THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, hi. What a nice surprise. Well, I know that your schedule is really, really jammed today, but I just wanted to see if you needed anything, like if you’re hungry or something, you know, I can go get you some takeout. Very sweet of you, but Ashley, I’m, I’m just about to leave. Really? No more appointments.

Well, um, no, uh, actually my last patient just left and guess he had a, a business meeting he had to get to. Hmm. Pretty important one. Sound like.

And your flight was okay? Yes, yes, it was fine. It was long. Victor is in with, uh, VO now. Any change in his condition? Not yet. I’m sorry to hear that auntie, but rest assured I have everything under control here. You’re meeting with Yuri Kaison off tonight, right? Yes, I am at the BRE waiting for him as we speak, and by the time the check gets delivered, he and his tech company will officially be in business with Titan.

Alex, remember what I said before I left. The deal is all laid out. You don’t have to do anything except close it. Get Yuri to sign the dotted line. That is my one and only job tonight. I even recruited somebody to help keep me focused on getting it done.

How’d it go with the Coast Guard? They found a small motor book. We suspected someone can’t used to escape from Megan’s compound. It was washed up near a small island, mostly rocks, uninhabited. Okay, so what about Kate? Well, they searched everywhere within a hundred mile radius using the most advanced technology, and unfortunately, there were no signs of life.

What does that mean? The Coast Guard says they don’t think Kate could have survived.

Oh, well it’s enough time. Where’s my dinner? The captain wants to see you. Why no questions.

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

Well, I don’t, I don’t care what the Coast Guard says. We’re not gonna give up, right? We’re not giving, no, we’re not giving up. Chad. We promised Roman we would find his wife and that’s exactly what we’re gonna do. There was no report of a body found. So as far as I’m concerned, Kate is out there alive. All right.

That’s what’s our next move? Well, we’re thinking, uh, Kate could have been picked up by a passing ship. So now that we have the location of her boat, we can check that against the sea lanes in the area and we’ll try to figure out who picked her up. Makes sense. Except if Kate did board a ship, wouldn’t you have tried to reach out to us?

Okay. What do you want with me, Kyle, please call me Dimitri Vanner Powell Graham was just the alias. I used to, uh, fool Your clueless daughter. Oh, clueless. Really clueless enough to take you down. So what about the ransom? Did you call my husband? Not yet. Well, why the hell did you summon me then? Ah, you’ve been working so hard.

I thought you could use a break. Okay. Please don’t ask to tango with me. Oh, no, no, no. You’ve made it perfectly clear that you’re not interested in being my dance partner, so I thought instead I would invite you to join me for a late supper. That is a really lovely invitation, but you can shove it up your ass.

Thank you for coming. Of course. How are you feeling? Nervous. I just got off the phone with Auntie Mag and I played it. Cool. But yeah, Steph, I don’t know. You’ll be fine. We’ve gone over everything. You’re totally prepared. Yeah. I’ve just never closed the deal this big before, and Maggie made it very clear to me that this is my last chance to prove myself to her and that I belong at Titan.

I can’t mess this up. Well, that’s why I’m here. Keep you on track. Hey, look at me. You got this.

Hi. Okay, look, I got a job, bro. All right. I’ll ping you later. Okay. Bye. Hey. Hi. Hey, Alex. K? Yes I am. You must be, Mr. Ksn. Good to meet you, but please do call me Yuri. You got it. Huri, this is Stephanie Johnson, head of our public relations team. Very nice to meet you. Same. Um, I wasn’t aware that you were coming.

Uh, is there an image problem that I’m not aware of? No. No, not at all. Please sit down. This is just a very important deal for us and we want to make sure that we have all hands on deck. Okay. So where’s Max? Max, yeah. Oh, auntie Mag. Yeah. You didn’t get my email. There was just a family emergency. Didn’t must have gone to my spam.

Um, maybe we should reschedule. No, not necessary at all. I’m completely up to speed. With all due respect, I’m used to dealing only with the top dog, of course. And since you and Mags did agree on the terms of the contract, she felt that you might be comfortable with me carrying the ball across the goal line, so to speak.

Oh, is that tough? Yes. So here is your deal. Ready to sign when you are. Um, actually, I’d like to speak with you about a few things.

You know, doc, if everything you’ve been through, I still can’t believe you’re back to work already and you’re still taking on new patients. Mm-hmm. Just one nine hour know that’s what you always told me. Just one more, John. But you know what, doc? They all add up. Let me ask you something. How many patients do you think you have treated over the years?

I don’t know. I never thought about it. Oh, looking for you. I have now. You started psychiatry in the seventies, right? Yeah, 76. Yeah. So I got to thinking if you were to take your annual average caseload and then multiply that by the number of years you’ve been at it, that’s like 5,000 patients.

I think you’ve gotta check your math on that. Oh, I did. But whatever the number is, it’s a lot. You know what? That needs to be celebrated and baby, that’s exactly what you and I are gonna do.

So what does one order to commemorate reaching the 5,000 patient Mark? I told you he’s nowhere near this. Be close doc. Come on. No, no, no, no. And I, unlike you have not tried ever to count. It’s okay. Fine. So you haven’t kept up with the math here, but I’m, I’m sure you have kind of reflected back, you know, on when you first started your practice, right?

I have from time to time. Yeah. What stands out the most?

Probably my very first patient. Oh, that would’ve to be Mickey Horton. Yeah. Mickey. Tough case. Lovely man. We developed a, a very dear friendship.

I’m trying to figure out how to threaten that queen without endangering a keep peace. Try the night. Yeah, of course. Right there. You play the game, huh? My father taught me when I was a child. You mind if I sit down? No, go ahead.

You knew around here, kind of didn’t think I’d seen you before. Probably not. I usually work on the third floor. Well, I’ve heard about the third floor. What have you heard? That it’s rough. Everything’s relative. You a nurse? No, I’m a psychiatrist.

I see.

Hey. Doing okay? Of course, of course. I was just, um, Thinking back to when I was first in Salem. Hmm. Sure. Things were a little bit different back then, huh? They were. They were. But you know what makes Salem so special is all the, all the people that live here. It’s what made it so comfortable to develop a practice.

Shall we eat? You know, I was just thinking it’s not too late to maybe go to some place, a little fancier for the celebration. Like maybe the bistro? No, no, no. Not the bistro. Uh, my, my client may be having his business meeting there and I. I don’t wanna show up in throw a m office game.

So, Yuri, what do you want to discuss?

Listen, I’m all about optionality. Okay. The more avenues we have to create Mayan, the greater chance we have to kill it. Right? Right. Yeah, totally. Well, according to this, This expansion plan is kind of weak. What do you mean weak? Okay. I’ll tell you what I mean by weak, weak. It’s, it’s safe, it’s conservative.

Okay. I’m a baller man. I came here to play. It’s go big or go home, right? Do you follow me? I, yeah. I, I follow you. I do follow you, Gary. I do. I, it’s, it’s just that our analysts have done a lot of research and what is outlined in this deal seems like the optimal growth to success for everyone. Let me expand on the deal.

I don’t really care about research. Okay. I care about my gut and what my gut says is we need to be aggressive. It’s fine that you feel that way. It’s just that my Aunt Maggie believes that if we just have a little bit more patience. Ah-huh. Okay. I know what Aunt Maggie believes. All right. But Aunt Maggie seems to be a little bit, how do I say this out of touch?

Can I ask you a question? How old is Aunt Maggie? I’m sorry. How is that relevant? It is very relevant, Stephanie, and I promise you. This is not about women. I love women. I’m into women. I’m into hashtag me too. I’m into all that. But listen, I go fast and Aunt Maggie is not gonna be able to keep up with me.

Ah, I think that’s what you’re wrong. She can definitely keep up with you. Trust me, that woman is super shrewd, which is amazing given how new she is to the business. I’m sorry, new to the business. Um, she’s the ceo. I, I assumed that she had a lot of ex experience. She does, she does. I mean, she ran a lot of successful restaurants.

Oh, what, like, uh, buddies, Pergo Barn. Was she the manager? No, no. Uh, I’m talking about upscale venues. Oh. That totally flourish under her. Excellent. Leadership and, and, and guidance. And she’s got this. Oh, okay. Good. Well, listen, um, I’m glad that you’ve clued me in on this, but um, look, dude, I didn’t realize I was about to make a billion dollar deal with a total newbie,

Maggie, I am so glad you’re here. How are you? Uh, I’m still trying to get my head around all of this. I mean, I know that Beau is alive, but seeing him lying in that bed, yeah, it’s a lot. Yeah. For all of us. For you and Victor especially Hope. Yeah. She said Bo squeezed her hand. Yeah. But unfortunately there’s been no progress since then.

So we’re making plans to move him to a long-term care facility. I heard, I’m hoping he wakes up before it comes to that, but, uh, doesn’t look good. Don’t give up. Paul Roman. Your brother is so strong and I just, I just feel it in my heart that he’s gonna be just fine. So is Kate.

All right. We caught a break. There’s only one sea lane that passes by the island where we found Kate’s boat and only a handful of ships have been in that area. Is there a list? Uh, yeah, I’m gonna pull that up right now. But here in the meantime, take a look at the live radar. Well, that’s strange, isn’t it?

What is that? It’s a cargo ship, but it doesn’t seem to be moving. Yeah. Let’s see. Says it’s been anchored off the coast for several weeks. Is it docked? No. She’s just hanging out there in the water. Okay, let me see if I can pull up some more information here.

Okay, it says the owner of the ship is Dimitri Vonner.

Well, I certainly see where Billy gets spunk. So what are you gonna do, Dimitri? Are you going to poison my food? No. Why would I do that? I need you alive to get what I want and for what, as I said, all in good time. Okay, so you haven’t called for ransom. You won’t share your endgame. Why the hell am I here?

Oh, I figured you’d make some good company and I thought that you might be missing some of the finer things in life, such as.

This 1947 Ruan rust, which will pair quite nicely with the lobster and the Kobe steaks that my personal chef is preparing. Hmm, of course, if you’d prefer your usual grue, in fact,

I’m in. Oh, no, no. Of course. I You can’t have dinner looking like that. Oh, will forgive me. I forgot my gown. I didn’t. You can use my private bathroom to shower and change. Okay. Look, if you think that I’m going to put out, oh, no, no, no. I’m well aware that your days and. Knights as an escort are longa? No, it’s just that I would prefer personally that my dining companion smell a fit less fishy.

Dimitri Von Leischner. You’re kidding me. Oh, you know this guy? Yeah. I met him a few years ago in Phoenix. It’s like a James Bond villa, and he’s, uh, tried to steal the Almanian peacock. The what? The what? It’s a, a statue that could vaporize an entire city. It’s. It’s kind of hard to explain, but Kate’s daughter, Billy was instrumental in taking him down.

So what if he found, Kate realized who she was and then took her hostage to get back at the woman that screwed him over? Well, that would explain why Kate hasn’t reached out to anybody. Hey, hey. Wait a minute. Isn’t de Maitre locked up in Supermax? I guess we better find out.

You know, Dr. William had an incredible career. Just think about all the people you’ve helped, all the lives you’ve touched all 5,000 of them. You keep saying 5,000. It’s not that many. Oh, no, no. What about all the listeners that called into your radio show? Think about that. No, no, no. I’m so sorry. Still doesn’t amount to 5,000.

All right? All right. So maybe the numbers don’t work out like that. But the point is, you have literally talked people off the ledge.

I wanna know what happened. Matt, what pushed you this far suck. Steph, you wouldn’t even know about. I can’t know unless you tell me. You don’t even wanna know. You don’t really care. I do care. If I didn’t care, believe me, I wouldn’t be here.

I’m gonna fall. No, Matt, you’re okay. You don’t look down. Look up. Breathe. Breathe. Breathe. Look up. I can. You can. You can look up. Look at me. Look at me. Look at me. Okay. Okay. Keep breathing. You wanna help you? You can do this. Yeah. Look at me. Look at me.

Don’t at me. Okay. Okay. And take that hand. Take it. Let a boy, let a.

I promise you that I,

I got,

I got, come on, man. Come.

See how you almost died helping that kid. You know what? Given the chance I would, I would do it again. I would risk it. I know you would. I guess that’s easy to say now that we both survived. Yeah. May be easy to save, but the fact is, You’ve always put your patient first regardless, because that’s, it’s just who you are.

Alex didn’t mean to give you the impression that Maggie isn’t qualified. Not only is she extremely capable, savvy, and smart, she is highly respected among her peers and her peers would be what? The cast of the Golden Girls dude. I mean, this is not a brand for me. I need a CEO who, who’s immersed and who’s in it.

You know what, you’re right, Yuri, right? Maybe Maggie isn’t completely in touch, but don’t get me wrong, what she outlined in this deal is rock solid. But yes, it is possible that given her demo, maybe she. Doesn’t have a full appreciation for the tech space and your goals within it, but I do. You’re a Yuri freaking chasnoff.

Mm-hmm. You want to come out swinging. You want to revolutionize and inspire and disrupt. Exactly. Then let’s do it. We can get there easily waiting for, easily all we gotta do, sign that contract and then we’ll tweak a few things. Alex, I don’t know about that. I think, I think we should stick to the original terms.

I think you should listen to your friend. Listen. You totally get it, bro. But now we need to change it up a little bit. But first I need an energy boost. Perfect. I’ll grab another round. No, no. I need something a little bit stronger. Where’s the bathroom? Right back there. I’ll be back.

What the hell are you doing?

I thought you could use this. Ah, yes, thanks. Are you getting any sleep at all? Not much. I’m trying to spend as much time here with Beau as I can, and uh, I also want to help with a search for Kate. Of course, but Roman, now that Steve is on the case, you know, it’s just a matter of time before she’s fell.

Yeah, he and Chad been going nonstop along with Harris. Michaels nice, isn’t he? The man who is brainwashed by Megan Hathaway. Yeah, but Chad and Andrew are convinced he is fully deprogrammed. Steve’s not so sure and neither am I, but at this point, we need all the help we can get. Well, thanks man. Andrew’s not picking up.

Well, I just talked to Frankie last, he heard his cousin Dimitri was still behind bars. Well, that’s, uh, what Dimitri wants you to believe, but it’s not true. What are you talking about? I just spoke to Sebastian Allen, man. He had a guard check on Dimitri, and guess what? The guy cooling his heels in prison is an imposter.

He escaped. How long ago? Well, uh, faint Dimitri’s not talking, which means the real Dimitri could be on that cargo ship and he could be holding Kate hostage.

Better, Kate, you look stunning.

Shall we die?

I still can’t get ahold of Andrew. Should we just reach out to the Coast Guard? Maybe they can make contact with the ship. No, no, no. I don’t like the idea of giving Dimitri a heads up. It’s better than taken by surprise. Yeah, I agree. Let’s surprise him then.

Where was mine? Well, you’re staying here. You’re a civilian. No, not. I’m with Harris on this one. What do you mean? You know, case like a mother to me. I’m not staying here. I also know that you’re an actual father to two young children, Steve. Man, I can handle myself. Got a front row seat to his last scheme.

All right. I, I, I had got a good sense of how he works. Okay. I, maybe I can pick up on some things that you guys don’t, you know, make sure that none of us get hurt and he doesn’t slip away.

He’s got a point.

Well, you certainly clean up nicely. I trust you. Like the dress. Where’s the lobster?

Uh, I knew exactly how you feel, Kate. When I left prison, I inhaled my first meal in about five seconds flat. You know, you never explained. Now you got out of prison. Hmm. Even behind bars. I had plenty of resources. Eventually I traded places with some, sorry, SAP, who agreed to impersonate me. Well, that sounds risky.

Oh no, not at all. In fact, it was surprisingly easy, and now no one even knows I’m gone.

You know, Maggie, what I don’t get. Is if Katie’s still alive, where’s she been all this time, and why in the hell hasn’t she contacted anyone? I mean, that’s not a good sign, is it? Oh Roman, your Kate has faced so many obstacles in her lifetime and she’s overcome every last one of them, and this, this time is no different.

Well, I appreciate you saying that. You know what, Maggie? You’re pretty tough yourself. Matter of fact, I hear you kicking butt at Titan. Mm. I don’t know about that, but I’m enjoying the challenge. Well, it had to be kind of tricky, just dropping everything and flying over here with Victor. Oh, he tried to talk me into staying behind.

Uh, he went on and on about the importance of my presence in the office. But there was no way, so I had to leave Alex in charge while I was gone. I hopes that was a mistake. Maggie told you to stick to the original agreement. I know that, but I had to do something. He was gonna walk out of the deal because you were undermining Maggie.

I misspoke. It was an accident. I’m trying to make up for it. But you’re not authorized to change the terms. I know that. But all that matters right now is that obnoxious jerk signs with Titan, and I’m gonna get it done. You asked me to help you stay on course, and right now you are drifting way out into unchartered waters and you need to turn around now.

Then we’re gonna lose him. Whoa, we won’t. This is a great deal. Remind Yuri how excited he was about it. He’s not excited right now. He’s ready to walk. He’s just getting cold. Feet. Feet. You need to reassure him. Sell him on Maggie’s vision. Believe in it. Be confident in it because the truth is, Yuri would be damn lucky to be in business with Titan.

So stand firm and do not give in. Okay.

You know, dog helping that kid off ledge. It wasn’t the only time your job became hazardous to health. You remember Roger lumbar? Hmm. So the drunk driver that hit Kimberly. Yeah, I know. Yeah. And yet he was not the most dangerous member of that family. No. Hell no. That was Stella. And she was convinced that you were having an affair with her husband and she proved her elegance and sophistication by throwing me in a pit.

Yeah. And in my attempt to rescue you, I fell right into that pit with you. You did. But you know what? Just that time of being in danger. And being together in it, that, that rekindled our love. That was, I was really busy being in control, you know, just determined to stay in control and be perfect and, and I guess I let everybody down, didn’t I?

And Doc, you never let anybody down before. Said maybe yourself. Got that. You’re always there for people. The care you give to your kids, to Wilma, your patience, you make a difference. You change people lives. You, well, not always for the better, I don’t think. Oh yeah. Who’s your source? Who you been talking to?

Huh? You talked to anybody whose life you’ve changed lately. Why don’t you talk to me? I talked from facts changed my life, doc. Sir. Made me hole again. Made me hole again, doc.

Remember what I was like when I came into. What did she do? Who was I? Huh? Who was I? When was I? I was out there. You talk about being in the dark. How long was I out there? What’d you do? You just kinda reached out. You just kept reaching, didn’t you? Until you pulled me right in.

It’s true dog. I would still be in the dark if it weren’t for you. And I thank God every day I met you.

You know the success you’ve had over the years, especially with patients that everyone else thought was a lost cause. You stuck with them. You never gave up. I’m telling you, doc, you were a real miracle worker. I wouldn’t say that. What? What? What are you talking about? You rehabilitated a serial killer.

Thanks to you, Ben Weston overcame his demons, became a real standup guy. Well, he did all the hard work. I’m just so proud of the man he has become. So lost, overwhelmed.

Then that’s where I found Sarah after she crashed her bike. That is when my life began again.

I still can’t believe how lucky I am. Really, it wasn’t luck. Ben, you have worked very hard to prove that you deserved a second chance.

That chance wouldn’t even be possible without you. Dr. Evans, your guidance, your support, that is what made me into the man I am today. Have a job, have a wife, have a baby.

I owe everything to you. And I don’t know if I’m ever gonna be able to repay you.

Oh, I heard from Ben. He is over the moon. To be becoming a father again. Nice. And you know what, sweetheart, there’s no question about it. You deserve a little bit of credit for that happiness you gave that young man a whole new life.

Sorry, I had to clear my head. Oh, no problem at all. My man. See that? Sure. You know, while you were gone? Yeah. I was taking another look at this original contract. Yeah. I gotta say, terms are pretty awesome. I think we gotta stick with it. I’m sorry. I don’t know. Madden, you got me pretty pumped up for something a little more in your face.

Yeah, but that’s not always the best approach. Yuri, you know better than anybody. You start too hot, you flame out. I think if we take Maggie’s approach and have a little bit more patience, it’s gonna pay off big time in the long run. I promise you. I’m talking about like sustained substantial profitability for the long term.

You know what, I’m gonna go back to the sailor man. I’m gonna have a nice sleep tonight. Nah, I think we need to close it up tonight. My guy. Let’s lock it in, you know, celebrate at the party. Rolling. Hey, you do, I know you. You don’t wanna kill a vibe. No. Uhuh. Uhuh. I dig you Alex. K. But. You made me realize something very important.

I don’t have enough information on Mag. I can’t make this decision yet. Okay. I just can’t make it yet. Woo. Thanks for the drink. You know, Yuri, I, I think we, where you going? Yuri? Yuri. Yuri. Hey.

Well, maybe now that you’re in a more talkative mood, you’ll explain to me. While you haven’t made a ransom request, I, I don’t think you’re keeping me around just for my company, Kate, as I have mentioned, there are still many factors at play. Like what? Well, for starters, if I were to just ask for a large sum of money, what could, would it do me?

Everyone would know that I’d escaped prison and they would send me right back. So you’re looking for immunity. It’s a bit more complicated than that.

We good? Good. Let’s do it.

Okay. We just split up. Chad, you stick with me. What? No, I, I already told you I can handle myself. I can, and we’ll cover more ground separately. Okay. Text, if you find any Santa.

I can’t believe this. I can’t, I cannot believe this. Damn it. S Steph, I, I, I blew it. I’m an idiot. Don’t freak out. Yuri didn’t say no. Well, he just walked outta your stuff. What am I gonna do? Now? You get him back to the table and you don’t let him leave until he’s on board. This is a temporary setback, Alex, a blip.

It is completely normal for someone to second guess signing a deal this big. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. So just don’t freak out and take a deep breath. Regroup. This is not over. You’re right. I just have to keep pressing on and convince Yuri that not signing with Titan would be a huge mistake and I will help you.

I promise we will find a way to spend this. You’re a life saver, really. I’ll settle for a deal saver. Well, hopefully tomorrow we get this whole thing wrapped up and Maggie never finds out about this little blip. Mm-hmm.

And there she is. It’s Maggie. Okay. Be cool.

Hey, auntie Mag. Yeah. Yeah. No, uh, everything went great. No, he didn’t sign right now. Um, but like I said, everything went great and I have no doubt that he will be on board tomorrow. Um, no he isn’t. I just spoke to Mr. Kassoff and he decided the Titan is not a good fit. After all, the deal is off. What? No, no, no, no.

That, that, that, that’s insane, auntie. No, I’m, I’m gonna fix this. I’m gonna go to the Salem in right now and I’m gonna talk to him. No, I think you’ve said enough already. Yuri told me that he, he had some doubts about my terms, but you got ’em all excited with a vision that was more in your face, and he doesn’t think that I’m the right person to see it through.

Boy’s dead wrong, auntie, and I’m gonna fix this. I’m sorry, I’m, I’m gonna make it up to you. No, Alex, this is the last straw. Auntie, don’t be angry with me. I’m not angry. I’m just disappointed. You, you told me that I wouldn’t regret trusting you. You promised you wouldn’t let me down. And you did so I’m sorry to say.

That you’re fired

now. That’s a promise inside.

What are we here?

So you don’t want immunity for your crimes? Oh, no, no. I do. Along with something else. And I need everything. And it’s precise place in order for me to achieve my goal. Please don’t tell me you’re going after that damn peacock again. No. What I’m after is of a much more personal nature. You see what I’m hoping?

I would like to propose a toast. Do you doc? What an incredible career you have had. Continue to have. You provided so much care and comfort to two people in need, and through your hard work and determination, your dignity, your, your style, your grace, the most importantly, if you’re loving heart, you have made an indelible mark in not only this town but the entire world.

So here is to you, Dr. Marlena Evans. You are a true legend. Cheers.

What a lovely celebration. Hmm. Perfect. In fact, well, there’s nothing I enjoy more than celebrating my extraordinary wife. Oh, thank you brother. Hmm.

Then you know what? What? Maybe 5,000 isn’t such a crazy number after all. Hmm. Well, in that case, It’ll.

Daniel: Can we meet?

[ Sighs ]

Sharon: Summer, you’re not leaving already, are you?

Summer: I– I forgot I have something that I really need to take care of.

Sharon: Well, wait, let me get you a cup of coffee first, or a hug.

[ Sighs ]

Ashley: Thanks for the break. I should get back to work.

Tucker: Hold on. Not until you’ve told me why you’ve been distracted this whole time. Don’t tell me you’ve grown inured to my charms.

Ashley: Is that even humanly possible?

Tucker: No.

Ashley: It’s her.

Tucker: Oh, diane?

Ashley: Of course. How did this happen? How is she out on bail and living with us?

Tucker: Karmic payback for something we did in our past life, or this one? Hard to say.

Ashley: You know, I don’t understand. Jack and kyle think she’s so wonderful. They think she’s a saint after everything that she’s done to them and now she’s charged with murder. It doesn’t matter. How does she pull this off?

Tucker: She’s a master manipulator. I’m so sorry you’re so upset about it.

Ashley: How could I not be upset? Jack thinks I’m unreasonable because I have qualms about sharing a home with somebody who’s been accused of murder. She can’t go anywhere because of her ankle monitor. I’m stuck with her. God, then she’s driven this huge wedge between jack and me.

Tucker: How does any judge allow a flight risk like diane out on bail? The woman knows how to disappear.

Ashley: [ Sighs] I wish she’d do it again.

Sally: [ Groans] There, are you satisfied? Can I get back to work now?

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Hello.

Adam: Sally, great news. Mccall is officially all mine.

Sally: Congratulations.

Adam: Victor agreed to my terms. No meddling. I have complete autonomy, which includes all staffing decisions.

Sally: Well, I still haven’t had a chance to–

Adam: Yeah, I know that you wanted some time to think it over and I’m not trying to pressure you. But I have been digging into the mess that tucker made and I am eager to get my team in place. There’s so much to do and I think that you’re gonna be as excited by the challenge as I am.

Sally: Well, I have to talk to chloe before I can get back to you about the offer.

Adam: This could be a real opportunity for us to turn a total failure into a major success.

Sally: Okay. I will let you know.

Nick: Sounds like good news. Let me guess, jill loved your pitch and is ready to offer you a lucrative contract.

Sally: Not quite. I need to talk to you about something.

Nick: Okay.

Sally: But I need you to promise me to hear me out and not rush to judgment.

Nick: What’s going on? She’s feeling the power of listerine.

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Tucker: I realize that having diane under the same roof is a nightmare for you, but let’s not forget that you also invited me into your home.

Ashley: I know, I’m partially to blame for the tension.

Tucker: No, no, no, no, no.

Ashley: I get it.

Tucker: No, what I’m saying is while I’m there, it will be my mission to distract you with more, uh, pleasurable thoughts.

Ashley: Oh. Well, I like that. It’s not good for me to be so angry all the time.

Tucker: No, it isn’T. And if it’s any consolation, I’m gonna do my best to make sure that diane’s stay is as unpleasant for her as possible.

Ashley: Okay.

Adam: Ashley.

[ Ashley groans ]

Adam: How are you?

Ashley: Good.

Adam: Tucker. Enjoying early retirement? It must be nice to be out from under the burden of a failing empire.

Tucker: Well, adam, as the buddha said, sitting under the bodhi tree, “why don’t you kiss my ass?”

[ Ashley laughs, coughs ]

Adam: Well, in case you haven’t heard, mccall unlimited is mine. I’m now in charge of trying to salvage your failed company.

Tucker: I did hear that. I– I heard that victor intended to hand it over to you, as a bailout for your failures at jabot and newman.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Uh, actually, victor knew that I wanted a challenge. It’s kind of hard to know what to tackle first. I mean, the mismanaged books and the exodus of any talented staff you once had, or just the terrible mccall name. I mean, can I ask you a serious question? How did you let things get so bad?

Ashley: I think he was busy becoming a better person, adam, and got a little distracted. Didn’t notice that incompetence had kind of run into the ground.

Adam: Mm. Well, self-improvement can be a burden.

Ashley: How would you know?

Adam: Uh, luckily, I understand the value of a work-life balance. Although that– that’s gonna be put to the test trying to make this company better.

Ashley: Ooh, that’s hilarious. You should be so grateful that you are allowed to run anything bigger than a lemonade stand.

Adam: Oh, it’s gonna be fun–

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Adam: — Turning this into a major success, something much bigger than you could’ve ever imagined.

Tucker: I hope it flourishes. Uh, but, uh, I’ve let go of any attachment to it.

Adam: Right. You’ve reached enlightenment.

[ Ashley sucking on straw ] Was that before or after my father paid the, uh, inflated price for your broken company?

Ashley: [ Sighs ] Bye, adam.

Adam: Have a nice lunch.

Ashley: [ Whispers ] How did you not just punch him in the face?

Tucker: It’s just mesmerizing watching you come to my defense like that. I don’t know if I’m– if I’m just moved or a little bit turned on right now.

Ashley: Really?

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: I’m frustrated that the adams and the dianes of the world are actually failing upwards.

Tucker: Right here.

Ashley: What are you doing?

Tucker: You can say whatever you want. I’m starting to believe that you actually care for me.

Ashley: Um…

Sharon: It’s good to see you out and about. Nick said that you’ve been spending a lot of your time alone and you haven’t replied to his texts or calls. He’s worried about you.

Summer: Uh, yeah, I’ve just been trying to conserve my energy for harrison. Trying to keep things as normal as possible for him, which is a challenge.

Sharon: I get wanting to conserve your energy right now. But that doesn’t mean you have to go through this alone. You know, there are plenty of people who love you and understand what you’re going through. The grief, the shock, the pain, the anger, whatever it is that you’re feeling, it’s perfectly normal under these circumstances. Just know there is a community of people here for you every step of the way.

Summer: Yeah. To be honest, sharon, I mean, all the support, it’s actually just making me feel like I need to take care of other people’s feelings about my well-being. And it’s just easier to be alone. So, thank you for the hug and for the coffee. I promise I will answer my dad.

Daniel: Excuse me. Um, sorry, I need to talk to my sister, please?

Sally: Uh, I was hoping to have some more time to think this through, but now it seems I have to make a decision sooner than I thought.

Nick: Well, I’m ready to be a sounding board.

Sally: So, chloe and I got some not-great news. Jill does not want to lock us into a contract. Maybe down the road, but not right now.

Nick: Really? That is surprising. I thought you had a killer pitch and you guys were gonna close that deal today.

Sally: Yeah, I mean, I thought it was gonna happen, too, but jill delivered the bad news before we even had a chance to present our newest plans.

Nick: Okay. Uh, good news delayed.

Sally: Yeah. I mean, it could still happen, but that would mean hoping for a maybe as opposed to betting on a sure thing.

Nick: You can’t knock a sure thing.

Sally: Right. Which is exactly why I’m giving this serious consideration.

Nick: Does this mean you’re ready to take me up on my proposal to invest in your business? Because, sally, I would love to partner with you on this.

Sally: [ Laughs softly ] Um, it’s actually about another opportunity.

Nick: Why are you being cagey?

Sally: Because it would mean working at mccall. For adam.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis

Nick: Are you actually considering taking the job?

Sally: Well, I have to make a living, so… yeah.

Nick: But my offer to help you set up your own business was met with a resounding no. But you’re willing to go and work with adam at this company my father bought for him? In what capacity?

Sally: I don’t know, adam didn’t go into details. And like I said, I don’t even know how I feel about it. I thought I was gonna have more time to think this through, but that was adam on the phone and he’s eager to get his team in place.

Nick: Yeah, this is clearly his way to insinuate himself back into your life. He saw an opportunity and boom, there you go. I mean, he will do whatever it takes to stay close to you.

Sally: Right. Because it couldn’t possibly be about my skill set you know, I did a pretty great job as C.O.O. And C.E.O. Of newman. So, maybe adam recognizes that?

Nick: That’s why i wanted to invest in you. That’s why I fought so hard for you to stay at newman. Why I went to bat to get you that second meeting with jill, because I believe in your talent. That’s why I advocate for you every day.

Sally: Right. Unless it involves working with adam.

Nick: Look, he just– he always has an agenda. He and my father are alike in that way. You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think my father’s gonna have a hand in everything that goes on there.

Sally: He’s giving adam carte blanche to run it the way that he wants.

Nick: Is that what he told you? Sally, he bought that company so he could get adam back under control. I’m telling you, you’re walking into a minefield. This is my dad and adam trying to exert control over you, and you and your baby don’t need that.

Ashley: Oh, well, hello. Are you gonna try to kick me out of the office, too?

Jack: No, I just came to pick up some work to take home.

Ashley: Of course, because the woman who’s in lockdown must be kept company at all costs.

Jack: Ash, I am too tired to do this with you. Could we just put a pin in this fight over diane and talk to each other? You’re my sister. I care a great deal about you and I– I– I miss you.

Ashley: Okay. Okay. I have a couple of minutes, sure.

Jack: Okay.

Ashley: So, what did you want to discuss?

Jack: I want to talk about us, about this. This tension, I hate it.

Ashley: I don’t like it very much either, jack.

Jack: Look, I know diane is not your favorite person, but are you really this bitter and angry?

Ashley: I am, unfortunately.

Jack: I don’t buy that.

Ashley: Well, do you want to tell me how I’m feeling?

Jack: I think you’re using me and diane as a punching bag to avoid some realities in your own life.

Ashley: Okay. So, what am I avoiding exactly?

Jack: The possibility that you are not as tough and in control of your life as you pretend to be. I think these attacks are defensive. I think it’s about self-preservation. I think you’re trying to avoid feelings that you have for tucker that you know you shouldn’t have.

[ Diane breathing deeply ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Tucker: Hi.

[ Diane sighs ] You must miss the jailyard, huh? You want to lift some weights or should we have a knife fight?

[ Diane scoffs ]

Diane: You know what I love most about this house? How spacious it is. Don’t you have somewhere else you could be?

Tucker: I gotta give you credit. You’re back to the old diane, you know? Tenacious nerves of steel. Although, I’m amazed you’re willing to take this chance.

Diane: You know, clearly you’re looking to bother me with this conversation. So, why don’t you go ahead and say what you want to say so I can go back to enjoying some fresh air and sunshine? Hmm? Hey, go ahead. You got my attention.

Daniel: How can you accept all of sharon’s sympathy and kindness? It’s like every second you stood there, it was like another lie.

Summer: Oh, my– why are you being like this?

Daniel: Like what?

Summer: So self-righteous. I hate this as much as you do. Probably even more. But you– you seem to think that there’s one clear answer: Save diane.

Daniel: And you want to send your husband’s mother to prison for a crime she didn’t commit. How is that the solution?

Summer: Oh– that’s not what I want. And I think you know that. But you weren’t there when mom came to me. You didn’t hear directly from her the hell that she’s been going through.

Daniel: That’s one of her own creation.

[ Summer scoffs ]

Summer: That right there. That judgment. Mom was completely terrified and she didn’t come to you ’cause she knew that you wouldn’t look out for her. And I really thought that she was wrong, but clearly, I made a mistake in telling you. I should’ve listened to mom.

Daniel: Don’t you– don’t you dare tell me that I don’t care about what happens to our mother. You know she called me, too? Trelegy for copd.

Daniel: I got a mysterious phone call last night. The person on the other end didn’t speak. But I– I couldn’t shake the feeling that it was mom trying to reach out to me.

Summer: You’re sure that it was her?

Daniel: No, summer. That is the whole point. I mean, it could’ve been a wrong number. It could’ve been a total stranger that I– I’m talking to like it– it’s our dead mother. Or it could’ve been someone we know who’s wondering why I’m talking to our dead mother. I mean, don’t you see that this is driving us both crazy?

Summer: Look, I told you that I just need time. I’m trying to figure this out. I’m trying to learn all the evidence that they have in stark’s murder. And I’m researching what the burden of proof would be for self-defense.

Daniel: Are you gonna get a law degree? Are you gonna become a homicide detective?

Summer: Daniel, I’m struggling here. I’m trying to help our mom and I’m scared for her. God.

Daniel: Listen, the longer we wait, the worse this is gonna be for her and for everyone else. I mean, don’t you see what this is doing to us?

Summer: I hate it, too.

Daniel: [ Scoffs ] You know, meanwhile, I’m wondering if she’s halfway around the world somewhere, living a new life, while she’s reveling in the fact that diane’s being convicted for a murder that she didn’t commit.

Summer: No, mom’s focus is on getting back to us. But she can’t do that if you blow this open. And if you tell kyle and he realizes that I knew, you’re gonna blow up my marriage, too. How can you not see that?

Jack: I think you have real feelings for tucker. I think he has reawakened the flame that the two of you shared together and that makes you feel vulnerable and I know that’s terrifying for you.

Ashley oh, don’t stop. I love that you’re an expert on my feelings. Please keep going.

Jack: I know you longer than anyone on this earth, ashley. Think about this. Every time you told me to stay away from diane, to not get involved again, you used yourself as an example. You were better than I was because you knew not to get involved with tucker. And here we are, he’s now invited into our home.

Ashley: And you did the same thing with diane, jack.

Jack: Diane and I are getting married! This game you’re playing and tucker lives under our roof and stays in a guest room, that’s so you can control him. You keep him at a distance, but you can still influence things.

Ashley: Okay. You know what? I don’t have to listen to this–

Jack: No, wait, listen to me.

Ashley: What?

Jack: Listen, I know what you’re feeling because I felt it myself when I was falling back in love with diane. I didn’t want to get hurt. I didn’t want to trust that the change I saw in her was real. I know what’s happening to you because it happened to me.

Ashley: Okay. If you understand that, then why is it okay for you but not for me?

Jack: Because tucker hasn’t changed. He is the same manipulative operator he has always been.

Ashley: Okay, but diane, who’s actually charged with killing another human being is a brand new woman. Just look at yourself. You’re exhausted. All you do is deal with diane and her issues. She’s turned you into somebody I don’t even know anymore, jack. But you’re making better choices than me. You can take your psych 101 crap and shove it.

Jack: Hey, wait. Your armor’s already up again. You can’t even be vulnerable with me. The way you’re acting, you could never trust tucker, or anybody else for that matter. And you know what? That gives me an advantage over you. I have something you don’t– the ability to open my heart. To let someone in, to trust. Don’t pity me too much. Save some for yourself.

[ Door slamming ]

Tucker: Okay, truth time. Uh, no offense, but I don’t think you have it in you to have killed phyllis.

Diane: Gee, thanks. None taken.

Tucker: But here’s the reality. There’s plenty of proof to convict you. And your past is going to enter that courtroom for sure. Your fake death, the way deacon sharpe helped you frame everyone in town. Everyone you’ve ever crossed is gonna hate you all over again, which is gonna make the proof look even worse.

Diane: Thanks for trying to cheer me up, tucker.

Tucker: I’m trying to help you. This trial will force jack and kyle to live through everything you did to them, all over again. And this time you can add summer and harrison as collateral damage. And how long before this destroys kyle and summer’s marriage? Do you want to be responsible for that? Poor jack. He is going to be crushed when you’re facing life in prison.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] This is the worst pep talk ever.

Tucker: You don’t need a cheerleader, diane. You need a way out of here. I can give you that.

Sally: This baby is exactly who I’m thinking about. She is the only reason why I’m considering adam’s offer. And like I said, I don’t even know what I’m gonna do, but I have a child to support.

Nick: Your baby will be very well taken care of as a newman.

Sally: This baby is a spectra, and making sure that she’s provided for is my sole purpose now. And I’m not just talking about some job. I need to assure that I have a career. That is important to me. It is a part of my identity and I want to be a strong role model for my daughter.

Nick: You will be. Sally, you are, you don’t need a job from adam to prove that.

Sally: Adam and I worked well together. And I am perfectly capable of being able to separate the professional from the personal.

Nick: Well, you may be, but adam isn’T.

Sally: I need something career-wise, and maybe this isn’t it, but maybe it is. I just need the sense of purpose that comes from having a profession. I have had one failure after another and I don’t know, maybe this is the chance for me to get back in the game.

Nick: And that is exactly what adam wants you to think. Sally, you may not want to hear this, but I’m gonna say it anyway. If you go and work for adam, it’ll be one of the biggest mistakes of your life. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

“The young and the restless” will continue. (Buzz) are you guys telling secrets?

Sally: I didn’t ask for your opinion, nick. In fact, I asked you not to rush to judgment.

Nick: I’m not rushing into anything, all right? I speak from years of experience.

Sally: Okay. Well, then maybe I should’ve also added, please don’t insult me by assuming that I can’t read the situation without your insights into how the newman mind works. I’m becoming an expert and it’s not as complicated as you all might think. It’s all about ego and power.

Nick: Do not lump me in with adam and dad. Look, I’m telling you, if you go and work for adam, he’s gonna chip away at every boundary you set until you have nothing.

Sally: I’m not naive to adam’s motivations. Please give me some credit. Look, I have somewhere to be.

Nick: Please don’t go.

Sally: We will talk about this later.

[ Sighing ]

Chance: Everything good?

Daniel: Obviously not, given the circumstances.

Chance: You know, I’ve seen a lot of families pull together after a traumatic loss like this. But I have also seen a lot fall apart. And I really hope that you and summer can find some way to lean on each other.

Daniel: That’s a struggle. Um, so, diane’s out on bail. You know when her trial’s gonna be? It looks like there’s a lot of evidence against her and– think she’ll be convicted?

Chance: Look, I’ll, uh– I’ll be honest with you, man. I don’t think that diane acted alone.

Daniel: So, there are other people of interest? Are there any leads that you’re following that could exonerate diane?

Chance: Look, I can’t make you any promises, but even if we were to find that accomplice, with the case being so strong against diane, I am very confident that there will be justice for your mother’s murder.

Tucker: You know how to disappear. You’ve done it before. I can give you anything you want. Money, I.D., Anything stark did to set you up with a new life, I can do. Only with no strings attached.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] You’d like that, wouldn’t you? Or should I say ashley would like that? And then she might invite you into her bed instead of relegating you to the guest room.

[ Chuckles ]

Tucker: I’m talking about what you want, diane.

[ Diane sighing ] I know how much you care about jack and kyle. You worked so hard to redeem yourself with them, to rebuild your relationship with them, right?

Diane: That’s right.

Tucker: That’s right. I can relate to that.

[ Laughs softly] I admire it, even. I know what you’ve got to lose here. Can you deny what watching you get convicted will do to jack and kyle, the whole family? You really want to put them through that?

Diane: Thank you for your consideration, tucker. This conversation’s over.

Chloe: What is this important offer I had to rush over to discuss? Please tell me, did jill reconsider and I get to go buy all those desk lamps because we scored our first big fish client?

Sally: Unfortunately, no change of heart from jill.

Chloe: Okay. So, what has changed since we last saw each other?

Sally: I was offered a job.

Chloe: What? Where?

Sally: With adam. But before you say anything–

Chloe: Absolutely not. No, no, you are not going to dump our plans just so he can suck you back into a black hole. No way.

Sally: Okay, that’s basically what nick said. But look, this is not just an offer for me, okay? It’s for both of us. Adam made me a blanket offer: Craft the job you want with the people that you want, and that includes my business partner.

Chloe: How did nick not talk you out of this?

Sally: He tried, but it’s not his decision to make.

Chloe: So, he obviously thinks it’s a bad idea. And I couldn’t agree more.

Sally: So, you hate adam so much that you’re ready to ignore an opportunity like this?

Chloe: Yes.

Sally: But we worked with him before.

Chloe: And it was excruciating.

Sally: Okay, look, I-it’s just an option, okay? I– I haven’t agreed to anything.

Chloe: So, if you are willing to consider a job from adam, then will you revisit nick’s offer to invest?

Sally: You know how I feel about that.

Chloe: How could you choose a business partnership with adam over nick? It just doesn’t make sense.

Sally: Okay, stop, okay? I’m tired of everyone thinking that they know better than me about my own life. So I didn’t think I needed swiffer.

Chloe: You’ve obviously got to do whatever’s best for you. But remember what it was like in the early days, working for adam at newman fashion.

Sally: Yeah, but, I mean, that was a lifetime ago, and things were complicated with chelsea then. I mean, that was a dynamic that was never gonna work. And that was before I proved myself as C.O.O. And C.E.O. Of newman.

Chloe: And that was before you got into a love affair with adam that went horribly awry. And now you’re going to be in a lifetime commitment of co-parenting with him. Do you really want the extra complications of working with him, too?

Sally: I mean, of course, I would love something cleaner. But I have to start dealing with the reality that I need to provide for my daughter.

Chloe: So, you’re just going to abandon our plans because jill decided to put things on hold?

Sally: I’m doing my due diligence of talking to you about a prospect for both of us.

Chloe: Okay. Well, then I’m gonna tell you where I stand. I don’t want to work for adam again. I don’t want my income to be dependent on his moods. And when he realizes that he can’t get in between you and nick, I don’t want to find us out the door again.

Sally: You’re right.

Chloe: And?

Sally: I hate that.

[ Objects clattering ]

[ Groans ]

Chloe: All right. Well, you know what? You are right about one thing. This is your life. You know what’s best for yours and I know what’s best for mine. And that is not working for adam again. So, you can do whatever you want. But if you choose to accept this offer…you’ll be accepting it solo. Just– just take a deep breath. Okay? And just really think about what you want. Freedom or to be tied to adam in every way possible?

[ Door slamming ]

Nick: Hey, what the hell are you thinking?

Adam: Uh, that it’s a beautiful day.

Nick: Didn’t waste any time accepting dad’s offer to run mccall, huh?

Adam: Well, it was too good an offer to pass it up. I mean, what’s the problem? I thought you were all for it. It keeps me away from newman.

Nick: Is, uh, running mccall– does it have anything to do with business, or are you just doing it to get sally back into your life?

Adam: Okay. So, this is about sally?

Nick: She told me about your offer, to lure her to mccall. Whatever she wants, as long as she works for you.

Adam: Look, what is your problem, nicholas? Are you that insecure? Is whatever you have with sally that fragile?

Sharon: Things seemed tense over there.

Chance: Yeah. And he wouldn’t really talk about it. Just kept pressing for more details about the case against diane.

Sharon: Are there any new developments?

Chance: No. Even if there were, I don’t think it would help. I mean, phyllis is still gone. And when the guilty party is your mother-in-law… I can’t imagine how stressed summer is.

Sharon: Yeah.

Chance: I feel for her.

Sharon: I know. That’s why I was hoping having daniel here would be a comfort to her, but… I mean, it’s gotta be hard for her to lean on kyle right now.

Chance: Well, from what I just saw, daniel seems to be adding to the stress, not easing it.

[ Door shutting ]

Jack: Hey, I hope you were able to relax a bit, enjoy some peace and quiet.

Diane: Yeah, well it’s kind of hard to do when everything around here reminds me of what I won’t have when I spend the rest of my life in prison.

Jack: Hey, I thought we were gonna not let the stress get to us?

Diane: I’m sorry. I’m sorry, that was uncalled for. I don’t need to create any more friction around here than I already have.

Jack: Hey, talk to me. What happened? What’s going on?

Diane: Tucker. He offered to help me run so that you and kyle don’t have to watch me get convicted for murder.

Jack: This is your home. You are becoming my wife. How dare–

Diane: No, jack, jack. It’s– it’s okay. I’m not even mad at tucker. He’s just being tucker and he was probably just doing it for ashley. What upsets me is that, you know, for a minute there he was– he was making sense. I could very well be convicted. And it’s horrible and it’s unfair, but it’s the reality. And how can I do that to the people that I love?

Jack: Stop talking like that. This is tucker’s doing, making you think like this.

Diane: You know, to be honest, I’m angry at myself for wanting to run, and even angrier that I just am not strong enough to do it. I mean, at this point, there is nothing I can do that’s not going to cause you more heartache. And I hate that. Jack, I should’ve never, ever come back here if all I was going to do is cause you pain. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have…

Adam: Yes, I offered sally a job. I thought that we were on the same page about what’s doing best for her and the baby.

Nick: Well, working for you isn’t it, adam. She doesn’t need your handout.

Adam: It’s not out of pity. She’s damn good. Okay, she’ll be doing me a favor by joining mccall.

Nick: Oh, come on. That is not what this is about.

Adam: [ Scoffs ] Well, apparently, she has run to you to discuss the offer.

Nick: Yes, because we are in a relationship.

Adam: And what, she cares more about your feelings than she does her own feelings?

Nick: She wanted to know what my opinion is about the two of you working together. I’m guessing I don’t need to tell you what I think of the idea.

Adam: Why she puts any faith in you is beyond me. The two of you aren’t married, you’re not even engaged. What can you even offer her, nicholas?

Nick: You don’t need a ring to provide stability and commitment.

Adam: Your track record as a long-term partner is pretty lousy. And now you’re acting like you’re in this for the long haul.

Nick: It’s not an act.

Adam: Why? Because you like her? Nicholas, once that’s over, then what? Because I can say with complete certainty that I will always be there for sally.I loveer. Can you say the same?

[ Sighing ]

[ Sighing deeply ]

Sally: What are we gonna do?

Jack: Listen to me. I don’t ever want to hear you say you should never have come back here. You are the victim here. Of jeremy stark, of circumstancesbeyond your control. And you are not the cause of my pain or kyle’S.

Diane: But my situation is.

Jack: So we work on fixing your situation. There’s gotta be some way to figure out how stark pulled this off.

Diane: How? How, now that he’s dead?

Jack: Michael is working on it, trying to find proof that he framed you for phyllis’s murder. Look, he’s got people looking at the security camera footage, phone records. We are going to find some answers.

Diane: And whoever killed jeremy might have those answers.

Jack: Absolutely. We’re going to pursue that as well. We will find our way out of this.

Diane: You’re right. I haven’t given up hope. It was just a momentary lapse.

Jack: I promise you. This is far from being over.

Diane: I am not running. I am going to stay here and fight these charges and not because of this ankle monitor. But because of you and kyle.

Jack: Come here.

Diane: Aw. But one thing tucker made me see clearly, I– I have got to find a way to make this less agonizing for summer, because kyle loves her so much. I let jeremy do so much damage to this family and their relationship cannot be part of that.

Daniel: Jack, can we meet? There’s something you need to hear.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I recall you saying you felt you owed me for helping to get chase reinstated, and you were wondering when I was gonna ask you to pay up.

Right, you accused me of being just like my father, only thinking in terms of money and stock market shenanigans.

Yeah, well, relax. I’m not gonna ask you for money or stock. But I have thought of something that you can do for me that will settle the account.

I really do wanna pay you back, okay? But right now just isn’t the right time. With willow’s life literally hanging on by a thread and michael needing our love and support, everyone is distracted. It’s not the right time for me to take on a new project.

Exactly. The family is distracted. It is the perfect time for you to do something without attracting unwanted attention from our nearest and dearest. And lucky for you, I know exactly how you’re gonna do it.

You want me to take your place at the home & heart shopping channel? Go back on the very same show where I had a nervous breakdown on national tv?

Okay, I wouldn’t be asking, but I have this stupid sinus infection. And you’re the only person who could step in at a moment’s notice and tell the world about the wonders of our beauty breakthrough, the deceptor!

What about lucy?

The whole world thought she was dead. And knowing lucy, she would feel the need to explain that she wasn’t really dead, she was being held captive by victor cassadine, she’d make the whole thing about herself, and the product would get lost. No. No, gladys. It has to be sasha. [Sighs] My last appearance was a literal nightmare. I hallucinated liam, which almost cost us the company, not to mention the toll it took on my mental health. Besides, I can’t even imagine that home & heart would want me back on the air. I’m sorry, maxie, but the answer–

sasha gilmore, if you say no– okay, I will forgive you. I will. But there is one person who never will.

Your usual, ms. Wu: The house mocktail with a twist of lime.

Kind of you to remember, my dear. Oh, as for my private party?

Yes, I had instructions to reserve the back room for your nephew’s birthday party.

Excellent. Then everything’s being taken care of.

Well, not everything. I mean, you still need someone who knows his way around a deck of cards.

[Applause]

Thank you. Good to see ya.

Ah!

Hey.

Yes! He’s back.

Good to be back.

Yeah?

Aw. And here I wondered if anyone cared that I was finally back to work.

Oh, here. I care. I especially care, because these, my friend, these are for you. Have at it!

Whoa.

So how’s it feel?

Honestly, it kind of feels like I never left. Wait. Why aren’t you at gh?

Well, I was, but willow’s in isolation now, and honestly, there’s only so many times I can tell michael it’s gonna be okay.

How’s willow doing?

She’s weak, but everyone’s optimistic because drew’s back with obrecht.

The bone marrow transplant’s gonna work. It has to.

I know how much willow means to you, so here’s hoping. In the meantime, I’m gonna distract myself by digging into this case.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Yeah, those.

[Somber music]

[Sighs] Things look pretty bad for your friend cody.

Well, yeah, you know, sometimes things aren’t always what they seem.

Oh, sweetheart, you finally made it home.

[Squeals]

And we have you to thank for that.

Oh, it wasn’t just me. We–it took a whole team to make this happen.

Yeah, it took all of us.

Mom, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for curtis and laura and all the others, but most especially, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for spencer.

[Suspenseful music]

[Dramatic music]

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that the only thing that matters is that trina’s home safely.

Yeah, curtis is right. You’re safe, and so are all the other people that could have been hurt if victor had his way.

Well, the good thing is that uncle victor didn’t get his way.

Amen to that. And now it’s time to focus on the living, starting with my sweet little grandson, who will hopefully be growing up in a much better world. But first and foremost, we need to check him out and make sure that he didn’t suffer any injuries during his captivity or his rescue.

Oh, oh, of course. Let me take you to pediatrics?

Oh, that’s okay, portia. They’re waiting for us.

Okay.

Thanks.

Do you want me to come with you?

Thanks, but I think that me and my grandmother can handle this. I think it’s probably best that you be with your family right now.

Now, despite everything that spencer’s baby brother has gone through, he is far too young to understand anything that’s happening, so I think he’s gonna be fine.

Okay.

But you, on the other hand, I need to make sure that my little baby girl is all right.

I’m fine, really. But there’s one thing that I need.

Anything.

I need to talk to my dad.

[Suspenseful music]

There is someone who won’t forgive me for not going back on home & heart? Are you talking about valentin or some of the other deception investors? I embarrassed them once, and I won’t risk another meltdown on air.

Okay, sasha, if you don’t get back on that horse or bicycle, or whatever metaphor you wanna use, the only person who’s never gonna forgive you is you! The last time you were at home & heart, you were in a really bad place. And I saw you get through that. I know that you are stronger now than you ever have been before. I wouldn’t be asking you to do this if I didn’t fully believe that. Let’s be real. You’re not just another partner in this company. You are the face of deception. And sadly, it is true that some people get a twisted thrill out of watching others fall down. But you know what people love even more? A redemption story. There’s not a woman out there who didn’t feel your pain, and they wanna see that you’ve come back from that. You absolutely cannot say no.

Maybe sasha can’t say no, but I can.

[Dramatic music]

This is yours for the taking.

If that’s supposed to be your calling card, it should be a joker. As for tonight’s poker game, your presence won’t be required.

Since when?

My guests enjoy playing for high stakes, not with known common criminals. Not only were you foolish enough to steal a bracelet at the nurses’ ball, you made it worse by getting caught.

I’m innocent.

Yeah, for your sake, I hope that’s true. Prison can be so confining. Regardless, didn’t you recently tell me you wanted out of the game?

Yes, I did, but, you know, times change, okay? Defense attorneys don’t come cheap. So come on, have a heart. Let me play for my usual cut.

You may dream big, but at the end of the day, you’re just a petty thief. And there’s just no room at the table for that.

Look, I know that cody is your friend, but do you really buy that someone planted a bracelet in his pocket?

Ever since I’ve known him, cody’s found trouble. I mean, he’d tell you that trouble finds him. But when he landed in town last year, I thought maybe he left all that behind. It looks like maybe he’s still working angles whenever he can. However, this friendship with sasha, it seems legit. And why would he steal her mother-in-law’s bracelet? What, hide it in his coat pocket? It’s ridiculous.

Wasn’t cody friends with britt westbourne? Didn’t that involve some jewelry too?

Yes, but sometimes people do the wrong things for the right reasons. I know I get that, and I’m thinking you’re familiar with that concept as well.

Helping chase get his badge back is worth any price, okay? How much do you want to make us even?

I want you to go back to work at deception– the sooner, the better.

What?

[Laughs] You want me to get my old job back?

Why wouldn’t you? You didn’t burn any bridges when you left, did you?

No, of course not. Those women are all my friends, but… I only started working there in the first place to help maxie. I was pretending to be bailey lou’s mother, and the only way that maxie could see her child was when I brought her to daycare at work.

And when maxie got her child back, you stayed at deception, correct?

I did. I liked working there– you know, the people, the products. But that is not what I wanna do with my life, okay? My passion is in music, or do you not remember telling me as a kid not to follow in my dear old dad’s footsteps when he was singing as eddie maine? You know, it’s a good thing I didn’t take your advice, because not only have i reclaimed the rights to my songs, but all these opportunities are opening up for me now, you know, to produce music and–and rep musicians.

Uh-huh. Well, you can write all the songs you want after you do this for me.

What part of “I quit” is unclear to you?

Un-quit. Tell maxie that you, uh– you miss working with her. Make nice to sasha. And, god forbid, flatter lucy coe. Tell her you wanna learn from her.

This doesn’t make any sense. Why do you care if I work at a cosmetics company? What are you really after, huh?

[Suspenseful music]

I want you to be a standout employee. I want you to make yourself indispensable.

I always try and do that.

And while you’re at it, keep your eyes open. I want you to find out what’s happening at research and development.

Research and development?

I don’t wanna know what the next hot thing for summer is. I don’t wanna know what’s gonna sell in the fall. I wanna know what’s down the pipeline.

I don’t get it. [Laughing] You don’t care about elq, and all of a sudden, you’re all into the cosmetics biz?

Let’s just say I’m curious. From time to time, I will check in with you, and you’ll tell me what the next big thing is. You can do that for me, can’t you, after what I did for chase? Does that sound like a fair deal to you?

What it sounds like is corporate espionage. Are you asking me to be your personal spy?

Sure, I made my share of mistakes, but stealing expensive jewelry isn’t one of them.

That’s good.

[Chuckles] It’s also good to have you back where you belong.

Well, I didn’t do it on my own. I had help.

Right. Right, so you and brook lynn–

you know, if you would have asked me before the nurses’ ball, I would have said no way.

Uh-huh. But then she did that thing where she stood up to her dirtbag ex-manager?

Saved me the trouble from smacking the guy again, not that I would have.

No, no. You’d never. Never.

It’s like you said with cody. Sometimes a person does the wrong thing for the right reason.

– You vouch for me, the other players will come around.

What keeps the poker games running smoothly and profitably is avoiding the curious eyes of authorities. And yet you expect me to allow a common jewel thief to sit down at the table? How could I explain that to my guests? How could I retain their trust?

You can tell them the truth.

And what is that?

That I’m not a thief. I was framed.

I’m sorry, maxie, but I can’t let you use my daughter-in-law to sell some newfangled beauty product, not when her mental health is at stake.

Gladys, thank you for standing up for me, but I know that maxie only means well.

Well, maybe if it was a different show or at a different studio, but to go back to the same place where you had your breakdown? I won’t agree to that.

You’re actually kind of proving my point, gladys. It is sasha’s well-being that I’m thinking about, and she needs to face her fears by doing the same show.

Oh, and what if she’s not ready?

Isn’t that for sasha to decide?

Maxie, are you sure there is no one else to make this presentation?

You and I are the only ones that have been following the deceptor since its planning stages. Nobody knows how to sell it like we do. I wish I were up to the challenge, but my sinuses are holding me back. But you’re up for it. I know you are.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe the only way to conquer my fear is to face it.

You asked if it’s up to sasha to decide. Legally, it is up to me, and I won’t let her do it.

[Suspenseful music]

Are you sure that you don’t need to see a doctor or–

no, it’s just cuts and bruises. Really should have seen the other guy.

[Laughs] I wasn’t only afraid for trina. If anything had happened to you…

portia.

I don’t know–

it’s over.

Is it, curtis?

Hi, it’s laura. Listen, we’re all here at the hospital. I think you’d really wanna be here.

I promise you, little brother, this exam is not going to hurt.

Hey.

How’s he doing?

He’s good. I was just telling them that when you used to take me to the doctor… [Laughs] You told me that if I was good, then I would get a lollipop. And I don’t know, I still wish that things were that simple.

Yeah, they’re not that simple because things change, but some things never do.

Okay, so it’s just the two of us. You need to tell me something about this spencer boy?

No, no, no. This isn’t– this isn’t about spencer. This is about you and me. And I wanted to tell you first what I’ve decided because it could impact you more than anyone else.

Okay. So what are you deciding?

I changed my mind. I wanna take the dna test and learn the truth.

[Suspenseful music]

I wanna be absolutely clear. No matter what that test results say, you’re always gonna be my dad.

Like I’d ever let you forget that.

Dad, I’m serious.

Yeah, I know. I know. I just was– just trying to make it easier for you. Um…

[Sighs] But can I ask you why you changed your mind? [Sighs heavily] Because of the last few days and everything I’ve been through. When things were at their worst, I saw how spencer loved his little brother, and it reminded me that there’s nothing more important than family. And that’s when I made the decision that if I made it through, that I wasn’t gonna let secrets come between me and my family ever again.

Like your mom did.

20 years ago, my mom swept things under the rug because she was afraid to face the truth. And one day, in the future, hopefully, I’ll forgive her. But I’m not repeating her mistake. We all need answers, and I’m the only one that can get them.

When you walked through the door, my heart, it just– it skipped a beat because I wasn’t sure…

[Voice breaking] You know, just the thought that I might never see you again.

I’m not gonna lie that there were times when I was out there that I just didn’t think that I was gonna–

excuse me. Curtis ashford?

Who wants to know?

My name is hursley. I’m an agent with the wsb.

I was already debriefed in greenland.

Yes, but not by me. Can I ask you to join me for some additional questions?

[Uneasy music]

Okay, let’s get it over with.

Why plant me back at deception? Oh, don’t tell me you want my employee discount for wrinkle cream?

I don’t have wrinkles. I have character. The only interest I have in cosmetics is lining my pockets with green. You can have all the music you want, but this way, you can also have health insurance. Sounds like a win-win to me.

No, not a chance. I don’t know what you’re actually up to, grandmother, but music is my life. [Cackles] Oh, so you’re telling me that chase has no part in it? Honey, you called me in tears. You begged me to help you because the board was about to deny his request for reinstatement.

Yes, and I have repeatedly expressed my gratitude for your help.

Well, that help, much like that shiny badge, comes at a price, or are you deluded enough to think that that little speech you gave the board single-handedly convinced them to give chase another chance? Ooh, I wonder how chase would react if he knew that he owed his badge not to you, but to me and the very expensive strings I had to pull.

Brook lynn never would have gotten mixed up with linc brown again if she hadn’t been trying to help me get my badge back.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?

Don’t you have a lot of work to do?

Ah-ha, yeah. I actually do. I wanna start digging into that sec case and see what they got on drew and carly. Do you know the entire quartermaine family, my mother included, believe that ned was behind it? I guess I’m not convinced. But then again, I wasn’t convinced when they found a stolen bracelet in cody’s pocket either.

Gladys corbin set me up, okay? She knows that I’m onto the scam that she’s running, trying to bilk her–her daughter-in-law. So she’s trying to discredit me before I blow her and her plan out of the water.

Cody, I simply don’t care.

Okay, look, and I respect your point of view, but I’ve been a regular in that backroom poker game for a while now. So suddenly, if I’m a no-show, the other players are gonna start asking questions.

Such as?

Why was a petty thief allowed in the game to begin with?

Gladys, it is not up to you to let sasha do anything. She’s a grown woman with a mind of her own.

I know that. But it’s also my responsibility not just as her court-appointed guardian, but also as a member of her family.

So what you’re really saying is, you’re worried you’re gonna lose money because sasha could have another meltdown?

That’s a low blow, maxie.

[Scoffs] Okay, you’re talking about her facing her fears. What if those fears are too strong for her right now? What if she cracks again, and we can’t pick up the pieces?

You’re right, gladys. You do have a say. But my friends and partners at deception have stood by me, and I am ready to return the favor and start living my life again.

[Warm music]

Thanks, grandmother. Orange, too. I like orange. [Laughs] This brings back memories. I just wanna get the all-clear from the doctor so that we can go home.

I know.

Which I know means more time around esme, and I haven’t even told her that we’re back in town yet. But I know that she has every right to be here because she is ace’s mom.

Yes, and I knew that you were gonna feel that way. So I hope you don’t mind, but–

you hope that I don’t mind what?

Where’s my baby?

[Gasps] Here you go.

Hi.

[Soft music]

[Crying]

Oh, you would be so proud of your son. He was just as brave, if not braver, than everyone on the “haunted star,” right?

We all made sure that he was safe and warm.

And by we, you mean you and laura, right?

Yes, the two of us helped, but trina also did a lot.

Oh, well, tell her that I owe her a huge thank-you, especially after all the things people say I did to hurt her. I–

if you knew trina, you’d know that she’d never take it out on ace.

I am just glad that the nightmare is over and that victor cassadine is–

is dead. It’s really okay to say it. The world is a better place without him.

[Knocking]

Hi, everybody. I’m here to examine ace. Right, so, esme, you’re his mom, so you can stay. But mayor collins and mr. Cassadine…

[Clicks tongue] Let’s go.

Okay.

[Whispers indistinctly]

[Sighs] So it’s been three months since my whole world turned upside down and I found out that it might be possible… that curtis–oh–

oh, I get it. I get it. You wanna know.

Want to? No. But I feel like I need to know. If curtis is my biological father, that means that I’m related to stella and that marshall would be my grandfather.

Hey, you know what? I appreciate you sharing your decision with me. You know, that’s very kind. That’s who portia and me raised you to be. But you know, just with that said, you don’t need my permission.

Yeah, maybe not, but I would like your blessing.

You have it, baby girl. Today, tomorrow, forever.

[Pensive music]

And I agree with you. Secrets tear families apart.

[Sighs] So you go learn whatever you need to learn, okay? But if you think that these results, whatever they are, are gonna change how I feel about you or me being your dad–

oh, never, ever.

So wsb agent wants to talk with me alone. Is this where you get rid of me to close the book on victor cassadine?

We don’t play those games anymore.

I’m sure. So if you don’t wanna silence me, what exactly do you want?

The bureau was very impressed with the way you handled yourself amid all the chaos in greenland, even if you went rogue in doing it.

Well, I tell you what, I would do the same thing all over again if it meant saving someone I love. Call it reckless if you want to.

We call it initiative.

Agent hursley, I’ve been around the block a few times. And I know that if you’re looking into me, you already did research into my background. So you know it wasn’t all pretty.

We know you were a damn good cop before– well, let’s just say you made some bad choices. But that was a long time ago, and the bottom line is, we can use a man like you.

I already have a job. I assume the wsb already knows that.

The bureau can’t be everywhere at all times. We need assets in the field– strictly off the books, of course, but ready and able to help when needed. So what do you think?

That is the sasha gilmore that I know and love. And I’m not the only one. Your one appearance on home & heart made quite the impression.

I bet.

Not in a bad way, sasha. People sympathized with you. They’ve been following you ever since. They will be rooting for you.

That’s nice to hear. If I can just find a way to look into that camera again and think about the people watching as my friends, as people who have problems, just like I do, then maybe I can help them as well as help myself.

Have I ever told you that you’re my hero? And there’s nobody else I would rather–

[Sneezes] [Groans] The last thing I want is to hold you back. If you really think you’re ready for this, I won’t stand in your way.

Thank you, gladys. [Groans] I just hope you don’t regret it later.

[Soft music]

Okay.

[Door shutting]

Okay, fine. I can admit that you may have made the review board more receptive to giving chase his job back, but chase also proved that he deserved to be reinstated.

I agree. Chase is a straight shooter. Exactly my point. How do you think he’s gonna react when he finds out you went behind his back to me? Better yet, let’s find out. [Scoffs] You’re bluffing.

Am I? As luck would have it, I have him on speed dial.

What?

[Phone rings] What, who’s calling you?

I don’t know. I don’t recognize the number.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Maybe it’s that anonymous sec source.

This is detective chase. How can I help you?

Detective chase, this is tracy quartermaine. Our paths crossed at michael and willow’s wedding, remember?

[Suspenseful music]

There was a part of me that enjoyed all the action in greenland. Who wouldn’t wanna kick ass and take names, especially when the name is cassadine?

So I can tell my superiors we can count on you?

I’m not saying that exactly, see, because there’s still a part of me that enjoys working at my nightclub, listening to live music, and making sure that my customers are okay, and letting someone else be the tough guy.

I’ll take that as a maybe. There’s no need to give me a definitive answer right now.

[Phone chiming]

I just texted you my private number. Think about it, and give me a call, because that nightclub of yours may seem a little tame after saving the planet.

Do not overplay your hand with me. The guests at my table trust me.

No doubt. But you’ll still have a lot of explaining to do. Don’t you think the better play is to double down on your faith in me?

Don’t listen to him. [Chuckles] What’s the matter, gladys? Guilty conscience?

I don’t know what pack of lies cody’s been feeding you, but the man was caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. If you’re as smart as I think you are, you’ll get rid of him.

You’re half right, gladys, because I was thinking about getting rid of both of you.

Yes, of course I remember you, ms. Quartermaine.

Well, aren’t you sweet, detective chase?

So what can I do for ya?

My granddaughter told me that you just got reinstated. Congratulations.

Yeah, well, actually, I owe your granddaughter for standing up for me.

Ah, yes. Well, she’s nothing if not loyal. Since I’m back in town for a while, I’ve decided I wanna take a greater interest in the community. Shall we have lunch?

Lunch?

I’ll be in touch.

[Suspenseful music]

Your mom’s married to ned, right? So you speak quartermaine? What the hell was that about?

So what’s it gonna be? Are you gonna take the deal, or am I gonna take the lunch?

I didn’t mean to hurt my mother-in-law’s feelings, but I can’t depend on gladys forever. Sooner or later, I have to take charge of my own life, my own choices, my own mistakes.

Well, the biggest mistake would be trusting gladys more than you trust yourself. I’m not at all saying that gladys doesn’t care about you, but she seems to think of you as– as some sort of victim, someone who needs protecting.

And how do you think of me?

Besides the fact that you are completely gorgeous, I see you as strong, capable, someone who has grown leaps and bounds this past year and is ready to take on the world again. But before you step in front of those cameras, the only thing that really matters is if you feel the same way.

Is my little boy gonna be all right?

Well, considering he survived an adventure on the high seas and narrowly escaped an international incident, I’d say he’s doing all right. But he could really use one thing.

Well, please tell me.

His mom.

Hi, ace.

[Somber music]

Trina and taggert still up in your office?

Yes. Is everything okay?

Nothing I can’t handle.

[Elevator dinging]

Good.

Hey, why don’t I just take off?

No, no, stay. I told this to my dad, and I wanted you to both hear this from me so that we could stop asking questions and start living like a family again. And in order to do that, I wanna get a dna test.

[Suspenseful music]

How’s ace?

Your little brother? He’s doing great.

Oh, good.

Ready to go home.

Home, as in all of us going back to living at my grandmother’s place, assuming that’s still okay with you.

You know, normally I don’t like to speak for kevin, but this is one time I can say with real confidence that we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you, doctor.

Anytime.

After you, my dear.

Why do you think brook lynn’s grandmother wants to have lunch with me?

Well, if it was anyone else, I’d say she probably just wants to talk about you and her granddaughter. But it’s tracy quartermaine, so I bet she’s got another agenda.

You think I should stay away?

You could, or you could be a detective and go out to lunch.

Just remember, detective chase is only a phone call away.

That won’t be necessary. Just as always, you win. When do you want me to start working back at deception?

How do I feel about going back on the cameras at home & heart? Honestly, part of me wants to run and hide. But I won’t give in to that fear. Even if I fail–

which you won’T.

Thank you. But I won’t know until I try.

Wait, so you’re in?

I’m in.

[Both laugh]

Yes.

It’s his fault.

It’s her fault.

Consider yourselves warned, both of you. Now, cody, if you can play your cards tonight like you’ve played them with me, you can have a place at the table.

Thank you. You won’t regret it. [Clears throat] I haven’t forgotten about you, gladys. You, too, have a place at the table. Who knows? Maybe your luck will change.

[Soft music playing]

I wish that I had never put you in this position in the first place, but I’m so proud of you for wanting to know the truth.

Yeah, I second that.

Thank you. That means a lot to me.

[Elevator dinging]

[Sighs] The doctor gave ace the thumbs-up that he’s healthy, so all of us are gonna take him home now to grandmother’S.

Okay. I’m glad your little brother is okay.

[Somber music]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Miss this, don’t you? Damn right. I do. We should be running this place. You and me. Don’t worry my love. We will be as soon as we give my sweet brother EJ the boot. Speaking of the dark menace. He’s late. You should put that in your next report. Add something in there about Nicole. She’s Mia too. Yeah. Well, at least she has an excuse.

What’s that? She was in the hospital last night. Hi Kayla, it’s Nicole. I, I know we can’t do the DNA test for a few weeks, the, the paternity test, but I wanna make an appointment now because I need to find out who the father of my baby is as soon as possible.

Eric. Hi. Uh, I was just talking to Kayla and I don’t know if you heard, but No. I, I didn’t, are you okay? I, I’m fine, but forget about me. Eric, you, you, your face ej and I, we got into it last night. I heard, but I I didn’t think it was that bad. Said I’m fine. I was worried about you. Actually, I left you a message.

I was trying to warn you that EJ found out about us. Yeah. Thanks to Sloan, but I didn’t get the message until after EJ confronted me. Now we spent timing. More like bad judgment on your girlfriend’s part. Why the hell would Sloan tell EJ that you and I slept together? What the hell is she thinking?

No, don’t gimme that hassis crap. When you missed me. I missed you a lot. Like hell you have. If that were true, you’d have told me you were in town. I know what you’ve been doing, little brother. So close the door. We need to talk.

No answer. The first call went to voicemail, so I’m trying her again. Remember, Sloane Peterson is our prime suspect. Yeah, but I still wanna know what my sister can tell me about this calling guy. He’s part of me is afraid to hear it.

Did you wanna kiss that? No. I’ll just turn off the ringer.

See no more interruptions.

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

Shall we take this? Yes.

Let’s go to my room.

I don’t know Carolina, I don’t think I can do this. You know how important this is to. And babe, when this is finally over, I’ll be okay. No more mood swings, no more crazy depression, cuz I’ll feel like I’ve got justice. For my mom and we will be so happy together.

I love you so, so much. You love me too, don’t you,

Chanel baby. Are you here?

Talia, where are you? Call me as soon as you get this. You need to talk. I’ll explain later. Decided to hold back, huh? Well, I figured. Get down to the station. You’re looking guilty here by the minute. Somehow wasn’t the right approach. Please let there be something that explains us all away.

And what is it that I’ve been doing? Oh, there it is. The same. Who me act you’ve been doing since we were five. You know it never bothered me until the time whenever you snuck out with the car and you cracked the taillight and let mom and dad believe that was me. I was grounded for a month. Yeah, sorry about that.

Oh, stop playing innocent Collin cuz I’m not buying it. Okay. No more games. Just advice leave now. The less you know, the better. Too late. As I said, I already know what you’ve been doing.

Sloan and Miss, she made a mistake. Hmm, that’s big of her. She also thought Youj already knew. Since you and I have been drugged and what happened between us wasn’t our fault that you would’ve already told EJ and that maybe he wouldn’t have made such a big deal about it. Well, clearly she doesn’t have a full appreciation of the complicated history you share.

She does, but I filled her in some. She also assumes that some of our complications are in the past. Frame in the past. Is everything okay between you and ej? Mm-hmm. Yeah, fine. We’re fine. And you? What about me? Well, you just said you were on the phone with Kayla and you seemed a little bit startled when I walked in.

Is everything okay?

EJ Damaris Pro. Perpetual tardiness is emblematic of his job performance at large. It demonstrates a failure of commitment to the company, a contempt for his coworkers, and a shocking lack of self-awareness. He’s c e o, not a king, Gabby. That’s great. Thank you. And I’ve got more, yeah, more of what? Hi, ej.

You’re late. It’s getting to be a habit. Not that I answered to you, or you’re so-called consultant, but I was tending to Nicole. Is she okay? She’s fine. Oh, good. I for one, I’m glad that this little episode hasn’t interfered with her work. Mother thought I was a hell. Is that supposed to mean. You know her work.

You hired her to evaluate my job performance. Surely that hasn’t slipped your mind now. No, it hasn’t. Right? How could it anyway, I was, um, a little concerned, given Nicole’s obvious bias against me, that she would be anything but fair in her reports to board. But turns out, I had nothing to worry about. You see, she was a total pro.

What are you talking about? Oh, you haven’t seen it? No. I happen to have a copy of Nicole’s hand work right here.

Dira shows upstanding attention to detail. Fosters positive cult Wish he’d stay in this position forever. That one is my favorite, and believe me when I say I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure that becomes a reality. Nicole didn’t write one word of that crap. Nobody has her name on it, and it was sent from her email address to Shin and the rest of the DER board.

I don’t know how you did it, but you obviously pulled something while Nicole was at the hospital. Wait a minute. That wasn’t the only report you submitted to the board last night, was it?

Everything’s fine. It’s nothing really. Nicole, you, you just said you were on the phone with Kayla. You looked a little rattled. Come on. You know me. I get a little twinge and I immediately jump to the worst case scenario and you know, let the doctor checks me out, says I’m fine. But I of course insist on follow up tests.

It’s silly. Really? Yeah. So just a little twinge. Well, last night I, I got some cramps that were pretty painful, so I, I went to the hospital. You, you were at the hospital last night. I was there too. Kayla said she saw you. I ran into EJ on my way out. Oh, you, you didn’t say anything before. I must have blocked it out Anyway, he said, the two of you talked about what happened between us and.

Understands what happened and it didn’t mean anything and I should just let it go, which is not a problem for me. I mean, we can get past that. Right, right. There is one thing that’s a bit strange. What’s that? EJ mentioned he went to the hospital to get his hand checked. But obviously he was there to see you.

And why would he lie?

Chanel, I’m so sorry. I thought you were alone. Okay, mama. It’s okay. Oh, I didn’t mean to hold alone. Don’t panic. Just breathe. Ms. Price. Please don’t get the wrong idea. Oh, no, no, no. It’s okay. It’s okay. Chanon told me you were dating. Uh, you know, and the last thing anyone wants on a date is a third wheel, so I’ll just roll on out the way I came in.

No, no, no. This is your home. I’ll, I’ll go, but you don’t have to do that. Tell you, honey, please don’t leave on my account. I should really handle this missed call. Really, it’s fine. I’ll just talk to you later. Okay.

Should know, baby, I, I feel terrible and I, I wish I know that you had company. Well, next time I’ll just put one of Ape’s ties on the door. Well, I didn’t realize that things were moving so fast between you two. We were just. Hanging out and then it sort of happened. Oh, well in that case, huh? Maybe it’s a good thing that I interrupted.

What does that mean? Why don’t you let me talk to Talia? Give yourself a break. No, it has to be me. I know her better than anyone. Sure. Yeah. But you know, maybe in this case a little less, uh, closeness could be a good thing. Are you saying that I can’t be objective? I’m saying she’s your sister. Exactly. So I’ll know if something’s off.

Just like when she suddenly remembered that she didn’t come straight home from dinner at Chanel’s and she got a headache and took a walk around the lake a night before half the town got drugged. Tell me more about what happened at the motel. Ugh, you should have seen this Colin Firth. Dude, that’s shady.

Huh? He was evasive, uncooperative, and he wouldn’t even admit that he knew Talia. Even after I had two witnesses that swear they saw her leaving his room. All right, Talia, who still has no motive whatsoever. I know. I know. And even if she did, I just. I can’t figure out how this call-in guy even fits in. You know, if this joker won’t tell me what I need to know, then I’m gonna find out myself.

Meaning he can play dumb, he can stonewall, but he can’t stop me from investigating. I am gonna find out everything there is to know about him, starting with what kind of car he drives. I’m in his place. See if he’s in the system. I’m gonna go back to that nasty motel room and see who else is stopping by to see him.

How could I have not seen this sooner? Yeah, seriously, and not usually this low. I am sorry. Old habits. Look, you’ve put enough time and the effort in trying to make that little slut pay for what she did to our mom and to dad. And now it’s my turn. Your turn. This isn’t a game. What I mean is that you tried to get justice for our parents using the legal system and it didn’t work.

And that’s not an insult. All right? You’re brilliant at what you do, but this, this requires someone who’s willing to go to more extreme measures, and that’s someone in me.

Colin, have you considered how what you’re doing affects me? I’m being blamed for all of this. Of course you are. So you know that you’ve put me in the cops crosshairs. I’m sorry. It’s been inconvenient. Inconvenient. My life is a living hell. The DA and the police commissioner are breathing down my neck.

They’re out to get me. The only reason they haven’t been able to pan anything is they don’t have concrete evidence and they won’t, no. You know how far Paul Price will go to protect her daughter? Come on. It’s only a matter of time before she pays somebody. To find something to railroad me with. Yeah. But you are way too smart to let that happen.

Oh, so I should just use my brains and just have faith that it’s all gonna work out. You’re gonna thank me when this is done. The most powerful people in this town are out to destroy me and the other half. They hate my guts. God, I consumed my, my license, my practice. My freedom, Collin, I highly doubt. I’m gonna be thanking you.

Look, if you don’t like the way that I’m doing this, then gimme another suggestion cuz the only other way I see is walking away and I am not gonna do that. I’m not letting those little bitches get away with murder. Don’t you think you’ve done enough damage? You got Chanel’s Bakery closed down. You killed her dream.

That’s just the beginning. Why would you interrupting me Antalia be a good thing? I thought you liked her. I, I, I do very much. Okay. Well, if this is because you think I’m rushing into things after I promise to take things slow. No, no, no. It’s not that. Okay. Well, well, if this is about me being Talia’s boss, I told you I don’t have a policy against coworkers hooking up.

I, I know, I know. As long as it’s consensual. I know, baby. I know you do. Okay, then I’m lost. You know? Forget it, you know, forget what I said. No, I, I can’t. You’re not making any sense. That is because I’m so worried about the Sloan Peterson situation. I, I, I’m not thinking straight. Did something happen? I got another threatening message when I was down at the police station just now.

No. Yes, and I pushed Ray yet again to arrest as SL ass lawyer, but he kept going on and on about how they needed to consider all possible suspects. Okay. Well, What does this have to do with you being glad you interrupted? Wait, are you saying the police suspect? Talia?

I’m headed over to the white dove right now and I’m not gonna come back until I have something solid. Talia, what are you doing here? What? You called, didn’t you? So instead of playing phone tag, I figured I’d come see what you wanted. This time. Okay, then I’ll tell you.

I wanna know who Colin is and what the hell you’re doing with him.

Please tell me you did not submit those BOGUES evaluations to the board. Ogus aj, don’t tell me you can’t handle an honest assessment. There was nothing honest about it. The scathing report Gabby wrote about me was All Lies and Nicole’s report on Stephan was obviously doctored by the two of you to make him look like a rockstar.

I swear to God, if you sent one word of that rubbish to shin

aj, you gonna answer that?

EJ was protecting my privacy.

Okay, fine. You know, he didn’t want you to know that I was at the hospital. Its just when it comes to confiding in people about me, you’re not exactly at the top of his list. Yeah. Okay. I was just concerned, but I, I, I told you No, I know what you told me, but I also know you,

I can see the look in your eyes, Nicole.

It’s not nothing. I mean, you could talk to me about anything. You know that right? You can trust me. Yeah. Yeah. I know that. And I, I appreciate it. It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. It’s just. It’s hard. I know it’s hard to keep a secret.

Hey, if you can just, just open up a little bit, you can talk to me. Maybe it’ll make it easier.

You promise

I promised Nicole.

These, these cramps, they’re, they’re not just cramps, then what are they?

Kayla thinks

that I’m in the early stages of menopause. Oh, okay. I mean, The way you were talking, it just, you made it sound more serious. No, no. It’s, it’s, it’s not serious. It’s, and it’s normal even though it’s, it’s early, like I said. Yeah. So, so what are the test for

clarity?

Because I don’t wanna be guessing what’s going on with my body. I wanna know for sure

Mr. Shin. Yes, I was just informed that you received the reports, but you must understand there’s a lot more going on here than please ignore everything you read about Steph. And the report on my brother was tampered with, uh, someone hacked into my evaluation. That is, that is, that is pure fiction. We both know how Gabby Hernandez is deeply biased and.

I am not a HR disaster waiting to happen, and the last thing I am is temperamental and those quotes about me being imperious are totally made up.

You want me to do what? Take anger management classes. I’ll show you anger management.

You boss it, use of offensive language. Put that in your report too, didn’t you? Sure did.

Ray didn’t want me to know any of this. He kept saying it was nothing. They suspected TA for a moment. But I, that’s it. I don’t understand. The police interviewed us twice. I guess there was some slight discrepancy, bat Talia story, but you cleared it all up. What discrepancy are you talking about? Well, I think it started with the, where she went, you know, after she had dinner here.

Something else about my keys or nothing of any consequence besides, she had no motive whatsoever to want to hurt us, and yet the police considered her a suspect with Sloan. The person who’s obviously behind all of this, just right in front of them. This is beyond ridiculous baby. I’m with you. But I think, you know, I think Ray, he just wanted to be thorough, not leave any stone unturned.

Okay. Well then he should have asked me about Talia. I spend more time with her than anyone else around here. I think. I know she was out to get us

getting Chanel’s Bakery shutdown was just the beginning for you. Nice way to gloss over a felony. You know, that’s the kind of thing they send people to prison for. Yeah, we’re lucky for me. My sister is a brilliant barrister. Besides, what’s the problem? Nobody got hurt. They just ate a few biscuits and made them PR around like they’re at Woodstock again.

Hmm. It all looked pretty fun to me. Yeah, well tried telling that to the police commissioner and the DA who ended up in the hospital. I, I read about that in that cheesy gossip column. Sounds like he snogged his lead detective first, but she is pretty hot, so maybe he thinks he’s worth it. This is all just a big joke to you, isn’t it?

You say nobody’s getting hurt, but people are getting hurt, Colin, including me. Yeah, but like I said, there is no way that they’re gonna be able to pin this on you. That’s not what I meant is this.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, bud. This is the first time since I got to this stupid town that I might actually have something. Good going. Not that I came here looking for it or even wanted it, but, but I’ve found it and I don’t want anything to mess it up. Are you talking about a guy? I like him. Okay.

He’s important to me. All right. I promise going forward that whatever I do will not affect him. Promise. Well, it’s too late for that because you know what? He ate one of your biscuits and got drugs and ended up poking up with his ex that I had the pleasure of walking in on.

I know you think what you’re doing is honoring mom and dad’s memory,

but the only thing you’re doing is you are ruining my life. It stops here, Colin. It’s over.

You, you wanna talk about? Claims his last name is Firth. Why Dove Motel room 1 0 6? I, I don’t, I don’t understand him. Neither do we. But Zander Cook and Chloe Lane both said that they saw you leaving his motel room, so I went there to talk to him. Wait, wait. You talked, I asked him some questions, which he took Great pleasure in refusing to answer.

So, uh, Are you gonna do the same or are you gonna tell me what’s going on? Was it you that they saw leaving Collins Motel room?

Yes.

I lied to you. Okay.

The night that everybody got high off of those biscuits, I didn’t have a headache. And, um, I didn’t go take a walk around the lake. I went to the motel and I went to go see Colin, Jennifer, uh, Talia. Stop. I, I need to repeat your right. No, you just let me explain please. Okay. I, I have to say this now. Okay. Uh, go ahead Colin.

He’s my ex-boyfriend from New York. The night that, um, I went. To have dinner with Chanel and her family. He texted me completely out of the blue, but he said that he was in town and that he wanted to see me. And yes, I know that we’re broken up and everything and I know that I said I was completely done, but.

I went to the motel and I slept with him.

Why didn’t you just say that in the first place? Because I shouldn’t be seen calling at all. Okay. He’s no good for me and I don’t like who I am when I’m around him. I heard his voice on the phone. I got weak and everything that I thought that I knew, it went completely out of the window. And what he wanted, I don’t know.

I just did. Okay. I mean, I knew you had a boyfriend in in New York, but I didn’t know you felt like this, but he made you feel like this. Why didn’t you say anything? God, what? Isn’t it obvious? This, this is humiliating to me, and I don’t know. I don’t know why God lied to you. Okay. When I saw those people in the hallway coming out of his room, I had just told him that I don’t wanna see his face ever again.

That I wasn’t done this time for good. Okay. So you could have been upset. I don’t, I don’t know. Listen, it’s okay. No, Evan, you heard enough Detective, have I Have I finally convinced you that I’m not a terrorist, that I’m a just apathetic loser who slept with her ex-boyfriend. Want me to provide more details for you?

Really dive into the death of my shame. Or do you believe me? Down. So this, this can all, you can just stop, please. Of course I believe you. I gotta go

now. No one understands what you are feeling more than I do. I felt that every single day since mom died. The sorrow, the grief, the rage. I’ve spent hours obsessing over how to make Paul and Chanel pay, how to make them suffer the way we suffered, but by some miracle. Colin, I want something more than revenge.

I found something. Beautiful that I wanna protect, and you are making that very, very hard. Last thing I wanted to do was to hurt you, but I just, but you need this. If you need it. I know I’ve been there, but it is a lonely place, Collin, I didn’t even realize how lonely it was until I found somebody who showed me that there was so much more to live for.

I want that for you too.

Moving on does not mean we forget them. We will never forget. But you should want more for yourself too.

Look at the police. Come looking for Megan. I’m gonna tell them it’s you. The truth. You got that?

Yes. This is EJ Damira for Mr. Shin. What the hell do you mean? He’s not available? I just spoke to him. Please let him know that I cold. Thank you. I can believe our work here is done. Are you hungry? My love. I was thinking about going to lunch to celebrate. Oh, I am ravenous, but um, not for lunch.

So just to be sure. Everything that EJ said at the hospital is true, right? I mean, everything’s cool. No more lingering issues between us. I sure hope not.

You know what? This, this is ej of course. Probably just it’s good to see him. I hope everything goes well with the test.

Ej Hi. Can you come to the office right away? We have a bit of a situation here. Um, sure is everything all right? You sound it’s fine. I’ll, I’ll be there soon.

Oh, mama. That’s awful. Sloane Peterson strikes her again. Okay, well we have to do something. Oh, baby, I’m trying. I insisted that wave get her down to the station for questioning. Mm-hmm. Of course she denied everything. She’s lying. Oh. Problem is we, we can’t prove it. Well, okay, so, so what can we do? Tell you what we don’t do?

Let Sloan get so much as a hint that the, the police are spectacular. Oh, knowing that lion crepe, she’ll find a way to incriminate the poor girl. I still can’t believe that Ray thought that Talia was behind all this. And then Jada suspecting her own sister. I know, baby. It is nuts. But you don’t need to worry.

You don’t need to worry. They got their eye on the prize. Uh, so anyway, uh, tell me about, you went, Talia, I assume you too. Were having a nice time before I bought you on Well, You know, I, I assumed after our date last night that that was the end of the romantic road. Oh, it didn’t go well. Well, it, it started off great, but then towards the end things got kind of awkward and then I, I just assumed that she wasn’t into me and then she showed up here today with flowers.

Oh dear. That’s beautiful. Yeah. And then we started talking about last night and why she seemed so uncomfortable, and it turns out that she doesn’t have much experience with, with, with girls, with anyone. A woman like her, that’s hard to believe. I know, but I, I guess there was one guy in New York and she fell pretty hard and, and they broke up.

Hmm. She got, yeah. Pretty emotional talking about it. I’m glad you and ta are getting closer. She has such a big heart. So the, the idea that she would hurt anyone. Let alone us. The cops have got to be barking up the wrong tree.

Figured you could use this. My sister was in so much pain overseeing that guy calling. I just go on and. How on with the questions? Well, we didn’t know who the guy was, but now that you do, I suspect that Talia has put your doubts to rest. She no longer suspect that she’s involved in any of this. Well, I’ll tell you one thing.

I hope she really meant it about leaving her ex. Cause everything about that guy scream bad news.

I, uh, I have some noose. Is everything all right? You’ve been through the ringer? Yeah. Well, I just came from seeing my sister. Again, but don’t worry. Okay. I have everything under control. I thought you were supposed to be with Chanel. Yeah, I was. But we got interrupted by our mom coming home. Look, bam, don’t be upset, okay?

Because things are starting to heat up between me and little Ms. Sweet bits. She’s really into me now.

Wait, Colin. What’s going on? I just thought I’d organize cuz my clothes were everywhere and then the room is so small. Wait, but didn’t you say you had news? Yeah. Doesn’t matter. Babe, that is so great about you and Chanel. You have no idea how happy you made me

girlfriend. What happened to the police? Oh, someone was yet again, sending Helen a threatening text and. They wanna blame it on me. Another text Sounds like whoever’s doing this is running out of ideas, which hopefully means this will be over soon. I hope so.

What the hell is this? This is not the report I wrote about Stephan. My guess is Gabby got into your computer while you were at the hospital. Oh my God. Before I left the house, I opened my computer and typed in my password and she saw it. That snake combine this glowing report on my brother with the Hatcher job she did on me.

And we have a true disaster on our hands. Yeah, well, they’re not gonna get away with it because I’m gonna rewrite that report and send it to the board. Then I’m gonna take my computer to it to prove that it was hacked. Nicole. What? I don’t, I don’t know. They have to be exposed. Ej, we have no other choice.

I know, I know. It’s just, I’m worried. About what? They are going to have two reports from you on their desk, one true and one a lie. How will they determine which one is real?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Carter: I just got the call. I know it’s not ideal with everything else going on.

Hope: Or it could be perfect timing. International buzz ghw wouldn’t hurt.

Thomas: What’s happening?

Hope: Well, some of our most influential buyers just arrived in san francisco.

Carter: Now that you and hope are a team again, they want you to fly up for a meeting.

Thomas: When?

Hope: Today.

Finn: I had a cancellation. So, well, naturally, I had to come see you.

Steffy: Mm. I love it when my sexy, handsome doctor makes an office call.

[ Door opens ]

Liam: Hey. So– oh. Oh. That’s–

Finn: We forgot to lock the door.

Steffy: Yeah, yeah.

Liam: Uh, hope sent a text saying that, uh, she and carter were here. I assumed it was in this room. Obviously, that’s not the case. So, uh, how are you?

Liam: You just, uh– you just point me in the direction of my wife and I will disappear, so…

Steffy: No, liam, actually, wait, I– I have kelly’s–

Liam: No, no, no. I’ll– I’ll come back. Steffy, I can come back for it.

Steffy: It’s right here–

Finn: Did you remember the new shoelaces?

Steffy: Here, catch.

Liam: The purple ones with the matching– the– the glittery–

Steffy: Of course! As if kelly would let me forget. Are you kidding?

Liam: Well, according to several of the fashion magazines I publish, they’re all the rage, so…

Finn: Well, she’s gonna be a trendsetter just like her mom.

Liam: Yeah, she sure is.

Finn: Hey, so, liam, I, um– I know we’re gonna see you at the soccer game this weekend, but I was wondering, uh, how are you holding up? Well, steffy mentioned some things. And I don’t think it’s a big secret that you still have issues with hope and thomas working together.

Liam: [ Laughs ] Uh…

Thomas: So, the buyers wanna meet with us today?

Carter: Soon as you can get there.

Thomas: In san francisco?

Carter: I already talked to the pilot. He can file a flight plan as soon as I give the word.

Thomas: Sudden.

Carter: Yeah, I just got the request. I ran it by hope on my way to find you. And like I explained to her, they’re very excited and wanna see you both.

Hope: This could be huge for our collection.

Thomas: So, we need to leave, like, right now.

Hope: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Are you willing to go?

Thomas: Yeah, of course. But, uh, are you?

Hope: Yes. I think it would be a great way to show them our confidence in our comeback and– and show them how well we’ve been working together.

Carter: So, what do you say, thomas?

Thomas: You know how committed I am to this line. Let’s roll. One prilosec otc each morning blocks

Liam: So, you really, truly think thomas has changed?

Finn: I do. A lot. Look, he’s– he’s taking therapy seriously. He’s focused on his work, being a better father. And there’s no question thomas is sincere, I– does it mean you need to stop being vigilant where hope is concerned? I– I can’t answer that.

Liam: I don’t know. Maybe you can. You spend time with him.

Finn: Well, at the house with family and not at work with hope.

Liam: Hmm. Yeah.

Steffy: You know where I stand on this.

Liam: You think that I’m too hard on thomas and I need to give him a break. Right?

Steffy: I think he is doing the work. And it’s not just talk.

Finn: Look, it’s– it’s his wife. He’s in love with her and he wants to protect her.

Liam: Absolutely. That’s it. That’s it.

Finn: That’s something I understand.

Liam: Thank you. And I just– I– here’s my thing. I just don’t wanna take thomas’s word for it when he says, “oh, it’s fine. You have nothing to worry about.” Because I’ve made that exact mistake before.

Finn: Uh, and it’s– it’s stressful. I mean, you’re– you’re on alert all the time.

Liam: Right. And I’m not– you know, I don’t wanna be, like, looking for problems where there aren’t any. But if I let my guard down and something does happen, he does snap or whatever, like, I’m never gonna forgive myself.

Steffy: Okay. Hold on. Hope doesn’t need protection from thomas.

Hope: This is about thomas

again?

Steffy: Hope,

you were clutching his hands.

You were gazing into his eyes.

Hope: Stop, you’re making

a bigger deal out of that

moment than it has to be.

I mean, we were excited

about the numbers.

What more do you want

me to say?

Steffy: I just need to know.

I need to be a hundred

percent certain that you have

no inappropriate feelings

towards my brother. Liam, thomas won’t do anything to interfere in your marriage.

Carter: Won’t be an overnight trip.

Thomas: Yeah, well, we’re too busy for that.

Carter: Right. We’re in the swing of production. You’re churning out designs. But actual face time with the buyers, it’s too important to pass up. You’ll fly up, have the meeting, be back in la in time to say goodnight to your kids.

Hope: Perfect.

Thomas: Yeah.

Carter: And donna, she’s gonna book a room at the hotel. She’s setting up catering. All you two have to do is show up and kill your presentation.

Thomas: Yeah. Once we figure out which looks to bring for the collection.

Carter: Katie’s sending over an updated media package.

Hope: I already have sales preparing a deck about our pre-order numbers.

Thomas: Sounds like we’re all set.

Carter: Guys, hope for the future is making an excellent turnaround. But this meeting with the buyers could be crucial for your success.

Thomas: Securing a strong presence with the international market is important.

[ Phone chimes ]

Hope: Especially for an innovative brand like ours appealing to a younger, more socially conscious clientele.

Carter: It’s the pilot. The flight plan is filed. Jet’s being fueled.

Hope: Okay. So, we just need to grab a few things here and then we’ll be on our way.

Carter: Good luck. We’ll debrief in the morning.

Thomas: Thanks for setting this up, carter.

Carter: It’s in your hands now. Bring it home.

Hope: Okay, so, what do we need to bring? I need my tablet. Uh, we need our designs. I think we should bring design number six and some fabric samples.

Thomas: Maybe we should bring an exclusive, something no one else has seen.

Hope: That’s smart. That’s smart. Let them have the first look. I think that could go a long way. Oh! This is exciting. I– I can’t wait.

Thomas: Neither can I. But what about liam? Can’t imagine he’s gonna be too thrilled about this.

Hope: Thrilled about what? What’s going on? No two bodies are the same.

Liam: Okay. So, obviously there’s something I should know about. What? What is it?

Hope: Um, well, carter was just here and I have to fly to san francisco for a meeting. Some of our most influential buyers are in town and they want to discuss our upcoming collection.

Liam: That’s great.

Hope: Yeah. Yeah. So, it’s– it’s gonna be a quick trip, just there and back.

Liam: Okay. When?

Hope: Today. Actually, like, right now.

Liam: Oh, okay. Uh, I don’t– wait. I don’t– why? Like, there’s nothing going on with the kids and you and I don’t have any plans. Why would– why would I not be– ’cause thomas is going. Okay. Yeah.

Thomas: Liam, uh, hope and I are both the leaders of hope for the future and the buyer wants to see both of us.

Liam: So, it’s the buyer’s idea? Okay.

Thomas: Yes. Uh, you know what, I’m gonna leave you guys to talk about this. I have some sketches I need to grab. Okay. Right. [ Clears throat ] But I– liam, just so you know, I– you got nothing to worry about.

Finn: Go lock the door.

Steffy: But I don’t wanna let you go. And my employees should know not to barge in on the boss, so…

Finn: Mm-hmm?

Steffy: Yeah.

[ Door opens ]

Thomas: Steff, I just need to grab a few things.

[ Finn chuckles ]

Steffy: Except that one.

Finn: Yeah.

Thomas: You’re busy.

Steffy: Uh, try– trying to be.

Thomas: Yeah. Okay. I won’t be here for very long. I just need to grab a couple sketches. The jet’s waiting.

Steffy: You’re doing that now?

Thomas: Yeah. Carter has all the details. And if you’re gonna be in here for a little bit longer, then maybe you should lock the door.

Steffy: We really should’ve learned our lesson when liam walked in on us earlier.

Thomas: Actually, liam is across the hall right now with hope, and he is not happy.

Steffy: Why? What happened?

Thomas: Carter didn’t tell you about the meeting?

Steffy: He texted me, but I was kind of busy.

Thomas: Okay. Um, well, um, hope and I have an impromptu meeting in san francisco today.

Steffy: You and hope are going together?

Thomas: Yes. And liam found out about it and he was as surprised as you are.

Finn: Hmm. I’ll bet.

Thomas: Yeah. I’m guessing by the look on his face when I left, he’s probably not wishing her a bon voyage.

Hope: We only just learned about this meeting a few minutes ago from carter.

Liam: All right. So, hope and thomas take on san francisco.

Hope: Just for the day. We just fly up, have the meeting, fly back. It’s not an overnight. Liam, I know how you feel about thomas. It’s just, this could really make or break our collection and it could generate a lot of buzz.

Liam: Yeah, no, no. I to– I get it. I totally get it. It’s just, it’S… you and thomas taking a trip together, just the two of you, after the time you already spend together. It’s– it’s a lot. But–

Hope: I know that we would normally have a longer conversation about this and I– I get your concerns.

Liam: Yeah. And you’ve heard those concerns ad nauseam. It is what it is.

Hope: Okay. But you understand why I have to go, right? Like, what it takes to sell a collection. I just– I don’t want you to be upset or to worry.

Liam: Hey, I’ll be waiting for you to get home tonight.

Hope: Thank you. Liam, I just– I want you to know that the way you support me and the way you look out for me, I– I don’t take that for granted. Okay? ‘Cause my commitment is to you and only you. I love you.

Liam: I love you, too. Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

Steffy: This meeting could be a big game-changer. The couture line has a strong share with them. But hope for the future is just getting its foothold. If they wanna see more of hope and thomas, they need to go.

Finn: Mm, they did, right?

Steffy: Yeah. They’re on a plane right now.

Finn: Well, good. ‘Cause that means we might not get interrupted again.

Steffy: [ Laughs ] No. Oh, great. You’re back.

Liam: You know this door has a lock on it, right?

Finn: Yeah. We just keep getting sidetracked.

Liam: Gross. Forgot kelly’s soccer stuff.

Steffy: I’m assuming you heard about, uh, hope’s trip?

Liam: Last minute san francisco trip? Yeah.

Steffy: I just heard about it, too. You know thomas is going, right?

Liam: Oh, I know. I was with them right before they left.

Finn: You okay with that?

Liam: With my wife’s formerly obsessed lead designer and her taking a little trippy trip together?

Steffy: Liam.

Liam: Obviously, I’m not pleased with it. No.

Steffy: Well, it’s really good for the collection and for hope.

Liam: Yeah. No, yes, of course. And I’m– I’m so proud and supportive of everything hope has accomplished.

Steffy: And my brother’s a big part of that, too.

Liam: Why does everybody think that it’s thomas’s talent I’m doubting? His talent is not the problem. His personality is. And if any of his… issues happen to crop up again, given the right opportunity, like, say, cozy little business trip, we’re gonna have an issue.

Steffy: It’s a necessary trip.

Liam: It’s a necessary trip. I know. I’m just– yeah. Okay. Listen, do I wish hope was going with carter or, well, literally anybody else on the planet? Yes, I do. But like I told hope, I have absolute faith in her. And even though I don’t love how much time she’s spending with thomas, I just have to keep reminding myself that– that there is no– there’s no concern I have for thomas that trumps the faith I have in hope. And I’m incredibly lucky to have her as a wife because she’s honest and she’s genuine and she’s forthright and she loves me. So, there you have it.

Thomas: There you go.

Hope: Thank you.

Thomas: You’re welcome.

Hope: Katie put together a great package about the preview.

Thomas: Yeah? We should start with that and then get into the sales numbers.

Hope: Yeah. The sales team included some projections. I think we go over that and then you’re up.

Thomas: I’m up? No, I think, uh, the best person to talk about hope for the future is hope.

Hope: Yeah. Except the buyers want to see the man behind the design, so…

Pilot: Apologies for the interrupting, but we are gonna be taking off shortly.

Hope: Thank you. Oh, and there aren’t going to be any delays tonight? No fog? We’ll be able to get into los angeles in time this evening?

Pilot: Yes.

Hope: Thank you.

Pilot: You should buckle up. Prepare for takeoff.

Thomas: Thanks.

Hope: [ Clears throat ] So, I know this is a short flight, but I do think we should keep working. I know we don’t have a lot of time to prepare, but I want this presentation to go as smoothly as possible.

Thomas: Yeah. Um… I do wanna talk about this before we get going–

Hope: What?

Thomas: Since we weren’t able to on the way to–

Hope: What? What?

Thomas: Your conversation with liam, how did that go? Look, I– I don’t want our working together or– or– or– yeah, I don’t know, being together at all to cause any issue in your marriage.

Hope: I really do appreciate that, thomas. I do. And I– I believe you. I mean, it wasn’t too long ago that taking this trip with you, it– it might give me pause. But now, I mean, thomas, you have changed. And because of that, I mean, we– we wouldn’t be going to this meeting today. I mean, you helped revitalize hope for the future.

Thomas: I’m just trying to live up to your faith in me.

Hope: Oh, well, you’re kinda doing it every day right now, so…

Thomas: But what about liam?

Hope: Liam knows that I love him and I love our marriage. I love our family. I love our life together. And nothing and no one will ever come between that.

Thomas: I believe you. I know that. I mean, you’ve never been that kind of person. I– I– I saw your mother growing up and she– she made a lot of mistakes, right? She would be with one man, then go to another, and sometimes it wasn’t at the right time. Sometimes not with the right man. But you’re not like that. And you would never do that. Not you. Never you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Well, hello. I’m glad to see you here.

Victoria: You’re not surprised to see me back in genoa city?

Nikki: No. I saw nate last night at neil’s tribute, so I figured you were back, too. But he didn’t tell me why you had to cut your trip to la short.

Victoria: Uh, well, we accomplished our goal, so, uh, we decided to head on back.

Nikki: What happened to the idea of you extending your trip there for a working holiday?

Victoria: Our plans changed.

Audra: Oh, I’ll have my usual. Hey. You’re already back from la. Did you find nate and victoria hard at work?

Elena: They were hard at something, but it wasn’t work.

Audra: Ugh. I almost hate to ask.

Elena: You should have seen them. They were so casually intimate, even in a public restaurant. And their body language gave away everything that was going on between them.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Elena: At least nate had the decency not to deny what was going on. He didn’t even try to. He just admitted it flat out.

Audra: Elena, I am so sorry that you’re going through this. I’m not sure I could have been as strong or as brave as you. But what are you gonna do? What happens now?

Chelsea: So, you’ve noticed it, too?

Adam: It’s impossible not to. I mean, ever since we told connor about sally’s baby.

Chelsea: He’s been so moody and sullen. I’ve been trying to pull him out of it, but– I mean, I don’t understand. So, he’s okay having a big brother, but he’s not okay now having a younger sister?

Adam: Yeah. He and johnny were already solid as cousins, but they’ve really bonded as brothers. The only thing that I can imagine is the news about the baby was just one change too many.

Chelsea: Yeah.

[ Speaking inaudibly ] Adam, I know that look. Promise me you won’t say something negative.

Sally: You spent the night.

Nick: I mean, how could I leave? You pretty much demanded I activate my legendary spooning skills.

Sally: Well, you definitely have considerable talent in that area. Where are you off to now? Going home to see christian?

Nick: Yeah, I’m just gonna run home and change and make sure he gets off to school.

Sally: Do you have time to stay here and have breakfast in bed with me? It’s my treat.

Nick: Sounds amazing, but, uh…

Sally: But what?

Nick: I have some pressing matters I need to handle.

Sally: Something tells me I know exactly where you’re headed. You’re off to fight with your father, aren’t you?

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sally: Nick, can you please not go into battle with your father over me? Okay? I already know who victor is. All right? I know what he wants. He wants me gone. He’s made that perfectly clear.

Nick: That’s not his decision to make.

Sally: Well, I’m still here. Can I please ask you not to turn this into a big newman family war?

Nick: No war. Seriously. I just gotta run home. And then, uh, get to the office. I’ve got a pile of work to catch up on. What’s your day looking like?

Sally: Well, I am meeting up with chloe to go over some design ideas before we follow up with jill. I have been doing tons of research on some workflow office ergonomics experts, ’cause we really need to add someone to our team.

Nick: I like it. And speaking from experience, those clunky chairs, sitting in them all day can really mess up your back. I’m sure you’re gonna find the perfect person. I have absolute faith in you.

Sally: Nicely done, nick. You have diverted my attention. But I’m sorry, I’m not buying it. Are you sure you’re okay with putting what victor did behind us?

Nick: I’m good. I mean it. So, just because I’m not sticking around for breakfast, it doesn’t give you permission to skip it. Okay? I want you to call up some food and then promise me you’re gonna take your vitamins.

Sally: I promise.

Nick: That’s my girl. Maybe just one more.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Bye.

Sally: Bye. [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens, closes ] Well, you heard the man. Let’s get to work. Oh…

Adam: Let’s check back in about connor later.

Chelsea: Of course. And adam–

Adam: Yeah.

Chelsea: You got a lot of time before the baby’s born. Connor will come to terms with being a big brother. It’s just been years of endless change for him and I think he’s hit his limit. But once he meets his baby sister, he will adjust.

Adam: I really wanna believe that. Billy.

Billy: Good morning. Hi. Look at you.

Chelsea: Hi. What about me?

Billy: Well, you’re smiling and seeing you smile makes me very happy.

Chelsea: Oh, well, that’s a very sweet thing to say.

Billy: And, you know, adam was surprisingly civil, so maybe things are coming up roses. How’s everything with connor? Is that getting any better? Is he still giving you the silent treatment?

Chelsea: Well, he goes from being sullen and moody to quiet and withdrawn. I don’t know what to do. I try giving him space. I try telling him I’m here if he wants to talk. I just think I need to come up with the perfect combination of what to say and how to say it in order for him to open up to me. I mean, adam’s trying, too. Billy, nothing’s working.

Billy: Well, I know you know this, but part of it is just his age.

Chelsea: I just wanna fix this for him and I don’t know how to do it.

Billy: Well, here’s the thing about what you went through, okay? You showed him that it’s okay to ask for help when you need it and to talk about your feelings, okay? So, don’t blame yourself for connor’s normal, if painful reaction to finding out he’s having a new sibling. He’s a bright kid and he trusts you.

Chelsea: Yeah. He’s just already been through so much in his short life. You know, even navigating the stuff between adam and me.

Billy: Well, you know what, that’s– that’s always a difficult situation for parents and for kids. And he’s not even a teenager yet. Okay? Wait ’til he crashes that party. He’s gonna want even more distance from you. Hopefully he’s not starting early.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I just wanna hold him. Tell him everything’s gonna be okay. [ Sighs ] But he won’t let me.

Nikki: So, what’s going on? You’re not yourself today.

Victoria: Oh, no. I’m fine. I’m fine. It’s just the travel.

Nikki: Mm-hmm. But you got back last night. So, why didn’t you go with nate to neil’s tribute?

Victoria: Because devon didn’t invite me. I assume that he’s still angry that I went after chancellor-winters.

Nikki: But I don’t think that’s what’s really bothering you. Something else is going on and it’s not jet lag. Did something happen? Victoria?

Victoria: Okay. Fine. Yes, something did happen.

Nikki: Business or personal?

Victoria: It started off as business, but my relationship with nate became much more personal.

Sally: Okay. So, great news. I think I found some really great candidates for our ergonomics expert and I thought maybe we could meet with them before presenting a choice to jill.

Chloe: Okay, perfect. And I’ve connected with a marketing and social media web guru who can get our new business on the map.

Sally: Look at us, firing on all cylinders.

Chloe: Until jill kills our deal.

Sally: That’s the sunny optimism we need.

Chloe: Well, she’s done it before.

Sally: Not this time. Okay? I’m sure that jill is on our side.

[ Phone ringing ]

Chloe: Is that her? Is it jill?

Sally: Jill, hi. We were just about to call you. You are going to love our latest ideas for your chicago offices and we actually have some staffing suggestions that–

Chloe: Oh… sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Elena: It is over. I told nate he could go straight to hell.

Audra: Uh, wow. How are you doing?

Elena: Well, I was beyond furious when I left la, but now I guess I am just numb.

Audra: Do you think you might forgive nate for his transgression?

Elena: [ Chuckles ] No. There is no going back for us. I couldn’t even sleep in our bed last night.

Audra: Mm.

Elena: I packed a suitcase, left my key, and I walked away.

Audra: You know, when you love someone, um, as much as you seem to love nate, you don’t just get over it and forget all the pain.

Elena: Even after I left, I couldn’t sleep. I just kept thinking about why I put so much energy into that relationship. And then it finally occurred to me that it was because of what we did to devon. I guess I felt like… if my relationship with nate wasn’t real and lasting, then I hurt devon for nothing.

Audra: No, I’m sure it wasn’t just for nothing.

Elena: I put everything I had into that relationship. I bent over backwards making excuses for nate. I held on to hope that he would somehow revert back into the man that I fell in love with. But I am done trying to save nate from himself. And I know that none of this is my fault. It’s all on him. And I’ve been disappointed with him since the day that he started working at chancellor-winters. But now… I’m just disgusted. So, victoria can have him. In fact, they deserve each other.

Nikki: So, when you say something more than business, am I to assume that you–

Victoria: Yes, mom, you can assume.

Nikki: Well, I’m very surprised to hear that because I thought nate and elena were still together.

Victoria: They were. Until she surprised us both and showed up at the hotel in los angeles. Apparently, she sensed that something was going on, so nate confessed.

Nikki: So, this has been going on for a while?

Victoria: Yes. This mutual attraction that we share has been building for some time. And you’re right, we have acted on it before this trip to los angeles.

Nikki: You know, I see so much of your father in you. You’re taking the same tone he would have, almost daring anybody who questions his decisions.

Victoria: And dad would be right in that regard. This is my life. I know what I feel. And nate and I, we tried very hard to keep things professional, but we can’t deny this connection that we have. And I’m sorry I can’t control what people think about that.

Nikki: Okay. All right. That’s fine. You feel the way you feel. But exactly what is this undeniable connection the two of you share? And have you taken a moment to consider how that might impact the company?

Nick: Morning, guys.

Billy: Hey.

Nick: Morning, dad.

Victor: Hey, son.

Nick: Just can’t help yourself, can you?

Victor: What are you talking about?

Nick: You keep interfering in sally’s life, but this time you’ve gone too far.

Victor: Really?

Nick: Now you don’t just wanna banish her from the family or genoa city, now you wanna take her baby away from her.

Sally: Thanks, jill.

Chloe: What did she say? Was it as bad as it sounded? Have we been fired before we’ve even been hired?

Sally: So, even though jill is still very intrigued by our pitch, she wants to wait. Just chancellor-winters has decided not to take on any large scale commercial projects for the foreseeable future. So, good news is it’s not a no, just a not right now.

Chloe: Well, it’s a good thing I didn’t order those 5,000 new desk lamps.

[ Sally scoffs ] So, now what?

[ Scoffs ] What, are we supposed to just sit around and wait? Or are we supposed to look elsewhere?

Sally: I don’t know. We’ve been so focused on the potential of this massive job that we haven’t even tried to pursue any other clients. I just was really counting on catching the big fish and using it as bait to open countless more doors for us.

Chloe: And without it, we have no portfolio and no track record to tout.

Sally: Yeah, unfortunately, we are back at square one.

[ Chloe sighs ]

Adam: What’s going on?

Chloe: Um, okay, well, I guess I should get going. Um, you know, I have to actually pick up some snacks for miles’ class party anyway. Just, we’ll talk tomorrow. Okay? And I don’t want you to stress anymore over this, because we are going to come back stronger and better than ever. How’s that for phony optimism?

[ Adam clearing throat ]

Adam: How bad is it?

Sally: Well, it appears that I won’t have any income coming in anytime soon. The design job that chloe and I were hoping to score has been postponed indefinitely.

Adam: I am sorry to hear that. Man, that’s bad timing. You would’ve done great in the job.

Sally: Yeah, I have a feeling we absolutely would’ve killed it. But unfortunately, chloe and i put all of our eggs in one basket. But at least I still have some savings to rely on, so…

Adam: Okay. I’m not liking the sound of that. Once you dip into that, it’s gone forever. I– I have another idea.

Sally: Okay. Please tell me you’re not talking about the trust for our daughter, because there’s absolutely no way that I’m gonna accept that for myself.

Adam: No, no. No, you’re misunderstanding me completely. I’m not offering you cash. I’m offering you a job, working for me. Good checkup?

[ Nick sighs ]

Chelsea: I wonder what that’s about.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] It’s victor being victor, you know? Spreading joy and sunshine everywhere he goes. Whatever it is, I think it’s best that we stay far away from that.

Chelsea: Oh, I agree, wholeheartedly. The last thing I need is victor using any of his classic victor newman moves to try to handle any of my son’s issues.

Billy: That’s a very good point. You know what? I think I might have a potential solution of my own on that matter. What about a– a classic distraction for the young man?

Chelsea: Like what?

Billy: Why don’t we plan another get-together for johnny and connor? You know, our boys always have a good time together. They happen to cheer each other up, which is always good. And it could be a fantastic reminder for connor that having a sibling– not all that bad.

Chelsea: I love that idea. Anything to get connor out of this funk.

Billy: Yeah.

Chelsea: Hey!

Chloe: Hey.

Chelsea: Uh-oh. I know that look. What’s wrong?

Chloe: Oh, a big fat disappointing setback.

Chelsea: What happened?

Chloe: Um, jill’s not moving forward with our project. And we were on such a roll. We were this close to signing a deal.

Billy: I’m sorry to hear that. Do you, uh– do you want me to put in a good word with my mother?

Chloe: Um, would that work? Does she ever listen to you?

Billy: First time for everything.

Chloe: [ Laughs ] Thanks, but no. I’m just, you know, gonna try to look on the bright side. I mean, it’s really hard to do considering the circumstances. I mean, you just think you’re gonna take over the world and everything just goes, “pfffft.”

Chelsea: I know what you need. A girl’s night. It’s been too long.

Chloe: [ Laughs ] No, what we need is a girls’ two week vacation–

Chelsea: Ah.

Chloe: But, um, yeah, I’ll settle for a night out.

Chelsea: Yeah, you’re right. If I don’t leave now, I’m gonna be late for therapy. I’m not letting you skate on a girl’s night. And as for you, I’ll call you later.

Billy: Sounds good.

Chelsea: Bye.

Chloe: Bye.

[ Footsteps receding ]

Chloe: Well, well, well. Look at you, mr. Responsibility. You’ve really stepped up.

Victor: So, that’s how sally spectra described our meeting? That I was ready to kidnap her child that hasn’t even been born yet? That’s a gross misinterpretation of what I intended.

Nick: We both know that’s not the case.

Victor: Do I have to remind you that we are the newmans? Do you know how many people over the past have tried to take advantage of us, and still do? That’s what I’m vigilant against.

Nick: She’s having a baby. That is your defense?

Victor: I will not be taken advantage of.

Nick: Okay, so, you’re trying to pay off the mother of your granddaughter. That is an overreaction. But thankfully, sally told you she is not for sale.

Victor: Huh? Has it occurred to you that by turning me down, she was simply angling for, you know, something more substantial? Upping the ante, as it were?

Nick: This is not a negotiation.

Victor: Everything is negotiable, son.

Nick: It’s not, dad. Not this. See, I know you would never try and take away a baby from its mother.

Victor: From the wrong mother, I damn well would.

Nick: No, you wouldn’T. It goes against everything that you stand for. This is one of your tests. But see, sally doesn’t know that. She thinks it’s a legitimate offer, but she turned you down. She passed your test. Leave her and the baby alone.

Sally: How am I supposed to work for you when you don’t even work anywhere yourself?

Adam: [ Scoffs ] I’m talking about mccall. It’s the most appealing offer on the table for me right now. And if it comes with the added benefit of providing you with gainful employment, what’s stopping you from taking me up on my offer?

Sally: Wait, hold on. An offer? So– so, you haven’t even accepted, but suddenly you would if it meant handing me a job?

Adam: Okay. Yeah. It wouldn’t all be for you. I’ve been leaning in this direction for quite a while now. I’ve been giving it some serious consideration ever since my dad mentioned it. I mean, I think it’s perfect, especially since I’ve been itching for a new challenge.

Sally: Don’t you think you’re getting a little ahead of yourself? Because knowing victor, the second you say you’re in, he’s probably gonna change his mind.

Adam: Okay, it’s– fair assessment, but not this time. And I know how companies like mccall work. There’s plenty of positions that you could fill. You could even be my coo again. Or how about a in-house design firm for any and all projects?

Sally: Adam–

Adam: Look, I know. Hey, how about this. You could name your own position. You could even bring chloe along.

Sally: Okay. Look, just– just slow down. Okay? This is way too much, too fast. I just need you to just take a second and think this through.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Okay? Because for one thing, victor would lose it if you brought me in. And if he really is the money behind the acquisition, there’s absolutely no way he’s gonna want me anywhere near his new company.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: Or his sons. He just got done pushing me to take a job far away from genoa city.

Adam: Wait, wait. My father did what?

Sally: He offered to set me up anywhere in the world, but not here. As long as I left the baby with him. But he assured me that she was gonna be taken care of under his watchful eye. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Adam: That’s why victor called you and he wanted to see you. I knew I should’ve gone with you.

Sally: Trust me, I handled it just fine on my own.

Adam: I do trust you. It’s him that I have a problem with.

Sally: Okay. Just please do me a favor, okay? Don’t go fanning the flames by confronting victor. The last thing that we need right now is to wave a red flag in front of the bull. Okay? I just had to talk nick out of doing the exact same thing.

Adam: Oh, and he listened? I’m surprised.

Sally: Yeah, me, too. But I wouldn’t have had to talk nick off the walls if you hadn’t tipped him off to victor’s summons.

Adam: Oh, come on. Give me a little credit for how I handled things with my brother. We actually found some common ground. Protecting you and the baby is at the top of both our priority lists.

Sally: I appreciate the impulse, but not the action. Look, I faced stuff like this my entire life, okay? And I’m not gonna pretend like it still doesn’t sting, but I don’t need protection from it.

Adam: Well, you shouldn’t have to. You should be resting right now and getting ready to have–

Sally: I’m not a damsel in distress, okay? You don’t have to save me. I’ve always fought my own battles.

Adam: Right. But now you’re not just fighting for yourself.

Audra: I hate seeing you like this.

Elena: Well, I appreciate your support. And I have a lot of big decisions to make. But I guess I should start heading to work.

Audra: Uh, and which job is that? Just asking.

Elena: The hospital. I have to make up a shift that I traded so that I could go to la. And I know why you asked. And no, I don’t know what’s gonna happen with my podcast at newman yet.

Audra: I mean, I can’t imagine it’ll be easy working for a company run by nate and victoria.

Elena: Yeah, you think?

Audra: Look, but then again, I don’t think you should turn your back on something you enjoy, especially when you’re so good at it. You should walk in there with your head held high and knock ’em dead. Yeah. Maybe follow up on that interview with J.T. Try and convince him to– to come in person. That would be a real slap in the face to victoria.

Victoria: Mom, please don’t be so worried. I am still on top of my game and nate is as well. I mean, how could the business suffer? I– I’m not gonna let anything interfere with newman continuing to flourish.

Nikki: You are entering into a personal relationship with a man who is fully ensconced in our business. I just worry about you being involved in something like that.

Victoria: Involved. Involved in what? Nate is a brilliant– and he’s– he’s a charming man.

Nikki: I’m not denying that. I’m just saying it sounds like your relationship is getting off on a bad footing.

Victoria: Mom, are you worried that I’m gonna get hurt? Don’t worry. I assure you, I’m fine.

Nikki: Okay, that’s fine. I just hope those don’t become famous last words.

[ Knock on door ]

Nikki: Hi.

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Nick, what’s wrong?

Nick: Oh, dad, uh, you know, he tried to dust off one of his old shady moves from the victor newman playbook.

Nikki: What has he done?

Nick: Tried to pay off sally.

[ Chuckles dryly ] He has completely ignored all of my warnings to steer clear of her.

Nikki: [ Exhales ] And I was just reminding your sister how your father plays by his own rules and doesn’t give a damn how it affects anybody else.

Victoria: Uh, yeah. And of course, I was shocked by those revelations.

Nikki: Okay. If you two will excuse me, I will give you some privacy so you can complain about your parents. Nicholas, can you come see me later?

Nick: Of course, mom.

[ Footsteps receding ]

[ Door shutting ] What’d I just walk in on?

Victoria: Just so you know, you don’t have to protect my privacy in regards to nate anymore.

Nick: Mom knows?

Victoria: Not just mom. Elena.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Elena knows?

Victoria: I’m not sure what happened, but I get the feeling from nate that things are probably over between them now.

Nick: Well, you say it like that, like it’s no big deal. How is that? Is it because you got what you wanted and nothing else matters? I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Sally: I get it. I’m fighting for two. But I still don’t need your help, adam, even if I’m going up against your father.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Okay. I understand the instinct. I will try not to step in where I am not welcome.

Sally: Thank you. I appreciate you restraining yourself.

Adam: But that– that’s not gonna stop me from trying to lure you to mccall. I would still like to work with you. I think that you would be happy with this position. I can guarantee good pay and exceptional maternity leave. Not to mention onsite daycare, maybe.

Sally: Guarantee, huh?

Adam: Mm-hmm. And a boss who fully respects you, and your brilliant ideas.

Sally: Stop trying to fix my problems.

Adam: I’m not. Mccall unlimited is a wreck and it’s gonna take a lot of help to get it back on track. And the only way for me to do that is to assemble the tightest, strongest team possible. You are what I’m looking for, sally. So, my offer stands.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: What makes you think that I’m stepping up? Why would you say that?

Chloe: It’s obvious how strong the bond between you and chelsea has become. Not only from what she’s told me, but from what I’ve witnessed firsthand. I mean, there’s definitely something going on here.

[ Billy clears throat ]

Billy: Let me just be perfectly clear. Okay? I genuinely care about chelsea. The feelings that I have, they’re not out of obligation and I’m not trying to play hero. So, I appreciate it, but I don’t need a pat on the back for that.

Chloe: I know that. ‘Cause I know you. You can change and adapt to this situation at hand. You changed a lot after delia died. And you’ve changed even more because of chelsea. She really needs someone, someone that she can count on, especially now. And as shocking as it is, you might be the one.

Victor: Well, you’re gonna have to wait for the press release to find out about the details. All right.

Adam: Dad?

Victor: Hello, son.

Adam: I think we have some unfinished business to discuss.

Victor: Yeah, I guess we do. So, um, my newly acquired company needs a new ceo.

Adam: And I am just the man for the job,

Victor: Ah.

Adam: But only on my terms.

Victor: Oh, I see. Huh. Let’s hear them.

Adam: I will accept the ceo position only if you agree to back off. Now, I know you have vast knowledge and experience, and I know you can be very valuable with helping me to achieve my goals. So, I will consult with you as needed, but only when it comes to the company. My daughter is off limits. Sally is off limits. That means there will be no offering her bribes, no browbeating her, and there will be no attempts to take her baby away from her.

[ Victor chuckles ]

Victor: So, sally spectra came running to both my sons in an attempt to turn them against their father, right?

Adam: You don’t know sally at all.

Victor: Mm.

Adam: I know this was one of your tests, and she didn’t take your offer, so she clearly passed. Now leave sally alone.

Victor: Your brother said the same thing, by the way.

Adam: I have stated my terms. Do you agree or not?

Victor: You know, son… I’m not someone who has terms dictated to him. But since you’re my son, I shall accept them, and I shall hang around until you need my advice. Because trust me, the time will come when you will need my advice. Meanwhile…

Adam: I believe we have a deal.

When moderate to severe

ulcerative colitis

Audra: You know, getting J.T. To do your podcast would be the perfect move. I mean, that is if you want some sweet revenge on victoria.

Elena: Hmm. Certainly something to think about.

Audra: Of course, uh, you need some time to regroup and reassess after all you’ve been through.

Elena: You should take precautions, too. If I were you, I would watch my back. Nate has no loyalties and he seems to think he can do no wrong. So, I wouldn’t sleep on his charming demeanor.

Audra: Don’t worry. I won’T.

Elena: Good luck.

[ Door opening, shutting ]

Nick: How can you not be a little affected breaking up a happy couple like nate and elena?

Victoria: Oh, god. What makes you so sure that they were all that happy in the first place?

Nick: It’s not the point.

Victoria: Fine, you’re right. I take no pleasure in elena’s pain.

Nick: Then why’d you do it? I warned you, going on this trip with nate was a mistake. You must have known how risky it was gonna be, but it’s almost like you got exactly what you wanted.

Victoria: You know…

[ Laughs ] I’m really not up for a lecture from you right now. Besides, think of how many times you told me to stay out of your relationship with sally. This is my life. It’s my decision. So, back off. Okay?

Nick: Sure. But you’re forgetting one important difference between the two situations.

Victoria: And what is that?

Nick: Well, sally, thanks to you, is no longer a part of newman enterprises. Nate, on the other hand, also thanks to you, is a very big part of it. Vic, I’m the coo of this company. That makes it my business. I trust the guy even less than I did before. If he’s not gonna be loyal to the woman he lives with or to his own family, what makes you think he’s gonna be loyal to you or to this company?

Victor: Well, son, now that we’ve decided that you will be the new ceo of my newly acquired company, let me ask you, how do you intend to proceed at mccall?

Adam: Well, that’s not really your business, is it? I have everything well in hand, including the announcement of my new position. I wrote it last night, so it’ll be out later today.

Victor: I’ll be damned. Really?

Adam: And I’m glad that you are exhibiting such great faith in me, because I’ve already made another major decision. I’ve offered sally a job of her choosing.

Victor: Huh? You think you should do that?

Adam: Well, as we agreed, I will not be dictated to, and this is non-negotiable. I will not allow you to override me on this. I expect you to stand back and let me staff up this company as I see fit.

Victor: But why her?

Adam: Doesn’t matter. Sally comes to work for mccall or you can find yourself another ceo.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ned: For the thousandth time, I did not turn them in.

It was a smart business tactic.

It was a gross betrayal.

I didn’t do it!

You double-crossed michael and drew with valentin when you tanked the merger with aurora by becoming chairman of the board of elq. Why do you expect us to believe you now?

Ok, I admit, I threw in my lot with valentin. But that is standard quartermaine family politics. It’s a far cry from turning drew and carly into the sec. Drew is family. The q’s stay loyal to each other.

You talking about me behind my back?

Drew, I heard you brought back dr. Obrecht from– oh!

Whoa, whoa, easy there. This is hardly a fair fight.

You ratted me out to the sec after I come to you. I come to you trying to put this family back together. This is what you do? Ned, guess what? You want a war? You got one.

You’re really doing this, huh?

You know I am. I do not need an ice pack.

The ice pack is for a sinus infection, which is a lot more effective if you’re lying down and not going to work.

Mom, we’ve been through this. I have had sinus infections before.

Well, then you know you probably need antibiotics and you definitely need rest.

I will rest after, ok? Spinelli has the kids. I’ll take the weekend to recover.

Why can’t you reschedule?

Because we are lucky that the home & heart shopping channel is letting us pitch our products again after what happened the last time we were there. Calling in sick at the last minute? Not an option. The future of my company is at stake.

[Coughing]

[Dramatic music]

Oh, I’m so glad you’re here. It’s so good to see you.

Try keeping me away. I heard that everyone has been found, they’re safe. Does this mean that obrecht can be willow’s donor? Is willow getting the transplant?

Yes, it looks like it’s happening. I mean, willow just started her final round of chemo. And they did put her in isolation, you know, to protect from possible infection.

Whatever anyone needs, gladys and I are here. I know that you are going through a lot yourself, since–

since I’m being investigated by the sec.

[Clears throat]

That’s funny, I didn’t realize we had an audience.

You did. You might want to consider locking your door, or at least closing it.

It’s entirely my fault. There’s something about saving the world that makes a woman act on impulse.

Marcus.

Portia.

Thank goodness you’re back. Oh, it’s been a nightmare.

I tried to get my field office involved. They balked. I couldn’t stand the stone wall and I lost my temper. I wound up getting detained.

Well, you’re not the only one. Robert scorpio almost got into trouble with the wsb.

I should have stayed. I could have gone with curtis. I could have gone with laura.

Don’t do that. It’s ok. Trina is safe. She’s on her way home.

Yes, but I still could have helped her more.

Maybe you still can. Trina might be on her way home, but she’s not out of danger, not while spencer cassadine is in her life.

You holding up ok?

I feel like I can breathe again. We made it.

We should be landing soon.

That’s good.

Yeah.

[Sighs] Well, we did it. We saved the day. The world has no idea.

Yeah. And as per the wsb, they never will.

Yeah, but it’s still good to have the W.

Winning exacts a high price. I can’t help but think about what I’ve had to pay to reach this moment.

[Dramatic music]

Are you insane?

Everyone needs to take it down a notch.

Having me picked up by federal agents and hauled off the second I get home– is that taking it down a notch? I just gotta know.

We all appreciate what you’ve done, drew.

No, I don’t need to be appreciated. Willow’s life was at stake. But not having me detained, that would have been appreciated.

Drew, I didn’t make that call. It wasn’t me!

Of course you did. You said you were gonna do it, man, and you did it.

This is a different side of you.

Ok, I don’t care how angry you are at ned, you do not bring violence into this house.

I can’t believe you’re defending him. I thought carly was your friend. Of all the petty and the spiteful things that you could have done, now you’re going to put carly through this now?

For the last time, I didn’t contact the sec.

Come on, ned, of course you’re gonna deny it. It’s disgusting. You wait until I leave, then you stab me in the back and you cover your tracks like the coward you are.

The timing couldn’t be worse, you know? My family needs me right now and I have no idea what’s going to happen with this sec business.

I’m so sorry, carly.

Thank you. But right now I just want to focus on willow’s health. And thank god drew found liesl and they’re home safe.

It’s a miracle. Gladys and I were so relieved when we heard.

Where is gladys?

She’s on the phone with a customer service issue.

Yes, a family emergency. No, I have to cancel our trip. That’s right. The deluxe spa package with all the add-ons. I know, I know. We were supposed to leave tonight, but like I said, family emergency. What do you mean non-refundable?

I thought deception stock stabilized.

For now, but in order to keep it that way, we have to take our company to the next level. And being blacklisted by the home shopping circuit, not particularly helpful.

I get it. But sasha’s on-air meltdown wasn’t her fault.

Oh no, trust me, I know that. But still, I had to call in favors to get us back on home & heart. Look, if our product is successful there, that will open doors for us. Everything is riding on this.

What new product?

Mom, we are launching a skincare product called the deceptor.

From the start, you know that spencer has been a problem. The whole reason that trina got involved with that esme prince mess was because he lied to her. And spencer keeps dragging trina into all these dangerous situations. And for some reason– some reason trina is always willing to forgive him.

You don’t have to break it down to me, portia. I do not trust that boy and his family one little bit. But I also know it is not the time to push trina on anything. I’m just thankful that she’s coming back to port charles and she’s safe.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, she’s safe now. But we both can’t ignore the fact that she would have never been on that boat in the first place if she wasn’t infatuated with spencer.

Want me to hold ace for a while?

No, it’s ok. I don’t mind. I’m just glad that we got him out of there and out of victor’s influence.

I still can’t believe you jumped off that boat before it was hit.

Hardly. I almost didn’T. When I heard the drones, I knew what they meant. I froze. My mind told me that I had to do something, but my feet were paralyzed. And then I heard your voice clear as day.

Really? What did I say?

You said, “spencer, you idiot, what are you doing? Get off the boat, jump.”

The one time you listen to me.

Yeah. I remembered your face and your voice and your laugh, and I knew that I had to get back to you. So before I could stop myself, I dove overboard. And I could see the explosion happening above me. And all I could feel were the shock waves going through the water. And I thought I was gonna drown. So I thought of you again and I swam to the top and I made my way to shore. Trina robinson, you saved my life.

I’m glad we came through this ordeal unscathed. But experience has taught me it’s the psychological scars that take the longest to heal.

Are you speaking for spencer and trina or for yourself?

Both, maybe.

Well, you have been dealing with the cassadines for a long time.

Yes, since I was trina’s age. My god, my feud with the cassadines, it’s gone on for what? 40 years. My goodness. It– it has affected me. It has changed me. You carrying around that kind of anger towards that family has been a weight on my soul. And now the haunted star and my last link to luke and the cassadines has exploded.

You’re right. It’s exploded, it’s gone and everything that was attached to it. Does that lift the weight?

That’s enough! You don’t come into my house and attack me with wild accusations.

I can’t stand being in the same room as you, ned. I’m out.

Drew, wait. Dad, can’t we talk about this calmly?

Look, you and michael tried to screw me out of elq by merging with aurora. And you told carly about it and that’s how this whole thing started. So don’t pretend like I’m the only one who’s making deals behind the other’s backs.

You wanted control and your ego wouldn’t let you consider anything else, ned. Well, congratulations, man, because now carly and I might go to prison. And you know what? At least you got what you wanted.

I had nothing to do with it!

[Dramatic music]

Leaving so soon?

If you’re asking me to apologize, that’s not gonna happen.

That’s the last thing I plan on doing.

So you’re moving into at-home skin care devices?

Yeah, yeah, we’re branching out. But brooklyn quit because she decided to become a full-time music manager. And lucy lost all credibility when she faked her own death. So it’s up to me to launch our hot new product and show people how excited we are about it. Achoo.

You don’t sound excited, you sound sick.

Mom, I took some medicine. It’ll get me through.

Ok. Are you sure you’re gonna be ok? Because I have to get to the station to see mac.

I’ll be fine.

Can I just give you some advice before I go? Delegate. This company cannot ride solely on your shoulders, no matter how capable or brilliant you are. I’ll be back with soup.

Well, could I reschedule? At your prices, I’d expect at least some flexibility, especially since our emergency is a family member dealing with cancer. Thanks for asking, by the way. My tone? What about your tone?

How are you doing? The whole heather webber fall out, I haven’t had time to check in.

I’m all right. I got my closure. I’m doing what I need to do to take care of myself.

Good. Don’t forget what they say on the airplane, you know?

Yeah, you need to put on your own oxygen mask before you can help anyone else.

That’s right.

[Laughs] Oh, hi.

Hi.

Carly, I’m so sorry about everything going on with you.

Thank you. We’re all just focusing on willow’s health right now.

Gladys, are you ok?

Well, I tried to cancel our trip. But the snooty hotel manager is refusing a refund. And I asked about rebooking, but he said it’s more expensive because of the high season.

Oh, book it.

Don’t you want to know the cost?

We can afford it.

Ok. I’ll book it right now.

What would I do without gladys?

I’m curious to see how my life will unfold now, you know? Maybe nicholas will come home. Or maybe I’ll just– just find the peace that I’ve been chasing after. [Laughs] I know that race. Chasing peace is more like a marathon. But I’m here if you need some cheering on.

Yeah, well, right back at you. I’m so grateful to you for everything you’ve done for us. My grandsons and i owe our lives to you.

Laura, I’ll always help you. But full disclosure, I had selfish reasons for making sure everyone made it home safely.

I hope things will open up a little more for you and trina now. You know, I didn’t want to pry before, but how are things going?

Something deep inside told me that I had to follow you onto that boat. I’ve never done anything that crazy in my life. But I don’t like to think about what might have happened if I hadn’T.

Neither do I. You think ace is going to remember? He was with that creepy nanny.

[Chuckles] I don’t know. He seems to be good.

Yeah.

Happy to be in your arms.

Yeah.

And we’ll get him checked out when we get home. And he’ll be surrounded by family.

I just want to protect him. I really love this little guy. – Saving the world? How exhilarating and so modest.

The only thing missing was robert.

Yeah, I was kind of busy at the time, stopping a situation from blowing up, literally.

I don’t want to interrupt story hour. So I will be on my–

diane, please, stay.

Do, because I was just leaving. And I’m sure you two have important legal things to discuss.

Uh… I, uh– I want to apologize.

No, no. I’ll settle for the truth.

[Dramatic music]

[Coughing] How dare drew barge in here and accuse me without a shred of evidence. Then again, what can I expect? My own family doesn’t even believe me.

We don’T.

I am not gonna get into what ned did or didn’t do. And I do not condone physical violence.

But?

Your actions not only helped willow, but they avenged luke. So you get a pass from me this time. So what are you going to do about the sec investigation?

Well, that’s for me and my lawyer to figure out, tracy. I’m not gonna spitball with you just to satisfy your curiosity.

Well, I was just wondering if you had considered who the sec is actually after? Is it you, a decorated former navy seal or carly corinthos?

Spencer.

Oh yeah, that’s right. She changed her name. Uh, yeah, and she is still the ex-wife and confidant of the most powerful mob boss in the state of new york. Don’t you think the sec might be interested in hearing any dirt she has on sonny?

So is the guardianship thing with gladys going well?

Absolutely. It’s given me the time and space to really put myself together, you know?

Good. That’s great. I mean, I have to admit, I was concerned, given gladys’ history.

Gladys is still gladys. But she has really stepped up for me, always acting with my best interests in mind. She’s been a real life saver.

That’s right, the upgraded package with the new dates. Perfect. I’ll check my email for the confirmation info. I look forward to my journey, too. Smug little creep. – Well, I mean, if you’re feeling better and you’re feeling more grounded, maybe you don’t need a guardian.

Honestly, at first, it was all I could think about. But barring one major difference of opinion, things have been going really smoothly. I guess I’ve gotten complacent.

[Phone chimes]

Oh, that is maxie texting. Work emergency. I should run.

Ok. All right, well, it was so good catching up with you and seeing you. Thanks for coming by.

Absolutely. I’ll be in touch.

Yes, please.

Yes. Bye, gladys.

There has to be a way. There has to be a way to keep trina away from spencer. Now you know it’s gonna be a mess, him trying to fight esme for her own child. And what’s he gonna do? He’s gonna pull trina right into that mess. And what if spencer tries to get trina to help him raise that child? And nicholas, what if nicholas comes back? All of a sudden, he comes back, wants to be a daddy again. What about then?

Portia, slow down. You’re just letting your mind take it all kind of worst case scenarios.

But all of them are possible though, aren’t they?

Ok, in the first place, if nicholas was to come back, he more than likely is going to get arrested for unlawful imprisonment. But you are forgetting the most important thing. We can’t tell trina what to do.

Ok, ok, so what you’re telling me is that you condone trina having a relationship and being in this messy lifestyle with spencer?

No, no, no. No, not even a little bit. All right, I don’t want my daughter anywhere near that boy or his lunatic family. But what are we supposed to do? If we forbid her to see him, that’s just gonna make it worse.

Trina needs to see how dangerous and destructive spencer is.

So you think she’s gonna listen to us? Or are you just gonna drive more distance between you and your daughter?

It was hard with trina after the wedding. Neither one of us knew what to say to each other, you know? But it’s gotten better since, slowly.

Well, after our time in greenland, it’s pretty obvious to me that she cares about you.

Yeah. I appreciate that. But… she still is hesitant about taking the dna test. She’s not ready. My fear is she never will be.

And what do you want?

I don’t think it matters what I want. I wasn’t the man who raised her. So it’s not for me to pressure her.

I just want my little brother to have the chance to be something that I never could be, a normal kid. I mean, look at what we just went through, all of the danger and the violence. And ace, you were right in the middle of that, weren’t you? I don’t want that kind of upheaval for him. My grandmother thinks that i need to be patient with esme. I know what is best for my little brother. I will protect him.

And you will.

You’re damn right. I’m more certain than ever that I will be my brother’s guardian.

Are you suggesting that I turn against carly to save myself?

I’m simply watching out for a member of my family, that’s what I do.

And what a family it is. Do me a favor, don’t help.

[Dramatic music]

I am your wife, and I will stand by you. But I’m not ok with this.

I swear on my grandmother lila’s memory, I did not call the sec. Tell me you believe me.

I’ll go get you that ice pack.

Anything to add?

I may regret this, but I believe you.

And you know, it’s not even trina’s fault she’s in this terrible position. I don’t want to put added pressure on her.

I see. And what about you and portia?

Laura, I don’t know.

Curtis, no matter what portia did wrong, she still brought that fabulous human being into the world. Now I don’t want to compare nicholas with portia, but nicholas’ indiscretion is what gave me that wonderful little grandson. And if it turns out that you are in fact the biological father of trina–

I would be so honored.

Ok. Then maybe you can do what I’m doing, which is I balance out my feelings of anger and disappointment in nicholas with happiness that something really good came out of it.

No, the wound is still too fresh. Maybe you can let go of your anger. But for me, it’s easier said than done.

Oh, of course it is, it is. But we should still try.

No, no, uh-uh, you hate the cassadines, you have ever since nicholas was involved with your sister. Don’t tell me now that you’re nonchalant about trina having a relationship with spencer.

I can’t stand the cassadines. I don’t want my daughter with one of them. But if we come down hard on her about her relationship with spencer, it’s gonna backfire in your face.

Then you do it then. She’s sensitive to you right now. She will listen to you. Tell her how dangerous that family is.

And have her pull away from me too?

[Sighs]

No, we gotta be realistic. Just think about what trina and spencer just went through.

Yeah. And it’s only gonna bring them closer together is what it’s gonna do.

Trina has always made up her own mind.

Yeah, but she’s wrong this time, she’s just wrong. And I don’t want her to learn the hard way. Spencer’s influence is growing on trina. And he’s leading her into dangerous situation after situation. He’s taking my daughter away from me when she’s the most vulnerable.

She called you from greenland, didn’t she?

Only because she knows my number by heart, marcus.

I’m willing to bet it’s because she knew that you’d be there to help and she wanted to hear her mother’s voice.

You have no idea how much I want that to be true. I’m just so afraid that I have damaged my relationship with trina and it’s beyond repair.

Holly, you’re back.

And still in one piece.

Oh, thank god everyone made it safe and sound.

Victor, not so much.

Do you see me crying? How’s ethan? Does he know?

Yes. I spoke to him. He’s back in australia. And I am so relieved. With victor dead, I’m like a whole new woman.

Fantastic. I don’t think I could be that optimistic after everything you’ve been through.

Well, when you almost lose everything, it clarifies what you want to hold on to, which is why I’m here. I wanted to talk to robert.

Oh, how’d that go?

Well, let’s just say our conversation ended with a kiss, a very nice kiss.

Holly kissed me and I was totally taken aback.

You misunderstand me. I don’t care who kissed who behind the bleachers during seventh period. I’d rather not know the particulars.

Well, then what do you want?

Clarification.

[Clears throat] Because I will not build a relationship with a man who doesn’t want to be with me.

I am totally enjoying the time we’ve spent together.

The time we’ve spent together. Well, consider me swept off my feet.

Look, give me a break here. I’m not too good at this touchy-feely stuff.

Yeah, yeah, I’m beginning to understand that. So I’m gonna make it real simple for you, robert. Because the direct way is the best way. So here it goes. I will not be in competition for your feelings, especially not when my competition is the love of your life.

I’m so happy to see you. How’d it go with the sec?

Not great. No, but sam did call diane for me so that’s gonna help a lot. But we really gotta talk about our next steps, ok? And I kind of let my anger get the best of me.

What did you do?

I punched ned in the face.

Really?

Yeah.

Is he ok?

Well, he’s gonna be fine. But the weird thing is, he insists it wasn’t him, even after I hit him.

Michael, josslyn, sonny, that’s all, no one else knew.

And olivia.

Well, then olivia told ned. Oh come on, we know it was ned. He threatened us, specifically you.

Ok, well, the bottom line is, the date of the stock purchase that implies insider trading.

Then it has to be ned. Who else stood to gain from pointing that out to the sec?

You believe me?

Did you really mean what you said about great grandmother lila?

Of course. I would never take her name in vain.

Then yes, I believe you.

That means the world to me. Oh. I appreciate your faith. Now I need to find some aspirin.

My granddaughter, the humanitarian.

Why doesn’t that sound like a compliment?

While we have some time alone together, I need to speak with you about a certain matter.

Can this wait? I was hoping to stop–

not so fast. You need to hear what I have to say.

Does that surprise you?

Well, I don’t want to speak out of turn, but robert is kind of seeing someone.

Yeah, diane miller, yeah. I wasn’t sure, but then she walked in on robert and me kissing and the look on her face spoke volumes.

Well, for the record, diane is good people.

Well, hopefully, she’ll understand that robert and I have been dancing around each other for years. We have history that isn’t finished yet. That’s why I came back to port charles. I want to tell robert exactly how I feel about him. Life’s too short, felicia.

I think it’s wonderful that you’re so sure about your feelings for robert. But do you know if he feels the same way?

Who’s talking about competition? I mean, holly and i have a lot of history.

History implies the past. What I just walked in on, definitely present.

Ok, so she kissed me and I didn’t exactly shrink in horror. But in some sense, I’m always gonna love holly, but as part of my past.

The more I get to know you, robert, the more I know not to expect some grand gesture or– or statement to prove how you feel about me. Although midday champagne, that’s very lovely. I will not build a relationship with a man who is preoccupied with someone else, hence my question. Have you really left holly behind?

Is something wrong?

Not necessarily. I recall you mentioning that you owed me for helping get chase reinstated. And you were wondering when I was going to ask you to pay up.

Yeah, you accused me of being just like my father, only thinking in terms of money and stock market shenanigans.

Well, relax. I’m not gonna ask you for money or stock. But there is something that you can do as perhaps a way of settling your account.

I just find it hard to believe that ned would be so cold blooded, like, especially while I was away trying to rescue liesl to save willow’s life.

Olivia must have been out of the loop because she would have warned me. How could ned be so stupid? Does he want to ruin his relationship?

On the other hand, there is an upside to this whole mess.

Ok, you’re gonna have to enlighten me on that one.

Well, we’re busted. Our secret’s out. Which means that I don’t have to look over my shoulder to do what I’ve been wanting to do since the moment I got back.

Oh, yeah? What’s that?

Come here, let me show you.

I’ll say this, if that kiss is any indication, then there is definitely still a spark between robert and me. But you know robert, he can be a bit slow to act.

Yeah, well, some might say cautious.

He needs time. Now that I’m back and free of encumbrances, there’s nothing to stand in our way.

Here’s what I know about me and holly. When I thought she’d been killed, it was like someone had kicked a hole in my stomach. The life went out of me. When I found her alive, ah, everything was so much lighter. Knowing that holly is alive and living her life is a whole lot different than wanting to live it with her.

Well, thank you. That was honest. It was also the long way around of saying that you’re still figuring things out. Robert, you take all the time you need. You got a lot of thinking to do. But don’t call me until you know what you want.

Thanks for getting here so quickly.

Of course. We would have picked you up some chicken soup on the way, but you said it was an emergency.

Yeah, we’re in a jam, ok? I am not fit for television. And we have to debut the deceptor today.

Well, tell home & heart you need to reschedule.

Uh-uh, no, none of that. I had to practically beg for this spot. And I still only got it because I promised them two free tickets to next year’s nurse’s ball.

Ok, no worries. I’m sure we can find someone to take your place.

You know, there’s only one person I trust to do the job. I know it’s gonna be difficult, but we have no choice. It’s gotta be you, sasha.

Thank you for talking me off the ledge–

you’re welcome.

And making me see reason. But most importantly, thank you for still being a friend, especially after everything.

Portia, I told you before, we’ll always be family.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Oh, there you’re darling. Morning. Did everybody make it off to work? Uh, Stefan and Gabi left, but uh, I just thought EJ in the kitchen. Oh, he’s not reprimanding the staff I heard. No, he was just about to take breakfast up to Nicole. Huh? Wow. Apparently she slept in.

Nicole. Nicole. Wake up.

Eric, what are you doing here? AJ could walk in any second. Give, I just saw Kayla. She told me. I told you what, you’re pregnant.

I have brought you some breakfast.

Nicole, what is it? What’s wrong?

Tony, you look surprised to see me. I am a little, uh, I just left you a voicemail.

Guess there’s no reception in the elevator. What did it say? Uh, just that I. Had a really nice time last night, but I, if you’re not feeling it and you wanna go back to being just friends, it’s all good.

And if I wanna be more than friends, is that all good too?

Watch your back because I’m still coming for you. That sure as hell sounds like a threat to me, commissioner. It does. So you just gonna stand there agreeing with me or you gonna finally arrest a person. We all know it. It’s terrorizing my family.

Please open up.

Police. Open the door now.

Is there a problem officer?

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

It’s detective actually. Detective Jada Hunter, I believe you know my sister. I’m sorry. Her name is Talia. Talia. Hunter name doesn’t ring a bell, I’m afraid. Really? And how do you explain it to witnesses that saw her leaving your room? You okay? Yeah. Uh, just a little, uh, nervous. I guess. Like I said, I, I had a really nice time on our date last night, but I, it got kind of awkward towards the end.

And then since I didn’t hear from you today, I just, I kind of assumed that you weren’t into me. Well, I hope these say otherwise. Thank you. They’re beautiful, Talia. And just so you know, um, I’m, I’m kind of nervous too. I’m glad I’m not the only one. Look, Chanel, I really like you and I love how chill things have been since we met.

You think we can kind of shake the nerves and get back there? Definitely.

Would you like to come in?

I believe Abe told you I, I’ve been having panic attacks. Yeah, he did. And I’m sorry to hear that. Yeah, well they’re no fun, that’s for sure. Oh. But um, you know, Jada’s sister taught you, she was kind enough too. Uh, teach me these breathing exercises. Thing is, I don’t know how much long I can hold my breath waiting for you to do what needs to be done.

And that’s for you to arrest Sloan Peterson. I assure you the minute that I give I don’t want your assurances. Ray, I want you to lock up that bottle. Blonde bitch man, throw in. Hey boyfriends, I missed you last night. Oh my. What happened? Did you run into a door or something? No, he’s fist You suck. A punch Me.

What? When? Right after he found out I slept in Nicole From you

are. I’m fine, I’m fine. I just had a strange dream about what you know. I don’t remember. I clearly, I’ve said you perhaps a little breakfast was selling your enough ej. This is very thoughtful, but don’t you think we should get to the office? Don’t you worry about that. Okay. You know, I love to be pampered, but I don’t need to skip work.

I’m fine. Oh, I’m sorry about being overprotective. I was just so worried yesterday when I found out you were taken to the hospital.

I’m glad it was nothing serious. All right. It’s nothing serious. You said it was just early symptoms of menopause.

You were being honest with me about that, weren’t you?

Ej, of course, I’m being honest with you, I’m just not thrilled about my current condition. You, my dear, have nothing to worry about. Like a fine wine. You only get better with age. Ooh, nothing like being compared to a decile bottle in a shelf. What I mean is that with every passing day, I find you more and more intoxicated.

We have known each other for a very long time, and I can say unequivocally that you have never been more radiant and alluring than you are right now.

Okay? Allow me, Jay, and Tamira, you are spoiling me. You deserve to be spoiled. Ooh. I don’t know about that. But as I, as I told you the other night, I have noticed the effort, effort you’ve made. Show me that I’m important to you and that means so much to me, and I’m also grateful. You’ve been so cool about Eric and me.

Now you’ve both slept together. Oh God, you can say it. You can say it and why wouldn’t I be cool about it? You told me. I meant nothing. I didn’t and we were, we’re not in our right minds. Which is why I’ve decided to let it go. It was an isolated incident that changes nothing between us, so I see no reason why we can’t forget all about it and move on.

Guilty is charged. I mean, I. I ran into EJ last night and I told him that, you know, I caught you and Nicole in bet together. I assumed he knew. Is there any particular reason why you didn’t gimme a heads up? Well, I was under the impression that EJ was just gonna let it go. God, I can’t believe he punched you.

I mean, I’m so sorry. No, it’s okay. I’m fine. Fine. How is this fine. You were assaulted Eric. I mean, this could have all been avoided, had Nicole just told EJ herself. You, you guys did nothing wrong. Okay. I mean, this only happened because those biscuits were drugs. I mean, it didn’t mean anything. Right. Yeah, right.

God, if EJ would just stop targeting you and he would just turn his focus to Chanel, the Demonn Baker of Salem. I mean, thank God the Health Department shut her down before she killed someone. You know, the health Department shut down my baby’s bakery even though, you know, had nothing to do with those tainted biscuits.

I know that. I’m sorry. I feel terrible for everything junior family are going through. Oh. How you feel? Doesn’t help me rap. I need you to do get up there and arrest the Luna. Tickle who’s trying to ruin our lives. As I have said before, I can’t do anything without evidence. Where’s your damn evidence? Okay.

Yeah. It’s from a block number, probably a burner phone. Well, of course that woman’s not stupid enough to use her own phone. Yeah. Which is why there is no proof that Sloan sent it, and why we can’t be sure that someone else isn’t responsible for this. The tainted biscuits, the trashing of your office and the threatening messages.

Oh, no, no, not this, not this again. Are you really going to waste more of my time and your breath trying to tell me the threat is coming from that sweet girl Talia. I’m sorry, who exactly was it that said they saw your sister Talia? Right. Coming outta my room, Chloe Lane. Does that name ring a bell? No. No it doesn’t.

Okay. How about Xander Cook, large man Scottish accent. He said you two had some words. I see. Yeah, you were talking about my nosy neighbor. He’s a bit of a winker. That one. Be that as it may, Mr. Cook and Ms. Lane both remember seeing Talia leaving this room the other day, but you’re insisting that she was never here.

And that you do not know her. Is that right? What was all of this about? Is your sister in some kind of trouble? I certainly hope not, but you will be if you don’t start answering my questions. So let’s start with an easy one. What’s your name? Colin. Colin What? Faith. Seriously. It’s quite a coincidence really.

Tons of people actually ask me for my autograph. Well, you don’t have to worry about that with me, but I am gonna ask you to show me some id.

Hello? A latte. Fancy. Yeah. My mom had this espresso machine flown in from. Italy for Abe and don’t tell mama, but Abe privately told me that he prefers instant. This stuff is way too strong for him. They still make instant coffee. Yeah. Mr. Mayor is old school. Anyway, I made it just the way you like it. I hope you did.

Yes, I promise. It’s great. And um, so is this, you know, hanging here together. I agree. But, um, Talia, what changed? What do you mean? Well, you didn’t seem nearly as comfortable last night. You seemed distant. In fact, this plan, Colin, it’s, it’s all sorts of twisted. You’re asking me to seduce her and, and then break her heart.

You’re right, Chanel. I wasn’t comfortable on our date and um, I owe it to you to tell you why.

Nicole. Oh, Anna. Hi. Hi. I just. Just came up to see if you’re feeling better today. Physically. I’m fine emotionally. I’m not so sure. Honey, what’s wrong? EJ found out about my secret. You mean the secret? The one you shared with me a few weeks ago? Yeah, that one. Yeah. Honestly, EJ didn’t hear it from me. I didn’t.

I didn’t tell his soul. Not even Tony, Anna. No, you have to believe me, honey. I honestly would never betray your trust that way, Anna. That’s okay. I know it wasn’t you. It was that. Ah, awful. Sloan Peterson. Eric,

I hope you know that I, I didn’t tell EJ about you and Nicole out of spite. Oh, God’s honest truth. I really thought he knew. I get that.

Sloan, I appreciate you being so understanding and and trusting because I know you’re a kind and loyal person, and you would never cheat on me if you hadn’t been out of your mind as you put it, that only EJ would’ve had a similar reaction.

Ah, Tony old chap looks like it is going to be a beautiful day. I hope you and Anna will be able to go outside and enjoy it. Well, you seem to be in a good mood today. Why wouldn’t I be? Well, I’m just glad that you’re no longer brooding. Have that secret Nicole’s keeping from you. Oh, then actually I found out what that is.

Oh, and judging from your chipper mood, I assume that it turned out to be rather trivial, just like I assured you it would.

Tell me why was Nicole’s secret? Did she book her a Amanda getaway for the turvy? Oh, she you, that timepiece she had your eye on? Nope. She slept with Eric Brady.

And why do you want to see my id? Is there a reason you don’t wanna show it to me? Do you have a warrant? Do I need one? I’m just trying to figure out the nature of your visit. Detective, you’re referred to the two people who claim to have seen your sister coming from my room as witnesses. Does that mean you’re investigating some sort of crime?

Underage prostitution? Perhaps. What? When a woman is coming and going from different motel rooms, okay, hold it right there. Talia is not a prostitute and she’s not underage. And see, sounds like the nature of your visit is more personal as opposed to official. Damn right is personal. This is my sister we’re talking about.

Course now I see why you’re so rattled too. If I knew someone had hurt someone in my family, I’d make damn sure the answer to me. I wasn’t comfortable on our date because in all honesty, this is all new to me. Being with girls, you mean? No, actually being in a romantic situation. I don’t have much experience with guys either.

No. Stop it. Talia. I’ve seen the way guys look at you when they come into the bakery. They’re so busy staring at you that they almost forget to order you. Shouldn not staring at you. No, they are not. But how is it possible that you haven’t had like a zillion boyfriends? Well, okay, in high school when my friends went to prom, I was too busy studying for my AP chemistry tests.

Yeah. And then when I got to college, I was so obsessed with getting good grades to get into med school. So when I finally got into med school, yeah, you can just kiss the whole dating thing goodbye. Mm. And if I was lucky enough to have a few free hours, all I wanted to do sleep. Mm. Total opposite of me. I did get good grades, but I was so busy partying in my free time, so I was closing down bars and clubs on two continents.

Wow. I was closing down the library. Oh my God. He must think I’m like such a dork or something. No, no, not at all. I just think you found your focus a lot sooner than I did. So when did you find yours? Well, I definitely didn’t have it. When I first got to Salem, I was a hot mess. And then my mama got, uh, Lonnie, my big sister, to talk some sense into me.

And boy did she ever, she told me that I had all these opportunities and advantages and she, she made me realize that I was just throwing them all away. And so then I, I decided I didn’t wanna do that anymore. I wanted to turn my life around, and you did. Lonnie said that if I wanted to make my dreams come true, then there were no shortcuts.

It’s all about hard work. And so I buckled down and I got serious and. They paid off, and that is why even though it hurts to see sweet bits being shut down, I will not stop fighting back against the haters that made it happen. There is no way in hell that they are going to win. Look at you. You’re a real badass, aren’t you?

Yep. Just like my mama,

Talia Hunter is a lovely young woman, hardworking, smart, kind. How could you possibly think she’s behind any of this? I told you I don’t. There was a brief period in time when we had some questions, but she was able to answer all those and she has no motive. Unlike that psychopath, Sloan Peterson, who came to town with the express purpose of getting revenge on me and my baby girl.

What do you want me to do? How about your job? I tune into Peacock every single day to watch lower and order. So I know the drill. Get the perp in the room, sit ’em in a tiny room, get ’em under those lights, and then gorilla. And then crocker like a bad eggs. She is All right. Okay. Like a bring Sloan down here for questioning.

But as you already know, detective Hunter executed a search warrant at her place and they found nothing. Additionally, Sloane came down here and she gave her phone to our tech team, and there was no incriminating evidence. Oh, just gimme, gimme, gimme five minutes along with, behind that tiny room. Five minutes.

Fucking happen. No. Ooh, you hang here. Oh, sit down. Oh, do your breathing exercises take. Just sit and breathe.

Commissioner to what do I owe the displeasure someone in need of a good defense attorney. Well, somebody is going to. Paulina Price. Just received another threatening text message. You want me to come in for questioning? I would appreciate the cooperation. I can even send a car for you. Don’t bother. I know the way.

Great. We’ll see you soon.

Let me go to the station with you. Oh, I’m a big girl. I can fight my own battles. Especially Raven is a NT crew of morons. All right. Just know I got you back and all of me.

Wow. EJ knows. That you’ve slept with Eric and he hasn’t blown a gasket. That’s one for the books, huh? Oh, that’s because he knows. It only happens because Eric and I were high. All right. Right. Yeah. Well, so turns out you had nothing to worry about after all, and yet you look pretty worried right now.

Actually, and I, I am, because now I have to figure out what to do with this new secret that I’m keeping from him. What New secret? Oh yeah. You’re not gonna believe this because I can hardly believe it myself. Nothing shocks me anymore. Whatever it is. You can just lay it on me.

I’m pregnant and, and I don’t know if the father is EJ or Eric.

So Nicole slept with Eric only because they’ve been drugged by those bloody biscuits. The judgment was severely impaired just like mine was when I, yeah, when your acid assets ended up on a cup machine in Tamara. You seem surprisingly calm about all of this. Oh, believe me, when I first found out I was enraged, but I finally came to my senses, I realized that what happened between Nicole and her ex was meaningless.

And so I, uh, I feel better.

Feel better. Yes. Those, those exercises really do. Okay. Ah, Ms. Peterson, thank you for coming in. Well, I’ve got nothing to hide so you can even look through my phone, but just like last time, you won’t find anything. Of course not. We aren’t stupid enough to think that you’d use your own phone to send me those text messages.

Rolling. Would you let me handle this, please? We know the text messages that she received on her phone were not sent from your phone. Yeah. We also know that doesn’t mean a damn thing, so quit stalling and confess. Are you Rafe Snow Deputy? You lucky I don’t have Badge A gun. Look. Do you have any evidence implicating me?

No. And do you have any more questions you’d like to ask? I do actually, but just one. Did you send that text, Paulina? From a burner phone, I did not let me repeat myself for the people who might be too slow to catch it. I did not send that text.

I think we’re done here. No. No, we are not. No, no. Uhuh. We’re not done here. Not even close. You wicked long. You little suck your bus. You are going to pay for what you put us through. You can call me names all you want, Ms. Price, but that doesn’t change the facts. I didn’t send you that text. I didn’t write you those letters.

And I sure as hell to drug those biscuits. Your daughter, so gleefully handed out to half the town. I’m just Leave, leave, leave. What your Oh, I can’t walk. Can’t stand beside of it. And one more. Fact that you may wanna be aware of. It’s clear I’m not the only one in this town who wants to see you suffer. So if I were you, I would watch my back.

Okay? Be honest. Is it weird that I’m so inexperienced? No. Weird. No, no, no, no. Just, um, surprising. Like I said, the way you kiss, I never would’ve known. So there must have been someone that you had some practice with?

Uh, yeah. There was this guy that I met in New York right after med school. We had an instant connection To say I feel hard doesn’t even come close to describing it. I swear I do anything for that man still. I’m sorry. You just said would as in present tense, like you’re still with him.

You care about your family? I’m calling very much sir. Then you get while I’m worried about my sister. Look, I’m not here to get anyone jammed up. I am here purely out of concern for Talia. So why don’t you tell me how you know her? Once again, I don’t know her. We both know that’s a lie. As I said to that Scottish wanker, I am under no obligation to answer any questions about who enters or exits my room.

You will be if I get a warrant and once the courts are involved, believe me, it’s going to get very complicated. I’m going to close the door now, detective, and I would appreciate it if you went away. Rest assured. Mr. Firth, I’m going to find out who you are and how you know my sister and you will talk again.

I was at the hospital last night and I realized that my period was late. So Kayla ran some tests and it turns out that I’m pregnant with Eric’s baby. No, I mean, ma, maybe. But Anna didn’t you hear me say I don’t know who the father is. Okay, so it could be ej? Yes. Or Eric? Yes. Or Eric. I don’t know why this is so difficult to understand.

I don’t know who the baby’s father is because, because of timing or, or the drugs or Because of the one night stand with Eric. I mean, I should be happy that I’m pregnant, but I don’t know if I could carry the baby full term because of my past. But if God willing, I somehow can, honey, if you can God willing, carry the baby to full term, who do you hope is the Father?

So you punched Eric and that was that? Oh, hardly. I came back here, all fired up, ready to confront Nicole, and then Gabi told me she was at the hospital. In that moment when my anger turned to fear, my only concern was finding out if she was all right. Isn’t, thank goodness she is. Hmm. But what I don’t understand is why Nicole felt she had to lie to you.

Oh, uh, stupid question. Because she knew you’d go ballistic if she happened. Right. And I did in the ego ballistic, as I said. But we discussed it and Nicole assured me that this little drug-induced twist with Iraqs was a mistake and would never happen again. And I believed her, so I decided to let it go.

I’m so glad to hear that. And that she’s put your mind at ease. Indeed, Nicole has made it very clear that she has completely moved on from Eric. Now, the only thing those two share are memories, and once they fade, there’ll be nothing. Nothing at all, and binds them together.

I, I know this is gonna sound terrible. But I, I don’t know. I don’t know. I want the father to be, they just want the baby to be healthy. That’s the most important thing. Yes. Yes, it is.

This is a high risk pregnancy and as I said, I don’t, I don’t know if I can carry the baby to term. Oh honey, I’m so sorry. This is so difficult for you, but I’m very honored that you felt you could confide in me about it and you’d need to know that I am here for you, whatever you need, even if it’s just to talk.

Thank you, Anna. I’m very grateful for your support

Until I know who the father is, I don’t want each here to know that I’m pregnant. Oh, he’s. Can you keep this to yourself? Oh, don’t, don’t worry. Of course, your secret is safe with me. Thank you.

You heard what Sloan said, that I should watch my back. The exact phrase I was use in that text. She’s toying with us, RA glowing about how she’s getting away with all of this. She’s not getting away with anything. I didn’t see you slap the cuffs on her. How many times do I have to say it? I cannot arrest a person without evidence and using a vaguely suspicious phrase, unfortunately does not constitute evidence.

Oh, so in other words, you just, you called her down here for nothing. I called her down here to ask her if she had sent the text. I told you to grill her. You lightly sauteed her. Let her just walk out of the room. You know, I’ve had enough of this nonsense. I’m calling the Da da. Trask was drugged by those biscuits, as was I.

And I’m telling you something, we are not taking this lightly. We are not gonna arrest until we find the person who is responsible for these crimes. It just might take a little longer than it does on law and order. Okay? Okay. Okay. You should have grilled her. Oh my God.

Okay, boss. Yeah. Doing breathing exercises. Does it have anything to do with Paulina? Just leaving right now. Looking really grim. She just wants this all to stop. We’re doing her best. Oh, Paulina disagrees and certainly didn’t help that. She got another threatening text while she was here. She insisted I drag Sloan down here and of course Sloan denied that she sent a text.

I denied that she’s involved at all and blamed someone else. Maybe it was Colin Firth. What the actor? No, the lion swine. I just had a little talk with. No, no, no. I’m staying out with the guy. We broke up. What happened,

Talia, I love you. I love you. Let’s just say, um, it got a little intense. Oh yeah, it’s definitely been there. Now listen, Talia, I want you to know that there is no pressure here. Okay? I’m, I’m fine with us being just friends. Maybe we shouldn’t rush into anything. I, I’m cool with how we are right now. I’m thinking that this whole really whistleblower thing, Done us a favor.

Know where the cops distracted. Maybe it’s time to turn up to you on Chanel. Why be cool when we can be so hot together? Chanel, I want, I want you.

So Zander and Chloe Satya coming out of a room in the motel, right? So I went over there and I knocked on the door and this man answered, but he dodged all of my questions. Oh, what are you thinking? Well, we keep saying how my sister has no motive, but what if this man is her motive? Damn, I did not believe, I forgot my name is said.

His name is Colin. Gave me some fake last name. Firth. Well, I assume it’s fake anyway, because he refused to show me any id. Well, I wonder if anyone works at the White Dove knows what he’s been up to. I’m not sure. It is clear to me that the British guy standing room 1 0 6 is not the kind of trouble that any girl needs.

And you can scare me off. Think again. Go away. Detective Hunter, I have nothing more to say to you. No, no, no. This is not Detective Hunter and I have a hell of a lot to say to you.

Hello sis. Long time, no.

You think I should go talk to this guy? No. He made it very clear that unless we have a warrant, he’s not going to cooperate. Yeah. Well we need cause for a warrant. But we don’t need cause to talk to my sister. You know, if this loser won’t answer any of my questions, maybe Talia will.

Are you sure about this?

My love AJ suggested because it’s such a beautiful day. That we should get out and well, shall we go for a walk? Well, I’d love to. I’d love to darling. But first there is something I need to confess to you both. Um. I knew about Nicole and Eric. Oh, I know. No, it was, you know, Nicole confided in me. It was just between us girls.

But I, I hated keeping it from you. And I am truly sorry, ej. No need to apologize. All is well. Now that everything’s on the,

hi Kayla, it’s Nicole. I know we can’t do that DNA n a test for a few weeks with the paternity test, but I wanna make an appointment now. I need to know who the father of my baby is as soon as possible.

[ Heart beating ]

[ Clears throat ]

Steffy: Hey.

Hope: Oh, steffy. What’s up?

Steffy: We have to talk. About what I saw between you and my brother.

Taylor: Look at my boy hard at work.

Thomas: [ Laughs ] Sorry. I was in the zone.

Taylor: I know, I can see that and here I am breaking your concentration.

Thomas: No, not at all. I’m never too busy for you.

Taylor: You are just being sweet. I know. But I do love seeing you here at forrester creations. Following in your dad and granddad’s footsteps.

Thomas: You know, I hear it runs in the blood.

Taylor: Yeah, it does. But you know what? You have your very own way of doing things. You know? Not just– not just here at work but in life as well. You’re gonna make it happen. And shock ’em all.

Liam: I mean, it’s a good– it’s a good idea. I just don’t know how you implement something like that.

Wyatt: Well, that’s the thing. I have a top coder worker on it right now. We’re building up the platform and we’ll take a look at it.

Liam: So basically, it’s like a– it’s like a daily roundup of just what– like, whatever the top influencers are posting about.

Wyatt: Right. Correct. Yes. But we’re just arranging it in a way to make it appealing, you know, one-stop shop.

Liam: That’s interesting.

Wyatt: Yeah?

Liam: I mean, it’s– it’s more convenient for the user because it kind of like streamlines the whole retail experience.

Wyatt: Exactly. And you know what else I was thinking, we should maybe reach out to hope and see if the fashion houses might be able to utilize something like this. You know what I mean? Oh! Or better yet. I can’t believe I didn’t even think of this. Like, you should maybe reach out to her top designer, because I know you can’t wait to talk to him.

Liam: Wow!

[ Wyatt laughs ] Wow!

Wyatt: You don’t– no?

[ Laughs sarcastically ]

Liam: Yeah, too soon. Too soon.

Wyatt: I’m sorry, I just– I couldn’t help myself.

Liam: Oh, you couldn’t? Thomas forrester spends 12 hours a day with my wife and he lives rent-free in my head. But– but wyatt couldn’t help himself, so– so– so there’s that.

Wyatt: I’m sorry! Okay? But it’s a damn good idea, isn’t it?

Liam: I hope to god you’re talking about the app.

Wyatt: Of course, I’m talking about the app! But it’s not just an app, it’s the app of all apps. I’m telling you. If we build this right, and we market it correctly, this could be eight figures, easy.

Liam: It does have potential.

Wyatt: See? And then think about the monthly subscriptions.

Liam: Ooh.

Wyatt: Mm. Maybe I should talk to thomas’s people about this. And just ask.

Liam: Oh, my god! You’re the worst person. Ever. Do you understand I’m trying to get thomas out of my head and you just keep shoving him back in again? Stop it, stop, stop it.

Taylor: I just– I am– I am just so impressed with everything that you’re doing.

Thomas: I never get tired of hearing you say that. Well, good because I– I say it every day.

Thomas: Yeah, you do. That’s true.

Taylor: You know, it’s just, I– I see so much of your dad in you, when it comes to finding the inspiration in your designs. You just get so laser-focused.

Thomas: Yeah. So long as I’m laser-focused on hope for the future and not hope, right, mom?

Hope: This is about thomas again?

Steffy: Hope, you were clutching his hands. You were gazing into his eyes–

Hope: Steffy, you’re making a bigger deal out of that moment than it has to be. I mean, we were excited about the numbers. What more do you want me to say?

Steffy: I just need to know. I need to be 100% certain that you have no inappropriate feelings towards my brother. (Tap, tap)

Wyatt: Look, I’m trying to make light of the situation.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah. No, no, I clocked that.

Wyatt: I’m your brother. I’m trying a different tact here. I’m supposed to give you a hard time, aren’t I?

Liam: Okay. Actually, you know what– you know what the hardest thing about the whole thomas situation is? It’s just– it’s just me trying to predict when he’s gonna cross the line again. Like, precisely when is that gonna happen?

Wyatt: Because you know he will.

Liam: No, of course he will. I mean, this– nobody goes through a sweeping life change like that in a matter of months. And especially not thomas.

Wyatt: Yeah. I mean, it’s– it’s definitely not real, that’s for sure.

Liam: No, it’s definitely not real. Or at least it’s not– it’s not as real as everybody seems to think it is. Which is why I– I’m still keeping my eye on him.

Wyatt: Well, and hope’s doing the same thing though, right?

Liam: Yeah. Well, she– I mean, she says she’s, you know, always on the lookout for red flags. And, uh, you know, my job is to believe that, so–

Wyatt: Okay, good. ‘Cause hope’s not one to lie. So, you’ve got no reason to doubt her.

Liam: No, I– that’s right. I– I completely trust hope. She’s– it’s– it’s just frustrating that she works so much with thomas and that’s why I’m keeping my guard up because I just– it– work is one thing. I don’t want him to interfere in my marriage.

Taylor: So, do you remember– do you remember the, uh– your dad’s office at the old house? You used to sit on top of his big desk, eating a– a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And then– and then you’d tuck your little hands underneath you and you’d watch him draw for hours.

Thomas: Yeah, I remember now. That’s what started my love affair with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

[ Giggling ] Ah, those– those times from my childhood, they had such a huge impact on me.

Taylor: I know they did. And now look at you.

Thomas: No place I’d rather be.

Taylor: Yeah, I know. I know. And I– I just– I wish that you had a– a healthier balance between work and…

[Whispering] …Life.

Thomas: I go on dates, mom.

Taylor: Right. But nothing significant.

Thomas: [ Laughs ] Oh, man. Look at you. I could just– oh, you’re transparent.

Taylor: What are you–

Thomas: I see right through you. Come on, I can tell, obviously, you still are concerned about me and my feelings or potential feelings for hope.

Taylor: Oh, do you know what? Just because I come by and check on you every now and again, doesn’t–

Thomas: You mean every hour or two?

Taylor: That is my “smotherly” love. Deal with it.

Thomas: Okay. You’re right. I’m sorry. I– smother away. Because you love your kids. And I couldn’t be more grateful that I have someone who cares about me so much. Bring it in.

[ Taylor laughing ]

Hope: I thought we had already put this issue to rest.

Steffy: I need to be absolutely sure. There is so much riding on your partnership being successful. And not just for your line, but for thomas’s well-being.

Hope: Look, I get it. You’re being a protective sister, which I would do the same thing if I were in your shoes. But can I ask you an honest question, steffy? I mean, you and your family, you– you truly do believe that thomas has changed, right?

Steffy: Yes, absolutely.

Hope: Okay. So, then, am I not allowed to trust that? To appreciate the man that he’s become? Someone who is kind. Who doesn’t just think about himself. Who actually worked hard on the road to self-improvement.

Steffy: That’s why I don’t want you unraveling all the progress thomas has made.

Hope: Steffy, I would never do that. I am rooting for him just as much as you are. And what you walked in on–

Steffy: Holding his hands?

Hope: We were caught up in the moment.

Steffy: What kind of moment?

Hope: One of excitement. I mean, steffy, you know, better than anyone, that my line was on the brink of collapse and your brother helped save it. And not only that, we work together, we’re co-parents and yes, thomas is– is now a good friend of mine.

Steffy: That’s why I need reassurance that you don’t have any feelings for him.

Hope: Am I happy for thomas? Yes. Am I proud of him? Absolutely. But are there any romantic feelings, steffy? No, none at all. “Look at this skin, baby.

Taylor: Okay. So, you know I don’t just come here to– to check on you, right?

Thomas: I do. Yeah, I do.

Taylor: No, I– I– I come here because I– I also want to catch up and see your handsome face. Not just the serious stuff.

Thomas: No, you don’t want to just talk about the serious stuff. Like therapy and all my past trauma. What you want to know is, you know, if I’m getting enough vitamins or sleep.

Taylor: Are you?

Thomas: Yes.

Taylor: [ Giggles ] Okay, good. Now, honey, I am– I am, uh– I am here really for– for something very important and I– I just– I need you to be honest with me.

Thomas: Okay.

Taylor: Have you seen the season finale of–

Thomas: No, no. Why would I do that? That would– you– you watched it without me? Why would you–

Taylor: I might’ve–

Thomas: That’s– why? That’s– that’s really painful. Talk about trauma. You’re bringing more into my life. Why would you do that? Wow! Mom!

Taylor: You’ve been so busy! And it’s so good.

[ Groaning ]

Thomas: Oh, yeah. I’m so glad to hear that. So good. Can’t wait to watch it on my own. You’re– yeah. Okay. Look, you– you’re very sweet. And, um, honestly, I’m– I’m glad that you do check on me. Because… therapy and– and working through all this stuff, this is the reason that I’m actually making significant changes this time.

Taylor: I know. You’re doing so good. You are– you are truly committed to making a real shift happen.

Wyatt: These look good. And I’ll just take these back once they’re executed. All right. Thanks, margie. So… things with hope are good, then?

Liam: Things with hope are good. Yeah. They’d be great, if it weren’t for thomas, but they’re good.

Wyatt: Right. Look. I know that it’s hard, but you just, you gotta stay positive.

Liam: No, positive– look. You know me. I’m– I’m an optimist. It’s just been a challenge lately. We’ve had, you know, some disagreements and–

Wyatt: About thomas? Let’s see, we talked about this, once before? Twice?

Liam: Oh god. Yeah, I know. I know. I know. I know. I vent to you. I use you as a– as a vent. That’s– that’s our thing. You know what? It would be easier if I just didn’t have to, like, conform to the whole thomas-is-a-changed-man narrative thing. Right?

Wyatt: Right.

Liam: I mean, that– that’s been a challenge. That’s what’s created conflict between hope and me. In certain areas. In other areas, we’re actually, uh, pretty good.

Wyatt: Right. Other areas.

Liam: Yeah, other areas that I won’t go into too much detail about. Suffice it to say, there is this boutique shop on melrose that we’ve gone to a couple of times.

Wyatt: I’m gonna call thomas, how about that?

Liam: Okay, foul ball.

Wyatt: Okay, time out.

Liam: All right.

Wyatt: Time out.

Liam: It’s– everything’s fine. I have nothing to complain about. I have everything to be grateful for. As a matter of fact, hope has, really, I don’t think ever been as loving or affectionate, so…

Wyatt: Well, that’s good. Yeah, I’m glad. I’m happy for you both.

Liam: Thank you.

Wyatt: Look, it’s hard enough trying to keep up the romance when you got kids and jobs and family and all that. Not to mention when you have A…

[ Shuddering ] …Stupid face like thomas lurking around.

[ Chuckling ]

Liam: I’m– I’m, uh– I’m trying not to obsess too much over that stupid face lurking around. And in the meantime, one thing is clear, I’m just incredibly lucky to have hope in my life. Because there is no one more loyal or committed than her.

Hope: I don’t have any feelings for thomas. Nothing beyond friendship, collaboration and sharing a son together.

Steffy: Okay. I just want to make sure you’re not following some of brooke’s patterns.

Hope: Okay, steffy. I– we’re not talking about my mom right now. We’re talking about me, right? And I am my own person. I know myself. I know my boundaries, and while I may be brooke logan’s daughter, I am nothing like her when it comes to men. I would never do anything to undermine the life that I have built for myself and for my family. And I would certainly never do anything inappropriate with any man, let alone thomas. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Thomas: I wish I had time, I could take you to lunch.

Taylor: Oh, gosh, I would love that. I really would. But I– I know that you’re creating masterpieces and I have an entire day filled with patients.

Thomas: Well, I appreciate you coming by, seeing how I’m doing.

Taylor: Yeah. Always. Always. I’m– I’m– I’m not too smothering. Am I?

Thomas: No. Honestly, it’s been– it’s been pretty amazing having you and your support. I don’t know what I would have done without your faith in me. It’s really helped motivate me.

Taylor: You know, I am– I am just here to remind you that– that you’re not alone. And I see you. You know, what you’re doing today is just getting you that much closer to where you’ll be tomorrow. And I am just so proud that I get to ride shotgun on this journey with you.

Thomas: Well, I– I “lerve” you, mom.

Taylor: I “lerve” you back.

[ Both chuckling ]

Wyatt: Well, I’d say life is treating you pretty well. And you know what, I’m glad. Because I think you deserve all the happiness in the world.

Liam: Thanks, man. And that’s true. You know what, hope is… an immeasurable part of that. Just knowing that she’s– she’s there for me. She’s got my back. I can always count on her. The kids can always count on her. There’s nothing better than that.

Wyatt: Yeah. I mean, look, you– you lucked out when you married that one.

Liam: That’s true. There is no one more kind or compassionate, or with more integrity than hope logan.

Wyatt: Yep. Apple kind of fell far from the tree on that one, huh?

Liam: Hmm?

Wyatt: With brooke? I mean, I don’t mean any disrespect to brooke. Or anything–

Liam: No, no, no.

Wyatt: She’s a phenomenal woman, you know what I mean? But, I mean, come on, we heard the stories about her when she was younger, when she was hope’s age, you know? And–

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: And that whole thing.

Liam: Yeah, they’re– they’re different, you know. Different personalities, different, uh, value systems.

Wyatt: Yeah. It was just– sometimes, I– I– you know, it’s hard to believe that she’s hope’s mom.

[ Laughing ]

Liam: No, me too. Hope is definitely her own person. I mean, she’s so– she’s got, like, such a specific… moral code.

Wyatt: Right.

Liam: You know, and she sticks with it. She, like, never strays from it. But that’s– that’s great for me. That’s why I love her so much, right? Like, I never have to worry about that. I never have to question her fidelity. Or her commitment.

Hope: I mean, you know how much I love liam, how– how hard I fought for him and for our relationship. I mean, hell, steffy, I even fought you–

Steffy: I– I’m not– I’m not disputing your feelings for your husband. I know you love him. It’s just thomas has come a long way. He’s moved on from his dysfunctional ways. He’s not pining for you anymore. And I’d hate to see him get caught up in all of this again.

Hope: Thomas understands that there was never anything between us, there never will be. He’s finally accepted that. And that is why the line is in such a good place. It’s because he and I are finally on the same page. And thomas knows how much I love liam. And between you and me, I mean, liam and I, we’ve never been more connected. So, yes, while I may spend my days at work here with your brother, our relationship is purely platonic and professional. And I–

[ Clatter ] Oh, sorry. Just– yeah.

Steffy: Look, um, I’m happy that you and liam are in a good place. And hey, okay, maybe, maybe my imagination was running wild when I walked in on you and thomas.

Hope: I mean, I get it. I just– I think you were reading a little too far into things. I have a healthy working relationship with thomas. And I am happily married to liam.

Steffy: Okay. Just, things are going so well for our families and I– I don’t want anything to mess it up is all.

Hope: Well, you don’t have to worry about thomas and me. Okay? I promise.

Steffy: Okay.

Victoria: We’re focused strictly on work for now. I can only imagine how conflicted you must be, and I just want you to take time before you figure out what comes next.

Elena: So, this is what traveling on a business trip alone looks like? Looks like it’s been very productive.

Sharon: Refill?

Nate: Sure. Um, thanks, sharon.

Sharon: Wasn’t that a beautiful celebration of neil’s life tonight? Just all the memories, the people gathering to honor him, and devon’s mother made an appearance. That was a nice surprise.

Nate: Yeah.

Sharon: Okay. What’s wrong?

[ Elena sniffles ]

Nate: I wanna get back to what we had. Everything was so right. But we both have to be willing to try.

Elena: I came here to congratulate and support you. And I know I have to let go of my suspicions about your motives. And I want to believe that you’re back on the right path.

Nate: I am. If you give me the opportunity, I’ll show you. Let me prove to you I am still the man you fell in love with. Stop worrying. Okay? You will never lose me. I love you. Yes, I lost my way for a little while there. But now I am here, okay? The man you love is back. And yes, I’ve been working hard, but I’ve been doing that for us, for our future, together.

[ Inhales sharply ]

Diane: I wish we could stay like this forever. Just wrapped in each other’s arms. Not worrying about what the next day might bring.

Jack: I will tell you your being home has made this day the best I’ve had in a long time.

Diane: It’s wonderful for me, too. Although, I drove our poor daughter-in-law from the house.

Jack: No, don’t blame yourself. She was shocked to see you. She just needs time to process.

Diane: You know, if it would make things easier on her, I would move out. But, you know, my options are limited.

Jack: We’ll find our way through this. I promise.

Diane: I hope kyle found her. And then we can convince her that we can all live under one roof. Happily might be a stretch, but civilly.

[ Door opening ]

Ashley: Oh, my god. What are you doing here?

Kyle: Summer, it’s me. Uh, call or text me back. The way you ran off, it’s got me worried.

Mariah: Hey, stranger.

Kyle: Hi.

Mariah: Hi, I’m– I’m just here picking up takeout. But do you want to get a drink with me while I wait?

Kyle: I can’t stay.

Mariah: I was just at neil’s memorial and it was so beautiful. It was so moving. It really reminds you what’s important in life, you know? Family. And now I can’t wait to get back to mine. And because I am an excellent wife, I decided to stop by and pick up tessa’s favorite spicy noodle bowl.

Kyle: That’s sweet.

Mariah: And because I am an excellent friend, I’m gonna stop talking now so you can tell me exactly what’s going on with you.

Summer: We can’t tell people that mom is alive. That would destroy her.

Daniel: No, it won’T. We will help her get through whatever is ahead.

Summer: What, like life in prison? Forever on the run? In hiding? No, until we have a plan that guarantees mom’s safety, we can’t risk announcing to the world that she didn’t die.

Daniel: It’s the right thing to do, summer.

Summer: What, because you say so? Why do you get to decide?

Daniel: If you didn’t want me to have a say in this, why did you tell me?

Summer: Because the secret was too big for me. I had to tell you for my own sanity. And seeing you grieving like that, I– I couldn’t take it, daniel. I had to tell you that mom was alive, but I am not gonna let you blow everything up. Strong enamel is your best defense

Additional sponsorship provided by…

Daniel: I know that you want to protect mom, but this isn’t the way. We need to tell the truth.

Summer: No, I’m not gonna let you do that.

Daniel: You can’t really stop me, summer.

Summer: Don’t be so sure about that.

Daniel: [ Sighs] I would prefer if we agreed that this was the right decision.

Summer: It’s not. Daniel, mom faked her own death. She framed diane and she killed stark. What if the police don’t see that as self-defense and she goes to prison forever? Do you really want that on your head?

Daniel: Of course not.

Summer: Okay. We’re gonna tell the truth. We will. We just need to figure out a way to keep mom safe first.

Daniel: Sitting on a lie never solves anything. I was talking to lily earlier tonight–

Summer: You didn’t say anything to her about this, did you?

Daniel: No, of course, I didn’t say anything to her. But something she said to me just really resonated. It– it was something about the decisions you make, the ones you can live with and the ones that you can’T. I can’t live with this secret, knowing how many people it’s hurting.

Summer: So, you’re willing to jeopardize our mom’s entire future because of… your conscience?

Summer: Yes, summer. My conscience. That thing that helps guide me through life and determining right from wrong.

Summer: Oh, my god. Get over yourself. This isn’t about you. This is about mom and what she needs and what she needs is us. We have to help her. We are the only chance she has at coming back home.

Daniel: Look, I understand that you are angry about–

Summer: Oh, don’t do that condescending big brother thing to me because it’s not like you have all this wisdom. You blew up your own family, remember? So, what makes you think that you can make the smart, sensible choice in all of this–

Daniel: You’re right, summer. You’re right. I blew up my own family. You know why? ‘Cause I was so damn busy worried about my own pain that I forgot to put heather and lucy first. But you know what, I fixed it and I learned from it.

Summer: Wow. Good for you.

Daniel: You really sound like mom, you know that? You really do. Let me ask you something. What’s it like when kyle holds you in his arms and he’s trying to comfort you because he thinks that you’re grieving and he loves you.

Summer: Don’t do that.

Daniel: No, no, no, no. And what’s it like knowing how upset he is about his mother? His mother that he just started to rebuild a relationship with. How can you look him in the eyes knowing that you could take all that pain away? But instead, you just keep choosing to lie to him.

Kyle: Thanks, but I’m good. I gotta go.

Mariah: No, no, no. The hell you are. Your life is a mess. I say that with love. But this thing that you’re doing, kyle, this stiff upper lip thing, it’s not good. You need to be able to get this out and not with another abbott. There’s plenty of stiff upper lips in that family. So, spill.

Kyle: There is some good news. My mom got out on bail today.

Mariah: That is amazing. So, why don’t you look happier? And why are you here instead of with diane?

Kyle: Well, summer walked in the front door, saw her, there was a confrontation, and she couldn’t get out of the house fast enough. I’ve been looking everywhere for her.

Mariah: Ah. Uh, well, I gotta say, I think that I’m team summer on this one. It’s gotta be hard living under the same roof as the person who was accused of killing your mom. Not that I think diane did it.

Kyle: No, my mom is innocent. Summer just can’t see it. Even worse, I swear that when she looks at me, she doesn’t see her husband, she sees the son of her mother’s killer.

Mariah: As sure as you are of your mother’s innocence, you have to understand that summer sees it differently. Her mom was killed. She is grieving and she’s angry and she has to have a place to put all of this blame. And who better than the person that all of the evidence points to?

Kyle: No, I– I get why summer feels the way she does. But I don’t know how much longer I can stand having my wife believe I am defending a murderer. Just the idea that she thinks that of me, it hurts like hell.

Ashley: How the hell did you get out of jail?

Jack: Calm down, okay?

Ashley: What’d you do, jack? Did you dig a tunnel? Did you blow a hole in the wall?

Jack: Don’t be ridiculous, you knew this was a possibility.

Ashley: Well, she’s already got you committing grand larceny. What’s a little jailbreak? Right?

Jack: Would you keep your voice down? My grandson is with his nanny right now–

Ashley: You should be more concerned with exposing him to a murderer than the tone of my voice.

Tucker: This place is crazy, man.

Jack: Yeah.

Diane: I heard you joined the household.

Tucker: Yeah, the more the merrier, right, jack?

Jack: I’m finding it increasingly claustrophobic.

Ashley: Well, I wonder why? You invite whoever you want to come live here. I can, too, right? At least my guest hasn’t killed anybody, though.

Diane: Tucker, I suppose a welcome is in order. And congratulations. You must have redeemed yourself if ashley’s giving you another chance.

Tucker: She has given me another chance.

Diane: Well, that’s wonderful. You know, it’s just great knowing that ashley has the same big, warm heart that her brother does.

Ashley: So, how’d you do it, jack? How did you manage to get this homicidal flight-risk fiancée of yours out of jail? – “Best thing I’ve ever done.”

Jack: Luckily for us, michael was able to get us another judge.

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Jack: One that leaned toward fairness.

Ashley: Fairness? Or bribery? Because I can’t imagine any judge letting her go. I mean, you’ve gone on the run before.

Diane: Why would I want to leave my home, when I have everything I could possibly want right here?

Ashley: You had everything you could want before and you still walked away.

Jack: That was a completely different situation and you know damn well.

Ashley: So, what if she gets bored and she wants to leave again? It won’t be just kyle who’s left with a broken heart. It’ll be you left holding the bag for a, what, seven-figure bail payment? Not to mention the fortune you’re spending on her defense.

Jack: Enough, ashley.

Ashley: You’re so quiet, diane. What’s up with that?

Diane: [ Sighs ] Ashley, I know you hate me, but we need to figure this out if we’re going to be under the same roof.

Ashley: Why don’t you find your own roof? The two of you. Find something you can move into. A little love nest maybe. Let the rest of us live our lives in peace. No chaos.

Diane: Oh, trust me, I would love to be as far away from you as possible. But…

Ashley: Ankle monitor.

Diane: Yeah, it’s a condition of my bail agreement. I’m forbidden to leave the grounds.

Ashley: You are both so disgusting and incredibly selfish. Can you imagine what damage you’re doing to poor summer? You’re forcing her to live with the woman who’s charged with murdering her mother. Have you no shame? [ Sighs ]

Mariah: I can’t imagine how hard this is for you and summer. But I know how much you love each other.

Kyle: What if love isn’t enough?

Mariah: You’re gonna find a way, you know, with– with patience and faith.

Kyle: No, patience isn’t an option. I’m losing summer a little bit more each day and talking isn’t enough. I have to find proof that my mother is innocent. That is the only way I will get summer back. Even if I have to find the evidence myself, there is no way in hell I’m losing my wife.

Mariah: I wish there was something I could do to help.

Kyle: You already have. By listening. Being a good friend.

Mariah: You know, earlier when I said that I was team summer, the truth is, I’m just team love. So, I hope you find her and I hope you find the proof that you need to clear your mom.

Kyle: So do I.

Summer: That isn’t fair.

[ Sighs ] I love kyle. I wouldn’t hurt him.

Daniel: You’re lying to him.

Summer: Only until we can help mom.

Daniel: [ Scoffs ] While we’re waiting to help mom, his mom is rotting in a jail cell for something that she didn’t do.

Summer: Diane’s out.

Daniel: How? How is that possible?

Summer: I don’t know. Uh, michael did some sort of lawyer move, I guess. And she’s home. So, see? Diane’s okay.

Daniel: Yeah, but she’s still charged with murder.

Summer: For now. Only until we come up with a plan.

[ Daniel sighs ] Daniel, mom’s alive. We get a second chance at this. Please just help me find a way to bring her home that doesn’t put her behind bars. Because that’s what’s gonna happen if you come forward now. That’s– that’s what’s gonna happen. Look, I hate lying to the people that I love, too, just as much as you do. But this? This is the only thing standing between mom and a prison sentence.

Daniel: And you’re okay with it? Even at the risk of losing your marriage?

Summer: There’s gotta be a way to protect everybody, including mom. And I know if we just have some time, we’ll be able to find a way.

Daniel: No, summer. Kyle deserves to know the truth. Mom is alive and diane is innocent.

I have type 2 diabetes,

Sharon: I saw you speaking with devon and lily earlier tonight. That must have been encouraging.

Nate: In some ways it was. You know, for the first time in months I felt like I might have a real shot at reconciling with my family.

Sharon: But?

Nate: The tension. It’s still there. And maybe it always will be. It’s a reminder that success sometimes comes at a cost. But I won’t apologize for being ambitious. I just didn’t realize how much I’d– I have to give up. Especially recently.

Sharon: I’m well acquainted with the difficulties of working at newman. Victoria puts in 110% and she expects everyone else at the company to do the same. And it makes it hard to find balance.

Nate: It’s more than the work itself. I haven’t managed my priorities as well as I should have. And I’ve made some real mistakes. And now my personal life is suffering as a consequence.

Sharon: You came to the party alone tonight. Um, is everything okay with elena?

Mariah: Thank you so much.

Elena: Hi. Can I get a whiskey, neat?

Mariah: Hey, you.

Elena: Hey.

Mariah: I missed you at the party.

Elena: What party?

Mariah: Uh, the one for neil’s celebration? I’m surprised that nate didn’t tell you.

Elena: He was there?

Mariah: Uh, yeah, the whole winters family showed.

Elena: Hmm. Devon, lily, and nate. They actually got along?

Mariah: Seemed to. No punches were thrown. I’m surprised nate didn’t tell you about it.

Elena: Yeah. We’re not really on speaking terms right now.

Mariah: Speaking terms? What happened?

Elena: You know, nate and his lies. I got played. I just really wanted to believe that nate was still the man that I loved.

Mariah: I’m so sorry.

Elena: One day he’s trying to take me on a romantic getaway. And the next, I learn that he’s just manipulating me. Trying to keep me quiet. Well, I’m done being quiet.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] There you are.

Summer: Did you talk to daniel?

Kyle: Daniel? I haven’t heard from him.

[ Summer sighs ] I take it you have. Is that the text you got when you flew out of the house?

Summer: How’d you find me?

Kyle: Looked all over town. And I’m beginning to realize this is one of your favorite spots.

Summer: You didn’t have to go searching for me.

Kyle: Oh, but I did. You see, I… am crazy in love with you. So, I can’t help but worry when you take off.

Summer: I didn’t mean to worry you. I just… ooh, I had to get out of that house.

Kyle: The way you keep running away scares me.

[ Summer sighs ]

Summer: I love you.

Kyle: What I said earlier… there’s nothing you can’t tell me. You understand that, right? I know you want your space to grieve on your own terms. I have tried to honor that, but all I want to do is hold you and tell you everything is gonna be okay because we’re in this together. So, please, talk to me, summer. Whatever it is, we’ve got this.

Summer: It’s just… seeing diane at home like that, out on bail, it’s just– it was the last thing I expected.

Kyle: I wanted to give you a heads-up about that.

Summer: I saw how happy you were that she’s free. I’m happy for you. But I can’t– I can’T…

Kyle: Hey, hey, hey, hey. You’re upset mom’s back in the house. I get that. But I swear we will find a way through it.

Summer: What if that isn’t possible? She found it.

“The young and the restless” will continue. (Kids) get him!

Elena: Power and success. It’s all nate cares about now. It’s all about winning.

Mariah: Oh, no. I can’t believe that.

Elena: Oh, believe it. And the part that kills me is that we worked so hard to get through things after he screwed over devon and lily at chancellor-winters. And I was the idiot who believed him when he said he wanted to change. That he wanted to be the compassionate man that I fell in love with.

Mariah: Maybe this is just a phase.

Elena: I don’t think so. I think this is who nate is now. And I just have to accept it.

Mariah: Are you really ready to do that?

Elena: I don’t think there’s any coming back from this. Nate made a decision and now I have to make mine.

Nate: You’re really good at this therapist gig. Spotted my issue right away.

Sharon: Well, you were out tonight without the woman you love by your side. And now you’re here alone with nothing but a sad face and a cup of coffee to keep you company. So, it doesn’t take a professional to put those thoughts together. I’m sorry you’re going through a rough patch.

Nate: It’s more than a rough patch, and it’s all on me.

Sharon: Why do you say that?

Nate: I’ve changed a lot since elena and I met.

Sharon: Well, I imagine losing your ability to perform surgery had something to do with that.

Nate: It does. I struggled to– to redefine myself. To find work I could be passionate about. Now, I found that passion and business. It’s created… issues in our relationship.

Sharon: Makes sense. You and elena bonded over your shared careers in medicine, now you’ve lost that common ground.

Nate: And it seems we’ve been moving in different directions ever since.

Sharon: Hmm. When you look in the mirror, do you like the man you see?

Nate: Not tonight.

Sharon: Well, in general?

Nate: I do. I feel an excitement I haven’t felt in a long time. I look forward to every day, every challenge. You know, in the past, uh, I could share my excitement with elena. She would encourage me. We encouraged each other. But now it’S…

Sharon: How does that make you feel?

Nate: I never resented elena. I love her too much. But, um, I hurt her, very deeply, and I feel terrible about it.

Kyle: Look, summer, if it’s too hard for you to be at the house, I understand. We don’t have to be, we can go on a trip. It might be good for us all. Look, any place you want to. Back to milan. You love costa rica, and so did harrison. Any place you feel safe and can heal.

Summer: That sounds good.

Kyle: Then let’s pack our bags.

Summer: I can’t– we can’T. It’s not fair to you. I know how important it is to you to be here for your mom.

Kyle: Look, I am out of my mind with worry for my mom. But you are my priority. So, whatever you need, you say the word.

Summer: One, um… one priority that we both should have is explaining to harrison that deedee is back.

Kyle: He’ll be thrilled. I’m not looking forward to the other conversation. When we tell him phyllis is gone.

Summer: No, we can’t– we can’t do that. It’s– it’s too– it’s too soon. We’ve– we’ve got to wait.

Kyle: Summer, wait for what? And why?

Summer: Harrison is so young.

Kyle: We told him about ashland and he handled it. Look, it’s not gonna be easy, but I think he’s ready.

Summer: Maybe I’m not ready. Kyle, can you just respect me on this, please?

Kyle: I’ll do whatever you want, on one condition. Come back home with me.

[ Sniffs ]

[ Ice clinking ]

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Sniffs ]

Daniel: Hello. Hello? Mom, is that you? Type 2 diabetes?

Diane: I care a great deal about summer. I know how difficult this must be for her.

Ashley: And yet you’re still here.

Diane: And I will do everything I can to make her comfortable.

Ashley: Find another place to live. Please, call michael. Get a judge to give you a change of residence.

Jack: This is diane’s home, she stays, and I won’t have you attacking her.

Ashley: She’s not the victim here. Summer is.

Jack: Oh, you’re summer’s champion now?

Ashley: Somebody has to be. Her mother’s dead, jack. And yeah, phyllis and I had a common goal the last few months of her life. And I do feel like I need to stand up for summer.

Jack: Your common goal was destroying diane’s life. It was a hate campaign. It was ugly and personal. It had nothing to do with summer.

Ashley: We were trying to protect the people that we love from her. And the fact that she’s standing here, wearing your ring, obviously, we failed miserably.

Jack: And love won. How about that? Not that you’d know anything about love.

Ashley: Oh, come on.

Tucker: That’s a matter of perspective.

Jack: You stay out of this, and you give diane peace.

Ashley: Or what? Are you threatening me? She’s gonna slip up. She will violate the terms of her bail and I will call the D.A. And she’s gonna be back in jail before you know it.

Jack: Oh, you would do that, wouldn’t you? Even if she’s innocent.

Ashley: She’s not innocent.

Jack: I thought you hit rock bottom when you brought tucker into this house.

Ashley: Oh, look who’s talking.

Jack: Apparently there are no depths to which you won’t stoop.

Ashley: What you’ve done to summer is unconscionable, jack.

Kyle: That’s enough! If any of you give a damn about summer, you’ll leave her the hell out of your feud.

Daniel: Well, you haven’t hung up, so I’m guessing it’s you. Don’t be mad at summer for telling me. I’m glad she did. Means you’re alive, right?

[ Sighs ] And the thought of getting to see you again, and getting to talk to you, actually talk to you…

[ Sighs] Summer told me why you left. You can’t just disappear, mom. You can’T. And we love you and we need you. Summer needs you and you can’t just put her in that position. It’s not fair to her and it’s cruel. And look, I know– I know that you love us too much to keep hurting us. So, just please come back. Come home and we will fix this. We can figure this all out. Just come back and we can be a family again.

[ Phone ringing ]

[ Call disconnecting ]

[ Door slamming ]

Sharon: Long-term relationships are difficult. Hurting your partner is, sadly, pretty much inevitable. That doesn’t mean it’s not fixable.

Nate: People warned me that power could be intoxicating. Elena said it louder than anyone. I denied it, but they were right. The feeling of being in control, making decisions that result in millions of dollars in profit, leading teams of employees who look up to me, who want to impress me, gave me a new confidence. And it made me reckless. And it led to me making some big mistakes.

Sharon: Everyone screws up sometimes, nate. Elena loves you. Maybe if you talk to her the way you’re talking to me, apologize, you can repair the damage.

Nate: Hmm.

Elena: And I defended you. I tried to encourage you to take the higher path and to fix things with your family, because deep down, I thought the man that I was in love with still existed.

Nate: I am still that man.

Elena: You can’t possibly believe that. Look at yourself, nate. You have changed, and not for the good. Unless this is who you’ve always been. Selfish and ambitious.

[ Elena scoffs ]

[ Glass smashing ] (Cheering)

Jack: Summer, I am very sorry you witnessed that. I–

Diane: We’re glad you’re home. Are you all right?

Kyle: No, she’s not. And this isn’t a home, it’s a battleground. You have your issues with my dad. But I was really hoping you’d be considerate enough not to involve summer. Apparently, my expectations were too high.

Ashley: I apologize. Summer, I’m so very sorry that I let my anger get the best of me. It will not happen again.

Jack: I was out of line, too. We can all do a lot better.

Kyle: Yeah, you do, because this, it has to stop. Do you understand me? Summer needs a safe space, and right now, this sure as hell isn’t it.

Diane: Summer, I’m sorry, too. I– I know that until there’s proof that I’m innocent, it’s going to be difficult for you to be in the same room with me. But like I said before, I will give you all the space you need. You will hardly know I’m here.

Kyle: Hey, you okay?

Summer: I can’t take this anymore.

Kyle: You don’t have to. Forget it, you can battle it out all you want. Summer and I are taking harrison and we’re moving into the pool house. It’s the only way we’re gonna get some relief.

Ashley: That’s probably a smart idea.

Nate: An apology and an explanation won’t fix this. I’m ashamed to say this isn’t the first time I messed up. So, whatever forgiveness elena found in the past, it’s definitely not happening now.

Sharon: Whatever it is you did, it sounds like you knew the potential consequences and you chose to take the risk.

Nate: And here I am, the point of no return, with no one to blame but myself.

[ Clasps clicking ]

[ Sobbing ]

[ Sniffling ]

[ Gasping and crying ]

[ Sobbing ]

Kyle: Are you good with taking up residence in the pool house?

Summer: I wish that moving 100 feet away would actually solve something. Thank you for trying to protect me, though.

Kyle: I love you. There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t do for you. You know that, right? And we’ll make an adventure out of it. Tell harrison we’re going camping.

Summer: Staying in the pool house isn’t exactly roughing it, but you’re right. Harrison will like that idea.

Kyle: And I like that you won’t have to go to the park to get peace and quiet so you can heal.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Kyle: I want to help you through this. If you’ll let me. Hey, you okay?

Summer: Yeah. I just… we need to tell harrison about deedee.

Kyle: Come here. [ Exhales ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I cannot believe I slept so late. That was a great decision on those mattresses. Oh, well I can’t sleep on a limpy mattress, so could hardly expect my roommate too either. Well, I really appreciate that. It was very comfortable. I’m glad you’re well rested. I have to say I’m getting a little peckish. Okay.

Yeah, I’ve been up for a couple of hours and all I’ve had is some coffee and a bit of a donut. Right. Time for a hearty breakfast, so, What’s on the menu?

I made breakfast. Put this ungodly hour be really hard. Morning person, huh? Oh, well med school will do that to you. Yeah. It’s my, uh, my mom’s peppers and eggs.

Hmm. Oh my God. Mm-hmm. But that’s delicious. Yeah. Not too spicy. No, they’re perfect. Just what I needed to. Wake me up. And at home I usually just grab a protein bar or smoothie, but um, I gotta say the Coke could get used to this

morning. Morning, sweetheart. Once the pancakes, it’s Abe’s secret recipe. Sounds good. But coffee first. Mm-hmm. So, How was your date day? What date? Says, uh, you didn’t tell him? Was it my news to tell? Like that’s ever stopped you before? Oh gosh. Shit. We can all turn over one new leaf like you’ve just done, baby.

Getting back out there in the dating pool. Wait, a wait, wait, wait. Anybody wanna tell me what’s going on here? Fill me in. Who’s this state with Chanel? Who’s the lucky guy? Uh,

Kind of early for you to be checking in, isn’t it? What if I was with Jada? Well, I knew you wouldn’t answer if you were. Is that, come on then. How was it Dave?

It was fine. Just fine. Come on. I need more ds. The meal was great. Service was good. Conversation flowed. No one cares about all that. What I wanna know is, did you melt the girl’s heart? Is she in love with you yet?

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

It’s cool too soon for her to be falling in love with me. Don’t you think? I mean, it’s only been one date. Yeah. But uh, what’s that joke about lesbians? They bring the U-Haul to the second date, something like that. Chanel’s not a lesbian. She’s bisexual. Okay, whatever. Well, the matter is that she falls head over here, is in love with you so that you can break her little bisexual.

Ha again. And in the meantime I’m gonna focus on the plan for her mother. For her mother. What are you planning to do to Paulina?

You’re dateless with Talia, isn’t she the woman that works for you? Yes. And don’t gimme that look, unlike you, mayor Carver. I don’t have a policy against coworkers fraternizing, as long as it’s consensual. Of course. But is the city council’s policy and I simply enforce it. Mm-hmm. But businesses, private businesses have more leeway OB, obviously.

Yeah. Well, I don’t even know if that matters since my business is still shut down. Well, has the health department given you any idea about when you can reopen? No. They, they said that until the police find out who’s behind those tainted biscuits. They won’t even consider it. Oh, the hell with that. Come on, Abe, let’s go and light a fire under that commission of yours.

Hey, can I finish my pancakes first? Huh?

Okay, now that was an amazing breakfast. No, don’t get up. Don’t get the fire at the plates. Uh, no. Uh, you cooked and you’ve been a great host in every way. Why we’re friends? So, you know, I don’t think of myself as a host. Right. Well, you’ve been a great friend and you, I’m actually really, really glad you decided to visit Seattle and me.

I really enjoyed you being here.

I should probably get that. Mm-hmm. Yeah. It might be Lee

Johnny.

Hey. Hey, Johnny. Uh, hey, I, I just talked to your brother and you said you’re still in Seattle. I am. Are you avoiding me? I mean, Wendy, I thought you said that you believe me when I said the only reason I proposed to Chanel was because of those damn biscuits. Yes, I believed you. I, I told you I did. But Trip just brought Joey home from the hospital and, um, I felt bad leaving, so I stuck around a hell pound.

Okay. All right. Well, good to know. Um, So when are you coming back?

Did you just ask me what’s for breakfast? Yeah, I mean, honestly, Chloe, I mean, I’m a little bit disappointed. For some reason I got it into my head that you were like an early riser and you would’ve had breakfast on the table hours ago. Wow. Well, you assumed wrong. No, Chloe. I thought this was all part of our agreement.

Well, don’t tell me you’ve forgotten already. No, I have not forgotten. When we decided to move in, I said I would pick up some of the slack of the household chores. I didn’t sign up to be your full-time housekeeper and cook. I never said anything about full-time. No, you just want me to have breakfast ready on the table for when you roll out of bed.

Chloe, I knew this was a bad idea. Brady said it was a terrible idea. I should have listened to him. Where are you going to pack?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Please. What do you wanna put in your lunch order before I leave? Or was I late picking up your dry cleaning? I’m sorry. For some reason I assumed this was some kind of, I dunno, all inclusive deal. I shouldn’t have expected you to make me breakfast or anything else. You’re right.

That wasn’t part of our agreement. No, it wasn’t. And if I agree to stay here, we need to figure out what this arrangement is, right, which we can hash out over breakfast, which I will happily prepare for us both right now. Oh, so you cook now? I do indeed. And one day I will delight your palate with all the Scottish favorites, Haggas, blood pudding, neeps, and Tatties.

But for today, I’ll just scramble some eggs.

Or at least I would if we had any eggs to scramble. Don’t suppose you, uh, went to the grocery store, did you?

What? Am I coming back? Yeah. I mean, I know Damara has a pretty liberal vacation policy, but my dad and Uncle Stephan need you. In between you and me, the place is kind of falling apart with you gone. I doubt that and uh, I, I, yeah, I haven’t made any travel plans yet, but I’ll be back soon. Well, I’m glad.

Because I really miss you, so let me know when you know for sure. Okay? Of course. Talk to you soon.

Answer me What is happening to Paulina? I told you, I’m still working out the details, but it’s all part of my plan. What’s the, sorry, my sister’s

morning. Morning. Who were you just talking to?

So maybe when we draw up this agreement, we can add grocery shopping to the list. We can just order an online delivery. Actually, you could do that if you don’t mind. I just thought, you know, you do have a little bit more time on your hands right now because you are. Between jobs. I’m gonna go get my suitcases.

Alright, fine. We’ll, we’ll both do it. We’ll alternate. I’ll do one week, you do the next and it’ll be great. Look, we need to draw out the rest of this agreement, but. I can’t do it over an empty stomach. So how about take you out for breakfast please? Will you let me do that? Okay, I’ll go get dressed in the meantime.

Can you dust those blinds? The blinds? Yeah. The last tenants left and pretty dirty. Right. But we don’t have any dust cloths cuz you didn’t go to the, because we didn’t go to the store. But I’ll figure out. I’ll just use a t-shirt or something. You do that?

Come in.

We need some talk Commissioner. I hope this isn’t a bad time, uh, for my boss. Never. So what can I do for the two of you? Yes. If you don’t know, you can get on the stick. Excuse me. My poor daughter can’t reopen her bakery until you arrest Sloan Peterson. So why the hell is it taking so long you shoulda arrested her the minute that someone took a bite of those bad biscuits?

Sweetheart, RA can’t arrest Sloan just because she has an animosity toward you and Chanel. He has to follow the evidence. Well, unless I’m missing something, the evidence all points to that.

Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you going to tell us that the evidence now points to someone else? Not exactly. What do you mean not exactly?

I was just talking to Chanel. Chanel, yeah. Remember I told you I recommended some breathing and meditation exercises for Paulina when she has panic attacks? Yeah, well, I was just checking in with Chanel to make sure her mom was okay. Because I was concerned. Right. Any other questions, Jada, or should I get a lawyer?

Since you’re just so interested in my private phone conversations, I just asked you who you were talking to. A very simple question, and yet you get all defensive. Why

enjoy your coffee?

Johnny, Hey, um, I’m sorry. Just stop by like this. I, I, I checked the bakery first, but that’s still not open yet. Well, I think yet, might be a bit optimistic. Really Sorry you’re going through this. Thanks. So, What’s so important that you had to see me face to face? Um, it’s about Wendy and I’m really hoping I can get some of your advice because I feel like I’m losing her.

What did Johnny Wall? No, he was just wondering when I was coming back to Salem. Right.

Which made me think. Um,

maybe I should go back today and book a flight. I mean, that, that seems kind of sudden. Well, Joey’s getting better and I do have a job, but you can work remotely, right? I can, I mean, that’s what I’ve been doing. I’ve been here as I’m sure you’ve noticed,

you’re upset,

Wendy.

We said that we would go on one day and if there was nothing between us, then we just. Be friends, but

I felt something on our one date, something pretty well great actually, and it seemed like you did too,

so. I don’t want you to leave. I really don’t. I, I really,

I want you to stay.

So why do you think you’re losing Wendy? Uh, well, for one thing, she’s still in Seattle and doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to head home. Okay. Wait, she’s not still upset about you proposing to me. She knows that we were both high on those peanut biscuits, right? She does, yeah. Okay, so then that can’t be the reason why she’s staying.

No, which is why I’m starting to want, you know, no, I’m not, I’m not just wondering. I, I’m pretty sure that the reason is Trip. You want me to stay in Seattle? I’m trip. Are you nothing here? No, no, no, no. I’ll, I’ll be back and save them soon. I just promised my dad and Kayla that would look after Joey until he got back on his feet.

So it should only be a few more weeks. So if you did stay, we could see where this thing goes. You know, without all the typical Salem distractions, we could go see the sites, just be. Together. I can’t, yeah, I can work re remotely and now for weeks on end, and also

my brother’s been final loss lately now that he’s given up on Gabby and I need to be there for him. And for Johnny,

so I assume since you know this is his phone call, I got you so anxious to get back there today. It’s because of Johnny

that you’re choosing him.

So why do you think that Wendy is staying in Seattle because of Trip? Is that what she told you? Uh, what she told me was that she is staying to help him take care of Joey. Well, that sounds reasonable. Yeah, a little too reasonable. And Trip, once again comes off looking like the Boy Scout look, it’s the perfect way for him to just weasel his way into Wendy’s heart.

I dunno. Maybe I should fly out there and try and woo her back. Okay. Wooing is one thing, smothering is another. You’re the big movie buff, right? Maybe you should just take a page outta West Side story and play it. Ooh boy. Right? Except that’s not me. I am the opposite of cool, as you know. Yes, I do know that.

But can’t you just fake it? Right. Just if, if you don’t come off as needy and desperate, then I promise you that if you lie low that Wendy will be much happier when she does get back. You’re right. You’re right. And thank you, um, for the advice. And I’m sorry that I just came in here and dropped all my problems on you.

Especially when you’re going through a tough time yourself. Eh? I can use the distraction right now. And actually there is one positive thing in my life right now. You mean other than Other than me? Yes. Other than you. I actually had a date last night. Oh, nice. Yeah. And, and look, I, I know that it seems soon since Allie and I just broke up recently, but I found out that she’s seeing someone in New Zealand, and so if she’s moving on, then why shouldn’t I?

You didn’t know about it, did you? That Allie was seeing someone? You kidding? She didn’t even bother to tell me when she left town. You think she’s gonna keep me up to date on her love life? Yeah, I guess not So, You are gonna keep me in suspense. You’re gonna tell me who this date was with last night.

Next time. Text when you’re close. All right. I don’t want you hanging around in the hallway. Relax. I was waiting all of five seconds. Still better not take any chances. Speaking of, did your sister hear you say anything? Yeah, she heard me talking about Paulina. Which I said I was talking to Chanel and I’m pretty sure she bought it.

But speaking of Paul, you didn’t tell me what you planned on doing about her or to her. Wow. I actually have come up with a plan. Yeah. Okay. Go on. You know those, uh, panic attacks you said she has? Yeah. What about ’em? Well, I was hoping that since you’re a doctor, you might No way to cause one.

Oh. Hi, detective Hunter. Hi Ms. Lane. Hi. Xander. Oh, well this is a happy coincidence, isn’t it? Really? Why is that? Because you can update us on your investigation. Have you arrested Sloane Peterson yet? Xander? I think we’re interrupting because Chloe here almost ingested one of those poisoned biscuits.

Luckily like them a long time. Otherwise things could have gotten ugly. Actually, things did get ugly for a lot of people. I am so sorry that that happened to you, Ms. Lane, but I’m afraid that I am not a liberty to discuss an open investigation. Well, I hope that doesn’t mean that it’s progressing slowly. I would think that you would wanna solve this sooner rather than later.

Right? You know, you have a lot of opinions for a case that seemingly does not concern you. I’m just speaking as a concerned citizen. Chanel de Priest’s Bakery was shut down by the health department’s. Terribly sad for Chanel. And her employee per thing, who’s now shacked up at the same CD motel I used to call her.

Wait, which employee? There’s only one, isn’t it? What was her name? The bakery girl. Uh, Talia. That’s right, Talia.

Come on. Rape out with it. Do you have another suspect in mine?

Not a liberty to say. Brief as mayor of Salem and your boss, I’m granting you that liberty. So is there another suspect?

At one point Jada suspected Talia. Talia, what? That’s her sister. How could you even think that? Well, because, um, when, um, Ty and Chanel told us what happened the night before the biscuits were poisoned, there was, uh, a discrepancy in Talia’s story. She said when she left your place after dinner, that she went straight home, but she remembered that she came home a few hours later.

Natalia later said she misspoke. So you suspect Talia because she lost track of a couple of hours. We also learned when you thought that Sloan had stolen your keys, that Talia was there as well. Well, don’t you think I’d notice if Taja had stolen my keys? Well, you didn’t notice when Sloan did it. Talia also had a QM mate that day.

Plus she forgot to turn on the security camera, and as a doctor Talia would’ve had access to the drugs that were used.

So considering those discrepancies in Talia’s story and the. Fact that she’s an md. Well, you can understand why we believe that she might have had something to do with the poisoning, but when we question Talia, she had an explanation for everything. Of course she did. Talia couldn’t have had anything to do with something so, so Sarah’s sinister, so downright shameful.

And not to mention, so criminal, she’s, she’s a lovely girl with a good heart, right? Yeah. We couldn’t understand why she would’ve had anything to do with it either. Especially with no motive. Exactly. I can’t believe you even suspected her re is simply conducting a thorough investigation. Yeah, well, I, I do, I understand that, but Oh, oh, it just would be so awful if Charlie had something to do with this.

Especially, especially now. Wait, why now? Because she and my daughter are dating

Talia. Huh.

So how was the date? Did she sweep you off your feet? We had dinner at the bistro. Okay. And it started off great. Something go wrong? Well, no, but it, it just got awkward and then I haven’t heard from her since, which is driving me crazy. Well, maybe before you do anything, you should take some of your own advice and.

Play. Cool girl. Yeah, yeah. You’re probably right. I think I’m just, I’m in my head about it because Talia has only everyday to guys before, and I, I just keep wondering if maybe she’s just not that into me. Are you and her? Yeah, I, well, I thought I was, I mean, I definitely find her attractive, but, um, I don’t know.

I. I, after everything that happened with Allie, I’m just, ah, look, you don’t want to get her again. I get that. This is all I’m gonna say. If Talia can’t see. How amazing you are and how lucky she would be, how lucky anyone would be to be with you. She’s a damn fool.

Thanks.

Well, I have pinch your ear long enough. Hey, what are ex-wives for? Ah, Good luck with Wendy. Thank you.

No, no. I mean, I’m not choosing anyone trip. I mean, it’s weird to even think of it like that. Like I have to make a choice.

Look, both you and Johnny, they’re great guys. Maybe very different of course, which is why I like you both in different ways, okay? Okay, so bottom line, when I get back to Salem, you and I might still have a chance. I mean, unless you meet someone else, not gonna happen. Actually, I kind of hope it does. Cause then we’d be even, you know, how would we be even, because then you’d have to make a choice too.

I am already mak. Now I choose to have hope that the girl that I find great in every way that I feel really comfortable with, who I also find very funny, smart, beautiful, full. I choose to have hope that she’ll come around to see that she and I are right for each other. Well, hey, uh, I can’t predict the future, but maybe she will come around to see that.

As long as I’m not outta the running, definitely not

a way to cause panic attacks. Yeah, if there was some sort of medication to induce them. No, it doesn’t work that way. Okay. Well then I’ll have to think of another plan. You’re not planning on hurting Paulina, are you? You don’t need to worry about that. You just focus on turning up the heat level on Chanel.

Stop batting your eyelids. Touch her gently in strategic places and find ways to get closer by someone as beautiful and sexy as you. I guess she’s falling in love with you, just being in your presence. And babe, don’t worry, it’s not gonna be much longer. Alright, once Paulina and Chanel have paid for what they did, To my mother.

Then we can move on with our lives. We can focus on making each other happy.

I love you so much.

You saw Talia at a motel, the white do. Yeah, we ran into her when she was leaving her room, but she doesn’t live at a motel. How do you know? She’s my sister? Ah, she actually lives with me upstairs. Oh my mistake. Ugh. That means she must be just hooking up with that obnoxious Brit. Who are you talking about?

What? Brit? Yeah. What Brit. When I went back to the motel to pack up my stuff, I bumped into this guy. Absolute joke by the way. And when I mentioned to him that I’d seen Talia coming out of his room, he denied even knowing her. Did you get his name? No, nor did he get mine. You said your room was close to his, do you remember his room number?

Look, I, maybe I shouldn’t have brought this up. I mean, it’s just sister’s business, isn’t it? You know who she hooks up with. You’re right. It, it is. But I’d really appreciate it if you can make it. My business room 1 0 6.

Hey, so your flight leaves in two hours. Lucky you were able to put it the last minute. Yeah. Well, after I spend four hours in a middle seat, then ask me out. Lucky I am. Okay. Lemme just toss some clothes on and I’ll take you to the airport. No. Definitely not. You Stay here. Take care of Joey. I already called a ride.

Share what? No. Joey can be alone for a little while. Our ride is only two minutes away. Oh, I was thought we could say goodbye there. At least not just saying goodbye. Not okay. Louis. Actually, I was planning to have a whole romantic airport scene, you know, like Casablanca. Bogart says Birdman, you know, he is looking at you, a kid.

And then he kisses her. At least I think he does, doesn’t he? I’m not sure who’s seen the movie, which I love. I mean, who doesn’t, right? Mm-hmm. But yeah, I can’t specifically remember if he kisses her in that scene. Me neither. It was. Early romantic regardless. Oh, definitely. That makes me think, yeah, our romantic scene.

Yours of mine. Why does it have to be at the airport? Why can’t it just be right here, right now? Yeah. Why not?

That’s my ride. Should probably go.

Long ways have Seattle.

Got a plate pool. Cool. Cool. Is the way to go.

Hey, Tolia, it’s me, Chanel. I just wanted to tell you that I had a really nice time last night. Uh, but, um, no pressure. If, if you’re not into it, we can just go back to being friends. No harm, no foul, no harm, no foul. Okay. Could I have said anything dumber?

You know, when I started to take you for breakfast, I wasn’t expecting you to order the lumberjack special with extra bacon. Huh. Well, in spirit of our new arrangement, I’d be happy to share. Very generous of you. Hmm hmm.

Poor a detective onto, didn’t even get to finish her breakfast. She raced out here so quickly. Do you think she went straight to that gross motel? No, she doesn’t strike music. Over protective type, but she just seem awfully interested in that guy. Her sister’s been spending time with.

Who’s there? The police.

Oh, well, you know, I think I am late for a city council meeting, but can I drop you off somewhere? Well, Rafe said he was gonna check in with the forensics lab and see if they managed to uncover any new evidence. With any luck that that snake slung slipped up and left some DNA n a evidence behind. Yeah, right here, sweetheart?

Mm-hmm. Oh, hmm. Oh, well, I just got off the phone with forensics. Unfortunately, they didn’t find anything. Are you okay?

Previously on Ride, give it up for Missy McMurray. Former Miss Rodeo, this could be an opportunity for Frontier Austin. McMurray’s widow doing promos from his home.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Soft dramatic music]

[Knocks]

Yeah, come in.

You asked to see me. I’m assuming it has something to do with a plea deal for the Randall case?

I recused myself from that. You’re going to have to deal with ADA Lansing-Davis on that one. No, no, no, I want to talk to you about something else, something a little more sensitive.

Going somewhere?

Uh, the office. Got a lot of damage control to do.

Hmm, sure you’re not going to meet with the SEC, you know, to follow up with them after you gave up Carly and Drew for insider trading?

I wish we could stay like this forever

maybe not forever, but for an afternoon.

[Chuckles]

Except I cannot turn my mind off. I keep wanting to hear from Trina again, or something about Drew and Liesl or something about Willow’s bone marrow transplant.

It might help to have something else to focus on.

Any suggestions?

I know Dr. Randolph has gone over all this with you, but I have to remind you that Willow now needs to undergo a strong round of chemo to destroy her diseased bone marrow so that it can be replaced by Dr. Obrecht’s healthy marrow.

I also know that during this process, my immune system will be completely compromised.

You’ll have to be in isolation.

So I was just talking to Nina.

Really? How’d that go?

Well, you know, Nina and I, we have, like, a not so great history.

Since when, she came to Port Charles?

Yeah, she was kind of obsessed with her first husband, but he was a big support for me when Danny was sick. Anyway, that’s ancient history. I just–I feel like I have to step carefully around Nina.

Hmm.

But Sonny loves her. So for his sake, I’m willing to make the effort.

That’s great.

Mm-hmm. I wish Michael and Carly would do the same.

You know, that’s kind of ironic, because I just told Nina that she should make an effort with Carly.

Carly, please, can I have a minute?

I was wrong…

and I’m sorry.

Sorry for what?

For all the blame that I heaped on you, for trying to make it your fault that I’m estranged from Willow.

I didn’t get along with her when she was Charlotte’s teacher. I didn’t get along with her when she became Wiley’s stepmother. And at my best, I was critical. And at my worst, I was combative. And I regret my actions more than I can say.

But I’m standing here, desperately wanting a connection with my daughter.

Please, Carly, will you help me?

[Laughs]

[Dramatic music]

We’re going to move you to an isolation room. Everything will be wiped clean daily, you’ll be given a low bacteria diet, and anyone who comes in contact with you will need to be gloved, gowned, and masked.

Is, um– is Willow allowed visitors?

There’ll be a protective barrier between Willow and the door. You can’t go past it. It’s very important that friends and family keep their distance. No physical contact to avoid the transmission of bacteria.

I remember all this from nursing school. I never thought it would apply to me.

Hey, um, could–could Willow and I have a minute alone?

Of course. You’re going to do great, Willow.

We, uh– we knew this was coming. Isolation is pivotal to the transplant’s success.

I know… but it scares me thinking this could be the last time I hold your hand.

[Dramatic music]

You want to cook for me?

No, I want us to cook together.

Oh, well, that sounds good. But there’s a problem. I don’t cook.

Not at all?

I can scramble eggs or make a sandwich, sometimes bake some cookies. Other than that, that is the limit of my repertoire.

Well, that’s more than I could do when I started. I was limited to grilled cheese sandwiches and anything I could pop in the microwave.

[Laughs]

That’s why I wanted to learn how to cook, so I could actually enjoy what I was eating. So when I started following online tutorials and following recipes, I started to actually enjoy it, both the process and the result… and a few disasters.

[Laughs]

I’m learning as I go.

Well, it sounds like you’re enjoying yourself.

Cooking takes me out of myself. Instead of worrying about what’s going to happen next and creating contingency plans to deal with that, just in the moment, hopefully enjoying what I’m making.

It sounds like just what I need right now.

All right. Well, let’s figure out what we want to make together.

Ok.

I, uh–I want to apologize for using you during that, uh, Holly business. But I know you– you know that.

Thank you.

For me personally, it snowballed into something else quite different. But then again, you were unaware of that.

Interesting.

I want to thank you, though, for stepping in the other night and helping me during that, uh, that bureau business.

My pleasure.

Yeah, I know. I–you get that twinkle in your eye whenever you use the law to mess with people.

[Laughing] Present company very much included.

Anyway, that, uh– that brings me to this little get together now. I’m the DA, and you’re the highly respected defense attorney. We’re dancing very close on ethical lines here between sparring and flirting, unless of course, we agree to do it by mutual consent.

I will tell you as many times as you need to hear it. I was not the one who turned in Carly and Drew to the SEC.

Well, you threatened to.

More than once.

I’m a Quartermaine! And chairman of the board. I make threats all the time, but I don’t always carry them out. And I especially wouldn’t turn in Drew and Carly while Willow was fighting for her life. I’m not that heartless.

No, not heartless, but you are a world class rationalizer. I could see you telling yourself that with a little pressure on Drew from the SEC, he wouldn’t be around much at ELQ, and that would ultimately be a good decision for the company. It was just a tip, Dad, right? It wouldn’t generate more than a phone call or two. I’m sure you never intended for it to go as far as, you know, Carly getting picked up at Michael and Willow’s wedding.

It was after the wedding, and I was just as shocked and upset as everyone else.

Especially the groom.

Michael–Michael was completely out of line, assuming that I was responsible.

Michael was out of his mind with worry over Willow. By the way, he has no reason to trust you. And it kills me to say this, Ned, but you sold out Drew and Michael to Valentin Cassadine. What would stop you from selling out Carly and Drew to the SEC?

Can’t a man get any peace and quiet in his own house without being hounded by his family?

[Sighs]

Where is the coffee? And the croissant? Have the standards in this house fallen that far?

Tracy, your breakfast niceties are going to have to wait. We’re in the middle of something right here.

Another crisis nobody told me about.

Olivia and Brook Lynn still think I’m responsible for turning in Drew and Carly.

Well, of course you did. And good for you.

Are you ok? Let me look at you. Oh, my god.

Thank god and my rescuers, especially Drew.

What happened?

When Victor’s demented plan started to unravel, he tried to escape with me as his hostage. It was Drew, with an assist from Holly Sutton, who stopped that from happening. I use this word sparingly, but Drew is der held, a hero.

That’s no surprise there.

[Chuckles] Scout can’t wait to see her hero dad.

Oh, I can’t wait to see my daughter. I cannot wait.

Welcome home.

Hey, thanks, man. Thanks. And I appreciate all the kudos, everybody, but obviously I was part of an amazing team, so let’s just–you know.

You can be modest later. Without you, I would not be here, and Willow would not have a chance at life.

Elisa, let’s– let’s talk over here.

Hey, are you ok?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m fine. I’m fine. Hi.

Hi. Um, you know, there’s been a lot going on.

Are you ok?

Yeah, I’m ok.

What’s going on?

Drew Cain?

We’re with the security exchange commission. We were told we’d find you here.

What’s this regarding?

We have some questions for you regarding allegations of insider trading.

This is outrageous. Don’t you have eyes? The man just returned from a dangerous rescue mission. Why don’t you take your bureaucratic drivel and be gone?

You have the option to refuse to speak with us, but we can get a subpoena, and if necessary, a warrant. So if you want to clear this up, you’ll come with us voluntarily.

You know, if you want to fight this, I’ll back you all the way.

Oh, thank you, Sam, but there’s nothing to fight.

We have a credible allegation that says otherwise.

How do you know the allegation is credible? By its very definition, an allegation is something which has not yet been proven. You are wasting our time with this lacherlich doublespeak.

Don’t let these government drones bully you.

Liesl, it’s ok. I can handle this, all right? You need to focus on Willow. It’s fine. Guys, let’s go. Come on.

It wasn’t me. However, Carly and Drew did commit insider trading. The date of Carly’s huge stock purchase pretty much speaks for itself. All anyone had to do was realize the two of them were in a personal relationship. Not hard to pick up on. Anyone could have turned them in.

Oh, really? Name one. Yeah, exactly. Look, Carly made an investment months ago. Why would the SEC only start caring now?

They’re bureaucrats. It took ’em a while to get around to it.

It took you pointing them in Carly and Drew’s direction.

If Drew gets investigated, it could spill over onto ELQ, where he is a major shareholder. Now, you can accuse me of any nefarious thing, but do not accuse me of being a bad strategist!

That is your defense?

[Chuckles] Despicably turning over your cousin Drew and your other cousin Michael’s mother to the SEC is bad strategy?

Technically, Michael’s my second cousin.

That’s not the point!

Sweetheart, I applaud your technique, deny, deny, deny. And when that doesn’t work, obfuscate. Daddy would be proud.

That is exactly what I’m afraid of! He’s turning into Edward right in front of my eyes.

Robert, do you regret kissing me the other night when your car broke down?

Hell no. Just the opposite. In fact, I’d kind of like to see where this can go. But not if you feel that I’m using my position to pressure you.

Well, I appreciate your sensitivity. But no, I don’t feel pressured in the slightest. In fact, I’m intrigued by the prospect of spending more time with you. We are two sophisticated adults who understand boundaries, and I’m sure we can keep our private and professional lives separate.

I was hoping you’d say that.

Well… on that note… why don’t we celebrate our newly formed social status?

[Laughs] Well, while I appreciate you waiting until we came to terms to bring out the champagne, I’m going to point out that it’s noon.

Yeah, well, that’s the great thing about Champagne, you can drink it any time.

[Laughs]

[Tender music]

Right.

To us.

[Phone ringing]

Excuse me.

[Phone ringing]

It’s a client. Yes, what can I do for you?

I promise you, this is not the last time that we’re going to hold hands. Ok, you’re just going to be in isolation until your body accepts the new transplant and you start producing healthy cells, ok?

Listen to you, overnight medical expert.

Nah, you’re the nurse. You’re the expert here. I’m just parroting back what the doctor said.

[Heart monitor beeping]

Michael… you know how weak I am. There’s a chance I won’t live through–

Oh, hey, whoa.

[Soft dramatic music]

You’ve beaten the odds already. You’re going to beat them again, ok?

Your love is what’s gotten me this far. I don’t need to hold your hand to feel it. I can feel it in my heart.

I want you feel it too.

I do feel it. So do our children.

Your love is the most precious thing that we have.

Now would be a really good time to kiss me so I can take that with me.

It’s time.

Butter lettuce.

Lettuce.

Make sure it’s butter lettuce. It’s what the recipe calls for.

Ok. And raspberries and avocados.

And don’t forget the radishes.

God, there’s a lot of fresh ingredients on here.

Normally, I get my produce at the farmer’s market.

There’s a farmers market here?

Yeah, right next to Rice Plaza.

Oh.

We can go together.

You’re right, we can go together. Now that Sonny knows about us, there’s no reason to hide anymore.

Ok, tell the truth. How freaked out were you when Sonny busted us after the Nurses’ Ball?

Oh, I think paralyzed by fear would be accurate. I didn’t know what to say. Thank god you did.

Well, it was no use denying it. He had us dead to rights.

It’s a poor choice of words.

That’s the part about Sonny that’s so tough. Ok, we lied to him for months about being together, and he knew all along, but he didn’t retaliate. He just–he gave me credit for covering him during the warehouse ambush.

Sonny gave you credit for saving his life?

Yeah. And then he just let it go. He said it was up to your mom and he didn’t want to be the romance police.

Sonny said that?

He did.

Well, then we can take him at his word. We don’t have to hide anymore.

Unless you don’t want people to know that we’re seeing each other, which I would totally understand.

[Phone ringing]

It’s Michael. Michael, what can I do for you?

This is outrageous. How can government flunkies show up at the hospital and drag Drew off? For what, insider trading? Why were they not investigating Victor using those resources instead of letting him to come within a hair’s breadth of taking out half the world? This world has gone crazy. Question a man who saved lives, who risked his own life so that Willow could live. But no, the SEC only cares about going after a good man who made this world a better place.

Oh, Liesl, enough!

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

You know, it’s– it’s what Drew said. Let’s just focus on Willow. I mean, she’s a priority.

Of course.

Why don’t we go and see her and tell her you’re back.

Yes. Absolutely.

Come on.

Yes, yes, yes.

Drew’s coming into this blind. He had no idea the SEC was investigating him.

Drew is going to keep a cool head. He’s not going to give the SEC a reason to use anything against him.

Dante, would you mind going to the PCPD and see what’s going on with him?

Yeah, I was planning to do that anyway.

Thank you.

Ok, see you.

You know, it’s ironic. Drew asked me over and over again not to buy any Aurora stock. I didn’t listen.

[Both laughing]

Oh god, what happened to Willow?

My father was a wonderful man.

He was also a liar, a cheat, and a serial philanderer.

I loved Grandpa Edward to pieces, but he kind of was. That’s why we’re all related to Austin. Jimmy Lee Holt, remember?

Oh, don’t mention that name. The too-tight pants, the unfortunate hairstyle still makes me shudder.

Ok, we are getting off topic! The subject is Ned and the unconscionable, underhanded way that he behaved toward Drew and Carly.

Really not cool, Dad. After all of those lectures about family loyalty?

I swear, it wasn’t me! Call the SEC. They’ll tell you.

Well, what, it was an anonymous tip? Anonymous just means that they won’t reveal your name. And you know that. You’re counting on it! Look, the more you try to get us to believe that you’re innocent, the guiltier you look!

When are you going to learn it’s not the crime, it’s the cover up.

It’s not a crime to tell the SEC about insider trading.

Ah-ha!

Which I did not do! But if I had, it wouldn’t be a crime.

[Dramatic music]

Oh good lord, what are they doing here?

Our inquiry concerns the failed Aurora ELQ merger and the inflation of the ELQ stock immediately prior to the merger falling apart. Now, you’re a majority shareholder in Aurora. You own a large block of voting stock in ELQ, but you’re not the majority shareholder.

Your point?

Carly Spencer, formerly Carly Corinthos, had never owned stock in Aurora prior to the failed merger. Is that correct?

Well, hello, agents. How unfortunate we have to do this all again.

My client has nothing further to say.

[Sighs] Waste of good Champagne.

[Soft dramatic music]

Holly?

Well, looks like I’m just in time to celebrate.

Has Monica instituted an open door policy, anyone can just walk right in?

I apologize for my mother-in-law’s rudeness. Sweetheart, you are always welcome here.

Since when?

Since she’s Michael’s sister and a part of our extended family.

I don’t like your tone.

Mother, Josslyn was at the wedding.

Her hair was different. And who is he?

It’s Dex. He works for Sonny.

Oh! Well, that’s better. Now we can all be relieved that he’s gainfully employed, carrying brass knuckles and a gun for Sonny.

Who happens to be the father of my first born son.

And you were a teenager! Otherwise, you hopefully would have had better judgment and maybe even better taste.

I think Olivia showed great taste. Uncle Sonny’s the best.

The best at what, racketeering, extortion? And when did we start welcoming his employees in this house?

Don’t worry, we’re not staying.

Because you’re not invited.

All right. We’re here to pick up Wiley and Amelia. Michael wants to see them at the hospital.

[Soft dramatic music]

Willow’s been moved to isolation on the third floor, but she’s starting– she’s starting chemo to kill her diseased bone marrow and ready for the transplant.

Oh, I knew that had to happen. I’m so sorry that I panicked.

Hey, it’s ok.

Willow’s doing her part. It’s time I did mine. I will confer with Dr. Randolph and get prepped for my donation procedure.

I’ll walk with you, ok?

Liesl… what you’re doing, giving Willow a chance at life, it means everything to me and my children.

It is my privilege. Willow is family.

I just can’t believe that something that started with the best of intentions turned out so badly. All I wanted to do was support Michael and Drew. And suddenly, Ned turned it into insider trading. It’s crazy!

I know. I think it’s incredibly harsh considering everything that’s going on with Willow. But I guess when it comes to Ned, nothing else matters but ELQ.

SEC’s still in there, huh?

They are. Shouldn’t be in there long. The guy they’re questioning is represented by Diane Miller.

Yeah, Diane will have him out of there in 10, 15 minutes. I don’t think they’re going to get anything out of him.

Should you choose to move forward with this matter, you will have to calendar an interview and submit all of your questions to me in writing.

We already have enough to issue a subpoena.

[Chuckles] By which I gather you do not presently have a subpoena for my client in this matter.

No.

No. Then this interview is over.

[Dramatic music]

Not that I ever had a problem with it before, but when did you go back to drinking in the middle of the day?

Go back?

The ’80s, we were married. Do you recall?

I remember that, yeah.

Well, we drank a lot of Champagne at all hours.

It was your favorite.

Still is. So you won’t mind if I help myself?

Have a glass. Have the bottle. Just tell me what happened in Greenland.

It was quite an adventure.

[Police radio chatter]

Hey.

Hey. So Diane’s representing Drew. Agents left a little while ago. From the looks on their faces, they got nothing.

Short term, that could be great. But long term… Drew could be in a lot of trouble.

Well, your timing was impeccable. Thank you.

You can thank your ex-wife. It was Sam who called and alerted me.

I will do that. You seem to have a really good handle on this case, so I’m grateful that you’re representing me.

This was a one-off, my friend. We will have to discuss further representation down the line.

First, I got to figure out what the hell is going on.

What’s going on is you and Carly are alleged to have a personal relationship, and Carly took advantage of said relationship to make a stock purchase in anticipation of the Aurora ELQ merger.

Who brought these allegations to the SEC’s attention?

We don’t know. It was an anonymous tip.

I was on the first flight back with Drew and Obrecht. And the WSB are organizing additional flights to get the rest home.

But–I– I don’t care about the travel arrangements. I want to hear about Victor and how you stopped him.

He was running away with Obrecht as his hostage, but I was waiting there.

And you shot him.

No, I couldn’t because he was using Obrecht as a shield. However, I distracted him with the unwelcome news that he could no longer father children. You may ask how I know that, but last time I was here, I arranged for him to drink a special cocktail as punishment for kidnapping me and Ethan and forcing me to frame Anna.

Payback really is a bitch.

It was obviously a sensitive subject because Victor lost it. He tried to take a shot at me. And that gave Drew an opportunity to jump him and take him down. But during the struggle, Obrecht fell. But whilst Drew and I were focused on her, Victor ran away.

She all right?

She bumped her head. But when she came around, she was able to tell me how to save Valentin and Anna.

Save Anna?

Michael confirmed that Dr. Obrecht is back. Willow is being prepped for her bone marrow transplant.

So why do you look like you just lost your best friend?

Well, the chemo that Willow is on is really strong. Next few days are going to be tough.

But once the treatment’s over, she will be in remission, yeah?

Fingers crossed. But I’m thinking what Brook Lynn is thinking. Willow is very weak. She might not recover.

I am banning all dark thoughts from this house. The right attitude can make all the difference. Willow has so much to live for. She is going to beat this.

She has held on longer than anyone would have predicted. She can make it through.

Thank god Drew was able to find Liesl Obrecht and rescue her from Victor Cassadine and bring her back home.

Yeah, would have been a real bummer had the SEC picked up Drew before he left for Greenland.

Hey. Well?

Willow has been moved to isolation and Liesl has been admitted. She’s getting prepped to donate her bone marrow.

Oh, my god, this is what we’ve been praying for. A miracle is happening.

I know. It’s going to work. She’s going to live. Just–just the hardest part of the treatment, you know, the heavy chemo, the isolation. I just wish I could hold her and comfort her.

Hey, Willow knew it was going to be hard, but she also knew it was going to be worth it.

Yeah, and I think I found a way to show her.

Daddy!

[Laughs]

Hey, buddy.

Hey!

I see you have a new friend.

He’s Aunt Josslyn’s friend. His name’s Dex, and he was a soldier. Isn’t that cool?

Yeah. Yeah, that’s very cool. I didn’t realize aunt Josslyn was going to bring Dex along.

Well, I just wanted a little extra help with Wiley and Amelia.

Where is Mommy? Can I see her?

Well, that’s why I had Josslyn and Dex bring you and Amelia along so you can see Mommy, and so Mommy can see you.

Valentin was infected with the pathogen. Anna took a huge risk going to him and staying with him. Obviously, she could have been infected too.

[Sighs] Damn that woman.

Luckily, Obrecht was able to hide the antidote nearby, and I managed to find it and get it to Anna and Valentin.

Well, thank god for you, but what was she thinking?

Well, obviously, she loves Valentin very much, enough to put her life on the line.

Tell me something I don’t know.

Are you upset?

Only that she’s so reckless with her life.

It doesn’t bother you? You’re not jealous?

I wish her well. And Valentin, he’s her mistake to make.

That’s a relief.

Why?

[Soft dramatic music]

There were a few moments… in Greenland where I was pretty sure I was going to die.

And there was only one thing I wanted to do.

This.

So that was your family.

Extended family. One branch of it anyway.

Oh, jeez. How are you all connected?

Well, remember I told you about Tracy, Michael’s great aunt? Michael’s biological father, AJ, and Ned were first cousins. So I guess that makes Michael and Ned second cousins.

Will there be an exam on this later?

I know, it’s a lot.

That’s only one branch. What are the others?

The Spencers, the Corinthos. I might not like Sonny that much right now, but there’s this big blended sibling group and then various assorted nieces, nephews, and cousins.

And you’re ok with all those people knowing we’re together?

I want them to know.

Is that why you brought me along today to get the word out?

No, Wiley’s a lot on his own, and then we had Amelia. We had to get Amelia into the car seat, and then the car seat into the car, and then getting her back out again.

If you can stitch up a bullet wound in the middle of your brother’s living room, I’m pretty sure you can handle two kids in a car seat.

Did I put you on the spot? Did you not want to come?

No, I loved it. Getting to meet Wiley. Getting to hold Amelia while you wrestled that car seat.

I told you, it’s complicated.

I just wonder if you brought me along for help or if you were trying to make a statement.

Carly is convinced that Ned is the one that turned her and Drew in.

[Sighs] Ned reports Drew to the SEC with Carly as collateral damage? That sounds extreme.

Bu t who even knew that Carly and Drew were together? And of all the people who knew… who stands to gain the most from exposing them?

Heroism is one thing. Business is quite another. And since Drew was foolish enough to confide the merger plans in Carly, and Carly was greedy enough to try to cash in, they brought the SEC on themselves.

No, they did not. Ned brought the SEC on them when he turned them in.

For the thousandth time, I did not turn them in!

It was a smart business tactic.

It was a gross betrayal.

I didn’t do it!

You double crossed Michael and Drew with Valentin when you tanked the merger with Aurora by becoming chairman of the board of ELQ. Why do you expect us to believe you now?

Ok, I admit, I threw in my lot with Valentin, but that is standard Quartermaine family politics. It’s a far cry from turning Drew and Carly into the SEC. Drew is family. The A’s stay loyal to each other.

You talking about me behind my back?

Drew, I heard you brought back Dr. Obrecht from–

[Groans]

[Gasps]

[Dramatic music]

Ok, you got me. I wanted Michael to see us together out in the open. It was bonus that my mom was there. She’s known for months about us, but I think she was hoping I’d change my mind.

Why?

When she was my age, she had someone like you. And she said that he was the best thing to ever happen to her. Losing him almost killed her. She doesn’t want that for me.

What do you think?

[Sighs] I think that history doesn’t necessarily always repeat itself and what happened to him doesn’t have to happen to you. I mean, I’d rather be happy now than give this up because I’m scared of what might happen in the future.

So you’re happy now?

I could be happier.

How?

[Tender music]

I’ll show you.

[Heart monitor beeping]

Say hi. Hi.

You see, your mommy’s awake.

Hi, Mommy! We love you.

[ Crickets chirping ]

Liam: Okay, how much time until the kids get home?

Hope: Two words for you: Sleep. Over.

[ Exaggerated gasp ]

Liam: Both of them?

Hope: Mm-hmm. Yup, so…

Liam: [ Whispering ] Yes.

Hope: We have the entire night to ourselves. And I plan on devoting that to my very handsome husband.

Liam: Oh, no complaints here.

Finn: Hey. Thanks again for taking on bedtime duties solo.

Steffy: Hey, my husband wants an after-dinner dip in the ocean and I make that happen. No ulterior motives here, I swear.

Finn: No?

Steffy: None whatsoever. No.

Finn: Oh, okay, okay.

Steffy: Mm. You’re just so sexy. And I’m so lucky to be your wife. Not because of… all of this. I mean– I mean, yes, but… but this. I’m so blessed to have you in my life.

Finn: I think I’m the lucky one. I’m married to a woman that’s such a beautiful force of nature. Come here.

[ Pencil scratching ]

R.J.: You’re always sketching, aren’t you, thomas?

Thomas: What’s that?

R.J.: Oh, you know. Just you and a sketchpad, never far apart. Is dad that much of a tyrant, you know? He’s got you designing 24/7?

Thomas: No.

R.J.: Okay. Never mind. Seems like you’re in some sort of artistic trance. Well, I’ll let you be.

Thomas: Hang on, R.J. I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Hold on.

[ Laughs ] I just… yeah, you know what? I should– I should take a– a minute away from this. I’ve been working on it for a while.

R.J.: Wow. Looks great.

Thomas: Thanks.

R.J.: Can totally see hope wearing it. That’s the whole point, right? Why you two are so successful? You know, her visions coming to life through your hands?

Thomas: My hands.

R.J.: Yeah, I’m assuming that’s how you, uh, normally hold a pencil, unless you’ve been designing by foot, all of these years. ‘Cause if so, dude, you gotta let me record that. We could go viral.

[ Thomas chuckles ] Yeah.

R.J.: So, you seriously seem to be working a lot. You ever get bored of being in the office?

Thomas: No, not really. I– I– I like it. I love being here and being productive. But what about you? Why– why are you here at this hour?

R.J.: Oh, I was just having dinner with mom across the street. Thought I’d pop in, see if hope was still here. Do you know where she is?

Thomas: No. Should I?

R.J.: Uh, yeah.

[ Chuckles ] From what I’ve heard, it sounds like hope spends all of her time with you.

Liam: Well…

Hope: Hmm.

Liam: This night certainly took a turn. Here, I thought I was gonna be home alone with the kids, while you were working late.

Hope: Yeah. I think there have been too many late work nights lately. And I– I need some much-needed hubby time. And, uh, I think we need to make more nights like this a priority. I really wanna spend more time with each other, focusing on us, our relationship, and I’m, um… I’m sorry that I haven’t been there for you as much as I would like to be right now.

Finn: Hayes get his 10 kisses?

Steffy: Oh! More like 12.

Finn: 12?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Oh, the boy’s upping his game?

Steffy: He certainly knows how to work me.

Finn: Yeah, well, like father, like son.

Steffy: [ Laughs ] Yeah, that is true.

[ Groaning ]

Finn: You okay?

Steffy: Yeah, no, it’s just, um… ah…

Finn: What?

Steffy: Something happened at the office today.

Finn: Something that worries you? Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

[ R.J. Chuckles ]

R.J.: You know, I think it’s pretty cool, that my half-brother, through my father, is designing for my half-sister through my mom. Makes me feel like I’m a part of it all. You know, like I’m this thing connecting everyone together.

Thomas: But?

R.J.: But, you know one of the reasons I was out of the country for so long, thomas? I don’t necessarily like being the one connecting everybody. It’s a lot of pressure. I– you know? It’s– and it’s just asking for trouble. Especially when someone is bringing on a lot of drama.

[ Thomas chortles ]

Thomas: Yeah. Someone. I know that someone is me.

R.J.: Thomas, you’re my brother. Okay? I’m always going to care about you. But… you crossed lines that should have never been crossed. And you didn’t just do it one time, thomas. You did it multiple times.

Thomas: You’re right. I did. Look, I– I’ve been working on myself and I think I’m finally the kind of brother you can actually be proud of.

R.J.: We’re good now, thomas. I’m– I’m taking you at your word. Okay? But you understand why I’ve been away for so long, right? Like, you get it?

Thomas: Yeah, I get it. And I promise I don’t want to meddle in our dad’s love life ever again.

R.J.: I mean, that’s– that’s good. I’m glad to hear it. If our dad decides to get back together with my mom or your mom, or… I don’t know, someone else entirely, it’s– it’s their business. It’s not ours, right?

Thomas: 100%.

R.J.: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah. I’ve interfered for the last time. All right? Their– their relationships, their problems. It’s their business.

R.J.: Facts. And, you know, I’m assuming it’s the same deal with hope. Right? No more interfering there. Thomas, where do things stand between you and my sister?

Liam: Ooh, what do we got? What do we got? What do we got? What is this? Is this the, um… is this that cab we got from the winery last summer?

Hope: Yup.

Liam: Wow. You know something? I kind of thought you were saving it for our anniversary.

Hope: Saving it for a special occasion. Which this is. A toast. To what really matters. I– I know I have been pretty focused on work lately, but at the end of the day, nothing matters more to me than this family. My handsome husband. Our beautiful children. This house that we’ve made a home. So, here’s to us.

Liam: To us.

[ Clinking ]

Finn: Honey, what’s going on? Hmm? A situation at work? Is it something I can help with?

Steffy: No. But it’s really sweet of you to offer. And I’m not entirely sure if it’s even a situation or… maybe I’m reading too much into it. God, I hope so, because there’s so much riding on the line.

Finn: A while ago you were worried about hope for the future. And whether or not thomas should work on the line again. Does this have anything to do with that? With hope and your brother?

Steffy: Yeah.

If you have this…

Thomas: Hope and I are doing really well now. As co-parents, as coworkers. I mean, look, we’ve got a strong and solid and platonic relationship.

R.J.: And you’ve accepted that’s just all it’s ever gonna be?

Thomas: Yeah. Look, I– I get it. She’s your sister. You’re protective. I know exactly how that feels. You love her.

R.J.: Yeah, of course. I mean, she’s amazing. She deserves the best.

Thomas: She does.

R.J.: You thought that was you for a long time, didn’t you, thomas?

Thomas: Look, I came back from new york and I was a single dad. I– I didn’t know how to fill my son’s life and– and– and he needed a mother and he connected with hope. And it was a beautiful thing and she really, really filled that role in his life. And for that I will always love her.

R.J.: I get it. Hope is a very caring, kind person. But she’s married to someone else now, thomas.

Thomas: I get that. And I didn’t respect that marriage in the past. I did a lot of things that hurt a lot of people. Especially in our family and… I don’t know how, but at some point, I was able to earn back some of their forgiveness. I don’t think I deserve it. But I think I finally got to the point where I realize in myself, I– I’m not that person anymore. So, I can promise you, hope and her marriage to liam, they have nothing to worry about.

Liam: I hope you know… how much this means to me. How you’ve invested in us, I-in our marriage. Um, ’cause I admit, I– you know, I was worried when you said that you would work with thomas again. I just kind of assumed it would put a strain on the relationship, especially with you spending the majority of your time at– at the office. But, you know–

Hope: Liam, can we–

Liam: Yeah?

Hope: — Maybe not talk about thomas? Tonight is supposed to be about us.

Liam: Yes. Yes. That’s way better, way better topic. Us. Uh, um, much more interesting.

Hope: Yeah. And, uh, sexier, too.

Liam: Yeah. Yeah.

Finn: So, this problem weighing on you, it’s– it’s about hope for the future, isn’t it?

Steffy: Not only is my husband incredibly sexy, he is very perceptive. I– no, seriously, you are, like, the smartest man I know.

Finn: So, that means I’m right.

Steffy: The line is doing well. The preorders are doing better than expected.

Finn: Yeah?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Okay, well, that’s– that’s great.

Steffy: It is great. It is. Uh, but–

Finn: Well, so, if you aren’t concerned about the line itself, that must mean that… you’re concerned about the people behind it. Was it a mistake letting hope and thomas work together?

[ Steffy laughs softly ] Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

R.J.: I’m impressed. You made some serious improvements, man. And I’m– I’m genuinely proud of the person you’re becoming.

Thomas: Hey, right back at you.

R.J.: Oh, come on, you don’t mean that. You’re just happy that I’m wasting my life away on the internet.

Thomas: Um, I don’t know if I would define lining up sponsorships and traveling all over the world on those sponsorships as “wasting time.”

[ Soft chuckle ]

R.J.: I just got a great idea.

Thomas: What?

R.J.: You should explain that to dad.

Thomas: Nope.

R.J.: Why not?

Thomas: Come on.

R.J.: Please?

Thomas: No. I just told you that I am not getting involved in anybody’s business or meddling around. Okay? And I don’t think anybody could tell dad that, uh, ridge forrester, jr. Is not supposed to be a fashion designer. It’s not happening. But, you know what? If you ever feel like you wanna come in here, you wanna work on some designs with me, or just see the process, you’re always welcome. I’m– I’m right here.

R.J.: Thank you, thomas. I appreciate it.

Thomas: Glad you’re back, R.J.

R.J.: Well, hey, that makes two of us.

[ Contented sighing ]

Liam: Wow. Okay. Wow. That was, uh… that was, uh… that– that ju– that was, um… I don’t know what’s gotten into you lately, but you have– you have never been more passionate or– or in the moment. Oh, my god, I– I love it. It’s amazing.

Hope: Yeah, I just, um… just want you to know how I feel. It’s important for me to… to show you how much I love you.

Finn: You’re concerned with your brother collaborating with hope?

Steffy: Yeah, you’re right.

Finn: Well, have you not been reassuring liam about all this? Just tell him that there’s no reason to worry?

Steffy: Yes, I have.

Finn: Look, I– I know he’s not crazy about the idea of thomas and hope spending so much time together.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. Mm, that’s– that’s putting it mildly.

Finn: And despite all the work and therapy thomas has put in, he still thinks that– thomas is obsessed with hope and that he’s gonna make a move and– and try and do something. And I thought at least, well, until tonight, that you felt the opposite. I th-thought you believed in thomas.

Steffy: I– I do. That hasn’t changed.

Finn: Okay. Well, so much for being the smartest man. You know, ’cause I– I thought that’s where you were–

Steffy: No, no, no, I– look. Thomas is better. And I– I trust him completely. And I won’t let anyone or anything derail the progress he’s made.

Finn: Uh, okay. So, you’re– you’re concerned with liam and his negativity? Try not to worry. Okay? Liam will figure it out for himself. H-he will see that there is no problem and that there’s no reason to be worried.

Steffy: Let’s not waste any more time talking about hope or liam.

Finn: Got something else in mind?

Steffy: Yeah, I have something in mind. Doesn’t involve talking.

Steffy: Do you have

feelings for thomas?

Are you actually turning

into your mother?

Hope: You know, moments like this are so important. And I– I know I’ve been really distracted with work lately and I just– I hope you know how much you and our family– I mean, you come first, always. I– I love you and you’ll never doubt that, right?

Liam: I don’t doubt you. I have never doubted you. I have never questioned your feelings or your loyalty, and I never will.

Mariah: I am, a very nice time. Uh, but I was hoping that you could enlighten me.

Sharon: Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Mariah: So, I obviously know about harmony from Devon. Um, but this is the first time we’ve met. What I don’t understand is Ashley. She seems to be staring daggers at harmony every time she thinks somebody isn’t looking.

Sharon: Uh, good observation skills.

Mariah: It’s a gift.

Sharon: Back when tucker and Ashley were married, he and harmony had a moment.

Mariah: Got it, got it. So, harmony is not Ashley’s favorite person. Well, that certainly makes things interesting.

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

Devon: Yeah, I was just thinking about how almost everything in my life I have today because Neil was gracious enough all those years ago to welcome me into your family. And you and I are running a company right now that only exists because he was willing to create it with me. And I’ve never imagined being able to do enough in life to thank him or honor him properly. And I don’t know why it took me this long to think of doing this because it makes so much sense to me, but… I wanna take Neil’s last name and legally go by Devon Winters.

[Lily exhaling] Would you be okay with me doing something like that?

Harmony: That’s exactly how it should be.

Devon: Yeah? Malcolm, what do you think?

Malcolm: Hey. You know what he would say, right?

Devon: I think he’d say, “my man.”

Malcolm: My man. Devon, he would love this. Now, you know him. He’d try to keep it all cool on the outside when on the inside, he’d be a mess. You’re doing the right thing. Look at you. My boy is finally part of the family. You’re a Winters now and you’re my brother.

Devon: Thank you. Thank you, man.

Malcolm: Yeah.

Devon: Lily, do you approve of me doing this too?

[Lily chuckling]

Lily: Of course, I approve. I– I love this. I mean, what a beautiful way to honor dad. And you’re already my brother, in every way. Devon Winters. Devon and Lily Winters.

Devon: Sounds– sounds good.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh my God, it’s you. I take it. You know me. By reputation as we’ve never been formally introduced, allow me to remedy that. Eight Roberts Brady. My name is Dimitri Vanner. And I assure you the pleasure is mine,

Roman. That’s wonderful news. Oh my gosh. That’s great. I’ll tell everybody for you. Yeah. Wait, wait. Okay. You still have to find Kate, but, but now we have reason to hope. I know. I’m so pleased. I’m so pleased. I’ll, I’ll, I’ll, I’ll get back to you. Yeah. Bye-bye.

Oh, hi there. Hey, I was just talking to your dad. Wonderful news. Um, it, it appears that Kate got away from Bo and Roman thinks that she’s alive. That’s that scream. It is great. That’s incredible. I mean, dad must be happy. He’s happy. What, uh, What’s going on with you? Look at me.

Oh my goodness. Uh uh. How did that happen? No, it’s nothing. Mom. It, it’s nothing. I don’t think it’s nothing. I ran into a door.

Okay. I ran into E j’s fist.

Nicole went to the hospital. Why didn’t you say that in the first place? Because I’m still not sure. She wasn’t faking the whole thing. What whole thing? Well, we were arguing and then all of a sudden she grabbed her stomach and claimed that she was having these terrible cramps. Why didn’t you say that to me when you first saw me?

What kind of coldhearted person are you? Hey, I’m the one who took her to the er. Okay. Um, was she seen to, is she all right now? How the hell should I know? Wait, you didn’t even wait with her? Well, Nicole and I are in best season. Come on. Don’t get all bent outta shape. I told her it’s probably gas. He’s a drama queen.

What? Him? God’s name is wrong with you. Whoa. Get your hands off of her.

How can I be pregnant? I’m on the pill. Well, the pill is highly effective. But I’m sure you know that it doesn’t prevent a hundred percent of pregnancies. But the the cramps, why was I having cramps? They were probably just little contractions, which is normal in early pregnancy. They stopped on their own and you’re not spotting.

So I’m not concerned at the moment, but I do think that you should do a follow up exam with your ob gyn given your medical history, especially in light of the fact that you’ve. Had difficulties going full term with your pregnancies and all the risks that go along with that. Oh my God, I did not see this coming.

It’s a lot to take in. Ah, obviously was unplanned. Yeah, it was unplanned and, and, and not just because the pregnancy is dangerous for me and the baby, but also, so what, Kayla, I don’t even know who the father is.

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

Just keep the ice on it.

Was this the result of a ballroom fight? No, I gave those up. AJ punched me. And it took all my restraint not to punch him back. Well, there’s a comfort. Why did he hit you? Come on, please let it go. That means it was Nicole. Now I know why they pay you the big bucks. So tell me what happened. You’re not gonna like it.

I don’t expect to like it. EJ sucker punched me when he found out that Nicole and I slept together.

Save your righteous indignation. Nicole fell ill while she was alone with your beloved, and now she’s making jokes about it. Nicole didn’t fall ill. We were arguing and I was winning, and all of a sudden she got the vapors let her go. Who are you to flinging accusations at? Anyone else? Your knuckles are all red.

Ej. How’d that happen? It was an accident. What’d you knock out this time? No one. Hmm? Were you gonna need to start playing? My cj You have a performance review coming up? I’m not wasting any more time with the two of you. I’m gonna the hospital. Oh, Eric bastard. So is Nicole faking or is she actually in pain?

I don’t know. I, I don’t know. But you know what? If she is sick, I hope it’s serious. So you were with more than one man recently? Yeah, and I’m in a committed relationship with ej. Then why would you do that? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s not of my business. I dunno know why I said that. Kayla, I, I want you to know, do you remember those magic.

Biscuits. Well, Eric had one too. Are you saying that? Yeah. Eric and I were eyes guides and we had a one night stand.

You just have to be firm with him. Julie, tell him, tell him that if that he can’t wiggle his tooth. I know. Tell him if he keeps wiggling it, then uh, then the tooth fairy is not gonna show up. And, and do me a favor and tell him and Charlotte that I, that I love them and, and I miss them both very much. And, And I’ll be home soon.

Um, look, there’s somebody at the door. Julie, I gotta go. Thank you for everything and uh, I’ll, I’ll call you again in the morning. Okay, I will. Bye bye.

Hey, hey, uh, anything new about Bob? Uh, not since he squeezed hope’s hand. Oh, hey, come here. Sure. Kayla said it’s gonna be a long road back for him. Hope and I have been talking about moving him to a long-term care facility. Right. Well, it’s, it’s good to have him back in the land of the living. It’s a shame he’s not recovering faster.

Yeah. Well, my brother’s tough. I’m not counting him out. No, no. Anybody who knows about Brady wouldn’t count him out. That man’s a survivor just like Kate is. Yeah. I knocked on Steve’s door. He wasn’t, theres he, uh, looking for, uh, yeah, he took off a, a little while ago. Did he say where he was headed? I can catch you.

Uh, look. Yes. Um, but, uh, there’s something that you should know, okay? Uh, and I’m, I, I’m not sure you’re gonna like it.

I know who you are. Mr. Vam. Leischner, you’re the fancy cousin to the low lives, Carly and Frankie. He also posed as an I s A agent named Kyle. Somebody. Graham. I take it. Agent Reid refilled you in. Billy told me you had an accent. Yes, but Kyle Graham doesn’t, and I find myself reverting to his voice whenever I speak to Americans.

Tell me how is Agent Reid? I have such fond memories of romancing her as we jetted around the globe about the Issa’s money. Yeah. I know all about the tango in New Orleans, the hot kiss in Amsterdam. The fact is she knows that she was played by you. Actually. She’s forgotten all about you. Wow. I guess I had that coming.

You totally did. Still, I found her quite captivating and now I see where she gets it. Okay. So you know, don’t even bother. You’re immune to my charts. Mm-hmm. Just the way Billy was at the end when she took you down. Agent Graham, your plot blew up in your face. Why aren’t you in prison? That’s my business.

Hmm. Okay. So if you can answer that, answer this, why am I on this lousy boat gutting fish when I could be home in Salem with my loved ones? So you’re telling me that you slept on the coal because? Because we were both under the influence of the tainted biscuits. It was one time thing. We both knew it was a mistake.

Did you tell Sloan? I didn’t have to. She was the one that walked in on us. I thought she’d be quiet about it because she said she totally understood. Like she knows ej. I don’t know why she would bring it up to him, but she did. Yeah, she did total blow to his fragile Malee ego. And he found out about it. I told him it meant nothing and he just wouldn’t believe it.

And did it. Did what did it mean? Nothing to you? Nothing to Nicole.

Eric and I were hallucinating when we were having sex. Kayla, we didn’t know what we were doing. Mm-hmm. Oh my God. Could the drug hurt the baby? I think it’s too early to know that

this is such a mess.

Oh, hi. What are you? What are you doing here? I had to know if you are all right. Didn’t I? Is she.

You know, the least EJ could have done was, thank you for taking a call to the hospital. Yeah, no kidding. She’s working day and night to have us canned. You should had her take a cab. Yeah. Well, I’m not a horrible person. Can’t do that. Even to her. I mean, I was hoping to earn some brownie points with whom?

Cj, what the hell was I thinking? He ball me off for not staying there with her and holding her hand. I mean, obviously that was a big mistake. Mm-hmm. You gonna add that to your scaling performance review? Of course I am. Oh, that reminds me, MI was about to send yours when she started writing in pain. What you mean she didn’t send it?

Yeah, she was just getting her laptop out of her bag. When That laptop? Yeah. That

You thinking what? I’m thinking.

I was high as a kite mom. So was Nicole. What happened was the last thing either of us wanted, look, I’ve been researching the ingredients in those biscuits, and I should tell you there’s nothing in them that would increase libido. Okay, so what are you insinuating? Well, just that you and Nicole have always had a very strong attraction to each other, and you would mean you wouldn’t necessarily regret of co mom.

Of course. Regret as soon as to cold. She’s with ej now I’m with Sloan, and please don’t, don’t ask me why. I think I know why Mom. Nicole doesn’t know that EJ knows about us. Are you sure? Yeah, of course. I’m sure. I’ve called her and she hasn’t called me back. And ej, he was irritated. He was, he was enraged.

I’m afraid that Nicole’s gonna get blindsided. Ej, you can’t just barge in here. Kayla, I thought you were in Greece. I was, but as you can see, I’m now with a patient who happens to be my girlfriend. Gabby said that you suddenly started feeling terrible pain. Wasn’t that terrible? And it’s, it’s over now. You don’t have to worry.

Ej, Kayla could, could you give AJ and me a few minutes alone? Um, sure. Okay. Just make sure you see me before you leave because I wanna discuss your, uh, follow-up care. Okay. Uhhuh. Okay. Let me get dressed now.

Ej, I’m sorry, Gabby scared you and, and she. Should have made so much out of it, but I’m fine now. Well, that’s a relief. Um, does Kayla know why you had this pain? It’s just something I ate. I didn’t agree with me. Obviously a delayed reaction to the biscuits maybe? Yeah. That. That might have been it, but like I said, it was, it’s nothing.

It couldn’t have been nothing Gabby despises you, yet she was worried enough to drive you here and now you are fine. And it was just a tummy ache. I’m, I’m sorry, I, I, I find that hard to believe. What are you saying in light? Well, it’s possible, isn’t it? After all, you lied to me about sleeping with Eric.

God, I’ve kind of called Nicole Honey. I’m sure she will call you back as soon as she gets your message. All right, mom, please don’t try to shrink me. I know you don’t like ej and you don’t like Sloan. I we’re not. Talk about what I’m feeling. I’m curious. How are you feeling at the moment? Not great. Uhhuh is your head throbbing?

Hold still. Let me look at that. Oh, honey, that is not gonna close without stitches. Let me take you to the hospital. Mom, look, you know what? You’ll end up with a scar if you don’t. I don’t care. Or you’ll end up with an infection. If you don’t, you’re a doctor. Stitch it up. I don’t have my bag. This is not exactly a sterile environment and an ER is, it’s full of sick people.

Yeah. But I have some connections there. I could probably get you into an exam room. You’re not gonna let this go, are you? No, I’m not. Let’s go.

So what do you think her password is, Holly? No, that’s, that’s too obvious. Uh, hold on a second. I remember she was typing it in when she was grabbing her stomach in pain. Yeah. Oh, I love your memory. Okay. You do realize that it is highly unethical for me to access and alter an evaluation by job performance, right.

Like it’s not unethical for her to lie about you. That report of hers is probably calling you everything in the book you want. You wanna let that go in. I mean, I know I, I started this whole thing when I hired you to do these job performances, but what a crockett’s become, huh? No, Stephan, listen, everything that I wrote about either Damer is accurate.

Okay. From his annuity attitude for, to his nasty colon, to him letting his mistress from this company for him. You are one of the most ethical people I know. I bet Nicole did put that in her report. Oh, wow. Okay. So she must have actually been in pain because she left the file wide open. Seriously read it.

Scattered, inattentive, possibly brain damaged. What the hell? Okay. Insist on using plural. They in business correspondence. What? What is she even talking about? They is plural. Also fails to use inclusive language such as Latin X. Wow. Okay. Here you go. He’s completely unfamiliar with social media apps and pop culture references, which severely undermines his ability to understand new markets.

For example, he has no idea who the singer Lizzo is. Lizzo Lizzo. It’s Lizzo. Okay. This is not unimportant. Influencers like H can dramatically impact a company’s profit margin. Are you? Kidding me. Wait, wait. You seriously don’t know who Liz is? I, I don’t know. Okay. We’ll have to work on that, but just keep, keep reading.

It’s fine. You’re not gonna believe this. What? What is it? In summation, the Demer family is overjoyed at Stephan’s Recovery, but I regret to say that after four years of being kept alive by artificial means, Stephan is no way prepared to run a multinational corporation. Oh, and here’s a lovely comment. She included from an unnamed employee, wish he’d stayed dead.

Fat bitch.

I am surprised at your reaction, Kate. I made sure that this vessel was both seaworthy and comfortable, and as I was told, that you have spent years of your life studying the finer points of fish. Chopping enough. Okay. Just tell me why I’m here. Hmm. Let’s just say that. Um. You’re of great value to me as a hostage.

Okay, then call my husband and demand a ransom from Roman Brady. Where would he get the money? Is police pension or the proceeds of his cd? Little tavern. Okay. Believe me, he’s quite resourceful and he will find a way, whatever it is, to pay what he needs to to get me back. Are you sure about that? Yeah, I am sure about that because I have friends and I have family that can help him.

Oh, friends and I places Chad Dira is like my son. So why don’t you call him so we can end this first and I can go home.

Okay. So, uh, Harris Michaels is on the case now. Whose idea was that? Andrew Donovans, he thinks that Michaels is our best hope to find Kate and Kate was was taken off the island on a boat. Michaels is a Navy Seal and apparently an expert at tracking ships that have gone missing. All right. My problem with this is I’m not convinced he’s fully deprogrammed, so I’m not convinced we can trust him.

Look what the hell he did with Steven Cal. I understand he kept him in a damn cell. I understand that, but because of him, they were rescued the very next day, okay? I get that you are willing to give him the benefit of the death. If it helps find Kate. I don’t care where that help comes from.

Kayla, huh? Oh my God, I can’t believe it. Oh, I’m so happy to see. What about you? What happened to your face? Oh, it’s nothing. Nothing. You’re bleeding. Mm-hmm. Thank you. That’s what I’ve been saying. Stitches, doctor’s orders. Ah. Mm-hmm. I, uh, I didn’t know that you were home. Yeah. I can’t tell you how good it’s to see you here.

Yes, it’s good to be back. I really thought I, I wouldn’t see this place again. I understand. Have you seen both? Yes. He’s showing some signs of awareness, but it’s gonna be a long memory. We’re all praying for him. Uh, uh, update on Kate. No, and uh, Roman is not gonna give up until he finds her. Stephen Chad stayed behind in Greece.

I just wish that there was more to go on. I do too. Well gotta get this one stitched up. Yeah. Oh, get care of yourself. Yeah. Oh. Oh. Eric, please just, just leave it.

It’s no secret that. I slept with Eric, but that was before. Don’t waste your breath. I ran into Sloane Peterson earlier and she was delighted to tell me every, everything. Well, she’s lying and she hates me, and she would do everything. Confronted what? Why would he? I confronted him on it and he spilled the beans.

I also overheard you on the phone with him the other night. Swearing into secrecy about something. Now I know where that something is.

I would’ve told you, but, but you were high as a kite on those biscuits and it was one off thing that meant nothing. Yes. Yes. That’s what Eric said. But I’d also built up a head of steam and I took it out on him. Oh. And I came home to confront you on it, and that’s when I found out that you were sick and all my anger just dissipated and all I could care about was finding you.

I just. Didn’t think that you would understand

Nicole.

The only thing I don’t understand is why you felt the need to lie to me

because I knew how upset you get it. Given my history with Eric and your history. With Eric. Look, I understand that you may have been afraid, but I got it outta my system when I punched Eric. Gee, did you hurt him? Ah, he’s fine. More or less.

What about you? Just some skin knuckles and a new awareness that life isn’t always under my control, but I am more concerned about you right now. Are you really? Okay. This all feels like quite a lot just for a tummy ache.

What do you mean? I heard Kayla say that she wanted to discuss your follow up plan for IgEs. Really,

Nicole, look at me darling. Are you seriously ill?

No, and, and don’t think that for a minute.

That’s relief. But I know you and I know there’s something you aren’t telling me.

You’re right, ej. There he is.

To this, through no fault of his own, Stephan was completely out of touch with the real world for at least four years, but here’s my part, okay? But in spite of this, he shows amazing attention to detail. He’s also a joy to work with and has fostered a very positive office culture. I hope he stays with the company.

Permanently. Hmm. So what do you think? I think you’re brilliant.

Oh, do we have to finish this now? Well, Nicole could walk in any minute, so, yeah. Work fast. Okay. But I have to get all your good points. Mm-hmm. See, I have to tell them how smart you are and how good you are in business matters. And how sexy and how handsome. Okay. Forget it. Screw

um, it’s a, it’s a patient’s record. You can’t really see that. And you know what? We’ve gotta get you treated. Hmm. I could do it. I, I just can’t do it right this minute. Oh, well I can stitch ’em up, right. Let, let me text the attending physician. Thank you. Yeah. Sale wasn’t the same without you. Thank you. So when the attending, uh, uh, turns up, will you let him know that we’ll be waiting in my office?

I’ll, I’ll do that. Thanks. Take care. Thank you. Mm-hmm.

Ej, I don’t know why this is so hard to tell you. Tell me what.

Kayla. Thanks that I’m in the early stages of menopause. Oh,

and that’s it.

That’s it. And you’re upset? Well, yeah. Because it’s came as such a surprise and I’m not ready. I want to let you know that there is nothing that will make you less beautiful or desirable to me. Right? Until you’re fanning me with magazines because I’m having hot flash. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it.

I am just relieved that it isn’t anything more serious.

You have told me everything. Yes.

Yes. Don’t worry about me, ej. I’m healthy and that is the truth.

You know, Chad, damn. I mean, I, I drive myself nuts trying to figure out what the hell happened to Kate. And then I have thoughts like, damn, it’s windy out on that ocean. What if she’s in a small boat at Capsized and San? You can’t go down that road. What if she’s marooned out there by herself? We don’t even know where in the hell to start.

Look, okay, listen. Michael’s has old friends that are coast guards. They’re helping him. Okay, good. Good idea. I like that. Roman, you can do things that we can’t. Okay. We’re gonna find her. All right. She’s cheated that three times since this nightmare started. She’s alive. Okay. I can, I can feel it in my bones.

Thank you for saying that, and I hope you’re right. But I wanna say something to you, Chad. I’m sorry. I have no right to lay my troubles on you of all people, John, Steve, and I. We have had a chance with the women. We love Roman. Listen to me. I need you to keep the faith nice. Try Kate. But I’m not calling Chad Dira or anyone else who can track me on my phone.

You haven’t heard of a burner phone? I’m not ready to make my demands known. There’s still many factors at play. Much factors. You being here is not just a random occurrence. You do know that Well, I know that now. Good, good. You escaping that island and winding up in this little fishing boat with yours.

Truly, it’s all part of a much larger plan.

Well, why can’t I be in on that much larger plan? I mean, who am I gonna tell the fish all in good time? But for now, how about a. Tango. Let’s see how you measure up to your lovely Don at the Don’t touch me. I wouldn’t dance with you if you were the last person on earth. Okay. As you wish.

Back to the fish you go.

Okay. Well, looks like I’m ready to send you. Same. Go for it.

All right. Looks like the board is gonna get a glowing review of your work from Nicole an a scathing thumbs down review of AJ’s work from me and in the board’s, endless dysfunction. They’ll probably ignore both. Hopefully not, but you know what? At least we’ve taken the first step. You and I are gonna run this company now.

Where were we?

I think we should do this in private. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Oh, Eric, what are you doing here? Reading stitches match. Remember when you sucker punch me, it brings you here. Oh, I had my hand looked at anyways. I’m sure you’ll be glad to hear that Nicole and I talk things through. We both understand that your little one night stand meant absolutely nothing to her. So let’s just pretend it.

Didn’t happen, shall we? Sounds good to me.

Thanks for warning me, Eric. That is too late. Well, I should probably delete this.

Hey, uh, how did it go with ej?

He knows I slept with Eric. How did he find out? Eric’s new girlfriend, Sloane Peterson. I see. Did you tell him you’re pregnant? No. No, I, I told him I was going through early stages of menopause and I won’t tell Eric either. And as of now, this has to be my decision. Just so you know, I just ran into Eric in the nurse’s station.

He’s here. Yes. But I didn’t even hint that you were in the building. Thank you, Kayla. I, I went through my calendar and I still don’t know who the baby’s father is. How long until I can find out? Well, we could do a vaginal ultrasound, but I don’t think it’s gonna tell you anything different. In a few weeks we could do a blood test that would be definitive, but you’re gonna have to get a DNA sample from one of these perspective fathers.

Okay. How you holding up?

There are so many things. Going through my head, not until I find out whose baby I’m carrying, aside from you and me, no one can know that I’m pregnant.

Kyle: Mom? Mom?

Diane: Kyle.

[ Kyle laughing ]

Kyle: I’m so glad you’re home.

Diane: Oh, me too.

[ Diane laughing ]

Harmony: It’s so wonderful to see you, son.

Devon: It’s amazing to see you.

Harmony: Let me take a look at you. Just as handsome as ever.

Devon: You look beautiful.

Harmony: Oh, well, thank you for saying so.

Devon: How did this happen? I didn’t know you were in town.

Harmony: Oh, it is the most incredible thing. I was in chicago working at a conference for the last few days and as I was leaving, tucker reaches out to me. Yeah, told me about this lounge and neil’s name and how you and lily were gonna put together this event to celebrate his memory. Yeah, he even sent a fancy car to bring me here.

Devon: Tucker did that?

Harmony: Yeah.

Diane: Thank you both for never giving up on me. Even when I thought it was hopeless. And how lucky am I that michael was my lawyer? He managed to pull off the impossible, getting me out of that jail, at least for now.

Jack: No, forever. We are in this with you for the long fight.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. Dad and I are not going to give up until we prove your innocence.

Diane: Well, I know the two of you believe that I had nothing to do with phyllis’s murder, but there’s a lot of people in this town who feel differently, including your wife. How is summer going to react when she sees me here in her home? I don’t want to cause any tension in your marriage.

Kyle: I am going to do everything I can to help summer accept that we are all back under this roof, together. Because you need to be here. This is your home too.

Jack: That’s exactly what I told your mother.

Diane: It’s almost like the two of you rehearsed that.

Kyle: Uh, does she know about, um…

Diane: Know about what?

Jack: I think he is referring to a new house guest we have who is complicating things a bit.

Diane: Someone else moved in? Who?

Jack: Brace yourself. Tucker.

Diane: Tucker mccall is living here?

[ Diane scoffing ]

Devon: So tucker, you invited my mom here.

Tucker: I did. Yeah, I thought it would be nice for her to be here and to see you.

Devon: Well, that was an incredible gesture.

Tucker: I’m just glad it worked out.

Diane: Why on earth would tucker… it was ashley, wasn’t it?

Jack: My sister claims she has every right since I brought you into this house without her approval. She’s just trying to prove a point. But worse, I think she actually has feelings for the guy.

>>Kyle: He’s taken over our guest room, for now. And smartly, stayed out of summer’s and my way. Last thing we need is the aggravation.

Jack: I will do everything I can to contain this for all our sakes.

Kyle: Especially summer’S.

Summer: Diane. What are you doing here?

Trelegy for copd.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Devon: I can’t even believe I’m looking at you.

Harmony: I know. It’s crazy.

Devon: Yeah.

Harmony: Oh, too bad ana wasn’t available, but she’s touring with jett, so.

Devon: Yeah, I would have loved to have seen her too.

Harmony: Right?

Devon: But I’ll take what I can get. Phone calls and text messages don’t compare to being with you.

Harmony: No, you’re so right. And I am long overdue for some one on one time with my little grandbaby. Cannot wait to wrap that little baby in my arms.

Devon: Yes. We will make that happen as soon as possible.

Harmony: Yes.

Devon: ‘Cause dom would love to meet his amazing grandma.

Harmony: Oh, well, I don’t know how amazing I am but I sure am eager to meet him.

Devon: I think you’re amazing. Look at everything you’ve accomplished in the last few years. You have a degree and you’ve been clean and sober for almost two decades. There’s nothing easy about any of that. I’m very proud of you.

Harmony: Mm. Well, to hear you say it like that, I’m proud of me too.

Devon: Good, you should be. How’s your job?

Harmony: So far so good.

Devon: Yeah.

Harmony: Yeah, I love what I do. I do, I do. I just, uh, I get to contribute to the community. I get to help people in need. I remember what it was like to be in their shoes, you know. So, it’s just so much more rewarding.

Devon: Good. It’s amazing.

Harmony: Yeah. But look who’s talking, you know. I’m sorry, it makes my heart want to burst seeing how well you’re doing, you know. Your son, abby, and– and– and, oh, I’m so relieved that the two of you, you and lily resolved your issues. The two of you working side by side again.

Devon: I know. It feels like everything in my life is moving in the right direction.

Harmony: Yes. Well, even with tucker? Seems like he’s trying to make up for lost time.

Devon: He is. He really is. And I think that making this happen is a great start.

Tucker: Hey, victor.

Victor: Tucker.

Tucker: Enjoying your expanded empire?

Victor: I have big plans for your company, you know.

Tucker: I should hope so.

Victor: By the way, it’s very touching what you did. Bringing harmony to see devon.

Tucker: Well, anything for your son, right?

Victor: Right.

Abby: Hi.

Nikki: Hi, abby. What a great job you did of planning this. It’s a wonderful evening.

Abby: Oh, thank you. That means a lot coming from a party planning expert like yourself.

Nikki: Oh, I don’t know about that.

Abby: Please, what you did with that bicentennial gala? It was an unforgettable night.

Nikki: It was a lovely evening until…

Abby: Right. Yes, let’s hope tonight has a much better ending.

Nate: This is a wonderful surprise. So, are you two the welcoming committee?

Nikki: Hi, nate.

Nate: Abby, nikki.

Nikki: I didn’t realize you and victoria were back from the west coast.

Nate: Yes, we just got back and I came straight here.

Abby: Oh, I didn’t realize you were out of town until I texted you the invite.

Nate: It was kind of a last minute trip.

Abby: Where’s elena?

Nate: Um, elena couldn’t make it. Is that harmony?

Nikki: Tucker’s surprise for devon.

Victor: May I have your attention, please? We’re here to celebrate a man who was my friend. Not only on a personal level, but I trusted him implicitly in business. One of the few people I ever trusted, it was neil winters. Now, we can talk about a lot of his accomplishments, but one thing stands out to me as a father who’s concerned about family, is how he dealt with raising devon and lily. Every parent hopes to pass on to his offspring a solid foundation with which the children who go out into the world and deal with all the slings and arrows. Often outrageous fortune. Neil did that. The fact that both devon and lily are here tonight, honoring the memory of the man who raised them, says everything about my friend. And says everything about family because after all has been said and done, it is family that holds us together. So cheers to neil and his memory.

All: To neil.

Summer: I– I– I don’t understand. Did the– did the D.A. Drop the charges?

Kyle: Michael was able to get mom out on bail. Dad and I tried to reach you.

Summer: Did the cops find out any new information?

Kyle: Unfortunately not.

Jack: Summer, I realize this is going to be difficult for you, but diane is innocent. She didn’t kill phyllis and it’s only a matter of time before we find evidence that proves that. Hi.

Devon: Mr. Newman, thank you so much for what you said about our dad.

Lily: Yeah, truly. That was so beautiful.

Victor: My pleasure, I meant every word, you know that.

Lily: I do. Thank you.

Abby: Dad.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Abby: That was a beautiful speech. It brought me to tears.

Victor: It was spoken from the heart. Uh, by the way, I’m very glad that I have you two by yourselves for a moment.

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Victor: Devon, I want to tell you how proud I am that you’re now becoming a part of my family.

Devon: Thank you.

Victor: I know that you make my daughter very happy. That means a hell of a lot to me, okay?

Abby: I am.

Victor: So cheers to both of you.

Abby: Cheers. Everything feels right and it’s all because of this guy.

Nikki: It was very brave of you to come tonight, to this room, the last place you saw your mother.

Daniel: I actually think I’m handling it okay.

Nikki: Well, I see that you are, but still, it must be a terrible struggle for you and summer.

Sharon: A loss that big, it can take a while for life to feel normal again. In some respects, it never goes away.

Nikki: And I know I’ve said this to you before, but I am deeply sorry for what happened. I just want you to know that you have my full support and victor’S.

Sharon: And mine. Whatever you need, daniel. If you want someone to talk to or just listen. I’ll pour your favorite coffee for you, on the house, any time.

Daniel: Thank you. It’s very kind of you both. Um, I need to just excuse myself for a moment.

Nikki: Yeah, yeah.

[ Nikki sighing ]

Devon: Thank you very much.

Nate: Four years. Hard to believe.

Devon: I know exactly what you mean. I am, uh, happy that you showed up though.

Nate: Glad I got the invite.

Devon: Yeah, that’s what neil would’ve wanted. Could, uh, elena not get off work?

Nate: I, uh, came here straight from the airport. Elena had a long, tough day. I’m pretty sure she’s already crashed out at our place. You know, um, I think I’m gonna grab another drink and say hi to lily. I haven’t spoken to her yet.

Devon: Yeah, man. Enjoy the party.

Nate: Thanks.

Sharon: Are you having a good time?

Mariah: I am, a very nice time. Uh, but I was hoping that you could enlighten me.

Sharon: Well, you’ve come to the right place.

Mariah: So, I obviously know about harmony from devon. Um, but this is the first time we’ve met. What I don’t understand is ashley. She seems to be staring daggers at harmony every time she thinks somebody isn’t looking.

Sharon: Uh, good observation skills.

Mariah: It’s a gift.

Sharon: Back when tucker and ashley were married, he and harmony had a moment.

Mariah: Got it, got it. So, harmony is not ashley’s favorite person. Well, that certainly makes things interesting.

Harmony: You know, I can’t thank you enough for contacting me.

Tucker: The smile on devon’s face is all the thanks I need.

Harmony: I am so in awe of that young man, everything he’s accomplished. But even more importantly, who he is. With little to no help from the two of us.

Tucker: Probably just as well.

[ Harmony chuckling ] I’m still not very good at doing the right things for the right reasons, but ashley’s helping me get there.

Harmony: I’m really glad that you two got back together. I hate the mistake we made that hurt her. But hopefully, you have learned your lesson and you don’t screw things up again.

Tucker: You and me both.

Abby: Hi.

Ashley: Hi.

Abby: So, when we spoke earlier, you knew about tucker’s big surprise.

Ashley: I did. He’s making a real effort with his son.

Abby: Well, I have to hand it to the guy. He found a way to make tonight even more special for devon. Although, I’m sure you’re wishing that he found another way to do it.

Ashley: I think it’s time I said hello.

[ Abby sighing ] We’re done.

[ Summer sighing ]

Diane: Summer, I know my being here comes as a shock to you. You, uh, you still believe I’m responsible for phyllis’s death and I– I can understand why you feel that way, but I also promise you it’s not true.

Summer: Because your promises mean so much?

Diane: No, because I would never, ever have taken your mother away from you.

Summer: You are responsible, diane. Since the minute you lured jack to L.A., You set off this whole chain of events that has put us where we are now and after everything you’ve done, after all the lies you told, it’s not fair. It’s not fair that you get to be here with the people that you love and my family has been ripped apart. I– I’m sorry.

[ Summer sighing ] I’m happy for you guys, but I won’t be celebrating this return. I– I– I can’T.

Kyle: Maybe we should go out, take a walk, get some air.

Summer: That sounds like a good idea.

Kyle: Okay.

Diane: Um, hang on, summer. Uh, there’s something I need to explain to you.

Ashley: Hello, harmony.

Harmony: Oh, hi, ashley. So nice to see you.

Ashley: You as well. So nice you could be here for devon.

Harmony: Ah, well, it’s even more meaningful to me since I wasn’t able to attend neil’s original service.

Tucker: Yeah, I wasn’t either.

Harmony: Oh, it’s so strange being back here after all these years have gone by. So much has changed and yet, so much has kind of stayed the same.

[ Harmony chuckling ]

Ashley: Oh, yeah. Such as what?

Harmony: Well, the connection between the two of you for one. I really do wish you all the best. For the two of you to have found your way back to each other after dealing with so much pain and anger, it’s such a gift. It’s something to be cherished and admired.

Ashley: That’s a lovely thing to say.

Nate: The whole event. It’s great. You, abby, devon, you’ve really outdone yourselves. I mean, the music, pictures. What a perfect way to keep neil’s memory alive. Not that anyone needs reminding.

Lily: Yeah. Well, thank you. It, uh, definitely worked out. And thank you for coming on such short notice. Devon and I thought it was important that you were here.

Nate: I wasn’t in L.A. Long, but, uh, I was ready to leave.

Nikki: You must be over the moon having little aria living so close by.

Sharon: I cannot get over those cute baby cheeks and I love having mariah and tessa nearby too.

Mariah: Yeah. Yeah, I know exactly where I fall on the priority list now.

Nikki: Now, now, don’t blame sharon. Grandchildren are life’s greatest blessings.

Victor: You and tessa and aria take full advantage of the grounds.

Mariah: Oh, thank you. Well, you know what? We will– we will keep that in mind.

Victor: Good.

[ Daniel exhaling ]

Summer: I’m not crazy. I know what happened to stark because I heard it from the only other person who was there. The person who stabbed him to death. Mom. She’s alive.

Lily: Hey, you okay?

Daniel: Yeah, you? Party’s great. Everything seems to be going really well.

Lily: Okay. Don’t do that. I can see that you’re upset.

Daniel: I’m not upset. I– I’m just thinking.

Lily: About what?

Daniel: It’s not important. Tonight, I’m here for you, remember?

Victor: We wouldn’t have missed it for anything.

Nikki: And harmony, enjoy the rest of your visit.

Harmony: Oh, I’m sure I will.

Nikki: Oh, I don’t want to intrude on daniel and lily.

Victor: All right.

Devon: For sure.

Victor: Okay.

Lily: I knew you shouldn’t have come here and you definitely shouldn’t have stayed. Not here.

Daniel: I’m fine. I promise.

Lily: Okay, then why are you upset?

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: Look, my conscience is bothering me. I can’t tell you why. I just– I can tell you, I don’t know what to do.

[ Lily sighing ]

Lily: Look, I know what it’s like to grieve and to feel lost, and then you feel this shame because you feel like you’re not living up to your ideals, but what really matters are what decisions you can live with and which ones you can’T.

Ashley: I really feel like it was an honor to be here tonight.

Tucker: Yeah, that makes two of us.

Abby: Well, we’re delighted you could come.

Devon: Absolutely. And I haven’t had a chance to say thank you for what you did, tucker. Because having my mom come, that was very, very special.

Tucker: You’re most welcome. I’m happy to see you two reunited.

[ Daniel inhaling ]

Daniel: Thank you for listening and for the good advice. You always seem to know what you’re talking about.

Lily: Look, I know it’s hard, okay? But you’re gonna get through this.

Daniel: I know, I will, I will. Um, I gotta– I gotta take off, but you’re heading to new york tomorrow to see charlie, right?

Lily: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, I’ll be there for business, but mostly to see charlie.

Daniel: Good. Um, I guess this will be it for a while, huh?

Lily: Well, I’m not gonna be gone that long and I will be thinking of you. And just remember that whatever you decide, it’s gonna be the right thing.

Daniel: How can you be sure?

Lily: Because I know you. Bye.

Diane: Summer, I give you my word that I will do my best not to crowd you. So take all the time and space you need and I will do my best to stay out of your way. Although, I can only do so much with my present circumstances.

Summer: Which are what?

Diane: I– I have to wear this ankle monitor. It’s a– it’s a condition of my bail agreement, so I– I can’t leave the property.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Summer: So, you’re– you’re gonna be here where I live, 24/7. I– I can’t– I can’t avoid you?

Kyle: Hey, I’m sure we can all find a way to coexist. For harrison, if for no other reason.

[ Phone chiming ]

Summer: I have to go.

Kyle: Now? Why?

Summer: I just, I can’t be here right now.

Kyle: What? Summer. Hey, wait, wait. (Vo) no matter what type of severe asthma you have…

Lily: Abby, honestly, I cannot get over how you and your family created this lounge after my dad. I mean, this is amazing.

Abby: Oh, thank you.

Lily: I mean, he loved music so much. He could have had a career just owning a club.

Devon: Oh, yeah. But he still didn’t care about anything as much as you and me.

Lily: No, family always came first.

Malcolm: For my brother, family was everything.

Lily: Oh, my!

Devon: Malcolm, what you doing here, man?

Lily: Hi. I thought you were in the maldives. What’s going on?

Malcolm: Come on, now. Like I would miss all of you in one place, paying tribute to the man himself.

Lily: Yeah.

Malcolm: There he is. Besides, you all know me. When it came to the great neil winters, I show up. Whatever it takes.

Devon: Hey malcolm, you remember my mom, harmony, right?

Harmony: Also known as yolanda, once upon a time.

Malcolm: I do, I do. It’s nice to see you again.

Harmony: You too.

Malcolm: You know that young man right there? He’s a blessing to all his parents. You should be proud.

Devon: Thank you, man.

Nate: You missed it, malcolm. There was a lot of love here earlier.

Lily: Well, there’s even more now.

Malcolm: Oh, look at this space, it’s got neil written all over it. Like he designed it.

Devon: Right. Nah, this was all abby, victor, and nikki’s vision.

Malcolm: Well, you did the damn thing. Well done.

Abby: Thank you. It was my pleasure.

Harmony: Neil manages to inspire people, even after he’s gone.

Lily: So, I guess it means he’s never really gone, right?

Nate: He was so supportive of me being a doctor. I wonder what he’d think now?

Malcolm: Are you following your heart?

Nate: I am.

Malcolm: Well, there it is. Neil would be the last one to tear you down for that.

Abby: Yeah.

Harmony: That was neil, trying to lift people up, right?

Malcolm: Yeah.

Harmony: Reminding people that there’d always be a better tomorrow, no matter how bad today was. He learned from his own mistakes, was able to find forgiveness and hope when you didn’t think it was possible. Devon and I owe so much of who we are now to neil. He raised devon as if he was his own after I failed my son. He never stopped believing in you, devon. Devon?

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: What were you thinking about?

Devon: I– I just made a decision about something that I need to do for myself and for neil.

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: Still nothing from summer. I shouldn’t have let her go.

Jack: Look, she needed some fresh air and some time to think. You handled it very well.

Kyle: You know, maybe– maybe it’s nothing, but she disappeared earlier without telling me where she’s going. Now, she gets a text and she’s off again.

Jack: Do you think somehow they’re linked?

Kyle: I– could be, I don’t know. Where does she go? She keeps running away. I am trying so hard to reconnect with her in the middle of all this chaos, but she just keeps taking off. She pushes me away.

Jack: Sometimes in situations like this, the best you can do is be there to welcome her home with an open heart and open arms.

Kyle: I can’t wait that long. I need to find her.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: Hello? Somebody there?

Summer: Relax, it’s just me.

Daniel: You got here fast.

Summer: Yeah well, I wish you’d picked a different spot.

Daniel: This is your spot.

Summer: I don’t want to keep meeting here. It feels risky.

Daniel: You know what summer? I really don’t care what you do and what you don’t want right now. This is gonna be about what I have to say.

Devon: Yeah, I was just thinking about how almost everything in my life I have today because neil was gracious enough all those years ago to welcome me into your family. And you and I are running a company right now that only exists because he was willing to create it with me. And I’ve never imagined being able to do enough in life to thank him or honor him properly. And I don’t know why it took me this long to think of doing this because it makes so much sense to me, but… I wanna take neil’s last name and legally go by devon winters.

[ Lily exhaling ] Would you be okay with me doing something like that?

Harmony: That’s exactly how it should be.

Devon: Yeah? Malcolm, what do you think?

Malcolm: Hey. You know what he would say, right?

Devon: I think he’d say, “my man.”

Malcolm: My man. Devon, he would love this. Now, you know him. He’d try to keep it all cool on the outside when on the inside, he’d be a mess. You’re doing the right thing. Look at you. My boy is finally part of the family. You’re a winters now and you’re my brother.

Devon: Thank you. Thank you, man.

Malcolm: Yeah.

Devon: Lily, do you approve of me doing this too?

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Of course, I approve. I– I love this. I mean, what a beautiful way to honor dad. And you’re already my brother, in every way. Devon winters. Devon and lily winters.

Devon: Sounds– sounds good.

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: Thank you. I think he’d be all right. I love you.

Harmony: You too. We live our lives on our home’s fabrics.

Jack: Oh, I can’t tell you how good it is to hold you in my arms again. Feel you like this.

Diane: Jack, are you okay? Really? You were always so worried about me, but this constant turmoil, I– I know it’s taking a toll on you.

Jack: I’ll be okay. I keep hoping that once we find out what really happened to phyllis that night, things will start turning around for all of us. And not that summer’s loss is going to be felt any less. It’s just I– I hope with time she can start to heal, that we all can.

[ Diane sighing ]

Daniel: Went to the jazz lounge tonight for a tribute to neil. You know, the same place where our mother died, where we had her memorial. Where everyone had a good cry over it.

Summer: Yeah, okay. What happened?

Daniel: What happened? What happened was every time I turned around, people were offering me their condolences. People were wondering how the two of us were coping. Now, lily, who stood by me through this whole thing, tonight, while she was consoling me, I just sat there with this big fat lie hanging over my head. And you know what? I hated myself for it.

Summer: Daniel, there is no reason for you to feel that way.

Daniel: I can’t keep lying, summer. I can’t keep deceiving people that care about me. I can’t think about diane being tried and convicted for something that she didn’t do. And I’m not gonna do it anymore.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: What does that mean?

Daniel: What do you think it means? We’re gonna go tell everyone the truth, that mom is alive. Then, we’re gonna go find her and we’re gonna bring her home.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Abby: Uh, well, I declare this party officially over.

Lily: Whoo! And cheers to abby for doing such a great job.

Abby: Oh, well, it was so much fun. I had a ball doing it.

Harmony: Yeah. So let’s touch base in the morning, okay?

Devon: That sounds perfect.

Lily: And where are you staying?

Harmony: Right here in the hotel.

Lily: Oh, okay. You too?

Malcolm: No, I actually got to catch a flight up out of here.

Devon: Leave already?

Malcolm: I may have gone awol on my assignment.

Lily: Oh, okay. You left that part out.

Malcolm: Yeah, it’s no big deal. I’ll get back before they ever knew I was gone.

Nate: Well, you gotta come back soon. And stay longer next time.

Malcolm: I will. You good?

Nate: Yeah, yeah, of course. Just, uh, good to see you. Well, uh, I think I’ll, uh, get a room here too. I’m wiped out. Elena has an early shift and I don’t want to disturb her. I’ll walk you to the elevator?

Harmony: Oh, sure. Yes.

Nate: Goodnight, y’all.

Harmony: Good to see you.

Malcolm: Good to see you.

Harmony: Yeah. Oh, and good night, mr. Winters.

Devon: Good night, mom.

Abby: Well, I am gonna wait for you out front, whenever you’re ready.

Devon: Okay. Love you.

Abby: I love you. Good night. Good night. So good to see you.

Malcolm: Great to see you, take care of yourself.

Abby: You too.

Lily: Oh, man, I am so happy, I am. Devon winters. I love this place. And you, you always show up in the nick of time. How do you do that, huh? You’re here. Look at you.

Malcolm: I’m here. I show up for neil. You know why? Because if things were reversed and it all ended a little differently, he’d be showing up for me, I know he would.

Devon: Yeah, you’re right about that.

Malcolm: It looks like tonight was a beautiful evening.

Lily: Yeah.

Malcolm: You did that man proud. Tonight and always.

Devon: I love you, dad.

Lily: We miss you more than you know.

Malcolm: Your star keeps shining, my brother. It keeps shining.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Knocking on door] – You said it was urgent. I cleared my calendar. – Thank you. – So what sort of charges might be pending against you? – Uh, it’s not me. It’s carly. – Ah. – Yeah. I want to know what the sec has against carly. – Yeah. Well, that is privileged information. And as such, I cannot disclose it to a third party. – Diane, since when am I a third party? – Since your divorce. You are no longer entitled to or protected by spousal privilege.

[Dramatic music] – Hey. – Hey. You wanted to see me? – Yeah. I know I’m putting you on the spot. But do you have any information or any details about the sec’s case against me? – Carly, I don’t– – oh, wait. I already know everything about your dad, so there’s no reason to waste your time. – What about my dad? – Look, the feds were prepared to hold me for 24 hours. The only reason I was allowed to go home was because of sonny.

– Sam. – Nina. – Hi. – Did you come to check in with michael? – Yeah, I wanted to see if he or willow needed anything. – That’s very kind of you. – Hey, sam, i was just wondering if I could talk to you for just one second. I– – yeah, sure. What’s up? – I was hoping you could tell me about… my daughter’s wedding.

[Gentle music]

[Machine beeping] – [Sighs] – What are you so happy about? – Well, being married to you has a lot to do with it. – Good answer. – And the fact that drew and liesl are on their way back, and you’re gonna get your bone marrow transplant. You’re gonna live, willow. – Say it again. – You’re gonna live.

[Knocking on door]

[Somber music]

– What’s wrong? – They can’t find spencer.

[Wind blowing] – The wsb doesn’t mess around, huh? It feels like they got this place set up in seconds.

[Sighs] Don’t worry, ace. They’re gonna find your big brother. They have to. Any word on spencer?

[Dramatic music]

This is where you get to say “I told you so.” – What, me? No, no, never. – What you never did was give up hope or stop believing we’d get a miracle. And it worked. Our miracle’s on its way. – Now you’re the miracle, willow. And you fought so hard to hold on. And now we get to spend the rest of our lives together. Actually, a fact that we get to properly celebrate in paris. – Paris? – Yeah. Remember? Before the whole nightmare began, we were planning a trip to paris. – I couldn’t find my passport. That’s what started the search for my birth certificate in the first place. Wow. It feels like a lifetime ago. – So when you’ve recovered from your transplant and you’re up for travel, our first stop will be paris. – How is that french coming along? As I recall, you were working pretty hard on it. – Oui, oui, mademoiselle. – [Laughs] So you’re in the exact same spot? – Pretty much. Yeah. – [Laughs]

[Sighs] You and me in the city of lights. I can just picture it. – Well, even better, we’re gonna live it.

– So I guess we’re done. – You know what, diane? You have been my and carly’s lawyer through two divorces and one remarriage. – And? – Don’t you think it’s a little too late to be a stickler for rules? – Sonny, I was born a stickler. It’s the knowledge of those rules and the adherence to them that gives me the power to maneuver within the legal system. – You can maneuver all you want. I just want to know what carly is up against, and how do we get her out of it. – Can I ask you a question? – Shoot. – Why do you care? – Why do you think my dad is the one who got you released? – Because the sec wants drew’s location. And he’s magically located on a flight manifest from san diego to hawaii? – Yeah. Yeah. He was actually in greenland on that rescue mission. – Yeah. Well, someone sent the feds on a wild goose chase to buy drew more time. We both know it was sonny. – You were the officiant at the wedding. – I was. – So any details you feel comfortable sharing, I would love to hear them. – Well, sonny didn’t tell you about the ceremony? – Oh, yeah. He did. But you know how guys are. I asked him about the flowers and the dress, and he said they were nice.

[Chuckles] – Nice? Well, that’s–

[Laughs] That’s an understatement. – It’s what I was imagining. – You know, willow, she was a vision. – She was? – Yeah. Come here. Her dress was understated, but very elegant. – Yeah, just like her. – Just like her. And the bouquet of flowers was just beautiful. – What about the kids? – Oh, the kids.

[Chuckles] Wiley was the cutest ring bearer you would ever see. – So proud! – So proud. And–and avery and donna, they were the most amazing flower girls. And they had these flower crowns on their head. – Oh, donna loves a good crown. – Yeah. And the vows, they were… heartfelt. – Was it sad? – Sad? No, no. If anything, I would say that it was real. I think it was– it was hopeful. I mean, you’ve never seen two people more in love. And I would– I would think that michael and willow would both say that the wedding was perfect. Until, of course, the sec showed up and ruined it. – So spencer? – [Sighs] Trina called me from a wsb satellite phone. – From greenland? – Mm-hmm. – How was that connection? – About as good as you would imagine. We only talked for a minute, but she said everyone’s safe. But the haunted star exploded and they can’t find spencer. – Was he on board at the time of the explosion? – It’s unclear. They’re still searching for him. I could just hear it in her voice. I mean, she’s so terrified that he’s dead. – When a buddy’s missing, we don’t say out loud if we think they’re gone. It’s like a–a superstition. – Why? Because then it’ll make it true? But what if it is?

[Tense music] – I’m sorry, trina. There’s no sign of spencer. – I’ll be back. – Sit down. Let me tell you everything I know.

– How are you feeling? – I’m feeling better. Thank you. Say what you will about liesl, but she was able to outmaneuver my father and get me the cure. She saved my life. – Thank goodness. That’s–that’s amazing. Um, is there any update on the haunted star? – Wsb is searching the wreckage and all the nearby shoreline. Anna devane is in london meeting with the director, and senior officials, and a number of disgruntled diplomats who want to know of victor cassadine’s affiliation with the bureau. Curtis is being debriefed. And as soon as that’s finished, there’s a plane waiting to take us all home. – What? No! No, I’m not leaving without spencer! He’s still out there. I can feel it! – We’ve recovered a body from the wreckage.

Uh, look. Things have been strained between you and my father since even before your divorce, right? – Things have been strained since sonny came back from nixon falls. – Right. Ok. Let’s not re-litigate who did what to who and why. But bottom line is, you expected him, what, to step back and let you handle your own problems? – Something like that. Look, sonny doing what he did last night, you know, that just kind of showed me that sonny may be different in many respects. But at his core, he’s still the man he’s always been. – I–I heard carly had some trouble after the wedding. – Well, whoever decided to tip off the sec has the most heartless timing. – No, martin. I haven’t changed my mind. Just the opposite. I want you to go all out and expose drew and carly for engaging in insider trading.

Just make sure to keep my name out of it – at least the ceremony was over, and michael and willow were officially husband and wife by the time the feds showed up. – Was willow really upset? – Um, I mean, how could she not be? – Your most recent divorce, while legally straightforward, was… [Chuckles] Acrimonious, to put it mildly. – I’ll give you that. – When carly severed ties, she meant it. She waived her right to millions of dollars in shared assets. All she wanted, all she would accept, was her home and joint custody of donna. – You just answered your own question. – How so? – Carly and I share donna. She is donna’s mother. You think I’m gonna allow donna’s mother to go to prison? – So all this is being done for donna? – Yeah. – Well, then, I got to hand it to you. I’m very impressed, you know, considering the temptation. Because don’t tell me you haven’t thought about it. Come on, sonny. If carly goes to prison, you now have sole custody of donna. Not only that, but you can share her with nina.

[Dramatic music]

[Monitor beeping] – Is there an eta on drew and liesl? – Um, they are still en route, but they will be here at some point today. Actually, in the meantime, though, how about we look at some potential accommodations in paris? So what do you think, how about a five-star hotel, where all of our needs are taken care of? Or we can do the whole authentic parisian route and rent an apartment. Let’s see. – Michael? – Yeah? – Do you still have the footage on there that incriminates your father? – I do. – But have you turned it over to the fbi? – No, not yet. – Good. I want you to delete it.

[Tense music] – [Sighs heavily] Oh, it’s not him. It’s not him. It’s not him. It’s not him.

Ah!

It’s not him. It’s not spencer! He could still be alive!

I love nina. – That much is apparent. – And you know I’m thrilled that the– nina and my girls have a relationship. But for me to be thinking about that we’re gonna raise donna, that’s a nonstarter. – Because carly is not going to prison? – Well, that’s why you’re here, so we can strategize and figure out how we can ensure that. Are you done poking around in my personal life? – [Laughs] Ok. I can talk about carly’s case in the hypothetical. How’s that? – I’ll take it. – Ok. Hypothetically speaking, the sec is putting together a strong case against carly. – How strong? – It is my belief that the sec can prove insider trading. And all of that is to say that if the case goes to trial, carly will lose. – Well, the case can’t go to trial. Can it? – I really hate that my family’s divided. But I won’t pretend to be ok with sonny’s choices. I mean… – I–I–I get that. – Yeah. I mean, specifically the way he sided with nina, going after michael and willow– I know, I know. You don’t want to get into it, right? We don’t want to talk about that. – Look, everything went downhill pretty much from the visitation hearing, right? – Right, and then I didn’t tell willow that nina was her mother. And sonny got all upset about that. – Well, that’s understandable. Regardless of how you feel about nina, sonny cares about her. And if she’s hurting, then he’s gonna be hurting, too. – She’s hurting. Yeah, ok. Well, sonny and i are pretty far apart. But when I realized he was the one that helped me last night… I wasn’t really surprised. – Willow was worried sick about carly, but not only for michael’s sake. But willow and carly forged a relationship. Carly’s become a friend, a mentor. – Carly’s become the mother that willow has never had. – Willow, I went through a lot of trouble. And somebody in particular took a lot of risk to get this footage. – I understand. – I mean, this isn’t doctored. This isn’t a setup. It’s–it’s–you know, it’s proof that my father was involved in an illegal arms deal, a violation of federal laws. Why shouldn’t he be brought to justice? – Because it will hurt a lot of people you love, specifically your little sisters. – Yeah, I– I thought about that. – Have you, really? What will avery and donna do if their father is in prison, especially if carly’s there, too? Avery will have ava, but donna will have no one. – That’s not gonna happen. – You don’t know that. – But I– I will move heaven and earth to ensure that my mom does not go down to insider trading charges. Donna will not be alone, ok? Not for anything. If sonny’s in prison, my sisters are gonna be a lot safer. – You truly think they’re in danger? – Everybody in sonny’s orbit is.

[Sighs] And, yes, I know that my father, he does everything in his power to protect his family. And more often than not, he’s successful. But even if donna and avery are physically safe, eventually, they’re gonna find out that their father– – who they love. – Is breaking the law, and he’s doing things that they have to pretend they don’t– they don’t see or hear. – They’ll become complicit in sonny’s way of life. – Just like it was with morgan and I. And I don’t want that for my sisters. – Ok. Those are all valid points. – Ok. I’m sensing a but here. – But if you turn sonny in, donna and avery don’t only lose their father. They lose you, too.

[Tense music]

– I’ve known spencer for such a long time. And for most of that time, we were fighting.

[Chuckles] – About what? – Everything. He was… an entitled, spoiled kid who liked things his way. – No wonder you clashed. You were two of a kind. Kidding. – Excuse me? – Kidding. I’m kidding. – I will admit, I was indulged as a kid and I liked things my way. And I still do. But at my worst, I was maybe a seven. – Ok. And spencer? – Off the charts. – [Chuckles] But you liked him. – Yeah, I couldn’t help it. When spencer wasn’t spencer, he was… fun. He kept things entertaining. – I could see that. – I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that that funny, infuriating kid I grew up with could be gone.

[Somber music]

– I knew it. I knew it. Ok. I knew spencer was still alive. Can I tell you something about your big brother? He can be a real pain in the a–

[Laughs] Butt. But he’s definitely worth it.

My only wish for this christmas is to wake up and have these last few days just be a bad dream. – The past few years for me. I would change everything, except coming back to port charles, because then I wouldn’t have met you. I’d ask if you’re stalking me, except I’m happy to see you. – Here for me? – Always. And the only thing that I know for sure is that I want you in my life. – I mean, I don’t know who I am anymore! – I know who you are. You’re the sweetest, smartest, and bravest person who I know. Will you promise me that you’ll be careful? – Of course I will. – I can’t stand to lose you, too. – You can’t get rid of me if you try. Definitely.

[Tense music] – [Exhales sharply] I’m standing here, wondering what I’m supposed to say to you. A word of regret? Some wish that things could have been different between us? Nah, I don’t think so. You always told me that you watched over me from afar while I was young. I’m grateful– grateful you stayed away. I was a full-grown man by the time I learned I was your son, and I’m grateful– grateful I wasn’t raised by you. Victor, I’m grateful for the family name, which, as of today, is no longer yours. It’s mine. And I’ll make sure that it’s one that future generations of cassadines can be proud of. But mostly, I’m grateful I never have to think of you again, and that this is the last time I say… goodbye, father.

[Dramatic music]

– Tony and I have always come through for each other. – Even when you can’t stand each other. – It’s comforting to know that that hasn’t changed, that I can count on sonny if I need him. – It still boggles my mind. – Wait a minute. Wait, wait. Which part? – The whole thing! I mean, willow’s devotion to carly, even though carly withheld information that could have spared willow this entire ordeal– I mean, think about it. If carly would have told willow and I the truth, that we were mother and daughter, we could have started testing for donors when she was diagnosed with leukemia. And then my aunt liesl would have been identified as a match months ago. And, willow, she wouldn’t be on death’s door. – Ok. Listen, I understand that– that you see it that way, but willow doesn’T. I mean, in–in willow’s eyes, carly has been nothing but kind, and loving, and supportive. She accepts her just as she is. – And I haven’t? – From willow’s perspective, no. – I made mistakes. I made a lot of mistakes.

But I am still willow’s mother. – Sometimes knowing that, it makes things worse. – If you turn sonny in and he gets arrested, are you planning to hide your involvement? – No, no. I’m not a hypocrite. I’m gonna tell sonny and my family that I was responsible. Yeah. – That’s what I thought, and that’s exactly why you can’t do it. Because when sonny gets sent to prison, your siblings are going to blame you and hate you for it. All right, maybe not dante. He understands the complexity of the situation. But christina? – Yeah. Christina adores our dad. He can do no wrong, as far as she’s concerned. – And then avery and donna, all they’ll understand is that daddy’s gone and it’s your fault. At best, they’ll be conflicted and confused. And at worst, they’ll turn away from you. Michael, that can’t happen. Those little girls need you too much. Your whole family does. – At this point, no charges have been filed. No arrests have been made. Right? – Because the feds want to wait to move forward until they have had a chance to talk to drew. – Right, so there’s still an opportunity to make this go away. I’ll–I’ll–you know, I’ll put out some feelers and I’ll contact some and people and I’ll do whatever I’ve got to do. – You have contacts with the ability to suppress a federal case? – Well, it’s not a case yet. We’re still in the preliminary investigation stage. Right? – Ok. So you think that, you know, with just the right amount of pressure the feds will just say, forget it. We’ll make this go away. – It’s possible. – It’s not possible– – why? – Sonny, because it’s way too late for that! The feds were acting on a tip from a legitimate source. And now they have uncovered evidence to corroborate the allegations. You can’t walk that back. – You do if you discredit the source. – Well, of course, but we don’t know who the source is. – So let’s find out.

Look, whatever strings that sonny had to pull on my behalf, I don’t expect that from you. But if you have any information you can share, that would be great. – Well, I don’t have the sec’s notes or know what evidence they have, so I can’t say anything with certainty. – But if you had to guess? – Well, if I had to guess, they’re moving pretty fast. I’d say maybe they got a case. – Oh, man. All right, well, I guess I need to talk to diane and hope that she can beat this thing. – Well, you know, for the record, I– I hope she can, too. And if there’s anything I can do legally, I’d be happy to help. – Thanks. – When I found out that alexis was my mother, let’s just say it wasn’t welcomed news. – Oh, you and alexis, you didn’t get along? – No. No, not–not at all. In fact, I resented the implication that just because we were related, that I had to instantly love her. – Well, you love each other now. How did you get there? – Mm. Time. Shared experience. A lot of trial and error for alexis and me to form that mother-daughter bond. – Time might not be something that willow and i will ever have. – I bet you carly could help you with that. – We talked about this when I suggested you invite sonny to the wedding. – Yes, I remember. – And do you remember what you said? – Yeah, that donna and avery are more important than anything going on between me and my father. – Has that changed? – No. No, it hasn’t, just the opposite. I mean, can’t you see? I–I’m doing this for them, my sisters, to protect them. – And I can understand the argument that they’re better off without sonny, but you will never convince me that they’re better off without you. They count on you, michael. – Yeah. I–I’m not going anywhere. – Physically, maybe. But in order to lean on you, your sisters need to trust you. They need to know that you would never do anything to hurt them. – I wouldn’T. – And no matter how you look at it, sending their father away will hurt them. Not only that, it will draw a line in the sand that can never be erased by making donna and avery feel that by loving sonny, they’re betraying you. Don’t do that to them. Don’t make them choose between you and their father. – Sonny, you cannot compel the sec to reveal the source of their tip. – So this person screws over carly and drew and just gets off scott-free? – Ok. The bigger problem is the timeline and the corroborating evidence. Carly made a substantial purchase of aurora stock right before the proposed merger with elq. She drove the stock price up. And had the merger gone through, she would have made a fortune. – But it didn’t go through. – Doesn’t matter. Carly was in possession of privileged information, thanks to her personal relationship with drew. And that can be corroborated. And that is the textbook definition of insider trading. – I don’t see how it benefits the sec to take carly down. She lost a lot of money with the deal, and she’s not like a hedge fund manager or a corporate ceo. But drew is. – Thank you for listening. I know you don’t exactly have fond memories of spencer. – [Chuckles] We couldn’t stand each other. But I understand there’s a side of him that I didn’t get to see. – God, are we really talking about him in past tense? – Tell me about when he came back. – To port charles? – Yeah. – Oh, he was a real peach.

[Chuckles] No. He was… cynical and bitter, almost willfully shallow. He had put up this wall around him. Trina was able to break through it. – Brave girl. – Right? Trina saw another version of spencer. She gave him chance after chance. She believed in him, so much so that she followed him onto the haunted star. And now we’re here. She’s gonna be so devastated if he’s really gone. And I just can’t help thinking, why do I get to be the lucky one? – It’s time to go. – Where? – Mr. Ashford has been debriefed and is waiting on the plane. – We’ve been cleared to leave for port charles. – We can’t just take off without spencer! – [Sighs] Ms. Robinson, the odds that your friend– – we searched the wreckage. – Then search it again. – There are no survivors. There are just bodies waiting– – no. – To be identified. – No, you’re wrong. You’re wrong! Spencer’s alive. They have to keep looking for him! – Of course, the bureau will keep looking. – Good. Then we’ll wait. – Trina, you need to take ace back to his mother. Your loved ones are waiting for you as well. – I can’t leave. I can’t leave him. He made it. I would feel it if he didn’T. Spencer’s alive. – There’s nothing more to do here. It’s time to go home.

[Somber music]

Carly would never help me. – But have you ever asked? I mean, instead of constantly being on the defensive and going tit for tat over who’s more wrong, have you ever thought about just, like, stepping back and saying, “I’m sorry. I need your help”? I don’t know. It’s just my opinion, but good luck.

[Somber music]

– Are those sec guys still there? No, huh? Any idea where they went? All right. Thanks. Yeah. – Hello. – Hello. Mm. – Who were you talking to? – The other woman. – Oh. What? Aka, the station? – Yeah, I’m helping carly out with something. – That’s nice of you. – Yeah, it is nice. Well, I’m a nice guy. You know, I mean, her and my dad may be at odds. But family’s family, you know? – I love that. – I love you.

[Gentle music]

– You also need to consider your own children. Don’t you want wiley and amelia to grow up with donna and avery? – Of course I do. – Then don’t create a rift between them. I’m not asking you to forgive sonny or even make peace, but I grew up without a family, which makes me recognize how precious ours is. And I realize that might make me sound hypocritical, given my stance on nina– – no, the situations are completely different. – Nina and I have never had a relationship. Not a good one, anyway. Us being estranged doesn’t affect anyone. There’s no collateral damage. But with you and sonny, it affects everyone you love. And I truly believe that keeping our family whole is more important than bringing sonny to justice.

[Knocking on door] – I have good news. Drew cain and dr. Obrecht just landed and are on their way to gh. – Really? – Time to get you prepped for the first step of the transplant. – It’s time to save your life. – The feds are after drew. Carly’s the leverage. – Well, that would explain why they were so willing to release her last night, once they got a location on drew, who, let us not forget, is the ceo and major shareholder of aurora. You know, he’s the one who broke confidentiality. He’s the one who violated the sec rules when he told carly about the merger in the first place. – You think–you think they’re going to offer carly a– a deal to give up drew? – If they do, do you think she’ll take it? – One step at a time. First things first. Let’s wait to see if that deal is on the table. – Once again, sonny, I am representing carly, not you. – [Scoffs] Anything I do is in carly’s best interest. – I have to wonder. If the situation were reversed and you were the one facing federal charges, do you think carly would be doing all this for you? – No doubt. – Trina and I both took chances this year. Big ones. Trina fell for spencer. – And? – Oh, you’re gonna make me say it? – Oh, yes, ma’am. – Then I fell for you. – I think that makes me the lucky one. – I think that makes us both lucky. And once michael turns in the evidence that you got him against sonny, then he’ll be arrested. – We both know that’s not gonna happen overnight. And I doubt michael is thinking about anything except willow undergoing her transplant. – Well, I will wait as long as it takes. Because at the end of it, you’ll be free. And then we can finally figure out what we mean to each other out in the real world. – Oh, out in the wild? – Yeah. – [Laughs] – A chance that trina and spencer never will.

[Somber music]

– Huh? Spencer? Spencer! Spencer! – Oh! Oh.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Steffy: Hope, I know what I saw. You, caressing thomas’ hands, staring into his eyes, saying all the things that you were saying. You have feelings for him. Hope, tell me the truth. Now.

Thomas: There’s no way.

Ridge: No way what, thomas?

Waitress: Your brother said to give this to you.

[ Scoffs ]

Liam: Of course he did. Thank you.

Taylor: I called your office, and they said you would be here. May I join you?

Liam: I… hi. Yes. Yes. Uh, please, please sit. Hi. What’s up, taylor?

Taylor: I just wanted to speak to you. About… your wife and my son.

[ Liam chuckles ]

Liam: Uh, I feel like you might want to talk to me about hope and thomas working together.

Taylor: Oh, you are correct.

Liam: Ah.

Taylor: You’ve had a lot of strong objections.

Liam: I… I have. Yeah. But you already know what they are. I mean, I’m just– I’m concerned that thomas is gonna do what he’s already done–

Taylor: He won’T.

Liam: Okay. Listen–

Taylor: Thomas is not gonna cross any lines. And… I’m not just saying that because he’s my son. I’m saying that because I know he won’T. He’s not gonna throw away all the work he’s done and risk his career and family… for something that can never be.

Ridge: Something wrong?

Thomas: No, it’s just, um…

Ridge: Just talking to yourself.

Thomas: I was thinking out loud.

Ridge: Thinking out loud about what?

Thomas: This, uh, the sketch is just, like… there’s something off about it.

Ridge: Mm. That’s what it’s about?

Thomas: Yeah, I appreciate your concern. But, um…

Ridge: But what?

Thomas: You know what? Um… maybe it would be good to talk about it. And I don’t want to fall back into old patterns.

[ Clearing throat ] It’s– it’s about hope.

Steffy: My brother is doing everything he possibly can to redeem himself. Not only here at work, but with douglas. And the rest of the family.

Hope: No, I know. I– I know.

Steffy: Do you know that? Because what I just saw, was you flirting with thomas. And I know that sounds so crazy because thomas is the one we’re supposed to be worried about. Not you. Not sweet hope. Hope who never misbehaves. But you are now. Because I saw you flirting with my brother. When it comes to your hair, ingredients matter.

Liam: You’ve always had a lot of faith in thomas, haven’t you?

Taylor: Are you– are you saying I shouldn’t have?

Liam: No, I’m not saying that. I’M… what am I saying? I guess I just– I think he’s lucky to have a parent who believes in him as much as you do.

Taylor: I’m lucky to have thomas as a son. And yes, I do believe in him. But if he was playing as I–

Liam: Which, he’s done before.

Taylor: Yeah, he has. Boy, he was good at it, wasn’t he? And as good as he was at it, I am now better at spotting his tells. And he is– he is still making progress with them.

Liam: I mean, yeah, that’s good. That– that is good. That’s a good thing. But can we– elephant in the room? Taylor, you’re a psychiatrist. But in this context you’re not just a psychiatrist. You’re also thomas’ mother. So, how–

Taylor: How could i be unbiased?

Liam: Yes.

Taylor: That is– that is a fair question. You know, um, I wouldn’t be fighting so hard for thomas if I wasn’t absolutely certain he’d changed. You know, I– I have a lot more invested in thomas getting better than you do. He’s my son.

[ Stammering ] I just want the best for him. So– so being biased in this situation, it would be the worst possible thing for him. And for hope.

Ridge: So this is about hope. What about her?

Thomas: It’s about hope. It’s about, uh, hope for the future. And… have you seen the preorder numbers?

Ridge: I have not.

Thomas: Okay. Well. They came in.

Ridge: Okay.

Thomas: And… let me see. Here you go. They exceeded our expectations.

Ridge: Well, this is amazing. You should be really happy.

Thomas: Well, hope is ecstatic.

Ridge: And she should be happy too, because her line’s been struggling a little bit.

Thomas: Uh, well, you know, a lot has changed since then.

Ridge: Really? The only thing that’s changed is she has a new lead designer.

Thomas: Yeah. And I– I’m really lucky to be here.

Ridge: Luck has nothing to do with it. You did the work. You worked on yourself. You worked on your craft, and… here we are. Son, I am so proud of you.

Thomas: You should be proud of hope too.

Ridge: Okay. I’m so proud of her too. She did what she did to save her line. She did everything she had to.

Thomas: It’s– it’s not just that, though. It’s not just her doing what she had to. Like, she, she… after everything I did, she… was able to forgive me and that’S…

Ridge: That’s what she does. She gives second chances. It’s nice.

Thomas: It’s not just what someone does. This is… after everything I did, that’s a new level of forgiveness. And I, I don’t know. Look, I… me being back, it can affect her marriage with liam.

Ridge: I think they’re fine.

Thomas: Maybe they are, but liam doesn’t trust me. He doesn’t have any reason–

Ridge: What are you doing right now? What is this? You should be over the moon. You just showed me these numbers. You should be doing backflips. Instead, you’re standing here doing… this. What’s going on?

[ Thomas grunts ]

Hope: Misbehaving? Steffy, this– this is an overreaction. You are reading too much into what you saw.

Steffy: Am I? I want to believe that’s the case.

Hope: It is.

Steffy: I hope to god it is. I hope you’re being honest with me and yourself. Thomas has been acting like a gentleman. He has been behaving himself. He has not crossed any lines with you. He is making strides in his life.

Hope: I know that. I have seen the work that he has done. I believe that he is a changed man.

Steffy: Yeah, he’s been fighting those demons and he’s winning. Why can’t you be sensitive to that?

Hope: I am. I am proud of him, steffy.

Steffy: Really? Because what I just walked in on, what I just saw, was you laying it on thick. You flirting with my brother. Saying all the things that you were saying, looking into his eyes, and caressing his hands. You were flirting with him. Wow, I can’t even believe I am saying this. Are you actually turning into your mother? My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Thomas: Has anyone ever told you you worry too much?

Ridge: All the time. I’m not worried about you. Not anymore.

Thomas: Really? You mean that?

Ridge: Oh, I mean that. It’s who you are. You, you did it. You fixed whatever the problem was. And you’re back. You’re a great father to your son. Your skills are improving all the time. And I don’t know that I’ve said it, and I’m gonna say it again. I’m gonna keep repeating it. I am so proud of you.

Thomas: You know I’m actually kind of proud of me too.

Ridge: Good! You should be! Because you earned this.

[ Sighs ] All right. If you ever need anybody, I hope you know this. If you ever need to talk to someone about anything, I’m here. I’ll listen. And I will give advice. If you ask for it.

Thomas: I, I appreciate that. I, um, I’ll keep that in mind.

Ridge: So where is hope? I want to congratulate her too.

Thomas: She’s over in the design office.

Ridge: She has to be so impressed with you.

Thomas: Yeah. You know, dad, um… I– I’m glad that hope has brought herself to forgiving me and, and the rest of the family is moving in that direction, but… it means the world to me that you are willing to give me another chance, and– and forgive me. And… I promise, I know that I’ve– I’ve done some dark things in the past, but, um… I am never gonna become that person again. You have my word.

Liam: I do actually appreciate your concern for hope. I do.

Taylor: Well, I appreciate hope’s capacity for forgiveness. She didn’t have to allow thomas to come back to be her lead designer, but she did.

Liam: Yeah. But she also didn’t forget about all the things that he’s done in the past, like none of us have.

Taylor: No, but… she was willing to trust that thomas wouldn’t revert to his old ways. And he hasn’T.

Liam: Yet. That we know of. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t or couldn’T. And if that does happen–

Taylor: If that happens, hope is gonna put a stop to it, and thomas will be gone. And thomas knows that. He could lose everything, and– and everyone that he loves. His career, everything. He’s not gonna allow that.

Liam: What if it’s not up to him, taylor? What if– what if the impulse is just too strong? What if he literally cannot help himself?

Taylor: What if he can? Therapy is giving him incredible coping skills. He is– he is healing through the very things that cause the triggers. And now he’s able to spot them as soon as they come up. Come on, liam. That is huge. Can you not see that?

Liam: Here’s what I see. I see, and I mean this, that the people who love him, are invested in his growth. And that’s a good thing. It means you and ridge and steffy all have confidence in him. And that’s your job. But my job is to stay on guard.

Taylor: Okay. But remember, hope is smart. Give her some credit. And try to– just try to believe that I– I would never want hope and thomas working so closely together if I wasn’t absolutely certain that thomas… wasn’t that old thomas.

[ Liam chuckles ]

Liam: You sound like steffy, actually. She said the same thing to me. She’s been trying to drill into my head that… that I have nothing to worry about when it comes to her brother and hope.

[ Sardonic chuckle ]

Steffy: You’re really turning into your mom.

Hope: What? No. No, steffy. And I think you’re making way too much of this.

Steffy: I know what I saw.

Hope: We were excited about the numbers. We were celebrating. And we did get caught up in the moment, steffy. But I love liam. My family and my marriage mean everything to me. Please do not interfere with that.

Steffy: I’m not. But if you’re developing feelings for my brother, I’m gonna have an issue with this.

Hope: Steffy, can you please just try to listen to me and see it from my point of view? Thomas and i have been working really hard on this line together. We have been spending a lot of hours together. We also share a son together. But that is it. That is where it stops. Liam is my husband. And I love him and I am committed to him. (Buzz) morning!

Liam: Well, steffy is right. But then again, steffy is always right. And don’t you forget it.

[ Liam chuckles ] Come on, if you could just..

Liam: Have the kind of faith in your son that you do?

Taylor: Well, I– I would never expect you to do that. No.

[ Chuckles ] I’m just asking for… just a modicum of faith. You know? Thomas can’t– can’t change what he did. But he can change the way that he does things from now on, and that’s exactly what he’s doing. The efforts he’s making are real. And hope sees that every day, we all do. Present company excluded. So what do you say? Think you can give him just a little benefit of the doubt?

[ Liam groaning ]

Liam: I want to believe you, taylor, for all our sakes. Especially hope’S. She’S… she’s a good person, you know? She’s– she’s kind, and compassionate and sincere.

Taylor: And smart.

Liam: And smart. Yes.

Taylor: Yes. And she forgave thomas. But she also put very firm boundaries in place. You have nothing to worry about, liam.

Hope: Working with you this time around, it’s been amazing. I mean, it’s like we are in sync on everything. It’s been magical. And now, I mean, there’s no limit to where we can take hope for the future.

Steffy: I want to believe you, hope. I never questioned your love for liam.

Hope: Then don’t start now.

Steffy: I have spoken to him. You asked me to do that, remember? He loves you so much.

Hope: Steffy, I know that.

Steffy: He’s been concerned about you and thomas. He trusts you. He just doesn’t trust thomas. But I think you’re the one he needs to be concerned about.

Hope: No, steffy. I am completely devoted to liam.

Steffy: And he is completely devoted to you. Do you realize how lucky you are? Liam is completely supportive and understanding. But if he were to walk in on what I just did, he would have freaked out.

Hope: Steffy, please… please don’t say a word to liam.

[ Steffy scoffs ] He’s already sensitive enough about thomas and me working together, and I swear to you, there is nothing going on between the two of us.

Steffy: Do you miss it?

Hope: Miss what?

Steffy: His affection for you.

Hope: How could you even ask such a thing? No. No, steffy. I love my husband. I love my family. They mean everything to me. So, please… don’t overreact to a situation that you are misunderstanding. Please do not tell anyone about this. I swear to you. There is– there’s nothing going on.

Steffy: Okay. So you’re telling me the truth. You have no feelings for thomas. None at all.

Hope: No.

Steffy: Good. Because you can’t be leading him on. Reigniting his obsession with you. I’m serious, hope. Do not lead thomas on. Or undermine the progrs my brother has made. I’ll be watching you.

Ashley: I’m just gonna be very honest with you. All right? He was serious about leaving town and I knew that he wanted to be close to Devon and Dominic and frankly, Abby, I wasn’t ready to see him go.

Abby: Oh, my god.

Ashley: So, I came up with this idea that maybe we could work it out.

Abby: So, it was you. You were the one who convinced tucker to stay.

Ashley: I’ve got my eyes wide open.

Abby: I have to tell you, mom, I think this is ridiculous and
honestly, a little pathetic.

Ashley: Abby, I’m still your mother. Watch your mouth.
[Abby sighing] Look, I see a good man who’s trying to do the right thing, but he– he always does the wrong thing.

Abby: And you can’t change him.

Ashley: I’m just giving him a little room to give it a shot.

Abby: To give it a shot.

Ashley: That’s it. All right. Now, are you angry because Devon invited tucker to Neil’s tribute tonight?

Abby: I think that’s a little bit different, don’t you? I mean, that’s a father and son thing, asking him to come to an event for one night, but you, you are asking him to move into our family’s home. Are you serious? Oh, my gosh

Mariah: Tessa sends her love, by the way. She’s at home with the baby. Probably giving her a bottle as we speak.

Devon: Aw. I’m sure when she’s a little closer to dom’s age, her schedule will mirror yours a little better.

Mariah: A little? Oh, my goodness, you’re scaring me.

Devon: Maybe, not at all. I don’t know. All babies are, you know.

Mariah: They’re different. Yes, we keep hearing that. Every day is a new experience. It’s a good thing that we like surprises.

Devon: Isn’t it crazy to think about our kids growing up together?

Mariah: They’re gonna be best friends. Forever. Just like us.

Devon: That’s right.

Brooke: [ Sighs ] I– i haven’t been able to wipe this smile off my face since R.J. Came home.

Ridge: I know the feeling.

Brooke: I don’t think I let myself really feel how much I missed him.

Ridge: I get that, ’cause it, uh, it hurts too much, doesn’t it? But you gotta let ’em go. Let them be who they are.

Brooke: As opposed to who you want them to be, right? I can’t believe you’re actually saying that.

Ridge: I can’t believe you’re saying that. All I did was nudge him in what I think is the right direction. I got him to put pencil to paper, and he’s, uh– he’s talented.

Brooke: Show me. Oh! Uh-huh. That’s, uh– wow!

[ Chuckles ]

Ridge: What, you don’t think it looks like me?

Brooke: Uh, let’s see. Yeah. Yeah. Actually, it does, it looks just like you. That’s, uh– that’s what’s so funny.

[ Chuckles]

[ Sighs ] Mm.

Liam: So, I don’t know. I mean, assuming dad signs off on it, I think we could– we could finalize the deal in a matter of days.

Wyatt: Really? Yes! See? This is what I’m talking about. See how productive we can be when you actually show up to meetings?

Liam: Oh, my god. You’re just– you’re– you’re gonna hold that over my head forever. You’re just– okay, fine.

Wyatt: Pretty much, yeah.

Liam: I’m ready for it. No, it’s great. It’s great.

Wyatt: Hey, I do have a question for you, though.

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: What is happening with the thomas and hope situation? Any updates?

Thomas: Okay, so what do you think? Should we take the hemline up a little bit or do you wanna leave it where it is?

Hope: You know what? I think in order to show off the shoes, we should bring up the hemline in the front just a little.

Thomas: Of course, that was, um… that was my instinct as well.

[ Chuckling ]

Hope: Of course it was.

[ Chuckles ]

Petra: There’s no doubt, you two make magic together.

Steffy: I agree. Hope and thomas are great business partners.

Wyatt: Look, obviously, I know you’ve been struggling with the idea of hope working so closely with thomas.

Liam: Oh, I’m struggling? Have I been struggling? Like I’ve been struggling in school or like I struggle for the driver’s test–

Wyatt: I know.

Liam: That’s very diplomatic of you. I appreciate that.

Wyatt: I’m just wondering, is anything concerning happened?

Liam: Uh, concerning? Did–

Wyatt: Yes.

Liam: Not technically, but that doesn’t mean there’s not gonna be something. I mean, this is how thomas works, right? It’s like nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. And then, oh my god, he was obsessed with hope the whole time, right? I just don’t– I don’t want her and douglas dealing with that again.

Wyatt: I feel for you, man. I’m– I’m sorry.

Liam: Well, don’t, because that’s who hope is and she’s very trusting and that’s one of the things I admire about her, and paradoxically, it also creates a huge blind spot, which is why I’m keeping my eyes peeled in her stead. Uh, make sure nobody takes advantage of it, including and especially “tom*S.”

Brooke: I– I must say, R.J. Really has talent. I mean, this is incredible. Look at how he’s captured your– your mannerisms. Your essence. Look at the hair! Oh, my gosh– no, no.

[ Laughing ] The hands. The hands!

[ Overlapping chatter ]

Taylor: Okay, okay, what is so funny?

Brooke: Oh, my gosh. Okay. I guess you better be careful what you wish for. Because ridge took a pencil and put it in R.J.’S hand, was hoping that he would deliver a brilliant design, and voila.

[ Laughing]

Taylor: Oh, it is– it is the spitting image.

Ridge: What are you laughing at? Why are you piling on? What– what’s happening?

Taylor: Because it’s so easy.

Brooke: Yes, it is.

Ridge: Okay well, I don’t even know why you’re here. Looking for thomas? He’s in a meeting with hope and steffy.

Taylor: I am actually looking for thomas, but okay, fine. I– I– I love that everyone is getting along. I– I love it. The three of us, our daughters. You know what? We’re finally acting like the extended family we should have been all along.

Brooke: Mm.

Taylor: Right?

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: I don’t know. I still think maybe we should raise the waistline a little bit, you know, and make it more marketable to a broader audience?

Thomas: Yeah. Create a better silhouette. Okay. Yeah, great. Petra, thank you so much. You have been wonderful as usual.

Petra: You should see me after work. Really, though. Any time.

Thomas: I’ll remember that.

[ Hope clearing throat ]

Steffy: Well, congratulations, both of you. Looks like hope for the future is back on track. Hopefully that will be reflected when the preorders are released today.

Hope: [ Sighs ] Yeah, I’m kinda nervous about that.

Thomas: Not me. We’re gonna kill it.

Hope: Well, of course you aren’t, you weren’t here when hope for the future was in a downward spiral. And believe me when I tell you, it was not fun. But luckily you’re back now. You’ve given new life to the line and I couldn’t be more grateful. (Buzz) morning!

Wyatt: I mean, I gotta hand it to him. Deacon has done a great job with this place. I mean, this pizza is phenomenal.

Liam: Totally. And vegetarian.

Wyatt: Yeah.

Liam: It’s still good. Right?

Wyatt: All right, it’s okay.

Liam: Mm-hmm.

Wyatt: I think deacon’s surprising a lot of people lately.

Liam: Yeah. But not hope. Because she always believed in her dad and she’s all too happy to rub in our faces that she was right about him.

Wyatt: Yeah. Well, let’s just hope that she’s right about thomas and that he’s got a handle on things. You know what I mean? But I do think it’s a good idea to keep a watchful eye on him.

Liam: I went and talked to him.

Wyatt: What?

Liam: Yeah.

Wyatt: What did he say?

Liam: Uh, what did he say? What do you think he said? He– he admitted that he’s made mistakes in the past but he’s not that guy anymore. He’s been working on himself. He’s a changed man. He’s definitely, definitely, definitely not obsessed with hope. And I don’t have to worry. You know, it’s all that.

Wyatt: So, you believe him.

[ Liam snorts, giggles ]

Taylor: You know, this is kind of like a– a dawn of a new era. Both our families standing together, supporting each other.

Brooke: Well, what makes me happy is that our daughters followed in our footsteps and ended their rivalry. Maybe they’ll become best friends, like we are.

Taylor: Wouldn’t that be something?

Brooke: It would.

[ Chuckling]

Ridge: I guess that makes you guys trailblazers, right? Because our families are finally together and not fighting anymore.

Taylor: And you know what? I– I know that you don’t fully believe in thomas yet, but I think in time you will. He really is in a good place.

Brooke: I hope he is. For your sakes, as his parents, and for– for hope, too. She has invested a lot in thomas.

Thomas: Hope, I– I can’t tell you how much your faith and your belief in me has meant. It’s incredible. After everything that I did. I hurt you and your mom and I even brought our son into it, and it– it pains me that I did that, but I did and… you somehow were able to see past that and see a future that didn’t involve thomas becoming that person, but being a much better person, and you granted me this opportunity to come back and help design for this line, which I love so much and I know means so much to you. And I just– thank you for that.

Hope: Thomas, you have to stop thanking me. I mean, you’re doing it basically every time you put a pen to a piece of paper and create a new design. But that, that’s you. That’s all you. I mean, thomas, this collection wouldn’t be the same without you, and we know that’s the truth. Uh, look, I think those preorder numbers are in right now, so I’m gonna go check on them.

Thomas: Okay, hold on. Hold on.

[ Chuckles ] You don’t need to cross your fingers. It’s all gonna work out, I promise.

Hope: Okay.

Thomas: What?

Steffy: You are just doing an amazing job, you really are. And I can see that you are turning your life around. Um…

Thomas: It seems like there’s a “but” coming.

Steffy: I just watch you and hope working together. I see how devoted you are to the success of hope for the future, and I know you’ve been focused on it for months, working with hope to save the line.

Thomas: That’s the goal.

Steffy: Yeah, but what about the personal side? I love you, thomas. So, I have to ask. Are you still fixated on hope?

[Bones cracking]

Liam: Listen, the fact of the matter is thomas has shown us all, more than once, how unstable he is. And I just– I don’t– I don’t know, I don’t want hope getting caught up in all the crazy.

Wyatt: But she’s still, like, on the lookout, right? Even though she’s given him the benefit of the doubt.

Liam: Yes. And I– I’m just– I’m just trying to practice letting that be enough. You know, let– letting her exercise her own judgment. It’s just difficult because I– I know how manipulative thomas can be, you know?

Wyatt: Not to mention the blind spot that you were talking about earlier.

Liam: There you go.

Wyatt: Look, man. I get it, all right? Hope’s your wife and your first instinct is to just protect her. Right? But I just want you to be careful. I don’t want you to talk too much about thomas when you’re spending time with hope.

Liam: I will say this. Hope has been working pretty hard to make sure that doesn’t happen. Like, as– as many hours as she’s been putting in–

Wyatt: Yeah?

Liam: She’s consciously carved out time for just the two of us. Her and me, husband and wife.

Wyatt: That’s– that’s great. Love it.

Liam: It’s– it’s been really nice. I– truth is, I don’t know what I did to deserve a woman like hope.

Taylor: Well, it means a lot that you’re willing to see thomas differently. You know, he just– he just wants to make everything right.

Ridge: And I think he is, right? He’s making some really good choices. Personally and professionally. I mean, his– his designs are great. Just full of positivity, right?

Taylor: Yes. Yes. It makes me feel so proud. It makes us proud as parents. And I think in time, thomas is gonna earn your trust, too, just like he did hope’S.

Brooke: That would make me very happy. And so far so good. He seems to be making changes. Let’s just hope it sticks.

Taylor: Oh. I think it will, I really do. He’s doing the work. He healed his relationship with you. He healed his relationship with steffy. That’s a lot. And now steffy and thomas are– are back to annoying each other on a daily basis as it should be.

[ Both chuckling ]

Steffy: Look, I’m not accusing you of anything.

Thomas: I get it. I appreciate your concern.

Steffy: Really?

Thomas: Really. Look, I– I’ve been going to therapy. I’ve been working on myself and digging through the– the darkness in my past, which led to my behavior. And I’m keeping my priorities straight this time. ‘Kay?

Steffy: Yeah. It certainly seems that way.

Thomas: It is. I mean, every morning I wake up, I have all these designs that just are flooding my brain and I have to get them out onto paper. You know, that’s my focus. And then also, you know, being a great dad to douglas is the most important thing in the world and being a good son to mom and dad, and being a great brother to you. Look, I’m– I’m not thinking about hope, and honestly, if she even threw herself at me, I would say no. Not that she would ever do that.

Steffy: No, that wouldn’t happen.

Thomas: No. [ Chuckles ] That’s what I said. It’s just– just a joke.

Steffy: Too soon, bro. Too soon.

Thomas: Okay, fine, fine. It was too soon. I’m sorry. But look, I promise I have all of my priorities straight and I’m in control of my life. You got no reason to worry.

Steffy: Okay.

Thomas: [ Chuckles ] Okay, come on.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Sighs ] Thank god. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Thomas: Get the preorder numbers yet?

Hope: Yep.

Thomas: No, hope, no, no, it can’t be. Are– okay. All right. You know what? Um, I take full responsibility for everything. All right? We’ll– we’ll start over from the ground up, brand new designs.

Hope: Thomas, the numbers weren’t good.

Thomas: I’m getting that.

Hope: They were great.

Thomas: Are you– you joking?

Hope: Off the charts!

Thomas: Why would you– why would–

Hope: Exceeded our expectations! I don’t know, I couldn’t resist. I couldn’t resist.

Thomas: I’m so happy for you.

Hope: No, you should be happy for yourself. I mean, thomas, this comeback wouldn’t have happened without you.

Thomas: No, no, no, it was a team effort.

Hope: Well, yes, but you led that team, thomas. I mean, eric, zende, ridge, those– those are amazing designers, but it never was successful because no one has understood me the way that you do. I mean, working with you this time around, it’s been– it’s been amazing. I mean, it’s like we are in sync on everything. It’s been magical. And now, I mean, there’s no limit to where we can take hope for the future.

Thomas: You’re my inspiration. You know, it’s like it’s– it’s going from your head through these hands, out into the world.

Hope: Well, thank goodness for these hands, then.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Heartbeat thudding ] And thank goodness for you. Thank you for seeing me.

[ Thudding continues ]

[ Thudding fades ]

Thomas: Yeah, I’m so excited. This– this is just the beginning for hope for the future. Yeah, I’m excited for the journey ahead.

Hope: Me, too.

Thomas: Okay, I gotta head across the hall and grab something. Congratulations.

Hope: Back at you.

[ Chuckling ]

Hope: It’s been amazing.

I mean, it’s like we are

in sync on everything.

It’s been magical and now,

I mean,

there’s no limit to where we

can take hope for the future.

[ Door closes ]

Hope: Steffy. Hey, I didn’t realize you were still here.

Steffy: It looks like you were, uh, lost in thought.

Hope: Well, the preorder numbers are in.

Steffy: Yeah, I heard. I saw.

Hope: Saw?

Steffy: Look, my parents and I, we’ve been, uh, very proud of thomas. Obviously, his obsession with you led him to very dark places. But he rose above it. And we thought we could trust you and thomas to be able to work together without it having a bad effect on him.

Hope: And you’ve been right.

Steffy: Absolutely right about thomas. He’s changed. I see that. He realizes what he’s done with you was inappropriate and I know he won’t do that again. What I didn’t know, which I– I never would’ve thought, is that it would… it would be you.

Hope: Me?

Steffy: Yeah. Flirting with thomas.

Hope: What?

Steffy: I saw you, hope. You were looking right in thomas’s eyes, laying it on pretty thick.

Hope: All right, it’s not what you think–

Steffy: I know what I saw. I will not let you derail thomas.

Hope: Steffy, I would never try to–

Steffy: I can’t even believe we’re actually having this conversation. Things were going so well for all of us. Our moms are actually getting along. Thomas finally sees his full potential as a designer and a father. I will not allow you or anyone else to set him back. Do you hear me? So, I’m gonna ask you and ask you once. Do you have feelings for thomas? Hope, I want the truth. Do you have feelings for my brother?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Lily clears her throat ]

Neil: Ever since your mother got a promotion and I went back to work, it’s tough to catch up with you. I don’t get to spend as much time as I’d like to with you.

Lily: Well, it’s okay. It seems like I haven’t had much time for myself these days too, so. School is so much harder this year.

Neil: Yeah, we all get caught up with our busy routines sometimes, don’t we?

Lily: Yeah.

Neil: Hey, you know, I was thinking–

Lily: Uh, oh. Well, I know how dangerous that can be.

Neil: Very funny, young lady.

Lily: Yeah.

Neil: What are your plans for the rest of the day?

Lily: Um, usual stuff. Nothing special.

Neil: Yeah. Nothing special. I like that, because I cleared all the work off my desk, I was hoping that we could spend the rest of the day together.

Lily: Just you and me?

Neil: Of course, you and me, bozo. What are you talking about? I figured we could go to the genoa city athletic club, get a quick workout in. And then, maybe grab a bite, a movie. How about it?

Lily: All right, let’s do it.

Neil: Okay. Come on.

Lily: Hey.

Daniel: Hey.

Lily: What are you doing here?

Daniel: I’m coming to the event tonight. Celebration of your dad’s life.

Lily: No, daniel. You– you shouldn’t be here.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi. Mission accomplished.

Devon: Yeah, everything set?

Abby: Yes, I told the lounge exactly how he wanted everything.

Devon: Oh, perfect.

Abby: It’s gonna be a phenomenal party.

Devon: Oh, I know it’s gonna be phenomenal because all of your parties are phenomenal.

Abby: Well, this is in neil’s honor, so it has to be extra special. You sure you’re ready for all of this? I mean, I know it’s a celebration, but it’s still the anniversary of neal’s passing. So, there’s bound to be some difficult moments.

Devon: Yeah, I know that. It comes with the territory, but I’m more than ready for it. I am. I’m very happy with everything we’ve put together. I think it’s perfect exactly the way it is.

Abby: Did someone suggest otherwise?

Devon: No. But, uh, tucker came by earlier with a big idea for a tribute that he wanted to pay for and produce and announce tonight.

Abby: What kind of tribute?

Devon: It was an international jazz festival with neil’s name attached to it.

Abby: Wow.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Okay. Yeah, that’s a major overstep.

Devon: Well, it’s just his way of trying to make amends with me, which I appreciate. It’s just awkward timing.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I know.

Abby: I agree.

Devon: I did invite him to the party though.

Abby: That’s a surprise.

Devon: Yeah, I just hope he listened to me and remembers that the night is not about him. It’s about neil and nothing else.

Abby: [ Whispers] Yes.

Ashley: So, this big “surprise” you’ve got going tonight. No going back.

Tucker: No. It’s sad. You don’t have a problem with it, do you?

Ashley: Well, I would probably have handled things a little differently. I understand why you did what you did though, and I hope it works out for you the way you want it to. And that devon realizes that you’re serious about wanting to reconnect.

Tucker: Yeah, I hope so too. I just want him to be happy. What impact this will have on how he views me remains to be seen, but I think it’s worth the chance.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Chelsea: I’m curious as to why you wanted to meet. Everything all right?

Adam: It’s just peachy. Well, other than dad causing his usual drama, but, uh, it’s nothing I can’t mitigate. I, uh– I wanted to talk to you about the baby.

Chelsea: Oh? I hope everything’s going well with the pregnancy.

Adam: Yeah, sally is doing great. She, um, and our little girl.

Chelsea: Adam… you’re having a daughter.

Adam: Um, yeah, it’s– it’s– it’s incredible. It’s get, uh– getting more real by the second.

Chelsea: Yeah. I know the feeling.

Adam: Which brings me to why I’m here. Um, I think it’s time that we tell connor about the baby.

Sally: Woo. Hello to you too, baby girl.

[ Breathes deeply ] Sorry, I’m just trying to wrap my head around things ’cause you said that you want your granddaughter to be a part of the newman fold.

Victor: I do. I want her to grow up on my ranch, surrounded by uncles, aunts, cousins, anything she wants would be hers.

Sally: But not me. My baby stays and I go.

Victor: You’re very ambitious. You’re very gifted. You can build a company of your own wherever you want to. I’ll fully finance it. I leave you with that thought. Okay? And I have a feeling you will make the right decision, not only for yourself but for your baby.

[ Knock on the door ]

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: Hi.

Nick: Hey.

Sally: Wow. I did not expect you to come by.

Nick: Yeah, I just wanted to see if you were okay.

Sally: Uh, generally speaking or?

Nick: I understand my father summoned you to meet with him. I can only imagine how it went.

Sally: It was not what I expected.

Nick: Well, if you’re up for it, I’d like to hear everything he said to you. Up at 2:00am again?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lily: Daniel, you really should leave. I did not think that you were gonna come here tonight.

Daniel: Why wouldn’t I?

Lily: Because this is where your mom collapsed.

Daniel: Lily, it’s fine. I can deal.

Lily: Are you sure?

Daniel: Yeah. You know, I can’t stay away from this place just because of a bad memory. And it’s the coolest, most inspirational place in town. I gotta be able to come here.

Lily: Yeah, I, I understand that, but maybe not tonight.

Daniel: Especially tonight. I wasn’t there four years ago for neil’s funeral. I’m just glad that I get to honor his memory tonight.

Abby: It’s very generous of you to invite tucker tonight.

Devon: Well, I just thought, what would neil do?

Abby: The classy thing.

Devon: Exactly. And plus, it seems like, uh, tucker may be sticking around town for a little longer.

Abby: Was there a chance he could be leaving?

Devon: I mean, I thought so. Maybe after I didn’t buy his company and he sold it to victor.

Abby: Oh, I’m sure my dad is very pleased with himself for getting tucker’s company.

Devon: Oh, I’m sure he is. That’s what he wanted. And then tucker said that he thought about starting fresh in a new place, but decided to stay here for me and dominic.

Abby: Hmm. Well, I’m gonna bet that he’s being sincere.

Devon: Only time will tell that.

Abby: It must mean a lot to you. You know, that he’s making an effort. Maybe he could actually step up and be a father figure. Not like neil, not even close. But maybe he does deserve a second chance.

Devon: Would be nice. And you’re not the only one who thinks that tucker is redeemable.

Abby: Oh?

Devon: Yeah. Have you talked to your mom lately?

Abby: No. I mean, she texted me that she wanted to talk to me, but I just figured I’d see her at the party tonight.

Devon: Uh. She has invited tucker to move in with her at the abbott house. I didn’t want to be the one to tell you this. I just didn’t want you to get blindsided in front of everybody tonight.

Abby: Okay. Please, uh, tell me everything that you know.

Devon: He didn’t tell me any details, but I think that you should probably talk to your mom.

Abby: Oh, yeah, I intend to.

Ashley: So, when I bought your debt and then I wanted devon to buy mccall, you know, it was because I wanted to bring the two of you closer and that didn’t work out. But I just wanted to tell you that I’m really, really proud of you for taking the steps to make it happen now.

Tucker: Thank you. Your fingers crossed about tonight?

Ashley: Yeah, for both of us.

Tucker: Yeah. Any response from abby?

[ Ashley sighing ]

Ashley: No. I have all these scenarios going off in my head. You know, that she got the text, but she’s too busy or she got the text and she’s angry and–

[ Phone chiming ] Ah, finally. “At home. Come asap.”

Tucker: She knows.

Ashley: Yep. She knows. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Sally: Look, there’s no need to panic. As you can tell, I’m not drowning in a puddle of tears.

Nick: The fact that you even have to say that means I was right. He obviously gave you a hard time, which he had no business doing.

Sally: Would you mind telling me how you found out about our little heart to heart? Because I’m guessing victor did not advertise it to you, so it must have been adam?

Nick: Yeah, it was adam. He tracked me down. He thought I should know what was going on. We’re both very concerned about you, sally.

Sally: Yeah. Well, I can’t blame either of you. I’m actually surprised that you did not come storming down to society.

Nick: I wanted to. That was my first impulse, but adam advised against it.

Sally: Well, thank you both for staying out of it. You know, I– I didn’t need rescuing. I can handle victor all on my own. Although, I will admit it was definitely not the most fun conversation I’ve ever had. Your father has a real gift for intimidation. He just stares at you, and you want to run and hide. It’s like a superpower.

Nick: Did he threaten you? Go off on you?

Sally: No, it was actually all quite civil. Actually, was a little bit friendly when I first joined him.

Nick: Putting you at ease.

Sally: Yeah. But I’m not stupid. So, I stayed on my guard, and it didn’t take long for him to drop the act. I knew it was coming because he started talking about how important family was and you know, eventually he laid out his real agenda.

Nick: Which was what?

Sally: Your father will do whatever it takes to keep me away from you, adam and the rest of his precious family.

Chelsea: Obviously, we need to tell connor about the new baby at some point. Um, I’ve been wondering when that should be.

Adam: Well, I guess I picked the right time to bring it up then.

Chelsea: Is sally on board with this?

Adam: She encouraged me to share the news. Give connor some time to get used to the idea.

Chelsea: Smart thinking.

Adam: Mm-hmm. But also, she’s in her second trimester. She’s starting to show. Word is starting to spread and I sure don’t want connor to figure it out by seeing sally or finding it out from somebody else.

Chelsea: You’re absolutely right. He needs to hear it from us.

Adam: Well, good. I’m glad you agree.

Chelsea: Okay. So… how do we approach the topic? I mean, even if he’s okay with this, it’s– it’s gonna be a shock to him.

Adam: Yeah, and he’s been in such a great place. With us, at school. He’s comfortable with johnny being his brother. Um, we do not want to rock the boat.

Chelsea: So, what do you suggest?

Adam: Before I called, I remembered what you said to me when I told you that I was gonna be a dad again. You said that connor would be an amazing big brother and that this could be something really beautiful for our family.

Chelsea: And I meant that. This isn’t what any of us expected, you know, but it’s gonna be great. It’s gonna be great. We just have to make sure connor knows that it’s not gonna make us love him any less.

Adam: Mm-hmm. So, what do you think? How soon would you be comfortable doing this?

Chelsea: Well, connor should be back from soccer practice any minute. No time like the present.

Abby: Come in.

Ashley: Hi, honey.

Abby: Hi.

Ashley: Is devon here?

Abby: No, he thought we could use some privacy.

Ashley: Oh. So, I take it, he passed on tucker’s news.

Abby: He told me the basics and now I want to hear from you. What could you possibly be thinking?

Lily: Hello?

Devon: Hey, what’s up?

Lily: You look nice. Thank you. So do you.

Devon: How are you doing?

Lily: Good.

Devon: This is gonna be a great night tonight.

Lily: I know. I’m so glad we’re doing this. You ready?

Devon: I am. I’m ready. I get emotional a little bit from time to time. It’s gonna be a– a lot of love in the neil winters jazz lounge tonight. I just can’t believe how much time has gone by. You know?

Lily: I know. Our lives were so different from back then and yet it still feels like it happened just yesterday.

Devon: There’s still so much that I wanted to say to him that I never got a chance to.

Lily: Well, you can do it tonight. I know he’s listening. And I know that he’s looking down on us and he is very proud of us.

Devon: Amen. Good checkup?

Ashley: I’m just gonna be very honest with you. All right? He was serious about leaving town and I knew that he wanted to be close to devon and dominic and frankly, abby, I wasn’t ready to see him go.

Abby: Oh, my god.

Ashley: So, I came up with this idea that maybe we could work it out.

Abby: So, it was you. You were the one who convinced tucker to stay.

Ashley: I’ve got my eyes wide open.

Abby: I have to tell you, mom, I think this is ridiculous and honestly, a little pathetic.

Ashley: Abby, I’m still your mother. Watch your mouth.

[ Abby sighing ] Look, I see a good man who’s trying to do the right thing, but he– he always does the wrong thing.

Abby: And you can’t change him.

Ashley: I’m just giving him a little room to give it a shot.

Abby: To give it a shot.

Ashley: That’s it. All right. Now, are you angry because devon invited tucker to neil’s tribute tonight?

Abby: I think that’s a little bit different, don’t you? I mean, that’s a father and son thing, asking him to come to an event for one night, but you, you are asking him to move into our family’s home. Are you serious? Oh, my gosh.

Ashley: What?

Abby: I know what this is about. This is about uncle jack.

Ashley: Oh, lord.

Abby: It is, isn’t it? Because I told you, you should move out because you guys are arguing over diane. But no, you doubled down and you asked tucker to move in.

Ashley: It’s not about jack. Okay? That wasn’t the primary reason. The reason was tucker.

Abby: Okay. Well, I think you’re gonna regret this. I hope I’m wrong, but I think you’re gonna regret this in so many ways.

Ashley: I hope you’re wrong too. And I also hope this doesn’t come between the two of us.

Abby: Of course, it won’t, mom. I love you.

Ashley: I love you too.

Abby: And it’s your life. You can make your own decisions. I’m just–

Ashley: I know, you’re concerned. I get it. Can I please say hello to my grandson?

Abby: Well, dominic is sleeping right now, and I really have to get ready. Louise is on her way to watch dominic tonight.

Ashley: All right. Okay. I’ll see you at the tribute.

Abby: Yeah.

Ashley: Okay.

Lily: Oh, thank you so much for coming. I know it’s hard to get away when you’re working and you have a new baby.

Mariah: No, no. Tonight was worth the effort.

Lily: And congratulations on aria. I know you and tessa are excited.

Mariah: We are. It was just so weird. We came back and we were so joyous and everyone’s dealing with this tragedy. I know that we’re not well acquainted, but everyone here seems to love you and I just wanted to say that I am so, so sorry for your loss.

Daniel: Thank you. It’s very kind.

Mariah: I know it’s been a lot of years, but, um, is it so weird to look at me and be reminded of cassie?

Daniel: Well, it does make me think of her every time I see you, but I wouldn’t say that’s weird.

Lily: Well, it took us a while to get used to it, so.

Daniel: You know, why don’t I make myself useful? Would either of you ladies’ care for a drink?

Mariah: Oh, no, no. I’ll get one a little bit later.

Daniel: Lily?

Lily: Uh, yeah. I’ll do a glass of wine.

Daniel: One glass of wine coming up.

Lily: Thank you.

Sharon: Lily, I’m so sorry about moses.

Lily: Oh, thank you.

Mariah: What? What happened to moses?

Sharon: Uh, well, he and faith were supposed to be here tonight.

Lily: But they’re busy studying for finals and they couldn’t make it, so.

Mariah: Oh. Thank, goodness. Mom, you really shouldn’t phrase things like that. I mean, we got back from our trip and phyllis and uh, just– I’m glad moses is okay.

Sharon: Yeah, I understand. I’m sorry, sorry.

Mariah: Uh, on that note, I am gonna join daniel for that drink.

Nikki: They certainly bring back a lot of memories, don’t they?

Victor: Yeah, certainly does. One of the few guys I ever trusted, you know? He’s a good friend.

Devon: You know what? The feeling was definitely mutual.

Victor: Hey, devon.

Devon: Mr. And mrs. Newman.

Victor: How the hell are you, bud?

Nikki: Hi, devon.

Devon: Thank you so much for being here tonight.

Nikki: Oh, we wouldn’t have missed it.

Victor: So nice of you and lily to do this.

Devon: Yeah. Well, thank you to you both for making this lounge so special. ‘Cause he would have just loved every bit of it.

Victor: He certainly would have. Not the same without him, is it?

Devon: Not at all.

Sally: I’m okay telling you what happened with victor, but will you be okay listening to it?

Nick: What did he say?

Sally: Okay, nick, please calm down. I can literally feel the tension rolling off of you.

Nick: No, I’m cool.

Sally: You promise?

Nick: Yeah, I promise. I’m good. Please continue.

Sally: Okay. So, during the initial ingratiating phase, he congratulated me on having the baby, sweet as pie. He actually seemed genuinely excited about having a granddaughter.

Nick: Well, I’m sure he meant that. You know, family is everything to him. Although at times, he has a warped way of showing that.

Sally: Yeah. Um, anyway, so far so good. Right? Then he asked me about my past.

Nick: Oh, damn him.

Sally: Look, at first it was fine. You know, we talked about how he was sure that I wanted more for my child than I had growing up and how she would have the best of everything and not just material things, but you know, care and affection and being a part of all these lovely traditions and a big warm family and that she would never feel alone like I did as a kid.

Nick: Well, I’m sure those words coming out of anyone else’s mouth would be comforting. It was a real smooth way to set you up.

Sally: Yeah, I was suckered into thinking for a minute there that maybe he actually was gonna, I don’t know, give me a chance now that I’m carrying one of his grandkids. And then he apologized for tanking the negotiations with jill and he… offered to make it up to me.

Nick: Really? What was the catch?

Sally: You saw that coming too, huh? Yeah. He went in for the kill. Victor offered to set me up in business anywhere in the world, success and riches beyond my wildest dreams, but the baby would stay here with the real newmans.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

Adam: How was practice?

Connor: Good. I didn’t know you’d be here. This is great. Are we doing family stuff?

Chelsea: Sort of.

Adam: Uh, we are having a little family meeting.

Connor: Oh, okay. That’s cool. As long as it’s not about my history project again. I’m almost done. I swear.

Chelsea: It’s not about school. It’s a family meeting to talk about our family.

Connor: The three of us?

Adam: That’s right. That’s why we wanted to talk to you. We are adding a new member to the club soon.

Nick: Okay. So, my father tried to pay you off. Bribe you to leave town, but the baby stays here. Awesome. I got it.

Sally: You don’t seem too surprised.

Nick: This is vintage victor newman.

Sally: I mean, your dad only sees me as the person that I used to be, someone from a poor background who’s desperate to get ahead, but he– he’s never grasped that I’ve changed because he’s never even bothered to get to know me. He never stopped to think once, “hm. Maybe there’s a reason why both of my sons actually care about this woman.” And he definitely never considered that being a mom and being a part of my daughter’s life would mean more to me than anything that he could tempt me with.

Nick: I just don’t get how he could get so far in life with zero understanding of people.

Sally: I mean, victor never thought I was worthy to be a part of the newman circle and I suspect he never will. But hey, at least one good thing came out of it. He’s shown his hand. So now, I know exactly what my daughter and i will be up against.

Nick: I’m so sorry that he disrespected you like that. You didn’t deserve it. But I have your back and so does adam. And he’s not gonna get away with treating you like a second-class citizen.

Sally: Well, thank you for listening. It’s very sweet of you. But I really don’t want to talk about it anymore because it’s just exhausting thinking about what happened and worrying about what victor might pull next.

Nick: Well. Um, I’m gonna have some, uh, room service sent up to you, all right? Then, you can get some rest.

Sally: Wait a second, you’re leaving?

Nick: Yeah. Yeah. I just want you to relax and, uh, enjoy some peace and quiet.

Sally: So, you can go confront your father because I know that’s exactly what you’re planning. No. No. I’m not letting you leave.

Victor: Hello, my sweetheart. I wondered where you had been.

Abby: Uh, something came up last minute.

Victor: Oh.

Nikki: Nothing serious, I hope.

Abby: It’s all taken care of. I’m really happy that you’re here.

Victor: We wouldn’t miss it for anything.

Abby: Well, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go check in with, devon.

Victor: All right.

Nikki: Okay.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Hey. Mm. You look beautiful.

Abby: Oh, thank you. How’s everything going?

Devon: It’s all right. I just got a message from jack saying he’s not gonna be able to make it. He said he’s sorry. As if he has to apologize for anything with everything he’s dealing with.

Abby: And now my mom and tucker too.

Devon: How did your talk with her go?

Abby: I’ll fill you in later.

Devon: Are you guys all right?

Abby: For the most part. But you know, coming in here given the occasion and well, now seeing daniel, the last thing I want to do is complain about a difference of opinion that I’m having with one of my parents. Right now, all I care about is you and what tonight means for your family.

Devon: Thank you. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Connor: I’m not sure what you mean. Who’s joining the family?

Adam: Um, sally is expecting a little girl.

Connor: Sweet. I’ll have another cousin since sally’s with uncle nick now.

Adam: Yeah. They are dating, but I’m the baby’s father.

Chelsea: Which means you get to have a baby sister.

Connor: Oh. Um, okay.

Adam: Look, I know that this is a lot to take in.

Connor: Yeah. You guys aren’t a couple anymore, but you’re having a baby together.

Adam: Well, families come in all shapes and sizes, as you have learned recently, so we’re gonna work it out.

Connor: How are you with all this? Are you okay?

Chelsea: Oh, sweetheart, I’m– I’m fine. I’m– I’m excited to bring this new little baby into our lives. Plus, if she’s your little sister, I like her already, so.

Connor: Okay. Is that it? Can I go upstairs now?

Mariah: Finally. Got you all to myself.

Devon: Hey, you. How you doing? I didn’t know I was so hard to get.

Mariah: I was just looking at the photos that you and lily put together of neil.

Devon: Yeah.

Mariah: I was very, very moved. He had a well lived life.

Devon: He really did.

Mariah: Tessa sends her love, by the way. She’s at home with the baby. Probably giving her a bottle as we speak.

Devon: Aw. I’m sure when she’s a little closer to dom’s age, her schedule will mirror yours a little better.

Mariah: A little? Oh, my goodness, you’re scaring me.

Devon: Maybe, not at all. I don’t know. All babies are, you know.

Mariah: They’re different. Yes, we keep hearing that. Every day is a new experience. It’s a good thing that we like surprises.

Devon: Isn’t it crazy to think about our kids growing up together?

Mariah: They’re gonna be best friends. Forever. Just like us.

Devon: That’s right.

Sharon: I’ll speak to you soon.

Abby: Yes.

Daniel: Abby, how’s it going?

Abby: It’s a great night. I hope being here isn’t too difficult for you.

Daniel: Getting used to hearing that tone of voice from people. Can we actually skip the next part where you ask me how everything’s going, and I reassure you that it’s going to be fine?

Abby: Done and done.

Daniel: Thank you. Great. Place looks amazing. Very elegant. I heard you had a lot to do with it.

Abby: Uh, no. This was all lily and devon. I just lent a helping hand where I could.

Daniel: Mm-hmm, I’m sure you’re being modest.

Abby: I enjoyed helping out. I felt like it was the least I could do.

Daniel: Yeah. They’ve been to hell and back. It’s nice to see them getting along again, focusing on what matters most.

Abby: So, will devon and I be seeing more of you now?

Daniel: Well, I do work under the chancellor-winters umbrella now and lily and I are old friends. So yeah, maybe you might be seeing more of me.

Abby: Hm.

Nikki: I always said neil and dru were made for each other.

Sharon: It was a love for the ages.

Victor: Unfortunately, they left us all too soon.

Lily: Well, is anyone ever ready?

Sharon: What’s most important is the memories that they leave us with and the way that they shape us growing up. Neil and drucilla were extraordinary people. It’s no wonder that you and devon turned out to be the kind of leaders who everyone trusts and looks up to. Just between us, you know what’s better than mopping?

Chelsea: Are you sure you don’t have any questions? Because you can tell us anything. You can ask us any question you got? We will not judge you.

Connor: I really don’t have anything else to say right now. I gotta finish my history project.

Adam: Okay. And that’s okay. Your mom and I will be here to talk whenever you’d like. But look, before you go up, I just, I wanna tell you one more thing. I will always love you. Nothing and no one will ever change that. This little girl, she will never take your place in my heart.

Chelsea: I second that. We adore you, sweetheart.

Connor: Cool. I love you guys too. Can I go?

Adam: Sure, buddy.

Chelsea: Yes, you can, but you know what I’m about to say. Homework first and then computer.

[ Chelsea sighing ]

Adam: I’m not sure if that was good or bad.

Chelsea: Well, it could have gone worse. So that’s something. Just give it time, adam. He’ll warm up to the idea.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: I just can’t help but picturing it. Connor meeting his sister for the first time, wanting to show her off, teach her things. You know, the three of us starting this new adventure.

Chelsea: One big, extended family. You and the kids. Me, sally and nick, right?

Adam: Did I say otherwise? We’re all in this together.

Nick: If I was planning to go and have a word with my father, what makes you think you can do anything to stop me?

Sally: Well, for starters, I would ask you not to go charge into battle and escalate things. And if that didn’t work, then I might have to use my feminine wiles on you.

Nick: You– your, uh… your what? Did you just use the word wiles?

Sally: You know, I could pretend to be super sexy and enticing, but instead, I’m going to insist that you spoon me so I can close my eyes and lay down for a bit.

Nick: I can do that.

Sally: Okay.

Sally: Everything’s better when you’re around.

Nick: I feel the same way about you.

[ Guests whispering ]

Nikki: Victor, whatever questions you may have about ashley’s interest in that man, now is not the time. Tonight is about neil.

Victor: I won’t bother them for now.

Lily: Everyone, can I have your attention, please. Devon and I want to welcome you to tonight’s event. We are celebrating the life of neil winters. The man that we all love and the man that we all miss.

Devon: Yes. And we’re gonna keep tonight simple. We have some cocktails and some mock tails, which were some of neil’s favorites and those are all thanks to the lovely abby newman.

[ Applause ]

Lily: We also have an amazing pianist here from the winters mood label, lester thomas, who will be playing our dad’s favorite songs.

[ Applause ]

Devon: And we would like to honor neil winters tonight with stories and memories and with joy and with music, of course, and with recognition of his lasting legacy here in genoa city.

[ Applause ]

Harmony: I’m so glad I made it in time.

Devon: Next week on the young and the restless.

Tucker: You need a way out of here. I can give you that.

Daniel: What’s it like when kyle holds you in his arms and he’s trying to comfort you because he thinks that you’re grieving? And what’s it like knowing how upset he is about his mother? His mother that he just started to rebuild a relationship with. How can you look him in the eyes knowing that you could take all that pain away, but instead, you just keep choosing to lie to him?

Adam: I’m not offering you cash. I’m offering you a job, working for me.

Malcolm: And for my brother, family was everything.

Devon: Malcolm, what are you doing here, man?

Lily: Hi.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I’m – we heard about willow. How’s she doing?

Michael’s with her now.

What happened?

She collapsed, and we’re waiting to hear from dr. Randolph, but we talked to tj, and her condition is deteriorating.

How bad?

Hopefully, drew can find your aunt liesl and bring her back here in time to have the bone marrow transplant. But until then, willow has to stay in the hospital.

Thank you for agreeing to stay at the hospital.

Well… the whole, “if you go home, you won’t make it back” argument was pretty persuasive.

Guess I pulled out all the stops.

You were right, too. You made me see I need a controlled environment for now so I can go home to you and our kids later. And michael… I’m fighting with everything I have to stay with our family.

[Dramatic music]

Jordan? Jordan, can you hear me?

Yes, I can hear you. Where are you?

On the haunted star with spencer and ace.

Trina, listen to me. You have to get off that boat now.

Yes, we know, but–

– no buts. There are drones on the way with orders to drop bombs on the entire island, and we have no way to stop them. Take the baby and get to the seaplane before it’s too late.

[Whispering] I can’t leave my grandmother behind.

Or curtis. Jordan, what about the others?

Every second counts. Take the baby and get off that island now.

Trina, you take ace, and you try to get to the seaplane. I’m gonna try to warn my grandmother.

No. What if you run into victor or his guards? I’m not leaving you.

– Spencer, it’s felicia. You and I both know that your grandmother would want you and ace to be safe.

Exactly. Your job, both of you, is to get yourselves and the baby to that plane

before it takes off.

Drop the gun, victor.

Now, why on earth would I do that? Especially as you’re gonna drop your gun and let me pass.

Why would I do that? Obviously, you’d shoot me if I did.

Stop talking, and shoot him!

Oh, careful, miss sutton! You might hit liesl.

I accept the risk. Now, shoot him!

Well, now, what about poor willow? Anything happens to you, and she’ll die.

I’ll instruct you how to harvest my marrow from my dying body. Now, pull the trigger!

Okay!

Anything happens to me, we all die.

[Gasps] Valentin! Oh, my god!

[Monitor beeping] What– talk to me!

Anna. No, you’re not real. You’re an illusion.

What? What?

[Sobbing] You’re just like helena. I’m imagining you.

No, no, you’re not. No, I’m here. I’m absolutely real. Valentin, you have to hang on.

God… if you can hear me… please keep trina and curtis safe. Just bring my family home.

[Knock at door] Come in.

[Clears throat]

Hi. Hope I’m not interrupting. I just wanted to check on you.

Marshall was here with me earlier. [Chuckles] But, I, uh–I sent him home ’cause he needs his rest.

He’s not the only one.

Yeah, I know. I’m so tired. But I just can’t stop thinking about… what if I never see curtis and trina ever again?

– Wait a minute. The displayon this computer, the–

[Computer beeping] The program that it’s running, I’ve seen that before.

You’ve seen it where?

Oh, my god. 40 years ago, in another underground bunker also owned by mikkos cassadine. Wait a minute. Look at this. Look at this. The displays–

“temperature,” “target area.” “New york, new j–” it’s a map of the mid-atlantic states.

It’s all the same.

Same as what?

I think there might be another weather machine.

[Sighs]

[Dramatic music]

Okay, we get what you’re saying, but the others have to be warned.

I promise you, we’ll find a way to tell everyone in the bunker about the drone strike.

You need to get to the seaplane now, otherwise you’re putting yourselves and ace in grave danger.

They’re right.

Jordan… please tell my mom and dad I love them.

I will, and then you can tell them yourselves when you get home. Now get yourself to the plane. Good luck, and stay safe.

Okay, we have to hurry. Let’s bundle ace up the best that we can, and– trina–

right, okay.

Trina, we can do this.

Together.

It’s one thing for trina not to speak to me. I get that she’s angry. She should be. I’ll take the silence. But for her to listen to spencer, someone who’s been known to hurt every single person that’s cared about him–

spencer can be difficult.

All I was trying to do was give trina some time, some time and some space to process everything that had happened. And now, the window that I had to make things right– it might be gone forever.

Portia, no, no.

I just don’t know why I waited. Why didn’t I just go to her? Go to her and done everything in my power to make things right while i still had the chance to do it.

Trina is as big-hearted as she is stubborn. And when she gets back– when– two of you will be able to work things out.

[Knock at door]

Come in. Is there word?

We just heard from trina and spencer.

[Dramatic music]

Valentin, focus! Look at me, valentin.

The real anna’s in a hospital. My father shot her. She told me to come and get him.

I know I told you that. But I came after you.

God, I wish you were really here so I could hold you against me one last time, tell you how much I love you.

Hey. I love you, too. Listen… valentin… I love you. That’s why I’m here… to help you. I’m gonna get you out of there, all right?

No. You can’T.

Hey, hursley!

Da scorpio. Very brave of you to speak to me without your lawyer present.

Unless you’re here to tell me that the bureau now realizes how stupid it is to bomb an island with ten people on it, then get out of my face.

Eh, but I’m under orders to stay and monitor the situation.

Do it where I can’t see you.

Let’s keep each other posted, shall we?

I’m gonna talk to this director myself, see if I can get through to him.

I had heard stories that the cassadines had a machine that could control the climate, but I thought it was just an urban legend.

No. No, it wasn’T. It was absolutely real. It was based on something called carbonic snow. You see, the weather machine was capable of creating an artificial blizzard in a targeted area, and in the summer of 1981, mikkos cassadine aimed that thing right at the city of port charles. A group of us–luke, robert, tiffany hill, and I– we all managed to stop him, and that weather machine was destroyed. But this is the same program.

Okay, well, the computer’s from the same era. If it’s the same program… is it hooked up to another weather machine?

Hey, brook lynn told me willow was here.

Thanks for coming.

[Sighs] Nina.

I am so scared.

Michael is not going to like that sonny and nina are here.

No. Let’s hope they have sense enough to keep their distance.

Thank you.

How is willow? Any updates?

Well, the updates are not good. Her condition is getting worse.

I know that this must be agony for you, for everyone. Is there any word on liesl?

Nothing.

Give up, victor. Backup is on the way. There’s nowhere to run.

Come on, holly. That old trick? You disappoint me.

It’s not a trick.

Look, you’re wasting your time here. Just let me go, and then you can get on with looking for your son, ethan.

Ethan’s perfectly fine, thank you. Felicia and I found out about the auction– sick, little affair that it was– and ethan is now safe and far from your reach. You failed, again.

Well, it doesn’t matter. Once I release this pathogen, it has an 80% mortality rate, and I’m the only one with the antidote.

At this point, victor, why bother?

Why bother? Try to save the world? Why bother living?

But what’s to live for for you, bearing in mind your unfortunate condition?

What do you mean by that?

I’d have thought by now you’d have figured out, victor, that it was me who arranged for a little addition to your cocktail.

And a lot of good it did. He’s still alive and kicking.

Yeah, well, alive? Yes. Kicking? Not so much. And I’m glad we’re finally face-to-face, victor, ’cause I really want you to know that it was me.

You don’t mean–

no more heirs for uncle victor. In fact, victor, you can’t even… try, can you?

You bitch!

[Grunts]

[Gunshot]

[Struggling efforts]

[Victor groans] Ah!

[Dramatic music]

You’re awake?

I am.

I don’t wanna interrupt.

You could never.

Oh, I could. You should ask him.

Yeah, yeah. She definitely could.

[Laughs]

So, what’s up?

Sonny and nina are here. They heard what happened.

You know, I don’t really think I can think about them right now. Could you tell them to just–

michael, wait.

Drew!

Liesl, no, no, no, no! No!

Liesl, can you hear me?

Was she–was she hit?

[Dramatic music]

You can’t open that door, anna. I’m infected.

I know. We’re here to help you.

Where’s victor and obrecht? They have the cure.

I don’t know where they are. The others are looking for them.

The others? Oh, my god. [Sobs]

Just don’t worry about them. All right? God. Um– what I’m gonna do is, I’m gonna try to find you a hazmat suit or something that we can put on you, and then we can get you to safety, okay? I’ll be right back.

No, don’t go!

No, you don’t understand! We don’t have time!

No, I love how you never give up, but it’s already too late.

You know, we could be looking at an electronic ghost– an old program that started up when the computer booted up. Well, as long as it’s not connected to an actual weather machine, should be harmless.

Except that mikkos cassadine was never harmless. He was relentless. He was obsessive and absolutely thorough. And he knew– he absolutely knew that there were agencies, including the wsb, tracking him, trying to stop him.

Seems like a guy like that would have backups.

I think you’re right. Oh, my god.

Well, then, that explains this. Why would mikkos cassadine equip a bunker in literally the middle of nowhere without telling his brother? So he could retreat, if he needed to, with two weapons, two ways to hold the world hostage: The pathogen and the weather machine. Laura, this is real, and it’s running. We gotta stop it. I’ll find a way to kill the power.

No, no, wait, don’t do that. We can kill the power to this computer, but that doesn’t mean that we can kill the power to the weather machine.

You’re right. If we interrupt the power, the computer might shut down and lock us out entirely, and we’ll never find them.

Yeah. It’s calibrated its target. It’s the same as last time.

Port charles.

[Dramatic music]

Trina and spencer agreed to head straight to the plane. With any luck, they should be home before daybreak.

[Laughs]

Oh, and… trina says she loves you.

Thank you, jordan.

[Distant siren wails]

Is that snow?

[Ominous music]

Oh, my goodness.

Willow seems stable. Everything– so can we just go?

No, I wanna just stay a little bit longer, sonny, just in case.

Michael? How are you doing?

I’m okay, all things considered. Nina–

I’m not gonna– I’m not here to cause trouble.

No. Willow wants to see you.

[Melancholy music]

Come on, liesl. Liesl. Please!

She’s got a pulse.

All right.

Liesl, can you hear me?

How bad is it?

[Dramatic music]

There must be a way to stop the process.

It’s already begun. And it will only get worse as it slowly works its way up to full power. See, the longer the machine is in operation, the greater the devastation will be.

All right, well, we have to try something. I got an idea.

Okay.

Suspend… operations.

[Computer beeping] “To terminate functions, enter chemical formula in operation.” Chemical formula for what?

Carbonic snow. I told you, that’s how the machine works. The–it creates a blizzard by using carbonic snow.

Who has the formula to carbonic snow?

[Dramatic music]

I do.

Okay. Are you sure this is the right way?

Yeah, we’re heading east.

Didn’t take you for a boy scout.

Sailing at prep school.

Of course.

Someone’s coming.

Maybe it’s curtis.

Maybe it’s not.

It’s okay. It’s all right.

Uncle victor still has the pathogen.

Where’s curtis?

I don’t know. But I need to go after victor.

Spencer, you can’T.

Any luck?

Yeah, all bad. Hursley was right about one thing: This new director is definitely not gonna take any of my calls. Anybody who I manage to get through to pretty much said the same thing.

They have to follow protocol in the event of a bioterror threat. I got the same drill.

Yeah, we’re dealing with… ten people here, as far as the bureau’s concerned, rather than billions.

Even if those ten are our friends.

Speaking of which, I was hoping to have heard from anna by now.

Well… she’s a little busy.

Will you please tell charlotte how sorry I am and that I love her and she was always the best thing in my life?

She still is!

[Heart monitor beeping]

I should’ve known better.

What?

When I looked into alex’s eyes, I should’ve known that she wasn’t you, because there’s no kindness there. You have compassion in your eyes. Even all those years ago, when you rejected my affection…

oh.

You still knew my heart. You still had compassion in your eyes. And I wish I had held on to that. And alex couldn’t have poisoned what we had. But she did, and I let her. And I wish that I hadn’t let anger and spite control me, because then, maybe we would’ve found each other so much sooner and I could’ve been the man that I am with you, and I like the man that I am with you. So, if this is how I die–

no, this is not how you die!

It’s okay, because you redeemed me.

[Dramatic music]

[Sobbing] Thank you. I love you, anna devane.

I will always– I’ll always love you.

[Gasps]

Valentin!

So I will check on wiley and amelia and make sure brook lynn and tracy aren’t teaching them really bad habits.

[Knock at door]

[Laughs]

[Desolate music]

Michael said that you wanted to s ee me?

Uh, I do. Um, carly, thank you for everything.

Yeah. Remember, you need to rest. No excitement.

How are you feeling?

The fluids are helping.

That’s good.

Nina… I want you to do something for me.

Name it.

Leave carly alone.

It’s not a bullet wound. She must have hit her head when she fell.

Okay, okay. Liesl? Liesl, I need you to open your eyes.

Mm…

open your eyes. Oh, there she is.

[Groans in pain]

Thank god. Thank god. Okay.

Okay.

Okay, take it easy. Easy, easy.

There you go.

Victor…

there you go.

Where’s that vile insect?

He’s right…

[Dramatic music] Wait, wait, wait. Wait, he’s gone! He’s gone, and so is the canister. He’s gotta be headed back to the “haunted star.”

I’ll go. You get liesl to the plane.

Nein! Valentin is dying. He needs the antidote.

What happened? Where’s spencer?

Some guy showed up out of nowhere. We did our best to fight him off. He took out ivan and knocked me out.

So you’ve no idea where he is? What about, er, ace?

I checked the stateroom. The baby and the nanny are both gone.

Oh, to hell with the nanny. Search the ship. Find my nephews. No, wait. Get the ship under way first. We’re leaving, with or without my family.

[Sighs, winces]

You cannot go after victor. We agreed to get ace to the plane. That’s the plan. Now let’s go before one of victor’s men sees us.

You go. I can’t let my uncle victor escape, not when he has the pathogen that he intends to release and kill half this planet.

Spencer!

Trina, take my brother and go. I will be right behind you. Okay?

You promise?

I promise. I promise.

[Sighs]

Snow in may.

It happens. Last time was, like, three years ago. Aiden did a report on it. But this is especially bizarre. It was in the 70s this afternoon.

What you said about aiden and the report– I mean, that makes me think about trina. All the reports and all the homework…

[All laugh] That we helped them with over the years. Well, until trina said that she’s old enough and she can do it by herself.

[Laughs]

You both are mothers, so I know that you understand that even though trina’s in college, she’s always, always gonna be my little baby girl.

[Wind whistling] Every time I look at her, I just see this little trace of a grin that she had when she was in her terrible twos.

[Laughs] And sometimes, I think she never grew out of them.

[Laughs]

But that smile… no matter how old she gets, that’s what I’m gonna see.

[Eerie music]

– Right after we stopped mikkos, I… I found the formula in a stateroom, and I studied it as I was falling asleep. And then, when I woke up, I realized that no one should ever have access to that information, so we burned the paper, but… the formula is seared into my memory.

[Dramatic music] Robert was always afraid about that. He was afraid that if someone found out, that they might come after me for it.

Listen, that’s not the kind of information you should have rattling around in your head. It could be dangerous.

But this might be the very thing that saves… everyone.

[Heart monitor beeping]

Valentin.

Anna.

Hi.

What are you doing? You can’t be in here.

I know. It’s too late.

Why would you do that?

‘Cause I love you.

I’m contagious. I’m infected. My god, what have you done?

[Soft dramatic music]

Laura, that was over 40 years ago. How sure are you that you memorized that formula exactly?

[Dramatic music] If we guess improperly, this whole system could lock us out. We got one shot at this.

I know.

Do you trust me?

Absolutely.

[Computer beeps]

[Sighs] Oh, my god.

It worked.

It worked; we did it.

Oh, my.

Oh.

oh, holly, how I wish I had been able to kill you myself after what you did to me. But I suppose you’re just gonna have to take your chances with the rest of humanity. Right. Let’s get this pathogen somewhere safe and the antidote somewhere safer.

[Dramatic music] No!

Okay, okay, take it easy. Good.

I stole the antidote while victor wasn’t looking, so if he releases the pathogen, there’s an 80% chance he’ll be killing himself as well.

Do you think that would stop him?

Victor’s both an idealist and an extremist, and cassadines are often willing to go down with the ship, so to speak.

Okay.

I think this is the way out.

Okay, good. Holly! It’s holly. My god, what are you doing here? What’s going on?

Here, you need to call robert and jordan, tell them that victor’s getting away. He’s got the pathogen with him. Last I saw, he was headed towards the “haunted star.” Where’s valentin?

What have you done?

I don’t know. I mean… I thought maybe I could find some kind of… suit or protection, but…

[Soft dramatic music] I just didn’t want you to be alone.

I don’t know that dying together is all it’s cracked up to be.

[Laughs] I… hey. Hey, look at me, right here. I want you to listen to me. I wanna tell you about someone: Valentin cassadine.

Oh, I–

no, listen. He’s a man that is not going to die in some obscene plot of his father’s, because he–you– you have a destiny. You’re gonna be an even greater father to charlotte. You’re gonna be my partner. Because… you know my darkness. You know what I’m capable of, and you’re capable of those things, too. I know that sounds a little twisted, but it’s not, really, because I think that kind of connection– it sort of elevates us, in a way. You know? It allows us to… love the people we love without any kind of restraint or restriction, including each other.

[Tender music]

I think that’s why I– I came into this room.

[Sighs]

But you’ll die.

I… not necessarily. I mean, there’s, like, a 20% chance that I’m immune to this thing. I can beat those odds. I’m willing to risk them…

just to be with you.

We’re sure everything is fine.

Really?

No. But we haven’t heard any yelling yet, and nina hasn’t bolted out of the room in tears, so…

I appreciate your optimism, sasha.

[Tense music] But… when my dad was at turning woods… I hate to wait. I hated it. We would pace back and forth. We’d wait. We’d hold his hand. We would wait.

We just felt hopeless.

Even though he didn’t know that you were there, I think you just being there helped mike.

I hope so.

I just don’t know what willow could possibly have to say to nina.

Maybe I made a mistake, letting nina in there.

Hey. Hey. You did exactly what your wife asked you to do. You did the right thing.

My wife. Now willow and I are married.

[Sighs] I just the day hadn’t been so hard on her.

Well, next time, I promise to wait till after the reception before I’m hauled in for questioning.

What next time?

I don’t know. Birthdays, anniversaries, vow renewal. You have a lifetime of celebrations ahead of you, michael. You do. I know it. And as for your wedding day, willow doesn’t regret a second of it.

Even now?

I’m sorry, you want what?

I want you and carly to make peace.

I can try.

I know you won’t ever be friends, or even friendly, but promise me you’ll at least keep your distance, stop keeping score of who wronged who when and just… let it all go. Wow.

[Laughs weakly] You–you haven’t changed at all, for all you claim to care about me?

No, I do, I do. I care. I care a lot about you. I–

then promise me, regardless of whether I survive this or not, to drop your vendetta against carly.

Oh.

Any word?

Not yet.

[Phone rings]

Excuse me. Commissioner ashford.

Jordan, it’s curtis. I got you on speakerphone.

– Curtis. I’m putting you on speaker.

Curtis, curtis, it’s portia. Is trina with you?

Not at the moment, but I’ve seen her. She’s okay.

Curtis, you need to get out of there. The wsb has ordered a drone strike on the island. Both: What?

– They can’t risk the pathogen getting released into the world. The drones are already on their way.

But the pathogen isn’t here.

Where is it?

– We just saw holly. She said that victor’s trying to escape on the “haunted star” and he took the pathogen with him. Bombing the island is not going to do any good.

You’ve gotta stop

the airstrike.

Hursley!

[Dramatic music] Tell your boss to call off his airstrike.

Da scorpio, for the millionth time, there is not–

change of circumstances. Victor’s left the island. He’s taken the pathogen with him. All you’re doing now is killing innocent people and covering his escape.

Okay.

Okay?

Okay. I–I won’t get into it with carly anymore.

Thank you.

Uh, nina? Willow needs her rest.

[Soft dramatic music]

I’m not perfect. I make mistakes all the time. I’m gonna be–I’m gonna try to be a better person, okay? If there’s anything else you need, just…

keep your promise.

Come on, will you?

The drones are already on their way. We don’t know exactly when the strike will happen, but it could be anytime, so you need to get out of there.

Laura.

Yes, robert.

You’re okay. The bureau listened this time. The strike’s been called off.

[Sighs]

What about victor?

Liesl. You double-crossed me. I am not having a very good day.

[Sighs]

[Footsteps clacking] You need to turn the ship around. We have to go back.

I don’t take orders from you anymore.

Spencer!

I thought you might come crawling back. If you think I’m gonna forgive you–

I’m not here for forgiveness.

It’s over, uncle.

Curtis, laura. Oh, thank god. Thank god I found you.

Trina, what are you still doing here?

Is the baby all right?

Yes, yes, I… listen. We gotta get out of here. There’s gonna be an airstrike.

We know all about the airstrike. We got it under control.

Yeah, it’s okay. We got in touch with the wsb. We told them that victor’s trying to escape on the “haunted star.”

Spencer and I saw him, but we gotta go.

The drone strike has been redirected. We’re safe.

Redirected where?

The new target’s the “haunted star.”

But spencer’s on that ship!

Oh, calm down, dear boy.

I’m not your boy. Give me the pathogen, and we can both walk out of here alive.

[Scoffs] How dare you threaten me? I’m the head of our family. This is finished when I say.

I said hand it over.

You’ll have to rip it out of my cold, dead fingers.

Fine.

No– ow!

[Dramatic music]

[Cell phone rings]

Hello?

Carly! Carly, can you hear me?

Drew? Are you okay? What happened?

So, how was your talk with nina? Did you get what you wanted from her?

I hope so. Who knows? I wanna believe that nina’s sincere.

Okay. Michael, willow, there’s someone who wants to talk to you.

Hello?

Yeah.

– Willow?

Drew–drew? Are you all right?

Not only am I okay…

I’m okay, too, not that anyone has asked.

[Laughs]

Dr. O– great-aunt liesl! I’m so glad you’re all right.

We are on our way back. Then you can literally suck the life from the bones.

Oh, we can’t wait.

Okay, so liesl and i are on our way back. Not sure who’s joining us, but everyone should be back soon.

I can’t wait to see you.

Me too. Let’s get out of here.

Anna…

I love you, too.

[Door thumps open]

Anna!

Get out! You’ll get infected.

Kind of you to care, but don’t worry. I’ve got the antidote.

Our satellite has eyes on the “haunted star.” It’s on the move.

Victor’s trying to escape, and you guys are gonna stop him.

[Dramatic music]

I’m glad I didn’t kill you, though I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

[Jet engines roaring]

What do you mean, he’s on the “haunted star”?

Spencer went to go after victor. We have to call the wsb so they–

[Explosion] Spencer.

Oh! Oh!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, this is just surreal. Honestly, I, I, I didn’t think that I would ever see this place again. Wait until everyone sees you. I mean, I’m sure most people know that you’re alive and well, but. Still, just to have you back here. It’s great. It is. Although, I have to say, I am not thrilled that we left your father and the others in Greece, especially since your Uncle Bo’s future is still up in the air and Kate’s missing.

And Mom, this is exactly where you need to be. I mean, how could you just sit on the sidelines when Seth Burns fired you? Yeah. He’s such a little weasel. I mean, we are out there fighting for our lives, and that’s the time he decides to get rid of me. But don’t worry, we’re gonna march into his office and we’re gonna raise some hell.

And meanwhile, Papa, uncle Broman and Chad, they’re gonna find Kate wherever she is.

Hey Steve, where’s uh, where’s Roman? Well, he’s, uh, back at the hospital with Hope. They’re talking to Bo’s doctors about moving him into a long-term facility. No, damn that, that poor guys going through it. Brother. His wife’s missing. Yeah. Well, we need to lighten his load. Right? Come up with a plan to find and rescue gate.

So what’s that? As you know, breakfast, really, you expect me to eat that, so I don’t expect you to do anything but you want to die of starvation. That’s fine with me. The choice is yours.

Is there a problem, ej? Now, why would you think that? You know, I don’t have time for Briddle school. I’m gonna go inside. But do me a favor, try not to annoy our customers on their way in. I, I, I’m not so fast. You and I have a few things that we need to get straight.

What, what is wrong, Nicole? What’s happening? Oh, I felt a, a bad cramp and I, oh. Oh, it’s happening again, Gabby. I need help. Ah, God. Nice try, Nicole. Oh, what are you talking about, Gabby? Can’t you see him in pain? Mm. Actually what I can see is that Meryl Streep you ain’t, what the hell? I definitely don’t see any Oscars in your future because your performance right now totally fake.

Oh, come on.

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

I can’t think of anything you or I have to say to one another. I’m not sure Sloan and Peterson would agree. What you human. Wait a second. Are you talking about those lace biscuits? Sloan had nothing to do with, you know damn well it’s not those biscuits I’m concerned about. Goodbye, Jay. You have the temerity to stand here and pretend as though you don’t know why I’m calling you out.

Pretending. I have no idea what you’re talking about. I know Eric, you know what? That you had sex with Nicole. You’ve sank Pon son of a bitch.

Oh my God. I can’t believe you’re insulting me when I’m doubled over in pain. I didn’t insult you. I just said that you’re nom me street. That’s all. Oh God. That’s great, Debbie. Okay, now that that’s done, can you at least, oh, I don’t know, just help me before I pass out and die. You’re not gonna die. I’m glad you’re so sure.

Can we just drop this because I know what this is about. You want me to let my guard down so that I forget to send my evaluation of EJ to the Demer board, right? Is that what it’s, no, it’s not right. Ah, you want your snake of a boyfriend to remain in charge of Dera Enterprises valiant effort, but it’s not gonna happen.

Sister. I don’t care, Gabby, I need to get to the hospital now. Oh,

oh, oh. The look in his face. I’m never ever going to forget that. Ah, he did look pretty shocked. And all because of Wait, wait, wait, wait. How did you put it? Mr. Ferret? If you don’t reinstate Dr. Johnson immediately, I am going to unleash a viral PR campaign against you in this hospital from which you will never recover.

And I would’ve done it too. I mean, you come back from the dead and the guy decides to sell you out to the board. Well, Seth’s never been that loyal, and I talked to someone in the business affairs office and they said that he spent a friction on a head hunter trying to find my replacement. Seriously.

Mm-hmm. Talk about scummy. Remind me to never get on your bad side as if you ever could. Hmm. I bet he did not expect me to hop on a plane and come here and call him out. Especially with my shark PR daughter by my side no less. I’ll always have your back. Mom and I will always have yours. Ah, thank you. Well, I better go do the job that, uh, we both saved.

Ah, I’m so happy for you and I’m so proud of you. Ooh, ooh. Maybe you wanna go home and get some rest, huh? Oh, I will. I will. But first I have somebody finished business to tend to

whatever it takes to find Kate. I’m game well. That’s good. But, uh, buddy, I thought she’d be heading back to Salem with Stephanie and Kayla. You must be anxious to see your kids. Yeah. Yeah. I miss him like crazy. I’m not gonna leave her without Kate now. She’s like the closest thing I have to a mother. I know.

Well, hopefully we can bring her home safe to all the people who love her.

Is that Roman? He’s probably finished at the hospital.

Michaels.

What the hell are you doing here,

Steph? I didn’t know you were back from Greece. Yeah, we just got in a little while ago. Dr. Johnson. My god, I uh, I heard that you were alive, but to actually see you Yeah, it’s um, going to be back for sure. My dad’s gonna be really pumped that you’re back home. I hope he and Bonnie are doing well. They are, they’re fine.

And, um, I just wanna take a second to tell you how truly sorry I am. What, well, I don’t know if Stephanie told you or not, but, um, I was the reason why she wasn’t there for your last moments that I just thought, um, You know, it really doesn’t matter what I thought. I, uh, I did something really selfish and I’m gonna feel guilty, and I’m gonna feel terrible about it for the rest of my life.

Well, Stephanie told me what happened that day, how she missed the call about me and. How Ill I was, but it turned out that those were not my last moments that she missed. And now thank God I have time to share lots of moments with my family. But I, I, I appreciate your apology and, um, accept.

Is it all ready for come in,

answer my question. Why are you here? Agent Donovan sent me, he thought I could be, uh, of help with the search for Kay. Well, he thought wrong, we don’t want you here and we don’t need your help.

yeah. You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you? Yeah. Seeing a richer me kind of living like a peasant. Yes. I enjoy very much. Wow. For your information. I haven’t always been rich and I’ve worked my ass off for everything I’ve gotten. See, see, I’m sure you know I don’t have to explain myself to you, do I?

When you gonna let me off? The stupid shit? You has too many questions. That’s because I don’t get any answers. Let’s just say, how do I put, I don’t have the to give you answer. You can bring me to someone who does.

You should really be talking to Nicole about this. Yeah, while I’m talking to you right now when I want answers, ej, is this the part where you lie to my face, where you tell me that I’ve got it all? Ronco ahead. Eric Colo a liar. Is this where you got your information? I should have guessed Lisa girlfriend had the decency to tell me what was going on.

Sloan doesn’t know what she’s talking about. There’s nothing going on between me and Nicole. So you deny that you had sex with I’m not denying anything. Do you wanna know the truth? Alright, fine. Yeah, I did have sex with your girlfriend.

Ah, God, Gabby, if you don’t have the decency to take me to the hospital, I will call an ambulance myself. Ah, wait. Hold on Nicole. Come on. Are you really sick? Really? You’re sick? Yes. I am really, really sick. You Harless box. Ah, okay. Okay. I believe you. Come on, we gotta get the hospital. Oh.

So why haven’t I ever met your boss? Because my boss, he doesn’t want to meet with people. Could you at least give me a name? Finish your breakfast. Would you like me to bring you more fish to clean? No. I’ll pass. Are you looking at this? Looks good on me, eh? Ah, you’re set bastard. Hey, fair is fair. You got your phone call?

I got the ring, my phone call. All didn’t go through the deal is a deal, lady. You know, I still haven’t figured out if I’m going to keep it, so maybe give it to one of my girlfriends or maybe, oh, maybe I’ll cut that ring. Hey, y’all figure, so you’re the reinforcement. Andrew told us he was sending, I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Where is he? He got called when in another case. So you’re here in his stead. I don’t know why my nephew thought we’d ever accept help. From the likes of you, I know that I’m not your first choice. You’re not any choice because you’re the guy who knew Bo was alive and you kept it to yourself. I, Steve, it’s okay.

No, no, no. Just let him say his peace. It’s fine. And Kayla and I were locked up in that carry swine cellar. You didn’t lift a finger to help, right? I didn’t know you were down there. You knew we were missing. And you knew Bo had to be involved. But you didn’t care. Let’s forget about me and Kayla for now.

Let’s talk about hope, about how you didn’t tell her that the father of her children, the man she loved for her entire life was alive. Steve. No, no, no, no. Why don’t we just, no. Bottom line. If this jerk had come forward sooner, my best friend wouldn’t be lying in a coma right now.

Well, it looks like word of my triumphant return is spreading. I already have a patient and that patient is so lucky to have the best doctor on the planet. Oh, you’re a doll baby. I love you. I love you. Thank you again, Alex.

So, so it was good of you to apologize to my mom? Yeah. I don’t expect for it to make up for what I did, but it meant a lot that she forgave me.

So what are you doing here? Is everything okay? Yeah. Yeah, everything’s, everything’s fine. Just going to my appointment with Dr. Evans started therapy, decided to work on my issues. Oh, wow. That’s great. Big step. Yeah, it is.

Well, I should get going. I let a lot of work pile up while I was in Greece. I bet. See you around Alex.

Stephanie. Okay, wait a second.

Such bloody hypocrites. You Brady’s. Sneering at anyone who doesn’t share your middle class values. Your Catholic piety went all the way. You’re just as connell and corrupt as the rest of us. Yeah. Well, if you’d shut it for five minutes, just let me explain. Explain what you’ve already admitted that you slept with Nicole ej.

We were both highest kites after we ate those lace biscuits. We weren’t thinking clearly. We were out of our mind. You of all people should know what had happened to you, and we knew it was wrong as soon as it happened. If it was indeed a harmless drug-induced mistake, why did you keep it a secret to?

Because we knew you’d blow it out of proportion because you’re an insecure asshole.

Hello? Oh my God. Kayla, it’s, it’s you. Uh, yes. It’s Hello, Nicole. I I, I’m sorry if my eyes are bugging out. It, it’s, I mean, I heard you were alive, but to see you I know. It’s strange. I’ve been getting that a lot today. But listen, let’s, let’s talk about you. What’s, what’s going on? Yeah. Uh, well, I, I got these really bad.

Cramps earlier, and I don’t think it’s a bug because I’m not nauseous or anything and I’ve had food poisoning before several times and I don’t think it’s that. So you’re having cramps? Mm-hmm. Do you think they could be menstrual cramps? Oh God, no. I mean, I don’t really get cramps, you know, not like this anyway, but I am due to, to get my period.

Uh, and I have this app that turns my cycle, so we’ll see.

Well, that’s, that’s weird. What.

Hi. This is really strange because my, my ob gyn gave me a new birth control last year, and it’s been like clockwork ever since. Are you experiencing any undue stress? Oh, yeah, for like the last 25 years. I mean, something a little more recent. Uh, well do you, do you think helping EJ scheme against his brother Stephan and the woman he loves is stressful?

Probably more for them. Hmm.

I dunno about you, but is it, isn’t it really hot in here? Nope. I, I feel comfortable. Yeah. Well, not me. Oh my God, I think I’m starting to sweat, huh? Huh? What? Oh, well, uh, your period is late. You’re having cramps, hot flashes. Oh, God, no. No. I am not having hot flashes. And clearly the hospital has thermostat turned out too high.

Uh, well, you know, it’s the first week of May and heat is not on, so I, I think it is. You what? Well, what are you getting at? I think maybe you are entering into menopause.

Oh, I guess I had that coming and then some. You’re talking what happened? As I told you, Nicole and I were both loosing. When we slept together. You did something else to deserve to get punched. Well, I did circuit punch you a few weeks back. So I guess that makes us even, oh, oh, we are far from these. Really, you, uh, you want to keep this going?

In fact, I do. Really?

All right then. That first punch was for free. The second one’s gonna cost you.

You want to do this? Oh, I do. Oh, I really, really do. No, it turns out that the skills required, the sever our finger our fish had are similar.

What do you want? I want an audience with your boss.

I totally understand how you feel. That’s big of you. So I’ll go. Best of luck with the search. Wait, wait, wait. Just wait. No, no, no. Chad. Let him go. We can’t trust him and we don’t need him. What if we do, look, I understand you have your reservations, but what if he’s our best chance to find Kate? If it weren’t for him, me and Stephanie would be as good as dead.

Right now. Thomas Banks would’ve killed us. I think that we should reconsider with all due respect.

Now, before you go, I’d like to ask you something. And I know what it is. You’re wondering if my mom letting you off the hook about that phone call I never got. If that means I’ve done the same. Actually, no, it’s not what I wanted to ask you see, Steph, um, me pressuring you the minute you got back into town trying to guilt you into letting me off the hook as you put it.

That’s what the old Alex would’ve done. Oh, right. And the new Alex. The new Alex is learning that just because I have remorse for all of my actions, it doesn’t mean that the people I hurt need to forgive me. I see. So why did you stop me just now? Because I need your help.

You know, I don’t like to admit when I need help, but this is kind of a special case. What’s going on? My Aunt Maggie’s heading to Greece with my Uncle Vic to go be with Ball. Of course, God, they must be out of their minds with worry. Right? And while my aunt is gone, she left me in charge of this crucial deal for Titan that we have been working on for months.

Okay?

I’m a little anxious about it, Steph. I really can’t afford to screw this up. Like I really can’t. No, I understand. What’s this gotta do with me? How can I help? I have a meeting tomorrow to pitch all of our strategies to all the parties involved. Now, I have been cramming my brain for the data, Steph, but I would feel a lot more confident.

If I had a world class communications expert by my side,

listen Michaels. I am grateful to you for stopping that maniac from hurting my little girl. You, you don’t have to, but it wasn’t long ago that you were responsible for putting her life in danger. If you remember the exploding pizza box, I’m still haunted by what I did to your family and to John Black and his son.

Look, Steve, he wa he was under Megan’s control when he did those things. Like just like you and John were when she ordered you to hijack that dam, Margo on Hong Kong. We’ve both been there. I shot Brady and, and you guys almost hurt your wife’s trying to secure those prisms for Megan, but what about the things he’s done since then?

When he was in possession of his free will. You’re right, you’re right. I knew what I was doing when I, I didn’t tell hope the truth about Bo, and, and I can’t forgive myself for that. So is that why you’re here? To make amends? Andrew thought helping you find Kate, Mike, gimme a small chance at redemption, but I understand why.

You wouldn’t want my help?

Fuck, Steve. I’ll be honest. I I, I, I don’t care if the guy’s handle Hector. If it helps us find Kate. He’s a Navy Seal for God’s sakes, if Kate’s lost that sea, he’s gonna be our best hope to find her.

He’s right Steve. My, uh, my skills can be valuable. So what do you say?

He’s not gonna do thisk. You think I’m blessing? I’m not bluff. You don’t take me to your boss. I’m gonna cut off this finger and okay. Wait, wait, wait. My boss, he’s a very dangerous man. He does not want to be disturbed. Okay. Okay. Okay. I will beg you to him.

More lives and a litter of cats. Sharper claws too. Nicole. Nicole, are you in there? I saw your car in the garage. Hello, ej. Nicole. Nicole? Uh, no. Use yelling. You’re co-conspirators not here. What? Where’d you go?

Menopause. I mean, I’m, I’m not too young for menopause, right? Well, not necessarily. I mean, yes, you would be on the younger side. I mean, the media age is about 51, 52, but there are many women. It’s not uncommon to be in your forties to go through it. Right. Yeah. I, I guess I knew that. It’s just, it’s just what,

I guess I’m just. It’s not ready for it psychologically. I understand what, you know what, maybe these cramps have nothing to do with menopause, so what, maybe we could run some tests. May be okay with that. Yeah. Okay. Sure. I should be comfortable. I’ll get the nurse, we’ll draw some blood and we’ll look to the bottom of this, okay?

Okay.

Alex, if you are wanting me at this meeting, if it’s another one of your schemes to bring us closer together, it isn’t. Steph, I swear to you, it has nothing to do with. That. Look, Maggie and I have been butting heads like crazy, and sooner than later she’s gonna have enough of it. And I feel like this might be my last chance to prove myself to her.

Stephanie, I promise you my needing your help is totally legit. It is strictly business. Hey, I know you’re with Chad. I respect your relationship and your boundaries. Okay, so what exactly what’d you need from me? I would need you to attend this meeting with me tomorrow. Just like I said, just be by my side.

Keep me on track, make sure I hit all the talking points that Maggie already approved, and there’s nobody else for the job stuff. You’re the best. That’s it. And I truly think that my career at Titan depends on it.

Well, Titan is still one of my top clients. I mean, it would, if you close this deal, it would be a big win for SJ p r. It’s a big win. All right. I’ll help you, Stephanie. Oh my God, thank.

Thank you. You are the best. Did you see that? I’m learning step by step. Boundaries. I’ll see you tomorrow then. I will see you tomorrow and you’ll not regret it, I promise. Thank you.

Well, I guess we’re in no position to turn down help. Considering how shorthanded we are, does that mean I’m part of the team? That means you’re working with the team, okay. For now. Got it. But Michaels, I got my eye on you. Any funny business, any double dealing, and I swear I’ll take you down myself.

Nice place. Your boss has. Here.

Who are you son of?

Oh my God, it’s you.

Come on, go pick up.

Oh, uh, that was fast. Well odds that news,

Nicole, it’s me. Listen, call me as soon as you get this. CJ knows he’s on a war path.

Do you know where Nicole is? Hmm. Well, there are so many possibilities. She could be reminiscing about old times with my big brother rave, or she could be sharing hot steamy chowder with Eric Brady at the Brady Pub. I mean, she’s got so many exes, it’s hard to keep up. I’m glad you find this sort of funny.

Oh no, don’t bother calling her the way she’s feeling. I doubt she’ll pick up. What the hell are you talking about? Why wouldn’t she pick up? Well, she’s at the hospital. Poor thing,

Kayla. I mean, you’re making me nervous. Here. Say something. What is it? Well, you’re not going through menopause. Oh gosh. That’s a relief. I suppose, I mean, like I said, I wasn’t, I wasn’t ready for it and my gut told me that it wasn’t, and for some reason I was just like, no, I’m menopause. In no way. Right. Uh, no way.

Because you’re pregnant.

Jack: That’s right. I’m going to have to liquidate some capital. I need a cashier’s check today. I know it’s a lot of money, Frank. Good. Let me know when it’s ready. Thanks.

Ashley: Hey, what’s that about?

Jack: I am in no mood to discuss that with you. Frankly, I am not interested in sharing any of the details of my personal conversations with you.

Ashley: If you want privacy, Jack, go someplace else. This is a common room. You never know who’s gonna hear what around here.

Jack: Boy, and who do we have to thank for that? This latest stunt of yours is reprehensible. That you would choose this time for your dirty little trick. Throwing Tucker in all of our faces. This is a new low, even for you.

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

Victoria: Okay. I’m listening.

Nate: I want to confirm that we’re putting aside the personal, for now, and focusing strictly on the business side. At least until I can figure out where my head is at.

Victoria: Yes. Yeah, I think that’s a good plan.

Nate: Really?

Victoria: I’M… I’m on board. We’ll focus strictly on work for now. I can only imagine how conflicted you must be. And I just want you to take time before you figure out what comes next.

Elena: So, this is what traveling on a business trip alone looks like.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Summer: I’m not crazy, dani

Daniel: Mom’s alive? You actually talked to her? For real?

Summer: I’m not crazy, daniel. I saw her. She told me all about the plan that she had with stark and how it all went wrong and he attacked her and he had to defend herself, so she ended up stabbing him with the scissors.

Daniel: What scissors? What are you talking about?

Summer: It’s true. You can ask chance. Or no, don’t ask chance. But the police must know about it. And how would I know, if I hadn’t talked to our very alive mother?

Daniel: So you’re saying stark is dead because…

Summer: Mom killed him.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Oh, my god.

Summer: Look, I know. I know that you thought that I was crazy. You thought I was spinning out of control and I– I sounded crazy. I mean, I saw mom. For anybody else, that would be impossible. But for our mom, faking her own death to get revenge on diane? You could see it, can’t you?

Daniel: This wasn’t just a what if scenario you were painting?

Summer: No. She explained everything to me.

Daniel: Here. I mean, she was actually here?

Summer: She was. And you and me, we– we’ve got to figure out a way to deal with it, but daniel, the good part in all of this, I mean, the joy, the relief… our mom is alive.

Daniel: Where is she now?

Michael: Good afternoon!

Diane: Well, you seem like you’re in a good mood.

Michael: For good reason.

Diane: Well, I don’t know why. The one person who could clear my name turned up dead.

Michael: And you heard that from jack?

Diane: Oh, yes. He keeps coming to visit. I keep asking him to stop. It’s kind of our thing now.

Michael: Aw. Jack’s doing everything he can to help you, diane.

Diane: I know. I know. And to be honest, I’m kind of glad he’s ignoring my wishes. His and kyle’s caring concern is the only thing getting me through this nightmare. Although the stress is weighing on both of them.

Michael: Hm. Well, maybe I can relieve their burden a bit.

Diane: How?

Michael: I have some good news. By the end of the day, I hope to have you out of here.

Jack: That’s right. I’m going to have to liquidate some capital. I need a cashier’s check today. I know it’s a lot of money, frank. Good. Let me know when it’s ready. Thanks.

Ashley: Hey, what’s that about?

Jack: I am in no mood to discuss that with you. Frankly, I am not interested in sharing any of the details of my personal conversations with you.

Ashley: If you want privacy, jack, go someplace else. This is a common room. You never know who’s gonna hear what around here.

Jack: Boy, and who do we have to thank for that? This latest stunt of yours is reprehensible. That you would choose this time for your dirty little trick. Throwing tucker in all of our faces. This is a new low, even for you.

Tucker: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Tucker: The man I was looking for. Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Devon: Buy me a cup of coffee? What’s your agenda for wanting to do that?

Tucker: No, no, it’s just that the last time our paths crossed, things were kind of tense between us.

Devon: Yeah, a little bit.

Tucker: Yeah. Some things were said, I said some things. After you rejected my suggestion that you buy mccall and… well, let’s just say it didn’t end well, so I was hoping to buy a cup of coffee and maybe we could, uh, work through something.

Devon: I’m in the middle of my work day here.

Tucker: Yes. No, I understand. Uh, my whole day’s free, so if it’s okay, I can just wait for you.

Devon: No, no, no, no. I don’t want you to wait around for me. I honestly– I don’t feel like taking a break from work and getting coffee.

Tucker: Oh. Okay. Well, then I’ll just tell you what I was gonna tell you.

Devon: Sure.

Tucker: First, uh, I sold mccall to victor newman.

Devon: That’s great news. Everything worked out for the best. Does that mean you’re gonna leave town now or?

Tucker: No. No. On the contrary, I’m staying.

Devon: Oh?

Tucker: Yeah. And you and dominic are the reasons why.

[ Devon exhaling ]

Victoria: It’s a good thing that our dinner meeting got moved to breakfast tomorrow morning.

Nate: It gives us more time to double check the numbers and refine the pitch.

Victoria: By the way, this column demonstrating growth, is really what sells the whole concept. You really outdid yourself with this presentation, I have to say. You continue to impress. On every front.

[ Nate clearing his throat ] What are you thinking?

Nate: Uh, I have to admit, I’m pleased with the analysis. I feel positive about the meeting. We do make a good team. But, uh, there’s something I need to say.

Sometimes you feel like a nut.

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

-During an asthma attack,

Victoria: Okay. I’m listening.

Nate: I want to confirm that we’re putting aside the personal, for now, and focusing strictly on the business side. At least until I can figure out where my head is at.

Victoria: Yes. Yeah, I think that’s a good plan.

Nate: Really?

Victoria: I’M… I’m on board. We’ll focus strictly on work for now. I can only imagine how conflicted you must be. And I just want you to take time before you figure out what comes next.

Elena: So, this is what traveling on a business trip alone looks like.

Devon: I don’t really know how I fit into your plans since you’ve sold your company.

Tucker: Admittedly, uh, my first impulse was to hop on a plane and leave town and never look back, but I just… I can’t walk away without trying to repair our relationship. And I feel like, even if we can’t share the bond of running mccall together, maybe we can… create some new one.

Devon: You thought you’d start with coffee?

Tucker: Yeah. Oh, I also have a proposal for you.

Devon: Oh, do you?

Tucker: I do.

Devon: Here we go.

Tucker: So, I understand that the anniversary of neil’s death just passed and that abby’s helping you and lily host an event in his honor tonight?

Devon: That’s right. Yeah.

Tucker: Well… I owe neil so much for the love and support that he gave you. Because he raised you better than I ever could. So, what I would like to do is announce tonight, at the event, the coming of the neil winters international jazz festival, which I would produce. Can you think of a better tribute to him?

Diane: You’re getting me out of here? How? A jail break?

Michael: No, nothing so dramatic. I’m just gonna see to it that you are granted release on bail.

Diane: How is that even possible?

Michael: I appealed the no bail order. I thought the judge had a pattern of unjust arraignment decisions and so did the court of appeals. We were just granted a second arraignment, today, and I’m sure this judge, the new judge, judge betts, is gonna be far more understandable.

Diane: Judge betts? As in, all bets are off?

Michael: Ha ha. Ah. I brought you something to wear. Carefully curated from your closet by jack.

Diane: Jack knows about this?

Michael: Who do you think ordered me to find a way to get you out of here? Jack and kyle have been pressing me to do everything I can to help you. Not that I needed to be pressed, by the way.

Diane: I can’t believe this.

Michael: Given your history, your bail, it’s not gonna come cheap. But jack is out there arranging financing as we speak.

Diane: So, you’re saying that I might be able to walk out of here today?

Michael: This is happening. Okay? Now, go get dressed. Guard! Oh, and try not to look like a flight risk.

[ Michael chuckling ]

Summer: I don’t know where mom is. I– I don’t know how to find her. Maybe… maybe she’s still close, keeping an eye on us.

Daniel: Do you think she’d risk sticking around?

Summer: It’s not like anybody is looking for her. But you’re right. She could be long gone by now.

Daniel: I can’t believe that she’s just been letting us suffer like this. She’s been here the whole time just watching us and you’re okay with this?

Summer: No! I’m not okay with it. I– I feel every single thing that you’re feeling right now. I don’t know how to make sense of any of it, but I am just–

[ Summer sighing ] I’m just trying to focus on the fact that we have a chance to have our mom back.

Daniel: That’s good. That’s good. See, you might be able just to gloss over this, but I think I’m gonna need a minute with it.

[ Daniel exhaling ]

Summer: Daniel. She realized that it was a terrible and vicious idea, but… stark was the one that pushed her into it. He manipulated her emotions. He– he played up this idea that everyone had turned their backs on her. He– he forced her into going along with his plan for revenge against diane…

Daniel: He forced her? He forced her! He forced her, summer? She didn’t have to go along with it.

Summer: Look. She felt like everyone had abandoned her. She was hurt and she was frustrated and in a moment of weakness, she gave in. And then it all went wrong.

[ Daniel scoffing ]

Daniel: Yeah, I would say that it definitely went wrong, summer. Are you kidding me?

Summer: She regretted it. She regretted it immediately and she wanted to come back to us, but when stark got wind of that, he wouldn’t have any of it and he attacked her and that’s when she had to defend herself and… she killed him and now she’s on the run.

Daniel: You gotta be kidding me. This is a nightmare.

Summer: Mom feels trapped. She feels like there’s no way out of this.

Daniel: Well, there might not be.

Summer: Daniel. We need to face the fact that our mom is far from innocent. I mean, she wanted revenge on diane in a big way. Diane stole the life that she wanted to have with jack and– and she was fighting with us and…

Daniel: With us? Are you blaming us for what she did, now?

Summer: We both said that we felt terrible about the way that we treated her, that shouldn’t change now.

Daniel: She can’t just live her life on the run, summer. She’s got no id, she’s got no money. How would she survive?

Summer: I’m sure that stark took care of all of that. She probably has everything she needs to start a new life.

Daniel: Oh, good. Good. And you’re okay with this? You’re okay with her just disappearing, just like that. No consequences. You’re fine with this? When you have chronic kidney disease.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Summer: I am not happy about what mom did. She asked me to keep this secret, but I couldn’t keep it from you. We were both suffering so much and that’s why I tested the waters with that little “what if” scenario just to see how you might react.

Daniel: But then I pointed out that there were no easy solutions to your little “what if” scenario.

Summer: If mom is found alive, then everything that she did to diane is gonna come out and she could go to prison for that.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Well, if they can’t prove that it was self-defense when she killed stark, then…

Summer: She could be locked up for the rest of her life. And we will lose her all over again. Daniel, we can’t let that happen.

Ashley: Here’s the thing, jack. You didn’t care at all how any of us felt when you moved diane in here. So get over yourself. You’ll just have to learn to tolerate tucker the same way you demanded I learn to tolerate diane.

Jack: I cannot believe you have fallen for that scoundrel again.

Ashley: Scoundrel. What a great word. For your information, I’m in complete control of my actions and my feelings, unlike you. And honestly, having tucker here, how does it really affect you?

Jack: How does it–

Ashley: Yeah.

Jack: He’s under my roof!

Ashley: I forgot this is your house and we’re all just visiting. I wonder how our father would feel about that.

Jack: Tensions are high enough without you adding to them.

Ashley: Why do we have tension in this house? Could it be because of your fiance? Who’s charged with murdering summer’s mother? I don’t know.

Jack: Falsely charged. And diane has triple reason for being here. She is my fiance, she’s kyle’s mother, she’s harrison’s grandmother. She is family, ash, whether you like it or not. Whereas tucker is a veritable stranger. To summer and kyle and harrison. And by the way, how are you going to present tucker to harrison? What– what– what’s he supposed to call him?

Ashley: Aunt ashley’s friend?

Jack: And what’s gonna happen when diane and tucker are under the same roof? Have you thought about that?

Ashley: I have. But you know, diane’s in jail. We don’t know when or if she’s even going to get out.

Jack: Think again. If michael is correct and I suspect he is, diane could be home as soon as today.

Tucker: Yeah, man. Picture it. We kick it off here in genoa city at the neil winters jazz lounge, with the top jazz acts in the world and then we launch a tour of the hottest venues in the world. Go from there.

Devon: Okay. Well, it’s a whole lot to consider within hours, you know. I’m not gonna make a decision about something that big before the party. And the whole point of this evening was just to have close friends and family get together and share memories and listen to music. It’s not meant to be about anything else. No announcements for festivals. And even if it were, it wouldn’t be your announcement to make.

Victoria: Elena, um, this is a surprise. Are you hungry? We haven’t ordered yet. We’re just running a little bit behind–

Elena: Victoria, shut up. I don’t want to hear any more lies or excuses. This is between nate and me. Unless you’re relying on victoria to fight your battles for you. Along with whatever else you’re relying on her for.

Nate: Excuse us, victoria. Would you mind if I spoke to elena alone?

Victoria: Of course, of course. I’ll give you some space.

Nate: What are you doing here? Did you just decide to–

Elena: No. You do not get to question me as if I did something wrong. And please do not let the next words that come out of your mouth be something that makes me disrespect you even more than I disrespect you now. I want you to look me in the eyes and tell me the truth. What is going on between you two?

[ Nate clearing his throat ]

Nate: Victoria and I slept together.

[ Elena gasping ] “Look at this skin, baby.

Elena: I believed in you, I trusted you, I supported you and this is how you repay me?

Nate: Elena, listen.

Elena: No, you listen, nate. You’re pathetic. Sneaking around, acting like you’re on a business trip.

Nate: This is business. I didn’t come here with the intention of sleeping with victoria–

Elena: But you did sleep with victoria. And you did lie. You told me that you were coming here alone.

Nate: I didn’t know how to–

Elena: Do not insult my intelligence, nate. Don’t act like this all just happened out of the blue. I have been suspecting this since the beginning. And when I confronted you about it, you lied to me.

Nate: You’ve got this all wrong.

Elena: Do I really? You told me I was being paranoid. Do you really think so little of me? Honestly, maybe you should. Because up until the moment that I walked into this restaurant, I’ve been a complete fool. I actually held on to hope… that there was some type of misunderstanding. That I was just mistaken somehow, but no, my instincts were right all along.

Nate: Elena, please. I never meant to hurt–

Elena: No, it doesn’t matter what you meant to do, nate. It matters what you actually did. And I cannot believe you’re still trying to gaslight me into believing that I’m wrong and that I’m blowing this out of proportion.

Nate: That is not what I am saying.

[ Elena sighing ]

Elena: You know, you spent a lot of time trying to rekindle our relationship. Impromptu dates. Afternoon lovemaking. Dream vacations. For the two of us. So tell me, was all of that just to overcompensate for your guilt? Come on, nate! Be honest. I want to know how long this has been going on because I finally want to know how much of a liar and a cheater you are.

Tucker: I hear what you’re saying. Back off, right? I was maybe a little over eager. Forgive me.

Devon: No, you don’t– you don’t need to apologize. It was a fine idea. It’s just bad timing.

Tucker: Right. Well, it’s just one idea. I’ve got lots of time to come up with others. Starting to put down roots here actually.

Devon: Really?

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: How so?

Tucker: Well, ashley’s finally starting to forgive me. In fact, she’s asked me to move in with her.

Ashley: I see. So, that’s why you were arranging a cashier’s check. Bail money. You’re crazy if you think she’s gonna be out any time soon. She’s a flight risk and there’s no court on the planet that’s gonna let her loose.

Jack: Michael feels he has just cause to have her bail reconsidered.

Ashley: He really thinks he can pull this off?

Jack: Oh, he’s the best at what he does and his client is innocent. So, yes, I think justice will prevail and diane will be brought home where she belongs.

Ashley: This isn’t her home and she doesn’t belong here. Period.

[ Jack inhaling ]

Summer: I know that this is hard to process. I mean, I think about it all night instead of sleeping and it still never makes any sense.

[ Daniel chuckling ]

Daniel: Yeah, mom, she could have come to the both of us. Why’d she put this all on you?

Summer: Even if we knew her reasons, do you think that they’d make any more sense than the rest of this? Daniel, I’m begging you, don’t say anything about this to anyone.

[ Daniel scoffing ] Who am I gonna tell, summer? And who would believe me anyway?

Summer: I tried to get information out of chance. Thought maybe he could give me something that would help me to see a way to get mom out of this.

Daniel: And?

Summer: Seemed like he was getting suspicious, so I backed off. We’ve got to do everything that we can to protect her until we figure this out.

Daniel: And what if we can’t?

Summer: Maybe it’S… best that we just let her disappear. Start a new life without us.

[ Daniel sighing ]

Daniel: And you’re okay with that, hm?

Summer: It would kill me. I would hate it. But if it meant that she was free instead of spending the rest of her life in prison, then yeah. I would do anything to keep her safe. Wouldn’t you?

Daniel: What about diane, summer? Hm? You willing to let her take the fall for a murder that doesn’t exist? You willing to just sit back, watch her get tried, watch her get convicted. You can live with that? Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Buzz) morning!

Nate: I had no intention of this happening. You know how much I care about you. Nothing I did was false or out of guilt. I love you. I wanted to be the man that you loved. I honestly tried to fight this.

Elena: But what? You just couldn’t, could you? You were just too mesmerized by the charms of victoria newman to stop yourself?

Nate: It is not like that.

Elena: You know, when your and devon’s relationship blew up, after you tried to sabotage your family, they all accused you of changing. They said that you were ruthless and selfish and I defended you. I tried to encourage you to take the higher path and to fix things with your family because deep down, I thought the man that I was in love with still existed.

Nate: I am still that man.

Elena: You can’t possibly believe that. Look at yourself, nate. You have changed. And not for the good. Unless… this is who you’ve always been. Selfish and ambitious. Either way, you can go straight to hell. Or you can go back upstairs to your hotel room with your boss. It’s over.

Devon: Wow.

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: All right. That’s some big news. Uh, does abby know that you’ve moved into the abbott house?

Tucker: That I don’t know.

Devon: Uh. Yeah, I don’t think she realizes how serious things have gotten between you and her mom.

Tucker: Ah, things haven’t gotten all that serious. Ashley has me on this… double secret probation. But I thought, you know, the fact that she’s given me a shot, maybe you’ll be more inclined to do the same.

Devon: I mean, we’re two different people with two very different relationships with you. So just because she’s coming around to trusting you doesn’t mean I’m automatically gonna do the same thing, you know that.

Tucker: Yeah. Uh… okay. Heh. I don’t know. I wish I could be there tonight, but I understand why I can’t be. I will raise a glass to neil and thank him for everything that he did for you that I couldn’T. Hope it goes well.

Devon: Hang on a second. Um, I understand that your idea for this festival is just, it’s your way of trying to build a bridge between us and I appreciate you doing it. So, if you would like to be there tonight, I’m more than happy to invite you.

Tucker: I would love to be there.

Devon: All right.

Tucker: I’d be honored to be there. Thank you.

Devon: Yeah.

Jack: Yeah, I thought I’d have heard by now myself, kyle. Um, you know, maybe that’s a good thing. It’s a lot of paperwork when someone’s being released. If she was denied bail, she’d be back in her cell now. Yeah, I promise I will call as soon as I hear anything. The judge denied bail.

[ Laughing ]

Diane: Mm.

Summer: Wait a second. Are you kidding me right now? Diane is far from innocent in all of this. Are you forgetting the fact that she abandoned kyle as a kid? And when she finally came back, it was one secret, one lie after another and she’s been going after jack the entire time, denying it every step of the way. She is the one that brought stark here. She brought all of this on herself. She brought it onto all of us too!

Daniel: Diane might not be innocent in general, summer, but she’s not guilty of murder.

Summer: Maybe this is karmic justice coming back to bite her. I mean, would it– would it really be that bad to get a little break from diane? I mean, even just for a little while, while we try to figure out a way to bring our mom back home safely.

Daniel: Listen to yourself. You hear yourself talking right now? Because you sound just like mom. Did you forget that diane is your husband’s mother? That– that it’s harrison’s grandmother? I mean, how are you gonna look kyle in the face every single day knowing the truth. Knowing that his innocent mother is locked up behind bars somewhere? Our mother did the same damn thing! Our mother faked her own death just like diane. She really any better than her? Up at 2:00am again?

Michael: I don’t know if you’re going for some world record hug, but I think you should know that, uh, all this time is billable.

Jack: Worth every penny, michael, you had a plan, you made it work. I am beyond grateful.

Michael: I don’t think I had any choice. As I recall, you ordered me to make it happen.

Diane: And you did, because you’re brilliant and I’m sorry if I gave you a hard time.

Michael: You were under a great deal of stress. Look, dealing with frustrated clients is part of the job.

Diane: You should have seen him, jack. Michael’s argument was so eloquent and impassioned and by the time he was done, the judge couldn’t help but release me.

Michael: Well, when you know in your heart what you’re doing is right, it’s easy. But thank god for judge betts. He got on board and here we are.

Jack: You are to be commended, counselor.

Michael: Now wait. Hold. There was a moment– there was a moment that I thought betts was going to deny us and all I could hear in my head, jack, was your voice saying “make it happen.” So, I suggested some more terms to diane’s release, and bam, he went for it.

Jack: More terms?

Diane: I’m under house arrest, which means I have to wear an ankle monitor. Just– just throughout the trial. And for now, the price of my freedom was that and handing over my passport.

Michael: And of course, the significant bail amount?

Diane: Yes, thank you. I am so grateful for that. Hey, why do you look so relieved? Weren’t you confident about the outcome?

Jack: I was worried. In case you hadn’t noticed, good luck has not been on our side.

Diane: Hm.

Victoria: So, what happened?

Nate: Nothing good.

Victoria: I guess you didn’t tell her beforehand that I was going to be joining you in L.A.

Nate: I knew it would cause a big argument, so I just avoided it.

Victoria: Maybe it’s because I’m not the only one that was hoping that something might happen between us here.

Nate: I didn’t come on this trip with that intention. I would never purposely deceive elena. That is not who I am.

Victoria: I’m not saying that you did anything consciously. Maybe there’s another possibility.

Nate: What’s that?

Victoria: Maybe subconsciously you were– you were hoping that you would get caught. You know, it’s just a way to force the issue and try to end your relationship with her.

Nate: And let elena find out like that?

[ Nate scoffing ] Makes me sound like a hell of a coward. Saving myself some awkwardness to cause her terrible pain?

Victoria: Okay. One thing is obvious. Your actions show that maybe you weren’t truly as happy in this relationship as you tried to tell yourself and everyone else.

Tucker: Hey.

[ Ashley groans ] Uh oh, what did jack do now?

Ashley: It’s just so absurd.

Tucker: Really?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Did he try to convince you to kick me out?

Ashley: No, he wishes, but no. He’s trying to break diane out of jail apparently.

Tucker: That’s great. Really? A jail break? That’s exciting.

Ashley: No. Not really. No, he’s trying to bail her out of jail actually.

Tucker: Oh, that’s less exciting. Although it might be fun to bump into diane over a morning coffee.

Ashley: Please just stop. That is the stuff of nightmares. How was your day?

Tucker: Uh, I just came from seeing devon.

Ashley: Oh, that’s good news.

Tucker: Yeah. Except that… I let the cat out of the bag.

Ashley: What cat.

Tucker: I may have let slip that I’ve moved in with you.

Ashley: Oh!

Tucker: So you might want to let abby know before she hears it from him.

Ashley: I did not want her to hear that from anybody. But I mean, why did you do that?

Tucker: I’m sorry. I– I regretted it as it was coming out of my mouth. But, this is exactly why you asked me to move in with you in the first place.

Ashley: Oh, really?

Tucker: Yeah. Just… to figure out us. If we belong together. Right?

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: Under all circumstances, cohabitating with jack and diane and dealing with my big mouth, with my son who is living with your daughter. See how it is. This is, uh, this is us.

Ashley: This is fun.

Tucker: This is glorious, complicated us.

Victoria: Hey, what happened to your plan to compartmentalize business and personal? You think you can still do that?

Nate: Hm. Given my private life just exploded? I’m not sure I can.

Victoria: I understand. You know, there’s a huge difference between compartmentalizing and ignoring though. I’m so sorry about what happened today. I really am. I certainly didn’t mean to deceive or hurt elena either. If you need some time to step away and process everything that happened…

[ Nate chuckling ]

[ Nate sighing ]

Nate: Yeah. I need to take some time.

Ashley: So, any luck with that big mysterious plan of yours?

Tucker: I had this fantastic idea. I thought it was fantastic. Uh, of the neil winters international jazz festival.

Ashley: I love that idea.

Tucker: I know, I do too. And I was hoping to announce it at the tribute tonight.

Ashley: How did devon respond–

Tucker: Shut it down.

Ashley: Oh. Are you okay? How do you keep handling all this rejection from him?

Tucker: Well, it wasn’t a total bust. He did appreciate the gesture and he invited me to the event tonight. Which reminds me, would you happen to be in need of a date?

Ashley: Uh, yeah.

Tucker: I gotta come up with something to show devon that my intentions are genuine and I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I’ve got limited time to come up with it.

Jack: You have no idea how grateful I am to have you home. Harrison is going to be thrilled. He asked about you every single day.

Diane: Oh, no. How will we explain where I’ve been?

Jack: Oh, easy, we told him you were on a trip. You can just say you came back early.

Diane: Oh, that’s good. I can’t wait to see his little face.

Jack: I’ve already texted kyle with the good news. He’s on his way. He wasn’t able to reach summer yet.

Diane: Well, I have a feeling summer won’t be as excited to see me as you and kyle.

Jack: Well, we don’t know that.

Diane: I do. And I can hardly blame her. I mean, I’m out here walking around and her mother’s gone. You know, maybe I should be staying somewhere else.

Jack: No, no, no. House arrest means this house. Here with me. I am not letting you out of my sight.

Diane: Oh, jack.

Jack: No, I mean it. I am more determined than ever to marry you as soon as possible. If I’ve learned nothing else from all of this, I never want to lose you.

Diane: Aw.

Summer: Obviously, we can’t let diane be punished for something that never happened. All I’m saying is that we need to clear our mom before we clear diane.

Daniel: I don’t know, summer. I think that the only way out of this is to go to the police and tell them the truth. We can go to chance. We told him what happened. He’ll– he’ll help us. We can’t do this on our own.

Summer: Daniel! Wait. Slow down. Sure, chance is understanding, but there’s gotta be another way.

Daniel: I am worried about mom and diane. Trust me. Honesty is the only way that’s gonna fix the situation. Mom comes home, she will be dealt with in the most fair and supportive way possible. I’m going to the police.

Summer: No.

Daniel: Summer! We are accessories to a crime now.

Summer: No, we can’t do that. We need more time. We can’t go to the police, when we don’t have a solution. That would put mom in prison for the rest of her life. Daniel, I promised her that i wouldn’t tell anyone, especially the cops.

Daniel: You told me!

Summer: Because I couldn’t hold it in any longer. I needed someone that I could trust. I needed an ally that would understand. Don’t tell me that I made a mistake. Please tell me that you are that person. Daniel, wait! Are you that person? Are you?

Daniel: I don’t know.
