THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ymmm. That was delicious. Can I have another one? You know it’s all sugar, right? Just 100% sugar. Two — guess who? Uncle chase!

[ Laughs ] What are you guys doing at the bar? Grabbing cocktails before dinner. ‘Cause everybody knows that’s when you have cocktails. Ohh. We know that already, do we? Have you guys seen brook lynn? She bought me a shirley temple. I didn’t realize she was joining us. Uh, that’s okay, isn’t it? Yeah, absolutely. I last saw her out by the pool with tracy. Oh, I better rescue — uh, I better find her. Why on earth would you confess to downloading proprietary information on the deceptor? Why didn’t you just let maxie take the fall? Because I have a conscience, a-a-a-a soul, a shred of decency? And I don’t? And I couldn’t sit and watch maxie and lucy fight. Why not? Because I like them. That’s why I hate doing this so much. Oh, I think you misspoke. You love working at deception. Otherwise, your boyfriend, detective chase, is going to know just what role I played in getting him reinstated at the pcpd. How long are you going to hold this over my head? Ladies. Oh, look who it is. Just who I was looking for. Finn said you were out by the pool. Yeah, we were, but we are done. Good evening, ms. Quartermaine. Detective chase. Busy day keeping the citizens of port charles safe? Anna: So glad you called. I know we haven’t really spoken since my criminal past was splashed across all the newspapers. For the record, that’s not why I haven’t called. No, no, I know. But it’s got to be difficult trying to process how you’re going to be friends with A… basically, a traitor. Uh, no, not for a second. Anyways, how are you handling all that? I don’t know. I mean… I guess I’ve managed to wait out my relevance in the news cycle. It is almost insulting how reporters stop harassing you and just move on to the next thing.

[ Both chuckle ] Count your blessings. Yeah. I feel like my life is probably returning to a new normal. Wait, so you think it’s normal to find the word “murderer” spray-painted on your front door? How are things with trina and curtis? Well, trina — she actually approached me yesterday, and it’s the first time since the wedding, so… oh, my god! Really? That’s amazing! And what about curtis? We…have yet to talk. Oh. And, truthfully, it’s because I’ve been avoiding him. Hey, T. I’m back. Sorry about the interruption. No, it’s cool. You’ve got a club to run. In fact, I should probably get out of your hair. No way, nephew. I’ll always make time for you. I appreciate that. I appreciate you coming to me to talk about you and molly. I know you guys have been dealing with some really heavy stuff lately. That’s an understatement.Well, I just want you to know that if you ever want to talk, I’m here. Thank you. Because, right now, I don’t know how to talk to molly about having a child, or not having a child, without making her feel pressured. Which reminds me — you never did answer my question. How would you feel if molly decides she doesn’t want to have children?

[ Indistinct laughter, chatter in background ] Uh, I got a confession to make. Oh, no. I have to get the phone out, record this, or what? No, no, no, no, no. Um, I-I called you, you know, for dinner under false pretenses. I need a favor. And what is it? Nina and i are getting married… and I wanted to know if you wanted to be my best man.


Great talking to you, grandmother, but chase and I, we have dinner plans, so — romantic night? Just the two of you? Actually, we’re meeting my brother. He and violet are waiting at the bar. Yeah, so we can’t keep them waiting. Good night. How do you know about the spray-paint on my door? How do you think? Valentin. He called me before he left town. Told me about the vandalism at your house. You know, it’s funny. I checked, but there was no police report on the incident. I didn’t make a report. It’s kids. It’s — it’s just a prank. It’s not a major crime. Valentin should not have bothered you with that. Valentin’s worried about you. He feels it’s a bad time for him to be gone, and from what I’m hearing, I agree. Thank you for your concern. It’S… but, surely, as the new deputy mayor, you’ve got bigger things to focus on. How is that going, by the way, your new job? Nice try. No, I’m interested. You’re embarking on a whole new career. I’d love to know all about it. I mean, I haven’t really started yet, so there’s not much to tell. Now back to you. Has there been any fallout from the article? Friends? Family? Well, nobody’s thrilled. Robin — she understands, but emma… mm, it’s a bit more difficult with her. I’m just hoping that, in time, she’ll… give me the benefit of the doubt. And my friends are my friends. And I will always be one of them. I’m very grateful for that. But I do feel that, um, as lucky as I am with the people who love me, there are those that are really angry. And they have every right to be. ‘Cause I… I did hurt a lot of people. That was a long time ago. You’ve helped countless others since then, and what you did was dangerous, no matter whose side you were on. I was on both. That’s the problem. Yeah, well, working undercover is risky and complicated, both physically and emotionally. It takes a toll on you, your relationships, your whole life. Believe me. I know. I know you do. What are you looking forward to in this new job? Well, honestly, I’m hoping it’ll distract me from the rest of my life.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. Yeah. What happened with curtis and the… the kiss. Yeah, that. Yes and no. Well, it looks like the lovely davis women showed up in full force tonight. Well, we sure did. Tj, what are you doing here? Why don’t we have a table over here and let molly and tj have some privacy? Okay, great. I’ll set you up. First drinks are on me. Well, you should know, we are drinking champagne. Club soda for me, thanks. I would expect nothing less. Enjoy your night. Sam, can I talk to you? Yeah, sure. What’s up? Um, I just wanted to check in. How’s drew? How are you? Oh, that’s a good question. Um, man, my head is still spinning. I just don’t know how drew’s plea deal went so wrong. Yeah. I heard that judge might be running for office, so I guess he wanted to prove that he wasn’t soft on white-collar crimes. Yeah, but it still doesn’t justify drew missing three years of his daughter’s life. Molly. I’m sorry. Look, I just came to talk to my uncle curtis. And that’s fine, but — I planned on leaving before you got here. I guess I just — I lost track of time. But you’re here now, so I’m going to head out. You have fun with your mom and your sisters, and I will see you back at home, okay? No, tj. Nothing about this is okay. Uh, yeah. Uh, I’d be honored to be your best man. I appreciate your support when it comes to my relationship with nina. Hey, you gotta do what makes you happy. Yeah. So, uh, when’s the big day? Do you know yet? Uh, sometime in the fall. Oh, wow. Mm-hmm. You’re pretty, uh — pretty close, yeah? Yeah, you know, we wanna keep it simple. Mm, simple? Why is that? Nina doesn’t want a big wedding. Mm-hmm. That the only reason? What? You think no one’s going to show up to my wedding? What? That’s not…

[ Laughs ] Uh, you do have a point there, but, no, that’s not what I was saying. That’s not — so what are you getting at? Are you thinking it’s best to keep a low profile for this wedding because you’re worried there could be trouble? The last time we talked about curtis, you said that you were afraid you might say something out of anger that you didn’t mean. Now, I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but are you still angry about that? Yes. Oh, okay. No hesitation there. Nope. No hesitation here. I am angry, and I’m extremely hurt. The whole situation is — is, um… it’s sad. And I miss curtis. I really do. And I know that we need to talk. But part of me is worried that maybe it’s already too late. I mean, given everything that’s already happened and everything that we’ve done to each other at this point… do we even want to try again? And since you’re avoiding him… no, no, I haven’t talked to him yet. I know that I need to. I totally get why you haven’T…

[ Sighs ] …And why you keep putting it off. It’s like, after so much hurt, you have to consider, is it even fair to ask him to risk his heart again? Are you and finn talking about getting back together again? What? No! N– portia, we’re talking about you. Uh-huh. No, no. Right.

[ Chuckles ] You and finn are getting closer again, aren’t you? Okay, we have been talking about doing stuff together as a family, you know, for the kids. That’s good. Yeah. Yeah, it is. And I don’t think I should push it, though. I mean, this is not just about me and finn. Violet’s happiness is also at stake. And, portia, that little girl wants her dad and me to get back together so badly, she arranged for us to go on a date last night. Oh, a date? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That sweet-faced little girl.

[ Chuckles ] She’s absolutely sneaky, is what she is.

[ Laughs ] Yes, she is. And after it was over, finn just kept profusely apologizing for violet having the wrong idea about us. And if he wants to just be friends, then I don’t want to jeopardize that. And if we were to try again and — and for some reason, i couldn’t make it work, I do not want to be responsible for breaking that little girl’s heart all over again. Elizabeth, is it really violet’s heart that you’re worried about breaking, or is it your own? Where’s brook lynn going? Yeah, we thought you found her. How’d you lose her again so fast? She said she had something urgent. Likely. Where’s dad? Uh, he should be here any minute. Grandpa’s sleeping over tonight. Yeah. Do you want to sleep over, too, uncle chase? You can bring brook lynn. Oh, uh, another time. How’s this weekend? Do you promise? So, we meet again. Yeah, well, it’s been a whole 20 minutes, but always a pleasure.

[ Laughs ] Auntie tracy, look. We’re having cocktails. Wow, you’re starting early. It’s not early. It’s almost dinnertime. Oh. [ Sighs ] Well, that’s — that’s not what I meant. Look, I won’t intrude. I just wanna order some take-out ’cause I hate dining alone. Okay. No, you don’t have to eat alone. Daddy, can auntie tracy eat dinner with us? Eat dinner with us? Well, I don’t think she’d — oh, I’d love to. Thank you so much for your kind invitation. Now we’ll have the same number of boys and girls.

[ Stammers ] But brook lynn is joining us. I know. It’ll be uncle chase and brook lynn, me and daddy, you and… grandpa!

[ Chuckles ] Oh, this is going to be fun. Chase: Hey, dad. How’s it going? I can’t beli


I swear, I was not tryingto intrude on your night out. I know you need time. That’s not why I’m upset.

[ Stammers ] Okay, then? I-I’m upset that you felt like you had to sneak out before I got here. Have I made you feel like I can’t stand to be around you? No, you haven’t, but, to be fair, you didn’t seem all that happy to see me. I-I was just surprised. And then demanding to know what I’m doing here at my uncle’s club? I don’t know. I thought maybe this was… like an ambush? Maybe. Molly. Everything is so scrambled right now. But [Sighs] One thing I do know is that I would never want to chase you away. And I want you to know that I understand if — if you need some time away from me. But I don’t need that. What I need is a break from my fertility issues, not from my life partner. Never from you. And I would never want to shut you out. But if you want to talk, we should talk. Nah. Nah, not tonight. You need a break. Come on. Go have fun. Only if you stay. If you insist. Why, god? Why? What have I done to deserve this? Actually, on second thought, god, don’t answer that. Ms. Quartermaine, I didn’t realize you were joining us. Oh, how could I refuse your delightful granddaughter’s invitation? Speaking of delightful granddaughters… how many do you have? He’s talking about me. And you are delightful. Well, now that she’s finally here, try not to lose her again. Never. Okay. I need a drink. What’s everybody having? The shirley temples are delightful.

[ Chuckles ] I’m going to need something stronger. Much, much,

much stronger. I don’t want to hurt finn or violet or my boys any more than I already have. Elizabeth, you’re making it seem like everything that went down was your fault. Wasn’t it, though? No. As I recall, you both made plenty of mistakes, and you both were trying to protect people that you care about, including one another. What if finn does want to try it out again? What if he doesn’t? Look, I know how hard it can be to put your heart out on the line. I let my fear come between me and curtis. And now, I’ll never know what would have happened if I would have just told curtis the truth from the very beginning. And you’ll never know what’s going to happen if you don’t tell finn how you really feel. You’re right. I’m going for it. Oh. Oh, you’re going — you’re going right now.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I-I-if I — if I don’t do it right now, I’m going to lose my nerve. And I know that finn and violet are having a date at the metro court, so I’m — I’m just going to head over there and see what happens. Okay. Yeah, yeah. No, that’s — that’s a great idea. But why don’t you go home first and take a shower and put something on that you really feel good in, and then meet finn? You can show him what he’s really missing. Yeah, that’s a better idea. Portia’s brother? To get over curtis, you slept with — his brother-in-law. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I was there. Ohhh! Had I known who he was, I certainly wouldn’t have told him I recently kissed my ex-husband. Would you have slept with him anyway? No! No. The point is, is that when zeke realized who I was, he told portia about the kiss. No! Oh, god. Which was completely unnecessary. Curtis chose portia. Yeah. He decided he wants to save his marriage, which is the only reason why I was even with zeke in the first place. It’s the only reason? Well, not the only reason. Zeke is charming and funny and… is he hot? Oh! [ Laughs ] Like, stupidly hot. There is no reason he should be related to anyone I know. Wow. It really sounds like you guys clicked.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Yeah, but… but what? It doesn’t really matter now. Why? Did zeke leave town or something? Something went down the night of the nurses’ ball. There were shots fired in the warehouse district. You’ve been beefing up your security detail. I mean, that’s the word on the street. I don’t know what to tell you. Speaking of your security, where’s — where’s dex? Why? ‘Cause he’s joined at your hip. Dad, like, he even was staying with you for a while, wasn’t he? What’s with the questions? I mean, what are you — what are you fishing for?


ou to be my best man — and I proudly accepted. Thank you. But what’s with all the questions? I just — unless the pcpd is trying to pin something on me. No one’s trying to pin anything on you. Dad, we have an agreement, right? Right. You don’t tell me about your business, I don’t ask. But here you are, asking.

[ Chuckles ] I’m not asking you as a cop. I’m asking as your son. Okay, I don’t want details. I just — I’ve noticed some changes in your routine. I have everything under control. You don’t have to worry about it. Yeah, well, I can’t help it. Why? Because you’re a cop? No. Because I’m your son.

[ Laughing ] Auntie tracy, look at this one. Gregory: Oh. [ Laughs ] Hey, uh… are you feeling okay? I guess. I’m sorry my grandmother hijacked our dinner. Yeah, I’m kind of surprised she stayed. You don’t think…? No, it’s a crazy idea. What? I was just wondering, do you think tracy’s lonely? She’s something, alright.

[ Finn speaking indistinctly ] So, tell me, how you doing? How are things going between you, trina, and portia? Well, things between trina and I were getting good, and then I messed up things with portia, so — what do you mean, messed up? Messed up how badly? You know, sam…

[ Sighs ] …I just hope trina and i can get through it. I’ve always admired portia and trina’s relationship, and, subconsciously, I always knew that if I was to establish a relationship with trina, that it would be secondary, right? There’s something about knowing she’s my daughter, that — that I’m her father, her biological father, that just — just makes it different. Yeah, I get that. I mean, before you found out portia is what connected you, now you and trina have your own connection, whether you and portia stay together or not. I sure hope we do. Good. I just — I really hope that trina and I can, you know, learn to be father and daughter, you know, no matter what. You will. How can you be so sure? Because I know you. And that gives me faith that things will work out. Yeah. You know, sometimes, sam, you just… it just — it feels like it takes a lifetime to get to know someone, right? And then you look back and you realize…

[ Scoffs ] …It was just the blink of an eye. Like my father, for instance. I thought I would never, ever let that man back into my life after he abandoned us. And look at us now. I just wish I’d let him in sooner. Exactly. And, sooner or later, trina is going to realize that. And then she’s going to regret all the time that she spent being angry at you and judging you. Because in the end, we never have enough time with the people we love.

[ Locker door slams ] Hi, dr. Robinson. Looking good. Oh, thank you. Heading home? Nope. I’m going out. Good for you.

[ Chuckles ] Is that him? Mm-hmm. Hey, jordan. Zeke. This is my friend, anna. Anna, this is portia’s brother, zeke. Hi. Nice to meet you. Hey. Very nice to meet you, too. Well, I don’t mean to interrupt. Then I guess I’ll see you around. Wow. Okay. Um, actually, I have a phone call that I have to make. Really? Really. Yeah. So, if you’ll excuse me. Sure. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. You don’t have to stay. Oof. Uh…

[ Chuckles ] Jordan, I know my timing was bad coming to your office when curtis was there. You think so? Please, will you hear me out?

[ Cellphone rings ] Hi, anna. Hi, sonny. Um, where are you? I — I have to talk to you about something. I’m with dante right now. We’re just wrapping up dinner at the metro court. I can come to you. Where are you? Well, I’m here, too, actually. I’m out by the pool. Alright, I’ll be there. I know you’re mad at me for telling my sister about you kissing curtis. I’m not mad at you. You sure? ‘Cause you seemed mad. Okay, look, you still seem mad. I was mad at you because you didn’t give me a heads-up. Not because you told portia about me and curtis. She’s your sister, and you want to protect her. I get that. If portia had found out about the kiss and you didn’t tell her, she’d feel betrayed. Yeah. And families shouldn’t keep secrets like that from each other. I mean, you barely even know me, so… well, I’d like to change that. Now that we’ve cleared the air, let’s just start over.

[ Sighs ] I think it’s a little late for that. Doesn’t have to be. But that’s up to you. How about it? Will you give me another chance?


Everything cool with anna? Yeah, she’s good. She just wants to talk to me. Uh, we’re good? Yeah, dad, we’re great. You know, I just — I want you to be careful. You, too. Okay. Uh, anna’s by the pool. You want to say hi? Uh, you know, I would love to, but, uh, I should get out of here. I gotta get dessert home to the kids. Alright. Especially scout. She could, uh, use the pick-me-up. How’s she doing? Uh, not great. She’s doing her best, but not great. It’s tough, you know? Give her my love. Yeah, I will. Same with anna. And — and, you know, keep me posted on what you and nina got going, right? I don’t want to be accused of shirking my duties as best man.

[ Laughs ] Don’t want to mess it up. Alright. I love you. Alright. Love you, too, man. Later. So, brook lynn, how is it being back at deception? What can I say? Glad to be back. Things must be very busy over there, what with the success of your new product. What is it called? The deceptor. Yes, we are very busy. Last time we spoke, you were really excited about focusing on your songwriting. You’ll still be able to do that if you’re working full time? Thank you for meeting me. You look good. Oh, thanks. Better than I did the other night, probably. Thank you for coming over when you did. Really helped me feel a little less lonely. You didn’t have to see me to thank me. No, no. That’s not what I’m doing. I have a message from valentin. So, for what it’s worth, our night together wasn’t just about sex. Not for me. Yeah, well, it was for me. Oh. At least, that’s what I wanted it to be. But it wasn’t? Just that, I mean. See, I-I thought we really had some potential. Like, and before everything else went down and before it all got crazy, I was really looking forward to maybe seeing you again. Yeah? Mm-hmm. Well, for what it’s worth, I felt the same way. Great. Now let’s start over. Look, I just started a new job, and I am beyond busy. Yeah, uh, hello? I’m a lawyer. I’m always busy, too.

[ Laughs ] But…we both appear to be free right now.

[ Sighs ] Have dinner with me. So how’s it going? Tell me about your plans for the shelter. I’m so glad you asked. I had a really interesting lunch with the head of the food pantry. Oh, that’s the place you’re volunteering, right? Yes. Yeah. He really helped me understand the whole manpower end of things, like how much staff I’ll have to hire and what tasks I can give out to volunteers to handle. That’s great. Yeah, I mean, it’s a lot, but I think now that i understand what I’m up against, I don’t know, mom, I think I can pull this off. I know you can pull this off, and I’m very, very proud of you. This may come as a shock to you — oh, gosh. What? Go ahead. I’m proud of myself, too. Mm. Yeah, getting this shelter off the ground is going to be a lot of work. Way more than I ever imagined when I first came up with the idea. But I’m going to see this through right to the end. See, I knew if you found the right thing, that you would soar. Well, I don’t know if I’m soaring necessarily. I don’t even know if I’m on the runway. There’s just so much I don’t know. Okay, so what you don’t know, you’ll learn. And if it’s too much to learn — and it most likely will be — you’ll hire somebody that can advise you. I know this is going to be great. You can do this. Thank you. Oh, brook lynn’s just being practical. It’s always good to have back-up when you’re working in the arts. Well, I hope you keep writing songs, brook lynn. I really enjoy listening to them, especially when chase is singing it. Inspiration happens when it happens. And brook lynn can do anything that she sets her mind to. Whatever it is, it’ll work out. Finn, you’ve been quiet. Hmm? How can you tell?

[ Laughs ] What have you been up to? Oh, uh, besides work, nothing much. Daddy, tell them about your date. Will the shelter provide basic medical care? I definitely want it to. Lgbtqia+ teens really tend to avoid going to doctors because they’re concerned that their gender identity isn’t going to be accepted, but, honestly, I — I just don’t know if it’s feasible. Well, let me know if I can help on that end, or at all. Whatever you need. Thank you. Oh, my god. Tj, you should be on the board. Well, it’s a not-for-profit, so I do need to assemble a board before we break ground — before we do anything, really. Well, honey, you can’t do everything yourself. You’re running a business. You’re the boss. And delegation is the key, right? “Delegation”? Yeah. Who are you and what have you done with our mother? Alright. Delegation sounds great. I — I still want to retain final say, but I also am just worried that I’m not going to be able to be with the kids directly. You know, I’m going to miss helping them. I don’t want to be stuck behind a desk all day. Then schedule it. I mean, plan it. That’s what mom or molly would do. Molly: We totally would. You have to set aside time in your schedule to talk with the kids one on one. That way, you can support the kids who need more structure and the ones who need more freedom. Let’s get the champagne? Curtis: Let’s do it. Yes, let’S. Okay. So, uh… things good with you and molly? Somehow, they are. You were right. We’ll get through this. I don’t know if a kid is in my future, but molly definitely is. Well, I’m glad to hear that. You don’t mind if I take off, do you? Yeah, I’m good. And thank you for listening. Anytime, nephew. So, uh… where you headed? I think it’s time that I take my own advice.


are you ready to dance? Thought you’d never ask. You guys coming? Um, mom and I are going to wait for kristina. Yeah, I’ll be there in one second. I just have to… okay, well, don’t be too long. Well, I’m glad. It looks like molly’s feeling a little better. Yes, I’m very glad that she’s giving herself a break from all the pressure she’s put on herself. We just have to really make sure that molly knows that she’s not alone in this. Molly knows that we all have her back. Of course. I just — I know that it’s their decision, but selfishly, I really hope they move forward with having a baby. Well, I mean, so do I. But if that’s what makes them happy. We’re not going to pressure them into anything, right? No. Of course. Of course. Yeah, I know. I just — I just wish there was something we could do to help them make this decision easier. That’s it. Why didn’t I think of that before? So, you are aware, obviously, that valentin went with laura to help find her son, right? Yeah. Charlotte’s staying with sam and dante. Dante filled me in, but I’m just surprised why valentin would have you pass along the message. I mean, him and I really don’t say much to each other. No? No. Oh, well, um… obviously, I wouldn’t normally be a go-between with something quite so… precarious. Not even for valentin. Why now? I know that you’re involved with a business venture with valentin, or he’s, rather, involved with you. That’s literally all I know. I don’t know any of the details, and don’t think I really want to. But right before he left, he got a message. And, um, knowing that you prefer to do any kind of business in person rather than over the phone, he wanted me to pass on the message. Okay, go ahead. You’re not to speak to anyone new. If your contact person is to change, do not proceed until you’ve spoken to your original contact person. Does that make sense? Yeah. Do you want to tell me what’s going on with valentin, why you would be in any kind of business with him? I don’t know how this is going to work. Only one way to find out, right? Yeah, but then what? This situation is just too messy. When you told me that you were done with your ex, did you mean it? Yeah. We are over. Whatever happens between portia and curtis, I’m moving on. So what’s stopping us from seeing each other?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know, zeke. Reality. I’m sure portia has already given you an earful on why you should avoid me like the plague. I don’t let my family dictate who I see. Do you? I don’t want to cause problems between you and your sister. Portia will cope. Yeah. You think so? I think someone’s tired, and we’re going to be heading home. Come on. But I’m not tired. Oh, we’ll see, sweetie, come on. You got it.Oh, boy. Finn, thank you so much for allowing me to join your family for dinner. It was — it was surprisingly fun having you here. And for me, as well. Thank you. And you. Yes? Uh, you’re a lucky man. I know. Thank you. It’s great to see you, dad. See you at the next tea party.

[ Laughs ] Sounds good. Brook lynn, always a pleasure. You can’t imagine how nice that is to hear. I think I can. Take care, you two. Have a great night. Night, finn. Goodnight. Violet: Bye.

[ Laughs ] Brook lynn, see you at home. Don’t stay out too late. You have to go to work tomorrow. Goodnight, granny. So, what do you say, you and me, we get a nightcap at the pool bar? I’d love to. Great. The sooner the better. There’s something I need to ask you first. Hi. Aunt elizabeth, you lo


Oh, why, thank you, violet. You look beautiful. Thank you. Wait, are you guys leaving? Uh, no. Violet and I are — are heading home. But finn could stay. I can stay? Yeah, you can stay. I can stay. Yeah. Whatever it is, can we talk about it on the way to the bar? Brook lynn, what’s going on with you? Something’s been off with you all evening. I know. And her name is granny. I’m always on edge around her. It’s not just tracy. When my dad asked you about your job, I knew that I was right. About what? Your work at deception. Your heart’s not in it. You don’t want to be there. Of course I do. It’s just — it’s my day job. Exactly. You would rather be writing music and managing artists. So I got to ask — why’d you go back? It solves so many problems. I m– I mean, it’s perfect. I shudder to think. What? Wait, what’s your big idea? I can be molly and tj’s surrogate.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

abe, my friend,

best friend of man, could ever have.

Humana been part of my life for such a long time.

Just knowing you were there,

comfort me

and you know exactly what to say to. Help me

get outta my own head.

I wonder if you ever knew what that meant to me and how I treasured of, I’m French.

We gave it our all. Buddy, we, we searched for you. I alone,

and then,

and then Steve and John. Me, you know, doing whatever I could to help. We, and we, we beat the bushes, we, we canvassed the whole damn town, including these docks. So I don’t understand, but I don’t damn well understand

going hell. Why in the hell we can never find you? Before, before

God part.

She So I,

you were such a special man. God was you special.

Pete and I, we’ll both miss you so much.

No.

Gabby, what are you doing in Megan’s room? What the hell are you doing In my sister’s bed?

So just to be clear, you. You just said yes. Yes. And just to be extra clear, yes. Demetri, I will marry you.

Well, Mr. Stock, I’m waiting. Would you mind telling me why you were robbing my ancestral home? Robbing. That is a strong word. Why would you think I was robbing? I. Oh, this isn’t the cork screw I was looking for. Silly me. Speaking of which I hear it’s like Tuscany down in that cell, an abundance of exceptional wines for every pallet.

You may wanna try the kitchen. Yeah. Um, there’s a corkscrew, I think, in the drawer, in the left hand side, right underneath the espresso machine. Will do. Thank you. Great. Leo, that was sarcasm. Oh, and here, I thought you were being gracious and hospitable. Look, I don’t know what you’re doing, but you’re gonna have plenty of time to talk with Salem’s Finest.

You see, I’m gonna call the police. I’m calling.

The judge called us into Tams right after he broke for lunch. Hey, hey, no worries. I uh, got us drinks. Oh good. I see it’s like 95 degrees outside

something the matter, you know, what’s the matter? Sean, you’re on duty. Do you think you should be drinking?

Like Sam through the hour class, so are lives,

oh, come on, Kristin, the police. There is no crime being committed here. I’m just a normal everyday guy. Who’s studying for his sommelier exam in October. Okay. You know, just stop the adorable little yarn before you even put a spin on it. What were you doing forcing your way into that drawer? I. Okay. I’m not studying to be a someone, but it is on my bucket list and I am something of a wine connoisseur.

Mm-hmm. And also a jewelry connoisseur as well. Yeah. I believe it was a little over a year ago when you broke in here and stole my sister-in-law, Abigail’s precious gems. And that was also the night she just happened to be murdered, which I had nothing to do with. And believe me, I have paid the consequences of my ill timed revenge kick witch along with smoking and snorting baby powder.

I’m totally off of now, I swear. So what pretail are you on now? I’m not on anything. I am merely in search of the truth, an honorable and noble pursuit. No. And what truth are you in pursuit of Mr. Stock? I’m trying to get the goods on D V L.

So you mean it, you’ll really marry me. Yes. Yes. I mean, how many languages would you like me to say? Hate in Portuguese or Cantonese, perhaps. No, no, no. English is fine. I’m just, I’m, I’m surprised, delighted, don’t get me wrong, but surprised. Yes. Well, I, I know I, I was hesitant at the beginning, but um,

I changed my mind, obviously when your mother was shot, so you said yes. Because of my mother,

come sit with me. Mm-hmm.

It was partly because of what your mother said when we went to go and visit her in the hospital. What she said about seizing opportunities with courage and not letting life pass you by.

But really it was you. I could see how much you love her and how scared you were to lose her,

and

it was more to it than that. I just suppose I saw another side to you, Dimitri’s side, that’s tender and. Vulnerable. One that doesn’t really get a lot of air time, if you will.

And I looked at you and I realized that you are. You are not just some criminal mastermind in more than that. You are not just some man who imprisoned Kate on that fishing boat. Or tried to blow up the whole bloody world with an almanian peacock.

You’re human. Dimitri,

a beautiful human at that.

What am I doing here? What? What do you think I’m doing here? Does it look like it’s by choice? Well, I mean, I wouldn’t think you and Stephan would choose Megan wrong for your kinky sex rom. Not funny. And where the hell is Megan? Well, that’s the burning question, unfortunately. See, I came here to see that.

Sick bitch was the one behind Harris’ attempt on Stephan’s life because Lee kept on insisting that she was the mastermind behind it all. So I figured the only way to know the truth is to come here and confront her face to face.

Hi. Hi.

I just thought I’d come down and pay my respects as well.

It’s just so senseless, unfair that he’s gone so soon.

How are you? Oh, well, with the baby, I hope. Yeah, I, uh, I had a follow up appointment with the doctor and she said that everything seems fine. That’s great. I’m sure HJ thinks so too.

Actually he wasn’t there.

Gabby, you were right about me. My just hypnotized me. Long story short, a memory surface of my sister admitting that she was gonna have Stephan killed. Oh my God. That’s psychopath. Mm. I came here to choke the truth out of her. Oh, I came up here to do the same. And it appears she turned the tables on you, but considering she’s recovering from a gunshot wound, how the hell does she manage that?

It’s like you said, it’s 90 something degrees out. I mean, I can’t help it if I’m thirsty Bell. It’s just, it’s a beer. That’s it. John, you’re working and I’m on my lunch break. All right. I’m not drunk.

What? What? Go ahead. Go ahead and tell me what you’re thinking. You know what I’m thinking, what That I, that I have a drinking problem. But then I need to go to aa. Maybe I need to get a sponsor. I need to make amends to the, to the kid whose m and ms I stole in the second grade. Is that just to get him close there?

Huh? Okay. You know, Shawn, I have tried to give you space because I know that you’re in pain. I know that you’re, you’re suffering terribly about what happened with your dad, and I get it. I get that you feel a lot of guilt and regret, and you’re trying to numb that with alcohol. But I am not gonna enable this anymore.

This has to stop. D V L. What the hell is that? Uh, your nephew, Dimitri von Leischner. Does that ring a bell? Well, why the hell would you wanna get the goods on him? Oh my God. Are you hing a schoolboy crush? Perhaps? No. I’m not harboring anything but suspicion and a desire to make sure that my friend Gwen, whom he’s weirdly determined to marry, does not get hurt.

Well, that is a hell of a way to get yourself uninvited from the wedding. Mr. Breaking and entering. Well, maybe you could get a job on the catering staff. Hmm. Well, since I was summarily dismissed from my last catering job, after the hostess caught me eating artichoke cini and her heart-shaped jacuzzi, highly unlikely.

Let’s just get back to the topic at hand, shall we? It is rather presumptuous of you to think that my nephew ISN insincere in his marriage proposal. Oh, please. I have seen videos of kittens riding on robot vacuums that have gone on longer than those two know each other. Don’t you remember any of this? I told you about it when I found you and EJ in the secret room and you said it sounded vaguely familiar.

Are you telling me you have no idea why Dimitri is so eager to get Gwen to say I do? Even if that means deceiving a woman who is apparently a good friend of yours. Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want?

Oh, Gwen, you just make me so happy whenever I’m with you. I, I always feel like the man that I always was meant to be. You’re the only one that can bring who’s ever brought that out in me, and I promise you. You will not regret this. I bloody hope not. At least not before I publish the engagement announcement in this spectator.

Well, speaking of shall we make it official?

Oh boy.

So beautiful, Dimitri. It’s beautiful.

My beautiful ring for my beautiful bride to be.

Hey, Jay, didn’t go to your appointment with you. Well, he and Kristen went to see your mother to see if she could help them, remember why Megan pulled them into that secret room. But don’t you think EJ could have waited till after you’ve gone to your doctor’s appointment? I mean, considering the scare you had the other day?

He wanted to go to my appointment, but I told him it was more important that he recovered his memory, if that’s even possible, to make his lunatic sister pay for what she’s done. So this never happens again. I’m sorry. Completely none of my business. I was just concerned about you after the scare you had.

Thank you, Eric. But EJ is also concerned about his unborn child and he loves this baby and he loves me

and I love him.

Well, I showed up here and there she was, Megan Demara lying in this bed, helpless, like a little turtle on its back. I had her right where I wanted. She was about to tell me the truth that she si Harris on Stephan. And then somebody grabbed me from behind. Who? Dr. Rolfe. Rolfe. He was the one who did this to you?

Yeah. He surprised me, but I could have taken that bastard easy. So he struggled a little bit and then he managed to get the better of me. So you are saying this isn’t one of those, you should see the other guy type of thing? Unfortunately not. Okay. But wait, what prompted Dr. Rolfe to come back? Apparently he was keeping tabs on EJ and Kristen and when he found out that they had recovered their memories, he showed up here to whisk Megan away to safety.

Bitch didn’t even leave me or applesauce. Do you have any idea where they went? No, I don’t know, but Rolfe mentioned something about a submarine.

I shouldn’t question AJ’s devotion to you or the baby. It’s just. You need your reaction after all those weeks that he left you alone.

I understand. And I, I’m sorry too. I I didn’t mean to jump down your throat. No, you don’t have to be,

can’t imagine the pain you’re going through right now after everything that’s happened with the baby and no. It’s just, it’s just so heartbreaking.

I know this has gotta be painful for you too.

Thank you.

It’s just, I still can’t believe he’s gone. I. And it’s so unfair. He was such a good man, and the only reason this happened was because he was looking out for Paulina and Chanel. I mean, he looked out for everybody that he loved and he always looked out for me, that’s for sure. Like your father. And now I just.

I know. I’ll miss him. I’ll miss him.

Well, EJ shot outta here like a rocket. As much as I wanted to catch Megan. I’m sure she’s at the bottom of the C bite now. No, I used to, I used to date a submariner. I remember him talking about one of the cooks made it to die for her lobster. This, oh, fascinating. You know what, instead of blathering on about C, why don’t you help me outta these cuffs?

Oh, oh, oh, of course. That’s right. Oh, wait a minute. I forgot my trustee. Hacksaw. Yeah. Wasn’t thinking so. Call the cops. Cops. Yeah. Who else? I mean some. I’m sure somebody in the department will take an interest in freeing the commissioner’s sister.

Uh huh. What is that number? You know the number. And as soon as you’re done, why don’t you tell me why you’re even here. Got a dog in this fight, Kate.

You know, I’m fine. Fine. You’re the boss, Sean. You know what? Actually, why don’t I skip lunch too? Hmm. I mean, who needs to eat anyway? Right? And you know what? While I’m at it, why don’t I just go turn in my badge and join a monastery like son, stop. What are you doing? I lost my appetite, bill. And you know what?

And since you’re so tired of finding empty bottles, There you go. I left you a full one.

What was that all about?

You’re remembering something, aren’t you? That is the face of someone remembering something.

In any case, when I do convince Gwen to marry me, it’ll be for richer and not for poorer. You, uh, may be onto something about Dimitri having an underlying agenda. Oh my God, Kristen Deira. If you remember your Prodigal nephew’s real reason for wanting to marry Gwen, then in the name of all that is holy spill the tea.

Please look, like I said before, this is not about me. This is about my best friend she deserves to know, and, and you care about Gwen, right? The two of you were cellmates at Statesville. And I’ve seen the Shawshank Redemption twice. Well, it caught bits and pieces enough to know that the two of you must have had a special bond.

We were cellmates for all of 24 hours. Not sure how much special bonding we achieved. Yeah, Kristen, look, if you know that Dimitri is going to break Gwen’s heart into a million little pieces, You owe it to her to tell me,

I hate to do this, but what? I should go right now. I need to tell my mother. I need to tell her the the wonderful news. Wait, can’t we just. Mm. I don’t know. Can’t we just like track down a, a carrier pigeon or something to give her the message? God. Okay. Right. Yes. Fine. That’s your mother. Something wrong. No, it, it’s just, I don’t know.

I just. Ah, I just thought maybe just, maybe we could, um,

So he’s hitting a bottle hard, huh? Yeah. He’s still struggling with what happened with Beau. Damn. I was hoping he, he’s up on himself on there. Yeah. Well, he’s not, I keep telling him there’s nothing he could have done differently, know that he was just forced to make a terrible choice. I told him that. Told him the same damn thing, but doesn’t say more than I hear.

Yeah, but that’s the thing is he knows nobody blames him. He just can’t stop blaming himself. Okay. The police are on their way. Yeah. I guess we’ll just listen to the sirens. Hmm. Hopefully they get here before I start to chafe. Oh, do you want me to call them? Tell them to stop for some hour along the way?

No, actually, I’d like for you to answer the question that I asked earlier. That’s so funny. I don’t remember a question. Anyway, I have to get going. So stop right there. Okay. See, I know you, I know you very well and I know when you’re hiding something, and I’m guessing it has to do with Megan, and if that’s true, it’s very important that I know.

So tell me. How are you involved with her?

Oh, each, uh,

I was just leaving flowers for Aen. I pumped into Eric. Uh, It looks like a very moving tribute. He was obviously loved by many. But what, what are you doing here? Did you get a chance to see Marlena? I did. Yes. Yes, I did. Uh, your mother’s hypnosis proved quite effective memories of what occurred, and that secret room came flooding back.

And once they did, I took it upon myself to confront Megan Mano, or Mano only to find and much to my displeasure that she’s absconded from the hospital. What, how it appears Wilhelm Rolfe provided a helping hand. Do you have any idea where they could have gone well here? Oh, so I thought apparently Elvis had the same idea that I had because when I arrived at the hospital, I found Gabby Hernandez trust up in Megan’s handcuffs, courtesy of.

Dr. Rolfe, but Gabby did say before Megan was spirited away, that Rolfe mentioned something about a, a submarine, which is why I came down to the docks. But if my sister was here, um, it appears she’s long gone.

How am I involved with Megan? Oh, let’s see. That’s right. She’s the one who tried to have me killed. So you came by to what? Finish her off. No, that sleeping with the fishes isn’t exactly what the monster deserves.

So tell me, which one of you idiots let Megan Hathaway escape

you? You’re right When, and I did bond when we were at Statesville. I taught her everything she needs to know about Texas. Hold. Great. Great. So then you’ll help her. I already have, as I informed my nephew when I got the pardon from the governor, I got one for Gwen as well. So if anything Miss Riz check.

Well, she’s in debt to me. Uh ooh. If we’re talking about debts, then you, Sirina, Deira are in Deto. Tomio. Am I. And how’s that? Well, if I hadn’t been Johnny on the spot and shown up when I did, you and EJ would still be tied up in the secret room. Well then I’ll just make sure to send you one of those edible arrangements.

So that’s it. You de mirrors just close ranks and screw everybody else. We de mirrors protect what’s ours speaking of, are you gonna shove off? What do I actually have to call the police?

Fine, I’ll go. But word of warning. This is not the last you have seen of Mr. Leo Stark. A K a Maddie Cooper. But do not ever call me that. Only when he gets to.

You know, it might not be the, um, most appropriate time to bring up. Mothers. But, um, I think yours would be quite pleased to know what kept her waiting, but perhaps just, um, leave out the specifics of why we were delayed. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Definitely not. No, I would say we just keep it to, we got held up celebrating.

I know how it’s possible, but somehow you are more enchanting every single time. I,

I can’t wait to,

and why should we wait? We can go to the courthouse right now. We could be legally married by this afternoon. Before they even throw out the first pitch, the Cubs came.

Are you serious? You get married today? Yeah. With the heading of strike while the iron’s hot. Mm. I’m not really sure that that applies to its marriage. Um, and I, I’ll admit, I what

I. Hoping for something just a wee bit more romantic, huh? Well, what could be more romantic than the two of us proclaiming our undying love for each other? Just you and me.

Just you? Me? Mm-hmm. And the county clerk. I mean, it’s not exactly eloping to some nice tropical island. Is it saying our vows under the cover of darkness? I think it’d be nice to have a swaying palm tree close by, perhaps some dolphins doing some sorts in the background. So you want to get married in the screensaver.

Are you suggesting that I’m shallow? Mr. Vaughn Ner? Never. No. I was just teasing because that’s the last thing you are, that’s kind of you.

Honestly, I don’t, I don’t even know what I want, which is why I was hoping for the time to figure it out before we say I do. Really? What’s the hurry darling?

Damn, some young entrepreneurs should, uh, disrupt the handcuff industry. Find something a little smoother on the wrist. Okay, so lemme get this straight here. So, okay, so, so Megan escaped in a submarine. Yeah. I mean, I, I don’t know, obviously, but the Rolf mentioned he had one. Yeah. Well, did he mention, was it yellow?

Was Ringo star waiting to board? Uh, how long ago did they leave? I don’t know, an hour, give or take. Okay, good, good. Maybe there’s a chance I can still catch up with him.

Okay. So if he thinks he’s going to catch up with Megan and Rolf, he’s the one that’s an idiot. Well, the police are on their way and not that it will do much good. I assume Megan is halfway to Bermuda by now. Okay. Listen, I know it’s gonna take time. But justice will catch up to her eventually. One can help.

So, um, how did it go with the doctor? Well, she said the same thing that Tripp said in the er, that the baby is perfectly healthy. Thank God that is, that is brilliant news. Mm-hmm. Oh, that reminds me, I, uh, made arrangements with that, uh, specialist, the perinatologist. I’m flying her back in. I think she’d rather appreciated the first class ticket.

Oh, ej. But I, I told you the baby’s fine. So there’s no needs. I have every faith in your physician. I just, I just wanted to bring Dr. Laurenson back into the fold because I hated that I missed the first appointment with her. Especially since she gave you such excellent news about the baby and over the coming months.

I want to learn everything I can about what we need to do in preparation for bringing our baby into this world, and I want to do that as a couple together.

You’re absolutely right. Of course there’s no rush. It’s just that I’ve been waiting for someone like you my entire life, and I’m a little bit impatient, obviously.

Yes, I know the feeling. It’s just that, um, after one rather disastrous attempt. I’ve never been married before, and so I really, I really wanna make it something special.

I promise you, Glen, it will be. So how does the end of the month sound? It is enough time for you to gather a few girlfriends for a bridal shower in the next couple of weeks and have to make some phone calls, but if it all works out, I think I might have a fabulous destination in mind at the end of this month.

Oh, yeah, isn’t time for my birthday? My, uh, my 40th actually. Oh yes. Um, how’s that relevant? Well, now it’s gonna sound a bit silly, but, um, well, I made a promise to myself a while back that, that I would be married by the time I turned 40, and I hate breaking promises, especially to myself, but my 40, oh, um, well, it just feels like a significant milestone.

Uh, it’s a time where I should finally become the man. I’m meant to be a man who is mature and um, A man who was settled,

a man that you deserve, Gwen,

right then we shall celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Right after our very fabulous wedding.

Okay, Dimitri, you gorgeous little international fugitive. Surely you’ve left some breadcrumbs for lady whistleblower, something that will explain why you are so eager to get hitched

Dema. You sweet smelling. Son of a bitch.

Oh no, Leo, focus. You’re here for Gwen. Remember

nothing. Nothing. I feel like Geraldo and Al Capone’s Vault. Hi, Leo. You’re dating yourself.

Oh, I pray that the Salem PD steps up to the plate this time and finds that damn submarine. Well, considering all the havoc that Megan’s inflicted on everyone, I’m sure they’re highly motivated.

Listen, I, I just wanna say that. When you showed up on the docks and saw me hugging Eric, you, you don’t have to explain. Well, I, I feel like I, DOJ you were visiting Abe’s Memorial. It makes sense that you would see comfort in your friend, and that’s all it was. I, I’m really grateful that you understand.

Nicole, we love each other. We’re having a baby together. That’s all that matters to me, and I promise you this,

my priority from now on is you and me and a precious little baby.

Hey, you’re site for Surah. Wow. Hey, tough morning. Hey. Uh, yeah, it was kind of where you in? Uh, the hospital. Oh, the hospital? Yes. I wanted to go by and check up on Command Harris, make sure he doesn’t get into any anymore trouble, you know? You know what though? Macon escaped while I was there. What? Yeah. What did police say?

Well, yes, Shawn, Shawn showed up right when I was leaving. He’s on the case, you know, so hopefully they find her.

Hey mom, it’s me, Shawn. Uh, listen, um, I hate pulling you away from dad like this, but, uh, there’s something that you need to know, but Megan, she’s on the loose again. Look, I like, I hate scaring you like this, but I just need to make sure that you’re being extra careful. All right. The last thing I want is for you and dad to get hurt any worse than you already have been.

Yeah, of course, of course. I love you too. And, um, tell dad, tell dad that I love him and that I’m thinking about him. I’m thinking about him every second of every day and not that, not that he can hear you. Yeah, no. Of co Yeah, of course. I may. Yeah. You know what? Maybe he can, I, I, yeah, I hope so. Listen, so I, if anything changes, I will let you know as soon as possible.

Okay. All right, bye.

Hello? Hello, Kristen, I heard about your ordeal in the Dema Secret Room. Uh, well, nothing a, uh, bitter tasting cappuccino won’t fix. Well, I’m glad to see you are None the worst for wear. Mm. Well, my memory’s still a little fuzzy and, uh, few unsettling dreams, but, uh, other than that, no lasting damage, hopefully.

Oh, how are you? I’m engaged.

I’ve got you now. Z Yvonne Leischner.

Star, how are you doing in my room? What am I doing? I’m about to expose you for the malicious swindler You are? No, no, no. Dvl. The jig is up. You’re only marrying Gwen to get your hands on this money. That’s preposterous. Oh yeah. We’ll see about that. Where do you think you’re going to tell Gwen everything And there’s nothing you can do to stop me?

No, I think there is.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Thomas: Everything’s gonna be all right.

Hope: No, it won’T. Because liam saw me kiss you in rome.

Wyatt: Hey. Hi. I heard you were in here. Just didn’t know you were coming back today, considering– so how did it go with hope? That good, huh?

Steffy: I thought I made myself clear back in rome. Look, I– I know you’re going through a lot right now. You’re freaking out about what you saw. Hope and thomas kissing and maybe you think that you made a mistake putting your trust in hope. I don’t know. But I feel bad for you. I really do. But you can’t come here and kiss me. I am a married woman, liam. Happily married. You need to respect that.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: Tried calling you. You okay? I’m sure thomas freaked when he realized his secret kiss with hope isn’t a secret after all.

Steffy: Thomas was totally blindsided when I told him I knew about the kiss.

Finn: He had no idea that anyone saw him at the colosseum with hope?

Steffy: No.

Finn: Hm.

Steffy: He was pretty upset when I told him. And he was concerned about hope and her marriage and he urged me not to say anything. But he was even more stunned to hear that I heard about the kiss from liam.

Wyatt: So what happened with you and hope?

Liam: I mean, she apologized. She… asked for forgiveness.

Wyatt: I mean, I still can’t believe she’d do something like this. I mean, jeopardize your marriage just to kiss thomas.

Liam: Neither can I.

Wyatt: So? Were you able to do what she asked though? Have you gotten to a place where you can maybe forgive her and save your marriage?

Hope: You know, liam warned me. My mom warned me, but I insisted that everything was fine. You know, you were his biggest fear in our marriage. And what did I do? I– I kissed you. Me. I did that… to my marriage, to my family and now my whole world is… upside down. Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Steffy: Thomas was shocked that liam saw hope kissing him. He didn’t even know liam was in rome. Thomas said that they were just caught up in the moment after the preview. That’s all it was. But honestly, he didn’t really have any excuses. He wasn’t defending himself. He just feels terrible and he doesn’t want hope to end up hurt.

Finn: But hope had no intention of telling her husband?

Steffy: I guess not.

Finn: Hm. Yeah, she put my brother in a terrible position.

Finn: True. But thomas is a grown man. He could have stopped hope from kissing him or, you know, never been alone with her in one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Steffy: Yeah. I don’t– I don’t see this ending well. We know that my brother has made changes in his life, wonderful changes, but… liam doesn’t buy it. He doesn’t trust him and now he doesn’t trust hope. And he’s always been able to blame thomas and he always sees hope as this innocent woman. And now I think he finally realizes that hope’s the issue and I’m sure he can’t get that image of hope and thomas kissing out of his head.

Wyatt: Do you think you could possibly forgive hope?

Liam: I would have to understand what’s going on with her first. Why did she do this?

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, she knows you’ve had issues with thomas for a while now. Like why would she do the one thing that would ruin your marriage?

Liam: I mean, she, you know, she told me she loves me. She asked for forgiveness, but she can’t explain why– she can’t explain why she did the thing that she wants my forgiveness for. And that scares me. I mean, how foolish do I have to be? Here I was traveling halfway across the world to show her my love and support. And it turns out she’s– she’s moved on, she’s fallen for somebody else in the eternal city, like, you know.

Wyatt: Yeah, if you think about it that way, it’s pretty egregious. But you’ve been in this situation before, liam. You’ve both made mistakes in the past and you’ve both been able to forgive each other for your sake and for the marriage and for the children.

Liam: Yeah. But… what do I do if it’s just a fact that I can’t trust her anymore? Because wyatt, I’m not– I don’t wanna be that guy that doesn’t have confidence in his own marriage. That’s constantly walking around wondering if his wife is cheating on him. That’s not who I want to be and it’s not who I’m willing to become.

Wyatt: Okay. You sound pretty resolved about this. So what– what are you saying exactly?

Liam: I’m saying what I said to her. I– I still want a divorce.

Thomas: Liam will get over this, okay? It was just a kiss.

Hope: You know he will never see this as just a kiss.

Thomas: Look, he has made plenty of mistakes in the past and you always forgave him.

Hope: No, I know. But this is the ultimate betrayal because it’s you. And I get it. I get it. So I um… asked for forgiveness. I fought for our marriage, and–

Thomas: How did he react?

Hope: Like I said, liam wants a divorce, so.

Thomas: I am so sorry, hope. I never wanted to cause you any more pain or heartache.

Hope: Thomas, don’t do that. Don’t, okay? This is not on you, it’s on me. I kissed you. With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Finn: Wait, so are you saying that thomas just took the heat for this? Did you tell him that you knew it was all hope that initiated the kiss?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. I– I told thomas it– it wasn’t his fault that liam saw hope lean in to kiss thomas and I was trying my best not to judge him. And honestly, I– I could tell that thomas has changed.

Finn: Well certainly, I mean, if he’s willing to sacrifice himself to protect hope.

Steffy: Oh, yeah. Like, he wants to protect her at all costs. He had some kind of like visceral reaction which shows me that he’s grown. He’s not this like little boy anymore. He’s like a man.

Finn: Or this could be a sign of how deep his feelings are for hope.

Steffy: Yeah, I think it’s apparent that the feelings are mutual.

Wyatt: So nothing’s changed for you? You still want a divorce.

[ Sighs ] Man, I– I’m sorry. I just– well, how did hope take it? I mean, I’m sure she doesn’t want that.

Liam: I mean, no, she was– she was fighting for another chance, at least at first.

Wyatt: Okay. But what about you? Like is this– this really it? Like you want a divorce?

Hope: No, thomas, don’t do that. I– I don’t want you feeling guilty. And yes, in the past, you may have struggled with certain things but this, what– what happened between us, that’s on me.

Thomas: No. Look, you were– you were caught up in the city. You were in rome, one of the most beautiful places and– and the success of our line. And I wanted you to bask in the glory of that and I should have just kept my distance.

Hope: Well, the thing is thomas I, um– I wanted to be close to you. I’ve, um, been fighting this for a while now and I’m not proud of it. I um– I don’t even understand it. And yet I still gave in, knowing the risks. I kissed you. And so, yes, maybe– maybe there is something wrong with me.

Thomas: No, no. Hold on. No, no, there’s nothing wrong with you. There’s never been anything wrong with you. You’re one of the most wonderful, loving, committed people…

Hope: Okay. Well, I– I don’t feel that way now. Because I might have destroyed my marriage. I might have destroyed my family and… for what?

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry? Their marriage work.

Steffy: Yeah, I just, I– I don’t wanna see liam hurt or my brother.

Finn: That’s because you got such a good heart. And you stand up for people and you have such principles. You know, I was thinking today just how grateful I am that I get to come home to you, every day. I missed you when you were away.

Wyatt: Have you thought this whole divorce thing through? Hm. Like, have you really thought it through? Because come on, you’re not the type of guy to rush to this kind of conclusion and throw your whole life away on a whim.

Liam: Of course, I don’t want a divorce, wyatt. I– I didn’t want any of this, but it happened.

Wyatt: Okay. Well, I thought that the love that you and hope shared could overcome anything.

Liam: Anything but this. Anything but thomas and I– and I had been clear about that for years, but she invited him in any way. She pursued him anyway. And whether she’s willing to admit it to me or not, hope has feelings for thomas.

Thomas: Okay, hope. Look, I– I think you’re taking this a little too far. Right? I mean, look, you made one mistake but that doesn’t take away from the years where you have been the most amazing and wonderful wife and mother. Liam, he– he just needs time, right? To– to deal with his initial hurt and anger.

Hope: Oh, yeah, he’s hurt all right. He’s so hurt that he–

Thomas: What?

Hope: He went to see your sister. Yeah, he wants steffy again. That same old song and dance and liam and his divided feelings. But when I’m with you, thomas, and you look at me… you make me feel like I am the only woman in the world. And so that is why… I will always remember the two of us in front of the colosseum.

Thomas: What are you saying?

Hope: Liam wants steffy. And I want the man who only wants me. I want you, thomas.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Audra: Good morning, mr. Newman.

Victor: Audra, good morning.

Audra: Morning.

Victor: Please have a seat.

Audra: Thank you.

Victor: Thank you for coming.

Audra: How can I refuse?

Victor: Well, it was an invitation, not a command, you know.

Audra: Well, when victor newman invites you to breakfast, you show up. Especially when it’s your first day in a new role at newman media.

Victor: I hope I’m not keeping you from more important things.

Audra: How impossible. You’re not just the founder of the company. You’re an inspiration and it’s an honor to have this one on one with you.

Victor: Thank you.

Audra: Um, I’m probably embarrassing myself. I’m– I’m sure you’ve had plenty of yes men and women buttering you up over the years, right?

Victor: There is nothing wrong with flattery, as long as it is genuine, authentic.

Audra: Of course. Well, I– I’m sure you didn’t invite me here to test my ability to praise you. Uh, so this must be about my new job at newman media.

Victor: Mm-hmm. I just want you to know, audra, that newman enterprises is more than just a business to me. It’s family, it’s my lifeblood. Therefore, I don’t like certain lines to be crossed.

Audra: You think a line has been crossed?

Victor: I’ve become aware that you and a certain member of my family have become acquainted. And I asked you to come here to give you a serious warning.

[ Sally sighing ]

Chelsea: Well, thanks for breakfast. This is a nice change of pace from my usual at crimson lights.

Billy: But you’d like a change of surroundings, you know. It’s not as easy to do dinner with you wanting to spend as much time as possible with connor, but now that he’s at sports camp, I’ll get you to myself.

Chelsea: Yeah, and I get to have fancy waffles guilt-free.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Daniel: Chelsea. Uh, sorry to interrupt.

Billy: Hey.

Daniel: Glad I ran into you. I actually left you a message.

Chelsea: Oh, ah, you know, my phone is off. Is everything okay?

Daniel: No, everything’s great. I just wanted to share the good news about omegasphere.

Chelsea: Well, I– I heard that the numbers from my game are climbing, but slowly.

Daniel: They are building every day. That’s the key. It means that the game is starting to take off. And even better, there’s been a ton of great reviews from the gaming press and bloggers.

Chelsea: Really? I haven’t seen those.

Daniel: We’ll have pr send over the links. The buzz has been good.

Billy: That’s good. That’s great. Congratulations to you both.

Summer: Chelsea. I am glad to see you. You’re actually on my to-do list for today.

Billy: So much for a quiet breakfast. Aren’t you in high demand?

Chelsea: Well, I– I can’t imagine why I’d be on your checklist.

Summer: Well, I wanted to follow up on my brilliant idea from a few months ago for you to come and work with me at marchetti. The timing couldn’t be better.

Daniel: Hold on. Are you trying to poach my star employee? Are you stealing talent from your own brother?

Sally: Ugh. What now?

[ Knock on door ] How many times have I asked you to leave me alone? Please, just go away.

Nick: Is that any way to talk to your boyfriend?

Sally: I am so sorry. I did not know it was you. You got here really fast.

Nick: You thought it was adam?

Sally: Well, he won’t give up.

Nick: What’s he want now?

Sally: I don’t know. But it seems the more I ask him to back off, the more persistent he gets. Even when I was with the people I love,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nick: Look, I really feel for what he’s going through, losing the baby and then having to make that choice. It’s– it’s impossible. And then, he’s battling my dad. I just– I was really hoping he would listen to me when I told him to give you some space.

Sally: Look, you don’t have to fix my problems, nick.

Nick: Right now, I do because you need to focus on healing. Not that it matters. I mean, adam just turned it into an argument and he didn’t hold back.

Sally: I’m sorry.

Nick: I’m not because he brought up something that you and I need to deal with.

Sally: Oh, great. So you’re taking relationship advice from adam now.

Nick: In this case, I am. Because you said the same thing the other day when you broke down. When you were at the hospital, I wasn’t there and you needed me.

Sally: Look, I was raw and upset. It was not meant to be an accusation.

Nick: But it was honest.

Sally: Look, I– I don’t blame you, okay? Uh, you had to be there for faith. You and sharon had to save your daughter and I– I get that more than ever now. And you had no idea that my daughter’s life was in danger too.

Nick: Well, that sounds logical and rational, but the fact is I wasn’t there when you needed me most.

Sally: Look, I– I really don’t want you to beat yourself up over it, okay? And I hate that adam made you feel bad about it, which is another reason why I want him out of my life. You know, he twists everything for his benefit. It’s just hurtful and manipulative and I hate it. So, um, you know, he needs to understand that if he cannot respect my wishes, then there is no more room for him in my life.

Audra: I hope I didn’t do anything to upset you, sir. Look, I’m not sure what you’ve heard, but I can assure you that whatever it is, I– I can explain.

Victor: You’re not the reason for my warning. My son adam is. Do you know him?

Audra: Uh, I met him recently at the athletic club lounge. Um, it was brief and it was before I– I was asked to fill in for nate.

Victor: Who approached whom?

Audra: I initiated the conversation.

Victor: Or so you thought.

Audra: Do you believe adam orchestrated our meeting?

Victor: I know my son can be quite charming.

Audra: Hm. Well, I promise you, I spilled no company secrets. Look, I am aware that adam is in charge of mccall. So I– I made sure I didn’t give away anything about newman media.

Victor: Good. Audra, I asked you here to forewarn you. My son, adam, is aiming to take over newman media. I don’t know when he will strike, but he will strike. Are you ready for the battle?

Summer: No, I don’t see it as poaching. I see it as sharing the creative wealth. I mean, your video game has launched, right? I figured you’d be looking for a new challenge.

Daniel: Right, but hiring chelsea away seems a little out of the blue like something you might have discussed with your brother first.

Chelsea: Well, no offense to either one of you, but I’m perfectly capable of fielding my own job offers.

Daniel: Of course, you are. I am just pointing out that you are valued at omegasphere.

Chelsea: Well, I appreciate that. And summer, I remember when you offered me this role previously and I turned you down.

Summer: I know, but it’s been a little while now and marchetti could really use your talents now more than ever.

Chelsea: Why is that?

Summer: There have been some changes and it’s presented a really unique opportunity. You and I would actually be running marchetti together.

Billy: Uh, isn’t that job taken by your husband?

Summer: Oh, you haven’t heard? Kyle’s leaving and I’m taking over as ceo, which is why I would love for you, chelsea, to take my position as creative director.

Billy: I’m sorry, kyle’s leaving?

Daniel: Can I speak with you for a minute, privately?

Summer: Chelsea, please consider my offer. I think it could be really great.

Chelsea: I will. Thank you.

Daniel: Excuse us.

Billy: Uh, I apologize. I’m gonna have to head back to the office and I’m gonna need a large coffee to go. So, why don’t I take you home?

Chelsea: Sounds great.

Daniel: Hey. What was that all about? What’s going on with you?

Summer: Kyle and I have separated. For people who are a little intense about hydration. With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com

Billy: First diane, now kyle. I don’t think it’s a good thing to have your co-ce. Being left in the dark like that, jack. No, I– I– yes, I understand, it’s a unique situation and I feel for them both, but the courtesy of– of a heads up would be great. Thank you very much. That’s all I’m asking. Bye, talk to you soon.

Chelsea: So?

Billy: So, I now know why kyle is no longer at marchetti and why I didn’t find out about it until now. I guess it happened very quickly. Summer and kyle have separated and summer moved out.

Chelsea: Oh, no, I’m sorry to hear that. Makes sense why summer was so intense earlier though.

Billy: Yeah. And it also makes sense why daniel and summer both value your talent.

Chelsea: I don’t know. I mean, should I even consider this marchetti offer? Summer seems almost desperate.

Billy: I mean, if you’re asking me, I think it’s a hell of an opportunity.

Chelsea: But I thought you felt omegasphere was a good idea?

Billy: It is. I’m just seeing the perks, you know. Seeing you in and around the office would be fantastic. I wouldn’t have to squeeze in time between dinner and a movie.

Chelsea: So, you have purely selfish motives? You just want to work together again.

Billy: It wouldn’t be the same as the podcast. You know, we wouldn’t be working directly with each other, but if I get to see you in and around the water cooler, I’m gonna see that as a bonus. What do you say?

Daniel: Are you sure that you and kyle can’t work through this? Separation just seems so extreme.

Summer: Nothing is final. I– I got a room upstairs, but it’s not gonna be for long.

Daniel: Can I ask you why you seem so optimistic?

Summer: Kyle just needs some time. I mean, we’ve been through rough patches like this in the past and we always get back together. I mean, it’s what we do.

Daniel: Okay. I– I hope so. I just want you to be realistic too.

Summer: Wait, I’m sorry. Is this you being supportive right now?

Daniel: I am feeling like a protective older brother. You know, as someone who lived through a separation recently. When time apart, when it becomes permanent, that gut punch can hurt if it comes out of left field.

Summer: Look, I’m clinging to hope right now and you’re telling me to prepare for the worst.

Daniel: No, I just don’t want to see you hurt anymore. We did inherit a fierce ability to deny reality from our mother. Look where she is now.

Nick: Victoria forced me to take a leave of absence, allegedly to use the personal time to deal with the recent turmoil.

Sally: I’m part of that turmoil, aren’t I?

Nick: Yeah, but you’re worth it. No, but I am here to support you.

Sally: And sharon and faith. Look, maybe she’s right. You know, you always feel the need to be there for everyone else, but you have been through a lot too.

Nick: Honestly, if I thought I needed some time off, I would take it. But this is mandatory and I just don’t buy that it is for my own good.

Sally: You think there’s another motive?

Nick: I think vic and my replacement have other goals in mind.

Sally: Let me guess who replaced you… nate hastings.

Nick: You got it. And I have a feeling if it’s up to nate, I will not have a job to come back to.

Audra: Are you sure adam is trying to make a move? You know, maybe he’s bluffing, trying to goad victoria? Look, I know they don’t get along.

Victor: I know my son and he doesn’t make idle threats. He has declared war.

Audra: Then, he’ll get a war. Newman media will be safe under my watch. I have a question for you. You own mccall unlimited, don’t you? The same company that adam is using to go against newman media. Why are you playing both sides here?

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victor: Don’t you concern yourself with what angle I’m playing. You just pay attention to what adam is up to. I do not want him to take over newman media. (Wheezing)

Sally: So, how are you going to keep your sister and nate from pushing you out of your job?

Nick: I’m not gonna sweat it. I didn’t want this time off, but I’m gonna use it to take care of the people I care about. So don’t worry about me. No matter how things shake out at newman, I’m gonna be just fine.

Sally: God, I admire your calm. If I were you, I could not sit still. Of course, I am already climbing the walls because everything in this room reminds me of everything that happened.

Nick: Well, why don’t you try and focus on something else other than your grief? You know, something that’s rewarding for you. How are things going at chancellor winters?

Sally: No clue. Chloe has been calling me and I have been putting her off.

Nick: What’s she want?

Sally: I don’t know, I think just to check in as a friend. But she probably also needs help with work. I know she’s been doing everything on her own since the pregnancy complications.

Nick: I think you should call her. You know, some work or even just a friendly visit. It might be exactly what you need right now.

Chelsea: I’m not sure about such a big change. Not just going back to fashion, but this job summer is offering, it’s gonna be a lot of pressure and very public.

Billy: Yes, that’s all true. And if you’re not ready for it, that’s– that’s okay. But what do you– what do you think about the gaming job then?

Chelsea: It’s been rewarding being able to help people.

Billy: Okay. Well, that’s a good thing. But, you know, this– this job that summer is offering, it’s a hell of an opportunity, right? I mean, especially if you want to stay in the fashion world. Just think about it before you say no. That’s it.

Chloe: Chels.

Chelsea: Hi.

Chloe: Hi. I’ve missed you so much. I feel like we’ve been caught up in different orbits lately.

Billy: Perfect timing. I’m gonna bounce back to the office, okay? I’ll let you two catch up.

Chelsea: Bye.

Billy: Talk to you soon. Hi. Bye. Good to see you.

Chloe: Bye. Well, tell me all things like what’s going on with you two?

Chelsea: I will, but first I’m so glad you’re here. I actually really need your opinion on something. So, summer offered me a job at marchetti. Her job.

Chloe: Wow. She’s leaving?

Chelsea: Kyle is. And she’s taking over as ceo.

Chloe: Which leaves creative director open. That’s– that’s huge.

Chelsea: I know. But it’s probably too much for me, right? I mean, what do you think?

Chloe: Oh, uh, yeah, I– I don’t think I’m well equipped to give any advice.

Chelsea: Well, why not? We worked together. You know what the job would entail. Who better?

Chloe: I don’t know, maybe a better friend.

Chelsea: What are you talking about?

Chloe: How could I weigh in on such huge advice when I didn’t do more for you when you needed me most?

Audra: Thank you. I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

What can you do

with sensitive skin?

Chelsea: It sounds like you’re blaming yourself for my depression and what I went through. And I’ve told you, you are not responsible for either one of those things.

Chloe: Yeah, but why did I let you push me away? Because if I had been there more often, maybe I would have seen the warning signs.

Chelsea: Chloe, it’s my job to notice when I’m feeling a certain way and I need to reach out to people. Something I didn’t do last time when things got so dark. I shut you out. You have been nothing but a support system for me, always. You fought for me, for us, for our partnership and I pushed you away. I didn’t recognize it at the time, so it’s my job to be more vigilant and not push away the people that love me and care about me, especially somebody like you who is the most loyal friend around.

Chloe: Well, I just want you to know, you can lean on me, always.

Chelsea: Well, I need to lean on you right now because I need to go through the pros and cons of this job offer, please.

Chloe: Okay. Well, just know that, um, you know, I’m here for all things, always.

[ Both chuckling ]

Nick: Hey, dad.

Victor: Hey, son. Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.

Nick: Why not? I’ve got nothing but time on my hands right now since I have no office to go to.

Victor: Well, I want you to know that I had nothing to do with your forced sabbatical. In fact, your mother and I were against it.

Nick: Thanks. I appreciate all the help lately.

Victor: That’s very nice to hear. Remember that next time you get pissed off at me. I do help my family, you know.

Nick: I’ll try. It seems like faith’s doing, uh, she’s doing well. Uh, she’s happy to be back at the dorm with all her friends. It is exactly the distraction we were hoping. Sharon and I check in with her every day.

Victor: You know that I’m playing chess with her at least once a week.

Nick: I know. Thank you for doing that. She needs all the support we can give her right now.

Victor: Yup.

Nick: Now, if I were you, I’d be focusing more on the chess match that victoria seems to be playing. I was informed that all of my staff was recently reassigned.

Victor: You don’t think I’m keeping an eye on things?

Nick: Is that what this meeting’s about? You want to try and figure out how to deal with victoria and nate?

Victor: No. This meeting, I’m gonna ask you to help adam.

Summer: Beautiful flowers. Someone must really be trying to impress you.

Audra: Oh, it’s to congratulate me on my new job. Uh, today is my first day as acting ceo of newman media.

Summer: Wow. And they got you jewelry too. I– I recognize the gift box. It’s the same jeweler that I go to. You must have already impressed my aunt.

Audra: Oh, I’m sure it’s just a fountain pen or a desk clock or something.

Summer: Well, good luck and I’ll see you around.

Audra: Are you staying here?

Summer: It’s temporary. Like your new position.

Audra: Welcome to the club, neighbor.

Adam: Well, you were right about being able to run into all the movers and shakers of genoa city here.

Audra: I’ve been warned about you.

Adam: And I would bet you have never listened to a warning in your life. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

[ Sally exhaling ]

Sally: Wow. That was fast.

Chloe: I got your text and I’m working on being a better friend.

Sally: It’s absolutely not something you need improvement on. I’m the one that hasn’t been pulling my weight at chancellor-winters.

Chloe: Taking care of yourself is not slacking off. It’s doctor’s orders, and mine. How are you doing?

Sally: I’m not gonna lie. It has not been easy.

Chloe: Yeah, I mean, losing a child is the hardest thing in the world.

Sally: I’m not really sure I’m ready to go back to work.

Chloe: No, of course not. Of course not. And I– I hope you don’t feel like you need to on my account because I have everything covered.

Sally: No. Uh, nick thinks that it might be a good distraction for me.

Chloe: And what do you think?

Sally: I’m having a hard time really thinking about anything right now.

Chloe: Yeah. Well, it looks like you’ve been cooped up here for a bit.

Sally: What gave it away? No, I– look, at least walking is getting easier. I have been doing laps around the block and slow, steady, boring. Yeah, maybe a distraction would be good for me.

Chloe: Okay. Well, um, I got approvals on all of the preliminary sketches and all of the paint colors have been chosen. Who knew there were so many whites to choose from? Uh, they loved all of your choices for the sofas and the chairs and we’re gonna start renovations soon in the common areas. We think that doing it in stages is best so they can continue to use the workspace.

Sally: Wow, you’ve been doing a lot.

Chloe: Too overwhelming?

Sally: No, no, really. And I– I appreciate you taking over everything. I– I’m just having trouble thinking about anything more than what I want for lunch.

Chloe: Yeah. Okay. So, um, let’s just start slow.

Sally: Okay.

Chloe: Okay? And get the creative juices flowing.

Nick: Dad, I am the last person adam wants to hear from. And frankly, I’m in no mood to reach out to him right now.

Victor: Son, you didn’t let me finish.

Nick: I don’t need to hear anymore. Look, I feel terrible about what adam and sally have gone through. It’s awful, but I’ve tried to reach out to him and he shut that down pretty quickly because he refuses to honor sally’s wishes. And that is to give her some space and it’s making her even more upset.

Victor: But you understand that they went through a traumatic situation. I mean, all that adam wants to do is, you know, share some of the grief with her. Can’t you ask her to be more open to that?

Nick: Sally is not the problem.

Victor: I know you think adam is the problem and I don’t disagree with you. However, you must know by now that I will never give up hope. I think that he is capable of changing.

Nick: Well, adam is always your blind spot.

Victor: Yeah. There’s truth to that, son. I hope you’ll never be in a situation like that. It tears me apart, you know. He’s my son as well. And right now, he needs someone to support him. The stillbirth has put him on a very dangerous trajectory and I am very concerned about it. So, what I’m asking you, if you can find it in your heart to give him one more chance?

Nick: Okay, um, let’s say I was willing. What exactly do you want from me?

[ Adam sighing ]

Audra: Care if I join you?

Adam: Hm? Don’t you have a thank you call to make? I mean, that was quite a extravagant floral arrangement gift I saw you with. Is that a fan or someone more intimate? Or maybe you had them sent to yourself?

Audra: And uh, why would I do that?

Adam: Make a statement. “I’m someone to be admired.”

Audra: I am, but I– I don’t need to send myself gifts to prove that.

Adam: No, I guess not. And I guess you’re not gonna tell me who the flowers were from.

Audra: Why ruin the mystery?

Adam: Mm.

Audra: What time is she coming?

Adam: Before noon. So, who warned you about me?

Audra: Take a guess?

Adam: Oh, that’s, um, that’s a long list of options there.

Audra: So everyone knows that you just have your sights set on newman media?

Adam: Well, I haven’t made that big of a secret of it, but I’m curious where your loyalties lie.

Audra: Well, I’m the ceo of newman media, so what do you think?

Adam: Well, you’re the interim ceo, ’til victoria gives my brother his job back, but…

Audra: Yes, the temporary nature of my job has been made very clear to me.

Adam: And I would bet that you hate that.

Audra: No, I’m actually looking forward to proving myself.

Adam: Oh, I bet you are. But word on the street is you’re no stranger to betraying your employer. So, what’s the chance of you doing that again?

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis

[ Knocking on door ]

Summer: Who is it?

Daniel: It’s your brother.

Summer: Hey, I thought you were going to work. What’s up? Did you hear from mom?

Daniel: No, not exactly. Um… I got something to tell you and I don’t think you’re gonna like it.

Summer: What did you do?

Daniel: I texted mom and I told her about your separation from kyle.

Summer: Why did you do that?

Daniel: Because it’s a big deal and she’d want to know.

Summer: Daniel, that wasn’t your information to share.

Daniel: Mom is responsible for your separation. It’s time she took responsibility.

Summer: We have no idea how she’s gonna react to that information.

Daniel: You’re right. Maybe it’ll bring her back. I mean, if she cares about us as much as she says she does, your relationship shouldn’t become another casualty of her bad choices.

Victor: What I’m asking is for you to join forces with adam at mccall.

Nick: Dad, come on. You already asked me this before and I said no. What makes you think I’d change my mind?

Victor: Son, you yourself said you have plenty of time now that you’re forced into this sabbatical. Why not put it to good use?

Nick: But you honestly think I would trade newman enterprises for mccall with adam?

Victor: Let me tell you something. Adam needs you more than victoria does. I’m begging you. I’m worried about my son. I don’t know if anyone can help him right now. I think if you were willing to support him, there’s a chance that he will straighten out.

Sally: What about something like this? A workspace that is both ergonomic and sleek. And it easily converts from seated to a standing desk. And if we position them like this, then they have this great view and they do not have to stare at each other. It’s a win-win.

Chloe: I love it.

Sally: The sketch?

Chloe: Yes, but mostly just seeing you smile again. Hey, no, stop, I… okay, I– I know where your mind just went. You’re feeling guilty for forgetting for a second. You are not betraying your daughter by being happy, okay? Your little girl would want her mama to keep smiling.

Sally: Thank you. Ava would have loved her aunt chloe.

Chloe: Oh, honey, that’s a beautiful name. I’m so sorry. My timing really sucks, I need to go. I have to meet kevin. I…

Sally: Of course, go. Really.

Chloe: Ah, you know, um, I think, you know, uh, we should just get together with lily and devon. Set up a meeting.

Sally: I would like to join.

Chloe: Are you sure?

Sally: Yes. Yeah. I’m– I’m ready to get out into the world. I– I don’t need to keep hiding in here, piling up dirty dishes.

Chloe: Okay. Um, you know, listen, I– I can just set a time and then, you know, if you want to cancel, it’s okay.

Sally: Thank you.

Chloe: I didn’t do anything.

Sally: You showed up. And you encouraged me to start small and you said things that other people are afraid to say.

Chloe: Come here.

[ Chloe sighing ] Okay. Bye, sweetie.

[ Sally sighing ]

Adam: I know that I could apologize every day for the rest of my life and it would never be enough to ease your pain because I know there’s nothing that will ease mine. We’re the only two people in the world who know what it is to lose ava. She will live on in our hearts as the fierce, brilliant, adventurous girl we knew her to be. I can only hope that her memory will help us find a way through this. I don’t want the darkness to win. I want to believe that there can be healing. Well, I don’t know, maybe it’s ava’s spirit that’s making me write this letter. She knows that we’ve suffered her loss together, but just as creating her bound us here on earth, losing her binds us for eternity. But I wanna be in your life, in the here and now to support you through this. I’ll be waiting downstairs until noon if you want to talk. Please don’t let this be goodbye. Adam.

Audra: Thank you. Listen, I’m happy in whatever role your sister deems best for me. And I’m ready to take you down in a corporate battle if that’s what you’re determined you’ll have.

Adam: Good to know.

Audra: Hm. Well, it’s past noon. I think you’ve been stood up by whoever you’re waiting for.

Adam: You know, you have made a big mistake underestimating me. And I hope you get ready for the biggest battle of your life.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Door opens ] Hi. Hi. Were you all as surprised as I was to get a text from molly? She’s not typically prone to spontaneity. I know. Nails and dancing on a weeknight. Very un-molly like. But hopefully now this means she’s out of her funk. Uh, or it could be her latest coping mechanism. Or that. I mean, you can only distract yourself with work for so long. Whatever it is, she’s entitled to have some fun. Whatever her mood, we’re gonna support her, right? Right. Yeah. Yeah, right. Yep. Thank you. Yay! We are all here. Look out — the davis girls are on the loose. I think I should be heading home before your rush. Whoa, wait. Are you sure? It’s going to be a good night, pop. Mnh-mnh. I’m sure. Son… am I gonna see you at home tonight? Uh, maybe. You know, things could get crazy busy here…

[ Sighs ] …So probably just crash in the back. Yeah. What? You and portia are never gonna fix things if you refuse to be in the same room. Hey. Hey, T. Are you okay? Boy, you look like you just lost your best friend. What if I have? Did you give anybody the password? Maxie: Of course not. Okay. What about that assistant that just quit? Be honest — I didn’t give my password to anyone, lucy. Okay, how about this? Maybe you wrote it down somewhere accidentally and left it around, left it out.

[ Sarcastically ] Oh, sure. Where anyone could come and find it. How careless do you think I am? You know, I don’t really think you want me to answer that right at this point. Are you for real? I’m just saying that you have been a teeny, tiny bit distracted lately. Yeah, yeah, I’m sure. Because I’ve been handling the extra workload with zero help from you. Oh. What exactly is this proposition you speak of? As entertaining as you find lucy coe, a man of your standing… “my standing”? …Needs more to occupy him. I’m prepared to offer you a challenge, if you’re up for it. I have been busting my behind to get the deceptor off the ground. Yeah, sure you have. Until martin calls, and then off you go, leaving me holding the bag. Oh, excuse me. Well, sue me for having a personal life. You know what? I think it would do you very good to get one. That’d be great. And then nobody would work here. I give everything to deception. I am always here. I give everything. Everything. I used to think so, but lately, not so much. Wow, that is low. You have gone low. You know what? You started it! I did not start it! That’s enough! It was me.


What’s going on? I can’t stay long. Molly’s out with her mom and sisters. She says she’s gonna end up here, so… so that means you have to go? I just don’t want to be in the way. Since when have you been in molly’s way? Did something happen?

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry, man. That’s rough. Look, I know you and molly, and you’ll figure it out. This time, I’m not so sure. Okay. Alright. Come on. Lay it on us. Lay it on us. Remember how I-I told you that molly and i were trying to have a baby? Yeah. Yeah. That’s not something you easily forget. I’m sorry I hadn’t checked in since I got back from greenland. Don’t worry about it. I’ve been busy, too. And honestly, I haven’t really talked to anyone about it much because we barely had the chance to start trying when we found out that… that molly can’t get pregnant. What do we think, gals? Super cute. Ooh, that looks nice. Real good. Help. Which one? Uhhhh, this. It goes with your dress. Really? Yeah, and I’ll take that one. Thank you. Oh, I see how it is. Uh-huh. So, moll… so, mom. Yeah. What are we celebrating? What do you mean? Uh, you’re…so festive, and the champagne and the nails and the dancing…

[ Inhales deeply ] Do you have any news? If you’re asking about the doctor’s appointment, don’T. You snuck onto my computer after I left? What the hell, brook lynn? Sorry. I didn’t realize it was such a big deal. Such — in what universe is this not a big deal? I was trying to prove myself, okay? Ever since I came back to work here, everything’s been so busy, and the deceptor’s blowing up, and I just… I wanted to prove myself as an asset to this company. So you were, what, trying to learn about the deceptor? I-I wanted to familiarize myself with the product so that I could create a-a social media campaign, you know, to solidify the deceptor as the must-have item of the summer. Okay, then why all the secrecy? It wasn’t a secret, per se. I mean, maxie was swamped when she was called away from her desk, and I was just trying to be proactive, so I used her computer to download the files. Files on a shared drive that you had absolutely no access to! I-I didn’t put two and two together that the information was under lock and key. Do you know the two words “trade secret”? Trade secrets. That’s what it is. Do you know what would happen if our competitors got a hold of this information? We could kiss our cash cow bye-bye. Ms. Quartermaine, with all due respect, whatever your opinion may be, I am in love with one ms. Lucy coe. So, as regards to your other forward offer, I’m just gonna have to say thanks, but no thanks.

[ Laughs ] Somebody thinks very highly of himself. I’m offering you a business challenge, not a romantic one. Oh. Elq is a dumpster fire, and there’s nobody to put it out. With valentin gallivanting off god knows where, and my son…mia — why would you care? I mean, I was given to understand that you’d completely divested yourself of any interest in the company, so… I have no interest in taking a leadership position. But it is my family’s company, and the situation is precarious at best. Disastrous at worst. So, with the ceo and second-in-command out of commission, it occurs to me that the next obvious choice to run elq… is you. Rough day? Yeah. I could use a new top. Oh, um, I’ll relocate. No, no, no, no. Y-you’re good. Uh, why am I not surprised to find you eating in here?

[ Chuckles ] Well, nothing worse than break room small talk. Well, I think that book would scare everyone away. Worms and food — it’s quite the mix. You’re kidding. This book’s on a lot of hot summer reading lists. Okay, I’ll take your word for it. Yeah? Um, so…how’s it going, head nurse? It’s going. Epiphany made it seem so easy.

[ Chuckles ] So will you. You think? I know. So, about last night, um… yeah. Uh… look, uh, thank you for, um, staying and — and helping with violet. I love that little girl. You know I’d do anything for her. Including going along with her pretend date. Look, I’m so sorry about that.

[ Laughs ] Don’t be. However, your daughter knows an awful lot about romance. Yeah, that’s — that’s not unsettling at all. She was very sweet with me. It’s been a minute since someone’s given me flowers. Uh…as promised, though, I-I did — I-I talked to violet, and — and she understands she can’t be playing matchmaker like that, so, uh, you can rest easy. There’ll be no more… romantic evenings, uh, for us in the future.


I don’t want to talk about all that right now. I want to talk about drew. I heard he reported to prison. Yeah, speaking of fun… well, sorry, that was a terrible segue, but I’ve been thinking about scout. How is she doing? Not good. I mean, she’s taking it really bad. Well, how could she not? Maybe I could take her to the movies this weekend. Some aunt molly time. Um, you know, that’s really sweet of you, moll, but you have so much going on. Maybe another time. Yeah, y-you’ve got a lot on your plate. More than most. And that’s when I usually neglect my personal life. And I’m not doing that anymore. I want to focus on the things that matter again. Marshall: Tj, I am so sorry. Yeah, me, too, man. I can’t imagine how hard it is for both of you. It’s clearly worse for molly. She feels like her body has betrayed her. And I get that. Or I’m — I’m — I’m really, really trying. But it’s, like, now? When we need to lean on each other the most? She keeps shutting you out. It scares the hell out of me, uncle. Molly and i cannot go on like this. The last thing we need, do you understand, is any of our numerous rivals — if they were to duplicate our design and poach our sales, do you get how serious this is? This is a horrible offense! And I-I realize that now. Okay, I think we just need to all calm down for a minute. All calm down? I am not gonna calm down! Yes. Calm down, lucy. What? Ugh.

[ Exhales deeply ] Brook lynn was just trying to do her job, okay? She started right before we launched the deceptor, and what a whirlwind, right? I mean, it was so successful that I’m sure none of us took the time to talk to her about how proprietary it was. I certainly didn’T. Okay, fine. Neither did I. But this is still a great, big problem. Do you understand? Look, I’m really, really sorry. If I knew what we were dealing with, I obviously would have asked for permission. I cannot stress enough the value of this product. That is why, remember, our lawyers said, “do not share this. Just keep this between the executives.” Only us. We have access. And the information needs to stay in the office. Copy that. Will not happen again.

[ Sighs ] Yay! Okay, hand it over. Hand what over? The files. Hand them over. Where are they?Um, they’re on a flash drive, and I took them home.

[ Laughs ] You took ’em home. She took ’em home. Go get them now! Right now. Oh, my gosh. She took them home. I’m gonna go get gummies because I need my gummies. I want gummies. Well, I am flattered, but I think you’re forgetting I’m only an attorney. Don’t limit yourself. Valentin says in his absence, you have his power of attorney. That makes you his mouthpiece. I suppose that’s true. And therefore, you are the perfect person to fill in for him, to ensure the company’s stability until he returns, or, god willing, my son snaps out of his delusion. Think of it as protecting your client’s interests. When you put it like that… did I make you an offer you can’t refuse? Alright. I accept. Oh, wonderful. Welcome to the board. Thank you. And now for the first order of business. Already? I have something I want you to do for me. I don’t know, how can I trust a guy who doesn’t even put child locks on his phone?

[ Laughs ] Yeah, well, violet said she got the message, but, um… you know my daughter. Strong-willed? To put it mildly. I-I can’t promise that she won’t try to do the same thing again. May not be the worst thing. Yeah. Well, yeah, we’ve been totally negligent about getting us all together. Jake and aiden have kind of been a little lost since cameron moved out. It would be good for them to spend some time with their cousin. Right. Yeah. No, violet would — she would love that. So let’s plan a family night, you know, for the kids. Mm-hmm. For the kids, yeah, and maybe if violet’s distracted enough, she’ll let up on her campaign to get us back together. ‘Cause that’s what we want. Right?


I don’t know about you,but… what I want is a little more complicated. Okay, I think we should probably talk about what happened last night. Hi! If it isn’t my favorite head nurse and infectious disease specialist. Hi. Hey. Chief, hey. Um, well, I, uh… have a patient to see. That’s what they all say.

[ Chuckles ] Right? Uh, then I have to meet violet at the metro court for a tea party. Well, have fun.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks. And, uh, we’ll plan that family get-together real soon. Okay. Sounds good. Bye.

[ Door closes ] I am so sorry. For what? I obviously interrupted something. Oh, no. I-it was no big deal. I know you, elizabeth, for way longer than either of us care to admit. Do you want to talk about it? Finn and I had a date. Thank you. How long are we going to ignore that there is something blatantly wrong with molly? I haven’t decided yet. Bottling things up is never healthy. What are you two whispering about? You’re giving me a complex. Why did you want to go out tonight? Because it’s ladies night at the savoy, and I thought it’d be fun. Yeah, except that is never your idea of fun. You’re the one who’s always telling me to loosen up. Yeah, but you don’t listen. Well, I’m listening now. Why now? Kristina… does it matter? No, it doesn’T. I disagree. Look, under normal circumstances, I would be all for this. Champagne, nails, dancing — yes, please. But you are obviously avoiding something, and I think we all know what that something is. Like you’ve never avoided the realities of your life? More times than I can count, but it’s never worked out the way that I wanted it to. In fact, it always makes things worse. So, molls, we are your family. We care about you. Let us in. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it’s not that molly is shutting you out. She might just need time to process. And I get that. That’s a big blow — being told your future isn’t going to look the way you thought it would. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful. And incredible. And fulfilling. See, I told molly that. That we can still start a family, that we have options. She just might not be ready to hear that right now. But she will be. I think the hardest part is that she is not acting like herself. In what way? She passed off one of her big cases to a colleague, and then this morning, she decided she didn’t want to go to work, so she called out. Oh, t, people do that. People do. Not molly.You’re both grieving, son. You’re both grieving. And grief could do a number on us all. Good thing, though, it’s fleeting. You know that old saying, uh, “time heals all wounds”? Well, it’s true. I would never tell molly how to deal with her grief or when I think she should be done with it, but I’m worried that it’s more than that, and ultimately, it’s gonna tear us apart. I mean, really, who does that? Who really does that? A professional person taking home confidential files to their house. Wait a minute. Who really hired brook lynn back? Who did that? You did. No, I didn’T. I did not. You know what? I know I didn’T. Look, lucy, the important thing is we know who downloaded the files. It was brook lynn, and she is really sorry. And the files are being retrieved as we speak, so the crisis has been averted.

[ Exhales deeply ] Now, if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go home and relieve my mom and mac. Mom, you’re supposed to be with james. Hi. What’s — what’s wrong? I am stepping in for valentin. Established. Okay, well, normally, he doesn’t answer to you. Which begs the question, why would I?

[ Sighs ] What part of “my family’s company” is tripping you up? No, I understand the concept. Do you also understand that the quartermaine annual G.H. Fundraiser is next week? The picnic? That’s the one. And if you’re gonna be running the company, it would behoove us to bolster our professional relationship. And all of that by way of saying I would love it if you would attend as my honored guest. That’s the favor? Yes. Well, I am flattered. Does that mean you’ll come? Well, I have to check my calendar, of course. Well, clear your schedule, ’cause it’s the social event of the year, and it’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other better, and you can bring your fl– lucy. If you haven’t flamed out by then. Well, if that’s the case, then I would be delighted to attend your little soiree. Pleasure doing business with you. I have been looking all over for you. Why? We have a problem.


Everything’s fine. Mac is watching james. You couldn’t have texted me that before showing up here, so I didn’t have a heart attack? Oh, honey, I’m so sorry. I guess I wasn’t thinking. I just came by to talk to lucy about something. Oh, it must be pretty important. What’s going on? Well… well, um [Stammers] I-I need a gift. Um, um, I-I’m really looking to get a gift for martin. And this was a good reason to abandon your grandson? You’re acting like I left james at the nearest fire station. He’s with his grandfather, and it’s a very special gift. So special. It is so special. In fact, it’s — it’s a gift of a personal, uh, nature. Um…erotic in nature. Oh, wow. Okay. Yes. And you know what? If you want to stay and help us pick it out… nope. …I have a few samples.Nope, nope, nope. I’m good. I’m good. You two, uh… …have fun. Bye, maxie. Ta-ta. Erotic?! Oh, lucy. Shh, shh! Oh. Okay. That’s the best I could come up with on the fly. Look, I really don’t want my business partners to know I have concerns about martin. He really, truly is acting squirrelly every time I mention the deceptor. You don’t want to alarm them unnecessarily. Exactly. You’re right. And who knows? You know, maybe there’s a perfectly logical… innocent reason for his behavior. Yeah, there could be, but I don’t think that’s the case.

[ Sighs ] Please tell me this isn’t about your father. Deception. You want to discuss that here? Why not? Exhibits a and B. Brook lynn! Hi, cutie.

[ Chuckles ] Is uncle chase with you? Oh, I wish. I’m stuck with this one. Oh, charming. Do you remember me? Of course. Auntie tracy. She came up with that one all on her own. Daddy said I had to ask before giving you a hug. Of course. And I appreciate you asking for permission. Violet was hoping to get a-a proper shirley temple. With an umbrella. With an umbrella, yes. Huh. Well, get on over there, my friend. I’ve seen you rule that bar. Daddy won’t let me pay on his phone after what happened with aunt elizabeth. Brook lynn, why don’t you do the shirley temple honors? I’d be delighted. Thank you. Come on, I bet we could get some extra cherries. What do you think? Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Hi. How’s ned? Ah, well, he is fully committed to his rock star persona and refusing to acknowledge his family. I’m sorry, tracy. Me, too. So what was that face? Face? What face? The face you made when violet brought up elizabeth. Call me crazy, but I think there’s a story there. So finn and i went along with it because, you know, we didn’t want to hurt violet’s feelings. And he explained to her afterwards that we were never gonna happen. Because you’re over each other? We’re great as friends, you know? And we had a really nice night. We just — we talked and we took care of violet together. Oh, almost sounds like nothing’s changed. Except everything’s changed.

[ Scoffs ] Not really. You and finn were friends first, then you developed feelings for each other. Who’s to say the same thing won’t happen again? Okay, well, there was this one moment — I knew it. But it didn’t mean anything. Probably not to him. Did he say that? Not outright, but it was implied. Oh, and nothing’s ever gotten lost in translation before. I’m just saying, instead of jumping to conclusions, why not ask finn for the truth? I can’T. I understand that we each need our space sometimes — that’s natural. But…this feels…what? Different? She’s pulling away from me — emotionally, physically. And if we don’t face this challenge together, how does our partnership survive? You’re in a tough spot. I’m not gonna pretend it’s otherwise. Infertility can be devastating, and a lot of relationships have separated because of it. But you and molly, you’re not just any relationship. I see you. I see how good you are together, how — how loving and patient and kind… and you need to lean on that patience. Molly will come around, and when she does, you will be there waiting for her. I hope you’re right. Molls, tell us what happened. Only if you want to. I’m guessing this had something to do with the doctor’s appointment that you mentioned earlier? Can you not give me one night off from talking about my fertility issues? Hey!All it’s been is endometriosis and eggs and babies, and I’m sick of it. Okay, well, we don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to. Apparently we do. Look, the last thing in the world I want to do is upset you. So if you really don’t want to talk about it, we’ll drop it. But we — we love you, molly. And in my experience, keeping things in doesn’t help, but we can. My eggs aren’t viable, okay? I can never have a biological child. Oh, molly. Alexis: I’m sorry, honey. Yeah, tj can, but I can’T. Are you satisfied? No, I’m not satisfied. Molly, I’m so sorry. Okay, I just… I need a minute. Molly. Oh. Really?


Just go ahead. Just tell me whatdid — what did you find? A quarterly bank statement. It was shredded, and I pieced it together.

[ Inhales deeply ] And? Every month of the last quarter, martin has been receiving deposits of $50,000. Fi– $50,000? Yes. 50 grand?! Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. Maybe… could he be receiving that from valentin? Well, it’s not likely, since the deposits come from a bank in pine valley. Pine valley? No, no. Martin doesn’t have a license to practice law in pennsylvania. Well, you know, maybe he does and just never mentioned it. No, because martin only likes to take local cases. And really, valentin is his bread and butter. No, no. Gotta be something else.

[ Exhales deeply ] Something illegal? Based on my experience, under-the-table transactions rarely show up on bank statements. Right, and based on my experience, which is rather extensive

[Chuckles] As you know, big deposits like that every month scream affairs. But no, marty is devoted to me. And wouldn’t that be kind of weird? I mean, h-he’s the one getting payments. No, no, no, no, no. This has got to be something else. So what could it be? Well, how is it? Delicious. Yum. Well, don’t move a muscle, okay?I’ll be right back. Oh, if it isn’t brook lynn quartermaine. Hi, martin. Saw you earlier with my grandmother. You did. Suddenly, she’s expressed an interest in having me help out with elq. Temporarily, anyway. Even invited me to your family’s picnic. Me and lucy. Didn’t realize you and grandmother were so close. We’re not. Definitely more like acquaintances. I got to hand it to her, though. That woman is nothing if not sharp. She’s got a shrewd business sense. Just be careful, okay? Meaning? I love my grandmother, but, um… she can be opportunistic. Just stay sharp around her. Duly noted. Little gossip isn’t usually your thing. Yeah, well, I read something about elizabeth and nikolas trapping a pregnant girl in a tower? Good times. I was surprised to see that elizabeth was involved. It surprised me, too. There it is. Well, in her defense, she was going through a bit of a rough patch. A rough patch your relationship couldn’t withstand. Well, it wasn’t just on her, trust me. Some people just aren’t compatible? We’re still friends.

[ Chuckles ] Although, it’s a concept that violet is having a hard time wrapping her head around. Maybe she misses having a mother figure around. Yeah. Or your oh-so-perceptive daughter can tell you still have feelings for her aunt. What do you mean you can’t? Of course you can. It’s easy. “Finn, how did you feel about our date?” Fake date. Whatever. I have no right to ask him for the truth. Not after I destroyed the trust between us. Finn understands why you had to lie to him about that pregnancy. Oh, let’s not forget about all the months I shut him out while I was trying to figure out what was going on with my parents. And he was understanding about that, too. Understanding and trusting are two different things. I don’t think he will ever open himself up to me like that again. But you don’t know that. So isn’t it time you got out of your own way and found out? Hang in there. Alright. Hey, son. I will see you at home. Come on. Whoa.

[ Laughter ] I’m gonna look for you. Well, t, uh… I wish I had an easy answer for you, but I will say we are here to support you. I know. And believe me, that means everything. Family — it is a bond that cannot be broken. I was just really looking forward to adding to that family. I know, but like you said, you and molly still have options. Except I’m not sure molly wants kids anymore. Okay, so I’m the worst sister ever. No.

[ Sighs ] She just needs some space.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry for storming off like that. No, I-I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made you talk about what’s happening. This whole situation is just… awful. It’s — it’s gut-wrenching. It’s impossible to navigate. Yeah. All of the above. Hey, um, you know, we can change the subject if you want. Yes, please. There’s no use in tiptoeing around it now.

[ Chuckles ] You’re welcome? Alright, well, I guess maybe the good thing is, maybe you can actually start making a plan, and, like, look into surrogacy or adoption. I can’t even begin to think about that right now, because if I do, it feels like I’m gonna break. And if you break, we’ll put you back together, okay? Promise? I promise.


Moll, we don’t have to go out if you don’t want to. Or we could go to my house, and we could watch a movie and have ice cream. No, no, no, no, no, no. Tj and I will revisit having a family, but tonight, I need to get out and remind myself of everything that I love. I’m sorry, does that include us? All of us? It definitely includes you, kristina. Well, my nails are dry, so… yes. And what’s that? I’m sorry. I-I think I hear the savoy is calling us, and it is time for the davis girls to cause some trouble. Yeah. Alright. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go, let’s go. You’re not really gonna cause trouble. Oh, only a little trouble, mom. Yeah, you’ve already caused a lot of trouble. So molly has given up on starting a family altogether? Molly said that she wants to take a break from the planning. Right, well, I guess that makes sense after everything you’ve been through. And I don’t disagree. But it’s this lack of communication. It’s so foreign. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I don’t know where her head is at. Okay, but your feelings haven’t changed, right? You still want to try to have a baby, whatever that looks like? Yeah. But what if molly doesn’t? What if she becomes so overwhelmed that she decides having kids isn’t worth it anymore? Two very big what-ifs. That’s all I can think about. Okay, well, then let’s game this out, okay? Alright, worst case scenario — molly doesn’t want to have kids, but you do, and you can’t get on the same page. What does that feel like for you? What does that mean for you and molly as a couple? I would be lying, you know, if I said I hadn’t thought about elizabeth. My take? Sure, why not? Whatever residual feelings you have for elizabeth, you should squash them now. Things got messy once before. You know what they say about history repeating itself. And do you really want to risk violet losing her aunt again? She’s already lost her mother. Hey. Where — wait. Where is the — where’s the shirley temple? I drank it.

[ Chuckles ] That was so fast. It’s like a record. Thank you for taking her, brook lynn. Anytime. Can I borrow you? If you must. Excuse me. I’ll see you later. See you, violet. Are you ready for dinner? And dessert. Dinner first. Fine. Fine. Ooh, can we see aunt elizabeth soon? I’ll tell you what. I’ll — I’ll — I’ll check the calendar, okay? If the issue between you and finn was lack of honesty, the solution is not to make the same mistake again. How can you regain the trust if you’re still keeping things from each other? We’re finally in a good place. As friends. I don’t want to jeopardize that. Even though you want to be more?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Patient. Saved by the bell. For now. I know it seems complicated to you, but from an outsider’s perspective, it could not be more simple. Tell finn how you feel. Are you and martin happy?

[ Exhales deeply ] Yeah, blissfully. Well, then, if he’s not doing anything illegal and he’s not having an affair, is it really worth it for you to turn over this rock? It could cost you your relationship. I don’t know. I don’t know. You know, I don’t — I don’t — I don’t know if I can just ignore it because my intuition is never wrong. And…

[ Sighs ] Whatever martin is involved with, I feel like I got to know. You’re sure? No, but yes. I — listen, do it. Just turn over whatever little pebble, or spin it, or throw the rock in the water. Do something with that rock now. Okay, in that case, then next step is for me to go to pine valley and suss out who is sending those payments.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Whispers ] It’s him. Why are you whispering? I don’t know. Answer it. No. Okay.

[ Normal voice ] Hey, you. I just had a nice conversation with tracy quartermaine. Huh. That’s weird. “Nice” and “tracy” in the same sentence? Mnh-mnh. She’s invited us to the family picnic. Oh. When is it? Next week. Next week. Well, that is — that’s nice of tracy. I’m — I’m just not sure that I-I can make it back. Where are you going? Something came up. A-a little business trip out of state. What for? What else? Deception. So I-I need that flash drive, stat. Is that really necessary? Uh, let’s see. Lucy knows I have it. She asked for it. So, yeah, I’d say it’s really necessary. And if I don’t bring it, then they’re gonna get suspicious, and where does that leave you?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Two, one. How about you? In here, you’re giving the police a hard time refusing to answer any of their questions. I believe that’s my right. You think Stonewalling is gonna help you? You’re hired gun told a room full of people that you ordered him to kill Stephan. Sorry, Lee. Another epic fail. I can’t believe you did this.

Cooked up some scheme to murder the man that I love, so that I would be available again. You know, you might as well confess you pathetic freak because you and your homicidal henchmen are going down. So it’s true. I heard that you hear under observation. I guess I had to see it for myself. So what happened?

Asked the morons who brought me in. No, I know. I’m asking you because the last time we saw each other, you told me that you were going after Megan. You were gonna take her out of commission. And I thought it went according to plan because then I get a text from you saying mission accomplished. And then the next thing I find out, Megan is hosting a party at the bistro.

And you crashed that party in a big wave and, and you didn’t grab Megan. You tried to kill Stephan Damira because Lee Hin told you to. I mean, the whole thing makes zero sense. Makes perfect sense to me. Okay. Will, if that’s true, you’re in absolutely the right place because you need your head examined by an expert.

Hold on just a minute. I’m coming. Hold on.

Elena, listen, you listen to me. I assume you’re here to see Rachel. Well, she left for camp a week ago. And you never even said goodbye. I know, I know. I, I, I was held captive by my deranged sister, Megan. Yes. Isn’t she in the hospital? Kristen, I told you to wait until I popped. Everything she’s saying is true.

I was held prisoner too. I see. And why would Megan do such a thing? That’s an excellent question, and we need your help to answer it.

Matt, what are doing here? I came to see you. If there was any word on your, please don’t let her become your mother-in-law. No. Demetri’s in with Megan now. She still hasn’t regained consciousness since her surgery, but thank you for making this crisis all about whether or not I’ve accepted his proposal.

Have you accepted his proposal? The subject hasn’t come up. God, would you look around please? Cuz we’re in a bloody hospital here. It’s been two days since Megan was shot. Dimitri doesn’t even know if she’s going to live or die, so just have some respect. The man’s completely falling apart and my heart is breaking for him.

Gny, that is so sad. Yes. Thank you. Finally. No honey, you are sad. I cannot believe you’re falling for this poor little rich boy act.

Oh, thank God you’re awake.

Where am I? You’re in the hospital. You had emergency surgery two days ago. What? Why? What happened? Mother, you were shot, Sharon. Yes. At the engagement party, you don’t remember, do you? Harris Michael showed up. He was armed. He said that Le, in order to kill Stephan, right before he pulled the trigger, Gabby rushed him.

There was a struggle for the gun and, and I got hit. Yeah. Oh, what is this? Why am I handcuffed? If I’m the victim here? Why am I handcuffed?

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

You are insane. If you think I’d hire someone to murder Stephan, right, because you haven’t tried to off him before. How do you know Harris Michaels? I don’t. Well, he said he was acting on your orders. That makes no sense. It makes perfect sense, especially if you brainwashed him the way you did me. And he’s on a cycle hold because the cops think that someone namely you messed with his head.

So you say you don’t know Michael’s, but you do know Dr. Rolf very well. Oh, and messing with people’s heads is his specialty. So you could have gotten that nutcase to help you for the last time. I’m innocent if that’s true. Give us one good reason why Harris Michaels were barged into our party point a gun at Stephan and say that you get the order to kill him.

I don’t know why this is so hard for you to understand. I take my orders from Lee Shin, not you. He wanted Stephan Demara out of the way so he could have a clear path to Gabby Hernandez. Okay? Look, two days ago we had a conversation at the pub, right? You told me you had put a tracking device on Megan’s car, then you got an alert and you went off after her.

Right. But now, now you’re asking me to believe that Lee Shin crossed your path and, and redirected you to another target, because I, I’m not believing that. If it makes you feel any better, Megan Hathaway got hers anyway. Oh God. Okay. God, I know, I know. She took a stray bullet at the bistro, but the point is you still haven’t answered my case.

Yeah, I’m done. I’m done talking. So either you can get lost or go get somebody to cut me loose so I can finish my real mission.

Why am I shackled to the bed? Is this some kind of a sick joke? No. I hate to one tell you this. You’ve been arrested. Arrested. What for

you really? Dunno. Well, if I did, I wouldn’t be asking you. Dimitri, would you please tell me? Tell me what I have been accused of, of kidnapping After you were shot on, Kristen and Uncle EJ told the cops that you were holding them hostage in the basement of the mansion. Well, you must really be joking now. I wish I were.

That is not true, Dimitri.

That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard in my whole life. I’m unclear why you think I would help you with anything. We know that you would be reluctant, not just because of Kristen, but obviously I’m not your favorite person, but I’d need to, but, but we have. We have come to you with all due respect and humility because you are the only person who can provide the kind of help that we need.

Oh, what does that mean? Megan was arrested for kidnapping, Kristen and me. And unless we can tell the police exactly what happened and why they’re gonna let her go, well then why don’t you go to the police and tell them because we don’t remember. Mm. If you are trying to rope me into some demure family hygiene, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We’re not, we’re not. Megan injected us with a drug to raise our memories, and that’s where your expertise comes in. We need you to bring them back and, and frankly, after everything she’s done to you, I, I think you’d leave at the chance to put her away. Even if that means helping me,

what’s this? You are working for Father Christmas. Now. Why do you have a pillow case? It’s a change of clothes, which obviously you don’t need since you’ve already changed. Thank you. That was very thoughtful here in case you need to change again. I mean, you do seem to be living here now, Marty. I am not living here.

I am going to go home and I’m going to sleep. And so even though that was very thoughtful of you, I’m not gonna be needing a change of clothes. Not now. Fine. I’ll take it back.

Could you stop looking at me? So Disapprovingly, I am merely supporting Dimitri whose, whose mother, as I’m sure you know, may not pull through. He’s having a very rough time, obviously. Well, it’s not him. I feel sorry for right now. What’s that supposed to mean? It means to hell with his rough time. I’m worried about you, Gwenie.

Oh my God. Here we go again. Yes. Here we go again. And it will be again and again and again until you see the light. Oh, mm yes. Well, according to you, the light actually is very much the opposite, meaning very cynical and mistrusting. So therefore seeing the dark side of the moon, because in this case there is a dark side to the damn moon.

And my bff, former fellow cynic, pessimist, and misanthrope has suddenly gone all Pollyanna and Schal tearing over a dangerous predator. I can’t listen to this anymore. Corny. Corny. I’m only saying this because I love you. You know I do. And the count of Monty Lango does not. You need to wake up. You have fallen victim to a man who’s upsettingly handsome face and impossibly toned physique has caused you to throw logic out the window so he can suck you in.

Now, normally I am all for sucking, but not in this case, not under these circumstances, not when that conman is trying to lure you further into his web with his crocodile tears of his bullet ridden Mummy, you know what? You couldn’t be more wrong about Dimitri, that man. Is in so much pain. Oh, he hasn’t eaten.

Oh, he hasn’t slept. His pain is very real. Oh really? And that means his feelings for you are real. I know. They are. And whether you like it or not, that man is absolutely beside himself with worry over Megan. Of course he is. He needs that crazy bitch to survive so she can help him with whatever he has planned for you.

So you’re saying that there is absolutely nothing to Aunt Kristen and uncle e J’s claims. Of course not. Whatever they told the police, it’s a complete fabrication. Is it? Because the two of them disappeared rather suddenly. A few weeks ago, they didn’t disappear. Kristen went to New York to find a custody lawyer and Egypt probably just wanted to escape that insufferable girlfriend of his.

And yet they’re claiming that you had them tied up in the wine cellar. Now why, why would they lie about that mother? Because that’s what they do. Why? Who they you mean? Because, because they’re des, because they’re not true Des, like you and I, they’re pnu interlopers and they will do anything, say anything that they can to blacken my name, to drag me down.

What are you thinking? Say it, their story. It just, it makes me think of a couple of things. What things? Well, for one, the night of the party, I saw you heading into the tunnels to get a bottle of champagne, as I recall. Surely that’s not a crime now. No. No, of course not. But then there’s the other time that I came in and found you standing in front of the secret panel and you were holding a tray and it looked to have enough food to feed two people.

And yet there you were all by yourself. Dimitri, do you have any idea how much this hurts me that my own son. Can think that I would do anything so malevolent that I would be so cruel to my own siblings. To what? End

again? Silence. That’s just it. I don’t know. To what end? Oh, I have no theory as to why you would do this.

Because there is none. It defies all logic. So what do EJ and Kristen say that my motives were for kidnapping them and tying them up? They don’t know. Or rather they don’t know anymore because they’re claiming that you injected them with something to make them forget. Demetri, I’m getting the distinct impression that you believe them.

Look at me.

If you turn against me, Demetri, it will break my heart. Is that what you want to do? Of course not. And you.

Where your loyalties lie.

Say it right now. Tell me that you believe me. That you trust me. Tell me. That you will never betray me.

So Megan wiped out your memories for the most part. We do know that she had us locked up in the tunnels and that she drugged us. She may be our sister, but I can say without hesitation that she needs to be behind bars. Remember how badly John suffered when he thought that you had died? Well, Megan can inflict that pain all over again on your friends, on your family, on everyone in Salem, for all we know.

But the problem is we don’t know. We don’t remember. We have no idea what Megan’s plans are or more important who is in a crosshairs. And for the question, Lee, Why would Harris say you ordered him to kill Stephan? If that’s not true,

I just wanna make certain none of this will be traced back to us. Stop worried. Lee, commander Michaels is firmly back on my team, so he’ll take Stephan out at the party tonight and then you’ll be free to move on with Gabby and we’ll both get what we want. You two are so quick to blame me. You’re completely overlooking the person who’s actually guilty.

And who was that? Megan Hathaway. Oh, come on it. It couldn’t be more obvious. She used Ralph to brainwash Michael’s once, and now she’s done it again.

Megan, Megan would make sense if she somehow, somehow flipped the tables on you. I mean, I don’t know why she would wanna kill her brother. I don’t have any idea about that. But somehow I think she is up to her eyeballs on all of this. You’re wrong. Just go away.

No, I’m gonna do better than that. I’m gonna help you. Okay? I, I know you want my help. And, um, I’m gonna help you get back to your right mind. There’s nothing wrong with my mind, and yet here you are shackled to this bed after attempting an assassination. Paris. Okay? This isn’t you. This isn’t, you says stop.

Okay. No, listen to me. I know. I know. That the last time you were de programmed, it wasn’t a pleasant thing. Okay, so we don’t have to call in isa. Marlena can do this. She can do it here. She helps. No. Oh, I Let me call. No, look, you came to Salem to stop Megan Hathaway from ever hurting anyone ever again. But what she’s done is hurt you.

She has stripped you of your humanity so that she could use you to do her dirty work. You can’t let her do that. You can’t let her do that Again, you have to, you have to find. Your real self, your true self. Harris is your good man. Your decent man.

You are a hero. You saved my life. Okay? I wanna help you. I wanna help you, but I can only help you. If you give me your consent, will you do that?

Why would I consent to letting a shrink mess with my head? I answered, Alicia, I don’t need to be programmed to do what he wants. Of course you do. Anyone who can suddenly be okay with committing murder, that means that you were turned by someone who only thinks of you as a tool. And to me, that screams Megan Hathaway.

Are you finished?

You can’t let her do this to you again. I know that you want my help. I just really hope to God that you accept it because if you don’t, you will forever be a pawn for making sick.

Why would Megan want stuff? And Dad, he’s her brother. He’s also co c e o of Demara. So what, so you have what she wants, what All demaris want more power, money control. A bigger piece of the proverbial pie. And if Stephan were to meet his untimely demise, no, no, no, no. She may want the company, but she’s not gonna take out a family member to get it.

But you, Lee would absolutely take me out for another chance with Gabby. Hmm. So that’s it. There’s only one possible explanation that I did this because I can’t let go of my ex even after I didn’t fight you on the divorce. And I’ve told you repeatedly, I just want you to be happy. I decided to do a total 180 and risk my freedom, my future, everything to murder.

Stephan, a man you never stopped loving even after he was dead. So that way I could be with you again, knowing full well your heart would always belong to him. Yep, you got me. That’s it. That’s how I wanna spend the rest of my life. Good luck, man. I really hope there’s room in that bed of yours for the three of you, you, Gabby, and her ego.

Of course, I’m on your side. I would, I would never betray you. I’d never turn my back on you. I’m so sorry that I ever made you feel otherwise.

You are the most important person in my life to be true. You are my life.

And that’s why I know I can be a forbearing at times.

Okay. I suppose I can be downright track.

I’m with you, Dimitri. It’s only because I want you to have a very full, happy life. I want that so much for you,

and to that end, I have done everything I can to protect you from those who would sabotage you. Undermine you the way they tried to do me, you mean, uh, the other Damaris? The Yes. Yes. That’s what I mean.

But give me some good news. Tell me about Gwen and how that’s going. Well, I proposed and I offered her a diamond ring. Yes, I know. And has she accepted?

No, not yet. But you should know that all this time that I’ve been by your side, she’s been right here by mine. And from the moment that they rushed you into surgery, she has been here. And I don’t think that she’s left. Now I think she’s still here. She hasn’t left once. Oh, that’s wonderful. Dimitri. Bless her heart.

You know, I know that I was be cavalier and somewhat callous at the beginning of all of this, wanting you to get married. Just because the inheritance was contingent upon it, but

there is nothing that would lift my spirits more than knowing that when you do Mary Ms. R Jack, That you will not only have secured the Von of Fortune, but you would’ve found someone to truly love someone worthy of you.

Oh, so now it’s not just Dimitri plotting against me, it’s his mother too. You said he hasn’t left her side since she got here. Clearly, they’re thickest thieves. Oh, yes. He’s a very devoted son, so clearly they’re conspiring against me. You are really reaching Matty. Mm, I don’t think so. Love bug. When I said Kristen and EJ free, they told me they think Megan and her Spawn are just using you.

But what purpose? Well, they, they couldn’t remember, but they are sure those two are plotting something.

Will you help us figure out what Megan was plotting? Look, I will beg you if I have to.

Why don’t we try Come Scott. No, wait, wait. Come in.

I just wanna make sure that we’re not interrupted. Okay. Who wants to go first?

You know, at first I thought that Lee was trying to throw suspicion off of himself and onto Megan. Yeah. But what he said about her does seem at least possible. And he’s right. I mean, Megan has brainwashed Michaels before. God. I just, I keep going back to that moment where God, he was trying to shoot you.

He’s a Navy seal. If he would’ve pulled the trigger, he wouldn’t have missed. Yeah. So you bum rushed him to get his gun, Gabby. I can’t believe what you did to save me. I had to. You kidding me? I wasn’t gonna let that happen again. N not again. Not like that. Stephen, I love you so much. I love you. That monster that did this is gonna have to pay.

You think it was Megan, you were wondering why she was so insistent on throwing us that party. And that party is exactly where all this went down. Yeah. And EJ and Chris said that they were being held captive by her for weeks. They still don’t know why. Well, maybe this is why. Maybe they were onto her and she needed them out of the way.

Oh, and then maybe that witch injected them with something to make them forget. I will kill her. I will, I will literally go to the hospital right now and, and just smother her with a pillow. Take it easy, easy. Take it easy. Her sister tried to whack you. It’s ruthless. It’s, it’s totally her mo. We’re still not sure.

All right. And it’s too dangerous for you to confront her by yourself, so we need the authorities to handle this. I’ll talk to Trask and I’ll meet you at home. Or the two of us could go smother Megan together. Okay, fine. We’ll do it your way.

See how I just, I just want this to be overs. I just want you to be safe.

It is exhausting trying to convince you that all I want is for you to be safe. How about happy? Do you want that for me? Because Demetri makes me feel that way. Orgasms don’t count. You bloody stop it with the crude jokes and a loud, bloody name calling, there’s absolutely no proof that Demetri is up to no good.

You want proof? I’ll get you proof. I will go back to that house of horrors and dig something up. Yeah, that’s what you said the night of the party. Well, it is not my fault. I got sidetracked by two memory impaired de mirrors. And by the way, just because I didn’t find anything the first time doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be found.

No fine, then go at it. You’re just gonna be wasting your time. Just promise me you will not give D V L or his magic penis an answer about the proposal until I report back.

You’re really asking a lot. I mean, it’s been days. Since he proposed to me, what if he, what if he gets tired of waiting? What if he takes it back? Well then you, my little potato pancake can consider yourself lucky.

Ah, so. Here I am recovering from my brush with death, which given that I actually did lose my life some time ago, doesn’t seem that momentous does it. I mean, if I can come back stronger than ever, from the great beyond, you’ll be back to your old self again, stronger than ever. Once more. And looking at the bright side, my being out of commission for a little while.

Provided an opportunity for you and Gwen to spend some very valuable time together and for you to learn that she is both loyal and Carrie.

Megan, you’re awake. I am indeed. I’m very happy to see you. Are you. I, I wouldn’t be anywhere else. Your son here has been praying for your recovery, as have I. I’m very grateful to both of you.

You both did very well. Is everything clear to you now? Oh, that’s psycho. Megan was planning to kill Stephan. She brainwashed Harris and obviously set up Le Shin to take the fall. Thank God it all came back to us. Oh my God. But it’s still her word against ours. But we have the advantage now. We have the truth.

Marina, I know this was asking a lot and we are so very grateful, but because of you, we can stop Megan from doing any further damage. No, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Marlena. I, I don’t know how, what to say. Just. Make sure she pays. Okay. What is our next move? We should split up. You go to the station and alert the police.

All right. And what are you gonna do? My dear sister is languishing in hospital. I think it’s time we pay her a visit.

Honestly, this is so wonderful. It’s just such an absolute relief to me too, obviously, especially knowing that you’ve been here by my son’s side, the entire ordeal.

Yes. Well, I’ve, I’ve seen how devoted your son is to you. He was sick with worry. Well, no more worry now. Just a great deal of gratitude that we still have so many happy days ahead of us here, here, and you know, this entire experience has made me realize how much I’ve taken for granted going along as if I have infinite tomorrows.

But this has reminded me that there is nothing in life. That’s a guarantee. It could all end tomorrow in an instant. So I say looking at the two of you, beautiful people starting a new life together.

At least I fer hope you are.

By Darlene’s son and you Gwen, who have supported him through this difficult time, allow me to impart a bit of wisdom.

Don’t postpone your happiness. If an opportunity presents itself, seize it with courage and conviction, and without delay, don’t let it pass you by.

I think I need to rest Yes. Of, of course. I hope that we haven’t text you too much. Not at all. You’ve warmed my heart. Inspired me to heal quickly. But you could go home now. Get out of this jury hospital. You sure? You’ll be all right? Absolutely. Just seeing the two of you growing closer together, making each other happy, it reminds me of the richness in life of the wealth that’s available to us if we simply commit and receive it.

Right. Well, I’m, I’m gonna let you rest, right?

I’m.

Bravo. That was most eloquent out there. Do you think I got my point across? Oh yes. Very effectively. And now, uh, it is time for you to take the reins. Dimitri. It is time for you to make this happen. Make that woman your wife. I will do my damnedest and one.

Don’t trust the others, the, and never forget that you and I we’re a team. We must stick together a united front. Yes, yes, yes. Mother United front. Always,

I love you.

Tell Ms. Trask it’s urgent. Stephan Demara. No, she has my number step. What are you doing here, Gabby? And I just grubbly shin. Now I need to find the da. Yes. Same here. Need to talk. I need to start from Megan. What? What?

What’s wrong? I don’t have time to explain. I’m looking for my sister’s room. Megan, why? So I can tell that maniacal snake that the jig is up. So Marlena agreed to hypnotize you and ej. Mm-hmm. I mean, she wasn’t happy about it, but she did know it was the only way. Did it work? Yeah, sure did. And now we know the truth about what our sister did to us and what she tried to do to you.

So Megan is actually the one who wanted step in death? That’s right. Well, Harris is convinced that the order came from Shin. Yeah. Lee insists he didn’t give Michaels a command to kill me, Gabby, and I don’t know whether to believe him. Well, you can believe him. All right. The commander did not get his commands from Shin.

Forget Shin. Megan’s behind this. It’s all about getting control of the company. Are you sure? Thanks to Marlena. Yes. I frigging knew it

well. Megan gambled that EJ and I wouldn’t remember, and she gambled and lost. It’s the perfect setup. She programs Michaels to think he got his orders from Lee. Her hands stay clean. Mm-hmm. But not anymore. You see, everyone’s gonna know the truth about Megan starting with the da. I left her a message to call me as soon as she’s out of her meeting.

No need for you to hang around as Megan’s intended victim. I would like to be the one to give Trask everything she needs to nail our sister to the wall. Mm. All right, then I will see you back at the house.

It’s time to let my sister know that she’s not fooling anyone anymore. Has she even woken up yet? Well, if she hasn’t, I’ll shake her back to consciousness. Oh, I would love to see the look on her face when she finds out she’s gonna be spending the rest of her miserable life in a cage. And by all means, join me.

I got a message through the police that you wanted to see me. Dr. Evans, thank you for, for coming. What’s going on?

Um,

I realize that I, I need your help.

Coast is clear. Let’s give this another go.

What are you hiding here? Dimwit.

Who the hell do you think you

probably feels like forever since you’ve been back here? I haven’t really missed it, truth be told. That’s because wherever you are is where I now want to be.

I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to have you by my side. I would never have left him alone. Never.

What is it?

Nothing. Okay, I should go. You get some rest. I’ll call you later. Dimitri. Wait.

Look, I know that there’s a lot going on right now.

But I haven’t forgotten that you are waiting my response to your proposal. Oh, Gwen, don’t worry about that. I can wait. No, I can’t wait. And I have an answer for you now.

My answer is yes.

So do you believe me? Now let me be very clear, Lee. I would never take your word on anything, but Kristen was just here and she remembers what happened now. She confirmed what you said. Megan programmed Harris to kill me. Finally, so go talk to the police and get me outta here. No, no, no. This may have been Megan’s plan, but you damn well could have been in on it.

So till I have confirmation, I. That you weren’t, you’re not going anywhere,

dear. I know the truth now.

R.J.: Honestly, I wanted to believe that liam was gonna be there, but…

Brooke: Have you talked to hope since this morning?

R.J.: No, I haven’T. Seems like she needs her space.

Brooke: Oh, she may need us now more than ever. I– I don’t understand it. Kissing thomas like that. Why would she do that? Throw away everything that she has with liam.

Ridge: Well, you know, we may never know why she did what she did.

Steffy: Look, I know this wasn’t your doing. Hope’s the one. You’re not to blame. But that kiss, it changes everything. Hope kissed you. It’s her fault, not yours.

Hope: We have a future. We do. We have a life and a family that we need to protect, and I understand that what I did put that in jeopardy, but liam, I refuse to give up on us. I still believe in us. Please say that you do, too.

Liam: We have– we have been through so much. I– I wanted us to work. I wanted our family to thrive, but I– I can’t give you what you need. I can’t forgive this. Not you and thomas. The fact is, our marriage is over and you– and you and you always knew that it would be if you chose this. So, uh, you know… I want a divorce. Hi, I’m sharon, and I lost 52 pounds on golo.

Brooke: To be quite honest, I have had concerns about hope’s feelings for thomas for quite some time.

R.J.: Why would she kiss thomas?

Brooke: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe she got caught up in the success of hope for the future, and you and I both know what that’s like. All of the energy and the excitement and the intensity of doing something amazing together, and then add on the romance of rome…

Ridge: It’s still not excuse.

Brooke: No, I didn’t say it was.

Ridge: Well…

Brooke: I don’t mean that, it’s just, I’m trying to come up with some kind of explanation. Hope loves liam. She’s mortified by what she did. She’s going to fight for her marriage.

Thomas: Look, steff, this whole situation is, uh, complicated and really, it’s none of your business.

Steffy: It is my business if it has the ability to affect forrester creations and hope for the future.

Thomas: Okay, steff, please tell me you’re not gonna do anything to upset hope and liam’s marriage. I don’t want one little kiss to ruin her entire life.

Steffy: So, wait, you’re okay with everyone painting you as the villain just to protect hope? Well, the thing is, the truth is already out. Liam is the one who told me. Liam saw hope kissing you in front of the colosseum. He knows everything.

Hope: You don’t mean that. Liam, I know you’re hurt, but please… don’t talk about divorce. I mean, our marriage, it– it doesn’t have to be over.

Liam: What happens the next time you’re alone with thomas? I mean, between douglas and work, there’s always gonna be another opportunity for it to happen again.

Hope: No, no, it wouldn’t–

Liam: Hope, it doesn’t matter how much I love you. I’m going to be haunted by this every time you leave the house, every time I see you two together. That is– it’s not–

Hope: We can move past this. I promise you we can. I know we can because I’ve forgiven you for so much worse. I’m sorry, I love you. I love you.

Liam: Um… I’m gonna be– I’m gonna be staying at my dad’s until he’s, uh, back in town and we’ll– we’ll co-parent beth and we’ll– you know, we’ll make sure this is as easy on the kids as possible.

Hope: And what about us?

Liam: I love you more than anything. I don’t want this. But… you chose the one thing you knew I couldn’t survive. And let’s be honest, hope, you’re still not gonna stop working with him. You’re always gonna find new ways to keep him in your life, in our lives.

Hope: He is douglas’ father.

Liam: You gotta stop saying that ’cause it’s more than that. You have feelings for him. You are attracted to him. You want him. And what’s worse than that is that you’ve spent months accusing me of being jealous, of being controlling, of being unsupportive of your career. You made me feel crazy when you knew all along that what I was seeing was real. That– that, I can’t forgive. Of course, I’ve made mistakes. We’ve both made mistakes, we’ve both forgiven, but you’ve always known, not thomas, never thomas.

[Stomach growling]

R.J.: After what happened in rome, do you think hope’s marriage is gonna be able to survive?

Ridge: R.J.

R.J.: What?

Brooke: I don’t know. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more it just doesn’t make sense. Hope’s always been the good girl, you know, living her life with principles and morals. I never thought that this would happen. I never thought she would risk everything that she believed in just for a moment with thomas.

Thomas: Hold on a second. You– you said that liam saw us? That’s not possible. He wasn’t in rome.

Steffy: Yeah, liam regretted his decision not to be there for hope and her line. So, he surprised her. He flew to rome. He wanted to show how committed he was to their life and their marriage and instead, he saw his wife kissing you. I ran into liam after you and hope kissed and I– I’ve never seen him so heartbroken and disillusioned.

[ Liam sobbing ]

Steffy: Oh, my god, liam. Hey. [ Sighs ]

Thomas: I– I don’t know, I feel like I should talk to him.

Steffy: What? No, no, no, you don’t– you don’t have to do that. Liam saw hope kiss you.

Steffy: He knows that she was the one who initiated it and you already know how liam feels about you. Look, I– I tried to convince him to be able to find some forgiveness. I just, I don’t know if he’ll be able to do that.

Thomas: I have caused hope so much pain in her life and I– I– I don’t want to be responsible for any more of it. I mean, that time in rome, that should have been a highlight for her and her life and her career. But instead it’s, like, gonna be some kind of dark cloud, and it could lead to the end of her marriage.

Hope: We’ve always found our way back to each other. Liam, the life that we have built with each other, with beth, that is worth saving, that is worth fighting for. And I know that I have made mistakes, but like you said, we both have and we have always managed to find forgiveness.

Liam: Like I said, if it had been anyone else, you know, we– we’d have found our way back. We would have. But… with thomas, I can’t, I just… I can’T.

Hope: So, you’re saying there’s no way forward for us? You’re closing that door?

[ Sobbing ] Uh… I, um… I just have to ask. Have you seen steffy since this all happened? You have, haven’t you? Wow.

[ Laughs ] Oh. So, maybe it’s– it’s not just me. That’s the problem here, right? I mean, you… keep mentioning thomas, but steffy has always had a seat at the table in our relationship and our marriage, and you did go see her, didn’t you? Let me guess, you want her back now? Yeah. Liam, that’s pretty predictable.

Liam: Hey, hope. I haven’t had a single thought about steffy. But I’m thinking about her now. You know everything thomas has done. Pain and the suffering that he’s caused us, and there has to be something broken inside of you for you to want him, for you to want that.

Hope: Maybe you’re right.

Liam: Yeah. Goodbye, hope.

Living with diabetes?

Brooke: Hope and I have had some painful conversations. I– I never thought my past would influence her the way it has.

R.J.: No, mom, don’t blame yourself for this. All right? Hope is her own person and she’s gonna fix her relationship with liam in her own way. Okay?

Brooke: Okay. But I’m also concerned about some of the things she said to me. Like she doesn’t want to be anything like me and how she has no desire to live her life like I’ve lived mine.

Ridge: All right, but you gotta understand that she was upset and you know how much she loves you and respects you.

Brooke: I think the reason she was lashing out at me was because she was starting to have feelings stirring inside of her for another man, the wrong man. And it may have cost hope her relationship with liam.

Liam: I have begged you so many times to keep thomas out of your life. And when you don’t, we all pay the price.

Hope: Okay, fine. Fine. Fine, I’ll tell him no. I changed my mind.

Liam: What are you saying?

Hope: I asked thomas to come back to hope for the future. Thomas and I are… going to be working together… again. Liam, I don’t want to hurt you. But thomas is my lead designer. He is my partner and… I can’t imagine being in rome without him.

Liam: Of course, I’ve made mistakes. We’ve both made mistakes. We’ve both forgiven. But you’ve always known, not thomas, never thomas. I want a divorce.

[ Knock on the door ]

Hope: Liam knows. He saw us in italy.

Thomas: I know. Steffy told me. I– I was gonna call but I didn’t know if it’d make the situation worse. Did you talk to liam? What did he say?

Hope: Well, I tried to explain it. I tried to make sense of it. That we weren’T… exactly thinking, but he did not want to hear that. And, um… yeah, after everything we have been through… liam doesn’t see a way forward for us. Liam wants a divorce.

“Shore Leave”

SPOCK: (Kirk stretches and groans) Something wrong?
KIRK: A kink in my back. (behind his back the Yeoman starts to massage it) That’s it. A little higher, please. Push. Push hard. Dig it in there, Mister–
(Spock steps forward and Kirk realizes who is massaging his lower back)
KIRK: Thank you, Yeoman. That’s sufficient.
TONIA: You need sleep, Captain. If it’s not out of line
KIRK: I have enough of that from Doctor McCoy, Yeoman. Thank you.

SULU: Beautiful, beautiful. No animals, no people, no worries. Just what the doctor ordered. Right, Doctor?
MCCOY: I couldn’t have prescribed better. We are one weary ship.
SULU: Do you think the Captain will authorize shore leave here?
MCCOY: Depending upon my report and that of the other scouting parties. You know, you have to see this place to believe it. It’s like something out of Alice in Wonderland. The Captain has to come down.
SULU: He’d like it.
MCCOY: He needs it. You’ve got your problems, I’ve got mine. He’s got ours, plus his, plus four hundred and thirty other people’s.

RABBIT: Oh, my paws and whiskers! I’ll be late.
ALICE: Excuse me, sir. Have you seen a rather large white rabbit with a yellow waistcoat and white gloves here about?

TONIA: Sir, I don’t see your name in any of the shore parties.
KIRK: I may be tired, Yeoman, but I’m not falling apart. Dismissed.

MCCOY: Either our scouting probes and detectors are malfunctioning, and all us scouts careless and beauty-intoxicated, or I must report myself unfit for duty.
KIRK: Explain.
MCCOY: On this supposedly uninhabited planet, I just saw a large rabbit pull a gold watch from his vest and claim that he was late.
KIRK: That’s pretty good. I got one for you. The rabbit was followed by a little blonde girl, right?
MCCOY: As a matter of fact, yes. And they disappeared through a hole in a hedge.
KIRK: All right, Doctor, I’ll take your report under consideration. Captain out. That’s a McCoy pill, with a little mystery sugar-coating. He wants to get me down there. I’m afraid I won’t swallow it.

KIRK: Yes, Mister Spock, what is it?
SPOCK: I picked this up from Doctor McCoy’s log. We have a crewmember aboard who’s showing signs of stress and fatigue. Reaction time down nine to twelve percent, associational reading norm minus three.
KIRK: That’s much too low a rating.
SPOCK: He’s becoming irritable and quarrelsome, yet he refuses to take rest and rehabilitation. Now, He has that right, but we’ve found–
KIRK: A crewman’s right ends where the safety of the ship begins. That man will go a shore on my orders. What’s his name?
SPOCK: James Kirk. Enjoy yourself, Captain. It’s an interesting planet. You’ll find it quite pleasant. Very much like your Earth.

KIRK: Bones, know any good rabbit jokes lately?
MCCOY: As a matter of fact, I do, but this is not one of them. Look at this. I saw what I saw, or maybe I hallucinated it, but I want you to take a look and tell me what you think about it.
KIRK: Footprints. Could be a rabbit. It would have to be an unusual creature to make this size tracks.

KIRK: What’s the matter, Bones, you getting a persecution complex?
MCCOY: Well, yeah, I’m beginning to feel a little bit picked on, if that’s what you mean.
KIRK: I know the feeling very well. I had it at the Academy. An upper classman there. One practical joke after another, and always on me. My own personal devil. A guy by the name of Finnegan.
MCCOY: And you being the very serious young–
KIRK: Serious? I’ll make a confession, Bones. I was absolutely grim, which delighted Finnegan no end. He’s the kind of guy to put a bowl of cold soup in your bed or a bucket of water propped on a half-open door. You never knew where he’d strike next.

MCCOY: Feeling better?
TONIA: A little, but I wouldn’t want to be alone here.
MCCOY: It’s a beautiful place. A little strange, I’ll admit.
TONIA: That’s just it. It’s almost too beautiful. I was thinking, even before my tunic was torn, that in a place like this a girl should be, oh let’s see now, a girl should be dressed like a fairy-tale princess, with lots of floaty stuff and a tall hat with a veil.
MCCOY: I see what you mean, but then you’d have whole armies of Don Juans to fight off. And me, too.
TONIA: Is that a promise, Doctor?

CARETAKER: This entire planet was constructed for our race of people to come and play.
SULU: Play? As advanced as you obviously are, and you still play?
KIRK: Yes, play, Mister Sulu. The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play.

“The Galileo Seven”

SCOTT: What a mess.
SPOCK: Picturesque descriptions will not mend broken circuits, Mister Scott. I think you’ll find your work is cut out for you.

SCOTT: You don’t really expect to get an answer, do you?
SPOCK: I expect nothing, Mister Scott. It is merely logical to try all the alternatives.

MCCOY: Traces of argon, neon, krypton, all in acceptable quantities. However, I wouldn’t recommend this place as a summer resort.
SPOCK: Thank you for your opinion. It will be duly noted.

MCCOY: Well, I can’t say much for the circumstances, but at least it’s your big chance.
SPOCK: My big chance? For what, Doctor?
MCCOY: Command. Oh, I know you, Mister Spock. You’ve never voiced it, but you’ve always thought that logic was the best basis on which to build command. Am I right?
SPOCK: I am a logical man, Doctor.
MCCOY: It’ll take more than logic to get us out of this.
SPOCK: Perhaps, Doctor, but I know of no better way to begin. I realize command does have its fascinations, even under circumstances such as these. But I neither enjoy the idea of command, nor am I frightened of it. It simply exists. And I will do whatever logically needs to be done. Excuse me.

SCOTT: Very bad, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: In what way?
SCOTT: We’ve lost a great deal of fuel. We have no chance at all to reach escape velocity. And if we ever hope to make orbit, we’ll have to lighten our load by at least five hundred pounds.
SPOCK: The weight of three grown men.
SCOTT: Aye, you could put it that way.
MCCOY: Or the equivalent weight in equipment.
SPOCK: Doctor McCoy, with very few exceptions we use virtually every piece of equipment aboard this craft in attaining orbit. There’s very little excess weight, except among the passengers.
BOMA: You mean three of us must stay behind.
SPOCK: Unless the situation changes radically, yes.
BOMA: And who’s to choose?
SPOCK: As commanding officer, the choice will be mine.
BOMA: You wouldn’t be interested in drawing lots?
SPOCK: A very quaint idea, Mister Boma, but I do believe I’m better qualified to make the selection than any random drawing of lots.
BOMA: All right, Mister Spock. Who?
SPOCK: My choice will be a logical one, arrived at through logical means.
MCCOY: Mister Spock, life and death are seldom logical.
SPOCK: But attaining a desired goal always is, Doctor.

BOMA: If any minor damage was overlooked, it was when they put his head together.
MCCOY: Not his head, Mister Boma, his heart. His heart.

BOMA: There’s a man lying there dead, and you talk about stone spears. What about Latimer?
SPOCK: My concern for the dead will not bring him back to life, Mister Boma.

MEARS: We should be able to scrape up another hundred pounds.
SPOCK: Which would still leave us at least one hundred and fifty pounds overweight.
MCCOY: I can’t believe you’re serious about leaving someone behind. Now whatever it is that’s out there
SPOCK: It is more rational to sacrifice one life than six, Doctor.
MCCOY: I’m not talking about rationality.
SPOCK: You might be wise to start.

SPOCK: I hear them. They’re directly ahead of us. Several, I believe. Direct your phasers to two o’clock and to ten o’clock.
GAETANO: I say we hit them dead on.
SPOCK: Yes, I know. But fortunately, I’m giving the orders. Take aim please, and fire when I give a signal.

CHIEF: Captain, it’s a big planet. It’ll be sheer luck if our landing parties find anything.
KIRK: I’m depending on luck, Lieutenant. It’s almost the only tool we have that’ll work.

SPOCK: Most illogical reaction. We demonstrated our superior weapons. They should have fled.
MCCOY: You mean they should have respected us?
SPOCK: Of course.
MCCOY: Mister Spock, respect is a rational process. Did it ever occur to you they might react emotionally, with anger?
SPOCK: Doctor, I am not responsible for their unpredictability.
MCCOY: They were perfectly predictable to anyone with feeling. You might as well admit it, Mister Spock, your precious logic brought them down on us.

BOMA: All right, Spock, you have all the answers. What now?
SPOCK: Mister Boma, your tone is increasingly hostile.
BOMA: My tone isn’t the only thing that’s hostile, Mister Spock!
SPOCK: Curious. Most illogical.
BOMA: I’m sick and tired of your logic!
MEARS: We could use a little inspiration.
SPOCK: Strange. Step by step, I have made the correct and logical decisions. And yet two men have died.
MCCOY: And you’ve brought our furry friends down on us.

SCOTT: Mister Spock, you said a while ago that there were always alternatives.
SPOCK: Did l? I may have been mistaken.
MCCOY: Well, at least I lived long enough to hear that.

MCCOY: It may be the last action you’ll ever take, Mister Spock, but it was all human.
SPOCK: Totally illogical. There was no chance.
MCCOY: That’s exactly what I mean.

KIRK: There’s really something I don’t understand about all of this. Maybe you can explain it to me. Logically, of course. When you jettisoned the fuel and ignited it, you knew there was virtually no chance of it being seen, yet you did it anyhow. That would seem to me to be an act of desperation.
SPOCK: Quite correct, Captain.
KIRK: Now we all know, and I’m sure the doctor will agree with me, that desperation is a highly emotional state of mind. How does your well-known logic explain that?
SPOCK: Quite simply, Captain. I examined the problem from all angles, and it was plainly hopeless. Logic informed me that under the circumstances, the only possible action would have to be one of desperation. Logical decision, logically arrived at.
KIRK: I see. You mean you reasoned that it was time for an emotional outburst.
SPOCK: Well, I wouldn’t put it in exactly those terms, Captain, but those are essentially the facts.
KIRK: You’re not going to admit that for the first time in your life, you committed a purely human emotional act?
SPOCK: No, sir.
KIRK: Mister Spock, you’re a stubborn man.
SPOCK: Yes, sir.

“The Squire of Gothos”

SPOCK: The precise meaning of the word desert is a waterless, barren wasteland. I fail to understand your romantic nostalgia for such a place.
MCCOY: That doesn’t surprise me, Mister Spock. I can’t imagine a mirage ever disturbing those mathematically perfect brain waves of yours.
SPOCK: Thank you, Doctor McCoy.

UHURA: Mister Spock. Look.
(Words are appearing on the monitor above her head, in gothic script. Spock reads them out loud)
SPOCK: Greetings and felicitations. Hmm. Send this, Lieutenant. USS Enterprise to signaler on planet surface. Identify self.
(The reply comes up on the monitor)
SPOCK: Hip hip hoorah? And I believe it’s pronounced tally ho.
DESALLE: Some kind of a joke, sir?

TRELANE: You must excuse my whimsical way of fetching you here, but when I saw you passing by I simply could not resist.

TRELANE: DeSalle, did you say? Un vrai Francais?
DESALLE: My ancestry is French, yes.
TRELANE: Ah, monsieur. Vive la gloire. Vive Napoleon. You know, I admire your Napoleon very much.
KIRK: This is Mister DeSalle, our navigator. Doctor McCoy, our medical officer. Mister Sulu, our helmsman, and Carl Jaeger, meteorologist.
TRELANE: Welcome, good physicianer and honorable sir. (bows low)
SULU: Is he kidding?
TRELANE: Und Offizier Jaeger, und der deutsche Soldat, nein? (gives a little Prussian salute then marches around) Eins, zwei, drei, vier. Gehen vir mit dem Schiessgewehr.
JAEGER: I’m a scientist, not a military man.
TRELANE: Oh come now. We’re all military men under the skin. And how we do love our uniforms.

KIRK: This drawing room, did you create it by rearranging matter on this planet?
TRELANE: Quite.
KIRK: I see. How did you manage–
TRELANE: Dear Captain, your inquiries are becoming tiresome. I want you to be happy. Free yourself of care. Let’s enjoy ourselves in the spirit of martial good fellowship.
KIRK: Come on, let’s go. We’re getting out of here.
TRELANE: Tut, tut, tut. You’re being quite rude. You can’t go. Apparently, you need another demonstration of my authority. Yes, quite.

SPOCK: Apply a fine tuning on our sensors. Locate any life forms in that stable area.
SCOTT: If we find any, it doesn’t follow that it would be our people.
SPOCK: Affirmative. But if the Captain is down there and alive, that’s where he’ll have to be. We’ll attempt to transport up any living beings our sensors detect.
SCOTT: Shooting in the dark, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Or stand by and do nothing, Mister Scott.

KIRK: If your admiration is genuine, you must have respect for our sense of duty too. Our ship has need of us. We have tasks to perform.
TRELANE: Oh, I can’t let you go now. I was getting a bit bored until you came. You must stay. I insist.

TRELANE: Yes, of course. I forget that I shouldn’t frighten you too much. But I warn you, you can’t provoke me again. Come, everyone. Let’s forget your bad manners. Let’s be full of merry talk and sallies of wit. We have victuals to delight the palate and brave company to delight the mind. Come, Doctor, do partake. Ah, you’ve been quite derelict in your social duties, Captain. You haven’t introduced me to the charming contingent of your crew.

KIRK: Lieutenant Uhura of communications.
TRELANE: Ah a Nubian prize. (he kisses her hand) Taken on one of your raids of conquest, no doubt, Captain.
KIRK: No doubt.
TRELANE: She has the melting eyes of the queen of Sheba. The same lovely coloring. And this. Is this the face that launched a thousand ships and burnt the topless towers of Ilium? Fair Helen, make me immortal with a kiss.

TRELANE: Oh, Mister Spock, you do have one saving grace after all. You’re ill-mannered. The human half of you, no doubt. (to Ross) Ah, come, my little wood nymph. Won’t you dance with your swain? (to Uhura) Give us some sprightly music, my dear girl.

MCCOY: You should taste his food. Straw would taste better than his meat, and water a hundred times better than his brandy. Nothing has any taste at all.
SPOCK: It may be unappetizing, Doctor, but it is very logical.
MCCOY: There’s that magic word again. Does your logic find this fascinating, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Fascinating is a word I use for the unexpected. In this case, I should think interesting would suffice.
KIRK: You don’t find this unexpected, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: That his food has no taste, his wine no flavor? No. It simply means that Trelane knows all of the Earth forms, but none of the substance.

TRELANE: Ah, my dear, don’t we make a graceful pair? Except for one small detail. That dress hardly matches this charming scene.
(Suddenly she’s wearing an empire line dress with feathers in her hair. Idealized Jane Austen)
TRELANE: Ah, yes, that’s more what we want. The dashing warrior and his elegant lady.

KIRK: Don’t be too upset by what you see, gentlemen. After all, his actions are those of an immature, unbalanced mind.
TRELANE: I overheard that remark, Captain. I’m afraid I’ll have to dispense with you.
KIRK: You only heard part of it. I just started.
TRELANE: Oh?
KIRK: Yes. I want you to leave my crewmen alone. I want you to leave my crewwomen alone too. (to Ross) You’re not to dance with him. I don’t like it.
TRELANE: Does it actually make you angry, Captain?
KIRK: (removing one of her long gloves) I don’t want you accepting his gifts, either.
ROSS: Captain, please don’t do this.
TRELANE: Well, I do believe the dear Captain is jealous of me.
KIRK: I don’t care what you believe, just keep your hands off her!
TRELANE: Oh, how curiously human. How wonderfully barbaric.

TRELANE: Oh, how fascinating. I’m party to an actual human duel.
KIRK: Are you ready?
TRELANE: Quite ready, sir. We shall test each other’s courage and then, and then we shall see.
KIRK: Enough talk. Let’s get on with it.
TRELANE: As you will, sir. Honor will be served, eh?

ROSS: May I take a moment to change?
KIRK: Yes, I think you might. Turn in your glass slippers. The ball is over.
ROSS: Gladly, Captain.

SPOCK: That was the planet Gothos, Captain.
KIRK: Gothos? Mister Sulu, have we been going in circles?
SULU: No, sir. All instruments show on course.
SPOCK: Gothos again, Captain.
KIRK: Hard over, Mister Sulu.
SPOCK: Cat and mouse game.
KIRK: With us as the mouse.

KIRK: I’ve had enough of your games.
TRELANE: Oh, the absurdity of these inferior beings.

KIRK: We’re living beings, not playthings for your amusement.
TRELANE: Silence! This trial is over. You are guilty. On all counts, you are guilty. And according to your own laws, this court has no choice in fixing punishment. You will hang by the neck, Captain, until you are dead, dead, dead!

TRELANE: Until a moment ago, I didn’t think it possible, but it was. (takes off his robes and wig) I did it. I was angry. I actually experienced genuine rage. This experiment has been successful.
KIRK: I’m glad you weren’t disappointed.
TRELANE: Why, Captain, you’re still angry. Would that I could have sustained that moment. Ah, no matter. Do you have a last request?
KIRK: Trelane, if you think I’m going to cheerfully and obediently stick my head in that noose
TRELANE: You still haven’t learned. You have no choice. Oh, this is becoming quite tiresome. It’s all so very easy.
KIRK: That’s your problem, Trelane. Everything is easy. It’s given you a bad habit. You’re not aware of it, but you have it. You don’t think, Trelane. That’s your problem. You miss opportunities, like your anger before and mine right now. Oh, you enjoy it, but you couldn’t have accomplished it without me, and you know why? Because you’re a bumbling, inept fool.
TRELANE: Take care, now.
KIRK: Here you have an opportunity to experience something really unique, and you’re wasting it. You want to commit murder? Go ahead, but where’s the sport in a simple hanging?
TRELANE: The sport?
KIRK: Yes. The terror of murder. The suspense. The fun.
TRELANE: Oh, I’m intrigued. Go ahead, Captain. What do you suggest?

TRELANE: I order you! I order you! (Kirk disarms him and snaps the sword across his knee) You broke it! You broke my sword!
KIRK: You’ve got a lot to learn about winning, Trelane.
TRELANE: You dare to defy me!
KIRK: In fact, you’ve got a lot to learn about everything, haven’t you?
(Kirk slaps his face)
TRELANE: I’ll fix you for that! You cheated! You haven’t played the game right. I’ll show you!

MOTHER: You’ll grow up, Trelane. You’ll understand. Now come along.
TRELANE: Oh, but you said I could. You promised. I never have any fun.
FATHER: Stop that nonsense at once, or you’ll not be permitted to make any more planets.
TRELANE: Oh, but you saw. I was winning. I would have won. Honest.

SPOCK: For the record, how do we describe him? Pure mentality? Force of intellect? Embodied energy? Superbeing? He must be classified, sir.
KIRK: God of war, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: I hardly find that fitting.
KIRK: Then a small boy, and a very naughty one at that.
SPOCK: It will make a strange entry in the library banks.
KIRK: Then he was a very strange small boy. One the other hand, he was probably doing things comparable to the same mischievous pranks you played when you were a boy.
SPOCK: Mischievous pranks, Captain?
KIRK: Yes. Dipping little girls’ curls in inkwells. Stealing apples from the neighbors’ trees. Tying cans on
(He’s stopped by the look of horrified incredulity on Spock’s face.)
KIRK: Forgive me, Mister Spock. I should have known better.
SPOCK: I shall be delighted, Captain.

“Arena”

KIRK: You’ll enjoy Commodore Travers. He sets a good table.
MCCOY: I wonder if he brought his personal chef along with him to Cestus Three.
KIRK: Probably. Rank hath its privileges.
MCCOY: How well we both know that.

MCCOY: Spock, isn’t it enough the commodore is famous for his hospitality? I, for one, could use a good non-reconstituted meal.
SPOCK: Doctor, you are a sensualist.
MCCOY: You bet your pointed ears I am.

KIRK: It was a trap. Getting the Enterprise to come to Cestus Three, getting us and our whole crew to come ashore.
SPOCK: Very clever. As to the reason?
KIRK: The reason is crystal clear. The Enterprise is the only protection in this section of the Federation. Destroy the Enterprise, and everything is wide open.
SPOCK: You allude to invasion, Captain, yet positive proof
KIRK: I have all the proof I need on Cestus Three.
SPOCK: Not necessarily, sir. Several possible explanations
KIRK: How can you explain a massacre like that? No, Mister Spock. The threat is clear and immediate. Invasion.
SPOCK: Very well, then. If that’s the case, you must make certain that the alien vessel never reaches its home base.

SPOCK: A sustained warp seven speed will be dangerous, Captain.
KIRK: Thank you, Mister Spock. I mean to catch them.
SCOTT: We’ll either catch them or blow up, Captain. They may be faster than we are.
KIRK: They’ll have to prove it. Yes, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: You mean to destroy the alien ship, Captain?
KIRK: Of course.
SPOCK: I thought perhaps the hot pursuit alone might be sufficient. Destruction might be unnecessary.
KIRK: Colony Cestus Three has been obliterated, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: The destruction of the alien vessel will not help that colony, Jim.

KIRK: Do I make myself clear?
SPOCK: Very clear, Captain.
KIRK: I’m delighted, Mister Spock.

MCCOY: What are you going to do, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: I’m going to wait, Doctor. There’s little else I can do.
MCCOY: What about the Captain?
SPOCK: If I could help him, I would. I cannot.
MCCOY: Now, you’re the one that’s always talking about logic. What about some logic now? Where’s the Captain, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: He’s out there, Doctor. Out there somewhere in a thousand cubic parsecs of space, and there’s absolutely nothing we can do to help him.

KIRK: You’re a Metron?
METRON: Does my appearance surprise you, Captain?
KIRK: You seem more like a boy.
METRON: I am approximately fifteen hundred of your Earth years old.

SULU: It’s impossible, but there’s Sirius over there when it should be here. And Canopus. And Arcanis. We’re. All of a sudden, we’re clear across the galaxy, five hundred parsecs from where we are I mean, were. I mean
KIRK: Don’t try and figure it out, Mister Sulu.

KIRK; You saw what happened down there?
SPOCK: Most of it. I would be interested in knowing what finally happened.
KIRK: We’re a most promising species, Mister Spock, as predators go. Did you know that?
SPOCK: I’ve frequently had my doubts.
KIRK: I don’t. Not anymore. And maybe in a thousand years or so, we’ll be able to prove it. Never mind, Mister Spock. It doesn’t make much sense to me either.

“Tomorrow is Yesterday”

KIRK: Auxiliaries?
SPOCK: If Mister Scott is still with us, auxiliaries should be on momentarily. (Uhura is just stirring on the floor) Are you all right, Lieutenant?
(He helps her back to her seat, and the lights come on.)
SPOCK: Mister Scott is still with us.

CREWWOMAN: Good morning, Captain.
KIRK: Morning. (drags Christopher along) Captain.
CHRISTOPHER: A woman?
KIRK: Crewman.

CHRISTOPHER: I never have believed in little green men.
SPOCK: Neither have I.

KIRK: Feel free to look around, Captain. Don’t touch anything, but I think you’ll find it interesting.
CHRISTOPHER: Interesting is a word and a half for it, Captain.

KIRK: Very well, Mister Spock. Anything else on your mind?
SPOCK: Captain Christopher.
KIRK: What about him?
SPOCK: We cannot return him to Earth, Captain. He already knows too much about us and is learning more. I do not specifically refer to Captain Christopher, but suppose an unscrupulous man were to gain certain knowledge of man’s future? Such a man could manipulate key industries, stocks, and even nations. and in so doing, change what must be. And if it is changed, Captain, you and I and all that we know might not even exist.
KIRK: Your logic can be most annoying.

KIRK: Computer on. Record.
COMPUTER: (in a low, breathy voice) Recording.
KIRK: Come.
(Spock enters with Christopher, who is now dressed in Command gold)
KIRK: Captain’s log, supplemental. Engineering Officer Scott informs warp engines damaged, but can be made operational and reenergized.
COMPUTER: Computed and recorded, dear.
KIRK: Computer, you will not address me in that manner. Compute.
COMPUTER: Computed, dear.
KIRK: Mister Spock, I ordered this computer and its interlinking systems repaired.
SPOCK: I have investigated it, Captain. To correct the fault will require an overhaul of the entire computer system and a minimum of three weeks at a Starbase.
KIRK: I wouldn’t mind so much if it didn’t get so affectionate.
SPOCK: It also has an unfortunate tendency to giggle.
CHRISTOPHER: I take it that a lady computer is not routine.
SPOCK: We put in at Cygnet Fourteen for general repair and maintenance. Cygnet Fourteen is a planet dominated by women. They seemed to feel the ship’s computer system lacked a personality. They gave it one. Female, of course.
CHRISTOPHER: Well, you people certainly have interesting problems. I’d love to stay around to see how your girlfriend works out, but…

COMPUTER: Recommendation for his disposition, dear?
KIRK: Maintenance note. My recording computer has a serious malfunction. Recommend it either be corrected or scrapped. Compute.
COMPUTER: (petulant) Computed.

MCCOY: Jim, what if we can’t go back? What do we do, sit up here and wait for our supplies to run out, our power to die? It has to eventually, you know. We certainly can’t go back to Earth. It would be worse than the Captain being returned. There are four hundred and thirty of us, and that means four hundred and thirty chances of altering the future.
KIRK: Yes. But we’re not in that position yet.
MCCOY: I’m glad to hear it.
KIRK: And if we do get back to where we belong, then he won’t belong. We’re roughly about the same age, but in our society he’d be useless. Archaic.
MCCOY: Maybe he could be retrained, reeducated.
KIRK: Now you’re sounding like Spock.
MCCOY: If you’re going to get nasty, I’m going to leave.

KIRK: You all right?
CHRISTOPHER: Yeah. I see physical training is required in your service, too.
SPOCK: Crude methods, but effective.
CHRISTOPHER: What does he mean by that?
MCCOY: It’s just a joke, Captain.

KIRK: We’re going to have to go back and get those reports and photos. If the Captain feels duty bound to report what he saw, there won’t be any evidence to support him.
CHRISTOPHER: That makes me out to be either a liar or a fool.
KIRK: Perhaps.
SPOCK: Not at all. You’ll simply be one of the thousands who thought he saw a UFO.

KIRK: I want you to keep him in the transporter room. No sense in letting him see more of the ship than is necessary.
SPOCK: I don’t believe there’ll be trouble in that respect, Captain.
(The Sergeant still hasn’t hardly moved a muscle when McCoy gently takes the gun and communicator out of his hands.)
SPOCK: Our guest seems quite satisfied to remain where he is.

SPOCK: (examining a roll of film) Poor photography.
MCCOY: Blast your theories and observations, Mister Spock. What about Jim? He’s down there alone, probably under arrest. He doesn’t have a communicator, and we can’t locate him or beam him back aboard without one.

FELLINI: Now, look, Mister. You and I had better start communicating. I want to know how you got in here. That’s a simple question. Give me a simple answer. Nobody saw you. You got all the way inside without tripping any alarm. How did you do it?
KIRK: Believe me, Colonel, you wouldn’t believe me.
FELLINI: Don’t try to be funny. How did you get in?
KIRK: I popped in out of thin air.
FELLINI: You seem to think this is some kind of a game.
KIRK: No, Colonel. I know it’s no game.

KIRK: Colonel, would you mind being careful with that?
FELLINI: That worries you a little bit, huh? What is that, a radio? Transmitter of some kind?
KIRK: Of some kind.
FELLINI: You can be more specific than that, Kirk. I don’t like mysteries.
KIRK: If you don’t stop being careless with that, you’ll have one. A big one.

FELLINI: All right, Kirk. Maybe this will make you laugh. Sabotage, espionage, unauthorized entry, burglary. How are those for starters? And I can think up lots more if you don’t start talking.
KIRK: All right, Colonel. The truth is, I’m a little green man from Alpha Centauri. A beautiful place. You ought to see it.
FELLINI: I am going to lock you up for two hundred years.
KIRK: That ought to be just about right.

SULU: Shall I issue phasers?
SPOCK: One for you, one for me. Set them on heavy stun force.
SULU: Yes, sir.
CHRISTOPHER: You don’t trust me, Spock.
SPOCK: In fact, I do. But only to a certain point.

CHRISTOPHER: What if you can’t pull free of the sun?
SCOTT: Oh, we’ll do that all right, Captain. We’ll not be getting so close that my engines couldn’t pull us out. What I am worried about, sir, that we may not have much control when we’re thrown forward again.

CHRISTOPHER: I never thought I’d make it into space. I was in line to be chosen for the space program but I didn’t qualify.
KIRK: Take a good look around, Captain. You made it here ahead of all of them.

SPOCK: Fifty years to go.
SULU: Engines cutting back, sir. No decrease in speed.
SPOCK: Forty, thirty.
KIRK: Never mind, Mister Spock.

 

“Court Martial”

KIRK: So that’s the way we do it now? Sweep it under the rug, and me along with it? Not on your life. I intend to fight.
STONE: Then you draw a general court.
KIRK: Draw it? I demand it. And right now, Commodore Stone. Right now.

KIRK: Areel. Doctor McCoy said you were here. I should have felt it in the air, like static electricity.
SHAW: Flattery will get you everywhere.
KIRK; It’s been, how long has it been?
SHAW: Four years, seven months, and an odd number of days. Not that I’m counting.
KIRK: You look marvelous. You haven’t changed a bit.
SHAW: But things have changed for you, haven’t they?
KIRK: Oh, you’ve heard about that, have you?

KIRK: Areel, you still haven’t told me how you know so much about what the prosecution’s going to do.
SHAW: Because, Jim Kirk, my dear old love, I am the prosecution, and I have to do my very best to have you slapped down hard. Broken out of the service, in disgrace.

COGLEY: You Kirk?
KIRK: Yes. (Notices the piles of books everywhere) What is all this?
COGLEY: I figure we’ll be spending some time together, so I moved in.
KIRK: I hope I’m not crowding you.
COGLEY: What’s the matter? Don’t you like books?
KIRK: Oh, I like them fine, but a computer takes less space.
COGLEY: A computer, huh? I got one of these in my office. Contains all the precedents. The synthesis of all the great legal decisions written throughout time. I never use it.
KIRK: Why not?
COGLEY: I’ve got my own system. Books, young man, books. Thousands of them. If time wasn’t so important, I’d show you something. My library. Thousands of books.
KIRK: And what would be the point?
COGLEY: This is where the law is. Not in that homogenized, pasteurized, synthesizer. Do you want to know the law, the ancient concepts in their own language, Learn the intent of the men who wrote them, from Moses to the tribunal of Alpha 3? Books.
KIRK: You have to be either an obsessive crackpot who’s escaped from his keeper or Samuel T. Cogley, attorney at law.
COGLEY: Right on both counts. Need a lawyer?
KIRK: I’m afraid so.

SHAW: Then how can you dispute the finding of the log?
SPOCK: I do not dispute it. I merely state that it is wrong.
SHAW: Oh? On what do you base that statement?
SPOCK: I know the Captain. He is in–
SHAW: Please instruct the witness not to speculate.
SPOCK: Lieutenant, I am half Vulcanian. Vulcanians do not speculate. I speak from pure logic. If I let go of a hammer on a planet that has a positive gravity, I need not see it fall to know that it has in fact fallen.
SHAW: I do not see what that has to–
SPOCK: Gentlemen, human beings have characteristics just as inanimate objects do. It is impossible for Captain Kirk to act out of panic or malice. It is not his nature.
SHAW: In your opinion.
SPOCK: Yes. In my opinion.

SHAW: The prosecution concedes the inestimable record of Captain Kirk.
STONE: Mister Cogley?
COGLEY: I wouldn’t want to slow the wheels of progress. But then on the other hand, I wouldn’t want those wheels to run over my client in their unbridled haste.

KIRK: Charges of malice have been raised. There was no malice. Lieutenant Commander Finney was a member of my crew, and that’s exactly the way he was treated. It has been suggested that I panicked on the bridge and jettisoned the ion pod prematurely. That is not so. You’ve heard some of the details of my record. This was not my first crisis. It was one of many. During it, I did what my experience and training required me to do. I took the proper steps in the proper order. I did exactly what had to be done, exactly when it should have been done.
COGLEY: You did the right thing, but would you do it again?
KIRK: Given the same circumstances I would do the same thing without hesitation, because the steps I took in the order I took them were absolutely necessary if I were to save my ship. And nothing is more important than my ship.
COGLEY: Your witness, Miss Shaw.

MCCOY: Well, I had to see it to believe it.
SPOCK: Explain.
MCCOY: They’re about to lop off the captain’s professional head, and you’re sitting here playing chess with the computer.
SPOCK: That is true.
MCCOY: Mister Spock, you’re the most cold-blooded man I’ve ever known.
SPOCK: Why, thank you, Doctor. I’ve just won my fourth game.
MCCOY: That’s impossible.

COGLEY: I can’t tell you, I’ll have to show you.
SHAW: Mister Cogley is well-known for his theatrics.
COGLEY: Is saving an innocent man’s career a theatric? i
STONE: Counsels will kindly direct their remarks to the bench.

SHAW: How long will it be this time before I see you again?
KIRK: At the risk of sounding like a mystic, that depends on the stars.
SHAW: Sam Cogley asked me to give you something special. It’s not a first edition, just a book. Sam says that makes it special.
KIRK: I didn’t have much of a chance to thank him.
SHAW: He’s busy on a case. He’s defending Ben Finney. He says he’ll win.
KIRK: I wouldn’t be a bit surprised.
SHAW: Do you think it would cause a complete breakdown of discipline if a lowly lieutenant kissed a Starship Captain on the bridge of his ship?
KIRK: Let’s try. (a gentle but lingering kiss) See? No change. Discipline goes on.
SHAW: And so must the Enterprise. Goodbye, Jim.
KIRK: Goodbye, Areel. Better luck next time.
SHAW: I had pretty good luck this time. I lost, didn’t l?
(She leaves, blowing him a final kiss. He pulls himself together, goes to his chair and sits between two stony-faced officers.)
KIRK: She’s a very good lawyer.
SPOCK: Obviously.
MCCOY: Indeed she is.

“The Return of The Archons”

KIRK: Landru.
SPOCK: There is no Landru, Captain, not in the human sense.
KIRK: You’re thinking the same thing I am. Mister Spock, the plug must be pulled.
SPOCK: Sir?
KIRK: Landru must die.
SPOCK: Captain, our Prime Directive of non-interference.
KIRK: That refers to a living, growing culture. Do you think this one is?

KIRK: Where is Landru?
MARPLON: No, no.
KIRK: Where do we find him?
MARPLON: We do not see him. We hear him, in the Hall of Audiences.
KIRK: In this building?
MARPLON: (reluctantly) Yes.
KIRK: You’re going to take us there. (the two men are terrified at the prospect) Spock, call the Enterprise.
MARPLON: No.
KIRK: Snap out of it! Start acting like men.

KIRK: Scotty, stand by. We’re doing the best we can. How’s Mister Sulu?
SCOTT: He’s peaceful enough, but he worries me.
KIRK: Put a guard on him.
SCOTT: On Sulu?
KIRK: That’s an order. Watch him. Captain out.

SPOCK: Marvelous.
KIRK: What?
SPOCK: The late Landru, Captain. A marvelous feat of engineering. A computer capable of directing the lives of millions of human beings.
KIRK: But only a machine, Mister Spock. The original Landru programmed it with all his knowledge but he couldn’t give it his wisdom, his compassion, his understanding, his soul, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: Predictably metaphysical. I prefer the concrete, the graspable, the provable.
KIRK: You’d make a splendid computer, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: That is very kind of you, Captain.

LINDSTROM: I just wanted to say goodbye, Captain.
KIRK: How’s it going?
LINDSTROM: Couldn’t be better. Already this morning, we’ve had half a dozen domestic quarrels and two genuine knock-down drag-outs. It may not be paradise, but it’s certainly human.
KIRK: Sounds most promising. Good luck.
SPOCK: How often mankind has wished for a world as peaceful and secure as the one Landru provided.
KIRK: Yes. And we never got it. Just lucky, I guess.

“Space Seed”

KIRK: We’re reading it, Lieutenant. I thought you said it couldn’t possibly be an Earth vessel.
SPOCK: I fail to understand why it always gives you pleasure to see me proven wrong.
KIRK: An emotional Earth weakness of mine.

MCCOY: The Eugenics Wars.
SPOCK: Of course. Your attempt to improve the race through selective breeding.
MCCOY: Now, wait a minute. Not our attempt, Mister Spock. A group of ambitious scientists. I’m sure you know the type. Devoted to logic, completely unemotional…
KIRK: All right, all right, gentlemen.

KIRK: The Bridge is yours, Mister Spock. Care to join the landing party, Doctor?
MCCOY: Well, if you’re actually giving me a choice…
KIRK: I’m not.

KIRK: You ready, Bones?
MCCOY: No. I signed aboard this ship to practice medicine, not to have my atoms scattered back and forth across space by this gadget.
KIRK: You’re an old-fashioned boy, McCoy.

MARLA: A man from the twentieth century coming alive.
MCCOY: Maybe. Heart beat dropping.

KIRK: Botany Bay. That was the name of a penal colony on shores of Australia, wasn’t it? If they took that name for their vessel
SPOCK: If you’re suggesting this was a penal deportation vessel, you’ve arrived at a totally illogical conclusion.
KIRK: Oh?
SPOCK: Your Earth was on the verge of a dark ages. Whole populations were being bombed out of existence. A group of criminals could have been dealt with far more efficiently than wasting one of their most advanced spaceships.
KIRK: Yes. So much for my theory. I’m still waiting to hear yours.
SPOCK: Even a theory requires some facts, Captain. So far I have none.
KIRK: And that irritates you, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: Irritation?
KIRK: Yeah.
SPOCK: I am not capable of that emotion.
KIRK: My apologies, Mister Spock. You suspect some danger in them?
SPOCK: Insufficient facts always invites danger, Captain.
KIRK: Well, we’d better get some facts.

MCCOY: Well, either choke me or cut my throat. Make up your mind.
KHAN: English. I thought I dreamed hearing it. Where am I?
MCCOY: You’re in– You’re in bed, holding a knife at your doctor’s throat.
KHAN: Answer my question.
MCCOY: It would be most effective if you would cut the carotid artery, just under the left ear.
(Khan releases him.)
KHAN: I like a brave man.
MCCOY: I was simply trying to avoid an argument.

KIRK: What was the exact date of your lift off? We know it was sometime in the early 1990s, but–
KHAN: I find myself growing fatigued, Doctor. May we continue this questioning at some other time?
KIRK: The facts I need, Mister Khan, will take very little time. For example, the nature of your expedition.
MCCOY: Jim. A little later might be better.

KIRK: Would you estimate him to be a product of selective breeding?
SPOCK: There is that possibility, Captain. His age would be correct. In 1993, a group of these young supermen did seize power simultaneously in over forty nations.
KIRK: Well, they were hardly supermen. They were aggressive, arrogant. They began to battle among themselves.
SPOCK: Because the scientists overlooked one fact. Superior ability breeds superior ambition.
KIRK: Interesting, if true. They created a group of Alexanders, Napoleons.

KHAN: I’ve been reading up on starships, but they have one luxury not mentioned in the manuals.
MARLA: I don’t understand.
KHAN: A beautiful woman. My name is Khan. Please sit and entertain me.

KIRK: Lieutenant McGivers’ idea to welcome Khan to our century. Just how strongly is she attracted to him?
MCCOY: Well, there aren’t any regulations against romance, Jim.
KIRK: My curiosity’s official, not personal, Bones.
MCCOY: Well, he has a magnetism. Almost electric. You felt it. And it could over power McGivers with her preoccupation with the past.

KIRK: Name, Khan, as we know him today. (Spock changes the picture) Name, Khan Noonien Singh.
SPOCK: From 1992 through 1996, absolute ruler of more than a quarter of your world. From Asia through the Middle East.
MCCOY: The last of the tyrants to be overthrown.
SCOTT: I must confess, gentlemen. I’ve always held a sneaking admiration for this one.
KIRK: He was the best of the tyrants and the most dangerous. They were supermen, in a sense. Stronger, braver, certainly more ambitious, more daring.
SPOCK: Gentlemen, this romanticism about a ruthless dictator is
KIRK: Mister Spock, we humans have a streak of barbarism in us. Appalling, but there, nevertheless.
SCOTT: There were no massacres under his rule.
SPOCK: And as little freedom.
MCCOY: No wars until he was attacked.
SPOCK: Gentlemen.
KIRK: Mister Spock, you misunderstand us. We can be against him and admire him all at the same time.
SPOCK: Illogical.
KIRK: Totally.

SPOCK: Surprised to see you, Captain, though pleased.
KIRK: I’m a little pleased myself. Situation?

SCOTT: It’s a shame for a good Scotsman to admit it, but I’m not up on Milton.
KIRK: The statement Lucifer made when he fell into the pit. ‘It is better to rule in hell than serve in heaven.’
SPOCK: It would be interesting, Captain, to return to that world in a hundred years and to learn what crop has sprung from the seed you planted today.
KIRK: Yes, Mister Spock, it would indeed.

“A Taste of Armageddon”

SPOCK: Computers, Captain. They fight their war with computers. Totally.
ANAN: Yes, of course.
KIRK: Computer don’t kill a half million people.
ANAN: Deaths have been registered. Of course they have twenty four hours to report.
KIRK: To report?
ANAN: To our disintegration machines. You must understand, Captain, we have been at war for five hundred years. Under ordinary conditions, no civilization could withstand that. But we have reached a solution.
SPOCK: Then the attack by Vendikar was theoretical.
ANAN: Oh, no, quite real. An attack is mathematically launched. I lost my wife in the last attack. Our civilization lives. The people die, but our culture goes on.
KIRK: You mean to tell me your people just walk into a disintegration machine when they’re told to?
ANAN: We have a high consciousness of duty, Captain.
SPOCK: There is a certain scientific logic about it.
ANAN: I’m glad you approve.
SPOCK: I do not approve. I understand.

SCOTT: Aye, aye, Captain. We’ll start forming shore parties immediately. Scott out. Well now, what do you think of that?
MCCOY: I don’t know.
SCOTT: Well, I do. Computer, last message received and recorded from Captain Kirk.
COMPUTER: In place.
SCOTT: Run it through analyzer. Question. Is it or is it not the Captain’s voice?
COMPUTER: Negative. A close copy.
SCOTT: A voice duplicator?
COMPUTER: Ninety eight percent probability.
SCOTT: Well, they’ve got them, Doctor, and now they’re trying to get us.

SPOCK: Sir, there’s a multi-legged creature crawling on your shoulder.
(He neck-pinches him, as the rest just stare.

MCCOY: They’re holding our Captain.
FOX: We have no proof of that.
SCOTT: I’m responsible for the safety of this ship.
FOX: And I’m responsible for the success of this mission, and that’s more important than this ship. Is that clear? We came here to establish diplomatic relations with these people.
SCOTT: But they’re the ones who’re looking for a fight, Mister Fox.
FOX: This is a diplomatic matter. If you check your regulations, you’ll find that my orders get priority. I’ll try to make contact with the planetary officials. Lieutenant, open up a channel and keep it open. Tell them to expect a priority one message from me. There will be no punitive measures, gentlemen. Those are my orders.
SCOTT: Diplomats. The best diplomat I know is a fully activated phaser bank.

MCCOY: Well, Scotty, now you’ve done it.
SCOTT: Aye. The haggis is in the fire for sure, but I’ll not lower my defenses on the word of that mealy-mouthed gentleman down below. Not until I know what happened to the Captain.

SPOCK: The Captain is overdue. We’ve suffered no casualties among us. This is important. Under no circumstances shall any one beam down from the Enterprise. They’d be killed the moment they arrived.
SCOTT: That ties it. That popinjay Fox went down a couple minutes ago.
SPOCK: The Ambassador?
SCOTT: I knew it had a rotten ring to it.

SPOCK: Please, Mister Fox. Ladies and gentlemen, please move quickly away from the chamber or you may be injured.
FOX: What are you doing, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Practicing a peculiar variety of diplomacy, sir.
(He uses the disrupter to destroy the disintegration chamber)

SPOCK: I had assumed you needed help. I see I’m in error.
KIRK: No. I need the help. In there, Mister Spock.

SCOTT: Aye, aye, Captain. Is there anything else we can do?
KIRK: Cross your fingers.

MCCOY: But you didn’t know that it would work.
KIRK: No. It was a calculated risk. Still, the Eminians keep a very orderly society, and actual war is a very messy business. A very, very messy business. I had a feeling that they would do anything to avoid it, even talk peace.
SPOCK: A feeling is not much to go on.
KIRK: Sometimes a feeling, Mister Spock, is all we humans have to go on.
SPOCK: Captain, you almost make me believe in luck.
KIRK: Why, Mister Spock, you almost make me believe in miracles.

“This Side of Paradise”

MCCOY: On pure speculation, just an educated guess, I’d say that man is alive.

SPOCK: Captain, this planet is being bombarded by Berthold rays, as our reports indicated. At this intensity, we’ll be safe for a week if necessary. But–
KIRK: But these people shouldn’t be alive.
SULU: Is it possible that they’re not?
MCCOY: You shook hands with him, Jim. His flesh was warm. He’s alive. There’s no doubt about that.
SPOCK: There’s also no question of the fact that Berthold rays are incontrovertibly deadly. There’s no miracle connected with it, Doctor, you know that. No cures, no serums, no antidotes. If a man is exposed long enough, he dies.
KIRK: Gentlemen, we’re debating in a vacuum. Let’s go get some answers.

KELOWITZ: What exactly are we looking for anyway, sir?
SULU: Whatever doesn’t look right, whatever that is. When it comes to farms, I wouldn’t know what looked right or wrong if it were two feet from me.
KELOWITZ: (opening up the barn door) Hey.
SULU: What is it?
KELOWITZ: No cows. This barn isn’t even built for them, Just for storage.
SULU: Come to think of it, we haven’t seen any animals. No horses, no pigs, not even a dog. Nothing.

LEILA: That can be explained.
SPOCK: Please do.
LEILA: Later.
SPOCK: I have never understood the female capacity to avoid a direct answer to any question.

LEILA: If I tell you how we survived, will you try to understand how we feel about our life here? About each other?
SPOCK: Emotions are alien to me. I’m a scientist.
LEILA: Someone else might believe that. Your shipmates, your Captain, but not me. Come.

SPOCK: You’ve not yet explained the nature of this thing.
LEILA: Its basic properties and elements are not important. What is important is it gives life, peace, love.
SPOCK: What you’re describing was once known in the vernacular as a happiness pill. And you, as a scientist, should know that that’s not possible.

KIRK: Excuse me. My orders are to remove all the colonists. That’s exactly what I intend to do, with or without your help.
ELIAS; Without, I should think.
MCCOY: Would you like to use a butterfly net on him, Captain?

KIRK: Spock!
SPOCK: Yes, what did you want?
KIRK: Spock, is that you?
SPOCK: Yes, Captain. What did you want?
KIRK: Where are you?
SPOCK: I don’t believe I want to tell you.

MCCOY: That didn’t sound at all like Spock, Jim.
KIRK: No. I thought you said you might like him if he mellowed a little.
MCCOY: I didn’t say that.
KIRK: You said that.
MCCOY: Not exactly.

KIRK: Mister Spock. Are you out of your mind? You were told to report to me at once.
SPOCK: I didn’t want to, Jim.
KIRK: You…? Yes, I can see that.

MCCOY: Ready to beam up. Hiya, Jimmy boy! Hey, I’ve taken care of everything. All y’all gotta do is relax. Doctor’s orders.
KIRK: How many of those did you beam up?
MCCOY: Oh, must be nigh onto a hundred by now.
CHIEF: Hey, Doc, I’m ready to energize. Everything okay with those plants?
KIRK: This is the Captain. Beam me up.
CHIEF: Well, sure, if you want.
KIRK: I most certainly do.

KIRK: Get back to your stations. Get back to your stations.
LESLIE: I’m sorry, sir. We’re all transporting down to join the colony.
KIRK: I said get back to your station.
LESLIE: No, sir.
KIRK: This is mutiny, mister.
LESLIE: Yes, sir. It is.

MCCOY: I’m not interested in any physical-psychological aspects, Jim boy. We all perfectly healthy down here.
KIRK: I’ve heard that word a lot lately. Perfect. Everything’s perfect.
MCCOY [OC]: Yeah. That’s right. That’s just what it is.
KIRK: I’ll bet you’ve even grown your tonsils back.
MCCOY: Sho’nuf. Hey, Jim boy, y’all ever have a real cold Georgia-style mint julep, huh?
KIRK: Look, Bones, I need your help. Can you run tests, blood samples, anything at all to give us a lead on what these things are, how to counteract them?
MCCOY: Who wants to counteract paradise, Jim boy?

KIRK: Where’s McCoy?
SPOCK: He went off to create something called a mint julep. That’s a drink, Jim.

KIRK: All right, you mutinous, disloyal, computerized, half-breed, we’ll see about you deserting my ship.
SPOCK: The term half-breed is somewhat applicable, but computerized is inaccurate. A machine can be computerized, not a man.
KIRK: What makes you think you’re a man? You’re an overgrown jackrabbit, an elf with a hyperactive thyroid.
SPOCK: Jim, I don’t understand.
KIRK: Of course you don’t understand. You don’t have the brains to understand. All you have is printed circuits.
SPOCK: Captain, if you’ll excuse me.
KIRK: What can you expect from a simpering, devil-eared freak whose father was a computer and his mother an encyclopedia?
SPOCK: My mother was a teacher. My father an ambassador.
KIRK: Your father was a computer, like his son. An ambassador from a planet of traitors. A Vulcan never lived who had an ounce of integrity.
SPOCK: Captain, please don’t
KIRK: You’re a traitor from a race of traitors. Disloyal to the core, rotten like the rest of your subhuman race, and you’ve got the gall to make love to that girl.
SPOCK: That’s enough.
KIRK: Does she know what she’s getting, Spock? A carcass full of memory banks who should be squatting in a mushroom, instead of passing himself off as a man? You belong in a circus, Spock, not a starship. Right next to the dog-faced boy.

KIRK: Good. Let’s get to work.
SPOCK: Captain. Striking a fellow officer is a court martial offense.
KIRK: Well, if we’re both in the Brig, who’s going to build the subsonic transmitter?
SPOCK: That is quite logical, Captain.

ELIAS: Well, Doctor, I’ve been thinking about what sort of work I could assign you to.
MCCOY: What do you mean, what sort of work? I’m a doctor.
ELIAS: Not any more, of course. We don’t need you. Not as a doctor.
MCCOY: Oh, no? Would you like to see how fast I can put you in a hospital?
ELIAS: I am the leader of this colony. I’ll assign you whatever work I think suitable.
MCCOY: Just a minute. You’d better make me a mechanic. Then I can treat little tin gods like you.

MCCOY: Well, that’s the second time man’s been thrown out of paradise.
KIRK: No, no, Bones. This time we walked out on our own. Maybe we weren’t meant for paradise. Maybe we were meant to fight our way through. Struggle, claw our way up, scratch for every inch of the way. Maybe we can’t stroll to the music of the lute. We must march to the sound of drums.
SPOCK: Poetry, Captain. Non-regulation.
KIRK: We haven’t heard much from you about Omicron Ceti Three, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: I have little to say about it, Captain, except that for the first time in my life I was happy.

“The Devil in the Dark”

VANDERBERG: This is Ed Appel, chief processing engineer.
KIRK: Describe it.
APPEL: I can’t. I only got a glimpse of it, but it’s big and shaggy.
VANDERBERG: Ed shot it.
SPOCK: Oh. You mean shot at it.
APPEL: No. I mean shot it. With this. (a hand phaser)
SPOCK: Fascinating.
APPEL: A good, clean shot. Didn’t even slow it down. Well, I’ve made my report to you. Production has stopped, nobody will go into the lower levels, and I don’t blame them. If the Federation wants pergium, then you’re going to have to do something about it.
KIRK: That’s why we’re here, Mister Vanderberg.
APPEL: You’re all pretty tough, aren’t you? Starship, phaser banks. You can’t get your starship down in the tunnels.

SPOCK: (examining a large globe from Vanderberg’s desk) Mister Vanderberg, what is this?
VANDERBERG: It’s a silicon nodule. There are a millions of them are down there. No commercial value.
SPOCK: But a geological oddity, to say the least. Pure silicon?
VANDERBERG: A few trace elements. Look, we didn’t call you here so you could collect rocks.

VANDERBERG: Without the pump mechanism, the reactor will go supercritical. It could poison half the planet. We can’t shut it down. It provides heat and air and life support for the whole colony.
KIRK: Mister Spock, we seem to have been given a choice. Death by asphyxiation or death by radiation poisoning.

SPOCK: Life as we know it is universally based on some combination of carbon compounds, but what if life exists based on another element? For instance, silicon.
MCCOY: You’re creating fantasies, Mister Spock.

MCCOY: Silicon-based life is physiologically impossible, especially in an oxygen atmosphere.
SPOCK: It may be, Doctor, that the creature can exist for brief periods in such an atmosphere before returning to its own environment.
MCCOY: I still think you’re imagining things.
KIRK: You may be right, Doctor, but at least it’s something to go on. Mister Spock, have Lieutenant Commander Giotto assemble the security troops and arm them with phaser number two. You make the proper adjustments. You seem fascinated by this rock.
SPOCK: Yes, Captain. You recall that Vanderberg commented there were thousands of these at a lower level, the level which the machinery opened just prior to the first appearance of the creature.
KIRK: Do they tie in?
SPOCK: I don’t know.
KIRK: Speculate.
SPOCK: I have already given Doctor McCoy sufficient cause for amusement. I’d prefer to cogitate the possibilities for a time.

KIRK: I’ll be right there. Kirk out. Scotty, ride herd on it. Kind words. Tender, loving care. Kiss it. Baby it. Flatter it if you have to, but keep it going.
SCOTT: I’ll do what I can, sir.

SPOCK: This tunnel. My readings indicate it was made within the hour. Moments ago, in fact.
KIRK: Are you certain?
SPOCK: Positive.
KIRK: This tunnel goes back as far as the eye can see. Our best machinery couldn’t cut a tunnel like this, not even with phasers.
SPOCK: Indeed, Captain. I’m quite at a loss.

KIRK: One creature in a hundred miles?
SPOCK: Exactly. Captain, there are literally thousands of these tunnels in this general area alone, far too many to be cut by the one creature in an ordinary lifetime.
KIRK: Then we’re dealing with more than one creature, despite your tricorder readings, or we have a creature with an extremely long life span.
SPOCK: Or it is the last of a race of creatures which made these tunnels. If so, if it is the only survivor of a dead race, to kill it would be a crime against science.
KIRK: Mister Spock, our mission is to protect this colony, to get the pergium moving again. This is not a zoological expedition. Maintain a constant reading on the creature. If we have to, we’ll use phasers to cut our own tunnels. We’ll try to surround it. I’m sorry, Mister Spock, but I’m afraid the creature must die.
SPOCK: I see no alternative myself, Captain. It merely seems a pity.

KIRK: Mister Spock, you are second in command. This will be a dangerous hunt. Either one of us by himself is expendable. Both of us are not.
SPOCK: Captain, there are approximately one hundred of us engaged in this search, against one creature. The odds against you and I both being killed are 2,228.7 to 1.
KIRK: 2,228.7 to 1? Those are pretty good odds, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: And they are of course accurate, Captain.
KIRK: Of course. Well, I hate to use the word, but logically, with those kind of odds, you might as well stay. But please stay out of trouble, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: That is always my intention, Captain.

SPOCK: Captain, I just read some fresh signs.
SPOCK: The creature is in this area. I’ll take a lifeform reading.
KIRK: It’s not necessary, Mister Spock. I know exactly where the creature is.
SPOCK: Where, Captain?
KIRK: Ten feet away from me.
SPOCK: Kill it, Captain, quickly.
KIRK: It’s not making any threatening moves, Spock.
SPOCK: You don’t dare take the chance, Captain. Kill it.
KIRK: I thought you were the one who wanted it kept alive, captured if possible.

SPOCK: Jim, I remind you that this is a silicon-based form of life. Doctor McCoy’s medical knowledge will be totally useless.
KIRK: He’s a healer, let him heal.

KIRK: It’s wounded. Badly. You’ve got to help it.
MCCOY: Help that?
KIRK: Go take a look.
SPOCK: The end of life. Murderers.
MCCOY: You can’t be serious. That thing is virtually made out of stone!
KIRK: Help it. Treat it.
MCCOY: I’m a doctor, not a bricklayer.

SPOCK: Except for one thing. The Horta is badly wounded. It may die.
MCCOY: It won’t die. By golly, Jim, I’m beginning to think I can cure a rainy day.
KIRK: Can you help it?
MCCOY: Help it? I cured it.

KIRK: Well, Spock, I’m going to have to ask you to get in touch with the Horta again. Tell her our proposition. She and her children can do all the tunneling they want. Our people will remove the minerals, and each side will leave the other alone. Think she’ll go for it?
SPOCK: It seems logical, Captain. The Horta has a very logical mind. And after close association with humans, I find that curiously refreshing.

SPOCK: Curious. What Chief Vanderberg said about the Horta is exactly what the Mother Horta said to me. She found humanoid appearance revolting, but she thought she could get used to it.
MCCOY: Oh, she did, did she? Now tell me, did she happen to make any comment about those ears?
SPOCK: Not specifically, but I did get the distinct impression she found them the most attractive human characteristic of all. I didn’t have the heart to tell her that only I have–
KIRK: She really liked those ears?
SPOCK: Captain, the Horta is a remarkably intelligent and sensitive creature, with impeccable taste.
KIRK: Because she approved of you?
SPOCK: Really, Captain, my modesty–
KIRK: Does not bear close examination, Mister Spock. I suspect you’re becoming more and more human all the time.
SPOCK: Captain, I see no reason to stand here and be insulted.

“Errand of Mercy”

SPOCK: Minor, Captain. We were most fortunate. Blast damage in decks ten and eleven, minor buckling in the antimatter pods, casualties very light.
KIRK: Maintain surveillance, Mister Sulu.
SULU: No contact, Captain. He blew up all right.
KIRK: Well, we’ve been anticipating an attack. I’d say what we’ve just experienced very nearly qualifies.
SPOCK: Yes. It would seem to be an unfriendly act.
UHURA: Automatic all-points relay from Starfleet Command, Captain, code one.
KIRK: Well, there it is. War. We didn’t want it, but we’ve got it.
SPOCK: Curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want.

KIRK: So we’re stranded here, in the middle of a Klingon occupation army.
SPOCK: So it would seem. Not a very pleasant prospect.
KIRK: You have a gift for understatement, Mister Spock. It’s not a very pleasant prospect at all.

KIRK: I have a tongue.
KOR: Good. You will be taught how to use it. Where is your smile?
KIRK: My what?
KOR: The stupid, idiotic smile everyone else seems to be wearing. A Vulcan. Do you also have a tongue?
SPOCK: I am Spock, a dealer in kevas and trillium.
KOS: You do not look like a storekeeper. Take this man. Vulcans are members of the Federation. He may be a spy.
KIRK: He’s no spy.
KOR: Well, have we a ram among the sheep? Do you object to us taking him?
KIRK: He’s done nothing. Nothing at all.
KOR: Coming from an Organian, yours is practically an act of rebellion. Very good. (to the Council) So you welcome me. (to Kirk) Do you also welcome me?
KIRK: You’re here. There’s nothing I can do about it.
KOR: Good honest hatred. Very refreshing.

SPOCK: Captain, I strongly suggest we direct our energies toward the immediate problem. Accomplishing our mission here.
KIRK: You didn’t really think I was going to beat his head in, did you?
SPOCK: I thought you might.
KIRK: You’re right.

KIRK: It’s a very large universe, Commander, full of people who don’t like the Klingons.
KOR: Excellent. Then it shall be a matter of testing each other’s wills. Of power. Survival must be earned, Captain. Tell me about the dispersal of your Starfleet.
KIRK: Go climb a tree.

KIRK: Well, what are the odds now?
SPOCK: Less than seven thousand to one, Captain. It’s remarkable we’ve got this far.
KIRK: Less than seven thousand to one. Well, getting better. Getting better.

KIRK: Even if you have some power that we don’t understand, you have no right to dictate to our Federation
KOR: Or our Empire!
KIRK: How to handle their interstellar relations! We have the right–
AYELBORNE: To wage war, Captain? To kill millions of innocent people? To destroy life on a planetary scale? Is that what you’re defending?
KIRK: Well, no one wants war. But there are proper channels. People have a right to handle their own affairs. Eventually, we will have–
AYELBORNE: Oh, eventually you will have peace, but only after millions of people have died. It is true that in the future, you and the Klingons will become fast friends. You will work together.
KOR: Never!

KIRK: Well, Commander, I guess that takes care of the war. Obviously, the Organians aren’t going to let us fight.
KOR: A shame, Captain. It would have been glorious.

SPOCK: You’ve been most restrained since we left Organia.
KIRK: I’m embarrassed. I was furious with the Organians for stopping a war I didn’t want. We think of ourselves as the most powerful beings in the universe. It’s unsettling to discover that we’re wrong.
SPOCK: Captain, it took millions of years for the Organians to evolve into what they are. Even the gods did not spring into being overnight. You and I have no reason to be embarrassed. We did, after all, beat the odds.
KIRK: Oh, no, no, no, Mister Spock, We didn’t beat the odds. We didn’t have a chance. The Organians raided the game.

“The Alternative Factor”

KIRK: What was that?
SPOCK: What my instruments read is totally unbelievable, Captain. Twice, for a split second each time, everything within range of our instruments seemed on the verge of winking out.
KIRK: I want facts, not poetry.
SPOCK: I have given you the facts, Captain. The entire magnetic field in this solar system simply blinked. The planet below, the mass of which we’re measuring, attained zero gravity.
KIRK: That’s impossible. What you’re describing–
SPOCK: Is non-existence.

KIRK: Well, what is it, this object? Its physical makeup?
SPOCK: A living being. Body temperature 98.5 Fahrenheit. Mass, electrical impulses, movement. It is apparently human, Captain.
KIRK: And its appearance coincided with this cosmic winking-out?
SPOCK; Almost to the second.
KIRK: Explanation.
SPOCK: None.
KIRK: Speculation. Could this being present any danger to the ship?
SPOCK: Possible. Very possible

MASTERS: Whatever that phenomenon was, it drained almost all of our crystals completely. It could mean trouble.
KIRK: You have a talent for understatement, Lieutenant. Without full crystal power, our orbit will begin to decay in ten hours. Re-amplify immediately.

BARSTOW: I’m evacuating all Starfleet units and personnel within a hundred parsecs of your position. It’s going to be tough on you and the Enterprise, but that’s the job you’ve drawn. You’re on your own.
KIRK: I see. You mean, we’re the bait.

LAZARUS: I told you it was a thing. All white, black and empty. A terrible emptiness.
KIRK: Let’s get back to the ship.
LAZARUS: He’ll kill us all if we don’t kill him first! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!

MCCOY: Well, say he’s got the constitution of a dinosaur, recuperative powers ditto. As we both know, I’m a bright young medic with a miraculous touch. Why then, when I returned, there wasn’t a trace of that wound on his forehead. Not even a bruise. It was like he had never been injured.
KIRK: Where is he?
MCCOY: I don’t know, Jim. This is a big ship. I’m just a country doctor.

LAZARUS: Is something wrong?
KIRK: No. I have a ship’s physician with a strange sense of humor.
MCCOY: This is no joke, Jim. I know what I saw.

KIRK: Take a look at Lazarus. One minute he’s at the point of death, the next he’s alive, well, strong as a bull.
SPOCK: The cut on his forehead. First he has it, then it’s gone, then he has it again.
KIRK: Which is physically impossible for one man.
SPOCK: Quite right. Unquestionably, there are two of him.

KIRK: What’s going on? This leaping from universe to universe. This wild talk about a murdering creature who destroys civilizations What’s the purpose?
SPOCK: Jim, madness has no purpose or reason, but it may have a goal. He must be stopped, held. Destroyed if necessary.
KIRK: I don’t follow you.
SPOCK: Two parallel universes project this. One positive, the other negative. Or, more specifically, one matter, the other antimatter.
KIRK: Do you know what you’re saying? Matter and antimatter have a tendency to cancel each other out. violently.
SPOCK: Precisely. Under certain conditions, when two identical particles of matter and antimatter meet
KIRK: Like Lazarus. Identical. Like both Lazarus’, only one is matter and the other antimatter. If they meet.
SPOCK: Annihilation, Jim. Total, complete, absolute annihilation.
KIRK: Of everything that exists, everywhere.

KIRK: Surely Lazarus must realize what would happen if you should meet face to face outside the corridor.
LAZARUS: Of course he knows, Captain, but he’s mad. You heard him. He’s lost his mind. When our people found a way to slip through the warp and prove another universe, an identical one, existed, it was too much for him. He could not live knowing that I lived. He became obsessed with the idea of destroying me. The fact that it meant his own destruction, and everything else, meant nothing to him.
KIRK: So you’re the terrible thing, the murdering monster. The creature.
LAZARUS: Yes, Captain. Or he is. It depends on your point of view, doesn’t it?

“The City on the Edge of Forever”

KIRK: Tricky stuff. Are you sure you want to risk–
(The hypo is administered and Sulu opens his eyes.)
MCCOY: You were about to make a medical comment, Jim?
KIRK: Who, me, Doctor?

KIRK: Communications, emergency medical team.
MCCOY: (screams) Killers! Assassins! I won’t let you! I’ll kill you first! I won’t let you! You won’t get me! Murderers! Killers!

KIRK: What is this thing, Mister Spock? It seems to be pulsating with power of some kind. Analysis, please.
SPOCK: Unbelievable, Captain.
KIRK: That’s funny.

GUARDIAN: I am the Guardian of Forever.
KIRK: Are you machine or being?
GUARDIAN: I am both and neither. I am my own beginning, my own ending.
SPOCK: I see no reason for answers to be couched in riddles.

SPOCK: A time portal, Captain. A gateway to other times and dimensions, if I’m correct.
GUARDIAN: As correct as possible for you. Your science knowledge is obviously primitive.
SPOCK: Really.
KIRK: Annoyed, Spock?

SPOCK: Theft, Captain?
KIRK: Well, we’ll steal from the rich and give back to the poor later. I think I’m going to like this century. Simple, easier to manage. We’re not going to have any difficulty explaining–
POLICEMAN: Well?
KIRK: You’re a police officer. I recognize the traditional accoutrements.
SPOCK: You were saying you’ll have no trouble explaining it.
KIRK: My friend is obviously Chinese. I see you’ve noticed the ears. They’re actually easy to explain.
SPOCK: Perhaps the unfortunate accident I had as a child.
KIRK: The unfortunate accident he had as a child. He caught his head in a mechanical rice picker. But fortunately, there was an American missionary living close by who was actually a skilled plastic surgeon in civilian life.
POLICEMAN: All right, all right. Drop those bundles and put your hands on that wall there! Come on!
KIRK: Oh, how careless of your wife to let you go out that way.
POLICEMAN: What? Where?
SPOCK: Oh, yes, it’s quite untidy. Here, let me help you.

KIRK: You were actually enjoying my predicament back there. At times, you seem quite human.
SPOCK: Captain, I hardly believe that insults are within your prerogative as my commanding officer.

KIRK: Couldn’t you build some form of computer aid here?
SPOCK: In this zinc-plated vacuum-tubed culture?
KIRK: Yes, well, it would pose an extremely complex problem in logic, Mister Spock. Excuse me. I sometimes expect too much of you.

KIRK: Excuse us, miss. We didn’t mean to trespass. It’s cold outside.
EDITH: A lie is a poor way to say hello. It isn’t that cold.
KIRK: No. We were being chased by a policeman.
EDITH: Why?
KIRK: These clothes. We stole them. We didn’t have any money.

KIRK: Radio tubes and so on. I approve of hobbies, Mister Spock.

MAN: You’ll be sorry.
KIRK: Why?
MAN: You expect to eat for free or something? You got to listen to Goody Two-shoes.
EDITH: Now, as I’m sure somebody out there has said, it’s time to pay for the soup.
MAN: Not that she’s a bad-looking broad, but if she really wanted to help out a fella in need–
KIRK: Shut up. Shut up. I want to hear what she has to say.

KIRK: Development of atomic power is years away, and space flight years after that.
SPOCK: Speculation. Gifted insight.
KIRK: I find her most uncommon, Mister Spock.

KIRK: We have a flop.
SPOCK: We have a what, Captain?
KIRK: A place to sleep.
SPOCK: One might have said so in the first place.

SPOCK: Captain, I must have some platinum. A small block would be sufficient, five or six pounds. By passing certain circuits through there to be used as a duodynetic field core…
KIRK: Mister Spock, I’ve brought you some assorted vegetables, baloney in a hard roll for myself, and I’ve spent the other nine tenths of our combined salaries for the last three days on filling this order for you. Mister Spock, this bag does not contain platinum, silver or gold, nor is it likely to in the near future.
SPOCK: Captain, you’re asking me to work with equipment which hardly very far ahead of stone knives and bearskins.

EDITH: What? What on Earth is that?
SPOCK: I am endeavoring, ma’am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins.

KIRK: Spock, I believe I’m in love with Edith Keeler.
SPOCK: Jim, Edith Keeler must die.

MCCOY: The most common question to ask would be, where am I? I don’t think I’ll ask it.
EDITH: Why not?
MCCOY: The only possible answer would conclusively prove that I’m either unconscious or demented. This looks like old Earth around 1920 or 25.
EDITH: Would you care to try for 30?
MCCOY: I am unconscious, or demented.

MCCOY: I’m a surgeon, not a psychiatrist. I am Leonard McCoy, Senior Medical Officer aboard the USS Enterprise.
EDITH: I don’t mean to disbelieve you, but that’s hardly a Navy uniform.
MCCOY: It’s quite all right. It’s quite all right dear, because I don’t believe in you, either.

KIRK: Edith.
EDITH: Are you following me, sir?
KIRK: With ulterior motives. Does that please you?

MCCOY: You deliberately stopped me, Jim. I could have saved her. Do you know what you just did?
SPOCK: He knows, Doctor. He knows.

UHURA: Captain, the Enterprise is up there. They’re asking if we want to beam up.
KIRK: Let’s get the hell out of here.

“Operation: Annihilate! ”

MCCOY: Jim, did you know who that woman was?
KIRK: Yes. You were right a while back. My brother Sam lives on Deneva. He’s a research biologist. That woman sounded like his wife Aurelan.

KIRK: Did you hear what they said, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Indeed. They seemed most concerned for our safety.
KIRK: They tried to brain us with these clubs. Check them out, Bones.
SPOCK: Their attitude was inconsistent with their actions.
KIRK: To say the least.

SPOCK: These restraints will no longer be necessary. Nor will your sedatives, Doctor. I’ll be able to return to duty. I apologize for my weakness earlier when I tried to take control of the ship. I simply did not understand.
What is there to understand, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: I am a Vulcan, Doctor. Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled.
KIRK: You’re only half-Vulcan. What about the human half of you?
SPOCK: It is proving to be an inconvenience, but it is manageable. And the creature, with all of its thousands of parts, even now is pressuring me. (the pain indicator hits the top of the monitor) It wants this ship, but I am resisting.

MCCOY: Jim, that man is sick. Don’t give me any damnable logic about him being the only man for the job.
KIRK: I don’t have to, Bones. We both know he is.

SPOCK: I regret I see no other choice for you, Captain. We already know this thing has destroyed three civilizations. Perhaps more.
MCCOY: Gentlemen, I want it stopped, too, but not at the cost of destroying over a million people.
SPOCK: Including myself, Doctor, and Captain Kirk’s young nephew. Understandably upsetting, but once it spreads past here, there are dozens of colonies beyond and billions of people.
MCCOY: If killing five people saves ten, it’s a bargain. Is that your simple logic, Mister Spock?

SPOCK: Captain, you’ll need a host for the next step in the test to determine whether the creature can be driven from the body. I am the logical choice.
MCCOY: Do you know what one million candlelight per square inch can do to your optic nerves?
KIRK: There’s no other way, Bones. We have to duplicate the brilliance that existed at the moment the Denevan declared himself freed.

MCCOY: Oh, no.
KIRK: What is it?
MCCOY: I threw the total spectrum of light at the creature. It wasn’t necessary. I didn’t stop to think that only one kind of light might’ve killed it.
SPOCK: Interesting. Just as dogs are sensitive to certain sounds which humans cannot hear, these creatures evidently are sensitive to light which we cannot see.
KIRK: Are you telling me that Spock need not have been blinded?
MCCOY: I didn’t need to throw the blinding white light at all, Jim. Spock, I–
SPOCK: Doctor it was my selection as well. It is done.

KIRK: Spock. You can see.
MCCOY: The blindness was temporary, Jim. There’s something about his optical nerves which aren’t the same as a human’s.
SPOCK: An hereditary trait, Captain. The brightness of the Vulcan sun has caused the development of an inner eyelid, which acts as a shield against high-intensity light. Totally instinctive, Doctor. We tend to ignore it, as you ignore your own appendix.
KIRK: Mister Spock. Regaining eyesight would be an emotional experience for most. You, I presume, felt nothing?
SPOCK: Quite the contrary, Captain. I had a very strong reaction. My first sight was the face of Doctor McCoy bending over me.
MCCOY: ‘Tis a pity your brief blindness did not increase your appreciation for beauty, Mister Spock.

MCCOY: Unusual eye arrangement. I might’ve known he’d turn up with something like that.
KIRK: What’s that, Doctor?
MCCOY: I said, please don’t tell Spock I said he was the best first officer in the fleet.
SPOCK: Why, thank you, Doctor McCoy.
KIRK: You’ve been so concerned about his Vulcan eyes, Doctor, you forgot about his Vulcan ears.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey. Hey. Come on in. Beautiful. Oh, yes, it is. It’s a beautiful day. That too. You know, I have everything I want — a man that I love, I have a wedding on the horizon, and there is barely a cloud in the sky. I don’t see any clouds. Well, just one. Willow’s gonna be home soon. That’s a good thing. But without me. I think my bubble should include nina. Look, I-I know how you feel about her, but if I can only be with a few people each day until my immune system kicks in… yeah. You want your mom to be one of them. We’ve been given a miracle here. Shouldn’t we share it? Not only with the people who deserve it, like your mom, but also with the people who don’t, like mine. You’re not thinking of refinancing the house, are you? No. No. I don’t think I could afford the monthly payment. Besides, I don’t think the bank would refinance me. Okay, good. So we can take the idea of mortgage off the table? Absolutely. ‘Cause I’m selling the house. I appreciate your punctuality. It’s the little things that engender trust. Well, I’m glad you find me trustworthy, but I was on my way to meet a client when I got your urgent message. Have a seat. Thank you. Do you also meet with the quartermaine legal team poolside?

[ Chuckles ] No. They do not have the ability that you do to think outside the box.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you for the flattery, tracy, but it’s absolutely unnecessary. Just tell me what you would like. I’d like to hire you. Hang on. Stop the presses. Did you just say you consider me a friend? Aw, you’re so lucky to have a friend like mac, cody. It’s a wicked world out there. Y-you can easily make the wrong choices, you know?

[ Sighs ] Hey! Is it true? It’s what true? That cody’s been cleared. Olivia texted me the good news. The charges have been dropped. Wow. That is so awesome. You must be absolutely thrilled.

[ Laughs ] I wouldn’t go that far. Okay, listen to me. You are entitled to feel happy for your friend, okay? And we’re gonna celebrate that, all the good news, as soon as we take care of business. Oh, where is maxie?!


[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s a very impressive opening offer, tracy, uh, but I should tell you, I already have all the clients I can handle. Ah, yes, I’m sure a client with the career of sonny corinthos does keep you busy, not to mention carly and all her current legal woes. But I have a feeling that once you hear what I have to say, you’re gonna want to fire all your clients and represent me exclusively.

[ Laughs ] Well, you will notice I have neither accepted your check, nor have I pushed it back across the table. So please continue. I’d like to report a robbery. That’s a matter for the police. I’m not talking about a car or a computer. What I’m talking about is worth a king’s ransom, or if you prefer, a queen. And this queen would like the thieves to pay dearly for what they stole. Well, I’m intrigued. So what was it exactly that was stolen? The deceptor? I don’t get it. Why is this meeting so hush-hush? Are we introducing a new product that’s gonna be bigger and better than the deceptor? Um, actually, you will know soon enough. Um, hey, uh, the twittersphere didn’t have a lot of detail. What happened? How did — how did cody skate on those charges? Yeah, was cody telling the truth? Did gladys really plant that bracelet in his jacket pocket? No. Turns out that the bracelet was just misplaced, and gladys made an honest mistake in blaming cody. Huh. So you and gladys are on good terms, then? Never better. What about you and cody? Dante, dante, dante. You and your wicked world. When we were kids in summer camp, dante was always full of these, uh, stories, urban legends, tall tales of these, uh, these mysterious creatures that were half man, half monster, that’d stalk the forests and eat lost campers. Or so he claimed. Uh, they’re real. They’re real. They look like scott baldwin.

[ Cellphone rings ] -Oh, excuse me. -Ah. Hey, maxie, what’s up? Mac. Is my mom with you? Uh, georgie and bailey lou are with liesl, but I am late for a meeting, and I have no one to watch james. Grandpa, I need my own bedroom. Sounds like you need an entire swat team. No worries. I’m on my way. Problems? Big trouble — the kind that every kid can get into, like every parent knows. Congratulations again on getting those charges dropped. I just hope you can take advantage of it. Martin, did you take my advice about lucy? Oh, yo u mean about, uh,not keeping things from her? Yes. Thank you. Uh, the advice was taken. Glad to hear it. Well, have a nice day. Nice suit. Now that sonny is planning on marrying nina, we can’t keep wishing that she’s going to disappear from our lives. Like it or not, sonny and nina are part of the family. Y-you’ve still backed off on your vow to take down your dad, right?

[ Sighs ] I still haven’t forgiven or forgotten what he did to my mom and our family. But, no, I’m not — I’m not wasting any more time on a vendetta to try and make him pay for the pain that he caused. I’m proud of you for that. But I also just — I don’t want to waste any more time, either. You know, I’ve missed so much already. When I… almost… hey, no. But you didn’T. Okay? You came back to us. Nina is part of us, michael. She’s part of me, whether I like it or not. Look, I don’t expect you to forget or forgive her, but for me… I spent all of those years trying to build a relationship with harmony, despite her many flaws, because I believed she was my mother. Well, nina is my biological mother. Shouldn’t I give her the same consideration? I want to get to know the mother I never had… …and let her get to know me. Yo u know, I can go to ghand speak to willow. Now that she’s had that, you know — this life-changing experience, maybe she could see things different. Thank you. But, no, you can’t do that. That’s exactly what michael said that he didn’t want you to do. And I’m not gonna put you in that position, honey, to — to act as a go-between, plead with willow. If it came from willow herself, that’s one thing. But we both know that she will never give me a chance. Never say never. You thought you lost her before. You found her. And then, again, you thought you lost her to leukemia. That’s right. And what happened? So are you saying where there’s life, there’s hope? Well, sonny corinthos, I never took you as the greeting-card type. No, it’s not that. It’s — it’s — I’m a realist. I’ve seen the toughest guys just kind of melt over holding a baby in their arms. And I’ve also heard that there are women who are not even as big as willow pick up an suv with an injured child underneath. You know why? Because I believe in miracles. It was a miracle that I didn’t die in that river. And where did I end up? Nixon falls, where you showed up. Nixon falls. Well, you’re not only a realist, but you are also a romantic. And i love that about you. But we have to be honest. There are some people out there who think us finding each other wasn’t a miracle, but… …more like a catastrophe. You’re gonna sell the house? Carly, you can’t mean that. Well, I mean, it’s not like I want to, but come on, sam. At the end of the day, it’s just a real-estate transaction. This house is too big for me and donna, anyway. And josslyn — she’s gonna be going to pcu in the fall. Hell, she and trina are gonna move out of the dorms and into an off-campus apartment. This is perfect. Uh, sure, it may sound perfect, but you need to, please, think this through. Oh, come on. It’s not like I grew up in this house. I mean, far from it. And with the money we make off this sale, donna and I will be able to move into a condo off charles street and live off the rest. Okay. Yeah, sure, that — that makes a lot of sense. Except for one thing. What? You keep calling this a house. You’re wrong, carly. This is your home.


You know I am talking to you as your friend, right? So I-I’m just urging you to please consider the consequences of selling this house before you just minimize it down to a real-estate transaction. Okay, I don’t have the luxury of being sentimental. I mean, look at drew. He sacrificed himself for me — his freedom. I mean, sacrificing a house, or a home — I mean, it just seems so small in comparison, sam. Okay, well, speaking of drew, what do you think he would say, knowing what you’re planning on doing with the house? Well, he wouldn’t like it, but he doesn’t have to know. Right, sam? Please don’t tell him. Oh, no, of course I’m not gonna say anything to him. It’s not my place. He’s bound to find out. I know he’s gonna find out. But, you know, by then it’ll be too late. It’s my choice, right? I mean, it’s my decision. Yeah, of course it’s your choice. But… when you put that “for sale” sign out on the front yard, think about how donna’s gonna feel. She loves this house. I know. I know. I know she loves it. And I know she’s gonna miss it. But she’ll understand. Okay. She will. She will. Sure. But will you? Carly, when you and sonny got divorced, the only thing you held on to, the only thing you fought for, was this house. Are you really ready to just let it go? Look, we both know, uh, we can’t turn back the clock. We can’t undo the hurt we caused in the past. But you got to understand something. If it wasn’t for your aunt liesl, willow wouldn’t have had the bone marrow transplant. She — maybe she would have died. You did that for her. You gave her a gift — a gift of your family. And if michael and willow can’t acknowledge that… listen. Your family saved her life.

[ Cellphone rings ] Um… I was — I was just thinking about you. How’s the patient? Well, we, uh, just got the all-clear. Willow’s going home. You must be thrilled to be going home. I can’t thank you enough for all the care that you gave me. It’s all part of the job. No, I may not have worked here as a nurse for very long, but… you went way beyond the call of duty. You were the one who got me to see this… isn’t all about me. I assume you mean being reunited with your little ones? Yes, of course. But also someone else. I was right, wasn’t I? A girl needs her mom. Before willow leaves the hospital, there’s, uh, something that she needs. Of course. Just name it. She needs her mom. As you can see, the file contains a timeline detailing the development of the deceptor and the skyrocketing sales once it was released. Tracy, these documents look very confidential. How did you get them? Ah, home already. I take it you have something for me. Here. All the proprietary information on the deceptor, from the current sales report to the first communications about it last fall. Never mind how I got them. How did deception get them? And do not tell me that they sprang fully formed from lucy coe’s questionable brain. No, no, of course not. A product like this often has years of research and development, but — and yet — and yet, the timeline confirms they suddenly showed up in deception’s files as early as last autumn. Okay. Cards on the table, tracy. Are you saying that the deceptor is stolen intellectual property? I’m not saying it. You are. Yes, cody is my friend, and I am very glad that his name was cleared. Hmm. No thanks to gladys. Yeah. Gladys was pretty useless as my assistant, but she did seem pretty dedicated to nailing cody. Look, from gladys’ point of view, she was just looking out for me. The only crime she made was caring too much. I know you feel loyal to her, but you’re still gonna push for her to end this guardianship over you, right? Yes. I am more determined than ever. And thanks to the help of my psychiatrist, dr. Damon montague, I believe the court is ready to decide I am able to be on my own. In fact, I am gonna go celebrate my upcoming freedom with a latte from perks, if you ladies will excuse me. -Oh. -Oh. So, uh , what were youand scott talking about? Look, I bet you 10 to 1 the words “get rich quick” were involved. Scott and I have a connection, remember? Right. Dominique baldwin. Yeah. Not only was she my mom, but she was also the love of scott’s life at one time. Okay, so why does that connection mean so much to you when the other connection — mac being your dad — how come that doesn’t mean anything to you? How many times do I have to say it? Mac’s better off not knowing.

Mac’s better off? Yeah. Or you’re better off? ‘Cause it seems like whatever you and scott got cooking is on the wrong side of the law. And, look, I-I’m the law, right? I’m the law. And if you’re in over your head, like you kind of have been ever since you fell in that pool — just drop it, dante. Okay? Okay. All right. You want to talk to me? I know who you can talk to. Ah! Grandpa, can I live with you? I’m tired of being the only boy. James! Hey. Go to your meeting, maxie. I got this. Oh, mac. Are you sure? Go, mommy. We got this.

[ Laughing ] Okay. Oh, maxie, I am so sorry I am late. Tell it to the cops. Apparently, they got this.

[ Laughter ] Hey. What kept you? I took a job. What kind of job? The kind I know best. I am not only your grandma. I’m also felicia scorpio, private eye.


Grandma,what’s a private eye? It means that I solve mysteries, like your “hardy boys” books or your “scooby-doo” cartoons. You do what grandpa does? Yeah. Yeah, it’s very similar. Okay, james, now I’m gonna need your help. Can you find me one of your mommy’s old sheets? The rattier, the better. I know where to look. Oh, good job. Um, if this is about cody, you can stand down. The charges were dropped. Oh, that’s good news, mac. But my case has nothing to do with cody. I’m doing this for an old friend. Someone I know? Grandpa, that’s private. Remember? She’s a private eye. And “private” means you don’t talk about it. Yeah, grandpa. Okay, james, now that you are my official sidekick, I need you to spread the sheet out on the floor. And maybe grumpy grandpa will help you if it feels like it. Well, I don’t know how I feel about that title, but, okay, I’ll help.

[ Laughs ] Okay, private eye, here we go. And, uh, well… now what? Next we get to work, and we look for clues… …by sorting through garbage. Awesome.

[ Felicia laughs ] You want me to talk to mac scorpio? Geez, dante, talk about beating a dead horse. You know that he’s literally the last person I can talk to. No, he’s literally the person you’re choosing not to talk to. And he’s your father, man. Look, if scott’s gotten you into some trouble, talk to mac. Tell him. Tell him what’s going on. He’ll hear you out. Maybe he’ll help you get out of whatever mess you’re in. Yeah, well, what if I don’t want out of it? What if I’m the one driving the situation, not scott? You ever consider that? I know, I know. I’m late. I’m sorry. What is this big emergency? Good. You are here now. I can break the news. What news? Well, I don’t know how to say it, really. There’s no easy way to say it, so I’m just gonna say it. We have a snake in our midst. It makes me very happy that a lawyer as sharp as you is thinking what you’re thinking, ’cause it makes me believe the judge might agree with you. Okay. So are you actually accusing lucy and sasha and maxie, and not to mention your own granddaughter, of stealing the idea for the deceptor? I’m not accusing anybody of anything…yet. Well, then what am I doing here? Can you at least tell me who it was stolen from? It is time for you to put your cards on the table. Are you in, or are you out? This house has been my home for a long time, and I’m not gonna deny how much it means to me. It’s the only house that donna’s ever known. And after my marriage ended with sonny and after I lost the metro court, this house was the one thing outside of my kids that I could hold on to. Even now, I can stand in this room, and I can hear every laugh, I can feel every tear, I can even taste every meal we’ve shared. And the memories of josslyn growing up here, the memories of morgan, those memories… they’re gonna be in my heart forever.

[ Sighs ] So are you really ready to let that all go? I don’t have a choice. I mean, I-I’m a survivor, and I have to adapt. And as hard as it’s gonna be to walk out that front door and never come back, that’s what I’m gonna have to do. Nina: When willow finds out that I am the one that turned in carly and drew, any chance that I have of forging a relationship with her is gone. Nina, what’s wrong? I’m, uh — I’m not as brave as I thought I was. I-I’m gonna mess this up. I can’T. I can’t do this.


Excuse me. Are you willow’s mom, by any chance? Yes. Yes, I am. Willow told me she asked to see you. I’m so happy for you and your daughter. But you’re going to need to put this on first. Yeah. Thank you. It was nice meeting you. Okay. Nina. Willow’s ready to see you.

[ Monitor beeping ] I am sorry. You didn’t come over here to hear all my problems… no, don’t do that. …Listen to this. Don’t, don’T. Don’t be sorry. I asked how you were feeling, and I’m glad that you feel close enough that you could lean on me. Carly, it hasn’t always been that way. My loss. Mine, too. You know, I always considered you jason’s friend.

[ Chuckles ] I’m glad that’s changed. See, I’m not just losing a house. I’m gaining a friend. You never lost me. And as far as selling the house, I say we just, like — w-we put a pin in it. We can, you know, just think things through, see if you have other options. I don’t have any other options. And those memories I talked about, they’re not bound by four walls and a roof. They’re gonna come with me wherever I go. And they’re gonna be the foundation I build on. And — and not just the home I create, but the new version of myself. Aw. There we go. There’s that fighting spirit. Yeah. I’ve done this before. I have. And this time, when I’m finished. I’m gonna get back everything I’ve lost. Willow’s amazing. I knew she was tough enough to take on cancer, but to open her heart to nina was — I mean, that’s — well, she didn’t — she didn’t open her heart. She just opened a door. And it remains to be seen if nina will make willow regret it. Considering everything you’ve been through, you look wonderful. Some color in your cheeks again. And your eyes… the staff here have taken excellent care of me. But now it’s time to go home. Yes. You must be… really anxious to get back to, uh, wiley and amelia. And is there anything I can do to help you? As a matter of fact, yes, there is. Once I get settled in at home, I’D… …like you to come for a visit. A snake? Who’s the snake? Uh, it all began with what I thought was just gonna be, you know, a normal, routine report from our it department. But instead, it was anything but routine what they found yesterday — an unauthorized download from our executive shared drive. That download contained data that was highly confidential about the deceptor. Wait, that data is password-protected. Yeah, it was. Only us. We know the password. So you’re — you’re saying one of us logged on to the shared file and stole all the data on the deceptor? Nope. Not what I’m saying. I’m not saying one of us. I’m saying you, maxie. You stole it. Tracy, if I’m gonna take you on as a client, I need more. There’s plenty more where that came from. Ah. I’m not talking about the money… entirely. I-I need to be able to connect the dots, starting with who actually owns the intellectual property rights, and ending with who has them now and how they plan to reproduce the product. I will get you everything you need to proceed, once you let me know that you are truly on board. Otherwi–

[ Chuckles ] Mm-mm-mm. Right. Well, if what you say is true and a judge agrees, then you and whomever you are working with are gonna get a huge payoff. I know. And you will be entitled to a quarter of it.

[ Laughs ] You’re cute. No, uh, I will be entitled to a third. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go see other clients. Diane. Tracy. Oh, what the — hello, marty. Weren’t you gonna say hello? What are you doing with all this garbage? Well, we’re looking for evidence. Wait a minute. If you obtained this garbage illegally — excuse me. Garbage is fair game. Depends on how you got it. Well, if you must know, I got it from the housekeeper. It’s the honest truth. Grandpa, what’S…

[Haltingly] Hummingbird cake? Hummingbird cake is a cake that’s popular in the south. Whose garbage is this, anyway? James, do you know what this is? This is the jackpot.


Looks like someone was in a rush to put their bank statement through the paper shredder. That explains why some of the pieces are larger than others. Okay, come on, you two. Let’s see this as a jigsaw puzzle. All we have to do is put the pieces together. Grandpa, what is this? Martin: Why, tracy quartermaine. Long time no see. Uh, the last time our paths crossed — you were behind bars. Yeah. It was that unfortunate misunderstanding with alexis. I don’t believe I ever properly thanked you for representing me. Did I? You know, come to think of it, you didn’T. So, by all means, where do I send the bill?

[ Laughs ] Don’t ever lose your sense of humor. You still with lucy coe? I am. Why do you ask?

Chacun a son gout. Come again? “To each his own taste.” Actually, my dearly departed brother also found lucy coe irresistible. Of course, that was never a match made in heaven. You know, that sounds vaguely like a warning. Mnh-mnh. It’s a prediction. What’s the matter, falconeri? Is that really so hard to believe that your old pal could come up with a plan on his own? Not just some harebrained scheme, but an actual way to hit pay-dirt? I think you’re smart, cody. It’s just your judgment I question. Yeah, well, I can’t afford what you consider judgment. I don’t have a father with the same connections as yours. I don’t have a sam in my life or kids or family or friends. Hey, look, I’m not — I’m not trying to throw myself a pity party here. I’m just saying I’ve had to scratch and claw for everything I’ve ever gotten. Yeah, by choice. ‘Cause you got friends, cody. You got me, you got sam, you got sasha. You have a family. You have a dad. You just got to let them in. Or maybe the money is of more value to you. You think I stole from my own company?

[ Sighs ] No, I don’t really think that. I don’t want to think that. But it was very, very clear. The unauthorized download — that data came from your computer and your computer only. Okay. Y-yes, I access the shared file all the time, lucy. I was looking around in it yesterday, but I definitely didn’t download anything. And brook lynn can back me up. She was with me. Remember? I was surprised to see you. I thought you had the day off. Of course I remember that. Okay. Okay. Good. Fine. Do you remember seeing maxie download anything, or — or anybody, anybody at all, download anything from maxie’s computer? My immune system is still going to be compromised for a little while. And, um, the hardest part will be keeping amelia and wiley at a distance for a few weeks. It also means allowing a small bubble of friends and family to be in the same room with me. And you’re including me in this bubble? I want to be very clear that carly will be part of it, too. I-I asked you this once before when I thought I was…dying. But it’s even more important to me now when I have so much to live for. Feuding and the need for vengeance have to stop immediately. If you want to be a part of my life, you have to make peace with carly. I’m so sorry I’m late. I ran into tracy quartermaine. Ooh. Oh, enough said. But your timing’s perfect. Really. Oh, okay, I guess that’s my cue to go. You’re in good hands. It’s good to see you, diane. You, too. Bye, sam. See you later, carly. Okay. Okay. Because of you, you made sure that I got this house when sonny and i got divorced. Mm-hmm. Now I need you to make sure that I will get top dollar when I put this house on the market. Are you seriously thinking of selling? Please don’t talk me out of it. Please don’t try to do that, because I just went through that with sam, all right? This is the only choice I have. There’s nothing else I can do. Oh, my friend, how you underestimate me.


Okay, yes, my computer may have been the entry point, but why would I download files I already have access to? What would be my reason for doing that? Okay, that is curious. You’re right. But if you didn’t do it, then who did? You know, doubtless you have your own history with lucy. Fortunately, my lady love and I share a great many things in common, including an unshakable faith in each other. That’s adorable. But I was wondering if you would be interested in a little proposition. You can think what you want, but I’ve learned not to count on anyone but myself. And how’s that working out for you? It’s a quarterly bank statement. Look at that. $50,000 is automatically deposited every month. This puzzle isn’t any fun. All the pieces are the same. I’m getting a cookie. Okay. Get one for me, please. Odds are those monthly deposits were made by martin’s biggest client, valentin. Yeah, but why aren’t the checks drawn from a bank here in port charles? You’re right, mac. They come from a town in pennsylvania. Pine valley. I give you my word. My feud with carly is officially over.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Monitor beeping ] Nina, are you okay? I’M… …better than okay. Willow, she — she invited me into her bubble of friends and family.

[ Laughs ] Are you upset by my decision? No, no, no. Never. Look, willow, if you want nina included in your circle, I’m not gonna stand in your way. Because your happiness means everything to me. Everything. Carly: I don’t understand. The equity in this house is all I have. Unless I sell it, I won’t be able to afford anything. Carly, who’s the lawyer here? At least let me make my case. Come here.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No, I can’t come to Rockville right now. Yes, I’m aware it is a holiday, but sweep it is reopening tomorrow and you were supposed to make that flower delivery yesterday. Yeah, well, you try running a business after your partner leaves town and your best employee tries to ruin your business.

Did you know my dad? Oh, you’re Theo. You’ve covered son, and you are.

So the eyewitness who saw my dad fall into the water is an actor. Jerry Prentice is his name.

He hasn’t been in much. Just local theater, a commercial. Oh no, look at this. A couple years ago he was on that soap, body and soul.

Oh, well that’s a little better. Do you wanted to see me, Ms. Delo, it’s about time you got here. I have a job for you. What kind of job? Well, I need someone who can pretend to me the true and rifle air to the DeLorean fortune and that.

What is my son doing in one of my life’s stories?

The hell’s going on here.

Nurse King. What are you doing here? I. I, I, I came to say I’m sorry,

like Sam through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Okay, look, I, I get it’s the 4th of July and you wanna spend it with your family, but my family just lost someone really, really dear to us. And, well, my bakery is reopening tomorrow and I, I just really need something good to happen. Okay? So if you can’t help me, I 8:00 PM I will be in the store. Thank you.

Oh, uh, they were supposed to make a delivery yesterday. Flo, they’re coming tonight. As you probably gather, you’re reopening tomorrow. Yeah, that’s the plan. Assuming nothing else goes wrong, what is all this? Uh, just doing my community service. Keeping Salem clean. Yeah, I heard the DA gave you a deal. Lucky break.

Yeah, well, turns out that she had a personal experience with an abusive relationship, so she showed me some mercy. Well, good for you. Uh, I should go, uh, Chanel, uh, hang on, please. What is it?

I just really wanna say how sorry I am.

You’re sorry for what? Well, for your loss. I heard about your husband’s death and I wanted to share my deep condolences. Thank you. That’s very kind. I didn’t know Mayor Carver very well, but he seemed like a decent and caring man. Yes. He was, and you may have been the last person to see him alive.

I thought so. Uh, but it sounds like that guy at the docks was the last one to see him before he met his tragic fate,

body and soul. Never heard of it. Nice try. I know you used to watch it during the day whenever you worked night shifts. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Oh, really? So it was just a coincidence that the TV would be on that channel when I came home. I mean, if you’re watching it, it’s just, just I have to it.

Fine. All right. I, I, I watched it here and there. Mm-hmm. But only cuz I had a crush on that actress, or was her name Sal or something like that. Oh, so you like her, huh? Just cuz she reminded me of you. But baby you are way, way better looking nice, safe. No, but I don’t recall seeing this guy on the show though.

It looks like he was just in a couple episodes. Yes, he gave up his Hollywood dreams and moved back to good old Salem. I gotta be honest. I was kind of hoping for a mugshot and not a headshot. Yeah. He ran him through the system, but came back clean. Looks like he was just an innocent bystander on the docks.

I mean, why would this guy have any reason to lie about seeing my dad fall into the water?

Jerry? Jerry, you’re the witness. You’re the one who saw my dad fall into the river. Yeah, that’s me. But, but what are you doing here now? Uh, I guess I was drawn to come back because I felt guilty. Guilty about what

is an actor?

Doesn’t make sense. I want you to pretend to be Lord Kyle Vaughn Furstenberg bastard, son of lady Charmaine de Laqua, heir to the de fortune. Do you really think that’s going to work? Why not? Well, in case you haven’t noticed, I don’t exactly bear resemblance to the Delacroix land. Oh, what difference does that make?

DNA never lies until it does. So Kyle, Brandy, Kyle. Oh, rights. Kyle, you do exactly what I say. And no one will ever be the wiser.

I sure as hell will be.

Look, I felt terrible when I heard the news. I was really praying that Mary Carver would be found safe. We all were the not knowing was awful, especially for my mom and well now we have closure, but Babe is gone.

Look, I’ll never be able to forgive myself with the role that I played in all of this. And I know that Colin had nothing to do with Abe’s disappearance, but I mean, if he would’ve never assaulted him, and if I would’ve never helped him in that stupid revenge block, what ifs are pointless now? Okay. I look, believe me, I, I did my fair share of those when Colin and Sloan’s mother died, and it didn’t change a damn thing.

So now I know all we can do is just keep moving forward.

You know, you were right. You know, but while I was putting up those fires, I guess I was just trying to asage my guilty conscience. Did it work? No, it, it didn’t, and I know that there’s nothing I can do to make up for how I hurt you and your feeling.

I, I feel guilty because I saw your dad fall and I almost got to him, but it was too late and I wanted to jump in and save him, but I. You can’t swim. I, I understand. I know that the last thing my dad would’ve wanted was for you to lose your life while trying to save his. You did what you could, right? You called 9 1 1.

Yeah.

At least you know what happened to her. I’m actually glad that I ran into you so that. I can say thank you for that.

That’s very kind of, you very kind pay me a condolence call. You obviously care very deeply for your patience. Oh, mayor Carver was, wasn’t just a patient. I voted for him in every election. I then volunteered for him on his campaign. Before I ever met him, I felt as if I, I knew him personally. Hmm. Abe had an amazing talent for connecting with people.

Oh, he did. You’re very lucky to have had him for as long as you did. I keep telling myself that doesn’t make the loss any easier. We were supposed to be celebrating our first wedding anniversary. I was there. You know what? I was in the park the day that you got married. You were? Yes. I attended a, a Juneteenth barbecue and I just stumbled upon it to watch you exchanged your vows and then jump the broom.

Oh. It made me so, so happy to be a small part of that day o of your lives. I will never forget Abe Carver and I, I feel blessed to have known him.

What are you reading the statement from Nurse Whitley King? It seems like she was the last person to have seen my dad before he left the hospital. But if her timetable is right, there’s still all that time missing before he showed up at the docks. I mean, Eli, where could he have gone? We checked every security camera in Salem.

Nothing. There’s Ray. I’m not supposed to be looking at this house. Okay, that’s fine. No, I don’t wanna get you in trouble, babe. I’m not worried about that.

Bonnie. Oh, Bonnie, it’s so good to see you. You too, boss. Yeah. Wish you were under any other circumstances. Same. Hi. Oh, you too. Haven’t met. Sorry. This is Detective Jada. Hunter. Lonnie. Detective, please call me Jada. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Abe was a wonderful man. Thank you. And. I really appreciate you working so hard on this case.

Okay. Listen, I’m sure that you didn’t, uh, just come all the way down here to Salem PD to say hello. Well, I was part of it. Right. So, uh, let’s just say hypothetically, if you wanted to take a look at the evidence and I wasn’t there, then, uh, hypothetically that would be okay. No harm, no foul. Thank you for understanding.

I’m sorry. That’s my boss from DC second. Okay.

Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah, I’m really sorry. We. I just wish we had better information on your father, Ray. I know that you’ve gone over this case a hundred different ways. I guess I thought if I just, if I saw the evidence for myself that it would help me to accept what happened. Yeah, but I don’t know. Truth is if even if we did figure it out, nothing’s gonna bring my dad back.

Let’s just get to the credits. So I’m hosting the Party of the Decade at Patterns. You plead it, right? And I expect by the ends of the evening you’ll be welcomed into the family’s exclusive. Oh, what do you get out of this? That’s for me to know, for you to find out.

All right here.

Jerry Prentice. What the hell?

That’s not my son’s name.

That means Pauline’s been lying to me. What else is she lying about?

I gotta get outta here. I gotta get outta here.

Are you still seeing Dr. Evans? Yeah. Therapy is a condition of my probation, but I mean, I would’ve gone even if I didn’t have to. So if she’s helping you, yeah, more than I could have hoped. I’m glad to hear that.

Yeah, and I’m glad to see you moving forward too. Look, Chanel Sweet Bits is a great place and I know that you’re gonna make it a success again. Yeah, I’m gonna try. I hope you found someone’s salad to replace me. I did. She’s conscientious, punctual. Trustworthy.

Sounds perfect.

I mean, her oatmeal, scot cheese, taste like hockey pucks, but we’re working on it. Well, what happened there? A friendly fire. Oh, uh, something like that. I’m actually headed home so that I can shower and change and make it back for the flower delivery tonight. Well, um, go look with everything tomorrow and please tell your mom how sorry I am.

I will. Thanks.

Well, I should be going, uh, nurse King. Before you do, could I ask you a favor? Uh, sure. Now, um, as you said, you may be the last person to talk to Abraham. Um, could you tell me his last words to you? Last words, my daughter Chanel. Told me he was confused. He didn’t even remember who I was. I, I was just wondering if you had the same experience.

Did you, you awake? How are you feeling?

Paulina? Excuse me. I know. I know who you are. You’re my wife.

He said. Your name. He did see, yeah. Y’all on some level, he, he must have remembered you.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Your an angel. You have no idea what it means to me to hear that. Yes. Yes, of course. I, I, I better be going now off, off to work. Of course, of course, of course. And thank you. Thank you again for, for stopping by. Yes. Of

I hope your husband’s taking you somewhere special for your anniversary. Oh, it’s today. It is. Yeah. Happy anniversary. Thank you. But we agreed not to celebrate it until I am actually free. Oh,

what? What’s wrong? My boss just assigned me to a new case in Arizona. What she Explain your situation to him. I tried, but it turns out this case is tied to some other investigation that I’ve been working on for months. Oh, I can’t believe this. Baby, I’m sorry. I, hopefully it’s just for a day. I, I’m gonna do everything that I can to make sure that I’m back in time for his funeral.

But you, you know, I, I, I know you can’t make any promises, honey. No, I, I understand baby. You, you have a job to do, but I’m a supervised release. You agreed to look after me. Does this mean that I have to, I’ll take responsibility for you. Really? Yeah, of course. I’ll get on with corrections right away. Thank you Ray.

That’s the least I can do. When do you leave? They said that they’ll book me out on the latest possible flight, so at least we have some time to spend together tonight. Okay. Then we just have to make the most of the time that we have. Do you mind if we stop by Doug and Julie so I can say bye? Of course not.

Um, as long as we can make one other stop on the way.

Can I ask you something? Of course. I’m just wondering, since you were the last person to see my dad alive, how did he seem? What do you mean? Like did it seem like he was confused, upset? I’m not sure. Uh, I was pretty far away.

Well, did it look like he just tripped? Pretty much it, it, it all happened so fast. I, I don’t think he was in any pain. That’s what you were wondering. Yeah. You have that up. That’s good to know. Thanks. I wish I could tell you more. I, I wish I could have done more, but you, your dad seemed like a, a pretty special guy.

He was,

and I’m gonna miss him forever. Um, Theo, there’s something I need to tell you. We gotta get outta here. See what’s going on.

Abe, what are you doing? I’m leaving.

No, you’re not.

Oh, great. More cases. I’m sorry. I know, I know. You’re already swamped. Maybe if we had Eli and Lonnie back on the force, I’d be able to get through this stack. Not that I’m complaining. No, no, no, no. Complain away. I’m just saying. I mean, well, we have leash and in custody. Harris Michaels is under observation at the hospital, and then there’s Kristen and EJ Demere’s kidnapping situation, which is fishy to say the least.

Oh man. I just remember, oh no, you got one more assignment. Yeah. What now? Go home, watch some fireworks. Well, come on. No, that’s in order now. I am not saying you have to watch fireworks with me, but if you do happen to, wanna spend your well-deserved time off with yours, truly, you may, um, street location then.

Well, I do enjoy being. Discreet with you, Ms. Hernandez, you’re on.

Jerry, what is it, Theo? You’ve suffered such a terrible loss. And Theo, buddy Eli. Hi. Hi.

It’s a trying your dad, what are you guys doing here? I asked Eli to bring me here so I could see where the accident happened. I, I just, I didn’t know this would be here. So many people loved that.

Dear Jerry Apprentice. Yes. Jerry came because he felt bad about not being able to help dad when he fell into the river. But I, I told him that it’s not his fault that we don’t blame him. Thank you for saying that. Hey, why did you tell my husband you’re on that soap? Body and soul? Oh, it was a long time ago.

Mm-hmm. Well, if he’d known, he probably would’ve asked you for your autograph cuz he is secretly a fan of yours. Lonnie? No. Uh, well this is clearly a, uh, family moment, so I should just go, Jeremy, wait. Before Elia and Eli showed up, you said that you had something to tell me. What is it? Oh, I just wanted to say again how terrible I feel about your dad, and I want you to know how deeply saw her half.

Hey baby. Oh Mama. So how’s the reopening of Sweet Bits coming along? Who is coming? What are you doing on? Figured you’d be there all night getting ready? Yeah, I just came back to shower and change really quick and I’m gonna head back and, um, but. I just, I, I really hate leaving you alone again. I haven’t been alone.

Not for the whole time anyway. Oh, who came over? Oh, Whitley uh, um, nurse King came by to pay her respects really Abe’s nurse. Mm-hmm. She had so many wonderful things to say about him that was nice of her. Mm-hmm. He wasn’t her patient for long, but he really seemed to touch her life. You’ve been lying to me.

Oh, Abe, what are you talking about? Sat theo on Body and Soul, and he was playing Lorna DeLorean’s Bodyguard. And I watched the credits and they didn’t say Theo Carver, it was Jerry Prentice. You see?

Jerry Preis is his stage name, stage name. Apparently there was another actor named Theo Carver. He didn’t wanna be confused with him. Anyway, body, his soul was pretty much his last role, and he moved to South Africa and open up his own business.

I don’t believe you. I don’t believe any of it.

You’re leaving tonight, believe me. I wish I didn’t have to this anniversary. That sucks. I told you, Theo, we’re not celebrating our anniversary. Not until I’m free. Dad wouldn’t want you to wait. You’re playing the dad card. Really, Theo? He’s kind of right. Lonny. What are you saying, babe? I have hours before I need to be at the airport.

Plus we haven’t had a night together, and I don’t know how long. Well, we don’t have to make it about our anniversary. I, I just want to enjoy every moment that I have with you. He’s right. You should listen to him. I’m gonna head over to Pauls Chanel’s reopening her bakery tomorrow, and I’m sure that your mom could use the comfort.

Thank you. There may or may not be lasagna left in the fridge, so it’s not entirely altruistic. Yes. Soon. Easy.

What’s that?

This is my old pile. Bruno dad got him from me at a carnival when I was six. I used to not be able to sleep unless I was holding this thing. I squeeze. I’m sorry, this little, no, I was ripped off. You lived. Lived a tough life.

I think Dad probably thought I was gonna carry all my stuffed animals with me to high school. You’d be very proud if I was gonna leave this here, then

you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I will be. I love you so much. I love you.

I knew I was gone, but

I don’t think I felt it until right now. I’m sorry, Lonnie. I’m so sorry.

Uh, so it sounds like you and Theo have big plans tonight. Where? Dinner, fireworks on tv. Maybe a game of Canasta. You can’t play Canasta with Theo. Why not? So guys a shark. He’ll take you for everything you’re worth. Okay, we’ll skip the canesta now. Tell me, uh, how’s the new employee at Sweet Bits working out?

She’s okay. Just okay. Well, she’s fine. She’s just not Talia. I, I ran into TA at the square and um, she wanted me to tell you how sorry she feels about Abe and she still feels so guilty. I’m deeply ashamed for her part in all of it. Well enough of that. What do you mean? I mean, Talia is a young woman who was under the spell of a, a very bad man.

So for obvious reasons, my heart goes out to her and I think she should let go of the guilt and the shame and. To focus on being stronger and wiser from now on, making a good life for herself. Oh, that’s, That’s very, uh, kind of you, I, I’ll tell her that if I ever see her again.

Hey, hey. What’s going on? Uh, I’ve been just here to give my parole officer my signed forms. You know, to show I’m doing my community service and my therapy, but I can’t seem to find her anywhere. I’ll take care of it for you. Oh, thanks. So how’s therapy going? Really well, Dr. Evans is the best. Well, I’m glad it’s working.

Yep. She even offered to help me find a job at the hospital when my probation ends. That’s amazing. Now you’ll finally get back to doing what you were trained to do. Yeah. What’s wrong?

And it’s just, I saw Chanel before and she told me she hired this new woman. Are you jealous? Jealous. No. For what? You miss working at the bakery? Yeah, actually I do a lot. I know Chanel never forgive me for what I did, and she shouldn’t, but I mean, GIA, I have to admit. What?

Every time I see her, I miss her too.

Oh, Abe, everything I’ve told you is the truth. No, no, it’s not. Something has felt wrong from the beginning. You know what? Maybe you should lay down, darling. I don’t want, I don’t want to lay down. I want you to tell me the truth right now. Or I’m gonna call the police.

Oh, there you go. Here you go. What did, what did Jesus do to me? Oh, it was just a mild sedative, darling, you drug me. Oh, you were, you were confused and upset. Oh, I can’t let you leave, darling. Not now. Not ever. You.

Toya. Hey, uh, sorry. I realized I never returned this. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I figured you need it. You know, from a replacement.

I am really grateful. To be here with you in this moment, but I miss my dad. I miss our beautiful babies. That reminds me Carver and Jules, they made this for you. I think we have a couple of artistic geniuses on our hands, um, for mommy. Ugh.

Carter did that. Yeah, I love it. Um, but I, I don’t have anything for you babe. You don’t need to get me anything for our anniversary. Just having you here with me. It’s the best gift I could ever receive. Just sucks that we don’t have more time together. I know, but we’ll be together soon enough. You’ll be free.

You’ll be a family again. Yeah, and I’ll never take that for granted again. My freedom, my beautiful family. Just having you guys close to me and not just in my heart. I love you. I love you too.

Thank you.

I was hoping you wouldn’t notice. What are you thinking about?

Last 4th of July, your father was sitting right there where you are now. We were watching. Tv. He was trying so hard to be so strong after Lani had just been sent to prison and you going back to South Africa.

We were watching the fireworks and I looked over

and there was this tear holding down his face.

See, isn’t this nice a perfect night, just the two of us.

Liam: I can’t do this anymore and um…

Hope: What?

Liam: I want a divorce.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Liam: I think my marriage is over.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Ridge: I’m sorry I was so late last night.

Brooke: No, it’s okay. I felt you come in. I know you’re there, even in my sleep.

Ridge: Really?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. In my sleep, in my dreams.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Ridge: I was gonna make up for it this morning when I woke up, no logan.

Brooke: Well, I had to help hope take the kids to camp this morning. But I did kiss you on the cheek when I left.

Ridge: Yeah, that– that was a dream.

Brooke: Oh, you thought that? What about this?

Ridge: Hm. That’s better than a dream. Why did you have to help hope? What– what was it? Where’s liam? What’s going on?

Ridge: What’s going on? Is it the kids? Is there something…

Brooke: Uh, no– no, the kids are fine. It’s hope.

Ridge: It’s hope? She should be at the top of the world right now after what she and thomas pulled off in rome.

Brooke: Yeah. I’m just concerned about my daughter’s marriage with liam.

Ridge: Why?

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: You didn’t even hear me come into the room. What are you thinking about?

Steffy: I was thinking about you. How lucky I am to have you and the kids.

Finn: Hm. Okay. Now, I could buy that, but, uh, I think it’s more likely you were thinking about how hope kissed your brother.

Steffy: How could you do something like that?

[ Knocking on door ]

Rj: Hey.

Hope: Hi.

Rj: Is it okay if I come in? Is it a good time?

Hope: Yeah, of course. Come in. I just, I, um, it’s a bit of a mess. I haven’t really had a lot of time. I mean, I haven’t even unpacked yet, um…

Rj: Can I– can I help you at all?

Hope: No, no, no, no, it’s fine. I– I got it. Um, the kids have been dropped off at camp and uh, I’m gonna work from home today, so…

Rj: Hope, can I– can I help you with all this? Has he texted you or anything?

Hope: Um, no, but I’m– I’m good. I– I’ve got it managed. I’ll be fine.

Rj: You know, it’s okay if you’re not.

Hope: Rj, um… liam’s gone. He’s gone.

Rj: It’s okay. Come here.

Hope: No, it’s my fault.

Wyatt: Hey.

Liam: Hi.

Wyatt: You’re all ready?

Liam: Yeah, well, it doesn’t take long to get ready when it’s just me.

Wyatt: Right. Look, uh, I– I know you’re hurt and spending the night away made sense, but after you’ve had a little time to think it through… are you gonna go home to hope or not? Ffy: No, I think it’s better that thomas ridge: What?

Brook

Ridge: Hope and thomas kissing in rome. How does this happen?

Brooke: I don’t know. But she didn’t even know that liam was there until she got home.

Ridge: This whole time, I thought thomas was getting better. He was done with this obsession with hope, but no, he’s running around rome, kissing your daughter.

Brooke: Uh, it wasn’t thomas that kissed hope.

Ridge: What?

Brooke: Hope kissed him.

Finn: You sure you don’t want me to stay? I mean, I could push my rounds an hour.

Steffy: No, I think it’s better that thomas and i have this conversation brother to sister. He needs to know that his secret is no longer a secret anymore.

Finn: Hmph.

Thomas: Steff.

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: Hey. Oh, finn, are you on the way to the hospital?

Finn: I am. Congrats on the show, by the way. I heard it was a great success.

Thomas: Best time of my life.

Finn: Okay. Well, I gotta run but, um, hey, just call me if you need me.

Steffy: Yeah. Love you.

Finn: Love you. See ya.

Thomas: See ya. So your– your text seemed important. What’s up?

Steffy: I know what happened between you and hope in rome.

Rj: Hope, here you go.

Hope: Thank you. I mean, you really– you really shouldn’T. I mean, you don’t have to take care of me. And besides, it’s not like I deserve it.

Rj: Hey, look at me. Stop it, all right. Stop beating yourself up.

Hope: I think this might be over and it’s because of something that I did. And how– how could I do that with a man that he hates more than anyone? I mean, I– I kissed thomas.

Rj: Hope, look at me. It’s all gonna be okay.

Wyatt: You know hope loves you, right?

Liam: Do I know that? She didn’t look very in love with me when she was making out with thomas at the colosseum.

Wyatt: Okay. You– you feel betrayed? I– I get that, all right. You– you have every right to feel that way, especially after hope kisses thomas, of all freaking people. The guy who’s been wreaking havoc on your life for years now. It’s unthinkable. But liam, you– you’re married. You have a family, you got a daughter you gotta think about here. Are– are you willing to just throw all that away?

Liam: I’m not the one throwing it away.

Wyatt: I just want to know something. Are you not willing to fight for it? Are you not willing to go to hope and just try– just try to find some kind of forgiveness?

Living with diabetes?

Ridge: So hope started this, not thomas? And liam saw them?

Brooke: Yes, it’s terrible.

Ridge: How does this happen?

Brooke: I don’t know. I guess she got swept up in the moment. You know, that feeling of success and excitement over the preview for hope for the future.

Ridge: I would love to say that this has never happened to anybody else, but it has, to us. We’ve had moments like this–

Brooke: Right. I guess it’s hard for somebody to understand unless they’ve gone through it, you know, feeling that euphoria.

Ridge: But knowing how liam feels about thomas…

Brooke: I’m sure he feels very betrayed. He left. He walked out on hope.

Thomas: Rome was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I mean, the– the preview, the press conference, hope and I rocked it.

Steffy: I– I guess I’m more interested in, you know, what you did after the press conference.

Thomas: I guess all the– the normal stuff. Exploring around, you know, when in rome…

Steffy: Did you swing by the colosseum?

Rj: Hope, liam might have left, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get through this.

Hope: Yeah, but thomas has been the worst for us so many times. I mean, I don’t understand why I did it. I don’t know if it’s because I got caught up in rome and the showing and the celebrating, but it wasn’t real. I mean, that was just A… that’s a fantasy. I– I just, I feel like maybe I have just… trapped myself with all of these expectations and standards and it’s almost like I’ve built this gilded cage for myself of righteousness and control. And sometimes I catch myself wondering what it might feel like to just break free and just stop caring so much about what other people think and how other people feel. And I guess I am just figuring that out right now. And liam is never going to forgive me for this, by the way. He’s not– he’s not because I betrayed him with a man who has done horrible things to our family. I mean, what is wrong with me? How can I fix this?

Rj: You made one mistake. One. That’s it, okay? Once liam realizes that, he’s gonna walk through that door, right? And then it’s gonna be okay.

Wyatt: I’m on your side, you know that, right? Like 100%.

Liam: No, I do. I do know that. Thank you.

Wyatt: Okay. So as someone who loves you and cares about you and looking out for your family… I mean, you know, nothing’s ever going to get solved if you don’t talk about it, right? So go to hope, give her a chance to explain this a little better and– and keep an open mind, you know, just… let her try to fix it.

Brooke: Oh…

Ridge: Hey, hope and liam, they’re gonna find their way back to each other.

Brooke: Yeah, well, it just can’t tear their family apart. Hope really regrets what she’s done. She wishes she could take it all back. She wishes it didn’t happen at all, but it did. She made a mistake. I mean, god knows we’ve made a few.

Ridge: We have. We’ll be here if they need us. Look, the two of them, they love each other. And love, I don’t know, has a way of making people find their way back to each other.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Yeah.

Thomas: Uh, well, no trip to rome would be complete without seeing the colosseum.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. So much history. Tragedy too.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: You know, thomas, when I saw your designs, I was absolutely floored. You did such an amazing job, but it was also a reflection of you.

Thomas: Well, I mean, no, I mean, it was– it was hope’s vision. I just executed it.

Steffy: Yeah, but without you, hope’s vision would be just an idea. Not a reality. She needs you.

Thomas: Okay. Steff, where’s all this coming from?

Steffy: I know what happened, thomas. You worked so hard to do right by her. You have turned your life around and that didn’t matter to hope. No, it didn’T. I know she kissed you.

Hope: I, um, I didn’t know if you would come home. I’ve been texting you and calling you and… well, the kids are already at camp. They missed you this morning. Don’t worry, I covered, I said you had an early morning meeting.

Liam: I– I spent the night at my dad’S.

Hope: Okay. Well… right, well, um, obviously I have had a lot of time to think about everything. About how I could act so recklessly. When I think about it– it’s almost like I don’t even recognize myself. I don’t know who that person is and that’s– that’s not an excuse. I’m not making any excuses. You deserve so much more than that. But… there’s’s a little bit of a problem now because I’m not sure you’re even going to believe anything I say. I just can only hope and pray that you will hear me. Liam, I love you and I love our family and the life that we share together is precious to me and I will do everything I can to try to earn back your trust. I will. I’m just begging for a chance to do that. And I know I hurt you and I’m so sorry and I can see the pain in your eyes. And I hate more than anything that I am the person that put that there. I never, ever wanted you to look at me like that.

Liam: Never thought I could.

Hope: But that can change. Liam, that can change. And I know that because we– we still love each other. I know you love me and I am so sorry that I betrayed you with thomas, of all people. I am just asking you to please allow me a chance to repair the damage that I have done. Our family is worth fighting for. We can get through anything together. And I have to believe that– that a part of you knows that, liam. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. Liam, you’re here now. You showed up. That’s what matters. Please, please let me fix this. Please. Can you say that you can forgive me? I love you.

Devon: Look at you. You’re really considering this move to the chancellor mansion, aren’t you?

Abby: Uh, you caught me. I have been giving it some serious thought. I mean, there’s a lot to consider, but honestly, I don’t think that it’s my choice to make. Leaving here would mean more to you than it would to me.

Audra: Thank you so much. No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. That really was the head of crawford pictures. I just signed an exclusive deal with them for newman media.

Lily: Really?

Audra: It’s all right. You can say it. It’s okay to be impressed.

Lily: Oh, no. [ Laughing ] No, no, I’m not impressed. I’m just surprised that nate would hand off such an important deal for you to seal. I mean, he was so desperate to be in charge.

Audra: I guess you haven’t heard the good news yet. I’m running newman media now.

Kyle: Hey, dad. You wanted to see me?

Jack: Hey, come on in.

Kyle: I’ve got the latest figures on marchetti. I think you’ll be pleased with how things are going, although we may need to look at the–

Jack: I’m up to speed on the marchetti numbers. That’s not why I wanted to meet with you.

Kyle: Okay. What’s up?

Jack: I would like to discuss how we move forward from here.

Kyle: Move forward? Is there a problem I should know about?

Jack: There might be, given where things stand in your relationship with summer.

Kyle: Oh, dad, you don’t have to worry about that. Summer and i will be professional. We will find a way to manage our new normal, we will figure out how to work without conflict or acrimony if that’s what you’re concerned about.

Jack: I have my doubts. I’m not sure it’s possible or productive.

Kyle: So what are you saying?

Jack: One of you is gonna have to step away from your position at marchetti.

Kyle: The new marchetti is our creation. We reinvented that company together. Summer’s lost so much. I mean, asking her to resign after she’s been put through everything? It doesn’t seem fair. This’ll be hard on her.

Jack: I’m sorry, kyle. Summer is not the one who needs to resign.

Diane: Summer. Look, I am so sorry about what’s going on between you and kyle. I– I hate seeing the two of you torn up like this. But I just– I just hope you know that if you want or need anyone to talk to, that I’m– I’m here for you.

Summer: You know what, diane? Just stop. I– I don’t want to hear your support or your concern. You know, you were absolutely no help in getting kyle to forgive me, so thanks for nothing.

[ Diane scoffing ] Ughh!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… dominic’s baby talk,

Devon: All right, well, you know that I’m definitely not going to be making this decision on my own because we both have to have an equal say, and we have to be on the same page for a move like this.

Abby: Well, I mean, honestly I would be happy living anywhere as long as we’re together. But if I could translate dominic’s baby talk, I think he feels more at home at the chancellor estate.

Devon: Yeah? You don’t think he feels at home here?

Abby: Don’t get me wrong, he loves it here, but that’s where he spent most of his early life.

Devon: I know. I know. That’s– he probably does feel the difference.

Abby: I mean, as soon as we pull into the chancellor house, I mean, he gets the biggest smile on his face.

Devon: Yeah, I bet he does. It’s a nice place. It’s huge. He has a park for a backyard.

Abby: Yes. I mean, and I think he connects this place with spending time with you, which he obviously loves. I mean, as soon as we get off the elevator, he starts saying, “daddy!”

Devon: Well, he would definitely have more space in the mansion and a lot more rooms to explore. We could take one and turn it into a whole toy store for him. He’d probably love that.

Abby: Yeah, what kid wouldn’t?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: But how are you feeling about this move? What’s your heart telling you?

Devon: Uh, honestly, I just keep thinking about what chance said about katherine because, well, that mansion was her pride and joy, and she’d hate for it to be sitting empty.

Abby: Yeah, no, I heard she would want the whole place to be filled with life and laughter.

Devon: Exactly. And it seems like chance is gonna do whatever he’s gonna do, regardless of if we move or not, so I don’t know. It just feels like another part of katherine’s legacy that I could keep alive. And I know that she would love the fact that her great-grandson is growing up in a house that meant so much to her.

Abby: Then, I think we have our answer.

Devon: You think so?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: I think we do, too.

Lily: Well, I mean, I knew you were a shark, but I didn’t think that you would turn your back on nate so quickly. I mean, especially after he took such a huge risk hiring you. So, how did you pull it off this time?

Audra: Well, this wasn’t some kind of backstabbing move. I scored the promotion completely on my own merit.

[ Lily scoffing ]

Lily: I find that really hard to believe.

Audra: Of course you think the worst of me.

Lily: Oh, nate, hello. Perfect timing. I just heard about how your coo has sunk her fangs into your job. That’s what you get when you swim with sharks, so.

Nate: I’m not sure you have the whole story here.

Audra: Yeah, she didn’t even give me a chance to explain. She couldn’t wait to go on the attack.

Nate: Lily, uh, I’m temporarily filling in for nick as coo of the parent company. And audra here is keeping things running at newman media for me.

Lily: Oh, that makes sense. You’re a place filler. I got it. Yeah.

Audra: No. I’m much more than a place filler, as evidence by the deal I just negotiated.

Nate: So? Meeting went well?

Audra: I’d say it’s pretty much in the bag.

Nate: Congratulations, that is quite the score. You’ll have to fill me in on the details.

Audra: Oh, definitely.

Lily: Audra, would you mind giving us a minute to chat?

Audra: Of course. I’ve got quite a few phone calls to make about my huge news. Oh, and lily, I don’t think I ever got to thank you.

Lily: For what?

Audra: For firing me from chancellor-winters. If you and devon had never let me go, I would have never gotten this incredible opportunity. Now, I’m flying high at newman media. And I’m not usually one to brag, but I feel like I’m finally at the top of my game.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Oh, my gosh. Okay, wow. Anyway, um, I haven’t seen you since the tribute to my dad. How are you doing?

Nate: Thank you for asking. I have to say, things– things are great.

Lily: Good. I’m glad to hear that. I was worried about you after I heard about your breakup with elena. It didn’t have to do with audra, did it?

Nate: No, no, not at all. Um, actually, victoria and I have started seeing each other.

Lily: I’m sorry. [ Laughing ] Wow. Really? Wow. [ Laughing ] You are swimming with all the sharks, aren’t you?

[ Lily chuckling ] I mean, I was gonna tell you to be careful of audra and victoria, but you really are managing the waters just fine, aren’t you?

Diane: Look, I know you’re upset right now. Ho– how can you not be after everything that has happened. Stop! Summer, I just want you to know that I’m sorry.

Summer: Diane, you’re the reason that my mom is gone and my marriage is crumbling. Honestly, I– I’m just grateful that I don’t have to walk around on eggshells with you anymore.

Diane: What? Why can’t you see that I’m trying to help you to understand why you’re acting like this?

Summer: You’re trying to help? When I asked you for help with my marriage, it was a test. And you failed it. Miserably. So, I– I’m gonna handle things on my own from here on out. And you know what? My mom was right. You do destroy everything that you touch.

Kyle: You’re suggesting that I should be the one to resign?

Jack: Yes, I think summer should be the one to stay on marchetti.

Kyle: Okay, based on what? Did summer put you up to this?

Jack: No. Absolutely not. Summer would never do that. Look, I discussed this with her, this is a business discussion. Yes, it is personal as well.

Kyle: So, personally you would rather I be the one to go?

Jack: Kyle, I have to look at the whole picture. Summer’s life is in chaos. She thinks she’s losing everything. Marchetti should be the one thing that she can count on.

Kyle: Oh, dad, she should have been able to count on me, but instead she chose to lie and keep secrets.

Jack: Kyle, you are my son, and I love you, and the last thing I want is for you to leave your grandfather’s company.

Kyle: Yeah, but you want me to resign from marchetti.

Jack: From marchetti, yes. Not from jabot. There are plenty of jobs in other divisions here you could walk into seamlessly. We’ll figure it out.

Kyle: Billy occupies my old ceo seat, dad, so what’s left?

Jack: There are probably plenty of options, kyle. I said we’ll figure it out. I’m sorry, I really am, but if you are determined to separate from summer, it makes sense, business sense, to separate at work as well.

Kyle: I see. But I have to wonder if there isn’t more to this.

Jack: What more could there be?

Kyle: Is this your subtle way of trying to get summer and me to stay together?

Audra: I see your cousin left. Did she, uh, lecture you again on corporate morality?

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: Why would you say that?

Audra: Seems like that’s what she does. She’s judgmental, that one. She took her own brother to court over the family company.

Nate: Ah, don’t be so hard on her. Lily’s a good person with a good heart. We had a chance to reconnect a little at neil’s jazz lounge dedication and I am– I am relieved about that. The last thing I want is for our relationship to backslide now that things are, thankfully, on the right path.

Audra: Listen, I have nothing against you rebonding with your family. Look, in fact, I’m all for it. Just please don’t let lily’s selective conscience influence important business decisions.

Nate: I’m not worried about lily or any undue influence you think she might have on me.

Audra: Your cousin may want to be on your side, but you still betrayed her company. And now, here you are succeeding without it. That’s probably something she won’t forget anytime soon.

Lily: I am so glad you called me over because I have some news for you.

Devon: Really?

Lily: Yes.

Devon: What is it?

Lily: Nate is involved romantically with victoria. [ Laughing ]

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: Did you know?

Devon: Yeah. I did know ’cause elena told me about it not too long ago and I didn’t wanna go and gossip about nate cheating on her.

Lily: Oh, I didn’t know he cheated. He left that part of the story out.

Devon: I bet he did.

Lily: Okay, well did you know this? That nate and audra have temporary positions at newman? Nate’s filling in for nick as coo, and audra’s filling in for nate as ceo at newman media. So, no such thing as karma, I guess.

Devon: Wow, yeah, no, I guess not.

Lily: You know, I really felt like after the tribute to dad that maybe nate and i could work things out. I just keep wanting to believe he’s this good person, but he just keeps proving me wrong over and over.

Devon: He hasn’t been a good person for a while now. But despite that, how would you feel about being his neighbor?

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Chance: Said you wanted to talk? Did you guys make a decision about the move?

Abby: I just– I want to make sure that you’re definitely okay with this move.

Chance: Well, I wouldn’t have made the offer otherwise.

Abby: Because it’s kind of a big life change and I don’t want you to have any regrets.

Chance: I know what I’m doing. I know what I want, okay?

Abby: Okay. Because, you know, it’s just the two of us. I mean, you can tell me how you’re feeling. You can be open.

Chance: Abby, trust me, I’m not holding anything back. Why would I do that?

Abby: Just because we’re not together anymore doesn’t mean I don’t care about you. So, if you wanna tell me how you’re feeling, you can. I’m here to listen.

Jack: Kyle, there is no manipulation here. There is no ulterior motive. This is not part of a plan to get you to stay with summer. Regardless how I feel about that, I would never force you to do something against your will.

Kyle: Then why would you choose her over your own son?

Jack: That is not what I am doing. Kyle, I love you both. Let me be very clear about this. No one is getting fired, I am in no way suggesting that you leave jabot. There are great jobs here that you could thrive in.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. It feels like I’d be going backward.

Jack: It is not feasible for you to continue working as a team. Your jobs require that you work in sync, you would be doing damage to a company you’ve worked very hard to build. And think about it, kyle, working day in, day out next to summer? That would hurt you both, you can see that, right?

Kyle: No, I can’T. Summer and i are perfectly capable of handling our jobs and keeping our personal life out of it.

Jack: You say that now, but try to imagine how awkward a workplace you would be creating for yourself and everyone else. Kyle, if you are determined to separate from summer, separate. No one can stop you from that. But if you continue to try so hard to work with summer closely, maybe that should tell you something. Kyle, we need to resolve this. I’m gonna need your answer soon.

Kyle: I will get back to you.

[ Jack sighing ]

Chance: Thank you. Look, abby, I appreciate your concern. And, yes, this move is something that I need to do for me, but it’s– it’s mostly for dominic.

Abby: I know how badly I hurt you and I will always regret that.

Chance: We grew apart, all right? And I’m coming to terms with that now.

Abby: I know, but if I had–

Chance: Hey. Why don’t we put all that behind us and at least try to be friends again for dominic’s sake?

Abby: I would like that.

Chance: Good. I’m in a good place right now. Really. Looking forward, I’m trying to make better decisions for my future and I’d like to start with the house.

Abby: So, you’re really okay with moving out of the mansion?

Chance: Yeah, I don’t need that place. It’s too quiet, it feels like a mausoleum. It needs to be filled with laughter. It needs dominic running around all the time, not just when he visits.

Abby: Okay, well, it sounds like you’ve made up your mind then.

Chance: Already found a place. I’ll be out by the end of the week.

Abby: Wow. [ Laughing ] Okay then.

Chance: Tell me if I’m wrong, but I feel like this is the right move here. I mean, dominic’s still gonna have all three of his parents. I’m gonna see him just as much as I do now. You know, occasionally he can stay at my house, but he’s not gonna be bouncing back and forth all the time now.

Abby: Well, I think it’s official.

Devon: So, I invited you over here for an important reason and that is to offer you this penthouse. I thought you might be interested in moving in.

Lily: Uh, what do you– what? Where would you and abby and dominic live?

Devon: So, chance came by and offered us the opportunity to move into the chancellor mansion.

Lily: Wow.

Devon: And I know it seems a little odd given how everything went down between us, but we both think that it’s the right move for everyone.

Lily: And how so?

Devon: Well, ’cause chance is single, so he doesn’t need all that space to himself. And as for dominic, that’s where he feels the most comfortable living.

Lily: That’s great. You guys are being very mature about this.

Devon: Yeah. It is easy once we agree to put dominic first. But would you be interested in moving in here?

Lily: I mean… [ Laughing ] …This has definitely caught me off guard, but, I mean, I– I love this place, I’ve always thought it’s beautiful and it’s, you know, the last place…

Devon: Neil was alive.

Lily: Yeah, which, you know, I like the idea of his presence being here, that’s very comforting. So I do love that.

Devon: It was almost the thing that kept me from even considering moving out, but then I thought of you. I thought you’d be perfect to be in here. And I imagine you could get a good deal on the place since I know the owner of the building. So, come on. How about we, uh, we keep this place in the family?

[ Summer sighing ]

Kyle: You know how much I love you. I would follow you anywhere in the world. Even right across the room because you are the center of my universe. You and harrison. How long have I known you?

Summer: Mm, close to forever.

Kyle: And in all that time, you’ve been a million things to me. My rock, my advisor, best friend, partner.

Summer: Tormentor.

[ Both laughing ]

Kyle: My love. We’ve been through challenges together and everyone keeps talking about how young we are, but all I can think about is summer and I, we have lived a lifetime together. And you’ve watched me go down paths that have led me away from you, only to find that I’ve always followed the path that brought me right back home.

Summer: It has been the wildest ride of my life, kyle.

Kyle: But you didn’t sign up for this, raising a child that you didn’t give birth to.

Summer: Harrison is my son, biological or not.

Kyle: I know. And that’s what I love most about you. The way you open up your heart just to let people in. And I thank whatever higher power that put me in your sights. I know we’ve had our obstacles.

Summer: You. It was definitely mostly you.

Kyle: But you never gave up. We’re the best part of each other’s stories and every time I turn the page, you’re doing something else that blows my mind or makes me know we made the right choice when we chose each other. I would choose you every day.

Summer: Even over ice cream?

Kyle: Yes, even over my beloved mocha fudge. Now, just please, just let me finish, okay?

[ Summer laughing ] You are what makes me want to find out what comes next. I know it hasn’t been easy and there will be more difficulties, there always will be. I am so lucky I get to face them with you.

Summer: Well, stick around ’cause this next chapter, it is out of this world.

Kyle: Good. I like our story. I love our family.

Summer: We are the best, right? [ Giggling ]

Kyle: Like I said, I would follow you anywhere in the world, so will you do the same for me?

Summer: Of course, but where are we going?

Kyle: Back down the aisle. Summer newman abbott… will you make me the happiest man in genoa city? Will you marry me again?

Summer: You’re home. Did diane call you?

Kyle: Is there a reason she should have?

Summer: It doesn’t matter anyway.

Kyle: What happened now? Did you and my mom get into–

Summer: It’s not everything, but it’s enough to move out with. Just what you want, right?

Kyle: I guess. I just– I didn’t expect you’d be ready to go so quickly.

Summer: What would be the point in waiting?

Kyle: Um… I talked to my dad about marchetti. He thinks I should leave the company and let you run it. I fought at first, but now I realize how right he is. We shouldn’t inflict our problems on other people. Marchetti’s yours. You shouldn’t have to lose any more.

Summer: I guess there’s just one thing left to do. Hardest part of all. [ Sighs ] Harrison, could you come down here for a minute? Ughh! With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue

what can you do

with sensitive skin?

Summer: Hi, sweetie, were you playing upstairs? Here, come sit with me.

Kyle: Sorry to interrupt all the fun, buddy, but mommy and daddy need to talk to you about something for a minute.

Harrison: Okay.

Summer: You know how much we love you, don’t you?

Kyle: And I hope you know that will never change. However, there is going to be a little shift around here. We want to be sure that you understand.

Summer: I’m gonna be moving out for a little while. But other than that, nothing much is gonna be different.

Kyle: Nope. Not at all. We’ll still be doing all the fun things we always do.

Summer: Yeah, and I’m still gonna see you every single day. I’m gonna read to you and play with you and– you can come and visit me anytime you like.

Kyle: Trust us. You will never miss out on a single drop of our love. Just like always. Okay, buddy?

Summer: In fact, you know what? We’re gonna have even more fun than ever.

Kyle: And I hope you know you can always count on us to be there for you. 100%.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I love you, harrison. Come here.

Audra: Check us out. We’re on a real roll here. On track to getting everything we’ve been working towards. To us.

Nate: I can’t believe how effortlessly everything kind of just has fallen into place.

Audra: You know, I mean, what nick went through was terrible. I don’t wish that on anyone.

Nate: He didn’t think he needed the time off. He hasn’t gone back to the office since victoria insisted.

Audra: Hmm.

Nate: She really didn’t leave him a choice.

Audra: Do you know when he’s planning to return?

Nate: No. I haven’t heard a word about it. Who knows? Maybe he’ll decide to give up on the corporate life again. You know, buy another bar or refocus on his charity work.

Audra: That will leave the coo position wide open for you to step right in. Permanently.

Nate: I wouldn’t turn it down, that’s for sure.

Audra: Things are still going well with you and victoria personally, I hope?

Nate: Could be better. Speaking of which, in light of our new positions, we should probably head back to the office.

Audra: Oh, you go ahead. I– I have something to take care of. A little side project I’m working on.

Nate: Anything victoria and i should know about?

Audra: Not yet, but stand by. It may prove very rewarding.

Abby: Lily, hey!

Lily: Hey!

Abby: I’m so happy that you’re here. I have some good news to share.

Devon: Do you? What is it?

Abby: Well, it’s on the chance front. We can move into the chancellor mansion by the end of the week.

Lily: Wow, congratulations.

Devon: Sheesh. That’s very fast, a week.

Abby: Yeah, I guess chance found another place to live.

Devon: He wasn’t messing around, was he?

Abby: No, um, how’s everything going here?

Devon: I don’t know yet ’cause lily hasn’t given me an answer yet.

Abby: Well, I’m sure you don’t have to sell lily on how amazing this place is. Not to mention it is super close to the chancellor-winters headquarters.

Devon: That’s right.

Lily: That’s true. Oh, I mean…

Devon: Come on.

[ All laughing ]

Lily: You know what? I’m in. It’s fine. I’m in.

Abby: Yay!

Lily: I’m in. Yeah, why not?

Devon: Congratulations!

Lily: Why not? [ Laughing ]

Devon: All we gotta do is pack now.

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: Aw.

Lily: Wow.

Kyle: Well, that went better than expected.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Breaks my heart. He’s been through so many sudden, drastic changes in his life. He’s adjusted so well in spite of it all.

Kyle: Well, that’s because of you.

Summer: You too. We made a pretty great team.

Kyle: We always will when it comes to our son.

Summer: The hardest part is gonna come later when he calls out for me and I’m not here.

Kyle: That’s when we will just pick up the phone, then. Okay? I promise to let harrison call you as often and anytime as he wants. And you should feel free to come by and call whenever you like.

Summer: It’s not gonna be the same. Not for me or harrison. Okay. I guess I’m gonna get going.

Kyle: Here, let me help you with your bags.

Summer: No. It’s okay. I got it.

Your heart

is the beat of life.

Diane: It wasn’t pretty, jack. I cannot believe what summer said to me.

Jack: I am so sorry you had to deal with that.

Diane: Well, I’m trying not to blame her for being so upset. You know, she just needed to lash out at someone and there I was, the easiest target.

Jack: Well, that’s very generous of you, but she has no right treating you that way. You are not to blame for their problems. I had my own run-in with kyle earlier.

Diane: Well, I can imagine he’s as upset about their breakup as she is.

Jack: Well, it wasn’t about that directly. It was about marchetti.

[ Door creaks open ]

Diane: Kyle. Are you okay? What’s– what’s wrong?

Kyle: We told harrison about the separation. It went as well as could be expected.

Jack: That couldn’t have been easy.

Kyle: Summer also moved out of the house and… I told her I will be resigning from my position at marchetti.

Jack: I’m sure that was difficult to decide. More difficult to tell summer, but, kyle, I promise you, this new job is gonna be more than rewarding.

Kyle: Thanks, dad. I don’t think so.

Jack: Wait, what does that mean?

Kyle: I appreciate you offering a spot for me to stay at jabot, but I’m afraid I have to respectfully decline. I hope you’ll understand, but I need some space to figure out what’s next.

Jack: What’s next without jabot?

Abby: I have to schedule the movers, I have to get extra keys for the chancellor house, I have to notify the post office. I have to have dominic’s penthouse furniture put in storage or I could give it to charity.

[ Abby sighing ] Are you okay? Is all of this moving too fast?

Devon: What?

Abby: It’s just, we can slow it down. I mean, there’s no rush at all.

Devon: Nah, no need to slow anything down. I appreciate you being concerned. I’m fine.

Abby: Are you sure? ‘Cause I saw you drifting over here. I mean, it’s okay if you’re having second thoughts about moving.

Devon: Nah, it’s not any second thoughts, it’s– it’s just– it’s gonna be a little tougher to leave this place than I thought, you know? This is where I– I did all my real growing up. This is where I figured out who I am and what I wanted out of life. After all that time I spent at the gcac, this was the first place where I really felt like I could settle down.

Abby: Hmm. It’s not too late to change our minds.

Devon: No. We’re not gonna change our minds. It’s time to move on. And it’s time for us to start our life together.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Right?

Abby: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Devon: It’s gonna be great.

[ Abby chuckling ]

Chance: Hey.

Summer: Hey.

Chance: Tell me this isn’t what it looks like.

Summer: Actually, it’s exactly what it looks like. Kyle asked me to move out.

Kyle: Got your text, but I’m surprised you wanted to meet here.

Audra: Well, I had a banner day as newman media’s newly minted interim ceo and I was busy getting settled in and meeting with department heads, but I had time for a short break and you seemed so eager, so, um, I thought I could spare you a few brief minutes of my very, very valuable time. Uh, how was your day?

Kyle: Um… summer moved out. She and I are separated. Want your clothes to smell freshly

Diane: It’s tough to see kyle hurting like this.

Jack: He’s at a crossroads in his life emotionally and professionally. Would he really walk away from jabot? And his family?

Diane: It’s just all so fresh right now. Kyle just needs to take a breath, take a step back and maybe even get away for a little while. And then he can return to his family’s business and find his place here. He knows that this is where he needs to be.

Jack: I don’t know. I’d sure like to believe that. I do know one thing. That house is gonna be a whole lot sadder without summer there.

Chance: Summer, I’m truly sorry. Unfortunately I’ve been through this, so I know it’s tough.

Summer: Yeah, it is.

Chance: Well, if you need someone to talk to, I’m here. Don’t be afraid to reach out.

Summer: Thanks. I think I just need to get settled into my new home and try to let all of this blow over. Then I can focus on getting my marriage back on track.

Audra: Sorry to hear that. I can imagine ending a marriage isn’t easy.

[ Kyle sighing ] I– I hope it didn’t have to do with, you know, with what happened with us last night.

Kyle: No. Trust me. My problems with summer started way before you and I slept together.

Audra: Well, I– I don’t mean to pry, but that’s a relief. I would hate to think that I, you know, made things worse for you.

Kyle: No, you don’t need to worry about that. Things were already bad, I just… I have a lot to figure out right now.

Audra: Don’t tell me there’s more?

Kyle: As if the separation wasn’t enough, I’m out of a job. Apparently, summer got to keep custody of the workplace.

Audra: I’m surprised. Uh, I would think that if anyone had to go, it’d be her, right? Jabot is your family’s company.

Kyle: Right.

Audra: Hmm. Well, I– I’m curious, what’re you gonna do next?

[ Kyle chuckling]

Kyle: I haven’t gotten that far. That’s much of what I have to figure out.

Audra: Interesting.

Kyle: Hmm.

Nate: The risk is undeniable, the downside is very real, but why not be ahead of the pack?

Victoria: Yes. Big. Bold. No limits. No safety nets. Have I told you lately how much I like the way you think? It’s like talking to myself, but it’s much more fun.

[ Both laughing ] Hey, I have an idea. Why don’t you take the babcock meeting this afternoon? The cfo can be a little, you know, hard-headed, but I’m sure it’s something you can handle. You could also head up the marketing team status conference? I think they could definitely use some fresh ideas in there.

[ Laughs ] What?

Nate: Those are very high profile.

Victoria: You’re onboard as the interim coo. I don’t see why that would be particularly unusual.

Nate: But we both know how a lot of people feel about me stepping in for nick. And me sitting in your chair. You’re making a hell of a statement with this move.

Victoria: I know. And I don’t care.

******************”**”***

Adam: Thank you for the condolences, but given your husband’s feelings for sally, you’ll understand if your sympathies feel a bit disingenuous.

Nikki: Adam, I am speaking to you as a fellow parent who has experienced loss. And it is unimaginable. The emptiness is overwhelming. Your vision of your future with your child has been taken from you.

Adam: Taken from me? No, no. Ask sally. This was my choice. Our little girl is dead because of me.

Nikki: That is not true.

Adam: Well, it is to sally and she hates me for it. I mean, our little girl didn’t even get to take a breath because of me.

Nikki: Adam, it was an impossible choice.

Adam: But, I mean, you can’t be surprised that I screwed up, right? ‘Cause I’m no hero, I’m not like Nicholas.

Nikki: You saved her life.

Adam: Well, apparently, that doesn’t count.

Nikki: Yes, of course it does. And thank god you did.

Adam: God? God doesn’t factor into this equation because any god who makes someone choose between mother and child isn’t a god that I believe in.

Nikki: You’re angry and that’s understandable, but you cannot let it consume you.

Adam: I don’t know. It seems to be my comfort zone these days. But, nikki, if you will excuse me.

Nikki: Adam, listen. Listen. You have a bright, wonderful son who needs you and you have people who care about you. I hope you can hold onto that.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mama, look how beautiful mama.

Oh, just, just put, put a bit all the, okay.

All right. And here is the note.

You can read it.

Okay. Dear Paulina and Chanel, we are very sorry for your unimaginable loss. You are in our thoughts and we are here for you. Whatever you need, always love John and Marlin.

Such good friends. I’ve loved Abe so much. I’m sure they must be grieving too. Um, I should send them something.

No, mama. Right now you just need to take care of yourself. Okay.

Come on buddy. You gotta be out here somewhere.

Is that you buddy?

Hello, John.

I knew that I’d find you. Oh, I gotta tell Paulina. I’m sorry, John. I can’t stay. What do you mean you can’t stay? Goodbye old friend.

No, no, no. Don’t believe. Don’t go Abraham. Abraham. Don’t go.

What are you doing with that paper?

Did you, did you see the paper? They’re saying that my dad is dead. The, they’re saying that Commissioner Hernandez thinks so too. All the people that I need and love, I I just keep losing them. You haven’t lost me, Theo. I’m right here. Hi.

Like Sam through the hour class. So are the of

So does this mean No, I, I haven’t been released from prison, but Eli convinced the warden to grant me a furlough for dad’s funeral. I just have to wear this, honey. Thank God you’re here. I love you. I’m so grateful I could be here. I’m just, I’m so sorry, Theo. I wasn’t here when dad first went missing, and I wish we could have waited together or maybe I could have helped find him.

No, babe, we went over this. There’s nothing that you could have done that Steve, John, or Raf didn’t try. Helis, right? Everybody was looking for him, and even though he’s the most well-known man in Salem, nobody saw him on a single soul. I just, I don’t get it money. I don’t get it either. Hey, but we have to be strong for each other.

Okay. And we have to take care of each other. Okay. Because that is what dad would’ve wanted. Okay. I love you.

You didn’t even come to bed last night. Well, I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep,

just be going over this stuff again. I still can’t believe Abe just walked off the docks, fell in the water, and drowned even though all the evidence points to that evidence can be fabricated. Is that what you think happened? It’s just too easy. Sweetness. It’s too pat.

Oh, thank you. You woke up drenched in sweat, calling out Abe’s name. Yeah. They’re one of those damn nightmares.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Yeah.

I was down at the docks and I found. And we, we were, we were face to face. I was talking to him and before I could call Paulina to tell him that he was okay, he was gone. And I, I couldn’t stop cock. I tried it. I, uh, I couldn’t stop on my eye.

No wonder the dream was so upsetting for you. Paulina trusted that Steve and I were gonna find him, and I let her down.

Let him down.

So, did you hear me? What are you doing with that paper? I was, I was getting rid of it before you woke up. Why? Because I didn’t want you to get upset. Why am upset now? I don’t like being handled. Okay. I’ll tell you something terrible happened down at the docks. A local man who had gone missing was found in the water.

He drown? Yes. Yes. Well, at least now his poor family can have closure for weeks. They had been looking for him. Well, I, I feel sorry for them. And for him, but I’m not falling apart. And now I’d like to read that story for myself.

Lasagna from the bistro, from Maggie and Victor, Kiki. How nice we can have it for dinner with the green beans that Julie brought over.

What, just, uh, don’t you think it’s maybe time for you to take a shower and get dressed? Not yet, darling. Not right now. Right now I getting dressed reminds me of just wanting to look my best for my sweet husband, and without him here I. No, I just, I just need to sit here right now. Come, come sit with me.

Sit with me.

No. Excuse me. I’m sorry, Abe. I’m putting my foot down. The details are just too upsetting and the doctor said that we have to keep your stress levels low, you know, to a minimum, so we avoid another seizure. I feel fine. Well, you felt fine before the last one, didn’t you? You know, you’re not the only one going through this.

You know, I’m, I’m, I’m scared. I’m scared all the time.

I, I’m sorry. I, I, I wasn’t thinking, I, I, I know this is, this isn’t easy for you. I, I just can’t lose you. Okay. I get it. I get it. I’m, I’m sorry. Then, then I have to go to work and I have to leave you at home alone. Look, I feel, I feel fine. You, you don’t have to worry about me. Okay. Well, I, I better go and get ready now.

Get ready to go to work.

And believe me, darling, I’m doing this for you. This is what’s best for you.

You are being too hard on yourself. You and Steve did everything you could to find a, obviously we didn’t do enough. Right?

You know what the worst part is?

We gave Pauline hope. We told her, it just doesn’t make any sense how he could have got from wherever he was all the way down to the dock without somebody recognizing him and calling the cops. Don’t you believe that? I still believe that. I don’t know how he could have done it or why he fell in the water, but then you got the hospital bracelet.

His name’s on it. The blood. Most important. You have an eyewitness, the only person who saw him these last two weeks. Finally, somebody sees Abe. And what happens the next minute he falls off the dock and drowns in the river.

So you, you got to see Joseph Carter? I did. Uh, I cannot tell you how wonderful it was just to hold my babies and my arms without a prison matron. Just watching me like a hawk. Yeah. They’re with my mom now. We do wish we could have brought them, but obviously they’re, they’re too young to deal with all this.

Right. But we, we know how much they left their grandpa. Yeah. And we did tell them what happened, but they didn’t seem to understand, which is a, a good thing for now.

They seem to be starting fireworks early.

Oh my God. 4th of July. It’s, it’s your anniversary.

What’s wrong? Are you guys fighting? No. No. Theo No we’re not. You’ve given everything that’s been thrown at us this year. I think, uh, we’re doing pretty damn well. So why did you both seem so we’re gonna say it was your anniversary cause we decided that we’re not gonna celebrate this year. Because of Dad Lonnie.

That is the reason why you should celebrate, you know how happy he was about you and Eli, how, how he love that you two got married and how he was over the moon when the babies were born. I know, I know Theo, but to have champagne and a fancy dinner without him there, I can’t do it. I’m sorry. I can’t do it.

I’m sorry, Lonnie, I didn’t mean to upset you. Come here. Yeah. I think we better our head over to Pauline is You wanna come with us? No, I’ll, um, I’ll come over later. I think she’s gonna wanna spend some time alone with you. Yeah. And there’s something I have to do. What do you mean to Pat? Well, first of all, do you really think Abe was physically capable of getting outta the hospital on his own?

At the time I didn’t think so, but I suppose it’s possible. Okay. Well, S AA did wander off on his own. Salem PD puts out an a p b, and for weeks the cops and a whole army of volunteers search for one of the best known men in the city. And no one reports seeing anyone they even think might have been a and one day, weeks later.

The first person to lay eyes on Ave sees him at the exact moment. He walks into the water and drowns, and then the case is closed, all tied up with the ribbon. Something doesn’t add up, baby.

So you’re saying that if egg was so confused and so out of it, he just, he just walked off a dock into the river then how did he survive the weeks before that? No, he was, uh, not only suffering from Amnesia, he was recovering from a head injury. So what did he negotiate the streets on his own. Would you still think that it was Colin Bedford that did it?

I know maybe he kidnapped Abe, I don’t know. But he was in jail most of the time. Abe was missing if someone wasn’t looking after Abe. I don’t understand how he didn’t end up in social services. And thanks to Abe Salem is very proactive in helping the homeless. You know, you’re really, you really kind of scaring me now.

Oh, I’ll get in.

Theo. Theo, I’m so glad you came over. Oh, Steve, look. Look at Theo. Hey man. Okay. I’m so sorry.

This is, uh, this is a tough day. I, I am sorry that, uh, John and I didn’t come through for your dad and for you. You did your best. I just came to say thank you for the donation you made in my dad’s name to the autism charity. Well, we, we know how important that charity was to your dad. We were happy to do it.

And we really loved your dad, and we love you, and we are here for you.

Well, your executives and your long lunch breaks. Mm-hmm. How you feeling? I tell you, I feel a lot better when I get these bullet fragments outta me. Yeah. How you doing these days?

Hey, hey look, I’m not trying to pry, I’m asking as a friend who’s friend. Mine are Romans. Both of you. I don’t want either one of you to get hurt.

What were you just, now

I was thinking of the moment that I found out I wasn’t the person I thought I was. And how my whole life that I knew I changed in an instant

and there was Abe, one thing in my life was still the same, and it was my friendship with Abraham.

Dammit, doc, I just wish that I could have been as good a friend to him as he’s always had been to me. You were, you were. He always knew that about you. Dammit, doc. I was so damn sure that we were gonna find him. I, I was so damn sure that someone had taken him for whatever reason, they were holding him against his will and, and,

And I was so damn wrong.

Well, I’m off to work now.

I Are you still mad at me? No, not mad. I just, uh, I just get a bit lonely when you’re gone. Oh, well I thought you were catching up on body and Soul. I am, but it would be nice to have people who talk back, you know, I was thinking, couldn’t feel come over and hang out for a while. Oh, I forgot to tell you, uh, Theo had to travel back to South Africa.

What? My son left town without saying goodbye. Well, he stopped by on his way to the airport, but you were resting and I didn’t wanna disturb you, but I would’ve wanted to say goodbye. You should have woken me up. I, I know. I, I, I, you’re right. I, I, I’m sorry. What? What, what about your daughter? Huh? Chanel. My stepdaughter, couldn’t she come by and see me?

I just keep thinking of the heartache got brought to Abraham with my secrets and lies. Mama, you more than made up for whatever heartache you caused him by all the love and support you gave him. He was so crazy about you.

Look at that be.

This is delicious. I know things are hard right now, Theo, but you have to remember to eat. I’ll try. And you know what? If you ever are feeling alone or you wanna talk to somebody, we’re here for you. I know that. Thank you. But I think I’m gonna be okay, especially now that my sister’s here. Mama, you’re not going to believe this.

No, but. What is it now of a, let me guess, a cactus. Well, Eli does say I can be a bit prickly if I haven’t had my morning coffee. Mommy.

Oh. Hi, mama. I’m home. My baby girl, my darling, my precious girl.

Come on, man. What’s the matter with you? What? What, honey? What? I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. From the moment I woke up here, all I’ve been thinking about and talking about is myself, and I know you’re going through this too, sweetheart. It’s hitting me hard too. It doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to me about how you’re feeling.

Look, the only way that we’re going to get through this, and I I, I mean beyond the two of us way, we’re all going to get through this is talk about our feelings, share our feelings. In fact, I think I have an idea.

Paulina must have been thrilled to see Lonnie. God bless Eli for bringing her home. It’s just a furlough. Well, I think it’s really important that your whole family is together for the funeral. Yeah.

When my mom died, I was able to say bye to her, but. My dad, he just, he just went away. He just disappeared and then drowned. I just, I, it, it doesn’t make sense to me. I,

I am so grateful that you’re here, Lonnie. I’m so very, very grateful, even if it is for such a terrible, sad reason. Yeah, I’m grateful too. I am beyond grateful to be free, even if it is for a short time so that I can be here with my mama and my sister and my brother. Thing is, um, some part of me just, it just doesn’t, uh, just don’t feel that.

Dad is really gone. Mm-hmm. It’s so surreal. Yes, it is. It is. And oh, the way it happened. Oh Lord Lonnie, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe, I suppose partly because we, we didn’t get to say goodbye to him. Never got to see him touch him,

and how the hell are we supposed to have a proper home going when we don’t have a body?

Well, Chanel was intending to come over to visit with her. Step, pop, pop, step, pop, pop. Oh yeah. That’s a little, uh, pet name that she has for you. You love it when she calls you that and yet I cringe on you. Say it anyway. As I was just getting ready to say, Chanel has just been so swamped at the bakery, so, so another day is staring at the walls.

What, how luckily for you body and soul is fitting to get better. You’re about to meet Lorna. She’s back Who? That’s Lorna. Lorna is just one of the great soap bitches of all times. And trust me when I tell you, you gonna love to hate her. Check it out.

I know that it would help us all to accept what happened, but given a case like this, there’s just no telling when or. Even if his body will ever be found and yet, and yet what? Sweetheart? They didn’t waste any time declaring him dead, did they? Even though there’s no evidence to prove it for a fact.

Lonnie, no, Eli. I wanna see that evidence for myself. I wanna go down to the station. That’s against policy Mia, but you know, given the circumstances, I’m sure Ray wouldn’t, he wouldn’t mind and I don’t care if he would mind. Can we go now? Oh, wait a minute, darling. Lanie you. You’re out of prison today. It’s your anniversary.

You shouldn’t be spending at a police station, especially since nothing you find down there at that police station will bring a back to us. Mama. I have to see that evidence for myself. Or I will never sleep again. Paulina, look, when she gets like this, you just got I know. I know. There’s no changing her mind.

Tell me something. I don’t know. Thank you.

We’ll be back as soon as we can. Well, I’m gonna walk out with you. I need to head back over to the baby. You call me if you need anything. Okay? You gonna be all right alone. I think I should get used to it, don’t you? Hey, you too. I’m just about to call you. Look who’s here. Oh. Oh my goodness. Oh, good to see you.

I’m so sorry about your dad. Thank you. Good to see you kiddo. Be on. Sorry. I know how hard you work to find him. And you too. I’m very grateful. Dad was a good man. He one of the best. We loved him a lot. He knew that. He used to say. He used to say, okay. Do you wanna talk about this? No, actually, um, I think I should get going now.

Are you sure? You’re all right. Lonnie’s. Someone furlough. I’ll be fine. Lonnie’s here. Please, please give her a love and, and send her love to Paulina as well. Tell her to call us if there’s anything we can do. I will. It was nice to see you all again. Yeah, you too Sweet. Take kid. Come back anytime. Okay.

Goodness. Poor kid.

Damnit. Should have found him. You should have found him. We should have found him. You too are blaming yourselves entirely too much for this. You did everything you could. You searched and searched. Come on. You left no stone unturned. You did your very best. And I’m sure if were here, He would say the same thing.

It’s burned.

So that’s Lorna. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like I said, one of the greatest soaper bitches of all time, so large than life, so over the top. So outrageous that Susan Lucci and Heather Lockney are fired, their agents. Oh. Oh, okay. I wish I could sit here and watch with you five more minutes, but then I’ll be late for work.

Happy watching. Thanks. Oh, oh, oh. When I come home, I’m gonna need to hear all about your favorite cat fight.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most unstoppable of.

You okay?

Yeah,

it’s just, it’s really weird being back here. So many memories.

Mainly meeting my new partner. And falling in love with him, and him falling even more in love with you. Okay. And, uh, they got married. Mm-hmm. And they lived happily ever after. Okay. Okay. Fine. With a few challenges, but nothing that they couldn’t handle. Mm. Because they were tough. So tough. And so enough,

uh, you know, doc, you’re right. Steve and I, we busted our ass. We did our damnedest to find Abe. You know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking that maybe I’m just blaming myself because it’s a hell of a lot easier than accepting the fact that he’s gone. Yeah. It’s the same for me. Yeah. Hey, did I tell you I had another dream about him this morning?

I dreamt that I found him down on the docks, but he just walked away from me. Didn’t go in the water. He just walked away from me. You didn’t tell me that. I thought I did. Why don’t you tell me about the end of the dream, what, whatever details you can remember.

I was getting on my phone to call Paulina and

I hear Abe say that he was sorry that he couldn’t stay. I said, what do you mean by that? And he just said, goodbye, old friend. And he turned around and he walked off into the fog and I kept calling on him and he was gone.

What is it?

I was thinking that maybe just, maybe this is not really about John’s guilt, the dream. I mean, maybe it’s about. John’s something that, there’s something wrong here. That’s what I’ve been saying. Abe was injured, he had amnesia. How did he survive all those weeks? With no one seeing him looking after him.

Yeah. And this, this witness, the one and only person to see him is the one who watches him go in the water. That means eight had to get from wherever he was all the way down to the dock without anyone seeing him. We need to get back to work.

This is a lab report matching the blood from the pylon to AIDS blood sample that was on record at the hospital. D. Exact match. Exact match. Hmm.

When I first came to Salem, I just, I knew I was my biological father and I was determined to prove it. My mom said, you two weren’t together very long. She didn’t even tell me how you guys met. Well, she almost crashed into my car on her way to singing Friend’s Wedding Dr. Marlena Evans, they went to college together.

Yeah,

she, um, she doesn’t know about you either, Bonnie, didn’t you, you ever wonder who your father was? Of course I did. Probably thought he was some dent.

When your mother left Hannah,

I had no idea she was pregnant.

How could she not tell me I had a daughter?

I was wrong about the d n. But Abe, Abe is your father in every way that counts.

What else is in there? Here’s a statement from Jerry Prentice. He saw your dad go in the water.

What’s this? It looks like a professional photo. Yeah, detective Hunter dug that up. Turns out Jerry Prentice is an actor.

Oh, well that’s a little better.

You wanted to see me, Ms. DeLorean?

It’s about time you got here. I have a job for you.

What kind of job?

I need someone who could pretend to be the true and rightful heir to the DeLorean fortune, and that is where you come in.

Abe: Theo?

Paulina: Oh, Nurse King, what?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ] Okay. Hi. Hey. Thanks for coming by. Yeah, of course. I really appreciate you coming over on such short notice. Yeah. You know, it’s been a pretty busy morning. I just took scout to say goodbye to her father before he reported to prison. Then I spent the next hour consoling her because it was pretty hard to come up with something to say. She’s devastated. She just got her dad back, and now she’s lost him again. Sorry to show up unannounced like this. No, it’s alright. Uh, isn’t today… I start my sentence at pentonville today, yeah. Those judges are out for blood. Given the alternatives, I just, uh, made the best choice that I could make. Well, what brings you here instead of spending your last hours with your family? Unfinished business. So, there he is, back behind the desk. Gonna make it permanent?

[ Chuckles ] Been there, done that. Doesn’t mean you couldn’t do it again. Could get a lot of arguments in with your brother that way. Oh, I don’t have to be police commissioner to do that. Ha! I’m interim until someone can be appointed. But I’m glad you stopped by. Something interesting crossed my desk. Something I think you’d like to see. So, have a nice chat with dr. Montague, but don’t push yourself too hard. I know you’re itching to end the guardianship, but you can’t rush mental health. What in the world? I just got an e-mail from gellhorn jewelers. They’ve dropped the larceny charges against cody. Huh. I’m sure they have their reasons. And something tells me you know what they are. Scott: So, once you finally sign this affidavit, I can file it with the clerk’s office and we can get down to business with the wsb. Right. Yeah, business. Yes, and as you know, the wsb doesn’t like to have their cage rattled, so they’re probably gonna play hardball. Oh, hardball? Wait, are you saying that they’re gonna investigate me?

[ Sighs ] Well, you do know what the “s” in the wsb means. Security. Okay, yeah. No, I didn’t know that. Well, like most agencies, they thrive on intel. That’s their bread and butter. Is that gonna be a problem?

[ Monitor beeping ] How’d you sleep? Barely. I think I’m just too geared up to hear what dr. Randolph has to say today. I just heard that dr. Randolph won’t be meeting with us today. Does that mean we’ll have to wait to get the results? Apparently she’s sending somebody that is familiar with the case. Hey, willow, willow, look. You’ve been getting stronger every single day. We have to believe that it’s good news. This cancer journey’s been such a roller-coaster ride. I’m almost afraid to predict what will come next.

[ Knock on door, door opens ] Good. Good. You’re both here.

[ Door closes ] How are you feeling, willow? Pretty anxious at the moment. Glad to see you, though. Do you have the results? I asked dr. Randolph if I could deliver this news. It’s life-changing.


Friend, I felt thismight be better coming from me. And it’s my honor to report that the absolute neutrophil count we ran on you the last three days shows an anc of 500. And my platelet count? Holding steady at 30,000. Oh! Those are the markers that dr. Randolph said we needed for engraftment. Does this mean that — that liesl’s donated cells are creating new ones? From all accounts, the bone marrow transplant was a success.

[ Crying ] This — this is what we hoped for. Does this mean that willow’s in remission? Gellhorn jewelers dropped the charges against cody? Apparently the insurance company has determined that the clasp on the bracelet gladys was wearing that night was faulty. Faulty? Witness came forward. Says here a waiter found the bracelet in the dressing room and thought it belonged to the jacket above it. That’s weird. Yeah, well, our helpful waiter slipped the bracelet into cody’s pocket. Unfortunately, leading me to slip cody into a pair of handcuffs. Well, you were just doing your job, mac. Life’s bitter ironies. I, uh — I imagine myself cody’s father, not his arresting officer. Cody: I screwed up. I don’t know how to make it right. You lied… about the first dna results. You said the mac wasn’t your father when in actuality, he is. Well, hey, you know, at least it didn’t go any further. Uh, cody’s gonna be relieved. I-I’m gonna go see him right now, actually. Mind some company? I’d like to deliver the news myself. I’m no choirboy, scott. Well, who is? Listen, you don’t have to be squeaky clean to be on the winning side of a lawsuit. And I’ll drive home that point, and so you do a nickel upstate. A nickel? For what? Grand larceny. 5 to 10. Oh. Oh, right. The bracelet. Um, yeah, I-I — I don’t think that’s gonna be a problem. Really? Well, last time I checked, there were some charges pending from all that hoopla at the nurses’ ball. Yeah, something tells me those won’t stick. Good. Hey, you don’t have to tell me what’s going on. It’s gonna be worth it. Yeah. All it cost me was a new friend. You didn’t seemat all surprised or upset when I just told you that cody was in the clear. What’s going on, gladys? Okay, the insurance company contacted me about it earlier. Apparently a waiter found the bracelet and slipped it into cody’s jacket pocket. What? Yeah, the guy was in the dressing room and thought it fell out or something. I don’t know, but he admitted that he put it into cody’s pocket. I-I was gonna tell you after your appointment. Is that so? Oh, yeah. And is that all you’ve got to say? W-what do you mean? Are you finally ready to admit the truth, gladys? What truth? That you were wrong all along about cody. I said goodbye to most of the quartermaines already and been spending a lot of time with scout. In fact, I saw her this morning again. That must have been difficult. Yeah, I was hoping never to have to say goodbye to a child of mine again. At least with scout, it’s not forever. Does that have anything to do with the unfinished business? Yeah, this is, uh — it’s for ned — or eddie maine. I mean, I heard he was staying with you. I got to admit, I never saw that coming. You and me bo– whatever he calls himself. Here we are. Oh, that’s decent of you, sonny. I’m just hoping that, you know, his — I don’t know, his favorite guitar can help bring back some memories, some real memories. Well, that’s pretty decent of you. But you could have given it to him yourself. But he — he took off. Is that safe for him to be out? I got my eye on ned. And don’t worry about it. He’s not the only one. Carly: Drew’s the reason i reached out to you this morning. I want to know how you’re feeling about all this. Okay. And I want you to be honest with me. No holding back? No holding back. Right. I am, uh — I’m not happy about it. I’m actually pretty angry, carly. I wish drew would have made a different choice. So do I. Drew was determined to do this. He was very concerned about what a long fight would do to our families. No, I get that. I do. But drew deserves some peace and happiness, and yet he continues to sacrifice all of that. And he’s doing it again because — because of me.


I don’t blame you for feeling this way. I’m the one who bought the shares. It’s my fault. It is all on me.

[ Exhales deeply ] I thought that, too. At first. But not anymore. Carly, I mean, I realize you were trying to help drew and michael keep control of elq. You didn’t see this coming. But I should have. At the very least, I should have talked to a financial adviser or listened to michael and drew when they told me not to do anything. Instead, I went behind their back, which is classic me. Yeah, but you were not out for personal gain. You were just trying to help. I get it. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to hear you say this. I’d give anything to fix it. I want to fix it so bad for him. I know you do. But drew wants to fix this for you. Which speaks volumes as to how much drew really cares for you. I appreciate you stepping up, taking responsibility. ‘Cause I know they made you an offer… to flip on me and take me down. How did you know about that? Been doing this a long time. I know what you and carly did, and I’m sure she was target number one. You know my business. You know what I do, the things I — you know. You could have given them damaging information. You didn’t do it. Carly would never flip on you. Neither would I. Sonny, sacrificing you, that wasn’t even a consideration. This was my debt to pay. You protected her. You protected both of us. I’m not gonna forget that. I got some guys in pentonville that are gonna keep their eyes on you. I appreciate that. Hopefully I’m not gonna need it, but it’s good to know that it’s there. To a certain extent, there’s — there’s only — you know, I can only go so far. Keep your eyes open… and your chin up. Okay, I was wrong about cody. But he was wrong about me. I’m not some diabolical mother-in-law. I never said that you were. But why didn’t you tell me? Why did I have to get an e-mail from the jeweler? Honey, I-I was gonna tell you after your appointment. I-I-I just didn’t want to distract you. And I figured you’d be angry at me. Why would i be angry at you? Because I blamed your friend. Can you forgive me?

[ Sighs ] Of course. It was all a big misunderstanding. The person you should apologize to is cody. I’m ready for you, sasha. I hope this doesn’t cause problems for you and cody. There is no me and cody. You will have plenty of friends once you sign this affidavit. And you know what? All your friends, they’re gonna look like benjamin franklin. Here we go. Alright, so, you’re saying this affidavit will be enough to prove that I’m leopold taub’s son, right? Yes, yes, yes, it should be. I mean, taub has no living relatives. I-I — nobody’s gonna contest it. I think with this and your birth certificate, that’ll do the trick. Unless the wsb wants to go through the trouble of exhuming taub’s body. Wait. W-w– they would do that? Well, if they do, we could tack on another $10 million. Can you cry on cue?

[ Stammers ] What? Well, the wsb, they were very stupid and careless, you know, losing the — the necklace in the first place. Number two, you, the grief, the suffering that you’re gonna go through when they have to dig up dear old dad. Come on. That’s a pot of gold. I think we should push them to dig up dear old dad. No, no, no, no, no. God, no. Please — please don’T. It’s still too soon to say if I’m in remission, isn’t it? We need six months to a year to see if blood counts remain normal without an infusion. But we’re encouraged. There are no visible leukemia cells in the blood or bone. Really? That’s — that’s good. Very. Better still, these test results mean willow can go home. She doesn’t need a-a sterile environment anymore? Not strictly. Willow’s immune system is still compromised, so precautions will need to be taken. You’ll have to prepare your home per our instructions. Is — is this a dream?

[ Chuckles ] S-so, what, she’ll — she’ll be discharged in a — in a-a week, a couple of days? How’s a couple of hours? Once you get your meds and your instructions, you can go home. I will be home and in my own bed by the end of the day? This isn’t a good idea.


I mean, we need more time. The gatehouse isn’t ready. We still have to sterilize and prepare a space downstairs. You’re not climbing the stairs right away. I’m sure the quartermaine staff can help with that. Or we can stay somewhere else temporarily. I don’t care where I am, as long as I get to hold my babies again. Willow, I want that, too, more than anything. But is that safe right now? I mean, kids carry germs. We can’t risk infection. We’ve come this far. Shouldn’t we be following the best protocols for the long term? I hear you, michael. And, willow, he is right to be careful. The first year after a transplant, your immune system is like that of baby amelia’S. All your past vaccinations have been completely wiped out. So exposure to illnesses like chickenpox could be deadly. But we’ll — we’ll go over all of this. Of course. Yeah. Um… but it sounds like when I go home, I’ll still be in isolation. I think I realized the two of you were a couple before you even did. I’m happy for you both. I-I truly am. So if there really actually was no way out, I really appreciate the way drew stepped up for you. I mean, we need drew. But your family needs you, too. Thank you, sam. Thank you. I miss him so much already. I know.

[ Sighs ] Okay, you know, enough of this. Can I get my friend a cup of coffee? You sure can.

[ Laughs ] Especially since I haven’t had a cup all day today. What? I told you it’s been a busy day. So, yes, I will take you up on that offer. Oh! I find that hard to believe. I know you have bags of corinthos coffee at your house. Yeah, I do. But dante is the one who brews it ’cause he kind of does all things in the kitchen. Oh. Yeah. So it’s really his — oh. Um… I’M…so sorry. Hey. Yeah. Here you go. I’ll take that. Yeah. Um… okay. Carly.

[ Sighs ] If you need to talk… about my pending financial crisis? No, sam, I’ll pass. No, carly. About all that you’ve lost. What can I do for you, gladys? Oh. [ Chuckles ] New hobby? I don’t have a lot of time. Sorry. Um… yeah. Did you talk to sasha about not ending the guardianship? Yeah, I talked to her. And? And… I don’t blame you for being concerned. Sasha: Deception is having a banner year since we unveiled our new product, the deceptor. And I’m just feeling really engaged and useful. For the last 15 minutes, you have given me a laundry list of everything that’s right in your life and work. Things are back on track. Sasha, I don’t want you to view these sessions as just a way to prove yourself to me. I don’t understand. My chief purpose is to evaluate whether the judge should grant your petition to end your guardianship. But I’m also here to help. Which means I need you to be honest. Oh, I am. Work is going great, and I’m feeling more stable. I don’t doubt that. But you’ve seemed troubled since you walked through that door. You want to tell me what’s making you anxious? Sign it. It’s not gonna sign itself. Cody! We have news. Uh, what’s, uh — what’s the news? The, uh, company that insures gellhorn jewelers dropped the charges. Oh, that’s great. “That’s — that’s great.” That’s it? Man, you’re more excited about a chicken parmesan. Well, to be fair, mama q’s chicken parm is breaded to perfection with the perfect ratio of cheese to sauce. That’s true. Plus, I didn’t do it, so I knew I was innocent the whole time. What changed their minds? A witness stepped forward with new information that made it clear that you didn’t put the bracelet in your pocket. Ah! See, there you are. The truth prevails here, so it’s smooth sailing from here on. Excuse me, gentlemen. I’ve got to go file a document. Uh, cody, can I talk to you? Uh, yeah, sure. Can I talk to you, actually, for a minute?

[ Sighs ] No, no, no. Listen, I’m late. I got to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I’m sure you are. But I-I just wanted to know… what are you and cody up to?

[ Sighs ]

I’ve been spending half the time

for you to come and find me

don’t know exactly why

that I can’t feel free till I’m with you

you who

can stand me up like I’m ten feet tall

you who

turn around and you watch me fall

you who

can change a man into smoke

just light him up, take a toke

breathe out until he’s used

[ Handcuffs clicking ]

And you know it’s true appreciate the hospitality. Cyrus: It’s certainly not the metro court, but it may be one step up from a leaky makeshift prison on a greek island.


I’m glad the charges were dropped. I had to do it, even though it never set right with me having to arrest you. Don’t sweat it, mac, you know. I won’t hold it against you. Thanks. And I’m glad to see you and scott are on good terms, considering you punched the guy when you first came to town.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, scotty’s all right. So you — you trust him, then? Careful with that. That letter I saw cody sign, is that something to do with the jewelers, or is that something else? I’m not at liberty to talk about that. Why, are you representing him in another matter? Come on, you do know about lawyer-client privilege, right? You could have just said “yes.” So, what is it you’re accusing your friend of doing? Cody getting scammed by you. What isn’t making me anxious these days? Tell me more about that. Oh. I mean, I guess I just feel the pressure of getting all this right. Mm-hmm. I want to give my colleagues the support that I couldn’t last year. I want to strike the right life/work balance, be there for my friends, one of whom is battling leukemia. I want to recover relationships that I’ve lost. You don’t want much, do you?

[ Chuckles ] This all sounds normal, sasha. What you’re feeling is completely understandable. We all have varying levels of stress. There are many different ways to manage it. You ever tried meditation? I learned it when I went to rehab. But I prefer doing yoga. Oh, yoga’s great, but I want you to try 10 minutes of mindfulness without movement each day. I have an app I can recommend. Sounds good. I would like to feel more centered. I have something else for you. Be right back. Michael, your concerns are valid. But we’re not trying to keep willow away from the people she loves. We’ll have to exercise caution, especially at first. Only close physical contact with immediate family and a small, select number of friends. It’s crucial that you avoid close contact with anyone who could be sick — anyone. I advise you and your visitors to both wear masks during visits. Yeah, we’ll follow the instructions to the letter. We’re both terrified of taking a step backwards. Understandable. But you are well on the road to recovery. And you couldn’t have a better advocate than your husband here. My husband. That never gets old. A nurse will stop by with your medications and talk self-care and follow-up appointments. We can’t thank you enough, tj. I’m just the messenger. You are more than that. You’ve been with me from the start. You’ve been invaluable as a doctor and as a friend. Gonna go before I blush.

[ Chuckles ] Right. Could it be? Our nightmare’s over.

[ Both chuckle ] Maybe we’ll get our happily ever after, after all. I mean, to be honest, sam, it’s really hard for me to wrap my head around everything I’ve lost in the past two years. My husband. Jason. My hotel. Now drew. I mean, $5 million kind of pales in comparison. Ooh, $5 million? Yeah. That’s how much the sec is charging you? Do you have it? Well, even if I’m able to secure this loan without much collateral, I still can’t afford what I owe the government. Oh, carly, what are you gonna do? I don’t know. I don’t know. I mean… I’m sick thinking about what drew could be facing in prison. And I worry so much about what I’m gonna face out here. I don’t know.

[ Voice breaking ] I don’t know. Ohh. I am so sorry. Me too. But you know what really pisses me off? Drew and I are in this position purely because of spite. You clearly know who I am. Care to tell me who you are? I am your brother in christ. Even the metro court stopped including bibles in their bedside tables. Their mistake. “Blessed are ye who weep now, for ye shall laugh.” It gladdens my heart that you don’t weep over your circumstance. Yeah, well, I’ve learned that… time passes either way. Well said. My group would benefit from your outlook. We meet twice weekly in the library. Your group? Unlike other prison factions, our brotherhood is founded on shared values, not on prejudice or partisanship. And the minute I got word you were headed to pentonville, I knew your place was with us.


T, the gatehouse willbe spotless for your arrival. It’s still hard to believe that I’m going home. Well, believe it. And wiley and amelia will be waiting for you. All the q’s will want to visit. But don’t worry. I have no problem gate-keeping. Your health is all that matters. I’ll be good, I promise. But, uh, even I can’t keep away my mother or josslyn or brook lynn, for that matter, so… I wouldn’t want you to.

[ Chuckles ] So, shouldn’t just be my family on the visitor list. Who do you want to see? Sasha? Chase? Yes to both. But there might be someone else I want to add to that visitor’s list. Look, you don’t have to do this alone. You have people who can help you. I’m not gonna take a handout, sam. I’m not going — I’m not gonna take it from michael, josslyn, or sonny, especially sonny. But you have a child to support. What about donna? Well, thankfully, she will always be taken care of by her father. Well, what about donna’s mother? I mean, the stress that you must be under. Look, I’ve managed a setback before. I mean, losing the metro court, it was a real blow. But I handled it. And I will handle this. I-I just don’t know how yet, but I will. I admire your grit. That’s something we have in common.

[ Laughs ] Yes. Guilty as charged. We are both pretty self-reliant, aren’t we?

[ Laughs ] We are. But something that I’ve learned over the past several years is that it is okay to ask for help and to push your foolish pride aside. Sasha admitted she struggles with grief and she’s nervous about ending the guardianship. See? She’s not ready. It all seems realistic to me. There is nothing that sasha said to me that tells me she can’t handle herself. So if she’s ready and the doctor and the judge says yes, we are gonna stay out of her way.

[ Door opens ] My pa filled this for you. Take five milligrams three times daily. What is this? It’s a benzodiazepine. It’s a mild sedative. It’ll help you manage your anxiety. Take the edge off, so to speak. And it’s okay to take with my antidepressant? This class of drugs is often prescribed in conjunction. And is it habit-forming? Because I have a history. Dr. Montague: The drug can be habit-forming if used other than prescribed. But I will be monitoring your intake, and I am confident that you are far enough in your recovery that that won’t be a problem. Unless you feel otherwise, like you can’t be in control? Oh, no. I am in control. Totally. I’ve known cody a long time. Okay, he just got in the clear. I don’t want to see him getting into any new trouble. Listen, everything we’re working on is aboveboard. There’s no scheme here, detective. It seems like you’re always warning me about someone, mac. You mean like selina wu? Look, I’m not putting scott in selina’s category, but I do want you to be careful around her. But, hey, I told you I wouldn’t interfere, and I won’T. Scott’s my legal counsel, mac. That’s it. Sorry. I’m prying. Maybe you’re glad we’re not related. That way I won’t be on your case so much. It doesn’t mean I still don’t want what’s best for you, cody. So, why all the interest in me? Oh, don’t be so modest. Your story’s well-known. Business mogul, prominent family, philanthropist, navy seal hero-turned-prisoner- turned-free-man. Turned prisoner again. Yet one more chapter in your fascinating story. Far from the end. It is easy for faith to wither on the vine behind bars. I believe your presence at our meetings could help restore hope to some of our brothers. And I think you’ll find great comfort in this book of prayers. I’m sorry. I asked, but I didn’t catch your name. Just call me brother cy. Cy? As in cyrus? Renault. Laura’s brother. How is my dear sister? The cyrus renault whose drug trafficking caused overdoses and nearly killed sasha gilmore. My past is lamentable. And who tried to kill britt westbourne. Thank god I wasn’t successful. Well, you can thank my late brother jason morgan for that. And god help you if you approach me again.


Your dischargepaperwork is being processed. You can stay here as long as you need to sanitize your place. But you’re free to leave once you’ve reviewed all of your medications and instructions. Now, I can’t stress enough how important it is to protect your immune system. No visitors from any people not in your very limited bubble. We got it. Thank you. Thank you, tj. I am so happy for you guys. Take care. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] He has been a godsend through all this. So, is, uh, tj who you want to add to your bubble? Absolutely, yes. But I was thinking of someone else, and you might not be happy. Whoever you want, willow. I hope so. Because… I think my bubble should include nina. Maybe I am being prideful, but this is my mess. I have to clean it up. But I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let it crush me. I have risen from the ashes before. Well, I trust that you will get the clarity you need. As long as you keep that iron will, a roof over your head, and your freedom, you’ll think of something. You’re right. And thanks to you, I’ve figured out a way to use all three. She has no concept of how stressful it’ll be to be on her own. Having responsibility for her finances, having to make decisions where deception is concerned? I mean, she might buckle under the weight. Gladys… you’ve made your point. You don’t think sasha should end the guardianship. But you got to understand something. Okay. What? It’s not up to you anymore! Give it up!

[ Door closes ] You did good work today, sasha. If that continues, I’m confident I’ll be able to relay a positive report to the judge who’s hearing your petition. Thank you for listening to me, dr. Montague. That means everything, and it really helps me the most. Well, we all need support. Talk therapy, meditation, and that prescription I gave you are all parts of a consistent wellness plan. I’ll see you next week.

[ Door closes ] Hello, gladys. Did you — did you do it. Just as we discussed. Your daughter-in-law is on a new prescription regimen. It’s only a matter of time. You’re not having second thoughts? Because I can invent an excuse to have sasha bring back the medication. No. Let’s move forward. It’s the only move I have left. I want your word there’s nothing shady going on here, cody’s not gonna get burnt by whatever it is that he just signed that you’re about to file. What kind of a lawyer do you take me for? A sketchy one with a bag of tricks. Ah. No, this time it’s torts, not tricks. And just for your information, all lawyers have a sketchy bag of tricks. Tort? Like a civil lawsuit? Don’t worry about your friend cody. He’ll be fine. So long. I don’t mind you looking out for me, mac. It’s kind of nice, you know? Unnerving but nice. Well, then how about this? Don’t think of me as a cop. Think of me as a friend. I already do. Unlike us, the word of the lord is free. No strings attached. You’ll forgive me if I don’t believe that. Oh, I do. I am a believer in the power of forgiveness, as I am in second chances. Take the book. Don’t throw it away before you peruse its pages. You’ll find its lessons very useful.

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Victoria: Well, we are back to back meetings today, so I hope you got a good night’s rest.

Nate: I had a good night, but it had nothing to do with sleep.

Victoria: I’d like you to accompany me on several of these meetings, including brock this afternoon.

Nate: With the decarbonization company. He’s pitching a merger?

Victoria: Mm-hmm. I would prefer it be an acquisition.

Nate: Same page.

Victoria: Yes, well the board is giving me some pushback. They think it’s too risky.

Nate: The risk is undeniable, the downside is very real, but why not be ahead of the pack?

Victoria: Yes. Big. Bold. No limits. No safety nets. Have I told you lately how much I like the way you think? It’s like talking to myself, but it’s much more fun.

[ Both laughing ] Hey, I have an idea. Why don’t you take the babcock meeting this afternoon? The cfo can be a little, you know, hard-headed, but I’m sure it’s something you can handle. You could also head up the marketing team status conference? I think they could definitely use some fresh ideas in there.

[ Laughs ] What?

Nate: Those are very high profile.

Victoria: You’re onboard as the interim coo. I don’t see why that would be particularly unusual.

Nate: But we both know how a lot of people feel about me stepping in for nick. And me sitting in your chair. You’re making a hell of a statement with this move.

Victoria: I know. And I don’t care.

Audra: Soy latte, huh? I pegged you for a double macchiato kind of guy.

Kyle: I like to mix it up.

Audra: I remember.

Kyle: You excited? Today’s the big day. Taking on the role of ceo of newman media.

Audra: Acting ceo. The position is mine only as long as nate is needed to fill in for your father-in-law at newman enterprises.

Kyle: I wonder how nick feels about that?

Audra: I mean, he just went through hell. You know, I appreciate victoria looking out for nick. Giving him time and space to regroup.

Kyle: Looking out for him by replacing him.

Audra: Uh, sounds like you have an issue.

Kyle: Let’s just say I am very familiar with how the newman family takes care of their own and it doesn’t always have a whole lot to do with love.

Nikki: Adam, adam wait.

Adam: [ Sighing ] Nikki. What can I do for you?

Nikki: I am so very sorry for your loss.

Sharon: I’m not going to lie. That box from cameron has me freaked out. Everything I thought I was moving on from is front and center again. The idea of going to work, how would I ever focus? How’s sally?

Nick: I think I convinced her that she should stay home, get some rest. I’ll go and check on her just as soon as I make sure you’re settled.

Sharon: How could I ever feel settled with everything this maniac has hanging over me? Even from beyond the grave. What if there’s another box, nick? And another, and another? This guy is in my head and I hate him for it.

Nick: It could be the end of it, you know. His last gasp.

Sharon: It’s hard to believe there will ever be an end to cameron in my life. Leaving me his company? It’s like he knew he was going to die and he thought of everything he could to stay in my life.

Nick: He was one twisted son of a bitch.

Sharon: I hope he’s burning in hell. Sweet pillows of softness!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nate: So you know… I am totally prepped to spearhead the babcock meeting. Not just their financials. And you’re right about the cfo. I had done some digging and found some inside information about the guy. Likes, dislikes, quirks. And he’s got some doozies. So, I’ll proceed with those in mind.

Victoria: Why am I not surprised that you’ve already done research?

Nate: Because you know I’ll always have your back. So, of course, I know what’s on your calendar. I’ve been gathering intel so you’d be well armed.

Victoria: Excellent.

Nate: To have the power to change the course of this company… lives… the future. It’s intoxicating. Almost as intoxicating as the way you’re looking at me right now.

Audra: That sounded like you’ve gone a few rounds with a newman or two.

Kyle: Hm, more than a few. I don’t have a problem with most of them. Strong personalities, driven, know what they want. But when somebody crosses a line and somebody always does, things can get pretty extreme.

Audra: Well, coloring inside the lines never got anybody anywhere.

Kyle: Yeah, well, for the newman family, collateral damage is just part of the game, as long as they get what they want.

Audra: That fire can be productive. Or it can burn you.

Kyle: Speaking from experience?

Audra: Ah, let’s just say I’ve been singed more than a few times.

Kyle: You look like you recovered.

Audra: Yeah, you know, I– I used to let it get to me. I’d obsess over what could have been, should have been. But blew up. Maybe my fault. You know, maybe not. Then, you know, working with tucker mccall, you know, he was hardcore. Nothing would get in his way before he went all zen. At first I thought that made him soft, but then, you know, I realized that… that’s just given him more focus. Know what you want, hone in on it and the universe rewards you.

Kyle: So, you play nice and you get to go to the front of the line?

Audra: I didn’t say anything about playing nice.

Kyle: Hm.

Adam: Thank you for the condolences, but given your husband’s feelings for sally, you’ll understand if your sympathies feel a bit disingenuous.

Nikki: Adam, I am speaking to you as a fellow parent who has experienced loss. And it is unimaginable. The emptiness is overwhelming. Your vision of your future with your child has been taken from you.

Adam: Taken from me? No, no. Ask sally. This was my choice. Our little girl is dead because of me.

Nikki: That is not true.

Adam: Well, it is to sally and she hates me for it. I mean, our little girl didn’t even get to take a breath because of me.

Nikki: Adam, it was an impossible choice.

Adam: But, I mean, you can’t be surprised that I screwed up, right? ‘Cause I’m no hero, I’m not like nicholas.

Nikki: You saved her life.

Adam: Well, apparently, that doesn’t count.

Nikki: Yes, of course it does. And thank god you did.

Adam: God? God doesn’t factor into this equation because any god who makes someone choose between mother and child isn’t a god that I believe in.

Nikki: You’re angry and that’s understandable, but you cannot let it consume you.

Adam: I don’t know. It seems to be my comfort zone these days. But, nikki, if you will excuse me.

Nikki: Adam, listen. Listen. You have a bright, wonderful son who needs you and you have people who care about you. I hope you can hold onto that.

Sharon: I go to sleep and cameron is in my dreams. I wake up and I flinch at every little noise. I worry about every delivery. And faith, it takes everything in me not to call her every hour on the hour to make sure that she’s okay.

Nick: Yeah, I’m right there with you. But I’m worried about you too, sharon. You can say you’re fine and that you’re processing it and that there’s nothing for me to worry about, but that ends now. Tell me what’s going on.

Sharon: I killed that man. And I watched him die. It still haunts me.

Nick: You did what you had to do to save your daughter’s life. To save all of us.

Sharon: I know. And I don’t regret that. How could I? But it still pushes me to places I don’t want to go. I just want to stop seeing him everywhere I look and I don’t know how to make that happen. And I am so angry that this bastard has this much control over my life. How do I move on? How do I find peace?

Nick: I don’t, uh, have an answer for that, but… I’m here. All right? I’m all in. For whatever you need.

Sharon: I have an idea. But you would have to get your hands dirty.

Nick: Whatever it takes. If you’re taking an antidepressant

Adam: Mccall needs to be lean and mean. I want to sell off our deadweight and keep anything that can be weaponized against our competitors. And there is only one. Newman media and I want to crush them. I’ll call you back. What?

Victor: I just got a call from nikki. She’s worried about you. And so am I.

[ Phone chiming ]

Nikki: What on earth?

Victoria: You know, one way that I would like to expand is to grow our global commercial real estate. We already have a very strong presence in asia and in the middle east, but I’m hearing about some very interesting eu opportunities.

Nate: Sounds intriguing.

Victoria: Mm-hmm. And, you know, now that my kids are gonna be away at boarding school, it’s gonna give me time this fall to do some more in-depth research.

Nate: So, a business trip?

Victoria: Yeah. That’s what the jet’s for.

[ Nate laughing ] And you know, I know that our last business trip didn’t really go as planned, I understand that, but that’s behind us. We’re free to be together now and… it’s not gonna be all about business. We’re gonna have to absorb the local culture to get a feel for the different marketplaces.

Nate: The food, the night life, you. My bag is already packed.

[ Door opening ]

Nikki: Sorry for the interruption.

Victoria: No. Not at all.

Nikki: Nate. Would you excuse us? I need to speak with victoria alone.

Victoria: Mother!

Nate: All good. All good. I need to prep for the babcock meeting. Nikki, I will get the quarterly account receivables to you for your review. I think you’ll be pleased with the numbers.

Nikki: I am sure I will be. Thank you. He’s meeting with babcock alone?

Victoria: He’s prepared, he’s enthusiastic, he has a great attitude, unlike you.

Nikki: Is your intention to keep nicholas away from newman enterprises for good? (Wheezing)

Victoria: Of course I’m not boxing nick out. Why would you think that?

Nikki: I just found out that you dissolved nicholas’ support team. Now he has barely stepped away, on your orders, temporarily, but now you seem to be making moves that will be more permanent.

Victoria: You don’t understand.

Nikki: No, I don’T. Why don’t you explain it to me?

Victoria: Mother, this is a very fast paced business. It’s constantly evolving. You have to stay one step ahead. It’s not as though I fired nicholas’ team. I’ve just reassigned them to different departments so that they’re not sitting around collecting paychecks, waiting for nick to return.

Nikki: Why not have them continue in the same capacity for nate? Help him get acquainted with his job as acting coo while nicholas is gone.

Victoria: No. No, nate doesn’t need his hand held. He’s done the work. He knows the position.

[ Nikki chuckling ]

Nikki: I’m sure he’s been studying up for weeks.

Victoria: He’s very hands on.

Nikki: Oh, I have no doubt.

Victoria: His drive and his energy and his focus. He’s made it clear that he wants to take on more of the workload. He wants to be fully involved.

Nikki: Are you suggesting that nicholas wasn’t?

Victoria: Nicholas has and continues to have all these outside distractions that keep him from giving the 110% and that’s what we expect at newman.

Nikki: Wow. You have an answer for everything. But this doesn’t feel like a business move. It feels personal. A way for you to strike out at your brother.

Victoria: Mother, it’s not personal. It’s necessary. Nick’s team has shown that they’re not on board with our current agenda. And I– I’m sorry, but I have no other choice.

Nikki: I don’t even know what that means.

Victoria: Like nick, his team doesn’t see adam or mccall as a threat. Nate is willing to go up against mccall. That’s the kind of leadership that I’m looking for in my coo.

Nikki: I see. Well, as your co-ceo, I’m going on record and warning you that I find this to be very aggressive and unnecessary.

Victoria: It’s just good business. I wish you could see the larger picture.

Nikki: Oh, I can see all too clearly, victoria.

Victoria: So, whatever it is, you’re dying to say it, so go ahead.

Nikki: Is all of this retaliation because nicholas warned you about nate?

Victoria: I told you my logic.

Nikki: This has nothing to do with logic. This is about ashland.

Victoria: Don’t be ridiculous!

Nikki: Nicholas warned you time and time again about him, but you refused to listen. And he was right. I think deep down, you’re worried that he’s right this time as well.

Nick: I hope that gave you some freedom.

Sharon: I should have said something.

Nick: For cameron?

Sharon: No. His victims. All the people he hurt, the deaths he caused, the damage he did. Like that woman who lives in los angeles. The one he assaulted. I hope she knows that cameron’s dead and that he can never hurt her again and that she has found peace.

Nick: And you?

Sharon: It might take a little while longer. It’s not just the fear. The space cameron’s taking up in my head, but it’s the guilt.

Nick: The guilt?

Sharon: I brought this maniac into our lives. Our daughter was kidnapped. She might’ve been killed. All because of one stupid choice I made years ago.

Nick: You cannot blame yourself.

Sharon: How can I not? Faith, you know, as strong as she was through this ordeal, this is going to mark her. All of us. In ways we can’t even know yet. All of the psychology classes and degrees in the world can’t give me that answer.

Nick: You already know the answer. It’s love. You and faith are not alone in this. You have me and mariah and tessa and noah. So many people who love you both and will be there for you no matter what.

Sharon: We’re here for you, too.

Nick: Luckiest guy in the world.

[ Nick sighing ] You don’t want cameron’s business. Let’s get rid of this. Let’s throw it away and be done with it and cameron forever.

Sharon: Nick, wait. Watching all that misery turn to ash gave me an idea.

Audra: Newman media was an early adopter of ai. You know, but if we really ramp up, increase focus on using it as a distribution tool, set up algorithms to select content for our users, I mean, it could be a gamechanger for our metrics. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m probably boring you.

Kyle: That would be impossible.

Audra: You know, I– I’ve wanted this for so long. You know, to be at the table, just making decisions that can change everything. And it’s– it’s actually happening.

Kyle: I’m excited for you.

Audra: I’m excited for me, too. And I don’t know how long I’ll be ceo, but I’m going to light newman up every minute I’m there.

Kyle: No coloring in the lines for you.

Audra: Oh, no. The brighter, the bigger, the better. Uh, what’s wrong?

Kyle: Oh, you know, all this talk about coloring outside the lines has inspired me.

Audra: Okay?

Kyle: It’s a beautiful morning. Perfect time to live in the now.

Audra: If you’re gonna ask me something, you should just ask me. (Buzz) are you guys telling secrets?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. What can you do with sensitive skin?

Kyle: We don’t have time for what I want to ask you.

Audra: Good. Because the answer would be no.

Kyle: Oh, the big meeting.

Audra: Lots of them.

Kyle: Okay. How about later?

Audra: You are so–

Kyle: Charming? Irresistible?

Audra: Relentless.

Kyle: I’ll take it.

Audra: Put in your number. If I have time, I’ll call you.

Kyle: If you have time. There you go.

Audra: Don’t get your hopes up.

Kyle: You’ll call.

Audra: Oh.

[ Audra chuckling ]

Victor: I gotta tell you, I am deeply sympathetic and so is nikki to both of you and sally. Loss of a child is just unimaginable.

Adam: If you say it’s better this way or if everything happens for a reason, I’m out of here.

Victor: Son, I’m just here to find out how you’re coping. And I wanna know if there’s anything we can do to help you.

Adam: [ Sighing ] I’m– I’m good.

Victor: No, you’re not. Be honest with me. You and sally are going through hell right now.

Adam: The only time you’ve said sally’s name was like a curse. So, now you care about sally?

Victor: Son, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Not on my worst enemy. And I saw the joy on her face, and the joy on your face, anticipating the birth of your child.

Adam: Well, good news for you, she never wants to see me again. So, I guess you can take the win on this one, okay? Nikki already gave me the “don’t be angry” talk. She said let it go. Focus on connor. On the people who love me. I mean, what a laugh that is, right? Not exactly a popular guy these days. I mean, not ever, come to think about it. But at least I have my work, right? Is that where I should thank you?

Victor: I don’t want you to thank me. I’m here to tell you how to best get over your grief. You should throw all of your energies, all of your mental capacity into building mccall into the powerhouse it can be.

Adam: Yes. And the potential’s there.

Victor: Yes.

Adam: So, first, we clean house. And anyone who is loyal to tucker’s gonna get a severance package. And then we’re gonna focus on infrastructure. The entertainment divisions are gonna stay. Anything else is gonna be jettisoned and we’re gonna use that profit to focus on horizontal diversification. Specifically, the media divisions.

Victor: So, you’re gonna go after newman.

Adam: It’s good to have goals, right?

Victor: That doesn’t mean that you go after the newman media division.

Adam: I built that company. I made it. And I want it back.

Victor: Is that what this is about?

Adam: Pretty much.

Victor: Or, is it about you wanting to recapture the wonderful days you had with sally at newman media? Hm?

Adam: I appreciate the armchair analysis, but this is strictly about business.

Victor: Let me tell you something. Trying to recapture those days is a mistake. And so is attacking newman media.

Adam: I think that it is brilliant.

Victor: My boy… newman media is part of the newman family portfolio. Don’t mess with that.

Nick: So, you’re interested in cameron’s company?

Sharon: Not so much his company.

Nick: You lost me.

Sharon: What I could do with it. Kirsten incorporated is a tech company. It must have assets and some capital, right?

Nick: I’m sure it has some value. Unless it imploded during kirsten’s years in prison.

Sharon: What if I could take that value and make something good out of this nightmare? There has to be something that I can do with this that would make a difference in people’s lives. Either turning a profit with the company or maybe selling it out right. Donating all the proceeds to charity.

Nick: I like the sound of that.

Sharon: Who knows? Maybe if I take control of cameron’s company, I take back the power he has over me and my life. My actions, my reactions. Instead of running away from who cameron was and what he did, I will transform that hate and anger and fear into an opportunity to help people.

Nick: You just thought of that right now?

Sharon: Maybe I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. You know, the past few years have made me consider what I want out of my life. What my purpose is. And rey was an influence in that. You know, he always made the right choice, even if it was unpopular. He wanted to make a difference every single day and he did so. And now I want that. I’m ready for that. And you’re right. It has everything to do with love. I have been so blessed all my life with so much love. Such an amazing support system of friends and family who have been there for me through everything. Battling cancer, learning how to live with bipolar and now… this horror with cameron. As much as he terrorized me, maybe the gift of this nightmare is that I have found the strength that I’d forgotten I have.

Nick: I think you’re one of the strongest people I know.

Sharon: Well, I lost myself. For a little while there, I did some things, I hurt some people, but I own that. And those things made me who I am, but they are not all I am. And maybe this… is a gift. It’s time for a new direction. It’s time for a new future. With downy infusions,

Victoria: How could you bring up ashland?

Nikki: It seems very appropriate given the circumstances.

Victoria: My god, mom! Every time I do something that you and dad don’t approve of, it’s like you throw that name at me! It’s almost like you enjoy rubbing that awful mistake in my face.

Nikki: The only reason I mentioned it was to try to get through to you.

Victoria: Well,

[ Sighing ] Message received. If there’s nothing else, I have a very full day today.

Nikki: Victoria, I am just trying to understand. You’ve forced nicholas to take a leave of absence he doesn’t want, you got rid of his staff and now you seem to be preparing for and all-out war with adam.

Victoria: A war that he’s starting.

Nikki: You have a responsibility to the board, young lady, and the family.

Victoria: I know that!

Nikki: Oh, do you? You’ve alienated nicholas, you’re going after adam. And nate is just cheering you on.

Victoria: Nate is supporting me. Which is a lot more than I can say about my own family right now!

Nikki: How do you think your father is going to react to this?

Victoria: If he would listen me instead of jumping to conclusions and judging me, maybe we could have a conversation about it.

Nate: Sorry to interrupt. The meeting with babcock is set. I wanted to brief you. And you, nikki, as well, of course.

Nikki: I have work to do. Victoria can fill me in. Excuse me.

Nate: Your mother’s not too pleased with the changes.

Victoria: Well, if you’re not pissing people off, then you’re not doing it right.

[ Knocking at door ] Come in.

Audra: Hi, I know you’re crazy busy, but I wanted to give you an update on some new directives that I want to put in place for, uh, newman media. Building off of nate’s plans.

Nate: Time for a quick meeting?

Victoria: Sure. I don’t see why not. Let’s see what you’ve learned from your boss.

Adam: Look, I’m your son, I’m not your puppet.

Victor: I’m concerned about you.

Adam: Well, you shouldn’t be, okay? I’m fine. Especially if people stop telling me how to act, how to feel, what to think, okay? Because I’ve never been clearer on what I want and how to get it.

Victor: Son, you’re running on emotions. That’s not a good thing. When you’re trying to rebuild a company into the powerhouse that it can be. Let me give you a piece of advice. Whenever you make a business decision, keep emotions out of it.

Adam: Okay, well, thank you for the advice that I didn’t need, but I’m gonna run mccall the way that I see fit.

[ Victor sighing ]

Victor: Always a smart alec, right? I offered to be your sounding board. I offered for you to take advantage of the vast experience I have in building companies. That can change in an instant. Don’t forget that.

Adam: So, are you threatening me, now?

Victor: You take that any way you want. But I’m telling you… I’m not your enemy. I’m the biggest supporter you have. Don’t mess with it.

Kyle: Gerard? It’s kyle abbott. I’d like to have some flowers delivered. No! No, not to marchetti. These are for an audra charles. She’s staying at the athletic club. Uh, I’m thinking… something a little wild and gorgeous, unique. That sounds good. And the note, um… “from one overachiever to another, thanks for showing me your moves.” No– no name. She’ll know. Oh, gerrard. Um… I’d like some earrings as well. I’m thinking diamonds. Yes. Just charge it to my account. Thanks.

[ Kyle sighing ]

I have type 2 diabetes, I got this $1,000 camera for only $41 on dealdash. Dealdash.Com, online auctions since 2009. This playstation 5 sold for only 50 cents. This ipad pro sold for less than $34. And this nintendo switch, sold for less than $20. I got this kitchenaid stand mixer for only $56. I got this bbq smoker for 26 bucks. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. Join me in the

Victoria: You have really done your homework. Not that I would expect anything less.

Nate: Out of the park, audra. I’m looking forward to these next steps.

Audra: I plan to blow you away. All right, well, I have the crawford pictures meeting to prep for, but I’ll keep you updated.

Nate: Thank you again for taking on those negotiations. They are going to love you.

Audra: That’s the goal.

Victoria: Good work, audra. Thank you.

Audra: Thank you.

Nate: That one is gold. The fire, the energy, the drive. And the creativity? I couldn’t ask for a better acting ceo at newman media.

Victoria: Well, she’s definitely on the top of her game, but she’s only there because you put her there.

Nate: I am very excited for this next phase of newman media and newman enterprises. I think the restructuring will make all the difference.

Victoria: And with audra doing so beautifully at newman media, we are free to focus on making sure that mccall is nothing but misery for adam.

Nikki: Oh, I hope I’m not interrupting.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Nikki: Hi.

Adam: Uh, no. We just finished. Good chat.

Victor: All right, son.

Adam: As always.

Nikki: Well, I’m glad you were able to catch up with adam. How was he?

[ Victor exhaling ]

Victor: He’s stuffing down his anger and his grief. No good. It’ll backfire. And then he wants to take down newman media. And that’s a very bad combination.

Nikki: I’m almost as worried about victoria.

Victor: Why?

Nikki: She has completely sidelined nicholas. Restructured his support team to suit nate. She’s getting ready to go to battle with tucker mccall, again, with nate’s backing. I mean, he is feeding her sense of power and she will not listen to anyone else.

Victor: Oh, boy. Oh, boy. That means that victoria and adam are aiming for a head-on collision.

Nick: You know, all the years I’ve known you, sharon, one thing never changes. You always manage to surprise me.

Sharon: Well, get ready. Because I have no idea what the future holds, but it’s going to surprise me, too. I can’t wait to share this with mariah and tessa. Not just the idea, but this very moment. The shift from fear to empowerment. Going from being afraid, wanting to hide and stay safe, to… trusting myself. And following my instincts, wherever they lead. Finding that strength that was always there. I want to teach them that there is always a way to come back from those dark moments. Not just come back, but flourish. Everything changes now.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: You can’t do that. I thought I made myself clear back in rome. Look, I– I know you’re going through a lot right now. You’re freaking out about what you saw, hope and thomas kissing and maybe you think that you made a mistake putting your trust in hope. I– I don’t know, but I feel bad for you. I– I really do. But you can’t come here and kiss me. I am a married woman, liam. Happily married.Ed to respect that.

Rj: You’re serious? He– liam flew all the way to rome and then he came back without saying a word to you? ‘Cause he saw you in the colosseum kissing thomas?

Ridge: Thomas.

Thomas: Hey, dad.

Ridge: You know what these are?

Thomas: I do not.

Ridge: These are the orders from rome. Lots of orders from rome. Your commitment to hope for the future really paid off. Proud of you.

Thomas: Thank you.

Ridge: Hope’s gotta feel pretty good about the choice she made.

Thomas: What do you mean?

Ridge: Asking you to come back to work. It couldn’t have been easy for her knowing how liam feels about you. But I gotta say, even liam’s gotta agree that this was the right thing after everything that happened with you and hope in rome. You’re important to her. Made a big impact in her life.

Hope: I have a feeling liam will leave me because of this.

Rj: No, come on.

Hope: Really? I mean, he has. He’s already– he’s gone and I don’t know if or when he’s ever going to come back, so–

Brooke: Hope, I was wondering– oh!

Rj: Hey.

Brooke: Hi, rj. Everything okay? What’s wrong? What’s going on?

Rj: This has to come from you, not me.

Hope: Um… [ Chuckling ] Okay. I… I think my marriage might be over.

Brooke: What?

Hope: Yeah. Liam walked out.

Brooke: Walked out?

Hope: On me. On our marriage. I think it’s over.

Steffy: Look, when you kissed me before, as– as crazy as that was, I was willing to forgive it, understand it. You were extremely upset. You saw hope and thomas kissing and you reacted impulsively. That I could let go. I could pretend like it never happened. I was hoping that we would never talk about it again, but it looks like we do need to talk about it.

Liam: No, I– I know. I– you’re right. I– I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. I– I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but it doesn’t solve anything. And you– you’re– you’re happily married like you said. You have a family that you love.

Steffy: Okay. Okay. Whatever this is, you need to snap out of it because this could never, ever happen again. Hey, dad. I got an a on my book report.

Ridge: Could you have imagined that a year ago, a year ago, could you have imagined that a month ago, you and hope would be doing what you did in rome?

Thomas: I used to think about it a lot. What we could achieve. You know, it’s hard to think that it actually happened.

Ridge: But do you know why it happened?

Thomas: My unbelievable talent.

Ridge: No. It’s because you earned her trust and you earned her respect. And not just professionally, but personally. And that showed in your work.

Thomas: It’s good to know that she has faith in me.

Ridge: She’s not the only one. Son, I hate to bring this up, but I am– I’m so glad that you’ve gotten over this obsession with hope. It’s good to see you here. I have my son back. Believe it or not, people really like that guy.

Brooke: Hope, this doesn’t make sense. What reason would liam have to leave you? He adores you and he loves his family very much.

Hope: Oh, I know. I know that, mom. And that’s just making it even harder.

Brooke: Okay. Why don’t you just tell me what happened?

Hope: Rome happened.

Brooke: Rome was a success.

Hope: For the line, yes.

Brooke: But liam should be very proud of you, honey. What happened in rome that would make him wanna walk out on you? I mean, he wasn’t even there.

Hope: He– he was actually.

Brooke: What?

Hope: Yeah, he came and he wanted to surprise me.

Brooke: Oh, I didn’t see him there.

Rj: Just tell her. She’s not gonna judge you.

Brooke: Hope?

Hope: No, I– I never saw liam either, but I guess he– he saw me. With thomas.

Brooke: With thomas? What does he have to do with this? Oh, okay. What did thomas do now?

Steffy: We have both moved on, both remarried. I am in a relationship, one where I feel safe, loved and respected.

Liam: I don’T. I haven’t felt that way in a long time and hope never respected my wishes about her working with a damn maniac no offense.

Steffy: Offense taken. Please do not insult my brother. He has worked really hard on himself.

Liam: Okay. You’re right. I’m sorry. But honestly, how many times has thomas insulted me? How many times has he trashed me? How many times has– how many different ways has he targeted me and my marriage and my family? How much pain and suffering has he caused? How– how could hope stand to be anywhere near that? Let alone wanna– wanna touch him and kiss him. Thomas? Really? Your brother? Really? How– how could she want that? How?

Steffy: I don’t know. I– I really don’t know what to say, what I can do to comfort you, but it’s definitely not with this kiss, that I do know. I understand that you’re hurt and you feel betrayed, but that doesn’t justify turning to me. Look, I– I wanna help you through this and I will help you through this. Liam… look, I believe that you and hope will find your way back to each other. I really do. Or not. Either way, you can’t just come here and kiss me. Look, we’re always gonna be close. We’re kelly’s parents. But that is all.

Liam: Yeah.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Thomas: Wow. That’s coming together fast.

Ridge: Yeah. Huh? Well, maybe watching brooke, uh, model inspired me again. I don’t know.

Thomas: Oh, that’s a little weird, but keep ’em coming nonetheless.

Ridge: Thomas?

Thomas: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Thanks again.

Thomas: For what?

Ridge: For understanding. Maybe even in your own way, supporting me and brooke getting back together.

Thomas: Well, if that is not a sign that I have changed, I don’t know what is.

Ridge: I know this isn’t easy for you, not easy for your sister, and I know it’s not easy for your mom, but I’m trying. At least hope is in a good place. It’s a start.

Brooke: Ah! I knew it. I knew thomas would be a problem. I mean, all this talk of bettering himself and working so hard to make himself a better person, going to therapy, that was all a lie. What did he do? What did he do to make liam wanna walk out on you?

Hope: He didn’t do anything, mom. It was me.

Brooke: What could you have done, sweetie?

Hope: Well, uh…

[ Chuckling ] You called it. You know, you saw it coming a million miles away that there’s just something in me, I guess, that makes me want to cross that line and I, um, I kissed the one man that could destroy everything.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: So, you kissed thomas.

Steffy: Liam, I know you don’t wanna hear this, but you gotta forgive hope. I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy. It isn’T. But you and hope have a beautiful family and you need to think about beth.

Liam: Was hope thinking about beth when she was sticking her tongue down your brother’s throat?

Steffy: Okay. Liam, you gotta figure out a way to get through this pain and forgive her.

Liam: Yeah, but I can’t, so.

Steffy: People make mistakes. We both know that.

Liam: Yeah. No, I know that. I’ve made plenty.

Steffy: Mistakes hope’s forgiven you for.

Liam: Yeah. Well, maybe she’s a better person than I am. I don’t know. But looking forward, how am I supposed to exist with thomas as a constant presence in my life and my marriage after this? And it’s not just co-parenting douglas, it’s working together with hope on the line. It’s–

Steffy: Maybe that changes. Maybe hope leaves forrester creations and thomas takes over and she can focus on your marriage and prove that she’s committed to you.

Liam: Steffy, hope is not gonna do that. And even if she did, I don’t know how it would work. I don’t know how I’d be able to trust. It– it’s just– it’s– it’s too painful given everything that thomas has done. And for her to still want to– uh, I just– I can’T. I’m done. I’m done. But I– but I didn’t mean to upset you and I am really sorry for my behavior. Kayaking is my thing.

Thomas: We are in rome.

Everything is a feast

for the eyes.

What do you wanna do?

Hope: Let’s go out and see

the city before we have to go

back to our normal

everyday lives.

You can’t leave rome without

seeing the colosseum.

I– I think this

might easily be

one of the greatest days

of my life.

Brooke: Just tell me that thomas did this, honey. He coerced you into kissing him, right?

Hope: Mom, thomas didn’t do anything. It was me. I was the one who kissed someone that I never should have. I was the one who acted irresponsibly, recklessly– [ Chuckling ] Inappropriately. I mean, that’s me, right? That’s who I’ve become now. Turning to a man that I should be disgusted by.

Brooke: Honey, is this what you want? You want a life with thomas?

Hope: No. No. I want– I want my husband. I want our life together. I want– I love him. I love our kids and I don’t know why– why I would risk losing everything. I mean, I am not proud of this, mom. I take full responsibility. This is on me and I am ashamed and I am embarrassed by it.

[ Voice breaking ] And I want more than anything to just save my marriage. I don’t wanna lose it. I don’t want to give up on it. And I don’t wanna give up on liam.

Liam: I really do mean it, steffy. I’m– I’m sorry I did that.

Steffy: I’m glad to hear that because if you think there was ever a chance that I would leave finn and go back to you… I’m married and so are you.

Liam: Not for much longer.

Steffy: Well, I’m– I’m sorry about that. I truly am, but I like my life and my marriage and I’m not changing that for anything. So my advice, go back to hope. She asked for forgiveness, right?

Liam: Yeah, she did.

Steffy: Okay. Well, go back to her. Go back to hope and your family and what happened here today and in rome, we don’t talk about that again, okay? Get outta here. Go back to your wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Being at the hospital with me must have been difficult, but it, it meant a lot to me. I’m glad I could be there. Not as glad as I am.

Erica, you know, I should, I should go get that food for you. You’re to look a little pal.

What the hell have I walked in on? Oh, Leo Star. I never thought I’d say this, but thank God you are here. Well, I don’t mean to kink shame, but what is going on here? Oh, well, you know, playing cops and robbers can get a little outta hand, seriously. Of, of course not you, imbecile. Our sister, Megan did this to us.

She’s held US cap down here for weeks, weeks. Oh my gosh. I knew it. I knew it. You knew? Well, I knew she was up to something, so I followed her here. Lady Whistleblower can always sniff out a good story, and you’d be surprised how more often than not my nose leads me to uncovering an underground bondage dungeon just like yours.

Oh god. All right. This isn’t a bondage dungeon, huh? Well, I should hope not. It’s not usually siblings. I find all tied up together. So why did Megan do this to you? Because we found out that she was planning on

well out with it. Handsome planning on what? Uh,

I don’t, I don’t remember.

Hey, where is the host? I mean, people are starting to get a little restless Honored. Guests welcome. Now please accept my apologies for the delay. In order to make this a really special night tonight, I had to bring a bottle of my father’s very favorite champagne. Just took me a little longer to get it than I expected, but I’m here now and I’m so glad that you are all here too.

Because there is nothing in this world more important than family is there. I am so grateful that you have all welcomed me back into your bosom,

and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to host this lovely gathering for my newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. And I just know that father is smiling down on us now. Happy to see us all together again. Well, at least most of us. Yeah, very few of us. And yes, I know that we have our differences, but we overcome them, don’t we?

That’s what families do. Well, normal family is like yours. My sister Megan, she’s an assassin. Thomas Banks had to kill us. So all those things are a little bit hard to overcome. Mm-hmm. I’m so sorry for all of the lost years that we could have spent together, but I look forward to the many, many happy years to come.

And now I want everyone to grab a glass of champagne so we can toast the happy couple, the lovely Gabriela and my charming brother Stephan. Oh my God. Harris Michaels, what the hell are you doing here?

Sorry, Kate. Commander Michaels is in accepting calls at this time. He’s under new management and Megan and Ivory, give him his first assignment. Eliminate Stephan Demara.

Sorry to interrupt the festivities, but I’m gonna need everyone to move to that side of the room right now. No sudden movements. Let’s go. I’d hate for my friend here cause I have to start barking orders. Michaels, what are you doing? I’m here to eliminate a threat. What threat? Oh my God, don’t you see? I’m the threat.

He’s here to kill me.

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

This looks delicious. Well, Harold, he did most of the work, but for the record, I did toast the toast. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. I was just gonna say how toasty the toast looks. I think you found your new calling. You know what? Drink some tea. Stay hydrated. The doctor’s orders. Okay.

Oh yeah. It’s the spot. It’s even worth all your nagging. I’m looking out for you and the baby. Yeah, only the baby’s father was so attentive. Eric, I, I, I really do appreciate your help, but EJ should be the one doing this instead of being on some secret business trip where he couldn’t even be bothered to answer his phone.

Well, I’m sure he has his reasons. Well, they’re not gonna be good enough. It’s like he’s forgotten what’s important. This baby isn’t even born yet. He’s already abandoned us.

You don’t remember? Come on. This isn’t like your locker combination, Sean, but let me think. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Ah, it’s like the memory is evaporated from my brain. I, I know something should be there, but it’s not. I, I, I dunno. What do you think? Hm? What do you think? What do I think? Hm. Um, oh, I, I think that Megan injected us with something.

She’d make us forget, forget what her plan. Uh, uh, probably, um, the thing is, is that I have no idea what, uh, what, you know, what? I, I don’t even, I don’t know any of this. I might have a vague idea. Does it have something to do with her son, Dimitri? What about it? Well, he proposed to my best friend Gwen, but I think he and mommy dearest have an ulterior motive.

Does any of that ring a bell? Oh, actually, I. It does sound familiar.

It’s all happening right upstairs. Soon Stefan will be dead. And I’ll be there to pick up the pieces for Gabby Lee.

What doing here?

Can’t you see? This man wants revenge for everything that I did to him. He even came to my house a couple of weeks ago and threatened me. Mother, why didn’t you tell me? I, I thought he was all talk that it was just a hollow threat. I didn’t realize that he was this terrain enough. No, Michaels. You wanna hurt my mother?

You’re gonna go through me first. No, Dimitri, stay outta this. Relax. I’m not here to kill either one of you. Oh, thank God. I’m here to kill Stephan.

You’re here to kill Stephan. Yeah, I don’t understand. You don’t even know me. I assure you, Mr. Damara, there’s nothing personal. I’m just following orders. Whose orders?

I can’t. Just watch him do this. We’ll call the police.

Drop it. I’m sorry.

Next person I see with the phone will not get a warning. Is that understood?

This can go one of two ways. Everybody can do as they’re told and survive the night, or I can take out as many people as I have to to complete my mission. Okay. You said earlier you were eliminating a threat. How am I a threat to you? Isn’t it obvious, Stephan? I mean, who would consider you a threat?

No. Yeah. It has to be EJ who, who’s conveniently not at this party, who’s been plotting against you this entire time, who would be crazy enough to hire this lunatic to take you out. Is that true? Did my brother hire you? Answer me, dammit.

Fine. If you must know

it wasn’t ej I. And who, who are you working for?

The man who wants you dead is Lee Chen. What? What?

I didn’t hear you sneak up on me. Oh, I’m not sneaking up on anyone. I’m just trying to go to my sister’s engagement party. Running a little late, aren’t you? Yeah. Well, things have been a little hectic down at the station. Of course, I heard about Mayor Carver. I’m so sorry. Uh, you still haven’t answered to my question.

What are you doing lurking about? No one’s lurking, but I was just, uh, passing through. Yeah. Seemed a little nervous to be just passing through. I’m not, you were thinking about going up there. Weren’t you crashing the party, creating a scene?

Fine. You got me. Commissioner Guilty’s charged.

Okay. Okay. I was right. Lady. Whistleblower strikes again. Megan and her son aren’t just using Gwen, but why? I, I, I don’t remember. Damn it. Woman. What you think? Don’t get your hands off of you. Little creep. Listen, you’re friends with Gwen too, don’t you wanna help her? Something tells me that my sister’s plan is a lot more sinister than manipulating your friend.

I, I feel like it’s more high stakes, like it’s life or death. Are you saying Gwen is in danger? I feel like someone else is the main target. Like who? I don’t know. It’s just a gut feeling. Oh my God, you two are useless. Oh no. You know who is useless. You found us ages ago and you still haven’t UNT yet. It would help if you asked nicely unless you wanna fully commit to your non day plume lady.

I suggest you untie us now. I even say, please, no. Hey,

I’m sorry. I am sure the last thing you wanna hear is me complaining about ej. It’s okay. I mean, you have every right to be angry. Look, you, you, you should go. Don’t feel obligated to stay it. I don’t feel obligated. And you know what? You shouldn’t be alone right now. No, I, I told you the cramps turned out to be nothing trip.

And the ob g y n said that I’m fine. And so is the baby besides Harold’s here if I need anything. Are you sure? I’m sure.

All right. Okay, thanks. Listen, thanks again. I, I am grateful. That I can still count on You always.

I can’t do this. I’m with ej.

Hi. Yeah. Well then where is he?

I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry. I just, I felt that old pool between us and those old feelings of being abandoned and worthless. Okay. You shouldn’t feel either. And he jay’s a jackass for doing this to you. And if that baby were mine,

I’m sorry. That’s not helpful.

That’s okay. You would’ve been the perfect father

and you still can be if things work out with you. And Sloane,

thank you for saying that. It’s the truth.

Speaking of which, I have some hard truths to face with EJ if I ever see him again. That is, And if I do or when I do, I don’t know if I can forgive him for this disappearing when I need him the most. I am gonna kill when I right there. Oh, Nicole. Thank God, ej,

we put you up to this. Is that so hard to believe? Apparently the guy still has something for you. And, and that maniac thinks that killing my fiance is the way to win bad my love. I believe it’s more of a, if I can’t have her then good job. Ralph Harris is convinced he’s working solely for Lee. Just as I planned, we’re we’re just as supposed to believe a crazy man with a gun.

Look, I know my brother and he would never hire someone to kill Stephan. He’s not a murderer. He did pull the plug on me when I was in a coma that was different. Okay. Making a split second mistake is a whole lot different than plotting to murder someone in cold blood because he says something you, you know, that’s not Lee.

Well, Stefan’s, right? Lee has a history of trying to eliminate his competition by any means necessary, but my brother has accepted that you moved on Gabby. I mean, he didn’t even fight to the divorce. He let you go. Wendy. Wendy, when we ran into Lee earlier tonight, he insisted you not come to this party.

That was just. About loyalty to him. Yeah. Boy, he didn’t want you getting caught up in the crossfire.

Lee, you need to stay away from this party. Do you hear me? Do you understand you have caused Gabby enough pain already? I know you’re right. I, it’s just, it’s just what Lee, I ran into my sister and Johnny Damara as they were headed in, and Gabby and Stephan, and honestly I tried to be happy for them, but seeing them, knowing what’s going on in there, I just can’t get it outta my head.

What could have been. I loved your sister so much. I still do. Okay. I hear you and I understand because I have been in a similar situation myself, but what you need to understand is what you and Gabby had before it is over. You need to accept that.

You can’t just willow away feelings brave. Sure you know that even now. Right now, knowing how happy they are up there just breaks my heart.

So it’s true. Lee put you up to this. Why would I lie? What the hell happened to, to turning your life around wanting redemption for all of the terrible things that you, this isn’t you, is it? You’ve been brainwashed again. This time by Lee Shin. No, you’re right. Chad Lee’s done this before. He, he brainwashed han into forgetting that he loved me and now he’s brainwashed hairs into becoming his assassin.

Owens Town hasn’t been brainwashed. Ah, it’s sort of a thing here. Just wait until somebody pulls off a Mission Impossible style mask. Mid party crash. Right? Shut up, everyone. Shut up. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

All I know is I have orders from Lee to kill you.

It’s about that time.

Aj, you’re here. Yes. Thank God I’m here with you. Um, when did you get back in town? I never left. What? Megan locked me in the tunnel. Hey, hey. US, us struck us in the tunnels. Okay. Why would she do that? We don’t know, but we’re pretty sure she gave us something that’s affecting our memories. Good God. How did you escape?

Well, I mean, thankfully Leo Stark found us and he set us free. Leo Stark? Yeah. What was he doing down there? No idea. I don’t remember.

Ah, Megan must be using this as her base of operations, so there has got to be something down here.

Oh my Gaga, jackpot pot. This is the good stuff. Ancestral wealth tear bubbly. No legal focused. No. Today you are a hero. You have got to find proof that Dimitri is up to no good. It’s the only way to stop going from getting hurt. Okay?

No. Oh, I can’t watch Michael’s. Michaels. Michaels. Just stop. All right. You don’t wanna do this. Orders are orders. But you don’t have to follow them. Whatever Lee did to you, Michaels fight it. Do not listen to Lee’s voice in your head. Michaels, you listen to your own. Okay? Deep down, you know this is wrong.

Think about that time that you set that bomb off at my apartment in Seattle. You felt terrible about that after you broke free from the brainwashing. You hated Megan for doing that to you. Um, how about we don’t remind the man with the gun how much he hates me? Please, please don’t let me make you do this.

You’re not a murderer. Um, actually, technically he is a murderer. I read his case and there were several instances where. Sorry, I have an idea. Let, let me get Lee on the phone and you know what? You probably think I’m gonna call 9 1 1. You get him on the phone and let me just talk to him right now. I can talk him out of this.

Please, please.

Thanks Ray. As much as I’m hurting, Hoda just made it worse. Humiliating myself at Gabby and Seven’s party. Nah, I’m glad you stopped me. I didn’t do it for you. Well, either way, you helped me and I appreciate it and I promise I’m headed straight home. Good. Give my congratulations to the happy couple.

Fair enough. Goodnight Lee.

Hopefully by the time you get up there, it’ll be too late. The job will have been completed.

Please let me call Lee. I I can straighten this up. Drop the phone, but Gabby’s right, she and I can make my brother realize what a mistake this is just two minutes. I said drop the phone right now, Gabby. Just do what he says. But Gabby,

I didn’t, I didn’t want to hurt Lee. Okay. Just my, my heart belongs to Stephan. He’s the only person that’s ever understood me, the real me. Everything I am and love me for it, not in spite of it. So if you shoot him, then you have to shoot me too, Gabby. Yes, please. I cannot live without him. Okay. I can’t. I can’t.

So please, I’m telling you, please don’t do this. Please don’t. I’m sorry, but I have no choice.

What happened?

Mother,

you shot me.

There’s just so much blood. Um, it’s okay. Um. I’m, I’m gonna go get help. Just keep putting pressure on it. Okay. I’ll be back. Hang on.

Why haven’t I heard from Megan? Steph should be good and dead by now.

Kevin, what are you doing here? Are you supposed to be your engagement party? I was there. I was there, and then Harris Michael showed up and killed Stephan. Oh my God. He didn’t hurt you, did he? No. You must be devastated. I was at first. Then I realized, Harry said me a favor. Did you A, did you a favor? What do you mean?

I thought, I love Stephan. But now that he’s gone, I realize you’re the only man ever truly loved. Wait, wait, wait. Don’t you need time to mourn? I can mourn Stephan tomorrow to tonight. I want you to rish me.

Hurry home to me, Gabby. You gotta let me go. I get a job to do him sit. Michael said that Lee ordered him to kill Stephan. We suspected, uh, that Lee brainwashed him. Lee dammit saw Lee outside. He was staring up here. Yeah, I thought he was going to come up here and wreak havoc and make a fool of himself.

Obviously it was much worse.

Okay. Um, the paramedics are on their way. She’s still unconscious. Okay. Don’t give up hope. Okay. She’s soon gonna get the help she needs. Mm-hmm. Hey, You all right.

Okay. Let’s get you outta here. Let’s go. Come on. How were you thinking going after him? Like that you could have gotten yourself killed. No, he was trying to kill you. You and he’s, how about thank you for saving my life. You were amazingly brave. You’re my hero. You Thank you for saving my life. And you are amazingly brave, but please.

Don’t do something that reckless ever again. No. I had to stop him. I couldn’t lose you. Not again. It’s okay. It’s okay now. He tried to keep us apart again and he failed again. Nothing can separate us. You and I, were gonna get married. We’re gonna have a long, wonderful life together and Lee is gonna pay for this and so is everybody else who helped him out.

So Megan held you to prisoner this whole time evil sadistic bitch, but you texted me. No, no, I, I did not. How I wish I could have, it must have been Megan using my phone obviously. Well, that explains why you didn’t answer my calls,

ej. I, I thought you abandoned me and the baby. Nicole. Nicole, I will never abandon you. You and this baby mean everything to me. You hear me? Everything.

Did you meet with a specialist? I did. And. She thinks that I can carry this baby to term. Oh my God, that’s wonderful news. That’s wonderful news. After all these years, we’re finally going to have a child together.

Mm.

I feel so much better after that shower. It helped clear some of the fogginess outta my head. Hey Jay, we really should have a doctor take a look at you. I mean, Megan’s drugs could have some side effects. We will. But first I want to address the elephant in the room. What do you mean? I think you know, Eric, what about him?

What was he doing here? Well, trust me, he came over for a very good reason, and, and we will talk about that, just not now. Okay. The, but the point is it, it was a blessing in disguise because I got some cramping. He took me to the hospital and, and everything’s fine. Everything’s fine. But Eric wanted to stay because, well, you, you weren’t around so I disappeared.

You thought the worst of me, that I didn’t care about you all. Al child, and you turned to Eric. No, it’s not how it went. Ej, you know how I feel about you. Do I, I mean, a few weeks ago I told you that I love you and you, you haven’t set it back.

I know, and I’m sorry. And when I think about how Megan could have killed you, I realize that I,

I do. I I love you.

You look skeptical. I, I just feel like I might have talked you into saying that. No, I pressured you. I hate to No, you, you didn’t. I, I, I said it because I feel it. You are the father of my child and the man I wanna be with. And if you don’t believe me, And maybe this will convince you, oh, I’m here. Mm-hmm.

Yes. I, I would like to report a kidnapping. Uh, my brother and I, ugh, ugh. My wicked witch of a sister. Actually, no. I, I don’t remember how it happened. No, no, no, no. I’m not kidding. Why would I joke about something so serious? You know, I just, just hold on. I, my brother. DJ.

Well, so much for being boy’s hero. At least I got this lovely souvenir. Uh, I just wish those two bozos could remember what Megan and Dimitri are up to. So I could tell my poorly diluted BFF before it’s too late. She would dump that miserable SOB and never look back.

Dimitri. Yeah. How’s your mom? They managed to keep her stable in the ambulance, and then they just rushed her straight into surgery as soon as we got here. When she just, she, she looked so pale. She, she was so fragile. Listen to me. She cheated death once, didn’t she? Mm-hmm. She’s, she’s gonna do it again.

Thank you. Thank you for your support. I’m sure you want to get home and I, I totally understand Dave. No, no, I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying here.

You have to let me go. It’s not gonna happen. I promise. Ray, if I’d look after you until back up. A squad car just pulled up. Police should be here any minute. I have a mission to complete. Michael’s the mission’s over. You failed

Dr. Ralphs handy work. Yeah, I’d bet. Good money on it. Poor guy. Can’t catch a break. First, he’s brainwashed by Megan. Now, lay shin.

I can’t believe my brother did something so crazy when I, uh, when I lost Chanel to my sister, I was so desperate to get her back. I almost did something very underhanded. Did you brainwash a Navy seal to kill Allie? No, of course not. You’re not a criminal heartless bastard with no conscience.

There’s no excuse for the horrible, unforgivable thing my brother did, none at all, and now he’s going have to face the consequences.

What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at your engagement party? I was there, but it ended early when Harris Michael showed up with a gun. What? Why? To kill Stephan. Oh my God, Gabby, I’m so sorry. Poor Stephan. I Lee. Don’t bury me just yet. Stephan. Thank God you’re okay. Drop the act. You son of a bitch.

I have to go. What? Act please. Chin. You go under arrest for the attempted murder of Stephan Damira.

Recap written by Eva

Sharon: Who’s there?

Nick: It’s nick. Morning.

Sharon: New job, delivery man?

Nick: Oh, yeah, nick’s courier service. On time or we keep it.

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

Nick: You know, I always did love that necklace.

Sharon: Well, you gave it to me a million years ago.

Nick: Well, I have excellent taste.

Sharon: You do. You know, you didn’t have to come here and check on me. Which I know is the reason why you’re here. I’m fine. Just like I was last night when we spoke on the phone.

Nick: Well, you did that thing where you politely blow me off because you don’t want me to worry about you, so I figured the best thing I can do is just crash your place and eyeball you and see how you’re doing. So, how are you?

“The Cage” (unaired pilot)

PIKE: What the devil are you putting in there, ice?
BOYCE: Who wants a warm martini?
PIKE: What makes you think I need one?
BOYCE: Sometimes a man’ll tell his bartender things he’ll never tell his doctor.

COLT: But you wanted the reports by oh five hundred. It’s oh five hundred now, sir.
PIKE: Oh, I see. Thank you.
NUMBER ONE: She’s replacing your former yeoman, sir.
PIKE: She does a good job, all right. It’s just that I can’t get used to having a woman on the bridge. No offence, Lieutenant. You’re different, of course.

VINA: You’re no better choice. They’d have more luck crossing him with a computer.
NUMBER ONE: Well, shall we do a little time computation? There was a Vina listed on that expedition as an adult crewman. Now, adding eighteen years to your age then…

COLT: Sir, I was wondering. Just curious. Who would have been Eve?
NUMBER ONE: Yeoman! You’ve delivered your report.
COLT: Yes, ma’am. Yes, sir.
TYLER: Eve, sir? Yes, sir.
BOYCE: Eve as in Adam?
PIKE: As in all ship’s doctors are dirty old men. What are we running here, a cadet ship, Number One? Are we ready or not?

“The Man Trap”

KIRK: Shall we pick some flowers, Doctor? When a man visits an old girlfriend she usually expects something like that.
MCCOY: Is that how you get girls to like you, by bribing them?

KIRK: Something wrong, Darnell?
DARNELL: Excuse me sir but, ma’am, if I didn’t know better I would swear you were someone I left behind on Wrigley’s Pleasure Planet. It’s funny, you’re exactly like a girl that
MCCOY: A little less mouth, Darnell.
DARNELL: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I mean, I know it’s impossible, of course.
KIRK: Why don’t you step outside, Darnell.
DARNELL: Yes, sir. Thank you, sir.
KIRK: Maybe I’ll step outside, too.
NANCY: What? And let Plum examine me all alone?
KIRK: Plum?
MCCOY: Plum.
NANCY: A nickname I gave Leonard when we were very young.

MCCOY: I’m pleased you’re doing well but I’m required to confirm that fact.
CRATER: Doubtless the good surgeon will enjoy prodding and poking us with his arcane machinery. Go away, we don’t want you.

KIRK: Quote. All research personnel on alien planets are required to have their health certified by a starship surgeon at one year intervals. Like it or not, Professor, as commander of the starship, I’m required
CRATER: To show your gold braid to everyone. You love it, don’t you.
KIRK: He’s all yours, Plum. Doctor McCoy.

MCCOY: I’m not joking, Jim. She hasn’t aged a day. She doesn’t have a grey hair on her head.
KIRK: She’s got some grey, Bones. Excuse me, Professor, she’s a handsome woman, yes, but hardly twenty five.

MCCOY: Open your mouth.
CRATER: Why, I thought the machine
MCCOY: The machine is capable of almost anything but I’ll still put my trust in a healthy set of tonsils. Now, open your mouth.

SPOCK: Miss Uhura, your last sub-space log contained an error in the frequencies column.
UHURA: Mister Spock, sometimes I think if I hear that word frequency once more, I’ll cry.
SPOCK: Cry?
UHURA: I was just trying to start a conversation.
SPOCK: Well, since it is illogical for a communications officer to resent the word frequency, I have no answer.
UHURA: No, you have an answer. I’m an illogical woman who’s beginning to feel too much a part of that communications console. Why don’t you tell me I’m an attractive young lady, or ask me if I’ve ever been in love? Tell me how your planet Vulcan looks on a lazy evening when the moon is full.
SPOCK: Vulcan has no moon, Miss Uhura.
UHURA: I’m not surprised, Mister Spock.

UHURA: I don’t believe it.
SPOCK: Explain.
UHURA: You explain. That means that somebody is dead and you just sit there. It could be Captain Kirk. He’s the closest thing you have to a friend.
SPOCK: Lieutenant, my demonstration of concern will not change what happened. The transporter room is very well-manned and they will call if they need my assistance.

UHURA: Message, Captain. Starship base on Caran 4 requesting explanation of our delay here, sir. Space Commander Dominguez says we have supplies he urgently needs.
KIRK: Tell Jose he’ll get his chili peppers when we get there. Tell him they’re prime Mexican reds. I handpicked them myself, but he won’t die if he goes a few more days without them. Got it?
UHURA: Got it, Captain.

MCCOY: I thought it was, sir. Another error on my part.
KIRK: I’m not counting them, Bones. Are you in the mood for an apology?
MCCOY: Oh, forget it. I probably was mooning over her. I should have been thinking about my job.

CRATER: And your esteemed physician cannot explain our need for salt tablets?
KIRK: We’re all aware of the need for salt on a hot and arid planet like this, Professor, but it’s a mystery, and I don’t like mysteries. They give me a bellyache and I’ve got a beauty right now.

KIRK: We can’t search this whole planet on foot.
MCCOY: Jim!
KIRK: You could learn something from Mister Spock, Doctor. Stop thinking with your glands. We’ve equipment aboard the Enterprise that could pinpoint a match lit anywhere on this planet, or the heat of a body. Transporter room, Kirk speaking. Three to beam up.

RAND: Why don’t you go chase an asteroid?
REDSHIRT: Hey, Janice, is that for me?
RAND: Don’t you wish it was?
BLUESHIRT: How about that?
REDSHIRT: Yeah, how’d you like to have her as your personal yeoman?

RAND: Where are you, Sulu?
SULU: In here feeding the weepers, Janice.
RAND: I’ve got your tray.
SULU: May the Great Bird of the Galaxy bless your planet.
RAND: Thank you. Hello, Beauregard. How are you today, darling?
SULU: Her name’s Gertrude.
RAND: No, it’s a he plant. A girl can tell.
SULU: Why do people have to call inanimate objects she, like she’s a fast ship.
RAND: He is not an inanimate object. He’s so animate he makes me nervous. In fact, I keep expecting one of these plants of yours to grab me.
SULU: Hello, Green.
RAND: He’s not talking today. You been nipping saurian brandy or something?

UHURA: Crewman, do I know you?
CREWMAN: In a way, ma’am. You were just thinking of someone like me. I’m guessing of course, but you do look a little lonely.
UHURA: I see. So naturally, when I’m lonely I think of you.
CREWMAN: Ina cuvanea mwanamke turee.
UHURA: Una kafeeri Hur. You’re Swahili?

KIRK: What’s the matter, can’t you sleep?
MCCOY: Nope.
KIRK: Try taking one of those red pills you gave me last week. You’ll sleep.

MCCOY: The creature leading you a merry chase, Mister Sulu?
SULU: The creature?
MCCOY: Or whatever it is that’s killing the crewmen. Perhaps I can help. Fill me in.

KIRK: You bleed too much, Crater. You’re too pure and noble. Are you saving the last of its kind or has this become Crater’s private heaven, here on this planet? This thing becomes wife, lover, best friend, wise man, fool, idol, slave. It isn’t a bad life to have everyone in the universe at your beck and call, and you win all the arguments.
CRATER: You don’t understand.

KIRK: Dead. But it had you, too.
SPOCK: Fortunately, my ancestors spawned in another ocean than yours did. My blood cells are quite different.

KIRK: Move aside, Bones.
MCCOY: What’s going on here, Jim?
KIRK: She’s not Nancy, Bones.
MCCOY: Are you insane?

“Charlie X”

KIRK: Yeoman Rand, this is Charles Evans. Show him to his quarters and drop his records off at Doctor McCoy’s office, if you will.
RAND: Yes, sir. Come with me, please.
CHARLIE: Are you a girl? Is that a girl?
KIRK: That’s a girl.

CHARLIE: Some, the other ship, they didn’t like me. I tried. I’m trying to make people like me. I want them to like me.
MCCOY: Most seventeen year olds do.

CHARLIE: You got a deal, friend. (slaps her bottom)
RAND: Charlie!
CHARLIE: I thought. Don’t be angry. I didn’t, I wanted.
RAND: Charlie, you, you, you just don’t go around slapping girls on the… It’s okay, but, er, just don’t do it again.
CHARLIE: Don’t be angry.
RAND: Look, why don’t you tell Captain Kirk or Doctor McCoy what you did. They’ll explain it to you. Okay?

KIRK: Thank you. He’s working out a training programme for Charlie Evans. Earth history, his own background, that sort of thing. I’d like you to give him the necessary medical orientation on the problems of, um, er, adolescence.
MCCOY: Well, don’t you think it’d be better for a strong father image like you? He already looks up to you.
KIRK: The job is yours, Bones. Flattery will get you nowhere.

CHARLIE: Well, in the corridor I saw. When Janice, when Yeoman Rand was… (slaps Kirk’s bottom) I did that to her. She didn’t like it. She said you’d explain it to me.
KIRK: Me. I see. Well, um, er, there are things you can do with a lady, er, Charlie, that you er. There’s no right way to hit a woman. I mean, man to man is one thing, but, er, man and woman, er, it’s, er, it’s, er. Well it’s, er, another thing. Do you understand?
CHARLIE: I don’t know.

CHARLIE: Can I talk to you, alone.
RAND: Charlie, Tina’s–
TINA: Excuse me. I must be wanted somewhere.
RAND: That was, that was rude and completely uncalled-for.

KIRK: Charlie, there are a million things in this universe you can have and there are a million things you can’t have. It’s no fun facing that, but that’s the way things are.
CHARLIE: Then what am I going to do?
KIRK: Hang on tight and survive. Everybody does.

KIRK: Go to your quarters.
CHARLIE: He was going to hurt me.
KIRK: Go to your quarters or I’ll pick you up and carry you there.

CHARLIE: Well, they weren’t nice to me! They wanted to get rid of me. They don’t now.
KIRK: What about us, Charlie?
CHARLIE: I don’t know.
(Charlie leaves)
SPOCK: We’re in the hands of an adolescent.

KIRK: Mister Spock, you getting any readings on your instruments?
SPOCK: Yes, sir. There’s a Tyger, tyger, burning bright in the forest of the night.
KIRK: Mister Spock.
SPOCK: I’m trying to Saturn rings around my head, down a road that’s Martian red.

SPOCK: Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered, weak and weary.
CHARLIE: Very nice, Mister Ears. Oh, I can make him do anything, whirl around, laugh, anything.
KIRK: That’s enough, Charlie.
CHARLIE: Don’t you think he’s funny? I think he’s funny.

KIRK: Are you creating that message, Charlie, or you’re blocking one that’s coming in.
CHARLIE: It’s my game, Captain. You have to find out. Like you said, that’s how the game’s played.

CHARLIE: I can make you all go away anytime I want to.
KIRK: Get out of my chair, Charlie, and get out of it now.
CHARLIE: I’ve got your ship, Captain.

CHARLIE: I won’t do it again. Please, I’ll be good. I won’t ever do it again. I’m sorry about the Antares. I’m sorry! When I came aboard–! Please, I want to go with you. Help me!
KIRK: The boy belongs with his own kind.

“Where No Man Has Gone Before”

KIRK: Have I ever mentioned you play a very irritating game of chess, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Irritating? Ah, yes. One of your Earth emotions.
KIRK: Certain you don’t know what irritation is?
SPOCK: The fact one of my ancestors married a human female
KIRK: Terrible having bad blood like that.

DEHNER: lf there was an emergency, I’d be interested in how that crew reacted, too.
MITCHELL: Improving the breed, Doctor? Is that your line?
DEHNER: I heard that’s more your specialty, Commander, line included.
MITCHELL: Walking freezer unit.

KIRK: I’ve been worried about you ever since that night on Deneb IV.
MITCHELL: Yeah, she was nova, that one. Not nearly as many after-effects this time, except for the eyes. They kind of stare back at me when I’m shaving.

MITCHELL: Well, I’m getting a chance to read some of that longhair stuff you like. Hey man, I remember you back at the Academy. A stack of books with legs. The first thing I ever heard from an upperclassman was, watch out for Lieutenant Kirk. In his class, you either think or sink.
KIRK: I wasn’t that bad, was I?
MITCHELL: If I hadn’t aimed that little blonde lab technician at you…
KIRK: You what? You planned that?
MITCHELL: Well, you wanted me to think, didn’t you? I outlined her whole campaign for her.
KIRK: I almost married her!

KIRK: I’m going to ask Doctor Dehner to keep you under observation for a while.
MITCHELL: With almost a hundred women on board, you can do better than that, friend Captain.
KIRK: Consider it a challenge.

MITCHELL: I’ve got nothing against you, Doctor.
DEHNER: Nor against the walking freezer unit?
MITCHELL: Well, I… sorry about that.

SPOCK: Our subject is not Gary Mitchell. Our concern is, rather, what he is mutating into.
DEHNER: I know those from your planet aren’t suppose to have feelings like we do, Mister Spock, but to talk that way about a man you’ve worked next to for years is worse than
KIRK: That’s enough, Doctor.
DEHNER: I don’t think so. I understand you least of all. Gary told me that you’ve been friends since he joined the service, that you asked for him aboard your first command.

SPOCK: We’ll never reach an Earth base with him aboard, Jim. You heard the mathematics of it. In a month he’ll have as much in common with us as we’d have with a ship full of white mice.
KIRK: I need a recommendation, Spock, not vague warnings.
SPOCK: Recommendation one. There’s a planet a few light days away from here. Delta Vega. It has a lithium cracking station. We may be able to adapt some of its power packs to our engines.

SPOCK: It is your only other choice, assuming you make it while you still have time.
KIRK: Will you try for one moment to feel? At least act like you’ve got a heart. We’re talking about Gary.

MITCHELL: My friend James Kirk. remember those rodent things on Dimorus? The poisoned darts they threw? I took one meant for you.
KIRK: And almost died. I remember.
MITCHELL: So why be afraid of me now?
KIRK: You’ve been testing your ability to take over the Enterprise. In the transporter room, you said something about us seeming like insects by comparison, squashing us if we got in your way.

KIRK: Doctor Dehner feels he isn’t that dangerous. What makes you right and a trained psychiatrist wrong?
SPOCK: Because she feels. I don’t. All I know is logic. In my opinion we’ll be lucky if we can repair this ship and get away in time.

MITCHELL: A visitor. A very foolish man. You’ll enjoy being a god, Elizabeth. Blasphemy? No. Let there be food. Kaferian apples. Whenever we visited that planet, I always favoured these. Can you hear me, James? You cannot see me. I’m not there. You follow the right path, James. You’ll come to me soon.
DEHNER: I can see him in my mind, too.

KIRK: Did you hear him joke about compassion? Above all else, a god needs compassion. Mitchell! Elizabeth.
DEHNER: What do you know about gods?
KIRK: Then let’s talk about humans, about our frailties. As powerful as he gets, he’ll have all that inside him.

SPOCK: I felt for him, too.
KIRK: I believe there’s some hope for you after all, Mister Spock.

“The Naked Time”

MCCOY: You’re fine, Joe. Up and out of there. Mister Spock? Your pulse is two hundred and forty two, your blood pressure is practically nonexistent, assuming you call that green stuff in your veins blood.
SPOCK: The readings are perfectly normal for me, Doctor, thank you, and as for my anatomy being different from yours, I am delighted. Captain.

SULU: Foil. It’s a rapier. A thin sword.
RILEY: All right. So what do you do with it?
SULU: What do you mean, what do you do with it?
RILEY: Self-defence? Mayhem? Shish kebab?
SULU: You practice.
RILEY: For what?
SULU: Hi, Joey.
RILEY: Last week it was botany he was trying to get me interested in. I was supposed to be collecting leaves, plant specimens.
SULU: Your attitude is all wrong. Fencing tones the muscle, sharpens the eye, improves the posture. You tell him, Joey. Explain to him. Hey, Joey. You feeling all right?
TORMOLEN: Get off me! You don’t rank me and you don’t have pointed ears, so just get off my neck!

SULU: Don’t know if it’s this planet or what happened with Joe. I’m sweating like a bridegroom.
RILEY: Yeah, me too.
SULU: Hey, why don’t you come down to the gym with me, Kevin m’lad?
RILEY: Now?
SULU: Why not? Light workout will take the edge off.
RILEY: Sulu, what about. Hey, Sulu, don’t be a fool!

SPOCK: You haven’t answered my question. Where is Mister Sulu?
RILEY: Have no fear, O’Riley’s here. One Irishman is worth ten thousand of you
SPOCK: You’re relieved, Mister Riley. Lieutenant Uhura, take over this station.
UHURA: Yes, sir.
RILEY: Now that’s what I like. Let the women work too. Universal suffrage.
SPOCK: Report to Sickbay, Mister Riley.
RILEY: Sickbay? Exactly where I was heading, sir.

RILEY: You know something? You have such lovely eyes, pretty lady. (touches her face)
CHAPEL: I know he was a friend of yours. This must be a terrible shock.
RILEY: You know what Joe’s mistake was? He wasn’t born an Irishman.

UHURA: Sir, level two, corridor three reports a disturbance. Mister Sulu chasing crewmen with a sword.

KIRK: Mister Scott, acknowledge. Our controls are dead. Take her.
SULU: Richelieu, at last.
KIRK: Sulu, put that (discovers that the point is sharp) put that thing away.
SULU: For honour, Queen, and France! (lunges)
UHURA: Sulu.
SULU: Ah.
UHURA: Sulu, give me that.
SULU: I’ll protect you, fair maiden.
UHURA: Sorry, neither.
SULU: Foul Richelieu. (distracted by Uhura’s escape, Kirk is able to grab Sulu and Spock does a neck-pinch)
KIRK: I’d like you to teach me that sometime.
SPOCK: Take D’Artagnon here to Sickbay.

RILEY: You rang, sir?
KIRK: Who’s this?
RILEY: This is Captain Kevin Thomas Riley of the starship Enterprise. And who is this?
KIRK: This is Captain Kirk. Get out of the engine room, navigator. Where’s Mister Scott?
RILEY: I’ve relieved Mister Scott of his duties. Now, attention, cooks. This is your captain speaking. I would like double portions of ice cream for the entire crew.
KIRK: Clear that tube, will you?
UHURA: Yes, sir.
RILEY: And now, your captain will render an ancient Irish favourite. (sings) I’ll take you home again Kathleen
SPOCK: Captain. At our present rate of descent, we have less than twenty minutes before we enter planet atmosphere.
KIRK: And burn up. I know, Mister Spock.
RILEY: Wild and wide to where your heart…

RILEY: Lieutenant Uhura and you interrupted my song. I’m sorry, but there’ll be no ice cream for you tonight.
KIRK: Cut him off.
UHURA: I can’t, sir. There’s no way to do it.
RILEY: Attention, crew. This is Captain Riley. There will be a formal dance in the bowling alley at nineteen hundred hours tonight.

RILEY: This is Captain Riley. Crew, I have some additional orders. In the future, all female crew members will wear their hair loosely, about their shoulders. And use restraint in putting on your makeup. Women, women should not look made up. And now, crew, I will render Kathleen one more time!
KIRK: Please, not again.
RILEY: (singing) I’ll take you home again, Kathleen (meanwhile, Scott is working in a Jefferies tube) I’ve watched them fade away and die.
SCOTT: I’ve set the jumpers up there. Stand by ’til I give you a signal.
RILEY: And tears bedim your loving eyes. Oh, I will take you home Kathleen.

RAND: I would have gotten here sooner, sir but Crewman Moody stopped me in the hallway.
KIRK: Take the helm.
RAND: Sir?
KIRK: Take the helm!
RAND: Yes, sir.
RILEY: Kathleen. And now, crew, one more time!
KIRK: At least try cutting him off!
UHURA: Sir, if I could cut him off, don’t you think I–
RILEY: I’ll take you home again Kathleen
UHURA: Yes, sir. I’ll keep trying.
KIRK: Sorry.
RILEY: Across the ocean wild and wide…

KIRK: Where have you been? What happened?
SPOCK: My mother. I could never tell her I loved her.
KIRK: We’ve got four minutes, maybe five.
SPOCK: An Earth woman, living on a planet where love, emotion, is bad taste.
KIRK: We’ve got to risk a full-power start. The engines were shut off. No time to regenerate them. Do you hear me? We’ve got to risk a full-power start!
SPOCK: I respected my father, our customs. I was ashamed of my Earth blood. (Kirk slaps him) Jim, when I feel friendship for you, I’m ashamed.
KIRK: (hitting him repeatedly) You’ve got to hear me! We need a formula. We’ve got to risk implosion!
SPOCK: t’s never been done! Understand, Jim. I’ve spent a whole lifetime learning to hide my feelings. (finally hits Kirk back)
KIRK: We’ve got to risk implosion. It’s our only chance.
SPOCK: It’s never been done.

KIRK: I’ve got it, the disease. Love. You’re better off without it, and I’m better off without mine. This vessel, I give, she takes. She won’t permit me my life. I’ve got to live hers.
SPOCK: Jim.
KIRK: I have a beautiful yeoman. Have you noticed her, Mister Spock? You’re allowed to notice her. The Captain’s not permitted
SPOCK: Jim, there is an intermix formula.
KIRK: Now I know why it’s called she…
SPOCK: It’s never been tested. It’s a theoretical relationship between time and antimatter.
KIRK: Flesh woman to touch, to hold. A beach to walk on. A few days, no braid on my shoulder.
SCOTT: Captain.
KIRK: Scotty, help.

KIRK: The time warp. What did it do to us?
SPOCK: We’ve regressed in time seventy one hours. It is now three days ago, Captain. We have three days to live over again.
KIRK: Not those last three days.

“The Enemy Within”

KIRK: Yeah. At night it gets down to a hundred and twenty degrees below zero.
SULU: That’s nippy.

SCOTT: It might profit you to let Doctor McCoy give you the once-over.
KIRK: All right, Engineer, I’ll have my engines looked to.

MCCOY: You picked a good day, Fisher. Business has been lousy. What’d you do, take a fall on purpose so you could get a little vacation?
KIRK: Saurian brandy.
MCCOY: Back to duty status, Fisher. I have no sympathy for clumsiness.

SPOCK: Well, Doctor McCoy seemed to think I should check on you.
KIRK: That’s nice. Come on, Spock, I know that look. What is it?
SPOCK: Well, our good doctor said that you were acting like a wild man, demanded brandy.
KIRK: Our good doctor’s been putting you on again.
SPOCK: Hmm. Well, in that case, if you’ll excuse the intrusion Captain, I’ll get back to my work.
KIRK: I’ll tell him you were properly annoyed.

RAND: Oh! Captain, you startled me. Is there something that you? Can I help you, Captain?
KIRK: Jim will do here, Janice.
RAND: Oh.
KIRK: You’re too beautiful to ignore. Too much woman. We’ve both been pretending too long. (grabs her) Stop pretending. Let’s stop pretending. Come here, Janice. Don’t fight me. Don’t fight me, Janice. (kisses her)
RAND: Captain!
KIRK: Just a minute, Janice. Just a minute!

KIRK: How’s it going down there, Mister Sulu?
SULU: It’s already twenty degrees below zero. Can’t exactly call it balmy.

SPOCK: If your power of command continues to weaken, you’ll soon be unable to function as Captain. You must be prepared for that.
MCCOY: You have your intellect, Jim. You can fight with that!
KIRK: For how long?
SPOCK: If I seem insensitive to what you’re going through, Captain, understand it’s the way I am.

KIRK: We’ve located the trouble. It shouldn’t be much longer.
SULU: Do you think you might be able to find a long rope somewhere and lower us down a pot of hot coffee?
KIRK: I’ll see what we can do.
SULU: Rice wine will do, if you’re short on coffee.

SULU: (using phaser to heat rocks) I think we ought to give room service another call. That coffee’s taking too long. Enterprise, this is Sulu.
KIRK: Kirk here, Mister Sulu.
SULU: Hot line direct to the Captain. Are we that far gone?
KIRK: I gave everybody the afternoon off. I’m watching the store. How is it down there?
SULU: Oh, lovely, except that the frost is building up. We’re using hand phasers to heat the rocks. One phaser quit on us, three still operating. Any possibility of getting us back aboard before the skiing season opens down here?
SPOCK: This is Spock, Mister Sulu. You’ll have to hold on a little longer. There’s no other way. Survival procedures, Mister Sulu.
SULU: Per your training program, Mister Spock.

KIRK: I have to take him back inside myself. I can’t survive without him. I don’t want him back. He’s like an animal, a thoughtless, brutal animal, and yet it’s me. Me.
MCCOY: Jim, you’re no different than anyone else. We all have our darker side. We need it! It’s half of what we are. It’s not really ugly, it’s human.
KIRK: Human.
MCCOY: Yes, human. A lot of what he is makes you the man you are. God forbid I should have to agree with Spock, but he was right. Without the negative side, you wouldn’t be the Captain. You couldn’t be, and you know it. Your strength of command lies mostly in him.
KIRK: What do I have?
MCCOY: You have the goodness.
KIRK: Not enough. I have a ship to command.
MCCOY: The intelligence, the logic. It appears your half has most of that, and perhaps that’s where man’s essential courage comes from. For you see, he was afraid and you weren’t.

SPOCK: The shock of putting him back together seems to have been too much for him.
MCCOY: He’s dead, Jim.

RAND: Captain? The impostor told me what happened, who he really was, and I’d just like to say that. Well, sir, what I’d like is..
KIRK: Thank you, Yeoman.
SPOCK: The, er, impostor had some interesting qualities, wouldn’t you say, Yeoman?

“Mudd’s Women”

MUDD: Meaning no ingratitude, gentlemen, but just where is it I find meself?
MCCOY: You’re aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise.
MUDD: It’s really a darn beautiful ship, isn’t it? Really a beautiful ship. Oh, the name, gentlemen, is Walsh, Captain Leo Walsh.

KIRK: If that captain can walk, I want him in my cabin immediately. Correction, I want him there whether he can walk or not. Kirk out.
MUDD: That fellow sounded a mite upset, didn’t he?
MCCOY: Yes. Yes, they are.
SPOCK: Curious.

MUDD: Ah, sure, these starships are really something marvellous, but men will always be men no matter where they are. Eh, mister? You’ll never take that out of them.
SPOCK: Deck twelve.
MUDD: You’re part Vulcanian, aren’t you. Ah well then, a pretty face doesn’t affect you at all, does it. That is, unless you want it to. You can save it, girls. This type can turn himself off from any emotion.
EVE: I apologise for what he said, sir. He’s used to buying and selling people.
MUDD: I’ll handle the conversation, darling.

MUDD: You’re a hard-nosed one, Captain.
KIRK: And you’re a liar, Mister Walsh. I think we both understand each other.

SULU: You’re on duty, Johnny-o. Back to reality.
FARRELL: You can feel their eyes when they look at you, like something grabbing hold of you. Did you notice that?
SULU: I noticed. How I noticed. Come on, Johnny.

SPOCK: State your name for the record.
MUDD: Leo Francis Walsh.
COMPUTER: Incorrect.
SPOCK: Your correct name.
MUDD: Gentlemen, surely you’re not going to take the word of a soulless mechanical device over that of a real flesh and blood man.
SPOCK: State your correct name for the record.
MUDD: Harry Mudd.
COMPUTER: Incorrect.
MUDD: Harcourt Fenton Mudd.
SPOCK: Any past offenses, Mister Mudd?
MUDD: Of course not. Gentlemen, I’m simply an honest businessman.
COMPUTER: Incorrect.
MUDD: Blast that tin-plated pot.

KIRK: Destination and purpose of journey?
MUDD: Planet Ophiuchus 3. Wiving settlers.
KIRK: Come again, Mister Mudd. You do what?
MUDD: I recruit wives for settlers, a difficult but satisfying task.

MUDD: Oh, you beautiful galaxy! Oh, that heavenly universe! Well, girls, lithium miners. Don’t you understand? Lonely, isolated, overworked, rich lithium miners! Girls, do you still want husbands, hmm? Evie, you won’t be satisfied with a mere ship’s captain. I’ll get you a man who can buy you a whole planet. Maggie, you’re going to be a countess. Ruth, I’ll make you a duchess. And I, I’ll be running this starship. Captain James Kirk, the next orders you’re taking will be given by Harcourt Fenton Mudd!

KIRK: Well, come on, you’re the doctor. What is it? Is it that we’re tired, and they’re beautiful? They are incredibly beautiful.
MCCOY: Are they, Jim? Are they actually more lovely, pound for pound, measurement for measurement, than any other women you’ve known? Or is it that they just, well, act beautiful. No. Strike that, strike that.
KIRK: What are they?
MCCOY: You mean are they alien illusions? That sort of thing?
KIRK: I asked you first.
MCCOY: No, an alien smart enough to pull this could also keep my medical scanner from going beep!
KIRK: I don’t follow you.
MCCOY: I don’t either.

KIRK: Have Mudd meet me in the transporter room.
SPOCK: Mudd?
KIRK: The name of this game.

EVE: I ate some of your food, so I paid with some chores.
CHILDRESS: And I do my own cooking. I’ve not laid a hand on you. Remember that.
EVE: Oh, the sound of male ego. You travel halfway across the galaxy, and it’s still the same song. There. You going to eat or talk?
CHILDRESS: I guess I’m supposed to sit, taste, and roll my eyes. Ooh, female cooking again. I’ve tasted better, by my own hand.
EVE: Well you’re tasting some of it now. I couldn’t scrape three layers of your leavings out of that pan.

MUDD: Don’t you think you could possibly, by accident, arrange to leave me behind here? On this planet that would be punishment enough.
KIRK: I can’t do that, Harry, but I will appear as a character witness at your trial. If you think that’ll help.
MUDD: They’ll throw away the key.

MCCOY: That must have been quite a talk you made down there. Ever try considering the patent medicine business?
KIRK: Why should I work your side of the street?
SPOCK: I’m happy the affair is over. A most annoying emotional episode.
MCCOY: Smack right in the old heart. Oh, I’m sorry. In your case, it would be about here.
SPOCK: The fact that my internal arrangement differs from yours, Doctor, pleases me no end.

“What Are Little Girls Made Of?”

SPOCK: That’s an unusual request.
KIRK: The man making it is Doctor Roger Korby.
SPOCK: You’re certain you recognise his voice?
CHAPEL: Have you ever been engaged, Mister Spock? Yes, it’s Roger.

CHAPEL: Brownie, what is it?
BROWN: Explain.
CHAPEL: Don’t you recognise me?
BROWN: Christine. You look well. My name is Brown, Doctor Korby’s assistant. I presume you are Captain Kirk. He’s dead, I assure you. Come, Doctor Korby will be waiting.
KIRK: You do know him well? An old friend?
CHAPEL: I suppose living here for five years…

ANDREA: I do not understand. Why are you unhappy? You are with Roger again.
CHAPEL: Where is Captain Kirk?
ANDREA: You are concerned about the captain?
CHAPEL: Yes, I am concerned.
ANDREA: How can you love Roger without trusting him? Why does it bother you when I use the name Roger?
KORBY: Andrea, it’s sufficient that it does disturb her. You will call me Doctor Korby from now on, Andrea.
ANDREA: Yes, Doctor Korby.

CHAPEL: Yes, let’s start with Andrea.
ANDREA: I’m like Doctor Brown, an android. Didn’t you know?
KORBY: Remarkable, isn’t she? Notice the the lifelike pigmentation, the variation in skin tones. The flesh, the flesh has warmth. There’s even a pulse, physical sensation.
CHAPEL: How convenient.
KORBY: Christine, you must realise an android’s like a computer. It does only what I programme. As a trained scientist yourself, you must realise that
CHAPEL: Given a mechanical Doctor Brown, a mechanical geisha would be no more difficult.
KORBY: You think I could love a machine?
CHAPEL: Did you?
KORBY: Andrea’s incapable of that. She simply obeys orders. She has no meaning for me. There’s no emotional bond. Andrea, kiss Captain Kirk. Now strike him. You see? There’s no emotion in it, no emotional involvement. She simply responds to orders. She’s a totally logical computer. A thing is not a woman. Now do you understand?
KIRK: If these mechanical things have no feelings and perform only as you programme them, then why did Brown try to shoot me? Why did he kill two of my men? There are many things I don’t understand, Doctor.
KORBY: I will answer all of your questions now.

KORBY: Synthetic organs are in place. We merely synchronise them with Kirk’s autonomic nervous system, duplicating the rhythms of his body. At the same time, we duplicate the mental pattern. Now, physical pattern complete, we now make a mental pattern. Ready for final synaptic fusion. Andrea, stand by for cortex circuits. The android will be so perfect It could even replace the captain. The same memories, the same attitudes, the same abilities. Activate circuits.
KIRK: Mind your own business, Mister Spock. I’m sick of your half-breed interference, do you hear? Mind your own business, Mister Spock. I’m sick of your half-breed (passes out, the other one wakes up)

KORBY: Totally unimportant ones. You may leave now. (Kirk2 leaves) You haven’t guessed the rest? Not even you, Christine? What you saw was only a machine, Only half of what I could’ve accomplished, Do you understand? By continuing the process I could’ve transferred you, your very consciousness into that android. Your soul, if you wish. All of you. In android form, a human being can have practical immortality. Can you understand what I’m offering mankind?
KIRK: Programming. Different word, but the same old promises made by Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar, Hitler, Ferris, Maltuvis.
KORBY: Can you understand that a human converted to an android can be programmed for the better? Can you imagine how life could be improved if we could do away with jealousy, greed, hate?
KIRK: It can also be improved by eliminating love, tenderness, sentiment. The other side of the coin, Doctor.
KORBY: No one need ever die again. No disease, no deformities. why even fear can be programmed away, replaced with joy. I’m offering you a pracical heaven, a new paradise, and all I need is your help.

SPOCK: Captain, We finished ahead of schedule.
KIRK2: Doctor Korby has considerable cargo to beam aboard. I’ll have to go over our destination schedule with him.
SPOCK: You’re going back down with the command pack?
KIRK2: Mind your own business, Mister Spock. I’m sick of your half-breed interference, do you hear?
SPOCK: Yes. very well, Captain.
KIRK2: You look upset, Mister Spock. Is everything all right up here?
SPOCK: No problems here, sir.

KIRK: Something bothering you, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: Frankly, I was rather dismayed by your use of the term half-breed, Captain. You must admit it is an unsophisticated expression.
KIRK: I’ll remember that Mister Spock, the next time I find myself in a similar situation. Steady as we go, helm.

“Miri”

MIRI: You got a foolie, is that it, and you want me to play, but I can’t. I don’t know the rules. I’ve got to know the rules.
MCCOY: Foolie?
MIRI: A game, you know. You can’t play a game without rules. Even Grups ought to know that.
KIRK: What are Grups?
MIRI: You are. They will, when Onlies get old.
RAND: Grownups.

KIRK: There must be records somewhere and answers to some of our questions. Miri, do you know any buildings where the doctors used to work?
MIRI: Yes, I know that. Them and their pills and things.
KIRK: Will you take me there?
MIRI: That’s a bad place.
KIRK: It’s important. Please.
MIRI: All right. Do you have a name, too?
KIRK: Yes. It’s Jim.
MIRI: I like that name.
KIRK: Good. I like yours, too. I like you.
MIRI: Do you really?
KIRK: I wouldn’t lie to you.
MIRI: I wouldn’t lie to you, either, Jim. I remember the Grups, but you’re nice. You’re different.
KIRK: Why, thank you.

KIRK: Bones, why do you think the symptoms haven’t appeared in Mister Spock?
MCCOY: I don’t know. Probably the little bugs or whatever they are have no appetite for green blood.
SPOCK: Being a red-blooded human obviously has its disadvantages.

SPOCK: Progress report, genetics section, Life Prolongation Project.
RAND: So that’s what it was.
MCCOY: Life prolongation. Didn’t have much luck, did they?

RAND: One thing, Captain. If she were a wild animal ever since she’s been a little girl, how do you explain that she wants to stay with us?
KIRK: Loneliness? I don’t know, curiosity? I think children have an instinctive need for adults. They want to be told right and wrong.
SPOCK: There may be other emotions at work in this case, Captain.
MCCOY: She likes you, Jim.
SPOCK: She’s becoming a woman.

KIRK: I’m going to try. Miri? Come here. You want to go someplace with me?
MIRI: Sure.
RAND: That little girl…
SPOCK: Is at least three hundred years older than you are, Yeoman. Think about it.

MCCOY: What about us?
SPOCK: The older the victim, the more rapid the progress of the disease.
KIRK: And you? The disease doesn’t seem to be interested in you.
SPOCK: I am a carrier. Whatever happens, I can’t go back to the ship, and I do want to go back to the ship, Captain.

JAHN: That would be some foolie, Miri, but do you think it would work?
MIRI: I know. I know. Don’t you think I’ve heard them talk? They have such little time to do this dumb thing of theirs, this buttinsky thing. If we get her away. that Yeoman, that’s one person less to start off with.
MASKED BOY: But how, Miri? If they’re so busy, if they’re going to have the big emergency, how are you going to get her away?
MIRI: It’s easy. She’s always asking me about the youngest little Onlies, little ones. What if they get sick, who takes care of them? Do they have enough to eat? Where do they sleep? I’ll just tell her one of you fell down and got hurt.
RED HEAD BOY: Me. Say it’s me.
MIRI: All right, you.
JAHN: But Grups, they know things and all that. You know, I bet they’ll be able to do it with one person less.
MIRI: Not one, two. Because he’ll try to find her.
RED HEAD BOY: Who? Who will, Miri?
MIRI: The Captain. He’ll try to find her, but he won’t. Mister Lovey-dovey.
RED HEAD BOY: Lovey-dovey. Bonk bonk on the head. Bonk bonk! bonk bonk!
CHILDREN: Bonk bonk! Bonk bonk!

RED HEAD BOY: Blah, blah, blah!
JAHN: No, you got the wrong game. A teacher, I told you. Now, what does a teacher say, huh?
RED HEAD BOY: Yeah. Study, study, study, or bonk bonk, bad kid. (children all applaud)
RAND: It’s not funny.
JAHN: It’s a foolie.

JAHN: You listen, Miri.
MIRI: I did. Why do you think I brought him here? Tell them, Jim.
JAHN: Tell’em, Jim. Tell’em, Jim.
CHILDREN: Tell’em, Jim! Tell’em, Jim! Tell’em, Jim! Tell’em, Jim!
KIRK: Listen to me. Listen to me!
JAHN: No yelling in the classroom! Look at him, a very bad citizen.
KIRK: This isn’t a game. It never was a game.
BLONDE GIRL: Call the police!
RED HEAD BOY: I’m the police. Bonk bonk unless you’re good.
JAHN: You’re the teacher.
RED HEAD BOY: I got two jobs. Bonk bonk!
CHILDREN: Blah blah blah! Blah blah blah! Blah blah blah! Blah blah blah!

CHILDREN: (approaching menacingly) Nyah na nyah, nyah na nyah, nyah na nyah, nyah na nyah.
KIRK: You’ve seen your friends change one by one as they grew up. Did you ever see one of them not change? One by one, they got the disease, and they became like, Iike those creatures you’re afraid of, like Louise. One by one they changed and got the disease. The disease like I’ve got, like Miri has. You understand what I’m talking about. You’re not babies. We can help you!
RED HEAD BOY: Naughty Grup. (starts hitting Kirk) Bonk bonk! Bonk bonk!
MIRI: No, please. No! (the other children join in as the little blonde girl watches, smiling)
KIRK: (bleeding) It’s waiting for you. It may only be a matter of months.
MIRI: Listen to him. He’s telling the truth.
JAHN: He’s funny. He thinks he’s funny.
RED HEAD BOY: Bonk bonk! Get him!
KIRK: Look at my arms! That’s what’s going to happen to you unless you let me help you.
RED HEAD BOY: Bonk bonk! Hit him!
KIRK: And the little ones. What’s going to happen to them after you’ve gone, after you’ve turned into creatures like Louise? Oh, they’ll still be here, but not for long, because the food’s all gone. You’ve eaten it. Maybe six months left, that’s all, and then nothing left to eat, nobody left to take care of them. They’ll die, too.
MIRI: Look at my arm, Jahn. It’s happening to me. He’s telling the truth.
JAHN: They’re Grups!
CHILDREN: Bonk bonk! Bonk bonk! Bonk bonk! Bonk bonk!
KIRK: All right, you want a foolie? All right. I dare you, I double-dare you. Look at the blood on my face. Now look at your hands. Blood on your hands. Now who’s doing the hurting? Not the Grups, it’s you hurting, yelling, maybe killing, just like the Grups you remember and creatures you’re afraid of. You’re acting like them, and you’re going to be just like them unless you let me help you. I’m a Grup, and I want to help you. I’m begging you, let me help you or there won’t be anything left at all. Please.

IRK: Look at his face.
SPOCK: The blemishes are fading. They’re fading. Who will understand the medical mind?

RAND: Miri. She really loved you, you know.
KIRK: Yes. I never get involved with older women, Yeoman.

“Dagger Of The Mind”

KIRK: I would like to have met Doctor Adams. Have you ever been to a penal colony since they started following his theories?
MCCOY: A cage is a cage, Jim.
KIRK: You’re behind the times, Bones. They’re more like resort colonies now.

SPOCK: Interesting. Your Earth people glorify organised violence for forty centuries, but you imprison those who employ it privately.
MCCOY: And, of course, your people found an answer.
SPOCK: We disposed of emotion, Doctor. Where there is no emotion there is no motive for violence.

NOEL: Doctor Helen Noel, Captain. We’ve met. Don’t you remember the science lab Christmas party?
KIRK: Yes, I remember.
NOEL: You dropped in
KIRK: Yes, yes, I remember.
SPOCK: Problem, Captain?
KIRK: Mister Spock, you tell McCoy that she had better check out as the best assistant I ever had. Energize.

NOEL: Perhaps it would be simpler if you called me Helen, Captain, since–
KIRK: This is another time, another place, and another situation.
NOEL: Of course, Captain.

SPOCK: When do you plan to beam back up, Captain?
KIRK: I think we’ll spend the night here, Mister Spock.
GELDER: No! No, no, no.

KIRK: I’d like to see that treatment room again. You say you’re somewhat familiar with the theory behind it?
NOEL: Yes, somewhat, but if you’d simply state any doubts you have to Doctor Adams
KIRK: And if he’s lying, he’ll continue to lie, and I won’t find out a thing. The only way I can be sure is to see that machine at work, or is that too impractical and unscientific of me, Doctor? Well?
NOEL: Coming.

KIRK: Nothing happened.
NOEL: Something happened. Your face went completely blank.
KIRK: Try a harmless suggestion.
NOEL: You’re hungry.
KIRK: You know, when we finally get through this I’d like to locate and raid a kitchen somewhere.
NOEL: I put that suggestion in your mind, Captain. I said simply that you were hungry.
KIRK: Remarkably effective for a device that Doctor Adams was going to abandon.

“The Corbomite Maneuver”

SPOCK: Ahead slow. Steer a course around it, Mister Sulu.
BAILEY: It’s blocking the way!
SPOCK: Quite unnecessary to raise your voice, Mister Bailey.

KIRK: I’ll be right up. You could see the alarm lights flashing from there, McCoy. Why didn’t you tell me?
MCCOY: Finally finished a physical on you, didn’t I. (Kirk leaves) What am I, a doctor or a moon shuttle conductor? If I jumped every time a light came on around here, I’d end up talking to myself.

SPOCK: All decks have reported green, Mister Bailey.
BAILEY: Yes, sir.
SPOCK: And when the Captain arrives he will expect a full report on–
BAILEY: The cube’s range and position. I’ll have it by then. Raising my voice back there doesn’t mean I was scared or couldn’t do my job. It means I happen to have a human thing called an adrenaline gland.
SPOCK: It does sound most inconvenient, however. Have you considered having it removed?
BAILEY: Very funny.
SULU: You try to cross brains with Spock, he’ll cut you to pieces every time.

KIRK: Scotty.
SCOTT: Motive power? Beats me what makes it go.
KIRK: I’ll buy speculation.
SCOTT: I’d sell it if I had any. That’s a solid cube. How something like that can sense us coming, block us, move when we move, well it beats me. That’s my report.

BAILEY: Sir, we going to just let it hold us here? We’ve got phaser weapons. I vote we blast it.
KIRK: I’ll keep that in mind, Mister Bailey, when this becomes a democracy.

KIRK: Anything further, gentlemen?
SPOCK: I believe it adds up to either one of two possibilities. First, a space buoy of some kind.
KIRK: Second?
SPOCK: Flypaper.
KIRK: And you don’t recommend sticking around.

KIRK: It’s time for action, gentlemen. Mister Bailey–
BAILEY: Bridge to Phaser Gun Crew
KIRK: Countermand. I’ll select what kind of action.
BAILEY: I’m sorry, sir. I thought you meant…
KIRK: Are you explaining, Mister Bailey? I haven’t requested an explanation. Now, as I was about to say, Navigator, plot us a spiral course away from the cube.

KIRK: Care to speculate on what we’ll find if we go on ahead?
SPOCK: Speculate? No. Logically, we’ll discover the intelligence which sent out the cube.
KIRK: Intelligence different from ours or superior?
SPOCK: Probably both, and if you’re asking the logical decision to make
KIRK: No, I’m not. The mission of the Enterprise is to seek out and contact alien life.
SPOCK: Has it occurred to you that there’s a certain inefficiency in constantly questioning me on things you’ve already made up your mind about?
KIRK: It gives me emotional security. Navigator, set a course ahead.

RAND: Excuse me, sir. It’s past time you had something to eat, sir.
KIRK: What the devil is this? Green leaves?
RAND: It’s dietary salad, sir. Doctor McCoy ordered your diet card changed. I thought you knew.
MCCOY: Your weight was up a couple of pounds, remember?

KIRK: When I find the headquarters genius that assigned me a female yeoman
MCCOY: What’s the matter, Jim. Don’t you trust yourself?
KIRK: I’ve already got a female to worry about. Her name’s the Enterprise.

BAILEY: We’ve only got eight minutes left.
SULU: Seven minutes and forty five seconds.
BAILEY: He’s doing a countdown!
MCCOY: Practically end of watch.
BAILEY: What, are you all out of your minds? End of watch? It’s the end of everything. What are you, robots? Wound-up toy soldiers? Don’t you know when you’re dying? Watch and regulations and orders What do they mean?
KIRK: Bailey, you’re relieved! Escort him to his quarters, Doctor.

SPOCK: I regret not having learned more about this Balok. In some manner he was reminiscent of my father.
SCOTT: Then may heaven have helped your mother.
SPOCK: Quite the contrary. She considered herself a very fortunate Earth woman.
KIRK: Doc. Sorry.
MCCOY: For having other things on your mind? My fault. I don’t how the devil you keep from punching me in the face.

KIRK: Ready, Doctor?
MCCOY: No, but you won’t let that stop you.

“Menagerie, Part One”

KIRK: How long will he live?
MCCOY: As long as any of us. Blast medicine anyway. We’ve learned to tie into every human organ in the body except one. The brain. The brain is what life is all about. Now, that man can think any thought that we can, and love, hope, dream as much as we can, but he can’t reach out, and no one can reach in.

MCCOY: What’s going on around here? Who said Jim needed a medical rest leave? And this call about me being needed aboard the ship. I’ve checked everywhere.
SPOCK: And no one from the ship made such a call.
MCCOY: That’s right.
SPOCK: Doctor, I regret they elected to keep certain things from you.

KIRK: Blast you any way. You had no right to come along.
MENDEZ: RHIP, Captain. Rank hath its privileges.

MCCOY: Mister Spock is, er, under arrest. Is confinement to quarters enough?
SPOCK: Adequate, Doctor. I’ll make no trouble.
MCCOY: Well, confine him.

SPOCK: Sir, I must point out that there are three officers of command rank available. Yourself, Commodore Mendez, and Captain Christopher Pike.
KIRK: Denied. Captain Pike is a complete invalid.
SPOCK: I believe you’ll find he’s still on the active duty list.
MENDEZ: We didn’t have the heart to retire him, Jim. He’s got you. Whatever he’s up to, he’s planned it well.

KIRK: Do you know what you’re doing? Have you lost your mind?
SPOCK: Captain, Jim, please don’t stop me. Don’t let him stop me. It’s your career and Captain Pike’s life. You must see the rest of the transmission.
KIRK: Lock him up.

“The Menagerie, part 2”

SPOCK: Thank you, sir, for both of us. (flash)
KIRK: Er, Mister Spock, when you’re finished, please come back and see me. I want to talk to you. This regrettable tendency you’ve been showing lately towards flagrant emotionalism
SPOCK: I see no reason to insult me, sir. I believe I’ve been completely logical about the whole affair.

“The Conscience of the King”

LENORE: So. Captain of the Enterprise. Interesting.
KIRK: So, Lady Macbeth. Interesting.

SPOCK: How did you know this lady was coming aboard?
KIRK: I’m the Captain.

KIRK: You make it sound very interesting. The crew has been on patrol for a long time. They could use a break in the monotony.
LENORE: Then you’ll do it?
KIRK: You’ve got me backed into a corner. The men would never forgive me if I deprived them of your performance, and your presence.

SPOCK: Benecia Colony is eight light years off our course.
KIRK: If my memory needs refreshing, Mister Spock, I’ll ask you for it. In the meantime, follow my orders.

MCCOY: Mister Spock, the man on top walks a lonely street. The chain of command is often a noose.
SPOCK: Spare me your philosophical metaphors, Doctor. The Captain is acting strangely. I’m asking if you’ve noticed.
MCCOY: Negative. Did you know this is the first time in a week I’ve had time for a drop of the true? Would you care for a drink, Mister Spock?
SPOCK: My father’s race was spared the dubious benefits of alcohol.
MCCOY: Now I know why they were conquered. What are you so worried about, anyway? I find Jim generally knows what he’s doing.
KIRK: It was illogical for him to bring those players aboard.
MCCOY: Illogical? Did you get a look at that Juliet? That’s a pretty exciting creature. Of course your, personal chemistry would prevent you from seeing that. Did it ever occur to you that he simply might like the girl?
SPOCK: It occurred. I dismissed it.
MCCOY: You would.

KIRK: What would you like to know?
LENORE: Has the machine changed them? Made them just people instead of women?
KIRK: Worlds may change, galaxies disintegrate, but a woman always remains a woman.

RILEY: Talk to me.
MATSON: Larry Matson here. Is that you, Riley?
MATSON: What’s up?
RILEY: Not me. I am down. In the engineering room.
MATSON: You’ve been a bad boy.
RILEY: Maybe so. Whatever I’ve done, they’re sure keeping it a secret from me. Hey. Is that Uhura playing? Let me talk to her.
MATSON: I think his heart is sore.
UHURA: What can I do for you, Riley?
RILEY: A song. Make it a love song. Just something to reassure me I’m not the only living thing left in the universe, huh?

SPOCK: Someone tried to kill him.
MCCOY: Could have been an accident.
SPOCK: You should be told the difference between empiricism and stubbornness, Doctor. I checked with the library computer, just as you did. I got the same information.
KIRK: Aren’t you getting a little out of line, Mister Spock? My personal business–
SPOCK: Is my personal business when it might interfere with the smooth operation of this ship.
KIRK: You think that happened?
SPOCK: It could happen.
KIRK: I don’t like anyone meddling in my private affairs. Not even my second in command.
MCCOY: Jim, Spock’s simply trying,
KIRK: I know what he’s doing, and I don’t like it.
MCCOY: It’s his job, and you know it.
KIRK: And you also know that nothing is proven.
SPOCK: Even in this corner of the galaxy, Captain, two plus two equals four. Almost certainly an attempt will be made to kill you. Why do you invite death?
KIRK: I’m not. I’m interested in justice.
MCCOY: Are you? Are you sure it’s not vengeance?

KIRK: Are you Kodos? I asked you a question.
KARIDIAN: Do you believe that I am?
KIRK: I do.
KARIDIAN: Then I am Kodos, if it pleases you to believe so. I am an actor. I play many parts.
KIRK: You’re an actor now. What were you twenty years ago?
KARIDIAN: Younger, Captain. Much younger.

MCCOY: In the long history of medicine, no doctor has ever caught the first few minutes of a play. Riley, don’t forget to– Riley? Captain Kirk, McCoy here.
KIRK: Yes, Doctor.
MCCOY: Riley’s gone. I was recording my log about Karidian and Kodos. If he overheard…

“Balance of Terror”

ROBERT: Happy wedding day, almost.
ANGELA: You won’t get off my hook this easily. I’m going to marry you, Mister, battle or phaser weapons notwithstanding.
ROBERT: Well, meanwhile, temporarily at least, I am still your superior officer. So get with it, Mister.

KIRK: Cancel battle stations. All decks, standby alert.
SULU: Cancel battle stations.
STILES: Captain, may I respectfully remind the Captain what has happened? The Romulans have crossed the Neutral Zone, attacked our outposts, killed our men.
KIRK: Mister Stiles.
STILES: Add to that the fact it was a sneak attack.
KIRK: Mister Stiles, are you questioning my orders?
STILES: Negative, sir. I’m pointing our that we could have Romulan spies aboard this ship.
SULU: I agree, sir. Respectfully recommend all decks maintain security alert.
KIRK: Very well. All decks, security alert.

KIRK: Decoding?
UHURA: Cryptography is working on it, sir.
STILES: Give it to Spock.
KIRK: I didn’t quite get that, Mister Stiles.
STILES: Nothing, sir.
KIRK: Repeat it.
STILES: I was suggesting that Mister Spock could probably translate it for you, sir.
KIRK: I assume you’re complimenting Mister Spock on his ability to decode.
STILES: I’m not sure, sir.
KIRK: Well, here’s one thing you can be sure of, Mister. Leave any bigotry in your quarters. There’s no room for it on the Bridge. Do I make myself clear?
STILES: You do, sir.

STILES: We have to attack immediately.
KIRK: Explain.
STILES: They’re still on our side of the Neutral Zone. There would be no doubt they broke the treaty.
SULU: Attack, without a visible target? How do we aim our phasers?
STILES: Aim with sensors. Not accurate, but if we blanket them
SULU: And hope for a lucky shot before they zero in on us?
STILES: And if we don’t? Once back, they’ll report that we saw their weapons and ran.
SULU: And if they could report they destroyed us?
STILES: These are Romulans! You run away from them and you guarantee war. They’ll be back. Not just one ship but with everything they’ve got. You know that, Mister Science Officer. You’ve the expert on these people, always left out that one point. Why? I’m very interested in why.
KIRK: Sit down, Mister.
SPOCK: I agree. Attack.
KIRK: Are you suggesting we fight to prevent a fight?
MCCOY: Based on what? Memories of a war over a century ago? On theories about a people we’ve never even met face to face?
STILES: We know what they look like.
SPOCK: Yes, indeed we do, Mister Stiles. And if Romulans are an offshoot of my Vulcan blood, and I think this likely, then attack becomes even more imperative.
MCCOY: War is never imperative, Mister Spock.
SPOCK: It is for them, Doctor. Vulcan, like Earth, had its aggressive colonising period. Savage, even by Earth standards. And if Romulans retain this martial philosophy, then weakness is something we dare not show.

KIRK: Phasers, stand by.
STILES: Sir, at this distance?
KIRK: We know their Achilles heel, Mister Stiles. Their weapon takes all their energy. They must become visible in order to launch it.
STILES: A phaser hit at this distance would be the wildest stroke of luck.
KIRK: I’m aware of that, Mister Stiles. Are phasers ready?
STILES: Phasers show ready, sir.

KIRK: I wish I were on a long sea voyage somewhere. Not too much deck tennis, no frantic dancing, and no responsibility. Why me? I look around that Bridge, and I see the men waiting for me to make the next move. And Bones, what if I’m wrong?
MCCOY: Captain, I…
KIRK: No, I don’t really expect an answer.
MCCOY: But I’ve got one. Something I seldom say to a customer, Jim. In this galaxy, there’s a mathematical probability of three million Earth-type planets. And in all of the universe, three million million galaxies like this. And in all of that, and perhaps more, only one of each of us. Don’t destroy the one named Kirk.

KIRK: Captain. Standing by to beam your survivors aboard our ship. Prepare to abandon your vessel.
COMMANDER: No. No, that is not our way. I regret that we meet in this way. You and I are of a kind. In a different reality, I could have called you friend.
KIRK: What purpose will it serve to die?
COMMANDER: We are creatures of duty, Captain. I have lived my life by it. Just one more duty to perform.

STILES: I’m alive, sir. But I wouldn’t be. Mister Spock pulled me out of the phaser room. He saved my life. He risked his life after I–
SPOCK: I saved a trained navigator so he could return to duty. I am capable of no other feelings in such matters.

Recap written by Eva

Lauren: You saw Phyllis? Oh, my god. How– how was she? How did she seem?

Michael: Oh, you know, same old phyllis. She was wearing a trench coat and dark glasses to avoid being recognized.

Lauren: I would’ve given anything to see her. Oh, my god. It must have been just so surreal.

Michael: Well, that’s one word for it. Behold, behold.

Lauren: What?

Michael: What your best pal walked in on, not to mention, myself, barely clothed.

[ Lauren laughing ]

Lauren: This is so romantic. The candles, the flowers, and ooh, look at this. My favorite champagne. You put a lot of effort into this.

Michael: You are so worth it.

Lauren: Ah, and then phyllis crashes this?

Michael: Yeah. Where she wiped out an entire platter of chocolate-covered strawberries.

[ Lauren chuckling ] Uh, well, you must get an appetite running away from the law.

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

Lauren: But she has to be terrified to come all the way back here and then wind up in a cell.

Michael: Well, she is, but her only other option is equally grim.

Lauren: Right. Looking over her shoulder, the rest of her life is no choice.

Michael: Or she could put her faith in me, which seems a no-brainer.

Lauren: Honey, she’s scared.

Michael: As well she should be. Do you know what she told me? “Let me think about it.” Before she ate the last strawberry and vamoosed. Now, all I can do is, wait. Wait!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Damn it.

Just not according to your plan.

You didn’t kill him, did you? Is he all right? Of course I didn’t kill him, but since he’s already broken free from your control once I had to administer an especially intense regimen, so you can rest Assured Commander Michaels will be doing only your bidding from now on. Are you sure that he’s ready for the job that I need him to do tonight?

Don’t you worry, this will be your brother Stefan’s last night on earth.

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Well, I am so glad that I ran into you both. Nice to meet you, and that I could extend the invitation. Oh. Like I said, it’ll be a little weird for me to be there since it’s almost Gabby’s sister-in-law, but I am really happy for her and for Stephan, so I’m glad that we can celebrate their engagement. Yeah.

Yeah, me too. Great. Very generous of you both. And it means a lot to my mother. She’s trying to do something nice for them, but, uh, well, to be honest with you, the attendance on the Demer side is looking a little thin. Well, we’ll help with that. The more the merrier. Right.

You’ll find out soon enough.

Ah. Thank you.

I hope you’re not planning on spending the evening drinking all night. That’s the current plan. Unless you can finagle me an invitation to the party or a press pass at least. I’m sorry, my darling lady whistleblower is just going to have to have the night off. Dimitri’s hoping for a very romantic evening and I don’t want you spoiling it.

Me spoil a good time. Never. I’m constitutionally incapable. No. Yes. I used to think that, but now I think you are constitutionally incapable of trusting anyone, giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. Oh, right. How disappointing that I don’t trust a guy who meets you beds, you and wants to put a ring on it in 24 hours.

Come on, Gwenny. Even I don’t move that fast. Okay, Matty, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but the past few months we’ve been commiserating. Have we not been losers in love and now my Prince charming has literally fallen into my lap while you are still a loser. No. I never said that. Oh, that’s what you meant.

No, it’s not. I’m just, I’m saying that while I’ve had this wonderful bit of luck, I know that you haven’t, and I’m wondering if perhaps you’re just a wee bit jealous.

Gwen Ek. Yikes. Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Are he? Oh, Chad Damara is gonna be there. Look at that. Well, at least a few Damara will be in attendance, huh? Yeah. Well, wife’s the only one from my side that’s coming and he’s so busy working Abe car’s space. He said he, he’s only gonna be able to stop by.

This probably gonna suck. No. Impossible. Yes. You’re gonna be there. I’m gonna be there. And I plan on having a grand old time celebrating us. Our love and the fact that you and I are suing the husband and wife again. You’re right. No, you’re right. Yes. Us being there together, that’s all that matters. That’s right.

No offense, but Nicole’s the least of our problems at this moment. Oh my God. I am starving. I’m starting to contemplate cannibalism. Well, I suppose that is the demure way. I can’t believe my sister did this to me.

Oh, and you, of course. I cannot think how this is gonna end. Okay, Emma, Kristen, don’t go there again. How can I not, how can I not? There’s no reason for her to keep us alive, is there.

He hardly looks like a man prepared to carry out an assassination. Later tonight. The procedure was taxing, but I’m confident. Commander Michaels, who will be ready. He better be father would roll over in his grave if Stephan handed his entire legacy to that conniving. Gabby Hernandez. Demira should be mine.

There’s only one fly in the ointment. Well, two actually. DJ and Kristen. I can hardly take out the entire family, but if I let them go, they’ll turn me into the authorities and they’ll ruin everything that I’ve planned. Don’t you have faith in me by now, Megan?

I know how to ensure that won’t happen.

Why on earth would I be jealous? Just because you’re being wooed and proposed to by a rich, gorgeous guy with a magic penis. Oh God sake, Matthew, we really going there again. You never denied he had one. That’s because you made a very stupid lewd joke, which I was trying to forget about, but since you won’t drop it, yes, Dimitri and I are quite compatible physically.

And also he has a magic penis. Oh God. Can you just stay on topic please? What was the topic again that you are for no apparent reason. Quite jealous and still very suspicious of Dimitri even though we have obviously ruled out that it’s not money or reputation laundering or, or he’s not marrying me for a green card.

So what are his ulterior motives? I mean, what other possible option is there? Health insurance. He’s from Europe. Health insurance is free, really, even for Botox and fillers. I’m pretty sure that you have to pay for that everywhere. But look, just consider this, will you? It could be quite simple for Dimitri that perhaps it was just not at first sight.

Hmm. I mean, you know that’s possible, don’t you? Even for friends. I knew that when I first saw you, I loved you and that I always would, fuck. I just made my heart go pitter powder. Yes. Well, I meant it.

Okay. Maybe you’re right. Uh, come again. Sorry. Do, do my ears deceive me. Did I actually just hear you say that I am right? No, I said maybe. And maybe I am a teensy bit jealous that you have found your prince charming, as you say, whereas nobody’s even flirted with me in the last millennium. Oh, come on.

That’s not true. And that’s how it feels. But petty jealousy aside, Lord, I am still certain that magic penis guy is up to something. Ah.

You’re right, of course. The more the merrier. See you at the bistro. Yes. Yes, we will. It should be a great celebration.

You know, I, I was surprised that, that we even wanted to go to the party. Well, Gabby is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a sister, and I don’t think she holds what happened between her and my brother against me, or even against him. I just, I think, I hope that she understands that Lee kind of lost his mind when Stephan came back.

Yeah. He knew he was gonna lose Gabby. Right. And so he did a lot of things. He regrets now. I mean, he was just trying so hard to hold onto her because he loved her so much.

Now I’m really glad he’s finally come to his senses and realized he has to move on.

Hey, you two. Hi. Hi. Hi. It’s good to see you. Hello. Overdressed for the pub though, aren’t you? Oh, no, we’re not. Uh, we’re not having dinner here tonight. We just wanted to stop by and see how you’re doing. Me too. Hey. I know you guys are close. I know, I, the, the whole thing is so terrible. I just, I mean, I still can’t believe it, you know, I just haven’t processed it really?

Yeah, we haven’t either. It’s just so awful and sad. Feels kind of wrong to be going to a party. Yeah. So Stefan and Gabby’s engagement party, I didn’t want to go, but, uh, you know, my sister Megan, she can be. Consistent. Megan, you know, I still don’t know why Megan was so Help Ben on throwing us this party.

Who cares? Party’s a party. True. I guess we could give her the benefit of the doubt. Assume she means well, I think she is capable of that as long as she’s not being a power hungry bitch on wheels. Right. Well, I guess I should get ready. Uh, you know, actually, I do need some help getting into my dress. Yeah.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. I’m your man.

Nicole, look at me. Look at me. Everything is gonna be okay. You’re not gonna lose this baby. You don’t know that Eric, Nicole, look, the, the cramps, they’re coming in less frequently. You’re not spotting, are you? All right, then well listen. You heard what the OB said. She said the most important thing for you and your baby’s health is just to try and relax.

Well, I can’t relax. I’ve been down this road too many times. This is nothing like what’s happened in the past. The cramps are coming in less frequently. You’re not spotting what? What is with that look? It’s just that you’re being so kind and and caring, and this isn’t even your baby. And after what happened with Jada, Eric, I, Hey, hey, hey, stop.

Listen to me. Don’t you know by now I care about you. Even with all the ups and downs that we’ve been through, I’m not going anywhere. Okay. I’m sorry that ejs not here for you right now, but I am.

I’m all for finding a way out of here, but it feels like we’ve tried everything. Got any new ideas? Well, if I had Susan’s teeth, I could knock through these ropes. Look. I don’t think we’re in imminent danger. If Megan wanted to kill us, she would’ve done it already. Well, maybe she is just waiting for the right time.

She has no qualms about killing Stephan. Why not us two?

CRS 17. Who’s a rescue? Oh, Ralph, you’re a genius. If Kristen and EJ can’t remember that I kidnapped them or admitted that I planned to kill Stephan, then I am free and clear. Can you make them forget that? And only that I’ve gotten a lot of practice with this drug in recent years. How much they forget is dosage dependent.

We should be able to wake out the last week or two with very little problem. Excellent. So I have a little bit of time before the party if you hand me that dose. I’ll take care of them on my way.

Now that is something to celebrate.

See you there, commander. You better not let me down this time.

Eric, I, I, I appreciate you being here for me, but it is a lot to ask. You didn’t ask. I still, I just, I, I just feel like, like, like what? Like I don’t deserve to be comforted. Like I’m being punished. Nicole, stop it. There’s a lot of things about my faith that I question. That’s not one of them. God doesn’t punish people by scaring ’em this way.

That’s not how it works.

Look, I’m gonna go see what’s keeping the dog there. All right? So I just want you to relax. I’ll be right back.

God,

don’t wait up. Okay. Gwynnie promise me this, if dreamy Dimitri pressures you to accept his proposal tonight, you will at least call me first. Why, so you can talk me out a bit? No. So you can see if I dug anything up. Oh God. Matty, please. Can you just give it a rest? I mean, whatcha are you gonna find in three hours anyway?

Are you kidding me? The next three hours are perfect for finding things out. All the de mirrors will be out tonight. It is the ideal time for me to swing by the mansion, nose around a bit, look for clues. Who knows? I may even get a story out of it. Oh yeah, you’ll definitely find clues. That place is murder mayhem central.

But if you are looking for dimitri’s ulterior motive, it doesn’t matter how hard you look. Because there isn’t one We’ll see about that. I can’t possibly suck in any more than this. No, that’s, that’s not the problem. I just can’t get it up. Well, I beg to differ. I, I’m talking about the zipper. Right? And you know what, maybe, maybe this is a sign.

A sign meaning, meaning that, uh, maybe instead of. Putting clothes on. You should be taking clothes off. I like the way things, yeah,

don’t worry about Kate. I’ll take care of her next. I just wanna make certain, none of this will be traced back to us, but stop worrying. Lee. Commander Michaels is firmly back on my team. So he’ll take Stefan out at the party tonight and then you’ll be free to move on with Gabby and we’ll both get what we want.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Hey This’s, your uh, brother. Hey Lee. Hey, I see Case you never dress up. Oh, we got a last minute invite to a party, not Gabby and Stephan’s engagement party. Well, yes, as a matter of fact, no, I I don’t want you to go.

Wait, what did, what did you just say about Megan? Just that she insisted that, um, that we go to that, uh, a party. And I, I still hate her for what she did do. In fact, out of all the people that are gonna be there, I hate 90% of them, but 90% of the time. Okay. Yeah. I just, when exactly did she, um, send that invitation?

Oh, a little while ago. Why is something wrong, wrong? No, no. I, I just tried to avoid her at all costs. Well, then I’d stay away from the bistro for the next few hours cause she’s hosting. If you want, we can give her your fondest regards. Hmm.

Don’t look at me like that father. I’m only doing what’s best for the entire family. And as for Stephan, you never even knew he existed. And honestly, I don’t think you would’ve liked him very much. Oh, he’s so easily manipulated by that woman. Very weak. No, I don’t think you’ll be shedding any tears over this.

Whatever you are,

mother, what are you doing?

Kate, are you sure? You’re all right? No, I’m fine. I’m fine. I just, uh, I just despise the woman, you know, not to mention her son. They deviance both of them. I’m really sorry for what they put you through. Hello? It’s all over now. Nice to you. In fact, I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for you. I’m damn grateful You are.

Okay. Uter, you have a party to go to, right? Yeah. We should go. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Sooner we get there the sooner we can leave. Mm-hmm. Right. We’ll have fun, okay? Okay. It’s gonna be lit. No, you take care, Kate. Yeah, you too.

Finally changed your ringtone, huh? Yeah. What You’re not gonna answer. It is just spam. Probably someone wanting to offer me an extended auto warranty. Yeah, dude, I, I get those all the time. Right. Well, you were just about to tell us why don’t you want us to go to the party? What I should think it’d be obvious, Stephan humiliating me of me to be brutally honest.

It’s very embarrassing,

but if you really want to go, I know you’re very fond of Gabby, so Yeah, we are. Just promise me that you’ll watch your back. You never know what can happen in a room full of Demaris. No offense not taken. I know exactly what you mean.

Mm-hmm. Thank you. Stuck zipper. Thank you. But you know, we better get, move on or we’re gonna be late to a party. Or maybe, and I’m just spit balling here. Maybe we don’t go, you know, everybody else is sent along their regrets. Maybe we should do the same.

Oh, I was just going down to get a few bottles of Christophe for the party tonight, huh? Well, it’d also been up to, I’ve texted about a dozen times. I know, sweetheart, I’m sorry. I’ve just been so busy planning everything for the party. There’s so many little details, but tell me. Has she accepted your proposal?

No, not yet. Only because we have been rudely interrupted by her Weasley, overprotective little roommate. Damn it. She needs to accept that proposal. Yes, I know mother, but she has agreed to come to the party tonight and I’m sure that all of this engagement, excitement will be contagious. I am very confident that I’ll be able to persuade her to accept this evening.

You’d better be confident. I’m sure I don’t need to remind you about the small fortune that’s ATS stake. Mother, you really don’t.

I’ll see you there tonight. Can’t wait.

Well,

well, uh, the doctor said that the baby’s fine. That’s great. So what caused the cramps? Uh, something called round ligament pain. I, I don’t know, I, I’ve never heard of it before, but apparently it’s normal, so I, I just need to take it easy. Stay hydrated, and now I just, You like an idiot, Nicole, you’re not an idiot.

Oh God. God, of course you panicked. You’ve had a rough history with things like this in the past. Just I’m relieved that the baby’s okay.

You and me both. I’m sure you’re just gonna feel the same way when he gets back from wherever he’s

well. I’d be an idiot if I wasn’t a little worried about what made my do to us since she’s already done this, but I’m much more worried about what she might have already done to Stephan. Relax. I haven’t done anything to Stephan, thank God. But now that I have all my duckies in a row, He’ll be dead within the hour.

Please look at you would’ve been a crappy idea to skip our engagement party. Uh, you’re right. I mean, yeah. This is the best of both worlds. We get to sip on some champagne, those yummy puff pastries, hang out with, uh, all these people that we love, fawning all over us, pretending to like us, and then we get to go home and spend the rest of the night in bed together.

Oh, I love that last part. Me too. Definitely. Hello? Oh, hello Lee. I just, uh, ran into my sister and she said she’s on her way to your engagement party. I’d like to offer my congratulations. Thank you, Lee. That’s very kind of you. Well, I just want Gabby to be happy. I want the same for you, Lee. You all right?

Apart from the obvious weirdness seem a little edgy. Who, uh, me? No, not, not at all. I just hope that your evening is every bit as lovely as you deserve it to be.

I just heard Megan throwing a party tonight. How is that possible? You said she was taken care of. Now I’m not sure what’s going on, so I guess I’m going to my own eyes.

Hope you don’t get caught in a crossfire, Kate.

What do you mean? Stephan will be dead within the hour? Exactly what I said. I am throwing an engagement party for Stephan and Gabby tonight, and this is the exciting part. Dr. Rolfe has worked his magic on my man. Commander Harris. Michaels. Wait. Dr. Rolls is back. Oh, keep up. Ej. Yes, he’s back. And so tonight, commander Michaels Navy Seal and MAL trained assassin is gonna do the deed and kill Stephan in front of all of his friends and family gathered, except for you two Of course.

Oh, Kristen, you’re such a drama queen. No, of course not. I’m not gonna kill the two of you. I don’t think father would be very happy about that. Megan, listen. Listen, if you, if you let us go, we swear, sorry, that we will not implicate. You will say nothing about any of this, right? And your word is your bond, isn’t it?

What the hell is that? CRS 17. Ring any bells? Ralph tried to inject your son with it in Jakarta to raise his memory. Good boy, you do remember, but you won’t soon. Now, don’t worry. As soon as this drug takes full effect, I’ll be back for you. Okay? So listen. Let’s just try and make this as quick and easy as possible.

Okay.

I’m in the mansion. I walked right in through an unlocked door. Apparently Damira security is at Mar-a-Lago levels. Probably shouldn’t print that for the world to see. Dateline 6:00 PM I couldn’t overhear the conversation between Count Dracula and his creepy mother, but given how shocked Megan was when I came through at the tunnels the other day, I am certain they’re hiding something down there.

And I will bet whatever it is, will shed some light on how those two are conspiring to screw over. My best friend.

Hey. Hey, uncle Chad. Oh my God, thank God. Actually, would you, Mike? Yeah. Family member. I actually know. And Blake? Yeah. Back at you. Uh, do you guys know Wendy? Oh, we haven’t met yet, but I have heard a lot about you from trip. Oh. Oh, don’t worry. It’s all good. Um, in fact, what, um, he mentioned that you two might be dating, but nevermind obviously, um, given that you two are on a date right now, I shouldn’t have said No, no, no, no.

It’s okay. Uh, actually trip and I. We did have a date earlier today, so we’re, we’re calling, uh, just to be, we’re calling this a date, no? Yep. Uh, none of our business. Um, Wendy, Johnny, I hope you have a fun night. Yeah. Good evening everyone. Have you all met Gwen Rizek? Yeah, we’ve met. Not only is she my beautiful date for the evening, but I’m also hoping that tonight she might do me the honor of accepting my wedding proposal.

No, sorry, what? Did you guys know each other from Europe? No, actually we didn’t, Tim. Well, Yes, it is true Gwen and I just recently met, but, uh, we both agree that we share a very deep connection on, on many levels and hope that you all can be happy for us. I guess not. Mm-hmm. It’s all right, Dimitri. We don’t need anyone’s approval, do we?

Oh, good. Because, um, we’re not gonna get it from me.

Look, everyone, for people who hate us and each other there, you see, I told you we should have stayed home. Hmm.

Ah, command Michaels. You’re back, sir. What’s going on? You have a very important mission to carry out. Do you remember what.

Oh my goodness. I’m over here. Right here. Okay. Sit down. Thank you. Yeah. And comfy? Yes. All right. Um. I’m gonna get you some water or some, would you like some soup, baby? Don’t go

listen, I, I just wanna say I know it, it must have been difficult for you to be in the hospital with me and I just want you to know it means a lot. I’m just glad I could be there for you. Not as glad as I am.

Damn it should. I’m slipping away by now. My, my memories. I’m trying, but I can’t do it. I can’t hold me neither. Oh my God. How, how, how do we help Stephan now? Oh,

OMG guys. Wtf.

Oh. Cue face, Megan. Hello Kate. Lovely to see you. Do I smell fish? I can’t believe it. Sorry. I’d love to stay in chat, but I’m late for a very important date. Mission accomplished my ass.

How’s it going? It is, as I said, it would be. Commander Michaels is like a heat seeking missile singularly focused on destroying his target, but only the target. My sister at that party press assured my boy Michaels is programmed only to harm. Stephan

keep thinking though, won’t everyone suspect Megan immediately? I mean, she brainwashed Michaels before, so yes, I took care of that. I just hope you didn’t let him go before he was fully ready. Remember the disaster was Stephan. Rest assured my boy. My work may be experimental in nature, but the procedure is complete when you will be a happy beneficiary.

Yes, yes. Steph will be gone. Gabby will be mine again, and this time my hands will be completely clean. Hey, where is the host? I mean, people are starting to get a little restless honored. Guests welcome now. Please accept my apologies for the delay in order to make this a really special night tonight. I had to bring a bottle of my father’s very favorite champagne.

Just took me a little longer to get it than I expected, but I’m here now and I’m so glad that you are all here too, because there is nothing in this world more important than family is there. I am so grateful. But you have all welcomed me back into your bosom,

and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to host this lovely gathering for my newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. And I just know that father is smiling down on us now. Happy to see us all together again. Whoa. At least most of us. Yeah, very few of us. And yes, I know that we have our differences, but we overcome them, don’t we?

That’s what families do. Well, normal families like yours. My sister Megan, she’s an assassin. Thomas Banks had to kill us, so all those things are a little bit hard to overcome. Mm-hmm. I am so sorry for all of the lost years that we could have spent together, but I look forward to the many, many happy years to come.

And now I want everyone to grab a glass of champagne so we can toast the happy couple, the lovely Gabriela and my charming brother Stephan. Oh my God. Paris Michaels. What the hell are you doing here?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Summer: Good, you’re here already. My mom texted me. She said that she saw you.

Michael: Yes, um, you want some breakfast? My treat.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: No, thank you. I just want to hear about my mom, I mean, what happened? Where is she? What is she going to do?

Michael: Uh, if you don’t mind, I’m going to take those one at a time. Um, as to what happened, I was expecting lauren for a romantic rendezvous and, uh, phyllis knocked on the door instead.

Summer: How did she look? Is she okay?

Michael: She’s stressed. She’s tired from being on the run. She’s very concerned about you.

Summer: Okay, but what– what happened? What did– what did she say?

Michael: We had a very productive talk about her options. She ate all the chocolate covered strawberries and then she left.

Summer: That’s it? She didn’t say where she’s been hiding or where we could find her?

Michael: I’m sorry, she did not.

Summer: But in her text, she said that she might have found a way out of this mess. I mean, is that true? Could she come home soon?

[ Knocking on door ]

Sharon: Who’s there?

Nick: It’s nick. Morning.

Sharon: New job, delivery man?

Nick: Oh, yeah, nick’s courier service. On time or we keep it.

[ Sharon laughing ]

Sharon: Like it. How’s your first day on leave?

Nick: Not great, not loving it, but what choice do I have?

Sharon: Well, you want some coffee? Although, you seem a little amped up already.

Nick: Yeah, I’m just trying to figure out what I’m gonna do with the rest of my day. You know, I can deliver you this, which was left for you at the gate.

Sharon: Um, I’m sure that’s just my shampoo, you should set it right there. Actually, I do need some help this morning with this. I just don’t have the skills, and you were always so good at this.

Nick: Happy to be of service.

[ Sharon chuckling ] All right.

Jack: You’re thinking what I am? That what happened yesterday should never have happened? Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… with a smooth clean shave,

Nick: Thank you.

Sharon: Mm-hmm.

Nick: You know, I always did love that necklace.

Sharon: Well, you gave it to me a million years ago.

Nick: Well, I have excellent taste.

Sharon: You do. You know, you didn’t have to come here and check on me. Which I know is the reason why you’re here. I’m fine. Just like I was last night when we spoke on the phone.

Nick: Well, you did that thing where you politely blow me off because you don’t want me to worry about you, so I figured the best thing I can do is just crash your place and eyeball you and see how you’re doing. So, how are you?

Sharon: Um, it’s a little intense sometimes. Little noises or flashes of light just send me right back into the nightmare.

[ Sharon sighing ] Cameron kidnapped faith. He wanted to kill us. And then I remember to breathe and relax and everything’s okay. We’re okay, it’s over. Have you talked to faith?

Nick: Yeah, she was my first phone call this morning. Uh, she sounds good, you know? She’s happy to be back with her friends. She sounds strong. Wish my other daughter was just as great. I–

Sharon: What’s going on with summer?

Nick: Have you heard that phyllis is alive and on the run?

Sharon: Yes, I have heard that.

Nick: Well, not surprisingly, she has dragged summer into her drama and now it’s blowing up her marriage.

Sharon: Phyllis is a firestorm. Anybody who tries to stop her or tries to help her ends up getting burned, and far too often it is someone she loves. But I’m glad that summer has you.

Nick: Yeah, I have lots of time to worry about her and sally and you and faith now.

Sharon: So, this leave of absence?

Nick: All victoria. I told her it wasn’t necessary, but she insisted.

Sharon: For how long?

Nick: Seems indefinite.

Sharon: Okay, well, being that it’s your sister, I have to assume that she’s just concerned about you and everything that you’ve been dealing with.

Nick: I have a feeling her concern isn’t very sisterly.

Sharon: Well, you can always come back to work at the coffee house.

[ Both laughing ] No one was ever as good as you are at refilling those sugar dispensers.

Nick: Oh, that is a tempting offer.

Sharon: And I’ll throw in all the free coffee you can drink.

Nick: Okay.

Sharon: You know what? I have to get to work.

Nick: Yeah.

[ Sharon grunting ]

Sharon: Hey. This isn’t my shampoo. This is from an out-of-state law firm. That doesn’t sound good.

Kyle: Which part shouldn’t have happened?

Jack: The division of this family. Traci had to stage an intervention to stop immediate warfare. I don’t know how successful she was. I think at best we have a temporary detente.

Kyle: Well, détentes are overrated.

Jack: Kyle, I understand your pain. That phyllis would use her daughter to help her out of this mess of her own making. That she would force summer to choose between her husband and her mother. It’s just more damage to this family courtesy of that woman and her hatred.

Kyle: Summer was no victim. She was right in step with her mother. She chose phyllis over and over. Saw my mother get charged with murder, saw us in pain, still, she did nothing.

Jack: Summer made a mistake.

Kyle: It wasn’t that long ago that she was furious at me because I lied to her about working with victor to get adam out of jabot.

Jack: Yeah, that I remember quite well.

Kyle: She was furious. I lied. She could barely get past the fact that I have violated our trust, and I own that mistake, but now she has done exactly the same thing, lying on top of lying. See, this time, it wasn’t about a job at a company. It was about my mother’s life. Her entire future.

Jack: And she wants to make amends now.

Kyle: How? She let me believe she was grieving her mother. Let my mom face the possibility of life in prison. Let me tie myself in knots trying to support my mother. I was desperate to help summer. Desperate. And she shut me out. Disregarded my love, disregarded my feelings for her and my mother.

Jack: There’s no doubt about it, she was wrong, but are you so hurt that you won’t get past what has happened?

Kyle: It is not about hurt. I don’t know who she is anymore. Or maybe I’m just finally seeing she really is her mother’s daughter. Summer did whatever she needed to get what she wanted. Knowing she’s capable of that and so easily, I don’t see how I can trust her again.

Jack: But don’t you think that’s a little harsh?

Kyle: Summer and i are separating dad. I told her to move out.

Michael: Your mother’s future is still pretty much up in the air. And more than a lot of it depends on phyllis.

Summer: You’re gonna help her, right?

Michael: Of course I will. I’m committed to bringing phyllis back. She has that special type of mayhem we all need in our life. But your mother is a stubborn woman. Even with the odds against her, she insists that things play out on her terms. And that is just something I can’t promise.

Summer: And that’s why she didn’t stick around?

Michael: It’s not like I didn’t try. I begged her to turn herself in. I ran up and down the list of reasons why it’d be the least stupid thing she could do. I told her we love her, we miss her. We’re ready to fight for her.

Summer: And she still refused.

Michael: She’s afraid. Christine is at the end of all this. Phyllis is convinced that christine will hit her with every charge in the book and even a few extra just for kicks. The only commitment I could get from your mom is that she would think about it and examine her options.

Summer: Even if there are legal consequences, I mean, it’s got to be better than all of this craziness. The uncertainty.

Michael: I would like this all to be over so I could see you smile again.

Summer: As much as I love my mom and I want her to come home… I– I– I still can’t believe that she did this to us. To me, I mean, even if we figure out all of her problems, there’s still going to be collateral damage.

Michael: What, uh, specific collateral damage are we talking about?

Summer: I might need a lawyer myself. (Wheezing)

Sharon: “Dear miss newman, this letter is to inform you that I represent the estate of cameron kirsten. Per his instructions, I’ve been authorized to forward you the items included in this box in the event of his death.”

Jack: You and summer are separating? I am so sorry it has come to that.

Kyle: I don’t see any other way.

Jack: When we saw you last night, you said you realized that staying away wasn’t going to fix anything. I assumed, I hoped, that that was leading toward healing.

Kyle: There was no hope in that decision. It was resignation. Why put off the inevitable?

Jack: Kyle, is this really what you want? You’re ready to give up on your marriage?

Kyle: Summer chose to do that when she decided to betray everything I thought we had and– and so damn easily. Who knows? Maybe if she hadn’t gotten caught, she would still be lying to me.

Jack: Oh, you’re in pain. And it’s deep and there are no easy remedies, but I’m sure you’re also aware there has been a lot of forgiveness in this house recently for crimes far more serious than summer’S.

Kyle: I guess I’m not as forgiving as you are.

Jack: I don’t believe that. I believe you are forgiving. You forgave your mother. I did too.

Kyle: Not the same. When I see summer, I see someone who didn’t love me enough to be honest. She took me and everything we had for granted. She blew all of our trust to hell. How do you love without that? How is there ever any coming back from what she’s done?

Michael: I would never turn you away if you needed help, summer, but I’m not sure why you would need legal representation.

Summer: Uh, I haven’t been completely upfront with you.

Michael: Oh.

[ Summer sighing ] My morning was going so well. What did you do?

Summer: Mom reached out to me first, not daniel.

Michael: What?

Summer: And he covered for me. And I was keeping her– her secret, unlike him. And when I found out that he was telling everyone, I was furious. So, when she revealed where she was hiding…

Michael: You said nothing.

Summer: Yeah. I brought her food and clothes. I tried to help her figure everything out and I don’t know how many laws I broke. I mean, aiding and abetting a fugitive, obstruction of justice. Uh, how much time can you get for them?

Michael: All right, all right you’re getting ahead of yourself.

Summer: Am I? Because chance told me that christine was just waiting to find my mom before she brought charges against me, so it kind of seems like it’s going to happen.

Michael: You spoke to chance about possible charges against you?

Summer: As a friend.

Michael: Uh, when your mother is on the run for serious crimes and you’ve aided and abetted her. Never, ever, ever talk to policemen as a friend. Can– can we agree on that before moving forward?

Summer: Yeah.

Michael: Is there any more of that collateral damage you mentioned?

Summer: Uh, my husband hates me.

Michael: Kyle could never hate you. He loves you.

Summer: I was protecting my mom while his mom sat in prison. I mean, I– I lied to him for weeks. And I hated it so much. Even when I wasn’t lying, I was pushing him away and now, he can’t even look at me so… I might also need a divorce attorney.

Michael: No. It’s too soon. You’re young, you’re in love, you have a child. Kyle will come around.

Summer: Michael, he already said that he wants a separation. He asked me to move out. Does it sound like he’s getting ready to forgive me?

Michael: Look, you just have to give kyle some time. You know, this has been rough for everybody.

Audra: If you’re thinking about making, you know, a smooth escape, look, I get it. No pressure from my end.

Kyle: I don’t wanna go home.

Audra: Excuse me?

The long-lasting scent

of gain flings

Audra: I’m sorry about the intrusion. I’m–

Summer: Audra charles. Yes, she was the one that broke noah’s heart a while ago.

Audra: But luckily, we both moved on. I hope he and allie are very happy back in london. And you are michael baldwin. Quite a phenom in this town. Attorney extraordinaire.

[ Michael laughing ]

Michael: It depends on who you talk to. But I also know of you from my dealings with newman enterprises. Victor’s acquisition of mccall unlimited.

Audra: That’s right. Small world.

Michael: Yeah.

Summer: I haven’t seen you since, um, the gala.

Audra: That’s right. It was such a terrible night. You know, I was there when your mother collapsed. To later learn that she died. Look, I can’t imagine the grief that you were going through, but how wonderful that she’s actually alive. Apparently somewhere. You must feel like you’re on a roller coaster. You know, but thank god you have your husband and his family to support you.

Summer: Is there something that you want?

Jack: Kyle, I know you’re angry and you have every right to be, but I honestly believe that your love for summer is much stronger than what you’re feeling right now. Listen, kyle, I know this from experience. Anger is a very potent emotion. It can blind you. It can fuel you to make decisions you’ll come to regret. All I’m suggesting is that you not act this second. Just give it some time for the anger to dissipate, and you can reevaluate.

Kyle: I have thought this through, dad. This decision is not based off of emotion. It is based off of fact.

Jack: The reality is this is a–

Kyle: Oh, no, no, no. The reality is my wife has proven she will always, always side with her mother against mine and me. That is a fact. And phyllis will be back in our lives soon. Whispering into summer’s ear, also a fact. So tell me, dad. How does my already broken marriage survive that chaos?

Sharon: This cannot be happening. This is just like before. Random packages being delivered here, at the coffee house just to freak me out.

Nick: We’re not playing cameron’s games anymore. Sharon, he’s dead. Let’s get rid of it. I’ll throw it out right now. We can burn it if you want.

Sharon: Wait, no. We should go through it first.

Nick: Why? It’s just gonna drag up memories that we’re trying to forget.

Sharon: Believe me, no one is more creeped out by this than me. But, no matter what is in that box, cameron can’t hurt us anymore.

If you, like many people,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Nick: Seems like cameron was into journaling all his teenage angst. Uh, here’s a good one. “I’m going to be somebody, not like these losers. I’m going to be rich. Super rich. So rich no one can stop me and I’m going to marry the most beautiful woman in the world. Leave all these suckers behind.” I mean, the kid had goals.

Sharon: Let’s see what’s in here. Hmm. Frankie.

Nick: Okay.

Sharon: Oh, and this must be…

Nick: The dog’s ashes.

[ Clicks tongue ] Wow. I never pegged cameron to be a dog lover.

Sharon: Yeah. Me neither. Wow. So much for the family photo with his parents.

Nick: With faces ripped out. Guessing they were pretty close.

Sharon: And there’s frankie, I think.

Nick: Yeah. Something else in here what’s this? What do you think this is doing in here?

Sharon: It’s clearly paperwork for cameron’s company, kirsten incorporated. Oh, my gosh. Cameron’s entire business has been signed over to me.

Nick: What?

Jack: Kyle, there are no easy answers.

Kyle: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me spell it out for you. Phyllis will swoop back into town. Michael will do his thing. She will face minimal charges and go back to upending everyone’s life because that’s who she is. She will not be repentant. She will still hate my mother and she has a tidal pull on summer. I refuse to be a part of that circus, and I will not let my son be a part of it as well.

Jack: Yeah, I’ve been concerned about how this all affects harrison, too. There’s been too much anger and upset in this house for too long.

Kyle: Yeah, and too much has been generated by my wife. Dad, I– I remember. I remember, right there, when I approached summer about telling harrison that phyllis had died and she refused. She came up with all kinds of excuses and I felt sorry for her. What an idiot I was. Of course she knew phyllis was alive. Dad, and she was willing to put harrison right in the middle of her damn drama.

Jack: For what it’s worth, kyle, I honestly think summer is remorseful

Kyle: Please, the tears. The desperation to talk, to apologize, and she’s suddenly all about our great love. As if she didn’t treat me like the enemy for weeks! Blame me for not giving her the space she needed! All so she could keep phyllis’s dirty little secret. Oh, the entire time, the entire time I was trying to help her. Be there for her. Comfort her. She was sacrificing my mother to protect hers.

Jack: And diane has forgiven summer.

Kyle: How forgiving do you think mom will be towards phyllis? No matter how resigned she seems about doing nothing and letting phyllis’s karma come back and bite her? When those two come face to face again, all bets are off. Yeah, dad, look at what she just pulled with me. Lying about harrison? If she’s willing to play me like that, how far is she willing to go to make phyllis pay for trying to destroy her life? You cannot tell me you’re not a little worried about that.

Jack: I will allow that that could become an issue.

Kyle: Oh, it is already a giant issue, dad. As much as traci wants peace in this house, I see nothing but trouble ahead, especially for me and summer. I will do everything I can to protect my son. That is why my mind is made up. That is why summer and i are separating.

Audra: I apologize again for the interruption. I just wanted to offer my condolences if your mother really is gone.

Summer: Thanks.

Audra it was nice to see you again. And nice to officially meet you.

Michael: Same here.

[ Michael laughing ] Something tells me that that one is a real piece of work.

Summer: You wouldn’t be wrong. Is it just me, or when it comes to my mom, does everyone in this town want information or have an opinion?

Michael: Well, the phyllis trauma has sparked morbid curiosity from more than a few corners.

Summer: The worst part about it is whether she decides to come home or stay away, it’s just gonna get worse. When migraine strikes, you’re faced with a choice.

Nick: Cameron left you his company? This cannot be legit. It’s got to be another one of his crazy games.

Sharon: Well, nothing he does surprises me. Check the date, it’s from last year.

Nick: Which means he put all this in motion just in case his plan failed or he died. It’s an amazing way to keep toying with you from beyond the grave.

Sharon: Yeah, well, in some twisted way, I guess it makes sense, but it looks like it’s real. His attorney wants me to contact him to finalize transfer of ownership.

Nick: Well, if it’s bogus, it’ll be easy to figure out, but it does sort of prove his sick devotion to you. He always said that you were the love of his life. What better way to stay united with you even after his death than to leave you with this company?

[ Sharon sighing ]

Sharon: As if I would want anything from that horrible man, dead or alive. It’s like taking blood money.

Nick: I’m with you on that. Plus, he was in and out of prison for years. I mean, this company’s got to be in ruins.

Sharon: I don’t care if it’s worth a fortune. I am done with cameron and his manipulations. As far as I’m concerned, this is garbage.

Kyle: Hi.

Mariah: Hey, sunshine. I take that back. Maybe the forecast is cloudy with a bit of summer being a bitch?

Kyle: Turns out you were right.

Mariah: God, I really do love to hear that, but you look so miserable. It’s making me feel sorry about that. What’s going on?

Kyle: I’d rather talk about you.

Mariah: Uh, coffee and pastries for tessa, aria is next level cute. That’s me. Now back to you. Talk to me.

Kyle: All right. After I saw you, I took chance to a room at the athletic club where phyllis was hiding out, and of course, summer warned her and she was long gone.

Mariah: Do you have any idea where she is?

Kyle: Nope. But summer is consumed with the idea of bringing her mother back to as few charges as possible.

Mariah: Of course she is. ‘Cause all mommy did was fake her own death, try to destroy your mom’s life and kill a man, so there’s nothing to see here.

Kyle: And as obsessed as summer is with getting her mother to come back home, she’s just as focused on smoothing things over with me. She lied to my face for weeks and now she can’t stop saying how sorry she is.

Mariah: Is she actually sorry or is she just sorry she got caught?

Kyle: No, exactly. I mean, she goes on and on about how much she loves me and how special our marriage is, as if things could ever go back to the way they were.

Mariah: I’m sorry. What? Look, regardless of what I think about summer, you guys built a life together, a family.

Kyle: And she blew it up. I mean the lies and– and the manipulation I mean, my dad, he keeps talking about forgiveness, even my mom, but… I see now what you saw all along. Summer is going to summer. This wasn’t an isolated incident. This is who she is. And how can I ever trust again that she will put our marriage first, and our son? And there is zero doubt that phyllis is coming back into our lives, so I refuse to raise harrison in the toxicity that phyllis and summer call love.

Mariah: Man, I thought being right would feel…. a lot better than this.

Kyle: Thanks for letting me vent. And, oh, yeah, would you believe that summer went to my mom? I mean, the woman she was willing to let spend years behind bars, the woman she can’t stand, and asked her to intervene. I mean, how crazy is that?

Mariah: [ Clicks tongue ] Um, maybe not as crazy as you think. Summer… she came to me too.

Kyle: You’re kidding me?

Mariah: Consorting with the enemy. She must be desperate, right?

Kyle: What did you tell her?

Mariah: I told her that she’s not good enough for you. Never was.

Kyle: All that tact. That’s what I love about you.

Mariah: Hey, I’m just speaking my truth.

[ Kyle sighing ] Look… as screwed up as summer is and as screwed up as this whole situation is… I think she loves you. Badly and– and selfishly and in horrible, broken ways. But she definitely still loves you. And I think under the broken pieces of your heart… you might still love her, too.

Kyle: Love has nothing to do with this. It’s about trust, and summer took a sledgehammer to it. That’s why I want a separation. I told summer to move out.

Summer: Hi.

Jack: Hi, summer.

Summer: I guess that kyle’s told you everything.

Jack: I am so sorry.

Summer: I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.

Jack: I know that.

Summer: [ Sighing ] I’ve made such a mess of things.

Jack: Hey, come here.

[ Summer sobbing ]

Summer: I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything.

Jack: You were put in a very difficult situation.

Summer: No, I can’t make any excuses. Everything I did, it was my choice. I could have gotten the murder charges against diane dropped a lot sooner. I mean, you– you must hate me, too.

Jack: No. No, I could never hate you. In part because I know, for better or worse, you will always protect the mother who was your world.

Summer: Even when she’s turning it upside down.

[ Scoffing ] I… I’ve tried to explain everything to kyle. I’ve tried to… apologize, but it just feels like everything I do is pushing him further away. I guess I deserve that, right? I mean, he just… was trying to love me and I– I betrayed him. I betrayed everything that he thought that our marriage was.

Jack: Kyle is deeply hurt right now.

Summer: I love him. Even as I was screwing everything up, I never stopped loving him. And now he just– he doesn’t want to hear it. I don’t want this. I don’t want a separation. I don’t want to leave his house, harrison, our family. I don’t know what to do, jack. How– how do I convince kyle to forgive me?

Jack: I’m going to tell you what I told my family yesterday. There’s no forcing forgiveness. Kyle wants a separation so that he can process what has happened, so he can cool down. Maybe that would be good for both of you.

Summer: Then why does it feel so final? Needles.

[ Sharon sighing ]

Sharon: Enough of cameron. What’s the rest of your day looking like? Are you going to see how sally’s doing?

Nick: I’m not sure she’s up for a visit after we spoke earlier, but I’m definitely going to stop by.

Sharon: I’m sure she could use all the support she can get.

Nick: Not that she’d admit it. She’s really struggling.

Sharon: So was adam. I wish they could share the loss of the baby together, share the love they had for that little girl. I just think it would go a long way in helping them heal.

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know. Sally blames adam 100%.

Sharon: And adam’s mad at himself and the world.

Nick: We both know how adam gets when he gets mad at himself, he tends to shine that onto the nearest target.

Sharon: Have you seen him?

Nick: Yeah, I saw him last night. Things got a little tense. I warned him that he needed to stay away from sally and just give her some time and space. Not that he listened the first time.

Sharon: He still loves her so much.

Nick: Yeah, but losing the baby? It was the only connection they had. Sally moved on a long time ago. But it doesn’t matter. Adam is going to do whatever he wants. Some people just don’t know how to fade into the woodwork.

Jack: You know that I adore you. I have since the moment I held you in my hands in that elevator when you announced to the world you were very much alive.

[ Summer chuckling ] That hasn’t changed. But I love my son very much and I am going to support whatever decision he makes.

Summer: I– I wouldn’t expect anything else.

[ Summer sighing ] I’ve ruined everything. And it’s not just our family that I’ve messed up.

Jack: Wait, I don’t understand what that means.

Summer: I mean, what’s going to happen to marchetti? Kyle and I can barely be in the same room. How are we gonna work together?

Jack: It’s not going to be easy. Personal differences have to take a back seat to what’s best for the company. That said, you are the driving creative force behind marchetti’s success. You are the brand. So if you and kyle can’t find a way to work together… I think kyle’s gonna have to be the one to step away.

Mariah: Separation. How did summer react?

Kyle: How do you think? She threw it back at me. Pretty much accused me of throwing her out on the street when all she did was try and help her mom.

Mariah: Very dramatic, that one. Are you having second thoughts?

Kyle: No, but I dread what’s ahead, but how can I build a life, a family, with someone who I can never trust again?

Mariah: I think you’re doing the right thing. For you and for harrison.

Kyle: Thanks. It means a lot.

Mariah: Is there anything else going on with you? Not that there needs to be anything else going on with you.

Kyle: I’m just putting one foot in front of the other. So why don’t you take that lukewarm coffee and those pastries back to tessa and give aria kiss for me?

Mariah: You know I’m just a phone call away.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. I know.

Mariah: And I want you to use it or I will hunt you down, I promise you that.

Audra: Hello.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Victor: I’ve become aware that you and a certain member of my family have become acquainted. And I asked you to come here to give you a serious warning.

Summer: I guess there’s just one thing left to do. Harrison. Could you come down here for a minute?

Sharon: I have an idea. But you would have to get your hands dirty.

Nick: Whatever it takes.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Ringing ]

It’s trina. I can’t take your call right now. Please leave a message and I’ll call you back.

[ Beep ]

Trina. Call me. I made you an ice pack. Esme! Get out!

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m sorry. What are you apologizing for? Honestly, I’m not even sure. I just thought I should. Oh, you don’t have to be sorry. Tonight was really, really nice — daddy, daddy! Hey, hey, hey, hey. What’s the matter, sweetheart? Aunt elizabeth can’t leave. Not yet. Glad you came by. Good to see you. Of course. You know I always love spending time with you. Can I get you anything, or…? No, no, I’m fine, thanks. I’m just a little curious. What did you want to talk to me about? Your future.

Spencer: Esme! Get out! I’m sorry, trina. I’ll call you again later.

I am so sorry for keeping you waiting. [ Sighs ] But I’m glad you’re here. I’ve been wanting to talk to you. Well, that works out, because I’ve been wanting to talk to you, too. Really? About spencer? No. About curtis. I know what he did.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hello? Jordan. Glad I caught you. Um, I know it’s late notice, but are you free for dinner tonight? I’m free, but I have no interest in spending my evening with you. Come on. Don’t you think we need to clear the air? As far as I’m concerned, the air is crystal clear. We’re done.

[ Knock on door ] Hold on. Yes?

[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing heavily ]


did you have a bad dream? Was it — was it the shadow again? Yeah. And it was scary. I tried to find you, but I couldn’T. Aunt elizabeth was gone, too. Oh, sweetheart, we’re — we’re both right here for you. Yeah, daddy’s been here the whole time. Really? I promise. And you’re here, too. We’ve both been here. But what if I fall asleep again? What if the shadow comes back and I can’t find either of you again? It’s okay. It’s okay. That is not at all what I was expecting you to say. Gladys and I were talking. She says you’re ready to end the guardianship. That is true. I will forever be grateful to gladys for everything that she has done for me, but I don’t want to be a burden on her any longer. You’re not a burden. To any of us. We just — we just care about you. We want you back on your own two feet. That means a lot. But my decision is only partly about gladys. I just think it’s time. What if I told you gladys thinks you’re not ready? Gladys came to see you about me? Yeah, um, she seems to think that you’re rushing things a little bit. And she’s worried. So am I. I told you I’m fine! Now go! I am not going anywhere. You could have a broken rib or internal bleeding. I don’t have either. I think I would know. Right. Because of all the medical expertise you have. What happened to you, anyway? Did someone attack you? We just got in a little fight. Who is “we”? Someone you know? Or did you get in a fight with a complete stranger? Would it matter? Why do you care? Ow! What the hell?! Did — did you think what would happen if you got hurt or arrested? Did you even stop to think what that would mean for — no, it all just happened kind of fast. So the answer is no, you didn’t think.

[ Sighing ] God!

[ Door closes ] I’m sorry. I can’t talk right now. Jordan! J– well, I can guess what you’re here about. Well, it’s not to get into an argument, if that’s what you’re thinking. I’m really not angry. Good, because you shouldn’t be. Well, not at me, anyway. I just don’t understand why you would tell portia about our kiss when we agreed that we would keep it to ourself and that it was best. And if you changed your mind, why wouldn’t you talk to me first? Look, I tried to warn you. Right, and then, so you decided you knew what was best and that all of a sudden telling portia couldn’t wait. I didn’t say a thing to portia about our kiss. I never wanted her to find out at all. Well, if you didn’t tell her, who did? Obviously, I-I-I’m extremely hurt.

[ Scoffs ] Curtis and I have both made mistakes. Why are you letting him off the hook that easily? I’m not letting him off of the hook, trina. This is — this is complicated, okay? Mom, he kissed another woman. His ex-wife! Why aren’t you angrier with him? Why are you getting all riled up at me about this, sweetie? Because he was wrong. Are you really just gonna roll over and let him treat you like this? This has nothing to do with you! You really have to make the bed right now? I’m — I’m still in it.

[ Sighing ] Okay. Pants. Shirt. Sock. Where’s the other sock? It’s on the sconce. Oh. This is weird. Is this your thing? Is it a thing, like a postcoital cleanup thing? ‘Cause that… I mean, I’m okay with it, but it’s a — it’s a little neurotic. I am not neurotic. You’re orderly. You’re neat. You’re — you’re tidy, right? You gonna come back to bed? Okay. Um… so, not too long ago, you and I, w-we were — we were almost yelling at each other, and we were kind of at each other’s throats. And then we decided to do something else instead. And is that something that we need to talk about? No. Nope, there will be no talking. And I will not be coming back to bed, because you are leaving. Now.


you know what? I’ll be right here if you need me for anything, alright? Okay, but can aunt elizabeth come in with you? Well… aunt elizabeth has to go home to her kids. But I promise you, she’ll come in and say good night to you before she leaves. I like it when she’s here. Don’t you, daddy? I really don’t want to get in the middle of this, curtis. This is between you and portia. What? Oh, so now you want to respect boundaries? After the damage has already been done? Look, you can believe me or not. Well, you obviously knew it was coming, or you wouldn’t have tried to warn me. So, if you didn’t tell portia, then who did? N’neka. N’neka? N’neka, yeah. She was at the club that night. You really think n’neka saw us kissing and then went running to tell portia? What am I supposed to think? Who else could it have been?

[ Sighs ] It was your brother-in-law. Zeke was the one who told portia. Why are you trying to protect me? I’m not a child anymore, mom. But you’re always gonna be my child, trina. And I’m not protecting you. Not in the way that you think. Trust me, this is my attempt at being fair. I’m a grown woman and I need to figure out my relationship with curtis on my own. But why? I’m right here. You can tell me anything. I appreciate you so much for saying that. Listen, I don’t want you involved in any issues that I have with curtis or in my marriage. I don’t want you to have to think about any of that. I don’t want you to have to have baggage when you’re dealing with curtis. You shouldn’t have to be taking sides or keeping secrets or anything like that. I just… I don’t want you to worry about any of this.

[ Cellphone rings ] It’s — yeah, go ahead and take that. No, it’s just… it’s just spencer. Wow. You usually can’t pick up the phone fast enough for spencer.

[ Chuckles ] You feeling okay?

[ Chuckles lightly ] Did you two have a fight? No. We didn’T. But spencer did. “If left untreated, rib fractures can have serious short-term consequences, such as severe pain while breathing, pneumonia, and death.” Well, I thought that you didn’t want to be around me. “Long-term consequences are also possible, such as decreased lung function and chronic pain.” Now, tell me, how are you gonna yell at people if your lungs are damaged? Did you ever think about that? Aww, I didn’t realize you cared so much. I am calling a doctor. No, esme, don’t do that. I don’t have a broken rib. You might not know that until symptoms develop later. If they do, then I’ll contact a doctor at that time. Please, stop worrying about me. Who said I was worried? I just don’t want to have to take you to the emergency room in the middle of the night. It — it would throw off ace’s whole sleep schedule. Oh, my mistake. It’s not about me. Which makes sense because in your eyes, I’m not worth worrying about. To you, I’m always gonna be my father’s son.

[ Keys clatter ] Take a hint, will you? You’re throwing me out? Wow, nothing gets by you. Well, except my keys, apparently.

[ Laughs ] Oh, come on. We — we both know this was a mistake. But we’re adults, so we can skillfully pretend that it never happened. N-now get a move on, because your shoes are next. And I’ll have much better aim. Y-you don’t need to do that. I-I don’t want to stay somewhere I’m not wanted. But just so you know… I-I feel that what went on here was not a mistake. If it weren’t for nikolas’ accidental death, we wouldn’t even be here. We would hardly know each other. Yeah, but we do know each other. And we are here. And I think that there are actual, literal scratches on my back that let me know that you might think that there are worse ways to spend an evening.


Yes. I like it when elizabeth is here. But don’t you think your cousins would miss her if she was here all the time? They could come, too. Or we could go there. Oh, boy. How’s it going out here? Oh.

[ Gasps ] Aunt elizabeth! Guess what I have. How would you like some of my very special sleepy time magic milk? Hey, how did you know about that? Oh, all the mommies know. Oh. Did you make sure to add the secret ingredient? Well, of course. It wouldn’t be magic without it. It tastes different than when daddy makes it. Mm! Aunt elizabeth’s is better. Aw. But yours is good, too, daddy. Yeah. Thank you, sweetheart.

[ Both laugh ] I think I’m doing the right thing by ending my guardianship, but I wish that I was sure. Alright, listen, tell me what doubts you’re having. Um… it’s just that… some days, I feel strong and confident and healthy. And then other days, are just…so-so.

[ Chuckles ] Where everything just feels off and it feels like I’m just pretending to hold it together.

[ Exhales deeply ] But those… those don’t bother me that much. I’m — I’m used to those. I think we — we all have so-so days, right? Probably.

[ Both laugh ] Those are not the days that — that scare me. The — the days that terrify me are… the bad days. The days when the darkness just comes back. Because it will happen for no reason at all. I will be putting sugar into my coffee, and then suddenly I’m remembering when I was pregnant and I couldn’t have caffeine. And it was the worst. But it was totally worth it ’cause I already loved my baby so much, and… I just couldn’t wait to meet him. Of course you couldn’T. And then I’m remembering… that my baby is gone. And the sadness just takes over. And it just feels like A… like a weight is pressing down on my heart and… and it scares me because I don’t know — was that a memory or — or was it just a delusion? Did I somehow think that I was pregnant again? We both know what grief does. Plays tricks with your mind and messes with your sense of time. That’s what I think, too. Because, you know, the next day might be so-so again. A-and the day after that might even be good. So, does it scare me to think about being on my own again and — and make my own decisions? Yes. But something inside of me is telling me that I am ready. And… I think it’s time that I start listening to that voice. But maybe I’m making a mistake. What do you think, sonny? Do you think that I am doing the wrong thing by trusting myself? I can see that you don’t w antto discuss our relationship. We don’t even have a relationship! We’re being blackmailed together. That’s it. I do enjoy your company, ava. We were just yelling at each other not too long ago. Well, almost. I-I mean, there was A…

[ Sighs ] We were trying to release a lot of pressure and, clearly, sexual tension. Oh, you are really sure of yourself. No, I’m — I’m not, actually. Not at all. I-in fact, it’s really difficult for me to let people in. And I don’t mean to presume to speak for you, but I think I-I — it’s really hard to make a human connection. And I’m just saying, let’s be honest. L-l-let’s admit to one another that we just had a profound human physical connection. You lied to me, you kidnapped my daughter, and now you’re saying that I — I owe you honesty? Oh, okay. I can see where you’re going with this. Okay, so — so, under certain terms — I have a little advice for you. Don’t ever pull a stunt like that again. Because if you do, the next body I dump in the stables… …is gonna be yours. I don’t know much about nikolas except that he kept me locked in a tower because he wanted to keep my baby away from me. And I know if given the chance, you would do the same. Just in case. I just want to take care of my brother ace, so… well, I guess that is the difference between the two of you, because at least you’re here. He isn’T. And since we’ve moved into your grandmother’s, you have been pretty reliable. Up until now. What happened tonight? I got into a fight. Why? With josslyn’s new boyfriend. And I did it because I was angry and because I don’t like him and I don’t like what he did. Josslyn was dating my friend cameron when she met dex, and she was still seeing him when dex and josslyn got together for the first time. Then why are you mad at dex? Uh, isn’t that josslyn’s fault? You wouldn’t understand. There’s more — there’s more to it than that. You don’t know why you hit him, do you? I don’t understand why we’re talking about this. Because you’re literally the last person that I want to confide in, esme. Well, that’s dumb. Because I might be the only person who actually understands. Yeah? Why is that? Well, because I do it, too. I mean, I-I-I get angry, I lash out, I make choices that I regret, I make mistakes. And the worst part is when I do get mad, everyone’s just looking around and judging me like, “oh, look, there she goes again. Back to her old lying ways. I knew she couldn’t be trusted.” And you have confirmed all of their worst suspicions about you. And they have no idea that the entire time, you were just trying to do the right thing. Spencer and I went to the highsider. The highsider? The — the biker bar where oz haggerty worked? Yeah. We were looking for evidence to use against esme to prove that she’s guilty. And let me guess, this little excursion was spencer’s idea? Not exactly. You know, I-I don’t even care whose idea it was. I-I don’t like you going to that place. Mom. We weren’t just going to that place.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Anyway… so, joss had the same idea. She brought dex. And spencer picked a fight.

Again. So, it looks like spencer is back to his old ways. Yeah. And I don’t even recognize him anymore. Really? Because I can. To me, he will always be the boy who lied to my daughter, put her into harm’s way. How does zeke know what happened between you and me? I told him. What — why did you do that? Because I didn’t know who he was. I’d just found out that you were moving back in with portia, and I needed someone to talk to. Zeke was just a friendly stranger with a sympathetic ear. We met at the metro court, and I started venting. I didn’t use any names, just told him I had kissed my ex but it wasn’t going anywhere. If you didn’t use any names, how did he figure it out? Portia introduced us. It didn’t take zeke long to put two and two together. I told him to keep it to himself, but he said he had to tell her. I just don’t understand how you could tell someone, a perfect stranger, something so personal about us. That’s just not like you.

[ Scoffs ] I needed someone to confide in. You had portia. And I was all alone.

[ Knock on door ] And now that you know, I don’t see what else there is to talk about.


Curtis. If I didn’t have time to talk to you on the phone, what made you think I wanted you to come by my office? Well, it’s not like I knew curtis was gonna be here. Didn’t you tell my sister it was over between you and jordan? That’s none of your business. Mm. Don’t you think you’ve caused enough problems between portia and me? Well, I wouldn’t be involved if you had just been honest with her from the beginning. I bet you just can’t wait to run back to portia and tell her you found me here tonight. After what you put my sister through, what do you expect? I expect you to keep your damn mouth shut, zeke. Or you and me… we’re gonna have a problem. I remember how spencer treated me. But he’s changed. Has he, though?

[ Scoffs ] Because the fight that you’re describing makes it sound like maybe he’s still working on it. You think I’m being naive? I didn’t — I didn’t say that. I didn’t say that. Look, I-I do see what you’re saying with spencer. He has made significant strides in growing up since you’ve met him. Yes. And it’s largely because of you. Yes, he has. He’s more mature now, asking for help when he needs it. And he seems like he’s really, you know, taking the responsibility of ace seriously with esme. And esme’s even open to taking a parenting class with spencer, which goes to show his responsibility, right? That sounds like a good sign. But by the look on your face, maybe it’s not a good sign. No, I mean… I’m glad spencer is being responsible towards ace. Mm-hmm. But what?

[ Sighs ] It’s nothing. Sweetheart. Honey, it’s me. I’m your mom. I know you. You can talk to me. I don’t care about the class. But I can’t stand the thought of spencer spending even one extra second with esme. Sounds like we’re both trying to be better people. You’re just now figuring that out? Yes. Obviously, I have been trying to be better. It’s possible that I haven’t been giving you much of a chance. Whatever. It’s not a big deal. I actually get how it might be harder for you. For me? Why? Well, because you remember the terrible person that you were. I just have to be told about myself over and over. Yeah, that’s hard. Yes. I mean, constantly hearing what a terrible person you are from everyone. You know, you’re the only one who never talks about our history. We… dated in boarding school, right? Mm-hmm. For like a year. What were we like as a couple? I don’t like to remember that time. Understandable. But just tell me, were we really these awful people destroying everything we touched?

[ Chuckles ] No. Not always.

[ Both laugh ] Um… I was very unhappy when we met. I was estranged from my father and I had a big chip on my shoulder because of that. I didn’t have any friends, just people who wanted to get close to me because I had money. So, I was a bit of a jerk in return because of that. You? A jerk? No way. And then I met you and you really listened to me and you took an interest in my life. And you didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear because I’m a cassadine. And I started to depend on you, more than I think you knew. But it was all… none of it was real. And you were manipulating me the entire time. You were my first love. And you were just using me. How is she? Finally asleep. Your milk did the trick. Apparently, yours is more magical than mine. It’s the cinnamon.

[ Chuckles ] I can’t thank you enough. You’re really good with her. I’m glad you feel that way. I was hoping that I-I wasn’t overstepping by making the magic milk.

[ Chuckles ] No. Not at all. You know, my boys are growing up, and with cameron all the way in california, I’ve just been feeling it lately. They’ll always need you. I know, but not in the same way. Guess I got to let them grow up at some point. Or so I’ve been told.

[ Chuckles ] You know, violet’s always here if your mom urge gets real strong. You know how much she likes seeing you. Careful. I’ll be over here every night making magic milk.

[ Chuckles ] I’m kidding. I’m just kidding. Yeah, no, I know. Well, I should get going — would you like a cup of tea — oh.

[ Both chuckle ] You need to get home to the boys. Yeah. Yeah, I should. Even though they won’t be nearly as happy to see me as violet was.

[ Laughs ] Violet…and — and me.


what do I think? Uh, well, I mean, you didn’t tell me if you’re fine, if you’re alright, it’s all — you know, you don’t need anybody, and you’re all better.

[ Chuckles ] I only wish I was that confident. Well, it’s a good thing, ’cause if you would have said that, then I’d say that, you know, you need to spend a few more months with gladys. ‘Cause in my experience, people who say that everything’s great all the time, you know, usually aren’T. That makes a lot of sense. You can’t be great all the time, especially… after what you’ve gone through. Let me explain something to you. You can handle a lot more than you think. That’s why I think it’s time for you to be on your own. Now, don’t get mad at me ’cause you kissed jordan. I had to tell portia. Did you? Yes, I did. And neither one of you would have done the same thing if you were in my position. That’s not even what I’m talking about. You told trina, right after I found out that she was my daughter, to steer clear of me. I didn’t even get into any specifics with her, alright? That’s even worse, because you let her imagination run wild. She was just beginning to trust me, man. Well, maybe she shouldn’T. Maybe neither one of you should be trusted. Jordan, why don’t you remind me just how you two met in the first place? I’m starting to see why you’re so angry with me. I’m angrier with myself. For letting myself be manipulated by you. Okay. Sure. The old esme was calculating. But I seriously doubt someone could fake a relationship for a whole year. Who are you trying to make feel better here — me or you? Maybe both. Um… I [Chuckles] Think the old esme must’ve really liked you. Even just a little. That’s doubtful. Although… what?

[ Laughing ] No. No. What? There was this one time when I was trying to figure out what to get you for your birthday, and I didn’t really know what to get you, so I was asking around. I asked the same friends who were still leeching on me for money, and they told me that I should get you jewelry. Something expensive. Which makes sense, right? So I did. Generous. But then there was this snow globe that I got when I was a kid. And I had taken it with me to school. And it was so cheesy. It was like two skiers on top of a mountain with a log cabin and fir trees. It was hideous. I don’t know why you liked it, but you did. You loved it and you played with it every single time you came into my room. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why. So, at the last minute, I grabbed that as well. Instead of the jewelry? No, no, no, no. I gave you both just to be safe. Oh. Okay. Yeah. And don’t get me wrong, you liked the jewelry. But your face when you saw this snow globe… I mean, the expression was one of pure joy. I’d never seen anything like it before in my whole life, esme. And I still — I-I can’t figure out why someone would have liked a regifted snow globe so much.

[ Both laugh ] I can. The old esme really liked you. It wouldn’t bother me that much if it was anyone other than esme. After what she did to me, joss, and cam, I-I… ugh! The thought of her being with spencer makes me sick. Esme deserves to pay for her crimes, and — and hopefully the evidence is found to bring her to justice. But the pcpd, they’ve been down this road already and they’ve come up empty. Maybe they’ll never find anything. Then what? Esme will just be in my life forever? Honey, nobody can predict the future. But, um… if spencer’s in your life and ace is in his, then esme will be in yours.


Uh, thank you. A-and I’d keep that on for another 10 minutes. I can’t accept that esme will always be in my life. I want to be with spencer. Or at least I thought I did. Just not like this. He’s either spending all of his time with esme or raising a child on his own. That’s what I’ve been trying to get you to see, trina. You have to have your own life. Honey, you are smart. You’re beautiful. You have opportunity. There are so many experiences out there for you to have. You have this whole big world that you haven’t even tapped into yet. Please, please, don’t make it smaller. Not when you don’t have to. I can see what’s going on here. Back off, curtis. It’s none of your business. I can handle my own ex-husband, thank you. But zeke’s right. Stay out of it. Look, I don’t care what happened between you. But my daughter — that is my business. Zeke better think twice before he interferes in our business again.

[ Scoffs ] Well, that was awkward. Now that he’s gone, we should talk. There’s nothing to discuss. You know the way out.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] I am so glad that we had this talk, sonny. I wasn’t sure if I was making the right decision, but you made me feel good about it. Well, you know, you can never be 100% sure, but I can tell you what — you’re — you’re on the right track. That means the world to me. And listen, just because you’re ending the guardianship doesn’t mean that you’re on your own. I’m always here to back you. You know that. And I think gladys is, too. Now get out of here. Go live your life.

[ Laughs ] Enjoy yourself. Thank you, sonny. Really, I mean it. Thank you. I had a really good time, too.

[ Chuckles ] But you’ve just gone on an 8-year-old’s version of the perfect date.

[ Laughs ] And I can’t thank you enough for letting her do that. It was fun. Really. You don’t have to say that. I’d offer you a ride home, but…

[ Chuckles ] Your baby’s asleep. And I drove myself here, so… okay. Good night. Good night. If I leave now, I got to wake the boat launching guy. So wouldn’t it just be better if I spent the night? You could always swim. Really. The water is really very warm this time of year. Okay. Yeah, I-I couldn’t do that. I can’T. I’m exhausted. And I think you know why. In fact, I-I’m willing to bet that you’re gonna sleep pretty soundly tonight, ava.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Hope: Liam, please– [ Sobs ] Please listen to me. We– we shouldn’t let this ruin what we worked so hard–

Liam: You kissed thomas, hope. You– you kissed him.

Hope: I know, I know–

Liam: You grabbed his face, leaned in, and you kissed him!

Hope: I know, but I love you! It was a mistake, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I know that I messed up. I don’t know– I don’t know what I was thinking. But please, liam, please tell me that we can work through this. Please! Tell me you can forgive me.

Finn: I’m gonna go, babe. I’m gonna be late.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sorry. About hope and liam. Okay? I really am.

Steffy: Yeah, I wanted to be wrong. For liam’s sake.

Finn: He flew halfway across the world to find his wife kissing another man.

Steffy: Liam has always said that hope is the most forgiving person he has ever known. So, maybe he can find forgiveness to keep their marriage alive.

Finn: Liam didn’t catch hope just kissing any man.

Steffy: I know. And that’s why I feel bad for thomas in all this.

Finn: Yeah, but knowing everything that your brother has put liam and hope through in the past and how much liam distrusts thomas, I mean, I have a hard time believing that liam is just gonna accept and forgive hope’s feelings for thomas.

Hope: Liam, I know that you are hurt and I know that you are angry.

Liam: I’m hurt and I’m angry because I can’t unsee you kissing thomas. That’s why I’m hurt and angry.

Hope: So then– so then stop thinking about it! Just try to think about the future of our family. About beth, about douglas.

Liam: I am thinking about beth! I am thinking about douglas. I am thinking about how this is going to affect them, only this time, the threat to our happiness is not just thomas, is it? It’s you! It’s you. And you’ve been gaslighting me for months. All this time, I was so worried that something would happen and never thought it was this. I never thought it would be you pursuing him, you kissing him, you falling for him.

Hope: It’s not like that! It wasn’t like that. I know– I know you want some sort of ex– explanation, but I can’t give you one, because there is none, because I don’t even understand it. I didn’t want this. I don’t know why I’m feeling this way. I don’t– I was trying to fight against it, and I just– [ Sobs ] It’s not an excuse. It’s not. It’s not. And I know that all– all I can say is I’m sorry. Liam, I– I am– I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Liam: I don’t believe you. I wish I could accept your apology, I just– I’m tired. I’m really tired. I– um… I’m gonna come back, I’m gonna get some of my stuff, but, um… I’m gonna leave.

Hope: Liam…

Liam: And, uh… I want a divorce.

Hope: What?

Liam: And we’ll work it out with the kids. I just, uh… I just can’T. I can’t do this anymore. And, um, plus, I don’t– I don’t really know who you are, so… bye, hope.

Finn: Hope and liam are a strong couple, but… this is a big issue.

Steffy: I warned hope to get her feelings under control. And I told liam what was going on because this is exactly what I was afraid of. Think of all the things this could impact. Their relationship, our families, the business. The line!

Finn: Yeah, I know– we don’t know anything yet, right? And a lot can still happen.

Steffy: Yeah, most of it’s bad.

Finn: Okay. I– I– I feel terrible. I gotta go to work.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. I know I made you late enough.

Finn: Look, maybe I am being pessimistic, all right? They do love each other. Maybe that’s strong enough to hold ’em together.

Steffy: You’re just saying that because you don’t want me to worry.

Finn: [ Chuckles ] I’m saying that because I know that that kind of love exists. Whether they have it or not, I don’t know. I know one couple that does. Okay.

[ Knock on door ]

Hope: Liam!

Rj: Hey. What’s up?

Hope: Rj, hi.

Rj: I heard you were home, and I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on your success. Hey, what’s– what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Wyatt: Hey. Uh, I got your message. Why’d you want to meet here? Is dad back?

Liam: Um… no, he– he’s, uh, he’s on the stella maris. I don’t know when he’s gonna be back. But, um… when he is, I’m moving in.

Wyatt: You’re moving in with– with dad? Oh, shoot… uh… well, what– what happened? Did– did you– did you talk to hope?

Liam: I tried to talk to her. I– I asked her, “how was your trip?” But she didn’t– she just wanted to talk about how– how good it was until she saw my italian luggage tags on my bag. And then she wondered why I would go all the way to rome and not see her.

Wyatt: Only you– you did…

Liam: Yeah, I sure did.

[ Sighs ] Now, I can’t unsee her. The love of my life making out with my worst enemy. And she kissed him, too. My god, she just– she initiated the whole thing. She just went for it.

Wyatt: I– I know, and– and I’m– I’m sorry, man. I– this– it’s gotta be a real punch in the gut for you.

Liam: I’m just tired. You know? I’m tired of thomas occupying so much space in the middle of my relationship, and it’s never gonna change, and it’s exhausting, and I just don’t wanna do that anymore.

Wyatt: Okay. Look, so you– you’ll moving in with dad, right? You know, you’ll take some time to cool off. That’s– that’s good.

Liam: Time is not gonna fix this. Nor is any excuse about the magic of rome, or, you know, getting caught up in the moment, or riding the high of the preview, or even hope turning into her mother. This is not– I didn’t leave to cool off. I left because my marriage is over, and I asked for a divorce. (Dog barking) we love our pets.

-During an asthma attack,

Liam: I can’t– I can’t take it.

Wyatt: [ Scoffs ] Oh, okay, fine. You– you saw your wife kissing thomas of all people, and it’s freaking heartbreaking. But liam–

Liam: Hey, I can’T. I’m telling you that I can’t do that anymore. It’s so obvious hope has feelings for thomas, even if she can’t admit it to herself at this point. And that– that’s not something I can just live with forever, especially after– it’s thomas, man! I mean, after– after everything that he’s done to us and our marriage and our family… it doesn’t matter what angle you look at this from. My feelings are not gonna change.

Wyatt: Okay, but that’s what you’re feeling right now. And you’re in the heat of it right now, right? That– it’s understandable–

Liam: Wyatt. Wyatt.

Wyatt: I’d be pissed off too.

Liam: Wyatt. It’s over. My marriage is over.

[ Wyatt sighs ]

Wyatt: I mean… all right. I’m– I’m here for you, you know, whatever you need. You– you can always count on me.

Liam: I know that.

Wyatt: So… what now? Where– where do you– where do you go from here?

[ Liam scoffs ]

Liam: I have so many regrets.

Wyatt: About? Whoa. Liam.

Rj: Hey, hey. You can talk to me, okay? Tell me, let me– let me help you.

Hope: No, it’s too late for that.

Rj: You just got back from rome. Your collection was a hit! You did great. I thought– I thought you’d be on top of the world right now.

Hope: [ Laughs ] I was… until I messed it all up.

Rj: Where’s liam? Is liam here?

Hope: No. I was so excited to get home and to see him and the kids and to tell them all about my trip. I mean, I even got them, like, little souvenirs, and… instead I come home and liam’s just sitting there alone.

[ Sobs ]

Rj: What’s going on, hope? Talk to me, all right? Tell me what happened.

Hope: Okay. Um… liam wanted to know everything about the trip, and so I told him about the preview and the press event, and, um, you know, that it was a success. And– and then I saw, right over there, his luggage with a tag from the rome airport.

Rj: He– he ended up going to rome? Oh, that’s great! Well, finn and I were trying to convince him to go to surprise you.

Hope: He missed the entire event and I didn’t even see him.

Rj: He went all the way there and you– you didn’t even see him?

Hope: Oh, no, no. He saw me, um… at the colosseum. I just– I didn’t know.

Rj: So he– he saw you but he didn’t speak a word to you? Hope, that doesn’t make any sense.

Hope: Yeah. Rj, you should know that after the big event, and it was a success, and it was great, and we were all celebrating, I wanted to go sightseeing. And I wasn’t really thinking, and I just, um… got caught up in the moment, and I, um, I– I– I was, um… I was at the colosseum, but I– I wasn’t alone.

Rj: Were you with thomas? I know he doesn’t like seeing the two of you together, but you’re saying that he saw the two of you celebrating together and that pissed him off so much that he flew all the way back to la? Why, hope?

[ Knock on door ]

Steffy: Liam.

Liam: Hi. I didn’t, um, see finn’s car in the driveway.

Steffy: Yeah, he left for the hospital. What’s going on? Why are you here?

[]

Hope: You know, I– I don’t want to lay all my problems on my little brother, so.

Rj: Okay. Well, do you want me to get mom? I can get mom.

Hope: No! No. She’ll learn about it sooner or later. Everyone will.

Rj: Learn what? Is this about liam not staying in rome? ‘Cause I can tell something happened when you got home. I mean, you said he was here and now he’s not. Did you guys just have an argument?

Hope: Yes, and I have never seen him more hurt or disillusioned.

Rj: With you? Why? Hope, you’re an amazing mom and an amazing wife. He’s lucky to have you. All right, this is– this is all some kind of misunderstanding. You know.. [ Laughs ] …What kind of guy flies all the way to rome just to surprise his wife? I think he cares about her a little bit. And yeah, he– he saw you with thomas, and that’s gonna piss him off, and it’s always gonna piss him off, but that doesn’t change the fact that he absolutely loves you.

Hope: Yeah, he did.

Rj: He did? That’s a question now? So you’re saying he saw you and thomas together in rome, and just that freaked him out so much that he went back to la? What did he see, hope?

Hope: Rj, you know how much family means to me, and how much I love liam and our kids, and that is the truth. And even though liam might not believe it right now, it, um… I guess that I don’t really blame him for thinking that after what he saw.

[ Chuckles tearfully ] So, um, yeah. When I– when he saw me at the colosseum, I wasn’t just with thomas. I kissed him.

Steffy: Liam, what’s going on?

Liam: How’s kelly? Is she happy you’re home?

Steffy: Kelly’s fine. It’s not why you’re here, is it? You were waiting for hope to get home. So what– what happened? Did she admit to kissing thomas?

Liam: Ha! No. No, I had to tell her what I saw.

Steffy: So what did– what did she say?

Liam: “I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. Please forgive me.”

Steffy: Well, did you? Did you forgive her?

Liam: Well, I left her. So, I’m done with this, steffy. Hope and I are over.

Steffy: No, liam. Liam, you don’t– you don’t mean that.

Liam: I do. Well, I mean it enough to ask for a divorce.

Steffy: A divorce?

Liam: Steffy, I– I can’t even look at her. What am I supposed to do?

Steffy: Oh, my god.

Liam: Hope and me…

[ Scoffs ] …We’re done. Okay? I just– I can’t– I can’t keep doing this over and over again. I just can’T. I gotta… I gotta move on with my life.

[ Steffy sighs ] Yeah. Yeah, I gotta move on.

Steffy: Can’t wh–
