking to the flight attendant. You know, the blonde one? Kept offering us snacks.

Yeah, yeah, what were you trying to do, get her number, Tate? No, no, we were just talking, but she, she happens to be from Salem, so I was asking her what kind of fun things there are to do around here. Mm hmm, and then you got her number, right? Can you not? Can you not do this right now?

He gets it from you. Please proceed

to Sarah let Rex think the baby was his when she knew it was Anders all along? No, no, no. He knew from the start and he just gallantly volunteered to put his name on the birth certificate to protect Sarah and the baby. Okay, but did he have to marry her? No, of course he didn’t have to marry her. He wanted to.

He still has feelings for her? Well, clearly. Although he denies that’s the reason he made the grand gesture.

Okay, well, um, the truth is out. So now what? I don’t know. Now I am stuck with the daughter in law, I can’t stand, and Rex is in Xander Cook’s crosshairs. I’m sorry. That sounds messy. Yeah. Except now I know why Rex was keeping me at arm’s length. He just didn’t want me to get too close to a grandchild that wasn’t mine.

My God. All these years. All these years. How could Victor do that? How could he let Justin believe that Alex was his son? That is the burning question. I mean, come on, I get the whole truth will set you free thing and all, but it just would have been a whole hell of a lot easier if Victor had just taken the secret to his grave.

How’s Justin taking it? About how you’d expect. I think that Victor knew you would be a good father to Alex. A better father than he was capable of being. I certainly tried, but all of this would have been so much easier if the truth had come out 30 years ago. I know. I can’t even tell you, explain how this feels.

I mean, everything I thought I knew about my family, my relationship with Victor. My son? And why do it like this? After keeping it secret all these years? It just seems that spending time at Beau’s bedside changed Victor’s thinking. But all we have to go on is what he wrote in the new will. I mean, he left us so many questions.

Questions that we will never get the answers

to. Victor was your father? Yeah.

So, Justin is your… Cousin. And Sonny is not really my brother. Oh, Alex, of course he is. I mean, Vic and Joe are adopted. Did you ever think that they weren’t your real brothers? Yeah, but this is different. It doesn’t have to be. It does, though.

You know, Steph, I keep going over every single interaction I had with Uncle Vic. With my father. And I never would have guessed this in a million years.

So his will said that he wanted you to be CEO instead of Maggie? Not exactly. And that’s been a point of contention right now. Maggie said that if he wanted to put me in this position, then he would have done it while he was alive. Do you think that’s true? I don’t know.

I may never understand why he didn’t tell me. Why he waited until now to reveal the truth.

Maybe he thought all the money and the controlling interests of Titan would make up for all the lost years. Does it?

Sorry, stupid question. How, I, I can’t.

Nothing can make up for the fact that he lied to me. My whole

life. Jade. You’re 16 years old. So what? So what? That flight attendant was probably twice your age. There are, uh, laws, you know, covering this kind of stuff. Relax, okay? We just talked. And when I asked for her contact info, she shot me down. Extreme prejudice, I might add. Oh. Well, at least somebody’s thinking clearly.

I think you need to worry a little bit less about hitting on older women and maybe a little bit more on your future. Here we go. Yeah, yeah, here we go. Because I didn’t just bring you back to Salem for kicks, buddy. Okay, just because I got booted out of boarding school for bogus reasons. Bogus reasons? You, you, you pulled the fire alarm during exams.

Like I already explained, I didn’t think the alarm was going to cause all the sprinklers to go off and cause all that damage. No, you didn’t think at all. Well, that was good. Dad, that was serious. Did you, did you learn how to do that at the University of Fatherhood? The University of Fatherhood? Are you serious?

What is he talking about? We don’t need to go over this again, Brady. I think we do. Yeah. Obviously we do. Yeah, maybe we should go over it. Maybe we should go over some of the pranks that you pulled back in the day. Like, uh, kidnapping a goat and, uh, letting it loose in the halls. Well, from what I hear, your father wasn’t really much fun in school.

That’s wrong. I was a lot of fun in high school. And that goat, by the way, didn’t cause 50K in damage. I mean, they do eat a lot. Tate, the bottom line, this is not funny, alright? You did something really bad, you gotta pay for it. Aren’t you rich? I mean, not as rich as you were before you got kicked out of Great Grandad’s will, but still.

I’m not paying for this, buddy. You are. With what money, Dad? I’m 16, remember? Well, you’re gonna do a little something they call get a job. A job? Yeah, you’ve heard of them. Yeah, it’s a job. It’s like you do a task and people pay you for it. They give you a paycheck. Okay, he’s just a kid. He doesn’t have skills to…

He’s gonna learn. And I think I know exactly where he’s gonna do that.

So, I don’t care if Rex thinks I’m an overbearing and interfering mother. Ew. Never. Okay. The point is, I am not going to let Sarah Horton break his heart. Yeah, even if he did break hers first. I think you should stay out of it. Oh, that’s so funny. I don’t remember asking you for advice. I don’t care if you’re asking for it.

I’m giving it. You’re gonna make things worse. Who says? Says me. Someone who’s been through something very similar recently. What have I done to you recently? Surprisingly, nothing. Steven Kaler. Don’t tell me they don’t approve of you and Stephanie. Oh, quite the opposite. They cannot wait for us to get married.

What? Did they say that? Yeah, we were getting together for dinner and I walked in on Stephanie telling her mom, um, Of course I want to marry him. Do they know that you overheard that? Yeah. Yes, you know, she backtracked a bit and put it on her mom, and then Steve came in and basically asked what my intentions were.

Oh, thank God. That’s a lot of pressure. And, and, you know, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know how to feel about it all because we haven’t been together that long. Okay, so this marriage idea, do you think that was Stephanie’s or Kayla and Steve’s? I don’t know. I don’t know. Did you talk about it? We danced around it a bit, and then, and then she had to go out of town for business.

Okay, so then it is possible she was just humoring her mom to keep her mom off her back. Yeah, I guess so. Okay, so let’s, let’s just forget about what Stephanie wants for a minute. Who do you want? Me. Mm hmm. You? Do you want to marry her?

I thought Vivian kicking us out of the house would be the worst thing that would happen after Victor’s death.

I know this is a shock and all, but… There may be some perks to the situation. You mean the job? The job. The money. The power. These are all things you’ve wanted, right? Sure. But not like this.

So I guess we’re not gonna be neighbors anymore. Why do you moving back into the mansion? Uh. I’m on the fence. Not really sure it would be all that fun for Maggie and I right now to… together. And if my dad and if Justin and Bonnie decide to move back into the house, that would be a little awkward, too.

Why? He’s still your dad, Alex. You two still love each other. Yeah. Well, I just don’t think I’d really be ready to live under the same roof with him right now.

Plus, if I move out of the apartment, I wouldn’t be able to use your shower anymore when mine craps off. I know you’d miss the hell out of that. Oh, desperately. Steph, if you still want to quit working for Titan, I totally understand. I don’t want to quit. Are you sure? We figured out our stuff. We’re friends, right?

I’d like to think so.

Alex, I’m really sorry you’re going through all of this.

I know that it hurts. You don’t have to act tough with me.

Thank you. But I’m not really feeling that tough right now.

Has Alex mentioned whether he wants to move back in? Not yet. I get the sense that he likes where he’s living now. To be honest, if Bonnie didn’t hate the Salem Inn, I’m not sure I’d be rushing to come back here either. Brings up a lot of complicated emotions, I’m sure. But, Justin, this is your family home.

Victor loved you. He would have wanted you here. And Alex is still your son, Justin. Nothing will ever change that.

Well, please, tell Justin that I’m thinking of him. And, and if there’s anything that Steve and I can do… Oh, thank you. I wish there were. But, the damage is already done.

God, look at Victor, still stirring the pot from beyond the grave. You can say that again. How’s Alex handling it? Well, he said all the right things to Justin, you know. That he’d always be his dad, etc, etc. But, knowing him, now that he’s the heir to the great Victor Kariakis, well… I’m afraid it might go to his head.

I imagine you’re right, , and now he’s a very rich, very eligible bachelor. I mean, not that he wasn’t already a hot commodity, didn’t judging by all the action he was getting, but now every single woman in town is gonna want to get their hooks in there. Know what I mean?

Oh,

I wish I was as sure as you, Maggie. That nothing will change between me and Alex. Justin, do you know the story of Mickey and our son, Mike? Oh, yeah. I’ve heard it. Yeah, I’ve heard about it. Well, let me refresh your memory. Many years ago, Mickey’s first wife, Laura, had an affair with his brother, Bill. Mickey wasn’t physically able to be a father.

So, when Laura became pregnant… Everyone knew it was Bill’s child. Everyone, except Mickey. Mickey raised Mike as his own for years. And then finally when the truth came out, it was difficult and was painful at first. But you know in the end… Nothing mattered. I mean, Mike, it was still and always was his son.

Biology, it didn’t matter. Go on, Iota. And it’s not going to matter with you, Justin. Because what matters is that you’ve raised Alex to be a fine young man. Some of the time. Justin, I understand that this feels… Like a, a, a terrible loss. Now trust me, you’re gonna get through it. I promise.

Let’s see if your Uncle Willem is around. Tate? Is that you? Hey Aunt Kayla, it’s good to see you. Oh my god, wow. It’s been so long. Are you on a break from school? Kinda. He was asked to leave. It was a mutual decision. He was kicked out. Thanks. Dad, do you want to post it on all your social media? I mean, I’m sure every stranger in this town would love to know.

Uh, Bonnie, Bonnie, do you know, uh, Brady’s son, Tate? Bonnie, Lockhart Kiriakis. I mean, father’s cousins. Um, we’re related. I think. Anyway, welcome back to Sam! Thanks. Just to make sure that you know, I got kicked out of school. Yeah, I heard.

Uh, and, and, uh, and this is, uh, my niece, Theresa, uh, Kimberly’s daughter, if you forgot. Hello, Bonnie. Hello. Theresa, always good to meet another Brady. So, as we’re roaming around, I wanted to talk to him about this one getting a job here. Ah, joining the family business, huh? Yeah, yeah, it’s news to me. Well, he caused a little damage at school before he left, so it’s time that he pays for it.

What am I even going to do around here? Wait tables or something? No, you’re not going to wait tables. You have to be 18 to wait tables, so you’re probably going to bust tables or you’re going to wash dishes. Wash dishes? Anything. That Roman says you’re going to do, you’re going to do. Well, I mean, at least you won’t be scaling the fish like I had to do when I was your age.

Is this really necessary? He’s going to be working till he’s 90 at the rate that Roman pays him. But he will work till he’s 90. Come on, he just moved to a new school in a new town. He can multitask, Teresa. Uh, well, you know, Roman actually is out. Okay, then I will text him. Can I at least get some lunch while we’re waiting?

Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Grab a menu. I should go. Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie, wait up. I did want to talk to you. It’s been on my mind and I’ve been a little distracted with what’s been going on lately. So, my grandfather’s briefcase. What was in it? The one the ISA recovered from the wreckage. Oh, uh…

As it turns out, uh, Victor did write a new will just before he died. To replace the one that he destroyed. Mm hmm. Um, okay. Is that it? For starters, uh, Vivian Alamein got exactly what she deserved. Absolutely nothing. Good. That is good news. Uh, and then, um, he, he left half of everything to Maggie. Even better.

So, so does that mean that the other half goes to the, uh, to the rest of the family? No. The other half went to the son no one knew he had.

Alex Kyriakis.

Sure, I’ll answer some questions. Yes, I am the

new CEO of Titan.

Yes, it turns out I am Victor’s son.

How do I feel about it?

No comment.

I mean, honestly, I, I, I never, I never really thought about marriage until I overheard them talking about it. Really? You’re living together, she’s helping you raise your children, right? Oh, now you’re starting to sound like Caleb. Oh, no. Don’t. Please, I am sorry, because I don’t want you to think that I’m trying to pressure you at all.

Okay? Especially because I know what a big step that was for you to think about getting serious about Stephanie in the first place. Yes, it was a, it was a huge step. And honestly, it’s still kind of strange living with somebody who isn’t Abby. And she’s only been gone for 16 months, and I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life with that woman.

I know. I’m sorry. I really am. You have to take all the time you need.

Oh, hi. Hey. Am I interrupting something? Hey, welcome home.

Hey, thanks. Good to be home. Hi, Kate. Hey, Stephanie. And of course you’re not interrupting. Oh, never. Did you see these flowers? These beautiful flowers that Chad got for you? Ooh, beautiful. Anyway, I should be going. You… You have a great day. Hey. Bye. Thanks, Kate. Goodbye. Um, the flowers are amazing. What’s the occasion?

Okay, I gotta, um, I have to confess, actually, um, I bought them for Kate. But they’re yours now. I’m not offended by secondhand flowers.

I missed you like crazy. Same. You got my text? Yeah, did you uh, tell me when you quit? I stopped by Titan, but it didn’t exactly go as planned.

Thank you, Maggie, for that perspective. I’d forgotten that you lived through a similar experience. It wasn’t perfect, but in the end, Mickey and Mike… Well, it was a beautiful love story. And they were father and son in every way that counted. Just like you and Alex. But I know why you’re not sure about moving back in here.

It’s not that I don’t appreciate your offer. I know. But right now this family is hurting. Which means it’s so important. That we rally together. Please?

Oh, uh, hold on. Alex is Grandad’s son? Wait, wait, so does that change who he was to me? No. No, no, Tate. You’re, you’re good. See, um, Brady’s your dad. And his mother was, um, Somebody needs to make a family tree. You know? Oh, now I really gotta go. Okay. Uh, pleasure to meet y’all, alright? Listen, love to Justin, okay?

Thank you, honey. Okay. Love you. Bye. Gotta go. Kayla, I just need to get this straight in my head. My grandfather announced in his will that, that Alex was his son? No, no, but there was to Victor.

A letter? What kind of letter?

Oh!

Wow, I thought that that briefcase was going to have, like… On the net for prison students. Anyway, it seems like there’s a lot going on around here. Maybe we should focus on this whole job thing later. Yeah, yeah, nice try. Do you think that uh, Aunt Maggie is going to share her new fortune with the rest of the family?

You pay for the sprinklers. Nah, again, that’s a really nice try. Mom, can you talk to dad about this whole dishwashing thing? Um, you know, actually, uh, there’s something that I have to take care of myself. Seriously? You’re leaving? Right now? Yeah, but you, you should wait here for, for Uncle Roman. You don’t need to stick around, do you?

No, we’ll be, we’ll be fine. Oh, really? I assume that Tate will be staying with you at John and Marlene’s while I figure out my living situation. Theresa, I gotta run and buy them first, obviously. Bye, love you, love you. Bye, love you. Yeah, thanks, alright. Did she say her living situation? Like she’s staying in Salem?

Shh. We hadn’t really discussed it. Right. Well, Stephanie told me that Theresa did mention it. And, I mean, now that I’m here, why, why would she leave? I mean, like, where else would she want to be?

So I get to eat here for free, right? Like, whenever I want? No. Not exactly, no. So I have to scrub dishes AND pay? Hey, listen. Listen. This is not the way that I would have chosen for you to come live with me, alright? But I want you to understand something. I am actually very happy to see you, and I’m glad you’re here, buddy.

And, and, and Rachel, my god, she’s still looking forward to seeing her big bro. I, I can, I can drive you there. Let’s go. How’s she doing? Thanks for asking. I’ll tell you, I don’t really know how she’s doing because I don’t see a lot of her since Kristen got custody. So, I’m her way in, huh? No. Tate, no. No, no.

It’s cool. It’s cool. We don’t have a house. Really? Where are you going? Where are you going? I haven’t, I haven’t been to Salem in forever. I thought I’d, I don’t know, take a walk around the neighborhood. Unless I’m on lockdown or something. No, you’re not on lockdown. It’s fine. I just, I would like for you to see your Uncle Roman so we can talk to him about this.

You can just text him. You can just text him. I’m gonna go. I’ll see you later, though. Have a good night, Dad. Yeah. See you in a bit. Whoa, that was fast. Oh, yeah, I had the bags in my car. We all knew Maggie would see us. Home sweet home. Yeah. You know, um, I was thinking that, uh, Well, I was hoping that maybe Alex might move back in.

I mean, now that the house is 50 percent his, I’m sure he’d be a little uncomfortable. Yeah. Considering he just ousted Maggie to take over as CEO of Titan. What? Mm hmm. Oh, no, he didn’t. Oh, no. Yes, he did. Yeah, I thought maybe he might get a little big for his bitches. I just had no idea it would happen this fast.

Yeah, let’s just hope that he gets over himself soon, before anyone

else gets hurt. Hello, Alex. Teresa, you’re back. How’s Tate? He’s okay. With his dad. You know, the guy who humiliated me in Greece, if not for you, who welcomed me with open arms, would have made my trip a total disaster. Well, I’m glad I could be of service.

Speaking of Greece, I, um, heard what happened, you know, with your great uncle’s will. It’s wild, right? I mean… Look at me. Yeah, right, I know, look at you.

And obviously I had no idea that that bombshell was in that briefcase that my dad gave me. You must be, you must be so overwhelmed. Yeah, a little bit. Are you taking care of yourself? Are you eating? Are you sleeping? Are you having fun? I’m doing my best. I don’t believe you.

I will tell you what. I’m free for dinner tonight. And I have been told that I give really good fun.

What do you say? So Alex is Victor’s son? Apparently.

I’m surprised Kate didn’t say anything. She may not know yet. Yeah, she probably got too much going on with her own son to worry about Victor’s. So, is he running Titan again? Yep. You gonna report to him? Yep.

Hey, listen, I know, um, the other night there was some weirdness. Yeah, look, about that. Like, like I said, my mom was pressuring me to tell her how serious we were. All he was saying when he walked in was that I could see myself getting married to you. Someday. It’s not like I was dropping a hint that I wanted to get married to you now.

I mean, good. But I, I, I… I don’t think we need to rush anything. I mean, I like the way things are. Don’t you? Absolutely.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nate: How does it feel to be back here?

Mamie: A lot of memories. Some of them, I will always cherish. Others… but today, we are here to celebrate.

Traci: Mamie! Oh, mamie. Hi. Hi, nate. I am so glad that you could be here today.

Mamie: So am I. Our jackie certainly looks happy.

Traci: Yes, he does. I think he has finally found what he’s been searching for.

Mamie: Well, if that’s true, then it is indeed a glorious day.

Jack: Could I have your attention, please?

Traci: Oh, excuse me.

Jack: Diane and I would like to thank you all for coming to this celebration of our recent marriage, but before the festivities really begin, we’d like to do something a little special, uh, with the help of our son. I love this woman so much, I wanna marry her all over again. Right here, right now, with all of you as witnesses.

Abby: Oh, yay!

[ Attendees clapping ]

Nikki: Oh, how fun.

[ Attendees clapping ]

Tucker: Hey.

Audra: You want me to, uh, reignite the fire with kyle? And then what? You can’t just send me a text like that without some explanation.

Tucker: I didn’t think I would need to provide detailed instructions on how to go about it.

Audra: I’m more curious about the why part.

Tucker: Just trust me.

Audra: Okay, that’s gonna be a little difficult without more intel, okay? And wherever this is going, I’m not sure I like it.

Tucker: You seemed to be liking it quite a bit when I walked in on the two of you a while back.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Tucker: How hard could it be to recapture that? And why wouldn’t you want to?

Audra: Okay, let’s forget for a second what would be in it for me because I know you couldn’t care less. What’s in it for you?

Jack: You ready?

Kyle: Oh, I’m a licensed professional of the internet variety. Are you ready?

Jack: You bet.

Diane: All right. Let’s do this.

Kyle: All right. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of god and all of our family and friends and any wedding crashers to celebrate this couple, my parents, as they renew their vows. That’s your queue.

Jack: Oh. I feel so lucky, so blessed that we found our way back to each other. I never thought I could feel this kind of joy again. And it’s all because of you. I thank god for it every day. For you, for the way you love me. I promise to always be worthy of that love. I promise to be your partner in all things. Your friend, your confidant, your home. With all my heart, I love you. Now and always.

Diane: Jack, you are such a– a kind, patient, compassionate man. You’ve changed my life. I’m grateful every day for how much you love me and you don’t just– you don’t just say the words. You– you show me what it means to be a true partner in– in everything you do. So, I promise before god and everyone here that I will always be there for you. To love and support you, to– to comfort you. To fight for you. To be your home. Every day, every moment. As long as you will have me.

Kyle: You know, I– I can’t think of a better place for you to be making this commitment to each other. I mean, it’s our family home. A place that holds so many memories, so much love. So dad, do you take this woman to be your wife? Do you promise to love her and cherish her, and protect her, and stand by her side, no matter what life throws at you, from this day forward?

Jack: I do.

Kyle: And mom, do you take this man to be your husband? Do you promise to love him and cherish him, and protect him, and stand by his side, no matter what life throws at you, from this day forward?

Diane: I do.

Kyle: Well then. By the power vested in me and the internet, and the state of wisconsin, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the groom and vice versa.

[ Attendees cheering ]

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Audra: I’m guessing you want me to reconnect with kyle so I can use him. You expect me to manipulate him into doing something that benefits you.

Tucker: Not just me, us. We have a common goal, remember? Just do what I ask, we’ll all benefit.

Audra: I don’t like taking orders about my personal life.

Tucker: I’m not giving you orders. I’m encouraging you to follow your bliss.

Audra: Oh, my bliss? Yeah. Where does that lead me? Us?

Tucker: You know the plan.

Audra: Kyle was never part of the plan.

Tucker: Maybe kyle was always part of my plan.

Audra: Oh my god, this is infuriating.

Tucker: All shall be revealed in good time, my dear. Meanwhile, you help move things along. Have a little fun in the process. Hey, you keep your eye on the prize, jabot. We’re gonna take over that company and you are gonna step in and you are gonna run it. And I’m gonna be on the sidelines. I’m gonna cheer you on. I’m gonna advise you. Kyle, he’s just a tool, man. Don’t worry about kyle. He’s a means to an end. Unless of course, he means more to you than you let on.

Audra: It’s not kyle I’m worried about.

Tucker: What then?

Audra: You know this, it’s all starting to feel like a desperate act than a plan B. Which makes it all seem less and less likely you can actually pull this off.

Jack: Thank you, sharon.

Sharon: Congratulations.

Traci: Well, you look ridiculously happy.

Jack: I think I am ridiculously happy.

Traci: Congratulations.

Diane: Aw, thank you, traci.

Nikki: That’s traci abbott, jack’s sister.

Claire: The author.

Nikki: Mm-hmm.

Claire: She’s a fantastic writer.

Nikki: And an even better human being.

Mamie: Jack, what a wonderful surprise. An impromptu wedding?

Jack: Made all the more lovely by you being here.

Mamie: Why, you look quite dashing. Almost as handsome as his father.

Diane: Oh, I have to disagree. I think my husband is the most handsome man in the world.

Mamie: Oh, I can see that. And you, I can see that same twinkle in your eye that you used to have when you had to have things your way.

Jack: I can’t help it, mamie. I am on top of the world.

Mamie: May you both be as happy as you are now all the days that you’re together.

Nikki: That’s mamie johnson. She worked for the abbotts for years and became an integral part of the family. She recently acquired a stake in chancellor-winters, but not a lot of people were happy with that.

Nate: Jack, diane. Congratulations.

Jack: Thank you, nate.

Nate: I am honored to have been a part of this special occasion.

Diane: Oh, we’re happy you’re here.

Nikki: Nate hastings, son of mamie’s niece, olivia. He is currently the coo of newman enterprises.

Devon: Jack. Congratulations to both of you. If I’d have known there’s gonna be a wedding, I’d have come better prepared.

Jack: Well, that’s why we made it impromptu.

Diane: Yes, we wanted it to be simply about us and our happiness, and share it with all of you.

Devon: Oh, thank you.

Nikki: Devon winters, the winters half of chancellor-winters.

Nate: Jack is clearly thrilled you’re here today. After all, you were a surrogate mother to him and his sisters growing up.

Mamie: Well, it was hard on them when dina left.

Nate: Then you have us, your other family, all in the same place. How does that feel?

Mamie: Like I’ve been blessed with a really rich and fulfilling life and with the capacity to hold all of that love in my heart. I’m not feeling any tension, if that’s what you’re asking.

Nate: Maybe not about your personal relationship to those in attendance.

Mamie: I was wondering when you were gonna get around to asking me about my investment in chancellor-winters.

Nate: What is really going on with that?

Abby: This was such a beautiful idea. Congratulations, you guys.

Jack: Thank you. Thank you.

Diane: And thank you for being so supportive of our relationship, even though I know it puts you in a difficult position with your mother.

Abby: You make him happy. And that’s what I want, for both of you. I’m just sad that this whole blow-up between my mom and tucker kept her from being here.

Diane: Yeah, I’m happy things are better between jack and ashley, but I really doubt she would have come back to celebrate the two of us getting married. I think– I think the best I can hope for with her is that she’ll tolerate me.

Abby: Well, I hope that she proves you wrong, that she’s capable of more.

Jack: I hope so too.

Summer: Thank you.

Kyle: Okay. Hey, I just checked on harrison. His fever’s down, but he’s out like a light.

Summer: He was so excited about today. Poor thing. I mean, the tears when he realized that he was sick. Sleep is the best thing for him right now.

Kyle: Agreed. Well, this is going well.

Summer: Yeah, you are really getting the hang of this whole marrying people thing. I think it could turn into a solid side hustle for you.

Kyle: Yeah. The moonlighting minister. I’ll keep that in my back pocket. But it was nice to be involved in that way.

Summer: Yeah. They seem really happy, in love.

Kyle: They do.

Summer: Ah, I’ll check on harrison in a bit.

Kyle: Okay. Hey, you look great.

Summer: Thanks. You do too. Wayfair has nice prices, so you can have nice things.

Summer: So, when do you officially start as chief of police?

Chance: Tomorrow’s my first day. They want me to do a presser with the mayor.

Summer: Oh, okay. You’re gonna be doing a lot of that from now on. The face of the G.C.P.D.

Chance: That’s the worst part. I hate all the publicity. I just want to do the job.

Summer: But you’re excited.

Chance: Yeah, I am. I am. I wouldn’t let myself believe that this would happen. Now, it’s here. So, reality’s kicking in.

Summer: Paul wanted you to step in because he knew that you would be great at it.

Chance: I just keep asking myself if this is the right job for me.

Summer: Are you serious right now? You have literally been chasing bad guys your entire life. You’re a natural leader.

Chance: Well, if being a leader means sitting behind a desk and not being out in the field, doing what I was trained to do, I don’t know, summer. I told myself I would never let this happen. It’s got me wondering, second-guessing myself.

Summer: Could I offer an unsolicited opinion?

Chance: You know what? After dumping all that on you, sure, why not?

Summer: Hey, that’s what friends are for.

Chance: Okay. So, I– I owe you one now.

Summer: That’s not how it works, but, okay. Uh, good to know.

Chance: What’s your opinion?

Summer: I kind of like the idea of you doing less of the actual chasing the bad guys. I really wouldn’t want anything to happen to my new friend.

Nikki: Chance chancellor, decorated soldier. Former government agent.

Claire: Wow.

Nikki: Yeah, he is a genuine hero. Never had any interest in the family business.

Claire: And his girlfriend?

Nikki: Oh, that’s not his girlfriend. That’s my granddaughter, summer. Kyle’s wife. Well, estranged wife. Sadly, they have filed for divorce.

Claire: Well, that’S… I’m sorry.

Nikki: Well, they’ve had their ups and downs, but I still think there’s hope for them. It– it just can’t be the end.

Claire: Why mrs. Newman, you sound like a romantic.

Abby: Things are good?

Sharon: Yeah. Yes. Um, things are falling into place with the new business.

Abby: And you and chance?

Sharon: Um, we’re having a lot of fun together. I– I’m– I’m really excited for him, you know, in his new job. He starts tomorrow as chief of police.

Abby: Yeah. Yeah, that’s a huge deal.

Chance: Yeah, I know.

Sharon: Um, will you excuse me?

Abby: Sure.

Chance: I do what I can.

Sharon: Hi, summer.

Summer: Hi.

Sharon: Oh, this is so much fun.

Nikki: Well, that was a lovely little ceremony. Victor sends his regrets.

Diane: Mm. I didn’t expect him to make an appearance. I’m kind of surprised you did.

Nikki: I need to get used to the fact that you and jack are together. I’ve accepted it.

Diane: Yes. Your friendship is very important to him.

Nikki: It is just as important to me. If you do anything to hurt jack, I will make your life a living hell. And there are many others who will help me.

Diane: Well, that goes without saying and I’d expect nothing less. You know, I’m happy that there are so many people who are so concerned about jack’s well-being, but you don’t need to worry, nikki, because what you fear is not going to happen.

Nikki: I hope that’s true, for jack’s sake and yours.

Tucker: I’m hurt by your lack of faith in me.

Audra: I haven’t lost faith in you. I’m just kind of losing faith in your plan. It has a feel of a losing proposition.

Tucker: Why? Because I had a minor setback? That was out of my hands. Adam defied daddy and didn’t destroy the evidence.

Audra: No. No, he gave it to the abbotts. I’d say that’s one gigantic fly in the ointment or wrench in the works.

Tucker: Ah, I’m not worried.

Audra: Not even a little bit? You know, the abbotts now have information about a singer on your payroll whose crimes were covered up until his tour was finished. That’s information that could bury you. Okay, now, it’s in the hands of the very people you’re going against.

Tucker: Let’s not forget, you and I are inextricably linked in this, right? My problem is your problem.

Audra: Which is why I don’t want to go in any deeper.

Tucker: Now, don’t go all cowardly on me.

Audra: I’m not being a coward. I’m being smart. It’s time to cut your losses, okay? Just admit that adam got the better of you and just make a deal with the abbotts. Which yes, it means you’re gonna have to give up this scheme and leave them alone. But it also means they’re gonna leave you alone and me, your inextricably linked partner. (Announcer) an important message for americans age 50 to 85.

Tucker: Are you turning down my offer to run jabot?

Audra: You don’t own jabot.

Tucker: Not yet. It’s just a matter of time.

Audra: So you keep saying.

Tucker: I’m gonna make it happen, but I don’t need it, you do. We both know you’re hanging on by a thread at newman. Hell, I’m surprised you’ve lasted this long given what nikki feels about you.

Audra: Maybe I’m just that good.

[ Tucker scoffing ]

Tucker: Don’t forget, it’s the newmans. It’s not a meritocracy.

Audra: And I am a survivor.

Tucker: But you need allies right now. You have none. Nate’s looking after himself now that victor’s back in control. Can we stop this game now? You’re gonna do what I ask you to do. You know why?

Audra: Why?

Tucker: Because you’re a survivor. Because helping me helps you. All right? Now that you’ve got that out of your system, you need to go get ready for a garden party.

Audra: At the abbotts.

Tucker: Yeah. Think about it, audra. You and kyle in that incredibly romantic setting. It gives me the warm and fuzzies. Absolutely magical.

Audra: And, uh, what even makes you think they’re gonna let me in?

Tucker: You’re just that good.

Audra: The place is gonna be crawling with security. They’re not gonna let me near the celebration.

Tucker: You’re telling me you’ve lost your sense of adventure too? Audra, you can do this. Huh? Kyle, oof. You want to do it. Stop wasting time and go knock kyle off his feet.

Jack: Thank you for coming through for us today.

Diane: Yes. What you said was lovely.

Kyle: I meant it. I was so happy and I was thrilled to officiate, especially since I missed your first wedding.

Diane: So, I saw you talking to summer earlier. Things looked pleasant. That’s good.

Kyle: Mom, that was us co-parenting. I was just updating her on harrison.

Diane: Well, it’s nice to see the two of you getting along.

Kyle: Don’t read too much into it.

Mamie: You know, it’s one thing for jill to be suspicious of me. And I’ll admit, I rather enjoy it. But I hope that you and lily don’t really feel that way.

Devon: No. No, not at all. We don’T. You just– it caught us by surprise to find out that you were the one that bought victor’s stake in the company because you’ve kept it such a secret from us.

Nate: I think it’s a good thing mamie has a stake. I mean, weren’t you the one talking about how you wanted chancellor-winters to be a family business?

Devon: I used to want that. Yeah.

Nate: I just don’t see why you have a problem with it. Is it because you wanted control of the situation?

Devon: No, I don’t have a problem with it at all, actually. I think it’s fantastic. And I think it’s great you’re gonna be in town more often. ‘Cause lily and I can spend time with you. And my son will get to know his aunt mamie.

Mamie: And that’s the most important part of all of this for me. Family.

Nate: That is something I think we can all agree on.

Mamie: I am determined. I’m gonna help you get past all of this animosity. I’m gonna make sure that the two of you and lily come back together again. You know, life is short and this has gone on long enough.

Nate: I agree. I’m not just accomplished.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Traci: Kyle, will you?

Kyle: Oh, sure, sure.

Traci: Thank you. Everyone, jack, diane. Thank you so much for this inspired surprise. And kyle, thank you too, honey. Well done. Um, you were talking earlier about this house and how much love it holds and it brought back so many amazing memories and many of them were made with so many of you that are here this afternoon. And some of them with those who are no longer with us. And I, um, felt mother and daddy here all afternoon with us, for this very beautiful occasion. So here’s to you both and your incredible love. May it fill this house to overflowing. Cheers.

All: Cheers. Hear, hear.

Abby: My turn.

[ Abby laughing ] So, as I was listening to your beautiful vows, I was just looking at the both of you and thinking, you didn’t even have to say one word to each other. It was all there in your eyes. The way that you were looking at each other, how connected you are and just how much you love each other. And I am so happy for you both. Congratulations. Cheers.

All: Cheers.

Devon: That was really good.

Mamie: Diane and my dear jack. I’m not sure that I believe that people are destined to be together, but I do know that when love is real and strong, it will find its way. As has yours. I wish you many, many years of happiness.

All: Cheers.

Kyle: Anyone else?

Nikki: Yes. Sometimes, it takes more than one try to make it work. I know that from experience. But there is a reason why two people keep finding their way back to each other. It could be that one of them is trying to escape a mess they’ve gotten themselves into–

Jack: Nikki…

Nikki: I’m talking about love. The kind of love that defies logic. That perseveres in the face of great odds. And despite interference from well-meaning individuals. Jack, diane. My sincerest congratulations.

All: Cheers.

Jack: I’ll be right back.

Guard: He insists he was invited, but he’s not on the guest list.

Jack: You handled it just perfectly. Thank you very much. I’ll take it from here. Well, you’ve got a lot of gall.

Tucker: I– I know how this looks and I can understand why you might be mad.

Jack: I am not mad. I am disgusted, but I’ll be just fine after you leave.

>>Tucker: Could we could just pretend for the moment that we’re on good terms?

Billy: Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Tucker: Hey, billy, I was just telling jack–

Jack: You know what? I want you to leave, now.

Billy: Jack, can I have the honors, please?

Tucker: Guys, please? Please, please, relax. I come in peace and bearing gifts or gift for the happy couple.

Kyle: No, audra, I don’t blame you for firing me. That’s what nikki ordered you to do. What choice did you have?

Audra: None at all. And what’s with this sudden edge I’m hearing in your voice? Okay, I’ve heard you direct that at other people, but never at me and frankly, I don’t appreciate it.

Kyle: I’m surprised, that’s all.

Audra: At what?

Kyle: At how quickly you were able to turn off your feelings. We went from your hotel suite to distant acquaintances in the blink of an eye.

Audra: Well, I mean, you talk like we had some sort of storybook romance.

Kyle: I thought it meant something.

Audra: Yes, it did. Two consenting adults who were attracted to each other. You know, we had fun. The sex was great and now, we move on with our lives.

Kyle: I see.

Audra: Don’t look so wounded. Your pride might have taken a hit, but your heart, it’s just fine. Look, we both know the truth here. You’re not the love of my life and I’m not the love of yours. That would be summer.

Kyle: Okay. How many times do I have to say it? It is over between me and summer. There’s no hope of us finding our way back to each other.

Audra: Well, if that’s true, you know, which I doubt. I’m very sorry for you.

Kyle: Don’t be.

Audra: Look, kyle. Look, I know that this, okay, was just about you trying to forget how much summer means to you. But if you dig deep and take a long, hard, honest look, I think you’ll discover that you miss her and you still love her. Much more than you’re willing to admit.

Nikki: Traci, this is claire grace, my new assistant at newman media.

Traci: Oh, claire. It’s very nice to meet you and congratulations on your new job.

Claire: Thank you. It’s so wonderful to meet you.

Nikki: Claire is a fan.

[ Traci laughing ]

Claire: Echoes of the past is one of my favorite books. I just– I love your work.

Traci: Oh, my gosh. That’s so sweet. Thank you. And we’re really glad that you could join us today.

Claire: Glad to be here.

Nate: Devon. So, aunt mamie was right. Life is too short. We’re family.

Devon: Yeah. And you know, it hurts a lot more when you get betrayed by your own family.

Nate: I apologize for what I did. I own my mistakes.

Devon: I know you did. And I– I forgive you. That doesn’t mean I have to forget, right?

Nate: Abby?

Abby: This is for the two of you to work out or not. I can’t tell devon how to feel about this.

Nate: Look, there’s gotta be some part of you that appreciates what aunt mamie’s trying to do. Wanting to bring the family together.

Devon: Yeah, she’s not talking about you and me fixing our personal issues. She just wants us to work together.

Nate: Her heart is in the right place. But I agree with you, that’s not gonna happen. I am happy where I am at newman.

Devon: Good.

Nate: And it’s not as if aunt mamie had the power to offer me a job if I did want to come over.

Devon: Yeah. I know.

Tucker: Please accept it.

Jack: I’m not interested in your gift.

Billy: Is it ticking, tucker? Because this is either a bomb or a joke?

Tucker: No, it’s just that I’ve been contemplating the situation I find myself in. And meditating about it and searching my heart, and all this–

Billy: This is nauseating, to be honest.

Jack: Please just leave.

Tucker: It’s exhausting. These feelings of– of anger and negativity, they’re really preventing me from letting go and moving on with my life.

Billy: Well, that’s very sweet, very sweet. Appreciate the catharsis. Can we move on?

Abby: Uncle jack.

Billy: Are you getting out town?

Tucker: Hello, son.

Devon: What are you doing here?

Tucker: I’m glad you asked. Even when I was with the people I love,

Mamie: I really want this to be all jack is hoping for.

Diane: Well, your blessing means the world to him.

Mamie: He’s like a son to me.

Diane: And he sure loves you.

Nate: Diane, you look radiant.

Diane: Oh, thank you.

Nate: This has been a wonderful afternoon. Aunt mamie, there is someone I’d like to introduce you to.

Mamie: Well, that will have to wait. I have to go and powder my nose. To be continued.

Diane: I look forward to it.

Nikki: I wasn’t expecting to see you here. I would have thought you had better judgment. Were you even invited?

Audra: By kyle. You know, I was surprised to get the invitation. You know, it seems you were right. He is having a hard time letting go.

Nikki: Well, you wouldn’t have come if you weren’t having a hard time letting go as well.

Audra: You’re right. I don’t want to. You know, I like being with kyle and if you can’t accept that, then we have a problem.

Tucker: I am here to apologize and make peace.

Devon: Well, I don’t think it’s the time or place to do that.

Tucker: I disagree. Uh, jack and diane are celebrating their marriage and the beginning of their new life together–

Jack: And your marriage just blew up.

Tucker: Yes. Yes. And I was filled with hurt and anger when I got back from paris, but I realized that was just causing me more hurt and anger and I don’t want to live that way. What can I do to prove to you that I’m sincere?

Billy: Why don’t you start by admitting you tried to frame me for embezzling money from my family company?

Tucker: Billy, I know nothing about that.

Jack: Then, we have nothing left to talk about. I’ll say one last time. Get the hell out of my house!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Lucy: No, I do not have a comment on that either! Ohh! Why? Why are they so rude? They’re just rude. Why won’t they leave us alone?

Maxie: I don’t know.

Well, because there’s blood in the water. But we are not dead yet.

Lucy: W-we’re not. I mean, if we could just come up with a product as fantastic as the Deceptor, we’d be fine.

Maxie: Lucy, that could take months. Maybe even years. I mean, why won’t you just take Tracy’s deal?

Scott: Oh — bite your tongue there, Maxie. Lucy’s got a sliver of the ELQ pie. She’s got to hang onto that!

Maxie: Oh. Okay. Well, I hope that sliver of pie keeps Lucy fed when deception goes under… because after years of breaking our backs and building this company from the ground up, Sasha and I will ultimately end up with nothing!


Brook Lynn: I totally agree. Your venue is perfect. I can guarantee that blaze is gonna sell it out. I can even throw in an opening act for you if you want. I have to call you back.


Alexis: Here’s everything Molly was able to dig up on judge Albert Kim. And this is everything Diane was able to dig up, so we got a lot of work ahead of us.

Gregory: Good. I’m ready. Let’s nail this bastard.

Alexis: Aren’t you all fired up!

Gregory: Well, I’m trying to cultivate a good “go for it” attitude, hoping it translates to skydiving.

Alexis: So researching papers to skydiving. That’s quite a leap!

Gregory: Wow. Really?

Alexis: I know.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Chuckles ] Hi, there.

Finn: Hi. I’m — I’m really sorry to interrupt the fun, but I was wondering if I could steal my dad away for a cup of coffee.


Cyrus: What’s going on? Visiting hours are over. Why am I being brought here during off hours?

Guard: You’ll find out soon enough.

Ellen: I… thank you for bringing down Mr. Renault. You can leave us alone now.

Cyrus: Should I be worried?


Nina: Well, there he is. Hi, handsome.

Alright. I am set. I’m ready to get this wedding going. What about you?

Sonny: Just about.

Nina: What, are we waiting on something?

Sonny: Yes, we are.

Nina: Something for the wedding?

Sonny: You got to be patient. You got to wait a little while longer.

Nina: Well, Sonny, I am the bride, so shouldn’t I know what we are waiting on? And, besides, you said that the staff in Puerto Rico is handling everything.

Sonny: Yeah, but this is something that I could only get in port Charles, and the wedding would not be complete without it.

Nina: What is going on?

[ Both laugh ]

Who’s ready for a wedding?!

[ Nina gasps ] Ohh…

[ Sighs ]


Scott: Listen. I-I don’t want you to worry, okay? ‘Cause your attorney, Vance — top-notch. I’ve seen her in action. Okay? And, besides, you’re like a gladiator. You got your sword out ready to conquer.

Lucy: Thank you. I think. But listen, pal. You know what? We really could lose this case… or deception could go completely under financially before we even get to court. And like you said, I’m a gladiator. I-I’ll be fine. I will survive anything. It’s just Maxie. She is raising three little kids without any support — just her. So if I did take Tracy’s deal, at least Maxie would have a job.

Scott: Y-you can’t let Tracy put the screws to you because of Maxie.

Lucy: [ Sighs ] But I can’t do that to my very best friend in the whole world, not to her daughter and her grandchildren. Felicia — I can’t do that to Felicia. What am I saying? Maxie has become my very best friend in the whole world, too. And if I let her down, I couldn’t live with myself. So I don’t know. I-I just — I don’t feel like I can do it to Maxie, either!

Scott: Lucy, have you got your noggin screwed on straight? You can’t let go of the ELQ stock. It’s the tie-breaking vote!


Brook Lynn: Chase? What happened?

Chase: I got some pretty bad news at the hospital today. Okay. And it is the last thing I ever would have expected or imagined. Now I’m just… sitting here trying to make sense of it… trying to figure out the little things I missed. Brook Lynn, my dad is dying.

Brook Lynn: What?


Gregory: Son, listen. Alexis and I are in the middle of something. Instead of coffee, can we maybe grab dinner later upstairs at the metro court?

Finn: Actually, I was really hoping we could go now.

Alexis: You know what? We don’t need to do this now. Y-you go with your son. He needs you.

Gregory: Are you sure?

Finn: She seems pretty sure.

Alexis: I’m sure. I can — I can sort through it and organize it.

Gregory: Oh, I feel bad about leaving you with all this drudgery.

Alexis: Drudgery to you. Interesting to me. Because I’m gonna find a little nugget that will blow this whole story wide open. Go, go, go.

Gregory: Coffee it is.

Finn: Okay.

[ Mouthing words ]


Nina: I’m still in shock. I am so thrilled. I can’t believe you guys can make it on such short notice. I mean, it wouldn’t have been the same if you all weren’t here with me and Sonny.

Wiley and donna are settled in, playing. Melanie’s got enough books and games to keep them occupied for the rest of the flight.

Willow: They loved the takeoff. Wiley was glued to the window the entire time.

Nina: That’s so great. What about Avery? Wasn’t she able to come?

Pilar called. Avery’s got something wrong with her stomach. She’s sick, so she can’t come.

Nina: Oh, no. And I’m disappointed, but… oh, that’s — that’s so sad. Well, I hope she gets better soon.

Um, hey. When did you arrange for everyone to come? We just decided to do this ourselves.

Sonny: I made the rounds this morning, extended some invitations, you know.

Nina: I knew you were up to something when you left the penthouse.

And Dante sends his congratulations and best wishes.

Nina: Yeah, well, we will miss him and we will miss the family that couldn’t come, but I’m gonna focus in on the family that could. I’m thrilled that you’re here. This is the best wedding present I could ever ask for.


Alexis: Looks like Judge Kim doesn’t miss an opportunity for a high-profile case.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Alexis: Yep. Oh. Yeah. Send her in.

[ Knock on door ]

Alexis: Come on in! Hey. Hi. Carly. Hi. What brings you here?

Carly: Well, Sonny told me that he asked you to look into the judge who gave Drew that ridiculous sentence.

Alexis: Yeah, that’s all here. I’ve been researching that for most of the day.

Carly: Great. Full disclosure — I’m the one who asked Sonny to reach out to you. I also asked Diane to share any information that she’s discovered on judge Kim with you.

Alexis: I’m glad you did. Look, Carly, I have a vested interest in Drew, as well. He’s the father of my granddaughter, and I would like to see him come home to scout.

Carly: Have you had any luck?

Alexis: From what I can tell so far, I think there’s a strong possibility that there has been a miscarriage of justice.


Cyrus: This is a rare and special privilege. Just the two of us in this spacious room.

Ellen: It’s private. Cameras are off except during visiting hours. There’s no record of this meeting… like there would be if you came to see me in my office.

Cyrus: And why, warden, do you require such privacy? Just what is it you have in store for me?


Kristina: None of you have visited the island yet, right?

No, I haven’t.

Nina: You know, Sonny has told me all about it. He’d planned for us to go to the island, but Willow went through what she went through, so I wanted to be with her.

Willow: Even though you knew I didn’t want you there.

Nina: Well, I knew where I had to be.

Kristina: Well, both of you are going to love it. It’s gorgeous.

What’s it like?

Kristina: It’s a hotel and a casino, but there’s a private wing just for the family. And the gardens are just breathtaking.

Nina: Sonny told me about the gardens.

Kristina: Yeah, the smell from the flowers are everywhere. And it doesn’t matter what room you’re in, you can still hear the sea.

Well, this sounds like the perfect spot for a wedding.

[ Chuckles ]

Sonny: I want to thank you, Michael.

Michael: For what?

Sonny: For getting Willow to come to the wedding.

Michael: Well, actually, this was Willow’s decision.


Alexis: Judge Kim’s judicial record is solid. He’s an intelligent and an effective jurist.

Carly: That’s not the news I was looking for.

Alexis: But he has a pattern of interpreting the law in a way that lines up ideologically with special interests… who happen to be the ones that influence who sits on what bench and who gets promoted.

Carly: So Judge Kim rules the way these influential people want, and, in turn, he moves up the career ladder, whether or not his ruling is right or not.

Alexis: Very good. You get it. However, I haven’t been able to prove that there has been any quid pro quo of judge Kim accepting any favors or being unduly influenced by the special interests.

Carly: Well, I can help with that. I just found out there’s proof. And I can get it for you.


Ellen: Cyrus, I’m offended. I’m just doing my job, coming in and checking on your welfare. After all, you’re such a beacon of light to the other inmates. All your spiritual ministry that you deliver. It’s no wonder how we managed before without you.

Cyrus: You know, I do provide a valuable service which reflects quite well on your legacy here at Pentonville. It does, doesn’t it? Do you know how many inmates are engaged in self-improvement as a direct result of my guidance?

Ellen: Spare me the campaign speech. We’re alone, Cyrus.

Cyrus: Spare me your false concern for my welfare and get to the point. Why did you want to see me?

Ellen: Because… I’m out of here.


Maxie: Sorry for my outburst.

Lucy: No, no. Really. You do not have anything to apologize for.

Maxie: Okay. Well, let’s prepare for our staff meeting. We need to at least pretend we have a plan moving forward.

Well, on a happier note, Cody Bell is out of custody and Sasha’s home recuperating from all of her… mental problems.

Maxie: Yeah, I got some of the details from mac.

That is — thank you — good news.

Hey, um, did you have a chance to see Sasha?

Maxie: No, no. I’ve been giving her some space. I figured she needed some quiet time.

Lucy: Right. That — that’s a — that’s a very good idea after this ugly situation.

Maxie: Yeah. She can’t seem to catch a break.

Scott: Well, I heard Gladys hightailed it back to Westport, Bridgeport, some port that she’s from in Connecticut. Well, I guess, uh, you girls have work to do, so I’ll bid you adieu.

Uh, Maxie — we need to prepare an agenda for our meeting.

Yeah, yeah, uh, but that can wait.

For what?

I really, um, have something I need to say.


Brook Lynn: Is Gregory in the hospital?

Chase: Mnh-mnh.

Brook Lynn: Where is he?

Chase: Honestly, I-I don’t know.

Brook Lynn: Well, do I need to call Finn? Does he know what’s going on?

Chase: Oh, Finn knows. So does your grandmother.

Brook Lynn: What? My grandmother knows?

Chase: I am the only one who didn’t know that my father was dying. They all kept it from me like I am a child or like I couldn’t handle it. I-I don’t know. I don’t know.

Brook Lynn: What’s, um — what’s Gregory’s diagnosis?

Chase: My father has… amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It’s ALS.


Lucy: I have been doing a lot of thinking today.

Maxie: Can I go first?

Lucy: Oh. Yeah. Sure. Go ahead.

Maxie: Okay. Great. Thank you. Maybe we should just find a buyer for the 25% and call it a day. At least then we would end up with something.

Lucy: Just hold that thought, okay?

Maxie: Lucy.

Lucy: No, really. Hold the thought. Get the staff together for a meeting. And no agenda necessary.


Chase: When I got home, I got my phone out to research ALS. I wanted to see how this disease was gonna take over my father’s life… how it would progress. I want to know how much time I had left with my dad.

Brook Lynn: That’s understandable.

Chase: But then I started scrolling through photos on my phone, and I saw all these great shots of my dad. Us camping together. Tea parties with violet. Hanging out in the stands at a chuck game. And then all these random shots of us at dinner and… …just watching sports on the sofa. And he looks so great in all of them. So vital a-and young for his age. And… it’s like there was nothing wrong with him. Like nothing ever could be wrong with him. And now… all I can think about… …is that young, vital man, my hero… …my dad… he’s gonna be in a wheelchair. And he’s not getting out of it.


Gregory: I should have told Chase. Him learning I have ALS should have come from me. How did he find out?

Finn: It was, uh — it was by mistake.

Gregory: How does a mistake like that happen?

Finn: He was arresting someone, and he got pepper sprayed, so he came by the hospital to get his eyes flushed out. And afterwards, I told him to wait in the lounge, right? And his eyes were all sort of bloodshot and teary. And Tracy Quartermaine saw him, and I think she kind of jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Gregory: Tracy told Chase?

Finn: Yeah, I’m not — I’m not sure what was said initially, but whatever it was, it made Chase suspicious. I saw them talking across the hub. And by the time I knew what was going on, it was too late. Tracy had told Chase.

Gregory: I can’t believe this. So, obviously, Chase knows that I already told you.


Carly: There’s a regular that comes into Kelly’s, and I’ve been talking to him lately. He’s a pilot for a private jet that belongs to a billionaire named Asher alexander. And the pilot told me the downside of his job is that whenever Mr. Alexander wants to go on a trip and for however long he wants to stay, the pilot must go with him.

Alexis: Tough life.

Carly: Right. Well, the last trip they went on was to an island in the Caribbean. Took a group of guys down there to go deep-sea fishing. Guess who one of the passengers was.

Alexis: Judge Albert Kim?

Carly: That’s right.


Willow: So, what made you and Sonny decide to elope?

Nina: Well, it started with just, ugh, this whole big stack of wedding materials that Olivia delivered to me from the metro court, and it got a bit overwhelming, and I kept putting off going through them.

Kristina: Thank you!

Nina: “Thank you” for what?

Kristina: I am the queen of procrastination. So I find it quite reassuring to know that Nina, the super-organized Nina, is also someone who succumbs to procrastination sometimes, too.

[ Laughter ]

Kristina: What about you, Willow? Are you as organized as you seem, or are you a secret procrastinator like Nina?


Michael: Well, Willow and I discussed whether we should attend the wedding or not. Ultimately, I left the decision up to her. Well, here we are.

Sonny: Michael, come on. We both know it’s not that simple.


Cyrus: You’re “out of here.” Are you going on vacation?

Ellen: No. I’m out permanently.

Cyrus: This seems sudden.

Ellen: There’s nothing sudden about it. I’ve been working towards this for a while, and it’s finally happening. I can’t wait to see port Charles, Sonny Corinthos, and this whole infected place from my rear-view mirror.

Cyrus: Where are you headed?

Ellen: Texas. Land of the free.

Cyrus: Another prison?

Ellen: All of them. I’ll be overseeing all of the federal prisons in the state.

Cyrus: What about me?

Ellen: You’ll get yours.


Maxie: First, thank you, everyone, for coming. Um, I know this has not been the easiest time for us. Lucy and I, we really appreciate you sticking by us and working hard. As soon as Lucy gets here, we have an important announcement to make about the future of deception.

Woman: Why don’t you save us the time and just give us the bad news?

Maxie: Uh, let me — let me check and see where Lucy is. You know what? She — she must be on her way. So let’s just give her a few minutes. Oh! What are you doing here, Scott?

Scott: Beats me. Lucy wanted me to come back.

Maxie: What?


Alexis: You’re certain that the pilot said it was Judge Kim on that fishing trip in the Caribbean?

Carly: Yeah, I wanted to make sure, so I looked up judge Kim’s picture on the court website, and the pilot confirmed it. I mean, unfortunately, the pilot signed a non-disclosure agreement, so he can’t say who flies with him on the record, but…

Alexis: Non-disclosures are my specialty. There’s usually a way around them. What I want to know is, did the pilot give you the date of this trip?

Carly: Dates and times.

Alexis: [ Gasps ]

Carly: Apparently they all went down there to go fishing.

Alexis: So the next thing we do is we check judge Kim’s calendar, see if the dates match and if he disclosed his destination.


Gregory: Does Chase blame you for not telling him?

Finn: Everything happened so fast. But he was definitely upset when he left the hospital. And I don’t blame him for being angry at me. I handled this all wrong.

Gregory: No, no, son. I’m not gonna let you blame yourself for this. None of it. T-this was all on me. This is my disease. And I’m Chase’s father. It was on me to tell my son. It wasn’t your responsibility. I was selfish. I shouldn’t have waited so long and delayed the inevitable for as long as I did. And now, because of me, Chase is paying the price.


Chase: I can’t help but think about the time that I spent in a wheelchair. I mean, I-I hoped and prayed that one day I would recover and walk again. And that day that I stood up for the first time… was one of the sweetest moments of my life.

Brook Lynn: Yeah.

Chase: But for my dad… …he won’t get that recovery.

Brook Lynn: This has to be crushing Gregory. How much do you know about ALS?

Chase: Very little. I mean, I did that ice-bucket challenge a few years ago. At that time, I learned that it is degenerative, that there’s no cure, there’s no stopping it.

Brook Lynn: Okay, well, I’m gonna help you find out everything that we can so we know exactly what we’re dealing with, okay?

Chase: I… I j– I — I can’t. Not right now. I-I can’t even imagine what I’m gonna have to say to him the next time I see him.

Brook Lynn: Okay.


Willow: Yes. I have always been one of those annoying organized people.

Kristina: But admit it. How often are you making to-do lists?

Willow: Almost every night. What? I feel comfortable knowing what I have to do the next day and then being able to check it off as I do it. Which is why Michael and I are so perfect together.

Are you serious? Wait.

Willow: Michael is the complete opposite.

Really?

Yes! Oh, he is so unorganized. He’s a mess. I mean, listen, Michael is a great businessman. He’s brilliant. But organization? Not his strong suit.

Busted.

[ Laughter ]

You know, why don’t I put my organizational skills to good use?

How?

By helping you with the wedding. What can I do?


Sonny: It would have been simple enough to refuse my invitation when I asked you.

Michael: I thought the invitation was for both of us. I mean, I wasn’t gonna speak for my wife.

Sonny: Yeah, but you could have made it clear to Willow that she could go to the wedding but you’re not going. Why didn’t you?


Ellen: You do find a way to make it all about you, Cyrus, don’t you? You’ll be fine. You want to know why?

Cyrus: Oh, I’m sure you’ll tell me.

Ellen: Because I have great trust in your ingenuity. You’re like a cat, Cyrus. You always find a way to land on your feet. But now I don’t have to clean up your messes. My promotion came through, and I’ll be in Texas.

Cyrus: You’re welcome.

Ellen: [ Scoffs ] You always take credit for everything.

Cyrus: God helps those who help themselves.

Ellen: And you definitely help yourself, don’t you, Cyrus?

Cyrus: There is just one more thing before you go.


Lucy: …And I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your hard work. That hard work has made deception the incredible company that it is today. Now, I-I’m sure you’ve all heard — and you’re probably talking about it — that we have been hit with a very frivolous lawsuit, one that threatens the very future of deception. Um, and in saying that, that means that we have to make some very, very difficult decisions. Now, those decisions will affect everybody’s lives in this room. Okay, so, on the table is a deal where we would completely relinquish control of deception and we would only be left with 25% stake. Well, obviously, that is unacceptable. Come on. Look at us. We have worked so very hard and we have sacrificed so much to just give in to some — some corporate bully. So in talking to several legal advisors, um… and at a fairly significant personal cost, there is another deal on the table, one that we will retain 49% of the company. So what that means is, going forward, that deception can go on in perpetuity, improving and growing and being amazing for decades to come. You know, I guess what I’m trying to say is I just feel like deception is more than beauty, right? I mean, we’re sustainability and innovation and inspiration. But you know what we also are? We’re really a family. I mean, to me, you’re all my family, one that I have grown to love and to cherish. And I am not gonna let that get away from me. I am keeping it forever. So what I’m trying to say is nobody’s gonna be allowed to take anything else away from us because we are family, fierce, fantastic. And anybody that tries to fight us, we will battle them, and they cannot win if we all just stick together.

[ Applause ]


Brook Lynn: Chase. I’m so, so sorry. This is terrible news. I love Gregory. He’s so smart and funny, and he’s been so welcoming and accepting of me. You know, the thing I love most about your dad is how much he loves your family. You two have such a sweet bond, you know? You’re so close.

Chase: Just not close enough for him to tell me about his diagnosis.

Brook Lynn: I’m sure he intended to. Look. I have to apologize.

Chase: For what?

Brook Lynn: Tracy. She inserted herself where she has absolutely no business.

Chase: Well, if she hadn’t, I still wouldn’t know that my dad has ALS. Although, if I’m being honest, I kind of wish I didn’t.

Brook Lynn: Would it be okay if I stepped out for a little while? There’s just something I want to take care of.

Chase: Yeah. Sure.

Brook Lynn: What are you gonna do?

Chase: I’ll probably just sit here, collect my thoughts, and maybe do a little research.

Brook Lynn: Okay. I love you. So, so much.

Chase: I love you, too. And thank you for listening.

[ Door closes ]


Gregory: I am such a coward for not telling Chase I have ALS.

Finn: Hey. You are not a coward. Don’t do that to yourself. You’re going through a lot.

Gregory: It was bad enough… admitting the truth to myself and then to you. Ever since I was diagnosed, I’ve just been imagining sitting down and — and telling Chase. Imagining the — the look of pain and fear on his face, watching that perpetual optimistic smile of his fade away. Just been dreading it. Or — I don’t know. Maybe — maybe I’ve just been protecting myself. Because as long as Chase didn’t know, then… some little part of me could stay in denial.

Finn: There’s no right way to do this. But I know one thing. You are a hell of a father. I think you’re the best. And I know you’ll do whatever Chase needs, okay?


Alexis: Bingo! Turns out that judge Kim was on vacation the exact dates the pilot provided.

Carly: So that’s great.

Alexis: What it doesn’t say on the calendar is that he was on a fishing trip in the Caribbean or that he was with a politically influential billionaire. And if I were a betting gal, I would say that he didn’t put it on his tax returns that it was a gift.

Carly: Okay. Is this enough? Is this enough to put pressure on Judge Kim to reduce Drew’s sentence?

Alexis: Depends on one thing.

Carly: What’s that?

Alexis: How it’s presented to him.


Nina: Thank you for your offer to help, but Sonny insists that all we have to do is show up.

Kristina: You know, the staff in Puerto Rico is gonna take care of everything. The staff is amazing. You will want for nothing. And the food. Oh! The chef has a Michelin star, so you’re both in for some incredible meals and desserts. And he is taking care of the wedding cake.

Ooh! I can’t wait.

But, really, if you need any help on the actual day with prep — I don’t know — someone to zip up your dress or — or the whole “old, new, borrowed, blue” thing…

Nina: Oh. The “old, new, borrowed, blue” — not needed here. But I would like it if both of you could help me get ready.

Okay! It would be my pleasure to help.


Michael: When I told Willow about your invitation, I let her know that the choice to attend was completely up to her.

Sonny: I see.

Michael: But she wanted to know how I felt.

Sonny: What’d you tell her?

Michael: I told her that I wanted to come. You know, we’re family. And family should show up for big moments in life. Like getting married.


Ellen: Don’t worry, Cyrus.

Cyrus: Oh, I’m not worried, but our business isn’t finished yet. Everything we discussed is still happening. You just need to sit tight and be patient. I can trust you?

Ellen: Trust? Trust doesn’t mean anything now, Cyrus. I’ve erased all of our interactions, eliminated any trace. We’re done.

Cyrus: Who’s replacing you?

Ellen: I don’t know. And, frankly, I don’t care. I’ve done my part. And now you’re on your own.


Donna and Wiley are all buckled in.

They were asleep?

Yeah. They didn’t even budge when I checked their seatbelts.

We’re almost there.

I’m really looking forward to it. And I think Wiley’s going to have a great time on the island.

Sonny: So tomorrow you’re gonna be Mrs. Sonny Corinthos. We’re gonna start a new chapter in our life. And I cannot wait to see where that leads us.

Nina: Me too. You have made me the happiest woman on earth.


Cyrus: I’m actually sorry to see you go.

Ellen: I wish I could say the same, Cyrus, but I can’t.

Cyrus: I have one final question.

Ellen: Ellen: One more is all you get.

Cyrus: Any word on my friend Drew Cain?

Why in the world would you care about Drew Cain?

Cyrus: The man saved my life like Daniel was saved in the lion’s den.

Ellen: Well, it’s a hard den out there, Cyrus. And not everybody is as lucky as Daniel. But rest assured… Drew Cain will be taken care of. And this time, for good.


Carly: Thank you, Alexis. I really appreciate this. And I know it’s gonna mean a lot to Drew.

Alexis: I’m really happy to help. Do you still have the contact information for that pilot?

Carly: I do.

Alexis: Well, use it, will you? See if you can find out anything more. Anything you can find out will be helpful.

Carly: Do you really think the judge is gonna take the bait?

Alexis: I think from what I know about him so far, he’s gonna have a real hard time resisting talking about himself or bragging about his accomplishments to the press. I need to get him in here for an interview, I need to get him talking, and hopefully he won’t stop. Just give him enough rope. And then we got him.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ]


Maxie: Lucy, that was a great speech.

Lucy: I know. Wow. But, hey, seriously, I just — I couldn’t let you and everybody else sink because of horrible Tracy Quartermaine. Not on my watch.

Maxie: Thank you. You’re a great friend.

Lucy: Did you happen to see where Scott went?

Scott: You know, Lucy, this decision is crazy. But it’s my kind of crazy. So… let’s celebrate.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

Finn: I’m sorry, you and Deacon are–

Sheila: Are in love. I know. It’s– it’s hard to believe, but we– we couldn’t be happier.


RJ: Luna, are– are you okay?

Luna: I’m fine, really.

RJ: No, you’re obviously upset. I– I mean, you– you don’t have to tell me, but did something happen?


Hope: Thank you, Mom. How did you know I needed that?

Brooke: A mother knows.

[ Both chuckling ] We’ve both been so busy, it’s been hard to catch up with you.

Hope: Hm, well, I’m trying to figure out the kids new schedules, trying to find that rhythm again. I’m working on hard on the new collection for Hope for the future.

Brooke: With Thomas.

Hope: Well, yes, he is my lead designer.

Brooke: Hm. Is that all he is these days? I’m still worried about your involvement with him.

Hope: Well, you wouldn’t be the only one. Finn feels the same way.


Brooke: I don’t quite understand. Why would Finn be worried about you and Thomas? Does he know?

Hope: Oh, no. No. I don’t think he’s aware of my, um… involvement with Thomas past the kiss in Rome, but he does know that Thomas played a big part in the reason as to why Liam ended our marriage.

Brooke: When did you see Finn?

Hope: Well, Kelly actually left her sequin pillow at the cabin and Steffy texted me about it, let me know that Finn was putting together a care package for her and the kids, you know, overseas, so I went by and dropped it off. And then, you know, Finn and i got to talking and it was rather unexpected, but it was… it was nice. Finn and I, we haven’t gotten a chance to spend a lot of time together. He’s a good man.

Brooke: Well, that’s interesting. You talked to him about Thomas?

Hope: Well, yeah. I mean, he doesn’t know the full context of our situationship, but, uh, he is aware of Thomas’ complicated history and he just decided to make it known that he believes… I deserve someone better than Thomas.


RJ: I’m sorry. I– I don’t mean to pry at all.

Luna: No, you’re not. It’s just… it’s– it’s not a big deal, okay?

RJ: If you’re upset, it’s a big deal to me. Tell me, is it– is it someone– is it someone at the office that’s giving you a hard time?

Luna: No, no. It has nothing to do with work.

RJ: Well, are you sure? Because, you know, if there’s a problem, I’ll deal with it.

Luna: No. Everyone’s been wonderful.

RJ: So, it has nothing to do with anyone here at Forrester, right?

Mother: Listen to me. Luna, stay away from the Forresters.


Finn: This can’t be happening.

Deacon: Look. It completely snuck up on us, too. Your mom and I, we’ve been spending a lot of time together and we– we enjoy each other’s company. Finn, I love her and she loves me, too.

Sheila: This is the first time in my life I– I have someone that loves me for who I am. It’s– it’s been life changing.

Deacon: Look, I wanted you to see that she has truly changed. I didn’t just ask to see you so you could see us together. I wanted you to see how much I believe in her rehabilitation, and I’m hoping that you could believe in it, too.


RJ: You know, I’m not trying to pry, I just– I wanna make sure you to feel at home here, you know?

Luna: I appreciate that. I mean, you’ve been incredibly welcoming.

RJ: I hope so. You know, we’ve been working together for a few weeks now. I feel like we’ve really gotten to know each other and I don’t know. I just want to make sure that you feel safe and comfortable here, you know, at Forrester.

Luna: Yeah, I mean, you make me feel safe.

RJ: Great. Well, then you continue being your awesome self around me.

Luna: Oh? Okay, so now you think I’m awesome?

RJ: Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.

Luna: Mm-hmm.

RJ: With a little bit of– with a little bit of stylish–

Luna: Yes.

RJ: And smart.

Luna: Right.

RJ: Huge amount of confidence, like exuberant, but you know, a little bit of funny. Just like a– you know.

Luna: Okay, don’t stop now. Keep going.

RJ: And you’re beautiful. You’re really beautiful.


Brooke: I’m a bit surprised that Finn was so outspoken about your involvement with Thomas, and I’m not sure that Steffy would appreciate his opinions about her brother.

Hope: Oh, I don’t think Finn would have gone out of his way to tell me how he feels about it. I just happened to be at his house and it came up naturally.

Brooke: Well, I’m grateful he opened up to you, and he’s right. You do deserve better than Thomas.

Hope: Finn just thinks I’m drawn to him because of my history with Liam. You know, wanting to be with a man who is completely and totally committed to me.

Brooke: And I do believe he’s right. So, what do you think about what Finn said? In your mind, do you think he’s right?


Sheila: I– I know that this is a shock for you. It is for me, too. I never thought that I would ever find anyone that– that could love me. I mean, flaws and all. But love heals, Finn. It changes people and this connection, Deacon’s unconditional acceptance of me, it has changed my life profoundly. I– I hope– I hope that you can see that. The change in me and– and that you can find a way to be happy for us. I just– I feel like I have so much love to give and I– I would really like to share that with you, too, if you let me.

Finn: You know, this is not at all why I thought you wanted to see me, Deacon. What am I supposed to say? Because all I can think about right now is how much I miss my wife and children. Steffy never would have left if it weren’t for you. You know what? You two, you’re in love. Fine, that’s– that’s– that’s great. That’s your business. But if you love me, if you truly love me, your biological son, then you would realize that you need to leave Los Angeles! Go back to Genoa City! Anywhere but here! Literally anywhere! Because if you stay near me, if you try to insinuate your way into my life, you’re gonna cost me the one thing that I love more than anything in this world! My wife and my children.


Luna: Working at Forrester has been such a dream. I mean, seriously, I wake up every single day so excited to come to the office. RJ, I’m just– I’m so grateful for this opportunity.

RJ: Well, you know, you can really tell when someone’s passionate about something ’cause it shows up in their work. Everybody’s noticed with you.

Luna: Even you?

RJ: Oh, come on. Especially me. My granddad, um, he always wanted Forrester to be a place where creative people could learn and grow.

Luna: You two have such a close bond.

RJ: Yeah, we do.

Luna: God, he must be so proud of you.

RJ: Well, I haven’t done anything yet, so I hope he will be.

Luna: Oh, come on.

RJ: What?

Luna: I think you’ve done a lot already. I mean, you’re taking care of him, you’re helping him. I mean, that’s a true reflection of who you are and your character. Honestly, RJ, I don’t– I don’t think I’ve ever met a guy, let alone anyone, who’s as kind and sincere as you. Are– are you sure you’re for real, or…?

RJ: Am I sure I’m for real? I don’t know. Last time I checked, I think I am, I think.

[ Luna giggling ]

Luna: I don’t know. I’ve always loved fashion, right? And I’ve always wanted to work at a place like Forrester, but… the best part of it is working here with you.

RJ: Ah, come on.

Luna: No, no. I mean it. And I know– I know you’re just starting out, but you clearly have the same talent as your father and your grandfather. I mean, your designs are amazing.

RJ: Well, I’d love to see you in one of them some day. You know, my dad and my granddad have both said that beauty inspires beauty and you’re very beautiful.

Luna: Well, RJ, you are pretty hot yourself.

[ Luna giggling ]


Brooke: Finn makes a good point. In Thomas, you found a man that is completely committed to you and that could be very enticing.

Hope: Well, it feels good. Thomas’ love for me. But still, then Finn brought up our history and the fact that another man might be capable of loving me and only me.

Brooke: That all might be hard to hear, but I’m certainly glad that he spoke about those things.

Hope: It was strangely very easy to open up to Finn. I mean, he understands it. We’re in a similar situation. To be married to someone who has a strong connection to someone else, that’s– that’s not always easy, but he gets it. He listened. He understood.

Brooke: I think you and Finn have more in common than you realize.

Hope: Well, he’s a remarkable man. He’s a good doctor, a good listener. Insightful and kind, so Steffy is lucky to have him as her husband.


Finn: If you love me, if you truly love me, then prove it. Leave town. Just let me live my life with Steffy, Kelly and Hayes without you.

Deacon: Finn, listen to me. Your mother and I are hoping for a fresh start.

Finn: Okay, great. Go have a fresh start somewhere else. I mean, like, do you really expect me to say something else?

Deacon: What I expect you to do is listen with an open mind.

Finn: Oh, my God.

Deacon: Look, listen to me. I’m taking people in here at Il Giardino. People that have made mistakes, but they’re willing to change okay? Your mother’s going to be a part of this. She’s gonna work beside me every single day, and I’m gonna make damn sure that she never hurts anyone again and that includes Steffy.

Finn: You’re gonna make damn sure?

Deacon: Well, I am a black belt in karate, Finn. I think I can control Sheila.

Finn: Control Sheila? With what? Your nunchakus? Sheila shot us, Deacon. Like, do you even hear yourself? What about your daughter? You think Hope is gonna listen to this insanity with an open mind? Are you willing to throw your relationship away with her because if you’re involved with Sheila, that’s exactly what’s gonna happen. She’s not gonna accept this.

Deacon: I know that my relationship with Sheila is gonna be shocking to a lot of people–

Finn: Huh.

Deacon: Especially Hope, but I also know that people can change, Finn. They can. They can– they can change and be redeemed. I’m living proof of it. I believe in redemption, and I know Hope does, too. You know how I know? Because she gave me a second chance, she gave me another chance to be a father to her. You should to do the same thing for your mom. Look, I get it, man. You wanna make sure that she’s doing the work and that she’s changing. Okay, fine, fine. Let us show you. Let us show Steffy and all the Forresters that she’s changing. Let her prove that she’s worthy of being loved. That she can be a good and a healthy part of your family.


RJ: You know, when I got here, I didn’t really know if I wanted to join the family business. I’m glad I did.

Luna: Yeah, me, too. I mean, I think it’s wonderful that you’re helping your grandfather. Especially if he’s, you know, facing some serious medical issues.

RJ: No, that– I’m– I’m cherishing every moment that I get to spend with him. But, um, I was actually talking about you. I mean, come on. Well, you know, the timing of the two of us meeting each other here at this exact moment. Come on, it’s pretty perfect, am I wrong?

[ Luna giggling ]

RJ: You know… when I got here, too, I was– I was really lacking in direction. I didn’t know if I wanted to design. I just knew I really wanted to help my grandfather. And I’ll be honest with you, I was really struggling to find my calling. And then I met you. I’m serious. I met– and you– you’re here and you’re chasing your passion. You– you have so much energy and excitement and it’s just, it’s inspiring. I hope you know that. It really is. It’s infectious. Like, when I’m working on one of my designs and you’re– you’re looking at it and you’re telling me what you see, I feel like that I can see it through your eyes. Don’t laugh at me, but sometimes, I think about, you know, specific fabrics or colors would look good on you and I don’t know, how I’d make a dress that’s specifically tailored just to how you walk. Luna, I’ve… I’ve met so many people. I’ve traveled to so many beautiful cities and… I’ve honestly never met anybody as special as you. I mean, I– I swear, there’s something about you that is just so special and– and magical. Mysterious. I just, uh… I look forward to getting to know you better.


Deacon: So that happened.

Sheila: Yeah.

Deacon: You okay?

Sheila: I’m just worried about Finn. He was so shocked to hear about us. Thank God we didn’t tell him about the engagement yet.

Deacon: Babe, we knew this was gonna happen, you know? People are gonna be shocked that we’re together.

Sheila: Especially Hope.

Deacon: Yeah.


Finn: Hey.

Hope: Hi. What are you doing here?

Finn: Is, um, now an okay time? I just really need to talk to you.

Hope: Sure. I actually– I was thinking about the conversation we had earlier, and I– I did tell my mom about some of the things and obviously, she agrees with you.

Finn: Yeah, well, you know, I just, you know, want what’s best for you.

Hope: Thank you. That means a lot.

Finn: You deserve to be happy.

Hope: Well, we both do. Uh, are you sure everything is okay? Because there’s clearly something weighing on you.

Finn: Um, yeah, just– you know the– the more I, uh, think about it, the more I realize how much we have in common. We both have complicated relationships with the people we love in our lives.

Hope: Yeah. I suppose our family dynamic is trickier than most.

Finn: Well, especially with our parents.

[ Hope laughing ]

Hope: Tell me about it. That is very true.

Finn: Do you understand what I’m saying, Hope? Like, do– do you know?

Hope: Do I know what? Finn, what am I supposed to know? What do you want to tell me?

Billy: Thank you very much. Well, well, what are you still doing here?

Tucker: Why would I leave?

Billy: I just thought you would have left town by now.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Why?

Billy: Well, uh, I have proof that you and Audra did a disgusting thing. Covered up the evidence for a statutory rapist. That’s not a good look. You also failed miserably when you tried to make it look like I embezzled money from my family company. I paid all that money back to Jabot, by the way.

Tucker: Good boy.

Billy: And I can count on half a hand the amount of people that can actually stand the sight of your face, so i thought you would have took off.

Tucker: You probably forgot that I have a son and a grandson here in town who can stand the sight of me. And– and I’m not about to leave ’em again. And if you’re worried that I’m sticking around to exact revenge on you or the Abbotts or Jabot…

[ Scoffs ] I’m a lot of things, Billy, but I’m not an idiot. You’re holding a bomb over my head. So you win. Congratulations. You’ve pretty much forced me to back off.

Billy: Backing off isn’t the same as abandoning, tucker.

Tucker: Oh, god, forgive me. Abandoned. Is that better?

Billy: Not even a little.

Tucker: Yeah, I don’t know what I could do to prove to you that it’s over for me. That I’m just done with you and the Abbotts and your precious little company.

Lily: What exactly are your intentions at chancellor-winters?

Jill: Yeah, actually, I’m pretty curious about that myself.

[ Mamie laughs ]

Mamie: Jill, Jill, Jill. Who but you would show up at a private party to which you were not invited? Well, I can’t really say that I’m that surprised, but, oh, how rude.

Jill: You see, it just– it all seemed a little wonky, this secret investor thing the way it played out, so I just had to come and see firsthand if it was indeed you, Mamie, who bought into my company. And if so, why?

Mamie: Well, when this investment opportunity came to my attention, I just couldn’t refuse. Oh, come on, Jill, it’s wonderful, isn’t it? To be able to support a successful business and to reconnect with my family?

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

Mamie: Jill, why is it that you only see shadows and secrets? I suppose that’s just how your mind thinks. But that’s not how the rest of us live our lives. This is my family that you’re in business with. You see the bottom line. I see love and togetherness. This is just not about you, honey.

Jill: Oh, lord, forgive me, Mamie, but I know who you really are and I find it very hard not to doubt your motives.

Mamie: [ Laughs ] Okay. So, Devon is correct. I didn’t have to make an investment in chancellor-winters in order to spend time with the people that I care about, but why not take advantage of a good business move at the same time?

Jill: Good choice of words. Boy, you really know about taking advantage, don’t you?

Mamie: Oh, no, you don’t wanna go down that road. I sit alongside John Abbott all those years that he was building his business empire. I took good care of the Abbott children.

Jill: You just stood alongside him? Sorry, honey, that wasn’t you.

Nick: I highly doubt my brother regretted anything. He took advantage of the fact that I was gone.

Sally: No, no.

Nick: Hey, nick’s out of town. Let me real quick try and seduce sally and see if I can convince her to dump him and get back with me.

Sally: No, nick, that’s not what happened.

Nick: That is exactly what happened. This is how my brother operates. It’s who he is.

Sally: He really did seem to feel bad afterward.

Nick: I highly doubt that. So what? He kissed you, then what?

Sally: What? What– what do you mean?

Adam: Well, then you are not looking closely enough.

Victor: I run this damn place. If any problem should raise its ugly head, I’ll excise it.

Adam: Gonna nip it?

Victor: Anyone who is disloyal to me or to Newman enterprises.

Adam: Good morning, boss. I, uh, took the liberty of ordering you some coffee. Should be out soon.

Nate: Adam, thank you for coming.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Uh, I pride myself on being on time. Early even. And as your new assistant, I await your command.

Nate: Hm, I thought it best we discuss how this is going to work moving forward.

Adam: Sure thing, you’re in charge. Um, now how do you take your coffee? Cream, sugar? And is there a paper that you read first thing in the morning?

Nate: The attitude isn’t necessary. And it’s not gonna work with me.

[ Adam clears throat ] I asked you here because I’d like to set some ground rules and expectations, so there are no misunderstandings later.

Adam: Mm.

[ Adam chuckles ] You must be in heaven.

Nate: I’m not sure what you mean.

Adam: Having this much power over me. It’s thrilling, isn’t it?

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

Nick: Here’s a thought. Why don’t we just give up all these dreams and plans we have for all these other businesses and just do nothing? Seriously, we just hang out with each other. Live off love and, uh, spoil each other rotten.

Sally: Well, we might wear each other out pretty quickly.

Nick: Are you questioning my stamina?

[ Sally chuckles ]

Sally: Never. Mm-mm. No, I’m just saying that we both have to work. I mean, I don’t think either of us would last more than a week without a sense of purpose.

Nick: So, our connection isn’t purpose enough? Wow. Okay, well, it is for me.

Sally: What has gotten into you?

Nick: I don’t know. I just– I woke up this morning and I was just really, really grateful that I get to wake up next to you. I really missed you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Billy: Thank you very much. Well, well, what are you still doing here?

Tucker: Why would I leave?

Billy: I just thought you would have left town by now.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. Why?

Billy: Well, uh, I have proof that you and audra did a disgusting thing. Covered up the evidence for a statutory rapist. That’s not a good look. You also failed miserably when you tried to make it look like I embezzled money from my family company. I paid all that money back to jabot, by the way.

Tucker: Good boy.

Billy: And I can count on half a hand the amount of people that can actually stand the sight of your face, so i thought you would have took off.

Tucker: You probably forgot that I have a son and a grandson here in town who can stand the sight of me. And– and I’m not about to leave ’em again. And if you’re worried that I’m sticking around to exact revenge on you or the abbotts or jabot…

[ Scoffs ] I’m a lot of things, billy, but I’m not an idiot. You’re holding a bomb over my head. So you win. Congratulations. You’ve pretty much forced me to back off.

Billy: Backing off isn’t the same as abandoning, tucker.

Tucker: Oh, god, forgive me. Abandoned. Is that better?

Billy: Not even a little.

Tucker: Yeah, I don’t know what I could do to prove to you that it’s over for me. That I’m just done with you and the abbotts and your precious little company.

Billy: I can tell you exactly what you can do. You can leave genoa city for good and not turn back.

Traci: So, the florist has just finished setting up and that is done.

Jack: Thank god you changed that order. By the way, how did you remember that abby is allergic to lilies?

Traci: Abby is my niece and I am traci abbott. It’s what I do. [ Laughs ]

Jack: And I don’t know what I would do without you in my life.

Traci: Well, you will die wondering.

[ Both laughing ]

Jack: Everything all right?

Diane: Uh, not really. It’s noon and my dress for this afternoon should be here by now. At my alterations, I– I had very little to do, so I really don’t know what the hold up is.

Jack: Okay. It will be here, I promise. No one is more responsible than lauren.

Traci: Wait, you got your dress from lauren? Not one of the marchetti designers?

Diane: Yes, I saw it and I fell in love. I wasn’t thinking about the fact that phyllis happens to be lauren’s best friend.

Traci: Oh, that’s why you’re so nervous. You’re afraid that phyllis is going to sabotage your wedding celebration.

[ Both sighing ]

Lauren: Can I please have a latte? Just a splash of vanilla? Thank you.

Phyllis: I wanted you here because you are a crucial part of me being in this place, so.

Lauren: Me? How?

Phyllis: Because you were there for me and you supported me. You never gave up, even though I put you through a lot.

[ Lauren sighs ]

Lauren: Well, I love you more than I could ever be mad at you. And michael as well.

Phyllis: You’re an incredible friend. You stood by me when I never thought I was gonna get out of this mess. And you put your arms around me and you kept on telling me, “it’s gonna be okay.” And michael too. Ah, you two– you two are the best friends in every sense of the word.

Lauren: We always will be.

[ Phyllis chuckles ]

Phyllis: Champagne.

Lauren: Yes.

[ Both chuckling ]

Phyllis: Hey. [ Chuckles ]

Lauren: Oh.

Phyllis: Oh, wow. Please don’t tell me that’s what I think it is.

[ Phyllis scoffs ]

Sometimes, the lows

of bipolar depression

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lauren: Oh, thank you. If you think this is diane’s dress for her and jack’s wedding reception, you’re right.

Phyllis: Wow. This is unbelievable. You’re one of my best friends, lauren, and you are dressing diane in something from fenmore’s collection? I mean, just stick a knife in my back.

Lauren: All right, before you nail me to the wall anymore, you know I would never do anything for diane. You know me better than that. But jack called, he asked for a favor. What was I supposed to do? I– I love you both.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, what did you give jack? The dunce cap?

[ Lauren sighs ]

Lauren: You know, I have an idea for you. If you are selling this brand new me quest to your friends and family, why don’t you try and let go of this jack and diane thing?

Phyllis: Diane, no chance.

[ Lairen sighs ]

Lauren: Well, unfortunately, for better or worse, she’s who he wants to be with.

Phyllis: Okay, great. Listen, everybody thinks I’m a bad person. I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it, okay. It doesn’t make diane any less horrible. And by you doing this, I mean, you’re just cheering them on. “Hey, jack, I’ll dress up your bride to look like a princess while you walk down the path of misery.” I mean–

Lauren: You have no idea how hard this was for me.

Phyllis: Oh, really. They shouldn’t be getting married at all. You know that.

Lauren: You’re not planning on blowing up this reception, are you? Are you?

Traci: Oh, diane. Look, we all know that phyllis is phyllis and right now, she’s phyllis on probation. So, one false move and she finds herself behind bars. Look, after all she has been through, and after all she’s put her children through, she is not going to sabotage anything.

Diane: I’m sure she can find a way to ruin things without technically breaking any laws, if she puts her mind to it.

Jack: Only she won’T. She knows she’s already in trouble with the abbotts after this scheming with tucker. She’s not gonna pour gasoline on the fire.

Diane: Except she’s a walking fire hazard.

Jack: She’s not going to risk our telling daniel and summer what she’s been up to with tucker.

Traci: Besides, friend or no friend, lauren would never let that happen.

Jack: Exactly.

Diane: All right. Those are all valid points, but still–

[ Traci sighs ]

Traci: Relax, diane, please. I promise you, the dress will be here any minute. And it will be perfection. And you and jack will have a beautiful afternoon surrounded by people who care about you.

Jack: Hey, I don’t know where you’re off to, but please make sure you’re back in time for the reception.

Kyle: Yeah. Yeah, right. Um, that’s today?

Jack: Please tell me you’re joking.

Kyle: I am. But I do have a question.

Diane: What is it?

Kyle: Can I bring a date?

Tucker: I didn’t think it was possible, but you might even be more mercenary than I thought.

Billy: Might be offended by that if I actually care what you think, but just for fun, huh? Why don’t you tell me what you mean by that?

Tucker: Well, we both know that you would have thrown jack to the wolves if it meant taking over jabot yourself. And yet here you are working side by side with him to drive me out of town. If you don’t like mercenary, how about opportunistic, self-serving?

Billy: Hm. Not that I have to explain myself to you, but I’m just going to be very clear. I have only one objective, one objective, only, tucker.

Tucker: World peace?

Billy: It’s the same objective I’ve always had. Then, now, and in the future. That’s to protect my family and my father’s legacy. It’s not that complicated.

Tucker: Yeah. You sound just like ashley. I swear to god, sometimes I wonder what you abbotts really are. A family or a cult? Did you guys remember career day last year?

Traci: Um, sorry. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Minor napkin emergency. Please excuse me while I handle this.

Jack: Thanks you, sis.

Diane: Um, kyle, when you say bring a date, are you thinking of inviting audra?

Kyle: No, no, mom. You know, audra’s not an option. Things have cooled off between us.

Jack: Well, that’s probably for the best, right?

Kyle: And why is that?

Jack: Well, you and I both know that was leading nowhere. It was a tryst to avoid the pain of your breakup with summer. I’m not judging. I’m just saying it happens.

Kyle: And so you keep saying, and for the 1000th time, you were wrong. Look, audra and I were having fun, which I definitely needed. Was it an escape from reality? Sure. Did I enjoy that there was some kind of clandestine element to it? Absolutely. But I really wish you would stop looking at it as some misguided tortured meltdown.

Jack: Okay. I’m sorry. I– I will try not to bring it up again.

Diane: Yes. Actually, your father and I were hoping that you and summer would give the appearance of attending together for harrison’s sake. That way he could at least see you pretending to get along.

Kyle: Believe it or not, we wouldn’t have to pretend, we really have been lately.

Jack: Well, good for you both.

Diane: Yeah. That’s a good first step.

Kyle: Mom, it’s not a first step. It is the only step. And nothing has changed. Summer and I are not getting back together, okay?

Phyllis: How could I blow up jack and diane’s party? I’m not even gonna be there.

Lauren: So, that’s a no?

Phyllis: I’d spend the whole time dry-heaving at the sight of diane.

Lauren: Oh, that’s a lovely visual. Look, I really hope you mean it because I’m not gonna be able to be there to supervise you. I’ve got to go to chicago on an emergency business trip.

Phyllis: You want me to deliver the dress?

Lauren: Oh, that’s so lovely, honey. Yes, and I’m gonna give you some matches and some lighter fluid. No, I’m not gonna let you deliver diane’s dress. Chloe’s gonna get here, hopefully soon, and do it for me. All right. So, besides this reception drama, how are you? When do you start working with daniel?

Phyllis: Oh, mm. It’s not finalized.

Lauren: But you’re happy about it? And you don’t wish you were still working with nick and sharon, do you?

Phyllis: Well, I don’t know. My son made it– um, he just said that I would be under the microscope the whole time I was working at omegasphere, so.

Lauren: Do you blame him? I mean, you’ve got a long way to go with him, honey.

Phyllis: I know. I know. I just can’t help but think that him offering me the job is sort of a pity gesture.

Lauren: Pity?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Lauren: He’s throwing you a life raft. You should be grateful that he’s throwing you one at all after everything that you put him and summer through. Oh, thank god you’re here. Diane’s probably wondering where her dress is and is about to have a panic attack.

Phyllis: That’d be horrible.

Lauren: Uh, okay. I have a plane to catch. Thank you. Um, keep the garment bag away from her and–

Chloe: You know, you can count on me.

Lauren: Thank you. You promised, no trouble. No fireworks, please.

Phyllis: Yeah, no problem. See you later.

Lauren: Okay. Yes, you will. All right. Talk to you later.

Chloe: Bye. Later, phyllis. You know that feeling of having to rewash dishes

Billy: Well, it’s been real, and just so you know, don’t even think about crashing the festivities this afternoon.

Tucker: Are there festivities? Oh, I love a good party. Where and what time do you want me there?

Billy: This party’s off-limits to you. And I’ll be keeping an eye out and I’ll be monitoring the airspace because we both know you like a little helicopter landing. You know, tucker, you think you’re smarter than, oh, everyone on this planet, but only a fool would think that.

[ Tucker sighs ]

[ Piano music playing ]

Danny: Hey.

Phyllis: Hi. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to interrupt. Keep on playing. It’s beautiful.

Danny: Thanks.

[ Piano music playing ]

[ Diane sighs ]

Diane: Okay, kyle. I am not going to bother you about your personal life anymore. All right? I just– I just want you to be happy. I just want you to wake up with a sense of purpose and– and have a reason to get out of bed each morning.

Jack: I second that.

Kyle: Thank you. I know you both mean that, I really do.

Jack: And I am just curious, um, when you said you wanted to bring a date and you said audra was not a possibility, were you thinking of someone else?

Kyle: Uh, you know what, forget about it. It’s too early to introduce harrison to a stranger, especially at a family celebration.

Jack: Well, I’m glad you feel that way because your mother and I were hoping we could keep you a little busier at this reception than perhaps you planned. We have a favor to ask.

Kyle: Sure. What is it?

Diane: Well, jack came up with the idea at dinner last night that since all of our family and friends will be here today, that we would, um, renew our vows.

Jack: And we would be honored if you would agree to officiate. My late father-in-law lit up a room,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Kyle: You’d be honored for me to officiate your vow renewal? I– I’m honored you would even ask me, I mean, yes, yes, of course.

Diane: Oh, good. Thank you. Oh, thank you.

Kyle: Oh, I’ll get it.

[ Door clicks open ] Hi.

Chloe: Hi. So, lauren had an emergency. She had to head over to fenmore’s in chicago. She is so sorry, she is sending along her apologies, she– she’s really sorry that she couldn’t make it.

Jack: Oh, we’re sorry she won’t make it, but believe me, we understand.

Chloe: And I am so sorry that I am extremely late.

[ Laughs ] You know, kids. Um, actually, it wasn’t the kids, it was me, I feel like I shouldn’t blame them.

Diane: No, no, no, no apologies necessary. I have to admit, I was getting a little crazy imagining all kinds of scenarios, but yes, that’s my dress, and it’s still stunning. Ugh! I really appreciate you bringing it by.

Chloe: I was happy to do it.

Diane: Yeah, and all things considered, it was really generous of lauren to let me, of all people, wear one of her designs.

Chloe: Oh, of all people?

Diane: Well, given that she and phyllis are so close, I’m sure I’m not at the top of lauren’s “let’s be friends” list.

Chloe: Oh, well, you know who is at the top of that list? This guy. Jack is basically one of her favorite people in the whole world and she was not going to pass up the chance to make his day extra special.

Jack: Lauren also knows how happy you make me. And as long as that’s the case, as long as you don’t get tired of me, she is always going to be in full support of us being a family again.

[ Piano playing ]

[ Danny chuckles ]

Danny: All right, you know what, that’s it. I have been working on this bridge for hours. I can’t get it right. I gotta take a break.

Phyllis: Uh, I didn’t mean to interrupt, although, my timing’s perfect. Can I buy you a drink? A glass of your driest rose, please. Oh, thank you. What would you like, danny?

Danny: Oh, no, thanks. I’m good.

Phyllis: Are you sure?

Danny: Yeah, I better not. I’m meeting daniel for a late lunch.

Phyllis: Ah. Hey, um, be honest with me. How much does daniel hate me?

Danny: Well, I think “hate” is a pretty strong word. He will always love you, phyllis, always.

Phyllis: You sure about that?

Danny: Absolutely, he just doesn’t trust you.

Phyllis: Okay. [ Laughs ] That’s understandable.

Danny: Yep, and he’s definitely disappointed.

Phyllis: Does he understand how hard I’m working at turning things around? Does he get it? Thank you.

Danny: I think he does, and he really hopes you can. But I really see him struggling to be civil with you because of what you put him and summer through, and it’s a real shame, you know? It makes him sad. Hell, it makes me sad.

Phyllis: You know what makes me sad? Is how much I am judged… and hated by people in this town. People who claimed they loved me. Everybody in this town has made mistakes. But, for some reason, nobody’s willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. That makes me sad.

Jack: Hey.

Billy: There’s the man of the hour. I hope everything went smoothly this morning.

Jack: As a matter of fact, believe it or not, it has gone smoothly. I assume your brunch with the new head of r&d went well?

Billy: It did, she’s great. Super talented. I think she’s gonna be a great asset for us. In fact, I had a wonderful morning, and then I ran into tucker.

Jack: Why is he still in town?

Billy: I don’t know, but he made it very clear that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon. By the way, I’m going to forward you an email.

Jack: What is it?

Billy: Confirmation that I returned all the funds into jabot’s account after supposedly embezzling them.

Jack: I don’t need to see that, I trust you.

Billy: Either way, it’s there, but thank you for that.

Jack: It is such a classic tucker mccall scheme, I’m surprised we didn’t see it coming. And him pulling phyllis into it, as vulnerable as she is these days, couldn’t have been too much of a challenge.

Billy: I don’t think that was a challenge at all.

Jack: Billy, I hope you know, I didn’t doubt you, not for a second, when those jabot funds disappeared. I– I hope you know that.

Billy: Jack, those funds went into my personal account, okay? It’s only natural to assume I had something to do with it.

Jack: Not anymore.

Phyllis: It’s like everybody in this town sees me as this person that I’m not. Do you know what I mean? Well, that I’m not anymore. You know, they see me as the she-devil that… chews men up and spits them out. Devour souls and ruins lives.

Danny: Do you have any idea how many people would love nothing more than to trust you and give you the benefit of the doubt? Yeah. They could’ve walked away, but they didn’t, they’re still here. They’re still pulling for you. Even me.

Phyllis: Even you? After everything I did to you? The lies, seduction… drugs… sex. You should feel flattered.

[ Danny laughs ]

Danny: Wait, f– flattered?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Danny: I’m sorry, how do you figure?

Phyllis: I don’t know.

[ Laughs ] Because– I don’t know, there are four billion men on this planet and you’re the one that I decided to do that to. So, you should be flattered.

Danny: That– that’s right. Yeah, absolutely, no. Thank you for the compliment, really.

[ Phyllis laughs ]

Phyllis: I’m kidding. I mean, you’re welcome, but I’m kidding.

[ Danny chuckles ]

Danny: But you see what I mean? I’m still here. Daniel’s still here. Summer’s still here. There’s so many people that are still here that haven’t given up on you.

[ Phyllis sighs ]

Phyllis: They’ve come close.

Danny: Close doesn’t count. Now, all we need is some proof that we can trust you rather than having to take your word for it and find out later. “Nope wrong, sorry, maybe, next time.”

Phyllis: That sounds lovely. I just– I don’t know where to start, where do I start?

Danny: With you, phyllis. With presenting a positive attitude, okay? Instead of this “woe is me” posture that you’ve been carrying around for as long as I’ve known you. Making you happy isn’t anyone else’s job. This is your job and you know what? Happiness doesn’t come from somewhere out there, it comes from right here.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. You really are sunshine and roses. So, you’re saying that it’s that simple? In life, I just find a silver lining.

Danny: That’s how it works.

Phyllis: That’s how it works.

Danny: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: That sounds exhausting. [ Laughs ]

Danny: You know, you say things like that because it’s clever and witty. But it’s just distracting from what’s really going on with you. You scoff at any suggestion anyone makes that just might help you turn this thing around.

Phyllis: All right, so you say that I should just go through life and pretend that everything’s great? And I could just take on any challenge that comes along because I’m phyllis summers? And I choose my own happiness? Is that your advice?

Danny: I don’t want you to pretend it, I want you to feel it. And not for daniel, for summer, me or anyone else. You have to do this for you. Stop looking for someone else to fix this. Feel good about yourself. Start believing in yourself and you’d be amazed how quickly people start believing in you too.

Jack: I suppose it’s too much to ask that when you saw tucker, he was checking out the athletic club and heading to the airport.

Billy: No such luck. He did say that he was going to back off of his plan to come after jabot and I was very clear when I said backing off is not abandoning.

Jack: Even if he had said “abandoning–”

Billy: Which I pointed out.

Jack: Yeah, but I still don’t trust him. In the unlikely event he does give up on jabot, why would he stay in genoa city?

Billy: He didn’t want to turn his back on dom and devon, his beloved son and grandson. Whatever.

Jack: Wow. How touching.

Billy: Which is exactly why I think we should have kept working to turn devon against tucker in the first place.

Jack: We have already been through this, that was the wrong move.

Billy: No, it was one we disagreed on.

Jack: And we still do.

Billy: Enough said.

Jack: End of discussion.

Billy: Mm-hmm. End of discussion.

Jack: Thank you. Now, all we have to worry about is keeping tucker from blowing up this celebration.

Billy: He claimed to know nothing about it.

Jack: You believe him?

Billy: Hell no.

Jack: Good.

Billy: Believe me, I’m gonna keep my eye on him.

Jack: Mm– I don’t want you doing this.

Billy: No, I want to do that.

Jack: I want you being part of this celebration. Enjoying everyone together.

Billy: Jack, I’m gonna enjoy keeping him on the outside. Trust me, and with his flair for dramatic, I’m gonna have to watch out for helicopters, swat team, plague of locusts.

Jack: Let tucker mccall be the security team’s problem. I am sick and tired of this man and his drama invading my thoughts and my family life.

Billy: Believe me, I’m sick of him in general.

Jack: He does not deserve another moment of time or energy or thought. Today is about love and romance and celebrating together. I want it to be perf– perfect.

Is it menopause

or something else?

Jack: You look like an angel.

Diane: I feel like a queen.

Phyllis: So, are you gonna finish that song or what?

Danny: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Come on. Yeah. Come on. Have a seat.

Phyllis: Yeah?

Danny: Yeah. Have a seat. All right. Let’s give it a go.

[ Piano melody playing ]

Phyllis: Yay.

Danny: That’s it. That is the bridge that I’ve been struggling with all morning. So seriously, what do you think?

Phyllis: Oh, I think it’s amazing, I love it.

Danny: I like it too. Hey, thanks for the inspiration.

Phyllis: You’re welcome. Thank you… for being so empathetic and compassionate with me.

Danny: Well, I figured when you find someone who’s down and they sincerely want to stand back up, you don’t kick them, you offer them a hand.

[ Both chuckling ]

Tucker: We have a bigger problem anyway, and you will need to help me solve it.

Audra: Will I? What are you talking about?

Tucker: The damn singer. The evidence that adam got his hands on, the pr team’s cover-up, or our cover-up, or their cover-up.

Audra: Wait. How can that be? Adam was supposed to destroy those incriminating emails.

Tucker: Apparently, he decided to go a different route.

Audra: What did he do?

Tucker: He sold it to the abbotts.

Audra: Interesting.

Tucker: Yeah, it’s not the word I would use, but…

Audra: Well, big picture aside, and I guess adam has ruined your plans to go after jabot. What are you gonna do now?

[ Tucker sighs ]

Kyle: But it’ll be fun.

Traci: And wait, so you’re gonna officiate, today?

Kyle: Yeah.

Traci: That’s so romantic.

Kyle: A little last minute, but I can pull it off.

Traci: I love that, that’s fantastic.

Kyle: I have a few tricks up my sleeve, let’s step over here, come on.

[ Traci chuckling ] Summer, has harrison settled down yet?

Summer: Uh, not a chance. The nanny’s gonna take him to the park to see if that helps, he’s– he’s a little overexcited.

Traci: Yes, I noticed that and I can’t imagine where that came from.

Kyle: Neither can I. I was a very laid-back child.

Traci: [ Laughing ] You’re not buying any of this, are you?

Summer: Not for a second.

Traci: Good. Good.

[ All laughing ]

Kyle: But seriously, thank you for checking in on them.

Summer: It’s my pleasure. You know that. Uh, excuse me, I’m gonna go get a glass of champagne.

Chance: Thank you.

Sharon: Cheers.

Jack: Could I please have your attention? First of all, welcome. And thank you for being part of this celebration of love and family and friends. As a side note for any naysayers still among us, my bride and i ask that you look into our eyes this afternoon and see for yourself just how genuine, how strong, how powerful our love story is.

[ All cheering, applauding ]

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Phyllis: Wait, does christine still hold a special place in your heart, even now?

Danny: Of course, she does.

Heather: I’ve decided to wrap up my law practice in europe and move back home.

Daniel: Are you thinking of going back to savannah?

Heather: No, we’re moving here, genoa city.

Nick: I absolutely hate it that adam is manipulating you. It’s just adam. He’s always going to be him and it’s clearly affecting you. I can’t go through this again.

Sally: What are you saying?

Tucker: I just don’t want any more chaos in my life. Just peace and quiet.

Devon: Well, I hope that’s true.

Tucker: You can count on it.

Devon: I have another question for you. What’s your connection to aunt mamie?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ] Hey, michael. Hey. I wasn’t expecting to see you today. Well, it’s kind of a last-minute kind of thing. Well, must be important if you decided to come all the way down here instead of call me. Is that a problem? No, no, just — just, uh, unusual. Well, you know, maybe I’m trying to be a little more spontaneous in my old age. So, uh… what brings you here? Well, I know I shouldn’t be asking this, but… I need a favor that only you can do for me. Hey, anna. Hi. Oh, there you are. Hello. Appreciate you meeting me. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. I have to say, I was a bit surprised by the invite. You know, I’ve been looking out for you since the shooting at the metro court. Yeah. I appreciate that. I’m being very cautious. I — one eye over my shoulder, because apparently, I’ve got a target on my back now. Has anything happened? Like threats or anything like that? No. That’s good — good to hear. Is that why you asked to see me? Because you want to check up on me? No. I just want to let you know that I’m gonna be gone for a few days. If you need anything — and I mean anything — you know, I’m just a phone call away. I cannot remember how long it’s been since you have visited me at my office. This must be really important. What did I do to deserve this visit? It’s not what you’ve done. It’s what you’re gonna do. You see, typically when someone wants me to do a favor for them, they ask me nicely and say, “please.” What do you need? Put this paper to good use… and save a man’s life. Just tell me when and where, and I’m there. That’s my girl. I’m actually really excited about it. Yeah. And after everything you’ve done for me lately, how could I possibly say no? Thank you. Uh… I know I could always count on you. Wow. Well, that is not something I hear every day, and it’s so nice. Hey, diane, can, uh, you give me a call? I just want some kind of an update on when they plan on taking drew back to pentonville.

[ Knock on door ] Um…I-I just need to know. Thanks. Hey. Hey, carly. Um, I know this must be difficult for you. I mean, nobody wants drew to go back to prison. I mean, I keep hoping diane’s gonna call and tell me that she’s figured out some kind of loophole to stop drew from going back there, but… and you know that we’re looking into the judge to see if we can find some kind of bias, but that seems to be a long shot. So, I don’t know. Yeah, she’s doing everything she can. There’s nobody more tenacious than diane. The girls are in school. You know that. So, you must be here to see me. You guessed right. Okay. Please tell me this isn’t bad news. Please. Well, it — it kind of depends on your perspective. That’s cryptic. What’s going on? Uh, nina and i are eloping.


[ Knock on door ] Hi. I, uh, came by to see if things were any better with charlotte. Nina, come in. Oh, this place, valentin, is so beautiful. Charlotte must be so thrilled to finally be in her own home with her dad. What’s wrong? What happened? Who’s the suit? Oh, it’s a gift from sonny. Can you send it back? No. Well, tell me, where does sonny get off sending a goon over here to keep an eye on you? He has a very caring side. Yeah, so did attila the hun. He was worried about me, and he wanted to offer me protection, uh, which I refused, first of all, but I didn’t think I needed it. And now you do? I changed my mind. Did something happen? What? Other than the recent disturbing events? No. And nothing has happened in the last 24 hours since I’ve had protection. And, so you’re living in the metro court? Yeah. Until I move into the new place. Valentin has bought a house for us. Uh, w-wait. When did you go house hunting? I didn’T. He bought the house on his own. Heh. Eh, well, he could have at least made you part of the process.

[ Chuckles ] Unless, of course, you think he’s hiding something. He’s always hiding something. But the house isn’t part of that. You know, this was really meant to be a surprise. Mm. And he is nothing if not full of those.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, he certainly is. How’d it go with sonny? How did you know he was — you know, esme has to quit sharing every visitor that comes into my office. And it’s not that I have anything to hide. It’s just she needs to learn a little discretion. Esme is not to blame. When a notorious coffee importer shows up here, people tend to talk, and usually in hushed tones. Sonny’s good fodder for the water cooler. Mm-hmm. Well, they’re gonna be very disappointed because he just came to ask for a favor. Nothing illegal, I hope. Mnh-mnh. He wanted to see if “the invader” could help leverage judge albert kim. Eh, he’s the judge that sentenced drew cain to three years in pentonville. What outcome is sonny hoping for? Carly thinks the judge’s sentence was unnecessarily harsh, and we’re hoping maybe we could get the sentence reduced or at the very least, have him moved to a safer facility. Just how does sonny suggest you do that? That’s what we have to figure out. Wow. Eloping, huh? What happened to the big blowout wedding you were planning? Well, I wasn’t planning the wedding. I just told nina she could do whatever she wants with the wedding. I know olivia was helping. Was that tough for you? No. I’m a big girl, you know? Olivia can do what she wants, and we’re too close for something like that to bother me. Well, there’s just so many details, and, you know, things like that. A w-wedding should be about a celebration, not a deadline. Just surprising considering all the noise nina was making about, you know, her big wedding celebration. Well, you know what? Uh, we’re just going to fly down to the island. It’s not gonna be a big deal. It’s gonna be a small ceremony. It’s just, uh… me and nina and whatever kids are — are able to go. Kids. That’s why you’re here? Well, I-I would love if donna could go. It would, you know, mean everything, if you’re okay with that.


Nina, I’m lost. I am just totally lost. Charlotte and i used to be so close, and now I feel like I don’t even know her. Yeah. I know. This must be so difficult for you. Not just me. She’s gonna need professional help. I’ve been trying to find her a therapist. Well, it might take you a while to find someone because she’s in a very serious situation, valentin. You’re gonna have to find the doctor who’s the right fit. I’ve always been able to talk to you, haven’t I? I mean, no matter how raw it gets, you understand me, don’t you? Better than anybody. Probably even anna. I don’t know how it got this way. I mean, this is my little girl we’re talking about. We are going to figure this out, okay? Together. Where is charlotte now? She’s on a bike ride. That’s why I’m doing research and making phone calls. So, you haven’t said anything to her? No, I-I-I just don’t know what I would say if she lied to me, if she denied it. I mean, I don’t know how I would react. Why is this happening? Did I do something to make her act out like this? You told dad what? I explained that I couldn’t go to the wedding, but I’d go to the next one. Okay, that’s not even funny, dante. I’m just kidding. So, you are gonna go? You didn’t turn him down? No, I’m not kidding about that part. I’m telling the truth about that part. I don’t — you have to come. Seriously. Dad asked you to be his best man, didn’t he? Uh, yeah, he did, and I’m honored. I just — I-I can’t go away right now. Right. No, I — that I do get, ’cause the pcpd softball team — I’m sure they really need their star pitcher. Ha-ha-ha. Very funny. Yeah, they probably do, but, no, I just got a lot of stuff going on here. Well, what stuff is more important than dad’s wedding? Charlotte was living with us, now she’s moved out. Uh, scout’s father, drew — we’re dealing with the fact that he’s behind bars. It’s been tough on her. I mean, my job is — look, you seem more annoyed than sonny did. He — he took this a lot better than you. I-I just think you should come, and I-I think it’s important that we be there to support dad. I agree. But dad knows I support him. We’ve had our ups and downs. He knows — he knows I’m behind him and nina’s relationship. Alright. Well, nothing can keep me away. Well, that’s good. You’ll be representing. I don’t think I’ll be the only one, actually. Oh. Dad asked michael to come. Really? Yeah. Well, that’s big, considering the place they’re in. What did michael say? Excuse me. How can I help you? I’m looking for my wife, willow corinthos. She’s a nurse here. Um, I think she’s still on break, but let me check for you. Okay, thank you. I’ll wait here.

[ Exhales sharply ] I wanted to tell you in person. Well, usually when somebody says that, it’s not good news. Well, it’s good news for me, at least. Nina and I are eloping. We’re going down to the island. Oh. Um… well, I-I guess congratulations are in order. Michael, I know times have been tough this past year, but I think we’ve moved past that, haven’t we? Yeah, I mean, everything that happened to willow helped me realize how important family is. Yeah, but nina is your family, so, I mean… I know there’s been a strain between you two, but — yeah, that’s an understatement. But she’S… …she’s tried to really make an effort between you and willow, and nothing would make her happier than spending time with amelia and wiley. Look, I-I have to admit, things have been better with nina. You know, she– she’s trying to respect our boundaries. Nothing would mean more to nina than to have willow at that wedding, and it would mean a lot to me to have you there. So, is there any chance that… you’ll go? This is not your fault. I-I-I wish I had the answers. She is a teenage girl, and teenage girls can be very complicated. This is the cassadine curse, isn’t it? None of this godforsaken family gets to be happy. Please, valentin, do not go there. This is — has nothing to do with a curse, okay? You and charlotte are not doomed. She’s an adolescent who got herself into trouble. She’s struggling, but we will get her help. So overwhelming.

[ Sighs ] I’m sure anna’s been supportive. What does she think? I haven’t told her. I mean, how am I going to tell her that my daughter is the one who’s been tormenting her? You know, if charlotte’s the one who set the fire, she’s going to be facing very serious criminal charges. Mm. Well, we just have to be very grateful that no one was in the house. I mean, if charlotte did do this, she made sure of that. Is that supposed to make me feel better? I’m — I’m just making the point, valentin. She’s not trying to hurt anna. She’s not a murderer. She’s just crying out for help. No, it’s more than that. She’s terrorizing the woman that I love, and I’m trying to keep that from escalating, but am I doing the wrong thing by not telling anna? Y-you know how much donna loves weddings. Of course she can go. Thank you. Because you know how happy she was at michael’s wedding. Yeah. Hopefully both girls can go. Well, that’s the plan. Have you talked to ava? Because avery wouldn’t want to miss it. I called ava. She hasn’t, uh, gotten back to me yet, but I hope there’s no problem there, because it would not be the same without avery. Well, it looks like you thought of everything for your tropical ceremony. Well, you know, um… I’m trying, you know? I think I covered all the bases. Oh, no, wait. That favor that you asked for drew? I’m working on it. Well, let’s hope it comes in time to save drew. Are you sure you want to get into this? I mean, I’ve heard a lot of stories about people who do sonny’s bidding, and sometimes, it doesn’t end well. You think? I’m very well aware of the “methods” sonny uses to handle things. This time, he would like it handled legitimately. Are you sure you and sonny don’t share any similarities? Why, I think I am offended, professor chase. No. I-I don’t know sonny well, but from what I hear, he has a reputation for ruthlessness. I know firsthand how ruthless you can be when it comes to the pursuit of truth in journalism. Really? Do go on. I’m just saying that y-you’re a force of nature when it comes to business, and that’s — that’s a good thing, by the way. This is really very entertaining, watching you try to dig yourself out of the hole you just dug yourself into. Trying to compliment me after you call me ruthless? That is some fancy footwork. Well, unfortunately, that’s the only footwork I’m still capable of these days.


I know that he wants to make peace with dad. There’s definitely been a lot less tension lately. Yeah, but that’s a far cry from michael attending the wedding. But, you know, they have to start somewhere if they want to get back to where they were. Well, I don’t know if they’ll ever get back to where they were, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction. So, is michael going to the wedding or not? I don’t know. I hope so. But I’ll tell you one thing — I am not excited to be on an island with him and nina for the next few days. Wait, I thought you were team nina? I am. I like nina. A lot. Most importantly, dad loves her, but I haven’t forgotten what she did to michael and willow. That’s some serious damage, and we both know how our brother holds a grudge. Yeah, kind of just like dad. Dad. Yeah. Hey, blaze. Hey, kristina. Hi. Oh, this is my brother, dante. We meet again. Michael: I cannot give you an answer right now until I talk to willow first. I get it. I-I just hope that willow does this for nina, because the — the ceremony wouldn’t be the same without wiley there, right? She wants wiley to be the ring bearer, like he was at your wedding, because he’s — he’s — he’s a pro now. Yeah, yeah. Um… it’s just, uh, willow has a lot going on right now and she — she just got back to work. Uh… I’m not sure she’s gonna want to drop all that and — and get on a plane. Okay, I just — I just want you to think about it. Michael, I heard you were looking for me. Is everything alright? Did something happen with the kids? I just don’t know what to do. We can’t involve the police. No, no, valentin, we are not bringing the police into this. She’s a — she’s a teenager. She’s 15 years old. Okay? If — if — if she did do this and the police find out, they will send her away. No, you cannot let that happen. We’re just gonna — we’re gonna have to handle this ourselves. And how are we gonna do that? We’re gonna find another way to get through to charlotte. Hey. We’re not giving up on her.

[ Chuckles ] You know, I’ve always appreciated your support. Well, even though we went our separate ways, valentin, I will always care about you and charlotte. I love her.

[ Voice breaking ] I don’t know what I’d do without your help. Yeah, about that. Um… well, you’re gonna have to deal with this on your own. That’s why I came by, to tell you. I’m leaving town. So, I think valentin feels that this house is a way for him to focus on his daughter. You know, charlotte, he feels, needs a more stable environment. She’s had a very tough year. Weren’t you telling me that victor is keeping her at a boarding school? Right, and then when she did finally come home, she’s been bouncing from house to house. First it was laura’s, and then it was sam and dante. That’s not to say that they weren’t there for her, but, you know, very supportive, but she’s 15, and along with that age comes anxiety and insecurity. Yeah. Mac was having a problem with robin like that. Charlotte needs her father’s undivided attention. I totally understand that, you know? I think maybe valentin feels providing a house for her is the first step in putting her on more solili meantime, you’re roughing it in a hotel. Well, god, I mean, I don’t call room service roughing it. I thought you didn’t want me with valentin. I don’T. However, you should have the final choice on where you live. Okay, so, why don’t we just agree to disagree when it comes to the subject of my relationship with valentin? Okay. So, I asked you here because I need your help. With? Something crucial.


Uh, I paid alexis a visit and suggested she look into the matter for us. You suggested? Well, I got — you know, pretty much politely demanded, is more of a way of saying it. I told her she needs to use that paper and her investigation skills to look into judge kim, because we have to figure out why he gave drew such a harsh sentence. Sonny, we need to do more than look into judge kim. We’ve got to get the judge to commute drew’s sentence or send him to a safer facility. I mean, does alexis understand that? Okay, alexis knows that the goal is to get drew out of pentonville, but it’s not gonna happen overnight. First thing she needs to do is a deep dive into kim’s record. We have to figure out what makes him vulnerable, and then we have an opening. You think alexis is gonna come through? I am confident that she’ll deliver for us. Sorry. That was meant to be a joke, but clearly it didn’t land. You have every right to handle your disease any way you see fit, and if you want to joke about it, joke about it. Go for it. You don’t have to edit your words with me. I’m gonna follow your lead. I feel like I’m constantly thanking you for being understanding, but thank you again. You don’t need to keep thanking me or apologizing. Well, what’s that quote from that movie? “Friendship means never having to say you’re sorry.” I think that’s “love means…” I just… you just don’t need to keep thanking me. I still haven’t told chase. I know you keep telling me to wait until I’m ready, but when will that be? I can’t keep hiding behind my work here, and I wake up some mornings so determined to go over there and tell him the truth, but then I find myself here instead. And I used to lecture my students about procrastination, tell them putting off that term paper won’t make it any easier. This is a little bigger than a homework assignment. Look, you’re gonna tell chase when you tell chase. I’m just being selfish. I just want more time with my son before he looks at me with pity, only sees the disease and not his father. Well, I think you’re wrong, and I don’t think he’s gonna react that way at all, but — but, you know, you’ll — you’ll do what feels right for you, and I-I’m not judging you. Speaking of judges, how are we gonna handle judge kim? Hey, good to see you again. Nice to see you, too. Oh, dante was my hero at the nurses’ ball. Oh. I don’t like to brag.

[ Chuckles ] Since when?

[ Chuckles ] Often. Mm. After brook lynn outed linc on stage, dante grabbed him and dragged him out of the metro court. Nice work, detective. Just doing my job, ma’am. Oh, that’s right. I almost forgot. My brother, the knight in shining armor.

[ Chuckles ] And don’t think I forgot how nice you were the day we ran into each other at kelly’S. Oh — oh, yeah. Wow. That was — that was a few months ago. No, we, uh — we saw blaze a-at — at kelly’s, and — and rocco had been watching her music videos. He was a big fan, and then I saw you guys at rice plaza. You guys were great, but you were so gracious to us. Thanks. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Well, you two are practically bffs. Who would have guessed that? No, no, everyone’s fine, okay? Sorry. I didn’t mean to worry you. Oh… well, it must be something important for you to come all the way to gh. Yeah. Look, I, uh… wanted to tell you that sonny paid me a visit earlier, and, um… apparently, he and nina are eloping in puerto rico. Okay. Uh, the last time I spoke to nina, she was knee-deep in wedding planning. It sounded like a huge event here in port charles. I guess she changed her mind. Does this mean we get out of going to the wedding?

[ Chuckles ] No, no. No such luck. Um, we’re definitely on the guest list. Sonny wants us to fly down to puerto rico. You’re leaving town? It’s just for a few days. Don’t worry. And I-I feel silly talking about it, given everything that you’re going through, but sonny and I — we’re going to puerto rico. We’re eloping. You’re — you’re eloping? Yeah. I thought you were having a big wedding at the metro court? Yeah, well, that was the plan, but it got complicated, and it was really stressful, and we just want to get married as soon as possible, and the best solution was to have a small ceremony on sonny’s island. Well, if that’s what you want, I’m happy for you. Hey. You can always call me. I’m not gonna call you. I’m not gonna interrupt your wedding. I sure don’t need sonny after me. Besides, laura’s coming back from london and we’re gonna figure out what to do with charlotte together. Papa? Are you keeping things from me?


You know I’m gonna do whatever you want, so what do you need? Alright. Let’s just look at the recent events, starting with the shooting at the pool. I think that bullet was meant for sonny, not me. He’s got his fair share of enemies. Well, so do I, but I think I’m being targeted in a completely different way. I don’t follow. Alright. After the shooting at the pool, my house was torched, and then my room here was vandalized. Now, what does that tell you? Your enemy’s toying with you. They’re trying to break you down, you know? What do you want to do about that? Charlotte? You didn’t tell me nina was coming over. I was putting my bike away, and I saw her car out front. Oh, I’m so happy to see you. Hey, come here. It’s so nice to see you. How are you? Much better now that I’m living with papa. Yeah, it’s a beautiful place. Are you settling in okay? Yeah. Everything’s perfect. Can you stay and have lunch with us? Uh — uh — no. I’m so sorry. I-I just came over to, um, tell your dad that I was leaving town for a few days. Sonny and I are going to puerto rico. Cool. I wish papa and I could take a trip with you some day. Yeah, I’m not s-sure that a-anna would be so thrilled with that. Yeah, I know, but I was just thinking how great it would be if we could go to europe. Remember, we used to always talk about doing that? That’s right. That is — that is right. Hey, how about this? Why don’t we plan a girls trip, just you and me? And you know what? Maybe I can convince maxie to allow georgie to come with us. You — you like georgie, right? Yeah. I used to see her a lot when my mom was still here, but I’d rather just go alone with you if papa can’t come with us. Yeah. It’s a deal. I love you, nina. Oh, I love you. Alexis: [ Sighs ] Looks like judge kim has a number of high-profile cases. His opinions he wrote for his decision read like bait for a promotion. Can you elaborate on that for those of us that didn’t attend law school? From what I can tell, it seems like he’s trying to impress the judicial board in hopes of a higher appointment. And how does he go about that? Yeah, when judges are trying to climb the ladder, they set new precedents, and they do that with their opinions, and what they want is for those precedents to be appealed and upheld. So, in simpler terms, it looks like judge kim is trying to get the attention from those above him, and if that’s the case, then maybe we can help him do just that. Thank you, for everything you’re doing for drew’s case. Drew’s a good man. He doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him. And, I mean, him being in prison, it affects you, and no matter what has happened between us, you’re the mother of my children. I just want you to be happy. That means a lot. So, from all the research that diane has gathered, it looks like judge kim is hoping for a promotion to the federal bench. I’m thinking he’d be more than happy to meet with the press and cooperate. Yeah, that’s — that’s — that gives alexis a way in. That’s a good strategy. Yeah. It’s all we have for now. Do me a favor. Tell drew to sit tight ’cause I’m doing everything I can behind the scenes to get him out of there. I will. Hey, did you ever find out who austin was visiting in pentonville?


means that he’ll be about lawyers.

The look on your face,I’d say you have a plan. What are you thinking? My guess is this guy has an ego. Most judges do. I hear the same about lawyers. I’m not sure who’s worse.

[ Chuckles ] But what I think is this guy is really career-oriented. He wants to get ahead, which means that he’ll be very susceptible to the lure of publicity. And that’s where you come in. We call him in for an interview. We pump him up. We tell him that we’re interested in doing an article about his decisions, take some pictures, and hopefully, he’ll eat it up. And then you go in for the kill and ask him about drew’s sentence. Hmm. Good plan of attack, counselor. Like I said, ruthless. Unfortunately, we have no information on that yet. Uh, we don’t know who’s pulling the strings when it comes to austin and mason. And trailing betty didn’t turn up anything? Well, I had dex watching her every move, thinking that she would lead us to the boss, but, uh, that didn’t happen. We — we have somebody watching austin, and my guys are, you know, doing everything they can until I get back from the wedding. That’s what you should be concentrating on right now. Yeah, I know. And look, I’m gonna have donna all packed and ready to go. Can’t wait to see her face when I tell her. Please take a couple of pictures of her for me, okay? Okay. And let me know if you hear from ava, because she can just bring avery here and you can pick both girls up at the same time. Thanks. That — that means a lot. It’s been a painful couple years. Yeah. But I just want you to be happy, too. Yeah. I feel the same way. I’ll see you. Bye.

[ Door closes ] So, I am flying down to puerto rico later today for my dad’s wedding. Ooh, a destination wedding. How exciting. Well, they’re eloping. Thank god. Dante. What? No, I’m just telling it like it is. I think they’re being smart by — by keeping it a small family ceremony. Why do you say that? Because I feel like if they had a big wedding in port charles, they’d be asking for trouble. This is where you come in. I need your help because I am almost certain that this threat is coming from inside the wsb, someone with access to the bureau’s resources. You think this is the same person who outed you for being a double agent? I don’t know. I have my suspicions. I mean, just look at the timing. Think about it. None of this started until I was exposed in the press. It — it has to be connected. It has to be. It can’t just be a coincidence. This is revenge by someone who you wronged in a past case? Well, my actions back then hurt a lot of people. They might want payback. You haven’t been an active operative in years. Does somebody hold a grudge that long? I don’t know. I just really need your help in getting some information from inside the bureau.

[ Sighs ] Well, as I’ve said, my influence in there since frisco left is rather limited, and as for this new director, whatever influence I might have is gonna be

[Chuckles] Limited at best. Limited is better than non-existent. Please, will you help me? Find out what is going on and who is after me. It was so good to see you. Hey. Do you remember our handshake? Come on. Yeah. Do it. Alright, I’m gonna have to go to the gallery ’cause I’ve been trying to get ahold of ava with no luck, so I thought I would try her there. I miss you so much, nina. Please come over after your trip. I promise. Okay, see you soon. Okay. Thanks for coming. It meant a lot to charlotte. It’s good to see her smile. We’re gonna figure this out when I get back, okay?

[ Sighs ] Have a nice trip. Fly to an intimate wedding? It would be one thing if it was 200 guests at the metro court. Then we’d be able to blend into the background. But this… yeah, it would just be family, so we’d be front and center. I mean, I know I’ve been pushing you lately to accept nina, but this is a lot. You finally made peace with your dad and nina. It’s — it’s so new. Yeah, so do we really want to put it to the test? Charlotte… what happened to you?

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey. How’s my bride to be? I’m okay. You don’t sound okay. What’s wrong? It’s just — it’s been an emotional day.

[ Clears throat ] Where are you? Uh, I’ve been all over town doing things, but I’m finished now. I’m all yours.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s all I’ve ever wanted. Well, you better get packing. We’re getting married.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, we are.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: I’m, uh… I’m sorry to get emotional.

Finn: Oh, hey, there’s nothing to apologize for.

Hope: Well, I appreciate it. It’s been, uh… it’s been hard just trying to keep my head above water and… with that being said, hey, I didn’t mean to get into everything here.

Finn: No, hey, I totally understand. Look, Steffy, she went through the exact same thing. I think that’s one of the reasons you allowed yourself to turn to Thomas. It’s because he is totally committed to you, and only you. But, like I said, I think you can do better than Thomas.


[ Deacon laughing ]

Sheila: Are we really engaged?

Deacon: Yeah, well, you made me work for it before you said yes. There we go. All right. Breakfast of champions.

Sheila: Mm…

Deacon: Oops.

Sheila: You got that?

Deacon: All right. Yup. Cheers.

Sheila: Cheers.

Deacon: Mm. Mmm!

Sheila: Mm. Mmm!

Deacon: That’s good.

Sheila: You know why I didn’t say yes immediately.

Deacon: Yeah, ’cause you were worried about my relationship with Hope.


Ridge: This showdown is gonna stay intimate. Just a few select buyers that won’t know that this is a competition. Dad and I, we’re gonna roll out just a handful of new designs, and whoever sells the most wins, and that line goes into production. Easy peasy.

Carter: Yes, easy peasy. Sounds very thorough. You see this?

Ridge: The diamonds?

Carter: Mm-hmm.

Eric: Well, you got my order, huh?

Ridge: Yeah. You don’t think you’re going overboard a little?

Eric: Donna, look. You see that look in his eyes?

Donna: Mm-hmm.

Eric: He’s picturing all of his designs, wondering if any of them could possibly compete with my opulence.

Ridge: Or maybe, you see, he’s picturing how jewel tones will destroy classic opulence–

Eric: You know, classic never goes out of style.

Donna: You should know.

Eric: Thank you, darling. See? She understands. Look, when I come out on top, you will have learned your lesson. That nothing and no one can hold back Eric Forrester.


Luna: I, um… I don’t think that line can get any darker. What’s going on?

RJ: Nothing.

Luna: It’s your grandfather, isn’t it?

RJ: Yeah. I spoke to my Aunt Donna, and she says, uh… the situation with my granddad is a lot worse than I thought.


Luna: Look, I don’t mean to pry, and you don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to.

RJ: No. No, no, it’s not that, it’s– come on, I meant it when I told you that I trusted you. I do, okay? It’s just this is– this is a lot. My granddad’s doctor says that it’s cerebrovascular disease or TIA’s. Mini strokes.

Luna: I’m so sorry. Does anyone else know?


Eric: You, uh, you think you’re gonna be ready?

Ridge: Oh, I know I’m gonna be ready.

Carter: Here we go.

Donna: Uh-huh.

Eric: Jewel tones. That’s an interesting choice.

Ridge: He’s not gonna get in my head.

Eric: I’m not trying to get into your head. It’s just jewel– I said jewel tones are an interesting choice.

Ridge: Yes, says the man who can’t design anything without French lace.

Carter: It’s like they’re the same person.

Donna: Seriously.

Eric: French lace is wonderful. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Ridge: Exactly. Don’t fix it. The hands of the master.

Eric: There you are.

[ Carter laughs ]

[ Donna laughs ]


Sheila: What do you think? Should we save this cork?

[ Deacon chuckles ]

Sheila: What?

Deacon: No, I just I didn’t peg you for a sentimentalist.

Sheila: Okay, forget it.

Deacon: No! Hey, hey! Oh, you almost made it. Uh, no, look, it’s a good thing, you know? Um, chalk it up to the new you.

Sheila: You know, it really means a lot to me that you really believe I’m a changed woman. I just… I want Finn to see that too. I want him to believe it.


Finn: I don’t know where things are with you and Thomas, and I’m not asking, but look, I do know that he’s done a lot of messed up things to you in the past. And maybe Ridge and Taylor and Steffy, maybe they’re all right, you know? Maybe Thomas has changed. Maybe he’s new and reformed, and that would be wonderful. But it doesn’t change the fact that you are an incredible person who deserves better than Thomas.


Eric: This never gets old, being back in my office again.

Ridge: Well, why don’t you sit down, relax, take the weight off. Enjoy yourself.

Eric: Oh, I will. After I beat you in the fashion challenge and take back what’s rightfully mine, never to relinquish it again. So, Carter, you’ll make sure that those orders go through?

Carter: Already approved.

Eric: Good.

Donna: Honey Bear, um, we should probably get home if you want to make that meeting.

Eric: Yeah. Yeah, thanks. Time’s running out, Ridge.


Luna: So, Eric hasn’t gotten, like, an official diagnosis yet?

RJ: Donna says they still need to run more tests, but I went online and I looked up possibilities, which you should never do, but I did. And, uh, it’s not good. My granddad’s situation’s a lot worse than when he told me it was just arthritis.

Luna: You know, staying positive can do wonders. I really believe that. For both your mental and physical health.

RJ: I’m trying to.

Luna: I– I mean, for your– for your grandfather. I think he’s got the best setup for it. You know, with– with Donna, she’s always so cheery and loving with him, and you helping him with his collection. You’re keeping him excited and motivated about the future. He’s so lucky to have you, RJ.


Sheila: I’m just saying, maybe this engagement will help Finn to see that I’m not unlovable.

Deacon: Wait a second. You didn’t accept my proposal so that–

Sheila: No, daddy.

Deacon: All right.

Sheila: No, I didn’t. These are two separate things.

Deacon: Okay, just checking. Making sure.

Sheila: But really, it… it might help him see that I am loveable. I do want a second chance with him. I don’t want him to think that I’m the monster that Steffy and the Forresters make me out to be.

Deacon: Okay, well, then, as your fiancé, I vow to do everything I can to make that happen.


Finn: All I’m saying is I think whatever you see in Thomas is because you’ve been deprived of a man who is thoroughly and totally committed to you.

Hope: Okay, well, reality check appreciated.

[ Both chuckling ]

Hope: Uh, but I do think if we are being honest here with each other, I mean, those divided feelings, that cycle that I’ve talked about being a part of for so long. I mean, like you said, Steffy has felt that way too, and she’s always going to have that tie to Liam, um… and I’m not– I’m not saying that you guys are having troubles. Steffy’s smart, and she is insightful. And I cannot imagine her taking your love and your commitment for granted.


Hope: Well, I– I guess I have to thank Kelly for losing her pillow ’cause, uh, this is actually– it’s been nice talking to you. Refreshing. I feel like you understand what I’m going through.

Finn: You’re gonna be all right. You are all right. And you are a strong, compassionate, incredible, beautiful person. And working through this, it’s gonna take some time and energy and it’s emotionally draining, but once you’re on the other side of it, you’re not gonna be sorry. Hey, and at least you already know your own worth. You do. You deserve a man’s whole heart. And he’s out there, Hope. It’s just not Thomas.


Carter: What?

Ridge: What? Here I was so worried about my dad and it seems like it was all for nothing.

Carter: What do you mean?

Ridge: What do you mean what do I mean? You saw him. He’s doing great. He’s at the top of his game.


Donna: Here, let me help. Here, let me help you, please. It’s okay. Here.

Eric: “The hands of a master.” [ Chuckles ] Thank you.

Donna: You’re welcome. That’s okay.

[ Eric grunting ]

Donna: These hands of yours belong right here, okay?

[ Eric chuckling ]

Donna: Right here. We’re gonna get you help, okay? We can get the best doctors in L.A., And, um, nothing is gonna hold you back.

Eric: No, nothing will. Nothing’s gonna keep me from creating this crowning achievement of my career. Nothing.

[ Eric coughing ]

Donna: Are–

[ Eric exhales sharply ]

Eric: It’s all right. It’s nothing. It’s nothing.

[ Both chuckling ]

Eric: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Here, come here. Come here. Come here.


Luna: It’s obviously weighing on you, your grandfather’s condition. I mean, whatever it ends up being. And the fact that he asked you to keep it from everyone? I mean, carrying a big secret like this is a real burden. I know how it feels.

RJ: What are you? You CIA? Are you deep cover? Is that it? Is that what this all is?

Luna: Oh, my god. [Laughs] No, I just– I just gotta say how lucky I feel. I mean, getting this internship? It’s always been my dream to work at Forrester. I never thought I’d be working here, let alone be helping Eric Forrester! I mean, what? I’m just really grateful for this opportunity. And especially getting to work with you and getting to know you better.


Finn: Hey, Deacon.

Deacon: Finn. Thanks for coming.

Finn: Uh, yeah. I got your text. What’s– what’s up?

Deacon: It’s about Steffy.

Finn: It’s about Steff– what’s– I’m all ears.


Donna: You know, I can’t believe how free and easy you were with Ridge earlier. I mean, here I am trying to cancel this whole stupid competition. You know, relax with you, enjoy ourselves, and you’re– you’re joking with your son.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Telling him that time is running out.

Eric: Uh-huh, uh-huh.

Donna: Eric, what kind of dark humor is that?

Eric: Donna, I’m gonna live ’til I die, all right? And I’m gonna enjoy every moment of it, and I think laughter is a much better way to live all of the years and days that I have left. I’m gonna laugh when– when I get the company back from Ridge, and– and I’m gonna laugh when I prove my relevance to him again. And I can only do this because of you… and how much you love me. I love you, too.

Donna: I love you so much.

Eric: Come here. Come here.


[ Phone chiming ]

Luna: One of your millions of followers?

RJ: Hey, there’s only one I’m interested in talking to right now. It’s receiving and they need a couple signatures, so I’ll be right back, okay? Hey, I, um, I wanna say thank you for what you said to me earlier. It means a lot to me. I hope you know that. I’m happy you’re here at Forrester, too.


[ Phone ringing ]

Luna: It’s not a good time.

Woman: When is it a good time? You haven’t been answering my calls.

Luna: Yeah, because I’m busy, Mom. I’m sure this could’ve been a text.

Mother: You have to leave right away. Come home. You can’t be in Los Angeles. I know what you’re doing.

Luna: I’m– I’m– I’m not doing anything.

Mother: You definitely can’t be at Forrester Creations!

Luna: I’m– I’m not.

Mother: It’s on the company website! “Welcome new interns!” You get why you can’t do this. How my sister will react? With Finn? You know your Aunt Li will let you have it.

Luna: I don’t care, Mom.

Mother: And what about Finn?

Luna: I mean, I told you. I’m following my dreams.

Mother: It is only a matter of time before you’re found out. It’ll all come to a crashing halt.

Luna: I gotta go.

RJ: Hey, told you it wouldn’t take long. What’s– what’s going on? What’s wrong?


Finn: You deserve a man’s whole heart. And he’s out there, Hope. It’s just not Thomas.


Finn: You called me over here about Steffy?

Deacon: Yeah. Uh, I know that she took the kids and she went to Europe.

Finn: Yeah, because of Sheila. I mean, she doesn’t feel safe here with Sheila on the loose.

Deacon: Well, that’s completely understandable given what happened in the alley.

Finn: Look, you have no idea how badly I want my wife and the kids to come back, so if you know something, Deacon, if you know something about Sheila, if you know–

Deacon: I do. I do.

Finn: Then tell me. I– I– I need to get my wife back.

Deacon: Finn, what if I told you that I could help the situation? What if I told you that I could ensure that Sheila would never be an issue, not for you, not for Steffy? I– know, I know. She’s a free woman, but she’s not gonna harm anyone.

Finn: What are you talking about?

Deacon: I think you have a pretty good idea about my checkered past. I’ve made a lot of mistakes, big ones, and I wound up incarcerated. But you know what? I turned my life around. I mean, look at this place look at it. It’s– it’s a huge success.

Finn: That’s great. What’s does that have to do with Steffy?

Sheila: Hi, baby.

Deacon: I told you I wanted to talk to you about your mom.

Finn: What’s going on?

Sheila: What’s it look like, sweetheart?

Finn: No. What? No, what, you and Deacon?

Sheila: I– I have struggled my whole life. I have struggled to fit in and get ahead. To try and find someone that truly cared for me, accepted me. And I– I’ve finally found that someone.

[ Finn scoffing ]

Sheila: Someone who loves me. I’m happy. I am so happy. And I just– I hope that you can be happy for me, too.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, good. I caught you before you left. What are you doing here? I was about to change. I have an important meeting at DiMera’s today. Is that what you’re wearing? Just get out of here, okay? It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing because I am the one that’s going to be sitting in that meeting. Excuse me.

Well, now that Maggie kicks me out of Titan, the only place for me to be is by my son’s side.

That’s better.

Oh, Maggie. What are you doing here?

Hello? Hi, can I get some service, please? My boyfriend is lying in bed with a gunshot wound. Who do you have to screw around here to get a pillow fluffed?

Phew.

You. Oh, thank God. You’re finally awake. I could kill you for worrying me like that.

You bastard. Mr. DiMera, I hope you don’t mind your butler let me in. Of course not. I take it you’re here with some follow up questions regarding Dimitri’s shooting. Actually, just one. Why did you lie to me?

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

Well, hello, Leo. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Don’t you hello, Leo me. I know what you did. Excuse me? Save it! Gwen told me about your diabolical plan to kill my boyfriend.

Oh, I didn’t realize you were still here. Oh! Come back. No, no, no, no, no. Don’t rush off on my accounts.

And you went through with it! Even after Gwen promised me you’d called it off. I did call it off. Oh, please. What, are you going to tell me that you had a change of heart with Dimitri lying in a hospital bed? You talk a good game, Kristen. What about all the horrible things that you have done in your life that you have never actually killed anyone?

Not that I know of. Not personally, anyway. And I really don’t think

you’re going to start today. For some measly money.

I did not shoot Dimitri. I swear to you I didn’t. I don’t believe you. But even if I did, and it wasn’t you or Gwen that tried to kill him, then who the hell was it?

There, there, Gabriella. No need to worry your pretty little head about business. Now that Mother’s here, you can just lie in bed and eat bonbons. Just like the real housewives of Salem. Ah, that rapier alimane wit. Although I hate to disappoint you, Viv. But no matter how much you try to charm us with your humor and your generosity of spirit, you are not going to take my job.

Is that sinking in? And I also wouldn’t get too comfortable in this house either. Gabriela, now that you’re my, uh, New daughter in law. Can I give you a little maternal advice? This ought to be good. Don’t underestimate me. Quaking in my boots. Well, you should be because I’m not leaving this house unless it’s feet first.

That can be arranged. I’m staying here, and if you get in my way, you’ll regret it.

Like I said, my wife and I were upstairs when we heard a gunshot. We came down into this room and found my nephew Dimitri on the floor, bleeding. Then we saw the weapon, the one that I showed you. Yeah, I remember.

We dusted it for prints. We found Dimitri’s. But, you know, what was also interesting is that we also found your sister Kristen’s prints on them, too. Great. Mystery solved. It must have been Kristen who shot him. Except that she didn’t. You see, the prints, they don’t even matter. As it turns out, because you know why?

The bullet that the doctors dug out of Dimitri didn’t match this gun. Dimitri was shot with another gun.

You were shot. Isn’t really much of a surprise though, considering what an absolute dirtbag you are. It’s bound to happen eventually. Excuse me? Oh, come now, don’t tell me that the bullet’s suddenly giving you amnesia.

Okay, fine. I’ll remind you. Shall I?

You lied to me. And you got me to marry you. So that you could inherit the von Leutschner fortune, all the while having an affair with my best friend. And that was a despicable thing to do. Gwen, I am so sorry. Oh. You’re sorry, are you? You’re sorry just isn’t going to cut it.

For this room.

Sorry. I didn’t expect to see you here. Vivian, uh, certainly makes sure to mark her territory, doesn’t she? Oh my god, that woman. I can’t believe she surfaced again. Yeah, it’s always such fun when she does. But now that we know that Victor did, in fact, have a will, I had the distinct pleasure of ousting her out of both the house and the company and taking the job of CEO back.

Right. Well, I’m glad to hear that Vivian’s out of the picture, and I wish I could have been there to watch you kick her to the curb. But… But? Victor… My father, he left me in charge of Titan. What? No. Yes, yes, he did. When he named me in his will. Which I happen to have right here.

You brought Victor’s will? I thought in case I needed proof that I had been named CEO. But you haven’t. Victor didn’t name a CEO in his will.

The other 50 percent of my estate, including controlling interest in Titan, shall go to my son. Controlling interest. So you see, Victor may not have specifically named me CEO in this, but he clearly spelled out his wishes. But Alex, he spelled out his wishes when he was alive. He gave me the job. He could have given you the job, but he didn’t.

I mean, don’t you think if he would have wanted you to be CEO after his death, that he would have mentioned it? Maggie,

I don’t know. Maybe he was in a hurry when he made out the will. Maybe he didn’t think it was necessary because he gave me controlling interest. What else? Which means I am in control. Please, no, don’t fight me on this, Maggie. Really. I have considered my options very carefully. I want the job.

So Dimitri was shot with another gun. Is that how you want to play this, Mr. DiMera? Because if you know anything about what really happened to Dimitri, and you’re trying to hide it from me, believe me, I will get to the bottom of this, and I will not hesitate to lock you up. Jada, Jada, you cannot lock him up.

Okay, he had nothing to do with this. Oh, really? Yes, the person that shot Dimitri von Leuschner was Vivian Alamein, my mother in law.

Lipstick? Wallet? Where’s my gun?

Vivian shot Dimitri? Quit this.

I don’t know who shot Dimitri. And spare me the righteous indignation, will you? You are hardly in a position to judge anyone. Considering that when you were screwing my nephew, you were screwing over your so called best friend. Oh, God. I think that high horse you’re on is giving you the vapors. We both know you don’t care about Gwen, only your share of Dimitri’s inheritance, which you blackmailed him out of, by the way.

So spare me the concerned gal pal act, save it for your bratty little daughter. Although, I don’t even think she’d believe it. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go check on my boyfriend. Oh.

Gwen, darling, where did you find that? Darling, somebody left it out on a tray. Can you believe that? I mean, they really, really ought to be more careful. Because somebody could, um, really get hurt. And what are you planning to do with it? What do I plan to do with it? Um, I don’t know. I had a few ideas. I thought about what to do.

And then I remembered how Leo just wouldn’t shut up about that magic penis of yours.

So I thought, perhaps I could work a little bit of magic of

my own and make it disappear.

Please Gwen, you don’t, you don’t, you don’t. You know, I was thinking, it’s been a while since I’ve seen the old MP myself. Now, I will admit that I was equally infatuated with it, although now I’m not really remembering why. Perhaps… It’ll refresh my memory. Um, Gwen.

There it is. It really is a thing of beauty, isn’t it?

Hmm. I suppose, besides the title and the money, of course, that thing of beauty is why Leo fell absolutely mad for you, although I think you would admit that that is a pretty shallow reason to fall in love with someone.

I wonder how lovable he would find you. If he and Matthew Perry there were no longer friends. Help! Help! Sure, sure. Help! It’ll only take a minute! Gwen,

what the hell are you doing? What the hell are you doing? I am telling the truth! Look, I know, I know you want to protect your mother, but you are my husband! If I have to choose between you and her, I’m gonna choose you every single time. I am not gonna let you go down for your out of control, gun toting, lunatic of a mother.

Okay, that is not fair. My mother may be out of control at times, but she is not gun toting. Uh, has anybody seen my gun?

Alex,

I understand that ever since you found out that your father isn’t Justin, that Victor was your father. Your world has been turned upside down. Yeah, it has. And I’m still dealing with that. But that doesn’t change the fact that Titan is my birthright. Victor told me a while back he thought I had a killer instinct.

He knew that I was cut out for the top job. And I know what I’m entitled to. Is this payback, Alex? Excuse me? I mean, when I fired you. I mean, now that the tables are turned, is this your retribution? No, Maggie, of course not. Yes, it’s true that I didn’t agree with some of the things that you were doing to run this place, but…

That’s not why I’m taking the job. I’m not trying to act out of retaliation. I’m taking the job because Victor… It was my father. And this is clearly what he wanted. She can’t…

You can’t give that to her. It’s my property. Mother, you are not helping your case. What case? Dimitri was threatening my son. He was threatening to kill him. I almost went through that once before. I couldn’t endure it again. Besides, it’s not illegal to shoot someone in self defense. Okay, what my mother is trying to tell you, in her own inimitable way, is the truth.

Yes, Dimitri was trying to kill me, and Gabby. And he likely would have, and we wouldn’t be standing here right now had my mother not intervened. And that is why I had a hard time turning her in. And we also want to press charges against Amitri von Bleichner. Yes, definitely. You’re willing to testify this?

Absolutely. Yes, we both will. We can corroborate each other’s story. Okay, well this might mitigate your attempted murder charge. However, you lied to the police, and possessing a gun is in violation of your parole. So, I will be speaking to your parole

officer.

John, listen to me. I saw her with my own eyes. Susan is alive. No, no, no. I know we’d all been meant to believe otherwise, but… Uh, yeah. I’ve got to go. Kate just walked in. I’ll get back to you. Bye. Hey, sorry to barge in like this. Your assistant said you were on a break, though. No, that’s quite all right. Um, did you hear about Susan?

Yeah, yeah, I did. She’s alive. That’s good for her. Um, I need to talk about Phillip. Is he alright? He’s fine. I’m not. He’s leaving town. Who’s Chloe Lin?

Wait a minute! Gwen! Gwen! Put down the scalpel! Look, I am sorry that you feel betrayed, but this is insane. I can’t let you hurt him.

This is gonna hurt you a lot more than it’s gonna hurt him. No, it’s gonna hurt us both. I mean, hurt us, it’s gonna destroy us. And it’s going to destroy you. You wouldn’t be able to live with yourself if you did what you’re about to do.

Gwenny, you are not a violent person.

I know that you have had a hard life. And like me, you have gone to extremes at times to get what you thought you needed or to get revenge against people who have hurt you. But this, this is cruel, and this is out of character for you. Because you are a kind and decent person. And looking at you now, about to inflict this kind of pain on someone?

About to ruin someone’s life in the most horrific way? Even that look in your eyes, Gwenny.

It’s like you’re not the person I know and love. It is breaking my heart. You have no heart. You know that isn’t true.

I am not trying to make excuses, Gwenny. I’m not trying to make excuses.

And I am miserable. A lot of the time. And people don’t know that because I use humor. To cover up how much I hate myself. You’re just trying to you. No, I’m trying to make you realize that I never meant to hurt you. Ever. It’s my desperate need for love that caused me to betray you. And you want to get back at somebody?

Get back at me. Because I hurt you more than Dimitri did. You got that right.

You were supposed to be my, my best friend.

And Dimitri, well, yes, I’m used to romances falling apart, but you, you…

We were supposed to be forever. I thought we were going to grow old together. I thought we were gonna comfort each other, I thought we were gonna make each other love. I thought so too.

And then I did what I always do. I don’t know if this is therapy speak, but I sabotaged myself. Because I felt like I had finally found love. Found a way to be happy. And that made me horribly selfish. So I sabotaged the only friendship that has ever meant anything to me.

I wish we had been honest with you from the start.

I guess I was just hoping, stupidly, so stupidly, that there was just some way we could all get what we wanted out of this.

I know that words are cheap, but I love you, Gwen. You have added so much to my miserable life. And maybe I didn’t tell you enough, maybe I never said it at all, but I have always felt so lucky to have you as a friend. To have you as an ally. And I would be willing to do whatever I had to do to make it up for you.

Please, please, tell me that you are willing to let me try.

Please.

I hope you’re rotten hell, both of you.

Alex, when I learned that you were Victor’s son, as upsetting as it was to you and Justin, it honestly did warm my heart. Because I thought, now that Victor is gone, I can be there for you. Because I, I know that’s what he, he would want.

Is there a point to this or the point? The point is, you’re important to me, Alex. You always have been, but now seeing my husband and you, it makes me feel even closer to you. But I also feel, uh, I believe that if he would have wanted you to be CEO, he would have made you CEO. Maybe he wants the two of us to work together.

Maybe he wanted us to, to be co CEOs. Yeah, I, I just don’t, I don’t see that working out very well, to be honest with you, Maggie. I mean, we don’t see eye to eye on the way we should run this business. So, you’d rather simply take my job? No, no, and that’s… I heard… Like I said, I don’t see it that way, but obviously you do, so I’m telling you right now, if you’re not willing to just give up, willingly, I have no other choice but to just bring it in front of the board, because with controlling interests, all I have to do to get them to remove you Jada

was accusing you! I told you, it’s either her or you! You. Oh, so now she gets charged with attempted murder. You hurt Jada? That’s off the table! Oh ho ho ho! So now it’s only that I was lying to the police and violating my parole. Lucky me! Well, you brought it on yourself, lady! Are you just gonna stand there and let this wife of yours throw your mother under the bus?

Hey, Mother, I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do about it now. Jada knows you violated your parole, and if she acts on what she found out here today, the U. S. Marshals are gonna be knocking down that door any second. Well, I don’t suppose there’s anything I can do other than leave town. Hallelujah!

Gwen, I got your message. Now, I know I gave you every reason to believe it was me, but I promise you I did not shoot Dimitri. Then who the hell did? Vivian Allemane. What? Why would Vivian shoot Dimitri? Apparently she walked in just as Dimitri was about to kill Stephan and Gabby. I’m here to arrest your husband.

Well, that’s the best news I’ve heard all day.

Calling a board meeting won’t be necessary. I’ll go. But I must say, I’m very disappointed. That I didn’t get through to you at all. I knew you were a womanizer. And that you tended to be grandiose. And somewhat full of yourself. But I didn’t think that you were so callous that you wouldn’t respond to what I said, which came from my heart about seeing Victor and you, how it moved me.

Look, Maggie, I’m not telling you that there’s no role for you at Titan. I’m going to need capable people. Yes, you will. But you’re right. Something tells me that you and I teaming up would work out about as well as it did the last time.

If you’ll excuse me, I need to read your husband his rights. Huh. Well, Dimitri’s

finally getting what’s coming to him. Yeah, well, he’s not the only one. Don’t you see what this means? We are going to get what’s coming to us, too. What are you talking about? Oh please, do I really need to spell it out to you? Apparently. Okay, okay, so listen. Dimitri is going off to Statesville. And someone is going to get the Von Leuschner fortune.

Wait. Gwen didn’t hurt you, did she? She came a little close for comfort. But, um, She didn’t draw any blood. How did this happen? Well, I had my gun trained on Gabby and Stephan. Then I heard a shot and felt a searing pain in my back. Wait a minute. Hm? You had a gun on Gabby and Stephan? You promised me you weren’t gonna do that.

I know, I know, and I meant it. After you left the mansion, I was ready to hand over the DiMera shares, but just before I was about to do it, Kristen walked in and pulled a gun on me. Kristen did this? No, no, no, she didn’t do this. Then who was it? Stefan’s mother. Vivian? I managed to get the gun away from Kristen.

I had it in my hand. Then Gabby and Stefan walked in acting all cocky. So you aimed the gun at them? It was an impulse move. And then Vivian walked in and shot me. Wait, if she shot you in the back, how did you know it was her? I guess I came to for a little while after that. Can you please focus on the fact that I nearly just…

I’m trying not to focus on that part.

But the important thing is that you are alive and now that the truth is out. We have nothing to worry about. Ahem.

I think it’s time the new Mrs. von Leuschner needs to pay her in laws a visit. Explain how poor, deranged Dimitri is going off to prison. Therefore, his new wife is entitled to his fortune.

You really think that would work? Well, why not? You’re still married to him, aren’t you? And you and Dimitri, you’ve fulfilled the conditions of the carter cell. Why shouldn’t they pay you? I’m not sure the von Leuschens would see it that way. Well then, you’ll have to persuade them. May take a little time.

And, uh, maybe a little fancy footwork. True, and I have always been good at thinking on my feet.

Yeah, I mean, honestly, there’s not really anything left keeping me here in Salem. I have the Spectator, of course, but that’s all tangled up with Xander, and honestly, that’s not a road that I want to go down again.

The only friend that I had was Leo, and, well, you

know how that turned out. Yeah, well, you always got me. Thanks, I think.

I don’t know, ever since I arrived here in Salem, it’s just been one bloody debacle after the other.

Maybe it’s time that I see what else is out there for me.

Perhaps a sizable inheritance.

Stefan, my dear boy, I would never leave you, but I have no choice. There you go. I think I’ll go back to Amania. It’s our home. It don’t worry about me. Whatever life throws in Vivian Al Lane’s way,

I will always rise like a phoenix. From the ashes.

So. Chloe and Philip are back together. No, I mean, I hope not. I mean Marlena, he got the help that he needed. He really did and he was doing so well, but it’s his obsession with Chloe that made him lose his mind in the first place. So. I mean, what if that happens again?

Philip is a grown man. And, and, Chloe must have believed that he’s changed or she never would have agreed to go to New York with him.

I suppose so. Okay, putting all of that aside. Honestly, I was really hoping that Philip was going to stay in Salem. Especially now, you know, and I suppose that was really, really silly of me to think that you know that he would want to be closer with me now because of losing his father.

Oh,

uncle Vic, I,

dad,

I really hope you’re not mad about Maggie.

But I don’t think you would have dangled this opportunity in front of me if you didn’t want me to grab the brass ring.

Detective Hunter, what can we do for you? Well, Mr. Stark, for once, this doesn’t concern you. Dimitri von Leuschner, you are under arrest for attempted murder.

Vivian’s gone. Thought she’d be saying goodbye to you for at least another hour. Honey, you’re really sad to see her go. You can’t tell me you were happy living with her in this house. It wouldn’t have been forever.

I’m pleased that was with the, the law on her tail. Look, I know she’s impossible. She’s my mother, and I feel bad for her. Yeah, that’s because you have a good heart. But that woman… Your mother? Misery follows her wherever she goes. Right. You may not see it right now, but trust me, I did you a huge favor.

Welcome to Global Airlines. You only travel in style. Better be careful. One never knows who one’s going to run into.

There’s my flight, it’s already boarding. Flight SK84 from Los Angeles has arrived at gate A57. Well, Salem.

Hasn’t always been fun, has it? Certainly been interesting.

There are things about you that I have loved. There’s also a lot of things I’ve hated.

I suppose you could say the same thing about me, though.

I promise you, it might be goodbye for now. You haven’t seen the last of this 16 from Geneva landed at number 8. Teresa! Teresa, would you hurry up already, please? Please proceed to baggage claims belt 2. Oh

you jets, I’m coming.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: Wow. You are a vision. How did I get so lucky?

Diane: You look at me like that and I start to blush. Wow, you’ve really outdone yourself, I can’t– I can’t wait to see what’s next.

Lily: What exactly are your intentions at chancellor-winters?

Jill: Yeah, actually, I’m pretty curious about that myself.

[ Mamie laughs ]

Mamie: Jill, jill, jill. Who but you would show up at a private party to which you were not invited? Well, I can’t really say that I’m that surprised, but, oh, how rude.

Jill: You see, it just– it all seemed a little wonky, this secret investor thing the way it played out, so I just had to come and see firsthand if it was indeed you, mamie, who bought into my company. And if so, why?

Mamie: Well, when this investment opportunity came to my attention, I just couldn’t refuse. Oh, come on, jill, it’s wonderful, isn’t it? To be able to support a successful business and to reconnect with my family?

Jill: Yeah, it’s just fabulous.

Mamie: Oh, it is. Look, I have an opportunity to be a strong presence in the life of my family again. Which is what I was just about to tell them when you flew in here.

Lily: Jill, I know that you two haven’t always gotten along, but we have missed aunt mamie so much.

Nate: It has been away too long since we’ve had her here. Video chats aren’t enough.

Mamie: Oh, my honeys. I’m really so happy to be able to connect with you too, being able to see you here, in person. Oh, come on, jill. Life is so fragile. I want to be with my family. I want to cheer them on, wanna watch them grow. We have to make up for the lost time, yeah?

[ All laughs ]

Jill: This is such a crock. There is something else going on underneath all this and I want to know what the hell it is.

Jill: Let’s be very clear here, mamie. There was no opportunity for you to invest in chancellor-winters. We weren’t looking for investors, you know. We were very happy as we are, right, devon, lily? Am I missing something here? Did we invite anyone in?

Devon: No, we did not.

Jill: So, it seems that this was a back alley deal. Something we should have been made aware of beforehand. And victor, god love victor. He was a silent, minority partner, who to my knowledge, had no desire at all to sell his stake to others and he certainly didn’t need the cash, so why? Why would he put up his stake for grabs?

[ Mamie chuckles ] Did you have any involvement in this?

Victoria: What? No. Absolutely not, I didn’t know until recently that my father was even interested in chancellor-winters. But that transaction wasn’t under my purview.

Abby: Me? No, no, no. I mean, everyone knows that I am totally out of the loop with everything happening at newman or any decision that my dad makes. It’s better that way, I think it makes life easier most of the time.

Jill: So why, mamie? Why all the secrecy, huh? Why the hand grenade disguised as a happy surprise?

Mamie: Oh, jill, you really love making something out of nothing. Like I made some kind of back alley deal.

Lily: Well, aunt mamie, you kind of have to admit, it was out of the blue. I mean, you were just here for the bicentennial gala. Why didn’t you tell us then that you had an interest in chancellor-winters or even right after that?

Mamie: Oh, sweetheart, I love it when you, all of you call me aunt mamie. I really miss being a regular part of your lives. I mean, isn’t that enough right there to explain all of this?

Devon: Sure, but you didn’t have to invest in the company to spend more time with us.

Nate: No one’s upset, aunt mamie. We’re all just surprised, but I think things are coming out a bit harsher than anyone means, right? It’s a loving gesture, you wanting to make the family close again. I think we can all appreciate that. We’ve been through a lot together this past year.

Devon: Yeah, we certainly have, and I can definitely appreciate you wanting to get the family together like this, but you need to know that he is not a part of chancellor-winters. He speaks for himself. He doesn’t speak for me and lily.

Lily: Yeah, devon is right. Because of nate, we are very wary of family making secret moves when it comes to the company.

Mamie: And that is exactly why I’m here. I want to make sure that we can put all of this animosity behind us. That is what drucilla and neil would want too. Life is just so short and it’s really precious. You know, love and family matter above all else. So, that’s why I’m here. Perhaps, I can help you to remember that.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Diane: Thank you for this. This special moment, just the two of us.

Jack: I asked abby if I could pay to close the place tonight for a private party. I waited ’til she said yes before I told her it was a private party for two. The place is all ours.

Diane: It’s amazing. You’re amazing.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Jack: May I have this dance?

Diane: I would love to dance with you. I can’t believe I’m– I’m a little nervous about tomorrow.

Jack: Nervous? Really?

Diane: Yeah, I know it’s just the icing on the wedding cake, but still, I’ve got pre-wedding nerves even though we’ve been married months.

Jack: You know what? I think that’s a good thing.

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: Anticipation and nervousness and eagerness. I mean, I think it’s a great thing after everything we’ve been through.

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: And we have been through a lot, you and I.

Diane: Mm, I think back to those days when my life was so empty, and now, my days have purpose. But loving you feels like the most natural thing in the world, but I don’t know if I’ll ever get used to feeling so lucky. I mean, for– for so long, I– I don’t know, I felt like I didn’t deserve happiness. And now, this.

Jack: And now this.

Diane: And now this.

Jack: So, I’ve been thinking, what if we took it a step farther. What if we found someone to officiate our marriage at the beginning of the celebration? We could say our vows all over again.

Diane: Ah, jack, we don’t need to do that.

Jack: In front of our family and friends. I want them to know how committed we are. I want them to know this is for keeps.

Diane: Yeah, but the people who don’t support us might never be convinced.

Jack: So, you’re turning me down?

Diane: Never.

Jack: Okay. We will seize the day. We will share our love with everyone that’s gathered there.

Diane: All right. I’m on board, let’s do it.

[ Jack chuckles ]

Mamie: Jill, why is it that you only see shadows and secrets? I suppose that’s just how your mind thinks. But that’s not how the rest of us live our lives. This is my family that you’re in business with. You see the bottom line. I see love and togetherness. This is just not about you, honey.

Jill: Oh, lord, forgive me, mamie, but I know who you really are and I find it very hard not to doubt your motives.

Mamie: [ Laughs ] Okay. So, devon is correct. I didn’t have to make an investment in chancellor-winters in order to spend time with the people that I care about, but why not take advantage of a good business move at the same time?

Jill: Good choice of words. Boy, you really know about taking advantage, don’t you?

Mamie: Oh, no, you don’t wanna go down that road. I sit alongside john abbott all those years that he was building his business empire. I took good care of the abbott children.

Jill: You just stood alongside him? Sorry, honey, that wasn’t you.

Mamie: We have both grown and moved on since our time together at the abbott house. I think that john and mrs. Chancellor and your son, billy, would want us to have peace, not conflict. What do you think, victoria?

Victoria: Well, I– I know that the element of surprise might be unsettling, but ultimately, you are a part of the winters family and this is chancellor-winters.

Jill: Forgive me, victoria, but you have no skin in this game and I have a lifetime.

Mamie: And you want to spend the rest of what we have of our lifetimes bickering?

Jill: You never miss an opportunity to throw my words back at me. Some things never change.

Mamie: Some things never do. Like you thinking that your feelings are the only ones that count. Well, they aren’T.

[ Mamie sighs ] When I was here a few months back, I could see that lily and devon’s relationship had frayed. What do I do, do I lean in, do I help them, do I become the elder that they need to help them build the family legacy? Do what john would do.

Jill: Why do you keep bringing john into this? Oh, I get it. She does that to make me out to be the shrew who didn’t deserve him. This is not about john. It’s not about me, and spare me your heartfelt explanations. Start telling the truth, mamie, for god’s sake. Why? Why did you take over victor’s investment in chancellor-winters?

Mamie: Early on, victor told me about the threat of the company going public. I didn’t want to see that happen, particularly not when the family was so disconnected.

Lily: Well, we definitely appreciate that, but this recent development has caught us off guard.

Mamie: Whether I approached victor or he approached me, it doesn’t really matter.

Jill: The hell it doesn’T. You went to him. That means you were playing an angle. That means you have a goal in mind.

Mamie: And what goal would that be?

Jill: I have no idea. Maybe just to piss me off. Okay, let’s get down to brass tacks, okay? How much is it gonna take to buy you out?

[ Mamie chuckles ] Wowwww… boring. With over 40 delicious flavors, cirkul starts a party for your taste buds. No sugar, no calories, and no artificial flavors. Cirkul. It’s your water, your way. Now with even more flavors. Available at walmart or drinkcirkul.Com.

Mamie: My stake is not for sale, jill. It’s a sound investment.

Jill: Really? So, there’s no number that you would accept?

Mamie: No, actually, there isn’T. I have faith that lily and devon can take things to the next level at chancellor-winters.

Jill: Oh, well, I do too. We’re in agreement on that.

Mamie: I just want to further support their efforts and if that includes you, well then, so be it.

Jill: Wait a minute. Includes me? Includes me? I am the chancellor in chancellor-winters.

Mamie: Can we please stop talking about business tonight?

Abby: Yes, please. I am all for that.

Mamie: This evening is supposed to be a lovely reunion in a room that has meaning for all of us.

Lily: I agree. I think that dad would want us to enjoy being together and not let business get in the way.

Mamie: Amen, so let’s raise a glass and toast. To family, friends, and togetherness.

Nate: Hear, hear. Cheers.

Mamie: Thank you, nate.

Devon: Here’s the family.

Abby: Family.

Mamie: Jill, you are welcome to stay for the festivities, but you have got to stop going on about my intentions.

Lily: Jill, please stay. We have so much to be thankful for.

Jill: Wow, none of you really knows what’s going on here, do you?

Victoria: Uh, well, it certainly is a room full of big personalities.

Devon: And regardless, I am happy that we’re still a private company and we don’t have to answer to wall street or shareholders.

Lily: I’m just happy that we can all be together in person, especially with everything going on.

Jill: You know, I will stay because I have a very strong feeling that we’ve only heard part of the story.

[ Mamie sighs, laughs ]

Diane: I could stay like this all night.

Jack: Yeah?

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: We have to eat sometime and I did arrange for a pretty special, uh, pre-celebration dinner.

Diane: Hm. You take such good care of me, jack abbott.

Jack: You are my greatest source of joy.

Diane: To our love and to our family. So, do you think kyle will stand up with you tomorrow as your best man? He didn’t even bother to show up at our civil ceremony.

Jack: Oh, I think he was blindsided when we asked him on our way to the courthouse.

Diane: Well, tomorrow will be a surprise too, but I– I do want him next to you.

Jack: Well, I think he struggled with the concept then. Life was a little more complicated in those days.

Diane: Yeah, he was heartbroken about summer.

Jack: And he blamed me for his ouster from marchetti.

Diane: Well, you and I are making up for some past hurts. Do you think we can do the same with kyle?

Jack: Are we talking about healing his heart or are we talking about giving him back his old job?

Diane: We can’t heal his heart.

Jack: It’s not that easy, sweetheart. I can’t just cut billy loose to put kyle in his place. It would be mending one relationship by destroying another.

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry?

Diane: I’m not asking you to choose between our son and your brother.

Jack: I know that was never your intention, but it is kind of the reality of the situation. Look, I love our son. I want to work with him. I want him involved in every abbott family enterprise as a third-generation abbott. But billy is also part of that abbott family legacy and it would be a big mistake to cut him loose for personal reasons right now.

Diane: But is it really just personal? Billy has done some questionable things in the past behind your back, things that have compromised the integrity of jabot and the family as a whole.

Jack: He has admitted to us that he was tempted by tucker’s offer that he run jabot on his own. But he didn’t give in. He did not get drawn into that. He held firm. Look, he’s made mistakes in the past, no question about it, but in the here and now, he is not to blame.

Diane: I know you’re loyal to your brother, but how strong is that loyalty to you? You just said that he considered looking out for his own best interests.

Jack: I’m not saying it wasn’t a possibility. I’m saying he didn’t cross that line.

[ Diane sighs ] Hey… this isn’t easy for me. I have to think this through.

Diane: How so?

Jack: Well, if I cut billy loose right now, there are serious ramifications. Not just inside the family or inside jabot, but from the outside world. The appearance of upheaval in the c-suite, the appearance that there is unsteady leadership. Honey, I have worked very hard on my relationship with billy. I think this has been good for us as brothers, good for billy and his self-image and good for his stability.

Diane: What do you mean “his stability?”

Jack: When billy feels isolated and abandoned, he goes to some pretty dark places.

Diane: Is he really that fragile?

Jack: No, not anymore. But I don’t want him thinking I lost faith in him.

Diane: But what about how much our son values your faith in him? You know how much your approval means to kyle?

Jack: I do. It’s a very delicate balance. And I use all of the values and principles that my father instilled in all of us to keep the abbott family legacy alive. Jabot has already been through a lot. We’ve had too many captains steering the jabot ship, not just dad and me, but jill and victor and…

Diane: Jill. [ Laughs ] She’s had a colorful past with the family and jabot.

Jack: And to be sure. And with mamie back in town, that past is all too present.

Diane: Mm-hmm. The two of them do have history.

Jack: Whatever issues the two of them had, well, most of them were settled years ago. I just pray they are able to let go of things now. How– how did– how did this happen? How– how did we make this pivot away from talking about us?

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: Our future together, our love. If our love and commitment are solid, we can conquer anything. I truly believe that. Let’s drink to that.

Jill: Hey.

Devon: Hm?

Jill: What do you two make of this mamie thing? And I promise you, I promise you, if you knew her like I knew her, you would be suspicious too.

Devon: Well, that’s the thing, jill, is we don’t really know her. Or I don’t know her as well as you do. So, it’s hard for me to have an opinion. I just don’t understand why she’s been so damn secretive.

Lily: Look, I get where you’re both coming from, but let’s not make tonight about that. I mean, we’re here, together, in person. The company is strong, it’s growing. Let’s just focus on that.

Devon: That’s fine with me. As long as we’re not at risk of an ipl, then I’m good.

Jill: But there are other issues though.

Lily: Jill, can you please try? Please? Let mamie feel like she’s a part of something bigger with her family and not a threat. I mean, she’s successful, she’s family and she’s not backing down. So, let’s just welcome her.

Jill: Okay, lily, but devon is right. You do not know the history, but okay. All right. I will just hold my tongue unless she comes after me. And then, you know–

Lily: I know. We know. We know.

Mamie: Victoria, I’m pleased to see that you and nate are working together. That’s a brilliant mind you have sitting next to you.

Nate: Oh, mamie. [ Laughs ]

Victoria: Oh, nate is a very impressive man.

Mamie: Mm-hmm. Growing up to follow in medicine like his mother and then branching out to start a path of his own. It takes a lot of grit. I’m proud of you.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. That means a lot coming from you.

Mamie: And you may not be his son… but there’s a lot of neil that I see in you.

Victoria: Well, there is absolutely no question that his presence was felt here today.

Nate: That is for sure.

Victoria: Do you know my father adored neil? He was a fixture at the ranch and at newman enterprises and I– I have no doubt that he is very proud of your success at the company.

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] I have to take this. Excuse me.

[ Nate sighs ]

Mamie: Well, I can see now that there’s more than a working relationship with your boss. It’s more than you told me when we had our last phone chat.

Nate: Okay, you can stop now, aunt mamie.

Mamie: Why would I do that?

Nate: [ Laughs ] Because I’m a grown man.

Abby: You know what? Um, I am gonna go so the two of you can chat.

Mamie: So, whatever happened to that doctor lady that I– you know, I got really good vibes from that young lady.

Nate: It didn’t work out.

Mamie: Uh-huh. And why didn’t it work out?

Nate: We weren’t growing in the same direction.

Mamie: Oh, and so– but you were growing in the direction of victoria.

Nate: Careful, aunt mamie.

Mamie: Uh-huh. And did this new direction happen after you broke up or was victoria the reason? What was that doctor’s name?

Nate: Elena.

Mamie: Was victoria the reason why you and elena parted ways? Even when I was with the people I love,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Nate: How victoria and i got involved is a story for another day, maybe, if you just listen and don’t pass judgment.

Mamie: Oh, you ask so much of me.

[ Nate laughs ]

Nate: It really is so good to have you back in genoa city. As you know, I don’t get to see my mom very often, so this is significant and meaningful to me, and all of us here.

Mamie: Mm. I think I hear a but coming on.

Nate: You always had great intuition. I do remember that as a kid.

Mamie: Thank you.

Nate: But yes, please try your best not to pry into our personal lives or cast judgment on any of us. Do you think you can stop yourself from crossing that boundary?

Mamie: Well, I apologize if I came off that way. I certainly don’t want to be seen or perceived of as a busybody. I just wanted to make sure that all of you are happy.

Nate: Well, I can only speak for myself, but I haven’t been this happy in a very long time.

Mamie: Oh, well, then I’m thrilled.

[ Nate chuckles ]

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: Sorry if I made you feel like I’ve abandoned you.

Abby: Ah, don’t be silly. This is a huge deal for your family. I know all about the dynamics and the drama.

Devon: Oh, thank you. I just still don’t understand why aunt mamie had to be so secretive about everything.

Abby: Hm. That’s fair.

Devon: It’s just like, especially if she just wanted to get the family together, why didn’t she call us? Tell us?

Abby: Oh, maybe she just wanted it to be a surprise. Is that so hard to believe? Does there have to be an ulterior motive?

Devon: Well, no, it doesn’T. But she could have just said, “hey, this is what I’m gonna do. What do you guys think?”

Abby: I think mamie is doing that tonight here. In her own way.

Jill: Mamie, I’ve really gotta hand it to you. You’ve come a long way from the abbott house.

Mamie: Um, well, thank you for the compliment. Although, I have a feeling that a sucker punch is coming.

Jill: No, not this evening. I mean, I know I’m right. I know you’re up to something because my radar has served me very well over the years, but I’ve decided to put my reservations aside and offer you congratulations.

Mamie: Well, now, that’s rather unheard of.

Jill: I know, but you have come a long way. I mean, you’ve managed to pull this whole thing off without any of us seeing it coming. And that takes some real smarts.

Mamie: I’ve always been smart and capable, jill. You just never liked me very much and so you couldn’t see it or accept it.

Jill: That is probably true.

[ Both laughing ] So, I don’t suppose it’s worth it if I ask you, just what is it you ultimately want?

Mamie: Never show your hand, jill, until it’s time. (Vo) you were diagnosed with thyroid eye disease At humana, we believe your healthcare should evolve with you, and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you. Humana can help. Hi, my name is sam davis and I’m going to tell you about medicare advantage prescription drug plans that can provide more coverage than original medicare, including prescription drug coverage, all wrapped up into one convenient plan. With original medicare you’re covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each. And then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at medicare supplement plans. If a service is covered under original medicare, then a medicare supplement plan pays for some or all of your medicare deductibles and the 20% coinsurance. But they may have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Humana medicare advantage prescription drug plans include medical coverage, plus prescription drug coverage. As well as dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus a yearly exam. Vision coverage includes vision exams and a yearly allowance toward eyewear such as lenses or contacts. And hearing benefits include routine hearing exams and coverage toward hearing aids. You’re covered for preventive services like annual mammograms and prostate exams. There’s a zero-dollar copay for routine vaccines and telehealth visits. And you get worldwide coverage for emergencies when you travel. You get all of this in one convenient plan. Plus, there’s a cap on your out-of-pocket costs! So, call or go online today to see if there’s a humana plan in your area, to find out if your doctor is in one of our networks, and to get our free decision guide. There’s no obligation, just good information. Humana – a more human way to healthcare.

Daniel: Considering the fireworks that could have gone off, it sounds like it was actually a pretty peaceful and enjoyable evening.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, I’m really happy that aunt mamie found this new phase in her life and that her investments are doing well. I’m just– I’m so curious as to what led her here.

Daniel: Are you worried that jill’s right? That mamie has a hidden agenda?

Lily: I don’t want to be worried. [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: You know, as an outsider, it seems like jill’s making a bigger deal of this than it is.

Lily: Well, I mean, the mamie-jill rivalry goes pretty far back and I’m in the middle because mamie’s my family but I work for jill.

Daniel: But you don’t think there’s some secret hostile takeover going on, right? It– it’s a minor financial investment, which seems like that’s what mamie does these days.

Lily: Yeah. I don’t know. I guess so.

Daniel: Hey, come here.

Lily: Oh.

Daniel: Yeah. [ Sighs ] Oh, gosh, that feels nice. Mm. It’s my specialty.

[ Lily chuckles ]

Lily: Well, one of them.

Daniel: Yeah? What’s the other one? Oh.

Victoria: Well, that was– that was quite the family gathering.

Nate: And you took it all in stride. Thank you for that.

Victoria: You’re welcome. I’m used to family drama. All kinds.

[ Nate clears throat ]

Nate: I’m worried jill and aunt mamie aren’t gonna be able to find common ground. And that aunt mamie seems intent on sticking around and getting involved.

Victoria: Yeah. You know, her connecting with my dad was curious but… I’m more concerned about you.

Nate: Me? [ Laughs ] Why? I have no horse in that race. If aunt mamie and jill want to duke it out, I can’t stop them.

Victoria: I mean– I mean, were you tempted by mamie’s suggestion that you return to chancellor-winters?

Nate: Not for a second. First, I am certain I am right where I belong.

Victoria: Well, that’s good to hear.

Nate: Second, we both know devon and lily would never agree to that. And even if they did, I’m sure it would be as miserable as the last time, maybe even worse.

Victoria: Some things heal with time and some don’T.

Nate: Why? Are you trying to get rid of me?

Victoria: Not a chance, sir.

[ Diane sighs ]

Diane: Thank you for a delicious dinner and a wonderful evening.

Jack: It was my absolute pleasure.

Diane: It was magical.

Jack: Well, I would expect nothing less on the last night before we renew our vows as mr. And mrs. Jack abbott in front of all our family and friends.

Diane: I can’t wait for our next chapter.

Jack: Together we can handle anything, whether it’s billy’s unpredictability or kyle’s confused defiance or tucker’s endless onslaught. We can handle anything together, as a team.

Diane: We are quite the force of nature together, aren’t we?

Jack: And I could never love anyone as much as I love you right now. Mm.

[ Diane chuckles ] ( )

Jill: Oh, what a night.

Devon: I know. Feels good to be home.

Abby: Uh, absolutely. I am gonna go check on dominic.

Jill: Abby, I was so glad to be able to spend time with you today. And how is your mom doing? I mean, I heard what happened with tucker. Not that we were surprised.

Abby: Yeah, we were and we weren’T.

Jill: I guess. Anyway, give her my best.

Abby: Thank you.

Jill: And kiss dominic for me, okay?

Abby: Will do.

Jill: Boy, I’m really glad that you and abby are settling in here. I’m very relieved that this home is in such good hands. Thank you.

Devon: Uh-huh. Well, thank you for saying that. It means a lot to hear you say that. And I’m just happy that dominic gets to grow up in such a cool place like this.

Jill: I know. There she is. Whenever I’m here, oh, god, do I feel her presence. I hear that voice echoing in the halls. I spent a lot of my youth here, you know. The difficult times and love and laughter and quite a few fights. One of them involving a cake.

[ Devon laughs ]

Devon: What’s really on your mind, jill?

Jill: Well, you think you’re pretty perceptive, don’t you?

[ Devon clears throat ] It’s just that when seeing mamie it– it kind of opened a lot of chapters from old wounds, I guess you’d say with the abbots, you know. And things that you think have gone away, but they haven’T.

Devon: Well, so much of your family and your career is centered around the abbotts.

Jill: Yeah. And I had some pretty wonderful memories of john, I’ll tell you that. But not so much mamie. No offense to the extended winters family.

Devon: None taken at all.

Jill: Perhaps you can understand my skepticism about her, even if you don’t agree with it.

Devon: Of course, I can. Yeah.

Jill: So, would you give me your honest take on this whole mamie thing?

Devon: Oh, my honest take was that I was surprised. Surprised just like you were. And like I told abby, I wish that she would have said something beforehand instead of making this a big mystery game.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Devon: But, you know, again, I don’t know her very well, so maybe she gets a kick out of stuff like this.

Jill: Oh, she got a kick out of that today, I’ll tell you that. And how could there not be an ulterior motive with her?

Devon: I don’t know. But honestly, you know her a lot better than me.

Jill: Oh, I sure do. And so I know that there is a surprise behind the surprise.

[ Mamie sighs ]

[ Mamie laughs ] Oh. Ah. Oh. Ah. Cheers to me and a perfect evening.

[ Mamie chuckles ] Mm.

[ Phone ringing ] Hello. Yeah. Yeah, I just got back to my suite.

[ Laughs ] Well, it went off without a hitch. They don’t have a clue. But they’re all as curious as hell. [ Laughs ] Yeah, it just went perfect. [ Laughs ]
