Bill: That smug bitch. Sheila nine toes living in my housem drinking my coffee.

Ridge: Why? Why are you here?

Bill: I missed you. And chen.

Ridge: You’re supposed to be in there getting information from sheila.

Bill: Ah. Thanks for reminding me. There is another reason I’m here. I finally figured out how to get sheila to confess to multiple murders. I’m gonna propose. I’m gonna ask sheila to marry me.

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Lucy! Wow, dad! This is– this is an incredible surprise.

Stephen: Lucy and I were passing through on our way up north and we thought we would catch up. So much has happened since we were here last.

Lucy: Steven told me what thomas did using a voice app to make it look like you– you called cps on him?

Brooke: Yeah.

Stephen: I can’t believe ridge’s own son would sabotage his father’s marriage.

Brooke: He wanted me out of the way.

Stephen: Well, it worked, didn’t it? Ridge left you and went back to taylor.

Brooke: And they’d still be married now if it hadn’t been for steffy. She really stepped up and called her brother out.

Steffy: Yeah, I found it. I’ll get– I’ll go over the fine print and I’ll get back to you, carter, okay? Yeah, thanks.

Hope: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Hope: Um… sorry I had to run the other day, but I… I just really wanted to continue our conversation about your concerns with me and thomas. And I just want to assure you that I–

Steffy: I understand. I know what you’re about to say. But I have to tell you, I was talking to paris the other day and she reminded me about what you said not too long ago. That you were attracted to my brother.

Hope: I never said I was attracted to thomas.

Steffy: You did say my brother was hot.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. That was a comment in passing. Paris– [ Laughs ] She wouldn’t let it go. We needed to get back to work. Okay. I just don’t understand why you’re bringing that up.

Steffy: Because it is my job to know. So, are you attracted to my brother? Do you think he’s hot?

Lucy: Taylor knew and still went through with the wedding?

Brooke: She was completely swept up in the moment. And she only found out the truth right before the ceremony. She was going to tell ridge after. So, I don’t blame her. The dynamics between the three of us were completely different back then.

Stephen: What I don’t understand is how it even got that far. Why didn’t ridge tell you why he was upset? Why didn’t he fight for your marriage?

Ridge: All right, chen, it’s over. We gotta pull him out. He’s lost his marbles. You’re gonna propose to sheila?

Bill: I am. I have no intention of actually marrying that nightmare. The only reason I’m proposing to the bride of frankenstein is to get her out of my life, not keep her more entrenched.

Ridge: And you really think that sheila’s gonna buy a proposal from you?

Bill: I’m the reason that sheila’s out of prison and the only thing keeping her from going back in. She wants a permanent protector. Sheila loves me in her own warped way. Well, I can get her to confess her crimes and therefore, protect our families by showing her my total commitment. What says forever more than a marriage proposal? 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. With the freestyle libre 2 system,

Stephen: I think it’s wonderful that you and taylor chose yourselves over ridge. It’s not easy to break free of old patterns.

Brooke: We realized we have a lot more in common than just ridge. And we have a lot of fun together.

Lucy: It’s a new dawn.

Brooke: Yes, it is. And I am enjoying it.

Stephen: I wonder how ridge feels about all this.

Ridge: So you’re gonna ask sheila to marry you?

Bill: Half the battle with sheila is telling her what she desperately wants to hear or believe about herself. Which is that she is worthy of love, even though she is a murdering psycho.

Ridge: Mm-hmm, and you have convinced her that. You’re a better man than me.

Bill: Don’t be hard on yourself, you know, we all have our gifts. Yours is sewing and mine is clearly being sort of a, you know, undercover james bond.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: Yeah. Way undercover. Anyway, listen, all the– all the accolades you have, you’ve deserved, so good.

Bill: The truth is that I am really run out of my patience and every time that– that that thing touches me, I want to be disinfected by a hazmat crew.

Ridge: Yeesh.

Bill: Sheila needs to go back to prison where she belongs. Families and all of our loved ones can be safe and not have to look over their shoulders anymore.

Ridge: You’re doing a good thing.

Bill: It’s the only thing.

Ridge: All right. Let’s get it done because I would like to get back to my life such as it is.

Bill: Yeah.

Ridge: So when are you proposing?

Bill: Today. I’m gonna get the ring on my way home. I’m gonna slip it on her finger and that will open the door to her deepest, darkest secrets. I’ll get a confession one way or another. And then we’ll trade that ring for a pair of bracelets. Wish me luck.

Ridge: You know what? Sheila spencer has a really nice sound to it.

Bill: Comedy is also not your gift. Sewing. Stick to sewing.

Ridge: I wasn’t kidding, chen.

Hope: I am confused. Steffi, why are you asking if I think thomas is hot?

Steffy: I’m trying to save hope for the future and it is my job to make sure that happens. You and thomas are gonna be working very closely together and it’s gonna be intense. You’re gonna be bouncing ideas off of each other, inspiring each other, being swept up in the moment.

Hope: Are you asking this for me or for thomas?

Steffy: I already talked to thomas about it.

Hope: What, seriously?

Steffy: I just want to make sure that there was no issue. He assured me there isn’T. My brother is making significant changes in his life and I know he’s not obsessed with you anymore.

Hope: Okay, good. I’m– I’m thrilled for him, but steffy, I’m– I’m married and I am fully committed to liam.

Steffy: I get that. I’m not questioning that.

Hope: Okay. So then where is this coming from?

Steffy: I just want you to be honest and realistic with yourself and your attraction to thomas.

Bill: You’re what I need. I love you, sheila.

[ Indistinct radio chatter ]

Ridge: Well, this could get real interesting real fast.

Chen: We’re set up for all of it.

Bill: Hey!

Sheila: Hey! There he is.

Bill: Did you miss me?

Sheila: Always.

[ Laughs ] Where’d you disappear to?

Bill: Well, just because I’ve shared all of me with you doesn’t mean I don’t still have a couple of tricks up my sleeve.

Sheila: [ Laughs ] Oh. (Vo) red lobster’s finer points of fun dining:

Stephen: You and taylor being friends is a– a twist no one could see coming. I bet you ridge is the most surprised of all. Especially since the two of you sent him packing.

Brooke: I wouldn’t call it that. Taylor and I both have children with ridge. So he’s going to be in our lives forever.

Stephen: There’s so much going on. Some good, some… horrifying like sheila carter still being on the loose thanks to bill spencer? And, where’s ridge? Off somewhere licking his wounds instead of being here to protect his family.

Brooke: In all fairness, I’m the one who told ridge to go away and figure out what he wants out of us.

Stephen: And he doesn’t know how to cut a trip short? I’m gonna give him a call. Give him a piece of my mind.

Brooke: Oh, dad! Come on. That’s not necessary.

[ Phone ringing ]

Bill: Could I make myself any clearer?

Ridge: It’s my ex father-in-law. Steve, hey, what’s up?

Stephen: I’m here in L.A. With brooke and you’re nowhere to be seen. Leaving your family alone at a time like this.

Ridge: All right. You– you gotta forgive me. I don’t mean to be rude, but I got a lot on my plate, so this is not a good time.

Stephen: You do remember that sheila carter is a dangerous woman, don’t you?

Ridge: I’m well aware of the sheila carter situation. Yes.

Stephen: Well, that’s not gonna help, is it? If she corners somebody else in an alley at gunpoint.

Ridge: Stephen, this is not a brush off but I gotta go.

Stephen: My daughter deserves better from you.

Ridge: I will do everything in my power to keep the people I love safe. All right? I gotta go. What did bill say?

Bill: Do you know what a difference you have made in my life? Hey, I used to dread walking through that door into this big empty house. Nobody here to greet me with a– with a smile, with a– with a touch. Nobody to welcome me home.

[ Sheila laughs ] But now you’re here for me and only me. You said that I gave you a second chance.

Sheila: You did.

Bill: Well, you’ve done the same for me. My beautiful, incomparable sheila. I love you. Remember that night that we met on the beach and how– how quickly and– and intensely we connected?

Sheila: Yeah. I’ll– I’ll never forget.

Bill: Well, I’ve been proving myself to you ever since. I told you I wouldn’t let you go back to prison and you haven’T. I moved you into my home. I distanced myself from my loved ones, from my family. I stood by you. I defended you.

Sheila: You put everything on the line for me and I am– I– I– I get choked up when I think about it, but…

Bill: What? You can tell me.

Sheila: Okay, well, I’ve– you tell me you love me.

Bill: Yeah.

Sheila: And that you opened up to me. But I’ve got to be honest, there are times that I really– I just don’t know what you’re thinking.

[ Bill laughs ]

Bill: Well, I feel the same way about you. And– and you’re right. I mean, yeah, you know, you’re right. I can, at times, I can be a bit withdrawn. That’s just my nature. Come on now. I mean, I have been incredibly open with you. And I want you to be the same with me. But I know you’re not there yet. You still– you– you hold things very close to the vest. Dark things that frighten you and that– that shame you. I don’t want there to be any barriers between us. I want you to be able to talk to me about anything and know that I’m not going to judge you. You can express whatever it might be about your past and I will never leave you. My commitment is 100% and I want you to know that.

Sheila: I do.

Bill: Wow. Those are just words though, aren’t they? I think you need actions to unlock that box that you have kept hidden away for so long. You know what? I think I have the key.

Sheila: What do you mean?

Bill: I mean that I’m going to show you that you can believe in me. And you can believe in our life together. That’s me before dawn powerwash.

Hope: Okay. I don’t– I don’t know what you want me to say here. Uh– okay fine. Is thomas attractive? Yes. Sure. And I bet plenty of other women in this office would agree. But I’m gonna take a stab in the dark and guess that you aren’t questioning them.

Steffy: They don’t share a child with thomas or have a complicated history.

Hope: All right, but my feelings for your brother are not complicated. They are very straightforward, which is that I needed him to help save my line. So I agreed to work with him and that is as far as it goes. Does that answer your question?

Steffy: Look, I’m just looking out for you and thomas.

Hope: And I appreciate that, but I am telling you there is no reason to be concerned.

Stephen: Ridge practically hung up in my face. What the hell is wrong with him?

Lucy: What did he say when you mentioned how dangerous sheila is?

Stephen: He’s fully aware of the situation. Whatever that means. Where is he exactly?

Brooke: He is taking some much needed time away. And I encouraged him to do so, dad. He did say he’s doing something very important, not only for him but for the entire family.

Stephen: And what does that mean?

Brooke: I’m not sure. But I do know that he loves us very much and there’s nothing he wouldn’t do for our family.

Bill: I’d given up on ever finding–

Chen: I love a good proposal. Think she’ll cry?

Ridge: Bill might. Come on, spencer. Pop the question. We’re all waiting on you.

Bill: Well, I vowed no more. Dollar bill spencer was giving up on love. And then you came along. I went to the beach that night feeling pathetically sorry for myself. So down and so depressed. And then I left feeling like the luckiest man on the planet. I mean, who could have ever predicted that?

Sheila: I have a new life. I– I have the life of freedom because you put everything on the line for me.

Bill: And I would do it all again because you’re worth it. We’re worth it. People say there’s no future for us. Well, I don’t think they know what the hell they’re talking about because I see our future, and I know exactly where you belong.

Ridge: Can you please stop messing around and take the ring out and put it on her finger? What is he doing?

Sheila: Where do I belong, bill?

Bill: Right here. In this house by my side. Forever.

Sheila: Forever?

Bill: Forever. You’ve changed my life in so many ways and I want to do the same for you. Permanently.

[ Sheila laughs ]

Sheila: What are you saying?

Bill: Well, this pales in comparison to your beauty, but it was the best I could do. Please take this ring and wear it as a token of my unabiding love for you.

Sheila: Oh, my god, it’s– it’s gorgeous. I’ve– I’ve never seen anything like it.

Bill: Well, I’ve never seen anything like you. I don’t want you to get away. I want to give you everything you deserve. Now, please make me happier than I have ever been and say that you will be mrs. Bill spencer. That you will be mine completely. No more secrets. No more walls. We can be… as one.

[ Sheila laughs ] Say you’ll marry me. Tell me you’ll be my wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Ooh for me. You shouldn’t have, I didn’t. Hmm? My mistake. Just keep it. Oh, thanks boss. Man. Don’t mind if I do, I could use the boost. I didn’t get much sleep last night. Hmm. Gonna tell me you’re, don’t tell me you arrived. Digging through residential trash cans again for your. Police, after the success of Lady Whistleblowers first installment, I have tipsters lined up around the block to feed me morsels.

Finally, problem now is, what do I call my groupies little ladies? Little blow spare. Bottom line, Mr. Publisher. I have more sources than I know what to do with, which should make you very happy. My little column’s gonna have the spectator back in the black in no time. Ah, from your lips to our accountants is wait.

If you weren’t out tracking down scoops to the wee small hours, what to keep you up last night? Nevermind. I have zero interest in hearing about your sex life. Oh, well it wasn’t my sex life that robbed me of my beauty. It was Gwen’s.

Oh my God.

Oh wow. You are incredible. You’re so yourself,

so no more regrets. About hooking up with me again. I mean, I know Cousin Zander isn’t too thrilled about us being friends with extremely good benefits. You know what, Zander’s opinion doesn’t matter to me anymore, and that’s the last I want talk about him.

I’d much rather talk about you. Alexus and specifically that incredible is the trick that you did with your

this true.

Good morning, Sandra. Um, would you send Alex in, please? Oh, he’s not. I see. Oh yeah, sure. Of course. Send him in instead. Thanks.

Hi. Uh oh, Greaty. It’s so good to see you. Boom. Boom. Oh my goodness. Oh. Says beautiful flowers. Thank you, Adam. C e o oh oh oh. Family business. Could not be in better hands. Oh, thank you. That’s very kind. Well, it’s true, it’s true. Although I was, I was a good surprised that granddad passed over, Alex, to put you in charge.

But yeah, I’m surprised Alex, too, especially, he’s not a happy one. Mm-hmm. , but I think he’s coming around. Speaking of Alex, he should have been here by now. We have a very important meeting this morning with a content syndicator. He’s interested in distributing digital articles from Titans Publications. Oh my gosh.

Listen to you, you, you sound like you’ve been in charge of a major conglomerate for the, I don’t know, your whole life. What can I say? Quick study. . I’m so, so proud of you. Uh, thank you, Brady. That means a lot. Well, I just hope that granddad doesn’t keep you so busy at Titan that you will not have any more time to be my sponsored a.

Don’t be ridiculous. I wouldn’t let this job or anything else keep me away from being there for you. I’m glad to hear that. Just to be honest with you, this whole situation with Chloe is, it’s been, it’s been pretty tough and I’ve been struggling a little bit, Maggie. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Have you been going to meetings?

No, not lately. Nothing. Brady. I know, I know Brady. It’s okay. It’s okay. I’m okay. I will go. I will. Okay.

Hello? Uh, yeah, I guess I’ll accept the charge. Who the hell’s calling me from Statesville? Hello? Hello, Chloe. It’s your old friend Kristen.

Like Sam, through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Good morning, sleepy head, . Good morning. What’s all this? Oh, it’s just breakfast in bed. Well, I can see that, but what’s the occasion? Well, it’s the first night you slept over. Thought that was worth celebrating

and.

I wanted to say thank you for what? For, for giving me, for opening my big mouth to Leo.

Well, aren’t you the least bit curious who Gwen was hooking up with last night? Couldn’t care less. Well, if you don’t care, then you want my knowing. Leo, it was your smoking hot cousin, Alex.

Oh my God.

Well,

I put two into shame actually all day’s. Word, me, millennium. Speaking of work, I think I gotta get going baby. Got a big morning meeting at Titan and the old boss lady is gonna kick my ass. If I show a blade enough, I take a quick shower

actually. Plus

we have that shower together.

Damn good plan. Mm-hmm. tricks.

What do you want, Kristen? Oh, is that any way to talk to your future sister-in-law? Oh wait, actually you’re nothing to me and never will be. Now that Stephan has come to his sensors and dumped your pathetic ass, he didn’t come to his senses. You psycho. He was deprogrammed or do you not remember your little brainwashing scheme with Lee and Rolf?

God, you call me pathetic. You were so desperate to keep me and Brady apart that you. You know what? I don’t have time for this. Go to hell, Chloe. Don’t you dare hang up. I have got something that you damn well need to hear.

Oh, sorry I’m late, Dawn. I’m late. . Couple minutes. You know, , I took the privilege of ordering forest. Oh, and half a grapefruit And two egg white omelets. Turkey sausage . No, no, no, no, no, no. . You’re gonna have to tell the cook. 86. The health plate. I want pancake cakes and scrambled eggs, yolks included, and bacon.

Two extra sides of it. We’re celebrating Abraham Carver and breakfast is on me. All right, well then I assume that they’ll succeeded in getting your assets unfrozen. Oh, no. If she did so much more than that, she got the whole case dismissed. Shaone, the devil herself. Peterson is out of. Forever,

Chad, we’ve been over this. I know that you were only trying to defend me. Yeah. But I should have let you deal with it and I should have never brought up your mom. Especially not to somebody like Leo. Well, like I. You were just trying to get him to back off and I shouldn’t have been so hard on you. I’m really sorry.

I’m sorry too. It was a big thing about our first fight though. Oh, what’s that? As we got to spend all night.

So there I was having just exfoliated getting ready to tuck in and watch that sexy nerd Seth Meyers. When I get an urgent text from Gwen, she was bringing Alex home and I had to scr before they got. And since a certain newspaper man barred me from crashing at the spectator offices, I ended up on one of those lumpy lounge sofas.

At the end. Side note, I need to speak with management about cleaning the furnishings. A spritz of lavender or something. I can’t believe it. I know, right? The least a five star in could do is provide appropriate accommodations for those of us displaced by their promiscuous roommates, not Alex. Him steer clear of Gwen, he didn’t listen to me.

Well, at the risk of facing the wrath of Zandy, I don’t think you’re in a position to tell two single hot people not to do what hot people do. Best present, company included. Okay, my my point is, is that you had your chance, it’s paraphrase for legal certain queen, if you were interested in said parties should put appropriate matrimonial jewelry on said party’s finger.

Right.

Well, I’ve gotta get to work. I’ll see you at the office, boss. Man,

I just really thought once this whole situation with Stephan was resolved, that Chloe and I would be fine and we’d be together and I just feel like We’re further apart than we’ve ever been. Those are Rachel. Yeah, my little girl. My beautiful big eyed. Big smiley girl. She, uh, she’s never had an unkind word to say about anybody ever up until the last couple months.

Mm. And now she des, she despises Chloe. How the hell am I supposed to handle that? Well, I don’t know. Would you like for me to talk to her? I appreciate you saying that, but I don’t think it would do any good. Mm-hmm. honestly. Kristen has done such a good job of turning her against Chloe, that anytime anyone brings up that subject, Rachel just shuts down or she goes on the attack or she has a tantrum.

Well, I wish I could say I’ve been surprised by Kristen using her own daughter in that manner, but we both know that that woman will stop at nothing to get what she wants. It’s true. The only thing she wants right now, the her, her main goal in life right now. Hmm. It is just to keep cling me apart. Go on.

What the hell do I need to hear? Well, you’ve heard it before, since you don’t seem to retain anything in that pea size brain of yours, and since Stephan dumped you for a woman who actually has a personality, meaning you’re on the market again, and I will say this for the umpteenth time. You stay the hell away from Brady.

Let’s get one thing straight. Kristin, who I choose to date is none of your damn business. Well, it is my damn business when it concerns the welfare of my daughter. Well, I’m going to say this one more time. Since you can’t seem to retain anything in that evil, twisted brain of yours, I would never do anything to hurt Rachel.

Well, you obviously not endeared yourself to her. In fact, Chloe, she can’t stand the side of. And whose fault is that? You’ve done everything in your power to turn that little girl against me. Well, I didn’t have to do much. My sweet Rachel is an excellent judge of character. Your sweet Rachel is now a little monster, and if you and Brady aren’t careful, she’s gonna grow up to become just as deranged as her mother.

That’s what I’m talking about,

You know, it’s so good to see that beautiful smile on your face again. Oh, well, you can expect to see even more these pearling whites now that we are rid of Sloane Peterson and all of her awful lies.

So, well, where’s your? You know, I’m, I’m relieved. I’m relieved that Sloan’s bogus civil case has been thrown out, but I’d be lying to say that I wasn’t concerned about her latest threat against you and Chanel. Police. Sloan Peterson has been selling wolf tickets ever since she showed her sour puss here in Salem

She’s not scar anybody anymore. The biggest mistake that we made was even given that woman one drop of our energy to feed off of. It’s time to move on. I know the perfect way to do it,

huh? Oh, who know? Who? Who are you calling? Someone more than capable of letting the citizens of Salem. Oh hell. Even the entire world know Paulina Price is back in business and better than ever.

I guess this means our first sleepover at your house is officially over. Oh, I wanna sleepover at wa. Hmm. First of many. I hope better be

it’s Paul. Paulina, good morning and it’s going to get even better, but I need you and Chad to meet me at the Pub Toronto. Okay, I will let him know. See you soon.

What’s that? We’ve been summoned to the pub pronto. Did she say why? No. What She did sound very chipper. Well, it’s one thing I know that’s not to keep Pauline apprentice. Wait. Shall,

how dare you call my daughter a monster, an innocent little girl who is heartbroken because she was separated from her mother. If anyone is a monster, Chloe, it’s you. Look, I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. I lost my temper. Okay. , you pushed my buttons. Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Blame it on me like everything else. It’s my fault that you finally expressed your rational hatred from my daughter.

You hurling these vicious insults at me. Damn you, Kristen. Don’t ever call me again,

Leo. Hey, uh, I didn’t see you there That much is obvious, girlfriend. Otherwise, I doubt you would’ve been calling Brady’s daughter a little monster. . Oh wait, what are you doing? Just jotting down some notes. I find it very interesting that a certain sale mite thinks another Salem’s daughter is the next Rhoda pen.

Oh, that’s the little girl from the bad seat, played by the inimitable Patty McCormack. In case you haven’t seen the movie, Leo, please, it’s clear you despise the girl for wrecking your relationship. You, you can’t print what you just overheard. Please. I’ll be seeing you Ms. Lane on the gossip page.

I had a great time last. And this morning? Mm-hmm. , how about you? Smashing?

I think we should do it again sometime. Yeah, I think we should. The rare double walking shame. Whos ashamed? I wasn’t talking to you guys. Why should I be ashamed? Well, you certainly can’t be proud, can you that you invited Salem’s most notorious manslaughter into your Becca? I hope you use protection. God knows what kind of STDs he has.

All right, that’s enough. Cause I’m a little bit curious though, Alex, what’s it like? Lapping up a heart serving of my sloppy seconds. You know, I’d really watch your mouth if I were you, mom, boy, why? What are you gonna do if I don’t? Okay, look, Alex, let’s just go. Let’s just walk away, shall we? Yes. Alexis, listen to your little playmate here before I have to teach you a lesson.

You most certainly did not learn in a prep school.

Good morning. Good morning. Holly know what so urgent. Well, I’m happy to announce a drum roll, please. Oh, please, yes.

Sloan Peterson’s frivolous lawsuit has been thrown out. Boom. What? Which means I am now once again a control of, oh my vast real estate holdings. Price. That is so great. That’s incredible news. Congratulations, . Oh yes, thank you. Thank you, . But there’ll be plenty of time for celebrating later. Right now I need SJ p R to put on a press release announcing my victory.

I want the whole world to know that if you want to mess with the best, which is me, you must be prepared to lose cause pulling the prices. One woman who never backs down from a.

Enough trust. Fun. Is that it? Hey, hey. Stop, stop, stop. Alex, you are already late for work. You should go here. Should go now. That’s okay. Excellent advice. Actually, you don’t want, aren’t he mags breaking out the rule and wrapping your knuckles, do you? No. No. Alex, peace please. Just.

Fine, we’ll call you later.

This is an over, oh, anytime, anywhere you want me to, even up that face of yours, just let me know.

What the hell is wrong with you? Me. He shoved me. Why are you doing this? You made it very, very clear that you don’t want me, so why should you care if somebody else does that? Playboy isn’t good enough for you, Gwen,

I see what this is. You, your precious. Sarah’s no longer here, so you’ll just settle for work. What did you call me Sloppy. Is that really, is that really what you’re thinking? Of course not. I was just, you know, I was just talk. Yeah. Well, you said it with a lot of conviction, didn’t you? I’m sorry. I don’t want your apologies.

You know when you told me how you felt about me, I took you at your word. You don’t see a future with me. And that’s fine, but I will be damned if your Neanderthal antics prevent me from moving on with my life. What I do with Alex is none of your bloody concern. Do you hear me? Zander?

So you just leave us the Hello? Hello?

I was surprised that you wanted to see me. Let me guess. Chloe came crying to you about our little Tiff. Tiff? Mm-hmm. . No, I don’t know anything about that. I haven’t spoken to Chloe. Why would she come here to see you anyway? Oh, we talked on this new invention called the telephone. Hey, here’s something new.

Why don’t you try leaving her the hell alone? Why don’t you do that? Calm down, Brady. I merely offered my condolence suit about the end of her relationship with my brother, and she got testy and she got nasty and she called our daughter a monster Brady. Say this. I don’t wanna hear it. Of course. You don me to think I could say one bad word about your dimwitted little song.

God, I don’t even, I don’t even know why to try with you.

Is that for me?

Yeah. Yeah. This is a, this is a picture that Rachel drew for you in our.

I want something from you first.

Thanks to Chloe Lane not using her inside voice. The second installment of Lady Whistleblower is going to put the first one to shame.

All right. All right.

Who is it? It’s Chloe Lane. Ms. Lane do come in. Are you here to borrow a cup of sugar? Do you know damn well why I’m here? Oh, right, because I’m finishing up my new column to kill a songbird. The social life and death of Chloe Lane. Leo, you cannot print that column. What? What you heard was one side of a conversation.

It was taken outta context. I’m sorry you’re out of luck. I have a responsibility to my readers and they know I chant to be silenced. Please, Leo. I’m desperate. Desperate, huh? Well, that’s an interesting new wrinkle. How desperate.

This price. We are so relieved that you and Chanel can finally put this nightmare behind you. You’re here, and if I may speak for both of us, you can count on SJ p r to generate tons of positive press in any of your upcoming business ventures. Well, I’m counting on you both to do just that . In fact, Stephanie, why don’t you and I head back to the office now?

Re-up your contract to handle all my PR needs. . Uh, you boys don’t mind, do you? No. No. That’ll give Chad me a, a chance to catch up. Wow, what he said. . Well, all righty then. Okay, young lady. Let’s move it. . Alright. Let’s give this. Mm-hmm. . There you go.

I am sorry, Chloe, are you attempting to bribe a lady of the fourth estate to prevent her from printing the truth? Just take the money you bottom feeding little twerp. Do the right thing for once and keep an innocent child from getting hurt even more than she already has been. Innocent child. You mean the innocent child?

You call the little monster who’s gonna turn out like her deranged mother. That innocent child. She weren’t supposed to hear that. If a tree falls in the forest and no one’s there to hear it is said tree’s, boyfriend’s daughter, not still profoundly insulted. What are you talking about? L Look what I said to Kristen was a mistake and I deeply, deeply regret it.

Haven’t you ever said anything that you wished you could have taken back? No. Regret is a waste of time and it costs us friend. God damn it. Well, if cash won’t fire your silence, then what will? Well, let’s see. I am a big fan of Basic Black’s. Latest men’s line used to work there, right? No, I do not. Oh, I hadn’t heard that.

But your bff, Nicole Walker still does. Yeah. Maybe she can hook us, assist up if you ask nicely. Okay. Yes, I will call her. Excellent. I believe it was Jeff Pulitzer who said it best? Show me the swag. The tongue won’t wa it’s a Joseph Pulitzer. You dolt. That’s what I said. Anyway, get me one of everything from the men’s collection in a size small, or am I a medium better?

Make it a S medium. You do that. Nobody has to know about your hateful outburst. My lips and my laptop will remain. Fine. Fine. Ooh,

What kinda game are you playing? Brady? You’re the one that likes games. Kristen, you love games. I’m just trying to keep one step ahead of you. Oh, what? By withholding a drawing that our daughter made from me, and people say, I’m cruel. Kristin, you can have the. As soon as you help me convince Rachel to ease up on Chloe, not a chance.

What’s one picture? Just keep it,

you know, I can, uh, I can withhold much more than just, uh, die from here. What is that supposed to mean? We know exactly what it means though, right? I want you to think of this as just a symbol. 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 live again.

Yeah. I need. Everything from the men’s line sent to Leo Stark at the Salem and asap. I will explain later. Medium. Yeah, I know Nicole. I really, I appreciate this. I, I, I really, really owe you on. Thank you.

What happened to you?

My, uh, cousin Alex. He smashed his smug pointy little face into my fist. And why would he do such a thing? Sleep with my ex. Oh, Sarah’s back. I’m not Sarah. Oh wait, don’t tell me you two. Were fighting over Gwen Riz check. Ugh. She’s just a slimy. As her pal Leo starts. Actually, that guy’s worse. He’s sadistic little.

I thought I could hold a grudge. You’re still pissed at Leo, I promise. Taking you down to the cleaners, huh? No, I have a much more pressing reason to hate the guy. That little vermin just blackmailed me. What’s he holding over? I’m not gonna tell you that I’ll have two people holding something over. Nah, clay, I’m not gonna do that.

Trust me, Leo works for me, but I’m not exactly his biggest fan. You know what I mean? Fine. Leo overheard me saying something negative about Brady’s daughter and now he’s threatening to publish it in his column unless I give him thousands of dollars worth of basic black merchandise.

Sorry, I’m late. You’re sorry, Alex. We are doing the conference room in five minutes and what happened to your. Sander happened. Sander, and what did you, no, you know what? Just scratch that. I don’t wanna know. I need to get to this meeting. Okay, well, let me just freshen up real quick and I’m right behind you.

Hell no. I can’t let Titan look like a gang of hooligans. Is that blood on your shirt?

Oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Are not going anywhere near that conference room. I’m taking this meeting alone, auntie

oh oh oh oh. And Alex, when I get back here, you and I are gonna have a serious conversation. About your future at this company,

knock.

I would go easy on the eyeshadow next time. Hmm, good call. Um, I told your assistant that I had an appointment. I hope my little fear isn’t going to get you in trouble with boss Maggie. Trust me, one, your little fib would be a drop in the bucket. As far as Maggie’s concerned, she’s already totally fed up with me.

I’m so sorry, Alex. This is all my fault. How is it your fault? When I’m the one that let Xander under my skin? I started that whole stupid fight. Yeah. But Xander targeted you because of me.

Um, you know, um, maybe we should just, you know, call it.

No way. A little bump on head is not gonna scare me off. Zander be damned. I think that we should let this ride and see what it takes us. What do you think? It’s like a plan. It sounds like a plan.

I do your makeup next time.

Oh, amazing. So it was all just delivered. Oh, thank you. Of course, Leo didn’t tip your delivery person. He’s such a stingy little creep. Nicole, thank you. I, I owe you my life. Thank. Love you. Bye. Ugh. I am off hook. Leo got his merchandise. Now I’m saved from that gossip column. Ah, Chloe. I’m afraid no one is saved from the lady.

What is that supposed to mean? Leo just turned in this new column, Chloe Lane Brady. Daughter is a deranged monster like her mother. Oh my God. That double crossing snake Xander. After everything that Brady and I have been through, we finally had a chance at a fresh start. Now you still did. You, you tell Brady that is so alive, but it’s not.

I actually said this. I let Kristin der go me into insulting their daughter, and now when Brady sees this, I am gonna lose him forever. Oh my God. On my God.

Is this house gonna be till Rachel’s 18? A tug of war of threats back and forth. I threatened to take her away from you. You threatened to take her away from me. You made it the. I did not want it to be like this. Oh, right, right, right. Because I am always the bad guy. You are the one that stoked Rachel’s resentment of Chloe in the first place.

Okay. You have used our daughter as a weapon against the woman that I love. You are using my love for my daughter against me. You’re no better than I am, Brady.

Maybe not, but I’m the one holding the cards right now.

I will write Chloe a letter of recommendation to our daughter. Will that satisfy you?

Make it glowing,

Well, you and Stephanie seem to be getting along pretty well these days. Yeah. Yeah. Things are good. And the kids, they love her. Well, dad seems to be pretty fond of her too. I am. I don’t have to tell you how hard it is to move on after you lose the, the love of your life. No. No, you don’t. You know, I never thought I’d find in love again after I lost your sister, but Paulina.

Well, she makes me very happy. It’s obvious. . Well, it’s also obvious that Stephanie makes you feel the same way she does. Couple of lucky old dogs are we? Indeed we are. Uh, don’t think I ever noticed that satisfying little grin on your face all morning. Really? Hmm. I’ve been grinning. Or maybe it’s the twinkle in your eye.

Uh, whatever it is. , I’m guessing it’s because Chad has been lighting up your day and hopefully you are nice too. Am. . I like to remain professional and discreet, but yes, he’s been lighting up my dates and my night . Oh, I knew it. Oh, a woman. A woman can sense these things. . I’m so happy for you. After all that awfulness with.

Yeah. Yeah. That was a bad situation. Mm-hmm. . Well, you have yourself a winner now. Just like my Abraham. Oh, I’m telling you Stephanie. Oh, everything. Everything is coming up Roses for me and for.

Oh my God. Oh my God.

Neil, I’m troubling you. I mean, normally I wouldn’t ask about someone else’s life, but your sadness amuses me, . I’m trying to text this girl I met at a party. It’s so much pressure. I feel like I’m gonna die. Neil picking up a pizza from Chuck E. Cheese doesn’t count as a party. . It was a real party. For my grandmother’s 90th birthday at her care home

Oh, that’s the stuff. But I did meet a very cute nurse. Her scrubs had puppies on them, so I told her I have a puppy. I’ll have to figure that out later.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Morning baby mama. Oh, I see you took down that health one sign . And I’m sorry I had to put down my foot about it. Mama left. Chanel. Chanel . No, I know you run off your feet put Allie gone. But it’s outta my hands. The court won’t let you hire anybody. Mama, you didn’t let me finish. I already did.

Mm God. I love these Brady Pub Muffins.

Mm. I’m not so sure what, I dunno. Something’s missing. Trying to figure out what it is. Brown sugar? Mm-hmm. . Oh yeah. How come I didn’t think of that? You know, it’d be more perfect that you had added a little bit more of a caramel note too. Caramel note, huh? Yeah. Everything else is great though. I mean, I still can’t believe you get to roll out of bed and have breakfast like this waiting for you.

What? Well, don’t get too used to it. Now that you found a job, you’re gonna have to find your own place too. I don’t plan on sharing my bed with my little sister forever. Why not? It’s not like you’re sharing it with anybody else.

Commissioner, find a house. Call come bearing documents. Still think you’re making a mistake, but uh, you want to drop the charges against Brady and Eric, you’re gonna need to sign on the dotted line. I do. Don’t come in. Okay. Look, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I enjoyed being kidnapped and worked over by a met scientist, but gotta say I can’t complain about the end.

Come. Right? Yeah. You made that clear. So why did the police commissioner find it necessary to run this errand in person? Well, actually, I’m not just here to have you sign documents. I’m also here about my sister, Gabby,

you won’t regret agreeing to take this meeting, Mr. Sax. Hmm. In fact, I’m, I’m very confident that you’ll be impressed with my wife. She’s not only a a, a brilliant businesswoman. She’s extraordinarily creative. Good morning, Mrs.

Good morning, and it’s been a very enjoyable one so far.

Oh, a text really this hour. It’s not a text. It’s an alert.

It’s an alert to let me know if there’s any job opportunities for a photo. and it’s may be covered because of you and I appreciate it, but I need to fill my daytime hours.

What a lovely way to wake up. Did you sleep well? Better than I have in. O I don’t know how long, uh, well, not having a drug-induced hangover probably helps, no doubt. You know, maybe what also helps is you and Stephan finally sitting down and hashing everything out. Yeah, about that. There’s a bit more to the story.

Hmm. We’ll film in, please. Yes, Ste and I hashed things out, but that doesn’t mean everything’s settled far from that, you see. Though my brother may not know it. I’m as committed as I am and was to taking him down

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

Stop. Stop. What? The alert. Just cancel it. Sorry. I need a job. Right. No, I get that. But not just any job. You’re incredibly talented. Eric, a wonderful photographer. So who needs a boss? Hmm? You should be your own boss. You should open up your own gallery.

I don’t understand. I mean, not that I expected you and Stefan to become best friends. I understand. Look, I said all the right things to him. But I did have my fingers crossed behind my back, as did my brother, I’m sure. And it’s obvious he wants what he’s always wanted Lee out of the way, Gabby in his life, and the two of them running the mirror, which I am not going to allow to happen, meaning I have to stop the two of them teaming up to sme.

Okay? And how are you gonna accomplish? Well, they’re forming my own team, of course, which I’ve actually already done with Lee Shin.

Mm-hmm. . I look forward to it as well. Yeah, talk soon then. Thanks. So how much did you hear? I heard your comments about me, your very effusive comments, all of them sincere. You want this deal for your fashion line to go through at Saxons, don’t you? What I, no. I haven’t even agreed to go in and pitch them and hear you her setting it up.

Well, you seem intrigued enough last night you took all the paperwork to bed with you. Just curious. That’s all. It doesn’t mean I’m ready to make a deal. It’s just an initial meeting and no one’s gonna rush you into anything. Gabby, I want you to have an outlet. This incredible creativity of yours and Saxton seems very interested, but if, if I’m being too pushy, I can always call them back and cancel the meeting.

So can I assume that Gabby living with Lee bugs the hell outta you as much as it does me. I hate it a lot. Figured as much, although I will admit, I, uh, don’t really know all the details of their arrangement considering Gabby, uh, well, she stopped confiding in me since she knows how I feel about Lee as opposed to all the warm and fuzzies you feel about me.

Well, let’s just say that he makes you look. Uh, now with that said, I hope to hell you, uh, haven’t given up on getting her away from. Oh no. Never giving up on that. You can bank on it. Good, good. Just be careful. You know, Shannon obviously already tried to pull the plug on you once. I, uh, don’t think he really likes competition.

I’m not competition shin. I’m gonna blow that son of a bitch out of the water.

A gallery. Me. Well, when I couldn’t fall asleep last night, I spent a good hour going through your portfolio. Eric, you would have no trouble filling in entire gallery’s walls, especially with those photos you took in Africa, . Now you’ve been building this whole library of images. And meanwhile, you set alerts on your phone for someone who has a 10 of your talent, hoping that they’ll dein to hire you.

Listen, I need a job, Sloan. No. What you need is to take charge of your career. You know, I appreciate your support, but I mean, God getting a gallery space, do you know what it takes? It takes money to buy the supplies, not to mention a gallery. So how am I supposed to find that I have the perfect place? It’s called Sweet Bits.

You may remember the person I hired. Her name is Talia and she is perfect for sweet bits. I remember her fine. You are the one forgetting we can Scott throwing money around Chan. Now every penny we spin is being watched by the court. Damn it, mama. I can’t believe Sloane Peterson got that judge to sign off on a plan like this.

Please tell me that bail is working on getting that freeze on our accounts reversed. Believe me, she’s trying. I mean, she’s hoping to get the whole crazy case that’s missed, but we have to be realistic. Baby girl. She’s a lawyer, not a miracle worker. Okay, well, neither am I and I can’t rent a successful bakery without any.

I need to swoop in and lock Talia down before I lose her. But what if you made this girl an unpaid intern? No. Nope. Just until the lawsuit is over. I cannot do that. Mama. She worked at one of the most successful bakeries in New York City. I mean, I have to offer her a competitive salary or else someone else in Salem is gonna snap her up in.

Now I guess you need to win the lottery.

I open my door to you, give you a place to lay your head, and this is the things I get grief about my love life. I was just joking. Really? You thought that was funny? Ugh, you’re too sensitive, Jada. And look, I’m not with anyone else either right now and it’s fine. Me and you we’re independent women, right?

We do just fine on our own. That we do. So here’s to the both of us flying solo.

So how long has it been, since what? Since that flying solo and here I thought we were dropping the subject. Fine. It’s none of my business. No, it’s. But I, I have nothing to hide. I broke up with someone a few months ago. Wow. A few months. It’s a long time. My breakup was pretty loose. I’m doing fine, Talia, and I’m sure you are.

But is there someone new on the horizon at least?

After my brother and I got honest with each other, I invited Lee over to tell him that I’m willing to join forces, and now he knows that I fully support his reconciliation with Gabby, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen. Okay. And what did you tell him about the situation with Stephan?

Nothing he can use against. Leon knows what I want him to know, and more importantly, Leoni heard what he’s willing to hear, and in return I got an earful. Meaning, meaning he’s cooked up some wonderful distraction for Gabby one, which she’s just made.

Don’t cancel. The meeting won’t look on either one of us if I bail now. So I’ll go in beat with sex and see what happens. I actually know what will happen. You’ll go in there and press the hell out of them. Before you know it, everyone will forget all about Gabby Sheik and your new designs will leave them in the dust.

Okay. You can dial down on the flattery. I know how good I am. Oh, it doesn’t hurt to be reminded, does it? I’m gonna go get ready for this meeting. Oh. Then I’ll make you breakfast to remember.

So Gabby might have a new fashion line through Saxon’s department stores. Department starts, right? So while Stephan’s forced to sneak around, try and statue a few stolen moments with. She’ll be going to bed every night just a few feet from the man who revived the artistic side of her career. My Gabby’s in love with Stephan, and she’s mourned him for years.

She’s never gonna be able to stay away from him. Mm. And that’s where things get interesting. Oh boy. How so? He filled me in on a very important stipulation in his and Gabby’s deal. She will get his Demir shares if she remains in the marriage for six months, but only if she remains faithful. Oh my God. The contract actually has a fidelity.

one, which I might be able to take advantage of. Aj, you’re playing a dangerous game. What if Stephan finds out what you’re doing behind his back? ? Well, I like taking risks. That’s the fun in life, isn’t it? Wouldn’t you say? Yeah, bet. I guess it depends on what that risk is. Wow. Getting involved with someone romantically.

That’s risky business, isn’t it? Since one. You can have that poor little heart. True, but it’s definitely fun nonetheless. Wouldn’t you agree? Yes.

The hell do you think you’re doing? Getting dressed. This is my bedroom. Remember living out a suitcase over here, unless of course you wanna change our sleeping agreement, invite me into your bedroom. Nice try. I’m gonna go get ready myself. Hey, listen for breakfast, um, egg white omelet with spinach butter toast, coffee, black.

Coming up.

Hello Stephan Lee. What the hell are you doing? Answering Gabby’s phone.

Uh, sweet bits. They’re going out of. Well, Chanel and Paul might not know that yet, but yes, and once I win my case against them, the space is mine. I want better use of it than for your gallery. Are you sure about this? Did it all win? No. Yes. No. No, no. But this is a good idea. Look, I get it. You don’t wanna take business away from Chanel and you won’t be, you know, that’s, that’s my job.

And believe me, I’m really looking forward to doing it. You’re just like the beneficiary. And with the cash I win from my judgment against them. I mean, hey, I can even be an investor too,

me with Brown Gallery. Oh, don’t say no because it’s Complic. Say yes because it’s thrilling.

You better get that. This maybe. About the case. Hold on, on Peterson here.

What?

God, I hated this never ending war with Sloan. Oh, believe me. Believe me. I hate it too. And you are right. This is war. That’s why we need to think strategically now. If you hire this girl, it’s gonna look like you’re trying to put one over on the court, and then the judge will penalize you and then Sloan wins

it’s bill. Well, well answer. It’s probably about the case. Hello? What

Bella are you. Oh, no, no, no. She knows right here. She’s right here with me now. Y Yeah. Okay. No, I have to call you back. Oh. Oh, Lord. Oh, Lord, Lord, mama. Stop calling for the Lord and tell me what happened. Come on. What did Bell say? Mama? Mama. You’re scaring me. Oh, I’m sorry. I don’t know what we’re gonna do now that we’re gonna have all this free time since Bell got the case thrown out.

Oh, baby throw we free, which

Good morning, brave. Hi. Hi. So, uh, you enjoying your time in Salem so far? You know, I was until about 20 minutes ago when my big sister was saying I was cramping. Her style. Need to move out stack. But little does she know you have to have style to cramp first. . Please feel free to ignore her. Yeah, duly noted.

That’s, what were you guys talking about a second ago when I walked up? This seemed kind of intense. You know, it’s funny you should ask, didn’t you say you have the new Java Co too? You know, we didn’t want you to be late. Oh no, it’s. A good point. You know, now that I’m a baker, I have to get used to the early morning shifts.

Wait, wait, wait. You’re going to be working at a bakery? Mm-hmm. at Sweet Bits in Horton Town Square. You know it. That’s your new job. What’s wrong with that? Sweet Bits has the best donuts in town, and they’ll be even better now that I’m there. What’s going on? Why would you work as a baker? What’s wrong with Bakers?

Nothing. That’s your chosen field, but it isn’t yours now, is it? What am I missing here? It’s just that tie here is not a baker. She’s a doctor.

You’re a doctor? I have a medical degree, yes. Stop making it sound like you just got your learner’s permit. She got her degree from Stanford, one of the best medical schools in the country, and she graduated top 10% of her class. Top 5%. Actually, you know, you’re only proof my point, right? How is working at a baker using any of your talents?

I’m a very talented. When you said you got a job, I assumed it was at University Hospital. I thought it was always your dream to follow in daddy’s footsteps. No, it was daddy’s dream to me. Follow him into medicine. It doesn’t make it mine. But you worked so hard. Who walks away from a career like that? Me.

And you’re right. I don’t wanna be easily from my new job, so I’ll catch you guys later. Bye. Re bye. Bye, Jada.

I wonder if Chanel Dupree knows just how overqualified her new baker is.

So this means I can hire Talia or No, I already hired her. So this means now I don’t have to fire Talia . Oh, you can hire, uh, baker’s dozen of Talia if you want to. Oh, did you see what I just did there? Uhhuh. . Yeah. I, I did what? I’m just way too happy to even complain about your terrible sense of humor. , we owe Bill big time.

Oh, do we ever hold that? Brilliant woman left Sloan. Dust

I wondered how that witch is taking it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s okay. Okay. It’s okay. Please. Everything is not okay. That whole lawsuit, everything, everything relied on that, and now it’s dead in the water. They’re murderers, and they won again. Right. It was just a civil case, right? No one was going to prison. It’s about money you have. It was never about the money.

They’ve torn my family apart and they just keep getting away with it because they’re cute and cuddly and fun and everyone loves them. But me, Sloane Peterson, he’s the soest soulless ambulance chaser. God forbid I forget about my mother being pushed off of a roof to her death. She’s like, whatever happens to me, whatever I get taken from me, you know?

Oh, I deserve it.

Sorry, I’m on your side and I’m sorry if. It sound like your case was unimportant.

Is my last shot my,

can I help you? You can help me Lee, by giving Gabby her phone back. I’m afraid. My wife is a little busy right now. Doesn’t have time for Chit Chat. She’s getting dressed for a very important meeting. What meeting? If Gabby thinks it’s any of your business, I’m sure she’ll tell you. It’s just not my place.

The clock is ticking on that little six month deal you. You know what happens when time runs out? I know what will happen if you keep calling here. I also know what will happen if by some bizarre chance you actually succeed attempting her into some secret rendezvous thought of that scares you to death, doesn’t it?

It should scare Gabby to death because she fails to resist you. She’ll lose all those dememer shares and she’ll have you to thank for that because you couldn’t keep it in your pants. So do her a. Do yourself a favor and stay away from my wife, Lee. Lee.

Bitch.

Uh, is there a problem, brother?

Thanks for all your incredible work. Bell, you, you are truly a lifesaver. You don’t know how much of a relief this is to me and Chanel, oh, we are eternally grateful. . Mm-hmm. Oh, oh, you too. Bye now. Oh, what are you working on, honey? Oh, I am revising the budget for Sweet Bits with Talia on board. I’ll be able to add back some of the popular items to our menu, and thanks to Bill, I will be able to actually pay my new employee

I didn’t know that was an issue. , but I’m certainly happy that you can. Hi, Talia. Uh, this is my mother, Paul Price. Mama. This is my new employee, Talia. Oh, I am so sorry. I forgot your last name. I, I know it was on the application. Oh, it’s Hunter. Hunter? Mm-hmm. . Any relation to Detective Jada Hunter? Yeah, she’s my sister.

You know her? No, but I do know of her. My partner arrested me once.

I just don’t get it. She spent all those years in medical school just to become a baker. She’s trying to change her life, pursue her dream. Her dream was to become a doctor and she pursued that dream with a vengeance. Totally driven. Little Miss Overachiever. You heard the way she corrected me about where she graduated at Stanford.

I mean, who does that if they’re not proud of their. Well, it’s certainly something to be proud of. Exactly, but I know better than to try to sit her down and set her straight. It’d be a complete waste of breath. I wanna hear that. I mean, Garo and Gabby, they have made some curious choices over the years, despite my excellent advice.

Must be hard being right outta the time. Mm-hmm. , . And also being the older sibling, you know, we were born to be, um, ignored, disrespected, and resented, but we love those disrespectful, recent, resentful, young ones anyway, don’t we? Dearly . Yes, we do. And we will never stop trying to rescue them from themselves.

Damn right. We won’t.

Hey, will you put that omelet in a container for me? I want to eat it later, but I don’t wanna be late. Wow. Saxtons is about to be deluged with women who wanna look exactly the way you do now. I told you to tone it down on the flattery. Well, why are you dressed up? You don’t think you’re coming with me, do you?

Well, I, I I was the go-between. I, I I’m the one who told them to snatch you up. Yeah, but it’s my pitch. I can do it myself. I don’t need help with that. They are expecting both of us. That’s fine. I can just tell ’em that you’re Stephan called.

I dunno what my problem is. His name’s Lee Shin.

He just told me that Gabby was too busy to talk because she’s headed to some important business meeting, and I’m sure that creep made the whole thing up as another ploy to keep us apart. Well, maybe it wasn’t made up. What do you mean? Word on the street is Saxon’s, maybe partnering with Gabby on a new fashion line.

Word on the street. Well, yeah, I hear things at Basic Black, that’s part of my job. Well, if that were true, Gabby would’ve told me about it, and I would’ve heard first.

I can’t speak to Gabby’s willingness to share information, but if I were to guess what’s going on here, it sounds like Lee is trying to get her interested in a new business opportunity. So she loses interest in his DEMIRA shares and by extension, You. No way that’s gonna happen. Gabby loves me and she wants nothing more than to be back together.

No, Wakely distract her by waving some shiny new business opportunity in front of her face. But if she gives in to her feelings for you, she could lose her mirror shacks. How do you know about that?

You wanna ride to the station? Sure. We can talk about what a bummer it is, being the older sibling. And you can tell me what you and Talia were talking about when I walked up. I mean, it’s none of my business. It’s just what? Hmm hmm. Oh, just the look on your face is when I came. Nevermind. Oh, you know, it, it’s Sean.

Uh, you know, we’ve been trading info on the case we have, so I should probably take this. You you go ahead. I’ll drive myself. Hunter.

So you never went to culinary school? No, um, actually I had a different focus, but baking is just something I know. Do you also know that you’re talking to a couple of criminal. You think you’ve won, don’t you? Oh honey, we know we have. Well, you are wrong. I am not giving up on making YouTube bitches pay for what you’ve done.

Look, I don’t know what your problem is, but you can’t just talk to them like that. They’re my problem. This one’s a murderer and this one covered it up. Your lawyer may have pulled a rabbit out of her. But you are not off the hook. You listen to me, Sloan Peterson, you have lost and you will keep on losing and losing.

So how about you’ll find something better to do with your time than trying to hurt me and my family trying to drag us a court to satisfy your sick need for revenge. When my daughter and I, we have done nothing wrong. Do you hear me? Maybe. Maybe I don’t need court to get my revenge. Ever thinking that,

so Stephan called and you didn’t think to tell me. You saw the notification before I had a chance. Uh, it was a very brief call. He asked for you and I said you were getting ready for a meeting. Needed to stay focused. Lee, I don’t need a secretary, nor do I need you answering my phone without my permission.

Well, I I, I’m sorry. I, I just, I wasn’t thinking, uh, why don’t you call him back now if you like. I mean, it might make us late for the meeting at Saxon’s, but. We can probably make up the time on the break. No, I don’t wanna be late and there’s no, we okay. It’s just me remember. Fine. Um, the only thing is they’re expecting me to, and I wouldn’t want them wondering why I didn’t show up.

That would be an unnecessary distraction, and I wouldn’t want to spoil your pitch before you even get to make it.

You’re driving.

Oh. Uh, Lee’s little sister, Wendy, she mentioned something about her morals clause in their, uh, marriage contract. Wow. Surprise Lee would share that information with her and that she would just impart that knowledge onto. Well, no one’s ever accused Wendy of discretion. Look, I’m sorry if I spoke out of tone.

I didn’t know that this clause was on a need to know basis. Either way, I, I, I don’t envy you, Stephan. It certainly is a very tricky situation. It is indeed. He’s watching us like a hawk waiting for me and Gabby to give into feelings for one another, and I, I can’t figure out a way.

Well, Stephan, maybe I can help you. How? Well, maybe, um, yeah, I can arrange for you and Gabby to meet privately. I mean, after all, Lee’s not watching.

It’s a very kind offer. What can I say? I’m, I’m a romantic at heart, and I just, I really want you and Gabby to be happy together, and since you two boys have made peace, I’m on your side as much as EJ is.

That’d be amazing. Thank you. Of course. But I, I’ll, uh, I’ll get to work and. I’ll let you know as soon as I come up with something. I’m very grateful, Nicole, and I know Gabby will be too.

Well done Oscar worthy. Now I was just following the plan. Now all we need is for Lee to catch Ste and Gabby and the act and it’s by by shares. Gabriela earned controlled D mirror. Let’s just hope Stefan makes it worth it.

Victor: Jill, there you are. How nice to see you.

Jill: Nice to see you, too.

Victor: Have a seat.

Jill: Thank you. Thank you. So you sounded like it was urgent on the phone, so I made the ranch my first stop, but I am late for the arbitration.

Victor: Oh, is that today?

Jill: Yes, victor, that is today and I’ve got to get going and I’m sure you’d like to cut to the chase anyway, yes?

Victor: Well, then, I have to say, my timing is perfect.

Victoria: Oh, I’m glad you’re here. It’s like you read my mind.

Nate: Oh, yeah?

Victoria: I was hoping to go over some budgetary issues regarding newman media’s next quarter.

Nate: Okay, well, I’m happy to do that, but I was hoping we could discuss something else first.

Victoria: Sounds like something’s bothering you. Is there anything that I can do to help?

Nate: Yeah, look, um…

Victoria: It’s fine. You can talk to me about it.

Devon: Amanda.

Amanda: Devon.

Devon: I was surprised to hear that you agreed to come back and represent chancellor-winters ’cause i figured you’d never want to see me again.

Amanda: Well, when lily reached out to me, it made perfect sense to take this case, since I was instrumental in solidifying the merger in the first place. No one knows the ins and outs better than I do.

Devon: Except for maybe me and lily.

Lily: I don’t think now is a time or place for this.

Amanda: No, no, it’s okay. See, devon, you were more about the big picture. I was the one in the trenches dotting the “I’s” and crossing the “t’S.” But I simply see this as a natural extension of what I was already doing for jill and lily.

Devon: Well, sure, but you know that sometimes a case is about more than just “I’s” and “t’s,” and it’s about right and wrong.

Amanda: I couldn’t agree more.

Devon: And about knowing the history and how much time I’ve put into a company like hamilton-winters.

Amanda: Oh, I know. Do you not remember all of the long conversations we had about neil? The fact that you are here touting your history and loyalty is a joke

Devon: Joke? So is this, like, revenge, then, for you?

Amanda: Don’t flatter yourself. I am here to win an arbitration. Having a front-row seat to watching you lose? That’s just a perk. Not flossing well?

Christine: Good morning.

Devon: Hey.

Christine: Everyone’s exchanging pleasantries. That’s nice to see. Devon, why don’t we go inside?

Devon: Sure.

Christine: If you want any shot of walking away with your company, you can’t let them get under your skin.

Devon: I — abby gave me the same advice. I know how to handle myself.

Christine: Okay, it’s just, you seem a little rattled. Clearly, that’s part of their strategy.

Devon: Maybe I’m letting them think that they’ve gotten to me.

Christine: Then you’re doing a good job.

Arbitrator: Are both sides ready to proceed?

Christine: We are, ms. Shannon.

Devon: I don’t think we are yet, as we’re missing someone important. Is jill not meant to be here?

Christine: Why don’t you let me speak on our behalf?

Amanda: Ms. Winters is here on behalf of chancellor-winters. These legal proceedings are of the utmost importance to both ms. Winters and ms. Abbott, but they still have a company to run. The massive reach of their conglomerate necessitates that someone be available at nearly all times, but I assure you ms. Abbott will be joining us as soon as she’s able to step away from her professional obligations.

Arbitrator: Very well. Then let’s begin.

[ Knock on door ]

Elena: Audra, hey. Nate around?

Audra: I think he’s in a meeting.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Let me guess, with victoria.

Audra: I believe so. Is everything okay?

Elena: Honestly, I don’t even know.

Audra: Hey, maybe we could have a chat — away from this place. You up for a cup of coffee?

Nate: I think we need to address what happened the other night.

Victoria: I thought that we were pretty clear with one another.

Nate: Saying everything is fine is one thing, but is it really? Victoria, I don’t want what happened to change our work dynamic, and I hope it doesn’t alter the trust and comfort we have with one another.

Victoria: Nate, don’t give it any more thought. Really, it bears little to no weight on my end.

Nate: I hope that’s the case.

Victoria: Look, if it would make you feel better, I will willingly admit that i overstepped, and I’ll apologize. I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable.

Nate: No apologies necessary

[Chuckles] Because you wouldn’t mean in anyway.

Victoria: Excuse me?

Nate: You don’t feel like you overstepped, now, do you?

Victoria: No, I don’T.

[ Chuckles ]

Jill: Would you please stop being so cryptic? You have my attention.

Victor: Ooh, I’m being cryptic now.

Jill: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Well, to be honest with you, I was surprised to learn that you’re willing to go to war with devon over hamilton-winters.

Jill: Why would that surprise you.

Victor: And put lily against her brother?

Jill: Look, if there had been a more amicable option, I would have taken it. You of all people know there isn’t always one. And when you’re dealing with family, things can turn very ugly.

Victor: Only too true.

Jill: I take no pleasure in this battle with them. I can already see the emotional toll it’s taking on lily and devon. But he accepted this merger with the full knowledge that I would retain the majority interest in chancellor-winters.

Victor: Right.

Jill: And as open as I am to listening to other people’s opinion, in the end, the decision’s mine, and I like the company the way it is.

Victor: You bet. Hi. I keep my home fresh with febreze fade defy plug.

Victor: Now, you must remember that I do understand that you have a certain vision for your company, as you should. You’re the decision-maker.

Jill: Mm-hmm.

Victor: Let me ask you, how do you think katherine would feel? She realized you drew a very hard line with devon. I mean, devon is her grandson.

Jill: You’re playing the katherine card, aren’t you? Look, katherine had a lot of opinions, a lot of opinions about a lot of things, and most of them I did not agree with. But make no mistake, there are times when I miss her like crazy.

Victor: Yep.

Jill: What I don’t miss is when she harped at me on how to run the company all the time. She and I can discuss that in the afterlife.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Well, that’s fair enough.

Jill: Just so you know, lily and I did try to come to an agreement with devon, okay? We offered him a really, really generous settlement, we offered to let him retain the hamilton-winters name, but he shot all that down. He’s trying to make some sort of a point. I don’t think it can be made in the time he has left. The trouble is, he’s playing with a really weak hand. I mean, he’s got the emotion and the sentiment, but he has no legal standing.

Victor: Yeah, you’re correct about all of that, I think. However, I think your personal relationship with him is going to suffer some damage, and that would be a shame, you know? I mean, I asked you to come here knowing full well what the complications can be, but instead of a lawsuit and all those legal entanglements and hostilities, I’m willing to offer you an alternative.

Christine: Hamilton-winters was founded on one core principle — family. Created by neil winters and his son devon, it was the culmination of familial love and devotion. Neil and his wife, drew, adopted devon when he was a teenager and brought them into their loving home and helped mold him into the successful man he is today. The company they started and built, grew was and continues to be a shining symbol of neil’s legacy, a living monument of a man who wanted to become a father, a son who loved him, and the importance of family. Unfortunately, it’s that sentiment that ms. Abbott and ms. Winters preyed upon when they convinced mr. Hamilton to merge hamilton-winters with chancellor industries. They used devon’s deep regard for family bonds, the role that neil played in his and his sister’s lives, and they coerced him into merging. And their argument? To create a family-run company that would make neil proud. Well, shortly after they convinced him to merge, ms. Abbott and ms. Winters insisted on opening up the company to an ipo. Okay, so that’s taking a family-run company and letting in outside money and influence, taking the power out of their hands and putting it in to others. Immediately, devon objected to this and after multiple attempts to try and stop the ipo and amicably dissolve the merger, ms. Abbott and ms. Winters flexed their collective muscle and made it very clear they had no intention of bringing this dream that they sold to devon to fruition. You see, my client’s not asking for money or stock or some sort of windfall. All he is asking for is to walk away with the company that he and his father created.

Elena: [ Sighs ] I hope you don’t think I’m jealous or insecure, because, trust me, I’m not.

Audra: No, I don’t think you are.

Elena: It’s just, I’m struggling with the amount of time nate is spending at work.

Audra: Well, a business like newman media, the demands are intense.

Elena: Which I completely understand.

Audra: But I think you have some legitimate questions about what’s going on between nate and victoria.

Elena: You do?

Audra: It’s probably not my place to say anything, but I’m a little troubled by it.

Elena: I understand that nate and victoria have a tight working relationship. He’s always been good in groups. That’s part of what made him such a great surgeon, his ability to flow with all the people around him.

Audra: I don’t want to cross any lines, elena, you know, or across any issues in your relationship with nate, but I think, um…

Elena: Just say it.

Audra: Well, I think maybe nate and victoria’s relationship is a little deep, but this could also just be me talking from my own biased point of view, because sometimes I feel a little out of the loop, but at times, you know, it just doesn’t feel like a normal employer/employee dynamic.

Elena: In what way?

Audra: Well, they’re together constantly, and I’m sure that’s — that’s great for nate. I’m sure he’s learning a lot. But I’m not sure they’re always focused on the business at hand.

Elena: So what are you saying? There’s something more going on?

Audra: I’m sensing there’s a lot more.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Victoria: We’re adults. Clearly, there is a chemistry between us. And would I have liked to have explored that chemistry and how explosive it might be? Yes. That’s why I invited you to my hotel suite.

[ Sighs ] But I understand that we’re in two different situations. I — I have a certain freedom that you don’t currently have. Look, I’m a single woman. I saw something interesting, and I acted on it.

Nate: Oh, yeah, you did.

[ Chuckles ]

Victoria: You made your choice. I respect that.

Nate: Okay. I’ll just assume you mean that.

Victoria: We are smart, sophisticated, successful, and I’m sure that we can control ourselves somehow. This attraction that we have for each other, I mean, it doesn’t have to be acted on, right? No matter how powerful it is.

Audra: It’s difficult to hear. I know.

Elena: It is, but I appreciate your honesty. So, what, you think they’re having an affair?

Audra: Well, I’m not sure if anything physical has happened, but if not, I sense it’s heading in that direction. I know you’re probably skeptical. I’m just telling you what I’ve seen.

Elena: No, I don’t doubt it. I just don’t know what to do with this information. It doesn’t make sense to me. Yes, nate and I struggled last year, but we also fought really hard to get through it, so I don’t see why he would jeopardize us.

Audra: Some men are just like that.

Elena: Yeah, you know, when we first got together, we were both in relationships.

Audra: That’s concerning.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I guess it is, but we are adults, and we made a choice. Now I guess I have a choice to make. What, do I just wait to catch them in the act? Do I trust nate when he says nothing’s going on? Or, what, do I fight for him?

Audra: That’s a decision you’re going to have to make, but if you’re asking for my opinion, look, I’m not one to sit back and do nothing. I’m guessing you’re the same way.

Elena: Well, yeah, I’m willing to fight for my relationship, but what makes this difficult is nate loves his job. He’s so passionate about it. And victoria is a part of that. So she has him right where she wants him.

Audra: I may have an idea that could change up the status quo in a way that helps you.

Victor: Now, jill, I think i know why devon is so adamant about getting hamilton-winters back.

Jill: Yes, he misses his autonomy.

Victor: That’s one of the reasons. The other reason is that he’s worried about you wanting to take the company public.

Jill: Look, he can blame the ipo all he wants, but at best, that was the last straw for him.

Victor: Come on. You and I know what it means when you take a company public. That means you invite all kinds of strangers who are shareholders who interfere in your decision-making process. If that’s the reason devon wants hamilton-winters back, I understand him, okay? I have a feeling you didn’t think this through.

Jill: You said you had an alternative for me.

Victor: Right.

Jill: Is that it? That I don’t know what I’m doing?

Victor: Whoa, whoa, whoa. There’s no reason to get defensive, okay? I think you will like what I have to propose.

Amanda: There is no doubt that the work that mr. Hamilton put into building hamilton-winters along with his late father was admirable. The success of the company was a large part of why my clients proposed the merger in the first place. That being said, the reasons behind why mr. Hamilton decided to merge his company with chancellor industries are irrelevant. Whatever he claims was implied to him during private conversations are not germane to these proceedings. He entered into a contractual agreement period, and nowhere in that contract was there a promise that the newly merged company would remain private throughout its tenure. Effectively, he has come to arbitration to request that the courts assist him in a breach of contract. He wants to break the agreement that he entered into of his own volition. He wants to break his promise. He doesn’t want to hold up his end of the bargain. He wants to throw it all away. But in doing so, he may potentially cause irreparable damage to the existing company. (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Audra: Whenever I start a new job, I always do my research, which means I’ve done a deep dive into victoria’s life. That woman has led a colorful life. No lack of romantic partners, to put it politely. Did you follow the drama with her last husband, um, ashland locke?

Elena: Yeah, he and nate used to be close.

Audra: Really? I’m not sure I want that guy as a friend.

Elena: Nate found out pretty quickly that he was manipulating him. Yeah, that — that man was a piece of work.

Audra: Seems like victoria’s married a few of those, including, uh, billy abbott — more than once. But, apparently, she had one former partner with a particularly interesting story. From what I’ve learned, he may have been the love of her life. You know, they break up, reunite, and so on. And then one day he disappeared. He was gone for a really long time, and when he came back, he’d changed. He was violent, dangerous.

Elena: Are you talking about J.T. Hellstrom?

Amanda: The foundation of the contract between chancellor industries and hamilton-winters was based on fairness for all parties involved. Because jill abbott was given the largest stake in the merged company. Other terms were put in that were more favorable to mr. Hamilton. This was the compromise that both parties agreed to. In fact, I personally reviewed the documents for mr. Hamilton during various stages of the merger. I found the terms to be quite fair to him. Initially, I was not formal counsel for either party, so I could view things with an impartial eye, and nowhere did I see terms that were purely one-sided without a caveat to level the balance. Nothing has changed throughout the process except for mr. Hamilton’s desires. Now that he wants to move in a new direction, he’s regretting the deal that he signed, calling foul and pointing his fingers at my clients.

[ Scoffs ] You’re not allowed to do that. You’re not allowed to change the rules in the middle of the game. It’s not the way business works or life. And no amount of emotionally charged accusation is going to change the reality. There’s only one person guilty of breaking the chancellor-winters agreement, and that person is you.

Christine: We knew it was going to be like this. Just keep it together.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Okay. Would anybody mind if we took a recess?

Christine: Uh, perhaps an early lunch?

Arbitrator: Okay.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Jill: Well, look, I don’t know what you’re offering me, but there is one thing I want you to know, that this ipo was not unvetted nor impulsive on my part, and I don’t appreciate the insinuation.

Victor: I didn’t mean to imply any wrongdoing on your part, okay? But I’ve known you long enough and know you well enough to know that you share one characteristic of all moguls. You want to keep control.

Jill: I care about the bottom line and the health of my company.

Victor: Yes. Now, for your information, I have often thought — well, not often, but sometimes thought of taking newman public. But the notion of shareholders coming in, strangers coming in, interfering with my decision-making process? To hell with it. Okay? Unless, of course — unless I needed the money, and public offering brings an influx of capital. And I suspect that this is what it’s all about, right?

Jill: Well, business is about making money.

Victor: There are more creative ways of raising funds, you know? Not an ipo. Keep all the shareholders, all the strangers away. That would allow you and devon to maintain control of the company.

Jill: I am aware of the other options, okay? Could you be more specific?

Victor: I’m talking about private investor who would stay out of any decision-making process that you and devon would be involved in, and they would guarantee that in writing.

Jill: And I assume you have someone in mind.

Audra: You’re exactly right. J.T. Hellstrom. Did you know him?

Elena: No, but I did hear a lot of stories about when he came to town. Everyone thought he was dead, but when he returned, something was off. Well, he ended up almost killing victoria, nikki, and sharon. And when all was said and done, they actually found out that J.T. Had a brain tumor. So that was the reason he was spiraling, and it actually wasn’t his fault.

Audra: That’s obviously awful for all involved, but maybe with your medical background, J.T. Might be an interesting case study.

Elena: Yeah, maybe in a purely medical sense, but I don’t see what that has to do with nate and victoria.

Well, I did my research into J.T., As well. It turns out he was released from prison. He’s just avoided genoa city since he’s been out. And I was thinking someone like J.T. Deserves to have his story told. And that’s when it occurred to me. Wouldn’t his life make an interesting story on your medical podcast? I’m sholeh and I lost 75 pounds with golo.

Amanda: Thanks. So, this case is going as well as expected. How are you feeling?

Lily: I don’t know. Feeling torn. I feel like the way that we’re going about this is causing devon a lot of pain.

Amanda: You want to win, right?

Lily: Yeah, of course I want to win, but I don’t want to hurt him in the process. And, I don’t know, I feel like you were attacking him professionally and personally.

Amanda: It’s my job to use all ammunition in my arsenal. If my mere presence is putting him off-balance, so be it. Lily, I understand that you are conflicted, but just remember, devon brought this on himself.

Elena: You think I should bring J.T. To town to interview him about his medical history?

Audra: For a few reasons. One, it would be the perfect way to kick-start the reboot of your medical podcast at newman media. I mean, what’s splashier than bringing back genoa city’s long-lost prodigal son? You know, give him the opportunity to clear the air, explain what he’s been through, and publicly make amends.

Elena: No, I don’t want to exploit anyone for ratings.

Audra: Right, but the reason why people would listen is because it would be healing for everyone. So we’d be doing a good thing.

Elena: Yeah, I guess, if it were done respectfully.

Audra: Yeah, and it would give you the opportunity to work directly with nate. Wasn’t that part of the reason why you and nate decided to bring the podcast back to newman, right?

Elena: Yeah, that was the driving force of reinstating my contract at newman.

Audra: And as a final bonus, and I’m not making any promises here, but if you look into J.T.’S story, who knows? Might have an impact on victoria. Maybe a love like theirs never really dies.

Victoria: Newman media’s growth looks good over the next quarter, but there’s going to be a low cash flow due to all of the recent acquisitions that we’ve made.

Nate: I’m confident the buys will be paying off soon.

Victoria: Oh, I agree, but we just need to find a way to increase the revenues to offset the money that we’ve spent.

Nate: Okay. I’ll go over the budget line-by-line.

Victoria: That’s why I called this meeting.

[ Sighs ]

Nate: Right.

[ Clears throat ]

Victoria: Is there some kind of problem?

Nate: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I am having trouble focusing this morning. Lily and devon’s arbitration hearing started today.

Victoria: I heard.

Nate: I know how you want it to play out because of the way it may affect your play for mccall, but, for me, either way it goes, I am very worried about my cousins. I still wish there was something more I could do for them.

Devon: Thank you. [ Sighs ] Again, christine, I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t have done that.

Christine: Called a recess? That’s your lawyer’s job.

Devon: I apologize. I do. I just — it came out before I knew what I was saying.

Christine: Well, we had prepared for that sort of approach from them.

Devon: Believe me, I know we did. It’s just it’s really different to see amanda in person and see that she’s clearly enjoying this opportunity to go after me. And lily’s letting her take shots below the belt. So it’s a whole lot.

Christine: I understand. You’re frustrated. But you have to maintain your composure. Their strategy is working because you’re letting it.

Devon: I’m aware. It’s — it’s a lot harder than I thought, sitting back and not saying anything when the attacks are personal. And I know that amanda doesn’t care about what she’s saying or the contracts. She just literally wants to watch everything that I’ve built burn to the ground.

So,

what are you waiting for?

Christine: I empathize with you, and I know you need to vent your feelings, but do that here with me at society, not at arbitration. You can’t explode in there. That would be giving lily and amanda exactly what they want. Plus, it could hurt our case because the arbitrator could look at this entire lawsuit as an irrational, selfish move that they’re claiming it is.

Devon: Well, yeah, I didn’t even think about the arbitrator. Did you get a read on her? Like, is it — is it bad?

Elena: I admit, the idea of shifting victoria’s attention away from nate is tempting. And, of course, I would love to work with nate again, producing the podcast.

Audra: It would be a win/win for everyone. Or, almost everyone.

Elena: I also love the idea of bringing awareness to the effects that a brain tumor can have on one’s conscious or unconscious thought processes. I think it’s valuable to have someone who’s been negatively affected talk about their experience. That way, we’d be educating people and rebuilding relationships.

Audra: That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Elena: But there is a downside. What you’re saying in totality is just wrong. Toying with people’s emotions and making them relive traumas just so victoria can stop trying to steal my boyfriend? That’s not really a game I want to play.

Audra: I-I never meant to imply anything like that. But you’re absolutely right. All of that should stay in the past — the painful parts as well as the romance.

Elena: Yeah. Well, thank you for your insight, and I appreciate the conversation. And even though a J.T. Podcast is off the table, you have given me a lot to think about.

Audra: Absolutely. Whatever I can do to help.

Victoria: Despite our disagreement about the chancellor-winters arbitration outcome, I get why you want to make things right in your family. I mean, I wanted the same thing for mine. And having my parents working here with me at newman and convincing nick to come back to the company, I consider that one of my greatest successes of late. There’s something very powerful about having your family together, united and working towards the same goal.

Nate: Yeah, there is. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out for us, and I take my heavy share of the blame for that.

Victoria: Well, I’m impressed that you’re taking responsibility and that you’re making amends for what you did. I am. And I… I really, truly hope that you can heal this rift in your family, nate.

Nate: I hope so, too.

Victoria: You know, I’ve been with some very unscrupulous people romantically, so your moral compass is a really nice change of pace.

Nate: Even though we’re not together?

Victoria: Right. You know, core values are also very admirable in business. You shouldn’t feel guilty about how things unravel between devon and lily. You really shouldn’T. That didn’t happen in a vacuum. You were provoked. You should try to cut yourself some slack.

Nate: I appreciate you saying that, but I think you’re the only one who feels that way.

Lily: I’m just not sure if this is the right way to go about it.

Amanda: But it is the best way to win. Devon is trying to destroy everything that you accomplished, everything that you worked so hard to achieve. I mean, how many nights did you spend alone at the office, especially after both coos left? Was devon working with the same level of commitment towards building and fortifying chancellor-winters? Absolutely not.

Lily: Hm. It’s funny. Daniel said the exact same thing to me earlier. He said that I have every right to try to preserve the company as is.

Amanda: Lily, everyone who cares about you knows that you deserve this, and devon is trying to rip it away for purely selfish reasons.

Lily: The way he ripped apart everything you and he had?

Amanda: Yes. And, yes, I am using our relationship to my advantage, to our advantage. If he’s flustered by that, so be it. Maybe he should’ve thought about the consequences of his actions before he cheated on me.

Lily: Amanda, this should not be about you getting back at him.

Amanda: No, it should not. It should be about you keeping your company intact. And I told you that I would do everything to make sure that that happened. You agreed to my methods. It’s really too late to back down now.

Lily: [ Exhales sharply ] I don’t know.

Amanda: You may have some ambivalence, but you have to let me work my way. This is where I excel, where I thrive. I understand that you may be torn, but jill is not. She wants chancellor-winters to stay intact, and I intend to deliver.

Victor: Now, you’re right in assuming that devon is playing with a weak hand in this suit, you know, and I think you’ll win.

Jill: And you want him to win?

Victor: Well, yeah, because if devon keeps on this path, then he will destroy the company that he and his father, neil, built, and I can’t allow that to happen, if only for neil’s sake.

Jill: So it’s about neil?

Victor: And devon. Now that devon is more intimately involved in abby’s life and my grandson’s life, I want to make sure that neil’s legacy passes through his son onto my grandson.

Jill: And you would be willing…?

Victor: Willing to offer you the money that you think chancellor deserves.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

dante. Hey. Come on in. What brings you by? I was just checking on you, actually.

[ Knock on door ] Dex, open up. We need to talk. Uh, it’s, uh… not — not really a good time. Okay, well, make time. It’s important.

[ Sighs ] One sec. Can I come in?

[ Dramatic music plays ] Josslyn? So, it all makes sense now. You’re dex’s mystery boss? You still love chase, don’t you? Doesn’t matter. We’re over. Which really hurts because…yes. I’m still in love with chase. Ugh, I keep telling myself that I’m gonna get over it and that the feelings will fade and eventually disappear. But every time I see him… your heart starts to race. Butterflies kick in, and it’s all I can do but to grab him and tell him how badly I want him back.

[ Doorbell rings ] Literally saved byhe bell. I’ll get that. What is this? What, mousy librarian or something? You like it? No! It’s not altogether original. Come on, let’s go. Wait — mnh-mnh! Where? What do you mean, where? We’re going back to the safe house. No. No? No. The nurses’ ball cannot survive without me. Um, hello?! I’m standing right here. All right. If victor realizes that you’re alive, this whole operation goes up in smoke. Not to mention that people’s lives are at risk. Do you understand that? Do you want that on your head? I’m guessing this is why laura refused to sell charlotte’s elq shares — because she knew you were still alive.

[ Scoffs ] No more games, valentin. What is going on? A group of us, including laura, are working secretly against victor cassadine. Who else is in the group? Anna, felicia, robert scorpio, and… lucy coe. Not exactly a combat-ready bunch. I’ll say. If victor is gonna use the same kind of firepower he did in crete, you’re gonna need somebody with a military background. Do you have anyone in mind? Me.


No, o-of course I do not want people to die. I mean, come on. I didn’t want luke to die. He w– he was a very special friend to me. You remember some of his nurses’ ball performances? The disco that he did? He was so amazing. And this cause was so important to him, and he would want me to — stop talking! Okay, listen. I understand that you are so disappointed that you can’t participate in this year’s nurses’ ball. But here’s the thing. Victor is planning something big — potentially catastrophic. It is up to us to end it. At the expense of the nurses’ ball? Come on! You know everything we have done, the nurses’ ball did for robin! Oh, don’t play the robin card with me. I’m — I’m just saying that the nurses’ ball is very, very important to you. I know. And if anybody knows, that’s me. I know that. Exactly! That’s my point! Maxie: Ladies! Enough! Okay, I cannot believe I’m about to say this, but we already have a solution. Lucy came up with it. You’re volunteering? Well, that depends. I need to hear the plan first. Victor cassadine has a long-term plan, some grand design that has to be stopped. I don’t have details, but I know it involves a necklace. A necklace? Mm-hmm. Containing diamonds cut from the ice princess. What? But why is this necklace so important? And — and does it have anything to do with operation demeter? I don’t know. I don’t know why victor cassadine would go to such great lengths to interrogate you over operation demeter. I just know that he wants the necklace because it has a code or a formula engraved on one of the stones. Those are beautiful. Um, is — is willow here? Oh, yeah. She’s, um, in the living room. Chase. Hi. Willow. How are you feeling? Pretty much the same.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s not worse. So that’s good.

[ Chuckles lightly ] These are for you. You remembered. That you’re obsessed with daffodils? Of course I remembered. Thank you. That is really, really sweet. I’ll leave you two to visit. It’s good to see you. It’s good to see you, too.

[ Sighs ] So, what’s the latest? Big news — we’ve decided to reschedule the wedding for after the bone marrow transplant. So there’s more to celebrate. Exactly. Do you have a date for the transplant? Not yet. My “great-aunt liesl” was on medication that has to be completely out of her system before she can donate. So, in the meantime, I am keeping myself busy planning a summer wedding in the rose garden. Everyone’s pitching in to pull it off. You know, brook lynn has been a huge help.

[ Sighs ] Do not eavesdrop. Do not eavesdrop. Come on, brook lynn. Get it together. It doesn’t surprise me that brook lynn is stepping up. You bring out the best in everyone. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Michael’s a lucky guy. I thought I made it clear I don’t want josslyn anywhe near this. You did. And you agreed. That’s right. But the situation has changed. Yeah, apparently. You need to go, josslyn. What? We’ll talk about this later. It’s vital right now that I talk to dex. Michael. Michael, it doesn’t matter, okay? There’s no point. I already know that he’s collecting evidence against sonny. I know about pikeman. What i didn’t know was who he was working for. And now I do. All right. The job’s over. You’re leaving port charles tonight. Uh, rocco said he saw nina in the lobby, and she looked upset. For my self-absorbed teenager to notice that and then to tell me about it, she must have looked really upset, so I figured it had something to do with willow. No, no, everything’s the same on that front. We’re waiting on liesl to be cleared for the transplant. Oh, that’s good. Yeah. All right, well, hey, look, your relationship with nina, that’s your business. I don’t want to pry. You want to talk, you know where to find me. I’ll be down the hall. Rocco’s right. Yeah. It’s — it’s nina. She’s upset. And it’s my fault.


As my employer, you can fire me, but you can’t force me to leave port charles. He can’t leave, michael. Sonny will think he’s a traitor. And then what happens?

[ Sighs ] Sonny will track him down and have him killed. But more importantly — more important than your life? I can’t leave joss.

[ Sighs ] Sounds like you two already talked about this. Yes, michael, we’ve — we have talked about this, okay? Look, the best option is for dex to finish the job that you hired him to do so that you can turn sonny into the feds. This is why I didn’t want you involved in this. Why not? You know how I feel about sonny. Okay? I feel the same way you do. Let me help you take him down. Right. And what happens after that? Sonny goes to prison where he belongs. And avery and donna are devastated. Not to mention dante and kristina. Now, I’m prepared to deal with the fallout from that, to take on their anger and their blame. I didn’t want any of that to fall on you! So, tell me. What’s the deal with nina? Well, it’s not like we’re breaking up. At — at least, I hope not. I love her as much as ever. So what happened? She’s experienced what I would call the realities of my world. It’s a lot to process. Is that why you got the guards all over the building? I had a — a security issue. A security issue, huh? Yeah. We didn’t hear anything about, um, shots fired or missing persons, so I’m assuming you didn’t report it to the police. I-I have reason to believe that the — the focus was solely on me. The reason I got guards on my kids and nina is — just a precaution? I told carly and ava I don’t want donna or avery anywhere near me. I’m guessing you told nina the same thing. I just hope that when this is over, she’ll come back to me. What solution? Wasn’t the whole point of this rude ambush to — excuse me. It wasn’t a rude ambush. Might have been an ambush. Not a rude ambush. [ Chuckles ] Wasn’t the whole point to get me to agree to be your eyes and ears of the nurses’ ball? Uh, yes, but you seemed less than enthusiastic. Oh, I’m sorry. Did I not have the reaction that you wanted? Oh, what, you needed, like, some time to adjust? Yes. And — and I happen to be an amazing event planner. I have my own ideas, my own vision, as you like to call it. So, I’m happy to collaborate, lucy, but I will not just be taking your orders. You don’t — y-y-you don’t get it. We do not have time for collaboration. Don’t you see? The nurses’ ball is syncing up with the 60th anniversary of the hospital. Which means we are, like, right in front of this speeding freight train that’s bearing down on us. I am the only one that can pull this off. I am the only — I agree. What was that? No. 100%. That you should do everything lucy tells you to do, just the way she tells you to do it. I’m sure you’re an excellent event planner, but I’m sure that you’re very capable of following lucy’s lead, especially when it’s for the greater good. Fine. Anything you want. “Just the way”… just the way you want it. Guys, I really think this could work.


R latest duet. Oh, you liked it? I love it. It’s a beautiful ballad. Thanks. The majority of the props should go to blaze. I mean, her vocals were off the charts. Maybe one of these days, a girl can actually get an autograph?

[ Both laugh ] Willow, I never took you as a groupie. Well, I guess I just can’t help myself. Your wish is my command.

[ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] Are you gonna listen in on a private conversation, brook lynn? . You are not. You are a grown-up.

[ Exhales deeply ]

[ Playing chords ] Besides [Sighs] You don’t want to know what chase thinks of you now, anyway.

[ Plays chord ] Chase: You’re also caring…

passionate… and incredibly sexy… and I’ve been falling for you for a long time now. And even if you don’t feel the same way about me, I-I still had to tell you, because we miss 100% of the shots that we don’t take. I couldn’t agree more. I’m sorry. Wanted to let you sleep in. Why would I want to sleep in when I could spend my morning with you? Oh. Chase: Just tell me. When were you gonna let me know that dante asked you to write a letter to the civilian complaint review board recommending that I get my badge back? Never? Brook lynn: We can work this out. Brook lynn, you lied to me! You kept me from the thing that makes me who I am. There’s nothing to work out, all right? It’s over!

[ Plays discordant note ]

[ Sighs ] You blew it, girl. Maybe you should write a song about that.

[ Clears throat ] “To one of the bravest, strongest, and best people I know.” Back at you.

[ Inhales deeply ] So…

[ Chuckles ] What is it like being an honest-to-god rock star? Oh. [ Chuckles ] It’s cool. I guess I’m gonna miss it. Why are you going to miss it? Well, hopefully when the review board meets this spring, they’re gonna reinstate me. Back to police life. If it all works out, yeah. I mean, look. Do I enjoy singing? Sure. But the only reason I have been performing is so I can stay in close proximity to blaze’s sleazy manager. Brook lynn’s ex-manager, right? Linc brown. He is the worst. I mean, sexual harassment, shady business practices, you name it. So is the plan to find something to charge him with or…? And hopefully soon. Because I won’t feel right going back to the force if it means leaving blaze and brook lynn to contend with that sleaze. Aha! “Aha”? W-what does that mean? This is really about helping brook lynn. When sonny was holding dex because he suspected him of being the hook, you came to me for help. Yeah, I did.

[ Scoffs ] How did I not see it? I should have known right then and there you were too close to this. I should have pulled the plug! No, no! You shouldn’t have. Okay? Dex saved my life when heather attacked me on new year’S. What are you talk– britt westbourne saved your life. Well, she helped fight heather off, yes, of course, but she was losing that battle until dex showed up. He’s the one who fired at heather. That’s what made her run off. I-I’m just hearing about this now? Michael. I work for you. Anything related to that is fair game. But what I have with josslyn… it’s personal. Why wouldn’t nina come back? I mean, she’s obviously crazy about you. I mean, she’d have to be, given the grief that you guys went through over how you got together. I mean, after enduring all that, why would she just walk away? How do I explain this? I was a different man in nixon falls. Ha ha! No kidding. Kinder. Simpler. Hey. Yeah. But you know what I noticed? A lot of that kind of followed you back here. This has been a pretty peaceful time in your business. That’s what I’m saying. Hm. I was free to focus on my family. And nina? Yeah, she — she made me better in a lot of ways. She got you to cut back on your drinking. That’s the least of it. I think — I think I misrepresented my life. Not that nina didn’t know that it was dangerous or what I do for a living is allegedly… ah. Thank you for that. …Illegal. But now… she’s getting an up-close and personal view of it for the first time. What if she doesn’t want to be in my life? What about you? What about me? If nina’s not in it, is it still the life that you want? Uh, we haven’t been able to crack the code, but we do know that it’s pivotal to the success of my father’s plan. And how do you know that? Because he’s still looking for the necklace, with the help of his operative, eileen ashby. Wait a minute. Deputy mayor eileen ashby? Yeah, that’s the one. She’s working for victor? She was. Now she’s working for us. We’re having her deliver a duplicate necklace to victor. With a false code engraved on it. That’s right, and we’re hoping once he has what he thinks he needs, he’ll make a move. So you trick victor into making his final play, but you don’t give him the means to accomplish what he’s actually after. And in the process, he incriminates himself. And that’s how we’re finally gonna bring down my father.


Sorry. Stay here. Alright. It’s all clear. Lucy! I-I’m c-coming. I’m coming. I just — it’s impossible to text with these glasses on. I just can’t see what I’m doing. Okay. You seem to be managing perfectly well. Confetti cannon or just a big drop? Hm. I don’t know. Which would have the most impact? Can you just stop? What?! What are you doing? What — what — what is the problem? Hey! Hey, hey, hey! What is the problem? You almost got us all killed. Listen, this whole plan hinges on complete secrecy. Hence you and lucy faking your death and anna playing fugitive? Well, actually, victor thinks that anna is dead, as well. He thinks he’s got a straight shot for the necklace. And he would have no idea that I was involved. So what do you say? Will you help us? But if secrecy is key, what are you doing out here out in the open like this? Lucy coe has gone rogue. Of course she has. She wants to take control of the nurses’ ball. Anna’s gone after her. So anna is risking discovery, too. I mean, maybe it’s a good thing we showed up. Like you said, we’re not exactly combat-ready. We could use you. You got me. I mean, yeah, the only reason I got into the music business was to help brook lynn. And at the beginning, it was great until I found out there was a lot of stuff that she wasn’t telling me. I’m sorry. You didn’t deserve to be treated like that. Not by brook lynn. Or by me. Willow, I w-wasn’t trying — I know you weren’T. But it doesn’t make it any less true. I married you when I was already in love with michael. Because you thought I was dying. We all did. I told myself I was doing the right thing, giving you one final gift to make you happy. And you don’t believe that anymore? I-I do. My intentions weren’t the problem. It’s just… now that I’m faced with dying myself… hey. You’re not there yet. Faced with the possibility. I’ve realized that life is not only too short, but too precious to waste any time on lies. Don’t misunderstand. I am very grateful that you saved josslyn’s life, okay? I don’t even want to imagine what would have happened if you hadn’t been there. Neither can I. But the bottom line is, we had a deal. We did. And when you first told me to stay away from josslyn, I had every intention of doing just that. Turned out to be impossible. So you lied. About my personal situation. I’ve never lied about anything relating to pikeman or sonny. Speaking of, there’s something you should know. Someone tried to kill sonny in an ambush the other night. Where? In one of his warehouses. Your father wasn’t hurt, but I was grazed. Are you okay? I’m fine. But the good news is, sonny trusts me now more than ever.

[ Sighs ] I can’t have you near this, joss. Michael — I can’t! If, god forbid, something happens to you… why would anything happen to me, okay? I’m not in the line of fire! He is! That’s because it’s his job! Look, I hired somebody from a security firm because I wanted somebody who understood the danger. Look, I get it, okay? You hired him to perform a service. But he is so much more than that to me now. Okay? I-I care way less about sonny being brought to justice than I do about him surviving this! Well, you know what? That’s going to require some sacrifices. Now, if you want dex to see this through, sonny has to trust him. Did you not hear the part where dex saved sonny’s life? It won’t matter if sonny finds out that you two are together, which means he can’T. A-are you ordering me to stay away from joss? No. I tried that before. It didn’t work. And even if you were willing, josslyn clearly isn’T. Look, this isn’t about policing your relationship, okay? This is about taking sonny down. And until that happens, sonny can’t have any reason to suspect you. So if you want dex to live through this, make sure he doesn’t find out that you two are together.

[ Door closes ] It’s a little too late to ask me if this is the life I want. It’s the life I got. It’s the life you chose when you were too young to know any better. Well, you know how it works. If I decide to leave the business, then I got to leave the country, I got to leave my family. I’m not willing to do that. Maybe there were some things that you liked about mike from nixon falls. There were some things that i liked about mike from nixon falls. Really? What? Yeah. Well, you were, uh… less reactive. A little — I don’t know — calmer maybe. You seemed like you were prioritizing your family over the business. But I have a feeling all that’s about to change. It has to. It’s just a lot harder than I thought.


I wasn’t honest with you when we were married, but I’ve learned my lesson and I’m going to be honest with you now. This sounds serious. It could be. And I swear I’m not trying to meddle. Says every person before they dive into meddling. You couldn’t keep your eyes off of brook lynn earlier. What? It’s true. You light up when you’re around her, chase. I would know. Once upon a time, you used to light up like that around me. I think — I think you’re seeing things that aren’t there. Am I? Okay, yes, I still have feelings for brook lynn because what we had was real. What you had was love. And I can’t just flip a switch and turn that off because… brook lynn really hurt me. I’m not pretending she didn’t or even saying you were wrong to end things between you two. But what if brook lynn is your person, chase? Is being right really worth being without her? You’ve been… uncharacteristically quiet. From the minute you showed up, I knew valentin wanted you involved. And it was your choice to make. I didn’t want to influence your decision. Now that I’ve made my decision? You want my opinion? Always.

[ Laughs ] First tell me why you said yes. Because. Victor stole two years of my life. I-I can’t let him get away with that. That’s not all of it. No. No. Come on. It’s not about revenge for you. It’s — it’s victor’s lust for power and for control. And this has been going on for so long, for four decades. He infiltrated the wsb, and now he’s moving toward some mysterious goal. Nobody knows what it’s about. And personally, I don’t need to know… to know that it is a very serious threat. The man has to be stopped. A-and I think that valentin and the others, I think they need — they need my help to do it. So now tell me what you think. I think you’re doing the right thing. But you have reservations.

[ Scoffs ] Don’t you? I have many. Jason died on cassadine island. And now you’re going after victor. I don’t want to lose you, too. The only reason that you weren’t shot with a real bullet — you understand? The only reason that you’re able to breathe today is because victor thought he had a use for you. But now, I-if he’d seen you tonight, he would have killed you in a heartbeat. Okay. I get it. I am sorry. Do you get it?! I do. I swear. I ap– I apologize. Okay? I really never had any intention of jeopardizing you or me or the whole plan to get victor. I-I didn’T. And, you know, I-I-I-I promise it’s just me. Sometimes I get carried away. Yes! You’re the poster child for getting carried away! Well, good news. I-I am 99.9% sure that victor didn’t see me in the restaurant. Great. What restaurant? What? You were in the metro court with victor? One minute. T-two minutes, tops.

[ Door opens ] Oh. Yeah, you’re right. She just — she’s blown the entire operation.


I had good life before nixon falls. Treasured my family, accepted the risks. The, uh, expected periodic episodes of danger? I didn’t say I liked it. I, you know — comes with the territory. Yeah, pun intended. You can’t miss what you never had. Except now there is something to miss,ight? Because what you had in nixon falls, you got to give that up, right? You know, it’s not permanent. I-I’m gonna resolve the situation, and I’m gonna be able to get — to get my kids and nina back. But there will be another situation. I mean, there always is one, right? I just hope that my family a-and nina stick with me. Well, I will be here. I’ll tell you that. I’m not going anywhere. I appreciate that, especially coming, you know — your profession. What, ’cause I’m a cop and you’re an “alleged,” uh… thank you for that. …Gangster?

[ Laughs ] Hey. This isn’t about that. It’s about being father and son. I don’t want to leave you. The sooner I get evidence against sonny, the sooner this will be over. But until then, I can’t risk alienating him or doing anything to make him suspicious. Which means you can’t risk being seen with me. Yeah, michael was very clear about that. I don’t like it, but I get it. No one says you have to like it. I’m gonna be staying at sonny’s for at least another day. But after that, we can figure out a way for us to meet. In the meantime, you can’t come by here, okay? And if you see me for whatever reason… pretend like I don’t know you? Now, that would be suspicious. You can say hi. Just don’T… act like I care? I’ll try. But I do care. Any regrets? Me neither.

[ Door closes ] Wow. When you meddle, you don’t mess around. You just go right for that jugular.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I have less patience for wasted anything these days, but especially wasted time.

[ Door closes ] Hey, chase. Chase: Hey. I don’t think I’ve seen you since the news broke. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Thank you. Looking forward to it. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you this, but you’re about to marry a very wise, perceptive woman. Now, if you excuse me, I have somewhere I need to be.

[ Sighs ] So where’d you disappear to? Um, I was in the final stages of a project. I was tempted to cut my losses, but I realized the best way forward was to see it through. The sooner, the better. Sounds like you have it all figured out. Yeah, I just — I just want to focus on what really matters. You and the kids. I like the way you think. Well, coming from such a “wise and perceptive woman,” I’m honored. So what was all that about with, uh, chase? It was driving me crazy, watching him and brook lynn dance around each other. So…I might have stuck my nose in where it doesn’t belong. Here’s hoping it works. You working on a new song? So far, I’ve got about three verses on regret.

[ Sighs ] It’s garbage. Brook lynn quartermaine does not create garbage. Oh, you’re just being nice. I’m being honest. I love your songs. I love a lot of things when it comes to you. Talking with you. Spending time with you. Really? I miss that, brook lynn. I miss us. I’m being ridiculous. I’m sorry. You are not being ridiculous. Look, if our positions were reversed, I — I’d be scared, too. I’m tempted to go just to keep an eye on you. You can’t go anywhere. I know I can’T. I can’t because willow’s so sick and my kids and my grandkids need me. I get it. Well, truthfully, I’m actually kind of happy that you’re gonna stay and you’re gonna be safe. You have to stay safe. You have to stay safe. If it makes you feel any better, I have had a little bit of training and experience with this sort of thing. I can — I can handle myself. Counting on it. And I know you have to go for all the reasons you said, but if and when you go… …promise me you’ll come home. Promise me. I promise. Hey. Um, I-I-I was totally unrecognizable. I am dressed as a librarian. Tell him. She’s dressed as a librarian. Yeah, yeah. See? See? Look. Look. And I promise you, the minute I saw victor — the second, I turned my back. Well, I suppose this near-miss underscores the need that, uh, we stay indoors until this is all over. Yeah. Yeah, I-I-I get it. From this moment on, I am going to be the essence of cooperation. Hope you mean that, lucy, ’cause I really need you to. I do. I-I-I swear I do. And — and it’s really good because maxie’s gonna be my eyes and ears for the ball, and she’s agreed to follow all my instructions to a “T.” So that’s good, too. And I’m gonna be really good. Could I please, please, please have my burner phone back, please? Thank you! Okay. A-and I really am sorry. I-I’m not kidding. I-I’m very sorry. And I apologize for any trouble I may have caused. “May have caused.” Hi, bobbie. It’s me. I-I know. I’m calling you from the landline.

[ Cellphone chiming rapidly ] Something is going on with my cellphone. Uh, I wanted to let you know I have some new ideas for the nurses’ ball. Lots and lots of new ideas.

[ Chuckles ] What? I thought you would have been more upset. If I was, I’d be a hypocrite. How come? I couldn’t leave without you. So I went for a walk and I ran into carly. And drew cain. Whoa. Regular party. Long story short, uh, they’ve been briefed, and drew cain is on board to help us out. Really? That’s — that’s actually very good news. I hope it is. Yeah. I’m really sorry. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I kind of attacked you. I really overreacted. But when I came in here and I saw that the table was overturned and stuff, I thought maybe that you’d taken me at my word, gone to europe… um, which I would have deserved. But I would have — I would have really missed you. Anna, if victor knew you were alive, he would kill you. And I have loved you always. We’ve lived our whole lives apart, and if I were to lose you now, I couldn’t take that. Ohh. Let’s not lose each other through all of this. Let’s bury victor instead.

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: Thomas, this dress was beautiful on paper, but this? This is flawless. How– how did you get it done so fast?

Thomas: Long hours and a lot of motivation.

Petra: I’m gonna miss all of our fittings. Any chance you’re free for a drink later?

Thomas: Uh, I– I actually think I’ll be working late, but maybe rain check?

Petra: Anytime.

Thomas: Okay, well can you tell martin no changes? Thanks.

Steffy: I see you’re interested in someone that’s not hope.

Thomas: Uh, yeah, she’s amazing, but I’m more focused on being the best designer and brother and person that I can.

Steffy: I’m really proud of you.

Thomas: I hope– I hope dad feels the same way. Have you talked to him about bringing me back to the company.

Steffy: I wasn’t sure you were gonna come back to the company until I heard from hope.

Thomas: Yeah. Um, well, I mean, we’re all moving forward, right?

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: I think that’s– that’s a great thing. There’s no way that he would be upset about that.

Steffy: Honestly, I’m um– I’m beginning to wonder how involved dad wants to be. He hasn’t been back to L.A. In so long.

Ridge: Can you please get back to your house and get sheila to talk some more?

Bill: She can stew. I’m on a donut break.

Ridge: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you were complaining about how long this was taking.

Bill: You know what? All you have to do is watch tv like it’s some kind of twisted reality show. I am living with that nut in my home, pretending to be the lovesick boyfriend, alienating my family, all so I can keep them safe.

Ridge: At least you get to see your family. I’m stuck in here with chen! No offense.

Chen: I’m sitting here, guys, and thanks to both of you, there’s a very good chance this murderer might finally be put away.

Bill: And then our families will finally be safe, once and for all, from sheila carter.

[ Phone buzzing ]

Sheila: Deacon, you can’t just hang up on me like that.

Deacon: I’m sorry. I had to, all right? Can you come over?

Sheila: What?

Deacon: Come over to the apartment, sheila, please. I need to see you. It’s urgent.

Bill: There’s no way sheila can figure out that her phone is bugged, right?

Chen: No.

Bill: Why does deacon want her to come over? All that stuff she was saying about me being on to them. I don’t like it. We can’t have any mistakes. I have worked too hard and sacrificed too damn much for this thing to fall apart now.

Thomas: So, dad’s been out of touch?

Steffy: He checks in, but you’re right. He hasn’t been back to L.A. In so long.

Thomas: You’re starting to worry.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Hope: Hey.

Thomas: Hey.

Hope: Um, I just saw petra in the new design. I mean, thomas, it is gorgeous.

Thomas: I’ve been feeling incredibly inspired lately and I think we’re gonna take hope for the future to new heights.

Hope: Well, I like the sound of that.

[ Thomas chuckling ]

Sheila: We– we shouldn’t even be talking right now.

Deacon: Which should tell you how important this is.

Sheila: You miss me. I get it.

Deacon: Sheila, this isn’t some booty call, all right? When I say it’s urgent, it’s urgent.

Sheila: I just need to be home before bill gets back.

Deacon: Just get over here as soon as possible.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I’ve had it with sheila. It makes me want to literally vomit in my mouth sharing my bed with her. Seeing her nine grimy toes walking around my house. I gotta do something more drastic.

Chen: We need to stick to the plan, maintain her trust. Get sheila’s confession.

Ridge: Mm-hm. And when we do, she’ll be out of our lives forever.

Crack the science

of stronger hair

Steffy: Hope and I wouldn’t have had you come back to the company if we didn’t think that you’d changed.

Thomas: Oh, this is just the beginning, you know? I am planning on improving every part of my life and that also means doing the best designs I have ever made for you, hope.

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Just give me a second.

Hope: Hey, is uh, is this one new?

Thomas: Yeah, actually I just finished that one last night. What do you think?

Hope: I mean, I really like it. What do you think about maybe dropping the neckline a little bit?

Thomas: I like that. We can also– we can bring the embroidery around from the bodice.

Hope: Mm, it’s dramatic, but that is what makes your design so compelling, thomas. The element of surprise.

Thomas: Mm. I like dramatic.

[ Both chuckling ] Um…

Hope: It’s uh… it’s good to have you back, thomas.

Thomas: Thank you. That means a lot. It’s not gonna be a problem?

Hope: No, no. I… think we’re gonna create a lot of buzz together.

Thomas: I love that. Buzz.

Hope: Um, so you know how we were talking about either doing a theme or structural design? I feel like this one’s still a little bit structural.

Steffy: Hope thinks you’re hot.

Thomas: I’m not lying to you.

Steffy: So, you’re telling me hope just walked in on you in your underwear. You know, we have a locker room, by the way?

Thomas: You know what? Forget I said anything.

Hope: Stoning instead of embroidery?

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: I like that. It definitely plays into the fantasy element.

Thomas: Okay, we could do that.

Hope: So, we do it…

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Sheila: Hey. I can’t stay. I’ve got to get back to the house before bill gets home. I don’t want him to ask me all kinds of questions about where I’ve been. Well, why am I here?

Deacon: Sheila, we gotta talk.

Sheila: Hello, that’s why I am here. What’s going on?

Chen: Copy that. Hold position. Agent murphy confirms sheila did go over to deacon sharpe’s apartment. I’ll get another update once the target leaves.

Bill: Maybe I should’ve left her in jail when the cops took her out of my house, ended it there.

Ridge: It wouldn’t– no. It wouldn’t have been the end of it. She would’ve found a way to get out.

Chen: We kept her in L.A. Under surveillance.

Ridge: You know, what she did to steffy and finn was despicable, but not her worst crimes, right?

Bill: She has to go away for first degree murder.

Chen: As the two of you, along with chief baker, knows, she’s a person of interest in at least a couple of unsolved homicides.

Ridge: Yup. Killing lance, dr. Garvin, it should be enough to put her away for life, no parole.

Bill: Maximum security prison.

Chen: She trusts you, bill. Thanks to your act with the judge, she believes you control her freedom. It was a good call bringing him in on this.

Bill: Steffy bought that hook, link and sinker. She believes I bought off mcmullen.

Ridge: She does. I wish we could bring her in on this, bill.

Chen: But you’re all committed to keeping this operation secret.

Ridge: Yeah.

Bill: It’s the only way it’ll work. Everyone has to buy in so sheila buys in. If she gets one inkling it’s a setup, she’s gone.

Ridge: She’s gotta crack.

Bill: She needs to crack because everyday she doesn’t is another day I’ve gotta lie to my family.

Ridge: You’re protecting them.

Bill: It doesn’t make the lies any easier, ridge, especially the biggest one. Makes me sick every time I have to say it. I’m in love with… with sheila carter.

[ Bill sighing ] Hi, I’m katie, I’ve lost 110 pounds

Hope: This lace is gorgeous.

Thomas: Yeah, we do wanna keep it subtle though, right? So maybe use it to accent the bodice?

Hope: I like it. Some added texture.

Thomas: Great.

[ Phone chiming ] Oh. I almost forgot. They need me in the sewing room. Uh, we’re good here, right?

Steffy: Yes, yeah. We’ll catch up later.

Thomas: Okay, cool.

Hope: Oh, thomas. Don’t forget your sketch.

Thomas: Uh, keep it. We’ll talk about it when I get back.

Hope: What? I– I trust your brother’s instincts.

Steffy: Yeah. You’re giving him a lot of encouragement.

Hope: Is there something wrong with that?

Steffy: I just thought you might be a little more reserved.

Hope: I mean, well, it surprised me too how easily we were able to fall back in step with one another.

Steffy: In a purely professional sense, right?

Hope: How else would I mean it, steffy?

Deacon: Don’t act like you’re the only one taking risks here.

Sheila: You asked to see me. Why?

Deacon: I put a lot on the line for you.

Sheila: And I am greatly appreciative of all that.

Deacon: And you know how I feel about you.

Sheila: Yeah, because you show me every time we’re together. But we don’t have time for any of that today, deacon.

Deacon: We don’t have time for anything. Not today… or ever again.

Sheila: What?

Deacon: Sheila, hope stopped by the restaurant when you and I were on the phone call. She’s proud of me. She’s finally proud of what I’m doing with my life.

Sheila: So you– you’re worried she’s gonna find out about us. Oh.

Chen: I’m gonna check in on the other team.

Ridge: You know where I’ll be. You knew this was gonna be a challenge.

Bill: We are– we are way past challenge, ridge. This is nightmare territory. Every day, I have to wake up next to that– that creature. Never let my guard down.

Ridge: None of us can let our guard down. But steffy and her family are being left alone and that’s because of you.

Bill: I think that’s maybe a veiled thank you.

Ridge: I think you’re reading into stuff. There’ll be plenty of people thanking you when sheila’s gone.

Bill: Well, right now, they all think I’m nuts.

Ridge: Falling in love with sheila, that’s a nutty thing to do.

Bill: And that’s why I have to work so hard to convince everyone. Keep them away, make them hate me. Burn every bridge to keep them safe from that monster.

Ridge: Temporary.

Bill: It’s time I’ll never get back.

Ridge: Yeah, I know. But the time you will have with your kids, your grandkids, it’ll be spent without fear.

Bill: That’s the plan.

Ridge: And you, sir, are executing it very well.

Bill: You know what, ridge? I don’t need any pats on the head, I don’t need any

[Indistinct], All right? This isn’t a review of some kind of broadway performance, all right? This– this is real life. The fact that this is life and death and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Ridge: You don’t think I know that? The fbi is on our side.

Bill: I need to make sheila think I’m on her side. Us against the world. Us against my family. I have to stay focused on the end game. That’s the only way I can get through this.

Ridge: All right, good. Then do that. Focus and get the information that we need.

Music

Hope: Do you think I’m being unprofessional?

Steffy: No, no. I… okay, I’m going to be honest. Are you gonna be able to work with my brother?

Hope: Um, we already are and very well. I mean, you can see that.

Steffy: Yeah, I don’t wanna make something out of nothing, but…

Hope: Okay, steffy. I’m not sure what you’re talking about because you’re the one that insisted that I take thomas back as my lead designer.

Steffy: Absolutely. I’m glad I did that. Hope for the future is gonna be amazing, but should I be concerned about how this is gonna affect you personally?

Hope: Oh. Steffy, I already talked to liam about this.

Steffy: Liam is your business. You and thomas are mine.

Hope: Okay, and we’re getting along great.

Steffy: I’m just wondering how this is all gonna play out, given liam’s feelings for my brother and yours.

Hope: Mine? Steffy, what are you insinuating?

Deacon: If hope finds out about us, she’d never trust me again. If she even sees that you’re on my phone–

Sheila: Wait a minute. Wait.

Deacon: What?

Sheila: I’m on your phone?

Deacon: Come on, sheila. You know what I’m talking about. You gotta be going through the same thing with spencer. Keeping secrets, sneaking around.

Sheila: No, it’s really not the same.

Deacon: Hope just showed up downstairs earlier. If she just drops by here and sees the two of us together, she’s the only good thing that I’ve ever done in my life. The only pure thing, out of all my poor judgement, all my– my horrendous decision making and impulses. She’s my daughter, sheila. I love her. I can’t lose her. You’ve gotta understand that more than anyone.

Sheila: Yeah, of course I do.

Deacon: Do you?

Sheila: Yeah. That’s why we just have to make sure that we’re just that much more careful.

Deacon: You’re not hearing me. We can’t see each other anymore.

Sheila: You know what? Don’t lie to yourself.

Deacon: Sheila, this has to end!

Sheila: You… you can’t stop seeing me, can you?

Deacon: No. No, I can’T.

Bill: I’m telling you, this whole thing with sheila and sharpe, it could be a problem. I don’t like it.

Ridge: I don’t think it’s gonna be a problem. You’re her number one guy. You could give her things that deacon can’T.

Bill: Well, she’s right about that. I mean, all sharpe can do is make her pizza and license plates.

[ Ridge chuckling ] I’m her protector. I’m her defender. When my kids are telling me to come to my senses. When steffy is telling me that I have to protect her and my granddaughter. When katie is telling me that she’s gonna take will away from me. I have to stand there like a freaking mummy. I can’t say a word. And sheila, sheila tells everybody to get lost. Do you know how intensely frustrating that is?

Ridge: It’s necessary.

Bill: Well, it better pay off.

Ridge: It will pay off. You think you have problems? It pains me to say this because I don’t wanna like you, but this is working because of you. We’re gonna put sheila away because of you, when you get her confession.

Bill: If, ridge. If I get her confession. This was supposed to be a slam dunk. She’s so grateful to me, I just say a few kind words, I tell her I understand her and that’s it, but– but no. No, we’ve had to go way past that. I’ve had to play things I can’t even imagine. And then this catatonic stoicism due to deeply painful emotions. I had to reach for things in my life that I put away a long time ago. How long? How long do I have to play this broken, lost man who’s only found love in the arms of sheila carter? Sheila carter!

Ridge: How long? You know how long! As long as it takes to get the truth. So whatever you have to do, I’m sorry. If you have to go to your past and open up wounds, I’m sorry! We need her confession!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

If it wasn’t Stefano, then who was the last person in that chamber? I never said it wasn’t Stefano, but you strongly implied it, and you said that you kept that person alive for over a decade and impressed his feet even for you. You are impressed. Well, we are women of science. Of course we are. Yeah. And I would think that you would be dying to tell people about your achievement.

So am might not share it with us. I mean, who are we going to tell you raise a good point. I suppose I wouldn’t her to brag a little about one of my great successes.

There’s no sense in drawing this out any longer. You might as well go ahead and kill her. No, no, no. You don’t wanna do that Megan. Call him off. Kate, you destroy the serum, but you see you to me now. I’ll do what you want. Just give me a second chance. No, Bo No. You know you don’t want to do it. Oh, I think he.

Actually, she’s right. Thank you. Oh, what are you doing? This could get messy. You don’t want blood all over the lab, do you? Ah, good point. How about to take this outside? Great idea. Kill her outside and then leave her to rot. Hmm.

Thank you so much, Andrew. I’ll be in touch.

The Isa granted visiting privileges for Harris. Michaels great. Let’s go. No, no, no. Hold on. You too. Should hit back to Salem. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You don’t want us to come along. John, this is something I need to do in my own.

I have brought people back from the dead, of course, but in this case, I think you will be awestruck as well as jubilant. When I tell you that’s a person in question is, look what we have here. I do hope I’m not interrupting anything. No, it’s fine. And just asking me questions about my new serum. Rolf was just telling us that you were planning to use it on Kate, like she’s some kind of Guinea pig.

Where is she? What have you done with her? Well, you don’t need to worry about those tests anymore. Kate refused to cooperate, so she’s gonna suffer a different trait now.

Okay. Megan’s gone. You know, you don’t have to follow her orders. You can, you can say that I got away, or the, the gun jams. I know you don’t wanna do this.

Move

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

Ah, Katie, will I ever hear from you again? What will it take to make you reach out?

Do I have to plot another murder?

Maybe I’m crazy. I just imagined it all.

Okay. That’s good. That’s good. I think this is a perfect place for you to die. Okay. Look, I, I, I don’t know what Megan stands to you. Oh, no, not about her. Okay, well that’s good because she’s crazy and you need to get the hell away from her bow. Elena, Kayla and I, we all know you. This is not you. So me the real blow.

See a sweetheart of a guy most of the time, but you are definitely not a stone cold assassin. Okay? Do you know how many people are going to beat overwhelmed by the fact that you’re so alive? You need to think about. Okay. Because you loved her, why would she think if she saw you like this?

Ms. Brady, welcome to Isa PSYOPs. Thank you, agent Rose and uh, Ms. We’re so honored to have you visit us. Agent Donovan called and said you were coming, but not to fango out. You and your late husband are kind of legends around here. That’s very flattering. Thank you. My condolence is on his death. Thank you.

You must still miss him every day. Commander Michaels is in here. Yes, right inside. May I please see? Of course.

We’re never getting out of this door. Now I wanna tell Megan comes back for us. What do you think she’s planning now? I mean, saying that Kate is going to suffer a different kind of fate. I, after all she’s been through, um, she did find a cure for the virus. She put us into a cryogenic state until she decides to wake us up, but she wanted to keep us alive for some reason.

Remember Ralph said that she was planning on using the serum on Kate. I don’t know. I think Megan’s new plan sounds ominous at best. Yeah. Do you think I’m overreacting? No, I don’t. I think we’re in a world of trouble here.

Do you think it might have been shortsighted for you to order bull to kill our test subject? How so? You can make a new serum, right? Yes, but it’ll take time. Fine. And we still have two women that we can test it on. Megan, don’t question me Wolf. Get to work very well

and no more procrastinating. It’s been months since Bo and I were reunited. We all the respect, you’ve already waited 40 years. And I don’t want to wait any longer than I have to.

Oh my God, it works. Bone. You’re conscious.

It’s me, Megan. Oh, what’s darling? I knew you would come back.

Can you say something, please?

What’s hope?

I literally brought that man back to life and all he could think about was her. Yes, you gave me quite an earful about it at the time. Why do you have luck? Megan, let me outta here. I have to fly my wife. Come on. I gotta find hope. Megan,

Ralph. Thank God. Last thing I remember I was in the park. I was dying in hopes. I have to get to her. As you can hear this must stop is you’ve taken me away from a very important project your brother Stephan did. I don’t care about that. Megan, I need you to make this stop. I cured more of his brain tumor.

And I need you to cure him of Hope Brady,

I did as you asked. Yes, but it didn’t turn out as I expected.

Why would I care what hope thinks? Because she’s your wife. Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but ex-wife got a divorce. Okay, well, there’s the mother of another one of your exes whose heart she broke. I know all too well that hope was the one great love of your life and that you never got over it. Isn’t that true?

Oh, what a beautiful story. Okay. Time to die. Okay. Is at least, uh, take this. Take my wedding. So you can return it to Roman.

Sorry man. I know you’re closed. Not to you guys. Come on.

Right. What are you, uh, doing back to her? What’s going on? Did you find Megan? Well, not exactly bud. We got an. What’s going on? Your nephew, Andrew did us a real solid, let us access ISA records. So we found out where Megan went after she left Ruckus. We got there. It was too late. She’d already cleared out. So that was the end the line.

Maybe not. We went into Hope. Oh, yep. What was she doing? Same thing we were doing, I suppose. She has an idea that Harris Michaels might know something that could lead us to Megan. Well, if he does that, bastard’s never gonna tell. Maybe, maybe not. You see, when he was in Montreal, he indicated to hope that he thinks maybe he.

Was brainwashed by Megan, so if she used the same techniques on him that she used on us, he could be reachable. Kayla got through to me. Marla and Paul were able to reach John help figures. She gets a face-to-face with Michaels. She might have a breakthrough there also, but Harris never really loved hope, did he?

I guess we’ll see about that.

You got him locked down pretty tight with good reason. Commander Michaels has been quite uncooperative. I can’t say that surprises me. Advised arrangement after he sent the third agent to the hospital. Thank you. One of our top psychoanalysts Donovan’s wife. Has met with him several times, but he’s been highly resistant to treatment.

Yes. So I see. I’d like you to let me in there with him alone. Yes, Erin. It’s some privacy that would be inadvisable. As I said, he’s very dangerous. Yes, I understand an agent Rose, but I need to look him straight in the eye for this to. I can call Shane if you’d like. It won’t be necessary. I trust you. Thank you.

Here’s your panic button.

We’ll be right outside if you. Thank you agent.

Hello, hope.

It’s been a long time.

I had such high hopes at first.

What? What is happen? What, bro? What are you doing to me? Just relax. Bob. You’ve been through a little procedure. That’s all procedure. What kind of procedure on your brain just need to make sure that it’s worked?

How does that make you.

Ah, excellent. As I said, , the procedure worked exactly as intended. Yes. He no longer wanted hope, and he was loyal to me. He did everything I asked him to. But the spark between us, the the spark was gone.

What’s with the yearbook? Well, it’s our yearbook though. Don’t you remember? We are a voted best couple. Yeah, so well, we could be that happy again, . That was a long time ago, but the feelings can come back. I know they can.

He was supposed to love me. I warned you that a procedure could not create romantic feelings out of nothing. They’re not nothing. They’re just. Dormant. Now, this serum, this serum had better work as you promised when Megan’s said that Kate was going to suffer a different kind of fate. Now, do you think that she was just trying to scare us to get us to behave?

I mean, why would she kill Kate after she had gone through so much trouble to revive her? Well, she wouldn. And even if that were her intention, I, Katie was just, she’s resourceful and, and she’s able to talk her way out of any dire situation. I know she will. Here again, as I recall, you and Roman were over a long time ago.

Well, we got back together again recently and actually we got. On my deathbed, although it was the first time, you know, because I got sick and then I recovered and then I relapsed, and then apparently I died. And yet here I am. Which is pretty miraculous. Wouldn’t you say ? No, no. Ralph made it happen. Have Megan’s request.

Oh, well Ralph makes a lot of things happen, doesn’t he? Did you see I’m a survivor? You’re a survivor. Roman’s a survivor. Do you remember, do you remember saying goodbye to him on that beach when you thought he was dead? Because Roman loves me. If you kill his wife, he’s gonna be devastated. Is that what you want?

So you only think that hope can get through this Harris, my close guy. I mean, he might not know anything even if, uh, she gets in to talk and after the way he got the upper hand on both of you. Oh, hey, we were on Bush, man. Come on. That’s right. Hey, we’ve been prepared on that. Hey, relax. Okay. I’m not questioning your skills.

All right. I’m just worried about hope. The point is he is in ISA custody. It’s a highly controlled situation. We wanted to go with. , but she insisted she had to do this on her own and you know how damn headstrong she can be. Yeah. She almost got herself killed last time she got involved with this guy. I hope she’s being safe this time.

What are you doing here? Why would you even want to talk to me after everything I did to you and your family?

The last time we saw each other in Montreal, you said you thought Megan had done something to you, brainwash. You said that you wanted help. We got you that help Harris, but I’m confused because ever since then you have fought it every step of the way. Why is that? I was lying. I said whatever it took to mitigate that.

Punish. No, no, no. I don’t. I don’t believe you. If they were two, you’d still be keeping up with that. No, I think that you are still fully under a million’s control and why? It’s the reason why you wouldn’t open up to Kimberly, and that’s why I only see the real you when we’re alone. Harris, look at me, Harris.

I came all this way today.

Remind you of what we had. There was nothing between us. We had was a card. I was just playing you to get to the prisons just like you were playing me. No, it’s not true. Not in the beginning. I wasn’t. Here is something, something grew between us. Before I realized that you were after the prison, you said it yourself.

It’s the reason you couldn’t pull the trigger. When Megan had urged you to kill me, I said what you wanted to hear. Yeah, yeah, I know. To communicate your punishment. I heard you.

All right

then. Tell me this. Why? Why did Megan have to hire Thomas Banks? Put him up in the rafters to kill me? You could’ve killed me. You could’ve done it from two feet away. It’s a backup plan. Why am I still alive, Harris?

Because I failed. No,

because you succeeded. You succeeded. Aris, you stopped.

I am alive because of you.

You felt something for me.

You still do. It’s real. It is.

I.

What about you?

Do you feel something for me too?

Do you don’t hope is risking her life? Is it worth it, Roman? Megan’s out there somewhere behaving like a true Demir Stephanie’s daughter through and through who knows what she could be planning right now to hurt even more people we love. She’s still a threat. We need to stop her. Whatever it takes. As you recall, I made no promises, but if it works, This serum will allow you and Bo to go back again and start at the beginning.

It’s about time my flight was delayed from Jakarta and frankly, I’m not even sure why you summit me. I thought my work was done. Not quite. Although Bo has forgotten his feelings for hope, then what’s the problem? The problem is, That the spark between us, between bow and I is gone. And how do you suppose I can change that?

What are you asking me to do? I read an article in the Salem Spectator the other day about an orchid that seems to have magical healing properties and or could you grew in your lab before it disappeared? And what does that have to do with. I’m just wondering if you might be able to use it to help bow and me to turn back time.

Ah, you want to reverse the aging process? Oh, and I lost so much. And you think the orca could be your own personal fountain of youth? Almost as good as a time. Is it possible? I know you told the police that it’s gone, but I wonder if you might not know where I can get my hands on it. Actually, I do.

When we’re young, again, like when we first met, I know he’ll love. Instead of just following my orders like a loyal soldier, you know, he has never once questioned what I’ve asked him to do or why.

No one knew he was in Salem. They all still think he’s dead and they’ll never know otherwise. Come on, we’re Homan thinks you’re dead. I pull this trigger. We’ll make a damn bit of difference to him. I know, because eventually he will find out what you. I guess the truth always comes out, doesn’t it? Both. I don’t really care if the truth comes out.

I don’t care about Roman. You know? I don’t believe that. I really don’t. I mean, I think that you’re lying to yourself because I think everything that I’ve said to you deep down has struck a chord with the real vore who is devoted to his family, who adores his sisters, Kimberly and Kayla and his brother Roman, and his children and his grand children.

Sean, Douglas, Sierra, Zach, Claire, Chelsea. I mean, you could forget about Chelsea, your daughter. With my Billy. I mean, I can see you trying to deny that you have feelings for hope, even for Roman, because certainly those relationships are fraught. They, they’re complicated. There’s not a baggage there. But the parents love for their child.

That is pure, that is unshakable, even in the worst of circumstances. So you see Chelsea is my flesh and blood. Blood. You wanna see blood? I’ll show you blood. Listen to me. You are not going to break Chelsea’s heart by killing her grandmother. You and I. That you are not going to pull that trigger. You know that I will only to shut you up.

So you were together for a whole year. When you kissed me, I felt something that wasn’t just part of the game.

Come on hope. I want the. Okay. The truth,

as much as I wanted to stay disconnected, there were moments I thought something,

okay, I admitted it. I can, I can you Can you admit?

Or maybe, um,

Me just think about what Megan was willing to do to get revenge on hope. Yeah, on a pure spine. Well, just because Bo lived another woman, it’s not like she could have ’em anyway. Now. and if she has succeeded in getting hope out of the way. Yeah, I still can’t believe it. I mean, Megan Hathaway is still alive and our wives are damnit.

You know what guys? I mean, sometimes I feel like I’m going crazy. I mean, I, I tell people, you know that Kate is talking to me from the great beyond

through an.

So have you picked up on anything from her lately? Now she’s gone silent and that’s what makes me wonder. I mean, did I. Did I imagine that Paulina herd of two?

I saw Kayla. She came to me. John, what about you? What about you? Did anything like that happen to you? Did you ever hear from Martin Le?

I haven’t heard anything at all from Doc. I thought appealing to to Ralph’s ego might get us somewhere. It was getting us somewhere. I’m sure that he was about to tell us who was in that fourth chamber when Megan walked in. Not that it even matters now. But it might because if somebody had been in there and they got away, maybe if they’re friendly, they was able to come back, they could help us escape.

You don’t think My relationship with Chelsea was complicated. She’s responsible for the death of one of my kids. I know, and you got past that because of your love hurt. Both, you know, Chelsea and Max London now because they’re, they’re so happy. Bella and Shawn are happy. Sierra and Sierra and Banner sailing around the world just like you would hope to, but you know who’s not happy?

Hope hope’s miserable because she, because she misses. And you could, you could fix that. You have another chance. I, there’s no fixing that. It was over a decade ago. Let’s see. So you’re just, what? You’re just meeting’s lap dog now. So some may think it’s selfish of me to keep them all to myself, but I brought him back to life.

And I’ve loved him faithfully all these years. , which is more than anyone else can say, I deserve this. I deserve him.

Dr. Marlena, Evan. Dead virus claims. Third victim. I had no idea that you get sick again, sorry ladies,

but I needed this beauty for myself.

Oh, hey, what are you doing?

What are these women doing here? Oh, they’re here for us though. You see, with their help, you and I are gonna get back all the time that we lost and finally live halfway ever after.

When you got here a few weeks ago, Ralph, I gave you this facility and the plant continues to thrive. You can make limitless amounts of the serum. Quantity is not the issue. Assuming every single is just planned. When the testing process is complete and we are able to administer it, foe and I will be young again and we can start all over from the.

This time he’ll stay and he’ll love me forever and ever and hope will go off of some other poor stop.

Do not try to play me again.

You know, I can stamp your neck in an instant. You could, but you won’t. You can’t. Any more than he could bring yourself to pull the trigger. God, I went into yours.

You’re making sweet just like I was. You still are. Do you want that woman to get away with everything she’s done?

Like you give it down what happens to me? I do.

Course I Care. Harris, we’re not our only victims.

She kill my sister-in-law, Kayla and her brother, Roman’s wife, Kate Roberts, and hi. John Black’s wife. She’s, she’s killed a lot of people I love and care her about greatly.

Why should that matter to me? Because you were so much more than a trained assassin. You are a Navy hero. Before Megan got ahold of you, you were a good man. You were an honorable man, a good and honorable. You forget the fact that I killed two men. That wasn’t you. That wasn’t you. Doesn’t change the fact that that was the brainwashing Harris, you have the chance, the opportunity to get your life back.

To get back what’s real.

Don’t you want that? I wanna help you. Let me, let me help you and then you can help me make sure that Megan never hurts anyone ever again.

I, them, I don’t, I don’t care what Megan did,

didn’t do it for me. Harris,

do it from me.

Good coffee man. We’ll let you know if we hear anything from Hope. Hang here to Roman. Yes, you too.

Damn. A hell of a wind man. Looks like uh, we’re in for storms. Yeah, that’s what they say. Okay. You guys be careful out there. Yeah. All right.

You okay? Oh yeah. Quiet time’s the hardest, I guess. I keep trying to reach out somehow to John and my family. Have to know how much I love them. Oh, I end up picturing in there the pain. Hello. I remember how I breathed for Steve when I thought I’d lost him, went on for years. And to think about our families going through that, well motivate us to get out of here.

That’s what it’s

don’t.

Ms. Brady, is everything all right? Yes, everything is. Perfect. In fact, manager Michaels has agreed to another session with Dr. Brady Donovan and I have a feeling that, uh, he’s gonna be a lot more cooperative this time around.

No, I mean, nobody’s lap dog really. That’s not what it. Like to me, I mean, this is Megan’s idea. This was in your idea. Take her outside and, and, and kill her. Now, I don’t know. It, to me, you just look like a glorified Aaron boy, I pray you’re right. You know as well as anybody that we have to keep our faith right now.

We are going to get out of here. The two of us and Kate, so you think this is the best time to insult me? , I, I, I don’t know. I. It’s just that I’m surprised. I’m really surprised. I wouldn’t think that you would fall in with a two bit wannabe Ste like, Megan, stop, stop, stop. Or what? I mean, you’re gonna shoot me because that’s what Megan expects you to do.

I, I don’t know. I don’t understand where is the boat that, that I knew that was a rebel that would’ve come in here and would’ve blown off this whole lap and taken off on his motorcycle without ever bothering to look back at the flames. I mean, this is not an action movie. This is real life, my life. And yours for the next few seconds anyway.

Fine. That’s fine. I, I just never expected to see you go out this way. I mean, how many times did you take down Megan’s old man I, that though Brady, I did not follow orders, did hated anyone to tell him what to do. That Bo. Right now we think that you’re disgusting that you’re doing something just because someone ordered you to do it.

Someone, my, the likes of Megan’s Hathaway. How about Chris? I want you dead. Do you? Do you really? Because if you do, Pull that trigger. Shoot me.

Did you hear that the deed is done. I heard now you need to get back to work and make some more of that serum so we can test her Marlena and. And if it works, then it had better control. And I will be young and in love, and we will finally have our happily ever after. Ah, it’s done. I know. I heard the gunshot.

I’m very proud of you though. Okay, now look, I’ve got something else that I need for you. I don’t give a damn what you need. I don’t take orders from you, lady. It’s over.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Traci: Well, welcome home! How was your romantic getaway with diane? You know, you didn’t stay away as long as I expected.

Jack: No, we cut the trip a little shorter than we planned.

Traci: Well, judging from the smile on your face, it looks like it was the drama-free escape you were hoping for.

Jack: It was very relaxing. And I have some exciting news.

Traci: Oh, well, I love exciting news. It’s so much better than that normal news.

Jack: We decided to keep this just with the immediate family, okay?

Traci: By coincidence, i am immediate family. Now, come on. Stop stalling. What you got for me?

Jack: I proposed to diane. And, lucky me, she accepted.

Traci: Oh, my god. Jack, that is exciting news. Oh, I’m so, so happy for you.

Jack: Thank you, traci. Thank you.

Traci: Ohh. This happened awfully quickly.

Jack: Yeah, I know. It was the timing, the romantic setting. Everything just fell together. It was perfect.

Traci: Oh, I just knew it.

[ Laughs ] I knew that you were going to be able to find this kind of love again. I know you didn’t see it, and i know you were content to immerse yourself in the arms of your family, but it just makes me so happy that you’re so happy. You have the biggest, most loving heart of anyone I’ve ever known. And if anyone deserves this, it’s you.

Jack: I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. And I’m not sure everyone else is gonna be quite so enthusiastic.

Jeremy: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Oh, god. What are you — what are you — what are you doing, yelling my name? I just made this whole show that I washed my hands of you and your plans for diane. I — I — I just made a big deal out of it. W-we can’t be seen here together. That’s why we’re meeting in your room.

Jeremy: I just finished my morning workout, and my endorphins are in overdrive. Now I’m ready to sit down and discuss next steps.

Phyllis: Okay, well, let’s do that, but let’s leave before we get busted. Let’s go and get out of this…

Diane: [ Exhales sharply ] I should have known. Every word out of your mouth was a big, fat lie.

Lily: Thank you.

Daniel: Good morning.

Lily: Hello. Morning.

Daniel: Is everything okay? Are you ready for your arbitration hearing?

Lily: Um, yeah, everything’s fine. I just — I didn’t sleep very well last night.

Daniel: Figured as much, seeing that very large cup of coffee. Did you ask them if they’d sell it to you by the gallon?

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Daniel: Hey, uh, I was hoping maybe we could chat for a couple minutes before you head off to face this battle with devon.

Lily: Yeah. No, I have a lot I have to get done right now.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa, whoa, come on. Just sit with me for a minute. Maybe I can help you work through some of this anxiety.

Lily: Okay, daniel, I know that you think that maybe you can help solve things with devon and me, but we’re way past that point.

Daniel: Whoa, whoa. Hold on. You’re wrong. I know that that’s not an option anymore. I just want to make sure that you’re not second-guessing yourself.

Abby: How are you feeling? You got up a couple times last night.

Devon: Yeah, that was just to get water. I’m okay, though.

Abby: You don’t sound worried at all.

Devon: No. I mean, there’s — there’s no point to worry about something i can’t control. I know I have one of the best attorneys in christine. And she’s gonna put together a great case for me to keep control of hamilton-winters.

Abby: Yeah. I mean, I don’t doubt that at all. I just… you know, the one thing we haven’t talked about is the opposing counsel. This is gonna be the first time you’ve seen amanda since the two of you broke up.

Devon: Right. I still can’t believe that lily even did that in the first place, to bring my ex back, to twist the knife even more.

Abby: I know how difficult this is gonna be for you. And I want to go. I want to be there by your side. I want to support you.

Devon: I know. I know, and I appreciate you wanting to do that, but I really don’t think it’s a good idea if you come.

Daniel: Lily, you are a decisive leader, who is capable of making tough decisions. And I also know how important family is to you.

Lily: Yeah, it’s the whole reason behind this merger in the first place.

Daniel: Right. I mean, you pinned all your hopes on building a company and family that was working together. I know that you poured your heart and soul into making that a reality.

Lily: Well, I thought it would be a success.

Daniel: Right. Because business plus family equals success.

Lily: Yes, I know. It’s a faulty formula.

Daniel: Well, maybe this time there were just too many variables. I’m not really a math guy, so… look, all I can tell you is every time I would have a show, you know, an exhibit that was disappointing or even a single painting that just didn’t feel right, I would always wind up doing a postmortem afterwards. I’d analyze every aspect of it and try and figure out what went wrong.

Lily: Right, so that you could see how to do it better next time.

Daniel: Exactly.

Lily: Yeah, that’s exactly what I was doing last night. I just kept going over and over in my mind of how we ended up here. I just — I wish that devon and I could figure out an amicable solution.

Daniel: But you tried.

Lily: Yeah, I tried everything. I offered to give him the company name, told him I missed him and I wanted to work things out between us.

Daniel: I’m sure you did everything that you could. And you need to be clear about that when you walk into that arbitration. You didn’t want this fight. You did everything in your power to try and keep things from getting this far off the rails. There were just too many variables.

Lily: Why are you telling me this?

Daniel: ‘Cause I want you to stop beating yourself up and just accept the fact that you’re absolutely right to do whatever it takes to win.

Abby: I don’t get it. Why don’t you want me to go with you? I mean, I want to be there for you. Is this about amanda?

Devon: No, it’s not entirely.

Abby: Because I know how complicated this is for you emotionally, and I want to be there. I want to support you. I mean, are you worried that it’s gonna be awkward seeing her again with me by your side?

Devon: No, this is not about me. It’s about you. I’m thinking about you. Do you want to be in that room and sit across from her and know that she’s gonna do whatever she has to do and say whatever she has to say to win?

Abby: Alright, what are you so worried about? Are you scared that I’m not gonna be able to keep my mouth shut, that I’m gonna tell lily and amanda exactly what I think about what they’re doing?

Devon: No. You’re more than welcome to do that.

Abby: ‘Cause I promise I just want to be there for you. I want to support you. I want to have your back.

Devon: You want to know how to support me the best?

Abby: How?

Devon: I want you to stay home with our son and have the best day possible so that, no matter what happens in that hearing today, I know that I can come home to the both of you.

Abby: Okay.

Devon: Okay?

Abby: Yeah, fine. I will stay here with dominic, and we will have so much fun. But when you get home, we’re gonna throw our arms around you and give you lots of love and kisses and remind you of all the good things in your life. But I’m gonna be thinking about you every second of the day.

Devon: Well, I’ll be thinking about you, too. You have any idea how grateful i am for you? I mean it. You and dominic are everything to me.

Phyllis: Uh, excuse me, diane. I didn’t lie.

Diane: Oh, really? What do you call that phony emotional outpouring you gave jack and me at society? “Oh, I would never have anything to do with him. He’s dangerous. He’s a bad guy.”

Phyllis: I am shocked to see him here. I thought he was on his way to europe, so…

Diane: You’re lying, phyllis, and you know it. It’s obvious that jeremy never left town. And you know how I know that? Because he’s right here.

Jeremy: Hold on, diane. Phyllis is telling the truth.

Diane: [ Scoffs ]

Jeremy: I was on the jet, i was on my way, and I realized i forgot my lucky socks. So I turned around, come back to get them.

Diane: Oh, for pete’s sake.

Jeremy: Oh, come on, diane. You remember my lucky socks. I don’t dare conduct business without them. But the big surprise is that you’re back in town. What happened? Did you and jack get sick of each other already?

Diane: Well, I’ll admit we left town to get away from you, but then we realized what a mistake it was. Why should we let you have that kind of control over our lives? So we decided to simply ignore you and come back. Because, you see, jeremy, your tactics aren’t going to work on me. I’m not afraid of you now. You have no power over me.

Phyllis: Wow. Did you buy that? I didn’T. We used to struggle with greasy messes.

Devon: Are you gonna talk to your dad about him seeing you come downstairs in my shirt?

Abby: Ohh, yeah. I’m probably not gonna talk to him about that today because, um, I want to focus on you and everything that you have going on. Promise me that you will take to heart everything that christine has to say. And don’t let your anger get in the way. Just let her guide you through this.

Devon: I will not lose it. I promise.

Abby: Okay. ‘Cause I know that that anger is really coming from the hurt that you’re feeling. And, trust me, I understand. But lily will do anything to win, and she’ll probably use that to provoke you. This is about law and contracts. It’s not about family issues or an ex with an ax to grind.

Devon: I know. I know that. And I’m gonna leave it all outside the door. And I will not let my personal feelings affect what happens in that hearing, okay?

Abby: Okay.

Traci: Can you believe it, nikki? Tonight’s the night. It’s finally here. Thank you, honey. Thank you. The genoa city bicentennial gala. Oh, my gosh, we’ve been working so hard to pull all of this together, and it’s finally, finally gonna happen.

Nikki: Oh, I know, but it seems like there’s still so much to do. Oh, we are expecting a lot of press, local and national, so please double-check the rsvp list.

Traci: I have done that, and everything is accounted for. Um, and you’re absolutely right. There are going to be some amazing vips, both locally and nationally.

Nikki: Ah, fantastic. Just as we had hoped.

Traci: Yes. And how about you? Were you able to go over the numbers with michael and lauren for the caterer? The last thing we need is to run out of alcohol or food on a night like this.

Nikki: Oh, tell me about it. No, no, no, no. They are all set. They finalized the arrangements this morning.

Traci: Everything’s going to be perfect. This is the biggest event in genoa city in a really long time.

Nikki: Absolutely. This is going to be an unforgettable celebration, bringing together the former and current members of our community.

Traci: Oh, it’s so exciting.

Nikki: [ Sighing ] Oh. My only regret is that you and I didn’t get to spend a lot of one-on-one time together planning it.

Traci: Ah, I know, nikki. It’s just there was too much to do!

Nikki: That’s for sure. Well, it’s all coming together now. And things are almost set for a special presentation we have planned, too.

Traci: I am so looking forward to it. But you know what? The entire evening is going to just be spectacular. There’s something about a masked ball that really speaks to the novelist in me.

Nikki: Well, you’re right. There always seems to be a hint of intrigue and romance in the air when people arrive masquerading in a world of fantasy.

Traci: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: It should prove for a magical evening.

Traci: It’s my kind of party.

[ Laughs ] And, you know, the timing is just perfect, as well. I think that we really needed a joyous occasion like this, especially in light of recent events.

Nikki: Recent events? Like what? Are you talking about something specific?

Traci: [ Sighs ]

Diane: It makes perfect sense the two of you found each other. It’s just a match made in hell.

Phyllis: Hell. What was that like? I mean when you died. But you didn’t really die. Hey, but tell me — when you fake die, do you go to fake hell? How does that work?

Diane: Trust me, phyllis, you won’t be going to fake hell. I can’t believe you went running to kyle and summer with the news that jeremy had left town, knowing full well that they would relay that information to jack and me. You wanted to get us back to town and put us in danger. Shame on you! And you know what? I bet there wasn’t a moment’s hesitation before using your own daughter as a pawn in your scheme. How low can you go?

Phyllis: Is it hard for you to manufacture this level of outrage? Is that difficult? You know, the thing about you from before — at least you knew that you were a terrible person. But now it’s like you’ve just bought this fairy tale that you’ve created of, you know, saintly reform.

Diane: I have reformed.

Phyllis: Okay, now you’re just a hypocrite.

Jeremy: You were so much more fun when you were taylor jensen back in L.A.

Diane: I have apologized for my mistakes, and I have made every effort to prove that I’ve changed.

Phyllis: Okay, but, see, there’s still quite a few people who don’t believe that. There’s still a few people who will never forgive or forget what you did to them. And those people will be so happy if someone comes along and makes you pay for what you did. I mean, I’m not one of those people. But, anyway…

Diane: I hope that two of you enjoy each other’s company. I can’t think of two people who deserve each other more.

Phyllis: I don’t even know him.

Diane: It must really bother you, though, that all your attacks against me have only made me stronger and even more united with jack.

Phyllis: You actually believe that. Seriously? Things must not be that great between you and jack, or else you wouldn’t feel the need to scream it from the rooftops.

Diane: Mm. Yeah. You know what? It’s — it’s fascinating that you keep insisting that you don’t have any romantic interest in jack, and yet, my gosh, you’re so obsessed with the fact that we’re in love and we’re back together again.

Phyllis: Okay, well, I’m not obsessed, and you don’t have the capacity for love.

Jeremy: Unless you can fall in love with a bank account.

Phyllis: Well, look at that. He knows you very well.

Diane: Alright, alright, you guys can just keep attacking me. But pretty soon you are going to hear some news that lets you know your hatefulness won’t win. I don’t care what either of you think. I don’t have the time or the energy for your nonsense.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Traci: I’m just talking in general terms about things that have happened lately, nothing specific. You know, there’s just been a lot of circumstances that have affected a lot of us on many levels.

[ Sighs ] I think it’s a really great thing that we’re all going to get together to celebrate this historic event. Nikki, 200 years! It’s just important to bring people together to celebrate something positive and uplifting, right?

Nikki: Traci, you’re not a very good liar.

Traci: [ Sighs ] I know.

Nikki: So, what news were you talking about? Something at the abbott house? Diane and jack’s rekindled romance? Or were you referring to the fact that jeremy stark is back in town?

Traci: Jeremy stark. Why would you bring him up?

Nikki: Oh, I’m sure you’ve heard plenty about that man, all the danger that he poses to every one of us. And just for the record, luring him back to town was strictly phyllis’s idea.

Devon: I’ll see you.

Abby: Mm. I’m still worried.

Devon: You’re still worried.

Abby: I’m still worried.

Devon: For what? What are you worried about?

Abby: [ Sighs ] Honestly, what do you think’s gonna happen? You think I’m gonna hear something that amanda says and just freak out and start yelling at people and flipping chairs over or what?

Abby: No, nothing that dramatic, but I know you have that in you. Look, I have seen you passionate, I have seen you angry, and most people just see cool, calm devon. Nothing rattles you. But I know there’s a lot underneath the surface.

Devon: Well, it makes me happy that we’ve been in each other’s lives for long enough that you do know that about me.

Abby: But you know who else knows that about you?

Devon: Who?

Abby: Lily and amanda. And I don’t want them to use it against you.

Devon: I’m prepared, though.

Abby: Are you?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Really?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Okay. Because what if amanda — sit down. What if she gets in your face with a lot of questions?

[ Sighs ] “Mr. Hamilton, why should anyone believe you in these proceedings? You are a known liar, philanderer, and heartbreaker. You probably cheated in these business dealings the same way you cheated on me. So, why should anyone believe anything that you have to say?” Okay, that was probably a little too far, but, you know, something along those lines.

Devon: I understand what you’re doing, and, yeah, I know, she’s — yeah, she might say that.

Abby: Yeah, and we have to prepare for all contingencies.

Devon: Well, you’re preparing both of us.

[ Chuckles ]

Abby: How can you be so calm? There is so much at stake.

Devon: Because I know that no matter what happens today, I’m always gonna be able to come home to my life, which is you and dominic.

Abby: Yes, and that will never change, but…

Devon: Right.

Abby: I know how much this means to you.

Devon: Sure, it means a lot to me, but in the grand scheme of things… it’s like — it’s like that talk that we had a long time ago about love.

Abby: When was that?

Devon: You don’t remember that? It was a while back. I don’t know exactly what i said, but I remember that we both agreed that real love and a real relationship is when you can count on the person to catch you when you’re falling. And I know that no matter what happens today in that hearing, you and dominic are gonna catch me.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Right?

Abby: [ Breathes deeply ]

Diane: [ Sighs ]

[ Door slams ]

Jack: Hey. What’s got you so riled up?

Diane: You will never guess who I ran into at the grand phoenix. Phyllis and jeremy stark, thick as thieves.

Jack: Wait. He’s already back in town?

Diane: He never even left. We were right to suspect that phyllis was lying when she said that he had flown off to europe. And no doubt she was also lying when she said that she didn’t want anything to do with his plans for me.

Jack: Unbelievable.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: What am I saying? Of course it’s believable. It’s phyllis. She never changes. It’s not bad enough that she decided to throw in with this man. She dragged summer and kyle into it, too. She lied to them and used them to deliver her lies to us.

Diane: It was all a plan to get us to let our guard down. They wanted us to think that the coast was clear so that we would come running back to town.

Jack: The question is why? What are those two planning?

[ Door opens ]

Phyllis: What was that about? I mean, what is going on? What news is diane talking about? What is she up to?

Jeremy: Who cares? It doesn’t matter.

Phyllis: No, it does matter. She’s the bane of my existence. She is psychotic, okay? You give her an inch, she’ll take a mile.

Jeremy: Okay, I can’t let you get distracted. That’s exactly what diane wants. Whatever plan that she and jack have will be a moot point soon, okay? They’re planning a future together that’s never gonna happen, not if everything comes off the way we want. We have to focus on our plan. Now, do you think you can do that?

Phyllis: I got this, okay?

Jeremy: Now, I need your full attention on this next move. You take care of your end, I’ll take care of the rest. But I need to know — are you still on board with this 100%? Knowing where you came from,

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I occasionally get bladder leaks.

Jack: Whatever they are up to, I am not surprised that stark managed to get his hooks into phyllis. I am deeply disappointed. She has clearly let her hatred for you consume her to the point of no return. She has alienated everyone in her life.

Diane: And that’s exactly the kind of vulnerability that jeremy preys on. He’s playing on her emotions perfectly — not that I’m excusing phyllis’s part in this, not at all. And it doesn’t help that she sees us getting closer. It’s only making her even more dangerous.

Jack: Why does that even matter to her? It’s not like we have a chance of getting back together. I have made that very clear.

Diane: Jack, that’s not why she’s so angry. This goes back years. Decades. We fought over you. We competed for your affection, and phyllis feels like she’s lost.

Jack: Oh, come on. That’s ridiculous.

Diane: But it’s how she feels. Losing out on your love has filled her with rage towards me, towards you, towards the world. I mean, and in her mind, she doesn’t think that I deserve to be happy. She doesn’t think that I deserve you, especially if it comes at her expense.

Jack: Well, that is troubling because there is no remedy for that. If you are right, she has painted herself into a corner.

Diane: That’s what I’m afraid of.

Jack: I have been holding out hope that the threat of losing her kids might snap her out of this. That is what’s so frustrating. I know how much she loves them. I thought that would be enough to pull her back from the brink, make her realign her priorities.

Diane: She is so full of hatred that she doesn’t care about anybody. She only cares about herself and her vendetta against me.

Jack: It doesn’t make sense. She was so happy when daniel moved back to town. She would be able to be close to him again, even after she lost her job at marchetti.

Diane: Oh, oh, oh, when summer fired her.

Jack: Yeah, even after summer fired her, she had an opportunity to work with her son. And what did she do? She squandered that, too. I’ve seen this all before. She cannot help herself. She always gives in to her worst impulses. She did it with christine. She did with sharon. God knows she’s done it with you.

Diane: Well, and no matter how terrible her behavior is, she somehow finds a way to justify it all to herself. It’s frightening. I mean, phyllis’s drama mixing in with jeremy’s twisted psyche? God only knows what they have in store for me.

Jack: Whatever it is, don’t you worry. We will handle this together, soon as husband and wife.

Diane: [ Sighs ]

Jack: We’re not going to let them or anyone else take this happiness from us.

Diane: I hope so.

Phyllis: Don’t worry about me. I’m not gonna get distracted by anything that jack and diane have planned, okay? Don’t micromanage me.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Your confidence — it never ceases to amaze me. Anyone who doesn’t appreciate you doesn’t deserve to know you.

Phyllis: That’s for sure.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] We make a pretty good team, don’t we? Together, you and I, we could light the world on fire. I can see a lot of opportunities opening up for us, endless opportunities.

Phyllis: Okay. Alright. Stay focused.

Jeremy: I am focused.

Phyllis: No. I mean focused. That’s the name of the game. You got it? Nothing else can screw up what we have planned for diane. I have waited a really, really long time for this. Hey, I’m not gonna get distracted by some really handsome, strong-shouldered ex-con, alright?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] I’m flattered.

Phyllis: Don’t be.

Daniel: Listen, this is, uh, not on you. I mean, in my book, it’s all on devon. He’s the one who’s being selfish. He’s the one who’s being shortsighted. And where the heck does he get off acting like he’s the only one that can have any grief for neil?

Lily: Oh, my god. Thank you. I’ve been saying that exact same thing to him. Of course I care about what he and my dad have created together, and I honor and i respect that. And of course I want to carry on his legacy, too.

Daniel: Mm-hmm. And now you’re moving forward. You’re charting the course of what the chancellor and winters legacies are gonna look like in the future.

Lily: Right. But devon thinks he can change his mind and cling to the past and just throw away everything that we have worked so hard for.

Daniel: Right? I mean, he wants to forget about contracts, forget about agreements. He wants to forget about your time, your effort, your hard work, basically the opportunity for you to make your dream come true.

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: So you need to walk into that arbitration not thinking about what your brother wants, but what you want. You know? I mean, you have built something. You are carrying on a legacy, and devon — he doesn’t have a reason or the right to tear that down. Any judge will see that.

Lily: Do you really think so?

Daniel: Of course I really think so. I wouldn’t have said it if i didn’t think so. Yes. No, you have got this. Go get him.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

[ Sighs ] No, you’re right. Thank you. I mean, I should go, but thank you. I — I really needed to hear that. Thank you.

[ Sighing ] (Geri) I smoked and I have copd.

Devon: Okay. So, no more worrying, please.

Abby: I would be a lot less worried if you were more worried.

Devon: I will tell you what. After the hearing, I’m gonna come home and I’m gonna kiss you just like this. And then we’re going to spend some time playing with dominic. And then we’re going to get dressed and go and have an amazing time with at this gala tonight.

Abby: Well, that sounds wonderful. Can’t wait.

Devon: Me neither.

Abby: Good luck.

Devon: Thank you. See you.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Abby: You’ve been in love, right?

Devon: You know I have.

Abby: Well, what does it feel like? What am I missing?

Devon: Are you really asking me what love feels like?

Abby: Is that ridiculous?

Devon: No, it’s not.

[ Chuckles ] Um…

Abby: I just — I — I need an answer, some sort of point of reference.

Devon: Love is — is, um… dangerous. It can be dangerous ’cause it can pick you up and whip you around like a rag doll and you have no idea where you’re gonna land. But if it’s real, then you always know that someone’s gonna be there to catch you.

Abby: Yeah. Wow. Um… yeah, I’ve never felt like that before. Is that how you felt with roxy?

Devon: Yeah. It is. It is. I, uh… but where’s this coming from, abby?

Abby: Well, someone had the audacity to tell me that i shouldn’t be giving out relationship advice because i have never been in love.

Devon: Well, that’s not true.

Abby: Maybe it is. I mean, carmine, not love. Chavez, cute, but not love. Tyler.

Devon: That was real, right?

Abby: I don’t know. The whipped around like a rag doll part, that was — that was there, but I never knew if he was gonna be there to catch me.

Devon: That’s kind of the most important part.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: Thank you.

Jeremy: Nikki newman. How lovely to see you.

Nikki: Wish I could say the same.

Jeremy: I get why you pretend to be outraged with my mere existence. I can see why, given your lofty perch in genoa city society.

Nikki: You don’t know me. I don’t care about appearances. I just don’t want you here.

Jeremy: You know, of the three women in your little group who united solely for the purpose of driving diane jenkins out of town, I find you most intriguing.

Nikki: Oh, well, I’m sure phyllis naturally will be thrilled to learn that news.

Jeremy: You’re from the other side of the tracks. You know what it means to fight and scrape to get what you want. We both share that quality.

Nikki: Let me get something straight with you, mr. Stark. Don’t make assumptions about me. And we have just barely tolerated your presence here. You have a lot of gall coming back here after being arrested for breaking into our apartment in chicago and stealing my necklace.

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] I was framed. I think you’re smart enough to know that.

Nikki: And I think you’re smart enough to take some advice. Don’t press your luck. Leave town. Don’t give my husband an excuse to ruin your already pathetic life.

Jeremy: I can assure you that I am no threat to you or anyone you know.

Nikki: If you say so. Try convincing victor newman of that.

Jeremy: You turned on me rather quickly, nikki. It wasn’t that long ago when you saw me as the answer for all your problems with diane. And I find it fascinating that you’re willing to let all that go. Or maybe you believe that diane is the kind of woman who will eventually get what’s coming to her.

Traci: Well, this is a surprise.

Phyllis: Ah.

Traci: Uh, hi.

Phyllis: Hi. Good to see you. Uh, I was supposed to meet summer here. She just texted me and said she’s running a few minutes late.

Traci: Oh. Uh, well, I’m sorry. I — I’m — I’ve got back-to-back meetings and I’m heading out. Um, jack and diana are upstairs with harrison. I’m sure they’ll be down in just a few minutes. I guess you could…

Phyllis: Okay.

Traci: …Wait here, um, if you want to, as long as you promise you won’t steal anything in the meanwhile.

[ Both laugh ] Bye.

Phyllis: Bye.

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

Diane: What the hell are you doing? I’m jonathan lawson

Nikki: I think you’re overestimating my interest in diane jenkins. I don’t give her nearly as much thought as you seem to think i do.

Jeremy: Hmm. How admirable. You know, living in anger and resentment is such a waste of energy. It could suck the soul right out of you. It took me years in a prison cell to learn that.

Nikki: Mm. And they say crime doesn’t pay.

Jeremy: It also made me realize that there’s more to life. Instead of wallowing in fury and regret, there are so many more good and uplifting things that i could be focusing on, like this gala you’re helping to throw for the town’s bicentennial.

Nikki: It’s invitation-only, and you are not invited.

Jeremy: Well, maybe not yet, but I intend to make a donation to the sponsoring body of the event — historical society. Now, my finances may be in flux, so my — my donation may be modest at best.

Nikki: It’ll take a lot more than a donation to gain admittance to our event. And I can assure you, your name will not be on the guest list, no matter how many zeroes your check might have.

Jeremy: Nonetheless, I still intend to do my small part to make this gala a success. I have no doubt this will be a night to remember.

Diane: What are you doing lurking around? How did you get in here?

Phyllis: I’m not lurking around. Summer asked me to come here. I’m meeting her, and traci let me in.

Diane: Well, summer isn’t here, and I don’t believe for one second that that’s why you’re here. And look at you, once again using your daughter for whatever it is you’re up to.

Phyllis: Okay, I have no idea what you’re talking about. You have a very paranoid imagination.

Diane: Stop it. Now that we know that you’re working with jeremy, you shouldn’t be anywhere near this house. You have made it clear that you have it in for us, and I don’t trust you as far as I can throw you.

[ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh, here’s a text from summer. Okay. Well, she can’t meet after all. Nice chatting. See you later.

[ Sighs ]

Lily: Hey, devon.

Devon: Hey, lily.

Lily: [ Sighs ] It’s our last chance.

Devon: It’s our last chance for what?

Lily: Once we start this, there is no going back. I mean, we have to try to find some common ground, devon. Please. Please, won’t you to at least consider talking about it?

Amanda: Lily, don’t say another word.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 lucy? Have you seen lucy? No, why? Is she not in her room? No, I just checked. She said she wanted to take a bath and read martin’s letter. I didn’t hear any water running.

[ Whispering ] Lucy? She’s not in the bathroom.

[ Sighs ] Damn it! Oh! I’m so sorry, ma’am. Oh! Oh, that’s okay. Are you alright? Uncle victor, just the man I wanted to see.

[ Lowered voice ] I’m fine. Really. I promise. Shh. Are you sure? Thank you. [ Chuckles ] Bobbie: Well, that went well, don’t you think? Maxie: Better than well.

[ Chuckles ] I can only hope that lucy is someplace smiling, knowing that the nurses’ ball can get on without her.

[ Laughs ] Have you changed your mind about getting evidence against sonny? I don’t know if I’d go that far, but he could have easily left me in that warehouse. But he came back for me and probably saved my life. Thank god.

[ Sighs ] So, yeah, I’d be lying if I said that didn’t make me look at things — and at sonny — differently. Hey, what has you so enthralled? None of your business. Should I be jealous? If you must know, I am looking at wedding gowns. So it is my business. Now that we’ve decided to postpone the wedding until after the transplant, I have enough time to order a custom gown. Whatever you want. I want to walk down the aisle to you in the perfect dress, feeling strong and healthy. I want to dance at our wedding…

[ Chuckles ] …And I want to look forward to a long life together. I want that, too. And it’s gonna happen. Just ask aunt liesl. Hey. She’ll — she’ll be cleared for the transplant in time, okay? I know it.

[ Door closes ] I know it, too. Well, hello. Willow, you needed to see me? There is something only you can help me with. Carly brought donna by. Donna’s here? What a treat. Unfortunately, she’s — she’s not staying. Because of me?


Would you mind giving us a minute alone? Of course.

[ Sighs ] And no eavesdropping. Wow. Well, uh, I’m a quartermaine. Eavesdropping is kind of in my blood. Everything okay? Yeah. Yeah, I’m good. Really? ‘Cause it doesn’t look that way to me. Look, it’s no secret that I don’t want my daughter anywhere near you, but that’s not why she’s leaving. Okay. Then why? Nina, I’ll tell you about it later. Let them go, ’cause I don’t want donna to overhear. Carly: Donna, can you come out here, please? Okay. Hey. Nina: [ Laughs ] There she is! Hi! Auntie nina! Oh! [ Laughs ]

[ Laughing ] Hi! Oh! Are you here for a sleepover? The hard truth is — sonny saving my life doesn’t change the fact that he’s breaking all kinds of laws with the pikeman deal. I’m talking federal laws. Just ’cause I’m personally grateful to the guy… doesn’t make him any less guilty. Yeah. And not for nothing, but ex-service here. Okay, violating the national security act goes against everything I trained and sacrificed for. Well, on the other hand… I’m now in sonny’s debt. Something else I don’t take lightly. And I don’t know — don’t I owe him? What would you owe him, though? A warning about what’s about to happen, or…? If you do that, you’ll be signing your own death warrant. What? Nothing?

[ Door closes ] There are footprints in the snow outside lucy’s window. She ran off while I was talking to laura. Oh, god, that is unbelievable. You know, this is all because of the nurses’ ball and the fact that she can’t face that it is going to go on without her. Motive does not matter at this point. Pack light. We’re getting out of here. Ferry to canada. Gonna go to toronto, take a flight to europe. I’m gonna contact laura, ask her what to do about charlotte. Charlotte? What are you doing? It’s risky to take her, but I’m not gonna leave her here if victor thinks we’re alive. No, no, no, no, no. Stop. Stop! What are you doing? Firstly, we can’t be sure victor thinks we’re alive. And secondly, I am not going anywhere. Maxie: Well, if we get the support from the guys we just met with, the nurses’ ball is fully funded. Up top. Bobbie: Awesome!

[ Both laugh ] That means all of the proceeds can go to hiv/aids research and charities. Yeah, I was nervous. Lucy always said these backers were a tricky bunch — “easily offended and hard to handle.” Well, I think lucy, god rest her soul, had the tendency to exaggerate prepping for the nurses’ ball. You know, it — it just made her seem more heroic, pulling it off, year after year. Yeah, that sounds like lucy.

[ Chuckles ] But look at us — we’re doing the job every bit as well as she ever did — maybe even better.

[ Chuckles ] It’s good to see you, spencer. With valentin gone and nikolas god knows where… cassadines have ever been more vulnerable. But seeing you renews my hope in our future. A future in the form of you and your little baby brother. That’s why I’m here. My little brother’s in danger, and I need your help to save him.


This was in my room. Did you leave it for me? I did. I did. The minute I saw it, I knew that you had to have it. I love it. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] You’re welcome. Will you read me the princess story tonight? I’ll wear my crown. Uh… sonny: You know — you know what? Uh… we’re gonna have a sleepover soon, but tonight you’re gonna go home to your mom, okay? But I thought I was staying here with you. Carly: I’m sorry, honey. I know, but something’s come up. But you’ll be able to have a sleepover with daddy really soon. I promise. Absolutely. Okay. Love you, baby. Love you too, daddy.

[ Chuckles ] Alrighty. Bye, princess. Alright, you ready? Yeah. Come on. We’ll talk? Sonny: Yeah. Yeah. Alright, come on. And let’s make it home in time to watch a movie, and we’ll pop some popcorn. How’s that sound? Donna: Good. Okay? Alright. Go on. What just happened? Whatever you need my help with, you got it. You might want to find out what it is before you say yes. Hopefully in remission so we can [Breathes deeply] Really celebrate. Yeah. Nice. That sounds like a good plan. But I still need your help. The only father I ever knew is dead. I’d really love it if you gave me away at my wedding. I mean, overall, the news is — is good, you know? I’m all for good news. Yeah. Um, well, liesl obrecht, she’s on — she was on this — this blood-thinning medication and was waiting for it to get out of her system. She’s on track to provide willow with the bone marrow transplant. And we’re so confident that’s gonna happen that we — we rescheduled the wedding till after the transplant. That’s great. Yeah, willow, she, um — she wants the wedding to be a real party, so she wants to be done with the whole transplant and in remission, and I want that, too. But, um, it all depends on aunt liesl. And by the time she’s ready to donate — I don’t know — willow could be too weak for it to work. We’ve talked about this. If sonny has any idea that you’ve been working against him, he’ll kill you. Or, more accurately, he’ll have someone else kill you. You’re right. Okay? Tipping sonny off is a terrible idea. He really was doing me a favor, wasn’t he? Leaving me out of the planning? Yeah, he gave you deniability. And now I know too much. I can’t warn him without exposing myself. This is hard for you. It’s harder than I expected. When I took this job, that’s all it was — a job. How did you even get hired?

[ Breathes deeply ] I was working for a security firm, basically private soldiers for hire. It’s mostly short-term jobs — two, three months at a time. They sent me on this interview. The employer wanted someone like me — young enough that sonny would want to train me and take me under his wing, but… look, the job sounded interesting. I liked the idea of being stateside, of being undercover, I guess. And everything was going according to plan until you busted me and sonny threatening that tabloid reporter.

[ Scoffs ] Then everything got blown to hell. Sorry.

[ Chuckles lightly ] Never. But I started to invest in taking sonny down — not as a job, but as something that needed to happen. And then, at the warehouse… when he could have easily left me there — most employers would — but he came back, and he personally rescued me. I hate feeling like I owe him, but I do. I get it. I owe him, too. He saved you. But telling him — it’s just not an option. I know, but — but if sonny goes to prison off of evidence that I secured… I’m gonna feel pretty damn crappy about it. Well, I mean, there’s another option, and we’ve discussed it.

[ Breathes sharply ] You could disappear. Once lucy has been discovered alive, victor is going to know that we staged our deaths. What then? How long until he realizes that eileen ashby has turned against him? He’s coming after us! Yeah, you don’t think victor would try to kill you? I don’t know that, no. But I know he’ll try to kill you. And I’m not gonna let that happen. Okay, you’re jumping to conclusions. How am I jumping to conclusions? Well, the only thing that we can be certain of is the fact that lucy left the safe house. We don’t know where she is. We don’t know that anyone has seen her. We don’t? She’s the exact opposite of discretion. Okay. Well — of course somebody has seen her. We certainly don’t know that victor has spotted her. Alright? We can fix this. I can find her and bring her back. Are you out of your mind? Maxie: Okay, now, what about the mistress — or master — of ceremonies? Another area where lucy may have exaggerated her own importance. I mean, sure, she always did a terrific job, but there were so many times when the ball threatened to cross over from charity gala to “the lucy coe show.”

[ Chuckles ] Still… lucy is irreplaceable. Yeah. I don’t know. Maybe we could divvy up the emcee duties? How so? Uh, epiphany, amy, and felix — they could represent general hospital. Ned and brook lynn could represent elq. Um, maybe even… what? Well, it would mean a lot to liesl if she could be included. That’s a gamble. Trust me, I’m aware. And there would be pushback. On the other hand, her daughter was co-chief of staff. My main fear is that liesl will get up on that stage and just completely lose control.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Laughing ] Just like lucy did every year.

[ Laughs ] I’ll be right back. I got to take a powder room break. Esme remains determined to keep the baby with her in prison.

[ Scoffs ] Proof that memory or no memory, she’s as selfish as she ever was. Exactly. Which is all the more reason to get my baby brother away from her. Now, is that something that you could accomplish with your… connections? I’m sure something can be worked out, but I will be needing some guarantees in return. Victor cassadine. I’ve been meaning to have a word with you about my brother.


I know how she thinks. I will be able to find her, and I’ll bring her back here. And risk you getting spotted. Listen to yourself. What? We have come too far to jump ship right now. What’s wrong with you? What? You’re better than this. I’m sorry? We’re professionals. When an op goes south, you walk quickly and quietly as possible. No. No. Not this time. No. We –you don’t stick around because sticking around gets you killed. We — we can’T. It’s too soon for us to bail. You’re over-invested. That’s what this is. What? This is about lucy. You dragged her into this. Now she’s a liability, and you can’t own up to that. You screwed up, and you can’t own up to that. That’s what this is! Do you want to stop your father? You know I want to stop my father! Okay, well, in my professional opinion, this is the best chance we have, and I am going to see it through. So, you feel free to go back to europe or wherever it is that you deem safe.

[ Door slams ]

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Grunts ] Jaime: Ms. Jones? Hey, jaime. Hi. Um, hotel management has been trying to reach you. Oh, no. Apparently, there’s a problem at the deception offices. One of the door alarms, they said? Gladys. She never sets it correctly. I’ll take care of it. Thank you. Luke’s passing was, indeed, tragic, but that was more than a year ago, and… as if I haven’t been counting the days since you had my brother killed. Excuse me? I did no such thing. You know, it just — it never made any sense. Luke cheated death a million times. And then he dies in some supposedly random tram accident? Right about the same time you slithered back into town. That is hardly evidence of a crime. I don’t have any proof — that’s true. Certainly nothing that would hold up in court. But I know you did it, victor. And one glorious day, you will pay.

[ Keys jingling ]

[ Beeps ] Hi. This is maxie jones at deception. Uh, I checked the office, everything looks good. And I reset the alarm on the way in. No, no, you don’t needto send anyone up. It’s all good. Okay. Thank you. Bye.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

[ Keys jingling ] Hello? Is anyone here?

[ Muffled scream ]

[ Grunts ] Joke’s on you! I know self-defense, you creep!

[ Groaning ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Lucy? I would be so honoredto walk you down the aisle. Thank you.

[ Chuckles lightly ] Thank you for — thank you for asking. I’m so — I’m truly touched. Well, I just want this wedding to be perfect. Michael’s been so wonderful through all this. Mm. He forgave me for keeping my diagnosis from him. He’s been by my side, taken… such wonderful care of me. Oh. He deserves a happily ever after.

[ Both chuckle ] Or at the very least, a kickass wedding reception.

[ Both laugh ] Well, that’s very generous that you want that for michael. But what about you? I don’t understand. What do you want, willow? For you? Right now, it’s a waiting game.

[ Sighs ] Waiting to see how long it’s gonna take the blood thinner to get out of liesl’s system. Waiting to see how long willow can keep going.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry, michael. It’s torture. Everybody tells us to s-stay positive. So what’s more positive than planning a wedding, right? It just feels like we’re pretending, you know? We’re burying our heads in the sand.

[ Sighs ] Because the truth is — I mean, the god’s honest truth is we just don’t know. We — we —

[ Breathes shakily ] We have no idea how this is gonna play out… and I don’t know what to do, brook lynn. I mean, I have no idea how to — oh. I’m sorry I’m — no, don’t be.

[ Breathes sharply ] You are being strong for everyone else, okay? You’re allowed to have a moment. Yeah, just one? As many as you need.

[ Sighs ] What is it? What?

[ Stammers ] You want to say something, what is it? I know you’re under so much pressure, and I don’t want to add to it. So if that’s how you feel, you just tell me and I’ll zip it. Done. I was just wondering, with all this uncertainty… is willow maybe more open to reconciling with nina? If carly’s not the reason why donna can’t stay over, what is it? I told you — it — it’s a business situation. Yeah, I’m aware of that. I see the bodyguards outside. There are two bodyguards at my apartment following my every move. It’s — it’s gone further than that. Well — sonny, how much further? You know there’s an attempt on my life. I just need to be clear that I’m not a target… …and I can keep the people that I love safe. Until then, my children are not gonna be visiting me. And neither are you.


This is your wedding, willow. More importantly, this — this is your life. You should live it as — as fully and as richly as possible. That’s the plan.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Good.

[ Breathes sharply ] Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] What did I do? Where do I start?

[ Scoffs lightly ] You’ve been so kind to me and such a rock for michael. You’ve been the best “funkle” to wiley and now amelia. I’m sorry. “Funkle”? Yeah. “Fun uncle.”

[ Both laugh ] I kind of love that. In this very quiet but steady way, you have become essential to the only real family I’ve ever been a part of. You have no idea how much that means to me. And that’s why I want you with me when I marry the man I love.

[ Breathes deeply ] I’ll be there. You can count on me, willow, always. I know. I’m not asking for nina’s sake. I just thought that it might help willow to make peace with her mother.

[ Sighs ] I’ve — I’ve thought the same thing. Thing is, though, is if willow —

[ Sighs ] Please, god, if willow lives, there’ll be time for her to decide if that’s what she wants. Okay? But — but — if these are willow’s last days… oh, I can’t even go there. If — if they are, then she shouldn’t have to spend them trying to make nina happy. Either way, it’s her decision, and I’m — I’m not — I’m not gonna try to influence her. Understood. Thank you for trying to help, though…

[ Sighs ] It’s just — that’s all I’m trying to do, really. For willow’s sake. You know? Not just for her, but for sonny, too. I mean, it means so much to him. After all he’s done for me… well, I’m glad you can, uh [Sighs] See the good in him when I can’T. Um, if willow asks where I am, can you — can you tell her I went to go run an errand? Sure. Great. Thank you.

[ Door opens ] Okay. This is a precaution only. I have no reason to think that my kids or you are in danger. And the reason I’m keeping you away and the guards is just for safety. I understand that you have to do this for your kids. I do. But I am a grown woman, and I do not like the idea of leaving you just because it’s dangerous. Nina, you can’t be part of this. Do you understand that? Believe me — I want nothing to do with any of this — except for you, sonny. I want everything to do with you because I love you. I love you, too. So what are we — a-and if I can put up with the guards outside and at my apartment… and if I can knowingly accept the danger — that’s a “yes” also — you — then — then why can’t I stay? Just because you — you may be willing to accept the danger doesn’t mean that I have to accept it for you. Joss, we talked about this. Okay? If I disappear, sonny will hunt me. That means I have to hide from everyone, including you. Unless you come with me. Look [Scoffs] If it was just me, I would. But I have a family. Willow is sick, and michael needs me. And I have a niece and a nephew. And donna and avery. I get it. You’re lucky to be so close with them. Don’t give them up. Ever. Well, I don’t want to give you up, either. I don’t want you to go into hiding, and — and I don’t want you to have to betray sonny. But most of all, I — I don’t want to be the reason that you make this decision. Whether you stay or whether you go, you have to leave me out of it, okay? Too late. Cannot tell you how happy I am that you’re here. Thank you. And I’m not entirely surprised. Oooh. You are lucy coe. Yep, that I am.

[ Both chuckle ] There was a part of me that always held out hope. That’s really sweet. Thank you, maxie. Thank you. Maxie: That being said… where have you been this whole time? And did you have to ambush me like that? Yep. Why? Because. That was the only way to save the nurses’ ball.

[ Waves crashing in distance ] Ab this is about lucy. You dragged her into this. Now she’s a liability, and you can’t own up to that. You screwed up, and you can’t own up to that. That’s what this is! Do you want to stop your father? You know I want to stop my father! Okay, well, in my professional opinion, this is the best chance we have, and I am going to see it through. So, you feel free to go back to europe or wherever it is that you deem safe. Carly: Aren’t you supposed to be dead?


Brook lynn: How’s it going in here? Drew agreed to give me away at the wedding. [ Chuckles ] You didn’t honestly think he’d say no. No [Chuckles] But it is nice to have that settled. One more item checked off the to-do list. I think drew is an excellent choice. Me too. Michael told me you guys are rescheduling the wedding until after the transplant. Two weeks was never a realistic timetable.

[ Both chuckle ] I really want to take my time and plan it all out so that when it happens, michael and I can really enjoy ourselves. Speaking of which, um, michael just ran out to — to do an errand. He wanted me to let you know. How do you think he’s doing? Michael? Great. He’s being a total rock star. I worry about him. I can see how hard it is trying to maintain a positive attitude. Probably about how hard it is on you. Okay. Look. I really — really do appreciate you and bobbie stepping up to steer the nurses’ ball. I mean, I also understand the urgency of it because… the 60th anniversary of the hospital is coming up, but you clearly do not know what you’ve taken on. And that’s clear why exactly? Because the ball is huge. I mean, it — it — it takes networking and — and vision and management, and it just requires a special touch. That’s all. Yours. Correct. Look, lucy, it’s really great that you’re not dead and all… thank you. That’s very sweet. But that does not mean you can come back here — listen. Unfortunately, I still have to stay dead. I kind of have to stay in hiding, which is a total drag, believe you me.

[ Sighs ] However, I can’t really be as hands-on as I have been in the past with the ball. But that’s okay, because I have you.

[ Sighs ] “Have me”? Mm-hmm. You are gonna be my eyes and ears.

[ Chuckles ] Yay!

[ Chuckles ] If you’ve quite finished making these groundless accusations, I was in the middle of a conversation with my great-nephew. Spencer, these accusations aren’t groundless. And I believe, in your heart of hearts, you know that. Now, laura has never actually come out and admitted to me that she thinks victor had luke killed, probably for fear that I would go after you with revenge on my own. But your grandmother and i have known one another all of our lives. And some things don’t need words to be conveyed. Laura knows victor is guilty. That’s why she wants you to have nothing to do with him. Alright. That’s quite enough. Now leave the boy alone. He’s your namesake. You’re called spencer after my brother. I know. How can you sit here with his murderer? I don’t suppose I can convince you I’m just a massive hallucination. Hm. Out of all the dearly departed people in my life, you might be the last person on the list that I’d want to conjure up. Yeah. Alright. I’ll concede that point. So you didn’t die in a sewer in paris? Catacomb. Whatever. It’s still an awful lot of trouble to go to to fake your death. It was a lot of trouble, and right now I’m hoping it wasn’t all for nothing. Well, you need to convince me to keep your secret. So start talking. Victor cassadine. I’m trying to prove that my father murdered your uncle luke.


I told you about my first wife. Yes. That she was pregnant and then she died in an explosion. She was my pregnant wife, and she died in a car bomb that was meant for me. After that, I didn’t know if I wanted to live or die. Then I-I got myself together. 20 years later, my son gets killed in a car bomb.

[ Breathes deeply ] Must have been horrible. It was — it was the w– I cannot — i won’t go through that again. The reason I’m asking you to go is ’cause I love you. And I-I don’t know what I would do with myself… …if I asked you to stay and something happened. Okay? Okay. I’ll keep my distance.

[ Sniffles ] Thank you. Sonny… promise me you’ll figure this out. Promise me we’ll have a future together. You’re my future.

[ Sighs, sniffles ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Door closes ] I go back and forth so often I’m giving myself whiplash. One second, it’s all gonna be okay — I’ll marry michael, get the transplant, live happily ever after. The next? I die… …and leave michael to raise our kids alone. He and wiley will grieve me.

[ Breathes sharply ] Amelia will never even know me.

[ Breathes deeply ] The prospect is [Sighs] So utterly terrifying. Of course it is. Huh! It’s ironic, isn’t it? What? When I married chase, it was because we thought he was dying. And now I’m planning my wedding, and I’m the one who — listen. Okay? I’m not one to feed some B.S. That everything’s gonna be okay when I don’t know that it is. But there’s still a life-saving option on the table, willow. Don’t lose sight of that. I won’T. Can I ask you something? Anything.

[ Chuckles ] Do you regret marrying chase? I regret the pain it caused that I married chase when I didn’t love him. Because he is so deserving of love. He is. More deserving than maybe anyone I’ve ever known. My turn… to ask you a question. You still love chase… don’t you? -Does it hurt? -Nothing hurts right now. I could just fall asleep with you. Why don’t you? ‘Cause I have to go back to sonny’S. Oh. So you’ve decided to stay? I’ve decided that the only thing that matters in this whole mess is being with you. So, yeah, I’m gonna stay. I’m gonna get evidence against sonny and turn it over to my boss. I would really like to know who this mystery boss is. Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm. Yeah. First, I would thank him or her for bringing you to port charles. And then I would slap them. Oh, for what? Paying you to risk your life instead of nailing sonny themselves. Trust me. This person has only good intentions. How can you be so sure?

[ Knock on door ] Michael: Dex? It’s michael. Open up. You can either leave now, or I’ll have you escorted out. That’s not necessary. I am sorry for your loss. And you are entitled to your beliefs. But I’m willing to give my uncle the benefit of the doubt.

[ Voice breaking ] Whatever he’s offering you in exchange for your loyalty, it’s not worth it. My apologies for all that unpleasantness. Now, where were we? We were discussing how I can get custody of my younger brother. And if that’s something that you can help me with, then you’ll have my full support. I’m sure you remember that you need to call bessoir, the best lighting director. Every decent show has a great lighting director. Bobbie would never, ever think of that. Okay. Enough about the lighting, lucy. Uh, no, the lighting’s very important. I’m gonna put that on the list. Are you not listening to me? I’ve been listening. Uh, the thing that interests me the most is how you’ve been in hiding while being presumed dead for months. Why, lucy? Who have you been hiding from? Anna: Me. If she’s got any sense.

[ Laughs ] Anna! Yes. Of course. Because you’re a fugitive. And you are also standing in my office. Do either of you care to tell me what the hell is going on? Yeah. Don’t have time. You, with me, now! I didn’t know you were so attached to luke that you’d be willing to disrupt your life for him in this way. My father is a criminal. Luke spencer is only part of his story. He’s also framed anna devane for the murder of lucy coe. So anna was with you in paris? I can’t confirm or deny who I’m working with. Come on. Valentin, I caught you red-handed, and now you’re stonewalling? Why should I trust you? It’s not like you’re a trustworthy kind of guy. How the hell do I know you’re not working with victor? Okay, maybe you won’t trust me, but maybe drew will. He’s my rival in business, but we worked well together against my father when we were his captives in greece. Drew: Well, I remember that. Because of the hell that we went through, I will hear you out, but don’t waste my time with lies or with anything else that you want to feed me. I want to hear the plan to take down victor, and I want to hear all of it.

[ Console beeping ]

[ Machine beeping ]

Ridge: How are you holding up, partner?

Bill: How am I holding up? How am I holding up? How do you think I’m holding up? I am ready. I am so ready to put sheila carter behind bars for life.

Ridge: You have to hang in there a little longer.

Bill: That’s easy for you to say, forrester. This little sting operation was supposed to last for a week.

Ridge: You said you wanted this done the right way.

Bill: Don’t tell me what I said! Fine, that’s what I said, but this has gone on for months. Months of that vile creature living in my home, sleeping in my– sleeping in my bed.

Ridge: And why is that? This is your idea. This phony love affair and she’s buying into it. Good.

Bill: Yeah, my love for her freedom. Makes me wanna puke. I hate that woman. With a passion!

Ridge: And you’re alone on this? How do you think I feel? Tried to kill my daughter, tried to kill finn, but this– we’re almost there. It’s gonna be the end of it. We’re gonna put her away. Our family’s gonna be safe.

Bill: Who’s she talking to?

Chen: Deacon sharpe. My team’s monitoring the call.

Ridge: What’s she saying?

Sheila: He’s– he’s acting

so strange. Could he suspect something?

Deacon: About us?

Sheila: God, I hope not. How could he? We’ve been so careful. I’ve only seen you a few times.

But I’m worried, deacon.

Bill can never be on to us.

Bill: We’re on to you, all right.

Ridge: Do you see what that is? That is a woman who’s starting to lose it. We’re gonna have her exactly where we want her.

Sheila: We’ve got to play it safe, deacon. We can’t afford to make any mistakes.

Deacon: Look, I know you’re stressed out about this, but you’ve got to– sheila, I’ve got to go. Keep it together and stay strong and keep us out of trouble. Hey, honey. How are you?

Hope: Hi. Uh, good. How are you? Is everything all right?

Bill: I love watching sheila pace around like a caged animal.

Ridge: It is satisfying. Maybe not for you, seeing your girlfriend flirt with someone else, but for us.

Bill: Well, I think I’m gonna be able to get over that. Are you kidding me? That pizza boy convict is doing me a favor. Less time I have to spend around that vile woman, the better. Plus, it’s given me an opportunity to plant some seeds in her brain. Make her squirm.

Ridge: Well, maybe you can find a way to make her squirm enough to give up some information. What do you think?

Bill: She was very close.

Ridge: Really close.

Bill: She was about to confess her deepest, darkest secrets until the lights flickered and she clammed up!

Chen: Technical glitch with one of the bugging devices. It shouldn’t happen again.

Bill: It better not happen again!

Ridge: How is this helping anybody? She trusts you. We’ll get her to that place again.

Bill: I don’t think I fully appreciated the lengths I would have to go to when I involved the fbi. And it better not all be for nothing.

Ridge: She’s– she’s gonna pay for what she’s done. To my family, to your family. Can we just take a moment? Can I– can I ask you something? And look, I didn’t think you had it in you that you could make anybody love you. You– you’ve done it. Tears rolling down your face, it was– it was beautiful.

Bill: Yeah, save it, samurai sam.

Ridge: Whatever you did wasn’t enough. You gotta keep going. You gotta keep pushing her. We need a confession.

Bill: I have given it everything I’ve got. Man, I can’t believe she hasn’t caved yet. How– what’s keeping her from just confessing?

Ridge: She will. And when she does, we got her. Not for attempted murder on my daughter, but for actually killing somebody. Murder one.

Bill: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Murder one. She found it.

Deacon: I’m just not sure how I feel about you and thomas working together again.

Hope: Dad, he has to respect the boundaries I put in place, otherwise he’s gone.

Deacon: Well, your husband isn’t quite sure he’s gonna be able to hold up his end of the bargain.

Hope: Liam and I have had this discussion and I– I thought we were on the same page, that we don’t want this to affect our marriage.

Deacon: That’s easier said than done.

Hope: Look, I get why liam would be upset about this, especially since I initially told him that I wasn’t going to bring thomas back on board, but I am allowed to change my mind.

Deacon: It’s a woman’s prerogative. Hey, focus on the positive. You got douglas coming home and that is great news.

Hope: Yeah, it’s wonderful.

Deacon: Hope, take care of that little family of yours.

Hope: I will, but dad, I really do feel like everything is gonna be okay. It is actually you that I’m a little worried about because it’s very rare that I see you stressed out and you got off that phone pretty quickly, so… what’s really going on?

Bill: After I rescued finn from that apartment and got him back to steffy, I– I couldn’t stand by knowing that sheila had escaped. I knew everyone would be in danger. That– that whole bear mauling bs. I didn’t buy your missing toe story for a second. Ugh. It– it is actual torture having to look at that woman on camera and off.

Ridge: Well, it isn’t a picnic for us either, watching her 24/7.

Bill: Watching me 24/7.

Ridge: Or watching you 24/7, right. Although this morning, I gotta say, bill, your pajamas, they were form fitting but still classy. Nice job. Nice color.

Bill: Well, coming from the dress maker fashionista, I suppose I should be flattered. God, there are no cameras in my bedroom. There are no cameras in my bedroom, right?

Ridge: No, there aren’T. And you know why? Because no one could ever unsee that.

Bill: Well, you’re right about that. But seriously, this whole setup, the cameras, the mics, it makes me feel like I’m living in– in a freaking fish bowl.

Ridge: Well, it’s to keep you safe. To keep everyone safe.

Chen: We’ve been maintaining close tabs on sheila to make sure she doesn’t hurt anyone. Especially when she leaves your house.

Bill: Practically had her. I mean, she was just about to confess all her sins. Killing that– that lance day with the bees. I mean, who– who does that? Pushing that dr. Garvin to his death, shooting steffy and finn and who knows what else? She said she has done things that are absolutely unimaginable. Why couldn’t she just spit it all out already?

Ridge: This is really taking a toll on you.

Bill: You have no idea, forrester. I– I have had to go so deep into this thing that there are times when I– I actually believe what I’m saying. I mean my sons, brooke, katie, they actually think that I’ve lost my mind! That I’ve gone to the dark side and fallen for sheila carter. If they only knew the truth.

Ridge: Well, they will know the truth and when they do, you’ll be a hero.

Bill: I don’t give a damn about any of that. I just want everybody to be safe. I just hope they will understand and forgive me.

Ridge: Of course they’re gonna forgive you. They’re gonna throw you a party. You know why? Because they’re gonna realize that the police weren’t gonna hold sheila. They couldn’T. Attempted murder? She’s not gonna be in there forever. That’s why we need that confession. So she goes away for good and brooke, taylor, our kids, our grandkids, everyone’s gonna be safe.

Bill: I’m trying, ridge.

Ridge: Well, you’re not trying hard enough. As long as she’s out there, no one is safe. (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

Customer: Thank you.

[ Hope clearing her throat ]

Hope: Something’s up with you.

Deacon: I– okay, I’m a little stressed. I mean, I’m trying to make a success of this place. I’ve got investors on my back, but you know what? These are high end problems. I’m good.

Hope: You sure?

Deacon: Yes, absolutely.

Hope: Okay because I could help out. I could roll up my sleeves, wash some dishes. I make a mean margarita. I could even mop the floor.

Deacon: Are you implying that my floors are dirty?

Hope: I would never. I know I could eat a pizza of that floor. I am just saying I don’t like seeing you stressed out. I mean, this is supposed to be fun. Are you having fun?

Deacon: I am, I am. I– I do, yes. I’m good.

Hope: Okay. It’s the same way you worry about me, I get to worry about you.

Deacon: I know. Listen. I got everything under control. I’m not gonna do anything to ruin this life that I’m building.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I love you, sheila.

Sheila: You love me?

That’s all I ever dreamed of.

That’s all I’ve ever wanted.

Is to be loved. Oh.

[ Sheila sighing ]

Bill: I’ve done my damnedest to get to sheila, but she’s holding out on me.

Ridge: She’s loosening up. You’re saying all the right things, you just gotta step it up a bit.

Bill: I gotta what? I gotta step it up a bit? Well, easy for you to say, forrester, as you sit in here day after day, eating hot dogs and donuts. Let’s not forget who’s doing the heavy lifting. You have– you have no idea what it’s like. Can you even imagine being intimate with a murderous, vile woman like sheila?

Ridge: Yeah, I– I’d rather not imagine any of that.

Bill: No, no, no. I want you too, all right? I really want you to kind of– to live in that for a minute. Imagine what that’s like.

Ridge: All right. Couple of things. Number one: Don’t touch a grown man’s chair. Number two: You know I don’t like you. I never will, but I respect you because I could never do what you’re doing. Not with someone as dangerous as that. I couldn’T.

Bill: Yeah, you know what I have to do? I have to sleep with one eye open.

Ridge: I want this to be over. All I’m doing is sitting here and growing hair. My kids think I’m in europe. I’m only just a couple miles away from them, trying to keep them safe. That’s all I’m doing.

Bill: You’ve done a lot. Not to the level of me, but you’ve done a lot.

Ridge: It’s never to your level, I know that.

Bill: Yeah.

Ridge: But you know what? I’m doing what I can. He’s doing what he can. You do what you can and in the end, sheila’s gonna be gone for good. Life… doesn’t stop for diabetes.

Ridge: I thought you were nuts when you came up with this crazy scheme.

Bill: Every attempt in the past to keep sheila locked up failed. We gotta come up with proof. Iron clad proof that she is responsible for several murders and attempted murders.

Ridge: And you’re right, if you can get her to admit it on camera, then we got it.

Bill: If I can get her to say the words.

Ridge: If anyone can get her to say the words, it’s you. You figure out a way to give her something that she’s always wanted. Love.

Bill: I actually duped her into thinking that she’s finally got that from me.

Ridge: Took one for the team.

Bill: I didn’t think it through. How to maintain my dignity in the process.

Ridge: I’m– bill spencer and dignity in the same sentence, that’s a tough one for me.

Bill: Listen. I– I mean it, ridge. It is really hard to keep up this façade, you know? I– I am looking pure evil in the eye night after night, whispering sweet nothings in its ear, pretending that I accept sheila for who and what she is.

Ridge: So, you know what we should do? We’ll cut together a tape and send it to the academy because I think best actor. It’s– you know.

Bill: Get my speech ready.

Ridge: You did it. You reeled her in like a pro.

Bill: Yeah. It all began that night when I lured her to the beach. I knew sheila had been watching me at il giardino. I sent enough signals to grab her attention. So she would follow me to the beach. I was playing the part of the lonely, heartbroken, misunderstood man. Sheila bought it. Hook, line and sinker. When she hesitantly walked toward me, I acted surprised to see her. I didn’t lash out, which obviously shocked her. I pretended to open my heart and soul up to her. We sat there together for hours, talking through the night. I worked my magic to get her to trust me, using all of sheila’s vulnerabilities and insecurities against her. Not to mention, the promise of freedom. Something I ultimately said I would give her. It was risky. Sheila could’ve gotten suspicious. It was also risky to tell her that taylor shot me, but she had to be in on it for the blackmail scheme to work. That’s why I went to the feds and made sure that they were to exonerate taylor of any charges.

Ridge: I don’t like that she had to be involved at all. I don’t like what it did to steffy or to finn.

Bill: Everyone’s had to suffer as a means to an end.

Ridge: Yeah, all of us. I don’t like being away from my family.

Bill: Yeah. At least they don’t hate you. I’ve had to push my family away.

Ridge: Well, they’re not gonna hate you once they figure out what you did with sheila.

Bill: Part of me’s a little offended. I mean, I know I put on the performance of a lifetime, but come on. They all actually believe that I have fallen for sheila carter? Ugh.

Ridge: To be fair, you guys make a very, very handsome couple.

Bill: I know you’re trying to keep things light, forrester, I’m gonna be real with you. I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

Ridge: I know. And I don’t blame you at all. But bill, we’re this close. We’re this close to doing what the police couldn’t do, put sheila away forever. Don’t quit. Not now.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Andrew. Hi Paul. If you’re looking for my dad, uh, he, he’s just left for the airport a few hours ago. Excuse me. Up with your uncle Steve. Yeah, I figured

so. What are you doing here?

I came to see you,

so, uh, vacuuming. Yeah, of course.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man.

Hello ladies. Welcome back to the Land of the Living.

No. Freaking way.

Night. Night. Golden girl.

Is that you? Yeah. Uh, long time. No see.

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

Hey mom, it’s me. Um, can you gimme a call back when you get this? I, uh, what I’d like to hear from? Hello, am I glad to see you. Hey. Ugh. Long day. What was it ever? I’m just leading the courthouse. The jury wanted to stay and deliberate so they could come up with a verdict tonight, which they did. You, okay? Uh, yeah.

I just, I’m, I’m worried about my mom, why I can’t seem to reach her. I called her a bunch of times. I left a message and she hasn’t returned. I just tried again and went straight to voicemail. I’m sure she’s just, Yeah, I hope that’s all it is. Hope Brady. What the hell are you doing here? The same thing you are, I assume.

Looking for Megan Hathaway.

I just can’t believe this. Your life. Yep. How? I mean, it’s just, it’s so wonderful. But how

Megan, the prisons, right? I mean, So we assumed that she wanted the prisons because she wanted her father back, but she wanted you, she wanted to bring you back. Mm-hmm. , she succeeded. Look at me. So you’ve been in presentation the whole time? Yeah. You’ve been here while, I’m so sorry. I, I, but I’m thrilled. I’m thrilled because I ran into you.

She had me imprisoned here too. Really? Yeah. That’s just me. Marlena, your sister. Oh, Kayla. Yeah. Kayla. Kayla. Kayla’s here. And Marlena. I mean, it’s all, I have no idea why she did it, but Megan had all three of us here on ice against Star Wheels.

Oh, no,

I’m sorry. Are you going somewhere? I still can’t believe you’re alive. You know, wait to Kayla sees you. She’s gonna just die. She’s, but you know, she’s, of course she already did die, right? So did I. So did Marlene. It’s all. It’s crazy. Yeah. Look, we have to find them. We have to free them. And then all four of us are gonna get the hell out of here.

Right? Come on. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. Um, we can’t do that.

My dad ran outta here pretty fast when he got that call. Yeah,

he said that Steve had a potential lead on the location of Megan Hathaway. I’m guessing that you gave that to him,

like I’m not asking you to tell me where she is. I just wanna know if you think they have a shot of finding her. Well, come on, man. I mean, we’re talking about the woman that murdered my stepmother. Your, your aunt and, and uncle. Your uncle Roman’s wife. I know, but it’s not my case. And even if it were, I’m not allowed to discuss anything related to top secret information.

Yeah, I get it, Paul. Believe me, I care about this too. It’s personal for both of us, for our families. And while I’m not allowed to disclose anything about the investigation, I can assure you that the ISA is doing everything in its power to get justice for these women. Do you trust me on that?

Good. Because I’d really like to talk about something other than Intel such. us.

I didn’t think, there wasn’t us . I mean, I was just telling my dad that you and I stopped talking to each other. Not that we, you know, had a falling out or anything. I mean, you know, I was just us living on opposite sides of the country. Trying to build a relationship like that is, it’s pretty difficult. And, you know, top of that to my, my coaching schedule and your caseload and, and we just didn’t seem to figure out logistics.

I know, I remember. They, the thing is I’ve missed you.

I missed you too.

Well, did something happen? I mean, do you have some reason to believe your mom’s in trouble? No. No, it’s nothing like that. I’m just frustrated that I can’t get ahold of her. Um, you know, I want coming up there on the Megan Hathaway case. Yeah. Her possible connection to my mother’s death. God, I just can’t believe that this woman that I, I’ve never met, that everyone thought died like 40 years ago.

Come in and upend all of our lives and just cause so much sorrow for so many people. And for what? Some ancient grudge. Yeah. Well, I mean, she’s stepping out the mirror’s daughter. Resurrection and vengeance is what that family does best. Yeah. Taking wives away from their husbands and mothers away from their daughters is just, Hey, you know that Megan’s not gonna get away with this.

Especially a black patch on a case. Yeah, I know. That does make me feel better knowing that my dad and Steve are out searching for that murderous bitch.

This is, uh, John, look at you, girl. Oh, Steve. Steve, I’m good to see you. I can’t believe you guys. I can’t believe you’re here. No. Well, we. , we heard that this is where Megan Hathaway was hiding out. Yeah. That she came here after Caracas last July. Yeah. But the ISA only recently discovered that and they’ve kept a top secret.

So how’d you find it outta Shane? Well, we didn’t, but the person we did pry it out of took a little convincing, especially considering what Megan did to us last summer. Yeah. See, the agency thought that maybe we were still under her control, but we’re definitely. But I got a question for you. How did you find out where to look for Megan?

You know, luckily she didn’t mess with my head. So the agency didn’t have the same concerns really. Well that, uh, Intel is still highly classified. I mean, you couldn’t just walk in and get that information unless you got it from Shane. Well, let’s, let’s just say I still have a few friends in high place.

That’s why don’t we? But hey guys, I. No matter how we all got here, I’m so happy to see you both right back at you. Hope we opened that door. The last thing we expected to see was a friendly face, especially one as pretty as you . Steve, you look like you were ready for a fight. , I had one way or another, we’re gonna take half the way down and if it’s gonna be the hard way, so be after what she did to you.

I don’t blame you. That woman deserves what’s coming her way. Well, The fact is it isn’t just about what she did to us.

We should have known that you were gonna show up. I mean, how would we think we were gonna wake up from the dead without you? How indeed you may express your thanks at any time. Don’t hold your breath. So now you’re in league with Megan Hathaway. Hmm. Oh, surely that doesn’t surprise. Well bit you would take directions from somebody who was evil and unhinged.

No, it does not surprise me. I serve as a pleasure as a Demer family. Aunt Megan is a dememer. She’s a daughter of a man who caused pain and suffering to everybody he ever met. Untrue certain. Dara has a legend lost to us far too soon. It is now my duty, honor and privilege to carry on some issues of his progeny.

I shall. Her wish, as they say, is my command. Look, we don’t really have time to wait, okay? No. Oh, did you? Did you hear what I said? Kayla and Marlena, they’re both here somewhere, so Yeah, I heard you, but we can’t leave. If you are worried about Megan, there’s no problem there. She’s incapacitated. What do you mean?

I mean that she had me tied up. She was trying to inject me with some kind of drug, so I punched her in the jaw and I knocked her out. But she could come too anytime. So we need to go Where, where did this happen? Right on the other side of this door, right before I ran into to you. So the love of God.

Let’s get out of here. Um, sorry, but we have to go that way. No. No, we don’t. It’s way too risky. Nope. Don’t have a choice.

I know it didn’t turn out so well for us the last time. Ended up devolving into a bunch of texts about when we could possibly meet up and all the times that we couldn’t. Right. But even when we lost touch, I, I couldn’t stop thinking about last summer meeting you for the first time traveling around the world together, trying to find your dad.

Yeah. It’s not often a, on our first date where we end up in a shared hotel room in Hong Kong. , I’ve never been happier to return someone’s gym clothes , when she could probably tell Yeah. When we kissed . Yeah. Yeah. I, I could,

you know, I thought about that kiss many times. You know, it felt like, uh, it felt like the start of something. Sometimes when I’m sitting at my desk working late, I think about that moment and now I wish we could go back to him.

Maybe we could,

have you heard anything from your dad since you left? No, not yet, but I’m sure I’ll call when there’s an update. Well, knowing your dad and my uncle. Your phone’s gonna be ringing real soon. There aren’t two people on this planet more motivated to find Megan. Yeah, I wish I could do what they’re doing and just throw myself into the search and then give myself away to take my mind off all this grief, you know, in a way that’s productive.

But you know, even if they do find Megan and she does end up behind bars forever, it doesn’t really change anything for me. What do you mean? I mean, no matter how much Megan pays or Orpheus pays, I don’t get what I want. More time. My mom. Where the hell is Megan? And what has she done with Kate? Such anger.

You’re damn right. We’re angry and we’re worried about our friend. You didn’t be really. Why is that? Because she’s been given a great honor. Thanks to her contribution, I will be able to determine if my scientific genius has been successful yet again. And what contribution is that? Well, due to our doctors as well.

Certainly you are familiar with the concept of a test subject. Yeah. But in legitimate medicine, a test subject, volunteers. I’m pretty certain that Kate did not volunteer to help you. Well, actually she was fortunate enough to be chosen. As I said, it is a rare and coveted opportunity. What? Kate will be the very first recipient of my new.

What serum is that?

You think Megan’s the one who stole the orchid? Yes, and it was the only thing that could have occurred. Kayla, Marlene and Kate Hathaway is responsible for their deaths. What I.

Oh, dear God, I’m so sorry.

I’m, I’m in shock. I’m so sorry. I,

I can’t even imagine what you’ve both been going through. I make behind it

all these years, she’s still causing so much destruction and pain to the people I love. I’m. Well, she’s obviously just as vindictive and deranged as she ever was. It all started with her obsession with Bo. You know,

here’s the thing. All the doors in this place, they flock automatically. It’s, it’s like this. You go into a room or whatever and door closes behind you, and it’s locked. Okay. Well, I was just able to let myself out of this room, so, oh, well. When is a door, not a door? When it’s a jar, it must have been open a little bit.

What are you trying to tell me? That, that we’re not gonna be able to get out of here? No, we just, we have to go back in there and get Megan’s. Okay, fine. Let’s just do it. Okay.

Well, there she is, right where I left her. What’d you do to her? Exactly what I told you. I knocked her out. Let’s get those keys and get out of here,

Megan. Hey, wake up. Okay. Just nevermind her. Just get the. Good job. She’s out cold. Yeah, it is good. So good. Get look at her pocket, Megan. Oh, look at her pocket. Let I, I’ll do it. Stay where you are. You said that we needed to get the keys to escape, so let’s just shut up and stay where you are. Hey Megan again.

Can you hear me? Hey, time to wake.

What happened? Hmm? You got cold caught.

Oh, you all right?

I think so. No thanks to her. Yeah, I think she’s figuring out that she got played

I don’t have to tell you what it’s like doing it. No, no you don’t. Not that I wouldn’t get how terribly difficult this is for you anyway, but um, I mean, having gone through this with my dad, I know how much you still miss him. You know, he’d be really proud of you, of everything you’ve accomplished. I mean, you dedicated your entire life to protecting people and not just family and friends, but everybody.

You honor him every day by doing that. I know there, I can’t help but think about all the things that he’s missed out. I mean like another chance with my mom seeing Claire grow up, not being able to spend time with Sierra and her new baby, all the family milestones, birthdays, holidays, and all the ones yet to come.

Yeah, they should both be with us. Your dad and my mom. There’s a day that goes by that I don’t think about him, but. I made peace with the fact that he’s gone. And I think that a big part of being able to do that is that, is that I understand it. I mean, yeah, his death was terrible and it was tragic, but, but it made sense.

And what happened with your mom? It made no sense at all. I’m so sorry, bill. I would do anything to give you more time with your mom. And I would give anything to be able to help you with this pain.

What serum are you talking about? The details are not for me to disclose. Well then who should we ask? You should direct any inquiries regarding the serum to Madame Hask. But trust me when I tell you, it could be life changing or not. Just for her. What is that supposed to mean? Most people get over their high school sweethearts, not her.

Megan never did. So this all goes back to Megan and Bo going steady in high school. Yeah. She thought that Bo had broken up with her and he thought that she had done the same to him, but in fact, neither were true. So what happened? Megan’s mother, she caused the breakup. She manipulated both of them. And when Megan found out she lost it, she, she’s, something broke inside of her.

That’s when she became obsessed with ball and desperate, really desperate to get him back. Are you sure you’re all. Yeah, I’m, I’m fine, but would you just mind helping me out?

Okay.

Back in business.

Look at her like a deer in the headlights. Stunned silence. No, she wouldn’t shut up earlier to hold it. Hold it.

You’re not going anywhere.

What’s wrong? Um, nothing. Nothing. I, I’m just wondering, maybe, maybe this is, maybe this is not a good idea. Do you not want to No, no. I, I do. I I definitely do. But i’s just like what we just talked about, you know, we tried this before and it didn’t work out. I dunno, maybe we’re just setting ourselves up for more disappointment.

I see your point. Well, I, I, I, it’s like we really had, I mean, we really do. We have such a strong connection and, and I would love to see where that takes us. But the last time around, I mean, finding time for each other was such an impossibility. I don’t know, maybe, maybe we should just be smarter if we just cut our, cut our losses now.

Mm. And before we get in too deep. Probably right? I mean, we live so far apart. Our lives are so busy. I mean, there’s a really good chance that this won’t work, but there’s a chance that it might, it’s a chance I’d like to take. Would you.

So your serum is meant to be life changing and not just for Megan. So who else’s life is it going to change? So many questions. And did the answers have anything to do with that? Is Marlina Wright is it also gonna change the life of whoever the former occupant of that tube? Ah, yes. Well, my earliest prototypes, the technology was far more limited back then on, yet it was a very successful project.

Successful how I was able to keep the subject in a cryogenic state for nearly a decade. A decade. Who was it? Who was your subject?

Put down the gun. You’re not going anywhere. Come up. We’re both going somewhere. We’re leaving. Push me. You’ll regret it. I wouldn’t test him if I were you. Look, I, I don’t know what she put you through. Look, clearly you have been through something and you don’t even know what you’re saying. You. You have to trust me.

Okay? I’m on your side. Let me help you. Please

go. We’re not strangers. Okay. We’re, we’ve known each other for years. We’re a family. I was married to Victor. You were married to my daughter. Bo doesn’t need a history lesson, so stop babbling so that we can pick it up where we left off before you so rudely assaulted me and. Phase two will finally begin.

Don’t listen to her. Don’t listen to her. We’ll ditch her and we’ll get out of here. We’ll be free and we can go back to our homes and to the people that we love. Bo I find your lack of gratitude. Very disappointing. God, what do you want me to be grateful for? For what you did to me. I saved your life, didn’t I?

And now I’ve chosen you to be the initial recipient of my new serum. Well, I choose not to be the recipient of a pable fatal drug. Okay. Oh, relax. It might not kill you, but it does need to be tested so it stop wasting time and get on with it. Now, where is that vile?

You mean this?

You know, we really don’t give a damn what Megan’s motivation is. We just want to track her down and make her pay. So, looks like you’ve got a headstart on us. Did you find anything poking around here? I have searched every inch of this labyrinth and, uh, there’s no sign of her. So indication where she might have gone, nothing.

Nothing If there’s a affording address, she did not leave it lying around. Damn, damn well, partner. Looks like it might hit a dead end here. Dead end. What are you talking about? There’s no dead end. There’s gotta be a way to figure out where Megan went. Yep.

You are absolutely right. I missed you. Maybe there is.

Thank you for always knowing exactly what to say. No, I, I don’t always. Don’t even think I do most of the time . I just think that I do in this case because you know, I’ve been there and if there’s something that I can tell you, it’s that you’re never gonna stop missing them. But time, time definitely helps, you know, although there are days that I will feel the loss of my dad, so it’s a cute thing.

It’s like, it just happened yesterday. And then there are other days that I remember all the fun times I had with him now that we had, you know, and think about all the funny things that he’d say and times that he’d tell me that he loves me and that he’s proud of me and that definitely it makes things less painful.

Yeah, right. You know, another thing that. Hmm. So when I remind myself just how blessed I am to be able to share my life with someone like you, someone so kind and so wonderful, who I just happen to love with all my heart, I love you with all my heart too, and I need you so much right now. You have me now.

You have me now, and you have me always.

And do you know what else we need to remind ourselves of? Mm-hmm. , not only do we have each other, got an incredible daughter. Yeah. We’ve got a great big family to lean on.

And now

I’m officially off the clock. I said, what do you say? We go home and we lean on each. On the couch. That sounds really good.

That was perfect.

Ah, exactly the words I was looking for. So can we talk about what happens next? Well, I was thinking.

No. No. , no. Do we discuss where we go from here? Yeah. Yeah. We probably should, but not, right? No, I just wanna enjoy this perfect moment with you.

It’s all right. Get it.

Donovan? Yeah. Pat your through

hope. What can I do for you? I need a favor. I need to go to see Harris Michaels.

We know that you kept Stephan Damara on ice for four years, but a decade. That’s quite a feat, don’t you? Thank Marta. Yes, I do. It’s quite remarkable. Mm-hmm. . So the person must have been very important. Yeah. I’m just, I’m just so curious. I can’t stop thinking about who it might be. I can’t stop thinking about it either.

I mean, it could be, but No, that’s silly. Now what are you thinking? Well, I’m just thinking that maybe what if it’s, uh, somebody famous? You mean like a world leader or a rockstar or a Hollywood legend? Maybe an athlete? You know, I did hear a while back that there was a baseball player who was Cryogenically frozen.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, maybe. Maybe we’re on the wrong track. Maybe it’s somebody who was, I don’t know, closer to home, maybe somebody from Salem, somebody that we all. Yeah. What about that Ro? Somebody we all knew. Somebody close to Salem. I didn’t say anything, but nice try. If I went in such a hurry to complete my experiment, I’d stay and applaud your creativity.

We don’t need your applause. We’d just like to know who was in that tube. And we are pretty. Wasn’t Stefano because you took his essence and put it in Steve. Another hugely successful experiment of mine ruined by stefano’s well meaning, but misguided children for a tremendous loss. When Chad and Tony destroys that microchip, you can lament it later.

Just tell us who it was for the last time. Tell us who was in the tub.

Hand it over. Do you really think that you’re gonna be able to make it out of here without Bo shooting you dead? Or perhaps you think that another pathetic speech about how the two of you used to be family is gonna change his mind. Oh, please give it. You heard the man,

whatever kinship the two of you used to have, it’s long over. I’ll stop wasting time and let’s get on with it.

Time.

That was stupid. Really not allowing you to make me your personal Guinea pig. I think it was one of my smarter moves. How typically arrogant and ignorant of you. Congratulating yourself when you’ve just made one of the most idiotic decisions ever. How’s that? The only reason that I was keeping you alive was to make sure that that serum worked.

Now that it’s gone, you’re of no further use to me,

no point in drawing this out any. You may as well go ahead and kill her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yep.

Okay. Send him.

Uncle Steve

desk job. Huh? Who’d you piss off? Nice to see you too. I, not to seem too hostile or anything, but what the hell are you doing here? Why do you think I’m. I need your help to find Megan Hathaway,

my dear ladies, your whole family still PS you’re dad, but I don’t want you to sleep your whole life away. Once again, it’s time to wake up. We have so much to do,

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

Hey, Robert Lucas. Now I’ve been sitting here trying to figure out why you wanted to see me again.

We can take it by your attitude that this is not a social cult. No, it isn’t. We found out which Demaris told the orchid and. It was step’s. Daughter, why would Kristen take the orchid from herself? Not that daughter. His other daughter made an Hathaway, who’s that? Well, you might have forgotten her because she appeared to die 40 years ago, how Salem offered to appear to die.

Yeah, Larry Wells killed and, uh, stuck her in a hot tub and proceeded to zap it with electricity. It’s pretty thorough. You would think so, but you know how hard it is to kill Dira. And in true Dira form, Stefano took the body and maintained it in life form cryogenic. But now she is very much alive, fully functioning, and totally lethal.

Where is she now? That’s a million dollar question, John. Steve looking and I am here. To find out what you might know.

You know, dad, ah, you need to tell you about this new device that came out with, it’s called a phone. Sorry. Did you show up like this kid? No, it’s fine. It’s a bit surprised. That’s all.

How you doing? About as well as can be expected, I guess.

If it’s hard for me to believe she’s gone, it must be hell for you.

You okay?

Yeah. I forgot how much you love to talk about your feelings. Don’t really see any point in talking about I’m not gonna change anything. Right. Hey, but you know what though? The good thing is, you know, I, I really wanted to stay on in, in Salem after the funeral on. Yeah, well you got a chance to coach Triple A.

You can’t pass that up. So how’s it going up pretty well, actually, here’s the thing, uh, we’re starting a, a home stand. Three games. So don’t you stay around for a couple days, coach my coaching. We’ll see.

Why do I get the feeling that you didn’t come out here to talk about baseball? Because I didn’t. You on a case, Steve and I are you. Look, we ought to sit.

You have to know that finding Ms. Hathaway is one of the agency’s top priorities. Wow. Agency speak, getting real good at that. The thing is, this isn’t my case, but I can’t put you in touch with the agent in charge. Well, if I wanted to talk to the agent in charge, I wouldn’t be in your office. Now, remember when we spoke on the phone a few days ago, I got the distinct feeling that you were giving me the runaround.

So I’m here face to face to get some answers. Steve, it’s not that I won’t answer your questions. I can’t.

Are you awake too? Oh, I was having a nightmare. I think we’re actually living one. Yeah, it trumps it. Megan was holding this captain and we didn’t know why. Well, I don’t think we have time to find out. We need to get outta here. Here I, I’m okay. Why don’t you help Kate? Damn. What is it? She’s gone. How could she be

here? Go. What the hell are you smiling at? I’m happy because phase two. Is finally about to begin.

What? What is going on? Why am I tied up? Where am Marlena and Kayla? Okay, I, who the hell do you think you are? Does it not compute that you are the one who’s tied up? And I am not? That you’re not in a position of power and that I am, perhaps it would be wise of you to at least try not to infuriate me. I didn’t realize you were so fragile.

Not at all. I just think that life is short and we should all try to get along as best we can. Okay. Okay. Remind if I. Uh, would you be so kind as to tell me where Marlena and Kayla are and if they are okay. The doctors, Evans and Johnson are absolutely fine. , see your idea of absolutely fine. And mine are probably not the same.

They ain’t dead. How’s that? Has anyone ever told you that you’re a complete pain in the. Well, your father thought I was absolutely delightful, but then again, he had a sense of humor. , is that what you think it was now? I have something very important to discuss with you. No, I do not wanna talk about anything with you.

You need to get me and Marlena and Kayla back home and to our husbands.

I didn’t even know there was a Megan Hathaway. How, how would I know anything about her? Well, we didn’t know that. We thought maybe your mom had mentioned something when she and uh, Stephanie were married. No, I would’ve remembered. I, I would’ve said so. I would’ve said something as soon as Oria said that, that a DIR stole the orchid who effectively killed my mother.

Yeah, I know that. Look, Lucas we’re, Glassman saw us here. John and Steve are in touch with the isa, but it seems at this point that Megan has just vanished into thin air. Stephanie could do that too, right? Yeah. Well, I think the two of them have lots in common. What I don’t get is why would a woman who’s been, I don’t know, dead for 40 years, why would she come back and try to kill my.

My mom didn’t even know her. I’m telling you, I’m telling you. When my mom was married to Stefano, I never once heard either of ’em say the the name Megan Mali. I don’t think Kate was a real target from what I configured. The bitch was after Kayla and Myla.

You think Kate really found a way out here and left us behind? Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that she looked after number one. No. No, it wouldn’t. If Kate found a way out of here, she must have done it with some planning. Don’t you think that Megan wouldn’t have security cameras everywhere? Who knows?

Locked? Of course it is. But if Kate got out of here, she would not have locked the door behind. So Megan must have done that. Yeah. I’m getting really tired of this. Megan Hathaway. Yeah. Yeah. She kept talking about her plan. I, I wonder if maybe Kate was part of that plan. Oh, we have gotta find a way out of here.

Are you gonna.

Another cryogenic cylinder.

So who the hell was in here?

So you think Andrew can help you track down Megan Hathaway? Oh, that’s what we’re hoping. So he didn’t mention anything to you off the cuff about her? No. You want a beer? I’m gonna have a beer. Don’t take this personally here. He’s not trying to shut you out. ISA agents can’t really bring their work home with him.

Hell, it’s not like that. Yeah. And what’s it like? Nothing. Yeah. Angie and I aren’t really talking to each other about. And that’s it.

If you have any idea where Megan Hathaway is, which I think you do, I don’t understand why you won’t tell me. You and John don’t have clearance. We don’t have clearance. Do you have any idea how long John and I have been doing the agency’s dirty work? Just ask your father how many times we put our lives on the line and then tell me we don’t have clearance.

I don’t have to ask my father. I grew up on the. And everyone here knows and respects your history. Oh, my history. Listen now we’re trying to find the woman responsible for the death of our wives, and you tell me we don’t have clearance. Why the hell not? Because there’s a concern that you and John have been compromised.

And it’s not like Andrew and I had a falling out. Hmm. You just said that you and Andrew aren’t talking to each other. About anything, so, so how is that not a falling out? No, I mean that we didn’t get in a big fight or anything and it wasn’t that we didn’t get along. We did, we’re getting along. That sounds pretty tepid.

So in other words, what? No heat. Dad. Oh dad, what? Come on. You told me when you two in Hong Kong, there was a lot of chemistry there. So what happened? He comes here to visit. What? The movie doesn’t live up to the preview. Okay. What happened was, we had a great time together and we thought we could make it work, but then reality checked in.

He lives in dc I live here. He’s got a demanding job. I’m transitioning to become a coach. You know, long distance relationships, they involve, well, a lot of logistics. I see. And it’s, it’s too hard for a couple middle-aged farts to make adjustments, not middle-aged Well, you know, the way he could’ve fooled.

Come on, you got a secret agent, you’ve got a superstar athlete, and you two act like a couple of insurance adjusters. So you know, you, you’re fine. You, you sit here, you sit here all alone, and you just keep convincing yourself that logistics are too complicated to be with someone who could actually make you happy.

How do you really feel about it?

Compromise. Huh? What the hell’s that supposed to? It means the last summer in Hong Kong, you were Megan Hathaway’s hired muscle. We weren’t hired, we were brainwashed, and it was pretty effective. You held a whole room hostage. You put a gun to Wendy Shin’s head. We were under Megan Hathaway’s. Control. And how does anyone know that you’re not now?

Oh, you think John and I are sleeper? I don’t, but some very important people in the organization have reservations, so now my partner and I are in the impossible position of having to prove a negative. You said you don’t believe it. Why? Because I was there when Paul broke through to John and broke Megan’s spell.

While I understand your desire to get back to Salem and your dreary little lives, I’m afraid I can’t accommodate you. As I said, phase two is about to begin and your participation is non-negotiable.

what does that even. I didn’t even know there was a phase one and now apparently it’s all over. You don’t need to know you. Marlena and Kayla are just chest pieces on the board pawns in someone else’s game. Okay, I so are Roman, John and Steve. Are they paws as well? Is that why they believe we’re all dead?

They believe you’re all dead because someone took the only thing that could have saved your.

Damn look, actually I think it’s quite beautiful.

So was Kayla and Marlene who put the kibosh? When Megan’s big plant Katie had nothing to do with she telling me my mom died for no good reason. Yeah, it feels that way and that’s why we have to find Megan to make her pay for what she did. It’s not gonna bring my mom back. You think? I don’t know. I’m sorry.

I know this has been hard for you too. How are you doing? Want me to lie to you? Tell you I’m doing okay. I can see you’re not okay. I want you to tell me the truth. Well, I got lots of people looking out for me. Abe came over the other day and, uh, told me how he fell when he lost Lexi, and how he thought he’d never fall in love.

I knew I meant well, but, uh, all does. Lets, uh, remind me how much time your mom and I wasted and how damn happy we were when we got back together. And now I have to face the fact that I will never see her again. And I am very sure that John and Steve feel exactly the same way.

Look, it’s power down and the locks have been released. There’s no one in there. Now. Whoever was in there, Megan had to have let them go. Well, I’m no expert, but it looks like that is a lot older than these are. Then you heard what Megan said. She never throws anything away. She also told Steve and John that she was cryogenically frozen after she was supposedly.

So maybe that’s where she was stashed. And what about the prisms? She said she wanted those to help cure someone. She cared about someone we all thought was dead. And who was it who was in the tube? Oh God. I think I know.

I know it’s not exactly the same, and I know I don’t have any right telling you this right now, but the way you feel about my mom is exactly the way I feel about Sammy. Sammy’s not good. Yeah, I know, but I’m pretty much as good as dead to her. She’ll never forgive me. I’ve never loved anyone the way I loved her, and I’ll never have a chance to get her back.

I, I know I blew that. You’re not always wrong, and I know she’ll never forgive me, and I know you’ll never forgive me. That’s why I’m really appreciative that you come here and you talk to me and you tell me what’s going on. I know that I don’t deserve it.

Well, you know what? You won’t get a big argument from me on that, but the thing is, You’re Kate son. She did forgive you and she did love you. And I am thinking, Lucas, that in a way you and I talking to each other this way is a good way to honor your mom’s memory. So that’s the orchid. The orchid. When I got you here, you were all at death’s store.

How else do you think I was able to revive you? I had to use the orchid to count of the effects of the toxin that Orpheus gave you. Kind of weird thinking about your life being dependent. A flower. I had someone prepare and administer the necessary second. That is why you’re still here.

This flower’s healing power. It’s not restricted to what ailed the three of you. I took it because I needed to remedy my own condition. And that of someone who is very dear to me,

Ste. You think it was Ste? Well, what if Megan was just keeping him on ice and now she has the three prisms and, and she’s thinking that what the Phoenix may rise. Well, you know what? I have a second thought. Even if that man’s body was able to be preserved, he would just be a shell, his, his spirit, his soul, as if he had one.

You know, he did have one, but it was evil and destructive, and it was taken from his body in the form of a microchip, and it was put in Steve’s head, and then I was able to remove it. And then Chad and. Burned it. Okay. Then Stefano is gone. Stefano is dead. He has to be,

my wife is dead and John’s wife is dead because of Megan. Now, how could you people think that we’d be helping her? I told. I don’t think that, and I know how much you loved on Kayla. I did too. I don’t want justice for her as much as you do. Don’t talk to me about justice. My Kayla is gone and the agency has decided that we can’t be trusted with clearance and you are gonna play it to the agency.

Okay, that’s fine. We’re gonna keep looking for her and we’re gonna find her. Whether you help us or not

good, you just get back to your busy work

and say hello to your dad for me. Uncle Steve,

I just pulled up our file on Megan Hathaway because I have clearance. I can view it whenever I want. I’m just not at liberty to share it with you. But what I can do is offer you a cup of government issue, coffee, and it’s a coffee station at the end of the hall. Would you like a cup of coffee and take me maybe three, four minutes?

Yeah, I’d like a cup of coffee. Thank you. It’s the least I can do.

You. Sorry kid, I didn’t mean that. Shouldn’t have said anything. It’s really none of my business.

Saved by the bell. I gotta take this.

Yeah. What’s up? I might have a possible location on Megan Hathaway. It’s a long shot, but right now it’s our only shot. So how fast can you get to the airport? You know, I don’t think we have to worry too much about who was in that tube, because right now I think that Megan has Kate, and if that’s. I think things are gonna start changing pretty fast around here, and we better be getting out while we still can.

Agreed. We need to find a way through that door from the look of it. We’re not gonna break it down. I think that we just have to start getting smart about this.

I, I, I could give you a ride to the airport. Oh, I’m fine, thanks. Or you could get two tickets to wherever it is you’re going. You know that place? That’s your only shot. Just a figure of speech. Oh, come on dad. We were just in a heated discussion about my failed love life and how I’m basically screwing life up in general, and then Steve calls and what You’re outta here.

So I know it’s important. I know it’s urgent and it’s probably dangerous, so let me help you. Let me come with you. No, because Steve and Eric, we just need to do this on our.

All right, but please be careful. I don’t wanna have to fly halfway around the world to save your ass again. I’m never gonna hear the end of that, am I? No.

Listen about before I’m. I’m sorry, I I had no right to talk to you like that. I was really outta line. Do you really think that? I don’t get that. It must be damn frustrating when you’ve lost Marlena and to, to see me all alone and apparently not doing anything about it. But still, it, it’s, it’s none of my business.

You’re my dad. And as much as I hate to admit it, you got a point. So you and I were cool. Okay. You’ve got enough on your plate without worrying about. Okay, thanks. I gotta run. Good. Okay. Well, uh, you know, just, just let me know when you’re o when you’re okay. When you have the time. I can’t help. I, I just worry about you.

Good luck this weekend.

Okay, well, I’m gonna check in with, uh, John, Steve, see if they’re having any luck. Just keep me busted first. Hurt while, alright,

so you said that you had to use it to remedy your own condition. Are you sure you really did that? Cause you’re not looking so.

The lighting’s not very good in here. I’m fine. You know, I could have let you die,

You expect me to. Thank you. Uh, oh. Maybe I should have sent you a fruit basket when I get home, but then I’m again, to do that I would need your address, so, so what’s it gonna be? Is it gonna be a cell at Statesville or a padded room at Bayview? You know, you really are a pain in the ass. Which erases any hesitation that I might have had to proceed?

What do you mean I’m going to use you as a Guinea pig? You see, someone has made me a little serum. Only it came with a caveat. What doesn’t make me stronger might in fact kill me, and I don’t see any reason that I should take that risk, not when I have you here to do a trial run on.

This, please. Like a damn labyrinth. Yep. Been switching these hallways for. Almost an hour no sign. Megan Hathaway was ever here. Well, the ISA analyst put the probability at 12%. These aren’t good odds partner. That’s the only lead we got. You know the agency checked it out before, maybe they missed something.

You don’t wanna stop, do you buddy? We’re not gonna stop till we find that woman in Baker Bay.

Guys mock up. You gonna turn, lock pick on you on, man? You said you were bringing yours ia, security confiscated. Oh, okay. So now what do you,

what’s. A nice little cocktail that someone whipped for me. I have it on good authority that you and my dearly departed brother Andre, had an affinity from martinis. Shaken, not injected. You are right. I am not yet fully recovered from being well, you know.

And I’m told that this could be the answer to my prayers. Well then why not use it on yourself rather than waving around near me, because while it may take care of whatever it is that I need, it does come with the one-off chance of an unpleasant side effect. Well, I suggest that you try something homeopathic first, then I’m more inclined to do a trial run on you.

You see, look at the kill you. It could potentially have very extraordinary effects. Something that you’ll thank me for later, and if it does happen to kill you, who knows? Maybe someone will bring you back to life again. Right?

Oh my. And you’ve been at that forever. Maybe we should try something else. Ah, ah, I got it.

You think that’s going to get us out of here? You know, when you pointed to the chamber, it reminded me of a date that I had with Steve where we talked all about how to pick a lock. So I got him to teach me. And you know, it, it’s actually pretty simple if you have a wire. What like a, like a bobby pin? No, no.

Nine times outta 10, those will break. You need something industrial like from a, a heating or cooling unit, like, like this, uh, cryogenic chamber. Well, let’s just hope that Steve taught you. Well, man. Kathy’s not the heating unit around the corner. Nice.

Before you do whatever you’re going to do to me, can I, can I at least say something? Final last words. Make it snappy. It’ll be short. Just a sentence. Okay. What is it? The rope on my hand wasn’t tight. Stop it.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man. Click.

Oh, I miss you. I haven’t heard your voice in a while, but if there’s a way for you to reach out to me again, I know you’ll make that happen. I love you.

Night. Night, golden Girl.

Andrew. Hi Paul. Well, if you’re looking for my dad, uh, he, he’s just left for the airport a few hours ago. He’s meeting up with your uncle Steve. Yeah, I figured.

So then what are you doing here? I came to see you,

so, uh, yeah. Come in. Ah, yeah, of course.

I think it worked.

I think you got it, man. I heard a click.

Hello ladies. Welcome back to the Land of the Living.

No. Freaking way.

Night. Night. Golden girl.

Is that you? Yeah. Uh, long time. No see.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

king me. I’d like to crown you, alright. Fine. Here’s your “king me” crown. I think we have parcheesi. Oh.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Knock on door ] Laura: It’s laura. Welcome. Thank you.

[ Gasps ] Hey. Thank heaven. Lucy. Oh, lucy. Oh, it’s so good to see you. It’s so good to see you.

[ Both chuckle ] Okay. News from the outside world. Tell me there’s an end to this nightmare in sight. Please. It’s too risky. I could end up dead. That’s what happens when you bunk in with a cassadine.

[ Knock on door ] Come in. Oh, deputy mayor ashby. Hello. Ms. Miller, hi. I know I’m interrupting, but I think you’ll be glad I did. Okay. Why specifically am I glad to see you? Because I’m about to make your day.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you, doctor, for seeing me again at such short notice. I certainly understand why you’d want your issue to be resolved quickly. I imagine any man would.

[ Chuckles ] I read dr. Finn’s report, and, unfortunately, I agree with his assessment — your condition is likely irreversible. Victor: I know what you’ve done, laura. You’re a vindictive — you’re determined to strip me of my power and humiliate me in the process.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. You don’t need me for that. When your life falls apart, and it will, there will be more than me to blame. Mm. But you’re the one that will pay most dearly. My, uh — my family means everything to me, doctor. I recently lost my son, and the rest of the family is in crisis. I simply can’t afford to be distracted right now. I have to focus. I-I need to ensure my family’s survival. Nothing can jeopardize that. Nina: Of course, maxie.

Crimson always supports nurses’ ball. Just — if you need anything, you just ask me. That’s it. Hey, hey, wait. Give james a big hug from his aunt nina, okay? I love you. Bye.

[ Telephone thumps lightly ] Well, something happened that worried you enough to increase your security. I’m not worried. I’m handling it. Okay, well, if I knew the details, would i be worried? I take that as a yes. You said you didn’t want to know. I didn’t think I did, but… …now I’m not so sure.

[ Knock on door ] Phyllis! [ Gasps ] You’re back! Oh!

[ Chuckles ] Oh. I packed your ear drops,so if you start to hurt again, make sure… you, um, tell your dad, okay? Hey, frank. Uh, how’s it going? It’s going well. Evening, mrs. C. — Uh, ms. Spencer. Apologies. I’ll — I’ll get used to it, I promise. It’s okay. I’m sure you will. After you, ladies. Look who it is. Daddy! How you doing, sweetheart? I wasn’t expecting you. Yeah. Who are you expecting?


As a matter of fact, I do have a bit of an update. You do? Oh, this is so good. Okay. Just tell me it involves the word “victor,” and then any combination, like “incarcerated,” “incapacitated,” or “d-e-a — dead.” Ohh. Uh…where’s anna? She’s in the bedroom, trying to crack the code etched into the ice princess. Do you want me to get her? No, don’t interrupt her. You can always bring her up to speed later. Okay. So does this mean that I can finally go home? No. I’m sorry.

[ Sighs ] Come on. I mean, I am so grateful — you know I am — for being rescued and for just being alive. But come on. Tick, tock, people. Come on. I know. Well, on the bright side, i do think that we are starting to get to victor. Get to victor how?

[ Sighs ] I ran into your father last night at the metro court, and he was seething with rage. And he said that he “knew what I had done.” Did he get more specific? No. He said that — he said that I was determined to “strip him of his power,” and that I was “robbing him of his dignity in the process.” Okay, but — but it — it sounds like whatever you’re doing is working, so keep on doing what’s working. Well [Sighs] Victor is clearly fraying. He definitely believes that you’re all dead. He — he doesn’t seem to have any idea where nikolas is. Spencer is actually defying him by going to live with his uncle sonny. So he has lost control of his family.

[ Breathes deeply ] And it seems that he’s having some kind of a medical issue. What kind? Uh, the kind that makes a man realize he’s not as powerful as he used to be.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. At any rate, I-I don’t think it’ll be much longer before we bring victor down for good. So you don’t have to be patient much longer, lucy. You know me. I don’t do patient. I am not patient. Come on. And — and the world right now needs lucy coe. So, just, uh, how are you going to make my day? By offering this office the chance to save time and effort, and the taxpayers of port charles and new york considerable expense. And I know, robert, that you are intent on streamlining this office.

[ Clicks ] So you’re going to want to hear my offer. Of course, if this is actually a bad time, I-I can s– ah, da-da-da. The deputy mayor and I are done. Right, eileen? Yes, for now. Good evening. Bye. I, uh, requested a copy of a file on holly sutton, with her accident at the cabin. The original, unredacted file. Go on. It may contain useful information on the necklace. And you’re certain you can get your hands on this file? I have strings I can pull. Then pull them. Now. How’s your ear? Much better. Her drops are in her bag if you need them. Who are you? Uh, that’s — his — his name is dex. He works for daddy. Dex, this is my daughter. Oh, hi. It’s very nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Hello, ms. Spencer. Hi, dex. Do you live here? No, I’m just visiting. Yeah, we’re going to get some work done. Right, uh, dex? And he’s going to be staying here for a couple days, darling. In my room? No, I’m in the — the den.

[ Grunts softly ] Um, I was just on my way out to grab some things. I’ll, uh, be back soon. Nice to meet you. I guess you didn’t get my message. No, I didn’T.

[ Door closes ] What’s going on?


The nurses’ ball is always an event — the event — but this year, it happens to coincide with general hospital’s 60th anniversary. I know, I know, but it’s going to be televised this year so you can watch it. I don’t want to watch

[Chuckles] The nurses’ ball. I am the nurses’ ball. I have chaired every single nurses’ ball that ever was. I know, lucy, and each one of them has been magnificent. Thank you. But I want this one to be magnificent. Magnificent. And — and it just takes a certain type of expertise. There’s no substitute. I can assure you maxie has everything under control. Really? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Define “everything.” Go ahead. Spare no details. Okay. Okay. I know that she’s got financing from elq and also from aurora. Wow. Great. That’s super. Except those are quartermaine companies, and that family lives for the hospital. So really, they couldn’t refuse, could they? She is meeting with more sponsors tonight. Super, but she might run into a snag ’cause those sponsors can be pretty prickly. Maxie can handle it. I hope they do give her a hard time ’cause she’ll squeeze them for every cent and they’ll thank her for it. I just wish I could be there to see it. I need to be there to see it. No, you don’T. Because if you were, victor would know what we were up to, and he would go free, and he would make us all pay dearly.

[ Sighs ] So what you need to do is settle down, accept the situation, ’cause there’s nothing you can do about it. Phhht!

[ Scoffs ] Lucy. Uh, I know how hard this must be on you. But fortunately, I have something that might make you feel better. We can try to treat the symptoms, but it’s not guaranteed to work. Oh, anything you think worth trying, I’m ready and willing to put up a fight. We’ll start with a prescription. I’ll get it from the hospital pharmacy myself. I appreciate that.

[ Indistinct conversations, telephone rings in distance ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Knock on door ] Thank you for replying to my text. You indicated it was urgent. So… what couldn’t wait? I have reason to believe that laura and robert think I’m connected to you.

[ Sighs ] And what better way of disabusing them of that notion than to come looking for me in a well-populated, brightly lit building with security cameras around every corner? I am often at the hospital in the course of my official duties. Well, good for you. But do not contact me again unless you have something I can use against laura. Unless that’s why you’re here. I don’t have anything about that, but…

[Exhales deeply] …I do have this. This is my granddaughter, amelia grace.

[ Gasps ] Oh.

[ Chuckles ] Isn’t she a beauty? Yeah. Oh, my goodness. I love her already. Oh. Even though I’m not allowed to be around her. Willow still keeping you at arm’s length? Well, not — not exactly. It — it turns out that my aunt liesl is a viable bone marrow donor for willow, so she convinced willow to keep me updated about her health issues. Well, that’s wonderful. Yeah. It’s a start. Every other subject is off limits, including wiley and…amelia. Well, as you said, you made a start. If you respect her wishes, she’ll see you made the effort. And when she’s better — and I do mean “when” — she’ll let you in. Here’s to hoping.

[ Both laugh ] So, what’s sonny’s take on this? Well, sonny says pretty much the same thing. Though I think he’s trying to convince himself, too, because his… son, michael, doesn’t really want to be around him. Our children have formed a united front against us. You know, it’s a shame when families shut each other out. Yeah. In the meantime, it’s wonderful that you can rely on sonny. Well, can’t you?

[ Sighs ] Sonny: Alright. Donna’s in her room. Uh, the reason I called you is I want to talk to you about donna staying tonight. Oh, oh, okay. Sorry I missed your calls at the quartermaines’. I was helping plan the nurses’ ball with maxie, willow, and michael. How’s michael and willow holding up? Worried…but they’re holding it together. What’s going on? Why do you have two bodyguards and dex for protection? First of all, dex is not protecting me. I’m — I’m keeping an eye on him. Why? Dex: Sonny, get down!

[ Gunshot ] Stay down. That’s a sniper rifle.

[ Gunshot ] Crap!

[ Gunshots ] Boss. What are you doing? If he gets a clear shot, he’ll blow your head off. He can’t shoot if he’s ducking. There was an incident.

[ Keys jingling ]

[ Footstep in distance ][ Dramatic music plays ]

[ Gun cocks ]


Josslyn: Dex, is that you? Yeah. Yeah. Joss, you can’t just show up here without letting me know first. Okay? I-I thought you were… an intruder. I could have hurt you. I know. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. But I don’t know whether or not to text you. I don’t know if sonny will see it. And why are you staying with him? When did this happen? I’m sorry. Okay? I was going to reach out as soon as I got away from him. I just — I just hadn’t gotten the chance yet. How did you hurt yourself? What the hell is going on? Uh, right. In regards to my relationship with sonny, I’m just — just reevaluating things. I thought things were good between you and sonny. They were. They — they… they are. They are. It’s just… I thought I could separate sonny’s livelihood… from our relationship. And now I’m wondering if I was just fooling myself. Well, you knew exactly who sonny was when you encountered him in nixon falls. You knew before he did. I did. I heard all the stories about sonny corinthos — by reputation and in the news — that he was fearsome. He was a violent man. And then I got to know “mike.” Fell in love with mike. And then when sonny, you know, he regained his memory, it seemed like he really changed. Well, I don’t think you’re wrong about that. Yeah. Even when we went back to port charles, all the violence that I was warned about and the realities of sonny’s world, it just seemed theoretical. And so it was easy for me to move forward with sonny. Nina… what’s changed? It turns out that peace was only temporary. And now that peace… has broken. I just don’t think it’s a good idea for donna to stay here for a while. How bad is it? Uh, dex and i went to the warehouse. Uh. We weren’t alone. You okay? Yeah, I’m fine. Uh, dex got a little banged up. Nothing serious. I just wanted to keep him close while he’s on the mend. Who is it this time? Carly, it’s alright. You’re — you’re out of this now. Really? ‘Cause I feel like I’m right back in it. I have spoken with trina robinson about the criminal charges against esme prince. Well, um, you can assure her that we’re doing our level best to build an airtight case. Yes, but are you certain of a conviction? Why wouldn’t we be? Because esme now presents as a very sympathetic defendant.

[ Scoffs ] Come on. She’s about as sympathetic as an alligator chasing a pup. Not anymore. Now, she is a young mother who nearly died escaping captivity after being literally locked in a tower.

[ Sighs ] And, of course, she is professing traumatic memory loss. Esme is something like 6 or 7 fairy-tale princesses all rolled into one. You got a little rapunzel. You got little snow white. Anyway, all she has left in the world is this innocent little baby. So now esme is a traumatized, frightened young woman and a caring mother. What do you suggest I do? Drop the charges. Unless you have some sort of time machine that could take me back, way back before I got myself involved in all of this, I don’t think there’s much you can do for me. Is that so? Well, then, I guess you wouldn’t want this letter from martin after all, right?

[ Whispering ] Really? Oh, marty.

[ Smooches ] Oh, my goodness. Oh, I miss him so much. I think the feeling is mutual. Oh, thank you. Grazie.

Merci beaucoup. You’re welcome. Thank you. I-I-I love this.

[ Gasps ] You know what I’m going to do? I am going to take my letter, I’m going to run a very, very hot, hot bath, I’m going to grab my glass of wine, and I’m going to read every single word a thousand times my beloved wrote to me. Ta! Mwah!

[ Whispering ] Thank you. You’re welcome. So tell me, how are you, really? Fine.

[ Chuckles ] Lucy’s a lot. Yeah.

[ Laughs ]Even when you’re not trapped in a confined space with her. I do have anna. And, uh, I would endure anything to get rid of victor cassadine. Well, like I said, it’s not going to be much longer. You know, I-I can bring charlotte for a visit very soon, if you would like. No. Please don’T. That’s the last thing I want. Let’s see what you’ve found. I need your assurance that this will all be over before this blows back on me.

[ Sighs ] Once again, you forget how our arrangement works. I found it in the da’s office. Use it to achieve your goal quickly so I can end my involvement before I pay for this alliance with my freedom… or my life.

[ Sighs ] So… a necklace made from the ice princess still exists. And robert has it.


I appreciate the offer. I do. But given my father’s current agitated state… you don’t want to take the risk. I don’t want to take the risk. It was great that felicia brought her by, and I’m sure victor’s watching her. But it would do me a world of good to see her. Yeah, it would do you both good. She misses you terribly. Miss her right back. You make sure you tell her that the next time you see her, okay? Of course I will. I’m grateful to you and to kevin for everything you did to get her away from victor. I would do anything for charlotte. I know you would. Even if it means, by extension, helping me. Life is full of surprises. I was with sonny, and we were ambushed. And you got shot? Just creased.

[ Whispering ] Oh, my god. You know that I can’t stand that word. Look, it’s not like last time, okay? It bled a lot, but I didn’t even need stitches. Oh, great. Look, sonny just wants me to stay with him while I’m healing up. But your mom and donna came over, so I-I figured I should give them some space. I-I just came here to grab some things. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. Please say something. Take off your shirt. I know you’re worried about the kids. I’m worried about you, too. You saw security. Uh, I’m handling it. I’m — I’m going to take care of it. How’s that? I have a good team. You know most of them. Dex is new, but h-he’s doing excellent work. I’m going to find out what’s going on, and I’m going to stop it. I’d love to believe that. But we both know you can’t make that promise. All of a sudden, sonny is on high alert. He assigned protection to all his loved ones, including me. Well, do you feel safer with the bodyguard? Oddly enough, no. I mean, I’m really glad that there’s someone there to protect me, but I’m constantly on guard that something’s going to happen. Well, I can see where that would be unsettling, not just in the day-to-day, but in your relationship, too. To be fair to sonny, he has never tried to lie or hide the realities of his work. I thought if I didn’t know, then that would be a buffer between our relationship and his…organization. And now you’re realizing there is no buffer. There are — are sides of sonny I didn’t really ever know… that are starting to emerge. Now that you’re seeing those sides, you have to be honest with yourself. Is this a relationship you can sustain?


Well, knowing that you’re therefor charlotte and watching over her, taking care of her, that’s really everything to me. Yeah. I couldn’t do any of this without you, so, uh, thank you. Her safety, her future is one of the biggest reasons we have to stop victor. Yeah. My father’s obsessed with his family. Enriching it. Controlling it. Have you heard from nikolas? No. No, I haven’T. He, um — he vanished without a trace. I’m assuming that it was intentional. I guess he — he ran away. I don’t really know, but victor doesn’t seem to know. I’m sorry. I mean, no matter how old they are, there’s no hell like worrying about your child. Thank you. What makes matters a lot worse is victor now seems to be focusing even more on spencer and on spencer’s baby brother. Well, they got the name. They’re cassadine heirs. That means they factor into victor’s plans — whatever they are. So robert managed to retrieve the necklace from the fire and has been covering it up all this time. He went through a lot of trouble to make sure no one knew the ice princess survived. It’s almost as if he knew I was looking for it. That was my impression. Robert was convinced that you needed something from the ice princess, and so he was keeping its recovery a secret. Well, he and holly were always thick as thieves. I wonder… what else is in this file? Oh. I don’t know. Robert was still in the room when I snapped the picture. I couldn’t sit there and read it in front of him. But I do know… that the necklace is currently being stored in a secure evidence locker in the pcpd. I have to commend you, eileen. Excellent work.

[ Breathes sharply ] I hope that I can finally be done with all of this.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, well, why on earth would you be done? Because now you have everything you need to send your men into the pcpd to retrieve the diamond.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, eileen. Eileen. If only it were that simple. No, if I send my men in now to storm the pcpd, well, it’ll be a tip-off that I know. No, I’m afraid you’re going to have to retrieve the necklace for me. How am I supposed to get into the evidence locker at the pcpd? Well, as deputy mayor, I’m sure you have connections to find a-a graceful way to get in and retrieve the necklace. But they don’t give me — ohh. If you want this to be done with, you will bring me that necklace. Now, don’t fail me.

[ Door opens ] Understood. Why would we drop the charges against esme prince when we can prove everything that we’re going after her for? Is a jury going to care? Because if martin grey can whip up enough sympathy to get an acquittal, you will lose your one and only chance to bring esme to justice for her crimes. Why are you bringing this to me now? What’s in it for you, hmm? Robert. I’m crushed. Okay. Okay. In addition to trina, I also represent spencer cassadine. Now, esme is determined to keep her baby with her in prison. Well, spencer doesn’t want that for his little brother, and neither does trina. Look, I-I don’t give a damn what spencer wants. And as for trina, I respect her, but she’s not even in the video. I mean, what do I tell esme’s other victims? Josslyn and cameron both agree with trina. Right now they are only thinking of the baby.

[ Sighs ] Listen, of course they want justice, robert. But some say justice delayed is justice denied. Listen, the worst-case scenario would be for esme prince to walk away scot-free. Better to delay… bring the charges, try her… when she can no longer claim traumatic memory loss.

[ Sighs ] Look, um… you might be right, but I’m not convinced. Remember, robert, i defended trina. That young woman was dangerously close to going to prison because esme prince is a nasty, nasty piece of business. So as excited as I am about this proposal to you, believe me, it galls me to have to make it to you, just as I’m sure it galls you to have to consider it. Still…it might be best for all involved. Oh, you’re a smart man. Smart man. I mean, just ’cause we put the charges aside doesn’t mean to say we take our eyes off little esme for one second.

[ Breathes sharply ] All yours. Funny. Sorry, did you want me to autograph it? Shut up. Let me see the wound.

[ Groans ] Well, sonny’s doctor did a much better job than I did. Are you sure you want me to put this back — mm-hmm. Okay. Sonny’s doctor may have skills, but I’m telling you — he didn’t have half your bedside manner.

[ Moans ] Well, you know, I should thank the doctor for bringing you back to me in one piece. Actually, the person you should really be thanking is sonny. I love sonny. I know. I mean, he has been my rock. I don’t think I would have gotten through this past year without him. I’m sure he feels the same about you. We’re so good together. I know. You don’t have to convince me. I’ve seen you two together, both as “mike” and nina, and as nina and sonny. There’s a huge part of me that thinks that love is worth everything. I have a daughter now. Granddaughter. Grandchildren. It’s — it’s more than just me. And I’m not sure that I can wrap my brain around the idea of us being in constant danger. Not everyone was built for sonny’s world… and everything that comes along with loving him. Like carly was?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know what you want me to say, carly. You know how my world is. I do. Better than most. Then you know I’m going to do everything I can to protect the family. Your family needs more than your protection. They need you. I’m not going anywhere. I know you don’t want to go anywhere. I remember the last time I had to tell donna and avery that their daddy wasn’t coming home. I can’t go through that again.


you win. [ Chuckles ] As usual.

[ Laughs ] I’ll drop the charges against esme as long as I can talk to all the victims and, uh, well, get them on board. Thank you. I know this is not an easy decision to make. You made a compelling argument. Well… we can always refile the charges should “evil esme” resurface, and I get to keep my conviction rate. Everybody wins. For what it’s worth, I have no doubt that one day the justice system will hold esme accountable. I hope you’re right. In the meantime, I know a way we can both work off our frustration. What do you got in mind?

[ Laughs ] Well, have you ever… thrown a hatchet? Only in anger.

[ Chuckles ] Why don’t you join me at the hatchet range and you can show me what you’ve got? Although I will tell you, I am equally as lethal with an ax as I am with a brief. Killer miller strikes again.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I need you to check on our dear miss sutton. Yeah, find out how far along she is on her road to recovery.

[ Door closes ] Back so soon? Not fast enough. So… victor buy it? Every word. He did have questions about the night holly sutton and the necklace supposedly went up in flames. I anticipated that. I’ve alerted the appropriate parties, so let’s move on to phase two.

[ Breathes deeply ] You know, there was a time, not all that long ago, where if somebody told me that you and I would be having a conversation like this…

[ Laughs ] United for a common cause. Well, if you and i can form an alliance… then anything’s possible. Victor has no idea what he’s up against. Lucy and anna and I are alive and working against him. And I hope you’re right. I hope things are falling apart for him. Yeah. Well, now that eileen is working for us, we finally have the upper hand. Won’t be long now. Sorry, um, why would I thank sonny when he’s the reason you got shot? We were checking the warehouse, getting ready for the pikeman shipment. There was an ambush. A sniper. I saw movement before the shot was fired, and I got sonny out of the way. Oh, so you saved sonny? We were pinned down, and that’s when tony —

[ Sighs ] You know tony? Yes. Yes. He’s, like, the most experienced bodyguard. He gave covering fire from the entrance so sonny could get away. Sonny left you? Look, sonny was the target. Okay? As soon as he got out, the op was blown.

[ Sighs ] The shooter should have broken off and left.

[ Scoffs ] Obviously, he didn’T. No. He took a shot at me, creased me… I got behind cover, but I wasn’t going to last long with a handgun against a rifle, okay? So I-I made a run for it. That’s when sonny came back, and he shot the sniper. And sonny probably saved my life. What? Nothing. Just almost sounds like you admire him. I know that was hell for you. And for the girls. It was hell for everybody. I’m not going to put you through that again. A bridge went out from under you. You didn’t choose that. It just happened. Things happen. You know, you can’t control everything, sonny. Yeah, I can’T. I know that. If I could control this, it wouldn’t be happening. The only thing I can do is take things as they come. As it is, I’m — I’m going to find out what’s going on, and I’m going to put a stop to it. Is there anything I can do? You just need to stay out of it. I can deal with anything as long as you and the girls are safe. Okay? Okay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

why would you want him to stay here? I don’t have to explain to you who’s staying at my house. You both are my guests. You got it? Excuse me. I can’t deal with him right now. I know you’re going through a lot, okay, with esme, you know, having your baby brother, the whole thing, but you gotta watch your tone. I’m not your eneyoI’m here for you. You’re right. I appreciate that. And I’m sorry, but I’m in a bit of a bad mood right now. And dex is the last person who I needed to see. Cameron, I don’t want to fight with you. I’m asking you to listen to me, because I have listened to you so many times when you said that you’ve hated living your life around the danger of sonny’s business, the amount of times that you were in lockdown, the amount of times you’ve had bodyguards trailing after you, that is your future with this man. Is anything you told me about yourself true? All of it. Okay, I’m an ex-soldier. I did a tour in afghanistan. I joined the military right out of high school. What I didn’t tell you is that after I left the army, I went to work for a private security contractor. That’s who set me up with my current employer. Doing what? I was hired to work my way into sonny’s inner circle to gather information and incriminating evidence that my employer could use against sonny. Dex is different than sonny. You don’t have to worry about me. I don’t want you to worry about me. I want you to go to stanford and — and be the star that you are. Okay? I’ll be fine. You promise? Yes, I promise. I knew we forgot something. Where’s that binky, huh, ace? Trina: Looking for this? You’re, um, spencer’s friend. That’s right. I’m trina. Trina robinson, yeah. I-I know who you are. Gregory: No, don’T. Don’T. No, I got it. I got it. I got it. It’s all right. It’S…

[ Sighs ] Are you all right?

[ Stammering ] I just — I lost — lost my footing.

[ Stammering ] It’s no — it’s no big deal. Have you been drinking? Drinking? I-it’s 11:00 A.M. Never stopped me.

[ Sighs ] This is orange juice. Period. I had a — a momentary attack of clutch– klutziness.

[ Scoffs ] You’re slurring your words. Just drinking orange juice doesn’t do that. Hi, aunt liesl. Come on in. So, did dr. Randolph call? Not yet. Still haven’t heard the results from my last round of tests. The lab ran much faster when I was in charge. We already know that you’re a match. I don’t get the holdup. Waiting is torture, I know, but we can’t take chances, for willow’s sake. You have to be patient a bit longer, nina. I can’t think of anything but willow, and I feel like I’m unraveling. And then I feel guilty because willow’s the one that’s going through this. Her body is shutting down. It’s failing. How long is she gonna be able to hold on? Maxie: Okay. The next item on the list is vendors. Carly, I didn’t get your list. Carly.

[ Amelia babbling ] Yes. Yes. Carly, did you send me the list of vendors who have donated to the nurses’ ball in the past? Mmm!

[ Smooching ] Hello? Maxie, give it up. That’s a fight you won’t win.

[ Laughing ] Aww.

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ve got it.


Chase. What are you doing here? I dropped by the gatehouse hoping to see willow and michael. I thought I’d check here before I took off. Ah, who am I kidding? I came to get a peek at amelia. Oh. [ Laughs ] Get in here. She’s just the cutest little thing. She really reminds me a lot of bailey when she was that age. How about we just take a break? I can’t compete with all that cuteness. I’ll just go check on olivia, and then it’ll be back to business. Right? Carly: [ Laughs ] Isn’t she the cutest? So sweet. Hi. Hi. Hi, maxie. Didn’t you notice that you smelled like lavender and chamomile? I mean, how did you not realize that you shampooed with bailey’s bubble bath? Don’t I always smell like lavender and chamomile? Besides, it was an honest mistake. Between the two of you, there were like 50 bottles on the bathtub. Oh, more like six. Oh. Am I interrupting something? Yes.No. I came to see willow and the baby. Oh, okay. Well, the love fest is in there. Great.

[ Door closes ] Looks like there was a love fest going on out here, too. What’s going on? Cam’s leaving. He got a scholarship to go to stanford for soccer, and they want him there for spring quarter. I know you guys are great friends. You’re gonna miss him. For sure. Yeah. Yeah, I’m gonna miss him. He’s been there for me despite all of our stupid rivalries. And now he’s leaving and dex is staying here? What does that have to do with dex? Because joss broke up with cam to get with dex. Here. This is a — this is a nice spot. Nobody can hear us or see us. So why don’t you talk to me? If you’re not drunk, why are you slurring your words? You claim I-I was slurring. I-I-I wasn’t aware. But I can assure you I have not been drinking. Well, there’s something off with you. And I would like you to talk to me because I’m your friend. This is a safe space. I will understand. You’re being ridiculous.

[ Sighs ] And insulting. Okay. I’m sorry. I am not drunk. Okay. Can we just sit down and talk about it? No, no. I-I-I have an appointment. Wait.

[ Stammers ] I’ll drive you, okay? Why don’t you just give me your car keys? When britta told me her diagnosis and I had to sit by and watch her deal with her symptoms, even when she pretended not to have them, it was hard. I understand, nina. I heard the clock ticking, too. But I had to follow britta’s lead and respect her choices and be the support she needed whenever she needed it. You’re right. Of course you’re right. I am so sorry. I’M…

[ Sighs ] Sonny will be here soon, so you won’t have to babysit me much longer.

[ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Not the hospital. Scott. The 10th call today. When will he get the hint? Well, s-scott loves you. And you love him, aunt liesl. If he loved me, he would have told me about elizabeth’s role in harboring esme prince.

[ Scoffs ] Her silence made the police spend too much time believing esme was the hook instead of looking for the real killer. My britta paid with her life. Scott only knew after the fact. It doesn’t matter. He helped elizabeth get away with it. He chose her over me and my family. Okay. You just got done giving me some sound advice, right? So allow me to return the favor. Aunt liesl, don’t shut out people who love you. You know, scott can support you during this time that you’re dealing with britt’s death. Life is so fragile. We need to spend the little time that we have left with the people we love. If josslyn broke up with cameron, that’s her decision. I don’t know. Maybe I just want someone to be mad at, and dex is a convenient target. Why do you need a target, spencer? Because cam is leaving, britt is dead, and my little brother’s in prison bonding with esme when he should be bonding with his real family. Is that long enough of a laundry list for you? Okay, you know what? You have diane working her magic. She’s gonna get you custody of your baby brother. Well, it cannot happen soon enough. Are you leaving? Yes, I am. I’m gonna go see nina. Listen to me. Lay off dex. Well, how long is he staying for? I don’t — I-I — listen, it’s open ended, but I want both of you to coexist peacefully. Got it? Okay. Yes. Yes, I got it. Good.

[ Sighs ] You know who I am? You’re, um… one of the people I did terrible things to. So you remember. Not even a little, but, um… my lawyers have told me about the charges I’m facing. You’re one of the people I hurt. Yeah. You framed me, and I almost went to prison. Why did i hate you so much? Are you admitting that you’re guilty? I can’t say that. But people have told me the person that I was before, and everybody says that I’m a terrible excuse for a human being. What do you think? I mean, if I really did what I’m accused of, I… think they’re right. But it’s like they’re talking about someone else, someone who terrifies me. And I am so glad that I don’t have to think what that person thinks or feel what that person feels anymore. And I pray to god that I never have to. I-I don’t want to hurt anyone, trina. I just want to be free so I can raise ace. Spencer’s baby brother. He’s a real cutie. He’s my baby, not spencer’S. Spencer can’t have him.


Spencer can’t have my baby. I mean, I’m ace’s mother. I didn’t suggest otherwise. He should be with me. Did spencer send you? Is he outside? Just chill, okay? Spencer isn’t outside. He doesn’t even know that I’m here. Are you his girlfriend? Uh… we’re friends. Okay, so if spencer didn’t send you, then what are you doing here? I wanted to see how you were and the baby were doing for myself. Why do you care? Because we all want what’s best for the baby. His name is ace. Ace. Right. Don’t you think it’s best for him to stay with his mother? I think you’re really lucky that spring ridge is letting you have him with you. But is it really the best place for ace to be raised in a prison? Of course not. But I won’t give up my baby. I mean, he should be with me. He needs me. And I need him, and… I can hardly believe he’s mine, but he is. And I can’t imagine life without him. I love him so much. I can see that. Look, I’m sorry for everything I did to you and your friends, but I’m not that person. I don’t even remember who that person was. So to go to prison now for something that I don’t even remember doing, I mean, it just doesn’t seem fair to me or ace. I wish we could all forget that, too. Look, my parents were insane. And my lawyer says that I’m not responsible because my dad was influencing me. No one forced you to drug me or to record joss and cam having sex. Well, do you know that for sure? Did I hear you right? You want my car keys? If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s on you. But I don’t think that you’re in any condition to drive a car. I don’t want you to hurt yourself or someone else. For the last time, I am not drunk. Which is what I said every time I was drunk. Not everyone’s a drunk like you, alexis! Got it. I’m really not trying to insult, embarrass you, or cause a scene. Oh, but you will, won’t you? Because alexis davis never admits when she’s wrong. You take the damn keys. I’ll call a car. They’ll be in my office. You can pick them up tomorrow. Oh, no. Leave them with the concierge. I never want to see you again. Hm. Did sonny leave? Yeah. Where’d he go? You’re off duty. It’s not your problem. You got in one sucker punch. It won’t happen again. Don’t worry. I promised sonny I’d play nice. I’m not worried. Oh, yeah? Then why are you lying to my uncle? Wow! She is so beautiful. She looks just like you, willow.

[ Chuckles ] Thank goodness. Oh, yeah. No argument there.

[ Laughter ] I’m so happy for you. You’re so lucky. Oh, I am so sorry. Chase, i am lucky.

[ Chuckles ] I have so much love in my life. Two beautiful, healthy children. A family that’s embraced me. Good friends and co-workers wishing me well. Dedicated doctors doing everything they can. The least I can do is acknowledge them and do my part. What’s that? Keep the faith. We should know today if dr. Randolph approves using liesl obrecht as a stem cell donor. Well, fingers are crossed. Hi. Hey. Liesl. Dr. Obrecht: Sonny. And before you ask, there’s no word yet. Would you like some tea? No, no, I’m more of a coffee guy. I know you’re waiting ’cause I saw the look on nina’s face. Hey. Why are there two bodyguards out front? We’ll talk about that later. Uh, have you seen michael or willow? Not recently. Nothing to report.

[ Cellphone rings ] Aunt liesl, you’re gonna have to talk to scott, please, sooner or later. Pick up the phone! It’s not scott. It’s the hospital.


I mean, he’s dead, and I-I can’t remember anything. How will we ever know the truth? Yeah, well, without your memories, it’s definitely a complicated situation. Um, it’s time for ace’s nap. That’s fine. I’ll go. Um, trina. Did I pass the test? What test? I mean, I may have lost my memories, but I’m not stupid. You came here to see for yourself if I was lying, didn’t you? You’ve always been an excellent liar, and you’ve never been stupid, esme. And neither have I. So, yes. I came here to judge you for myself. I appreciate your honesty. I hope you can appreciate mine. I’m not lying, trina. I don’t have any memory of my life before this. And… I don’t think I ever will. I should probably get back to work. Yeah, I should leave. Awkward.

[ Both laugh ] Yeah, I’m getting middle school flashbacks. Are we good? Really? Be happy, joss. You, too.

[ Cellphone rings ] Trina. Are you still with cam? Yeah, he’s — he’s finishing up his shift, and I’m about to leave. What’s up? I have something important to tell you. Um, I need to tell you, cam, and spencer. Spencer said we can come to sonny’s place.

Can you meet me there? What’s going on? I’ll tell you when I see you. Trina, wait — everyone’s got their assignments, so I’m gonna head out. Great. We’ll talk tomorrow. Okay. Yeah. Um, one quick question before I go. Why aren’t you in there? Uh, I just wanted to give chase a little alone time with everyone. Hmm. This isn’t, like, residual weirdness about him and sasha? Because I thought you guys cleared that up. Sort of. I mean, I know nothing’s going on. I talked to sasha. Not chase? Why not just be honest with him?

[ Gasps ] Now’s your chance.

[ Door closes ]

[ Breathes shakily ]

[ Door closes ] You still here? Yeah. I want you.

[ Whispers ] Hey. Come here. So, mother and baby are down for a nap. How are you? I’m, uh — I’m fine. You don’t have to worry about me. Not for a second. I do worry about you. I know it’s not easy playing the waiting game. Or watching willow struggle to do the simplest of things. It’s got to be heartbreaking. Yeah, sometimes I have to leave the room just for a moment. Long enough to get myself back under control. So I can be the partner that willow needs me to be. You are. You are. I, uh… I can’t lose her.

We can’t lose her. She has to be okay.

[ Softly ] Come here. It’ll be okay. It’ll be okay. What do you think I’m lying to sonny about? Joss, for starters. You were told to stay away from her, correct? But as soon as you’d heard that she’d broken up with cam, there you were, moving right on in. Where are you getting your information? Are you denying it? So you’re not sneaking around with joss? You’ve known josslyn a long time, right? That’s correct. Does she seem like the type to sneak around? No. There’s your answer.

[ Knock on door ] Oh, how long does it take to say, “yes, you can donate,” or “no, you can’t”? Either way, liesl’s a doctor. She’ll want to know the details. Right? Thank you, dr. Randolph. I appreciate you calling me personally. Well? I’m going to be willow’s stem cell donor. Oh! Thank god! Oh! Aunt liesl, it’s a good thing you’re doing, really. But there’s a problem.


Whose are those?

[ Sighs ] I asked gregory to give me his car keys. Why? You didn’t want him driving? I don’t think it’s a good idea to drive when you’re intoxicated. Ooh. Was he over the legal limit? I don’t know. I didn’t have a breathalyzer with me. He was slurring his words and he was unstable on his feet. Okay. Well, did you smell alcohol on him? No. I don’t think he was in any condition to drive. That’s all. Wow. Have you ever seen him like this before? I have never seen him like this. This is completely out of character. Okay, well, maybe you are starting to see another side. Maybe I just never knew who he was in the first place. Oh, uh, why are there so many guards here? Is sonny here? No, he’s out.

[ Clears throat ] Don’t just stand there. Show my guests inside. What — um, is trina here? Uh, she texted that she’s on her way. Hey, would you mind giving my friends and I some privacy? No problem. Thanks. I’ll be in my room. Great. So do you guys know what this is about? No clue. Is, uh, dex living here now? Yeah. Unfortunately. Uncle sonny invited him. Can you believe that? Um, so — so, trina called, and she said that she needed to see all of us, but she hung up before I could know what — what she was talking about. Well, when she texted that she was on her way, you know, coming over here, I assumed that she was still at kelly’s with you. Oh, she took off after you left. Did she say where she was going? No. She sound okay?

[ Knock on door ]

[ Sighs ] Hey. What’s going on? You okay? I’m fine. I-I went to go see esme. Why? I wanted to see the new and improved version for myself. A delight, I’m sure. What about my brother? Is he okay? He’s adorable. She’s holding him and rocking him and loving him. Yeah. She makes a big show of that, doesn’t she? You don’t believe she loves her baby? What do you think? I think it’s amazing how different she acts now. “Act” being the operative word? If esme’s been faking, she’s very convincing. Which is why I want to go to the D.A. And ask him to drop the charges against her. You want me? Uh, for…the nurses’ ball. I’m, um — I’m organizing the musical acts, and I want you and blaze to perform for free. Of course. I mean, I can only speak for myself, but I’m in with or without blaze. Nurses’ ball is a great cause. And you’re a great guy.

[ Doorbell rings ] Dr. Obrecht, please, come in. I need to speak with willow. She’s in the living room. Thank you. I’ll show myself in.

[ Softly ] I’m sorry to disturb you. Oh, no, no, not at all. Hey. Is there news? Yes. Dr. Randolph has cleared me to donate. However…

[ Sighs ] …We can’t harvest my stem cells right away. The transplant has been put on hold. For how long? The good news is willow still has a donor. That’s huge. No, it’s huge. Yeah, it is huge, but every day, every second now counts, okay? And now we have to wait for aunt liesl’s medication to get out of her system? I didn’t even know that she was taking anticoagulants. The doctors are taking her off it, but it’s not safe to donate until, you know, it’s completely out of her system. We’re running out of time. My daughter needs a transplant. Now. We can’t afford to wait.


He’s furious with me. He accused me of being self-righteous and incapable of admitting when I was wrong. Which is not wrong. He said that I was projecting my alcoholism on everyone else because I am one. No, you don’t do that. Mm…maybe I do. You know, I’m hypersensitive about problem drinking, for obvious reasons. And maybe I just went too far. You know, he did seem a little unsteady to me, but, mom, one day of day drinking doesn’t mean that you’re an alcoholic. I know. I know that. I know. Something’s not right, though. I mean, what triggered my instinct is how he reacted when I asked him if he had been drinking. He was immediately hostile and immediately defensive. And that’s a classic alcoholic trick. Self-righteousness and then a stormy exit. I know it well. I’m sorry. It’s just that, given my history, I am telling you, he is hiding something. Trina, the D.A. Isn’t just gonna drop the charges against esme because we ask. He certainly didn’t drop them against you when we asked. Look, as long as esme is in prison, so is ace. We have to do something. I am doing something. And that does not include dropping the charges against esme. She needs to pay for what she did to all of you. And that’s why esme can’t be charged right now. You’ve got mail. I wish I could talk to willow. Don’t worry. Don’t worry. I’m not going to. I know she doesn’t want to talk to me, and I’m not going to upset her. I just… I want to hear her voice. You want me to make you something? No, baby, I’m not hungry. Do you want to tell me why there’s two bodyguards out front? I’m adding extra security. Why? We’ll talk about it later. No, we can talk — you’ve got a lot going on. No, we can talk about it now. Uh, there was an incident last night. What do you mean, an incident? Were you — were you in danger? Are you hurt? No, I’m not hurt. You see I’m here. What happened? You’re the one who decided you didn’t want to know anything about my business. Okay, trina, you’ve lost me. Believe me, I’m in no way anxious to sit through a trial and have our sex tape brought up again. But I will happily do it. Because esme needs to face justice. Mm-hmm. But what if justice is impossible right now? Think about it! Esme is this poor, young, single mother…

[ Sighs ] …Who doesn’t remember anything about her crimes or anything about the person she used to be. What if the jury feels sorry for her and lets her off? And if that happens and esme goes back to being the old esme one day, she can’t be tried for the same crimes a second time. Trina’s right. I get it. I mean, if the D.A. Holds off prosecuting esme, esme will still have her old crimes hanging over her head. One slip up that shows her memory’s back, and she could be tried and convicted. Exactly. Prosecuting her right now is — is too big of a risk. Plus, there’s ace to think about. Esme could be stuck in spring ridge until the trial starts, and that could be months from now. Yeah, months of my brother being raised by security guards and surrounded by criminals. Are you sure that you wouldn’t mind seeing esme walk around free? I’m sure. Cam? Joss? What do you think? This is your call, too. I’m in. Yeah, me, too. For ace’s sake, esme needs to go free. Dr. Obrecht didn’t seem so happy. Does she ever? I hope it’s not bad news. Willow and michael can’t take another disappointment. When my medication is out of my system, we can proceed. But is it safe for you to donate? Once my blood can clot again normally, there’s no danger to me. I’m so sorry for the delay. Don’t apologize. I already owe you so much. Yeah, and thank you for coming by to tell us in person. Full transparency, I was with nina and sonny when I got the news. They know. That’s okay. I agreed to keep nina in the loop about my health. Nina’s very grateful. Willow, do you want to go to the gatehouse and get some rest? I’m gonna wait until amelia wakes up from her nap. Okay. I can walk you out. Everyone else is gonna want to know what’s going on. Would you mind filling them in? Of course I will. Thank you. I’ll be in touch. So, how do you really feel? Fine. Really.

[ Amelia fussing ]


I’ll, uh, let you know what blaze says about the nurses’ ball. You okay? Sure. You? Take it easy, brook lynn. Hey, willow. Are you okay? Do you want me to take amelia for a little bit? Thanks, carly, but I’m enjoying having her with me. In fact, would you mind bringing wiley down from the playroom? I would love to. That’s a great idea. I’ll be right back. Uh, do you want me to help you bring him down? No. I’m pretty good at bribing little boys away from their toys. I’m also good at listening. So, you know, if you ever need to talk, I’m here. Thank you, mom. Yeah. Hey, I just spoke to trish, and she said that gregory was not served any alcohol here today. Maybe he’s got a flask. I don’t — I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s pills. It’s something. I’m telling you, he’s hiding something. Mm, I mean, that’s true. He did lie to you about not working at pcu anymore. Another thing addicts do, they lie a lot. A lot. Okay, great. Thanks. Okay, so diane said she has time right now. Okay. Let’s do it. Thank you for trying to help my baby brother. Okay. When diane says now, she means now. Right. Yeah. Hey, joss. Are you coming with us? Yes. I’ll head out with you guys. Um, I’ll meet you guys in the lobby. Okay. And don’t think for a second you’re leaving for california without an epic goodbye party, alright? Okay. I cannot believe that I hope that esme walks free. But I do for my brother’s sake. Prison is no place for an infant. I hope it’ll be easy to convince diane. I mean, at least from what I can tell, esme’s not a threat to anyone. Sure hope you’re right. My mom said that wiley needed a quick clean-up. Did not realize he was finger painting.

[ Laughs ] That’s okay. This is nice. I meant what I said about keeping the faith. I’ll hang on as long as necessary. My family gives me strength. Well, something happened that worried you enough to increase your security. I’m not worried. I’m handling it. Okay, well, if I knew the details, would i be worried? I take that as a yes. You said you didn’t want to know. I didn’t think I did, but… …now I’m not so sure.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You didn’t push your plate away without eating anything. I’m gonna take that as a good sign. Take it any way you want, Gabby. I will do anything. Anything to get back in your good grace. Well, it’s gonna take a lot more than scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs with Teresa, and I’m a patient man. After six months, I’m gonna wait on time.

We need to cut it down on these fattening breakfasts, if you remember. I do have other talents.

I’m gonna get going now. Where are you off to? Well, why don’t you just track my phone and you’ll figure it out yourself? I’m assuming you turned it off. Right. Wouldn’t want to keep Stephan waiting.

I heard you talking to the old man when I came in asking for more words of wisdom on how to screw me over. I wouldn’t try playing the Mato. You can’t pull that off. I know what you mean. Of course you do. We were in this very room when I told you that I knew what Rolfe and Kristen were doing to you, and I kept silent.

You thanked me for being honest and then assured me that you could get past that as long as I made sure that you or my partner in the running of the company, I upheld my half of the bargain. You responded by dragging me. Hmm. Well, after we made that agreement, I had some time to think. And I remembered all the months that you spent watching me make a fool of myself over Chloe.

And you kept your mouth shut. I was breaking Gabby’s heart. And you knew why, but you didn’t give a damn. So you tried to make me look incompetent in front of way shin last night. Every word you said prior to that about forgiveness, about working together was a lie, wasn’t it? This is all, damn right. It is.

I beg your pardon? Hmm. Oh yeah. You heard me? I. I spent last night shagging, Alex, Kiki. I know I hurt you and you wanna get back at me, but you might want to come up with something I might actually believe. Do you think I’m lying? Yeah, I do. You know, there’s no love loss between Alex and me, and you’re just trying to stick it to me, right?

Wow. You really do think that you are God’s gift, don’t you? Well, Sorry to burst your bubble, darling, but Alex did stick it to me all night long. In fact,

how exactly did I ruin your career? You know exactly what you did. Lady below my whistle, uh, it’s lady whistleblower, if you don’t mind. Unless you’re extending an invitation, pigs will fly first. Leo. Now, because of you and your stupid little column, I didn’t get made. C e o of Titan. Do you know what I do to guys like you?

I’d love to find out. Let me give you a hint When I’m through with you, you will not be able to whistle anything.

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

Do you want me to show you the contract you signed? Do you want to see the clause that says if you commit adultery during our six month trial period, our deal is off? That’s not necessary. Is a mid-morning role in the hay really worth losing your chance to run DER Enterprises? I said I agree to the terms.

I won’t be sleeping with anybody or Stephan until this farce of a marriage is over. Means seven and I waited four long years. We can wait another six months, especially if it means that we’ll be running to mayor together. You sound more determined than ever. You catch on quick. Now get out of my way.

What are you doing here? Oh and a pleasant good morning to you too.

I thought we were going to draw a line across the past and forge a new relationship. Yeah. That was you, but you never had any intention in doing that. You were counting on me to trust you long enough to allow you to strike if I knew that you had been brainwashed and I kept my mouth. , would you really believe me if I told you things would be different from here on out?

Probably not.

We are both his sons. After all, you know, I have to give you credit for slipping me that drug he used. I really didn’t understand what was happening to me. Now, don’t be so modest. You figured out exactly what was going on. And you flipped the script, just like a move on that chessboard over there. Now it’s my turn to play,

so I tell you that I’m not over Sarah, and you seek out my cousin to get revenge.

If only your brain were as massive as you. Ego zander, Alex, being related to you, had nothing to do with what happened. We met and had a few too many, and then I asked him to come home with me. That’s it. Classic. Oh, you wanna talk to me about morality? Really you, you do know that Alex is just using you right?

To what end? Well, he was in the mood and you were there. You know he is shagged half the girls in town. Since he came back to Salem, you was just another notch on his bed quote. Really? What should I do then? Should I go have a little cry? Should I, don’t you confuse me with Sarah? No, it’ll never happen. You know what?

We really hit it off. We were in bed all night long together. I didn’t even think about you. One. I know that’s a tough act. It’s what you pull when you don’t have anything else. Look, credit. Alex is a player. He always has been. I don’t, I just don’t wanna see him hurt you. Oh, but you’ve got no bloody problem hurting yourself, do you?

Can we dial this back a notch? No, no. I like it dialed right where it is. All I did was ask your uncle to gimme a quote for my column. I didn’t know he was thinking of naming you. C e o. My uncle’s the most powerful guy in this town, Leo and ya PR in and told him how I got it on with two women. How did you think that was gonna turn out for me?

He gave my job to his wife. I know Chad told me I couldn’t believe. I thought Maggie Horton curio skillset was baking cookies and butting into other people’s business. Well, now she can add running a major corporation to her resume. And that’s because of you. Would it change things if I told you I was very, very sorry.

I wanted my very first column to be clickbait. You’re lucky I don’t use you as bait. Does that mean you’re no longer feeling homicidal?

I’m gonna make you a deal. Tell me where to sign. Keep my name outta your mouth and out of your little column, and maybe I will let you live.

Hey, trip. Hey, Wendy. What are you doing there? You left without having breakfast this morning. And how do you know You usually make the coffee? Well, yeah, I overslept. I was Ryan late. Yeah, I figured it was that. I was afraid you’d get lightheaded when talking to a patient or something. Wow. You didn’t have to do this.

Yeah, I did feel bad that you got in trouble here. That was not your fault. Hey, if anyone should feel guilty, it’s Johnny. Your boyfriend needs to learn to mind his own damn business.

Come on in. You’re here pretty early, aren’t you? Gabby and I were just having breakfast. Oh, I’m sorry. I can come back later if you want. Oh, don’t worry about it. Breakfast is over Unless you want Ali to whip you up some of his famous eggs. No, I, I had something. Thanks. Uh, I just, just came by to see Wendy.

She was up and uh, out pretty early. I think she was headed to the office. Actually, she told me she was gone to the hospital. Is she all right? Oh yeah. She said she had to talk to Tripp. I guess the two of them have gotten pretty close since he moved in here.

Is this doctored? No, I had a cup from the very same pole, and I’m just supposed to. Take your word on that. I found out you were drugging me. What did you expect me to do? Forgive him for death. I wonder what our father would say if he knew that you fell in with a creep like Lee Shin against your own brother.

If you’d ever met Father, you wouldn’t ask that question. My mother told me plenty about him. How is dear Vivian finding ways to occupy herself at Statesville?

She told me he wasn’t without his faults, but that he put family above everything else. And where was your sense of family values when you seduced Chad’s wife, you really want to go there? They weren’t married when I had my affair with Abigail, and she was also right in the mind measure. Rest in peace.

Well, for what it’s worth, what happened with me and Abigail. I’m not proud of it. I know what it is to regret your actions and what you did to me and Gabby that on your list of regrets. Absolutely. In fact, I thought Roe and Lee, what they did to you was a favor. You gotta help a lot of nerves saying that you may have idealized Gabriela, but I have not.

She will do anything for power. So you keep that in mind. Hmm? You resent her because she’s made it on her own. She built her business from nothing. Now you. You were born on third base and you walk around in this world like you hit a triple

and will be amusing to watch from the sidelines. If the two of you manage to take over the mirror enterprises, I wonder how long it will take before Gabby starts viewing you as the obstacle to her success. Now, we’ve already fought that war and we’ve realized that our love is the most important thing to us.

We’re determined to be together now, and Iran Father’s Company the way we want. The only obstacle in the way is you.

Come on. I’ve told you how. Sorry am for the way I treats you. Oh, father, just shove your bloody apologies, will you? I’ve heard it all Before you dangle this life in front of me so that I’ll do whatever you want while you secretly pine for Sarah to come back to you. Well, you know,

I am over wanting you. Did your night with my cousin convince you of her? Whether it did or not is none of your business. Why are you still here? Anyway, go on. You said that I should be running the paper, didn’t you? Or was that just another night?

Leaving so soon. Well, Maggie wants to be in the office by noon. Did I already tell you I hit your guts? Oh, dear. And here I thought all that was behind us. Yeah. Well, you thought wrong. Well, wow. You were showering in my bathroom. I thought of some questions I’d like to ask. I’m not telling you anything. Oh, come on.

I’m dying to know about your butting romance. What? Butting romance with Gwen, my B fff.

Do you remember saying that The Spectator is my father’s newspaper and so that I should run it? Sure. I do. I still have half an interest. I’m gonna protect that interest. Well, you know what? You can do that without breathing down my bloody neck. And from now on, you don’t get to ask me what I do in my off hours.

I came here to work. You’re the one I had to start talking about last night. I only did that because you patronizingly assumed that I was weeping over you all night. Do you know what Quinn? This is getting of snow miss. So let’s just, right. Yeah. Finally there’s something we finally agree on Zander. I’m gonna work for more motel room.

The last thing I’ve ever want to do is breathe down your neck. You know, maybe next time we see each other we can try to be civilized. Oh, you really civilized. Oh, . That would be a very refreshing change, wouldn’t it?

Will. I guess I’ll, uh, try and catch up with Wendy. Word of advice. Let her call you. Seemed like she had something very important to talk to Chip about, but she told you that I picked up on it. Don’t, don’t listen to him. Okay, Johnny, if you wanna go, fine Wendy, do it. I’m sure she’ll be happy to see you. Okay, uh, we’ll see you guys later.

What was that about? Why are you giving Johnny such a hard time? I don’t trust that kid. He’s a bad influence on Jing one. Oh, that’s right. He influenced her to go to Jakarta and then figure out what you and Ralf were doing to Stephan. It’s not just that he’s pursuing Wendy while he is still involved with his ex-wife.

He and Chanel are just friendly exes and there’s nothing wrong with that. Yeah, I still don’t trust the guy. You have the nerve to judge somebody on their trustworthiness. I have a duty to look out for my sister. Wendy can look out for herself. Oh wait. That’s right. That’s not how you do things. So why don’t you just call your buddy up, Rolf, have him brainwash Wendy.

Out of caring about Johnny. Gabby. Wait, see what now? What? I have something.

Something you are going to absolutely love.

You know, I really gotta think of something nice to do for John about him. I never would’ve realized that you turned, the tables started drugging me. Johnny enjoy is trying to aggravate me, but he’s still my son. Hmm. I don’t know. He’s got a lot of Brady in him. The honesty, strong sense of what’s right, what’s not

You do remember Samantha Brady is his mother. Nah, skip the generation. It happens. So what now? Ej? Hmm? You drugged me. I drugged you. Or even. Ostensibly, I don’t think either of us wants to jeopardize Damara. I agree.

So I suppose I’m going to have to accept the fact that you and Gabriela are intent on finding your way back to one another, which may result in my having to share the running of my father’s empire with the two of you. And will you accept that gracefully? Oh, I, here I have six more months and probably I have to make up my mind about that flat.

Hmm. Okay. . Okay. That was great. Mm-hmm. . I didn’t realize I was hungry. I was, yeah. You put that burrito away in record time. Mm-hmm. . Oh, my dad says I have a trash compact over my stomach. Should be. Ah-huh. Yeah. Well you are a growing boy. That’s just something my father used to say to Lee whenever he was on his third helping of something.

Mm-hmm.

you what? Have a little.

No, you’re perfect.

What is this it? Find out. Oh, mate, I don’t hear any ticking. You went shopping at Saxtons. It’s your favorite store, isn’t it?

Don’t tell me it’s that person. I was going crazy over at dinner. Is that papers? Is this what I’m supposed to be excited over? Hmm? Read what’s on Them. Business proposal. Hey, what did you do? Now, word on the street is the CEO of Saxtons is looking to partner with a fashion brand for an exclusive collection.

This is your idea of a joke. This is not funny. I lost Gabby Sheik to ej. I’ve, I was having you try to buy it back and you couldn’t. EJ may have taken away your company, but he couldn’t take away your talent. You made a success out of Gabby Sheik, and you could do the same thing with a new company, right,

a little early to be dipping into the hard stuff Now. And how do you propose to this new era of Daytons with coffee? Well, can you put it that way?

To family and to two prodigal sons who’ve joined forces to hold onto an empire. It’s a family.

You don’t know when to quit. Excuse me, don’t play dumb with me. You’re not interested in me and Gwen, because she’s your homegirl. You’re trying to get dirt for your sleazy little column. Uh, first of all, lady Whistleblower is not sleazy. And second Gwen isn’t just my friend or my editor. She also owns the paper I write for, well, her end Zander.

Please don’t say his name. My point is, Alex, is that Gwen would never publish episodes from her own life no matter how scintillating they.

What does sound like her? Thank you. So just how scintillating was it? I’m kidding. But in all seriousness, Gwen is my best friend in the entire world, and I’ve already seen one Kiki man hurt her. If you think I am going to stand by and watch another one, use and lose her. You don’t know me very well. Well, I’ll be damned.

Leo Stark actually gives a damn about something besides himself. Don’t let that get around. I have an image to maintain. I ain’t gotta worry about that. Secret’s safe with me, pal. It’s always Gwen because we’re just friends. So if you would, excuse me, I need to get to work. Me too. After you

now, you’re all good to go. Thank you. Johnny, what are you doing here? I came to make things bright. How are you gonna do that? Well, you can gimme the name of your supervisor. I will talk to him or her. Tell him that I, that I was the one who took your id. I, I got the lab results and you had nothing to do with it.

Just let it go. Okay. I can’t do that. Look, I’m the reason you got in trouble. Okay? You’re a doctor. I messed with your professional reputation. That was wrong. I know it was wrong. Yeah. And all I got was a slap on the wrist. All right. It’ll die down unless you go and speak to my supervisor and stir it back all up again.

Is that true? Yes. Hey, best thing you can do for me right now is just stay out of this.

You think I’m just gonna drop everything and launch another fashion line with a a local department store. The CEO of Saxton is serious about growing her business. You’re a media influencer. loaded with design talent, you’d be perfect for them. That’s starting another line that even the pitch takes a ton of work.

It’d be worth it. My friend at Saxon’s is dying to hear from you. I don’t, I can’t even think of a name for the label right now. Oh, I’ve been thinking about that. Uh, yeah, I bet you have. Okay. How about pos of Shin? Oh, you’re gonna make me laugh, please. Okay. Gabby Shin original. Gabriel limited. You know what?

You need to stop. You need to stop this. Okay? Okay. We’ll table the discussion about the name for now, but Gabby, think about it. This could be a huge opportunity for you. I know what this is. You think that you could just sh dangle something shiny in front of me, like a whole new company of my very own, and, and I’m just gonna forget about the C position at Damara.

If you keep me busy enough, I’m gonna just forget about Stephanie and run back into your arms too, you know? Gabby, that is not what I’m doing. Damn it. Okay, I’m on your side. EJ swindled you out of Gabby Sheik, and he’s gonna make sure you don’t get within a mile of Dera Enterprises and I can’t get you back what you lost.

Okay? But I can do everything in my power to help you reclaim yourself as an entrepreneur. I’m serious, Gabby. I believe in you.

I, I have to go look. Just do me a favor, okay? Look over what’s in that box. If it sparks anything in you, you already have an in it. Saxons, whether you want to use it or not is up to you.

Is that text am mayor. Speaking. Hmm. I’m gonna head to the office. A lot of work to get done. Now that games are over, we’re working together. I’ll be alone in a bit. So you’re sending a text about the merit business and you won’t tell me what it’s about. You’re gonna be late to the office. And you’re not telling me why.

It’s your idea of a hunt. You have nothing to worry about from me. Let’s see about that.

Stephan thinks he has his guard up now, but I can still destroy him and he’ll never see the fin break the water because he wasn’t taught by the best like I was.

Julie’s place has been running a full page ad since they opened, I mean, They can’t cancel. We need the revenue. You know what? I’ll just deal with this later. Thank you for telling me. Yeah. Bloody hell. You are late. I didn’t realize I was supposed to clock in. Why are you so stressed? Because I’m trying to publish and edit a digital news source that needs to turn a profit in order to survive.

That’s why. Sounds like somebody needs another marathon night in the sack with her new boyfriend.

Keep walking. You stay the hell away from gr.

And if I don’t stay away from Gwen’s check, what are you gonna do about it? Believe me, Alex, you do not want to know what is with you cause huh? You don’t want Gwen, but nobody else can have her. You don’t know anything about her. Gwen and me, just stay away from her. I’ll meet you. Pay, you’re gonna dress up like a clown again.

Drag me off in a Uncle Vic’s gardening shed. Oh wait, you only do that to women who can’t defend themselves. Speaking of women, Harry enjoying saying, yes, mom. No, mom to Aunt Maggie. Well, we do have one big thing in common. We both can’t stand you. . You thought you had that job and we were so up, didn’t you?

Kind of like you did when he got passed over for Phillip, but can you really blame Uncle Vic Phillip’s? His. You were just the poor relation. He kept the round out of the goodness of his heart. Look, you spoiled, cocky, little piss son. I haven’t taken care a law back when I’ve seen the way you treat women as opposed to you, sir.

A had. She doesn’t need you pounding your chest, taking your claim to her like you’re a feminist. I mean, Gwen’s a grown woman, one who seems more than capable of choosing who she wants to be with. This is your last warning. Stay away from Gwen. We will regret it.

Pures bud is Zand. How so?

I had to tell him that Alex isn’t the love of my life and we just shagged. One night and that’s it. Sander knows that you did it with his cousin. I told him this morning. How did he take it? He wasn’t thrilled. Oh my God. This is perfect. How is this perfect? Vir? You lack my vision, sweetie. You are in the perfect position to use one Keio as to make the other.

Curio is crazy with jealous. I know I’m not interested in making Zander jealous. Okay, fine. How about we make him suffer?

You know, I, I’d really feel a lot better if you love me, make this up to you, but if, if you want me to butt out, then I do. Yes. Okay. Well then I will just say that I’m really sorry. I have to get back on the grounds. Thanks. Give for breakfast anytime.

Hello? He’s definitely not over this. I guess I’ll be seeing you, Johnny.

I do appreciate you trying to make things right. Well, that was the least I could do. I was, I was so set on finding out if my dad was right about stuff and using drugs that I just, I took his ID without even thinking about what it might do to him or what you might think of me, but you admitted you were wrong and you were ready to take the blame.

What guys wanna do that? He made me proud.

I could have my very own fashion line again.

What are you adding, Mike? Coming here. What? And doing that. Come back second. You can have spies all over the building. Calm down, calm down. Calm down. You can just ruin everything we’ve been working for. I made sure I wasn’t filed. Okay. I watched the building until I made sure that bastard was gone. Why take the chance?

Because something happened with ej. Tell me. Oh, we had it out and then we agreed to start working. So he’s over you drugging him. Oh, no way. But he started talking about how we should declare a truce. How we should band together his brothers to protect Damara. Sounds like a bunch of crap. A hundred percent, but I agreed to it.

Why? Because he needs to believe that we’re on good terms. It’s gonna make it easier to oust him in the long run. Okay, but you better sleep with one eye open. I know what I’m doing. I’m gonna end up running my father’s company. Put the woman of my dreams.

Okay, but you can’t keep doing this. You can’t, can’t do this because Lee Lee brainwash you. God knows what else he could do to you. You’re right, you and I, we’re gonna get everything we want and EJ is not gonna see it coming.

Sorry about making you go round the back. I couldn’t risk the two of us being seen together. Servants like a gossip coffee. I’d rather have answers. I don’t like being summoned, especially by the guy who fired me. My, I had no choice in that matter, and that doesn’t mean that we can’t be allies secretly, of course.

What are you babbling about? What sort of alliance could you and I possibly form? I was thinking of helping you hold onto your life.

How do you intend to do that? I have no idea that’s why you are here, but I think you and I need to come up with a plan to ensure that you remain married to Gabby permanently. What’s in it for you? The satisfaction of knowing that I finally succeeded in prying her, grasping little fingers off my brother.

And off our family fortune.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Nate: Trust me, the only thing that’s going on between me and victoria is business. I admire her, the way her mind works, her business acumen. Look, I am learning a lot from her, and I won’t deny that we work well together. I-I don’t understand why we have to go through this again.

[ Cellphone touches bar top ]

Victoria: Right now I need as much information as possible so that I can make my move, ’cause information is power. And power — power is control.

Nate: And you like having control.

Victoria: It’s every bit as important to me as money, if not more so.

Nate: [ Breathing heavily ]

Nate: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Elevator door closes ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Tucker: Adam.

Adam: Hey.

Tucker: [ Grunts ]

Adam: Hey. Um, can I buy you a drink?

Tucker: Hmm, it’s an interesting offer.

Adam: It is? I, um — I didn’t mean it to be interesting. I just, uh, wanted somebody to drink with, you know.

Tucker: Actually on the upswing these days. If you’re looking for someone to commiserate with, you got the wrong guy.

Adam: Do you want a drink or not?

Tucker: Uh, I’ll have a bourbon, neat, please. Thanks.

Adam: So, is, uh, one of the things on the upswing you selling mccall?

Tucker: [ Sighs ] You’re not much of a small talker, are you?

Adam: Well, word on the street is, your company is for sale.

Tucker: Word on the street? Ah. You and I must be hanging out on different streets. Where’d you hear that? Thank you.

Adam: Well, you know, I keep my, uh, ear to the ground.

Tucker: Hmm. Your sister and dad told you, right? I didn’t know you were in the newman inner circle these days.

Adam: Yeah, we’re, um — we’re tight. We’re — we actually, um — we’ve never been closer.

Tucker: Hmm. I’m sure. You relish your role as the black sheep of the family, don’t you? Having plunged a dagger into your dad’s heart by going to work for jack abbott, I can’t imagine that put you on his good side. Frankly, everyone knows victoria’s distaste for you. So, honestly, where did you hear this?

Devon: Thank you so much for getting this food. I didn’t realize how hungry I was.

Abby: I didn’t want you to starve to death. I know you. And I know that you’re not gonna take a break, so I had to come over here and force you to take one with just a few of your favorite things.

Devon: Hmm. Are you talking about you and dominic?

Abby: Well, I was referring to the empanadas, but, yes, us too.

[ Chuckles ]

Devon: No, they were delicious. But nothing beats spending time with you and our little guy. Just looking into his face always puts things back into perspective. So I appreciate you bringing him over here.

Abby: Well, he loves you, and you certainly wore him out, because he has not made a peep since you put him down.

Devon: I — right.

[ Both chuckle ] I know. He’s always been a good sleeper, though. I just love this age and getting to see the world through his eyes, ’cause it’s like you’re discovering everything for the first time. You know?

Abby: Doesn’t it make you want to be a kid again?

Devon: No.

Abby: No?

Devon: It’s not — not me. No. But today did remind me of why I’m fighting so hard to get my company back and why I’m considering buying mccall, because it’s not for me at all. It’s for our son’s future.

Abby: Look, I — I know where you’re coming from, but you don’t have to wrestle back your company for dominic. Who knows? He might not even want to be a part of the business when he gets older. He’s going to be his own person, create his own career, his own path.

Devon: Yeah, I know. I know. And I would never force him to do anything he doesn’t want to do. But I just mean, I want him to be proud of me. You know, I want him to be proud that I’m fighting to protect the family legacy.

Abby: Well, he is gonna be proud of the man you are, no matter what. I promise you that. And look, I hate to segue back into business, but are you still considering buying mccall? I’m jonathan lawson

Nick: I came down to see if I could catch vick. She still around?

Nate: I’m not sure. We finished up a while ago. You know, I don’t always know where she is or what she’s up to, right?

Nick: Yeah, nate. I’ll call her later. Where are you headed to?

Nate: It’s personal information. I like to keep it that way. But elena and I had an argument earlier. That’s why I decided to come out, you know, have a drink and clear my head.

[ Clears throat ]

Nick: Interesting. When I saw you earlier, you made it seem like you came to meet with vick to talk about the mccall deal.

Nate: Yeah, that’s how i clear my head these days — scotch and strategizing about newman media. Business is sometimes a good distraction from your personal life. You know?

Nick: And vice versa.

Nate: Anyway, I’m too tired to face what’s waiting for me at home, so I thought it’d be a good idea if I give elena and me some space and crash here for the night.

Nick: Well, good luck with that.

Nate: It’ll be fine. Good night.

Nick: Good night.

[ Elevator door closing ]

Devon: I told tucker that I knew about him offering his company to newman first.

Abby: Mm. And did he have an explanation?

Devon: He did, yeah. And it made some sense. But the more I think about it, I realize that it doesn’t really matter that he went to newman first, ’cause he pulled that offer. As long as he’s being sincere about what he’s offering me.

Abby: Well, sincerity is always in question when it comes to tucker.

Devon: Right, right. I just — I feel like my reasons for wanting to buy the company are more important than whatever his reasons are for trying to sell it.

Abby: And what are those reasons?

Devon: Oh, just the safety-net argument. You know, in case things don’t go well with this lawsuit and getting back hamilton-winters, obviously getting the company back is my priority. But I have to be smart. You know? And I have to consider whether there’s a benefit to rebuilding a company with tucker.

Abby: Look, I know that i have been the one that was kind of pushing this whole mccall-tucker thing, but, honestly, I-I don’t know if I can fully trust tucker, and I would never want you to get burned again.

Devon: We did riff off each other pretty well when we were talking about our ideas for fixing the company.

Abby: Okay, well, I guess it’s great to be on the same page as the person running the company before you, but it’s not like you would be moving forward, working together. I mean…

Devon: Well, there’s another element to this whole thing. He said that if I were to buy the company, he’d want to come on and take an advisory role and report to me.

Abby: Wait, so, he would want to take a lesser position?

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Abby: How do you feel about that?

Devon: It’s — it’s probably a sign that he’s being honest about wanting to actually fix things between us, ’cause I know he doesn’t like to take orders from anybody.

Abby: Yeah, agreed. That’s true. Um, I guess it shows that he’s trying to form a connection. But I mean, that’s if we are giving him the benefit of the doubt.

Devon: Right. And should we?

Adam: You obviously don’t have your ears as low to the ground as I do. Um, [Inhales deeply] I’m actually no longer at jabot.

Tucker: No, I know that. Ashley told me you underperformed your way out the door there.

Adam: It wasn’t a good fit.

Tucker: The c-suite press-release lingo. Did you also quit to spend more time with family?

[ Chuckles ] Of course, that doesn’t track, because your family can’t stand you.

Adam: No, victoria, dad, and I — we have our issues, but, uh, at the end of the day, we’re family. And we always will be.

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Adam: I know you can understand that, with everything that’s going on with devon.

Tucker: Indeed, I can. Father-son relationships are, uh, huh, complicated. Yeah.

Adam: Yeah, that’s the thing about victor me, is we — we understand each other on a cellular level because we are so much alike.

Tucker: Yeah. Yeah, you are. You’re both miserable, ruthless.

Adam: See, you, on the other hand, you are nothing like devon. You know, him being principled, thoughtful.

Tucker: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Yeah, you really botched that relationship. It sounds like he doesn’t want anything to do with you, including acquiring mccall. Which means I might actually end up being the ceo of your empire.

[ Slaps bar top ] We should drink to that.

Tucker: Adam…

[Sighs] Over my dead body will you ever have anything to do with my company.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

[ Lock rattles ]

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I’m glad you’re here. Come in.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Victoria: Get you a scotch?

Nate: Listen, I, uh — I need to make something clear. I’m not, um, here for sex. I just didn’t want to be rude and not respond at all.

Victoria: Oh. So, instead, you decided to come here in person and tell me to my face that you’re not interested.

Nate: You know full well I’m interested. And that is the problem. I’m already in two committed relationships, okay? One with elena, and the other with newman media. And I’m not about to screw up either one. For copd, ask your doctor about breztri.

Victoria: [ Inhales deeply ] Do you want to sit down and talk?

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: Oh, of course. Okay, well, both feet on the ground at all times.

[ Chuckles ] This isn’t exactly great for a girl’s confidence.

Nate: As much as I’d like to throw caution to the wind — and trust me, part of me wants to more than you know — there’s a logical side of me that’s holding me back. Okay? Not only because I’m in a relationship with a woman I care about, but I would hate for this amazing connection we have at work to somehow be tarnished. I’m happier at newman than I’ve been in a long time.

Victoria: Does some of that happiness have to do with me?

Nate: Of course. I love working with you. You’re a great boss, great leader, a true visionary.

Victoria: That’s it?

[ Chuckles ] You know, the same could be said for my father.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] You look better in a dress.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

Nate: [ Chuckles ] Obviously, there are, um, other physical feelings. A lot of desire.

Victoria: How much desire?

Nate: So much… desire. But I have to rise above it, okay? We both do, for the sake of our working relationship. I’m sorry if you disagree or you think this makes things untenable for you, but I definitely think it would make things untenable if we act on our feelings. I hope you’re not insulted.

Victoria: I’m not. And I think your earnestness makes you even more attractive.

[ Inhales deeply ] You should probably go.

[ Sighs ] I’m gonna just enjoy my little nightcap alone.

Nate: Are we okay?

Victoria: Yes, of course we’re okay. I’ll see you at the office tomorrow.

Nate: [ Sighs ]

Adam: So, when you sell mccall to newman, victor, um, intends to install me as ceo.

Tucker: Hmm. Well, in that case, it’s a good thing I have no intention of selling to newman…

Adam: Hmm.

Tucker: …’Cause having you at the helm would be a surefire way to run it into the ground. And your intel about my relationship with devon is old news. I don’t know what wild promises your father is making to you, but you should know better than to fall for them. The scenario you described is absolutely never going to happen.

Adam: Hmm.

Tucker: So I would tell him and your sister to just move on.

Adam: Well, your deal with devon isn’t done yet. And there’s two things that I know about my family. One, they don’t give up and just walk away. And two, everyone has their price. And the newmans will pay that price.

Nick: Well, look at this. You boys love to hear yourselves talk so much, I’m surprised there’s any oxygen left in the room.

Tucker: What is this, a newman convention?

Nick: Just came for some takeout. Not interested at all in whatever this is.

Adam: Well, tucker was just throwing down the gauntlet, saying that newman enterprises will never get its hands on mccall unlimited, which kind of sounds like the opening of a negotiation to me. So, you know, what would it take for you to change your mind?

Tucker: Hmm. Well, devon means everything to me. And you — you mean less than nothing. So… how’s that for negotiation? Thanks for the drink. Okay?

Nick: Well, there you go. You got your answer straight from the man himself. He’s never going to let newman buy mccall. Are you ready to let this go yet?

Abby: Well, you have a lot to think about.

Devon: Hmm.

Abby: Hmm. And I love being your sounding board, but I should probably take dominic and head home.

Devon: Take dominic?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Why you gonna do that? He’s asleep. You don’t want to wake him up.

Abby: Well, I guess I could leave him here and come get him in the morning.

Devon: I have a better idea. How about you just don’t go home.

Abby: Hmm, but I have to get up very early in the morning.

Devon: Oh, then I can wake you up very early in the morning.

Abby: Can you?

Devon: I can.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: And you just had wine. You don’t need to be driving anywhere.

Abby: Oh, is that what you were thinking when you poured me that glass?

Devon: No. No. No, not at all. And I have so much on my mind, you know I’m gonna be lousy company for myself. I’m not gonna get any rest.

Abby: Are you suggesting that I put you to sleep?

Devon: Well, that depends on if you think you’re up to that.

Abby: I am always up to that.

Devon: You are?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: Hmm. Then be my guest.

Abby: Hmm.

[ Chuckles ]

If you, like many people,

Adam: It’s going to take more than tucker walking out of here, pouting, for me to give up on mccall. We just have to make sure that devon does not accept his offer.

Nick: Tucker wants devon to have the company. Tucker usually gets what he wants. And well, it might be harder for him to win back his son than he thinks. And if there’s one thing that I know, it’s how to work the angles on a fractured father-son relationship.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, adam, even if devon wasn’t in the picture, it’s tucker’s call to make. What makes you think he’s going to sell mccall to newman? I mean, he clearly doesn’t want you anywhere near that ceo chair.

Adam: Yeah, but victor does. And tucker is no match for our father.

Nick: Well, that may be, but you know who is? Victoria.

Adam: Okay, well, she’s not gonna come out on top on this one.

Nick: [ Sighs ] You know the reason you and vick don’t get along? Because you’re too much like dad. You’re both willing to fight tooth and nail for this acquisition, and then you will tear each other apart.

Adam: Yeah. I mean, so what? It — it’s our normal.

Nick: Mnh-mnh. It’s weird and it’s toxic, and you guys need hobbies. And I have no interest in being a part of another newman family drama. It’s why I’m working so hard to keep things civil between you and me when it comes to sally and the baby.

Adam: I appreciate that.

Nick: Okay. So is there any chance you could let go of this dream of running tucker’s company? Adam, you can do whatever you want. You have several high-profile options. Start your own damn company. The world is your oyster. Why does it have to be tucker’s company that will satisfy you?

Adam: Because now I have a reason to fight for it. I have a baby on the way, and i want to leave a legacy behind — a newman legacy for both of my children.

[ Sighs ]

Audra: Nate.

Nate: Hey.

Audra: What are you doing here? I thought you had a date night with elena.

Nate: She had a long day, so it was an early evening.

Audra: Listen, I still feel terrible if I caused any misunderstanding between the two of you. If there’s anything I can do —

Nate: There’s not. I cleared it up with elena.

Audra: Oh. I’m glad. Uh, then what are you doing here now and not at home?

Nate: I just had a restless night.

Audra: Then, definitely, the thing you need is coffee. Why don’t you join me?

Nate: Look, I still have a ton of work to do at home. That’s why I’m here, to fuel up.

Audra: Okay, no worries. See you tomorrow. Did you see victoria this evening?

Nate: Why do you ask?

Victor: Hello, son. Sit down. Now, you made it sound urgent on the phone.

Adam: Yeah, well, I wanted to talk to you before morning. I, um, ran into tucker tonight.

Victor: Hmm.

Adam: And he seemed awfully determined to make a deal with devon.

Victor: Well, what tucker wants and what he thinks devon will do — you know, two different things. Okay? Victoria tells me that she had a conversation with devon, who informed her that he wanted nothing to do with his father.

Adam: Okay, well, then maybe something has changed. I mean, tucker seemed pretty confident, pretty adamant that he could get devon to make him an offer.

Victor: Listen, tucker mccall has always been full of confidence. He’s been full of bull.

Adam: I just — I-I think mccall is gonna be an uphill battle, but I don’t want to let it go. Okay? I’ve gotten pretty excited about this idea.

Victor: So have I. I want it for you, and I want for the family.

Adam: Hmm. I’m not sure it’s gonna be one big happy family as you’re envisioning, but —

Victor: I’ll work that out.

Adam: Hmm. You’re gonna work out victoria’s lifelong animosity towards me?

Victor: We’ll take things step by step. And the first step is to acquire mccall unlimited.

Adam: Okay, well, the key to our success there is devon. We need to make sure that he is not interested, because tucker made it clear that he plans to sell to him, and that is his end game.

Victor: Leave it up to me. (Terrie) if you’re a smoker.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. For bathroom odors that linger.

Victor: I agree with you. I think we do need devon’s help.

Adam: Well, I think it may be more effective if you meet with him. You know, he seems to admire you.

Victor: I respect him, as well, so I’ll see what I can do. Alright?

Adam: Okay. Maybe go meet with him tomorrow morning, yeah?

Victor: To hell with that. I’ll meet him tonight.

Adam: Perfect.

Victor: Now, I’m sort of feeling that the tide is turning in my favor. I see you sort of coming back into the family.

Adam: Only under the conditions that you promised. This is not a warm and fuzzy reunion. It’s a totally selfish move.

Victor: You don’t think I know that?

Audra: I was curious where things stood with the mccall acquisition. I know victoria had some further thoughts on newman coming in with a strong offer.

Nate: Yeah, I, uh, saw her, and we talked about it.

Audra: Tell me.

Nate: I guess I can spare a few minutes, since we’re talking shop.

Audra: And I always love having the boss’s ear.

Nate: Well, victoria had a conversation with tucker, and she tried to convince him that newman was the right place to sell his company.

Audra: Was she successful?

Nate: Not sure.

Audra: Listen, I still think you can be instrumental in this deal. Why not give it a shot by talking to devon?

Nate: I don’t think that would ever work. And frankly, I don’t want to even try. Still too much anger and hurt feelings there. I want to bridge that gap eventually, but that isn’t the way. If I try to mix business with personal problems, it’s only gonna make things much worse. I need to make peace with devon slowly and carefully.

Audra: I know victoria wanted you to make inroads with devon, as well, so she’ll be disappointed. But I’m sure you can smooth that over.

Nate: I already let her know where I stand on that.

Audra: A woman like victoria can be hard to say no to. But I’ve noticed you hold your own with strong women. And victoria will get over it. Ultimately, you know, she’ll admire you for wanting to mend fences with your family, the same way I do.

Nate: Hmm. I don’t know if it’d ever work, but thanks for the talk. Guess I needed to decompress more than I thought. Well, I should get going.

Audra: Yeah. Try and get some rest. I’m sure elena’s probably waiting up for you.

Nate: Hmm.

Tucker: Well, well, well. Working late, I see.

[ Knock on door ]

Devon: [ Sighs ] Uh, just a second. Mr. Newman.

Victor: Hello, devon.

Devon: Hi.

Victor: How the hell are you?

Devon: I’m alright. Everything okay?

Victor: Sorry to disturb you so late.

Devon: It’s okay.

Victor: There’s something I need to discuss with you.

Devon: And what would that be?

Victor: Well, it’s about tucker mccall.

Devon: I heard he tried to sell you his company.

Victor: Yeah. Now, I want to know from you whether victoria was right when she said that, um, you weren’t interested in buying his company.

Devon: Well, I may be changing my mind about that.

Victor: And why is that?

Devon: Uh, it’s — it’s a complicated situation. I’m not really sure you’d understand.

Victor: Huh? Pardon me, but try me. Devon, try me.

[Sniff]

Nate: [ Sighs ] Hey.

Elena: Hey.

[ Keys jingle onto tray ]

Nate: I thought you went to bed a while ago.

Elena: I did, but I woke up and I couldn’t get back to sleep. I thought you were in for the night. Where were you?

Nate: Ah, well, after you went to sleep, I was still wired, so I decided to meet up with victoria to keep talking about the mccall acquisition.

Elena: Of course you did.

Nate: What? That’s what happened. Would it be better if I told you I went for a walk?

Elena: Are you asking me if you should lie to me? No, nate, you shouldn’t lie to me. But obviously you thought about it.

Nate: I am telling you the truth because I want you to know you have nothing to worry about.

Elena: Hmm.

Nate: Victoria and I have a work relationship, nothing more.

Elena: It’s funny. That’s exactly what I used to say to devon.

Nate: Oh.

Elena: But I guess that wasn’t entirely true. And it wasn’T.

Nate: The difference is, victoria and i aren’t doing anything. Look, she’s determined to get mccall. We had to go over all the different permutations, find the best path to bring tucker’s company into newman. She wanted to talk about it so we can cover every aspect of the deal. Okay?

Elena: Yeah. Victoria is ruthless. When she sets her mind on something she wants, she won’t stop until she gets it.

Tucker: So, were you working on acquiring my company or landing nate?

Audra: The two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

Tucker: Hmm. I like your new target. Much better than carrying a torch for your ex. Your quest for noah was getting quite boring, and you weren’t getting anywhere. This going any better?

Audra: It’s too early to say. Nate’s quite the catch, so I’m not the only one in the game.

Tucker: Mm-hmm. Including his girlfriend. You better be careful.

[ Sniffles ] Elena might have more teeth than she appears to have.

Audra: Elena’s a do-gooder doctor with a holier-than-thou moral code. I don’t see her as my competition.

Tucker: Hmm.

Audra: I’m actually more worried about victoria newman.

Tucker: Victoria and nate?

Audra: Not yet. And I plan to keep it that way.

Tucker: So, you’re planning to insert yourself between your boss and your boss’s boss?

[ Chuckles ] Hmm, it’s gutsy. It also seems a little shortsighted and reckless. How do you survive if you steal the man victoria newman wants?

Audra: I’ve landed on my feet after messier situations than this one.

Tucker: Yes, I can attest to that. Still, risky business.

Audra: The bigger the risk, the bigger the reward.

Tucker: And you love big rewards, don’t you?

[ Chuckles ] God, you know, it’s too bad that devon doesn’t trust you anymore. Would have been nice to point you in his direction. Could have used your help trying to convince him to take over mccall.

Audra: What makes you think I would have helped you?

Tucker: [ Clears throat ] Yeah, transactional woman. I would have offered you something that you wanted in return.

Audra: What could you possibly offer that would interest me?

Devon: So, you know that I’m trying to get back control of hamilton-winters.

Victor: Oh.

Devon: Right?

Victor: I’ve heard. And to be honest with you, I am rather saddened by the fact that there’s conflict between you and lily. I mean, I admire and respect both of you. Sad that it’s come to this.

Devon: Yeah, I’m sad that it’s come to it, too, but lily and jill have given me no choice. And I’m being forced to do this to protect the legacy of neil.

Victor: I understand the idea of protecting a legacy.

Devon: Good.

Victor: But why try to do that whilst attempting to get ahold of mccall unlimited?

Devon: Because it would be a safety net for me in case this lawsuit doesn’t go the way I want it to.

Victor: Well, let me tell you something. You’re talking to a man with a lot of experience in business. Safety nets are no good. You know why? You never fight to the very end to get what you want.

Devon: I would agree with you in most cases, but this is a very different situation, because I’m about to go up against lily and jill and the whole chancellor-winters legal team. The only thing I could propose is that if you were able to convince jill and lily to let me keep my company, I might be willing to forget about mccall altogether.

Victor: Let me see what I can do, alright?

Devon: Sure.

[ Footsteps on stairs ]

Abby: [ Sighs ] Dad, um, what are you doing here? When you have chronic kidney disease.

Victor: I’m glad we have this conversation, devon.

Devon: Yeah.

Victor: Things have become very clear to me. So I’ll see you soon. Okay?

Devon: Sounds good.

Victor: Thank you.

Devon: I’ll walk you out.

Victor: Thank you.

Devon: Uh-huh. Good night.

Abby: Well, um, that was awkward. Not the way I wanted my dad to find out about our relationship.

Devon: Our relationship?

Abby: Okay, you know what I mean. I just — I didn’t want him to find out about us — whatever this is — by me walking downstairs wearing your shirt.

Devon: I know. I know. I’m sure he was shocked by it, but, I mean, we’re not doing anything wrong. Not hurting anybody. You and chance are divorced.

Abby: Yeah. And my dad always wants me to be happy.

Devon: Well, that makes two of us. And if I haven’t told you lately how happy you make me, you need to know that. I never want to lose it.

Elena: Why are you so defensive?

Nate: Because you’re putting me in that position. You keep insinuating something is going on with victoria, and I’m trying to reassure you that is not the case.

Elena: I can see that. And the more you try to reassure me, the more worried I get.

Nate: Oh, I can’t win. I can’t win.

Elena: Well, I can’t either, nate. I hate feeling like this. I don’t want doubts creeping in my mind about our relationship, but I also tend to trust my instincts. And right now, they’re driving me crazy because I suspect something that you swear isn’t happening. Nate, I really want to believe you. And I really hope you’re not gaslighting me.

Nate: I’m not. I am committed to this relationship.

Elena: That’s an interesting way to put it. You make it sound like it’s an obligation.

Nate: Please stop. You know what? We’re not getting anywhere tonight. Let’s just talk about this in the morning.

Elena: Nate…

Nate: You are not an obligation. I am deeply committed and in love with you.

[ Both breathing heavily ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Jill: You said you had an alternative for me.

Victor: I think you will like what I have to propose.

Jack: Mamie.

Mamie: Hello, jack.

Traci: Tonight’s the night. It’s finally here — the genoa city bicentennial gala.

Nikki: This is going to be an unforgettable celebration.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Groaning ]

[ Groans ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hi. Hi yourself. Did you get my text? What happened to you last night? Sonny: I’m almost out. Go. I’ll cover you. Boss, tony’s at the door. He and I can keep the shooter pinned down. It’s the best chance you’ve got. You know what you’re doing, right? This is what I was trained for. On three. One, two, three.

[ Gunshots ] Um, sorry I went mia. I was — I was working late. Well, here’s hoping soon you won’t be working at all. For sonny, at least.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Uh, I have to go. Talk later? Sure. Relax. I was just talking to frank. Brought you some bandages and antiseptic. Who were you talking to? Josslyn: Hi. Trina: Hi. -Hey! -Aww. Oh! So do you know what all this is about? I have no idea. I’m just glad you’re with me. Always.

[ Sighs lightly ]

…A while with me hey.

Won’t you… you guys made it.

…Stay a while with me?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephone ringing in distance ] Portia. Elizabeth, hi. Hi. I haven’t seen you since the wedding. Yeah. We have a lot to catch up on. I am so sorry. Oh, then — then you’ve heard. We’re quite the pair, aren’t we?

[ Chuckles ] I’m sure you’ve heard by now that this could be my last day here? Oh, not if I have anything to say about it. What do you think’s keeping him? You know how busy dad is these days. If he’s not teaching, he’s at the invader with alexis. Mm.

[ Breathes sharply ] Sorry to keep you waiting. Oh, something more important going on? You know there’s nothing more important than my sons. Oh. You sure about that? I feel like finn and i come in second lately. Second to what? I think what my brother means to say is, second to whom? I changed my mind. I’m no longer interested in breakfast.

[ Menu thumps shut ] Five minutes ago, you said you were starving. What changed? Are you sure about this?

Yes. With nikolas missing, we cannot abandon his child. Spencer: Couldn’t agree more. Spencer, you can’t be here. I gave esme my word. And I hate to make a liar out of you, grandmother, but I’m not going anywhere. Thank you so much for coming to… what is he doing here?


Like clockwork. Really. Every time I put my faith — whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re talking about gregory? Sure am. Okay, well, what happened? Did he hit on you?

[ Gasps ] He didn’t hit on you. Worse. He lied to me. Chase: What is the deal? There’s obviously something going on between you and alexis. What’d she do? Correct your grammar again? Is that it? You can dish it, but you can’t take it, dad? That woman needs to mind her own business. “That woman”? What happened?

[ Sighs ] Alexis treated me like I was under investigation instead of treating me like a friend. Uh, just one of those annoying spam calls. And you picked up? Yeah, to tell them to stop calling me. Any luck finding out who contracted the hit? It’s a work in progress. I’m sure brick’s all over it. You get any sleep? Yeah, I did. Um, thank you again for getting me patched up and letting me crash here last night. It’s the least I can do. You saved my life. We’re even after you saved mine. Is spencer here? Oh, I figured he was still sleeping. I heard him leave this morning, but I thought he’d be back by now. From where? I have no idea. You told me I could trust you. You can. Yeah, well, not if you bring

[Whispering] Him here. We didn’t bring him.

[ Sighs ] My grandson just came to check on his baby brother and make sure that he was okay, and then he is going to leave. Yes. Isn’t that right, spencer? No. You have to go. No. Can’t you see that she doesn’t want anything to do with you? As if I give… hey! …What esme wants! Shh! My brother does not belong in here, in a prison.

[ Whispering ] And I agree with you, but this is not the way to get it done. I need her to trust me.

You need her to trust me. So, spencer, you must respect her wishes. You don’t want to upset your brother, do you?

[ Chuckles ] This is not over.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry, esme. I’m not. Finally, someone who actually means what they say. Thank you. Oh, my god, it feels like forever since I’ve seen you. It has been a while. How are you doing? I’m okay. You? Life’s been, um, interesting. Well, you’ll have to fill me in. I will. But this is your show. You rang, we came. I wasn’t sure that you guys would. You said it was important. So what’s up? Was spencer with you? Spencer’s coming? He didn’t mention anything. Alright, I think I’m gonnawait till he gets here. I really don’t want to have this conversation more than once. Sounds big. It is.


Ying to help gregoryhave something that he wanted. He wanted to work at pcu and have the freedom to serve on the editorial board at the invader. Mm. But the university wouldn’t let him. So he told me. Okay. Then what? Alexis talks a big game about mutual respect and acknowledging boundaries and letting people make their own choices. And you don’t think she does that? I know she doesn’t, because at the end of the day, she decided she knew more about my life than I do. Friends are supposed to be honest with each other, no matter how painful or how embarrassing. Agreed? Yes, agreed. Well, apparently gregory doesn’T. Alexis crossed a line. Is there a point at which you’ll tell us what that line is? Dad, what’s going on? Mom, what did gregory lie about? And why does he look so upset with you? I thought you were trying to help him. I was. I just kind of… s-sort of went over his head. But I-I cannot stress this enough — I did it because, again, I was trying to help him get something that he wanted. And then I found out the truth. You gave such a beautiful toast at the wedding. Mm. I just wish there was a “happily ever after” part. You don’t owe me or anyone else an explanation. What happened between you and curtis is your business. But if and when you’re ready to talk about it, I’m here to listen. You kind of have your own problems going on right now though, too, right? Well, then maybe we can just help each other. I kept a secret. A big secret. Not just from curtis, but from the person that I love most in the world. Trina. And I don’t know if they’re ever going to forgive me.

[ Sniffles ] Did you guys hear about the mercer twins? No. What happened? They were dating the same guy, and he didn’t even know it.

[ Laughs ] What? Shut up. On purpose? Yeah. I guess they fooled him. No, they didn’T. What? What do you mean? Well, grant’s a buddy of mine. He knew. He did?

[ Gasps ] Mm-hmm. A birthmark gave it away. Oh, my god. Oh, that’s juicy. What else happened? Yeah, come on. Don’t hold out on your friends, cam. Well, he — he said that… cam, what are you doing here? Looks like I’m interrupting. So, is that it, joss? You’re with dex now? Is he the reason why we broke up? Trina: Cam? Never mind. Hey. Sorry I’m late. What’d I miss? I know there’s no love lost between you and spencer, and I know he can be difficult, but he’s my nephew, so I expect you two to coexist. Understood. I appreciate it. A-and don’t worry — I won’t overstay my welcome. Okay. What’s with the beefed-up security?

[ Door closes ] Oh, if it isn’t my former bodyguard. Hi, dex. Hi, kristina. Well, dad, how bad is it? -Thank you. -Yeah. First day I, um, woke up in the hospital, it was so confusing. I mean, I didn’t know who I was or where — where I was, let alone who I could trust. That must have been terrifying. Um, I even… doubted you, dr. Collins. Call me kevin, please. And I didn’t know why until I met my father. That’s because you looked at me and you saw ryan. You just didn’t realize it. I learned pretty quickly what kind of people my parents were. I mean, they were obvious in the way they were trying to use me, but… nikolas and spencer — they were, um, much more subtle about it. Esme, you have every right to be angry with my son and even my grandson.

[ Sighs ] But just know this, please — they love this little baby that you’re holding in your arms. Do they, though? Or — or is ace just one more thing for them to control? Oh, I’m not sure that’s a fair assessment. Well, I’m not trying to be fair. I’m trying to be a good mother. Is that what you’re doing? What does that mean? Being a good mother to nikolas and spencer. Is this just another way you’re trying to work me so that you can take ace away from me for them?


G timeto keep a secret.

[ Sighs ] You can go ahead and say it — I kept life-altering information from the two people that I love the most. I absolutely will not say that. I know what it’s like to do the wrong thing for the right reasons — at least, what feels right to you.

[ Sighs ] I just don’t think anything feels right to curtis and trina. Not now. They’re hurting, and you have to accept that. I do, but — and eventually, they’ll see that you’re hurting, too. And once trina’s paternity is answered, you can all begin to heal. Unless they don’t want to know? W– [ Sighs ] Well, nothing will change the fact that trina sees marcus as her father, and she always will. Yeah, yeah, of course not, but… I mean, if curtis and trina turn out to be biologically related, don’t you think she’ll have room in her heart for them both? Well, you just being real optimistic, and I hope so, but…

[ Chuckles ] Optimistic for a woman who’s about to face the review board, you mean? Now, you should know me well enough by now — I don’t listen to rumors. Well, you should, because all of them are true. Okay, wait a minute. I am confused. Join the club. If gregory isn’t teaching at pcu anymore, what’s stopping him from working with you? Exactly what I’d like to know. Did you ask him? Hi. I’m alexis davis, your mother.

[ Laughs ] Okay, nice to meet you. Of course I asked him. And? He said I was interfering and he shut me down. Well, he’s not entirely wrong — you know, about the interfering part. Normally, I would agree, if that were the issue, but I am telling you, there is more going on than what gregory is saying. Nothing’s going on. Dad. No, nothing earth-shattering.

[ Breathes deeply ] I’m — I’m not teaching at pcu this semester, and for some reason, alexis felt that I was obligated to tell her. You’re — uh, you’re taking a sabbatical? No, just — just a break. To write that novel you never had time for?

[ Scoffs ] Wish I was that ambitious. No, no, I’m simply… taking time for me. Uh-huh. Nothing to worry about — dex is off the clock, anyway. So it’s worse than I thought. Nothing I can’t handle, sweetheart. I’ll give you some father-daughter time —

[ Groans, breathes sharply ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Cut yourself shaving? Something like that. You should try and be more careful next time. You didn’t tell me you had a new house guest. I-I know. I know — “ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies.” It’s all good. Have a seat.

[ Groans softly ] So, what brings you by? Guess. You missed me? Well, always. But also… I have a business proposition for you. I don’t blame you for distrusting everyone — myself included. Especially after your parents manipulated you to help them escape.

[ Ace fussing ] I know, sweetie. Come here. Not to mention using you as a wedge between nikolas and ava. It’s actually a healthy sign that your defense mechanisms are intact.

[ Ace fussing ] Does he always talk like that?

[ Laughs ] Uh, once a psychiatrist, always a psychiatrist. Mm. Guilty as charged. But I’m also family — and without the cassadine baggage. You’re my niece, and he’s my grandnephew. I hope someday you can come to count on me as someone that you can trust and not just see your father’s twin. I might not have ace if it wasn’t for you. You know, esme, neither of us wants to take this baby away from you. But I don’t know. It — do you really think that prison is the best place for a baby? So where were you, anyway, spencer? I was at spring ridge, visiting esme, trying to appeal to her good side.

[ Scoffs ] She doesn’t have a good side. Yeah, tell me about it. Is she still determined to keep the baby with her while she’s in spring ridge? Wait — what? Yeah, you heard her. I’m sorry. It’s legal for her to have a baby in prison? Sounds super messed up, right? What does your grandmother say? That we need to play nice and get esme to trust us, and she thinks that once we do, then esme will, uh, come to her senses, and then realize that she needs to offer the baby up because it’s the right thing to do.

[ Scoffs ] As if she knows the meaning of the words. For real. What? Nothing. Just for a second, it felt like the old times. Us against a common enemy. I’m gonna miss that. Why would you have to miss it? I don’t know how to put this delicately, so I’m just gonna come out and say it. I’m leaving port charles.


Uh, this is a little bit harderthan I thought it would be. I don’t understand. I-is your mom moving to another hospital or something? No, no, no. Mom is staying here. This is a good thing. I, um… I got an athletic scholarship to go to stanford. They want me this spring quarter so I can start working out with the team. Oh, my god. Cam, that’s amazing. Stanford has one of the best programs in the country. Thanks. Oh, my god. Stanford university in california? Wow. That’s the one. Huge, huge congrats. Except you do know that their mascot is a tree? You know what? I think I can learn to live with that.

[ Laughter ] No, I call bs. No. Excuse you? Cam loves playing soccer at pcu. Your family’s here. Your friends are here. What’s the real reason you’re leaving? I knew it. You are no better than spencer. You’re just better at hiding your true colors. I’m thinking of the baby now, esme. Yeah, well, a baby should be with its mother. The law agrees with me. And we will respect whatever you decide, truly. I am just asking you to think about it. That’s all — really think about it. “Is this a place where I want to raise my son, in this kind of an environment?” And god forbid, esme, that you should be sent over to pentonville. Pentonville is going to make this place look like a spa in comparison. I guess I hadn’t really thought about that. You could use this time, esme — figure things out, find yourself… come out stronger, self-sufficient, and ready to make a fresh start. And it doesn’t have to be either/or, esme. It doesn’t have to be prison or the cassadines. This baby has another option. What option? Us. Two grandparents who would love to take care of him until you are able to, esme. All you have to do is ask. I know now that helping nikolas was the absolute wrong thing to do. But at the time… I convinced myself that harboring esme was the lesser of evils. The time that really bothers me is in between officer cabrera being murdered and esme’s escape, when I knew she couldn’t be the hook, or at the very least, she couldn’t have killed officer cabrera. I should have come forward then. I should have gone to the police and just told them everything. But I didn’T… because I convinced myself that if I — if I got arrested, my boys would suffer. I convinced myself that trina and curtis were better off not knowing — that after 20 years, that it would cause more of a mess in their life if I finally did tell the truth. I don’t know why we do this to ourselves. This is so crazy. I-I mean, we come up with these justifications. It makes no sense. I know. It really doesn’T.

[ Sighs ] I would offer to be a character witness for you… but since I have, um… a little bit of character issues on my own that I’m trying to balance, I don’t know if I would do any good. Well, just knowing I have a friend in this place… always. I have the experience and the expertise. All I need is the seed money to get it off the ground. Your own restaurant. You don’t think I could do it? No, I think you can do it, and I’ll — I’ll back you. But…? I’m just wondering where this is coming from. I thought that you loved being the manager at charlie’S. Well, I do. And you got into that little argument with your mom — remember that? I mean, yeah, she basically implied that I’m not ambitious enough, so obviously, I had to defend myself. Obviously.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. I see molly and tj mapping out their futures and sam and dante doing the same thing. You want more? I mean, isn’t that okay? To want more? So, how are things with you and dante? It seems like you two are in a good place, huh? We are… but not nearly as good as that attempt to deflect.

[ Sighs ] Darn. There is clearly unfinished business between you and gregory. Why not just finish it? Come on, mom. At least meet the guy halfway. So, how’s rock-star life and doctor life? Not nearly as entertaining as avoidance life. Oh, like you should talk.

[ Chuckles ] Fair enough. Look, alexis is over there. You’re over here. Can’t you two just work through what’s going on between you? Listen, I’m sorry. I got to — I got to get back to G.H. Uh, yeah, I have somewhere I need to be, too. Hey. Be an adult, would you? I’ll try. That’s the spirit. I love you, dad. Love you guys. Love you. Bye.

[ Sighs ]


There’s nothing wrong with wanting more. But this is not a competition. You know that. Even if my biological clock is tick-tick-ticking away and my kid sister is beating me to it? You have all the time in the world for that. Can I ask you a question? Shoot. Do you still love working at charlie’s, managing? I love dealing with customers and making them feel welcome… right. Mm-hmm. …And it feels nice to give people what they want, you know? And it gives you the time to volunteer at the youth center — is that still important to you? Very. Okay, well, you’re not gonna have that time if you’re — if you’re launching a new business, because you’re going to be, you know, one-to-one with people — that gives way to spreadsheets and — and paying the bills. I want you to think about every angle. Even when you start a business, it’s — it’s a 24/7 endeavor. I think — I think you can do it. I — let me rephrase that — i know you can do it. But are you going to be as happy as you are now? Probably not. Things are pretty great right now. Yeah? Yeah, I love my life. I guess there’s your answer. Just admit that this is because of esme. What? What does esme have to do with cam transferring to stanford? Everything. Not only did esme worm her way into my life so that she could break up ava and my father, she also had her mind set on breaking up this, our friendship. She hated that I had friends, people who I relied on and trusted. Hey, look, I can’t stand her either, but I’m not sure that esme is to blame for cam leaving. I’m not sure that “blame” is even the right word. Getting into stanford is a huge achievement. Getting an athletic scholarship on top of it? It’s amazing. He’s amazing. Why are you tarnishing this moment by bringing up esme? Because esme set everything in motion, josslyn! She used us, and she lied to us, and now she gets some magic do-over because she’s claiming to have lost her memory. And suddenly it’s poor, pitiful esme, and you know what? I’m so sick of everyone trying to defend her. Because if she gets custody of this kid and she gets to raise him, she’s going to ruin his life the same way that she tried to ruin ours. And it’s enough! It needs to stop!

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ] Ace would live with you? That’s right.

[ Breathes sharply ] You know, believe it or not, we’ve done it before.

[ Both chuckle ] As a matter of fact, my, uh, my granddaughter charlotte is living with us right now. Oh, wouldn’t charlotte love having a baby in the house? Oh, that would make her life.

[ Both chuckle ] And ours, too. But only until you have your life settled. If I could trust ace with anyone, it would be you. But it’s just too complicated. What is? I look at you, kevin, and I see my father. I look at you and I see nikolas and spencer, and it’s just — it’s really overwhelming, and, frankly, it just feels wrong. So I have to trust my instincts, which means that my son is staying with me. So you’re headed to charlie’s? Yeah. Well, someone has to hang the “open” sign on the door. I thought it’s been open for hours. Oh, yeah, but when kurt’s the first one in, he always forgets, so… proud of you, kristina. I know you are. Do you? Do you really know that? I think sometimes I just need a reminder. You know you can — you can like yourself, right? God knows I do. I love you, dad. I love you, too. Mm. Thanks for the pep talk. Anytime. Everything good with kristina? Yeah. Um… man, I love that kid. I can tell. She’s the — you know, out of all my kids, she’s the one that’s — that’s like me, and we get each other. Makes for a very lucky daughter. Nah. I’m the lucky one.

How the birds come to nest where’s trina? Hey. Um. She told me to tell you she had to head out. Something came up. Is that something named spencer? That would be my guess.

[ Breathes sharply ] But she promises to, you know, say bye to you before you head out of town. She better. Those aren’t going to be easy, are they? The goodbyes?

What you crave, it is kind… no. Some will be harder than others.

Unafraid, unabridged I should head out. Joss?

Now I’m by your side

to contend with the fantasy of us I’m gonna miss you.

What gets lost… I’m gonna miss you, too.

…In real time it was nice to see you with finn and chase. And you with sam. Yeah. Time with our kids is precious time. Yeah. I just…told mine I wasn’t coming back to pcu. I’m really glad to hear that — that’s all I said. Oh. And that’s where it ends… unless you were telling your daughter something else. I didn’t tell her anything. I just told her. I-I just — I’M…concerned about you. Don’t be. I’m fine. Okay. I’m — I’m — I’m just fine. Okay, okay. I just — I care about you, and I don’t want our friendship to end over this, right? Do you?

[ Sighs ] No. Good.

[ Clears throat ] So what do we do about it? I suppose this — this conversation is a start. Whoa — oh!


Look, I know that we’re done as a couple.

Now I’m by your side to contend… but as you said, that w-we’ve been friends all our lives. At the time, I didn’t think that we could still be friends, but…

in real time wait. You —

[ Scoffs ] You’ve changed your mind?

In real time yeah.

[ Breathes deeply ]

In real time wow. That is such good news. Now, as your friend… I need you to listen to me.

In real time sure. What? Stay away from dex heller.

[ Door opens ] Seems like you’ve made up your mind. Then I think we should be going. Yeah. I, um… I appreciate you making the trip. I would do anything for my family. I can see that. I think it’s time we go back to our room now. Okay, sweetie.

[ Whispering ] He fell asleep. I don’t want to wake him up. Yeah, I’m gonna go put him down. Okay.

[ Crying ] So what are you thinking?

[ Breathes deeply ] Honestly? No matter what anybody says, that girl loves that baby. Yes.

[ Breathes deeply ] Let’s go home. Gregory: No, don’T. Don’T. No, I got it. I got it. I got it.

[ Sighs ] It’s alright. It’s okay. Are you alright?

[ Stammering ] I just — I lost — lost my footing. I-I-it’s — it’s no — it’s no big deal. Have you been drinking?

[ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephone ringing in distance ]

[ Door closes ] Good luck. Thank you. Big day? Yeah. How you feeling? Nervous, but resolute. Hoping the review board will see past my mistakes. For what it’s worth, I’m here for you — as a friend, whatever you need. It’s worth a lot. I can’t — I can’t talk about dex with you. Joss, can’t you just do this one thing? Please. This isn’t about throwing shade. You have to believe that I only have your happiness in mind. I didn’t tell anyone about you and dex at your dorm, did I? No, and I’m so grateful. I didn’t do it for him. I did it for you. I appreciate that. And, joss, I need you to hear me out. You’re sneaking around with this guy — that isn’t you. You’re the most straightforward person I know. And you shouldn’t have to change that about yourself for dex. I’m not changing myself. You hate sonny in that life. Dex is a part of that. I mean, he has a gun, right? What am I saying? Of course he has a gun.

[ Breathes deeply ] He’s going to get hurt. It’s inevitable. That feels nice. Just try to rest, okay? You’re going to wind up living a life that you hate. Joss, you have to know that I’m right. Are you done? Not even close. Aren’t you supposed to be outside with the other bodyguards? Keep people from coming in? How are you going to protect my uncle sonny from in here? I’m off duty. Yeah? Then what are you doing here? Sonny: ‘Cause I invited him. Dex is going to be staying with us for a while. Okay, where’s that binky, huh, ace? Looking for this?

[ Romantic music ]

[ Finn chuckling ]

Finn: It was so good having the morning together.

Steffy: Mm-hmm.

Finn: Just you and me.

Steffy: Yeah. Mm, but you have to go?

Finn: Yeah. I need to get to the hospital.

Steffy: Well, don’t let me stop you.

Finn: You’re not gonna make this easy on me, are you?

Steffy: No, me? Not really.

Finn: Pick this up later.

Steffy: We better.

[ Finn chuckling ]

Steffy: But you’re right, I do have to get ready and start going.

Finn: Mm.

Steffy: Whew.

Finn: Yeah, you got a big day, right? The new forrester dream team is back.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I’m still– I’m getting used to hope and thomas working together.

Finn: Yeah, not just for you. Oh, I bet, you know? Liam, too.

Steffy: Wonder how liam took the news.

Deacon: Are you telling me that after– after everything thomas has done to hope and to your family, what? That she just changes her mind? Gives him another chance?

Liam: Deacon, I try– I tried to get through to her. I brought up all the heinous stuff thomas has done, it didn’t matter. She’s– she thinks he’s a changed man.

Wyatt: Yeah, which is the one thing he’s incapable of.

Deacon: Well, I– listen, speaking from experience, hope does try to find the good in everyone.

Liam & wyatt: We know.

Liam: It’s just, we just don’t need this right now, right? Like, we– like, we’ve got enough on our plate with our dad.

Wyatt: Yeah, but you– you focus on hope and the kids, all right? I will worry about dad and his newfound relationship with sheila.

Sheila: I– I just– I can’t believe that this is real. You saved me. You opened up your heart. After everything that I did, you are my hero, bill.

Bill: We’re two of a kind. Never forget that. I know I may seem a bit withdrawn, at times, but that’s just me. Make no mistake, this is the best thing that ever happened to me. I need this. And I’m here for whatever you need. Even if it’s just an ear. You can talk to me. I’ll never judge you.

Finn: Look, I get your concerns with liam and thomas.

Steffy: Yeah, but okay, part of me just, like part of me feels a little bit worried about hope. I was talking to paris yesterday, and paris is really excited that thomas is back on as lead designer of hope for the future, but she also asked me if hope had issues with it.

Finn: I mean, we all wondered that.

Steffy: Yeah, but this is different. Hope admitted to paris not too long ago that she thought thomas was hot. And I completely forgot about that.

Finn: That was innocent though, right?

Steffy: As co-ceo, I just– I need to make sure. I mean, I’m really happy that things are working out for thomas. You know, I’m the one who encouraged hope and thomas to collaborate again. This isn’t something I– I can just ignore. Like, on some level, hope is attracted to thomas.

Finn: And you think that could be trouble for hope and liam?

Liam: As difficult as it is, hope asked me to trust her. And the truth is, she needs my love and support right now.

Deacon: Even though you’re completely opposed to my daughter working with thomas.

Liam: Well, the last time this happened, the more I fought it the more I just pushed hope away. And I– and I’m damn sure not gonna let thomas come between us. And besides, hope said that– that if he starts up with any of his old tricks, she’d cut him right off.

Wyatt: That doesn’t keep you from stressing about it.

Liam: Of course not.

Wyatt: Well, hope saying that she’s taking a chance on thomas is like dad telling us over and over again, “oh, sheila can be trusted. I can handle it. Don’t worry.”

Liam: But it’s not like that, ’cause here’s the difference. With hope, she really does naturally see the good in everyone. Even to her own detriment. Dad, I– like, he’s mr. Never trust anyone, so something is obviously off there.

Sheila: You know, everyone in this town, they think that I’m a maniac. That I have no regrets or– or remorse for what I’ve done.

Bill: That’s because they don’t know you like I do. You’re ashamed of your past, I’m ashamed of mine.

Sheila: Yeah, I’d just like to bury it.

Bill: Uh-uh. No. We can’T. The only way to truly deal with it is by being open. That’s the gift you’ve given me. I didn’t have that with katie and brooke. They didn’t understand the darkness that lives inside of me, but you do. And I understand yours as well. I’ve done bad things too, sheila.

Sheila: Nothing like I have.

Bill: I love you. And there’s nothing you can do or say that will change that.

Music (“I swear”) plays

Finn: So, you’re worried that hope’s attraction to thomas might turn into something deeper?

Steffy: No– I don’t know. I– I– I know that hope loves liam, and she’s committed to him–

Finn: But…

Steffy: I’m just wondering how she’s gonna be able to work with thomas. How it’s gonna affect her.

Finn: What? And you’re worried about hope? I’m conf– thomas is the one with the obsession.

Steffy: Yeah, but she knew that he was obsessed with her, and she still said that she was attracted to him.

Finn: Oh, so she can so easily say how hot she thinks your brother is that she might–

Steffy: Well, maybe there are just other things under the surface. Other feelings. Maybe that’s one of the reasons why she’s been able to forgive him.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Finn: Are you sure this is a good idea to bring thomas back?

Steffy: Yeah, I– I want hope for the future to succeed. I just wonder what this means for hope and liam.

Wyatt: I just don’t get how dad could be with a monster like sheila. Just the thought, the two of them in each other’s arms.

Liam: Trust me, I– I’m at a loss, too. I tried, I really tried to get him to help me understand–

Wyatt: What? That his new type is a nine-toed homicidal maniac?

Liam: Which is gross.

Wyatt: Yes–

Deacon: Hey, uh, guys, actually I– I’m gonna have to excuse myself. I’m expecting a call, so you’re good?

Wyatt: Oh– oh.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, of course. Uh, thank you for the meal. It was excellent.

Wyatt: The pasta was phenomenal. Thank you. Just the thought of that psycho in dad’s house sucking face.

Liam: How do you look into those eyes and go, “oh, yeah, this checks every box.”

Bill: You’ve given me the chance to be myself, free from persecution and that’s meant everything. I want the same for you. You don’t have to be afraid. I’ve told you some of the worst that I have done.

Bill: Dumping ridge from that helicopter.

Cool him off.

[ Helicopter whirring ] I wanted to kill him. Part of me still does. I’ve never said that to anyone.

Sheila: I know what you’re trying to do, bill.

Bill: Blowing up spectra fashions’ building with liam and sally inside. I could’ve killed my own son. Does that sound familiar? I– I can’t tell you how– how freeing this is. I– I’ve never felt so whole. And I want that for you.

Sheila: Bill, I–

Bill: O– o– opening up is– is hard, but I knew you could handle it. And so can I. I’ve told you the worst that I’ve done. It’s been healing for me and it will be healing for you and that’s what I want for you.

Sheila: No, I just– I want to forget it.

Bill: Forget or repress? We can’t hide the things we’ve done in the deep recesses of our guilty conscience. It’s okay. You can tell me.

Sheila: I’ve done things, bill. Things that you can’t even begin to imagine. Bye, bye cough.

Finn: Now, you’re just taking your sweet time with my shirt, huh?

[ Steffy giggling ]

Steffy: I’m much better at unbuttoning. I wish we could do this all day.

Finn: Hm, me too. You know, it’s wild how life can be so good.

Steffy: Yeah, and so chaotic and scary at the same time.

Finn: Bill and sheila are out there doing god knows what. But when I’m here with you–

Steffy: You just feel peace, right?

Finn: Exactly. We are gonna have to count on that to get us through this next chapter.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: All right? Our love, our connection.

Steffy: Mhm. No, I know, we need to lean on each other. Especially since our worst nightmare is just out there, set free. And it’s all because of bill.

Bill: Must’ve been really bizarre for you when you first moved in. We would have this incredible night of passion, and then I would be kind of quiet and withdrawn.

Sheila: It– it has been interesting.

Bill: Yeah. Well, I– I’d never been able to truly be myself with anyone before. It’s hard for me to wrap my head around that, but now I feel so free. I’ve told you my worst and you’re still here.

Sheila: Hm.

Bill: You know you can trust me, too, right?

Sheila: Of course, I do. I’m still so amazed that– that we’re still together and you transformed my life at– at your expense. I mean, everyone that is important to you.

Bill: Don’t worry about that.

Sheila: No, but I have my freedom because of you, bill.

Bill: You have your physical freedom, but you’re not emotionally free. And you won’t be as long as you carry these things around from your past. Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets, sheila. I can handle it. I know you’re no saint. Believe me, neither am I. I’ve killed people, too.

Sheila: What do you mean “too?”

Bill: I mean that you can tell me your worst and I’ll tell you mine.

Jay: Calm down now.

Sheila: Let go of me!

Jay: No. Now, get a hold of-

Sheila: Let go!

[ Jay yelling ]

[ People screaming & shouting ]

[ Bees buzzing ]

Bill: I can see that you’re still haunted by the things that you’ve done. I understand that. Unburden yourself, sheila. You can talk to me. Tell me everything.

Sheila: It’s just, it seems like–

[ Lights humming ]

Sheila: W– what– what’s going on?

Bill: Ah, I don’t– you know, it’s–

Sheila: Whoa.

Bill: A huge estate. Occasionally, there’s an electrical short. Not a big deal.

Sheila: Well, you know, I have a– I have an idea. Why don’t we, uh, why don’t we go out? Drive up the coast and have a nice romantic dinner on the beach somewhere. I– I’ll– I’ll make a reservation.

Bill: Ah, that sounds beautiful. Let’s do that.

Sheila: Okay.

Bill: Oh, wait, wait, hang on a second. What– no, I– I can’T. I’ve got a really important business dinner. A client has flown in from europe. I can’t miss it. Let’s do malibu tomorrow night and we can pick this up later. Scout is protected by simparica trio,

Steffy: Ah, I guess we have to, uh, go to work.

[ Finn chuckling ]

Finn: Mm. I mean, I’m– I’m trying, I just, you know, I can’t let you go.

Steffy: I know, I think I’m suffering from the same thing.

Finn: You know I hate being away from you and the kids. With sheila out there, you know it’s only a matter of time before she shows back up at our doorstep and it’s all because of me.

Steffy: No, it’s not. It’s because of bill. God, I don’t know what he was thinking. How– how does he claim that he’s in love with sheila? How does he blackmail us so he can make sure that sheila is set free? None of this makes sense.

[ Car revving ]

[ Phone ringing ]

Deacon: I thought you said it was too dangerous for us to talk.

Sheila: It is.

Deacon: So, what’s up?

Sheila: I– I don’t know, maybe I’m being paranoid. I– do you think bill could have an inkling about us?

Deacon: Why do you think that?

Sheila: Because I was just with him and he’s acting strange. I– I don’t know how to explain it, but there is something weird going on with him.

[ Console beeping ]

[ Machine beeping ]

Ridge: How ya holding up, partner?

Bill: How am I holding up? How am I holding up? How do you think I’m holding up? I am ready. I am so ready to put sheila carter behind bars for life.

Wyatt: No one can trust sheila carter.

Steffy: She’s evil. Pure evil.

Sheila: Bill can never be on to us. Could he suspect something?

Bill: We’re on to you, all right.

Ridge: We’re gonna have her exactly where we want her. This could get real interesting real fast.

Tucker: Well, this is a sight to behold. Jeremy stark. How are you?

Jeremy: How are you?

Tucker: So, you’re, uh — you’re out of the clink and back at the scene of the crime, huh?

Jeremy: [ Chuckles ] Tucker McCall, we finally meet face-to-face.

Tucker: Yeah.

Jeremy: That makes my return to genoa city worthwhile. And for the record, I was just telling, uh, Phyllis here tCat there was a crime committed, but certainly not by me.

Tucker: Ah. I see. So, the ex-con’s good name has been besmirched. Hideous injustice.

Jeremy: You’re a funny guy.

Tucker: It’s interesting to see you two commiserating. Strange bedfellows. Although I think it does make a bit of cosmic sense.

Phyllis: Okay, I didn’t invite him over here.

Tucker: Uh-huh. Yeah, I know you. Whatever he was saying to you made a big impression.

[Chuckles] Anyway, nice to meet you.

Jeremy: Yeah. See you around.

Tucker: Have fun.

Ashley: Exactly. And, actually, it’s gonna revolutionize our approach to our anti-aging products.

Allie: Absolutely. And you know what the best part is? Someone has to go in and make the product in the lab.

Ashley: That’s us!

Allie: That’s us!

[Laughs] So, uh, lately, I have been experimenting with essential oils and botanicals. And, um, last week there was a little bit of a product instability.

Ashley: Oh, no. What blew up?

Allie: How’d you know?

Ashley: Wait, what?

Allie: Oh, right! Of course. Dumb question.

Ashley: I’ve definitely had my fair share of r&d mishaps. I mean, you know what they say, right? I mean, it takes a lot of eggs to make an omelet.

Allie: Yeah. Well, the problem occurs when that egg ends up on the ceiling instead of the floor.

Ashley: I know!

Summer: I’m really sorry that you’re hurting. But you were warned.

Phyllis: What are you doing?

Summer: I was gonna have some champagne.

Phyllis: No. No, that champagne is for someone who wants to help me, not someone who wants to say “I told you so.”

Summer: [Scoffs]

Phyllis: Drink your water.

Summer: Bottom line, mom, you were wrong for getting involved without discussing it with Daniel.

**************************

Jack: Bad day?

Phyllis: What made you think that?

Jack: There might be something in the water.

Phyllis: [Sighs] Before you go on with all of your insight about how to deal with my daughter, I want you to know that I am emancipating myself from Summer and all of her issues — and throw my son into the mix. I’m cutting the apron strings. What?

Jack: I’m trying to picture you in an apron.

Phyllis: I’ve worn an apron before.

Jack: I find that kind of hard to believe.

Phyllis: I’ve baked once or twice.

Jack: I mean, I find it hard to believe that you are cutting yourself out of your children’s lives.

Phyllis: Oh, I am. You can only try so hard before people start letting you down in the meanest, cruelest way. And before you start up on me, saying, “Phyllis, you must have done something,” “um, Phyllis, what did you do to deserve this, you reap what you sow –”

Jack: No, you ain’t gonna hear that from me.

Phyllis: I beg your pardon?

Jack: None of those responses apply. I know exactly how you feel.

Victoria: No, no, no, wait! Sit back down. I promise I won’t say anything about her.

Nick: Well, that was easy.

Victoria: I am giving you, my dear brother, the gift of privacy in your love life on Valentine’s Day. Happy Valentine’s Day.

Nick: [Chuckles] Back at you.

Victoria: Besides, I’ve learned the hard way to not keep touching the hot stove. And who am I to talk after my latest romantic entanglement? You were the only person who stayed with me through that whole disastrous time. And even though you didn’t agree with my choice, you had my back. I want to do the same thing for you.

*****************************************************

Sharon: Well, I don’t think you need to worry about that with him. You can always count on Nick to do the right thing willingly, happily. He loves being a father. It’s a trait that all the Newman men have, even though I know that victor doesn’t show it very conventionally sometimes.

Sally: Yeah. I’ve noticed.

Sharon: But I don’t think you need to worry, you know, um, as far as Nick goes. With Nick as your baby’s father, you two will be in good hands, regardless of what the future holds for the two of you romantically.

Sally: Yeah. No, I know you’re right. I know the Newman men tend to be very caring and involved fathers, but not all of them are great partners. And that makes all of this even worse.

Sharon: Well, I can understand how frightened you must be. But Nick is the best partner anyone could have on this journey. This will be a Newman baby, right? But there’s a chance the Newman father isn’t Nick.

Audra: Where are you?

Tucker: Waiting for someone?

Audra: I am, but I don’t think Brad Pitt’s going to make it. So, you’ll have to do.

Tucker: Well, look at us. Here we are out in public. Does it feel strange seeing me this way after months of pretending I don’t exist?

Audra: Doesn’t feel stranger than most of our interactions.

Tucker: She’s feeling saucy tonight.

Audra: You know, this actually feels nice. Just two friends having dinner.
This is what normal people do.

Tucker: Oh, if you say so. I wouldn’t know.

Audra: [Chuckles]

Tucker: God, you’re beautiful. It’s lovely to see you. I… I always find our interactions very stimulating.

Audra: Well, what can I say? I am utterly incapable of being boring.

Kyle: It is not my intention to just buy you gifts and expect forgiveness. I need to put in the work. I understand that. But I need you to understand that comparing me to my mother isn’t fair.

Summer: How is it not fair?

Kyle: This was a one-off attempt to help Jabot by getting rid of Adam. I felt like I had to be deceitful to execute the plan. But look, I’m not proud of it. And it’s not going to happen again because it’s not who I am.
Summer: You lied to me and you continued lying to me even after you had the opportunity to come clean. You chose. You actively chose to deceive me. That is what hurts the most.

Kyle: Look, I thought I was doing the right thing.

Summer: Did you? Because I kind of feel like if you thought that this deal was the right move, you wouldn’t have kept it a secret. No, you knew that it was wrong, and you just wanted to do it anyway.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello. So it’s the first time you stay over at my place, so I thought I would do something special for you, Eric. Thank you. So sweet. Hmm, . Mm.

You’re welcome. But I do have one very important question for you. First. Yeah. Shoot. Mm. Was last night the best sex of your life?

Oh,

uh oh. Elvis has not left the bedroom. Oh, hilarious. How are you feeling? Oh, I feel like I’ve been punched in their head a hundred times. That good, huh? Mm. Well, I brought you this, Harold whipped it up for you. It’s your mimas special hangover here your, well, once again, I want to apologize for my brother’s behavior.

Oh, I, I agree, Mr. Shin. Totally unacceptable. So, uh hmm. Have you given any more thought as to whether you’re gonna relieve EJ of his duties? Okay. All right. Well, uh, Once you’ve made up your mind to remove him, uh, we let you know. Thanks, . Wow. Wow. You really are an ass.

Leo. Who’s that? It’s me. It’s Andy. Where are you? I’m standing right in front of you. Oh my God, my eyes. I can’t see. I can’t see this. This can’t be happening. This is just an old wife’s tale. Have I actually gone blind from constant? You better not be making yourself go blind in the office. Oh. Oh, thank God.

Thank God. I thought I’d never get to see that wonderful bone structure that chiseled physique ever again. Why are you sleeping in the office? Well, I couldn’t very well sleep in my room. Now, could I? Why not? Hello? I was giving you and Gwenny your privacy. What are you talking?

Oh, stop.

Oh, oh, oh Mercy. How much did we drink last night? Mad. Should I be jealous? How the bloody hell are you doing in my bed? Don’t worry. I’m not offended that you forgot my name happens to the best of us. I’m Alex by the way, but I will be offended if you tell me that you forgot our night and passion. I Nice.

Of what?

Oh my God. Oh my God, oh my son.

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

I think that you were taking Leo’s gossip column a little too seriously, please, Eric? No, just Shumer me. Okay. Was last night, was it the best of your life? I told you it was great. Remember? But not the best. I don’t kiss and tell. Mm-hmm. . You would if I were the best, which I’m clearly not. Don’t make this a competition.

Okay? Hmm. Just admit that we have an amazing time together. That’s not enough. Hmm. Could you see, as Nicole Gleefully pointed out, Leo said that you’re the best sex of my life. What he didn’t say was that I was the best sex of yours. And for the record, I never said that. Okay. What? He totally made that.

You’re questioning the integrity of Lady Whistleblower. Are you answering my question with the question? No, I’m lightening the mood. Hmm. What was your question again? . Okay. Well, since you’re being so annoyingly evasive in coy mm-hmm. , I demand another shot. Another shot. Hmm. Yeah, that’s right. Because see, no matter how many times it takes, I’m gonna prove Nicole Walker, mom.

Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm. . Please do.

As you may recall, you’ve made me drink this concoction when I had a hangover not so long ago. Oh, how cruel of me. Oh, come on. Right. It’s tough going, but it. Open up, choo. No, no, no. Stop, stop, stop. Please, please, please. And I’m not hungover. I’m struck by my brother. You know that? No, no. I don’t know that. Not for sure.

I mean, it could have been an accident and maybe you mixed up the cups. I’m positive I switched the cops correctly after Stephan s strike. Martin. He must have, he must have switched them back. Well then if that’s the case, Stephan must know you’re onto him. I have no doubt about that. John Roman gave him a pretty big headss up and Stefan took full advantage of it.

So you’re trying to get my dad fired, right? That that’s your goal. That’s father’s goal. Hmm. What the hell does that mean? You saw for yourself, Johnny, he was a total disaster last night. Yeah. Yeah. Because you’re a two-faced trader. It’s because you drugged him.

Don’t play coy with me, Mr. Stud McMuffin. When I got back to the room last night, the Do Not disturb sign was on the door. So I assume you took my advice, got back together with Gwen. I didn’t wanna interrupt your steamy reunion. There was no reunion, Leo. Gwen and I didn’t get back together, but you’re officially divorced from Sarah.

Now why not make it officially official with Gwen? Cause I’m. I’m still in love with Sarah and can’t fully commit to Gwen. Can I please tell me, you didn’t say that to her? Of course I did. I mean, I have to be honest. No, you don’t. You big dummy. Ah, always. Brains or bra? Never both. What would be the point in life to her?

The point in line would’ve been to protect her feelings. You insensitive jerk. My God. Gwenny must be in agony right now. Her heart’s shattered into a million pieces and I feel terrible that. I care too much about Gwen to lead her on Leo. She deserves better than that. You’re damn right. She does. And now I am going to comfort my friend, let her know that she’s too special and wonderful to waste her time on the likes of you, your big, insensitive shallow meaning.

Wait a minute, if you can. Gwenny Warren, having sexy time last night. Why was the do not disturb sign on the door?

Oh, oh God. Oh, I, I remember. I remember now. I, oh, it’s all coming back to me. Yeah. Apparently I preceded my legend.

We, um, we, what did we, we ran into the, um, we ran into each other at small bar and we got completely bollocked, didn’t we? Because that Oh, bloody oneand. Can’t get over Sarah Horton. And, um, and, um, you, uh, I lost my job. Right. Yeah. Maggie, the tyrant, she stole your job. Hmm. And then we, we came back here and had a nightcap and we had.

Wild. Hot, passionate, no holds barred. Oh, no, no, no, no. Too many adjectives. My head’s pounding sex. We had sex and you know what? I think this was a first for me. Uh, at first, yes. A first with a British woman. Are you a beautiful, sexy, stunning British woman? Yeah. Well then technically I am an American. And what’s with the heart accent?

Uh, well, what does it matter? It doesn’t matter at all. All it matters is that you really, really, I’m really turned me on. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. That’s fine. No, this cannot happen again. This has been a terrible, terrible mistake.

Well, why was there a do not disturb sign on the door if there was nothing to disturb? I suppose because Gwen wanted to be left alone. Poor. Thanks. She was probably crying her eyes out all night time to think of it. I did hear mother damn you Zander cook. I was trying to be honest with you. Yeah. So you keep saying what do you think you deserve a medal for being honest.

When the entire time you’ve known Gwen, you’ve treated her like she’s a second fiddle to that skinny snooty Sarah Horton. And now even though skinny snooty woman has given you the Hepo left town to get away from you, you still treat Gwen like she’s a damn afterthought. Like, like she can never measure up to your standards, which is completely absurd given that you are a total swine with the soul the size of a pee.

You know what? I’m not gonna call her. I’m going to go see my bestie in person and stop her from doing something she might regret.

Last a mistake. Now wait a second. When, look, we, we are practically. Aren’t we? And we just knew each other a few hours and we just jumped right into bed with each other. Okay. So you never had a one night stand before? Yeah. Yes. I’ve had my wild days, of course, but God, now I’m in love with another man. Right.

Xander, who is still in love with Sarah Horton. So you used me to get back at him? Oh, I did not.

Yes I did. Hm. I’m sorry. Don’t be. I’m not at all besides, I’m still trying to get over Stephanie Johnson. She’s with Chad, so I have no reason to feel guilty either. Neither do you. We are both single and, oh God. Don’t say ready to mingle. I hate that. I would never say that. What I was gonna say is that we are both consenting adults and what we did is perfectly normal.

Unacceptable.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re right. I don’t, I don’t owe zand or anything. Exactly. So we are free to have all the earth shattering sex we want with no regrets.

Pretty great, wasn’t it? Definitely. In fact, I think it deserves an encore.

Hang on a second. Last night you tipped me off that somebody was drugging me and now you’re accusing me of drugging my brother, which is it, honey, I’m guessing. I’m confused. No, you’re not. Don’t try to manipulate me. I’m a der too. Remember you got me there After I tipped you off last night, you decided you wanted to get back at my dad’s, so you pulled the old switcheroo.

Causing him to ingest the drug that was meant for you. Go ahead. Tell me I’m wrong. Mm. Well that all depends on what, if it was in fact your father who was drugging me. Is that what you’re telling me, John? John? That my own brother’s been plotting against me.

So I not only called shin old, but then I proceeded to talk about how my son was possessed by the devil. Mm-hmm. . And then you topped it off by shoving Stephan. Ah, damnit. It was pretty hard to watch. Yes, I’m sure. And now I have to do major damage control. How are you gonna do that? Well, with way I can just express great contrition and turn on the charm.

It’s Stephen. Stephan is a whole other story.

I, I think there’s only one move to make where Stefan’s concerned, and that is well after Johnny tried to do the right thing, your brother now knows you’re onto him. So all this subterfuge is, is pointless. He. It is time for you to confront Stephan once and for all.

Okay, so I’ve decided not to worry about Nicole or that stupid gossip column anymore, really? Mm. What changed your mind? Well, while we were just enjoying each other just now, I realize it’s incredibly demeaning for me to compete with the Navy. I mean, I know I’m the best sex you’ve ever had. I don’t need to hear it from you.

I admire yourself, confidence, and I admire you for your impressive staying power.

In fact, I think you might have just earned yourself a pass at my retainer fame. All right, Jenn, generous of you. Oh no. But I’m still charging you for your defense Fair. I don’t know why I can’t afford you right now. Hmm. I wouldn’t worry about stacking up too many hours. I, I think this case is gonna be over pretty quickly.

That, that’s great to hear. It makes you so sure. Wow. A bulk of the charges resulted from you pretending to be my paralegal and as the victim, I can just make those charges go away by not cooperating with the da, which then leaves. The kidnapping charge, not a big thing, right? Well actually I think I can cut a deal with traffic.

Really like

speak of the devil. Well, is it about my case? Oh my God, Eric, it’s bad news.

Thank you again taking my case. I know it’s gonna be a lot of extra work for you. No, well it’s probably a good thing. It’s good for me to be busy, right. Sure it is. I know how close you were. Miss Marlena

think I miss her every day. I also think that she would be really upset with the riff you’re having with your brother Eric, right now. What? I just wanna eat breakfast right now, Brittany. I’m just saying you and Sammy, I get that’s, Normal. Are you and Eric? I mean, you’ve, you’ve always got along well, that was before he became a moody jerk.

I think he’s going through a rough patch and what he needs. A little bit like no, what he needs break. Listen, if this is your lame way of, of trying to get me to represent him answering. No, I’m not. I’m not. No, no. He actually already has a lawyer. What? Who? Oh my God. It’s her. That horrible heartless bitch.

Yes. That horrible heartless bitch is Sloan Peterson. That is his lawyer

charging me with attempted murder. I mean, how is this possible? Apparently Stephan’s heart stopped. Has Ralph was zapping him. I wasn’t zapping him. I wasn’t even here for the. It doesn’t matter. I mean, the laundry list goes on. I mean, she’s really piling on the charges. You said this was gonna be easy. I mean, how is this even possible?

Um, well, well maybe it was because something I said,

you are right. It’s time to bring this fight out in the open. I’m just gonna get pretty ugly, especially since both of you live under the same roof. Now, let’s step Dewey’s Worst. I’m not afraid of him. I just don’t want you being pulled into this mess depot. Oh, don’t worry about me. I can hold my own . Don’t I know it?

Well, I guess there’s no sense in putting this off any longer. I’ll let you know how it goes. Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hang on a second, sir. We need to take a shower first. It’ll help you clear your mic. Yeah, that’s a great idea. But you know what’s an even better idea? What’s that? Let you join me, you know, for extra clarity.

Mm,

well, Is my own brother plotting against me thing You think I don’t see right through you. Okay. Quit playing the victim. Here I am the victim. The cup that EJ drank from was meant for me. So you did switch the cups? What the hell was I supposed to do? Johnny? Huh? Let my brother sabotage me in front of way shin.

I was giving him a literal taste of his own medicine. Look, I don’t know what’s going on between you and my dad, but whatever it is, you need to figure it out. Your brothers okay? You shouldn’t be tearing each other apart. You really think you should be lecturing me on Brotherly Love? What’s that supposed to mean?

Didn’t I just read in the gossip section that you almost slept with your twin sister’s girlfriend and that led to the demise of their relationship? All right? It’s a little more complicated than that, and also that’s not what happened. Allie and Chanel didn’t break up because of me. They broke up because Allie decided to have a one night stand with Alex, Kiki.

Ah, well you still having regrets? Ah, I knew that. We can’t have a go at around three. So ? No. No. I can’t. I can’t. I’m, I have to go to work. Oh, I’m gonna hop on the shower. I’m

fine. Mind if I make a cup of coffee? Yeah. Go for it. There’s a little, uh, coffee maker on that table over there.

Poor Gwenny. She’s probably hiding under the covers. Wallowing in her misery. Oh, Leo is here to save the day. Gwe. I spoke to Xander. The man is a total.

You okay there? Yeah, I’m fine. I just need to catch my breath. What are you doing here anyway? I’m not really sure. It’s my place to wait. I know my wish came true. What are you talking about? Yesterday I was at the park and there it was. A bright and shiny penny on the ground. I had to raise some little brats.

Pick it up. Knocked her out of the way. Here you are. Yeah. I’m sorry. I don’t follow. Hello? Find a penny. Pick it up. Then tonight you get to hold on. What’s, hold on. You’re a little late though. It’s morning. But I won’t hold it against you, Leo. Or will I look how, how stupid am I spending the night at the office when I could have been here with you.

But what are we waiting for? Here I am. There you are. Oh. Time out, ti time. Time out. Who are you gonna put me in a timeout? Daddy. Not your lucky penny. I’m not here because of you. Well, then why are you here parading around? Stark naked patent pending. Leo, who else is staying in this room? Well Gwenny, but she, oh my gwenny.

You know, I just don’t get it. I thought Sloane dumped Eric because she was super pissed at him for getting raw out of jail. Apparently she, for forgive, Ugh. I just thought we were done with this wretched, bottom feeder. You know, I just don’t understand how Eric and her got together in the first place. I mean, what does he seeing her?

What? She’s kind of hot bell, you know? Oh God, dude, you’re such a man. Yeah, I am. I am. I’ve been called worse, by the way. Yeah. Well, can’t actually think that that woman is good for our brother. Actually, I don’t at all, but, but from his point of view, I think maybe she has been there for him when things went south.

Mm-hmm. . And that’s why he is been such a jerk because she’s been there for him. Look, given my history with Kristen Damara, I’m in no position to judge. Oh, please. Anyone with a brain is in a position to judge that Sloan Peterson is a nightmare. I just hope and pray that. At least keeps it professional this time.

I don’t get it. I mean, how could this be your fault? Trash through the book at me. I know, but maybe, maybe because I told her to you. What? Look, it was before I agreed to take the case, I was still angry with you. You know, I kind of, I went off in front of Trask. I mean, God, who knew I had so much influence over that woman.

This is all because that stupid column. No, this is because of your stupid action. Nathan. You talk her out of it. I don’t know, Eric. I mean, she’s already gone to the press with this. Knowing her. She’s not gonna back out, so then I’m screwed.

Not necessarily.

Okay, look. All right. I’ll be the first to admit, my sister and I have definitely had some real knockdown drag outs, but at the end of the. We love each other, and I, I can’t believe that I’m about to say this out loud that I even have to, but you don’t drug your sibling to sabotage their career. Okay, Johnny?

I know you mean well, but this is between me and your father. Except it’s affecting the whole family, you know? Not to mention the company seen the stock lately. It’s in the dump way. Shin’s unhappy. This whole thing’s a mess. I’ll get it under control. Not a fair war with my dad, but why don’t I just go get him right now.

You guys can hash this thing out here. And now.

Hello, Mr. Damira. Hi, this is Sloan Peterson, counsel for Eric Brady. I was hoping you and I could have a little chat.

I’m all done in there if you’d like to hop in. Thank you. And there is something seriously wrong with your friend.

Did the two of you. My girl get it. Also, I had been worried sick about you. Why? I ran into Xander at the office where I slept last night. Thank you very much. He told me what happened between you two. So I raced over. I thought you’d be hole up in here crying your wi eyes out, licking your wounds. Turns out you’re licking something else entirely.

Filthy. Ah, I’m filthy. I’m filthy. Okay. I’m filthy, but so are you Gwendolyn bagging two of the hottest guys in Salem first Ander. Now Alex, you are a queen. I both hate and respect you at the same time. Huh? You have a But that’s out of the way. I did get a sneak peek at the main attraction, and I have one word.

Epic indeed. Girl. Give me all the deeds and I mean everything.

So, uh, I was thinking maybe I should go with you when you confront Stephan. He’s less likely to kill you with me there, Nicole. This is not your fight. No, it kind of is since not only I was Stephan’s unintended victim, you and I are seeing each other again, which makes us a team. Right? I suppose it does.

Mm-hmm. I know it says. Now let’s go kick your brother’s ass.

You know what better safe than sorry, God, this family. Good morning, son. Good morning. Uh, good morning Nicole. Morning. How you feeling, dad? Better. Thank you. Um, thank you for helping me out last night for getting me outta here before I can make an even bigger fool of myself in front of shin. Yeah, well it’s uh, probably no surprise to you that Uncle Stefan is pushing for him to fire you.

No, it’s not. So where is my backs stabbing brother, you just missed. Oh, well, look, dad, I hope you’re not mad about the warning I gave him. I, but you know, I, I, I know it backfired on you, but like he said, he. Just give your taste of your own medicine. John Roman, you don’t understand this whole drugging business.

I wasn’t the one who started it. It was your Uncle Stephan

attempted. Attempted murder. That’s insane. Well, I think Trask was playing hardball. I wasn’t trying to murder him Bell. I was just trying to help him. For God’s sake, I take it. You got the message from Trask. Yeah. It’s pretty ridiculous. Yeah. You missed a button there, counselor. So much for keeping it professional.

I assume Brady mentioned that I hired Sloan. Yeah. One bad decision after another. Sloane’s an excellent attorney and you gave me no other choices. Okay, listen, I don’t wanna fight and I actually do think it would be better for all of us to work together on this. I know you and I don’t really get along, but I think we have a common goal in keeping these two idiots out of prison.

So I think we should do an end run around trash and call Stephan Dira. Gee, what a great idea. I wish I had thought of that. Oh wait, I. Oh, and here he is now.

Okay, well we were there and then we ordered another round and another round, and then we, um, started talking about his work situation. Honey, how is any of this relevant to what I want to hear? I said everything. But what it meant was everything. Like everything. What don’t you wanna know about how we got into bed, honey?

No. No. Boring. Boring. Listen to me carefully. Nobody cares about the setup. Press fast forward. Choose your words wisely and paint me a vivid picture of that God among men and men. Okay, go.

Okay. Um, me see, uh, Well first he uhhuh, . He did this. Oh, I have to get that. Sorry. Hang on. Oh damn. Musts be an emergency with the advertiser. I, I have to go to work. Sorry. I am gonna throttle you. Uh, can you maybe just tell Alex I to run? You better. Give me all the details later. Missy, this is gonna be great for stuff at lady whistleblower column.

Don’t you dare. Or I will make it so that lady is not just a nom.

So, wait, let me get this straight. Stephan spiked your drink and then you switched it with his, and then he switched it back. Oh. This cat and mouse game has been going on for a while. Technically, I never actually drugged Stephan. He drugged himself. He just didn’t know about it. So why? Why is he doing all this in the first place?

I suspect he secretly holds a grudge against me for not telling him about the brain. . Well, that’s great. Now you guys can just be done with it. Call it even. I was planning on confronting him, but I guess I’ve missed my chance. Yeah, well, in that case I should probably get going to work. Oh, I was, uh, I was headed out too.

You need to lift? Yeah, that’d be great. Okay. I’ll see you tonight. Looking forward to it.

Well, if it isn’t the brother’s grim, please uh, have a seat.

I didn’t realize the whole gang was gonna be here. Mr. D. Thank you so much for meeting us. Yes. As I was just telling Ms. Peterson, we have a common goal to get your brothers off the hook for what they did to me. I realized that, um, their methods were reckless. You think they kidnapped me, knocked me out, tied me to a bed so a mad man could experiment on me.

Yes. But in the end, the experiment was a success and you’re back to the man you once were because I was. That was a hell of a risk one that they took without my consent. You wanted to talk about consent? Excuse me, pal. Listen, Brady, let us handle this. Mr. Damara. I admit that our clients were extreme, but everything worked out for the best.

And since the DA doesn’t have a case without your cooperation, we’re asking you if you could please not press charges.

What they did was unconscionable, but as much as I hate to admit it, in the end, they did me a favor. So you’ll talk aask. Consider the charges dropped.

Uh,

Stephan, thank you. Yeah. Thank you.

Oh, no, I still can’t stand her. Oh.

Oh, I didn’t think you were coming in today. Um, yes. Well, I heard that there was a problem with one of the advertisers. Oh, I was just like to take care of that actually. Yeah. Well, I’m here now so I can take care of it. No, I’m happy to cover it if you wanna take the day off. Why about to do that going? You, you don’t have to put on a front with.

Was just here. I feel terrible that you spent the night in your room all alone. Crying. Crying.

Actually, I wasn’t alone. I was busy hitting the sheets with your cousin, Alex.

Where’s Gwen? You should do go to work. Looks like it’s just you and me. Handsome. Good One of the moment alone with you. Me too. I have a bone to pick with the guy who ruined my career

on. Put that away. Considering you’ve saved my life, sis, practice is on me. Well, thankfully Stephan was willing to listen to the reason Dave and Sloan, you make a pretty good team. Maybe you should, uh, you know, get firm together or something. Then who would represent me when I throw her out the window?

thought about that. No, there will be no teaming up between me and that awful woman whom I still loa with every fiber of my being. Just wish the hell Eric would stay away from her.

Johnny, I’m really sorry about lying to you and Wendy about what was going on. Hey, you’re not the first person who’s ever kept a secret from my dad.

So you and he are, uh, getting pretty close, huh? Ah, yeah, I guess we are. Does that mean you’re over my uncle?

I’m getting there.

I’m certain you don’t approve of all this end fighting father, so whether you like it or not, there is going to be a reckoning between my brother and me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 I am sorry. I don’t remember inviting you to sit here. You didn’t Then why are you here? Well, because US members of the Bad Day Club have to stick together. This Spencer can’t argue with that. You are. Um, Alex, that’s. And you are Gwen.

Well, I would say nice to meet you, but we have so many people in common. It’s almost if we’re old chums. Mm-hmm. . Does feel that way. Huh?

So who puts you in such a rotten mood when your rotten cousin Zander?

Oh,

sorry. Your talk with Gwen didn’t go so well. Yeah, well, It went about as well as Lincoln’s nights at the theater actually. Sorry. So was it, um, bad business wise or relationship wise? Both. Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah. No, I’ve made Gwen so angry. I don’t think there’s any relationship left. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where’s all this anger coming from?

Okay. I don’t get it. Yeah, neither do I. What do you think Johnny did? What do I think he did? No, I know exactly what he did and he can’t dodge this one cuz I have the receipts.

You had fun at the museum, didn’t you? Oh, I’m not gonna complain about seeing Van Gogh paintings of clothes. Hmm. So much beauty in one place. The art was pretty good too. Are we gonna keep doing this? What compliments. Going into the exhibit was your idea. Remember, after I found you and s Stephan together, I thought you were trying to make amend.

I was trying to make the best of the situation. I didn’t know dinner was gonna be a part of it. What’s wrong with dinner? I’m not hungry. Ah, you said the same thing when I made you ch laquila for breakfast and then you scarf those down. Come on. You love the steak here, just like you love the exhibit. And then what?

By the time our, our six months deal expires, I’m gonna. Just let go of s Stephan and love you again too. Yeah, that’s right. Except, uh, things can happen a lot sooner than that.

Once again to D Mirror,

Oh, soit is so brave that you came over for dinner.

I’m so glad you were able to join us, Mr. Shin. I’m very glad to be here. Yeah, and I know that Shep is making beef Wellington, so I hope I see your liking. Oh, it sounds wonderful. This feels like it’s going to be a night to remember. Couldn’t have said it better myself, brother.

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

Well, I hope you don’t hold it against me, that Zander and I are related, even though blood is just about the only bond we have, especially after the whole kidnapping mess. I do not wanna talk about that. Fair enough. Besides Zander’s, actual crimes are really the least of my issues with him. Oh yeah. You know, he tried to be good in his own way.

How about you? Did you try to be good? Mostly? How’s that working out for you?

What do you think? Right. So it seems to me that in a weird way, you and Zander are a pretty damn good match, except it’s not the match that he wants, despite the fact that she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. Zander will never stop loving Sarah Horton,

you know? Realized I was doing the very thing that I told you I didn’t want to do. Leading G went on. Mm-hmm. So you made her think you were gonna be a couple again? Only cuz I believed it. I mean, I really did think that, you know, once I saw the final divorce decree in my hands, I would finally accept that Sarah and I are over for good.

I don’t think it works that way. No. The feelings didn’t miraculously disappear. I can’t lie to going about that. Even if Sarah hates me, she doesn’t hate you. She’s just done with you. Now you’ve got to get over her. Are you gonna end up alone?

You know, you really need to work on listening when people. Like, like I am not in love with you. Or six months or six years he and I are not happening. Hmm. I heard you say those things and yet they’re not sinking in because you keep talking about winning me back and you’re starting to sound delusional.

I like to call it hopeful. Okay. Well, you can call it whatever you’d like. It’s still a pine tree only because you’re treating it like it’s some kind of chore because it is. It doesn’t have to be Daddy. This quality time we’re spending. Look at it like I’m doing you a favor. A favor. Yeah. Yeah. The more time you spend with me, the less time you spend fighting your temptation to be with Stephan.

Or even worse, giving in. So you’re helping me out. If you cave, you force me to invoke. Cause 2.6 of our deal and you lose out all my damer shares is one night of nostalgia. Was Stephan really worth that?

So I found this startup in South Africa. They’re making incredible breakthroughs on clean energy. They are hungry for investors. I’m intrigued. I must have missed a memo on this one. Oh, I was gonna brief you in the morning, get your sign off. You know, I’m sure it was just a misunderstanding. Yeah, of course.

Sorry, I, I’m sure you were caught off guard just as I was caught off guard when you told me that Mr. Shin was joining us for dinner tonight. So guess we’re even, I’m going to check in on how, see how those appetizers are coming. Nicole, would you like to join me? I know you had a request for the chef. Oh, yes.

Right. Thank you for reminding me. Of course.

Did you hear Stephan back there? Obviously he’s trying to win shin’s favor. He called us Eva. Something tells me you don’t see it the same way. Mm. He will be after the drugs kick in and he makes a fool of him. Which might be any minute now

finding the deal in South Africa will be a big win for Jamira. You, Cindy, on top of things, you sound surprised. Well, to be honest, I had a conversation earlier with your brother. Hmm. About, uh, he worries that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf put you through. Hmm.

I appreciate my brother’s concern for my wellbeing, but I can assure you I’m perfectly fine. Hmm.

Ah geez.

Maybe Xander will come around. Hm. My God. Do you know how many times I’ve told myself that? Never know. Feelings are weird. Feelings are weird. Wow. That should be on a refrigerator magnet. Dude. easy. I just mean, you know, sometimes they can take a little while to sort him out. Do you know what he said to me?

He said that once he sees the divorce decree, reality will set in. And I’m guessing that’s not what happened. No. Reality did set in, it just settled in for me, not him. And he told you what? That he didn’t want to be with you? He said he still loves Sarah and he doesn’t know if you’ll ever her get over her

when? I’m sorry that he hurt you. I, I don’t even, geez, do you know what the worst part is though? Was he was trying not to hurt me. He.

He said it’s not fair to lead me on when he knows that he’s still got feelings for so often. Alright, well I think that’s honorable. I guess. God’s honorable. Come on, honorable my ass. I am the best thing that has ever happened to that man and he will never know God. Who do you have to shout to get another refill around here?

Hello? Oh, hey, hey, hey. X round’s on me. I got it. Thanks. God’s sake. Listen to me. I’m just going on and on and on about myself. I haven’t even asked you why you are here, why you are so miserable as go on. Then what’s her name? . Good guess. And yes, I did ruin things with the best woman I’ve ever met in my life, but that’s not the reason why I’m here tonight.

Mm-hmm. and Royal, you. I am here tonight because of Sarah Horton’s mother.

Mm-hmm. . Why am I telling Sarah’s mother all ? Maybe because you expect me to get in touch with her and let her know that you still love her. No, I mean, unless you want to. I told you before, I wish the two of you had worked this out, but I’ve learned my. I mean, I, I made my feelings clear to Sarah and, and I told her that this time I’m gonna stay out of it.

I understand that I’ve lost Sarah and now I’ve driven Gwen away too. Seems I can’t help but hurt the women in my life. Mm. Well it seems to be a lot of that going around.

Okay. Someone tell me what this is about. I’m sure it’s nothing. Yeah, of course. Well, it says Johnny won’t tell you. I will. You see, he came asking for my help for some lab results for his father. I told him there’s nothing I could do, so he stole my id, impersonated me and stole those results from the lab.

That’s how you got those results? Yeah. He put my good name and reputation at risk all because he and his family always think they’re above the.

I know how much he admired my father. He was a flawed and complicated man, but his drive and determination was unmatched , and he never ever let someone get the better of him, which is why I’m trying to follow in his footsteps.

Look at him over there, droning on trying to impression. Doesn’t he know droning is your specialty? . Stefan will get what’s coming to him soon enough. I love a good tour wreck dinner party. Mm-hmm. . Let’s join them. See how things are progressing. Whoa, whoa. You okay? All good.

Good job buddy. I seven believe that you’re drunk, but maybe tone it down Well, shin’s looking okay. Is it a little warm in here? I just me,

I’m glad you were raised his dinner party, ej. It’s given me a chance to, uh, stress the importance of rising up our stock price. Of course, it’s all he’s thinking about. I can vouch for that. Okay. EJ is the first to admit that this stock slide was due to an unfortunate mistake. But believe me when I say that, he’s doing everything in his power to make sure it never happens again.

Isn’t that right? Ej? Uh, of course. And he’s using this opportunity to make changes within the company. That’s why I’ve developed a new program to teach all DER employees media strategies as we navigate this new environment. And I know EJ is fully on board. See, when I, I’m sorry I’m not finished. When one employee is able to cause this big a crisis by opening his mouth, that tells me that the culture needs to be changed.

And I can assure you that we are going to change that culture. Stop talking.

Mr. Shim heard you the first time. For God’s sake, the man is old, not deaf.

So, uh, if you’re distancing yourself from Gwen, does that mean you’re quitting the spectator? No, Gwen certainly doesn’t want me there, but you own half of. Yeah, but it’s, it’s Gwen’s legacy, not mine. So you’re unemployed again. We’ll see. Don’t worry. I’ll find some non-legal way to fill my own. Well, then maybe you could fill in Harry Titan.

Right. Yeah. Doing what? Taking off for Alex. I wouldn’t complain.

So Maggie got the job that you were expecting at Titan? I would say deserving, but yes, ooi. Do you have a problem answering to strong women? I love strong women. Gender is not the problem here. Gwenny. That job should be mine. I should be the one on the front page of the Spectator with my plans of laying out the future of this company.

So why isn’t it you?

Because my Uncle Vic, not a near full of some gossip about my extracurricular activities. Hmm.

Wow. Oh dear. That’s funny, huh? Yeah, it’s um, lady Whistleblower. Oh, lady Whistleblower. You know all about that, huh?

Yeah. I’m really sorry to tell you that I am the new editor at The Spectator, and Leo is my gossip column expert. Oh. Great. Come on. I mean, what’s the big deal? Anyway, you are

handsome and you are quite charming and you are rich. I mean, why shouldn’t you have a wrong with two beautiful, young, willing women? Yeah, I do like the way you think, but my Uncle Vic, he’s. It was little old school.

Yeah. Is Maggie really the like the best for the job there? I mean, she’s nice enough, but does Victor think that she’s CEO O material finally. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Do you know how many times I tried sounding the alarm about this in an ad? Just gets shut down with this extreme prejudice. And now honestly Gwen, I’m just trying not to blow my inheritance.

Well, if you want that pot at the end of the rainbow, I think you’re gonna have to be a good little soldier. And you’re gonna have to follow Auntie Maggie’s orders, aren’t you? Mm. That’s the deal. Well, I think it sounds good. Just don’t cause trouble. You get to live a fabulous life and he had to sha whomever you like.

So kind of wish you told me that. Y.

When I asked you how you got those lab results, you said you have your ways, well, I guess his ways are identity theft. Johnny, you don’t have to believe me now. You can just talk to the lab director who called me while I was at the nurses station looking for my lost badge. What exactly did he say? Oh, he figured out that someone unauthorized used to get those reports.

Were he gonna say something, John? What? What can I say? Yes, yes. I use Trips Badge to get those results. Yes. Wow. You know, that’s illegal, right? I needed answers. Wendy and I are trying to help someone, Wendy and I, are you actually throwing her under the bus? That’s not what I was doing. Then why did you lie to me about how you got those results?

Because he knew how you would react, and he’s too much of a coward, to be honest.

What, what? I admit they make good steak here. What do you, what do you want from them? I was just remembering the last meal we shared here. What about it? You got a little carried away, ordered the most expensive bottle of wine on the list, and then when we were. We heard another. Hmm. And then later when we went home, stop.

Stop, stop. What? That wasn’t a good night because I seem to remember it being one of the best nights of my life. I mean, a night that lasted all the way through till morning. By the way, I never felt closer to you. To anyone can tell by the way your cheeks are flush. You remember? I know what you’re doing.

Well, is it working

Mr. Shin? I, I am so sorry for that outburst. I blame myself for what happened with the stock, obviously, and it’s frustrating. Understandable. And, and once he gets the prices up, the frustration will be gone. Ah, as will I. Yes. Well,

Uh, uh, dinner should be ready. Uh, let’s eat, shall we? Yes.

I know you’re supposed to act impaired, but, you know, uh, maybe not. Try not to insult shin. I, I didn’t mean to say that. I, I don’t know what’s happening. Stefan was getting under my skin and just slipped out. Oh, you look sweaty. I’m tall here. No, it’s not. Are you sure that you swed the correct drinks with s Stephan?

Of course. Oh, because Stephan’s the someone who’s acting fine and you’re acting off, I’m fine. The drug shall kick in for Stephan any minute. We will go and sit down and have dinner with Mr. Shin and Stephan will prove that he is unfit by going face first into his bowl of soup.

So Alex totally undercut your authority and he still has a job. I let him off with a warning. Let me, he was, he was only being passionate about something that he believes in. Still almighty, you can’t have insubordination in your ranks. The truth is that I didn’t wanna become c e O and fire the only other kek in the company on my first day.

That would’ve be a bad look. Ugh. I wish I had the KIS I could count on.

I wasn’t just gonna. Auntie Mag, shut the door on Bella. So I back channelled my concerns to my uncle. All right, . So, um, let me get this straight. You. The, um, you said the boss, your, your boss, the big boss, made a decision. A bad one, . And you went, you went behind her back to her husband . Wow. I mean, when you put it like that, uh, I guess I’m not a.

Team player. Name one person in your family who is, what you thinking of? One in particular. You are like that. You more just go after what you want. Consequences be damned. Oh, huh. What about you? How are you raised?

Mostly I raised myself.

By the way, it doesn’t seem like either of us have gotten what we want.

It’s misery.

Where is mine

to misery?

So you wanna get outta here?

Look. I’m sorry. Okay. That I got trip in trouble, but he gave me no choice. Okay. How do you figure, I asked you for your help. He didn’t wanna give it to me, so I borrowed your badge for like 10 minutes. Okay. No, you didn’t borrow trip’s. Badge, you stole it. So what you, you, you think that what my dad is doing to s Stephan is okay, but both things are bad.

Yeah. One’s a hell of a lot worse. You knew this was wrong or you wouldn’t have kept it from me.

You should go, Wendy. No, I’m serious. Johnny, what do we have? If I can’t trust you, I’ll text you tomorrow. Once you’ve had time to think about this, you’ll understand.

Look, I’m sorry. Are you okay? Ali warned me about how impulsive and selfish shawny can be.

I guess I’m still trying to learn what that means.

It’s a great idea to have Harold set us up in here with coffee and desserts. Mr. Shin. Nicole, can I get you coffee? No, thank you. Ah, I’ll pass. Aj, you’re not gonna say no. Only if you join me.

This is one of my favorites. See why it’s one of the only abstracts we own.

And father acquired this squad in Tuscan. I agree. F l had Yes indeed.

Why don’t you show Mr. Shin that incredible sculpture you purchased at the auction? Oh, I would love to. It is so special. Believe it or not, our father actually owned it in the sixties.

You tracked him again and maybe he didn’t get enough in the first trick, but this time, this time, He’s going down.

So you wanna know if your shameless flirting is working. What’s so shameless about it? I was just remembering what it was like to be in bed with you that night and hoping that by the time September rolls around and we’ve made new memories, you’ll be. Stephan, who

I admire your persistence.

What else do you admire about me? Uh, check. Please check. Oh, we can’t leave yet. Why not? I pre-ordered the souffle for dessert. We can get it to go. You want to go back home just like last time?

I am sorry. I know I was hard on Johnny there. No, you had it coming to him. You have every right to be pissed. It was my first day back at the hospital, you know, and I wanted everything to be perfect and just, I dunno. I feel like such a responsibility to honor Kayla’s memory and I’m sure she’d be proud.

I know I’ll never. Go the doctor she was. But that’s important to me that I don’t do anything that’ll stain her reputation or even this point, my dad, while still breathing. Hey you, nothing wrong today.

Thanks. Okay. I’m really sorry Joani put you in this position.

If I known what he was gonna do, I would’ve.

Oh, Stephan, why don’t you share some of the numbers with Mr. Shin for the South Africa project? You sure you want me to do that now? Why not? Oh, Johnny. Hello Uncle Stephan. My son. What a grand addition to the group. I Hey dad, . Oh, have you? Have you two met? You’ve got to meet my boy. Hey, can I talk to you for a second?

In a minute. In a minute. I’m sure you know all about this young man. Way after all. He could be the air to the Damira throne. Well, I am will aware. Hello Johnny. Mr. Shin. Hello. Come on. You can do better than that. Johnny Tuck. Oh, oh, oh. Of course, Mr. Shim is a legendary judge of character and talent, so I’m sure he’ll find Johnny completely amazing when he finally gets his chance.

Huh? Hey, right, and let’s not hold against him. That whole new devil possession thing, wife, you need to go. Now. Why? Because there’s been a mistake. The only mistake I see is two CEOs, okay? That, are you all right? I got this. Ej. Hey, I don’t know what is going on with you, but you need to make an excuse. Go upstairs and lie down cause I’m not tired.

You need to lie down. Before you embarrass yourself any further, embarrass myself. Who the hell do you think you are? Ej, clearly you are messed up. I am not messed up. You are three.

Oh, okay. That was clearly not supposed to happen. Okay. You know what? Ha didn’t sleep much. He was up all night. But I switched it. I, I, I, I know I switched it. Just come with me. Uh, excuse us. CJ just needs to, to freshen up. Johnny. Yeah.

Mr. Shit. I apologize for my brother’s behavior. Honestly, I. No idea what’s going on.

Hi guys. Lee Ding. When trip we interrupting something? Nope. No, we were just uh, talking. Where were you? Two Dinner at the bistro. We brought you some delicious. So, . I drove nice and slow so it wouldn’t collapse. You guys want some? Yeah, that sounds great. I’ll go put it on the plate. Okay. I’m gonna go change.

Oh, tired. Long. Good. Uh, um. Oh, and here we are sitting on your bed. Uh, don’t worry, I’m gonna head to sleep soon. Have a long day too. You know, it, uh, it isn’t that bad for sleeping. It’s that sexually. Pretty comfortable couch. Ah, well, glad you don’t mind. Yeah, yeah. No, no. Um, what I meant was, is, um, you wouldn’t mind me.

Yeah. I was thinking, uh, you know, I’m sure it’s very expensive for you to move back here and quit your job out west, so maybe I can help with that. Oh, pow out. You can save a little money. Crash out here on the couch. Let me have your room. Yeah. The answer is no, Lee. He’s not in. Let him answer. Uh, look, if this living situation’s a little too cozy for you all, uh, I can always go back to my dad’s.

Oh, I love having you here. My brother’s just gonna have to get used to the couch. He made it. Now he gets to lie in it.

Well, it seems you are wrestling with an impossible. And which question is that? Well, on one hand, you could rely on the Keri Aus that went crying to your husband when he didn’t get his way. Any other on the other, you could rely on the Keri Aus that lied to your daughter after he perpetrated an ill-fated kidnapping scheme.

Well, that’s why I’m the c e I get paid to make those tough calls. I suppose that’s true. Mm-hmm. . Well, most people would think it’s an easy call and Alex. May not be a loyal employee, but he’s not a felon. But you are not most people are you Maggie? No, I’m not. I actually think you did a pretty good job when you were in charge, uh, a few years back.

You might be the only one, maybe. So still is fun to imagine. Oh, you and the two of us taking on the corporate world, defying expectations both. No. Victor would never sign off on it. So I’m ceo. Victor doesn’t get a say. Not about Alex. And not about you.

Maddie, are you home? But who’s Maddie? Leo. Where you, what? You live here with Leo Stark. I. The little twrp cost me my spot at running tight. Whoa. And it’s a good thing that that little twerp isn’t here, isn’t it? Oh, it’s a good thing. . Right now I believe we were in search of a nightcap. That’s what we came here for.

Now, is that the only thing you came here for?

This isn’t making sense what is happening to me. Oh, I don’t, oh gosh. I, I don’t know how he managed it, but Steph had must have switched the drinks. How? Why? I don’t know.

This is probably his plan all along. But how did he figure it out? Ah, this might be my fault. What you guys said that Stefan was on drugs and something about that didn’t really sit right. So I got my hands on a copy of the lab reports you had ordered. I found out what was in the vi. I thought you guys were trugging it.

My God. You told him. I know. I didn’t say it was you. Oh God. I.

You know, your brother warned me that you were still feeling the effects of what Dr. Rolf had put you through, but clearly he’s the one we should be worried about. Well, I appreciate your concern for my brother’s wellbeing, but he’s resilient now. You don’t have to defend on family obligation. Our obligation is to the shareholders.

You’re right. Sometimes I’m too loyal for my own good. Uh, may I speak freely? Of course, yes. I have been worried about my brother ever since the death of his mother and something like that. It leaves a mark. Oh, clearly your worries are justified. What can we do about it? He and I are equal. Perhaps not for long.

Where did Trip and Wendy go? They went outside to get some air. Hmm. So they didn’t want tole

a. A. Apparently not. Gabby. That outfit is incredible. Mm. Well it’s not for you. It’s for when my six months of hell are up and I can finally sleep with the man that I love. I see. So this is you torturing me. Yeah. For you torturing me. Mm. Yeah. Museum. Incredible meal. How can you stand it? I can, so I guess all there’s left for me to do is to go back to that big, cozy bed all by myself.

You know, I’ve been meaning to ask you that contract that I signed, I know that I can’t be with Stephan, but, and there’s nothing in there that says I can’t dream about him. Right. Imagining him in that bed with me. Ripping off this outfit, taking me into his arms, making love to me all night long. Okay, well have a good night on the.

Victor can’t stop you from bringing me in to replace Alex. Hmm. Now you just need a good answer for the other 10,473 reasons why it’d be a terrible idea for you to do that. Well, I’ll get to work on that right away. In the meantime, I need to go home. Um, you wanna share an elevator? Absolutely. I just need to do a quick text.

Can you gimme a second? I’ll meet you in the hallway. Hey. Hmm. Thank you for listening to all my stupid Mistakes and standing by me anyway. You are, you’re a very loyal person. Who knows? I may be asking for that loyalty in return. Pretty soon.

Maybe we should just enjoy that drink. Okay. Can’t blame the guy for trying Right.

You, um, can’t blame for trying not one. You okay?

Okay.

No. No, not. Okay.

Let’s change that up, shall we?

Nick: It’s been difficult the whole time. I will give adam credit, though. He seems to be behaving like an adult and respecting the rules.

Victoria: Well, that’s a first.

Nick: Sally was very explicit about what she wanted his role to be during the pregnancy.

Victoria: Mm-hmm. And he’s not using the fact that he is the father to his advantage? He’s not trying to manipulate sally to suit whatever his agenda might be?

Nick: Not yet. But I’m ready for anything.

Summer: I just can’t help feeling in my bones that things aren’t over between you and adam yet. I sense some sort of eternal connection there, as if…

Sally: What?

Adam: As if we’re meant to be.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Victoria: You know, one of the things that I love the most about you is that you have this ability to see the best in people. You have a very big heart.

Nick: You’re just jealous because you don’t have a heart at all.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, maybe that’s true, but not in all cases. Anyway, it comes in handy when I’m dealing with certain personalities, like adam’S. You know, you have to remember who he is and what he’s capable of, and you cannot take him at his word.

Nick: I know. I’ve been burned by it too many times.

Victoria: Yeah, we all have. So, the fact that he is suddenly acting like a responsible, mature adult — that should be setting off alarm bells for you.

Nick: Oh, I know. They are clanging in my head loud and clear. But I appreciate the reminder, especially since I know that you would prefer it if adam and sally ended up together.

Victoria: Well, I mean, i can’t lie. They do seem like they’re better suited for one another.

Nick: How so?

Victoria: I don’t know. I mean, their personalities just seem closer. Look, nicholas, I’m not judging you. I’m just saying, my observation when I look at sally and adam, they just seem like a more natural couple than you and her. Don’t you agree?

Nick: No. But I guess I could see why you would say that.

Victoria: Okay. Well, if that’s true, then maybe you should be asking yourself, “should I be concerned?”

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: Roses. I know. Alarmingly cliché.

Sally: But still very sweet. I love some good old-fashioned romance from time to time.

Adam: Well, good, because that is what you’re gonna get with me.

Sally: Ahh. I remember when you brought me flowers on my first day as ceo of newman media.

Adam: You didn’t exactly have a classic response to those.

Sally: What, I didn’t thank you?

Adam: I think it was more along the lines of, “this is such a big risk. I don’t know if I have the experience.”

Sally: God, yes. I had a total freak-out. I’m very sorry.

Adam: Well, don’t be. It was honest. And it was endearing.

Sally: Sure. Yeah. We’re gonna go with that.

[ Both laugh ] Look, I really appreciate how much you’ve believed in me since the very beginning.

Adam: Of course I did. Because I know you like nobody else does…or ever will.

Lauren: That looked like a pretty intense phone call.

Phyllis: Ah, no, that was nothing. Thank you.

Lauren: Thank you. Well, it sort of felt like something.

Phyllis: Really? No.

Lauren: Yeah!

Phyllis: I mean, I was just talking to the salon. I’m trying to get a mani-pedi appointment, and they can’t get me in till next week, and i just — look. Look how horrible my nails are. I need to get them done. So, that’s all that was. I… hey. Thank you. Thank you for pointing out that I was intense. I really appreciated it. You know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna call that salon and I’m gonna apologize to them. That’s what I’m gonna do. I’ve been apologizing a lot lately.

Lauren: Yeah —

Phyllis: Hey, but I want to talk about you. You — you’ve been planning for the bicentennial party. So, I want to know all about it.

Lauren: What’s going on?

Phyllis: What do you mean?

Lauren: Well, the last time i saw you, you could not have been more miserable, and now you’re just, like, vibrating with positive energy or energy of some sort. What happened between then and now?

Jack: No, it was not the threat of jeremy stark that led me to propose.

Kyle: How could that not have been a factor?

Jack: If anything, it might have put things in perspective for me. And by that, I mean I realize i no longer want to keep looking backwards, rehashing the past. It’s not fair to diane. And we’ve done it too long.

Diane: Yeah. I don’t expect people to forget all the things I’ve done or to just let it go. I mean, I’m aware that forgiveness has to be earned, and I will continue to win people’s trust by the way I live my life.

Jack: When diane first came back into our lives, I was suspicious of her motives, of her intentions.

Kyle: We remember.

Jack: I was trying to protect you, kyle. Now, I can’t remember the exact moment when I fell back in love with her, but I know it happened shortly after I realized she was trying to protect you, too. When I saw the love she had for you and for harrison, yes, it was a change of heart for me. I realized then that she is not the same person, that she is a different person with different — different priorities. Not everyone’s going to agree with me, but as far as I’m concerned, diane has nothing left to prove. Kyle, I asked her to marry me for one reason. I love her. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I have not been this happy in a very long time. You have to also remember that this love started many years ago. Yes, it has been put through unbelievable tests, and still the flame has not extinguished. And we feel the full force of it now. And we can’t — we won’t deny it any longer.

Diane: And we also have the wisdom and experience that we didn’t have the first time we were together. We’ve both been through so much. And we have matured into different people. And we are better together than we are apart. I love my hardwood floors.

Jack: Kyle, diane is already an integral part of this family. She’s your mother. She’s harrison’s dee dee. She adores that little boy every bit as much as we adore him. This is the natural next step.

Kyle: I can see how strongly you both feel. I appreciate that. But you must know not everyone is going to see this as a natural next step.

Jack: We are well aware of how others might react to this. We can’t let them dictate our decisions. We have chosen each other. We want to embrace this wonderful thing that has happened to us, and we are sincerely hoping the both of you can do the same.

Kyle: No, we want you to be happy. You have to know that.

Diane: We do.

Summer: And you do seem happy.

Kyle: But I am still struggling to understand why you feel the need to get married now. It’s a lot to process. We just — we need some time to let it sink in.

Diane: All right, that’s fair. We don’t want to push. We just hope that you can see it in your hearts to give us your blessing — at some point.

Jack: And we are trying to keep this quiet for right now. Of course, we wanted to tell you both, but if you could keep this to yourselves, we would appreciate that.

Summer: I will be very quiet, silent.

Jack: Well, we are headed to society. We’ll talk later.

Diane: Oh, kiss harrison for me.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ]

Summer: What the hell was that?

Nick: I’m not worried about adam making inroads with sally, if you’re asking if I’m jealous.

Victoria: Are you?

Nick: No, 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: [ Laughs ] 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 greatacquisitions. 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: I don’t want to fight with you right now.

Nick: Alright. Should we reschedule this fight for some other time?

Victoria: Hi, nate. What a pleasant surprise.

Phyllis: After that very unfortunate evening I had with you and michael, um… I had a moment. I had a wake-up call.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve been self-sabotaging. And it’s made me very unhappy. I don’t want to do that. You know? It’s not what I want.

Lauren: Well, good. I’m glad to hear it.

Phyllis: Yeah. And I am sorry.

Lauren: Wow. Look who’s getting better with the apology thing.

Phyllis: I know! I know!

Lauren: Wow.

Phyllis: Practice makes perfect.

Lauren: Yeah. You know, I so want to believe this change is positive and legit, but I still think you need some, you know, perspective and — and distance.

Phyllis: Okay. Sure. What do you have in mind?

Lauren: I have a great idea. Girls’ trip. Let’s go for the weekend to vegas. I have some business there, and it’s not gonna take too much time, which means you, my friend, can have some fun.

Phyllis: That’s great. I would love that. You know, um, why don’t we do that, but just not now. I can’t get away at the moment.

Lauren: Really? I mean, don’t take this the wrong way, but you don’t have a job and you’re fighting with your kids.

Phyllis: Why would I take that the wrong way?

Lauren: Look, I’m just asking you, what is keeping you from leaving?

Phyllis: I-I just have a lot of things going on, other things, and I just can’t leave town at the moment. You can’t run away from your problems, right?

Lauren: Honey.

Victor… why are you still

living with odors?

Jack: Evening. Lauren. Phyllis.

Lauren: Hi, jack.

Phyllis: Hey. You two look amazing.

Diane: Thos sincere.

Phyllis: Well, I’m just pointing out the obvious. That’s all.

Lauren: So, let’s just leave it there then, okay? An unspoiled, surprisingly civil moment.

Phyllis: I mean, I made an effort. That’s what I did. I get points for trying.

Diane: Oh, is that because you’re always keeping score?

Phyllis: That’s right. I was always keeping score, wasn’t I? I played a game, and I lost. And you know what that caused me? Nothing but misery. Nothing but misery. But, see, I want what you guys have. That’s what I want. I want romance and love and beauty. I want what they have. And, uh, that’s hard to get, isn’t it? It’s harder to sustain. Right? Especially in your current circumstance.

Jack: What circumstance?

Phyllis: I’m just surprised to see you back in town.

Nate: So, elena crashed as soon as we got home, but I still had all this energy, so I wanted to see you. The latest developments with tucker’s company have my mind working overtime.

Victoria: Yeah. That makes two of us.

Nate: I was thinking maybe we could continue strategizing about the deal?

Victoria: Yeah, of course. Um, nick and I — we just bumped into each other by chance.

Nick: Huh. Yeah. Um… I was just coming by to see sally.

Victoria: Well, you’re welcome to stick around for the discussion, if you’d like.

Nate: Absolutely. I would love to hear your input, nick.

Nick: Yeah, maybe next time. I got to get upstairs. You, uh, have a great conversation.

Victoria: Actually, I have been going over some of the numbers that I wanted to show you.

Nate: Okay.

Victoria: Well, this page here.

Nate: Yeah, I was going over this, as well.

Sally: Why are you here?

Adam: You know why, sally.

Sally: Refresh my memory.

Adam: Because we are meant to be.

Sally: I didn’t say that.

Adam: It doesn’t matter because it’s something that we both know is true. Do you remember how perfect things were when we were together? I mean, of course you do. It was impossible to forget.

Sally: I remember.

Adam: And up until that moment, both of us had lived lives like we were on the outside, like we were at war with the world and ourselves. And then suddenly there was this person in front of us that understood us. I mean, I saw you exactly for who you are. I accepted you. I loved you in a way that made you feel like you didn’t know what love was until that moment. We had a connection of a lifetime, and I know that you feel it just as much as I do. We are meant to be together. And that is what this baby represents. This is our love that is real. You and me, whoever, we’re gonna create this incredible person. Sally? Sally!

Sally: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Sally! Sally? Sally, if you don’t open this door, I’m gonna call security! On the count of three. One, two — are you okay?

Sally: [ Exhales sharply ] Get in here.

[ Door slams ] Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: [ Breathing heavily ]

Victoria: You know tucker. He has been a bit unpredictable. I thought I knew what fueled him — to win at all costs.

Nate: Mm. You definitely understand that.

Victoria: Well, so do you. I mean, we’re both very ambitious, but it feels like tucker’s taking a different path.

Nate: Hmm. So, what do we think has changed?

Victoria: I don’t know. I’m not sure, but something is definitely different. Maybe after everything he’s been through, maybe he’s getting a little soft.

Nate: Is that what age and life experience do to you?

Victoria: Mm. Well, not to me, but for tucker, maybe. Or maybe he really does want to bridge the gap between him and devon. He has a grandchild now. And apparently he has a woman that he can’t get off his mind.

Nate: You’re talking about ashley, who bought up his debt.

Victoria: You know, he has been pursuing her since he came back to town. Ashley — she bought up all of his debt, yes, maybe to keep him engaged, maybe to keep him under her control.

[ Sighs ] Are they mixing what happens in the boardroom with the bedroom? I have no idea. At least, not yet. But regardless, buying up all of that debt was a very smart move on ashley’s part. It was very powerful. Something that I might have done. So, if the goal is to get tucker to sell his company to us, then we have to figure out why ashley did what she did. What does she want?

Nate: Control.

Victoria: Yes, that’s a very powerful motivator. Most people crave that.

Nate: Some more than others.Just me honest about it.

Nate: Okay, um, let’s try to connect the dots. Ashley is in a position to make demands of tucker. You think tucker offered to sell his company to devon. Is it logical that she’d use her leverage to force him into it?

Victoria: Logical? No. No. Why would ashley care about tucker’s company or who he sells it to? Why would she work so hard to try to repair the relationship between devon and tucker? No. It’s occam’s razor. The simplest answer is usually the most likely. They’re two very dynamic and powerful people with a passion for business and for each other.

Nate: She’s testing him to see how far he would go for her.

Victoria: Yeah.

Nate: It’s a game.

Victoria: Exactly. It’s a game, one that most men, I think, enjoy playing. We’re not talking about ashley and tucker anymore, are we?

Nate: We’re talking about us.

Victoria: Yeah, that’s right. We are. Nate, we should just stop dancing around this. What is going on between the two of us?

Kyle: Look, I… I-I’m not crazy. This engagement is impulsive, right?

Summer: Buying a pack of gum at the register — that is impulsive.

This is madness.

[ Exhales sharply ] We have thought about this being a possibility before.

Kyle: Yeah, but now it’s real.

Summer: It’s a little too real. I don’t know if I should tell you what I’m actually thinking right now.

Kyle: Please do.

Summer: Kyle, I’m wondering if this was diane’s plan all along.

Kyle: You know how diabolical she would have to be to come to town to try to marry my dad?

Summer: Maybe it was an unconscious thing. But then again, she did lure jack to L.A. Using mysterious texts and inserted herself in his life in underhanded ways. And, honestly, what about her has been on the up-and-up? It’s been secret after secret. And if you tally it all up —

Kyle: No, no, no, people aren’t equations. Most of the time, they’re a bundle of messy emotions. You and I are examples of that.

Summer: I’m not disagreeing with you there. I am just worried that you and jack are turning a blind eye to something.

Kyle: And I’m worried you’re never gonna be able to let go of your suspicions and give my mother a chance.

Summer: Are you serious right now, kyle? I have given your mom so many chances. But, no, I’m not gonna ignore that they are rushing into this, and it’s a red flag. Come on. You can’t actually think that them getting married right now is a good idea. We both know that things are moving way too fast.

Nick: I mean, you barely let me get a word out before you had my clothes off.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: Are you complaining?

Nick: No. No way.

Sally: I should hope not.

Nick: No, it was [Chuckles] Amazing. Um…it just seemed a little urgent. Again, not complaining. I just was wondering if there was something behind it.

Sally: Well, I thought you liked my urgency and spontaneity.

Nick: I do so much. Don’t stop.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: I guess I’m talking more about the look that was in your eye when I first got here.

Sally: What do you think you saw?

Nick: [ Stammers ] I don’t know, uh…like maybe you were trying to lose yourself in the sex or something. Is… is there something going on i should know?

Sally: [ Sighs ]

[ Inhales sharply ] Ohh. You’re right. There is something. She found it.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Yes. Something has been bothering me.

Nick: Tell me.

Sally: It’s summer.

Nick: I’m so sorry that you have to deal with that. I’m gonna talk to her again and just make sure she fully gets it. That you and I are good together.

Sally: No, look, that’s just it. The last time we ran into each other, I was ready for a whole nother round of name-calling and accusations. But she told me that you had talked to her, so I don’t know if that had an effect on her, but for summer, she was very muted. Like more than muted. Like she actually really wanted to try and make peace.

Nick: Hmm. I don’t see the problem.

Sally: It was just strange the way the whole conversation went. Like she started off as a concerned daughter, which I get, and then a concerned friend to me. And I would not say that we’re friends, but then the whole conversation veered into talking about adam, like how adam and I were so happy when we were together and this bond that we share. And now that we’re having this baby, it’s like we’re meant to be.

Nick: Well, obviously, i don’t agree with that. Did it bother you because maybe you were thinking you and adam were a better match than you and me are?

Sally: Of course not. Look, we don’t — we don’t have to get into all that again.

Nick: Well, you’re the one that brought it up. I just think that summer’s words are hitting you on a level you haven’t acknowledged yet. Are you still feeling conflicted?

Kyle: I want my mom and dad to be happy. I see how much they love each other and it makes me remember when I was a kid, that was all I wanted — to see them happy and together.

Summer: But you’re an adult now.

Kyle: But seeing them this happy, it makes me worried. My dad has put his whole heart and soul into this, and it’s clear how much they love each other. But is getting married the right thing for them? It’s happening so fast, and there’s so many reasons why they’re not on the road to happily ever after.

Summer: Starting with jeremy stark.

Kyle: Even if he didn’t exist and he wasn’t on his way to europe to track them down, it sounded like my dad wanted to ignore reality. It’s like he’s setting himself up to be hurt again.

Jack: Excuse me. You said you were surprised we were back in town. Why?

Phyllis: I don’t know what you’re getting at. I mean, I knew you were going out of town. You were going to be gone for a while, but then you came back, and here you are. I mean, I guess that makes sense.

Jack: What do you mean? Makes sense how?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, summer and kyle must have told you that jeremy stark was flying to paris to find you.

Diane: How did you know that?

Lauren: Yeah, what is all this about?

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] I was the one who told him. Dry skin is sensitive skin, too.

Victoria: I’m gonna get a room upstairs. I’d really like for you to join me. I won’t be insulted or take it personally if you choose not to. But this has nothing to do with your job or our professional relationship. One has nothing to do with the other. Either way, that’s up to you.

Sally: It’s just that summer was really friendly after that, like she was, like, putting on airs and I just… I just wasn’t buying it.

Nick: Well, it sounds to me like she was trying, but the animosity is still there. I mean, you two had quite the history.

Sally: Yeah, I’m sure she believes I deserve a head game or two after what I did to her.

Nick: You know what? My daughter may be trying to pull one over you, but I don’t want that for you. I don’t like the effect it’s having. I just want you to exist in this bubble of peace and harmony.

Sally: I’m gonna tell you the truth, okay? There is no bubble of peace and harmony.

Nick: What?

Sally: Yeah.

Nick: Oh, man. Okay. You know, regardless of my daughter’s motives, are you feeling any new conflict where adam is concerned?

Sally: No, I’m not.

Nick: Are you sure?

Sally: I just have been having these stupid thoughts, like these anxiety dreams of what the future might hold and what it might look like for me and all the grief and negativity that might be coming my way as we move forward.

Nick: Well, it’s not gonna be easy. But we’re gonna get through it.

Sally: Yeah. I just seriously wonder if I’m gonna be able to handle the onslaught that’s about to come from your family.

Summer: You’re worried that diane could break your dad’s heart?

Kyle: And that they’re in danger and she may have to leave again. There are so many unknowns, including the looming threat they want to ignore. Do they think that he’s just going to go away on his own?

Summer: Getting engaged is definitely not gonna get rid of jeremy stark.

Kyle: And if it’s so right, why are they keeping it from people?

Summer: Well, we know why. Because they know how problematic it is and that no one is gonna welcome this news.

Kyle: No one.

Summer: Oh, my gosh. Oh, just wait until my mom hears about this. It is not gonna be pretty.

Phyllis: Oh, gosh, I’m embarrassed to admit this. Here it goes. Jeremy stark came to me and asked me to be part of his scheme to get to you.

Diane: It’s not surprising.

Phyllis: Well, I told him i wanted nothing to do with it.

Diane: You know, phyllis, there’s something about this

Phyllis: You know what? Jeremy stark scares me. He is a very, very dangerous guy. I mean, I saw in him right away what you eventually came to see. But I don’t want him in any of our lives.

Diane: Maybe you should have thought of that before you called him to begin with.

Phyllis: You know what, you are right. My fight with you cost me so much, diane. It cost me my relationship with my kids. And I’m working very, very hard to fix that and make amends. And that’s why I went to summer and kyle and told them that jeremy was on his way to europe to find you. So… hey, enough of me. Enough of me. Go enjoy your dinner. Go, go, go, go. Enjoy.

Jack: Yeah.

Phyllis: What?

Lauren: That was quite a performance.

Phyllis: What are you talking about?

Lauren: What the hell are you up to?

Phyllis: I’m not up to anything. Really. See, I wish for diane and jack nothing but happiness.
