THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Well, thank you for agreeing to see us this morning. I know how busy you are. I am. So let’s keep this short. Okay, short. It is, uh, as we’ve discussed, my client has agreed to testify against Colin Bedford in exchange for some certain considerations. Actually, I’ve changed my mind about that. Excuse me. Yeah.

I think it sets a terrible precedent for a truly dangerous criminal to be given a walk in exchange for pointing the finger at our co-conspirator. Okay, well, it’s not your job to decide whether she’s dangerous or a criminal. It’s the court’s job. And in court I will present an open and closed case that will put Ms.

Hunter away for a long, long time.

I hope that if we went over everything again, maybe. So maybe we’d find something that we’d missed and all we missed was a night’s sleep. Yeah, thanks. Now they said the academy, that missing person cases go dry after three days. It’s been missing now almost three weeks. Rafe, we’ll find him. Yeah,

that that’s great. I will. Thank you so much. That was the Salem Health Department. They’re letting me reopen sweet bits. That’s wonderful, baby. Oh mama. I’m sorry. It wasn’t news about Abe. I keep saying to myself any day now, his memory will come back. The doctor said it could, and my, my phone will ring and it will be him.

I’ll go wherever he is and bring him home.

Time for breakfast time. Breakfast from my baby. Here we go. Here we go. Bon Appit boat meal again. Well, it’s, it’s heart healthy, and I want you to live a long life. Well, facing this every morning is going to seem like a long life. You know, when we renewed our vows yesterday, I promised to love you through sickness and health, and I’m gonna do my best to make sure that it’s mainly in health.

Wasn’t it nice to say those words again? Yesterday? Would’ve been nicer if we’d had our family there. Oh wow. That means you’re gonna really like the surprise that I have for you. Bacon. Oh, it’s better than bacon. Your son is back in Salem,

Theo. Oh my God. It is so good to see you again. Hi Kate. Oh, honey, I wish it was under circumstances. Me too. Listen, I uh, I heard your speech at Juneteenth. No, no, my, that was my dad’s speech. No, honey, you made that speech your own. He would be so proud of you. Do you think he’s gonna be okay? Of course I do.

You know how strong he is? Right now I know that he is working on getting back to you. I wish that I could be so short.

Theo thought you told me he lived overseas. He did, but he came back home because of your situation. So I’m going to see him. That’s right. You know, I’m thinking if I can see my son, my own flesh and blood, then I can remember him and then I can remember everything.

Like Sam through the hour. So are the days of lives.

You know, your dad and I had known each other for a long time, but I think I really got to know him. When thanks to me, you were in the hospital fighting for your life. No, I think that was, thanks to me being shot. Yeah. But that was my fault, you know? No, he never left your bedside ever, except of course when the doctors would, would make him leave your room.

I watched him go through parent hell, and he never wavered. I think, I think it was his love for you that we’ll do to come back and I, I really believe that that same love is gonna wheel him back to you. I hope you’re right.

I’m sorry, I, I have to go. Someone needs me right now. Okay. Phil, what is it?

Now, Abe, listen to me. I I don’t want you to get your hopes up. You know, you may not remember him right away, and that’s okay. I keep telling you these kinds of cases. Sometimes they just take time. Wait a minute, why isn’t he here? I mean, if he came here to see me, why? Why didn’t he come straight here? Well, because seeing him right away is gonna be stressful for both of you.

He wanted me to break it to you first, and so I did. And I just texted him and he’s on his way.

Eli. Whoa. What’s happening man? Wow. It’s good to see you. Hey, you doing hi? Looking good, man. Thanks. You too. Uh, hey, um, this is, uh, Jada. I don’t think you two, I’m sorry. Detective Hunter, this is, uh, Eli Grant. F b I used to work at Salem pd. Nice to meet you. Same here. Yeah. He’s also Abe’s, uh, son-in-law. Oh.

Figured. I’d come by and see if there’s any, anything I can do to help. Great. Well hopefully a fresh pair of eyes will help us find something that we missed. Yeah. This is everything we got. All right. You guys been pretty thorough? Oh yeah. Yeah. We spent the night going over everything, but, uh, nothing’s jumping out at us.

So, uh, let me walk you through So far. No, no, no. Jada, you go home. You’ve already been here all night. Well, so have you go home, get something to eat and get some rest. That’s an order. Has he always been this wishy That’s one of his best qualities. So, go on. I’ll let you know if something happens here.

Please do. Okay, Eli, it was great meeting you. Hopefully you can bring us some luck. Yeah, have a good one. See ya.

She’s great. She’s great. She’s been through a lobby. She never gives up. She’s not real. Ask that to the team.

What, what with the look? No, no. It’s. I’m, I’m happy for you. Oh, you’re, you’re okay. You’re happy for me? Yeah. She seems like you know. Good girl. Clearly there’s something going on between you two.

I know you’re not gonna deny it.

All I said was that Jada has an incredible work ethic and that she’s been a real asset to the team. And yeah, you know, it’s been intense between us because we have been working so closely together, especially on this case, and I have worked a lot of big cases and as intense as they’ve been. I don’t recall us ever holding Nance when I walked in.

Y’all were holding Nance.

Okay, fine. Mm, fine. All right. Jada and I are, we’re attracted to each other, but we also both know that nothing can come of it.

Jada. Hi. Oh my God, Kate. Oh my goodness. I am so glad to see you alive and back. Well, how do you think I feel, you know, this probably shouldn’t be the first thing I say to you, but you look like you’re feeling a little rough. Well, don’t sugarcoat it. Well, I’m just saying you dragged yourself in here. Did you have a night on the town?

Yeah, a night on the town at the station house going over Abe’s case. Oh yeah, I know. I’m so sorry. Of course. Of course. I’ll tell you. It’s just a nightmare, isn’t it? I’m just praying that he is somewhere alive and well. Yeah, we are all praying that. Ralph and I spent the night going over yet again.

Everything that we have, right. You know, um, I hope you’re a personal relationship isn’t going to be a distraction, you know, working on the case now, why would it be? Well, I mean, I have to admit that I do read Lady Whistle. Lowers column every once in a while. And, uh, recently she reported that you and Ray were seen being affectionate in the office.

So kissing you mean? Yeah. Well I wasn’t being so blunt. I mean, but it’s not like I had put stock in idle gossip anyway. Well, it’s, it’s not idle gossip. It’s, it’s the truth.

Big mama’s packing to go home. And of course she wouldn’t even hear of me trying to help. She’s pretty upset about going home before we found aid. What’d you say? Nothing important. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah. I, uh, was just about to post the job opening at Sweet Bits, and then I got caught in a bag. Kind of dejavu reminded you of Talia?

No, I didn’t need to be reminded. I ran into her yesterday. She’s out on bail. Did she threaten you? No, nothing like that. She was putting up posters asking if anyone had seen Abe, why would she be doing that? She was probably trying to help her case so that the DA will go easy on her. Wait, but you said that Talia, let me handle this.

My client and Colin Bedford are not co-conspirators. Yes, Talia committed some crimes at his instigation, which means that he is responsible for everything Talia did at his behest. But let’s not forget that on his own, he held a gun to Chanel Dupre’s, head to coerce Paulina Price to jump off a five story building.

Do you really think a guy like that should walk? Because without my client’s testimony, without your client’s testimony, I still have a rock solid case against Bedford. Ms. Hunter’s own sister, a Salem police officer is an eyewitness to what happened on that roof, and Paulina Price will testify to his attack against Mayor Carver, which will give me enough to lock your boyfriend up for a very long time.

He’s not my boyfriend. Not anymore. Well, that’s probably for the best I’ve heard. It’s hard to keep a relationship when each of you are serving long sentences in different correctional facilities. Oh, watch it more. I’ve got your confession to your own sister about you drugging those biscuits. And trashing Paulina Price’s office, which means I can use your own words to prove to the judge and jury that you are guilty as hell.

Okay? There is no need to pile on Melinda. Oh, am I supposed to be polite to her? I am a fit and healthy woman. And your drugs that you put in those biscuits sent me to the emergency room. Heaving my guts out all night long. It could have killed a child, a senior, anyone with a compromised immune system. Did you even think about that?

Did you? Okay. Did you think about the fact that she actually saved Chanel and Paulina’s life and nearly died in the process? You would’ve never been on that roof in the first place if it wasn’t for your client. Look, I don’t take my job lightly, and I’ve gone over and over the evidence. And there is nothing there that indicates any kind of leniency.

Okay, here’s something new.

I got Jack. There you go. Okay. I’m a little nervous. I, I just hope I, I, I hope I recognize him. If I don’t, I, I don’t know how that make him feel. Oh God. I told him about your condition. He’ll understand. You seem a little nervous. Maybe just a little. Are you and Theo getting along? Well, to be honest, we don’t really know each other that well.

I’ll get it.

Well, here he is, your son, Philo. Hello Pops.

I also think that Toya is working some angle trying to convince everyone that all the things she did were Colin’s fault. Is that what she said? No. No. She apologized and tried to take responsibility for what she did. So tell me this, are you thinking of forgiving her?

Oh, I’ll get it. Hmm.

Hey y’all. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here, honey. Hey, I came as soon as I got your text. What’s up? Oh, mama Price is uh, leaving for Florida this morning and she wouldn’t leave us saying goodbye to you. What she actually said was, I have to see that handsome face of his. One more time.

Is this my son? Yes it is. It’s uh, good to see you again, pops. Thank you for coming. No problem, sir. Uh, you really don’t remember me? I am, I’m sorry. I, I don’t, well just give it time. You two just need to get to know each other again. Theo, sit down.

Uh, yes. Would you, uh, like some coffee? Uh, no, I’m good. Oh.

Uh, uh, so, uh, how was your flight? Uh, it was good. Long. Yeah? Yeah. So, uh, where, where are you living now? Uh, south America, South Africa. I, uh, sorry, uh, a major jet lag. I had a layover in Brazil. I got mixed up. You, you had a stop over in Brazil on a flight from South Africa. That’s, uh, Boy, that’s way out of the way.

I, uh, got a deal. Cheap flights. Huh? Must have had it whole day. You know, you know what aid You are always so good at geography. You know me. I get lost on my way to the hospital sometimes. Oh, pops. Would you mind if I had a talk with Paulina out in the corridor? Why I, I don’t think that’s necessary. Paulina, right, please.

Yes. Excuse us. Let’s talk.

You didn’t tell me that The guy you were talking about was the mayor. What has she been with? Amnesia. He’s no fool. I mean, he’s not only good at geography, but he knows damn well there’s something going on. Because like an idiot. You said that you were from South America. I gave you Theo’s background. I didn’t have time to read all that stuff you sent and, and I, I didn’t expect to get grilled or, or that or that.

What? That he’s a good guy who needs help, needs his real family. I’m sorry, I can’t do this. You mean nothing can come of it? She’s single, right? She is. Okay. Well so are you. What’s the problem? Good jobs. Okay. Look, I know from experience that two cops getting together isn’t easy, but Lonnie and I proved that it’s possible.

You and Lonnie were partners. I’m Jade’s boss. Okay. And there are now new regulations in place. Fraternization with a subordinate is now grounds for dismissal. Yeah. Forgot about those new regulations. Mm-hmm. That sucks, man. Yeah. Uhhuh. And I know you’re looking at me right now and you’re thinking, oh man, this guy.

He’s got some real bad luck when it comes to women. Oh no. Yeah, I was not thinking that bad. You were. Cause I saw you. All right. You were and you’d be right. Yeah. Well, I am happy for race, happy for you. Well, there’s nothing to be happy about. I mean, the only reason he kissed me was because he was high on those tainted biscuits.

Well, whatever the reason, I don’t know. It seems like when you talk about him, there is a little something there. Okay. Maybe. Yeah. But I mean, we work together and, and plus the city council has all these guidelines. Oh, screw the guidelines. Are you kidding me? You know, I was just telling Eric and Sloan, life is short.

You know, we don’t wanna waste what little time we have. You’re just waiting. You’re just getting older, right? I mean, if you’re interested, you should go for it.

What is that? In a second? Talia, do you take responsibility for drugging those biscuits? Yes, I do. And do you also take responsibility for breaking into and vandalizing MS Price’s office? Yes, I do. You’re just making my case for me. Talia, are you also currently under the care of a psychiatrist? Yes. Um, Dr.

Melina Evans. This is a signed affidavit by Dr. Evans detailing the nature of the relationship between Talia and Colin, and I truly believe this changes everything.

The worst thing about being in a abusive relationship is the shame that we feel. I. A man treats us badly and somehow we still believe it’s our fault.

Years later, we think we’re past it and comes back like malaria. He not only makes us feel unworthy of his love, but of anyone else’s, you keep saying. We and us.

My ex-husband, Mr. Trask, he was a very, um,

shall we say, controlling man. I was so afraid of him. So cow. That I denied the existence of my own daughter. I kept, kept her a secret, um, from him, from the world.

Uh, sometimes I still wonder how I found the strength to break away from him.

I am so sorry. I I’m so sorry that you both have had to suffer like that.

So it’s, it’s clear though, Melinda, that you understand what Talia’s been through, and I, I know that that was really painful for you to share.

What do you think this means for her case?

You are back already. Your mom would not let me drive to the airport. So we got our taxi. And don’t worry, I slept a driver, a 21. Big mama wasn’t looking that way. He’d get more than Bible verses for a tip. Good for you. So Theo, you, you had breakfast, what would you like? No, nothing for me. Thanks. It was great to see your mom again, but I’m afraid I’ve gotta get going.

I’m gonna head down to the police station. I’ll find my dad.

So you really think I should go forward with Rae? Okay. Full disclosure, Ray and I have, uh, a little bit of history. We actually dated for a while. It was years ago. And, uh, even though I had issues with a lot of things that he did, I will say he’s one of that rare breed, a good man. But the work thing don’t, you can just make the work thing work out, you know?

I mean, I would suggest no more p d a in the office, but when you and Rave are in the privacy of your own home, Pass off the city council or anyone else’s business. Right.

Okay. Please. Those are all the witness statements. Like Jada said, maybe a fresh pair of eyes see something we missed. Speaking of eyes, you could barely keep yours open. Why don’t you take your own advice, go home, get something to eat, take a shower and get some rest. I’ll call you if I need anything. I’m actually too tired to argue with you.

That’s cuz you know I’m right. Mm-hmm. Right’s. Good to see you, bro. See you too. I’ll be back this afternoon. Don’t set an alarm. Mm.

You can’t back out on me now. You agreed to do this. Plus I paid you good money. This is a great challenge for an actor. I’m an actor, not a con man. I’m not asking you to con anybody. And wait a minute. Didn’t your grandmother get help when she was in the hospital? Here we go. Yeah, that’s right. Here we go.

Your grandmother had no health insurance, but thanks to me. She got the help that she needed. And what did it cost her? Nothing. Right? Nothing because I doctored her intake form so she could get the help she needed. So you owe me. Jerry, big time. You have been accepted into the family since you’re feeling so sorry for Pops.

I only wanted you to act like his son to help him with his recovery, but it’s not gonna help him. I mean, I can see that it, it’s only confusing him. Listen to me, Jerry. I’m a nurse and I’m his wife, and I know best. You can’t walk away from this besides what would happen to your career if this came out.

Okay, but what if I do? If he starts asking me about his life or fine, oh my God, you’re an actor. Just improvise. Improvise. Yeah. Right, right, right. Just make some stuff up, like talk to him. Your, your guys. Do guy talk sports or something? I don’t know.

Hello? This king? Yes, this is she. This is Agent Eli Gran the fbi. I’m investigating the disappearance of Abe Carver. I need you to come down to the police station right away. Oh, I, I can’t, my cat is sick and I can’t leave him. Okay, then I’ll, I’ll come to you. No, no, no, no. That’s not necessary. I’ll just have a neighbor come over.

Mm-hmm. I’ll see you soon.

Look, um, I, I need you to go in there and, and, and just be with him. I, I got some place I gotta go. Hey, look, you’ve spent an hour and I, I won’t take that long. Um, I’ll give you an extra hundred. Look, I, I, I, I need you to stay with him and I gotta go, alright? Okay. Okay. See and cash. Remember, I,

I’m back pops. What were you talking about out there? Where’s, where’s, where’s Paulina? What’s going on here?

Hey. Hey. Hello. Hey. Oh, how’s Shawn? Uh, he’s not doing great. He’s still reeling after everything that happened in Greece. Oh, well that’s understandable. Yeah. On top of that, he’s feeling pretty guilty about not being able to help find Abe. Oh, you know what? Tell him not to worry. Eli’s here. We got it covered, but, uh, is there anything I can do for you?

Uh, actually I’m here to see Jada. I have news about Talia’s case. I will file my recommendation with the court community service, and, uh, probation and continuing to see Dr. Evans.

Thank you so much. I never expected this to happen. If there’s anything I can do, You can keep going to therapy and work on your self-worth. Get to a place where you can feel that you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect so that what happened with you and Colin Bedford will not happen again.

So we were talking about Talia before Theo showed up. Are you thinking of forgiving her hearing Talia talk about Colin. It wasn’t just the things he said or did, it was more about the way he manipulated her. He played on her insecurities, took advantage of the way she felt about him to get her to do things that she didn’t really wanna do.

Emotional abuse, like what Ray did to me, Colin’s father did to me. Yeah, all too similar. So you think Charlie was a victim in all this? She loved Colin and she was afraid that she’d lose him if she didn’t do what he. Told her to do. And as, as much as I hate what she put you through, put us all through, she’s in pain, real pain, and it’s going to take her a long time to get over it.

What, you didn’t answer me, what did you have to talk to her about? Uh, okay. Okay. Uh, Paulina got a call. She, uh, had to run an errand. You still didn’t answer my question. What did you and Paulina have to talk about alone? Um, uh, you want the truth? Um, I asked her if my showing up here. Upset. You see? I mean, I mean, yeah.

It, it, it’s, it’s weird. I don’t know how to talk to you when you don’t, when when? I don’t remember you. Yeah. I’m sorry. It, it is weird. I’m sorry. Hey, it’s, it’s not your fault, so I guess we just gotta try to get to know each other again. It’s okay if I sit. Yeah, of course. Of course. Please do.

So, uh, how about those white socks?

Oh, excuse me, aren’t you Abe Carver son? Theo? Yeah, I am. Do I know you? No, no. I, I was one of your father’s nurses. I, I was there, uh, the day your stepmother was trying to jog his memory. Oh, he’s such a wonderful man. What a terrible thing to happen to him. Yeah, I was. Yeah. So why are you here? Oh, uh, uh, I received a call, uh, from the fbi, uh, agent grant to come down.

Yeah. Um, I’m actually here to see him too. Really? Oh, but you weren’t even here when your father went missing? No, not as a witness. Eli is my sister’s husband and my dad’s son-in-law, my friend. I’m here to help him and we’re not gonna stop until we find my dad.

You seem a little nervous. Yeah. You know, I just don’t know why they called me down here. I mean, I told the police everything I know. So. Ms. King? Yes, that’s right. Yoo. I need to speak to Ms. King. Yeah, that’s okay. I’ll wait this way. Nice to be.

Thank you Ms. King for coming in. You gotta have a seat right here. Okay.

Thank you. You’re welcome. I’ll be with you in just a second.

You know, as, as I was telling, uh, Abe carver’s son outside, I’ve, I’ve already told the police everything.

Now you can tell me everything, you know. I was going over your statement about the day Abe Carver went missing. You were on duty, right? Well, uh, yes. Yes, I was. Uh, but as I told the police, I, I didn’t see anything. Well, you, you couldn’t have, did you, excuse me, because you left work early hours before the end of your shift, and I’d like to know why

you, okay.

Just a little bit overwhelmed. I still can’t believe I’m not going to prison. Seriously. Thank you so much Ms. Brady. No. Well, not always, but sometimes the prosecution and the defense work together to get it right. Um, I just went to the station to tell your sister the good news, but she’d already gone home.

Well, should I call her? I, I think Rafe was going over there to tell her

Jayna open up. I got some good news

after all the terrible things that Colin Bedford did. He still denies taking Abe out of the hospital. Yeah. And the police say they’re sure that he didn’t do it, but we both know that Eli won’t give up until he finds Abe and he makes sure that whoever did take him pays. Um, I, I was sick that day, so I went home early.

Like your cat? Huh? What? When we spoke on the phone, you said that your cat was sick. Oh, right. That’s right. He has ringworm. Aw. What was wrong with you that day? The day that Abe car went missing? I, uh, well, I was feeling like I was getting the flu. I had a slight fever. Uh, and you know, I can’t be around patients.

I. Like that. So, you know, you didn’t mention that in your statement. Oh, well, I, I didn’t think it was important. No, it’s not for you to decide what’s important and what’s not, which is why you’re gonna tell me everything that happened on that day. And this time you’re not gonna leave anything out.

I’m sorry. I’ll be right back.

Kitchen grant.

Eli is my sister’s husband and my dad’s son-in-law, my friend. I’m here to help him and we’re not gonna stop until we find my dad.

God, help me. I don’t have a choice. A carver has to die.

White socks. I, I, I think I’m a cuts fan. No, I’m sorry. I forgot. No, no, no. I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I, I know this is hard on you. I.

Oh, I’m sorry. I just, all of a sudden I just got a, I just got a headache. I think I, I think I need to rest. Okay. Can I give you a hand? Yeah, I think, uh, I think I’m gonna need it.

You don’t seem very steady. Do you have like a cane or anything to help you out?

So what, what do you mean? I mean, this is a, this is a new suit. Is is my tie too wide? Your clothes are fine dad. The problem is that ugly ass hospital can viewers. Oh yeah. Well, Paulina doesn’t like it either, but what do you want me to do? I’m still unsteady. I mean, the last thing I wanna do is wipe out walking down the aisle of my own wedding.

Well, it’s a good thing your best man’s got you covered. Beer bad.

Something wrong, Paulina.

You know, he practically begged Chloe to go back and work for him, but she told him that she’d rather to keep working for me at the Spectator.

Meant the world to me. So you are living together and working together? Yeah, that’s right. And that’s the way we like, you know, Maggie tried to get me to go back and work at Titan and I said, no dies. Well, no, I’m curious. I wonder if she’s gonna get to take Alex’s place.

I’m flattered, uh, about the offer, Maggie, but I already have a job at S J P R working for me. Chad is my most valuable employee, and Titan is one of s j’s most lucrative clients. So you do would still be working together? One of Chad’s responsibilities would be acting as liaison to S J P R like Alex did when he had the job.

And uh, as far as the Commute, Titan’s headquarters is right down the street. Right. Um, I actually just, uh, told Doug and Julie that the kids and I are gonna be moving out. Really? Oh, well, where are you moving? Well, we don’t know yet. We, yeah, we, Chad and I are moving in together. Hmm.

I would not underestimate Maggie if I were you. Alex, she’s been my sponsor for years, and I’ll tell you what, she is as tough as she has to be. Well, she’s definitely no pushover, but she sure as hell has no idea how to run a business. Oh, hey Alex. I, uh, I’m glad you’re here. I actually have your employment contract here saved me from sending you a pdf.

If you could just, uh, read it, sign it, send it back to me, that’d be great. I will do that right now. Okay. And I have another matter to discuss with you. Uh, uh uh, this looks good to me. Uh, that was pretty. There you go. Pretty set pretty fast. Did you read all of the fine print? Yeah. I’m a speed reader, not to mention I trust you guys.

Got leaving Titan behind me, going to work for my cousin who would never screw me over. It’s the smartest move I’ve made in a long time. Where you going? Well, it seems like you two needed to talk.

There you go. So what is this other matter? Is it a tamira business? Uh, one Damira in particular, Kristen.

Well, congratulations on taking that big step. I hope you find the perfect place to start your life together. Thank you Maggie. It’s gonna be so wonderful for Thomas and Charlotte. I know they’re quite crazy about you, Stephanie. Ah, I think it was both ways. I love them very much and they’re very lucky to have a wonderful father and now to have a wonderful you and their lives.

I’m the lucky one. Well, look, I really should get going. Um, just one thing, Stephanie, I hope you will support Chad if he decides to accept my offer. Yes, I will. Yeah. I can’t say I’m not interested. I, I, I just need some time to think about it. I understand. But don’t take too long. Uh, I am, I am just ready to go with my plans for Titan and fill in that position is crucial.

Care to tell me what your plans are. Okay. Um, EJ and the others, they’re so sure. I don’t know what I’m doing. I. So I am gonna take advantage of that. So Demer Enterprises is gonna get a run for its money. Congratulations you two again, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Whoa. I, uh, I haven’t seen that side of Maggie before. Yeah, me neither. What are you thinking? I, I don’t know. I mean, her offering me the number two PO position. I mean, I didn’t see that coming. I assume that this is about, My daughter. Yes it is. So you had asked me to make sure that the family court ruling giving you custody of Rachel was ironclad.

Yes. So I went over the ruling in detail and there is absolutely no wiggle room for Kristen. You are legally the sole custodial parent. But let me guess. Kristen wants to dispute the ruling. Oh, had to guess. Oh, just had a no-brainer there. Have you heard from her legal team at all? I have not, which I think is really strange.

And I’m guessing you haven’t either. Nobel not a word. Well, that begs the question then. Where is Kristen Demira and what the hell is she up to?

Xander and Chloe. How can that be? She hates him. Not anymore. She’s living with the dude.

Wow. Okay. Um, I guess he really has moved on only because he doesn’t think he has a snowballs chance in hell in getting back with you. Now, if he knew you were carrying his child, I bet he’d dropped Chloe Lane like a hot rock. So maybe you should reconsider and tell him about the baby.

I have no idea who Maggie will hire to replace. I’m not art of her inner circle. All right, well, I’m pretty sure that inner circle is just big enough for two, her and Uncle Victor. Hmm, probably. Well, if you excuse me, I have a sick wife who’s at home and she’s in desperate need some chicken soup. I’m concerned that Bonnie might be suffering from a little bit more than a head cold.

Wow. Why do you say that? It’s just that the last time I saw him, she’s acting, seem really nervous. I, I dunno it as if she knew something that she didn’t want me to find out.

You’ve been kind of quiet since Maggie blew outta here. What can I say? She’s a tough act to follow. Well, I’d like to know, uh, I’d like to know how you feel about the job offer. Well, I think you have to consider taking it. I mean, it’s a, it’s a very important position, but,

well, he’d be taking Alex’s job, a job that he loved.

Hey, what up, sunny Boy? How’s the hubby and my niece? Good, good. Now the new gig is going great. I actually just signed a contract today. No, I don’t have any problem working for the Demaris. And hey, I tried to stay a Titan, but Uncle Vick’s power mad wife had other ideas. I, I know Maggie tried to get me my job back, but I also know that it would just be a matter of time before she had some other reason to fire me again.

And who the hell needs that?

Okay. Just know that Maggie and I have parted company and I couldn’t be happier.

Well, you’re right. Radio silence has never been Kristen’s style. Mm-hmm. Look at how she reacted when I tried giving her limited visitation rights to sued for full custody. I think she’s just trying to make a sweat. I don’t know. You know her better than I do. Well, I, I mean, she’s capable of anything. She could be doing anything.

I, but at least she’s not gonna go after Chloe this time. How do you know that? You just said she’s capable of anything. No. Be the only reason Chloe was a target before was because Kristen thought Chloe would end up raising Rachel. All right. And that’s, that’s obviously off the table now. Why are you. You haven’t heard, Chloe is living with Xander now.

What is she out of her mind? I don’t know what Bonnie could possibly be hiding from you, Xander. I really don’t. I’m sure she was just. Being Bonnie, you know her now. If you excuse me, I really need to place my order. Sure. Its great seeing you, Justin. Take care. Good seeing you. You too. I seeing you too.

Is it just me or does it see my Justin knows whatever it is that Bonnie knows. I don’t know, but he does seem uncomfortable. But baby, he’s just anxious to get home to his sick wife. No. All right. Yeah, maybe that’s it. So Sarah, what do you say? Would it be so bad to tell Xander he’s gonna be a daddy? I don’t want him back in my life bar.

So you and Justin are just gonna have to keep it to yourself. So you hear me? Yeah. Yeah, I hear you. Our lips are sealed, so, oh, listen, I gotta get off the phone. I’m gonna have another coughing fit. Goodbye. And good luck to you. Bye Bonnie.

So Bonnie told Justin everything I. Pretty much. And Xander is dating Chloe now.

You okay? Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be? I mean, Zander and I are divorced and that’s her what I said to Bonnie. I want that creep outta my life. So, He can date whoever he wants. Dear it,

so can I.

I can’t believe Chloe is seeing Xander Cook. You’re not joking with me. No. No. You think I would joke about something like that? I mean, she just hasn’t said anything to me about this. Yeah, cuz she knew that you would go through the roof when you heard that. Yeah. Damn. Straight. I would. Xander shot mom and you and he made Sarah and Eric believe that Rachel was there, baby.

And that your baby with Kristen had died. Yes. And then he went, all I know understand blew up Eric and Nicole’s wedding. I know Bell. I didn’t he leave Chloe and Mexico with some drug lawyer Bell? He did. He did all that stuff and I’m aware of it. I mean, wow. Kristen just must have pushed Chloe way too far.

Yeah. Chloe must just see something in Xander that. We don’t.

Thank you. Well, I could certainly use another weed drown. How about you? Ah, yeah. A glass of wine sounds really nice. Wine, eh? That sounds even better. Well, you just relax and I’ll turn bar. How about that? Yeah, thank you. I just hand you this. Oh, thanks. You know, I still can’t go over how sketchy Justin was acting tonight.

Yeah, I know you didn’t stop talking about it the entire way home. Sorry. Should I take that to mean that you are sick of me banging on about my family and they’re strange behaviors? No, I like you talking about your family. It lets me get to know the real you and that’s something you want to know the real me?

Yeah, it is.

Can I ask you a question? Are you sure that you want sleep alone tonight?

No. Oh, Sarah, no. No, no, no. Wait, what’s the problem? It’s not like this hasn’t happened before. I know, but. This is different.

It’s me. Okay. Wow. You’re afraid to see me without any clothes on. What? Are you kidding me? Hey, you were the most beautiful pregnant lady that ever was. Well then, what’s the problem? I saw your face when you found out about Xander and Chloe. I don’t care about that. I was, I was just surprised. I thought that Chloe had better taste as all that.

Hey, come on, it’s me. You were nuts about the guy. And look, I haven’t exactly made it a secret that I want another chance with you. Why are you pushing me away? I want a real chance, not some. Rebound sex, and that’s what that would be.

You know that don’t you?

Looks like I got here just in time. Oh honey. You go and you brought me my chicken noodle, so of course guaranteed to make you feel better. Here you go. Thank you, honey. Oh, this is gonna fix me right up. I can tell. Mm. I ran into Chloe and Xander at the pub. Oh, please. Oh, please tell me you didn’t spill it about Sarah and the baby.

Only because I gave you my word. Oh, thank God. I just got off the phone with Sarah and she’s so mad at me for telling you. She made me swear that we would not tell Xander about the baby. Like I said, I do not feel good about this. Xander is far from a perfect human being, but he did love Sarah. Oh my God, it’s his baby that she’s carrying.

Believe me, I hear you. And I tried. I tried to convince Sarah to come clean with him. I tried a lot, but she won’t budge you and I have no choice but to do as she says. Oh, I wish I didn’t know about this. I know what you mean. I just hope Sarah’s secret doesn’t blow up in our faces.

You were in the kitchen for quite a while. Yeah, I was, uh, I was loading the dishwasher.

I know you’re upset with me.

Um, I just, uh, I just don’t understand why Alex’s, uh, feelings should factor into whether or not I take the job. It’s just. He tried really hard to make it work with Maggie, and she fired him without even giving him a chance. And, but how was that my problem? Or yours? I mean, he, he’s a, he’s a big boy. He can handle himself.

Uh, you, you don’t always have to worry about him. I don’t always worry about him. Okay. I just meant that, you know, he landed on his feet. He got a good job at Basic Black. I don’t understand what the problem is. I hate the optics. Chad, first you take Alex’s girl. Next you might end up with his job. No, no, no.

I didn’t. I didn’t. I didn’t take his girl. You’re your own woman, and unless I’m mistaken, you made your own decision about who you wanted to be with. True.

It’s just I’m, I don’t know. I still feel weird about this offer, and it’s not only because of Alex. Okay, then what else? It’s Maggie. It’s like she’s completely changed since Victor made her the c e o. How so? She fired Alex because he lost that Kassoff deal, but it wasn’t his fault. Kassoff had second thoughts.

It happens. Who’s to say that she won’t do the same thing to you?

I would hate to see her kick you out on that fine ass of yours.

Well then I guess, uh, I guess it’s fine. I asked is just gonna have to be better at staying on her good side than he was. Right. Well, I don’t have to make a decision right now. It’s not what Maggie said. Well, Maggie, uh, Maggie’s gonna have to wait. That’s all. And, and honestly, right now, I’d rather. I’d rather not be, uh, talking about Maggie or, um, or work at all for that matter.

I’d rather be looking at possible dream houses for you, me and the kids, he’s okay. Yeah, yeah. Well, sounds good and lucky for real good PR lady never leaves her house with our laptop.

Oh, hello, Alex. Hi, Maggie. I thought you should know that I found someone to take your spot at Titan. Mm, really? Really? I didn’t want you to read about it in a spectator. How decent of decent w. You know what, Alex, you’d get along a whole lot better in this world if you didn’t have that chip on your shoulder.

No, you fired me. All right, so I don’t need all the self-help bull. Mm mm Nope. Nope. Not doing that. Aren’t you gonna ask me who I found? Well, congratulations on finding your ideal number two. Hopefully now we can both move on with our lives. It’s Chad.

Good for him. I thought he was working for Stephanie. Oh, he is. He is. But uh, he’s gonna take some time to think about my offer, but I think he’ll accept it. He and Stephanie will see enough of each other now that they have decided to move in together. I’ll see you back at the house,

not if I don’t see you first.

Wow. Xander and Chloe are living together. I just, oh, I’m so sorry, Brady. I know how much you love Chloe.

Yeah, well there’s not much I can do about it, so it’s pretty much over. I don’t wanna dwell on it. Okay. Okay, I get that. I understand. Dwell on you. Let’s dwell on you, sis. Tell me how you’re doing not great. Sean. Is he still drinking? Well, yeah, I mean, he’s either staring off into space or sleeping one off.

I can’t tell he he needs help. Yeah, I know, but he doesn’t see it that way. Especially after Victor laid into him. Yeah. I love my granddad, but I’ll tell you what he can, he can really make a bad situation worse sometimes. Mm-hmm. Do you want me to talk to Sean? You know, I’ve been where he is. I know. Thank you for offering and I might take you up on that.

Okay. Not now though. Well, right now I’m trying to get him to make an appointment with mom. He just says he’s not ready. You know, he’s just swimming in guilt and, and he jinks his dad’s in a coma because of him. But the fact that he was saving his mother’s life when he shot Bo, that doesn’t even register.

Yeah. I’m so sorry about that. Ugh. All right, I gotta go. Okay. Um, let me know if you hear consistent. I will. And, um, listen, Brady, what I know. That you think things are over between you and Chloe. All right. But I really think that you should try and hang on. She is gonna see Xander for who he really is, cuz everybody does.

Okay. Bye. Okay, thank you.

Came on too strong, didn’t I? No, I, I just. I thought I was ready to move on with my life, but I don’t think that’s possible. Not quite yet anyway. Right. You have a new place, new job, but you’re still not over. Brady.

Trust me. I want to be over him, but I’m just not yet. And. Sandra, I don’t, I don’t wanna lead you on. No, I understand. I mean, if I’m being dead honest with myself, I am still missing Sarah. Aren’t we a fine, fair?

So what do we do in the meantime? Keep getting to know each other. Take our time. I like the sound of that. Maybe there’s something on telly. Ah, okay. Just no love stories. No, definitely not. How about an action adventure with a creepy villain who gets what’s coming to him in the end? That kinda hits a little close to home for me, so, okay.

Fair enough. Um, the Marx Brothers, perfect.

You are right. I was using you to forget my problems and I am. I am so sorry cuz that’s the last thing I wanna do. Can I point out though that most guys, including me, wouldn’t mind being used in that particular way, but with you, I, I want it to mean something. It’s okay.

Do you know how much I wish I was over Xander? You know how much I wish that too.

I hate that what he does with his life still gets to me. I know. But look, all you know is that Xander and Chloe are just living together. Doesn’t mean they’re sleeping with one another. And who cares what Bonnie thinks? I mean, her word is not exactly gospel. Sandra isn’t the kind of guy that lives with somebody that he isn’t sleeping with.

He.

All right, I’m gonna go because we are both on duty early tomorrow.

Good night. Good night. Hey, um, the second you get over Xander, you know where to find me.

Here, lemme get you some more. Mm-hmm. I felt better already.

And notice tonight that Xander and Chloe seemed happy together. Yeah. Huh. Maybe she’ll be a good influence on him. Like you were for me. I wonder if Brady knows about them. Poor guy.

Words.

You wishing you.

Chloe, have I told you recently how much I adore?

See your lascivious. That’s even better than

and also,

Words can’t describe this

feeling inside. Every time

you.

I,

I.

One day,

one moment will change my life.

I.

See how things.

Open your eyes.

I.

Open.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hi. Hi. How’s uh, how’s Doug feeling? Well, I’m getting him some chicken soup. And he insisted it was fine for him to come downstairs and eat the soup in front of the big tv and I insisted, no, he’s still recovering from the flu and he should stay put and have the soup upstairs in bed. Uhhuh, I can guess who won that argument.

It wasn’t easy. Oh, thank you so much for spending time with him earlier. There’s nothing he loves more than a good game of gin rummy. Yeah, we, I mean, like I told him, there’s, there’s nobody I would rather spend time with. No, I’m grateful he took his mind off Abraham for a little while. Oh. And he lifted my spirits as he always does.

I’m so glad. So, um, what are your plans this evening, darling? I noticed you set out the good silver and the good napkins. Well, um, if it’s, uh, if it’s okay, I was, uh, hoping to have Stephanie over for dinner. There’s our baby girl. Hi. The, uh, the Juneteenth celebration was just incredible food, music. Oh. If only the hospital hadn’t had that emergency, I would’ve loved to have gone.

You were missed both of you. Yeah. Well, John and I didn’t wanna let up on the search for Abe. Abe was supposed to give the keynote speech and Theo stepped in for him. He did such a great job. I bet he did. This whole thing is so horrible. I mean, who on earth would wanna kidnap Abe baby? That’s what we’re all trying to figure out.

What is it? Who, what is it? Um, it’s Alex. Oh, is everything okay? Yeah. Fine. He just, um, was sharing some good news. Yes. We just did that. We just did that and I just sent the signed contract off to legal. Which means we are officially in business Basic Black with Yuri Casas. No. Good job man. Good job. Hey, it’s all you man.

Drinks on me. Ah, drinks yeah, drinks on me. No bueno, Alex. Ah, right. Yeah, I’m sorry about that. That’s my bad. Well, how about we, um, I don’t know, split a play of nachos wings. Hey, whatever the hell you want. I just know I’m in way too good of a mood to go home right now, and it’s not like anybody’s waiting on us.

Right. Yeah, definitely not. Oh, I’m so tired. Oh, yesterday I had that great ad buy from Saxtons and then today at least a dozen of our vendors are asking us to cut their rate by 20%. Well don’t worry, I managed to hold them off at least until our numbers for next quarter come hopefully Gwen’s exclusive with dirt bag on Lo snow Drive our numbers up.

Ah, I hope so. Me too. I mean, I just had to. Promise our two top reporters are raised so they wouldn’t jump ship. I bet you’re regretting not taking that job at Titan. Rightly, and even the worst day of the Spectator is still a day I get to spend with you. Yeah, and there it is. The patented Sander Cook charm, which has convinced me to ignore all the reasons why pursuing a relationship with you is a horrible idea.

And yet here I am. What can I say? It’s a blessing and a curse. Okay, back to work for one second. Are you sure that Maggie’s not truly upset that you turned her down? I mean, yeah, she was disappointed, obviously, but she knows I have to fall in my heart. Are you sure about that? About Maggie? Yeah, I know. It’s just when I went over there to talk to her, I had the strangest encounter with Bonnie.

Oh,

I thought you could use a fresh supply. Thank you, honey. Go. That is some cold you have. It seemed to have come outta nowhere. No, I told you it’s God’s way of punishing me for lying. No, no. That’s not how it works. And you know that besides, all you did was pretend you were sick. That’s not all I did. I told like a zillion lies.

God, Justin. It just kept on yapping and yapping and digging myself in deeper. I really didn’t mean to. I mean, it just sand her short off and I panicked. You’re caught off guard. You weren’t expecting to see him. No. Please don’t use that word expecting it. Just reminds me of the secret Sarah’s wanting me to keep, but honey, it just makes me panicky.

Okay, sweetheart. Xander’s not here. Yeah, but he could come back and I could mess up everything. I could crack under this pressure and tell him Sarah’s pregnant with his kid.

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

Is it okay for you to invite Stephanie here to dinner? More than Okay. You know, I like her so much. Oh, well, you know, she feels the, the same way about you, you know, you and Doug. It, um, our talk yesterday in the cemetery, it, it really did help. You’re right. Guilt is corrosive. And, and Abby wouldn’t want me to shut myself off to the world.

She would, she would want me to live my life. Yeah. She would darling. And

thank you. Just you, you know, for your wisdom and for everything you’ve done for, for me and the kids and helping out. And I, I just, I, I, I really don’t know what I would do without you guys. Well, Doug and I feel the same way about you having, having you here with your children. It’s a comfort. It’s been wonderful.

We love you. We love you kids too.

Hello Doug. Let me in. Hi, is he in the Dan in front of the big tv. Yeah, I think so. Uhhuh, well, a few darlings will, excuse me. I will just get ahold of my naughty husband and put him back into bed. Enjoy your dinner. I hope I’m not too late. No, no, you’re right on time.

So neither of us are having much luck with the ladies at the moment, but at least things are going damn well between you and I. That’s a big comfort. I’m serious man. We may be family, but after all the fighting, Sonny and I did a Titan. There is no guarantee this was gonna work out. I know it’s still early and we just landed Yuri freaking Kana about the gate.

Are you kidding me? I think this is the beginning of a very long, successful partnership, Alex. It could be. Or in a couple months we end up trying to kill each other. Who knows? Dude, the pessimism. My God. You’re right. You’re, listen. I’m so, don’t take it personally. Okay. Just lay lately, being hopeful about anything hasn’t worked out for me.

I’m just constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop.

We need to talk now.

You had a strange encounter with Bonnie. Isn’t every encounter with that woman strange? Now this was stranger than usual. How so? Well, she was nervous, like super jumpy, scared. Really? When I walked in, she screamed at me to stay back and then ran behind the couch. Well, maybe she has a little bit of PTs. D From that time you held her prisoner in the garden.

She, yeah, I mean, obviously that’s what I thought too, but no, Bonnie assured me that she’s forgiven me for all that. Then why would she tell you to stay away? Well, her excuse was that she had some terrible cold and she didn’t want me to catch it.

So after you left to go meet with your client, I gave myself this pep talk, you know, I said, body girl, you got this. You just gotta steer clear as Xander. And I turned around. Boom. There he was. You must have been surprised. Surprised. No, I was terrified. God. It was like being in a horror film where you’re peeking around the corner looking for the killer and you turn around and he is been behind you the whole time.

God, I was so shocked to see Zander there. I, I just, I couldn’t think straight. I, I just, the more kept trying not to tell him what I knew. The more it got closer to blurting it out, it was like I was a pressure cooker ready to blow, you know? I’m just so glad I have a release valve. What’s that? Oh honey, you, if I wasn’t able to tell someone I’d be climbing the damn walls, I am just so grateful.

You don’t have a problem keeping Sarah Secret. You know, actually Bonnie, I do.

So Bonnie may have reacted a little over the top, but maybe she was trying to be considerate and try not to get you sick. Yeah. But that wasn’t really even the weird part. It wasn’t, no, no. As I was leaving, I found out that Nicole was pregnant. I got a news alert on my phone and when I read it, I went, oh wow, she’s pregnant.

And Bonnie replied with, she told you she’s pregnant. Why would Bonnie think that Nicole would tell you personally that she’s pregnant? Right? I mean, everyone knows Nicole and I aren’t exactly pal’s, honestly, I, I got the impression that Bonnie thought I was talking about someone else.

You have a problem keeping Sarah’s secret. Why didn’t you tell me this before? Well, you didn’t gimme a chance. You just handed me a dollar. So we’d have attorney client privilege. No, wait. Hang on, hang on. I filled you in and told you we had to keep this between us, and then Maggie interrupted us. But after she left, you didn’t say a word.

You kissed me and went off to your meeting. And in fact, we talked on the phone later and you seemed like everything was fine. I know, but I’ve had some time to think. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Justin, please, please. You gotta stick with me on this. Just like you stick with your clients, you keep their confidences, and I bet they have secrets way worse than this.

Well, that may be, but those secrets don’t involve my cousin. Are we feeling bad for Xander? Are we forgetting what he did to me? No, I’m still very upset with him, but that doesn’t mean that I’m okay with keeping life-changing information from him. Justin, I made a promise to Sarah. I know you did, but I didn’t and I just don’t feel comfortable knowing that Sarah’s pregnant with Sander’s baby and he doesn’t know

you ordered pizza. I did. Garlic and jalapeno from me. Mushroom for you, baby. I thought we were having leftovers. No, no, no. I decided we can’t have leftovers today because we’re celebrating. Celebrating what? Having the house.

Thanks for inviting me to dinner. What? You don’t have to thank me then allow me to express my gratitude on behalf of my parents between us. I think they’re very glad to have some alone time. What, no, you lived in Seattle for years. I’m sure they’re thrilled to have you at home. Oh, living in Salem is one thing that living under the same roof is something else.

Is there tension? No, not at all. But they’ve hardly had a chance to reconnect since we got back from Greece. You know, after all those months of thinking my mom was dead, the way they look at each other, I’m starting to feel like a third wheel. Wow. Yeah. Tmmi. Oh, no. Yeah, a little, sorry. I’m just, I’m starting to think that maybe it’s time for me to look for my own place.

You know what’s funny is I, I was thinking the exact same thing on Maggie. Hey, is everything okay? I don’t know. You tell me. Did you just make a deal with Yuri Koff? Yeah. Yeah, we did. We’re actually launching a brand new digital fashion line on his app. What about it? Well, up until a few weeks ago, he was ready to make a deal featuring exclusive Titan content.

On that very same app.

Well, you should know, Alex. You blew the whole thing. Did you do this on purpose? Excuse me? Well, I was in Greece with Victor and I let you take that meeting with Fury. Your one job was to get him to sign that contract. And somehow he didn’t. And ever since, I’ve been wondering how you managed to botch such a simple task, and now I know you did it on purpose.

What are you talking about, auntie? Why would I do that? You had Brady’s job offering your back pocket, so tanking that deal. What was your way of giving the middle finger to tighten on your way out the door? Maggie? Maggie, I, I did not. Bring Alex on until after you fired him. And besides that, is that really who you think I am?

That I am just some snake that would intentionally hurt my own family? Well, you had to know that working for the competition, basic black would hurt us. I needed a job. I offered to hire you back. You turned me down and you joined the competition. Why? Because you were angry at Victor. He passed you over.

You were resentful of me for being my number two. So your parting shot at us was intentionally screwing up that deal. Did it ever occur to you that maybe I’m not the reason why Yuri walked away. If I was auntie, why would he still wanna work with me? Hmm. I’ll tell you why. It’s because when he finally looked into Titan, he realized there was a dinosaur.

Now this guy’s moving at the speed of light. Meanwhile, you’re telling him to be patient and prudent. He doesn’t want any part of that. This guy wants to slay right now. Is that so? That is, damn. So. And he can’t slay Jack with a relic like Titan Auntie for the past. We are the future. So with that being said, the.

The question you should be asking is not whether or not I tanked the deal between Yuri and Titan more so how could you ever have thought that Yuri would actually wanna make a deal with a loser like Titan to begin with?

How dare you insult me like that. Uh, I was talking about Titan. Titan isn’t a loser. Our profits are up. Our shareholders couldn’t be happier. Hmm. Now, auntie, what is the average age of those shareholders? Oh, no, no, no, no. Don’t you go there. I’m just being honest with you. Yuri doesn’t wanna deal with gray suits and gray hair.

He wants energy. Oh yeah. Like all that energy you put into tagging the deal. Auntie Mag, you can blame me all you want for Yuri deciding not to work with Titan, but he did that all on his own. You are not the right person to bring his vision to life. And he told you that? Oh yes, that’s right. After that meeting where you sabotaged me.

Oh, yes, yes. Up until that point, he was thrilled to be signing with Titan because he didn’t do his homework. When he did, he realized that your company was all wrong for him, and that is the truth. That is a fact, and I’m sorry if you can’t accept that. What I can’t accept is you being an insufferable.

Disloyal swine who sold a company and a client from us, Maggie? I don’t think that’s what Alex was doing. You fired me. Maggie. Do you think that I have any type of obligation to your company? No. And what about your obligation to Victor? What do you think you’d think of what you did? I think he’d admire the initiative.

Oh, so now you are admitting that you did the tanking on purpose? I’m admitting that I saw an opportunity and I took it, and I think Uncle Vic of all people would never have a problem with that. And what about you, Brady? Do you have a problem with it? Did knowing that Yuri had a deal in the works with Titan?

Give you pause. Actually, this is the first time I’m hearing about this. That being said, Maggie? Um, I agree with Alex. I don’t think Victor would be upset with him or me.

He would be upset that you both have treated me so disrespectfully. No, no, no, no, no, no. Victor would be the first one to say business is business. Maggie. We are rivals in business. Yeah. And maybe if you two aren’t always so busy firing us, Karakas, we wouldn’t work for the competition.

Who did Bonnie think was pregnant? Well, she claimed that she was talking about Nicole too, and then she had a massive coughing fit and the conversation was basically over until I mentioned you. What about me? Well, I said that we were involved and she got super interested, started asking all these questions and basically freaked out.

What do you mean? Well, she demanded that I end things and you know, said I was making a huge mistake. Oh God. That goes all the way back to high school. In high school. Yeah. In high school. I had this rivalry with her daughter Mimi, which I’m the one who should be holding a grudge about, by the way. But, um, because of her daughter, Bonnie’s never been a great fan of mine.

Yeah. But her reaction was really extreme, even taking that into account. Yeah. But she’s silly. She probably thought she was protecting you or something. Trust me, this has everything to do with Mimi. I don’t know. I think maybe it has more to do with Sarah.

Justin. I know Xander is your cousin, but come on. Not just that, it’s that I was in the very same position that Xander’s in now, and Angelica, when she was pregnant with Alex, she kept that from me and that was wrong. Look, I’m sorry she did that to you, but Angelica was creating nutcase. Sarah’s not Justin.

She has legit reasons for not wanting XR to know. I understand that. But secrets have a way of coming out, especially ones about babies and Sarah of all people should be sensitive to that. I hear you. Believe me. I hear you. But at the end of the day, Justin, this is not my secret to tell. And I only know that Sarah’s pregnant because I ran into her in Chicago and she made me swear.

Swear not to tell anyone, please, Justin. Are you gonna tell Sandra,

I know you gave Sarah your word, but I didn’t. Oh, you’re my wife and I love you, so I will not tell, but I don’t feel good about this. Yum. Mm-hmm. You good? Mm. Even better than I remember it. Although it’s not hard to recall the last time that we had pizza from Brunos. Yeah, the day in the hospital when I almost died the first time.

Crazy. Why that day was a nightmare. Yeah. It seemed like it was never gonna end. Yeah, going from helpless and hopeless to relieved and elated and completely destroyed, those were hands down the worst days of my life. Mine too, and I thank God every day that you came back to me. I can’t believe how lucky I am.

I think it’s more than luck. You worked so hard to find me. Yeah. Who would’ve thought we’d be reunited in the wine cellar of Victor car’s child at home? By boat of all people.

John and I started out trying to find Megan Hathaway on that creek island. No idea you were even alive A few days later. You were in my arms. I think it shows the power of our love no matter what separates us or what odds we’re against, somehow we always find our way back to each other. Yes, we do baby always.

So you’re thinking about moving out too? Are you surprised? No. It’s just, I I thought you liked living here. Yeah, no, I, I, I do. And yeah, I’m, I’m beyond grateful for Doug and Julie, but I mean, there’s, there’s no way I could have gone back to the Mansion after, and, and, you know, the kids and I, we would’ve had love and support.

But I, I, I just, you know, I didn’t wanna be surrounded by all those memories and here, you know, we get so much love and support, but No, I, I totally understand. Yeah. And, you know, besides we, uh, we have a living babysitter, so that’s, that’s very helpful. No, I’m sure Doug and Jill have loved having Charlotte and Thomas here.

Yeah, for sure. But you know, they can be a handful. And, um, and I’m sure that’s, that’s wearing on them. Um, and they would never say anything. So I think it’s, uh, you know, I think it’s, it’s time for me to, uh, initiate and, and probably find a, a place, a fresh start for me and the kids. Yeah. No, I, I think that makes total sense for you to look for your own place.

Yeah. You know, or, um, or we could, we could find a place together.

Did you just ask me to move in with you? Um, yeah, I mean,

uh, that’s not such a crazy idea, is it? Uh, and we, we, we, we both wanna find a new place and, um, and mean we spend most nights together anyway. I know. But the, we work together and if we also live together, yeah. But I, I, I want to go to bed with you every night and wake up next to you every morning, and that sounds wonderful.

What about the kids? The kids are crazy about you. The feeling is mutual. Obviously. This is a really big step. I just, I, I worry that they would think that I’m trying to replace their mother. No, look,

how about this? Um, I’ll talk to the kid’s therapist and, and if, um, if she thinks that, That it’s something that they’re ready for, then I’ll, I’ll find a way to talk to the kids about it. Sounds good. Everybody and the kids would be psyched. What do you mean? They could have a dance party with you whenever they want.

It’d be amazing. No, I, you know, I always love a dance party. Yeah.

Okay. So then if the, if their therapist says, Says yes, and then the kids are happy about it, then, then, then maybe you would be too. I, I would be very happy about it. Is that a yes? Yes. Yes, Chad? Yeah. I would love to move in with you.

If you don’t slow down, you’re gonna eat that whole pizza. All right. I’m gonna eat this whole pizza. It’s impossible to stop. Impossible. Mm-hmm. Don’t believe me. Try a slice. Oh, jalapeno and uh, garlic. No thank you. No, no. Listen, baby. I’m telling you it’s the perfect combination. No, it’s too spicy. Oh, let me tell you something.

The cheese balance is out. The heat. All right. Trust me. It’s a very complex flavor profile. Did you just say flavor profile? Well, yeah, I’ve, um, I’ve been binging Top Chef on Peacock. It’s really expanded my culinary horizons. So, yeah. Mm-hmm.

Pru it.

You want me to eat fungus pizza special, and it’s delicious. I can. Oh, well maybe your horizons aren’t as expensive as you thought.

I’ll try yours. If you try mine.

I’m so sorry, Justin. I never meant to put you in such a tough position. It’s an awful position. If it’s any consolation, which it’s. Probably not. I feel bad for keeping this from Xander too. I just hope when this all comes out, which it will. It doesn’t get too complicated. Well, it might. Xander has a new girlfriend.

He does. Who? Chloe Lane. When did that happen? Just recently. And apparently it’s getting pretty serious. Wait, so Bonnie’s upset that you’re dating me because of Sarah. Right. She’s said it would hurt her feelings. Why? I mean, you and Sarah are divorced. Yeah, I mean, I reminded Bonnie of that and I had to tell her, you know, Sarah has no interest in what I’m up to.

She’s too busy getting busy with Rex Brady. Is that true? Actually, according to Bonnie, no. How would she know? She ran into Sarah when last week she was in Chicago visiting Mimi. Oh, well, I mean that, that explains it. Sarah’s fresh and Bonnie’s kooky little brain. She’s pretending to be concerned about her feelings.

Trust me. Give it a day or two. She’ll be freaking out about something else. All right.

Funko Vic has a problem with me working at Basic Black and seizing every opportunity that I can. He can tell me that himself. I’ll be sure and relay the message and I’ll remember what you both said at all as fair and business. Family be damned. Oh, you know what? Just a heads up. My husband has a reputation of being ruthless when it comes to the competition, but believe me, huh?

Yes, I know what it is. I can slay with the best of them.

Don’t let Bonnie get to you. Trust me, I’ve known that woman since I was a teenager and she’s always been a little off. Well, I mean, I’ve gotten to know Bonnie a little bit over the last few years and trust me this was off even by her stance. But you know what? I’m going to follow your wonderful advice and not worry about it.

Cause I am actually rather content right now. Hmm. That makes two of us. Hmm.

Wait, wait. Did I just hear your stomach growl? Well, in addition to being content, I am actually rather hungry. Mm-hmm. That makes two of us. But there’s no food in this house. Since we both started working, we’ve kind of neglected the grocery shopping duties so. What do you wanna do for dinner? I, I, we too content, but hungry people are going out.

Sandra and Chloe, not two people that I ever guessed were dating, not just dating, living together. You’re kidding me. I told you things were moving fast, Justin. It makes me wonder whether I. Neither Xander would be slamming on the brakes if he knew Sarah was pregnant with his kid. Well, he doesn’t know, and we’ve agreed not to tell him.

So there’s no point in speculating. Can’t help it. Well, are you saying that you think we should tell Xander? No, no, no, no, no. I made a promise to Sarah and I have to. I have to keep it. There you go. There you go. Take these. Take these. I’ll be right back. Oh gosh. Where are you going? I’m going to the pub to get you some chicken soup.

Oh. Guaranteed to hit the spot. Hurry back please. I’ll be right back. Maybe some brandy too.

So what do you think? Um, it’s interesting. How’s yours? Interesting. Yeah. You sure? You don’t wanna take a sip of that cold beer? No, no, no. I’m, I’m fine. Well, your eyes are watery. There’s no shame in admitting this. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

How do you eat that? My mouth is on fire. Yeah. Here. Yes, it is. An acquired taste. Mm, yeah. Well, you acquired a taste for mushroom. No, sorry. Sweetness. I guess we’re gonna have to order two different kinds of pizza from now on. Well, it’s kinda like marriage, you know. Sometimes you agree. Sometimes you have to compromise, and sometimes you just have to let the other person do what they want.

I guess the trick is knowing when to do which. I think we got that down. We definitely do baby.

Get another sip of beer.

Can you believe Maggie? Showing up here acting like I’m some kind of a traitor. You are a liar, Alex. What? You weren’t straight with me, man. What do you mean? I wasn’t straight with you, Brady. I told you Maggie fired me because she thought I botched some kind of major deal. Alex, she didn’t mention that the deal had anything to do with Yuri Kassoff.

Okay. Even when you suggested that we go after his business, that is a liable mission. I didn’t think it mattered. Look, if this is gonna work. You can’t withhold any information from me, none clients deals. You gotta tell me everything. Understood. Why didn’t you just tell me that you had met with Yuri when you were with Titan?

I don’t know, man. I I just figured that if you knew the history, maybe you wouldn’t want to go along with it. Well, imagine that. Alright, look, if you think this is a bad idea, I’ll call Yuri right now and I’ll tell him that we’re backing out. I’ll do it right now.

Well, I am gonna put the rest of mine in the refrigerator so that I can have it from breakfast tomorrow. You know, that’s one of the advantages of not eating the entire pizza on a single night. What’s up?

I’m just thinking about Paulina Stephanie said, and how she couldn’t bring herself to go to the Juneteenth celebration without Abe. I know. So sad.

You know, she was over here last night to see how John and I were doing with the search. Poor woman’s going out of her mind and we had nothing to give her. You will, you are going to bring Abe home and to be without him today must be torture for her. For both of them. Yeah. We both know how hard it is to be apart from the person that you love, especially on your anniversary

all that time. I thought I’d lost you. I was sure I’d never see you again.

And here we are. Devin, a pizza party. I’ll say it again. I can’t believe how lucky I am. You’re both lucky and I am never. I’m gonna take you or our family, or our future for granted. I won’t either. Have I told you tonight how much I love you? You don’t have to tell me, baby. I know.

I love you too. Sweetness.

Alex put the phone down. So you don’t want me to call off the deal? No, I don’t. I What about Maggie? I love Maggie. I care about Maggie. But like I told her, this is business and she wouldn’t expect me to pull out of a deal just to spare her feelings. And besides, we worked our asses off for this. That is exactly what I wanted to hear.

So how about those nachos? Huh? I wouldn’t go celebrate in just yet. Why not? We won. We won the first round. This might be a long fight. You saw Maggie’s face. She’s pissed. I mean, what do you think she’s gonna do? I don’t know, but I know one thing. She’s not gonna take this line down.

You, um, you ready for some dessert? Oh, that depends what’s on the menu. Why don’t you come over here and find out? Oh, uh, Julie, let me in. I’m so sorry to interrupt. No, no, no. Not at all. We were just about to have dessert. Would you like to join? Uh, no thank you. I can’t say. I just, I just came to ask you a question.

Um, okay. Ask away. How would you like to come and work for me at Titan?

So what looks good to you? Everything. Oh, now it’s okay.

Um, Justin, long time no see. Sandra, Hey, you, uh, here for Bite, are you? Uh, no, no. I’m, uh, just here to grab some takeout. Oh, well, why don’t you grab a chair and sit with us while you wait. No, I can’t do that. I’m, uh, I’m in a hurry. I, no, don’t be ded. I’m c crazy. Geez. Come pull up a chair and tell us everything that’s been going on with you.

Oh

damn.

Okay.

Sarah, Hey, uh, it’s body Carus. The reason I call you is that. We need to talk. Look, uh, the thing is, as hard as I’m trying, I, I don’t know if I can keep your secret.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You know what I was thinking? I was thinking we have one of those beautiful chocolate fountains. Oh. And for the first dance. How about that Amazing Ed Shean song shape of you. It’s my favorite. Anyway. Hey. Hello. Sorry, I, uh, stop thinking about ej. Yeah, well I was trying to distract you, but I guess it didn’t work.

It’s strange how he just disappeared. You think he’s trying to make some kind of end run behind her back? Highly likely. Look, EJ is always up. Something sketchy, as you won’t know. In fact, we should probably be using this time to plan our counter attack. Such as? Such as using his curious absence to make inroads with Megan.

You know, when I ran into her earlier, she said she was still considering our proposal to team up. Oh yeah. It’ll be like gates and Jobs all over again. You don’t believe her, huh? Are you? You leave her Stephan. Are you kidding me? Your sister’s as subtle as a shark attack. Is it not ridiculously obvious that she has her own agenda?

So Lee, have you touched base with the good Dr. Rolfe? Well hurry up. It’s not like we can hire a cruise ship hypnotist to Brainwash Commander Michaels. Now, can we. No, I haven’t decided yet exactly when and where or how, but just that my brother Stephan’s extinction needs to take place at exactly the right time.

Look, stop worrying. Kristen and AJ are locked away nicely. Some tight in the secret room downstairs. There’s absolutely no way they can sabotage.

How’s big mama holding up? Oh, she’s fine now. She’s just taking a little lie down. She’s bone tired from a trip. Yeah, she was saying it was a rough life across the turbulence. Not to mention that she hates flying no matter what the. Well bless her heart for making the effort to come all this way. Yeah, she sure surprised me.

I had no idea she was coming, but you know, maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe it’s good that she’s resting cuz I sure don’t like the idea. Fold the pieces right in front of her. I’m not sure how much I can even hold it all together. Mama, we’re all here for you, Paulina. Oh, I know. And we are all praying for Abraham Darling.

I know. I appreciate that. I know you are. I know you are. Uh, but it’s just that. The longer he’s missing with no, you know, no word from and no way to reach him. Where, where, where God’s name could he be?

Why would you say such a thing of, of course, I’m your wife. Are you feeling discombobulated? Do you wanna rest a little while? I feel perfectly fine except for the fact that you have been lying through your teeth. Darling, why would you say such a thing? I just had a memory from the wedding jumping the broom with the bride in that bride.

Definitely wasn’t. You

like Sam through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Leah have to go.

Who the hell are you? I’m Leo Stark, also known by my adoring fans. This lady whistleblower. And you must be Megan Hathaway, also known as Megan Demara. What were you doing in my tunnels? Well, I was going to take the front door, but I knew Harold would never be so kind as to let me in, so I came the back way.

Well, I hope you haven’t helped yourself to our valuable wine collection while you’re down there. I’m more of a banana daiquiri kind of guy, so no, I came straight up to see you. Me the poor. Well, there is a lovely British reporter named Gwen Rizek, who happens to be my best friend, and I happen to know that you and your dastardly son are using her as a pawn in some sort of evil scheme.

But I have news for you, Megan Hathaway, or Demira, or whatever the hell you’re calling yourself these days. You are not going to get away with it. Not if Leo Stark has anything to say about it.

And, um, Hmm. How exactly did this happen? Uh, well, I distinctly remember you kissing me and then.

I’m so sorry, Glen. I hate to do this, but, um, I’ve been waiting on this, this business text.

Is it important? Seeing your beautiful eyes and having just felt your lips on,

I just can help. I

I didn’t take it to four.

No, no. I would’ve let you know if. Obviously the feelings were regretted,

but this, this can’t happen again.

Thank you so much, Julie, for stopping by, for bringing my darling son-in-law with you. I want you to know that Doug and I are standing by for you anytime, anything you need. I appreciate that. And Eli, I want you to know that I sleep, you know, better at night for a little, a little better anyway, knowing that you’re on the case.

Yeah. I told Lonnie that we’d find a, and I don’t intend on letting her down. Oh, thank you so much for taking care of my baby girl. I know, I know. How hard things have been over the past year for you both. Yeah, it’s, it’s definitely been tough. The twins and I, we hate being separated from Lonnie, but. Well, we’re managing as best as we can.

Mm. So sorry that the situation just pulled you away from my precious little jewels and carver. No, it’s okay. I can use the break. Oh, I’m no, but look, I, I don’t intend on being here too long. Like I said, we’re gonna find Abe no matter what it takes. Oh, oh, oh.

Well, if it wasn’t me, sweetheart, then who was it? It was that woman, the one from my dream. You and your dream girl. You know what? What was it? Was it Shirley, Ralph, or are we talking Beyonce? Neither? Well, I don’t know who’s making guest appearances in these dreams of yours, but clearly you are mixing things up.

It wasn’t a dream. I am telling you. It was memory darling. Dreams and memories. You just, they’re all the same thing. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. This was, this was vivid.

I was wary that light blue suit and the bride, bride was wearing a gold dress with, uh, With a black floral pattern. Yes, exactly. That was what I was wearing. But it wasn’t you. Oh, Abraham sweetheart. Of course it was me. Prove it. What? How am I gonna prove it? I don’t. Show me a picture of our wedding.

But Abraham, you saw our wedding photo. My daughter Chanel showed it to you at the hospital, remember? But I had just woken up from surgery and everything was, everything was fuzzy, and that image was pretty hazy. I wanna see it again. Well, I don’t have it on my phone. Just not enough gigabytes at the moment.

So, but we don’t, we don’t have a, a photo album with a wedding around here somewhere. We don’t. It was destroyed. What, how Yeah. And, and a fire. Oh, all of our precious memories just went poof up in smoke. Just like that. You’re telling me that there isn’t a, a single photo left from our wedding? Sadly, no. I’m not a single one.

You know, something’s not right here.

Sophia, tell me about the Juneteenth celebration. Well, everybody was asking about Dad. Oh yeah. They’re all very worried about him. Of course they are. Your dad touched on so many people’s lives. I’m, I’m so glad. I’m proud that you were there to represent him and the family. I wish I could have been there too, but you know, I, I, I just was in no shape to go.

Yeah. Julie said you gave a speech. Darn. My dad was supposed to give. Well, I was surprised to hear, I know how much you hate public speaking. I do, but, um, uncle Chad convinced me to do it. I just hope I didn’t embarrass myself too much. Oh, I’m sure. I’m sure you were wonderful baby. And your father, when he comes home, he be, his heart will be so full hearing that you, you filled in for him.

I hope so. Mm-hmm. Oh, and. I almost forgot. Um, there was this older woman who came up to me after the speech, big supporter of dad’s. She wanted to give me this, she, uh, intended to give it to you too as an anniversary gift, but um, she made it herself. Oh, wow. Kind of her beautiful. She said that I don’t give you strength.

And remind you that no matter how bleak things may seem, never give up hope

or Paulina. She can barely hold it together. Well, that’s understandable. It’s one thing not to be with the person you love, but not to know if they’re dead or alive. I just wish there was more we can do to help her. Oh, you and me both seeing Paulina like this, it just. Breaks my heart. I. I think you mean my heart

evil scheme? I don’t know. I have a clue what you’re talking about. Oh, don’t you play innocent with me, lady. You and I both know that you are using my best friend to launder, your son Dimitri’s soiled reputation that he’s using some kind of hot guy, black magic to manipulate Gwen into writing these glowing pieces about him in the Spectator.

Oh. Is that what you think? I don’t think I know. Look, Mr. Whistleblower, I’ll admit that. I was delighted with your friends ride up onto Dimitri what mother wouldn’t be. People seem to have gotten the wrong idea about him. They think he’s some kind of a monster. He is. He’s like a Bootylicious Voldemort.

Well, I would suspect that your friend Gwen wouldn’t agree with you because he has cast a spell on her hell. It’d probably work on me too. There’s no spell, I assure you. My son is just naturally charismatic and charming. You can’t hold that against him. I can if he uses that charm and charisma to lure my unsuspecting friend into his web of deceit.

Your cynicism is disconcerting, Mr. Stark, not to mention that you’ve got it all wrong. You see Demitri actually enjoyed speaking with the charming Ms. Rizek, and he hopes to spend more time with her in the future. I assure you there’s no hidden agenda.

I, I don’t, I don’t understand. Why can’t it happen again?

Well, um, You and I talked about doing, doing some follow up interviews. Yes. Mm-hmm. And, uh, though I didn’t go to journalism school, I reckon that shagging, your interview subject isn’t really something that you bubbling on a pop quiz, you know? Yeah. No, I’ve probably not. No, I’ve never really been bothered by ethical boundaries myself.

If it is a problem for you, Well, I think I might have an easy solution. No, what’s that? Well, how about we end a professional relationship immediately and pursue a personal one instead.

So by a personal relationship, you mean a romantic one? Yeah. Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean. Gwen, I don’t know about you, but. I have never fallen so deeply, so fast, so hard for someone before. It’s just, um, it’s hard to describe. It’s, um, it’s like a spark, this immediate intense spark that I felt. Yeah. But as you know, I, I, I felt it too.

Um, um, when you told me about your, your upbringing, it was like you were telling me about mine, my story. Um,

I think that, I think that you and I know each other in, in ways that other people don’t really. Yes, yes, that’s exactly it. Yes. There’s something so special between us and I’m suddenly terrified of letting it slip away. And to that end, I think I’m about to ask you something crazy. Crazy. What do you mean crazy?

When risk check

will you marry me?

I hope I’ve addressed your concerns, Mr. Stark, regarding my son’s intentions with your friend, addressed my concerns. How? By bragging that your son is charming, charismatic, and honest to a fault. Well, you didn’t say that, but it was in the subtext and it did nothing to reassure me because A, he’s scary and creepy and so are you, and B, you two are honest, like I’m straight and tall.

Well, I’m sorry you feel that way Mr. Stark, but I’m afraid I can’t spare another minute in all this conversation. So I’m gonna have to ask you to leave. Okay, I’ll go but be warned, Ms. Damira Lady whistleblower is going to be keeping an eye on you. So you and your creepy son had better not do anything to hurt my gny perhaps.

You can use the front door this time, fine. I will. And you know what? I am glad to get away from you because honestly, you give me the Hupy Cheapies, and I know why. You remind me of my mother. She too has only a nodding acquaintance with the truth. Not to mention she’s a conniving bitch on wheels just like you.

Oh, did mommy not tuck you in at night? Didn’t read you any bedtime stories? Don’t think that you have me fooled for a nanosecond, Ms. Mustache twirler. I know that you and your son are up to something. And I am damn welcome to find out what it’s

you. I, uh, I didn’t know you were back in Salem. I’m here to help look for my father-in-law. That’s right. Yes. I heard he was, um, missing this awful, have you heard any sign of him? I didn’t know you cared. Of course I care. Not completely heartless, Julie, speaking of which, I’m glad we ran into you, Julie. It’s good to see that mild ticker is still going strong.

Well, no, thanks to Ms. Hernandez here. Uh, I I, I don’t understand. Isn’t she the one who generously donated my heart to you? Generously. You can’t be serious. Wow. I guess Gabby didn’t fill you in. She used your heart as leverage to get back at Lonnie for shooting you. How so? Look, I can explain. Oh, Alami. First she made Lonnie get down on her knees and beg for it.

Imagine the cruelty of one woman degrading another woman that way, especially a black woman. And then she would never, ever have agreed to the transplant if she hadn’t first made Lonnie swear she was gonna break my grandson’s heart. On his wedding day, then to keep Lonnie in line, she reconstructed the pacemaker in my heart somehow so she could control it from her telephone.

And with the flick of her finger. She could murder me by blowing up my heart. Oh, I, I had no idea she had gone to such extremes himself. You see, even he is disgusted by you. Actually, I, um, I couldn’t be more proud.

Oh, I better head out. I gotta make a pit stop before I head to the Salem end Salem and, oh, no. No way. Just staying right here with us. I thought you guys had a full house. Well, you can take my room and I can sleep at Mama’s. Thank you Janelle. Seriously, guys. It’s fine. Oh, honey, honey, are you sure? We’d love to have you.

No, I’m, I’m sure. Look, I’m gonna be spending most of my time looking for that anyway, so I’ll make sure to stop and as often as I can check in with you guys. Oh, Theo, oh, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so glad you’re here. Thanks for coming. You don’t need to thank me. A year ago today, we became family, which means that we have to look out for each other.

That’s what, doubt it. What?

I’m sorry, Abraham. I, I wish that I could show you the picture, but unfortunately that doggone fire incinerated our entire album. It’s in the picture on Janelle’s phone. Can’t you send it to you? Uh, I mean, in theory she could. Well, you know, why don’t I call her? May, may I, um, yes. Oh. I bet you I can find the photo on my computer here.

Oh, thank you. Okay, let’s see. Oh, I’m just the empress of digital dust. There’s a lot going on here. This. Folders within folders. I don’t have anything arranged properly. Oh, this lock going, oh, this picture, my trip to Machu Picchu in 22. You know, you know, I, I, I think it’ll be much faster if I just call her.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I think I found one. Um, you did? Yes, I did. Well, the should. Let me see her. You know what? I don’t really like the angle on my face. That’s not my most flattering thing. Just show me the damn picture, Paulina. Okay, fine. Here you go.

Oh my God.

I, I don’t understand. Oh, what’s not to understand, darling, as you can clearly see the bride in the photo is none other than more

my mind must be playing tricks on me guys. That’s the only explanation. That and a little Photoshop. What was that? Huh? Oh, no. Nothing darling. Nothing darling. No. You know, if I’m being honest, the only reason that I was convinced I was right. So I noticed that you don’t wear your wedding ring. Oh. Well, that’s because I leave it at home.

You know what? With all the hand washing that I have to do, I wouldn’t want it to fall down the drain. And so I leave it home and sometimes I forget to put it back on. Can I see it? Uh uh. Sure.

It’s my most prized possession.

Wow. I, uh, I’m so sorry for doubting you, accusing you of not being my wife, especially on our anniversary.

So how can I, how can I make it up to you?

Hle.

I have an idea.

All right. Well done with the dishes. Mama, can I get you anything and a little tea? No. Well, thank you, baby. I’m all right for now. Is that your wedding album? Yeah. And with all this, well, let’s talk about our anniversary. I thought it might be nice. Take a little stroll down memory lane. My goodness. Mama, you were so beautiful that day.

I mean, not that you aren’t every day. Thank you, baby. Oh. Oh, oh, look, that beautiful cake you made for us. You know there’s still a piece in the freezer. Ava and I were supposed to share it today. Oh, mama, you will. Okay. Maybe not today, but, so

what’s this? Oh. Those are Abraham’s vows. That’s a touch button. I should have had somebody personally to fan me down at the altar when he read them. Oh, I just had eight. That’s the copy. I had eight printout for me. His words. They were so heartfelt and the way he delivered them with the that e voice at him, you know, I wouldn’t believe it possible, but I love him even more today than I did back then.

And I wish he was here, so I wish he was here so much so I could tell him that. Oh mama, he knows wherever he is, he knows

you’re proud of Gabby. Proud of her. Humiliating and tormenting and manipulating Alani for over a year in this terrifying way. Lonnie is no saint. She did shoot me in the throat. Your mother was attempting to flee. Lonnie had no choice to fire, and if we being real, it’s your own damn fault for jumping your stupid ass in front of a bullet.

Okay? I do admit that the uh, details are a little fuzzy. That was a very chaotic night, but if I’m not mistaken, that wasn’t the last time Lonnie got in trouble for being a little trigger happy. Isn’t she in prison right now for shooting her own father? Not want a lot of talk after somebody who don’t know what the hell they talking about.

Darling don’t. He’s not worth it. She’s not worth it. They deserve each other. That’s right. We do. And that’s why we’re getting married again. Congratulations for your honeymoon. You can both go to hell.

Oh, father, I suspect you might not like my plans for Stephan, but if it’s any consolation, I’ll do my best to spare Kristen and ej. Then hopefully feeding them well will be a morale boost. Make them less cranky.

Hello? Oh God. I really have to beef up security around here. I’m sorry, I, I hope I’m not interrupting your dinner. Oh my goodness. You are Theo Carver, aren’t you? Lexi’s son. That would be me. Ah, you’re so very handsome. I am your auntie Megan, and it is a real pleasure to finally meet you. You too. So what brings you here?

I’m actually looking for my uncle ej.

Th this, this can’t be happening. I mean, you are, you are joking, right? You’re just having a bit of a laugh, aren’t you? No, no. I’m dead serious, Gwen. I want you to make me the luckiest man on the face of this earth.

I mean, we just met and we, we don’t even know each other. Oh, I know everything I need to know about you. I look at you, you’re insanely beautiful. You’re whip smart. You make me laugh, and uh oh, you’re a maestro in the sheets. What more can men want? This is, this is, this is meant, this is crazy. This is crazy.

Exactly like what she saying. Yes. No, I understand how it might seem that way, but I’ve always been someone who goes after what they want and knows exactly what that is, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. Life is too short to dilly dally

if I’m. Understanding correctly.

Are you saying that you love me? You know, I never believed in love at first sight, but I have been proven wrong. Gwen, I have been waiting my entire life for a woman like you to come by and I am not about to let you slip away. No, not like Xander did that idiot. He, he had no idea what he had. He didn’t appreciates you.

Not like I do. God. I do. And I promise you, Glen. I will spend every single last waking moment of my life devoted to making you happy. And all you have to do is say one little word. Yes.

You’re not saying anything can, I’m sorry. I, I just, oh, my heart’s pounding and, uh, adrenaline is pumping walls from my body and the. So Well, there’s no, there’s no words coming to me. It’s ok. I understand. I completely understand. It is not lost on me how spur of the moment, how impulsive this is, but it just feels so right.

Doesn’t it feel the same way for you? I’m not, I’m not sure. Maybe this will give you some clarity.

With a sock. Oh, holy moly. No way. No how I they, they what in the name of RuPaul’s Drag Race is going on? Imagine, didn’t you see the sock? Yeah, I saw the sock, but I was unaware. We were back in the freshman dorms at state, and you are obviously unaware. You just slept with a lying snake who is going to break your heart into a million pieces, and I’m the one who’s gonna have to pick those pieces up.

Not that I mind because as you know, I adore you. But for God’s sake, Gwenny, have we not established that this guy who is staring at me, will you stop staring at me please? You are creeping me out. Is using you for good press? According to you, Madi, that is because I am the only one who has not taken leave of his senses.

Will you listen to me? Dimitri here has put off our scheduled interviews. Okay. What? You heard me? Perhaps the two of you would rather discuss this. In private. No, no. Please don’t go. No, it’s fine.

Do you mind?

Oh, and Gwen, I don’t mean to pressure you, but. Think about what I said.

I’m afraid your Uncle EJ is outta town on business. I’d be happy to take a message if you’d like. Oh, no need. I was just hoping to see him while I’m in town. He sent me a couple messages about my dad and I said I’d hit him up if I came to Salem, so right. Of course, and I heard about your father. I’m terribly sorry.

Have the police found any leads? Not really. We’ll talk about hope. I’m sure that Nana and my daily departed sister are watching over him. Thank you. You know, you’re really not as scary as everybody makes you out to be. Well, you are as plainspoken as everyone says you are, and I like that about you, Theo. I hope to see you around here more often.

I can’t take this anymore. Oh. Well, what can I do for you, mama? Or we could go for a walk, try and get your mind off things. Oh, no, nothing will. Nothing will stop me thinking about my Abraham, what? I already lost my husband. I can’t go through that again. I don’t have the strength. Of course you do, mama. You are strong and brave, and so you have to just try to stay positive, okay?

For yourself and for Abe, because he is out there fighting to get back to you. I just know it.

Oh,

what have I gotten myself into? Abraham baby.

It is such an honor and a privilege to renew our vows on such a blessed day. Uh, shouldn’t we have invited our family? Oh, Abraham, we have our family surrounding us. Well, I, I, I met, I met Chanel and Theo. Um, oh, what’s that you say? Uhhuh. Uhhuh. Oh, thank you. Thank, uh, apparently the invitations never got to them.

Something about. A scared mailman and an attack dog. Oh, but no worries. We will send them the photos. After all, we have to replace the ones that were lost in the fire. Uh, I’m not exactly dressed for the occasion. Uh, you know what I will, uh, I’ll put on that light blue suit that I wore for the wedding. Ooh, the suit burned up in the fire too.

All we could find were your charred cuff links, so, well that’s, that’s a shame. Fires are so indiscriminate, aren’t they? Anyway, gimme a ring.

Miss Caddy LaBelle will hold onto this until we’re ready. Okay. All. Shall we begin?

So you actually slept with Count Dracula. Don’t call him that. Oh, I’m so sorry. You slept with Dimitri. The dastardly. Not that either. Well, whatever. We’re calling the guy. It is truly repulsive. It is nauseating. But also kind of hot, like I wouldn’t not eat an entire roast sashimi off that man’s abs. Mm.

Yeah. I’m sure that you wouldn’t not. So how was it? No, don’t tell me. Okay. Tell me. But say that it lasted all 20 seconds and there’s a weird birthmark. You can’t unsee.

It was incredible. Oh, damnit. It was, wasn’t it? I hate you. Hate him. Okay. Can you just take it down a notch please? Because you’ve given me a pounding headache and I’m, I’m already. Quite wound up and somewhat dazed. Wound up and dazed. Why? Wait, what did that guy who I hate more now than I did before?

Because I am all sorts of jealous that you two had so much fun doing the dirty and I haven’t had that kind of fun in a month of Sundays. But I’m also angry with him because he’s using you. What did he mean earlier? What does he want you to think about? Nothing.

He just asked me to marry him.

Oh, mother. Oh, Dimitri. Hello? Oh, those look good one from me. No, they were, oh. I must have worked a bit of an appetite sleeping the fair, miss Rizek off her feet and into bed. Oh, Dimitri, that’s wonderful. I am so proud of you. Thank you. Although this is a bit of a weird conversation. Even for us to be having.

So don’t ask for any further details. Okay? Just one. Did you pop the question? I did. And let’s just say that, uh, well, we got interrupted, but don’t you worry. I’m sure she’ll have an answer to me soon. And she will undoubtedly say yes because who could say no to that magnificent face? I can practically hear what he bes already, who’s getting married.

Why you too. Of course. I, I was just, um, telling your nephew here that I’ve been planning and thinking, um, and we are gonna throw the two of you an engagement party. Wow. I That’s very generous of you. That is very kind, Megan. Thank you. Absolutely my pleasure. And I promise you, this will be a party that you will never forget me and I, I must apologize to you.

I, I thought I had put that whole ugly episode out of my mind, but when I saw those two crocodiles rising from their pri ordinal swamp, I lost it. I.

I can hardly believe that awful man’s heart is beating in my chest. Grandma, that’s your heart now. That’s why it’s kind, generous, and loving just like you. Thank you, sweetheart. Let’s forget about them. We got more important stuff to think about, like finding Abe and bringing him home to Paulina.

I’m gonna go check on Big Mama. Will you be all right here? Yes. Yes. Fine. And thank you for the pep talk. You sweet girl.

Linda Price. By the time I met you, I had, I had thought that I had experienced the last great love of my life. But every day, every day, you prove that love is not in my past. It’s in my present, and it’s in my future.

Now you say your vow. I, I’m afraid I don’t remember them. Um, okay, no problem. I I got you. I’m

Do you take this luscious woman, Paulina Price to be your lawfully wedded wife in sickness and in health to love and to cherish until death Do you part.

I do.

Oh, yes. Oh, Abraham, you’ve made me the happiest woman on the face of this earth. Again,

I hope to share that love with our children and. Our grandchildren, as long as God blesses me to.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What the hell do you think you’re doing?

Feel. Hey Chad, is it really? You come here. Oh God, it’s so good to see you. Yes, I’m here. I’m really sorry about what’s going on with your dad. Yeah, me too. Thanks. That was ju just with Doug and Julie and. They were asking if I’d heard from you. You know, they’re, they’re upset about your dad. Of course we all are, but it’ll be really comforting to them that you’re here,

darling. You’re not eating, not hungry, but you’re okay. I mean, you’re feeling well. I’m fine physically. I’m fine. I’m just heartsick Doug. We, we just got past the anniversary of Abigail’s death and now this disappearance of Abraham. Yes. So much grief in his family. You know, today is, is Paulina and Abe’s first wedding anniversary.

Juneteenth. Yeah. A day of jubilation. And instead it’s, Hey, I hope y’all don’t mind. I let myself in. Eli. Eli. Good, Eli.

Happy anniversary. Abraham.

Oh dear Lord, please. Please let this be good news,

mama. What on Earth? Why are you here? Why am I here? I’m here because I know you need me.

Sorry, I’m late, babe. I had a cold yellow when I was running out the door. So what you been up to? Well, I was watching those old soap tapes of yours when all of a sudden I remembered something very important. Oh, uh, what do you, what do you mean? What did you remember? Don’t you have something you want to say to me?

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

Ooh, you look so good, handsome, tall, slender. Yeah. You look as though you could use a little home cooked food. I’ll just go make you a plate right now. No, no, grandma, it’s, it’s okay. I don’t, I don’t need to eat right now. Don’t fight it, grandson. It’d be a losing battle. Okay. I’m let, let’s do it. Okay. Thank you.

I’ll be right back. Hey, hey, hey. Hey. Wow, you just got here in time. I was about to break out the chocolate truffles to cheer up your grandma. Hmm. But you are the perfect bomb. Oh, I don’t know. She loves her truffles. So, uh, why didn’t you tell us that you were coming? I wanted it to be a surprise. Ray and I, we’ve been in constant contact about a, but it’s, it’s just hard with me not being here.

So I had a couple days off, so I figured I’d show up and see what I can do to help. Well, you’ve helped already just by being here. Oh yeah, darling. Ooh, thanks. Thank you, grandma. You’re welcome. So where are my beautiful, great-grandchildren? Uh, they’re with my mom in DC but I, I promise next time I’ll bring ’em with me.

It won’t be months and months from now, I hope. No, no, no, no. I’ll bring it back soon. Hopefully Abe will be here as well. Yeah, well, we’re all praying for that, but, but unless, unless you’ve heard something from Ray or, or somebody, the, the police don’t have any leads. No, no news, unfortunately. But I did hear that they ruled out Colin Bedford as a suspect.

Yeah. Well we heard that. Abraham is such a good and decent man. You know, he does not have an enemy in the world, and for him to be kidnapped, actually, he still hadn’t recovered completely from that last assault. Why? Oh, why Lord? Who in the world would do this to him? Well, what do you mean, Abe? What? What would I have to tell you?

Well, I was sitting here watching. Body and soul and Cassandra and Rhett were celebrating their second anniversary, their second anniversary of their fourth wedding. That is, And all of a sudden came back to me. What did Paul, today is our wedding anniversary, isn’t it,

baby? I wish I could say happy anniversary and happy Juneteenth too. But I know this is a tough time for you, so I’m just gonna say I love you and I’m here for you. Bless your heart. That means so much to me. But mama, why’d you call and tell me you were coming because I wasn’t gonna let you talk me out of it.

Besides, I had to see with my own two eyes that my baby was okay, well, she’s a lot better. Not a choice.

I had these fires printed. I wanted to do something to help find your stepfather. Yeah. Well, Abe is the mayor, so everyone pretty much already knows he’s missing. So all of this is just performative. Chanel, wait, look, I know I should have said this yesterday at the hospital, but thank you for what? Calling the cops and saving me from Colin.

And I’m sorry about all the terrible things I said about you. Why did you say them? Because Colin was listening to every word I was saying. He had a gun. I had to say whatever I had to to save your life. And yours. Look Chanel, I didn’t want you to get hurt. More than I already hurt you.

Yeah, I wish I would’ve known you were coming. I would’ve asked EJ to send that yet. Uh, no. It’s, it’s cool. I actually bought a ticket months ago. My dad is supposed to give this big speech for the Juneteenth celebration and, um, my wanted to surprise him. Right. Well look man, it’s really good to see you.

Yeah. And I’m sure it’ll mean a lot to Melanie.

Hey. Hey. You okay? Yeah. Um,

my dad, his office asked me to deliver a speech form and for some reason I said yes. What do you mean? I think that’s a great idea. He sold your dad. Yeah. It’s just that it is supposed to happen in like half an hour and. There’s no way that I can do it.

I tried to tell Dad’s staff that someone else should give the speech, but line is unavailable obviously, and they didn’t wanna ask Paulina, so, so why not you? Because I’m terrified of public speaking. It’s basically my biggest fear. I mean, I, I, I start to sweat, I trip up on my words. I, I, my hands are clammy just thinking about it.

Yeah, I know the feeling. You do. Yeah. What do you think? You’re the only person that hates public speaking? No, but I’ve seen you give speeches before. You seem totally cool. Yeah. Maybe if it’s about, um, business or something.

A year ago. A year ago. Um, I, uh, I had to give the eulogy at Abby’s funeral and the pressure, you know, I mean, it was just,

I had to be strong for the kids, first of all, and, and I wanted to, you know, I wanted to use the right words to honor their mother’s memory. She got through it. Yeah. But I wasn’t sure that I would. And then I walked up there and I looked around and I saw all of my friends and family, all of their faces, and I knew that they were there with me and Abby was too.

And then this, yeah, this calm just kind of washed over me. And then, like you said, I got through it and you will too today. You know you’re gonna be the one up there at the microphone, but. You bet your ass. I’ll be there. So Ani and Paulina, Brandon, you know your whole family, your mom, the most important.

Your dad, he will be there too. Yeah. Yeah. I know. I just, I don’t wanna disappoint him. I don’t wanna let him down. You mean you couldn’t if you tried? You want what? Let him down. Some boring white dude drawn on about the history of Juneteenth. Yeah. Sad. Yeah. You’re gonna make your dad proud. Okay. I know you are.

Okay, I’ll do it. But I need your help.

How’s Lonnie doing? I mean, I, I know you’re busy. You, you have the children and you have your job, but. You must get to see her sometimes as much as they’ll allow me to. She’ll be eligible for parole in six months, so hopefully she’ll be home by Christmas. Oh, oh, that would be wonderful. Yes, it would.

Apparently she’s doing incredible things in there. She’s mentoring prisoners, changing lives. It’s, it’s, I don’t know, it’s just so many women in prison. They just need someone to believe in him. Lonnie is a wonder. We’re always so proud of her. Yeah. Oh, I know that when she’s released, she won’t be able to be a cop again, which is a damn shame because she’s, she’s one of the best, but whatever she does, I know she’ll be great at it.

I am counting down the days until she’s home again.

So I hired Black Patch investigators to work with the police. Oh, they’re the best. And they, they happen to be Abe’s closest friends, but they, they still haven’t found anything. Well, baby. Now you told me Abe was dealing with memory loss. You think maybe he could have wandered off? No, I brought that up. But Mama Abe is the mayor.

He’s one of the most recognizable men in Salem. If he was wandering around the streets, someone would’ve called a tip by now. Unless now don’t you go to that dark place. You hear me? Don’t go to that dark place. Especially not today. Come here baby. Come here.

Now you’ve listened to me, you’ve gotta have faith that your wonderful husband will be found and that he’ll come back to you. Okay.

How did you know that it was our anniversary? Are are, are you starting to remember? No. No. But, uh, Chanel your daughter, I. When we were in the hospital, she told me that we were married on Juneteenth. That’s today, isn’t it? That’s right. So today is, is our wedding anniversary. Of course. I wasn’t hiding it from you.

In fact, I was planning a special dinner for us later. How many years are we celebrating? Just one. One. So this is our first anniversary? Yes. Mm-hmm. It is. Uh, you know, we had both lived such full lives before we found each other. I know it’s only been one year, but I feel as if I’ve loved you forever. Can you tell me about that day?

How dog? Yeah. What would you like to know? Was it a big wedding or a small one? It was there. Do we, do we write our own vows? That’s just tell me everything. I mean, maybe you can spark some memories.

Look, before you met me, I know Colin convinced you that my mom and I were these evil people who he needed to pay back for what we did to his family. But then you did meet me. I gave you a job and we were friends. Or at at least I thought you were my friend. I was. But you still did everything he told you to do.

You went along with his plan to destroy our lives. Look, I know it doesn’t make sense and it doesn’t even make sense to me. Okay. But I’m working through it. I went to go see Dr. Evans and she made me realize that. I was in an abusive relationship. Colin abused you? Yeah, emotionally. I mean, he never hit me or anything, but he had this power over me that I can’t even explain.

And I know it sounds crazy to somebody as strong as you. Not crazy really. When I was with Colin’s father, he was my professor and well, He had all the power in our relationship, and even though it was totally consensual, there was just something that made me feel like I had no choice but to be with him.

It’s always easy to see looking back at it, right? And I know that my situation is way different from yours, and I’m not trying to make any excuses for what I did at all. But you and your mom were so good to me, and a part of me felt like I needed to stop Collin’s plan right then, but, but you didn’t. But I didn’t know how Chanel, when he asked me to seduce you and then break your heart, look, I didn’t think that it would happen.

Okay. I didn’t think that you would feel for me, cuz I knew I wouldn’t feel for you. I never even thought about being with a woman before Chanel, but when we got close I did feel something.

You want me to believe you had real feelings for me? Is that what you’re saying? Look, look, no, I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m saying. Chanel, I, I just knew that I didn’t expect to feel so connected to you. Okay. After that, I knew I had to stop lying and I just had to tell you the truth. Yeah. Or are you sure you weren’t just trying to get out of sleeping with me?

I don’t think so. Look, before I left Colin that day, I made him promise me not to hurt you or your mom. Yeah. I guess he wasn’t keeping that promise. No. Unfortunately not. Look, when I saw him on top of that roof pointing that gun at you, I knew I couldn’t let him. Everything after that, I don’t know it. It was a blur on instinct.

I lunged at him, and before you know it, I was falling off the side of the roof. You saved my life and you almost lost yours in the process. Look, I can’t, I can’t take credit for that. Okay. Cuz I know that I could have stopped it way earlier. Okay. But you did stop it and could have been worse. A hell of a lot worse.

He was gonna kill me and then he was gonna kill my mom next. So I owe you a thank you.

Why would you want the gory details of our wedding day? Why were they gory? I mean, weren’t they happy memories? Oh, yes, yes, of course. I mean, well, the wedding part was amazing. It was perfect. But right after we said I do, our daughter confessed to murder. What? Chanel killed somebody. Oh, no, no. Chanel’s my daughter.

With my ex. I’m talking about our daughter Lonnie.

Why am I just hearing about this? I haven’t wanted to overwhelm you with details since When is having a daughter a detail, Helena, why is this the first time I’m hearing about her daughter and, and why haven’t I seen Lonnie? Well, because she’s in prison. In prison. I’m sorry, I just didn’t wanna spring all of this on you at once.

Well, do I have any other children I don’t know about. Yes, actually. You have a son.

All right. So, uh, what do you, uh, do you need some help writing your speech? No, I, I have the speech my dad wrote, but there’s another way that you could help me. Okay. Whatever you need. So, um, back in the day, my speech therapist used to have me line up all of my stuffed animals and just practice having conversations with them.

Okay. So you will, I can go back and get some of Thomas and Charlotte’s stuffies for you. No, I I, I’m kidding. I’m kidding. I’m kidding. You want me to be your audience? Yeah. If, if you wouldn’t mind, fine. I would be honored. Okay,

you grab this.

Good afternoon. I’m Mayor Abe Carver. No, I’m a mayor. Hip Carter’s son, Theo. I know. He wishes you were here today. But I wanna start by talking about what brings us together on this special day

on June 19th, 1865, where it finally reached Galveston, Texas, that the Civil War had ended two months earlier, or importantly, it was a day that the last enslaved people in the United States learned that they were free. That next year, the first Juneteenth celebration was held in Texas. But soon as the families moved elsewhere, they took that tradition with them,

uh, Juneteenth spread all across the country. And finally, last year, Juneteenth became a federal holiday. This day has been known in various parts as Jubilee Day. Emancipation Day and even Black Independence Day. It’s also the day that I, um, no, it’s also the day that my dad calls his anniversary. And today as every day, we celebrate with a mixture of joy, for freedom, sadness, for our years of hardship, and for those still struggling.

I know for a better, brighter future.

And darling, you gotta have faith. Faith in the good Lord. I do have faith Mama. In both the good Lord and in Abraham. Well, you hold on tight to that faith. Okay?

And honey, I know this is supposed to be a day of celebration, but as I recall, your wedding day was not exactly a day of sunshine and roses. No. No it wasn’t. It was the best day of my life and it turned into one of the worst when Lonnie got arrested. And what does that tell you? That today isn’t just about celebration.

It’s about taking the good with the bad, looking to the future, and holding onto that faith. You must never stop believing that a will come back to you. You hear me? I hear you.

Please, no need to thank me. I’m just really happy that you’re okay.

Well, um, I should go. I made teacakes for my mom’s anniversary. Oh, wow. I’m sure she’ll love them. I used your recipe. So does that mean the bakery’s back open? No. No. Um, but I’m working on it. I’m, I’m sorry. Yeah. Well, for what it’s worth, I hope Abe’s found soon, and I know you don’t think it’ll do anything, but I’m gonna continue to knock on some doors and I’m gonna hang up some flyers.

Oh yeah. Look, I’m not gonna give up. Okay. Chanel,

oh my stars. Look at the time I promised Thomas and Charlotte I was gonna take them to the park to meet Chad for the Juneteenth celebration. I’d like to go with you, sweetheart, but I’m still feeling a little wiped out. My darling here went 10 rounds with the flu last week, and one as always. Yeah. See, thank God.

Would you like to come with me to the park? Yeah, absolutely. Maybe Paulino will be there too. Yeah. You know, Abraham was supposed to give the speech today, wonder who’s gonna take his place as if anybody could

to quote President Obama. Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible and there’s still so much work to do.

On behalf of my dad, we thank you. Happy Juneteenth. Happy anniversary that

it’s perfect. You’re gonna the park.

I’m ready.

Mama, aren’t you supposed to? Big mama. Hi. Hey. Hi. I am so happy you’re here. So good to see you. It’s good to see you too. We have missed you so much. Well that’s good because I missed you too and I know it means a lot to mama that you’re here. So please tell me that you’re staying for a long time. Just a few days.

Oh, well, we’ll have to see if we can talk again into staying longer, a lot longer. We will definitely work on that. And aren’t you supposed to be at the Juneteenth celebration? I was gonna bring some teacakes by afterward, sweetheart. My heart is just not in it today. Not without Abraham. What’s my son’s name?

His name is Theo. Theo. Why haven’t I seen him? Well, um, he lives out of the country, uh, South Africa actually. Oh, he, he is even calling me. Does he know I’m injured? Does he, I mean, I would at least,

what, what, what is it? I think, uh,

I think I’m close to a memory. Well, don’t push it, baby. You don’t wanna upset yourself and delay your recovery. Um, don’t worry, I’ll get that you just rest.

Hello, may I help you?

Hi, I, I’m so sorry to bother you, but I’m, you know what? I don’t want my cat to come out, so let me come outside with you here in the hallway there. That’s better. How can I help you? Um, I’m trying to find a missing person. So what, you just canvassed the whole neighborhood? No, actually, my sister’s a cop and she scrubbed on this address when she was following up on leads.

So I thought I’d start here first. Huh,

mama. I know it’ll be tough for you, but. You should probably get out so that you can not stay here staring at us in these four walls all day. You know she’s right, Paulina. I know, but sitting here is staring at my sweet mom and my daughter and these four walls. That’s all I’m feeling up to today.

I get that. Okay.

Julie. Hi. Hi. Chanel. Oh, oh, oh, my Miss Olivia. Oh, what, what a beautiful surprise. So good to see you. So good to see you too, Julie. Thank you. Well, I, I, I know I’m interrupting a lovely family gathering, but. Colleena. I wanted you to know we missed you at the park. I know I wanted to be there, but, oh, I understand.

I do understand. So, I brought something back for you from the park, Julie, now come on. You didn’t really have to do any Thank you.

Hey. Oh. Oh. If you didn’t come to the party, we bring the party to you. Oh, so. How was the Juneteenth celebration? Oh my God. It was, it was, uh, amazing. It was so moving and I ran into, uh, to Theo before, and he was so nervous, uh, to give Abe speech, but as soon as he got up there, his, his whole energy changed.

His Brilliant. And he was channeling his father. Exactly. Yeah. It was just, it’s just really nice to have something to celebrate this week. Yes. Julie reminded me that this was a anniversary of Abigail’s death. Yeah. Yeah. I decided not to mention to the kids, but like I said to Julie, you know, I, I’m, I’m pretty sure they knew.

Well. Children always understand more than you think they do. That’s exactly what Julie said. And though your precious kids have lived through a terrible loss, they still are spirited and altogether delightful. And Chad. That is a credit to you.

You know what? Before I forget, Lonnie asked me to give you one of these. We love you, Pauline. Excuse me? Can I get one of those? Oh, now you know I’m gonna give you a kiss. Big mama.

I missed you. It’s good to see you. It’s good to see you, and it’s good to see you too, sister in-law. Hang right back at your brother-in-law, Eli. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Thank all of you. Hey, where else will we be? Think mommy, you know, maybe you are right. Maybe I did need my family and my friends around me.

Maybe. Of course I was right.

Is there room for one more? Oh.

Oh, well, the commissioner came to question me because I was on duty at University Hospital on the day that, uh, uh, mayor Carver disappeared. Apparently, I was one of the last people to see him before he went missing. Oh, oh, really? Did you notice anything suspicious at all? No, no. As I told Commissioner Hernandez, I saw nothing.

It’s so wonderful. Haven’t you all here? I just only wish that Abe was here to see all the people that he loves coming together like this. Well, maybe he can’t see us, but I believe we can make him feel us. No, I do. Let’s all gather around. Oh goodness.

Abraham Carver, we know you’re out there. I want you to know we love you. We miss you. So much, oh, do we ever? And my precious, precious husband is me, Paulina, your wife. And I want you to know no matter where you are, I feel your love and send you mine. And may you never, never leave my heart.

With this ring, I,

I gotta say I am feeling pretty good about this hand. I’m glad to hear it. I know you got a lot better things to do than just babysitting me. Yeah, I was gonna say the same to you. Well, I don’t, and I, Chad, I can’t think of one thing I’d rather be doing than just hanging in with you. They don’t, in that case.

Jen

man, foiled again, I’m gonna beat you one of these days. We’ll see you about that. Yeah. I may, uh, manage you to be the ripe old age 125, but I’ll beat you. I’ll do my dinges. Okay, well one more unto the breach. It was great. Great to see Eli again. Wow. And it lifted Julie’s spirits. Yeah. I’m sure it’ll lift Paulina’s spirits too.

You know, wherever Abe is, I hope he can feel all the love his family is sending his way.

You know, it’s been way too long since you sent me pics of my, my grand babies. Paulina, I just sent you pics yesterday. Well, what about today? All right, everyone. Now Miss Olivia and I as the two matriarchs of this family, wanna propose a toast? We do. Of course we do. Now, we all know today is a mixed bag.

It’s Juneteenth great celebration, also a great celebration for a very important anniversary. But we are all missing Abraham, something fierce. Fear. You know, I’ve known Abraham Carver longer than anybody else in his room.

And I know that he would want us to go forward with a celebration and he’d be so proud and honored of the speech you gave in your father’s name today, and all of the town turned out to give their support. Today. Can, can I say something? Oh, please. I wanna make a toast to all of you for being here to love, support, and celebrate my brilliant, powerful mother on her anniversary.

Oh, her love and faith are what’s gonna bring Abe home. Happy anniversary, mom. Yeah,

happy anniversary.

And this time next year, we are all gonna be meeting together in this room with Abraham to celebrate your second wedding anniversary. Amen. Abraham, wherever you are,

we know that you’re thinking of us just as we are thinking of you

Rain. Ivy, we with this Ring Ivy, we.

Sorry about that darling. Sorry, it took so long. I was a door-to-door salesperson. I thought I’d never get rid of her. Hey, what’s the matter? You look like you’ve seen a ghost. You’re not my wife.
