THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Why aren’t you at the office? Good morning to you too. Good morning. And I repeat, why aren’t you at work? Aunt Maggie banished me from the office.

She thinks this would be a distraction at client meetings. So she told me to stay home until it healed. Oh, right. So it’s a image issue and it has nothing to do with the fact that you went behind her back to Victor. Okay. So you do know about that. Haven’t you been on this family long enough to know that that is a stupid thing to.

Although I sugar coated and it was also,

what’s the word I’m looking for? A really crappy thing to do.

What’s this? I begged you some lemon bars. What did I do to deserve it? Oh, I wanted to thank you for the profile of me that you ran. In the spectator, you mean the glowing profile. I didn’t recognize that woman. But I did impress some of our investors. I just printed the truth that you’re a brilliant picture on the family business and an idiot couldn’t see that.

And yes, that was a digger. Alex, speaking of Alex, I understand that you’re responsible for his black eye, and we did have a little disagreement. Mm-hmm. I wanna know what the disagreement was about.

For God’s sake. Ah. Oh, what’s going on? What happened? You overslept. I woke you. Ah. That is a lousy reason. Who’s having a dream? Harry Styles was spitting on me. It’s just getting to the good part. What? You are demented. You should watch what you say to me. This is the first time in ages I’ve been able to sleep in my own bed.

You owe me. You know what? You are right. I’m sorry. Oh, you don’t have to apologize. If it were me, I’d be hitting Alex Kiya as 24 7 2. Which does beg the question. Why were you flying solo last night?

Oh, Rachel. Sweet, sweet little girl. You have no idea how much I miss you. Damira, you’ve got a visitor. I wasn’t expecting anyone, neither were we.

Hi Molly.

I am off the hook. Leo got his merchandise. Now I’m saved from that gossip call. Ah, Chloe. I’m afraid no one is safe from the lady. What is that supposed to mean? I just turned in this new column. Chloe Lane. Brady Black’s daughter is a deranged monster like her mother. Oh my God, that double crossing. Snake Brady.

Hey. Hey. Is that the Spectator? Yeah. Yeah. I was just reading the latest, uh, column from, uh, lady Whistleblower. I can’t believe Leo. Would print this crap. Brady, I am so sorry. Please don’t hate me. I can explain.

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

Oh, oh. I,

I just can’t believe that you’re here. Daddy said he was gonna bring you here, but I didn’t know it was gonna be so soon. Where’s your daddy? He’s not here.

Does he know that you are? No, he doesn’t.

Okay.

I am so sorry. Why, why Leo’s the one spreading these rumors about my grandfather. I mean, he, he said, he said, uh, yeah, he’s going senile you, you, you had nothing to do with this. Was that all that he wrote? Uh, uh, no, there’s something else about Alex being in a fistfight and, uh, Stephan Damara and Melinda Trask, uh, being spotted together outside the Salem in, oh, can I, can I see it?

Yeah. Are you expecting something else or no? Uh, ah, then what, Chloe, why did you say, Brady? Please, please don’t, don’t hate me. Well, I ran into Leo yesterday and he asked why you and I weren’t together and I didn’t give him any details or anything, but then he said he was gonna write about it. Okay. That looks like he changed his mind.

Yeah, I guess so.

So what’s the deal? Why didn’t Alex sleep over last night? I told you I was busy working. Plus, it’s not like we’re a couple or anything. And still you don’t wanna lose momentum. What do you mean by momentum? Well, I assume you took my advice and started using Alex to makeand. Jealous. Golly. If the plan works, maybe Zander will even ask me to the hop scoff, if you must.

But the plan is already working. I heard he and Alex got into a fight. He was defending, my honor, I don’t know how it started, but it ended with Xander giving Alex one hell of a black eye.

If you want that bruise to go away quickly, you need to keep it iced. There you go. You know that from experience. Yes. I’m patching you up over the years. Ah, well I do have that kind of face, guys wanna punch it, but I punch. Does Xander look as bad as you do that? Come on, the guy had an unfair advantage.

Think about it. How long has that Neanderthal been like a, a professional muscle and yet somehow I suspect that this fight was personal? I guess so. Alex, that was my discreet way of asking you. What were you two fighting about? He doesn’t like it. That I’m sleeping with Gwen. You are sleeping with Gwen wrist check.

Yep. Voluntarily. She’s a beautiful woman dad, and she’s smart in that accent. Are you kidding me? Come on. Maybe Zander wasn’t mad at you, Alex. Maybe he was just trying to knock some scents into that thick skull of yours.

I, uh, I thought I was alone. Um, obviously. Uh, so, uh, what are you, what are you doing here? Why, why aren’t you at work? I had some, uh, use it or lose it vacation days, so I decided to take today off. Sorry, I interrupted your, Underwear dance party. Yeah. Uh, there’s some very interesting moves there. Yes, I know.

I’m a, I’m a pretty terrible dancer. Allie and Chanel both tried to teach me, but, uh, I still suck. I don’t know. You were a pretty good slow dancer in Hong Kong.

Anyone can do that. But anyway, I should probably clean this mess up. Oh yeah. I’ll, I’ll help. Yeah. I’m sorry, I was gonna grab the broom. Yeah, I was gonna get the dust pan.

I guess I’ll get the door instead. That’s probably a good idea. Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, sorry I didn’t call first. I hope I’m not interrupting anything.

Alex is sleeping with Gwen. Good heavens. Has he forgotten what she did to Sarah and let alone to Abigail, to Laura, to Jennifer, to Jack, to all the children. Maggie, I don’t think Alex was looking for a soulmate, you know? Right. What is it about her that make men so stupid? Oh, okay. Sorry. It’s fine, Maggie. I, I know how you feel about her and God knows she brought it on herself.

But look how, how you think this song, you’ll think this is stupid as well, but I just, I know Alex is gonna hurt her. Gwen’s not as tough as she likes to. Oh, so you looking out for the little lady? Oh, Xander. Men don’t punch other men to make a difference in the world. Men punch men because they’re jealous.

Okay. Yes, Alex and Zander, they got into a fight, but it’s not because Zander was jealous. He was just being a wanker about me sleeping with. Being a wanka because your ex is sleeping with somebody else defines jealousy and don’t tell Leo Stark, AKA Mattie who knows all and sees all that you are not screwing Alex to screw with Sander.

You like getting under his skin. Okay, maybe a little bit, but are not proud of it. You should be screwing with people is your best event. I shouldn’t have woken you. I should have just put a pillow over your. Would you need me? I’m the only one who can explain you to you. I don’t need you to explain me to me.

I am fully aware that I still have feelings for Sandra, but they’re not strong enough to play second fiddle to that sainted. Sarah Horton the healer. As long as he still thinks that the sun rises and sets out of a skinny ass, I, I don’t want him back. Of course you don’t, but he made you feel like dirt. So turn about his fair.

There’s nothing wrong with making him suffer a little. And like I said, you’re so good at it. So from what I understand, I, uh, I owe you an apology for what? I went to see Kristen yesterday and she told me that she called you. Yeah, she did. What did she say about it? She said that she had made some digs about you and your breakup with s Stephan, Chloe.

I’m sorry about that. You shouldn’t have to deal with that. No, it’s okay. I really shouldn’t let her get under my skin like that. Yeah, she, she, she does everything she possibly can to make your life miserable. I hate that, but I may have found a way to neutralize. At least swear Rachel’s concerned. And what’s that?

I made Kristen write a letter to Rachel saying that she needed to accept our relationship. And how in God’s name did you manage that? I played a little dirty, but Kristen wrote the letter and I gave it to Rachel last night. And how did she react? She didn’t say much, but you and I both know Kristen has some serious sway with Rachel.

Sweetheart, you used daddy’s phone and took an Uber here by yourself. Honey, that’s dangerous. But it wasn’t mommy. The driver was really nice. Okay. Okay. Uh, So you got here. How did you get in to see me? Didn’t the guards like stop you? They tried, but then I fake cried.

You told them that you had to see your mommy, huh? Yeah. They really are my daughter.

Why did you go to all this? Hmm. I mean, is is something wrong? Nothing.

Is this?

Hey, trip. How’s it hanging? Uh, good, thanks. Um, excuse me, I’m gonna go dress. Oh, don’t bother on Mike. Count.

I can tell you have questions. Um, yeah. Yeah. Like, um, does Tripp usually like to parade around the apartment in his underwear? He was home alone. Hmm. He was pretty startled when he saw me, and that’s why there’s cereal all over the floor. Got it. Now I have a question for you. What are you doing here? Uh, well I called you at the office, but they said you took the day off, so I thought maybe we could hang out.

That is, if you’re willing to forgive me.

Look, I know Gwen has done some messed up things. Aiding and abetting. A kidnapper is a little more than messed up. She didn’t aid and a bet, she just kept her mouth. How about sending Abigail and Sarah to the bin? What’s that? A lapse in judgment.

I don’t mean to shock you right now, dad. I really don’t. But it’s not Gwen’s character that I’m interested in. We’re using each other. Oh, is that what you young kids call it these days? I mean, she’s helping me get over Stephanie. I’m helping her get over Xander and full the life of me. I can’t understand why she’s hung up on the guy.

I mean, it’s a total douche bag. I’m not no jealous. Right. And punching Gwen’s new Paramore is just a what? A fit of peak. Fine. Maybe I’m just a little bit jealous. I don’t have any right to be, not since I told Gwen that I’m, you told Gwen what? I’m not over Sarah. Oh, I think about Sarah all the time. Maggie, have you, have you heard from you?

She loves her new job at the hospital and her and Rex, they’re, they’re dating there. Sander. Sorry, I didn’t mean to pry. Well, without getting into details, she’s, she’s moved on. She has new life in Chicago. She’s not looking back. I don’t think you should look back either. Surely there must be someone out there for you.

Well, I do know there’s great looking redhead, but unfortunately she’s married

to a man that you don’t wanna mess.

I know it hurt to lose Sarah, but you need to follow her lead. You need to move on. You need to let Gwen move on. Hopefully Antarctica.

That’s funny. What is, when I run a story about Chloe calling Brady’s daughter a deranged monster, I expect more than one comment, and it’s about a split infinitive, whatever the hell that is. Wait a minute, not now. All the stuff about Chloe was completely cut from my column. Did you forget to put it in? Of course not.

It was my late story. What the hell happened?

You really think it’ll work, Kristen? Writing? Rachel that letter? I really do. I don’t think it’s gonna be that long before you and Rachel the best of friends,

and maybe you and I could finally just be together again. I have missed you so damn much I’ve missed you. Then let’s get started on this. I’ll, I’ll pick Rachel up from school and then. The three of us, we will hang out. We’ll have a great time and be fun. Please say yes. Okay? Yes, I am game if you, terrific.

All right, I have to go do some work, but um, we’ll call you later.

Bye.

Sweetheart, this letter, I wrote it myself, so you’re really okay with daddy. Being with Chloe,

fucking withhold much more than just, uh, dry from here. What is that supposed to mean? You know exactly what it means. All right. I want you to think of this as just a simple of what you could lose. You are gonna write a letter to Rachel telling her that you no longer harbor any animosity towards Chloe, and that you are fine with Daddy and Chloe being together.

Okay? If you don’t, you are not gonna see Rachel ever. Honey, it’s, it’s complicated. You know what? You are a big girl now, and I think you deserve to know the truth.

Look, I know I really screwed up okay. When I swiped trip’s hospital card, but I tried to make things right. Oh, I know you did.

So does that mean you’re willing to give me another. Chance,

you know it’s hard to stay mad at you when you gimme that set. Good. I’ve been practicing that thing all morning. Oh, please. You’ve had that look down pat since you were four years old. Ah, I still have to practice every day. I don’t wanna get complacent.

So do you have a mind for it today? Well, I thought we could stream some won car y movies. And then orders some moose. You poor? No. Oh, no, no, no. I I, I didn’t choose him cuz he is Chinese. I, I, I chose him because he, he’s a great filmmaker. Okay. He is. Yeah. Thought we could start with, uh, in the mood for love.

Real start.

Hey, trip. You wanna join us for a movie? Uh, no, no, thank you. I’m, I’m gonna go for front, but have fun. We,

I can see how it could be hard to get over Stephanie. You could say that nice, good-hearted, grounded woman like Stephanie. Here he comes. I just wonder, wouldn’t it be perhaps more effective to try and get over her with someone who’s vaguely like her and not an unhinged sociopath? Am I messing things up?

Dad? It’s really hard to tell what you. I’m just thinking out loud. Okay, well, let me think out loud. Say I do meet somebody vaguely like Stephanie, I might fall in love again. That can’t happen because falling in love sucks. And yet there are so many songs that disagree with you. Oh, there’s so much sentimental propaganda.

Sex works best when it’s. How about that song? Okay, well maybe someday when you grow up you’ll think differently about it. How about we continue this conversation then? You know, I don’t mean to pry. Nah, you never do. But does Gwen know that she is, uh, only a relief player? I wouldn’t put it that way, but I assume she.

Well, I would feel a whole lot better if you nailed that down because when it comes to a woman scorned, Gwen could give the, uh, Bors gals a run for their money.

Thanks for checking, Linda. Well, did you find out what happened to my story? Was there some kind of mix up? No, it was cut on purpose. Who the hell did that?

Sander. Hey, I’m glad I ran into you. It’s not something I hear too often. Usually people see me and then turn and run the other way. Can hurt my feelings ly. Well. Have you ever tried not being an obnoxious jerk? Well, this is a concern, isn’t it? Uh, I, I’m sorry, but you did abandon me in Mexico with a psychotic drug, Lord, so it’s kind of hard not to hold a grudge.

Fair enough. But, uh, begs a question. Why are you glad to see me? I wanted to ask you about Leo’s column. When I saw Brady this morning, I thought for sure he’d wanna kill me after what I’d said about Rachel. But that didn’t end up in the story. Do you know what happened to it? I cut it. Zander. Why would Zander cut my column?

I dunno. Linda said that Zander just told her to take a cut from your draft, but it was the best part. Not to mention, it totally undermines all the work I did to double cross. Chloe. What do you mean? I asked her to get me free clothes from basic black’s latest men’s line, and then I said I wouldn’t print it.

I got one of everything in a medium. But I was gonna print it anyway. Now Chloe’s gonna think I held up my end of the bargain. Think about what that is gonna do to my reputation. Oh my darling, Massie cakes. You could donate a win to the hospital and everyone will still think you are vile, reprehensible, and completely untrustworthy.

Oh, I’m just trying to make me feel better. Mm. But Xander took all the fun out of it. Where are you going? I’m going to give that sneak a piece of my mind. Careful, there’s not much of that left.

Anyway, I should probably clean this mess up. I’ll help. I was gonna get the broom. I was the,

I am sorry. I’m not

right. Love monster. The granola not gonna happen though.

Okay. That. Was amazing. I mean the love of lighting, the angles, it was perfect. And the way that Maggie Chung and Tony Leon shared that fleeting glance of the Noodle Shop so romantic, would you say that it, um, has you in the mood for love? Yes. A sure I am not. No, I am. I am. I am suave. Okay. I am sophisticated.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Don’t, I’m sophistication. No, don’t get offended. I like that about you. The dorkiness. I mean, the way you can make me laugh even with a very fairy lame joke. Yeah. Yeah. And I like how you can somehow manage to compliment me and insult me. Okay. All at the same time. Let me put it this way. I’m really glad you came over today.

Yeah, me too,

Rachel. Honey, as you know, your daddy and I have things. We just don’t agree about it. Rachel, Isabella Black. What are you doing here? I can’t see. Mommy, you young lady is supposed to be in school. Your principal called me and told me you weren’t in class. I had used my cell to track you down here. How did you get here?

She used your phone to call an Uber? No, she stole my phone. Did you put her up to this? Did you? Oh my God, I don’t did. You certainly did. I have no idea. She was coming and you were so shocked that she showed up here that you didn’t think of calling me and letting me know that she hadn’t been kidnapped her.

She’s not in some ditch somewhere. I was going to call you. She was so upset and I just, I needed to comfort her. I wish she so upset. Well, she wanted to know if what I wrote in this letter was true, that I was okay with you and Chloe being. Mm-hmm. And what did you say to her? Well, when you burst in here, I was just about to tell her that I meant everything I wrote.

Hey, listen to me, sweetheart. I just want your daddy to be happy, and if that means being with Chloe. So

you killed Leo’s story. Oh, I’m sure you would’ve preferred I just killed Leo, period, but I’m not that guy anymore. Well, how, how did you make that happen? The perks of being the publishers. I get to decide what is and is not fit to print. And Leo’s story about you bat mouthing a little girl. It wasn’t fit in my.

Well, don’t get me wrong, I am beyond grateful. But isn’t that exactly the kind of story that the spectator wants, right, bud? So how upset you were Chloe just didn’t seem right. So what? You did it out of the kindness of your heart. I, I say, uh, just didn’t want to give Kristen any armor after what she did to Sarah, and that little twb Leo could use a reminder that I’m in charge.

So mostly I did it to be petting.

Well, whatever your motive was. Thank you. Truly, things have been so complicated for me and Brady. I’m not sure that if Leo would’ve printed that story, if we would’ve survived it.

Hey, Alex. Oh, hey, you. Sorry I, I wasn’t expecting you. No, it’s okay. I just wanted to come by and just clear some things up. About what? Just everything between us. I see it as a fun, no strings attached kind of thing. I’m not exactly looking for a relationship.

Me neither. I am very, very happy with meaningless sex. Great. Mm-hmm. Okay, then well, um, I guess I’ll take off. I’m, I’m sorry to bother you. Hang on. I mean, you, you’ve come all the way over here, haven’t you? Is that it? I mean, are you sure you don’t want to engage in more of that meaningless sex

right now?

Hey, how was your run? It’s good. How was, uh, how was the movie? Oh, great. Awesome. Great, awesome. I’m gonna go hop in the shower.

I feel like I almost got compliment merits. Hey. How long do you think he’s gonna be in the shower? Not long enough. I think we should probably get back to the movie. Right. Okay. Uh, great. Um, more unrequited love.

So you wanted to see me? Yes. I um, was talking with Alex this morning and he called me. The two of you are having some issues, so he sent you two smooth things over. No, he doesn’t know I’m here. This is a solo mission. I just want you to know that Alex knows that he messed up and that he really wants this arrangement to work.

I wanted to work too. Justin. I just don’t know for sure whether Alex is ever gonna accept the fact that I’m in charge. I think if you just give him a chance, he will eventually find a way to prove himself to you.

Working from home. Hmm. Definitely has its benefits. Mm-hmm. Hell of a lot better than a coffee break. You’re not going back to the office. No. Auntie Maggie still doesn’t want me there. Not until this eye heels up.

I’m so sorry about that. It’s not your fault. Besides, I already told you Auntie Maggie, I’m already on her bad side, so going evicted the way I did, just made it a hell of a lot worse since she’s running Titan. I just have to find a way to get more good graces

Tamira, it’s time for your shift in the laundry room. All right. Hey. Oh, I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see you, sweetheart. Look at me. You have to promise me that you’re not gonna come here again by. Fine, whatever. Damira. I’m coming. Okay, sweetheart, I love you.

Come here.

I’m gonna double down on what your mama has said. You, you scared me today. Okay? I, I, I don’t ever want you to pull a stunt like this again. Okay. Sorry, daddy. All right. Now look, I’m gonna take you back to school and afterwards I’m gonna spend a little time with Chloe. Okay? Daddy, honey. You heard what mommy said.

She’s fine with daddy and Chloe being together, and she also wants you to give her a chance. So I want you to promise me and you’ll try fine, I promise. Thank you. Let’s get outta here.

So have I made up for the whole, leaving you in the clutches of a psychotic drug, Lord thing? Uh, no. But I am sincerely grateful for what you did. Thank you.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Summer: Oh, my god.

Phyllis: Congratulations to the abbotts.

[ Chuckles ] Congratulations. Bravo. Bravo.

Summer: Oh, my god.

Lauren: Bravo to the happy couple.

Michael: Congratulations.

[ Applause ]

Phyllis: Yeah, but bravo would sort of mean that it’s a performance of some kind, and this is quite — quite a show.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: What do you say we go and get that cheeseburger now?

Sally: Yeah. Best idea ever.

Nick: Yeah.

Sharon: Are you worried about the baby?

Adam: Um… yes, I-I am, sharon. I’m really sorry. Will you excuse me?

Sharon: Yeah. Please, go. Go.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Daniel: Mom, you need to stop this.

Summer: Please.

Phyllis: Why? Why do I need to stop? I’m embarrassing you? Is that what I’m doing?

Daniel: Yeah, yeah, a little. So why don’t we go, you and me right now? Come on, let’s —

Phyllis: Why? Why? Why? ‘Cause I’m telling the truth? Is that why? Because that woman has convinced everyone in town that she’s a changed woman?

Jack: Listen to your children. Go. Now.

Phyllis: I will go when i am good and ready! When I am good and ready, I will leave this room! But not until then! Does everybody have a problem with the truth? You have a problem with that? You don’t, right? You know what I’m talking about. I have lost everything. I have lost my entire life, my children, everything because of that woman. And I am telling you, that woman is as dangerous today as she was the day she faked her death, and I am the only one, apparently, who sees this.

[ Sniffles ]

Amanda: Please, don’t let me keep you. I would hate to ruin your date. That is what this is, right, a date? I’m sorry. What is it that you said to me when I found you practically naked on top of devon? That it was spontaneous? No, no. You said it was a moment of confusion. Well, look at you. Doesn’t look like anyone’s confused now, huh? Word of advice. He’s a cheater.

Devon: Amanda, wait a second.

Amanda: Why? So you can tell me that you guys are living together, shacking up, playing house? No.

Devon: No, no. I don’t want to have an argument with you right here.

Amanda: Agreed. So if you’ll excuse me.

Devon: Can you just wait a second, please? I would like to have a peaceful conversation with you. Can you give me that?

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Phyllis: Jack. [ Chuckles ] No — no one’s happy for you. Seriously. I mean, it’s an embarrassment. They’re laughing at you, actually.

Jack: This is an evening of celebration. Your tirades are not welcome here, phyllis.

Phyllis: You must be loving it. You loving it? I mean, you should. Yeah, because you hit the jackpot, didn’t you, baby? Marrying into the abbott family.

Danny: Hey, phyllis. Phyllis, hey, hey. Hey, let’s step outside and get some fresh air, huh? Cool yourself down. What do you say?

Phyllis: You know me. Right? You know me?

Danny: Of course, yeah.

Phyllis: Okay. I mean, you know that I have changed, right? You know I have changed, right?

Danny: I know.

Phyllis: And I have done horrible things, horrible things in my past, but I’ve changed, and you know that, right?

Danny: Yeah.

Phyllis: I’ve hurt a lot of people in this room, but you know I’d sacrifice anything for my children. You know. And I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to do this. I don’t want to do this, but I have to. I have to. I have no choice. Because of you. Because of you. That’s why I am doing this. Because of you. Because she’ll try to take me down. Oh, I’m — I’m fine.

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: I’m okay.

[ Breathes heavily ] I’m fine.

Summer: You’re not fine.

Diane: You’re obviously drunk, so why don’t you just go home and sleep it off? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Amanda: I have nothing more to say to you.

Devon: Well, you had an awful lot to say earlier, and then you just left, and we didn’t get a chance to actually talk.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Abby: I know that you have zero reason to listen to me.

Amanda: That’s right.

Abby: But maybe if you could just listen to devon, maybe it would bring you both some —

Amanda: Some closure? No, I got all the closure that I needed when I found you two together.

Abby: I was going to say healing for both of you.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Amanda, it would mean a lot.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Fine. You have three minutes.

Devon: Thank you.

Abby: Okay, I’m going to give you some privacy.

Devon: Sure. Kiss dominic for me.

Abby: Yeah.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Devon: Why don’t we go inside and we can sit at the bar and I’ll order you a chardonnay if you’d like.

Amanda: Remembering my favorite drink doesn’t score you any points.

Abby: I’m so sorry.

Amanda: Help the lady find her shirt, devon. Did you rip it off and throw it over there by the stairs? Or did she peel it off teasingly?

Devon: Please don’t do that.

Abby: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry. I am so sorry for the pain that I caused you. Look, I understand that a betrayal is a betrayal and it doesn’t matter that it wasn’t intentional and we never meant for this to happen. It was just — it came out of emotion, and I — we don’t even know where it came from.

Amanda: Okay, you can stop. I don’t need to hear this. I really don’t care.

Abby: I doubt that.

Amanda: Well, it’s true. But you’re right. “Not caring” — it didn’t happen overnight. It took time. I replayed that day over and over, you scrambling to find your shirt, devon stammering to explain. I was hurt, I was angry, but i could not — i did not let it dictate my life. I have too much to focus on. My job, my family. My mom needs my love and support back home. So, I have so much going on that I don’t have time to worry about you and devon ever again.

Ashley: This is unbelievable. Unbelievable. Jack’s idiocy was on full display. This announcement that he’s engaged to diane. Ugh! Do you know — you know what he did? He knew that I wouldn’t make a scene in front of half of genoa city. But you know what else is making me crazy?

Tucker: No, but I have a feeling —

Ashley: Traci. Traci. I watched her face when jack was making that announcement, and she knew. She knew, tucker, and she didn’t tell me. Am I the only one in my family that hasn’t lost their mind? Am I the only one that sees diane for who she really is? She has played jack perfectly. You realize that, right? Because she’s gotten everything she wanted.

[ Sighs ]

Danny: Hey, come on. Why don’t —

Phyllis: I’m good. I’m good. I am not dru– hey, trust me. I am not drunk.

Jack: You’ve made your scene, phyllis. Go home.

Phyllis: Okay, I just have this to say. One more thing. Diane, I tried to apologize to you.

Diane: That’s a lie.

Phyllis: No, I tried to apologize to you, and you know it. I brought you into a room to apologize and clean the slate, and you attacked me. She attacked me. She attacked me, by the by. Yeah, that happened. [ Sighs ] But it doesn’t matter, mrs. Soon-to-be jack abbott, right? You’ve just taken my entire life, that’s all.

Jack: You blew up your own life, phyllis. Blame the choices you made, not diane.

Phyllis: I really just cannot believe you’re still protecting her. You are so blind, jack. You are —

Summer: Mom, please, just stop.

Phyllis: Baby girl, I’m fine. Seriously.

Daniel: It’s okay. Why don’t we just get out of here, you and me?

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Come on.

Phyllis: Just give me one second, okay? I’m really getting to the good part, okay? Give me one second. Alright, baby? Seriously. I’d like to toast the happy couple. Anybody have a drink for me?

Jack: Phyllis, phyllis, no more. We’ve had enough of your hatred.

Phyllis: No, it’s about love. Honestly, it’s just about love, that’s all. I want to toast your happiness together. See, I’m just trying to protect you and my entire family right now.

Jack: Yes, with lies and viciousness, yes.

Phyllis: Right, right, lies and viciousness. Sure. I don’t understand this still. I don’t understand. This woman abandoned your son and made him believe that she was dead. That’s what she did.

[ Voice breaking ] I would sacrifice everything for my children. Everything. I would lay down my life for my children. But I’m the bad guy? And she still gets a free pass, and everybody just accepts her. She will hurt you. She will. And she will hurt everybody else in this room. But you know, don’t you? You… you know that I see you. You know. Right from the start, there was nothing… different about you. I know… I know you’re capable.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa.

Summer: Mom.

Daniel: Got her. What’s the #1 retinol brand

Nate: I could dance with you all night long.

Elena: Oh, careful. I might hold you to that.

Nate: Mm. Don’t look now, but this is definitely a night for surprises.

Devon: Thank you.

Elena: Hm. Devon and amanda.

Nate: Actually talking. Yet another sign devon is trying to make peace.

Amanda: Thank you for the drink, but we really don’t need to do this. I don’t want to see you grovel.

Devon: I take it you haven’t talked to lily?

Amanda: No. Why?

Devon: Because I dropped the lawsuit.

Amanda: What?

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: So is that why jill waltzed into the arbitration and demanded a recess?

Devon: Yes.

Amanda: Huh.

Devon: She changed her mind about the ipo.

Amanda: And you just dropped your lawsuit? Just like that? You were so angry, it was so personal, and, poof, just like that, it’s all over?

Devon: Did you hear that tonight they renamed the lounge the neil winters jazz lounge?

Amanda: That’s very nice. I’m sure that you and lily were very moved.

Devon: Yeah, we were. And it was very nice. The whole thing put everything into perspective for me, and it made me focus on what neil would actually want if he was here, and it certainly isn’t his kids going at each other. And lily felt the same way.

Amanda: Oh, so you and lily are —

Devon: We’re fine, yeah. We talked, and we forgave each other. And I wish it didn’t take me as long as it did to get to a place where I could forgive her and ask for forgiveness myself.

Amanda: Well, I’m glad. I am. No, really. I’m happy for you and lily.

Devon: Thank you.

Amanda: So I guess you’re going back to chancellor-winters?

Devon: I don’t know about that yet. I’m just happy to have my sister back.

Amanda: Well, good for you.

Devon: I feel like this whole last year has been a journey of me making regrettable decisions and hurting people that I care about, and I know I can’t fix that, but I’m trying to move forward. I’m trying to learn and be a better man because of it.

Amanda: Well, I am really glad that ripping my heart out was just — it was just a part of your journey to finding yourself.

Devon: I never intended to do that to you, amanda. Listen, I haven’t forgiven myself for what I did to you, and I don’t expect you to forgive me. I just want you to know how profoundly sorry I am for what I did.

Amanda: I’ll heal, devon. Don’t worry.

Daniel: Easy, easy. Someone give me something for her head.

Kyle: Yeah, got it.

Summer: God, I knew that there was something wrong with her.

Diane: What is she up to now?

Gina: Oh, for god’s sake. She’s faking it. It’s just phyllis going big.

Christine: I’m not so sure.

Victor: Something is way off. I’m going to call some people. Okay? Keep me informed.

Nikki: Alright.

Summer: Mom, can you wake up? Can you hear me?

Daniel: Can I get an ambulance to the gcac, please?

Sharon: We need to keep her airway clear.

Kyle: Hey, phyllis, can you hear me? Can you open your eyes?

Summer: We need a doctor. Is there a doctor here? Mom, please wake up.

Daniel: Hey, mom. Mom.

Kyle: Phyllis — hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Summer: Oh, my god.

Daniel: Yeah, yeah. Okay, okay.

Lily: Well, this is a surprise. You two are being civil.

Amanda: Yeah, devon told me that he dropped his lawsuit and that the two of you have resolved your issues, right?

Lily: Yes, we have. Very grateful to have my brother back. So was the lawsuit the only thing that you two were discussing?

Amanda: No. Devon was telling me all about his journey to finding himself. But, you know, I think what he said made a lot of sense. The only way to move on is to get past the anger and the hurt. So to moving on.

Devon: Yeah. The good news for you is, now that the lawsuits off the table, you can go back home to your mom and family.

Amanda: Yeah. Well, I actually feel like I have family here, too.

Victoria: Oh, there you are. Nate, we need a doctor.

Nate: What is it?

Victoria: There’s an emergency. You have to come.

Elena: Why? What happened?

Victoria: Phyllis collapsed.

Devon: Collapsed?

Summer: She’s tried so many times to make things right between us, and I’ve just — I’ve shut her down every time. How could I do that to her?

Daniel: Hey, mom knows you love her.

Summer: Does she?

Victoria: Excuse me.

Amanda: Oh, my god.

Elena: What happened?

Nikki: She was having a tantrum, and she just passed out.

Daniel: She started talking, she started stumbling around, and then she collapsed.

Nate: Has she been drinking?

Summer: No, I don’t think so.

Nate: I don’t smell any alcohol.

Daniel: The emts are on their way. They should be here any minute.

Elena: They need to hurry. I can barely feel her pulse.

Sally: I am so excited for this burger. Although, I have to admit, I do feel a little guilty eating a burger beat cheeseburger at crimson lights, but it is absolutely not going to stop me.

Nick: Don’t worry about that. I got a pretty solid in with the owner of this joint.

Sally: Ooh, yes. Extra hot sauce.

Nick: You put hot sauce on your french fries?

Sally: Uh, yeah. If there’s something that you should know about me, it’s that I love my hot sauce.

Nick: So weird. Alright, well, let me try one.

Sally: No, unh-unh. You had a chance to get your own. You said you didn’t want any.

Nick: Well, how about little credit, then, for getting you out of the gala before things went south?

Sally: Fine. Maybe one.

Nick: Just one.

Ashley: Mamie had a wonderful time. Isn’t that nice? She’s very tired, though.

Tucker: You seem a little tired yourself.

Ashley: Thank you.

Tucker: Try that. Cheers.

Ashley: Yeah, cheers. It’s not going to help, but thanks. You’ve been quiet all night long.

Tucker: When did I get an opportunity to speak at that place? It’s just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah from everyone. So how about jack and diane, huh? They sure seem happy.

Ashley: It’s faux happiness because it’s based on a lie.

Tucker: Diane was just radiant.

Ashley: She wasn’t radiant, tucker. She was smug because she thinks she won.

Tucker: Or maybe the two of them have found true love.

Ashley: I liked you a lot better when you weren’t talking, actually.

Tucker: No, but, seriously, she seems to have changed. Really.

Ashley: Are you trying — listen.

Tucker: No, but if so, who are we to doubt her, to judge?

Ashley: Do you want to annoy me right now? Because you know better than anybody what she’s capable of, so —

Tucker: Yeah, and I know what love is capable of.

Ashley: Oh, I know, because of the time you spent in the ashram —

Tucker: No, because of you. And because I’m selfish.

Ashley: Well, that part I completely agree with you.

Tucker: I saw the way they looked at each other when jack was giving that speech. It was there. It was there — forgiveness. And I selfishly want to believe that forgiveness is possible because that’s what I want from you. And I figure if jack and diane can find a second chance, then maybe we can, too.

Nate: Breaths are shallow.

Elena: Pulse is thready.

Nate: Pupils are reactive.

Audra: Nate’s a man of many talents.

Victoria: Thank god.

Elena: Does your mother have any allergies?

Daniel: No.

Nate: Is she on any medications?

Summer: Not that I know of.

Elena: Did anything specific happen to prompt this? Did anything unusual happen tonight before she collapsed?

Kyle: She was upset about my dad’s engagement announcement. She went off on them, just ranting, and then passed out.

Summer: Can you tell what’s wrong with her?

Daniel: Why isn’t she waking up?

Elena: Unfortunately, her loss of consciousness can be a sign of a number of things. I’m sorry we don’t have any better answers for you yet.

Nate: The only thing we know is that we need to get your mother to the hospital, stat. Her vitals are deteriorating.

Elena: Here they are.

Danny: This doesn’t make any sense. I mean, phyllis is so strong and healthy, right?

Lauren: Well, you know, she was in a coma a few years ago. That couldn’t have lasting effects, could it?

Nikki: Whatever this is, let’s pray she pulls out of it.

Michael: If anyone’s a fighter, phyllis is. (Geri) I smoked and I have copd.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: I hope you’re not just going to stand there lurking.

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] I’m not lurking.

Sally: You’re totally lurking.

Adam: Okay, look, I — i just have to know. Are — are you and the baby okay?

Sally: We’re fine.

Nick: That’s why you’re here?

Adam: At the gala, I saw you put your hand on your stomach and then leave pretty quickly, so I was worried that something was wrong, but now I know. Cheeseburgers. You were just hungry.

Sally: Okay, well, if you followed us here, then you saw us go through the drive-through, so you didn’t put it together then?

Adam: Well, I thought you might have just been faint, maybe some low blood sugar, and if that’s all it was, I just wanted to make sure that you were okay.

Nick: That’s why you followed us?

Adam: And now you make me sound like a stalker. But I would rather chalk it up to being an overprotective father-to-be.

Sally: Well, I guess i appreciate the honesty.

Nick: Yeah, honesty’s good.

Adam: Well… I’m genuinely relieved everything is okay with you and the baby. Pretend I was never here.

Sally: Or you could join us.

Adam: Are you sure?

Sally: No. Mnh-mnh. No, but I just want to find a way for things to be normal, and this is our new normal. And to make it all about me, I really don’t have the greatest tolerance for stress right now. It gives me heartburn. Like, for real. So I would just really like to, you know, figure this out in a way that doesn’t include stalking or family feuds.

Summer: Has there been any changes?

Nate: I’m sorry, there hasn’t, but your mom’s stable for now, okay?

Elena: We’ll know more after we run some tests.

Daniel: Okay, I’m going to follow the ambulance to the hospital. Do you want to ride with me?

Summer: Yeah, I — I should do that, right, instead of, um, driving myself?

Daniel: Yeah.

Kyle: Hey, go to the hospital with your brother, sweetheart. I’ll check in with harrison and the nanny and meet you there.

Summer: Okay. Thanks.

Kyle: She’s going to be okay.

Lily: Hey, I’m really sorry.

Daniel: I mean, I was such a jerk to her. You know, she came up, she tells me how much she loves me and how proud she is of me, and I just blow her off? And now — now look at this.

Lily: No, no, don’t do that, okay? You will get a chance to tell her how much you love her. She’s way too fierce to let this get her down, okay? She’ll be fine.

Danny: Lily’s right. Your mother is way tougher than whatever this is.

Lily: Hey, it’s okay. Come here.

Traci: Sweetie, we are here for you — whatever you need, okay? I’ll be praying for your mom. Come on, sweetie. Okay.

Leanna: Any idea what led to this circus? That spectacular collapse?

Victoria: Leanna.

Leanna: Yeah?

Victoria: Go to hell.

Diane: [ Sighs ] How is this happening? Oh, my god.

Jack: What?

Diane: Phyllis has my ring. How did she get it?

[ Laughter ]

Jack: Ooh, yeah.

Lauren: [ Laughing ] Oh, honey!

Jack: Of course. It was stark who bumped into me. He’s the one who picked my pocket.

Diane: Why? Do you think he left?

Jack: And miss the show? Not a chance. But to what end? I don’t know.

Diane: You know what? This isn’t making sense. Why would he take my ring and give it to phyllis?

Jack: Anything can happen with those two.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: There he is.

Jeremy: Nikki, how beautiful you look tonight.

Nikki: What are you doing here? You were distinctly not invited.

Jeremy: Call me a plus-one. My god. Phyllis. What the hell happened here? And now please welcome ana montoya.

Nick: Yeah, I agree. We need to make this situation work. Boundaries, et cetera. I thought we were doing a pretty good job until a certain someone started tailing us through the burger beat parking lot.

[ Alert sounds ]

Sally: What is it?

Nick: I don’t know. Summer needs me. I got to go. Um… you good?

Sally: Yeah. Yeah, I’m — I’m fine. Go take care of your family.

Nick: You’ll make sure she gets home okay?

Adam: Um, of course.

Nick: Thanks.

[ Smooches ]

Adam: Did you have fun at the big event?

Sally: Yeah, till things got weird. You?

Adam: Uh, it was alright.

Sally: And sharon was alright with you taking off to stalk us?

Adam: [ Exhales sharply ] She understood. Did you want to head out?

Sally: I have waited way too long for this burger, and I’m not going to wait another second, so if you have someplace to be, I can get myself home.

Adam: I don’t have anyplace to be. So I will stay.

Sally: Okay, but don’t expect any fries.

Ashley: Second chance? I don’t even like you sometimes.

Tucker: You like me sometimes. Sometimes you more than like me. So there’s hope.

Ashley: Honestly, I preferred you when you weren’t talking. Could you go back to that?

Tucker: It’s too late.

[ Taps ] I want a second chance with you, ashley. Alright maybe a — by now, a 22nd chance. But, look, if diane and jack can do it, we can do it.

Ashley: Completely different situation.

Tucker: No, not at all. Look what diane did when she came — granted, she didn’t land a helicopter on your back lawn…

Ashley: Thank god.

Tucker: But when she came back, she owned up to her sins, she apologized for any pain she’s caused anyone, and, in her own way, she has tried to redeem herself, as have I. So same.

Ashley: It’s not the same.

Tucker: Yes, it is.

Ashley: It’s not the same. It’s completely different because jack is so befuddled by what he thinks is love that he doesn’t see diane for who she is. See, I see you. I know exactly who you are.

Tucker: And you love me.

Ashley: Listen.

Tucker: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: Just stop it. I need to focus on jack and making sure he doesn’t make the worst mistake of his life, because I’ll be damned if diane jenkins ever becomes a member of the abbott family.

Jeremy: How is she?

Nate: Phyllis is stable, but that’s about all I can tell you.

Jeremy: Well, she was perfectly fine. How did this happen?

Diane: Oh, come on. What is he doing?

Jack: Something tells me we’re going to find out, and it’s not going to be good.

Nate: We don’t have any answers at the moment, but we should know more after we run some tests.

Jeremy: [ Scoffs ] That’s great. Nobody knows anything. Well, come on, guys. Let’s — let’s get her to the hospital. Hey. Listen. You’re going to be okay. You hear me, my love? I want to be with you every step of the way.

Emt carson: Hey, I’m sorry, sir. You can’t ride with us. But you can meet us there.

Daniel: What the hell is that — “my love”?

Summer: I don’t know what he’s doing, but he needs to get away from her.

Kyle: Yeah, it makes no sense.

Leanna: Who’s the handsome new face in town?

Victoria: You don’t want to know.

Leanna: Oh, but I do.

Jeremy: Hey. You’re going to be just fine, okay? I’ll see you soon, my love.

Emt carson: Let’s go.

Kyle: Okay, you just keep me posted.

Summer: I will.

Lily: Hey, call me when you know something, okay?

Daniel: Yeah.

Lily: Alright.

Jeremy: Hm. You people. You happy?

Kyle: Hey, where do you get off crashing this party, pretending you care about phyllis? You know damn well you’re not wanted here.

Jack: What the hell are you up to, stark? What are you doing here?

Jeremy: I get answers first. How did phyllis end up in an ambulance?

Jack: I don’t see where that’s any of your business.

Jeremy: Oh, it is my business. So somebody better start talking.

Kyle: Hey, get out of here. And stay away from the hospital. Summer is worried sick about her mother. She doesn’t need you there.

Jeremy: Nothing is going to stop me from going to the hospital.

Kyle: Mm-hmm?

Jeremy: Once I get my answers, I will be right by my wife’s side.

Traci: [ Gasps ] What? My a1c stayed here, it needed to be here.

Ashley: You know, I’ve been telling jack since diane first came back to town that she is still a threat, she hasn’t changed, and she keeps on lying. Somehow she manages to take those lies and she turns him around and she uses them to her advantage. And not just that. Every time I have an argument with jack about it, it just pushes him closer to her, you know, ’cause he can’t help but play the hero to this walking nightmare.

Tucker: Mm. You really got your work cut out for you. I have a thought, though.

Ashley: Please tell me. I’m desperate.

Tucker: Well, it’s not going to stop their marriage, but —

Ashley: Well, then, what’s the point?

Tucker: Well, hear me out. So, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction —

Ashley: Oh, my god. Excuse me?

Tucker: You love it when i talk science.

Ashley: I don’t love it when you talk — you have no idea what you’re talking about, tucker.

Tucker: Alright, now, so let’s talk the facts, then. So you hate diane. You think she’s a threat to jack?

Ashley: Well, at the very least, she’s going to break his heart — the very least.

Tucker: She’s a threat to the abbott clan.

Ashley: She’s going to blow our family apart, yeah.

Tucker: Right. Kind of like how jack feels about me.

Ashley: Times 10. Is there a point to your story?

Tucker: Yes, so you have told jack about your concerns, about the facts, your truths over and over and over again, ad nauseam, right?

Ashley: Right, he refuses to listen to me, so —

Tucker: Right, then stop talking and do something. You know? Act. Shake him up. Kind of punch him between the eyes.

Ashley: Okay, and what do you have in mind?

Tucker: Marry me.

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ] That was the greatest burger of all time.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: You still like hot sauce with your fries?

Sally: Ooh, the hotter, the better.

Adam: You, um… you… you got A…

Sally: Here? Oh, here?

Adam: Yeah.

Sally: Oh.

Adam: Sorry.

Sally: No. Is it good?

Adam: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Sally: [ Clears throat ] So, um… this…

Adam: What?

Sally: The awkwardness. We really need to work on it. We’re going to be in each other’s lives for…ever now, so I’m going to say it again. We really need to figure this out. Okay?

Jack: Your wife? What the hell are you talking about?

Diane: You expect us to believe that phyllis is mrs. Stark?

Jeremy: Mrs. Stark was just wheeled out of here tonight on a gurney.

Jack: You and phyllis? That is absurd.

Jeremy: We got married three days ago.

Kyle: There’s no way phyllis would marry you.

Jeremy: Oh, and you know that because you’ve been so close lately.

Amanda: Phyllis is married, and she never said a word?

Danny: Who the hell are you?

Jeremy: The only person in this room that gives a damn about phyllis.

Lauren: So you just want us to accept that phyllis just suddenly got married? To you?

Jeremy: My wife and I were going to announce our marriage here tonight, but, unfortunately, that’s not going to happen.

Jack: Okay, what kind of game are you playing?

Jeremy: No game, jack. I’m just a happily married man.

Traci: Okay, so phyllis makes this giant change in her life, and she doesn’t tell her family or any of her friends?

Jeremy: What family?

[ Chuckles ] What friends? You all shut her out. You all made it very clear that you didn’t want to have anything to do with her.

Nikki: So you swooped in and took advantage of her?

Jeremy: Hardly. I was in a bad place, too. Was alone. I just got out of prison. I understood what phyllis felt.

Leanna: Prison? Huh.

Jack: Okay, this is ridiculous. You and phyllis? There was no wedding.

Jeremy: I don’t care what you believe, jack. Phyllis and I connected, so we decided to make it official.

Michael: So phyllis married you, someone she barely knew?

Jeremy: Yeah, she was afraid, vulnerable, she wanted protection, and I wanted to be that for her.

Jack: Protection from what?

Jeremy: From her.

Jack: From diane?

Jeremy: Phyllis was very afraid, and she had reason to be. So we’re all here, diane. Tell us, what did you do to phyllis?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

security sweep is complete. We’re all clear, boss. – Thank you. I need competent people around me during these times. – Hopefully we’ll find who’s targeting you soon. – Oh, I’m going to find them. No one’s going to interfere with the pikeman deal. – Think she’ll deliver? – [Sighs] – Haven’t you told your people? I always bring the goods.

[Dramatic music] – [Breathing heavily] – Ok, cool. Let’s go again. – [Sighs] We’ve done this, like, five times already. We got this. – Practice can’t hurt. – Ugh. Unless I pass out from dehydration. – [Scoffs] Ok. Five minutes. – Thank you. – Don’t call me back until it’s done. What– what are you two doing in here? – We’re, uh, practicing our performance. – The show is tonight, and you two still need to practice? Oh. Ok, this nurses’ ball is going to hell in a handbasket. – You guys have been such a big help. – We’ll finish, aunt elizabeth.

[Doorbell rings] We’ll make it gucci. – [Laughs] That means– – no, I know what that means. – Ok. – Hi. Come in. – Hey. Sorry I’m late. There was kind of a lot of traffic, and I– – no, no, no. You’re right on time. – Oh, good. Oh, how are you doing, sweetheart? – Cam’s coming. – Ok. Come here. – Hey, did I just hear the doorbell?

[Together] Surprise! – Oh, my goodness. Hey! Oh, thank you. What’s going on? I thought we were just having breakfast, the four of us. – You didn’t think we’d let you leave for california without a proper sendoff from your family, did you? – Wow. I feel like the luckiest guy right now.

[Laughter] – I called ahead and said that I’d be coming in with my son. – I’ll need his name and date of birth to check you in. Who’s his pediatrician? – Um, we don’t have a regular one yet. I gave birth outside the hospital. Is dr. Portia robinson around? – Uh, dr. Robinson is not available. But um, just fill these out while we get you set up. – Please, my son is sick. He needs to be seen right away. – Thank you. Hounding the nurse is not going to do ace any favors. – I don’t care. Ace needs medical attention. And I will fight for him no matter what. – It’s not going to do any good to pick a fight with the wrong person, esme. The best way to get him treatment is to fill out these forms. – What– what are you even doing here? I didn’t want you here. So if you’re not on my side, you can leave now. – This isn’t about you or sides, esme. This is about ace. And I’m not leaving you alone with my baby brother.

[Tense music]

[Gun clicks] – Something I should know? – What? Oh, I’m just making sure I’m prepped. This situation is deteriorating. – You know, something happened to make eileen bolt. Now victor’s after her. He’ll more than likely find her. – She can’t outrun victor. She knows too much– enough to bring this whole thing crashing down.

[Knock at door]

[Tense music]

 

[Dramatic music]


– Did you guys know there’s a 10% chance of rain tonight? Water stains silk. Rain deflates hair. And what if the ground gets slippery? One slip or fall could end up all over social media. Five or six are a catastrophe. – 10% is not much. – And the llama has the nerve to be running late. Now you two are telling me that you’re also not ready? – Maxie. Maxie, me and trina are doing just fine, ok? We were just doing some run-throughs and adding on some finishing touches. – Yeah, we’re beyond ready. – Ok. Ok, that’s great. Um, but you’ll need to leave when the wands get here. It’s a closed set. – Got it. – We’re out. – No! I said silk bow ties! – [Laughs] – And I thought you were intense. – Yeah. After that, I promise to relax. – So a six-minute break? – Ok, fine. The nurses’ ball is about having fun after all. – And that’s my plan. I’m all about fun tonight. – Mm. With spencer? – You wouldn’t happen to remember ace’s weight when he was born, would you? – Yes. And I remember his length and his apgar score from when they checked him out when we first got to the hospital.

[Sighs] Ace is sick, and if filling out this stupid form will get him seen, that’s all I care about. Oh. Hey, if you want to make yourself useful, why don’t you fill out this part where they, uh, ask about payment. I don’t think we have insurance.

[Baby whimpering] It’s ok, sweetie. – Grandmother doesn’t seem to think that it’s anything serious. – Mommy knows that something’s not right. – How long do you think that you’re going to be able to keep up this angelic mother act, esme? – Would you get over yourself? I am sick of trying to prove to you that I am not the person I used to be. I need to be a good mother to ace. He is what matters, not you. – Well, it seems that you’ve lost your memory but not your personality, esme. You’re not going to be able to hide behind ace forever. – I can’t believe that you guys went all out for this. Thank you. Aiden, are those banana chocolate chip muffins? – My best batch yet. – Wow. – I know how much you like them. – I made the toast. – Fantastic! I love toast. – That’s all that daddy would let me make. – Well, you can move on to things that involve a flame when you’re a little older. – I can teach her some easy dishes now. – Yeah? – I’d love that. – You’d better take him up on it, because I’ve had your dad’s spaghetti. – Hey. – This is so very cool of everyone. I don’t even know what to say. – Uh, how about let’s eat? – Oh, ok. I see where jake’s priorities are. You just keep him well-fed, you know. He’ll forget that I’m even gone. – I think jake’s right, and we should eat all this delicious food while it’s still warm. – I’ll get the orange juice.

[Indistinct chatter]

[Sighs] – Hey. Anything you need? – I don’t want to bring down the mood. Been an intense few days. – I get it. I’m here, whatever you need. – Just t he strength to saygoodbye to my firstborn.

– How are you holding up? – Uh, I’m ok. I’m hanging in there. A lot has come to light, hasn’t it? – Yeah. How do you feel about all of it? – You know, I wasn’t entirely surprised that esme turned out to be ryan and heather’s daughter. You know, the girl is just as twisted as they are. But finding out that ryan was colluding with her to destroy my life, that– that shook me up a bit. – Fortunately, we don’t ever have to deal with ryan again. – Ah, thanks to your husband. That esme, though– she has yet to pay. – Felicia sent me. – Why? Where is she? – Maxie needed her help, so she told me how to get here. I was not followed. I took every precaution. – What’s happened? – Victor disappeared.

– Were you able to learn anything about the contractor who tried to kill me? – As I suspected, no one in my organization frequents the highsider, nor did anybody recognize the gunman. However, I sent li to make inquiries with the staff at the highsider. He had a very interesting conversation with the bartender. – Did you get an id on the shooter or not, selina?


– I feel like there’s no need to compare them, you know? They’re both so different. – Yeah, I– – …almost iconic. – It is iconic. I’ll grant you that, I’ll grant you that. – I knew this was going to be hard, but it just got real all of a sudden. – I wish there was something i could say that would magically make you feel better. But this is hard sending your kids out into the world. And cam’s your first, and that is a very particular kind of pain. – I’m so happy for him and proud. But I already feel like a part of me is missing, and he’s not even gone yet. – Yeah, I know, but that’s the sad part. But remember, there’s– there’s wonderment and joy in watching your– your children forge their own paths, become adults, live full lives. It’s all a blessing, trust me. And you will always be his mother. – You got a little something on your shirt there. Oh, oh! I had to get you one last time before I left. – Yeah. You didn’t get me. – Good job, sweetie. You gained two pounds and grew almost an inch. That’s good, right? – Right on target. The doctor will be in shortly. – Thank you. – Mm-hmm. – Nurse seems to think that he’s ok. Better than ok. – Yeah. Um, look, spencer. I know, um, we both have our reasons for not trusting each other, but it’s all in the past. – Is it? – Can it be? I mean, ace is my present and my future, and whether I like it or not, you’re his brother. We need to get along for his sake. – Everything that you’ve done to me, to my friends– it’s not exactly something that I can easily forgive, esme. – Well, can you try? I mean, I’d hate to see you miss out on knowing ace because of it. – Is that a threat? – What? No. It’s just not good for ace if we’re fighting all of the time. And the longer you keep seeing me as my old self, the more damage it’s going to do to him. – I guess I don’t see it like that. – Sorry to keep you waiting. I know you. – I know you too. You’re the man that my mother tried to kill the night my son was born. – Spencer and I will see each other at the ball, but we’re not going together. – What’s going on with you guys? I mean, last time I heard, you kissed. Did something happen? – No, no. I mean, we’re fine. We’re definitely more than friends. It’s just complicated. – Yeah. Well, that’s spencer. It’s complicated. – No, it’s not just him, ok?

[Scoffs] I feel like we’re some kind of cosmic joke. Just when I thought, oh, finally, like, we’re going to finally– both of our lives blew up. The night we kissed, I’d just found out that my mother lied to me about my father. Then ryan chamberlain and heather webber showed up on spoon island, nearly killing ava. Then esme had her baby. Now esme and her baby are living with spencer in his grandmother’s apartment. – Because of the baby. – And I totally understand that spencer wants to be close to his baby brother. But it’s just– it just feels weird that he and esme and the baby are living together, like some pseudo family.

[Sighs] I really want to be with spencer. But now it just feels like I should take it slow. – Slow sounds like the right idea. – It doesn’t feel that way.

[Sighs] But what about you? – Me? – I mean, it’s been months since you broke up with cam, and now he’s leaving for california. Are you ready to get back out there? – The bartender recognized the gunman. – Did you get a name? – Unfortunately, no. The bartender said the gunman came in only once and paid in cash. But he recalled that the man was staying at a nearby hotel, so I sent my men to search the establishment. The shooter’s belongings were relegated to storage when he didn’t return. We were able to acquire them. – I appreciate that. – I hope this restores your faith in me. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance. – Looks like we found the guy. Now we have to find out who hired him. – When did victor disappear? – Within the last 24 hours. Look, ever since robert searched victor’s hotel room, we’ve had the metro court under surveillance. He has not returned. I even decided to search his room myself in case that somehow he slipped by us. – How did you go about doing that? – I asked olivia for access. – What, no. – You involved olivia in this? – Come on. – Time was my main concern, valentin, ok? And I knew olivia wasn’t going to ask any questions. It doesn’t matter anyway, because she said victor checked out. Although I can tell you he did not do it personally. – This can only mean one thing. – Victor’s onto us.


– Has it been months? It feels more like minutes. – Ah. Uh-uh. No, no, no, no, no. No fair. You do not get to grill me on my love life and give me nothing back. – Trina, I switched to pre-med, ok? I’ve been swamped with classes. I have no time for dating. – Are you sure it’s a time thing? Look, ok. Breakups are hard, but you can’t let it paralyze you. You got to put yourself back out there. Hey, you know nolan. – Water polo nolan? What about him? – Yeah, he’s in my renaissance art class. We’re pretty cool. Maybe I can set you two up or something. – Thanks, but no. – Joss, he’s one of the hottest guys on campus. You can’t even just, like, have coffee with him? – Trina, what would we even talk about? – You’re jocks. You can, I don’t know, swap stories of the thrill of victory or something. – Ok, ok. We need to get back to rehearsing– – joss, we know these steps cold. We do not need the practice. Are you not interested in nolan because you’re already seeing someone? – Scott is still stuck at court. – Oh, that’s too bad. I know he wanted to be here. – He did say that he was due a visit to the west coast soon, so… – and he means it, too. You are very important to him. – I feel very grateful having you and scott as my grandparents. – And I know that I speak for both of us when I say it’s been a privilege for us to watch you grow into the fine young man that you have become. – I owe a lot of it to you. – [Gasps] – It’s true. I mean, you– you have always supported me, even when things were great or terrible. – [Laughs] – Thank you, grandmother. – I love you so much. My heart is just bursting with pride right now. Really. I can’t wait to see what you do next. It’s going to be great. – I love you, grandmother. – I love you too, sweetheart. – Ava, are you planning on making esme pay? – Oh, no. No, no. Don’t worry about that. I will leave it to the authorities. Although I was not happy to hear that your brother-in-law is not going to prosecute her. – Well, timing is everything. – Mm-hmm. What about all those months that she terrorized me, that she made me fear for my daughter’s life? She destroyed my marriage. I’m not trying to excuse nikolas’s actions, but we were building a life together before she showed up. And to find out that she manipulated the entire situation– she’s just as rotten as her father, may he rot in hell. Now all I have left is that big old empty, drafty castle. – Well, you’re not completely alone. – You know, I have avery. But not all the time, you know? I share custody. – Well, what about austin? – What– what about him? – Well, he was there the night that ryan and heather made their appearance. And wasn’t he also there when dante and the police officers were searching for nikolas? – You told me that nikolas was dead. – He was. – Did you take a pulse? – No, I just took my chances. Of course I checked his pulse. – Ok, so–

[Clears throat] One time in medical school, they told me that a dead body doesn’t just up and walk away. – I was in shock, right? I mean, I’m sure I was in shock. But I can tell you one thing for certain. Nikolas’s heart was not beating. I’m sure of it. – Then, ava, where the hell is he? – Austin seems to be with you a lot. – You have to believe me; I didn’t even know that that woman was my mother. Please don’t hold her actions against my son. Ace is innocent. – Ace? That’s his name? Oh, that’s great. I love that. – [Scoffs] – You’re not mad? – No. Why would I be mad? I certainly wouldn’t be mad at you or at ace. So I’m dr. Gatlin-holt. – I– I’m esme prince. – Nice to meet you under better circumstances. Mr. Cassadine. – Spencer’s fine. We actually saw each other not long ago in passing. – Right, nice to see you. So what’s, uh– what’s going on with baby ace? – Um, I noticed that he’s been much fussier than usual, crying even when he’s not hungry and doesn’t need a changing. I kept track of the episodes, but I also noticed that he’s been flushing. I have some pictures if– if you need. – Wow. I wish all my first-time moms were this organized. – You want me to examine the contents? – No. Take it back to the office to, uh– we’ll look through it there. I’m going to have frank bring the car around. – Boss, there’s a body in the water. – What? – Victor suspects laura and robert are working together. I know that because she told me the other day he accused her of making a move against him. – Ok. Well, victor will already realize that the necklace is fake. He’ll assume that robert knew, gave it to eileen to hand off to him. – Would eileen give you up? – If victor pressured her? In a heartbeat. – I mean, god. She was just supposed to go in and deliver the necklace and then get out. But instead, she decided to take it on herself to make a play for the decryption key. And then something happened. Something spooked her enough for her to get out of town. – No, eileen ashby is definitely gone, but she did not leave on her own.

[Tense music]


– You’re seeing someone, aren’t you? Don’t lie. – I don’t want to lie to you.

[Sighs] Yes, I am. – Joss, that’s great. But, um, how long has this been going on? – Um, a few months. – Ooh. So not long after you broke up with cam. – No. – Is that why you didn’t tell me? You felt like I was going to judge you for it? – No. – Because I never– you told me last fall that you were starting to feel distance between you and cam, and things just weren’t working out. So I mean, that’s– that’s fair. – I just don’t want you in the middle. Cam is your friend too, and spencer definitely felt a way about me breaking up with him. – Ok, yeah. That’s– that’s on spencer, though. Of course I felt bad for cam. He was hurting, and I– I think he’s such a great guy. But things worked out. Cam is going to play soccer at stanford. He’s starting this major new phase in his life. And even if he wasn’t, you’re my girl, joss. You know I want the best for you. I want the best for both of you. – Thank you. – So who is it? Someone I know? – No, not really. – Do you have a picture? – Trina, I’m really sorry. I can’t tell you who it is right now. – Why not? – Because there could be really serious consequences if it became public knowledge. – Thanks for coming, and bringing violet. – Just try keeping her away. She loves her cousins. I’m really glad they can still be a part of each other’s lives. – It’s the connections you make that matter the most. That’s what epiphany used to say. – What you said about her at the memorial yesterday, it was really beautiful. – Yeah, I hope it’s what she would have wanted. And as devastated as I am, one burden has been lifted. – Hmm? – I found out that she did write a letter to the ethics committee and intended to deliver it herself. – I knew she stuck by you. – I was so afraid that I had disappointed her. It really weighed on me thinking that I’d let down my mentor, my friend. I’m just incredibly grateful that wasn’t the case. – Cam. We got you something. – Oh yeah? – Jake, now. – I did the drawing. Aiden and violet pasted on the cutouts. – So you can take us with you to california. Do you like it? – I’m not sure like is the word to use here. I love it. Come here. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much. – What is it? Just– just tell me what’s wrong. – Uh, nothing’s wrong at all. Ace is a totally healthy baby. – Oh my god. – What we have here is what we call a classic case of colic. – I’ve read about that. But is ace in pain, or– – well, he’s got gas, so probably more uncomfortable than in pain. And he’s just crying because he doesn’t know how to tell you, because he can’t talk yet. So here’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to send you home with a list of soothing techniques and some samples of some formula that might be easier on his stomach. – Thank you. – You’re welcome. We’re going to start him on a probiotic, you know, if the change in diet doesn’t help him immediately. – And the probiotic is safe for infants? – Oh yeah, absolutely. Ace is fine. Whatever you’re doing, just keep doing it. You’re doing a great job, mom. I’ll be back. – Did you hear that, sweetie? You’re gonna be ok. – Yeah, we’re going to get you fixed up, buddy. – Austin and I have something significant in common. After all, nothing forges a bond like being victims of the same lunatic. – Mm-hmm, I know.

[Chuckles] I hope that both you and austin have some peace of mind now that heather’s been locked up. – I will have peace once esme is dealt with. I really have to run. It’s been a pleasure. – Will I see you at the nurses’ ball later? – Oh. Oh, I wouldn’t miss it. Something big always happens at the nurses’ ball. – Oh, yeah. – I went to eileen’s apartment after victor went missing. I wanted to question her since she may have been the last person to see him. There were– there were no signs whatsoever that she had made any preparations to run with or without victor. – Quick escapes don’t leave a lot of time to collect belongings. – Pet owners never leave their dog without making some provisions. – I didn’t know she had a dog. – She had a very hungry, very thirsty dog that was barking even before i walked up to the door. This dog had not been cared for in some time. I took him to the q’S. The dog’s doing fine. The point is, is, she loved him. He was well-groomed. He had beds and treats and the whole thing, toys. There’s no way that she would abandon him willingly. – No. She’s not cold-blooded. You’re right. Eileen left under duress. Something really bad happened after she hung up that phone.

[Radio chatter] – Imagine my surprise when I heard you were the one who reported this. – Can you imagine how surprised I was when I came across her? – Talk to me, sonny. How are you involved in this? – I was just– I was taking a walk. I saw someone in the water. And I went to check it out, and it was the deputy mayor. – So you were casually taking a stroll alone on the docks– – yeah. – –And a body just happened to wash up right by you? That is some timing. – Ok, I told you everything that happened. If you want to take it any further, I’m going to have to call diane, and then it’s going to be a waste of everybody’s time. I don’t think you want to do that. – I came as soon as I heard. Is it true? Is that eileen? – I’m sorry, mayor collins.

[Phone rings] Commissioner ashford. – Ohh. Oh, eileen.

[Gasping] Do you know what happened? – No. But my guess is victor cassadine. – The coroner’s en route to take the body. – I’ll have to prepare a statement for the press. I have to deal with this. If it’s victor, then anna, valentin, and lucy are all in danger. They have to be warned. – I’ll check it out. Take care, ok? – [Sobbing]


– You have to trust me. I promise I’ll tell you when I can. But right now, the stakes are just too high.

– What’s your problem? – My problem? Um, I don’t like him. – Are you five? – And I also don’t like the way that you defend him. – I’d defend anyone this way. You can’t just roll up and start yelling at sonny’s employees. – That’s interesting. Are you telling me that you would be this defensive, this upset over just another one of sonny’s goons? – It sounds so serious. – Look. One day, hopefully very soon, I won’t have to keep this from you. But until then, will you just please forget about it? – [Sighs] Ok. But only if you promise that if you’re ever in trouble you’ll come to me. – I promise. – Josslyn, trina. – I’m going to take off. – You’re going to leave us here? – Yeah, I have something to do. Uh, you still have to stay here, though, and wait for the doctor to get back. – You’re our ride. – Yeah, I’m not going to be long. – [Sighs] Whatever. I can’t count on anyone except for myself. – What’s that supposed to mean? – I can’t keep relying on you and laura. I need to handle things for myself. I’m going to look for a job. – Oh. Doing what? You’ve never worked a day in your life. – I’ll figure it out. I had an internship, right? – That you orchestrated so that you could spend some time scheming with your deranged father, that’s correct. – When I was a person I don’t even remember. I mean, I’m a mom now. I need to be able to provide for my son on my own. – The idea of you being a working single mother is ludicrous to me. I just offered to pay for ace’s medical bills. Face it, you have no idea what to do now that you are out of prison. – Which was all your doing. Cameron told me how you all orchestrated my release. I’m sure this is just part of your plan to take ace away from me, but it’s backfired. I will never give up my son. – Esme, I– – just go. – Good luck in california, cam. You’re a good man. – Thank you for being here, finn, and for everything you’ve done for this family. Can I ask you one last favor? – Name it. – My mom will need her friends when I’m gone. – You can count on me. – Some extra muffins for the road. – Thank you. – Bye. – Bye. – Tell the guys, too. – I will. I’ll see you, peanut. – You ok? You ready? Bye. – Bye. – Are they gone? – Yeah. She just said goodbye to you guys. – Oh. So uh, how often do you think you’ll be back to visit? I was thinking of turning your room into an art studio. – Oh, you just can’t wait for me to leave, huh? I’ll visit as much as I can. – Well, I’ll miss you. Even though I was sometimes a pain, you always stood up for me. – You’re a great big brother, cam. And just so you know, I’ll do my best to pick up where you left off. I’m going to be there for aiden and mom. – Guys, I– I’m going to be gone, but not for good. Look, I’m still your brother, all right? If you need anything, you just call me, ok? – I know. It just won’t be the same. – Come on, guys.

[Sighs] I love you guys so much. – Love you too. – Love you, cam. – Victor and eileen both disappear on the same night they meet. That’s not a coincidence. – All right. Well, best-case scenario is that she figured out a way to escape, and she got out of there and ran as fast as she could. – Or victor found out that eileen was compromised, which is more likely. – Then she would have told him everything she knows, in which case, victor will know we’re alive and lucy. – And that the real necklace still exists. – Mm-hmm. Um, puts everyone at risk– robert, laura, felicia. He’ll figure out that we were all working together to stop him. – Eileen never knew about me and carly. And did she know how to find this place? – No. No. That is at least something in our favor.

[Knock at door] – Anna, it’s me. It’s good to see you. – Hi. What are you doing here? – Uh, laura got caught up in an emergency. Eileen ashby’s dead.

[Tense music]


– Sorry to interrupt. I was told to come here for rehearsal. – Oh. Are you the new magic wand? – I am. Maxie talked me into it. – Oh. Go, maxie. – You guys are performing, right? – Yeah, we’ve been rehearsing all morning. – There you are. Wardrobe needs you for a final fitting. Come on. – [Laughs] What? – No one I know, huh? – It’s a great picture. Really captures the four of you. – Mom, I can’t leave. – Yes, you can. – Aiden and jake, they still need me. You still need me. – What I need is to know that you’re pursuing your dreams. – Are you sure? – Cameron, it’s been you and me since the very beginning. You’ve been my rock, and jake and aiden’s too. You’ve always stepped up for us, and now it’s time to step up for yourself. – It just– it feels so selfish just leaving. – My love, you have such a big heart, and you are so loving. And it has been the greatest gift of my life having you as my son. You’ve given so much of yourself to me and your brothers, and now it’s your turn. So go out there, live your best life, and we’ll be here cheering you on. – I love you, mom. – I love you. – I wonder how much longer it will take dr. Gatlin-holt to get back to us, huh? What do you say we take a quick trip to the vending machines? Yeah? Sound good?

[Laughs]

[Indistinct chatter]

[Bell dings]

[Dramatic music]

– What really happened here? – [Sighs] We won’t know until we get the me’s official report. – You know something. Did she drown? – The me will check for water in her lungs. – But? – The coroner said she had multiple broken bones, including her spine. He suspects eileen died from a fall. Do you have any reason to believe eileen would take her own life? – No. Eileen was all about survival. – Jordan gave laura the information. Laura wanted me to come here and warn you. – You have to assume you’re blown. – Victor got eileen to give up the info, then he disposed of her. – He’ll come after us now.

[Tense music]

– Thank you for meeting me. – Anything for you, my boy. Am I to understand from this that you are finally willing to do what needs to be done?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sloan really trashed your office. Trashed would be an understatement. Looks like a bomb went off. I, I thought this nightmare was finally over. How are we supposed to ever feel safe? Look, it’s gonna be okay, but if Sloan is coming after us, she’ll be sorry. Ms. Stang has messed with our family for the last time.

Well, do you think the police are gonna bust her? She better hope they take care of her trifling behind, because if they don’t misbelief, I will. Well, what has happened with you ra? This doesn’t concern you, Eric. Well then what does it concern as the commissioner said, we’ll fill you in when we get to the station.

Yeah. Like hell, you will. I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what you’re bringing me in for. All right. You wanna do this here? Fine. You’ve been accused by Paulina Price of breaking into our office and trashing the place seriously. Vandalism guys, do I not look serious? Do you look pretty serious to me, boss?

Yeah. Thank you. Mm-hmm. . So you’re gonna come quietly, or are we gonna have to arrest you here and here? Boyfriend’s restaurant.

You can’t be totally shocked that your wife is being unfaithful. Gabriela is hardly the poster child for virtue. Why are you so sure Gabby and Ste are together? Because it’s the truth. We, your wife is making a cock hold of you. Do you have proof? Gabby lied about her business Dinner with Nicole.

How’s this for proof the Sailor Man? Go to room three 12 right now. You’ll find your wife in my brother’s bed.

What’s wrong? Something doesn’t feel right. What I thought you wanted this as much as I do. Well, Gabby, there’s nothing I want more in this world. Then why are you hesitating? What think it’s not gonna, as it as you remember it. Oh, no. Hell no. I have no doubt in my mind after all this time, it is going to be better than ever.

What is the problem we’re about to make love for the first time in over four years, EJ and Nicole made this happen for us. Why are we gonna, why are we gonna ruin this opportunity?

I’m sorry, Gabby. We can’t. Why the hell not? Because we’re being set up.

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

Okay, so what do you mean we’re being set up? I mean, EJ and Nicole didn’t do this out of the goodness of their own heart. They did this because it’s part of a plan. Stephen, how do you know that? Honestly, I’ve been suspicious ever since they pitched this whole secret Renez group. I had my doubts too, but I asked Nicole when she swore that her and EJ were just doing this to.

And you don’t find that odd. At this whole time, EJ has done everything in his power to keep us apart. Now all of a sudden he does a 180 and joins team Stabby. That’s right. I said it. Okay. Yes, it does sound a little odd now that I think about it. So, okay. Five, what’s, what’s your theory? My theory is that son of a bitch wants your husband to catch us together.

Well, what are you waiting for? You hold in your hand the literal key to catching Gabby and reclaiming your shares.

Gabby’s my wife in name only. Her heart and soul belongs to Stephan and as we speak, her body does as well. You’re enjoying this, aren’t you? I’m just trying to be a friend. Come. Where is your dignity? You think it’s dignified of me to go storming over there and catch her in the app? If you don’t catch us, she’s going to walk away from your marriage with Stephan and a considerable block of Damira shares, I don’t think even you would allow that to happen.

I knew you would come to your senses. Come on.

This is outrageous. Paul used her wealth and position to cover up Chanel murdering my mother and now I’m the one being brought in for questioning. One has nothing to do with the other. Yeah. Yet I’m being accused based on what Paulina price’s word. We’re not accusing you of anything that you are bringing her in for Question.

We’d like Ms. Peterson to answer a few questions on the record. You’re the one choosing to do this the hard way. Fine. Let’s just get this over with and listen, I’m gonna go down with you. No, no, no. Don’t worry about it. This is not my first rodeo. I can handle it myself. And once this farce is over, I’ll text you, okay?

Okay, ej, we’re all set. Stephan are exactly where they’re supposed to be. She didn’t trust me at first, but then in the end, she wanted her alone time with Stephan, so she was thrilled for the help. Let me know how it goes with Lee.

The court went across the street. I said I would be willingly. You don’t need a strong army. Oh my goodness. , are you arresting her? Seattle, Nicole. Oh, gotta love it when a lawyer needs a lawyer. So what are you bringing her in for? Impersonating a decent human being. Uh, please don’t interfere unless you’d like to be arrested for pending of police investigation.

Oh, don’t let me stand in your way. Good luck, Sloane. You know, I was wondering, will they let you keep those cheap hair extensions on the inside? Oh, go to hell. Love you too.

Gosh, I just keep getting better and better. Mama, the last thing I want is for you to get into any more trouble because of Sloan Peterson. Sloan is the one who started all this accusing you of murder. She tried to ruin our lies because she couldn’t face the truth. Okay, well just let the police deal with Sloan.

Okay? Well, sometimes if you want, you want something done, you gotta do it yourself. Look, Chanel is right Ms. Price. My sister and Commissioner Hernandez will make sure that woman pays for what she did to your office. You don’t, you don’t know that. What, mom, are you okay? I’m, I need to sit down here. Come sit down honey.

Honey. Because my breath, what’s going on? You can look. So love this price. Ooh, C. Don’t feel so good either. What is it you think I’m having heart attack?

I’m calling an ambulance. My phone, what the hell is my phone? Her property is Ms. Price. Can you please tell me the symptoms you’re experiencing right now?

Check my, he. Oh my God, mama, we, we need to get her to the hospital. No, just hold on a second. Do you have any jaw tightening? Arm pain? Okay. What about your stomach and your back? Any pressure in your chest? Oh, my chest is tight. No, no pain. What is going on? I wanna try something real quick. Close your eyes please.

That helps. Just a heart attack. Just trust me. Okay. Take a deep breath and through your nose, through your mouth. What are you doing? Please this price. You got this again? There you go. Deep breath in. Deep cleansing. Breath out. There you go. Deep breath in. Deep, deep breath out. You too. Chanel. What? Just try it.

All right. There you go. How are you Feeling? Better? Yeah. Oh, I feel much better. Mm-hmm. . Talia. Tell me what’s going on. I don’t think your mama was having a heart attack. Well then what is it? Have you ever suffered a panic attack before? I never panicked. I’m cool under pressure. Well, a panic attack is different.

It’s a very real medical condition with real serious symptoms. I never had one before. How do you know about about this? Tall Is a doctor Mama like a doctor? Doctor, like a real md? Yes, ma’am. Well, I hope you don’t mind my asking, but I. Why the hell did you quit medicine to work in a bakery? Oh, woo.

Hey Justin, it’s Eric. Hey, I’m, when you get this, can you call me back as soon as you can? I have a friend who needs a good attorney.

You have something to say?

I just think it’s romantic that you’re hiring a lawyer for your gal pal. I I was just wondering how does the former St. Eric feel about sleeping with a criminal? She’s not a criminal, she didn’t do it. Do what exactly. I mean, Your ex and my ex haul your current s new bed buddy down to the station. For the record, it’s none of your.

And if I did have a problem sleeping with criminals, I never would’ve shared my bed with you. You have a rap sheet just as long as your boyfriend ejs. Okay, ej. We’re all set. Gabby and Stephan are exactly where they’re supposed to be. She didn’t trust me at first, but then in the end she wanted her alone time with Stephan, so she was thrilled for the help.

Let me know how it goes with Lee.

Dear Stephan, I hope you enjoy your time with that duplicitous snake. It won’t be long before Gabriela’s husband arrives to catch him in the act.

If Lee bust in here catches us in the act that will make you forfeit your claim to his Demari shares, then EJ won’t have to worry about you and I teaming up to take back the. You don’t think you’re being paranoid when it comes to my brother? I wouldn’t put anything past him, especially working with Nicole.

I heard she was quite the schemer back in the day. I can’t believe I You believe I didn’t see through her. She was pretending to be my friend, but I guess I just wanted to be with you so badly that I made the dumb decision to believe it was real. Okay. No, no, no. Gabby, this, you and I, this is what’s real call and EJ are not our friends.

Can’t believe people would do something like this playing with our lives. You know what they’re gonna pay. They will. They will. I’m. There’s nothing I wanted more than to spend tonight with you on this bed. Um, maybe we can, we can have a quick eating house. So nothing, huh? As much as I hate to say. No, we can’t risk if there’s too much at stake.

You’re right. But we will find a way to be together, I promise. Okay, so now what we order some room service, place something on Peacock and wait for a lead to charge in. No. No. I got a better idea.

Okay. A latte for you and a nice calming chemical tea for you, . Oh, thank you. Call me Paul. Lena, you saved my life. I can ditch the formality. I didn’t exactly save your life, but, okay. You got it Paul. So how are you feeling? Oh, better. You have an excellent bedside manner, doctor and I, I hope didn’t, you know I’ll be to mind my praying about your career switch.

Oh no. It’s okay. I mean, it is a pretty radical change, jumping from medicine, working at a bakery and a substantial pay cut. Yeah, and that too, a lot of people would think it’s crazy. I don’t know. I need a change. Oh, your parents must be thrilled, mama. No, not everybody has a mother’s understanding is you do Chanel

No, she’s right. Let’s just say it was definitely, um, an adjustment period. My mother liked to say my daughter, the doctor who wouldn’t . No, it’s, but at the end of the day, she wanted to see me happy and are. I am mostly, mm-hmm. . Well, I’m just glad that you remembered all those skills you learned in med school when it came time to stop that damn panic attack.

Well, I’m happy to help, but I still want you to follow up with your primary care physician, okay? Mm-hmm.

And if you aren’t seeking a therapist, I highly suggest it seems like you’re under a lot of stress lately. Oh, I have been. All my anxieties will melt away when Sloan Peterson is behind boss. For the last time, I had nothing to do. Remodeling a Paul’s tacky office. Would someone mind telling me what’s going on?

And here, Linda, thank God Cagney and Lacy here have been trying to railroad me for a crime that I didn’t commit. What you just asking her a few questions? Commissioner a word? Yeah.

Carry on. Detective. I’ll be right back.

You mind telling me why you’re questioning a prominent defense attorney in my police station? Prominent, first of all, it’s the Peoples police station, and second, she’s a suspect in. Which crime would that be? Well, someone broke into Paulina Price’s office and ransacked the place. What makes you suspect Ms.

Peterson? Come on, animosity with Mrs. Price is well documented. What’s the problem? Sloan Peterson has been a constant thorn in my side. If you send me this case to prosecute, it better be ironclad. I can’t appear to be using my office to go after a professional riv. Of course not. You would never do that.

Damn da.

I have somewhere to be. Don’t blow it this time, commissioner. Okay.

Finally. Trask told you to let me go, didn’t she? I don’t take orders from the DA, Ms. Peterson. Maybe not, but she’s gonna be the one who has to try the flimsy case. She managed to build against me in court. I already humiliated her once. I doubt she wants to go through that again. That’s what you’re all about, huh?

Winning or losing. What else is there? Well, it’s just really interesting to me that so far you’re zero for. When going after Pauline and Chanel? Good point, detective. That’s right. Both the criminal and civil cases were thrown out. I must have upset you son. That would make me want to even the score.

I’m curious. This is this whole bad cop, bad cop thing. Usually work out for you guys. That’s from where I’m sitting. It’s just so boring.

Now I see why Salem’s so full of criminals running around this with you two idiots in charge. Where were you last night? Home. Can you verify that? Because it’s not, that doesn’t count an alibi. Were you alone, Ms. Peterson? Can someone vouch for the fact that you were home at the time that Pauling, his office was broken into?

Listen, you’re gearing up for round two. Save it. I don’t have the time to the energy. I know this may surprise you, but I don’t relish in fighting with you either, especially since you’ve gotten so good with hitting below the belt. Yeah. There’s only so much one can take before he starts fighting back.

Says the guy who literally preached about turning the other cheek, that guy lost his calling. He lost his baby. He lost his mom, his aunt, his stepmom, and the woman he loved. And when once someone’s faced with that over and over again, I say he doesn’t have another cheek to turn.

Am I interrupting something?

Please, Gabby, don’t be in this room.

What the hell are you doing with my wife? What the hell, Lee? Save your outrage for the next loser. Whose wife you try to steal. Sorry there buddy, but uh, just shut up. I know you’re under there. Gabby, at least have the decency to come out and face me. All right, fine. Happy now. Whoops.

I am. I don’t understand. Oh, we should never explained it to you. You see when a boy bee likes a girl bird thing. Okay, what the hell’s going on here? Lee, you’re the one who burst into this room. You tell me. Yeah. How did you get in here anyway? Do the people of. No, you’re sleeping with a member of the Demer crime family.

sorry. We’re a crime family. Now what I do off the clock is my business, and you are the last person who should be casting stones, considering you used the family’s mad scientist, a Brainwasher man, and keep him away from his wife. She’s talking about me. Mm-hmm. , by the way, Lee, you still haven’t explained why you walked in here screaming about.

Why did you think your wife would be in here? You’re the one responsible for keeping us apart. Remember? Yeah. I’m still wondering how you got a copy of the room key. Maybe that’s something I should look into once I’m back on the clock. That’s a good idea. Until then if like, excuse me, I’d like to go back to enjoying my evening.

Why are you just standing there gaping at us? It’s kind of creepy. I wasn’t even aware you knew each other. Oh, I’ve had my eye on this one for quite some time. We bumped into each other and sparks flu. Hmm. A woman has needs. And I’m a sucker for a powerful man since you’ve made it next to impossible for me and Gabby to reunite you.

And I might as well move on with her. Yeah. You gonna throw him out or? Shall I? That won’t be necessary. I’ll go.

You’re welcome.

We don’t have all night Ms. Peterson. Is there anyone who can confirm your alibi or not? I was at home. . In other words, no, I’m sorry that I don’t have a witness whenever I’m in my apartment. But then again, it really doesn’t seem like you guys have evidence, fingerprints. I maybe some d n of course not because I wasn’t there.

I didn’t vandalize Paulina Price’s office. Just like you didn’t vandalize sweet bits a few months ago. You know? Are we done here? You guys have no grounds to hold me on and absolutely no proof of me committing any crime.

All right, you’re free to go. Thank you for this colossal waste of my time and the taxpayer’s money. Yeah. Well, one more thing before you go. What if you are harassing Pauline and her daughter? It ends. You’re on our radar. Your radar. Yeah. We’re watching you. Every move. Give you so much as cut. Paulina Orch, elephant traffic.

Your ass will be back here. Mm-hmm. . And next time we press charges, Hmm. Well you better hope that there’s not a next time because this is blatant harassment. And if you continue to use the Salem Police Department to bully me on behalf of your boss, mayor Carver, then I will make it my life’s mission to make sure that the two of you can’t even work security at the Salem Mall.

And all my experience, once you start having panic attacks, they don’t normally go all the way on their own child. Please, I’ve survived an abusive partner. Give me up my firstborn daughter, losing my husband, and any kind of trauma that you can name, I don’t get through this, mama. You don’t have to act tough.

I am tough now that I know what this is. I’ll deal with it. There’s no shame in getting a little help. I’m fine. Look, I’ve seen it way too many times. Okay. Black women stressed and anxious suffering in silence cuz they think they have to be strong all the time. Don’t worry, I will make sure that mama follows up even if I have to make the appointment and drive her there myself.

Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, let’s not forget who the mom is around here.

Is there a reason why the two of you keep showing up in my family’s restaurant, Eric, is that any way to treat paying customers, especially in this, I don’t care. What would dear Sweet Mob Brady say about that? She would say that sometimes the money. isn’t worth it. Sometimes the customers aren’t worth the trouble.

As delightful as this has been, I have somewhere I need to be. You’re not even going to take our order. I’m still looking forward to a robust bowl of your famous Goul. Oh, . Sorry. Shout. I’ll be sure to send over one of my servers. By the way, leave a nice tip.

I don’t think he’s sending over a so, huh uh, right. Yeah. Soap. Oh, what did Agnes, nothing important. So, so did you hear from Lee? Not yet, but I think the poor fellow is somewhere licking his wounds after finding Stephan on top of Gabriela poor underneath . By either way, now that Lee is reclaiming his shares from Gabby.

She’ll never be a threat to my reign.

What’s the matter? You seem surprised to see me.

Are you okay? It looked like you’ve seen a ghost. You do remember? I live here too. Yeah. I, um, I just wasn’t expecting to see you. Why not? I, um, I figured you’d, uh, still be out with Nicole. How is the business dinner? Oh, you’re not gonna believe this. Try me. Nicole had no intention of discussing potential fashion partnerships.

Then why’d she invite you out? Get this the whole thing with a setup.

Come on. All right. If dress is on her way, you think you can twist her? No, but she hates EJ as much as anybody else besides, I think she has a little bit of a crush on me. Oh, great. EJ thinks he’s got one over on us. It’s time for UJ to know he’s playing checkers and we’ve been playing chess. All right.

Well, good luck. Who needs luck when I have you. I love you, Stephan. I love you too. Okay. This will happen again soon. I just, I don’t wanna be here when me s

Thank you again for doing this. Oh, it was actually kind of fun. I dabbled in a little theater when I was in college. Mostly one acts, but they kept casting me as the villain. Go figure. Well, I mean, once being in a courtroom, but one big performance. Right? And he really brought down the house tonight. Oh.

Anything to cause harm to ej. God deserves to suffer after he helped your psycho sister Kristin of a justice. My family really does make your life more d. I don’t know how you stand them. Your brother pretending to want to help you and Gabby be together only to set you up . That’s how we Dara’s role. My God knows Gabby’s not my favorite person in the world, but.

That’s just vi indeed. But thanks to you, EJ was the big loser tonight. Just wish I could be there when he realizes we got the better of him.

Oh, I’d much prefer a bottle of vco, but any Putin stone. Elvis, just make the toast to Stefan and Gabriela. May their I prudent reunion solidify my hold on mirror for generations to come.

Oh. Well, well thanks for nothing, commissioner. Glad to see my tax dollars is going right in the toilet. Oh, what happened? And Jayla let Sloan walk right out of the police station. No charges nothing. That woman is free to terrorize our family with no consequences. Okay, mama, calm down. You’re eating all worked up again.

Damn right. I’m getting worked up. Okay, but you don’t wanna have another panic attack. Look, Chanel is right in this price. Paulina, remember to breathe. Yes, yes, yes. I’m breathing. I’m breathing.

Uh, where are you? Um, I’m gonna go grab a few things in my office. It will, I’ll drive you. No, no, that’s okay. I’ve got a driver. Are you sure? Yes, yes. I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m okay. Tyler. Thanks again. Thank you for all of your help. Of course. You ladies, you, you have a nice, nice,

you get my message. Are you okay? What happened at the. A complete waste of my time is what happened at the station. Once I pointed out that they had no evidence tying me to the break in the Paul’s, they had to let me go believe you that you didn’t do it. No. I still think that Rafe and your delightful ex believe I’m guilty.

Are you? Am I what? Guilty. Did you do it?

Nicole took me out to Tri Act all friendly with me. She even said she’s sneaking me into the Salem. In the Salem in, yeah, for a secret. Ron David with Stephan. What’d you say? Well, I refused, of course. I told her I’m married to you. You know, from what I’m getting. Nicole’s working with ej, you know, they were hoping that I would take the bait, catch me cheating, and then wrap me out to you.

I see as if I would risk losing all your dememer shares for some role in the hay. You weren’t. A deal’s a deal. I am your committed and faithful wife, at least until the end of our agreed upon term. Listen, I’ve had a really long day. I’m gonna have to bet you in the morning.

Oh, as fun as this was, I better get going. Tell your girlfriend she owes me one. We both do. I am well aware and I intend on calling in my marker. The second, the two of You’re in control of Dira, what are you looking for? I don’t know. Um, seat on the corporate board. Sizable donation to the foundation I set up in my daughter’s honor.

Whatever you want is yours. Oh, be careful what you promised, Stephan. You know I wasn’t lying to Lee when I said. I’ve had my eye on you for quite some time. Mm-hmm. , , , flattering as that is my heart and all my other body parts. belong to Gabby. Well, I hope she knows how lucky she is. I’m the lucky one. Well, I also know that she’s kind of a train wreck when it comes to relationships.

So if things don’t work out between the two of you, oof, you know where to find me.

I’m curious about something, right? When Lee burst through the door, I mean, Stephan had to know that we set him up, not assume, okay, so he’s not gonna be very happy with either one of us, but you’re his brother. He’ll get over it. And I’m willing to sacrifice our brotherly bond to make sure Gabby never gets her grubby little fingers on anything else of mine.

So are you going to tell me why Eric had his niggers in the twist earlier? Ah, well, no surprise. Turns out his girlfriend Sloan is as crooked as her clients. Yeah. Wow. Mm-hmm.

you think I trashed Pauline’s office? I’m not saying you did it with your own hands. You could have hired somebody to do your work. You’re unbelievable. I’m not judging you, but when I think about those responsible for taking away my mother, there’s. Telling you how much I want them to suffer in every way.

Fine. You need me to say it. I’ll say it. I didn’t trash Paulina’s office. I didn’t pay someone to trash Paulina’s office. I’m innocent.

Okay.

I.

You should go on home. I will. I’m just looking through the evidence from Paulina Price’s file. Anything we missed? No. I really wanted to get something to nail that SMUGs Sloan Peterson. Yeah, I hear you should have heard Pauline’s voice on the phone when I told her that we had to release Sloan. We’ll get her next time.

Bus. Yeah. Yeah. If he plans for tonight. Oh yeah. Exciting. I was thinking of heading home, you know, mashables loose and then dine in on some leftover pizza with a side of general SO’S chicken. Oh, a coincidence. I was gonna do the same while dining on a frozen lasagna with a side of frosted pop tar. E Frosted.

Oh, look at you fancy pants. , , Damaris, and Kiki ain’t got nothing on you? Nope.

Uh, good night. Yeah, Janet,

thanks for being so good with my mom earlier. She doesn’t like listening, does she? Not really her thing. But you did gain her trust and mine. If you weren’t there, I might’ve had a panic attack myself. . I’m just glad she’s okay. Yeah. You worried about her? Yeah, I, she, she puts on this brave front, but I can tell that this message Sloan is really starting to get to.

I just, I dunno how much more she can take.

Oh, what a damn mess. Only an animal would do something like this. Oh, oh, what is this? This wasn’t here before. Somebody must have got in the office after the police left.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

Willow, do you realize you’re only two days out from your procedure? I tried to tell her to stay home and rest. Later. Right now, this is exactly where I need to be. (Sighing) oh, I’m so glad to see you. Come in. Oh, come here! Hi, grandma! I’m officially cleared to donate my bone marrow to willow. That is such good news, such good news! God knows that we could use them, especially a day like today. You going to the memorial? Really? I couldn’t stand that people who’d openly wished britta ill attended her service. Aunt liesl, you are many, many things, but hypocrite is not one of them. Epiphany and I did nothing but butt heads. I’m not happy she’s gone, but I’m glad she died honorably. Just like britt. We should all be so lucky.

[Sighs] Boss. Want some company?


How are you doing, marshall? It doesn’t make sense that she’s gone. Well, unfortunately, pop, a lot of things in life just don’t make sense. You know, hanging out with epiphany was often the highlight of my work shift.

[Laughter] Yeah, I’m sure it was. We laughed so much when I was helping her prep for the mcats. I mean, I’m surprised we got anything done. But she pulled through, didn’t she? With your encouragement, marshall. You’re not just a nurse. You are epiphany johnson. You’ve been up to the crack of dawn studying for these mcats, girl, you got this. Thank you for the encouragement. Hey, I’m just stating facts. What if I don’t pass? So what? A valiant effort is not a failure. Far from it. It’s brave. Epiphany, it’s courageous. And it makes me so very proud of you. Right before epiphany took her mcats, she was scared. And she said that this was all my fault. And she was right. If it wasn’t for me, epiphany would still be here. I just want to see how you’re holding up. What do you think, does this look right here? Because I could put it over there. I think it’s perfect. The fact that you pulled this all together on such short notice-it’s impressive, to say the least. It’s not like you really had a choice. Epiphany had it in her will that I would get to organize her celebration. Still bossing around from the afterlife, I see. Yeah.

[Chuckles] Although that was before everything had to come out about what I had done. She must have been so disappointed in me. I just wish she could have focused on being at johns hopkins and her future and not-hey. Hey, epiphany was driving home. And there was an accident on the side of the road, and she jumped in to help, just like you’d expect her to. Yeah. Yeah, she was being the epiphany we all knew and loved. I just wish I could have made it right with her. I had a feeling I’d find you here. Back when we were sort of, almost, kind of dating, you’d always wallow in here when you’re sad. I’ve earned a right to a little wallowing. Don’t you think? Epiphany was my friend. This vital presence, and now, she’s just gone. (Voiceover) now, I also understand that she’s not the only patient that you snapped at lately. You snap at people all the time. Well, that’s different. Why? Because I said so. Now, I want an explanation. Is there something going on with you? Ok, I may have been down in the dumps ever since things went so spectacularly south with brad. You can do better. I’m sorry for bringing that stuff to work. Wait. What’d you say? I said, you can do better. No, she’s not. No one’s ever really gone, as long as you hold onto her. In here.

[Cries] Look at this place-caring for the people of port charles for 60 years. Can you believe it? These walls-they’ve seen everything. Yeah. And I’m afraid today is going to be a hard one. General hospital’s lost one of its best. I couldn’t agree more. But here we are. We’re still standing. [Chuckles] Sometimes barely. Still something to be grateful for. And we have to keep going until we can’t anymore. I believe epiphany would want that. Diane! Hello, laura. Hi, robert. I didn’t think I’d be seeing you today. Well, epiphany asked me to be the executor of her will. I just have one final thing to do before the memorial. Yeah. A grind never stops, does it? (Laughing) no. I actually can’t stay very long either. I have to fill in for the deputy mayor while she’s indisposed. Is there any update on her whereabouts? Uh, well, I acquired some assistance the other night and diane helped me. Did I ever.

[Chuckles] Oh, yeah, she can be trusted. She’s a friend. High praise. Right. Well, I’d better get inside. I’ll see you in there. I look forward to it. Well.

[Laughs] You seem a little happier than you were before. Does this have something to do with diane? Hmm? Well.


What are you talking about? Hmm? What’s your fault? I pushed epiphany to go into med school. That’s a good thing, pop. If she hadn’t taken mcats, if she hadn’t gotten into johns hopkins, she wouldn’t have been on the road the other night, and she wouldn’t have seen that accident. And she’d still be here with us. No. No, no. Marshall, you reignited her dream, and she attained her dream. She got to prove to herself that all those people were wrong all those years ago who said that she couldn’t do it, and she did it! She actually did it! Think about how amazing that is and how many people really get to have that kind of satisfaction. Before epiphany passed, any semblance of self-doubt, of regret, that she had been carrying around for decades-that lifted off of her. And I’m gonna tell you right now, that’s a gift. And if I know epiphany, I know in my heart that she wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

[Sobbing] It’s good to see you, milo. You, too, boss. I wish it was under different circumstances. Man, uh, epiphany was one of a kind. I’m so lucky I got to have her in my life. You know what? Epiphany was lucky, too. (Voiceover) you think I’m trying to change you? Aren’t you? Not even close. I took you the protein shack because it’s where I like to go. It never occurred to me to try anywhere else. But if I made you feel that you’re not good enough for me, I am so sorry. It’s just the opposite. I worry all the time if I’m good enough for you. And as for the way you look, you are beautiful inside and out, epiphany. That’s why I asked you out. I wouldn’t change a thing. You ok? (Crying) yeah. I’m just grateful for all the memories. What about you, boss? How’s everything going? You mean the business? You know, things are a little dicey. I’m happy to step in again if you need more help, you know, more hands on deck, just for old time’s sake. I appreciate that, but you’re one of the rare ones that got out-and lived. Let’s keep it that way. Dr. Obrecht, just the person I was looking for. May I help you? Indeed. As the executor for epiphany johnson’s will, I’ve been given a specific set of instructions for you. They are time-sensitive and must be completed today. By me? Yes. But nurse johnson and I despised one another. Well, be that as it may, epiphany johnson apparently felt you were the only one to be trusted with this job. Aunt liesl, what does it say? Epiphany was important to me. I understand that, willow. It’s just-without her support, I may never have gone into nursing. I’m considering applying to the nursing program. I’d still be able to work with kids, and maybe some of my experience as a teacher would translate. Hmm, well, the world always needs more good nurses. But you have to go back to school start from scratch. Oh, I know that. I didn’t think there would be any shortcuts. I’m just kind of at a crossroads. I’ll tell you what. If you still want to talk about it, you know where to find me. I don’t think I ever told her how much I appreciated that. I just want to attend the service and light a candle for my friend. And then, I will head straight back home. Promise. Can I count on you to help me do this? Oh, my gosh. You can count on us for anything. Always. We’re with you all the way. How come you’re here? I just want to see you before heading to epiphany’s memorial. Oh, gosh! Mom and dad really wanted to come, but sadly, they couldn’t get away from work. Of course not. Doctors, they’re always so busy trying to save people’s lives, right? Right. Anyways, I decided just because they kind of fly out didn’t mean that I couldn’T. So this young lady booked herself a flight. Of course she did. Wow. I can’t believe you’re sitting here right in front of me. Happy surprise? Oh, it’s the absolute happiest. Oh, come here.


Diane! Oh, my gosh. How long has it been? Too dang long. Come here. How’s max? He’s doing good. And how are you? Pretty sad today. I’m so sorry about epiphany. Thank you, diane. It’s nice to see you. I know I said this when we spoke, but I’m really, really sorry for your loss. I know that you and epiphany had a very special relationship. It really hit home how precious life can be and how it can be gone like that. That’s why we have to be careful. It’s funny, because when I think of life like that, the impermanence of it all, it makes me want to stay close to the people that I love. I know we can’t spend a lot of time together until things settle down, sonny, but if you want company to the memorial, I would love to go with you. I’d like that very much. I think the readings are a mistake. If I cut them, then it leaves more room for people to speak. Hey, elizabeth, this whole service, this celebration, whatever you want to call it, it’s beautiful. But it needs to be perfect. Perfect. I need to make it up to her. I just wish I knew what she was thinking at the end. Maybe I can help with that. Were you a friend of hers? More like she was my guardian angel. Your dear friend epiphany died saving my life.


Grandpa? [Stammering] My little girl! I don’t mean to intrude. I just read about epiphany’s memorial service, and I just-I don’t even know what I was hoping to find. I just jumped in my car, and here I am. You were with her when she passed? We’ve been trying to piece together all the details. It was late. I was driving home after a double shift. I’m a nurse as well. The roads were a mess and visibility was even worse. And I didn’t even see the downed power line before i was practically on it. And I swerved to get out of the way, and then I crashed into a utility pole. It was so much smoke and fire. I was terrified. I can imagine. I managed to get out of the car, but I was in so much pain, and it was so much blood and-then I saw the headlights. Epiphany? She pulled over and she just ran to me. She was barking orders at 911 the entire way. That sounds about right. Epiphany knew that if she moved me, I would bleed out, so she just-she put pressure on my wounds, and she just-she just talked to me in that soothing voice that she had. And she said to me, she said, I promise you I will not leave your side until the paramedics are here. And she didn’T. If it wasn’t for your friend-I just couldn’t stop thinking about her. So I asked my colleagues at the hospital what happened, and they said that she collapsed at the site. They said she had some problem. There was so much smoke, that she had some kind of complications or-she had a pre-existing heart condition. And she didn’t even think twice about risking her own life to save a stranger? That was her. Epiphany was a true healer. Epiphany was a hero. Sorry for your loss. We all lost her, sonny. So did you. Oh, this is milo giambetti. It’s nice to meet you, mr. Ashford. I’ve heard great things. Epiphany spoke very highly of you. Thank you. Thank you for saying that. Sonny, you should head to the chapel. Milo, he said? Yeah. What a nice young man. How did he know epiphany? That’s epiphany’s ex-boyfriend. Yeah. She was full of surprises. Wow. Thank you for sharing with us. It means everything. And we’re-we’re very, very glad that you’re all right. Only because of epiphany. It’s comforting, knowing she left this world doing what she loved. Well, it looks to be about that time. All right. You’ll stay for the service, right? Oh, no, I should probably get going. I just-I just wanted epiphany’s loved ones to know what a brave and wonderful person she truly was. We already knew that. Look, please, stay. You drove all this way. Epiphany would want you here. You sure? Positive. Ok, I’ll stay. Who was that? Just one of the countless people who owe their life to epiphany.


thank you all for being here. How do you sum up the life of a person who has touched so many people in so many different ways? People fall into different categories. He’s the heart of the hospital. She’s the brains of the operation. The soul, the glue, the entertainer, the comforter-but not epiphany. No, ’cause she was all of those things wrapped up into one magnificent human being. She was firm and tender. She was a pragmatist, a dreamer. She was a taskmaster. And yet, she told her nurses to take as many mental health days as necessary. There’s a whole host of contradictions that, for some reason, never really seemed to conflict with each other. Fitting that today is just another one of those contradictions. It’s a celebration of her life while our hearts collectively break, mourning a woman who was a mentor, a best friend, someone we all considered family. So what are your plans for tonight? Well, franco has this session and-I didn’t ask you what franco’s plans were. I asked you what your plans were. What are you, the bride-to-be, going to be doing on the night before her wedding? Well, I was going to treat myself to a bubble bath and watch the last two episodes-oh, wrong, wrong, wrong. You’re going out with me for a drink. I’m going to miss her. But I am also flooded with gratitude, because who’s luckier than us to have known and loved and been loved by epiphany? No one’s luckier. Epiphany had a gift for connecting people, for telling them the truth, even when the truth was scary. When I first became a nurse, I was afraid of caring for terminal patients. I didn’t know how to be with them. Tiffany showed me by example. She got me to push past my fear, so I could help those who need me. She was generous with her time, her spirit, and our wisdom. I had my credentials when I got here, but it was epiphany who taught me how to be a nurse. I didn’t know epiphany as long as a lot of people in this room. But the impact that she had on my life-it was indescribable. We were work colleagues. We got along great. She got along great with everyone. But there was a time when she risked everything to protect my daughter and her father. And I think that that speaks to her character. We became great friends after that. And eventually-eventually, she-she became a part of my family. My father once told me, it’s the people who show up at your darkest moments-those are your real friends. God knows I’ve been through some dark moments. You know how much I hate being in this chair, right? Now, it’s time to take it to the next level. I’ll be the judge of that. Just watch. Hold my hand. You stubborn son of a bitch! Look at you! Look at you! If that’s the measure of true friendship, then epiphany was my best friend. It’s hard to imagine general hospital without epiphany. She’s certainly been here for as long as I can remember. It won’t be the same without her. Epiphany was a truthteller. If she liked someone, then they were worth having them in your life, but if she didn’t, it was probably best to avoid them. But epiphany allowed for growth. I think that was one of her best qualities in my opinion, because she believed people could change. They could get stronger, wiser, just better. And that’s a good thing, because i was one of those people. Epiphany ran to my rescue so many times-a lot of people’s rescue.


ladies and gentlemen-gentlemen, before we all rush away, one last piece of business. When I agreed to be epiphany’s executor for her will, she gave me a small but very specific set of instructions for today, but chief among them being that I escort you all to the roof. So please, will you all follow me? You coming? Yeah, I’ll be up in a minute. I have a note for all of us from epiphany. I have to imagine some nice things were said about me today, and tears were probably shed, which I can appreciate, of course. But you know that’s not how I lived my life, even in the darkest of times. I held on to the joy whenever I could, so be sad if you need to be. Safe travels, my worthy adversary. But I would much rather go out with a bang.

[Explosions] No way! Oh, my god. Leave it to epiphany. It’s beautiful. Go out with a bang, you did. Um, boss? Yeah? Correct me if I’m wrong, but these fireworks are-highly illegal, yes. I couldn’t hear that. The fireworks were so loud.

[Laughter] Monica? Am I disturbing the memorial? No, no, no. It just ended. Are you all right? Ugh, I’m fine. I’m just terribly disappointed I couldn’t be at epiphany’s memorial. If I hadn’t been the keynote speaker, I would have backed out. Well, epiphany of all people would appreciate you keeping your commitment. I imagine she would, which brings me to why I’m calling. Diane miller paid me a visit just before I left, and she dropped off a sealed letter that was written by epiphany a few days ago-one she intended to hand-deliver to the review board on your behalf. So she did write a letter of support? I just finished reading it, and i had to share it with you. “Elizabeth baldwin is an extremely talented and dedicated nurse. And watching her grow from a rookie to the leader amongst her peers has been one of the greatest privileges of my life. Her commitment to healing knows no bounds. And part of that commitment requires making snap judgments in the moment, assessing tricky situations, and deciding in real time how best to handle them. I believe that’s what elizabeth was doing when she made the choice to treat esme prince while in captivity. Was that choice the right one? Ultimately, no, as is often the case with snap decisions like that. But the thing that separates the good healers from the great ones is accountability. Elizabeth didn’t run from her responsibility. She ran towards it, which makes her the best of us. In fact, it had always been my intention to recommend she be named head nurse when I depart for medical school this fall. I stand by that recommendation now more than ever. Elizabeth has always made me proud, and she’ll make general hospital proud, too.” Elizabeth? Are you still there? Yeah, I’m still here. Well, that’s quite a recommendation, if you ask me. And who am I to deny epiphany’s last wish? Wait, are you saying that-I plan to present the idea to the board at the end of the month. Having another hardy-slash-march from the 10th floor sounds right, don’t you think? Thank you, monica. Thank you. Don’t thank me. Thank epiphany. You take care, elizabeth. Thank you, epiphany. For everything. I love you. You’re not alone you’re not alone anymore you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore I know you think there’s no way out like you’ve been living in the dark but you don’t have to feel alone I know you’re reaching up for the sky and you keep searching for that but you don’t have to search anymore we’ll be the hands to hold you up we’ll be the eyes to help you see we are here we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here we are now we are one you know who I am? My patient.

[Laughs] Magic milo, you disappoint me. Gotta leave something to the imagination.

[Chuckles] Oh, I’ll be imagining. Are you asking me out on a date? Are we going to sing karaoke on that date? No. I have a boyfriend. Good ones do. And he’s not too hard on the eyes either. Don’t you mess with the nurse’s ball. You wouldn’T. Wouldn’t I? Did I or did I not assign you to bedpan duty? Yeah, but-but what? No running. Jason was someone I respected. He respected you, too. I never doubted that.

[Laughter] I’d go a long way to protect the people that I love, and you, my sweet, are on that list. We are here, we are now we are one you are the strength inside our hearts you are the reason we believe we are here we are now we are one you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore you’re not alone you’re not alone anymore

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Diane: I should do the world a favor and strangle you to death!

Jack: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! What is going on?!

Kyle: Hey! Hey!

Phyllis: Oh, my god!

[ Breathing heavily ] What do you think’s going on here? She’s trying to kill me! You saw it. You saw her trying to kill me. Oh, this is unbelievable.

[ Breathing heavily ] Unbelievable. You — you stay away from me. You hear me?

[ Coughing ]

Chelsea: You really picked the right girl to go to the gala with. I know how to live it up.

Billy: Seems like a perfect night to me.

Chelsea: Overdressed, sipping earl grey at the coffee house?

Billy: The only thing that would make this night better would be if I was in my slippers ’cause I’m ready to ditch the tux.

Chelsea: But you look so good in that tux. Don’t let it go to waste. Honestly, go back to the party. All your friends, all your family are there.

Billy: I see those people all the time. Too much, actually. This is exactly where I want to be.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Daniel: You know, I’m glad things have finally taken a turn for the better between you and devon.

Lily: Yeah, me too. And thank you for being so supportive through the lawsuit. I know it was a lot.

[ Chuckles ]

Daniel: That’s what friends are for.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] And I promise I will share all of the details of what happened. I just — I really want to enjoy this moment right now.

Daniel: I’m all for that.

Lily: I don’t know. I finally feel like everything is not falling apart anymore. You know? I finally feel…like, hopeful.

Summer: It’s just you and me right now. Tell me what was really going on in there.

Phyllis: Isn’t that clear? Diane was trying to kill me. It’s not obvious to you?!

Summer: I’m just trying to understand what led up to that. Like, why have you been acting so weird tonight? One minute you’re giving me this speech about how proud you are of me…

Phyllis: What? That’s weird to you, that I’m proud of my daughter?

Summer: Well, the next thing I know, you’re in some secret hotel room fighting with diane. I — I’m just trying to figure out why the two of you were in there to begin with.

Phyllis: I have worked so hard.

[ Laughs ] I’ve worked so hard. Oh, god. I’m working so hard to convince everybody who diane really is and no one’s believed me and I’ve lost everything. I’ve lost everything. I’ve lost my children. I’ve lost my job. I’ve lost everything. I-I — I’m tired. I’m so tired.

Summer: Okay.

Phyllis: Oh, my god.

Summer: That doesn’t explain why you were in there with her.

Phyllis: I wanted to work things out with her. Oh, summer, I wanted to work things out with her. I saw her walking upstairs. I wanted to pull her in to a suite so we could talk. And look at you, looking at me with suspicion. That breaks my heart. But I have wanted to work things out with diane because I saw how crazy it’s gotten. I wanted to clean the slate with her, that’s all.

Summer: So, what went wrong?

Phyllis: I don’t know. It was her. She has this power, this false power now, you know, that she’s living at the abbott mansion and she’s close to my daughter and she’s the one who can’t stand that I know who she really is.

She’s the one who has hatred with me!

Summer: Mom, stop! (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Summer: I can’t listen to this again. It is the same story over and over. It’s like you think if you tell it enough times that it’ll become true, but — I want to believe you. I wish that I could.

Phyllis: You never will. You’ll never believe me.

Summer: Mom, wait.

Phyllis: No. You stay away from me. Okay?

Jack: Are you alright? At least physically?

Diane: I-I-I think so.

Jack: What the hell did we just walk in on?

Diane: Phyllis tricked me into coming up here. She said that kyle was — was really sick a-and that he was asking for me and then when i got in here, she just kind of attacked me in some sort of fit of rage.

Kyle: What would make phyllis go off like that?

Diane: I mean, who knows? She’s psychotic. My mere presence sets her off.

Jack: Okay, whatever happened, it was clearly traumatic, and we have to deal with this situation. First of all, I don’t think we should announce our engagement tonight.

Diane: No. No, phyllis is not going to take this from me. She is not going to ruin tonight. Jack — jack, I’m — I’m fine. I’m — I’m better than fine. I’m — I’m fantastic. So, just, um — just let me fix myself up and then I’ll meet you downstairs and we can announce our love to the world. Okay?

Audra: Excuse me. Oh. Uh, excuse me? Okay. Uh, hello? Hi. Um, could I — okay.

[ Cellphone vibrating ] Um… hmm.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Abby: You alright?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. I am.

Abby: What’s going on? Are you having second thoughts about dropping the lawsuit?

Devon: No. No, not at all. It was the right thing to do. I’m just overwhelmed by this whole night, really. In a good way.

Abby: I understand.

Devon: Yeah. I was thinking about taking off, though, and heading home.

Abby: Oh. Well, I’ll go with you.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I know you like parties like this.

Abby: Yeah, but I would rather be with you.

Devon: Yeah?

Abby: And besides, I want to hear what brought on this truce between you and lily — if you want to talk about it.

Kyle: That was…

Jack: I know. I know.

Kyle: Look, phyllis is always the one stirring up trouble, but mom was out for blood.

Jack: Yeah, that’s why i wanted to call it a night. What we just saw is a version of diane I thought was long gone. It’s unsettling.

Kyle: Look, are you having second thoughts about the engagement?

Jack: I don’t know what i think. Look, I love your mother. I want to spend the rest of my life with her, but I worry this is all going too quickly and the stress is too much for her.

Kyle: Yeah, she was definitely enraged. Look, on the other hand, if phyllis used my son as some kind of ploy to get me alone, I would flip, too, especially if i thought harrison was sick or in trouble. Look, mom was rushing to that suite because she was worried about me. Her adrenaline was pumping, and phyllis ambushed her. That’s enough to send anyone over the edge.

Jack: Right. Migraine hits hard, so u hit back with ubrelvy

Devon: Just seeing this jazz club being dedicated to neil is what changed everything for me. And you did that. You have no idea how much it meant to me and lily. It’s what’s reunited us more than anything else. So, thank you.

Abby: Well, it was a very tough secret to keep, but knowing that it brought you and lily together…

Devon: It means everything.

You mean everything.

Nick: So, how are you feeling?

Sally: Uh, fine. Yep. Great.

Nick: Yeah?

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Because you are clutching that mask like it’s some kind of shield.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Any chance the shield will fend off these questions?

Nick: Nah. No way. Talk to me.

Sharon: Here you go.

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

Sharon: I haven’t had this much fun in a while.

Adam: Yeah, it’s a great party.

Sharon: Yeah?

Adam: No.

Sharon: You know, you’re gonna to have to get used to looking at nick and sally. But it can’t be that bad. You’re holding a glass of champagne in your hand and you have a very pretty date — moi.

[ Both chuckle ]

Adam: I know. Thank you for coming, sharon. You know, I’m grateful that you accepted. I’m lucky to know you. I-I — to have you in my life for as long as I have, even when I have made some decisions that make me a difficult man to know.

Sharon: What is going on in that mind of yours now?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Uh, what you’re hearing is the sound of crashing of waves and waves of regret.

Sharon: For what?

Adam: For being a jackass for most of my life. For putting myself in a position where people that I care about can’t stand me. Except you. For some reason, you still put up with me. Why?

Diane: Okay, I’ve pulled myself together and I’m ready to enjoy the rest of the evening with my favorite fellas. So, let’s get this train back on the tracks.

[ Sighs ] Look, I — I know that that was ugly upstairs, and I do apologize, but I am just — I’m ready to move forward.

[ Sighs ] I see you’re not.

Kyle: I’m relieved you and phyllis walked away unscathed, but we still aren’t really clear what led to the fight

Diane: Kyle, I texted you to see if you were okay before i went up there. And then the fact that you didn’t answer made me think that what phyllis had said was actually true.

Kyle: What? You texted me?

Diane: Yes.

Kyle: I didn’t get a text.

[ Sighs ]

Jack: What?

Kyle: I lost my phone. Again.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Audra: Uh, sorry for the interruption. Hi. Um… yeah, so, uh, you know, I — you know, I — I was wondering if you know who this phone belongs to because it keeps ringing and the bartender is too swamped to try and find its owner.

Ashley: Audra charles, right? Ashley abbott. But then I’m sure you already know that. This is kind of fun. Isn’t it, tucker? I finally get to meet your co-conspirator.

Audra: [ Chuckles ] I do indeed know quite a bit about you.

Ashley: I’m sure you do. And still, that’s not even half of it.

Tucker: Uh, I don’t know whose phone that is. Do you, ashley?

Audra: Fair enough. I will continue my rounds as a good samaritan.

Ashley: Actually, that is my nephew kyle’s phone.

Audra: Oh, great. Yeah. Thanks. Um, I will get it to him. I’ve actually been looking for a reason to make kyle abbott’s acquaintance.

Ashley: Huh. Bye. Gee, I don’t know why, tucker, but I just — I just don’t trust her.

Traci: Oh, you look fabulous!

Michael: Ah!

Lauren: Okay, my turn!

Gina: You do, too, sweetheart.

Lauren: My turn, my turn, my turn! Oh, I’m so glad you came for this. And had I known, I would have — hi, darling — I would have had you cater the entire event.

Gina: Can you believe it? I’ve been here 30 seconds and she wants to put me to work already.

Lauren: Of course.

[ Laughs ]

And that’s because the last time I was in los angeles, I ate at your restaurant.

[ Gasps ] The food was to die for.

Gina: Okay, well, then that settles it. The next reunion is gonna be at my place out west.

Lauren: Yes.

Michael: Ooh!

Lauren: Yes, yes! [ Laughs ]

Gina: I’m just glad that we both could be here for this.

Danny: Yeah. Whenever the opportunity to get the old band back together comes a-knockin’, guess what. I answer the door!

Leanna: Did genoa city’s homegrown rock star just hint at a reunion tour?

Michael: Oh. Leanna. Is eavesdropping what counts for journalism these days?

Leanna: Well, keeping my ear to the ground is definitely part of it. Care to comment on the rumors?

Danny: Uh…I would not.

Leanna: You know, I-I hate to bring this conversation to a screeching halt, but could somebody tell me what’s going on between my nephew and lily winters? I can see the sparks from here.

Daniel: You know, you were never gonna lose everything. At least, not me.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] You have no idea how comforting it is to know that you always have my back.

Daniel: You always have mine. You helped bring me back from one of the darkest points in my life.

Lily: Well, I am thankful that we’ve been able to be there for each other.

Daniel: You know, you are one of the strongest and most vibrant people I have ever known. I don’t think I ever want to live a life in which you’re not a part of it. My advice, in this one very specific case

Danny: Hi, bud.

[ Laughs ]

Daniel: Dad. Hey!

Danny: Hey.

Daniel: Hey!

Lily: Hi.

Danny: Hi.

Lily: Welcome home.

Danny: Thank you.

[ Sighs ]

Daniel: Are you cutting in?

Danny: Oh, uh, well, kind of. Can I borrow my son for a second?

Lily: Uh, yes, of course. I will get some champagne.

Daniel: Thank you.

Sharon: I put up with you because it’s easier now that there are no lingering feelings and no expectations or disappointments. We’re just free to enjoy our friendship with one another. Having a child with someone is, um, a lot different. It’s very, very complicated. You end up having to rely on each other in a lot of different ways, and I know you ran into some difficulties in co-parenting with chelsea.

Adam: Yeah. Especially recently. I mean, before her incident.

Sharon: But you overcame those difficulties because of your mutual love for connor, and I think that that will extend to your respect and care for each other.

Adam: It, uh — it did. It does for chelsea, but that doesn’t mean the same thing’s gonna happen with me and sally.

Sally: Well, once your baby’s born, I think your connection will get stronger because you have your child’s best interests at heart. You’ll share that in common. At least, that’s what’s happened in my experience.

Adam: Well, I hope you are right. But I’m not sure that anything’s gonna change for sally.

Sally: Okay, so, I almost feel like a part of genoa city, but then I’m here like this.

Nick: Yeah. Gorgeous. I get it. It is quite a burden.

Sally: [ Chuckles ] No, the baby bump. I feel like everyone is staring, and I can’t have a drink. And to be completely honest with you, I am absolutely starving.

Nick: Then let’s get out of here, go grab a cheeseburger.

Sally: Okay, you’ve never been hotter.

[ Both laugh ] But I don’t think there’s any way we can sneak out of here without anyone noticing, so i will stick it out a little bit longer. But just so you know, I am gonna be thinking about that cheeseburger the whole time.

Audra: Excuse me? Uh, kyle abbott? I found this on the bar. Your aunt told me it was yours.

Kyle: I just realized I had lost it. Thank you…?

Audra: Audra charles.

Kyle: Nice to meet you.

Audra: Likewise.

Summer: Hi. What’s going on here?

Kyle: Uh, this is audra. She found my phone.

Summer: Yeah, I know who she is. You’re the woman who emotionally destroyed my brother.

Audra: [ Stammers ] Noah and I, um… it was a complicated situation.

Summer: Thanks for the phone.

Kyle: Uh… [ Sighs ] I did get your text.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: I’m sorry I doubted you.

Diane: Tensions were high. I — I understand.

Jack: I owe you an apology, too. You walked right into phyllis’s lion’s den thinking you were protecting kyle. And I let my fear lead me to doubt your intentions. And I’m — I’m sorry. And it won’t happen again.

Daniel: It’s okay.

Jack: If you can find it in yourself to forgive me, I’d like to announce our engagement tonight.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] No forgiveness necessary.

Jack: Excuse me, everyone. Could I have your attention, please? Could you all find your way to the lounge? I have some fun news I want to share with you.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Jack: I can’t find the ring.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Compliments on your little scuffle with diane. From what I heard, it was a masterful performance.

[ Door closes ]

Phyllis: Did you hold up your end of the bargain?

Jeremy: You know, growing up in the streets of cleveland, you learn a lot of tricks. And pickpocketing is just the tip of the iceberg.

Phyllis: You’re an artful dodger, right?

Jeremy: Whew. It is a beauty, isn’t it? Huh.

Phyllis: Yeah, it is beautiful.

[ Scoffs ] It’s stunning.

Jeremy: You okay?

Phyllis: Yeah. I’m fine.

Jeremy: Good. Now comes the hardest but most important part. Are you ready?

Phyllis: Yeah. I’m ready. There’s no turning back now. Hey, man. You could save hundreds

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Music

Jack: We’ll be right there.

Diane: You can’t find the ring?

Jack: I put it in this pocket. It’s not there anymore.

Diane: Well, it must have fallen out. Maybe we can retrace your steps.

Traci: Hey! So, is this it, the big announcement?

Jack: Gina romalotti.

Gina: Ohh!

Jack: So good to see you!

Gina: As handsome and as debonair as ever.

Diane: Mm. Well, unfortunately for women everywhere, he’s officially about to be off the market.

Gina: Oh, so, this is that kind of an announcement? Oh, I see. Well, you’re finally gonna finish what you started all those years ago at gina’s place.

[ Both laugh ]

Diane: You know, we had so many amazing moments there, it’s really fitting that you’re here to share it with us.

Gina: Well, I’m — I’m honored.

Jack: You know, the plan was to make the announcement, but I —

Traci: No, no, no, no, no! No “buts,” no “buts.” I’m just so proud of you for — for accepting growth and change and finding love again. And you have come so far. In a world that mostly favors darkness, the two of you have found a ray of sunshine in each other.

Gina: Love wins. And let nothing stand in its way. You understand?

Traci: [ Laughs ] Come on. Let’s get on with it.

[ Chuckles ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: Yeah, why are we worried about a ring? It’ll show up. If it doesn’t, I’ll get you another one.

Diane: Well, I’m sure it was really expensive.

Jack: The ring is a symbol. What we have is what matters. I just promised the whole town a big announcement. I’d like to come through for them.

Diane: Gosh, I love you.

Jack: Oh, good.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Jack: ‘Cause I love you.

Diane: Aww.

Jack: Come on.

Diane: Let’s do it.

Chelsea: I’m still trying to figure out my impulses, you know, both good and bad, how I react to things. It takes me a minute to even know how I’m feeling.

Billy: You know, I could tell that you were struggling. I just didn’t know exactly what was going on in your head.

Chelsea: Yeah, you and me both.

[ Sighs ] You know, it’s not like it’s all mental, either. It becomes physical. Like, in that room, I could feel my cheeks burning and my — my shoulders got really tense.

[ Sighs ] I just saw a lot of voices and i saw a lot of faces and I didn’t know who to look at or who to listen to. And then it all becomes very ungrounding. I go into fight-or-flight mode. Not like I would physically fight, you know? I’m just saying, I…

[ Breathes deeply ] Tonight, flight won.

Billy: I get it. Look, at least we know now that this is a thing for you. And we can be prepared for it the next time. You know, the positive is we don’t go to a gala every day of our lives. So, there’s that.

Chelsea: Isn’t it a requirement of living in genoa city?

Billy: From now on, you got a get-out-of-gala free card.

Chelsea: [ Laughs ]

Billy: Look, chels, you don’t have to do anything that you don’t want to do. And if there is something that you want to do and the fear and the anxiety starts to rise, well, then we acknowledge it and we figure it out together.

Chelsea: You are not the man I knew even five years ago.

Billy: I hope that’s a good thing.

Chelsea: It’s a good thing.

Billy: Well, you’re not the woman I met all those years ago, either.

Chelsea: That’s definitely a good thing.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I’m really glad that we get the chance to get to know each other all over again, as the people we are now.

Daniel: What? What is that look on your face? You know what? Never mind. I-I already know. I’ve seen it before.

Danny: Look, I am worried about what’s going on with you and lily, okay?

Daniel: Well, I love you, dad, but I didn’t ask for your advice.

Danny: Well, unfortunately, it’s part of my fatherly duty to give it.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ]

Danny: Look, you told both your mother and me that you were going through a rough patch. Ending things with heather was hard. And I know you and lily have been close for a long time. It’s sometimes easy to find comfort in a reliable place. But let me tell you something. The fallout isn’t worth the aftermath.

Daniel: Says the rock star.

Danny: Exactly.

Daniel: Well, this is different.

Danny: Look, I’m just telling you — why don’t you put all your energy into yourself? You know, your goals, your dreams, the video game, the music we’re working on together. And if things are meant to go deeper with lily, you’ll have this foundation based on friendship, alright? But first, you’ve got to work on your own foundation. Do you understand? Hi, I’m jill and I’ve lost 56 pounds on golo.

Daniel: Listen, I appreciate your input when it comes to lily. I know it’s coming from the right place, but when it comes to my personal life, I got to make my own decisions.

Danny: Fair enough. I’ve said my piece. I will butt out now. Hey, what do I know anyway? I’m just, you know, your old man, right?

Daniel: Well, thank you. Thank you for butting out. It’d be a shame if I had to avoid both my parents.

Danny: I know that phyllis can be overbearing at times.

Gina: Now, that’s an understatement.

Daniel: Oh, my god. Hi! Hi.

Gina: You see, he’s realized that the best way to handle phyllis is with total avoidance. He is so wise, daniel.

Danny: Okay, one last piece of advice from the wisest of the romalottis — that would be me.

Gina: Oh, yeah.

Daniel: Okay.

Danny: Life is too short for grudges, especially against people we love and people who love us back. You understand?

Daniel: I spoke with her earlier. She did seem different.

Danny: I’m sure she’s feeling pretty lost right now, being on the outs with both you and summer. I just really hope you can find a way to get past this because at some point you’re gonna have to accept her for the way she is, the same way that you want to be accepted.

Daniel: Okay, I will talk to her. I will sit down, and we will figure this all out, just not tonight. But soon, okay?

Danny: That’s all I ask.

Gina: Okay, now that we’re done with this conversation, how about me? I want to talk about daniel…

Daniel: You want to talk —

Gina: …And lucy.

Daniel: Oh!

Gina: And I want some photographs.

Daniel: Oh, well, we’ve got photographs.

Gina: Let me see.

Daniel: I mean, photographs? You came to the right place for photographs.

Gina: It’s about time.

Daniel: Yeah.

Devon: Are you sure you don’t want to stick around for jack’s announcement?

Abby: No, no, that’s okay. I’m sure I’ll hear about it soon. I am related to pretty much everyone in that room, and word travels fast around here.

Amanda: It certainly does.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Victor: What the hell is this all about?

Nikki: Oh, who knows. Looks like diane is trying to play the part of the first lady.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Thank you all for giving me a couple of minutes of your time. First, I want you to join me in thanking my sister, traci abbott, nikki newman, lauren fenmore-baldwin, and michael baldwin for putting together this spectacular event.

[ Cheers and applause ] Who says the people of this town can’t work together, especially when it’s to create such a wonderful moment, a celebration of the place we all call home? Genoa city is where my parents chose to live their lives, where I have lived my entire life, where I raised my son kyle. And I could not be happier that kyle and his beautiful wife, summer, have chosen to raise their son, harrison, here as well. It is my dearest hope that my grandson will learn to cherish family and community, as generations of abbotts have before him.

[ Applause ] Now, let me be clear. Just as with all families, with all communities, it hasn’t always been simple. It hasn’t always been easy. We have definitely had our ups and downs, both as collaborators and competitors, as friend and foe. But make no mistake. The people of genoa city have more in common than they don’T. We all share the same blood. We all manage wisconsin winters.

[ Laughter ] We all have the same distinctly midwest value for hard work and kindness. We share a humanity, same loves and losses, the same heartache and hope. And we choose to live in this town together. And I am forever grateful for that.

[ Applause ] The people of genoa city know that in this town, you can grow, you can change, you can transform despite your mistakes, your flaws, your foibles. We all know we have the opportunity to live our very best lives. Every day I see the very best in the woman standing next to me. I know some of you don’t see what I do, but perhaps everyone is not meant to. But I know from the life I have lived, happiness can be elusive. When you find it, grab it and don’t let go. That is what I have done. That is what we have done. We have chosen happiness. We have chosen love. And we have chosen this evening to share our great news with you because we know, perhaps better than most, there’s nothing this town loves more than gossip.

[ Laughter ] So we are happy to provide it. Consider it a party favor. I am in love with diane jenkins. I have asked her to marry me.

[ Crowd gasping ] And she said yes.

[ Applause ] Ubrelvy helps u fight migraine attacks.

Chelsea: Well, I think i turned into a pumpkin an hour ago. I’m gonna head upstairs. Here you go.

Billy: Thank you. Well…sweet dreams.

Chelsea: Good night.

Billy: Chels, one more thing, just in case. Did I forget to tell you that you look beautiful?

Chelsea: I think you did.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] You look beautiful.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] Wow. It was even better the second time.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nick: You okay?

Sally: Yeah. It’s just, seeing someone so certain. That’s real love.

Victor: Just amazing, you know? To watch jack abbott commit one mistake after the other. It won’t be long because he and diane jenkins will blow up in some spectacular fashion. I promise you.

Nikki: Well, apparently i spent months putting this event together as an opportunity for them to steal the show.

Victor: Ohh. Well, and kind of funny, i think it is.

Nikki: Yeah. Ha ha.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Ashley: I think I’m gonna be sick to my stomach.

Tucker: Well, let’s get the hell out of here then.

Ashley: Oh, my god. You’re so right. Let’s go.

Tucker: Yeah.

Phyllis: Whoo! Yes! Yes!

[ Chuckles ] Let’s hear it for love! Whoo! Come on! Come on! Come on! Love! It’s me! Hi! Hey!

[ Sighs ] Well, let’s hear it for the future mr. And mrs. Jack abbott. Come on!

[ Applause ]

[ Dramatic music ]

Bill: You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No!

Ridge: No.

Bill: Sheila!

Ridge: She’s just fell off the balcony.

Chen: Agent Venice, subject down. Repeat, subject down.

Ridge: You have eyes on her? What just happened?


Sheila: Bill proposed. He wants to marry me. God, is this– is this really happening? Is this just too good to be true?

Hope: Hello, hello, hello.

Deacon: Hey.

Hope: Got time to spend with your favorite daughter?

Deacon: What, are you kidding me? It’s what I live for. Get over here. Hi.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Are you okay?

Deacon: Yeah. Why? What’s up?

Hope: I don’t know. I just feel like there’s maybe something more going on with you, Dad. Are you going to tell me what that is?


Hope: If something’s wrong, I’d like to know. Maybe I could help.

Deacon: What makes you think something’s wrong?

Hope: Well, Dad, come on. You’ve been pretty distracted and intense lately. I sometimes catch you brooding in that corner while you think no one’s watching.

Deacon: You know, running a restaurant’s a lot. I’m still learning. I’m making mistakes along the way. Just takes up a lot of real estate in the old brain.

Hope: Yeah?

Deacon: Yeah. I don’t want you worrying about me. I’ll get my sea legs, you know, feel in control of things soon enough.


Deacon: I don’t want my daughter worrying about me. Come on, what about you? You have got to be thrilled that Douglas is finally moving back home.

Hope: Well, yes, I am over the moon because it felt like a piece of my heart was missing the entire time he was gone. Makes me very worried about what I’m actually going to be like when they grow up and move out of the house.

Deacon: Luckily, you don’t have to worry about that for a while.

Hope: I know. He was only gone at Steffy’s for a few weeks and it feels like he came back three inches taller. Like, I feel like I missed so much.

Deacon: I know the feeling. My unsolicited advice, don’t dwell on the past. Look, your boy’s home right now. It’s kind of like martial arts. Just focus on what’s right in front of you. You know, that way you don’t miss anything else.

Hope: Oh, look at you. So wise and knowledgeable.

Deacon: Well, listen, you know, it was bound to happen sooner or later along this journey, right? Kicking and screaming most of the time, but still. I am kind of curious though. I mean, was there something specific that happened that– that led Douglas to want to come back home finally?

Hope: Yeah, actually. It was seeing Thomas and me getting along. Working well together and Douglas is a very perceptive young man and he picked up on that tension between Thomas and me regarding his custody and that’s why he chose to go live with Steffy instead of either of us. But we are in a good place now.

Deacon: And you think that’ll hold?

Hope: Yes, we function well when we’re working together and right now, we have a very full plate.

Deacon: Look, hey, I said it before. All right, I mean, I’m no angel. I think we both know that, I don’t want to come across as a hypocrite, but I’m your dad. I gotta ask, I mean, are you sure that Darth Thomas will keep himself from going to the dark side again and becoming completely obsessed with you like he did more than once?

Hope: Dad, he is in a better place now.

Deacon: You really believe that, huh?

Hope: Yes, because for once he’s actually backing it up with action instead of just words. And besides, I have made my position very, very clear. One backslide and he’s out of there and you know, whatever happens to my line happens. Dad, I am going to need you to trust me.

Deacon: I do trust you. I do trust you. All right, but I’m your dad. All right. It’s my job. I’m always gonna worry about you, but I want you to remember something, all right? You are Hope Freaking Logan and half of you is a Sharpe. You created this brand. If the worst should happen, you could build it again and you could do it without Thomas, so I need you to promise me something.

Hope: What’s that?

Deacon: The first sign of any inappropriate behavior by Thomas, you kick his ass to the curb. That way, I won’t have to.

Hope: Dad, I already promised Liam the same thing, so I have no problem promising that to you.

Deacon: Good, so what does everyone’s favorite vegan have to say about you and Thomas working together?

Hope: Well, he’s not thrilled to say the least.

Deacon: But, you know, I can understand that. But, you know, Hope, you’re– you’re an adult. You’re a grown woman. You know, you make your own decisions and choices. I mean, and all we can do is support you and, you know, hope they work out.

Hope: Thank you, dad. I– I appreciate that.

Deacon: I just hope that you working with Thomas doesn’t cause problems for your marriage.

Hope: Liam and I won’t let it. Nothing is more important than our family. And as for Hope For The Future, do I want it to succeed? You bet. I’ve spent too many years of my life pouring everything that I have into it.

Deacon: All right, then I guess all we can do is wish you all the luck in the world.

Hope: Thank you, Dad.

Deacon: Just be careful with that guy. All right. Look, I know– I know you trust him, but I ain’t there. Not even close.

Hope: Dad, you don’t need to worry about Thomas. Besides, not when we have someone like Sheila Carter still on the loose.


Bill: Where’s the phone? Where’s the phone? Where’s the phone?

[ Phone ringing ]

Ridge: Hey, what happened? Is she dead?

Bill: I thought she might be. I ran down to the lawn, she was gone.

Ridge: She’s gone?

Bill: Gone. She took the car, she’s gone. I’m gonna call you back.

Bill: I love you, Sheila. I’ve never seen anything like you. I don’t want you to get away. I want to give you everything you deserve.


Sheila: They were just lies. All lies. I’ve been so stupid.

Bill: Open up, you need to share with me. Tell each other everything, everything, everything.

Sheila: No!


Hope: I mean, I still can’t even believe that Bill and Sheila are together. That Bill is blackmailing Steffy and Finn, bribing a judge just so Sheila can be out of prison.

Deacon: Bill is full of surprises. You gotta give him that.

Hope: Yeah, well, you know, I see her sometimes. Sheila waltzing around Beverly Hills as if she’s entitled to some normal life. I mean, think about it, Dad. I mean, what if that isn’t even enough for her? What if she wants more? What if she wants that family? What if she goes after Steffy and Finn again? Tries something with Hayes?

Deacon: Honey, I think we have to just take the Sheila situation one step at a time.

Hope: Dad, there shouldn’t even be a Sheila situation. She should be behind bars, not living the high life with dollar Bill, having him protect her.

Deacon: You know, sweetheart, life is funny. It eventually works itself out.

Hope: What do you mean?

Deacon: I don’t think we have to worry about Sheila any longer.

Hope: Okay, uh, how can you even say that?


Chen: Thank you, Chief Baker. We will.

Ridge: How the hell did this happen?

Chen: Local authorities on full alert. Have description of vehicle and subject. I want updates on the fives.

Ridge: Right, Bill’s on the road too. We had her! We had a confession and once again, Sheila’s gone.


Sheila: A Dr. Jay Garvin, he was a therapist that was treating me and he threatened me. Let go of me.

Jay: No, get a hold of–

Sheila: Let go!

[ Jay screaming ]

Sheila: He fell over the balcony and he died.

Bill: Fell. Let a jury decide.


Sheila: There was Lance Day, and he threatened me too.

Bill: What happened?

Sheila: I found out he was deathly allergic to bees. I tried to talk sense into him. He gave me no choice though. I sent bees…

Lance: Ow.

Sheila: …Into his bedroom when he was sleeping and he was stung over

Lance: Let me out of here!

Sheila: And over…

Lance: Please help me! Help me!

Sheila: …And over again.

Lance: I can’t breathe.

Sheila: And uh, I made sure he couldn’t get out of that room.

Lance: Call 9-1-1.

Sheila: And he– he pleaded with me for help.

Lance: Help me. Help me please.

Sheila: I just watched him gasp for air.

Bill: So, this Lance, you intentionally killed him?

Sheila: Yes. Bill, I’m a murderer.

Bill: Say it again.


Sheila: You lied to me. You told me you loved me.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Falling in love with a psycho was number one on my bucket list. It was a set up from the beginning. A sting to get you to confess, to pour your black heart out to the only man who truly understood you. You confessed, Sheila. Murder one. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life and you will never hurt my family or anyone else ever again. Yes, this whole house is bugged. There are cameras, recording devices everywhere. Why don’t you give your best smile and wave to Ridge and Agent Chen from the FBI. It was all an act with the FBI watching and listening to every word you said, building their case around you, just waiting for you to open up. Don’t even think about running. The authorities are on their way. They’re gonna cuff you and drag your ass out of here and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life!

Sheila: Oh, no. You are wrong, Bill. I am never gonna see the inside of a prison again, you bastard.


Hope: How can you say that Sheila is no longer a threat? I mean, Dad, as long as Sheila is breathing air, she’s a danger to the people around her, especially the ones that she claims to love.

Deacon: I think–

[ Phone chiming ]

Deacon: Hang on. Honey, I’m gonna have to cut this short. Something came up, I… hey, Hope. I love you and I’m so proud of you. I just hope that I always give you reason to be proud of me too. Come here.

Hope: Well, I love you too, Dad.


Bill: Got something for me?

Ridge: No. Feds, LAPD, they’re canvassing the area. What about you?

Bill: Still working against that head start? We both know where she’s going. She won’t get away. Not this time.


Deacon: What’s wrong?

Sheila: Everything. I can’t believe I fell for it. This whole time, it’s been a lie.

Deacon: What are you talking about? What happened?

Sheila: I went back to Bill’s and I accepted his proposal. And here, I thought that I was gonna be starting this wonderful new future and life as– as Mrs. Bill Spencer.

Deacon: That was the plan.

Sheila: I know. He– he said that I needed to open up to him. That there were secrets that I had, things in my past that I was ashamed of and he wanted openness and honesty. What a joke that was.

Deacon: Wait a second, did– did you tell him something that you shouldn’t have? Is that what this is about?

Sheila: Yes. Things that I’m not proud of, but I had no choice. I had to survive.

Deacon: Survive how?

Sheila: There was a Dr. Jay Garvin and– and a kid named Lance Day.

Deacon: Okay, okay. What about ’em?

Sheila: Garvin and I, we were in an argument and he died. He fell over a balcony. I swear. I swear that was an accident.

Deacon: Okay. What about the other guy? Sheila, what are you telling me? What, you meant to kill him?

Sheila: I had to.

Deacon: And you said that Spencer? You– you confessed to murder?

Sheila: I know, I know. It was stupid, but we– we just got engaged and I– I really, I wanted to be honest and– and open with him and have him love me anyways. Is there something really so wrong with that?

Deacon: No, no, of course not. How did he react?

Sheila: He left the room. It was really odd. I just– he’s been acting so strange lately and– and it was like a alarm went off for me and finally, I went looking for him and then there he was, he was– he was on the phone telling them that they– they got me.

Deacon: Who’s they?

Sheila: Ridge.

Deacon: Forrester?

Sheila: Yes, and the feds.

Deacon: The feds?

Sheila: This whole thing has been a setup. He has been playing me this whole time. He had cameras everywhere, rooms bugged. Everything that I said and I did, they were monitoring me. Bill never loved me. He never wanted to be with me. Oh, no, he made it perfectly clear that he hates me. He wants to see me spend the rest of my life in prison. Please, you’ve got to help me. Deacon, I want you to come with me, okay? We can escape, we can be together. Just say yes. Will you just say– say that you’re gonna run away with me? Please? I love you, you know that.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Hello. How’d you like your first day as a baker? I loved it. I can’t wait to be back tomorrow. You sure about that? I know I kind of put the pressure on, but I had to see if you could handle it. and you did. Which is a major relief for me because I have been falling further and further behind since Allie left.

Well, I’ll be back tomorrow. You can count on it. Great. Well, good night. Night. Hey, can I ask you something about running a bakery? That lawyer, why does she hate you so much?

Real estate listings. Frita, you said she was looking for a place. Oh, you didn’t have to go through all this Trouble. Wasn’t any trouble. one of our uniforms. Moonlight as a realtor. Well, you still went out of your way for my sister. Well, actually I did it for you. Really? You did say that sharing a bed with your sister was killing your back and, uh, I can’t have my detectives being tired.

Thank you. Mm-hmm. . You’re standing around shooting the breeze. Why aren’t you getting Sloane Feed in off the streets.

Hey, Sloane. Hey, I’m glad I made it here before you locked. I am too. Um, I was gonna call and find out how you were doing. Oh yeah. Because, uh, Peterson versus Price and Dupre case got thrown out. Oh, you’ve been banking everything on that wrongful death. If Paul Price and her little slut daughter really think I’m through with them, they’re dreaming.

I’ll see those two bitches in hell first.

Okay. What the hell are you up to now? Welcome home dear. How was your day? I asked you a question. I had to celebrate your triumph, didn’t I? Well, you don’t have to lay it on so thick. I’m not exaggerating. You handled those Saxton people like the pro you are. They’re dying to be in the Gabby Shin business now.

I don’t blame him. Yeah, I guess I went pretty well, I would say. So. You’re on your way to starting your second fashion empire. To my beautiful, talented wife.

Ah, good. You are here. I just heard from the man I have tailing Gabby Anne. She’s back at the apartment. Lee, did you manage to book the room for the two of them at the end? Well, it took a little doing to keep it anonymous, but uh, yes I did and uh, I let myself in and gave it my own personal. Gabby and Stephan’s Love Shack is ready to rock and roll.

You just have to show up. Oh, I’m sure they will make sure of that. Now, all we need is for Lee to catch them in the act. Who’s getting caught in the act?

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

It would take a while to explain why Sloan hates me. I’m sorry. It’s none of my business. It’s just she threatened you today. Yeah. And I don’t blame you for being curious Sloan, she’s hated me for a long time. Say no more. Why? I guess I kind of have to, you’re gonna be working for me, and there is no telling what that woman is capable of.

So, um, yeah, I, I don’t want you to get hurt by this me, I’m just,

You aren’t laughing. No, I’m not. This is serious song. Hey, British police, they’re not pressing charges in the judge. He threw out the civil suit. You’re kind of running outta options, aren’t you? Just pay no attention to me. I get this way when I’m frustrated. It’s not just about the lawsuit for Paulina and Chanel, it’s about us too.

Your gallery. I’m always excited about taking over sweet bits and seeing it there. The money we would’ve made from the lawsuit, we could have renovated it. And now it just says everything’s thrown out the window. Hey, now on the gallery was more your idea than it was mine. Now you are a talented photographer.

Only you deserve it.

I just can’t believe that. Paulina, sorry. And she now got off spot free. And we got what? We got nothing. It’s okay. Just stop worrying. You know me well enough to know that I don’t, just without that easy, and I’m not giving up on you

to you, my love.

Huh? You don’t like champagne? I. I just don’t love feeling like you’re up to something. Can’t I just be happy for you? No, you don’t do anything just for me. There’s always something in it for you. So what is it? Is it my deal with Saxtons or is it the fact that you set it up and now I owe you? You, Paul and I were talking about the possibility of me catching you in the act with Gabby.

The very last thing. Any of us here? And why you two seem so happy talking about it? Well, if we seem happy, it’s because I came through with my promise to help you and Gabby be alone together, but that is not guaranteed. So you two will have to be discreet. So you’re helping us out. Mm-hmm. . By taking a room at the Salem man under a false name, manage that.

The point is, it’s all set, everything is tickety boo. But if you have doubts of any kind, yeah, I’ll go back to the Salem man and tell him I changed my mind right now. But Steph in it’s, it’s up to you.

I’m at the. Do you hear what I’m trying to say? I hear you, but I don’t understand. Cause I thought the judge threw out Sloan’s case. Isn’t this over? I wish on Brady. He knows everything. Sean pulled his stake out tonight and he hasn’t said a word to me about you or Sloan. He hasn’t said anything to me either.

Listen, our detectives are not in the habit of conducting private investigation. That’s not what this is. Okay, well then why don’t you tell me what it is. I talked to Sean Brady today and I asked him to be discre. Looks like he took me a little too seriously, but, well, what do you wanna hear about first?

The break-in at my office or Sloane’s. Crazy threats against Jane, Janelle, and me. Well, I don’t care where I saw it first. As long as it ends up with that Luna check in a jail self.

So this professor that you had an affair with turned out to be Sloan’s father, I’m not proud of any. I should have just walked out of his office the second he came onto me, but I didn’t.

Anyway, Sloan’s mother, she found out about us and one day she pretended to be him and she tricked me into meeting up with her on the roof. And when I got there, she confronted me and threatened me. And what did you. It, it all happened so fast. She came at me and I, I, I tried to, to push her away and then she lost her balance and fell.

She died. Yeah. Yeah. Uh, anyway, uh, Sloan is convinced that it wasn’t an accident. She’s sure. I pushed her mother and her father made her think that she’s right. The man that you had I affair with wound, wound up drinking himself to death. God, I, he left someone a letter telling her that, um, that he knew that I pushed her mother off of that roof.

My God, this is, and then my mom came running to the rescue right after Sloan’s mother died. She managed to keep the whole thing quiet and the mother’s death was ruled an accident, and I, I thought the whole thing was over. But then Sloane got her father’s letter and then she, uh, she tried blackmailing me and then, and that didn’t work.

She tried to have me sent back to London for a trial, and then when the police said that it was too late to bring up charges against me, she. She tried to sue me for wrongful death, and then the judge refused to take the case and she still didn’t get the message. She’ll never get it. Wow. So that’s why she acted that way this morning.

I know I’m the bad guy in this situation. If I had just told her father that I wasn’t interested, then her mother wouldn’t have died the way that she did. Yeah. But the professor was the adult. In this situation, you shouldn’t feel bad about any of this. Two people are dead and their psychopath daughter is obsessed with making me pay.

This isn’t going away Anytime.

If you’re having second thoughts about taking this drop, I understand. No. Look, I spent all day baking today and it was the most refreshing and rewarding feeling I felt in a very long time. So trust me, I’ll be back. Well, great. That’s great. As long as you know the score. No, I really appreciate your honesty.

It just makes me feel bad. Why?

I haven’t been so honest with you.

I’m being honest, Gabby. I am capable of being happy for you without trying to get something for myself. Since one, I admit, I’m hoping that this opportunity changes the way you feel about me. I’ve never denied that. That’s what I. But there is something else motivating me. I’m pulling for you, Mrs. Shin.

Always. I wanna watch you show the world your drive, your intelligence, your creative talent. You went into that meeting today and took no prisoners. Tell me you’re as excited about that as.

Even if I’m the one who made it happen,

the sail. Really? The sailor man? Yes. The one that’s right off Wharton Town Square, the one that everybody in their mother in this town goes to. Oh, Steph. Not everyone. Okay. But they do get their fair share of foot traffic. So how do you suggest we show up and get into that building site on. Show up in the middle of the night.

Do we show up in disguise? Do has the entire front desk staff been paid off? I’ve already arranged things with the manager. The room will be paid full through a subsidiary of Dera Enterprises. Mm-hmm. . And you and Gabby will have access to a back entrance and we’ll fill you in on the rest if you’re interested.

It seems my brother isn’t ready to accept your generosity. Nicole, do you? . Look, aj, it’s not Lee that I’m worried about. He doesn’t scare me one bit, but Gabby has everything to lose here and it’s not like these circumstances are gonna go on forever. All Gabby has to do is adhere to Lee’s conditions for the next five months and his shares of the company become hers five months.

Yeah, but that’s a long time to wait for a couple who’s wanted to be together as, as long as you and Gabby have. That may be true, but if Lee catches us in that room, Gabby gets nothing. You are giving yourself and Gabby a great deal of credit for self-control. You try and wear me down. No, no. I’m trying to prove to you that I’m on your side.

Now look, I know that’s going to be hard to convince. Especially after what I, what I kept from you. I know that the time spent under Dr. Ross Spell is time lost with Gabby. It’s the reason Gabby married Lee, and I wanna make that up to you.

You have no idea how badly I’m gonna take you up on this. Me just a thought being with Gabby. Look, I understand your objections to the plan soon, shouldn’t we try and solve those problems? Look, all it takes is for you to say the word, and Nicole will leave right now and get in touch with Gabby. She’ll fill her in on the plan and get her into the in safely.

You and I will stay here and try and figure out the most secure way for you to.

But no one is doing anything until you say the word.

Go for it. Okay.

You’re doing the right thing. God, I hope so.

You know what you should ask your father about showing your pictures. . Why? Because then you could just sell directly to the customers. I’m seeing a lot of restaurants do it. Yeah. Pricey restaurants maybe. But my customers come for club chatter. Hmm. Not to mention, then I have to talk to my dad about this whole idea, and then he’d be involved, and then it wouldn’t be my gallery.

Well, I mean, gallery’s probably not happening anyway now. Hey, a disappointment today and you’re worried about me. Do you not know how much you mean to me? How important you are? Eric, if it wasn’t for you, I would spend 24 hours a day just obsessing over Chanel, Dupree and Paulina Price. Well then try not to and let it go.

I can’t.

I know that makes me complicated to, uh, deal with I can do complicated.

Lucky.

So, after you and Stephanie found out that your office had been trashed, I called Sean and. And told him to arrest Sloan, but he didn’t. Well cuz there weren’t any witnesses. , can we not get hung up on the details? I know who did it. Same person who painted murderer on the window of the bakery. It, it, it’s Sloane Peterson’s Mo.

There’s something called a burden of proof, so we have to have proof before we can charge Sloane Peterson. So the law protects her and leaves Chanel and me to fend for ourself. We just can’t press any charges. Based on your theories alone. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Chanel’s helper at the bakery. She was there when Sloane went off on her this morning.

She was, yeah. I, I just remember. That helper is my sister. Okay. Well that gives us something to go on. Oh, yeah. I, I can prove that Sloan blackmailed me. I can prove that she tried to haul Chanel and me into court and call us murderers. Neither one of those things worked out for her and she’s, she’s going rogue.

I’m just scared to death of what she’s gonna do next. She threatened you directly. Didn’t I say that? No, you didn’t. Well, she did. She got right up in my face, says she doesn’t care what a court of Lord says. Please, please. I’m, I’m, I’m asking for your help. I’ve been, I’ve been trying to take care of Chanel since this tragedy happened.

I’m just, I’m just afraid that she’s in more danger now than ever. You, you need to step up now. I’m, I’m scared for my baby’s life.

A. , you are a doctor? Mm-hmm. what? Like you have a PhD or something? No, an md. Oh, oh, so you’re like a doctor. Doctor? Yeah. Okay. Well, uh, good for you. Uh, but would you mind telling me why a doctor wanna work in a bakery?

So, I became a doctor because my father was one. . And then once I realized I was really good at science, I wanted to follow in his footsteps, he was my hero. So I finished med school and started my internship and I started wondering like, why am I not excited about what I’m doing? You did say today was one of the most rewarding days you’d had in a long time.

Yeah, and it. I love baking and when I saw your sign in the window, I felt like that was fate stepping in and nudging me. I had to apply. So this was just like a spur of the moment thing. Exactly. But your application, all your experience at that famous New York bakery, they didn’t exactly employ me. You were an intern.

No, but I went every day if it counts. So you were conning me? No, not exactly. Okay. Look, I would buy something like a croissant and then I would take it home and I would reverse engineer it to see why they made it so light and flaky, which I figured out by the way that means anything. But no, I was not honest on my application.

Yeah, sounds like. So does that mean that I’m fired?

You have to trust Nicole. She’s thought of everything. No, I’m not thinking about her. Thinking about Gabby. I mean, I could be with her for the first time. Forever roll’s. Finally outta my head. I know what I want, what I’ve always wanted, and I was this close to get him to tell Gabby that. And, but he’d already gotten another sign.

The papers. Yes. I know tonight is supposed to change all of that. This is what you, Gabby deserve. It is, but what if she hates the. Why would she,

you think she’s automatically gonna trust Nicole? Why not? Why would she? Nicole married Rafe and then dumped him. Gabby loves her brother. She’s probably gonna throw Nicole out. I mean, this whole idea could be dead in the water before it even begins.

I am not gonna lie. I’m super stoked about this deal. I mean, I fought it all the way because it was your idea. I know I was there. You can’t blame me. I didn’t even know I wanted this deal so bad. I only figured it out when, when I was talking to those execs today, they were eating out of the palm in my hand.

They were so excited. I, I, I have to say thank you. You were the one that got me into that room and you knew what I needed. I’m. Even if I had an ulterior motive, even if you did wonder who that could be.

Hi. Oh, um, is this a bad time?

Are you two going to help me? You are not. You do have a legitimate complaint finally, but there is not a whole lot of corroborating evidence. Are you turning me down? No. Seriously. No, we are not. We’re not. There is no harm in bringing Ms. Peterson in for questioning. Oh, what does that mean? Well, it means we’ll ask the questions cuz you better have some damn convincing answers.

Ooh, this soft space by the river looks really interesting. No, it’s on the fifth floor. I mean, how would people find it? Okay, that’s a good point. Well, what about the storefront here? This is a great location. No, it used to be an ice cream parlor. It would cost too much money to. Are you always such a downer like you’re getting on my nerves?

I’ll try to be more positive. Please do

You feeling better? Yeah, I am.

I dunno why I agreed to do this in the first. And Gabby is gonna become suspicious. The moment of Nicole shows up at her door, I’m gonna give her a heads up. What if FL is with her when she gets your text? The whole plan will go up in spoke.

So either way I lose. No, I anticipated this. Use this phone whenever you contact Gabby to catch up. Adam Burner. Mm-hmm. . Even if Lee sees the text, he won’t know it’s from you. He really did think of everything. As I said before, I’m on your side. No, Stefan, I want this for you.

What are you doing here? I came to talk to Gabby, so I heard you had a meeting with Saxtons today about a new product line. Work gets around fast. Well, I’m here to pitch you to come over to Basic Black instead, you wanna go into business with me? Mm-hmm. Basic Block is owned by Damara Enterprises. I can’t see EJ standing I by while you cut a deal with.

Yeah, me neither. Well, EJ doesn’t have a say in this Brady, and I have carte blanche to run basic lack hour way. I might believe that if I didn’t know that you and EJ are having an affair, ej, and I know how to separate business from our personal life. Oh, come on Gabby. Don’t let my relationship with EJ make you miss out on a great opportunity.

Why don’t we grab a drink and we’ll talk it over? Don’t be taken in. It’s almost like you heard about Gabby’s meeting with Saxtons and rushed over here just to keep from being scooped. You’re too late. By the way, I am familiar with basic Black’s operating budget, and you can’t match Saxon’s offer. You really want me to believe that they gave her a firm offer already.

What’s the text? Nothing important. You know what? Um, one drink is gonna be pretty quick. I wanna hear what Nicole has to say.

That place in New York, it’s more than just a bakery. It’s a patisserie, right? Did you copy the tart to tan? Mm-hmm. . It’s just a fancy apple. , no problem. Chocolate financier. Okay. I had a problem nailing that one. Does that mean that I’m fired? I hate to break it to you, but you are way too talented to let that.

And you got guts. Sal, you are stuck with me and sweet bits. Thank you, . Oh, thank goodness you’re still here. Did something happen? I just came from the police department. Why it? It’s okay. I’ve already told her about Sloan. Except for what? To my office. Your office. What happened to your office? It was trashed.

So if you didn’t take Sloan’s threats seriously this morning, you better start doing it now. That crazy woman, she’s still trying to get us, and now she doesn’t care what the law says. You have to be ready for anything.

So we have two possible places we are looking at tomorrow. We’re really doing this. Yeah. Yeah, we are. You know, I never would’ve crossed my mind open a gallery if it hadn’t been for you. We’re really excited.

Why do I go back to my place and celebrate and dinner? We can pretend to look at takeout menus for like five minutes,

but um, let’s get out of here because I’ve never been so excited to not eat in my life.

Yes, thank you.

I don’t like this. Gabby, what if Saxons finds out you’re taking other meetings? She has every right to, plus it’ll drive her price up. I stuck my neck out to make Saxon’s commit on paper if they think you’re playing them. Gabby, what’s wrong with getting the best possible deal? And don’t you want that? Of course I do.

What about dinner? We’ll just keep it warm and we can have it later. Yeah.

Uh, this isn’t about a fashion deal, is it? There’s no fool in you. Now I am here because of, of. I just got an anonymous text and I think it was him. It said, listen to Nicole. What? What is this, Martin? You’re doing the right thing. I will tell you everything in the car. Ah, this is taking forever.

Nicole has Gabby with her and they’re on the way to the end, and so am I.

What if Lee’s having me filed? No, don’t worry about that. My people are better than his people and they’ve been alerted. Now there’s a car waiting for you outside with the keys and that. Leave your car here. Okay, we’ll real quick, wait, wait, wait. What? It’s interview a little while before, uh, Nicole and Gabby get to the end.

Let’s drink a small toast.

Okay,

to an event for leaving to you and Nicole, thank you for making this happen now. Thanks. Necessary entirely un.

Yeah, I’m outta here. Good luck.

But I’m afraid that has just run out, bro.

I cannot believe Sloan trashed her office. She’s off the rails. That one I had a hard time convincing your sister and Ray Hernandez of that. But finally, I, I got him to see the light. Oh, Sloan went through my office looking for something to use against us. She probably did it right before she came back here.

Who, what did Ray say he was gonna do? Said he was gonna run her in for questioning. If your sister winds up putting Sloan in the cell, tell us, she has my permission to just throw away the key. We were just leaving. You’ll have to make other plans. Is this about what happened with s. I thought we were done and when he dropped the charges, this isn’t about you, so it’s maimed why We’ll discuss this at headquarters.

We have a few questions we’d like to ask you.

Put the rose pedals on the bed, me and uh, there’s the champagne in the bucket and bath bubbles by the tub. He really went all out. And Stephen’s on his way here. Yeah, I mean, he’s, he’s definitely coming. Oh, okay. Why, why do you look so skeptical? I’m just, I’m having a hard time believing that EJ is down with this.

It’s like I told you, EJ feels really bad about keeping Stephan in the dark about what Rolf did, and Stephan will confirm that when he get. What about are you, what, what do you get out of this? What can I say? I’m, I’m a romantic, but there won’t be much romance if I’m still here. So just make me feel comfortable and wait for your guy.

Okay. Wait, wait.

Thank you. Thank you. Uh, Stephanie and I wanna be together so much and, and making it happen for us. You the answer to our prayers.

Well, this is unexpected. I know, but I think you’ll be glad I.

Did I interrupt a celebration? It’s already been interrupted. Say what you came here to say and get outta here before GAVA gets back. How are things going with her? Slowly. That’s not good enough. Excuse me. I meted when I said I wanted to help you reconcile with her. I want Gabby far away from my brother and my family’s fortune as soon as possible.

Hmm. Well, you’ve got your work cut out for you. Hmm. Did Gabby happen to leave with Nicole? You know about her offer from Basic Block. There is no offer, I’m afraid. You’ve been set up, old boy, set up how Stefan and Gabby aren’t together as we. What? You’re lying. I’m not. Can do something about it?

Oh, I can’t believe this is happening. Oh, you gonna let me in? Thank you Nicole. Really EJ too. Yeah, enough. With the thank yous. You two just enjoy each other. Okay. I know you.

And, um, I’ll take care of this on my,

ah,

I cannot believe this is happening. Finally. You’re really.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah, well as soon as I hear anything new, I will let you know you take care of yourself. Lucas.

Hey, everything okay?

Yeah, just giving Lucas the latest on the search for Megan Hathaway.

I’d like an update yourself and I was about to give you. Hope has a lead on Megan’s location thanks to Harris.

Michaels, do you really mean that?

I need to trust you? We’d have to take it slow.

I’m okay with slow.

What the hell is going on here?

Hi honey. What are you? Here. Oh my God. Credible surprise. I am so. I’m so happy to see you. Let me look at my beautiful girl. I thought you were in the Caribbean sailing around with Ben and Little Bow.

Yeah, I was, uh, up until a few hours ago we docked and um, I got a motel and I happened to call Sean and he told me that you were about an hour away.

Wow. What a coincidence, huh? Yeah. Yeah. I’m so thrilled to see you. Yeah. Oh my gosh. But wait a second. I’m a little confused about this because this is a secured facility. How the heck did you get in here?

Well, uh, I am my mother’s daughter after all.

Mm-hmm. ,

I convinced Cousin Andrew to give me clearance.

Yeah, that turns out I did it just in time. Cuz I’m here to stop you from making the biggest mistake of your life.

Thanks for the memories. But I’m gonna go into my future on my own.

Oh my God.

Good to see you too. You’re alive. My, my brother’s alive.

What the.

Is this real? Is it.

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

Ciara, listen to me.

No mom, you listen to me. You told me that you were out searching for Megan Hathaway. You told me that you were hunting her down to make her pay for what she did to us,

which I am.

Really?

Yes,

because I just walked in on you kissing the man that she hired to kill you.

If I can just,

it’s okay.

No, it’s not. It is absolutely not.

Okay.

And I just know that daddy would be rolling over in his grave if he could see you right now.

We weren’t expecting this.

Rolf told me that Megan was trying to bring back a lost love, but honestly, I never, I never thought it was possible. Miracle, miracle.

What happened?

Oh. Tried to inject me with his sedative and gave her a taste of her own medicine.

Oh, they just love needles around here, don’t they? Rolf just tried to do his latest test on me and his serum, and I just, I, I, I thought ’em off and I ran, and I

So you’re done with this insane experiment too, huh?

So Meins had you here all this.

Yeah, I told her I was leaving. She put up a fight and lost it. Looks like she’s coming to.

Yeah. We better get the hell outta here.

No, no. Wait, wait, wait. We can’t.

Why not?

Because Marlena is here too, and we are not going without her.

Harris Michaels, wasn’t he working for Megan?

Apparently she brainwashed him into doing her dirty work, but, uh, according to Hope, the ISA has got him. Back in his right mind and now he is doing everything he can to help track down his old boss and, uh, bring it to justice.

Hmm. But I don’t know, I mean, after all the damage this Harris guy did last summer, I do you really believe there’s anything he says that we can trust?

Mom, you have to get away from this man.

You don’t understand.

Understand what, why I just walked in on you kissing the man who tried to kill all of us in Montreal. I mean, just can please explain this to me. Please. Just tell me that you are using him to get information.

I, he’s already filled as a possible location.  In fact, John and your uncle Steve are checking it out right now as we speak.

Okay. All right. So you got him to give up his boss. That’s very nice work, mom. But did you have to do it by literally kissing him on,

stop it just. Stop for one minute and listen to me. Harris is not the same man.

Harris is a monster who we both know is very skilled at deception.  He might still be on your side, but he also might be loyal to Megan mom. He sometimes three women to their deaths already. Do you really wanna be one of them?

Can you hear me?  Oh, if this really is, shoot, come on. Please open those beautiful eyes.  It’s okay. I’m right here. It’s okay. I’m gonna get her some help. I’m gonna get her some help, baby.

Why am I not surprised to find you here?

I apologize for interrupting her. I see you and Dr. Evans in the midst of a joyous reunion.

Well, I would be, except she’s still unconscious, and

nevertheless, I’m sure you want some time alone with her. So if you’re un handy, I’ll be on my way.

But you’re not going anywhere.

What you’re gonna do is you’re gonna. Right now, so we can get the hell outta here. Hey,

okay, we’re good. Come on.

All right, follow me.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. That is not the way to where Megan was keeping us.

You’re right. It’s way off of this.

No, but I, I told you that we have to go back from Marlena.

Forget her.

What?

We don’t have time. She’s on her own.

She is unconscious. She has no way of protecting herself.

Well, her bad luck.  Come on, let’s go.

What are you talking about? We cannot desert our friends.

If we go back there, the three of us could get stuck on this island. Come on.

Leaving Marlena with Megan. She is a homicidal maniac. Do you know that Kate is dead?

Yeah, I know.

Did Megan tell you that? No, I shot her.

Oh my love  You have. Been such a bad boy that I am going to get you back in

Steve.

Megan, I was just on my,

you got that?

That better not hurt her because if it does, I am gonna splatter your grave matter all over. Your lab hurt.

No, no. After I give this injection to Dr. Evans, she is going to make a full recovery. She will be a living testament to my scientific genius.

You killed my wife and now you’re gonna pay for that. I’ve spent so long,

Steve, don’t you wanna catch up?

Keep your hands where I can see ’em.

Why you think I have something up my sleeves?

I think you’re a psychotic bitch who played God with people’s lives.

Such a harsh language patch.

Why don’t you do it?  Why did you let those women die?

Well, I’d love to bring you up to speed on my plans, but actually there are more pressing matters I need to attend to.

You’re not going anywhere except prison for murdering Kayla, Marlena and Kate.

I did not.

You did. Morpheus told us that someone stole that orchid from the Secret Room in your father’s house, and we know it was you.

I might have arranged for it to be stolen.

That’s right. And because of that, all three of them are gone and you are responsible.

I’m afraid you have that quite wrong. I didn’t steal the orchid in order to kill them. I took it to save them.

I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about, but I’m done listening.

Steve, wait. There’s something you need to know.

What

your sweetness is alive.

Matt? What? What are you saying? You, you shot Katie?

Yeah.

You killed her.

Yeah. Right here.

No, no, no. This has gotta be some kind of sip joke.

No, no joke. Come on, let’s go.

Wait. You know, this isn’t making any sense. First you, you don’t care at all about Marlena, and now you’re telling me that you shot Kate.

Yeah.

You’re serious.

My God.

Paula, could you do something like that?

Why do you care?

Why do I care? Because you took someone’s life, your brother’s wife.

Yeah, she told me she got her hooks back into him.

No, no, no. You know, she made him incredibly happy. They could’ve been re

Oh, conniving, aing manipulative snake. I’ve never shut her damn mouth. You ask me. I did Roman a favor.

Now come on. You don’t mean that.

Yes, I do. I don’t care.

What, what? Well, you don’t care about that. The Kate in it, or you don’t care that your brother may never get over this

either.

Oh my God. Oh God. That’s it. Wasn’t you, it wasn’t you. You, you did not kill Kate.

Yeah, I did.

No you didn’t. No you didn’t. Not not because you wanted to, not. Not on your own free will. Megan Brainwashed.

Oh, Harris was brainwashed by Megan Hathaway. She’s been controlling his mind for years. That’s why he did all of those horrible things last summer.

And so what Now he’s just. All of a sudden magically changed.

He’s been deprogrammed and he went through hell doing it. See, that’s why he’s in the hospital bed because he collapsed after undergoing a very painful course of shock therapy.

You made him do that?

No, I did not. He volunteered. Judicial treatments weren’t working, so he consented to a more dangerous method that could have killed him.  It nearly did kill him and thank God he’s okay.

He’s been completely deed mom.

You don’t know that for sure.

I do know that. I was there. I watched the entire session and I was there and I watched him pretend to be in love with you when he was actually an assassin. Plus, oh my God, home. Please, please wake up.  Just because he got zapped a couple times doesn’t mean that he’s changed. Do you know what Navy sealed training entails? He can withstand anything.

Ciara, I understand that. He told us where he thinks Megan is.

Okay. Those could just be some random coordinates on a map. For all we know, bottom line, this could all be an act and I do not wanna risk the chance that he will hurt you again.  Mom

Ciara. My daughter as this stubborn as her father was, you’re not gonna change your mind.

That’s fine, because I agree with everything she said

we’re well. Before Megan got ahold of him, Michaels was a Navy seal by all counts of real. He. And home beliefs. He’s been Deprogrammed.

Yeah, she was there when it went down. Kimberly wasn’t having any lucks, so he signed up for E C T.

Really?

Yeah. And a bunch of his memories came back, including the location of the facility where he originally underwent the conditioning.  He thinks that’s where Megan could be held up and with any. John and Steve could be closing in on her right now.

I’m surprised you don’t wanna be a part of that. Don’t you wanna find her, bring her back?

Well, I have no doubt that John and Steve can get that done. In the meantime, I’ve uh, Got another job to do.  Matter of fact, I ought start getting going there and got a plane catch.

Okay. Oh, whoa, whoa. Where you going to Lake Cape to rest?

Nothing’s happening, doctor. You sure you got the right stuff in that syringe?

As Einstein shows that e equals mc square.

I don’t know about that, but I am sure that you’re a dead man if she doesn’t start waking up.

John, I sweetheart. Am I dreaming? ?

If you are, I’m in it cuz I’m right here with you, baby.

Hold me. Hold me.

I got, I got you. I.

You know, before Kate got sick again, we talked about taking a honeymoon. So I, I suggested Paris from reel, but uh, her heart was set on the emerald aisle.

And why was that?

Might be hard to believe, but Kate admitted to me that she liked being a breed.

What’s not to like ? Well, we don’t live in mansions. We don’t run billion dollar companies, but we do have people in.

She wanted to know where they came from. She told me that an historian once described us as ego temper and stubbornness mixed with charm, warmth. That would shine through adversity.

Hmm. Sounds a lot like Kate.

Actually. I told her that. I told her that, but in her case I would’ve to add stunningly. Beautiful. Anyway, Austin and Billiw are gonna meet me over there and we will scatter Kate Ashes. Special place and Lucas wishes he could be there too. But, uh, he does understand. I can’t wait for him to get out. And I’m not about to carry this urn around like Anna did for years.

I not, the Tony was alive.

Yeah. As much as I wish the hell left we’re possible. I’m afraid that to outcome it won’t be the same for the women we’ve lost.

Did you hear what I. Kayla is alive

and you’re lying. You’re just waiting for one of your goons to come by and save you. That’s not gonna happen.

Oh, don’t you want to know where your sweetness is?

I know where she is. She’s in her grave. I stood there and washed with our children while they lowered her into the ground.

That wasn’t Kayla.

You better stop talking now.

Look, I know you have no reason to believe me when I say that your wife is still amongst the lady. But don’t you want to see, don’t you want to see for yourself?  Because Kayla’s here, I can prove it. I’ll take you to a right now.

Megan did the same thing to Stephen John last summer. She brainwashed them and they did terrible things.

I don’t follow anyone’s orders.

Look, I can see that you are trying to break free, but, and, and that you’re still working on it, but Megan could still have a hold on you. So we need to go back and get Marlene and she can help you.  Shoot back to the man you used to be.

I don’t want that.

You don’t wanna be the man you were.

No. That man died years ago. No, no, he did.

And you are standing right in front of me and whatever Megan did to you, we can fix it.

There is nothing to fix. I don’t need Marlena. I don’t need anyone.

Oh really? Oh really?

You agree with Ciara?

I, I get where she’s coming from. I mean, I understand why she’s worried. Why, why shouldn’t she be? I terrorized her family.  Look, I, I take responsibility for my actions and really, I’m, I’m grateful that I get a chance to, to apologize to you in.  Ciara, I am. Um, I am truly sorry for what I did to you and your family, and I do not blame you one bit for not wanting me near your.

Honey, remember how, um, how people reacted when you first got together with Ben? Everyone thought, well, especially. Beth, there was absolutely no way he could ever change. But you believe he deserved to cycle? I believe Harris does too.

I’m just, um, I’m really worried about you. I mean, ever since Daddy died, Exactly. Have the best luck in the love department.

I agree with you on that. It’s true. ‘Mm-hmm. Harris and I have decided, um, we’re gonna take one step at a time. We’re gonna take it slow. I promise you, Ciara, you have to recognize he put his life on the line B and d programmed to help me find.

It nearly killed him.

That was very brave of you. Yes. Thank you. Mm-hmm. . So, um, you gave Steve and John Megan’s location that, uh, that map that you found, that’s where you think she is. Yeah. It’s impossible location. Yeah. Okay. Why do we need to hear what they.

So, um, tell me everything. Fill me in. Tell me about Little Bow. How is the Caribbean? No, how big is he? Oh, okay. All right. Okay. Is he sitting first? His mama, mama mom? Yes. What. As you have some news and it is good kind of news. I love a good kind. Mm-hmm. , please tell me right now. All right, so, uh, baby bow is going to be a big brother.

The baby. Yeah. , no pregnant. Oh my gosh. That is not the good kind of news that. What’s the great kind news? My daughter, congratulations.

Seems I a third wheel, so

you should know by. That’s impossible.

Are you sure that you’re okay? I am. Now that you’re here, let get you out this thing. Okay?

You love company.

Megan has been keeping others captive as well. Listen, listen, I, I, I can’t, I can’t even imagine what you went through here, but you survived and, and I’m sure that a lot of what drove you was your feelings for hope. Come on. Had nothing to do with her. Megan saved me. She put me on ice, cured my tumor. The downside from all that is she has this crazy ass fantasy that we belong together.

Oh, that, that’s impossible because you belong with Hope. Ancient history. No. No. Oh, listen, you might have been gone, but the love was still there. It’s, it’s still there. Lord. You stop. What? You’re there just not thinking straight. You want what I want? Has nothing to do with hope or my past. That’s over. No it’s not.

It can never be over Bo. Not when you have a love like that. And I know that because I have the same exact love with Steve. And you know what? When you are lucky enough to be a person on this earth who finds somebody with that kind of connection is, it’s just so powerful. That you, you’ll fight your way back and you will find it again no matter what the obstacles are.

Kayla’s alive too. Yes. And so was Kate. What do you mean was

Megan killed her at, at least that’s what she told us. Think she might have been lying. I don’t know, maybe, but she took Kate out and, and then Kayla and I heard a gunshot. Guns sound good? Mm. Where is Kayla? Hello? She’s probably with Steve right now. Steve is here too. Yeah. He and I split up to look for Megan.

I found her.

Her job, my pleasure.

You’re alive.

So is Kayla

told you? Oh my God. Oh my God.

So, where the hell is she? Huh? Where’s Kayla?

All right. We need to go find Marlena because I know that she could help you. I don’t need Marlena or Hope or my old life that I know for sure that mechanism in your head because the bow that I know would move heaven and earth to get back to hope and his kids. You’re wasting your breath. Nothing. Oh, really?

Oh really? Are you telling me that you don’t care at all about Sierra or Sean Douglas? We need Chuck Co. What about Claire, your granddaughter? What about your grandson?

I have a grandson. Yes, Sierra had a little baby boy and she named him Little Bo. He’s almost a year. I mean, don’t you wanna meet him? Don’t you wanna hold him? I’m telling you, Bo, you look into that precious little boy’s face and you are gonna be madly in love with him.

I promise you make beautiful girl. I am not gonna let you down when this baby is born. Okay, good. Because to have you there at this time would make me very happy.

Me too.

Hey, pretty great, huh? Sure is. Congratulations. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you.

All right, so I, uh, I should get going. Oh, honey, I love you so much. Oh my gosh. My, this doing such an amazing, amazing surprise. Oh, uh, please give, give Baby Bo and big kiss for me in bed. Of course. And let’s grab dinner before you sell off. Okay. And maybe a couple of desserts. Same cravings. Gosh, of course, of course.

There’s no seafood, of course. Yeah. Oh yeah. So, um, I guess I’ll see you there. Uh, if it’s okay with.

I’d like that.

Kate already tried this. Tried what? Tried what to, did you see if you wanted to meet your grandson? No, she, she went on and on and on about how the real bow was devoted to family and when won. Another chance was. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That’s exactly right. You do love us, all of us. Yeah. But the one person that you have the.

Special close bond with is Sierra, and I can tell you that I bet her biggest wish is that her child will get to know you because she admires you so much. Come on Bo. You have the power to grant that wish. Let’s make it happen.

Where’s Kayla? Where’s my wife? The last I knew she was here, maybe she got restless, found a boat, sailed away. No, Kayla would never leave me. Right on Dr. Rolf Slink. God, right after him. Revive doc. Well, if he’s still lurking around here, I doubt he’ll give me any trouble. All right, let’s have a plan. The plan is you stay here and watch her.

I’m gonna find Caleb and we’ll all go home.

Think about how wonderful it would be to see all the people who love. Who, who have missed you like I have. Have you heard a damn word I’ve said? Excuse me. I don’t wanna see any of those people. And they sure as hell don’t wanna see me. What you talking about? They moved on with their lives. They’re better off thinking I’m dead.

That is not true. True. I’m sick of people gapping at me all the time. I know what I want and I know where I’m going, and that is off of this damn island. And you’re coming with me now. Ah. Leave if you want, but I am staying. I am going to find Marlena.

You’re not going anywhere.

Hey, um, listen, I was thinking maybe I should go along, you know, Maybe I can say a few words. Well, I do appreciate that, but I need somebody here to keep an eye in a place while I’m gone. Are you sure? Yeah, I am sure. All right. Well, you travel safe. Give everyone in my love, Frank will do. Hey, I know this is not easy.

But I want you to know what you’re doing, I think is really beautiful. Well, we’ll keep it short in this week we’ll scatter cays, and then we’ll go raise a glass. Gotta find a, an Irish pub that, uh, serves a good Maree . You know what, I bet when you get back Megan, she’s gonna be in custody I hope. Because whoever killed Key, I’ve looked them in the eye

and let them know that they’re very lucky. I don’t tear their lamb from where.

I love,

well, if this is about Kate, everybody’s gotta understand that Megan brainwashed you. This isn’t about Megan. This is about me and my future. Oh, so hell with everybody else, you’re just going to take off and not look back. We are taking off. No. No, I am not. I am staying. With Marlena, don’t do this. Don’t do what?

Abandon my friend. I’m not doing that. I’m not leaving you here. So Megan can use you as her Guinea pig. Oh. So I should just let Marlena be used as a Guinea pig. I’m not doing it. If you have to go, go. But I am staying here. You are as stubborn as ma ever was. Oh, oh, that makes me proud. So what are you gonna do?

You’re gonna shoot me like you shot Kate

Brady. Women are not usually this way, I have to say. I’m pretty impressed you were able to win over Sierra. I just got her to gimme a chance, that’s all. I’m sorry that she gave you such a hard time in the. But you’re her mom. She wants to protect you. Maybe she needs to. What do you mean? I mean, right now it seems like the deprogramming worked, but what if it didn’t?

I mean, what if, what if? What if I relapse? You won’t. Yeah, we don’t know that.

And until we know for sure, maybe you should just stay away from me. You know? Maybe we shouldn’t. Like hope if I hurt, if I hurt you, Harris. You know, I would’ve thought you would’ve learned by now. I’m more than capable of taking care of myself. Just fine

again, sweetheart. Always I’m that you too would do whatever you had to do to find your way back to each other, wouldn’t you? To be reunited with your one true love? Yes, we would. Than I’m no different from you. Everything I did was for Love. Oh spirits. This is this grand plan of yours, whatever the hell it was just another epic fail.

Cause I’ll tell you how it’s gonna play out. We’re gonna go home and you’re going to prison for life regardless of what you think. I didn’t set out to hurt anyone. I was just trying to mend my broken heart. You don’t have a heart. You prove that when you kill Kate. I didn’t kill her. Kayla. And I heard the.

Perhaps, but I certainly didn’t pull the trigger. Are you saying Ralph pulled the trigger? . He couldn’t shoot a fruit fly, let alone a human being like, who shot key? Oh, wouldn’t you like to know?

Are you here? Sweet.

You

don’t.

I, I really need to get back. Ah, you’ll change your tune once you see where we’re going. , I think this is a really bad idea. This is the first day of my new life. Come on, let’s get you on the boat. Ah.

Oh, ooh, don’t forget salt and pepper. Oh, yes. Mm. Hello? The smell of bacon in the morning. Oh, you dome.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lily: Thank you.

Devon: Thank you very much.

Jill: Wait just one second here. You two are talking? To each other? This is very unexpected.

Lily: I know. I think we both just realized that when two people think they’re right, they stop listening.

Devon: And so I decided to pay attention to what lily was actually asking of me. And I did what I knew our dad would want me to do if he were here.

Lily: And I think we both realized, too, that we were heading down a path where we were really damaging our relationship.

Devon: Yeah. And family is way too important for that. So, as of tonight, I am no longer fighting the merger and I’m going to drop the suit.

Jill: Oh, my god. This is incredible. Oh, I’m so relieved. You know what? We need a special bottle of bubbly. What do you say we send somebody down the cellar and we’ll get a really great vintage?

Devon: Maybe we hold off on that for now.

Jill: What aren’t you telling me?

Lily: Well, he’s dropping the lawsuit, you know.

Devon: Yeah. It hasn’t resolved everything.

Nate: Look. Lily and devon are smiling with each other, all relaxed and maybe even happy.

Elena: They look like themselves again, the way things should be.

Nate: Thank god it happened, but I don’t know what did the trick.

Elena: Well, the only important thing is that they’re on the right path. And now we have something else to celebrate.

[ Glasses clink ] Okay. If those two can make amends and forgive themselves, then…

Nate: Anything’s possible.

Christine: Tonight turned out beautifully.

Nikki: Oh, thank you so much.

Sharon: So, how did things go with victoria and your father?

Adam: Uh, better than expected, actually.

Sharon: Well, that sounds promising.

Adam: I realized how fun it could be when my father and i get along.

Sharon: In what way?

Adam: Well, victoria is jealous. This father and son reunion is killing her. Just seeing her try not to work herself into a frenzy — it’s a gift that keeps giving.

Sharon: Adam…

Adam: I know what you’re gonna say. Okay? And you’re right. We’re not here to celebrate victoria driving herself crazy. Tonight is about genoa city’s bicentennial.

Sharon: That’s right. And as long as we are here celebrating history and fond memories and longevity, here’s to us, best of friends.

Adam: To us.

[ Glasses clink ]

Nina: Is this is where the party is?

Christine: [ Gasps ] Nina!

Nina: [ Laughs ]

Christine: Oh, my gosh, it’s so good to see you. What? No one told me you’d be here.

Nina: Well, I wanted to surprise everybody.

Christine: You look fabulous.

Nina: So do you! Thank you very much.

Christine: Wait, wait, wait. I just — it’s so good to see — I can’t believe you’re here.

Nina: I mean, wild horses weren’t gonna keep me away. I’m part of this town. You can’t celebrate without me.

Christine: That is the truth.

Nina: [ Chuckles ] Aww, it’s so good to be home.

[ Laughs ]

Nick: So, how you doing? You cold?

Sally: A little, yeah. But it was totally worth it. The rooftop view is gorgeous.

Nick: It’s nothing compared to what I’m looking at right now.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Sally: You, always with the right thing to say.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: Yeah, it makes up for the fact that I’ve been a subpar date.

Sally: Well, you’ve been attentive, courteous.

Nick: Haven’t even asked you to dance yet.

Sally: Well, I thought maybe it had something to do with your abilities.

Nick: Uh, what? Wh– did you just question my abilities as an answer?

Sally: I don’t know. I have heard things.

Nick: Oh, no, no. You — let’s go. It’s on.

Sally: [ Chuckling ] Okay.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Billy: Jack, I got to say, this is by far the best bicentennial gala this city has ever seen. In fact, I think I’m going to rsvp for the next one.

Jack: Yeah, you should do that.

Chelsea: Your brother is in full billy abbott mode tonight. I think he’s very pleased with himself over his new job at jabot. Billy told me the good news.

Jack: Oh, yeah. Funny how things work out, huh?

Chelsea: Yeah. This is the start of an exciting new era for your family and jabot.

Jack: Yeah. We hope so.

Billy: You okay?

Jack: Uh, yeah. I-I just have something I have to handle. Will you excuse me, please?

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Of course.

Summer: Maybe we’ve been too hard on her, set up too many rules and boundaries, and now she’s telling how proud she is of us? I mean, is this how she acts when she’s at her breaking point?

Daniel: We can’t be the only kids who are freaked out by their mom telling them how proud she is of them, can we?

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Daniel: I mean, are we the ones who are in need of repair?

Kyle: I think I need another champagne.

Daniel: You know, I’m gonna see if I can find her and figure out what the heck’s going on.

Summer: Yeah.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Kyle: Hey. Everything okay?

Jack: Yeah. A — a guy crashed into me. He was wearing a mask. Diane and I wondered if it was stark.

Kyle: What? You don’t think he’s here? Did he do something, say something?

Summer: No, he wouldn’t dare.

Jack: Security is already on the lookout.

Kyle: You just let them do their job and you do yours. Make tonight unforgettable.

Jack: You’re right. I got a big announcement to make.

Kyle: Where is your bride-to-be, anyway?

Jack: I wish I knew.

Diane: Kyle? It’s mom! Kyle? Hey, kyle, are you okay?

[ Sighs ]

[ Scoffs ] Classic phyllis. I should have known. What are you up to? Because whatever it is, I’m not playing. Just get out of my way.

Phyllis: Not yet.

Diane: We’re done here, phyllis. It’s over.

Phyllis: Oh, believe me, for the first time in your life, you are correct. It is so over. I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Christine: It is so good to see you. We’re gonna have a lot of fun.

Nina: I am so excited to see everybody. Of course there’s one vip who I’m just dying to give a big hug to, but it’s past his bedtime.

Christine: Your adorable grandson, dominic.

Nina: Yeah. Chance has him tomorrow, so i have to wait until then to see him, but — I don’t know. Some stupid visitation agreement or something.

Christine: Yeah, no, I know it’s hard. But from what I understand, chance is handling it pretty well. Speaking of which, where is he?

Nina: Oh, he’s on some big stakeout or something? I’m hoping he’ll be here later. Geez. Police work, right? It never ends.

Christine: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I know about that.

Nina: So, where’s paul? What, now that he’s retired, he’s out on the lake fishing all the time?

Christine: Uh, he’s in portugal, spending a bit more time with heather and lucy.

Nina: He had to go now, with all the excitement in town?

Christine: You know paul. Family first.

Victor: Esther, how have you been enjoying the evening so far?

Esther: Oh, my goodness, it’s a delightful night. Honoring neil, the excitement.

Nikki: Oh, we’re so glad you could be here.

Esther: Oh, me too. Mrs. C would have loved every minute of this, from the planning to the designing to greeting every guest at the door.

Nikki: And the very last to leave.

Esther: [ Laughs ] Boy, she sure knew how to throw a party. She brought out the best in people.

Nikki: Mm. I can see her now in an incredible gown, making her way through the crowd.

Esther: Yeah. Every stranger a friend.

Victor: Well, wait a minute. Every stranger was on guard because, as you know — we all know — katherine had a tongue as sharp as a knife, you know?

Esther: Yeah.

Nikki: Endlessly entertaining.

Victor: Yes.

Esther: Yes. It’s almost like she’s here now.

Victor: Yes. I miss katherine. I think we all do.

Nikki: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Cheers to her.

Esther: To mrs. C.

[ Glasses clink ]

Kyle: Uh, aunt traci. Have you seen my mom?

Traci: Kyle. Hi, sweetie. No, no, I haven’T. But you know what? If I do see her, I will tell her that you’re looking for her.

Kyle: Yeah. Thanks.

Leanna: Excuse me. I couldn’t help overhearing

[Inhales sharply] But I think I may be of assistance.

Kyle: What, you’ve seen my mom — diane?

Leanna: She was on her way upstairs after a little chat with [Whispering] Phyllis.

Kyle: Oh, no.

Leanna: Can I ask you something? How’s it been for you having your dad and mother back in your life?

Kyle: Look, I don’t know you, but I take it you never stop looking for trouble.

Leanna: Why would I, my dear? It’s what I do best.

Diane: Tricking me into thinking kyle was sick? You know, that’s a new low, even for you. No wonder you’re alone tonight. You’ve tried for months to unmask me, but the only thing you’ve accomplished is letting everyone get a glimpse of your truly desperate existence.

Phyllis: My goodness, you know so much about me, but you just don’t know when to shut up.

Diane: You’re the problem, phyllis. You couldn’t let it go. And now everyone sees who you really are. So, if you’ll excuse me, my family needs me.

Phyllis: You’re not going anywhere until I say so.

Diane: [ Gasping ]

[ Breathing heavily ] (Wheezing)

Nate: Why are you watching me like that?

Elena: Because everyone thinks you are the most debonair, relaxed man in this room, but they don’t know you like I know you.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] What is the casual observer missing?

Elena: That your mind is working in overtime right now and that you can’t figure out how in the world devon and lily are even in the same room without fighting.

Nate: I don’t care about the method, just the results. And they seem to be on track.

Elena: Well, maybe now you can let go of the guilt and your sense of responsibility that you were feeling when they were fighting.

Nate: And concentrate on other, more pressing concerns.

Elena: For instance?

Nate: You.

Elena: Tell me more.

Nate: I — I keep having these thoughts going around and around in my head. Here you are in this unbelievable dress, and all i can think about is getting you back home.

Elena: Hmm. Sounds like you’re reading my mind.

Nate: But first… may I have this dance?

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Elena: Smooth.

Nate: Why do you seem surprised?

Elena: It’s been a while.

[ Light laughter ]

Billy: Huge turnout.

Chelsea: Yeah. Yeah. Huge.

Billy: You okay? You need anything?

Chelsea: Mm, no, I’m good.

Billy: Okay.

Chelsea: I’m great. This — this beats staying home and watching old movies any day.

Billy: Good.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] Yeah, um…

Leanna: [ Gasps ] Well, look who’s here. Billy abbott. It’s been too long.

Billy: Not long enough.

Leanna: [ Laughs ] Aren’t you going to introduce me?

Billy: Chelsea, this is —

Leanna: Chelsea lawson. I am world-famous journalista leanna love. It’s a pleasure. You have stories, and I want to know them all. What do you say to carving out a few minutes for me? We should talk. What’s the #1 retinol brand

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Kyle: Hey, babe.

Summer: Hey. Any luck finding diane?

Kyle: Nothing.

Summer: Jack sent a text and he didn’t hear back, so we need to track her down.

Kyle: And leanna saw my mom going upstairs after talking to your mother.

Summer: Upstairs where?

Kyle: She’s not on the roof. Maybe a suite?

Summer: Kyle, I — I was thinking, we haven’t seen my mom in a while, either, not since the speeches. And now they’ve both disappeared?

[ Sighs ]

Diane: [ Chuckling ] Oh. Should I take off my diamonds and heels so we can have a good old-fashioned catfight? Is that what you want?

Phyllis: No. No. You’re not worth the trouble, diane.

Diane: Yeah, and you’re not worth my time. You see, there’s an incredibly handsome man downstairs who adores me, and he is minutes away from making an announcement that will change our lives forever.

Phyllis: Unless he’s gonna tell everybody what a manipulative bitch you are, I’m not interested.

Diane: You will be. Phyllis, you have spent so much energy trying to get me out of your life. But guess what. I’m not going anywhere.

Phyllis: Oh, that is right. You are not going anywhere… until you listen to what i have to tell you.

Adam: You should go in the lounge and kick up your heels, sharon.

Sharon: Yeah. The music’s great, isn’t it?

Adam: [ Laughs ] I know how much you love to dance. You know, there’s a lot of potential dance partners out there. Unless you are, uh, waiting for someone in particular?

[ Laughter ]

Traci: Oh, nina. I hope this evening never ends. All these familiar faces all together.

Nina: It really has been wonderful, hasn’t it? I mean, I just love catching up with everyone.

Traci: Everyone?

Nina: [ Chuckles ] Well, there’s just, you know, one or two people I don’t need to see.

[ Both laugh ] But so far, it’s been fun.

Traci: I actually find it kind of entertaining to run into the people I don’t need to see.

Abby: It wasn’t even his umbrella!

[ Both laughing ]

Traci: Nina? I think I might have lost you.

Nina: I’m sorry. Just random work thoughts.

Traci: Oh, really? Are you writing anything interesting?

Nina: As a matter of fact, I am. It’s about an overprotective mother who’s obsessed with her son, who, on the most exciting night of the year, has decided to skip the party because he’s afraid to run into the last woman he loved because she shredded his heart. He’s such a good soul. He deserves to be happy. But he probably blames himself for what happened.

Traci: Um, this sounds a little specific.

Nina: You know, I’m sorry. I’m just figuring out chance may not be on a big stakeout at all. I think he skipped this gala to avoid her.

Daniel: [ Laughing ] That’s the one!

Abby: That’s it!

Daniel: That’s it!

[ Both laughing ]

Traci: Abby. Look, I know their breakup was really shocking, but I thought they were getting along.

Nina: Yeah, well, chance probably made it look that way because he’s such a good person, but she broke his heart. She hurt him. He didn’t deserve that.

Nikki: No, of course he didn’T.

Nina: I think I’ve got some things to say to her.

Traci: Uh, nina, right now? I mean, seriously. Everyone is having a wonderful time. Do you think that’s wise?

Nina: I came a long way to get here. I am so not interested in being wise.

Daniel: Thank you!

Nina: I’m gonna go talk to her.

Daniel: I’ll take any chance I get to laugh these days.

[ Laughs ]

Abby: Oh, no.

Daniel: Oh, no, what? Oh, no.

Nina: Daniel, would you mind if I had a few words with abby? Alone. Having diabetes can raise a lot of questions.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Jill: Devon, what are you saying?

Devon: I’m saying that lily and I still have a lot to figure out just ’cause we still have very different approaches to the way we do business.

Lily: I think what devon is too polite to say is that it’s gonna take him a while to trust me again.

Devon: Well, no. Listen. The most important thing here is you and you being in my life. So, moving forward, if there’s anything that could possibly jeopardize our relationship, it has to be gone.

Jill: Am I hearing you right? Are you telling me that you would consider walking away from chancellor-winters?

Lily: Well, let’s just give devon some time to think about things, right? I mean, this is all happening really fast.

Jill: So, would tomorrow be too soon?

[ Laughter ]

Devon: How about we take one step at a time?

Jill: Well, can you blame me for wanting to get back to the fun stuff? You know, the buying, the selling, the taking over the world?

Devon: Yeah, no, I can’t blame you at all, jill.

Jill: Seriously, thank you so much for agreeing to end this hideous chapter. And then we can all start a new one, right?

Devon: I’d say so.

Jill: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Cheers to that.

Jill: Cheers to that.

Lily: Cheers. [ Chuckles ]

Nina: How could you?

Abby: I never meant —

Nina: No, really. Please explain to me what chance ever did to make you think that he deserved to be treated like that.

Abby: Nothing. Chance didn’t do —

Nina: You know, when I heard it, I thought, “no, it’s a lie.” It couldn’t be true. How could it be? You were the one who refused to believe the stories of his death when he was overseas. And you went there and you found him and you brought him back to his son and to his family, just to break his heart?

Abby: That was never my intention.

Nina: Oh, you didn’t mean to destroy his dreams of having a family with you? Well, that’s nice to hear. I’d hate to think what hell you would unleash if you meant to hurt him.

Abby: I loved chance with all of my heart.

Nina: No, except the part that slept with devon. Devon! Dominic’s biological father. It’s like you went out and you found the one person to hurt chance the most.

Abby: It wasn’t like that.

Nina: No?

Abby: No. And, look, I am sorry. I will forever be sorry for the pain that I caused chance. He didn’t deserve that.

Nina: I really hope that he gets past what you did to him because I never will.

Never.

Sharon: If I want to ask someone to dance, I will do so. I don’t need you to do it for me.

Adam: Of course not. But time is passing away. I just thought maybe you were waiting for gcpd’s number-one detective.

Sharon: Chance? Yeah. You know, I — I thought he was gonna be here tonight.

Adam: I’m sure he’ll be here soon.

Sharon: Are you trying to set me up?

Adam: What? I’m not. But if you need a wingman, here I am.

Sharon: And you think it would be with chance? Chance was rey’s partner and someone who loved him. Yeah, he’s really handsome and attractive. So, maybe in another lifetime — I don’t know — I would let you play the role of the wingman, um, but we’re just friends. That’s it.

Adam: Okay. I hear you. And I will back off. I just — I think you deserve…

Sharon: What? Romance?

Adam: You deserve to be happy, sharon. And, yes, you have a big, full life, absolutely, but…

Sharon: No “buts.” I do. I am happy. I mean, maybe some people think my life is a little bit quiet, but, trust me, I have had enough drama and chaos to last me a lifetime. A little peace and quiet suits me just fine right now.

Adam: Mm. Then I stand corrected.

Sharon: And, besides, soon I’m gonna have aria, and that will make things interesting — and loud.

[ Chuckles ]

Adam: I’m gonna have someone interesting and loud of my own in a few months, too.

Sharon: Mm-hmm. Well, I think it’s — it’s important to be grateful for what you have and not stay fixated on what you don’T. I think that’s the key to happiness.

Devon: God, I wish he was here. He would love this place so much.

Lily: He would. What do you think he would say if he were here right now?

Devon: Oh. “Turn up the music”?

Lily: [ Laughs ] Oh, my god.

Devon: Right?

Lily: He would. He also would say that the picture is really good, but that he’s definitely more handsome in person.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: You know that, right?

Devon: Yeah. And then he would probably ask you to dance…

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: …And then tell you how proud he is of both of us.

Lily: Family wins over everything.

Devon: Always.

Leanna: Chelsea, if memory serves, you are adam newman’s ex. Oh, there’s been a nick newman interlude or two, and now you’re here with billy abbott. And what do I recall about a bride being left at the altar? Huh! What a tangled web we weave.

Billy: No one’s weaving anything here, leanna.

Leanna: Does this run in the family? Because I know that jack recently went into his treasure trove of love affairs for his latest paramour.

Billy: Don’t you have anything better to do?

Leanna: Uh…no. Tell me more about you. No more podcasting, said goodbye to fashion design. What’s next for chelsea lawson, huh?

Chloe: E-excuse me. Excuse me.

Chelsea: I…

Chloe: Hi. Okay. We’re done here. We are happy to answer questions later, when hell freezes over. Come on.

Billy: This room is full of people. Go find someone else to annoy.

Chelsea: You’re here. You came.

Chloe: Yeah. It’s a good thing I did. You were lost in the headlights.

Chelsea: Thank you. I…

[ Sighs ] I can always count on you, can’t I?

Chloe: Yeah, damn right you can.

Chelsea: [ Exhales heavily ]

Billy: Hey. You okay?

Chloe: Hey, where were you, billy? Come on. What are you doing? You’re supposed to be protecting our girl here and not let that reporter badger her.

Billy: Yeah, I-I should have cut that off sooner. I apologize.

Chloe: No, see, the problem is you were taught to be polite to them, and I just don’t have that issue.

Billy: No. No, you do not.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] Okay. I’m really sorry. I have to get going. I have to keep my mother from embarrassing herself. You just can’t take her anywhere. Holler if you need me.

Chelsea: I will.

Chloe: It just never ends.

Billy: Sorry about that. I-I apologize. You okay? Can I get anything for you?

Chelsea: [ Sniffles ]

[ Voice breaking ] I’m okay.

Chelsea: [ Exhales heavily ]

Billy: Okay, let’s just focus on the moment, okay? Let’s just…focus on right here, right now. What do you see?

Chelsea: [ Sniffles, exhales heavily ] You.

Billy: Okay. Great. And I’m not going anywhere, okay?

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] That was embarrassing.

Billy: No, it wasn’T. It wasn’T. Your flight-or-fight kicked in, as it does when you get overwhelmed. You told me that before. Everything’s okay.

Chelsea: [ Breathing deeply ]

Billy: And flight it is. Okay. Let’s get out of here.

Chelsea: No, no, no. Don’t do that. I’ll — I’ll get a — I’ll get a ride share. I don’t want to ruin your night.

Billy: Chelsea, the only thing that’s gonna ruin my night is if I have to go back in there without you, okay? That’s the way it’s gonna be. You go, I go.

Christine: Was that really necessary?

Nina: Very much so.

Christine: Confronting her like that? You are the last person I would ever expect to do that.

Nina: Hey, if you don’t think abby needed a talking-to, i don’t know what to say.

Christine: No, no, no, that’s not what I’m saying.

Nina: Well, good.

Esther: So, miles wanted me to be mother goose, but then bella thought that I shou– uh, why do I get the feeling that you’re not listening to me anymore?

Chloe: Oh, mom. You know, I love your stories about bella and miles, but i think that’s because they’re my kids.

Esther: Chloe, honey, we are celebrating our town’s heritage and history. And who’s part of that history? Me. And if I want to brag about those brilliant children…

Jill: I think that i distinctly heard the voice of someone stirring up trouble.

Nina: Just the aftermath.

Jill: Oh! Even better! Come on. Tell me everything. Did you lay into abby?

Nina: That girl’s behavior is completely unacceptable. And that’s all I’ve got to say about it.

Jill: [ Laughs ]

Nina: What? Am I missing something?

Christine: Well, mm, the irony, perhaps.

Nina: What?

Jill: No, well, maybe if you, like, flip back a few chapters in genoa city history, you’ll come across the story of phillip chancellor the third.

Christine: Who was my boyfriend.

Chloe: Ooh, I like this.

Jill: Yes, you’re gonna like this. You seduced him and gave birth to his child.

Nina: Yes, well, I’m aware. It’s just — you know, it’s not the same thing. The situations are completely… yeah, you’re right.

Jill: [ Laughs ]

Nina: Sorry.

[ Laughter ]

Esther: You were a fright when you lived with mrs. C.

Jill: I didn’t think anybody could drive her up the wall the way I did.

Nina: Well, my point is that I love both of my phillipps, and I believe I have displayed extraordinary growth, personally and morally.

Christine: Yes, you have.

Nina: Thank you. And, yes, there have been a few bumps along the way, but I got here. Isn’t that what counts?

Jill: Hey, girls, here’s to the bumps that led us all here.

Nina: Hear, hear!

Chloe: Hear, hear.

Christine: Cheers.

[ Laughter ]

Jack: Hey. Still no sign of diane?

Kyle: No mom, no phyllis. Anything?

Summer: I spoke with the front desk and I finally got him to admit that there is a room registered under my mom’s name.

Kyle: Why would she book a room?

Summer: I don’t know. Maybe she wanted to crash after the party.

Jack: They have both been gone quite a while.

Kyle: Leanna said she saw mom going upstairs after talking to phyllis.

Jack: We better get up there now.

Kyle: Yeah.

Phyllis: The only worthwhile thing about you, diane, is your son, but the rest of you? Nothing. You’re disgusting. You’re a criminal, diane.

Diane: [ Scoffs ] You are throwing stones from a glass house.

Phyllis: Oh, my god! You let me take the fall for burning down the pool house years ago. I was in jail. It didn’t matter to you. You got off scot-free. Let’s not forget, I was on the long list of suspects in your presumed murder.

Diane: And what? What? What, phyllis? What? You want to — you want a do-over? You want a blanket apology for the last 20 years?

Phyllis: Oh, my god. Look at you. Look at you, still not taking responsibility. “Oh, I pretended my death, but here I am, everybody! Oh, no big deal, no big deal!” Why didn’t you stay dead? Why?! Why are you not dead?

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: I’ll tell you why. Because you were erased from our memory. Erased. We forgot about you. You didn’t matter to us. So you don’t matter. And I killed you. So you had to come back and take everything that was mine.

Diane: I wasn’t thinking about you at all.

Phyllis: You were thinking about me all the time. I am the only one who sees through your act. And I am the only one who will continue to see through everything that you do. I don’t buy these fake tears and this reformed act. It is a lie. And you are terrified that I am gonna expose your latest con, aren’t you?

Terrified of me.

Diane: Ha!

Phyllis: And you should be terrified of me. So you tried to take away everything that was mine and everything that I loved.

[ Breathes deeply ] Jack. My job.

[ Voice breaking ] My relationship with my daughter. The respect that my son had for me. And you tried to leave me with nothing.

Diane: You poor, delusional woman.

Phyllis: Don’t you dare pity me. You know who I pity? I pity the people that you’ve lied to and the people that you will betray in a few months. And that is jack, kyle, and that sweet little harrison. See, because eventually you’ll expose yourself and this mask will fall and they will be left with you, the psychotic, despicable lunatic that you are. And they will wish that you are six feet under. They will wish and they will look at you with disgust!

Diane: That’s enough. There is only one evil bitch in this room, and I am looking right at her. Remember the things you loved

Victor: Jill.

Jill: Ah!

Victor: My goodness.

Jill: I’ve come to say farewell, victor. It’s been wonderful seeing everyone. Well, almost everyone.

Victor: What’s the matter? You leaving us already?

Jill: Yes. This evening has already proved to be more than I could have ever dreamed of.

Victor: Really?

Jill: Mm.

Victor: Did I have anything to do with your change of fortune?

Jill: Yes, you did.

Victor: Oh, yeah?

Jill: The money that you invested in chancellor-winters has already paid off. Devon is dropping the lawsuit.

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Victor: That happened sooner than I had thought.

Jill: I agree with you. It did. But the merger stays in place. Now, whether or not he stays or walks away from it, whether or not he buys mccall or he turns tucker down the way you want him to, that’s all still in question.

Victor: Huh. Well, well, well, well. But you know that in business I have a lot of patience.

Jill: I know you do.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: That’s crazy.

[ Both laugh ]

Adam: I miss this. You know, not just the relationship or the romance, but the, uh, friendship.

Sally: I miss our friendship, too. You saw things in me that no one else ever did.

Adam: No, I could see how amazing you were from the moment we met.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Devon: How you doing? Mwah.

Abby: Wait, I was looking for you. Is everything okay?

Devon: Yeah. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you that I was gonna step out, but lily and I had some things we needed to say to each other.

Abby: Good things, I hope?

Devon: Yeah. Really good things, actually. We had a long talk and we forgave each other for everything we’ve been going through and I’ve decided to stop fighting the merger.

Abby: Wait. So, the lawsuit…

Devon: Doesn’t exist.

Abby: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s incredible. I know that wasn’t easy for you.

Devon: Yeah. I mean, it’s like lily said. We’ve been through rough times before. So, I know we can get through this.

[ Laughter ]

Daniel: You’re gonna have to repeat yourself. Uh, between the music and the alcohol, I must have misunderstood.

Lily: No, you heard me. Jill canceled the ipo and devon dropped the lawsuit.

Daniel: That’s incredible!

Lily: Yeah!

Daniel: You got a reset!

Lily: [ Laughs ] I know! I mean, we have to do a lot more work on our relationship, but I’m happy.

Daniel: No, you’re both willing to try. I mean, that’s all that matters.

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: I’d say you had a pretty good day.

Lily: I did have a good day.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: You know what would make it better?

Daniel: Hmm?

Lily: If you dance with me.

Daniel: [ Clears throat ] Well…

Lily: Uh-oh.

[ Laughs ]

[ Glass thuds ]

Daniel: Liquid courage. Be careful of what you ask for.

[ Mid-tempo jazz music playing ]

Diane: Ever since I came back, you have tried to blame me for your reckless, self-destructive behavior. You know, jack and I are sick to death of your pathetic attempts to paint yourself as the hero or the victim when you’re clearly the villain. The only way you can elevate yourself is by dragging everyone else down, and it is a disgusting, despicable compulsion.

[ Scoffs ] Your family is embarrassed by you. And your friends? Ha! Look around. Look around. Where are they? You have used up every last bit of patience and goodwill that they had for you, and now you’re alone. You did this! You drove everyone away! You are the reason that your life is such a dismal failure! And if you can’t get out of your own way, then just get the hell out of mine.

Phyllis: No, you’re not going anywhere. Oh! You bitch.

Diane: Ohh!

Phyllis: Bring it! Bring it! Bring it! Ah! Ahhhh!

Diane: I should do the world a favor and strangle you to death!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[Door opens] – What do you know? There goes victor’s latest stooge. – Well, robert. What a nice surprise. What brings you to the metro court this evening? – After all these years, I have come too far– oh, no, no, no, no, no. I will not be denied again.

[Phone rings] – It’s the da’s office. I’m in the middle of a meeting. I already told you, I need more time before I get back to the office. – Time’s up! Get out, now. – I’m sorry. I can’T. – Eileen– – what’s going on? – Oh, my god, she’s going to blow up the whole operation. Eileen, is victor not letting you leave? – No, you can wait for me. – Whatever it is that you’re thinking, don’T. – I can’t really talk right now, but don’t worry. When I get there, I will have all the answers you need, and we won’t have to meet again. – Eileen? Oh, my god, she hung up. – You think he’s on to her? – I don’t know. Ok, I’m calling her again. Oh, god.

[Line trilling] – I’m so sorry for the interruption.

[Phone rings] That won’t happen again. Putting my phone on silent. – Look, you might as well leave, eileen. You– you’ve done your part. – Victor, I don’t want to leave you unhappy. Can’t I do something… to make you feel better?

[Knock at door] – I have the information you were waiting for. – Oh, come in. Not here. Follow me.

[Suspenseful music] – [Sighs]

[Knock at door] – Come on, maxie. Answer my text. Answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer, answer me! Oh! – Hello, lucy. How are you tonight? – Um, I’m– I’m good. Uh, well, that is, if your daughter would just answer my texts. – Oh, maxie’s diligent about responding to text messages. Unless, of course, she’s in a meeting and she can’T. – Unless, of course, she’s choosing not to answer me.

[Sighs] Oh! – There’s that. Anna, valentin, what’s going on? – Eileen’s delivered the counterfeit necklace to victor, but now she’s refusing to pick up the phone. – Do you thing he’s on to her? – It’s impossible to say, but we’re afraid eileen’s gone rogue. – She’s putting herself, us, the whole operation in jeopardy.

[Muffled pop music] – Cam, what the hell? I know this is your party, but– – it’s his party, yes. He’s the man of the hour. Hey, cam. – Hi, grandma. – Good to see you. – I know my, uh, guests are unexpected. – Esme, welcome. – Um, for the record, this wasn’t my idea. Cameron invited me. – This is my son’s going-away party. He can invite anyone he wants. Hi. It’s nice to see you outside of spring ridge. – Well, I don’t respond well to being locked up. As you know.

[Tense music] – Yes, the nurses’ ball is officially sold out. But you’ve been so generous to the hospital, I will see what I can do about squeezing in a party of four. Ok.

[Sighs] – Brook lynn, your list of performers is fantastic. You have totally outdone yourself. What a great lineup! – I agree, brook lynn. You did such a fantastic job recruiting people. – Thank you. Well, now on to the hard part. What order do they perform in? – Everybody knows this is for a great cause, so I think they’ll just put their egos aside. They’ll accept whatever order we come up with. – How do people hear something is sold out and still expect to get tickets? I have to add another table. – Where? We have to stick with the fire code. – I’m sure I can figure something out.

[Phones rings] Oh. Maxie. – Why are you ignoring my texts? And– and what are you hiding? What are you doing to my show? – Hello again. Let me go someplace more private. – Ok. Show order. Let’s start with the easy calls. Uh, gh doctors and nurses will start, obvs. But then what? – The second and third acts can’t be from gh nurses, since they’ll need time to change. – Right. The nurses will be a good emotional beginning. But then the next act, it really needs to grab the audience’s attention. It has to be exciting, you know, have sex appeal. What act sends the message that you are in for the night of your life, and you don’t want to miss a single minute?

[Dramatic music]


– This is not what we agreed to. Text only, no more phone calls. – Maxie. Maxie, listen to me. I’m sorry. I really am not trying to micromanage you. It’s just, you don’t know what it feels like to be stuck in this safe house. Oh, with the nurses’ ball– my baby– is going on without me. – And I hear that, but I can either talk to you or get the nurses’ ball going. I can’t do both. – Well, that’s where you’re wrong. I have an idea. – Bobbie, I’m here for my rehearsal. – Oh, felix is running rehearsals right next door. – Thank you. – Chase, you’re here. Great. Uh, did you bring a copy of your song lyrics for the director? – I did. – Oh, great. Um, where’s blaze? I figured you two would show up together. – Oh, I’m sorry. She texted me and said she couldn’t make it tonight. – What? This is her final rehearsal. She can’t just wing it on the big night. – I’ll just– I’ll go over the routine with her. I’ll make sure she knows it. Blaze is a total pro. It’ll go off without a hitch. – From your lips. – Whatever’s going on with you and chase, he is clearly not indifferent to you. Don’t give up hope. – Trust me, there’s no hope. Chase made that very clear to me yesterday.

[Sighs] – Diane, always a pleasure. What brings you here? – Oh, I just finished a painfully boring dinner with an out-of-town client. What about you? – Well, I’m due to meet a contact here for a drink, but I– starting to think I’ve been stood up. – I don’t buy that for a second. – Esme, don’t make me regret bringing you. And do not talk to my mom like that. – It’s ok. She was just speaking her truth. Again, I am sorry for everything.

[Baby cooing] – My mom just apologized. I feel like you should acknowledge that. Remember what you were saying earlier about wanting to be a better person? – I am sorry, elizabeth, and I do appreciate your apology. But I really think that I should just go. It’s pretty obvious no one wants me here. – Ok, because of your past, esme. You have to try to show people that you’re a changed person. There is a life for you here. You just got to try. – Why don’t you hand me your diaper bag, and I’ll help you get settled in. – Ok. – Over here. – So tell me what happened. – Well, I might have been walking to your apartment, and I might have caught esme trying to walk through the front door. – Oh, ok. And I am guessing that she wasn’t just going for a walk. – You know what, she actually tried to convince me otherwise. But after some grilling, she later admitted that she was trying to leave town for good with ace. I eventually talked her down, but i didn’t want to chance leaving her alone, so I brought them here. – Thank you. – I’m going to have a quick chat with esme about trying to take off with my little brother. – Spencer, no. Not now. Not here. – Cameron webber! I can’t believe that you’re headed to stanford. This town won’t be the same.

[Baby fussing] What the hell is esme doing here? – Um, what happened to jake and aiden? – Cam told me that their family is going to have a special goodbye breakfast for him on the day he leaves. – Oh. I didn’t know. God, it’s just so weird to see esme with a baby. They need to get that poor kid the hell away from her as soon as possible. Memory or no memory, she’s still bad news. – So we called eileen’s cell, she picked up, and then she refused to leave victor’s room. – Do you think she’s double-crossed us? – I don’t know. I don’t think so. She said that she would be able to get us all the answers that we need. Oh, my god, do you know what she’s doing? She’s going after the decryption key. – Well, that’s good. Because we already have the real ice princess necklace, complete with correct code. If she can deliver the decryption key, then we don’t have to follow victor. We’ll be one step ahead. – I don’t know. People who think they’re one step ahead of victor cassadine have a tendency of getting stabbed in the back.

[Tense music] – I thought we weren’t going to be interrupted again. – I didn’t know how long you two were going to take, and my real job is very demanding. – Oh, you work for me. That’s the only job that’s important, remember? Your very life depends on it. – I’m well aware. But I do have a meeting that I have to go to with the zoning board, so– – you will leave when I say you can leave. You’re not done yet.

[Ominous music]


[Muffled pop music] – Epiphany, why aren’t you calling me back? – I knew my grandmother shouldn’t have left esme alone. – You don’t have to watch her every single second. – I can sure as hell try. – I have a better idea. Since esme can’t remember her past, she’s like a blank slate. Can we at least try to coexist with her? – You want me to be nice to her? After everything that she’s done? – I didn’t say that. But we can at least try to turn down the overt hostility. – I really screwed things up with chase. – You sure? Tell me what happened. – Tell me, brook lynn, if you signed that non-disclosure agreement so that I could stop singing and I could be a cop– if you were so convinced that you were doing the right thing, that you were doing it for me– then why wouldn’t you just tell me? Why make up some story about writing advertising jingles for linc? I’ll tell you why. Because you knew I would be angry, and you knew that what you did was wrong. But you were right about one thing. You’re not the person I thought you were. – I blew it. Epic fail. There is no going back. – Brook lynn, what’s wrong? – Nothing. Let’s, uh, figure out the show order. – Well, I think we should just start at the end and work backwards. – [Scoffs] Bobbie, you would say something like that. That is ridiculous. Maxie, don’t listen to her. – So maxie, are you going to be the one to announce how much money we made and say good night? – No, no. I think someone from gh should do that. – Oh. – It won’t be the same without lucy. I miss her. – It’s funny, I feel like lucy is right here in the room with us. – I miss you too, sasha. So much. You are a good egg. – But since lucy isn’t here to be the mistress of ceremonies, there’s really one possible choice. It has to be you, bobbie. – (Screaming) no! – I mean, who would stand up robert scorpio? – [Chuckles] Well, it’s a business meeting. I mean, not a date. – [Laughs] I still find it criminal that two people such as ourselves are working at this hour. – Oh, come on. You’re killer miller. You’re never off the clock. – [Laughs] Well, I wouldn’t say never. But I’d be happy to put it all aside if I got the right offer.

[Phone ringing] – Excuse me. This is my business contact. I got to take this one. You know, justice never sleeps. – Right. Have a good night. – What’s up? – Eileen is still with victor. You need to go in there and get her out. – I’m on it.

[Suspenseful music] – Well, hello again. – I thought you were leaving. – I was, but alexis called. She’s still working late. Wants me to meet her for dessert upstairs. So come on, I’ll ride up with you. – Hm. – I still don’t have the information my brother mikkos engraved onto the ice princess. – I brought you the necklace. The decryption key failed you, not me. You said so yourself. – Regardless, I need more time. I need you to return this necklace to the pcpd secure locker room, so no one will know it went missing. That’ll give my people time to work on the decryption key, see where we went wrong. – I only am sorry you couldn’t crack the code. I truly was hoping this would all be finished tonight. – I promise you, eileen, you’ll be done with this very soon. There’s just one more thingI need you to do for me.

[Tense music]


– (On phone) no, I’m not sure I should be the one to close the nurses’ ball. What about elizabeth, or felix, or deanna? – Finally, you actually said something right, bobbie. It definitely should not be you! – (On phone) true, they’re all nurses. But this is the 60th anniversary. You have been at the hospital the longest, and you’re co-chair of the nurses’ ball. – [Sighs] You know what, sasha? You really don’t need to be quite so literal. I mean, I wasn’t even a candy striper and I represented gh just fine. Anybody but bobbie. Why bobbie? Not bobbie spencer, ok? The– the ball needs to end with a bang, not a whimper! – Stop it! – Maxie, you all right? – Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry. I’ll shut up. Mm. I’m– mm. Shut up. – I’m– I’m sorry for yelling.

[Laughs nervously] It’s just all this talk about lucy, it’s creating this relentless chatter in my head, telling me that the nurses’ ball is not going to be good this year. – Cut yourself some slack, maxie. You are working so hard. We all are. The ball is going to be great. – I agree with sasha. I’ve worked a lot of balls with lucy, and I know what she would want. – That’s right, felix. You tell them. – I think lucy would be behind you 100%, bobbie. – Et tu, felix? No. Please, anyone but bobbie! – You know what, felix? I agree with you. I just need to tell that annoying voice in my head to shut up. – Maxie? Maxie?

[Stammering] Maxie? Come back. Come back!

[Squeals] – Laura, esme and the baby are staying with you? I know you like to take risks, but i think that’s a little crazy. – I know, I know. It– the thing is, esme’s baby is completely innocent. And it’s my grandchild, and I feel like I need to protect him. – What– what the hell is this? – Club soda. – Where’s the vodka? I mean, cameron’s underage, but I’m not. – I take it liesl’s still mad at you? – Yeah. I went to her apartment and she threw all my suits in the hallway. There was actually people trying them on. – [Laughs] – Scott, I’m really sorry I’ve caused this rift between you and liesl. – It is not your fault, elizabeth. Not your fault, ok? So how did the ethics committee go? – I got reinstated. – Ok, good! You get to keep your job. – But I’m worried i may have lost a friend. – I thought you were heading upstairs for a drink? – Well, plans changed. She now wants to meet in her room. – Well, if your contact is staying here in the hotel, why were you waiting for her in the lobby?

[Muffled country music] – Um, my arm fell asleep. – Try switching arms every once in a while. – Oh. That’s better, thanks. – So you met spencer in boarding school. You didn’t ever babysit before that? – I have no idea. I mean, I don’t remember anything before I woke up at gh. – Right. Sorry. – Um, I– I heard about what I did to you in the past, the revenge porn. But I swear, I don’t have any memory of doing it, or even know why that I would. – Yeah. That’s what you keep saying. – And I honestly hope that I never remember. I mean, I don’t want to be that person. I– I just want to be a good mom to ace. It’s important to me that i set a good example for him. I mean, that’s all that matters to me now. – Victor cassadine has a room on this floor. Is that why you’re here? – You should get back on the elevator and go and find alexis. – Uh-huh. What has victor done now? – Actually, it’s eileen ashby I’m looking for. – The deputy mayor?

[Knocks] – Victor, open up! – You sure victor’s in there? – Well, he was five minutes ago. – Maybe victor has left the building. – I just hope he hasn’t left a corpse behind. – A corpse? Well, this is getting good. So what are you going to do now? – Well, I’m going to kick in the door. And you– you’re going to find alexis. – Hm. – What do you know? And that’s never worked before. Hm. – Why hasn’t robert called us back? – I don’t know. He’s in the middle of something, or there’s no update. – Eileen can’t still be with victor. – Just worried that she’s pushed him too hard, you know? Victor was already suspicious of her, and maybe now he’s realized that she’s working against him. – Well, if he knows, then we’re done. Because eileen would turn on us in a heartbeat. – Or maybe she saw an opportunity, and she jumped on it. If she can get victor’s decryption key, then that’s going to make things a lot easier for us. – If we still have the real necklace, then we have the advantage. – Yeah. – Because victor needs it. He’s been looking for it for a long time. He can’t move forward without it. – I just hope he hasn’t decided that eileen is standing in his way. – [Sighs] – I thought you were going to kick the door down. – Yeah. Well, I suddenly remembered I wasn’t 25 anymore. – Allow me. – Where’d you get that? – I found a maid, i borrowed her master key, and the city needs to reimburse me $40. – Stay back. – Ok.

[Lock beeps]

[Ominous music]


– Ok. Thanks for the update. Yeah. – Well? – [Sighs] Robert got into victor’s room. Neither of them were there. It was empty. – How’d they get past robert? – I don’t know. I mean, service elevator or something? He said there was no sign of a struggle. – So eileen went with him willingly. – Either that, or they overpowered her and took her out back in a laundry cart. – Oh, it doesn’t do us any good to assume the worst. Where do you think victor took her? – I don’t know. I mean, it all depends on whether eileen blew her cover or not. – Bobbie, I think you are the perfect person to end the ball. – Well, I am honored, really. But there are other nurses deserving of that honor. – What if it causes friction? I mean, whoever we ask, someone else is bound to feel slighted. – I don’t really think we have to worry about that. Ok, what the heck. Maybe I should do it anyway. – What changed your mind? – If anything could bring lucy back from the grave, it would be seeing me up on that stage instead of her.

[Laughter] – I’ve been trying to reach epiphany, but no luck. – I told elizabeth I think that she’s probably just really busy. She’s probably having the time of her life checking out johns hopkins’ campus. – I just can’t help but feel she’s avoiding me. – I don’t think that’s epiphany’s style. – Yeah, I agree with laura here. Because you know, she’s a straight shooter. I know that from personal experience with epiphany. – I’m sure when she gets back to town, you’ll hear from her. – I hope so. – You ok? – Terrific. I’m the one who should be leaving town, not you. – Well, I think that you’re better off here. Esme, where would you go? You can’t raise ace by yourself. – I mean, charlie’s is full of people, but I’m still on my own. – It doesn’t have to be that way, esme. It’s your choice. – Ok. So for your song, chase, what kind of lighting are you looking for? – Well, it’s a love song, so I figured keep it simple. – Really? Because in my book, there’s nothing simple about love. I do know someone who might have some ideas, though. Hey, brook lynn. – Hey. – We need your $0.02. – About what? – How do you feel about love? – Why did you bring me here? – I like privacy for these kinds of things. – What kind of thing?

[Screams] What the– what are you doing? Oh– – [Clicking tongue] Oh, this doesn’t belong to you, eileen. I wonder why I shouldn’t just kill you right now? – Because I know things. – Such as? – Valentin and anna aren’t dead. They’re alive, and in port charles.


– I need some direction here– for lighting, for set design. So let’s get to the basics. Is it a sad love song or a happy one? – I’d say it’s a happy one, filled with love and optimism. – Is it, though? The lyrics are full of yearning. – And passion. – What you had, but lost. – I mean, is it ever really lost? Chemistry doesn’t fade away. – No, chemistry doesn’t fade away. But it can take a wrong turn, and then where are you? You’re lost. – Hoping to be found again. – So lighting for lost and found. I can do that.

[Wistful music] – I can help you look. You’ve just got to tell me what we’re looking for. – Ok. Well, it turns out eileen was working with victor. We had a little talk to her, convinced her to change sides. However, loyalty is not eileen’s strong point. We’re concerned that she may have panicked and told victor everything. – What did victor do? – He killed luke spencer. – My son is alive? And anna? But what about lucy? – She’s alive, too. They’re all hiding out in town. – Where? – I don’t know. A safe house. They always blindfolded me when they brought me there. The first time, felicia scorpio brought me. Another time, it was robert scorpio. – Why steal this if the decryption key didn’t work? – Because the key wasn’t the problem. The necklace I gave you was a fake. Please, I– I didn’t want to do it. They threatened me. Wait, wait, wait! They have the real necklace, and I can get it for you. I– I will do anything i can to make this right.

[Phone rings] – I want to ignore this, but it could be nurses’ ball business. Hello? – Hey. I– I’m sorry, sorry, sorry. Please don’t hang up. Don’t– don’t hang up. I swear to you, I will be quiet as a mouse. – I am so sick of you trashing any idea that is not yours. We are all working our butts off here. – I know. I– I know. I’m sorry. It’s just I care too much, that’s all. – You have to trust me to do what’s right. – I do. I– I do. You are great. But please, bobbie cannot host in my place. – No one is taking your place. We all agreed no one person can fill your shoes, so we’re going to have different gh staff members introduce various acts. – Uh, did you not learn anything from the daisy awards? That– that really is a terrible idea. – Call me again, and I’m blocking your number for good. Goodbye.

[Beeps]

[Sighs] – The problem is, now that esme is a free woman, there is a chance that she could disappear and take my brother with her. Now, I cannot let that happen. – Do you trust me, spencer? – I know that there’s nothing that you wouldn’t do for this family. – Then understand this. There’s no way in hell esme is raising a cassadine heir. Not while there’s a breath left in my body. – Come on, spencer. It’s not that bad. We both know that grandmother won’t let anything bad happen to ace. – Oh, I wasn’t thinking about my brother. No, I was just thinking about how when you leave town, no one’s going to be here to keep me in line. – How about trina and joss? – That’s true, but it’s not going to be the same. I’m going to miss you, man. – Ok. Can I have everybody’s attention? I got a few things to say about cameron. – Oh, boy. – Cameron and I are not related by blood, but I certainly consider him family. Now, he’s had a tough year, but he’s kept his chin up. Now stanford has him. Our loss. So good luck, I love you, and i got something for your wallet.

[Laughter] – Thank you, scotty. – I’m so proud of you. – I love you, mom. – I love you. – Thank you guys so much for coming. – All right, bring it in. Bring it in. – I’m gonna miss you. – Group hug. – So proud of you.


– Um, laura’s offered to take us home, so we’re going to be leaving now. But thank you for inviting me. Just my luck, the one person who’s been kind to me is leaving town. – Grandma has been nice to you. – True. Um, she does have an ulterior motive. – No. She’s not like that. – Cam, I am going to miss you so, so much, you know? You’re a very, very special young man. You’re my little soccer star.

[Chuckles] – Thanks, grandma. I love you, too. – Ok. I’ll help you get your stuff. – Thanks. Oh, thank you. – Thank you, scott. – Look. Uh, I know you guys used to be a couple. Is that going to be a problem here? – No, we’re good. – Yeah, we’ll get it done. – [Sighs] – So there it is. The show order is set! – This nurses’ ball is going to be special– worthy of gh’s 60th anniversary. – Oh, no, no, no, no. It is simply madness not to have one host. You need that one person to tie everything together, to keep the evening moving. This is bad. This is really bad. This is not going to work. I have to be there. The nurses’ ball needs me. – Mom? Thank you for the party. It was a lovely sendoff. – Oh, everyone wanted a chance to say goodbye and tell you how much they love you. – It’s strange. I hate that I’m leaving, but I can’t wait to get there. – I know. You’re going to love it there, but I’m going to miss you. – I’m gonna miss you too, mom.

[Emotional music]

[Phone rings] – Oh, it’s eileen. – Ok. – Eileen, are you all right? Are you still with victor? – I’m sorry, I– I thought I could get the decryption key, but it didn’t work out. – Are you compromised? Does victor know that the necklace was a fake? – No, no. Victor didn’t suspect anything. – Ok, good. And you’re all right. Just don’t go against orders again. – I can’t do this anymore. I’m out. – Don’t forget the evidence we have against you. – My life is ruined already. I’m leaving town, and I’m going to get as far away from victor cassadine as possible. – All right, calm down. Just calm down. – There. I did what you wanted. – Well done. Now there’s just one more little thing.

[Tense music] – We’ve lost eileen. – She sounded terrified. I mean, I just hope that she’s halfway to the canadian border by now. – If victor didn’t suspect her, he will when she goes missing. – Yeah. At least we have the real necklace. As long as we have that, we still stand a chance. – You promised you’d help me get out of town, away from anna’s reach. – I promise, my dear. You won’t have

to worryabout anna devane again. – [Screaming]

[Splashing] – Good night, mom. I love you. – I love you more.

[Melancholy music]

[Line trilling] – (On phone) hello, this is state trooper carlson. – Hi, I’m trying to reach epiphany johnson. – I’m very sorry, but I have bad news about your friend.

[Somber music]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Bill: [Chuckles] Yeah. You did it. You finally opened up.

Sheila: That excites you, bill? Because what I told you is terrible.

Bill: Is it the truth?

Sheila: Yes.

Bill: This dr. Garvin, you had a fight and annie went over the balcony. And lance day. You killed him.

Ridge: Where is your team?

Sheila on audio: Yeah, but he threatened–

Ridge: Are they close?

Sheila: Yeah, these are really terrible memories, and this is such an important day. I really don’t want to spoil the moment you… you proposed.

Bill: [Chuckles]

Sheila: You want me to be your wife and I am so… I am so happy.

[Both chuckle]

Bill: So am I. You have no idea.

Sheila: Doesn’t it scare you? What–what I’ve done?

Bill: No, sheila. I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Ridge: Yes, we have. We got her. She just confessed! That’s it!

Chen: Spencer did it.

Ridge: Oh, we’re sending the killer to prison and she’s never going to bother our families again.

Sheila: You don’t care… what I’ve done?

Bill: All that matters is that you finally said it.

[Phone buttons clicking]

Brooke: Is everything all right?

Katie: Yeah, it’s will. I mean, he’s fine. He’s better than fine. I just don’t really know what to say to him about his father. You know, I just keep hoping that bill is going to come to his senses or that I’m going to be able to say something to get through to him, but I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what happened to the man I thought I knew.

Brooke: So bill won’t listen to you at all?

Katie: He won’t listen to anybody. I can only imagine how difficult it’s been for you regarding will.

Katie: Well, I just try to keep things as vague as possible regarding his relationship with sheila. I mean, will adores his father. And no one, or at least I thought no one, was more important to bill than his children and his grandchildren. I mean, he would never want to cause his family any kind of pain. So I don’t understand it. Why is sheila carter suddenly so important to him?

Sheila: I just told you the worst thing I’ve ever done in my life.

Bill: Yeah, it took you long enough.

Sheila: [Scoffs] What?

Bill: You just told me your– your deepest, darkest secrets. It’s going to change everything.

Sheila: In a good way.

Bill: In the best way.

Ridge: Come on, spencer. Can you please keep it together?

Bill: I’ve always known exactly who you are. I’m going to keep my promise. I’m going to give you the future that you so richly deserve. [Laughs]

Bill: [Chuckles]

Ridge: Bill came through! He got sheila to confess. Tell me you got all that.

Chen: It’s all been recorded.

Ridge: Okay, good. She’s going away for murder one. Our plan worked.

Chen: It’s not over. We don’t have sheila in custody yet.

Sheila: Bill, if what i told you hasn’t changed your feelings about us, then why suddenly so quiet?

Bill: Oh, I’m, uh… I’m just thinking about the future, what’s ahead of us now. I am more pleased and relieved than you could ever imagine.

Sheila: Relieved? Relieved that I accepted your proposal? Did you think I might not?

Brooke: Well, you did, uh, you did hesitate. I wasn’t expecting that.

Sheila: It’s because no one has ever treated me the way that you do. I know our relationship, it’s unconventional, but I know that you love me. Are you worried about your family, how they might react?

Bill: Well, uh… my family has never really understood what’s going on here, but hopefully now they will.

Sheila: [Laughs] Do you think that there might be a chance that they accept us? Because that would be worth a celebration.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Yeah, I see a tremendous celebration on the horizon. But right now, that’s just one thing I have to take care of. I promise I’ll be right back.

Sheila: Okay.

Bill: You just stay put.

[Door opens, closes]

Katie: If I thought I could talk some sense into bill, I would be over at the house right now.

Brooke: Gosh. No, you can’t do that. Talking to him is pointless. He can’t even say one word when sheila’s in the room.

Katie: He just lets her rant and rave, and he barely makes eye contact.

Brooke: It’s so strange, right?

Katie: He’s the most assertive person I’ve ever met in my entire life. But with her, suddenly he’s so passive, it’s–it’s unnerving.

Carter: Hey. Seems like you guys are having a serious meeting. Is everything okay?

Katie: Yeah, we’re just, you know, talking about bill and sheila.

Carter: Something happen?

Brooke: No, that’s the problem. Nothing’s happened. Nothing’s changed at all.

Katie: Bill is as inscrutable as ever, and we don’t understand it. I mean, the man that we have known is just–he’s like a shell of himself.

Brooke: We just have to hope and pray that bill wakes up one day and makes sheila pay for her crimes.

Bill: Tell me you got that.

Ridge: Yes, we did. We got all of it. Congratulations. It’s a lot of work, but we got it done.

Bill: The whole confession, names, everything?

Chen: Agent chen here. Affirmative, bill. Good work, but you’re not done. It’s critical you keep sheila at the estate until my team reaches your location.

Bill: Don’t worry. I can handle sheila. We got her. We finally got her.

Sheila: You got me? Who are you talking to, bill? (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Carter: There is no question that bill is not himself, allowing sheila to dictate his life.

Brooke: Who’s allowed in the house, and how we’re supposed to speak to her when we’re there?

Katie: All his protective instincts are pointed in the wrong direction.

Brooke: He’s not even looking out for himself.

Carter: I mean, the woman shot her own son. She left finn in that alley to die. She’s not someone bill can trust.

Katie: He’s always been a risk taker. He thrives on danger and excitement, but this is beyond reckless.

Carter: Is that the attraction? He likes playing with fire?

Katie: I don’t think so. He doesn’t seem to be getting any kind of thrill out of this.

Carter: Okay, so then is it penance for hurting you and brooke?

Katie: I thought that might be the case at first, but then we would have been able to talk him out of this. One thing is for sure, the longer this goes on, the more danger we’re all in. Especially bill.

Sheila: You finally got me. Who were you talking to on the phone? Tell me, bill. You weren’t talking about our engagement, our marriage, our future, were you?

Bill: Our marriage? [Chuckles] Our–our future? This great love story, you and me? The woman who shot steffy and finn, the vicious criminal who tried to kill my granddaughter’s mother?

Sheila: Criminal? You think… you asked me to be your wife? You put this ring on my finger, and you professed your love over and over again. We made love in your bed. You told me your deepest, darkest secrets, your feelings. You shared that with me.

Bill: No, no, no. You shared your deepest crimes with me.

Sheila: No way. What you’re saying, it just doesn’t make any sense.

Bill: Doesn’t it, though? Everything I’ve said, everything I’ve done, sacrificed, it all finally does make sense, sheila. Come on, now. I know you’re delusional, but it’s got to be sinking in. The lie that I’ve been living for months, the acting challenge of a lifetime. Pretending to defend you, care about you, love you.

Ridge: You had to overplay it didn’t you? Don’t let her get away.

[Running footsteps on audio]

Bill: You’re not getting out of this.

Sheila: You never even wanted me here.

Bill: When you leave, it’ll be in cuffs.

Sheila: You lied to me. You told me you loved me.

Bill: Oh, yeah. Falling in love with a psycho was number one on my bucket list.

Sheila: No, no, because if you wanted me locked up, you could have had me arrested on the beach that night.

Bill: Oh, you mean that night when you just happened to find me moping in the dark, drinking away my sorrows, all alone at il giardino?

Sheila: You were in pain. You were lost and hurting. Oh, my god.

Bill: Is the light going on? Is it? Was I lost and hurting? Or was I waiting for you to take the bait? It was a set up from the beginning. A sting to get you to confess, to pour your black heart out [Mocking] To the only man who truly understood you. [Regular voice] You finally did. Took me months. Had to put a ring on your finger, but I got you. That poor lance kid, he’s gonna get his justice. His killer is going to be locked up for good.

Sheila: No, no, because this is not happening.

Bill: You confessed, sheila. Murder one. You’re going to prison for the rest of your life, and you will never hurt my family or anyone else ever again. Your reign of terror is over. You hear me? It’s over, bitch!

Brooke: So it doesn’t bother carter that you’re so worried about bill?

Katie: Carter’s worried, too.

Brooke: You can’t let it impact your relationship. When it’s new like this, the stress can…

Katie: He’s been a rock for me. He’s been so supportive and understanding.

Brooke: Okay. I’m glad.

Katie: I’ve really needed it, too, because this whole situation with bill and sheila has made me feel a little crazy.

Brooke: You’re not crazy. Bill is the crazy one. He’s hurting everybody that he says he cares about.

Katie: And for no reason. I don’t know. I just can’t help but think that there’s got to be something more to this. It can’t just be about protecting sheila. There’s got to be something we’re missing.

Brooke: What?

Katie: I don’t know. But the man I fell in love with, the father of my son, wouldn’t do something like this. I just have to believe that the real bill is in there somewhere… just waiting to come out.

Sheila: I never… terrorized you, bill. I cared about you.

Bill: Every moment I spent with you was pure anguish. But I couldn’t give in to my revulsion. I needed you to confess.

Sheila: You can’t prove anything. There’s–there’s no evidence. No one knows what I said, so it’s your word against mine.

Bill: Well, that–that would be a problem if every incriminating word you spoke hadn’t been recorded. Yes, this whole house is bugged. There are cameras, recording devices, here, there, everywhere. As a matter of fact, why don’t you give your best smile and wave to ridge and agent chen from the fbi?

Sheila: Ridge was a part of all of this?

Bill: Oh, look, yeah. You know how those dress designers can be, holding a grudge when you try and kill their daughter? You shot steffy and left her for dead!

Ridge: And now you’re gonna pay.

Bill: You think ridge was going to let you get away with that? No. We were never alone here. You were never safe. I never cared about you. It was all an act with the fbi watching and listening to every word you said, building their case around you, just waiting for you to open up. Don’t even think about running. The authorities are on their way. They’re going to cuff you and drag your ass out of here and lock you away for the rest of your miserable life.

Sheila: What about everything you said to me? To brooke, to katie, your sons?

Bill: Well, you know, I don’t want to be a braggart, pat myself on the back, but I was pretty good. They actually believed that I had fallen under your spell. See, I had to convince them to convince you. I had to burn every bridge.

Sheila: And they hate you for that!

Bill: Not as much as I hate you! It killed me. Having to listen to you fawn over me. Made me want to puke. Having to hug you, hold you, caress you. Have–have you… in my…in my bed.

Sheila: You call me a monster. The only way that this despicable plan could even work is if I’m not one. All I ever wanted was to be loved, to… have someone show me some compassion, some understanding. And what did you do? You used me, bill. You used me!

Bill: Yes. You are damn right, I did. Who could ever love something like you?

Sheila: My son. He wanted to know me. My own flesh and blood. If steffy hadn’t poisoned him against me–

Bill: Just shut up! Stop blaming everyone else for what you’ve done. Now everyone knows. Everyone knows exactly how criminal and murderous you are. You confessed. First degree murder. No one comes back from that. You are going to prison for the rest of your life. You will never, never be a free woman again.

Sheila: No! [Shrieking]

Ridge: No!

Sheila: [Yells]

[Body lands]

Young & The Restless Transcript

Y&R logo

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

[ Romantic jazz music playing ]

Summer: So, what’s been your favorite part of the evening so far?

Kyle: Mm, besides sharing it with you?

Summer: Good answer.

Kyle: I’d have to say walking into this place — I mean, a brand-new jazz venue tucked inside the athletic club. How cool is that? And your grandparents’ speech.

Summer: Really?

Kyle: Mm. What Victor said about people returning to Genoa City to raise their kids spoke to me.

Summer: I know what you mean.

Kyle: I’m so glad we moved home.

Summer: Yeah, Milan was amazing, but this is always gonna be home.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.


Jack: Would you care to dance?

Diane: I would.

Jack: Keep in mind, if we dance too close, people are gonna talk, especially those who don’t know we’re back together.

Diane: Well, then let’s give them something to talk about. [ Chuckles ]


Lauren: [ Sighs ] I never thought I would see the day.

Michael: Now, now, be nice.

Lauren: [ Chuckling ] Oh, this is me being nice, darling. You know, back when Diane resurrected herself, Jack was adamant. He said to me that he would never let her back into his life, that that door was shut tight.

Michael: Hurrah for second chances. And even ninth or tenth chances.

Lauren: [ Sighs ] I just hope he knows what he’s doing.

Michael: Jack’s a big boy. This ain’t their first time around, you know.

Lauren: Still, it’s Diane.

Michael: Alright. Personally, I think they look great together.

Lauren: Really?

Michael: Mm-hmm.

Lauren: Because if Phyllis walked in right now and saw them together, all hell would break loose.  [ Sighs ]


Phyllis: Diane is probably planning on announcing their engagement tonight at the party, with full media coverage. I wouldn’t put it past her if she’s convinced Jack to get down on one knee. I mean, they had their heads together and —

Jeremy: We need to get that ring.

Phyllis: To wreck the moment.

Jeremy: And because it’s the perfect personal item to add to the final touch of the scene we’re setting.

Phyllis: I’m not sure it’s possible. I mean, Jack slipped that ring in his pocket.

Jeremy: Leave that to me.


Victor: Baby, it makes me very happy to see most of the family together, doesn’t it?

Nikki: Sure does.

Victor: So, this is how I envisioned a wonderful evening, the Newmans together, celebrating. I love it.

Nikki: While Diane keeps digging her claws into Jack deeper and deeper.

Victor: Well, you know, he has always been afflicted with bad judgment when it comes to Diane Jenkins.

Nikki: It’s not too late to save him.

Victor: Baby, it’s not too late to dance with me, right?

Nikki: Ah. I thought you’d never ask.


Audra: Hmm. Victoria doesn’t seem to be wasting any time.

Elena: Audra, stop.

Audra: I’m just stating a fact. Victoria is someone you’ll want to keep your eyes on.

Elena: If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go join my boyfriend. Hi.

Nate: Hey, beautiful. I am so glad you made it.

Elena: Wouldn’t miss it for the world.

Victoria: I’ll let you two catch up.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Victoria: See you.

Elena: So, what did I miss?


Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ]

Billy: You still okay?

Chelsea: [ Clears throat ]

Billy: Just know that I’ll be here all night, okay? Side by side. And if any of this gets too much, then we’re out of here. Okay?

Chelsea: Okay.


Devon: I don’t know how you expect to fix anything at this point, Lily.

Lily: Devon, come on. It’s never too late.

Devon: I don’t see myself working with you again, though.

Lily: Okay, wait. Please — please don’t walk away, okay? Let’s just go somewhere and talk about this, please. I mean, for Dad’s sake, right? Don’t we at least owe him that?


[ Indistinct conversations ]

Michael: Alrighty. Voil!

Lauren: Ooh, more champagne!

Jill: Do I know you?

Lauren: Thank you!

Michael: I know. Not after these, you won’t.

Jill: Thank you!

Lauren: Ooh!

Jill: There you go. Ooh! By the way, I am so sorry I didn’t get back for your awards ceremony.

Lauren: Aww.

Jill: How great to be honored by your whole industry.

Lauren: It was amazing.

Jill: Aww.

Lauren: And I’m so glad that you’re here tonight because no one is a bigger part of Genoa City’s history but you, my darling sister.

Michael: Speaking of history, since the lounge was dedicated to Neil, maybe we should see if one of the upstairs suites could be named after you.  [ Laughter ]

Lauren: Michael!

Michael: Given your many trysts. No, no! Listen, Jill’s romances are the stuff of legend.

Lauren: Whoo-hoo!

Michael: Hear, hear!

Jill: I don’t even mind. You tease me all you like, but I make no apologies for my very interesting life.

Michael: Ooh, la la!

Jill: As a matter of fact, if I weren’t so determined to make tonight about my family and my company…

Lauren: Mm-hmm.

Jill: …I would add to that legend.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Jill: No, in fact, I still might.

Lauren: Oh, here’s to that!

Michael: Wow!

Jill: There you go. Here’s to that.

Lauren: The night is young.

[ Laughter ]


[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Leanna: Having done my due diligence, I’m delighted to say you’ve won. Congratulations.

Diane: What?

Leanna: You two lovebirds. This is exactly the hot scoop I was hoping to get tonight. Diane Jenkins back from the dead and reunited with her ex, one of Genoa City’s most elite bachelors.

Jack: Buzz off, Leanna. We don’t want to be one of your side shows.

Leanna: Au contraire, mon ami. You’re the main event. Home page of my website.

Diane: Oh, shoo. Go away.

Jack: You heard the lady. Bye-bye.

Leanna: Diane… you’ll never have a better chance to clear your name.

Jack: Bull. I know from experience you’re far more likely to twist everything she says and make her look bad.

Leanna: Okay, fine. Have it your way. A girl can only take so much ingratitude.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Leanna: You know, uh, you’re a very lucky woman. Not only do you have a second lease on life, but I distinctly remember what a phenomenal lover Jack is.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]


Kyle: If Leanna is targeting my mother with one of her vicious attacks, maybe I ought to go over there.

Summer: Please don’t. Your parents can take care of themselves and each other. Don’t worry about it.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Summer: It’s me. It’s the nanny. Hey, Linda. Is Harrison okay? Oh, no.


Adam: Well, that fresh air felt nice.

Sharon: Oh, is that why we went for a stroll — fresh air? I thought it was to avoid seeing Sally and Nick.

Adam: Um, that was just a bonus, okay? And every time I try to be gracious around them, I just end up putting my foot in it.

Sharon: Well, you know, the situation makes everyone uncomfortable, but I think you’re handling yourself fine.

Adam: Ah, yes, with my friend here, a little help, Mr. Alcohol.

Sharon: Is it time for more bubbly?

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Mm. Uh, maybe something a little stronger. I have to deal with my sister tonight, too.


Ashley: It’s been so fun seeing people that I’ve lost track of over the years. She’s not one of them.

Tucker: I am glad you’re enjoying yourself, sweetheart.

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Victor: Do you know what I would enjoy? I would enjoy knowing where things stand with the sale of your company.

Tucker: Really? You want to talk business right here, right now?

Victoria: No, of course I don’t, and neither do you. But I’m starting to get the sense that you’re taunting me. So, why don’t you just give me something solid?

Tucker: I’m still weighing my options when it comes to McCall. Uh, although I do have a strong preference as to who I would like to see make the deal.


Chelsea: These are all preliminary ideas, but they’ve been flooding my brain for days, and I would love your input. Do you think they would work with the mental-health concept we’re developing?

Daniel: I think they all sound great. Pursue as many of them as you like.

Chelsea: Really?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Thanks.

Daniel: No. Thank you for putting so much thought into this.

Chelsea: Do you have any idea about timelines, next best steps?

Daniel: Well, that would be a question for Lily, who I’m here with tonight, but it seems as though she’s stepped away. The Newmans dedicated the lounge to Neil. They converted it into a jazz club.

Chelsea: Aww.

Billy: Well, that’s great. That’s very fitting.

Daniel: Yeah. It is. Definitely worth checking out when you get a chance. But you know Lily. She got a little emotional, which is understandable. So, just wanted to give her some space.

Billy: Well, that’s nice. I’m glad she has someone in her life who is sensitive to her feelings. Do you like…

[ Indistinct conversations ]


Summer: [ Exhales sharply ] Oh. Zippy is missing.

Kyle: Ah.

Summer: Not Harrison. Thank god.

Kyle: Where has she looked so far?

Summer: Um, Linda, Kyle wants to know where you’ve looked so far. Have you checked the media room? Oh, no, trust me. We know. Harrison cannot fall asleep without that fox. I — I can barely hear you. Hold on. I’m gonna go outside so that we can brainstorm. Hang on just one second.

Kyle: Sorry.


Victoria: So, tell me about, um, your preferred option. Or do I already know?

Tucker: Tell you about my preferred option. Oh. Uh, I’d like to sell to Devon. That hasn’t changed.

Victoria: Oh, I see. I guess we’ll just have to revisit that when he turns you down.

Tucker: You’re on.

Victoria: In the meantime, uh [Chuckles] What I’m really, really curious about is your role in this, Ashley. What is your angle?

Ashley: Why would I have to have an angle? I’m just here celebrating my hometown’s birthday, Victoria.

Victoria: I’m not sure which one of you is more deceptive, really.

Tucker: Oh, that’s so sweet, Victoria. Do you hear that? She’s — she’s compared me to you. What a lovely compliment.

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: Gee, you seem low.

Ashley: Uh, mm-hmm.

Tucker: Would you like to get another?

Ashley: I would love one.

Tucker: Okay.

Ashley: Excuse us.

Tucker: Excuse us.

Victor: What was that all about?


Elena: The Neil Winters Jazz Lounge.

Nate: Pretty fantastic, huh?

Elena: It is. That was really thoughtful of the Newmans.

Nate: Yeah, it was. Lily and Devon were so touched. You know, maybe this reminder of their dad will help things thaw a bit.

Elena: I’d like to think it’s possible.


Devon: [ Sighs ] Lily, I don’t know what’s left to say. I mean —

Lily: Devon, what do you mean? Jill canceled the IPO. That changes everything.

Devon: Right. And do you know that Victor Newman is the one who convinced her to do that?

Lily: No. I didn’t know that. She told me that a friend had helped her see a better solution. Did Jill tell you that?

Devon: Well, when I asked her, she made it pretty obvious. And then I saw them both with their heads together inside.

Lily: Okay, so, then you don’t know if it were Victor then?

Devon: I mean, it’s — it’s an educated guess.

Lily: Okay. Well, I-I wouldn’t be surprised if it were Victor. He cares about you. He always has, since you were a teenager. Look, Devon, everything that you were worried about is gone now. You were worried about losing control of the company. That’s gone. Even the people you were worried about — Nate, Audra, I mean, even Billy. They’re all gone. It’s just us. So, look, we can streamline operations, you know? I’ll back off and give you everything that you need to do to run your division how you want.

Devon: And you expect me to do the same thing for you?

Lily: Yeah. We can each run our own operations the way that we see fit. You know, we won’t have shareholders breathing over our shoulders. This can finally be the united family business that we’ve dreamed of… if you say yes.

[ Light laughter ]

[ Soft jazz music playing ]


Michael: They’re not keeping it a secret any longer. They are out in the open.

Lauren: Mm. I’m not even sure they’re aware that there’s anyone else in this room.

Michael: Hmm. Maybe we should challenge them to a dance-off.

Lauren: Uh, wha–

Michael: Follow me.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Mm-hmm!

Lauren: You two look like you’re having the time of your life.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] We are. It’s a night to remember.

Jack: I can’t tell you the last time I went out and just enjoyed music and dance. I love it.

Michael: And you’re not rusty at all, Jack, are you?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] He’s just jealous of your grace and fluidity. In fact, he would like to challenge you to a dance-off.

Diane: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Is that so?

[ Laughter ] Ooh, yeah.

Lauren: [ Laughing ] Oh, honey!

Diane: This might sound crazy, but…was that Jeremy?

Jack: I was just thinking the same thing.


Sharon: Have a great time.

Lauren: Thank you. Oh, there’s Christine.

[ Chuckling ] Hi.

Michael: Hey, Daniel.

Daniel: Absolutely. Bye.

Lauren: So, you’re flying solo tonight. What does Paul have on the agenda now he’s the retired chief of police?

Christine: Uh, actually, Paul’s in Portugal. Heather and Lucy’s visit wasn’t long enough, so he went there to visit.

Lauren: Ah. Well, that sounds like fun. I can’t wait to see pictures.

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Oh, so, do I have this right? You two are responsible for the amazing food and beverages tonight? [ Laughs ]

Michael: Actually, Lauren was the brains of the operation. I was on tasting duty.

Christine: Ah, very well done, both of you.

Lauren: Thank you. Thank you.

Michael: I know Nikki doesn’t want us talking about business tonight, but, uh, I have to ask. Between you and me, how’s the arbitration going?

Christine: I mean, do you think I’m gonna tell you?

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: No, but like I said, I had to ask.

Christine: No, you really didn’t. You didn’t. Because we’re not talking business tonight.


Christine: Okay, I can tell you this — once the case is settled, I’m considering making a move.

Michael: What? Where?

Christine: My old job.

Lauren: District attorney?

Christine: Yeah, I mean, an interim basis maybe. I haven’t accepted the offer, but I think it would be good for me. I, um… I need a change.


[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Esther: Thank you. Hi.

Leanna: Esther Valentine?  [ Gasps ] Oh, my gosh! How long has it been? I almost didn’t recognize you without your feather duster.

Esther: Leanna. What are you doing here? I thought this gala was only for the elite of Genoa City.

Leanna: Oh. Well, you made the cut, so…

Esther: Well, for your information, I am now a key employee of Chancellor-Winters.

Leanna: Are you now?

Esther: Mm-hmm.

Leanna: Impressive. You know, I heard, um, rumblings that there was major conflict at the company. Care to share?

Esther: With you?  [ Laughs ] Forget it. So, where are my bosses? I just want to say hello.

Leanna: Oh, good question. I don’t know. I haven’t seen Devon and Lily in a while. Huh. Maybe there’s a story there. See you later.


Jack: I’m gonna find that man. If it really is Jeremy Stark, I’m gonna throw him out of here. If it’s not, it gives us some peace of mind.

Diane: Jack, please don’t confront him.

Jack: We don’t want him wandering around this party. He’s only gonna cause trouble.

Diane: Just wait. Wait. Um, I-I know we — we put it on hold, announcing our engagement, because we didn’t want to trample on the excitement about Neil’s club.

Jack: You having second thoughts?

Diane: Well…you said that we’d know when the time was right, and, you know, here we are, surrounded by practically everyone we know and there’s buckets of Champagne flowing and I just — I just think it might be a good idea if we do it right now, don’t you?

Jack: I’m the guy who wanted to announce it to the whole world. You’re the one that put the brakes on. I just went along with you.

Diane: Well, I’ve reconsidered.

Jack: Well, you’ll get no argument from me. That’s why I want to deal with Stark — so he doesn’t ruin our moment. I’m just gonna talk to the club security staff, okay?

Diane: Alright. I’ll go with you.

Jack: No, no, no. You — you’re upset. Stay here. Take a breath. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: I’ll come back and find you.

Diane: [ Gasps ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

Phyllis: There you are.

Diane: [ Exhales heavily ]


Victoria: You know, Dad, if you ask me, I think that Tucker has lost his edge. Instead of a quick and easy sale to Newman, he’s waiting for Devon to ride to his rescue.

Victor: Well, good luck with that. But the more I think about it, the more I realize that Tucker McCall has been playing us.

Adam: You guys talking about McCall?

Victoria: Excuse me. This is a private conversation.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Which you are having in a very public place. Has the plan to acquire McCall hit a snag? I saw you talking to Tucker earlier. Or are you the one throwing up the roadblocks?

Victor: Son, we are all working toward a common goal, alright?

Victoria: I wouldn’t go that far.

Adam: Mm. So, you both want to buy Tucker’s company, but you have different visions on what happens to it after that. I see.

Victoria: You know, Adam, I really wouldn’t concern myself with this because, however it shakes out, you’re never gonna be CEO.


Elena: I know you’re frustrated, but I do admire your efforts in trying to get Devon and Lily communicating again. When we got back together, you told me that you would work on being a better person. And, lo and behold, you have, which makes me feel like this leap of… Nate.

Nate: I’m sorry. Uh, what?

Elena: [ Scoffs ] If you’re so curious about what the Newmans are discussing, why don’t you just join them?

Nate: Look, uh, I’m a bit preoccupied, okay? There’s a deal in the works. I’m sorry, okay? It won’t happen again.

Elena: Whatever. I’m gonna go mingle.

Nate: [ Sighs ]


Ashley: I am amazed at how focused you’ve been all evening. Right? Because there’s been so much going on in this room. Victoria was pressuring you.

Tucker: Just got to trust that things are gonna work out the way they’re meant to.

Ashley: Since when have you been so fatalistic?

Tucker: I know what I want. I know what you want from the situation.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: How can the universe deny us?

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Jill: Hi, Ashley.

Ashley: Hi, Jill.

Jill: Tucker, I’ve been meaning to have a word with you.

Tucker: About?

Jill: How dare you come after my company? How dare you plant a mole the way you did?

Tucker: Oh, well, if you’re referring to Audra —

Jill: And the worst part of it is you thought you could get away with it. You thought we were too stupid to catch on.

Tucker: If it’s an apology you’re seeking, then you got it. I apologize.

Jill: Oh, don’t hand me that. You’re only sorry because you got busted.

Tucker: [ Sighs ] Jill, we’re both players, aren’t we? It’s who we are. We enjoy the game, and I know that you enjoy playing it every bit as much as I do.

Jill: Oh, shut up. You don’t know a damn thing about me, do you? But I will tell you something. I have taken steps to prevent whatever it is you had in mind. All you’ve accomplished is you’ve made Chancellor-Winters stronger.


Devon: I just don’t see how I can stay ’cause, yeah, the IPO is killed, but that’s not the only issue here. Like, how am I expected to work alongside somebody who went out of their way to try and hurt my feelings?

Lily: I know. I’m… I’m sorry. I am. I just — I let my anger get the best of me, you know? I-I was hurt and scared. And I lashed out.

Devon: Yeah, I’d say so.

Lily: And you’re right. I-I shouldn’t have hired Amanda. Like, that was wrong. I know it was wrong. And I’m sorry.

Devon: And I — I guess I should have been more honest with you and myself about my feelings when it came to doing this merger.

Lily: [ Sighs ] Devon, we can get past this. I know we can. We’ve been through so much together. You know, we — after Hilary died. And then I go to prison and I get out. And after dad died. And we’ve always gotten out stronger on the other side. We always made it through. Like, please, please — like, this can’t be the thing that breaks us.


Diane: What are you doing lurking around? Are you trying to scare me? Because it won’t work.

Phyllis: I’m sorry I startled you.

Diane: Oh, sure you are.

Phyllis: I’ve been looking for you.

Diane: Oh, you have? What, did you get the sense that I was having a good time and you wanted to ruin it?

Phyllis: Kyle’s sick.

Diane: What?

Phyllis: Yeah. He’s sick. He’s nauseated, dizzy. He was sweating, glassy-eyed.

Diane: Well, what is it?

Phyllis: I don’t know. I’m not a doctor. Diane, I have a suite for after the party. Summer’s with him now, but he’s been asking for his mother. So come with me.


Christine: So, where are Mariah and Tessa now?

Sharon: They are in Portland with the baby. I can’t wait for them to get home.

Christine: I don’t suppose you have any photos?

Sharon: Oh, only a few million. Let me show you.

Christine: Okay.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] Look. Here she is, eating.

Christine: Aww, that’s so —

Sharon: And then there she is, sleeping.

Christine: She’s adorable.

Sharon: Isn’t she?

Nikki: Those wouldn’t happen to be baby pictures, would they?

Sharon: Yeah. You caught me.

Nikki: Oh, my goodness. What a sweet angel.

Sharon: I know. I’ll never be able to thank Christine enough for helping us bring a new baby into the family.

Christine: Oh, it was my immense pleasure.

Nikki: Well, welcome to the grandparents club, Sharon. I spent years avoiding the “G” word, until I joined the club and I realized that having a grandchild to spoil is one of life’s greatest blessings.


Billy: Hi.

Jill: Hello.

Billy: You look beautiful.

Jill: Oh, thank you, honey. Hi, Chelsea.

Chelsea: Hi, Jill.

Billy: How you doing?

Jill: I’m doing just fine.

Billy: So, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much trouble am I in this week?

Jill: [ Laughs ] You tell me.

Billy: Ah.

Jill: Uh, although I will say that I’ve been getting reports of you making very positive strides in your life since your breakup with Lily, which I had to find out about from Esther, of all people.

Billy: Well, uh, thank you. I’m trying my best.

Jill: Well, honey, that’s all any of us can do in the end.  [ Sighs ] I’m really sorry I was so hard on you when you left Chancellor-Winters. You know, I think that was more because of the company’s struggles than your choices, but I’ve been working some things out over there, and I think you’re figuring out your life, too, huh?

Billy: I’m trying. And thank you for the vote of confidence.

Jill: Oh, good. Okay. Johnny tells me he’s been enjoying spending time with both of you.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Jill: Billy, you are an outstanding father. I don’t know if I tell you that enough, and that is the most important thing in life.

Billy: I don’t know what’s going on with you, but I really like it.

[ Laughter ]

Jill: I think it’s because I just unloaded on Tucker and I got all the negativity out of me.

Billy: Oh, good.

Jill: Don’t you look lovely.

Chelsea: Oh. Well, thank you, Jill. So do you.

Jill: Oh, thanks. I didn’t realize that the two of you were coming together.

Billy: Yeah, we’ve become good pals, and Chelsea did me the honor of accompanying me tonight.

Jill: Aww. Well, I’m glad you have friends in your life. Bye.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] Okay there, pal.

[ Both laugh ]

Billy: [ Sighs ]


Diane: You’re lying.

Phyllis: Diane, I don’t like you, but I like your son. So, get over yourself.

Diane: [ Laughs ] I’m not going to follow you anywhere. And besides, Kyle was just here dancing. He looked like the picture of health.

Phyllis: Well, when I left him a bit ago, he was nauseated. But you want to argue with me, so, okay.

Diane: Well, wait. If Kyle’s so ill, why hasn’t he called a doctor?

Phyllis: Exactly. Exactly. So why don’t you come with me? So you, me and Summer can convince him to get medical help?

Diane: I’m going to see what Kyle has to say.


Diane: Kyle isn’t responding to my text.

Phyllis: Exactly. Probably because he’s out of it.

Diane: You know, you’ll say anything to get me to leave this party, won’t you?

Phyllis:  You think I want to kidnap you?

Diane: Well, I wouldn’t put it past you.

Phyllis:  Really? Then I’d want to spend time with you, and I don’t want to do that.  Listen, if you want to go alone, fine. It’s suite 567. Go. I won’t accompany you.


Victor: I want you to think for a minute of all the things we could achieve if we work as a team instead of spending all this stupid energy fighting each other. We could rule the damn world.


Victoria: [Sighs] Did you and Elena get all caught up?

Nate: Yeah. We talked about uh, Lily, Devon, and the two of us. It feels good, uh, knowing we got back to the place we need be as a couple.


Audra: I saw you and Nate talking. It looked a little intense.  Is everything okay?

Elena: Couldn’t be better. But I have been thinking about your suggestion to interview Victoria’s ex, J.T., for my podcast.  And maybe it’s not a bad idea.

Audra: I’m glad you think so.


[ “April Kind of Love” plays ]

Devon: Neil loved this album so much. Then he left it to me on vinyl, and now it’s Dominick’s favorite.  Every time I put it on, he starts dancing.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] I mean, if that’s not a sign, I don’t know what is.

Devon: God, I hate feeling like this. And I hate that we let things get this damn far.

Lily: [ Sighs] I know, Devon. I hate it, too.  Please, can we just stop this, and, like, find our way back?

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. I’m gonna drop the lawsuit.

Lily: Really?

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Oh, my god!

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: I’m sorry, too.


Summer: [ Sighs ]

Kyle: Had enough excitement for one evening?

Summer: Oh, thank goodness Linda found Zippy in the pool house.

Kyle: Yeah, we’d be breaking into a toy store right about now.

Summer: I know, but Zippy and Harrison are all tucked in and fast asleep.

Kyle: That calls for Champagne.

Summer: Or coffee and dessert?

Kyle: Mm, I think I like your idea better.

Daniel: Hey.

Summer: Hey. What’s up?

Daniel: When’s the last time you saw Mom?

Summer: Um, during Grandma and Grandpa’s speeches. Why?

Daniel: I don’t know. We had this odd conversation.  She wanted to know how proud she is of me and how she expects me to do great things in life.  Then she just wished me well and took off.

Summer: [ Sighs ] That’s… She said pretty much the same thing to me, that she was impressed with the woman I’d become and that she’s very proud of me.

Daniel: Yeah, but it was strange, right?

Summer: Yeah. It was kind of moving, too.

Daniel: Yeah. Yeah, okay, a little, maybe. Maybe it got me a little, too. She’s crossed a thousand lines, but — I don’t know — maybe I’ve been too tough on her?

Kyle: Guys, her behavior was out of control.  You needed to set some boundaries.

Summer: I know. But… I just hope we didn’t make things worse.


Leanna: Hmm.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– good afternoon, mr. Ashford. Hey. I’m here to pick up trina. – Ok, I’m going to head out. It was good to see you. – What’s the rush? Come on in, mr. Cassidine. I think you and I are overdue for a chat. – This is it. Your grandmother and mayor may be on the up and up, but I’m not willing to wait around and find out. – Esme, going somewhere? – How are you holding up, mom? – Letting go is hard. – Oh, sweetheart. Oh. – I think we should have heard from eileen. She must have delivered the necklace by now. – Maybe she’s stuck in traffic. Just give it time. We don’t have to assume the worst. Yet. Victor will be convinced the necklace is real when he sees the false code we engraved in the replica. Once he’s got that, he’ll make hisk – what are you looking for? – This isn’t right. Something’s missing. – Like what? What could be missing? – The key. It’s not– oh, wait a sec. Ah. That’s more like it. – So you have what you need. Are we done here? – Oh. On the contrary, my dear. We’re just getting started.

[Theme music playing]


Well, I am convinced that these codes are coordinates, but we’re not going to know that until victor takes the bait. And there’s no guarantee that he’s going to fall for these fake codes. I mean, he could easily just figure out that someone’s trying to set him up. And I have to say, that i am not in love with eileen being our asset. – We still have the element of surprise. As far as victor knows, we are dead. And drew cain is completely above suspicion. He’s out of the loop. – It does give us an advantage. You’re right. But we have to be ready for any kind of complication. – One of them is taking an epic bubble bath as we speak. We just have to stay vigilant. We may have to improvise. – I’m due back at city hall. Good luck. – City hall? City hall can wait. I spent years of blood, sweat, and tears to get to this moment. Surely, you want to witness it? – Well, I’d be lying if I said i wasn’t curious to know exactly what this is all about. – Well, of course you are. And you deserve some answers. There. All yours, my dear. – What are you saying? – Well, call it a thank-you gift. – But this is worth millions. Don’t you want it? – Fencing stolen jewelry is really not my style. – I’m a public official. I– I don’t know what to do with that. – Well, return it to the pcpd secure lock up for all I care. – But if you don’t want the necklace, then what is this all about? – Oh, I’m just saving the world. – We can’t really stay. We have to go to cam’s party early, so we can help his mom set up. – Oh, this won’t take long. Besides, didn’t you tell me you had to get some photos ready for the party? – Right. But we really– we have to go. It’s– – I’ve already had lunch, trina. I promise I won’t bite. – Nothing to worry about. – Ok. This shouldn’t take long. – We’ll be here.

[Tense music playing] Want to sit? – Look, mr. Ashford, I know that you and your family and most of trina’s friends don’t approve of our friendship. – Except you and trina are more just friends, aren’t you? Which changes everything. – Jake set up all the decorations and aiden made the cake. Wait till you see it. – Oh I’m sure he’s outdone himself. So how are the boys dealing with their brother moving across the country? – Well, they’re trying not to make a big deal out of it, but I can tell they’re sad to see him go. – They’re not the only ones. I’m very proud of cameron, but I just– I can’t imagine walking into kelly’s and not seeing him there or just knowing he’s somewhere in town. – It’s all I can do to not fall apart every time I think about putting him on a plane to california. – I know. – I know it’s– it’s an incredible opportunity. It’s full scholarship and he gets to play vision I soccer. And I want him to live a full and happy life. I just wish he was closer. Is that selfish? – No, it’s understandable. He’s your baby. – I want him here where I can keep an eye on him. – I know that feeling. Elizabeth, honey, we need to talk about nikolas. – Um– I don’t have to answer to you. What I do is none of your business. – Oh, I think it is because this is my grandmother’s house. – You’re cameron webber? Another one of laura’s grandsons and another one of my victims? Allegedly. – Is that what your lawyers told you to say, allegedly? How about actually? You actually ruined my life. You actually recorded me and my girlfriend having sex without our consent and sent it to the whole university. You actually humiliated us and turned what could have been a beautiful moment in our relationship into something awful. And now you don’t remember the hell that you put me and my friends through because you lost your memory. Allegedly. – Come on in. Tell me more about the horrible person that I was. Look, um– I really don’t remember doing that, but you seem pretty adamant. So if I did, I’m really sorry. I hope you and your girlfriend are all right. – I don’t need your fake apologies, all right? They mean nothing to me. – Look, obviously, you’re angry and I get why. I’m sure you le seeing me here just out of prison and at the mercy of people who I don’t even trust. Karma’s a bitch, right? – Josslyn! Oh, my gosh, I am so happy that I ran into you. – Hi. Let me guess, you’re going to talk to me about the nurses’ ball. – Have I er told you how smart you are? – Look, there’s no need to butter me up. My grandma told me that you’re trying to pull everything together for the hospital’s 60th. Anything you need, I’m in. – Great. So you’ll perform? – Oh, except that. But I– I can do phone calls and decorations and– – no, anybody can do that stuff. I need talent. Your performance at the 2020 telethon was a huge hit. I mean, I can practically hear lucy screaming, – yeah. Wow, I still can’t believe that lucy’s not here. , Look, performing is really cam’s thing. And it would just feel really weird to do it without him. – Yeah, it’s really unfortunate cameron’s leaving right before the ball. But you could perform with trina, right? – Well, that would depend on trina. – Oh, we got to think positive. Oh, and all the performers, they get a plus one.


I don’t understand. You said this was the necklace that would lead you to the place you’ve been searching for. – Well, the necklace is merely the conduit to the key, the code engraved on the diamond, the key that unlocks the door. – Wha– to saving the world? – Many years ago, my brothers, anthony, mikkos and I, developed a means of putting the world back to rights. I thought at the time that we were all motivated by the same idea, mitigating the harm humanity has done to the world. What I came to understand was that mikkos was actually motivated more by power and money. I tried to make him see sense. But by then, luke spencer showed up with laura and ruined everything. Now look at us, we’re running out of time. – Ok. So how do you intend to pull us back from the brink? With that code? – Well, we– we were aware that our plan might well be thwarted, so we came up with a contingency. Mikkos had the code engraved on the back of the diamond, which I now have. All that remains is for me to crack the code. – Well, this isn’t over until we crack the code and find out what it’s for. – Until we know what victor is after, honestly eileen, none of us are free. – So how do you plan to do that? – Hi. – Hello. – Joss, who’s your friend? – Dex heller. I work for sonny corinthos. – Maxie jones. I was just talking with josslyn about this year’s nurses’ ball. In fact, your boss is one of our biggest supporters. – Yeah, I knew that. Mr. Corinthos is quite charitable. – I’m chairing the event this year. I’m actually still looking to beef up one of our more popular acts. Tell me, do you dance, dex? – Not in public. – Oh, don’t sell yourself short. I’m sure you have the pecs– pipes, chops. Josslyn, tell him how much fun it is. – Do you sing? – She brings the house down every year. She’s excellent. – Oh, so you’re performing? – I didn’t say that. Don’t let us keep you, maxie. – Ok. I’m not done with you or you. I’m going to get some caffeine. Don’t go anywhere. – You enjoyed that a little too much. – I didn’t know you sang. – Well, there’s a lot you don’t know about me. There’s a lot i don’t know about you. – I thought you were living at kelly’S. You’re staying here? – Well, that would require a, staying here with spencer and laura. And I will not be separated from my son. I mean, he’s all that I have. – So why were you leaving? – We were just taking a walk. – Kind of cold out for a baby, huh? – Babies need fresh air. – You know, the old esme was a lot better at lying than you are. – Ok, you caught me. But you’re not going to rat me out to your grandmother, are you? She’s not here, by the way. I’m all alone. Maybe they were testing me, which I’ve obviously failed. – I didn’t come to see my grandmother. I came to see spencer.

[Baby coos] – Great. Now he has more ammunition to take ace away from me. – Can you blame him for wanting to protect his baby brother? – Well, he doesn’t need to protect ace from me. Why does he not believe me? So you’re not going to believe me either. I’m sure you love seeing me here, you know, taking care of my baby instead of being in prison. – You know, I’m actually not that mad about it, especially because I’m part of the reason why you’re free. – I know what you’re thinking. – Oh, you do? Enlighten me. – When you look at me, all you see is the guy who hurt trina. More than once. – I’m aware of everything you’ve done, man. No need to rehash it. – Yeah, but I do. Every day I live with the regret of how much I hurt trina. And I hate myself for it, mr. Ashford. But I do care about her. I understand that you are reluctant. And I don’t blame you for wanting to keep me away from her, for thinking that I don’t deserve her. But I’m honest with myself about what I did and the kind of person that I was. And I’m trying to become a better man. I know that you have no reason to believe me. – That’s where you’re wrong. Stop beating yourself up before you knock yourself out. I can see you’re trying, and a steady support for trina with her mother, and curtis, before them, with rory. Now she tells me you stepping up to fight for your baby brother. Despite what you may think, i can appreciate you for that. – First, I want to be really clear. I don’t blame you. I don’T. I just wish that you trusted me enough to tell me what was going on with nikolas. You know, when they made me aware of your immunity deal, I realized that when you got involved with this at that time, that was right after you had come back from seeing your parents. You were in a really vulnerable state then, elizabeth. Nikolas should not have put you in that position. – Thank you for your understanding, but I own what I did. I shouldn’t have gone along with this plan, especially once we figured out that esme wasn’t the hook killer. But by then, we were in so deep. – Why didn’t you come to me? You can trust me. You know that. – I know, but I don’t want to bring anybody else in and make them an accomplice. And laura, you’re not only the boy’s grandmother, you’re the mayor. I didn’t want to make you part of this mess. And more than that, i value your opinion of me. I was ashamed of what I had done. And I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to be ashamed of me, too.


I am proud of your courage, that you stepped forward to take care of this thing, and after nikolas left you holding the bag. – You’re still his mom. I know you love him. It must be really hard not knowing where he is. – It is. But I honestly don’t know what to do with nikolas anymore. I really don’T. He keeps falling back into the same trap. He makes a rash decision, then he tries to cover it up. And then he runs away. I mean, if he felt able to confide in me, he would be here right now. He would be with his two sons instead of god knows where, and I don’t know, possibly indebted to victor. I mean– I’m sorry. I– I shouldn’t be doing this right now. Nikolas made the choices he made. And now we are left to deal with the consequences. – While I face almost no consequences. – That is the last thing that I expected you to say. – Don’t get used to it. But after seeing that you’re stepping up, fighting for your baby brother, I cannot do anything but be appreciative for you. – Thank you, sir. That means more than you know. – And your brother, that’s one thing. Trina, that’s a whole ‘nother thing. I’m not going to pretend i don’t have concerns about you being with trina, especially after dealing with all this mess with esme. – I understand. But I hope that I can get you to believe that I do want what’s best for her and that I’m trying to be a better man for both her and my brother. – It’s good you want to do better for the people you care about. But in my experience, to truly change, you got to want it for yourself. Looking for validation from the outside only lead you back to your old patterns, or worse still, down the wrong path altogether. You get what I’m saying to you? Trina is willing to go to great lengths for you. I better see her faith in your rewarded. – My friends and I didn’t want the da to prosecute you. It was trina who pushed for it. So she contacted her attorney, diane miller, to intervene. She then spoke with the da to ask to drop all the charges. – Why would you do that? Don’t you guys hate me? – Well, if you were going to trial now, without your memories, a sympathetic jury might find you not guilty. And if you got them back, we wouldn’t be able to try you again. – So this isn’t about grace. This is about keeping me in check so that I can still be convicted. – Well, and also keeping ace out of prison. – Right, spencer’s baby brother. I mean, you guys are cousins and friends. Obviously, I guess you’d do anything for him. – Pretty much. He needs this for his baby brother. And he’s willing to wait to see you brought to justice. Sorry to sound insensitive. – Oh, it definitely does. But I think that it might just be the first honest thing anyone said to me since I got back. – I can’t stand not knowing what’s going on with eileen. Why didn’t she just wear the bloody wire? – Well, there’s nothing we can do about it now. Will you humor me? – Yeah. What’s on your mind? – It occurs to me that if everything goes according to plan tonight, you and I will be heading home, resuming our normal lives. What is the first thing you’re going to do? – The first thing I’m going to and I’m going to book myself a ticket to the bay area so that I can see robin, emma, and noah. And I’m going to give them all the biggest hug they’ve ever had in their lives. That’s what I’m going to do. How about you? – Me? I will probably take a road trip with charlotte, check a couple of boxes off the bucket list, while reconnecting with my teenage daughter. And then dive headfirst into elq and build some serious generational wealth. – That’s interesting. – What is? – After all these months together, it seems that when we go home, we’re not going to be spending so much time in each other’s lives. – It took me decades to track down the decryption key, but I finally managed it. All I needed then was the ice princess, itself. But by the time I acquired that, luke spencer had already sold off several pieces. Took me another several years to find the right piece. But now, finally– finally, I have everything I need to complete what I set out to do. – Saving the world. – And ensuring a place for my family and their progeny. But saving the world comes at a cost. – What do you mean? – Well, I can ensure the future for my family, but countless other souls will have to pay the price, possibly for generations to come.


I didn’t expect to see you back at kelly’s so soon. – I was hoping you’d still be around. – Wow, what happened to keeping our distance? – It’s harder than it sounds. I just wanted to see how you were holding up. Cameron was a little intense earlier. – What did he say? – Nothing unexpected, just he cares about you and doesn’t want to see you hurt. – And what did you say? – I said I care about you, too. – Amazing. I told you guys to wait, and you listened. That never happens. Does that mean that you are considering being talent for the nurses’ ball? – Oh, we’re still working on it. – Oh, hurry up and say yes already. In the meantime, I’m going to reserve your tickets. – Oh, I only need one. I’m going solo this year. – That could be fun. What about you? Handsome guy like yourself, you probably need two tickets? – I’m holding out till I can take someone special, so maybe next year. – Here you go, fresh new diaper. He is a really good baby. But I have to admit, taking care of a newborn is no joke. I’m tired all of the time. And I am scared most of the time. – You’ve got a lot on your plate. – You’re kind, just like your grandmother. But it’s not just the baby that’s making me tired. I mean, ever since I got here, I’ve had to be on guard. Everyone I’ve met has tried to use me to their advantage. I mean, first my– my lunatic parents, now spencer and his incredibly privileged family. It’s like I can’t trust anyone. – I hear you, esme. But you got to understand, just because you forgot all the things that you’ve done, doesn’t mean everyone else has to. We don’t trust you for good reason. – Yeah, but it’s not like I can go back in time and undo it all. I mean, not that anyone would believe me. Apparently, I was a great liar. But what happens to me if I never get my memory back? I mean, will everyone just see me as this pariah that I used to be? – Not necessarily. I knew someone once. He was the town pariah. He made a lot of mistakes, hurt a lot of people. He was in all sorts of trouble with the law. After a while, he thought that he wouldn’t be able to come back from any of it. But he stuck around, made a new life for himself. And not only did he find acceptance, he found love and a family, too. – You’re not talking about yourself, are you? – No. I’m talking about my stepfather and your brother. – Did you get your photos? – Yeah, I have them. I even put them on a flash drive. – Good. Thank you for the chat, mr. Ashford. It was illuminating. – You two have fun tonight and– be careful. – Ok, be honest. Did marshall put your feet to the fire? – Yeah, they’re a little smoky, but I’m good. – I’ll talk to him. – Not necessary. He was honest and wise. He gave me a lot to think about, a whole new perspective. – On what? – Us. – What kind of cost are you talking about, victor? – Oh, don’t be alarmed, my dear. I won’t forget your contribution. You’ll be taken care of. So all I need to do now, is to enter the code engraved on the back of the ice princess into the program. The program will then decrypt that code and turn it into a set of coordinates.

[Beeping sound] Oh, yeah. Wait, that can’t be right. – What– what’s going on? – You’ve betrayed me. – Don’t misunderstand, I’m incredibly grateful the da agreed to give me immunity. I need my job. I have three boys to provide for, two of which who still need me on a daily basis. It would have been incredibly irresponsible of me to jeopardize their well-being. – You don’t have to convince me. But it sounds like you’re trying to convince yourself. Do you think you’re feeling guilty because you didn’t pay a high enough price? – Maybe. In hindsight, i don’t know how i couldn’t see what a colossal mistake I was making. You know, in the beginning, I thought I was doing the right thing. But then it just started to spiral and it got away from me. People got hurt, and lisa lost britt and– I know I’m going to encounter more people that think I deserve to be behind bars. – You know, you can’t concern yourself with that. You really can’T. Or them. – I’ve already let down so many people I care about, you and cameron, even epiphany. – Why epiphany? – I haven’t heard a peep from her. I know she’s busy visiting johns hopkins, but I can’t help but feel that there’s a deeper reason for her silence. – Oh, elizabeth, honey, come here. You made a mistake, all right? Everybody makes them. What matters is how you move forward. – You’d think I’d know that by now. – You didn’t disappoint me. You didn’t disappoint cameron. And I would bet money that you didn’t disappoint epiphany. Really, sweetie, the people who love you still love you. As sreal – so what was marshall’s perspective on us? – He told me that if i wanted to be a better man, which I do, that I need to do it for me, and not because– – because I want you to. – That’s right. Marshall reminded me that I’m going to keep an eye on what I want out of life, what’s most important to me. – Do you know? – Honestly, I’m not sure. – I am. You deserve to be happy, spencer. – You make me very happy. And the only thing that I know for sure is that I want you in my life. – Well, that’s a relief, because I have no plans of going anywhere.

[Marshall clears throat] – You still here? Party isn’t going to decorate itself. – Yeah, you’re very right. We should really get going. – Whatever you said to spencer, thank you. – You know I always got your back, girl. Go. – I bid you adieu, mr. Ashford. – And adieu to you too, mr. Cassidine. – Hi, josslyn. – Hi. I’m sorry, I thought that trina would be here. – That’s ok. It’s nice to see you. – It’s nice to see you. I brought cam’s favorite pretzels. – Oh, that’s very thoughtful of you. I’ll put it on the gift table. – I’m really sorry that I hurt cam. And I don’t blame you if you’re relieved that he’s getting far away from me. – Franco was heather’s son, which makes him your half-brother. – Wait, was? – He died. – Great. So one family member who would understand what I feel is gone. – Well, I think that he could still help you. Franco worked very hard to prove the haters wrong. He rebuilt his life here in port charles. I knu about him before I go. – You’re going somewhere? – Got into stanford. – And I was just starting to like you. – Well, there’s plenty of other people to like, esme. – Yeah, well, i haven’t met them yet. I’m pretty sure that there’s nothing for me here in port charles. – You have your son and a very generous support system. – Yeah. Well, spencer’s just trying to take my baby from me, and everyone in this town is team spencer. Well, except for my mother, who’s in an insane asylum. – Esme, if you skip town now, you really have no one. And how are you supposed to prove to everyone that you’re a changed person if you leave the first chance you get? – You have some valid points.

[Cell phone beeps] – Sorry, I um– I got a place to be. I got to go. Are you going to be ok? – You’ve been honest with me so far. You don’t have to act like you care. We’ll be fine. I promise. You can go. – I don’t understand. – This program should have revealed a set of coordinates. There’s no way these figures are right, which can only mean that either the decryption key or the diamond, itself, have been tampered. Now where exactly did you find this necklace? – The secure evidence locker. I bribed a police officer to let me in. – Now you said you thought that robert and laura might have been on to you. Is it possible they knew you were about to retrieve the necklace? – I don’t think so. I went right in immediately after the officer gave me access. And I– there wasn’t time to inform laura or robert or do anything with the necklace. – Don’t– don’t lie to me. – I wouldn’T. Never. What about the key? Are you sure your brother didn’t do something with the decryption key? – I suppose it is possible mikkos betrayed me. Yeah, perhaps the code was never meant to reveal the coordinates to anyone but mikkos. That selfish bastard, taking his secret to the grave. Damn it! – I don’t like the idea of not seeing each other every day. – Yeah? – So once we settle in with our children, I would like to know what’s next for us. – Well, what do you think that looks like? – You mean, after spending multiple days not getting out of that amazing bed of yours? – Is that– you know, it’s not very practical, is it? – Practicality is overrated. Is there something you’re not saying? – Well, it’s just ever since we decided to make a go of it, or get together, victor’s been in our way, right? So I’m just wondering if we are successful in putting him away, I think the future will look quite different. – Well, yeah. If victor’s no longer an issue, it’s going to be much better. – Well, yes, that’s easy to say now, but what about in a few months time? Maybe you’ll be itching for excitement or an adventure, you know? – Am I the danger freak? Look who’s talking, agent devane? – I’m not talking about me, I’m talking about you. – Any time you and I are together, whether we are cheating death, chasing whoever, or at the market looking for the perfect papaya– – I’m not a fan of papaya. – My point is this. You are my greatest adventure. You’re the only one I need.


I think she’d be back by now. I’m calling her. – After all these years, oh, no, I’ve come too far. Nope. No, no, no, no. I will not be denied again.

[Cell phone ringing] – The da’s office. I’m in the middle of a meeting. I already told you that I need more time before i can get back to the office. – Time’s up. You’re out now. – I’m sorry. I can’T. – Eileen– – what’s going on? – She’s about to blow up the whole operation. – I know cameron’s hurting. You meant a lot to him, but you guys can mean a lot to each other as friends. I’m pulling for that. – Me too. Me too. And– and I know how badly he wants this. And I’m so happy for him. But it’s really hard that he’s leaving and there’s already all this weird distance between us. – Well, I have faith the two of you will be able to see your way through it and remain friends. – Thank you. – You’re still here. – Oh, I just got off a call. Are you ready to commit to performing at the nurses’ ball? Everyone has a talent, hidden or otherwise. And I think I know where to place yours. – Well, I don’t know. – Ok. Well, think about it. You could be front and center at the most exciting event in port charles. You could go and meet someone. You could get married. Anything can happen at the nurses’ ball. – Oh, everything looks great in here. Hi. – Hi. – I brought some photos. – Ooh, I’ll show you where they go. – Ok. – Hey, spencer. – Hey. – You made it. – I made it. Did kevin mind having to pitch in and help with the baby? I should actually call him. – He got called back to work. Esme is taking care of ace. – You left my brother alone with esme? – Spencer, esme is perfectly capable of taking care of her own baby. And she’s a guest in our house. She’s not a prisoner.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Sheila: What are you up to, bill? What’s going on?

Ridge: Oh, no.

Bill: I’ve asked you to be my wife.

Sheila: And you’ve been good to me in every way, but one thing history has shown me is that if things seem too good to be true, they usually are.

Ridge: She knows. She’s onto him.

Chen: Everyone, standby.

Sheila: Are you playing me?

Brooke: It is quite shocking that thomas is designing for hope for the future again, but, you know, trying to be supportive for hope’s sake.

Katie: Yeah, well, fingers crossed. Maybe thomas will end up surprising us all.

Brooke: Yeah. I guess carter was surprised to find out that thomas was back on the payroll.

Katie: Yeah. His jaw was on the floor.

Brooke: I thought that only happened when you walked in the room.

Carter: He’s a good man.

Brooke: I’m happy that you’re happy.

Katie: Well, I will admit, it’s been nice having him by my side through this whole bill drama, but I would be happier if bill would just eliminate sheila from his life once and for all.

Brooke: Yeah.

Steffy: That’s a nice surprise. I love that you’re able to sneak away from the hospital just to be with me.

Finn: My procedure got rescheduled and I want to take full advantage.

Steffy: Well, I am glad to hear that… ’cause I was thinking about taking full advantage of you.

Finn: We gotta keep stealing these moments, steffy.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: Moments when the craziness of bill and sheila isn’t consuming us.

Steffy: I was wondering how long it was gonna take before we brought them up.

Finn: Well, that was just about three and a half minutes.

Steffy: Really? Well, how about we block another three minutes because all I want to be doing is consuming my sexy, sweet husband.

Brooke: Bill completely shut me out.

Katie: Me too basically.

Brooke: Well, let’s just hope he wakes up before sheila does any more damage.

Katie: He’s so secretive about their life together. Kind of makes me wonder what he’s really up to.

Bill: Playing you? What do you mean?

Sheila: What is this? What are you doing?

Ridge: Okay, slow down. Don’t let her rattle you.

Bill: Could I make myself

any clearer? I have given you an engagement ring, asked you to marry me. Now, I– I realize that may be a bit of a shock.

Sheila: Oh, a shock? It’s unbelievable. It’s unreal. Only in my wildest dreams. And that’s what makes me wonder, what’s really going on here? What’s the #1 retinol brand

Katie: I– I just, I don’t understand it. I know that he says he feels abandoned and– and alone, but how can he turn his back on his– his kids. I know he loves will, despite this insane attachment to sheila. I mean, how can he not see how destructive this is to himself, to his family, his friends?

Brooke: I don’t know. Just seems like he doesn’t care anymore. It’s like he’s given up.

Katie: I just don’t know how he could throw it all away. His relationship with his kids and his family, for– all for this psycho.

Bill: I thought we trusted each other.

Sheila: I thought so too.

Bill: Well then, what’s the problem? Am I moving too fast? Look, talk to me. I mean, we’re already living together. I– I have distanced myself from everyone in my life because you’re my priority. You’re the only one I want, so why not make our commitment official?

Ridge: Come on, spencer. Pick up the pace. Tell sheila what she wants to hear.

Bill: I know it’s a big step. You’re scared. Hell, I’m scared too. It’s a big risk we take, being open and vulnerable. We’ve both been burned a thousand times before.

Sheila: Yeah. I don’t like it when people betray me.

Bill: And I don’t like it when people betray me. That’s why I understand. Things haven’t turned out the way you hoped. You’ve had the rug pulled out from underneath you. Men don’t accept you. They turn and run the other way. That’s why you’re so guarded.

Sheila: Am I afraid or… guarded? Suspicious? Or am I just smart? And perceptive?

Ridge: Get it together, billy, or this whole thing is gonna blow.

Sheila: Tell me, bill. Am I right? Are you up to no good? Remember the things you loved

Steffy: Wow.

[ Steffy chuckling ] Gosh. Nothing these past few months are making any sense.

Finn: Yeah. And here we are analyzing why bill is doing the things that he’s doing. I mean…

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Is he really buying what sheila is selling?

Steffy: I don’t know. I don’t know why bill is alienating himself from liam and wyatt, katie and brooke. Why is he defending that monster?

Finn: And blackmailing your mom.

Steffy: Where has my dad been?

Finn: Ridge has been gone months now.

Steffy: He checks in occasionally, usually about business, but where is he? And why isn’t he here to help us?

Ridge: Come on, bill. Get it done. Turn it around.

Bill: Wow.

Wow, I never saw that coming. Not from you. Haven’t I proven myself enough? Haven’t I devoted enough of myself to you? I’ve burned every bridge in my life. I’ve gone against my kids, my own kids. I mean, what more do you want from me?

I have given all of myself

to you.

I’ve gotten down on one knee.

No strings, no pre-nup.

Ridge: There you go.

Bill: Why would I do that? Because I thought I finally found someone who would love and accept me for me. I’m a flawed man. I can admit that.

I have my demons.

I have committed crimes.

I have done the unimaginable, just like you have. Does that mean I’m not deserving of being loved? Does that mean I’m not deserving of being seen and understood for who I am? No. I am deserving of that. And I thought I finally found that in you. And that’s why I promised to give you the same in return. Because we both finally found true love. But you have to be willing to accept it, sheila. Will you accept it? Will you say yes? Let me put this ring on your finger, make you my wife and give you the future that you so wretchedly deserve.

Sheila: Yes. Yes, bill. I will marry you. I’d love to be your wife.

I would love to be your wife.

Ridge: Good. She bought it.

Chen: Nice work.

Ridge: That was all bill. I’m glad he got it done ’cause I gotta tell you, couldn’t take another minute of mr. Romance over there.

[ Sheila laughing ] Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Steffy: Did my dad move and not tell us? Is he some place gorgeous, just living it up?

Finn: Ridge will be back eventually. And I’m sure karma will take care of sheila some day because right now, I just want to enjoy you, steffy. I want to enjoy us. And I made a commitment to keep you and my family safe, but… I also vowed to have and to hold you for eternity.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s a really– that’s a really long time.

Finn: It’s not long enough, if you ask me.

Katie: He’s lost to us. I don’t know. The man that we’ve known, that we’ve loved, he’s not there anymore.

Brooke: I know. Sheila’s presence has changed him.

Katie: I just have to believe that the old bill spencer is in there somewhere and he’s gonna come back to us.

Brooke: And then sheila will be out of all of our lives once and for all.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: Ah, yes. All this time watching bill pretend that he’s into sheila.

Chen: Finally, she trusts him enough to accept his proposal, but can he get her to confess to murder one?

Ridge: He better. It’s the only way we can put her away forever.

[ Both laughing ]

Sheila: Oh, it is beautiful.

Bill: I couldn’t let you get away. This moment was too important to me. I know exactly what I want my future to look like from this day forward and I don’t ever want to wonder where you are. But to do this, we have to have a foundation of complete openness and honesty. Trust.

Now, I have been totally

forthcoming with you,

but there are things you

haven’t shared with me. Secrets from your past that– that frighten you, that you’re ashamed of. Secrets that keep you from giving all of yourself to me the way that I have to you. I need to hear it all, sheila.

Sheila: I have with you. You already know. I shot finn and steffy.

Bill: Yes, I– I know that. Unburden yourself. You’ve– you’ve told me that you have done unimaginable things.

Ridge: Come on. Close it out, bill.

Bill: I know you’re haunted and I know what that feels like.

Sheila: There was… a doctor, jay garvin. He was a therapist that was treating me and he threatened me.

Ridge: Here we go.

Sheila: We, uh… had an argument.

You can’t tell him anything! And there was a scuffle on a balcony.

Jay: Sheila, get a hold

of yourself!

Get a hold of yourself!

Bill: What happened? You had enough? You pushed him over the balcony?

Jay: Calm down, now!

Sheila: Let go of me!

Jay: No!

Sheila: He grabbed me and I shook free of him, then he… he fell over the balcony and he died. His death, it was tragic, but I never– I never meant to kill him. He just… he just fell.

Ridge: What? What the hell?

Bill: So sorry you had to go through that. It sounds awful.

Sheila: Oh, shoot. This– I feel so much better. I’ve never told anybody this.

Bill: I’m glad. But, I know there’s more. Something, something from your past that you’ve been carrying around all these years. It’s okay. You can tell me.

Sheila: There was… lance day. And he threatened me too.

Ridge: Okay.

Bill: What happened?

Sheila: I found out he was deathly allergic to bees. I tried to talk sense into him. He gave me no choice though. I… I sent bees.

Lance: Ow.

Sheila: Into his bedroom when he was sleeping and he was stung over…

Lance: Let me out of here!

Sheila: And over…

Lance: Please help me!

Help me!

Sheila: And over again.

Lance: I can’t breathe!

Sheila: And…

Lance: Help me! Help me!

Sheila: I made sure he couldn’t get out of that room.

Lance: Call 9-1-1.

Sheila: And he…

what’s the matter?

You don’t feel well? He pleaded with me for help.

Lance: Help me.

Help me, please.

Sheila: I just watched him gasp for air.

Bill: What did you do?

Sheila: I stood there and I watched him die.

Bill: So, this lance, you intentionally killed him? It’s okay.

You’re safe here.

You can tell me.

Sheila: Yes.

Ridge: And she’s done, right? She’s done. That’s it. He did it!

Bill: You… you murdered lance day?

Sheila: Yes. Bill, I’m a murderer.

Bill: That’s so hot. You naughty, naughty girl. Say it again.

Sheila: I… am a murderer.

Leanna: I left my press credentials at the hotel! You’re not really gonna make me go back and get them, are you? You know who I am!

Diane: Even with a mask on.

Jack: I would know that voice.

Diane: Mm. And the hair.

Leanna: It’s me — leanna love.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Perfect. There we go.

Gorgeous!

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Leanna: Well, well. Jack abbott. And diane jenkins. Oh! I have to admit, I was stunned and fascinated to hear you were still alive! And now here you are, accompanying jack to this momentous occasion. How spectacular is that? Wait a minute. Are you two a thing?

Jack: What brings you by tonight, leanna?

Leanna: Well, how could i stay away? I have so many fond memories of genoa city. And who better to cover the celebration of the century — no, make that two centuries — than moi, G.C.’S own celebrity journalista?

Leanna!

Leanna!

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Over here, over here!

Diane! Jack!

There we go!

Billy: Hey.

Chelsea: Hi.

Billy: You’re not dressed.

Chelsea: I’m running a little behind. Uh, I can’t decide what to wear.

Billy: Well, you left the industry, but you’re still a fashion icon. I’m sure there’s plenty of things up in your closet that you’re gonna look gorgeous in.

Chelsea: Thanks. Yeah. I just need to pick one and get on with it.

Billy: So, this isn’t about the dress. What’s up?

Chelsea: I just have a little anxiety about facing everybody all in one place, so I started to go down the rabbit hole.

Billy: Okay.

Chelsea: I thought I was ready for this, billy, but now… I’m not sure if I can be your date.

Diane: As thrilled as you are to see everyone, I think you’ll find that the top-tier guests are less than thrilled to see you.

Jack: Consider yourself warned.

Leanna: Oh, pish-posh. Any bad blood is so much bubbly under the bridge. We’ve all moved on, haven’t we? No, I’m quite certain everyone will be tickled to see me.

Diane: Well, think what you like.

Leanna: But the real reason I’m here tonight is because there are going to be so many juicy stories to write about. With a lot of power players on hand, who knows what could happen? I might even get another book out of it.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Ms. Love, over here, over here! Right here.

Yeah, could we get…

Jack: I am a little concerned our news will get out sooner than we anticipated.

Diane: Listen, I don’t want that blabbermouth leaking the news of our engagement before we make our official announcement. Jack, you should hang on to this so that no one sees it.

Jack: Until the time is right.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Stacy, harvey, one more over here.

Victor… why are you still

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nikki: Oh, michael, I am so excited. It’s going to be amazing.

Michael: It’s beyond amazing. People are gonna love the surprise you cooked up for them. You, young lady, have outdone yourself.

Nikki: Oh, that’s only because I had such a stellar planning committee. I could trust all of you to put the finishing touches on this event so that I could focus on…

Michael: Ah, other things.

Nikki: Exactly.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Nikki: Oh, and before I get busy greeting guests, I just want to say the food and drink that you and lauren organized — I mean, it’s — it’s out of this world.

Michael: Why, thank you, lady.

Nikki: And speaking of your lovely wife, is she on her way?

Michael: Oh, my.

Nikki: Because she is pushing the limits of fashionably late.

Michael: I got a text. She is on her way. Um, I don’t interfere with a woman when she’s getting ready for a thing like this.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] Good idea. I just hope she gets here before the presentation.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nick: I’m glad I didn’t eat. Got quite a spread.

Sally: And that ice sculpture, you could hide a truck behind that thing.

Victoria: You know, um, unfortunately, I can’t really.

Say the same thing for your camouflage technique.

Sally: Uh, I beg your pardon.

Victoria: Well, I mean, you’re doing your best to hide the fact that you’re expecting. But you’re kind of drawing more attention to it. You shouldn’t worry about it. You don’t have to be self-conscious. I mean, worst-case scenario, you can just wear your mask, right?

Nick: Vick’s right. You don’t have to try and hide it. I doubt anyone figures it out. And if they do, who cares? You look beautiful. You got this.

Nikki: Well, don’t you all look breathtaking?

Victoria: Oh, look who’s talking.

Nick: Stunning, mother. Stunning.

Victoria: Beautiful.

Nikki: Well, thank you. It’s your father’s favorite color.

Nick: Party is shaping up nicely.

Sally: Yeah. Looks like a really big turnout.

Nikki: So far, so good.

Victoria: Yep, it feels like a big old genoa city party.

Nikki: Well, that’s what we were going for.

Victoria: And the decorations look great.

Nick: Really great, mom.

Nikki: Oh, well, if you think this room is dazzling, just you wait.

Victoria: Oh?

Sally: Sounds like you have some surprises up your sleeve. I love surprises.

Adam: Guess we should go join the family, talk about nikki’s dress. Will you be okay with that?

Sharon: Yeah, of course. Unless you’re planning on causing trouble.

Adam: Me?

Victor: Now, ashley, why in the world would you lower yourself to be seen with this man in public, let alone as his date, considering your history?

Tucker: We’re not really interested in your opinion.

Ashley: I’m perfectly capable of deciding who I want to hang out with, but thank you so much.

Victor: Tucker, old boy, you’re being used. You know that, don’t you? Ashley has a plan for you. I don’t know what that is, but I’m very curious to find out how it all plays out. Meanwhile, why don’t you sell your company to me?

Tucker: Oh, would you like to buy my company?

Victor: Yes. When are you gonna make a decision?

Tucker: I’m currently working out a deal with devon.

Victor: Oh, you are? Well, devon — well, I’ll be damned. Good luck with that.

[ Laughter ] Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to have to say hello to jill.

Ashley: Have a wonderful evening.

Victor: You do the same.

Adam: Great party.

Nick: Yes, it is. Mom went all out.

Sharon: You certainly did, nikki. Congratulations on another amazing gala.

Nikki: Oh, well, thank you, sharon. Victoria, there’s the lieutenant governor. Let’s go say hello.

Victoria: I’m right behind you.

Nick: Mm-hmm.

Adam: Uh, well, things seemed a little awkward out front. Are we — we all good?

Nick: Everything’s great.

Adam: Good. Think I might use that photo of the four of us for my christmas card this year.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: Right.

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

Mamie: Oh, my.

Traci: I’m so glad you got my invitation, mamie. And I love that you’re actually here. You mean so much to us.

Mamie: Oh, thank you for thinking of me, traci. I was so happy to hear from you. Oh, my, my, this place has not changed at all. And I see so many faces that I recognize. Oh, it’s so wonderful to be here.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Find the brands, inspiration, and value

Billy: So, here’s the thing with these big social events, with the small talk and the air kisses — not really my thing, okay? I don’t find them relaxing at all. So I get it. Okay? And if you want to stay home and watch a movie and chill out, I’m fine with that. There’s no pressure here.

Chelsea: Pop some popcorn?

[ Chuckles ] Sounds like heaven.

Billy: Okay, cool. I told jack that I was gonna go, so I’m just gonna let him know, okay?

Chelsea: Wait, hold on, hold on. Maybe that’s a mistake.

Billy: What do you mean?

Chelsea: Giving in to my anxieties. My therapist would probably say that it’s good to face the situation, you know, to get out in a crowd, venture outside my comfort zone.

Billy: Okay. “Probably” isn’t for sure, though, and I’m not sure I see a reason why you would intentionally make yourself uncomfortable.

Chelsea: Well, I mean, this is kind of the ideal scenario, isn’t it? I mean, the focus is gonna be on the event, right? Not on me. I mean, nobody cares about me. I can just blend in and be an observer and see some people I want to see, and hopefully, have some lovely conversations. Plus, if I am going to be working with daniel, I have to learn to get out into the world again, right? So I think I just need to put on a fancy dress and face my fears and stay strong. That’s what dr. Malone would say, right?

She could, or she could say, “if you’re not ready, you don’t have to push yourself.”

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

Devon: Look at those two.

Abby: Oh, they’re probably just making nice. Develop yeah. It seems like your dad is very interested in whatever it is jill has to say.

Abby: Do you think he knows about jill’s change of heart?

Jill: Very good.

Victor: See you.

Jill: Yes, you will.

[ Sighs ]

Mamie: Jill foster.

Jill: Mamie johnson? Well, how delightful to see you. That is a beautiful dress.

Mamie: Well, thank you. You paid for it.

Jill: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. You still traveling the world on my dollar, are you?

Mamie: Oh, but I’ve invested it very wisely. Your $1 million has turned into $10 million over time.

Jill: Whoa. Good for you. But then, of course, you were always very, very shrewd.

Mamie: And you were always —

Jill: An abbott.

Mamie: What’s that?

Jill: I go by jill abbott. I have for decades. But you knew that, didn’t you?

Mamie: Can’t say that i recall.

Jill: Hmm. Look, mamie, uh, you and I both said some things over the years, you know, and maybe done some things that perhaps we regret now. But look at us. We’ve aged gracefully and beautifully, so why don’t we just let bygones be bygones, huh?

Mamie: I don’t think so.

Michael: You are an absolute goddess.

Lauren: Worth the wait?

Michael: Every damn second.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Thanks, baby.

Nikki: Oh, here you are.

Lauren: Oh. Am I that late?

Nikki: You’re just in time. Come on.

Lauren: Okay, great.

Michael: Alright.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nikki: Ladies and gentlemen.

Michael: Ladies and gentlemen!

[ Bell dinging ]

Nikki: Good evening, genoa city. I am nikki newman, co-chair of this event. You having fun?

Guests: Yeah! Whoo!

Nikki: Excellent. If you could start making your way towards the lounge in the next few minutes, we have a very special surprise for you.

Devon: Ready to go? Okay?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Abby: Oh, wrong way.

[ Laughter ] She found it.

Jeremy: Ah.

[ Thinking ] Tonight, this all ends for good.”

Woman: [ Chuckles ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Jeremy: Tonight, this all ends for good.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Phyllis: Hey.

Lily: Hi.

Phyllis: Hi. You both look great.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: So handsome.

Lily: Yeah.

Dylan: Thanks.

Phyllis: You want to, um, maybe, you know put a hold on our tension just for…

[ Sighs ] Do you still want to be angry at me? Hey, um, I just want you to know I’m very proud of you — everything that you’ve accomplished, all your success. Okay? He’s a good man. He will achieve anything that he goes for. Know that, lily. Know that about him.

[ Sobs ]

Dylan: Oh, my god. I am so sorry.

Lily: No, no, no, no, no. That’s — that’s — I don’t know what that was.

Dylan: She’s been all over the place lately. I mean, really erratic. I would say that I’m worried about her, but I don’t know, I think that’s what she wants.

Jack: Well, shall we head to the lounge?

Traci: Hello?

Jack: Oh, aunt traci. We didn’t see you.

Mamie: Is this your boy, jack?

Jack: This is my boy. Kyle, summer, I would love you to meet the woman that raised traci and ashley and me. This is mamie johnson. Kyle, if you don’t remember her, believe me, she remembers you.

Kyle: [ Chuckles ]

Mamie: Oh, you’re so handsome and so tall. And you have a lovely wife and a son now. Oh, what a lovely couple you are. Jackie, its the spitting image of you. I hope that he has your values, as well.

Jack: Oh, he does. An occasional misstep, but, yeah, he’s on the right track.

Mamie: Well, I don’t doubt that. You and his mother raised him well.

Diane: We’re about to go in for the big reveal, whatever that might be. Would you care to join us, mamie?

Mamie: I’d love to.

Traci: You know what? I’m gonna get us some champagne and meet you in there, okay? I’m so glad we got here in time.

Summer: In time for what?

Kyle: Is this your big announce–

Jack: Um, no.

Kyle: What, then?

Traci: I think I might have a little inkling of what’s about to happen, being on the planning committee and all.

[ Laughter ]

Summer: Hmm, well, I will get some champagne with traci. And you go get us a good spot in the lounge. I don’t want to miss any of grandma and grandpa’s speeches.

Kyle: Okay.

Jack: Shall we?

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: Ladies? Lucky me. Look at this.

[ Light laughter ]

Summer: Good to see you.

Traci: Thank you.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Summer: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Hey.

Traci: Well, hi, phyllis.

Phyllis: Traci. [ Chuckles ]

Summer: Yes, mom?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Summer: What is it? Kyle’s waiting for me.

Phyllis: I’m sure you want to go in and listen to nikki and victor drone on and on, right?

Summer: Mom, why are you being like this, especially tonight?

Phyllis: Um… I know that we’ve had conflicts summer, but, um… I want you to know that I’m so proud of the woman you’ve become, and impressed with the mother you’ve become. No matter what happens, I want you to know I’m proud of you. I’m so proud of you. You know? Okay?

Summer: [ Chuckles ] My mom acting weirder than usual?

Traci: I-I-I don’t — it was — I don’t know. It was hard to say. She said some beautiful things, but it seemed very desperate and strange. I’m kareem abdul-jabbar.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Nikki: May I have your attention, please? Thank you all for coming. This is such a momentous occasion. The 200th birthday of this great city we call home.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Victor: And contrary to rumors, I was not here at the founding of this town.

[ Laughter ] However, as many of you, I came here many, many years ago, built somewhat of a successful business. Raised a wonderful family, as many of you have.

Nikki: And many of us have had our differences over the years. We have all shared a lot of love and laughter. This event is the celebration of how our city has grown and continues to thrive. A city with a small-town feel, where business titans can create empires and a coffee shop can feel like a second home where people gather to commiserate, mourn, celebrate, and even fall in love.

Victor: Oh, yes.

[ Light laughter ] And you know, I know this is a great town because many of you have chosen to come back to raise your kids here, to tell them and to show them what a wonderful town this is.

Nikki: The success of our city is due to our values. We welcome the changes that keep it young and vibrant, and also celebrate and honor our heritage, while always remembering those we have lost. People like my dear friend katherine chancellor.

Victor: Yes, and my dear friend neil winters, gone too soon.

Nikki: We paid tribute to katherine in one of our favorite places, chancellor park…

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Nikki: …And thought it was only fitting that tonight we honor another citizen who was so instrumental in making this the dynamic city that it is and, more importantly, the city we love to call home.

Victor: And I invite my daughter abby to a special presentation.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Neil winters was a huge part of the fabric of genoa city. He made a lasting impact with his work, his family, the abbott-winters foundation, and of course, hamilton-winters. So tonight we are here, we are able to celebrate in this beautiful room that was created in his memory to welcome both visitors and citizens alike to enjoy the music that he loved so much. So it is my honor and privilege to officially unveil the newly renovated athletic club lounge as the neil winters jazz lounge.

[ Cheers and applause ] As many of you know, neil had a club — his beloved club, indigo — that he sold so he could spend more time with his family. I know he missed it very much. It was a place where he could show his friends hospitality, spend evenings with them, and they can enjoy the americana music that meant so much to him.

Victor: Yes.

Abby: So please enjoy this ongoing gift to our community.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

[ Indistinct conversations ] I don’t know what to day. This is such an amazing gesture. Really.

Nikki: Oh, well, neil was such a dear, dear friend. Just seemed like the right time and place to launch a permanent tribute to him.

Devon: Oh, it certainly is. And thank you so much. And how did you keep this a secret from me?

Abby: Oh, I was dying to tell you, but surprise.

[ Chuckles ]

Photographer: How about I get a group photo of you all?

Victor: Yes.

Devon: Sure. Please.

Victor: Here you are, darling. Here we go.

[ Camera shutter clicking ]

Photographer: Great. Can I get a photo of you with the newmans?

Lily: Yeah, sure.

Photographer: Alright. Alright. Get on in.

[ Camera shutter clicking ] Alright. Thank you very much.

Nikki: Thank you.

Devon: Thanks. Wow.

Lily: I honestly can’t even tell you how much it means to me that you would honor my father like this. Thank you.

Victor: You know, your dad was not only a business partner, but he was a close friend. One of the few friends I’ve ever had.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: I know that he would move heaven and earth to make sure that the two of you bridge your differences and get rid of the conflict that exists between you. I know that he would wish that fervently. Okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Jill: You know what, devon? Even in a photograph, he is the sexiest man in the room. No offense, okay?

Devon: No, not at all. None taken.

Jill: I really love this place, every inch of it. Wow. What a great homage to your father.

Devon: I know. Really, really is. Jill, I have a question to ask you.

Jill: Mm-hmm?

Devon: Did victor have anything to do with you changing your mind about the ipo?

Jill: Did you know that victor is one of your biggest supporters?

Mamie: You know, you have your mother’s spirit, don’t you?

Lily: Oh, god. I wish.

[ Both chuckle ]

Mamie: She was a beautiful woman, lily.

Lily: Mm-hmm.

Mamie: And strong. And you’re just like that. Oh, it makes me feel happy to be here with you.

Lily: Oh, me too. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ]

Mamie: So, how are your young ones? It’s charlie and maddie?

Lily: Maddie? Yes, that’s right. They’re good. They’re really good. They’re just busy, you know? Too busy to call their mother, of course.

Mamie: Isn’t that how it always goes?

[ Both laugh ] Oh, nathan jr. How is my favorite doctor?

Nate: I am good. I’m good. It is so good to see you, aunt mamie. But I think we need to update you on a few things.

Mamie: Oh.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Mamie: So, then maybe the three of us gets together to update on a few things?

Lily: Yeah. Yeah, I would love that.

Mamie: However, you got to do it, because I’m not gonna be here long, and I don’t know when I’ll be back this way again. So let’s make a date.

Lily: Okay. Sounds good.

Nate: Can I help you up?

Mamie: Oh, I can manage, honey.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Lily: I will make sure to set up a time for us all to get together.

Nate: Thanks. Neil would have dug this place.

Lily: Mm-hmm. Yeah, he would have. I really wish he could have seen it. So, how’s elena? I haven’t seen her.

Nate: She’s still at memorial. She should be joining me anytime now.

Lily: Okay.

Nate: I, uh — I hope this moment, this event can help repair some of the damage between you and devon.

Lily: Well, it’s not really any of your business, nate, so you probably stay out of it.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Audra: How many rejections before you accept that reuniting those two is a lost cause?

Nate: Never say “never,” audra.

Victoria: Oh, excuse me for one minute. I need to steal your boss.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Leanna: Imagine creating a fabulous new venue to honor a true genoa city legend. I knew neil winters back in the day, and he was one classy guy.

Ashley: Okay, I can’t take it anymore. I’m just gonna let her have it.

[ Gasps ] Oh!

Mamie: [ Laughs ]

Ashley: Mamie!

Mamie: Sweet ashley.

Ashley: Oh, I’ve missed you. I heard you’re staying with us.

Mamie: That’s right. Your brother’s been so generous. You know, he’s always been that way.

Ashley: I don’t know about that. I need you to set him straight like you used to do as a kid —

Mamie: What’s going on?

Ashley: Oh, excuse me. This is a private conversation.

Leanna: Mamie johnson. What you must know about each and every abbott.

Ashley: Okay, just stop, alright? You want me to create a scene? Is that what you’re trying to do? What are you doing?

Leanna: Now, now, my dear, claws in.

Ashley: I’m not your “dear.” I never have been your dear. Okay? Just knock it off.

Leanna: Whoa.

Victor: My goodness, if it isn’t leanna love.

Leanna: Victor!

Victor: I haven’t seen you in years.

Leanna: Amazing! You look so great! How are you?

Victor: Well, I’m alright, but, you know, I don’t think you are invited to this.

Leanna: No, I wasn’t invited. But you know me, victor. I don’t need an invitation.

Jill: No, she sure doesn’T.

Victor: Don’t you be a bad girl, now.

Jill: Do you, leanna? You’re trashing up the place, as usual, aren’t you?

Leanna: Oh, my gosh. I can see I’m outnumbered. So much for this being a forgiving town.

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: Oh, this is a lot of fun.

Jill: Just a heads-up. Devon suspects that you were the one who caused my change of heart.

Victor: He’s very bright. What did you say?

Jill: I didn’t say anything concrete.

Victor: Well, you know, I think he and lily were very moved by my gesture for neil. You know?

Jill: This is all part of your plan, isn’t it?

Victor: [ Inhales deeply ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Devon, we’re so close. I mean, can’t we fix this? Moderate to severe eczema

Chelsea: On the other hand…

[ Chuckles ] I keep saying that, don’t I?

Billy: It’s okay. You’re your own devil’s advocate.

Chelsea: I just feel like if I try to test myself while I’m on shaky ground, is it even a fair test? Am I just setting myself up to fail?

Billy: There’s no right or wrong answer here. It’s what you think is best for yourself. That’s it, that’s all. Okay? If you’re still feeling nervous about it, it’s alright. We’ll keep it low-key. I’ll go home and change. You pick out a movie, I’ll be back before you know it.

Chelsea: It would be a shame if no one saw you looking so good in this tuxedo.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Chelsea: Screw my insecurities. I’m ready for this.

Nate: [ Sighs ] Madame?

Victoria: Thanks. So, what should we drink to?

Nate: [ Sighing ] Hmm. How about your mom, dad, and sister for doing such a great job in dedicating the new jazz club?

Victoria: Hear, hear.

Nate: Mmm. So, did you know?

Victoria: About the club?

Nate: Yeah. I can’t help wondering if you were aware and managed to keep it a secret from me.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] No, no, they kept it under wraps. It was completely a surprise to me, too.

Nate: I could tell it meant a lot to devon and lily that the newmans would do something like this to honor their father. Maybe to help ease the tension.

Victoria: You really do care about your cousins.

Nate: Hmm. Yeah. I’d like nothing more than for my family to find peace.

Audra: Hmm. Victoria doesn’t seem to be wasting any time.

[ Knock on door ]

Jeremy: Who is it?

Phyllis: Me. Please open up.

Jeremy: Thought I told you, we need to be discreet.

Phyllis: Trust me, I’m the picture of discretion. I’m — the party — what are you doing up here?

Jeremy: Everything here is all set. You got my text, right?

Phyllis: Yes.

Jeremy: Okay. Hey, you’re not having second thoughts, are you?

Phyllis: Uh, no.

Jeremy: Okay.

Phyllis: Seeing that woman with my daughter, laughing and carrying on, just cemented everything for me.

Jeremy: Good. Now it’s time to get diane up here to set the final stage.

Jack: What? You wanted to talk to me about something.

Diane: Well, after the newmans unveiled this place, I started thinking, maybe tonight isn’t the right time to share our news.

Jack: I agree. Hard act to follow. You know, I don’t want it to appear that we’re trying to steal everyone’s thunder by announcing our engagement either.

Diane: Certainly not.

Jack: We’ll know when the moment is here, and it will be perfect, I promise. Ours is the perfect love story. After all these years, everything we’ve been through, together and apart, we’re about to become mr. And mrs. Jack abbott.

Diane: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Okay?

Diane: Mmm.

Next week on “the young and the restless”…

Kyle: I don’t know you. But I take it you never stop looking for trouble.

Leanna: It’s what I do best.

Danny: I met gina over at the airport, and we came straight here.

Traci: Oh, you look fab.

Michael: Oh!

Diane: We’re done here, phyllis. It’s over.

Phyllis: Oh, believe me, for the first time in your life, you are correct. It is so over.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

– Hello, eileen. – Welcome back to the safe house. – Is all this cloak and dagger still necessary? – Yes. – Yes. – See, I don’t think it is. I think it amuses you to torture me by having felicia scorpio put a bag over my head and transport me here like I’m– – like what? Like– like someone who would sell us out to victor if she knew our location. – I ‘t do that. – And we’re supposed to take your word on that? – Of course not. But you have all the leverage. So your best interests are my best interests. – And you know what? We would like to keep that imbalance of power in our favor for now. – Fine. Tell me what you want me to do and I’ll do it. You can at least rely on me for that. – Well, I hope so, because we can’t afford to make one single misstep. And neither can you. – Figure if you aren’t hungry, you can at least stay hydrated. – What is that? – It’s an organic herbal tea that’s meant to promote healthy lactation. – So you say. – Don’t worry, esme. Drugging people is kind of more of a you thing. – Spencer. – Good morning, grandmother. – I’d like it to be for everyone, including esme, so let’s not forget that esme is our guest. – How could I possibly forget? – Ok, look, I– I expected this to be a bumpy transition, but we want esme to feel welcome, don’t we? – Of course. Forgive me, esme. – I won’t stay anyplace where I feel unwanted or unwelcome. So wherever I go, ace goes.

[Knocking] – I’ll get that. Uncle victor, what brings you by? – Well, what else? I’ve come for my nephews. – Stop right there, young lady. – I thought the house was empty. – You mean you hoped it was empty. Why are you sneaking in here like this isn’t your home? – Because I’m not sure if it is.

[Soft music] – Hey, I was hoping i could still find you here. – Picking up my last paycheck. – Wow. End of an era, huh? – Yeah. So why were you looking for me? – Thanks for the update. Burner phone didn’t pan out. Britt couldn’t id the contractor from the warehouse. – So that’s it, dead end?

[Dramatic music] – Can you meet me at the pier, 55, in an hour? First rule of survival, in this business, you never give up.


they’re not gonna stop after the first attempt. You have to keep digging. – Do you think your family’s at risk? – I’m taking precautions. I don’t know. – Why not? – Because when it’s a hit like this, a hired gun, the only thing that matters is taking out the target. – I was thinking about our conversation yesterday. – About dropping the charges against esme? – No. About dex.

[Music playing] (Singing) can’t sleep. I can’t breathe on my own right now. – I know there’s a lot up in the air with curtis and your mama. But one thing I can say for sure, on behalf of them and myself, trina, you will always have a home with us. – Doesn’t feel much like home, does it? I mean, when I came in here, I half expected to find a tumbleweed.

[Laughs] – Yeah, it is looking mighty grim up in here. What with portia constantly working and curtis at the metro court, hell, to avoid the quiet, I’ve been staying out. – Out with ms. Epiphany? – Nah, epiphany, she’s– she’s still out of town. Remember, I told you that she had gotten accepted to a whole slew of medical schools out of state– johns hopkins. – Oh, my god. – He’s the front runner. – Oh, my god. That’s– that’s amazing! That’s really good for her. – Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is good for her. – So maryland isn’t that far, is it? – Uh, no, the fast train only takes 9 and 1/2 hours. – So airplane is out of question. – Lookm I could do that. But that– that’s really not what’s troubling me. Epiphany moving to baltimore or somewhere, everything that’s happening here, I don’t know where I fit in. – [Sighs]. I know the feeling. – Uncle victor, right now is not the best time. – You’re not welcome here. I’m afraid I’m gonna have to ask you to leave. – Laura. Well, at least you’re giving me a choice in the matter this time. – I would prefer you leave on your own, but I can and I will have you physically removed by security. – No, that’s not necessary, grandmother. Please don’t do that. I will handle this. – My dear spencer, you of all people should know I’m not one to be handled.

[Infant cries] – That’s not what I meant, and I think that you know that. Now, if you don’t mind, I’d like to have a word with you out in the hallway, please. – Very well. Lead the way. – After you. I insist. – [Scoffs]

[Infant cries] – I’m sorry about that. I will do my best never to have him bother you again. – Ever? Sorry, I just get this really bad feeling every time victor cassadine’s around. – That’s because victor cassadine is a very bad man. – When I told you that esme and the baby were staying here, I did not expect you to just show up. – That child is a cassadine. He belongs with cassadines. I will go wherever I want, take what or whoever I want, and woe betide anyone who gets in my way. – Including me? – So you’re gonna call victor, and you’re going to set up a meet for today. – Tell him you have a very special delivery. I cannot stress this enough. This is the most critical juncture of our plan. – It is imperative that victor believes you are delivering the thing that he’s been looking for. – Something’s gone wrong, hasn’t it, some kind of setback. – Not that it’s any of your business, but we have had to widen our circle of trust. – Time is no longer on our side. We have to be sure of our allies. – Don’t worry. I won’t double cross you. – You’ve thrown in with my father before. How do we know you haven’t struck a deal with him already? – Because I value my own life. Victor has proven anyone is disposable, even his own son. I would be a fool to betray the only people willing to give me a chance to survive. – People have died protecting the information engraved in that piece of the ice princess. Now we’re giving victor what he wants. – So he thinks.


– It’s actually a very good forgery. – How very good? Because you know victor will have an expert authenticate this. – Well, that is why you have to set up the meet for today, so he doesn’t have a chance to call an expert in. – Hopefully, you will have left before the questions are raised. – How are you going to protect me? You know victor doesn’t like to meet in public spaces. – Right. We have taken every precaution. Da scorpio will be near the location ready with backup. – And if the operation goes south, the cavalry will ride in. But in order to offer you that protection, you need to be wired for sound. – Are you insane? First you send me in with a fake necklace, and now you want me to wear a wire? If victor catches on, he will kill me. – We need to know everything that’s happening in real time. – You want victor, keep that wire, or the deal is off. – It’s a damn shame your buddy cam is leaving. – I know. I’m really gonna miss him. – Yeah, seemed like a good kid, that one– loyal, reliable. – Unlike spencer. – Nobody said anything about spencer. – You didn’t say his name, but come on, I know how you all feel about him. – At this point, I’m not sure how I feel about spencer cassadine, apart from the fact that he seems to tie you up in knots. – Ok, well, maybe it’s best that we don’t talk about him. I’m just gonna go grab those photos and I’ll be on my way. I’m sorry for even bringing him up. – What’s on the tongue is on the mind. What’s troubling you? – Spencer is living with his ex-girlfriend again. – You, of all people, understand nuance and diplomacy. – Usually. – Well, this is a very complicated situation. There are many people involved, and they all want the same thing, to protect ace. – God, that name. – I know, it’s got to go. But despite our common goal, we all have different methods. – All right, so what’s your method? – Putting esme back in prison where she belongs and away from that baby. And then as next of kin, I will retain custody, and I would never dream of keeping that baby away from his great uncle. – A short time ago you asked for my help in this matter. Do you still need it? – I do, but we cannot talk about that here. – There we go. – You wanted coffee? I make a pretty good cup. – Are you sure? Spencer said it’s not good for breastfeeding mothers. – Oh, well, spencer means well, but he’s no expert. Coffee is fine in moderation. So go ahead and enjoy. – Mmm, not bad.

[Laughs] – Thank you. Esme, I hope you know that you’re protected here. – Even from spencer?

[Door opens] – Grandmother, esme, I am so sorry for my great uncle’s intrusion. That will not happen again. Hi. How you doing? So handsome. I’ll see you later, ok? – Where are you off to? – I’m gonna go pick up trina for cam’s party. – Oh, ok. – All right, so, see you later. You’ll be there, right? – Of course.

[Baby gurgling] – Um, cameron webber? – Yes, yes, my grandson has been accepted to a very prestigious athletic program in california. – Good to know I didn’t ruin his life too. – The person you used to be, esme, did an awful lot of damage. – Yeah, damage you can never forgive. – Congratulations on getting into stanford. – Thank you. How did you know? – Well, spencer told me, uh, more than once, he’s very proud of you. – He is. You know, it’s kind of hard to tell, because he makes fun of me every time it’s brought up. – Yeah, that’s how you know he’s very proud of you. So have a great time at stanford. You’re gonna be missed. – Thanks. Anyway, I don’t actually work here anymore. But if you want, I can take down your order and let the waiters know. – Two cups of coffee to go. – On it. – Can I talk to you for a second? You wait here.

[Soft music] – What’s this about?

[Dramatic music] – I’m just rooting out my enemies.


– Tell me you have what I asked for. – You know I wouldn’t dare let you down, victor. – I should hope not. Bring it to me tonight. – Well, the longer we wait, the better the chance they’ll notice it’s missing, and figure out I’m the one that took it. Unless you want it to end up back in the secure evidence locker with zero chance of getting it out again, we need to do this now.

[Knocking] – My suite, metro court, 45 minutes, not one second later, you got that? Spencer. Thank you. – Sorry about earlier, but I could not risk– – no, I understand. Now, I have a business meeting starting soon, so let’s get right down to brass tacks. What exactly do you want to happen to esme? – Which enemies? You have so many. – Just keep an eye out. Let me know if you see anything out of the ordinary when you’re with your mother and your sisters. – Are you gonna tell me why? – I’m not gonna give you the details, no. – Oh. Don’t worry about it. I already know. – Yeah? How? – I’ll be out of here as soon as sonny’s done with joss. – Well, while you’re here, there’s some stuff I want to say to you. – The fact that I don’t remember what I did to your family doesn’t absolve me. I mean, I’ve hurt both cameron and spencer, among others, and– – yes, you did. – But you’re still letting me stay here? – I’m letting you stay here because I wanted my newest grandson to be safe and well cared for and not in a prison. Well, that’s– that’s not entirely true. There’s another reason. I know the pain of being separated from your child. I think I told you that I was separated from my son, nicholas, for many years, because of the cassadines. – Yeah, which is exactly what spencer is trying to do to me. – But spencer has a lot of good reasons to distrust you. Esme, I’m a mother, and I know how much having a new baby can change someone. I also happen to believe in redemption. – Well, does that mean that– do you believe in me? – I want to. I am trying to. – But you’re not there yet? – That doesn’t mean that I won’t be. What about you? Do you believe in me? Can you accept that i want what’s best for you? – So esme and the baby are living with spencer’s grandmother in her apartment, while spencer also lives there. – Whoa, I see. – I know esme doesn’t remember all the terrible things that she did, but I still don’t trust her. – Good for you. You shouldn’t trust her. Girl should be behind bars. I’m furious that they dropped the charges, too, and denied you justice. – Well, actually, it was my idea to get the da to stop pursuing the case, just for now. – What in the lord’s name possessed you to do that? – Oh, I’m having second thoughts about it now, even though I convinced spencer there’s a better chance of getting the charges to stick if we wait. – Spencer again. Right? Why does it seem that you’re the only one making concessions in this friendship? – Spencer’s been there for me too. – Has he? – He has. His life is just complicated. – Right. With no sign of it ever getting simpler. Trina, please, tell me. Why do you need to remain friends with spencer cassadine? – When you first asked for my help, you were concerned that esme was going to raise her child in prison. But that’s been resolved now. – Thanks to trina, we got the da to hold off on formally pursuing the case, yes. – Good for trina. Yeah, best to keep the law at bay, at least until you know they’re on your side. – The problem is now that esme is a free woman, there is a chance that she could disappear and take my brother with her. Now, I cannot let that happen. – Spencer, I have sacrificed a great deal, trying to make this world a better place and preserving our family’s legacy into the bargain. Sadly, your father had neither the faith nor the resolve to help me in my aims. Do you trust me, spencer? – I know that there’s nothing that you wouldn’t do for this family. – Then understand this. There’s no way in hell esme is raising a cassadine heir, not while there’s a breath left in my body.

[Dramatic music]


– Spencer is really worth it. – But is he worthy? Clearly, you– you brighten his day. That’s you. That’s what you do. – Thanks. I try. – [Chuckles] But how does he make you feel? – He makes me feel– he makes me feel like I’m the best thing that ever happened to him. – Oh. Is that so? Sounds like spencer has become a special friend. Is that why you’re so bugged out with he and esme sharing the same space? – It’s not that I don’t trust him around her. – Then what is it? – It was just strange, seeing them all together, looking like a family. – Well, I’d just say– stop me if I’m wrong here. But this sounds more– more like something else than friendly concern. – Well, spencer is more than just a friend. Our relationship has evolved over a couple of weeks. And I just haven’t told anybody about it. – And why not? – Everybody’s been busy or avoiding each other. – Perhaps. Or is it because you’re not quite sure of it yourself? – From the first time I remember seeing you– and definitely, the night you helped me deliver ace– you have been nothing but kind to me. But spencer is your grandson, and he doesn’t think I can raise my own son. – So you don’t know who to trust. – Even if I could trust someone, why would they trust me? – Ok, so you need someone to take the first leap of faith. I’m willing to do that. Yeah. Let’s start right now. Ok, so everything here is all new to you. You’ve got to take a little time to adjust to your surroundings. So I’ll go out for a bit, and you can stay at home here on your own and just relax and bond with ace. – Uh, by myself, with– with no one looking over my shoulder? – Yes. Unless you’re worried about being alone with the baby. – Oh, no, no. I’m just surprised you trust me on my own. – You’re not a prisoner here. – Yeah, well, maybe this time. – All right, look. In case of emergency. – You know I could just take this and take off, right? – You could. But since you want what’s best for your baby, I have faith that you know that means staying right here. So you have a lovely morning. – I’ll take the necklace to victor. But the wire is a no-go. – We were afraid you might feel that way. – Well, do you have a backup plan, one that doesn’t involve me wearing a neon sign that says, victor, I’m betraying you? – If you won’t wear a wire, we won’t know you’re in trouble. But we have arranged for da scorpio to call you on official city business. – Yes, so if anything feels off, you raise the alarm, and he will come in and get you. – Ok. All right.

[Sighs] Fine. But I want you to promise your guarantee that once I deliver this necklace, I will be free to move on. – Well, this isn’t over until we crack the code and find out what it’s for. – Look, until we know what victor is after, honestly, eileen, none of us are free. – [Sighs] – After I found out about you and josslyn, there’s a lot of things I wanted to say to you, a lot of things i wanted to do to you. – I get it. – What I realized is that despite all my anger, all my feelings, all of that that doesn’t matter, because what matters is josslyn. She’s been my friend since forever. She still is. So if you hurt her, I will tell sonny about you too. And you’ll find your back on that road so fast, you’ll wish you would never have met her. – Josslyn, how do you know someone’s targeting you? – My mom told me that there was an incident– one big enough for you to beef up the security and keep donna from spending the night. – Temporarily. – I know the drill. Ok? And donna and avery are young, yes. But they’re starting to get used to it, too, and they think that this life is normal. And I just wish that that broke your heart even half as much as it breaks mine.


– Ok. – Ok? – You have made yourself clear. – Oh, you don’t think I’m serious. – No, I know you’re serious. I promise I will never hurt josslyn. – Good. See to it that you don’T. – I mean it. You have no idea how much I care about her. – Dex, time to roll. – Yes, sir. Thank you. – Oh, mr. Corinthos, please, no. I got it. – Thank you. I appreciate that. – Of course. – Good luck at stanford. – Thank you. So what did you and sonny talk about? – Oh, the usual. How his business affects the rest of us. And how about you and dex? – We talked. – I’m sorry. That was awkward. – Awkward’s kind of been our mo nowadays.

[Chuckles] – Yeah. That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. Listen, if you don’t want me at your goodbye party, I completely understand. – I want all my friends there. You are my friend, right? – Yeah. Sorry, it’s just, it’s really nice to hear you call me that. – What else would I call you? – Cam, we’ve been friends forever. And that’s not going to change just because of my feelings for dex. – So you guys are pretty serious now, huh? – Well, I mean, I could never be with someone so soon after our breakup if it was meaningless. – Right. I’ll see you later, joss. – If the da doesn’t have enough proof to convict esme, then we’ll just have to produce it. – You mean, frame her? – We both know she’s guilty. If your father hadn’t imprisoned her, she would never have lost her memory. But evidence can be– – manufactured. – Well, bottom line is esme’s going to have to face the music. And ace will be in the custody of those who care for him best– you, me– – grandmother? Do you mind if i get back to you? – Of course. You take all the time you need. But as you said, esme is a free woman and could decide to just take off at any time, taking with her your innocent and defenseless little brother. – What do you think, ace? She sounded pretty sincere, didn’t she? No? Here, we have food, warmth, and relative freedom. What more can we ask for? Yeah? Not that we really have any other offers, do we? You’re right. What is stopping them from just keeping you and tossing me out on the street? Yeah. What is it? What’s stopping them? I won’t let that happen.

[Baby cooing] – I trust spencer, and I trust the connection. But all of this is just new. And let’s just say some of my views are evolving. I guess that’s part of growing up. – Well, that never stops. Learning who we are, that’s a lifelong process. I don’t have to tell you, there are circumstances in life that will arise to make us question everything we thought about ourselves. You got to have good people in your corner to support you along the way. That’s all. Friends are great. Family is better. – But what if you don’t know who your family is? – Dna doesn’t determine family. Connection does.

[Chuckles] – Eileen has a lot to lose here. Yeah, I don’t think she ever had any real loyalty to victor. I think she’s always been in it for herself. I think that she will follow your instructions to the letter. – She’d better. Because if she screws up or turns on us, this is over. – You don’t sound confident. – All I’m saying is, we can’t let our guard down. Not where victor cassadine’s concerned. – Have you done as I asked? – I’m a woman of my word, victor. – Well, where is it? – As promised.

[Sispenseful music] – At last. – You summoned me? – Somebody tried to take me out. I thought that’s news to you. – I heard of your recent trouble. – You have any idea who’s behind it? – If only. An unprovoked attack is an unforgivable breach of decorum and a threat to us all. Any leads? – Whatever’s left of them. You recognize him? – A hit man, I presume? Not that I can say. What do you want to know about it? – Ok, if you don’t know, then somebody in your organization must know. And I heard he was spotted at the highsider last time I checked, that’s your bar, right? – I do own it. But I’m afraid i can’t help you. – Can’t? Or won’t?


rely an investment, one of the establishments I own a stake in. I don’t keep tabs on the customers. As a businessman, surely, you understand. – I’m disappointed. That’s the second time you’ve let me down in a couple of weeks. – But I don’t understand. – Ok, you bought my late cousin brando’s garage, am I right? – It was a good investment. And brando’s mother was eager to sell. – Right. She told me. What I want to know is, why didn’t you? – You’re absolutely right. In fact, I should have let you know I was considering it before negotiating with ms. Corbin. Please, accept my apologies. – Let me tell you something, selina. You mess with my family, you mess with me. – Of course. All of that said, i hope you are pleased. The garage can be beneficial for us both. – The garage is the least of my concerns. – Yes. The shooter’s connection to the highside is of concern to me as well. My people never do business there. Regardless, I’m sure someone must know the man in the photo. I’ll make inquiries. – You do that. Sonny? I hope you know how much I value our association. Rest assured, this enemy is one we share.

[Dramatic music] – Can she really be trusted? – You’re not nervous, are you, darling? – What? Yes, of course I’m nervous. Lucy just nearly got herself killed, and now, we’re sending eileen back into that same lion’s den, at greater risk, with just as little protection. – Well, look on the bright side. Nobody likes the woman. – That’s very unkind. – Anna, we are this close to figuring out the insanity that my father has been cooking up and ending it. And if anyone can finish the job, it’s us. – You know what they say– that most car accidents happen within a 10-mile radius of your home. We’re very close to home. Aren’t we? – Well, then i guess, buckle up. – You did well, eileen. – Oh, I’m so glad you’re pleased. – How did you manage it? – You don’t ask a magician her tricks. – Mm-hmm. Oh, wait, where are you– where are you going? – My office! I have a day’s work ahead. – Oh, nonsense. You can’t leave now. Not when we’re about to get to the most important part. – What’s more important than procuring a necklace from police lockup? I got it. You have it. – I want us to inspect this masterpiece together. Come on. Take a seat.

[Suspenseful music] – I know you’re not sure where you stand with your mom and curtis. But whatever happens you, and I, trina, we have forged our own relationship. I’m here. If you need to talk about anything– – even if I want to talk about spencer? – I said, anything. – Ok. – And whatever you say is going to stay between you and me. And I promise, I will always be honest with you. – Thanks. I appreciate that. – And in my honest opinion, if spencer cassadine’s life is going to remain so damn dramatic, maybe it’s time for you to exit stage left. – (Laughing) stop it.

[Doorbell rings] – (Laughing) oh, what is this? – Josslyn? Hi. – Hi. Um, you just missed cam. – Uh, ok. Well, I guess I’ll see him at his party. How about you? How are you doing? – Oh, you know. I’m having a lot of trouble about cam leaving. – Yes. Well, I’m going to miss him, too, but I’m also really proud of him. – I know. So am I. I mean, to play soccer at stanford– it’s huge, and it’s about time one of his dreams came true. – You were his first love. – And I broke his heart. – Aw. – What if he never forgives me? I mean, he says that we’re friends forever, but– – sweetheart, he’s hurt right now, and he feels alone. – Because of me. – Josslyn, you did what you had to do. You did. And cameron has to accept that, no matter how painful it is. He’s just going to need a little time. He’ll remember who really cares about him. – Grandmother, the mayor, may be on the up and up. But I’m not willing to wait around and find out.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: It’s a black diamond, just like spencer’s heart. Guess he really does want to marry you.

Sheila: He does. He wants to marry me. I– I can’t believe this is happening.

Bill: Any update?

Chen: There’s been no movement. Sheila’s still at sharpe’S.

Ridge: I’m hoping your girlfriend’s gonna make an honest man out of you.

Bill: Can it, dressmaker.

I’m putting on the performance

of a lifetime over here.

Ridge: Okay. Yeah, well, she’s buying it.

Bill: She better be

buying it because I can’t

stand another night with that

woman. In fact, I can’t stand

another moment with that

whack job.

Ridge: It’s all right. Hang in there. It’s almost over.

[ Bill sighing ]

Thomas: It’s still weird seeing me here, huh?

Hope: Yeah, but also, not that weird, if that makes sense.

Thomas: Yeah, it does. It’s like we fell right back into a groove. No time lost.

Hope: I’ll admit, I had my doubts about us being able to work together after everything we’ve been through, but.

Thomas: Yeah, but you were willing to give me another chance.

Hope: Well, I’ve seen the hard work you’ve put into it. I mean, the apologies you’ve made, the behavior that backs it up and yeah, I am glad you’re back on hope to the future, but that’s actually um, not what I came here to talk to you about. I, um, I needed to talk to you about something else.

Thomas: I think I know what you’re thinking. The adjustments made to the halter. Honestly, I think that–

Hope: No, thomas. The adjustments were great. They were fine. You actually read my mind, like you always do. No, this is um… look, I know you and steffy had some sort of conversation about uh…

Thomas: About back when you said that I was hot.

Hope: Sure, yeah, uh… I just wanna make sure that going forward that it’s–

Thomas: Hey, don’t even think about it. Look, sometimes people say things. They think they’re talking in confidence and honestly, it’s not that big of a deal. I completely understand that us working together is nothing more than us creating this amazing, wonderful line together and that’s it. And, we’ve always worked well together. I do remember it really well.

Douglas: Dad’s the best.

[Applause]

Thomas: You were right. Look at– look at the audience’s reaction. They’re loving it. We’re an incredible team. We have a son together and we have this line together and I promise I will not do anything to ever make things weird between us again.

Chen: Sheila being at sharpe’s this long could prove problematic.

Ridge: I don’t think so. I think whatever guilt she’s feeling about her little affair with deacon is gonna drive her right back into bill’s arms.

Chen: Bill, you’re the resident sheila expert.

Ridge: Do you ever feel like some of the feelings he’s pretending to have, that maybe their real? ‘Cause–

Bill: No, this is great.

I gotta listen to jokes from

a grown man who’s wearing

a samurai bun.

Ridge: I’m just messing with you. No hair jokes. Come on. I’ve been stuck in here with– I’ve been stuck in here and the only fun I have is making fun of you, so.

Bill: I’m glad I can

provide some entertainment

for you clowns.

Ridge: See? You’re providing something. Thank you. Can you please get back to work?

Bill: Don’t worry about it. I’ll be laser focused. When sheila gets back here, I’ll slip that rock on her finger and get her to confess to first degree murder.

Sheila: I never, in a million years, expected bill to propose to me. He’s just… he’s more than I ever thought he could be. He’s kind and generous.

Deacon: Generous? Sheila, I think if you look a little deeper in that ring box, you’re gonna find a nice, shiny pre-nup.

Sheila: No. He says he doesn’t one.

Deacon: What? You gotta be kidding me. This is california. He’s not just gonna risk half his fortune.

Sheila: He says it’s not necessary. That he has everything he needs and that that’s me. Deacon, I just– I can’t believe this. I am going to be free and I’m gonna be filthy rich.

Deacon: What’s the matter?

Sheila: It’s just that, I really have to wonder. Is this really bill spencer? Some people have minor joint pain plus stomach problems.

Hope: These are a real departure from the last campaign.

Thomas: Well, it’s kinda the evolution I’m talking about. You know, your thoughts, your feelings and your outlook on life, it changes and your line should reflect that.

Hope: Well, I can’t wait.

Thomas: Oh, uh, check out this little change that zende made down here.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. I love that. I would have never thought of that, the shoe.

Thomas: Zende and I have been working really well together. Honestly, I’m just– I’m just excited that you are stoked about the line and working together on it.

Hope: Yeah, I know. Feels good.

Thomas: And what about liam? Everything okay with him? Look, I don’t ever want to put any kind of stress on your marriage.

Hope: I appreciate that, thomas. I really do, but there’s nothing to worry about. Liam and I, we’re fine.

Chen: Sheila’s still at sharpe’S.

Bill: What the hell is

taking her so long?

Ridge: All right, take a breath.

Bill: Don’t tell me

to take a breath!

I’ve been at this for months.

It’s driving me crazy.

Ridge: To be fair, you were crazy before this. Only now, we can use it to our advantage.

Bill: I don’t see you

jumping over here to take

my place.

Ridge: Hey, we all have parts to play and the part you’re playing… honestly, it can’t be played by anyone else, so let’s finish this. Put sheila behind bars so our family can be safe, all right?

Deacon: What do you mean, “is this really bill?”

Sheila: It seems so amazing, doesn’t it? Him proposing to me, no pre-nup? Professing his love?

Deacon: Yeah, it’s amazing, definitely. I mean, are you sure, really sure, this is the real deal?

Sheila: It sure feels that way.

Deacon: I guess passion and connection can’t compete with freedom and the good life.

Sheila: I care for you, deacon.

Deacon: I know. Listen. Bill came in, swept you off your feet.

Sheila: Can you even imagine me, mrs. Bill spencer?

Deacon: This is everything you’ve ever wanted. Why question it?

Sheila: I don’t know, I just… I hope he hasn’t been compromised some how.

Deacon: I– I mean, I guess it’s possible, but don’t sell yourself short. You came into his world, you turned it upside down. Sheila, you are intoxicating. I know that first hand.

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: It’s just with– with bill, there’s something that’s just missing.

Deacon: Like a brain? Conscience? Maybe a soul?

Sheila: You know, bill can seem so far away. Deacon, he can look right at me and I don’t know what he’s thinking.

Deacon: Look, did I hear correctly? That the prince of darkness actually wants to marry you without a pre-nup? Sheila, that should tell you everything that bill’s thinking. Diabetes can serve up a lot of questions,

Thomas: I– I love this fabric, you know? It holds–

Hope and thomas: The pattern so nicely.

Hope: I agree, I agree.

Thomas: It’s edgy, but soft. And I was going for strong and refined.

Hope: And it is elegant, yet sexy, which is walking that line that I want us to walk. It’s exactly what I want for the collection.

Thomas: I know.

Hope: Yeah, you get it.

Thomas: I do. We make a good team.

Hope: Oh, gosh. It’s just– you look so beautiful. I am so excited about this– this upcoming line. I mean.. thomas, I am… I’m really happy you’re back.

Thomas: Me too.

Deacon: Look, I don’t like spencer and I probably never will, but you can’t argue the size of that rock. Don’t overthink this. If the guy makes you happy, then that’s where you should be.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: Uh, it’s bill.

Deacon: Speak of the devil, literally. Go ahead, take it.

Sheila: Hi, bill.

Bill: You okay? I thought you’d be home by now.

Sheila: I just, uh, had a lot to process. I’ve got a lot to think about.

Bill: Good things, I hope.

Sheila: Yes. Everything that you’ve done for me, I… I’m speechless. I don’t know what to say.

Bill: Sure you do. Just get home so we can plan our future together.

Sheila: I’ll be home shortly. I promise.

Bill: I love you.

Sheila: I love you too.

[ Bill sighing ]

Bill: Hey.

Ridge: Can you take it easy with the I love yous please?

Bill: Why don’t you relax,

all right? Sometimes, using

a lot of cheese is the best

way to catch a rat.

Ridge: Can you please just focus? She’s gonna be home soon.

Bill: Oh, I am more than ready for this nightmare to end. Our families are going to be safe. Sheila carter is going down today.

Sheila: Bill wants me to come home. He says we have a future to plan.

Deacon: Invite me to the wedding.

Sheila: Huh?

Deacon: You’re still freaked out.

Sheila: I just– it’s not that I’m freaked out, it’s just not what I was expecting.

Deacon: Believe me, I didn’t expect spencer to propose to you either.

Sheila: So, what are you saying? Are you saying that I shouldn’t trust him?

Deacon: That’s not what I said. Come here. Come here. You and I had some amazing times together and I’ll never forget you. Now, you gotta go. Go make your future. Go. I’m steve.

Ridge: How many candles are you lighting? You’re gonna burn down the place.

Bill: Relax, grandma.

I’m setting the mood.

Ridge: What about the rose petals? You gonna do that?

Bill: Yeah, yeah.

Don’t rush me.

Chen: Sheila’s entering the grounds.

Ridge: She’s coming up the driveway.

Bill: It’s showtime.

Ridge: All right. We’ve got your back.

[ Car approaching ]

[ Car door slamming ]

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Sheila: Is this all for me?

Bill: This and more.

Sheila: It’s beautiful.

Bill: I’ve been anxiously waiting for you to get home. There’s so much ahead of us.

Sheila: Like planning

our future.

Bill: Exactly like that.

Sheila: I’m sorry. My… my head is just spinning right now.

Bill: Well, slow it down. I love you. Nothing’s changed.

Sheila: Oh, no. It’s marriage. That’S… that’s commitment, making me your wife.

Bill: We’ve been on this crazy ridge together, haven’t we? I mean, who would’ve ever thought bill spencer and sheila carter?

Sheila: Absolutely no one.

Bill: Absolutely no one and that’s– that’s the beauty of it. We both tried our hands unsuccessfully at love and why? Because we chose the wrong people. Eric could never give you what I can. Brooke, katie– they never loved me for me. They tried to change me, but not you.

Sheila: No, I never would.

Bill: No. I need this. There has never been anything more important to me in my life. I’ve burned every bridge for you and I would do it all again. That’s how much this means to me. I wanna give you the life you deserve, but I can’t do that if you keep holding back. We can’t have any more walls. We can’t have any more secrets. I mean, look at you.

You’re doing it now.

You’ve gotta let go. Say yes. Say you’ll be my wife.

Let me change your life.

Sheila: You know, I’ve fantasized about this moment my whole life. Wanting someone to love me and cherish me and hold on to me and not want to let go, but I’ve been abandoned and left behind most of my life, so I really gave up hope. And now, here you are. One fateful night on a beach together. Two outcasts that need love.

But bill, you are everything

that I ever dreamed of, everything that I hoped for. A man that truly loves me. A man that I can trust.

Bill: Then say yes.

Sheila: I want to believe everything that you said, I really do, but I’ve learned a lot in life. And when things seem too good to be true, they are. So, what’s really happening here? Are you playing me for a fool, bill? Are you?

[ Gasps ] There they are!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Victor! Nikki! Over here! Over here!

Let me get a picture!

Nikki: Hello!

Mr. Newman!

Nikki: Thank you. Thank you for coming out to celebrate genoa city’s bicentennial. It’s wonderful to see so many old friends.

Victor, are you excited for the gala?

Victor: Oh, I can’t stand it. It’s gonna be a hell of a party.

[ Laughter ] Alright? Okay, my sweetheart, shall we go?

Nikki: Yes.

Victor: Thank you for coming.

Nikki: We’ll see you later.

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Who else is gonna be here?! Just a little bit of tea! Just a little something!

One more question!

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Nikki: [ Sighs ] I still have a few things to finish up before the guests arrive. And you have to go over your speech for later. You can do it right at the bar. I have been told that it is well stocked with your favorite tequila.

Victor: Baby, I am so impressed. How did you pull this off?

Nikki: Believe me, I had plenty of help. Feels good to throw a big party again, though, doesn’t it?

Victor: I’m looking forward to celebrate with the entire town.

Nikki: Mm.

Victor: And I have a feeling this will be one of the most memorable evenings in genoa city history.

Nikki: I just hope that people will manage to set aside their petty differences for one night.

Victor: Oh, yeah. They will. For about 10 minutes. And then, my dear, all hell will break loose.

Nikki: Don’t say that.

Victor: No, I was just kidding.

Tucker: Guess who it is.

Ashley: I have no idea.

Tucker: It’s me, tucker.

Ashley: [ Gasps ] Wow!

Tucker: God, you look absolutely stunning.

Ashley: Thanks. What are you doing here?

Tucker: Your chariot awaits.

Ashley: Oh, you mean your old pickup.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. And I can’t wait to hear what the valet at the athletic club has to say about it. Would you care to be there to hear it for yourself?

Ashley: What are you getting at?

Tucker: You’re not too perceptive, are you?

Ashley: Oh, I see. You’re asking me on a date.

[ Laughing ] Oh. Right.

Tucker: Unless you’ve got plans for tonight?

Ashley: I do have plans. I’m going to the gala…

Tucker: Hmm.

Ashley: …By myself.

Tucker: Well, it’d be a lot more fun if you went by yourself with me.

Ashley: Mm…

Abby: Amanda. Uh…

[ Chuckles nervously ] Hi. It’s so good to see you.

Amanda: You look surprised. Did you forget I was here for the arbitration?

Abby: No, it’s just, um, well, I haven’t seen you since —

Amanda: Since I walked in on you and devon half-naked in my living room?

Abby: Is there any way that we could talk? I mean, do you have a minute?

Amanda: I really need to get going.

Abby: Amanda, please. Um, look, there’s something that I’ve been wanting to say to you, and I just — I haven’t had the chance.

Amanda: Like what?

Abby: I’m sorry.

Amanda: [ Scoffs ]

Nate: Everything alright?

Devon: Yeah, I’m fine.

Nate: So, uh, how’s the arbitration going?

Devon: You don’t need to act like you care.

Nate: Come on, devon. I care.

Devon: No, you don’T. You don’t care. This is your way of dealing with your guilt.

Nate: Yes, I still have some guilt. That is true. But I’m also concerned.

[ Sighs ] Look, I hate seeing you and lily at each other’s throats like this. And, honestly, I thought you would have figured things out by now.

Devon: Yeah, I thought we would, too, but we didn’T.

Nate: It’s not too late. You can still turn things around.

Jill: You know, I really thought that my decision not to take chancellor-winters public would make all the difference, that devon would just drop the lawsuit then and there. And after that, let the healing begin.

Lily: No, he didn’t even consider it. He just rejected it.

Jill: Yeah, I know. But I haven’t given up hope yet. You know, maybe once he gets a chance to sit with the idea for a while, he’ll come around.

Lily: Yeah, well, look, you did take me by surprise, too. I mean, you didn’t even say why you changed your mind about the ipo and you want devon to stay at the company.

Jill: Didn’t I?

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Okay, what are you not telling us?

Jill: [ Clicks tongue ] (Sniffs)

[ Door opens ]

Sally: I am so glad you’re here. I am starting to get nervous.

Nick: [ Chuckles ] You? Nervous?

Sally: Well, I’ve just never been to a masked ball before.

Nick: It’s great. Think of it as, like, trick or treating for adults, and instead of little chocolate candies, you’re gonna get champagne and finger foods. I thought you were excited.

Sally: I was. But now I can hear all the traffic outside and I can see the lights at the athletic club and — this is a really big deal.

Nick: Yeah, it is. My mom’s in charge. Nikki newman doesn’t throw small parties.

Sally: Right. Yes. And that sounds amazing, and I — [ Sighs ] I want to go. I do. It’s just, I’m in my second trimester now, and… I’m starting to show.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: You are?

Sally: Kind of, yes. I just tried on my dress, which I had fitted just a month ago. You can see my baby bump.

Nick: I bet it looks great.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I just don’t want my appearance to be the topic of conversation tonight. People are gonna notice and they’re gonna talk about it and then they’re gonna talk about us and maybe adam and the paternity issues. When does it stop?

Nick: Nobody’s gonna do that, alright? You’re not gonna walk in and everybody’s gonna go, “that woman must be pregnant.” There’s gonna too much going on. In fact, they’re gonna be whipping their heads back and forth, going, “who is that beautiful woman?”

Sally: Well, thank you. I feel a little better. How do you always know the right thing to say?

Nick: I mean, I saved the best part for last.

Sally: What is that?

Nick: I didn’t tell you what I really think.

Sally: And that is…?

Nick: I think this baby bump…

Sally: [ Laughs ]

Nick: …Makes you sexy as hell.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I’m not worried about adam making inroads with sally, if you’re asking if I’m jealous. But I am worried that he’s going to cause sally a bunch of stress that she and the baby just don’t need.

Victoria: Well, just do your best to protect her. Make sure you keep your guard up.

Nick: I will. I would tell you to do the same, but I know your guard is always up when it comes to adam. And just so you know, adam did confirm dad’s plan.

Victoria: And what plan is that?

Nick: Once newman enterprises acquires mccall unlimited, adam’s gonna be placed in charge.

Victoria: That is never gonna happen.

Nick: Look, vick, I know fighting with dad is like a newman family staple, but i really think you should consider staying out of this one. Dad wants to bring adam closer to the family, and you know how he is. He’s not gonna quit until he gets what he wants.

Victoria: Well, then I guess he’s just gonna have to find another way to get what he wants.

Nick: By letting adam run mccall, it keeps him out of our business and lets him focus on something else.

Victoria: But then adam wins.

Nick: Who cares, vick? Let him, if it keeps him out of our hair.

Victoria: My plan is to fold mccall into newman, and I’m not gonna let dad and adam derail that.

Nick: Newman doesn’t need mccall. We’ve made a bunch of great acquisitions. The company is doing great. Let’s just focus on what we have. Let adam and dad go off and do whatever they want away from us.

Victoria: Look, nicholas, i understand where you’re caution is coming from, but I am not gonna pass on this phenomenal opportunity so that dad can use mccall to lure adam back into the family, which is only gonna make him more beholden to dad, like some emotional hostage. It’s bad business. It’s miserable parenting. You and I — we’ve seen this movie before. We know that it ends in disaster for both of them.

Nick: So, now you’re worried about adam’s emotional well-being?

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Adam: Ohh. Taking a more casual approach to the night’s festivities?

Victoria: Well, don’t you look dapper.

Adam: Oh, well, thank you so much. Should be quite a party.

Victoria: I hope so. We could use the night out to blow off some steam. We’ve been very, very busy at newman. I assume that you’ve been busy, too…

Adam: Mm.

Victoria: …Whatever it is you’re doing these days.

Adam: [ Laughs ] Um…biding my time.

Victoria: Oh, right. That’s a pretty phrase for “unemployed,” isn’t it?

Adam: Eh, it might be, but I’m waiting on something very interesting.

Victoria: Really? I wonder what that could be. I really hope that you don’t have your heart set on mccall unlimited.

Adam: Why? You think that devon’s gonna buy it?

Victoria: No. No, we have our sights set on the company. It’s gonna be newman property soon.

Adam: Good. I am glad to hear it.

Victoria: I don’t know why. Because even if newman does acquire it, you definitely will not be the one in charge.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] I was just about to say the exact same thing to you.

Devon: Are you, like, an expert mediator now? ‘Cause it seems to be all you’re trying to do these days.

Nate: Come on, devon. I never claimed to be an expert. But I do have something I’d like to say, and I’d appreciate it if you’d listen.

Devon: Okay. Let’s hear what you have to say.

Nate: I’d like to tell you that the highlight of my brief, tumultuous time at chancellor winters was watching you and lily work together. Man, your bond was so strong and full of love. You don’t see that between brothers and sisters these days. Look, I am sorry for my role in your conflict. I betrayed you and lily. And I know you don’t want me to say neil’s name around you.

Devon: Yeah, I meant that.

Nate: Fine. Think of him. Think of how he would feel about this rift. Would he want to help rebuild your relationship with lily? Well, he’s not here. So, if there’s anything I can do to help, I would love to know. That is the least I owe you and lily.

Devon: Okay, well, there’s absolutely nothing you can do. So, thanks.

[ Keys jangle ]

[ Door closes ]

Abby: This is a long time coming, and I am so sorry for the pain that I caused you. Look, I understand that a betrayal is a betrayal and it doesn’t matter that it wasn’t intentional and we never meant for this to happen. It was just — it came out of emotion, and I — we don’t even know where it came from.

Amanda: Okay, you can stop. I don’t need to hear this. I really don’t care.

Abby: I doubt that.

Amanda: Well, it’s true. But you’re right. “Not caring” — it didn’t happen overnight. It took time. I replayed that day over and over, you scrambling to find your shirt, devon stammering to explain. I was hurt, I was angry, but i could not — i did not let it dictate my life. I have too much to focus on. My job, my family. My mom needs my love and support back home. So, I have so much going on that I don’t have time to worry about you and devon.

Abby: I’m sure that’s true. But why did you come back here then? You had to have known that you were gonna go head-to-head with devon. I mean, are you trying to punish him?

Amanda: No, no, it is not like that at all.

Abby: Amanda, please listen to me. Devon is struggling to keep his connection with neil, and it is vital that he keeps that connection — and his company. Please don’t punish him for a mistake that he and I both made.

Jack: Please tell me you are not thinking of bringing tucker to this party tonight.

Ashley: It’s really none of your business, jack.

Jack: It is genoa city’s bicentennial celebration. For a good number of those years, the abbotts have been a respected and admired family in this community. This is an important night for us, ash. And you’re bringing him?

Tucker: Uh, I understand your concerns, jack, but I have had all my shots and I’m housebroken, mostly.

Jack: This is outrageous.

Ashley: Ugh, so predictable, jack, that you would have a problem with me going to this gala with tucker. Not that I’ve agreed to go to this gala with you.

Jack: It is a slap in the face for all the abbotts who have come before us.

Ashley: Would you just give it a rest? I sincerely doubt that our ancestors have an issue with me going to the gala with this miscreant.

Jack: When are you gonna get it through your head you don’t have to give this man another moment of your attention?

Ashley: It’s a date.

Tucker: Fantastic.

Jack: You should know something. Mamie is here. She’s going to be at the gala. When you see her, don’t have him with you. I’d like it to be a pleasant homecoming for her.

Ashley: I can’t wait.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Tucker: Hey, kyle. And summer. Wow. You look lovely.

Summer: Uh, thank you?

Tucker: See ya.

[ Door closes ]

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Uh, what did we miss?

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Abby: You know how much devon loved neil and how much hamilton-winters means to him. And fighting with lily and jill — it’s just tragic.

Amanda: Yeah, it most definitely is.

Abby: And part of me feels like, deep down, you know how wrong this is and that maybe there’s a way that you can help resolve this, a way that could work out for everyone.

Amanda: It never works out for everyone, abby. Lily reached out to me and hired me to win this case. That is what I am obligated to do. It’s nothing personal, abby. I’m not seeking revenge. I wouldn’t do that. I’m a lawyer — and a damn good one. I don’t waste my time on cases I can’t win.

Abby: Amanda —

Amanda: I’m through here. Your little plea on devon’s behalf, it’s touching, but why don’t you just let the grown-ups figure this out? I have no interest in speaking to you about this or anything else ever again.

Abby: [ Sighs heavily ]

Lily: I mean, jill, I —

[ Sighs ] I don’t understand. You seemed so determined to take the company public. You ignored all of devon’s protests, and then you just change your mind and you want to keep it private?

Jill: Yeah, but, lily, you need to leave room for yourself to maneuver. You can’t lock yourself into a position. A strong leader has to be able to change her mind.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, usually when a legal battle starts, you know, but we were winning the case and you still just want to reverse the course?

Jill: Well, that is very true. Okay. But the arbitration brought to light just how contentious things were between you and devon. And, ohh, I hated that.

Lily: And that’s what changed your perspective.

Jill: [ Sighs ] Ah, I got to get going to get ready for the gala.

Lily: [ Scoffs ]

Jill: I will see you at the club, sweetie.

Lily: Okay, wait. Jill, I’m sorry. I need to understand. What made you change your mind today?

Jill: There are a lot of old friends in town for the celebration, and I spoke to one of them. And he reminded me what katherine would want and how she would feel about devon’s role in the company. So, I got some very sage advice

and an alternative.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Michael: Good evening, newmans! How are we tonight?

Nikki: Hey, michael.

Michael: Working hard, I see.

Victor: Well, I’ll be damned. Mr. Michael baldwin. Well, my beautiful wife is working. I am celebrating.

Michael: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: Well, michael is on the beverage committee, so you have him to thank for your celebrating.

Victor: Thank you, old boy.

Michael: I aim to please.

Victor: Where’s your better half?

Michael: Ohh. Lauren was not satisfied with looking merely spectacular. She is striving for perfection on this big occasion.

Nikki: Ah, well, I am certain she will succeed. So, is everything good to go?

Michael: So far. I’ve checked with the catering. Things are moving ahead as planned. It is gonna be a marvelous night. I am so excited about revealing the lounge and our little surprise.

Nikki: Yes.

Victor: It will be spectacular. I promise you.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Hey, I don’t know what you heard about the mccall acquisition, but, uh, regardless, it’s not gonna end well for you. You’re not gonna control tucker’s company.

Victoria: [ Breathes deeply ] Okay, let me just try to follow your logic for a minute. Newman enterprises is going to acquire mccall unlimited. Oh, that’s right. I’m in charge of newman. Therefore, I’m not in charge of mccall. I’m sorry, but there seem to be some flaws in your argument.

Adam: No, I think the flaw’s in your premise — that you actually control newman.

Victoria: You know, I’m aware of dad’s offer to you to be in control of mccall, but you do realize that it was just a gesture, right? It’s like when a girl can’t get a date to the prom and her cousin has to step in and help her out of pity.

Adam: Wait. I’m the teenage girl who can’t get a date in that scenario? Is that what you’re saying?

Victoria: There is no way in hell I’m gonna stand by and watch while dad gives away a $1-billion company so his poor little baby boy can get a pat on the back.

Adam: Has it ever occurred to you that I am qualified to run that company?

Victoria: No, it hasn’t occurred to me.

Adam: Well, I am. And you are deluded if you think victor isn’t going to see his plan through.

Victoria: And you are deluded if you think that dad is gonna help you this time.

Adam: Do you know what your problem is, victoria?

Victoria: Please tell me.

Adam: You overestimate your own abilities so badly that you are oblivious to other people’s strengths. It’s probably one of the reasons dad’s gonna put me in charge of mccall — ’cause you don’t know what you’re doing.

Nate: Hey. Hey. You are way out of line, adam. (Vo) nature valley has helped restore access to national park trails

Kyle: I don’t understand. Why was ashley with tucker mccall?

Jack: You really want to know?

Kyle: Actually, no. I think I’m going to stay out of it.

Summer: I think that that is a great choice. Let’s just focus on this party and the things that matter.

Diane: Like the fact that you two look amazing.

Summer: Thank you, diane.

Jack: You look pretty amazing yourself.

Diane: Mm! It’s going to be a wonderful night.

Kyle: Hey, where’s traci? She wasn’t upstairs.

Jack: She and mamie are gonna meet us at the club. But while we have the two of you alone, there’s something we’d like to run by you.

Kyle: What’s that?

Jack: Well, you know our news.

Summer: Yes. The two of you are getting married. Congratulations again.

Kyle: And we wish you all the happiness in the world.

Diane: Thank you, kyle.

Jack: Yes. Thank you. That’s very thoughtful.

Diane: And with that in mind, we’d like to announce our engagement tonight.

Summer: [ Inhales sharply ] Tonight?

Kyle: At the gala?

Jack: We want all of genoa city to know.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Abby: Hi.

Devon: Hey, pretty lady.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: How you doing? One more, please.

Abby: Mm. How’d today go?

Devon: Um… [ Chuckles ] The arbitration did not go well.

Abby: Okay, but, I mean, it’s not over yet. There’s still a chance things could turn around.

Devon: Yeah. Maybe. But I didn’t keep my cool the way I wanted to, and i definitely let amanda get to me. And now christine thinks that our argument is not landing.

Abby: Well, it’s not over yet. You have to remember that.

Devon: Do you want to hear the biggest shock of the day?

Abby: Tell me.

Devon: So, jill shows up and interrupts the whole thing and asks to speak with me and lily in private.

Abby: Sounds dramatic.

Devon: Right? Then she tells us that she’s prepared to kill the whole idea of the ipo and keep the company private.

Abby: She said that?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Abby: That’s amazing. I mean, I can’t believe it.

Devon: I can’t, either. I’m still trying to process it.

Abby: But this is good, isn’t it? I mean, this could change everything, right?

Victoria: You don’t have to worry about my brother, nate. He’s harmless.

Nate: I didn’t care for what he was saying.

Victoria: Well, it’s alright because nobody listens to him anyway. I can handle him. It’s fine.

Nate: I know you can. I just felt he needed to be called out for his behavior.

Adam: This is…interesting.

Victoria: What is?

Adam: Well, nate either feels very strongly about the mccall acquisition or he feels very strongly about defending his boss.

Nate: Hmm. Why can’t it be both?

Victoria: He’s the head of newman media. He should be concerned about both.

Adam: Well, yeah, but, i mean, so much passion? I always took you for a level-headed guy. But it’s good you two are on the same page. That’s really good. Maybe we could talk about this later at the gala.

[ Fingers snap ] Are you going?

Victoria: You know I am.

Adam: Is elena going, or are you two going together as, like, a work thing?

Nate: Elena is obviously going.

Adam: Obviously, she’s going.

Victoria: You know, adam, i don’t know what you’re trying to stir up right now, but playtime is over.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: I have to get ready.

Nate: I’ll walk you out.

Adam: Wait, nate, you forgot to order actual coffee. Save me a dance!

Sharon: Dare I ask what that was about?

Adam: Uh, you would probably not be as entertained as I was.

Sharon: Oh. Well, then I’m not sorry i missed it.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Sharon, wait a second. Um…who are you going to the gala with?

Sharon: Uh, me, myself and I, and I’m really looking forward to it.

Adam: Well, that’s great. Because I have an idea.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nikki: Ah. I am done. Everything is set.

Michael: Whoo-hoo!

Nikki: I’m just going to enjoy the rest of the evening. The guests will be arriving any minute. So…

Victor: What, my baby?

Nikki: …From this moment on…

Victor: Yes?

Nikki: …Your only focus is to celebrate genoa city with all of our friends.

Victor: Okay.

Michael: Hear, hear. Now, I suggest we go inspect the lounge to make sure it’s ready.

Nikki: Oh, good idea.

Michael: Yeah.

Victor: Okay.

Nikki: Darling, come with us, please, and let the party begin!

Victor: Yes!

Tucker! Tucker! Ashley!

Ashley abbott! Ashley abbott, are you and tucker mccall a couple again?

Ashley: Now, you know you’re just gonna write whatever you want to write anyway. I’m here to celebrate 200 years of genoa city.

[ Light laughter ]

Tucker: And [Clears throat] I’m just the chauffeur, but i definitely have the hots for her.

[ Laughter ]

Ashley: You’re too much.

Tucker: You love it.

Ashley: Well, right. Bye.

Ashley, over here, over here, over here!

Devon: If jill would have said this weeks ago, then maybe we could have worked something out. But I just — thank you.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I don’t see how keeping the company private is gonna do any good ’cause I don’t know how I’d ever be able to trust them to keep their word.

Abby: But it has to give you some hope that maybe you can work things out, especially with lily?

Devon: Esp– no, not especially with lilly. She’s the one who’s gone after me the most in all this. And then she went and hired amanda.

Abby: Oh. Speaking of amanda, um, I ran into her tonight.

Devon: What happened?

Abby: We talked, and, um… I mean, she was very calm. She never raised her voice or anything. I mean, I wouldn’t blame her if she hated me, but, um, she didn’t let me have it or anything like that.

Devon: That’s good.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: That’s one bright spot in this day.

Abby: Well, there is one more bright spot — because the gala is tonight.

Devon: Oh, gosh. Yeah. I don’t — I don’t feel like going to that. I just want to stay home and have a peaceful night.

Abby: Oh, come on. You have to go. It’s very important.

Devon: Why? What’s important?

Abby: Well, just to get your mind off of things just for a few hours.

Devon: That’s not — that’s not gonna happen.

Abby: Okay. [ Sighs ] Look, I wasn’t supposed to say anything, but there is something very special happening tonight.

Devon: What do you mean, special? You gonna give me a hint?

Abby: You just — you have to trust me. You’re gonna want to be there.

Sally: I could stay like this forever. But we can’T.

Nick: Mm.

Sally: We have to get ready for the party of the year.

Nick: Well, you sound a lot less nervous. Does that mean we’re going?

Sally: Yes, we are going. You calmed my nerves. Good job. You reminded me that with you on my side, there’s nothing that can bring me down.

Adam: I, uh — I was gonna go solo. But, I mean, why don’t we go together, sharon?

Sharon: You want to go with me?

Adam: It would be nice to go with one of the few people in this town whose company i actually enjoy.

Sharon: I think you just want someone to complain to when you see sally and nick there together.

Adam: Look, I’ve accepted that they are together. And it does sting a little. But if I was with you, at least I would have fun. What do you say?

Sharon: You know what? I’m in. I could use some arm candy.

Adam: Excellent. Hey, it’s gonna be fun. You made my night. Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Summer: I wasn’t expecting that.

Kyle: Me either. What a surprise. Why are you making the announcement at such a huge party?

Jack: Efficiency. Everyone will be there. We can tell them all in one fell swoop.

Diane: And, besides, we can’t keep it to ourselves much longer. We want the whole world to know.

Summer: Not just a — a little longer, though? Like, 24 hours maybe?

Diane: Summer, we realize there’s going to be some negative reactions, but we are not going to worry about that.

Jack: Are you worried how your mother is going to react?

Summer: Aren’t you? She’s not gonna take this news well.

[ Sighs ] But, you know, after the way she conspired with stark and lied to me about it, I guess i shouldn’t really care about her hurt feelings. You know what? If you two want to shout your engagement from the rooftops, you have every right to do so.

Kyle: I agree. You shouldn’t have to hide your happiness. I say go for it.

Jack: Thank you. And we shall.

Diane: Your support means everything to us.

Summer: Uh, kyle, we promised harrison that we’d read to him before we go.

Kyle: Right. Excuse us. We have to go tuck our boy in.

Jack: Give him our love.

Kyle: We will. And you should go ahead without us. We may be a while.

[ Chuckles ]

Diane: [ Sighs ] Are you ready? It’s going to be a big night.

Jack: Actually, there’s something we have to do first.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Oh!

Ooh, look over there!

Abby abbott!

Aw, come on, abby! Pose for us!

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Yes!

Whoo!

Any comments about tonight’s festivities, devon?

Devon: Uh, absolutely. Absolutely. It’s a big night, and I am very proud to be here representing my grandmother, katherine chancellor, and my father, neil winters, two people that were very loved here in genoa city.

Adam: And as a member of the newman and abbott families, I’m so happy to be here, and we are so excited to celebrate this community.

Devon: Yeah. [ Chuckles ]

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Oh, okay.

Hey, how about a group photo?

Devon: Uh…

Lily: Of course. Absolutely.

Devon: Yeah, let’s do it.

Great.

Devon: Let’s do it.

Jill: [ Sighs ] Everybody just keep smiling.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Jill: Let’s get along just for tonight.

Devon: Yeah. See you in there. Yeah.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Jill: [ Sighs ] Here, sweetie. Alright, don’t let that bother you.

Lily: [ Sighs ]

Jill: I know. I know. Keep that smile plastered on your face. Oh! It’s gonna be one of those nights.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Abby: [ Sighs ] I cannot believe we ran into lily before we even stepped inside — and in front of photographers.

Devon: Yeah. It was bound to happen at some point, so at least we got it out of the way.

Abby: That’s a positive way to look at it.

Devon: Well, I said I was gonna try and enjoy myself, so I’m not gonna let running into her ruin the evening.

Abby: Well, this should help get the party started.

Devon: What’s this? Yeah.

Abby: Thank you so much.

Devon: Thank you very much.

Abby: Cheers.

Devon: Cheers. Mmm.

Abby: Mmm.

Devon: Yeah, no, I think this is gonna be an amazing night, especially when I find out what this surprise is you’re keeping from me.

Abby: You will not be disappointed.

Devon: No?

Abby: Mnh-mnh.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: I can’t believe devon didn’t come back after jill offered to keep chancellor-winters private. I mean, it’s like he doesn’t want a solution. How are you holding up?

Lily: Honestly, I’m fine. I’m not gonna let my brother ruin our evening. And, besides, don’t worry about it. You had a great day with chelsea, so let’s just — let’s celebrate.

Daniel: I like that idea. Let’s celebrate. Let’s get a drink. Um, “cham-pag-nay”?

Lily: Yes, “cham-pag-nay.”

Daniel: “Cham-pag-nay.” Hi. Uh, could I get, uh, two glasses of your finest champagne? When aspen dental told me that my dentures were ready,

Ashley: I just don’t get it, tucker. Why do we have to wear these masks?

Tucker: Because nikki insisted.

Ashley: Right. But, you know…

Tucker: I should be in a clown mask, though, don’t you think?

Ashley: [ Laughs ]

Tucker: You know, the worst part about these masks is that i can’t see your face.

Ashley: Mm.

Tucker: And that’s the only reason I came here — your face.

Ashley: Cheers.

Victor: Well, well, well.

Ashley: Hi.

Victor: Good evening.

Tucker: Good evening, victor. Well, you have impeccable timing.

Victor: I hope I’m interrupting something.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: I have a question for you, ashley. I understand you bought tucker’s debt. Did you do that to piss him off? And yet here you are as his date. Hard to fathom somehow.

Jill: Aww! Eat your hearts out, boys!

Whoo!

Jill: Oh! Nick newman. I guess I have to give up the spotlight now, don’t I? Mwah.

Nick: You look beautiful.

Jill: Well, thank you very much. How are you doing?

Sally: Good.

Nick: Good.

Jill: Oh, good. Well, just keep smiling and giving the vultures what they want. It’s a lot easier that way.

Nick: Yes, ma’am.

Jill: Bye!

Nick: We’ll see you in there.

Oh, anything to say about tonight, nick?

Nick: Uh, sally and I are honored to be here. We both love genoa city and love that it’s our home.

A newman over here!

[ Camera shutters clicking ]

Diane: Is this what you wanted?

Jack: Please allow me to do the honors.

Diane: Okay. Ooh.

[ Sighs ] Jack, I will cherish you and this symbol of your love for the rest of my life.

Jack: I cannot wait to make this announcement to the world. Once everyone knows, we can finally have the happiness we both deserve.

Diane: Aww.

Jeremy: Phyllis! It’s time.

Phyllis: Yeah. How do I look?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Unforgettable. Now, are you ready?

Phyllis: Let’s go. Yeah. Let’s go. It’s time to make things right.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Can’t believe he’s still sleeping. I mean, neither. I mean, with all that commotion, Getting off the ball, checking in the hotel. I thought for sure little man was gonna wake up screaming his head off. Yeah. Well you think that after 285 days at sea you’d be just as happy as we are to be back on Sara Pharma in the US

is your mommy right? Little man? You happy to be home?

Listen, I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta get. Yeah. No, I know. I know you. Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris. How would it help it? Here Paris. Wake up Paris.

And then there were two saw since Kate. Instead, which of you will be my next Guinea pig?

John, I need you to meet me at the airfield right now. I just talked to Hope. I have a possible location on Megan Hathaway.

You seem eng. What are you looking at? False notes on me. Why isn’t it just a page after page of scientific mumbo jumbo? No. What kind of thought provoking is observations of my past. Well, your past is long gone. We need to focus on your future. Our future together. Look, I’ll get rid of that. You don’t need anymore.

No, that’s fine. Fine. Now that I’ve finished it, it’s uh, you know, on the hard drive, won’t forget it, a bit about how I saved your life now, the bit about who I was, what I wanted, who my father is.

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

Your lack of introspection has always been one of your most attractive features. Look, forget the file.

Is that an order? It’s just a suggestion. Knowing how you feel about orders would’ve been counterproductive if made to issue one, right? Because you’re always looking out for me, all in my best interest, given the lengths that I have gone to, to rescue you and protect you. I don’t understand how you could possibly be questioning my motives.

Really. Let me think about that. Um, you order me to kill, to kill, I, I don’t know. I might. I think you have a more sinister agenda. That wasn’t an order, that was also a suggestion, a friendly suggestion. I, I didn’t want you and I to have any distractions. Right? Kind of like a do not disturb, shine, a permanent do not disturb a.

That vial has made you very negative and oppositional.

I was just hoping that we could talk. Oh, well, good. Because there’s something. I would like to talk about, what is it? I’m leaving

as beautiful as Turks and Caicos was. I’m actually really happy to be back home, although I guess we’re not technically home yet. Oh, not unless you have property on the waterfront of Annapolis, Maryland that I don’t know about. No. . I’m pretty sure our boat is about as much waterfront as I can handle.

Mm-hmm. Um, , but actually while we are in the us I was thinking, what if we make a little pit stop? Oh, let me guess. You want to go back to Salem? Mm-hmm. . We can fly out and we can see Sean and my grandparents. I mean, you read Grandma Julie’s last email, she basically threatened us with bodily harm if we didn’t bring him home for his first birthday.

Yeah, I think her exact words were that if I don’t see my great grandson soon, Doug and I will be water skiing to meet you. . Yes. And as much as I would literally love to see that, I think a two hour flight would just be easier for all of us. So what do you say you wanna bring Bill back home and show him what he’s been missing?

It would be really great to see everybody again. Mm-hmm. , and obviously they’d fall all over Bo. Mm-hmm.

But

it’s not gonna be the same without Dr. Evans being there.

Should I flip a coin? Ah, not possible. No currency on this island.

Any mini mining mo catch a doctor. How does the rest of it go? Ah, no matter I’ll improvise. A chief of staff is good for a laugh, but to shrink, we really make you sink. Out goes by o you. Hmm.

So hope’s efforts paid off. Huh? She got here is to give up Megan’s location. Yeah, well, took quite a bit of effort and an assist from the isa, but he was finally able to remember some kind of facility in the Mediterranean where Rolf and Megan first programmed it. Hmm. Better. He remembered Z, an nautical chart on the wall, and he recalled the latitude and longitude markers.

Hope looked up the coordinates. She sent me this.

So what are you thinking? Partner? Megan’s location can be somewhere on this map. After Megan fled Caracas, it’s very possible she hole up in this location.

Ah, Dr. Johnson, welcome back to Len of the Living yet again. Let go of me. Let go. Don’t try to. You’re coming out as the effects of a very strong sedative. Your limbs won’t be fully functioning for some time yet. Ah, I know she’s still sleeping, but we won’t be needing her participation as I’ve determined that today is your lucky day,

Well, not as a case. Maybe what he, what do you mean lucky? I have developed a miraculous new. One that, if not for the irrational influence of politics would be certain to win a Nobel Prize. But so I have no doubt of my genius. I’m afraid I cannot prove its effectiveness without a human trial. Human trial.

Your friend, Kate, first to be the first subject, but she destroyed my initial badge. Megan had no choice but to eliminate.

We both know how much Marlena did for you, for us, actually, and it’s gonna be so strange to go back to Salem without her there. I think it’s gonna be, it’s gonna be more than strange. It’s just, it’s terribly sad. And you’re on Kayla and Kate. Oh my God, it all just seems so unreal. You know, when we were gone for so long, I mean, we missed all the funerals.

I think maybe that’s why I’m having a hard time believing that Dr. Evans is really gone. I never got the chance to say goodbye to her. And I mean, even if I did, I don’t even know what I would’ve said, Sierra. I mean, how do you thank somebody for literally saving your life? You would’ve found the words, babe.

You always do. Yeah. Well, I don’t know if I’m gonna find the words when I see John, your Uncle Steve, your Uncle Roman. I mean, I, I don’t know. I guess we can just tell him how much we cared about Marlena and about Kayla and Kate and just let them know that our hearts go out to.

You know, I had another dream about Dr. Evans last night. I don’t, I don’t like even remember all the details, but I was with her when she was dying and, uh, all I remember is that I was desperately trying to save her life, like, like she saved mine. And it, it really wasn’t a bad dream, I guess it was a good dream because like I said, I, I can’t remember all the details.

I just remember. She opened her eyes,

she smiled at me and uh, I knew she was gonna survive.

Hated waking up from that train. I know you did.

You know, if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have, you wouldn’t have bow.

Well, Marlena saw the man that you are, she saw the person that you really are, and at least she got to meet though, and she got to hold him and she saw how happy we are,

and that was because of her.

Ben? Yeah, I am. I suddenly have this feeling like we’re on, on the boat again, like we’re on the water. It’s, it’s normal. Yeah. Trust me, I don’t feel that great either. And I don’t think we got our, our land legs back yet. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That must be it. It’s just, um, it kinda feels like rocking and swaying and it’s making me really dizzy.

They’re probably just gonna eat something. No, I don’t think that’s what I need. Are you sure? Mm. Because you know this hotel is an amazing restaurant. Mm-hmm. , I’ll just want a room service. They have some amazing seafood. They got these clam cakes and these fried clams that are supposed to be unbelievable.

Was there something I said,

Hey, hi.

How are you feeling?

Not sure what happened. You collapsed. I was really worried. The treatment had caused some kind of permanent damage, but the doctor, um, looked you over and assured me it was just a delayed reaction. He wants to keep an eye on you for a little while, make sure it doesn’t happen again. But really he didn’t think, he didn’t think you had anything to worry about.

You’re okay. That’s good to know.

Thank you for staying. Of course. I stayed. You scared.

You scared me. You were so pale Harris lying there on the floor. I feel better now, obviously. Yeah. Thank God obviously. I, I am a little thirsty. Yeah, of course. Treatment was so hard to watch. I can’t even imagine what it must have been like to actually experience it.

Thanks. But Harris, you came through those co. John and Steve have pinpointed the location of the lab as we speak right now, and then you should get going. I know how important it’s for you to find Megan. No, I’m, I’m not going anywhere.

What do you mean you’re leaving? What are you talking about, Ben, in this hell hole for months. So I’m getting out. You’ve been here for years and that’s why you’re still. . Is that not good enough for you? Couldn’t. It’s a cell, so I gotta get back out there. Out where? Huh? Where are you going? I don’t know, but I’m not gonna find what I’m looking for.

Stuck in here. And what is that? I have given you everything that you could possibly want. That’s just the thing. I don’t know what I want hope. All I know is I have a lot of questions like about who I am, so I just gotta get out there so I can find myself. Such a cliche. You have to find yourself. Do not mock me.

I am not mocking you. But I just think that when people feel that they have to find themselves, that that is just a bit ridiculous, frankly, self indulgent. Not to mention the fact that you hardly have to travel anywhere to know what you want in life. Haven’t you ever heard the expression wherever you go, there you are.

Well, I don’t want to be here. Hey, I just gotta, I gotta get out there, find some place where I can think and breathe. Maybe see the sky. Good.

Just have to leave here so I can figure things out for myself though. I can tell you anything you wanna know. No, you can’t. I’m the only one who can answer these questions, so I’m leaving here. I’m afraid I cannot let you do that.

Are you okay? Well, yeah, I am now. Please the love of God. Don’t mention food again, so, okay. Really. See, I can’t believe this right now. We just traveled the world in a boat. We get back to land and you get seasick. I am not seasick. Well then, what is it? Get a little bug down on the Caribbean or something.

You don’t feel hot. Maybe we should postpone going to Salem. Get you a doctor. No, no, I, I didn’t get a bug. I did not come down with the flu. Huh? Then what’s wrong?

Okay. So, um, I didn’t wanna say anything until I knew I was sure, but about a week ago I realized that I was late.

What are you saying? Yeah, I, I am, I, uh, I think I might be pregnant.

What do you mean? Don’t you wanna find Megan? What if you collapsed again? You just said the doctor said I was gonna be fine. Paris. What you just did, what you’ve been through obviously took a tremendous toll. You were in a lot of pain. Even the doctor wanted to stop, but you insisted she keep going. Okay.

Don’t, don’t, don’t make me out to be some kind of hero, okay? I did it because, I don’t want Megan to get away with it. She brainwashed me. She used me to hurt people. I wanna bring her down as much as you do. Oh, I don’t know about that. I mean, I definitely wanna bring her down, but I didn’t nearly get myself killed in the process.

Well, if it will gimme my life back, it was worth it. And the first time, this is the first time in a, in a long time, I feel like that actually might happen. Have you thought about what you might wanna do with that life? Honestly, I don’t know. Navy’s my life. I mean, I like to get my career back, but considering how I was compromised, I don’t think the feeling would be mutual.

Well, maybe an arrangement could be made. I know you’re close with the ISA director, but I don’t know if even you could pull those strings. I wouldn’t mind trying. I appreciate that. But here’s what I do know.

I’d like to spend more time with you.

So this is the chart that Michaels remember seeing in the room where he was brainwashed. What’s the number of this notable? Map 26 4. It might be too much to hope for, but I betcha. Somewhere on this map is the lab’s location. So all these little dots right here, these indicate islands in the Mediterranean, right?

Yeah. And that island chain contains about 30 islands. 30. Yeah. Man, we gotta narrow that down. Partner. Well, hey, cross reference. These chain of islands with any of D’S properties.

Okay. No. It doesn’t look like Stephano bought any property in this region. It’s not. Couldn’t be that simple. Great. So now we’re looking for a needle in two haystacks. Well, wait a minute. Maybe we can eliminate some of these right off.

All right. This whole group right here, it’d be almost impossible to approach because they’re all surrounded by Rocky Schoz. All right, good to know. All right, we’ll toss those out. What about, what about this group over here still leaves that wherever this lab is, it has to be housed in a fairly large facility.

Most of these islands couldn’t support that. In fact,

there’s only one that has any infrastructure that size. What kind of infrastructure

will that be? A military base.

Megan eliminated her. Are you, are you saying that Yes, Kate is dead and the takeaway is that it’s not a good idea to resist? Well, anything. Now moving right along. After Kate destroyed my initial batch, I went back to the drawing pat and actually improved it so soon. I’m sure you’ll be asking for another dose because this is going to give you quite a refresher.

And what is it that that’s going to refresh? All of you. My serum is a literal fountain of youth. Rev is intended. It’ll turn back the clock. Make you young again, but I don’t want that. Oh, no . Well, you certainly are in the minority. Most people would spend the fortune to go back in time, and as I say, youth is wasted on the young.

What are you planning to do? I just told you I’m going to make you young in Newby. Although you certainly are still very beautiful and desirable, could you, could you just stay on topic? What if that serum doesn’t work? I’m afraid it won’t be pretty, but I have every confidence that won’t be the case I had.

My results were astounding when I tested it on a Guinea pig for actually a spectacular lab rat. I named Skippy, but Megan will only be satisfied when I prove to her that the human subject can survive the I. It’s for five, which I’m sure you do. And once I patents his formula, you like a bigger fortune. So Megan wants to recapture her youth.

Most of us do. With a rare exception of you apparently. Except in Megan’s case, it isn’t nearly vanity. It’s in the hopes of recapturing a lost love. I’m done following your orders. I’m leaving. No, don’t, don’t be happy, Bo. I, I just. That you can’t leave now bra. He’s just finished a new batch of his serum.

Don’t you see this serum is going to give us back all of those years that were stolen from us all of the years that we were apart. Don’t you want a chance to live the life that we, we were meant to live, that we would’ve lived if my mother hadn’t interfered and kept us apart? No, no. There’s. I am not going back to that.

I have to look forward to my future with me. Here with me. You’re not going to decide that for me. You in great. Megan. Megan. Look, I really appreciate everything you’ve done for me, for what you’re asking of me. I’m sorry. Sorry. I cannot give,

of course. I understand.

What about you? Just stay tonight and we can have one last dinner and then we can save a property pie. You can leave in the morning. No. Best for both of us. If I leave now,

well then I’m afraid I do have one last order for you,

so be a man about it.

There’s a military base on the island. Hmm, let me think about this. Not a bad place to look for a lab considering Harris was ex-Navy. So what do you think might have been stationed there? Well, maybe at one time. Place is deserted now. Yeah, it’s abandoned for how long? Let’s see.

Well, we’re definitely active in the fifties. Oh. As a research facility. We just found our needle in the haystack. I’m gonna talk to the pilot and see if we can put this plane down. Outta the way runway on Island 26th. If Hathaway is there, we need to be a little bit of surprise cause we don’t know what the hell we’re gonna walk into.

Megan is hoping to recapture a lost love more than just hoping. She is determined. But the only love of hers I know about is my brother Bo, and he’s dead.

Oh my God. Is Paul alive? Is that it? Is? Is he the one that was in that chamber? Would you think that just because, who else would Megan want to revive? I mean, she already said it wasn’t Stefano. I mean, it would have to be somebody that she would move heaven and earth to bring back. Oh my dear Dr. Johnson, you do have a vile imagination.

Oh God.

Okay. What’s in there this time? A little insurance. I cannot let you walk out that door. I am not gonna let you inject me with that fountain of you serum. Oh, that’s not what that is. I’ve told you that Ralph needs to test that still. This is just a. Yeah, well, not gonna happen. I just thought you would be a little bit more pliable for all.

That’s all. Don’t do this. Why are you doing this? You see? He’s just going to give you a slight attitude adjustment, and when he’s done, you and I will be on the same page. Let’s say you’ll have realized what we had and what we can still. No, don’t want any part of it. You will. You will. When he is finished, you’ll want me as much as I want you.

You know, that year we were together mean, we just wasted so much of it. We were acting like we were a couple and we were just, just playing a big game. But now that I’ve been,

we’ve been given another chance.

I want to, I want to get to know the real you.

I want you to get to know the real me.

I mean, it’s, you know, that’s what I want, and I totally understand. If you don’t, if you don’t feel the same way.

I know, I,

I know I put you through hell. I terrorized your family.

You probably, you probably want nothing to do with me.

I still can’t believe how quickly you got to and from the drugstore. I mean, you must’ve been like sprinting the entire time. Obviously I was sprinting. You just told me you might be pregnant when you wanna sit down and just wait for the truth. I mean, how long does this thing take? Two minutes. Two minutes?

I got two minutes. Two minutes. Uhhuh. Okay. Hey, Ben. Yes. Are you nervous? No. No, no. I’m excited. Uhuh, are you Uhuh? No, I’m, I’m, I’m just, I’m still a little queasy. Okay. Queasy. Queasy, right? Women get queasy. Why is that? Why, why, why, why do you pregnant? Women get queasy. You know what? I don’t think all pregnant women do.

Like my mom, when she was pregnant with Sean, she didn’t really get nauseous at all. And as far as the reasoning, I literally have no idea. But there must be some evolutionary reason for it, right? Yes. Yes. So, yeah, evolution. What does that say, Ben? Yes. Are you, um, are you this nervous because you think this is a good thing or it’s a bad thing?

I mean, we, we really didn’t plan for this, right? And, and Bo is not even a year old, and this means that we would be on a boat with a toddler and a baby. Yeah. It’s not a good thing. What? It’s a great thing. We don’t even know what’s going on. We don’t even know if you’re pregnant. Um, uh, actually we do, what does it say?

Are you, are we? I am. You are. I am.

Oh my God. Can’t believe it. We’re gonna have a baby. We’re gonna have another baby here. We’re, oh my God. Oh my God. But you’re actually happy about this, right? Like I just told you how great this is, Sarah. I mean, what do you, what do you mean? It’s not like we haven’t talked about having another kid. Yeah, but this just, this is so soon.

It’s not too soon for me. When Is it too soon for you? No, no. I then. You are a great dad. Okay. And, and it’ll be so nice for Bo to have a little sibling. He running around. Gonna be so, God, do you hear that? Oh, you’re gonna be a She a big brother. Oh my god. Big brother. Oh my God, Sean, I have to call Sean. Oh, we just found out about this.

Do you think? We don’t need to tell everybody right now. And we just found out. I’m not gonna tell him about the baby. I’m just gonna tell him that we’re. What about your mom? Oh, do you know what? Yeah, that’s a good idea. I’ll call and see if she can fly down from Montreal. Hey Sean. Hi. Yeah. Um, I was just calling to let you know that we are back in the States.

Yeah, we just talked a little while ago, but right now we’re in a little motel in, uh, Maryland. Yeah. I was also, um, going to say that uh, we might stop by Salem for a little bit if you’re not busy. Great. . Awesome. Yeah. I miss you so much. Um, I’m gonna call mom and see if maybe she can fly down too. Wait. Mom is where yesterday.

I told you that during our time together, some of the moments we shared were real

and they were, I did feel something for you Harris. Fuck. Okay. I, I wasn’t, I wasn’t sure you meant that, but I was, I was working you, huh. Well, I know how important. It is for you to find Megan and I was your last lead and you know, I think you would say anything to convince me to agree to be Deprogram. Yeah.

I, I don’t think that Romeo and Juliet had these kind of conversations too. Well, I, I don’t think they were secret agents and they weren’t trained to second guess everything and everyone. I completely understand. Are you thinking yesterday that I was working an angle and, um, Even if I was, I’m not right now.

This is just us, you and me, for real.

Well, doesn’t look like we have any kind of a welcoming committee. Oh, according to the military co bases. Gotta be right around here somewhere. Hey, that way out there. Yeah. See that building? Let’s do it. No, it it, it’s not. Bo died in hope’s arms, and you died in Steve’s and my lady died in John’s. Are you telling me the truth?

I was alive. I’m not telling you anything. Enough chocolates. Try this out. Shirley,

Megan stuff. Damn it, Bob, I don’t wanna hurt you. Why are you doing this? Don’t you want us to be together? Everything that I’ve done for you, I’ve, I’ve cured your brain tumor. I, I brought you back to life and this is the way that you’re thinking What we had ended years ago, we were never meant to be together.

So, And you gonna go be with hope, because I am not gonna let that happen. I let that

You need to find yourself another Guinea pig. In fact, why don’t you give yourself the serum? How are you doing? Sedative, you shouldn’t have the strength. You should’ve given me a bigger joke,

tenacious, greedy. Come back here, come.

The place is a maze. We’ll cover more ground if we split up. So you go that way.

Go here.

Do you really mean that?

Mm-hmm. , I need to trust you. We’d have to take it one step at a time. Take it slow.

What the hell is going on here?

What the.

Thanks for the.

I’m gonna go into my future on my own.

Kayla: Bo!

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Kate: Where is the Bo that that I knew that was a rebel, that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown up this whole lab and taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the flames? I mean, I mean, how many times did you take down Megan’s old man? That Bo Brady did not follow orders, hated anyone to tell him what to do. That Bo Brady right now would think that you’re disgusting that you’re doing something just because someone ordered you to do it. That someone, my, the likes of Megan’s Hathaway.

Bo: How about this? I want you dead.

Kate: Do you? Do you really? Because if you do, pull that trigger,

Rolf: What a spectacular rat, Skippy, look at your shining fur, sparkling eyes. That serum is working its magic on you. My little beauty,  Kate Roberts could have sit from the fountain of youth as well, but she chose to be difficult and now she’s dead. It looks as though Megan has put our two remaining guests back to sleep in order to avoid another escape attempt, and we can’t afford to lose any more lab rats before the serum is ready for testing.  No offense and so happens. I’ve manufactured a new batch in record time. You’ve been an excellent test subject. Now to see how the humans do

Hum it Harris, take a deep breath. That works. It’s not working. I can’t remember anything from the day Megan took me to the day. The day I woken the crap. It’s okay. It’s all right. Just, hey, just give it time. It’s alright. Megan, sub drive to you to years of wine control. You’ve been working with Kimberly for less than 24 hours, maybe this is a part of my brain that doesn’t wanna be reprogrammed.

You want your life back. Yes, I do want my life back.

I wanna find Megan

and I wanna bring her.

For your sake

from mine. Oh, there you are, right. Good news, miss sve. I’ve finished making a new batches of serum and I’ve tested it on my little friend Skippy here. How is he? She, when she’s never looked better racing around her cage like a young pup. Why don’t you look pleased? Because the serum won’t do me any good if I’ve already lost Bo, and that will all be your fault.

My fault. What did I do? You said he was beat forever. Loyal and true to me. He has been. No, he has not. Last night after I ordered him to kill Kate. Wait, are you saying he didn’t go through visit? We heard the gunshot. Well, yes. Yes. He killed Kate. But then he went rogue. He said it was the last order of mine that he was gonna follow, and he locked himself in the other lab and won’t speak to me.

And how could you have let this happen?

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

It’s interesting.

Interesting. That’s all you have to say for yourself. You told me the BO would be eating outta the palm of my hand and he was until he wasn’t. Bo Brady, as you know, is an uncommonly strong-willed individual. I suspect it’s one of the reasons you fell in love with him in the first. And it’s also the reason you needed the serum to turn back time and they can fall back in love with you.

You promised. I promised nothing. Ms. Ve, as I’ve told you, I can mold people’s minds, their thought center some extent, their desires. But I can’t change who they are at the core. They will be who they’ve always been.

Parents, Carolyn Brady, and Victor Kitty. I like the kind of man you are though. You’ve got pride. You can hold your head up high and stare any man right in the eye. Proud to have you for a son. Hope you know that.

Good morning, Ms. Brady, commander Michaels. I’m Dr. Frankel. I’m a psychiatrist for the is. Where? Where? Where’s Kimberly Donovan? Dr. Donovan called me in to consult on your case. Oh, okay. And what is your assessment? Unfortunately, it appears the changes to your brain chemistry are deeply embedded. Dr. Donovan and I both agreed traditional psychotherapy may not be enough to retrieve your memories.

Okay,

now what? One option is E C T E C T Shark therapy. Historically, it’s been prescribed to treat resistant depression, but it’s also used in conditioning and therefore reconditioning. So So you, you wouldn’t Is that my brain? I wouldn’t put it like that, but yes. And you think this could get Megan’s programming out of his head?

I can’t guarantee it. And I must warn you, there are many potential side effects such as. Headaches, confusion, memory loss. In very rare cases, it can even be fatal.

I don’t care. I want to do it now. Let’s do it today. Oh, sure. About this? Yeah, sure. In that case, I’ll need you to sign this consent form.

You can take time deciding on this. We can talk it over with Kimberly. You don’t have to sign it right now. I can’t move this way anymore.

Let’s just do it now.

Virtual chess. Huh? At which, uh, your son, Theo is virtually unbeatable. It’s infuriating, right? Well, it’s definitely humbly, yes. You know, I almost beat him in a game the other day. Almost beat a key word. Well, stay at it. He’s bound to make a mistake someday. Sure. If you say so.

You know, when I think about all the worries Alexia and I had, that he would never work or live independently, and now sometimes I wish he were a little bit less independent. Yeah, I hear you. I, um, I say that about Toms and Charlotte all the time. They’re, they’re growing up so. And that will only speed up as they get older.

Theo was about Thomas’s age when you lost Lexi, right? Yes, he was. How did he react when, when you started to, um, to move on? Move on. You mean dating? Yeah. You know, Thomas and Charlotte, they adore Stephanie. And, and they’re, they’re happy that she and I are, are together, but it’s just what worries me is

worries me is, um, Dino, if it doesn’t work out and, and they’re already so attached, Chad, Dino, goodness, none of us know for sure what the future holds. I mean, my advice is take it one day at a. Enjoy what you and Stephanie have together and stop. Stop with the what ifs. . Your children are strong and you know, whatever happens down the road, it’s, but having Stephanie in their lives right now is a good thing, I think.

I think you are right. Very good. And no more what ifs. Good. I’m gonna hold you to that and segueing to, uh, a work relationship between you and Stephanie, which is also very good. I mean, Pauline is very impressed with the two of you, and you’ve helped her, you’ve helped her out of a lot of ugly gyms. Yeah.

Well, you know, we, we had that, that big screw up, uh, a few months back. We’re just grateful that she gave us a second shot. You know, Paul, she wants what she wants and, well, you know the, what’s the thing about business? It can get a little Missy.

Dear God, somebody broke in here and trashed the place. I’m not so sure about that. This place doesn’t look trash to you. No. I mean about the breaking in part. When we got here, the door was locked. Right? You, you used your key. Yes. No. So if someone picks a lock, it disables the mechanism. I learned that from my dad.

So whoever got in, got in some other way. I don’t care how they got in. All I care about is who did it, and I know exactly who it was.

I am going to turn up the voltage

stop. You’re hurting him. Lower the voltage.

Keep going, I can kick it.

Commander Harris Michaels was a strong-willed man who also fancied himself to be a hero, but he always did exactly as I ordered him too. Not always, he wouldn’t shoot hope on a vetting day. You don’t have to remind me. What is it with these men in Hope Williams? Brady? She’s like catnip. What is it that they see in her beauty brains bravery.

Ah, sorry. You asked the question, but the point is Bo doesn’t see anything in her anymore. How can you be so sure about that? He’s broken free of my. How do you know that your programming hasn’t failed entirely? How can you be sure that he hasn’t fallen for her? Again,

hope Williams Brady Pose Liaison. That drug is one true love bow and hope we’re a romance for the ages, but through the. The relationship has hardly been smooth sailing. I don’t give up easily. Fancy face. Neither do I, Brady. Forget it. Just listen. No, I’m not going stop it.

No, Paul, you can knock yourself out trying, but it’s never gonna work. You can’t change the past, Paul, you’re right. So I can take a long, healthy look at the future. We don’t have a future anymore.

We’ll see about that.

You know who did this to your office? Well, of course, Sloane Peterson. Who else? You have proof or you’re just guessing? Come on, Stephanie. Ever since Bell got her case against me and Chanel thrown out Sloane, she’s made some big vows. She’s going to get her revenge some way, some. Well, I mean, trashing your office is upsetting, but it doesn’t seem like Sloane’s mo.

Well, maybe she’s trying to find dirt to use against me. I don’t know. The woman is unhinged. I guess that’s possible. It’s not only possible. It is what? It’s what happened? Oh, no, she’s not gonna get away with this. Wait, where are you going? Where do you think I’m going over there to ring her scr little neck.

You know, I can’t promise that things with Paul won’t get messy. In fact, I can more easily promise that they will , but I’m glad she has you and Stephanie on her side. Me too. Hey, hey, Hey, Chad. Steve throwing around. I know he, he left a while ago. What’s going on? Oh, got, uh, some news about the hunt for Megan Hathaway.

Just wanted to give him an update. Well, I’d like to get an update myself. Uh, I can’t say I’m looking forward to meeting my long law sister unless she’s in police custody. When I do. If Bo’s feelings for Hope had returned, he wouldn’t be haul up in Z of the lab. He’d be tearing his way out of this place.

Nothing could stop him from getting home to her. He doesn’t even know where he is. It wouldn’t matter if he was on the moon, he’d find his way back to her, but he owes his life to you. That gives you considerable power in this situ. Until last night, he had done everything that I asked him to. He, he stole the orchid from Salem.

He, he killed Kate. I don’t understand what’s changed. So suddenly we have to remember he’s been through a great deal of trauma. We don’t know, has a brain tumor altered his mental status? He doesn’t have a brain tumor anymore. Again, thanks to me. I got those prisms, I revived him. I kidnapped numerous people.

I’ve been living off the grid for decades and I’ve sacrificed. Everything for one reason and one reason only to get Bo back, and I am not going to lose him. Now.

Bo Brady’s stubborn streak will be the biggest obstacle to overcome, as he will most certainly be resistant to treatment. His love for hope is embedded at the most elemental level and thus difficult to erase completely. My best strategy is to exploit the cracks in a very foundation of their relationship.

Well, are you back for good or are you going back to I’ve gotta go to Victor’s place. That’s what you want. Tell you what I want. I want you to, oh, don’t, I can’t, don’t even have. If you walk off that door pole, I don’t want you to ever come back again. Oh, come. I mean, boat. We have to go through. You go out that door and our marriage is finished.

Yeah. Uh, makes sense. I guess this is it, isn’t it? No, there’s something else I want to say too.

I do love you.

And that is never going to change no matter what happens. I love you. Just remember that. Okay,

bye.

Goodbye, Paul. Bo has loved other women, including Ms. Hathaway if only goes according to plan. He will love her once.

I remember,

so Michael’s agreed to track down Megan, are you sure it’s not some kind of trick? Well, the thing is, Kimberly is treating him and she believes he’s sincere. She says that whatever feelings he has for hope have broken through Megan’s brainwash. I hate to say it about my own sister. I, I hope she fries for what she did.

Well, we’re working on that. Does Stephanie know about the latest developments? No, actually not. Uh, but she would like to be in the loop. Do me a favor if you see her before I do, would you mind filling her in? Sure. I’m sorry. If you were worried about her last. Stephanie’s a grown woman, you know, and if I haven’t made it clear before, I’m glad that she has her support, especially now.

Thank you for saying that. We’re going through a tough time and we’re helping each other the best that we can. Well, they have a great relationship work-wise, and Paul just. SJ P R’S contract. That’s great. Stephanie must be so happy about that. Yeah, she’s actually signing the contract right now, and I, I, I supposed to have heard from her by now.

Um, I’m gonna just go and make sure everything’s okay. Ms. Price. You can’t just go over there and confront Sloan. Why the hell Matt? Because she could be dangerous. We should call the police. You know that if I called the police that gossip, manga lady, lawn mower, whistleblower, whatever. She’ll publish another clickbait column about the latest scandal to plague Paulina Price.

But how is it a scandal that someone trashed your office? I just told you to put out a press release insisting that no one gets away with crossing me. This will make me look like some sort of pathetic victim, or at least a magnet for disaster. It is not your fault that someone broke in and aha. So you agree she broke in?

Why don’t, why don’t you let me handle the. Starting with pointing out that strangling someone is not the most strategic move. Mm. Well, yeah. Alright. Alright. Bye. I’ll give you that. I’ll tell you what though. I know someone who can handle this discreetly. If you’ll let me give him a call.

It comes down to the age old. Nature versus Nurture. Bo was raised as a Brady to be a solid and decent member of the community, but by blood, he’s Victor Kitty’s son

in all my life. I wanted a son, somebody I could share my work with, share my life with somebody to pass my dream onto. I have that now. Couldn’t ask for a better son than you, Bo. I mean, I look at you and I see me now. I take that back. I have, I look at you and I see the good parts of me.

That explains why he was the black sheep of the Brady Clan. I intend to tap into his dark side, something he shares with Ms. Hathaway. There must be something that you can do, give Bo’s brain a tumor or something. He’s not a mo. You know what I mean? I need you to ensure that he is hopelessly devoted to only me.

And then we can use the serum and we can turn back time and we can go back to the good old days before Hope Williams came along, ruin and be fake with the giant buttons. Kill shoes is, are you all right?

Yeah, I think so. What do you remember?

Is it working off? Do you have control facilities? With Megan, it was like, it was like a lab and there was this guy with a white pony. Dr. Bra. Yes. Yes. That, that, that’s it. That’s his name. They put electrodes on my head like this. What else did you see?

There was this, there was a tube light container in the lab. When he was upright, he was human sized. Two for a person? Yes. And there was someone inside, who was it? Four in the tube.

Damn it. If only we had some other leads on Megan, we wouldn’t be totally at the mercy of this. Harris Michaels, I just thought of that woman at Homicidal bench walking around. It just burns me.

What? Why are you looking at me like that, Stevens? It’s just like you’re, you’re letting this quest take over your life. Okay. I know what you’re gonna say. I say This is no way to deal with my. But lemme tell you something, man. This is the only thing getting me outta bed in the morning. It helps me avoid thinking about life without Kayla.

I just can’t think about it, buddy. You know, you have to eventually. They just know that you, your friends, are there for you, whatever you need.

Who were you calling?

What the hell happened here? Exactly what it looks like. Someone tore the place up. Are you all right? She’s fine. So am I. If, uh, Do you see who did it? No. We walked in and found it this way. I assume the police have been called. Uh, not yet. We haven’t called them. Why not? Because I want this handled with the utmost discussion, and I’m about to do just that as long as Paulina agrees with my plan.

This person you saw on the tube, did you have any idea who it could have?

The glass was obscured by fog. I couldn’t see their face. Is there anything else you remember from the room? Anything at all

or something? Something on the wall? Some. Some sort of chart. Maybe a nautical map.

Do you think you could identify it? I remember seeing coordinates

make a backslab that map could lead you. Right. Tour. And whoever else she might be keeping there.

Where is the boat that I knew that was a rebel that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown up this whole last. I like the kind of man you are though. Couldn’t ask for a better son than you taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the flame. How proud I son. It’s fancy

you. Having you for a son has changed my life. Bob, man, look at you and I see me now I take that back. I. I look at you and I see the good parts of me, you honest, and look at me. So you’re not happy to see me.

Is

Indoc

Marvel Thought you would be so good at thinking.

We had a lot of wonderful moments here, didn’t we?

Yeah, I think I can remember a few. Where is the boat that, that I knew that was a rebel that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown up this whole lap and taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the.

I guess that answers my question. One question is that whether or not you want me here after that kiss, I know you too.

It’s fancy. Please don’t leave me.

If you want me to perform a tuneup on bo, you’ll need to either be cooperative or coerced. Yes, I have a plan A and a plan B. Why does that not surprise me? You just keep working on the serum.

What are you looking for?

Got it. If I should return,

and this is exactly how you found it, if it is, thanks again for coming so fast. Yeah, of course. You see anything? Hello? Yeah. No sign. A forced entry. Paulina, are you sure that, uh, nothing appears to be missing? No, but we already knew this. Oh, I’m just asking, does this all seem weird to you? Yeah, I mean, it’s, it’s unusual.

Pollina. Are you sure that nobody happened to have gotten a hold of a spare key? Are you saying, this is my fault? Hey, I’m just covering all my bases here. I wanna get a forensic unit in here and. Desperate press. No, no, no. You don’t need to bother with that. I can tell you who’s guilty. So go do your job at arrest Sloan Peterson.

So what do you intend to do with Megan when you find her? Well, it’s probably best. You don’t hear the answer to that, Mr. Mayor.

It’s hope. Hey, hope. What’d you? We may have a general location. Okay. Text me what you got. You got it? As soon as I get off. Okay, we’ll check it out. I’m gonna call John. We’ll hop on a plane and we’ll meet you there. Okay, great. See you soon. Listen, I’m sorry, but I’ve gotta get going. Yeah. No, I know. I know you.

Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris. Harris, Harris.

There’s a side of BO that was drawn to Megan, the side that craves danger, excitement, life on the wild side under the right circum. She might once again welcome her with open arms.

General Hospital Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Elizabeth: What if I get fired? What if this is the end of my time here at general hospital? Oh, she’s here. Ah. Hi. My part is finished. They’re making their decision now. How long is it gonna take? Is a quick decision good or bad? I wish I knew. What i do know is that you’re an excellent nurse, and I made that clear to the board.

[ Cellphone dings ] Oh. A little fire to put out here. I’ll be right back. Finn: Okay. This is so bizarre. Half of me wants this to be over with, and the other part wants it to drag on forever. Because what if these are my last minutes on staff? Either way, I just — I need to face it and deal with it. And you will. Look, I — I know how important your independence is to you. And if you need to face this on your own, I understand. I-I could step out. My life may be about to change forever. There’s no one else I’d rather be by my side.

[ Footsteps approaching ] I, uh, just got a notification. They’ve reached their decision. Oh, god. Here we go. Nurse baldwin. After careful consideration, the committee has decided… not to take any disciplinary action against you. I have your car keys. You called finn. I know that you’re upset. After I specifically asked you not to discuss what’s happening in my life with finn or chase. How can I explain what’s happening in your life if i don’t know what’s happening in your life? Because you won’t tell me. I’m worried about you. Worried. About what? You just said you don’t know anything. So let’s just leave it that way. I can’T. You’re my friend. I care about you, whether you like it or not. I am getting a whole-new education on the backstage elements of the nurses’ ball. You guys would not believe how important it is to have the right lighting package. Fortunately, the lighting designer that lucy has always used is available, but he is not cheap. Thankfully, the nurses’ ball is fully funded, so all the proceeds can go to hiv/aids research. I’m so glad deception is able to donate $300,000 and match all the customers’ donations. Wow. That’s a lot of money. Lucy will be so excited. God rest her soul. Sasha. Does kelly’s make biscotti? Not that I know of, but the cupcakes are spectacular. Hm. Oh! Uh, you know my mother-in-law, gladys. Sure do. Yeah, we met at the savoy. Isn’t that right, gladys? What were you doing at the savoy? Well, go ahead, gladys. You want to tell them or should I?

[ Elevator whirring ] Portia: Is there hope for us, curtis? I’m afraid it’s more complicated than that. Is it? Curtis. Just tell me if our love for one another is strong enough to get us through this. Not that long ago, you were the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And now that trust is broken. And I don’t think our love can fix that.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

[ Telephone rings ] Marshall, hi. What are you doing here? Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah. I’m fine. I’m just coming back from my follow-up with dr. Samuels. I know we haven’t had a chance to chat at the house, but I’ve — I’ve really been wondering. How did it go? Didn’t curtis tell you? Well, curtis said to me he would tell me if he could, but the information is private. I think that says it all, doesn’t it? Scotch. Neat. Curtis. Hey. Uh, you don’t have to worry. This is my first drink. I can promise you it won’t be my last. Might get ugly, so… you might want to get while the getting’s good.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll have what he’s having. Trina. Hi. I was in the neighborhood. I wanted to see if the baby settled in okay. Come in. Things didn’t go exactly the way that I hoped that they would. We love our new room, don’t we, ace? Yeah? Who’s that? Esme’s here?

[ Ace cooing ] Um, we live here now, thanks to ace’s grandmother. Isn’t that right, ace? Just one big, happy family.

[ Ace crying ] Oh, I know. Why you fussin’? Why you fussin’?


Trina, it’s so nice to see you, sweetie. I’m sorry just to show up. Oh. Are you kidding me? You’re always welcome here. I didn’t want to disturb the baby. I-I really didn’t realize. This is a very recent development. We all agreed that, uh, it would be best if esme and ace stayed with us. The alternative would be to get esme a place above kelly’s, but that’s no place for a baby, so… yeah, so, um, mommy came up with a compromise. It seemed like a good idea. So are you — are you going back to your uncle sonny’s place or…? Spencer: No, grandmother has been very generous to let me stay here. That way, I can be right down the hall if my little brother needs me. So…why are you here? And not at your own nightclub? Drinks are free there, you know. Too many things to bother me at my nightclub. And tonight, I don’t want to be bothered. I will have another scotch, though. Go ahead. I know you want to ask me what’s wrong.

[ Chuckles ] I figure if you want to tell me, you will. And if not, well… it’s good scotch. You always did love a fine highland malt. You remember. Hm. Cop’s curse. I remember everything. I ran into trina tonight. And I’m guessing by your bar tab, things went badly? Actually, it was the opposite. Great. Trina’s a good kid. Trina’s the best. But she still doesn’t want to take a dna test. I gotta say, there was a — there was a moment there that I thought we could really have a relationship. There’s just one big “if.” If it turns out she’s your daughter? Well, it sounds like you made a nice start. Yeah, it was. Until her mom walked in. I hate that there’s still so much distance between you and curtis. And I know that this is my fault. But curtis has such little trust in me that he wouldn’t want to share your latest medical evaluation? It’S…

[ Sighs ] I just hope the information you got from dr. Samuels was good. Wait. Wait. Don’t go. Is there someplace we can talk? Listen, I don’t want you to feel obligated to keep me in the loop on this. I really don’T. No, no, no. This isn’t obligation. This is gratitude. You’re the one. You. You’re the one who first suggested I might have been misdiagnosed 40 years ago. It seems to me you should know what the specialist said. We could go to the break room. Gladys: It’s still a free country, isn’t it? Can’t I stop in a club without it becoming town gossip? Hey. Don’t be upset, gladys. It’s just not like you to go to the savoy by yourself. Ohh. I think I know why gladys was there. Same reason I was there. It was ladies’ night. Ha! You got me! Ha! Uh… if you were really my friend, you’d stop prying into my personal and professional lives. Gregory, if I didn’t pry into your personal and professional life, I wouldn’t know that you’ve been lying to me for months. If I didn’t speak to the dean, I wouldn’t know that you didn’t work there anymore. Which wasn’t your place. And you have absolutely no business reaching out to finn to dig up information on me. I — I — if I hadn’t been with finn when you called, you were gonna tell my son everything, weren’t you? Tell him everything? I don’t know anything.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know what’s going on with you. I’m just trying to help. I don’t want any help. Is that clear enough for you? The committee has determined that you cooperated with nikolas cassadine in the service of providing medical care to a pregnant woman. We believe you had reason to assume involving the authorities would cause mr. Cassadine to run off with ms. Prince or, worse, cause her harm. Dr. Finn and dr. Randolph convinced us that you may have saved her and her baby’s life. As such, no further action will be taken against you. Thank you. You have an outstanding record and many supporters, nurse baldwin. It was clear to the committee that you’re an asset to the hospital. Good luck to you. Thank you. If you’ll excuse me, I do have to speak to the committee on another matter.

[ Both laugh ]


I know you think that I overstepped. Oh. [ Scoffs ] You did. Look, I am not the one with a drinking problem, so in the future, please save your sympathies for the people in your meetings. Gregory, wait. I jumped to the conclusion that you had a drinking problem because you appeared drunk at 11:00 A.M., And then you were belligerent, and then you lied to me about really, really important stuff for a long time. You lost your job and lied about it. What am i supposed to think? I was wrong. You’re not a journalist. You’re more like a cop who pulled me over. What’s next? A-a breathalyzer? Well, you tell me. Would you pass or fail? Thank you for staying by my side through this awful ordeal. Any time. Hey. Hey. The committee was influenced by what you had to say, finn. Your words had a lot of impact. Oh, it wasn’t just me. It was — it was you and portia and mayor collins. I mean, it was a lot of people willing to vouch for nurse baldwin’s commitment to this hospital and nursing. And epiphany. Yeah. Fortunately, the committee didn’t need to hear directly from your supervisor, since she’s out of town. And there are several testimonials from epiphany already in your file. Her support for you is well-known around here.

[ Chuckles ] So, nurse baldwin, no excuses. I expect to see you here in uniform first thing tomorrow for your next shift.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Both sigh ] Hey, you want to — you want to call the boys, give them the good news? No, I want to tell them face-to-face when I get home. Alright. Yeah. This is my home, too. And I almost lost it. Glad it didn’t come to that. Hated the thought of doing rounds without knowing you were here to have my back. Oh, well, you’ve managed without me in the past. That was before I knew what I was missing. Yeah, gladys was there for the good music and the dancing. And I was there because, well, whenever there’s a ladies’ night, there’s bound to be a few unattached ladies. Well, don’t leave us hanging. Did you get lucky? Uh, well, you know how it is. Luck comes and goes. Isn’t that right, gladys?

[ Coughing ] Are you okay?

[ Strained ] Went down the wrong pipe. Be careful. Maxie: You know what? I’m glad that you’re here. I have a question for you that will change your life. Come on. Come with me. O-okay. I’m g-gonna settle up and go. Ha! Hey. Gladys. I know that cody upset you. And I know why. Look. You don’t have to worry. I tried drowning my sorrows in a bottle on my wedding night. It didn’t work. Tonight I’m just blowing off some steam. Well, I am probably not the best person for you to be talking to about this. If I hadn’t opened up to stella, trina may have never confronted portia. You weren’t trying to sabotage my wedding. You know me, and you know that I don’t like the kind of lies that — the kind that blew up our marriage? You don’t, right? I don’t want the same thing to happen to you and portia. I believe you. I’m just afraid it’s too late to do anything about it now. As long as you meant the vows you said when you married portia, there is something you can do. Which is? Do what you couldn’t do with me. Forgive her. I hope you know how lucky you are to have someone like laura looking after you and your baby. I did have my doubts when spencer suggested that I move in above kelly’s while ace stayed here. I mean, I won’t be separated from my son. And I never wanted that. And I did have a hard time believing that part. I wondered if your loyalty wasn’t to nikolas and spencer. When I suggested that both ace and I stay here, you were so kind and, you know, quick to say yes that it really reassured me. We all want what’s best for ace, don’t we, spencer? It is the only thing that matters. Trina: Then I hope it all works out for y’all. I have to go. I’ll walk you out. It’s, um, past ace’s bedtime. Oh. Come on. I’ll help you put him down. No need to walk me to my car. I know you probably want to get back inside. Trina, I am so sorry. I did not mean to spring this on you. You don’t owe me an explanation. I just want you to understand that I’m only going along with this for ace. Spencer, I-I get it. I really do. And in this way, you and esme get to raise him together. That is the last thing that I want. But if esme and the baby had not moved in here, then I would have lost my brother for good.


A necessary evil. You know that esme has the law on her side and that she has the power to keep my brother away from me. Moving her into your grandmother’s house was the only way to keep him close. Yes. I understand. Um, that song you sang to ace, it was so pretty. Laura: Ohh. Thanks.

[ Chuckles ] It’s the same lullaby I used to sing to my children. Somehow I can’t picture heather or ryan singing to me. Even if they had the chance. Well, you know, fortunately, your biological parents didn’t raise you. Honey, I’m sorry that you don’t have more happy childhood memories. But you know what? It’s not too late to make sure that your son will. In other words, you’re counting on esme to be someone completely new, a totally different girl from the one who’s tried to do her crazy father’s bidding and hurt as many people as possible. She has no memory of that time, at all. She doesn’t seem to. I mean, when I went to visit esme in spring ridge, I didn’t get a feeling that she was putting on an act. But just because she doesn’t remember doesn’t automatically make her a good person. What if the new esme is — is even worse than the old one? If I forgive portia, what does that make me? A loving husband? No. It makes me a hypocrite. Jordan, our marriage ended because of lies that you had been telling me for barely a year. Oh. So — so how are you okay with portia’s even bigger lie for 20 years? You’re forgetting something. It wasn’t my choice to end our marriage. And dr. Samuels is sure you don’t have any of the markers for the disease? Not a single one. Of course, it doesn’t prove I don’t have schizophrenia, but according to the doctor… well, the odds are less likely because you don’t have any of the genetic markers. Exactly. And it also explains why, after your original diagnosis, you never experienced another episode. I can’t say I’m not relieved. Look, after walking around for 40 years being afraid of a ticking time bomb in my head… but I don’t even know what I have or if there was ever even anything wrong with me at all. Which makes you feel like you’re stumbling around in the dark. Sound like you know the feeling. I just hope it hasn’t made you doubt me. Because I couldn’t love you more if you were my own daughter. Gladys. I love you, too. And I know that you’re grieving brando as much as I am. I just hate to think of you going out alone when we could be together. So let’s make the nurses’ ball our coming-out party. We’ll get really glammed up and wow everyone on the red carpet.

[ Laughs ] Oh, well, you’re gonna have to wow them without me. I’ve seen the fancy gowns everybody wears. I don’t have anything like that. Well, that’s the perfect excuse to buy you one. With what? My money. What’s the point of having it if I can’t share it with you? Hello?! Cody! Woman right here giving you a great idea. Mm-hmm. Are you even listening to me? Yeah. No, no, no. You want me to, what, ride in on a horse for the nurses’ ball? Do some rope tricks or what? When I said I needed a cowboy, I meant to dance with the others. Mm-hmm. What — what others? Magic milo and the magic wands. Come on! It’ll be fun! There’s great music. You guys get to do this choreographed dance. All the women in the audience are screaming for you. And your costume is…simple! You get the shirt that you get to wear for, like, a minute, and then you have these breakaway pants. Breakaway — so this is a strip show. You want me to take off all my clothes? Of course not!

[ Chuckles ] You get to keep your boots on. I’m gonna say this one more time. I don’t have a drinking problem. Yes, I stumbled at the metro court. Everyone stumbles now and then. Probably even you. And you claim I was slurring my words. But have you thought maybe — maybe it’s just a case of confirmation bias on your part? Because you decided I was drunk, so you saw and heard exactly what you expected. What you didn’t see was me pouring vodka into that glass of orange juice. Just because no one saw you doesn’t — ohh! Have you ever — ever — seen me over my limit or out of control? In all the time we’ve been together, have I ever been drunk in your company? No. No. Will you please explain to me why you got fired from your job? Ah! I… I wasn’t fired. I quit! Why would you do that?! That doesn’t make any sense. You love to teach, you love journalism, and yet you walked away from both. I can see that something is really wrong here. Will you please let me help you? Alexis… I’m sick.


I’m sorry. You’re sick. Okay.

[ Inhales deeply ] Would you tell me — am I allowed to ask what’s wrong? No, no. I have already told you more than I intended. Or do you want to see my medical chart now? No, I — no, no, no.

[ Exhales deeply ] As long as you have someone to help you. You’ve got finn. He’ll get you the best hospital care or whatever care you need. Finn doesn’t know. You didn’t tell your son? No. No. And it’s going to stay that way. That doesn’t make any sense. He’s one of the best doctors in the country. Why — why wouldn’t you tell him? Do you really want to help me? I really do. There’s one thing you can do for me. You name it. Give me back my car keys.

[ Sighs ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Hey, look who just got dropped off. Hi, baby girl. Hi, aunt elizabeth. We’re just going to beradino’s for spaghetti and meatballs. Want to come? Now I know what you’re thinking. This will be cheesy and embarrassing, and we’re exploiting men. But it’s — it’s not like that at all. It’s good, clean fun, and everybody loves it. You’d be shaking your booty for a fabulous cause. For you, maxie, yeah, I’ll do it. That’s it? I had a whole list of excellent reasons.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, it’s no worries, you know? I’ve been a body double on location shoots out west before. I even shot a whole scene, uh, naked on horseback. It was me, not the horse. The horse still had a saddle on. Okay. You’re still amazing. Thank you so much.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. You’re so sweet. But I-I-i wouldn’t feel right using your money on myself. Actually… I have been doing some research. Traditionally, the guardian of a conservatorship gets paid a court-approved salary. You have been managing my finances this whole time for free. It’s only fair that you get paid for all your hard work. That’s nice of you.

[ Chuckles ] I know how hard you have been trying to honor brando’s memory. He would want me to do this. Alright, who’s ready for some great news? Mine first. Maxie, we’ve got some high-end shopping to do. Guess who’s gonna be the belle of the nurses’ ball? Mm. I’m fine.

[ Sighs ] But this is about you right now. And I’m sure dr. Samuels explained to you that they would be weaning you off of your medication and monitoring you in case you had any unusual reactions. And if I don’t have any more episodes, blah, blah, blah. What does that mean? Were they just careless 40 years ago when they diagnosed me? Did they — they just call it schizophrenia — schizophrenia — when I might have had something else? Dr. Samuels is the expert in this field. I’m not. No. No. But you, you’re family. And I trust what you tell me. I appreciate that. What I can say to you is that the understanding of disorders like schizophrenia has evolved greatly over the past four decades. But I don’t want to second guess your original doctors or hypothesize a theory until we know more. Seems to me you already know more than what you’re saying. Haven’t we learned keeping things to yourself does more harm than good? If you didn’t want our marriage to end, then why didn’t you fight harder for it? I fought as hard as I could. But in the end, your happiness meant more to me than my own. Because…

[ Sighs ] Because what?

[ Exhales deeply ] Because I pushed you away. I was furious at the secrets you’d kept.

[ Sighs ] But what if… what if I wasn’t so quick to judge you? What if I had handled things differently? Would we still be together? We would. That’s another reason why it’s a good thing for esme to stay here with the baby. If she starts to show her true colors, I’ll be the first to know. I hope. I mean, she fooled you in the beginning.

[ Chuckles wryly ] That was a long time ago, before I knew you. What does that mean? It’s like imitation vanilla or something. Imitation anything, really. You know, that buttery stuff that they put on your popcorn? Imitation crab on your california roll. Did you just compare me to a california roll?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughing ] No, I just mean that it’s — it’s easy to settle for an imitation of something. But everything that esme gave me, or pretended to give me throughout our relationship — support, understanding, connection — it was all fake, and I bought it, and I believed in it till I experienced the real thing, and you showed me real support, real understanding, and a true connection. You gave me something that esme could never give me — honesty. And I may not always like what you have to say to me… but I never question that what you’re telling me is the truth. I want to do everything right for my son. I mean, give him all the things that — that I never had, but… heather, um, my mother, she… warned me not to trust spencer or you. Esme, sweetheart, your mom isn’t someone you should be taking advice from.

[ Ace cries ] I’m sorry. Oh, look at that. He didn’t stay asleep long, did he? Yeah. I’ll get him. It’s okay, sweetie. You take a minute. Oh, the baby’s crying. You should go. I’m sure that he has all the help he needs. So do you. Do I? You know you do.


this sweet little boy just missed his mommy, I think.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t you? Come here, angel. Look. Here she is. I know.

[ Chuckles ] Hello. You should be sleeping, right? [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Oh, I, um, don’t know what’s keeping your brother. Aww.

[ Ace babbles ] You know, I’ll go warm up a bottle, hon. Oh, thank you. What’s that?

[ Door opens ] Trina, um… I thought you left. There’s no point in reliving this all again. The past is the past. But we’re still here. And drinking, which always makes people sentimental. You know good and well it ain’t the booze.

[ Sighs ] It’s been a long time since we’ve talked like this. Yeah, too long. Thank you for your concern, but I think I have burned all my bridges. In fact, I’ve even torched them. You and curtis need to build new ones. I think we were talking about you, weren’t we? Now, if you really want answers, I think you should contact the original medical team that diagnosed you way back then. If any of them are still around. Yeah. It’s like you said. If a bridge is burned, build another one. Hm. Thank you.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] This is so exciting. Gladys and I are walking the red carpet together.

[ Chuckles ] Sasha insists on buying me a fancy dress. How lucky am i to have such a generous daughter-in-law? Hm. Yeah, you’re lucky alright. Actually, we’re all lucky here, because cody has decided to join magic milo and the magic wands and bare almost everything for charity. Really? Eh, it’s for a good cause, you know? Exactly. And now that my work here is done, come on, gladys, let’s figure out something for you to wear. I need to know what you’re thinking so we can figure out designers. You really made maxie’s day. Ah, well, same as you did for gladys. So things are okay with you two now? Gladys has been struggling with her grief. So have I. That doesn’t always make for the best communication, but we’re working through it. In fact, our conversation today was so good that I decided to start paying her a salary. You really think that’s a good idea? Why not? I as ked you to leave my keys –which, by the way, you had no right to confiscate — with the concierge. But once again, you decided you know best. I took your car keys because I care about you. I do.

[ Breathes shakily ] Alexis, I — I wish… gregory. Listen to me. Whatever this is, you don’t have to go through it alone. And I promise, I promise you, you can trust me. Whatever you say to me will not leave this room. I promise.


What you said about it never leaving this room…

[ Keys rattle ] I hope you meant it.

[ Sighs heavily ] Spaghetti and meatballs? My favorite. How could I say no? Can jake and aiden come, too? Sure. Sure. What about — what about cameron? He’s still sad about josslyn. Oh. Hmm. Well, hey, maybe a night out would cheer him up. Okay. He can come, too. All my favorite people. That’s what I call a celebration. You ready? Let’s go. If you think you can trust gladys, then who am i to tell you otherwise? There’s a “but” in there somewhere. And I don’t just mean the one you’ll be showing off at the nurses’ ball.

[ Both chuckle ] All I’m saying is… if you’re gonna put gladys on the payroll, trust but verify. The thing about cody is, the more I know him, the better I like him. Yes, I am grateful he agreed to be a magic wand with minimum fuss. And, yes, cody has his flaws. But everyone does. I don’t know, maybe it’s because he doesn’t pretend otherwise. He’s got that whole “broke cowboy with a sweet side” thing.

[ Both laughing ] I see a lot to like in him. I think sasha would understand what I mean. Do you think there’s something going on there?

[ Scoffs ] I hope not. Why? Don’t you like cody?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Terry. Terry, hey. Did the, um, committee make a decision about elizabeth yet? She’s been reinstated.

[ Gasps ] What a relief. Oh, that’s so wonderful. I know she must be so happy. It’s about time we had some good news around here, right? Stella. I know you’ve been avoiding me… since the wedding. Look, look, I need a favor. Do — do you still have all of irene’s papers? Well, are my medical records among them? Officer: Commissioner, your car is outside. Well. I think I about reached my limit. Me, too. Scotch is a lot stronger than I remembered. Good thing I have a driver waiting. A very good thing. I’ll be right out. No, no. It’s on me. Thank you. Well… have a good night.

[ Exhales sharply ] Um, spencer and i were just — trina was just telling me how pcu has a daycare in case I want to take classes during the summer. Oh. Um, I mean, that’s very kind of her. But you won’t need to take care of ace. I’m perfectly capable of caring for my son. Isn’t that right, ace? Mommy’s gonna take care of you. Thank you for stopping by. Good night. Night.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Birds chirping ]

[ Sheila chuckles ]

Sheila: You’re proposing. You’re really… ready for marriage.

Bill: I am ready to share my life with someone who finally understands me. A woman that I can share my dreams with. All my secrets. And I know that she’s willing to do the same. Look, we’ve both been married before. We couldn’t be our true selves out of either fear or embarrassment. So just imagine what it will be like to be able to be our authentic selves without judgment. Am I ready?

[ Chuckles ] You’re damn right that I am ready. And I hope you are too. So say yes, sheila. Tell me you’ll be my wife.

Det. Chen: And sheila’s buying this?

Ridge: She has to. This proposal’s gonna put her over the top. She’s gonna trust bill completely and spill her secret.

Det. Chen: The crimes we can charge her with might not put her away for life, but–

Ridge: First degree murder will. We all know she’s done it. Just need some proof. Come on, sheila, take the bait.

Stephen: Ridge is mia. Now, at such a critical and dangerous time for you and your family.

Brooke: You have to understand, dad. He were so disillusioned.

Stephen: No, no, no. Thomas pulled a horrific stunt and ridge should be angry. I’m not saying otherwise, but to leave town now and for how long with sheila carter at large? I mean, what– what is wrong with him? What is ridge up to?

Paul: Hey, guys, enjoy your meal.

Woman: Thank you so much.

Deacon: So that’s it, huh? One and done? You haven’t seen brooke again?

Paul: It’s not that I don’t want to, but, uh… she’s not ready to put herself back out there. Gotta respect her wishes.

Deacon: Yeah, you do. And thanks for that. Although, I gotta tell you, I’m not surprised because ridge isn’t exactly someone that she’s gonna get over quickly.

Paul: Yeah. Well, the longer he stays out of town, the easier it should get.

Deacon: You would think.

Paul: Unless… you think maybe he’s finally made his way back?

Brooke: Dad, criticizing ridge doesn’t really help.

Stephen: Was i being critical?

Pam: Oh, a tad.

Stephen: Strange, him not being here. That’s all I’m saying.

Brooke: He’s got his reasons. Whatever it is, is important. He told me that whatever he’s doing is for himself and for the wellbeing of the family.

Stephen: Whatever that means.

Ridge: Sheila thinks she’s gonna get everything she ever wanted. Come on honey, put on the ring. Spill your guts so we can lock you up. Keep you away from our families.

Bill: Well, what is it? I mean, what’s going on in that head of yours? Are you thinking that we’re already living together and that’s a commitment? Well, no. I mean, it’s– it’s not. You can call me old fashioned, but symbolism matters to me. What that ring on your finger tells the world and, more importantly, what it tells us. This is my way of, I don’t know, breaking down any final barriers that exist between us. It– it tells you that you can believe in me. Completely. When I put this ring on your finger… it means that we can be open with each other about anything.

Sheila: No. Stop. Stop.

Deacon: Wait.

Paul: So, now that my love life’s not going anywhere, tell me about yours. Let me live vicariously through you.

Deacon: Me. What? Are you kidding me? You’ve been on way more dates than I have.

Paul: What? One?

Deacon: I– way more dates than I have.

Paul: Really? So that whole mystery woman and you are no longer an item?

Deacon: Look, the only mystery that I got going on is whether or not this place is gonna be a success. So what do you say? Let’s get back to work.

[ Indistinct chatter ]

[ Birds chirping ]

Stephen: Bill actually says it’s love, these feelings he has for sheila?

Brooke: It’s not easy for me to comprehend. I mean, why couldn’t he find a woman with a conscience or… somebody who doesn’t belong in prison?

Pam: Who hasn’t tried to kill you. I mean, he keeps… putting people he cares about at risk. That’s what I cannot wrap my head around.

Brooke: Yeah. I wish I could explain it, but I can’T. I don’t think I’ll ever understand what bill is doing with sheila.

Bill: Why are you hesitating? You don’t want this? You don’t want a future together? A life together?

Sheila: A life, yeah. And we have talked about a future. I have– I’ve fantasized about that. But even so, I– I never imagined becoming mrs. Bill spencer.

Bill: Well, start imagining. Imagine the biggest, grandest wedding of your dreams. Or if you prefer to drive down to city hall and do that, hey, no problem. Whatever you prefer, right? I don’t care as long as it happens. I– I– I– wanna show all the naysayers what you mean to me. I don’t wanna hide our relationship. I don’t wanna hide our feelings. I mean, with you by my side. I don’t feel like I have to hide anything from anyone, least of all you. Share my– my hopes and my dreams and… my fears. That’s what I want this to be. We are the keepers of each other’s deepest, darkest secrets. This ring says that you can– you can believe in me completely. It’s a symbol of– of the door that we can walk through… into our future.

Sheila: Yeah, a future where, uh… I’m your wife.

Bill: Yes.

[ Laughs ] Yes. That you’re my wife. We can both have the kind of relationship that we have always longed for. One where we are– we are opened, we are honest, we have full transparency. There’s nothing hidden, no secrets.

[ Sheila chuckles ]

Sheila: You– you think that your sons were upset before, when they find about this–

Bill: Stop. Stop. I don’t give a damn about my sons. They don’t know what’s best for me. I know what’s best for me. And that’s you.

Sheila: Okay. Full transparency?

Bill: Mm-hmm.

Sheila: What are you really talking about here? I am– I’m not naive, bill. I’m sure that you’ve– you’ve passed this by your lawyers. So what is it? What is it that I have to sign? The prenup?

Bill: The pre…

[ Laughs ] There’s– there’s no prenup. No! What, you– you think I wanna go into this with– with an expiration date on it? No. No prenup, no lawyers, no legalese. Nothing. Nothing but my full… an undying commitment to you. Put the ring on, sheila. Say you’ll marry me. I’m jonathan lawson

Stephen: Bill wasn’t hearing anything you had to say.

Brooke: Well, that’s just it. He was. He even acknowledged that I was right.

Pam: Well, you are right, but he still wants to be with this crazy woman, a woman who shot you. Must be terrifying knowing that sheila’s walking free.

Brooke: Extremely. Not knowing when she’s gonna show up or where, or if she’s gonna be in a vengeful mood or not. It’s no way to live.

Stephen: All the more reason ridge should be here right now. Okay, honey, I– I’m trying to bite my tongue about this. But come on… ridge wants to disappear for a while, fine. But let him do it another time. Not now. Not while his family needs him the most.

Det. Chen: She hasn’t said yes yet. Could be a problem.

Ridge: Come on, bill. Just get that ring on her finger and make your fiancé confess to murder one.

Sheila: I just… I don’t think I’ve ever been so surprised. It’s the last thing I was expecting,

Bill: Is it really? Even with all the late night conversations we had about this very thing and cuddling by the fire, talking about our future, you didn’t have even the slightest idea?

Sheila: Okay. There’s no doubt that we had a very powerful connection. But even so, I mean, there are times that I look at you and I really have no idea what you are thinking.

Bill: All right. Can we–

Sheila: Or– no, I’m– or how do you even feel about me?

Bill: I was about to say, I think we’ve covered that, haven’t we? And it’s– it’s hard for people like us to– to fully trust. This is the– hell, the first time in my life that I’ve been able to be my authentic self with someone. And that’s because you accept me for me. You love me for me. The good, the bad, and– and– and the ugly. We’re able to be real with each other. I’ve had– that’s the beauty of this. And that’s the symbolic promise that this ring holds. And the symbolic promise that our– our vows would hold when we stand at the altar.

Sheila: This means so much to me. It’s what I’ve always wanted. And I-I’ve always craved.

Bill: Then say yes.

Sheila: I want to. I just… I– I– I need a minute. I need to process, because… this is a huge step. It’ll alter my future. It– it’ll change the course of my life.

Bill: Wow.

[ Laughs ] Truer words have never been spoken. You accept my proposal, it will permanently change your future.

Sheila: I’ll have an answer. I– I will. I just… I need to go for a drive. I– I won’t be long.

Bill: Okay. I want you to do whatever, whatever you need. But… I also want you to take this with you and try it on.

Sheila: No, bill.

Bill: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want– I want you to see how it feels. I’ll be here waiting for you.

Sheila: Okay. I will. I won’t be long. I will… have an answer.

[ Footsteps receding ]

[ Door closes ] Hi, I’m darlene let her leave.

Det. Chen: Don’t worry. I’m checking with the crew on the ground, making sure they’re following.

Ridge: What if she runs? What do we do then?

Det. Chen: You do remember how many agents we have on this, right? How many we’ve had since even before her absurd prison release.

Ridge: Think about that. Why would she buy that? Why would you think that a judge would just set her free?

Det. Chen: Just because your daughter didn’t testify. Clearly, he had to let her go. There was no other option. For a criminal mastermind, sheila’s kinda gullible.

Ridge: All the time we put into this. All the people. Not just… bill, but the judge, you, your team.

Det. Chen: Don’t forget you. You’ve been here day and night since the beginning.

Ridge: We couldn’t just send her down for an attempted murder. They’d let her go after a couple of years. She’d go after my family again. I can’t have that. Need to put her away for something bigger. And murder one will do the trick. Just need some proof.

[ Laptop beeps ] This can’t all have been for nothing.

Det. Chen: Ah, so that’s where she went.

Ridge: Where?

Det. Chen: Sheila, surprise, surprise, where she ran off to? Deacon sharpe’s apartment, again.

[ Knock on the door ]

Deacon: Your text said it was important. What’s going on?

Sheila: It’s– it’s– it’s bill.

Deacon: What about bill?

Sheila: It’s unbelievable. Unimaginable, really. I– I– something I– I never thought he’d ever do.

Deacon: What did he do? What did spencer do?

Sheila: I’ve been living with him for a while now.

Deacon: I’m aware.

Sheila: Oh, I– I’m– I really can’t believe that– that he took me in, that he never sent me back to jail. And– and now… I know why, deacon, he loves me. He truly loves me.

Deacon: I– I– I mean, did– did he do something to demonstrate this? I mean, what did he buy you, a tiara?

Sheila: Oh. A ring.

Deacon: A ring?

Sheila: Yes. A gorgeous, beautiful diamond engagement ring.

Deacon: Wait, you’re telling me that bill the billionaire proposed to sheila the felon?

Sheila: That’s exactly what I’m saying. He wants to make me his wife. He– he doesn’t want anything keeping us apart. He wants me to open up to him completely. I can’t believe this. I mean… he wants me to be mrs. Bill spencer.

Bill: She was clearly shocked, but I think she bought it.

Ridge: You sold it well.

Bill: Well, of course I sold it well. I told you from the beginning I was gonna sell it well.

Ridge: I’m so sorry I didn’t say– yes. You sold it well. You didn’t sell it perfectly. Because once again, you had to put billy’s spin on it with all this honesty and trust. Where did that come from?

Bill: Well, whose spin am I supposed to put on it? I’m the only one here. And that was the idea, right? Lay it on thick. Get the confession.

Ridge: The idea was not to tip her off.

Bill: Well, you know what? I must have missed this chapter in my how to con a psycho handbook. Look, I told you, I’m about at the end of my rope. I wanna get that confession and be done with this.

Ridge: And you will get it if you stick to the plan. Can you do that? Just make her feel comfortable and then we can move on.

Det. Chen: She’s still at sharpe’s place.

Ridge: Your girlfriend’s at deacon’S.

Bill: What is that about? What is that? She– she has to get permission from that dimwit pizza maker to accept my proposal?

Ridge: And he’ll give it to her.

Bill: Then she’ll come racing back here. I will slip that ring on her finger, make her squeal like a pig. She will confess to everybody she’s offed. And then, then we will have her, forrester, and our families will finally be safe from that maniac, sheila carter, forever.

Sheila: Bill proposed. He wants to marry me. God, is it– is this really happening? Is this just too good to be true?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ms. Shannon: Good. We’re all on time. I hope both parties have taken the opportunity to remind ourselves why we’re here.

Christine: We have, ms. Shannon.

Ms. Shannon: The relationship between the parties has devolved to the point where communication has become impossible and unproductive. And that has led us here.

Amanda: Yes, ms. Shannon.

Ms. Shannon: Since we’re all in agreement, there should be no further interruptions. Let’s continue. Is there more evidence that either side would like to present?

Christine: Yes.

Amanda: Yes.

Phyllis: You will never in a million years guess what I found in diane’s purse.

Jeremy: You were rummaging through her purse?

Phyllis: A big, fat diamond engagement ring. That was in her purse.

Jeremy: Huh.

Phyllis: She did it! She got jack to propose to her. So, I was right all along. That was her goal — to come here and con jack and everybody else in this town. And she has a big diamond ring to prove it.

Jeremy: All of her dreams are coming true.

Phyllis: Her dreams are my nightmares. There’s no way in hell I’m letting this happen.

Jeremy: That must be the news she was talking about.

Phyllis: Of course. Of course. She was gloating in advance. This was her “news.”

[ Sighs heavily ] I’m just thinking of my future family events, how I have to sit there and make nice and ta– oh, I’m not even gonna be invited. Forget it. I will never see my daughter again. I will never have a relationship with my daughter again. I am not letting this happen! This will not be ignored, jeremy! This evil must be eradicated.

Jeremy: Okay. Well, then it’s a good thing our plan will stop diane dead in her tracks.

Diane: [ Gasps ] Is that what I think it is?

Jack: Your dress for the gala, madam.

Diane: Oh, thank you so much. I can’t wait for you to see me in it.

Jack: Neither can I.

Diane: Ooh. Keep looking at me like that, and we’ll never make it out the door. But it is a once-in-a-lifetime event.

Jack: You will not believe how many people have come back to town for this little shindig.

Diane: A night to remember. I mean, just think — a charming little spot on the map grew up to be genoa city. You never know.

Jack: Actually, I was thinking about a celebration a little closer to home. I know we’ve had our chance, the two of us, to celebrate our good fortune. We told summer and kyle. We told my sister traci. I was wondering how you might feel about telling a few more people.

Diane: How many more?

Jack: I was thinking everyone.

Diane: Jack —

Jack: It is the perfect time and place. Everyone we know and love will all be there.

Diane: Genoa city’s bicentennial?

Jack: What is more glamorous than a gala?

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] Some people have minor joint pain plus stomach problems.

Diane: Are you sure you want to go so public with our news?

Jack: Why not go big? All our friends and family will be there, elegantly dressed, in a partying mood, celebrating the past, moving on to the future. Let’s be the future. Come on. We’ll be the toast of the town.

Diane: And then we’ll have to face our critics.

Jack: Yeah, well, we’ll do that together.

Diane: Okay. Let’s do it.

Jack: Something’s still bothering you.

Diane: Phyllis came by here earlier.

Jack: Really? What did she want?

Diane: Well, she said she was meeting summer, and then she got a text from summer saying they were meeting somewhere else.

Jack: Well, I think it’s normal for summer to have second thoughts about inviting her here.

Diane: No, it was just so soon after seeing phyllis and jeremy together, you know? And her behavior was really off. Well, more off than usual. Jack, I don’t know what it is, but I am pretty sure the two of them are up to something.

Phyllis: I mean, I know exactly what this woman’s gonna do. She’s gonna make this whole gala about her and her engagement. She’s gonna celebrate. “Hey, I’m back from the dead, and I’m also the newest member of the abbott family,” with this big, disgusting ring on her finger.

Jeremy: She is insufferable. I mean, the fact that she’s being so unjustly rewarded despite all the crimes she’s committed and all the lies she’s told.

Phyllis: I don’t understand this. I don’t understand why I’m the only one who sees her for who she is. I don’t get it.

Jeremy: You’re not alone anymore, phyllis. You got me. And if she’s planning this big announcement tonight, I think it’s only right that we make our move, as well, to balance the scales of justice.

Phyllis: Okay. I mean, everything has to go as planned. It has to because if this blows up in my face…

Jeremy: That’s the beautiful thing about a masquerade ball. I can work my magic, and no one will even know I was there.

Amanda: Please direct your attention to exhibit 107, a legally binding document signed by mr. Devon hamilton.

Ms. Shannon: Thank you.

Amanda: You will see his clear and easily recognizable signature where he agreed to the merger. Now, while it is regrettable that mr. Hamilton has had a change of heart about the agreement he signed —

Jill: Oh, good. This is the right room. It is a maze out there. I had to leave breadcrumbs to find my way back home. Please tell me I’m not too late.

Amanda: Um, ms. Shannon, this is ms. Abbott.

Jill: I’m sorry I couldn’t make it earlier. It couldn’t be helped.

Ms. Shannon: Fine. Have a seat, ms. Abbott.

Jill: Oh, no, no, no, no. I will not need a chair because this won’t take any time at all.

Lily: Jill, what are you talking about?

Jill: I’m about to solve this whole mess right now.

worst nighttime symptoms

Chelsea: What if we used a game format to help people navigate all sorts of interpersonal conflict? You know, um, small challenges get bigger, more complex as the player gains more skills.

Daniel: Yeah. No, no, no. I love it. Conquering fears like public speaking or job interviews, first dates.

Chelsea: Dealing with a difficult boss, um, or a challenging mother.

Daniel: Oh, yeah. No, no, no. I’m not gonna be able to help you with either of those scenarios.

Chelsea: Yeah, me neither. I guess we’re going to have to do some research, try to figure out what it’s like to be raised by a difficult, nontraditional, maternal type.

Daniel: That’s gonna be tough.

Chelsea: I really think if we put our heads together, we can come up with a magical world where we help people navigate certain pitfalls and help them come out the other side.

Daniel: Thanks to omega sphere.

Chelsea: Yeah. So, let’s start changing the world, one player at a time.

Daniel: I’m in.

Jack: I am not gonna let phyllis or stark or anyone else rob us of this happiness. We are safe. Our security team is in place as long as we want them. We have nothing to fear.

Diane: I know, but —

Jack: We deserve this. I want to shout this from the rooftops, don’t you?

Diane: You’re right. I can’t wait to tell the world that I am finally becoming mrs. Jack abbott.

Jack: Good. You’re not gonna worry about the naysayers?

Diane: No. But it’s kyle. And we agreed to hold off on making our announcement until after we were sure he was on board with our marriage.

Jack: We did, but I’m sure he’s on board by now.

Diane: Yeah, but we don’t know for certain. Have you talked to him? I haven’T.

Jack: Well, not about that specifically. I’m sure he’s just worried it’s too good to be true. His parents are finally getting married. How could he not approve? Once he sees how happy we are, he’ll know it’s the right thing.

Diane: Aww.

[ Doorbell rings ] Does anybody know we’re here?

Jack: I’ll handle it. Mamie.

Mamie: Hello, jack.

Jack: Welcome home.

Mamie: [ Laughing ] Ohh! What a lovely thing to hear.

Jack: Come in! Come in! Come in!

Mamie: Nothing’s changed. When was the last time you redecorated?

Jack: Ah, admittedly, it’s been a little while.

Mamie: Oh, hello — diane jenkins? I thought that you —

Diane: Uh, it’s — it’s a long story. Lovely to see you, mamie.

Jack: So, I assume you’re here for the gala?

Mamie: I am. I wouldn’t miss it. I booked my hotel reservations months ago —

Jack: Oh, no, no, no hotel. I won’t hear of it. You’ll stay here. Ashley and traci are in town right now. They would love to see you.

Mamie: [ Chuckles ] I can’t wait to see them.

Diane: You know, you two have a lot to catch up on. I, um — I have an errand to run. I’ll see you later.

[ Door closes ]

Ms. Shannon: You’re here to resolve the situation?

Jill: That’s right.

Ms. Shannon: Well, actually, that’s my job.

Jill: Well, I beg your pardon, but I am the woman who set this whole thing in motion. So, perhaps I should be the one to end it.

Lily: Jill, what’s going on?

Amanda: There seems to be a new development in our case.

Jill: Perhaps this would be the perfect time for a break.

Ms. Shannon: After the one we

just took?

Jill: Oh. Well, I know it’s extraordinary, but how about a mini break? Okay? And then I can explain things to everyone.

Christine: We’re just returning from a recess.

Ms. Shannon: If there was a chance to avoid litigation so you could seek a mutually beneficial outcome, you should have done it before you started arbitration.

Jill: You know what? You are absolutely right. Devon, lily, this is urgent. And this could change the future for all of us. – It’s the birthday girl! – Let’s invite jacques

Devon: I mean, I’m willing to listen, so what do you have to say, jill?

Jill: Why don’t we discuss this elsewhere, somewhere more casual, a little more friendly?

Lily: [ Sighs ] Okay. Where do you want to go?

Devon: Hang on a second. Just — can you tell us what this is about, please?

Christine: If I could just have a few words with my client?

Amanda: Yeah. Lily, let’s discuss what our next steps should be.

Jill: I want to thank you so much, both of you, for your long hours and your expertise. And as much as I love you, at this juncture, your work is no longer required.

Christine: This is where i have to object.

Jill: Christine, this is all off the record. Nobody’s gonna strong-arm anybody. I’m not gonna brainwash devon into handing over the keys to the kingdom.

Amanda: Jill, are you sure about this?

Jill: I would bet my company on it. You two, what do you say we give this one more try without the attorneys? Oh, come on. If it doesn’t work out, we can get the arbitrator back, and this complete stranger can decide your futures for you. It’s up to you.

Devon: I — yeah. Okay. Sure. Sure.

Christine: Devon.

Devon: I want to hear what she has to say, so… I’ll fill you in at the gala tonight.

Jill: Thanks, christine. I’ll see you at the party later.

Christine: Alright. Good luck.

Devon: Thank you.

Jill: Okay. Shall we? I’m buying.

Devon: Yeah. Just text me where, and I’ll meet you.

Jill: Yep. Talk to you later.

Jack: I am so happy to see you. How long has it been?

Mamie: Oh, it’s been many, many years since I’ve been in genoa city.

Jack: I got your note when dina died. Thank you. That meant a lot to me.

Mamie: She was a decent woman, jack. Just not a mother. I hope you found it in your heart to forgive her.

Jack: You talked to me a lot about forgiveness back in the day. Yeah. Yeah, we found peace before dina died. I took it pretty hard. Seems like I’ve just come out of it lately. Last few months.

Mamie: Hmm. You’re in love, jackie.

Jack: Wow. You can still read me like a book.

Mamie: Diane?

Jack: Yes, diane. Oh, I want you to meet the woman she has become. She… it’s caused a few problems in the house.

Mamie: [ Laughs ] Ashley?

Jack: Of course you’d remember that.

Mamie: I just know a thing or two about loving somebody not everyone cares for. But that does not matter. You are in love and you’re happy. And I can see that. Now, that’s all that matters.

Diane: I hope I didn’t keep you waiting long.

Kyle: Oh, not a problem. You’ve been busy, a lot on your hands.

Diane: [ Chuckles ] Literally.

Kyle: You must be looking forward to tonight.

Diane: I am.

Kyle: It’ll be nice to go out knowing stark is still overseas.

Diane: Yes, that’s something I need to talk to you about.

Kyle: He’s back?

Diane: He never even left.

Kyle: You’ve got to be kidding me. Phyllis said that he —

Diane: Well, phyllis says a lot of things.

Kyle: No. I checked. He chartered a jet.

Diane: It was just a carefully planned scheme to get jack and I back home.

Kyle: Phyllis?

Diane: Yeah.

Kyle: Really? She knows how dangerous that man is.

Diane: Well, and guess who i saw today with the never-even-left stark. None other than your mother-in-law.

Kyle: [ Sighs ] Okay.

Diane: What are you doing?

Kyle: Letting summer know we have more irrefutable proof that her mother has teamed up with a monster.

Phyllis: You’re confident? So, let me get this straight. You think you’re just gonna walk into the party and then walk out and no one’s gonna be the wiser?

Jeremy: There’s nothing to worry about. It’s what I do.

Phyllis: I have a lot on the line here.

Jeremy: Okay. I’ll be keeping a careful eye on you behind the mask.

Phyllis: Okay. If any element of this plan goes awry —

Jeremy: I am aware that things need to happen with clockwork precision. And it will.

Phyllis: This is life or death for me.

Jeremy: Okay, we are both taking huge risks here, okay? And I’m not going back to prison.

[ Cellphone pings ] Who’s that?

Phyllis: [ Voice breaking ] It’s my daughter.

Jeremy: Hey. What’s going on? Are you having a change of heart? I’m not a doctor.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Music

Devon: Amanda. I bet you had a lot of fun today going after me and tearing me down in front of everyone, didn’t you?

Amanda: If you think that, you can add me to the long list of things that you will never understand.

Devon: Well, did i misunderstand when you said that watching me fail was one of the perks of your job?

Amanda: [ Scoffs ] You know, every time I had to point out your flaws, highlight your shortcomings, put your lack of loyalty on display, it was a painful reminder of the pain that you caused me because I failed at choosing a good man, one that would respect me and love me and not humiliate me in such a hurtful way. I mean, abby. Abby, of all people. You know, I have to admit, i never saw that coming. And cheating? I remembered how broken you were when elena cheated on you with nate. I helped you pick up the pieces, remember? I thought you didn’t give your heart so easily to anyone. But here we are. So, no, devon, I take no pleasure in any of this. I hate remembering how deeply you hurt me. You know, I really — I thought you were a good man. So, I’m thankful now because I know the truth.

Diane: Jack said the security detail is still in place. You’ve got coverage at home, at work —

Kyle: No, no matter where stark is, he is a danger to us all. We have to figure out a way to get rid of him.

Diane: You sound like your father.

Kyle: We both want what’s best for you. Thanks for letting me know.

Diane: Yeah, and there’s something else I’d like to talk to you about.

Kyle: The engagement.

Diane: I was wondering if you’d given any more thought to the fact that your parents are finally getting married.

Kyle: Maybe we should discuss this together, the three of us, so there’s no misunderstandings.

Mamie: So, you’re living in this big place all by yourself?

Jack: Uh, not exactly. Ashley is living here with her husband, cole, and, uh…diane.

Mamie: Diane?

That diane?

Jack: One and the same.

Mamie: You married her.

Jack: Uh, we’re thinking about it.

Mamie: Well, congratulations. I guess.

Jack: [ Chuckles ]

Mamie: Well, ashley’s probably happy as a clam that you’re about to marry diane, isn’t she?

Jack: Oh, yeah, she — she’s just thrilled. I was hoping I could get them to sign a peace treaty, but that doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen.

Mamie: Sounds like fun.

Jack: Oh, yeah, it’s a regular barrel of monkeys, mame.

Billy: Hey, jack! You get my voicemail? Let’s talk!

Mamie: [ Gasps ]

Billy: Mamie? Oh, my goodness, mamie.

Mamie: Billy abbott, look at you, all grown up! You have your father’s eyes.

Billy: Oh, my goodness. Come here. It is so great to see you. Everyone is gonna be thrilled that you are here.

Mamie: Like your mother?

Billy: She’ll be pretty far down that list.

Mamie: Mm. How is she?

Billy: She is about the same as she’s always been.

Mamie: Mnh, that’s too bad.

Billy: [ Laughs ]

Jack: Mamie, your room is ready. If you need anything else, you let me know. The place is yours.

Mamie: Thanks, jackie. I can manage.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Mamie: Wow. It feels like home.

Billy: Did you know this was happening?

Jack: I had no idea. She just showed up. She’s here for the gala.

Billy: Well, finally a reason to go to the gala.

Jack: Is the purpose of your visit — does it have anything to do with my job offer?

Billy: Yes, it does, jack. Put me in. I’m ready.

Jack: Wait. At jabot? Are you serious? I know you left chancellor-winters to get away from the business world.

Billy: Yeah, I know, but I’ve been — been thinking a lot about this, and, uh, it feels like the right time. You know, with everything that I’ve seen and everything that I’ve learned, I actually think I’ll do the old man proud this time around. You know, mamie says I have his eyes, so I feel like that’s a good start.

Jack: There has been a change in you. I think it has something to do with hanging around chelsea.

Billy: Why do you say that?

Jack: I don’t know. You’re more mature, more centered, more thoughtful.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Well, maybe I finally figured out what I want to do when i grow up.

Jack: Oh, no, no, no, no, don’t pass over this with a joke. I mean it. You feel like you’ve changed?

Billy: I don’t know. You know, I’ve shared a little bit with you about everything that chelsea has been going through with her anxiety and her depression, you know? She’s been through hell, and I’ve been beside her the whole way. And, uh, you see something like that up close, the real life and death of it, you quickly realize that if it doesn’t destroy you, it makes you stronger. And I hope that chelsea and i both come out on the right side of that.

Jack: I could not be happier for you — or for me!

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Everything that you’ve been through — and you’ve been through a lot…

Billy: Yeah.

Jack: …Brought you back to jabot. Welcome home, billy.

Billy: You have no idea how much that means to me.

[ Hand pats ]

Jeremy: That text must have disturbed you because you haven’t answered my question. Are you in or out?

Phyllis: [ Sniffles, sighs ] If we go through with this… my entire life will change. Every day will be about keeping this secret, the biggest secret I’ve ever kept in my life.

Jeremy: Now you’re incapable of telling a few lies?

Phyllis: Not like this. This is next-level.

Jeremy: Now, if you can’t go through with this, tell me now because this is your final chance to call it off.

Phyllis: Uh, I have to go. Relapsing ms isn’t the only thing I have going on.

Lily: Jill, we have been through hell the past few months, and you can just make everything go away?

Jill: Oh, not everything. Some things I’ll leave up to you. But I can’t tell you how happy i was to learn that the arbitrator had not made her decision yet.

Lily: Yeah, well, things were actually going really well for our side.

Jill: Yeah, I got that impression. And you’re welcome to go back there, but not until you’ve heard me out.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Okay.

Devon: Did I miss anything?

Jill: No, you’re right on time.

Devon: Alright. Well, what is this about, jill?

Jill: I’ve reached a decision — mutually beneficial.

Diane: I’ll be the judge of that.

Lily: Okay, a decision? I mean, shouldn’t we talk about this before we bring it to the other side?

Jill: When you hear what i have to say, there won’t be any more sides.

Devon: Well, let’s hear what you have to say.

Jill: Okay. The ipo is dead. We’re not going forward with it. The company will remain a private entity.

Lily: Um… [ Laughs ] What? You just changed your mind, just like that?

Jill: Just like that. Yes. And since your sticking point was going public, I hope you’ll change your mind just like that. And then maybe the two of you can find a way to be a family again.

Billy: So, I got some thoughts, some ideas about new directions that we can take this thing.

Jack: Uh, write them down, okay? I definitely want to talk about them, just not tonight. There are too many things going on tonight.

Billy: Okay. What — what is going on? You look like you got something up your sleeve.

Jack: I haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.

Billy: Oh, yeah? You might want to turn down the wattage of that smile a little bit.

[ Door closes ] Okay. I’m gonna take off. I’ll let you all get ready. Thank you again.

Jack: Thank you.

Billy: I will see you all tonight.

Diane: Yeah. Bye, billy.

Kyle: See you later.

[ Door opens ]

Jack: So, that thing you had to take care of was seeing kyle?

Diane: Yes. I wanted to find out how he feels about our engagement.

Jack: And?

Kyle: I wanted to speak to both of you at the same time.

Jack: By all means, speak from the heart.

Phyllis: Hey, summer. I got your text, obviously.

Summer: You got here fast.

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, of course. The last conversation was tense. Everything is tense between us. I hate it that we can’t talk anymore.

Summer: It was pretty unforgettable, right? That last conversation?

Phyllis: Was it?

Summer: Yeah. You were warning me and kyle that jeremy stark was off to europe to track down jack and diane. But guess where he really was. He was right here in town. Pretty sure he never left. And I don’t want to hear any more excuses from you. I just have one question. Even with our relationship on the verge of total destruction, did you seriously lie straight to my face? I got this mountain bike for only $11. Dealdash.Com the fair and honest bidding site. This kitchenaid mixer sold for less than $26. This I-pad sold for less than $43. And this playstation 5 sold for less than a dollar. I won these bluetooth headphones for $20. I got these three suitcases for less than $40. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. I’m amber, I’ve lost 128 pounds with golo,

Daniel: Chelsea, it is an honor to be working with you. I mean it. You know, we’ve both been on some rocky roads. Life has thrown us some curve balls. But, you know, it’s those adventures that take us off the path. Those are the ones that help us learn and grow and get stronger and maybe help a few people along the way.

Chelsea: Yeah. Well, thank you, daniel.

Daniel: [ Chuckles ] You want to thank me, you can thank me by designing a world that no one’s ever imagined before.

Daniel: See you later.

Chelsea: Bye.

Billy: Hey.

Chelsea: Hi!

Billy: Wow, that smile can’t be all for me.

Chelsea: It’s all me!

Billy: Let me guess. Daniel’s omega sphere?

Chelsea: I am a world maker.

Billy: One day it dresses, the next day it’s the universe. That is a hell of a trajectory.

Chelsea: I know! What can I say? Well, what about you? You look like you just won the lottery.

Billy: I think I may have. I’m going back to jabot.

Chelsea: Aww, where you belong.

Billy: Yeah. You know what they say about going home, even if it is the prison I spent half my life trying to escape. How did we go from barely employable to movers and shakers again?

Chelsea: We finally found where we’re meant to be.

Billy: Mm. Think we can handle it?

Chelsea: I do. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this my whole life. I truly think that things are gonna be great for both of us.

Jill: Okay, um, I know that this is a lot to take in all at once.

Devon: Yeah, it really is. But I would like to ask you how you expect us all to work together again after everything that she said.

Lily: Sorry. Everything that I said?

Devon: Yes.

Lily: Devon, I wasn’t in a vacuum. You had some choice words to say to me, too.

Devon: Okay. How about after everything you’ve done?

Lily: What have I done? What, I had the audacity to hold you to a contract? You’re right. I’m very childish.

Devon: No, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about stabbing me in the back.

Lily: Oh, my god.

Devon: And hiring my ex. You hired amanda.

Lily: Right.

Devon: And how about the way you have a problem with how i grieve or honor our father?

Lily: Oh, here we go. Because everything I do revolves around your feelings. You are so selfish.

Jill: Stop it. Stop it, both of you! We cannot continue to let everything fall apart this way. It is breaking my heart. This is our work. We are family. It’s our world. God, I wish I had a time machine so I go back to before I made this ipo an issue.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Yeah, so do I.

Devon: We can’t, though, jill.

Jill: Well, then what is gonna happen if we can’t forgive each other and learn to work together?

Devon: I don’t see a way that I could ever do that.

Phyllis: I hope you never know what it’s like for your child to turn their back on you.

Summer: You joined forces with a dangerous felon.

Phyllis: Really? Where’d you hear that? Oh. Diane, right?

Summer: [ Scoffs ] But you are working with stark. Right, mom? Aren’t you? I don’t even know who you are anymore.

Phyllis: I am your mother. That’s who I am. Your mother. I would do anything in this world to keep you protected and safe.

Summer: So you use me to deliver your lies so that you and stark can get revenge on kyle’s mom.

Phyllis: To protect you.

Summer: By putting me in harm’s way?

Phyllis: Everything that I do for you, every single thing that I do for you, summer, is because I love you and I want to keep you safe and protected.

Summer: This isn’t love. This is traumatizing. You are hurting me and everyone that I love. So, I need you to stop or I need you gone before someone gets really hurt.

[ Sighs ]

Jack: Whatever you have to say, whatever your feelings are about our relationship, your mother and I want to hear it.

Kyle: I’ve been thinking a lot about this, about your history, together and apart, and what your decision means for everyone in your lives and how this will affect our future.

Diane: I know. It’s — it’s — it’s a lot.

Kyle: Mm. The road to true love — it never did run smooth. You’ve had your fair share of obstacles and interferences and acts of god and poor decisions, but here you are now, ready to begin again. You love each other.

Jack: Yes, very much.

Kyle: You’ve proven that, time after time, and you’ve accepted and forgiven each other. And the circumstances of your love story are beyond extraordinary. So, who am I to stand in your way? And what more can I say but i hope you make each other very happy. You deserve it.

Diane: [ Sighs ] So, you’re okay with us getting married?

Kyle: When I think about when I was a kid, this is all I ever wanted, so of course you have my blessing.

Diane: Aww.

Jack: Fantastic. Ahh!

Diane: Aww.

Kyle: Come here, mom.

Diane: Thank you.

[ Knocking on door ]

Phyllis: Oh, god. I’m in. Let’s do it. Oh, we’re gonna make this the party they never forget.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

natalie, this is thinly sourced. This is unpublishable. This is dangerously close to libel. Should ask gregory to help with it? No, you shouldn’t ask him. He’s not available to — to help you. And it’s not his job to help you. Can you please, natalie, fix this and get it back to me before it lands us in court?

[ Sighs ] Well, that wasn’t uncomfortable. Yeah, well, I don’t have time to be nice. What’s up?

[ Chuckles ] Dinner plans — you, me, port charles grill? Oh! I’m sorry. I f-forgot. I’m sorry. Well, that’s not like you. What’s up? Hi. Uh, gregory chase. I was wondering if dr. Park was available right now. And if not, I need to make an appointment with him at his earliest convenience. Well, you already have an appointment with him next month, professor chase. Yeah, I know, I know. But I’m experiencing some new symptoms, and others are worsening. Dad? Trina. How are you? I’m okay. I have no idea how to act around you. Hey, thanks for letting me stay with you and kevin, grandmother. Uncle sonny’s place is getting crowded. Yeah, we’re happy to help. We like having you and charlotte at the apartment. Yeah. And how lucky is it, too, that there’s an extra room for the baby? It’s a perfect solution to all of esme’s problems. Spencer, don’t get too far ahead of yourself here, okay? Because esme may hate this idea. Why should she? She should want what’s best for her son.

[ Footsteps approaching ] No better place than staying with his family. Laura, I-I thought we agreed that you could visit me and ace, but he can’T. I’m just gonna have a sauvignon blanc. Okay, johnny? Nina, I’m glad I found you. Has something happened to sonny?

[ Playing chords ] Working on a new song?

[ Sighs ] So far I’ve got about three verses on regret. It’s garbage. Brook lynn quartermaine does not create garbage. You’re just being nice. I’m being honest. I love your songs. I love a lot of things when it comes to you. Like spending time with you, talking to you. Really? Yeah, and I miss that, brook lynn. I miss us. I miss us, too. Then why don’t we do something about it? Chase, wait. There’s something you don’t know.

[ Sighs ] Terry. The ethics committee is still meeting? How long is it gonna take them to decide whether I can still work? Portia’s in there now speaking on your behalf. We want her to take a long time. But, really, what can she say to convince the committee that I’m not a liability to G.H. Or my patients? No one thinks you’re a liability.

[ Sighs ] Ah. It’s okay. How’d it go?


We broke up for a reason. You didn’t tell me that dante asked you to write a letter to the ccrb, and then you held off writing it until after the board made their decision. Why should you forgive that? I mean, I-I was invested in your singing career. Okay, I-I put that ahead of you wanting to be reinstated as a cop. I betrayed your trust. But you finally wrote your letter of support, and now the ccrb is reconsidering their decision. Does that mean you forgive me? It’s gonna take a long time for me to trust you again. But I’m willing to try. Are you? You just spent the afternoon with willow. That must have been hard. What does that have to do with us? Oh, let’s face it, chase. Okay, you and willow have quite the history. You’re emotionally all over the place, and now you’re — you’re coming in here, you’re wanting to take life with both hands, and — and I’m around. Whoa. You are more than just around. Okay? You are in my head constantly. I can’t stop thinking about you, about what we had. And I want it back. Don’t you? Nothing’s happened to sonny, so far as I’m aware. Is there a reason for your concern? Well, you’re the police commissioner.

[ Chuckles ] Okay? So I just — I-I just automatically thought that there was an accident, but, yes, I overreacted. You can blame it on, you know, the stress and worried about willow, everything going on in my life. And if you ask my staff at crimson and at the metro court, they’ll — they’ll all say that, you know, I’m — I’ve been on edge and I’m always thinking about the — uh, did you want to ask me something? Forget it. You seem like you have a lot on your mind. Wait. Are you on duty? No. Then order a drink. Talk to me.

[ Sighs ] It’s about curtis. I… I hoped you could tell me… is he okay? Well, for whatever it’s worth, uh, I don’t know how to act around you, either. Does that help? A little. Um, I-I still haven’t come to a decision about getting a dna test. I’ve been really busy with, like, school and stuff. You take all the time you need with school… and stuff. Thanks. I mean, it’s really weird running into you. I feel like I used to see my family all the time. And ever since the wedding, I’ve basically been by myself. How’s that been? Sometimes good. Sometimes not so great. You haven’t seen your mother since she told you the truth? Just once. But it didn’t really go well. Have you seen her? A few times. I gotta be honest — I just can’t seem to… forgive her? Me, too. The committee seemed very open-minded about my support of you. Could you tell which way they were leaning? It was very formal. They were asking me questions about your history here, so I spoke on your professionalism and how you take care with each and every one of your patients, your knowledge and skill as a nurse. And they said they’ve already spoken with finn and frida navarro. Oh, they also said that they got some letters from patrick drake, uh, robin scorpio-drake, griffin munro… and epiphany. They didn’t say they received anything from her. But my union rep said they reached out to her. Maybe epiphany hasn’t turned in her letter. Well, what is the committee gonna think? Epiphany was my mentor. In a lot of ways, she still is. If they don’t know that she supports me, I don’t see how I have a chance. It appears that several of my reporters have forgotten how to check facts and clear legal. Perhaps they are missing the calm influence and guidance of professor chase. Perhaps you are, too. Which is why I wanted him on my editorial board. But that ship has sailed. Change the subject, please. Hmm. Did you confront gregory about why he no longer teaches at pcu? Yes, I confronted him, and I sure as hell wish I didn’T. Hey, finn, I didn’t see you there. Yeah, no, the ethics committee is almost done with their meeting. I was just on my way up to see if they made a decision. Elizabeth will be glad you came. Of course. Thank you for your help. Do you still need a — uh, directions? No. No. My — my son knows the way. Yeah. It’s nice to see you, too, esme. Hi, handsome! How you doing today? I missed you.

[ Smooches ]

[ Laura chuckles ] What is he doing here? Esme, we have wonderful news for you and the baby. Really? Well, that would be a change. After careful consideration, da scorpio has agreed to drop the charges against you, esme. You’re gonna be released from spring ridge. The da could still refile the charges at a later time, but you can raise your son outside of prison. Hello! Earth to esme. Did you hear me? Uh, I did. Um… but it doesn’t matter. Why not? Because ace and i aren’t leaving. Oh, esme. Wait — ah.


Before the wedding, I felt like my mom and i could talk to each other about anything. I mean, we fought before, but she’d just tell me that it’s — it’s part of the mother/daughter contract. I just never thought she would keep a huge secret from me, that she doesn’t know if my dad is my father… or you. When me and your mother reconnected here in port charles, she promised me that there’d be no more secrets. So she blindsided me, too. What bothers me most is that she didn’t trust me. When marshall was first diagnosed, he didn’t trust that my mother could handle his illness. My brother and I, we were — we were young, and I knew he was protecting us, but… those years were lost. But you and marshall are close now, right? Yeah. But that sure is a long time without a father. At least you’re talking. Yeah, we’re talking. Trina, you have every right to be upset with your mother. I can’t help but wonder, how long are you gonna go without talking to your mom? The committee is not out to get you on a technicality. A missing letter of support from my mentor isn’t a technicality. It’s a red flag.

[ Sighs ] Isn’t epiphany on her campus visit at johns hopkins? Yes, that’s right. That’s the school that she got accepted to. She’s probably meeting with her professors, shadowing a resident. I-I mean, it makes perfect sense that she wouldn’t have a chance to write the letter for you yet. She might not even have gotten the request. Yeah, right, I didn’t even think about that. Okay, thanks. I’m gonna go grab some coffee, get some air. You want anything? I’m good, thanks. I’m fine. Keep positive thoughts, okay? Thanks.

[ Exhales sharply ] You know, as nervous as I am for myself and my future, I am so happy for epiphany. And I’m not surprised one bit that she got into johns hopkins. She’s the best nurse I know. And she’s gonna make such a great doctor. It’s really an inspiration that she had the courage to follow her dream, and now it’s coming true. Gives a person reason to hope, right? Diane: What did you find out? Did something happen at the university? I don’t think it’s my place to say. Alexis, clearly, something is upsetting you. When last we spoke about gregory, he was an asset that you wanted for the invader. You weren’t gonna take no for an answer. So is that no longer the case? It’s not about

the invader anymore. It’s about his well-being. What about his well-being? I don’t know what it is, but I think there’s something wrong. And I think… he may have a drinking problem. I mean, that might be the reason he’s no longer working at pcu. Finn: Hey, look who I found. Hi. I hope nothing serious brought you in. No, no, I just — I wanted to wish you luck with the ethics committee. I’ll be rooting for you. Well, thank you. You know, when everyone started finding out that I helped nikolas keep esme captive, I-I just assumed people would turn their backs on me. I just can’t believe how giving my friends have been. Nikolas put you in an impossible situation. And you came forward, despite the potential consequences, even after I tried to convince you otherwise. Yeah, part of me thinks I should have listened. Esme, this is

very good news. This is crazy. Esme, spring ridge is a prison. It’s not a motel. You can’t simply decide to extend your stay. I think I understand why you might be feeling nervous about this. All — all I’ve ever known is life in a hospital and — and prison. Ace and I have no — no family, no friends, no money. Wh– where are we supposed to go? Esme, you don’t have to worry. I-I’ve made arrangements for you to stay above kelly’S. It’s a local coffee shop in town. My former sister-in-law owns it, esme, and there’s a room available for you. And I’m willing to cover your rent while you find work. You would do that for me? Yes. You have a difficult transition ahead, and grandmother and I want to make sure that it’s smooth. Is that true? Is that the only reason your grandson wants to help me? Spencer wants what’s best for the baby, esme. And is there enough space for me and ace in this room? Don’t minimize what I did. I was selfish. I didn’t want you returning to the pcpd. But I realize it’s about more than that. You needed my help to take linc down so that he didn’t have the power to harass or control any other artist. Blaze only puts up with him because she didn’t want him to ruin her career, as do other singer/songwriters that he manages. He had to be stopped. You wanted to protect the other women so that linc didn’t mess with their heads or destroy their self-confidence. And that is brave, brook lynn. Chase, you are so wrong about me.


Do you have any proof thatgregory has a drinking problem or that the pcu fired him because of it? No. It’s just that I-I ran into him at the metro court, and he was slurring his words. He was stumbling. He was using the wall to hold himself up. Maybe he’d been overserved. That’s been known to happen. It was 11:00 in the morning, and the bartender hadn’t served him anything. Well, then, he probably wasn’t drunk. Maybe he came in that way. Okay, clearly, you are worried. I get it. But one unsteady morning does not an alcoholic make. It’s the culmination of things. He’s been hiding something really important from me for months. He lost his job at pcu, and then he’s — he’s wobbly at 11:00 in the morning? Counselor, you are engaging in wild speculation. There could be a thousand reasons, a thousand explanations. But if you are right and he does have a drinking problem, you are uniquely qualified to help him. Who knows better than me, right? Nobody. But now the question is, is gregory going to confide in you, considering he knows you went behind his back, contacted the dean at pcu to check up on him? Yeah, good chance gregory is never gonna confide in me about anything ever again. Which is why I’m wondering if I should reach out to someone else who can help him. You did the right thing. You did the honorable thing. I regret trying to talk you out of it.

[ Sighs ] You weren’t the only one. Scott thought I was crazy. But once I decided to go through with it, I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. And, honestly, no matter what happens, it’s better than carrying around a guilty secret.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. The ethics committee is ready for me. I got you. Okay. Okay. Oh, there’s a particularly anxious patient I want to check on. I want to make sure mrs. Walsh is good to go in the event I don’t work here anymore. It’s not gonna come to that. Here’s hoping. Don’t worry, son. Elizabeth will be fine. I mean, look at her — confident, composed, thinking about her patients, even now. Yeah. Yeah, that’s her. You know, but, dad, there’s a part of me that wants to rush into that conference room again and continue to defend her. You don’t think elizabeth would appreciate it? I think she would think I was being overprotective, so I’m doing something different this time. What’s that? Listening. Listening to her. Following her lead. Obstinance was always a dominant trait in our family. You’re proving that change is possible.

[ Chuckles ] I’m trying. Too early to determine the results. Esme, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. Okay? We’re just here making the offer so you can have the opportunity to build a life for yourself and for your child. By sticking me and ace in a room above some coffee shop? No, unfortunately, there isn’t enough space for both you and the baby, but that’s okay because he can stay with grandmother and myself just while you get settled. You are not separating me from my baby. Esme, no, I just want what’s best for my brother. You understand that? No, no, no. Y-you’re not gonna take my baby away from me. There we go.

[ Stammers ] Losing your memory has not changed you much. What does that mean? It means that the old esme put her own desires and self-interest above everything else. And now here we are, hand in hand, trying to offer you help and support. And having just admitted you have zero resources of your own, you’re shoving it away. You’re putting your own desires and self-interest above everyone else’s, including your own son’s right now. I want to be with you, chase. I didn’t know you can miss someone as much as I’ve missed you. I just want to run into your arms and have you hold me forever. Then why can’t you? I’m not brave, chase. Far from it. And I’d be lying to let you think that I was. What are you talking about?

[ Sighs ] Do you remember I agreed to write a dozen commercial jingles for linc in exchange for him giving me my original songs back? Yes. Never happened. But you got your songs back. Because I signed a non-disclosure agreement. I can’t talk about what linc did to me. And if blaze or some other woman comes forward, I can’t corroborate what they say. I sold out. Well, curtis is still processing what happened to him. You know, he went from being very, very angry to very, very angry and sad. You haven’t been in touch with him? Has tj? I don’t know about tj, but I have been trying to stay away from curtis. Before the wedding, I suspected he might be trina’s father. And you didn’t tell him? I admitted I knew when he confronted me after the wedding. But before then… I was told it wasn’t my place. By whom? Portia. She accused me of meddling in their relationship so I could get curtis back. Well, portia put you in a terrible position. Well, by not saying anything, I did the one thing that destroyed our marriage. I kept another secret from him. But this time, you didn’t have the responsibility to tell him. Your marriage was over for, what, two years? You moved on, jordan. You have moved on from curtis, haven’t you? I can’t even think about forgiving my mom. I’m not saying you gotta forgive her. Hell, in my experience, I know it’s not that simple. I’m still angry at the years I lost away from my father. But at the same time, I’m so thankful for the time that we have together. Marshall and i are stronger because we were able to overcome the distance between us. I can’t believe you’re the one saying this.

[ Laughs ] I can’t believe I’m the one saying this, either. Look, I wanted to be with your mother because… I loved her, but I also loved and wanted to be a part of her family. Despite the grief I-I gave you… I wanted you to be part of my family, too.

[ Sighs ] Trina, do not let what happened come between you and your mom.

[ Footsteps approaching ]


Trina: Mom!

[ Sighs ] I didn’t want to interrupt you two. I know you must have a lot to talk about. Um… uh, this wasn’t planned. We just ran into each other and started talking. I’m glad. I hope the same can be true for — for you and me. Now’s not a good time. I, um… I have to go. Yeah, but, trina, you haven’t ordered. Yeah, um, spencer — he just, um, texted me, so I told him I’d go meet him. Bye.

[ Sighs ] Well, I came to grab some coffee. It’s gonna be a really long night tonight at the hospital. Well, I hope that coffee helps. How’s, uh, marshall doing? Um… I know he was so nervous about his meeting with the geneticist. How did it go? Well, I’d tell you if I could. You’ll have to ask marshall. That information’s private. Marshall is family.

We’re family. At least I hope we still are. Curtis and i are through. I’ve moved on. Mm. That means you’re dating? Moving on doesn’t mean moving on to someone else.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, that’s true, but it helps. Do you know what’s been going on in port charles lately? I work 24/7. I’ll be lucky if my phone doesn’t start blowing up with more emergencies. I mean, I’d love to date my pillow, but I don’t even have time to sleep. Yeah. I think I touched a nerve, didn’t I? So you don’t want a relationship? I don’t know. The end of my marriage to curtis… I never knew I could hurt so much. What curtis and I had before things went wrong was… special, once in a lifetime, you know? I can’t imagine that I’ll ever feel that way again. I’m sorry. I may have moved on, but I still love curtis. I always will. What do you mean, tell someone about gregory? Who are you going to tell? What are you going to tell? You don’t know that gregory is dealing with an alcohol problem. He could argue that you are spreading unfounded rumor. Diane, I’m not gonna say that he was fired from pcu. Well, then what are you going to say? I’m gonna tell them that I’m worried and tell them why. I know that look. I know when you’ve made up your mind. Okay, let’s, um… let’s reschedule dinner for another night. Diane, I’m sorry I forgot. I really am. And I love you, and I appreciate your advice. My advice was to stay out of gregory’s business, but that’s gone the way of the dinosaur. He’s my friend. I know he’s a good man. I wanted him to work here not only because he is a damn good writer with a really unique point of view, but he’s my cheerleader here. He’s my supporter. He’s also my honest appraiser. He makes me better at my job here. He’s truly a good friend, and I want to do the same for him. Friends need to know when to step back. What if this were you and me? What are you talking about? What if you were witnessing me about to get hit by a car? Wouldn’t you try to protect me? I absolutely would. Especially if the situations were even remotely similar, but they’re not. And deep down, you know that. I admire your ability to embrace change I might be able to learn a thing or two from you. Oh? Does this have something to do with what happened between you and alexis? No, no. That’s a relationship that can’t be salvaged. I may be obstinate, but… alexis takes it to a whole other level. Woman will do anything to get her way. Oh.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Excuse me. Something wrong?

[ Ringing continues ] Well, in the spirit of full disclosure, speak of the devil. Do you even know how to take care of a newborn? Have you ever fed a baby? Changed one? Rocked him to sleep? If you had, you wouldn’t dare suggest that a mother be separated from her infant child. We don’t want to separate you from your child, esme. All I’m saying, honey, is that I think when you’re released from spring ridge, you’re gonna find out very quickly how hard it is to take care of a baby all by yourself. Um… it’s okay, hon. We want to support you. We do. That’s why we came here today to make this offer. But I think what we should have done is include you in the planning. So, look, let’s do that right now, okay? You tell me — how can we best support you and ace? Tell us what you need. You’re not gonna like it. At all.


Why is alexis calling you? I don’t know. Uh, been friends a long — long time. Um, it might not — it might not even be about you. Yeah, you’re right. I jumped to a conclusion. Listen, I-I’ll let alexis know I’m not taking sides. Unless that’s what you want. No, no, no. We’re all grown-ups here. There’s no reason to act like children in the schoolyard.

[ Sighs ] Listen, I’m gonna go. Uh… let me know how it goes with elizabeth. Yeah, I’ll, uh… I’ll see you, dad. I don’t have answers for you. I wish I did. But what happened between us is still too fresh and so painful. I haven’t been able to face aunt stella either. I’m so sorry to hear that. But, curtis, whether you like it or not, we’re married. And don’t you think that we should try to work this out together? I am so sorry that I hid the truth from you. But I’m just not really sure that distance is the answer here. Maybe we could, um… maybe we could try counseling. You don’t get to set the terms. You lied to me over and over again. What do you think? I’m just gonna walk into some therapist’s office and say, “give me communication strategies”? Then I’ll wait. Curtis, I’ll do whatever it takes, whatever you want me to do. Whatever you want me to do to earn your trust back is what I’ll do. But I want to fight. I want to fight for our marriage. But if what you’re telling me is that it’s hopeless and there’s no chance for us, then I’ll listen. Is there hope for us, curtis? I’m afraid it’s more complicated than that. Is it? Curtis. Just tell me if our love for one another is strong enough to get us through this. You still have feelings for curtis? Still? Always. But there’s a difference between love and being in love. Curtis and i were family. There’s a part of us that will always love each other, no matter what happens. That wasn’t a yes or no. Ah.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, oh, see? What did I tell you about work? I need to make a call. Okay, yeah, I have to run off, too. Jordan, if you’re worried about curtis, talk to him. I’m sure he would appreciate it. Good advice. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Hey. Elizabeth: Hi. How’d it go? Well, I think I averted a mini meltdown, so mrs. Walsh gave me this as a thank-you.

[ Chuckles ] What? I’m impressed. I’m impressed by you. And I think the committee will be, too. Do you mind telling me what you said to them? Oh, uh, yeah. Well, at first I was really, really nervous. But then I looked around the room and I realized this is about the health and safety of our patients. It’s not about me. So as clearly as I could, I explained why I helped nikolas and why I treated esme at wyndemere. You know, I’ve told the story many times. It never gets easier. But the more I tell it, the less it haunts me. Because you’re taking responsibility. On your terms, not nik’s or anyone else’S. And no matter what happens, you should be proud. You sold out? Chase, I am so — this wasn’t about stopping linc or protecting other women. This was about you getting your songs back. God, I am such an idiot. Chase, no. I — yes, it was to get my songs back, but it was also a way to get rid of linc. And for you to — to go back to being a cop. Brook lynn, would you stop? Just stop. I’m done with your excuses. I was trying to help you, give you what you wanted. If that were true, why wouldn’t you just tell me sooner?


Not that long ago, you were the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. And now that trust is broken. And I don’t think our love can fix that.

[ Voice breaking ] It can. If you just give it a chance. If you just remember what we mean to each other. Cur… trina, hi. I was in the neighborhood. I wanted to see if the baby settled in okay. Come in. Things didn’t go exactly the way that I hoped that they would. We love our new room, don’t we, ace? Yeah. What’s that? Tell me, brook lynn, if you signed that non-disclosure agreement so that I could stop singing and I could be a cop, if you were so convinced that you were doing the right thing, that you were doing it for me, then why wouldn’t you just tell me? Why make up some story about writing advertising jingles for linc? I’ll tell you why. Because you knew I would be angry and you knew that what you did was wrong. But you were right about one thing. You’re not the person I thought you were. There you go. Much better. You addressed the issues. Legal signed off. Natalie, would you mind taking it down to rewrite? ‘Cause that story should have been run. Thanks. Um, I have your keys. You called finn. I know you’re upset. I — after I specifically asked you not to discuss what’s happening in my life with finn or chase. Thank you for your faith in me. But I’m still scared. What if I get fired? What if this is the end of my time here at general hospital? She’s here. Mm.

[ Door closes ] My part is finished. The committee’s making their decision. Scotch, neat.

[ Sighs ]
