[ Relaxing music ]

Hope: My mom and ridge are facing a challenging time, and I just don’t want anyone to try to take advantage of that.

Steffy: Hold on. Take advantage?

Hope: I am not saying that you would, but if we’re going off of track record…

Steffy: It’s like you didn’t hear a word I just said. Nobody dictates my father’s choices or my mother’S. Especially when it comes to my family.

Taylor: Okay, kids, that’s enough. I hear that you’re both very concerned about your parents and that is touching and admirable. But, but I’m standing right here. Okay, this is… this is awkward. And hope, I’m still not sure what’s going on with your mom, but if she needs any help, I’m here.

Brooke: Ridge, you need to go to the office. That appointment’s been rescheduled two times. Come on, you don’t need to babysit me.

Ridge: I just told you, I’m never leaving you again.

Brooke: I didn’t know that you meant that literally.

Ridge: Yeah, if you need me to be here, I’m going to be here.

Brooke: What I need is to figure out why I started drinking.

Ridge: We will. We’ll figure it out together. Most important thing is now you’re going back to meetings, and you’ve recommitted to your sobriety. So that’s good.

Brooke: Right. Yes. Mm-hm. And what happened on new year’s is never going to happen again. Ever.

Grace: Paris, this place is amazing.

Paris: Right?

Grace: Apparently, everyone would say the same about you. Especially eric forrester. He’s so charming and handsome.

Paris: Mom.

Grace: I’m just saying, it’s obvious he respects you and the work you do. I am so proud of you.

[ Paris giggling ]

Carter: Oh, sorry.

Paris: Oh hey, carter, this is my mom.

Carter: Yeah, uh, hello. Dr. Buckingham.

Grace: Carter. Carter walton. We finally meet.

Carter: It’s a pleasure, dr. Buckingham.

Grace: Please, call me grace. Hard to believe this is our first meeting, carter.

Carter: Well, I’ve heard a lot about you. Distinguished medical professional, admired and adored by both your daughters.

Grace: And I’ve heard a lot about you too… from both my daughters.

Carter: I hope zoe is doing well.

Grace: Yes, she’s very busy. Travelling, working, moving on with her life. And I missed paris, so I’m here in L.A.

Paris: And I love having you here. It’s been a wonderful surprise.

Carter: Yeah, paris has missed having family in town.

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: I don’t want you to feel like I’m leaving you.

Brooke: Oh, gosh, no, I don’t feel like that at all. I mean, you went to a meeting with me. You helped by removing all of the alcohol from the house. You’ve been incredibly loving and supportive. I appreciate that. But really, you’ve got to go to the office.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: You’ve gotta go to work. I…I’m fine. I can be on my own.

Ridge: You’re okay?

Brooke: Yes, I am.

Ridge: You know what I love? That we can say anything to each other, right? No holding back.

Hope: Thank you for offering to help, but what my mother needs right now is stability and security.

Taylor: Okay. And do you think that I’m upsetting that somehow?

Steffy: I think brooke is threatened having you back in town.

Hope: No, no, that’s not what this is about at all.

Steffy: Good, because my father is welcome here anytime. You have to remember he has two families.

Hope: Oh, okay. Well, I thought we were one big family. Isn’t that what we’ve been telling the kids? That we’re all connected? Or has that changed?

Taylor: No, hope, steffy is just explaining the complexity of the situation. Ridge is married to your mom, but we also have children together and we have grandchildren that live right here. And for the time being, so do I. So, ridge and I are going to see each other often. But, hope, I did not come back to L.A. To break up ridge’s marriage to your mother. A lot of people think dealing with copd

Paris: Mom might not be just visiting. She is thinking about relocating to los angeles.

Carter: Really?

Grace: Yes. I’m fielding some interesting offers.

Paris: Yeah, like one at university down the street.

Grace: I haven’t given an answer yet, but I am considering it.

Paris: She’s going to say yes.

Carter: Clearly, paris hopes that you do.

Paris: Yeah, I’d be thrilled.

Grace: That’s what a mother likes to hear.

Carter: I hope everything works out for you.

Grace: Yeah, me too. It would be a great opportunity. Gives me a chance to keep an eye on my girl here. Not that she needs it. My daughters do know how to take care of themselves. They are driven and resilient.

Carter: I know. It’s what made paris such a good choice for her position at the foundation.

Paris: I told you carter recommended me for it.

Carter: And everyone’s grateful that I did. Paris has really supercharged the foundation and integrated philanthropy into so many aspects of the company. We’re lucky to have her. She has a huge fan club here.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Steffy: I didn’t mean for things to get contentious with hope. I try not to do that anymore.

Taylor: Oh, I get it. You both made valid points.

Steffy: It’s just tough, you know, now that deacon’s back.

Taylor: He’s causing trouble for everyone.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s why I’m so frustrated. Hasn’t dad had enough? Brooke just expects him to be okay having deacon over at her house, and he’s constantly reminded of her indiscretion.

Taylor: I don’t think brooke wants anyone thinking about that.

Steffy: Well, she’s not doing anything to stop it. She’s practically throwing it in dad’s face. Inviting deacon over, having him over on new year’s eve, she doesn’t care about dad’s feelings.

Taylor: I understand your frustration, but your dad made his choice a long time ago.

Steffy: Yeah, he made the wrong one. He has to see that. We’re still a family, we’re a wonderful, supportive family, but dad can’t seem to tear himself away from the logans and all of their drama.

Ridge: No matter what’s going on, we can handle this. That’s going to be tough to process because you don’t know exactly what happened.

Brooke: I wanted to be with you. I was excited to spend the new year’s with you, and then when that didn’t happen… my emotion… I lost all control.

Ridge: Well, you’re back in control now. If you need me to be here, I’ll be here.

Brooke: Well, you really do have that appointment to get to.

Ridge: I don’T…

Brooke: I made a mistake. One that will never happen again. I have too much respect for you and for our life together. Thank you. Thank you for being so compassionate and making me feel safe. Supported. I love you so much.

Ridge: Love you. I know this is your battle to fight, but I’m going to be right by your side. I needed to hear that. Napoleon was born and raised to conquer.

Paris: I don’t think the goals for the company and the foundation are exclusive. Look at the hope for the future, for instance, from the very beginning, she’s wanted to make sure her brand made a difference. And I think it really–

Ridge: So, I ran into dad in the building and he said we have a special guest today.

Paris: Ah, yes. Ridge forrester, meet my mom, dr. Grace buckingham.

Ridge: Oh, doctor, a pleasure.

Grace: You too. I have to give you my sincere apologies, just like I did to eric earlier for what happened between my ex-husband and hope and your daughter. Words can’t begin to express how horrified I was at what reese did and the pure agony he’s caused your family.

Ridge: That was in the past. Um, beth is where she needs to be, and we’re trying to focus on more positive things. Like your beautiful daughter here, who I think has shown you around the building already.

Grace: Yes, it was fascinating.

Ridge: See, if we had known you were coming, we would’ve had some flowers–

Grace: Well, it was a surprise. Zende helped set it up. He is a very impressive young man and a fine designer as well.

Ridge: And very fond of your daughter.

Grace: Yes. That’s apparent.

Ridge: So, where are you staying?

Grace: At a hotel–

Paris: With me. I insist. It’s not fancy, but it’s comfortable and it’s close by and with thomas gone, I would love the extra company.

Grace: Wow. More time with my daughter, who can say no to that? Thank you, honey.

Paris: Of course. Did you leave your bag with security?

Grace: Yeah, in one of the offices.

Paris: Well, we can get it on the way out.

Grace: Okay. Well, it was wonderful to meet you all.

Ridge: See you soon.

Carter: Hopefully, we’ll see you again soon.

Paris: You can count on it.

Taylor: Your father knows his own mind.

Steffy: Well, I don’t get it. I really don’T. And I can’t accept it. Yeah, dad made a choice. But you can’t tell me that he’s happy. Really? Arguing with brooke about deacon, being forced to accept him in his life, in his home?

Taylor: Yeah.

Steffy: Come on.

Taylor: No, I know your father is not happy about that.

Steffy: No, he’s not. And maybe I wouldn’t have an issue with it if it was just that. But dad always made concessions to brooke and the logans.

Taylor: Yeah, but he doesn’t see it that way.

Steffy: Well, you know, it’s weird. It just, it just goes against everything I was brought up to believe. Being a kind human, being, being a good person. It’s like upside down world.

Taylor: It’s all true. It’s all good.

Steffy: Then why isn’t dad with you? You’re a good person. You’re a doctor, you spent your life taking care of others.

Taylor: Well, sure, but honey, those things come with their own reward, it doesn’T…

Steffy: But it doesn’t make a difference to dad. That’s it. I’m co-ceo forrester creations. The company has never been more successful. You have thomas creating amazing designs, carrying on the forrester legacy. Dad should be proud of that, but it’s like he’s not. He’s just… too busy with them. The logans. Why?

Brooke: I don’t need looking after, but thank you.

Hope: Well, you’re welcome. So where was ridge heading off to?

Brooke: The office. And I’m glad he went. Because he doesn’t have to stay here with me. And neither do you, honey.

Hope: Well, I’m here because I want to be, and I know that you would do the same for me.

Brooke: I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I really do appreciate all of your support. Means a lot to me.

Hope: I’m just happy that you’re accepting it and that you’re being open and honest about what you’re going through. And I just want you to know that it is all right to lean on us for support. I mean, we’re here if you need it.

Brooke: Okay, thank you, I will.

Hope: I do have one question, though, and… I-I don’t want it to upset you, but… I need to know.

Brooke: What is it?

Hope: It’s about my dad.

Hope: There’s more going on than I know, isn’t there?

Brooke: I don’t know what you mean.

Hope: You say that you want deacon out of your life, fine. But what I don’t understand is the complete 180, and I am not saying this, mom, to put you on the spot or to make you feel uncomfortable, especially now. But I haven’t heard from my dad since new year’s eve, and now you’re saying that you don’t even want to talk about him.

Brooke: Honey. I need to move forward. It’s not healthy for me to look back.

Hope: Mom. Did you say something to him? Did you tell deacon to stay away?

Brooke: Oh my god. We kissed. You can’t be here anymore. You can’t come here, deacon.

Deacon: What?

Brooke: That’s ridge. He’s pulling in. We gotta– you gotta get out of here. You gotta go. You can’t come back, deacon. Ever!

Hope: Or is this because you drank on new year’s eve? Wait a second, are you… are you blaming dad for you relapsing that night? Because he was gone before that happened, right? I mean, mom, you… you know, you didn’t have to be alone. You could have… you could have called me and I would have gladly been here to support you. I should have been here to–

Brooke: Honey, what happened that night had nothing to do with you.

Hope: I know, it feels that way. It feels like it all began to unravel the minute I invited dad back into our lives, and now he’s gone once again and I haven’t heard from him and I don’t know why. So, mom, please, if… if something happened between you and dad, could you just tell me? Because I really need to know.

Taylor: Brooke is obviously going through something right now, and that’s going to be a priority for your father, but… that doesn’t mean he doesn’t love you or appreciate our family.

Steffy: But brooke and the logans always come first.

Taylor: Yeah, well, he is worried about brooke and hope for good reason. Hope was really stressed about her mom.

Steffy: I don’t want anything bad to happen to brooke. But if she’s in trouble, odds are she brought it on herself.

Taylor: Yeah. Hope’s reaction makes me think it’s something serious.

Steffy: Well, you know what that means, dad’s going to get caught up in all of the drama. I get that he cares about brooke, but it’s like his own happiness doesn’t matter.

Taylor: Honey, I… your father has been happy.

Steffy: No, he’s not. He cannot be happy with this whole deacon situation. It is crazy. It’s absurd. Dad has like no support over there. That’s why I’m so furious. I get that hope needs her father. But hey! I need my dad too. And so does thomas.

Taylor: I know, sweetie, I’m so sorry, and I… I hate that our family was torn apart all those years ago. But, it was also circumstance, bad luck.

Steffy: No, not all of it. It’s not fair. I know you said that you’re staying here for good and… mom, I really hope you mean it. Because I need you. I do. Thomas needs you too. And I know dad does. I really do. Yes, the people you worked with, they counted on you, but that wasn’t the only reason you stayed away. Now that you’re back, I mean, you see what’s happening. This is crazy. And I’m not asking you to compete for a man, that is the last thing I want. Do not want that. But I want you to fight. Fight for your family. And I wouldn’t be saying this if I didn’t think you cared about dad, but mom, come on, it is obvious you love him. It is so obvious. And deep down, I know dad loves you too. So, like whatever is going on over at brooke’s, maybe it’s about deacon. Or maybe it’s some other scandal. If dad’s in harm’s way, we need to get him out of there for his sake. He needs to be with his family. He needs to be with you, me, thomas. Not the logans. Dad needs to be with the forresters.

Nick: Hey, sharon, I got your message. You here?Hell

Surprise!

[ Noisemaker blows ]

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Happy birthday!

[ Cheering ]

Nick: Okay.

[ Laughter ]

Amanda: Okay. You hate it. The movie, it’s convoluted.

Devon: No, it’s — no, it’s fine.

Amanda: Well, then what’s wrong? Are you thinking about the baby?

Devon: No, just — no. I’m thinking about work a little bit, just ’cause I’ve been neglecting hamilton-winters lately.

Amanda: No, no, not neglecting. You’ve had a lot on your mind, and it’s understandable. You have a really big decision to make about dominic.

Devon: Yeah, I know that. But it’s still the company that I built with neil. I can’t just let it fall apart. Just — just got to get my head together, that’s all.

Amanda: Yeah, I know. I understand all of that, and i hear everything you’re saying. But I can’t help thinking that it’s still about dom.

Chance: What’s that smile for?

Abby: I was just listening to you read dom a bedtime story. “Chugga choo choo” — mm, really put some feeling into it. It was adorable. I hope you don’t mind that I was listening. I didn’t mean to intrude.

Chance: No, it’s fine. It’s probably better that way, right? I have some back-up.

Abby: No, no, it wasn’t like that.

Chance: It’s cool. Don’t worry about it. I’m gonna go make some tea, okay? I’ll be right back.

[ Cheering ]

Nick: Okay, you guys got me. I was not expecting this.

Noah: Well, we wanted to do something for your birthday on your birthday, but you took off to milan, so we decided to do it now.

Mariah: And we couldn’t let summer be the only one to celebrate you.

Sharon: And rey had to work tonight, but he says the next round of beers is on him.

Nick: Well, I’m touched that you all went to this trouble.

Faith: That’s what family’s for.

Nick: Thanks, kiddo. Moses, tessa, my kids are obligated to be here, you know, but you two chose to be here, and that means a lot.

Tessa: Oh, wouldn’t miss it.

Moses: Yeah, excited to be here. And devon’s passing on his best wishes, along with some light ribbing.

Nick: Oh, no, no, no. This is a birthday party, not a roast.

Well…

Faith: Actually…

Nick: What?

Faith: A roast sounds like a lot more fun, doesn’t it? Otherwise, the only jokes told here tonight will be your lame dad ones, and what kind of party is that?

Tessa: It’s hard to argue with that logic.

Mariah: Yeah.

Nick: Yeah, are you guys all ganging up on me? And you — you set me up for this?

Sharon: I was only in charge of the venue and the menu.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: Right. I just remembered I’ve got this very important root canal I got to —

Mariah: Oh, hey, hey.

Faith: Nice try, nice try.

Mariah: No, no, no. Have a seat, birthday boy.

Nick: [ Sighs ] And a crown.

Noah: So pretty.

Nick: Thank you.

[ Blows noisemaker ]

[ Laughter ] Nyquil severe gives you powerful relief

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Nick: Yeah, so I’m gonna be later than I thought. Sharon and my kids ambushed me with a surprise birthday party. I’m not sure what I’ve signed up for, so…

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, thank you, monique. That’s very sweet of you. I’ll see you when I get home, and just give christian a hug for me. Okay, thank you. Well, I’m glad christian’s gonna be sleeping through this one. You know, he’s still at the age where he thinks his dad can do no wrong, and I plan on keeping him there for as long as possible.

Sharon: Well, seems like that strategy’s working because all we heard about was how great dad is the whole time he was staying with us.

Nick: I’m sure. And you agreed with everything he said, right?

Sharon: Oh, naturally.

Nick: [ Inhales sharply ] I don’t know, I don’t like the looks of that. I mean, my kids say it’s gonna be a roast.

Tessa: Mm-hmm.

Nick: I don’t have anything to worry about, right?

Moses: Well, I’m sworn to secrecy.

Tessa: Yeah, I’ll just say i wouldn’t get too comfortable. I’d be afraid.

Moses: Very afraid.

Abby: Thank you.

Chance: Too hot?

Abby: No, no, it’s perfect. Thank you. Actually, can we talk about before? I know it’s been a long day, but I just — I don’t want you to think that I was checking up on you or that I don’t think that you’re capable of reading our son a bedtime story.

Chance: The story I can do, it’s — it’s the other stuff.

Abby: [ Scoffs ] You do everything a father does. You love and take care of our son. That is a father, and that is everything.

Chance: But is it enough?

Abby: Chance, look, I — i know that feeling of not feeling like you’re enough. I couldn’t carry our son, so we had to get a surrogate. I couldn’t keep him and mariah out of danger. I couldn’t even nurse him after he was born. So, yes, I understand that need to — to want, to actually need to do more.

Chance: But you did everything you could, abby.

Abby: But, at the time, it ached. Even before dominic was born, i wanted to give him the whole world. And I always will. But what I’ve learned is that parenting is a journey. There’s no endpoint. You just got to keep going, both of you — the parent and the child. And there’s no one right way to do things that somehow no one told you about. Your way is the right way because you love him.

Chance: [ Sighs ] You must be so worn out, looking after your son and your husband.

Abby: Hey. I can honestly say that you and dominic are the greatest gifts of my life.

Chance: But you shouldn’t have to deal with my problems.

Abby: Why? You have to deal with mine. Isn’t that what marriage is all about? Doing life together as a team? Look, I am gonna go take a shower. But I can turn it into a bubble bath for two if you’d like to join.

Chance: [ Chuckles ]

[ Exhales sharply ] How about a rain check?

Abby: Always.

Chance: [ Sighs ]

Noah: Alright, take a seat, old man.

Nick: Oh, man.

Faith: Don’t stress, dad. We all came here tonight to celebrate you because we all love you and think you’re the best dad in the whole world. Not to say you can’t be overprotective at times. I feel sorry for anyone who’s ever hurt my feelings, teased me, or looked at me weird. We all remember danny obermeyer.

Moses: Wait, who’s he? Like, an ex-boyfriend or something?

Faith: He was a second-grader that tripped me during a soccer game. He got the “newman death glare,” and I don’t think he’s ever been the same.

Moses: Wait, what’s the “newman death glare”?

Nick: It’S…nothing. They’re exaggerating. It’s just a minor look of disapproval. You’ve never seen it. Don’t worry about it.

Noah: Yeah, you better hope you never do.

Mariah: I mean, maybe you should give him a taste, just in case he ever steps out of bounds.

Nick: Nah, it’s not gonna be necessary.

Tessa: I mean, I’d like to see it.

Mariah: Come on.

Tessa: It’s like you’re looking through me.

[ Laughter ]

Moses: That is legit terrifying.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Well, that’s the point. You know, there was this one year where a teenager stole noah’s bucket of halloween candy.

Noah: Oh, yeah, and then dad, he chased him down for like three blocks and dragged him back by the scruff of his neck and made him apologize.

Nick: I think we all learned a very valuable lesson that day.

Tessa: Don’t mess with your kid?

Nick: You got it.

[ Laughter ]

Faith: You may go overboard sometimes, but we all know it’s because you’d do anything for the people that you care about. And we’re all lucky to have you looking out for us. I love you, dad.

Nick: I love you.

Faith: Mm.

Mariah: Well, well, that was very sweet and all. But now it’s my turn, and I’m not gonna be that easy on you.

[ All groan ] Yo you ready?

Mariah: Alright, everybody, hold onto your seats because we are about to take a dive into nick newman’s love life.

Sharon: No!

Mariah: Yeah.

Sharon: Do we have to go there?

Mariah: We do.

Nick: Really? I mean, I guess it’s fair game. A lot to skewer me about, but i don’t have a love life right now, so [Blows noisemaker]

Mariah: Oh, well, we all know that that’s not gonna last very long.

Sharon: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: Because he’s a hopeless romantic.

Tessa: Oh, yeah, well, look who’s talking.

Mariah: I will admit that, up until recently, I was a hardened cynic, and given noah’s recent attitude, I mean, I guess it runs in the family, so maybe that’s what you need, though. You need two world-weary, jaded spirits to, I don’t know, screen your future dates. It’s not a bad idea.

Nick: No, no, that’s a hard pass. Sorry.

Noah: Come on. What, you don’t trust us?

Nick: I am not gonna be dating for a while.

Faith: Yeah.

Mariah: Oh, sure.

Nick: I’m serious. Not happening.

Mariah: Well, there’s nothing wrong with being in love with love. It’s because you have such a wide, open heart. You know, it’s one of the reasons why you were able to accept cassie and me into your family, so there are no complaints here. Happy birthday, nick.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Thank you. Hug it out?

Mariah: Yeah.

Nick: Alright.

[ Laughter ]

Noah: Okay, okay, my turn. Well, I’m glad that I can be back in town to watch my dad grow old — er, older.

Mariah: Wow!

Nick: Careful. I mean, careful. I’m pretty sure I could still beat you in basketball.

Nick: Oh, I’m sure that you could, but that’s just ’cause i haven’t played in like, what, 10 years.

[ Laughter ] No, but that’s what I love about you. You know, you were always at all my games, cheering me on when i was a kid. And as my interests grew into areas that were way out of your expertise, you were with me every step of the way. All the photography shows, art installations. I know I wasn’t the only one that was receiving that kind of encouragement. You did the same for summer when she found her love for fashion.

Faith: You started listening to tigirlily when you found out I liked them.

Nick: I genuinely like their music.

Faith: Yeah, I know that because I can hear you singing them in the shower, which is almost enough to make me stop liking them.

[ Laughter ]

Noah: Our dad is proof that no father can be too involved in his children’s lives.

Nick: Does that mean you’re gonna accept my job offer?

Sharon: What job offer? You want to hire noah?

[ Jazz music playing ]

[ Baby crying ]

Devon: Amanda, do you hear that? Amanda?

[ Music stops ] Hello? Is that dominic? Dom!

[ Baby crying ] Dominic! I got you. Hang on. Daddy’s coming.

Amanda: Devon? Hey, devon. Hey. You okay? I think you were having a bad dream.

Devon: It was awful.

Mariah: Uh, does anybody want to help me with the birthday cake?

Faith: Yep.

Moses: Yeah, right behind you.

Sharon: So, nick.

Nick: Yes, I offered a job working with me at new hope.

Sharon: Oh. Is that what you meant when you said you were hoping to offer him some kind of stability? Is he gonna be doing design work for you?

Nick: No, it’s something completely different. I actually want him to run the entire organization with me. I’m really hoping to expand. Now, I know it’s a big shift, you know, working at new hope, from, like, doing art installations in london museums, but I think noah’s looking for something that will give him some meaning in life, and that’s certainly what new hope has done for me. He’s got a great head on his shoulders, real big heart. Plus, I think this could get him some healing from whatever it is that happened to him while he was away.

Sharon: But he hasn’t given you an answer yet?

Nick: No, not yet. I know he still has adam’s job offer that he’s taking in consideration, you know, the one that you were pushing him to accept.

Sharon: I didn’t push him to accept it. I just asked him not to rule it out solely because it was coming from adam. I, of course, want our son to do whatever’s best for him, and selfishly, whatever keeps him in town.

Nick: Same. This gives him two great options, you know, to choose from. But hopefully, he does decide to stay in genoa city for a very long time.

Tessa: Well, tonight’s so fun. Nick seems to be having a great time.

Noah: Yeah.

Tessa: And he seems to be so happy to have you back.

Noah: Yeah, I’m not gonna lie, it’s nice to be surrounded by the family again. Speaking of which, how are the baby plans coming along?

Tessa: Well, I mean, we just started. We have been looking into adoption.

Noah: That’s amazing. Really, I mean, that’s gonna be one really lucky kid — or kids. You know, who knows?

Tessa: Well, let’s take it one step at a time, but I’m excited.

Noah: Congratulations.

Tessa: Thank you. And just for the record, nick isn’t the only one that’s glad to have you back. It’s really nice having my friend so close by.

Happy birthday to you

happy birthday to you

happy birthday, dear nick

happy birthday to you

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Thank you.

[ Laughter ]

Devon: [ Sighs ] It was dominic.

Amanda: What happened?

Devon: He was crying. He was — he was — he kept crying and crying, and I was looking for him. And I couldn’t find him. He was — he needed me, and i wasn’t there for him.

Amanda: Doesn’t go away. When you were little and you couldn’t count on your mom.

Devon: No. This is a different thing.

Amanda: Babe.

Devon: What?

Amanda: You were there. You were that child that someone couldn’t get to for whatever reason. You needed a parent, and they weren’t there. Trust me, I know because that’s my story, too. And I know that you probably promised yourself a million times to be better, to be different, that your child would never feel alone or afraid.

Devon: Yeah. But I don’t have a child, according to the world. So…

Amanda: Well, your heart says otherwise. You have so much love and kindness inside of you, and you share that with everyone around you. You did not even hesitate to help abby and chance build a family, and that was just the love that you have for a friend. Now you love that baby. Of course you want to protect him.

Devon: What if he’s not mine to protect, and that’s why i couldn’t find him in my dream? ‘Cause I’m not meant to.

Amanda: Is that how you really feel? Better skin from your body wash?

“The young and the restless” will continue.

Noah: That is a lot of candles.

Faith: Yeah, is it getting hot in here?

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: I mean, I think we should have a fire extinguisher just in case.

Tessa: Oh, she’s kidding, she’s kidding.

Nick: Okay, does anybody have anything else they would like to say?

Moses: Nope. I don’t want any part of the “newman death glare.”

Nick: No, you don’T.

[ Laughter ]

Sharon: Yeah, let’s lay off the old guy.

Nick: You too? You traitor.

Sharon: Sorry.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Alright, well, do the honors.

Nick: [ Blowing ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Faith: What’d you wish for?

Nick: Uh…I got to keep that to myself.

Mariah: Oh, come on, you can tell us. I mean, the roast portion of the evening is over. I swear.

Nick: I have three wishes — cake, champagne, and presents.

Mariah: Uh…

Nick: Really, no presents?

Sharon: Oh, of course there are presents. Just sit down, have some cake. We’ll bring them out to you.

Mariah: We got you.

[ Laughter ]

Chance: [ Sighs ]

[ Explosion ]

[ Rattling, clanging ]

[ Rumbling ]

Abby: Oh, shh, shh, shh. It’s okay, it’s okay. Mommy’s got you. Ohh, I’m sorry I didn’t hear you. Mommy was in the shower. Shh, yeah, and daddy probably fell asleep, so he didn’t hear you either. But it’s okay ’cause mommy is here right now. Yes, let’s just snuggle for a little bit, and then off to sleepy time. My little baby. Shh, shh, shh, shh. Oh.

Amanda: Did you mean what you said? Do you really want to take a step back from dom?

Devon: I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m thinking these days, ’cause, like, I’ll — I feel like I’m doing what’s best sometimes, and then I feel like I’m just doing what’s best for me. Nobody else. ‘Cause I have this natural instinct to look after dominic, and I think about him and i worry, and…I’m dreaming about him now. And… I don’t know, I just… I know that chance needs time so he can — he can get his head right and focus on being a dad, but then I don’t even want to just, like, fill in until he’s ready for that, I want to be there all the time for the rest of my life. And I don’t know if that’s selfish to feel like that.

[ Sighs ]

Amanda: No. No. Absolutely not. Listen, I know that I have my own issues wrapped up in this, but it is not selfish to want to give that child all of the love in the world. Every child deserves to be loved and protected. They deserve someone who wants to be there, someone who dreams about them. There’s nothing wrong with that. Dru and neil, they gave you that. You felt that love, so now you want to pass that on, and that love, that is — it’s the most important thing in the world. So I’m not gonna let you feel like there is something wrong with that. Okay?

Nick: Are you kidding me? Courtside tickets to the bucks.

Sharon: Wow.

Nick: These are impossible to get and very expensive. How’d you pull this off?

Mariah: Well, it definitely helps having a famous pop star for a girlfriend. We can pull a few strings.

Nick: I am blown away.

Mariah: You’re welcome.

[ Chuckles ]

Nick: Thank you.

Mariah: Top that.

Noah: Geez, I don’t know if i can.

[ Laughter ] But, uh, here you go, dad.

Nick: Alright. Ah, wine. And you went with the personal touch.

Noah: I did, actually. Yeah, I designed a bespoke label in honor of the underground.

Nick: This is super cool, son. Thank you.

Noah: Happy birthday.

Moses: Well, here’s a little something.

Faith: Oh.

Nick: Alright.

Moses: Devon helped me pick it out.

Nick: Okay.

Moses: It used to be our dad’s favorite. It’s retro — acid jazz from the ’90s.

Nick: Did you hear that? The ’90s are retro.

Sharon: As if.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: Thank you, moses. I love it.

Moses: You’re welcome.

Faith: Here you go.

Nick: Alright. I am crushing it in presents right now.

[ Laughter ]

Faith: It’s a collection of photos of the both of us.

Nick: Really? Faith, this is great. Thank you.

Faith: Oh, that’s not all. There’s also a book of dad jokes in case you’re ready for some fresh material. God knows the rest of us are.

Mariah: Absolutely.

Nick: Okay, point taken. Point taken.

Sharon: Here is a basket of your favorite muffins.

Nick: Okay. Look at all these delicious items, and with cake. I mean, you trying to fatten me up for the kill?

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Is that an option?

Sharon: Okay, you two. And there is one last gift that christian helped me pick out. Speaking of the ’90s…

Nick: Oh, boy. Oh, man! This reminds me of my favorite shirt.

Sharon: It might actually be your favorite old shirt because I found it in a vintage shop.

Nick: Do you remember how crushed I was when I lost this?

Sharon: You talked about it for weeks.

Nick: More like months.

Sharon: So, when I saw that in the store, I just had to get it for you. It brought back some nice memories for me, and I thought it would for you, too.

Nick: I’m gonna wear it tomorrow. Put on some of my old jeans. Grunge was everything in the ’90s, you guys.

Faith: It’s back in style, dad.

Nick: Wow.

[ Laughter ] Well, thank you. They’re all perfect.

Sharon: Glad you like them. Plaque psoriasis, the burning, itching.

Nick: Alright. I just want to thank you all for a very special night. Yeah, I’m getting to the age where I don’t really want to be counting the years that I have.

[ Laughter ] But thank you for reminding me of how old I really am.

Noah: Happy to be of service.

Mariah: Not a problem.

Nick: It’s also nice to be reminded of how amazing my kids are and my friends. And I’ve got it really good.

Faith: Uh-oh, you’re getting sappy with your advanced age.

Moses: Yeah, you gonna cry, old man? Uh-oh, what have I done?

Faith: He’s kidding, I think.

[ Laughter ]

Moses: Whew!

Tessa: Well, age is just a number, but you know what makes everyone feel young? Some retro music. That’s what this party needs.

Sharon: Oh, great idea. Yeah.

Mariah: Alright, what do you got?

Tessa: Alright.

Sharon: Oh, I like that.

Mariah: Oh.

Sharon: Okay. Mm-hmm.

Mariah: Get on board.

Tessa: Yeah?

[ Indistinct conversations ]

Abby: Did you fall asleep?

Chance: Oh, yeah, I, um… I just got a little lost in my head, dozed off.

Abby: That’s what I figured. Well, dom woke up. I think he wanted the sequel to chugga choo’s story.

[ Chuckles ] But I put him back to sleep. We should get some rest, too. Coming up?

Chance: Yeah, can we just sit for, like, a second?

Abby: Yeah.

Mariah: “Why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they go golfing? In case they get a hole in one.”

Nick: Boom.

Mariah: [ Laughs ]

Faith: I’m starting to think the dad joke book was a bad idea.

Mariah: Okay, just one more, one more. Okay. Um…let’s see. Ah. “What do you call a fish wearing a bow tie? So’fish’ticated.”

Faith: Please make it stop.

[ Laughter ]

Nick: No, more, more.

Faith: Please. Oh, god.

Mariah: No.

Nick: Hey, I don’t mean to put you on the spot, but have you given any thought to working with me at new hope?

Noah: I’m really impressed you guys have done over at new hope — I really am — but accepting your offer would mean backing out of newman media, and I don’t think grandpa and adam would be too stoked about that.

Nick: I think they might understand it more than you think, especially your grandpa. He is really big on the father-son bonding thing. He might really appreciate it if we were working together as a team.

Noah: Look, I’m not saying no, okay? But can you just give me a little bit more time to consider the offer?

Faith: Oh, my gosh, you and tessa are having a baby?!

Mariah: Um, well, we’re very early on in the adoption process and getting all the information. You know, it’s — it’s probably gonna be a long while off, so…

Tessa: Well, I thought we agreed that today was just about nick.

Mariah: I know, I know we did, but faith started talking about making a hat of the extra bows and ribbons, and that got us on the baby shower track, and then about babies, and…it just slipped out. I’m sorry. It was supposed to be about you, nick. I apologize.

Nick: Do not apologize for that. I mean, the family getting bigger is, like, the best news ever.

Faith: I will babysit whenever you want.

Moses: Yeah, and I can help, too. I’ve had a lot of practice with dominic.

Mariah: Oh, wow. Well, you know, of course we would love you to, if you’re not in college by then.

[ Laughter ]

Faith: Wait, you knew the whole time, mom?

Sharon: I’ve only known for a short while, and it wasn’t my secret to tell. I’m very happy for both of them, though. The world is full of make or break moments.

Faith: So what exactly did you tell your mom about me when you went home for the holidays?

Moses: All good things.

Sharon: Here’s some cake for you to bring home to amanda and devon.

Moses: Thanks. And thank you for including me in the party tonight.

Sharon: Of course, yeah. We’re happy to have you.

Moses: Bye.

Sharon: Bye.

Mariah: So how was summer enjoying married life and parenthood?

Nick: She’s doing great. I’m so proud of the way she’s handled all these changes in her life. I mean, she is killing it over there, and little harrison has absolutely stolen her heart.

Mariah: Well, I completely understand that.

Tessa: Well, we are definitely going to have a lot more time to prepare than summer did for parenthood, because, wow, there is just so much to do just in the first stages of the adoption process. We’re gonna have to do home interviews and so much paperwork.

Nick: Well, I’m sure it’s all gonna work out.

Tessa: Yeah, definitely.

Mariah: No doubt.

Sharon: Hey, you leaving?

Noah: Yeah, unless you need me to hang back and clean.

Sharon: No, I think I can handle it myself, and, you know, besides, you’re looking a little tired.

Noah: Yeah, worn out from all the dancing.

Sharon: Hmm.

Mariah: Oh, my god, that’s hysterical.

Noah: Good night, mom.

Sharon: Good night.

Nick: You two.

[ Laughter ] Too much.

[ Laughter ]

Mariah: Too much of something, I’ll tell you.

Abby: Oh, I have got to get under the covers. Do you want to go check on dom one more time before we go to bed?

Chance: I’d love that.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I don’t want to make any decisions tonight. I’m too tired. And I think I understand what that dream was about — it’s just the fear that all parents have. But I’m not gonna make life changes based on a dream.

Amanda: Okay. You do what you need to do. You take your time. I’m gonna head out, though, okay? So if you want to talk of if you just want to sleep, I’ll be up there waiting, okay?

Devon: Okay.

Amanda: Night.

Devon: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: Good night, girls. Love you.

Tessa: Good night.

Mariah: We’ll be upstairs if you need anything, okay?

Nick: Thank you again for the tickets and the good-natured insults.

Mariah: Anytime. Love you, mom.

Tessa: Bye.

Mariah: See ya.

Nick: Good night.

Sharon: So, good party?

Nick: It was perfect.

Sharon: Hey, wait a minute. You are the guest of honor. There’s no way you’re gonna help clean up.

Nick: Well, it’s my party, i can clean up if I want to.

Sharon: Oh. [ Laughs ] Dad jokes. I think you’ve hit your quota for the night.

Nick: Yeah, thanks to faith, I have an unlimited supply.

Sharon: Oh. Did you see her with moses? The two of them are so smitten with each other.

Nick: They’re pretty adorable, and it was awesome to see mariah and tessa in such a great place, too.

Sharon: Yeah. You know, when they first told me they had plans to adopt, i was a little bit worried. I know there’s so many possibilities for delays and problems, and you hear all these stories about people having their hopes dashed. And mariah’s been so fragile, but, you know, I think that she’s getting stronger every day. Did you notice that she barely reacted when moses brought up dominic’s name?

Nick: I did see that, and i noticed that you were paying very close attention, as well. I mean, we’re never gonna be done parenting, are we?

Sharon: Never. Um…by the way, what did noah say about the job?

Nick: He hasn’t given me an answer, but I’m feeling good about it.

Sharon: Okay, me too. I mean, I am still worried about him, but I think you’re right, he needs a new direction.

Nick: I’m confident he’s gonna find it.

Sharon: Like you did. You seem a lot more at peace with yourself since you’ve come home from milan.

Nick: Well, I realize that i have everything I need to be happy. My family is my touchstone.

Sharon: I saw a lot of that in action tonight.

Nick: Well, I want to thank you for putting this whole evening together. I loved it. We really have created something special with our kids, haven’t we?

Sharon: And it’s only getting stronger.

Nick: That’s what I wished for.

Sharon: I knew that. I know you pretty well.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Thanks for agreeing to come back here with me. I mean, I didn’t feel much like having this conversation in the hospital. Can I — can I offer you something to drink? Are we gonna do this or not? Curtis, please. Please, take it easy. This — this isn’t easy for me. You know what isn’t easy? Growing up without a father and thinking he’s dead, and then finding out that he didn’t die, but that he simply walked out on his family, leaving them on their own. So why don’t you stop procrastinating and tell me the truth? Where you been all this time?

[ Humming ] You hungry?

[ Sighs ]

[ Groans ]

[ Knock on door ] I’m not here. Oof! This better be important. Okay. So how does this work?

[ Scoffs ] This was your idea.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah, it was, but just because it was my idea doesn’t make it a good idea. I don’t really know what I’m doing. Okay. First, we arm ourselves with a drink. Okay. Then we establish a forward operating base at the end of the room with a nearby base camp at a table for tactical retreat. You’re funny. You make it sound like a battle. Stick with me and you’ll learn dating is war.

One million nights ago okay. Well, what’ll it be? Oh, I’m not sure tikis suit the occasion. Agreed. No colorful drinks with equally colorful umbrellas or pineapple wedges or anything frou-frou. Mm. If ever there was a time for straight-up whiskey, it’s drinking to the memory of luke spencer. How did you get in my house? Oh, spencer and his charming girlfriend invited me in. They’re in the kitchen right now, making tea. I do apologize if I surprise you. Why would you apologize? We both know you planned it.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Why is this pink? Because a beer makes you look like a knuckle-dragger. Oh. And a martini is too threatening. And what does pink say about me? A cosmo says that you’re comfortable with your sexuality and you can have fun, but not too much fun. Right. Not too much fun. So how do we mingle? You’ve never done this? How did you meet women in…pautauk? Square dances. It’s true.

[ Chuckles ] And church bazaars.

[ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckling ] There was a time in my life when I made a decision that I was more comfortable around gentle woodland creatures than I was around humankind, male or female. But that’s over now, and I’m in. I’m a volunteer, and I’m your wingman. So wherever you go, I’m ready to follow. You’re not going. Ah, you take point. No, you — ladies first. Truly. I insist. Okay.

[ Chuckles ] We are [Laughs] Two accomplished, bold-faced names comfortable in high-pressure environments. We can navigate a night out at a club on our own. Right? Absolutely.

[ Mellow music playing ] I spoke with anna. She’s keeping an eye on robert. Oh, poor robert. He must be devastated. Yeah, I heard him singing “waltzing matilda” in the background. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Depends. Was he singing in key? Really? At least he’s feeling no pain.

[ Sighs ] Oh, boy. First holly, then sean, now luke. Oh, honey, so much loss. Mom, what can I do? Oh, you’re doing it, sweetheart, just by being here with me. I know that you and luke were close at one point. Ah. Luke wasn’t always that easy to get along with, but he was there for me when it counted. I can’t help but think about lulu. She’s going to wake up one day and ask about her dad. What are we gonna tell her? Laura will have the right words. Still as feisty as ever, I see. And you are just as brazen and smarmy. I heard you cut yourself an immunity deal by throwing your partner, peter august, under the bus. Well, the wsb’s priority was always peter. I was just happy to do my part for the greater good. I’m sure that deal served no one better than you. The wsb snared one snake by releasing another one. Oh, I applaud your way with words. I’m sure that helped you get elected, madam mayor. What do you want, victor? Well, you mean aside from the pleasure of your company? Oh, all in due time. I’m not going anywhere. Marshall: I get it. You’re angry. You have every right to be. But, curtis, I gotta tell you, I’m getting — I’m getting real tired of you coming at me with this attitude. I’m getting tired of you dodging the truth. You didn’t want to talk at the hospital. You didn’t want to talk on the ride over. And now we’re here at the private place that you wanted. You want to talk about my attitude? Marshall, you may be my biological father. You don’t know me at all if you think I’m putting up with this. That’s not what I’m saying. Then what

are you saying? But don’t tell me that you’re changing your mind about telling me what you’ve been up to all this time. You know what? Why did I even bother? I’m thinking I’m gonna come here and you’re gonna tell me something different than all those other nights when you — when you coughed up these vague excuses instead of the truth. And don’t even tell me I’m better off not knowing. You know what? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. You — I-I thought I could do this. Really? So you just — it’s all of a sudden safe to speak? It’ll never be safe, man. Never. Is wiley okay? He’s fine. Oh. I’m not sure you are. No, it’s just a headache. I’ll live. Then may I come in? It’s important. Isn’t it always? Okay. You got five minutes. Six if you leavecarly’s name out of it. I’ve come to apologize. I’m sorry I couldn’t honor my promise not to tell anyone about you and sonny. And I’m sorry for accusing you of setting me up at the hearing. Ah! So you believe that I meant to stay out of carly and sonny’s marriage, even if I was found guilty of fraud and identity theft? I do. Well, I suppose you feel better having said all that. A little. At least that makes one of us. Carly: You’re cooking. Yeah. You know, there wasn’t any food in the kitchen at the penthouse, and I-I-I missed this. So, um, can you do me a favor? Can you just taste this? I’m not hungry. Y-yeah, I know, but I’m not gonna make you a plate. I just want you to taste, see if I need anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there we go. Could use some more sugar. Yeah? Mm-hmm. Yeah, well, you know, I thought I was being too conservative with the sweet stuff. You know what I mean? Uh… how about some mozzarella or some, uh, you know, parmesan? I’m really tired, sonny. I-I just really want to go — okay. You know what? There’s — there’s also — there’s also some — some bread warming up in the oven. Guess where it’s from. Eckert’S. I can cut you, like, some mozzarella. I can melt it, and then, you know — or parmesan, whatever you want me to give you A… you know what I mean, right? Some wine — you want some wine? I’ll do whatever you want. Okay. You know what? We can just forget the, um… …forget the bread and cheese. Can we just sit down and just talk? Or are we too far gone for even that?

I can’t imagine there’smuch here to interest you. Oh, my family’s here. You and your brothers put port charles through hell. And I haven’t forgotten. I’ve lived with that mistake every day of my life since. Not everyone was so lucky. It was a — a terrible waste and an ugly stain on the cassadine legacy. I-I hope someday the cassadines will be remembered for better deeds. Like how to fake one’s death to avoid justice? Well, my work required anonymity and a — a free hand.

[ Laughs ] Dare I ask what kind of work you were up to? Well, it’s simple, really. I work for atonement. You keep telling me it’s not safe for me to know the truth about you. Alright. Curtis, you need to understand how dangerous it can be for you if you learn everything about me. I’m not the same little boy you left behind over 30 years ago. I’ve learned to take care of myself. Nah. No. No. Right. Don’t come near me or my family again. What? Wait, wait. Okay. Alright. I, um… I got into trouble. I got into trouble and left my family before my trouble became yours. Willow, you don’t owe me an apology. I put you in an impossible situation when I made you promise not to tell anyone about my relationship with sonny in nixon falls. It was my responsibility to deal with the consequences. I shouldn’t have put that responsibility off on you. And then when you had no choice but to tell the truth, I shouldn’t have asked you to perjure yourself. It could have jeopardized your future with wiley, and he already lost one mother, and I would never be able to forgive myself if he lost another. Are you actually apologizing to me? Yeah. You can save yours. Thanks. You’re welcome. I have a feeling I’ll need to be well-stocked in apologies if michael finds out I came to see you. You know what? Maybe this was just a mistake.

[ Sighs ] I guess neither one of us is hungry. I’m just cooking ’cause I want to distract myself. From us? Yeah, from us and… have you talked to your mom? No. She left me a voicemail, but I haven’t listened to it yet. Why? Laura came by. It’s luke. What? Um… he died. What? Yeah, it was an accident, but I don’t know anything specific. She didn’t say anything else. Oh, my god. I gotta… well… …I gotta call my mom. Yeah, but I-I talked to, uh, lucas. He said bobbie went to bed early and he gave her something to help her sleep. So maybe you don’t want to disturb her. Ugh! Why don’t you go up and see avery and donna, and I’ll just clean up. I’ll — I’ll take care — I can’t! I can’t! You can’t what? I can’t do this! I can’T… I can’t act like our life isn’t falling apart.

Port charlesseeking redemption. Good luck with that. Oh, you’re a force to be reckoned with in port charles, madam mayor. Your word carries enormous weight. I will never advocate for you, victor. Oh, now, “never” is a strong word, laura. You know, I — I knew that just one conversation would probably not be enough to convince you of my good intentions. So I’m prepared to wait. For the moment, I’ll focus on smaller things.

One, two, three, four

hair down, high, high heels

going out on the scene

pink dress

and a purse to match

looking like a beauty queen so, uh… you come here often? One time at band camp, I was playing the tuba… no, no, no! That — that — that’s a joke. I’m joking!

[ Laughs ]

Feels so good greece? No, I’m — I’m not a fan.

And I want it all,

feels so good… hey. Are you striking out, too? Nope, not even in the game anymore. Just sitting here with my pink drink.

I want a kiss, kiss,

baby, baby, please you looked like you were having fun, though.

Yeah, feels so good

when I get what I need

I want a kiss, kiss,

baby, baby, please to luke. To luke.

[ Mellow music playing ] Wow. Gah! That’s a drink. Um, how much drinking to luke is appropriate? I think just one each is plenty. Yeah. Besides, there’s something I’ve been meaning to talk to you about, uh, but we have to be sober for it. How sober? Well, relatively sober. Is this the same subject you wanted to talk to me about before we got interrupted with the news about luke? It is. Okay, mom. I really don’t think — I’m concerned about you. I know you are, but I’m fine. Maxie, nobody knows you better than I do, and I am concerned that you are not well.

[ Door slams ] Explain “trouble.” Your mother and i were young. We had you and tommy to take care of. At least I was in a band and doing well. Well enough to provide for our family?

[ Chuckles ] Not quite. But the band was getting there — more gigs, classier nightclubs. The brass ring was in sight. Until? Curtis, I-I had this habit of getting involved with things…

[ Sighs ] …That should have been none of my concern, matters that — that drew my focus from my — my music, my family. Criminal matters? I tried. I tried to mind my own business. But I got hung up in it, man. And before I realized how far things had gone, it — it was too late. It was too late. I wasn’t in control anymore. Who was? Another player. Bigger than me. I didn’t stand a chance. And the only way I could keep my family clear of all that I almost brought to their doorstep was to leave — leave, son, and never look back, and take steps to make sure no one ever came looking for me. I guess it worked. ‘Cause no one ever did. We’re not falling apart.

[ Laughs ] Oh, god. If you say so. We may not be in the best place right now, but we’re gonna beat this, carly. Ugh. Can you beat your feelings for nina? I’m gonna outlast them. But that doesn’t matter, because they don’t compare to my feelings for you. You’re who I want. But not the one you turn to. See, you left something out when we were talking about nina earlier — about how she found you drunk at charlie’s pub and she helped you get to the penthouse and then she kept you company. Is that what nina told you? Yeah. And she also said that if you came to her now, she wouldn’t turn you away. I’m gonna take this with me. So, I’m gonna go home. I suggest you do the same thing. Just one more thing. The friction between you and michael is bad for wiley. It is just the situation I wanted to avoid. But if you and i work together, we may be able to prevent the situation from escalating any further. And how do you propose we do that? I will work on lowering the temperature with michael if you give up your legal claim on wiley.

why do you think that I’m not doing well? Is it how I’m parenting georgie and james or doing my job at deception? No. My grandbabies are wonderful, and I hear through the grapevine that you do very good work at deception. Congratulations. That’s wonderful. You’re doing well — maybe too well. Okay, I’m doing so well that I’m not doing well? Peter is out of his coma, and louise is still missing. I get it, mom. You think I should be falling apart. Why aren’t you? Well, I almost did, but then I got a grip. I don’t have the luxury of having a breakdown right now. My kids need me to be strong. And what do you need? Besides louise? Nothing I don’t already have. Which is? The best support system in the world. I have you and mac and anna and robert and liesl and britt and nina. Thank you for my dance. Thank you for inviting me. I really appreciate it. This was fun. And, you know, some other people, too. Like who? Britt: You’re fired. Oh, congratulations, dr. Gatlin-holt. You are the worst wingman ever. Yeah, fair enough. You know, I-I think maybe it was just a bad idea to do this at all and we should just figure out a different way to get your matchmaking mother off your back. Mm. So your mom doesn’t buy you dating services for the holidays? No, she doesn’T. Mm. Not yet. I mean, just ’cause she hasn’t thought of it yet.

[ Laughs ] Then what do you do when she asks you how you’re gonna meet a nice girl? Tell her I already have. So you lie. Mm. You faked your own death. Were the feds involved? Were you in witness protection? I took another name and kept a low profile. Played a few gigs here and there, but always out of the spotlight, bounced around, never staying in one place long enough to make friends, another home, family. Till now. I know it’s a lot to take in, son. And I bet you’ve got a bunch of questions for me, too, don’t you? Just one. That player you mentioned. Mm-hmm. Was it the mob? Doesn’t matter what nina said. I’m not going to her. I’m here with you, and I want to stay with my wife. That’s not what nina said. I don’t care what nina said! Nina said there was moreto nixon falls than I knew…

[ Sighs ] …That things between the two of you got so real that you almost slept together. Nothing ever happened, carly. No, it didn’T. But it almost did. And it didn’t, not because, somewhere in the back of your mind, there was a memory of me calling out to you, telling you to stop. It didn’t happen because nina stopped it. There it is — you’re not here to apologize. You’re here to do michael’s dirty work. I told you, no one knows I’m here. This is all on me and what is best for wiley. And what’s best for wiley is for me to stop being his grandmother? That little boy — he loves me. And you will never even imagine how much I love — nina, I know. And I am not saying that you need to be forcibly separated from him. Oh, my goodness. I think something’s wrong with my hearing, because wiley is my blood relative, and I — and I thought I heard you suggesting that I shouldn’t claim a legal relationship with him. Right. Not now. But if you renounce your claim, michael will see that as a gesture of goodwill, and eventually he’ll understand it’s in all our best interests for you to have a relationship with wiley. Grandparents have legal rights to visitation in new york, and you’re suggesting that I surrender those rights? Yes. But you will not lose your connection to wiley. Ah! Says who? Says me. Spencer: I didn’t expect you home so soon. Well, I’m just full of surprises today, aren’t I? And so are you, inviting your uncle victor into the house. Esme: Is there a reason spence shouldn’t have? I mean, he’s always telling me that you believe family is everything. Oh, and — and so it is. But the last thing I want to do is to upset you, laura. I just wanted to drop by and see spencer before he went into spring ridge. Thanks for the reminder. Oh, come on, now. Buck up, boy, hmm? You incurred a debt. We cassadines never welch on a debt. You’re right. We don’T. Esme : Mrs. Collins, can I, um,pour you some tea? Mr. Cassadine? Oh, thank you, but I believe I’ve outstayed my welcome. But we barely got the chance to talk. Well, perhaps some other time. Stay. Are you sure? Oh, yes, absolutely. Spencer’s gone to all the trouble of making you tea. Look — he’s even brought you cookies. Well, uh, thank you. If you insist. I-I certainly don’t want to impose. You’re not imposing. He’s not imposing, right? No, no, no. Well, the — the fact is, spencer, your grandmother’s had a very taxing day, given the tragic loss to her family.

Are you seeing someone? Why didn’t you tell me?! I’m — I’m not seeing anyone. I mean, I-I… I do see her, you know? If she’s standing right in front of me, then I see her. If we’re in the same room… okay, wait, but — …then I see her. You like her. She likes you. Okay, we are not standing in front of a row of lockers in, like, a middle school hallway. I’m not having this conversation with you. Oh, so instead, you act like you’re single and available. Oh, I am single. But you’re not available. She is not available. So wait. She’s married? No, no. It’s just — it’s — it’s — it’s very complex, and you know what? I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to be having this conversation with you right now ’cause you’re my boss. Um, we’ve been out trying to hook up, and now you’re concerned about propriety? I mean, do I — do I know this person? Does she work at the hospital? I’m not playing 20 questions with you.

[ Scoffs ] Can we stop? Why would you not want me to know who holds the key to your heart? Alright, so if — if you ever decide that you don’t want to be the co-chief of one of the best hospitals in new york state, you could have another career as a romance novelist. Mm. You’re deflecting. I am. You know I’m not gonna stop until you tell me. It’s maxie. Ahh!

[ Laughs ] I like maxie. Okay. I’m sure luke wouldn’t mind — there we go — if we celebrated in our own way. Luke was an iconoclast.

[ Chuckles ] But now that you have procrastinated long enough, answer my question. Who else have you come to rely on? And you need to know this why? Oh, so that I can put him, or her, in my phone tree and send out message alerts about you.

[ Coughs ] You don’t really do that, do you? Oh, yes, I-I call mac. Mac calls robert. Robert calls anna. Anna calls nina. And nina calls liesl. It’s good to have that firewall between anna and liesl, but, um, mom, a phone tree about me? Don’t you think that’s a little extra? Every single one of those people is prepared to drop everything and come running to help you. We are team maxie. So you can see why it’s important to not leave anyone off. The more people on your side, the better. Okay, since I know you won’t leave me alone until I tell you… it’s dr. Gatlin-holt. Austin. If you would like to express your condolences, you should reach out to luke’s partner, tracy. Oh, I intend to do so. But luke was important to you as well — your husband once, father to lulu and lucky. That marriage ended a long time ago. Well, as short-lived as my relationship with luke was, he remained a large part of my life. I don’t live in the past. Clearly, you do. Which is why I aim to make amends. You aim high. Tell us, how do you plan to make it right? Nina: Let me get this straight. Okay, so you’re proposing that I sever the only legal link I have to my grandson in the scant hope that michael, whose only wish is that I drop dead in the ugliest way possible, will eventually deign to let me be near wiley, and he’s gonna do this out of the goodness of his heart? What fantasy world do you live in? I am not saying it will happen overnight, but michael can be reasoned with. He will always do what’s best for our son. I’d like that notarized, please. He’s let you see wiley before, despite carly’s wishes. He will do so again, as long as he sees that you are not a threat to his family. Okay. Alright. If you can say without a shadow of a doubt that michael’s gonna go along with what you say and he’s not gonna use my generosity against me or cut my throat, then maybe — maybe I’ll consider backing down. We got so much to work out, carly, without having to litigate things that never happened. Let’s talk about your refusal to say that what happened between you and nina in nixon falls could never happen again.

[ Laughs ] This is exactly what I wanted to avoid.

[ Tapping foot ] I put the fear of god in nina. So if you’re concerned about that, you should go see her. I don’t think nina would mind if you checked on her. Matter of fact, I think you would like it. Marshall: I’ve said enough. But it sounds to me like you got involved in a criminal organization with a player so powerful that you left your family to believe that you were dead. Now, is there anything else? Am I wrong? Just — just tell me. There’s no need. Look, I’m sorry it took so long for me to tell you, but now — now you’ve gotten the gist of it. Okay, but I need specifics. Haven’t you heard enough, son? It’s just a start, okay? But I can’t do much with it. I need to know about the organizations. I need to know about the participants, the prosecutor, the case. Who was your handler? Why do you need to know all that? You came to port charles. You gave up your cover. You’re a man on the run with no support. I wouldn’t have come back if I didn’t feel it was far enough in the past. But you yourself said it wasn’t safe still. These things, curtis, they — they — they can come back on you. You think you’re done. If you’re not careful, though, they develop a second wind. One call may stop all that. And I have contacts. Who? Your ex-wife?

[ Sighs ] It’s not the law. It’s the opposite. I know some people who can cover all of this. But first, I need to know who you crossed. All I need is a name.

[ Sighs ]

tell us, victor — you talk about atonement and redemption, making amends. Tell us — how are you going to make good? By being here to rebuild my family. A family you haven’t seen in decades. We thought you were dead. Well, it’s never too late to start afresh. In port charles? My family is here, laura. How else would I get to know them better? Or protect them? I knew you were friends with maxie, but I never suspected you were into her. I-I care about her a great deal, okay? Can we please just leave it at that? You — you do know that maxie is no longer in love with peter, right? Yeah, it’s not that at all. It’S… maxie has a lot on her mind. And there’s no room for me in her life. Mm. Well, I mean, who’s to say that can’t change one day, maybe? And if nothing else, you have really great taste. Thanks. Great taste. Terrible timing. Felicia: Austin, huh? Mom, he literally saved my life the night he delivered louise in the woods, and he’s been great ever since, you know, except when he’s fighting with brook lynn. His number? Oh, no, no, no. Austin and I are just friends, and the phone tree — it seems to be just family, so… friends can be just as important as family, sometimes even more so. Is it just me, or does your grandmother have a problem with your great-uncle? Problem? Nah. Try blood feud or vendetta. Either works.

[ Door opens ] I, uh — I do appreciate your suffering my presence. I — I’m sure I was a pretty unwelcome sight. I do hope soon to change that. In the meantime, I’m sure we can find common ground with spencer. Can we? Well, I assume you want what’s best for him, as do I. I think what you want for spencer differs from what I want. Well, I hope to prove you wrong. And as for luke, a tragic loss. I’m truly sorry. Now I know you’re lying. Good night, victor. Mm. Good…bye. Thank you for your offer of help. But I have said all I intend to say. Even though I have the power to save you from ever having to look over your shoulder again? I appreciate that. I truly do. It’s more than I ever dreamed of getting from you. See, you misunderstand. See, you telling your story does not change the history between us. The past is a lie. The present is nothing to envy. Well, and there won’t be a future if you don’t keep talking. See, this is not about helping you. This is about keeping aunt stella and tj safe from whoever is chasing you, no matter how far you think they may be behind you. Well, in that case, I guess there’s nothing left to talk about. Marshall: Curtis. Stop asking questions. Just leave it be. That’s the only way to keep stella and tj safe. Nina, I can’t guarantee that michael will do as I hope. I can promise you that I will try, and I will never stop until michael grants you access to wiley again. Not good enough. Nina, sonny’s family is in so much pain over losing him for nine months. The pain won’t end until someone takes the first step towards healing. And the first stepper should be me. Okay, I get it. I screwed up, willow. I will spend the rest of my life making up for that, but I will not do it at the expense of my relationship with my grandson! I said it would not be permanent. At least sonny knows that I’m not evil incarnate. And I will be damned if I let anyone convince wiley that I am. I told you, I’m not going anywhere. I can’t do this. I — you need to be gone by tomorrow. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What are you — what are you — t-this is my home, carly. I asked you for some time! Right. I asked you for some space and time alone so I could figure this out. You can’t figure it out alone. We got — we have to do this together. Or maybe we don’t figure it out. Look, if — if you’re here in the morning when I wake up, don’t bother leaving, I’ll go. What — I’ll just go. What do you mean you’re gonna go? Where are you gonna go?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ben: So are we gonna open it or are we just gonna keep staring at it?

Ciara: Mmm, I thought you were gonna decide.

Ben: Since when are you okay with me deciding everything for the both of us?

Ciara: Yeah. Good point.

Ben: Good point, right. It’s not like the contents of that envelope could change our life forever or anything.

Ciara: No, not at all. No.

Ben: Not at all. Right.

Ciara: Mm-mm.

Ben: But if we do decide

open the envelope, we decide together.

Ciara: Agreed.

Ben: Agreed.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Good.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: So do we open it?

Ciara: [Sighs]

Paulina: When that pile of glass was about to come raining down on me, you–you called out to me, told me to look out.

Lani: Yeah.

Paulina: Yeah. You called me mom.

Lani: Did I?

Paulina: It happened fast, but I’m pretty sure that’s what I heard.

Lani: Oh, um, hm. I guess I did.

Paulina: Well, I suppose my question is why?

[Door opens]

Tripp: Hey there. I hear someone banged up her ankle tonight. Must’ve been some wedding reception.

Lani: You could say that.

Tripp: So tell me what happened.

Paulina: Johnny dimera happened. I could wring that boy’s neck for hurting my baby. And I would have too if that tacky chandelier hadn’t almost fallen on me.

Tripp: Wait. A chandelier almost fell on you?

Lani: Yeah. Long story.

Tripp: And what did johnny do to chanel?

Paulina: What did he do? Oh, that pompous trustafarian, he broke my daughter’s heart.

Chanel: [Crying] I don’t know what I’d do without you, horton.

[Sniffling] I’m so wrecked, I can hardly stand.

Allie: That’s–that’s what we do for each other. It’s what we’ve always done since london. When the world gets one of us down, we hold each other up.

Chanel: You and me against the world.

Allie: Yeah. You and me.

[Romantic music]

I can’t–I–I can’t do this.

Susan: And why would you call me “grandma” when we both know that you are not my grandson?

Johnny: Of course I’m your grandson. Are you sure you’re feeling okay?

Susan: I am fit as a fiddle. Now that I know why I’m having all those awful, tummy turning premonitions.

Johnny: Hmm. And why is that?

Susan: Oh, because you are not my precious little johnny. He would never do what you did to his wife.

Johnny: What do you mean I’m not johnny?

Susan: I mean you are the mean, mean, mean devil himself. And as god is my witness, I am gonna put an end to your reign of terror once and for all!

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Johnny: Grandma susan, i think you should go lay down. You’re obviously not yourself.

Susan: Don’t you touch me! Don’t you touch me. You’re the one who’s not himself.

Johnny: Don’t be silly. You don’t have to be afraid of me.

Susan: I am not afraid! I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid because I’ve got god on my side.

Johnny: You’re being– you’re being ridiculous. It’s me, your dear, sweet johnny.

Susan: Oh, there is nothing sweet about you. I can smell the brimstone on your breath.

Johnny: What? You’re not– you’re not making any sense.

Susan: Oh, I’m making so much sense. I am because I can feel it. I feel it in my bones. And you–you must’ve jumped out of dr. Marlena evans and into my sweet johnny during the exorcism. And you can’t fool me. You can’T. Not anymore.

Johnny: [Scoffs] Oh.

[Demon voice] I guess you’re not as dumb as you look.

Susan: Oh! It’s you! Beelzebub! I knew it! I knew it!

Demon johnny: Congratulations, susie Q. You figured it out. So now what are you gonna do about it?

Tripp: Johnny dumped chanel at their wedding reception in front of everyone?

Paulina: Hm. I thought nothing could be worse than my wedding to abe, but this was way worse.

Tripp: What did– what did chanel do?

Paulina: Well, she ran out in tears, and I would have chased after her, but–

Tripp: So she’s alone right now?

Lani: No, no. Allie went to find her.

Tripp: That must be why she hadn’t returned my call.

Paulina: Yeah, she’s probably busy consoling my poor girl. Oh, she’s a good friend, that one.

Tripp: Yeah. Yeah, she is. Look, I’ll go get this x-ray ordered, and I’ll give her another call, check and see how she and chanel are doing.

Paulina: Oh, do me a favor, dr. Tripp. Don’t tell chanel anything about my injuries. She’s–she’s got enough to worry about. Mm.

Allie: I’m so sorry.

Chanel: For kissing me or for pulling away?

Allie: I’m sorry about what my brother did to you, but I’m–I’m committed to tripp. Okay?

Chanel: Horton.

Allie: No, I have to go.

[Dramatic music]

[Phone vibrates] Hey.

Tripp: Hey there. I just heard what happened at the reception. Is chanel okay?

Allie: She’s–she’s upset, of course. I mean, beyond upset, she’s furious, heartbroken. But she’ll be all right.

Tripp: You’re with her right now?

Allie: Yeah. I– I just put her to bed.

Tripp: At your place?

Allie: No, I’m at her mom’S. But I’m gonna head home now.

Tripp: Okay. I’ve got to get back to work, but just tell chanel that I’m thinking about her.

Allie: Okay, I will. Um, I’ll see you tomorrow. Love you.

Chanel: Horton, please. Don’t go. Don’t bail on me the way your brother did. As a dj, I know all about customization.

Ben: Here’s what I propose.

Ciara: Hmm.

Ben: We lay out the pros and the cons of opening the envelope in an orderly fashion. And then each of us pick a side and we argue–

Ciara: Oh, let’s just open it!

Ben: Whoa. Are you sure?

Ciara: Yes. No. Yes. I–mm, I don’t know. Maybe.

[Groans]

Ben: Great. So it’s settled then.

Ciara: Oh, why is this so hard, babe?

[Knocking on door]

Ben: Maybe we should just ask whoever’s on the other side of this door.

Ciara: Yes, that is a good a plan as any.

[Sighs]

Ben: Shawn.

Shawn: What’s up? Hey.

Ciara: Amazing. Yes or no?

Shawn: Uh, yes or no what?

Ciara: Just pick one, yes or no.

Shawn: I’ve learned never to give an answer without knowing the question first, so.

Ciara: Fine, be boring. Be that way.

Shawn: Is there a problem? What’s going on? I mean, how was the doctor’s appointment?

Ciara: Good. Better than good. It was perfect. It was great.

Shawn: That’s great.

Ciara: Yeah.

Shawn: So do you have any news?

Ben: Well, we had the sonogram appointment today. And a doctor was able to determine the sex of the baby.

Ciara: Mm.Shawn: That’s excellent! So what’s going on? Am I gonna have a niece or a nephew?

Ciara: Oh, we have no idea.

[Groans]

Chanel: I shouldn’t have compared you to your brother.

Allie: It’s okay. I know how bad he hurt you.

Chanel: No, it’s not okay. You and johnny may be twins, but you are nothing alike. You are kind and thoughtful. And you would never humiliate the person you claimed to love. You would never do that.

Allie: Dupree.

Chanel: Please, don’t tell me not to cry.

Allie: I was just going to say that my brother isn’t worth your tears.

Chanel: I know I took it too far before, but if you could, please, just stay, as friends. I don’t want to be alone tonight.

Belle: [Exhales deeply] Wow.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Belle: I can’t believe johnny would do that to chanel. Man, that is brutal, even by dimera standards.

Ej: First of all, the boy is half brady–

Belle: Half sami brady.

Ej: And what would you have him do, stay in a loveless marriage?

Belle: Of course not. I just wish he would found a more humane way to end things. Or I don’t know, realize he wasn’t ready for marriage in the first place.

Ej: Well, we all can’t be as perfect as you and shawn.

Belle: Wh– hang on. Are you proud of what johnny did?

Ej: Proud?

Belle: Yeah. When I walked in here, you were having drinks with your father. And maybe you and that vampire were toasting to johnny’s cruelty.

Ej: You sound like my mother with all that vampire talk.

Belle: Mm.

Ej: And you don’t seem to mind cashing your sizable retainer from the company that bears said vampire’s name.

Belle: Yes, that reminds me, is chad here? Because I do have contracts for him to sign.

Ej: I’m not the keeper of my brother’s calendar. I have far more pressing matters on my mind.

Belle: Ah, you mean your kidnapping trial starting tomorrow?

Ej: Yes, that.

Belle: Well, from what I understand, the evidence of you abducting sami is pretty flimsy. So I’m sure your attorney will mount a credible defense.

Ej: I don’t have an attorney.

Belle: What?

Ej: I represented myself at the bail hearing. I figured I’d continue to do so at the trial.

Belle: [Scoffs] You have heard the saying, “he who represents himself has a fool for a client.”

Ej: All right then, counselor, why don’t you represent me?

Belle: [Huffs]

Susan: See, everyone thought you were gone, lucifer. But I knew it. I knew that you hadn’t gone back to that fiery pits of h-e double-hockey-sticks where you belong!

Demon johnny: Do you want an award, maybe some ice cream?

Susan: No! I want you gone, devil!

Demon johnny: You know, I’ll give you credit. You are much more clever than one would assume. It’s too bad you won’t live long enough for anyone else in salem to find out.

Susan: See, I’ve faced you before. I am not afraid of you.

Demon johnny: See, now– now you aren’t sounding smart.

Susan: I’m not afraid of you because you can do anything you want with this body, you can, but you can never, ever touch my immortal soul.

Demon johnny: No offense, but who would want to do anything to that body? I mean, it ain’t exactly built for sin, if you know what I mean. Why do you think I had to turn you into kristen dimera in order to seduce john black?

Susan: And how did that work out for you?

Demon johnny: He is a stubborn, stubborn man. I’ll give you that.

Susan: Mm-mm. Mr. John black, he is strong, and he is loving, and he is loyal. Everything that you– you, demon, are not.

Demon johnny: And yet, I’m still here.

Susan: All right. Now what?

Demon johnny: Good question. Um, well, let’s see. I could turn you back into kristen dimera or a cat. Or maybe– maybe I’ll turn you into a bug so I can squash you underneath my cloven hoof. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Tripp: Okay. So we should have the results of your x-rays back soon.

Paulina: So allie said chanel is doing okay?

Tripp: Yeah, she said she just put her to bed, and now she’s headed home.

Lani: A good night’s sleep will help.

Paulina: I bet she doesn’t sleep a wink, ’cause when she wakes up, that heartache will still be there. I got to– I’ve got to be there for her!

Tripp: I understand that, but we need to get this ankle treated first, okay?

Paulina: Well, can’t you just, you know, wrap it up and let me get out of here?

Tripp: Not just yet, okay? I’m gonna go check on your x-rays. Make sure she won’t make a break for it?

Lani: I will do my best.

Paulina: Ooh. Nothing I hate more than feeling helpless.

Lani: I know. And I know how worried you are about chanel. I am too.

Paulina: I remember when she was little, I used to think, “oh, I’ll be so glad when she gets older, so I can worry less.” But you’ll find this out when your twins get older, a mother never stops worrying about her children, all of her children.

Chanel: Horton, I know I made it weird before, but nothing has to happen between us if you stay. I swear. I just– I don’t want to be alone right now.

Allie: Dupree.

Chanel: My whole life was ripped apart in front of everyone I care about, and I just feel sad, humiliated, lost.

Allie: I would never want you to feel that way.

Chanel: Then you’ll stay?

Allie: Yeah. Yeah, of course I’ll stay.

Chanel: [Sighs] Thank you. You have no idea how much this means to me.

Allie: I just have to call nicole and let her know that I’m not gonna be coming home, see if she’s okay with watching henry.

Chanel: Thank you. And I’m–I’m sorry, again, for what I said before.

Allie: I know you didn’t mean it.

Chanel: Sometimes I can’t believe that you and johnny are twins.

Allie: Yeah, me neither. I hate him for what he did to you. I don’t think I’m ever gonna forgive him for it.

Chanel: I thought he loved me. I thought that we were going to spend the rest of our lives together. I don’t understand how I could have been so wrong about him.

Susan: You can make me a bug, but you cannot crush my spirit, because I have the father, and the son, and the holy ghost on my side. Not to mention mr. John black.

Demon johnny: Is that supposed to make me nervous?

Susan: Ugh! It should! It should, because we’re gonna stop you cold and save my poor grandson from this wicked possession of his body.

[Huffs]

[Door slams]

Demon johnny: See–see, now– now you say you don’t care what I do to you, but what about those you love?

Susan: [Whimpers] What do you mean?

Demon johnny: Well, let’s talk about your beloved elvis. Perhaps it’s time I make good on my threat to dispose of him.

Susan: [Stammering] Stay away from him!

Demon johnny: Oh, I don’t want to hurt ej. Like his father before him, he’s always been so willing to do my handiwork.

Susan: Elvis is such a good boy.

Demon johnny: Well, he’s far from good. But if you force my hand, I won’t think twice about walking downstairs and ripping his beating heart out of his chest.

Belle: I can’t represent you.

Ej: Why not?

Belle: I’m dimera’s corporate counsel. That would be a conflict of interest.

Ej: We can get around that.

Belle: Okay. What about the part where you’re being prosecuted for my sister’s kidnaping?

Ej: That’s a plus. My alleged victim’s own sister believes my innocence.

Belle: Who says I think you’re innocent? Besides, chad and shin would never go for that. I’d be fired on the spot.

Ej: You leave chad and the dimera board to me. I’ll make them see that it’s in the company’s best interest to have these ridiculous charges against me dropped.

Belle: Okay. Maybe you haven’t noticed, but the company is doing everything it can to distance itself from you and this case.

Ej: Cowards.

Belle: I’m just saying, they’re not gonna want me anywhere near it.

Ej: I don’t know about that. What if you’re my best chance at making this whole thing go away?

Belle: I think you’re asking the wrong question. Even if by some miracle the board did approve it, what makes you think I’d want to represent you?

Shawn: Okay, so do either one of you have a preference as to whether or not you want a boy or girl?

Ciara: No. Of course not. As long as the baby is healthy.

Shawn: Ben?

Ben: Same.

Shawn: Okay, so then why don’t we just open it and find out so you can get started on what color to paint the nursery?

Ciara: Okay, well, first of all, we are painting the nursery a neutral color because we are not about gender stereotyping our child.

Shawn: Right. Of course.

Ciara: And we’re even gonna teach them that they can choose their own pronouns when they get old enough.

Shawn: Okay. And I’m totally cool with all that, so why don’t we open the envelope so we can find out, right? Woman: Life’s been hard enough.

Ej: Look, I understand your reluctance to represent me. We’ve had our differences. And I realize honesty hasn’t always been my strong suit.

Belle: You think?

Ej: However, I assure you I’m telling the truth when I say I did not have samantha kidnapped. Someone framed me.

Belle: Even if I believed you, and I am not saying that I do, sami thinks you’re guilty. And so I would be betraying my own sister if I represented you.

Ej: It’s not as if sami hasn’t betrayed you, over and over again.

Belle: It doesn’t make it right.

Ej: Look, I’m fighting for my life here. If you don’t wanna help me for me, then do it for your niece and nephew. Do you really think johnny and sydney’s father should go to prison for a crime he didn’t commit?

Belle: Think of the children? That’s your pitch?

Ej: Think of the children.

Belle: Only problem is johnny is not an innocent child. He proved that here tonight.

Susan: Oh. I am not gonna fall for that twice. Mm-mm.

Demon johnny: Fall for what?

Susan: You bluffing about killing my elvis.

Demon johnny: And what makes you think I’m bluffing?

Susan: Because most people think that you’re gone, and that’s just the way you like it, because you’re not gonna kill my elvis, uh-uh, not in the middle of the dimera family mansion. There are witnesses downstairs.

Demon johnny: [Laughs] You think I care about witnesses?

Susan: Yes. I do. I do because you can wreak more havoc on the– on the down low like you did tonight.

Demon johnny: Or maybe people will just think johnny went off the deep end.

Susan: Uh-uh. ‘Cause even if they do, my johnny, my sweet, sweet johnny would never hurt his daddy! Uh-uh. He–he–he would never, ever kill him. And if the second he did– the second he did, people would know that satan is still in salem, and then mr. John black and his hunky stepson, father eric, and all the forces of good are gonna come, and they are gonna vanquish you again, buster! Right?

Allie: Thank you so much. Give henry a big kiss for me, okay? All right, I’ll see you first thing in the morning. Yeah, night. Hi, it is totally fine with nicole if I stay here.

Chanel: Thank you again for doing this. I swear, if you weren’t here–

Allie: Chanel, you don’t have to thank me, okay? I’m your best friend. This is what we do for each other.

Chanel: I’m so, so grateful to have you.

Allie: Okay, so I’m just gonna go sleep on the couch, but I’m right outside if you need me.

Chanel: That’s dumb, horton. There’s plenty of room in the bed.

Allie: Chanel.

Chanel: I’ll stay on my side, you stay on yours. I won’t bother you. Just knowing that you’re here will be enough.

Allie: Okay.

Chanel: You’re gonna sleep in that?

Allie: Oh. Yeah, I guess not. Thanks.

[Dramatic music]

Tripp: You’re lucky it’s just a sprain, but I want you to stay off of it for a few days, okay?

Paulina: Will do. And, you know, dr. Tripp, you got a nice bedside manner.

Tripp: Thank you.

Paulina: And I’m sure you are going to be a top-notch physician.

Tripp: Well, I have a great role model in my stepmom– chief of staff, dr. Kayla johnson.

Paulina: [Gasps] Right. Well, I’m sure she is as proud of you as I am of my girls.

Tripp: And now I’m gonna go get started on your discharge paperwork and prescriptions. I’m also gonna give you a cane, that’ll help steady yourself while you heal, okay? I’ll be back in a few.

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Lani: Thank you.

Paulina: [Sighs] Oh, uh, I hope you weren’t offended by my referring to you as one of my girls.

Lani: No. I wasn’T.

Paulina: Oh, that’s a relief. Now, what about that question I asked you earlier?

Lani: When I saw the chandelier coming for you and blurted out “mom”?

Paulina: Yeah, that.

Lani: I don’t know. I’m–I’m not sure why I said it. I–I saw that you were in danger and I just–I don’t know, I just–I said it in the moment.

Paulina: I see.

Lani: The truth is, I will always see tamara as my mother.

Paulina: No, of course.

Lani: But deep down, somewhere in there, I– I guess I– I see you that way too.

Trelegy for copd.

Demon johnny: You do make an excellent point. Killing your son would be quite impractical.

Susan: Mm-hmm. Impractical and evil. Very, very, very evil.

Demon johnny: [Sighs] But keeping our little secret is essential to my plan. So I’m gonna have to find another way to silence you– permanently.

Susan: Oh, no, you don’t! No, you don’t, because I have the strength of christ, and he compels you, go back, to stay six feet away from me.

Demon johnny: Would you stop it with your infantile babbling?

Susan: Oh, that’s it. Infantile!

Demon johnny: So?

Susan: So that’s why you’re back! That’s it. You are still after ben and ciara’s poor, innocent young-un.

Shawn: All right, look, either you want to know the sex of your baby so you can be prepared or you’re just gonna wait and be surprised.

Ben: Right.

Shawn: Uh, so– so which is it?

Ben: I don’t think we’re going to decide tonight.

Ciara: No, I guess not.

Shawn: Well, come on. I mean, that was anti-climactic. Jeez.

Ciara: Ah, well, sorry.

Shawn: Look, it’s okay. All right, it’s fine. I’m just joking. You guys got to do what you got to do for yourselves, so.

Ciara: Mm. Look, I probably got to get going. You know, I’m gonna meet belle for a late dinner, so.

Ciara: Wait! Could you– would you take the envelope with you?

Shawn: You want– you want me to take your sonogram home with me? Why?

Ben: Y–yeah, why? Why?

Ciara: Well, you know, no, just for safekeeping, you know, until we decide if and when we want to open it.

Ben: You’re scared you’re tempted you’re gonna take a peek.

Ciara: Oh, well, you’re scared that you’re tempted to take a peek too.

Ben: I probably will.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Take that temptation, please.

Ciara: Take it away. Would you do us a solid and just help us out, please?

Shawn: Yes, I can do that.

Ciara: Cool.

Shawn: But I’m gonna take a peek at it when I get home.

Ben: No!

Ciara: No!

Shawn: I’m joking. Gosh. Come on. It is locked away in ze vault.

Ciara: Okay.

[Ben sighs]

Demon johnny: Oh, there you go again, susan. Being too smart for your own good.

Susan: Well, I am warning you. I am not gonna let you go anywhere near the westons’ unborn child.

Demon johnny: [Laughs] Oh.

Susan: What is so funny?

Demon johnny: Just you thinking that there’s anything you can do about it.

Susan: You–you’re not gonna get away with this. You are not gonna get away with this because, you know what, you can slam doors in my face, but I’m gonna go straight downstairs, and I am gonna tell elvis everything.

Demon johnny: You know what?

[Eerie music]

Ej: We’re family, belle. Whether you like it or not. I know I’ve done some terrible things in my life, but I did not kidnap samantha. As upset as I was that she cheated on me with lucas, I still love her. And we share two incredible children who deserve better than this.

Belle: Ej. I–I can’t–I’m sorry, I cannot represent you.

Ej: Fine. Go ahead. Abandon me just like your sister did.

Belle: Well, listen, I can help you find another attorney–

Ej: Go! Just–just go! Go.

[Ej sighs]

Belle: All right. Will you just tell chad I came by? And good luck tomorrow.

[Dramatic music]

Susan: Elvis! Wait, elvis. Oh, son, son. Hey, hey. I have something very important to tell you! My plaque psoriasis…

Tripp: Okay. Here you go.

Paulina: Oh. Oh, thank you, doctor.

Tripp: And I also want you to take ibuprofen as needed for the pain. And watch out for those falling chandeliers.

Paulina: Will do.

Tripp: And please, tell chanel I hope she’s okay.

Paulina: Okay, then. Thanks, doctor. Well, I’ll be on my way.

Lani: Why don’t you let me take you home?

Paulina: Oh, no, no, no, no. My driver and my car, they’re downstairs.

Lani: Are you sure?

Paulina: Yeah, yeah. You go home to your– your beautiful twins and their beautiful daddy.

Lani: Okay. Um, please tell chanel I’m thinking of her. And I’ll give her a call tomorrow.

Paulina: Okay. I will. Um, lani?

Lani: Yeah?

Paulina: I’m so glad that you were there for me. You can’t imagine how much that means to me.

Chanel: [Sobbing] Horton?

Allie: Yeah?

Chanel: Are you still awake?

Allie: Well, it would be pretty silly if I said no.

Chanel: Right.

Allie: You okay?

Chanel: No. But I’m really glad you’re here.

Allie: So am I. I want you to know, my brother’s an idiot.

Chanel: I already know that.

Allie: No, I mean, I can’t even believe what he’s giving up. You are the smartest, fiercest, most beautiful woman I know. Anybody would be lucky to be with you.

Chanel: Do you really mean that?

Allie: Yeah. I do.

[Romantic music]

Ej: What is it, mother? Is something wrong?

Susan: Oh, no. Everything’s fine. It’s fine. I just–I need to tell you that I’m leaving salem.

Ej: What?

Susan: Yeah, yeah. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, baby boy, but roger needs me. Asap.

Ej: You’re going right now?

Susan: Uh, yeah! Yessiree, bob. I am. I am. I’m on that midnight train to memphis. Actually, no, I’m flying.

Ej: Surely you can wait until the morning.

Johnny: She really wants to go.

Ej: You knew about this? What’s the emergency?

Susan: You’re not gonna get away with this. You are not gonna get away with this because, you know what, you can slam doors in my face, but I am gonna go straight downstairs, and I am gonna tell elvis everything.

Demon johnny: You know what?

[Eerie music]

Susan: You’re gonna let me go?

Demon johnny: And what are you gonna tell him?

Susan: I’m gonna tell him that I’m leaving salem.

Demon johnny: When?

Susan: Tonight.

Demon: Johnny: Excellent. Why?

Susan: Because roger needs me.

Demon johnny: He sure does. Why don’t I help you pack your bags?

Susan: Okey-dokey. You’re such a sweet boy.

Demon johnny: Yeah. Actually, I did know, dad. I’m the one who convinced her to go.

[Dramatic music]

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Ben: Do you think we made the right decision letting your brother take the sonogram?

Ciara: Well, I’m pretty sure if we had it, we’d be staring at it all night.

Ben: Probably.

Ciara: And there’s still plenty of time to find out the sex of the baby.

Ben: If we want to.

Ciara: If we want to. Yeah. Right now, I’m kind of happy not knowing.

Ben: Right now, I’m going to make sure that I do everything in my power to make sure that we always stay as happy as we are right now.

Ciara: Baby, you brought me back from the dead.

Ben: Hmm.

Ciara: We battled the devil together to save our child. I’m pretty sure nothing in this world or any other world, for that matter, could break us apart ever again.

Ej: Why would you encourage your grandmother to leave salem?

Johnny: Because she’s lonely. She was telling me how much roger wanted to see her. And I encouraged her to go because I could see how much she missed him.

Susan: I do. I do. I miss him desperately.

Johnny: I gave your bags to the driver, grandma. He’s–he’s waiting outside.

Ej: I–I–I still don’t see what difference one more night would make.

Susan: Oh, honey, I’m sorry. Sorry, elvis, you know what, but mama’s made up her mind. Mm-hmm. I love you so much. More than life itself, elvis.

Ej: I–

Susan: But I have to do this.

Ej: I love you too. I–

Susan: I just want you take care of yourself, okay?

Johnny: See you later, grandma.

Ej: What just happened?

Tripp: Hey. Did miss price get home okay?

Lani: Mm-hmm. Her driver dropped her off. I stuck around to check on a patient from one of my cases.

Tripp: Something I can help you with?

Lani: Nope. I just wanted to say thank you for taking such good care of paulina.

Tripp: It’s my pleasure. You know, she’s–she’s something else.

Lani: She sure is. Oh, and when you talk to allie, please thank her again too for being there for chanel.

Tripp: I will.

[Tense music]

Demon johnny: Goodbye, pesky granny, and good riddance. That goes for you, too, chanel.

[Eerie music]

Mortals and your trinkets of affection. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

[Evil laughter]

Steffy: I hope you saved room for dessert.

Taylor: Oh my gosh, is that what I think it is?

Steffy: Yes, it’s still your favorite, right?

Taylor: Yes. Oh, you are spoiling me.

Tey: Iilinda t’s ri.T a

Taylor: Mm. He’s coming over?

Steffy: Yeah, I texted him. Tried to entice him. Well… not that he needs enticing or anything.

Taylor: Is that supposed to–

Steffy: Like obviously, there’s something still going on, like you guys have this energy–

Hope: Knock, knock! Hello?

Steffy: Come on in. Hey, come on in, what’s going on?

Hope: Um, well. Douglas lost his football again, and he thinks that he left it here. Have you seen it?

Taylor: Yeah, I think it’s on the patio.

Hope: Okay, perfect. I’ll just grab it on my way out then.

Steffy: Yeah, go do it. We’re just having dessert, so.

Taylor: Do you want to join us?

Hope: Oh.

Steffy: Yeah, dad’s coming, too. He loves my banana cream pie.

Hope: Actually, I’m not so sure that ridge is going

Brooke: I relapsed,

I started drinking again.

Of course, I’m feeling guilty.

As far as that kiss

and ending up in bed with you.

Look, we’re going to need to

just keep this a secret, okay?

Forever.

Ridge: Logan. You went back to new year’s eve again, didn’t you?

Paris: Mom, I still can’t believe you’re here.

Mrs. Buckingham: Should i have warned you first?

Paris: No, no. I’m so happy that you’re here. I just didn’t know you were planning a visit.

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh, I missed my baby girl.

Paris: I miss you too, mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: Actually, I’ve never been good at surprises and would never have pulled this one off, either. Not without zende’s help.

Zende: I mean, am I being paranoid wondering if paris is interested in another guy? That she wants to take a chance to see where things might lead? And that she has been sending me this gentle message that there might be some competition? Because if that is the case, I want a name.Th

Carter: A name?

Zende: The guy I’m up against. Who is he? Do I know him? What his intentions are as far as paris is concerned?

Zende: I’m very protective of paris. True, my proposal never got off the ground, but we’re still dating and I’ll always look out for her, even if…

Carter: If what?

Zende: I don’t want to get ahead of myself. I don’t know that there’s another guy that paris might like. But if there is, there is no way that I’m just going to give up and step aside.

Paris: Did you come here straight from the airport?

Mrs. Buckingham: Yes.

Paris: You should’ve told me I could have picked you up.

Mrs. Buckingham: And ruin the chance to pull zende into my grand surprise? He’s a really great guy, you know. If I was just a few years younger, whoo–

Paris: Mother!

Mrs. Buckingham: He’s also sweet and charming. I am very happy you are dating such a fine young man as zende forester.

Brooke: There’s nowhere you got to be?

Ridge: I’m exactly where I need to be right here. I’m sorry I wasn’t here before.

Brooke: All those years of sobriety. Just gone. In one night. It was my weakness, my…. my mistake. And now…

Ridge: Now, you can do everything in your power to make sure it doesn’t happen again. And you’re doing it, starting with this meeting today. Gotta tell you, seeing– seeing you up there, standing up and… telling everybody the truth. So proud of you, I just don’t know where you get that strength. Strength to do that and the strength to face every day. But you can do me a favor, stop beating yourself up over this. Okay?

Brooke: Okay.

Steffy: Hope’s right, dad can’t make it, he’s spending time with brooke at her house.

Hope: It’s ridge’s home too, steffy.

Steffy: I didn’t mean anything by that.

Hope: No, I’m sorry. I don’t know why I said that.

Taylor: Hope, is everything okay with your mom? Steffy mentioned something was going on with her.

Steffy: Yeah, what is it? You know, you can tell us, hope.

(Ziploc bag opening)

Zende: I know it sounds crazy, almost nobody knew that I was going to propose that night, but the way that things went down, it just seemed like someone had tipped her off about the proposal. Not that it matters. Paris’s answer would have still been the same. She’s just not ready for marriage.

Carter: Even though you are?

Zende: I appreciate her honesty. But between you and me, carter, it was a big kick in the gut. I was hoping that paris and i would be engaged right now.

Mrs. Buckingham, I hope I don’t sound like a meddling mother, and that’s the last thing I want to be. But I follow zende both online and in the press ever since you told me that you were dating. Not only is he talented and successful, but he’s also a very good person with a good heart. And plus, he comes from a wonderful family who’s embraced you, and that makes him a winner in my book. Obviously in yours… okay. Of course I… I could be misreading things.

Paris: What do you mean?

Mrs. Buckingham: You and zende. Is there something going on between you two I should know about?

Brooke: I can’t imagine my life without you, ridge.

Ridge: Oh, that’s good, because you’re stuck with me.

Brooke: Yeah, well, I don’t make it very easy on you.

Ridge: I’ve never made it easy for you. We’re still here. Still together after all these years. Says something about our love story, right? Whatever life hands us, we’ll deal with it. Right? Without blaming each other, without shame.

[Sighing]

Brooke: Yeah. I’m hearing you. I am. I’M… I’m trying and I…

[Clearing throat] I appreciate your support more than anything. And hope’s too.

Ridge: What’s going on?

[Sighing]

Brooke: I’m just… just thinking about my daughter. You know, I don’t like how she… feels like she’s responsible for what happened.

Taylor: Obviously, you’re concerned about your mother.

Hope: Yes. I mean, it’s no secret that I have brought some added stress to my mother and ridge’s marriage because I want to have a relationship with my father.

Taylor: Yeah, I’ve heard that there were some issues with that, but I also was under the impression that your mom and ridge were working through all that.

Hope: Yes, that’s true. They’re working through a challenging time. I just want to make sure that they’re given space and that you not see it as an opportunity, taylor.

With less moderate-to-severe

eczema,

Zende: I know how this probably is coming off, like I’m throwing myself this big pity party.

Carter: No, man. Not at all.

Zende: It’s just, I still believe in a future with paris. Maybe I was just going too fast in my head. I don’t know. Well, I’m thankful that I get to spend some time with paris’s mom now that she’s in town. I think it’s good for paris to have some family in L.A., Regardless of how brief it might be.

Carter: Yeah, I agree. I know how much paris has missed her mom. What?

Zende: I was just thinking, you have been such a good friend to both paris and me. I really appreciate it carter. I know that paris thinks very highly of you.

Paris: So, mom, this opportunity at university hospital, you seriously considering taking it?

Mrs. Buckingham: Unless you can think of a reason why I shouldn’T.

Paris: No, no, it would be so fun having you here, we can hang out together.

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh my god, honey, that is so sweet. But you have your own life and between your work at the forrester foundation and your relationship with zende, I doubt you have a lot of free time.

Paris: I will always make time for you. I love you, mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh, I love you too, my sweet girl. More than I can say.

Ridge: Hey, hope is not responsible for this. No one is responsible. Staying sober is a daily battle, right?

Brooke: A battle that I lost that night, and I still don’t even understand why. I don’t understand what drove me to drink. Yes, I was upset that you didn’t come home, but that couldn’t have been it, ridge, there… there had to have been more.

Ridge: All right, listen to me. It really doesn’t matter right now. What matters is we’ve got to fix the problem. You’re doing it. You’re going to meetings. Got rid of all the booze in the house. And I’m proud of you, your daughter is proud of you because you’re so strong. We’ll figure this out as a family. I know you want to know what the trigger was. We all do and we will find it. And when we do, we’ll deal with it and it’s going to be another victory for us. It’s going to make our family stronger, I promise you. Yes? Okay.

Taylor: What kind of opportunity, hope, what are you implying?

Steffy: Wait, this is the real reason you stopped by, it’s not about getting douglas’ football. You came here to confront my mom.

Hope: No, no, no, not at all. This was not meant to be a confrontation, but I do think it needs to be said.

Taylor: What needs to be said, hope? Tell me.

[Sighing]

Hope: Look, I’m well aware that you didn’t just leave town for your job. It was also about your feelings for ridge. And obviously, I mean, that’s your ex-husband, that’s steffy and thomas’s dad, and you had a life and a family together.

Steffy: We still do.

Hope: Yes. But I also know that in the past, you have also blamed my mom in some ways and thought that she stole that from you.

Steffy: Okay, hope, can you just get to your point?

Hope: The point is, I am glad that you’re back in town, taylor, I just… I hope that you and your daughter remember that ridge is no longer married to you. He’s married to my mother. With age comes more…

Mrs. Buckingham: It still amazes me what you’ve accomplished for yourself at such a young age. Both my girls! Look at you, working for forrester creations and all the wonderful work the foundation does for people around the world. Thanks to you in no small part, to your leadership and your vision.

Paris: Spoken like a truly unbiased mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: Of course, there’s also your involvement with zende. Not that I’m trying to play matchmaker. But if you would allow your mother a word of advice. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Choose your significant other carefully. Someone from a good family, someone with strong morals and integrity. It’s not just about money and position and standing, it’s about finding the right foundation to build your life and your future on. Could that man be zende?

Zende: I think I’m going to hold on to that ring. Maybe one day I’ll get to slip it on to paris’ finger. Still, I keep coming back to that one thing.

Carter: What’s that?

Zende: If there is another guy who’s caught paris’s attention, who could it be?

Brooke: Come on, deacon.

Come on, slug one back

with me, buddy, old pal.

Deacon, it’s gonna haunt me.

It’s gonna haunt me forever.

Ridge: Sorry, this happened to you. Here.

Brooke: Okay, thanks. Mm.

Ridge: It’s one night.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: It’s the past. See if we can focus on the future. Hi.

Brooke: Hi.

Ridge: Come here.

Steffy: Look hope, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on with dad and brooke, but it is his life, his future. Whatever he decides, it’s his decision.

Hope: But he’s already made his decision and he is married to my mom.

Steffy: And I’m aware of that. So is mom. But we are aware that dad has been through a lot, and most of it is because of you and brooke.

Hope: Are you talking about my dad?

Steffy: Deacon. Yeah, I am. My dad despises him. For good reason. And instead of listening to his warnings, you and brooke are welcoming him with open arms despite all of the pain and shame he’s caused.

Hope: Okay, that was before, and he is a different man now.

Steffy: Right. Because deacon says he is, and you’re desperate to believe that. But how do you know he’s changed? I get that he’s your father and you can’t be totally objective. But brooke is a whole different story. She was caught in this discussing messy scandal. And here she is, welcoming deacon back into her life, even though dad is really upset about it. But does she care? Is she worried about him. His concerns, his pleas?

Taylor: Okay, honey–

Steffy: Mom, no, no, no, no. I know, I definitely need to say something. Because even though dad and brooke are married, whatever he decides in the long run is up to him. Not to you. Not to brooke.

Hope: I’ve heard that you’re planning on staying in L.A. And you’ve already opened up a practice, and I am thrilled for you. Uh, I’m sure steffy and thomas are happy to have you back. I just ask… to respect my mother and ridge’s marriage. They’re deeply in love, and I don’t want anything to disrupt that. We’ve… we’ve been in a good place lately and I just want to keep the peace, so I want to make sure that that is understood by both of you. Is that clear?

Steffy: Wow.

Michael: Mmm. [ Smooches ]

Lauren: Mmm!

Michael: I am so happy that you said yes.

[ Smooches ]

Lauren: Which time?

Michael: All of them.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Including now.

Lauren: You were quite mysterious on the phone when you asked me to meet you here.

Michael: Ah. Well, mystery solved.

[ Clears throat ] I won in court.

Lauren: The big fraud case you’ve been prosecuting? Oh, I’m so happy for you! Congratulations.

Michael: Hearing you say it out loud makes the victory even sweeter.

Lauren: So, this isn’t any just normal meet-and-greet. This is a celebration.

Michael: If you insist.

Lauren: I do. Andy, will you bring us a bottle of champagne, please? This deserves a toast. I am so happy for you. You are on one heck of a winning streak.

Michael: Yeah, well, there have been a few losses in there along the way.

Lauren: Don’t be so modest. You are the best prosecutor out there. You, my love, are at the pinnacle of your career.

Michael: Hmm. Funny you should say that. Driving over here, I had the same thought in my head.

Lauren: Oh?

Michael: Mm. I’ve climbed the mountain. I’ve reached the apex. And now that I am here…

Lauren: You’re wondering if you can go any higher.

Michael: The opposite, actually. One phrase keeps, uh, going around in my mind. “Quit while you’re ahead.”

Michael: You know, I’ve been so fortunate over the years. I’ve been able to practice every type of law that piqued my interest — civil, corporate, criminal, for both the defense and the prosecution.

Lauren: You are the best district attorney this town has ever seen. It doesn’t get better.

Michael: Precisely. Which makes me think that maybe I should leave on a high note.

Lauren: And do what?

Michael: Smell the proverbial roses. Start researching that mystery novel I’ve always wanted to write.

Lauren: Okay. You know, this is a rare occurrence, but I actually can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.

Michael: Assume that I am.

Lauren: Honey, this is not the first time you’ve talked about walking away after a particularly grueling case. Maybe you just need a break.

Michael: It’s not about needing a break. It’s about taking my life in a different direction. Like, I was walking out of the courthouse today, and I started thinking about everything I’ve accomplished. And it made me very proud, and i felt a very deep sense of contentment. And isn’t that the way everybody wants to feel when they’re ready to retire from their job?

Christine: Retire? I was just picking up a takeout order, and I couldn’t help overhearing. I’m — I’m so sorry.

Michael: It is interesting timing.

Lauren: Yes, very interesting, as you were the one who tossed your D.A. Baton to michael when you decided to step down.

Michael: Join us, unless you’ve got plans.

Christine: Well, I — I don’t see my to-go order ready, but, uh…

Michael: Yeah. Have a drink. Sit. Sit. Sit.

Christine: Okay, yeah, a quick one.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Okay, so, you heard what michael just said. What went through your mind?

Christine: Well, if he’s serious about leaving law or even the D.A.’S office, it would truly be the end of an era in this town.

Michael: Well, nobody, not even my wonderful wife here

[Sighs] Understands that quite as well as you do. I gave christine her first job with a law firm.

Michael: So. How do you feel?

Christine: Do you remember “the wizard of oz”? The yellow brick road, the- beginning of it?

Michael: Yes.

Christine: That’s me.

Michael: Perfect analogy.

Christine: I’m a little nervous. Not nervous. More excited.

Michael: Well, you should be. This is the start of your career. One of the biggest days in your life. Welcome to whitman, walker & wilson, christine.

Christine: Thanks.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Christine: You have certainly come a long way since then. A lot of people think dealing with copd

Christine: Law school was just a warm-up compared to what I learned from you. I felt so lucky to be your protégé, observing you in court, listening to you strategize. Your mind was so brilliant. I was literally in awe.

Michael: Until you met the other side of me — the egomaniac who knew he was the smartest person in the room, who thought everyone should be grateful just to sit at the feet of the master and do whatever he asked. That was me, too, back then. I excelled at power plays and mind games. But I underestimated you.

Christine: A little.

Michael: And when I crossed the line, you fought back,& dragged me to court, exposed my abhorrent behavior, and won. And instead of being humbled, i was outraged that I lost my job and my reputation. I was consumed with revenge.

Michael: Just a few more holes and I’ll punch through this wall.

[ Grunts ] Ah, it won’t be long now, christine.

Michael: I wasn’t in my right mind. That’s the only way to describe it. I was obsessed, violent, furious. And though I didn’t know it at the time, winding up in prison, hitting rock bottom were some of the best things that ever happened to me. Spending a few years behind bars gave me a new appreciation for everything I’d just thrown away. And I — I counted the moments until i would be released and could start over again.

Christine: [ Sighs ] You claimed you had this epiphany. I doubted you, to say the least.

Michael: Yeah, well, i couldn’t very well blame you for that. But I knew. I knew if you would give me a second chance, if you would speak on my behalf to the wisconsin bar so I could get my law license back…it would make all the difference.

Christine: Why should I give you the time of day? Let alone help you —

Michael: I understand why you’d feel this way. I do. Just as I hope you understand that this is eating me up inside, not being able to use my training as an attorney. I really believe that’s why god put me on this earth.

Christine: Then you took that god-given talent and did what with it? You used it as a big power trip.

Michael: How many times do i have to say this?

Christine: You’re a changed man, right? The monster who did all those things doesn’t exist.

Michael: Look, you have every reason in the world to be skeptical.

Christine: [ Scoffs ] Well, thank you.

Michael: This just means so much to me. You can help me more than anyone else can, christine. But first you have just — you’ve got to believe me. I swear to you with every fiber of my being, I am changed. I am sincere. I want to practice law again. And if you help me, I promise you I will never, ever forget it.

Michael: I’ve given thanks every day since that you found a way to overcome those doubts. I mean, you — you restored my career. I mean, she even agreed to come work with me again.

Christine: Baldwin, williams and associates.

Michael: We can put your name first if you like.

Christine: No, no, it sounds better this way.

Michael: Well, then let’s put pen to paper.

Christine: That’s where i really came into my own as a lawyer, and you and I became real friends and colleagues.

Lauren: To the chagrin of paul, as I recall.

Michael: Oh. Yeah, well, he did take a little longer to trust that I was on the up-and-up. You know, I can’t blame him. It’s understandable, given our history. And I didn’t always make things easy for you.

Christine: Oh, yeah, you were no saint, to say the least.

Michael: But you were patient and kind. And you cut me an unending amount of slack. And it meant the world. Still does.

Lauren: So, what do you think about this, uh, question du jour?

Christine: [ Chuckles ] Retirement?

Lauren: What do you think about this dilemma? I mean, should he or shouldn’t he go out while he’s on top? Your dry skin story changes

Christine: If you’re asking for my advice, I really can’t give you any. Only michael will know when he’s ready to wind down his legal career and maybe try his hand at something else.

Lauren: Well, he is multitalented. Not many people realize that. He’s clever.

Christine: Hey, you could do stand-up.

Michael: Yeah, no.

Christine: No.

Lauren: You do have this childlike curiosity about the world. It’s a true gift. And last week you were on this conference call, and you were sketching on a legal pad. It was this — this cottage and woods. It was — it was so good.

Michael: I wouldn’t go that far.

Lauren: Well, I would, and this isn’t just the wife bragging about you. You could be an artist. That’s no joke.

Christine: Have you been holding out on us?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] He could probably excel at anything he put his mind to.

Michael: That’s just the point. I haven’t got a clue on what that might be.

Christine: Okay, but you will. You just have to do some more soul-searching. For me, the writing was on the wall. I knew it was time for me to leave the D.A.’S office, but you gave me the perfect opportunity.

Michael: No regrets?

Christine: No, none. I love doing pro bono work. It gives me such satisfaction to help people, and I get to spend more time with my husband.

Lauren: Wait a minute. Are we talking about the work-life balance? Hmm. That just might be a new concept for one of us.

Michael: Unfortunately, that’s true.

Lauren: You thrive on adrenaline, the kind that you get from arguing in front of a jury. Are you going to be happy with this calmer, quieter existence?

Victor: Now, wait a minute.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: Calm and quiet and michael baldwin?

Michael: Victor.

Victor: Why don’t those three things go together?

Christine: Right? Good to see you, victor.

Victor: Hello, christine. Nice to see you.

Christine: Nice to see you. I see my to-go order, so I will let lauren and michael explain everything to you. Thank you for the drink, and good luck with your deliberations.

Michael: I’m sure I’ll need it.

Victor: Okay.

Michael: Please, sit. Sit.

Victor: Thank you.

Lauren: Yes.

Victor: What a nice surprise.

Michael: Here we go.

Victor: Thank you, sir.

Lauren: Thank you.

Victor: Well, my god. A glass of champagne?

Lauren: Yes.

Michael: Uh-huh.

Victor: Whoa. So, what deliberations was christine talking about?

Lauren: Michael won a big case in court today.

Michael: Which inspired me to float the idea of retirement.

Victor: What are you talking about?

Michael: All good things must come to an end, and perhaps it’s best to take charge of when and how that happens.

Victor: I understand all that, but retirement?

Michael: Why not?

Victor: Who do you think you’re talking to? You’d be bored out of your skull within three weeks. Trust me.

[ Laughing ] You know that.

Michael: Look…

Victor: What?

Michael: …Give me some credit for wanting to explore life out from behind my desk. I mean, there are plenty of things to fill my time. I can — I can be a more attentive husband. I can play with my niece and nephew, visit fenmore.

Victor: Well, now, listen. I understand you wanting to spend time with your family. I really do, you know? I’ve done the same. But I’ve kept one hand in newman enterprise business.

Michael: Surprising exactly no one.

Victor: Why don’t you follow my example?

Michael: Which is?

Victor: Join newman media. We need your expertise. We need your talent.

Lauren: “We” meaning youand adam?

Victor: Unbeknownst to both of you, adam has matured a great deal. And besides that, you would only be answer to me.

Michael: Well [Sighs] Somehow I don’t see this as the halfway point between being district attorney and kicking back in a lounge chair. I mean, working for you requires that I be on call 24/7 as an attorney and a fixer and, perhaps, wading into some murky waters ethically.

Victor: But you’re so damn good at it.

Michael: [ Sighs ]

Lauren: Hey, now!

Michael: No, wait. Now, hold on. I admit it. I admit it. I found it thrilling to find the perfect loophole and seeing how far I could push things without getting caught. And in that sense, we were a good match back then. But for every occasion that we were in sync, there were other, far less pleasant times.

Michael: You have every right to be disappointed in me. I have let you down terribly. But, victor, I swear to you, nothing like this will ever happen again.

Victor: You’re damn right it won’T. You’re the best damn lawyer i ever had. What the hell were you thinking? It’s going to cost me millions of dollars. Millions of dollars! And I don’t like to lose! You’re fired.

Victor: Well, now, you and i have had a rather tumultuous professional relationship, but, you know… listen. I know you. You have so much energy. Where are you gonna put it? You need to channel it somewhere.

Lauren: I second that.

Victor: Right. And one thing I promise you — you’ll not be bored working for me. You know that.

[ Chuckles ]

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Michael: While that’s a very flattering offer, this conversation is extremely premature.

Victor: Well, now, why don’t I address your concerns right now? So when you’re ready to consider, you know what the parameters are.

Michael: Alright, I’ll hear you out, but no promises.

Victor: First of all, you will set your own hours. I will no longer dominate your time 24 hours a day.

Michael: Will you put that in writing?

Victor: Oh, yeah. Gladly. And then of course you would be compensated very well, in accordance with your extensive experience and talents.

Michael: Oh, that’s a good thing — because I wouldn’t come cheap. But it’s really not about the money.

Victor: No, it isn’T.

[ Sighs ] You and I have been working together for how many years now? My god. Too many to tell. And we have learned to trust each other, which is the most important thing in business.

Victor: I will not let you take the fall for me.& You got that? You go to christine blair, you tell her you’ll make whatever deal she wants to as long as it gives you the most immunity.

Michael: No, I don’t like this, victor.

Victor: I’m ordering you to do it.

Michael: That’s how igot in trouble in the first place — taking your orders.

Victor: You tell christine blair if she wants me to come to my office.

Michael: Victor, I can handle this. Let me do this for you.

Victor: Michael baldwin, let me explain something to you. All my life I’ve been accused of not taking responsibility for the consequences of my actions, that I’m ruthless and unfeeling. It ain’t so. You will not take the rap for me. I’m responsible for this. This was my idea and my plan, my scheme. I will suffer the consequences, not you. End of story.

Michael: I’ve never respected you more than I did that day.

Victor: I appreciate that. Now, I’ve come what I had to say. And nice to see you, lauren, okay?

Lauren: So great to see you, as always.

Victor: If you need any further information, you know where to reach me, alright?

Michael: Thank you.

Victor: Nice to see you. Bye, lauren.

Michael: [ Laughs ]

Lauren: What is so funny?

Michael: [ Groans ] I haven’t even decided to leave my job, and I’ve already got another one waiting for me.

Lauren: Well, I doubt that would be the only offer. Does that change how you feel about things?

Michael: It complicates things.

Lauren: How so?

Michael: When I first brought up the subject, I only considered two options — district attorney or retired district attorney. But now that I’ve talked to victor and christine…

Lauren: You’ve seen that there’s a lot of other possibilities.

Michael: [ Sighs ] I think I just — I just need to get a handle on what life would be like if I am no longer

[Sighs] Putting genoa city’s criminals behind bars.

Lauren: I couldn’t agree more. So while you and victor had your heads together, I decided I’d better bring in some reinforcements.

[ Laughs ]

Gloria: Oh, thank you, lauren, for reaching out.

Kevin: The gang’s all here!

Chloe: With tons of conflicting opinions to choose from!

Lauren: Oh, yay! Well, I texted your brother, told him what was going on, and this is such a big decision. I thought you needed your family’s support and perspective.

Michael: Have you met my family?

Gloria: Ohh! Now, now!

Michael: Alright, listen, listen, I’m sure your intentions are good, but sound advice just — it doesn’t immediately leap to mind.

Lauren: Not always, but you did say you wanted to look at this from all angles, and what better way to do that with your family, who knows you and loves you best?

Kevin: Yeah.

Michael: [ Shudders ]

[ Laughter ]

“The young and the restless”

will continue. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Michael: Ahh, isn’t this a cozy party of five?

Lauren: Well, it would have been six, but your best friend is tied up at work.

Michael: Well, I’m sure phyllis would be on my side, so let’s just assume she’s on team whatever-michael-decides.

Gloria: What’s that supposed to mean? That some of us are not on your side?

Michael: I didn’t mean to offend you, gloria.

Gloria: I hope not. Because personally I think this is wonderful that we’ve all come together on such short notice to offer our insights.

Kevin: Like a regular family, mom. Not like the one we used to be.

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: Perish the thought.

Gloria: Who wants to rehash the past, when you and michael couldn’t always depend on me? I mean, who wants to go there, huh? I certainly don’T.

Gloria: You won’t forgive me for being a rotten mother when you were young. You won’t allow me to take care of you now, when I can be the best mother I could ever be. What do you want from me?

Michael: [ Scoffs ] Oh, yeah. You’re all full of maternal love now. One has to wonder when you’ll tell your husband who your children are.

Gloria: Michael —

Michael: You talk about love? Love for your sons, love for this man you can never be honest with. And you claim you deserve —

deserved — to be looked at with new eyes. And you haven’t done anything to deserve it! And the only way that can happen… is no more lies, no more manipulations, just being who and what you are, for better or worse!

Gloria: [ Chuckles ] Okay, okay. It took me a while. But I think you all have to agree that I have grown into my role.

Kevin: As lady macbeth?

[ Laughter ]

Michael: [ Coughs ]

Gloria: As your fabulous, if unconventional, maternal figure to both of my sons.

Lauren: Did fen send us some mutant fruit basket or something?

Michael: Scott sent us the world’s largest ham.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Well, come on. Let’s open it up.

Michael: That’s why I have scissors.

Lauren: Well, wait, wait, wait, careful! I mean, what if it is fruit?

Gloria: Whoo!

Lauren: [ Screams ]

Gloria: [ Laughs ] Deck the halls, everybody. Gloria’s back. Oh, come on! Get me out of this thing! Come! Come, come, come!

[ Squeals, laughs ]

Michael: Uh, gloria, this — this — this…

Lauren: Quite a surprise.

Gloria: Of course! Well, I couldn’t leave my handsome sons alone on christmas. You and kevin are my life. Nowhere else I’d rather be.

[ Laughter ]

Michael: Well, your efforts have been appreciated.

Gloria: [ Laughs ] I would hope so.

[ Laughter ] Well, I have no right to throw stones, given the epic mistakes I’ve made in the past.

[ Groans ] None more egregious than failing you as an older brother when we were younger.

Kevin: [ Sighs ] You have more than made up for that.

Michael: I haven’t been a brother to you, not like i should have been. I was too wrapped up in my own stuff, you know… getting out of the hellhole we grew up in. And I, uh, left you behind. I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. All I can say is, uh… I’m going to try to do better. No. [ Scoffs ] I am going to do better. That is a promise.

Kevin: [ Inhales sharply ] Hey. You know what? This is about the future, right? Or at least it’s supposed to be, so let’s all focus on some positivity, okay?

Chloe: Yeah.

Kevin: This man right here has stepped up for each and every one of us time and time again. And we are more than happy to be here supporting you.

Kevin: So then you leave, right? And I wondered if we’d ever really be brothers again. Um, and — and I — I doubted it, you know? But I think there was this one part of me that never stopped believing. So, uh — [ Chuckles ] So, now look at us, you know? Everything that I hoped for when I looked at that picture is coming true. You know, we’re happy and we’re together and, uh… and I’m gonna stand up for you, you know, on the most important day of your life, mikey. And I’m really proud of you.

Lauren: You know, this reminiscing has been lovely. But I called you here because michael is at a crossroads.

Michael: To retire or not to retire?

Kevin: I think the answer’s clear.

Chloe: I mean, it’s pretty obvious.

Kevin: Mm-hmm. Don’t do it!

Chloe: Get out now!

Lauren: Uh…

[ Laughing ] What?

Chloe: Don’t listen to him.

If you have postmenopausal

osteoporosis

Michael: Feel free to elaborate.

Chloe: The very fact that you are trying to decide if you should retire says it all. You’re ready.

Michael: Oh, you think so, huh?

Chloe: You are the best of the best at what you do. There’s nothing left to prove — to anyone. And I think it’s time for you to kick back and relax. Do the things that you’ve always wanted to do but couldn’T. You deserve it.

Michael: I have to say that sounds appealing.

Kevin: Totally. Except the kicking back and relaxing part — not gonna happen.

Chloe: [ Scoffs ]

Kevin: And I personally dread the idea of michael with too much time on his hands.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ]

Kevin: How are you gonna fill your endless days once the novelty of all that time and freedom wears off? You gonna play more squash?

[ Laughter ] Watch tv? Make little paperweights out of old golf balls?

Gloria: [ Laughs ]

Michael: That sounded pretty great till that last one.

[ Laughter ]

Kevin: Michael! Come on. Get real. With all that extra time on your hands, you are going to drive the rest of us crazy. He’s gonna come over, constantly offering advice about what we’re doing, what we should be doing.

Michael: I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration, right?

Lauren: Well, yes and…

Chloe: [ Laughs ]

Gloria: I think your brother is spot on. You will get on everybody’s nerves. And, mikey, you’ve never been big on hobbies.

[ Laughter ] If you retire — and that is a very big “if” because we all know that I am much too young to be the mother of a retiree — so you will have to find something to fill the void. If you don’t want to be a D.A. Any longer, fine. But you’re gonna have to get some kind of job.

Kevin: Why not? There’s no rule saying you have to practice law the rest of your life.

Chloe: Okay, enough. Enough already. Michael is smart, and I think he gets the gist. There’s no wrong way you can go.

Kevin: I just think if you…

Gloria: I know, but if you ask me —

Chloe: Stop it! Stop! Stop it. Enough already, okay? You have given your thoughts, and now michael will do with them what he will. And it is his life. And we support him no matter what he decides. Right?

Gloria: Of course.

Kevin: Right.

Lauren: Okay. Well, that’s that then.

Gloria: Okay, so, why don’t we leave so lauren and michael can contemplate further on their own.

Michael: Look, everyone, thank you. Thank you for coming, and i mean that. Mwah! Mmm! Ah, my favorite.

[ Laughter ]

Chloe: Thanks for the drink.

Michael: You are most welcome.

Kevin: Let us know what you decide.

Michael: Ah, you’ll be one of the first. Love you. Mwah!

Kevin: Love you. Bye.

Lauren: Bye.

Michael: Thank you, brother.

Lauren: Well…

Michael: [ Chuckles ]

Lauren: …That was fun.

Michael: Oh, it was very enlightening.

Lauren: Oh. You think so?

Michael: Mm-hmm. I’m glad you brought them into the mix. That little confab helped me gain some clarity.

Lauren: Really? ‘Cause I sort of thought that —

Michael: Oh, that we were back to square one? No. No, no, no, no, no. They made me realize that i don’t need or want anyone else’s advice but yours.

Lauren: Aww.

Michael: It’s the only opinion that really matters. And we may be discussing my career, but it’s our future we’re talking about. The next weigh station on that journey that began with… oh, my gosh, I haven’t thought of this in a long time.

Lauren: What?

Michael: Our first kiss.

[ Both laugh ] Remember?

Lauren: YeaH. I do.

Lauren: I’m not sure we’re in the same place.

[ Soft jazz music playing ]

Michael: It sure feels like it to me.

Lauren: Oh, I have to think about paul, and then there’s kevin to consider and —

Michael: Mnh-mnh, no, no, no. You know, thinking is highly overrated.

Lauren: Michael…

Michael: Mnh-mnh.

Michael: When we said “I do,” we didn’t mean sometimes, we didn’t mean when it was convenient. We meant forever and always.

Michael: I promise to spend the rest of my days trying to be the man that I see in your eyes when you look at me. So I’m asking you, lauren fenmore, in front of all these people… walk through life with me. Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be. The last of life, for which the first was made.

Michael: [ Chuckles ] I still don’t know what I did to deserve you.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ]

Michael: But you get me in a way no one else does.

Lauren: That’s because you don’t hold anything back.

Michael: Being a lawyer is a huge part of my identity. But…the best part of me is what I have with you.

Michael: They have to have some really good, uh, manuals on being a father because this kid is gonna have to be all about nurture and not nature.

Lauren: Okay, don’t you be scared by this. You are not the man that you were.

Michael: I’m not the man i was five minutes ago. You’re pregnant.

Lauren: So…boy? Girl? What do you think?

Michael: As long — as long as it’s not some little green alien, I’m happy.

Lauren: Are you happy?

Michael: Yeah, I’m happy. I’m — I’m s– scared. Overwhelmed. [ Chuckles ]

Lauren: You did say happy, right?

Michael: Yeah. I love you so much. And, look, I’m gonna — I’m gonna do my damndest to be the very best father this baby could —

[ Laughs ] We’re gonna have a baby.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: We’re gonna have a baby. We’re gonna be parents.

Lauren: I know! I know. So, papa…

Michael: [ Smooches ]

Lauren: …Come to mama.

[ Both laugh ]

Michael: My greatest legacy will be our family.

Lauren: I’m grateful every day for the strong marriage that we’ve built.

Michael: I think we’re stronger now than we’ve ever been because of the challenges we’ve faced and overcome.

Lauren: That’s a really nice way of saying it that way. I almost destroyed what we built, and, um…it’s really a miracle that we made it through.

Michael: It took a lot of hard work. But we made it… because you and I were meant to be…as husband and wife and mother and father.

Lauren: Oh.

Michael: It’s a compass?

Lauren: It’s beautiful.

Fen: I guess it’s kind of a symbol, um… this whole road and journey of mine has been so difficult, but you guys have been there every step of the way, guiding me and loving me without ever judging or even saying, like, a — a harsh word. And, um…I-I just — I can’t thank you guys enough. You saved my life.

Lauren: I feel like we’re at a place where, no matter what happens, we’re gonna be okay. And you, my love — you’re going to be okay no matter what path you choose.

Our hillshire farm craftsman

Michael: I’m ready.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: Bring it.

Lauren: Uh…

Michael: Tell me what i should do with the rest of my life.

Lauren: I think you should choose the path that makes you the happiest. I know. I know. You wanted something far more direct from me, but that’s all you’re gonna get.

Michael: And that’s okay. Because I’ve already made up my mind.

Lauren: You have?

Michael: It’s clear that i need to retire because having more time to spend with you

[Sighs] Is what will make me the happiest.

Lauren: You are just the sweetest man ever.

Michael: I speak only the truth.

Lauren: Are you sure?

Michael: I’m positive.

[ Romantic music plays ]

Michael: Mm-hmm.

Lauren: Uh-huh.

Michael: So, this is what you want.

Lauren: That’s right.

Michael: You just want me cheap and easy and dirty.

Lauren: So cheap.

Michael: Oh, yeah?

Lauren: Yeah.

Michael: Like a piece of meat.

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Lauren: From this moment on, we are living happily ever after.

Michael: I have never loved you any more than I do right now.

Lauren: I love you, too. Let’s get this party started.

Michael: But I’m tellin’ ya, that’s gonna be itchy in there, so…

Lauren: That’s alright. I’ll do the scratchin’.

Michael: You know, I can’t believe this.

Lauren: Come on. Come on.

Michael: Aah!

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Michael: [ Growls ] Come here! Ahh!

Lauren: [ Laughs ]

Lauren: I love you so much. We’ve had such a great adventure, haven’t we?

Michael: [ Chuckles ] And we’ve only just started.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Ooh! [ Laughs ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

[ Glass rattling ] Frank: Mayor collins. Sonny: Huh? Hey. Laura, good to see you. Hey.

[ Laughs ] I’m so glad you’re home. You know, when I thought I was never gonna see you again, it was just such a terrible feeling. It’s good to see you. I’m so happy. I missed you. I see you poured yourself a drink. Yeah. Have you heard the news? What news? Oh, okay. I’m gonna — I’m sorry that I have to tell you this. It’s about luke.

[ Sobs ] Are you telling me… that luke died? Yeah.

[ Exhales deeply ] I’m so sorry. Wow. You look beautiful. Thanks. What’s the matter? I found this in my locker.

[ Laughs ] No, if we keep this up, we’re gonna end up back in my bed. Sounds like a plan to me.

[ Giggles ] We’re acting like teenagers. So, why should teenagers have all the fun?

[ Chuckles ] Hmm. If one’s good, two must be better, right?

[ Door closes ] Spencer: Esme? I must have just, uh, barely beat you home. What’s that? It’s my dinner from the metro court. After my meeting with ava, I didn’t want to eat there. But I wasn’t going to waste it since I paid for it. Wait, what? Ava made you pay with the money you make at kelly’s? Worse. She used my money from the trust fund to pick up the tab. Can you believe that? She’s throwing it in my face… that she’s in charge of my money. And, um, what did trina have for dinner? What? Trina. Or were you not gonna mention that trina was part of your restitution meeting? Hey, my meeting ran long. I’m on my way. I’ll join you in the conference room in like five minutes. Okay, thanks.

[ Receiver hangs up ] You’re not gonna make that meeting. Excuse me. I’m working. You were. And now you’re dealing with me.

Wouldn’t I tell you that trina was at my meeting with ava? My point exactly. Really [Clears throat] It was just another way for ava to humiliate me, because when I go to work for her after I serve my time at spring ridge, trina’s gonna be my supervisor. That’s outrageous. Ava’s really milking this restitution thing to death. Well, according to ava… I hurt trina’s feelings, as well. How does she figure that? Well, in fairness, I did douse her with fake blood. Which washed right off. Anyways, uh, are you hungry? We can split my steak. It’s medium rare. I have a better idea. Yes? No one else is home. And? Let’s, um, take advantage of the privacy. So, this is kinda awkward, right? Mom, you don’t have to apologize. Oh, I wasn’t — I wasn’t gonna apologize. And you know that I want you to be happy. No, no, no. I-I know that. I do. This is a, um, new dynamic for you and me, huh? So, I take it you had a good new year’s eve? Yes. Yes. Yeah, we did, actually. Uh, trina, so, uh, what are you doing with your winter time off from pcu? Uh, working at the gallery, hanging out. You know, my friends and i are going to joss’ family cabin in the mountains for a few days. Oh. That’s actually happening. I knew that it was in the works, but I-I-I wasn’t sure that it was planned. Yep. We’re definitely going. Tj. Hi. I was, uh — I was told I could find you up on this floor. Man, infectious diseases. Whew. Doesn’t sound like much fun to me. But are — are you enjoying it? I like helping people. Yes. Oh, great. Great. Um… hey, how was your new year’s eve? Did you and molly, uh, paint the town red? Okay, okay, I get it. I, uh… this is your work. I never should have come here. I’ll see you. That’s not it. Come with me. Finn: It’s your wedding ring from franco. Yes. Which I decided to take off. I remember. You said you were okay with the decision, but… if you’re having second thoughts, I completely understand. No, that’s not it. I haven’t changed my mind. My ring was in my locker. Yeah, you said that. I have no idea how it got there. Mm. I don’t know why this hurts me so much, you know? I think it’s the state that my family is in. Lucky’s so far away that I never even get to see him. Lulu… is still in the coma. And…there isn’t anybody to cry with. You know what I mean? Yeah. I can’t do it with bobbie. Well… she’s taking it all so hard. It’s her brother. I mean, you know. Luke alw– you know, always seemed to me like somebody who was gonna just live forever.

[ Inhales sharply ] I really meant to tell you and carly at the same time. Is she here? No, no, no. She’s out.

[ Sighs deeply ] Is everything okay? Uh, yeah, everything is… well, not really, but you know what? I don’t want to… you got too much to worry about at this time. How you doing? Really? Seriously? It’s hard. I liked knowing that he was out there somewhere. He was my partner for a really important part of my life. I know it was a long time ago. I mean, I’m a completely different person now. I like who I am now.

[ Both laugh ] You know, you are a mayor. It’s very impressive. Yeah. And I have kevin, and he’s my life partner now.

[ Inhales sharply ] I’m actually more worried about some of luke’s other loved ones. Well, I know how strong you are, and, uh, you have kevin, but I just want you to know if you ever need anything, you can come to me. Thank you. And that goes both ways. What do you want, carly? What I want is to never lay eyes on you again. Well, that would be a lot easier if you stayed out of my office. You know, you’re constantly claiming you don’t want to hurt my family. Because it’s true. Great. Then tell me what I want to hear. What exactly happened between you and my husband in nixon falls? I think that’s between you and your husband. Well, I disagree because you put yourself between me and sonny when you seduced him instead of telling him he had a family here in port charles. No, that’s not what happened. Great. Then tell me what happened. Well, you heard him on the stand, right, carly? I’m not gonna add to it. I am sorry that you found out the way you did, but I am trying to respect sonny’s wishes. Oh, you don’t get to do that. You don’t get to act all virtuous. You are so far from the high road, you’re underwater. And the only reason you kept your affair with sonny a secret is because you want to try and hang on to him. Are you kidding? I tried to leave sonny alone. He told me to stay away from him, and I did my best. Bull! You know that as long as you and sonny had a secret, that you were constantly attached to him, that you were always gonna be in his life. That is ridiculous! And it worked, right? I mean, how many times did you guys get together to keep your story straight, nina? Listen, I am not the one that drove sonny to get practically falling-down drunk at charlie’s on new year’s eve. If I wasn’t there, what — oh. Something else sonny decided not to tell you.

[ Knock on door ] Spence, someone’s at the door. Ignore it. Just answer it and make them go away.

[ Sighs ] Well, well. This is more private. We can talk in here. What do you want to talk about? I’m going to be straight with you. Okay. I am not willing to have a relationship with you if it makes my uncle uncomfortable. Wow. That, uh, really disappoints me, tj. Although I can’t say I’m surprised. Did curtis warn you off me? No, that’s not what happened. He was looking out for me, and I respect that. Wow. I had a brief moment of hope there when he came to see me at my hotel. He did? And I take it that it didn’t go well? Oh, no, it did not. I just can’t give curtis what he wants. Well, I want to hear all about this weekend trip. I know that you’re home for winter break, but still, we barely get a chance to see each other. Yeah, well, it’s not all on me. Besides, I’m sure curtis doesn’t want to hear about some weekend trip. Honestly, I don’t mind, but I think I should let you both have some mother-daughter time. You don’t have to go. What do you say, trina? Want to hang out with mom for a little while? I do. Uh, well, then, I will go check on tj, see what he’s been up to. And I’ll go get us a table. Okay.

[ Sighs ] Don’t get me wrong. I am so excited to spend some time with trina, and I can tell something’s going on with her, but I am just as sad to say goodbye to you. It’s only temporary. You… have fun with your daughter. Okay. The last time I saw this ring, I had put it in my kitchen drawer on new year’s eve. How did it get in my locker? Ahh. Do you think maybe one of the boys put it in your pocket and somehow it fell out in your locker? I-I don’t — I-I don’t have another explanation. But if that’s the case… then one of your sons might have a problem with me dating their mom. So, cyrus claims to have found religion?

[ Both laugh ] Yeah, it was quite a performance. He was quoting scripture, chapter and verse. Okay, well, that’s not sincere. No. By any chance, right? I don’t think so. It didn’t stop him from dropping hints about a new player who was filling the “power vacuum” that he left on the west coast. Right. So finding god has forced him to give up mob politics? Apparently not. I have no idea what game he’s playing right now, but honestly, it’s just, uh… it’s not my concern anymore.

[ Sighs ] Aw, man. Hey, sonny. Sonny? Hmm? You want to talk about it? Talk about what? Whatever it is that’s got you so upset that you’re… drinking alone and you’re breaking up things in your kitchen. You know what, laura?

[ Sighs ] I really screwed up this time. I don’t think carly and i are gonna be able to fix it. Nina: I found sonny on new year’s eve at charlie’s, trying to drown his pain after you turned your back on him. Carly, listen, all he wants is to be with you. Don’t tell me what sonny wants, okay?! I know my husband better than you ever will. Well, do you know where sonny is right now, or is that why you’re really here, carly? To make sure that he didn’t come to me after you spat in his face? Sonny came home, like he always will. Well, how generous of you to allow sonny to come back into his own home. You can save your sarcasm, nina. Your opinion means nothing to me. I’ve had it with you. You know what? I’ve had it. I can’t win. If I don’t talk about sonny, I’m hiding something. If I talk about sonny, then I’m a — you’re a conniving bitch, and you always will be.

This doesn’t make any sense. My boys were happy for me when I told them I was going out with you. I don’t think they would lie to me. Yeah. No. Maybe “lie” is a — a strong word. You know, maybe, uh — maybe one of them wants to feel happy for you. But deep down, it feels like that might be a rejection of his feelings for his stepdad. Or maybe it’s not about franco at all. I mean, maybe it’s about jason, you know? What jake’s feeling right now, maybe he doesn’t want to share his mom with anyone ’cause you’re all that he has. But if he felt that way, he would have told me. If it’s even jake we’re talking about. Is one of my boys that upset, he felt the only option was to put my wedding ring in my pocket? Maybe it is about franco then. One of the boys doesn’t want you moving on from his memory yet. So it looks like you and curtis are no longer “taking things slow.”

[ Giggles ] No, no, we’re — we’re past that point. Well, just to be clear, I’m happy for you. Thank you. I really appreciate that. So do you know what you’re gonna get for dinner? Oh, no. I’ll just have a coffee. Ava and spencer and i already ate. Spencer. Part of spencer’s plea deal includes restitution, so after he serves his time, he has to work in ava’s gallery for free. So we were meeting to go over his responsibilities. Plea deal? That’s lovely. You know what? We’ll just have coffee. Woman: Okay. Thank you. Well, it doesn’t look like you’re all that happy about that. I didn’t like the way ava used her power over spencer. Don’t get me wrong, spencer needs to learn his lesson, but she went out of her way to humiliate him. And I’ve never seen that side of her. Joss has. She can’t stand ava. Mm-hmm. Because of her brother. Morgan. That’s a really sad, ugly story. Morgan had bipolar disorder, and ava messed with his medication somehow. Anyway, morgan had a breakdown and was killed, and joss believes that it’s ava’s fault. And if I was in her situation, I’d feel the same, but ava’s been nothing but great to me. So I guess I just figured that ava made a mistake with morgan, and now she’s trying to make amends. I’m sure that’s true. But today, for the first time, I saw the ava joss has been warning me about — the one that spencer and joss despise. Well, it looks like to me that ava taught you a very important lesson today… mm. …Inadvertently. None of us are entirely good or entirely bad. We’re all capable of both. While ava may have been a wonderful mentor to you — and I know she was — that doesn’t make her beyond reproach. Uncle victor. Spencer, my boy, how are you? And, esme, lovely to see you, too. Hello, mr. Cassadine. Um, won’t you come in? Oh, thank you. Pull it together. What brings you by? Victor: Well, I was concerned, spencer. I dropped by kelly’s, and you weren’t working today. I had the day off. I needed to meet with ava to discuss the kind of work that I’d be doing for her to make restitution. Oh, I’m sorry. That couldn’t have been much fun. It wasn’T. In fact, I can’t even believe that I have to take orders from that woman. She loves lording that power over me. And if she or my father think that I’m gonna be crawling back to them anytime soon… oh, nonsense. You’ll meet with them with your head held high. What does that mean? What it means, spencer, is it’s time this family came together — all the cassadines — in a united front. I will supervise spencer because it’s my job, but I’m not gonna order him around or treat him like a flunky. Well, I know that’s not your style. You got a good heart. Thanks. Although I have to say being spencer’s boss will make things even more awkward. “More awkward”? What do you mean by that? When we get to this cabin, I don’t know what I’m gonna do. Are you still feeling like the fifth wheel here? Is it weird that I hang out with joss and cam so much? Why? Why would that be weird? It was different when we were all just friends, but now that they’re dating, I feel like I’m always in their space, just bugging them, hanging all around. Josslyn has never struck me as a girl who doesn’t want to speak her mind, right? Yeah. And if you really feel this way, honey, why are you even considering going on this trip? Because esme got all in my face with her “poor trina, so alone.” And I just — it made me so mad, so I told her I was going just to shut her up. You have a lot to make up to curtis. I wholeheartedly agree. So why can’t you give him what he wants? Because curtis — curtis won’t even talk to me unless I tell him where I’ve been and what I’ve been doing all these years. That sounds like a reasonable request to me. Tj, I want to put the past behind me. It’s just too painful. I — I can’t talk about it. Is your son not worth the pain? It’s not that, tj. If I — if I open up to curtis, my answers are just going to drive him further away from me. Laura: So carly found out that you fell in love with nina when you were on the witness stand?

[ Sighs ] You gotta understand something, laura. I-I — like, I didn’t fall in love with nina. Mike did. Yeah. But you have mike’s memories and his feelings. Yeah. And carly didn’t know about any of that until you testified. Yeah, I would never hurt carly like that. I’m not judging you, okay? I’m just curious. Were you ever gonna tell her about this? I wanted to. I really did. And — and then jason died, and then my cousin brando and his girlfriend lost their baby. And that’s, like, two painful things at once. So I didn’t want to pile everything on…carly and tell her about nixon falls when I didn’t know that there was a family mourning me. And then, you know, mike became friends with nina. She was caring. She was smart. We fell in love. And then, uh… but once, you know, I found out that — that I was sonny, I went back home. Why is it so hard for — for people to understand that I-I just wanted to leave… …I wanted to leave that nixon falls behind me and just move on? I understand. I-I understand why you did what you did. I appreciate you saying it. It means a lot and, uh… do you think carly will ever come to terms with what I did? What are you even doing here, carly? I thought you were smart, but you’re an idiot. Yeah, I was stupid to think you’d be straight with me. No, no, no. No. That’s not what I’m talking about. Sonny is home, and you’re here sniping at me. You know, if your big goal is to keep me away from your husband, turning your back on him is doing the exact opposite. Sonny wouldn’t have given you a second glance if he remembered me. Well… why don’t you just get over yourself and be glad he’s home? You know nothing about my marriage, nina. Nothing. Oh, I know this. He’s not gonna let you beat him up for very much longer. And then what is sonny gonna do? He’s gonna come back to the woman who loves him without all the anger. And then you’re gonna lose him for good, because I can tell you this — if sonny comes to me, I’m definitely not gonna send him away.

You’re pathetic. You can wait all you want, but sonny’s never coming back to you. Your relationship was an illusion. Mike was an illusion. And the second sonny remembered, he came home. He didn’t give you a backwards glance. Well, you’re awfully worried about an “illusion.” Carly, do you want to know what really happened between sonny and me in nixon falls? Now, that was something real. Did you sleep with my husband? Almost. But you didn’T. Because i stopped it.

I said no. But if I didn’t, sonny would have made love to me. Infidelity is a tough one to get past. But this — this situation is different because it’s not like I’m cheating. I mean, I didn’t know or remember who she was. I didn’t remember who i was. I get that. I really do.

[ Sighs ] I think you have to try to see it from carly’s point of view, you know? She found out that you fell in love… right, right. …With nina when you were on the witness stand. That’s information that you kept from her. So, I mean, how could she not feel that you’d been unfaithful? I do understand that, but she’s not allowing me to prove to her h-how much I love her. Nina doesn’t — doesn’t matter anymore. Then why are you protecting her, sonny? I mean, you said you didn’t think you were nina’s victim. Don’t you think what nina did was wrong? And if one of my boyshad a problem with us dating, they would have been more direct. But using my wedding ring as a symbolic token of m-me and franco just seems… awfully manipulative.

[ Sighs ] Well, I have, um, no experience with boys that age other than when I was that age, so… I certainly trust your judgment. Well, maybe they just found it in the drawer and assumed I had forgotten to put it back on. And they know I take it off when I wash the dishes. Hmm. So maybe they were just returning it, not realizing that I had decided to stop wearing it. So maybe this isn’t some big statement about me and franco. They were just being thoughtful. I suppose that’s possible. My father is no longer a part of my family, and ava never will be. Oh, spencer, I thought you understood the importance of the cassadine legacy. I’m fine with you and aunt alexis as my family. Can we just leave it at that? No, we can’T. There’s alexis. There’s nikolas. There’s valentin. Valentin tried to kill me. Oh, for heaven’s sake, spencer! Will you stop exaggerating and take a more pragmatic view of what actually happened?! Look, I don’t doubt valentin deliberately intimidated you, and that is not the kindest way to treat a child, I grant you, but that is a far cry from trying to kill you. Now, blowing these things out of proportion is quite understandable when you’re 10. But at your age, clinging to some imaginary fantasy is an unacceptable display of weakness. Am I understood? So valentin gets a free pass then? Valentin is a member of this family! As is ava.

[ Clears throat ] Yes and — and esme, of course. You, your father, and valentin need to put these past slights behind you and start working together. “Slights”?! These are more than slights! Yeah, victor, it’s really too much to expect spence to just forget how his dad and ava treated him. I mean, first spence’s father pretends to be dead for three years, and then ava slithers in and just takes control of spence’s trust fund. The cassadines have been plotting against each other and fighting with each other for generations. And, yes, that includes actual threats of murder. That’s one of the reasons this family’s in such a sorry state today, but it has to end. Spencer nikolasovich, it’s time you lived up to your mantle as cassadine heir and started putting family first. But ava is — ava and your father are a team. We need to bring them in to the larger family circle. And then in time, you’ll see ava’s influence over nikolas will begin to lessen. That’s what you want ultimately, isn’t it? Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

[ Sighs ] Alright.

[ Inhales sharply ] Look, spencer, don’t you worry. Hmm? You’re still young. You’ll soon learn that women will come and go in your life. But family? Now, that’s forever. I can’t change the past, tj. I want curtis to get to know who I am now, not who I was. But that’s not what my uncle curtis wants. I can tell you don’t know him very well. Okay. Okay. When my uncle curtis makes his mind up, he cannot be moved. Is the truth about your past so awful that you’re really not willing to risk telling him? Honestly, my uncle curtis’ opinion of you cannot get much worse. So if you want to know your family, if you really want to know who we are, you have to let us know who you are.

[ Door opens ] Hey.

[ Sighs ]

You don’t mind? I would love to have dinner with you, but I can see that this situation with the ring is bothering you. Thank you… for understanding. We’ll have plenty of dinners in the future. Absolutely. This is only a postponement. Mm. I am still looking forward to going out with you. I want to be with my friends, even if that means putting up with esme. I think we’ll have fun. Probably. Well, I think you need to trust your friends. You, joss, cam. Gosh, you’ve been through so much together. You have years of friendship. Focus on that, and you’ll enjoy yourselves, no matter what esme thinks.

[ Sighs ] Now that tj is gone, I see no reason for me to stick around. Curtis, wait. Please. Nothing’s changed. I only want to hear one thing from you. I know. You have questions. And if I don’t want you to continually walk away from me, I need to answer them.

[ Chimes ]

[ Sighs ] Woman: This message is for sonny corinthos. It’s your pharmacy. I’m calling to tell you you’re out of refills on your prescription for lithium. Dr. Sullivan will need to send a new script. Please call 716-555 — the truth hurts. Doesn’t it, carly? This is me putting you on notice. Sonny’s home where he belongs. Stay the hell away from my husband. Kevin? Spencer? I’m home. Hello, laura. It’s so lovely to see you again.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Susan: [Shrieks]

Tripp: Oh, I’m sorry. Does that hurt?

Susan: No, no, sir. I just get the tickles real easy.

Tripp: Sorry. I’ll be done in just a minute.

Susan: Okay.

Tripp: Ms. Banks, you mentioned that you had a vision right before you had this attack. You don’t remember anything else that could have contributed to to the pain, your nausea?

Susan: No, I mean, it came on all of a sudden, it just–

Marlena: Susan, you okay?

Susan: Are those new shoes, doc?

Tripp: Why do you ask?

Susan: I already upchucked all over poor dr. Marlena’s blue suedes, and I’d sure hate to ruin two pairs in the same night.

Abe: [Chuckling] Two pairs. Jacks over deuces.

John: Thought you were bluffing.

Abe: I know you were bluffing.

John: Well, not this time, buddy, because I got three sixes, boom, boom, boom. And the pot is all mine.

Abe: 666, the devil’s hand.

John: Don’t go there, abraham.

Johnny: And now, it is my turn and I’d like to start by paying homage to my nonno. And there he is, the formidable stefano dimera whom I loved and revered, and miss to this day. He gave me everything a kid could ever want, and he taught me that nothing was more important than family. You know, they say parents and grandparents, they shouldn’t pick favorites. He ignored that rule. He let me know without question, that I was his favorite, his little giovanni. And I thought he was the greatest, but then as I got older, I realized some people thought he was a terrible person. Some even said he was evil. I never saw it that way. I saw stefano dimera as a man who knew what he wanted and he didn’t let anything stand in his way. I don’t consider that evil. I think it’s smart, something to be admired. And it’s taken me a while to figure out what it is that I want, but I finally have. And chanel, I have come to realize it’s not you.

Chanel: What?

Johnny: I’m sorry, chanel. I don’t wanna be married to you anymore.

Chanel: G, what are you saying? What do you mean you don’t wanna be married to me anymore? Is this some sort of joke?

Johnny: No, chanel, I’m dead serious.

[Dramatic music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Marlena: Are you still feeling nauseous?

Susan: A little, you know, it’s like I told you before, sometimes I get this way before a premonition. Bad timing, huh? I mean, I’m not gonna be able to go to that big party that my son is throwing.

Tripp: I assume you’re talking about the wedding reception of chanel and johnny dimera.

Susan: Yeah, yeah. Darn, I’m gonna miss it. I bet you it’s gonna be one heck of a bash.

Tripp: Right, I’m sorry to be missing it myself.

Paulina: You don’t wanna be married to my daughter? You little swine, what the hell are you trying to pull?

Johnny: Just owning my truth.

Paulina: Oh, you arrogant twit, how about you take your damn truth, and you just–you stick it where the sun don’t shine.

Chanel: Oh, I think I’m gonna be sick.

Paulina: Oh, baby.

Allie: Johnny, what is going on? Why are you doing this?

Johnny: Well, turns out you were right all along, sis, I’m just not that good at relationships, you know. I thought this one might be different, but I was wrong, obviously.

Chanel: My god, this cannot be happening.

Johnny: I’m genuinely sorry to be upsetting you like this, chanel. I know before we got married in italy, I did everything I could to sweep you off your feet. But now that we’re standing here in this room, surrounded by our loving families, my nonno’s portrait reminding me of his adoration for me, and mine of him, is urging me to not let anything hold me back. And I realize now that I need my freedom. And then there was my father’s toast. I believe the essence of what he said was that we dimeras are strong-willed, passionate, determined. And right now, I’m determined to undo a mistake that I made, a very hurtful one, as it turns out.

Ej: As I said, my son is his own man. He makes his own decisions.

Johnny: Indeed, I do. And though my father oftentimes disagrees with said decisions, I know he respects my independent spirit. So yes, I chose to marry chanel, and now I’m choosing to end that marriage.

Chanel: End the marriage? Oh, my god, so you’re saying–

Johnny: I’m saying that it’s over, chanel. I want a divorce.

[Tense music]

I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Abe: Well, you know, it’s too bad that we cleaned roman out so fast.

John: Well, you know, something tells me he was more interested in getting upstairs to kate than he was staying downstairs here bro-ing up with the boys.

Abe: Well, you know, it’s nice to see that those two have found each other again.

John: Yeah, it is.

Abe: Well, you’re going big.

John: That’s ’cause I’m feeling lucky, in a lot of ways.

Abe: Yeah, I can imagine. Having marlena herself again. How’s she doing?

John: Better every day, thanks for asking. Of course, you know, I’m being a little overprotective, but I can’t help myself ’cause I came so damn close to losing her.

Abe: But it was your courage and love, and your family’s, thanks to that, we didn’T.

John: Scariest fight of my life. But I’m happy to say the demon’s gone. If he knows what’s good for him, he’ll stay gone.

Tripp: I’ll have the lab put a rush on this.

Marlena: Yeah, thanks, tripp.

Tripp: But your vitals are good so it’s probably like what you said, something that you ate or maybe even a stomach virus.

Susan: Or a premonition.

>>Tripp: Right, yes. I understand that it could be that as well. In any case, I want you to take every precaution because you did suffer a pretty serious wound to your abdomen not too long ago.

Susan: Oh, yeah, when i stabbed myself, right? And I’d do it all over again, I’d saved john black and I’d stop satan from dragging my poor elvis straight to hell. Ugh.

Paulina: You end the marriage like this in front of all these people?

Chanel: Mama–

Pauline: You heartless bastard, I have a mind to just wring your neck.

Chanel: Mama, please, stop. Johnny’s daddy just said how johnny can speak for himself, and mama, as much as i appreciate you having my back, your daughter can fight her own battles.

Paulina: Okay, you go, girl.

Chanel: But, johnny, upstairs just before this party, you told me and you showed me how much you love me. I looked into your eyes, and I saw inside of your heart that all you wanted was to be with me. So maybe this is just cold feet or jet lag–

Johnny: It’s neither, it’s neither, chanel; it’s much more profound than that.

Chanel: Profound?

Johnny: It goes deeper is what I mean–look, chanel, you are an incredible woman, and from the moment I met you, I was struck by your beauty, your intelligence–

Anna: Then why do you want to divorce her?

Tony: Anna.

Johnny: But I realize we’re both young. There’s so much more we need to explore, to experience.

Chanel: You can speak for yourself.

Johnny: Okay, I will do that then: There’s so much more i need to explore and to experience.

Chanel: Oh, like other women, you mean?

Johnny: No, not at all. Although I don’t rule that out.

Pauline: Oh, you son of a bitch.

Johnny: Chanel, please. I understand that you’ve been burned by this sudden turn of events, but honestly, it hurts me as well to break your heart this way. And I hope after you had some time to cool off–

Chanel: Cool off? I will never cool off. Because not only have you broken my heart, but you’ve made a fool of me.

Johnny: No, no, please, don’t–please don’t succumb to feeling foolish. You trusted in my love because you’re a kind, trusting person, and that’s why, in time, I hope we can still remain friends, maybe even friends with benefits.

Paulina: Oh, chanel, if you don’t slap this bastard, I will do it for you.

Lani: And so will I.

Johnny: You can slap me if it’ll make you feel better.

Chanel: No. No, I’m not gonna slap you. But I just wanna know, who the hell are you? And what have you done with my giovanni?

[Tense music]

Chanel: This is not the johnny dimera I know and love.

Johnny: Well, that’s ’cause you don’t really know me. But my sister does, and she warned you, didn’t she?

Chanel: Yeah, yeah, she did. But I was convinced that she was wrong about you because the guy that I knew was wonderful and kind-hearted, and he made me laugh. And he showed me more love than anyone else ever has. Was that all an act?

Johnny: No, no. I mean, not really. I guess I was just trying to convince myself that I was capable of loving someone, that I could commit myself to that someone. But as soon as this marriage became a reality, which it did tonight at this party with everyone addressing us as husband and wife, I realized I’m just not there yet. I’m so sorry, chanel.

Chanel: Yeah, yeah. Well, I’m not. You see, what I’m feeling is grateful as hell that I found this all out now. Because, if this is who you are, if you can turn on a dime like this and toss me out of your life at what was supposed to be a celebration of our marriage, then you are the last man on earth that I would wanna be with. So you know what? You can go straight to hell, johnny dimera.

Susan: This is the last place I thought I’d end up tonight.

Marlena: Oh, susan, you are gonna be just fine.

Susan: I’m not concerned about my flesh, dr. Marlena evans. It’s my immortal soul, and all the immortal souls that are around me.

Marlena: We are all gonna be just fine. The devil is gone. He’s gone.

Susan: Then why can’t I shake this bad, bad, bad feeling that the devil is not done with us? I mean, I think that I have got that feeling, it’s shaking me right back. I mean, look, look, look, my hand is trembling like leaves, dr. Evans.

Marlena: Susan, you were right about the devil before, you were. But he’s gone now. He’s gone, and he will never try to get inside of me again. I promise.

Susan: But you would know if he was, right?

Marlena: I would, I would. You know, john has barely let me out of his sight, and we’re both being so vigilant. So what I can tell you is, the devil’s days in salem are over.

Susan: All right. Maybe you’re right.

Marlena: You okay?

Susan: No, not really. You know, I bet it was the strawberry jelly I had on my peanut butter sandwich at lunch instead of the usual bananas, I mean.

Marlena: Yeah, yeah. Can I get you some water?

Susan: Oh, yes, please. Yes, please. Thank you so, so, so very, very much. You take such good care of me, dr. Marlena evans. Oh, you are an absolute angel. Thank you, god bless you, dr. Marlena evans, and god bless us all.

John: See the thing is marlena’s still struggling with all this guilt she feels about all the people she hurt when she was possessed.

Abe: Well, what guilt? She knows that none of this was her fault. We all know it.

John: Well, true, true, and I’m sure she knows that on one level, but she’s still carrying it with her. And she’s going around, she’s making amends, so just fyi, she’s probably gonna come knocking on your door, apologizing for blowing up your wedding to paulina.

Abe: You know, no apologies are necessary, especially since the devil, I think might have done me a favor letting me know the truth about paulina before I made the mistake of spending the rest of my life with the wrong person.

Paulina: Chanel, baby, wait.

Allie: No, I’ll go. Johnny, how could you do this to her? What are you doing?

Johnny: You can’t be that surprised, allie.

Allie: No, disgusted is what I am. You make me sick.

Johnny: My apologies to my family for the theatrics. And I would like to offer my regrets to the family of the bride, especially you, mama price.

Paulina: Mama? You have the nerve to call me that after what you just did to my little girl?

Ej: Paulina.

Paulina: And you–

Ej: I suggest we stay calm.

Paulina: You, you have the audacity to assume that my daughter is going after your son’s money when anybody here with eyes can see your son isn’t worth a damn? Now, I told you that you would have to answer to me if you didn’t deliver on your promise to keep my baby girl happy.

Johnny: I did, for a while.

Paulina: It was just a big lie. You used her, and then you broke her heart, and then you humiliated her. Now, nobody, nobody who hurts someone I love can get away with it.

Johnny: Seems like I just did.

Paulina: What did you say?

Johnny: Now, if you’ll excuse me.

Paulina: Oh, no, you don’T. Don’t you dare–don’t you dare walk away from me.

Susan: Yeah, that feels much better.

Marlena: Susan, what is it?

Paulina: You hold–you hold it right there! There’ll be hell to pay for what you did, you bastard! No!

[Ceiling cracking]

Paulina: [Screams]

Lani: Mom, look out!

[Dramatic music]

This is the sound of nature breathing.

Abe: Paulina knew just how much having lani as a daughter, how much that meant to me.

John: Mm-hmm, which is why she kept her secret.

Abe: You know, which is why it was so hurtful when I found out the truth. It was even more hurtful for lani. I’m just glad that she’s out of my life.

John: Mm-hmm.

Abe: What’s that supposed to mean?

John: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. It means that, my friend, you have not mastered the poker face ’cause it’s clear as day that paulina still has you in her back pocket there. So that means there’s still a chance for the two of you. That’s what that mm-hmm means.

Abe: No, we don’T. I mean, I may have forgiven paulina, but I can’t trust her.

Ej: What the hell?

Tony: What happened?

Anna: Oh, my god!

Lani: Are you okay? You okay?

Paulina: Oh, oh, yes. Oh, I’m alive, thanks to you.

Susan: It’s happening! It’s happening! Something is happening. I don’t know what it is!

Marlena: Susan. Get up, don’t do this. I don’t want you to cut yourself.

Susan: Okay, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Marlene: It’s okay, no, no. It was an accident. It was an accident. I’ll just find somebody to clean this up, okay? Wait here, wait here.

Susan: Oh, it’s not all right doctor marlena, it just–it was not an accident. Something compelled me to drop that glass, and when it shattered, something else was broken. I just wish to god I knew what it was.

Johnny: Hate to say this, mama price, but seems like god punished you for taking his name in vain.

[Dramatic music]

My plaque psoriasis…

Susan: Before this day ends, I might need you.

Tripp: Okay, good news is your lab is cleared.

Marlena: Which means you’re gonna be just fine, and I can take you home.

Susan: Oh, lucky me.

Abe: Well, you know what they say, lucky in cards, unlucky in love.

John: Maybe I was wrong about that poker face. Well, partner, looks like I’m all tapped out here. Listen, I told roman that we’d lock up, so–

Abe: I’ve got it; you go home to the woman you love, and I think I’m gonna stay here and play some solitaire.

Lani: Be careful.

Tony: Are you gonna be all right?

Paulina: Just sore here, here, and there.

Anna: Okay, this should help.

Paulina: Oh, what was that?

Anna: Strega.

Tony: It’s one of my late father’s favorite vices.

Paulina: Hit me again, sister.

Lani: Your ankle is swelling. You must have twisted it when I knocked you to the floor.

Paulina: Well, that big old pile of glass might have done more than twisted my ankle if you hadn’t done that. You pushed me out of harm’s way.

Anna: Tony, I told you we should have gotten rid of that ancient light fixture.

Tony: It was an original, louis xvi.

Anna: Yeah, well, old louis got his head chopped off with the guillotine. And history almost repeated itself with poor paulina right here in the family mansion.

Tony: Well, it’s gone now, so you’ve got your wish.

Paulina: I have a mind to sue your family for that big old glass ball almost killing me, and to sue your obnoxious nephew for shattering my baby girl’s heart into a million pieces.

Tony: Well, no need to get litigious. We’ll do everything we can to help you. May I call the family physician?

Lani: No, no, thank you. I just–I wanna get her to a hospital.

Paulina: Oh no, no. Uh-uh, no, no, no. No hospital, no hospital, no. I got one good ankle left, you know, I need to get to chanel, my baby. My baby needs me.

Lani: No, no, no. Better idea, how about you let allie take care of chanel, and let me take care of you.

[Soft music]

Johnny: Thank you. Can I at least have your name, so I know who I’m indebted to?

Chanel: Chanel.

Johnny: Pretty.

Chanel: My mom loved coco chanel, so…

Johnny: It’s nice to meet you, chanel. I’m named after my grandfather, john, but my other grandfather used to call me giovanni.

Chanel: Giovanni?

Johnny: Yeah. I’ll put it in your phone, so you don’t forget.

Chanel: Giovanni is not exactly easy to forget.

Johnny: Well, I hope not.

Chanel: You son of a bitch!

Allie: Dupree?

Demon johnny: Oh, damn, that was fun. As sweet as chanel’s bits are, it had to be done. I had to cut that poor girl’s heart out, and I nearly cut her mother into a thousand pieces. You’d think that bitch, paulina, would’ve learned her lesson the first time she tangled with me.

Marlena: So I’m sorry, but you’ll never have your family back, and you’ll never have abe back. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna check my voicemail.

Paulina: I’m not finished with you, you cold-hearted bitch.

Marlena: Who are you calling a bitch, bitch?

Johnny: That’s twice you’ve laid hands on me now, paulina price. If there’s a third time, you won’t be so lucky.

Ej: Johnny, what the hell’s gotten into you?

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Johnny: What’s gotten into me is that I decided to acknowledge my mistake and fix it.

Ej: In a very public way, which was rather cruel, cold.

Johnny: Dimera-like?

Ej: You could say that, although there was a certain element of bravery to it, too. But what struck me as odd was the comment you made after the chandelier came crashing down around chanel’s mother.

Johnny: I don’t remember.

Ej: Well, I certainly do. You said god was punishing paulina for taking his name in vain.

Johnny: So?

Ej: So when did you get religion, son?

[Tense music]

Susan: Yeah, feels much better.

Marlena: Susan, what is it?

Susan: [Screams]

Tony: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I’m afraid you missed quite the party.

Susan: What in god’s name happened here?

Johnny: Don’t be ridiculous. I haven’t found god, not in the least. It’s just what that woman did, it infuriated me.

Ej: You broke her daughter’s heart, did you expect her not to react?

Johnny: No, but I mean, she was really aggressive about it, kind of scary.

Ej: You broke her daughter’s heart.

Johnny: And that gave her the right to come after me that way?

Ej: Yes, I think it did. And johnny, why the sudden 180 about chanel? Did something happen between you two?

Johnny: No, no. Nothing happened between us. Maybe I decided to listen to you, saw the light. Chanel is–she’s a great girl. She’s smart, she’s funny, hot as hell. But long term, I plan to do things with my life, big things, honor the dimera name. So why in the hell would I want to tie myself to someone whose worldview is a bit more limited?

Ej: Not to play devil’s advocate, but you swore you love chanel and that she loved you.

Johnny: You’ll be happy to hear, I think you were right all along. I think what she loved most about me was my money.

Ej: Hmm. And yet you were fairly outraged when I suggested it.

Johnny: I might have overreacted a little bit, but now I’ve come to realize that you were just looking out for your boy.

Chanel: You tried to warn me about your brother.

Liam: Hey, how’s douglas?

Hope: Oh, he’s fine. He’s reading a story to beth. Liam. I missed it. I’ve been so focused on my father that i didn’t even notice that my mother was struggling.

Liam: No, no. None of this is your fault.

Hope: She was all alone.

Liam: But she’s not anymore, right? I mean, she’s at a meeting with ridge right now, an open meeting. She’s getting all the help she needs. Brooke logan is a fighter. She’ll make it through this just fine.

Facilitator: Were you alone when you drank on new year’s eve?

Brooke: Come on, slug one

back with me, buddy ole pal.

It’s new year’s eve.

Deacon: Alright, alright.

Okay. Alright.

[Brooke sighs]

[Typing]

[Notification rings]

Zende: Paris. Just the person I was looking for.

Paris: Yeah?

Zende: Yeah. I’m working on a new design and I could use your opinion.

Paris: Wow, this is the third time in two days. Maybe I should take up designing.

Zende: Yeah, I’d cosign on that. Listen. I want to tell you that I appreciate you and your honesty. And I have to admit that some of the things that you said on new year’s, they threw me. You know, you wanting to keep things loose and casual between us. I respect you being so straightforward with me.

Paris: Wow, thank you. I’m glad that you feel that way. You’re a really great guy.

Zende: Everything okay?

Paris: Yeah. I’m sorry, I just got a text from my mom.

Zende: Your mom?

Zende: Yeah, I wasn’t expecting it but it made me realize how much I miss her.

Paris: These texts from my mother are so random.

Zende: What do they say?

Paris: They’re just pictures of us together.

Zende: Wait, is that you? What are you wearing?

Paris: When I was little, we used to have these dress up tea parties and I’d throw on one of her dresses that was obviously too big for me and almost all of her jewelry.

Zende: Sounds like a classy affair to me.

Paris: Oh, and this one.

[Sighs] This picture is the last time we were together. She’s just got me thinking, with my dad and zoe gone, it’s hard not having family out here. I just really miss my mom a lot.

Mrs. Buckingham: I miss you, too, paris.

Paris: Mom?

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh, my baby. Oh, it’s so good to see you. Missed you so much.

Paris: I cannot believe you’re here right now.

Mrs. Buckingham: I’m here.

[Laughs]

Hope: I shouldn’t have left her by herself. The holidays can be difficult.

Liam: What are you talking about? We thought ridge would be there.

Hope: Yeah, well then we should have waited. Is it my fault that she fell off the wagon? Have I, by pushing too hard and too much to have my dad be a part of my life, did that cause her to stress?

Liam: Absolutely not, hope. There’s no way that’s what this is–

Hope: Well, then why then? Why did my mom start drinking again?

Brooke: I’m gonna make sure

you come nowhere near

my family, especially

steffy, finn and hayes.

[Brooke sighs]

[Brooke sighs]

Brooke: Yes. Yes. Yes. I was alone when I drank.

Facilitator: Thank you for sharing, brooke.

[Laughter]

Paris: Oh! You knew about this?

Mrs. Buckingham: Well, I wanted to surprise you.

Paris: Wow, so there’s no design that you needed my help with, huh?

Zende: Not at this moment. No.

Mrs. Buckingham: Oh, he is very handsome in person. He’s also very sweet. Thank you, zende, for helping arrange this.

Zende: My pleasure. Anything to make paris happy. Now I’m sure that the two of you have a lot to catch up on, so I’m gonna get out of here.

Paris: Hey. Thank you for this.

Zende: Of course.

Mrs. Buckingham: Wah! My baby.

Carter: Someone’s having a good day. What is going on, why are you all smiles?

Zende: I just pulled off a big surprise.

Carter: Yeah?

Zende: Paris, you should have seen her face. I mean, she had no idea it was coming. When I tell you it was priceless–

Carter: Zende, I have– I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Zende: What? Oh. Yeah, my bad. Duh! I’m still obviously super excited about it.

Carter: I could– I could definitely tell so what happened?

Zende: Paris’s mother is in town.

Liam: Hey, hey. It’s your love for your mom that’s making you blame yourself for her relapse but the truth is there’s nothing you could have done.

Hope: We could have taken ridge’s advice and moved out and alleviated any stress about my dad. And now, on top of everything, taylor is back in town.

Liam: What does taylor have to do with it?

Hope: Listen, I know my mom’s not threatened by her but I’m sure it adds some stress. And then combine that with my dad, maybe it was just too much.

Liam: Okay, but we don’t know that.

Hope: Well, then what is it then? Because I don’t buy that you’re just fine one minute and then pick up a vodka bottle the next. I don’T. I think someone or something pushed her over the edge. Something made her drink again.

Sheila: No one is going to keep me from a life with my son and my grandson. Especially not you, brooke.

Facilitator: What led you to drink again? Are you able to identify the trigger?

Brooke: Honestly, I don’t know. I haven’t had this intense desire to drink for a very long time. I don’t know what triggered it. And before, when I drank, I– that feeling, it didn’t come out of nowhere.

Facilitator: Maybe it didn’T. Maybe the desire’s more subconscious, something that’s been there, building that you just weren’t aware of.

Brooke: Maybe you’re right. But regardless, I am– I’m committed to my sobriety and I couldn’t do it without my husband. Very thankful for his support. And whatever it is that led me to drink, I just can never let that happen again.

Dry eye symptoms

driving you crazy?

Zende: Mrs. Buckingham wouldn’t have been able to get into the building without me. I’m telling you, the look on her face– she was so happy.

Carter: I bet.

Zende: And that’s all I really care about, making paris happy. You want to hear something crazy?

Carter: Sup?

Zende: I asked quinn to make an engagement ring for me. It was beautiful and unique, just like paris. I really love her, carter. I was going to propose to her on new year’S.

Carter: What happened?

Zende: I didn’t go through with it. I mean, I wanted to. I really do love her. But… I’m not sure how paris feels about me now.

Paris: I can’t believe you’re in L.A. One second, I’m texting you and the next you’re here?

Mrs. Buckingham: I’ve been dying to see you. And you are quite the rock star. I mean, I literally saw you singing at dodger stadium.

Paris: Yeah, that was out of this world.

Mrs. Buckingham: L.A. Looks good on you and you’ve accomplished so much in such a short amount of time. Feels like you just graduated from college and now you’re this key player for the forrester foundation.

Paris: Yes. It’s been really amazing.

Mrs. Buckingham: And you’re consulting for hope for the future? Yeah, I’ve been keeping tabs on you. All your hard work and passion to help others has really paid off.

Paris: What can I say? I have an incredible role model.

Mrs. Buckingham: Ah, I’m so proud of you, sweetheart, not just because of your accomplishments but because of the wonderful woman that you have grown into. I am so blessed to have you as my daughter.

Paris: Oh mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: Mm. So good to see you.

Hope: You know, you can say, “I told you so.”

Liam: Okay. A, I would never do that. And b, I honestly don’t think deacon had anything to do with this.

Hope: Well, you know what I think? I think that maybe I was being selfish, trying to insert my dad into everyone’s life and I should have been more sensitive–

Liam: No! Absolutely not. Listen, everything’s gonna be okay. Your mom’s already in a meeting. That’s like, that is a great sign!

Hope: I know. No, I’m– I’m– I’m really happy that she’s being really open about that night and… I’m grateful that she is getting help and that she is not keeping anything from us.

Brooke: Vodka?

[Sighs] What would I do without you?

Ridge: We’re in this together.

Brooke: I’m just scared, ridge. I have no idea what happened that night. I don’t know how I made such a terrible mistake.

[Shallow breathing]

Deacon: Morning sunshine.

Ridge: Hey. Where’d you go?

Brooke: Ah, I was just thinking about that night. I don’t ever want to relapse again.

Ridge: You won’T. I’ll make sure you won’T.

Brooke: Well, thank you. I don’t want to lose you.

Ridge: Lose me? You kidding? Come on.

Brooke: I don’t want to, ridge.

Ridge: For better or for worse, right? As long as we’re honest with each other, we can face anything. Come here. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches

Carter: Listen, man, uh… I have a confession to make. I already knew about the uh, the engagement ring. Quinn told me. She was pretty proud of her work, said it was beautiful.

Zende: It is. I had it all planned. Dinner at paris’ favorite restaurant. I was going to propose to her there. And then I rented out this rooftop downtown with this perfect private view of the fireworks.

Carter: Wow, man.

Zende: We didn’t even make it to dessert before the night was over. She talked about being young and single. I mean, she’s not wrong. We never put a label on what we are but I mean, it felt like it came out of nowhere.

Carter: I’m really sorry, zende.

Zende: Maybe there’s competition. All that talk about not wanting to be tied down and having so much to experience. I mean, you’re friends with her. You talk to her. I kind of feel like there’s someone else. But if it’s not me, then who else could it be?

Paris: So how long are you staying?

Mrs. Buckingham: Wow. Anxious to get rid of your mom already, huh?

Paris: Not even. If I had it my way, you’d stay in L.A. Forever but I know you need to head back soon. What would the hospital do without you?

Mrs. Buckingham: Actually, I handed in my resignation.

Paris: What?

Mrs. Buckingham: I know–

Paris: You loved working there.

Mrs. Buckingham: I did. I do. But it was time for a change.

Paris: So now what?

Mrs. Buckingham: Well, there is another reason for my visit to L.A.

Paris: Oh?

Mrs. Buckingham: I have a few offers. One for the hospital down the street, in fact.

Paris: So you’re looking for work here?

Mrs. Buckingham: I don’t want to cramp your style but I wanted to see how you feel about me moving here.

Paris: That would be awesome!

Mrs. Buckingham: Yeah?

Paris: And if you need a reference, I got your back.

[Laughter]

Mrs. Buckingham: I missed

Paris: I missed you too, mom.

Mrs. Buckingham: So if you’ll have me, I am here to stay.

Paris: Well in case my, “that would be awesome,” wasn’t big enough let me say it again, that was awesome. Be awesome. I’d love for you to stay in L.A. Ah!

Mrs. Buckingham: Ah!

[Paris laughs]

Liam: Listen to me. All your concern is is a testament to what a wonderful, caring, attentive daughter you are. And if there were anything, anything at all to pick up on, you’d have picked up on it.

Hope: I just– I hate that this is even happening. You should have seen her, liam. She was– she was so hard on herself and she was scared. Like, her life was completely out of her control and she had no idea why.

Brooke: I’m gonna do

everything in my power to keep

you away from our family

and ridge will agree with me,

especially steffy,

finn and hayes.

Sheila: Oh, brooke. When are you going to learn to not push me?

[Clinking]

Ridge: Alright. That was the last of it. Bar’s empty. We don’t need temptation in this house.

[Brooke sighs]

Brooke: Thank you.

Ridge: Can I say something? You’re not only the hottest but you’re also the strongest, most courageous woman I’ve ever known.

Brooke: Ridge–

Ridge: Yeah, no it’s true. You could have found a way to hide this from me but you didn’T. You told me because you trust me.

Brooke: Yeah, but how can you trust me? How can you trust me when i don’t even know how i started drinking again?

Ridge: Well, it really doesn’t matter. It was a one time thing. It’s ove–

Brooke: No, that’s all it takes, ridge. It takes one time to relapse. And all of this hard work in recovery just to– just to start it all over again.

Ridge: Okay. It’s a disease. We gotta fight it and we’re all here to help you. We’re all here. I– I wasn’t here because I decided to leave at a– at a time like this. I’m–

Brooke: Don’T. Stop. Don’t blame yourself–

Ridge: No. You needed me here and i wasn’t here so I’m sorry.

Brooke: No, ridge, it wasn’t your fault.

Ridge: Well, you know what? I will never leave you again. What do you say to that?

Brooke: Good.

Ridge: Okay.

Phyllis: Hey, amanda!

Amanda: Hey, you!

Phyllis: How are you?

Amanda: I’m good. I’m good.

Phyllis: Good. [ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Everything is going great. Imani and I — we are rocking our new partnership.

Phyllis: Of course you are. I’ve no doubt.

Amanda: How are you?

Phyllis: I’m alr–

Are you phyllis summers?

Phyllis: Um, yes, I am, in the flesh.

This is for you. You’ve been served.

Phyllis: Wait. What? Uh…

Nate: So, what do you think? The blue rug?

Elena: I actually think the beige rug goes better with the wallpaper.

Nate: I never thought that buying a rug online could be so contentious.

Elena: You never thought about buying a rug period, or else you would have had one by now.

Nate: Well, what can I say? You’ve domesticated me.

[ Laughs ]

Imani: Hello, you two. Long time, no see.

Nate: Hey.

Elena: Has it been? I hadn’t noticed.

Imani: Nate, that shirt is such a great color on you. It makes you look even more handsome.

Nate: Why, thank you. I never had someone pay so much attention to my shirts.

[ Both laugh ]

Elena: Hey, since you have such an eye for color, why don’t you help me resolve this issue? Which rug do you like better?

Imani: Oh, well, they’re both nice. It all depends on the decor of the rest of the room. Where’s this going to go?

Elena: Our bathroom. I moved in with nate.

Nate: Mm.

Lily: Have I told you in the last half-hour how happy I am that you ditched your plan to take down newman media?

Billy: Well, if this is my reward, I will abandon my plans more often.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Okay, 100% honesty?

Billy: Shoot.

Lily: Are you sure that you want to come to work with me at chancellor? ‘Cause I don’t want you to feel like it’s a consolation prize.

Billy: Do you realize how many people would kill to be your coo at chancellor? I mean smart, experienced people.

Lily: [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Maybe not as much sex appeal, but that’s debatable. There is no one that is going to be more devoted to you than I am, no one that’s gonna want to see you succeed more than i do. You’re about to take over the world, and I couldn’t be more proud to be the man to help you do it.

Lily: Even though things didn’t turn out the way you wanted them to?

Billy: Who said they didn’t? I mean, the whole plan was for vindication, right? To get adam to admit that he set me up for a fall in order to take me down and get his hands on chanccomm. Then when victoria figured out that the downward spiral of billy abbott was all a ruse, well, then I became focused on getting my hands on newman media, which was not a good idea, and thank you for helping me see that.

Lily: Yeah. I mean, she was using you.

Billy: Yeah. Well, you know, I lost focus of the big picture. The last thing I want to be is anchored to the soul-sucking anger that fuels adam’s existence.

Lily: Oh, god, I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when you told him the truth.

Billy: Yeah, it felt good to tell him that he wasn’t worth it. He’s taken up far too much valuable real estate in my mind and in my life. And I deserve better, and you deserve a better me.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Well, I could not be prouder or more in love with you than I am right now.

Sally: [ Sighs ] Chelsea. Hello.

Chelsea: Sally. Any reason you are loitering in the hallways?

Sally: I just had a meeting with adam.

Chelsea: Why don’t you go back to the office? I’ll be there in a few minutes. We can go over your recent article pitches.

Sally: Actually, adam is in the middle of something, so maybe you should come back later.

Chelsea: [ Chuckles ] Well, this is personal, about our son.

Sally: All I’m saying is a little later would be better for him.

Chelsea: He’ll make time for me.

Adam: I thought I told you that I was —

Chelsea: It’s me.

Adam: Nobody knocks anymore. Why do I even bother having a door? I should just take it off the hinges and let everybody waltz in and out of here at will.

Chelsea: Well, you’re in a good mood. Something happen?

Adam: It’s nothing.

Chelsea: Save it for someone who doesn’t know you like I do.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Billy came in here, shooting his mouth off like he had just won the lottery or something, when everybody knows that he is a complete and utter failure and he always will be.

Chelsea: I don’t get it. You made all these changes in your life. You’ve got everything going for you. So, why can’t you let this go? Will this battle between you and billy ever end?

Adam: [ Sighs ] -We are here! -For new homeowners,

Additional sponsorship

Imani: Wow. Moving in together is such a big step. I hadn’t realized you two were that serious.

Elena: Uh-huh.

Imani: Well, congratulations.

Nate: Thank you. We’re very happy.

Elena: Well, I know billable hours are important to lawyers, so we wouldn’t want to get in the way of your work.

Imani: [ Chuckles ] Right. And it looks like my takeout is ready, so I will be on my way. That is your color.

[ Chuckles ] Mm.

Nate: Wow. You really brought the claws out.

Elena: I was just reminding her of our relationship status so she can stop flirting with you.

Nate: You were doing a good deed.

Elena: Yes, I was. What can I say? I’m a giver.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] It’s roland.

Elena: Roland from the hospital’s board of directors?

Nate: [ Clears throat ] Hi, roland. What’s going on?

Lily: It’s really amazing how quickly you go from basking in the afterglow to thinking about corporate domination.

Billy: Am I that transparent?

Lily: Oh, yeah. You have your business face on. I like it.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] I’m just thinking that there’s something I need to do before i join you at chancellor.

Lily: What, buy some new ties?

Billy: No, not exactly.

[ Clears throat ] I need to go repair the bridge i burned with my mother. I said some horrible things to her before she left, and I need to make it right.

Lily: What are you gonna do?

Billy: Well, I’m pretty sure she’s in chicago this week, isn’t she?

Lily: Yeah. She’s meeting with the execs about the transition.

Billy: Okay. Well, that’s where I’m headed then because this is more than an e-mail or a video chat. I need to tell her in person that I am sorry for what happened at chanccomm and that I am 100% devoted to you at chancellor.

Lily: Okay. And make sure you let her know that I am behind you 100%. Do you want me to come with you?

Billy: You can’T.

Lily: Yes, I can come with you. I can meet the team out there and, you know, be there for moral support.

Billy: Well, that is very sweet of you, but I think I need to do this on my own. Besides, like I said, you are about to take over the world. You need to stay put, get focused.

Lily: Okay. Well, if you change your mind, let me know. I think people don’t realize how hard it is to say I’m sorry.

Billy: Yeah. Speaking of making amends, there’s someone else that I need to apologize to now that I’ve given up my plan to eviscerate adam.

Adam: There is no battle between me and billy. Not anymore. In his warped way, he called a truce. He concocted some retaliation scheme that fell apart, so that’s why he came here to tell me that. It was yet another of billy’s failures.

Chelsea: Sounds like a good thing. So, why do you look like you’ve lost?

Adam: It’s complicated.

Chelsea: He pushed your buttons in a way only billy can?

Adam: Okay, maybe it’s not that complicated after all.

Chelsea: Well, I have a solution. Forget about billy. You are running newman media. You are at the top of your game. Celebrate that. Forget billy.

Adam: Okay. It’s forgotten. Why don’t you have a seat, tell me what’s going on?

Chelsea: I need your help. It involves connor.

Adam: What’s wrong?

Chelsea: He is upset about the idea of selling the penthouse.

Adam: I thought he was having trouble adjusting to the penthouse because of the memories, just like you were. I thought moving out, it would be good for him starting fresh somewhere else.

Chelsea: That’s how he felt at first, but now that we’ve gone through the nuts and bolts of what it’s gonna be like — you know, packing our stuff up, finding a new place — I think it became real for him. He got really upset, he says this thing is totally unfair, and he ended up in tears.

Adam: Well, that’s weird. He rarely cries anymore.

Chelsea: Well, that’s how badly it’s affecting him.

[ Sighs ] Selling the penthouse is the logical decision. We need to escape those ghosts. But it’s not easy, adam, to just pack up your life, all those memories, and move on, you know?

Adam: Yeah. What do you think we should do?

Chelsea: I need your help making this whole thing okay… for connor.

Adam: Of course. I’ll do whatever I can.

Sally: I have the budget for the video project we have been batting around.

Chloe: Great. Um, that isn’t why I wanted to see you. We need to get our arms around this situation.

Sally: I’m sure adam will okay it.

Chloe: Oh, no, that’s not the situation I was talking about. We need to re-evaluate what’s going on with you and chelsea if this is gonna work.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] I’m not the problem. Chelsea is. She’s threatened by me personally and professionally, and if anyone is going anywhere, it should be her.

Chloe: Do you hear yourself? Your negative attitude is having an impact on the platform i created. It’s messing with my dreams, which makes it my problem. So, you work for me, which makes it an even bigger problem for you. Do we understand each other? Clerk: Hello, how can I?

Connor: What do you guys want to do first? We can go feed the horses, or we can go skating. I’ll bet you can wear an old pair of grandma’S.

Chelsea: Well, that sounds like fun, but —

Adam: That is not why we’re here.

Connor: Did I do something wrong?

Chelsea: No. No, not at all. Why don’t we — why don’t we all sit down?

Adam: Yeah. We just wanted to talk.

Chelsea: About moving out of the penthouse.

Connor: Oh.

Adam: I know that change can be scary. And you have had so many in your life, but you know what? A lot of them turned out to be pretty awesome.

Connor: I had to go to boarding school.

Chelsea: Yeah, but you learned a lot and you made friends you’re gonna have forever.

Connor: We went to minnesota.

Chelsea: Yeah, and you got to spend time with your other grandma, and now you live here with your dad. You get to ride horses, and noah’s teaching you how to play hockey.

Connor: I don’t want things to change anymore. I want mom’s house to stay mom’s house. I like it there.

Adam: What are you talking about? Last time I checked, you wanted to move because of all the memories.

Connor: Yeah, but now there’s some new good ones, like the three of us at christmas. Remember? When we were all together and everybody was happy?

Adam: Yeah, we did have a good time.

Connor: And we can do it again.

Adam: Connor, you know that your mom and I — we’re not together anymore.

Chelsea: And, you know, we can be happy anywhere. So, what do you think is best? Should we move in to a house with a big backyard? You can play with all your friends. I can garden. Or maybe we could move into a building with a game room and a pool. You can swim any time you want.

Adam: Yeah, those sound like pretty doable options. Don’t you think?

Connor: Actually, I know a place that has all of those cool things, plus more.

Chelsea: You do? Where’s that?

Connor: Right here! The ranch is big enough for all of us. You’ll never find a place better than this.

Adam: Sounds like you’ve given this quite a bit of thought.

Amanda: It’s a civil suit accusing you of fraud, false advertising, mental distress, and pain and suffering.

Phyllis: I mean, I’ve been known to cause people mental distress and pain and suffering definitely, but false advertising is ridiculous.

Amanda: Yeah, the claimant is a guest who apparently didn’t get the experience that she wanted at escape club.

Phyllis: Seriously? Can I see that, please? Do you mind? Thank you. A guest who didn’t get the experience that they wanted. Oh. This girl. She was a freak. Oh, I remember this. She wanted us to create some event from her youth.

Amanda: Okay, well, that doesn’t sound too bad, reliving a happy memory.

Phyllis: No, it was about getting dumped.

Amanda: Okay, I take that back. That is really weird.

Phyllis: Yeah, but she wanted to do the dumping this time. And she had this crazy script written out, and she wanted all of us to act it out. And I had to explain, “hey, we’re a hotel. We’re not an acting troupe, you know?”

Amanda: Do you still have the script?

Phyllis: Oh, I do! I just had to save this one. Here. I’ll send it to you.

Amanda: Okay.

[ Tablet pings ]

[ Scoffs ]

[ Chuckles ] Oh, this is good.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. See what I mean?

Amanda: This is really good.

[ Chuckling ] What?

Billy: Thank you for coming by. I appreciate it. Why don’t you, uh, have a seat?

Traci: Well, your text was kind of vague, so I really hope nothing’s wrong.

Lily: No, no, no. Just the opposite.

Billy: I wanted you to come by so I could tell you in person that I abandoned the plan. It’s — it’s over.

Traci: Really? You mean no more pretending you’re drinking, you’re gambling?

Billy: No more. That was all just about me trying to rebuild my reputation, and it was taking me to a place that wasn’t good. And, you know, I appreciate the both of you for showing me the light.

Traci: I am so grateful you listened.

Billy: Well, it took me a while to get over the anger and find some clarity. But, uh, I’m good now, and i want to apologize to you for putting you in a position for having to lie for me, even if it was for a short amount of time.

Traci: No, I’m just so relieved, and I know jack will be, too.

Billy: Good. I went to adam, and I told him that I was conning him and that I am done because he’s not worth it.

Traci: Oh, billy, good for you. I just hope there’s some way for you to hang on to this feeling, for you realize that backing away was the right thing.

Billy: No. I agree. And, yes, it feels good.

Traci: And now I should tell you something. Um, I was so upset by this plan that I went to victoria to talk to her about it. I didn’t hold anything back. I told her exactly how I felt.

Billy: Is that right? And what made you think that i needed you to interfere, traci?

Lily: Well, billy, she meant well.

Billy: That’s fine, but, i mean, you know, you don’t think I can handle anything on my own or what?

Traci: Well, of course I do now, honey. But I’m just so grateful that you reassessed and that you listened to two women in your life who really love you.

Billy: You know, I just wish that you would stop treating me like a wayward child.

New vicks vapostick. Strong soothing vapors…

Sally: Since when does hanging out with someone on new year’s eve mean the end of the world?

Chloe: When the someone is adam.

Sally: It wasn’t a big deal.

Chloe: It’s affecting the way we do our jobs, which makes it an enormous deal. How many times do I have to tell you to stay away from him?

Sally: I didn’t force him to hang out with me. The man doesn’t do anything he doesn’t want to do.

Chloe: That’s not the point.

Sally: Okay, I get it. This is about chelsea. She just can’t seem to move on, even though adam has zero interest in rekindling the past. That is why she thinks I’m a problem. She’s angry. She’s threatened. And she’s being kind of vindictive.

Chloe: She is my best friend. She’s also a spectacular designer and your boss. So you running your mouth about her is probably the dumbest thing that you can do. You are putting me in a really difficult position. Both you and chelsea are incredibly talented, intelligent, ambitious women who have so much to offer. We all want this platform to be a success, and I just want us to all get along and work together as a team. But that won’t be possible if you continue on your current trajectory. So fix it.

Sally: I’m not —

Chloe: It wasn’t a suggestion.

Phyllis: “I know all about you and barbara, the tawdry e-mails, the secret meetings.”

Amanda: “Becky, I can explain –”

Phyllis: “Vince, I will do all the explaining here. You are a lying, cheating dog. It just took a while to hear you barking.”

“But I love you.”

Phyllis: “Oh, no, you love that I pay the rent. You love that I cook and clean. And those days are over. Pack your bags and give me back your key. Maybe, if you’re lucky, barbara will let you crash with her, but I think her husband might have a problem with that.”

Amanda: Ohh, I have to admit, I did not see that plot twist coming.

Phyllis: Yeah, and then it gets worse. Oh, gosh. She loses her mind on her ex, and then he gets hit by a bus.

Amanda: Well, you definitely couldn’t do that, so I guess she didn’t get the closure she wanted.

Phyllis: So that’s what this lawsuit is about — her closure. Right? I mean, I never promised her that we would hit her ex with a bus. I never did that.

Amanda: I mean, people get really vengeful after breakups.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Yeah, they do. It’s not so funny anymore, right? I mean, I have been there, so filled with rage and jealousy to the point where I just have to hit someone with my car.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] You mean you fantasized about it.

Phyllis: Sure.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Phyllis.

Phyllis: Anyway.

[ Both laugh ] I’ve made a lot of mistakes when it comes to men. And apparently I keep on doing it. I guess I stood jack up for christmas eve, and he’s out of town, we’re not talking, and i just feel bad. I feel selfish when it comes to jack. I feel like I rely on him too much.

Amanda: It’s okay to rely on a friend, especially when they rely on you, too.

Phyllis: I know. But I’m selfish. I really am. I feel like I’ve taken more from him than I’ve given.

Amanda: Well, it sounds like you’re trying to be a better friend, and that’s good, as long as you do that and you don’t leave him in a lurch.

Phyllis: Yeah. Hey, let’s not talk about jack anymore. Let’s discuss this lawsuit.

Amanda: Oh, don’t worry about that. I can take care of this.

Phyllis: I don’t want you to take care of it. I want to handle this in a different way.

Elena: So, let me get this straight. The hospital board is upset that you took me as your date to the fundraising banquet?

Nate: As far as I know, it’s just roland who has an issue with it. He said he didn’t think it was appropriate for a department head to be dating a first-year attending physician.

Elena: He did seem a little uptight.

Nate: Still, I can’t believe he had the nerve to call me up to criticize me about my personal life. It almost makes me wonder if being chief of surgery’s worth the hassle.

Traci: Well, of course i realize that you’re an adult, billy. That’s why I hold you accountable for your actions.

Billy: Well, it’s not exactly black and white, is it? I mean, how many times did victor screw over jack? How many times did jack feel like he had to stand up for himself? Did you ever go to victor and tell him to back down, traci?

Traci: No, but I called jack out on his behavior countless times. That ridiculous feud did devastating things to our family. And for you to hold that up as some excuse for your behavior, it makes me really sad and really angry.

Lily: Okay, look, at the end of the day, you have someone who cares about you, alright? And it’s better to have someone who cares too much than too little. So, you’ve made a huge decision. You’re in a great place emotionally. Let’s not do anything to mess this up.

Billy: I’m sorry.

Traci: Well, old patterns are difficult to break for all of us.

Billy: That is for sure.

Traci: [ Voice breaking ] I hope — I hope you will call jack with all this good news.

Billy: I will. I’ll call him later.

Traci: Okay. And I hope that you won’t think I’m your meddling sister if i ask what you plan to do now.

Billy: No. Please.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Okay.

[ Sniffles ] Well, I know that jack has offered you a position at jabot, and we all know that daddy would just have been so happy if you were back there.

Billy: Yeah, he did, and i appreciate the offer and I like the idea of that, but, uh, I’m gonna go work for lily over at chancellor as her coo.

Traci: Well, that is fantastic! I’m just so happy for both of you!

Billy: Yeah. It’s gonna be good. Of course, first things first. I have to go find jill and make things right with her.

Traci: Make amends. I’m just so proud of you, billy.

Billy: Thank you.

Traci: I know everything is gonna go just great.

Billy: I believe so, too. I appreciate that.

Lily: Well, it’s getting late. You should probably go pack.

Billy: Yeah.

Traci: Sorry.

[ Laughs ]

Billy: I love you. Thank you again. I appreciate it. I’ll see you soon, okay?

Traci: Okay.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Traci: [ Laughs ] Alright, tell me the truth. Is billy as alright as he says he is?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Adam: Connor, you are smart enough to know that your mom — she can’t move to the ranch.

Connor: I just want us to be a family again.

Adam: Your mom and I — we love you very much.

Connor: Then we should try living together again, all of us.

Adam: Look, your mom works with me, and we’re good friends, but we’ve agreed that we’re not gonna be living together.

Connor: But nobody asked me what I wanted. And you were apart for a long time before, then got back together. You haven’t even tried this time.

Adam: That’s because, connor, these — these are grown-up decisions.

Connor: We should try living together again, see if you guys change your mind. You’d at least try if you really want me to be happy.

Adam: Connor, of course we want you to be happy. But sometimes in life things happen that we don’t like, and we have to try to accept them.

Connor: But you promised. You said we were going to be a real family again, that you’d try and work things out.

Adam: I know, and that was a long time ago. And a lot has changed since then.

Connor: I don’t want things to change anymore. I want to be a family!

Chelsea: Connor — connor, I told you. We will always be a family. We are always gonna love each other and want what’s best for each other and — and share the same jokes, share the same memories. You don’t have to live under the same roof to be a family, okay? You could be on the other side of the world. You could be — you could be on the moon, and we would still be a family.

Connor: I just want us to spend time together.

Chelsea: We will still have days like christmas. I promise, okay? And your dad and I — we’re gonna go to every game and every performance at school. We’re gonna spend so much time together — so much! But I do need to find a new place to live. It’s a big job. I could use your help. Are you up for it?

Connor: Yeah.

Chelsea: Okay. Come here.

[ Sighs ]

Amanda: I hope you don’t want to countersue because that is rarely worth it.

Phyllis: I’m going to handle this outside of the legal system.

Amanda: I strongly advise against that, but if you do, I do not need to hear —

Phyllis: I am going to offer becky a year membership for free in the escape club.

Amanda: As a strategy of de-escalation. I approve.

Phyllis: I’m gonna call becky now.

Lily: Honestly, billy is fine. He really is. He really turned a corner today. And he was doing great until victor and adam tried to cut him off at the knees, you know, which is why even though i thought his plan was outrageous, I…understood it.

Traci: You wanted to support him?

Lily: Yeah. Yeah. You know, I — I knew that he needed to regain what he lost. But I think I was able to be there for him because I love him, you know, and I knew that he needed someone to believe in him. And everything was going great until, of course, victoria had to insert herself, and then everything went awry. And I was really worried at first that he was gonna fall back into his old self-destructive behavior. But he didn’T. So, I know that, you know, you haven’t trusted his choices in the past, obviously, but I think now you can trust him a bit and let go.

Traci: Oh, I do trust him. It’s just that he takes so long to work everything out.

Lily: Yeah, I know.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Oh, lily, I’m so grateful that you’re in his life, that you love him and understand him, and that you can protect him in a way that he doesn’t resent.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, I think we just get each other, maybe ’cause we were friends for so long before we got together.

Traci: Yeah, you two do go back a long time.

Lily: [ Laughs ]

Traci: You know, I look at you and sometimes I think about what colleen might be like at your age, with all of this life experience behind you and all of these adventures left ahead.

Lily: I know. I’ve been thinking about her a lot, too, lately. Just thinking back to when we were teenagers and we got tattoos and nose piercings. Remember?

Traci: Yes, I do.

Lily: And I’m like, “my gosh, neither one of us would have never know that I would become ceo of chancellor.

Traci: But she would be as proud of you as I am. Honey, ever since you were a little girl, I have always known that you have it in you to do great things. And billy is so fortunate to have you in his life.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Coughing and sneezing ]

Billy: I think that’s it.

Lily: Are you sure you don’t want me to come with you to chicago?

Billy: I mean, look, I would love for you to come to chicago with me, not only to be a buffer between and my mother, but also so I could wine and dine you and show you just how grateful I am for all the support you’ve given me lately. But most importantly, you are stepping into the new role as ceo of chancellor, and you need to be here.

Lily: Fine. When will you be back?

Billy: Before your first day. And I’ll be prepared to do whatever you ask me to do, not that you’re gonna need any help because you’re gonna be amazing. You be you, just on a grander scale, for a much bigger audience.

Lily: [ Laughs ] Have I told you that I love you?

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: Yeah?

Elena: Are you saying you want to quit your job as chief of surgery?

Nate: No. It’s just, I understood taking a more administrative role would be an adjustment. I just didn’t realize how much of the job had to do with office politics and bureaucracy.

Elena: Yeah, but you’re doing such good work. You’re setting policy to improve patient outcomes, and those fundraising dinners are raising so much money for cutting-edge research.

Nate: I know. That’s why I’m determined to make it work. Well, that and the fact that I like working with you. Even though it makes some peons uncomfortable.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Amanda: So…

Phyllis: So…

Amanda: …How’d it go?

Phyllis: Okay, my friend becky has gone from disgruntled to the point of suing to vip member of the escape club.

Amanda: That’s terrific.

Phyllis: Yep. She apologized profusely. She even cried a little.

Amanda: What? Phyllis, I am so proud of you. Good job.

Phyllis: Thanks.

Amanda: I guess you don’t need me.

Imani: Amanda, why didn’t you tell me elena moved in with nate?

Amanda: Because I didn’t think it was something that you needed to know.

Imani: Ugh, it would have spared me an awkward and disappointing conversation.

Phyllis: Hey. Is this imani?

Amanda: Phyllis summers, meet my sister, imani benedict, who has been nakedly thirsting after nate hastings for a while.

Imani: Hey, I resent that characterization.

Amanda: Oh?

Phyllis: Um, well, nice to meet you. Amanda has told me a lot about you, omitting the thirsting for nate. Um, but you have good taste, you know?

Imani: Thank you for the validation, phyllis. Amanda’s told me a lot about you, too.

Phyllis: Oh. What’d she say?

Imani: That you’re a great friend and a little bit of a hell-raiser.

[ Chuckles ] But that means we’ll get along great.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, we just might.

Sally: Hi. I didn’t realize you left.

Adam: Sally. What do you need?

Sally: I was hoping that you could take a look at a budget I’ve been working on for some upcoming projects.

Adam: Um, now is not a good time.

Chelsea: Try not to take it personally. Adam’s main priority will always be his family. I’m sure you understand.

Sally: Of course I do. I should get back to work. Actually [Sighs]… I spoke with chloe, and there is something that I need to get off my chest.

Meet ron.

Phyllis: Hey, jack. It’s phyllis. Um, I — I hope I’m getting your voicemail because you’re in an important meeting and not because you pressed “decline” when you saw my name pop up. Mnh. That’s a joke. Just — anyway, um, I’m just checking in, saying hi. Bye.

Chelsea: Okay. Tell me what’s on your mind. Really. I’m interested.

Sally: [ Sighs ] I just want to apologize for any and all misunderstandings. I hope I have not given you the wrong impression.

Chelsea: And what would that be?

Sally: That I am after adam. Because I’m not.

Chelsea: Really?

Sally: I respect him as my boss, and I am very grateful for his professional support, but that’s it. All I want it to work with you.

Chelsea: For me.

Sally: And to learn from you.

Chelsea: Well, I’m really happy to hear that ’cause at the end of the day, we have the same goal — for the fashion platform to be an unqualified success.

Billy: You’re not worth my time. You’re not worth the space in my head. You’re — you’re really not worth anything to anyone. You will always be the runner-up newman, the epic failure, two steps behind all the time.

Lily: Why are you in such a rush to leave?

Billy: Because the sooner i get out of here, the sooner i can get back into your lovin’ arms.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] Are we gonna pick up where we left off?

Billy: Oh, no, no, no. Brand-new start.

Lily: So, how billy and lily conquer the world.

Billy: Oh, wow.

Lily: Step one — I am going to prepare an agenda for my first day at chancellor.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: And step two — I will craft a press release announcing you as my new coo.

Billy: Skip step two. Focus on step one. And don’t worry, okay? Don’t work so hard. You got this.

Lily: Okay. Well, good luck in chicago.

Billy: Thank you. I’m gonna need it.

Lily: And, listen, jill understands what you were up against with adam and victor, so I’m sure she’ll forgive a few harsh words, okay? And then you’ll come back to me.

Billy: That’s the plan. That is the plan. Okay. Come here.Billy: One more for the road. Mm-mmm! Alright.

Lily: Okay. Call me when you land.

Billy: I will. I love you.

Lily: I love you, too. Bye.

Billy: Bye.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ] Working late? Hey. You didn’t have to come yourself. I could’ve called the baby nurse to pick up bailey. Well, now that peter’s awake, I don’t want to take any chances. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t take my eyes off this little angel. I appreciate that. Unfortunately, peter is not our only problem now that my grandmother’s back in town. Your grandmother tracy? Yes. So, if you see her in the house or anywhere, really, steer clear. You don’t want to have anything to do with her. So you don’t want me to take bailey back to the house? Not till like the last possible moment? Well, then… looks like it’s just you and me, kid. Ava: Thank you so much. And can we have another setting, please? Are we expecting someone else? Yes, trina. This is a — thank you. It’s a working dinner with our new employee. And he’s right on time. There is a lull right now, so if you want to vent about the situation with your mom and sonny, now would be the time. I’m so pissed at sonny. Keep going. He totally protected nina in court. She’ll never have to pay for what she did. He doesn’t even view it as a crime. He’s completely betrayed his family, especially my mom. Well, has your mom said anything? Not directly. You should’ve seen her on new year’S. I mean, she’s hurting so bad. I’m sorry that your family has to go through this, but I think that everything will be okay. I mean, how many times have your mom and sonny been married? One more time than they’ve been divorced? Exactly. I think they’ll get through this.

[ Sighs ] This time I’m not so sure. I really think that my mom and sonny may have broken up for real. Oh, my god. That’s terrible. Yeah, it is. Thank you. So, does that mean we can’t use the cabin?

[ Knock on door ] Am I interrupting? Are you kidding? Of course not. You are exactly the person that I needed to see. Hello! In fact, I was gonna drop by charlie’s when I got done with work. Well, I’m glad I saved you a trip. I bet you can guess what I needed to talk to you about. The hearing? Oh, my god, phyllis. It was crazy. You — you won’t believe what happened. I know exactly what happened. It finally came out that you and sonny fell in love. Yeah. It was a disaster. You’re right. It is. So what are you gonna do about it? Everything we talked about — sonny told you how he felt about nina and you were honest with him about how you felt about jason on your wedding day. But have you been honest with him about how you feel about him still?

[ Footsteps approach ] Hey. What are you doing here? I live here. I… I don’t want to leave until we settle things.

Olivia, can I have some time with my wife? Of course. I was just on my way out. I’m rooting for you. Don’t let me down.

[ Door opens, closes ] How’s donna and avery? They miss you. I told them you were away on business. I don’t want them to think that I’m gone. Unlike nina, I have no desire to keep you away from your family. Good, ’cause I want to come home. I — we’ve been apart too long. Sonny, look — no. I know I made a mistake, and I should’ve told you from the beginning, despite my reasons. What reasons, sonny? I told you — jason died. Right, and sasha and brando lost their baby and you didn’t want to cause any more pain. Is that right? Sasha and — and… brando went through a — a terrible tragedy and it broke my heart. And then we lost jason, and you were able to express your hurt, your grief. I lost my best friend, my brother, and I had to stuff all that inside. I thought that I had to be tough for — for you. And I was afraid of losing you and I didn’t want this thing between nina to come between us, so I didn’T… I didn’t say anything, and I should have, and it made it worse. But now I’ve been apart from you for nine months and one night. One more minute without you. Hi. Hi!

[ Chuckles ] Hi. Hi. Are we — are we… are we still on for tonight? Why wouldn’t we be? I don’t know. Maybe an emergency — family, friends, the — the weather?

[ Laughs ] Maybe you’re having second thoughts? No, never. There’s no way I’m missing our first official date. I even brought a dress for the occasion.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Water running in distance ] Hold on. Don’t tell me you’ve changed your mind. Me? Yeah. No. No. Never. I’m just, uh… I’m just really happy you’ve, um… …you feel like you can move on with me. I think… franco would want me to be happy. And i am happy. With you.

[ Both chuckle ] Josslyn: That’s nice. My mother’s marriage is falling apart and you’re worried about a weekend getaway. You’re right, josslyn. It was insensitive of me, and I am truly, truly sorry. Apology accepted. It’s just — we don’t have to keep talking about this. All I can think about is spence. You know, he’s with ava right now to discuss restitution. He must be hating life right now. I mean, it’s torture. Not only this business with ava, but the whole going-to-prison thing. I mean… literally, the only thing he was looking forward to was our trip to the cabin. Look, I’m really sorry, but the last thing I want is to ask sonny for anything. I understand. I just don’t know how I’ll tell spence this, that the weekend is off. I mean, on top of everything else, how can I take this from him, too? Trina. I didn’t know you were gonna be here. Same here. You know what? I’ll leave you two to discuss one-on-one. No, please don’t leave on my account. I never mind seeing you. You, on the other hand… there’s no need to flatter trina. You already have the job. My job is usually paid. This feels more like indentured servitude. Court-mandated indentured servitude. You owe me, spencer, for the damage your little fake-blood stunt did to my gallery, not to mention the art itself. Now, before we talk business, why don’t we have a little something to eat, huh? What should we have — surf, turf, both? I can’t afford to eat anything here. You have a stranglehold on my trust fund. Well, who do you think is paying for this meal? Order whatever you like, trina. It’s on spencer. So, have you heard anything about your suspension? Not a peep, which is fine. Really? Yeah. Not having to work means I have more time to look after this little troublemaker. And when I’m not watching her, I fill my time with working out and looking up random facts. Did you know the severed head of a sea slug can grow its whole body back? Leo would find that fascinating. I just — I find that repulsive.

[ Clears throat ] Why can’t it be both? Why not? Chase, are you okay, really? I was just so eager to get out of the wheelchair and — and now that I’m — I’m able-bodied, I-I’m still kept from doing what I love. I mean, brook lynn, it is beyond frustrating. I’m so sorry. I told you, it’s — it’s not your fault. Yeah, but I can’t help but feel responsible. You were suspended for punching valentin, defending my honor. And I would do it all over again. Oh! Thank god you’re here. What’s wrong? Is someone hurt? Not yet, but if you don’t talk me down, I’m going to crimson and rearrange nina’s lying face. You knew about what happened at the hearing? See, you were under the weather. I just assumed that you were out of the loop. One thing I’ll never take for granted again about life in nixon falls — whenever lenny and I had problems with our marriage, they never ended up on the news. What? You found out about this on the news? Yes, and kristina also filled me in on what happened at the hearing. Yeah, I’m sure she had a mouthful to say about me. She did, but she’s hurt and confused, like I imagine you are. Phyllis, listen, you have to believe me. I didn’t want anyone to know about me and sonny. No one! Especially not like this! I know. And now sonny and carly’s marriage, it’s in trouble and he was a wreck on new year’s eve. You saw sonny on new year’s eve, alone? Nina, honey, you’re asking for trouble.

So, then willow testified that she had overheard sonny and nina talking about falling in love in nixon falls, which then sonny confirmed, also on the stand. Poor willow. Poor willow? How did carly react? You know what? I, uh — I have to meet my brother at G.H., So I’m gonna take bailey and I will leave you two to talk. You’re — you’re introducing the baby to your brother? Yeah. It’s gonna be fine. Oh, and I almost forgot. Um, figured you might be working late, so turkey on rye — your favorite. I added a banana because you always seem to steal mine. Thanks. Uh, and don’t you think for a second that my banana-stealing days are over. Wouldn’t have it any other way. See ya. Bye. Bye. Bye, sweetie. Bailey, can you say bye? “Bye.” Bye, cookie. Bye, beauty. We’re gonna work on that, okay? Okay.

[ Chuckles ] Ah! So… enough about my news. You tell me — what’s going on? Tell me every little detail. What?

[ Laughing ] About you and chase, obviously. Trina and I came up with a list of projects you can tackle at the gallery after you serve your sentence. If I had known that this plea deal meant working for you, I would’ve fought for more prison time. Well, that’s gratitude for you. Luckily, I have good news. Great. Can’t wait to hear it. You won’t be working for me. You’ll be working for trina. Don’t worry, I will break the news to spence, once he finds out what’s been going on with sonny. No, you know what? It’s okay. She’s right. We promised spencer a fun time at the cabin and considering it’s the last bit of fun he’ll have for a long time — josslyn, do you mean it? Well, I said it, so… that’s so decent of you, and I know it will mean the world to spence. Yeah, well, the way I see it, after what he did to my mom, sonny owes me and I could use some time away.

[ Chuckles ] I know that feeling. I mean, before they died, my parents were in the process of splitting up. It was brutal. It’s never easy. I’m sorry. What, um — what happened? What didn’t? I mean, you both know the drill, right? He betrayed her, she betrayed him, and they blamed each other. I was devastated. I’m so sorry. Thanks, joss. But I’m not. I may have been just a kid, but it taught me a valuable lesson. There’s a circle of hell reserved for people who tear families apart. No, no, no, no. Nothing happened with sonny. Trust me, whenever the two of you are together, something happens. You have unresolved feelings for each other. Whether you act on those feelings or not is beside the point. Right now, being together — even casually — is inappropriate. I know. You’re probably right.

[ Sighs ] But? But you said so yourself — sonny has unresolved feelings for me. What point are you making? Well, I was chatting with my friend ava and she got me thinking. We all deserve happiness in life, right? And I know this sounds crazy, and, right or wrong — and not now, not now — but what if sonny’s happiness lies with me? See, that’s the man I married. Because that’s who I am, carly. When you said you had reasons for keeping the truth about you and nina from me… …what reasons? What other reasons? The other reasons were that — that what happened with nina doesn’t — doesn’t matter, doesn’t exist, or whatever. That’s not the truth! That’s not the truth! What do you — what do you mean, that’s not the truth? The reason you didn’t tell me is because you knew I would ask the inevitable question. Do we have to do this? Yes, we do! I asked you last night, and I’m gonna ask you again, and if you can’t answer me, you’re gonna have to turn around and leave. Do you have feelings for nina? Do you have feelings for nina?!

Spencer’s working for me? But it’s your gallery. Yes, but I-I won’t be there very much in the coming months. Nikolas and I are planning to renew our vows. You know, our first wedding was so last-minute and we want to plan something very elegant. And in my absence, you will supervise spencer. That’s no better. No offense, trina. You think I want this? Excuse me. Trina, trina, wait. Oh, sit down, spencer. We’re not finished here yet. Cameron: I know how you feel. My family was torn apart last year when franco was killed. I…almost let my anger get the best of me. Sometimes, uh, anger can be fuel.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh, excuse me. Um… hi. Hold on. Just give me one second. Hey, what’s up? I’m at the metro court with ava and spencer and things just went totally sideways. Sorry. I, um, got a little intense there. No, no, it’s fine. You’re — you’re entitled. Thanks. It’s just that, um, I didn’t grow up with my biological family, and the family that chose me imploded. That’s probably why I’m so devoted to spence. I mean, he’s my family now. Makes sense. But as far as anger… you don’t agree? Look, I’m sure you’re right. Anger can be fuel. But we can’t let it overrun us. Isn’t it anger that drove you and spencer to stalk ava? It’s complicated, carly. I have feelings for nina, but I’m — I’m getting over it. You just don’t get over that.

[ Scoffs ] You speaking from experience? Oh. Don’t do that. Wh– don’t — don’t even do that. When you asked me about jason, I was honest. Yeah, but you didn’t tell me right away. I told you within days. Did I not answer every question you asked? Yeah. And I’ve been asking you for months to tell me what happened in nixon falls and you consciously kept it from me! But that wasn’t me. But when you were with jason, that was you. I don’t blame you for how you felt as mike, but you owed me the truth. You owe me the truth! Carly, we’re not gonna be able to get through this if we’re not under the same roof. You said you weren’t nina’s victim. And now I realize how true that was. You were her accomplice. How many times have you told me that sonny and i shouldn’t ignore our feelings for each other? I advised you to come to terms with your feelings. That’s very different. Well, if sonny and carly separate — if — then… do you think it’s possible that sonny and i could be together? First, I’ll answer the question you asked. Yes, it’s possible. Now I’ll answer the question you didn’t ask. If it’s possible, do I think you should act on your feelings? Hell no.

So, basically, spencer would be working as a handyman? Has he ever even held a hammer? I don’t think it’s just about the work. Ava is not making this easy on him. He and esme stalked ava for months. They made implied threats to avery, and, oh, yeah, they set ava’s car on fire. Look, I know that spencer’s our friend, but after what he’s done, he’s getting off easy. I admit, I had a little fun at your expense. You mean kicked me while I’m down? That’s low, ava, even for you. Mm. Still, not quite as low as leaving a teddy bear with a murderer’s voice for my child to find. But why involve trina? Because, aside from paying for what you did to me, your true task is to make restitution to trina. Do you think that I need the money that you doing odd jobs at the gallery will save me? Restitution isn’t only about money, spencer. It’s about righting wrongs… repairing what’s been broken, restoring what’s been stolen. I never took anything from trina. Can you honestly say that you didn’t hurt trina? One of my greatest regrets is how I treated trina. I should’ve been honest. I should’ve told her that i already had a girlfriend. And I shouldn’t have asked her to cover for me when she didn’t realize that I was actually going after you, so… but I just don’t think that I’m gonna be able to make that up to her. You can try. You know, framing a few pictures at the gallery with trina, that’s — that’s not gonna fix the trust that you’ve broken. But trying to make her job easier, that — that could go a long way. I think they calmed down a bit. They were pretty intense for a while.

Thanks for listening. Anytime. You know I always got your back. You’re right. About the anger thing and about what spence and I did to ava. Guess I’m still a work in progress. We all are. Trust me, I am not judging. If you knew what anger drove me to do when franco was killed… do tell. All I’ll say is that I was impulsive and I was reckless and I am just very grateful that I had people around me who were patient and forgiving. Angry cameron sounds, um, quite intriguing. And you’ll never meet him. Not if I can help it. That was trina. Sounds like spencer’s super unhappy with whatever ava cooked up for his restitution. Trina’s there? Uh… spence didn’t mention that, uh, she would be at the meeting. Maybe he didn’t know. Well, even if she is, what’s the big deal? We’re all friends here, right? Well, hello, sweetheart. It’s so nice to see you. Are you all snuggly and comfortable with your daddy?

[ Chuckles ] It’s about time I got to meet my niece. She’s beautiful. Oh, that’s all her mother. Yeah, definitely. I think you had something to do with it.No. Well, I should get back to work before epiphany notices. Congratulations. And I will see you later. I’ll see you later. Well, I-I can’t believe my little brother’s a father. Well, bailey’s not the only good news in the family. Hmm? Am I imagining things, or do you and elizabeth seem… closer? I-I-I think maybe elizabeth and i have decided to see… where this can go. Well, what finally changed? She did, mostly. I mean, she’d been through a lot since, uh… well, I just think she thought maybe that she’s ready now. Well, it’s been a tough year for both of you. I’m glad you can look forward to the future together. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. And what about you? What does your future hold? Me and chase, we’re — we’re friends. There’s nothing going on with us. Come on, now. I saw the energy between you two, and don’t argue with me on this. I have a nose for these things. Okay, this isn’t the reason why you came here. No. So, how is carly taking the news about sonny? That’s why I am so steamed. I — carly is so angry at sonny right now — and rightfully so. Of course. But — but she’s also torn because she desperately wants to forgive sonny, but this was just a really — a massive betrayal to get past, so… well, if you can forgive my dad…

[ Sighs ] Yes. Your father and i have forgiven each other for many things. Then carly can forgive uncle sonny, can’t she? I’m sorry if that was blunt. No, it’s okay. I just don’t want you to get so worked up when you’re recovering. Some of the responsibility for this situation lies with me. No, phyllis, no. What did you do? If I had been completely honest with you after sonny regained his memory, you might not still be fantasizing about a future with him. Well, as lenny would say, “it’s never too late for settin’ straight.” So, nina, are you ready to get real? Nina’s accomplice? You’re her protector. You told me to lay off her. I didn’t want a war. Well, look where that got us. You promised me that nina would stay away from our family, but that didn’t stop the two of you from reminiscing at the hospital chapel together. I mean, are you kidding me? Are you gonna stand in my way now? Are you, sonny? Are you gonna ask me not to go after nina, after she fired the first shot at the hearing? Are you? I don’t know what that’s gonna accomplish. Just forget about nina. “Forget about nina.” Like you have? Alright, so… you don’t want to trust me. You don’t — you don’t want to forgive me. Am I wasting my time? Are you saying that there’s no hope for our marriage?

You know, fatherhood has been great so far, but without my job, I’m — I kind of feel useless, like I don’t have a purpose, and I get the feeling that I’m starting to bug brook lynn. First things first, alright? Being a dad — greatest job there is. And there’s nothing useless about spending time with your little girl. That being said, I understand that your suspension has made you feel restless. That’s not gonna last forever. Here’s hoping. As for brook lynn? I thought you two were, um…good friends. Well, usually, we are. Hmm. But lately, our — our vibe has been off. I mean, hanging out with brook lynn, it’s — it’s effortless. But lately, it’s just been awkward, like… I’m not sure what’s come between us.

[ Laughs ] You’re wearing her, bro. Coparenting bailey with brook lynn has brought a new dynamic into your friendship and there is bound to be some bumps in the road as you try to figure things out. Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Yeah. Everything else is gonna fall into place. How can you be so sure? Comes with frequently being right.

[ Chuckles ] Just think about everything you overcame this past year, and you’re still standing, literally. Thanks to you. And your own resilience. You know, I — I know I’ll never have your optimism, but I hope to be able to learn to embrace life the way you do. Hi. It looks like you already have. Where are you going? I’m trying to find our waitress. I can’t stand to be here one more second.

[ Clears throat ] So I’m gonna get my dinner to go. After all, I did pay for it. Ava ambushed both of us. I didn’t know she was gonna have me supervise you. I’ll decline. No, don’T. I’m — I am grateful for the opportunity to work for you. If you’ll have me. Why not? Good help is hard to find. Thanks, cam. What do I owe you? On the house. You’re a lifesaver. And, joss, um… I hope your mom and stepdad can weather this storm, and if they can’t, doesn’t mean you can’t emerge strong anyway. Thank you. I’ll see you both soon. Thanks again for the caffeine and for the cabin. I know what it’s costing you. Am I crazy, or did that almost seem sincere? You’ve always — always — been real with me. That’s why I value our friendship so much. And I hope we continue to be friends after I say this. Okay, give it to me. Sonny may not see himself as a victim, but what you did to him — pretending not to know who he really was, keeping him from his family, including the grandson you both shared, allowing him to fall in love with you — that was a violation, and the only way for you to make this right is to leave sonny alone. What if sonny doesn’t want to be left alone? Let carly and sonny figure this out. Whatever the next step is, it’s not yours to take. If there’s any chance for us, you need to be honest with me. I already admitted that I — that I have feelings for nina. It’s confusing. It’s compli– I don’t want to have these feelings, carly. That’s as honest as I can be. You said you didn’t have sex. Did you kiss her? Did you touch her? It doesn’t matter. It matters to me. Why do you want to hurt yourself like — you’re already hurt. I can’t forgive you if I don’t know what I’m forgiving, right? But you think this is gonna help, but it’s not gonna help. It can’t be worse than what I’m imagining in my head, sonny! Tell me!

[ Sighs ] To move forward, you have to forget. For me to move forward, I have to know every last detail. That was mike. I’m sonny. Your daughter wanted you to have that cookie.

[ Door opens, closes ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lani: Oh, my god. That feels so good.

Eli: You put in a lot of miles today.

Lani: I have chased down a lot of perps, but this was ridiculous. I think I ran down every alley in salem.

Eli: Well, detective price, tonight you are gonna stay off of these feet.

Lani: Only if t twins don’t wake up.

Eli: What? Am I not capable of getting them back to sleep?

Lani: Of course you are, but we take turns.

Eli: Not tonight. Not tonight, my love.

[Knocking on door] Whoever that is, I’m gonna tell them it’s a bad time.

Lani: Yeah.

Eli: Yeah.

Paulina: I hope this isn’t a bad time.

[Dissonant note]

Anna: Oh, look, tony, how wonderful! They’re throwing a party to welcome us home from europe.

Tony: Oh, it’s not meant for us, darling. It says “congratulations.”

Anna: Oh. Well, maybe they wanna congratulate us on how well we did flying commercial. Can you believe how loud that woman across the aisle from us was?

Tony: And yet you were remarkably restrained.

Anna: Really? You think so?

Tony: I meant after you fell asleep. Ej.

Ej: Welcome back, you two.

Anna: Oh, we are so glad to be back. Especially if we get invited to this party.

Ej: Actually, it’s a wedding reception for my son and his wife.

Tony: Johnny got married?

Ej: Mm.

Tony: Oh. Who’s the lucky girl?

Ej: She’s a gold-digger, actually. And I predict my son is going to have to pay a small fortune to get rid of this one.

Chanel: G, you were right about italian sheets. They are the bomb.

[Dramatic music]

[Line rings]

Allie: What’s up, dupree?

Chanel: Hey, horton. I’m calling because my mom is throwing johnny and me a wedding reception here at the mansion. And I was hoping that you and tripp could come.

Allie: Yeah, of course. When is it?

Chanel: In a couple of hours.

Allie: Talk about short notice.

Chanel: Sorry. I meant to call you earlier, but johnny’s been distracting me.

Johnny: You ready for another round?

Marlena: John, I appreciate your caring, but you don’t have to keep on calling me. No, no, I’m fine, I’m fine. You go ahead and enjoy your poker game with abe and roman. I’m just gonna finish my tea and–and just relax. Yeah. I love you, too. Okay, bye-bye.

[Knocking on door]

Susan: Out, demon! Be gone from dr. Marlena evans once and for all.

[Light piano music]

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Paulina: Okay if I come in?

Lani: Actually, um, eli and i were just settling down for a quiet evening, so.

Paulina: Well, I hate to disturb you, but I just wanted to come by in person to tell you that I’m throwing a wedding reception for your sister. Tonight.

Lani: Tonight?

Paulina: Mm-hmm. Well, just family. And I want–wanted to tell you in person ’cause it would mean the world to chanel if you could attend. It would mean the world to me, too.

Lani: Thank you for including us. But since I’ve been back at work I only get a few hours a day with the twins, so.

Paulina: Well, you–you know, you wouldn’t be gone that long. You come by, just raise a glass. You’ll be back with those little angels before you know it.

Lani: Sorry, paulina, but it’s a no.

Eli: Paulina, we–we appreciate the invite, but lani’s had a tough day, so we’re gonna sit this one out.

Paulina: Oh. Oh. Oh. Yeah, well, okay. So, well, let’s just get the family together soon for a celebratory dinner.

Eli: Yeah, sounds great. Hey, please, give chanel– give chanel our love.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. Yeah. I will. And you two, you– you have a nice evening.

Eli: You too.

Lani: “Sounds great”?

Eli: Just trying to be nice.

Lani: I get that, eli, but you can’t say things like that to her. You have to remember with her it’s always the same thing. You give her an inch, she takes a mile.

Paulina: [Sobbing quietly]

Anna: Come on, ej, this is happy news. You need to stop being so cynical.

Tony: I’m gonna agree with anna. ‘Cause regardless of how you must feel about this young woman, johnny must love her and you’ll only alienate him further if you do not support this union. So why don’t you just put on a happy face and give these kids your blessing?

Ej: Even if I think it’s a match made in hell?

Chanel: Horton, I gotta go. Why are you looking at me like that?

Johnny: ‘Cause you’re the sexiest woman alive. Let’s make love again.

Chanel: You’re joking, right?

Johnny: Not at all. I feel like I could go forever.

Chanel: That’s great. But just this morning you were completely wiped out. And now it’s like– it’s like you’re unstoppable.

[Tense music]

[Eerie chuckling] Johnny? You suddenly seem so far away. Is everything okay?

Johnny: Uh, yeah. Yeah, it’s fine. I just– I was trying to figure out how I went from being so out of it this morning to feeling like I can take on the world. Must be because I’m crazy in love with my wife.

Chanel: Well, I’m crazy in love with you, too.

Johnny: Yeah?

Chanel: Mm-hmm. And pretty soon a whole bunch of people will be here to celebrate our love, so we need to get ready.

Johnny: Okay. But before we do.

Tripp: So the party’s tonight, huh?

Allie: Yep. Totally last minute. But chanel really wants both of us there.

Tripp: Sounds really fun, but I am on call tonight.

Allie: Can anyone cover for you?

Tripp: Maybe if I was still in med school. But now that I’m officially a doctor, if they need me–

Allie: You have to show up. I get it.

Tripp: But of course I’ll still go to the party, okay? Just know there’s a chance I might have to get called back to the hospital.

Allie: Okay. Well, maybe we’ll get lucky. I really, really want you there with me.

Tripp: For moral support because you’re still on the fence about this marriage? Or to celebrate because you’re really okay with it now?

Allie: I am really okay with it now. I just feel bad about the way I reacted when I first heard.

Tripp: Johnny and chanel accepted your apology.

Allie: I mean they claimed to. But tripp, I said some really hurtful things. I mean, I told my best friend that it was just a matter of time before my brother broke her heart.

Tripp: Hey. You were caught off guard. Okay? And from what you’ve told me about johnny’s past, you had good reason to be worried.

Allie: You know, my brother might have been a serious player back in the day. But I think for the first time he’s–he’s really in love. Just like I’m really in love with you.

Tripp: Hmm. But we don’t wanna be late. So, we should go shower. Together?

Tripp: That is a fantastic idea. Yes.

Susan: Begone, beelzebub! And if this doesn’t work — how about this? Burn, baby, burn.

Marlena: Susan, stop. Susan, stop. Look, I appreciate your concern, really, I do. But it’s marlena. The devil is gone.

Susan: I wanna believe you, I do, I do. But you know what lucifer can be. He can be a crafty son of a gun. And–and he can sneak up on you when you least expect it.

Marlena: Yeah. No, no, no. No more holy water.

Susan: No, I need–I need to vanquish evil.

Marlena: Oh, please, all you’re doing is vanquishing my makeup. Please, please, please stop. I promise you, it really is me. Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Susan: Okay, okay, I believe you, all right. You know– you are dr. Marlena evans, not the devil in disguise.

Marlena: And that’s true. So thank you. Thank you for believing me.

Susan: Oh, I do, I do, finally. You know what? You can have the holy water just in case. Here you go. I’m gonna keep the cross. It gives me comfort.

Marlena: Yeah. Well, come in. You know, after what you’ve been through, I can understand you being afraid.

Susan: Thank you. Thank you for understanding.

Marlena: Susan?

Susan: Hmm?

Marlena: John told me what I did to you. I’m so sorry.

Susan: Oh, hey, I don’t blame you, not one bit. I mean, it wasn’t you who turned me into kristen dimera and that little kitty cat. That was him.

Marlena: It must’ve been horrible.

Susan: Oh, I mean the kitty cat, that wasn’t so bad. But kristen, yeah, that was another story.

Marlena: Yeah. You know, the reason he wanted you to be kristen was so that you could seduce john.

Susan: Oh. You know what? There was no chance of that, nope. Zero, zilcho, zip that it was gonna happen because you know what? John black is true blue.

Marlena: I know. Even in my darkest hour, I never stopped believing in him. I never stopped believing in our love.

Eli: Lani, I know how you feel about paulina. But I don’t see the harm in going the family dinner or the party.

Lani: Don’t you get it? That’s not how she operates. You say yes to her once and next thing you know, it’s–it’s every week. Didn’t you see how she just barreled in here? She has no respect for boundaries. She doesn’t care about what we want. It’s all about what she wants.

Eli: Right now it’s all about chanel.

Lani: And I want to do something nice for chanel. But guess who bought the entire registry?

Eli: The best gift that you could give chanel is to be there for her.

Lani: Well, I wanna be with the kids.

Eli: You– we just put them down. I’m sure they’re– they’re out for the rest of the night.

Lani: Well, where are we gonna find a babysitter this late?

Eli: You’re looking at him.

Lani: What?

Eli: Wha–wait, you should go to the party yourself.

Lani: Oh, hell no. Mm-mm.

Eli: Hey, look, I know that you’re angry with your mother–

Lani: Don’t call–no, don’t call her that, eli.

Eli: Listen, chanel didn’t do anything wrong. I’m sure that she’ll be very hurt that you’re not there.

Lani: Do you have any idea what it’s like to be married to someone who’s always right?

Eli: I don’t– I don’t know about always but in this case, yes.

Lani: [Laughs]

Eli: Go–go get dressed. Be there for chanel.

Lani: Thank you.

Eli: Go, go.

Lani: Okay. I’m going.

Tripp: Wow. You look incredible.

Allie: And you look super hot in scrubs but even hotter in regular clothes. Not to mention out of them.

Tripp: I do love you.

[Phone rings] It’s the hospital. Dr. Johnson. I’m on my way.

Allie: No, it’s my fault for mentioning scrubs.

Tripp: Hopefully, this won’t take too long. And as soon as I’m done, I’ll head straight to the party. Okay?

Allie: Okay.

[Sighs]

[Dramatic music]

Johnny: I love you so much, chanel. And that is why I am so excited for this party tonight. So that both of our families can see that.

Chanel: They think we moved way too fast.

Johnny: Who cares? We know we made the right decision. Look at this. These rings, they mean that we belong to each other. We’re committed. And we’re in love. And we want the whole world to see that. And that’s what tonight’s about. It’s about going down there, and showing everybody that we are proud of the decision that we made. And that we couldn’t be more excited about the incredible life that we’re gonna build together as husband and as wife.

Chanel: Come on, G. Let’s get ready to go see our families.

Johnny: Okay. Let’s get down there and let’s torch any doubts in their minds.

Tony: A match made in hell? What a dreadful way to speak about your son’s marriage.

Ej: It’s the truth. Johnny is being taken for a ride by a con artist.

Anna: Now hang on here a minute, ej. Tony has met chanel and he thinks she’s a lovely young woman.

Tony: It doesn’t matter what I think. Johnny is obviously in love with her, made a commitment to her. I’m at least willing to give her a chance.

Ej: How much of a chance? One that costs us a million dollars? Ten? Twenty?

Anna: Oh, would you stop with the suspicions. You know, not everyone is after the dimera fortune.

Ej: It’s not speculation, I assure you. Chanel married xander cook when she thought he was wealthy. When she found out he wasn’t, she had the marriage annulled. It lasted all of one day.

Tony: Fine. But we don’t know the whole story now, do we? Not to mention the fact it happened some time ago. I mean, doesn’t chanel have her own successful business? And from what I’ve heard, she’s already an heiress. Her mother is very wealthy. A real estate mogul.

Ej: Yes. But it’s new money. I mean, look at that hideous banner and these decorations. I’d say paulina’s taste is a little– well, you get the picture.

Paulina: Well, not me. I don’t get the picture. Could you describe it to me, ej? Spell it out, huh? This is the sound of nature breathing.

Susan: I just admire you so much, dr. Marlena evans. I mean, you’re so wise and, I mean, you’ve helped so many people. And just talking to you right now, I mean, I feel like I can handle whatever comes my way. Like the party at the mansion.

Marlena: Party?

Susan: Uh-huh. To celebrate our sweet johnny getting married. You know, ms. Paulina price, she–that’s the bride’s mama, now she put it together real last-minute.

Marlena: I see.

Susan: I mean, since you’re johnny’s grandma, too, I mean, you should come. We should go together.

Marlena: No, no, no. I can’t do that.

Susan: Why the heck not?

Marlena: You’re not the only person that I hurt when I wasn’t myself. I actually, well, destroyed paulina’s wedding. And I don’t think she would want me there to celebrate her daughter’s wedding.

Paulina: What were you saying about my taste, ej? It’s, like, what? Cheap? Chintzy? Tacky?

Ej: Of course not. I’d call it…festive.

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Anna: Paulina, hi. I’m anna dimera, ej’s sister-in-law. And this is tony, my husband, ej’s brother.

Tony: Nice to meet you.

Paulina: It’s a pleasure to meet you both.

Anna: I can’t tell you, we’re so over the moon that your daughter and our nephew found each other. Can’t wait to meet your chanel. I’ve heard such nice things about her.

Ej: Tony, I could use your help with the champagne. Come along.

Tony: Excuse me.

Anna: Please, paulina, you have to ignore ej when he’s in a bad mood, which is most of the time.

Paulina: He’s not as enthusiastic about chanel becoming a dimera as you are.

Anna: Well, I just don’t– I don’t think he’s upset about your daughter. I think he’s more in a bad mood because he just got booted out of the family company and he might be going to prison.

Paulina: Oh, I heard about that.

Anna: Mm. And don’t listen to a word he said about your taste. I think the decorations are fabulous.

Paulina: Well, thank you. You’re staying for the party?

Anna: Oh, absolutely. I love celebrating young love. Or any kind of love.

Paulina: I am with you on that, anna.

[Doorbell rings]

Chanel: Horton! Wow, girl. You look beautiful.

Allie: Thanks. And you just take my breath away. Wow.

Demon johnny: We are looking so hot tonight, giovanni. If you’d just stop fighting me, we could set this whole town on fire. The world is full of make or break moments.

Chanel: Where’s tripp?

Allie: He’s on-call tonight.

Chanel: Oh, that’s sucks.

Allie: Yeah, I know. He said he might try and come over later though if it’s not too late when he’s done.

Chanel: Cool. And, horton, I want you to know I’m really glad you’re here.

Allie: I am too.

[Both giggle]

Tony: So when will chad and abigail arrive?

Ej: They’re not coming.

Tony: They declined your invitation?

Ej: I didn’t extend one. It’s bad enough that my home’s been transformed into a vegas wedding chapel. But if I also had to look at our brother’s smug face all evening, I might give the authorities a real reason to lock me up.

Tony: Cheer up, will you? Ej. This is a party.

Ej: Not one I wanted to have.

Paulina: You know, your brother-in-law got one thing right.

Anna: Really? What was that?

Paulina: It is festive!

Anna: Yes.

Paulina: And wait till you try the food, oh! I hired the top-notch caterer. Most amazing reviews. Oh, chanel! Allie!

Chanel: Hi, mama.

Paulina: Baby, oh! You look stunning. Oh, you both do.

Allie: Thank you. So do you, ms. Price.

Paulina: Well, thank you. Chanel darling, this is johnny’s auntie, ms. Anna dimera.

Chanel: Oh, it’s very nice to meet you.

Anna: You too. Same to you. And she’s right, you do look gorgeous. You both do. Aren’t they just adorable?

[Laughter]

Paulina: Oh, that they are.

Anna: Yeah, I mean it. It’s like the minute you walked in, I thought, “holy moly. These two have something really special going on.” I don’t know how else to say it but you just look so right together.

Paulina: Of course they do. They’re best friends, they’re business associates, and now sisters-in-law. But we better get this party started, but we can’t without the groom. Where is your husband, baby?

[Eerie music]

Johnny: No, no. This can’t be happening.

Demon johnny: Oh, but it is, giovanni. I know you can feel my power coursing through your veins. And I know you want it. And you know you want it. Stop fighting. Just give in to it. Give in to it now!

[Thunder booms]

Marlena: Susan? Susan? You’re pale as a ghost. Are you all right?

[Eerie music]

Tackling tough messes can

take more time than you have,

Susan: Oh, god. Oh, your shoes. Dr. Marlena evans, your shoes.

Marlena: Oh, oh, my goodness. No, no, susan, that’s okay. You just stay calm. I’m gonna take you to the hospital.

Susan: Oh, no, no, no. The party?

Marlena: Oh, you are not going to a party.

Susan: I have to. I have to. It’s for our grandson.

Marlena: No, no, no. The only place you’re going is a hospital. But I will–I will call ej and let him know what’s going on.

Susan: No, no, no, no, no. You know what? I’ll go to the hospital, all right, but please, please don’t tell ej. Don’t scare him, please.

Marlena: Okay, I won’T.

Ej: Marlena?

Marlena: Ej, hi. I’m here with your mom and she has a bit of an upset stomach and so she wants me to let you know she won’t be able to make it to the party.

Ej: Oh, that’s too bad. Is there anything I can do?

Marlena: No, thanks. I will keep an eye on her.

Ej: Thank you. Give her my love.

Marlena: I will. Bye.

Susan: Did he buy it?

Marlena: He bought it.

Susan: Okay.

Marlena: And now we’re gonna go to the hospital.

Chanel: I better go see what’s keeping johnny.

Paulina: Excuse us a moment.

Chanel: I thought you wanted to get the party started.

Paulina: I do. I do. But I wanna tell you something first. I invited your sister, but she can’t make it.

Chanel: Can’t? Or doesn’t want to? Mama, you can tell me the truth.

Paulina: Lani doesn’t wanna come because she doesn’t wanna be around me. It has absolutely nothing to do with you. She loves you. She loves you, baby. It’s just that her not being here–

Lani: Sorry, I’m late.

Paulina: Lani.

Lani: We couldn’t get a babysitter tonight, so eli is gonna stay with the kids. But, chanel, congratulations. I am just so happy to be here for you.

Chanel: And I’m so happy that you’re here.

Ej: Here you go. I just got word that my mother can’t make it. So everyone’s here except your husband. Any idea when he might deign to join us?

Johnny: Here’s johnny!

[Eerie music]

(Man 1 vo) I’m living with cll

Johnny: How’s it going, ladies?

Chanel: What was up with that entrance?

Johnny: Pretty great, right? I assume you got the reference.

Allie: “The shining.” Yeah, we got it. It was a little much, don’t you think?

Chanel: Yeah. I think you kind of freaked everyone out.

Johnny: Well, come on guys. It was a joke. Are those not allowed at wedding receptions? Should I not smile, either?

Chanel: You know I love your smile. But it’s just that, you know, I feel like you’re on a roller coaster. This–this morning you had zero energy. And then a few hours later, you were like a stallion.

Johnny: Well, I thought you rather enjoyed our afternoon romps.

Chanel: You know I do. It’s just that I’m worried that you’re running on fumes.

Johnny: Trust me, I’m fine. I feel like a million bucks.

Paulina: Well, enough with this chitchat now. Let’s get this party started.

Johnny: I’m sorry I’m late. But this place looks amazing, and so do you. It’s gonna be a great party, paulina.

Paulina: Oh, no, no, no, no. You call me mama. Oh, mama price. We’re family now.

Johnny: Well, okay, mama.

[Laughter]

Anna: Attention everyone. The father of the groom has a few words he’d like to say.

Ej: Thank you, anna. Good evening, everyone. Thank you all for joining us tonight to celebrate the marriage of my son johnny and his beautiful bride chanel dupree dimera. Please.

[Applause] Relationships between fathers and sons aren’t always easy, especially in the dimera family. We’re a strong-willed lot. Passionate. Determined. And our convictions about what’s right and what’s wrong can sometimes lead to conflict… it’s no secret that my son and I don’t always see eye to eye on everything. I don’t always agree with his choices. But johnny, you’re a grown man now, fully capable of making your own decisions. And whether or not I agree with them, always know that I will love you with all my heart and I want nothing more than for you to be happy. And it’s also so very clear that you, chanel, make my son very happy. Welcome to the family. Mm, we have someone special to thank for organizing this wonderful party, the mother of the bride. Paulina, please, the floor is yours.

Paulina: Well, as you all know, I’m painfully shy.

[Laughter] Well, okay, obviously that’s not the case. Shy I am not. But just a little– it’s a little overwhelming to see your baby get married. And I’ve had a great, great career and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished, but I am most proud of my family. And all I’ve ever wanted in my life was for my daughters to be happy and it looks like, thank god, they are now. And I have such confidence in chanel. And more important, she has confidence in herself. And she’s just like her mama, she knows her own mind and it wants johnny. And it’s safe to say that the rest of her does too.

[Laughter] So, young man, it’s all because of you. And let me tell you something, you do your mama price a favor and you keep it that way, okay? Or otherwise, you’re gonna have to answer to me.

Johnny: Ooh, I’m scared.

Paulina: All right, enough of that now. Who’s next? Chanel, right? Then johnny?

Allie: Actually, before they speak, there is something that I would like to say. I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Allie: When johnny and chanel first got back from italy and announced they’d been married, I wasn’t exactly supportive. And I apologized, but I know that it hurt badly. And so I’m here to apologize again, publicly. And let all of you how overjoyed I am that my brother and my best friend have found true love with each other. And I’m so lucky to have them both in my life. To johnny and chanel, I hope that you are happy together forever.

Lani: Um, what she said.

[Laughter] But seriously, chanel, I wish you and johnny a wonderful life together. I am so honored to celebrate you tonight. And I couldn’t be happier to have you as a sister.

[Baby crying]

[Light music]

And of course, I am very happy to have johnny as a brother-in-law.

Johnny: Well, hey, I’m lucky to have such a hot sister-in-law.

Chanel: Thank you, lani. And thank all of you for being here and for your beautiful words. And I appreciate johnny’s father for letting us know that he respects our decision, even though he doesn’t agree with it. And, mama, thank you for this amazing party and for all of your love and support. And horton, you’re already the best friend I could ever ask for. And now we’re sisters. I mean, how cool is that? And to the whole dimera family, thank you for opening up your home and your hearts to me. I’m so grateful. And I can’t wait to know you all even better. And now I would like to toast to my handsome, brilliant, amazing husband, who I am head over heels in love with. To johnny.

All: To johnny.

Anna: Well, go on, johnny. Kiss the bride.

[Laughter]

Tripp: And earlier in the day you felt fine? No dizziness, fever, or nausea?

Susan: No, no sir. But this morning I did have one of my visions.

Marlena: That’s why she contacted me.

Tripp: And is that– is that unusual, having–having a vision?

Susan: No. No. I have them all the time. But this one–this one, it was completely different. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. It was so powerful, I felt it from the tippy, tippy top of my head all the way down to my toes. I haven’t the foggiest idea what it was, but it literally, literally made me sick.

[Eerie music]

Johnny: And now it is my turn. And I’d like to start by paying homage to my nonno. And there he is. The formidable stefano dimera. Whom I loved and revered and miss to this day. He gave me everything a kid could ever want. And he taught me that nothing is more important than family. You know, they say parents and grandparents they shouldn’t pick favorites. He ignored that rule. He let me know, without question, that I was his favorite. His little giovanni. I thought he was the greatest. But then as I got older, I realized some people thought he was a terrible person. Some even said he was evil. I never saw it that way. I saw stefano dimera as a man who knew what he wanted. And he didn’t let anything stand in his way. Well, I don’t consider that evil. I think it’s smart. Something to be admired. It’s taken me a while to figure out what it is that I want, but I finally have. And chanel, I have come to realize it’s not you.

Chanel: What?

Johnny: I’m sorry, chanel. I don’t wanna be married to you anymore.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Dramatic music ]

Brooke: I’m just so ashamed.

Ridge: Don’t be.

Hope: Alcoholism is a disease. No guilt, okay? None.

Brooke: Honey, I let you down. I let myself down.

Ridge: Because you had a drink? No, you didn’t let anybody down. All right?

Brooke: It was more than just one drink. I fell back into my old habits and I kept pouring and pouring. And… I don’t even how I made it to bed that night. I don’t know why I lost my willpower. I don’t know what drove me to drink.

Taylor: Huh. A weird vibe from hope?

Steffy: Yeah. Acting concerned about brooke because of new year’s eve.

Taylor: Hm. What about it?

Steffy: Well, dad wasn’t home. Brooke was all alone. And hope says that brooke was pretty affected by it. I know, right? It just seems so, so weird. But hope is really worried about brooke because she hasn’t been the same since that night. And hope has no idea why.

Bill: So, she really liked it. You’re not pulling my leg.

Liam: Are you kidding me? You saw her face light up at christmas. She loves it. It’s like her new favorite stuffed animals. Or stuffed… currency, I guess. I don’t know. She’s napping with it right now. Where do you get it?

Bill: Hm.

Liam: Where did you find it?

Bill: Oh, oh, ah. Well, I found it on–

Liam: Oh my god.

Bill: Okay, fine, fine. I didn’t actually find it. I had my assistant… do my shopping. And by the way, this one does a much better job of shopping than alison ever did.

Liam: This one does a much better job? This one does. You don’t know her name, do you?

Bill: Of course, I know her name. Her name is–

Liam: It’s wooo–

Douglas: Liam?

Liam: Yeah.

Douglas: Oh hey, dollar bill.

Bill: I love this kid.

Liam: What’s up?

Douglas: I think the wifi is out.

Liam: Ah, well, guess what? Perfect timing because screen time is up. And plus, I think I see a soccer ball out there with your name on it.

Douglas: Okay.

Bill: Later buddy.

Liam: Have fun or at least try.

Douglas: Bye.

Liam: Bye.

Bill: Anyway, I’m not here to talk about names and presents.

Liam: Ah yes. I know I just got off the phone with wyatt. He said–

Bill: I’m not here to talk about eye on fashion either. I’m here for you. Things have been crazy at work. We don’t get much one on one time. But I will make time for it, if you need me. I will make time for you.

Liam: Well, thank you. And I know.

Bill: So, how are you son? Really. Things okay with you and hope, now that that convict, deacon sharp, is back in her life?

Liam: YeaH. I’m not really sure how to answer that. Yes, we’re okay. No, it’s not easy.

Bill: How could it be? Hope’s making a terrible decision and dragging you into it with her.

Liam: Believe me, I’m still extremely weary of deacon. And I’m just, uh… I don’t know, I’m just trying to be supportive of my wife because I know that’s what hope needs right now. So.

Bill: Ah liam, hope is going to learn the hard way, yet again, that wherever deacon, that two bit con man goes, trouble follows.

Taylor: Maybe brooke is mad about ridge not making it home. I mean, I would– I would hope not. I mean, clearly, she knows that he’s running a company. Sometimes, that means–

Steffy: No. Hope claims brooke wasn’t upset about that.

Taylor: If hope is sensing something, saying that brooke hasn’t been the same… upset or not, ridge’s absence clearly triggered something in brooke.

Ridge: It doesn’t matter why it happened. Important thing is you told us, and you want help.

Hope: That’s right. One day at a time. You came forward, you opened up.

Brooke: I called my sponsor too. But, why wasn’t I able to fight this urge? It’s something I’ve been able to do for so long and… what made me slip up this time?

Hope: Are you sure you don’t know why? Was there some underlying reason?

Brooke: No. No, I honestly don’t know.

Ridge: We’re also sure that deacon had nothing to do with this?

Brooke: Deacon. Why even bring him up? I already told you that I’m the only one to blame here, so–

Hope: You know, maybe it’s my fault. You know, I’m the one that’s been so vocal about wanting my dad in my life. Maybe added a lot of stress and made you want to drink.

Brooke: Honey, don’t think this has anything to do with you.

Ridge: And I’m not– I’m not saying that. I didn’t say that you were adding stress. It’s– deacon is the only thing that’s new around here, right? So, did he say something? Did he rattle you in any way?

Hope: No. I was there the entire night. He didn’t do anything like that.

Brooke: Yeah, no. Deacon was fine. Nothing was said.

Ridge: All right. Let’s leave that alone for now. What do we do? What’s next?

Brooke: Well, I definitely think that I need to go to a meeting, as soon possible.

Ridge: Okay. I’ll go with you.

Brooke: No, ridge. You don’t have to do that.

Ridge: I want to. I want to be by your side.

Hope: And I’m here too, mom. Anything you need. I just I hate that I left you all alone on new year’s eve. If I had known that you were struggling, I would have stayed.

Brooke: Honey, please put that out of your mind. Please.

Ridge: How would you find a meeting? Is there an app? There something– I don’t know.

Brooke: Why don’t you go get my purse and I’ll look one up, okay?

Ridge: Okay.

Brooke: Thank you. Thank you, sweetie.

Hope: Mom, you may have been alone on new year’s eve, but you’re not alone now, okay?

Brooke: Oh, honey, I love you.

Hope: Love you.

Steffy: Hope’s not the only one noticing something off with brooke. Dad mentioned it too.

Taylor: Interesting.

Steffy: Yeah. He said that she hasn’t been the same since he got back.

Taylor: Well, it sounds like it really is about his absence that night. Consciously or not, it sounds like she’s holding it against him.

Steffy: Dad’s absence… or is it deacon?

Taylor: Deacon?

Steffy: Yeah, hope invited him to the party.

Taylor: The plot thickens.

Steffy: This whole deacon situation has caused dad and liam so much grief. They deserve better.

Liam: This is only going to go one of two ways, either hope is right and deacon has changed. In which case, you know, okay, great. I’m happy to be wrong. Or–

Bill: You’re not wrong. Deacon is going to cause all kinds of damage. Look, we both know how this is going to go down. Hope’s degenerate father… is going to show his true colors. He can’t help himself. Now, before you start lecturing me, I just want to tell you that I came here–

Hope: No. Nothing to say. I know how you feel. Now, can I have some alone time with my husband?

Bill: As I said, I’m here for you. I’m here for both of you. When the inevitable happens.

Liam: Thanks, dad.

[ Hope sighs ]

Liam: Well, he means well.

Hope: Not when it comes to my father. And frankly, I don’t really care about what bill thinks is inevitable. So.

Liam: Hey, hope. What’s wrong?

Hope: It’s my mother.

Ridge: You got this. We hit the bike trails every weekend

Steffy: I do think something’s wrong with brooke, something major.

Taylor: Yeah. She’s keeping it to herself, that can’t be good. That’s true. I hope she gets some support… and soon.

Hope: I felt like something has been off with my mom ever since new year’s eve.

Liam: Well, what do you mean by off?

Hope: Well, it’s just… she’s been on edge. You know, she hasn’t been herself and I’ve been trying to figure out what’s wrong.

Liam: I mean, ridge didn’t come home that night like she expected him to. Could just be that.

Hope: No, I mean she might have gotten temporarily upset about that. But this… this feels like something deeper and… then I got to thinking that maybe it does have to do with my dad. And maybe she does resent me.

Liam: I mean, your mom could never be resentful of you, but go on.

Hope: Well, I have been pushing really hard for my dad to be a part of my life and that is someone who my mom has tried really hard to– to put in the past and forget about and… maybe I am asking too much of her.

Liam: You should talk to her. She’ll open up.

Hope: Well, I don’t have to because I walked in on ridge and my mom having a very… intense conversation.

Liam: Like an argument? Were they arguing?

Hope: No, no, but it was emotional. And my mom has been hiding something since new year’s eve and I knew it. I should have stayed. I should have had you put the kids to bed. And–

Liam: Okay, stop, stop. What’s going on?

Hope: She drank, liam. After we left that night… my mom drank.

Brian: And there I was, watching my brother pass around the eggnog, trying to pretend like I wasn’t salivating. But… what was I? Practically drooling. Telling myself, why not just take a sip? Have one cup. Or two. Or 20? But I didn’T. Thanks to my sponsor.

Sponsor: Proud of you, brian.

Brian: I imagine I’m not the only one that the holidays were tough for. Anyone else ready to share? Perhaps, one of our new faces.

Brooke: Um. Hello. I’m brooke and I’m an alcoholic. Nope

Steffy: If something’s going on with brooke, it’ll affect dad.

Taylor: Possibly or whatever it is, it could just go away.

Steffy: Mom, this is brooke we’re talking about. When she’s in trouble, everything blows up in her face. And who’s the one that picks up the pieces? It’s dad. I’m just glad you’re back in town because I don’t think it’s going to be long until dad needs someone to lean on.

Liam: Whoa, you serious? Your mom, she drank on new year’s?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: I am sorry. I didn’t even know she was tempted. Everything seemed normal.

Hope: She doesn’t even know why she had the desire. But after we left, she… she caved and she opened up the vodka.

Liam: Oh my god, hope. I’m so sorry.

Hope: Yeah, I am, too. I’m just, I’m mad at myself for not realizing how vulnerable she was that night. If I had noticed something that night, I could of–

Liam: Okay, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait. Wait, the one thing that you cannot be doing right now is blame yourself. We all thought ridge was on his way home and that they were going to have a lovely evening together. And even so, well, it’s not like you can’t leave your mom alone. She went years and years without drinking. Okay, so please do not stress yourself out right now by– by thinking you were supposed to know that she would suddenly relapse. That is not your responsibility.

Hope: I know that. It’s just, it’s sad. Knowing now that she needed help, that she was all alone, probably staring at that bottle, trying not to drink. But then she gave in. She didn’t even come down here to the cabin. She didn’t call us. I left my mom all alone on new year’s eve.

Liam: Well, we’re all here now. All of us, including ridge, for whatever she needs.

Hope: He was being so caring and supportive. He’s actually taking her to a meeting right now.

Liam: Good. That’s great. See, that’s great. Your mom’s got support. She’s got resources. She’s got a ton of people in her life who love her and will do anything for her. It’s good.

Hope: I know I should be… happy about that, but I can’t help but worry. I mean, all these years of sobriety, just… so, I just need to figure out, you know, what changed. There–there had to be a reason. There had to be something. There’s something there that I have missed because why– why would it happen now?

Liam: Now, listen.

Douglas: Mommy, is everything okay?

Brooke: I… had a bit of a relapse.

Brian: If you aren’t ready.

Brooke: No, no, it’s okay. I think it’d be good for me to talk about it. This is my husband, ridge.

Ridge: Yes. Yes, I’m ridge, I’m not an alcoholic, but I’m married to one and… I’m going to see her through this.

Brian: A relapse? So, you’ve gone through this before?

Brooke: Ah. Yeah, yeah, I’ve had my moments. I mean, for the most part, I had everything under control. I mean. I’ve gone to meetings through the years. Here and there, and… I’ve been in recovery for a long time. So, this just kind of came out of nowhere.

Brian: Nowhere?

Brooke: I mean, everything was fine. It was new year’s eve–

Brian: A problematic holiday.

Brooke: Well, maybe for some people, it could be, yes. I could understand that. But for me, it wasn’T. And I was drinking non-alcoholic champagne. And I wasn’t even thinking about the real stuff. We’re just having a beautiful night. It’s my daughter and my grandchildren and her husband, her father. It was like a normal holiday. There were noisemakers, and we’re just celebrating. The kids we’re having a great time and then they went upstairs to watch a movie. Well, they fell asleep and that’s when everybody left. And I was just there. I was home waiting for my wonderful husband to get back so we could celebrate the new year together. But he called and said that um, he was going to be delayed. And that’s when…

Brian: And what?

Brooke: When… it just switched. Inside of me, I just had this, this overwhelming feeling to drink. To drink real alcohol. I don’t know where it came from. Honestly, I just… I reached for the bottle of vodka and I poured myself a glass, and I just– I just slugged it back. It’s like I had already been drinking. I… I mean, all those years in recovery and…

Brian: You said you were alone.

Douglas: Mommy, what’s wrong?

Hope: Oh, it’s nothing, sweetie.

Douglas: You seem sad.

Hope: Well, I–I am a little.

Liam: Yeah, but it’s okay to be sad sometimes, right?

Douglas: What are you sad about?

Hope: Oh, it’s just something to do with grandma. But it will be okay.

Liam: Yeah.

Douglas: I saw grandma kissing santa claus.

Hope: What?

Douglas: I saw grandma kissing santa clause.

Liam: Hey, buddy. Not right now.

Douglas: Okay.

Brooke: What?

Brian: When your husband was away on business, your daughter left with her kids, so you were all alone.

Brooke: We’re going to need to just keep this secret, deacon. Alone.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ashland: Well, something’s got you out of sorts.

Victoria: I’m just frustrated. I haven’t heard from billy. He hasn’t responded to any of my messages. I’m worried that he might be waffling on the plan.

Ashland: Well, relying on billy to do something as important as this was always a risky bet.

Victoria: Billy’s not a problem, at least not yet. He just hasn’t given me his answer.

Ashland: No. There are more powerful ways to undermine adam and to force newman media to sell. I built an empire off moves that compelled companies to do just that. But never once was I required to trust someone as unpredictable as billy.

Victoria: Well, I’m not ready to kick him to the curb just yet. Working with him will be a small price to pay for a big pay-off. Can you imagine the look on adam’s face when he realizes that we’ve taken over newman media?

Ashland: Are you sure your motivation for doing this is adam? The two of you haven’t had any huge issues lately.

Victoria: This has nothing to do with sibling rivalry. It’s business.

Ashland: Well, I hate to say it, but it seems to me like this is more, once again, of you trying to protect billy.

Billy: All I’m asking you to do is reconsider your decision from yesterday. Don’t pull out of the plan now.

Lily: No, I was on board when it was our plan, but now it’s become victoria’s plan, and i want no part of that.

Billy: I still have control. She can’t do anything without me.

Lily: Yeah, and you’re worried that you can’t pull this off without me.

Billy: No, that’s not what it is. I want to be side-by-side with you. I want to work together because that’s where we are strongest.

Billy: No, they haven’T. This is still about getting back at victor and adam for what they did to us. That is still the goal.

Lily: No, the original was you repairing your reputation, not building victoria’s empire.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Look, if I can get my hands on adam’s company, okay, that allows me to prove myself, that I am still capable of running a business.

Lily: Oh, my god, how do you know that she’s even gonna follow through with her end of the bargain? And even if she does, that has you working for her, instead of

with me. Is that what you want?

Billy: No, that’s not what i want, and that’s not what this is about at all.

Lily: You know what? This is you and victoria falling into old patterns, and honestly, I want nothing to do with it.

Billy: Lily, just list– that’s — lily, please.

Faith: I can’t believe winter break is almost over.

Moses: [ Groans ] Back to the grind.

Faith: As if you don’t love school.

Moses: My first day back, I’m gonna wear this sweater. I’ve gotten a ton of compliments on it. You really got me the best christmas gift ever.

Faith: I did nail it, if I do say so myself.

Moses: Yeah, and, you know, I’m sorry my book gift wasn’t as cool. It’s just elena mentioned getting a book from nate, and it just seemed like a thing, like it was romantic.

Faith: I totally love it.

Adam: Hi, faith.

Faith: Hi.

Adam: Moses, what’s up?

Moses: Nothing, it’s just every time I see you, I think, “hey, that’s the guy who saved faith’s life.”

Amanda: Good morning.

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: Have you had breakfast yet?

Devon: I have not.

Amanda: Okay, do you want me to make you something? I can cook some eggs or toast.

Devon: No. I’ll pass. Thank you, though.

Amanda: Well, I have to thank you for getting out of bed so quietly last night. But your pillow was still empty when the sun came up this morning. So clearly you won’t sleep, you won’t eat. This is about dominic, isn’t it?

Abby: What are you up to? Looking into those police cases rey told you about yesterday?

Chance: [ Chuckles ] No, actually. I’m just checking out some parenting articles.

Abby: Oh. Learn any new tricks?

Chance: Yeah, a few, actually. But, abby, there’s actually something on my mind that I want to talk to you about.

Abby: What?

Chance: Well, I’ve made some decisions about returning to the force.

(Ziploc bag opening)

provided by… doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Devon: I know you’re concerned, and I appreciate it, but you really don’t have to be.

Amanda: You sure about that?

Devon: Yes.

Amanda: ‘Cause I really hate leaving you like this. You know, I could get imani to cover all of my new client meetings. I could stay here if you want to just talk.

Devon: No, no, no, no, no. This is a big day for you guys. You guys got your first clients with your new law firm. I’m not gonna let you miss that. Alright?

Amanda: Okay, but you call me if you need anything, alright?

Devon: I promise I will. Okay? Will you get out of here? And good luck.

Amanda: Thank you.

Lily: Hey.

Amanda: Lily, hi.

Lily: Hi. Where are you going? I have treats.

Amanda: Yum, I would really love to stay, but I got to get to work.

Lily: Okay.

Amanda: Talk to him.

Lily: Okay, yeah. Alright, bye. Hello.

Devon: Hi. Did amanda call and ask you to come check on me?

Lily: No, she didn’t, but I’m glad I did. I wanted to see how you were doing. So where do things stand with you and the baby?

Abby: Well, I would much rather talk about the parenting articles you’re reading than your return to the gcpd.

Chance: I know. I will share everything that i picked up from these with you later, but I got to get this off my chest, okay? I’ve been thinking about the way I acted yesterday. I just got so fixated on going back to work and becoming a detective again. I got all excited after one meeting with rey — one meeting. And I’m guessing you were pretty annoyed by that, even though you didn’t say anything.

Abby: Not so much annoyed as disheartened.

Chance: And I’m sorry. I don’t know what to say, except that I just felt this rush of adrenaline, just talking about those cases, you know? But after I came off that high, I thought about how I reacted to even thinking about going back to the force. And I realized something.

Abby: How much you missed it and can’t wait to get back out there?

Chance: Quite the opposite, actually. Look, I know you were not crazy about the idea from the get-go, and I know what it means to our family, so I’m gonna talk to the chief and I’m gonna see about extending my time off indefinitely.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Moses: Could I be more of a dork? “Hey, adam, you gave your kidney to my girlfriend before she was my girlfriend, but you’re still the only reason she’s around to be my girlfriend.”

Faith: That is not how you sounded.

Moses: It was lame and narcissistic, and I’m embarrassed.

Faith: Nobody thought that. It was sweet. But, yeah, the whole thing was weird. I hated adam a lot. He’s this good guy, but then he does horrible things. Or he’s a horrible guy that does good things.

Moses: Yeah, I get it. But I’m just glad for your sake he had one of those good moments for you.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Suddenly this is now victoria’s chess game, and you and I are the pawns. I’m not doing this. I refuse to let either one of us be used by her.

Jack: Please tell me i misunderstood just now. It sounded like you said you’re going to fall apart just to mess with the newmans?

Lily: You are at her mercy. Do you really think that she’s gonna give you control of a media company after you tried to stop her wedding? After what you tried to do to her husband? I mean, do you really think that you can trust her with anything?

Jack: Why would you want to stay mired in this obsessive need to hurt victor and adam? You have other options!

Lily: We are strongest together, but not with victoria in the mix.

Billy: That’s iT. This is done. This is over. The jig is up.

Sally: [ Fake accent ] I don’t know what you’re talking about. You have the wrong person.

Billy: You’re embarrassing yourself, sally. In this ridiculous disguise. Get up. We’re going to see your boss.

Moses: Hey, elena. Just the person I was looking for.

Elena: Hey, moses. How’s it going?

Moses: Good. But I was just wondering if i could ask you for a favor. Hey, so I’m gonna just head out for a little bit. I’ll be back later.

Faith: With elena?

Moses: What? No. I just have something to do. It’ll be short, but if you don’t want to wait for me, I can come by later and swing by your place.

Faith: I have to finish my winter break reading assignment, so it’s fine. I’ll be here.

Moses: Okay, cool. I’ll see you later.

Victoria: I have no desire to control billy. It was actually his demand to be put in charge of newman media once we acquire it, not mine.

Ashland: But you can’t deny it would put him firmly back in your orbit.

Victoria: I assure you, that’s not his motive. And remember, I have no intention of putting him in charge. He is just a useful tool with a plan already in motion.

Ashland: A risky plan with greater odds of failure than success, and you’re smart enough to see that.

Victoria: I realize that me working with billy is a sore spot for you, and I understand why you might feel that way, after everything that he’s done to try to hurt you. But you have to trust me on this one. We will benefit.

Ashland: I’m not gonna tell you what to do. But I think you’re making a foolish move, one I can’t say i understand.

Adam: Billy.

[ Clears throat ] Whatever it is you want, I don’t have the time, so you might as well turn around and leave.

Billy: Save it, adam. You’re not a good enough actor to pretend you don’t want to hear what I have to say, especially after all the work you went through to get “double o nothing” to spy on me.

Adam: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Billy: You know, you might have got away with it, but sally’s obvious and ridiculous disguise was way too much. You probably want to tell her to stick to wedding dresses.

Adam: Oh, I think you should really see someone about your extreme paranoia.

Billy: We all know what’s happening here, and it all started when sally saw me having a drink in the middle of the afternoon at society.

Sally: I couldn’t help being concerned.

Billy: Concern? That’s why you videotaped me at the coffee house, having a conversation with victoria about my kids going to boarding school? What about when I got in a little argument with lily at society? And you, too. You witnessed it when I got in a fight with lily at the restaurant. I got so upset, I tripped and fell. And what about the time when sally saw me gambling at the empty glass?

Adam: I’m surprised you can remember those occasions, considering the drunken stupor you were in.

Billy: See, that’s the thing. I remember everything very clearly. Because I didn’t have one sip of alcohol. I was stone-cold sober the entire time.

Adam: Right. Right.

Sally: I guess you were too drunk to remember how drunk you were.

Billy: Those are all receipts from everything that I drank. And if you went to every bartender around town, they will tell you that it was apple juice, which is exactly what it says right there. And as far as the gambling, i have a recording where I sat down with my friends at the empty glass and was very specific when I said I am not betting on one single game. I will, however, buy them a drink for their time, which is what you saw when I put money down on the table. It was not a lost wager at all. No benders, no mergers, no falling off the wagon. You witnessed exactly what you wanted to witness.

Adam: Sally, will you please excuse us? I want to finish this with billy alone.

Sally: Billy, I’m genuinely glad that you’re okay.

Adam: So what the hell was the point of this supposed grand charade?

These are the faces

Abby: Are you sure you want to take an indefinite leave from the police force? I don’t want you to feel like i pressured you into this or that I’m dictating your career moves.

Chance: Hey, cut it out, alright? I made this decision all on my own, although you did play a big part in it.

[ Chuckles ] I just listened to what you said the other day, and I want to try to focus all of my time and energy on you and dom. Sure, yeah, I feel healthy enough to go back, but it dawned on me last night — that pull to go back in the force will only take me farther away from you and dom emotionally, and I don’t want that.

Abby: Yeah, I mean, we were apart for so long. And I thank god for every second that I have with you. But…I really want to make sure that this is — this is what you want.

Chance: I am absolutely certain. I know with you by my side, i can conquer this fatherhood thing.

Abby: Well, my strong, brave, dedicated husband…

Chance: Oh.

Abby: …You can always count on me. I might not always have the answers. I mean, I’m still figuring this parenting thing out. Every day is a step forward or a step back, and it’s trial and error. And we are gonna struggle through the strained peas and the dirty diapers, but we’re doing this together. And that’s what matters.

Devon: You know, you really didn’t have to come and check on me. I appreciate it, but I’m fine.

Lily: Well, I’m glad I did. I’ve been worried about you. I mean, I know that you’ve grown more and more attached to dominic, and then nate told me that you’re thinking about talking to abby and chance about revisiting your agreement.

Devon: I did more than think about it.

Lily: What happened?

Devon: They shot me down. They were both completely against the idea, but they told me I can still see dominic whenever I want, just on their terms.

Lily: Well, I mean, what more do you want? You already have free access to him.

Devon: Yeah, it’s deeper than that, though.

Lily: How?

Devon: Because when he stayed with me, I realized that I want more than just occasional visits with him. And I’m worried about his wellbeing.

Noah: Hey, kid. What are you up to?

Faith: Reading. You should try it sometime. Might make you smarter.

Noah: Oh, you’re hilarious.

Faith: I’m waiting for moses, who I think went someplace with elena, even though he insisted that’s not what he was doing, which was weird.

Noah: And now your head is spinning and you’re coming up with a bunch of scenarios.

Faith: Yeah. I mean, why would he lie to me?

Noah: Just stop, okay? You’re gonna drive yourself crazy.

Faith: That’s not what I’m doing. Moses and I are totally solid. We talk all of the time. We like all of the same things. We’re happy, and he makes everything better.

Noah: And…?

Faith: [ Sighs ] I still worry. I mean, things go wrong. People hold back the truth. I mean, think about our parents. Things you never expect to happen happen.

Noah: Yeah, I know. And you’re not wrong. But you got to be strong enough to roll with the punches, even if it doesn’t go your way.

Faith: How do you know if you’re strong enough?

Noah: You don’t, not until it happens, and when it does, you either suck it up or you fall apart.

Faith: [ Sighs ]

Billy: Come on, adam, keep up. Put the pieces together.

Adam: Well, from where i stand, all I’ve seen you do is publicly humiliate yourself, so I don’t know what you’re gloating about, billy. I mean, unless you are drunk right now or you’re pretending again. So which one is it?

Billy: Once again, not a sip of alcohol. What you’re not understanding here is that you’ve been played, and you were so desperate and stupid that you took the bait.

Adam: And what the hell did you think convincing me you were drunk would accomplish?

Billy: I fed you exactly what you were hungry for. I played the part that you were dying to see — the downward spiral of billy abbott. It was only a matter of time before you and newman media published an article splashing the headline everywhere. Which is when I was gonna turn the tables on you, sue the pants off you and your company for defamation, leaving you with nothing.

Adam: Huh.

Billy: But, of course, I’m a generous guy, so I was gonna offer you mercy, only if you came clean and admitted what you, victor, and ashland did to me and my company. It was karma clapping back, adam, and you did not see it coming.

Adam: Hmm. It’s not a completely terrible plan. But you do realize that you shot yourself in the foot. You were supposed to wait until I published something nasty about you to reveal your hand.

Billy: I changed my mind. I’m not going down that path anymore.

Adam: So you quit before you accomplished anything. Huh. That’s on brand for you.

Billy: Actually, adam, i finally realized that you’re not worth it. You’re not worth my time. You’re not worth the space in my head. You’re — you’re really not worth anything to anyone. You will always be the runner-up newman, the epic failure, two steps behind all the time. And I realize that I can’t really bring you down any further than you’ve already brought yourself over the years.

[ Sighs ] And as much as I would love to stick around and watch you embarrassing yourself, trying to explain this to your daddy, I got a life to live.

Adam: Not much of one anymore.

Billy: You know, adam, I’m gonna get over what you did to me, and I will redeem myself on my own and you will continue to sit there wallowing in the truth of who you really are. Knowing that I could’ve took you down and I didn’T. And that’s gonna haunt you more than if I actually did.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: Is the coast clear?

Adam: Billy is gone.

Sally: Good.

[ Sighs ] I hope that you will give me a minute to apologize. I’m really sorry that I got busted by billy. I had no idea that he was onto me or all that drinking and gambling was a part of some big performance.

Billy: Well, how could you? His act was pretty convincing.

Sally: Yeah, I don’t know what all that was about anyway, and I don’t know if I want to know. But despite your tortured history with billy, you admitted to me that you take no satisfaction in seeing him relapse, so, I mean, this is good news, right?

Victoria: Oh, well, I’m glad you finally decided to respond to my messages. But it didn’t require an in-person visit. A phone call would’ve been sufficient.

Billy: Not with what I have to say to you.

Victoria: I hope you’re here to tell me when you plan your next move with adam.

Billy: I’ve already done that, but it’s not what you’re expecting.

Victoria: What are you trying to pull?

Billy: I went to the empty glass earlier, and I was ready to pull off another repeat performance. And as I sat there waiting for my audience to show up, I was struck by a lot of thoughts swirling around my head.

Victoria: Well, you know that bar has never been the healthiest place for you to begin with.

Billy: Mm. I don’t disagree with you. And maybe that’s why I was hit with the realizations that then knocked me sideways.

Victoria: I’m not liking the sound of this.

Billy: I went to adam. I told him everything. I told him that I’m walking away. I’m out. As of right now, I’m done.

Lily: Are you telling me that dom might be in jeopardy?

Devon: No. No, I think that — dom is fine. The problem is chance because he’s still recovering from losing his entire team in that explosion. And I feel horrible for him, but he needs time to heal from it, and it’s taking away from his ability to be a father.

Lily: Yeah, but is that just your opinion?

Devon: No, it’s not just my opinioN. I talked to him about it. He told me that. He said very clearly that he’s struggling.

Lily: Wow, I really feel for everyone involved.

Devon: I know, and I’m not trying to condemn what he’s going through or blame him for his feelings, because i understand where they’re coming from.

Lily: But?

Devon: But I can’t help feeling the need to protect dominic from the emotional turmoil in that house, and it’s the same thing that abby was worried about when she left him with me.

Lily: Okay, so she’ll understand where you’re coming from.

Devon: She might have if i would’ve handled things differently. ‘Cause all I did was piss her off by asking her for visitation. And I don’t know how to get her to understand that I’m just — I’m trying to do what’s best for dominic and what I think is fair to me. I know you might feel differently about this because mackenzie carried the twins.

Lily: No, no, no. Look, I get that they’re separate issues. I do. So you might be surprised to hear me say this, but…I agree with you. I think you have a right to be a protective presence in dom’s life. You try to stay ahead of the mess

Victoria: So why don’t you tell me exactly what you said to adam?

Billy: I told him everything. I laid out the whole plan, except for your involvement and your desire to take over newman media. I told him about my boozeless drinks and the fact that I did not wager a single penny that whole entire time, that it was a carefully orchestrated scheme to force his hand. And let me tell you, it felt good. It felt good to look him in the eye and tell him that I’m walking away because he is not worth it.

Victoria: So, you had a mini moment to gloat. Tell me, billy, was it worth it?

Billy: Yeah, you know what? It was, because me taking the high road is not an easy step.

Victoria: Why don’t you be honest? If not with me, then at least yourself. That’s not the real reason you dropped the plan.

Billy: Oh, yeah, what do you think it is?

Victoria: You couldn’t stand that I commandeered your idea, that I’m the one calling the shots. It’s driving you crazy. That’s why you decided to now have a glorious change of heart after all the years of rage between you and adam and all of the — the chaos that he’s caused. Now that I have a stake in it, you’ve decided to pretend to act rationally.

Billy: You’re giving yourself too much credit, victoria.

Victoria: I know you too well. This is just another one of your knee-jerk reactions. It’s symptomatic of a long history of inconsistency, and i will tell you, this is why you will never have what it takes to play in the big leagues.

Billy: Well, now, thank you for supporting my emotional development.

[ Door opens ]

Ashland: Oh, what’s going on here?

Victoria: You were right. I was foolish to count on billy.

Billy: It’s nice to know how much faith you both have in me.

Victoria: He’s suddenly decided that he wants to bail on our plan.

Ashland: Mm. Well, frankly, I’m relieved.

Victoria: You know, I realize that once we do take control of newman media, it would’ve been a huge mistake putting someone so unreliable in charge.

Billy: Yeah, yeah, especially if that’s the moral that you’re taking away from this story.

Victoria: Well, what am i supposed to take from this?

Billy: You know, vick…the people that are closest to me, the people that actually cared about me, they were worried about this plan, given my history. They actually had my best interests at heart, not their business’S. Look at you, huh? You have your selfish priorities firmly in place. And it makes me sad to say this, but your father would be extremely proud of you.

[ Door slams ]

Faith: It’s been a while. Guess moses isn’t coming back after all.

Noah: Why don’t you just text him instead of making these random assumptions?

Moses: Faith, you’re still here. I thought you would’ve left.

Faith: Of course I waited for you.

Moses: Hey, noah.

Noah: Hey, bud. Good to see you. I was actually just leaving. What’d I tell you?

Faith: Where did you go?

Moses: You know, I still felt weird that you got me this great gift, and I just got you a book.

Faith: But I love the book.

Moses: Yeah, but still, i wanted to get you something else, so you can look at it and think of me, since I have this sweater and I think of you.

Faith: Oh, my gosh. A charm bracelet with little chess pieces.

Moses: I thought it was a good reminder of when we first met and played chess in the hospital.

Faith: Be honest — did elena pick it out?

Moses: [ Chuckles ] No, it was all my idea. I just needed her help in how to find it in town, and I lied about going with her because i didn’t want to ruin the surprise.

Elena: They are so adorable.

Noah: So innocent, wholesome.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, you know, it’s funny. We met at one romantic event — victoria and ashland’s wedding — and here we are witnessing another.

Noah: Well, I-I wouldn’t go that far. I mean, they are cute, but, you know, they’re just kids.

Elena: Hey, you can’t knock young love. It’s just as important, even if it doesn’t last forever.

Noah: Yeah, sometimes us adults can’t make it last forever either.

Abby: You have really become an expert at this whole car seat thing. You can get dom in and out of there without even a whimper. I haven’t mastered that yet.

Chance: He may not have whimpered, but daddy sure let out a few cries there.

[ Both laugh ] Plus, he’s just not scared of it anymore, isn’t that right, buddy?

Abby: Well, hey, it’s like i said before, it’s all part of the learning process — for babies and their parents. Why don’t you two get settled in? And I’m gonna go check in with pamela.

Chance: Okay. Hey, hey, hey. Hey, hey, hey, what do you say? Look at me. Oh, oh. Yeah, daddy’s a funny guy, huh? Oh. Oh. Here I come. I’mma come in there and get you. Here I come. I’m gonna get you.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Oh, that’s fun, isn’t it? That’s some fun stuff. Yeah, you’re just too cute, aren’t you? People everywhere living with

[ Door opens ]

Billy: I am really glad that you’re home.

Lily: If your good mood has anything to do with your plan, i don’t want to hear it.

Billy: I think you’re gonna want to hear what I have to say. I’m done. It’s over.

Lily: What’s over?

Billy: I went to adam and i told him everything, and it felt amazing. And it feels like a massive weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Lily: What about victoria?

Billy: I told her, too. And she wasn’t happy about it, but if she wants to go after newman media, she’s gonna have to do it on her own. She’s not gonna use me.

Lily: I’m really proud of you.

Billy: Well, the lion’s share of the credit goes to you. I’m just grateful that you always have the courage to tell me the truth, even when I don’t want to hear it, and the patience, hoping that it’ll sink in. And it did. And I just — I love you so much, and I am just so happy that you are in my life.

Lily: Oh, I love you, too. I do. And, look, I know this is a huge step for you, and I know it’s huge for our relationship, but I’m not worried. I know you’re gonna land on your feet. I know you’ll find a new career path.

Billy: Yeah, speaking of that, I think I already have one.

Lily: You do?

Billy: Well, if the offer still stands, I would love to come and work with the savviest, smartest, coolest ceo I know.

Lily: Who is that? ‘Cause you happen to know a few sharp ceos.

Billy: I do, but there’s only one that I actually want to work with. I want to be there for you, to support you, to be your wingman, because this is your time and i want to be a part of it.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] Adam. This is for the best, right? I mean, thank god billy’s entire life isn’t just totally imploding right before our eyes. And now that you don’t have any dirt on billy to incite a war, there’s nothing that can come back to bite our company in the butt. Come on, adam, please say something. I mean, we have to look at the bright side of this, right?

Adam: I thought you said that you were done spying on billy.

Sally: [ Scoffs ] I don’t remember deciding that specifically because, based on our last conversation, I thought you were going for more plausible deniability.

Adam: Mm. Well, then this time, let me be clear. The spying is done. No more trying to score extra points with the boss. Go focus on the job that you are paid to do.

Ashland: I truly hope that you didn’t let billy’s words get to you. Your ex obviously has no clue what it takes to get ahead in the world. You can’t do it by backing down when things get tough.

Victoria: You know, I refuse to waste any more time thinking about billy.

Ashland: Alright. So tell me, how would you like to proceed?

Victoria: I still want to acquire newman media. We just have to figure out another way to get it.

Ashland: Well, I have no objection to that. In fact, I think I suggested that to you a little while ago. But we still have to contend with victor, as well as adam.

Victoria: I know, I am aware of that. But I actually have a way that i might possibly get my father on our side.

Amanda: Hey.

Devon: Hey. Didn’t expect you to be back so soon.

Amanda: Yeah, I forgot my laptop. I just came home between client meetings. Is everything okay?

Devon: Um…after I had a long talk with lily, I went to society and saw chance and dominic there.

Chance: Oh, dom, look out, it’s a lion!

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Devon: And I think I’m gonna need to book some time with you after your client meetings.

Chance: Oh, I’m trying.

Devon: ‘Cause I made up my mind that I want to pursue legal rights to be with my son.

Chance: Yes, we are.

Abby: [ Laughs ] Look at that little smile.

Chance: Look at that little smile.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

well, well, well. You have had an interesting life so far, haven’t you, bailey? Or should I call you louise? I wonder, if you could talk, if you’d tell me what brook lynn’s up to? What makes you think I’m up to something? Aren’t you? Oh! There — there you are. Well, at least one of you is here. Yeah, sorry I’m late. Not as sorry as I am. Just tell me the truth. Am I the only one that is so excited about taking deception public? No, lucy! I’m excited, too. I was just putting out a fire. W-what — what is more on fire than our ipo? Think about it. Think about the substantial amount of money we stand to make for the company and as shareholders, and not to mention the fact, the sense of accomplishment. Look at us. Three women. We had a dream. We brought it to fruition. It’s a reality. And now deception is our baby, and I, for one, I want to see our baby thrive. Wait, wait, wait, wait! Tracy knows that bailey is louise?! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She just knows that bailey isn’t mine. Sorry. H-hey, come here. That was a dumb word, “baby.” I shouldn’t have said

that word. How about — okay, what about this? Deception is a beautiful flower that is potentially worth millions and millions of dollars? No, lucy, you were right. Deception is our baby. And you would do anything to protect your baby. Mom, time to celebrate you becoming the editor of the new, improved invader. Yeah. Don’t tell me you’re having second thoughts. Of course I’m having second thoughts. Just because I edited the law review doesn’t make me a journalist. Okay, but there’s no one better than you that will know how to get the paper out of trouble. Which is why they have a legal department, which I can’t join because I’m not a lawyer. No, but you do know the ins and outs of the law, and shawn wants this paper to be able to fight for justice. And that makes you perfect for the job. What it makes me is terrified. And I like that.

[ Chuckles ] I’m so glad to see you, in person finally. Glad to see you, too, ma. I’ve been so worried about you, but I didn’t want to nudge you with a thousand messages. No, just 150 or so. It’s only because I care. I know you do. And losing my precious little grandson has been a knife in my heart. I-I cry every day for you and liam. And for sasha? Of course. Isn’t she joining us? Uh, she called to say she couldn’t make it. Are you sure? So…is it true? Did that judge in pennsylvania throw out those ridiculous charges? No more trial, no more smug look on carly’s face? That’s it? You’re free? I see you’ve heard. Yeah, I heard, but I heard from some gossip at the spa. Why didn’t you tell me right away?! Mm. Nina. Nina, I’m so — aww. I am so happy for you. I really, really am. And didn’t I tell you? I told you. I told you scotty’s a great lawyer. Mm-hmm, he’s certainly effective. Well, what kind of rabbit did he pull out of his hat this time? Oh, no, he didn’t pull out a rabbit. Just a witness that dropped a bomb on carly and sonny’s marriage. You can have that last cookie, too, if you want it. I’m saving it for daddy. Oh, that’s sweet. I bet you’re wondering why your daddy didn’t come downstairs for breakfast this morning, aren’t you? I don’t want you to worry. He’s not going away again. Not like last time. Then where is he? Have tony oversee the shipment. Yeah, I’m gonna have a sit-down with, uh, selina wu. When is that?

[ Knock on door ] Come in. It’s open. Yeah. Um, do me a favor. Have — have tony text me when it’s finished.

[ Door closes ] Okay? How’d you find me? I talked to michael. How you doing? Because last time I saw you… yeah, look, can we not? Let’s just forget about new year’s eve. How are we supposed to forget about new year’s eve? You’re here in your penthouse instead of at home with carly and your kids.

[ Doorbell rings ]

I am late for a meeting at deception, and I am bringing bailey with me. Take your daughter to work day? Actually, we have wonderful day care. You’re quite the role model, juggling work and motherhood. Maxie’s gonna be there, too, isn’t she? Your point? Felicia is concerned that, uh, maxie is getting overly attached to bailey, using her as a substitute for her lost daughter. Well, all due respect, felicia worries too much. I mean, if maxie being with bailey is helping her cope with her own loss, I don’t see the harm. Okay, come on, sweetie. Let’s go to mommy’s office. Very interesting seeing this side of you. I never, ever thought of you as the maternal type. Neither did I. People change. Yeah, maybe. Maybe they just get better at hiding it. I’m really glad that you changed your mind about joining us. How are you feeling? Can we order you something? No, thanks, gladys. Uh, brando, listen… hey, we haven’t really seen or talked to each other since we were together at liam’s funeral. Yeah, I’m sorry. I — I just needed to be by myself. No, I — I understand. I know you do. How are you? Or that’s a stupid question. It’s not a stupid question. I’m, uh… yeah. Well, I’m — I’m — I’m glad to see you out and about. I think it’ll be good for you. Even if it means sitting down with my mom.

[ Chuckles ] Gladys, uh, I’m sorry I didn’t return your text. I’ve been holed up in my apartment. No need to explain. It’s good to see you. Well, now that we’re all here, I’ll go grab us a table, huh? Actually, I — I can’t stay. It’s a big day for deception. We’re getting ready to launch our ipo. Oh, yeah. Deception’s going on the stock market. Is that about right? In a nutshell. Anyway, I — I really think the best thing for me is to get back to work. You know, I-I think lucy and maxie will understand. I know, but I-I can’t stare at my walls any longer, and then everywhere I go, I’m just reminded of everything I wanted to do with… with liam. Yeah, of course. I-I understand, yeah. And you told me you’re back at the garage, so I figured, why not get back to work myself? Uh, well, I’m — I’m glad that you stopped by. Me, too. Sasha. I love you. I love you, too. She’s okay. Mm-hmm. Here’s to lessons learned. And bravery. Hm. Alexis, sam. Ned. Hey. Hey, I, uh, called your house, and kristina said that I’d find you here. Would you like to join us? Yeah, for a few minutes, if you don’t mind. No, of course. Thanks. Hey, congratulations on your new job. I just got this job five minutes ago, and it’s news already? Welcome to journalism in the 21st century. Well, thank you for your good wishes. I can use them. But something tells me you didn’t track me down to celebrate my new career. No, I have some bad news. Luke died. What? Was he sick? No, no. He was killed in a terrible accident. You might have heard about it in the news. The cable car in austria? Yeah. Luke was in that? I’m afraid so. Where did you hear this? Well, my mother told me. Ava: Alright, well, go on. I want to hear every delicious detail. I don’t take joy from any of this. That’s okay. I do. That’s why I’m here.

[ Sighs ] So tell me, who was this witness, and what was the big bombshell? Thank you. Well, scott called willow tait to the stand and asked her to reveal what she knew about my relationship with sonny back in nixon falls. Oh. And as god as her witness, she could not tell a lie. Not tell a lie, no. So she told the truth — that she overheard a conversation that sonny and i were having about how we fell in love when he thought he was mike — and then sonny and carly’sminds just exploded. Oh, no, no, no, I can just picture it — sonny sitting there with his guilty conscience, and carly just wanting to watch you walk the plank. And me, without a front-row seat.

[ Scoffs ] Your daddy is away on business. For how long? I-I’m not sure, but I know that he’s not far and he’ll be back really soon. Hey. Hey. The guard let me in. I hope it’s okay. Of course. Hey, honey. How’s things? We were just talking about how avery wants to leave a cookie for her daddy. Oh. Hey, you know what? What’s going on here? What, not a hug for your aunt olivia? That’s what I like to hear. You know what? Um, can you go upstairs and check on donna and pilar?

[ Laughs ] Ah, she’s getting big so fast. She’s gonna come back in this room ready to go to the prom. Oh, gosh, don’t say that.

[ Laughs ] So, I’ve been trying to reach you all week. You probably noticed, especially this morning. Yeah, I’m sorry. You know, it’s, um, been nonstop since I got back from pennsylvania. I know nina skated. What I don’t know is why. Because she fell in love with my husband. And it turns out he felt the same way about her. So, all the times that you were with lulu, you never slept on the couch?

[ Laughs ] Come on. This ain’t the couch, man. Look, when I left you at charlie’s last night, you were three sheets to the wind. I took your keys, by the way. How’d you get here? Nina showed up after you left. Hmm. She wanted to drive me home, and I did what you asked, so I just told her to drop me off here. And did she, drop you off? If you’re wondering, uh, whether she stayed, the answer’s no. Did you want her to?

You’ve been in contact with tracy? Yeah, ’cause the last we heard, she ran from the pcpd and fell off the grid. I know what my mother did was unconscionable, but luke’s death has really hit her hard. Oh, really? Well, how’d she get ahold of you? Did she e-mail you or something? Because I know the last thing she would want is to be in front of…

[ Footsteps approach ] Oh! Ned, I need to talk to you. Sam, alexis. Oh, I am so sorry I’m late. I just had to — thank you, brook lynn, for joining us, finally. Thank you. Oh, yeah. I just need to talk to maxie for a sec. Uh, no, you can’T. Oh, but I am. No, no, you can’T. No. Lucy, just give us a minute to get whatever this is out of the way. We’re gonna be ahead of schedule in no time.

[ Exhales sharply ] What now? Tracy not only knows bailey isn’t mine, she suspects that bailey is louise. And you left the baby with her? No, I did not leave the baby with her. I brought her with me to day care. Ladies, come on. We have a lot of work to do. Just one second. Okay, um, we need to bluff this out, see if tracy is actually gonna pursue it. Okay, well, I don’t have a better plan, so… great. Okay, yay. Finally. We have so much to do. First order of business — we’ve gotta schedule a press conference to announce the actual date of the ipo, okay? And then we have to arrange for all of us to get to the stock exchange, ’cause one of the partners has to ring the opening bell. Now, since deception is my brainchild, I volunteer to do that very high-profile honor. Too bad it can’t be the face of deception. Brook lynn: Yeah, look, I-I know I’m only staff, but shouldn’t sasha, the face of the company, be the face of the company when we go public? Okay, fine. That’s very fair arguments. But, you know, sasha was supposed to only take maternity leave, and now it’s turned into bereavement leave, which means all of us have to stick together and pick up the slack. That’s sweet, lucy, but it won’t be necessary. I’m back, and I’m ready to give my all for deception. Well, don’t stop now. We’re getting to the best part. What happened after willow threw sonny under the bus? Well, the judge called sonny to the stand and asked him to confirm or deny willow’s testimony. And he tried to deny it, didn’t he? No, he didn’T. He actually talked about his feelings towards me when he thought he was mike, and he not only talked about me falling for him, but also him falling for me. Oh. So sonny told the truth? Yeah, he told the truth. And what did carly do? Oh, no, she left the hearing before the judge could dismiss the charges. C-carly walked out on sonny? And left him to you? Willow overheard sonny and nina talking about their past in nixon falls. But — but it’s no secret that nina kept you from knowing that sonny was still alive. We just know why now — because she’d fallen for your husband. And he had fallen for her. That’s — that’s according to her. Sonny didn’t deny it. Alright, so the guy fessed up to it. But he didn’t know who he was, and nina knew that, and she took advantage of him. I’m not saying that sonny’s not a dog. All men are dogs. And, for example, I give you my husband, ned. I happen to be a dog lover. What can I say?

[ Sighs ] But anyway, just because nina still has feelings for sonny doesn’t mean he has feelings for her. Yeah, I-I asked him that question. And? And he said he loves me. And? And I told him that wasn’t an answer. And then I told him not to come home. What? Do you blame me? Do you think I was wrong? No, I don’T. No, not at all. And I am not comparing the two situations in the slightest, but what did sonny say when you told him about your feelings for jason? A part of me… the mike part, wanted nina to stay. That was just the… the, you know — the hangover from the past. You know, the — my memories that were stirred up by the drinking… mm-hmm. …And thinking about the mistakes I made when I came home. It would have been very easy for me to just have her stay and think about nixon falls and how easy it was, or how easy I thought it was. Damn, you know, it’s like… carly’s the one that brought me back to myself. It’s — it’S… it’s who I want, my home. You know what I did before I conked out? I was hoping that when I woke up in the morning, nina would be forgotten. So I wake up, I open my eyes. Those feelings are still there. And you know what? I can’t get rid of them.

Sam, alexis, I need a word with my son. Mother, you need to get out of here before someone in here tips off the police. Actually, tracy, you have just done me an enormous favor, because I was just sitting here worried that I didn’t have the chops to be a journalist. And it turns out you, being the giver that you are, just gave me a brand-new headline. It’s all about privilege and the abuse of power. I’ve tried backing off, tried giving sasha time to grieve. Mm, yeah. It’s killing you, isn’t it? You don’t want to send even a single message, or, god knows, call her. Even the slightest gesture of concern feels like you’re hounding her, but every second you don’t reach out feels like neglect. Yeah, exactly. I mean, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Don’t sound so shocked. I understand because I’ve been doing the same thing with you. My instinct is to love-bomb you like crazy. Shocking, I know. I’ve been listening to this podcast about loss, and it says grief is like a daffodil. Daffodil? Yeah. You plant it in the wintertime and then wait for spring until it blossoms. Wait a minute. Is that the podcast about gardening? I don’t know. Wait, maybe it’s both. You get the idea. No, I’m not sure I do. I’m just giving you space until you’re ready to talk about it. Thank you, ma. I appreciate that. You’re welcome. Anything for my son. So, sweetheart, are you ready to talk about it? You shouldn’t be here. N-no. I think it’s way too soon, really. Yeah, you should be home taking care of yourself. Yes. Losing liam is the hardest thing I’ve ever known, but it would dishonor his memory if I just curled into a ball and stopped living. Okay. Well, in that case, I’ve been keeping a folder with all the information about the ipo for you. Thank you. Yeah. And, um… well, actually, publicity has asked me if, um, we could have any new photographs for the press release. I’m ready for anything. Sorry to interrupt. Ms. Quartermaine, you must still have bailey’s pacifier in your bag.

[ Baby coos ] Nina: I ha te to burstyour bubble, but sonny followed carly out of the hearing so they could talk things through. Mm, of course he did. And of course carly took him back, right? Damn, though. I wish you’d given me a heads up. Mm. I could have used what willow knew to extract some concessions on the child custody front. Ava jerome, if you’re gonna make this about you, when I did everything I could to honor sonny’s wishes, not come between him and carly, listen, you can go. I kn– I know. I’m sorry. Nina, I know it must have been very hard when sonny turned his back on you and returned to carly. And they lived happily ever after. Or did they? What do you mean, about jason and me? Uh, I was at the wedding. I saw you walking down the aisle. You looked very much to me like a woman in love. Okay, I told you before about bottling things up, right? I told you that.Yeah. I said it’s not healthy. Yeah, but jason and I were in extraordinary circumstances that we were thrown in. Honey, just go ahead and say that you fell in love with your best friend. Okay, I did. I did, alright? But when sonny came home, I put those feelings aside. You bottled them up. I bottled them up. Okay, yeah, I bottled them up. But the point is, olivia, I went back to the man I love. I chose sonny. I made a choice. Obviously, sonny can’t do the same. Dante: You know, I don’t like seeing you tear yourself apart like this. Well, you know, it’s like there’s two of me. There’s the father you know. And there’s this other guy you never met named mike carly never met, either. Nina met him. Yeah, well, anyway, nina — nina… he’s gone, doesn’t exist. It’s like — it’s like that place that it’s magic every hundred years, or, what, something like that. What do you mean? “Brigadoon”? Is that what it is?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I don’t know, but, man, we had to do that musical in elementary school. It was like, a magical town shows up every hundred years, yeah. Can’t see you in a musical. Oh, I was — I was pretty good. Oh, yeah? Yeah, thanks to sister mary joseph. Then what happens? Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy travels back in time, gets girl, walks off into the sunset as the curtain falls. That’s make-believe for you. Kind of like what you and nina went through, though, too, right? Except that’s over. Unless you’re telling me it’s still real.

Mother, you really shouldn’t be out and about. I’m not an invalid. No, but you are a fugitive. Oh, yes, and your mother is now a so-called journalist while the man I love is gone. I am very sorry to hear about luke. He and I had a very fulfilling, yet complicated, relationship. Yes, he — he told me. Then my mind would begin to wander. Having said that, there’s no such thing as bereavement leave when you’re on the lam, and your loss, as devastating as it may be, has nothing to do with you owning up to what you did. Do you want me to go to prison? I’m already in the house with monica, who, when she’s not telling me, “it’s my house, alan gave it to me,” she’s moaning about some russian. Belarusian. Whatever. Well, in any case, something is going on with your daughter, and I need to talk to you about it. So don’t talk to me about privilege. You escaped arrest by fleeing the country on a private jet! And you have become a so-called journalist by failing your way to the top. Or did you sleep your way this time? You know how lucky you are, bailey? Well, guess what? Your mommy and daddy are even luckier, because they have you. Because they will always have… I’m fine, I’m fine. I’m fine, really. Here you go. I’ll see you later, sweetheart. Okay? Um, w-well… about those publicity shots, you know? Right, right.

[ Chuckles ] Um, I called suzanne on my way over, my go-to makeup artist, and she should be here soon. If you’ll excuse me, I just — I’m just gonna go freshen up before we take those photos. If you’re gonna take everything that I’m saying and use it as ammunition to hurt sonny, then no, no. I don’t want you to gain any advantage involving avery’s custody thing. Oh, no, you know, I was just kidding around.

[ Sighs ] But, seriously, I… I just don’t want to see you end up holding the short straw. I’m not. In fact, last night, I was holding sonny up. I found him at charlie’s, all alone and overserved. What, he was smashed at charlie’s? Yeah. Really? So, is he a mad drunk, a sad drunk, or an amorous drunk? None of the above. He didn’t have his keys, ava, and he didn’t want me to drive him home. So I drove him to a penthouse at the harbor view towers, and I dropped him off. Oh. You didn’t go inside with him and be sure that he got into bed okay? I made sure that he was safe, had a little conversation, and I left. Damn. Nina. You really love that guy, don’t you? I wonder if you and sonnyare really all that different. You know, you’re both strong-willed. Look, you’re stubborn as hell, okay, and I sympathize, because ned and I both have a lot of that, too. We — we both have our pride, albeit in significantly smaller doses.

[ Chuckles ] But — but — but what we do have is leo, and — and doing what’s best for him right now is really what’s bringing us back together. Matter of fact, it makes me kind of guilty, uh, to talk about this… no….because everything that’s going on for you right now. Oh, no, no. If it’s good news, please, please tell me. I’d love to hear some good news. We decided that ned’s gonna officially adopt leo, and that we’re gonna renew our wedding vows. Oh, my gosh! Olivia, that’s wonderful.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I think so. Well, that’s really great, because I know you guys have some challenges ahead of you. Yeah. Honestly, the — the marriage part is worrying me even more than leo’s stuff with the — with the… I [Chuckles] I got to get used to saying it. Autism, autism. Yeah. Yeah. Leo’s a great kid. I know. And that’s not gonna change. No. And that’s a great way to look at it. Don’t waste time like ned and I did, okay? Um, marriages and families, they’re always gonna be a challenge. You know, most marriages end in divorce. And families with — with cousins cutting each other out of the picture books, don’t be those people. What would I do without you? You’re not gonna have to ever know, because I’m not going anywhere. And you and sonny, you’re destined for each other.

[ Laughs ] Okay? Till death do us part. Hell, the man even died, and he came back to you, right?

[ Both laugh ] The love that I have…

[ Exhales sharply ] …For carly and for my family is real. I don’t have to tell you. I know you know that. Of course. And when I was in nixon falls, I told carly that I used to have this vision. Every time I would dream, I would see this — this blond woman, and I’d try to touch her, and I couldn’t, and she wouldn’t come to me, and it happened quite a bit. And then when I came close to dying, it all rushed back to me. The blond woman was carly, and I knew that’s where I belonged — with her, with my family. And this whole thing with nina, the whole feelings and all, it doesn’t really — it doesn’t really matter. I believe you. How do I — how do i make carly believe me? Well, first, I think you gotta stop telling me all about it, and you gotta go and talk to carly about it.

okay, mother, I’m taking you home. Let’s go. Not until I have a word with you in private. Okay, fine. Excuse us. Are you okay? Are you kidding? I’m great. Mixing it up with her is invigorating. Well, as amazing as that all was, tracy needs to pay for what she did to you. I admire the way sasha’s able to cope. Well, you’re sweet to admire her for how well she’s handling this. But trust me when I say this — a woman can’t carry a child for nine months, lose it, and then turn the page overnight. You can’t wallpaper over a hurt like this, no matter how hard you try. Guys, think someone should go check on sasha? Look, I know my experience with louise is different, but I think sasha might just need some time alone to pull herself together. Yeah. Well, you never, ever really get over a loss like that. I don’t know. Maybe this is really too soon. Maybe she’s pushing too hard to go on with things. You know, maybe…

[ Sighs ] Okay, well, if she is, we’ll be there for her. Right. And in the meantime, we just have to hope that sasha knows what’s best for sasha.

[ Sighs, grunts ] Get it together, gilmore. Your friends and your partners are counting on you. You cannot let them down.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Groans ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Exhales sharply ] I never denied my feelings about mike or what I may still feel about sonny. But what you’re not saying is — what, ava? You’re dying to say it. Just get it out of your system. Okay. Well, you’re very clear about how you feel about sonny. But what you’re still not able, or willing, to face is how sonny feels about you. I know it’s really hard for him to forget about everything we went through when we were together in nixon falls. But we’re back in reality. We’re back here. No, no, no, no, no, no. No, you still don’t get it. No. You think that sonny is caught between the past and the present, but that’s not what this is about, nina. Not at all. No, sonny’s caught between carly and you. I know that sonny came back from nixon falls, but mike came with him. Nina is the one that won’t let sonny go, but don’t worry. She is gonna get what’s coming to her. Oh. You promise? Yeah, I promise. They don’t call it karma for nothing. But — but we’re talking about what you want here. You. After everything you know about what went down in nixon falls, and knowing what you know about how you felt about jason, be honest. Hon, can you really expect sonny to be there totally and completely for you if — if you can’t ask yourself if you’re totally and completely there for him? I’m not sure carly wants to see me right now, you know, the way we left things. Well, yeah, come on. She was hurt, and she was angry. And you couldn’t make it better, so you…tried to drink yourself numb. You took a time out, and none of that worked. So now you gotta go back there, and you gotta talk to her, and it’s gonna hurt, but that’s — that’s the way it is.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Oh, it’s, uh, sam. Go ahead. Alright, sorry. Yeah. No, no, go.

[ Ringing continues ] Hey, what’s up? Hey. How soon can you make it to the metro court? Well, it’s too late for lunch and too early for dinner. What are you talking, business or pleasure? Is it not too late to make an arrest?

Well, what do you say we grab a table? Hmm? I’ll, uh, settle the tab here, and we’ll head over. Oh, you don’t have to do that. Unless you insist. Liam.

[ Exhales sharply ] Do you know how proud of you I am? For what? Well, you admire sasha for being strong and getting on with her life. Well, brando corbin, I think you are just as strong, if not stronger, for letting yourself hurt. Sorry to keep you waiting. Wow. You look — wow. Of course she does. She’s the face of deception. Yes, she is. You look awesome. And, listen, I thought while we were waiting for the photographer and your makeup artist, we could go over a few things that you’re gonna say at the press conference, if you don’t mind. Mm-hmm. Now, I made… okay, so what exactly did tracy do that made you think she suspects bailey is really louise? It’s more about what she didn’t do or say. That crocodile smile, like she knows that I know that she knows. Okay, can we trust her? She’s a liar and a schemer. Tracy would exploit us in a way that would benefit her own agenda. We need to come up with a plan before tracy blows it and peter finds out we’ve been hiding his daughter in plain sight. Keep me posted on any new developments. Are you done? That was about elq. Normally, you’d say there’s nothing more important. Well, this time, there is. Namely, your daughter. Oh, what has brook lynn done now? Or, rather, what are you accusing her of having done? It could go either way. It’s about that baby of hers. Bailey? What about her? Bailey? What kind of name is bailey? But, wait, while we’re on the subject — tracy quartermaine. Dante. Uh, just a minute. This is important. This is important. While we are on the subject of names — you’re under arrest.

[ Handcuffs click ] What? Sonny loves carly, end of story. Hmm. Maybe this story has a sequel. Stay tuned. Oh, and, nina… sonny may love his wife, but he still has feelings for you. He can’t shake them. Deep down, you know it’s true.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Ugh, my mom. She keeps calling me. I wonder what that’s about. Um…you should probably call her and find out. I will, but first, I want to hear your news. You said when you got here you had something to tell me. Was it the whole leo and ned thing? No, no. I-I think this may be your mom’s news to tell. Um, but let’s talk after, okay? Okay. And about all the other stuff that we talked about — so, um, sonny told you how he feels about nina, and you told him how you felt about jason on your wedding day. But have you told sonny how you feel about him still?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Chad: Now the best thing that you can do for lucas is to pretend that we never had this conversation.

Kate: I don’t think I can do that. I’m not sure I can keep quiet about this.

Ej: Keep quiet about what? I’d be very interested to know.

Chad: Ej, what’re you doing here? You don’t work here anymore.

Ej: I’ll answer your questi when you answer mine. Hm. My brother seems very anxious for you to keep something to yourself. I expect you to tell me what that something is.

Xander: And that’s all I know so far about the day sarah left salem.

Abigail: All right. Well, you’ve given me a lot to think about. Thank you. I’m gonna go ahead and walk you out.

Xander: Hang on. I–I want to help you find her, abigail.

Abigail: I appreciate that. You’re definitely one of my sources.

Xander: No, I want to be more than a source. I want to do what ever I can to bring sarah home.

Abigail: [Sighs] Um, I just don’t think it’s a very good idea given the circumstances.

Xander: Oh, if you’re talking about me and your dad, it’s fine. We’re pals again.

Abigail: I’m not talking about you and my dad. I’m talking about you and my sister.

Jack: Do you understand what I’m saying, gwen? Even if xander does track sarah down, she’s made it clear she has no further interest in him.

Gwen: You’re right. Yes, you’re right. Thank you for reminding me of that. Anyway, I should go now.

Jennifer: Gwen, before you go, there’s something that I would like to say to you. It’s very important.

Paulina: Oh, hello.

Chanel: Oh, please tell me that is not for me.

Paulina: I can’t give my little girl a wedding present?

Chanel: Mama, we are gonna need a storage bin for all the presents you’ve already given us.

Paulina: Well, I’m not that bad.

Chanel: 37, mama. I wrote ’em all down.

Paulina: Well, you can’t count china service for 12 as 12 presents.

Chanel: What is this, number 13?

Paulina: No, miss smarty pants. This is a soup tureen.

Chanel: Okay.

Paulina: [Chuckles]

Chanel: It’s so sweet of you to give us all these gifts, but you’re going to too much trouble. Johnny and I are just glad to have your support.

Paulina: Oh, I’m going to give you more than support.

Chanel: What are you talking about?

Paulina: I’m talking about a good old-fashioned wedding bash.

John: All right, dishes are done. Can I get you a refill on that tea?

Marlena: No, honey. It’s cooled down just fine. Thanks.

John: Sure?

Marlena: Yeah.

John: Okay. Comfortable? Maybe an afghan here? How ’bout another pillow, hm?

Marlena: John, I appreciate all you’re doing for me. Really, I do. But I’m–I’m just fine. I’m fine.

[Knock at door]

John: I got it.

Marlena: No, you know what–

John: Doc, come on.

Marlena: I’ll get it. Look, this nightmare is behind us now. The devil is not coming back. I promise you we’re done with all that. I’ll get the door.

John: Hey.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Gwen: What is it that you want to say?

Jennifer: I just want to say I’m so glad that you and jack worked things out. He loves all three of his children so much, and I know how much it means to him to have you in his life.

Gwen: Means a lot to me, too.

Jennifer: I’m sure it does. And listen, I know that it might not be easy, but I was just hoping that maybe you could stay on good terms with abigail.

Gwen: All I can say is that I will try.

Jennifer: I mean, maybe it would be easier if you and I got to know one another. I–I have been gone so long settling my mother’s estate. We never really got to work through what my mother did to you all those years ago. What happened in your room the day she died?

Gwen: Yeah, okay. I get it. All this “getting to know you” business was just setting me up.

Jennifer: Wh–what? I don’t know what you mean.

Gwen: You want to know if I killed your mom.

Ej: Chad, perhaps you’d be good enough to enlighten me. I’m not counting on it, though, since you were the one telling kate to remain silent. Seems you’re going to have to spill the proverbial beans.

Kate: All right. I’ll tell you. It’s about lucas.

Marlena: Johnny, how good to see you.

Johnny: It’s good to see you too.

Marlena: Come in here.

Johnny: Hey, grandpa john.

John: Hey, kid.

Marlena: And to what do we owe the pleasure?

Johnny: Of me being here? I–I had to see how you were doing.

John: See? It’s not just me. Everyone wants to make sure that you’re all right.

Marlena: Thank you. I understand. But if you start waiting on me hand and foot, you’re out of here.

Johnny: Okay, no problem. No problem.

Marlena: You know, I don’t think I’ve seen you since christmas.

Johnny: Yeah. And that wasn’t exactly a fun day.

John: That’s a fact. But it’s a new year, so that horrible ordeal is behind us now.

[Eerie music]

Marlena: Johnny? Is something wrong? (Man 1 vo) I’m living with cll

Xander: Look, I can understand why you don’t like the idea of me and gwen being together.

Abigail: I don’t give a damn about that. What you do in your personal life, none of my business.

Xander: And yet you say that me helping you find sarah is a bad idea. What aren’t you telling me, abigail?

Abigail: [Sighs] Look, I just came from my parents’ house. Gwen was there, and I happened to mention that I was going to be looking into sarah’s disappearance. She accused me of trying to create trouble between the two of you regardless of me trying to convince her that I was actually concerned whether or not my cousin was alive and well. So for whatever reason, she didn’t believe me.

Xander: [Sighs]

Jack: Gwen, jennifer’s not accusing you of doing anything to cause laura’s death.

Gwen: The police questioned me that day. I told them everything that happened.

Jennifer: Yes, but you never told me. I didn’t mean to put you on the defensive. That was not my intention. I just want to hear what you told the police.

Gwen: All right. The truth is that I was in quite a state. When I discovered that your mother had paid off my mother to disappear, that decision completely changed the course of my life. So I was quite displeased when laura showed up at my door. And the truth is, yes, we did argue quite a bit, but laura getting hurt, getting killed… that was an accident. I swear, jennifer, it was an accident. I never intended any harm upon your mother, and I only hope that you can believe me.

Marlena: What just happened? Are you all right?

Johnny: Um, yeah. Yeah, I’m fine, grandma. I’ve just been a little off since I got back from italy. Probably just jet lag.

Marlena: Well, but recovering shouldn’t take that long.

John: You made that trip with your girlfriend, right?

Johnny: I did, yeah. But chanel is not my girlfriend anymore.

John: What?

Johnny: She’s my wife.

John: What?

Marlena: Oh! You’re kidding.

Johnny: No. Yeah, no. We got married while we were in italy.

John: Kid, kind of sudden, isn’t it?

Johnny: You know what? Chanel and I, we really love each other. And yeah, we could’ve waited ’til we got back here, but seemed a lot more romantic to tie the knot in italy, you know?

Marlena: And to the groom, we say congratulations.

Johnny: Thank you, grandma.

John: Well, you know, allie just keeps telling us what a fantastic person chanel is.

Johnny: That’s true.

John: Yeah.

Johnny: I am very lucky to have found her.

[Laughter]

Marlena: I’m so happy for you.

Johnny: Thank you.

Marlena: Oh, my goodness. And I wish you both a lifetime of happiness.

Johnny: I’m sure that we’ll have one. Thank you, guys, for being so great about this.

John: Yeah. I mean, why wouldn’t we be?

Johnny: I don’t know. My parents didn’t exactly have the same reaction, so–

Chanel: You don’t have to throw johnny and me a party.

Paulina: If you think that I’m gonna miss a chance to celebrate my little girl’s marriage, oh, you don’t know me very well.

Chanel: But you’ve already been so generous.

Paulina: Well, I wasn’t at the wedding. Please? Please, let me give the reception?

Chanel: Oh, okay.

Paulina: Oh! We can do it tonight.

Chanel: Tonight?

Paulina: Mm-hmm. No time like the present. Ooh, I think I’ll call johnny’s mother. Oh, maybe she’d like to get in on this.

Chanel: You can’t call sammy.

Paulina: Why not?

Chanel: She left town with allie’s dad.

Paulina: Get out. Ooh. Mm. I still don’t understand your hubby’s family tree.

Chanel: It’s complicated.

Paulina: Well, then I’ll call johnny’s dad.

Chanel: Oh. No, please don’T. He’s got a lot on his plate already.

Paulina: What? What could be more important than celebrating his son’s marriage to a beautiful, charming young woman?

Chanel: Actually he’s facing kidnapping charges.

Ej: This is about lucas?

Kate: Yes, it is. And you’re not going to like it.

Ej: I already know.

Kate: You what?

Chad: What? How?

Ej: From nicole.

Kate: Nicole knows?

Ej: Mm-hmm. Allie told her that lucas and samantha left town together.

Kate: Well, there you go. Chad was just trying to delay the inevitable.

Ej: You thought I’d find this news upsetting?

Chad: Yeah. Am I wrong?

Ej: No. I was not amused to find out that my wife skipped town with an ex-husband. What perplexes me, though, is why you didn’t want me to find out. And don’t tell me that you’re trying to spare my feelings. It’s my 4:05 the-show-must-go-on

Xander: You’re not the one that gwen’s upset with.

Abigail: I sure felt like I was.

Xander: Nah, it’s me. She’s not happy that I’m trying to figure out what happened to sarah, even though I keep telling her that it’s over between me and sarah.

Abigail: And she’s not buying it?

Xander: I told her the same thing you did, but I just want to know sarah’s all right, you know, for maggie’s sake.

Abigail: For maggie. Really?

Xander: Yeah, really. Maggie already lost one daughter this last year. I’d hate to see her go through that again. That’s the only reason I’m looking for sarah.

Abigail: You sure?

Xander: I’m with gwen now, and I’m gonna make her see it.

Abigail: Okay. Well, you’ve got your work cut out for you.

Xander: Well, that’s my problem. Are you gonna let me help you?

Abigail: I suppose I could use someone doing the leg work. I do have a daily paper to get out.

Xander: How do we start?

Abigail: I want to know how she left. I want to know where she went. I mean, apparently maggie said her car is still parked in the kiriakis garage.

Xander: Well, she did have frequent-flyer miles with three different airlines that fly out of the salem airport.

Abigail: How do you know?

Xander: We were planning a honeymoon.

Abigail: Right. Well, we could look at her trip history if we had her username and passwords.

Xander: We do. Right here.

Gwen: Your silence speaks volumes.

Jennifer: No, gwen, please. Please. Please, don’t go. I–I just–I needed just a minute. It’s hard to hear about the end of my mother’s life.

Gwen: Of course.

Jennifer: But I do believe you.

Gwen: Really?

Jennifer: Yeah.

Gwen: Thank you. Thank you.

Jennifer: You don’t have to thank me.

Gwen: Regardless of how i felt about laura, you loved her, and I know that that must have been a hideous way to lose her.

Jennifer: I did love her. I know she wasn’t a perfect person. My mother really struggled with mental illness when I was young, and… there’s something else. Our marriage was really on shaky ground when your mother showed up, and that was really upsetting for my mother. So she told me that she lied to your mother because she wanted jack and i to be happy. But you are not to blame for that. That is no excuse for the way that she treated you, and I am so, so sorry for that.

Chad: I had a very good reason to keep you from finding out about sammy and lucas.

Ej: Really? I’d think you’d be reveling in my unhappiness.

Chad: Personally, sure. I’ll always do what’s best for the company. I mean, the last time sammy cheated on you with lucas, you kidnapped her, so god knows what you’re gonna do next.

Ej: [Chuckles] The problem with your reasoning is that I did not have samantha kidnapped.

Chad: That’s your story and you’re sticking to it?

Ej: I swear to you. I did not do it. And I’m sorry to inform you that the person who did is lucas.

Kate: Lucas? Where the hell is that coming from?

Ej: I don’t have any proof yet.

Chad: Surprise, surprise.

Ej: But I know lucas kidnapped samantha and framed me for it, and now chad is taking advantage of that so he can remain in charge of the company. I advise you to think about something. I gave you your job here. How long do you think it will be before he sacks everyone I hired? If I were you, I wouldn’t let him get away with that.

Marlena: So you had a chance to tell your mom about the elopement?

Johnny: Before she left with lucas? Yeah.

John: And I take it that she wasn’t real happy about that.

Johnny: I hope she and lucas stay gone long enough for her to cool off. Still got to deal with dad, but–

Marlena: So he didn’t congratulate you and welcome your wife into the family?

Johnny: No way. But I mean after what he did to my mom, I could care less what he thinks.

Marlena: You think he kidnapped sammy?

Johnny: You don’t?

Marlena: Well, I would say it looks bad.

Johnny: It looks that way because he did it.

John: Johnny, you know that he’s gonna go to prison if he’s found guilty.

Johnny: Good. Chanel and i don’t have to face him across the breakfast table. I don’t want anything to do with him or his money, and I’m giving back everything he sunk into the movie so he’s got nothing to do with that either.

John: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up a second. You’re not still thinking about making that movie, are you?

[Eerie music]

Xander: Nothing.

Abigail: So sarah did not fly from the salem airport.

Xander: Nah, all we really know is that she didn’t use frequent-flyer miles to purchase the ticket.

Abigail: Okay, so she might have still flown from here, or–or she could’ve taken an airport bus out to o’hare.

Xander: Or a train anywhere.

Abigail: But if she paid cash for her ticket, then there’s no way we’re gonna be able to track her.

Xander: There must be a way. She left home. She didn’t use her car.

Abigail: She might have rented one. They would have a record.

Xander: Your family owns a newspaper. Can’t you just get all the passenger lists for that day?

Abigail: Well, I would have to convince them that the public had a right to that information, and I don’t really think I’ll be able to make a case for that.

Xander: Well, maggie has a right, doesn’t she?

Abigail: Okay, um, let’s look at this another way. So the night before the wedding, the night that you left sarah, was there anything off about her at all? Just–just really think hard.

Xander: I mean, she was as happy as I was. Honestly, I just wish that i hadn’t let her talk me into sleeping at the inn that night.

Abigail: Did she just want to keep things traditional?

Xander: No, it was more that, you know, she was just superstitious, didn’t want to tempt fate. She even shooed me out before chloe could deliver the wedding dress. Didn’t want me to see that.

Abigail: Hm. And you’re sure she was telling you the truth about why she wanted to get rid of you?

Xander: I’m sure. And then the next morning she’s just–it was like she was another person.

Abigail: I am at a loss here. Ugh. Well, there is– there’s another way I could track her.

Xander: What? Tell me.

Abigail: I mean, if she happened to charter a private plane, but that just doesn’t sound like sarah.

Xander: No, I agree, but like I say, she was another person that day.

Jennifer: When your mom came here, I was in the kitchen giving abigail supper, and I wonder what would have happened if I would have answered the door instead of my mom.

Gwen: Do you think you would’ve done something differently? You would have invited jack’s bastard child into your home?

Jennifer: I can’t say for sure, but I would really like to believe that I would’ve thought about it rationally and realized that no matter how I thought about jack’s behavior, that you are not to blame in any of this, and I would like to think that we would’ve talked about it and made you a part of our lives, gwen.

Gwen: Well, it’s pretty to think so anyway.

Jennifer: But what I couldn’t do then, I can do right now. And I want you to know when we come back, you are always welcome in this house.

Gwen: Thank you.

Jack: My wife is not in the habit of saying things she doesn’t mean, so we’re gonna be in touch when we get to boston. And if you need anything–

Jennifer: Yes, anything, please let us know. Anything.

Gwen: Yeah, I’ll try. I should go. Um, thank you. Thank you for what you said.

Jack: Bye, sweetheart.

Gwen: Bye, dad.

[Both sniffling]

Ej: You must have some loyalty to me. I ousted jake from this company after he broke your heart.

Kate: You ousted him by one vote. Mine.

Ej: And I rewarded you with a position that allowed you to demonstrate your worth to the company. If you can prove that lucas framed me, I can convince shin to put me back in charge, and your position here will be much more secure than it is at the moment.

Chad: That’s not true. Kate and I, we go way back, don’t we? As long as I’m here, she’ll have a job here.

Kate: Sorry, ej, but I know my son. I know lucas isn’t capable of kidnapping the mother of his children and keeping her imprisoned for months. Chad has no reason to do it, so that just leaves one person who is capable of doing that, and that would be you.

Paulina: Oh. I saw the headlines about ej getting arrested, but I figured it was white collar crime or something.

Chanel: More like dimera payback.

Paulina: Well, what do you think about that, mrs. Dimera?

Chanel: Well, my in-laws aren’t the only dysfunctional family in salem.

Paulina: I’m gonna ignore that remark.

Chanel: I figured you would.

Paulina: [Sighs] Well, both families need to host this party. Now, ej, he’s out on bail, right?

Chanel: Are you forgetting that he didn’t exactly welcome me into his family with open arms?

Paulina: Don’t you worry about that.

Chanel: Oh, yeah. Right.

Paulina: No, I mean it. I’ll get him straight.

Chanel: What did you say?

Paulina: It’s plain to see how johnny feels about you, and ej had better get on board if he doesn’t want to lose his son.

John: Johnny, I just asked you a question. Are you still planning on making that movie?

Johnny: Uh, no. No. There’s no way I would make it now. No.

Marlena: How far had you gone with it?

Johnny: It’s just in the planning stages. Although I did have a deal with a studio to distribute it, but I’ll just tell them I’m shelving the project.

Marlena: I see.

Johnny: Grandma, come on. I told you that I would not make that movie without your blessing, and when you gave it to me, you weren’t exactly you.

Marlena: Yeah. I just hate to see you have to give up on your dreams.

Johnny: Ah, I’ll just find another story to tell. Look, I want you both to know right now, the demonic possession story is officially dead and buried. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Abigail: So if sarah did charter a private plane, it’s going to make her harder to find. Of course, you know, maybe that’s what she wanted.

Xander: Yeah, seems to be. I mean, she did lie to maggie about where she was for a year.

Abigail: Right.

Xander: You know… that airfield where uncle vic keeps the company jet, there’s a bunch of private hangars there. I wonder if the kiriakis pilots know what’s going on with them.

Abigail: Hmm. Dimera uses the same airfield. I could interview both crews.

Xander: You know, some of those other outfits are dodgy.

Abigail: Dodgy how?

Xander: Well, you know, for the right price, some of those pilots will take you wherever you want to go no questions asked.

Abigail: How do you know that?

Xander: Don’t ask.

Abigail: Oh, god. God, I hope sarah did not get mixed up with one of them.

Xander: Yeah, me too. Look, while you talk to the dimera and titan crews, I’ll have a go with the other lot.

Abigail: Okay. Well, I’m gonna head to dimera then, and I’ll talk to the travel department and see what information I can get.

Xander: I’ll get started with the other guys.

Abigail: Great. Okay. Are we done here?

Xander: [Sighs] I just want to say one thing. I know I’m not your favorite person, and you’re only doing this to help maggie and sarah, not me, but I still want to thank you.

Abigail: You don’t have to thank me. All you have to do is help me find sarah.

Jennifer: How’s gwen?

Jack: Stirred up. So am I.

Jennifer: I think it was really good, though, that we cleared the air before we leave.

Jack: You deserve to hear her version of what happened with laura, and you were–you were incredibly decent about it.

Jennifer: The coroner said my mom’s death was an accident, and gwen said the same thing.

Jack: But?

Jennifer: Only my mother and gwen know the absolute truth, and I just have to trust that gwen isn’t hiding something from me.

Jack: It’s getting late. We have one more stop to make.

Jennifer: Yeah. I’m dreading it already, jack.

Paulina: Don’t worry, baby. By the time I’m through with ej dimera, oh, he’ll be as excited about this reception as I am. Now go on. Fix yourself up. Put on your prettiest dress. Oh, you’re going to a party.

Chanel: Look, I know you want it all to work out, but I know ej better than you do. And you may think you got him in line, but he hates the idea of johnny and I being married, and he’s used to getting his way.

Paulina: So am I. And I’ve tangled with the devil. Ugh. And compared to him, ej dimera, he’s a pussycat. How about I give you a ride home?

Chanel: Johnny’s picking me up.

Paulina: Well, text him back you’re coming with me. I’m itching to talk to ej face to face.

Ej: I’m disappointed in you, kate. I don’t know if you’re being mercenary or just stupid. Don’t think for one second I’ll forget this betrayal anytime soon.

Chad: That sounds like a threat.

Ej: How does the saying go? “It’s not a threat. It’s a promise.”

Chad: What’re you doing here? I–I really don’t want to have to call security on you.

Ej: I have the right to remove my personal possessions.

Chad: They’ve been boxed up. They’re waiting for you at the front desk. Oh, wait, except for… this.

Ej: Enjoy that desk while you can, little brother. I’ll be back behind it before you know it.

[Dramatic music]

[ Coughing and sneezing ]

Kate: Well, that could’ve been worse.

Chad: Yeah. You’re telling me. I started freaking out when you started talking about lucas. I thought you were gonna tell him the truth for a minute.

Kate: Yeah, well, I considered it, and then I thought about what ej would do if he found out that you and lucas conspired to frame him.

Chad: You did the right thing.

Kate: I don’t know about that. But I do know one thing.

Chad: What’s that?

Kate: Somewhere out there in the universe, stefano dimera is looking down at you and saying, “that’s my boy.”

[Tense music]

Jack: Well, that was something. Doug’s heart was breaking. He was trying to keep me from seeing that.

Jennifer: Yeah. Even julie held it together as opposed to myself.

Jack: This has been a hell of a day for you.

Jennifer: I just lost track of how much I love this town, jack, and every single person in it.

Jack: Well, come on. This isn’t forever. We’ll get that paper up and running, and we’ll come right back. And boston’s just a three-hour flight away.

Jennifer: Oh, I know. I know. Just– this is my home. And no matter how many times I’ve done it, it is always so hard to say goodbye.

Marlena: I know I’m lucky to have such an understanding grandson.

Johnny: Hey, I’ve got you. I’m the one who’s lucky. And I’m really glad you’re feeling better.

[Phone chimes] Oh. Oh, sorry, I’ve got to run. The wife’s on her way home, so–

John: How does it feel to call chanel your wife?

Johnny: I’m still getting used to it, but I like it.

Marlena: With any luck, you’ll be saying that they rest of your life.

Johnny: Thank you for being happy for me.

Marlena: We are. Mm, darling. Now, if you don’t start feeling better, I want you to promise me you will see a doctor.

Johnny: Grandma, relax. Look, like I said, I’m just a little tired. That’s all.

John: Get some rest, kid.

Johnny: I will.

John: Yeah. Wife.

Johnny: Love you, guys.

John: Love you.

Trelegy for copd.

Xander: Oh, hey.

Gwen: Hi.

Xander: You went out?

Gwen: Um, yeah. I just popped around to jack’s house. He–he wanted to straighten things out before he left town.

Xander: Hm. Did you? Well, I bumped into jack and jennifer at steve’s house, put in a good word.

Gwen: I’m sure that’s what did it, then. So is steve going to look for sarah?

Xander: He can’T. He already took on another big case.

Gwen: Oh. I’m sorry. What’re you gonna do now, then?

Xander: Well, turns out there is another person who wants to find sarah just as much as I do.

Gwen: Let me guess. Would that be my adorable little sister?

Abigail: Hi, this is abigail dimera. I’d like you to pull all of the contact information for the company’s pilots, and I have a question. I– if they decide they’re going to fly for somebody outside of the company, they have to get that cleared, right? Okay. Okay, good. All right. Well, I’ll be down there in a while to pick up whatever you have. Thank you.

[Chuckles]

Chad: Come in.

[Gasps] What a nice surprise.

Abigail: I thought I would drop by and see how your first day without ej was going.

Chad: Well, it wasn’t without ej. He showed up to get his stuff.

Abigail: Oh, how’s that?

Chad: Frosty.

Abigail: [Chuckles]

Chad: But it’s over now.

Abigail: Are you sure you’re not gonna miss having someone share the workload?

Chad: Well, as it turns out, I think I’m gonna be able to count on kate.

Abigail: Hm.

Kate: Oh, no. Who died?

Jack: No one.

Jennifer: Jack and i are heading to the airport to run a local newspaper in boston.

Kate: Well, that’s very–that’s very exciting. Too bad I didn’t get here earlier. We could’ve gotten– I don’t know. All caught up over coffee.

Jennifer: Sorry I missed that.

Kate: [Sighs] Are you still angry over the sad, little fling that jack and I had?

Jack: Kate–

Jennifer: No. Jack, don’T. How could I be angry over something so insignificant?

Kate: Have a nice flight.

Jack: [Sighs] Touché.

Jennifer: Couldn’t help myself.

Ej: Chad got to kate, father. I’m sure of it. They’re all conspiring against me. It seems I have no other choice but to take them all down.

Paulina: Am I interrupting?

Ej: No. No, not at all. Lovely to see you again. I was just talking to my father.

Paulina: Looks like he’s giving you the silent treatment. Sorry to cut your conversation short with your daddy, but you and I have work to do.

Ej: On what exactly?

Paulina: We’re throwing a wedding reception.

Ej: Are we?

Paulina: Mm-hmm. Johnny and chanel. They never had one.

Ej: Ah, I see. And do you have a particular venue in mind?

Paulina: Yes. This is a family affair, so we’re going to have it right here.

Demon johnny: Stop fighting me, johnny. You and I have so much to do together. Give in to me, and I will make you a star. That’s what you want, isn’t it?

[Chuckles] This is gonna be so much fun!

Chanel: Johnny?

John: Last one. I promise, last one.

Marlena: No, that’s okay. It’s all right. That one got cold while johnny was here.

John: Nice of the kid to stop by, wasn’t it?

Marlena: Mm-hmm. That kid is a married man.

John: That bothers you?

Marlena: No, no. It’s just–I don’t know. He just didn’t seem quite like himself today.

Chanel: Johnny? Are you okay?

Johnny: Fine.

Chanel: I hope you mean it because my mom has decided to throw us a wedding reception. Tonight. And I know you haven’t been feeling great, so–

Johnny: Actually, I’m feeling much better.

Chanel: You are?

Johnny: Definitely. And I think that a party in our honor sounds like all the fun in the world.

Brooke: Something happened on new year’s eve.

Ridge: Tell me.

Brooke: I was drinking last night. Oh my god. We kissed.

Deacon: We did.

Brooke: Oh, I’m sorry, ridge. I feel so guilty.

Ridge: Talk to me.

Brooke: Oh, I don’t even know how it happened. I’m– I’m very ashamed. And when you find out what happened, you’re gonna be upset, too. But I have to tell you what I did.

Taylor: Okay, that sounds great. I think so, I might have a seminar booked for that time, but I will have my assistant–

Sheila: Alcohol free or the real stuff? Brooke is never gonna know the difference. I predict you’re going to have a very festive new year’S.

Taylor: Sheila?

Sheila: Yes.

Taylor: Where were you just now?

Sheila: Oh. I was just feeling hopeful for the new year for all of us.

Taylor: Well, that’s a– that’s a good place to be. Well, if there is nothing else, I… kind of need to get back to work.

Sheila: Yeah, of course. I do… want to thank you just one more time, taylor. I am– I’m dedicated to working on myself, really. I want to get help for whatever it is that I need to do so that I can be more involved in finn’s life.

Finn: I missed our morning kiss.

Steffy: So you drove all the way over here to make it up to me?

Finn: Those lips are worth every minute of travel.

Hope: Oh, sorry.

Steffy: Oh, hey. Hope, come on in.

Hope: Hi, I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Finn: No, you’re not. I’m– I’m the one keeping steffy from doing any work but, uh, happy new year, by the way.

Hope: Oh, you too. I hope you had a fun new year’s eve.

Steffy: We did. How about you?

Hope: Oh, it was– it was nice. It was an early evening.

Steffy: I know my dad couldn’t make it to celebrate with brooke.

Sheila: I’ve destroyed every opportunity that I’ve ever had with my other children, and I don’t want to loose finn too.

Taylor: You seem really determined to turn your life around.

Sheila: That’s because I am and that is the truth. Taylor… I mean, whatever I have to do to be a part of finn’s family, and I really feel that, with your help, I can actually show people that I am not that person any longer.

Taylor: With my help. Oh, sheila, I– I won’t take you on as a patient. There’s too much history between us.

Sheila: Of course, of course. Before I forget though, uh… I made this for hayes, and I was just… hoping that you could get that to him for me, right?

Taylor: Of course.

Sheila: I am so determined to be a good mother to finn and a loving grandmother to hayes.

Steffy: I can tell by your reaction, brooke was pretty bummed.

Hope: Oh, she– she’s fine, she was just looking forward to spending the evening with her husband.

Steffy: Yeah, but my dad had an important business trip. I’m sure brooke could understand that.

Hope: She gets it, she’s not upset with ridge at all.

Finn: Everything okay? You seem a little stressed.

Steffy: Yeah, did something happen on new year’s eve we’re not aware of?

Brooke: I don’t know what came over me.

Ridge: Logan… you’re my wife, we’re in this together.

Brooke: I was doing so well. I was so in control for so many years. And you were being so supportive. And now I need to– I need to face it, ridge. I slipped up. I relapsed, I drank on new year’s eve. Our strength, our power, our purpose…

Taylor: I want to see you make real improvements, sheila. You have A… a long way to go to… prove yourself. Whether you put in the work or not is entirely up to you. I want the– that is what I want though. I don’t like who I was and I want to transform myself. I do, I want to… I want to earn your trust and heal… old wounds. I am dedicated to becoming a kinder, more stable person.

Taylor: I hope you mean that, for everyone’s sake. Now, I am going to continue to be extremely cautious. Is there a chance that maybe in the future you will get to spend more time with finn and hayes? Possibly. But not now. Not yet. I may have opened the door for you just a little bit on christmas eve so that you could spend time with finn and hayes. But steffy and her husband have set very clear boundaries with you. And you need to respect their wishes.

Finn: I’m sorry things didn’t turn out the way you hoped.

Hope: Oh, it’s okay. Liam and I were grateful to get the kids to bed early. I just… I just feel bad for my mom.

Steffy: Okay, so he missed one. I don’t understand why brooke has an issue with it.

Hope: I don’t know, I just… I feel like something has been off with my mom since that night, but… anyway, I should get going, but it was good seeing you both.

Finn: You too.

Brooke: If you want your father in your life, that is your choice. But I can’t have him or his influence in mine.

Ridge: What happened? I was just so excited to be with you on new year’s, you know? I mean, after the year we had, I thought it would be really good for us.

Ridge: I wanted that too, more than anything in the world.

Brooke: And I’m not blaming you, ridge. I know… you wanted that too. I mean, I was disappointed I was, but I accepted it. At least I thought I had. Well, that’s when something just kind of switched inside of me. I don’t know why or– or how or– or why… I was drinking this non-alcoholic bottle of champagne, and I wasn’t even thinking about alcohol at all. And I was having a good time, you know, I was laughing and playing with the kids. And it was a wonderful night. It was nothing out of the ordinary. And then when everybody left… that’s what I felt it. I felt this… overwhelming urge to drink… real alcohol. And I don’t– I don’t even know where that was coming from, you know, I– I didn’t understand it, it just was overpowering. And I pulled that vodka bottle out and I– I opened it and I poured myself a glass and… you know, I didn’t want it. I wanted more and more and I wanted to drink it. And I just was– I just drank it.

Ridge: Okay. It’s okay. Doesn’t your family deserve the best?

Finn: Sounds like brooke might have had a more difficult new year’s, then we realized. What do you think that’s all about?

Steffy: I’m not sure. But I am surprised deacon was invited.

Finn: Yeah, me too. Although it doesn’t sound like it caused any problems.

Steffy: Yeah, that’s a firsT. I’m relieved we didn’t have any unexpected visitors.

Finn: Like my mom.

Steffy: I was wondering if your mom was gonna make an appearance on new year’s eve. I’m glad she didn’T.

Taylor: Perimeters have been set. You must abide by them, sheila.

Sheila: Oh. Yeah. Yeah, there are rules to follow. I know that.

Taylor: Good. That means no showing up unannounced, you.. can’t go anywhere unless you’re invited.

Sheila: Right, got it.

Taylor: You understand why there need to be constraints.

Sheila: Yeah. Of course I do, and I really can’t blame you.

Taylor: Sheila, if you could just see your life in its entirety, you would see the… the obsessive tendencies over the years and– and it always leads to A… pattern of troubling instability. Which I witnessed firsthand when you shot me. But I believe in recovery, sheila, for everyone. But you’re going to have to put in a tremendous amount of effort to become the person you want to be. Someone trusted. Someone who doesn’t hurt people.

Sheila: I will be that– that woman, but I thank you so much for having… faith and believing that I can accomplish that.

Taylor: Remember why you’re doing this.

Sheila: I do. I do know why I’m doing this. But the fact that you… that you believe that I can make those changes in my life, taylor, it really… speaks to your character, the person that you are, with your kindness and– and your– your compassion. That is something that brooke… would never have.

Taylor: Sheila, I am sensing a lot of anger towards brooke. I don’t want you causing trouble for anybody.

Sheila: Even brooke.

Taylor: You haven’t done anything to her, have you? Sheila, promise me that you will not lash out at brooke.

Sheila: I promise.

Brooke: Why did I drink, ridge? What brought this on?

Ridge: It’s okay.

Brooke: No, no, it’s not okay.

Ridge: You’re only human. It happens, we’ll deal with it.

Brooke: I don’t even understand what happened, I mean, what was going through my head?

Ridge: Don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s gonna be all right. I going to ask you something, it’s not because I want to upset you, it’s because I want to get to the bottom of this, the same way that you want to get to the bottom of it.

Brooke: I don’t really have any answers.

Ridge: You said deacon was part of the evening. Did something happen? The worst decisions of your life were because of deacon. Did he do something?

Hope: Mom? Ridge… what is it?

Brooke: It’s nothing, honey. Honey, I’m fine.

Hope: No, mom, there’s obviously something going on. What is it?

Brooke: I don’t want to worry you.

Hope: Mom.

Brooke: All right. I admitted to ridge that… something happened on new year’s eve. I drank.

Hope: You–

Brooke: Yes, I drank, honey, I slipped up, I had a relapse.

Hope: Mom, it’s okay.

Brooke: Honey… I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I brought in ensure max protein,

Taylor: Hello, ms. Ceo.

Steffy: Hey, mom. I’m so glad you stopped by.

Taylor: Oh hi, sweetheart.

Steffy: If dad were here, he’d like to say that he’s co-ceo but–

Taylor: Oh, okay, well, we all know who runs the place around here, don’t we?

Steffy: That’s true. I mean, if I’m going to be real, it’s granddad, but…

Taylor: You know, I just saw eric in the hallway. Honey, I love that you are working alongside your father and your grandfather and working with your brother. Oh, I have so many wonderful memories here at forrester creations.

Steffy: Yeah, well, it’S… it’s home. Especially now that my cute mama’s here. Look at you in this outfit.

Taylor: Thank you. I’ll have to come by more often.

Steffy: You should. And we could grab lunch now that you’re here for good.

Taylor: Oh, I would love that. Yes, and my treat any time. Maybe we’ll even invite finn.

Steffy: We could do that. Finn was actually just here. He had to run back to the hospital. Hope stopped by too.

Taylor: Really, well, that’s a busy morning. How is she?

Steffy: Yeah, I got a really… weird vibe. She seemed concerned about brooke.

Sheila: I am going… to prove to finn, steffy, taylor and everybody else that I am a changed woman. As long as no one finds out what it did to brooke on new year’s eve.

Hope: Mom, how… did this happen?

Brooke: I have no idea. Honestly, I… it’s really confusing to me, I wasn’t missing alcohol at all.

Ridge: I don’t want anyone to feel defensive, but I was asking your mom before you walked in if… if deacon was here when this drinking thing happened.

Brooke: Seriously?

Ridge: Seems that deacon is always around when bad things happen. Simple question was– was deacon here when you were drinking?

Brooke: I’m the only one to blame. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I let everybody down.

Hope: Mom, please, don’T.

Brooke: I risked everything and for what?

Ridge: Don’t be so hard on yourself.

Hope: It’s a disease, we know you don’t have a choice. We know you don’t want this to happen, but it did, and it’s okay because we love you and we’re your family and we’re going to help you through this.

Ridge: Sweetheart, we’re all here. You have all the support in the world.

Brooke: I don’t want to lose you.

Ridge: Why would you lose me? That’s silly.

Brooke: I’m sorry, I, um,

Hope: Mom, hey, you have nothing to apologize for.

Ridge: And nothing to feel guilty about.

Brooke: I regret it. I really do.

Hope: Hey, mom, we’re all human. None of us are perfect. We all– we all make mistakes.

Brooke: You have no idea.

Hope: Well, I wish I had stayed. I shouldn’t have left you all alone on new year’s eve. I’m sorry.

Brooke: So deacon is gonna haunt me. He’s going to haunt me forever. We’re going to need to just keep this a secret, okay? Forever.

Abby: Well, I am happy to report that you are officially magic.

Chance: Oh, yeah? What’d I do?

Abby: Playtime with daddy went so well that dom was tuckered. I mean, he fell asleep as soon as I put him down.

Chance: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, he had a good time or, you know, at least it seemed like he did.

Abby: Of course he did! He was spending time with his dad.

Chance: Yeah, well, there’s a lot more to being a good dad than acing tummy time.

Abby: Parenting has a steep learning curve. Look, there’s new challenges every day. I’m always wondering what’s right. Most of the time, I am just faking it. I mean, I have my own questions and fears.

Chance: No, that’s so different. Are you kidding me? I watch you with dom, and I’m just always in awe of how instinctively you respond to him. It’s so special.

Abby: Hey. You are being hard on yourself. Look, I know that your connection with him is just gonna grow, and you guys are gonna be just as close. Dominic is gonna get older, and you guys are gonna start doing guy things together, like playing catch and running around.

Chance: Yeah, hope you’re right.

Abby: No. I know I’m right. We just have to focus on our family and growing that connection with dominic. I have faith in you.

Chance: Well, thank you for believing in me.

Abby: I love you. We’re a team.

Chance: Mm. Well, then we need to put our heads together. We have to make a decision about devon’s request to play a bigger role in dominic’s life.

Amanda: That is not a work face. You thinking about dominic?

Devon: I just can’t get over how abby and chance reacted to me wanting to spend more time with him.

Amanda: Yeah, I know. I’m sorry.

Devon: It’s like they treated me like I was attacking their parenting skills.

Amanda: Well, in their defense, your request, it probably came as a huge shock. This is a complicated situation, devon. I mean, there’s a lot of emotions involved.

Devon: Oh, yeah, there certainly are, ’cause they got very, very defensive.

Amanda: I’m sure that they did. But they also know that you’ve been there from the very beginning. Okay, you were the one who volunteered to be the donor that they needed to make that beautiful baby boy. Right? And you were also the one who helped them track down the guy who kidnapped mariah. You were there when he was brought into this world. You saw him take his first breath. You have been a part of this child’s life. He has a life because of you. They know that.

Devon: Well, they’re my friends and you know what I’m up against, so what do you suggest that I do?

Amanda: Well, what was the last thing that you told them?

Devon: I told them that we can talk about it when they’re ready to. Is that not the right move?

Amanda: I get that you’re trying to give abby some time to process things, but you decided to put a pin in the conversation as soon as things got tense.

Devon: I — yeah, ’cause I-i felt like, if I pushed, you know, for them to make a decision, that would jeopardize my future with dominic or our friendship. So I don’t know what to do, and I would love your honest opinion. If you were in my shoes, what would you do?

Amanda: Well, I think that what you’re asking for is perfectly reasonable. Do not let this go.

Sharon: Fresh out of the oven.

Rey: You know, you keep spoiling me like this, I’m gonna have to add extra time to my workouts.

Sharon: That wouldn’t be a bad idea.

Rey: Oh, really?

Sharon: Oh, I know a good way you can work off extra calories.

Rey: Tell me more.

Nick: Don’t get up. I brought gifts.

Sharon: Hey. You should be the one receiving gifts, not giving them. Happy belated birthday, and welcome home.

Nick: Thank you. I hope christian wasn’t too much trouble for you guys.

Rey: You kidding? We loved having him. What’s in the bags?

Nick: Whoa, no, no, no. Some of the best chocolates, pastries, and cheeses you will ever experience.

Sharon: [ Laughs ] I can’t wait.

Rey: Who says we have to?

Nick: Hey! Buddy, hands off the merchandise. Come on.

Sharon: Speaking of sweets, faith says it is not officially your birthday until she gets to make you a cake.

Nick: I agree with her. Just tell her to pick a day, and I’ll be there.

Rey: How was your trip?

Nick: Amazing. Best present I’ve ever given myself.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Breathing deeply ]

Noah: Chelsea?

Chelsea: Sorry. It’s been a day. Already.

Noah: Everything okay?

Chelsea: I’ve been looking up these breathing exercises you can do in order to reduce stress. I’m thinking about asking adam to turn one of the offices into a peaceful space.

Noah: “The breathing room.”

Chelsea: Yes. I like it already. I envision myself spending a lot of time there. Unless something changes.

Noah: Is there anything going on at newman media I should know about, you know, before I get in too deep?

Chelsea: Oh, you know, just office politics. It’s always something, right?

Noah: Considering who you’re working for…

Chelsea: Your uncle.

Noah: Your ex. I’m not surprised there’s politics. You guys have a lot of history. And now sally spectra’s in the mix, too, so…

Chelsea: Do you know her?

Noah: No, no, not well. But she and adam seemed pretty close at the wedding in tuscany.

Chelsea: [ Breathes deeply ] I just heard something amazing!

Additional sponsorship

Noah: I really hope I didn’t hit a nerve.

Chelsea: It’s okay. It’s not your fault.

Noah: Look, I am no fan of sally’s and I’m only recently on speaking terms with adam again. I figured he deserved another chance after what he did for faith. So tell me, how bad are things at newman media?

Chelsea: I’ll save you a cushion in the breathing room.

Noah: Great. Yeah, now that I signed on, I’m wondering if that was the right thing to do.

Chelsea: Because of adam?

Noah: No, that’s only part of it. I’d also be jumping back into a family business that I thought i needed to escape.

Chelsea: What made you come back?

Noah: [ Chuckles ] That is the million-dollar question. I don’t know. Maybe — maybe I wanted to figure out if I was running away from gc for all the wrong reasons. Is trying to prove I’m nothing like my corporate suit relatives a good enough reason?

Chelsea: You’re an artist. You’re cut from different cloth.

Noah: Yeah, but did I have to move across the ocean to prove my point?

Chelsea: Well, london has other things going for it besides being victor-free. You got your freedom. You’re able to spread your wings, make a name for yourself.

Noah: Things in london didn’t really turn out the way i thought they would. You know, maybe that was karma’s way of showing me I shouldn’t have run away in the first place. Who knows? Maybe I should my last name to the test. Jump into the viper’s nest at newman media.

Chelsea: Well, I hope you don’t see me as one of those vipers.

Devon: I just can’t stop kicking myself for not taking your advice when we were originally drawing up the agreement. ‘Cause all you were trying to do was help me protect my rights from the get-go, in case, and i was so sure that nothing would go wrong.

Amanda: Yeah, but the baby was just an idea back then. Not this living, breathing child who’s staring back at you. You had no idea that your feelings were gonna change this way.

Devon: Yeah, you did.

Amanda: Well, my sole concern right now is you. I hate seeing you hurt like this.

Devon: I just — I don’t think that I should push abby any more, given how upset she got.

Amanda: Turned into mama bear, huh?

Devon: It’s amazing how just one little life can change everything.

Amanda: Dominic never changed you.

Devon: Don’t think so?

Amanda: No. Just amplified everything that was already in there. Your love, compassion, strength. All the good things. Your heart has always been in the right place. You just want to make sure that that little boy gets all of the love that he deserves. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Okay?

Abby: Maybe when devon said it was a bad idea bringing up shared custody, that we should just forget about it. I mean, maybe he thinks that we shouldn’t make any changes to the agreement.

Chance: Yeah, that’s — that’s one possibility.

Abby: Well, what do you think?

Chance: I don’t think he’s backing off. He probably thought talking about it right then and there was a bad idea, so he hit the pause button. I mean, which was the right move. He didn’t want to cause a scene right in the middle of crimson lights.

Abby: I didn’t take it that way.

Chance: But wanting to spend more time with dominic, I — i don’t think that’s something that’s gonna change, abby.

Abby: Okay, but, I mean, i have to tell him something. What am I gonna say?

Chance: Uh…I don’t know. But this sense of limbo is definitely unsettling, I’ll tell you. I mean, after everything devon’s done for us and dominic, we just need to tell him where we stand, be honest.

Abby: Yeah. I mean, he’s been amazing with dominic. And I can’t imagine how devon’s feeling. It doesn’t take long for our son to grow on people.

Chance: Yeah.

Abby: And mariah went through something similar. I mean, she got very attached to dominic, and, well, she just had to take some time away, and then it brought her some — some relief, some peace. I mean, maybe the same thing will happen for devon.

Chance: And if it doesn’t?

Abby: Then we do what’s best for dominic. That’s our job as his parents.

Chance: Yep, yep, yep.

Abby: And we were just talking about how important it is, now that you’re home, we’re together as a family, that you’re gonna be the best dad that you can be. Any disruption in that, that would just be weird. Babies need stability and consistency. Dominic needs to know that we’re there for him, always, to meet all of his needs. When he cries, we hold him. When he’s hungry, we feed him. I mean, and spending more time at devon’s place, the older he gets, I mean, any sort of ambiguity, I mean, that would just be confusing. He needs to know that this is his home. We are his parents.

[ Sighs ] I mean, we can’t change the agreement.

Chance: But devon can still come visit any time he likes. He needs to know that.

Abby: Yes, yes, but any changes to the legal visitation, I mean, shared custody? That’s not gonna happen.

Chance: [ Sighs ] He’s gonna be disappointed.

Abby: I know, and I’m sorry about that, but we are coming at this from a place of love. For our son and our family. You don’t know how much pressure you put on your septic system.

Sharon: So tell us why milan was such a gift.

Rey: Oh, it had to be the food.

Sharon: Or was it seeing summer and kyle?

Nick: It was all of it. The change of scenery just really allowed me to figure out some things.

Sharon: That’s so great.

Nick: Summer is doing awesome. She and kyle have built a great life there. Marchetti loves her. Harrison is speaking italian like a native.

Sharon: Wow. Well, sounds like summer’s really coming into her own. Hey, when are we going to milan?

Rey: [ Chuckles ] You know, I would love to pursue this topic of conversation — thank you, nick — but right now I got to go talk to chance.

Sharon: Oh, okay.

Rey: We shall revisit later.

Sharon: Yes, we’ll talk about this later. So, something seems a little different about you. You seem more relaxed.

Nick: I am. You know, I took a long look at summer’s life, and I realized that the distance from the family has allowed her to grow and challenge herself.

Sharon: Did she say that?

Nick: She didn’t have to. I can see it in her. The freedom from the familiarity has done wonders for her, and it’s made me realize that being a newman shouldn’t define any part of who I am.

Chance: Thanks for meeting me like this, man. I know you’re a busy guy.

Rey: Yeah, but I always got time for my old partner. What’s up? You made it sound important.

Chance: Well, I might have oversold it a little bit. But it is important to me, at least.

Rey: Alright. Lay it on me.

Chance: I’m ready to get back to work.

Rey: I thought you were taking more personal time.

Chance: Yeah, I know, and i know I’m supposed to take things slow and ease back in to the workflow, yeah.

Rey: And the last time you spoke to the chief, he was a little reluctant.

Chance: Well, that’s where you come in handy, partner.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] Okay, I see. You want me to convince him that you’re ready.

Chance: That’s why you’re the second-best detective around.

Rey: Ahh.

Chance: Come on, man. You clearly need me and my skills. Let me put them to good use.

Rey: You sure you’re ready to sign back up for fighting crime, bad coffee, and long nights?

Chance: It’s what I was made for.

Rey: What about abby and the baby? I know how important it is for you to reconnect with them.

Chance: Come on, man. You know abby. She’s more than supportive. Enough about me. Fill me in on this case you’re working on. I’m all ears.

Amanda: What do you think about lasagna? Or I can pull out all the stops and I can make my famous duck dish. Or the salmon and grits that you like. Hmm?

Devon: Sounds like you’re trying to distract me with food.

Amanda: Distract you? Hmm, why would I do that?

Devon: Can you do that? You’re more than welcome to try.

Amanda: Yeah?

Devon: Yeah.

[ Knock on door ]

Devon: Are you expecting somebody?

Amanda: Oh, no. Stay right there.

Devon: Okay.

Amanda: Abby, hi.

Abby: I’m sorry for just popping in. Is now a good time?

Devon: Absolutely. Come in, please.

Amanda: I’m gonna head out. I’m — I got to grab some things for dinner, so I’ll be back, okay?

Devon: Okay. I love you.

Amanda: Love you, too.

Abby: I’m sorry. I probably should’ve warned you that I was stopping by.

Devon: It’s completely fine. You’re always welcome here. Can I get you anything? Drink or…?

Abby: No, no, I’m good. Thanks.

Devon: Yeah. I’m glad you’re here, ’cause i wanted to apologize for how tense everything got last time we talked. I didn’t mean for that to happen at all.

Abby: No, I’m the one who’s sorry for the way I reacted.

Devon: Mm, it’s okay.

Abby: I actually — I want to thank you for giving chance and I some time to think it over and talk about it.

Devon: Yeah, of course. We’re — we’re all friends, and I don’t want that to change.

Abby: You’re more than just a friend. We both know that. And I am eternally grateful for everything that you’ve done. You’ve gone above and beyond. That’s just who you are.

Devon: You know, I would do anything for dominic.

Abby: I know that, and I know that you love him deeply. But chance and I, we have decided…we’re not gonna make any changes to the visitation agreement. Dominic has a home with his mother and his father. I always had a connection to my grandfather…

Devon: Okay. Um…abby, I hope that this is not a misunderstanding, ’cause i am not trying to take chance’s place as dom’s dad. That’s not my intention at all.

Abby: And I hope that you know that dominic is adored by his mother and his father. He will have a supportive family the rest of his life. We’ll make sure of it.

Devon: Yeah, okay. So what are you trying to say to me?

Abby: Devon, you are always welcome in our home, but…we don’t want anything that might be confusing to dominic right now, especially since chance is trying to make up for the time that he lost with his son.

Devon: Well, I’m not asking for anything that’s gonna get in the way of that. I just want to spend more time with dominic.

Abby: Do you remember when we talked about creating a child?

Devon: Of course.

Abby: That’s when we all sat around and we created boundaries, and chance and I, as dominic’s parents, think it’s important to adhere to those.

Devon: Yeah, I hear what you’re saying, but you realize that when we started this journey, we had no idea of what path we’d end up on, right?

Abby: Right, I mean, I was certain that chance would be by my side for most of the pregnancy.

Devon: Yeah, and then he wasn’t for the whole time.

Abby: I would give anything for chance to have been home before dominic was born, but i guess we don’t always get what we want.

Devon: Yeah, no, I guess not.

Abby: And when I thought that chance had died in that explosion, that he might never get to meet his son, I… I’m very thankful that you were there to help me through that.

Devon: I wouldn’t have had it any other way, abby.

Abby: But chance is home now, and my family is together. Dom’s dad has been through hell, and it’s important for him to connect with his son. He needs time to bond with him. And I refuse to let a single thing disrupt that. I hope you understand.

Rey: 30-year-old male, never late for work, dependable. Leaves his home to get in his car for the 10-mile drive to his office. No one’s seen him since then.

Chance: You check airports?

Rey: Yeah, rental cars, trains, everything.

Chance: Passport?

Rey: At home.

Chance: Debit, credit cards, anything?

Rey: Hasn’t been used since the night before he disappeared. There’s no blood or struggle at his home, and his friends have all been interviewed.

Chance: Significant other?

Rey: Yeah, that’s when things start to get interesting.

Chance: Okay, hold on. Give me a second.

Rey: You alright? You need to take a break there?

Chance: Are you kidding me? If we’re gonna solve this thing, I got to take some notes.

Rey: Ooh.

Chance: Alright, one more time, from the beginning.

Rey: [ Chuckles ]

Nick: I know I’ve had this awakening before about my family, but like they say, every time I think I’m out, they pull me right back in.

Sharon: So you’re still trying to find a way to be free.

Nick: I thought I was able to accomplish that with a career change or just trying to keep them out of my personal life, but I realized that’s just surface stuff, you know? It’s not something I felt deep down in my gut or in my mind. Um, but this time, it feels like it’s true and complete and profound.

Sharon: Well, I’m proud of you.

Nick: Before you begin your round of applause, there’s something I need to admit to you.

Sharon: Oh, no. What did you do?

Nick: No, it’s more like what I didn’t do. I wasn’t completely honest with you when you asked me about that dream I had on christmas eve.

Sharon: Yeah?

Nick: Cassie was in it.

Sharon: [ Gasps ] I haven’t dreamt about her in so long. Tell me everything. How did she look?

Nick: She was beautiful, radiant, and content. I told her how much I missed her. She said that she was always gonna be in my heart and our families. She said that life is about change and that an unexamined life isn’t worth living.

Sharon: Such an old soul. She always was.

[ Sighs ] You know…I’d like to believe that this was really a message from her.

Nick: It was very inspiring. But she wasn’t the only one in my dream. Noah and faith were in there, too. And they told me that I just needed to look inward and to follow my heart, and that my heart is where my roots are, and I just need to allow myself to get back there.

Sharon: What do you think that meant?

Nick: I don’t think they were talking about, you know, the roots of my family tree. I think they were talking about the roots that I’ve created. You know, the ones that I’ve planted. My family — that is the thing that’s going to keep me grounded. Noah and faith and summer and christian. And you. I’ve been emotionally drifting for so long and — and constantly searching, but i finally think I’ve found what I’m looking for.

Wait, oh, yes

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Can you save water running a

less-than-full dishwasher?

Abby: Look, I, um — I know that this is hard to hear and it’s not the answer that you wanted.

[ Sighs ] But please, just say something. Anything. I mean, good or bad, I can take it.

Devon: What’s left to be said? You know how I feel. I know how you guys feel, so there you go.

Abby: Well, if there’s anything that we can do to help.

Devon: Can’t imagine what that would be.

Abby: I know mariah, she needed some space, some distance, so I guess we would understand if you need that, too.

Devon: No, I’m — I’m not going anywhere.

Abby: Good, because we would miss you. Dom’s dad and I, we just — we want to make sure that you know that you will always have an important role in dominic’s life. Always. You’re always welcome. And we don’t want that to change. Dominic’s on a walk with louise right now, but he’ll be home soon if you want to stop by and say hi.

Devon: Nah. I’m okay.

Abby: Okay, well, um…when you want to come see him, dom will be therE. Okay. I’ll see you soon, I hope.

Devon: Yeah, of course.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: How am I part of your grand realization about life?

Nick: Because you are always going to be a big part of my life. But I’m talking about moving forward, and the way I’m gonna do that is by recommitting to my family, by putting my children first.

Sharon: But you’ve always done that.

Nick: I’m talking about even going further. This idea that I have involves noah, and I think it’s gonna be good for him and give him some stability, too.

Chance: Hey, nick.

Nick: What’s up, man?

Chance: How you doing?

Nick: Good. How’s my sister and handsome nephew?

Chance: I’m on my way home to them right now. I’ll send your love.

Nick: Please do.

Chance: Hi.

Rey: Alright, brother.

Chance: Hey, thanks for everything, man. I really appreciate it.

Rey: I’ll see you later.

Chance: Yes, sir.

Rey: So what’d I miss?

Nick: You know what? We’re gonna grab some beers and catch up on all that when you get a chance.

Rey: I’m gonna hold you to that.

Sharon: Are you leaving already?

Nick: Yeah, I got to go talk to noah, but we’ll catch up soon.

Rey: Alright, buddy. Take care, man.

Nick: Yeah.

Sharon: Hey, nick.

Nick: We’ll finish this conversation later, I promise.

Sharon: Okay.

Rey: We’re alone at last. What did I miss?

Sharon: Well, nick had a holiday epiphany about family, and it has more to do with noah, but he didn’t give me any details, so I’m kind of curious.

Amanda: Hello.

Devon: Hey.

Amanda: I can tell that your talk with abby didn’t go the way that you wanted.

Devon: [ Sighs ] YeP. Long story short, she said no to my request. She and chance are against giving me any kind of official visitation outside of their house.

Amanda: What reason did she give?

Devon: Doesn’t want to confuse dominic.

Amanda: Spending time with his godfather is confusing? Now, that’s a stretch. I’ll tell you what’s confusing — having his mother run away to a foreign country without telling anyone where she was going or why. I’m sorrY. Continue.

Devon: Nah, that’s okay. She said that she wants the three of them to focus on bonding as a family, and she’s worried that I will interfere with chance creating a real connection with dominic. And according to her, what I’m asking for is unnecessary ’cause he already has a mom and a dad.

Amanda: You have every right to be angry and disappointed. And you also have options.

Devon: Yeah, what options do I have?

Amanda: You can take legal action.

Abby: How lucky am I that i ran into you and ms. Louise, huh? Huh? And now…I got to take a picture of you because you look so cute all bundled up. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. Who is cuter than you? Let me tell you — nobody is cuter than you.

[ Gasps ] Can you smile for me? Can you give me the smile that you only give mama?

[ Gasps ] Oh. Your little face, it makes everything better. You know who else takes all the sad things and just puts them away, huh? Your dad. If you ever have a problem, you can always go to him. But where is your dad? I did not see his car outside. Should we call him? Voicemail. Hmm. Where did your daddy go? Wet dishes?

Chelsea: It’s brave of you to try to prove something to yourself, but we both know what kind of damage the newmans can cause.

Noah: True.

Chelsea: If you ask me, which you didn’t, my advice to you would be just don’t make yourself miserable.

Noah: Oh, well, being miserable definitely isn’t part of the plan. But if it comes to that, obviously I would — dad.

Nick: Chelsea.

Chelsea: Nick. Hi.

Nick: Wow, you look fantastic. How you doing?

Chelsea: So far, so good. Being back with connor again was exactly what I needed.

Nick: How does working at newman media fit into things?

Chelsea: Well, sometimes you just have to prove to yourself you can do something. And adam and I, we’re just, you know, figuring it out day by day.

Nick: Yeah, it’s good, i guess.

Chelsea: Yeah. But speaking of, I actually have to get work, start some designs.

Nick: It’s great seeing you.

Chelsea: It’s really good to see you, too. Bye, noah.

Noah: Welcome back, world traveler. How was milan?

Nick: It was illuminating.

Noah: Oh, yeah. How so?

Nick: I’ve got some ideas. All I ask is that you keep an open mind.

Devon: I don’t want to take chance and abby to court. It’S…

Amanda: It’s just an option. But let’s look at the facts. This has never been a typical donor situation.

Devon: I know that, but still, that’S…

Amanda: You are close friends with abby. You have been for years. She not only invited you into that boy’s life, but she entrusted you with him when she left the country. That is an indicator that she considers you dom’s de facto father.

[ Sighs ] I mean, she left you a note. She had no idea when she was gonna be home, and you dropped everything to be the father that that boy needed. You rearranged your life. You put your job on hold just to be there for that boy every minute of every day.

Devon: I know, can’t argue with that.

Amanda: So then just at least consider what I am proposing. I can’t make any promises, but there are some factors that are working in your favor.

Devon: The way you’re talking about this, have you, like, researched it or what?

Amanda: No, but having worked on the original contract, I know what we can use to build an argument.

Devon: Well, hypothetically, what would you say?

Amanda: You’re the biological father. You can petition the court for visitation just like many grandparents do with much success. Plus, chance was not there when you signed the original contract.

Devon: Well, does that help us or hurt us?

Amanda: It complicates things, but your legal agreement was solely with abby.

Devon: No, I hear everything that you’re saying, but…I’m not even entirely sure where abby’s coming from in all this. I don’t know if there’s a deeper reason that she’s fighting me or, you know…

Amanda: What do you mean?

Devon: I don’t know. I don’t know if she feels threatened or if she’s trying to protect chance. Either way, the only thing i know for certain is that if i take them to court, it’s gonna affect everybody, including dominiC.

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Abby: I know. That’s how I felt when I had to talk to your godfather. Yeah, so he might not be coming to visit anytime soon. But it was the right thing to do. And how amazing is it that your dad is home and he is safe. We’re all together.

[ Gasps ] And look, there he is. There’s your daddy. Say, “hi, daddy.”

Chance: Well, hey, gorgeous.

Abby: Hi. Are you gonna say hi to your son?

Chance: Yes, I am. Hey, there, buddy. Hey, there, buddy. Are you having a good day? Yeah, ’cause your daddy sure is, right?

Abby: Well, that’s good to hear. I know, I know. We were so worried about you when we got home and you weren’t here.

Chance: Oh, yeah, I’m sorry about that. I was with rey.

Abby: Oh?

Chance: Yeah, yeah, you won’t believe this case he’s working on, abby. It’s — it’s cool stuff. It’s fun stuff.

Abby: Wait. You’ve already gone back to work on the force without telling me?

Rey: Oh, looks like you’re setting up shop here.

Chelsea: I promise I’ll buy a ton of coffee.

Rey: Being cooped up at an office all day can’t be good for your creative energy or whatever you need to sketch.

Chelsea: Ooh, listen to you, sounding like a real design expert.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] What I’m saying is you could probably use a change of scenery, huh?

Chelsea: Oh, you have no idea.

Rey: How’s the new job?

Chelsea: It’s not going the way I imagined. I knew working with adam would present its fair share of challenges, but there are other surprising downsides.

Rey: Like what?

Chelsea: You really want to know?

Rey: Well, I’m asking. I’m interested. That’s kind of how it works.

Chelsea: You know, usually when someone gets poisoned and they encounter the person responsible, they’re not this nice. But look at you, asking me about my job, about my creative process.

Rey: Well, should we talk about the weather instead?

Chelsea: It’s a miracle you’re even talking to me. No one more of a reason to hate me than you. Yet you invited me to join you on your anniversary and new year’S. Here you are reaching out again. You’re a really good guy, rey.

New vicks vapostick. Strong soothing vapors…

Rey: Yeah, I’m not such a great guy. In fact, there are more than a few people behind bars who have the opposite opinion of me. So back to the original question.

Chelsea: What’s bugging me at work that drove me to turn crimson lights into my own personal workspace?

Rey: That’s the one.

Chelsea: I mean, who wouldn’t want to work here, right? The constant parade of people, the aroma of coffee and pastries in the air.

Rey: You know, when I get an answer like that during my interrogations, it usually means a person’s being evasive.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] What’s bothering me doesn’t really matter, you know? There’s nothing I can do to change it anyway. But you asking me about it, especially out of more than just politeness, I appreciate that. Thank you.

Rey: I don’t know why it’s such a big deal.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I was feeling sorry for myself because I don’t have a ton of people I can talk to these days, so I’m not gonna repay you for your kindness by boring you with my issues. Maybe I’ll take you up on the talking thing some other time.

Rey: Whenever you want. I’ll let you get back to work. What are you smiling about?

Sharon: She’s right. You really are a good guy.

Noah: So let’s hear about these grand ideas that you hatched while you were in milan.

Nick: Some of them relate to you.

Noah: Okay.

Nick: Just tell me, is it too late to talk you out of working for your grandfather and adam?

Noah: Huh. You see, that’s — that’s funny, ’cause last I checked, you said you were supportive of me making my own decisions. Did something change?

Nick: No, you are a man. You can do whatever you want. But I’m still the best father in the world.

Noah: That’s all true. So what’s up?

Nick: Maybe there are greener pastures out there for you.

Noah: Where would that be?

Nick: Right here. Come work for me.

Chance: No, I haven’t put my badge back on yet, I promise. I was just getting the lay of the land, you know, getting a feel for what’s happening since I’ve been gone so that when I do decide to go back, I’ll be caught up, you know?

Dominic: [ Crying ]

Abby: [ Speaks indistinctly ]

Chance: Sorry.

Abby: Well, that’s a relief.

Chance: Yeah, yeah, I mean, i would never go back without talking to you about it. Are you serious? Come on, but I’m not gonna lie, abby, it was — it was nice to get my feet wet again. I mean, rey’s working on this case that’s, like, right in my wheelhouse, right up my alley, so it just got me excited to get my detective skills back to use again, you know?

Abby: Well, I haven’t seen you this excited in a long time.

Chance: I know, I know. It’s the case, abby, it’s just got me pumped. You won’t believe it, it’s this guy, he’s — he’s missing right now, and, uh… well, you know, I’m not gonna burden you with all the details. I’m probably not supposed to talk about it anyways, but I got some theories on my own that i want to put to test when I get back to the force officially.

Amanda: I am not trying to tell you what to do. This is your decision to make, and you know abby a lot better than I do, so…

Devon: Yeah, but I still want your perspective on the situation.

Amanda: Well, it concerns me that chance and abby are drawing a line in the sand. It makes me wonder what their next move will be.

Devon: I don’t think they’re gonna retaliate.

Amanda: Do you know that for sure?

Devon: I mean, abby went out of her way again to promise me I’m always gonna have a place in dom’s life. You know? And at the end of the day, I’m the one who agreed to father their child without any written stipulations on visitation. So that’s — that’s on me. Back then, all I wanted was to just help them start a family.

Amanda: A loving family that you would be a part of. Isn’t that what they said?

Devon: Yeah. I just need to continue being there for dominic, however i can.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 okay. On the paper, not the table this time. Deal? Deal. I can’t wait to see your masterpiece.

[ Sighs ] Any word from sonny or carly? Yeah, I, uh, I spoke with my mom briefly. How is she? She’s not good. I’m worried about her, obviously, but she asked for some space, so I’m gonna give it to her. And your dad? According to tony, he’s fine. I just can’t believe he got on the stand and said what nina did wasn’t a crime.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I wish more than anything that I hadn’t gone to the chapel that day, that I never overheard sonny and nina, but I did. Then I made the choice to keep it from all of you. Hey, no one blames you for that. Okay, I-I don’t — I don’t blame you for that. Look, hey, there’s a silver lining, though, right? I mean, at least I know why i did what I did with da sheridan. We both thought we were protecting our family. Can you please keep your voice down? You know how everyone in this house has supersonic hearing. I’m waiting for an answer.

[ Sighs ] You are not the mother of that baby. How do I know that? Because you were never pregnant. How do I know that? Because you called me for help getting a black-market baby. Yeah, and you hung up on me, so I had to take matters into my own hands. Well, I can see that. So…how’d you get the baby? And please do not tell me the old-fashioned way. How do you think maxie is — is gonna react to this plan of ours? Well, I’m not sure. I mean, I know she loves louise, and she wants nothing more than to have her daughter home. But? The way she’s dealing with it worries me. Right. I know. Like the other day when she just said she was so positive that louise was gonna be back with her by next christmas. Yes. I mean, I want that, obviously. And I — and I want her to have that kind of hope. But it’s really strange. You know, whenever I try to bring up the subject of searching for her baby, maxie just seems… kind of reluctant. I think I know why.

[ Telephone ringing, indistinct conversations ] Britt: Maxie, what are you doing here? Have you — um, have you talked to peter? Not yet. Okay, uh, I would like to know when he’s getting shipped off to pentonville. Well, certainly not before his condition stabilizes. And that will be? Maxie, look, he’s being guarded 24-7. You don’t have to worry. I don’t have to worry? Britt, peter has escaped from this hospital once before already. I can’t deal with that again. Valentin, good to see you. I would say the same, victor, but I’m not gonna lie. Oh, I-I did as you requested. I gave you space to enjoy the holidays with your daughter. Now you’re back to your campaign for father of the year? Did charlotte have a nice christmas? Alright. What about you? How are you holding up? Uh, tip-top. Back to 100%. I wasn’t talking about the gunshot wound. I heard you lost a child. Maxie, I know it’s hard to believe after everything we’ve been through, but peter isn’t going anywhere. Perhaps you could direct me to his room. His room’s right there, but it’s for approved visitors only. And why do you want to know? Thank you. Hello. Uh, martin grey, attorney at law. Mr. August… what the hell is going on?

[ Monitor beeping ] Oh, you made it.

[ Door closes ] Thank you for coming. So… what can I do for you, mr. August? Call me peter. I’d like to hire you to be my attorney. To do what, exactly? To prove that I did not kill franco baldwin.

I appreciate you trying to help. This isn’t charity, alexis. Running the invader is gonna take a lot of work. I’m sure it’s gonna take a lot of work, especially if you have no clue what you’re doing. So you’re afraid of trying something new? I am not afraid. Okay, then, so you’ll do it.

[ Knock on door ] Pushy, pushy.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Come on in. Hey, everything okay? Hi, shawn. Sam.

[ Door closes ] Shawn — his nonprofit just bought the invader. Oh, wow. I know it used to be no better than a tabloid, but I’m changing the mission completely. Good for you. And he wants me to be his second-in-command. Wow. Wow, right? Crazy, huh? Well, not necessarily. What? Okay, hear me out. I-I’ve always thought that shawn was a discerning kind of guy. Why, think you. You must have your reasons for wanting my mother to be a part of the paper. What are they? Look, I know I-I should have brought you into the loop about having nina arrested, but… well, you kind of — kind of did the same thing, right, by not telling me about my dad and nina’s relationship? So w-what I’m saying, maybe moving forward, we can give each other a little grace, because as parents, we’re gonna have to make some executive decisions in the moment. No. No, we don’t have to make any executive decisions? No, they’re not the same thing. The secret I kept from you had nothing to do with wiley or parenting. It was about two grown adults who fell in love. And one of whom was my father and both of whom are wiley’s grandparents. Still… so I-I thought we were on the same — same page here. What am I — what am I missing? Martin is not gonna take peter’s case. How do you know? Because he wouldn’t stoop that low. Mr. August, I am extremely reluctant to take your case. The list of allegations against you is epic, and it wouldn’t exactly do my record any good to defend you and have you get locked up. No, I’m afraid the only way I would consider accepting someone like you as a client is if the compensation were both generous and prompt. In other words, you can be bought. No, but my services can be acquired on a limited basis for a $50,000 retainer. Done. However, to be perfectly clear, I am only willing to defend you on charges pertaining to the murder of franco baldwin. The rest of it, the entire catalog of heinous accusations against you, is some other lawyer’s problem. Understood. So tell me, what am I up against? Oh, I don’t know yet. I’d have to look at the official files, see what the pcpd has held back from public record. However, based on what I’ve read, I think I could poke a hole or two in the prosecution’s case. Excellent. Still…

[Scoffs] Even if you are exonerated, and that is one big “if,” there is an avalanche of charges waiting for you in other jurisdictions. One battle at a time, martin. One battle at a time. Maxie’s in denial of louise’s disappearance. She’s convinced herself that wherever her baby is, she’s safe and well cared for. You kind of have to do that, though, don’t you? Or else how — how do you carry on? Absolutely. I think that’s how she finds the strength to be a mother to georgie and james right now. I remember doing that. I-I did that. I-I convinced myself that robin was happy with filomena when I couldn’t be with her. I felt the same way when mac was raising the girls. But we were right. Our children

were happy and safe, and we knew where they were. Maxie doesn’t have that. How much longer can maxie go on not knowing if her daughter is alive? Oh. Don’t say that.

[ Breathes sharply ] I don’t know, really. Martin, um, you’re not gonna take that monster’s case, are you? I’d appreciate it if you refer to my client by his name. No. Yes. I’ve been retained to represent peter at his upcoming murder trial. But what about new year’s? Pardon? You and lucy? I-I helped you guys sneak out. I know. And I sincerely thank you for the assistance.

[ Elevator bell dings, doors slide open ] But, maxie, business is business. New year’s eve, purely pleasure. Bailey isn’t lost, victor. She’s perfectly fine. But she’s lost to you. No longer your little girl. No, that’s right. She’s not. I’m very sorry about that, valentin. For both of us. I’d have loved another granddaughter. Well, don’t get any ideas, because you’re never gonna see the one you already have. Never say never. If you think I will ever let you near charlotte, you are crazy. Alright, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to push. Right, ’cause you’re all about restraint, aren’t you? Well, I admit, I am more of a man of action. And I find it intolerable what brook lynn did to you. I assume you’re gonna retaliate. I can handle brook lynn. Well, you don’t have to do it alone. Why don’t the both of us show her that no one crosses a cassadine?

Found a mother who couldn’traise her baby, and I helped. Wow. That’s really generous of you. I did it for the family. I wanted to gain control back of elq from valentin. Mm-hmm. And did that work? Not for long. Valentin found out I was lying, and he took back his shares. Uh-huh, and now you’re trying to pass off detective chase as the father. Well, I couldn’t admit I faked a pregnancy. Why not? Because then how would I explain the baby? I don’t understand. You’d already been found out. Why not tell the truth? Now, I understand if the adoption was illegal, but if the mother was on board… oh, no. Do not tell me you were stupid enough to steal a baby.

[ Doorbell rings ] I’ll get it.

[ Clears throat ]

[ Door opens ] Maxie: Sorry I’m late. What’s wrong? Ugh, that’s sleaze martin grey has taken peter’s case. No, he didn’T. Yes, he did. I just ran into him at the hospital. Maxie, what were you doing at the hospital? I didn’t see peter. Don’t worry, mom. I just wanted to make sure he was still there. So when’s peter getting shipped off to prison to await trial? I don’t know. As far as I am aware, he’s incapable of being moved right now, physically and medically. Okay, well, he’s kind of famous for breaking through barriers. No, not anymore. Peter’s going away for the rest of his life. But enough about him. You’re right. This was a good idea, you know, the three of us getting together, relaxing, laughing, de-stressing. Well, actually, we have something rather important that we’d like to discuss with you. Oh? It’s a difficult subject, but we need to talk about the search for louise. I-it hasn’t been easy. There’s not been many leads, but I want you to know that everyone is very determined to bring your baby home. Oh. And on that note. Ladies. Hello. You okay? What is it? Uh… I got a bit of bad news. What? Nothing to do with robin. Uh… there’s been a rather tragic cable-car accident in austria. I heard about that in the news, yeah. Yeah. According to tracy… …luke was on that cable car. What? Oh, god. Oh, no. Ohh. Luke’s gone. Knock, knock. Hi, you two. Willow: Mom. Happy new year. Uh, brook lynn pointed me in this direction. I get the feeling she was in the middle of something. Oh, yeah, brook lynn usually is. Thank you so much for letting me bring wiley his gift. I’m sorry it took this long to find a good time. Oh, come on. I’m just happy for the invite. Hey, wiley, come here. Do you remember your grandma harmony? Wow. Three grandmothers. How lucky are you? Hi, wiley. I know I didn’t get a chance to see you last week, but I have been thinking about you the whole time. Merry christmas. Whoa, what do you think it is? Mm-hmm. Whatcha doing? Didn’t anyone ever tell you not to sneak up on anyone? I wasn’t sneaking. I’m just walking. Okay, I’m going in there. You think that’s a good idea? Good thing I didn’t ask for your opinion. No, you didn’t, but, okay, hold on, dr. Westbourne. We both know that you’re not peter’s doctor, are you? No, but I am co-chief of staff, which gives me free rein in this hospital. Fair enough, but, um, I’m just gonna ask. Please h-help me to understand something. Why do you want to go in there? When was the last time you saw peter? Cassadine island… where he killed jason and almost did the same to me and my mom. Exactly. Which is exactly why I need to see him. Okay, it’s not a good look, just so you know, you know, if the co-chief of staff is arrested for murdering one of the patients. Oh, believe me, if I were to hurt peter, I wouldn’t get caught. I-I do believe you. But I didn’t hear you say the part where you promise not to hurt peter. Very observant, doctor.

[ Monitor beeping ] I need to monitor the patient. Hey, there, sis. What’s up?

[Upbeat acoustic music throughout]

[Upbeat acoustic music throughout] Good. Some good news, finally. Great. Well, now that we’ve settled that, the rest is really none of your business, so… except that that’s not true. See, you’re trying to pass that child off as a quartermaine. That automatically makes it all my business. Back to chase. Great. So, why couldn’t you just say you had a one-night stand? I mean, why did you have to involve a police detective? I didn’t involve chase, okay? He decided all on his own to help me out. To lie for you. Whatever. So, uh, you and mr. Law and order?

[ Scoffs ] No, it’s — it’s not like that. Chase and i were just friends. Why do I find that so hard to believe? Cool! What do you say? Thank you. You’re welcome.

[ Laughs ] The train set’s pretty legit. It must have been expensive. Oh, don’t worry about it. I’ve been saving up so I could spoil him. Can I show leo? Yeah, sure, bud. But you might want to say goodbye to harmony right now, because toby’s mom’s gonna be picking you up soon for your playdate. Wiley: Okay.

[ Gasps ] Is this for me? Oh. Oh, my goodness, wiley, you are such an amazing artist. I know exactly where I’m gonna hang it. Thank you. I’ll bring this, okay? Why don’t you hold that one? You got it? Wiley: Yeah. Alright.

[ Chuckles ] Bye. Um, thank you for calling. I-I thought maybe when I didn’t hear from you that you might have changed your mind. No, I’m sorry about that. There’s just been a lot going on. Yeah, yeah, I actually — I heard that the charges were dropped against nina reeves after the preliminary hearing. How do you and michael feel about that? Michael’s understandably angry that nina got off scot-free. That wasn’t the worst part. There were some things that came out during the hearing that michael thinks nina purposely withheld to blindside the family. I see. What do you think about it? It just se ems impossible.A world without luke in it? Yeah, I know. I mean, do they suspect that there was any tampering or…? First thing I checked. It would appear that… his luck just plain ran out. Maxie: I’m so sorry. I know how important he was to you guys. My best friend. Brother, actually. No amount of time or distance ever changed that. Do bobbie and laura know? Uh, yeah. I-I called to check on them after olivia had broken the news. They’re… they’re both pretty devastated. Bobbie’s taking it particularly badly. Of course she is. Does she want to see anyone? No. She asked to be… left alone until she can process all of this. I-I feel like that’s the last thing she needs, but I’ll respect her wishes for now. [ Sniffles ] What about tracy? Haven’t spoken with her yet. Okay, um, I think I’ll stop by there and offer my condolences. Wait. I-I’d like to drive you, if I can? Yeah. Okay. I love you guys.

[ Sniffles ] Okay, honey. Mm-hmm. -Okay. -Okay. Look after your mom, yeah? Okay.

[ Crying ] Okay.

[ Voice breaking ] First holly, and now luke. I’m glad you’re here. Right back at you. To be honest, I don’t need another journalist. I’ve got a staff full of those already. What I need is someone with a conscience to lead and guide the paper. You know, someone to fight for what’s right. Okay, now that sounds like my mom. Well, when you put it that way, why didn’t you just say that in the first place instead of calling me a chicken? Okay, I didn’t call her a chicken. He called me a chicken. He said I was afraid — it’s the same thing. Okay, bottom line is, I need a warrior. And you’re the toughest and smartest one I know. So what do you say? I was wondering when you’d drop by. I was hoping my sister of all people — don’t call me that. We’re not family. We never will be. You can’t deny blood. Watch me. Jason is dead because of you.

[ Inhales sharply ] Uh, the tunnel collapsed, britt. That’s not exactly in my control, you know?

[ Monitor beeping ] What about the shootout? Was that in your control? Because that’s what caused the cave-in, you dumbass. Not to mention, if it weren’t for you, we would never have been on that island. I understand — you’re — you’re hurting — you’re hurting — I — no, understand this — I am so glad I didn’t grow up with you. I am so glad I never knew we were related. Because all you do is bring pain and suffering to everyone. Most of all, maxie, whose life you’ve essentially ruined. That’s not true. Thanks to you, her daughter… um, our daughter. …Is god knows where, possibly crying or injured or scared or alone. If she’s even stil l alive.No, don’t — don’t say that. Oh, I’m sorry. Did that hurt? Is it hard to hear? Good. I didn’t know it was possible to actually despise a person. It is. I despise you. Point taken. I’ll make sure I let the authorities know. They’re still searching for the person that poisoned me.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Scoffs ] Please. If I poisoned you, I’d have gotten the dosage right, and we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

[ Beeping continues ] Besides, I don’t want you dead… oh, no? …Peter. No, no. Mm. I want you rotting in some supermax prison for the rest of your life. Knowing that you will never lay eyes on your daughter. I want you alone, peter. Until you join our father in hell.

Nina’s reaction, when everything came out, she seemed genuinely upset, but maybe I’m just being naive. Is that what michael said? No, but we definitely have different opinions when it comes to nina and what, if any, her role should be in wiley’s life. I don’t know. I think you should just trust your instincts, willow. I mean, if you really believe that nina means no harm, isn’t it better for wiley to have a grandmother who loves him, than for her to just disappear?

[ Footsteps ] Wiley’s off? Yeah, yeah, he is. And he insisted on bringing his train set with him to the playdate.

[ Chuckles ] I’m so glad he likes it. So, what were you two talking about? Nina. Willow didn’t give me any details, um… …but I-I urge you to trust my daughter’s instincts, michael. Okay. I don’t mean to be disrespectful here, but, uh, how is that any of your business? So you want to team up like some dynamic father/son duo? Well, stronger together, as they say. Valentin? Excuse me. I have a meeting with my attorney. Yeah, by all means. Just think about my offer. Alright, before we discuss elq, there’s something you should know, and I want you to hear it from me. Oh, dear. That does sound ominous.

[ Exhales sharply ] I have just agreed… …to represent peter august. Hey. You again? Yeah. So, I didn’t hear any bells or whistles, so I’m going to assume that peter’s still breathing. Right? I have to get back to work. Can you just give me, like, one second here? Come sit — come sit with me for, like, one tiny little second.

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ] Do you feel better? ‘Cause I’m sitting? No, because you confronted peter. Yeah, I do.

[ Chuckles ] I could tell my words really hurt him. And… felt good to see him in pain. I totally get it. You don’t think I’m a horrible person? No, not at all. Not even a little bit. We make a great team, alexis. You know we do. The fact that I’m sitting here, a free man, says it all. Come on, just…

[Exhales sharply] …Just think about it before you say no. I will. Need you to work on her for me. Alexis: I heard that.

[ Sighs ] I’m going to take a moment, I’m going to think about it, so don’t try to talk me into anything. Okay, okay. But just listen, please. You’ve been very clear that you don’t think that you’re qualified for the job — because I’m not. Okay. But do you want the job? Tracy, have you heard about luke? We’re so sorry.

[ Whispers ] Thank you.

[ Normal voice ] I know it’s a loss for you, as well. Well, we had a whole lot of memories, but nothing compares to what the two of you shared.

[ Baby fusses ] Were you in austria when it happened? I was not. And I’m sure you can imagine how much I regret that. Ooh! Someone needs to be changed. Okay. You know what? I’m going to go with you so that my mom and tracy can talk. That’s a great idea. She smells like roses. Then what are we doing out here? Well, I-I have to tell you something, something that you’re not going to like. What? My grandmother knows that

[Sighs] Bailey isn’t mine. Felicia, is something wrong? Oh, I…I’m just worried that being around bailey might be painful for maxie. Why? Well, since her daughter’s still missing… oh, I’m so sorry. I heard about that. That must be hard on you and mac, as well. Yeah, it’s terrible. Mac and I never got to meet our granddaughter. She was taken just after maxie gave birth. Any lead on her whereabouts? No. I-I have to believe in my heart that louise will be found safe. But after seven months…

[ Crying ] Seven months? Yeah. So brook lynn and maxie’s babies are the same age? Yeah. Oh, that must make it particularly hard.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Yeah.

Thank you. You’re welcome. This better not be decaf, oh, please, I’m not a monster. You get to go home soon, don’t you? Uh, I’m — I’m not in a rush. I don’t — don’t really have anything waiting for me at the metro court. You live in a hotel?Yeah, never have to make a bed.

[ Chuckles ] That’s true. Yeah. And to be honest, I just — I-I do better at work. My social life is… lacking. Hmm. I’ve been in port charles for like six months, and I barely know anybody outside of G.H.

[ Chuckles ] That’s funny. Why? Are you laughing at me? What’S…? No, no, it’s — it’s not. It’s just that, if you’re really lonely, I know a matchmaker. You do not. I do. No way! My mother signed me up for a matchmaking service — as a christmas present, no less. Wow, that’s — wow. Yeah, it’s pretty bad. She’s — she’s really obsessed with the “get out there and meet someone” nonsense, you know?

[ Chuckling ] Yeah.

[ Sighs ] You know what I think? What? I think that’s exactly what you should do. Yes. Everything that he just said about that invader job actually appeals to me. Except? Except I don’t know what I’m doing. Okay. That’s okay. It’s a new job. Nobody knows what they’re doing. No. You just — y-you’ll learn. Don’t be glib. I’m not, mom. When — when you boil it down, aren’t opening and closing statements just appeals for justice…

[ Chuckling ] Y-yes, but that’s entirely — …to get the jury to do the right thing? Honey, that’s in a courtroom. So? You’re an amazing public speaker. All you have to do is put it down on paper. Do you really think I can do this? I believe in you.

You need to believe in it, too. Wait, wait, wait, wait! Tracyknows that bailey is louise?! No, no, no, no, no, no, no. She just knows that bailey isn’t mine. How? I’m so sorry. But right before you and i came up with a plan, I — I told her that I’m faking my pregnancy. What? You didn’t think to tell me this until now? Oh, I’m sorry that my grandmother all the way in amsterdam knew I was faking my pregnancy.

[ Whispering ] No, I didn’t! This is bad, brook lynn. Don’t panic. Okay, it’s too late for that. What if tracy figures this out? She won’T. Why would she? No one else has. Because no one is as sneaky as tracy, or as suspicious. I remember the first time I met him.

[ Laughs ] Luke? Yeah.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. It, uh, was unforgettable. I mean… you certainly knew how to make a dramatic entrance. Like to make a splash? No one ever did it better.

[ Chuckles ] Except maybe luke did it better. Yeah, he — he certainly lived life to the fullest. He was a very loyal friend. He really helped me when — when we first thought that robin was — at that time, remember? You know… I wouldn’t have made it through that. I mean, literally.

[ Voice breaking ] We don’t get to say goodbye. No. I mean…

[Sniffles] …It doesn’t really surprise me, because luke was always on the move. You know? With no time or patience for sentimentality. On the surface, perhaps. God. I’m really gonna miss him. So am I. That’s why you were late? You were taking on a new client who absolutely deserves to be behind bars? He has a right to his defense, just like everyone else. You don’t have to be the one who provides it. How much is he paying you? Valentin, please, I have bills to pay. Mother’s care is extremely expensive. It’s not like cyrus is going to cover it anymore. I couldn’t work for months when I was in witness protection. On top of everything else, I got to pay alimony three times over. I have to go. Oh, so that’s it? I’m to be punished? You were late. I have somewhere else to be. Well, then, what about our meeting? I guess we’ll have to reschedule.

[ Elevator doors whir ] Oop! Room for one more?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Machinery whirring ] So, you, uh, given any more thought to my helping you put brook lynn in her place? Why should I work with you, victor? We have a common enemy. Brook lynn’s never done anything to you. She disrespected the cassadine name. That affects all of us, and there have to be consequences. And I want a relationship with my son. So what do you say? We work together to right this terrible wrong?

I know family is important to you, valentin, as it is to me. So let’s start acting like one, hmm? The fact is, brook lynn used you. She lied to you. I cannot believe that doesn’t make you furious. Of course I’m furious. Then accept my help.

[ Sighs ] You know where to find me. Wait. What do you have in mind? Thank you both for coming. It means a lot. Of course. I’m really so sorry about luke. And you. You are getting so big and so beautiful.

[ Laughs ] Oh, you must be over the moon.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I really am.

[ Door closes ]

[ Cellphone rings, beeps ] Okay, tell me you have good news for me. I think so. You’ll take the job at the invader? If we are going to turn this paper into a mission for justice, I am in. Well, hot damn. Well, when can you start? Mom. You know what? I’m sorry. I-I-I overstepped. Uh, what I was just trying to express was that I trust my daughter’s judgment, michael. So do I. Which is why you’re standing in this house despite what happened with my sister. I hope that you know that, um, I’ve changed a lot since then. And all I really want is a relationship with my family, michael. For your sake, I hope that’s true. I-I’m sorry — you think I need a matchmaker? Oh, no, no, no, no. Please, no, like, 100% no. Thank god! I just…

[ Chuckles ] If you’re looking for a wingman and… I’m trying to figure out my personal life in port charles, too, so, I’m volunteering. You’re volunteering. I’m volunteering. Come on, if we’re in it together, how bad can it be? Shh, you still hungry, sweetie?

[ Baby fussing ] I thought so. Okay, I’m going to make you bottle. You watch her for a sec? Of course. Are you sure? ‘Cause I could bring her up to the nanny — oh, please.

[ Scoffs ] Brook lynn, I managed to raise your father and your uncle. I can be alone with an infant for five minutes. And just to be clear, if she needs anything, I’m calling you. Got it. [ Scoffs ]

[ Baby coos ] Well, you’ve had an interesting life so far, haven’t you, bailey? Should I call you louise?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nicole: Oh, this should have never have happened to you, old buddy.

[Sighs] Thanks for always being there when I needed you.

[Knocking on door] Ugh, what are you doing here?

Ej: I thought we needed to talk.

Nicole: Well, now’s not a good time. I’m mourning the death of a friend.

Ej: I thought I tossed him months ago.

Nicole: You did, and you know what? As it turns out, the one who should have been tossed is you.

Ava: Let me get this straight. Somebody cut the head off of that bear that you and nicole passed back and forth, and… you think it was me?

Rafe: Was it?

[Tense music]

Ava: [Chuckles]

[Scissors snap] Why would I do a thing like that to something that means so much to you and nicole?

Rex: Oh, sorry about…that.

Xander: There’s no harm done. Actually, matter of fact, can I buy you a beer?

Rex: [Sighs]

Gwen: You’re working on a story about sarah horton?

Abigail: I just decided. Yeah, aunt maggie hasn’t been able to reach sarah, and she’s starting to think that something might really be wrong, because her phone is no longer in service.

Jennifer: Okay, so that is why xander stopped by steve and kayla’s when we were there.

Jack: Steve had just agreed to take another case, so i assume he’s not gonna be able to help find sarah.

Abigail: Well, then I guess it’s up to me to find her.

Gwen: What? Why on earth would you do that?

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Kate: Well, I’ve seen power change hands here once or twice. I’d advise you not to be too cocky.

Chad: Wait, ej was the one that was cocky. No, I’m not gonna feel guilty for enjoying his downfall. He brought it on himself.

Kate: So, you think that he arranged for sami’s kidnapping?

Chad: Well, I mean, it sure looks that way based on the evidence.

Kate: Yeah, the evidence you found in the company ledgers and promptly brought to shin?

Chad: And I would’ve been negligent if I hadn’T. Ej was using company funds to pay for a personal vendetta.

Kate: Yeah, well, I mean, that just seems so incredibly stupid and, you know, easily traceable. You know, kinda surprising. Added to the fact that the discovery was so conveniently timed.

Chad: Are you accusing me of cooking the books to get ej?

Ej: So, you’re still angry with me?

Nicole: [Chuckles] Why would I be angry? Hm? Just because you unceremoniously dumped me behind my back? Ugh! But you know what? I really don’t wanna get into that right now, because like I said, now is not a good time.

Ej: Because you’re mourning a stuffed animal?

Nicole: At least he had sentimental value.

Ej: [Chuckles] Clearly. After I threw him in the trash, you, what, fished him out?

Nicole: Yeah, I fished him out. And who the hell are you to throw something out that belongs to me?

Ej: The bear was a connection between you and rafe, a connection you said you wanted to break. I thought you meant it.

Nicole: Oh, and I thought you meant it when you said you were done with samantha. But I guess you took her back in, even though she cheated on you. I guess–I guess she does have some redeeming qualities, right? I mean, she’s obnoxious and self-absorbed, and not to mention, she likes to behead stuffed animals.

Ej: [Laughs] You think samantha’s responsible for that?

Nicole: Who else would do something so loony? I’m telling you, that woman is starting to scare the hell out of me.

Ava: I really don’t know why you would think I would destroy a cute little stuffed bear. He never did anything to me.

Rafe: It’s not him. It’s what he represents.

Ava: Which is?

Rafe: My friendship with nicole. You know, you haven’t exactly made it a secret that it bothers you.

Ava: You and nicole keep telling me I don’t have anything to worry about, and I believe you.

Rafe: Okay. Good.

Ava: Although if you think I mutilated poor old duke, then has something changed? Do I have a reason to be jealous?

Limu emu… & doug

Rex: Why would you wanna buy me a beer?

Xander: Well, the last time you and I ran into each other, we didn’t get to finish our conversation.

Rex: We did as far as I’m concerned.

Xander: Look, rex, I– I loved sarah, and I still don’t really understand what happened with you two, so…

[Sighs] Come on, it’s one beer. What could be the harm?

Abigail: Sarah’s my cousin, gwen. She’s family. Why shouldn’t I help find her?

Gwen: [Sighs] I mean, you’re–you’re a reporter, you’re not a private detective.

Abigail: Well, I can draw attention to the fact that nobody knows where sarah is, not even her own mother.

Gwen: She’s a grown woman, right? She’s a doctor, isn’t she? I mean, she said to rex that– that she–she wanted to have time to work on herself. Obviously that means that she wanted to have that time to work alone.

Abigail: Gwen, that was almost a year ago.

Gwen: Yeah, but, you know, when you’re having a difficult time, you don’t wanna tell your mum all the details, do you? Why imagine the worst?

Abigail: I promised aunt maggie that I would try to find out where sarah is, and I intend to live up to that promise.

Gwen: Oh, please, that is not what this is about, and you know it. You were just trying to get back at me.

Rafe: Ava, you have nothing to worry about. Nicole and I, we’re just– we’re old friends. That’s all.

Ava: Okay, so, why corner me about the bear?

Rafe: Listen, you said that you were going to basic black the other day to see nicole.

Ava: To invite her over for new year’s eve. And when I got there, she was out, so I left, without laying a hand on the bear.

Rafe: Okay, okay, fine. I’m sorry, all right. It’s just, uh, I’m a cop. You had means, opportunity.

Ava: But no motive. Nicole has been a really good friend to me, and you are the man that I love. I would never do anything to hurt either one of you. And I know that neither one of you would do anything to hurt me.

Ej: Believe me, I know samantha can be vindictive. I just can’t imagine her taking her revenge on a stuffed animal.

Nicole: Well, sami doesn’t want me to forget how much she hates me.

Ej: I think she conveys that rather clearly with her words.

Nicole: [Scoffs] Okay, you don’t wanna take me seriously, fine, but don’t come crying to me when you find a horse’s head in your bed some night.

Ej: If you really think samantha did this, I’ll just ask her.

Nicole: [Chuckles]

Ej: [Clears throat] As soon as we’re on speaking terms again.

Nicole: Well, that won’t be for a while. Sami left town.

Ej: Excuse me?

Nicole: Oh, you didn’t know? Sami packed up and rode off into the sunset with lucas by her side.

Kate: I mean, ej’s a lot of things, but he’s very rarely careless. I find it very hard to believe that he would leave a paper trail for you to follow.

Chad: Well, kate, it’s not like the, uh–it’s not like the payments were in a file labeled “samantha’s kidnapping,” right? There was a–a fair amount of digging that was involved.

Kate: Uh-huh. So what prompted that digging?

Chad: Well, uh, the kidnapper told the cops that–that, uh, ej was the mastermind, so, for the sake of the company, I decided to find out if it was true. I wasn’t gonna let him take all of us down with him.

Kate: I see. Well, I mean, that makes sense, you know. [Chuckles] But I don’t believe it. So why don’t you just tell me the truth? You planted the evidence, didn’t you?

Abigail: Gwen. [Scoffs] I wanna find my cousin, okay? This has nothing to do with you.

Gwen: But it has everything to do with xander, okay? The man that I love. Now, he was hurt terribly by sarah, and all of this is just gonna stir up all those memories again.

Jack: Wait a minute, let me see if I hear you correctly. You are saying that abigail should forget that sarah’s missing and make no effort to help locate her, because you’re thinking that it’ll make it easier for xander?

Gwen: Yes, he’s gonna have to read about it in the paper, in “the spectator” every day, and what good is that gonna do? It’s just a local paper anyway.

Abigail: A big story like that could get picked up by a chicago paper.

Jack: Or the wire service!

Gwen: What big story? Come on. Sarah decided at the last minute that she did not want to marry xander.

Abigail: And that’s the reason that he’s with you now.

Gwen: How dare you?

Abigail: That’s why you don’t want sarah to be found.

Gwen: Oh, my god. Do you hear that? Do you hear that? She’s out to get me.

Abigail: Ugh, you always think that I’m the source of all your problems.

Gwen: Because you are always trying to undermine me. You are always trying to keep me from the people that I love. You first did it with our father…

Jack: That is not true!

Gwen: And now you’re doing it with xander, and I will be damned if I let you succeed.

Rex: And when sarah and i met up to go to the airport, she dumped me, just like I told you before.

Xander: Do you remember her exact words?

Rex: She said that she realized that she was not prepared to spend the rest of her life with any man, that she just needed some time to figure out what she did want.

Xander: I mean, it just doesn’t make any sense. All right, the night I left sarah before the wedding, we were so happy. We couldn’t wait to get married. And then she torpedoed all of that to be with you. And then what? The next day she does another 180? I mean, that’s not the sarah I know.

Rex: I don’t– I don’t understand it either. But I’ll tell you this, she had her mind made up. She basically warned me not to come looking for her.

Xander: This whole situation is…

Rex: Bizarre?

Xander: Right? Especially when you factor in the whole kristen, susan bit.

Rex: What are you talking about?

Xander: [Sighs]

Rafe: Why don’t we just go on home, okay?

Ava: Okay, you know what? I think that you owe me an apology first, ’cause I am offended that you would think that I would do something so deranged.

Rafe: Okay. Okay, you’re right. All right, I’m sorry, okay? I am sorry that, uh, I was suspicious of you.

Ava: Thank you.

Rafe: You know what? For whatever it’s worth, nicole thinks it’s sami that did it, and she’s probably right.

Ava: Huh. You know, now that you mention it, I did see a bottle blonde getting onto the elevator as I was leaving. I didn’t get a close look, but I suppose it could’ve been sami.

Rafe: Oh, yeah? Do you remember what time it was?

Ava: No. Why do you ask?

Rafe: ‘Cause there’s security cameras all over that building, so maybe I can get a closer look at, uh, whatever you saw.

Ej: Samantha… and lucas?

[Scoffs] You must be joking.

Nicole: Rafe heard it from allie. And she said that sami decided that she wants to be with lucas. You know, her first love. So they left town so they could be alone together.

Ej: I–I can’t believe this. I–I mean, I knew samantha was upset with me, but to go running back to lucas?

Nicole: Oh, yeah. It kinda reminds me of– of our situation, you know, you running back to sami. The only difference is I really don’t care. In fact, I’m relieved to be rid of you.

Ej: It’s insane.

Nicole: That I’m relieved to be rid of you?

Ej: That samantha went back to lucas. He was the one who had had her kidnapped.

Nicole: According to the police, that would be you.

Ej: You said you believed me.

Nicole: I also believed you when you said that you were done with sami and you wanted to be with me, but, what– what the hell do I know, right?

Ej: I did not have samantha kidnapped. It was lucas. That little weasel set me up.

Nicole: You got any proof?

Ej: No, but I–

Nicole: No, no, yeah. Well, I guess the evidence is piling up. And the dimera board thinks so too now that you’re out of a job.

Ej: [Chuckles] The latest so-called evidence is nothing but a pack of lies that were manufactured by my own brother.

Chad: I had no reason to plant the evidence. Really?

Kate: Hm.

Chad: Kate, you think that I’m that vindictive?

Kate: [Laughs] Well, I mean, I do know that you were very bothered by the fact that ej was able to worm his way into johnny’s movie, which meant that he would’ve been having sex scenes with abigail.

Chad: Yeah, and he did that to get under my skin.

Kate: It worked. So, framing ej would be perfect payback.

Chad: Yep, you are right. After everything ej has done, I would be completely justified in planting the evidence against him. But I didn’T. So, maybe this conversation should just be over then.

Kate: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is a very dangerous game that you’re playing, because if ej can prove what you’ve done–

Chad: He can’t, because I didn’t!

Kate: [Sighs] I want you to swear on your father’s grave that you’re telling me the truth. Oh! I knew it. I knew it.

Chad: Okay, you know what? Yeah, fine, you know what? Yeah, the evidence was planted. But guess what, it wasn’t by me. It was by lucas. That’s right, it was your son. -We are here! -For new homeowners,

Jack: Gwen? Gwen? Would you please calm down? Abigail is not trying to come between you and xander.

Gwen: God, you’re taking her side. Why am I not surprised?

Jack: I’m not taking anyone’s side. This is a bad situation. We’re very worried that something terrible might have happened to sarah.

Abigail: I swear to you, I am only looking into sarah’s disappearance because I’m genuinely worried about her.

Ava: And if it wasn’t for the two of us, right, she’d be in statesville right now. She’s not gonna double-cross us.

Gwen: I helped her escape, because she said to me that if I didn’t, she would go and tell xander where sarah is. If she finds her–

Ava: Okay, I’m telling you, no one is gonna find her, okay? You don’t need to worry.

Abigail: I–I–I think I should go now, so…

Jennifer: Uh…

Jack: Um…

Abigail: That little paper in boston is so lucky to be getting the two of you. I hope you have a wonderful time. Make it successful again. And just remember your promise that you’re both coming back here soon?

Jennifer: Absolutely, baby.

Jack: Absolutely, and you tell the kids again how much we love them, and please bring them out to see us.

Abigail: Of course, yeah, as soon as you get settled, so…

Jennifer: I love you so much, baby.

Abigail: I love you too.

Jack: Goodbye, sweetheart.

Abigail: Dad, see ya.

Jack: Love you.

Abigail: Sorry.

Jack: It’s all right.

Jennifer: Um, I’m gonna walk you out.

Jack: Okay.

[Sighs] Gwen? Gwen? What’s really going on here? Why are you so afraid that you’re gonna lose xander?

Xander: And while kristen was pretending to be susan, she tipped me off about you and sarah being in bed together.

Rex: Wait, so you didn’t know you were hearing it from kristen?

Xander: Yeah, not until susan told me a few weeks ago. I went straight to the police to have it out with kristen. I had to know if she had something to do with sarah leaving me.

Rex: Well, what did she say?

Xander: That she didn’T. That she only did it for the pure satisfaction of being the one to break the bad news to me.

Rex: That would be kristen.

Xander: I can’t believe i fell for her act.

Rex: Hm. She’s creative, I’ll give her that. You know, the dimera’s have this secret deserted island that they use to get rid of people permanently. Kristen was planning on shipping my mother off there.

Xander: What, she thought kate’s family wouldn’t notice that she was gone?

Rex: No, no, she had that covered too. She had this–this mask that made her look exactly like my mom. She wore my mom’s clothes. She showed up here to break up with jake dimera loudly. My dad was telling me that she wanted everyone in here to– to hear her say, “I’m through with jake, I’m through with salem, and I’m–I’m leaving town.”

Xander: So, the story would get around, and no one would ask any questions about where kate was, at least for a while?

Rex: Yep. It’s a nifty way to get rid of someone who figures out what you’re up to. You’re lucky it didn’t happen to you.

Kate: Nope, nope. Lucas wouldn’t do that, not even to ej.

Chad: Yep, I caught him red-handed. I walked in, and he was sitting at that computer.

Kate: He doesn’t have a password, chad.

Chad: He had yours, kate.

Kate: Ugh! Oh, my god.

Chad: Yep. He was the one that made it look like ej was using company funds to pay off sami’s kidnapper.

Kate: Are you sure?

Chad: I am positive. I confronted him. He said that it would be in both of our best interests if we let ej take the fall.

Kate: Oh, my god, so, he wanted ej out of the way so he’d have a chance with sami?

Chad: Mm-hmm.

Kate: Which actually worked, because sami turned her back on ej, and lucas and sami left salem this morning. I–

[Sighs] Oh, my god. But what I don’t get is why would lucas go through all the trouble of framing ej? I mean, they pressed charges against ej already for the kidnapping.

Chad: Well, he was charged, but I don’t think he’s guilty.

Kate: Okay, what does that mean?

Chad: It means that I’m pretty sure that the kidnapper was lucas.

Nicole: So, chad actually framed you, huh?

Ej: Do you honestly believe I’d be sloppy enough to leave a paper trail?

Nicole: No.

Ej: Chad concocted those payments to samantha’s kidnapper, so he could put the final nail in my coffin. He’s always wanted to run the company on his own. But he knew shin would never get rid of me.

Nicole: So, in your version of events, lucas kidnapped sami. Then why did the hired goon point the finger at you?

Ej: On lucas’s orders, I’m sure.

Nicole: And chad phonied up evidence to make you look guiltier?

[Chuckles] That is some conspiracy theory.

Ej: I’m telling you, I’m innocent. I didn’t have samantha kidnapped, so therefore I’d have no reason to make those payments.

Nicole: I don’t care…

Ej: [Scoffs]

Nicole: Okay? ‘Cause it’s over between us, both personally and professionally, and now that you’re out at dimera, I suggest you leave before I have you thrown out.

Ej: Not until I do what I came here to do.

Nicole: [Sighs] I shudder at what that would be.

Ej: I have to tell you how sorry I am for hurting you. I’m praying that you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me.

Ava: Sorry, rafe, I was– I was just rushing around. I have no idea what time I left nicole’s office.

Rafe: That’s okay. It’s fine. Actually, you know, all I have to do is look at the footage from the one camera that covers the elevator, and I’ll just– I’ll scroll through the last 24 hours.

Ava: Are you seriously gonna go to all that trouble over a stuffed bear?

Rafe: It could have been someone sending a message to nicole.

Ava: You just said yourself that it was probably sami, so, what are you gonna do if you see her on those tapes? Are you gonna arrest her?

Rafe: No, I’m not–no, I’m not gonna arrest her. I’m not gonna do anything, because she left town this morning.

Ava: Oh, well, then you better call the isa, because the stuffed bear killer is on the loose.

Rafe: Okay, I overreacted, all right? But cutting up that bear, it’s a little juvenile and petty, even for sami.

Ava: Excuse me? Nicole slept with sami’s husband.

Rafe: Estranged husband.

Ava: I don’t care. I mean, if you ask me, nicole is lucky sami didn’t do much worse.

[Tense music]

Trelegy for copd.

Rex: Well, look, I have a flight to catch, and I haven’t even packed yet.

Xander: Going back to chicago?

Rex: Yes, my doctors without borders tour is over.

Xander: I just wanna thank you for making the time to talk to me. Wasn’t that bad, right?

Rex: Beer makes you easier to take.

Xander: Rex? If you hear from her, will you let me know?

Rex: I will. You do the same?

Xander: Deal.

Rex: I hope you find sarah. You deserve to get some answers.

Xander: [Sighs]

Gwen: I was awful to abigail.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, you were.

Gwen: It’s just that… I have never, ever loved anyone the way that I love xander. And nobody has ever had my back the way that he does. And, well, he makes me laugh, which is why I’m so scared of– I’m so scared of losing him.

Jack: Why? Why is that? I mean, it seems like the two of you have a really good thing going.

Gwen: He told me how much he loved sarah. He told me all about her. And if she were to come back into the picture–

Jack: Whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait–there is something really important that you need to remember. Sarah dumped xander on the morning of their wedding, and when she did it, she told him the reason was because she realized that she could never forgive him for switching her baby with kristen’S. And you need to understand that even if sarah does come back, that’s not the sort of thing you can just forget. Why don’t you just calm down and believe that everything’s gonna work out just fine? You have nothing to worry about.

Kate: You think lucas had sami kidnapped? Lucas?

Chad: Yes, lucas. He basically admitted it.

Kate: [Stammers] Why? Why would–why?

Chad: Why? To keep sami away from ej. What do you think? You know–you know how much lucas loves sami, and love makes you do really crazy stuff.

Kate: No, no, no, no, no, no, I–no, I–no. I don’t believe it.

Chad: Look, I know that it’s hard right now, especially after what happened with philip.

Kate: What do you mean by that?

Chad: Well, you know, one son went missing, and then the other one kidnapped his ex-wife. So, must be a very hard time for you.

Kate: It is a hard time for me, because this means that I’ve failed two sons.

Chad: Well, I mean… I’m not gonna tell anybody. So, the truth never has to come out.

Kate: Yeah, well, maybe it should.

Nicole: Thank you for your apology. But as far as me forgiving you, that’s gonna be a hard no.

Ej: I know I made a mistake.

Nicole: Oh, a mistake? You humiliated me in front of sami, and you let her prance around and gloat that you chose her over me again.

Ej: Everything was happening so fast.

Nicole: Oh, okay. Sami said that you ripped up the divorce papers before you were arrested. Was she lying?

Ej: No, I–

Nicole: No, no. Okay, do you remember christmas day? Remember me taking time away from my daughter to come see you in jail? Do you remember the very long conversation we had about, “who could possibly have railroaded you”? And do you remember in that conversation, we were talking about sami being kidnapped, and it didn’t occur to you to tell me that you weren’t gonna get a divorce?

Ej: I was focused on proving my innocence.

Nicole: Oh, and you couldn’t stop thinking about yourself long enough to tell me that you were gonna work it out with your wife?

Ej: I realize now that was wrong of me.

Nicole: Congratulations. I know. I know why you kept your mouth shut about sami. Just in case she dumped you. Well, she did. And now you’ve come crawling back to me. Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, because I sure as hell will not be your consolation prize. Hi susan! Honey?

Jack: Let’s not forget that xander found sarah in bed with rex on the morning of what was supposed to be their wedding, and she told him she wanted him out of her life. Why would he want her back now?

Gwen: Why wouldn’t he?

Jack: [Laughs] Because he cares deeply for you. He covered for you when that whole mess came up about the drug running.

Gwen: He did that for you. He did, he–he–he wanted you to think well of me.

Jack: You don’t know that.

Gwen: Yes, I do. He told me.

Jack: That man was ready to go back to prison for you. For you. He wouldn’t give up his freedom for some girl he cares nothing about. I know him. I know how deeply he loves you. There’s nothing in the world, not even sarah, that’s gonna change that.

Ava: Oh, hey, did you get a warrant for sami brady’s arrest?

Rafe: No, I resisted that temptation.

Ava: Mm? Well, you were gone a long time.

Rafe: Yeah, well, I was getting you this.

Ava: [Chuckles] You already apologized.

Rafe: I did. I just wanted you to know I’m really sorry. I jumped all over you, and I made you feel like I didn’t trust you.

Ava: Yeah, well, most people don’t trust me, so, I’m used to it.

Rafe: Sorry, it’s just, uh, someone breaking into nicole’s office and destroying her personal property just made me uneasy.

Ava: Well, I wouldn’t worry about nicole too much. That’s one woman who knows how to take care of herself.

Ej: I–I should’ve told you I was thinking of reconciling with samantha. It was disrespectful and dishonest.

Nicole: And don’t forget cowardly and craven.

Ej: Hm. The whole thing was a major lapse in judgment. I–I never should have torn up those divorce papers. I shouldn’t have even entertained the thought of getting back together with her.

Nicole: [Scoffs]

Ej: But it did accomplish one thing. It made me realize that you’re the one I truly want.

Nicole: [Chuckles] Oh, yeah. Because sami dumped you for lucas.

Ej: I don’t want you because samantha is with him. I want you because you’re an extraordinary woman.

Nicole: Oh, please, would you just stop it? Please just stop. Do you know how many times I have heard that? Oh, sure, sure, you want me right now, but ultimately you will choose sami. Eric wanted me, but ultimately he chooses god. And rafe! Rafe wants me too, but you know what? In the end, he’s choosing ava. Do you know how sick and tired I am of men wanting it both ways? When is someone gonna put me first?

Ej: Nicole–

Nicole: You know what, no, just, mm–just leave, okay?

Ej: No, I think we should talk about this.

Nicole: I don’t want to talk about it. I’m calling security.

Ej: Please don’t do that. Please.

Nicole: Fine. You stay. I’ll leave.

Kate: I mean, of course I don’t wanna betray lucas. I mean, that is the last thing I wanna do. But to frame ej? I mean, he didn’t do this.

Chad: Okay, look, lucas finally has everything that he’s wanted for so long. He has sami back. Yet if you take that away from him, he is never gonna forgive you. I mean, ever. And more importantly, you’re probably gonna be sending him to prison, or bayview if–if he plans on, you know, pleading temporary insanity. Would you really do that to your own son?

Kate: No! Of course I wouldn’T.

Chad: Okay.

Kate: I mean, really? The point is are we gonna send ej to prison for something he didn’t do? I mean, actually he doesn’t deserve that.

Chad: Look, sure, ej may not have kidnapped sami, but it’s not like he is some noble, wonderful guy. I mean, you know damn well that he’s ruthless and corrupt, and he’s caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. You think lucas is– is a good guy, right? I mean, sure, he went off the rails a little bit with this whole kidnapping thing, but he did it for love. He’s a–he’s a devoted father and a loving son. I mean…

Kate: [Sighs]

Chad: Or do you disagree?

Kate: No, I don’t disagree.

Chad: Okay, then. But, kate, please, keep what I told you a secret. Can you do that? Woman: I have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Rafe: So can we get past this? Can you forgive me for acting like a jerk?

Ava: [Chuckles] No, I can’T. You can take your apology and shove it!

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: Ava? Ava, did you hear me? Do you forgive me?

Ava: Yes, of course I forgive you.

[Both chuckle]

Rafe: Aww.

[Soft tense music]

Jennifer: Is everything okay in here?

Gwen: [Clears throat] Yes, um, I just wanted to say that I’m sorry for how I– I treated abigail. I’m– I know today has been a very difficult day for the three of you, and I’ve made it a lot harder.

Jack: If you need anything, you need me to stick around? Put off the flight to boston.

Jennifer: Yeah, we can.

Gwen: No, you don’t need to do that. And I promise I will stay out of abigail’s way.

Jack: If you need anything, call me.

Gwen: Thanks, jack.

Jack: You can call me dad.

Gwen: [Chuckles] Thanks, dad.

Jack: Thanks.

[Inhales deeply]

[Exhales sharply]

Ava: Okay, well, best be going then.

Jack: You remember what I told you. Sarah made her choice. She left xander of her own free will, and he knows it.

Abigail: What are you doing here?

Xander: Well, maggie said that you were maybe looking into what happened with sarah?

Abigail: Right, yeah, I am.

Xander: I wanna help.

Abigail: You know, I was gonna call you, actually. I’m hoping that you’ll tell me everything you remember about the day that sarah left town.

Xander: I was just talking to rex about that day. He was probably the last person to see her.

Abigail: Tell me everything that you know.

Xander: [Sighs]

Kate: If I keep lucas’s secret, and roman finds out that I let sami leave town with her kidnapper, he’s never gonna forgive me.

Chad: Whoa, okay, first of all, you keep calling lucas her kidnapper. You–you know as well as I do that–that lucas would never hurt sami. I mean, he’s crazy about her. And secondly, you know, you’re worried about roman finding out the truth, so, you’re gonna choose your own happiness over your own son, your own blood?

Kate: That’s not fair at all. I’m thinking of lucas too, chad.

Chad: Yeah? How?

Kate: How? Lucas kidnapped sami. He kept her a prisoner for a long time. That’s not like him. He might need professional help.

Chad: Well, you know, he didn’t seem unbalanced at all when I talked to him.

Kate: [Sighs]

Chad: You–you know as well as I do that sami’s in a sick relationship with ej, so, in my opinion, just in my opinion, I think he did what it–what it took to break ej’s hold on sami, you know, because he loves her so much. So if roman finds out, you just– you just tell him that. The best thing that you can do for lucas is just pretend that we never had this conversation.

Kate: Really? I don’t think I can keep quiet about this.

Ej: Keep quiet about what? I’d be very interested to know.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: Vodka.

[Gasping]

Deacon: Morning sunshine.

Hope: Mom? Mom? You okay?

Brooke: Oh, hi, honey.

Hope: I was just wondering if you had seen dad because I haven’t heard from him and I thought maybe you might know why.

[Knocking]

Taylor: Yeah.

Assistant: Dr. Hayes?

Taylor: Yeah?

Assistant: There’s somebody here to see you.

Taylor: I don’t have any patients today, who is it?

Sheila: Hi. I said it was personal, maybe i just didn’t make myself clear.

Taylor: Sheila, this is a surprise.

Ridge: Your mother is a smart woman, but inviting sheila to your house for christmas eve seems like it’s going to have consequences.

Steffy: Well, mom thinks if we give sheila some time with finn and the kids, it will diffuse her obsessive behavior.

Thomas: You know, she did leave. It’s not like she was hanging around.

Steffy: Thank god. I can’t stop thinking about her holding hayes. You have no idea how hard it was for me. Allowing my child to be put in that monster’s arms.

Thomas: Okay. But we were all right there. We weren’t going to let anything happen to hayes.

Ridge: You give that woman an inch and something will happen.

Steffy: Nobody was happy about sheila in the house. But I do trust mom on this. She’s the professional and she knows how obsessive personalities work.

Ridge: I’m sorry. The goal is still to get her out of our lives, right? Out of fin’s life? Out of hayes life? Reverse psychology doesn’t work with sheila. Your mom knows that. She’s insane. She’s crazy. At this point, she probably thinks that she’s friends with your mother.

Taylor: Thank you, audrey. I have a moment to speak with miss carter.

Sheila: Ms. Carter. Very formal. Dr. Hayes.

Taylor: Well, this is my place of business. What can I do for you, sheila?

Sheila: Well, I do show up unannounced and you’re probably wondering why?

Taylor: Yes. I am.

Sheila: You can’t figure it out. You’re a very perceptive woman, taylor. World renowned psychiatrist. I mean, your insight to the human psyche… you really have no idea why I’m here?

Brooke: Why would I know where deacon is?

Hope: Well, i just– I hadn’t seen him since he was over here and I thought, you might know.

Brooke: No. No, I don’T.

Hope: Oh, okay. Well, we had left before he did. I didn’t even get a chance to ask him what his plans were for the night. Actually mom, he came over the other day and liam and him, they had a good talk.

Brooke: Honey. Deacon is your father and you want him in your life. And I can understand that. You want to spend time with him. You want him to see the kids. That’s your choice. But I am no longer comfortable having him here in this house.

Hope: You’re no longer comfortable. Mom- why? What– what happened? What changed? Kim is now demonstrating her congestion.

Ridge: I’m not saying your mother made a mistake. She’s the expert.

Steffy: She thinks fighting sheila the way we have been will only make things worse.

Thomas: Well, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, right ?

Ridge: Well, that saying doesn’t work with sheila because she is psychotic.

Thomas: It doesn’t matter how psychotic she is. We still had control of her on christmas eve.

Steffy: Yeah, sheila wasn’t going to get away with anything.

Ridge: She did get away with something, honey. She was in your house and that doesn’t sit right with me.

Steffy: You and me, both. My stomach was in knots, but finn and I were on high alert.

Ridge: That’s not what christmas should be. It is a time of celebrating.

Steffy: She didn’t show up on new year’S.

Ridge: That’s good news, right? At least she wasn’t invited for that.

Steffy: She didn’t ask to come.

Thomas: Seems like mom made the right call then.

Ridge: Maybe she did. I’m glad you guys had a good time. I, for one, did not because I didn’t make it home to spend new year’s with brooke. She was there. With hope and her family. Deacon.

Thomas: Oh, come on. You had to be kind of glad to miss that, right?

Ridge: No. And brooke just hasn’t been the same since I got home.

Steffy: So, she’s upset because you weren’t there?

Ridge: I don’t know. It’s something else, I don’t know what it is.

Steffy: I know you’re worried about brooke being irked with you. But I would be more concerned about what brooke is going to do about deacon.

>Ridge: Hmm. I’ll see you later.

Thomas: Does dad seem more concerned than he’s letting on?

Steffy: Well, dad wouldn’t have any reason to be worried if he wasn’t with brooke.

Taylor: Why don’t you just tell me why you’re here sheila? There’s no reason to play games.

Sheila: Games? I know what you’re doing taylor. I know… the person that you are, the doctor that you are, and I never could have imagined that your legendary kindness and caring would extend to someone like me. You’re a remarkable person. And that you– you’re showing sympathy and– and letting me in. Giving me a chance. That is something that your nemesis brooke, never would allow to happen.

Brooke: I can’t tell you what to do in your own life, hope. But I can’t have deacon here.

Hope: Okay. But can you at least tell me why? Because I don’t understand the sudden change in attitude.

Brooke: I’ve always had reservations about your reunion.

Hope: Reservations that i had thought you put behind you.

Brooke: Honey, I have been as accepting as I can. Up to a point.

Hope: Okay, okay, wait, wait, stop. Because now you’re starting to sound like ridge. Did he say something when he got home? Did he actually have– he had a problem with deacon being over here, didn’t he? He did something. He said something.

Brooke: No, no, he didn’t do anything. And he’s not angry about anything. I’m angry, at myself

Hope: For what?

Brooke: It’s not ridge, honey. It’s not. It’s me. It’s me.

Brooke: I should have gone away with ridge, like he wanted.

Hope: Is that why you’re so upset? Did ridge make you feel bad about staying home?

Brooke: No. He’s been very patient and very understanding.

Hope: Okay. So then what? Because you seemed like you were having a good time new year’s eve. I mean, we were all enjoying ourselves.

Brooke: Of course, we were, honey. I love spending time with my family, with my children, with my grandchildren. But I can’t risk alienating ridge. I love him too much. And, you know, he’s had concerns.

Hope: Yeah, concerns about my dad.

Brooke: Look, if you want your father in your life, that is your choice. But I can’t have him or his influence in mine.

Hope: All right, if you say that’s what you need, then fine. But… I don’t understand where this change is coming from, but you have been really supportive and really understanding. So, I don’t want to push it. But I know you, mom. I saw the two of you getting along. So… this just… doesn’t feel right.

Steffy: You think I should let it go, don’t you?

Thomas: Look, dad’s committed to brooke.

Steffy: Maybe he always will be. I can’t help hoping that dad will just wake up and realize he made a mistake. He would be so much happier living a scandal free, drama free life with mom.

Taylor: Brooke, isn’t my nemesis.

Sheila: Okay. What, adversary, rival, thorn in your side?

Taylor: Or maybe for you. I’m sensing some resentment.

Shelia: It’s because I do resent her. I mean her cruel, you know, vicious attitude toward me. What I really resent is all of the hard work that I have done. Completely ignored.

Taylor: All the work you’ve done on yourself?

Sheila: Yes. Yes, I’m trying my best to practice as much acceptance and accountability as I can. And it’s really the only way to move forward, to be honest. You know, to accept my decisions and… and when I have wronged people and I’ve hurt them, I need to apologize for that. And that’s what I’ve been trying to do. And brooke just won’t hear it.

Taylor: Okay, I– I hear you. You sound frustrated.

Sheila: That’s because I am. I just want to prove myself. I want people to see that my priorities have changed.

Taylor: And what are those priorities?

>Sheila: I just want to start over. I– you know– I want to– I want to be a better person, make a better life for myself. Isn’t that what new year’s is all about anyway? Right? Renewal. New year’s, so you must have had a wonderful time, huh? Spending it with the family. Even though ridge couldn’t be there. I know he couldn’t be there for for brooke, either. He was out of town.

Taylor: Well, he did his best to get back.

Sheila: Well, did he? Did he make it back by midnight?

Taylor: No.

Sheila: Well that must have put a damper on brooke’s evening.

Deacon: Fall off the wagon

one night and get

right back on.

Brooke: That’s right.

[Sighing]

Ridge: Oh, good. I wasn’t sure you got my text.

Brooke: What text?

Ridge: My text saying that I was coming home. I just wanted to make sure you were here because I want to talk to you. About new year’s eve.

Brooke: What do you want to talk about?

Ridge: You haven’t been the same since I got back. So, I wanted to apologize for not… not being here and celebrating with you.

Brooke: You don’t have to apologize. I mean, do I wish you were here. Yes, more than you know. But I don’t blame you, ridge. I blame myself. I just– when you’re not around, it’s– everything’s different. I just lose all sense of stability.

Ridge: I am here now. We can celebrate now, we can celebrate tomorrow. We can go to paris. Go to milan. We can go to detroit and watch hockey, huh? What is it? What’s wrong? When they’re sick, they get comfortable anywhere

Taylor: I have no idea what brooke did on new year’s eve.

Sheila: Yeah, well, knowing brooke, she was by herself anything could happen, right? I mean, ridge was gone and brooke can’t do anything without a man next to her. Okay. All right. That wasn’t very nice of me. But in all honesty, she hasn’t been nice to either of us. Okay. I think that even if ridge were home, there’s no way she would have let him come to see you. And you’ve gotten used to spending holidays without ridge, but brooke hasn’T.

Taylor: I– sheila. I was fine. I was with my family.

Sheila: Yeah well, thanks to you, I– I got to experience that myself. But new year’s was a little different.

Taylor: Mm, you didn’t– you didn’t do anything special on new year’s?

Sheila: Well i had a few sips of champagne, and I just got started on some resolutions.

Taylor: Okay. Well, that doesn’t sound so bad.

Sheila: No. No, but I don’t need to tell you how difficult new year’s eve can be. I’m– everybody else going out having a good time. And no one to kiss when that clock strikes midnight. Especially if you’re lonely or depressed. I don’t have a drug or alcohol problem.

[Phone rings]

Taylor: I– I need to take this.

Sheila: Should I go?

Taylor: Um. Well, it’s not confidential. Unless you have someplace to be.

Sheila: No. No, I think I’ve done everything that I needed to.

Taylor: Yes. This is dr. Hayes. Oh, hi. Yes, I did.

Mm-hm. Oh, okay. And when is the appointment?

Ridge: Brooke. Hi. I know you. I know you better than I know myself. So, I know something is wrong. What is it?

Brooke: It’s not you, ridge. Not at all.

Ridge: I know I’ve had a rough time. It’s been bumpy. We’ve been out of sync. And I thought new year’s would be great for us to reconnect, you know, fresh start.

Brooke: And that’s what I wanted. More than anything.

Ridge: Me too. You got to know, I tried, I tried to be here. I wanted to be here.

Brooke: I know, I know. I don’t blame you. I don’T. It’s not your fault.

Ridge: Something happened, right? So, what is it? You can– you can tell me anything. You can share anything with me. You know that, right?

Brooke: I want to. I want to… be able to share with you, ridge. I mean, I need to come to terms with it. You’re right, something did happen on new year’s eve and… I really don’t know. I don’t know how it went so wrong.

Ridge: Hey. Tell me.

Brooke: I mean, we were all here, I was having a great time… with the kids. We were decorating, we were playing and then they went upstairs to watch tv.

Ridge: Deacon showed up.

Brooke: Yeah, hope invited him. He wanted to spend time with hope and with the kids.

Ridge: And he didn’t stay long?

Brooke: When the kids fell asleep, hope and liam took them down to the cabin. And deacon left. And I was here alone. And I was getting ready and looking forward to sharing new year’s eve with you. I really wanted that ridge and…

[Sighing]

Ridge: Go on.

Brooke: You’re going to be disappointed with me. I know because I’m disappointed with myself. And I don’t even know how it happened. I don’t even know how to explain it. But I need to. I was just looking forward to being with you at midnight. I thought that was really important for us after the year that we had and… and I messed up. I messed up and you need to know, ridge. – Oh…oh. – What’s going on?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Lily: [ Blows noisemaker ]

[ Chuckles ] I’d ask you what’s on your mind, but I think I already know, ’cause I’ve been thinking the same thing. Victoria and her demands.

Billy: Once she was onto us, there was no way to know how she was going to react. I didn’t expect this.

Lily: Well, I’ll tell you one thing, the woman sure knows what she wants.

Billy: Whole purpose of this plan was vindication. To get victor and adam to admit that they set me up.

Lily: Right, that’s the only reason why I went along with this plan to begin with.

Billy: Except now, for victor and adam to do that, they’re also going to have to admit that the allegations about ashland’s past are true.

Lily: Which victoria will never allow.

Billy: And I will not get my opportunity to expose victor and adam as the criminals they are.

Lily: Here’s a thought. Why don’t we just forget about the whole thing? Right? Just forget about the revenge plot. Let’s just move on with our lives.

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Lily: Come on, just at least consider it.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Oh. I guess you all had too much fun last night you couldn’t clean up.

Victoria: Phyllis.

[ Clears throat ] I hope you had a wonderful new year’s eve.

Phyllis: Yes, it was wonderful. You know, champagne and dinner. It was spectacular, actually.

Chelsea: I’m surprised to see you up and out so early.

Sally: I could say the same thing about you. Double espresso to go, please.

Chelsea: I had a quiet night at home. Now I’m just killing time while I wait to pick up connor. What about you? Did you ring in the new year in style? With anyone special?

Sally: Ta-da!

Adam: Was the emergency that you ran out of tape for the decorations or…?

Sally: The emergency is that it is almost midnight.

Adam: Right. And we said that we were not doing anything for new year’s eve.

Sally: Right. And as you can tell by the decor, we are not even acknowledging new year’S. All of the other holidays, sure, but there were no rules about that.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Okay, so this is a loophole.

Sally: Yes. But the clock is ticking, and we’re running out of time if we want to not celebrate before midnight.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: Wow. Looks like someone broke in and had a party.

Adam: Very funny. I was just working late.

Chloe: Really?

Adam: Yep. If the success of the platform means I have to put in some overtime, I’ll do it, ’cause it’s important to strike while the iron’s hot. Now’s the time to line up more ad sales and sponsors.

Chloe: Good answer. Though it’s a little hard to believe your nose was to the grindstone, given the caviar, the bottle of the vodka, and two glasses.

Adam: Chloe, I don’t need to explain myself to you, okay? Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Lily: What is so important that we have to meet victoria right now on new year’s day? Like, I don’t appreciate her ordering us around like this.

Billy: I hear you, believe me. I do not like the fact that clearing my name is now in victoria’s hands. But I’ve got to swallow my pride right now and think about the bigger picture. It’s still possible to get vindication if adam comes after me. And I hit him with a libel suit that cripples newman media, victoria takes over their company, and I get to run it.

Lily: What makes you so sure she’s gonna hold up her end of the bargain? I don’t think ashland’s gonna be too keen on you running his former media company.

Billy: I feel like I know victoria well enough to trust that she wouldn’t betray me in that way.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Right, well, I wish I were as sure as you are.

Billy: Lily, I’ve gone over all the options. This is still the best one.

Lily: Right, and when you say “all the options,” does that include you coming to chancellor with me?

Billy: I can’t do that.

Lily: Why not?

Billy: Because I need to earn that job. Because right now my reputation is in shambles, and if I go work with you at chancellor, it’s gonna feel like a hand-me-down, and I cannot stomach the fact that victor and adam are gonna get off scot free. At least this way it cripples newman media, okay? And they have to suffer the humiliation of watching me run their former company. So I’m gonna go meet with victoria. And I really hope that you come with me.

Victoria: You had a spectacular new year’s eve. Wow. Well [Clears throat] I would’ve thought that spending the holiday without nick, you know, it would’ve been hard, given that you’ve just broken up and, I mean, it was my brother’s birthday. Guess you move on pretty quickly, don’t you.

Phyllis: I’m resilient.

Victoria: Hmm. Well, you didn’t spend the evening with jack because I know he’s out of town. I wonder who you did spend it with. Maybe amanda. Mm, although devon probably wouldn’t have wanted you tagging along. Oh, lauren and michael. They let you be their third wheel, didn’t they?

Phyllis: When I was talking about my spectacular evening, i was referring to the hotel. We actually killed. We did very, very well. You know, I wasn’t here because I was having, you know, a fabulous dinner, but the feedback was great and it made me realize that all of my hard work has paid off. You know, our rooms are booked, the ballroom was packed. I had to hire more masseuses, and a number of women enjoy their time at the escape club.

Victoria: Oh, yes, well, I can see how some women might want to usher out a bad year and start off the new one with an escape fantasy. But I’m not one of those women because 2021 turned out pretty well for me.

Phyllis: But, victoria, you can’t — you can’t be serious that you found your dream man in ashland locke, I mean, given all the information that nick found out about him. Okay. Uh, no one’s perfect. Yeah, no one’s perfect. So, anyway, you’re saying that you’re so deliriously happy, but yet, on the first day of the year, you’re here bright and early.

Victoria: Would you please have someone send over a carafe of coffee? Three cups.

Adam: Why are you here?

Chloe: To save you from making a huge mistake that could destroy everything you’ve been trying to build.

Adam: What are you talking about? Newman fashion is doing great.

Chloe: You know that’s not what I’m talking about. Sally and chelsea.

Adam: Okay. Let’s not go there, okay?

Chloe: Well, I wish I didn’t have to, but sally was here last night, wasn’t she? I have been warning her to steer clear of you, but she just won’t listen to me, and I’ve been telling the same to chelsea, but it’s like yelling into a void. So here I am to try to persuade you.

Adam: So you are the voice of reason, chloe.

Chloe: In this case, I am. I need you to stay away from sally and chelsea for your own good. They are ticking time bombs. If you take up with one of them, the other is going to blow up your life, and you won’t have to worry about finding new sponsors or selling ads because your fashion platform is going to implode.

Adam: Okay, that sounds like a bit of a threat.

Chloe: No, it’s a fact. If this work situation turns into a love triangle, I don’t think I’m gonna be able to keep these two women away from each other’s throats. And I, for one, want to see newman fashion succeed, and you would be a fool not to want the same thing, too. We have become one of your most profitable divisions. And it won’t look good if you’re business renaissance crashes and burns because you weren’t able to keep your personal and professional life separate. I would appreciate it if you would take my warning seriously.

Sally: I was with adam until the clock struck midnight.

Chelsea: Working till midnight on new year’s eve.

Sally: Yes, actually. We got caught up discussing some new design ideas, but it was all above board.

Chelsea: Oh, of course, of course. I wasn’t implying anything. Adam made it very clear to me he has zero romantic interest in you, so you don’t have to explain yourself to me. I’m just happy that you didn’t have to be alone on new year’s like you were alone on christmas.

Sally: Thank you.

Chelsea: I’m guessing adam felt sorry for you, too.

Sally: Yeah, yep, yep. Adam took pity on me. I had all this vodka and caviar and no one to celebrate with, so after we finally got done working, he agreed to share it with me.

Chelsea: Nice.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Well, since I’m here and I’ve got some free time, why don’t you talk me through the ideas you and adam discussed — before the booze and caviar came out. Hey, come here!

Phyllis: Thank you, crystal. Amazing. Look at that. So, victoria, can I get you anything else, like a fruit cup or a croissant? Imaginary friends?

Victoria: Oh, that’s alright, because my party is here. Thank you guys for coming.

Lily: We almost didn’T.

Phyllis: Oh, wow, lookit. Your new year’s resolution to bury the hatchet is already going awry.

Victoria: I ordered coffee, not unsolicited commentary.

Phyllis: Oh. I’ll be right over here.

Victoria: Please, have a seat.

Billy: So, vick, what is so important that you’ve got here this early?

Lily: On new year’s day.

Victoria: I received word that adam is having a meeting here today. I thought that it would be a good opportunity for us to kick this plan into overdrive so that we can get some real results.

Billy: I didn’t know you had so much intention on taking such an active role in this plan.

Lily: And what do you mean by “overdrive”?

Victoria: I just think that we need to stop making this all about how badly billy is spiraling, because it’s old news. That’s why adam has not taken the bait.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Lily: Okay, and so what do you suggest that we do instead?

Victoria: I suggest that we start pushing other buttons, pinpoint his vulnerabilities, hit him where it hurts. And then he will retaliate.

Billy: Well, I know how to do that. If I’m being honest, I actually enjoy it sometimes, but I didn’t think about how to do that right here, right now.

Lily: Yeah, or why you would be involved.

Victoria: When adam gets here, I’ll set the stage. I’ll go after you for something like not showing up for some holiday thing with the kids before they went to boarding school, and then you can take it from there. You can tell him that he must know exactly what it’s like to be a bad dad.

Lily: Wait, I’m sorry. We haven’t even discussed this. And why does it seem like all of a sudden you think that you’re in charge now?

Victoria: Uh, because I am.

Sally: Well, I know chloe is keen to launch the design part of the business, so I was thinking that maybe we could start off with a line of resort wear, and if we work like crazy, we could get it ready by next season.

Chelsea: That’s a hard market to break into, not to mention a shrinking demographic.

Sally: I think it’s more of a niche, ready for a fresh approach. And we have the attention of people who go on expensive vacations because of my wedding dress design. Yes, the demo is a bit smaller than most, but they spend money.

Chelsea: You make a decent argument, but I’m just not feeling it. What are your other ideas?

Sally: Well, while we are gearing up to design our first clothing line, we still have to feed the beast, so the platform needs content.

Chelsea: What are your thoughts on that?

Sally: I would love to do a feature pairing makeup with different looks, like how food magazines does wine pairings. Like what lipstick goes well with the season’s hottest trends. We could do “lipstick and lingerie” or “does this eyeshadow make my dress look fab?”

Chelsea: Mm, you know, I’m not really a fan of cutesy headlines. I think we need to focus on doing fashion well before we branch off into makeup, so it’s a bit off-brand.

Sally: Honestly, I think you’re being a little too limited in your thinking. The content that I have created so far is what’s made the platform a success, so I think i know what the site needs, especially if I’m gonna be the face of the brand.

Chloe: Hi. I got your text about meeting for a coffee. I didn’t realize sally was gonna be here.

Chelsea: We decided to have an impromptu company meeting.

Sally: Mm-hmm, and she just shot down all my best ideas, including the lipstick pairings, which you loved.

Chloe: Okay, well, I can see why chelsea, at first glance, might want to tweak some of your ideas. All ideas could be made better. So why don’t we, you know, listen to her thoughts and try to incorporate her input? It’ll be a win-win.

Chelsea: Okay, you know what? You can take it from here. I’ve got to pick up connor anyway. We’ll do coffee another time.

Lily: You realize that none of this goes anywhere without billy and me, so I think you can dial back the orders.

Victoria: Oh, come on, don’t be so sensitive. This is my plan now. I mean, hey, look, the pressure’s off the two of you. You can just relax. Adam’s here. Let’s do this.

Billy: Okay, stop. Not so fast. Okay everyone,

Billy: Hey, what are you doing here?

Traci: Well, hello to you, too, billy.

Billy: I’m sorry, traci. I didn’t mean it that way. I just didn’t expect to see you.

Traci: Am I not allowed to be here? Are you up to something you don’t want me to know about?

Billy: Excuse me?

Traci: These are rhetorical questions. Jack has told me exactly what you’re up to.

Billy: Why the hell did he do that?

Traci: Because he didn’t want me to worry that you were wrecking your life again. And I’m actually grateful that one of my brothers thought to include me and put me in the loop. Look, I’m going to leave you with a little warning. I will be keeping an eye on things to make sure that they don’t get out of control, but I am not here to keep tabs on you. I know it’s a shock, but I do have a life. I’m here to make a massage appointment, so please excuse me.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: We need to stand down.

Victoria: Why?

Billy: Because traci knows. Jack told her what I’m up to.

Victoria: Hold on a second. Back up. How did jack find out?

Lily: Because I told billy to tell jack ’cause I thought it was cruel to let his brother think his downward spiral was real.

Victoria: Oh, whereas it was fine for me to believe that you were going off the rails?

Billy: No, but I also knew that I couldn’t trust you with the secret.

Victoria: And yet you felt like you could trust jack? Who told traci? Uh, who else did jack tell?

Billy: Traci is the only problem right now, but it is a big one because there is no one that hates lies and deception more than she does, and if I try something in front of her, she will call me out in a heartbeat.

Lily: Which is why I think that we shouldn’t move forward with this at all. There are way too many variables for this thing to go off track.

Victoria: No, I disagree. Now that I have the tangible goal of getting newman media away from adam, I want to move even more quickly. I’m not throwing in the towel because of one little hiccup.

Lily: Oh, I’m sorry, you’re not throwing in the towel? I mean, you’ve been part of this plan for, what, two seconds?

Victoria: Yes, and you’re just gonna have to accept that because I’m not going anywhere. And honestly, the two of you are lucky that I got involved because billy’s plan was so transparent, I saw right through it. In fact, clearly, you need me to make this work. And if I know billy, which I do, when he gets an idea, I’m guessing that he is not gonna give up.

Billy: Okay, can we just take a breath right now and, you know, put a stop to this next level? Because there is a real possibility that traci could blow this thing out of the water.

Traci: And I would like the works — nails, facial, and a massage.

Phyllis: Okay, that sounds great. You know what? Um…let’s set that up, but it may take a bit.

Traci: Oh, that’s perfectly fine. I’ll be able to relax here with a cup of coffee right by the bar.

Phyllis: Okay, great. Let’s talk to henry. He’s the spa manager, and we’ll get you the best masseuse.

Traci: Thank you. Well, happy new year, adam. Oh, my gosh, I haven’t seen you in ages.

Adam: Hello, traci.

Traci: I’m here for a day of pampering and beauty. How about you? I bet it’s not the exact same agenda.

Adam: Eh, I was supposed to have a meeting, but I don’t think the guy’s gonna show up.

Traci: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

Adam: Mm.

Traci: Now, in spite of your mishap with your meeting, I hope the new year has brought you happiness and I hope you’re well.

Adam: I am doing pretty well. Compared to some people.

Chloe: So what happened with chelsea and what did you say to her?

Sally: All I did was pitch her ideas, and all she did was tell me that they stink. She’s obviously jealous of me. That is her problem, not mine.

Chloe: What kind of jealousy are we talking about — professional or personal?

Sally: A little bit of both.

Chloe: Okay, I could buy a bit of professional envy. She has been out of the game for a little bit and you’ve been getting a lot of attention, but why would chelsea be personally jealous? You promised me you weren’t going to cross any lines with adam.

Sally: I didn’t cross any lines. Yes, okay, I spent some time with adam last night, but that’s it. I got the sense that chelsea already figured as much, so i thought that it would be best to just tell her. But I assured her that it was strictly work.

Chloe: You promised me that you were gonna stop chasing adam and you were gonna focus on your work. So what, have you been lying to me?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Sally: I promise you, nothing happened with adam last night. It was not a date, and I went to great lengths to make sure that was crystal clear.

Chloe: Yeah. Nothing says work like a bottle of vodka and caviar.

Sally: How do you know about that?

Sally: I stopped by the office to tell adam that he was playing with fire when it comes to you and chelsea. I am just at my wit’s end with all of you. I have done everything to try and deescalate the situation, but you just won’t listen to me. So am I going to regret trying to make things work between you and chelsea?

Sally: I think you’re overreacting. Yes, there’s a rivalry, little bit, between me and chelsea right now, but it’s gonna affect our job performance. If anything, it’s gonna push us to be even better.

Chloe: You know, I wish that I could believe that. If I thought that you were just trying to get ahead, I would chalk it up to the drama of working in fashion, but that’s not all it is. Do you have actual feelings for adam that you can’t let go of?

Sally: This is not high school. I am not trying to steal your bff’s boyfriend. Alright, so why don’t we just put the personal stuff aside and focus on the business? I have to get back to the office to rework some of my ideas that chelsea just torpedoed.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Traci: I can’t help noticing that you keep glancing at my brother.

Adam: Hmm. I assure you that I plan to steer clear of billy.

Traci: Well, that’s good, because I have no illusions you two will ever be friends, but i think you can keep a safe and civil distance.

Adam: You really do see the good in everyone, don’t you? I like that about you, but unfortunately, not everyone is good.

Traci: Yes, I know that. But I hope you’re not saying anything specific about billy.

Billy: Oh, no, it was just a general observation.

Traci: I’m glad, because my brother has fought his way back from the same kind of darkness that you have embraced.

Billy: I’ve done my best to change.

Traci: Oh, I know, and what you’ve done for faith newman, just incredible. And you’re in business with victor, that’s a new chapter for you, right? Yeah, but I have a feeling that you like the battle too much. I think you live for conflict.

Phyllis: Traci’s right.

Adam: I could say the same thing about billy.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Yes, and it would be true. But I’ve given him the same advice. I really hope that you two will just stop. One of my wishes for the new year is that you will drop this feud.

Adam: I feel the same way.

Phyllis: Hey, adam, looks like you’ve been stood up. Maybe you can find your colleague back at your place of business.

Adam: No, I have an assistant and a cellphone, so I’ll be okay.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, you’re fraternizing with one of our guests, and this isn’t just any guest, this is traci abbott, world-renowned author.

Traci: [ Laughs ]

Adam: For the record, she struck up a conversation with me.

Traci: I did, I did.

Adam: Yeah. But I don’t want to incur the wrath of the billy abbott fan club, so I’ll take off. But just wanted to let you know, everything that happened with gaines, it was billy’s fault. He brought it on himself. He’s his own worst enemy.

Traci: You know, for the longest time, people said the same thing about you.

Adam: That is true. That’s why I had to work hard to repair my reputation.

Phyllis: [ Clears throat ]

Adam: And surprising that the two champions of billy don’t see him in a downward spiral. He’s in a tailspin, even if you don’t want to see it. Victoria. What an interesting way to start the new year. It’s odd that you have spent the morning with your ex rather than your spouse. Must be something big to bring you all together like this.

Billy: You know what, adam? It’s really got nothing to do with you. But we are talking about our parenting plans for the kids next break. Totally innocuous. Of course you are going to have your eyes peeled just in case i make another misstep.

Adam: Well, they’re kind of hard to miss these days. I’m getting an early start on my day, too, so I will see you all later.

Billy: See you later.

[ Sighs ] Thank you for not saying anything.

Victoria: It wasn’t the right time.

[ Sighs ] But this isn’t over.

Traci: Hey, thanks for having my back with adam.

Phyllis: Yeah, my pleasure.

Traci: He’s right, you know. Billy does bring a lot of this on himself.

Phyllis: Uh, yes, I did. I understand. We’re a lot alike in that way. Um…you know, I’ve tried to change. I’ve made mistakes.

Traci: Is there something specific you’re talking around?

Phyllis: Um, what does that mean?

Traci: I just happen to know that you were supposed to spend christmas eve with jack, but you never showed up.

Phyllis: I mean —

[ Sighs ] Wow, look at you, you just waltzed in here and made a spa appointment and then decided to drop this bomb. I’m impressed. Good work.

Traci: [ Sighs ] I know that your history with jack is really complicated. So is your present. But one thing is for sure — the two of you are very good friends. That will never change. Especially not because of his nosy sisters. How did olay top expensive creams?

Victoria: I’ll be in touch. In the meantime, I think you need to be on the lookout for the next opportunity to advance our goal.

Billy: Sure, we’ll get right on that.

Lily: Or maybe not.

Traci: Hey, everybody. It’s great to see you all up bright and early, seizing the day and the new year.

Lily: Well, you know, early bird catches the worm and all.

Traci: [ Chuckles ] Yes.

Billy: You know, traci, um, let me just be clear. Victoria knows all about the plan, and she is in support.

Traci: Is that so?

Billy: Yes, and I know that jack is not thrilled, but I’m hoping that you can see this from my perspective and understand that it is harmless.

Traci: All I see is the potential to do a bunch of damage.

Billy: Clearly you have your reservations, but I’m hoping that you’re not gonna say anything to adam or anyone else.

Traci: I don’t know, billy. Come on, I could just blow it any moment. I could explode trying to keep back the truth.

Billy: Thank you for the vote of confidence.

Traci: I’m sorry, honey, but please, why would you do this? Why would you want to engage with adam? Couldn’t you just step back and enjoy your beautiful children, your amazing partner, the blessing of a healthy relationship with the mother of your kids? Come on, billy.

Billy: I have my reasons, which I’m not gonna get into right now.

Traci: Victoria, please, for johnny and katie’s sake, would you rethink this?

Victoria: I always put my children first. And I have complete faith in billy. So, now that we have made our stances clear, I need to get back to the office.

Chelsea: Hey. Am I interrupting something?

Adam: [ Clears throat ]

Chelsea: I’m on my way to pick up connor at his friend’s house, but I just wanted to pop in if you had a minute.

Adam: Yeah, of course. Listen, I’m sorry about last night. I know that you were upset, and I hated having to rush out of there like that and leaving you alone.

Chelsea: Don’t worry about it. I was overly emotional. I think the holidays just bring up a lot of memories for me, and I momentarily got caught up in them, but in the bright light of day, I’m doing fine. In fact, I was thinking we could take connor to lunch, since he’s leaving for school in a couple days.

Adam: Yeah. Yeah, let’s do it. His holiday break has gone by very fast, so we need to grab as much time as we can with him.

Chelsea: Yeah. So did everything work out with your work emergency last night? Should I be worried?

Adam: It was nothing that you need to concern yourself with. But I do have some exciting news for you.

Chelsea: Lay it on me.

Adam: Jack and I were discussing jabot possibly coming on board as a sponsorship for the fashion platform.

Chelsea: Huh. Really? Well, that’s odd timing because I just saw sally spectra, and she pitched me a similar idea. The whole fashion-makeup tie-in. I told her it was a stretch, considering we need to focus on fashion and not spread ourselves too thin with makeup, but now — now it makes sense that you guys discussed it because she was so confident when I told her i opposed the idea.

Adam: We talked about it briefly. But, look, I’m just looking for new revenue streams, so if you think jabot’s a bad idea, I will defer to you and chloe.

Chelsea: Okay, okay, I’ve had enough mind games for one morning, so I’m just gonna come out and say it. I know sally was your “work emergency” last night. She told me the two of you rang in the new year together.

Adam: I don’t know why she felt the need to mention that.

Chelsea: Well, she acted like she was trying to be transparent, but I think she was trying to mark her territory.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Chelsea, I don’t belong to anybody.

Chelsea: I just wish you had been honest with me about why you left my place last night.

Adam: I didn’t know entirely what was going on when I got that text. And, chelsea, you were upset. I did not want to make the situation worse.

Chelsea: I hate that you ended the year thinking that i was such a mess.

Adam: I don’t think that. It’s normal to have a little angst around the holidays.

Chelsea: Well, apparently, according to sally, you two weren’t melancholy at all. In fact, you were brainstorming, coming up with a lot of ideas, being really productive.

Adam: Yeah, yeah, I guess we did do some of that.

Chelsea: Some of that? What, there was more to it?

Adam: [ Sighs ] We ended up watching an old movie, that’s all.

Chelsea: I need to know how serious this is, adam, because i have to work with this woman, so if there’s something going on between the two of you, that’s gonna be a problem for me.

Adam: There’s nothing serious going on between me and sally. And even if there were, it isn’t your concern anymore. You need to let go of the past and move on. My personal life is not your business anymore until it involves connor, and this isn’t like that at all.

Chelsea: But it might be in the future? Sounds like you’re leaving the door open for that. Are you falling for sally spectra? Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Adam: Chelsea, we can’t keep circling back to this. I told you, I am not dating sally. So if it’s gonna be a problem for the two of you work together, you have to figure it out.

Chelsea: Fine, I will.

Adam: Good.

[ Clears throat ] Is there something else that you wanted to discuss?

Chelsea: Yes, actually. I have officially decided to sell the penthouse. After last night, I realize it’s too painful for me to live there, and it’s not good for connor either.

Adam: I understand. It’s your decision.

Chelsea: You know, and for the record, sally doesn’t deserve you. I know the type. I’ve seen go-getters like her my whole life. They can’t see beyond what’s in it for them, and frankly, I am shocked that you haven’t been able to figure this out about her yet.

Sally: Chelsea, I thought you were headed off to get connor.

Chelsea: I am. I had to discuss something with adam first.

Sally: Great. Hey, I think I left a file in here earlier. Do you mind if I look for it?

Adam: Go right ahead.

Chloe: You know, you could just come back later.

Chelsea: I’ll see you when we have our date with connor.

Adam: Yep.

Chloe: Chelsea, chelsea. Look, I know that you’re not that happy with me right now, but I am just trying to keep the peace.

Chelsea: Sally is the one putting on a show in there.

Chloe: Well, you two are constantly goading each other.

Chelsea: I beg to differ. I have been pleasant, yet direct, with a woman who works for me. Sally doesn’t seem to realize that I’m her boss. You know, I shot down a couple of her ideas earlier, and she’s being insubordinate because she thinks she has adam on her side.

Chloe: That’s a problem, and we will make sure that it doesn’t happen again.

Chelsea: Well, I know how we fix it. We fire her.

Sally: Chelsea’s a bit moody today, huh?

Adam: Just cut it out. Right now.

Billy: Believe me, I don’t like it anymore than you do, but victoria’s right. We need to force adam into action. Going after him as a father does not sit well with me at all, but exposing his relationship with his dad, that is where adam is vulnerable. I mean, he keeps talking about me falling into old patterns. The amount of times that victor’s betrayed him, he keeps running back to him like a scared little animal. He’s going to fail at newman media, okay? He does everything else. And…[Sighs] You are being awfully quiet. What are you thinking?

Lily: I don’t like this. Everything has changed — everything. Suddenly this is now victoria’s chess game, and you and I are the pawns. Like, I’m not — I’m not doing this. I refuse to let either one of us be used by her.

Victoria: Traci. What are you doing here?

Traci: [ Sighs ] You left before we had a chance to finish our conversation before.

Victoria: I thought that i made my position very clear.

Traci: Oh, you did. But you didn’t give me a chance to articulate mine. This plan of billy’s, it seems to me very dangerous, and if you’re supporting him in this because you’re serving some personal agenda, I am not gonna stand by and do nothing.

Victoria: You know that i have the utmost respect for you, but this is between billy and me.

Traci: No, you know, I don’t think it is. Billy is my brother. I love him and I feel an obligation to do everything in my power to protect him, even if it’s from himself.

Victoria: Well, I think it’s wonderful that you care about billy, but when jack told you what’s going on, I think he painted an inaccurate picture of the situation.

Traci: It used to matter to you, too, to protect billy. I mean, we worked together to help him overcome his gambling addiction. And now, I hate to say it, but i think you’re using him.

Victoria: No, you are underestimating him. Billy and I are equal partners in this. We both stand to benefit if we take adam down.

Traci: Well, I hope that’s true, because if billy suffers at all from anything that’s about to happen, it’s on your conscience.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 

Good morning, gorgeous.

[ Chuckles ] Happy new year. Good morning. Happy new year to you, too. Um, I suppose you have to go to the club and check on things after last night. Nope. N’neka’s got it covered. Club’s closed today. What about you? Do you have to go to the hospital?

[ Giggles ] Uh, no. No, I don’T. Okay. I’m off. I am off all day long. Well, then, it seems like there’s no good reason for either one of us… to leave this bed any time soon. She’s drinking a lot of milk. Yeah. [ Chuckles ] She’s gonna burp a bunch.

[ Laughs ] You know what? You are correct. You know, when you were this age, I used to help mommy burp you.

[ Laughter ] Not much of a filter on that guy. Yeah, that’s why he, uh, fits in so well with the quartermaines.

[ Laughs ] You know, I… if only I took what austin said more seriously, maybe it would have — no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I am just as guilty of all of that, but that’s over now. We’re moving forward and moving on, and we can handle this… together. We are so much more strong as a family. And that includes your beautiful little baby girl. Thank you. Maybe we should try the grill. Or we could take this opportunity to play nice with dear uncle victor. Keep in mind, he has information he can hold over you. Nikolas, ava, my dear. So good to see you both. Likewise. Happy new year. Ah. We were just headed up for some breakfast. Would you care to join us? Oh, I’ve already eaten, but thank you. Okay, well, then can we join you for a little bit, then? Oh, yes, please! It’ll be my pleasure. Uh, apologies for all the newspapers. I was just catching up on the news. Ah, call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer the printed edition to all that digital rubbish. What the hell is this? Uh, no, no, no, no, no. I don’t think so. Well, hello to you, nurse spencer. May I say, you’re looking resplendent this fine new year’s day. Well, thank you, valentin, but I know what you’re up to. You are not getting in to see peter august. Monica: Happy new year. Must have been a good night if you’re now just getting in. Tracy —

[ Gasps ] Oh! I’m sorry, tracy. I didn’t want to startle you. It just — it just looked like you were having a nightmare. Oh. The worst kind.

[ Sighs ] The kind when you wake up, you realize it’s real. Oh, my god.

[ Sighs ] Can’t believe he’s gone. L-luke’s gone.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Oh, good morning. Coffee? Oh, thank you. Thank you. Tracy, I hope you were comfortable enough last night. I tried to wake you and move you into our guest room, but you just wouldn’t budge. Well, probably because I haven’t slept in two days. Wow. Whew. This is terrible. Thank you. Sure. I, uh — I was able to reach lucky, and he had heard about the… cable-car crash in austria, but he didn’t know his father was on it. Tracy: It was horrifying. I, uh… I was glued to the television watching the wreckage in flames, and I was… hoping that luke wasn’t on it. But then the… the authorities

[Sighs] Brought me his personal effects and told me that they had identified his remains. I convinced myself that luke was gonna be alright. I, uh… I’m the reason he was in that accident in the first place. It’s my fault that luke is dead. Well, I know that you were going over to see sam and scout, and, uh… oh, well, dare I hope for maybe a reunion in the works? Sam and I are co-parents, and that’s enough. Oh. Look, I’m sorry. I am sorry, really. I have been up half the night with a heart-to-heart with ned and olivia, and I saw you come in, and I… well, I’m — I’m sorry. What’s going on? More elq drama? Oh, no, no. Uh, family matter. I’ll let olivia tell you about that. It’s not my place, really. But speaking of elq, uh, there are some issues you need to address now that you’re settled in. I came home to shower, change. I’ve got unsettled business of my own that I got to deal with. So how’s leo doing with his specialist? Doing well. Yeah. We’re still consulting with experts on the best way to explain to leo about being on the autism spectrum. We want to have that conversation with him first before he hears the term “autism” from anybody else. And we think he’s old enough to understand. Wow, he’s really lucky to have you guys. And… we are starting the process of ned adopting leo. Really? Yeah. Oh, dad, I’m so happy for you. I’m no longer an only child.

[ Laughter ] Yeah. Well, you know, leo is my son in every way that matters. I think it’s about time we make it official. Yeah. And tell the world that he’s a real member of this family. Yeah. What do you think about that, honey? Leo quartermaine has a really nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

[ Chuckles ] Right? How are you gonna feel having that cute little boy as your uncle?

[ Chuckles ] Trust me, I have no love for peter august, and if I could, I would rough him up myself. But as a nurse and a staff member of this hospital, it’s my responsibility to keep him alive. I have no intention of killing him. I just need some information. Oh. Well, then talk to victor. He came to see him. Victor cassadine? You’re telling me the man who claims to be my father has been here to see peter? Well, that’s the invader. It looks so different. But what does the article say? Well, it’s about a bullying and retaliation accusation against a plant manager. “Top management at the company decided the best course of action was to pay off both parties to circumvent getting more bad pr.”

[ Sighs ] “The payoff is conditional… on them signing a non-disclosure agreement.” This article is specifically designed to make cassadine industries, and, more specifically, me, out to be the bad guy, like I had any part in this. Shawn: What’s the old saying? “The buck stops here.” What? I see you have a copy of my new paper. How do you like it?

You know, before last night, I, um — I couldn’t help but wonder… if it would feel the same, being together after almost 20 years.

[ Scoffs ] It seems like just yesterday. Has it really been 20 years? Yeah, just about. So how’d it feel? It felt so much better… in every way. We know who we are now. You know? We know what we want. And it feels right this time. It just — it just feels — feels right. Because it is. You know, when we got together the first time, I… mistakes were made. What if we could go back in time and do things differently, you know? I mean, just wait until we were free and ready. Maybe we wouldn’t have wasted so much time. Mm, I’m sorry, but I wouldn’t take back what happened all those years ago. Even if I could… I wouldn’t change a thing. Peter august is awake. That’s unfortunate. I need to see him before he gets transferred back to pentonville. No. No, no, drew. Bad idea. I have questions about my conditioning and about how to get rid of it for good. And you think peter is going to help you? No, I don’T. I don’T. But he has the information that I need, and… I’m gonna figure out a way to get it from him. Monica, I-I can’t go on with my life with this hanging over me like this. And I know that you are just aching to talk me out of it. I know that. Well, I could never talk jason out of anything, so I doubt I’ll have any better luck with you. Just please, please be careful. I lost one son to peter. I don’t want to lose another. Did peter ask to see victor, or did victor come here on his own? I don’t know. What did they talk about?

[ Sighs ] It was a private conversation. No one else was in the room, but I’d have to imagine it wasn’t anything good. I was here when victor and his brother mikkos came to town many years ago. They hurt a lot of people. Well, then it’s even more important that I talk to peter. I need to know what victor wanted. Do I need to call security? Don’t think I won’T. Is there a problem here?

[ Sighs ] Valentin wants to see peter august, and he won’t take no for an answer.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh, it’s laura. She says it’s important. Well, go, go, go, go. Oh. I’ll corral him. Okay, thank you. Behave. You heard her. Tracy, it’s not your fault that luke died in a freak accident. No? Luke…got a tip on a can’t-miss scam opportunity. This time, it was in austria. He did say that he… he wouldn’t go without my blessing. And instead of just simply saying…

[ Inhales sharply ] …”Luke, I wish you wouldn’t go,” I snapped, and I — I screamed at him that… if he was even considering going back to that life, then he didn’t care about me at all. Tracy, you know that there is nothing that you could have said to make luke stop doing something he wanted to do. Laura, I said terrible things… things I can’t take back.

[ Chuckles ] Leave it to luke to go and get himself killed so he gets to have the last word. Tracy, I can… rearrange my schedule if you need to talk, or if you prefer, I can make a referral. Thanks. I don’t need a shrink.

[ Cellphone chimes ] I just need luke. You can’t give me that. It’s bobbie. She’s on her way over. Thank you, um, for the kind offer, but… I need my family. Y-you’re not gonna wait for bobbie? Uh, no, no. No, and if I, um

[Clears throat] If I see her, I will — I-I will… I-I’ll just dissolve. So, um, thank you for your kindness. Tracy. Tracy, you’re welcome here any time.

[ Voice breaking ] I know.

[ Door closes ] How are you feeling? I just wish that I could have done something more to help her. You know, she’s devastated, but she is so strong. I know… she will survive. Yes, she’s — she’s tough. But I wasn’t asking about tracy.

[ Crying ] Did you know octopus have nine brains, three hearts, and blue blood?

[ Chuckles ] Well, I knew about the blue blood, but I didn’t know about all those brains and hearts.

[ Laughs ] They must be very smart and very kind. They are, and playful. Want to see my “photo ark” book I got for christmas? There’s a big picture of one up close. It’s cool! Okay. Yeah, sure. Hand her over. You don’t mind? Oh, are you kidding me? You may never get her back.

[ Chuckles ] Oh! Come, leo. Let’s go. Look at you.

[ Chuckles ] Look at her.

[ Both laugh ] Oh, my goodness gracious. You two match. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] You’re a natural. Well, that’s the one upside of having a kid when you’re real young. You get all sorts of advice, and you’re still very moldable. Yeah, well, you’re a pro now. And I’m so happy that we’ve settled the matter on me adopting leo. Me too. Now we just have one… outstanding matter. What’s that? Us.

and you’ll forget about peter? If victor was in there with peter, I need to know why. Ooh, that is concerning. I grant you that. But I can’t let you make a liar out of me ’cause bobbie is really scary when she’s aggrieved. Trust me, it’s in both our best interests. What is this? Hmm? It’s like there’s a lightness to you, like a calm. I assume you had a relaxing evening last night. Hell, no. I just came from a meeting. I almost fell off the wagon again last night. Us? Our relationship.

[ Inhales deeply ] I mean, I guess with everything that’s been going on with leo lately, it’s — it’s been kind of easy to kick that particular can down the road a little bit. We don’t have to do this now. No, no, no, no, no, I-I want to, ned. It’s time.

[ Inhales deeply ] Can we sit? When I found out that you cheated on me… it ripped my heart into shreds. I know, and I’m so sorry — let me finish. Let me finish. A lot of marriages can survive an infidelity, but only if the partner who strayed is willing to… make changes and — and commit to really putting things back together. I know, and I am, I promise you. It will never happen again. The question is… can you forgive me? I already have. Ned…you — the — that indiscretion was just a symptom. It was a symptom of a bigger problem in our marriage. We — we — we had lost faith in each other. We forgot how to communicate. Yeah, guilty as charged. So am I. So am I, but in the last couple months, I think that little — little bits at a time, bit by bit, piece by piece, we’ve started to remember. And I can see you again as a — as a partner, as a confidant. And the way that you stood up for my son — for our son… our son. I look at you now… and I see that you are the man that I want to spend the rest of my life with.

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god. Tracy. Granny, what are you doing here? I, um…

[ Door closes ] I really need my family.

[ Voice breaking ] I am so sorry. I didn’t want to burden you with this. Burden? Because you’re affected by luke’s death? Laura, I’d be worried if you weren’T. Plus… if you think I’m going to be threatened by your past with luke, well, I’m sorry I have to break this to you, but you got the wrong guy. Oh, no. I have the right guy. I am so lucky to have found you. We both got lucky. But I don’t want you to hold in your grief on my account. Luke was a pivotal part of your life. He really was, you know?

[ Crying ] It’s like, I think it was a month ago… I found myself looking at the calendar, and… I realized that it was 40 years ago to the day that we got married. You know, I can remember that like it happened yesterday.

[ Sighs ] That chapter of my life has been over for so long. How am I gonna tell lulu when she wakes up? We have plenty of time to figure that out.

[ Knock on door ] Okay. Here we go. Hi, bobbie. Hey. Thank you for coming over right away. Well, you — you said it was urgent. Hey, kevin. Bobbie. So… what’s going on? Uh… I have to go out. Um… just call me if you need me. Okay. I love you. Love you. I’ll see you soon, bobbie. Something terrible has happened, hasn’t it? Why would anyone publish this dreck? What the hell is the invader trying to prove? Well, the new direction of the invader is to promote or expose issues of social or political relevance.

[ Chuckles ] When I pointed my team in the direction of cassadine industries, they were pretty shocked by the things they uncovered. So you’re directly responsible for this? Yeah, my nonprofit purchased the invader over the holidays. The nonprofit that I funded. You know, and I figured in addition to buying sporting gear and equipment to fund after-school program, my nonprofit should tackle something a little bit more… substantial, so in a sense, this is all possible because of you. Yeah, I’m sure you’ll be hearing more from my team. I’ll be seeing you. Seems mr. Butler is becoming a bit of a nuisance. To put it mildly. Just say the word, and I can always handle the situation for you.

I’m sorry. I just — I assume that after all the — the pain that our affair caused taggert, that you would have some regrets. Well, of course I have regrets about how things went down back then. But I have no interest in changing the past. I believe in learning from it. You know, every decision that we’ve made, every single one, has led us right here, right here to where we are right now. If we hadn’t have had that past relationship, we might not have reconnected. You might not have been here to save trina when she needed you. I certainly would have been — I would not have encouraged you to start a new life at the savoy. And — and to that point, um… thank you, because you pushed me in that direction to open a new club and to start a new life. It meant everything to me.

You mean everything to me. I feel the same way about you. And I’m starting to, um… just feel a little bit… nervous, you know?

[ Chuckles ] I know we decided to take things slow and we are taking things slow, but it’s just… starting to just… well — look, don’t be nervous. Um… I have something I’ve wanted to say to you all morning. Portia… I am falling in love with you. You know, a long walk on a short pier can be arranged. Except that when naomi dreyfus took that walk off that pier, it only brought the spotlight closer to us. Besides, that’s not how we deal with our problems. Well, maybe not nowadays, but shall we revisit what happened in a certain garage seven years ago? Look, if you don’t want my help, fine, but you should know this. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good. Winds of change are coming, my dears. This family needs to be ready. This isn’t the first time… that you’ve alluded to some grand plan for the family. Why don’t you stop hinting at it and come right out and tell us? Oh, you’ll get your answers just as soon as I get the answer I need. Nikolas… I’m glad I found you. I’m sorry, but you need to check in with your mother. Is everything alright? I’m afraid not. Luke’s been killed. Mm. Does this mean… what? What? Wait, wait, wait.

[ Laughs ] No, no, no, I am making it official. Alright? Let’s renew our vows. We got to tell the world that we are back. Would you get up? What? Get up.

[ Laughs ] I’m in. Oh. Anything if you are.

[ Sighs ] But, ned. Yes? It’s got to be different this time, our marriage. We’ve got to be honest with each other. We’ve got to start putting each other first. We’ve got to drown out all the noise from all the people that are gonna want to interfere. Like — mother. Like — yes, exactly, like your mother. I mean, not that we’re gonna have to worry about her because she’s on the lam, but — tracy. How much have you been able to keep up with the news over the holidays? Well… not as much as usual. You know, it’s been so busy, but enough, I think. Mm. Did you hear about the cable-car crash in austria? Yes, I remember seeing something about it, and it’s — it’s so sad, so soon after the holidays. There were a few casualties, weren’t there? Yes, and it took the authorities… a few days to identify the victims — laura, no, no, no, no. Stop it, okay? I don’t want to hear it. I’m so sorry, bobbie. I’m sorry to have to tell you this. N– luke? This is your sister, barbara jean. You drop everything and you call me right now. Do you hear me? You call me right now. Bobbie… he’s not gonna call.

[ Cries ] S-stop.

[ Voice breaking ] I’m so sorry. I don’t want to believe it, either… but I’m afraid it’s true. Luke is gone. No, he’s not.

[ Sobbing ] No, he’s not. Come on. He can’t be gone. I know, honey. He can’t be gone.

[ Sobbing ]

triggered you? Was it being around all that unbearable holiday cheer? I’m sure that didn’t help, but, you know, when you’re an alcoholic, you don’t really need a reason, right? I admit that I have been feeling directionless, and it has gotten worse, not better, since my release. I’m sorry to hear that. Let me know if there’s anything I can do. Yeah, it’s okay. I’m working on it. And the person that gave me that pep talk last night reminded me that my answers are not at the bottom of a bottle. A little help from a friend. Yeah, I guess so. I got to go. If you want to keep me sober, please keep me out of bobbie’s cross hairs. Oh, I’m not making any promises. Okay. Least I tried. How’s my mother? Uh, she’s with bobbie now. Of course, she’s worried about everyone else. She did speak to lucky, but then there’s the matter of ethan. He’ll be the hardest to locate. I may know of a way to reach ethan. Thank you. That would be helpful. My condolences to you and your family, dr. Collins. As you know, your wife and I go way back, as, uh — as do i with luke. Do you mean when they stopped your brother from blackmailing world governments and you were aiding and abetting him? My brother’s long buried, dr. Collins, as luke spencer soon will be. It’s a-a senseless accident. You know, luke was so much larger than life. It’s — it’s a shame he had to go out in such a trivial way. Why didn’t you call me when it happened? I would have come over to amsterdam to be with you. Because telling you or anyone would make it real. I was riding over in the cab, and I just… kept thinking everything looks so normal. People walking around like nothing’s changed, and for them, nothing has changed. But for us… people who know —

knew… knew luke… …the world’s empty. So to answer your question, I just… wanted to get back home. Don’t you think it’s a little ear– brook lynn. The thing is… you all know how… luke and I used to battle, but, um… …when we got together in amsterdam a few years ago, I… I was so sure this was it. We were gonna be together till the end. Joke’s on me. Didn’t know how soon the end would come. Bobbie: I should have known something was wrong ’cause he always calls me this time of year… even if it’s a few days late. “S-s-still counts, barbara jean, if it’s before three kings day.” That’s what he would say to me. He loved you so much… and I know how much the two of you meant to each other. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] We didn’t always show it.

[ Both chuckle ] None of this makes… any sense. I know.

[ Sighs ] He cheated death so many times. For him to go out in a random accident is just — oh, no, no. This was no accident. Someone did this on purpose. Someone killed luke.

I wasn’t sure I was ready to move on. This all happened quicker than expected, but… yeah. I love you. Curtis… and — and I-I don’t expect you to say it back until you’re ready, but…I just wanted you to know how I — curtis… I’m falling in love with you, too.

[ Chuckles ] Can we — can we please just — just do one thing? Can we make a deal? Since we can’t go back and change the past… let’s leave all that back there where it belongs. The only thing I want to do is focus on you… and focus on a new life… with you. So do I. A new year… a new start. Special delivery. Figured you deserved a personal copy. It’s a first edition. Should I frame it? Well, not before reading it, I hope.

[ Chuckles ] You certainly executed your new vision. Yeah, I had a pretty clear idea of how I wanted to set the tone. But from here on out, I’ll need to focus on the day-to-day business side of things. I need to, uh — what I really need is… someone to work under me, you know, second in command to guide the overall editorial vision of the paper. Sounds like a plan. Got anybody in mind? I’m looking at her. Hello, drew. I’m guessing you’re here for the same reason I am. You see peter? Uh, there’s a pentonville guard on the door. They’re not allowing any visitors — probably just as well. Can’t say I agree. He’s responsible for the death of your brother, and he held you captive for how many years. What good’s it gonna do you to see him? I have questions that only peter can answer. Well, I say this delicately, but he’S… treacherous on the best of days, and now he’s desperate. You’d be giving him an invitation. I mean, if there’s a chance he’s gonna activate your conditioning, I say stay away. We’ll all be safer. Wait, why did you want to see him? Well, I didn’t get in, so it doesn’t really matter. Good to see you. Yeah, you, too. Hey, one more thing. Yeah? I’ve had a lot to process since I’ve been back home. Elq has been far down the list. Well, don’t let the quartermaines hear you say that. You’re gonna get disowned. They’re very passionate about that company, and ned has been dropping hints that I could figure into a power play, although… I’m not perfectly clear on the details. It’s pretty simple. I control your voting stock. Whatever you need, we are all here for you. Yeah, we can help with whatever arrangements. Oh, no, no, I don’t want everybody… to drop their plans to attend a funeral. Oh, but I’ll bet luke would be disappointed if there wasn’t a wake or something, where his friends could all get together and knock a few back in his honor. I suppose that’s more like it. Um…there’s a lot of people that need to know. Alright, well, let’s — we can handle that, okay? I’ll — I’ll call dillon. I’m sure he’ll want to know. And I’ll get ahold of — of skye. Um, liv, you should contact robert and let him know. Yeah? Yeah.

[ Bailey cries ] Oh, pumpkin. You just ate. You can’t still be hungry. Okay. Just you and me. Why are you still pretending that baby’s yours? Not many people would characterize an accident with multiple fatalities as trivial. Oh, bad choice of words. My apologies. It’s a tragedy, of course. I-I just meant that luke cheated death so many times and in such spectacular fashion, one would have expected when he went out, when it was his time, he’D…go out in a blaze of glory. Hey, nikolas, why don’t you try reaching out to ethan, uh, now so kevin can speak with him, okay? Sure. Let’s find a quiet spot. Uncle. Be seeing you soon. Yes. Bye.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Bobbie: Luke had so many enemies out there. Somebody sabotaged that cable car. Somebody was targeting luke, and those other poor souls paid the price.

[ Sniffles ] We have to find out who was after him. Bobbie, no, look. I know it would be easier if we had someone to blame, and you want to try to make sense of this. But you can’t, honey. You can’T. It — it was an accident. It was a senseless accident. No. Come on now. No. The hit on mayor laura collins can be dropped now that luke’s been neutralized. I think it’s time to proceed to phase two.

Maggie: Oh, it is so good to see you. Happy new year to you too, my darling.

Abigail: I hope it’s okay I came over here this early on a holiday.

Maggie: Oh, you know you’re always welcome here, but I did wonder you wanted to talk to me. You sounded pretty urgent on the phone.

Abigail: Yeah, I just wanted to tell you about a story we’re working on that’s a little sensitive.

Maggie: Oh, okay.

Abigail: It’s about philip’s disappearance. The paper decided they wanted to focus on that, and I just wanted to give you and victor a heads-up.

Maggie: I see. I see. Well, I’m glad you told me that.

Abigail: And I want to let you to know that if we do find out anything, anything that could upset victor, that I will let you know. That way he doesn’t have to read about it in the paper.

Maggie: That’s very thoughtful of you. Let me ask you something, okay? While you’re out trying to find out what happened to philip, would you help me find sarah?

Gwen: Bloody…what?

Xander: I know.

Gwen: Know what?

Xander: That you played dumb. It’s over. I know where sarah is. She’s been there for months, and you knew about it all along.

Male announcer: Like sands through the hourglass, so are the “days of our lives.”

[Soft orchestration]

Gwen: Xander.

Xander: Don’t touch me.

Gwen: I can explain.

Xander: Explain what? How you kept your mouth shut while the woman I love, the woman you know that I love is out there somewhere being terrorized by a sociopath?

Gwen: Xander, no, wait…no.

Xander: And you also knew that sarah never betrayed me with rex. No, that was that lunatic kristen who orchestrated that, and she told you all about it. Didn’t she? Didn’t she?

Gwen: Yes.

Xander: You decided i didn’t need to know about that. It didn’t fit in with your plans for me to know about that, did it?

Gwen: Please, please, you have to hear my side of things. Kristen threatened me, and I– I just loved you. I loved you so much, and i thought that you loved me too.

Xander: That was before I knew who you were, what you were, I mean. My god, no wonder your own father doesn’t want anything to do with you. I thought I was a bad person. I want you out of this room today.

Gwen: Where are you going?

Xander: Where the hell do you think I’m going? To find sarah.

Gwen: No, no, xander, please don’t leave me! Don’t leave me! Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.

Xander: Gwen, wake up. You’re just having a bad dream. That’s hell of a way to start the new year.

Gwen: Oh, gosh, you’re here.

Xander: Where else would I be? Oh, it’s okay. It’s all right.

Gwen: Yeah, it’s okay. It’s okay.

Xander: Hey, gwen, in the dream you were begging someone not to leave you. Were you talking to me?

Rafe: You seemed upset when I came in; is everything okay?

Ava: Yeah. We’re out of espresso, I had to settle for a regular.

Rae: I can go to the store and get more.

Ava: It’s a holiday.

Rafe: Right. It’s just that the look on your face seemed more intense than, “I don’t like this coffee,” so you sure there’s not something else?

Ava: Don’t you know by now I overreact to most things? So what are we gonna do today? Should we do something with gabi and jake?

Rafe: You’re voluntarily offering to spend time with my sister?

Ava: It’s the holidays; we are supposed to spend time with family. Okay, we can invite over tripp and allie and henry, maybe nicole and holly.

Rafe: Do you know what? Actually, I was hoping that you and i could just spend time together alone for once, you know, watch the parades, maybe you can condescend to me while I watch football.

Ava: [Chuckles] Sounds wonderful.

Rafe: Okay.

[Phone rings]

Ava: It’s nicole.

Rafe: Yeah. I’ll call her back later.

Ava: No, you should get it. It’s a holiday. She wouldn’t call you if it wasn’t important.

Rafe: Okay. Nicole, what’s up?

Nicole: Oh, rafe, I need you to come over to basic black. It’s an emergency.

Rafe: Uh…all right. Well, I’ll be right there. Yeah. She says it’s an emergency.

Ava: Oh. Well, then you better go.

Rafe: You sure?

Ava: Yeah, of course. Go. Go, go. We can–we can catch up later.

Rafe: Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Ava: Okay.

Rafe: All right.

Ava: Happy new year.

Rafe: Happy new year. Ahh!

Abigail: So xander told you that rex and sarah left salem but not together. And they’ve not been together since they left?

Maggie: Right. And now her phone is out of service.

Abigail: Okay. Well, have you gone to the police with any of this?

Maggie: Yeah, I called shawn.

Abigail: And?

Maggie: Well, he said that since sarah left town on her own free will and that since she has contacted me that it would be really hard to classify her as a missing person.

Abigail: Right. Okay. And I imagine everything that’s going on with marlena and brady and philip that the salem pd is probably pretty swamped.

Maggie: Yeah, that’s exactly what he said. So that’s why I’m turning to you. Abigail, I’m worried. I’m really–I’m beyond worried. I’m just– I’m very frustrated that there is something very wrong. So if you and your paper could help me try to find sarah…

Abigail: Of course I can. I will do everything that I possibly can.

Maggie: Oh, well, that’s a relief. Bless you, sweetheart. And if there’s anything I can do, any questions that I can answer, I mean, if I can help you in any way in your search…

Abigail: Right. I think–I think right now the first thing I need to know is just when was the last time that you actually did hear from sarah?

Maggie: [Sighs]

Gwen: No. Sometimes I dream that I’m a little girl again. It’s not surprising I had that dream last night. Life wasn’t always great for me, but holidays were really awful.

Xander: I’m so sorry.

Abigail: No, don’t be. All I have to do is just wake up next to you, and I know that that’s all in the past and that I won’t be alone again.

Xander: Well, at least not for more than a couple of hours.

Gwen: Well, where are you going? We have all morning.

Xander: I’m sorry, but I have to go and see your uncle steve.

Gwen: On new year’s morning? Why?

Xander: I’m gonna hire him to find sarah.

Kayla: Oh, you have everything you need?

Steve: Yeah. I think so. I’m sorry, baby. This isn’t the way I wanted to start the new year.

Kayla: You can’t put it off even a couple days?

Steve: No, I’m afraid kristen might have too much of a head start already.

Kayla: You know, it’s been hammered home again and again that there’s nothing that kristen wouldn’t stoop to.

Steve: Yeah?

Kayla: But I think in her sick, weird way she really loves brady. And he is rachel’s father. I just have a hard time thinking that she would frame him for philip’s murder.

Steve: Well, maybe she has some twisted reason we are not aware of.

Kayla: And what reason would that be?

Steve: [Sighs] You know how stefano was always banging on about chess? “The move behind the move behind the move.” Maybe kristen’s making some kind of chess move.

[Doorbell rings] Hey.

Jennifer: Hi.

Jack: Hey.

Jennifer: Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.

Steve: Hello. Hello.

Jennifer: Happy new year.

Kayla: So good to see you.

Jennifer: Oh, my goodness. How are you guys? Oh, wait, I hope we’re not too early.

Steve: No, no, actually, you’re just in time, because I’m on my way out of town on a work trip.

Jack: Well, that’s a coincidence, because we’re leaving salem too. This is the sound of nature breathing.

Rafe: Damn it, nicole. This better be good. What happened?

Nicole: That happened.

Ava: Happy new year, nicole. Oh, what a surprise. “Oh, my little bear has a boo-boo. I need you, rafe.” Yeah, didn’t see that one coming. Oh, and in other news, rafe goes flying to her side. Wonder if he’ll be able to find a way to comfort her. Bet they’re on that conference table as we speak.

[Knock at door] Just a minute.

Gwen: Thank god you’re here. Who were you talking to?

Ava: The gods of vengeance. What are you doing here? We can’t be seen together.

Gwen: I know; I had to come. You’re the only one who can help me.

Abigail: And so there’s nothing after this last text?

Maggie: No. I’ve left messages but nothing.

Abigail: Hmm. Could you forward these texts to me?

Maggie: Yes. Of course. See, what I– what I don’t understand is, if sarah didn’t leave town with rex, why didn’t she tell me that? It doesn’t make any sense. Sarah’s always told me everything. Well, almost; we’re very close.

Abigail: I know that. So I think I’m gonna try to get sarah’s phone records so I can find out who else she has been in contact with.

Maggie: But you’re still gonna keep looking for philip, because I’m also terribly worried about victor.

Abigail: That’s so you. Here you’re going through the same thing he is, and you’re worried about him.

Maggie: Well, for all of his blustery, he’s just not as strong as I am.

Abigail: I don’t think many people are.

Maggie: Oh. Thank you.

Abigail: Although I do hope– I hope I’ve got just a little bit of your strength, I think I’m gonna need it.

Maggie: Really?

Abigail: Oh, yeah, I’m running the whole paper now.

Maggie: Well, that’s wonderful. You’re gonna do a great job. But what about your dad?

Abigail: Well, actually, he and my mom have other plans.

Kayla: So tell us more about this boston newspaper?

Jennifer: Well, I started reading it while I was there with mike settling my mom’s estate, and I mean, it’s just a small, you know, local, old-fashioned newspaper just dedicated to local news. But apparently, it is going to go under if we don’t take it over.

Kayla: So there’s an urgency to this? You need to save the paper.

Jennifer: Yeah, definitely. And I mean the owners are relieved, not that we’re just taking it over, but that we’re going to keep it exactly the same. We’re not gonna slash the staff, we’re just gonna– just kind of beef up their tech and social media. I mean, it’s gonna be complicated for sure, but…

Jack: Yeah, I mean, small newspapers are challenged all over the country. So we just figured let abigail take care of the “spectator,” and we’ll have a new mission.

Kayla: So you’re moving.

Jennifer: Well, no, no, no, not permanently.

Jack: No.

Jennifer: We’re gonna come right back as soon as we have it going on its feet.

Jack: Right.

Steve: Good.

Kayla: Because we’ll all miss you so much. But I’m impressed. I’m so impressed as always with what you’re doing.

[Knock at door]

Jack: Oh. Hey, let me get that. Oh, xander. How did you know I was here?

Xander: I wasn’t looking for you, jack. I need to talk to steve.

Only daisy cottage cheese will do

Maggie: Well, I am gonna miss your folks, but the paper’s in good hands. Listen, if you don’t have time to look for sarah.

Abigail: I will make time, okay? And I’m gonna talk to xander. I understand he wasn’t real happy with her when she left.

Maggie: Well, honestly, xander’s the one who came to me. He’s very worried about sarah. But he’s moved on with someone else.

Abigail: Yeah, gwen. I know. You know, any port in a storm.

Maggie: Yeah, well, I think it’s more than that. He seems pretty serious about her.

Abigail: Well, if that’s true, god help him.

Xander: I’m sorry to interrupt, steve, but can I talk to you alone for a minute?

Jennifer: You know, actually, we’re heading out. We’re gonna meet abigail at the house before we go to the airport.

Jack: Yeah.

Xander: You’re going on a trip?

Jack: Oh, well, we bought a newspaper in boston, and we’ll be there for a while.

Xander: Leaving town? Does gwen know? Oh, wait, I know that she doesn’t know. Would you like me to tell her for you?

Jack: No.

Xander: So what, have a nice life?

Jack: Well, you have a nice life too, xander. I–look, I mean it. I mean, it. I really do hope things work out for you.

Jennifer: He really does mean it. Gwen has not made it easy for jack to have a relationship with her. He’s not the villain here.

Xander: You’re right. I–so one more time, do have a nice life. I’ll never forget that you were my mate when I really needed one.

Jennifer: Oh, gosh, now we gotta do this before I start crying.

Jack: Hey, listen, come to boston, world-class orchestra, you know, the symphony.

Steve: I can’t wait.

Jack: Good. Good.

Kayla: Yeah, we will do that. We will. Okay.

Steve: I’m gonna miss you too, baby.

Kayla: It’s amazing.

Jack: It’s–cool, we’ll go.

Jennifer: All right, we just need to go.

Jack: Take care.

Jennifer: No tears. No tears.

Jack: All right. All right.

Steve: Stay safe.

Jack: Okay, bye.

Xander: I’m so sorry; it’s really bad timing. I’ll come back.

Steve: No, you’re here already. Tell me what the hell you want.

Xander: I want you to help me find sarah.

Gwen: I know; I wasn’t thinking. Is anyone here?

Ava: No. His bitch of a sister isn’t around, and rafe has been summoned by his sidepiece.

Gwen: What?

Ava: Yes. He’s probably on the conference room table with her right now.

Gwen: He’s having an affair?

Ava: Yes. And today I have provided him with his cover story. She called him to show him the dead body that I left in her office.

Rafe: This is sick. Oh, my god. Who– who the hell would do such a thing?

Nicole: You and i both know exactly who did this. My nunormal?

Rafe: You know who did this?

Nicole: Isn’t it obvious? It’s sami.

Rafe: Sami?

Nicole: Oh, please; it reeks of her. It’s vindictive and vicious, and we both know how she likes breaking and entering, and it’s totally childish. She checks all the boxes.

Rafe: I don’t know.

Nicole: Yeah, well, I do. She’s just paying me back for breaking up her marriage to ej.

Rafe: She should be on her knees grateful for what you did.

Nicole: Oh, grateful? I’m sure she breathes fire at the mere mention of my name. Let’s face it, it’s sami. Who else hates me this much?

Gwen: You decapitated a stuffed animal?

Ava: Yep. Rafe and nicole share custody of him.

Gwen: Oh, well then, i suppose you didn’t have a choice, did you?

Ava: No, not really. So again, what the hell are you doing here?

Gwen: It’s xander. He’s not gonna give up until he finds sarah.

Ava: Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Calm down; calm down. When kristen makes sure that people disappear, she’s really good at it, and so wherever she’s got sarah, she’s gonna stay there.

Gwen: Yeah, I keep telling myself that, but…

Ava: Okay, and if it wasn’t for the two of us, right, she’d be in statesville right now. She’s not gonna double-cross us.

Gwen: I helped her escape, because she said to me that if I didn’t she would go and tell xander where sarah is. If he finds her–

Ava: Okay, I’m telling you, no one is gonna find her, okay? You don’t need to worry.

Gwen: Except for the fact that xander wants to hire steve to help find her now, and he’s good, isn’t he? He’s really good.

Ava: Yeah. Yeah he’s good. Okay. You do have to worry.

Kayla: Well, I thought that sarah was working with rex for doctors without borders.

Xander: Well, he was, alone. And he had no idea that everyone here thought she was with him.

Kayla: But maggie’s heard from her, right? Does maggie know about this?

Xander: Yeah, I told her.

Kayla: She must be a wreck.

Xander: Oh, she’s pretty tough. But we both just wanna know for sure that sarah’s all right. So what do you say?

Steve: Let me ask you something. Isn’t it possible that sarah just decided to move on from your relationship?

Xander: That suddenly? On the day we were supposed to be married?

Steve: It happens.

Xander: Not in this case. And believe me, I–I really did talk myself into thinking that’s what happened, but now that I know she’s not with rex and rex has no idea where she is, I– look, I think something is very wrong.

Steve: Well, I’m sorry you’re so worried and that maggie is too. God knows I’d do anything for her, but I’m on another case; I’m on my way out of town. Maybe you should talk to my partner.

Kayla: John, after everything that he’s been through with marlena?

Xander: Well, I’m gonna ask anyway. I’m sorry, but I just have to know what happened to sarah.

Maggie: So I called melissa, nathan, and melanie, and no one has heard anything from sarah.

Abigail: Hmm, I bet they’re pretty worried now too.

Maggie: Yeah, very.

Abigail: We’re gonna find her, aunt maggie. I promise.

Maggie: Okay.

Abigail: Now, I’m sorry; I have to go. My parents, they are leaving for the airport soon.

Maggie: Oh, go, go, go, listen–

Abigail: I’ll be in touch.

Maggie: Oh, listen, tell them both how much I love them.

Abigail: I will.

Maggie: Thank you, honey. I love you.

Abigail: I love you. Okay.

Maggie: Happy new year.

Abigail: Happy new year.

Maggie: Okay. Oh. Please… mickey, bring our girl back home. (Man 1 vo) I’m living with cll

Jennifer: I think it’s great that you had a chance to talk to xander and just clear the air before we leave.

Jack: Yeah.

Jennifer: And he’s just a friend; he’s not even family. She’s your daughter, jack. You have to say goodbye to her.

Jack: I can’t believe that you’re worried about gwen.

Jennifer: No, I’m worried about you. Don’t leave like this; it’ll tear you up inside, jack.

Jack: When I think about what she did to you and did to abigail…

Jennifer: I know–more than anyone in this world, I know how much your children mean to you. And she is your child. You are going to call her, jack.

Xander: You were right, kayla. John’s not taking any cases until he’s sure marlena’s all right. I guess I’ll have to find sarah by myself.

Ava: Oh, yeah, well, I can see why you’re worried. If anyone can find sarah, it is steve.

Gwen: Well, don’t sugarcoat it.

Ava: Oh, could work out for you.

Gwen: How? How is this gonna work out for me?

Ava: All right, if steve finds sarah without any involvement rom kristen, then no one is gonna know that you knew anything about what happened to her.

Gwen: Great, so xander won’t kill me, and then he’ll just ride off into the sunset with her. He’ll let me down gently and ride off into the sunset with her. And either way I– I still lose him.

Ava: Well, no, you don’t know that; he could choose you.

Gwen: Me?

Ava: Mm-hmm.

Gwen: Over the perfect, sainted dr. Horton? No, that’s very bloody unlikely.

Ava why are you selling yourself so short? What’s so special about her anyway?

Gwen: Well, I mean, look at her; she’s got brains and class, and she’s got a perfect body. Oh, yeah, and she’s a good person. No one ever says that about me.

Ava: Okay, fine, fine. You know what? If a guy can’t see– you know what? If he’s so stupid that he can’t see what he’s got, to hell with him.

Gwen: Are we talking about xander now or rafe?

Ava: Both of them.

[Phone beeps] What? What is it?

Gwen: It’s my father. He wants to talk to me. He wants to see me. I have to go. I have to go. Thank you so much for listening. And sorry about rafe.

Ava: Not as sorry as he’s gonna be.

Rafe: Okay, allie. Well, give henry a hug for me. Bye. Well, sami left town with lucas.

Nicole: Okay. Well, she could have done this before she left.

Rafe: No, I don’t think so, but I’ll check it out.

Nicole: Well, thanks for coming by.

Rafe: Yeah. That’s it?

Nicole: Well, what else is there? You’re on the case now, and I came here to work, and that’s what I’m gonna do.

Rafe: I know, but you’re upset.

Nicole: Look, besides, it’s a holiday, and you should be with ava.

Rafe: Right. Okay. Well, I’ll keep you posted. Happy new year.

Nicole: Same to you.

[Sighs] Well, this new year is off to a hell of a start.

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Steve: Kayla? I’ve really got to get going, baby.

Kayla: Be right there. Okay.

Steve: Okay. What’s that?

Kayla: A suitcase.

Steve: I can see that. Where are you going?

Kayla: With you.

Steve: No.

Kayla: Yes. John can’t be your backup, so I will be.

Steve: Baby, I’m going to find kristen. I don’t want you anywhere near that psycho.

Kayla: And I don’t want you near that psycho either, but that’s not gonna stop you, is it?

Steve: It’s my job.

Kayla: And I’ve helped you out before. In fact, I have saved your butt on several occasions.

Steve: Okay, but…

Kayla: But what? Okay, listen, we could get in a big debate about marriage and partnership and equality, and I would win, and then I’d go that trip, and I would sulk, and I would give you the silent treatment for a few days, or you could just concede right now that I am right, and then we go on this trip; we could even leave earlier, and we’ll be happy as clams. Your choice.

Steve: You know what?

Kayla: Hmm?

Steve: I just had a crazy idea.

Kayla: Yeah.

Steve: Why don’t you come with me?

Kayla: Well, you know what? Now that you mention it, I think I’d like to do that. Okay.

Xander: I wish I had better news, but steve has another job, and john won’t leave marlena. I’m sorry.

Maggie: Well, that’s too bad, but I did find someone to help. Abigail’s gonna look into it.

Xander: She’s a reporter, not a private eye.

Maggie: Yeah, but she’s a great reporter, and she’s tenacious, just like her folks.

Xander: You know, I– I just saw them. They’re leaving town.

Maggie: Yeah, I know. Abigail told me. So how was it seeing jack?

Xander: [Sighs] Well, you know it… ended up being a good thing. We kind of buried the hatchet.

Maggie: Oh, I’m glad.

Xander: Yeah. But when I tried to get him to talk to gwen, well, it looks like I’ll be the one who has to tell her that he’s gone.

Jennifer: Okay, I will leave the two of you alone.

Gwen: Thanks, I guess. I got your text.

Jack: Thanks for coming.

Gwen: Yeah. So what do you want?

Jack: To tell you I love you.

Gwen: I’m sorry. That’s not what i expected. That can’t be true. That can’t be true, not after what I’ve done.

Jack: Yeah, well, like jennifer said, you’re my kid. I can–I can get mad at you; I can be–

Gwen: Disgusted by me.

Jack: By what you did. But what I can’t do is stop loving you. I tried, but I can’T. You’re my kid.

Rafe: What are you doing, man? You’re with ava.

Nicole: Oh. Mm. Focus, walker, focus.

Ava: Oh, that is the least those two deserve. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Steve: Okay. Car’s all packed. You ready?

Kayla: Yeah, I am ready.

Steve: Well, let’s rock and roll, partner.

Kayla: Okay, partner. I like the sound of that.

Steve: Come on.

Kayla: Okay.

Xander: You know, I just thought of something. Maybe abigail won’t want to work with me to find sarah, because of how, you know, she feels about gwen.

Maggie: Well, of course she will. Abigail is totally professional. And she can control her personal feelings.

Xander: Unlike gwen, right?

Maggie: You said it; I didn’T. Besides, abigail has already said she needs to talk to you. She’s not gonna let anything get in the way of her trying to find sarah.

Xander: Let’s hope you’re right.

Abigail: Well, the return of the prodigal daughter.

Gwen: We were just saying goodbye.

Abigail: Don’t let me interrupt you.

Jack: Abigail, I’m sorry if it upsets you. I just couldn’t leave without–

Abigail: Dad, I told you I’m not gonna get in the way of you having a relationship with her, and I meant it.

Gwen: Thank you, abigail.

Abigail: He’s your father, he loves you, and as a parent myself I respect that love.

Gwen: That’s very kind of you, abigail.

Abigail: I also happen to believe strongly that people can change, and so I’m hope someday, someday you and I will be better able to understand each other.

Gwen: I hope so too.

Jennifer: And I hope that as well.

Jack: And I–I– I second that. I third that. I–I agree wholeheartedly. Um… okay, so tell us, how did– how did everything go with victor and maggie?

Abigail: Oh, well, I only spoke with maggie. I just–I felt like it would be better for her to tell victor that we were gonna cover the disappearance of philip.

Jack: Good, good idea. It’s a good call.

Abigail: Yeah. And I picked up another story, one that’s very important to me. It’s also very important and urgent for aunt maggie.

Jack: Oh, wonderful. What is it?

Abigail: It’s the disappearance of sarah horton.

[Tense music]

Rafe: Hi.

Ava: Hey.

Rafe: I didn’t know you were going out.

Ava: Oh, I just needed some air. So how’s nicole? What was the big emergency?

Rafe: Yeah. Remember duke?

Ava: Yeah, how could I forget?

Rafe: Someone cut his head off.

Ava: Really?

Rafe: Yeah. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that now, would you? <

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Deacon: Ridge isn’t coming back?

Brooke: Oh! Mm, vodka. Come on, slug one back with me, buddy old pal.

Deacon: Mm! I never stopped loving you, ever.

[Gasps] Morning, sunshine.

Brooke: Why did i drink again?

[Door closing] I’m gonna make sure you come nowhere near my family, especially steffy, finn, and hayes.

Sheila: Never, ever mess with me, brooke, especially when it comes to my son. You will never keep me away from finn. No matter what I have to do.

Liam: All right, dude. Your aunt donna is going to be here any second, so I need you to grab your jacket and your backpack. Okay? Hello? Dougie, dougie, bo-buggy! What’s going on?

Douglas: I saw grandma kissing santa claus.

Liam: What… what now?

Douglas: I saw grandma kissing santa claus.

Liam: Oh, the song, the song. Yes, I believe it’s “I saw mommy kissing santa claus,” not grandma.

Douglas: No.

Liam: All right. Fine, it can be grandma. Listen, I almost have the diaper bag ready. I have snacks. I have drinks. Jacket, backpack, go, go, go, go, go! Also, help your sister with her jacket.

Douglas: Okay.

Liam: Thank you.

[Knocking at door]

Deacon: Hey, liam, I saw hope on her way up to the main house, she didn’t see me. Can I come in?

Liam: You just want to wait here for her?

Deacon: No, if you let me in, I’ll explain.

Liam: Sure.

Deacon: Thanks.

Liam: Yeah.

Deacon: Are the kids here?

Liam: They’re actually about to head out with donna. Listen, I don’t want to be rude, but, um… what– what do you want?

Deacon: It’s about hope.

Carter: So, to be clear, when we kissed, you really hadn’t planned on that?

Paris: No, it just happened.

Carter: Agreed. Don’t get me wrong, you’re… you’re beautiful… smart, sweet.

Paris: Well, when you put it that way, you weren’t planning on kissing me?

Paris: So all those kind things you just said about me… you weren’t trying to start your new year off with a bang?

Carter: What? No, I was just saying that I think very highly of you, if you couldn’t tell. But no, I was not making a play for you. After you came back here from dinner with zende and you told me what you had to do so he wouldn’t propose, I just… I just wanted to be there for you. As a friend. And that’s what we are, right?

Liam: All right, love you guys, have fun and listen to your aunt donna.

Deacon: Is it possible that they got any bigger since I just saw them? Hey, look, liam, I… I get that you and I are very different guys. I mean, I’d probably hazard to say we have zero in common, but there is one thing that’s very important to both of us.

Liam: Which is what?

Deacon: Our love for hope.

Ridge: Well, I’d wait as long as I could, but we’re running out of hot water. And I get it, you got to be tired too, right? I’m sorry, I didn’t even ask you. I was too busy talking about myself, as always. How did it go? How was new year’s with hope, and liam and the kids?

Hope: Are you really sure you want to know? I mean, talk about a crazy new year’s eve. Had to be your craziest ever, right, mom? Okay everyone,

Deacon: Liam, you and i haven’t really talked since I got out of prison. And the thing is, man, we used to talk.

Liam: Yeah, I just… I don’t really see that doing any good.

Deacon: Look, I get it. You’re… you’re afraid that I’m gonna hurt hope again, that’s why you don’t trust me.

Liam: Well, yeah, deacon, can you blame me? I mean, come on.

Deacon: No, actually, I, I don’T. And if I’m being completely honest, I admire you for it and I appreciate it. I mean, it’s nice to know that my daughter’s got a husband who’s always looking out for her. What?

Liam: Well, listen, you and I both know that hope is very much in charge of her own life.

Deacon: Yeah, yeah.

Liam: But if I see heartache around the corner, I’m going to say something, even if she doesn’t like what I have to say.

Deacon: And you know why that is, don’t you?

Liam: Yeah. Because she thinks you’re not the person you once were, she thinks that prison has… changed you for the better.

Deacon: I am changed for the better, but not because of all my years in a prison cell. Because of hope. It’s because of her writing to me when I was in prison, despite having every reason in the world to kick me to the curb. She kept the faith that I could change, that I could finally be the father that she deserves. Man, that’s all I’m trying to do. I’m trying my damnedest to do it, and I get it that there are going to be some people that will never accept me, especially ridge. I was just hoping that maybe you’d reconsider. Just give me a chance.

Liam: Kind of like what brooke’s trying to do. I got to say I was… I was surprised that that brooke invited you to new year’s eve. That I… I didn’t see that coming.

Deacon: Yeah, well, that makes two of us. That was definitely a surprise. New year’s eve was a night full of lots of surprises.

Ridge: Crazy night, huh?

Hope: Oh, yeah, it was real wild. Uh, champagne was flowing, non-alcoholic, champagne was flowing. There was goodies for the kids. You know, these noisemakers, and hand clappers, and hats.

Ridge: Well, it sounds like you rang in the new year in style.

Hope: Uh, I think we did. Although, you should know, ridge, that my dad was here, only briefly, though. The kids fell asleep watching their favorite movie and we were all gone well before midnight and we wanted to give mom some time to get ready before you came home. Right, mom?

Brooke: Yeah.

Hope: So, we were all hoping you could make it last night. I’m guessing that didn’t happen?

Ridge: Yeah, I was hoping that too. But there’s just… lot of things. So I got here this morning.

Hope: Well, just know that you were missed, especially by mom.

Ridge: And by deacon, probably, right? Was he on his best behavior?

Brooke: Uh, I’ll just say that the night was definitely not the same without you, ridge. I missed you so much. Really, so very much.

Ridge: Come here.

[Upbeat acoustic music throughout]

Paris: I still can’t believe zende wanted to propose.

Carter: Yeah. He loves you.

Paris: I know. And I’m so lucky, I just don’t think I’m ready.

Carter: Yeah, yeah, I understand. And you saved zende from the embarrassment and hurt of having his proposal rejected. So don’t beat yourself up over this. You’re a good person, paris. There’s a reason why zende loves you so much. Don’t forget that.

Liam: I see that you’ve committed to helping me with this new year’s resolution.

Hope: Hmm. The one about more kissing and less talking?

Liam: Yes, exactly. Talking’s so overrated. Oh, how is… how’s brooke? She must be happy ridge is back.

Hope: Uh, yeah. Um, she seemed excited to have him back, and it is nice to see my mom light up whenever ridge is around. I know they’ve had their challenges lately with my dad and all that.

Liam: Oh, speaking of, guess who came to the cabin while you were up at your mom’s?

Hope: My dad… was he looking for me?

Liam: No, me. We actually had kinda a good talk.

Hope: Wha-really?

Liam: Yeah, really.

Hope: Oh my gosh, I’m so glad. I want the two of you to get along.

Liam: Yeah. Well, it turns out there’s this one really, really speific thing that we both have in common. We love you. So…

Hope: Well, that means a lot to me. Two of the most important men in my life, you know, trying to come together.

Liam: I wouldn’t go that far. With the coming together.

Hope: Well, okay, fine. Fair enough. But I am just, I’m grateful that you are trying.

Liam: Yeah. A lot of gratitude going around lately. I know steffy’s really grateful that taylor’s back in town. It’s kelly’s grandmother. She likes having her mom around.

Hope: Yeah, although it is kind of weird the timing of it all that taylor just happens to be back in la right when mom and ridge are dealing with deacon, and all that.

Liam: Yeah, no, that’s true because deacon is one thing, taylor is another. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned is that your mom and ridge do not need the added stress from either.

Brooke: Oh, come on, deacon. Slug one back with me, buddy, old pal. Cheers. The bell bottoms! Oh my god. You put the bell bottoms on and you…

[Laughing]

Deacon: I’ve never worn bell bottoms in my entire life.

Brooke: You would like, strut down the boulevard.

Deacon: Oh, stop it. I’ve never walked like that, either. Come on.

Brooke: I think we need this.

Deacon: Yes, of course.

Brooke: Finish the look.

Deacon: And that is the look. Yes!

Ridge: Deacon was here for new year’s?

Brooke: Yeah, I was about to tell you when hope arrived.

Ridge: Did he just show up uninvited because that’s usually what he does, right? What’s going on with you? Huh? Deacon do something to upset you?

Hope: What exactly are you implying here?

Liam: I’m not implying, there’s no… it’S… it’s not an implication so much as I just want you to be aware of of…

Hope: Of what?

Liam: Of the, I don’t know, the dynamics that are in play right now. Like you like where things are headed with your dad, right?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Even though I have my own, you know, issues with deacon.

Hope: Liam, you just said you had a good conversation.

Liam: I did. I did. But it doesn’t change how ridge feels about deacon, right? That, like that’s still a strain on his relationship with your mom.

Hope: I am well aware of that.

Liam: I know you’re aware. Look, I know–

Hope: Liam, I don’t want there to be friction in my mom and ridge’s relationship. Okay? Even with the way ridge’s been treating me lately with trying to pressure me off the property. And…

Liam: I know, and he absolutely should not have done that. I’m just saying that clearly, deacon being in your life is bothering ridge, and I don’t think we should make the mistake of pushing deacon on ridge too much because… it could backfire.

Ridge: What’s going on? You seem off. Is it because of deacon?

Brooke: I’m sorry, ridge. I, I didn’t sleep well. I never do, when you’re not here. And when you told me that you were going to be back, but you never came home, I’m just not myself when you’re gone. That’s all.

Ridge: I’m sorry. Hmm. Oh, yeah. Sorry I didn’t make it back in time.

Brooke: Me too. More than you know.

Ridge: All right, I’m going to make a promise to you. Next new year’s, you and me, somewhere, I don’t even care where you are, I’m going to find you, and I’m going to be with my hot, beautiful wife. But before all that, we have a whole year of possibilities, right?

Brooke: Yeah. Uh huh.

Ridge: And I know we have issues with deacon, but I’m going to let that go because there’s no way he’s going to have anything to do with our relationship. He’s not going to break us up, he’s not going to do any of that stuff. Okay?

Brooke: Mh mm.

Ridge: Because I love you. And–

[Cell phone ringing] Okay, that’s the prince, I was supposed to call him, tell him that I landed, and I forgot. So I need a talk to take this. Don’t go anywhere.

Brooke: Okay!

Ridge: Hey. No, I did. I’m sorry.

[Phone ringing]

Deacon: Hey. I didn’t expect to hear from you again. What, what’s going on? Everything okay?

Brooke: No, I’m not okay. I’m anything but okay.

Deacon: Nothing happened last night.

Brooke: What are you even talking about? I relapsed. I started drinking again. I don’t even know how that happened.

Deacon: All right, look. I get it. I get it, okay? It was bad. You fell off the wagon. But you know what? You’re going to go to your meetings. You’re going to turn this around but you’ve got to stop torturing yourself. Now, has ridge come home yet?

Brooke: Yes, he’s home. I was about to tell him and, and hope walked in.

Deacon: Thank god she did. What are you– brooke, listen to me. I know you’re feeling a lot of guilt.

Brooke: Of course I’m feeling guilty. Look, I want to be honest with ridge, I want to open up to him. But our marriage has been really shaky lately, and I don’t want to just push us over the edge. I don’t want to lose the man that I love. I don’t want to lose my husband.

Deacon: That’s not going to happen, but you have got to get it together.

Brooke: Okay. I’m going to go to meetings and I’m going to stop drinking. And… as far as that kiss and ending up in bed with you–

Deacon: On your bed, above the sheets. Brooke, it was one kiss. Nothing else happened.

Brooke: Deacon, it’s gonna haunt me. It’s gonna haunt me forever. As much as I want to open up to ridge, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Look, we’re going to need to just keep this secret. Okay? Forever. Say it.

Deacon: Forever.

Brooke: Goodbye.

Brooke: I’m gonna make sure you come nowhere near my family, especially steffy, finn, and hayes.

Sheila: Oh, brooke. You are always so sure of yourself. But, you know what? After my little bit of handiwork last night, seeing deacon inspecting non-alcoholic champagne bottles this morning, I have a sneaking suspicion that your world is already starting to fall apart.
