THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Uh, don’t take this the wrong way, but what the hell are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be on bed rest?

Yeah, I can’t watch TV and sleep all day, I’ll go crazy. Not to mention, I need to know how The hell Clyde Wesson escaped from prison?

Okay, there was a toxic spill in one of the cell blocks. And so when all the inmates had to be evacuated to the yard, when the prison guard took a head count, Clyde was MIA.

So he’s on the run. And we have no idea where the hell he is.

What were you thinking, breaking out of the halfway house like that? And then breaking into the DiMera mansion. I mean, aren’t things bad enough already?

I had to talk to Holly. I had to try to clean up this mess.

Well, this is an even bigger mess now, isn’t it? And then stealing my phone.

I’m sorry, I was desperate.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s obvious, Tate. But I don’t think you’ve understood how you’ve screwed up here. You’ve not only violated a legal mandate, you could go back to jail!

Okay! Okay, I get it.

Your new lawyer’s gonna have to work some real magic to stop that from happening.

Look, I get that you guys are angry, but don’t you get that I was going out of my mind stuck in that halfway house? I had to see what Holly remembers!

Your mom and dad being mad at you is the least of your concerns. We are worried. I’m not gonna sugarcoat this for you. What you did last night was a really bad move.

I’m sorry.

Good morning. Can we come in?

Well, um, you slept in, that’s good.

Hardly slept at all, actually.

Well, you’ve had a lot on your mind.

Holly, we need to talk about last night. about Tate breaking in.

He didn’t break in, okay?

Coming onto our property and climbing into your bedroom window in the middle of the night without anyone’s permission is the very definition of breaking in.

Look, this whole thing is a huge misunderstanding. Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong. You didn’t have to have him arrested.

Would you just have me look the other way? Holly, I did what I had to do. For your safety and the safety of this family.

I’m safe. We’re all safe. EJ, please. This is ridiculous. You can’t send Tate to jail.

Alrighty. There you go.

Thanks.

I, uh, I hope I didn’t alarm you coming up to the pub like that.

By the look on your face, I think I should be alarmed. What’s going on? What do you have to tell me about John?

It’s about his past. As the pawn.

Wait, What I did to you You gotta be kidding me because you’ve been messing with me ever since that night in the park over a month ago,

ah, yes But our history did not begin one month ago You see many years ago You tore my life apart Here, look at this.

Am I supposed to know who this is because I don’t?

You don’t remember her? I find that very perplexing.

I know. Why is that?

Because you are the one who killed her.

Okay, uh, Goldman, any signs of her?

I don’t have good news on that front either. Uh, we found out that she cleaned out her bank account, about 50 grand, and so there’s no likelihood of tracking her down via credit card spending either. And we found her car, it was abandoned on the outskirts of town.

Okay, any, uh, clues in her vehicle?

Nothing. She probably swapped out her car with another one.

Yeah, or she hopped on a bus or a train.

Yeah, we’re looking into all of that right now.

Yeah, but Clyde Weston, I can’t. There’s, he had to have set this up. Goldman could not have pulled this off on her own.

I agree. I have a bolo out nationwide and border patrol on both of them.

I, I think he’s gonna stay local.

Why do you think that?

I don’t know. I just think Clyde will stay in this area to keep his eyes on his business and his people.

Yeah, well, that’s another loose end as well. Aside from Goldman, we don’t know who else was helping him.

Right. Um, thanks for the update. I gotta get going.

All right, well, get some rest.

I don’t think so.

Holly, Tate broke the law. When you break the law, there are consequences.

Honey, honey, don’t you think you’re overreacting? Just Yes, sure. Tate shouldn’t have left the center, okay? But he just wanted to talk to Holly, for God’s sake. They’re just teenagers.

Teenagers are still accountable.

Yes, but they make mistakes. They act impulsively. I mean, it’s nothing compared to what I did when I was her age. Sure, you as well.

Our childhoods have no bearing on this situation at all, Nicole.

God, you act like Tate is Loki or someone.

What?

You don’t know him at all.

I do know that he was brought to Salem after being kicked out of boarding school for vandalism, causing five figures in damages.

That was a dumb mistake. A stupid prank, but he’s not a drug dealer and I know he didn’t drug me.

Honey, how do you know that if you don’t remember anything from that night?

I know! Because Tate would never do anything like that, Mom. EJ, please, don’t send him to jail. Please.

I’ll consider the options, but I’m not making any promises.

What do I not know? About my husband.

About his past.

Tell me!

Well, as you know, I was one of the first people to encounter John when he came to Salem. Under Victor’s orders, John was in my care. He was the pawn, and I was his handler. Until he went on the run and became John Blair.

I’m aware of how he got his name. Go on.

Well, we both know the kind of guy I was back then. I still have a lot of shame knowing that I carried out Victor’s orders. Did those unethical things. He demanded of me. For money. So one day, Victor had a mission for us. For me and the pawn.

Let me tell you a story. Our story. About me and Victor Kiriakis. And the others were Steve Patch Johnson. And my beautiful, innocent daughter, Katarina. And finally you, the pawn.

What would you do? Dad? Mom? If you were stuck in some rehab facility, and Holly’s the only person that can get you out of that place. So yeah, I went to go see her. Alright. And all she had to do was tell her stupid stepfather that I had nothing to do with those drugs. And then I could have come home. I just want to come home.

Tate, we all want you to come home, but My God, you are doing so well!

Oh my God! What does that even mean? I was doing so well. Why do you keep saying stuff like that? Like, like I belong in that horrible place and like it’s actually helping me. Which it is not. It’s just painful because I don’t need that kind of help. I, I pulled a stupid prank at school in California. I admit it. But that’s it. All this crap about drugs in Salem, I didn’t do any of it. No. I’m being railroaded for a crime I did

DiMera mansion, son? Holly could have given me permission.

Did she?

Do you not understand what’s happening here? All of this snowballing into even a bigger mess.

We all want the truth, okay? We want Holly to tell the truth. But breaking the law is not the way to get it.

Why does EJ have to make such a big deal about this?

Well, I agree. He is Being a little overzealous about this whole Tate business. So I will talk to him about not sending Tate to jail

Okay, you have to mom.

Okay

She should just stay out of it Well, I mean it is his house that Tate broke into

it’s our house too mom

You’re right, but honey EJ cares about you and he’s just looking out for you

Yeah, well, he’s not my father. And if he really cares about me, he’d back off on trying to punish Tate. Because he’s a good person, Mom. Tate’s not who EJ’s making him out to be. He’s always been so nice to me, and he was really nice on New Year’s Eve. I swear. We were having a good time. That I do remember. And What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Well, I’m, I’m just wondering if you’re covering for him. So that he doesn’t get in any more trouble.

Oh my god.

Well, honey, you said he didn’t drug you. That night. And, I mean, did you just say that to get EJ off your back? Honey, look. It’s just me. You can be honest. Do you remember more about that night than you’re telling me?

Ah, Harold told me you were here.

Mr. DiMera?

Sorry to keep you waiting. I was on the phone with my officer. What brings you by, detective?

Your brother, Stefan, you know where he is?

I have no idea. I haven’t seen him in a while. Days now, in fact.

Really?

I don’t keep tabs on my family members, detective. Though I’m sure I’ll cross paths with Stefan eventually, though it is a big house. He could be in another wing, for all I know.

Hmm, yeah. Well that’s, uh, that’s quite the coincidence. I just came from the station and was just briefed on Clyde Weston’s prison break and escape, and, uh, you know, he’s fallen off the map.

Yes, I heard about it. It’s infuriating.

And now I’m here looking for your brother, and he’s disappeared too.

What exactly are you insinuating, detective?

I don’t know. I just have a hunch that Stefan had something to do with Clyde busting out of prison. And I think you know something about it.

This is part of my past. I’d just as soon forget. Now I’m, I’m being forced to confront it. Victor sent me and John to deliver a message. It was John’s first assignment as the pawn. The message was to a man who was challenging Victor’s authority.

Victor and I were always fighting over territory in the Greek crime business. He sent his pawn over to deliver me a message.

No.

Oh yes, it was you.

The message was loud and clear. Make sure this man knows that his interference will no longer be tolerated.

So John and I, Flew by private jet to Nafplion. And then rode east into Aria, a small village. We were there to find the man we know today to be Konstantin Melionis.

I told you, I don’t know what happened on New Year’s Eve, but I know in my heart Tate didn’t drug me. How many times do I have to say it?

Hey, honey, honey. I hear you loud and clear.

So you’ll talk to EJ?

I said I would.

Do you think he’ll change his mind?

Oh, I don’t know, but I will do my best, okay? So, are you hungry? Can I bring you something? Maybe grilled cheese? Okay, you got it. Oh, and uh, your school teachers sent some homework for you that I’ll bring after lunch. And maybe, if you’re up for it, we could look at some colleges online together?

Okay. College, college, I love you.

Thank you. I love you. I love you.

Fine. I’m a screw up. Are you happy? I admit it.

No, Tate, you are not a screw up.

No? Let’s see. First, I get kicked out of school, and then I get sent to jail for drug pushing.

You’re not a drug pusher.

No, but the world thinks that I am. My biggest mistake was not calling 9 1 1 as soon as I found Holly. Or even telling that cop the honest truth when she started shining that blinding flashlight in my face.

Dad, I know. All of this is very confusing. I get it. There’s nothing confusing about it, Dad. I’m just angry and scared. My life is over.

Buddy, don’t say that.

No, but it is. You just said that. You did. You said I screwed up my whole future. You think I’m a loser just like everyone else.

No, you are not a loser.

We don’t think you’re a loser. We just think that you made a mistake.

But if you make a mistake over and over and over again, doesn’t it make you a loser?

No. Son, it makes you human.

Oh my, I, I, I didn’t realize one could develop brain damage after being shot in the chest.

You’re out of your mind.

So you know nothing about Clyde Weston’s escape?

Let me remind you, Detective Harris, that I am the district attorney. Not only do I have zero knowledge of anything involving Clyde Weston, I have no idea where my brother Stefan is, as I already told you.

You’re lying.

Oh, for God’s sake. We already talked about the possibility of Stefan and Bean in cahoots with Clyde. And I told you I would throw the book at him if that turned out to be the case.

Yes, but I got a feeling that you weren’t completely transparent that day.

And I have a feeling that it is raining coconuts. Oh, whoops. Looks like we’re both wrong. Now I strongly advise you to spend your time out there going after an escaped felon rather than in here, in my home, harassing me. And when I see my brother,

or finally produce your brother,

The door’s this way.

I know Stefan’s working with Clyde.

And how the hell do you know that?

Because Stefan is the one who shot me.

Konstantin, isn’t that the name of the man who’s staying at Maggie’s house?

That’s right.

Well, I thought that he was a long time friend of Victor’s.

More like long time rival. That’s why John and I know that he’s been conning Maggie and why we’ve been trying to get him to leave town.

So you went to his house to persuade him?

Yes. And Victor called and instructed me to wait outside and watch for guards and such. Well, John confronted Konstantin.

I was sitting at my workbench carving a little wooden figurine for my Katerina when all of a sudden the door burst open and you came in. I thought that Victor would send someone. I tried to defend myself, and we struggled, and I never saw your face. Just your eyes, only your eyes that still haunt me to this very moment. Yes, you beat me and beat me. We struggled. You got the best of me. You beat me over and over until I lost consciousness. Then I heard a gunshot.

I knew the pawn wasn’t supposed to kill Konstantin. So I rushed inside to see what happened. It was hard to see at first. But then, I saw John off to the side. In a trance. He’s holding the gun.

Oh, dear God.

And I, I spotted Konstantin on the floor. Face down. Unconscious. But he was still breathing. Then I saw, a young girl lying next to him. Blood had pooled underneath her. I checked for a pulse. But she was gone.

When I woke up, you were gone. The door was open, my home was a wreck. When I finally could focus, I saw my daughter. My only child, my Katerina, on the floor, shot by you.

I’m back. I brought you chips with your grilled cheese. Polly, honey?

You can’t be serious.

We’ve charged Xander Cook with your shooting. The evidence is stacked against him.

Of course it is, because Clyde and your brother framed him, and I’m starting to think you’re in on this too.

Oh! Hey, what’s going on here?

Oh, we’re just talking shop. Is there anything you need, sweetheart?

No, not really. I was just looking for Holly.

Wasn’t she upstairs with you?

Well, she was, and I came down here to make her some lunch, and when I went back up, she was gone.

She’s probably just feeling cooped up. Check the, uh, check the grounds.

Uh, the garden. In fact, why don’t I come and help you?

No, gosh, that’s, that’s okay. I’ll find her. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. I’m sure she’s here somewhere. It’s nice to see you, Harris.

Well, detective, as soon as I see my brother, I promise you’ll be the first to know. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go find my stepdaughter.

Yeah, we’re not done here.

Hi. Can you help me?

Oh, Holly Jonas. Wow, it’s nice to see that you’re doing better and you’re up and about.

Thanks. Um, I need to speak with Tate Black.

Well, I’m sorry, but that’s not going to happen.

Why not?

Well, for one, he’s in interrogation with his parents right now. And for another, he is in police custody and may be charged with another felony.

So, he’s in there?

We can’t allow you to see him, Holly. He violated the terms of his release. And he broke into your house last night. But he And I also have a feeling that your mom does not know you’re here. So, why don’t you have a seat and I’ll give her a call.

Are you telling me that John killed that girl?

I didn’t see it happen. I mean, it wasn’t hard to piece together though. Marlena, John was the pawn at that time. I mean, he, he, he wasn’t even, he wasn’t considered human. He was, he was more like a tool, a weapon. An assassin.

Yeah. Look, I know that John went to Winterbourne Academy when he was younger. I know that he trained there.

Yes. Which made it very appealing to anybody. Evil bastard at the time to recruit him.

But do you think that John meant to kill that girl? It could have been an accident.

I mean, John’s brain had been scrambled, reprogrammed. I don’t know, maybe he, maybe he felt threatened in some way. Maybe he snapped. I don’t know. All I knew at that moment was, the mission was complete. Message sent. And this poor young girl was dead. So I grabbed John, took off for Salem.

I held my daughter’s lifeless body in my hands, telling her of the memories of her child stories. The memories that we made are trips we took together. She was the only thing in this world that mattered to me. The only reason I had for living. And after her funeral, I, I developed another reason to go. I brought it in plant. To undermine Victor, every chance I got. And I swore to myself that if I ever found a man who killed my daughter, that I would make, make him pay. And now, after all these years, I have finally found. You.

I thought this whole thing was behind us. But then John and I confronted Konstantin about his intentions with Maggie. Turns out to be the same man from Aria.

John’s face was covered when that girl was killed. How could Konstantin know?

He said it was his eyes.

Steve, I was John’s doctor. I was trying to help him find his identity. Why am I just hearing about this?

In trying to keep this secret from John, I just didn’t think I could tell you either. I’m sorry.

Does Kayla know?

No.

How have you been living with us all this time?

It’s a terrible memory. I kept it buried. And as you know, there were times in my life when I didn’t know who I was either. When the DiMeras had wiped my memories from me. Now, how I wish I didn’t. This whole thing had stayed in the past. I wish I could have protected my friend from the knowledge of what he did.
But then Konstantin showed up in Salem, and one of the times that John and I confronted him about Maggie, he mentioned his hometown of Aria. And it all unraveled from there.

Yes, yes, yes, John! Now do you remember?

I don’t remember! I don’t, I don’t, I don’t. But damn it, I have always had this feeling in my gut.

I hope that feeling eats you alive! And as for me, I will not rest until I get my revenge. You know, you should have killed me that day, huh? But instead you chose to murder my daughter in cold blood and for that Make no mistake. I will make you pay

So now you’re detaining me in my own home Damn it, Michaels, I could make one call and have you fired.

The secretary cannot fire a detective, only the police commissioner can. Just tell me where Stefan is and I’ll go.

Oh, for the hundredth time, I don’t know. And if I did, I’d haul his ass down here because talking to you is a colossal waste of time. Face facts, Xander Cook shot you, not my brother.

Stefan shot me, he pulled the trigger.

And what proof do you have of that? There was an eyewitness at the crime.

That would be me. I saw Stefan shoot me.

I’m not a little kid, you know.

You’re a minor.

So that means I’m allowed no voice?

Not one that loud.

Listen, Tate wasn’t doing anything wrong when he came to see me last night. He didn’t break in. I let him in. Me. I did.

Okay, settle down.

I’m telling you the truth. Why won’t you just listen to me?

Holly. She’s, she’s here to see me.

Oh, my God, there you are. Honey, what were you thinking? I’ve been worried sick.

That’s it, that girl’s done enough. I’m gonna go talk to her right now.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Nicole’s here.

I came to see Tate. I need to talk to him.

Honey, now is not the time.

Well, when is the time, Mom? When it’s too late?

You haven’t even been medically cleared to leave the house yet.

Oh, God.

Jada, thank you for calling.

Honey, we are going home. Now. I will send for someone to pick up your car later.

Thanks again, Jada.

Oh, you pulled that out of your ass. How can you prove you saw Stefan and not Xander?

Once I find your brother, you’re gonna have the proof.

You have nothing. This is a ridiculous theory.

Oh, I have my word. And that means something. I’m a detective and a Navy SEAL.

Whose brain has been scrambled so many times it could be served up with toast.

I will find Stefan. And when I do, I’m gonna take down every dirty bastard That’s involved in this mess.

That was not a good move on Holly’s part.

No, but I wish to hell that I had a chance to talk to her face to face.

Hey.

Hey. So, I have news from the DA’s office. EJ has decided not to press charges.

Thank God.

Okay, okay. So, he can go back to the halfway house.

Yes, he can, but he will be required to wear an ankle monitor to track his whereabouts.

So you can’t skip out again, Tate.

He won’t. He won’t.

And he’s not going to be there much longer.

And, uh, when Holly’s feeling better, maybe she can come visit me?

I wouldn’t count on it. The DA has also filed for a restraining order. You are not allowed within 100 yards of the DiMera mansion, Or Holly Jonas.

You chose to murder my daughter in cold blood!

John has always been afraid that he’d done unthinkable things in the past.

The man who went to Aria with me was not John, Marlena. The man we know today would never do something like that.

I know that. But you know as well as I do, that the truth would destroy him.

You knew?

John. My God.

You never said a word to me. But you told my wife.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Claire: Victor went to make business calls after everything he went through last night?

Victoria: It’s the way he is.

Claire: Will he rest?

Victoria: Yeah, of course, when he’s ready. But no one can ever force him to do what he doesn’t wanna do.

Claire: He really is fearless, isn’t he? It’s not just for show. I mean, the way that he faced down jordan last night, and her gun, in that dark alley, and then offered himself up as her hostage?

Victoria: God only knows what she would have done to him if nick hadn’t shown up and tazed her.

Claire: Well, at least she’s locked in that dungeon that she meant for your father.

Victoria: It’s poetic justice in a way, don’t you think?

Claire: It is. I just– I don’t really know how to feel about him. Obviously, I’m relieved that he’s okay.

Victoria: But?

Claire: But I know I shouldn’t care and I don’t understand why I do. But victor wouldn’t leave her locked up in that basement indefinitely. I mean, it’s just until he can contact the authorities and they’ll take her into custody, right?

Kyle: Thanks for coming. It was nice to meet you. We’ll be in touch. Well, I guess we can cross nanny contender number five off our list.

Summer: Honestly, I feel really bad for her. She was nice. She was well-qualified. Lovely with harrison.

Kyle: Even when he just sat there pouting and scowling at her.

Summer: When he bothered looking at her at all. I wish we knew when linda was gonna come back. She and harrison are such great buddies.

Kyle: Yeah, from what she’d said about her mother’s surgery, it doesn’t sound like we can expect her back anytime soon.

Summer: So, what do we do? Just keep having the agency send us potential new nannies for harrison to be grumpy about? I mean, we both know what the actual problem is, since he keeps on saying the same thing after every interview.

Kyle: Why can’t mommy just come home?

Sally: Wow. Did I just tell you to fight harder for what you have? That was really presumptuous of me. I have a tendency to blurt. Sorry.

Audra: No, no, no. No, it’s okay. Don’t be. It looks like you’ve done your share of fighting for relationships in your life. You know, and I appreciate your strong take on how I should handle this mess that I’m going through with tucker.

Sally: Well, I hope it helps. It’s just hilarious. I’m sorry that me, of all people, is actually giving relationship advice.

Audra: That means you’re no newer at this than I am. Good to know. You know, I– I’m usually pretty decisive. But now, I’ve been going back and forth between should i fight for tucker or should i walk away more times than I can count?

Sally: Yeah, been there done that, believe me. At some point, if you have like a spare month or two, I can give you the whole adam newman versus nick newman story.

Audra: I look forward to hearing that. You know, but in the meantime, fight for him might be exactly the advice I needed to hear at exactly the right time.

Sally: Well, I hope it helps. But seriously, consider yourself warned. I’m not always right.

Audra: Thanks for listening, sally.

Sally: Mm-hmm. Anytime.

Audra: That goes for you, too.

Adam: Sally spectra and audra charles alone together at the same table. Wow, this is a little, uh…

Sally: Surprising?

Adam: I was gonna say scary, but okay, surprising’s fine. I, uh, didn’t even know the two of you knew each other.

Sally: We’ve met, but we’ve never really had a conversation.

Audra: Yeah, until now. And it turns out it was long overdue.

Adam: Yeah? Why is that?

Sally: Well, you wouldn’t believe how much audra and i have in common.

Tucker: Uh, no, no.

Ashley: Oh, what?

Tucker: What am I doing here? This is not working. At dot’s an ordinary pretzel just isn’t enough.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Ashley: Well, I have to disagree. I mean, on my side of things, I think that kiss was working quite well, and I hate to tell you, but from your side of things, I think it was working quite well, too.

Tucker: I don’t know what’s going on with you.

Ashley: You want me to clarify?

Tucker: Stop. Ashley, listen, listen to me.

Ashley: What?

Tucker: Just listen to me.

Ashley: Mm-hmm?

Tucker: Uh… no matter how I look at this, it’s problematic. Um…

Ashley: It’s problematic?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: Okay. Like, in what world is any of this a downside? Like, where’s the downside to this? Tell me.

Tucker: Well, if you’re actually just setting me up for something, you can forget about that because, of course, I’m not gonna fall for it. If, however, you are going through something, if you’re dealing with something here, emotional or– or psychological.

Ashley: Oh, boy.

Tucker: I would feel remiss if I didn’t try to help you in any way I could, but you’d have to be honest with me first.

Ashley: Maybe there’s a third option.

Tucker: Which is?

Ashley: I’m being 100% sincere. I’m trying very, very hard to give you exactly what you said you’ve been wanting all along.

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Come on.

Tucker: No, I’m sorry. I don’t believe you. I can’T. You’re either lying to me or you’re lying to yourself.

Ashley: I’m not lying to myself.

Tucker: Yes, you are. As long as it’s one or the other, I can’t help you.

Adam: You know, come to think of it, of course you two have a lot in common. I mean, two high-powered businesswomen, both of whom were fired from newman media for doing absolutely nothing to deserve it. I mean, if that is not worth bonding over, I don’t know what it is.

Sally: Do you want to hear another one?

Adam: I would love to.

Sally: Audra and I are both involved with complicated men who aren’t exactly popular or appreciated in genoa city.

Audra: Yeah, or in several other cities for that matter, but let’s not go there.

Adam: Well, I don’t think I’m comfortable being compared to tucker mccall.

Audra: I wasn’t trying to insult you, adam. Okay, I’m just saying that the two of you are… complicated.

Adam: Okay, well, I can’t argue with that. But after going head-to-head with tucker mccall, I still think we’re very different animals.

Audra: Yeah, very.

Sally: Okay, excuse me. Audra and I were kind of in the middle of bonding, so…

Adam: You know what? You’re right. I don’t have any business interfering, so just forget what I said.

Sally: Consider it forgotten.

Audra: Uh, you know what? I have to head back to the athletic club. Adam.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Audra: Thank you so much, um, for your advice. I’ll definitely consider it.

Sally: Keep me posted.

Audra: Yeah, you’ll be the first to hear.

Adam: So, what was the advice about?

Kyle: What’s the chance that harrison’s playing us?

Summer: I was just thinking the same thing.

Kyle: He probably thinks that if he rejects every candidate for the nanny position, he’ll force the issue, and then mommy has to come home, right?

Summer: I’ll bet that is his plan. I swear, he is as smart and as stubborn as his father. And, you know, I get it. I– I miss him, too. But we can’t let him take control over the situation, either.

Kyle: No, without a doubt. I mean, this is hardly the first time that he’s made it clear he wants his mommy to come home. He talks about it all the time.

Summer: What do you tell him?

Kyle: Well, I reassure him that just because his parents aren’t together and his mother has a new place to live, that she’ll always love him and be there for him.

Summer: Thanks for that. And it’s true on both counts.

Kyle: Unfortunately, that doesn’t satisfy him. So, I have to remind him that even if his mother were to move home, she still has a very successful and busy career, just like daddy does. And that he needs someone to pick him up after school and be here for him while we’re working.

Summer: Well, I mean, we both know that my moving back here is not an option. And harrison’s clearly going to be very resistant to any potential nannies that we introduce him to.

Kyle: Yeah, if I remember correctly, though, it took him some time to warm up to linda.

Summer: Right, because she was wearing boring socks.

Kyle: But now he loves her. Okay, that brings us back to our original bottom line. We can’t let him manipulate us. We have to make it clear to him that this is our choice and not his.

Summer: The choice should be relatively easy ’cause we’ve met some great candidates already, but we’ve gotta remember that harrison is the one that’s gonna be spending the most time with them, so… let’s at least give him a vote.

Kyle: Okay, fair enough. But as long as we make it clear to him that not liking someone because they have boring socks is not an option.

Harrison: Mom! Schwarzkopf

Summer: Hey, what happened, sweetie?

Kyle: Yeah, did you have a bad dream?

Summer: Is that right? You had a bad dream?

Kyle: What was it about?

Harrison: A lady I didn’t know came and took me away.

Summer: That sounds really scary. But hey, look, it was just a bad dream. It wasn’t real. You’re safe. You always will be, okay?

Kyle: We’d never let anyone come in here and take you away from us. You know that, right?

Summer: Hey, is this ’cause linda’s out of town and we’ve got to find you a new sitter?

Kyle: Harrison, I know it’s hard, but we need someone to pick you up after school and take you to all the fun lessons and things you like to do.

Summer: And we promise we’re gonna find somebody really nice, okay?

Harrison: If you can’t stay, I want the older linda or no one.

Kyle: Um… hey, I know something that’ll make all this better. Three things. Number one, we don’t talk about anymore linda’s the rest of the day.

Summer: You know what? I told your dad and I’m gonna tell you, you two are just as stubborn as each other. What’s number two.

Kyle: Number two is we go check out the bookstore. I hear they have a new… uh, what’s it called?

Summer: The one with the kid that, uh, time jumps. I cannot wait to read that with you.

Kyle: Yes, and number three, we head from there to crimson lights to get some hot chocolate with extra marshmallows.

Summer: Yeah, well, it’s gotta be marshmallows, right, harrison?

Kyle: Of course. What’s the point of hot chocolate without marshmallows, right? Yeah, mm-hmm. For all three of us.

Summer: Yeah, all three of us.

Victoria: Dad is– he’s tough. He’s not cruel. He knows what he’s doing. He wouldn’t leave her or anyone else to rot in some godforsaken basement.

Claire: Even if he thought they deserved it?

Victoria: Even then.

Claire: He really would do anything for you all, wouldn’t he?

Victoria: My father would do anything to protect his family, which now includes you, his granddaughter.

Claire: Nikki and victor newman’s granddaughter. That’s me. It’s who I am. I have parents and aunts and uncles and cousins. And jordan’s not out there creeping around anymore. Are we really all safe finally?

Victoria: We really are. There’s nothing that jordan can do to hurt anyone. You know, we were all so scared for such a long time, but now it’s over. It’s over. It’s kind of unbelievable, isn’t it?

Claire: You mean we… can come and go as we please and we don’t have to look over our shoulders every second? And we don’t have to run for cover every time we hear a strange noise in the house?

Victoria: Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.

Claire: So could we…

Victoria: Could we…

Claire: Go somewhere? It doesn’t have to be anywhere fancy. It’s just… I was at the jail and then the hospital and now here not being able to go anywhere. It’s just– the thought of going out into the world around people out from under this dark cloud. It’s been a long time. My whole life, really.

Victoria: Yes.

Claire: Seriously? You think it’s a good idea?

Victoria: I think it’s a great idea.

Sally: That was a nice surprise. I might have just found a new friend. And let’s face it, I do not have many of those.

Adam: Sally. Proceed with caution.

Sally: You do realize who you’re talking to, right? If I knew the first thing about proceeding with caution…

Adam: You and I, we would not be together. Okay, point taken. All right, well, let me be more specific. Proceed with caution where audra charles is concerned.

Sally: Why would you say that? I like her.

Adam: She’s probably not my biggest fan. After all, I’m the one that passed along the incriminating emails that the abbotts used to tank tucker and she could have easily ended up collateral damage.

Sally: Okay, but what does that have to do with my being friends with her?

Adam: Because she might have an agenda.

Sally: Or… we might just get each other.

Adam: Will you please just be careful about sharing information that she might be probing for? It’s pretty safe to say that anything she hears about me from you is gonna get straight back to tucker.

Sally: Okay. But don’t sell her short. I mean, she’s pretty savvy. You know, I’m sure that she can recognize a well-played business move when she sees one and she might even respect you sharing emails with the abbotts when they thought that tucker was plotting to take over jabot. And honestly, I did not get the sense that she was seeking any kind of payback.

Adam: Okay, well then what was the advice that she thanked you for on the way out?

Sally: It was personal. It was about a relationship issue that she’s been dealing with that had absolutely nothing to do with you, surprising as that may be.

Adam: Okay, well now that we’ve straightened that out, how about we change the subject? Because I actually, I tracked you down for a reason.

Sally: Is… is it about your dad?

Adam: Uh, no. Actually, I’m happy to report he’s home. I mean, he’s exhausted, but he’s safe and sound.

Sally: Adam, that’s great. I know that you’ve been really worried about him.

Adam: Yes, I have been. And it’s a relief that I don’t have to worry about that anymore. I mean, until something else comes up with him.

Sally: Okay, and connor? Any updates?

Adam: So, chelsea and I, we have another session with dr. Alcott today. And I wanted to let you know before I leave.

Sally: Well, look, I know it’s a lot, but… I mean, hopefully that means progress. You know, maybe it will alleviate some of your concerns.

Adam: Mm-hmm. Well, it might add to them. I gotta say, chelsea and I feel pretty helpless. And connor’s very confused.

Sally: You’re doing all the right things, adam. You did not have the help you needed as a kid, and it changed your whole life. You are being the best parent that you can be.

Tucker: Ah, let’s go bourbon. Neat. Double.

Ashley: Oh, god, it’s you again. Why don’t you just give up? You don’t have a chance. I’ve got him right where I want him.

Tucker: What did she say to you just now?

Audra: That she has you right where she wants you. What the hell would make her think that, tucker?

Tucker: She kissed me again and… she thinks it meant something. I would’ve called yesterday.

Tucker: Whatever is going on with ashley, it is not good.

Audra: Tell me the truth. Did you return the kiss?

Tucker: No, I pulled back and said, “not happening.” And it’s not.

Audra: You sure about that?

Tucker: Audra, can we not– let’s not have this conversation right now, please.

Audra: I think we need to.

Tucker: I don’t think we need to. I think we’ve talked about ashley more times than I care to count. Everything that woman does just feeds your suspicions.

Audra: Because everything she does is suspicious, tucker. What– what do you expect me to do?

Tucker: Ignore her.

Audra: Yeah, just the same way you’re ignoring her? You know, I walked through the door and there she is, in my face.

Tucker: Yeah, I’m sorry. And I wanted to say I’m sorry about earlier. And you’re sweet, I– I didn’t mean all that. And I shouldn’t have just stormed out. I apologize.

Audra: You know, if we were on a jet to paris right now, she would be the furthest thing from my mind. But instead, we are here and i am getting blindsided by your ex-wife looking rather pleased with herself. You know, can I ask you something else?

Tucker: Mm-hmm?

Audra: What did she say to you before that damn kiss?

Tucker: She said… now, you see, that’s what I’m talking about. It doesn’t make any difference what she said. In her state, it doesn’t matter what she says or does. It means nothing. And I’m trying so hard right now to let all this go. Audra, I really am. Can you?

Audra: I will if she will. But when your ex-wife tells me I don’t stand a chance and that she has you right where she wants you, I don’t know how the hell I’m supposed to react. I don’t know what I’m supposed to think.

Tucker: Just think of the bigger picture here. I think she’s suffering some kind of severe psychological break. She is not herself. She needs help.

Adam: I’m not even sure there is a sure-fire solution for what connor’s going through. I mean, the more that I read about ocd, the more overwhelmed that I feel. Apparently, very few professionals even know what it is. And it can go unrecognized for years.

Sally: Well, then it is a good thing that the people at connor’s school did recognize it.

Adam: Yes, I am grateful for that. I mean, assuming that it makes a difference.

Sally: An early diagnosis can make a big difference.

Adam: God, I hope so. Ah, I gotta get going. I’m grabbing some things for connor that he asked for. Just, um, comfort stuff that he said he needed. I want to make sure to get it to him before our session to see if it eases his mood.

Sally: Okay, we’ll keep me posted. And please try and stay positive, okay? Connor is a good kid with a great dad who is so ready to do whatever it takes to help him, okay? Just keep reminding yourself of that, will you, please?

Adam: Thank you for that. And for always being right there with your support. I love so much that you’re back in my life.

Sally: You know that little exchange that we had earlier when you took off to the ranch?

Adam: Of course. But that was a rushed moment. And I mean, I was a wreck and you were trying to help me through it, so don’t worry. I will not hold you to that.

Sally: Yeah, well, I was as surprised as you were at how easily it just slipped out. But you know what? Please, hold me to it. Because it wasn’t just a momentary slip of the tongue to make you feel better in a rushed moment. I… I mean it. I do. Love you.

Adam: I do, too. Love you. Want the power of 5 serum benefits in 1?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. If you think you have dupuytren’s contracture,

Ashley: I don’t like this. This is gonna make things worse. I don’t think we should trust you. You don’t really have a choice. You have to be stopped! I– I think I do! I– I need to takeover.

Audra: Forgive my lack of compassion, but that perfectly poised, incredibly sure-of-herself woman who just verbally assaulted me over there didn’t exactly strike me as a psychological wreck.

Tucker: And your point is?

Audra: My point is that you want a reason to sympathize with her to humor her. You know, that performance she’s putting on is to reel you back in. Hello?

Tucker: And you think I’ll just be reeled back in because I’m, uh, a sucker? I have no judgment about this.

Audra: Maybe you just want to play hero or something.

Tucker: Oh, god. I couldn’t play hero in this situation even if I wanted to. She might hide it well in public, but I can read ashley like a book that I’ve memorized. She needs professional help.

Audra: You know, if you’re not qualified to diagnose her, let alone help her, what makes you so sure she needs psychological help? Based on what, some look you saw in her eyes last night?

Tucker: Yes, the look I saw in her eyes last night, the way she’s been acting, her distorted memory of what happened between us in paris. That is not the woman I fell in love with.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Tucker: Past tense, audra.

Audra: I am so stupid.

Tucker: What? What now?

Audra: I’m just thinking, what the hell is wrong with me? I– I can’t believe I allowed myself to get into this vulnerable position with you again. I– like what am I doing?

Tucker: Come here. Listen, I adore you. I want the world with you. What’s going on with ashley is a completely separate issue.

Summer: So right here.

Kyle: All right, I’m gonna put our order in.

Summer: Okay.

Victoria: So, how are you doing? Are you ready for this?

Claire: Ready as I’ll ever be. It’s really weird being back out in the world like a normal person.

Victoria: Well, that’s because you are normal. And after everything you’ve been through, I mean, you’re better than normal. If you want to go, though, we can go.

Claire: No. I’m gonna have to do this sooner or later. I can’t hide for the rest of my life. Besides, I used to come here when I worked for your mom. And I was pretending to be normal. I like it here. Look, no one’s even staring at me. It’s kind of exhilarating.

Victoria: Yeah. Now, listen, um, I know we said we would take this slow and you can say no if you’re not ready for it, but since we’re here, how would you like to say hello to one of your new family members? I’m adding downy unstopables to my wash.

Victoria: Summer.

Summer: Aunt victoria.

Victoria: Hi. Oh, so good to see you.

Summer: I’ve been so worried about you. How are you doing?

Victoria: I’m better. Thank you. Summer, I wanted you to meet my daughter, claire. Claire, this is summer. She’s nick’s daughter.

Summer: I– I heard some of the story from my dad. And I read in the paper that victoria and cole’s daughter was alive, but this is…

Victoria: It’s a miracle.

Summer: Exactly, I mean, this has got to be so overwhelming for you.

Claire: It’s a lot. But it’s also really nice. I was just saying to victoria– mom. That it actually feels kind of normal, if that makes any sense.

Summer: Yeah, it makes perfect sense. I mean, if there is anything normal about being a newman. But I think that you’ll like it when you get used to it. Welcome to the family, cuz.

Claire: Thank you, cuz.

Summer: Oh, this is my stepson, harrison.

Claire: Hey, harrison. It’s so nice to meet you.

Summer: Unfortunately, he’s not in a great mood today.

Claire: That’s okay. I have those days all the time. Hey, what are you drawing? Is that a squirrel? Do you know how to get a squirrel to like you? Act like a nut. So you like squirrels.

Summer: And ducks. He likes ducks.

Claire: Oh, ducks are really cool. Ah, but they’re gone now, huh? Well, that’s okay. They always come back. They just go south for the winter. Do you know why? It’s too far to walk. I know, I’m hilarious.

Victoria: Where are those jokes coming from?

Claire: There were some excellent books in the kids ward.

Victoria: Oh.

Claire: I have about a million knock-knock jokes too.

Summer: Oh, you are gonna get along great with my dad. He is the king of stupid dad jokes.

Claire: Nick has a silly streak. I had no idea.

Victoria: Just wait until you see him dance.

Summer: Ooh.

Claire: Well, I will have a ton more jokes for you the next time I see you. That’s a promise.

Victoria: See, I told you. You really do have a way with children.

Kyle: What’s going on here? Oh, wait a second. Where did harrison’s scowl go?

Summer: Oh, I think he misplaced it once claire showed up.

Harrison: Claire’s funny.

Kyle: Oh, apparently so. Hi, I’m kyle abbott.

Claire: Claire grace.

Kyle: Well, it’s a pleasure to finally meet a stranger who makes my son smile.

Tucker: Ashley is no threat to you, audra. None. I don’t know how many times I have to tell you that.

Audra: Just once, if you meant it.

Tucker: Okay, you want to know what ashley said to me before she kissed me? She repeated her offer to give me everything that I claimed I ever wanted. All I had to do was say yes. I had to give up the notion that she had a problem. I had to dump you, of course. Uh, and get back together with her. There it is, all laid out before me, mine for the taking. And where am I? In here and where am I in here? With you. You, exactly where i want to be. What’s going on with ashley has nothing to do with love. Has nothing to do with romance. It has to do with wanting to help someone I care about. Doing the right thing, which, as you know, is not my forte. But I swear to god, that’s all this is.

Audra: You really can’t see it, can you?

Tucker: See what?

Audra: That she’s sucking you back in.

Tucker: No, she’s not sucking me back in.

Audra: You know, you went from telling me that we are a team, a power couple destined to be together to essentially telling me she’s an option.

Tucker: No, that is not what I’m telling you. I’m telling you that’s what she claimed.

Audra: You know, I was talking to someone today who advised me to fight for us. But I can’t fight this. Especially when I’d be fighting all on my own.

Tucker: Wait a minute.

Audra: Good luck. Let go!

I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well

Chelsea: Connor, I know you’re bored, but it shouldn’t be much longer. Dr. Alcott will see us in a few minutes.

Adam: Hey, buddy, I brought that stuff that you wanted from home.

Chelsea: Thanks, dad. That’s awesome. Should we see what’s in the bag?

Adam: Yeah, I made sure to pack that hat that you wanted. You wanna put it on? Okay. Well, I have a better idea. How about you tell us what’s going on? Look, there’s probably a lot going on in your head right now, and that’s gotta be stressful, but your mom and I are ready to listen, so whatever you want to say.

Connor: I hate this. I hate the doctor. I hate being here. I hate myself.

[ Knock on door ]

Audra: Go away.

Tucker: Audra, I just have one thing to ask you. It’s a crucial question. Please.

Audra: What is it?

Tucker: Well, you said that you’re done with me. I just want to know what you mean by that exactly.

Audra: What part of I’m done are you struggling with?

Tucker: Are you done with everything? Or just me? You’re done with me? Okay. Well, what about everything else? What about glissade? I hope we’re not going to let ashley ruin that for us, too.

Kyle: So you two are cousins, but you never knew each other existed. I mean, it seems impossible. And yet…

Victoria: It’s a dream come true.

Kyle: I mean, to have that amazing loss, and then… it’s incredible.

Summer: With a whole family who can’t wait to get to know you.

Claire: And same to you. Harrison, is this for me?

Victoria: Aw.

Claire: Aw, that’s gorgeous. I love it, thank you.

Kyle: Oh, hey, buddy. Come here.

Ashley: Hey. Hi, you guys.

Kyle: Hey, ashley.

Ashley: Hi. How’s kindergarten? Oh, wait. What grade are you in? I cannot believe how big you are. I mean, pretty soon you’re going to be bigger than your dad. So cute.

Kyle: Everything all right, ashley?

Ashley: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is now. Yeah. Anyway, I wish I could stay and chat to this one, especially, but I’m going to get a cocoa. And then, you know, I gotta run. Okay, I’ll see you guys. Bye.

Kyle: See you later.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

Ashley: Hey, bro. What’s up?

Billy: Hey, sis. Everything okay?

Summer: I’m going to do some digging. See if I can come up with the parts of the story that victoria didn’t share with us and we’ll go from there.

Jordan: Oh, oh, thank god.

Nikki: Sorry to burst your bubble, jordan, but this isn’t a rescue party.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Ok yes. Hello. This is dr. Portia robinson. I’m trying to locate a dr. Paul braddock. Okay. I’ll hold. Dr. Robinson, you wanted these test results right away? I can take over. Uh, thank you, sarah. You sure? Okay. Yes, yes. I’m here. Yes, I understand dr. Braddock has retired, but he was part of the med-psych education faculty. Shouldn’t you be able to reach him? Thank you for looking into it. You can call me back at this number. Well, I guess I was being a little overconfident, thinking we could just drive down to maryland and get answers. This dr. Braddock, he’s hard to find. We’ll track him down eventually, and then we’ll find out why he misdiagnosed you with schizophrenia. Okay, now, go on. What, are you trying to get rid of us now? Well, do you or do you not have physical therapy? I do. All right, well, get to moving. Best not to argue with the lady. No, no, we probably won’t argue. Bye, aunt stella. See you. Thank you for this. You know, that’s the third time you’ve said that. Well, you’ve got better things to do than proofread my copy. No, I’m happy to, dad. Unfortunately, my keyboard aim isn’t what it used to be. Yeah, I can tell. What — what’s that supposed to be? Uh, “went about his way.” Yeah. Yeah, no, that makes a lot more sense now. Yeah. You know, I can retype this for you, dad. Oh, no. It’ll take me two minutes. It’ll take much longer than that, and you’re a busy man. My son, the doctor. No. Uh —

[ Knock on door ] Yeah. Come on in. Hi, finn. Hi.Hey. What can I do for you? I just got the radiology report from heather webber’s mri and angiography. Mm. Oh, I think this is my cue to make my exit. Thank you. Fourth time’s the charm?

[ Chuckles ] I just can’t help myself, I guess. No. Good to see you. You, too. I take it there’s something interesting in the report? You could say that. Nina: Un. Believable. Thank you. Oh. You didn’t mean that as a compliment. Far from it, alexis. That follow-up piece you put in today’s paper about the incident on the docks? Yeah. What about it? Well, it was an outrage, that’s “what about it.” Well, like you said, I ran the piece. I didn’t write it. So? So, that’s how it works in local news. I understand how it works, alexis. But it was a smear job on sonny. And — can — can you pay attention? Sonny knows that I am publishing this newspaper, and the last thing I want is to antagonize him. Then quit. Better yet, why don’t you run the paper and stop antagonizing me?

[ Gasps ] I’m gonna break her kneecaps. Whose kneecaps? Did I say that out loud? No.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Ah, D.A. Scorpio. Just the man I wanted to see. Kevin: Can you state your full name for me? Heather grant moore taylor — no, baker, then taylor — all right, all right, maybe that wasn’t a fair question. I — webber. How about this? What’s today’s date?

[ Scoffs ] March something. March something? Yeah, well, they’re all — the days are just blending together. Who’s our president?

[ Sighs ] The guy with the — with the aviators. I can’t focus! Don’t you understand? It’s too painful to look at him. All I can see is his brother. I wish I could report that heather is in her right mind, but — hey. Pfft. Sane or not sane, I don’t really give a damn. She’s being transferred today. Look, I’d be thrilled to see the last of heather webber, believe me, but unfortunately, she’s not going anywhere. See?


Can you hand me another box? No. Please? No. I’m not going to help you do the very thing that I don’t want you to do and the thing that doesn’t even have to happen. Joss, we’ve been over this. Yes, and it still makes no sense. You love it in port charles. I do. And you love me. Even more. Then how can you leave? I would ask you to come with me, but I know you need to stay close to your family. Yeah. I need my family, and they need me, but… I need you, too. I’m not joking, nina. Why don’t you run the invader the way you see fit and leave me out of it? But you can’t, can you? ‘Cause you don’t know how to edit a newspaper. Nor do I have any desire to. Then let me do my job. Here you go. Oh, sorry. I didn’t realize you were in with someone. Ooh, what does she have you writing? Nina! Call it quality control. I don’t want tomorrow’s paper bearing any resemblance to today’S. That is psychotic, let alone obsessive. It’s an article on the police department outreach to kids ages 8 to 14. Scandalous. Uh, they do field trips, athletics, arts and crafts. My son chase is one of the volunteer officers. Oh. “Oh.” Uh — it’s highly unprofessional. I mean, look at this, with all the red marks, the cross-outs, the typos? I mean, please. And why didn’t you electronically submit this? You know something? If you want the edition out by tomorrow, you need to get out of my office. Right now. Out! Whatever. “Whatever.”

[ Sighs ] These are heather’s mri images. Uh, what are we looking at exactly here? Well, this is the reason she isn’t getting discharged today, not in this condition. Okay, while I love a good guessing game, I have a feeling I’m not needed here, so good luck. I think I’m going to need it.[ Chuckles ] Oh, dr. Enoch, thank you so much for making the time. Oh, the co-chief calls, I answer. Can somebody please tell us what’s going on? Um… you can actually speak in front of mayor collins. She holds heather webber’s healthcare proxy. I do? That’s what the paperwork says. Dear god — I suppose I might be the nearest thing she has left to family. Scary thought. Terrifying. Uh, look, um, can we get back to the matter at hand? I have citizens to protect. Ah. See these orbs of brightness? They suggest metallosis, specifically cobalt poisoning. And how do you get that? Fractured or slowly degrading hip replacement hardware. So heather’s hip replacement is poisoning her? Well, to confirm, we’ll need blood tests, a tox screen, and a panel for heavy metals. Already ordered. But that’s the working theory, yes. The syndrome’s accompanied by a spectrum of neuropsychiatric symptoms. To that end, have you noticed any changes, however subtle, in heather’s behavior in recent years?


Physical therapist: Good. Good. As you get stronger, we can increase these exercise weights. This is going to help your quads and hamstrings. And we’re all for that, aren’t we, son? How many reps, doc? Well, as many as you can tolerate, as long as you’re pain level doesn’t go above a three.

[ Grunting ] Okay. I know you have other patients. Do you mind if I stay at it for a minute? Uh, you keep an eye on him? Oh, absolutely. All right, go for it. Thanks. All right. Yeah.

[ Grunts ] There you go. Come on. Thanks for staying, dad. You know, I love it. Watching you work so hard. I’m proud of you, son. Well, I’m proud of you. I mean confronting dr. Braddock when I know you had reservations. Oh. [ Chuckles ] That. Well, have you thought about what you’re going to say to him when you’re finally face to face? Curtis, if he’s the same psychiatrist I remember, it won’t be anything nice. Hey, it’s dr. Finn. Anything on those orders dr. Robinson put through? Great. Thanks. Finn: Heather’s test results should be in. Oh, let me look them up. Okay. Here we go. Mm. My preliminary diagnosis is confirmed. Melatonin?

[ Sighs ] Metallosis. So, what now? Well, the failing hip that’s poisoning the patient needs to be replaced immediately. Well, can’t the federal pen at the women’s division do it? Robert. Well, c-come on. She’s a homicidal maniac. Yes, but now we’re learning that there may be a medical reason for that. She’s always been a bit loony. Yes, loony, right. I mean, she did crazy things, like, I don’t know, once, she tried to give somebody lsd, and she ended up drinking it herself, you know? She’s not a murderer. She is definitely not a serial killer. I mean, that’s just… new. Portia: Look, I’m not a fan of heather webber, but this is about human suffering. I checked with dr. Randolph, and she agrees with me. If we fail to treat heather webber, we could be opening ourselves up for an investigation, possible liability. Oh, we have got to let this go, robert, I mean, especially if it poses a risk to the hospital. Right. To think I missed breakfast in bed because of this.

[ Telephone rings ] Dr. Robinson here. Can you say that again? Thank you for getting back to me. Well, I’m glad to know that we’re still good at that. Did you think we wouldn’t be? No, it just — it’s nice to know, that’s all. I wish we could stay in bed all day. Well, why can’t we?

[ Sighs ] Because I have to pack. You’re still leaving? I have to, joss. Stop saying that. You don’t have to. You’re making a choice to do this. It doesn’t feel like a choice to me, okay? I’ve realized I don’t know sonny as well as I thought I did. Maybe that’s how you feel about jason now that he’s suspected of shooting dante. Jason did not shoot dante, okay? That, I know. What he did do is wrapped that bandage around him and called 911. You know how I know that? Because you two are very similar. You’re both good, decent human beings. Just like I don’t understand how you and jason are so loyal to someone like sonny. I was loyal to sonny, but I’m also afraid of him. Maybe not him so much, but who I’m becoming because of him. And maybe you should be, too. I am so sorry about nina. She doesn’t know. I don’t care what she knows or doesn’t know. She had no right to talk to you that way. It was callous, and it was rude. Maybe. But… as your publisher, nina’s allowed to set standards. And it’s become clear to me today that I’m no longer able to meet them. I disagree. Pretending otherwise does me no favors. Alexis, please allow me my dignity. This will be my last article for the invader.

[ Sighs ] Where are you going with that? Uh, to make the corrections that nina wanted. And then I’ll submit my final copy electronically, just like all your other writers do. Thank you. The pleasure’s been mine.


So, dad, I know how you feel about dr. Braddock now, but what were your impressions of him in the beginning? Dr. Braddock, he was — he was kind, at first. He was compassionate and understanding. Yeah. When I told him, “I feel like everything’s against me,” and I meant that — money. Work. Family obligations. He was sympathetic, and he assured me it wasn’t my fault. A chemical imbalance. The way he put it, son, way he put it was there was a part of my brain that was fighting itself. Right? So that was an explanation. It gave me relief, an explanation as to why everything was going to hell. But I didn’t have insurance. So when he prescribed me pills I couldn’t afford, I was out there cobbling that money together. Yeah, don’t ask me how I did it. I won’T. Anything to make me better able to take care of you, your mama, and your brother. But them pills, ooh, man, curtis, those pills, they — they made me rigid. I-I couldn’t play. I could hardly feel my fingers. And — and my mouth was so dry, the reed just stuck to it. Did you tell the doctor? That’s when he offered me those shock treatments, at the bargain price of $800 a pop. Get out of here. I ain’t kidding. So what’d you do? I blew up on him, that’s what I did. I vented my anger, and I vented my frustration. How did dr. Braddock take it? Not well. Metallosis? That sounds like something you get when your tongue freezes to the flagpole. Dr. Enoch believes the condition is what’s causing your symptoms. My symptoms? Yes, both physical and mental. Wait, are you saying that this poison is making me think things a-and do things that I normally wouldn’t? It’s a very real possibility that the metallosis has altered your perception and behavior.

[ Gasps ] No doctor has ever told me anything but that I’m crazy. How long has the pain in your hip been acute? Um, let’s see. Well, I’m not sure, but it feels like an eternity. Well, we would surgically remove the defective apparatus and replace it with a current model. You mean like buying a new car? You just junk the old hip and replace it with this year’s model? As with any surgeries, um, there are significant risks. Oh. A standard hip replacement takes approximately two hours. Yours may be double that. Okay. You will be under anesthesia and carefully monitored. Okay. However, in rare cases, patients experience complications from anesthesia. Complications meaning you never wake up? In very rare cases. But before we do the surgery, we’re going to start you on cobalt chelation therapy, which — yeah, excuse me, but c-could I — could I just have a minute? Thank you.

[ Monitor beeping ] I don’t understand what he’s saying. I mean, I hear the words, but all that “medicalese” just sounds like a lot of white noise. Do you know what he’s talking about? Uh, I-I think I do. Well, can — can you just figure it out for me, then, please? I mean, you’re my guardian now. No, heather, I-I’m not your guardian. It’s just in case you — you can’t make decisions for yourself, I’m in charge of your medical care. Well, as you can see, laura, I mean, I’m having a really hard time with that. You’re having a hard time with what exactly? With making decisions.

[ Exhales deeply ] I — there should be a will in my file, I think. Yes, yes, I-I’ve seen it. Okay. Short but sweet. You leave your entire estate to your grandson ace. Yeah, to ace. I mean, not that I have anything to leave. But I don’t want to leave him. So what do you think I should do, laura? I mean, do you think that I should have them take out my whole hip and put in a new one? Heather, it’s a personal choice. Please. Help me decide. I think you should do it.

[ Sighs ] Finn: You’re back. I changed my mind. About? Would you mind, uh, retyping this from — uh, tonight after work? I don’t mind typing it right now. Are you sure? Positive. Thank you. So, what was the verdict? Was alexis a fan? Alexis usually likes what I write. But I’ve decided that this will be my last article. Oh? How come? Newspaper gig just isn’t for me. Well, it’ll certainly free up some more time. It will. Maybe you can finish up that, uh, chaucer book you’ve been working on or, well, you always said you wanted to write a novel. Yeah, um, it’s on my list. Well, start scratching a few things off, will you? I mean, they say no time like the present. At least that’s what they say. The present, son, is all we’ve got. What’s your problem? “Port charles’ own red-headed mob lawyer. Shacking up with the district attorney.” I never said that. Well, your paper sure did.


Hi. Stella! I hope I’m not interrupting anything. Ah, nothing important. What can I do for you? Well, I was hoping to pick your brain. Pick away. Did you ever encounter a psychiatrist named dr. Paul braddock? He practiced out of baltimore, but from what I gather, he was fairly well known. You could say that. I had nothing to do with that. Is the invader not your publication? Ah. You seem to have forgotten that I have a new publisher, who has shoved a gossip columnist right down my throat. I haven’t seen anything about that. Well, you might want to start reading it. And I’m assuming that you’re going to print a retraction tomorrow. What do you want me to say? That you’re not a natural redhead?

[ Laughs mockingly ] I have something that you might be happier about. Thrill me. Nina has forbidden us to mention sonny at all. Nada, zip, not a word. So your number-one client is officially off-limits. My god. Does the woman have a single redeeming quality? You say it like I’m going to follow her orders. A lawyer can dream, can’t she? You mean a red-headed mob lawyer.

[ Chuckles, groans ] What if I said I would come with you? I’d say you were lying. To me, but mostly to yourself. Your family is way too important to you, and that’s a good thing. I wish I felt that way about mine. You’re important to me. It’s different. Yes, it’s different. I love my family. But I’m in love with you. And I love you, too. So much. You know I’ve never said that to anyone before. That’s why I want what’s best for you, and that can’t be me. Is it sonny that you’re worried about? Because I might be able to protect you. I can talk to my mom. She can talk to him. I know that they’re not together. I know that they’ve been through it, but I just — I have a feeling that he might still listen to her. What if it’s already too late?

[ Knock on door ] What if what’s too late?

[ Loud knocking on door ] I’ll get it. Nina. Looking for more backs to stab? Sorry. I’m fresh out. That was nice. It’s nice watching you work so hard, put all this work into your recovery. Pop, pop, don’t do that, okay? My recovery is quantifiable. Do my exercises, I’ll be back on my feet sooner. But that was not the same for you. You’re right. Our — our situations are different. Yes. And you know what that difference is? I ran and gave up. You didn’T. Working hard or hardly working? Ah, man, you know your — your nephew. Can’t stop, won’t stop. Were you able to locate dr. Braddock?

[ Sighs ] Auntie. Auntie, what’s wrong? I got good news and bad news. Which do you want first? Bad. Bad. Dr. Braddock died just before christmas.

[ Sighs ]Well, that’s, uh — yeah, hard to find the words to say, huh? Well, well, well. You won’t find me mourning the man. No, no one would expect you to, pop. Look, I knew. I knew all this searching stuff, it would lead to nothing. Auntie, you said you had some good news, too. The answers that you’ve been looking for are not hiding in baltimore. They are right upstairs in this hospital.


I just can’t believe how big he’s getting. Yeah, I know. Baby today, mayor of port charles tomorrow. You think he’ll follow in your footsteps, huh? Oh, I-I don’t know who he will grow up to be. Better your path than mine, that is for sure.

[ Sighs ] It all just went so wrong, laura. When? How? I mean besides this metallosis stuff. What happened to me? I don’t know, heather. I — you know, if it makes you feel any better, I feel like I’ve lived a few different lives, and — and sometimes, I can’t always connect the dots between them. Well, see, that’s exactly it. It’s so random, right? It’s just so disjointed. Sometimes I feel like I’m in free-fall. And the only thing worse than that fall itself is the ground rushing up to meet me. Heather, you know the upside to having gotten it all wrong? I didn’t think there was an upside. There’s still time for you to get it right. Is dex here? I don’t know. Dex, are you here? Hello. I was hoping that you would relay a message to sonny that I had no idea that the invader was going to run that story on him today. You know, I’ve only been publishing that newspaper for a very short time, so they don’t run anything by me, but I’m gonna — have you ever seen sonny read a newspaper? I have not. Mm. But he’s very well informed. He just gets his news through other means. Okay, great. So you’re in the clear. Goodbye. Hold on! A-are you — are you going somewhere? Uh, is sonny going somewhere? Are you accompanying him as his guard? First of all, that’s none of your business. Second of all, dex is through with sonny, kind of like how sonny’s through with you. You are your mother’s daughter. Oh, yes. Proud of it. Oh, I see what’s happening here. Dex, you broke up with sonny. And that can only mean you’re next, josslyn. I hate complaining. I really do. And yet — and yet the newspaper business is — how do I phrase this? Miserable? Yes. In general, nobody reads anymore. They scroll. Specifically, it’s this place. It’s this publisher. I’m dishing gossip to make nina reeves happy. Who am I? What have I become? That’s a rhetorical question? I’m telling you, I would take up the law again for free if it meant that I could get out from under this nasty job. Really? Well, in that case, I have a proposal for you, one that will get you out of this place and away from nina reeves for good. Semicolon should be a period. There are no semicolons in newspapers.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. Noted. Uh, here. Here’s the, uh, web address for the invader work site. You can post it there. Okay. And this is the password? Yeah. All right.

[ Keyboard clacking ] There you go. Your final article has been uploaded. Excellent. Think you can stick around, have some lunch with me? I know it’s not the metro court, but the turkey chili’s pretty decent. Thanks, but I think I’ll head home, try to squeeze in a nap before violet gets home from school. Yeah. Okay. Thank you again for this. And thank you for… everything. I’m not done quite yet, hamilton. Better not be. See you at home? See you at home, dad.


Hamilton finn. Hey, bodhan. Thought that unknown number might be you. Thanks for getting back to me. Where’d they send you this time? Wow. I heard all hell’s breaking loose there. Hey, well, look, I, uh — I realize my timing is terrible, so I will make it quick. Uh, my dad’s been diagnosed with als. Oh, thank you. I, um — I appreciate that. You know how it is. Uh, look, and I know the — the course of the disease varies with every patient, but it seems to be accelerating with him. And, man, you’re the best neurologist I ever worked with, so I just want to know if you have anything, you know? And I don’t — I don’t even know what I’m looking for. I’d take a little magic at this point, but I — yeah. No, I-I know the drill. Yeah, no. Look, go, uh — go save some lives and, um, stay safe, brother. I don’t want to take another hit piece like that gossip columnist just leveled at me. I’m a phenomenal lawyer. You’re not going to get any argument from me. I also hate to think that I’m the kind of person who cares what people think of me. But my reputation matters. And I don’t want anybody out there thinking that I only take cases for mob money. That’s not why I got into the law in the first place. Why did you? Well, I’m going to assume it’s for the same reasons that you got in, alexis, to be of service, to strive for justice, even if the definition of justice happens to vary a little bit between you and me. Do you want me to write a puff piece? No, no, I want — actually, I want — I just want you to zip it. Pay attention. Come work with me. As what, your receptionist? No. As my very esteemed every-other-day colleague. And — and if you’re very good and very nice to me, at some point soon, my partner. I think you’re forgetting the small matter of my disbarment. I’m not able to practice law anymore. Says who? The appellate division of the supreme court of the state of new york. And it was a swift and decisive ruling, I might add. And it’s a ruling I’m betting I can get overturned. Now that we’ve already acknowledged that you are a chip off the ol’ carly block, I bet the only secrets you really like are the ones you keep to yourself. Okay. That’s enough. Get out. No, no, no. What do you mean? Oh. You should really aim that question to your boyfriend. What is she talking about? Oh, don’t be shy, dex. Come on. Tell josslyn about the day I caught you dressed as an orderly coming out of cyrus renault’s hospital room. Remember, no funny business. There is nothing funny about surgery, if you ask me. Okay, who’s got a pen? Uh, um, heather, would you like dr. Enoch to go over the procedure with you one more time? In layman’s terms. I mean, before you sign? No. Not necessary. You think I should do this, that’s good enough for me. Do you have a pen? Yes. Yes, yes. Well, gracias, “doctore.” Okay. Here goes.

[ Monitor beeping ]

[ Sighs ] Kind of messy, but — okay. We’ll submit your consent, get the ball rolling. Yes. Of course.

[ Sighs ] We’ll talk soon. Okay. Thank you. Hey, laura. What’s kevin like in bed?

[ Chuckles ] Excuse me? I was just wondering, you know, if — if there were any similarities with ryan, you know, in that department.

[ Chuckles ] Heather, you know, here, I thought we were getting along so well. We were. We are. Have a good day. What’d I say?

[ Scoffs ] I understand you were a patient of dr. Paul braddock. Once upon a time, yes. I take it you’ve heard of him? Oh, he made quite a name for himself. What, was this guy famous or something? Some might go with infamous. He’s the one who diagnosed me with schizophrenia. Stella told me. Gave me all these — these dire warnings about how — how it might progress, how I might hurt myself or my family and the shame it would bring upon them if that happened. Doctor, I was so scared. I was so scared, I left my boys and let my wife and stella here raise them without me. But none of it, none of it was true. You didn’t have what he said you did. What would make a doctor tell me I’m a schizophrenic when I wasn’t? I can’t say for certain. Guess. Dr. Collins, could you please help us out? We need answers. I believe you were misdiagnosed because you were young, male, poor, angry, and black.

[ Sentimental music ]

Luna: My mom doesn’t understand how hard it’s been. I mean, my whole life, not knowing who my father is. I just– I’m so sorry you came here looking for her and you got all this.

Bill: No, no, no, it’s okay. I– I just hate seeing you so upset.

Luna: We never fight. Never. But I just– I couldn’t pretend like it doesn’t bother me anymore.

Bill: Your mom loves you. You’re gonna work this out.

Luna: I just wish I could talk to my father.

Poppy: Finn.

Finn: Hey, aunt poppy.

Poppy: Hi.

Finn: I– come in, I… it’s all right. I didn’t know you were coming by.

Poppy: Oh. You didn’t get my text?

Finn: Uh, no, I went out for a surf. I haven’t checked my phone. Damn. It’s good to see you.

Poppy: Yeah, it’s great to see you. Did you catch any waves?

Finn: Uh, yeah, yeah. I was just, um, yeah, just trying to– trying to clear my head.

Poppy: Yeah, I can’t imagine. I’m sorry.

Finn: If you’re looking for my mom, I think she’s at work.

Poppy: Um, no. I actually needed someone who would listen and be understanding, which unfortunately is not my sister.

Finn: Hey, what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Poppy: It’s luna.

Ridge: Wow. You must’ve been thinking about someone very special when you designed this one.

Thomas: Hope. Always hope. You know, when I’m not seeing her and she’s not around me, I’m just waiting until I can see her again, you know?

Ridge: You really are smitten, aren’t you?

Thomas: A bit. I think she feels the same. I’ve never had a woman care about me the way that hope does.

Ridge: Well, I’m pulling for both of you.

Thomas: Thanks.

Hope: Have you ever seen me like this?

Brooke: Not in a long time.

Hope: It’s because I haven’t been this happy in a long time, and that’s because of thomas. Look, mom, I know you don’t wanna hear this, but it’s the truth. He’s good for me. We’re– we’re good for each other. So please, can you stop fighting it? Can you support my relationship with thomas?

Thomas: You know, you were one of the first people to jump on board. Wish us well.

Ridge: You’re my boy. I believe in you. Always have your back.

Thomas: Well, your encouragement means the world, and I don’t know where I’d be without it.

Ridge: You know what I learned over the years? Life is short. Find your future. Grab it. Hold on to it.

Thomas: That’s exactly what I intend to do today.

Brooke: I can’t deny what a great place you’re in, and beth and douglas seem to be thriving too.

Hope: Thomas is wonderful with the kids.

Brooke: And thomas seems to be in a better place as well.

Hope: What is this I’m hearing? Is this progress?

Brooke: I’m trying. I’m trying. As surprised as I am, I can’t deny the positive impact that he’s had on your life.

Hope: Honestly, mom, thank you. I can tell you’re making an effort, and this really has been a wonderful time in my life, and I want to be able to share that with you.

Brooke: Honey, I just love you so much. I want you to be happy.

Hope: And I am happy. I’m so, so happy, and in large part that is because of thomas.

Finn: Is everything okay with luna? She’s not– she’s not sick or anything?

Poppy: No, but she is hurt and disappointed.

Finn: What, by rj?

Poppy: No… by me. I’ve let my daughter down, finn, and for the first time in her life, it’s not me she wants to talk to. It’s her father.

Bill: Your father.

Luna: I’ve always been able to turn to my mom, you know, share anything and everything with her, but this time it’s different.

Bill: Because you and poppy had a fight. I know you wish you could talk to your dad. I’m not your dad, but if I concentrate really hard, I think I could be a good listener. Moving forward with node-positive

Ridge: Wow, look at you. Look how gorgeous you are.

Brooke: Oh, thank you. You’re as handsome as ever.

Ridge: Yeah?

Brooke: Yeah. Hmm. So how’s your day going?

Ridge: It’s, uh, pretty good.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: How do you get better looking every time I see you?

Brooke: I need to come back in here more often in between meetings.

Ridge: Yeah, you should.

Brooke: It’s very special.

Ridge: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: So, uh, I had an interesting conversation with hope.

Ridge: About what?

Brooke: About her and thomas.

Ridge: That’s funny. I had that same conversation with my son.

Brooke: Oh?

Ridge: I’m convinced that he’s completely devoted to her.

Brooke: You might be right.

Thomas: Good, you’re here.

Hope: Promise me you will always be this excited to see me.

Thomas: I promise.

[ Hope squeals ] Hmm…

Hope: What’s got you in such a good mood today? And, um, excuse me, what is this?

Thomas: Oh, well, this is, um, a little something I wanted you to try on.

Hope: It is beautiful.

Thomas: Yeah, not as beautiful as it’ll look once it’s on you.

Hope: When did you find the time?

Thomas: I stayed up late a few extra nights. Wanted it to be a surprise.

Hope: Oh, well, aren’t I just the luckiest woman in the world to be dating such a sexy, talented artiste?

Thomas: What can I say? You’re my muse.

Hope: Hmm. I do humbly accept the title, but I, uh, your muse was kind of in the middle of something. So can it– can it wait?

Thomas: No.

Hope: No.

Thomas: No.

Hope: Oh, so it’s important.

Thomas: Very important.

Hope: Oh, gosh, when you say it like that, it sounds like your future depends on it.

Thomas: It kind of does.

Hope: Oh, well, then, in that case, um, I guess help me take my clothes off.

Thomas: Okay.

Bill: Look, uh, I tend to talk a lot, take up a room, but for you, I’m gonna work very hard on just shutting up. I will zip it, zipped. Seriously, I’ll just listen.

Luna: Thank you, bill, that’s– that’s really kind of you to offer, but, um, I probably shouldn’t get into it.

Bill: Fair enough.

Luna: Oh, my god. I’m sorry. Uh, where are my manners? Uh, did you want something to drink, or?

Bill: I really do. I don’t suppose you have scotch.

Luna: No, my mom doesn’t drink alcohol.

Bill: Yeah, right. I– I know. I mean, she won’t even have a glass of the finest bottle of wine. She’s just all about relaxing with her happy mints. What? What? Did I say something wrong?

Luna: No, I was just thinking about some other thing.

Bill: See, I told you I talk too much.

Luna: Can I ask you something, bill?

Bill: Shoot.

Luna: Has my mom ever talked to you about my father? If advanced lung cancer

Ridge: Hang on a second. Did I hear you right? Did you say that thomas might be good for hope?

Brooke: I might be changing my mind just a little bit.

Ridge: All right, that’s– that– that is fantastic, but why, why?

Ridge: Why would you see him differently now?

Brooke: Okay, just don’t read too much into it. But I have seen changes in my daughter. She seems very light and joyful and, uh, a lot of trust and confidence, and I do believe that one of the reasons is because of thomas.

[ Hope clears throat ]

Thomas: Wow.

Hope: It’s, uh… thomas, it’s stunning.

Thomas: It’s not the dress. It’s you. You are on my mind every moment I put pen to paper.

Hope: Hmm. Well, it is perfect, and there is nothing that I would change about it.

Thomas: That’s high praise.

Hope: Well, it feels spectacular on, and it hits– hmm… it hits all the right places.

Thomas: Well, it sure does.

Hope: All right, this was fun while it lasted, uh, but I know it’s probably already spoken for, so I should–

Thomas: Uh, no, no, I want you to keep it on.

Hope: What are you saying, that I can have it?

Thomas: You can have anything you want. I would give you the world.

Hope: You already have.

Thomas: No, no, don’T.

Hope: No?

Thomas: No– no I have, uh, I have something planned, and I think you should wear it.

Hope: Oh, oh. Oh, there are plans?

Thomas: There are. We’re going somewhere. It’s not too far, so don’t worry. Come on, let’s go.

Hope: What, right now?

Thomas: Yes, right now. Come on.

Hope: Okay.

Finn: Luna’s upset she can’t speak with her dad?

Poppy: Yeah, I’ve been giving her the run-around since she was born, but… she’s finally fed up with me.

Finn: Do you, um, do you know who luna’s father is? Like, would you– would you consider opening up to her?

Poppy: It seems like more and more like I have no choice.

Finn: Well, that’s– that’s your call, but what I don’t understand is what do I have to do with this?

Luna: Well, my mom’s told you that I don’t know who my father is.

Bill: It’s come up a few times.

Luna: Well, has she ever mentioned anything or any ideas on who it could be?

Bill: We discussed it, and for a while I thought, maybe hoped, that it could be me. Schwarzkopf

Finn: The reason you’re here to see me is about luna’s father?

Poppy: Yes. I need to talk to you about that.

Bill: Crazy, huh?

Luna: Um, well, actually, rj thought the same thing when i first told him how you and my mom met, you know, all those years ago, and the timeline matches up.

Bill: It does. That’s why I had to ask poppy if I could be your father.

Luna: And let me guess, she said no.

Bill: She said it wasn’t me.

Luna: I mean, I’m not surprised. Anytime I mention my father or ask her if maybe it could be someone from her past that I’ve met before, she always just shuts down and says that she’s not sure.

Bill: Did you ever think she has a good reason for keeping it from you?

Luna: I mean, what legitimate reason could there be? You know, the older I get, the more I wonder, and I don’t think it’s fair for her to keep this from me. You know, like it’s some deep, dark, dirty secret. You know, this is my life. It’s– it’s my identity. I mean, is it so wrong for me to wanna know who my father is?

Bill: No, no, not at all. You have every right to that information. And like I told poppy, any man would be proud to call you his daughter.

Ridge: So you’re seeing thomas differently. Thank you. That’s all I can ask.

Brooke: Do I believe that thomas adds to hope’s life? Yes, I do. She seems happier and she’s laughing more. What mother doesn’t want that for her daughter?

Ridge: Absolutely. And she must be thrilled, right?

Brooke: Yeah, you could say that.

Ridge: Look at us. We– we do things together all the time. It’s all we do, and now maybe the two of them, they could move this company forward, this family.

Brooke: Okay, okay. I think they should take it slow, but I am giving thomas the benefit of the doubt. But only hope knows what’s best for her.

Hope: Ah, ah. Wow. Um, is there a hope for the future event that I wasn’t aware we were planning?

Thomas: Well, this does have to do with hope for the future.

Hope: Uh-huh. And, uh, where’s the rest of the team, then? Where’s everyone?

Thomas: Right here.

Hope: So it’s just the two of us.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Well then, I, uh, I call this meeting to order.

Thomas: Oh, okay. Well, actually, I have a little speech that I wanted to try out. Do you mind if I practice it on you?

Hope: Okay. I’d love to hear it.

Thomas: Okay, um… here it goes. The future is full of uncertainty, and how do you get past that uncertainty? We, take risks. It’s trial and error, and then you find successes. And we have found successes in our relationship, working for hope for the future, but also in our relationship as a couple, building a wonderful family. And through those risks, you trust your instincts. You take second chances, and you have given me more second chances than I probably deserve. But… you kept giving me more chances, and for that, I am so grateful. I will always be grateful to you for that. And speaking of second chances, um… you said you needed more time. But I think we’re ready. I think we’re very, very ready. It’s time for you to take this ring and put it on your finger. I don’t wanna wait anymore. So, hope… say you’ll make me the happiest man in the world. Say you’ll be my wife. Say you’ll marry me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. Ah, there you are. Got up early, huh? Yes, I did. I was hoping that you had gone back to sleep since you were just tossing and turning for the one hour you were in bed last night. I’m okay. I just want to go see Tripp. I know. I know. And I do too, but there’s actually no rush. I talked to Sarah, she said they’re both resting comfortably.

And you, my lover, should take comfort in the fact that it is 100 percent thanks to you. Well, not 100%. It’s thanks to you too, sweetness.

And now we’re husband and wife. And I vow to love you and to cherish you with all my being. Till I draw my very last breath on this earth. Hey. Sorry to woke you. I’m sorry. Are you kidding? I am so glad to see you. How come you’re allowed out of bed? I’m not, but I know what time the shift changes. Oh, sneaky.

Whoa. Should I be jealous? Uh, your mom actually brought those. Well, I just got a muffin, so you must rate. No, I think it’s more that she feels guilty about this whole situation. Even though it’s not really her fault. Yeah, I feel guilty too. You? Why? Well, like I said, we were stuck in that tank. If you had just gone back to China when your parents wanted you to,

Gwendy, My mom didn’t mean for any of this to happen to us. I, I know she didn’t and she’s obviously horrified that it did. But with her, History has a way of repeating itself.

I just don’t think I could live with myself if something like this happened again.

Abe, we got your text. I knew we shouldn’t have gone home last night. Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. He needed to grab a few hours sleep. Okay, so, Mama flatlined, but now she’s doing better. Well, you’ll find out for yourself soon. I just don’t get it. I thought the only possible treatment for Paulina was a heart transplant.

Oh, that’s what we all thought. So then, what happened last night? Yeah, I don’t know if I can explain it. If I didn’t know better, I might think I dreamed the whole thing.

Mama?

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

Oh my god, Eli. Hey baby, look, let’s not jump to conclusions, alright? I’m sure if something had changed, your dad would have let us know. Dad, where’s mom? Well, uh, they took her out for some tests, just to see if she’s as good as she feels. Okay.

Oh, well. Oh, hello. All of my favorite people. It looks like your adoring family has returned in full force. Oh, Mama, you look so much better. Well, now, I would normally be offended by that statement, but I will accept it as a compliment and say that I do feel so much better too. Thank God. So what’s the verdict?

Well, there were no arterial blockages, no arrhythmias. Her heart tissue appears healthy, defying all medical explanation. Defying medical explanation. So you’re saying that you guys don’t have any idea of what happened to bring her back. To make her heart strong again. No. It’s nothing short of a miracle.

Tripp. It is not your job to keep me safe. Okay? I don’t need your mother’s help. To get into trouble. I do that pretty regularly myself, and, and, you know, I’m pretty damn good at getting myself out of it, too. So, I mean, not to brag, but, um. You know, you’re the reason that my dad found us before we ran out of air in that beer tank.

Yeah, I am. But you, you’re the one who kept us sane. Your brilliant, fake it till you make it, advice.

And you know, everything that happened last night, before we were running out of air, I remember that really clearly, but The last part is kind of blurry. Like, maybe I’m I imagined the whole thing. Well, when you run out of oxygen, the brain generates its own sensory inputs. Meaning what? Wait, are you telling me maybe I did imagine some of it?

I don’t understand. How could I possibly be responsible for saving Wendy and Tripp? Well, for one thing, I never would have learned CPR unless you taught me. And you made me take that refresher course a few months ago. Well, I’m happy that you mastered CPR, but you were giving me way too much credit. No, that’s not all.

I never would have picked up on Wendy’s clue in the hostage video if I hadn’t learned ASL with you all those years ago. I thought you said that there were no clues in that video. Well, we didn’t think so at first. But then I finally figured out that Wendy was making the sign for beer. You’re welcome.

Okay, I had to check online to make sure, to confirm it. For some reason, that was a sign I remembered. I wonder why. Yeah. Well anyway, after I got that Wendy was signing the word for beer, John honed in on the wall behind the kids. The configuration, the materials. And suddenly it clicked that they were in a brew tank.

So we hightailed it out to the old brewery, past the airport. That is crazy. Well, I guess it’s lucky that you remembered sign language. It’s very lucky. I just wish I’d picked up on that clue sooner, so we wouldn’t have come so close to losing those kids. Yeah, but look. Wendy and Tripp are doing great.

They’re safe, and they’re okay. Yeah. Okay, what else? Obviously, you were worried about something else. Weston broke out of Statesville, as you know. Yeah, and it’s awful, but there was nothing that you could do. Okay, what else? I don’t know. It’s just the whole, the whole nightmare. I mean, Ava getting involved with that son of a bitch in the first place and nearly getting her son killed.

And there’s that con man Constantine trying to bilk Maggie out of the Kyriakos fortune. Not to mention Abe still has amnesia. Paulina is in the hospital dying of heart failure. Well, I hate to interrupt your litany of bad news, but um, Paulina is not dying of heart failure. What? Yeah, it’s crazy. I just was talking with Sarah and she said against all odds, Paulina’s heart is functioning normal and she’s just back to normal.

Really? Yeah. How is that possible? I don’t know. But you know, my mom would say, chalk it up to the power of prayer and love. And I, you know, I’m gonna go with that because Paulina certainly has a lot of both of those things. Yeah. Wow. That’s fantastic news. They must be so relieved. Yeah, I would think so. So, you see, things were rough last night, but this morning, we have so much to be thankful for and grateful for.

Yes. Yes, we do. You hear that, Mama? It’s a miracle. Your medical mystery. A mystery I am not interested in solving. Because I do not want to jinx you. There is no way you are going to jinx it. We have you back and we are never letting you go again. And, um, Yeah. Well, my darling, there is, um, another very important miracle to celebrate, aside from my miracle, uh, and also my beautiful Lonnie finally being free and my beautiful Chanel being a happy newlywed.

You two can finally go on your honeymoon. Have You know, we actually haven’t even thought about that with everything that’s been going on. Yeah, and I wouldn’t really feel comfortable going too far right now. You, you understand that, right John? Yeah, yeah, of course I do. So, Mama, you said that there was another miracle that we had to celebrate?

Um, well, uh, That is, uh, My Abraham finally has his memory back. What? Dad! Is that true? Yes, yes it is. And I’m very happy to say that I remember everything. And I remember the day I found out that you were my daughter. And even though eventually I found out that You weren’t mine biologically. I still, I still felt so much for you.

And I always will, and I am so proud to be your father.

I love you, Dad. I have no words.

Oh, you know what else? I am so Well, my wonderful wife. I mean, I I remember falling in love with you for the first time. And I’m so happy that I got to fall in love with you all over again.

Wow, this is a, uh, this is a beautiful moment. Um, I gotta say, as much as I love my family, uh, well, most of them anyway. As most people know, the DiMeras, we’ve, we’ve had the devil in our midst, but man, the Carvers, I swear you guys must have an angel. Yes, we do. My

memory’s pretty hazy from last night, too, so What do you think happened? Well, I

I figured I’d find you in here. You gonna kick me out? Well, actually, I’ve broken so many rules today already. I let five people into a room that should have only had two people max. So, I might as well break another rule. But do me a favor and just sit, please. Sit. Is it okay if I listen to you as long as Wendy?

Yeah, yeah, I have had it. Alright, sit forward for me. Deep breath.

You know, I thought that we would have so much to celebrate when I got released from prison. But then Eli’s family house practically burned down to the ground and Mom, you were so sick and ugh. I guess I was just really afraid that this would not be a happy visit. Oh, we are on a major role with the good news.

We are

Oh, I’m sorry. I gotta take this call. Um, we’ll be back with a surprise or two. Okay, well you know I like surprises, so hurry back. I think I know exactly what those two surprises are. Oh! Hi! It’s our anniversary, buddies! Yeah, we haven’t seen you since you tied the knot. Congratulations, you two. Thank you. I hear you got some good news about your mom, Chanel.

Oh, yes. Did we ever. Well, we are on our way to see her. Uh, these are for her. This one’s for her. And this one’s for Tripp and Wendy. Oh! What, uh, what are they celebrating? Haven’t you heard? What? Yeah, they, uh, they got caught up in something that had nothing to do with them. They were held hostage. What? Yeah, it was a close call, but they were rescued by Steve and John, and now they’re in the hospital recovering.

Well, you know, it actually sounds like there weren’t three miracles, but there were four. Four? Yeah. Because you have Mama’s miraculous recovery, Lonnie being free, and then Wendy and Tripp, and Abe. Hey, what about Abe? He, uh, he got his memory back. What? Yeah. When did that happen? Uh, right after Mama’s heart started beating again, and now he says he remembers everything.

Wow. I mean, what a relief that must be for Abe, and Paulina, and, and your entire family. Yeah, and you had a lot to do with it. All those hours you worked with him, they really paid off. Well, I think you’re giving me too much credit. Really, you all did an amazing job. You were so supportive and encouraging.

Wow. I mean, for somebody to get their memory back like that’s so sweet. Suddenly and completely? That is very unusual. Yeah. It seems like everything about yesterday was unusual.

Her blood gases look good. Are her lungs still clear? You know, I really can’t hear anything if you’re talking. Sorry. Um, I take it that you looked at her chart? I did, yeah. And your own?

Man, they say that doctors are the worst patients, but you are in a league all your own. Have you met this one? Ah, from the family. Definitely. Are you supposed to be out of bed? No, he isn’t. No, but Tripp and I are feeling much better today. That’s what we like to hear. Yeah, but I would like to hear it from the actual doctor who’s on duty, if that’s okay.

How are they doing? Uh, well, they’re Levels are good and they’re stable. They definitely look a lot better than when they came in. Great. Yeah, well, Wendy, these are for you. Oh, beautiful. Thank you so much. Yeah, open them over here. Wow, look at this arrangement. Lovely. Yeah, from my mom. Oh. Uh, Kayla, if you have a minute, I’d love to chat with you about something.

Sure. Yeah, of course. Okay, we’ll be back in a few. Okay. So, Your mom was already here this morning, huh? Was she here to spin her side of the story? Dad, I know you’re angry. Okay, I am too. But, Clyde dragged her into this. She had no choice. Trip, People died because of those tainted drugs she was running through the bistro.

You and Wendy could have died.

Mom was trying to protect us. Okay, she begged us to leave Salem. She wanted us to move to China when Wendy’s family wanted us to. But I couldn’t leave her here to let her deal with this on her own. Hold on. You knew your mom was involved in that drug operation? Since when? Answer me, Tripp. How long have you known and why didn’t you tell me?

I guess we’re not gonna tell the kids about Lexi. They wouldn’t believe us. That my first wife appeared to us from the afterlife. And miraculously healed us both. Well, I may have had a few drugs in me and you’re still on the mend from a traumatic brain injury. But I am quite sure, quite sure that you and I both didn’t imagine the same thing.

Thank you. But, I wonder Go on, go on. I, uh, I wonder if you’re getting back some memories of me. Might cause you to, uh, to wonder why you’re with me. What? Well, you, you’re, you’re remembering all the lies I told, right? All the problems I’ve caused. Yes. Let me tell you something, Mayor Price Carver. You are a complicated, amazing woman.

And most people have never had what I’ve had once, let alone twice. And I can’t, I just can’t wait to spend the rest of these years making new memories with you. Hmm. Yeah. Uh, thank you. No, I appreciate it.

Well? The FBI approved my status change to part time special agent. So now I get to consult with the DOJ. They gave me everything that I asked for and more. Ah. That’s because you are the best. Hmm, I’m so proud of you. Oh, now you know what that means. More money, and I get to spend more time with you and our precious twins.

And less time in harm’s way. Yeah, if I take the job. Wait, what? Eli, this is everything that you’ve always wanted. Except it’s in DC. I mean now that we’re back at home with family. I don’t know how I feel about leaving. You?

I don’t know either.

Dad the reason I didn’t tell you about mom’s situation is because I knew you would go ballistic and I know that’s not an excuse. I just I I’m, sorry, you’re right. That’s not an excuse But i’m not mad at you I’m angry with your mother. And I understand why you’re defending her. Because you’re a good son.

I’m just grateful you’re both okay. Son, I was scared. I was so scared when I couldn’t get you to breathe. And I know I broke your rib. I felt a crack. I’m sorry. No, it was a minor crack, okay? It’ll heal quickly. Listen, you did everything right. I’m sorry. It’s very common for someone’s rib to get cracked when you’re using the force that’s needed for CPR.

You saved my life, so a sore rib is a very small price to pay. I’m so grateful for you. I love you, buddy. I love you, too. Oh,

my darling. You know, I, I still, I still feel like, well, like, I’m in a dream. Sitting here with my husband, who now has, has his memories back. And, uh, most of them with me are, Beautiful and perfect, right? You’re suppressing the ones that aren’t. Definitely, definitely. No, seriously, seriously, Abraham. I, I’ve dreamed of this for so many months, though.

Having you back. 100%.

Oh, I’m now, oh my god. Thank Lexi. We will be making many, many more beautiful and perfect memories together.

Hey. Hi. There they are. The sweet bits. Yeah. I hope we’re not interrupting. No, we actually were just on our way to go see your mom down the hall. Yeah. Hey, Chanel. Johnny. Hey, you guys. Hey, it’s good to see you both. Yeah, we’re so glad to see that you’re doing okay. Well, we’ll let your kids visit. Do you need anything from home?

Either one of you? No. Thank you. I’ve, uh, got everything I need right here. Me too. All right. Well, we’ll see you all later then. Bye bye. Later. Thanks for everything. Yeah. So, Chanel, how’s your mom doing? Well, the past few weeks have been really rough on her, which is an understatement. But, um, now she’s, she’s doing much better.

Oh, that’s great to hear. Yeah. And you, uh, looks like you’ve kept up with the dangerous capers, your new partner in crime. New and improved. Yeah, well, this most recent caper was definitely one for the ages, but we’re fine, thank God. You’re welcome. Chanel, is that a wedding ring? Oh, yeah, yeah, it is. Johnny and I actually got married in my mom’s hospital room on Valentine’s Day.

Congratulations! Oh my god, you guys! Yeah, husband and wife, huh? Yeah, you know, for better, for worse, etc, etc. Oh, that is such great news. I’m so happy for you. You’re here. Congratulations.

I always knew you two would wind up together. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. So? It would seem as though we are all exactly where we belong. Well.

I don’t know if I’ve said it often enough or loud enough or even at all, but Kayla, Steve, thank you for all that you’ve done for us. Letting Abe stay with you while he was trying to figure things out and reintroducing him to the life he lived before the accident. And not to mention the Wonderful medical attention you gave us, Kayla.

Mm hmm. Well, you know, I’m not sure that it was the medical attention that cured Paulina or got your memory back. And guess what? You’ve thanked us more than enough. Oh, no, no, no, no. Never, never enough. You are our great and gracious friends. And I appreciate your, your kindness and your hospitality. But you are losing me as a house guest.

So, does this mean you’re moving back in with your lovely wife? Well, if, if she’ll have me. Let me think about it. Oh, I think, okay. I think I can put up with you again. Are you sure about that? Yes, yes, I am sure. If you can, you know, think you can put up with me again, smothering you with all the love and attention, you think that you can handle that?

Well, I look forward to it. And the reciprocating. Well, as sorry as we are to lose you as a roommate, we are so thrilled for both of you, really. Hey, and how about To make the transition easier for us, you come to dinner as soon as you’re out of the hospital. Ah, great idea. We’ll have just a big celebration.

Champagne, confetti, the works. Oh, honey, honey, we are there. Let’s just hope it’s soon. Oh, gosh, yes, of course. I am so happy for all my friends. Wow, wow, wow. Amazing. Love you guys.

Wow, another wedding. What do you mean, another one? Well, um, Before Dr. Horton and your parents came in, we were talking about last night. About what we remembered, and Oh, it’s my mom. Well, she obviously got my voicemail. No, I’m gonna go. Please don’t.

Why

Cher? The Cher

Shut? Mama

Does she just hang up on you? Yeah, sort of. She’s mad that she heard about my near death experience from the news, not accounting for the time difference or my being unconscious, but arguing with her would’ve gotten me nowhere. So she was probably just worried about you. Especially what happened to your brother.

I mean, your parents would be devastated if something happened to you. No, I know.

When Johnny was talking about our old capers, it made me realize I’ve been scared before. I’m never as scared as I was last night. But at the same time,

I never felt as safe as I did in your arms.

These are for the staff. A variety of croissants and donuts. I didn’t steal one of these before anybody else gets to them. Go for the almond croissant. I will go for the almond croissant. Thank you so much. Also, hey, I was thinking about what you guys said earlier about, um, a honeymoon and not wanting to go.

so much. Super far away. Mm hmm. You could always honeymoon at the Horton Cabin. I mean, it’s not a 5 star hotel, let me tell you that much, but it is private and very cozy. Well, private and cozy sounds pretty good to me. Uh, if you’re sure. No, I’m sure. I wouldn’t have offered otherwise. Okay. Uh, well then, what do you say, Chanel?

I say that as soon as we get mama home and all settled in, then let’s do it. Oh, Lonnie. Oh, I was hoping that would be my surprise. Those little angels or my beautiful grandbabies. We’re all Too excited to see their grandma running around this room like, like little chickens with their head cut off and crying when I don’t let them jump on the bed with you.

Well, I love seeing them running around. Oh, y’all don’t even mind all these little Goldfish cracker crumbs in my bed. I was just thrilled to have some time with our precious Jules and Carver. All right. Well, Carver and Jules are at the park with Grandma Julie, who was kind enough to meet me there. Well, I was hoping that they could, you know, could have stayed a little bit longer, but maybe you’ll bring them back later.

Definitely. Well, I do, I admit. I’m very envious of great grandma Julie getting to babysit those sweethearts. But when I finally get to go home, you’re gonna have to let this grandma make up for you lost time with those two. Well, well, why don’t you say anything, Lonnie? Look, you don’t want me to babysit them.

No, no, Mom. No, that is not what I said. That’s not it at all. I mean, if we were going to stay here in Salem, then yes, you would get to watch them all the time. If you were going to stay in Salem? I guess dad didn’t tell you about Eli’s potential job offer in D. C.? You did not? I didn’t think you needed to know.

Because Lonnie said it was only a Potential job offer. Okay, so Tell me now It would be a great opportunity for Eli mama, but We know that you love having us here in Salem, and we love being here But, you’re going. Only if you will truly be happy for us, Mama. And if not, we’ll stay here. But, you just, you say the word.

Oh, no, no, no. Don’t, don’t put this on me. Mama, we mean it. If you don’t want us to go Of course But, oh, okay.

Kay, I know you have to do what’s right for your family. I just, you know, hope you have a guest room there in D. C. Cause when I finally get that green light to travel I’ll be there as often as I can. You’ll be just sick to death of me. Never. Are we interrupting something? What’s going on? We’re starving.

What’s going on? Where have you two been? Oh, we just took a little detour. Three, two, one. What are you doing? Just waiting for someone else to barge in, or the phone to ring, or a nurse to come and check our vitals. Yeah. I think that we might actually be safe. It might just be you and me. For one minute, at least.

Oh, well, then we’ve been working a lot.

Now, uh, where were we? What were we talking about? Oh, um. Well, we were talking about what we thought we remembered from our ordeal in the beer tank, you know. When we were struggling to breathe. Right. So I thought I remembered. But I was so out of it, who knows. Tell me what you remember.

Okay. I will.

Trip, did you really propose to me last night?

Jules and Carver were here. They were indeed. Your very adorable niece and nephew. Yeah, okay, very adorable and very rambunctious. Eli had to whisk them away and drop them off with a Julie. Ah, well, we’ll see them later.

Sorry to interrupt. Oh, no, no, no. You are not interrupting. When can I go home, Sarah? Well, your blood work is still looking great and your incision is healing nicely. So if you keep on this path, you may be discharged as early as tomorrow. What about today? She drives a tough bargain. You still have to follow up with your oncologist and your endocrinologist.

So the whole ordeal isn’t quite over yet. But The end is most definitely in sight.

Hey John, give me a call man. We need to talk about the fallout from Weston’s escape.

Hey, lover. Okay, I’m ready to go. I was just in with the most amazing patient who is making an excellent recovery, so Ah. What’s going on? Just Clyde Weston’s escape from prison. It’s still eating at me. I mean, not only did Tripp and Wendy suffer through that ordeal because of him. My God, that monster killed our niece.

Kidnapped you and Joe. And he’s out there somewhere planning God knows what. Yeah, no doubt. Well, you know what? He is going to be found and brought back to prison. It’s just a matter of time. Yeah, well, that son of a bitch better damn well hope that the police get him before I do.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning. You are at my place. Remember? I brought you here last night. Yeah. Yeah. I slept on the couch. Sorry, I took your bed. No, don’t pee. I didn’t hear a peep out of you all night. I assume you got some rest. Yeah. Good. How you feeling? Like I got hit by a truck. Coffee smells really good though. And fresh algae.

You’re spoiling me. That’s what friends are for.

That was really tough to see. I know. Our beloved home in ashes and cinders. It was a blow, a blow to all of us. Well, the blessing is that you all made it out alive. Absolutely. But what kind of a criminal, what kind of a sociopath sets fire to a house with, with innocent people inside? The worst kind. Look, I just really hope that this investigation produces some solid leads.

I’m not holding my breath. But we’re moving forward. Yeah. Gonna restore, repair, rebuild, refurbish. I’m excited about that. So tell me, what’s up with this mysterious time capsule? Oh, the message from my grandparents. It’s great, but we have no idea what the message is. I’m sure they didn’t intend for us to find out by setting the house on fire.

So, what do you think will happen first? The house will get finished or you’ll find the key to this time capsule? Time will tell. Tell me some more about Polina. Yep, she does not need a heart transplant, really. They’re keeping under close surveillance, but no, it’s a miracle. It’s a do over. Abe got his memory back.

Yes, yes, you should see Abe. I mean, he is practically dancing on air. His smile, it could light up a city. Always could. Yeah. I mean, we go back a long way, and Speaking of Abraham and Paulina, you know what they just love? They love having you and Lonnie and the twins around. I love that so much. Do you suppose there’s any chance in the world that you would move back to Salem?

Um, sorry, Grandma, but No. It’s not gonna happen.

Those are so delicious. Thank you for making these again for the kids. They couldn’t get enough of them, and neither could I. You know, creating culinary delights is one of my great joys. Be careful. You might get a permanent job here. Fortunately, it would be a lot easier, though, I think. One house has been filled to the brim with guests.

Oh, I love it. It’s wonderful to have all four children running around. It makes me feel like a real papu. I always hoped for grandchildren. Alas, it was never meant to be.

I’m so sorry about your daughter, Constantine. What a terrible tragedy. You know, it is not true what they say that time heals all wounds. Not for me. You see, I miss her more, not less, as time goes on.

Thank you, Nora. Are you sure that you’re up for this? What, breakfast with Eric? Yeah, why wouldn’t I be? Well, you’ve been through so much with Steve lately. Um, I don’t know. How are you sleeping? Not well as I understand. You still having those nightmares?

They’re getting worse, in fact. I’m not too surprised. Having to save Wendy and Tripp from that tank. Bring them back from the From the edge of death.

Not to give anybody nightmares, I’m I’m imagining that triggered a lot of your own bad memories. Yeah, it did, it did. And you know what, I’d rather not talk about it right now, is that okay? Sure. Anytime you’re ready. I’ll let you know, okay? Sure. Let’s not keep Eric waiting.

Well, how is my grandson doing? Oh, you’re talking about the most beautiful kid in the world? That is the one. He’s been fantastic. He’s holding his head up now. Like a champ. Hey, thank you for your help with Lucas. Yeah, of course. So is there any chance of him coming out of hiding soon? Well, your guess is as good as mine, but, uh, with Clyde out of prison, I’d rather he just stay put.

Yeah, I can’t believe Clyde escaped. I mean, how could that even happen? With a whole lot of serious help from outside. Missing Salem Dr. Tripp Johnson and Salem Police Tech Specialist Wendy Shin rescued at Salem’s Old Brewery on the outskirts of the city. Thank God. Kidnapper identified but nowhere to be found.

An investigation is underway to determine whether the incident is linked to the Statesville prison escape of notorious criminal Clyde Weston. Son of a bitch. Like

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

So, any news on Tripp and Wendy? Well, I was at the hospital earlier. And? And, they’re doing pretty well, all things considered. You know, we got there just in time, I implied. Leaving them to die, and then that crooked cop. I mean, Goldman fooled everybody. I swear to God, if I ever get my hands on either one of them, I am going Get in line.

What about, what about the manhunt? Any news on, um, where our modern day Bonnie and Clyde might be? Not that anyone’s shared with me. And that escape. I mean, Clyde, he had to have outside help, but I don’t think Goldman could have pulled it off alone. Do you think Stephan had something to do with this?

Stephan? Why would you think that? I mean, we both know Clyde had Stephan under his thumb. Yeah. Um.

I don’t think that, um, Steppen had anything to do with it. I mean, and besides, I mean, what is he going to know about pulling off a prison break, huh?

All right, you know, time to take your pills. Oh, okay. Thank you, Nurse Nightingale. Yeah, wait, wait, wait. Nurse Nightingale, really? Yeah, I had to, uh, read, uh, her biography. I think it was, uh, sixth grade. I don’t know, something just Stuck with me about her story. You know, she was a strong, empowered woman. It was a compliment.

I took it as such. Now stop stalling and take your meds, Commander. Very good.

Grandma, I was waiting to tell you this, but I got a promotion. A promotion? A big one. A lot more responsibility. I’ll be working with the FBI and the DOJ. Which means I’ll be doing a lot more traveling, domestically and internationally. Is this something you want? Absolutely. Yes. Oh, my beautiful, brave grandson.

I’m so incredibly proud of you. Thank you. But I’m proud of you. I mean, the way you’ve been handling this house fire, you’re incredibly strong. The way you handle everything, you’re so brave. It’s the family that makes me brave. Oh, darling. Go tell Doug about this promotion. Oh, this is so funny.

Your compassion touches me.

I, I, I know what it’s like to lose a child. I’ve lost two, as you know. But you still have your wonderful Sarah. Yeah, she’s a blessing. Yes. Although I do think I interfere in her life too much. I, uh, I focus too much on her. Yeah. Now that her sister and brother are gone. Well, I doubt that. Sarah adores you.

Then again, who doesn’t?

What are you thinking? Oh,

I’m just, you know, I’m, I’m reminded of, um, the power of touch. Um, I’ve read a lot of articles lately about how important it is for everyone later, you know, in their later years. That touch can be the most powerful ways to communicate emotion.

I’m grateful to you, Constantine, and not just for the comfort of our hands touching, but also all the stories that you told me about Victor, and then the latest story about your daughter. Katerina,

you’ve touched my heart. Oh, you have touched me as well, Maggie. I cherish our friendship.

I cherish you. You

are a very special woman, Maggie. Well, I’m, I’m, uh, I’m grateful that I’m special in your eyes. However, I must be honest. As much as I’ve tried to fight it, as much as I hoped that this guilt would eventually subside, it hasn’t.

Constantine being close to another man, to someone other than my husband, my late husband at that, I feel Like it’s a betrayal. I feel like I’m betraying Victor.

Maggie, did you not tell me that Victor loved you deeply, unselfishly? So, why would he want you to continue in life without being cherished?

Victor not want you to be happy?

Did I hurt, oh, did I hurt you? No. No. No, it only hurts, uh, when I move. Talk or breathe. Not when you snore. Wait, don’t do that. Don’t make me laugh. That hurts. Sorry. What are you doing? Oh God. It’s okay. It’s as good as any nurse at the hospital. So thank you. I really appreciate it. Yeah. I Thank you. You have to take that.

Might be a trip. Uh, hello? Can you talk? Uh, well, I’m in the middle of something right now. Well, wrap it up as soon as you can. We need to meet face to face. Okay. When? One hour. I’ll be at my office, waiting. Okay, good. I will, uh, I’ll see you then. Okay, I am going to go meet Steve and we’re going to go visit Tripp together.

So, um, you’re going to be okay for a few hours by yourself? I made it this far. Yeah. Call me if you need anything, alright?

Oh, um, I’m so happy you both made it. Hey, so are we. Hey, hey. Buddy. Please, join us. It is great to be celebrating something positive for a change. And, we do have a lot to celebrate. Yes, we do. Matter of fact, last night when we were getting ready to go to bed, Abe called. I mean, that voice sounded just like the Abe we’ve all known and loved for all these years.

Yeah, he left me a message, and you could hear it in his voice how relieved he was to be himself again. Yeah. I’ve checked on Paulina. She’s doing amazingly well. Just blessings and miracles. Yes, and now a christening of our own little blessing and miracle. Jude Verdi. You know, Joan and I would love to host a little celebration after the ceremony, if that’s alright with you.

That’s very thoughtful, Mom. But Nicole’s already offered to host a party at the DiMera mansion. Oh. I hope that’s okay. I’m just surprised. No, I think it’s a great idea. It’s larger than the townhouse. Alright, any, any thoughts about godparents? Yes, actually. Sloan, she asked Melinda Trask to be godmother.

Really? Well, they’ve gotten really close lately. I mean, she was the one who found Jude for us. Oh, of course. But I do plan on asking Brady to be Godfather. Oh, that’s nice. I’m sure he’ll be stoked about that. Yeah, I hope so. John, you look beat. I don’t know, why wouldn’t you? Trip, Wendy, damn. That was some rescue.

Yeah, you’re a real hero, John. No, no, no, no, no hero here. Far from it. You know, I have been meaning to ask you, with that beautiful red mane of yours, are you of Irish descent? Hmm? Actually, I have no idea. My parents, um, they died when I was quite young. I grew up on a farm and I never knew any of my other biological relatives.

My main name is Simmons. Um, it could be Irish, I guess. Or Welsh. Or Scottish. Definitely Anglo Saxon. Yeah. Well, maybe I should have my DNA tested. Oh, , be careful. You never know who you might end up having as a relative. I myself believe I am a descendant of Les and the, the son of Zeus, the, the king of Gods.

Um, but then again, I, I could be a descendant of Hades and we know who He’s the ruler of . Well, although wherever we’re descendant from you and I. It doesn’t affect anything, does it? I mean, you can’t change the past. No, you can’t change it.

Sometimes there is something in our past that is so foul, we will never ever forget it.

Yes, send the arrangement to Paulina Price. The mayor, yes. And sign the card. Um, nothing but goodness and love. Maggie Kiriakis. That’s right. Thank you. Is your friend allowed to have flowers now? Oh yeah, she is. And she happens to love orchids. Oh my goodness! Come in! Have you had breakfast? Oh, we have blueberry muffins and sweet bits.

Mmm, well then come and sit down. Oh no, I can’t. I’m actually here just to pack our things. We leave this afternoon. Oh, you’re leaving so soon? Well, he has to because he has a wonderful new job. Tell him, tell him about the promotion. Tell. Well, for one, I’ll be spending a lot more time on international cases.

Impressive. With whom? Uh, the FBI. I’m a federal agent. Yes, he’s been a federal agent for a long time, but he’s done so well that he has been moved up. And he is going to have a new job with a great deal of promotion. Power and responsibility. He’s gonna rid the whole world of evil. Okay, Grandma. Anyone can do it.

You can’t, Eli.

You know, maybe Jude can wear the same christening gown that you wore when you were a baby. You still have it? Of course I do. It’s in a, in a bin in the basement. I’ll make sure I pull it out. Oh. Hey! Wow, looky here. Steve, sit, join us. We’re helping Harry plan Jude’s christening. Oh, well, you know, I’d love to join in on that, but, um, actually I saw John’s car outside.

We have a couple of things to discuss about a case. You mind if I borrow him for an hour or two? No, just return him in one piece. Hey, Steve, we’ll see you at the christening moment. I wouldn’t miss it.

So what’s up? Ava’s meeting us at the office in 20 minutes.

I trust you, Ava. I do, but dammit, you’re up to something. I know you are.

Grandma, it takes a hell of a lot more than one person to rid the world of evil. Don’t sell yourself short. You wouldn’t have this responsibility if you weren’t the best of the best. Okay. Spoken like a true loving and biased grandmother. You have made your family very proud, Eli. I I must be going. It was lovely to meet you and your lovely wife and children.

And, uh, I have to make a call to Greece before it’s too late in the evening.

We heard about Paulina’s recovery. Abe must be over the moon. He is. Uh, Lonnie, Schnell, I mean, we all are. Yeah. And I heard about Abe, too. He remembers everything. He does. It sucks that we can’t spend more time with them, but with this new job, I gotta get back to D. C. Yeah. But I’m thrilled that we’re leaving happy and not heartbroken.

Thank God. Thank you again, Maggie, for taking a sit. We really appreciate it. That’s Maggie’s new occupation. She’s running the Kiriakis Mansion bed and breakfast for displaced loved ones. Hey, hey, I am delighted with this new occupation. And I’m so happy that you came back, all of you. Please, I love being surrounded by family.

Come on, Rafe, nothing? Seriously, no leads? I mean, what about past hideouts or places Clyde used to visit? Okay, okay, just please call me if there’s any news. Thank you.

Well, there she is. Okay, let’s make this quick. I want to check in on Tripp and then I got some things I need to take care of. Then let’s get down to work. Okay. Yeah, speaking of which, after that stunt you pulled, we’re just lucky no one’s on to us. Everyone assumes Officer Goldman engineered Weston’s escape.

What he has over her, I can’t imagine. Oh, well, from what it looked like at the airfield, she’s his girlfriend. What? I didn’t see that coming. Okay, okay, okay, did you see anything else? I mean, did they say or do anything that would indicate where they’re headed or what their plans are? No, no, nothing, okay?

Just that monster was taunting me about my son being dead. Oh, my God. You realize that we’re in this mess because we trusted you, right? We didn’t expect you to stab us in the back. Okay, you know what? Get off your high horse, both of you, okay? You double crossed me first. The original plan was we were going to bust Weston out of prison and then let him go, so I just went back to the original plan.

Besides, We had no choice. There’s always a choice. Okay, well, you know what? Weston’s in the wind now. Nothing we can do. That doesn’t make it okay.

I can’t do this, man. We gotta make this right. I can’t live with myself. Knowing that SushiPath is out there destroying people’s lives because of us. I’m with you. You know, just a mere fact that we assisted in a prison escape. We scratched that. We didn’t assist in anything. We made it happen. No, it’s wrong.

It’s wrong. And it’s not what we do. Oh, so holier than thou. Okay, you know what? We have all three done things that we are not proud of. Okay? Some really bad things. Yeah, some really bad things. But those things are in the past. Not the past. John.

You okay?

Alright, the car’s all packed up. I’m picking Lonnie and the twins up at the hospital. Oh my goodness, it was wonderful to see you all. Please, please come back soon. I will, and you know I’m going to keep sending you pictures. You’d better. Grandma.

So proud of you. Just about to burst. And so happy. That your family’s all united and, and you know that’s the way it should be. Yeah, so am I. I love you. I love you. See you later. Bye.

Oh, oh Maggie. Uh, I know you have a million people living in this house right now, but without Eli and his family it’s gonna be a, an empty place for me and

Do I sound silly? Not at all. I know what it’s like to live in a house full of people. And still feel lonely.

Fatherhood looks good on you. Well, I’m fulfilled. It’s just, you know, June and I have an amazing connection and I just, I just really love that feeling. I’m so glad to hear that. Sloane, how is she? Um What? What did I miss? Go ahead, tell Dad. I had supper at their house a little while back and She got bombed.

Sloane got ways to that. Look, it isn’t so crazy unusual. I mean, she’s got a very taxing, demanding job. But she’s trying to be a perfect mom. What else is there? Well, I, it’s just sometimes I think she gets jealous of Jude. Oh. Have you two had that conversation? Yeah, I tried to explain it to her. It’s, I just, okay, maybe I am a bit obsessed with Jude.

I mean, I hate letting him cry or being apart from him. I understand that. Yeah, have I ever thanked you too? For what? Just being amazing parents, to me, you know. For being loving and so kind. You made it so easy, you always have. And you have thanked us. Many, many times in fact. But, Always nice to hear.

Voicemail. Again. Stefan! Quit blowing me off, okay? You call me, or you fine me. If you don’t, you’re not gonna like what I’m gonna do.

Right, no one but the three of us can ever know that we were behind the prison break. Oh yeah? Well, there’s still the issue of your mob pals helping us out. Okay, don’t worry about it. I’ll take care of it. You keep saying that, Ava. But what’s it really gonna cost you? Whatever the price is, it is worth it because we saved our son.

Okay? Are we done here? For now. I’m going back to the hospital. Alright, I’ll head out with you. You coming, John? I’ve got a few things I need to follow up on here. Okay. You take it easy, man. Yeah, you too.

I need to see you. Copy to Oblige, where are you? Black Patch. I’ll be right there.

Hey, what’s up with John? Not sure what you mean. Really? Okay, well, you know, you know him a lot better than I do, but sometimes it seems like he just checks out. Yeah, well, I’ve known John for over 30 years, and sometimes he’s a mystery even to me. Yeah, right. Okay. Um, hey, you know, uh, By the way,

You know when you pulled Trip out of the beer tank, and he wasn’t breathing, I, uh, I just about stopped breathing too. But we brought him back. No, you didn’t. You did, so thank you. I am incredibly grateful to you, and I just hope that you know that. I do. And hey, we, we got Wendy to thank too for being smart with that sign language.

Yeah, she’s a very smart, smart young lady, that’s for sure. Look, look, I know, I know that you, you disapprove of the way that I handle things. Okay, no, forget that. It’s an understatement. You, you, you hate the way I handle things, but look, I just need you to know that the safety trip was the only thing that was on my mind.

Okay, hey, boo. I didn’t mean to drag you into this mess, you know that, right? But if you had just trusted me, maybe John and I could have saved him. Without letting Weston go. Yeah, or maybe not.

Okay. Agree to disagree. You’re going to the hospital. Yeah, maybe a little later. I just have a few things I need to check on at the house first.

Been a while since I’ve caught up with you. So, as they say in New Jersey, How you doing?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: Hey. Here you are.

Heather: Hi. That took, uh, that took a little longer than I thought.

Daniel: Yeah. [Sighs]

Heather: How did lily take the news that we’re back together? Was it too difficult to tell her? Because in a way, I would understand if it was. Even lucy was a little bit afraid of that because you’re such a nice guy. She was worried that you wouldn’t be okay hurting her and that you wouldn’t be able to go through.

Daniel: Lucy… was worried, or…were you?

Devon: Hey. Welcome back. Why didn’t you tell me you’re coming home? I would’ve got you from the airport.

Lily: How could you not tell me about daniel and heather?

[Scoffs]

Audra: [Hums] Hmm. Oh, definitely.

[Knock on door]

[Sighs] Mm, I was hoping it would be you. Mwah!

Tucker: Well…

Audra: You know, I… I know we’re not leaving right this second, but why not get a head start, right? What do you think?

[Chuckles]

Tucker: Very nice.

Audra: Oh, you know what? I’m probably packing too much. I know I’m packing too much, especially with the shopping in paris. It’s just so unbelievable. But I just want to be ready for every little thing. Oh, and you won’t believe it. I managed to get us reservations at that ultra romantic restaurant with the view of the eiffel tower.

Tucker: Audra, I… would not have made those reservations just yet.

Audra: Uh, why not?

Tucker: We have to postpone the trip.

Abby: I am actually officially on the board at chancellor-winters. I mean, I was a little worried it wasn’t gonna happen when jill made some noise, but the vote was unanimous– even jill. She wants as many abbots as she can get, even after amanda implied that I might not get approved.

Ashley: That’s nice.

Abby: You know, I love society. I love everything it’s become. I loved building it, but I didn’t realize how much I missed the corporate world. I feel so energized, like I’m ready to make a difference.

Ashley: So nice.

Abby: You said that already.

Ashley: I said what?

Abby: “That’s nice.” [Scoffs]

Ashley: Well, it is nice, isn’t it? I mean, you’re on the board at chancellor-winters. You’re exactly where you want to be, and it’s nice.

Abby: And your head is somewhere else.

Ashley: I am right here having a lovely lunch with my daughter.

Abby: A million miles away.

Ashley: I’m right here. Promise.

Abby: You know, mom, I don’t know what’s been going on with you lately, but you know you can talk to me about anything. Unless… please tell me you’re not thinking about tucker.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Ashley: I think that the only one that’s got tucker on the brain is you.

Abby: I’m concerned about you, mom. I really am.

Ashley: Well, you don’t have to be, okay? Because I’m over him for good.

Abby: And I wanna believe that.

Ashley: You can start believing right now. You need to move on, and no more threatening him.

Abby: How would you know about that unless you saw him last night?

Ashley: I’m saying in general, you’ve made it clear that you don’t want tucker anywhere near me, dominic, or devon. You’ve been very vocal about that.

Abby: Hmm.

Ashley: So you threatened him last night?

Abby: I went to his suite, and I told him that he needed to stay away from you.

Ashley: [Scoffs]

Abby: And if he didn’t, there’d be hell to pay.

Ashley: I wish you hadn’t done that.

Abby: You can’t stop me from trying to protect you.

Ashley: I can take care of myself, abby, please.

Abby: Not where tucker’s concerned.

Ashley: So, what else did you say?

Abby: Well, it was bizarre. Tucker seems to think that you’re just pretending to forgive him, and then you’re gonna suddenly, I don’t know, turn it around and screw him over. That’s crazy, right?

Ashley: Ridiculous. Guess what? I want us to consider the topic of tucker mccall officially closed forever.

[Snaps fingers]

Abby: Okay.

Ashley: Promise?

Abby: Just to be clear…

Ashley: Hmm?

Abby: You’re not softening towards tucker, are you? I mean, he’s out of your life forever, right?

Ashley: You know what? I cannot rehash this. We have been over this a million times. Let’s talk about you. Thank you. It is your first day on the board of directors at chancellor-winters, right? I’m sure devon was very excited to be able to be working with you.

Abby: Well, yeah. I mean, it was only the first day, but chancellor-winters– it’s just, it’s wonderful. The energy there is contagious…

Ashley’s voice: Ugh. Ashley’s daughter is such a pain in the ass. The questions, the questions, questions about tucker…

Abby: It is kind of a weird dynamic…

Ashley’s voice: And when it’s not about him, it’s all…

[Mockingly] “Me, me, me.”

Abby: …Really working through it. I think that…

Ashley’s voice: Can’t wait until I’ve cleaned up this mess, and ashley can come back to deal with her nosy, irritating daughter and her nosy, irritating family.

Abby: …Really just…

Audra: Postpone the trip? Why? What’s happened?

Tucker: The financial director of one of the companies we’re acquiring has some family crisis that precludes her from being able to meet for at least a month.

Audra: Okay, so one person isn’t available.

Tucker: And the operations director of one of the factories broke his leg and his arm, skiing, and laid up for a month in the hospital.

Audra: Okay, so two people are not available. That’s not enough reason to cancel the entire trip. I mean, after all, you know, paris isn’t just about business.

Tucker: That’s true. That’s very true. But… [Sighs]

Audra: Oh, but what?

Tucker: [Sighs] It just, it seems foolish to make two trips. One of the main reasons we’re going is to see how these companies operate firsthand, and we can’t really do that if two of the key players are out of commission.

Audra: Mm.

Tucker: So, let’s just– let’S…we’ll go. We’ll wait. A month. Six weeks.

Audra: You are totally lying. This is about ashley, isn’t it?

Devon: So you obviously know.

Lily: Yes, I know. I go to daniel’s apartment to surprise him, and I’m the one who gets surprised.

Devon: How are you doing?

Lily: How do you think I’m doing? Daniel and I chatted on the phone for months. We video chatted. He never said anything to me, and you knew about it, and you kept it from me.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: Please tell me you can do better than that.

Devon: I don’t know if I can. I… when I found out, daniel asked if I would let him be the one to tell you, and I said yeah. And then I made him promise that he would as soon as possible.

Lily: Oh, so should I thank you for that?

Devon: No. Listen, I hated keeping it from you, okay? He hated keeping it from you, too. But we were both worried that with everything you had going on, we didn’t wanna overwhelm you when you were trying to be there for mattie.

Lily: You know, I know that you are trying to protect me, and I am trying really hard to be mature and rational about this, but I really just wanna scream and slap daniel in the face, and maybe you, too.

Hey! Asthma’s

got you going through it?

Lily: It’s not like I forgot that he and heather have a daughter and that they’re still a family.

Devon: Yeah, and having that connection to someone is very strong.

Lily: I know that, and I felt it when heather came to town. I did, and he didn’t want to admit it. You know? And so he’s– he’s telling me what happened, and he’s breaking up with me. And I’m thinking to myself, I get it. You know? I-I get it. He–he wants to have a family again. He’s doing this for lucy. And it’s like as hurt as I am, it makes sense in a way, you know?

Devon: It’s very understanding of you.

Lily: Yeah, and I’m– I’m proud of myself. And then I ask him… if he’s fallen back in love with heather.

[Sighs] And he tells me that… he actually never stopped loving her.

Devon: I’m sorry.

Lily: So, it wasn’t for lucy. It was for himself. It’s what he wanted. So, it’s like, what does that say about our relationship?

Devon: You know that I’m here for you. And if there’s anything I can do to make this easier for you and make you feel better, just tell me, and I’ll do it.

Lily: [Sighs] I know, and look, I’M… [Sighs] I’m sorry how I came in here. I’m not–I’m not angry at you. I’m not. [Sighs] I’m just…really… really sad. I thought what daniel and I had was special, you know? And… I guess I was wrong.

Daniel: I told lily everything. A lot harder than I thought it was gonna be, too, you know, with everything that she’s been dealing with the past few months, to… have to tell her that we’re over.

Heather: How did she take it?

Daniel: Pretty much how you’d expect her to. She was hurt, upset.

Heather: Well, I don’t blame her.

Daniel: She did say on some levels she wasn’t surprised.

Heather: Really?

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Heather: You seem… are you okay?

Daniel: Well, I may have been a little too honest with her.

Heather: What? I… what does that mean? I don’t understand.

Daniel: She asked me if I had fallen back in love with you.

Heather: What’d you say?

Daniel: I told her that… I never stopped loving you and that you and me getting back together, you know, this wasn’t just about being a family for lucy again, but it was about giving us another chance, since I ruined everything, and a real chance, now that I’m not an ass anymore. Although I don’t know if lily would be thinking that right now.

Heather: You’re a good man.

Daniel: Mm. Yeah, you know, I don’t know if she’d agree with you.

Heather: So, do you regret what’s happened?

Daniel: I regret that I hurt lily. But am I sorry that you and i reconnected and…that we have our entire future together? Not for one second.

Abby: There does seem to be some power plays going on, and it’s weird ’cause uncle billy is in the middle of it.

Ashley: That is so interesting. I have to get back to the lab, though.

Abby: Oh. Okay.

Ashley: I’m sorry. You know how I am when my creative juices get going. You know, I’m working on something that I’m so excited about.

Abby: What is it?

Ashley: And ruin the surprise? You’re just gonna have to wait like everybody else, okay?

Abby: Oh, okay. Yeah, I guess I should get back to the office–

Ashley: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’ll go get our coats.

Tucker: Audra, postponing paris has nothing whatsoever to do with ashley.

Audra: How do you expect me to believe that, okay? Especially after the show she put on last night? Her dramatic declaration that she’s gonna win you back, that she loves you. And that nobody, I.E. Me, is gonna get in her way of that.

Tucker: I don’t care what she declares or what she wants. I wanna go to paris with you. It’s just… now doesn’t seem like the right time, okay?

Audra: Okay, you promised me that you wouldn’t let her interfere with our trip.

Tucker: She’s not! This has nothing to do with her.

Audra: And yet, here we are, in genoa city with ashley, popping into your room whenever she pleases.

Tucker: Yeah, and you think I have control over what she does?

Audra: You can stop opening the door, stop answering her calls, stop responding to her texts…

Tucker: Okay.

Audra: …For starters. You know, or maybe you can be a little bit more convincing when you tell her you never wanna see her again.

Tucker: Audra, this has nothing to do with ashley. It’s purely a business decision. In fact, would you like to see emails outlining the problems with the european staff currently?

Audra: Oh, yeah, those just happened to come in today.

Tucker: Yes, they did.

Audra: I’m usually cc’d on all glissade-related correspondence. Why wasn’t I on these?

Tucker: I don’t know. You’ll have to ask them.

Audra: You know what? Maybe I will. Maybe they’ll give me a straight answer.

Tucker: What is it you want from me here?

Audra: The truth.

Tucker: Is this–is this how it’s gonna be between us? Every conversation we have devolves into an interrogation about ashley. I wanna be with you, audra, only you. I don’t know how many times I– and how many different ways I have to tell you before you believe it! And I know this. I spent months, months trying to convince her that I was trustworthy, only to have her endlessly tell me, “no, tucker, you can’t be trusted.” And if that’s the way this is gonna be, if it’s gonna be a repeat of that, count me out.

[Door slams]

Abby: Mom, I just wanna say that you seem good, strong, like you’ve put this whole tucker thing behind you.

Ashley: Thank you.

Abby: I just wanna say one more thing, and then we never have to talk about tucker again.

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Abby: Last night when devon and I saw you here, and you said that you weren’t going to see tucker, was that true?

Ashley: Are you ever gonna trust your mother?

Abby: [Sighs] It’s just… you were so determined to get devon to forgive his father, and I’m just afraid that you’re considering forgiving him yourself.

Ashley: That was for devon’s sake. Honestly, I just– I just wanted him to know that I’d made a mistake regarding his father and I– the argument we had in paris, okay? It was just to clear the air. That’s all.

Abby: Good. So, now we can officially stop talking about tucker.

Ashley: Promise?

Abby: I promise.

Ashley: Okay.

Abby: I love you.

Ashley: Love you. I’ll see you soon. Mwah.

Abby: Yes. Mwah.

[Whispers] Bye.

Ashley’s voice: My god, that was insufferable. If you only knew the things I do to protect you, ashley.

Ashley: Oh, you look angry. What’s wrong? Audra? Wowwww…

Tucker: What’s going on with you, ashley?

Ashley: I just had a very, very long lunch with my daughter.

Tucker: No, no, no. What’s going on inside your head? Help me understand.

Ashley: I thought I made myself clear last night.

Tucker: You…you really put on a hell of a show, didn’t you?

Ashley: I meant every word of it.

Tucker: Did you?

Ashley: I know you think I’m playing games.

Tucker: Maybe. But I have some other theories. Would you care to hear them?

Ashley: If it means getting to spend more time with you, then of course.

Tucker: I’m starting to suspect you don’t really know what it is you want or what you’re doing.

Ashley: Well, now you got my attention. Wanna go someplace private so we can discuss? Wanna go upstairs to your room so we can–

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Oh, right, ’cause audra wouldn’t like that. Does that really matter?

Tucker: What audra thinks matters to me, yes.

Ashley: What happened to paris, tucker? You should have been on your way by now.

Tucker: [Sighs] There were a few business hiccups.

Ashley: Right. I bet audra believes that as much as I do. You’re still in genoa city for another reason, something that’s much more important and much more interesting than taking some stupid trip to paris with audra, and we both know it.

[Footsteps approach] Hmm?

Tucker: You’re not you.

Ashley: I’ve never been more me.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s open for debate right now.

Ashley: Think you have all the answers, huh?

Tucker: Follow me.

Ashley: Nothing I’d rather do.

Audra: [Under breath] I’m so stupid.

[Sighs] Damn it!

[Sniffles and exhales deeply]

Lily: Guess I’m really batting a thousand in the romance department, aren’t I?

Devon: [Sighs] Just think that you haven’t found anyone that deserves you.

Lily: [Chuckles]

[Sighs] Spoken like a brother who loves me.

Devon: You know, you can take the day off and go home if you want to. Don’t need to be here.

Lily: No, no, no, no, no, no. I need to work. I need the distraction. Otherwise, I’m gonna go crazy.

Devon: Okay.

Lily: Um… [Sighs] What’s–what’s going on? Catch me up. You said that you and– and billy are having issues?

Devon: Yeah, we don’t need to talk about any of that. You’re going through what you’re going through.

Lily: No, no, no. I… I wanna know. I-I need to know. Unless it’s terrible news.

Devon: I don’t think I’d classify it as terrible, but it’s definitely not good. I told myself I was ok

Announcer: “The young and the restless” will continue. If you think you have dupuytren’s contracture,

Devon: On a positive note, chance is fitting in pretty well. He’s been mentored by billy, for better or worse.

Lily: Oh.

Abby: I wanted to get here a few minutes before the board meeting–

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Oh, my gosh! Hi!

Lily: Hi. [Laughs]

Abby: Oh. Welcome home.

Lily: Thank you.

Abby: How’s mattie?

Lily: She’s good, you know, back on track, so I’m really proud of her.

Abby: Oh, that’s great.

Lily: Yeah. Um, and you? Congratulations. You’re on the board. Very exciting.

Abby: Well, thank you. I look forward to working with you.

Lily: Yeah. Devon’s telling me about the office intrigues, so…

Abby: There’s no shortage of those, that’s for sure.

Lily: Yeah. So, what about billy? What’s he gonna do? Is he going back to jabot now that I’m back?

Devon: I wouldn’t bet on that, no, ’cause originally, I thought he was just here to fill in for you while you’re out of town, and he’s turned his time here into his own personal crusade to protect jill and her legacy from us and our family.

Lily: Is this still about adding abbott to the company name?

Devon: No, that’s just one of his many power plays. He’s on to a new one now.

Lily: Oh, yeah, well, he has lots of ideas, doesn’t he?

Devon: Well, this one’s mamie’s, actually. She wants to divide chancellor-winters again and keep the name the same but have the companies be two separate entities.

Sally: Oh! Ooh.

Audra: I’m so sorry.

Sally: No, it’s all good.

Audra: You know, I don’t think we’ve run into each other since the first time we met.

Sally: Yeah, no, it’s– it’s been a while.

Audra: Yeah.

Sally: I hear exciting things about glissade’s new lipstick line. It’s made all the editorial “best-ofs,” especially after falling off the radar for years. Do you have any big plans for new products?

Audra: You know, you just have to ask tucker. He’s making a lot of the decisions right now, so…

Sally: If I may be so bold, what is it like working with tucker mccall?

Audra: It’s probably no different than it is working with, uh, adam newman.

Sally: [Chuckles]

[Clicks teeth] Point taken.

Audra: [Whispers] Yeah.

Sally: Are you staying, or are you grabbing to go? Or just if you had some time, are you interested in maybe joining me for a coffee?

Audra: Sure. I’d like that. Nice to meet ya.

Audra: To both of us being fired from newman media and surviving.

[Clink]

Sally: Cheers. Yeah, working with the newmans can definitely be a nightmare, unless you are a newman.

Audra: Yeah, no kidding.

Sally: Yeah, when you’re involved with one of them, it makes for even more complications.

Audra: You and adam… I-I’ve seen you all around. Are you together now?

Sally: We are, yeah.

Audra: That’s great.

Sally: [Chuckles] Not many people would agree with you.Py?

Sally: Very. Yeah.

Audra: Well, that’s all that matters, and no matter how complicated it is.

Sally: Thank you for understanding that. What–what about you and tucker? I mean, if I may ask, are you guys just business partners?

Audra: Oh.

Sally: Or are you more?

Audra: Girl…more. Definitely more. Thank you for not looking appalled.

Sally: Hey, I get it. You know, we care for men that are all about breaking things and pushing the limits, not so much about winning popularity contests.

Audra: Well, let’s just say tucker’s not winning mine at the moment. I should be on a plane with him to paris right about now.

Sally: And you are having coffee with me. Hmm. Sorry. [Chuckles] What happened?

Audra: It was supposed to be business… and pleasure. But tucker claims that there are some issues with our associates in paris, so… just, we need to postpone the trip.

Sally: And you don’t believe that?

Audra: How well do you know his ex-wife?

Sally: Ashley abbot? Not very well. She told me off once years ago, but that’s really about it. Do you think there’s still something going on between them?

Audra: You know, I didn’t think so, but ashley did this 180, and now she wants tucker back, and she’s not keeping any secrets, you know? She straight up told me. Of course she did.

Sally: Wow. Well, what about tucker? I mean, what does he say?

Audra: He says he’s done with her for good. You know, but as much as I wanna believe that, I don’t think he is. So then the question is, is tucker worth fighting for? Or do I bail before things get ugly?

Ashley: Do you think it’s too early for a cocktail? I would kill for an old fashioned. Hey.

Tucker: Since when?

Ashley: Mm. I’m just full of surprises. You’re staring.

Tucker: See? Right there, that…that whole whatever that was, it’s not you.

Ashley: Maybe I’m the me that finally understands what she really wants, tucker.

Tucker: You… the ashley I know…

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: …Is subtle and understated, thoughtful. But the way you’ve been lately, like that display last night up in my suite, declaring your love for me in front of audra… there was something, um… reckless… and aggressive, dark.

Ashley: Mm. All qualities that you admire in yourself.

Tucker: You’re not me, are you?

Ashley: Well, maybe that’s the problem, right? Maybe I need to be a little bit more like you. Audra went on and on and on, blah, blah, blah, how she’s so much like you. And you know what? I’m willing to change. I mean, I’ll try if it’ll make you happy. I think it’s worth the effort. What? You are no fun.

Tucker: At first, I thought there was an end game to these antics of yours.

Ashley: [Scoffs]

Tucker: But now… I don’t know what’s going on with you.

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: And I’m pretty sure you don’t either.

Ashley: I’ve been very clear about what my end game is. It’s you.

Tucker: That right there. Me.

Ashley: Mm-hmm?

Tucker: You’ve hated me lately, despised me, couldn’t stand the sight of me, and now all of a sudden, love. I don’t buy it.

Ashley: You can’t possibly believe that I’m still trying to set you up, tucker, just so I can pull the rug out from under you. What would I have to gain?

Tucker: I don’t know.

Ashley: Okay. That’s what I’m trying to figure out. Maybe there’s nothing to figure out. Maybe I’m being sincere. Can’t you just go with that? I want wanna give you everything you wanted– you and me, the way we used to be.

Tucker: I saw something in your eyes… last night. And I’m seeing it right now. At first I thought it was doubt. I thought maybe… you felt regret that you were going down that path. But the more I think about it, the more I realize… it’s not doubt, is it? It’s confusion.

Ashley: And what would I possibly have to be confused about?

Tucker: That’s what I keep asking myself. And I don’t know the answer. But I’ve never been more convinced that something’s going on with you, ashley. Something’s off here.

Ashley: Oh, I see. Okay, that’s how you’re gonna play this. I get it, um, because you can’t admit to me or to yourself that you love me. Now you have to make it out like I’ve got mental health issues, just like you did in paris after that fight we had–

Tucker: Oh, don’t talk about paris. Can you blame me about that? Your recollection of the fight in paris had nothing to do with reality. Nothing. And that would be problematic coming from anyone, but from you, who has such a brilliant mind? If there’s something wrong, really wrong here, and if… I have any responsibility in it at all, I wanna help you. Question — what would you get with almost 750 bucks?

Lily: Billy and mamie wanna divide the company? We already went through this.

Devon: I know we did, and I’m sure he’s gonna be bringing it to the board for a vote. Has he reached out to you? Try and get your vote?

Abby: Let me guess. He’s for it. You’re against it?

Devon: Yeah. I’m very against it. I think it’s too much, too extreme, too reactive.

Abby: Well, I haven’t spoken to him, but once again, I am walking a tightrope between two families that I love.

Lily: I guess mamie really came to town determined to shake things up at chancellor-winters and get us out of jill’s orbit for good. What do you think?

Devon: Uh, I think that all hell’s about to break loose, and you probably came home at the best worst time possible.

Lily: [Scoffs] Yeah, tell me about it.

Heather: Gosh, that must have been so hard for lily after having been gone for so long, to walk in and find the three of us eating breakfast together and then to find out about us.

Daniel: Yeah. [Sighs] Well…

[Keys clink and clatter] Definitely threw her for a loop.

Heather: Do you think it’s gonna make things challenging at work?

Daniel: [Exhales deeply] Let’s say “interesting.” Yeah, let’s say that. But, you know, we’re all adults, so we’ll have to figure out a way to make it work. I don’t really wanna talk about this right now. I wanna talk about more important things.

Heather: Like?

Daniel: Like who is waylon marrs, and are we really gonna let him take our daughter to the prom?

Heather: If he asks.

Daniel: Why wouldn’t he ask?

Heather: We did find a few good dress options.

Daniel: Oh. Good.

Heather: Good.

Daniel: Good.

Heather: Good.

Daniel: [Exhales deeply] I…I don’t know if I’m ready for this.

Heather: What about us? Are you ready for that?

Daniel: You have no idea.

Heather: No more hiding our relationship?

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Heather: No more keeping our distance in public?

Daniel: No.

Heather: We can just be us? We can do this?

Daniel: Um…

Heather: Anytime we want, anywhere we want. Except maybe chancellor-winters.

Daniel: Yeah, no, let’S…let’s not do that. Wouldn’t wanna do anything that’s gonna make lily uncomfortable. Otherwise, um…I can’t wait to see what comes next.

Sally: Look, I know that we barely know each other, but I just kind of get this feeling that I’ve been where you are, so if I can help at all…

Audra: [Sighs] You know, tucker is just… he’s brilliant. You know, he’s unorthodox, to say the least. He knows what he wants, and he goes for it. Nothing stops him. He doesn’t let anything get in his way, especially the rules. It’S… [Sighs] It’s exciting… intoxicating.

Sally: And you can’t get enough?

Audra: Mnh-mnh.

Sally: No matter how much that little voice in your head tells you to run like hell?

Audra: Yeah, something like that. You know, and I have run, but I always come back. And I thought we had gotten to a place where, you know, we had something real, a committed relationship, but I-I guess we don’T.

Sally: Because of ashley?

Audra: No, that woman…

[Sighs] Has always been tucker’s ideal, what he always thought he wanted, even though all she does is just torture him. And if she’s gotten in his head again, I don’t know. You know, maybe they just deserve each other.

Sally: Look, from what I can tell, you really don’t strike me as someone that would just give up.

Audra: Yeah, it’s not about giving up. I just don’t wanna get hurt again.

Sally: I get that. Really, I do, ’cause when adam broke my heart, I-I… I was done. I was over him. And I did everything I could to purge him from every cell of my body, but… I just couldn’t, you know? And eventually I realized when you have a love like that, a once-in-a-lifetime love… sometimes it’s worth the risk. It’s worth fighting to be a couple again. And, look, I don’t know. But if you and tucker share what adam and I have, it sounds like maybe you need to fight harder for what you have.

Ashley: Well… I have to tell you, I’m doing better than I have in a really long time. So, you can’t help me because there’s nothing wrong with me. I just want things to go back to the way they were before I messed everything up.

Tucker: Yes, you keep saying that.

Ashley: Because it’s the truth.

Tucker: I see. So, if we got back together this time, you would, uh, you would abandon your family. Hmm? And our relationship, our partnership would be your sole focus? Us, and to hell with the family?

Ashley: In a heartbeat.

Tucker: [Scoffs]

Ashley: I ruined everything, and I deeply regret it. And it will never happen again.

Tucker: Hmm. And I should just believe you?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sally: Thank you. Hi. Come here.

[ Adam sighs ] Did you get any more news from chelsea about connor?

Adam: No, I talked to her earlier. There’s no new news. I just grabbed some of his things to take back to him.

Sally: When are you leaving?

Adam: Well, there is some family stuff going on. Some other family stuff, I mean. Just– it feels like everything is spiraling right now, but I’m going to be going back to minnesota as soon as I can.

Sally: What do you mean, everything is spiraling?

Adam: Well, my son is in deep emotional pain. And my father’s life is in the hands of a mad woman.

Victoria: Nick, where are you? You haven’t returned any of my calls. Please call me back. Adam said that nick would be here soon. I mean, at least that’s what nick told adam, and that was hours ago. So where could he be?

Michael: I’m sure you’ll hear from him soon.

[ Victoria sighs ]

Victoria: At least mom agreed to try to get some rest. The last thing she needs is to have to worry about nicholas too.

Cole: You probably should get some rest too. I mean, you gotta be hungry.

Michael: Claire wanted to keep busy, so she’s in the kitchen now, trying to put together some snacks.

Victoria: No, look, I don’t need food or– or rest. I just need to hear from my father and nicholas. I mean, what if something happened to one of them? Or both of them? I mean, god, how has it come to this anyway?

Cole: I know you’re worried, but I am sure they’re both fine. Victor can take care of himself, and nick can handle whatever it is that’s keeping him from answering his messages.

Victoria: Okay, I know, you’re probably right, and maybe nick is not caught up in this whole jordan mess, but this is just unlike him. I mean, he would never do this to us. He knows how on edge we all are.

Michael: All right, look, he will probably have a great explanation once you hear from him.

Victoria: Fine, but I just hate this waiting game. I– it’s like jordan, she has us at her mercy, like we’re being held captive by her again. How much of this woman’s horror do we have to put up with?

Devon: Oh, look, you’re back. That was a short trip, huh?

Billy: Yeah. Did you miss me?

Lucy: You know, prom is still months away, but I was just asked to be on the decorating committee, which is really cool because technically I’m still the new girl. But I can’t be on the decorating committee and show up to prom without a date. And what if no one asks me? Speaking of asking, you know waylon marrs? He’s the kid with the really great hair and he’s really smart. I mean, I wonder who he’s going to take, because I would be a pretty good date.

Daniel: Whoa!

Lucy: What?

Daniel: Hold on there. Waylon marrs? Who’s that?

Heather: You know waylon, babe, the one with the, uh, really good hair.

Daniel: Mm. And are you dating this one with really good hair?

Lucy: Dad, if we were dating, then I would already have a date to prom, which I don’T.

Heather: She did mention that.

Daniel: Hmm. Well, you know… I am going to expect to meet this child before you go anywhere with him.

Lucy: Dad, he hasn’t even asked me yet, okay? Mom, come on.

Heather: Sorry, honey. You’re on your own with this one.

[ Lock clicks ] My dry eye’s made me a burning,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Michael: Look, I have no doubt your father has a solid plan. Whatever jordan tries to pull, he will be two steps ahead of her. It’s kind of his superpower. He has already calculated every possible move she could make and he has a contingency plan in place for all of them.

Victoria: Michael, how can anyone know what that twisted brain of hers will come up with next? I mean, dad missed something, maybe. Who knows?

Michael: Your father is nothing if he isn’t extremely thorough. Not to mention the fact that he has gotten out of situations much more intense and dangerous than this, by a long shot.

Cole: I just wish that he had pulled us in to help him. I mean, at the very least, just clued us into what his plans were.

Victoria: Dad had absolutely no business doing this on his own. We should have been there.

Michael: No, no, no, no, no. Jordan was expressly expecting only myself and victor. If any other member of the family had shown up, she would have been scared off. Look, I am sure that both of you are aware of this, but victor will be victor regardless of what anyone says. He will always do what he deems necessary to keep his family safe. Even at great personal risk to himself. So, there is probably zero chance that any of us could have changed his mind.

Victoria: Cole, what are you thinking?

Cole: It’s nothing that you haven’t already heard. It’s my guilt for the terror that my family has put yours through. My mother was violently deranged and my aunt jordan is too. Their obsession with tormenting you is sickening.

Victoria: How many times do I have to tell you? Stop blaming yourself. You’re not responsible. I mean, there’s absolutely nothing that you could have done to change anything that’s happened.

Sally: I’m sorry for everything that connor’s been going through, and you and chelsea too. And I know that this jordan woman has been a threat to your family, but what is this latest thing about victor? What happened?

[ Adam scoffs ]

Adam: The woman is a lunatic. Okay? She tried to poison the whole family first. Then, she burned down the prison facility where she was being held in hopes of escaping so she could terrorize them again. And now, she has burned down victoria’s house too. This is the woman that victor made some sort of deal with.

Sally: How could anyone make a deal with someone like that?

Adam: Have you met my dad? He offered to give her some life-changing sum of money and a new identity if she would flee the country and she never came back.

Sally: Yeah, but why would he do that? Why wouldn’t he just turn her in to the police?

Adam: Because he had to smoke her out. That’s why he made her the offer. And she would only accept the deal if she could take him hostage so she could make a clean getaway. But it’s pretty clear that the woman is insane. And he may be in a very dangerous position.

Sally: Oh, my god, I cannot believe how far victor’s gone.

Adam: Well, she threatened our family.

Sally: Okay. Look, victor is way too savvy to let anyone get the better of him.

Adam: That’s what I keep telling myself. But it doesn’t lessen the fear. You know, my dad would go to any lengths to protect the people that he loves, but I’m afraid for him. I’m afraid for my son too.

Sally: I understand. Look, here. You do not have to go through this alone, okay? I’m here for you. I want to help.

Devon: Actually, you know what? If I’m being honest, it was kind of peaceful here with you gone.

Billy: Yeah? Is that right?

Devon: Yeah. No one was trying to change the name of the company. Or exert their power inappropriately. It was great.

Billy: Oh, that’s funny. What about aunt mamie?

Devon: What about aunt mamie?

Billy: Amanda informed jill of mamie’s latest proposition. How she would like to split the company in two and keep it merged together in name only. I mean, if that’s not an attempt at exerting inappropriate power, devon, I don’t know what is.

Devon: I think that was just a suggestion though, right?

Billy: Right. A suggestion. Like I suggested we add “abbott” to the company name. Except with you, devon, there’s always this accusation that I’m trying to orchestrate some sort of power grab. Which I’m not. But I think it’s very clear that mamie would love nothing more than to split this company into two.

Devon: Hm. Well, you make it sound like she’s trying to destroy the company. Is that what you believe?

Billy: Mamie hates jill. She wants to run her out of the company completely.

Devon: Okay. I don’t know how she would do that though because chancellor belongs to jill. It’s her company. And she hired lily. So, mamie’s not going to run your mom out of her own company.

Billy: Okay. Fine. Then let me ask you this. What’s your opinion on mamie’s proposition? Would you be happier in full control of your side of the company? And we keep this company merged in name only?

Daniel: Hey. Welcome back. Uh, I’ll take those. Why didn’t you tell me you were coming back today?

Lily: Well, I was, um going to surprise you. I was going to make us some lunch and figure out a way to get you here. I thought you were at the office and, you know, give you a surprise. But it looks like I’m the one getting surprised. Hey, lucy. Hi, heather. When my doctor gave me breztri for my copd

Michael: How are you holding up?

Victoria: I’m good. I’m just trying to stay strong for my mom and for claire. It’s just that jordan’s, um, relentlessness is starting to get to me.

Michael: Hm. Yeah. It’s an ordeal. It’s a lot of weight for one person to bear. You found your daughter, lost your home, worried about both your parents, now your brother too. It’s fortunate that cole came into your life.

Victoria: Yeah, honestly i don’t think I could have gotten through any of this without him.

Michael: Mm-hmm. Well, even once jordan is dealt with, and I believe your father will see to it, there’s still a– a long road ahead for claire. For the three of you. I hope cole has planned to stay indefinitely. He’s good for you. And for claire.

Victoria: Are you trying to say something without saying it, michael?

[ Michael chuckles ]

Michael: No. Yes. Look, anyone can see how close you two seem to have gotten. And it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world if something positive for you two came out of all this trauma.

Adam: Look, I’m not– I’m not shutting you out. I swear. I’m just– I’m not thinking clear enough yet to even know what kind of help I need.

Sally: I get it. No pressure. I’ll be here whenever you do know.

Adam: You make a good point, though. I mean, no one ever gets the best of victor newman. So, I’m going to stay as optimistic as I can where he’s concerned. He is the savviest and most determined man that I know.

Sally: That’s right. And he’s going to get through this.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Sally: And so will connor. He is so fortunate to have the love and support of two strong and dedicated parents. You, I know, will move heaven and earth for him. You and chelsea will do whatever it is necessary, no matter what it takes. Just like victor will do the same for him and his family.

Lucy: Welcome home, lily.

Heather: Yes. This is such a surprise.

Daniel: Yeah, um, how’s mattie doing? I mean, she must be doing better that you felt like you could come back, right?

Lily: Uh, yeah. Yeah, she’s doing better. You know, it just took her a while to kind of get over everything, right? Like the fire, her teacher dying and, you know, it was a shock, but, um, she’s tough.

Daniel: Yeah, just like her mother.

Lily: Yeah, she comes from a long line of strong women. But, um, I set her up with a therapist, too, to kind of help guide her through everything.

Daniel: That’s good. I– I’m glad to hear that.

Heather: Yes, that’s– that’s wonderful news.

Lily: Um, yeah, so, uh, once she felt good enough to go back to classes, I thought it was good to come home.

Heather: Hey, luce, why don’t you and I go for a walk in that park that we love?

Lucy: Or we could go shopping, look at prom dresses. Just look, not buy. Not yet.

Heather: Okay, come on.

Lucy: Yes! I got you.

Heather: The both?

Lucy: Yep.

Heather: Okay. All right.

Lily: What’s going on?

Devon: You know, billy, why don’t you tell me if you would be happy if we restructured the merger to be in name only?

Billy: 100%. At this point, I think the merger was a mistake.

Devon: A mistake, he says. Really? And why didn’t you say that to us while we were merging and you were working alongside of us? Because you thought the idea was great back then. Is it because things don’t suit your ambitions now that you think it was a bad idea?

Billy: There was a lot more trust back then. A lot’s changed. So, has my perspective.

Devon: I mean, I think the only thing that’s changed is you don’t work for lily anymore. You work for your mom.

Billy: No, it’s the power dynamics. They’ve shifted underneath my mother. Not surprising. She feels outnumbered and isolated.

Devon: Really? That’s how she feels? Well, this is the first I’m hearing of that. Is that why she brought you in? To shift the power back to her side?

Billy: It’s to make sure that her best interests are represented and that her voice is heard.

Devon: So, that’s a yes.

Billy: Devon, you’re not subtle in your want for autonomy, okay? And I don’t think my mother is either, so… let’s split the company up. You do what you do. We’ll do what we do.

Devon: Wow. Okay. You’ve been pretty quiet, chance. What do you think about all this? If advanced lung cancer I would really love to hear your opinion about this. Do you think splitting up this company is a smart business decision?

Chance: Look, fellas, I think this is above my pay grade.

Devon: But I’m sure you have an opinion about this, and I would love to hear it.

Chance: All right. If you really want to know.

Devon: I’d love to.

Chance: I think that there is no room in a corporation, especially one of this size, for petty infighting and saber rattling. I mean, you don’t have to be a corporate executive to know that ego is the biggest, most destructive obstacle to success in any business.

Billy: Is that it? That’s profound. Who exactly are you directing these comments to, me or devon?

Chance: Look, you shouldn’t have asked me if you didn’t want to know. And you know what else? I think both of you need to take a deep breath and chill out.

Michael: I like cole. He’s a good guy. He’s, you know, solid and trustworthy.

[ Michael laughs ] I like how strong and caring he is with claire. And with you too. You know, a lesser man would have been flattened in a heartbeat by everything that happened.

Victoria: I agree. Cole is one of a kind. He always has been.

Michael: So, do you think there was some kind of karma or maybe destiny that ended up bringing him back into town?

Victoria: No, michael. No. The only thing that brought him back to town was our daughter, claire. And this hateful madwoman who’s out for revenge. Michael, am I wrong right now or are you trying to play matchmaker? Because if that’s what you’re trying to do, then you’re wasting your time. Because I have too much going on in my life right now. The last thing that I need or want is a relationship.

Sally: This maniac, jordan, has caused so much damage.

Adam: Yeah, normally that would be the only thing on my mind, what the family’s up against. When your kid is suffering, all I think about is the times that I wasn’t there when he needed me.

Sally: Adam. Look at me, please. I wish that you could see you the way I do instead of the way that you do.

Adam: Well, that’s because I’ve lived through the things that I have done. You have mostly just heard vague rumors.

Sally: Okay. You know, you act as if you’re like this ultimate black sheep bad boy. I will have you know that I was quite the troublemaker.

Adam: Oh, I know. You’ve told me.

Sally: Yeah, then you should take all that seriously. Because, you know, I’m not always to be trusted. And I can be conniving. You know, I’m a creative thinker driven by emotion to epic extremes.

Adam: Well, you should know, if I was on one of these dating apps, that would be exactly what I’m looking for.

Sally: Hmm. Well, then we would be matched in a heartbeat. Either that or both of us would be blocked for being too much of a risk.

Adam: Hm.

Sally: Yeah. Anything’s possible when the two of us are involved.

Adam: I wish I hadn’t met you years ago.

Sally: Me too.

Daniel: It’s, uh, really great to see you. I mean, you look fantastic. You were gone for way too long.

Lily: Yeah, thanks for the compliment. But what is going on? I mean, it was very, very awkward when I walked in here. And I feel like heather was giving me some look like she was caught or something.

Heather: Again, welcome home, lily.

Lucy: I’ll see you later, dad. It was good to see you.

Lily: Yeah. So sorry, what– what did I interrupt? Because I feel like I walked in on some warm, fuzzy family moment.

Daniel: Just the three of us were just having breakfast, and you weren’t interrupting anything. But we do need to talk.

Lily: Yeah, seems like clearly we do.

Daniel: Can I get you a water or a coffee?

Lily: Can you just tell me what’s going on? You and heather got back together while I was gone, didn’t you? I’m jonathan lawson,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Daniel: Yes, it happened, but not intentionally.

[ Lily sighs ]

Lily: And by “it,” I’m assuming that you two slept together.

Daniel: We did.

[ Lily sighs ]

Lily: That’s all you’re going to say? You’re going to make me drag it out of you?

Daniel: The pull was there. It– it was just too strong.

Lily: Oh, yeah, I can imagine. Especially with me gone so long, right? I mean, way too long, that’s what you said, right?

Daniel: Heather and I finally had to admit that we wanted to get our family back together. That we wanted to try and get back what we lost.

Lily: Right, and I was out of sight, out of mind.

Daniel: No, no, it wasn’t like that. That had nothing to do with what happened between the two of us. It wasn’t like that at all.

Lily: I’m sorry, what was it like? Because I mean, you were calling me, and texting me and checking on me, and you didn’t say anything. As if nothing had changed.

Daniel: And I’m sorry about that. Look, I wanted to tell you as soon as it happened, but I didn’t want to pile anything else on top of what you were already dealing with and I didn’t want to take your attention away from mattie. I didn’t want to do it long distance over a phone. That’s for damn sure.

Lily: Oh, yeah.

Daniel: I wanted to do it face to face with you, I figured I at least owed you that.

Lily: Well, thank you. That’s so considerate of you.

[ Lily laughs ] Oh, my god. How long has this been going on for? Like, the whole time? Or since I left? I mean, is heather here every night making you and lucy breakfast in the morning?

Daniel: No, it was one time a few weeks ago. Once. That’s it. But after it happened, we realized that it wasn’t just a mistake that we were both going to regret, and… it felt right, it– it felt like we had found our way home.

[ Lily sighs ]

Lily: You know, there’s a happy medium between me dragging it out of you and tmi.

[ Daniel sighs ] God. I guess, I should appreciate you being honest with me, but… oh, my god. This really hurts.

Daniel: Lily, you have to believe me when I say that that is the last thing that I ever wanted to do.

Lily: Yeah. That’s exactly what people say right after they hurt you the most.

Victoria: Thank you, michael. But you can stop.

Michael: Stop what? Annoying you?

Victoria: Yeah, that. I know you’re just trying to distract me from worrying about dad. Actually, it worked. You took my mind off it. At least for the last few minutes.

Cole: Okay, so claire made sandwiches, and I managed to talk her into getting some rest, too. She and nikki were up most of the night.

Victoria: You know, it’s just so strange. It’s also kind of comforting to know that my daughter and my mother were able to keep each other company. At least through the worst of this. Ah, god, they must be so exhausted from the anxiety of waiting for word.

Michael: No, it’s not claire I’m worried about, it’s nikki. The last thing she needs is all of this stress. Victor’s not going to be pleased if it turns out to be too much for her.

[ Adam sighs ]

Adam: This is the part that I hate the most. The waiting. And the worrying, it’s grueling.

Sally: It’s the results of a brilliant mind. Coming up with too many scenarios. But, you know, worrying never changes the outcome. So, let’s talk about something else. Let’s talk about you, since we mostly talked about me before. And I know talking about you always cheers you up.

[ Adam chuckles ]

Adam: Oh, I feel so understood.

Sally: We could talk about what an amazing dad you are. And how you’re working to be an even better son.

Adam: You are too good to me, you know that? And you’re too good for me.

Sally: Don’t you dare start with that.

Adam: Yeah, we both know it’s true, I don’t need to say it, okay? But I don’t want this to be a one-way street. You need some tlc too.

Sally: Hey, you opening up to me is more than enough for me right now.

Adam: No, well, not for me, okay? Well, hopefully once things stabilize with victor, I can make good on the pitch to get your company under the newman umbrella, that is, if you’re still interested in coming on board with that.

Sally: Seriously, that is the last thing you should be worrying about right now, okay? We will figure all that out when the time is right. But right now, I want you to go back to the ranch and be with your family. And then, go be with your son.

Adam: I love you.

Sally: I love you.

[ Sally scoffs ] So I didn’t think I needed swiffer,

Nate: Hey, man.

Chance: Hey.

Nate: How’s it going?

Chance: Oh, good.

Nate: Good? Come, sit down.

Chance: I appreciate you. Yeah, just, uh, stopping by to get some fuel. Had to get out of the office.

Nate: Oh, yeah? What’s– what’s going on at the office?

Chance: Just another tense meeting between devon and billy, you know.

Nate: Ah, sounds like devon’s up to his usual. Working like hell to make it seem like billy isn’t getting to him.

Chance: He’s trying, but you can tell he’s getting a little fed up.

Nate: And meanwhile, billy stays true to his nature, and keeps on pushing. Which only annoys devon even more.

Chance: You know, I got a feeling the two of us are a lot alike. Neither of us want any part of that conflict. Am I reading that correctly?

Devon: Well, do you think chance’s take on this situation was a result of your crackerjack mentoring?

Billy: Oh, I don’t think chance was entirely wrong. He did make one good point.

Devon: I agree, and he gave some good advice, too, that you should take, and chill out.

Billy: I was referring to the ego part and how it can be so destructive in the workplace.

Devon: Oh, I see. And whose ego do you think he was referring to? Mine or yours?

Billy: Devon, why don’t you tell me why you don’t agree with mamie’s proposition? Because the way I see it, we could divide this company into two and there’d be no more infighting. No more saber rattling. Just like that. Sure, lily, she started at chancellor, but I’m sure she’d be more than happy to go with you over to winters, and take over the world there with you in control, of course. And look at it this way, we wouldn’t be at each other’s throat anymore.

Devon: That’s funny, because I wasn’t even aware that we were.

Lily: I knew this was going to happen, I knew it. It was so obvious what heather wanted. She kept using lucy as an excuse to show up here, always finding herself in some warm little embrace with you.

Daniel: I don’t think that heather planned for how this turned out.

Lily: Of course she did. And I’m sure she really turned it up as soon as I left, didn’t she?

Daniel: That is not what happened at all. Look, I don’t want you blaming heather for any of this. This was a spontaneous, one-time thing. And it took us both by surprise, but it was a consensual moment of clarity that happened just that once.

Lily: You keep talking about the sex as if that’s the only way that you can cheat. Every day that you knew something that I didn’t, every time that you told heather that you wanted to be with her, but you just had to wait to break it to poor little lily, that is cheating.

Daniel: Look, anything that I say is just going to sound self-serving or like an excuse.

Lily: I mean, you probably wanted to be with her the whole time, didn’t you? Like, my god, what does that say about what we shared? Like, was any of it even real?

Daniel: Yeah, of course it was. It was to me. As far as heather goes, I had given up hope a long time ago that she was ever going to forgive me. It was the furthest thing from my mind, thinking that we were ever going to get back together again.

Lily: Oh, please, don’t kid yourself. You are not the kind of guy that would betray me randomly. There had to be something significant pulling you two together. Have you fallen back in love with heather?

Daniel: Honestly, um… I don’t think I ever stopped loving her.

Adam: Any word? Is dad still missing?

Michael: I’m afraid so, but I’m sure we’ll hear something soon.

Victoria: What about nick? I can’t imagine why I haven’t heard from him. He hasn’t returned any of my calls, any of my messages. Where did he say he was going? Did he tell you?

Adam: No, I assumed that he would be here by now. He got a message on his phone, but he didn’t give me any specifics, I thought it was about christian.

Victoria: Sounds like a classic jordan move. What if she concocted some story about christian being in trouble so she could set a trap for nicholas?

[ Sighs ] What if she has him too? Schwarzkopf

Lily: There it is. You’re in love. I knew it too. I knew that you hadn’t gotten over your feelings for heather. I mean, you were devastated when you found out she was seeing someone in portugal.

Daniel: I was the one who ruined our relationship by being a jackass. When she left, I knew that i needed to get my act together. And I moved on, lily. I moved on without heather in my life, and then she moved back to town.

Lily: Yeah, just don’t, okay? I already know. I watched the whole thing happen. And I still thought that you were someone I could have faith in.

[ Sighs ] Oh, my gosh. This is not how I pictured my homecoming.

Daniel: I’m sorry. I am truly sorry and I know that that probably sounds pointless.

Lily: Yeah, it really does.

Daniel: You want– you want to yell, you want to hit me, go ahead, I deserve it. I– I expect it, I mean, that’s why I wanted to do this face-to-face, so you could tell me exactly how you feel.

Lily: I’m not going to yell.

[ Sniffles ] Or attack you. And why would I, right? Because I am so reasonable, aren’t I?

Daniel: You don’t have to be. If you want to let it out, let it out.

Lily: I have to get out of here.

Daniel: Should I have told you right away? With everything else that you were dealing with in california, should I have told you right away, because I struggled with that, you know?

Lily: Are you kidding right now? You want me to feel better about your timing of telling me? Yeah, sure, daniel, you know what, I– yeah, I’m– I’m so happy that you didn’t, because you know what? Mattie needed all of my attention.

Daniel: Yeah, devon thought that might be the case, too.

Lily: I’m sorry, my– my brother knew about you two? For how long? Like, from the beginning?

Billy: I really do appreciate your calm demeanor, but I suspect this is exactly what it looks like when you’re at someone else’s throat. Mine in particular, because you’re not that subtle. You don’t trust me. And you resent the fact that I’m here.

Devon: I think “resent” is a little strong.

Billy: Okay, look, we can pretend to play nice. Pretend to find some sort of work balance, but we won’T. We’re two powder kegs ready to blow, I can admit that, even if you won’T. But we don’t have to let it get that far. We don’t have to let it explode. We can fix this right now. One agreement with a few signatures, and that’s it. It’s a done deal.

Devon: Hm, you see, the problem with that, billy, is your mother won’t let that happen.

Nate: Hey, look, I’m not taking sides here. All I want is to work peacefully and productively.

Chance: Exactly, I mean, I’m right there with you, man. I– I figure there’s got to be some safe space between these two, no?

Nate: Sounds like maybe your mentor isn’t being as supportive as he once was. Does this mean you’re officially off team billy?

Chance: From the day i started, I’ve been on one team and that’s chancellor-winters, okay? I get the sense you’re on the same team.

Nate: You could say that.

Chance: So, I think it’s time for us to step up and be the adults in the room. Because I have a feeling if we leave it up to those two, this whole thing could go off the rails.

Michael: You are letting your imagination run away with you. We have no evidence whatsoever that jordan has taken nick too.

Cole: You know what, michael’s right. Nick probably got caught up in some sort of problem with his son. Having nothing to do with this whole jordan mess.

Adam: We should call christian’s school and find out what is really going on. You know, if there was a crisis that pulled nick away, then we’ll know for sure. But if not, we’ll have reason to suspect that there’s a much bigger problem.

Victoria: Yes, I think that adam’s right. I think that’s a call we need to make because I need to know whether or not I should be worried about my father and my brother. Please, god, I hope they’re okay.

Victor: Don’t worry much, sweetheart, we are.

Victoria: Oh, god. We were so terrified.

Nick: It played out exactly the way dad thought it would. He had all the bases covered.

Victor: I really am sorry we had to do it this way, okay? But in order for the plan to work, there was no other way.

Adam: So nick was in on the plan all along?

Michael: How did that happen?

Victor: Well, we have reason to believe this is all over now. This nightmare is finished.

[ Door banging ]

[ Jordan grunting, panting ]

[ Door rattling ]

Jordan: Oh, god.

[ Jordan panting ] Oh! Damn you, victor newman!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

well, thanks for the ziti. Delicious. Just like your mom used to make it. Yeah. You liked it? I loved it. Couldn’t tell. You barely had three bites. I wasn’t hungry. Too worried to eat? Well, food tastes like cardboard. I don’t want to offend your mom’s recipe, but…

[ Both laugh ] Come on, I didn’t bring the ziti over so you could praise my cooking. I — I brought it over to keep your strength up. Is that all? I wanted to check in on you, too. Well, you know, I went to the hospital, sat by dante’s bed. I’m trying to be there for olivia. I’m just terrified that my son’s not going to make it.

[ Monitors beeping ]

[ Tapping ] Hi. How’s it going? Do you want the cheerful and optimistic answer? If you’re feeling cheerful and optimistic. I’m scared. I’m confused. Yeah, I don’t blame you. I would be, too. Especially now that mom said jason is the prime suspect in dante’s shooting. Jason: I’m on pier 55.

A man’s been shot twice

in the chest.

Dante! Hey, dante!

He passed out.

Get the paramedics here now. Yeah? Hey. Hi. Do you have a minute? Sure. Come in. My office wants an update on the dante falconeri shooting and how it relates to the shot that was taken at sonny corinthos earlier that evening. Should the individual face separate charges, or do we make the warehouse and conspiracy charges lesser offenses included in the charge of first degree murder? Well, the individual in question is jason morgan. Uh, but I’m not convinced that he tried to murder anyone. God, I hope you’re right. Drew. Come in. I saw your light was still on. I was, um — I was just hoping to catch michael. Oh, he had to run an errand. I’m not sure how long he’ll be. You might want to text him. Yeah. This isn’t really something that I want to say in a text. Carly and I broke up.

[ Knock on door ] What time is it? Can I come in? Do you have a warrant? No. I just want to speak to you. Come in. Okay, agent cates. What do you want to say to me? I need your help.

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ] Hey, it’s me. Wait, no, no, do not try and stand. Willow said you need rest. I’m okay. No, you’re not, but you will be. Okay? Just let us take care of you.


Yeah. Nice. I gotta hand it to mom. She gave me and molly a heads up before the invader ran the story on dante’s shooting. What did she say? Everything that the article said, just more personalized — that jason is still alive and that he’s the prime suspect in dante’s shooting. It was so confusing to me then, and it’s still confusing. I don’t know how you’re holding up. This must be hitting you really hard. Yeah, I’M… still trying to process it all. Okay. “Okay” what? Well, nothing. I just — I expected you to say that this was all a big mistake, and there was no way that jason could do this. Okay, well, if that’s what you want to hear, then go talk to carly. I was just listening to the 911 call, which ids jason’s voice. I’ve heard it. Even without the tech, I knew it was jason. Yeah. Coupled with that, we have the dna evidence from the sweatshirt used to bandage dante. Jason’s blood — appears he was shot while wearing the sweatshirt, then took it off and tied it around dante’s wound. So we know that he tried to save dante. Did he also shoot him? Our preliminary theory is that dante was pursuing jason and a second individual. Jason shot his pursuer, and then upon realizing that it was dante, tried to save him. Well, that certainly fits the evidence we have so far. But you don’t believe it. I don’t want to believe it. That is something else entirely. Olivia says you’ve been a rock. Well, I’m glad she thinks that. Hey. You’re doing something wonderful for her, you know. You’re allowing her to pour all her love and her hope into your son. But you know you have the right to your feelings, too. Olivia may not be in a place to hear them or share them, but — but I can. It’s just not fair. Oh, come on. You know what I mean? I do, I do, but, you know, what’s fair, right? Well — listen. I love you. You know that. God forbid, situations were reversed and it was my child in a hospital bed fighting for her life, you would be the first person I call. So I want you to lean on me. You can tell me anything. You know I’m not going to judge you. If jason was the one who shot dante… I will never forgive him and I will never forgive myself. Why would I help you? You seem convinced jason morgan is innocent. He is. Help me prove it. Look, the last thing I want to do is waste bureau resources by chasing the wrong suspect, so help me out. Tell me why you’re so sure that jason didn’t shoot dante falconeri. Because jason isn’t reckless or stupid. He wouldn’t shoot at someone without knowing who they are. He wouldn’t shoot a cop, any cop, and he would never shoot dante. Why never dante? Because he’s sonny’s son? That’s part of it. But the other part is that dante lives with jason’s ex-wife, and they’re raising jason’s son. You know, for some men, that would be a motive for murder. Can I make you some tea? Or you know what? Forget that. Can I pour you a glass of wine? If you join me. Absolutely. Oh. [ Sighs ] It has been quite a day. How did michael react to the news about jason? Oh, he’S… thrilled that jason’s alive, you know, of course. And convinced he didn’t shoot dante? Yes. Yeah, so was carly. All evidence to the contrary, she’s sure that jason is innocent, and nothing and nobody can shake her faith in him. And that — that’s why we broke up. Willow also says you need to change into clean clothes. Yeah, when did willow get so bossy? Oh, she’s always been bossy. She used to be a teacher, remember? Now she’s a nurse. The secret is she’s — she’s very subtle about it. She’s so sweet and reasonable that you don’t even realize she’s ordering you around. She’s a good nurse. Like your grandmother. Your mom told me about bobbie. I’m sorry. Yeah, it happened on new year’S. She was in amsterdam sorting through, uh, luke’s affairs, and she — she passed away in her sleep. We were — we were all devastated, especially my mom. Man, you know what’s crazy? Um… the first time that I held you, bobbie put you in my arms. She did? Yeah. Yeah. You were, um — you were a little premature, and you had to be in the incubator. And then bobbie, she brought me into the nursery. She gowned me up, she — she sat me in this rocking chair, and she put you in my arms. And she taught me how to hold you, and how to support your head, and then… she let go. That was the scariest moment in my life. Hey, I don’t blame you. I felt that exact same way the first time I held amelia. Jason, I cannot wait for you to meet her. She is so beautiful. She — she looks like willow. Actually —

[Clears throat] Well, she — she wants you to get into clean clothes, so let’s, uh — let’s get on it. Yeah.

[ Groans ] You need help? Yeah. No. I’m good, I’m good.

[ Grunting ] What happened to you?


It’s not like I stopped loving carly. It’s just that I recognize that — that there’s no future there. I’m so sorry. Yeah, so am I. She’s an incredible woman, and she made me very happy, and I hope that I made her happy, too. Obviously, you did, drew. Come on. You’ve been incredible. Generous, supportive, beyond forgiving. Well, not always, not today. I came down pretty hard on her for — for something that I honestly, I don’t know if she can help. Not that she would want to, like… carly’s first loyalty is always to jason. He means more to her than anybody else, other than her kids. And when we all thought that he was dead, she was — she was free to pursue other relationships, but now that he’s back… she’s not. Alright, I’ll burn these. No, no. No, don’T. I need those. Jason, there’s a bullet hole through your shirt. No, when I leave here, I need to be wearing those clothes. There can’t be any evidence that somebody helped me. Definitely nothing that tracks back to you, willow, or danny. Okay. Whatever you say. So when you leave, where are you going? I haven’t figured that out yet. Can you at least tell me where you’ve been? Okay, clearly that line about me helping you help jason was just bs to get in the door, right? No, I’m just pointing out that some men might have a problem when their ex-wife moves on and their kid’s being raised by somebody else. Okay, so now instead of jason shooting dante to avoid arrest, he now lured him to the pier and shot him out of jealousy. It’s just a theory. Well, it’s a ridiculous theory. Well, it’s my job to entertain every possible scenario in the course of an investigation. Really? Because I thought it was your job to keep an open mind, to go where the evidence leads you. Is there any proof at all that jason’s guilty? Because I’m pretty sure there’s evidence that jason tried to help dante. How would you know that? When ava showed me the freeze frame of jason’s face from the drone, I couldn’t believe it. Ava? She went with me to the warehouse, and I knew something was going to happen, so I had spinelli put cameras all over the warehouse. So I went to dante’s, ava went to spinelli’s, she came back, and there was the picture of jason on the roof with another shooter. Sonny, I’m so sorry. That must have been surreal. When I first saw it, I thought it was fake, but it was legit. And, you know, uh, I just — I just couldn’t believe it. Well, it seems impossible. Well, for you, because you have history, but, you know, ava is more objective. So, wait, where is ava right now? She’s dropping off avery at school. Okay. Alright, so let me get this straight. Ava, she shows you the picture, right? You see that it’s jason. Right. And he appears to be working with the sniper. No, he is working with the sniper. Okay, and you realize you’re the target? Yeah. Why is jason trying to kill you? I don’t know, lois, but maybe it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other or anything. Maybe he’s just forgotten what it’s like to be loyal to me.


Multiple conflicts ofinterest when it comes to jason. A few years back, he saved my life. And that’s when I got to know him a little better than I had previously. He is — was — is remarkable. He’s cool under fire and a clear thinker and someone that I instinctively trusted. Then, of course, my daughter loves him. He made a crucial difference in robin’s life. All of which makes me want to believe that he did not shoot dante. But of course, I cannot be in this job wanting to think the things I want to think. I have to remain impartial and assemble the evidence, and trust the system. I think that’s why I’m really here — to see how you do it. Stay impartial. Because I don’t know that I can. Which would mean I’m in the wrong job. It’s not exactly a shock that carly thinks jason is innocent. Don’t tell molly I’m telling you this, but carly told me that jason showed up at her place the night that dante was shot. Well, again, that’s not really a surprise that he would go to carly. But why don’t you want me to tell molly? ‘Cause molly’s an ada, and she would have to notify the cops, and the cops could get a search warrant for carly’s house. And then if they did find any proof that jason had been there, carly could get charged with something like aiding and abetting. Yeah. Right. Hey. Mom would be proud. Daughter of a lawyer. I’ve got to be honest with you. I really can’t stand the sight of carly right now. I mean, I don’t want her to go to prison or anything like that, I just really want her to leave me alone. Did carly say jason said he didn’t shoot dante? Carly told me that jason showed up in her living room, they had a big reunion, the cops showed up, and not a word was mentioned about dante. But, I mean, he’d come from the pier. So even if he didn’t shoot dante, I mean, he was just there and he saw it and he called 911. You’d think that’d be top of mind, right? And that he’d mention it to carly. Yeah, you’d think. Classic jason — never says anything. Sam, you really think he did it? Every minute that goes by, I am afraid that he did it. I’m so sorry, sam. I just — I can’t believe that jason would do that. Especially since he’s wanted in connection to the rifle shooting at the warehouse. My dad has as a rip in his coat that pr– hey, danny morgan, what are you doing here again? I didn’t get killed when the tunnel collapsed on cassadine island. Well, that much is obvious. The tunnel was blocked. I couldn’t — I couldn’t get to britt and the others. So I followed the tunnel out. It led me to the beach, and I was heading toward the main house. But there were two guys there waiting with guns. Who were they? That part I can’t tell you. But they took me prisoner. They flew me out of greece, and, um, eventually I ended up in a room with no windows, talking to a man who wanted me to do a job. And he had the leverage to force me to agree. And you can’t tell me what that leverage was. No. What was the job? I’ve been working as a private military contractor. A mercenary. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I haven’t seen jason. He didn’t fill me in on his version of events. If you check your records, you will see that one of the people who found dante at the pier was my daughter, josslyn jacks. Yeah, I remember her name from the report. Yeah. And when she and her friend, dex, showed up to the pier, they found dante bandaged with a sweatshirt with a cellphone lying next to him with an open line to 911.

That was jason. And no, not because he told me, but because I know jason. And why the hell aren’t you going with the theory that this other unidentified suspect was the one who shot dante, and jason was the one who saved him? Well, if you know jason so well, then maybe you can tell me why he ran away instead of waiting for the first responders.


I remember when jason started working for you. The quartermaines, oh, they were so upset. Especially alan and monica, but, you know, jason wouldn’t listen to anyone as far as he was concerned, he liked and respected you, and no one was going to stop him from being your friend. There was a point where I didn’t trust anybody more than jason. Or maybe — maybe I trusted him too much. What does that mean? When I was in nixon falls, him and carly got together. Yeah, I heard that they got married. But olivia told me that you showed up on the same day, and then they got it annulled. Right? I thought it was like a friendship thing, that they were helping each other out. That’s what I thought. Um, you know, maybe I thought wrong. Are you saying that you think they were cheating on you — look, I’m not saying they slept together, but they were in love. I was the last one to know. And it — and it — I just felt like it broke some trust. Is that why you divorced carly the last time? I thought it was because of nina. I’m not going to deny I had feelings for nina, but I really wanted to make my marriage work. I tried, I tried, but carly made it impossible. I’m so sorry. No, you know, it doesn’t really matter right now. My son could be dying, and the cops think that jason is the one who shot him. I don’t know why jason ran. Maybe it’s because he didn’t want to be arrested for something he didn’t do or locked up by the fbi, who already has presumed that he’s guilty. And I think it’s because he wanted to remain undetected. I don’t know, you’re going to have to explain that one to me. Well, it is clear that jason and the other suspect didn’t know there were surveillance cameras in the warehouse or a drone hovering the roof. They made no attempt to hide their faces. Which means at the time dante was shot, jason was under the belief that his presence in port charles remained undetected. He had no idea there was footage of his activities on the roof or that his picture was already in the hands of the authorities. Maybe you should be grateful to whoever shot him. If they hadn’t, he’d already be long gone. It’s hard for me to believe that carly would just let you go. I mean, you’ve been through so much together. You went to prison for her. Oh. Well, no, taking the plea deal to protect carly, that was the right thing to do. I would do that again in a heartbeat. I don’t regret that. It’s just that I would never want her to — to stay with me out of — out of obligation. Because at this point, that’s kind of all it would be. Okay, I think you’re really underestimating yourself and carly’s feelings for you. No, I know she loves me. She does, but… not the way that she loves him. And I didn’t want to drag it out, and I didn’t want to have to turn it into a test where she’s constantly having to prove that she’s choosing me over jason, because we both know the second that there’s a crisis, she’s going to run straight to him. I’m sorry. I really am, you know, you — you deserve so much better. I agree with you there. And I intend to find it. Michael: So how long have you been back in port charles? I mean, since yesterday. I was — I was working with a sniper. Hamish — I already told you about him. But when I found out the target was sonny, I made sure hamish missed. And then hamish and I, we were heading to the waterfront to leave by boat, and that’s when dante caught up with us. And you know the rest. So — so if you weren’t sent to shoot sonny, would you have come back at all? I don’t know. And I thought about it every single day. But the job the man gave me in the room with no windows isn’t done. Well, what happens if you don’t finish? Something I can’t live with. I have to finish. I can’t believe you snuck out for a second time. I didn’t sneak out this time. Yuri drove me. What is wrong with him? Doesn’t he realize that you are too young to be ordering him around? I lied and said you wanted to see me. Danny, I do want to see you. I love seeing you. But you have to realize I am going out of my mind with worry right now. And the only thing that is keeping me calm is knowing that you, scout, and rocco are safe at the quartermaines. You know, just a thought, but maybe he’s here because his father, jason, is alive and is a suspect in dante’s shooting.


I’ve got my own conflictsof interest with jason. Sam was married to him. They have a son together. Although it’s ironic, I think sam has more doubts about jason’s innocence than I do. You believe he’s innocent? Look, three years ago, if you’d asked me, I would have known he was, and no amount of evidence could have convinced me otherwise. I mean. I worshiped jason. I just thought he and sam had the most romantic love story ever. And even after they broke up, jason was somebody that sam — that our whole family could count on. You know, jason was an unconventional father, but he loved danny. He was willing to do anything sam thought was best for their child. Plus, he literally saved kristina from a cult. Yeah. So that’s another thing in the bonus column. I mean, why wouldn’t I give jason every benefit of the doubt? We don’t know where jason’s been or what he’s been through. What we do know is there is footage of him acting like a spotter for a sniper, taking aim at sonny. Hence the conspiracy charges. You don’t just accidentally wind up on a rooftop next to a man with a high powered rifle, helping him set up the shot. I mean, if he was willing to participate in sonny’s murder, why wouldn’t he shoot dante? But the anomaly is the 911 call. I keep thinking that dante was shot by the other individual and jason tried to help him. So why wouldn’t he stick around for first responders? All this could be a moot point because there’s been no sign of jason since he jumped from the bridge. Danny, I’m so sorry. I should have sat you down and talked to you. Mom, it’s okay. No, it’s not okay. I have been so focused on dante, I didn’t stop for a second to think that maybe you might have some questions yourself. I am not a little kid anymore. Dante’s been shot, so of course you need to be with him. Besides, it’s not like you can tell me anything about my father. Can you? All I know is what I saw in the invader — that jason is back and he’s a suspect in dante’s shooting. Okay. You’re right. You are not a little kid anymore. And, danny, to be completely honest with you, I have no idea where your father’s been or why he thought it was okay to let us think that he had died. But jason doesn’t think like other people. What do you mean? Your father. He is — he’s drawn to danger. He chases it. Actually, anyone else would have been trying to get home. But not jason. Maybe — maybe he has a reason. Yeah, I’m sure he does. But jason’s reasons aren’t like anyone else’s either. You know, I’ve been quoting your grandmother a lot today. And she’s taught me a lot about law over the years, both of us. But one of the most important things she taught me is that a defendant is innocent until proven guilty. So at the moment, it seems like all the evidence is pointing to jason being the one who shot dante, but he’s not guilty unless and until he is charged, tried, and a jury says so. I know you have a lot of questions, and I don’t know where your dad was or why he stayed away. Your dad is the only one who can really give you those answers. Hi, uh — drew. Michael. Hey. Willow said that you were out running an errand. Yeah. Like, uh, ten of them, actually. Well, what can I do for you? Ah, I will let willow fill you in. I’m suddenly feeling kind of exhausted. I’m going to go back and check on scout, probably go to bed. So thank you so much for the wine, and thank you for the sympathetic ear, willow. Any time. And just to be clear, no one will ever be better to her or better for her than you are. That means a lot. Thank you. Thanks. Okay, man. Good night. What was that about? Your mom and drew broke up. Wow. Uh, that’s too bad. Yeah. Yeah. Are those jason’s? Oh, yeah. Oh, give them to me. I’ll wash them. Willow, are you — are you sure you’re okay with this? It’s nothing I would have chosen, but it’s where we are. All we can do is see it through. Right? You know, the thing that I feel really bad about is the regret I have because of the distance between us. What? Distance between you and dante? Come on. You two have a beautiful relationship. I saw it the second I got back to port charles, you know, which is a little surprising, seeing as how he’s a cop, and you… do what you do. Obviously, you’ve been able to surmount those obstacles. Sonny, the bond you have with dante is — it’s full of — it’s full of love and mutual respect. Can I tell you something? For the last two years, dante is the only one I could go to. He’s the only one that I could talk to that doesn’t judge me, that believes in me, that helps me, that does everything for me. You want to know what the last thing I said to to him was? What? “Stop being in my way.”


Kristina is right, and your father is innocent until proven guilty. We’re just going to have to hope that there is some sort of explanation for all this. And then when dante wakes up, he can tell us what happened. The doctors know when he’s going to wake up? Oh, there’s no way to predict that. It could be today or a while from now. I’M… sorry I came and worried you. Oh, don’t be sorry. I’m sorry I snapped at you. I love you. Okay? I need your help. I need you to promise me that you’re going to go to the quartermaines, and please, please, please, danny, stay out of trouble. I’ll stay out of trouble, mom. Guess you won’t have to worry about the other two. What are you talking about? I worry about all of you. I love all of you. Can you give scout a big hug and kiss from me, okay? Okay, I will. Can you take him where he needs to be? Yeah. Yeah. Of course. So is yuri downstairs waiting for you? No, he — he dropped me off. Oh. Okay. Well, then I guess you’re looking right at your ride, huh? Funny. I just got a sudden craving for a maple old fashioned. You want to stop by eckert’s all-night donut window on the way home? I could go for a chocolate with sprinkles. Oh, yeah? Chocolate sprinkles kind of guy? Love them. Sounds pretty good. Might change my mind. Agent cates was at one end of the bridge and I was at the other, and, um, cates told him to keep his hands where we could see them, which he didn’t really comply, but he didn’t pull a weapon. And I told him to turn himself in so that we could sort it all out, and that’s when he jumped. But I tell you, he did not look desperate. He looked determined, like he knew that he could survive the drop into the river, and I think he did. Have the search parties turned anything up? No. But then, according to the csi, it’s something to do with the currents in the river. Like, if jason were dead, he would have washed ashore by now. And he hasn’T. Ergo, he’s almost certainly still alive. So where is he now? I don’t know. We’re continuing the search, and we’re proceeding with the theory that jason’s injured and holed up somewhere in the area, or maybe just slightly, that he rendezvoused with the other individual and he got out of port charles. Hell, he could have got out of the country by now, for that matter. He could be anywhere. You really think that’s just as likely? Yeah. I mean, I worked for the wsb for years, you know that. And I used to see these sniper teams operate, and they were professional. They get in, they set up, they make the kill, they get out. That does appear to be what was happening on the warehouse roof. In which case, jason is long gone. He could be almost impossible to trace. I mean, I guess I should be relieved. It means I wouldn’t have to prosecute jason. But disappearing is basically an admission of guilt. No? I’m not so sure. And the more I look at the evidence, the less sense it makes to me. Something else is going on here, something that I’m not seeing yet. Come on. You think dante hasn’t said a bunch of things about you in the last few years that he wishes he could take back? But you still love him, right? Always. Always. Yeah. So why don’t you cut yourself some slack? It’s just difficult, lois, because he only went to the warehouse because of me. He was telling me about the cops. If I had listened, he’d still be home. Okay. I’m about to rock your world, sonny. You are not god. You’re not responsible for dante’s choices. Or for jason’s, for that matter. You cannot control the outcome of events. But it doesn’t mean you’re powerless because you’re a parent, and there is nothing stronger than a parent’s love. That is what dante needs right now, and I know that he can feel it. I know it like I know my own name. Well, I’ve known you long enough. I’m not going to argue with you. Oh. That’s good.

[ Laughs ] This conversation’s over. I want you to leave. I didn’t mean to offend you. Yes, you did. And you succeeded. Well, for what it’s worth, you offended me, too. The fbi doesn’t presume anyone’s guilty. We follow the evidence where it leads. My only goal here is to find the truth. Great. I can’t wait for you to find the truth and clear jason’s name. But until then, I want you to get out of my house. And don’t come back unless you have a warrant. You know what’s funny? Every time I mention jason’s name, boy, does it get under your skin. Cates: Mr. Morgan. Special agent john cates. Welcome to quantico. I hope your flight was enjoyable. I have nothing to say without my attorney. You don’t have to say anything at this point. Just listen. You’re about to hear incontrovertible proof of rico violations. Those are federal crimes that carry a 20-year sentence.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I thought we agreed this morning that I would be the one to open up the club tonight. What? You didn’t trust me to be able to do it all on my own? Or are you afraid I’ll eat all the bar snacks?

[ Laughs ] Um, well, that hadn’t occurred to me until you just told on yourself, so I’m gonna keep a watchful eye out. Well, you do what you have to.

[ Chuckles ] What’s going on? Pop, I have some news that I should share with you sooner than later. Sounds important. I found the doctor that misdiagnosed you all those years ago. Jason is… the one that you turn to when… when you’re afraid and when you’re in trouble. He keeps your secrets. He’S… he’s the one that you count on. He’s never failed me. What about the last two and a half years when he let you think he was dead? That doesn’t count as failing you? I don’t know where jason was or what he was doing, but I know he came back as soon as he could. Do — do you hear yourself right now? Because basically you’re saying, like, wherever he was, whatever he was doing, like, you’ll be okay with it. I mean, he could have been lying in a hammock on a tropical island sipping rum, and — and you wouldn’t care? I hope that’s all that happened to jason. I have a feeling it was something worse. Well, whatever it is, we both know that you’re gonna be there for him, by his side, helping him through it. And carly, I’m not gonna be here to watch. W-wait, wait. Are you saying that we’re done?! Why do you sound surprised? Every relationship you’ve ever had has been trashed because of jason. I have not trashed us, drew. Are you doing this because I didn’t call you the second I heard from jason? No, no, I’m doing it because it didn’t even occur to you. Carly… you made your choice. Jason is it for you. Look, I was — I was somebody nice to spend time with while you thought he was dead, but I can’t pretend… oh, my… I can’t pretend that I’m gonna be okay. Being with you, sleeping with you, while your heart and your mind… your trust is with him. So I-I, um… I refuse to ride this out to the bitter end because it’s gonna hurt too much. So I’m getting out now. Thanks for seeing me, anna. Of course. Any update on dante? Uh, no. No changes. He was badly injured. Body takes its own time to heal. That’s why I’m here — the injury. Is there any evidence that jason shot my son? Hey. Sorry I’m late. No, it’s okay.

[ Door closes ] Kids miss you. Yeah? They’re already in bed? In bed and asleep. I checked on them both. Okay. You look awful. Oh, gee, thanks. No, I just — by awful, I mean that you look…tired. Yeah. Worried. I stopped by the hospital, and there’s no change in dante’s condition, no sign of him waking up, so… who was with him? Uh, sam. Sam. Yeah, she’s still trying to wrap her head around the news that jason’s alive.

[ Knock on door ] Hey, danny. Is everything okay up at the house? Fine. I’m here because… I need a favor.

[ Exhales ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales softly ]

[ Winces ]

[ Exhales ]

[ Alarm ringing ] There they are!


You’re telling me that after all this time, you found that doctor? Dr. Paul braddock. You’re certain? It’s the same doctor, paul braddock, who slapped a label on me and ruined my life? I mean, I can’t be 100% certain, pop, but he checks all the boxes. He was — he was on the hospital staff, working at that hospital in baltimore when you were brought in for treatment after your arrest. And he’s still alive? Yeah, yeah, according to the information I was able to access. Of course, he’s retired. He’s living in some — I don’t know — fancy retirement community in westminster, maryland, just outside of baltimore. Pop, we can take a road trip tomorrow

if that’s something you might want to do. Pop, you okay? What… what are you thinking? Not quite sure. I’d always figured he’d be dead by now. I never thought I’d be able to confront the man who — who convinced me I was a danger to my family, the man who introduced me to the word schizophrenia and — and tore my world apart. Yep. That one word was the reason you cut yourself off from everyone you loved and from everyone who loved you. And it turns out, after all this time, I can still look him in the eye. Maybe I could — I could get some answers about myself and — and maybe… maybe see what kind of man he is. Hey, man, it’s a — it’s a lot to take in. Pop, it’s not too much, is it? Aunt stella and I aren’t pushing you toward a confrontation that you’re not ready for, are we? Two individuals were observed on the roof of the warehouse — jason and an unidentified man. Y-you’re already aware of this because spinelli — he was working for you when he put in surveillance, right? Detective chase says he and dante observed the individuals 200 yards from the warehouse, and then they were moving towards the pier, and that’s when dante went after them. 18 minutes after that, 911 call came in reporting that dante had been shot. And voice id confirmed that jason made that call, so we know that he tried to save dante. We don’t know that he shot him. But you don’t know that he didn’T. I need to speak with the commissioner. I’m sorry, agent cates. She’s in with someone. You’ll have to wait.

[ Police radio chatter ] Detective, how long has the commissioner been in with sonny corinthos? Drew, wait, wait! Wait. Come on. Oh, I wish I could… I wish I could tell you that jason didn’t come first. I’m — I didn’T… know this was gonna happen. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I know, I know. I know you didn’t mean to hurt me, and… it doesn’t matter what you did and you didn’t mean. The second that you found out that jason was alive, we were done. So — so, what? Every… everything good between us, it just ends? We pretend like it didn’t happen? What? No. God, no. It happened. It just — it wasn’t enough.

[ Sighs ] I loved every second that I got to spend with you, carly, I really did. But I am not gonna compete with what you have with jason. I don’t want to. Look… uh… I’m a businessman, and I know when to cut my losses and, like… …speaking of that, I-I can’T. I can’t go to work every day and I can’t — I can’t see you. And I know you did an amazing job at crimson, and I know you were only there for me. I know you didn’t want to be there. I — I’m gonna let you off the hook, and I will find somebody else to run the magazine. You’re firing me? No, carly, come on. Your heart wasn’t in it. You take care, okay?

[ Exhales ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Okay. So, uh, what do you need? It’s, uh — it’s — it’s kind of private, sorry. Oh, no. No worries. I have to take this upstairs anyway. So, um… what can I do for you? It’s hard to explain. I need to show you. Can — can you come with me? Right now? It’s important. Okay. All right, let’s go.


You and stella haven’t beenpushing me to do anything I haven’t been thinking about myself for years. So you can let that worry go. Okay. Just know that, uh, you have our support, whatever you decide or decide not to do. I do know that, son. But ever since stella told me about dr. Braddock, I-I haven’t been able to think about much else. Just the chance to be able to talk to the man himself and maybe — and maybe make sense out of what happened to me fills me with hope that I can know once and for all what, if anything, was actually wrong with me. The — the professionals, I think, they call that closure. And I want that for you, pop, more than anything. I don’t care what they call it or what you label it. You’ve suffered enough. You are a good son, curtis. And I thank you. I thank you for all the hard work you did getting me the answers I need. If dr. Braddock can ease your pain even just a little bit, then why are we still sitting here?

[ Laughs ] Let– come on, pop, let’s go. I got a full tank of gas. I just hooked up my playlist with new jazz music. Come on, son. Ooh. We’re closed! Too bad for your customers. Fortunately, I’m not one of them. I do, however, have business with curtis. Selina, I could have saved you a trip. I’ve told you already many times our business is over. I believe I have something that will change your mind. How many times do you need to hear the man say it? You need to go on and get the hell out of this club. And if you’ve forgotten the way, I’d be happy to show you. I’m not afraid of whatever this is that you dragged in here on the bottom of your shoe. That’s just foolish, mr. Ashford. And you’ve never been a foolish man. Pop, pop, don’t get worked up. Don’t do ’em dirty yet. I can handle this. Ms. Wu, I have nothing to say to you. And I’m quite certain I am not interested in anything you have to say. Even if it’s information leading to the identity of the person who shot you? You have a reason to believe that jason would shoot dante? All I know is you’re searching for jason. Well, we’re searching for both men. We’ve identified jason. We can’t pull a clear image of the other man’s face from the footage. And he’s disappeared. And so has jason. Well, jason didn’t disappear. He jumped off a bridge so he wouldn’t get arrested. Right. If he died in the fall, we would have recovered his body from the river by now, and we haven’t, so therefore, the assumption is that he is still alive and he’s injured. How do you know that he’s injured? There’s a bullet hole in — in the sweatshirt that was used to bandage dante, and forensics pulled two different blood samples from it, dante’s and jason’S. I don’t know how long the commissioner has been in with corinthos, but maybe you can ask her when they’re done. It’s pretty clear she’s not interrogating him. You know, I couldn’t say. I commend your discretion, detective, but doesn’t it bother you just a little that your superior is in close conversation with a known racketeer? Nope. Working out or beating someone up?

[ Laughs ] Little of both. Mm. I know the feeling.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hi. How’s dante? Um, he is, uh… critical but — but stable. Yeah. Have you heard from jason? I’ve seen him.

[ Exhales ] Jason? Hey, michael. Oh, my god. Oh. He was shot. H-how long have you been here? Uh, since last night, early this morning. Danny found me. Uh, he brought me, um, a first-aid kit. But I do not want to ask him for anything else. I don’t mind. I know, I know. But it wasn’t fair for me to bring you into this. Hey, you should — you just sit down. Come on. Oh, man.

[ Sighs ] Can you just — can you take him back up to the house? I think I can find my own way back there. No, I-I know, danny. I know you can… I know you can find your way back. I just want to make sure you stay up there. Why don’t you want my help anymore? Because I’m wanted by the police, and you shouldn’t be anywhere near it. I’m glad that you found me. I am. I shouldn’t be. But I missed you every day when I was gone. What’s gonna happen to you now?

[ Sighs ] Michael’s gonna help me figure that out. Please, danny. You helped me when I needed you. Now just… help me by staying out of it. Sure. Whatever. Michael, can you go af– can you go after him? Yeah, yeah. I’ll be right back.


I know you’re feeling helpless. I understand that you want to do something, anything, to make a difference for your son. Pray. Go sit by dante’s side. But do not go off to jason or this other man yourself, because you don’t have all the information and you’re gonna wind up doing more harm than good. Are you saying you got the name of the person who put my son in this wheelchair? Hang on a second, dad. I know this game. And we’re not playing. What game? The game where you offer me so-called information in exchange for access to my back room for your poker games. It’s not going to happen. You have me all wrong. Oh, that would be a first. And see, I’m also aware that you’re having trouble finding a new space. Curtis, there are penthouses all over town that will jump at the kind of money I have to offer. Are you sure about that? Because after the fbi and pcpd raid on your warehouse, it would seem that your power base is shaky, at best. That’s quite an exaggeration, but it’s true that my life was threatened at night, and I cannot and will not abide it. You and i have been deceived. That’s why I’m here. Not to bargain, but to give you a warning. I’m listening. It appears that the man who shot you is jason morgan. And we both know that he only acts under sonny’s orders. You’re saying sonny corinthos wanted curtis dead? Where was jason? When did you see him? I saw him last night at my house. So before he jumped from the bridge? Yeah. What did he tell you? Where has he been? Well, he barely had a chance to say anything because anna and agent cates showed up and they searched my house. Did he tell you who shot dante? No. Okay. So — so the — what I was told, that there was a sweatshirt that was wrapped around dante, used as a bandage, and it had jason’s blood on it, so he was obviously there. Yeah, I mean, it seems like it. Well, he either was or he wasn’t, and he obviously was. Carly, what did jason tell you about the shooting? He didn’t say anything, sam. He didn’t say a word about dante. Please don’t let me interrupt. Sounds like you got some frustrations to work out, too. So, uh, be my guest. I’m just, uh… having second thoughts, that’s all. About? I was dante falconeri’s superior for a few years. I want to be out there searching for the man who shot him. But I’m not a cop anymore. I’m the deputy mayor. And I just remembered the man police are searching for is your brother. I apologize. What are you apologizing for? Because you hope the police will find jason? I hope they do, too. Sam, come here. Look, I told you, jason and I barely had a chance to talk. I mean, when I realized I wasn’t hallucinating and he was really there, I saw that he was injured. So I went to get a first-aid kit, and I was barely able to give him a bandage when the police showed up. By injured, you mean shot? Yes. And he didn’t say who shot him? No. Did it ever occur to you to ask? I already told you, there wasn’t time. Sam, why are you being like this? Oh, I don’t know, carly. Maybe because my ex-husband, who I thought was dead, is alive. And possibly shot the man that I love. Hey. Hey. Is everything okay? Um, all right, look, jason’s in the boathouse. He — he was shot. Danny brought him a first-aid kit, but he needs a nurse. Can you help him? Of course. I’ll, uh, get my medical bag. Wh– what about the kids? Uh, danny’s gonna stay back in case one of them wakes up. Okay. All right, um, just call, one of us to come right back. I don’t have a phone. My mom took it ’cause I’m grounded. Okay. All right. Just take mine. The password is 123412. Okay. I’m ready. We’ll be back as soon as we can. Just make sure he’s okay. Yeah.


Jason? Willow. Michael says you need a nurse. No. No, no, I don’t — I don’t want you involved. Too late. I-I thought you were taking danny back up to the house. Danny’s at our house with the kids. K-kids? Yeah. Wiley and amelia. Willow and I have a little girl. Congratulations. I’m happy for both of you. I need to check your wound.

[ Groans ] The bullet went through.

[ Winces ] It will still need to be cleaned and sutured. Okay. Sonny would not order a hit on his own son, and jason would never target him. So your intel is wack. How well do you know sonny, really? Think about it. Sonny escapes not one, not two, but three attempts on his life and emerges again and again unscathed. That seems statistically unlikely, does it not? Not for someone who’s been on top as long as sonny. The man is surrounded by bodyguards and security. The shooting at the pool, even the events at the warehouse — those could have been staged. As for puerto rico, how can we know what, if anything, actually happened? Were you there? I certainly wasn’T. I’m sorry, selina, but everything you’re saying sounds statistically unlikely. Not if you factor in what I believe to be sonny’s long-term plan. I’m waiting. To annex new territory for which he’d need a trusted enforcer who no one saw coming, which fits in with jason’s sudden death on cassadine island a little more than two years ago. Now you’re the one that sounds paranoid. There are worse things to be right now. Jason works for sonny, always has and always will. And it appears sonny is done with any kind of compromise, and anyone who stands in his way surely won’t be there long. Just a few things to think about. Mr. Ashford. This changes everything. Okay, I’m just gonna ask.

[ Grunts ] Go for it. Your brother’s wanted for shooting a cop, and you want him taken into custody? Absolutely. If he’s innocent, the best thing he can do is turn himself in and prove it. You said “if.” I did. So you admit that there’s a chance that jason shot dante? You would know better than me. I’m sure anna devane has briefed you on the investigation. I’m just saying I would have expected you to insist that jason’s innocent. Based on what? I wasn’t there. I haven’t seen the evidence. And I don’t know jason well enough anymore to know what he would or wouldn’t do.

[ Grunts ] Jason did not shoot dante. And no, I don’t have any proof. But I know that because I know jason. You know jason. He would never do something like that. No, I hope that he didn’T. Carly, I pray that he didn’T. But while jason has been god knows where doing god knows what, dante has been here helping me raise his son. So if jason is the reason why dante is laying in that bed right now, hooked up to those machines, I will never forgive him. Can you tell us what happened?

[ Sighs ] I-I mean, not — you know, not all — ooh — not — not all of it. Dante was chasing me and, um, another guy, hamish. And, uh, he told us to stop.

[ Sighs ] I did. Hamish didn’T. I turned around. Dante recognized me. He lowered his gun, and then hamish shot him. I knew it wasn’t you. I went to check on dante, then hamish took a shot at me. There’s a lot of shooting. Yeah. What happened to hamish? He’s dead. When josslyn and dex got to the pier and they saw dante there, he was — he was alone, so… yeah. Um…

[ Clears throat ] Ooh. Sorry. I did — it’s okay. I did everything I could for dante. I called 911, and I did not leave until I heard the sirens coming. Jason, you saved his life. I’m the reason he got shot in the first place.


You know I want justice for dante. Yeah. Well, let me get it. I can’t even believe we’re having this conversation. I’m telling you to find jason when usually I’m the one hiding jason. But I don’t know jason anymore, especially in the last two and a half years. Or more. Look, biologically, [Chuckles] Jason and I are twins. Right? But that’s where the connection ends. I can’t explain why he does what he does. And the last thing that I want is to matter to someone because I’m jason’s brother. Okay, and by someone, you mean…? Well, it’s a… long list, but, yeah, carly’s at the top. Look, we broke up a few hours ago. I broke up with her. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Breakups are never easy. Holding on to something that’s never gonna work — that’s… that’s worse. Yeah. I learned my own lesson about that. Hey. I’m sorry. I — I shouldn’t be dumping on you like this. No, no. That’s fine. Everyone needs to vent sometimes. Even the deputy mayor?

[ Chuckles ] Well, go ahead. Look, I vented to you. Now it’s your turn. Is he gonna be okay? Yeah, I think so. Um, willow was able to dress his wound. She’s just gonna stay with him for a little bit, monitor him, make sure that he doesn’t have a-a fever. Right, right. That’s — that’s good. Yeah. It must have been a pretty big shock for you to find him in there. Bet he was as shocked as I was. Not that you could tell, right? I-I could. As crazy as it was finding him there, it was — it was good to see him. Yeah. He says he didn’t shoot dante. Do you believe him? I do, but the police think he’s guilty, and he ran away. Doesn’t that make him look even guiltier? Jason ran because he had no other choice. Did he tell you that? No, I just know. Look, danny, your — your father is a good man, the best man I have ever known. And he has a reason for everything that he did. And when he can, he will tell us what those reasons are.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh.

[ Mumbles ] Hey, ned. Yeah, yeah, danny’s — danny’s here. We, uh — we just got caught up, um… caught up playing video games, but, uh, I-I’ll send him up. Okay. Nice job covering. Yeah. Got kind of used to it. Um, you better go. Look, you don’t want them sending yuri to look for you because they might check the boathouse. Right. Okay. Um, will you come by the house in the morning? Yes, I will find you and give you a full update. Thanks. Danny? No one can know about this. I know. Drink this, and I’ll bring you more. Okay. Thank you. Try to rest. It’s very important, okay? I’ll be back with blankets and more fluids. Nah, you don’t — you don’t need to do that. Yes, I do. Like it or not, you’re my patient now.


Pop, don’t tell me you’re buying any of that stuff selina wu was selling. That woman has reasons for doing everything she does, and none of them involve helping anyone except selina wu. I’m aware. She’s not exactly what I would call a subtle woman, but I think you owe it to yourself to chase down any lead on who might have shot you, even if the source of that lead is less than ideal. This is not the time for us to be running down to maryland to make sense of my distant past. Pop, it’s not a distant past. You’re misdiagnosis — it stayed in your heart, every step, every day of your life. I still think you’re dealing with it. Then another couple of days won’t matter.

[ Sighs ] Look, so many people are looking for jason morgan. I don’t need to be one more of them. I don’t know. There’s a lot going on here. Maybe — I think it’s best we stay home for now. I hear you, pop. I hear you. Tell me this. Um… until you find out what led to your misdiagnosis, do you think you’ll ever know one moment of true peace? Because if you can look me in my face and tell me that not knowing doesn’t weigh on your soul every day, then we’ll stay right here.

[ Chuckles ] Ah, ha, ha, see? Pop, that settles it. Okay? We — we — we’re gonna go to the fancy retirement home in westminster, maryland, okay? We’re gonna talk to dr. Braddock, and we’re gonna get the answers that you need so you can live some semblance of a peaceful life. I understand police work,but city government, it’s — it’s like a puzzle where all the pieces keep changing. So quit. I couldn’t do that to laura. Besides, anna’s commissioner now. Okay. Well, you could always go back to being detective — chief of detectives. I’m sure they’d be happy to have you. Yeah, well, I’m not a quitter. Besides, in between all of the meetings, I get glimpses of the bigger picture. Solving cases helps one person, one family at a time. Mm. But a good city government helps everyone in the city. For what it’s worth, I admire you for sticking it out. And I’m also grateful. My headquarters are in port charles, and when the city looks good, so does aurora. Well, in that case, maybe we can discuss ways aurora can promote the city of port charles and raise its profile. Let’s set a meeting. Hey. How’s jason? Dehydrated and exhausted. He needs to rest. Can you grab the spare blanket from the hall closet upstairs? I’m gonna pack up all the bottled water and juice boxes we have. Willow, willow, willow, just… thank you for helping him. I want to help him. I just wish I understood what kind of trouble he’s in. The doctors keep telling us to be patient. That dante was gravely injured and that it’s gonna take time. But none of them can tell us how much time it’s gonna take and if dante is actually gonna wake up. I’m sorry. I wish there was something I could do. I’m sure there is something you can do, carly. If jason tries to contact you… …call the police. Anna is my superior, and I have no reason to question her action or motives. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a case to work. Welcome home, jason. Agent cates, can I help you? I wanted to walk through the evidence, but if you’re busy… I am. We’re done. We’re done. Anna, um, thank you for giving me some time. Anytime. Jagger. Sonny. I’m very sorry to hear about your son. Why don’t you prove that badge of yours means something and find the bastard who shot my son?

Ridge: You softened the shoulder. Looks nice.

Thomas: Yeah, I think it gives a more elegant flow down the back.

Ridge: It does. How’s it feel?

Petra: It was perfect before, but now it’s even more perfect.

Ridge: It’s almost impossible.

Thomas: Reminds me of my relationship with hope.

Ridge: All right, petra, I think that’s enough for today. Why don’t you tell harold there are no changes.

Petra: Always a pleasure, ridge, thomas.

Thomas: Thanks.

Ridge: Well done, son.

Thomas: Hey, you gave me the idea.

Ridge: No, not just your work. Your personal life.

Hope: I don’t understand what has gotten into me.

Thomas: Hm…

Hope: Why I can’t get enough of you.

[ Door opens ]

Brooke: You okay, honey? You seem a little flushed.

Hope: Uh, yes, you– you caught me. I happened to be thinking of thomas.

Liam: Well, the, uh, multi-platform ad structure’s kicking up revenue nicely.

Bill: You said it would.

Liam: Oh, it’s so nice to be right.

Bill: Well, that’s the kind of confidence that spencer needs at the top. I’m glad to see you stepping up, son.

Liam: Yeah, well, I’m happy to do it, especially since, uh, you’re focused on something else right now. Or should I say someone else?

Bill: All right, all right I– I will admit that poppy has been on my mind quite a bit lately.

Poppy: You’re not going into the office?

Luna: I rolled some calls earlier and now I’m prepping for a meeting. I thought you were going out.

Poppy: Are you trying to avoid me? Luna, I hate this tension between us. Okay, I mean, I feel awful about what’s happened because–

Luna: I don’t want to think about that night anymore, mom. Accidentally taking your mints, pretty much hallucinating, sleeping with zende. I just– I just want to focus on my work.

Poppy: Luna… it was a mistake. I’m so sorry. Please… please would you forgive me?

Luna: I wish I could talk to my father about this.

Ridge: You and hope doing okay?

Thomas: Stronger every day.

Ridge: Makes me very happy.

Thomas: Last night was kind of a highlight.

Ridge: You did something special?

Thomas: Yeah, well, granddad and donna, they were watching the kids, so I decided to take advantage of the moment. Uh, we had some dinner and reminisced about the past. The way it all began.

Hope: Thomas actually ordered us a feast from il giardino. And he went out of his way to find a chianti from the year that douglas was born. And it was all to just recapture the romance and the magic that we felt in rome.

Brooke: OH.

Hope: He’s always doing thoughtful things like that. Going out of his way to make me feel special and loved.

Brooke: He certainly gives you a lot of attention.

Hope: Well, yeah, it feels good for a change. You know, being a priority in someone’s life and finally being the only woman.

Poppy: You want to talk to your father?

Luna: Yeah, I do.

Poppy: Luna.

Luna: I’m sorry, okay? I’m not trying to hurt you. I mean, I’ve always been able to come to you with all of my problems, but… I can’T. Not about this. Not– not about zende and the mix-up with the mints.

Poppy: Because I’m the cause of it.

Luna: I can’t even open up to rj or my friends at the office about it. Mom, it’S… it’s eating me up. Holding this inside, I just– I need to know who my father is.

[]

Thomas: Do you ever have like 14 designs ruminating in your mind at once? It occupies a lot of space. Like, it’s really great, but it’s also stressful. I– I feel like that’s what last night was about. Like, I wanted to get away from the stress, take hope and get away from it all, like we did in italy. Like it was in rome, where all that magic came alive.

Ridge: Well, it sounds like last night was magical too.

Thomas: Yeah. Hope is like the best surprise I’ve ever gotten in my life.

Ridge: But it’s not a surprise. It didn’t come out of nowhere. You worked on who you are as a man, as a father, and hope sees that and she wants it in her life.

Thomas: Yeah, well, I want her in my life for sure, and I– I just can’t imagine a life without her, actually.

Brooke: Well, there is no question that thomas is completely devoted to you. And you love the way he loves you. But how do you feel about him, honey? And I know you’re having fun, but is this really the guy that you want to spend your life with?

Hope: Thomas is the man who made me realize what I deserve. What it feels like to be loved completely. His passion for me is genuine, mom, and it is not obsessive anymore. It is healthy, and it is– it’s beautiful. And in turn, it makes me feel… beautiful.

Bill: Not everything comes down to magic, liam. It could just be plain old good timing. Two people who want the same thing at the same time in their life.

Liam: Yeah, except you yourself said that this feels different, that there is this special connection.

Bill: Yeah, because we go so far back.

Liam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, because you go so far back. Or…

Bill: Oh, here we go.

Liam: Or… poppy’s in los angeles to give you something you have never had before.

Poppy: Okay, luna, I realize you’re feeling isolated.

Luna: No, I’ve always wondered who my father is. But you always shut me down. You haven’t told me anything, mom, and I– I’ve always put up with that in the past because I didn’t want to upset you or make you feel like I was disappointed in you.

Poppy: And now you are disappointed.

Luna: That’s not why I’m asking. Mom, I did something totally out of character. I mean, betraying the man that I love? That is so not me.

Poppy: It wasn’t you. It was the mints.

Luna: Okay, then what about the lying and– and keeping secrets? Everything that I’m doing now? I don’t know, mom, but maybe knowing who my father is might help. Why? Why won’t you tell me who he is? Known as a passionate artist.

Bill: All right, I may regret it, but I’ll bite. What do you think poppy’s giving me?

Liam: Aside from a chance to step away from the office so I can steer the ship for a minute?

Bill: Yeah, just don’t forget who daddy is.

Liam: What you’ve never had before, daddy, is someone in your life who met you as bill. Not billionaire business mogul, bill. Not dollar bill. Just bill.

Bill: You’re right. She does see me that way. And she gets me out of my head. You know, away from my considerable ego. And you know that’s not an easy thing to do. Ah, liam, it is just really great with poppy. We’re just– we’re not labeling it. It’s not, uh, what are we? Who are we? Where are we going? What is this? And at the same time, I feel like anything is possible. I mean, it’s really exciting. I have no idea what could happen next. You know, I texted poppy earlier about getting together, but I think I’m gonna pay her a visit right now.

Liam: Right now? You’re gonna do this?

Bill: Yeah, so when the check comes, make sure you leave a big fat tip there.

Liam: All right. Good luck.

Bill: I don’t need it. I mean, if we’re meant to be, I’m going to show up there at just the right time.

Luna: Tell me who he is, mom. Just give me a name and I’ll do the rest. You owe me this.

Poppy: Okay, luna, you know what? Your emotions are all stirred up. Would you just gave it some time? Focus on the good things, like– like how much rj cares about you. Then what happened that night–

Luna: I don’t want to talk about what happened that night, mom. If I had a dad, I’d talk to him about it, but he’s not in my life because you don’t want him to be.

Poppy: No, it’s not like that.

Luna: Then why won’t you answer my question?

Poppy: Because we’re just fine on our own. We don’t need anyone else. It’s always just been the two of us. And that’s our power. That’s always been enough.

Luna: Maybe it’s not enough anymore.

Thomas: Things are coming together for us, dad. I know hope loves me.

Ridge: I can see why she would.

Thomas: I just wish that brooke could believe that, too.

Hope: I am so happy, mom, and… can you please just be happy for me, too?

[ Knock on door ]

Luna: Bill?

Bill: Luna, hi. Yeah, I– I came by to surprise poppy.

Luna: Um, she’s not here. She just left.

Bill: Are you okay? Why– why are you upset? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Ridge: Brooke isn’t standing between the two of you.

Thomas: She’s not supporting us either.

Ridge: Why do you say that? ‘Cause she wasn’t throwing confetti when she saw the ring on the necklace?

Thomas: Well, I wasn’t expecting anyone to throw confetti. Actually, we didn’t really want anyone to know about the proposal.

Ridge: Well, I’m glad you told me.

Thomas: I love her, dad. Her beauty, her goodness. It’s just– I believe that very, very, very soon, she’s gonna take that ring off her necklace and put it on her finger.

Brooke: Honey, you’re happy, and I love that. And that is all that I want for you.

Hope: Okay, but then why is it so hard for you to give thomas credit for that?

Brooke: I have my reservations.

Hope: Mom, I had my reservations, too. It took me a while to trust him and to open my heart up to him. And he’s given me his. Every bit of it. And that was even before the ring and the proposal. I mean, that was through his words and his actions, his devotion. He’s given me his whole heart. I mean, the kids feel it, too, mom. All of us. We feel so secure with him, with thomas. He makes me happy and I just– can you just give us a chance? Please, mom, can… do you think you could support my relationship with thomas?

Bill: You’re definitely upset.

Luna: It’s nothing.

Bill: It’s obviously something. Is it the forrester kid?

Luna: What?

Bill: Did he hurt you?

Luna: No, no, no, he would never.

Bill: Then what’s going on?

Luna: I’m fine.

Bill: Well, you don’t look fine. I, um, I mean, you look– you look beautiful. But you’re– you’re– you’re sad. Your mom wouldn’t want that. You said your mom was here. And she left. Did you have an argument? Um… I know all about parents and their kids butting heads. I mean, not so much mothers’ and daughters but… you know, I have three sons, right? Liam, wyatt, and– and will. And I probably drive them crazy on a– on a daily basis, but that’s only because I want the best for them. So I try to– I– I guide them and I– I try to teach them, and… some people might describe my personality as being somewhat intense and maybe a bit, uh, combustible, right? I’ll admit that I go too far sometimes. But I mean, you know, parents can do that because they just really love their kids, and sometimes we just can’t get out of our own way. Is that maybe what happened with you and your mom?

Luna: Um, yeah, we had an– an argument. And it’s been pretty tense between us lately. You know, it’s, uh, it’s really nice hearing you talk about your sons and how much you love them.

Bill: Luna, your mom loves you just as much.

Luna: Yeah, but you’re a dad. It’s different.

Bill: Is it?

Luna: Maybe. I don’t know. I mean, I’ve– I’ve never had one.

Bill: Yeah.

Luna: I mean, I’m not trying to say that dads are better. You know, like dads over moms. That’s not the point I’m trying to make. I mean, it’s the love that matters and being there for your kid. My mom’s always been there for me, but, you know, there’s like a part of me that’s missing and… she doesn’t understand that. Or, I don’t know, she doesn’t want to understand it. Because… every time I bring it up, she just… god, I just can’t let it go anymore. I need to know. I need to know who my father is.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Finn, what is it?

Finn: I can’t stop seeing her.

Steffy: Who?

Finn: Sheila.

Bill: Thank you.

Liam: Ah, thank you. What are you in the mood for?

Bill: I don’t know. Pizza, pasta. You buying?

Liam: Well, technically, if I’m buying, you’re buying, so yeah, I’m buying.

Bill: Good boy. Well, this I know for sure. It’s going to be a lot more enjoyable eating here now that sheila is permanently out of commission. And out of our lives.

Thomas: I hope you saved some room, because I whipped up something special.

Hope: Oh, well, your whipping-up skills have certainly been impressive thus far. I mean, you sure know how to order well.

Thomas: No, no, no. This time I actually made it myself. I want you to guess.

Hope: Um… brownies.

Thomas: Brown– brownies. You thought that I– special date night, I made brownies?

Hope: Douglas says that he loves making brownies with you, and it’s not exactly like you have all the free time in the world to study puff pastry.

Thomas: Okay, you do make a point, but this is something a little different. Okay, do you remember that little cafe off of imperiali? We had coffee, and…

Hope: You made panna cotta.

Thomas: I made panna cotta. It’s actually not that hard after the 11th try. Let me know what you think.

Hope: Gladly. Thomas, thank you. All of this has been so sweet. The wine, the music, the food.

Thomas: Look, you love italy, right? And italian food? So do I. And it also reminds me of that wonderful time that we’ll never forget.

Hope: I’ll never forget it either.

Liam: You– listen, you get no argument from me. Sheila’s death was…

Bill: A long time coming. And now that it has, it’ll all be a lot easier.

Liam: Well, not all. I mean, steffy I’m not so sure about yet.

Bill: How’s she doing?

Liam: As you’d expect. On the one hand, she’s relieved not to be living under threat of sheila for the rest of her life. On the other hand, she’s the one who eliminated that threat herself.

Bill: And we’re all grateful for that.

Liam: Yeah, you just imagine what she’s going through, right? ‘Cause steffy’s not a violent person. So, for her to pick up a knife and plunge it into sheila as she was lunging at her…

Bill: Well, it sounds like it was her only option and she was totally justified in doing it.

Lima: Absolutely, it was. 100%. It’s just that from steffy’s point of view, she has to live with this for the rest of her life, having killed somebody, self-defense or not.

Steffy: You can’t stop seeing sheila. What do you mean?

Finn: I– I– I keep seeing flashes of her just– just lying on the floor. And look, I know that it’s not real, but it seems– it seems real.

Steffy: It’s okay, it’s okay. Everything’s all right. Okay, come here. It’s gonna be okay. It’s gonna be okay. The power of a skin filler

Hope: Let me do the dishes.

Thomas: No! Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. That’s not how this works. I don’t invite a wonderful, beautiful, sexy woman over to my mojo dojo casa house and then cook her a wonderful meal and force her to do the dishes. That’s not what happens.

Hope: Well, I volunteered. But, I mean, if you want to do things your way…

Thomas: My way? If we were doing things my way, we wouldn’t be talking about dishes.

[ Both chuckling ] Oh, I love the way you smile. I love the way you make me smile. I just, um, I guess I’m feeling a little guilty right now.

Hope: For what?

Thomas: Steffy. Everything she’s going through, I just wish I could be there to help her.

Hope: You are helping her, thomas. You’ve been such a supporter, loving her and caring for her the way a big brother should.

Thomas: I don’t know. I mean, look, she went through something terrible. She had sheila break into her home. She was just trying to have a night alone, and then she… had to kill someone. That’S…

Hope: Look, as strong as steffy is, taking a life, even if it is justified, that is still a horrifying thing.

Thomas: Yes, and she’s traumatized right now and she deserves to have someone there to help her. I just wish finn could put his stuff aside.

Hope: Finn is struggling too.

Thomas: I know finn’s struggling. I just, I think he can compartmentalize a little bit and help her, and… you know what? We’re not supposed to be talking about them. This night is about us.

Hope: It is. I mean, you brought italy all the way over here to us.

Thomas: Yeah. It’s not the same as being there, though, is it?

Hope: You came pretty close. But you do have a point. There is only one roma.

Thomas: That’s right. The one that we shared together.

Hope: I wanna go back.

Thomas: We should.

Hope: When?

Thomas: There’s nothing stopping us. Let’s go.

Hope: What exactly are you saying?

Bill: You have gotta be kidding me.

Liam: Not kidding you. Steffy’s the one who told me.

Bill: Her husband, the man who supposedly loves and cares about her, walks out on steffy when she needs him most?

Liam: Which, as you can imagine, upsets steffy just a little bit.

Bill: Upset? She should be furious. This guy abandons her at a time like this?

Liam: It’s not that he’s not loyal to steffy. Because he understands that she never would’ve picked up that knife. She never would’ve done what she did if there was any other option. What he’s all messed up about is that it was his wife who killed his birth mother.

Bill: His birth mother was a psycho who was in and out of prison for years. And now she’s dead and he’s developed some kind of bizarre mommy’s boy connection to her?

Liam: Oh, no, but you see, according to finn, it’s “complicated.”

Bill: It’s just nuts. I hope you told him that. You said you went to see him.

Lima: Oh, yeah, well, when i found out that he walked out on steffy, yeah, I did go see him.

Bill: Gave him a piece of your mind.

Liam: I didn’t mince words. Not that the guy gives a damn what I think.

Bill: So, he just got defensive?

Liam: He got defensive because he just thinks I’m– I’m, like, waiting in the wings to pick up all the pieces when, you know, this doesn’t work out with him and steffy.

Bill: Well, is that what you’re doing, liam?

Liam: Well, it is like you said. At this moment, finn’s focus should be on steffy and his family and being exactly the man that steffy needs him to be. And… if he can’t do that, it’s like I told steffy. I can.

Steffy: Finn, this is a really traumatic time. It’s not gonna be easy, but we’re gonna get through it, okay? So tell me, what’s– what’s going on with you?

Finn: I just, um, oh, when I– when I got the fire going, when you went to change and I moved the gate, and– I don’t know, I– I felt, like, this presence. But then I– I turned back and it was nothing. But then I– I felt it again. But only this time, I saw it. It was– it was my mom. She was laying there bloody. And as soon as I saw it, it disappeared. And I don’t know if it was just, like, what I imagined she looked like, but then you came back and we were on the couch and I saw it again. Only this time, she called out my name. And as soon as I saw it, it was just like a flash and it was gone. It was just– it was just like my dream. Only this time I was awake, right here, like, right on the floor. I don’t– what’s happening to me? If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Hope: Oh, you wanna whisk me away to rome?

Thomas: I would like nothing better.

Hope: Me too.

Thomas: Really?

Hope: Really. I miss it. You know, I miss the people and the places. The history. Ugh, the food. And as delicious as this meal was… I don’t know, there was still that amazing meal that we had at our favorite restaurant down by the spanish steps. Remember?

Thomas: How could I forget? How could I forget anything we shared in rome? This is where it happens, hope. Your vision brought to life.

Hope: This dream wouldn’t be a reality if it wasn’t for you.

Hope: Rome is where all of this started for us.

Thomas: The love, the romance, the beauty. Rome will always be with us.

Bill: I’m impressed, son.

Liam: With what?

Bill: With steffy, that she can always count on you.

Liam: Oh. Well, she can always count on me. That’s not just words.

Bill: I know. Just like I also know that you will always love her.

Liam: Well, we do share a beautiful daughter together.

Bill: Yes, you do, but this isn’t just about kelly. Your feelings for steffy will never go away.

Liam: No, they won’T. She’s a part of me. Always will be.

Stefy: Finn, I know this isn’t easy to hear, but… sheila is gone.

Finn: No, I– I know. It’s just… I think my mind is just playing tricks.

Steffy: It’s just gonna take some time to process. Make sense of it all.

Finn: Yeah.

[ Phone ringing ]

Steffy: Hold on. It’s liam. I don’t have to take this.

Finn: Answer it, ’cause it might be about kelly.

Steffy: Hey, liam. Is kelly okay?

Liam: No, no, kelly’s fine.

Steffy: Okay, thank god.

Liam: Everything all right?

Steffy: It will be.

Liam: Are you, uh– are you alone?

Steffy: No, I’m with finn right now. It’s a bad time. Let’s talk later.

Liam: Okay, all right, but–

Bill: Steffy okay?

Liam: I hope so.

Bill: Couldn’t tell?

Liam: I– no, but I’ve got a bad feeling it’s got something to do with finn.

Steffy: I feel awful that you’re going through this.

Finn: I mean, look, so are you.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: I mean, everything that’s happened.

Steffy: We make quite the pair, huh?

[ Finn chuckles ] And no matter how difficult this is, and yes, we are both having different reactions to this, we are gonna get through it. We’re gonna overcome this. Tell me you understand that, finn. Bipolar 1, I got help to push back.

Hope: I agree that the romance and the spirit of rome just never left us. And I don’t ever wanna lose sight of that.

Thomas: We won’T. I mean, you know, there’s a place that I remember above all else, a place that has so much history, especially for us.

Hope: Could it be… colosseum? Where I finally gave in and kissed you?

Thomas: Mm-hmm. That’s where our future began. A future that still awaits us.

Bill: Well, well, well. The good doctor finally finds his way back home.

Liam: It’s about time.

Bill: Considering the hell that steffy’s been through, he should be there for her.

Liam: Yeah, well, he will if he gets his head on straight. The woman’s dead. He needs to let her be dead. Not just for his sake, but for steffy’S.

Steffy: And you have a beautiful mind. You’re smart and you’re analytical. It’s one of the many reasons I fell in love with you. Okay, so why don’t we just talk about this as facts, all right? Sheila died. She died here, in our home. And now you’re getting these, like, flashes. And you weren’t there when it happened, but these flashes are taking you there, like… I’m just– I’m trying to make sense of this all. I’m trying to help. I really am.

Finn: Yeah, yeah.

Steffy: Well, she’s been taken to the morgue.

Finn: Hey. I appreciate what you’re doing. You’re so sweet. I mean, look, I agree, but I– you know, I know all this. It’s not like I’m confused or not believing what happened. The fact of the matter is, I’m having these flashes of sheila lying on the floor, and I just… I don’t know what’s going on with me. I mean, it’s just– I know it sounds crazy, but maybe I am going crazy.

Steffy: Finn, you’re under a lot of stress right now. Sheila’s death has taken a toll, and your mind’s just trying to catch up with you.

Finn: You’re the best. I’m sorry. I just– the last thing you need right now is me like this. I’m your husband. I should be your rock, but instead you’re… being that for me.

Steffy: It’s okay. It’s what I signed up for. Don’t sell yourself short. Having you here is just as important to me. I don’t wanna go through this alone. And I know you don’t want that either. We will overcome this, okay? We will. As long as we’re together. We’ll get through it.

Finn: That’s right.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chance: Hm, last night was–

[ Summer hushes ]

Summer: Don’t break the spell.

Chance: Right, right, right, right. Definitely not morning. We definitely didn’t oversleep.

Summer: Now, with the shades drawn, we could pretend all day.

Chance: It feels like midnight to me.

[ Phones pinging ]

Summer: No.

Chance: Sound of reality.

Billy: Rough night?

Phyllis: Mm. None of your business.

Billy: You know, I’ll be forever indebted to you for showing me that hangover cure that you actually saved me with. I can head on into the kitchen and find some raw eggs. It works every time.

Phyllis: Thank you, but no thank you. I’ve learned that some of my, um, great ideas weren’t so great after all.

[ Knocking on door ]

Nick: Hey, you’re back. I thought you were staying with connor.

Adam: Uh, chelsea is with him. He’s got a few more sessions with the, um, with the ocd specialist.

Nick: Sorry, adam. I… know how tough it can be when your kid’s facing something like this. Look, you don’t have to be here right now, man. Go take care of your family.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’ll cover a few meetings, and then I’ll head back. But mainly, I came to get some of connor’s things that he’s been missing. And he doesn’t want, uh, anyone else to touch it. It’s part of his– his thing.

Nick: Well, if there’s anything I can do to help connor or you, just ask.

Adam: Well, I appreciate that. Uh, I’m actually supposed to meet dad. But I don’t know where he is. And now it’s looking like he is mia.

Adam: Saw the news that claire was released. Gotta say, I was not surprised about that.

Nick: I guess you haven’t heard the latest.

Adam: Hm?

Nick: Last night, victoria’s house burned down. Thank god no one was there.

Adam: What? How did that happen?

[ Phones pinging ] “Come to the ranch. Important.” Okay. Why is michael summoning us?

Nick: Can’t be good.

Adam: All right, well, let’s go. Nick?

Nick: I just got some, uh, some information I’ve been waiting for. It’s something I got to handle.

Adam: Well, is it christian?

Nick: I just got to take care of this, adam. I’ll meet you at the ranch.

Nikki: Oh, michael, thank god! Where’s victor? Why isn’t he with you? What’s happened?

Jordan: 10 more miles down this road. And don’t even think about doing anything foolish.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Jordan: I don’t think anyone’s followed us.

Victor: When I make a deal, I stand by it, all right? And no one knew where you and I were meeting. Besides that, I gave myself up willingly to ensure your escape.

Jordan: Because you aren’t foolish enough to work against me.

Victor: I would say.

[ Jordan chuckles ]

Jordan: So, uh, tell me, what does your family think of our little arrangement? They can’t be too happy that I’m going to be living the rest of my life out in the lap of luxury in some french chateau on your dime.

Victor: Right. I made that decision on my own, all right?

Jordan: Oh, don’t lie to me. You had help with your plan. Nikki’s poor, tragic, alcoholic friend gave you my phone number. And then my ingrate niece, claire, called me with your message, which she will regret soon.

Victor: Wait a minute. Wasn’t it enough for you to burn down my daughter’s house?

Jordan: For claire’s betrayal? No. No. I– I devoted my life to that girl, and she abandons me the minute she thinks that she’s being welcomed by the newman family, the family that destroyed her grandmother, my sister. Is that what you’re doing? Are you welcoming her? Or are you merely just using her the way you used eve?

Victor: For your information, your niece, claire, was only too happy to seal your fate.

Nikki: You sent me one text hours ago telling me not to worry, that everything had gone according to plan.

Michael: And I stand by that.

Nikki: All right, well, now I want to know everything else. Every detail. Has jordan been arrested? Why hasn’t victor tried to contact me? Where–

Michael: All right, nikki, nikki, I am sorry things have had to be so cryptic and clandestine.

Nikki: Will you just please tell me?

Michael: All right. Jordan has not been arrested.

Nikki: Well, where the hell is she? Did she even show up?

Michael: Before I can answer the rest of your questions, victor insisted that i explain the final phase of his plan to the entire family so that you would all get the whole picture, and it would make sense.

Nikki: Oh, for god’s sake, michael. Please just tell me that he’s all right.

Billy: Wow, that’s actually impressive, you admitting to having bad ideas. It’s real progress, phyllis. Of course, most people learn these life lessons that involve wearing sunglasses at breakfast time earlier in life.

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh. I’m just minding my own business, billy.

Billy: Hmm.

Phyllis: That’s what I’m doing. Everybody in this town tells me to do that all the time, like, all the time. And here you are just being so judgy of me. Just a stream of judgmental words. Go away.

Billy: All right. Fair enough. I’ll be right over here if you need me.

[ Phone ringing ] Chance, you at the office?

Chance: Hey, welcome back, man. How was the trip?

Billy: Uh, it was as good as can be expected under the circumstances. How soon can you meet?

Summer: You coming?

Chance: Where are you?

Billy: I’m at society, about to have breakfast. Why don’t you come here? I’ll order a pot of coffee. What do you want to eat? I’ll order it now.

Summer: Chance.

Chance: You know what? Don’t wait on me, man. I’ll be there when I can. ()

Billy: Hi, it’s me again. Sorry to bug.

Phyllis: Then– then don’T.

[ Billy sighs ]

Billy: Yeah, I have to. For whatever reason, I have this unexplainable responsibility to want to cheer you up.

Phyllis: Well, you’re doing a bang-up job.

Billy: Clearly, there’s something going on, so… what is it? I want to help.

Phyllis: Really? Why the sudden desire to want to help me? I mean, is this your one act of good karma for the week or…

Billy: Hm. Hm. That’s actually interesting. Yeah. Yeah, maybe you’re right. Maybe it is. I had to leave chelsea alone to deal with some challenges that connor is going through up at school, and I didn’t want to come back, but she insisted that I come back. She said she wanted to spend some quality time with her son, and I feel guilty about that. So, yeah, you are the beneficiary of me wanting to feel useful today.

Phyllis: Lucky me.

Billy: Hm. You know, I’m a pretty good talker, but I’m actually a fantastic listener.

Phyllis: Billy…

Billy: Ah. There you are.

Phyllis: I know you’re a good listener. I know that. You’re not really hearing what I’m saying.

Billy: Yeah. That’s probably true, but hey, are you okay?

Phyllis: I appreciate what you’re doing. I’m sure, um, it’s coming from a good place. And– and also, I– I’m sorry that connor is going through something.

Billy: Thank you.

Phyllis: Yeah. But I don’t want to talk about what’s going on with me to you. So you offered, and that’s awesome. And I have it on good authority from, you know, the, what– what is it? The karma fairy that, um, you offering absolves you of any guilty feelings you might have toward me.

Billy: You sure?

Phyllis: Yeah, I’m sure.

Billy: Okay.

Phyllis: Besides, what are you even doing here? Um, I thought you would be, um, working really hard at, uh, chancellor-winters. I hear that you are trying to stake a claim in the company.

Billy: Where’d you hear that from?

Phyllis: Around.

Billy: Mm. Around, huh?

Phyllis: I heard it from amanda.

Billy: Ah! Amanda.

Phyllis: I hear that there’s– yeah. We’re– we’re really good friends, so…

Billy: Naturally.

Phyllis: She told me that there’s a power play going on between you and devon.

[ Billy scoffs ] That you’re trying to be the head honcho at chancellor-winters. So, I’m– I’m actually surprised that you could pull yourself away from chelsea and connor.

Michael: There are safeguards in place to protect victor.

Nikki: From what? Where is he right now, and is he all right?

Michael: It’ll be okay. It’ll be okay. It will be clear once I explain.

Nikki: Well, stop stalling and do it.

Claire: Michael, you’re here. Did you meet with jordan?

Nikki: I’ve been trying to get that information out of him.

Claire: Where’s victor? Did something happen?

Victoria: Sorry to keep everyone waiting. We were in town meeting with my insurance agent about the fire, and, uh, I got your text.

Cole: So yo– your text sounded urgent.

Victoria: What’s going on?

Nikki: Your father met with jordan last night, and he hasn’t come back.

Victoria: What? How come nobody told us?

Michael: Well, hey, you know what? Let’s just stay calm. As I’ve said, I will explain. We’re just waiting on nick and adam.

Adam: Okay, I’m here. Nick shouldn’t be far behind. What is this all about? And where is dad?

Nikki: That’s what I want to know. Right now. We’re not waiting for nicholas.

Michael: Very well. Victor is with jordan. She’s holding him hostage.

Jordan: Come on, admit it. You don’t give a damn about my niece.

Victor: You’re talking about my granddaughter.

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: Really? You expect me to believe that you care at all about little claire joining the high and mighty newman family? No, no, it’s all a ruse to make her feel safe, loved, so you can get to me.

Victor: Listen, let’s not waste any time talking about this nonsense, okay?

Jordan: Well, I pride myself in knowing how your devious mind works.

Victor: Sometimes, life is like a chess game, you know? And by my calculations, you plan to kill me tonight.

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: With this? So messy.

Victor: What difference does it make anyway? We now came up with a plan that is mutually beneficial. So whatever we had planned before is history.

Jordan: Except for one problem, and it’s a biggie. (Cat 1) friskies world!

Jordan: You really don’t see the problem with your deal?

Victor: I thought it was a damn generous deal.

[ Jordan laughs ] What’s wrong with it?

Jordan: You claim you’re going to have your attorney drain my newly funded $10 million bank account and sic the international police on me if I don’t tell him immediately of where I’m keeping you hostage.

Victor: Well, surely you must understand that i wanted some insurance, that you hold up your end of the bargain.

Jordan: In this little game of chicken? Absolutely. But who’s to say that you won’t do the same thing immediately the minute I tell attorney baldwin of your whereabouts?

Victor: Well, you just have to trust me now, don’t you?

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: Your deal is a joke. A grand empty promise.

Victor: Are you telling me you’re pulling out of the deal now? In other words, you want no money, no new identity?

Jordan: No french chateau.

Victor: Yeah. Exactly.

Jordan: Well, I would have enjoyed that.

Victor: Why play along now?

Jordan: To get what I really want. And that’s you, victor newman. You. Alone. No henchmen. And now, I have you. And I’m going to make you pay.

Nikki: How could you let this happen?

Claire: I knew that she sounded unhinged when I spoke to her.

Adam: Wait, you knew that she was planning this?

Claire: Of course not.

Adam: Okay, did you know that my father was meeting with her?

Claire: Only because nikki told me.

Victoria: Would you just leave her alone?

Michael: Listen.

[ Michael chuckles ] Listen up, everybody. Here’s the situation. As victor predicted, jordan called claire back last night.

Claire: And I gave her victor’s message, just like he asked me to. I told her that he wanted to make amends for what happened to eve.

Michael: And jordan took the bait. She reached out to victor to meet.

Adam: Which is when he should have called the police.

Michael: And risk scaring her off. No, your father worked too hard to lure her in. Look, he agreed to meet jordan with only me. No police, no security detail.

Adam: Which doesn’t mean you still don’t bring backup.

Michael: No, she– she is shrewd. She picked the location, this alleyway that made surveillance impossible. So, we– we couldn’t predict when she arrived. We– we couldn’t post police officers anywhere nearby even if we had wanted to. Man, she thought of everything. She arrived out of nowhere. With this big old gun.

Nikki: Oh, my god.

Michael: I suppose she could have killed us both if she didn’t like what we had to say. Or perhaps that was her plan all along. You know, get us to this secluded alleyway, no witnesses. Shoot and run.

Nikki: This is exactly what I was afraid of.

Victoria: You let that mad woman lead our father away at gunpoint?

Michael: I didn’t let anyone do anything. We all know no one could make victor newman do anything he doesn’t want to. He had more bait to dangle. And once again, jordan took it. Whatever plans she had going into that alleyway, they changed once victor presented his offer.

Cole: And what was it?

Michael: Ten million in an offshore bank account, a new identity, and a house in france.

Adam: Okay, well, if he offered her all of that, then why did she take him hostage?

Michael: To prove it wasn’t a trap. He told her she could lock him up somewhere until she could safely disappear.

[ Summer chuckling ]

Summer: Oh, great, just what I need, the third degree.

Chance: Okay, here’s the deal. We’re not going to let anything ruin our day today. We are in a perfect mood. The last 12 hours have been perfect, and I want to hold on to that feeling.

Summer: You know what? You’re right. Let’s do this. Mom.

Phyllis: Oh, hey.

Summer: What a nice surprise.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah.

Chance: Came as fast as I could.

Billy: I appreciate that.

Chance: Did you eat yet?

Billy: I did not. Sitting right behind us, that would be great. You two, excuse me. Please.

Summer: What is up with you?

Phyllis: Nothing is up with me, you know. It was just, you know– I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night. Nothing to see here. Summer, it’s no big deal. You, on the other hand, I want to know what’s going on with you.

Summer: Nothing. Uh, just, uh, going to get some takeout, and go back to the office.

Phyllis: What, you don’t have five minutes to share a cup of coffee with your mom? Sit down, please.

I have type 2 diabetes, but I manage it well

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Summer: Okay, five minutes. But that’s– that’s it, because I really do have a pile of work waiting for me.

Phyllis: That’s fine with me. I mean, but I need you to tell me very specifically and succinctly what’s going on with you and chance.

[ Summer laughs ] I’m your mother, I deserve to know, because I’ve been supporting this, and I will always cheer you on from the sidelines. You know why? Because you’re going after what you want.

Summer: Okay, I think that you’re just a little too invested in this.

Phyllis: In your happiness? Of course I am, of course. So, what’s going on between you and chance?

Summer: Mom, you know that we’ve been hanging out.

Phyllis: Well, because you came here together, but it wasn’t for a breakfast date.

Summer: Your detective skills are very impressive.

Phyllis: Oh, wait a second. Were you coming from the same place? Oh, my– oh, my– like– like a sleepover.

Summer: Okay, I am not going to go into details with you.

Phyllis: You have to, because I could see the glow all over your face.

Summer: Stop. Okay, fine. I’m having fun. And I think that he is, too.

Phyllis: Fun is great. Oh, my gosh. I’m so happy for you. That is so great, summer. Good for you. Well, at least one of us is having a successful romantic life.

Billy: Seems like things are going well with summer.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, but I’m 100% focused on work, don’t you worry. When I’m in there, I’m locked in.

Billy: That’s good. I’m glad to hear that. Speaking of work…

Chance: Thanks.

Billy: …Give me an update. How’s everything?

Chance: First, though, is everything okay with chelsea and connor? You were kind of vague.

Billy: Yeah, I’m not gonna– not gonna be cagey about it. I’m just trying to respect their privacy.

Chance: Yeah, and I don’t want to pry, I just want to make sure they’re okay.

Billy: I appreciate that. Everything’s gonna be okay. It’s just gonna be a process.

Chance: Understood.

Billy: So, fill me in. How did nate and devon react to my absence? Everyone behave?

Chance: Well, I don’t mean to be blunt, but nobody seemed to miss you.

[ Billy laughs ]

Billy: So much about not being blunt.

Chance: Yeah, probably could have phrased that differently.

Billy: No, no, no. That’s the information that I need. When you say that I clearly was not missed, do you mean that my absence was not noticed? Or is it more–

Chance: They seem relieved that you weren’t around.

Billy: Huh.

Chance: Sorry if that’s not what you want to hear, billy.

Billy: No, on the contrary. It’s exactly what I want to hear. In fact, that makes me very happy.

Victoria: I don’t know how could dad place himself in danger like this?

Cole: Well, you know he’ll do anything to protect his family.

Michael: You have to agree with that.

Nikki: I can’t believe he would make a deal with jordan after the hell she’s put us through.

Adam: Was any of this your idea, huh? Are you working with your aunt?

Claire: No.

Victor: Well, you planned ahead, didn’t you?

Jordan: Cozy, isn’t it? Have a seat. The perfect place for you and your beloved nikki to die a horrible death. But alas, you’re going to have to die alone. After I got your offer, I had to abandon my two for one plan. But you still played right into my hands.

Victor: I thought it was my idea to be your hostage.

Jordan: Which made it all the sweeter.

[ Victor laughs ]

Victor: How silly on my part that I thought I could outsmart you.

[ Jordan laughing ] Yeah.

Jordan: And that’s what I’ve been trying to teach claire her entire life. That your arrogance is your blind spot. And in the end, will be your downfall. Kerendia presents…

Chance: I don’t get it. You like it that nate and devon enjoy when you’re gone?

Billy: Yeah. It means my presence is creating a certain sense of pressure.

Chance: Well, that’s because they feel like they have to keep an eye on you. They’re worried about what moves you might make. How can that be good?

Billy: Because it keeps everyone on their toes. Make sure they’re doing their best.

Chance: So it sounds like you’re focused more on office politics rather than the actual work.

Billy: Actually, it’s all tied together. One impacts the other. Let’s consider that your first lesson for the day.

Chance: Well, I’d rather just know what your real agenda is, billy.

Billy: What do you mean by that?

Chance: Well, are you content on running things smoothly while lily’s still gone, or are nate and devon right? Are you looking for more power here?

Billy: Where’s this suspicion coming from?

Chance: You told me to be your eyes and ears. I’m reporting back, reading the room.

Billy: And you’re doing a great job. But just because devon and nate have trust issues, it doesn’t mean you should. I know what I’m doing. Part of what I’m doing is bringing you along so you understand the dynamics of the c suite, okay? So, if you want a place in this company, just stick with me.

Chance: Well, I’d feel a lot better if I knew whether or not my mentor was using me as a spy for his own purposes.

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh, I could see it all over your face. That glow. That glow. Seeing the other person makes you light up. You’re walking around with a stupid grin on your face all day long, oh.

Summer: Are you saying that we look like idiots?

Phyllis: Yes. And it’s awesome, it’s awesome. And I’m jealous, and everyone’s jealous because we all want to have that feeling. We all want to walk around with butterflies in our stomach, and see the other person and we light up. And knowing that we make the other person’s life happier, and bigger and nicer. It’s so great, see? At least– at least my instincts were right, right here. I knew you guys were meant to be.

Summer: Okay, shh. Mom, what is going on with you?

Phyllis: What?

Summer: This mood that you’re in, it doesn’t have to do with me and chance. What’s going on?

Phyllis: What– what do you mean? I’m very happy for you.

Summer: Then why do you sound like you’re– like, in mourning or something for something that you don’t have? Anyway, look at you.

[ Summer laughs ] When’s the last time you had a bloody mary for breakfast? What happened last night? Does it have to do with danny?

Victoria: How dare you?

Cole: Claire risked her safety and well-being to help victor lay this trap.

Victoria: All against our better judgment, by the way. Dad’s the one who insisted.

Claire: To answer your question, I want jordan locked up just as much as the rest of you.

Victoria: You don’t have to explain yourself to adam.

Adam: I just– I’m very surprised how quickly you embraced claire. It is like you have forgotten that she tried to kill you all. She was raised by her aunt to hate you, now you just assume that she’s turned on her aunt?

Claire: I have. She lied to me my entire life, and now I know the truth, that I’m part of this family, like it or not.

Adam: Well, how do we know that you and her haven’t had more chats, and this wasn’t your plan all along?

Cole: Enough with the accusations.

Claire: God, my mom was right about you. You’re not like the other newmans, are you? See, they’ve all been very welcoming, but you are here going out of your way to accuse me.

Nikki: All right, everybody, just stop. This is not helping us find out what happened to victor.

Michael: Listen, I firmly believe victor is alive and well. He protected himself. He warned jordan that I would drain her bank account and alert interpol if she didn’t call me with his location the minute she was safely out of the country.

Victoria: Okay, so what are we supposed to do then? Are we supposed to just sit around and wait and pray that jordan sticks to her end of the deal?

Nikki: Why would victor think she would follow his rules? I mean, she burned down victoria’s house and intended to kill everybody in it.

Michael: I raised that concern myself. But I have to say, I’ve been reading criminals my entire career. I saw it in her eyes. She wanted that escape hatch. It was too tempting to pass up.

Nikki: It doesn’t mean she still won’t double cross him.

Michael: Victor told me he had provisions in place in case that happened.

Adam: Okay, well, what is his backup plan?

Michael: That I don’t know.

Jordan: You’re taking this awfully well, for a man who’s about to spend the rest of his incredibly short life locked up in this room. And don’t think I’m bluffing.

Victor: I don’t think you’re bluffing. I know you intend to leave me here and let me die. But let me ask you something. How do you intend to live? How do you intend to be on the run with no money? You should have accepted my offer.

Jordan: You can’t buy me off, victor newman, and you are going to spend the rest of your life starving and dying here in this decrepit hole. And nikki, poor nikki and your rich, beautiful children will grieve for you until I come for them because I will not rest until every member of the newman family has paid. This doesn’t end with you. It’s not over, victor.

Victor: It is over.

[ Electricity buzzing ]

[ Jordan groans ] I started to think you wouldn’t come.

[]

Phyllis: Danny who?

Summer: Mom.

Phyllis: I don’t want to talk about it.

Summer: Uh, no, you can’t do that. You can’t ask about my love life and then just shut down when I ask about yours.

Phyllis: I don’t have a love life.

Summer: Well, I thought that you and danny, you know…

Phyllis: Listen, okay, I went to bat, tried to shoot my shot, struck out, that’s it, let’s– let’s not speak his name.

Summer: I’m sorry. Seriously, I am. You can’t be that surprised.

Phyllis: What does that mean?

Summer: It’s danny and christine. They have so much history together, they’re the real deal. It’s really hard to compete with that.

Phyllis: Wow. Wow. Even my daughter doesn’t think I’m worthy of having love.

Billy: Is this about my critique of your idea? Do you still carry a chip on your shoulder about that?

Chance: No, this is about you respecting me enough to be honest.

Billy: Okay, well, I’ll be honest. It benefits both of us if I have a larger presence at chancellor-winters.

Chance: How do you figure?

Billy: Because you and i are there to support jill. To protect her from whatever land grab mamie johnson is pushing devon and nate to make.

Chance: Okay, so you’re protecting jill’s interests, not your own.

Billy: Jill’s interests are our interests. And I’m not going to apologize for that. So again, if you want a place in this company, I suggest that you get in line with me.

Nikki: So jordan led him away with a gun at his head to god knows where?

Claire: And this was his idea?

Michael: Yes. But after jordan and victor left together, I’m as much in the dark as the rest of you about what happens next.

Claire: She gets like this when she feels trapped.

Nikki: Well, you said she gets sloppy, and that’s what we’re counting on.

Claire: But she also gets harder to predict. She’s volatile.

Michael: Oh, come on. This is victor we’re talking about. He told me he had another shoe to drop. One jordan won’t see coming.

Jordan: Where am I?

Victor: You ain’t in the south of france. No big mansion with a pool. Cozy, isn’t it? Huh? Huh?

Jordan: How’d you know we were here?

Victor: This is called a tracking device.

Jordan: No one was following us, I was checking the whole time.

Nick: I wasn’t behind you. I was on a parallel route. You, uh, looking for this?

Victor: Don’t you ever underestimate me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Medical devices beep ] I th, I would see that this whole thing was just a horrible dream, something that we’d wake up from. But dante, you’re really here. And you’re not awake. And no matter where I look, someone or something is telling me that jason’s alive, and he could have done this to you. Sam? Hi. Laura, hi. Has there been any change? Dante’s the same, but the rest of my world is in pieces. No problem, dr. Robinson. Happy to do a consult for you. Who’s the patient? Oh, boy. You’re a nurse. Aren’t you supposed to do more than just stand there and watch me suffer? I’ve already taken your vitals. We’re just waiting for the doctor. Well, why don’t you write this in your notes — next time you touch a patient, wear mittens. Your hands are freezing. I’ll do that. Dr. Finn! Oh, it is so nice to see a friendly face. About the only warm thing in this place. My being here is not good news, heather. For you, you mean? For you. I wish there was something we could do for sam. She seemed beyond exhausted and so shaky. Seeing my big sister like that made me shaky. She’s always been a rock. She’s still holding up better than i would be. Could you imagine, your ex-husband comes back from the dead and could be the reason why your live-in boyfriend is fighting for his life in the icu? I’d be curled up in a ball somewhere. All we can do is support her — starting with getting her some breakfast. She’s got to keep her strength up. Your maternal instincts already kicking in. You’re gonna be such a good mom. This baby is lucky to have you. Blaze, hi. I didn’t know you were coming. My girlfriend needs me. Where else would I be?

[ Knock on door ]

[ Exhales deeply ] Hey. You didn’t have to knock. I wasn’t sure. I didn’t want to interrupt, in case my brother was here.

[ Groans ] Ahh…

[ Exhales sharply ]


Dr. Robinson asked me to consult because you’re presenting with a difficult case. We’ve taken a look at your test results and determined you have cardiomyopathy, which means you have a weakened heart muscle. Wow. No one’s ever accused me of having a weak heart before. It’s not really an accusation. It’s more of a fact, and it’s the reason why you fainted. Oh, that’s why you put me on those pills? Mm-hmm. Unfortunately, you’re not responding to the medication. I’m sorry, but I can’t possibly concentrate on your beautiful voice when I’m in agonizing pain. Could you possibly, you know, move this pillow since I obviously can’t? Yeah. Oh. Thank you. Now, I’m not a doctor, but I have learned the ins and outs of the medical profession by binge watching “grey’s anatomy.” And I’ve also had quite an education from being in and out over the years in various mental facilities. So I feel qualified to ask, why is the infectious disease department’s very own dr. Dashing checking out my ticker? Well, the two cardiologists that examined you before me, they came back with nothing. Dr. Robinson asked me to rule out everything else. And to that end, have you ever experienced any problems breathing in the past? Could you please, higher with the pillow already? No, no. To the left, baby. No, the other left. How many lefts do you have? Doctor, could you possibly get nurse elizabeth in here? I mean, she and i really understand each other, and I’m not vibing with this one at all. No offense. You know, I’m sure there’s a few people that really like you in this place. Heather, heather, could you please focus for a moment? This is actually important. Your symptoms are important. I wish I could, but I’m afraid I’m too distraught. I mean, my complete devastation is swallowing my every thought. In fact, maybe you can help me, and that way, I could help you. With what?

[ Voice breaking ] I really need to see my grandbaby. I’m gonna go see if I can track down tj and say hi. Okay. Bye. How are you holding up, really? How’s your brother? Dante is, uh… he’s out of surgery, but he’s still in critical. And, um, my family is just hoping that he wakes up soon and that he’s okay. Oh, thank god. Yeah, yeah, it’s a huge relief. Listen, um, my whole family’s here, so don’t feel like you have to stay. You’re disappointed. I’m sorry. No, that’s not it. I just know how busy you are, and I don’t want to be an inconvenience. My girlfriend is never an inconvenience — never, and not a minute goes by that I don’t wish I was with you. “Girlfriend.” ![ Chuckles ] It seems like that word’s getting much easier for you to say. I can’t believe how lucky I am that I get to say it. I’m lucky to hear it. Oh, believe me, if it were anything else, I would reschedule my morning to be with you. So what is it about this morning that’s so special? My mother. Jason’s not here. But he was last night. Yes. The invader article said that the police were concentrating their search on the shoreline area. Not coincidentally, you live on shoreline road, so… but even without that, I knew jason would come straight to you. Last night, at the quartermaines’, when you came to help with the kids, was… was he already here? Was he hiding out? No. No. Okay. Well, thank you for that. Because that was good last night, like you really helped out with the kids, and I just felt like we were in it together. I would have hated — I would have hated knowing that that was a lie. I — I didn’t lie to you. But you didn’t call me, either.

[ Groans ] Ahh. Dad?


Laura brought little ace in last night. He’s sick. Even if your grandson was admitted, there’s no way I could just take you to see another patient, especially a minor. But my baby’s baby was brought to this hospital. He didn’t come here on a tour, so obviously, there’s something wrong with him, and I’m just worried sick about what it could be. Please. There must be something that you could do, doc. I’m asking you as a grandmother. I’ll tell you what, how about you cooperate with me, and I’ll see what I can find out for you. Oh. Alright. Um, so other than the awful, awful pain in my hip, um, I’ve been bloated for a couple of months, which, you know, kind of strange. Shouldn’t you be writing this down, ice paws?

[ Scoffs ] I’ll take it from here, nurse driscoll. Good luck. Thanks. My mom called me this morning and asked if I was free so we could get together for breakfast. Given the way she and I left things, I felt like I had to say yes. You don’t have to explain yourself to me. It’s perfectly reasonable you would want to see your mom. Just curious though. How did she sound? I’m not sure. Contrite, maybe. But our conversation was really short, so it’s hard to know for sure. Wow. Well, maybe she’s had some time to process, and maybe she’s ready to hear you out now. Hey, that’d be nice, but I’m not holding my breath. Well, if you need backup, I’m happy to go with you. Even after the way she treated you? I can only imagine how overwhelmed you must be by this whole situation. It’s got to be hard for you, too. I mean, you were dante’s mother-in-law. Yeah. I do know what a truly wonderful human being he is. I hope you know that you can talk to me. I just — I don’t know what to say exactly. It’s — it’s like I have all these thoughts roaming around in my head and I just can’t put words to them. I don’t know. These thoughts are swirling around in my head and — and I just can’t grab on to one thought or feeling for more than a second. Yeah, that sounds about right. I just don’t know what to do. Honey, it’s gonna take some time, and a little bit of rest will help a lot. It’s like one second, I’m really hurt because jason could be out there, a fugitive, and then the next second, I feel like I get all weepy because I’m so grateful that he’s alive. And then I have this voice in my head and it keeps asking me, like, where has he been all this time? Why didn’t he try to contact me? I don’t know. It’s very, very complicated. Yeah, but it shouldn’t be complicated, should it? Jason and I were long over before he disappeared. Yes, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was a very significant part of your life. You loved him. You had a child with him. You know, you share all of those experiences. But, honey, you can’t expect yourself to see things clearly right now, when you’re still in shock — and I think you are. Yeah. Wow. I mean, I feel like I have to keep it together, if only for my kids. I had to ask the quartermaines to keep scout home from school, and I’m sure danny has read the article in the invader. By now, he thinks his father is the one who shot dante. How am I supposed to help danny process this if I can’t even process it myself? I wish I had better answers for you, but I do know this. If you allow your love for your children to ground you and to guide you, everything else just has a way of working itself out. Thank you for saying that, and thank you for being here. Danny, wait. I know I have no right to ask you, but… I’m in trouble. I need your help. Why should I help you? And don’t say because you’re my father. Because the police are after me, and I didn’t do what they said I did. You didn’t shoot dante? No. Swear on it. Swear on something that matters to you. I swear on your life.


I appreciate it. Really, I do, but right now, you need to be with your family. I can deal with my own. You sure? I’ll be fine. Just knowing I have you will get me through whatever it is my mom has to say. Okay, well, I’ll be here when you get back. I’m counting on it. Bye. Bye. So the last, uh, last few months, you said you had ringing in the ears, mm-hmm. Some tingling in your extremities, and brittle nails? Right, which is strange, because I used to have really strong nails. I’m not saying I had a future as a hand model or anything like that, but do you think maybe that has something to do with my heart? I think I need to run some further tests, heather. Okay, you can poke, prod, draw all the blood you want, but after you find out what’s going on with my grandson. That won’t be necessary.

[ Scoffs ] With all due respect, your mayorship, the good doctor and I have a relationship that is working just fine without you. Hi, finn. Hi. Would you mind giving me a moment alone with heather? We’re long overdue for a talk. Of course. Look, the only person I called last night was diane, and that’s because anna devane showed up with agent cates, and they told me that jason was alive and they had a warrant, and they wanted to search my house. And so that’s the first that you heard of jason? No. No, when i when I got back here after I left the quartermaines’, he was waiting for me. I walked in the house and he said my name, and I recognized his voice, and I turned around. He was standing right there. And, I mean — all I could do was hug him. And then I realized he had been shot, so I ran upstairs and I grabbed a first aid kit and I came down. I was trying to bandage him up, and that’s when anna started banging on the door. He didn’t even know my mom had died. So you told them — told them about bobbie? I was just doing such a bad job at cleaning the wound, I just mentioned how I wished I could call my mom and ask for help, and he said not to. And that’s when I realized he didn’t know. And then when I told him, I could see it hit his face, and I went to tell him what happened, but that’s when anna and john showed up, so… did he tell you how he got shot? No. No, we didn’t talk about it. Because the police think that he shot dante. The police are wrong. Well, how do you know that if you didn’t even talk about it? Because I know jason. Yeah. That’s what I thought you were gonna say. Are you okay? Just a little dizzy. I’m gonna sit over here. What do you need me to do for you? Can you bring me a first aid kit from the house? You were shot, right? Yeah. Well, then, wouldn’t you need more than a first aid kit? Should I go grab grandma’s medical bag? Is monica up there at the house? I don’t know. She might have gone to the hospital. Uh, no. No, don’t — don’t get the medical bag. It’s gonna draw too much attention. Just get a first aid kit from the kitchen or the bathroom and just — just bring it down here. Sure. I’ll be right back. Danny? Close the door.


Were you upset blaze couldn’t stay? No, it was, you know — I mean, it was a little surprised at first, but she explained it, and it’s fine. It’s not a big deal. Are you sure? Because you went from elated to deflated in like, three seconds. What? I’m your sister. It’s hard to miss. She went to see her mother, and that’s bad? Well, it’s not exactly bad, but her mom’s not my biggest fan. Okay, well, that’s ridiculous. Anybody who spends five seconds with you loves you. Well, not her mother. Not since she found me in her daughter’s bed. Hi, my love. Good morning. Ohh. So what’s good here? Oh, well, they’re known for their blts and their burgers. Uh, seems a little bit early for a burger, but, um, I don’t know. A blt might be too salty. Well, let’s see. That’s it? You wanted to get together to discuss the menu? No, just — if we’re gonna end up having something to eat, we should probably look at it, right? This is a port charles institution. Everything on the menu is good, really good. So there, we’ve covered the menu. Why are you acting like this? I’m not acting like anything. You’re the one pretending that everything is the same as always, and it’s not. We need to talk. I know, and I have been doing some thinking. And I know things have changed. There’s something that I want to say to you. Please, laura, don’t keep me in suspense. It’s not good for my weakened heart muscle. Is ace alright? Yes, ace — ace has an ear infection, but other than that, he’s going to be perfectly fine. Fine for a child whose mother’s dead, you mean? Heather, we all agree — no, we don’t all anything, laura. My daughter is gone, and you’re telling me that her child, my grandson, is fine? Just how fine can he be? Especially with you having cyrus renault and ryan’s twin in his life. Laura, you’re a mother. How could you not know how critical these early years are to a child’s development? I am well aware of that. And you think exposing him to the dregs of his gene pool is a way to a happy and healthy childhood? Good lord, laura. I might as well have him with me in pentonville. Actually, a better caliber of people. That’s actually why I came here — to discuss this with you. You mean keeping ace with me? No, heather. That will never happen. I assumed that you actually came here to apologize for clocking me over the head, but you’re taking your sweet time getting around to that, so that’s probably not the reason for your little drop-in. Don’t worry about it, laura. You don’t need to apologize. I’m fine. I came to discuss pentonville with you. Uh-huh. Heather, you are soon to be someone else’s problem. I had a conversation with robert. Scorpio? Uh-huh. Mm-hmm. And how is our dear little da? Good. And he agrees with me that given your history of escaping and assaulting, we no longer feel that pentonville is an appropriate place for you. What, you’re sending me back to d’archam? No. San quentin women’s federal penitentiary. Hey, sam. Is everything okay with dante? He’s in critical but stable condition. Oh, okay. I just saw you sitting out here instead of in there with him. I just, I thought that — doesn’t matter. Um, how are you? I’m not entirely sure. Because of jason? Amongst other things, but it’s a lot, and it’s nothing I was prepared for. Yeah. None of us were. And add to that, worrying about dante. Yeah. It’s kind of why I came out here. I needed a couple of minutes just to clear my head. Right. I came and I took those away from you. Um, I’ll go grab a coffee. I’ll leave you to — hey. No, no, no. Michael, don’t go. Stay. Please, stay here. Come on. Welcome to my world. There’s always room for one more. Jason would never shoot dante. So the police said that, um, dante was in pursuit of two suspects. What if — what if jason shot at the man that was chasing him without realizing that it was dante? No, no, no. There were two suspects, like you just said, so obviously, the other guy shot dante. That’s only obvious to you, carly. I’m — like, you can’t even allow for the possibility that maybe jason made a mistake, let alone the fact that maybe he shot dante — why are you doing this? Why are you so convinced that jason’s guilty? I’m not convinced. I don’t know if jason shot dante, and the truth is, neither do you. You don’t have any evidence. You don’t even have jason’s account on what happened that night. Carly, all you have is how you feel for him, and that’s enough for you. It’s the two of you, jason and carly. You come first with each other. You always have and you always will.


San quentin, california? It’s our professional opinion that that is the best placement for you. Please, please do not do this to me. I had no choice. You gave me no choice. You have proven time and again that you are a danger to this community. As a matter of public safety, I have to put as much space between you and port charles as possible to make it highly unlikely that you will ever come back again. You’re letting cyrus’ whispers get into your head. I know you, laura! Come on, you are better than this. We used to be friends. I know, heather, I remember. That’s what makes this so hard. Honestly, I’ve been struggling to try to understand — try to understand what happened to you. You know, when we were young, I mean, you did some pretty horrible things to people, but you weren’t this. You weren’t a killer. But everything I’ve done, everything, I swear, was out of love for my family. When you’re a mom, you just — you sometimes do things that you’d never even think of otherwise. You’re — you’re a mom, laura. Come on. I mean, you, of all people should understand. I don’t understand, heather, and I never will. All I care about right now is making sure that you can never hurt my family again. And there it is —

your family. Oh, god. [ Laughs ] This was never about a professional decision between you and the da. It was always a personal one. This doesn’t have anything to do with me being a danger to our community. My family is part of the community. And I am your family! Ace has brought us together again. I know you don’t like it, but he is binding us together as grandmothers. And what about ace? That poor little boy has lost so much already. You cannot send away the only connection to his mom that he’s got in the world. Laura, I’m begging you now, please. Please don’t separate me from the only family that I have. No, no. Ace is no longer your concern, heather. He is not. Kevin and i are going to adopt him.

[ Laughs incredulously ] I will die before I let you and ryan chamberlain’s brother raise my daughter’s son! Her mother came in. She saw me in alley’s bed. Alley told her mother that she was gay, and her mom’s response was — was like — “the room is messy.” And then she just started, like, folding. It’s like you could practically see her brain short-circuiting because of the cognitive dissonance. It was wild. That must have been — I don’t even know. How do you feel about it? Well, we had talked ahead of time about her family, so I guess it wasn’t totally unexpected. Yeah, but experiencing it up close and personal is different. Yeah, it was tough. But, I mean, her mom called her today to talk, so… I mean, that’s a good sign, right? What? What are you thinking super loud and not saying? No, nothing, I swear, I just — I hope you’re right. I know what you’re doing. Of course, you are thinking that I’m being way too optimistic, and that this is a setup for ally to fall and that that is going be bad for her, which is bad for us as a couple, which is bad for me, which is bad for the baby, and it’s bad for you, because it’s your baby, right? Wow, how did you even get there from — no, think, kristina. Have I said anything like that? I’m sorry for my behavior when I found you with kristina, for — for when you tried to explain. I’m just, I’m sorry, honey. You really mean that? I do. I mean, you have to know that I was totally caught off-guard, and my response was just to completely shut down. But, I mean, I’m not a fool. I know what I walked in on. And I heard you when you were trying to explain to me. I did. I don’t know what to say. I was afraid I’d go my whole life without you ever saying anything like that. Well, I also feel like I should have known what was really going on, and why you would feel more comfortable with a woman right now. What do you mean? Well… what happened with linc brown, that was so traumatizing. An experience like that would make almost anyone want to experiment. I can’t believe that jason shot dante. You don’t want to believe it. I don’t — I don’t want to believe it, either. But we won’t know who shot dante until dante wakes up… … if he wakes up. Yeah. Sam, what… what you and dante have, it’s something really special. You don’t just love each other, you’re partners in every sense of the word. You work as a team. You co-parent. You have each other’s backs. You’re each other’s best friend. It’s inspiring. It really is. And that that sense of support and reliability just makes your love that much more powerful. You came back. Said I would.


It’s already been done, heather. But I will make you a promise. Ace will always be safe, and he will always be loved, and you can rest easy knowing that I will always take good care of him. But you can never see him again.

[ Gasps ] You asked me to give you the benefit of the doubt, to trust that you’d be responsible and healthy and do what’s right for the baby, so maybe I can ask you to do the same for me. Don’t assume I’m always judging you, because I promise, I’m not. I can do that. We got into this whole thing because we trust each other more than anybody. Let’s not forget that. I promise. I love you. I love you. And that trust extends to blaze, so if you think she’s worth fighting for, so do I. That’s not what this is about, at least not for me. I’ve been with women before. Honey, if this is what you need to heal, being with kristina, then I support you.

[ Scoffs ] I can’t believe you. What? What did I say? Who I am, my entire being, has nothing to do with what linc did to me. The fact that you can’t accept that — I can’T. Honey, where are you going? What are you doing? Come on, honey, please just sit down. Let’s just figure this out. I’ve lost my appetite.

[ Sighs ] Drew, jason’s my friend. No, that’s — that’s not true. I don’t know if there’s a word to explain how I feel about jason, but that doesn’t change how I feel about you. I know you love me. I do.

[Tearfully] I love you so much. And you love jax. And you love sonny. You love sonny a lot. But none of us, none of us will take jason’s place in your life, let alone — let alone in your heart. Jason is the one that you turn to when you’re afraid, when — when you’re in trouble. He’s the one that keeps your secrets, carly. He’s the one that you count on. He’s never failed me. What about the last 2 1/2 years when he let you think he was dead? That doesn’t count as failing you? I have gotten so used to you being there that I don’t think I’ve ever realized how much I actually rely on you. And I’ve got this huge news… and you are the only person that I want to share with. So I’m gonna need you to do the thing that only you can do, you know? Where you back up my feelings and you give me a new perspective all at the same time. Can you do that now for me? Please/ you thought about calling the cops. Yeah. Why didn’t you? I guess because you said you didn’t do it. Thank you. The safety’s on. It’s that little switch right there. If you ever have to handle a gun, you always make sure the safety is on, okay?

[ Exhales deeply ] Do you need me to help you? No. But I do need you to do something for me. You cannot tell your mother about this, that you saw me, or where I am. Why not? I can’t explain that. Danny, I just need you to trust me. Okay.

[ Dramatic music ]

Finn: Doesn’t feel real yet. Does it to you?

Steffy: Knowing sheila’s gone? No. Hasn’t truly sunk in yet. I keep double-checking locks. Looking over my shoulder, seeing if she might pop up and do something. But she won’T. Never again. Sheila’s out of our lives for good.

[ Brooke moaning ]

Ridge: Wow. What was that for?

Brooke: Just wanted to thank you. Dinner was fabulous.

Ridge: Uh-huh. You know I didn’t cook it, right?

Brooke: I know, but you made the reservations, so that warrants a kiss.

Ridge: See, now I’m even more upset I’ve got to pick up those papers, but I need them. I’ve got this meeting tomorrow morning.

Brooke: All righty. I’ll just catch up with my email.

Ridge: You know, I’m surprised there’s no one here. I thought thomas would be burning the midnight oil.

Brooke: I thought he’d be here too. He’s so committed to hope’s line.

Ridge: Committed to hope’s line and committed to hope. Thomas and hope love each other.

Hope: Well, if his homework’s all done. Yeah. Of course. Of course you can let him play. All right. I will pick them up first thing in the morning. Thank you so much, donna. Bye.

Thomas: Let me guess. Douglas is begging for video game time.

Hope: Oh, yes. But he does have straight a’s, so…

Thomas: Let the boy play.

Hope: I should give donna a call back and let her know about the one hour.

Thomas: Okay, but we only have, like– we’ve been trying to make this work for a while and we only have one night. Do you want to spend it making calls to donna?

Hope: Well, when you put it like that.

Thomas: You have any ideas for activities?

Hope: I’m sure whatever we come up with will be worthwhile.

Ridge: You’re gonna have to work on that.

Brooke: What?

Ridge: That. That look you get on your face every time we talk about hope and thomas being a couple.

Brooke: This just isn’t easy for me.

Ridge: It wasn’t easy for anybody, but it’s done. They’re together, and… I don’t know. I think there’s something really beautiful about that. Magical, even.

Thomas: You okay?

Hope: Yeah.

Thomas: You seem… worried about douglas?

Hope: Uh, no, actually. I know he’s having a blast over at eric’S.

Thomas: Ah, so that means you’re still worried about steffy and finn.

Hope: It’s horrible, what they’re going through. I mean, to think that sheila’s death is now putting a strain on their marriage?

Thomas: Keep showing the kind of person you are. You genuinely care. You’re always empathizing. Especially in this situation. I mean, it’s not like you and steffy are exactly best friends.

Hope: All right, well, that might be true. I don’t want her going through anything like this.

Thomas: I know. That’s what makes you such a wonderful person. However, for tonight, I’d rather focus just on the two of us.

Hope: I do like the sound of that.

Thomas: Oh.

Hope: Will you help me forget?

Thomas: Of course.

Hope: So, checkers?

Thomas: Sure. Yeah.

Hope: Yeah?

Thomas: We can play. Or chess. Whatever.

Hope: Just–

Thomas: Whatever works.

Hope: Yeah?

Thomas: Yeah.

Finn: I wish I could find relief in that. Knowing that the threat’s over. Look, and I understand that it’s a good thing to not have to stress anymore. Wonder if sheila is going to crack and do something. It’s just… it’s just the way that it went down.

Steffy: It was never if she was going to crack. It was when. And she did when she showed up here. When she broke into our home and tried to attack me. Sheila intended on hurting me. I don’t know how, but I know that she had some kind of plan figured out. And that night, it was either her or me.

Finn: I get that.

Steffy: Well, this isn’t easy for both of us. Despite how freaked out we both are, despite how difficult this is, we need to figure out a way to heal. For the sake of our marriage. I want to be close to you again. In every way.

Finn: I want that, too.

Steffy: Yeah. There it is…

Ridge: At the end of the day, what we really want is for our kids to be happy, right?

Brooke: Yes, of course.

Ridge: And that’s how I know that you’re going to come around.

Brooke: To the idea of hope and thomas in a relationship.

Ridge: The same way that my mom came around to it. Look at hope. She’s so happy. We haven’t seen her this happy in a long time. And I think it’s because she’s with thomas. The two of them, they bring out the best in each other. I can see it. You can see it. You can’t see it, right?

Brooke: Okay, okay, yeah. I won’t deny that. But all happiness aside, I still am very worried because of what’s happened before and the lengths that thomas would go to.

Ridge: That’s the past.

Brooke: The past matters.

Ridge: The past matters, but so does the future. And the two of them, they could have a wonderful future together. Maybe the next great logan-forrester couple. Hm?

[ Thomas sighing ]

Hope: Um, sir, you have, uh, really outdone yourself this time.

Thomas: Oh, well, thank you. I try very, very hard. Did you know that this bottle of chianti is actually from the year that douglas was born?

Hope: Yeah. And was it a particularly good year for the grapes?

Thomas: Oh, well, you should know that this vintage, specifically, actually carries notes of blackberry and plum. And on the nose, you might have hints of– I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I thought you might think it was cute.

Hope: I– I definitely think it’s cute.

Thomas: Good, good, okay. Well, either way, what I do know about this wine is that it pairs very well with the special from il giardino.

Hope: Is that what I smell coming from the kitchen?

Thomas: That is, and I thought we could start with a little bruschetta.

Hope: Oh, well, don’t mind if I do.

Thomas: No worries. Um, aurora, could you play my italian playlist?

[ Classical music playing ]

Hope: Italian music? Am I, uh, sensing a theme here tonight?

Thomas: A little bit. Salute.

Hope: Salute.

Steffy: Oh, I miss this. Our connection. We can’t let what happened overshadow our love for each other.

Finn: We won’t want it to, but–

Steffy: No, we won’T. We won’t let it. Baby steps. We just need to try to get back to us. The two of us. Tell you what. Why don’t I get some clothes on and we could finish the bottle of wine, you get the fire going, and we can hang out? It just feels so good being in your arms.

Finn: We are better together.

Steffy: We are.

Finn: Thank you.

Steffy: I love you.

Finn: Baby steps.

[ Creaking ] Schwarzkopf

Hope: Why is this so good?

Thomas: You know, I don’t know. Like, your dad, for some reason, he thinks that pizza is their thing, but for me, it’s the parpadella.

Hope: It’s the parpadella.

Thomas: It’s the parpadella.

Hope: Okay, so, what brought upon this theme for tonight? Anything in particular?

Thomas: I don’t know. History, I guess. I’ve been thinking about our history, everything we’ve been through, and all the places we’ve been, and how we’ve gotten to where we are right now. And one place, above all, stands above the rest. Roma.

Brooke: So, I’m just wondering, how did you get so confident in them, this idea of hope and thomas’ future?

Ridge: Well, it’s the kind of guy I am. I pay attention. You’ll get there.

Brooke: But lately, you’ve been worried about steffy’s future. And me, too. It’s horrible what she had to go through with sheila.

Ridge: She’s struggling. She’s gotta be okay, but she killed somebody. In self-defense, but… she killed someone.

Brooke: She’s gonna be okay. She’s a brave, courageous woman and she will get through this.

Ridge: I know. I’m not worried about her. I’m worried about finn.

Steffy: Honestly, I don’t even know if I need the wine. Just being with you, touching you, knowing that we’re together, that’s all I really need.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Thomas: I’ll never forget what we shared in rome.

Hope: Me neither. I mean, that trip changed everything.

Thomas: It’s just so beautiful. The landscape, the architecture, you. This is a place so full of history. I feel like actually you and I made some history today. So grateful for the time we had there and the impact it had.

Hope: It will always be our place. To roma.

Thomas: To roma.

Brooke: I can see how worried you are about steffy and finn.

Ridge: Of course I’m worried because I don’t know what finn’s doing. He’s got these misplaced feelings about his mother. He should be worried about his wife right now. He should be worried about his kids. He should be a husband and a father. Instead, he’s got this fantasy about who sheila could have been to him. Her getting killed is the best thing that could have happened to him because now, he doesn’t have to find a place for her in his life. She’s dead. It’s over. It’s done.

Finn: It feels good to be home with you in my arms.

Steffy: This is where you belong.

Finn: You’re right. Tonight, it’s about moving forward. And new beginnings. Because we don’t have any reason to look over our shoulder any longer. No one, nothing threatening our happiness or our family. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I got caught up with what happened to sheila and not prioritizing you and what you went through. I should have been more reassuring and supportive right from when I found out.

Steffy: Finn, it’s okay. I understand.

Finn: Well, I want to move on from it. Concentrate on us, on our family, and this beautiful life we have together. I just… love you so much, steffy. Never forget it, okay?

Steffy: No, I won’T. I know how you feel. You show me every single day. Look, I know we’re traumatized by what happened, but it is a trauma that we’re going to heal from. We will. The two of us, we can do it. Sheila’s no longer a threat to us. We don’t have to think about her. We don’t have to talk about her anymore. And honestly, I’d rather not talk about her tonight, because I just want this. I want you, I want to be wrapped up in your arms. Come here. I miss this. I love you.

[ Sheila gasping ]

[ Sheila coughing ]

Sheila: Finn.

Steffy: Whoa, finn. What’s wrong? Tell me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What do you mean, you can’t? You can’t tell the truth? Holly, this is my life we’re talking about. Right now I have no life. I am stuck in some halfway house for no reason, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I want my life back, Holly.

Okay, okay. I’ll tell them the drugs weren’t yours. I just, I can’t tell them they were mine.

No, no, but they’re still gonna think that they were mine. Don’t you get it?

Hey, please. We can make up another story.

Why do we have to make up a different story? Why can’t you just tell the truth?

Because Look, I overheard my mom talking to EJ when she thought I was sleeping, and she was going on and on about how disappointed she’d be if it turned out those drugs were mine.  And I mean, you know, when she lost her baby, she totally fell apart. It was horrible what that did to her. And then, and then with me almost dying? She’s been through so much lately, and if she thought I was responsible for what happened to me? I can’t do that to her, Tate. I just can’t. Because she would never trust me again.

Oh my God. So, you are going to sacrifice me? You are going to totally ruin my life so that you can what, Holly? Keep up appearances? Pretend that you are just this little golden child?

It’s not like that.

Then what is it like, Holly? Please, please, you have to help me. You are the only one that can solve this.

Please. Tate, please don’t make me do this.

What is all What the hell? EJ, it’s not what It’s not what it looks you get in here, Tate? I’m calling the police. No!

Oh, coffee. At this hour, you’re going to work, aren’t you? I am. I have the overnight tonight, and you are going to the gym. I’m going to the gym. I’m going to go lift some weights and, uh, wear myself out. Good. Well, good luck with that, Brady. I’ll see you later. See ya. Uh, uh, sir, can I, can I just Do you have a minute?

Yeah, I don’t have to be at work for another half hour. What’s up? I, uh, actually had a medical question for you. About comas.

Are they breathing? Ava, please stay back! Are they breathing? Please tell me! I already did! Call again! Come on, keep calling me! Yes, hi, hi, I just called a few minutes ago. Yeah, about two people we found out at the old brewery near the airport. Why isn’t anyone here yet? Okay, well, one of them is my son. You need to come now.

Please, well, please hurry. Come quick. Okay, they said they’re on their way. What is happening? Come on. Get back here. Come on. Come on, buddy. Come on. Come on. Oh, dear God. Dear God, please save my boy. Got nothing over here, buddy. Come on, buddy. Come on, Wendy, come on. Come on, come on, Wendy. Come on. There’s something out of here.

Tripp! Wait, we need some serious medical help here now. Tripp!

Yeah, this is Commissioner Hernandez. We need two RAs, backup, and the CSU at the old brewery off Foxhorn Road by the airport. Now!

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

I was just wondering, um, based on your professional experience, can a coma affect Holly Jonas’s memory? Brady, I can’t discuss that with you. It’s doctor patient confidentiality. Right, of course, um. Let me pose it more generally then. Okay. Can a person, can a person’s memory be affected by a comb? Well, um, I’m, I’m not a neurologist.

Right. So, that feels important to say. Um, but what I do know is that, There is a potential for that. Um, a coma can cause a wide range of cognitive and physical impairments, which can include memory loss. Uh, short term. A long term? Well, that depends on the severity of the brain damage that caused the coma and how long a person’s in a coma.

So her, but her memories could come back. Sarah, my, my, my, my son’s future depends upon Holly remembering what happened the night she OD’d. Right. So. Right, no, I, I understand Brady. And I am. I am so sorry because I can’t even imagine how hard that has to be. Um, you know, like I said, neurology is not my specialty.

But what I do know from my limited experience, once a coma patient regains consciousness, um, their memories could come back quickly, gradually, or sometimes not at all. Yeah, I read that online. But I just, I just wanted to get a professional’s opinion, so. Sarah, thank you. Anytime. Brady, I, I really do hope everything works out for Tate.

Thanks.

But they were her drugs, not mine. Dad, you have to believe me. I hate I believe you. Why wouldn’t I? Alright, your mother believes you too. The problem is, how do we prove it? If Holly won’t admit it, do you have any proof at all? Do you have anything? My word. That’s all. It’s my word against hers. EJ, please don’t call the police.

Tate didn’t do anything wrong. He broke into my home. I know, but will you just give us a chance to explain? Please just hang up. Let us tell you why he’s here.

Let’s hear it. Sir, I’m sorry to disrupt your evening. I just wanted to see Holly. I’ve been so worried about her. Yeah, I bet you are worried. Since you’re the one who pushed the drugs on her that caused her to OD. She nearly died because of you. No, that’s not true. You have it all wrong about the night Holly OD’d.

The drugs that she took They weren’t mine. I swear they weren’t mine. What is all the ruckus? Tate, my god, what are you doing here? Breaking and entering into Holly’s bedroom window, apparently. I just wanted to see her. I, I’ve missed her so much. Look, I’ve heard enough. I’m calling the police and you’re not going to stop me this time.

Mom, do something. Please stop it. No, I can’t do that, honey. And Tate, I, I’m gonna call your father.

Nicole, what’s up? Brady, thank God you answered. I need you to get to the DiMera mansion right away. Tate’s here. What? He broke in the house to see Holly. Dammit. And EJ’s calling the police right now. Alright, I’m on my way.

Okay, you too. Tell me what’s really going on.

Oh, it’s a trap, baby. Baby, please come back to us. You’re my life, you’re my heart. Please, please come back to us. Check her.

We got a pulse. Wendy’s got a pulse. Come on, Kato. Come on, Kato. I’m doing good. Did you hear that? Wendy’s coming back. Come on, now. You gotta fight and come back to us. Come on. Come on, Tripp. You fight. Fight. Wendy, I’m here. I’m out here. We’re here for you. If you can hear me, squeeze my hand, alright?

She did it! She did it! Wendy’s back! You’re doing great, kiddo. You’re doing great, kiddo. Come on, hang in there with us. Come on. You’re doing great. You’re doing great. No, no, no, no, no. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re doing fine. Just stay right there. That’s it. That’s it. You’re doing good. You’re doing good. You’re okay.

He’s right here. He’s right here. Dad’s helping him. Is he okay? The only way you can help Tripp is for you to get stronger. And the way you’re going to do that, you’re going to focus on Wendy. You’re going to focus on me right now. And we’re going to breathe together. Are you ready? We’re going to inhale slowly.

Here we go. Inhale. Come on. That’s it. Come on. Exhale. That’s it. Exhale. One more time. Inhale. I got a pulse. Nice. What are you doing? I got a pulse. Baby Tripp! Can you hear me? Yeah. Breathe, bro. Breathe, bro. Breathe. There he is. There you go. Do it, buddy. Where’s, where’s, where’s Wendy? Where’s, where’s my wife? Hey,

Wendy’s here, Tripp. She’s okay. Yes. It’s all good. It’s all right. It’s okay. Thank God. Baby, you called her your wife. Well, he just said that because he hoped someday she will be. Right? Right now, we’re just relieved. I found you, and you’re okay.

Yeah, Jay. Yeah, we found them both, and it looks like they’re gonna be okay. Good job, good job. Peter?

Alma. Alright, just stay on top of it and call me if there are any updates. What happened? Clyde Weston escaped from Statesville. Jay,

do you have any intel on that? Well, it just happened, I mean. I’m sure they’re looking at prison surveillance videos as we speak. I think you had help from Goldman? Yeah, who else?

Dad, you called him. He has the right to know what’s going on with his son. Are you okay? Dad, I swear, all I wanted to do was see Holly. I hadn’t seen her since she got back. I wanted to make sure that she was all right. The only thing he wanted to make sure of was that Holly would lie for him and tell everyone that the drugs that nearly killed her were hers.

Holly, I heard what you said when I opened your door before. You said Tate don’t make me do this. All I wanted her to do was tell the truth. I just want my life back. You can tell your story to the police. Holly, please, please just tell them what happened. It’s okay. They’re gonna take me back to jail.

Please, Holly.

There he is, officers. Take Black. Arrest him. I

want that man arrested for breaking and entering. EJ, please, can we please talk about this for a second? There is nothing to talk about, Brady. Your son has been a plague on my family the moment he arrived in Salem, and we’ve all had enough. He left the halfway house he was confined to, without permission obviously, and then proceeded to break into my home and harass my stepdaughter.

EJ, he broke into your house because he was falsely accused and he’s desperate. He’s a good, honest kid. He wouldn’t have risked everything to break in here if he wasn’t telling the truth. All my son wants is for Holly to finally tell the truth about how and why she OD’d on New Year’s Eve. But we already know how and why she OD’d.

Your son pushed drugs on her. That is why she OD’d, and that is why she ended up in a coma for several months. And Tate only broke in here to try and cover his arse! Stop it! That’s not true! Tate Honey? Polly? Polly? Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Honey!

Yep. Both Wendy and Tripp are alert. They’re doing well, getting checked out as we speak. We should be able to interview them sometime tonight. Listen to me, Jada. I need you to stay on the warden. Alright, we’re gonna need to interview guards, prisoners, support staff. Yeah. As soon as possible. Alright, I’ll see you at the station.

Bye. Any update on Clyde? Not yet. Hell of a start, huh? Breaking out of Statesville. Sure was.

Why haven’t we heard anything yet? Listen, Tripp and Wendy are in good hands, Ava. We need to trust the doctors to do their job. Yeah, speaking of trust What the hell, Ava? We had a plan here. Yeah, some plan. Tripp and Wendy might have died if I hadn’t thought like Clyde, so don’t Hi, sorry, I hope I’m not interrupting, but I do have good news.

You can see Tripp and Wendy now.

So, um, how, how is Tripp? He’s gonna be okay, isn’t he? Yeah, he’s doing well. He’s resting comfortably. Obviously, he’s been through quite an ordeal, as you know. So, keep your visit short, please. He needs the rest, as does Wendy. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Dr. Horton. Yeah, he’s in room 441. Great, thanks. Thanks. So, do you think maybe Wendy’s up for a visit also?

Mm hmm. Judging by my conversation earlier, I think she is. She’s in room 445. Nice. Thank you, Doctor. You got it. Detective Michaels. Yes. How are you feeling? Uh, I’m good. You know, I’m getting stronger every day. Good. Yeah, I’m glad to hear that. I would like to get you checked out, though. So, go talk to Wendy, and then meet me in exam room C.

It’s just down the hall.

I’m awake, Mom. You don’t have to tiptoe. How did you know that it would It’s the perfume you wear. It’s kind of a dead giveaway. Well, no sneaking up on our boy, I guess. How you doing, sweetheart? What can I get you? You need some extra pillows? You need some water? Mom, I’m good, Mom. Thank you. Yeah? How you feeling, son?

Besides tired. I’m just glad to be lying down in an actual bed. Oh, baby. I don’t think I’ve ever been that scared in my life. But your father

Your father saved your life.

Hi, it was a group effort. What’s important now is we found you in time. You’re okay. Hey, Lindy. Hey, Mr. Black, Commissioner. How you

doing there, kiddo? I’m not doing great physically. Really? I’m just beyond relieved and grateful. To be able to breathe. You guys, you really saved my life. And Tripp’s. All in a day’s work. Hey, it’s my line. What do you say? I know you both went above and beyond, so really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

No, no, no. Having you alive and well, that’s all the thanks that we need. Yeah. So, uh, should I contact your parents? Well, actually, I tried to call my mom, but I got her voicemail and I didn’t get into anything in the message, but I just wanted her to know that I was okay. And Tripp, he’s okay, too. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

In fact, his parents are in there with him right now.

So, Wendy, you feel up to talking about what happened? Yeah, yeah, sure. What happened was, Officer Goldman found Trip and I at the geocaching event on Valentine’s Day. And she told us that Trip was in danger. That we had to follow her to a safe house for protection. She said it was a direct order from you, Commissioner.

Yeah, well, um, Yeah, we just learned that she was a bad cop and, uh, Wish we were known sooner. I wish I had too. I was so sure she was one of the good guys. Yeah, right. Well, she obviously is not. In fact, we’re just learning about all the criminal activities that she’s been up to. But, Wendy, kudos on that clue.

Well, it was one of the first words I learned to sign in my college ASL class. Well, you know, I got this feeling that Abe and Steve are going to set you up with a lifetime of beer to memorialize that brilliance. Am I missing something here? Didn’t you know about the video that Officer Goldman had Tripp record for Ava?

Yeah, I did. Okay, well I guess what you didn’t notice was me standing behind Tripp signing the word beer. Wendy’s quick thinking is what led us to the brewery. Wow, Wendy, that was really impressive. Thanks, Commissioner. Yeah, then again, maybe we’d have found you sooner if Ava had just Shared the video with us from the beginning.

Holly, Holly, are you okay? Holly, honey, talk to me. Everyone back off. Especially you. AJ! Oh my gosh. Come on. Get him out of here, please. Wait, wait. Hold on. Wait, stop. Wait, hold on, hold on. Judge, that’s a misunderstanding. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law. You have a right to an attorney.

Commissioner,

please don’t be upset with Ava, okay? Officer Goldman told us that no cops could know about the video. Or else we’d be dead. Yeah, but Ava knew she could trust me. But it was a happy ending, right? We found Wendy and Tripp in time and they’re both okay? Okay. Look, I know that you’re close with Ava. If I find out that she had anything to do with Weston’s escape.

Where’s this coming from? Harris, come on. Really? Well, you don’t think that it’s just a little convenient that at the same time Weston escapes? Triple window, you’re found. Okay, do you have evidence linking Ava to Clyde’s escape? No, not at the moment. But we both know what Ava’s capable of.

Thank you guys for not giving up on us. Either of you. You know, toward the end there, uh, Wendy and I were for sure that we were going to tie in that tank. Well, you know, it was Wendy’s clue with the sign language that saved you. We didn’t have time to plan anything. Officer Goldman had, uh, I spoiled the gunpoint and she told me to read the script as written.

And, you know, Wendy acted on her own. Thank God she did. She’s a very brave young woman. It’s a damn good thing Goldman didn’t notice what she was doing back there. Yeah, she was trying to be, uh, not too obvious to tip off Goldman, but she wanted to Be obvious enough so that you guys could catch it. Almost didn’t at first.

But, your father and John, they were relentless about analyzing that video. Thank God they did not give up. You’re counting on that? Yeah. You know what I’m counting on? I’m counting on you coming home real soon. So, what you need to do right now, sweetheart, is just relax, okay?

Mind if I stay, though? I mean, even if I’m just watching you sleep. Stay as long as you want, Mom. You too, Dad.

You’re a very lucky guy, Detective. Those stitches weren’t meant to be put through the ringer. You’re Yeah, I get that, but hey, I’m still standing. Um, okay, so this is for an antibiotic. And this is for a pain medicine. The antibiotic you have to take. The pain medicine you should only take if necessary. Got it.

I would also prescribe bed rest, but I feel like I’d be wasting my breath. Uh, you would be. Well, I admire your dedication to your job. Uh, I can say the same for you. Seriously though, Harris, I do hope that you’ll get to the bottom of your own case. You know that Xander’s been held in jail without bail ever since you were shot.

Uh, yeah. And I’m, I’m sorry about that. I’m sure my fellow officers would just follow the trail of evidence. The evidence that lined up perfectly to point a finger at Xander? And since I know he’s innocent, I’m Since you’re up and moving around, I thought maybe you would remember who did shoot you. No, so far I, I don’t.

Well, I hope you do remember soon because Victoria really misses her dad. And Xander’s absolutely crazy about her. He’s missing a lot of firsts. Again, I’m really sorry. Thank you. And, and from a medical perspective, I do understand that your memory of that night might elude you, but you were really experienced, Detective Harris, so I have every faith you’ll keep investigating until you figure out who really did shoot you.

So that Victoria and I can bring her dad home, where he belongs.

Well, Wendy seemed in pretty good spirits. Yeah, trip two. Boy, those kids sure are resilient, aren’t they? Yeah. I guess when they’re feeling stronger, we can get more information from them. Yeah, well, I’m not so sure Kyme’s on our side, partner. What are you talking about? No one knows who was involved in Weston’s escape.

Rafe is suspicious of Ava. Based on what? Previous experience with her, cops intuition. I don’t know, I just got the definite vibe that he’s about to start digging. Oh, boy. And his digging could lead straight back to us. Damn it. We’ve made ourselves a serious mistake here, partner. We let the devil loose. God only knows what’s gonna happen next.

Hey.

Well? You all checked out? As ordered. Any updates on the escape? I’m heading to the station now. Gotta put a task force together. This investigation’s gonna be massive. Copy that. I’m gonna hit the pharmacy first, I’ll be right behind you. Mmm, nope, no you’re not. What does that mean? That means that you are not going to the station.

You are going home to get some rest. Doctor’s orders. And mine. Oh, you’re pulling rank on me. Yeah, absolutely. I am. Listen, I need you. But I also need you to be healed up and rested, okay? I can’t take the chance of losing you. You hear me? Alright? Got it.

Hey, Dr. Horton. Hey, Trent. Sorry if I woke you up, but how are you feeling? I’d feel a lot better if I could see Wendy. Think you could take me over to see her? I can do even better.

I’m here for you, Moana. I’m so excited to see you. You didn’t think that they would keep you away from me for long, did you?

May I interest you into a trip to the City of Lights, my sweet? Oh, me oui, mon amour. I’ll go anywhere. With you, Tripp Johnson. Right now, I think I’m just fine being here looking into your eyes. You know, not having a panic attack, not struggling to breathe. I’ll make sure that you never have to suffer through any of that again.

But we made it, Tripp. And struggling through that with you? I couldn’t have asked for a better beer tank, buddy. Me neither. I love you so much. I love you too.

Okay, well, your pulse feels normal. I told you, I’m okay, Mom. Alright, but just to be safe, I’m gonna call Sarah. No, you don’t need to bother Dr. Horton. I’ll be okay, I promise. Alright, well, fine. I won’t call her, but I will leave the monitor on just in case you need anything. And we will be right down the hall.

Actually, there is one thing. What is it? Please don’t send Tate to jail. I promise you, he didn’t do anything wrong. Look, honey, why don’t we talk about this in the morning, okay? Mom, shh. No, honey, shh. Listen, you just, you need to rest. Just close your eyes, okay? You don’t understand, Mom. Please, please. Listen to your mother, Holly.

She knows what’s best for you. Alright?

Please, someone might see us. My mom almost did. By the way, my parents are both addicts, so there is no way I’m taking those and neither should you. Oh, come on. They’re just some ADHD meds I got from someone at school. Everyone does it. Yeah, well, not me. And I didn’t think that you did either. Really? Because I offered you weed like your first day in Salem.

That is not weed, Holly. Those are amphetamines. Very mild ones. Look, they, they just make me feel better, okay? And they give me energy. Wait, so you need to feel better and have more energy tonight when you’re with me? Tate, you don’t understand. They’ll just, they’ll make things more fun for both of us. Yeah, no, not for me.

I’m out. Fine, Mr. Goody Two Shoes. I’m, I’m going to the bathroom. Don’t be sorry. Just Help me, Holly. You have to tell them the truth. Tell them What, exactly? That the pills were yours. That your ODing was because of the pills that you had on you that night, New Year’s Eve. Holly. You have to tell them that I had nothing to do with it.

I can’t.

Thank you. Thought I’m worried about Holly. You need to make sure that she’s okay. I’m sure EJ and Nicole have taken care of her. But what if she slipped back into the coma? Tate, it looked like she just fainted. Okay, right now my focus is on you. What’s gonna happen to me? Jim is, uh, Jim is gonna give me a minute with you before you have to, uh No.

Dad, no. They can take me back to the halfway house. I promise I won’t try to leave again. They can do whatever they want. I’ll sign up for more cleaning duties. Please, Dad, just Hey, there’s only so much I can do. I can’t help you here, because my hands are tied. You broke into the DA’s house. I know, but you can talk to Nicole.

She’ll listen to you. She is not going to turn on her husband right now. I can’t make her do that, all right? It’s going to look bad on everybody. Son, I’m sorry. Stop. No, no, no, please. Just wait one second. Dad, please. Tate, Tate, I will talk to Justin. I’ll get you out of this safe. I’m sorry. We’ll try to I’m sorry.

I know you are. It’s okay. I really screwed up this time.

It’s okay.

Thank you. Thank you for everything that you did for my son. Tripp’s gonna be okay. And so are you. Thank God. I know, um, I know how you were there for me. A lot. When I was unconscious, Rafe told me. I just want to say I’m sure it helped in my recovery. Just sensing that you were around me. Yeah. I’m not sure how much it helped but, I was definitely around.

How you feeling? Um, Glad I’m not staying here tonight. Looking forward to just sleeping in my own bed. Yeah. How about my bed? Harris, you’re still recovering from a gunshot wound and then you run around like some superhero. Try and help save my son. I know you, and I know you’re not recovered fully yet.

I know you need someone to help take care of you. And I’d like to be that someone. Will you let me? Please.

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Why does Tate’s mom keep dm’ing me?

Yes! Come on, Holly, call me.

There’s this. A little chapel on a cliff. Oh, it’s so beautiful. Oh, where, where, where is it? In Kauai. That’s, that’s where we should get married for real. Any, any, anywhere you, But I loved our vows here. Me too. But we never We never got We never got Never got to what? The part where you Repeat after me. Right.

Where? For richer, for poorer.

Better, for worse. Sickness and health. Come

Come on. Clyde, you bitch! Lying bastard. God, Goldman, you piece of What was I thinking? What is the matter with me? Idiot!

Oh, God, Tripp. Tripp, baby, I can’t lose you. I can’t lose you.

Oh, hey there, Mitali. What did I tell you?

Can you believe it? Beckett Goldman, the one person you would never expect to be on the dark side. When I heard your APB, to say that I was shocked would be an understatement. Harris. Harris, hey. What are you doing here, man? Yeah. And in your condition, why would they released me? They didn’t. I, uh, checked myself out against medical advice.

Harris, you don’t need to do this, okay? Listen to me. We’ve got this handled. Okay? We don’t need you. Yes, you do need me. You can always use an extra pair of eyes and knowing everything that I know now, there’s no way I’m just gonna lie in that hospital bed and do nothing.

Hello, Abraham. You, you know me? Of course I do. It’s my, it’s my brain telling tricks on you. Am I hallucinating?

Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives. It’s,

it’s you.

Let’s see.

I’ve seen. Pictures of you.

I’m Paulina. But, you probably know that.

Lexi. Is it I?

Paulina, what’s going on? What’s going on? Don’t you Don’t you see her? It’s Lexi. Your first wife. But Lexi, you You died. You died years Years ago. You know what? Maybe we can use you. All right, where do we start? Becca Goldman, an operative for that scum Clyde Weston. Ugh, I still can’t wrap my head around that.

Okay, what have you uncovered so far? Well, we’re searching her apartment as we speak. We’ve got an APB out on her and our car. Yeah, a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Expired plates. Highway Patrol’s been looped in. We’re also searching her financial records and phone records. Although it would be amateur hour for her to have not used a burner phone.

And clearly, she’s not an amateur considering the way that she played us. Yeah, she’s, uh, she’s a cop. She knows exactly what we’re doing. How we win this is by skating to where the puck’s gonna be, not where it is right now.

John Stega, wait, how did you get back here? You know, it took us all of three minutes to knock your goons out and leave them on the side of the road. Damn it, Ava. Look, I didn’t have a choice. You had a choice. Okay, he lied to me, that bastard, he lied. And now he’s long gone, isn’t he?

Steve. Our son. Our son. What about our son, Ava? What did Clyde tell you? He said that Tripp was as good as dead. Well, I’ll tell you something. I don’t trust anything that psychopath says. I won’t accept that. I won’t believe it until every stone is turned over. What have I done? This is, this is all my fault.

Shut up!

We don’t have time for that, Ava. We’ve got to find Trip before it’s too late. I’m going to hold my, hold my house somewhere.

Where? The countryside.

Where I have, uh, I have two kids. A boy and a girl. Two kids? Yes. And it’ll be, it’ll be perfect. Because, because you’re, you’re perfect. I want, I love you so much. I love you. My sweet husband. And I love you too. What the hell is that? Oh my god! Dean!

Lexi, Lexi,

that was, that was my first wife’s name, I, I read that in my dossier,

you died, right? She died, she died, right? Years ago, Brain cancer. You had us fun together.

Theo! What? Wait, wait, wait a minute. Are you going to take her? Are you here to take her to the other side? Abraham. Darling.

It’s my time. No, no, no, no, no, no. It is not your time. I will not let you take her. I won’t let you, do you hear me? I won’t let you take her.

I can’t believe I, I gave that lowlife a shoulder to lean on. No, I comforted her when she shot that drug dealer. And we took her word for it. But he drew on her first. She executed the guy to keep him from talking. She was cleaning up for Clyde. All that time, right under our nose. Wait, her sore arm.

Remember? The night of the attempted murder of Lucas at the pub? She said she hurt herself at the gym or something. But, but Kate, Kate shot at the assailant. Oh my god, it’s all adding up now. How did we not see this? Because she’s good. Did either one of you, uh, question Officer Phillips? Yeah. Yeah, we did.

And? And while he’s not thrilled to be on death’s duty, he understands that we also need to investigate him. He was curious about being betrayed and seemed shocked about what she did. Only god knows what else we’re gonna uncover. Dane,

oh my god. What are you doing here? You did it. You’re alive. I can’t believe I’m looking at you. And that, that you’re okay, Holly. I’ve, I’ve missed you so much. Dane, you shouldn’t be here. No, no, no. It’s okay. Don’t worry. No one knows. No one saw me. So Tell me, did you go to the other side? What happened? I mean, I was in a coma for a while, but I woke up, as you can see.

Oh my god. After I found you at the party, after you OD’d, Holly, I thought you were gonna die. And I didn’t know what I was gonna do. I was, there was no way I could have dealt with that. I was thinking maybe I’d buy a one way ticket somewhere far away, but You don’t have to go anywhere.

So, I’m really okay? I, um, I feel like Uh,

um Well Well? You little Romeo. I can’t believe you just scaled a trellis to climb into my room. You know the last time a boy did that was in sixth grade? And he spent the rest of the school year with a cast on his right arm. Hmm. Well, trust me, I’ve done crazier. I believe that. Uh, so, were you gonna tell me what you’re doing here?

Well, uh, you wouldn’t answer any of my calls, my DMs, and I, I don’t have a carrier pigeon, so I kind of felt like I was running out of options. Yeah, I, I know, I just, I didn’t really know what to say to you. But I guess I know what I want to say now. And I’m sorry, Tate. I’m really, really sorry.

Listen, you gotta call Rafe. You gotta get this video into the hands of the police right now. I can’t hurt. All right, look. No talk about the Western escape. Okay, look. I don’t care. I don’t care what they do to me. I only care about my son and what happens to him and that he’s okay. Rafe. John Black. Hey, John.

What’s up? What? I’m sitting here with Steve and Ava. And Ava received a very disturbing video. Oh yeah? Of what? Of Tripp and Wendy being held hostage. Situation looks dire. So far we’re betting zero. Want to take a look at it? When did you receive it? It’s time sensitive, man. You want to look at it or not?

Yeah, okay. Send it over. On its way. Okay. Maybe they can pick up on something we missed. Well, let’s hope so. But in the meantime, how about we take another look? Fire it up.

Hi mom. First you need to know that Wendy and I are okay. You’re getting this message as a warning to keep your mouth shut and not talk to any law enforcement about anything you’re currently involved in. And you will not tell anyone about this video. You’re being monitored. So, be very careful what you say or do.

And be sure to do exactly as you’re told. Wait a minute. When you’re contacted. I’m missing something. I think I do. If you follow these instructions, Wendy and I can come home. No.

Where is my shepherd? I shall not want. He, makes me lie down and, Creeping pastures.

Leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul.

Wendy.

Abe, do you remember when I last saw you? When you, you last saw me. Yes, it was in heaven. Lexi, oh my

god.

It’s been ten years since I lost you.

It’s not a days gone by that I, that I don’t think of you, that miss you. You’re still in my heart. And in Theos, my precious son, he’s so kind, gentle, and when he smiles, There you are. My sweet Lexi. You raised him well, Abe. Oh no, no. I won’t take credit. Not all of it. You, you, you were there, as I said, and, and, and you are in his heart and in his smile.

You’re there, always. Always. Always. Always. See? I remember.

I remember now. I remember it all. I remember when we met. We met at the Salem PD and we We were partners. I Paulina? Paulina! Do you know what that means? Do you know what that means? Do you know what this means, my love? Hey,

hey. Don’t be sorry. It’s okay, really. Come on, sit. Hey. No. Look, Holly, it’s fine. It’s fine. It’s not fine. It’s not. I’m embarrassed. Actually, no, more than embarrassed, I’m ashamed. I should have known better. I mean, you even told me not to take those pills, but I did it anyways. Honestly, I thought they were just ADHD meds.

Just good old fashioned stims. Harmless. I should have listened to you, Tate. Wait. That’s why you’re sorry? Well, yeah. Is there something else I should be sorry about? Polly, do you have any idea what happened after you OD’d? I got in I got in terrible trouble. EJ blamed me for giving you those drugs. What?

Yeah, he said I forced you to take them. They were laced with opiates, which is Why you overdosed. He had me arrested, Holly. Lexi,

we had quite the life together, didn’t we?

We had our, we had our ups and downs, but we were so very much in love. We had our son, Leo. Oh my god, you were, you were chief of staff right here, right here at this hospital.

Seems I only fall in love with competent, feisty women. Yes, that seems to be true. But now, you need to focus on just one woman, Ape. The woman you’ve committed the rest of your life to. Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Yes, this woman. This woman. She is my life now. She’s everything. She’s my everything. I remember. I remember.

Our wedding

looks so beautiful

and we, we jumped the prune because it was June 19th. June 19th. That’s the day that we became, we became husband and wife.

We have

so much life to live. Right, my darling? Paulina? Paulina? Paulina, are you with me? Paulina? Paulina?

No!

No! I think the

proof’s all here. Clyde is behind this. He’s the mastermind. He knew kidnapping Tripp would get Ava to do anything he demanded for her to save her son. But his plan to take me out failed miserably. And Goldman being the mole, I think we have a little bit of a criminal conspiracy on our hands. Goldman.

Goldman. Goldman. I had Goldman fill out the missing persons report. Wendy and Tripp. Everything looked fine until Damn. Check the contact for intel. Rebecca Goldman. What’s up? Pretty damn cunning. If anyone reached out, it would go straight to her.

Pull her GPS info. Pull her GPS info. When Wendy and Tripp went missing.

Hey, you alright? Yeah. Hey, are you okay? Are you sure you’re okay to do this? Alright. Yeah, I’m sure. Get on the phone then. Contact the prison. See if there’s any communication between Goldman and Clyde. I’m on it. Alright. They’re pulling up the squad’s GPS. Okay, good. That’s how police leads or something.

Look, I was focusing on Tripp before. But look at Wendy here. She’s, she’s been making these gestures behind him. Look, she, she brushes her hand across her cheek from the top to bottom and then making these circular motions two or three times. Yup. There it is, I see it, I see it. Okay. What are you doing?

Checking the ASL site. ASL? American Sign Language. Kayla and I studied it when she lost her hearing for a while. What, you think, you think that Wendy is, is using sign language? Yes, I do. That’s it. I got it. That’s, that’s ASL for beer. Beer? Why would Wendy be making the sign for beer? Hey, hey, hey. Look at this.

In the background, see the rivets on that metal there? Yeah. See that curvature? Looks like some sort of a tank. A brew tank! Hey man, isn’t there a brewery out past the airport? That has been abandoned for years. We were at the airport. We were just there. Let’s move. Okay.

Wait, EJ, he had you arrested? Yeah, yeah, he did. First, they sent me to jail, and then they sent me to this awful place for GV criminals, and then finally they moved me to this stupid rehab center called Serenity Salem. Oh my god, Tate, I’m so sorry. Don’t I had no idea. Don’t be sorry. Just, help me, Holly. You have to tell them the truth.

Tell them what, exactly? That the pills were yours. That your ODing was because of the pills that you had on you that night, New Year’s Eve. Holly, you have to tell them that I had nothing to do with it.

I can’t.

I’m getting nowhere with Statesville right now. They said there’s some type of toxic chemical spill tonight, so their hands are full. Wait, I think I got something here. What is it? Okay, starting from the date that Wendy and Tripp disappeared until today, there’s one address here that’s listed over a dozen times.

And it’s too far out of town to be a stop on Goldman’s patrol. Run it. Can we uh, let’s hope we hit pay dirt here. It’s the brewery, by the airport. Bingo. Okay, I’m going with you. Alright, good. You find out exactly what’s going on at Statesville. You should check the printout and see if Goldman made any more stops.

Any at all. She stopped for a cold hot dog. I want to know about it. Okay, and you will. Let’s go. Tripp! Tripp! Tripp! Wendy! Wendy! I told her! They’re here! Are they alive? Just stay back for now. Just stay here.

Lexi.

I remember after, after I got shot, you appeared to me from heaven. And you said, you said it wasn’t my time. You said that I was needed. Here in this life, we can’t be together. I don’t want to leave you. I’ll be here. My darling waiting, but it’s not your time yet. I think you know that.

Yes, I know it. I know it now. My children. The children need me. And my grandchildren, my friends, Paulina.

I know I have to go back. And so you will, my love. God bless you, Maxine.

Needed it. By my kids. My friends. And Paulina. And you still are.

I need her, Lexi. I, we, we need her. She, she, she, she’s, she’s scattered on by so many people.

She She can’t leave. She can’t leave. I’m not here to take anyone, Abe. I’m here to help you. To help Paulina. Close your eyes. Now look deep into your heart. And feel the love inside of it. Can you feel it, Abe? Good. Now take that feeling of love and transfer it to her. Transfer it? Transfer it? How? How? Believe, Abe.

You have to believe what’s in your heart. Believe. Believe.

I’ll eat it. I’ll eat it.

What do you mean, you can’t? You can’t what, tell the truth? This is my life we’re talking about here, Holly, and right now I have no life. I am stuck in some awful halfway house for no reason, even though I didn’t do anything wrong. I want my life back, Holly! Okay, okay. I’ll tell them the drugs weren’t yours.

I just can’t tell them they were mine. What? No, but Holly, they’re still gonna think that they were mine. Don’t you get it? Tate, Tate, please. Please, we can make up another story. Why do we have to make up another story? Why can’t you just tell the truth? Because, Look, I overheard my mom talking to EJ when she thought I was sleeping, and she was going on about how disappointed she’d be if it turned out those drugs were mine.

And, I mean, you know, when she lost her baby, she totally fell apart. It was horrible what that did to her. And then, God, with me almost dying? I mean, if she thought I was responsible for what happened to me, I I can’t do that to her, Tate. I just can’t. Oh my god.

So, you are going to sacrifice me. You are going to totally ruin my future so that you can what, Holly? Keep up appearances? Pretend you’re just this little golden child? It’s not like that. Then what is it like, Holly? Please. Please. Holly, please, you have to help me. Come on, Ricky,

come on. Back to me, kid. Come on, kid. Come on, come on. Are they breathing? Come on. Ava, stay back, please. Are they breathing? Tell me! Call 9 1 1. I already did. Call again! Okay. Come on. Come on. Come on. Hey. Hey. Yes, yes, yes. Hi. Hi, hi, hi. Yes, I just called. Yes, a few minutes ago about two people that we found out at the brewery.

Phyllis: I’m sorry. I– I’m sorry. I don’t mean to be in your way. That’s accidental. I didn’t do it on purpose, but don’t, you know, say that to anyone in this town. They won’t believe you. [ Phyllis chuckles ] Hello. This is a surprise.

Nick: What’s, uh, going on?

Phyllis: Buy me a drink and I’ll tell you.

Nikki: Victor, evading my question only makes me more suspicious. Now, I’ve asked you, where are you going at this hour?

Victor: And I have told you.

Nikki: But you didn’t give me a straight answer.

Victor: Because I don’t want to worry you.

Nikki: You don’t think it worries me that you won’t answer a simple question?

Victor: All right, I’ll tell you.

Nikki: Thank you.

Victor: Have a seat. So… I’ve heard from jordan.

Nikki: And?

Victor: She took my bait.

Nikki: What does that mean?

Victor: I want to meet with her.

Nikki: Oh, victor, no.

Victor: Yes. Don’t worry. Everything’s under control.

Nikki: So that’s where you’re going right now? To meet jordan?

Victor: Yeah.

[ Jordan humming ]

[ Jordan chuckles ]

[ Jordan sighs ]

Marshalls buyers have a very

particular set of skills.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victor: Yes, send him in.

Nikki: How do you know that jordan’s not planning a trap of her own?

Victor: I’m sure she is. But I have it under control. I have the upper hand, okay?

Nikki: We have thought that before, victor, but look where we are.

Victor: Sweetheart, I promise you, this time will be successful. This is the last stage of a plan I have to make sure that woman will not cause pain to our family again.

Michael: Okay, I’m here. What’s the emergency? Oh.

Victor: All arranged?

Michael: So, this is it, huh? This is really happening tonight.

Victor: Yes.

Michael: Well, uh, yeah, everything’s arranged as ordered, uh, but I want to tell you that I’m not crazy about this. I don’t like the legal risks you’re taking or the legal risks I’m taking.

Nikki: All right, well, one of you please tell me what is going on? What is happening, and where did this last stage of your plan come from?

Victor: Sweetheart, the less you know, the better, all right? I have this under control. I’ll be back and tell you everything. Um… I adore you. You know that. You’ve gotta trust me now, all right? Let’s go.

Claire: Nikki? I didn’t expect to find you up at this hour. Are– are you okay?

Nikki: Oh, yeah, yeah. I’ve– I’ve just been handling some things. Uh, I’m too keyed up to go to bed yet.

Claire: I think I have the perfect solution.

Nikki: And what would that be?

Claire: Let me distract you again. Only this time, you tell me a story.

Nick: Nah, drink’s not gonna happen for you. I feel like you’ve had plenty already.

Phyllis: Sometimes you just need to annihilate the darkness.

Nick: Really?

Phyllis: Mm-hmm.

Nick: Okay, phyllis.

Phyllis: I had an epiphany. Do you want to hear it?

Nick: Sure.

Phyllis: Don’t try to change. Ever. It’s a waste of time.

Nick: You know that’s not true, phyllis. I’ve admired the way you’ve tried to change.

Phyllis: It’s true. Oh, what good has it done? I mean, my kids… still walk around me like they’re walking on eggshells.

[ Sighs ] My friends… I don’t even have any friends, that’s for sure. And, uh, then… I thought I really had a chance at happiness. That just blew up in my face. It was crushed under… the history… that I have that I will never, ever escape from. So, why try?

Did you know you waste

200 hours a year

Nick: I don’t suppose this “second chance at something” has anything to do with a certain rock star that we were talking about at society the other night?

Phyllis: It doesn’t matter.

Nick: All of a sudden, danny romalotti doesn’t matter?

Phyllis: Oh, don’t say his name, please. Don’t say his name. Uh, why did I even try?

Nick: Well, when we were talking, you gave me the impression that things were on the upswing with you two.

Phyllis: Yeah. Well, I was wrong. He told me who he really wanted, and it’s not me.

Nick: He actually said that?

Phyllis: Yeah. He actually said that.

[ Nick sighs ] You know, when I was standing there, humiliated and rejected… you know what my first impulse was?

Nick: Well, I hope I’m wrong about this, but I’m guessing it was revenge.

Phyllis: It was revenge. That’s what my first impulse was. See? I can’t change. It’s like my default. It’s just my tiger stripes. I’ve been trying to change this whole time, and I can’T. It’s just obviously who I am.

[ Phyllis sobbing ] So why should I even try to change?

Nick: Okay, don’t– don’t do that.

Phyllis: Do what?

Nick: This “you can’t change” garbage, and that’s what it is. All right? We both know that’s not true.

Phyllis: Yeah, how do you know that?

Nick: Because we’ve all watched you do it for months, and do it very well, by the way. You can change. You did change.

Phyllis: Oh, I haven’t, nick. I haven’T. And even if you think I have, so what? So damn what? Where’s my drink?

Nick: No, we’re not gonna do that, all right? I’ve got a better offer for you.

Phyllis: What is your better offer?

Nick: Instead of a drink, why don’t you let me buy you some dinner? Junk food. All you want, whatever you want.

Phyllis: What kind of junk food?

Nick: Name it.

Phyllis: Um… how about, uh, room service junk food?

[ Laughs ] I mean–

Nick: Really?

Phyllis: Yeah, it is the best, because no one will see me eating.

[ Phyllis laughs ] And I want to change out of this dress. I feel embarrassed, so…

Nick: Okay. Let’s do it. You lead the way. Hey, let’s, you know, just– let’s leave that.

[ Phyllis laughs ]

Phyllis: Ooh.

Nick: Okay, o– okay.

Phyllis: Yeah, it’s okay. It’s okay. It’s all right.

Nick: You’re doing great.

Phyllis: It’s okay.

Nikki: It’s sweet of you to try to distract me, but… I’m afraid I’m just not up to telling stories tonight.

Claire: Not even the legendary story of how nikki reed met victor newman? I read about a million versions of it, and jordan spoon-fed me more dirt on all of you than I ever wanted to know.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: I can only imagine. Well, all right. But you asked for it, so… fasten your seatbelt.

Michael: I don’t feel great about this location, victor.

Victor: Why?

Michael: I think it was a mistake not to bring police back up. If jordan shows up to meet you, they take her into custody. It’s over. End of story.

Victor: She would have noticed that a mile away.

Michael: I do have one favor to ask you.

Victor: What’s that?

Michael: Don’t make me a liar to my wife. No heroics, no surprises. Look, I promised lauren I’d be home in a couple of hours, safe and sound.

Victor: Lauren has nothing to worry about, okay?

[ Clattering ] Hey, dad. I got an a on my book report. -And i scored a goal on ashley. -That’s cool. And I went for a walk in the woods and I didn’t get a single flea or tick on me. You are just the best. Probably because of that flea and tick medicine you’ve been ordering from chewy. We are very proud of you. You never stop surprising us, bailey. Right? I’m great. You are greaT. I wonder if bailey’s ever done a book report. Be nice to your sister. What flea bit him? Pets aren’t just pets. They’re more. This flea and tick season, get 20% off your first pharmacy order at chewy. All of the things that

Victor: Now you have given yourself an impressive advantage. I mean, look at those rooftops. No way I could position the sniper. Not that that thought ever occurred to me.

Jordan: No, because that would be so unsportsmanlike. So un-victor newman of you.

Victor: I said I would come with my lawyer. No cops, just one man. I kept my word.

Jordan: Well, that’s funny, because my sister never said that about you before she died. But that was decades ago. People do change.

Victor: Well, some do, and some don’T.

Jordan: You are beginning to bore me. So let’s get right to the point, okay? Mr. Man of his word, tell me about this restitution.

[ Michael clears throat ] What have we here?

Victor: It’s your new life.

Jordan: Oh. You’ve got my attention. Tell me more.

Victor: It’s a bank account with 10 million bucks in it.

Jordan: Nice.

Victor: And a new passport, new identity, new birth certificate. Ball of wax.

Jordan: Go on.

Victor: And keys and a deed to a new house in the south of france.

Jordan: Oh. With or without a pool?

Victor: Well, what do you think? Imagine. You can start a new life. Beautiful home, beautiful country. Don’t have to worry about a damn thing.

[ Jordan scoffs ]

Jordan: Sounds so very tempting.

Victor: Just think. You no longer have to be on the run. No cops on your tail. No worries about prosecution. All you have to do is leave the united states. Never look back.

Nikki: I guess the best place to start would be my late teens. Not a part of my life that I’m particularly proud of.

Claire: Why? What was going on with you?

Nikki: Oh, I was very naive and a bit promiscuous. Kind of a wild child. I took every wrong path I came across.

Claire: Like what?

Nikki: Well… I signed on to a modeling agency that turned out to be a front for prostitution. And then I joined a commune that turned out to be a cult.

Claire: I’m so sorry, nikki. I didn’t know any of that.

Nikki: Then I got a job dancing at a club called the bayou. I’m certain you heard about that.

Claire: It was one of jordan’s fixations, yes.

Nikki: Well, in the meantime, a very handsome, successful older man named victor newman was going through a rough time. His first wife had left him, and he was depressed. So one night, his best friend, douglas austin, decided to cheer him up by taking him out to a club.

Claire: The one where you were working?

Nikki: Exactly. So victor was sitting in the audience when I came out on stage that night. It was the first time we ever laid eyes on each other.

Claire: Did he ask you out?

Nikki: Um, no, not exactly. It was more like he took me under his wing. He was determined to transform this mess, street-smart, punk kid into a sophisticated young lady. Uh, he arranged for etiquette lessons, and I learned how to dress, learned how to carry on proper conversation at a cocktail party.

Victor: We’ll have to make time for music. The piano you have at home probably isn’t very good, so I want you to come here and practice for about an hour or two every day. And then you’ll need some coaching, and I’ll arrange for that.

Nikki: Well, those lessons are gonna cost a lot of money.

Victor: Well, I can afford to indulge my whims, and right now it just suits me to give you some music lessons.

Nikki: And what do you want in return? I mean, nobody takes the time and money to do this sort of thing for a person if they don’t want something back.

Victor: Well, the finished product will be my reward. I mean, when I’m done with you, you’ll be ready to go anywhere and meet anyone. You’ll be an accomplished and cultured woman. So now, play again. And this time with more legato.

Nikki: Oh, you– you know about music, too?

Victor: I know something about almost everything, and so will you.

Claire: And in the process, the two of you fell in love?

Nikki: Oh, well, I did. He didn’T. Not– not yet.

Claire: Jordan said that the two of you were married several times.

Nikki: Well, that is true, uh, to each other and to other people. We’ve both been through a lot, but, um, we always managed to find our way back to each other. And I guess that’s a testament to the devotion we have for one another and for our children, our grandchildren. Family is very important to us. You see, victor was raised in an orphanage.

Claire: I had read that, but jordan said that that was just a phony publicity story manufactured by newman enterprises to counteract victor’s ruthless reputation.

Victor: Well, for his sake, I wish that were true, but he did grow up in an orphanage, and family was something that he always yearned for. And now that he has one, he makes damn sure that nothing will happen to any of us, including you.

Claire: Me? After everything I did?

Nikki: As far as he’s concerned, anyone with a drop of newman blood is family, and he will love and protect them forever.

Claire: This doesn’t sound anything like the terrible man I grew up hearing about. When did eve howard come into your lives?

[ Door opens ]

Phyllis: Wait here.

Nick: I plan to.

Phyllis: Okay.

Nick: Wow. [ Sighs ] Hey, how’s it going? Uh, could I get some food sent up? Yeah, um, let’s go with a couple of cheeseburgers, some fries, uh, onion rings, and mac and cheese. Yeah, two orders of each. Thanks. Bye.

Phyllis: Did you get onion rings or grilled cheese?

Nick: Uh, I got onion rings and mac and cheese, so…

Phyllis: Oh, mac and cheese! Oh, my favorites. Because you know my motto, do you remember? “I never met a carb that I didn’t like.” Yeah.

Nick: Yeah.

Phyllis: Well, you can go. Yeah, you can go. Thank you for taking care of me for, like, the one-… billionth time that I’m not at my best, so thank you.

Nick: Yeah, that’s not gonna happen. You think I’m gonna let you have all this food to yourself? No.

[ Phyllis clears throat ]

Phyllis: Listen, if you could not tell summer or daniel that this happened, I’d really appreciate it. I know that’s a lot to ask, you know, considering, um, my luck these days. I’m not counting on it, but…

Nick: I promise you, neither one of them’s gonna hear a word about this from me.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Nick: Sure.

Phyllis: Do you want a nightcap?

Nick: No, I’m good, thanks.

Phyllis: I mean, do you mind if I make myself one?

Nick: Not at all.

Phyllis: All right. Thank you.

[ Phyllis clears throat ]

Nick: You know, you could just put the drink down, and we could talk about whatever it is that’s bothering you. You could, uh, rant, whatever. Get anything you want off your chest. I’m here to listen.

Phyllis: No judgment?

Nick: I wouldn’t, even if I was thinking it. I would’ve called yesterday.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Do I love speed walking?…

Phyllis: So, um, abby gave me the restaurant, and, I mean, the entire restaurant plus the kitchen because danny was gonna make his pasta recipe. His, um… he makes a special, uh, sauce, and he was gonna make it. Um, so it was just gonna be one last night before he, um, went on tour.

Nick: So danny is leaving town?

Phyllis: Yeah, he’s leaving town.

Nick: Well, I mean, it sounds like you came up with a pretty cool way to say goodbye.

Phyllis: Yeah. It’s very romantic.

Nick: Please tell me he showed up.

Phyllis: Yeah, he showed up. With christine.

Nick: Oh. Ouch.

Phyllis: Ouch.

Nick: Sorry.

Phyllis: Yeah, it was kind of ouch. You know, this time I really felt like danny and i had a chance. I know it sounds weird, but I just felt like, um… that I was being rewarded for changing like I’ve been doing. I’ve been working really hard. And I felt like it– it was fate. They were giving me a do-over. Um… you know, that I was getting a chance to… right so many wrongs from my past. You know. And I felt like, um, danny and I really connected in a different way this time.

Nick: Sounds to me like you did a great job. You know, you might be looking at this the wrong way, though. It’s not a matter of good versus bad. It’s just a human thing, you know, a connection. Danny and christine, they always click.

Phyllis: I click with him, too. I didn’t just imagine that. I mean, it was really there. I guess I’M… just not enough. Wow. How am I not enough?

Nick: You are. You are enough, all right? And you… you will be for… someone else.

Phyllis: Who? Who? Where are they? It’s weird talking about this with you. I can’t talk about this with you. It’s just really hard. Um… I’ve been working so hard at being better. Being better than I was, at least. It’s just difficult trying to be the person that my kids want me to be. And be the person that everybody in this town wants me to be. Every day is hard. And at the end of the day, I just feel alone. That’s all. And lonely.

Claire: Nikki, I’m sorry. That was stupid. Your story’s wonderful, and I shouldn’t have asked about my grandmother. Just skip over the eve howard part. It’s probably the last thing you want to relive right now after the nightmare you’ve been through.

Nikki: Well, you know what? It might be helpful for me to just get it all out. That’s a long, complicated story. Did jordan ever tell you that eve tried to poison victor?

Claire: No. She always made it out like eve was so innocent and loving, that victor betrayed her.

Nikki: She was a menace, just like her sister. She was arrested and taken to a psychiatric facility.

Claire: Oh, like me.

Nikki: No, not like you. Everything she did was of her own free will. And unlike you, she didn’t want to get well. So she just continued on her path of destruction. And then she read in the paper that victor and i were getting married, so she infiltrated our wedding, disguised as a caterer, and tried to stab me.

Claire: What? Knives and the disguises and the poison, it’s– it’s just like jordan. I didn’t know any of this.

Nikki: Well, no, of course not. She couldn’t tell you the truth about these things and still pretend to be righteous. I didn’t tell you this to upset you. I’m so sorry if I did. I just think that you deserve to know the truth about both sides of your family.

Claire: I do, yeah. Thank you for telling me. It’s just… it makes me think.

Nikki: About what?

Claire: Everything I did. The lies, the deception, the drugging, the alcohol in your iv.

Nikki: Honey, that was all jordan’s influence.

Claire: But still, I’m the one who did those things. What if their madness is in me?

Michael: For pete’s sake, the offer’s on the table. Take it or leave it.

Victor: Now, jordan, you know that your sister eve would not want you to spend the rest of your life in prison just to avenge her.

Jordan: Of course she wouldn’T. So what’s the catch?

Victor: Nothing. No catch.

Jordan: Really?

Victor: No.

Jordan: So what’s to stop you from calling the authorities and informing them about my new identity and then having them arrest me at the airport before I even board the plane? Or perhaps, perhaps, you’ve already rigged that lovely chateau in france to go boom the minute that I show up. I’m not an idiot, victor.

Michael: Neither is victor. He antic– he anticipated that you’d think that.

Victor: I have a solution. I will assure you that this won’t happen.

Jordan: I can’t wait to hear it.

Victor: You take me… as your hostage. Breathing claritin clear is like…

Jordan: So take you as my hostage?

Victor: Mm-hmm.

Jordan: Tell me how that would work.

Victor: Very simple. You take me to a hideaway that only you know about. You lock me up… until you have made your escape. Then you call my lawyer. Tell him where he can find me.

Jordan: What if I should decide to just leave you there to rot?

Michael: Then I will personally see to it that your $10 million… bank account vanishes into thin air and your location and new identity is reported to interpol.

Victor: Think about it. Dream of your new life, a beautiful country, beautiful mansion, swimming pool, more money than you can ever dream of. And all shattered… because of you.

Nikki: You are nothing like your grandmother and your aunt. I won’t even let you think such a thing. The fact that you were able to change so dramatically after all those miserable years with jordan, I mean, that just proves what a kind and decent person you are.

Claire: Your opinion of my mental state… of my decency, really… it’s what I’ve feared the most, so… thank you for saying that.

Nikki: I’m not just saying it. I mean it. Jordan tried to destroy both of us. But look at us now. And if victor is right, things may take a turn tonight, and we will be rid of jordan forever.

Claire: How? What’s happening tonight?

Nick: Phyllis, no.

[ Phyllis moans ] No. No.

Phyllis: Yes.

Nick: All right? This is a bad idea for a lot of reasons.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s not. Name one reason.

Nick: Stop. Stop it. All right? For one, you’re not thinking clearly right now, and I’m a gentleman. All right? And… we both know where this goes from here. We cannot go back to that.

Phyllis: Okay, listen, I’m gonna propose this. How about this? No strings. No strings. All right? Just two… lonely people… who love each other very much.

Nick: I’M… I never said anything about being lonely.

Phyllis: Yes, you are. Yes, you are lonely. Yes, you are. I could see it. Sally dumped you for adam.

Nick: Okay. Now we brought up adam. That’s like an instant cold shoulder.

[ Knocking on door ] Food’s here. All right, perfect. Let’s get some carbs in you asap. Hey, how’s it going? Thank you so much. All right, here you go. Thank you. Appreciate you.

Bellhop: Sir.

Phyllis: I know you love me just a little. ()

Nick: I mean, we’ve talked about this many times, phyllis. We will always be woven into each other’s lives. And it’s not just because of summer. It’s also because of our, uh… amazing history. Which includes a lot of mistakes. A lot of mistakes. But I hope you know, no matter how tough times get, you can always count on me. Just like I know I can always count on you. Well, I mean, usually.

Phyllis: Always. You can always count on me. I love talking to you. I love listening to you. We could have done this in bed.

Nick: Yeah, we could have. You would have regretted that.

Phyllis: No, I wouldn’T.

Nick: Oh, phyllis. I’m gonna go. Yeah, I’m gonna go. Are you okay?

Phyllis: Well, I mean, I’m fine. Thank you, thank you for everything tonight.

Nick: Glad I could help.

[ Both laugh ]

Phyllis: Thank you. I mean it. Thank you.

Nick: Anytime.

Nikki: All I know is that jordan reached out to victor tonight and they made plans to meet. Aside from that, I’m as much in the dark as you are.

Claire: God, I hope he’s okay.

Nikki: Just don’t lose sight of the fact that if victor’s plan works tonight, we have you to thank.

Claire: No. Not me at all.

Nikki: Yes, you. You had the strength to reach out to a woman who terrifies you, all for the good of your new family. The courage that it took for you to set tonight in motion, that’s the newman side of you. You have proven that deep in your soul, you are a newman.

Victor: So what is it going to be? A life of wealth? And freedom that you could never have imagined? Or the life you have today? Alone. Despised. Hunted like an animal. Do we have a deal?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Another dead end. All the safe houses are empty. Not that we should be surprised. It would be unlike jason to allow himself to be found. He’s in trouble, spinelli. That much is clear from the footage. So, think. You know jason better than anyone else.

[ Engine sputters ] Um, where — where would he hide out?

[ Engine sputtering ] Maxie? Uh-oh. Not only do you let me hide out in here, but you bring me provisions? Best son ever. The doughnut is from an actual bakery, by the way. A gift from a patient who was discharged earlier. Mm. So, you’re saying it’s edible? The coffee, on the other hand, is G.H.’S finest. Ah. I’ll proceed with caution. Smart move. So, why are you, anyway, hiding out? You know you can wait in the icu with everyone else. I know, but I want to give dante’s family some space. I don’t suppose you’ve heard any updates? Not in the last 20 minutes. God. They must all be going out of their minds. That’s exactly what I’m worried about.

[ Knock on door ] Hey, jake. Hi, finn. My mom’s not home yet. Oh. Her shift was supposed to have ended a little while ago. She texted. She’s running late. Ah. Must be some unforeseen hospital business. Um, it’s — it’s cool if you want to come in and — and wait. Yeah? You sure? Yeah. Ah. Thanks. How’s, uh — how’s school going? Uh, pretty good. Really? Yeah. Is this yours? Thank you so much. Good night. Danny! Hey. It’s pretty late to be out. What are you doing here? Sasha. What are you —

[ Exhales heavily ] I was so worried about you. Until 10 minutes ago, I thought jason was dead. How the hell do you have a warrant to search my house? We petitioned a federal judge. Based on your long association with the fugitive in question, we had reason to believe that jason would come here. And we had reason to believe that you would aid and abet him. Okay, well, you can show your warrant to my lawyer when she gets here. Until then, wait outside.


Oh, good. You found my game piece. It’s not a game piece. It’s from a vape pen. But you know that already. I swear it’s not what it looks like. Okay.

[ Sighs ] It’s — it’s not mine. Alright. Whose is it? Someone from school. And you have it because…? Because… I was — I was freaked out, you know? I mean, I took it from this person who was using it a lot, and, you know, I know it’s not — it’s not good for him. Right, jake. You know, we’re still learning about all the negative long-term effects. You know, vapes were originally designed to help people stop smoking, but now they’re being marketed to kids, and they’re highly addictive. How’d your friend react when you took it from him? He was not happy. Yeah, I bet. What makes you think he’s a friend? Well, if you didn’t care, you wouldn’t be worried, right? You must be really worried about dante. Me and scout and rocco are staying at the quartermaines’ so my mom could be with dante. Scout and rocco are asleep, so I snuck out and caught a ride share. I just wanted to check on dante. I totally get where you’re coming from. And your mom is doing the best she can in an extremely difficult situation. So let’s go talk to her, okay? She’ll be mad. No, she won’T. Trust me. Dante’s family is an agony waiting for him to wake up. And I’m worried, too. I like dante a lot. He’s a really decent guy, and I hate that this happened to him. That all goes without saying. I just wish… what is it, tj? Dante is kristina’s brother

and brother-in-law. He is an important to her on multiple levels, so of course she came to the hospital to see if he’s okay and to be with the family. Okay, you need to stop qualifying and tell me what’s going on. Judgment-free zone. Remember? What I’m about to say, you cannot repeat to molly. I won’T. Kristina’s our surrogate and egg donor. And on one hand, that is awesome. Molly’s gonna have a biological tie to our child, another davis boy or girl in the making. But on the other hand? It’s not clean, like getting the donor egg from someone you’ll never know or you’ll never meet. This is really, really close to home. Alright, but there’s something else. I can tell. Guess who else our child is going to be biologically tied to. Sonny corinthos. I’ve been trying to reach you ever since I heard about dante. I’ve been calling, texting. I even left a voicemail. That’s major. Right. Well, I-I mean, I’m sorry I didn’t call you back. My phone must have been on “do not disturb” or something — no. Don’t apologize. Don’t apologize. No, it’s — I’m just concerned. One of your oldest friends is in the hospital. Yeah. Yeah, sasha. He might not make it. Oh, cody. Why did you not call me? You knew I would have been here in a heartbeat. Yeah, that’s — I mean, that’s why I didn’T. He’s still unconscious. But stable? For now. I’ll take stable. Stable’s good. Danny, what are you doing here? Does drew known you’re here? I came by myself. You — does he know that you left? So you snuck out again. Sam. He’s worried about dante. Nobody’s telling us anything. I wanted to see how he’s doing. Thank you. Yeah. Of course. And know that dante’s in my prayers. We appreciate that. Good night, elizabeth. Good night. I am sorry you feel out of the loop. It’s just that we really don’t know anything right now. I’m touched that you came. I know dante will be touched that you came. But if you go home and just wait, come back tomorrow, you can sit with him then. Sonny: You know what? I’m gonna arrange for a car — no. I’m not leaving. Danny. I’m sorry. No, thank you. So, you want to stay here? Yes. So would it be alright if danny stayed with me here? And I will take him home. ‘Cause I could use the company. I don’t think you understand how a warrant works — okay, look, it’s obvious that jason is here. It’s equally obvious that you would swallow ground glass in order to give him a five-minute head start. So, you either get out of our way or you get arrested. It’s your choice at this point. Search. You’re not gonna find jason because he was never here. Alright, thanks for your cooperation. Don’t — stay here, out of the way. God. I’ll take the stairs. Just keep out of our way.


I don’t want my friend to get in any trouble, but I don’t know how else to make him stop. That’s a tough situation to be in.

[ Sighs ] God. Maybe taking the vape was stupid. How so? ‘Cause now he’s mad at me and you know he’s just gonna get his hands on another one. Hey, look, jake, you can’t change someone else’s behavior, right? I think all you can do and what it seems like you’ve done already is you can tell your friend you don’t like this thing, alright? And you’re concerned about him when he uses it. Not that he cared… yeah, you know, it may seem that way. And maybe — maybe it’s true. Maybe he doesn’t care. But I guarantee he’s gonna remember what you said to him. Alright? And who knows what happens in time?

[ Sighs ] Listen, if you ever want to talk about this some more, I’m — I’m around. You’re gonna tell mom, aren’t you?

[ Chuckles ] Well, I think your mom probably needs to know, but I think it’d probably be better coming from you.

[ Door opens ] Hi. I’m home. Hi. I’m sorry I’m late, you guys. I was really rushing to get out of there and then we ended up having this minor issue and I’m just —

[ Sighs ] Is everything okay? You, uh, didn’t want me to come. What? No. No. No, of course I wanted you to come. It’s just, you know, we — we just started talking about… hanging out on purpose and — right. Yeah. I — I kind of thought that maybe it would be, you know, coffee or… a movie or a dinner, if I was lucky, not, you know, hanging out, spending the night in the hospital in plastic chairs with fluorescent lighting. I happen to love fluorescent lighting. Right. Sure. I am really looking forward to whatever comes next. But today we are friends and I care about you. Back at you. And that means that whenever you need me, I am always gonna be there. Got it? Yeah. So, next time things hit the fan, who are you gonna call? Ghostbusters. That was a dumb joke. Sorry. I apologize for that. Uh, no, I’ll call you. Thanks a lot, sasha, for coming. Always. Tj: In one night, sonny was the target of an ambush. Apparently, there’s a hole in his coat where the bullet almost hit him, and dante was shot twice and is fighting for his life. And a few weeks ago, sonny was shot at in puerto rico, which kristina told molly in confidence. Maybe I’m not supposed to know, so please don’t — don’t say anything. Understood. My point is, this is exactly what I feared. Have you told molly any of this? That I’m afraid of her sister being our egg donor because her family is a dysfunctional mess and frequently in physical danger? Well, maybe not in those exact words. Mom, what am i supposed to say? I agreed to it. Molly knew you had reservations at the beginning. Sure. So did she. It took a lot of soul searching for us to get to a place to where we chose kristina, but we did choose her. And once we did, molly was all-in. But you don’t feel the same way. I’m trying. But I look at dante in that hospital bed, and I’m like, “is this our life now?” Our child is born, someone else gets shot at, and we’re just — we’re — we’re holding our breath until they pull through. I don’t want that. I don’t want that for myself. I don’t want that for my child. Is that so selfish? No. No, tj, it’s human. If I stay, I could at least tell rocco I was here for a little while. I think it might make him feel better. Okay, I’m gonna call drew and — and let him know that you’re here. I’ll handle that. You just stay close to dante. How would you like a snack from the vending machine? Sure. Huh? Thanks, mom. Alexis: You’re welcome, honey. Sonny, I am — I am really sorry he spoke to you like that. No, you don’t have to apologize. Everybody’s on edge. I know what that’s about. You want to sit down? Yeah. You know, I keep thinking, “why?” Why did dante have to go after that guy? Because it’s his job. Yeah, but can’t he do his job and play it safe at the same time? And risk letting something happen to you? No. Dante would never. It’s just not who he is. I just feel like, for just tonight, I wish that wasn’t true.

[ Groans ] You know, I used to make that same wish. Not anymore? No. I’ve come to a place of peace and acceptance where dante’s job is concerned. But there will be no peace and acceptance for the person who did this to him. And I need you to make sure of that. The police commissioner are here, and so are the fbi. They have a warrant, and they’re searching the house for jason. They’re telling me he’s alive, and I don’t know how to fight them, diane. So I need you to call me back as soon as possible and find a way to stop them. No sign of him. You? Nothing. Doesn’t mean anything, though, because jason knows this house as if it was his own. He put in the security system. He could easily get in and out without a trace, especially with carly helping him, which clearly she is. So we missed him here. Where would he go next? Carly? Carly. Where are your cars? Am I required to answer that? Is that part of the warrant? Alright, you know what? We can take you down the station, and your attorney and the ada — they can figure it all out. Or you could just answer me! I have — I have two cars, and they’re both in the garage, an suv and a convertible. And there’s a space there for josslyn’s car, but she has it at school. I don’t have a gardener’s truck or anything like that that I could have given jason because he wasn’t here. Alright, alright.

[ Chuckles ] Alright, so we can assume that he’s on foot and he’s injured. Wait. Jason’s hurt? I thought you didn’t believe he was alive. What happened to jason? We believe he attempted to murder your ex-husband, sonny corinthos. He fled the scene, pursued by police, and shot detective dante falconeri twice in the chest. That’s insane. Murder sonny? Jason would never shoot dante. You know this, anna! Well, the evidence suggests otherwise. We’re out on shoreline. Where would he go from here? I think I know one place. Come on. I’ll tell you on the way.


I know more than anyone how you’re feeling. We just can’t jump to conclusions. What other conclusion is there? Dante was shot. And he might not make it. Don’t say that, sam. No, it’s the truth, sonny. I may look all calm and collected right now, but I am losing my mind waiting for your son to wake up. And I couldn’t say this in front of my mom or my son, but I need to know that there will be payback that this monster won’t get away with what he did. Do you understand what I’m asking you to do? Yeah, I understand. Thank you. I’m gonna go sit with dante. You need company? No, I think I need a minute alone. Okay. I’m here if you need me.

[ Sighs ] Go ahead. Finn found this. Hear him out. Does this belong to you? I took it from a friend because I was worried. And you kept it? I was going to throw it away, but then I got scared that, you know, you’d see it and think it was mine, so…

[ Sighs ] Okay. I trust you. I’m sorry you’re worried about your friend. Sounds like he’s lucky to have you. I, uh — I talked to finn about it a little, and he gave me some good advice. Oh. Well, then I guess we’re lucky to have you.

[ Chuckles ] I — I hate that we’re seeing more and more kids with these things. This is a much bigger conversation. Can we revisit this in the morning? Okay. Okay. Hey, uh… thanks, man. Yeah. I’ll see you around, jake. Oh, my god. I’m so relieved it’s not his. That was some serious composure right there. Wow! On the outside. Only on the outside. Inside I was panicking. But then you seemed so calm.

[ Stammers ] That’s ’cause I’m not the parent. Which begs the question — did I just overstep with your son? When you say you’re out of gas… my tank is on E. Right now? Mm-hmm. In the precise moment that we need the car to move? Yes. So, in essence, the worst possible time? Excuse me. How am I supposed to know sonny’s safe houses are so far apart? Yeah, fair enough, but in terms of your fuel level, did you not notice it was running low? They always say there’s more gas in there than you think there is. Who’s “they”?! A lot has been going on. I have been very distracted. I should have paid more attention. No, it’s — it’s okay. No, no, it’s not. I let you down. No, you could never. Maybe there’s a gas station around here somewhere. Unfortunately, there’s nothing for miles. Maybe that’s why jason likes hiding out around here. You know, if I could just understand what the footage meant. What was jason trying to accomplish? The police are gonna figure it out. But the police aren’t interested in those questions. As far as they’re concerned, he’s just a suspect on the run. And if they find him… they’ll treat him as such. Why’d you want to meet me up here?

[ Sighs ] ‘Cause something happened and I wanted to be alone when I told you. You saw jason, didn’t you? He was in my house. Is he still there? No. The police showed up. How did you know he was alive? I saw footage of jason on the roof of selina wu’s warehouse. Him and some other guy were trying to kill me. Federal agents. Hands where I can see them.


No, you didn’t overstep. Are you sure? You’re really sure? I’m grateful jake feels like he can talk to you. Well, to be fair, I did catch him red-handed. It’s not like he sought me out. Yeah, but when you confronted him, he actually stayed,

and he admitted to you giving him good advice. Oh, I guess that’s high praise from a teenager. The highest.

[ Chuckles ] He’s warming up to you in a way he didn’t before. And I don’t know if it’s because he’s more mature or he sees how happy we are. But I really like that he’s inching his way closer to you. I like it, too. So, what about me? What about you? Well, if there was an issue with violet, would you mind me stepping in, not just as her aunt, but as A… parent? Parent-adjacent, let’s call it. Okay. Okay. Um… well, now, you already have three kids of your own. Are you sure you even want that responsibility? I love her. For more than a million reasons. Plus, she brings a little girl energy into my life. Girl energy. Violet is nothing if not that. Our families are meshing, finn. Mm. In a very fun and healthy way. Cam did add me to his premier league group chat. See?

[ Laughs ] And, uh… well, aiden did say he was happy to offer me any baking advice as long as I returned the favor. What does aiden need advice on? Ah, somebody he likes. Their name is tobias. All the things you pointed out were true, but there are other truths, too, really wonderful, beautiful ones. Kristina is having your baby. Yeah. They’re both healthy. The pregnancy is going well, right? The baby’s developing beautifully. A gift kristina is giving to you out of love for her sister. And, I mean, come on. Who’s more motivated than her to make sure everything works out okay? I hate hospitals. Me too. I hate waiting even more, but unfortunately that’s what we’re gonna have to endure. Beats being at home. This way, if something happens, we’re close. Wait. That sounds dumb, doesn’t it? Why? It’s not like there’s anything we can do to help him. You know what? A long time ago, I was in the exact same circumstance you’re in right now. Your mom was hurt and I was desperate to do something to try to fix it and all I could do was wait for the doctors to fix it. And they did. And they did. And I think that’s what’s gonna happen for dante. Why aren’t you waiting with dante’s family? ‘Cause I’m not family. I don’t want to intrude. Do they even know you’re here? I don’T… cody! You are dante’s oldest friend. I am sure they would welcome your support. They — they have each other. And who do you have? Well, you know, that’s — that’s just it, sash. Like, pretty much most of my life, it’s just been me, so I’ve gotten good at taking care of myself. So that’s just the way it is, huh? Pretty much. Well, I think it’s about time that you learned a new way. You know jason wasn’t trying to shoot you. No, I don’t know, carly. What are you talking about? This is jason! He’s risked his life for you so many times. Why would he try and kill you? I don’t know. I don’t know where he’s been the last two and a half years. I don’t know why he showed up tonight. All I know is he was on a roof with a guy trying to kill me. And I also know that when he left the roof, dante went after him. Don’t do anything stupid. Anna: Jason! Jason — oh, god. I don’t know what’s going on, but you can’t keep running. Just let me take you into custody, and then we can sort this all out. Please. Come on. No! Jason!

[ Water splashes ] Jason! He’s gone. Son of a bitch!


Aiden told you about tobias? Yeah. Came up when he was helping me with one of my burnt brownie situations. Wait. Please tell me you knew because aiden already told you. Yes. Yeah. No, no. Yeah. Yes. Oh, my… he confided in me over christmas. Whew. But he said he wasn’t ready yet to tell anyone else. Oh, well, I guess he is now. Or ready to tell me, at least. Brownie bonding’s a real thing. Yeah, apparently.

[ Both chuckle ] Anyway, no big deal, right? What, that aiden’s gay? No. But the fact that he felt comfortable enough to tell you… I think my heart just exploded. Well, we can’t have that. That heart’s very important to me. I think what it all boils down to — do you trust kristina to do what’s in the baby’s best interest? Yes. Then, in my opinion, the good outweighs the bad. You can’t control everything. Why not? Wouldn’t it be nice if we could?

[ Sighs ] All you can do is hope and believe that the outcome will be positive. Otherwise, you’ll be paralyzed. That’s exactly how I feel when the anxiety creeps in. It’s like I’m frozen. Yeah. And I don’t blame you one bit. You’re still dealing with the trauma of the last surrogate’s miscarriage. This is scary. And things don’t always go as planned. I really need this to go as planned. I know. In a perfect world, every pregnant woman would be sitting in a garden with their feet up, surrounded by beauty and calm, ingesting the perfect combination of nutrients. Exactly. But that’s not reality for most people. It certainly wasn’t for me. And guess what. I survived. And so did you. We did, didn’t we? All by way of saying, the odds are actually in your favor. Are you having second thoughts? About what? Letting jason go to jail instead of me. No. It’s okay if you are. No, maxie, I would do anything for you. You know that. And being here with you right now is the only place I want to be. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with an empty gas tank. Yes. So, no, I don’t have any second thoughts. But that doesn’t mean I don’t feel guilty. The fbi now knows who they’re looking for, and that is “on me,” as they say. No, spinelli, you were backed into a corner. You know I love him, but jason is the one who decided to let his face be seen. So whatever happens next, it’s on him, not on you. Whatever happens next. Any guesses what that’s gonna be? Well, I do know that jason won’t give up without a fight. So neither will we. Would it horrify you if I said that I thought we were a little bit alike? Why would that horrify me? Because I’m comparing a teenage boy to his grandma. You’re the coolest grandma I know. Aww! You know, I think that when you and I see an injustice, we want to do what we can to make it right. Right? That’s why I think you should go back to the quartermaines’ — because scout is a night owl and she’s gonna need you when she wakes up. And that’s a good thing that you can do tonight. It may not make it right, but it’ll make it better. Yeah. Let’s go. Jason didn’t shoot dante. Did he tell you that? No. No, we — we didn’t talk about dante. We didn’t have time to talk about much at all. What’d he say? He said my name. I walked in the house and I was going up the stairs and he said my name. And I turned around and he was standing there and I thought I was hallucinating, but I wasn’T. He was right there. What happened next?

[ Scoffs ] I hugged him, sonny. I realized he was shot, and I went to get him a first aid kit. Did he tell you who shot him? No. Okay. It could have been dante shot jason by mistake, not knowing it was jason, and jason shot back at him, shooting to kill. You don’t know that any of that’s true! No, what i do know is that my son is in a hospital bed with two bullets in his chest. And jason is an expert shot who never misses.

[ Sighs ] I want search teams, both sides of the river, from here to the lake. You find him and you bring him back. Go. Thank you. Why come here? Oh, jason built this bridge. What? Yeah. Don’t you remember? This used to be an ornamental bridge, like the pont neuf in paris. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Kids used to dare each other to come out here. You know, after stone died, jason and robin, they became close, and they used to meet out here. Robin told me that. Anyway, the bridge was unsafe, and eventually the city tore it down. I guess maybe 10, 15 years ago, jason donated money and they rebuilt it on the same spot. Seems like an odd time to check out his public works project. Well, having spent a lot of time out here, I’m assuming that there is a structure, somewhere where he could hide and regroup that’s nearby, and that’s why he headed here. Well, now he’s in the river.

[ Sighs ] And probably dead.


[ Sighs ] I should get going. No. Stay. Early morning surgery. Mnh. Right.

[ Sighs ] Well, thank you for coming over. And I’m sorry I was late. I’m not. Oh, thanks. No, no, not because I didn’t get to spend more time with you, but because I got to spend some time with jake. He’s a — he’s a really good kid. I know he is. You know, you have a lot to do with that.

[ Chuckles ] This parenthood thing — it is not for the faint of heart. We’re doing okay, aren’t we? It’s a lot easier now that I have you.

[ Sighs ] Goodnight, elizabeth. Night.

[ Door closes ] If I haven’t said so, I really appreciate your willingness to work with me, despite my subterfuge vis–vis moving in with you. You don’t have to keep bringing that up, you know. Yes, I was hurt and angry that you lied, but your heart was in the right place. With you. My heart is and always has been with you. Why are you the sweetest? I don’t know.

[ Laughs ] So, all’s well that ends well? Yeah. So, when can you move out? I don’t care how uncomfortable it makes you. A lot of people in this town care about you. I’m one of them. Noted. So no toughing it out alone, okay? If you insist. I do. Okay. Uh, should I get us some coffee? It’s probably gonna be a long night. Yeah. Uh, cream, no sugar. No sugar. Yeah. You know my coffee order? I pay attention. You are kind, compassionate, incredibly gifted. I tell anyone who will listen about my son the doctor. I love you, tj. I love you, too. And I cannot wait to meet my grandchild and see what kind of dad you’re gonna be. Let’S… let’s hope a good one? I have no doubt.

[ Door closes ]

[ Monitor beeping ] Hey. I didn’t mean to pull you away from dante, but there’s something you should know. What’s up? We were able to get an id of the guy on the roof. You mean someone who was involved with dante’s shooting? Who? It’s jason. He’s alive. Oh, jason. Wherever you are, please be okay. Isn’t that one of the first rules of police work? Never assume anything? You think jason survived the fall? I think that’s why he jumped. He thought he could survive the fall. He’d rather take his chances with the river than be taken into custody. Makes sense.

If he put two bullets into dante falconeri, better to jump than be charged with killing a cop.

[ Upbeat music ]

Steffy: Hey, finn, it’s okay. It’s okay. You had a dream. You had a really bad dream.

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: You’re safe now, okay? You’re safe.

Finn: It’s just– I don’t– I… I just– I saw her die, steffy, and it– it– it felt very, very real. Um, just the– the– the blood and the– the begging and I just– I can’t stop hearing sheila beg for my help.

Thomas: Hey, where’d you go?

Hope: Uh, trying to work, but honestly, I just– I just can’t shake this feeling. I’m– I’m really worried about steffy and finn’s marriage.

Rj: So, are you ready for this? First night swim?

Luna: Uh, yeah.

Rj: Good, good, ’cause, you know, the sharks, they’re usually more calm after dark, so… I’m joking. I’m joking. I’m trying to make you laugh. I’m kidding.

Luna: Okay, well, shark attack jokes aren’t exactly the best way to do that. But I love that about you.

Rj: What, all my poorly timed jokes?

Luna: No, um, you’re always looking out for me. You know, always trying to make me laugh and stay positive. I really need that. More than you know. I’m just, um… I’m really lucky to have you.

Rj: Hey, I’m the one that’s lucky to have you. You’re– you’re this beautiful, honest, perfect woman.

Luna: Believe me, I feel the same way about you. I don’t ever want to lose you. Okay, so are we doing this? I mean, are you sure there’s no sharks out there?

Rj: No. I mean, well, there’s gonna be me. I mean, I’m gonna be circling you, making sure that you’re okay, of course. No, I think this will be good, you know? Just try to relax and clear your mind, and you know, maybe it’ll put things in perspective. Maybe you’ll realize things aren’t as bad as you think they are.

Carter: She’s impressive. I’m sorry.

Zende: Damn it, carter.

Carter: I didn’t mean to startle you, man. I’m sorry.

Zende: Yeah, all right. It’s okay. I was just…

Carter: Looking over the interns.

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: Luna.

Zende: Mm-hmm.

Carter: Yeah, I get it.

Zende: You do?

Carter: Yeah, and she’s talented. She’s lovely. She’s made a big impact here at forrester. Luna’s very special.

Rj: Wait ’til you see the moon reflecting off the water when you’re in it. It’s just… you’ll see. You’ll see. And hey, you know I don’t want to pry, but I’m always here to help, whatever you need.

Luna: It’s is one of the countless reasons why I love you.

Rj: All right, let’s do this.

Luna: Okay.

Rj: Come on, let’s go.

[ Luna groaning ]

Steffy: It kills me to see you in so much pain. You know, I didn’t– I didn’t want any of this, but it all happened so fast.

Finn: Hey, I know. I know, okay, and… and it’s just, you know, I can’t deny how I’m feeling, though. You know, and after– after everything that she’s done to us, I mean, none of this makes sense. That I feel this connection to sheila. God, and I’ve… if I’m feeling this way, I mean, I can’t imagine how you’re feeling. I’m worried about you. And to do… you know what? And I know you had to defend yourself and you had no choice, but… just, I can’t imagine the toll this has taken on you. The right age for

Carter: I have to say, luna is definitely the standout. If she continues to work hard here. She’ll have a very bright future.

Zende: From intern to fashion mogul.

Carter: Hey, it worked for you, didn’t it?

Zende: Yeah.

Carter: Remember when you were here interning, running coffee and files up and down these halls?

Zende: Good times.

Carter: For you, maybe. You can’t make a cup of coffee to save your life.

Zende: Hey, I was a bit distracted, okay?

Carter: How could you not be? Surrounded by all this creativity. You were born to design, zende. And you were impressive then, just like you are now.

Zende: Thanks, man.

Carter: It’s a gift. I’m good at seeing potential in people. And I have to say, luna is just as, if not more impressive than you were.

Zende: I am well aware of how special luna is.

Carter: And you’re not the only one. I don’t think anyone’s more impressed with luna than rj. Dude’s whole face lights up whenever she walks in the room.

Zende: Hm.

Rj: Okay, come on. Let’s just warm up quick now that we’re back in here. Here.

Luna: Thank you.

Rj: Of course. You got it. There you go. So, was it worth it? It was worth it, right?

Luna: Hmm, yeah. It was pretty incredible. Do you do that often? Go on night swims?

Rj: Yeah, when I can. I think it’s a, I don’t know, it’s a nice way to let the world slip away. You agree?

Luna: Uh, it was pretty scary, to be honest. I mean, it was so dark out, I couldn’t see anything.

Rj: At least you had me, though, right? I’ll always be here to take care of you. Make you secure and happy.

Thomas: I’m trying to stay strong for my sister. To stay positive. I just– I hate that she’s going through this.

Hope: Me too. At least there’s one good thing that came out of it. Sheila’s dead.

Steffy: I hated sheila. I hated her with every ounce of my being, and I just wanted her to leave us alone. And I can see that you’re suffering, but I don’t want this to come between us.

Finn: Me neither. Look, and I know your family thinks that you killed an animal, but–

Steffy: But she’s your birth mother.

Finn: I know, but as much as I’m struggling, I know you are too. And I can see it.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m dealing with my own demons. And what I did. I mean, I even told sheila that I– I wanted her dead. And I thought about it. A lot. I actually just never thought I… I never wanted to take a life. I never…

[ Steffy sobs ] God.

Zende: You know, rj isn’t the only one who thinks so highly of luna. She’s awesome. She’s so smart and talented and obviously very beautiful.

Carter: You two have gotten pretty close, huh?

Zende: Why do you say that?

Carter: It’s the way you’re going on about her.

Zende: Man, I’m just agreeing with you. And rj. Pretty much everyone who’s ever met her.

Carter: Okay, well, with the way things are going, I’m pretty sure you’ll work with her more often. Get to know her even better.

Zende: I’d like that a lot.

Luna: Do you really mean it?

Rj: What?

Luna: When you say that you’ll always take care of me?

Rj: Of course. Absolutely. I mean, you changed my life. Really, you did. I just– I want to make sure that you always feel secure and loved.

Luna: I wish we were never apart.

Thomas: Look, I don’t care what finn’s feeling right now or what he’s mourning. Look, sheila has devastated our family and terrorized our families for years, right? Your mother, too. Sheila was evil. She deserved a lot worse than she got. And I don’t have the sympathy for finn that you have. Steffy is freaking out right now. And she needs her husband to be there. And for some reason, her husband is mourning the loss of the woman who tried to kill her.

Hope: Finn just needs more time.

Thomas: He doesn’t have any more time. I don’t care what he feels like he needs to get through or get over or whatever. Like, he needs to get over it now and be there for steffy.

Steffy: Now, I know you don’t want to hear this.

Finn: Well, yeah, I do.

Steffy: But if I open up to you, are you gonna just run out again?

Finn: No, I’m not gonna run out. Hey. Talk to me.

Steffy: It’s just when I think about sheila, everything that she’s done to us, my mother, how she’s tormented my family? I thought about it a lot. Like, what I would have to do to protect myself. What I would do to protect our children. And I knew exactly what to do. But when sheila lunged at me and I felt my knife go into her, I didn’t– I didn’t feel rage or relief. I felt anguish. And that haunts me. The way I look at– look at my hands. I look over there and all I see is just blood. Like, I took a life. Yes, it was self-defense, but I… I killed someone. And I don’t know if I’m– if I’m ever gonna feel normal again and that really worries me. Or if you’re ever gonna look at me the same way again. The company goes to the first born audrey. The model train set is entrusted to todd. Mr. Marbles will receive recurring deliveries for all of his needs in perpetuity, thanks to autoship from chewY. I always loved that old maN. What’s it say about the summer house? Yeah, the beach housE. The summer residents goes to mr. Marbles. Plot twist. I’m sorry, what? Doesn’t make logistical sense? Unbelievable. Pets aren’t just pets. They’re more. You got a train set todd. Save 35% off your first autoship order. At chewy. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Zende: Hello, luna.

Luna: Hi.

Zende: You’re here.

Luna: It feels so good being in your arms.

Rj: I could do this all night. Actually, I was wondering if you’d like to stay over?

Luna: I was hoping you’d ask.

Rj: Yeah?

Rj: I love being with you. I really do feel like I get to just be myself around you. And– and you know, plus, you– you find all my corny jokes really sexy, so…

Luna: Um, no. I find them pretty corny. But I do think you’re sexy. I mean it though, rj. I never wanna be away from you. I mean, you’re so kind and sweet, caring. I’ve never met someone more honest and loyal.

Rj: I’ve never met anyone more honest and loyal than you.

Luna: I never thought that I’d meet someone like you. Someone so warm and genuine. Never doubt how much I love you.

Thomas: Now look, I don’t mean to be insensitive. But this is how I feel. Look, sheila was obsessed with my family. She shot both of our mothers and now she’s finally dead so we can all breathe.

Hope: You are not being insensitive. You’re being a protective brother. And that’s what I love about you. Look, I know this has been hard for all of us.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, it’s finally over. And I get that it is illogical and it may not make sense to us, but… the connection that finn feels to sheila is very real.

Thomas: What’s real is that finn has a family and a traumatized wife who needs him.

Hope: And finn needs steffy too right now. And that is what I am worried about. That all of this has compromised their ability to be there for one another. I mean, what if killing sheila has jeopardized steffy and finn’s marriage?

Finn: I hate that you’re suffering.

Steffy: I hate that you’re suffering too. What are you thinking?

Finn: I want to be there for you. I do. But, you know, hearing you talk about taking sheila’s life and you know, knowing that it happened here, in this– in this room, in our house, it’s just… I don’t know, it’s a lot. It’s a lot and it just makes– it makes– makes me feel like I could have another panic attack, like this house is haunted and it’s just– it’s– I hate feeling this way. Because I– I love you. Honey, I love you and the kids. You, you are my life. This house. This is– this is our house. And I hate feeling like I need to leave because of what happened here.

Steffy: No, I don’t– I don’t want you to leave either. I can’t even tell you how much I love you. I need you. I– I can’t even imagine going through this without you. I need my husband, finn. I need you. I need you.

Finn: Okay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

There you are. Hey, how are you holding up?

Mom, I’m losing it, I swear. I’m barely holding on. I know. Your dad said that he spoke to Nicole. Yeah, he told me too. I was so pumped when I heard that Holly was out of her coma, but she doesn’t even remember anything from that night. Nothing. I know it’s a blow. But we are not giving up. We are going to clear your name.

God, I was so sure she was going to tell the truth, too. That I didn’t give her those drugs, that I tried to tell her not to take them. I know. But your family believes you. Well, I hope that does me now. Still stuck in here with no way out. What are we gonna do, Mom?

Hey! Welcome back. Thanks. Hey. It’s, uh, it’s good to be back. Yeah. How’s Molly? Oh, here, come on in. Yeah. Um, well, she’s very excited for your visit. Yeah. Um, she is a little upset, though. That she can’t remember anything about New Year’s Eve. So, but she is on the mend and she’s getting stronger every hour. Wow, that’s fantastic.

And how was it for you? I mean, being in Italy, were you able to get out at all? Oh, um, you know, very little. I was back and forth to the hospital and my hotel room, so. Yeah. How’s the photography business? It’s good. Great. I’m picking up, but you know what? My main focus, it’s kind of, it’s been on parenthood.

Pretty great, isn’t it? Oh yeah, it’s pretty great. I’m really happy to see you. Likewise. Never fear, Nanny McStark is here. God, I’m gonna regret this, aren’t I? Would you prefer I leave? No, no, I’m desperate for a babysitter and my last resort. I’m touched. I went through every contact in my phone. Eric’s family, the neighbors, literally no one else was available.

Well, then how lucky for you that I was footloose and fancy free. And I came prepared. See, I’ve been reading up on child rearing, and they say that bright colors stimulate cognitive development. And did you know that babies prefer high pitched voices, elongated vowels, and over enunciation? Isn’t that right, baby?

Great. Well, looks like you got it covered. Uh, if he gets hungry, there’s formula in the fridge. I am going to meet a new client. She’ll be back in a couple of hours, hopefully before Eric gets home. If you have any concerns Don’t worry, Mommy. Okay, fine. But listen, don’t forget that like a fine wine or a park avenue escort, I don’t come cheap.

You’ve been draining me dry for weeks. Cheap is never a word I’d use to describe you. That is so sweet. Mommy is a hot mess.

So where’s Clyde’s cell again? Clyde’s cell is Right here. In the watchtowers. Or right here. And right here. Okay.

Angela, tell me you’ll make this happen. Tripp doesn’t have much time.

So I can count on you? Bene, bene grazie.

Yeah, I owe you big. Ava,

sorry the situation has put you in this position. Yeah, well, so much for vowing that I’ll never work with my family again. So they’re in? Yeah, it’s taken care of. Angelo and his team will do their part. What it cost you?

Extends through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Holly, honey, are you decent? Yeah, come in. Hey. Hello, sweetheart. Eric. Hey. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here. Me too. Just so happy to see you awake. I’m Yeah, so I’m pretty scared for a while. Yeah, I can’t believe I was out for two months. Yeah. It’s so freaky missing time like that. I bet. Yeah, I bet your mom says you’re on the mend.

You’re getting stronger all the time. Yes, she is. Sarah was here yesterday. She ran a few tests. So, our girl is on track and on her way back to normal. That’s great. Our little miracle.

What’s your plan? Theresa. Hi. And you must be Tate. I’m Sloane Peterson. Sloane has agreed to take over your case. What happened to Justin? Well, uh, as much as I’m grateful to Justin, he is knee deep right now in defending Xander Cook in attempted murder charges. So, he’ll help later, if he can. In the meantime, I’ve decided to go outside the Kiriakis family, and I want to bring you home, back to your family, where you belong, as soon as possible.

And, as your new lawyer, I’ll start by telling you, we plan to take a somewhat Novel. approach.

My family’s doing this as a one time favor. Okay, if it comes back to bite me, I’ll deal with it when the time comes. I’ve spent decades fielding demands from my family. I’m an expert at it. So let’s not get distracted. Ava called in her family because we need their help. They have the connections we need inside that prison.

That’s right. Whatever it takes, Tripp and Wendy have to be saved. Okay. Right. Okay. So, let’s just drop the topic of Angelo and his team. They’re handled. And they’re only one part of the plan. It’s up to us to take care of the rest.

Oh, here we go. Okay, um Let’s see.

Checklist for a crying baby. Step one is the child hungry. Why don’t we grab that bottle of formula mommy prepared for you, okay? Right back. Okay. Hmm. Now go, huh? All right. Okay. Step two, is the baby feverish? Uh oh. Uh oh.

98. 6, that’s perfect. Okay. Step three, does the baby have We knew this moment would come, didn’t we, soldier? Don’t you worry, I got this. And then

the cops said, I’ll take those. So I looked at my dad, he nodded for me to do it, and then I handed the drugs to her. That’s, um, that’s pretty much it. This is all very helpful, Tate. Can you remember anything else? Even some small detail you might have left out? Um, no. No, that’s everything.

Do you think you can help us, Miss Peterson? I do. But I think we should go over the challenges first. Uh, okay. Thing is, even though EJ’s case is mostly circumstantial, it doesn’t help that Tate delayed calling for help when he first found Holly unconscious, or that he initially lied to a police officer who later saw him with drugs in his hands.

But that was a mistake that he made in the heat of the moment. He was really scared and confused. He was just trying to help a girl that he has a big crush on. Shh. I understand that. The question is will the jury believe that if we go to trial?

So I have to check with the hospital about when your next exam is and schedule your physical therapy. So you two keep talking and I will be back. Okay. Do you know that I came and saw you every day at the hospital? You did? I did. I came by to pray for you. Until your mom decided to take you to, you know, Italy.

Did I look weird? No, you looked like you were sleeping. Oh. Um, uh, was there anyone else there? Of course, pretty much everyone at some point. Oh, I’ve, I’ve got a lot to catch up on. Yeah. Your mom said that you’re having trouble remembering what happened the night you overdosed. Yeah, it’s, it’s all just blank.

I don’t even remember passing out. Well, do you think that somebody slipped some drugs into your cup? Uh, um, I don’t, I don’t know. I mean, I guess that makes sense. Dancing. I didn’t watch my drink the whole time. Someone, some loser totally could have slipped something in there. I don’t know. You know, Holly, every time, um You got nervous when you were a kid.

You used to play with your hair. Oh, I didn’t spill the juice. I didn’t color on the walls. You used to be afraid to ever tell me the truth when you were nervous or thought you might get in trouble. That was a long time ago. Owie. What aren’t you telling me?

I’ve checked out the entire duct system here. It’s a go. You know, there’s also a service gate behind yard two. It’s rarely used, but it gives us less ground to cover if we can get Weston into position. Nice. Alright, where’s that list of supplies again? Here, here it is. Okay, we got uh, wire cutters, grinder, hacksaw, black tape, disguises, binoculars, cable ties.

Night vision goggles? Yeah, it’s right on here. Everything’s in order. Alright, Steven, I will handle the transportation within your field. And, uh, Angelo will have a plane prepared for immediate flight at the designated airstrip. Anything else? I think we’re ready to go. Right? Tonight we break into prison.

Okay, okay. Ah, see? That wasn’t so bad, was it? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. That has always been my motto. Well, that and, if at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving is not for you. Okay, well, now that we’re changed and settled and looking very adorable, I might add, how about, oh, how about I rock you to sleep?

You ready for a little shut eye, huh? Okay. Uh, well I don’t see a rocking chair, so how about I walk you to sleep? And I could tell you a story. Would you like that? Okay, I take that little wrinkled nose as a yes. Um, so it was a dark and stormy night. No, you’re right, that’s too scary. Why don’t we go a different route?

Once upon a time, a very handsome little prince was born along the side of the road. And he was delivered by his very godfather, none other than yours truly. And for the briefest of moments, his mother got to hold him very lovingly in her arms. And then, a tall, handsome German god swooped in and took him away, bound for the hospital.

Or so we thought. Instead, they were waylaid by an evil, nasty, bottle blonde, wicked witch. Okay, that’s not fair. We don’t know for sure that she’s a bottle blonde.

How does the story end, you ask?

I don’t know.

But so far it’s not looking good.

But the little prince,

He is always going to be protected from poison apples. Because that’s my job. Okay. What? What

is that? Are you smiling at me?

Well, that warms my heart.

Yeah, that really warms my heart.

Eric, New Year’s Eve, that night,

It’s all just a blur. I really wish I could remember what happened.

Um, hey, how’s Jude doing? I’m sure he’s a lot bigger since Christmas. Yeah, yeah he is. He’s actually holding his head up. And he’s sleeping through the night while we waste most of the time. Got any new pictures? Of course I do. I just shot these the other day when he was having a little tummy time. Oh my gosh, he’s so cute.

Yeah. Look at those little cheeks. Yeah. Oh, he’s adorable. Oh, oh, oh, oh my goodness, he’s so precious. Definitely a keeper. Yes, he is. Wait till you see him at the christening. When is it? Will I be well enough? Well, we held off until you were both back in Salem and you were awake. Oh my gosh. Your mom said she wanted you both to be there.

Well, that was thoughtful. Well, Holly, I mean, if your doctors say it’s fine, then yes, of course you can come if you’re feeling up for it. Oh, I’ll be more than up for it. Oh. I can’t wait. Well, like I said, I haven’t made an official date yet, but it’s going to be a small family gathering at St. Luke’s, and then we’re going to have the reception at Brady’s Pub.

Oh. Yeah. You know, I have an idea. What if we have the reception here? I would love to host it. Oh, thanks for the offer, but it’s too much to ask. Well, you, you didn’t ask. And, um, hello? Are you kidding? I would love to do it for you. Especially since you saved the date for us. Really, the, the pub is fine. To be honest, I just don’t think someone would be on board.

Are you sure? I mean, look, you’re both parenting and working full time. It would be a huge load off of her and you if someone else planned it, right? And besides, closing the pub would take away business for Roman, so She’s right. I am. It’d be really cool if you had it here, Eric. It would. And look, Holly’s still recovering, so it’d be better if it were here.

And then she’s not running from the church to the pub and the, you know, the whole thing. Of course, it is totally up to you, but I would really love to do this for you. And, you know, maybe it’ll help make things right between Sloane and me.

Okay. It’s a great offer. Thank you. I’ll let Sloane know. Wait, do you think we’re gonna have to go to trial? No, no, that can’t be. This is not gonna go to trial, right Sloane? Well, that’s my hope. Um, but as we all know, EJ is DA. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve taken him on many times before, and beaten him, and negotiated some kick ass plea deals.

But, this case is personal to him. But my dad said that Holly’s awake now, we just need to get her to tell the truth. But, you said that she doesn’t remember the truth. The bottom line is, it’s going to be very hard to prove your innocence unless, She admits the drugs were hers. If we go to trial, I’ll depose her, of course, and try to get the truth out of her.

Yes, that’s good. Let’s go after her. Go after her? Mom, she’s my friend. Really? Would a friend let you go down for a crime that you didn’t commit? I’m gonna pursue every angle I can, but I do think we should consider another option. What might that be? Going to trial is a long, arduous process with no guarantee of the outcome.

I could arrange a plea deal and you would get a light sentence tape or possibly even time served. Before you know it, you’d be free to go home. No, that’s BS. I don’t want a plea deal or a light sentence. I didn’t do anything wrong. I tried to stop Holly from taking those pills. I am totally innocent. Don’t you get that?

All right. We are out of here. I’ll pick up any other supplies we might need. And I’ll get the unmarked vehicle to transport Weston to the airport. Okay, great. And I’ll meet you both at the airfield. Right. Oh, John, remember, we have to stop by the office and pick up that special equipment. Oh, yeah, well, we might just need our old pal Rico’s basement again.

Oh, yeah. Wait, wait, a minute. Special equipment, basement. What are you two talking about? It’s just everything we need to interrogate Weston about Tripp and Wendy’s location. So we’re gonna make it look like we’re busting, busting out and getting into the airfield? Yeah, but in reality, that’s not gonna happen.

We’re not gonna let him go. Oh, like hell we’re not.

H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y M Z. Now I know my ABC’s. Uh! Next time won’t you rap with me? Check it! That’s impressive. Did you daddy’s home? Uh, you alone? Where’s my wife? She’s out with a client. So you’re babysitting? Word. Son didn’t tell me she called you. I would have known. I would have been here with him.

Well, if it’ll ease your mind, he has been fed, burped, changed, entertained, washed, rinsed, repeat. And check this. Peek a boo! Are you laughing at him? Or his outfit. Hey, now. No, no, I’m sorry. You just, you, you two seem to belong. Yeah. We’ve got a connection. I felt it ever since he came into my life. Quite a special little boy you’ve got.

Couldn’t agree more.

Okay, so I’m thinking of a cold buffet bar that way people can snack since they’ll be popping in and out. Yes, oh, and we should do those, um, those individual cakes too, you know, like the bite sized ones. Yes, with a little blue icing. Mom, that whole pink blue thing is so last century. Okay. And, hey, I will be in charge of music playlists.

Because if you do it, we’ll end up with a three hour Billy Joel medley or something. I had one Billy Joel CD growing up. You will not let me live that down. Besides, Piano Man was the most amazing song ever. All his songs were, actually. If you say so. I do say so. Oh gosh, it’s going to be so great to have a celebration here.

Since there’s been so much sadness lately. Yeah, there has. So Aren’t those pictures of Jude just adorable? Mom, try not to go there, okay?

I know, honey. It’s just that sometimes those feelings just come flooding back, thinking about your little brother and, and what happened to you. I’m here. I’m back now. Thank God. Because I don’t know what I would have done if I lost you, my precious girl. I don’t know what I would have done.

Okay, so I’m going to go make a call to get the ball rolling. Mom, I don’t get it. Why do I have to plead guilty when I’m innocent? Tate, it’s to get you out of this mess. It’s a tactic, okay, to get you home sooner. We don’t know if EJ’s gonna drag this out for the long haul. It’s, it’s a guarantee of a light sentence.

But Holly could come around. She could tell the truth when she remembers.

Honey, we don’t know if, if that’s gonna happen. And we can’t wait around for that possibility. So we just need to do whatever is best to make sure we can get you out of here. Does Holly even know where I am? Does she know that I was arrested and then beat up in jail and then shoved into a halfway house?

I don’t know. I don’t know, but I will find out for you. Yes? Can I talk to you for a second? Sure.

I’ll be meeting with the judge soon to file a formal complaint against EJ. Hopefully I can get him removed from the case due to bias and non objectivity. That would be great. It’s a long shot, but there’s a chance the judge will see it our way. EJ seems to have some really strong pull with the judges.

I’m aware. We’ll know soon enough how the complaint pans out, but in the meantime, I need Tate to stay mentally sharp and focused in case this goes to trial. You two think you’re gonna double cross Clyde Weston? Do you have any idea how insane that is? Steve, how could you even think of risking our son’s safety like this?

I’m doing it for his safety. Look, we’re taking all this risk to break that maniac out of prison. So what if he takes off and he doesn’t give us Tripp back? That is a risk I’m not willing to take. So we’re going to hold Clyde’s feet to the fire for as long as it takes until he coughs up Tripp and Wendy’s location.

That’s the only way this is going to work. You are out of your mind. Do you realize that? Look, Clyde may play the country bumpkin, but he is sharp as a tack and he knows what he is doing. Look at his track record since he has been in prison. A police detective has already been gunned down. He set the fire at the Horton House.

And he is scattering drugs all over this town with the force of a Texas tornado. We know what we’re dealing with, Ava. Oh, do you? Do you really? Yes, yes. Okay, well then you know that he’s already broken in here and he is watching us. You know, he could be listening to us right now. I swept the place for bugs when I first came in and it was clean.

And with our training, no one, you know. Is ever going to follow us to the rendezvous point. Okay, well that is not enough. Don’t you get it? Clyde Weston will find a way to royally screw us if we don’t do exactly what he wants. If we defy him in any way, he is going to seek revenge and it’s going to be tragic.

So I’m begging you, please, please, just let him go. Steve, it is the price we are gonna have to pay to save our son. Ava,

I know that Clyde’s been doing a number on you lately, and you’ve been on pins and needles for months. You’re not thinking clearly. Oh, screw you, Steve. I’m thinking just fine. Okay, all I mean is that you’ve been under pressure, okay? But we can’t let Clyde Weston go. I know. Especially not after everything he’s done to half the people in this town.

Steve’s right, Ava. Can’t let a career criminal like Weston go free. We had to alter the plan. Oh yeah, and with no surprise, you two are in cahoots behind my back. Okay, so now you know everything, all right? So we’re gonna do the plan exactly as it was laid out. But when we get to the airfield, we’re gonna make it clear to Weston that either he gives up Tripp and Wendy’s location, or the night is gonna end very badly for him.

Trust us. Weston is never going to know what even hit him. Oh, honey, I, I should be talking to my therapist about this. Not my beautiful daughter who’s recently been through enough as it is. Oh, it’s okay, mom. I know how hard it was for you to lose the baby. And then what happened to me? I mean, you’ve been through a lot too.

It definitely was a lot. Not just watching you lie there so still day after day. I just, I didn’t know if you were going to come back to us or if you would ever talk again or, or, or be yourself. God, and then I thought, what if you woke up and you didn’t remember anything? Like, with Eve. And Paulina, I mean, what if you, you didn’t remember all of our good times and, and the tea parties we had when you were a little girl and, and the forts we made with the couch cushions and looking for frogs on our nature walks.

I remember all of those things.

And then I’m very grateful for honey.

And I’m also grateful for all the support that I had because if it weren’t for EJ and, and Eric, I don’t know what I would have done.

I really did lean on that baby. Mom, you are so strong all on your own. Don’t forget that. You’re a survivor. Oh, me? Yes, so are you. I mean, look at you, my little fighter. Um, yeah. Well, I’d really like to not think about New Year’s Eve anymore and the party, what happened, or at least, you know, not talk about it as much.

Okay, Annie, I understand. So we will just, we will leave the past where it belongs, okay? And we’ll just focus on this baby bash, yeah?

This has been so hard on Tate. Emotionally. It’s been rough on the whole family, obviously. As for me, I um, I fell off the wagon. It was just a one time slip. And it was demoralizing. To say the least. Anyway, now I’m completely committed to my sobriety. And all I care about is just being there for my son. And I do not want this nightmare to permanently damage his psyche or mess up his future.

I get it. I, brother Colin is locked up in prison right now. Well, because of his thirst for revenge and unlike Tate, he was guilty, but. I still wish I could have saved him from the mistakes he made. Anyway, I can’t guarantee what the outcome will be for your son, but I promise I will do everything I can to help.

Thank you so much. I get the sense he’s a good kid. He is. Let’s do everything we can to take him home.

Okay. I’ll see you tomorrow. All right? I’m going to let you know what Sloan finds out from the judge. Okay. Hey. Hey, don’t be upset about Holly. Okay? You need to stay positive. You know how many people you have backing you in your corner? Don’t give up. Don’t worry. I will never give up. That’s my boy. Love you.

Love you.

You know, I was about 14 months when I started walking. My twin sister Sammy, she was a little bit more ahead of me. And, uh, she started running around the house and nobody could keep up with her. I’m pretty sure I skipped walking and went straight to running. Away from my mother in terror. You’re home! Hey!

Uh, Eric, I couldn’t find anyone to babysit. I, I just And you found Leo. Who’s been doing a wonderful job. You even got him to smile and laugh. That’s great! I think he remembers me. Well, since we’re both home, uh, Leo, you can head out. Um, I’ll just pay you. Oh, no, no, no. He can stick around if he wants. I mean, we don’t have any plans.

I’m sure he has plans. Nope. Free as a bird. Super. I’m gonna get a glass of wine. Oh, yes, please. Hey, honey, by the way, um, Nicole, well, she offered to host a little after party at the DiMera mansion. Yeah, it’s kind of her way of extending an old friendship. O M G, Nicole is just the sweetest. And the DiMera mansion, what a perfect venue.

Fine. We’ll do it your way. I just want my son back. And once he is home and he is safe. I don’t give a damn what happens to Clyde. We have everything we need to deal with him, Ava. I assure you. But first, we have got a prison to break into. I’m ready. Let’s move it. Okay. We’ll be in touch within the hour.

Alright, password should be my birthday. I want to think about changing that, mom. I’m in. What? Crap, I don’t know Holly’s number. I don’t know anyone’s number. Oh, she’s got a contact. Damn, she’s got a contact list. Um, So familiar. Okay, so we will do finger sandwiches, um, and pasta salad. Rolls. Rolls, yes, great idea.

And petite fours. Must haves. Oh, and hey, maybe we can do, like, little candle party favors with Jude’s name on them. Yes, that’s a great idea. Okay, I’ll let you look into that. I think Sloan and Eric are gonna love this. I can’t wait. Uh, so listen, I’m gonna go out and hunt down those petite fours, and then we’ll talk to Cook when I get back.

Do you need anything while I’m out? Okay, well, text me if you think of anything, okay?

Theresa Donovan? Why the heck is Tate’s mother sliding in my DMs? Sorry lady, no time for you. I’ve got a party to plan.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Are you coming from work?

Mariah: Yes, I got sucked in by some very exciting reports. And now, I am absolutely starving, so I thought the manager and I could, you know, sit down and have a snack. Unless that’s not going to work for some reason?

Tessa: Oh, no, no, no. Yeah, that’s totally fine. Uh, just give me a second.

Mariah: Okay. Something’s bugging you. What’s going on?

Ashley: How long do you intend to keep me waiting?

Tucker: What is this about?

Ashley: I’ll tell you when I see you. It’s too important to get into on the phone.

Tucker: Well, your text said urgent, but I don’t see what there could possibly be between us anymore that’s so important.

Ashley: Well, let me show you.

Tucker: Again, what is the point, ashley? It’s very late. I’m getting ready to go to paris.

Ashley: Without me?

Tucker: Yes, without you. With audra. But don’t worry, on your behalf, I will throw some chairs and break some glasses at our favorite bistro.

Ashley: That’s very funny. It’s also ancient history.

Tucker: Would you please stop? This is getting so old. So either wish me a bon voyage or hang up. Either way, this conversation is over.

Ashley: Trust me, when I talk to you face to face, you’re going to rethink paris. You’re going to rethink everything.

Nikki: I’m sorry I had to bother you so late.

Jack: No, it is never a bother, nikki.

Nikki: Well, I’m sure diane didn’t appreciate it.

Jack: Diane understands, and I am happy to be here, particularly as it seems you are here alone.

Nikki: Everybody else is in bed. I– I couldn’t sleep. My mind is swimming.

Jack: Okay, okay, well I’m–

Nikki: It’s been a rough night.

Jack: I’m glad you called me instead of going out for a drink. And thank god there is no alcohol left in this house. What?

[ Phone rings ]

Victor: Hello.

Jordan: Hello, victor. Is this a good time? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victor: Well now, I did expect your call. So, you told claire that you would reach out to me, right?

Jordan: How fortunate my niece was able to pass that along before that terrible fire at victoria’s house.

Victor: Well, you had a busy night, didn’t you?

Jordan: I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s been all over the news, I’ve just been reading about it. And apparently, from what I’ve read, there have been no– no injuries, no casualties. Is that true?

Victor: Let’s get back to claire, okay?

Jordan: Ah, claire. Yes. Why don’t you tell me, truthfully, where she’s residing now, and with whom?

Victor: Well, that will be her decision.

Jordan: How egalitarian of you. Quite a change.

Victor: So, claire gave you the message that I wanted to talk to you?

Jordan: And I don’t buy a word of it.

[ Victor laughs ]

Victor: Well, one thing I can assure you of, I’m a man of my word, you know?

Jordan: Oh, victor, please. It’s been decades. Do you really think that I believe, after what I have done to your family, that you are suddenly remorseful over what you did to my sister?

Victor: Well, no, it’s precisely because of what you have done to my family, all right? Obviously, I’m willing to make amends. Whatever you ask me to do, to put an end to this horrible story.

Jack: Did you have someone bring that to you?

Nikki: No. When victor had the house searched, they must have missed it.

Jack: Nikki–

Nikki: It’s full. The seal is unbroken. I didn’t have any. But I almost did.

Jack: Okay. You said it’s been a rough night.

Nikki: I don’t even know where to begin. With the house fire or my former sponsor’s murder.

Tucker: You got 10 minutes.

Ashley: I only need five.

Tucker: So, does this visit have anything to do with abby’s visit earlier?

Ashley: Abby was here?

Tucker: Mm-hmm.

Ashley: What did she want?

Tucker: She thinks I must be toying with you because of how you’ve been acting lately.

Ashley: How have i been acting?

Tucker: So civil. And admitting you were wrong about paris. Trying to persuade devon to give me another chance. Oh, yes. Seems you went a little too far with that one, didn’t you? Set off major alarm bells in abby’s head.

Ashley: Well, she doesn’t understand. I’m sure she thinks that you set me up to pleading your case, and we know that’s not what happened.

Tucker: Yeah, I told her that there’s a possibility you’re setting me up for something, but she wasn’t having that, so she has officially put me on notice. She’ll be watching me, making sure I don’t hurt you again.

Ashley: How sweet.

Tucker: Yeah.

Ashley: How unnecessary.

Tucker: Yeah. Warned me to stay the hell away.

Ashley: Don’t you worry about abby. She’s being overprotective, but she won’t bother you anymore.

Tucker: What she is is confused. And frankly, so am I, by all these bizarre 180s of yours. If anybody’s playing games here, it’s you.

Ashley: I understand you’re skeptical. And that’s why I’m here. I want you to know that I meant what I said. I want things to go back to the– the way they were between us. Because neither one of us has ever felt that way before, and we never will again. Not with anyone. The years that we’ve shared, I mean, all the obstacles that we’ve– we’ve gotten through, right? Our guards were up. Well, I’ve let mine down, and now it’s your turn.

Tucker: Ashley–

Ashley: And this plan that you have for glissade, tucker, it’s brilliant. I want to be a part of it. I want to be a part of every single aspect of your life, both personally and professionally.

Tucker: Um, you see, I don’t trust you anymore.

Ashley: We’re not good at trust. We’ve established that, but guess what? I think I’ve figured it out.

Tucker: Please–

Ashley: Listen to me, please. It takes honesty.

Tucker: No. You’re not listening to me. This is not going to happen.

Ashley: It’s not?

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Then, why did you invite me up to your suite? Anthony: This making you uncomfortable?

Tucker: I thought you might have something honest to say for once, but clearly you don’t, so I’ll just take the opportunity to tell you to your face that if you’re running some kind of scam here, it’s not going to work.

Ashley: There’s no scam. I have no ulterior motive. I’m after one thing, and you– you know what that is.

Tucker: Hey, stop! No. No. We’re not doing that. If you’re– if you’re setting me up for something, ashley, if you’re laying some kind of trap, I am never gonna fall into it, okay? I’m sorry if that messes with your plans.

Ashley: We love each other. It’s as simple as that, and we were on track to be outrageously happy. The world was ours for the taking. We got derailed.

Tucker: Stop.

Ashley: Listen, we can get back on track.

Tucker: Stop.

Ashley: I just need you to meet me ha–

Tucker: That’s enough! It’s not gonna work.

Tessa: Wow, I did not realize how hungry I was.

Mariah: Let me guess. You haven’t eaten in hours, right? Is that where you were on edge when I walked in?

Tessa: Um, actually… something happened… and I didn’t mention it because it upset me, and I knew it was gonna upset you, too.

Mariah: Okay. Well, I promise not to flip out, so just tell me.

Tessa: Well, you know how security at the ranch has been stepped up because of jordan being on the loose?

Mariah: Yeah.

Tessa: On my way out, one of the guards stopped me, thinking I was her. And I froze, and it freaked me out.

Mariah: What? No! They know you. They know us. How could this happen?

Tessa: Well, this guy was new, and once he figured it out, he was so apologetic. But you know what? It– it really freaked me out.

Mariah: Well, yeah, of course it would. That’s terrifying. And you know what? I don’t care if the guy is new. He should have been briefed better. I’m gonna talk to victor about this.

Tessa: Thank you.

[ Tessa sighs ] I mean, I know. This woman is a menace, and I am glad that there’s security, but it’s gotten to be a bit much.

Mariah: Yeah. Well, it’s been going on for weeks now, and everyone’s on edge.

Tessa: I’m worried that aria is picking up on it.

Mariah: I just hate that this is what passes for normal at the ranch.

Tessa: If this is the way it’s gonna be, maybe it’s time to move.

Jack: Wait, are you sure it was murder? Could it have been an– an accident or a suicide?

Nikki: I am sure. When we met for coffee, seth was very excited about his decision to go to rehab.

Jack: Could he have been covering for your benefit?

Nikki: No. He wasn’t depressed. He hadn’t had one drop of alcohol the whole day. He was not a man getting ready to fling himself in front of his speeding car.

Jack: So you think he was at this bar to confront jordan?

Nikki: I know that he was. Victor and I went there to the bar, and one of the officers said that seth was seen leaving with a woman. And then right after that, the same woman came back in and claimed that seth said, “tell nikki newman I’m sorry,” right before supposedly killing himself, which was a lie. She pushed him. She killed him to send me a message. Of course, she had disappeared by the time the police got there.

Jack: Oh, nikki, I am so sorry about all of this.

Nikki: If only I hadn’t asked him to string her along to help me, he’d still be alive.

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, don’t start thinking like that. This woman is a sociopath. This is not your fault.

Nikki: It’s only the half of it.

Jack: Wait, what do you mean?

Nikki: Jordan wasn’t done yet. Shortly after that, victoria got a phone call that her house was on fire.

Jack: What?

Nikki: She and victor raced over there, but the house couldn’t be saved.

Jack: Oh, my god. Poor victoria.

Nikki: And johnny and katie. Thank god, they’re at boarding school. Nobody was in the house, but their whole life is in there.

Jack: But no one was hurt.

Nikki: Yeah, I’m sure jordan will be disappointed to hear about that.

Jack: And I’m sure victor has his security team and the police on high alert. I mean, took– I had to go through several checkpoints to get in here.

Nikki: They can’t be everywhere all at once. And I am terrified for my family and how much I want to have a drink.

Jack: Okay, um, we could make a meeting if we left right now.

Nikki: Let’s go.

Jordan: I don’t know exactly what is supposed to end. I’m merely trying to live my life. You’re the ones that stole claire from me and turned her against me.

Victor: Given that you stole her from us when she was a baby.

Jordan: To give her a better life. To give her a more honest life. Something you would never have done. To show her what real family loyalty is.

Victor: Well now, jordan, your loyalty to your sister is– is deeply touching.

Jordan: My sister deserved your loyalty, victor. Instead you treated her like garbage.

Victor: Well, you know, I have a lot of regrets in my life. None bigger than the pangs of conscience I feel whenever I think of your sister, eve.

Jordan: So, tell me victor. Unburden yourself. Tell me all about it. Tell me what you’re going to do to make amends for my sister.

Victor: In order to do that, I’m going to have to look into your eyes, you know? So, let’s meet somewhere.

[ Jordan laughs ]

Jordan: So, I can walk right into your trap?

Victor: Or I into yours, right? I mean, are you willing to take the risk? I am. Y’all wayfair makes it so easy

Tessa: If jordan burned down victoria’s house, what else is she capable of? Aria is so vulnerable.

Mariah: Her safety is top priority and ours.

Tessa: Right. So, is the ranch really the right place to raise our baby? I mean even when the police catch up with this woman… the newmans don’t exactly live a simple quiet life. I mean there’s something always popping up with them. I mean a new threat, a conflict, and everyone around them just gets sucked in. I’m sorry, I– I don’t mean to upset you.

Mariah: No. No, no, you– you’re not upsetting me. I mean, I am upset about the guard, but I’ll get over that. It’s just– yeah, I– I never thought we’d stay there forever. The ranch is beautiful, and the tack house is amazing, but it’s always felt weird to me, you know? Living in a separate house on victor’s property. I mean, sharon’s house was one thing, but–

Tessa: It’s the newman ranch.

Mariah: And we’re not newmans. So, maybe it’s time to create our own home.

Nikki: Hi. My name is nikki and I’m an alcoholic. This has been one of the worst nights of my life. Um, some of you may know part of my story from other meetings.

[ Nikki sighs ] I have been through months of torture… where a mad woman who knew my history force fed me with alcohol through an iv. She was trying to destroy my sobriety. And she did. So, I found myself back at aa, craving alcohol and desperately wanting my sobriety back. So, um, I reconnected… with my long time sponsor, seth. And I think a lot of you in the room know him. And I’m so sorry to have to tell you that… seth died earlier tonight. He was hit by a car… outside of a bar. Now– now, to be clear, he was sober. He was pushed in front of that car by the same woman that I just mentioned. Her name is jordan. And I know that she is responsible for killing him. I– I– I wasn’t there. I didn’t witness it. I don’t have any proof. But I know that she did it. And I hate her for it. I hate her even more than I did before. And I just feel such tremendous guilt. Because, without my knowing, she tricked seth into believing that she and i were friends and she used him to spy on me. And so then when I realized what she was up to I– I asked him to keep her on the hook so that the police could catch her. And he was so eager to help me, I mean that’s just the kind of man he was. He always went above and beyond for me. And this time it cost him his life and now I– I wish that I hadn’t asked him to help me, you know? But I did, and so I feel partially responsible. And it will haunt me for the rest of my life. And now… all I want to do is drink. I want to crawl inside that bottle. But I know that that would not be the right way to honor seth’s memory. He would want me to be strong, he– he would want that for all of us. So, that’s what I intend to do. Because I’m going to make it my life’s mission to make sure that that monstrous, murderous bitch is put back behind bars. I want to see her punished, not just lack of her freedom. No, no, no, I want to see her pay and pay and pay for all of the people that she has killed, including seth. Frankly, I want to see her pay with her life. I want her to die in prison and not from old age. I want it to be in the most horrific way, unbearable agony with her begging for the mercy she didn’t show our seth. That’s what I want. And that’s what she deserves. So… if there is any justice in the world, if karma is real… that’s exactly what she’s gonna get. Soon enough, soon enough.

Ashley: You’re not gonna intimidate me just because you yelled at me.

Tucker: Why is it, ashley, every time I raise my voice above a whisper you accuse me of trying to coerce you somehow?

Ashley: I’m not accusing you of anything, tucker. I’m here to tell you that I understand you.

Tucker: Do you?

Ashley: Yeah. I know that all this anger and rage and suspicion is because I wounded you so deeply. I’m so sorry.

Tucker: Apology accepted. Now, you can get the hell out of my apartment.

Ashley: What are you doing?

Tucker: I have things to do.

Ashley: What? Like take somebody you don’t love to paris, when you could take me? When the two of us could be together just like we always dreamed of?

Tucker: This is just too ludicrous.

Ashley: What do I have to do to prove to you that I will never hurt you that way again? I promise you. Name it. Name it, whatever you want. I will never hurt you that way again, I swear.

[ Knocking on door ]

Audra: Tucker. Hi.

Tucker: Hey.

Audra: What’s she doing here?

Tucker: Just leaving, actually. With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

[ Ashley sighs ]

Ashley: I give that kiss about a three out of ten.

Audra: What’s going on here?

Ashley: Let me explain it to you, audra, and I’ll speak slowly so you can understand me. Tucker and I will be husband and wife again. I’m not going to back down for anyone or anything, and that’s including you. Because what we have is a once-in-a-lifetime connection between two people that were meant to be together. Now, I sabotaged that, and I was stupid. And now, I need to rectify my mistake and I will. You can count on it.

Audra: Ugh.

Tucker: God.

Audra: So suddenly, she’s madly in love with you, and wants you back?

Mariah: Oh, okay. Is this what we’re thinking? Look, it’s three bedrooms, two and a half baths, it’s a little east of the university. Walk to downtown, got to love the commune.

Tessa: Um, is there a yard for aria to play?

Mariah: There is a patio. No grass or trees. Lots to take care of.

Tessa: But there’s no room for a swing set. And what about privacy?

Mariah: Well, look, there’s a fence, yikes, but the houses on either side look down into the yard– excuse me, patio. Yeah, no, this is definitely more of a city center feel. If we want green space, we’d have to head to the park.

Tessa: Hm, I’ve never thought of myself as the suburban mom type.

Mariah: Oh, just wait until aria starts soccer.

Tessa: Oh, no, can’t think about that.

[ Both laughing ] Hey, what about something like this? Uh, newly renovated farmhouse in park-like setting on half acre with mature trees. I mean, doesn’t that sound nice and safe and romantic? And it’s in our price range.

Mariah: Lovely. How far out in the boonies is it?

Tessa: Oh, the boonies are great.

Mariah: No.

Tessa: And in this case, affordable.

Mariah: Okay, clearly, we need to make a list. Wants, needs, absolute deal breakers. We also gotta look at interest rates, taxes, all that stuff. I mean, we gotta put a kid through college someday.

Tessa: Wow, all this and brains too.

Mariah: You know, I have heard they come in handy sometimes.

Jack: Venting all that rage had to feel pretty good.

Nikki: Yeah, it did. But I know it won’t last.

Jack: No, it rarely does.

Nikki: I’ll wake up tomorrow, and seth will still be dead, and victoria’s house will still be in ashes. But being in front of those people, and saying out loud how much I detest jordan, that helped.

Jack: Yeah, I got that by the look in your face.

Nikki: Yeah, serenity mixed in with hatred.

Jack: Yeah, something like that.

Nikki: Jack, you have been my hero a few times lately. I don’t know that I would be able to hold it together without you.

Jack: Oh, sure you would. No doubt in my mind. I’m just glad you don’t have to.

Nikki: Yeah, me too. Um, so I have just one more favor to ask.

Jack: Ask away.

Nikki: Please take this away. Even though I’m feeling strong, you never know when the urge is going to come back, please.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Victor: What is that bottle doing in here?

Nikki: I didn’t know I had it. As you can see, it’s unopened partly thanks to jack, and he was just going to get rid of it for me.

Victor: I hope we don’t find any other alcohol on this ranch.

Nikki: Well, I’m not aware of any.

Jack: I will see that it is disposed of off the premises. Good night to both of you.

Victor: Thank you, jack.

Nikki: What are you doing up and dressed? I thought you went to bed.

Victor: Told you I have to make a call from the office.

Nikki: At this hour?

Victor: Yeah. It’s late afternoon in singapore.

Nikki: Victor, can’t it wait?

Victor: Sweetheart, I said I have to make a call.

Nikki: All right, it’s just us.

Victor: Right.

Nikki: Why don’t you tell me what’s really going on?

Tucker: You’ve got absolutely nothing to worry about. You can believe that.

Audra: Well, I just walked in here in your suite, and found your ex, declaring that it’s her new mission to win you back. Look, I’m not worried, but I sure as hell am annoyed.

Tucker: I hear you. That’s fair. But this was not some secret rendezvous.

Audra: Then what was it? Why weren’t you at the bar downstairs in public? Why did this meeting have to take place in a room with a bed?

Tucker: Because she was absolutely insistent that we meet in person immediately, and I was in the middle of packing, so it was more convenient for me.

Audra: Yeah, for her too, I’m sure. You know, if she was that upfront with me that she wants and loves you, I can only imagine what she had the brass to say before I showed up.

Tucker: I can understand you being pissed off, but I just don’t want you to be jealous.

Audra: Jealous? I have every right to feel the way I feel with this entire situation. She’s still around, in our lives, in your room.

Tucker: Right, but you heard my response to her, right? You heard what I said.

Audra: She’s not getting the message.

Tucker: I don’t know how I can be any more clear.

Audra: You know, tell me the truth. Has she done this before? Insist you get back together?

Tucker: No, never. Which makes me suspect there’s some, uh, strategic move at play here. To what end, I have no idea, but it’s not going to work. Hey. I almost lost you once. And… I’m never going to let that happen again.

[ Audra sighs ]

Audra: Well, at least, I guess, you can see what she’s up to. She’s such a mess. Did you see her reaction after we kissed? She wasn’t cool or collected at all for that second. You know, that tough stance of hers is sheer bravado.

Tucker: Yeah, just I– I saw something in her– in her eyes, though. Different than that, it was– she was confused, like she didn’t know what she was doing or why she was here.

Audra: I don’t know, I highly doubt ashley abbott’s ever confused about anything. But at least you packed for paris.

Tucker: Oui.

Audra: Despite the interruption, does ashley know that we’re leaving for paris?

Tucker: The first thing I mentioned.

Audra: Is she going to follow us there, hide in your suitcase?

Tucker: She might. I’ll be sure to check before we go to the airport. No, she’s not going to interfere with this trip.

Audra: I want to believe that. I just– I can’t wait to be on that plane with you. Just away from all of this. Just you and me, together in paris in a way we have never been before.

Tucker: I’m going to be the absolutely luckiest man in paris.

Audra: You already are.

Ashley: Uh, an old fashioned, please. Thanks. I think she suspects. It won’t be much longer now. And then she’ll be safe. For good. I would’ve called yesterday.

Mariah: Okay, look, look. This one checks an awful lot of boxes.

Tessa: Oh, the kitchen. Okay, that kitchen is now one of my must-haves. Whoever designed it thought of everything.

Mariah: You’ve always said you wanted to learn how to cook, so–

Tessa: Oh, there’s actually room to spread out. We could even cook together sometime.

Mariah: Oh, baby. It’s so great to have dreams.

[ Both laughing ]

Tessa: Oh, the location. Could it be any more perfect?

Mariah: Yeah, new roof, finished basement. I mean, ridiculous amounts of storage, and look, look. The little sunroom overlooking the yard.

Tessa: Are you thinking a home office?

Mariah: Uh, or a playroom. Or both. [ Laughs ]

Tessa: I love this, you know?

Mariah: What? Looking at houses that we’re probably not gonna buy?

Tessa: No, planning our future. I mean, think about it. We have a lifetime together. We get to watch aria grow up for years and years. Neither of us grew up in a house with a sunroom/playroom with parents that adored us and we get to give that to our daughter. And to each other. I mean, it’s incredible.

Mariah: We’re living the dream.

Tessa: No one else I’d want to live with.

Victor: I told you that I have to make a call to singapore.

Nikki: From newman?

Victor: Yes.

Nikki: Right this second?

Victor: Either way, why did you call jack over?

Nikki: Because I was in danger of opening the bottle. You should be grateful that I got a hold of jack when I did.

Victor: All right. I’m glad you didn’t drink. And I’m glad that he took the damn bottle with him. So, uh, why don’t you get some rest, sweetheart?

Nikki: Victor, I am not letting you slip out the door at this hour when I don’t know what you’re up to.

Victor: I gotta get going. Right now, okay?

Nikki: Tell me where you’re going. Tell me the truth.

Tucker: Something’s not right.

Ashley: Well, hello, jackie. How are you?

Jack: Well, let’s just say it’s nice to be home.

Ashley: I know exactly what you mean.

Jack: Well, I guess you were right about a walk in the brisk night air. You seem–

Ashley: What? Refreshed?

Jack: In a good mood.

Ashley: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, honestly, for the first time in a while, I don’t know, I feel like everything is coming together. Like, I’ve got this– this vision for my life, you know?

Jack: Without tucker, I hope.

Ashley: Absolutely.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

[ Door clicks open ]

Phyllis: It’s just difficult trying to be the person that my kids want me to be. And at the end of the day, I just feel alone.

Nikki: I’m afraid I’m just not up to telling stories tonight.

Claire: Not even the legendary story of how nikki reed met victor newman?

Michael: Don’t make me a liar to my wife. No heroics, no surprises. I promised lauren I’d be home in a couple of hours, safe and sound.

Victor: Lauren has nothing to worry about, okay? I love that my daughter still needs me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Cellphone chimes ] Kristina: Sam! Hi. Hi! Hi. You okay? How are you doing? I’ve been so worried about you ever since we heard about dante. Molly still is at the office, otherwise she’d be here. How’s dante? I have good news. Great, thank you. That’s great, chase. Yeah. Will you — will you let me know when forensic has got any information on that hoodie? Thank you. Good. Call me back. Commissioner devane. I heard about falconeri. How’s he doing? Yeah, he’s — he’s out of surgery, so… good. Yeah. There’s been a development. Okay. Is that… jason morgan? That image was taken tonight from the roof of selina wu’s warehouse. Now we know who was shooting at sonny. I should be at the hospital right now. I’m sure pacing here is helping dante as much as pacing there would. Thanks. Like I don’t already feel useless enough. No, I just — I meant that your good thoughts are reaching him no matter where you are.

[ Sighs heavily ] Okay, yeah. Also, I would have said anything to get you to stop. I’m sorry. I — I don’t mean to make you… as crazy as this is making me. You have every right to be worried about your brother. In the meantime, my fellow nurses are sending me regular updates. See? Well, no change. No change. No change. That’s good, right? That means that he’s — what, that he’s stable? And you didn’t even go to medical school. And if dante’s condition changes, you know, for better or, god forbid, for worse, we will get someone to watch the kids and we will head right over to gh. Yeah. I know you’re right. I just… well, I — I just feel so helpless. Sorry. No. You don’t have to apologize.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Jason: Carly.


Hey. There you are. Any news on dante? Yes! Yes, yes! The best. Our son made it through surgery. Oh.

[ Laughs ]

[ Crying ] They’re getting dante set up in his icu room, and once that’s done, he can have visitors. Okay. Well, what are you still doing here? I know you’re dying to see him. Um… so excited to see him. He’s unconscious, and I — I just feel like I need a few more minutes before I see him like that. Well, you take the time you need. And then when you’re ready, he’ll know you’re there. I’m glad you two are here. Honey, any time. Yes. Always.

[ Knocking ] Uh, I’ll get it. It’s dex and joss. It’s okay. I got it. Hi. Come on in, guys. Hi. Have you been at the hospital this entire time? Yes. We had to give commissioner devane a statement, and I took him home to change. Lucky me, no one had cleared out my apartment yet. Look, I can’t thank you two enough for what you did for dante at the scene. Willow: One of the er nurses said dante might not have made it if you two hadn’t intervened, so thank you. So, um… are you… here with an update? Not about dante. Um, he was still in surgery when we left the hospital. But we do know something about the person who shot him. That’s impossible. Oh, my god. No, if — if this is jason, he would never work for anyone who would hurt sonny. Say, okay, listen. We know he was on the roof. We know the shots came from the roof. We know that dante falconeri left the roof to pursue two people. Assuming one of them is morgan, where would he go? Well, to sonny obviously, but he’s here. Or…sam.

[ Indistinct conversation in distance ] Anyone else? Yeah. There is one other person he would run to.

[ Shakily ] Jason? It’s me. It’s you? It’s really you? It’s really me.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Crying ] Oh, you came back!

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m sorry it took so long.


[ Crying ] What — what happened? Where have you been?

[ Grunts softly ] What are you wearing? You’re bleeding. Were you shot? Yeah. How bad is it?

[ Gasps ] It’s — it’s not bad. You always say that. Oh, god. Alright. Carly… the bullet passed through. I could use a bandage. Okay? I’m gonna be okay. I…have… a first aid kit I can get. I don’t want to leave you. I’m gonna be here when you get back. Promise me. Promise me you got to be standing right here when I come back. Promise me. I promise.

[ Grunts, inhales sharply ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Okay. Wait, wait. Uh, sam just texted me dante’s room number, so… alright. Let’s go. Yeah. I’ll see you later? Mm-hmm. I’m so happy about dante. Thank you. Thank you. Olivia. Sonny. I h– I heard what happened. Is dante okay? Yes, yes. He made it through surgery, but we’re just — we’re just going to see him in icu. Oh, thank god. I’m sure he’s gonna be fine. Yeah. Um… we’re going to see him now, so… oh, right. Y-yeah, of course. Sonny. Um, please give dante my best. Of course. Of course we will. Ava, what is going on? What the hell happened tonight? Excuse me? Maybe you could help me. I’m gonna meet you upstairs. Oh, right. Oh, wow. And I brought you a change of clothes, toiletries, snacks. Thank you. It completely slip my mind.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Um, call me the minute you need me. Both: Okay. Alright? Hey, mom. Yeah? What snacks? They’re not for you. I mean, for two. Hello there. Oh. Oh, hi. Hi. So… by any chance, have you seen sonny around? I, uh, I know he’s waiting on word. I have not seen sonny, but I did hear that dante made it through surgery and he’s in the icu. Excellent. Excellent. I take it you’re representing sonny’s associates who are in custody? I am. Yeah. Yeah, and I’ve got to update him on the situation, so I’ve got to go find him. Excuse me. Not so fast. Where do you think you’re going? When we found dante, someone had already given him first aid. They had elevated his legs, wrapped a sweatshirt around him as a pressure bandage. There was also a phone lying next to him with a line to 911. Hold on, s-so the person that — that shot dante also tried to help him? Yes, and they were also risking being recognized because dante could have seen their face. It looks that way. None of this makes any sense. Why would he shoot dante and then call 911? Maybe he didn’t want to go down for killing a cop. Wait, hold on. There’s another — another possibility here. What if… the shooter helped dante… because he knows him?

[ Monitor beeping steadily ] Dad! Hey. Hi. Hi. Oh! How are you? I’m fine. Only damage was to my coat. Because you’re — you’re lucky. You’re not bulletproof. How you doing?

[ Exhales sharply ] Frantic at first. When mom first called to tell me about dante, it was like… okay, now, isn’t this too much stress for the baby? Honestly, the way I see it, with this family, the sooner this baby learns to handle stress, the better, right? How you doing really? You know… it’s interesting how your body reacts to stress when you know it’s bad for the baby, right? And also pushing the stress down could make it worse, so… I don’t know, dad. I’m just doing a lot of breathing. I bet you are. But dante’s doing better and… seeing you helps. Right back at you. You take care of yourself, okay? Of course. How is my son? Mr. Falconeri is in critical condition, but his vitals are stable. Do you know when he’s gonna wake up? It’s too soon to say. Okay. You’re his parents. You go in first. Go ahead.

[ Sniffles ] Hey, son.

[ Crying ] We’re here.


I’ve — I’ve got to go find sonny. Not until you tell me why you’ve been avoiding me. I haven’t really been avoiding you. I just had a feeling that… perhaps you weren’t too thrilled with me right now. Did we have some sort of a knock-down drag-out fight that I’ve blocked out? ‘Cause I’ve been sober for a while now, and I think I would have known. No, no. I just know that you wanted me to represent finn in the malpractice case. And not only was I not able to do that, I was the plaintiff’s attorney, and I just feel that perhaps you’re a little… unhappy with me. What is wrong with you? It’s me you’re talking to you. I haven’t been disbarred for that long. I know how lawyers work. I know what they do, and you were doing your job. It’s not personal. I’m glad to hear it. If you were worried about this, why didn’t you talk to me? I know. And normally, I would have. Normally, I wouldn’t have thought twice about that. But this is finn we’re talking about, and I know he’s important to you. And you’re important to me as well. What I was really disappointed in was that I couldn’t represent him. Ah. And I do miss mopping the floor with you in court.

[ Laughs ] Yes, mop– mopping. I don’t think that word means what you think it means. Anyway, uh, if you ever did mop the floor with me, it certainly wasn’t as often as you seem to think. Oh, I know exactly how often it was, which is why I miss it. Yes, well, I miss going toe-to-toe with you as well, but jurisprudence’s loss is journalism’s gain. Well, journalism is about to experience another devastating loss. Sonny and selina were having a perfectly harmless, perfectly legal conversation when anna burst in with the fbi, guns blazing like some kind of raid. How terrible! Yeah, tell me about it. Well, that must have been frightening. I guess it was a little. So what were you doing there? I thought I could be of some use. Honestly, ava, what were you thinking? I had to be there. I was tired of sitting on the sidelines worrying that avery might end up as collateral damage or that sonny might… …that avery might lose her father. Okay, so what was this active role that you were playing? We had to sell the idea that sonny and selina were meeting with a mediator to settle their business conflicts. And how are you, the mother of one of sonny’s children, an impartial mediator? Well, I used to be in… you know, I used to be in t-that world, you know, so… yeah. …So who better, right? Well, I guess. There’s no way to know if it would have worked anyway because the cops showed up and that was that. Well, I can sort of see why you did it, but what if — if something had gone wrong, ava? Which it kind of did. You could have gotten shot too! Or…killed! Yeah. I guess… I guess I could have been. I mean, anybody could have been. We all had to duck for cover. I’m glad you weren’t! I don’t know what I would do if I lost you.

[ Exhales sharply ] Oh. Aww. Look, I appreciate you coming back, dex. It’s a good thing you did, because you — you might have saved dante’s life. Not alone. Joss did just as much as I did. Well, honestly, I think the only reason dante was still alive when we got there is because of the pressure bandage. And the only reason he was able to even get to the hospital is because that person dialed 911. Isn’t it possible that whoever helped dante had nothing to do with the shooting, and maybe they were a good samaritan, and they just had their own reasons for not wanting anyone to know they were there? We left the pier as soon as the paramedics took dante away, but chase and the cops were there collecting evidence, and so they have the cellphone and the sweatshirt that was used as a bandage. Maybe it’s enough to track this guy down.

[ Footsteps approaching ] I’m gonna need you to lift your shirt.

[ Exhales sharply ] Okay. Yeah.

[ Groans ] Oh, I’m sorry.

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m sorry. I just — I… I’m gonna have to clean it.

[ Breathlessly ] It’s okay. Mm! I don’t want it to get infected. I just want to get it clean. Okay. Here.

[ Gasps ] I think it’s clean. Okay.

[ Exhales sharply ] How? How are you here? Jason?

[ Exhales sharply ] I wish I could call my mom and ask her how to help you with — no, no. Do not. Do not call bobbie. No. No. I can’T. She died.

[ Sighs heavily ] Bobbie’s dead?

[ Sobbing ] Yeah.

[ Knocking ] Anna: Police! Open the door.

[ Pounding ]


Yes, we saw him. He saw us, but we didn’t speak. He was with olivia and sam. They were all waiting outside the trauma room while dante was in surgery. Well, it was good of you to come to the house and tell sam and olivia what happened. I’m glad they got to see him. One last time? I can’t even think about it. I cannot think about rocco losing his father. I can’t think about avery and donna losing their big brother. But we all know that this could happen. And, yes, dante is a cop and he takes risks, but… we have to be honest here. This would not be happening if it wasn’t for sonny.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sniffles ]

[ Crying ] Well… well, I’m obviously appalled. I can’t say that I’m surprised. Thanks! You always know just what to say. Yes, I do. Now, while a publisher certainly has the right to overrule an editor in chief when it comes to hiring individual journalists, this seems like a breach of trust. Yeah. Nina is all about trust.

[ Scoffs ] Alright, so an editor in chief has the right to determine who does and does not work for the papers. Right. And if she had recommended a columnist, I could decide whether or not to hire said columnist. That would have been one thing. But that’s not what happened. No. She made a unilateral decision. There was no collaboration. So what are you going to do? I’m going to not think about this right now, and I’m going to concentrate on my daughter and helping her through this crisis. Of course. Of course. Your family always takes first priority. But just so you know, you have a right to bitch about the… boss.

[ Chuckles ] So, bro… …opening day is… right around the corner, and I know you’re not going to miss that. Especially since it’s the yankees’ year. You know, I was — I was at the pub the other day, and the game was on. This one bartender is a huge sox fan, and we were joking around back and forth for a while. And by the end of the game, I found myself rooting for them. And I thought… “man, my brother is gonna kill me.” See, since you’ve been in here,

[Voice breaking] It’s like the whole world’s upside down. I’m so worried about sonny. I know that my marriage is not in [Scoffs] The best shape right now, but I love him, ava. I love him, and I don’t want anything to happen to him. And whoever’s out to kill sonny, I am terrified that he might succeed. And I don’t — I don’t want to have to worry about you too. Oh, you don’T.

[ Chuckles ] No! Rest assured, after this little misadventure, I’m laying off any derring-do for the foreseeable future. Okay? Oh, good. This is insane, right? I mean, I know that sonny has enemies. But this? Well, for what it’s worth, I think we’re getting closer to the truth. Wait. Does sonny know who’s behind this? Do you? No. I swear. Some idea then, ava? Come on. I need to know who is trying to kill my husband.

[ Pounding ] Carly, open the door. Big house, other entrances. Let’s try one. Yeah. Hey, what’s going on? May we come inside? Uh, not until you tell me what’s going on. You’re aware that dante was shot earlier this evening? Yes. We’re pursuing a suspect. Okay. Well, what does that have to do with me? I will explain. Maybe we come inside? Yeah.

[ Door closes ] Anna: I believe you’ve met my colleague, federal agent cates? Yes. Hello, agent cates. Ms. Spencer. Okay. What’s this about a suspect? You might want to sit down, carly. Why? What’s going on? Does something happened to one of my kids? No, no. Well, not as far as I know. No, it has nothing to do with your children. Then why do you want me to sit down? Jason morgan is alive.

[ Monitor beeping steadily ]


you know moreabout this than you’re saying. If I had anything concrete to tell you, I would. But I’m open to hearing theories. Well… you know, theories are just as good as random guesses right now. Just when we think we have a picture, new pieces appear and the pieces don’t fit. Wait. You mean, sonny and you? And selina wu. You know, I — I can sort of understand why sonny is not telling me any of this, but I would think that you’d realize how important this is to me. Even when things were good between you and sonny, he — he kept you out of his business dealings, didn’t he? Yes, he did. But you’re not in the business anymore. Well… I was. I know how it works. I know the players. Now, I know that it wouldn’t make sense for sonny to confide in me about anything else, but in this particular circumstance, nina, I’m — I’m a resource. I know this has got to be very frustrating. It’s got to be frustrating to feel like you’re on the outside looking in. But believe me, you do not want to be on the inside of this. This isn’t just about me feeling excluded, ava. Do you understand that sonny is my husband? He needs me, whether he wants to admit that or not, and I can’t even support him through this! Oh, you’re right. He needs as many people in his corner as possible. Then tell me what’s going on, and stop playing switzerland. Come on! The last thing I am right now is neutral. Then why won’t you help me with my husband? Diane: Your guards are not under arrest, either federal or local for now. Thank you for doing that. You’re still gonna have to answer some questions, make a statement. I cannot imagine agent cates is going to give you reprieve beyond tomorrow morning. Agent cates can wait till hell freezes over. My priority is my son. How is dante? He’s pale, defenseless… but he’s a fighter, you know? Sometimes that’S… not enough. Oh, come on, sonny. Come on. After everything he’s been through, dante’s not gonna give up on this life. Thank you. How are you? You know me, diane. I just want to find out who did this… and take care of the situation. And I’m not saying that you’re wrong… but you want me to let go of my anger for the sake of the family and because it’s not doing me any good. Right? Look, what I was going to say is that sonny knows that he played a part in what happened to dante, and, josslyn, that’s got to be killing him. I know that it’s his son, michael. Okay? But I have trouble feeling sorry for him when we constantly have to see the people we love get hurt. Something I’ve really started to learn since becoming a nurse… for a lot of people, it’s more bearable to be angry than it is to be afraid. So while you have every right to be angry with sonny, maybe it’s also a way to feel less afraid for dante. Yeah. Um…

[ Sniffles ] There was a moment on the pier with dante where… his heart stopped beating and we couldn’t get a pulse. Dex was doing the chest compressions. I was doing the rescue breathing. But he was shot in the chest, and there was this voice in my head that was saying… “what if you’re doing it wrong?”

[ Voice breaking ] What we’re the people who killed him? Carly: Is this some kind of a joke? Jason died in greece. That’s what we thought, yes. However — no. Stop. You don’t get to do that, anna. You don’t get to show up my house in the middle of the night and tell me that jason’s alive. I’ve been grieving him every day for the past two years. Yes. So do you have proof? If so, I want to see it. If not, get the hell out of my house. We have proof. Can we show you? That was taken earlier this evening on the roof of a warehouse at 257 water street. We confiscated it from somebody I believe you know — damian spinelli. Are you sure? You’re 100% sure that spinelli took this tonight? Within the past four hours, yes. And it’s real? Jason’s alive? Yes, and with your permission, we’d like to search the house for him.


After everything that we’ve been through… been through a lot… we’re friends, right? No friend — and it’s true, there haven’t been many…

[ Both chuckle ] No friend has been as loyal and generous to me as you have. Then help me with sonny. Have you signed the divorce papers? No, I can’t bring myself to even look at them, much less sign them. Good. Good. Don’T. No problem on my end, but sooner or later, sonny’s gonna insist. Don’t worry about that. We’re gonna come up with a plan. And what plan would that be? I’m gonna help you save your marriage. That would be amazing. I just hope it’s not too late. Why would you think it’s too late? I’m just afraid that the longer that sonny and I are apart, his feelings for me are… gonna f-fade… that he’s gonna force himself to forget what we have together. Or worse — he’s gonna decide to… move on with someone else. Well… we just can’t let that happen.

[ Both laugh ] Hey. Hey. Any changes? No. I wish. I wish. I, um… I just felt like I needed to stretch my legs a little. I’m feeling pretty useless in there. It helps him to know that you’re here. Yeah, I know. You look beat. Thanks. Do you want me to…? I’ll stay here. You can go home, get rest. No, no, no. I’m not leaving him. Sonny, why don’t — you’ve been here all night. Why don’t – why don’t you go home and get some rest? Nah, I think I’m gonna stick around for a while.

[ Amelia crying over baby monitor ] Thank you. Oh, I’d better handle that before amelia wakes wiley. Can I come with you and give my niece a hug? Of course you can. You know, my sister’s crazy about you. The feeling’s mutual. But you’re not sure you’re gonna stay. It’s not about what I want, it’s about what’s best. For who? For joss. You tried to tell me months ago, and you were right. Our lives are just too different, and… the best thing I can do for joss is to leave and stay gone. You want to search my house for jason? We do, yes. I — I just found out that he’s alive. I don’t even know if I believe you. I don’t know that spinelli gave you that footage. I don’t even know if it’s real. Well, jason is familiar with this house, right? The physical layout, the security system? Yes. So it’s possible that he slipped inside without your knowledge. You’re not searching my house! You don’t have my consent. You don’t have my permission. And if you don’t get the hell out of my house, I’m gonna call my lawyer. We asked as a courtesy, ms. Spencer. We don’t need your permission. We have a warrant.

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: I am so sorry, finn. There’s just so much to process, you know, so much. But… I reacted. I mean, she came right at me. I did it to save myself.

Finn: I know, I know. Okay, and I just… I think my emotions need to catch up. I’m exhausted and this day has been endless.

Steffy: So, are you gonna sleep at the hospital again?

Finn: No. I wanna come home.

Steffy: Yeah.

Poppy: You two make such a great couple. Don’t you agree, zende?

Zende: They sure are something.

Rj: Sorry, I just missed you.

Luna: No, you have– you have nothing to be sorry about.

Rj: Is everything okay? You seem a little off.

Luna: I just realized I’m not good at this. I can’t do it.

Rj: What are you talking about? What do you mean you’re not good at this?

Poppy: Luna’s always been shy about expressing affection in public. But, um, sweetie, pda’s are unavoidable when a couple loves each other as much as you two do.

Rj: Yeah, and you know, the last thing I want you to be is uncomfortable. Do you want to go someplace more private? Maybe my place?

Luna: Uh, yeah, I’d love to.

Rj: Okay, I got a meeting in the cutting room, but I’ll meet you downstairs in ten.

Luna: Okay, I’ll be there.

Rj: Okay. See you.

Poppy: Bye. You were going to tell him, weren’t you?

Luna: I hate having this secret between us.

Poppy: Okay, but, luna, if you tell rj that you accidentally slept with zende, you will lose him.

Zende: She’s right, luna. You have to be very careful of what you stand to lose, or gain, if you decide to go down this road.

Hope: Ah, good, we’re alone.

Steffy: I had a cleaning crew specializes in, um…

Finn: Yeah.

Steffy: I just wanna put this behind us. I really do. I want this house to feel like your home again.

Finn: And I want that, too. At bombas, we’re obsessed with socks.

Poppy: Aren’t you worried? I can’t think of anything else.

Zende: Isn’t that why you have your magic mints? Take the edge off?

Poppy: I am fully aware that I am the reason why luna is in this awful situation. I just wish I kept better track of my mints that evening.

Zende: Yeah, I wish you had, too. Did I want to be with luna? Yes, I don’t deny it, but not the way it happened.

Poppy: I am terrified that luna will tell rj about being with you and she will lose that happiness that she found. Forever.

Luna: I hope you know how much our relationship means to me, and I’d never knowingly do anything to jeopardize it.

Rj: Hey, I’m in this for the long haul. You know that.

Luna: I hope so.

Rj: Is everything alright? Hey, you know what? I’m sorry. We don’t have to talk about that if you don’t want to. You know me. I’m right here to help whenever you need me. But… I do have an idea for something that we can do together that might be the solution to all your problems.

Luna: Yeah? What’s that?

Rj: Night swim?

Thomas: Hey, when you saw steffy earlier, how’d she seem?

Hope: Well, you know your sister. She’s putting on a brave face. Obviously, she’s horrified that she took a life, even if it was in self-defense. And the fact that it is her husband’s birth mother just adds to the guilt.

Thomas: Yeah, sorry. I don’t– I don’t have a lot of patience with finn’s torment over sheila’s demise. I mean, has he forgotten that sheila shot him and his wife, my sister, and left them for dead? Or– or– or the fact that she broke into their house and could have killed his wife? I mean, steffy could be dead right now because of sheila.

Hope: Of course, finn understands that, thomas. But sheila was still his birth mother, I mean, like it or not, there is a connection there. One that finn doesn’t even understand. And you can’t just wish it away. Sheila’s dead because of steffy and that’s hard for him to absorb. So, I just– you know, I just told steffy to try to understand her husband’s feelings.

Steffy: Here you go.

Finn: Thank you.

Steffy: I’m really glad that you’re home. I’m glad that you want to be here despite everything that happened.

Finn: And everything that I love is in this house. You, the kids, my surfboard.

[ Finn sighs heavily ]

Steffy: You look tired.

Finn: Well, like I said, it’s been a long day.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Where are the kids?

Steffy: Kelly is with liam and hayes is with grandma li. It does give us a night to ourselves. It gives us a chance to reconnect. We need it.

Finn: I know. I’m here.

Zende: Can you bring in those swatches on your way into work tomorrow? Okay. All right, awesome. Thank you. There it is again. Don’t you have somewhere to be? I’m trying to work.

Poppy: Well, excuse me if I’m concerned about my daughter.

Zende: I am too, but there’s nothing that we can do at the moment. Except to keep encouraging her not to tell rj what happened with me by mistake. What? I care about luna and her happiness. I wish she had found it with me, but that’s not how things worked out. Rj is the lucky winner.

Poppy: You talk a good game, I’ll give you that. Not the reason I’m concerned.

Zende: Look, I am not plotting to come in between luna and rj, if that’s what you’re afraid of. However, if he’s stupid enough to lose her or to push her away, I will be there to pick up the pieces. Count on it.

Poppy: Easy there, tiger. Don’t get your hopes up. The only thing that can come between them is if luna tells rj about what happened with you. And I’m going to make sure that she doesn’T. And not to protect herself, but to protect you and your family. Especially your relationship with rj.

Rj: Do you trust me?

Luna: You know I do.

Rj: Well then I’m telling you a night swim is exactly what you need.

Luna: I mean, I’ve never been in the ocean after dark.

Rj: It– it’s a first. That’s even better. Come on!

Luna: I don’t know, rj.

Rj: Listen, I’ll be right there with you. The whole time. Hm? It’ll be fun. Maybe, you know, it’ll take your mind off of whatever’s been bothering you.

Luna: I love how you’re always looking out for me.

Rj: Well, you know, it’s– it’s my job, so… no, come on, what do you say? A night swim always clears my mind. Maybe it’ll do the same for you. And you left your swimsuit here. Wait, do you hear that? I– it’s the ocean. It’s the ocean. It’s calling your name.

Luna: Okay, fine, let’s do it.

Rj: Yes, let’s do it. Come on.

Thomas: You and steffy didn’t get into a fight or anything, did you?

Hope: No. But she wasn’t exactly receptive to me either, which is fine. She’s going through a lot right now, but so is finn. And that was the only point I was trying to make.

Thomas: I’m guessing steffy isn’t exactly receptive of finn’s grief over sheila.

Hope: No. But she also just can’t brush it under the rug and dismiss it. I mean, his feelings are valid. Sheila gave birth to him.

Thomas: Yeah.

Hope: Steffy killed her, and so, obviously, there is going to be a conflict there. I just hope that they can treat it with understanding and compassion.

Thomas: Did you say that to steffy?

Hope: I tried. I’m not sure my delivery was the greatest. Um, and quite frankly, I don’t think steffy even really wanted to hear it coming from me. But, I don’t know, I just– sheila’s death, I really do worry, might create some problems in their marriage.

Steffy: You have no idea how much I needed this.

Finn: I think I have an idea.

Steffy: I love you so much. Never forget that.

Finn: No, I never do. I love you too. More than– more than anything, sorry.

Steffy: No, no, no, don’t be. You’re exhausted. So, how about this? Why don’t you just rest up a bit? I’ll hop in the shower and wake you up with a kiss when I’m back, okay?

Finn: I love the sound of that. Hm.

[ Finn sobbing ] (Vo) for over 50 years

[ Zende sighing ]

Rj: Wow. Wow. God, you look amazing.

Luna: You make me feel amazing.

Rj: Come on, you don’t need me for that. You know how special you are. You are beautiful. Inside and out. And you are sweet and you are funny. You’re one of the most honest people I’ve ever met.

Luna: I don’t ever want to do anything to disappoint you. Or not see love in your eyes whenever you look at me.

Rj: It’ll never happen.

Luna: No, I mean it, rj. I mean, you mean everything to me. I can’t imagine my life without you.

Rj: Don’t even think about it. I’m not going anywhere.

Luna: You know, I’m gonna hold you to that.

Rj: Okay.

Luna: In fact, I think I’m just gonna hold you.

Hope: Steffy and finn love each other. They have a wonderful marriage, a beautiful family. And for sheila to cause problems for them, even beyond the grave, is unacceptable. They can’t let her win. I mean, now’s the time that they have to really become devoted to each other. Listen to each other. Or try to act with– with compassion and understanding. And… I just– I don’t know, that’s– that is what I was trying to tell steffy, but she was not ready to hear it. Or at least she did not want to hear it from me.

Thomas: I love how much you care. It shows the kind of kind and compassionate person you are. However, I don’t really wanna spend the rest of the day talking about steffy and finn if we don’t have to. Love always finds a way, right? And they love each other. So, it’s gonna be okay. I mean, look at us. Found a way somehow for us and I will always love you.

Sheila: I love you so much, baby. My son.

[ Echoing ] Son.

Steffy: No. No. No.

[ Steffy and sheila grunting ]

Finn: NO.

Sheila: No, stop.

Finn: Stop, stop.

[ Sheila gasping ]

Finn: No, stop, stop. Stop. Stop, stop.

Sheila: Finn, help me.

Finn: Stop, stop, stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Steffy: Finn? Finn, what– what happened? Baby, what happened?

Finn: She was just here– she was– sheila and I saw the– uh, I saw everything. I just saw the knife and the blood. And I saw the– the… I saw everything that happened and– and– and she was– my name and she was– she was– she was– she got– I couldn’t help her.

Steffy: Baby, baby, hey.

Finn: I couldn’t help her I couldn’t save her and I… I just– I just, I…

Steffy: Baby, you were sleeping, okay? Hey, hey. Breathe. Breathe, okay? Breathe. I’m here. You fell asleep on the couch. You had a nightmare. You’re safe. You’re safe now. Oh, god, I hate you’re so tortured by this. But we’re gonna get through this, okay? You and me, like we get through everything. I love you, okay? It’s okay. It’s okay.

Firefighter: Ng ]

Victoria: Oh, my god.

Firefighter: Sorry, miss, but you have to move on. You can’t be this close to the blaze.

Victoria: No, no, no, no. That’s my home.

Nikki: It was jordan. We should have known she’d go this far and yet…

Claire: Why haven’t we heard anything?

Nikki: They’ll call soon.

Claire: Fire is jordan’s weapon of choice. She told me so herself. A good fire is often the perfect solution for a bad situation. And the prison fire was successful. Why would she stop there?

Nikki: She’s pure evil.

Claire: The second she heard that victoria and I were supposedly in that house, it goes up in flames. She couldn’t wait to light that match. My aunt, the woman who raised me, who– who my whole life, she told me that she was my salvation. That it was us against the world? She couldn’t wait to burn that place to the ground with me in it.

[ Knock on door ]

Tucker: Hey, abby. Something wrong?

Abby: You actually sound concerned.

Tucker: Uh, well, if there’s a problem, then–

Abby: What game are you playing with my mom now?

Jack: Hey, thought I heard you down here. What’s got you up so late?

Ashley: I’m not sure. I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Jack: Something bothering you?

Ashley: I was so exhausted. I mean, I didn’t even change outta my clothes. Uh, then I had the most bizarre dream. It– it woke me up.

Jack: And what was the dream about?

Ashley: I was with you and traci at the athletic club and we were arguing and you were yelling and you were so loud, but I couldn’t understand what you were saying to me. And then all of a sudden, tucker was next to me by my side.

Jack: Even in dreams, he’s a nuisance.

Ashley: Yeah, he was, uh, he was trying to tell me what you were saying. You know, he was like explaining your words and translating to me. I– I don’t know.

Jack: Well, I hope you put dream tucker in his place.

Ashley: No, I didn’t because I mean, everything he was saying was making sense to me.

Jack: Okay, I don’t like the sound of that. The logical interpretation of that dream is that for some reason, tucker, of all people, would understand the situation, any situation better than you.

Ashley: That’s the whole thing, jack. In this dream, I wasn’t myself. It was like somebody I didn’t even know.

Tucker: I’m sorry, abby. I– I really have no idea what you’re talking about.

Abby: We both know that’s a lie.

Tucker: It’s been pretty clear now for a while that things are over between your mother and me.

Abby: Clear to whom? I mean, it’s clear to me that you’re messing with her head. And that’s disgusting. My mom has honestly loved you. Not just once, but twice. She defended you. My mom saw something in you that, let’s be honest, no one else has ever seen. And what, instead of realizing how lucky you were to have her, you kept pushing her over and over and over again until she lost part of herself. What, was that to make you feel more important, more powerful? And when she finally realized there was nothing to see in you, and she got the courage to leave, you started playing these games to what, punish her? Because you realized you didn’t deserve her?

Tucker: Um… would you like to sit down?

Abby: No, I don’T.

Tucker: So, what exactly has ashley told you?

Abby: No, don’t do this. You’re not gonna put this off on me or on her. I want you to come clean for once in your life. What did you do?

Tucker: Abby… if you don’t tell me what it is that I allegedly did, I can’t answer that question.

Abby: Just stop playing this innocent, clueless guy! You have never been either of those things.

Tucker: Okay. I’ll tell you what I know. Your mother has been acting a little… strange since she returned from her latest trip to paris. And at first, I thought maybe she was the one playing games, uh, or devising some revenge scheme to get back at me.

Abby: Oh, that she’s the vengeful one now, right? Is that you projecting, tucker? Do you feel guilty? Did you do something that my mom would wanna punish you for?

Tucker: She has admitted that my version of what happened between us in paris is the correct one. But who knows? There’s a possibility that, um, she’s just pretending to be contrite to set me up for something.

Abby: Set you up for what?

Tucker: I don’t know. And to be honest, abby, I’m starting not to care. I’ve moved on.

Firefighter: We’re doing what we can to subdue the fire. But the house went up fast.

Victoria: No. No. Nothing? I mean, you can’t do anything? My whole life is in that house. Everything that my kids know and love is in that house.

Firefighter: All we can do now is keep it from spreading into the woods.

Victoria: No! Dad!

Victor: Sweetheart.

[ Victoria sobbing ]

Firefighter: It’s not safe for you to be here. I have to ask you to leave.

Victor: We understand. Thank you.

Victoria: No, this can’t be happening.

[ Sobbing, sniffling ]

Nikki: Thank god you and victoria were here. And johnny and katie are at boarding school. She would’ve let you both burn with no remorse. It’ll never be enough for her until we’re all–

[ Phone ringing ] Victor, what’s happening?

Victor: The house is burning down.

Nikki: No. Oh, no. No. God…

Victor: Nothing could be saved, okay? So victoria and i are on the way home.

Nikki: How is she?

Victor: Devastated.

[ Victoria sobbing, sniffling ] Before my doctor and I chose breztri

Nikki: It is too much. First, seth, and now this. I can’t handle it. I can’t handle it.

[ Nikki sobbing ]

Claire: Nikki, tell me how to help you.

Nikki: Talk to me about anything other than your aunt. Just start and don’t stop.

Claire: Yeah. Yes. Um, I’m thinking, um–

Nikki: Tell me something funny. Tell me something outrageous or– or– or ridiculous. Just– just something to distract me, please.

Claire: Um, at the hospital, there’s this little girl, nadia, and– and she– did you ever see her? She would come to my room for story time.

Nikki: Uh, uh, nadia, yeah. Go ahead.

Claire: Well, she’s so smart and she loved the book that victoria brought me about greek mythology. Athena is her favorite– favorite goddess. And– and she’s mine too. But you– you probably know all this.

Nikki: It doesn’t matter. Keep going.

Claire: Okay. Um, athena is zeus’s favorite daughter. And one day, nadia told me that she wanted to change her name to athena so that she could be strong and brave and everyone’s favorite.

Nikki: Smart girl.

Claire: Yeah. And when she said that, I, uh, I cried a little bit, not in a sad way, but in a way that felt like she had explained something in my heart that I didn’t– I didn’t know was there. I realized that my whole life, I– I just wanted to be someone’s favorite.

Nikki: Oh, claire. Obviously, you touched her heart too. And that is an incredible gift to be able to speak to a child in a way that they feel heard and then they wanna listen. You know, when you’re completely recovered and starting to think about what you wanna do in the world, you might wanna consider something that would allow you to work with children.

Claire: Well… I’d never thought of that. Growing up, I didn’t have any plans. My future didn’t belong to me. But yeah, I need a career or a hobby, a– a way to fill my day with something that matters. And I– I would love to work with children. Seeing something so sweet and innocent in their eyes.

Nikki: They still see the magic in the world.

Claire: Yeah. And I wanna see the magic too. I don’t wanna be so jaded and– and– and disappointed in the world all the time. Maybe working with kids could give me that and then I could give something back too.

Nikki: You definitely could, claire.

Claire: Oh, but I don’t have any training and I have a record. Who’s gonna let me near their child knowing that?

Nikki: Now, don’t sell yourself short. You have plenty to offer any employer. You’re a fast learner. You can juggle a lot of things at once, and your attention to detail is amazing. And you have the best references you could. Your family who will vouch for you and tell anybody who asks how very special you are.

Claire: Thank you, nikki. That means a lot.

[ Claire sniffling ]

Nikki: Don’t worry. We’ll find a way to make that happen.

Claire: Nothing can happen until my aunt is locked away again forever. Then, my new life can really begin.

Abby: Please god, tell me that this suitcase means you’re leaving genoa city for good.

Tucker: No, I’m just going to paris for a few days. Part business, part pleasure.

Abby: Well, it would be a pleasure for me and everyone else in this town if you just made that business trip permanent. Because let me tell you, tucker, we are so over you. All of your lies and the deceit. And this constant manipulation with my mother, I don’t think you realize the effect that it has on your son, on your grandson. So please, just pack that bag and be gone for good.

Tucker: Abby, I have stayed away from devon completely at his request.

Abby: No, it’s not enough. It’s not enough because you being in town is this constant reminder of what a disappointment of a father that you are. So please, if you have any sort of ounce of decency somewhere in you, go to london, go to paris, go anywhere but here.

Tucker: I’m curious, uh, what has prompted this outrage all of a sudden tonight? Has ashley accused me of something else? Has she done something else? Something happened?

Abby: Oh, something happened, all right. She tried to convince devon to forgive you.

Jack: It was a dream. Your subconscious churning up anxiety and fear, not reality.

Ashley: What it means is that tucker’s in my head.

Jack: Look, the last time we talked about tucker, you seemed awfully confident that you were past him, that that connection was over. I know it’s difficult to just wipe someone from your mind, but– and I know it’s especially difficult when he is present and you’re dealing with him all the time. If that man would just leave town for good, we’d be better off.

Ashley: It doesn’t even matter, jack.

Jack: It would be better than this.

Ashley: It’s not gonna happen. In spite of everybody that’s turned against him, he’s not leaving town.

Jack: Then we have to find a way to get him out of your system, to break the connection. Look, as much as I hate to say this, are you sure you want him out of your life?

Ashley: Don’t get angry with me, okay? I’m not sure. I know. I mean, there’s times when I feel like I’m sure and that I’ve moved on and then this weird shift comes over me and I don’t know, I just see tucker in a different way.

Jack: Okay. Different how?

Ashley: Like maybe I should forgive him. Like maybe I shouldn’t walk away. I could try again and give it another chance.

Bladder leak

underwear has one job.

Jack: I hate the hold this man still has on you. It’s pure manipulation, ego on his part. Just like him demanding that you cut your family off completely. He doesn’t deserve a second chance. Or your forgiveness, for that matter. What– what can I do? How can I help you break the cycle?

Ashley: You spend a lot of time looking out for me, don’t you?

Jack: No.

Ashley: I told you before, but I just– I feel like I need to deal with this one on my own.

Jack: Going it alone hasn’t exactly done the trick.

[ Ashley laughs ]

Ashley: You’re not wrong about that. Gosh. You know, I just, I don’t– I don’t know what’s going on with me, jack. I really don’T. One minute, I feel like I have completely detached from all this chaos and I know in my heart that tucker’s the worst thing in the world for me.

Jack: I’m not surprised by that. You’ve been under a lot of stress lately. You haven’t been able to regain your footing since paris. But you will. And until then, don’t be so hard on yourself. Let traci and i be there for you. You’re gonna get past this.

Ashley: I love that you believe that.

Jack: I do believe that. And you need to believe that too. Tucker be damned.

Ashley: Yeah.

Jack: Didn’t traci say you have a psychologist friend in paris who you call sometimes to get good advice from?

Aley: Yeah, I was thinking about that.

Jack: Well, it’s morning in paris right now. You could give him a call.

Ashley: That’s a good idea. And you don’t have to stay here with me. Go back to bed.

Jack: Don’t worry about me. You can’t get rid of me that easily. I have another plan.

Tucker: Ashley went to devon on my behalf?

Abby: She started by telling us that she had misinterpreted the fight that you had in paris and that she didn’t wanna do more damage to your father-son relationship.

Tucker: Really? She said those exact words?

Abby: Well, like she could do more damage than you’ve done yourself.

Tucker: And how did devon react to that?

Abby: I don’t know. Devon cares about her. But you, you are the one that ruined that relationship. So, he is not just gonna forgive you overnight.

Tucker: Sorry, I still don’t understand what you’re doing here. All worked up if nothing has changed.

Abby: Because if my mom is trying to get devon to forgive you, then she must be considering forgiving you herself. And please, if you were being honest before, if you weren’t lying and you really have moved on, then just stay away from all of us. From devon, from dominic, and my mother.

Tucker: And you, uh, you represent all of them? You speak for all of them? This is your call? A second ago you said that I shouldn’t count on devon forgiving movernight, which means that you think there’s a possibility he might forgive me in the future. Is that why you’re here?

Abby: Maybe devon will forgive you. I don’t know. I mean, I– I have encouraged him in the past to forgive you because I thought devon deserves a father. Our son deserves a grandfather. But all you do is hurt people. And if whatever’s going on with my mom, if it’s sincere, if this softening is a real thing, please don’t take advantage of it. ‘Cause I promise you, there will be hell to pay. And if my mom is planning some sort of revenge play, I support her 100%. I hope she crushes you like a bug. And if you try to pull some sleazy move on my family, mark my words, you will regret it.

Ashley: Is this the right thing? I’m scared. What? Dammit! What’s she done now? Ah, get out of my head. Can’t let this happen. Not again.

Claire: I shouldn’t have mentioned my aunt. I’m sorry. That’s not what you need right now.

Nikki: No. And it’s all right. The moment passed and jordan will be dealt with soon enough and we can all put our lives back together again.

Claire: I only ever saw photos of my mom’s house. Now, she’s lost everything.

Nikki: No, she hasn’t lost everything. She still has her most precious, irreplaceable treasures. You and all of her family. And she can buy new things and we can all recover from what jordan has put us through because we have each other. That’s how we newmans are. We protect each other no matter what.

Claire: Family.

Nikki: Yes, your family. And soon, this will all be behind you and you can put your skills to use again.

Claire: You’re really good at that. Making me feel like I have something to offer the world. But I think it’s gonna be a while before I have any kind of career.

Nikki: Well, I disagree. You’ve already made great progress.

Claire: The doctors helping me through this have been amazing. But even more than that, I feel… stronger because of the support of my new family. It has been hard to believe how kind and forgiving and generous you have all been with me. The fact that you could find a way to welcome me into your home and into your family after everything.

Nikki: Well, your aunt made that quite a challenge. But you are my granddaughter and that’s what matters the most.

Claire: Can I get you some more tea?

Nikki: Yes, please. And claire, thanks for chatting with me. It was just what I needed. I’m jonathan lawson,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Nikki: Oh, baby. I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry. Oh, but thank god nobody was in the house.

Victoria: I know, I know. But mom, it’s was my home, my kid’s home. Our pictures, our keepsakes, everything is just gone.

Nikki: Things. Just things. I– I know it hurts now, but thank god everybody is safe.

Claire: Mom. Oh, I’m so sorry.

Victor: Well, we all know who’s responsible. That’s one more terrible crime.

Nikki: That woman is despicable. I wanna tear her limb from limb! After everything she has done to me and my family, she deserves to rot in hell!

Claire: I know my aunt jordan. She’s feeling alone and– and desperate. That’s why this happened.

Victor: Why do you say that?

Claire: She usually takes her time. She plans her moves very carefully. She’s far more calculated than this. This is her lashing out wildly. At this point, she’s got nothing left to lose.

Nikki: That’s not good.

Claire: It does mean that she could be more dangerous than before. But it also means she could be getting sloppy.

Jack: Look what I found. The perfect late-night snack. Heard you talking earlier. Did you call your friend in paris?

Ashley: Yeah, I got his voicemail. I left him my message. I’m sure I will hear back from him soon. Very good suggestion. Thank you.

Jack: Well, sure. If it gives you a little peace, I’m happy.

Ashley: You don’t have to wait up with me though.

Jack: Don’t worry about me. You and I can sit and eat pie and talk, or we can just eat pie.

Ashley: Actually, I think I’m gonna go for a walk and clear my head.

Jack: A wa– outsi– it’s freezing out there.

Ashley: It’s brisk and the air is fresh. And it’s exactly what I need to clear my head. Okay, but don’t you eat my pie. All right? I will be back for it.

Jack: Okay. You sure?

Ashley: I’m fine. I’ll see you later.

Jack: Be careful.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Diane: Hey, honey. What are you doing up?

Jack: Oh, I heard ashley pacing then I heard her come downstairs. She’s in knots again about tucker. And no matter what I say, I can’t seem to help her.

Diane: Jack, I– I think it’s time to give your sister some space. She’s battling her demons, but that is something she has to do on her own.

Devon: Hey, pretty lady.

Abby: Hey.

Devon: What’s going on? I can tell by your text something’s up.

Abby: I just had it out with tucker.

Devon: What? What happened?

Abby: I needed him to know that my mom’s new attitude towards him was not gonna open any doors. And he couldn’t just say that he would stay away from her.

Devon: Hey, why would you even waste your time talking to him? He’s too self-centered to give a damn about anybody else. He is always gonna do what he wants to do. You know that.

Abby: No, I know that. But I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. The man is so utterly frustrating. Ooh, and it just felt so good to let him have it. I wanted to make sure that he really heard me.

Devon: What did you say to him?

Abby: Well, I didn’t just defend my mom. I told them that if he hurt anyone in my family, that he was gonna have to deal with me. And he was packing for some business trip. I told him he better make it permanent because no one wants him here. He needs to stay away from my family forever.

Devon: Wow. Well, I appreciate you looking out for all of us like that, but you know, you don’t have to protect me from tucker.

Abby: Devon, I know I don’T. But he needs to know that his intrusion in our family is not gonna be tolerated. And, of course, I’m sure he twisted something that I said and– and took it as encouragement.

Devon: Why would he take it as encouragement?

Abby: Because I told him that my mom– my mom talked to you about possibly forgiving him. He got this spark in his eye. It was almost like he thought maybe he could reconcile with you and my mom. I told him that paris was just one small thing in a long line of unforgivable things. And that my mom’s request, it’s not gonna do anything. But he just seems so hopeful. Like he thought you might give him another chance.

Devon: Yeah. I’m sure he was hopeful because I usually do give him a second chance.

Abby: Please be finished with that. Don’t ever make that mistake again. Imagine if you could get ahead of your ibs-c

Devon: Yeah. I’m definitely done doing the same things over and over again and hoping for a different outcome. I’ve been down that road way too many times with tucker, and I have no interest in getting burned again.

Abby: Well, thank you for saying that. It calms me down a little bit.

Devon: He lies too much and I don’t want that energy around our family either. But it’s my turn to tell you that you need to stay clear of him.

Abby: I want nothing more than to be done with tucker mccall. But my mom has this weird connection with him and that connection is part of what keeps him tied to our family.

Devon: I know. What do you think is really going on with your mom?

Abby: I don’t know what’s going on with my mom these days. I don’t like it. Just when I thought we were over and done with tucker mccall, why is my mom suddenly drawing him back in?

Jack: Intellectually, I understand why ashley might feel she has to work this out on her own. But do you remember the last time she fell in love with him before the wedding? Denying she had any involvement with him and then suddenly totally embracing it. And nothing I could say could talk reason into her.

Diane: Of course, I remember. But a lot of that had to do with her wanting to get rid of me.

Jack: And despite all the declarations and warnings that this marriage was only going to end badly, she married him anyway. That marriage was an unmitigated disaster. And here we go again.

Diane: Well, you don’t know that for sure.

Jack: I– I hate that we’re even talking about this despicable man. How can he possibly still have that kind of a hold on my sister?

Diane: Jack, I know that you’re concerned about her, but you have got to stop worrying. I mean, you have done everything you could to help her. I mean, I even tried for what it’s worth. But now you just– you just have to let it go and– and let her make her own decisions.

Jack: Yeah, you’re probably right. It’d be a whole lot easier if she would actually make a decision. I don’t know what’s going on with her right now. One moment, she’s confused and torn, and the next, she’s absolutely fine and full control of herself. What are we supposed to do with that?

Diane: Well, I suspect your sister is just working through some things. Give it time. When she holds a grudge, she holds it tight. And I think that very soon, tucker will start to feel the power of that grip.

[ Tucker sighs ]

Tucker: Please–

Ashley: It’s the truth.

Tucker: Please stop. You can just–

Ashley: What?

Tucker: Could you please cut this crap out?

Ashley: What crap?

Tucker: The animosity you have shown me lately, it doesn’t just vanish. You’re doing one of two things. You’re either brainwashing yourself, like I said, or you’re setting me up for something. Either way, this conversation is over. Get the hell outta my room.

Ashley: Hopefully I’ll be able to convince you someday.

Tucker: Convince me of what? And what the hell difference does it make? What is it you’re after, please?

Ashley: I think you know.

Tucker: [ Laughs ] I have no idea. I’m telling you, I have no idea what this new bizarre game you’re playing is.

Ashley: I’m not playing a game.

[ Tucker sighs ]

Tucker: Oh, ashley. Ashley. Ashley. What is going on with you now?

Nikki: Now is the time for us to turn the heat up on that monster. Flush her out and turn her sick game to our advantage. We should go to the media and let them know about her heinous attack on our family and not hold back.

Victoria: We can’t publicly accuse her of being an arsonist without any proof.

Victor: You’re right, sweetheart. If we went to the press now, that would only entice her into more violent actions against our family. I mean, I knew this woman would react, but I had no idea to this degree.

Nikki: She is pure evil!

Victor: You know, I’m gonna convince her to meet with me.

Nikki: What if you do? I mean, she’s so desperate. She’ll try anything.

Victor: She’s not gonna get the upper hand with me.

Diane: You’ve been an incredibly supportive big brother, but now it’s time to let ashley work this out on her own.

Jack: I hear your point. You’re probably right.

Diane: But you don’t wanna listen.

Jack: I never wanna listen.

[ Diane laughs ] But this time I will.

Diane: Good. I’ll take it.

Jack: I’ve noticed, you know.

Diane: Hmm.

Jack: How supportive you’ve been, how far you and ashley have come.

Diane: Well, let’s not make too much of it.

Jack: No, not too much. Just enough. After everything you’ve been through, after everything she puts you through, you’ve somehow managed to rise above and take your place in this family.

Diane: Because of you. I adore you and you deserve a peaceful household. So, I will happily do my part.

Jack: I just hope this mess with tucker doesn’t throw a wrench in our peace.

Diane: Yeah, we can hope. You know, you’ve already spread yourself so thin lately. I– jack, I– I love how much you look after the people that you care about. It’s the last thing I would ever wanna change about you. But I would also love for things to get a bit better for everyone.

[ Phone rings ]

Jack: Nikki. Hey, nikki. Are you okay?

Nikki: I’m sorry for calling so late, jack. I’m having a rough time.

Jack: Uh, where are you?

Nikki: I’m at home.

Jack: Okay, I’ll– I’ll be there in half an hour. All right?

[ Diane sighs ]

Diane: Nikki needs you.

Jack: Yeah.

Diane: And before you tell me not to, yes, I’ll be waiting up. So don’t argue.

Jack: I love you.

Devon: Hey.

Abby: Mom, hi.

Ashley: Hi.

Abby: What are you doing here so late?

Ashley: I was at the lab. I got so involved in everything, I didn’t realize it was so late and I’m starving. So, I came by to get a quick bite. You wanna join me?

Abby: No, actually we have to get home to dominic.

Devon: Yeah. Rain check though?

Ashley: Sure.

Abby: Hey, why don’t you follow us home? Yeah. We can pick something up and then if we’re lucky, dominic will be awake and he can join us.

Ashley: Yeah. No, thank you. I’m just gonna eat right here. Thanks.

Abby: Are you really here for the food?

Ashley: Why would you ask me that?

Abby: Well, there’s lots of places to eat, but here, there’s tucker and food.

Ashley: Honestly, I am not here for tucker. Okay. Don’t worry about me so much. I’m fine.

Abby: Are you sure?

Ashley: I’m positive.

Abby: Okay. Well, um, don’t stay out too late.

Devon: Have a good night.

Ashley: Thank you.

Abby: Good night. Bye.
