[ Dramatic music ]

Eric: I’ve tried everything, ridge. Nothing has helped me. I cannot satisfy my wife in that way anymore.

Ridge: So, your solution is what? To let her cheat?

Quinn: That’s not what he’s saying.

Eric: No, let, let me do it. It’s my doing, after all. It’s not cheating, if it’s my ideA.

Ridge: What, I don’t even– she’s having sex with carter. He has his hands all over your woman, and that can’t be okay with you–

Eric: I don’t want to be alone in this house anymore.

Brooke: Poor eric.

Katie: I just, this is so out of character for him. I can’t believe that he would put up with something like this.

Brooke: He must not be thinking clearly.

Katie: He’s in a very difficult position.

Brooke: I’m sure he’s feeling very fragile right now.

Katie: To not be able to live up to his wife’s expectations in the bedroom? I mean, I understand that sex is a very big part of intimacy, but to give quinn a hall pass?

Brooke: How could she even agree to this? How could quinn sleep with carter again?

Finn: Thanks for listening.

Hope: Of course. I get it. You’re not in an easy position. But, I don’t fault you for wanting to get to know your birth mother. It’s just there is such a complicated history with steffy’s family and her.

Finn: Couldn’t get any messier, that’s for sure.

[ Chuckling ] But, it’s nice to have someone to talk to. About sheila.

Sheila: Come on, son. I know you’d want to, if it weren’t for steffy. Just text me back.

[Door knocking]

Sheila: Hey.

Keith: Hey, sheila. The bellman said you left your sweater down in the lobby.

Sheila: And the assistant manager brings it up to me?

Keith: I was just checking in on you.

Sheila: Thank you. It’s very kind of you.

Keith: We need the room. You were supposed to be out–

Sheila: I told you, I’m not going anywhere until I see my son–

Keith: Your son and your grandson, yeah.

Sheila: Oh, well, you remembered.

Keith: Did you end up texting him?

Sheila: I did.

Keith: Good for you. You hear anything back?

Sheila: No, not yet.

Hope: Do you think you’re going to text sheila back?

[ Sighing ]

Finn: I’m not sure if I should. Steffy doesn’t want me to have anything to do with her.

Steffy: Hey!

Hope: Hey, welcome back, how was it?

Steffy: It was great. We went to the park, got some ice cream.

Finn: Ah, rocky road?

Steffy: You know it.

Hope: Oh, but, kelly is going to be wired all day. Where is, where is she?

Liam: Which is why I dropped her off at a friend’s, for a play date. Because I’m a genius.

Finn: Good call.

Steffy: So, how’d everything go? Did we miss anything?

Katie: Oh, I’m sure quinn jumped at the chance.

Brooke: It’s one thing for eric to propose such an arrangement, but it’s another thing for quinn to actually go along with it.

Katie: She claims to love him, and yet she ends up in carter’s bed again.

Brooke: If she really, truly cared about eric, she wouldn’t be doing this.

Katie: It doesn’t matter that he’s allowing it. It’s wrong. I mean, no matter how you slice it, quinn is disrespecting eric on a very deep level.

Ridge: You deserve better than this.

[ Quinn scoffing ]

Eric: Ridge, I’ve made a decision, it’s done. I want my wife to be happy.

Ridge: Because you think she’s gonna leave you.

Quinn: I’m not leaving your father.

Ridge: You should leave him, that’s what he needs.

Eric: All right, I’ve had enough of this. That’s it.

Ridge: Brooke, me, steffy, the girls, everyone is here.

Quinn: What?

Ridge: You’re not gonna be alone, but this one, needs to go. You need to be gone.

Sheila: Well, maybe texting him was a mistake.

Keith: Why, ’cause the wife doesn’t like you?

Sheila: It goes a little deeper than that.

Keith: Just give it some time. Not everyone texts back right away, he’ll respond, eventually.

Sheila: Well, it’s not like I’m in any rush. One way or another, I am going to be a part of my son and my grandson’s lives.

Steffy: Children are a blessing, but they’re also very exhausting.

[ Laughing ]

Liam: That’s very true, but we had a great time, and, I think, kelly was happy to have us to ourselves.

Hope: Oh, I bet. It’s always so special for her.

Steffy: Yeah, she loved it. She felt like a queen.

Hope: Mm, and she should.

Finn: And especially since hayes has been getting a lot of the attention, lately.

Liam: Well, he kinda earned it. He’s really cute.

Finn: Well, yeah.

Steffy: Yeah, we’re not biased or anything.

[ Chuckling ]

Finn: Yeah, kelly, she’s been a patient big sister, and I am glad she got to spend some time with you guys alone. Just a little bummed you didn’t bring any ice cream back for hope and me.

Hope: I was just about to say the same thinG.

Finn: Yeah, hello?

Steffy: Next time we’ll, well, we’ll bring it. We won’t forget.

Liam: We did, it’s just I ate it. Listen, we’ll go back for round two, with beth and douglas, how’s that?

Hope: Sounds good, I am sure they will be up for that.

Liam: Well, thank you for making today so easy on all of us.

Steffy: Yeah, we really appreciate it.

Hope: Oh, please, you don’t have to thank me, I know how much kelly loves her mommy and daddy time. Besides, we’re all one, big family. And family always comes first.

Brooke: Any wife committed to her husband would never have agreed to go along with this shocking offer.

Katie: Well, quinn has no heart. She certainly doesn’t have the heart to deal with something like this.

Brooke: What heart? I don’t think she was ever born with one.

Katie: And he just keeps defending her. I mean, he keeps saying these things to keep her around.

Brooke: She just brings him down. She’s taken away all of his pride, and all of his dignity.

Katie: Well, it’s not fair to keep stringing her husband along like this. If she wants to be with carter, she should be with carter.

Brooke: Yeah, and set eric free.

Ridge: You think she’s doing you a favor? You think it’s some big sacrifice, having sex with carter? How do you do that? How does carter do that?

Eric: Carter is a good man. Carter’s your best friend.

Ridge: No, he’s not. He’s not my friend at all. He’s not who I thought he was.

Eric: That’s not true. I asked him to be there for my wife in a way that I couldn’T.

Ridge: He could have done the honorable thing and said no, maybe?

Eric: He did, and so did quinn.

Quinn: We didn’t want this. Carter and I fought this.

Eric: I pushed it.

Ridge: Oh you fought it?

Quinn: Yes, we did, you’re not listening to your father!

Ridge: I’m listening. You know what I hear? You need to get out of this house. Today.

Brooke: I am glad you live next door to eric. You’re close by if he needs anything.

Katie: You know, it’s fun being neighbors. I like knowing that he’s right down the hill.

Brooke: Yeah, you can be there for each other. But right now, eric is the one that needs protecting from his crazy wife.

Katie: I just wish that he could see himself, the way we see him as this remarkable, attractive man.

Brooke: I know. He is. He’s so handsome, and always been so sweet. That’s why I married him all those years ago.

Katie: I’ve been over there quite a lot, lately, and there’s just this emptiness about him, that wasn’t there before.

Brooke: We have quinn to thank for that.

Katie: Well, I think he’s hanging on to this relationship because he doesn’t want to be alone in that house when he comes home from work. I mean, that’s what’s driving this, that fear. The house has always been so alive with children, and grandchildren and parties, and holidays, and weddings, and you know, eric seems lonely. I’m sure he thinks, “well, if I lose quinn, “then what do I have left?”

Eric: Ridge, I am your father. You can’t talk to me like this.

Ridge: I’m sorry, dad, but someone has to get through to you.

Eric: I want you to drop this. I will not be dictated to.

Quinn: Okay, look. Ridge, you have to listen to your father, okay? Can’t you see how hard this is for him? How humiliating it is? I mean, I mean, why are you making everything worse?

Ridge: Oh, I’m making things worse? How about you take responsibility for things you do, for once in your life? You could have done that, you could have said, “no, I’m gonna support my–”

Quinn: I tried.

Ridge: “I’m gonna stand by him.”

Quinn: I tried to! He wouldn’t let it happen.

Ridge: You ran to carter.

Quinn: That is not what happened. Eric pushed us together.

Eric: I did, I did. She didn’t do anything that I didn’t ask her to do.

Ridge: Of course, it’s amazing to me. You’re gonna defend her, until the end of days. How do you do that? She’s having sex with another man. This isn’t okay, it’s not okay. Didn’t you say you love this man?

Quinn: I do, he’s my husband.

Ridge: Well then, there you go. Why don’t you prove it? Why don’t you take this ugly picture, and whatever you got, and get out this door? And don’t come back.

Hope: We are very lucky to have such a happy, healthy bunch of kids.

Liam: Yeah, I guess they’re all pretty great.

Finn: Even at three in the morning.

Hope: Even when they refuse to nap.

Liam: Even when they refuse to do their homework.

Steffy: When we have to hear that truck song, over, and over, and over again.

Liam: And over and over and over.

Finn: Yes, that is kelly’s current favorite one.

Liam: Oh, you’ve heard it?

Finn: Yeah! Yeah, I have.

Steffy: Yeah, about 1700 times.

Hope: Well, it’s a good thing they’re so adorable, right?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: All jokes aside, who are we kidding? They are perfect in every way.

Liam: And we’d be lost without them.

Steffy: That’s true. And honestly, I can’t wait to get back to hayes.

Hope: There’s nothing like the connection between a parent and a child.

Steffy: Under normal circumstances, I would agree, you know, most parents want what’s best for the children… there’s only one exception, you know?

Liam: Oh! You’re talking about she-who-shall-not-be-named.

Steffy: Yeah. It is wild. Like, out of all the birth mothers out there, you got stuck with sheila. I mean, come on.

Keith: I don’t mean to be pushy, but my boss is telling me we have this room booked beginning tomorrow.

Sheila: You don’t really think I care about that, do you, keith? I am totally concentrating on seeing my son and my grandson, and when there’s a will, there’s way, right? I always get what I want.

Keith: Oh, I can see that. I’ll talk to my boss about extending the room.

Sheila: Thank you.

[ Door closing ] Come on, come on, finn. Just text me back. Mama misses her boys. I’m alphonso, and there’s more to me than hiv.

[ Phone tapping ]

Liam: I can’t imagine how shocking it must have been to finally meet your birth mother, and then realize that she is, you know, who she is, what she’s done to the family.

Finn: It’s been a real struggle.

Steffy: Yeah. Sheila’s made it so hard on finn. She’s refusing to give up.

Hope: But a mother’s bond with their child, it can be really strong.

Steffy: With sheila? It’s obsessive.

Hope: I mean, obviously, it’s not at all, at all the same situation, but I remember when we were told that beth was gone and yet, I still felt her presence, I mean, it can be that powerful.

Steffy: Yeah, I, I get that. But luckily, finn has a mom, li. She’s been there, and she’s provided such an amazing connection and a positive outlook on life. I don’t even know. I’m sorry, I don’t know why I’m bringing up sheila. I just hope to god that she never comes back into our life. Ever again.

[ Phone dinging ] I think we’re ready to go, right? Yeah. And thank you for helping liam and me spend the day with kelly.

Hope: Uh, absolutely. We should do it again sometime.

Steffy: Yeah, we should.

Liam: So, I have a work call. I’m gonna say goodbye now.

Finn: Bye.

Steffy: See you.

Liam: Okay.

Steffy: Hey, give douglas and beth a hug for me.

Liam: Ah, you know I will.

Steffy: Okay. You coming?

Finn: Yeah, right behind you.

Steffy: Okay. Thanks.

[ Door clicking ]

Hope: Was that a text from sheila?

Finn: Thanks for not mentioning anything in front of steffy.

Hope: Of course. I know how important steffy and your family is to you, so…

[ Sighing ] Good luck with everything.

Finn: Yeah. Thanks.

Katie: I just wish there was something more we could do.

Brooke: Me too. But, eric knows that we’re in his corner, and he’s very grateful for all the support. Especially you, reaching out to him like that. He’s just had so much heartbreak in his life. At this point, he shouldn’t feel alone.

Brooke: No, he shouldn’T. But he also shouldn’t agree to a loveless life with quinn.

Ridge: This whole situation is sick and perverted, and it needs to stop.

Quinn: Really, so shaming your father, it’s not going to help–

Ridge: It’s the truth! Dad, you can move in with me, we can move in with you, you’re not gonna be alone.

Eric: No, that’s right, I’m not gonna be alone. I’m gonna be here, and quinn’s gonna be right here with me.

Ridge: Dad, this is–

Eric: Look, this is the way it is. This is my life now.

Ridge: It doesn’t have to be.

Eric: I don’t need your permission. You don’t get a say.

Ridge: I’m your son. I’m not just gonna walk away from this fiasco.

Eric: All right, you’ve expressed your indignation. Now, I’ve heard enough. I want you to go.

Ridge: Dad, this is not your only house–

Eric: I said go, ridge, go, go home!

Nate: Ashland.

Ashland: Nate.

Nate: Hey. Good to see you. How is everything?

Ashland: Never better.

Nate: Really?

Ashland: You grabbing dinner?

Nate: Uh, elena got called in to memorial to, uh, help out on a case. So I thought I would stop by and grab her some dessert to surprise her. Until then, I’m on my own.

Ashland: Makes two of us.

Nate: Is everything okay? You seem a little off.

Ashland: Uh, I mentioned earlier some vexing issues that I’ve had. And I thought I’d handled them, and it turns out I was wrong. They’re still unresolved.

Nate: I don’t mean to pry, but, as your best man, i promised I would help out however I could. So I’m here if you need a friend.

Ashland: It’s been a while since I’ve had one of those. And I could definitely use one right now.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Nikki: Victoria?

Victoria: Yes?

Nikki: What’s wrong?

Victoria: Nothing.

Nikki: Yes, there is.

Victoria: I was just thinking about all of the work that requires my attention before we — before we go to tuscany.

Nikki: You said “tuscany” instead of “the wedding.”

Victoria: Oh, mom, please don’t read into that.

Nikki: Well, I can’t help it. I mean, the last time you and i spoke, you said that you were wondering if there was more that ashland was keeping from you. And I know you were going to see him. Did he have answers for your questions?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] I just — I learned more about his past. And it, um — it just has me thinking.

Nikki: Well, you seem more upset now than you did before. Please just tell me what happened. I promise I won’t judge or criticize. Darling, I’m on your side.

Victoria: I finally know who ashland is. Who he really is.

Jack: Nick. Come on in. We were just talking about you.

Nick: Oh, should I be worried?

Phyllis: We were wondering what took you.

Nick: Yeah. It look longer than I expected.

Phyllis: Oh. Okay. So, uh, how was your trip?

Jack: I’ll tell you what. While you guys are talking about that, I’m gonna give my pilot a call. He can schedule a new flight plan now that we know that you’re here.

Phyllis: Okay. Okay. What happened?

Nick: The one thing I can tell you for sure is victoria is making a terrible mistake.

Mariah: Why would you talk to sharon about something that is so private and personal, like my emotional state or my desire to have a baby with you?

Tessa: Because she’s your mother. And we both love you more than anything.

Mariah: That should have stayed between us.

Tessa: Okay, you — you have every right to be upset. But I was confused and concerned, and I really needed someone to talk to.

Mariah: You should have talked to me.

Tessa: But I didn’t feel like I could.

Mariah: What do you mean? Why?

Tessa: Because I’ve tried. And you don’t want to hear what I have to say.

I’m a ganiac, ganiac, check my drawers

Ashland: Some details, um, about my past that I was hoping to keep private have recently come to light.

Nate: Mm. I get why that would be upsetting.

Ashland: When I was young and desperate, um, I made some choices that some people may not understand. And in one defining moment, uh, I saw the opportunity to make my life better, and I grabbed it. And since that time, I have worked tirelessly to become the man that I am. And I have tried to forget the person that I was before i became the ashland locke, as if one can truly forget one’s history.

Nate: Mm. It’s virtually impossible to entirely escape your past.

Ashland: My bride-to-be now knows this chapter of my life i hoped I could leave behind me.

Nate: I hope you don’t mind me saying so, but I suspected something happened with you two. Victoria was unusually tense when elena and I were with you earlier.

Ashland: And that was before she even knew the half of it.

Nate: So, what does this mean? Is the wedding still happening?

Victoria: Ashland didn’t just change his name and create a new identity for himself. He took the name of a friend who died when they were in a terrible car accident together.

Nikki: What?! Why would he do that?

Victoria: He saw a chance to save himself. He wanted to prevent his father from ever finding him again, just wanted to start over with a clean slate.

Nikki: Wow. Well, I guess now I understand why he wanted to keep that part of his life hidden. Did he explain why he kept this from you?

Victoria: He said that he was relieved that I finally knew the truth and, um, he regretted not telling me to begin with.

Nikki: Well, why didn’t he tell you sooner?

Victoria: Because, mom, this was a very painful part of his life. He didn’t want to speak of it anymore.

Nikki: Do you believe him?

Victoria: I saw the look in his eyes, and I heard it in his voice. I mean, it was — it was heartbreaking watching him relive that story.

Nikki: But you still think he should have told you before now.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] It’s just so disappointing that the only reason he revealed any of this to me is because, once again, he was backed into a corner.

Nikki: Ugh. Because of billy. I saw him earlier, and I told him to stay out of your relationship. Apparently, he’s incapable of that.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Not billy. No, mom. It’s much worse. It was nicholas.

Phyllis: Bobby defranco? This guy’s real name is bobby defranco?

Nick: Yeah. He stole his dead best friend’s identity.

Phyllis: Wow. I would have never expected to hear something like this. And not in a million years would I assume that locke expected you to connect the dots.

Nick: Yeah, he said as much. I put together bits and pieces of information when I went out to toms river. My plan was to come back here and confront ashland, have him fill in the blanks. I just didn’t want to involve victoria until I knew exactly what I was dealing with.

Phyllis: Oh, well, it sounds like that’s not what happened, right?

Nick: Ashland shows up with victoria, and the two of them demand that she’s a part of the conversation.

Phyllis: Well, she must have gone out of her mind, hearing something so epic, right?

Nick: You know, she didn’t say much about that. But later on, when we were talking alone, she just went off on me.

Phyllis: What?

Nick: Yeah, she said i betrayed her confidence.

[ Breathes deeply ] Made it very clear to me that she’s done with me.

Phyllis: With you? Nick!

Nick: It’s what I get for doing the right thing.

Mariah: There is nothing that you can’t talk to me about. You know that, tessa.

Tessa: You’re right. I backed down because I didn’t want to disappoint you or upset you anymore. But I also… I also feel like you’re not really listening to me.

Mariah: But I do. I am.

Tessa: Okay. Um… well, what I’m hearing from you is that you want me to have a baby so that we can have a child of our own. And more than anything, I want to have a family with you… one day. But I told you, from my point of view, I don’t think this is the right time.

Mariah: Why not?

Tessa: For so many reasons.

Mariah: Okay. Like what?

Tessa: Uh, okay, well, let’s start with the practical ones. Our careers.

Mariah: Tessa, you can have a career and have a family.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] Okay. Well, then, uh, how about where we’re living…or not living? I mean, we don’t even know where we’re gonna be moving.

Mariah: There are so many places to choose from, and we — okay. Okay. I’m sorry. I hear it. I get it. I’m — I’m listening. I promise.

Tessa: [ Sighs ] Okay, um, look. I’m hesitant for some bigger reasons, as well. I know that we’ve discussed having a family in general. But I am not sure that I am ready to be pregnant or be a mom. And it would be a lie to say that I am. And I’m also worried that… this decision might be coming from a place of desperation.

Mariah: Ouch.

Tessa: Honey, you were kidnapped, left alone for weeks. And then there was the birth. And now you’re dealing with finding your place in dominic’s life.

Mariah: What are you trying to say?

Tessa: I think that the idea of having a baby might be an escape from all of that for you, something to distract from all the emotions that are going on inside of you. And I think that you should work through that first.

Mariah: I hear you. I do. I just completely disagree.

Nate: For what it’s worth, i consider myself a decent judge of character. And from what I know and seen of you, you seem like a decent guy.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Thank you. That means the world coming from you.

Nate: And if this event you’re alluding to happened decades ago, well, most people have ghosts of one kind or another in their past.

Ashland: I appreciate you giving me the benefit of the doubt. I hope that victoria can be convinced to do the same.

Phyllis: Siblings have squabbles, right? I mean, she’s just mad — victoria. She’s not gonna cut you out of her life.

Nick: Well, she cut me off the guest list.

Phyllis: What?

Nick: Yep. I’ve been officially disinvited from the wedding.

Phyllis: That’s ridicul– she’s just mad. She’s mad, you know? And she is shooting the well-intentioned messenger. That’s all. I mean, she’s shocked. I’m shocked. I don’t even like this guy, and I’m shocked. I mean, he really took the identity of a dying man? Really?

Nick: He said he had no chance to save his best friend’s life and he had to make a split-second decision, one that would allow him to get away from his abusive father forever.

Phyllis: Well, that is outrageous. I understand why he would do that. If it’s true, I understand. I mean, he has an abusive father. I know that one would probably want to erase their past.

Nick: Well, who knows what other secrets this guy has. He was willing to take this one to the grave, and the only reason he said the truth was ’cause I forced it out of him. My sister deserves better than this.

Phyllis: Hey, let’s table all the talk about ashland, whether he’s evil or not evil. Let’s just focus on your sister. You need — you got to make this right.

Nick: She doesn’t want me at the wedding.

Phyllis: No.

Nick: So I’m not going.

Phyllis: No, no. You’re going. You’re definitely going. Nick, you have to work this out with your sister. You have to, or you’ll regret it forever. You have to make this right now. Before it’s too late.

Victoria: When I found out that nicholas had flown to new jersey, I suspected that he took it upon himself to investigate ashland’s past. But when I asked phyllis about it, she lied and she said that i was projecting my own insecurities.

Nikki: Oh, well, that’s phyllis. What do you expect?

Victoria: I expect a modicum of — of respect. I’m tired of people running around behind my back, interfering, all under the guise of looking out for me.

Nikki: Well, darling, I do think that nicholas was looking out for, unlike billy, who just wants to undermine your relationship with ashland. Your brother just wants you to be happy.

Victoria: Do you know what makes me happy, mom? When people do as I ask. And I asked him explicitly not to interfere, but then he goes sneaking around without my authorization.

Nikki: Maybe he was hoping there wouldn’t be anything worth mentioning.

Victoria: It wasn’t his place. I spoke to him in private, in confidence. I asked him not to act on anything that I said to him, and he blatantly disregarded my wishes. And then on top of that, when he got the information that he did, he went to ashland first and not me.

Nikki: Well, honey, perhaps he thought that ashland would be able to explain.

Victoria: It doesn’t matter. I’m — I’m his sister. There’s just no excuse.

Nikki: I am so sorry this happened.

Victoria: Well, I am so sorry, too. But I am not gonna give nick a pass just for the sake of peace. In fact, I told him not to bother coming to the wedding.

Nikki: What?! Well, I hope, once you have some time to think that over, you will reconsider.

Victoria: I won’T.

Nikki: Victoria, you need to really think about this because the way you feel now is not gonna be the same as how you feel in a week or a month or even a year. You are going to wish that he was by your side. That is, if there is still going to be a wedding.

Victoria: Did I say that it was off?

Nikki: No, but you have carried on a lot about nicholas, and I haven’t heard one word about how you feel about ashland now. What does this mean for the two of you? Plaque psoriasis, the burning, itching. The pain.

Mariah: Having a baby and starting a family with you — that’s not me avoiding what happened to me. That’S… that’s my way of getting through it all.

Tessa: How do you figure?

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Okay. I-I’m not escaping. I’m saving myself. I have been on my own my entire life, and I have not just survived, but I have thrived. And you’ve done the same, right?

Tessa: Yeah, but I’m not seeing the connection to having a family.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Do you remember when abby asked me to the be the surrogate and i just thought, “sure, I’ll — I’ll do this for my friend, and then I’ll go back to my life”? Well, I couldn’T.

Tessa: Because you were kidnapped.

Mariah: No. No. Because bringing bowie into this world — it changed me. I realized how much love I have to give to a child, and that’s what this is all about. It’s about the love and the love that I want to pour into our child.

Tessa: But I am not ready for that.

Mariah: How do you know?

Tessa: [ Sighs ]

Mariah: Seriously. I mean, what — what first-time parents are ever really ready?

Tessa: Look, I want — I-I need to be in the right mind-set, and more than anything, I need you to find your balance again.

Mariah: You think I’m unbalanced?

Tessa: I just think it’s wrong to bring a brand-new life into the world to fill a hole in your heart. It’s not fair [Sighs] To saddle a child with the chore of healing a wound.

[ Voice breaking ] It’s not fair to push me for something that i am not ready for. Because then I will lose my balance, and we will both be a mess.

Mariah: So…that’s it? End of discussion?

Ashland: I wasn’t expecting to fall in love. I mean, it was the last thing on my mind after my ex had, uh, run roughshod over my heart. Victoria changed all that when she walked into my life… brought me happiness like I’ve never known, gave me a reason to live. And despite my diagnosis, the idea of planning a future with her — it’s everything to me. And the thought that my resurrected past would threaten that…

Nate: So, what happens now?

Ashland: I wish I knew.

[ Sighs ] Intellectually, my mind is telling me to wait this out, you know, give her some time. But my heart is telling me something different.

Nate: Maybe you need to follow your heart.

Victoria: I can’t turn my emotions on and off.

[ Sighs ] I still love ashland.

Nikki: Of course you do. And I hope you know that I’m not trying to tell you what to do.

Victoria: I know that you’re not, and I appreciate your support. But that’s all I care to say about my relationship for the moment. However I decide to handle the situation, ashland will be the first to know.

Nick: Of course I want to repair things with vick, but i just cannot reach out to her.

Phyllis: Don’t you want to make things right?

Nick: Yes, but anything I say right now is just gonna add fuel to the anger. Honestly, it will do us both some good to just stay away from each other and let things calm down.

Phyllis: Okay. The clock is ticking, you know.

Nick: Yeah. I’m gonna figure it all out after summer’s wedding. Right now I just need to focus on shaking off this mood and looking forward to our trip because our little girl’s getting married, and I don’t want any part of this to cast a shadow on her big day.

Phyllis: Ah. I don’t, either. She deserves all the joy in the world.

Nick: So I cannot wait to get on that jet and go to milan with you.

Jack: Hope I’m not interrupting.

Phyllis: No, not at all. We were just talking about how excited we are to get on the jabot jet and start the festivities.

Jack: Unfortunately, that is not gonna happen. (Dad) you know, if we take that wrapper back to the store,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Mariah: [ Sighs heavily ]

Tessa: Okay, I — I’ve never shut down all conversations with you about having a baby. I would never do that.

Mariah: Well, it kind of seems that way.

Tessa: I’m sorry. I… I want to hear how you’re feeling. I really do. And I want help you in any way that I can. But [Sighs]…Having honest conversations like this, as difficult as it is, I think it’s a step in the right direction. So let’s keep the lines of communication open?

Mariah: Yeah. I want to do that, too.

Tessa: Good. Hey, come here. ‘Cause together I know that we can handle anything that life throws our way, right?

Mariah: Absolutely.

Tessa: Do you have any idea how much I love you?

Mariah: Almost as much as i love you?

Tessa: More. And we’ll both get to where we want to be eventually. I can feel that in my heart and in my soul.

Mariah: So do I.

Tessa: But in the meantime, I think we should take a step back from having conversations about having a baby. You know, we just happen to be going to a beautiful place that neither of us have been. So let’s just breathe [Inhales sharply] Take in the moment, and maybe we can table our conversations about having a baby until we get back from tuscany?

Mariah: Yeah. Yeah, we can, uh — we can wait to talk about it until after victoria’s wedding.

Tessa: Oh, great. Thank you.

Mariah: I don’t want to push you away. I need you more than I ever have.

Tessa: I’m gonna be here for you, no matter what happens. I’m not going anywhere without you.

Mariah: [ Sniffles ]

Jack: The flight has been delayed.

Phyllis: What?

Jack: Apparently, there’s a storm in our flight path. They’re advising that we sit tight tonight and leave for italy first thing in the morning.

Phyllis: No! No!

Nick: I really don’t want mess things up for kyle and summer.

Jack: I’ve already spoken with kyle, told him of our situation. He and summer are both willing to adapt accordingly. This is the advantage to a small ceremony. Now, why don’t you guys go home, get some sleep?

Phyllis: Ohh…okay. Um, do you mind if we just leave the luggage and we’ll be here bright and early?

Jack: Yeah, that’s a plan.

Phyllis: Okay. So… hey, thank you.

Jack: Thank you for what?

Phyllis: Thank you for keeping me company while i waited for nick.

Jack: You never have to thank me for that. You’re always welcome here. I’ll see you both in the morning.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: Victoria?

Nikki: You just missed her.

Ashland: Ah. Any idea when she might return?

Nikki: No.

Ashland: Is she, um, at a meeting or perhaps making some last-minute arrangements for our big day?

Nikki: I am aware of what you’re doing, and there is no need to dance around the issues. Victoria told me everything.

Ashland: Ah, well, that’s not a surprise. Does this change the way you see me? Ordinary tissues burn when theo blows.

Traci: Jack, do you want to tell me what’s going on?

Jack: Wh– oh. The flight’s been delayed. We’re gonna leave in the morning.

Traci: Oh. Well, in that case, I have some good news. I don’t have to go to new york after all and see my agent, so i can fly to milan with you.

Jack: That is great. Yeah, ashley is jetting in from paris. She’ll get there right before us.

Traci: Oh, how awesome. But I wasn’t only talking about the flight.

Jack: Oh?

Traci: You know that I had this lovely conversation with phyllis earlier.

Jack: Did you?

Traci: [ Laughs ] And I happened to notice a certain warmth in your voice when you went on and on about all that she’s accomplished with the hotel.

Jack: Traci, I —

Traci: And then there was this lovely glow that you’ve had about you. I haven’t seen it in a long time. And then just now there was a wistfulness when you watched her leave with nick. Okay. Okay. I’m just supposed to pretend like it’s all my imagination and this is just a fantastic new plot for a novel of mine.

Jack: You know what? You’re right. I have been thinking a lot lately about my romantic history with phyllis.

Traci: How worried should i be?

Jack: Why would you worry about anything?

Traci: [ Sighs ] Well, friendship is one thing, but it’s phyllis. I mean, given your history with her, I hope you’re not thinking about creating new memories along those lines.

Jack: I am not planning on acting on any of my feelings. Phyllis and nick are perfectly happy, and they know I respect their relationship.

Traci: Then where are these old feelings coming from?

Jack: I don’t know. Maybe the whole debacle with sally, you know, starting things up with her, has me thinking about what I loved and lost.

Traci: Oh, jack.

Jack: I didn’t say that for pity. I said that so you’d give me some space. I don’t want you worrying about me. Just stop worrying about me, okay?

Traci: As if you telling me that is gonna stop me.

[ Laughs ]

Jack: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: Great, babe. Okay, well, I am so glad that everything is still on track.

Nick: We’ll see you soon, sweetheart!

Phyllis: He says — did — okay. Oh, alright. Well, hey, you go to sleep, okay?

Nick: Ciao!

Phyllis: Ciao! He says, “ciao!” That — that means “bye.”

[ Laughs ] She knows. Alright, alright. I love you. Bye.

Nick: She sounds so happy.

Phyllis: She does.

Nick: I’m just glad that our flight delay isn’t putting a monkey wrench into their wedding plans.

Phyllis: Oh, no. After everything they’ve gone through, no way. Nothing is gonna set them back. They’re gonna get the life that they deserve, the happy life that they deserve.

Nick: Every couple should feel like that on their wedding day.

Phyllis: Hmm. Your conversation with victoria is still weighing on you. Do you want to talk about it?

Nick: I get the feeling there’s something else you’d like to ask me. So, what is it?

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Do you regret doing this? Do you regret going to new jersey, finding out the truth about ashland? Are you sorry that you pursued it?

Nikki: Actually, ashland, i haven’t decided yet what I think of you now.

Ashland: That’s understandable.

Nikki: I can tell you I hate what it’s doing to my daughter.

Ashland: I can’t stand it, either. I love victoria, and I want to do whatever I can to make things right.

Nikki: Well, if you think i am going to offer you some insight into how to handle this situation, you are wrong. I don’t know what victoria’s considering. But I can tell you that you need to let her resolve this in her mind.

Ashland: Are you suggesting i give her space?

Nikki: Yes. Wait for her to reach out to you, that she is ready to talk to you.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Whatever she needs. I’ll get a room at the grand phoenix until, uh — well,

if victoria lets me come home. On the outside, I looked fine.

Tessa: Oh, you’re in bed already?

Mariah: Yeah. I’m wiped.

Tessa: Mm. Well, it’s been a long day. I can’t imagine a better way to end it than falling asleep in your arms.

[ Sighs ] So, I was thinking, since we have so many errands to run tomorrow before our trip, why don’t we squeeze in a little fun, too, you know? Maybe we could, uh, grab lunch at that new sushi place or, uh, grab a mani-pedi or — [ Gasps ] Ooh, ooh, ooh, I got it. We could get new tattoos. You choose mine, and I choose yours. Wow. Nothing? I thought I would at least get a laugh or, “are you out of your mind, tessa?” Mariah? I love you.

[ Jewelry clatters ]

Traci: Are you thinking about dina?

Jack: Yeah. I had a dream about her the other night. Oh, it was so real. I heard her voice crystal clear.

Traci: Really? What did she say?

Jack: She was giving me advice, which is funny because when dad passed, I — I used to visit with him from time to time — he’d give me advice or an earful when I needed it.

Traci: [ Laughs ] That sounds just like daddy. I see colleen, and I talk to her all the time.

Jack: Really?

Traci: Sometimes it’s just simple things, you know, like i just have written the perfect sentence. And sometimes it’s a little more significant. On the day that she came into this world…or on the day that she left it.

[ Sighs ] I think it’s perfectly normal.

Jack: You never told me that.

Traci: I didn’t think it was that big a deal.

Jack: I don’t know. Maybe not. I just think it’s amazing that I’m so invested in parental advice. It’s not like I listened to dad when he actually offered it.

Traci: [ Laughs ] Few children do.

Jack: Then of course there was dina…who I always felt so distant from in those later years, so disconnected.

Traci: Jack, it wasn’t like she was known for her personal counsel or anything parental, for that matter. I don’t think it’s odd at all that you would want to hear their voices, listen to the things they have to tell you noW.

Jack: No?

Traci: Love never really leaves us. It — it changes form, and i guess it’s our responsibility to recognize it when it comes back into our lives.

Jack: You’re exactly right. That’s why you have to stop worrying about me.

Traci: Oh, have we circled back to phyllis again?

Jack: No. You were right. You said it. Love comes and goes. It changes shape. It never dies. It’s just part of life. Everyone who has touched our heart somehow stays there. And I think we’re all the better for it.

Phyllis: I feel like this is my fault.

Nick: Why would you say that?

Phyllis: Because I’m the one who encouraged you to follow your instincts regarding ashland.

Nick: [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: I’m the one who did that. I encouraged you to go to new jersey. And now I think I made the wrong decision.

Nick: You didn’t force my hand, alright? I was gonna go through with this whether you gave me your approval or not. It was completely my decision.

Phyllis: And now?

Nick: I have zero regrets. I did what I thought was right, what any brother should do. You know, I’m still trying to get a grip on what’s going on in vick’s head. She lashed out at me after i told her the truth about ashland and continued to defend him. Um…my sister’s no fool. She doesn’t ignore facts. She agrees that what I told her was accurate, and in spite of everything, she, uh — she still loves and respects him.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] I don’t know. Maybe this is what victoria needed to realize that love is profound. Uh, I don’t know. Maybe it strengthened her bond with ashland. Maybe you helped her — you helped her go into this marriage with her eyes wide open.

Nick: Look, I appreciate what you’re trying to do, but I know my sister. I don’t think she’s gonna see it like that. At least, not any time soon.

Ashland: Thank you.

Victoria: Ashland.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Sally: If I cannot bring victoria to the dress, then i will bring the dress to victoria.

Tessa: The baby is in amazing hands. You don’t have to worry about him.

Mariah: Tessa, I can’t just stop caring about the baby because we don’t live with him anymore!

Victoria: Does this have to do with an actual crime?

Ashland: It does.

Victoria: Tell me everything.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, I hope what the hell is this? You barge into my house, and you try to intimidate me with your goons? You see, your problem is your sense of entitlement. You think you can take anything anytime you want. Sonny, I don’t have any idea what you are talking about. You are lucky that I didn’t come home a day later, ’cause i wouldn’t have stopped until you were dead. What’s up? You both got texts. Is it joss? Yeah. Something going on? You tell me. How much did nina tell you about her life in nixon falls? Enough to confirm that she knew that sonny was alive and well the whole time, and she didn’t tell me or sonny’s family. Why, is there more? What else is nina keeping from me? What could be worse than keeping my husband from me, jax? Maxie: Nina. Hi. Thank you for finally answering my texts. I must have sent you like a gazillion. 22. I’m sorry, maxie. I did. I silenced my phone. I just didn’t want any interruptions. I was with wiley, and my time with him is beyond precious right now. I take it carly found you? That she did. And if carly has her way, which she usually does, I’ll never see my grandson again. You’re outside? The brisk night air makes me feel alive.

[ Sighs ] Well, you know…

[Chuckles] We city folk don’t understand you mountain folk, because, you know, we got the sense god gave a goose. When it gets cold, we go inside. Says the man who fell to earth. How you feeling? I’m indestructible. Glad to hear it. And I’m glad that you called. You have news concerning the lawsuit contesting edward’s will? Yeah, yeah, I knew the quartermaine lawyers were going to try and pull one in pre-trial, so I-I swatted them like horseflies. You are on the docket. Cool. Two weeks, you’ll be in court. Fantastic. And the letter that chase found from edward’s lawyer, uh, will prove that it was edward’s intent to include my father in the will. Yeah, they — they tried to block it from being put into evidence. But they failed, because, you know, edward died before jimmy lee holt was put into the will. So we have to prove that was edward’s intent. And my father will finally be recognized as a quartermaine. Yes, and if we win, you will get your proper elq shares. However, we are dealing with the quartermaines. So before we start doing the jig, know that with them, always expect… …the unexpected. Ned: Unacceptable! There’s always more we can do. So I suggest you and our overpriced legal team pull an all-nighter and come up with at least five more strategies. I’ll look forward to hearing them all tomorrow morning. Good night, candace. There you are. Ah, there you are. Ah. Ah, I’m so happy to be home. You may not feel that way when I’m through with you. No reply? Your victory speaks for itself? Although I suppose it’s a rather hollow victory, isn’t it? You may have blown up my marriage, but I can go anywhere I want to in the world. And you can’t even get out of that chair. You are all trespassing on my property, and I want you out of here now! With everything going on in my life, I don’t need this right now. But I am not leaving here until we have an understanding.

You’re right, carly. Nina keeping sonny from you was inexcusable. But that’s really all that needs to be said about it. You dodged a bullet, okay? Be grateful, because nina would destroy your life. Alright, yeah.

[ Door opens ] Mom. Did jason find you? Carly: Yes. I’m so sorry I worried you. No. No, I-I wasn’t worried. In fact, I feel bad about meddling. I know that you always say jason’s the best at making you think things through. He is, and I’m glad that you felt you could reach out to him, okay? Yeah. Did mom tell you about nina? How she knew that sonny’s been alive for months? Yeah, I was pretty surprised when I found out. Look, dad, I know that you really cared about nina. But lying to everyone for all those months, leaving us here to think that sonny was dead when he wasn’t — I mean, I don’t even understand how she’s capable of doing something like that. This woman gave me a graduation present. Well, sometimes unhappy people do desperate things. Yeah, okay. Hey. Hey. I hope that I didn’t make a mistake bringing maxie over and dumping that on you after everything else. It’s just been one shock after the other. I’m sure your head is spinning. Listen to me. I am grateful. You did the right thing. I prefer to know the truth. I just wish that he had come back one day earlier, before the wedding, before everything else. Yeah, me, too. Are you guys fighting again? I am so sorry, nina. I tried to avoid telling carly, but josslyn could tell I was holding something back. No, I understand. I do. You were under a lot of pressure, and josslyn’s a lot like her mother in that respect. She won’t take no for an answer. No, she won’T. And once josslyn set things in motion, I realized that if I was carly, I would want to know, and I didn’t really have the right not to tell her. It’s fine. It’s fine. I knew it was only a matter of time before carly found out. Okay, well, I-I didn’t tell her everything. I didn’t even mention a hint of romance between you and sonny. Yeah. I actually don’t think that she knows. And she was already breathing fire when she yelled at me, and god knows I wasn’t going to fill her in on the details. I — I think that it is sonny’s job to tell carly what happened between us. Why do you think sonny hasn’t mentioned it to carly already? Well? Start talking. You know, I can’t think of anything I’ve done to upset you. Not me. Olivia. Oh. I definitely noticed an uptick in slamming doors lately. What did you do? Why do you assume I am to blame? Aren’t you supposed to be on my side? I am. Consider this a little tough love. Look, dad, I don’t want you to be a jerk to olivia and — and lose her again. I thought you guys were doing better, you know, on the road to reconciliation. So did I. But after leo ran off in the hospital and austin found him, things have changed. Changed how? Okay, I only bring this up because a child’s life could be affected. So, austin said — who cares what austin said? I knew this guy would cause trouble. As stimulating as this conversation is, I really do have to go. Oh, good luck with that whole “blinking in morse code” thing. I’m so glad you’re alive. I used to wish you were dead. But this is so much better. Goodbye, ryan. Esme. W-what are you doing here? So what? It’s a photo of esme meeting my uncle sonny. Scroll down. Joss said that esme spoke to mr. Corinthos for a bit, and afterwards, when he left, he wasn’t happy. And now here he is. Looking for your dad with two scary-looking dudes. Why are you in my house issuing threats? Oh, it’s — it’s not a-a threat. It’s a promise. You and ava aren’t taking avery from me, and if you try, you will pay. Maybe whatever happened to you while you were away is having an effect, but you are not making any sense. It doesn’t matter where I was or what happened to me. And I’m glad I got here in time to hear about your plans to run off with ava and avery. That was months ago. Uh — no, ava refused to leave. Why are you bringing that up now? I heard about the plane tickets from spencer’s girlfriend! You’re saying esme told you about this? No, she must have got something wrong. Let me go get spencer.No, no, you got it all wrong. Running away is a pattern with you. Always has been. But let me tell you something. You and ava are not taking avery from me. She’s staying here. And I’m going to make sure of it.

I am confused. You just told me that the letter was entered into evidence, and the quartermaines set up a bunch of road blocks, but you plowed right through them. So what is it that they can do? It’s up to the court at this point, no? Yeah, but the — the quartermaines have a lot of influence in this town, a-and they like to throw that weight around to get what they want. I don’t know about that. I’ve spent a little bit of time with both michael and ned, and I find them both to be pretty reasonable men. Reasonable? Yeah. Michael handed over the letter. Don’t forget that. And I have every confidence that both he and — he and ned are going to come around in the end. Listen, I-I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but I’ve dealt with the quartermaines for a long, long time. They are a tricky bunch. They are very stubborn, and they’re very devious. And they learned that from old edward himself. I can be stubborn, too. And I can be very convincing when I’m right. In fact, the other day, I had a conversation with ned. And I think I got through to him. This isn’t about austin. It’s about leo. What does austin have to do with leo? That’s what I’m trying to tell you. Fine. Proceed. So, austin noticed some of leo’s behaviors and spoke to me about them as a medical professional. He was concerned and thought that leo could benefit from seeing a specialist. Specialist? For what? To see if leo is on the autism spectrum. Mrs. Cassadine. Hi. I didn’t expect to see you here. Likewise. I’m hoping to speak to someone about possibly interning here. Uh, at spring ridge? I’m very interested in psychology. Um, spence and I are auditing some classes at pcu, and I thought some, uh, real-world experience would be good. Wow. Well, you would certainly be diving into the deep end.

[ Chuckles ] Well, yes. It is a prison, but it’s minimum security, and there are some unusual cases here. I sincerely hope you don’t mean ryan chamberlain. Oh! That’s right. Uh, he was your fiancé once. You need to stay far away from him, do you hear me? But my understanding is he’s locked in. Uh… he can only blink. So, y-you know about his condition? Everyone does. I-it’s very fascinating.

[ Chuckles ] And he’s hardly a threat. Ryan chamberlain is always a threat. As long as he can communicate, even by blinking, he can mess with your head. I had no idea. Well, you do now. Consider yourself warned. What makes you think spence’s dad is going to bora bora? Well, I was — I was talking to trina, and she said she booked two first-class tickets for mr. Cassadine and ava. You know, to celebrate calling off their divorce. Ava: I have to go. Excuse me. Ava! Um… may I call you ava? I just want to say I’m really happy for you. Why? I hear bora bora is beautiful. Uh, technically, I guess I’m — I’m going to an island, but not bora bora. Why did you think I was going there? Sonny made it very, very clear that he didn’t owe me an explanation, that his loyalty and his priority is with his family. Wait, you saw sonny? I thought we agreed you were going to let him settle back in with carly and let the dust clear. No, we did agree that, and I intended to do that. Uh, I went to the cemetery to see j, and… I ran into sonny looking at his grave site. Oh, how’d that go? He said to me that mike didn’t exist, so what we had wasn’t real. Okay, nina, sonny is going to go back to his old life. I know that. My head understands that. But my heart is confused. It’s just painful. You’re probably not the only one who’s confused. Sonny can’t pretend that his time with you wasn’t real. I mean, he has to care for you on some level. Which is probably why he didn’t tell carly about the two of you. Sonny might not want to admit it, but he’s protecting you.

[ Grunts ] You’re making a mistake! Let him go! Uncle sonny, stop this. Spencer, it doesn’t concern you. Of course it concerns me. He’s my father. What is going on here? Sonny is not in his right mind. He thinks that ava and i are running away with avery. You’re mistaken. F-father and ava are leaving. They’re not taking avery. I-it’s funny, ’cause he was — he claimed he wasn’t leaving.

[ Laughs ] I wasn’t! We — we aren’T. I don’t have any idea where any of this is coming from. Shut up. Stop lying. Let’s go. Get him outta here. No, no, no! Wait! Okay, spencer, your — your dad and I, we’re just going to have a little conversation. That’s all. Just show him the tickets, and he’s going to see that avery wasn’t going with you guys. There are no tickets. Okay, but cam said that you guys were already on your way — look, we lied about the tickets!We’re so, so sorry!

Nd sonnyhave never really gotten along, but we’re really happy that he’s alive and well. No, I’m really happy that he’s alive, too, sweetheart. Hey. Your father and I are always going to be there for you, no matter what’s going on, okay? You know that. Yeah, mom, I know. I’ve been hearing that my whole life. But I am old enough now to realize when there’s tension between the two of you. And whether you like it or not, it affects me. Okay. You know what? You’re — you’re right. Your mother and i were discussing sonny. Discussing him? How? Uh, when I suspected that sonny might be in nixon falls, I went there myself to check it out. And that’s when I confronted nina, and she confessed to everything. And then after sonny was in the fire, he got his memory back, and that’s when I-I offered him my jet to — to take him home. Well, good. Thank you. But why is there tension over that? Because your mother feels that if I would have told her about my hunch that sonny was alive, that she would have postponed the wedding to jason. Right? And I’m trying to understand why your father kept his hunch to himself. Right? Well… isn’t it better with it all out in the open?

[ Sighs ] Uh, he hasn’t told carly because he hasn’t had a chance, you know? He’s busy — no, really. He’s busy reconnecting with her and his family. I don’t know. I know. If he’s protecting anyone, he’s protecting carly. He knows her anger, and he probably doesn’t want it getting the best of her. Seriously. Don’t give me that look. I can see — okay. Austin: Hello again. Hi! Hi. Austin, uh, this is nina, my sister-in-law. Nina, this is austin, the doctor who helped deliver louise. Mm. Nice to meet you. Well, it’s an honor to meet you, and thank you for helping out my beautiful sister-in-law and her baby. It was a pleasure. I only wish I could have done more to keep them both safe. Are you kidding? You kept them alive, and I will forever be grateful that you were there that night. Yeah, me, too. You know, your sister-in-law, she’s kind of a superhero.

[ Sighs ] She gave birth, and then like moments later, she’s running through the woods, baby in arms. She’s feisty. Ooh. You’re feisty. He’s only saying that because I yelled at him. I was in pain, and he called me ma’am. I am truly sorry for that. But I’ve learned my lesson, miss maxie. It will never happen again. I promise.

[ Chuckles ] Austin claimed leo is autistic? No, no, just — no, he was careful not to offer a diagnosis. That’s what the specialist would do. Uh, because that’s a specialist’s job, not austin’S. Okay — uh, austin’s not even leo’s doctor. I mean, it’s a good thing, because he obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Has — has leo’s pediatrician said anything? No. And you went to olivia with this nonsense. That’s why you guys are on the outs. It’s not nonsense. I’ve done a little research on my own, okay? And I’m still, you know, learning the correct terminology, but I think leo is exhibiting some signs. Like what?

[ Sighs ] Well, like have you ever noticed how hard it is to get leo’s attention, especially when he’s focused on a toy? So the kid has a good attention span. That’s — that’s a reason to worry? He rarely makes eye contact. He’s shy, dad. Well, that’s what olivia says. But what if we’re missing something, okay? What if leo just sees the world differently than we do? Shouldn’t we know that? Shouldn’t we give him what he needs? What leo needs is for you to stop falling for austin’s mind games. Somebody has to start talking. There were no tickets. It was part of our plan. We were just trying to catch esme and spencer. Well, it was more like my plan. But we had no idea that esme — but I never meant for any of this to happen. Oh, so you tricked me? It was for your own good. Okay, okay. Take a breath, alright? Start again. Cam, joss, and I — josslyn was in on this?

[ Sighs ] We told esme and spencer that ava asked me to get them tickets to bora bora, so they’d think that nikolas and ava ran away together. But we never said avery was going with them. Esme made that up. Aren’t you guys too old for pranks? Mr. Corinthos, this wasn’t a prank. We were trying to prove that esme and spencer were behind ava’s stalking. We’ve been down that road. Spencer couldn’t have been ava’s stalker. You guys were at the party. I’m disappointed in both of you and josslyn, as well. You both owe spencer and all of us an apology. I’ll be speaking to your parents about this. And I’ll also take an apology from you, sonny. Or if you’re not man enough, you can just get the hell out of my house. Don’t press your luck. It’s not luck. You were wrong. Okay, stop. That’s enough. I’m the one who owes everyone an apology. They were right. I did it.

It ever occur to youthat austin might be trying to split your focus, you know, cause a rift in the family? Think about it, dad. If you’re busy worrying about leo, maybe you’ll drop the ball on austin’s case. I am not dropping anything. I have navigated takeovers and tricky mergers under far worse conditions. Oh, just like michael navigated a-a takeover while he was busy fighting for custody of wiley? Oh, wait, he didn’T. That was you who was in charge when valentin became ceo. Austin is no valentin cassadine. Yes, he may be trying to sneak in through the back door, but he is not using leo to do it. Really? Am I concerned about leo? Yes. Is he my priority? Yes. But I am handling this lawsuit. Speaking of which, how’s that going, by the way, hmm? Well, I just spoke to candace, our head attorney, on the phone, and a court date has been set. Wow. So austin is actually making progress. Uh, nothing is a done deal.

[ Sighs ] But this court battle is a completely separate thing than leo’s health. You sure about that? Because austin doesn’t seem to be. Brook lynn? What? Be honest with me. We have all seen how leo is completely antisocial. I mean, he doesn’t really have any friends. He prefers to play by himself. So do a lot of kids. It doesn’t mean he has autism. Agreed. But it can’t hurt to have him just checked out. I just don’t think austin is making things up. Right. He’s just distorting what he observed over a whopping 20 minutes with leo just to frighten and scare you, and distract you, might I add. Austin doesn’t care about leo, dad. He only cares about number one. Alright, I need to get going, okay? It’s been a really, really long day. Thank you for the conversation. Are you sure you don’t want to talk more? Yeah, I don’t want to talk anymore, okay? How about this? How about I call you in the morning? And I really want to see james, alright? Nice meeting you. Likewise.

[ Clicks tongue ] Oh, oh. Well, look who’s back in town. Hi, scott. Ugh, hi to you, too. Now, why did you go get your aunt involved with peter august? He was blackmailing you. Now liesl is god knows where. Uh, I was gassed and chucked out of a plane like a sack of potatoes. I-I didn’t mean to put aunt liesl in danger. I just asked for help. The plan was her idea. Well, it may have been, but peter august found out. Now she’s in danger. I just — I just keep telling myself that my aunt is more than capable of taking care of herself. No. No, no, no, no. See, she doesn’t have do that, because I’m in charge now, and I’m going to find her. Do you mind if I join you? With your ex lurking out there somewhere, you might not want to be alone. Okay, I don’t want to take advantage of your chivalry under false pretenses, so you should know there are two plainclothes cops outside keeping an eye out for peter. No kidding. Oh, but just because I don’t need you to guard me doesn’t mean I wouldn’t enjoy your company.

And every now and then, you smile I’m sorry. Uh, trina wasn’t supposed to say anything, was she? I get it. You and nikolas want to keep it secret. But, I mean, you don’t have to worry about me. I’m, uh, practically family. I don’t have the slightest idea what you’re talking about. You, uh, leaving town? What about it? You know, I probably got it wrong. I can be so ditzy sometimes. Just, uh, forget I said anything. Yes. Well… goodbye. I’m really glad that I ran into you. You know, I’m only at dad’s to pick up my laundry. I’m pretty sure your dad only installed that washer and dryer just to lure you here. It’s very possible. Well, you could call me spoiled, or you could say that by bringing my laundry here, I am freeing the machines near the dorms for students who don’t have family within a 5-mile radius. That’s my girl. Mm. Are you going back to the dorm tonight? Yeah. Cam, trina, and I, we’re… working on a project. Spencer, you don’t have to say anything. Just stay out of it. No, no. Let him talk. I was the stalker. The reason I knew about ava getting the cockroach for valentine’s day wasn’t because I found it online. It was because I sent it to her. And the bear and the creepy letters and the vandalism to the art studio. I’m sorry, trina. Spencer… I wanted ava out of our lives. I mean, she already betrayed me once when I needed her to testify against valentin. How could I ever trust her after that? How could we ever trust her after that?! I mean, really?

[ Cellphone ringing ] The night of your party, ava’s car was set on fire. It couldn’t have been you. That was esme.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] The grounds are all secure. Great. We’re going out. But dr. Quartermaine said we all get dessert. I’ll buy you a cookie. We’ll call bailey’s nanny on the way. Here, you drive. Leo. Hey. Kind of late for you to be up playing, isn’t it? What’s the matter? Leo? Can’t sleep? Jax: You know, it was the pasta sauce that trina gave you and your reaction that tipped me off. Plus, I thought I saw sonny nixon falls right after I was shot. You did? Yeah, and, uh, well, nina — nina convinced me that I was dreaming. Wait, she lied to you after you got shot trying to protect her? I — god. I cannot believe nina. God, this is so twisted. I-I don’t think she was acting out of malice. No, who cares why she did it? We spent nine months thinking sonny was dead when he wasn’T. No, you’re right. You’re right. What nina did was unforgivable. So does this mean you’re over her? For good this time? I’m really glad that you and my aunt found each other. I really missed a lot being in nixon falls. Yeah, with sonny. Maxie explained it all to me, how peter august was blackmailing you. Great. So you think I’m horrible, too, keeping sonny away from his family all this time. No, no, no. I-I — hey. I don’t judge anyone. I just felt that it was much more enjoyable in port charles without sonny corinthos. I wish you would have kept him in that podunk town. We’d all be better off. Well, obviously, scott, not everyone feels that way. Sonny, he’s a really good guy, and he was missed. And his loved ones are thrilled to have him back. Ohh. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for him, too. Esme torched ava’s car? Only because I told her to. She went along with my plans out of a sense of loyalty to me. It was my idea. I’m responsible. Just me. You know, I heard about that bear with ryan’s voice. You — you left it for avery? It was — it was never my intention to scare her. I was trying to scare ava. Yeah, but you used my daughter. Your cousin. You implied that there was a threat. Yeah, but — but there wasn’T. Alright. You know what? I’m gonna — I’ll — I’ll take this up with you later. And, hey. We’re done for now. I’ll, um — I’ll give you guys some privacy. I just saw mr. Corinthos and his men leave. I thought he’d still be mad, but he just said, “thanks, trina.” Why do you look so unhappy? Spencer confessed. Wasn’t that the plan? Yeah, but didn’t you see the look on his face? How could I be happy about that? Yeah. It’s seriously messed up. We should tell joss, and we should also leave. No. Not until she gets here. Dad. Say something. Please.

U were terrified the nightthat louise was born. I remember. And I believe that you were terrified when you found out that peter had been spotted. And from what I’ve come to learn about peter august, y-you have every right to be terrified. And yet here you are, living your life, in spite of everything that’s happened. You have real courage, maxie. Don’t give me too much credit. I was terrified that peter would come back for me somehow. But now that I’ve had time to think and prepare my mind, I assure you, if he comes for me, he won’t get the best of me this time.

[ Sighs ] Have a seat. Order whatever kind of dessert you think monica would like. Brook lynn! Isn’t it a little late for deception business? Stay out of my family’s business. You are my family.

[ Chuckles ] I know what you’re up to, and it’s not going to work. Um, brook lynn? I think at this point, it’s up to the courts to decide that. This isn’t about your lawsuit. Stop trying to use leo to distract my father. I would never use a child. Ever. I just want what’s best for leo. Well, leo is none of your concern. You might have quartermaine dna, but you are not family. Far from it. You know, sometimes I have trouble sleeping. But I have to keep trying, because I have to get up and go to work in the morning, just like you have to get up and go to school, right? I want to play. I know you do. But you need your sleep. We all do. Hey, why did you get out of bed? Did you have a bad dream?

[ Humming ] Leo? You can tell me. What’s the matter? Leo. Leo. Sorry about the delay. Thought ava would never leave. You want me to say something? And what would that be? Spencer, you hated me because I left you. And then you wind up causing ava to do the same thing to her little girl?! And for what?! There was no threat! We were happy. We were building a life. We were building a family together, and we would have let you into all of that. So why? Why would you do this? Do you hate me that much? No, fa– no, father, I don’t hate you. Okay, then please tell me that this is a horrible mistake and that none of this is true! What isn’t true? Scott, really? Well, now, you’re not the first girl that has fallen for sonny’s dimples, slicked-back hair. He’s bad news. I’m going to leave it at that. You’re wrong about sonny. And you’re wrong about me. Here. Why are you giving me this? Why are you giving me your card? Because sonny is very, very dangerous. And you know who’s more dangerous? Carly. So, you’re going to have two courses of action. One would be legal. The other would be…

[ Squelching ] Yeah. Watch out.

[ Door closes ]

[ Footsteps ]

[ Sonny sighs ] You started without me? Yeah.

[ Sighs ] I got your text about dr. Sullivan. How’d it go? He got me — got me back on my old prescription. And he says I’m doing well. That’s good. Something on your mind? Not something. Someone. Nina.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ben: We really shouldn’t have bought this much stuff in new orleans, babe. I’d have carried you across the threshold but I think I threw my back out coming up the stairs.

Ciara: Well, how many chances do you have to get canned jambalaya and mardi gras beads? And besides that whole threshold business, that’s just a silly tradition. We are home. We are here in our own place. We’re married. We’re married babe. And we have tons of cool memories of our first trip together. That is all that I really want.

Ben: Welcome home, mrs. Weston.

Ciara: Same to you, mr. Weston.

Ben: Here we are, what do we do first? Do we unpack? Or–

Ciara: Well, you know what I want.

Ben: You know what I want.

Both: Cheeseburgers.

Ciara: Yes.

Ben: Yay.

Chanel: [Ahem] Come on, you two. Get a room.

Johnny: So what do you say? You sound like you’re interested and like I said, you would be perfect for it.

Abigail: I’m–

Chad: Hi, perfect for what?

Johnny: No big deal. Just trying to convince your wife to be my grandmother.

Chad: Oh.

John: Yeah, that’s right. Marlena is trying to help you, buddy.

Doug: John, marlena needs our help. She tried to–she– oh, dear god.

John: It’s okay, it’s okay. She tried to what, doug?

Doug: Kill me.

John: Oh, doug. No, no, no. Marlena loves you. She only wants you to get well. Why would she try to kill you?

Doug: Because I know, I–because I–

John: It’s okay, it’s okay. Hold on, hold on. You okay buddy? You all right? Do you want me to call a nurse?

Doug: No, what I want you to do is believe me. Marlena…she wants me dead.

[Eerie off-key notes]

[Scratching, static]

Devil voice: Dear marlena, did you really need to play this tape? I’m so hurt that you’ve already forgotten our little reunion. Allow me to refresh your memory.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Tripp: Sorry about that.

Allie: Yeah, didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.

Chanel: Hey, it’s okay. I was joking, but you two might wanna tone down the pda in front of the bakery. We do have our professional reputation to think of.

Tripp: I wouldn’t worry about it, I mean your free samples went like hotcakes.

Chanel: Hot enough for people to pay money for them?

Allie: Oh, definitely.

Tripp: And it is also quitting time. So how about we have a little happy hour to celebrate?

Allie: Yeah, I mean, I have my nanny for another hour. Guess one glass of wine wouldn’t make me an unfit mother, right?

Tripp: Definitely not. Chanel?

Chanel: I– I don’t know.

Allie: Come on. You know what? We can see if the bartender will make us jean michel’s signature aperitif.

Tripp: What–what’s an aperitif? And who’s–who’s jean michel?

Allie: Well, an aperitif is what the french call a cocktail that you have before dinner.

Tripp: Oh, where I come from, they call it beer.

Chanel: And jean michel was a super-hot bartender on the left bank.

Allie: Okay, he wasn’t that hot.

Chanel: Oh, come on–

Allie: Okay, he was super-hot.

Tripp: You two went to paris together?

Allie: Yeah, just for the weekend–anyway this drink was so good that we made him like show us his secret formula. You know, I bet we could get the bartender at our new place to make it.

Chanel: Thanks, but I’m not used to being on my feet all day. I’m gonna close up and go home, watch something on my tablet and get to bed early.

Allie: Come on. It’s the weekend.

Chanel: I don’t know about you horton, but these 4:00 A.M. Wake-up calls are kicking my ass.

Allie: Okay, fine. I’ll see you tomorrow morning. You ready to go?

Tripp: Yeah.

Allie: Bye.

Devil voice: It’s been so long since our spectacular collaboration. I wasn’t sure if we would ever recreate that glory. Luckily, I found the key that opened a path to you in that vulnerable old man. He was the perfect vessel to entice you.

Marlena: Don’t you dare hurt him.

Demon doug: It won’t be me who hurts him. It will be you. Your selfishness. Your choice to protect yourself. Doug be damned so to speak.

Marlena: He doesn’t deserve this.

Demon doug: No, he doesn’T. It doesn’t have to happen. It’s so simple. All you have to do is invite me back into you.

Marlena: I won’T.

Demon doug: Are you sure?

Marlena: Never!

Demon doug: Ha ha ha…

Doug: Aah! Oh…oh…ah–

Devil voice: Ha ha ha. I gave you a choice marlena, and you made the right one. I could have easily killed the old man, but you spared his life by letting me take control. I was so pleased. I envisioned all the havoc we could wreak together. So imagine my disappointment when you turned away from me. When you listened instead to your imbecile of a husband.

John: Hey, come on, doug. You know that’s not true.

Doug: I’m sorry, john. I’m so sorry.

John: That’s–that’s okay. You don’t have to be sorry. You’re just…just a little confused right now.

Doug: Listen to me john, listen. Marlena did try to kill me. And if you won’t believe me, and if you don’t do something to stop her, she’ll try again. Is that what you want for me too? You want me to die? As someone who resembles someone else…

Tripp: So you think that’s gonna live up to jean michel’s signature whatever that is?

Allie: Well, there’s only one way to find out. Ciara.

Ciara: Allie, hi.

Allie: Hi.

Ciara: Hi.

Allie: Oh, my god, I had no idea you guys were home.

Ciara: Yeah, we just got back.

Ben: This lady has been riding the back of a motorcycle for four days, so the least I can do is buy her a drink and a burger.

Ciara: This is my favorite place to go after I come home from a trip.

Tripp: Oh, you came to the right place.

Allie: Yeah, this place has a great happy hour. You guys should join us. If that’s okay with you?

Tripp: Yeah, yeah. It’s fine with me.

Ciara: Yeah, okay.

Ben: Yeah. This is nice.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Allie, what are you drinking over there?

Allie: It is jean michel’s signature aperitif.

Ben: A what, huh?

Tripp: I have gin and tonic

Ben: Okay

Ciara: My personal favorite.

Tripp: I honestly couldn’t tell you what’s in allie’s drink.

Allie: Yeah, we just got them–I think they’re a little short-staffed tonight.

Tripp: Well, you know what, here. Why don’t you take my drink since it’s your favorite.

Ciara: Aww, thank you.

Tripp: And ben and I can go to the bar and grab some more.

Ben: That sounds like a plan.

Allie: So how was the honeymoon?

Ciara: The honeymoon was absolutely perfect.

Allie: Details, details. I wanna hear everything.

Chad: So you want abby to be your grandma?

Johnny: Well, not in real life, but…

Chad: Oh, right. So like it’s a–like a–a film director role play little thingy.

Johnny: In–in a way. Yeah.

Abigail: Stop teasing him.

Chad: What?

Abigail: Johnny wants to make a movie about demonic possession and he wants me to play marlena.

Chad: Really?

Johnny: She’d be great. She’s a natural actress.

Chad: Okay, when did–when did, “the sami brady story” become about demonic possession?

Johnny: Well, since I realized the audiences like a good horror movie and still a “sami brady story” but grandma’s a big part of mom’s story.

Chad: Uh-huh. And like you said, a whole genre is gonna be easier to sell so better investments?

Johnny: You must’ve read my mind. Grandpa roman and lucas have already agreed to put money into my movie. And you’ve been really supportive of this project, so I was thinking maybe–

Chad: Yup, I would love to hear your pitch.

Johnny: Great. I’m still working on getting some storyboards together, but they won’t show what abby can do as an actress.

Chad: No pressure or anything. Well, what do you think about all this?

Abigail: I am not sure.

Johnny: Look, I can see that you guys still need some time to talk. Make up your minds. But I have a working draft of the script if you wanna take a look at it.

Chad: Yup.

Johnny: Great. I have marked the parts that I really want you to read. If you could read it sooner rather than later, I would really appreciate it. I know you’re not gonna be able to turn me down. Now, if you’ll excuse me there’s something I have to do.

Devil voice: Thanks to the cursed power of john’s prayer, you and I were torn apart. You had so graciously invited me in. I was tucked up, warm and cozy. Then that so-called priest had to go and invoke god.

[Intense music]

John: Doug, hey, hey, hey, buddy. Hey, hey, hey, take it easy–take it easy. Getting worked up like this isn’t gonna do you any good.

Doug: I have to convince you. You have to believe me, marlena really wants me dead.

John: Doug, listen to me. Listen to me doug, I want you to–are you listening to me?

Doug: Yeah.

John: Okay, everything’s gonna be okay. Marlena and I, we both love you. We’re really worried about you right now. We’re gonna figure this out. Now, what I’m gonna do right now–listen to me– I’m gonna go get kayla and I’m gonna have her come back here and she’s gonna give you a little something to calm you down.

Doug: No, I don’t wanna be drugged. No, john, please don’t go. Don’t, john. Turns out deb’s constipation with belly pain

Allie: So new orleans is a good place to honeymoon?

Ciara: Oh my god, it’s the best. And my mom and dad really loved it there, so that made it all the more special. Oh my god, allie, it was everything i could’ve wanted in a honeymoon. Except…

Allie: What happened?

Ciara: Nothing. Nothing happened. It’s–okay, so ben and I were camping and we were having the most romantic morning, and I sort of blurted out that I wanted to have a baby.

Allie: What was ben’s reaction?

Ciara: Well, it pretty much killed the romantic mood.

Allie: So he wasn’t super into the idea, huh?

Ciara: To put it mildly, no.

Allie: Well, honestly, I kinda get it. Especially now. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I love henry with all my heart, but people are not kidding when they say having a kid changes your entire life. After everything you and ben have been through, I think you guys deserve to have time to just be newlyweds. You know, be free to do whatever you want. Like, are you gonna wanna keep your motorcycle when you have a baby to think of?

Ciara: Yeah, that’s what ben said.

Allie: See, he just wants you all to himself for a little while.

Ciara: Yeah, that’s true. But allie, that’s not all he said.

Ben: So you really don’t even know what’s in allie’s drink, huh?

Tripp: She told me a few ingredients, but I forget now. And I–I think we’re safer with two drafts.

Ben: Gotcha. Cheers.

Tripp: Yeah, let’s go join the girls.

Ben: Hey, tripp, hang on a second. You’re like a real doctor now right?

Tripp: Med student.

Ben: But you treat patients?

Tripp: Yeah.

Ben: Just wondering if maybe you’d be able to answer a little medical question for me?

Tripp: Okay are you–are you sick?

Ben: No, no, no. I mean, not the way you’re thinking. Anyway, the question is, say somebody committed a horrible crime more than once. Is it possible to then pass that evil onto their own child?

Devil voice: As soon as you let me in, I feel you fighting me. But I was certain that in time, you would succumb to my desires. Be my willing instrument once more. Our first effort? Getting rid of that old man. You were a vision holding that pillow over his head. But then john had to say that prayer. Tell that old cronie how much he loved you, and I could feel my grip loosening. And that damned detective had to walk in. Before I could stop it, I’d been cast out. Once again reduced to the outsider looking in, but no more. It’s time for you to let me back in, marlena. I will not allow you to leave me, not when we have so much work to do.

John: Hey, julie.

Julie: You’re not with doug?

John: Well, I just stepped out to find kayla. Doug woke up a few minutes ago, but he’s saying some very strange things.

Julie: Strange? How strange? Just tell me john.

John: He said–he said marlena is trying to kill him.

Julie: What?

John: Yeah.

Julie: Oh my– are you sure?

John: I–I know it doesn’t make any sense, but yes julie. I’m–I’m sure that’s exactly what he said.

Johnny: When I think

of you I feel like I can fly

in my airplane

writing letters in the sky

Chanel: Excuse me.

Johnny: Yes.

Chanel: Giovanni, who you think you are? One of those singing gondoliers or something?

Johnny: I think, I’m a guy who’s come here to woo a beautiful lady. Now, if you don’t mind, can I proceed?

When I think of you

I feel like I can fly

in my airplane

writing letters in the sky

take my rose-holding hand

join my one-man band

we were meant to be

I’ve seen it in a dream you like that? Yeah?

Waking up to you

is all I wanna do

and I just can’t believe

the way I feel for you

so take my rose-holding hand

join my one-man band

we were meant to be

I’ve seen it in a dream I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Chad: I went over the numbers with accounting and if the profit margin stays this solid, then the stockholders are gonna be very, very happy with the annual report.

Abigail: Good.

Chad: Which means my plan to bring a live bull into the meeting is just gonna bring the house down.

Abigail: A bull market, huh?

Chad: Abigail deveraux dimera?

Abigail: What?

Chad: Script must be a real page turner, huh?

Abigail: I get to be a panther.

Chad: Well, I’m guessing they’ll probably just sub a real panther for that, right?

Abigail: Hmm.

Chad: I guess unless–unless johnny doesn’t wanna use cgi.

Abigail: Yeah, and you’re probably right. But I’ve–the scene before, it shows marlena harnessing her panther energy.

Chad: Panther energy?

Abigail: I know this all sounds really out there, but it is my job to make it all sound believable.

Chad: Your–it’s your job? You’re not seriously thinking about doing this. Are you?

Julie: It has to be the medication. It’s making him paranoid. Once the drugs wear off, he’ll know that isn’t true. He’ll know–he knows marlena loves him.

John: I reminded him of that.

Julie: And what did he say?

John: Julie, he just got really upset that I didn’t believe him–that’s why I’m trying to find marlena just to take a look at him.

Julie: Thank you, john. Good. I’ll–I’ll go sit with him.

John: All right, I just hope he’s calmed down a little bit.

Julie: Yes, well, so do I.

Marlena: You can’t make me help me you. I won’t do it, fine.

Devil voice: There’s no use fighting it, my dear. You know I always win in the end. Besides, don’t you remember the fun we had together? And this time I have an even grander agenda. But first, we have to tie up a few loose ends.

Marlena: What loose ends?

Devil voice: That tedious old man is still lying in the hospital, and our little encounter was undoubtedly the most exciting thing that ever happened to him. He’ll be dying to tell anyone who’ll listen. We can’t have that, can we? Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection,

Johnny: We were meant

to be

’cause I’ve seen it

in a dream, yeah

Chanel: Whoo.

Johnny: Thank you. Thank you very much.

Chanel: Okay, so what was that?

Johnny: Well, that was me wooing you. I told you last night, I was gonna serenade you.

Chanel: Hmm, I didn’t know you meant for real.

Johnny: Ideally, you would have been on a balcony with a rose in your teeth, but hey, you can’t have everything.

Chanel: Oh, so there just happened to be a guitar lying around the dimera mansion?

Johnny: There probably is, but no, this one’s mine. For a while, I wanted to be a rock star.

Chanel: Hmm, and when’s that?

Johnny: That was right before I wanted to be a filmmaker and right after I gave up on being an fbi agent.

Chanel: Oh-oh, you just keep reinventing yourself, huh? You sound like me.

Johnny: See, we’re perfect for each other.

Chanel: Although, I don’t know how good you’d be at being a g-man.

Johnny: You kidding me? I would be the best.

Chanel: Or at–or at making movies.

Johnny: I already know what I’m gonna wear to the cannes film festival.

Chanel: Okay, well, but I do know that you could definitely be a rock star. But seriously, I had no idea you could play like that.

Johnny: Oh, what can I say? I’m a man of many talents.

Allie: Ben thinks that he’s going to pass his genes on to your child? Like the ones that made him mentally ill.

Ciara: Yeah, but he doesn’t just think it, he’s convinced of it. And he wasn’t just mentally ill, allie. He killed three people.

Allie: But, ciara, that doesn’t mean that your child is going to do that. I mean, look at henry’s father. And I don’t think that henry is gonna turn out like that. You know, rapist.

Ciara: No, and you shouldn’t be worried because you are an amazing mother and henry is so loved by so many people. And I’ve tried convincing ben that his problem was a father who beat him. Not that he has evil in his genes. I told him that she would be an amazing dad, but what if I can’t convince him? What if he never changes his mind? What if he doesn’t ever wanna have kids with me?

Tripp: So you’re asking me that if you and ciara had a baby–

Ben: Would our kid potentially be mentally ill like I was? I mean, could he end up homicidal?

Tripp: Ben, there’s not a homicidal gene, okay? You can’t pass something like that on to your children. But–but if you committed those crimes when you’re in a psychotic state–

Ben: I was. I’m still taking the medicine to control it.

Tripp: Psychosis can be genetically inherited. Which means your kid would have what they call a genetic predisposition toward having it too.

Ben: So I’m right?

Abigail: Trust me. I was just as surprised as you are that johnny asked me to play the part, but for argument’s sake, what’s so crazy about it?

Chad: Well, I mean, you just got back from–from boston. So maybe it’s–maybe it’s a little bit too soon to be jumping into something that you know absolutely nothing about.

Abigail: I know all kinds of things about it. I’ve seen movies.

Chad: Okay, okay. I’m–I’m gonna say this in–in the nicest way possible. No disrespect, but babe, you can’t act.

Abigail: I can so. I was the lead in, “stop that pancake” in second grade.

Chad: All right, and that prepared you to play a psychiatrist possessed by the devil?

Abigail: Look, johnny doesn’t wanna use real actors. And he thinks I can do it so, thomas and charlotte are gonna be at school. I’ve got time on my hands.

Chad: Well, what about your job at the “spectator”?

Abigail: And like you said, I’ve already been on leave of absence for four months. It’s run smoothly without me. I think it would continue to do so for a little while longer.

Chad: Wow, you’re serious about this aren’t you?

Doug: Oh, julie, thank god. Thank god.

Julie: Yes, I’m here, sweetheart. I’m here. Everything’s gonna be all right. You just a little confused right now.

Doug: Where’s john?

Julie: John went to get kayla ’cause kayla’s gonna know what to do.

Doug: No more–no more drugs, honey. No more drugs. I don’t want them.

Julie: No, sweetheart, the drugs are gonna help ’cause they’ll calm you down.

Doug: No, I don’t want to calm down. I want people who believe me. I want you to believe me.

Julie: I believe you, sweetheart. I believe that you’re having a very, very hard time right now. And it’s important that you understand and that you believe we’re all here for you. We all want you to be well…

Doug: I know but–

Julie: And to be– you’re gonna be fine, darling. I love you so much. You’re gonna be yourself again soon. You are, I know you are. Very soon.

Devil voice: You see, you can’t resist me. And together, we can take care of the old man.

Marlena: No, no, no. I will not hurt doug.

Devil voice: Why do you care so much for a weak old man? I can give you so much more. I can give you the power you know you loved. Well, no matter, I’ll take care of him with or without you.

Marlena: No, no, don’t hurt doug.

Devil voice: There may be another way to get him out of the picture. But only if you back me up. You have a choice to make, marlena. Is it him or me? Shingles?

Allie: I’m so sorry you’re going through all of this and that ben is so worried about passing along his genes.

Ciara: It never even occurred to me that he would.

Allie: What if…

Ciara: What if what?

Allie: I’m just thinking that if ben is so worried about passing his genes along, you guys can adopt.

Ciara: No, yeah, no, we can’t go down that route.

Allie: Why not?

Ciara: Well, think about it. We would have to find an adoption agency that doesn’t mind that the adoptive father used to be a serial killer.

Allie: No, you don’t have to go through an agency. Just hire a lawyer. Yeah, when I was pregnant with henry, I was going to do an open adoption. So I would know everything about the adoptive parents. I mean, you and ben could do the same thing. You could probably even find someone in town and then they would know that ben is not that person anymore. And you would know everything about the birth parents and ben wouldn’t have to worry about his genes at all.

Ciara: You know, that never occurred to me. I know that ben and i would love any baby. No matter if it was biologically ours or not. I just, allie, I hate that he thinks that he’s cursed somehow. It really just breaks my heart, you know?

Allie: I know.

Ben: So you’re telling me, that if ciara and I have a kid, he could potentially end up just like me?

Tripp: He or she could inherit your mental illness, yeah. But it’s also entirely possible they wouldn’T.

Ben: There’s something else you might not know. My sister, she wasn’t right either.

Tripp: There is still no way to predict, okay? Like, look I’m sorry, man. I wish I could tell you something to make you feel better.

Tripp: Hey.

Ciara: Hey, so what were you guys talking about?

Tripp: Actually, we were trying to figure out what was in this french dude’s special drink.

Julie: Oh, my love. I don’t know what is tormenting you so, but there’s no reason to be afraid. You are surrounded by love. I love you. Everyone loves you, including marlena.

Doug: No, not marlena.

Julie: Yes. Yes, marlena, sweetheart.

Doug: You don’t know.

Julie: She just wants you to be well. She–she wants to take care of you.

Doug: You’re my only hope.

Julie: Sweetheart, sweetheart. Please believe me. Marlena is on your side.

Doug: Someone believe me.

Julie: Marlena, marlena is our great friend.

[Intense music]

Woo! You are busy…

Chanel: So any other careers you considered?

Johnny: Well, I went through an astronaut phase and when I was a kid, I wanted to be spongebob.

Chanel: I wanted to be the little mermaid.

Johnny: No way.

Chanel: What? Are you saying I couldn’t be ariel?

Johnny: No, I’m saying your legs are way too good to be covered up in half a fish costume.

Chanel: You are–you’re pretty good at this wooing thing.

Johnny: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Chanel: [Yawn] Sorry.

Johnny: Now, don’t be. Guess that’s the downside of dating a baker. She’s got to be in bed early. But before you go. Yeah, can’t have a romance without flowers. I might have also wanted to be a magician. Good night, chanel.

Abigail: I guess I am serious. You know, I think I would really like to do something outside of my comfort zone. Something that’s just not so me. It would get me out of my head and get me to stop focusing on my problems so much, and I think maybe it would help me get over what happened with the play.

Chad: What play?

Abigail: I told you. Stop the pancake.

Chad: Oh, yeah, right, right, right, in second grade.

Abigail: Yeah. Oh, but it feels like it was yesterday. And I know it seems silly, but I was–I was the lead. I was the pancake, you know, and we were all there. It’s dress rehearsal and I kept forgetting my lines. I just, I could not remember. And mrs. Langer, she recast me, like right then, and right there, you know, in front of the whole class and I just–i just remember feeling like, “oh my gosh, I have to go home.” And my whole family is planning to come, I have to go and tell them that I’m not going to be in the play at all. Oh, my gosh. I’m crying. This is so silly. But I just remember the look on my mom’s face and she was just so disappointed in me and–

Chad: Abby, I’m s–sorry. I–I–I honestly, I had no idea that– that actually happened. Ms. Langer sounds like a–a real bitch.

Abigail: Yeah, yeah, she was and, um… I didn’t forget my lines. I blew her away.

Chad: [Laughing]

Abigail: I was brilliant, see.

Chad: Okay.

Abigail: I told you I can act.

Chad: Yeah, all right.

Allie: That was so fun. It was so nice to be out with friends, you know, not have to worry about henry eating his peas, or why he’s crying.

[Henry cries]

Tripp: No, no, no, no, no, you keep enjoying the night, all right? I’ll take care of him.

Allie: Thank you. Careful what you wish for, ciara.

Ciara: You know, I am really glad that we ran into tripp and allie at the bar. That was really fun.

Ben: Yeah, it was.

Ciara: So what did you and tripp really talk about? Babe, I’m the daughter of two cops. You really think I was gonna buy that secret ingredient story?

Ben: It was nothing.

Ciara: Look, I know that you and tripp haven’t always had the best history, but–

Ben: It wasn’t that. I was just asking him his medical opinion, whether or not he thought our baby could end up with my psycho genes.

Ciara: Okay, whoa, first of all, you don’t have psycho genes. And second of all, no one can predict what kind of baby we’ll have, not even a doctor. And I’m sure tripp told you that.

Ben: Well, he did say it was possible that mental illness could be genetic, but you’re right, he couldn’t exactly answer my question.

Ciara: But I think I know who can. Marlena.

Ben: Dr. Evans. I thought you just said, no doctor can tell us how our baby would turn out.

Ciara: Yeah, but maybe she can give you some advice, tell you who to talk to. She’s a therapist, ben, and you guys have a really great relationship. And when it comes to helping people, she always knows exactly what to do.

Julie: Would you like some water sweetheart? I’ll get you a drink. Be right back.

John: Hey, doc, have you seen kay…la? Where–where the hell has she gone?

Julie: Water coming up.

Brooke: Katie, what is this? You’re taking quinn’s side?

Katie: No, no. It’s just that she’s telling the truth for once in her life.

Brooke: That eric wants her to have an affair? There’s no way that’s possible.

Katie: Trust me. It is. Eric is encouraging quinn and carter to be together.

Ridge: No, you wouldn’t do that. You couldn’t do– you would never–

Eric: I would never what? Ask my wife to be with another man? But I did, ridge. Quinn’s back with carter because of me.

Hope: More coffee?

Finn: Sure. You know, I…I’m sorry. I didn’t intend to stay this long. If I’m keeping you from something, feel free to just kick me out anytime.

Hope: No. It’s, uh, it’s totally fine. I mean, you might as well just stick around until steffy and liam get back.

Finn: I’m uh… I’m glad kelly’s spending time with the two of them.

Hope: No, I am too. And I know she loves it. But it is kinda weird, though, right? I mean, my husband and your wife together at the park with their child.

Finn: Yeah. Yeah, it… it is. Tell me about it. Weird is good.

Hope: Very good.

[Chuckles]

Sheila: A picture? A picture, that’s all a mother gets to have. No communication, not even a phone call. I should be getting to know my son, right now. My grandson. But no. I’m being kept away from them. All because of steffy.

Hope: So, you settling in to all this?

Finn: I mean, I think so. It’s been quite a wild ride jumping into steffy’s world. Or into your world. The forresters, and logans, and spencers and all this crazy history and the backstory.

Hope: I mean, your head must be spinning.

Finn: Yeah. You don’t know half of it. I guess you kind of do. You’ve lived through all the craziness. You’ve survived.

Hope: Barely.

Brooke: I know you like to see the best in people, but in this case, you cannot take quinn at her word.

Katie: Did I say I was trusting quinn? No, no, I don’t trust quinn.

Brooke: Well, you’re believing all of her lies! I thought you were smarter than that.

Katie: Well, this time, she’s not lying. Eric wants quinn to spend time with carter.

Brooke: While he’s at home alone? How did quinn convince you of that?

Katie: She didn’T. Eric did. He’s the one that told me.

Eric: Quinn and carter have my blessing.

Quinn: I was trying to tell you that.

Ridge: I’m not– I don’t– I’m not talking to you.

Eric: Don’t do that, ridge.

Ridge: What possible reason could you have for any of this? What possible reason could you have–

Eric: Do you want me to have to say this out loud to you? To you?

Ridge: So you… you can’T. You’re not able to.

Eric: That’s right. I can’T. It’s not physically possible. Not anymore. If that part of life is over for me, doesn’t mean it has to be over for her. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Finn: I don’t know the full extent of it, but it sounds like it was quite the roller coaster you and steffy were on. A lot of back and forth to liam.

Hope: Well, there is A… a lot of history there and he has loved us both, and that’s the reality and I’ve come to accept that. But honestly, it helps knowing that steffy is happily married to you, so thank you finn, for getting us all off that merry-go-round.

Finn: My pleasure. Seriously, I’m so glad I met steffy, and falling for her, and having hayes, and getting marrieD. It just… kind of feels like the pieces are falling together for me.

Hope: Life has a way of working out.

Finn: Right? And then I finally met my birth motheR. Well, yeah. I mean, that hasn’t exactly worked out, but I just… you know what I mean. Things are happening for me.

Hope: Well, some things are better than others. I mean, of all people to have given birth to you… sheila carter.

Keith: Three more nights, or just two?

Sheila: Keith, are you trying to get rid of me? Every time I see you, you’re always asking me this.

Keith: No, no. It’s just, there’s a convention coming to town this week, and people who spend all day in boring seminars tend to let loose in the hotel bar after. Spending money. Whereas you… three more nights it is. Take it your date went well.

Sheila: Actually it– it wasn’t a date. I got to meet my grandson for the first time.

Keith: Congrats.

Sheila: Yeah. You’re always asking when I’m gonna be checking out. I’m not going anywhere. Not until I see my son and my beautiful grandson again.

Brooke: I felt bad for eric before. But now, knowing that he’s encouraging this…

Katie: He thinks it shows how much he cares for quinn.

Brooke: God, what is wrong with quinn? Can’t she see that this is a cry for help?

Katie: I… I don’t know, we knew she was selfish, but this is just– it’s beyond.

Brooke: Eric made it seem like he was okay with it?

Katie: He tried. But he’s hurting, brooke. I can tell that he’s hurting so bad.

Ridge: Huh. What has this woman done to you?

Eric: Ridge, are you listening to me?

Ridge: I’m listening.

Eric: Look, it’s not quinn, it’s me–

Ridge: I always listen to you, dad. I listen. Can you listen to me for one moment? This woman has played you from day one. And she’s getting so good at it now, that she’s convinced you that she should be in another man’s bed. So, listen to this, dad. What we need is change. Starting with this thing. That hideous portrait. Get it off the wall. Get her out of here. How do you do that? How do you go after a vulnerable man? How do– I know, I know. Of course, because you want everything, don’t you? You want the big house. You want the picture over the fire place, you want the forrester lifestyle. But you also want to be in carter’s bed. You know what? Game over. Take your stuff and get out, now!

Eric: That’s enough, ridge. That’s enough! Quinn’s not going anywhere. My nunormal?

Sheila: My son, my grandson, why not just go see them, you’re probably wondering. But my son’s wife won’t allow it. I’ve tried my best with her and she just wants to make me out to be some sort of a villain.

Keith: I’m sorry to hear it. I should probably get back to it. It doesn’t hurt to reach out.

Sheila: Excuse me?

Keith: To your son. Don’t involve his wife, deal with just him. Text him, tell him how you feel. Maybe he’s feeling the same.

Finn: I fantasized about meeting her my whole life. The woman who carried me, gave me life. My birth mother! And then, enemy number one to my bride’s family. Not… not something I was expecting.

Hope: Well, but, you understand though. Right? I mean, after hearing everything that she’s done.

Finn: Yeah, I get it. I have to keep her away from steffy and hayes. And that means keeping her away from myself too.

Hope: Has she tried reaching out? I mean, have you talked to her since? No judgment here.

[Phone chiming] Is something wrong?

Finn: It’s her.

Hope: Sheila?

Brooke: So, what do we do? How do we help eric?

Katie: I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and my gut tells me that it’s not ridge’s strategy. We can’t make it seem like we’re attacking eric.

Brooke: Ridge is just worried. Understandably.

Katie: Sure, absolutely. But he’s gotta understand that this is personal for eric, he’S… he’s embarrassed.

Brooke: Eric needs guidance. He needs people around him that care about him. Not quinn.

Ridge: Dad, she’s playing you.

Eric: Leave my wife alone, ridge.

Quinn: I think it’s clear who needs to leave.

Ridge: I’m not going anywhere. You think I’m gonna leave you with him? So you can keep toying with him? No!

Eric: Is that what you think is going on here? That I’m this pitiful man that needs to be protected by you?

Ridge: That’s not what I said.

Eric: That’s what you mean! You think I’m so weak standing here. So decrepit. Do you know how much strength it took for me to ask her to do this? I’m doing the best I can here. I’ve lived in this house a long time. With many other people. But quinn brings to me what I need now. I need her. I need her companionship. And she needs more than that. That she can get with carter.

Ridge: You need to stop this, dad.

Eric: I wish I could. I hope it never happens to you. I hope you never get to the point in your life when you fear… being alone. As much as I fear it now. I hope that never happens to you. Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Sheila: The question is will you respond? That’s my boy.

Finn: “Finn, it’s your mother. I just had to tell you I mean you no harm. Seeing you, holding hayes, I had a powerful sensation in my whole body that i need to be with you. I need to know you and my precious grandson. I’m just a mother and a grandmother who wants to be a part of her son and grandson’s lives. Never doubt how much I love you. Mom.”

Hope: Wow.

Finn: Yeah.

Hope: How, um, how do you feel?

Finn: That my priority is with steffy and hayes. It has to be. That’s the way it has to be, because, you know, there’s no room in my life for sheila. Even if she has changed, which I hope she has. There’s just, you know, there’s too much history to overcome.

Hope: Are you trying to convince me, or to convince yourself?

Finn: I mean, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I wanted to get to know her. Hear stories. Have an understanding of why she let me go. But I have so much more that I want to ask. This woman’s a part of me. And all I know is the worst part. The crimes. I mean, that can’t be all there is to my mother. I should say my birth mother. Because I have a mother and no matter what sheila is in my life, she is in it or she’s not, she will never replace my mom.

Hope: And yet…

Finn: I want more than this. More than unanswered questions. I want to know sheila. Steffy, she won’t have it. And I get that, I understand that. But the feelings… they’re there.

Hope: It will work out, finn. It will all work out.

Brooke: I’m just glad eric has a neighbour he can lean on.

Katie: Of course. I’ll always be there for him.

Brooke: Good. Because he needs you, katie. He does.

Ridge: What happened to you? What’S… you’ve lost your dignity.

Quinn: How dare you? My husband has more dignity than you ever will.

Eric: Quinn, it’s okay.

Quinn: No, he can’t just stand here and berate you like that.

Ridge: He’s being conned by– I’m not taking anything away, you’re really good at it. But he… he is so concerned with pleasing you, that he doesn’t even see the pain you’re causing him.

Eric: I don’t see the pain? Do you know how much this hurts? This breaks my heart. Look, carter’s a good man.

Ridge: Carter’s not– okay–

Eric: This is my decision!

Ridge: I don’t accept your decision! This is wrong. You know it’s wrong. And you know it’s wrong. But you know what you want, so you’re gonna keep going. You need to leave.

Eric: What, like you left? Like you left and… thorne. And kristen, and felicia, and rick, and bridget. Bridget… they all left, ridge. Brooke left. Donna left. Stephanie’s gone. Heh. Stephanie. I don’t want to be alone in this house. You hear that? Listen. That’s what it’s like to live here. There’s no footsteps. There’s no running up and down the stairs. There’s no laughter. There’s no talk. There’s no hearing me play the piano. And there’s no one to listen when I have something I want to say. When I told quinn to get out, she left and I… I remembered what it’s like to be alone in here. So, I asked her to come back. And she did. We love each other. She fills my heart, she drives away that dreaded emptiness that I felt in my heart, in my home. This is what I want. This is my house. This is my life. I will not be alone.

Nick: I think I should talk to ashland in private.

Victoria: Well, I understand that, but I’m not going anywhere.

Ashland: Victoria is here because I want her to be.

Victoria: So, what is it that is so important that you felt you needed to share it with us? Was it some ancient dirt that you uncovered when you were in new jersey? That’s right. I know you went on a little trip to new jersey, thanks to phyllis. She was her usual cagey self, and she couldn’t explain why you were visiting the town where ashland got his start. I told my fiancé all about it.

Nick: You sure you want victoria here for this?

Victoria: Here for what, nicholas?

Nick: Ashland, why don’t we talk about a 40-year-old car crash that killed a guy named bobby defranco?

Abby: Shh, shh. Okay, dominic. Why don’t you consider going to sleep before mommy has to go to the restaurant? Sleep, baby. Sleep. Shh. The nanny is gonna watch you while I’m gone, but mommy is gonna be back so soon before you wake up. And I am gonna feed you and I’m gonna take care of you because that’s what mommies do. You can always count on me.

Mariah: Mmm. Something smells good.

Tessa: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: Lemony.

Tessa: Chicken piccata.

Mariah: [ Gasps ] With extra piccata?

Tessa: Well, you know, that’s not a thing. You always tell me to order it like that, and the wait staff always looks at me like I’m a crazy person.

Mariah: You’re probably just saying it wrong. Thank you for getting me dinner. And I don’t even have to move, so, really, it’s just a win-win for me.

Tessa: Well, I know that you’re tired and you need your rest, but you need to eat, too.

Mariah: You take such good care of me.

[ Knock on door ] Uh, did you order a special dessert that needed to be sent up separately?

Tessa: Uh, no.

Sharon: Hi!

Tessa: Hi.

Sharon: Um… did I come at a bad time?

Amanda: Did you make reservations?

Devon: It’s the middle of the week. I figured we should be alright.

Moses: Hey. Sorry. Coming through. Sorry.

Devon: Hello.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Hey.

Faith: Hey.

Amanda: Hi. Is everything okay?

Faith: I’m not sure, but i think our big surprise date is off to a shaky start.

Ashland: [ Exhales heavily ]

Victoria: Are you okay?

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Nick: Clearly that name means something to you.

Ashland: Bobby defranco. That’s a name I never wanted to hear again. Especially from anyone in victoria’s family.

Nick: Then I am on the right track.

Victoria: I would like some answers here. Who is this dead man, bobby defranco?

Ashland: That dead man is me. And tonight’s winning numbers are 18,

Victoria: You’re bobby defranco?

Ashland: I was…before i became ashland locke.

Victoria: Well, we all know that he changed his name. We all know that. It’s not a big deal.

Nick: This crash doesn’t concern you?

Victoria: So what? So he tried to cover his tracks by pretending that his original identity died in the car crash. It’s not so terrible, nick.

Nick: Nothing fake about it. And no one’s pretending. A young man did die.

Victoria: Is that true?

Ashland: Yes. It was foolish for me to think that I could run forever from what happened.

Victoria: Run from what?

Ashland: Uh…I was born robert defranco. Everything that I have told you about my past is true. I ran away from home. I had an abusive father and — and an enabling mother. But there was more to it. There was someone who… gave me the courage to — to change that situation I was in, a friend of mine that my parents didn’t even know. And his name was ashland locke.

Victoria: You named yourself after him?

Ashland: Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] We were kindred spirits. I mean, so much so that one day we did what a lot of dumb 16-year-olds do. We got matching tattoos.

Victoria: The one on your calf?

Ashland: Yeah. And my dad saw it. And he beat me up real good. So ashland saw me that day, all banged up, and he said, “we got to get out of here.” So we took off. And we bummed around the beach towns of new jersey and worked odd jobs up and down the jersey coast, did whatever we could. And one day we found ourselves in an arcade in a boardwalk pavilion in a beautiful little town called keansburg. I hear this commotion. All of a sudden, I understand that my father’s looking out for me. He’s trying to find where I am. He’s pissed off. So, ashland sees what’s happening, and he throws me under a pinball machine. And he runs interference, and he tells them I’m in philadelphia with a girl. I owed him so big. And we bonded so big after that. We were inseparable. He had no family. He was a loner, like me. And we became family for each other. And I had big plans. We were gonna strike it rich.

Nick: So, this was about money for you?

Ashland: I-is that what you got from what I just said? We were kids. We didn’t think about anything like that. We didn’t know what we were gonna do. But ashland had this idea that he wanted to be involved in broadcasting or communications, and somehow he snagged this interview with this lady named camilla rhodes to try and get a job as an intern at one of her stations.

Victoria: The widow who mentored you.

Ashland: Yes. But my friend couldn’t make that interview because the night before he was supposed to meet with her [Chuckles] The two of us were out in his beat-up old camaro — and he liked to drive fast, you know? It scared the crap out of me all the time. And we were screaming down this road, and I don’t know how it happened, but he lost control of the car and we wrapped it around a tree. And I was ejected out of the car and I must have been knocked unconscious. And I came to the vehicle and he was pinned against the steering wheel and I tried to get him out. I couldn’t feel a pulse or anything. Car’s starting to catch fire, and I’m screaming for somebody to come and help us. I don’t know what to do. I’m in shock. I tried to pull him out. He won’t budge! And all of sudden, I pull him so hard, his wallet flies out. And at this time, the flames are growing and the whole car is starting to be engulfed in flames. And I’m confused and I pick up his wallet and I throw mine down and — and I take off as far away from the car right before it was about to explode like a — like a fireball. And so the explosion attracted some passerby, and — and I was about to wave them down and get help, but I realized if I talked to this person and I told them, explained what was going on, they’d probably notify the police. Sure enough, two police cars arrived, and as soon as they did, I figured they’re gonna take me back to my father. And I was not gonna let that happen. So I took off into the woods, and right at that moment I made the decision to become ashland locke. And I let my life as bobby defranco… burn up in flames. What if younger looking skin could start at midnight?

Sharon: I thought you could use a home-cooked meal.

Tessa: I — I, uh, have some errands to run.

Mariah: At this hour?

Tessa: Yeah. There’s just some things i forgot to do, and plus it’ll give you some time to talk.

Sharon: Thank you, tessa.

Tessa: I’ll be right back.

Mariah: Okay. Great.

Sharon: I know what you’re thinking — “I asked for some time and space away from everyone.”

Mariah: You nailed it.

Sharon: And I gave that to you.

Mariah: Uh, yeah, you almost lasted, mm, 24 hours?

Sharon: Well, I think i lasted more than a day. Anyway, I lasted longer than i thought I would. You can give me some credit for that.

Mariah: [ Scoffs ]

Sharon: Anyway, it’s good to see you making jokes again.

Mariah: Who says I’m making jokes?

Sharon: Well, you seem better. That’s a relief. But how about some genuine answers?

Mariah: Mnh, uh-oh.

Sharon: How are you really feeling?

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Faith: Moses picked me up on time, but he said he forgot something, so we raced here.

Devon: Ah. Well, I’m sure he’ll find whatever it is, and you guys will be on your way.

Amanda: You still don’t know where you’re going?

Faith: No.

Devon: There he is.

Moses: Hey. Sorry for bursting in, but i needed this. That would have been embarrassing, having to finish up our big date by washing the dishes.

Faith: Ah. So part of our date is dinner. A restaurant?

Amanda: You still haven’t told faith where she’s going?

Moses: It’s all a mystery. That’s part of the fun.

Devon: Exactly.

Amanda: Oh, so you know a little something about this date, huh?

Moses: Yeah, but I swore devon to secrecy, so he’s not gonna blow it, right?

Devon: Oh, like you almost just did by forgetting your wallet? Like that?

Amanda: You are very trusting. I mean, you could be expecting a glamorous night on the town and end up at a paintball range.

Faith: Paintball?

Moses: No. Next time. But, uh, we’re gonna get out of here before devon ruins the surprise.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Faith: Bye. Thank you.

Devon: See you guys.

Amanda: Have fun.

[ Door closes ]

Victoria: So you just ran off as the car burned? Where did you go?

Ashland: To the water. I broke into this beach house, an old, abandoned beach hut. I stayed there for a while. I stole newspapers to keep up on the news, to find out if there were any developments in the story.

Nick: So, your friend’s body was badly burned, and your I.D. Ends up in the wallet that’s next to the accident.

Ashland: Well, the police assumed that the person driving the car was bobby defranco. My father was called in to identify the corpse, and he made a positive I.D. Based on the tattoo on my calf. He was able to verify that it was me. Dna testing was very limited in those days, so there was no reason to investigate further.

Nick: So, case closed.

Ashland: It was my chance for a new start, a clean slate… and to permanently escape from the hell of my father. So I jumped in, hook, line, and sinker, to the identity of ashland locke. I went to the interview with camilla rhodes. She never met ash. They only talked on the phone, so she had no reason to believe that I wasn’t who I said I was. I got the job, and the rest is history.

Nick: Well, I certainly have some questions about this split-second decision that seems awfully calculated. I mean, you end up with his wallet, and yours is left behind at this car that’s on fire.

Ashland: Yeah. A car that was on fire. I was engulfed in smoke. There were flames everywhere. The only friend that I had in the world was dead, and I was fraid of being found out ’cause I knew my father would have beat me for days. So my survival instincts went into overdrive.

Nick: I mean, when the other car pulled up, why didn’t you get the driver to help you pull your buddy out?

Ashland: ‘Cause I told you — I thought he was dead! And there was gonna be no miracle rescue! I-I’ve thought about this day in and day out my whole life! I-I don’t care if you’re skeptical or if you don’t believe me. I just hope to god that you never find yourself in a similar situation. Ashland locke saved my life when my father was coming after me. And I wasn’t able to save his. Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection,

Abby: Hey!

Tessa: Hi.

Abby: How’s mariah?

Tessa: Uh, I’m — I’m not sure, but I know she won’t be hungry.

Abby: What do you mean?

Tessa: Oh, um, sharon brought over so much food just right after we ordered room service. But she’s there now, hopefully offering mariah some comfort and guidance.

Abby: I have to tell you — I miss having you two at the house.

Tessa: Oh, my gosh, that’s so sweet of you to say.

Abby: Yeah, we have to get together, spend some quality time with dominic.

Tessa: Well, um, mariah’s — you know, she’s finally starting to get back to her old self. She’s laughing. She’s making jokes. So hopefully she’ll be up to that soon.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Mariah: I am feeling good. Much better, anyway. Definitely stronger after getting out of the house.

Sharon: I know there’s more going on. I’ve heard some things, although it’s all secondhand. What prompted you to leave the chancellor estate?

Mariah: “Secondhand”? What am I, the talk of the town?

Sharon: No. It’s not gossip. It’s people who care about you, you know, sharing thoughts.

Mariah: How is that any different from gossip?

Sharon: Okay, would you stop avoiding answer the question? Why’d you leave abby’s place?

Mariah: [ Sighs ] It was just a lot harder than i thought it was gonna be… being around dominic. After carrying that baby and protecting him all throughout the ordeal of being kidnapped, i just… I know that he’s not mine, alright, technically and biologically speaking. But…there’s still a bond. And it’s strong. It’s hardcore strong, which of course you warned me about.

Sharon: Well, I’m not here to say, “I told you so.” It’s a tough situation.

Mariah: I just had to get out of that house. It was rough seeing bowie and knowing that he’s — he’s not my child to raise.

Sharon: Well, what can I do to help?

Mariah: I will be okay eventually.

Sharon: I know you will. But what can we do to speed that up? Would getting away from this place maybe help? I knew that finding a new apartment was gonna be a little bit tricky, but wouldn’t you rather in the meantime stay someplace more homey?

Mariah: What do you have in mind?

Sharon: Why don’t you move in with me and faith and rey for a little while?

Mariah: Thank you. That’s very sweet, but I can’T.

Sharon: I think it would be really good for you.

Mariah: Space. Remember? Space.

Sharon: I understand. Okay. But I do want to know what comes- next.

Ashland: So, how much of that story did you know before tonight?

Nick: I didn’t have all the pieces, but I was able to put most of it together. I tracked down this reporter in toms river who was covering the crash.- He said he always thought there was more to the story. But there wasn’t a proper investigation done because of the witness.

Ashland: What witness?

Nick: The driver of that car who pulled up. He said when he got there, he saw some kid running into the woods, but the police didn’t think he’d be reliable because obviously he had been drinking.

Ashland: That was probably a lucky break for me.

Nick: Yeah, you’ve had a lot of those, huh?

Ashland: You think? It was wrong of me… not to tell you this part of the story. I should have told you everything right from the start. You deserve that. I was so ashamed of how I acted all those years ago. But I’m more ashamed that i didn’t tell you the whole truth. Now you know. And I hope you can accept it.

Victoria: How could you do this? Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Mariah: What tessa and I want to do first is find a new home, like, as soon as we can.

Sharon: It’s a good first step. You have to have a safe and healthy home. But what about your more immediate issue?

Mariah: Which is what?

Sharon: Getting you through this postpartum separation anxiety. I’d be happy to recommend some therapists if you think you’d benefit from talking to a professional. I mean, getting some space — that can help, but I don’t want you to isolate yourself or rush into anything big.

Mariah: Rush into anything big? What exactly have you and tessa been talking about?

Sharon: Well, you know, I went to her. And I drilled her really hard, and then I poured on all of this, like, motherly guilt until she told me the truth.

Mariah: Told you what?

Sharon: That you want to have a baby of your own.

Mariah: Tessa discussed that with you?

Sharon: Do you really think you’re ready for that?

Mariah: Yes. 100%. But clearly tessa is not.

Sharon: Well, I can see the benefit in waiting.

Mariah: So, you don’t think we should have a baby?

Sharon: No, I’m not saying that. I’m saying just, you know, wait six months or a year. Take the space that you’ve been asking for and really think this through.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Sharon: I mean, having a baby would be wonderful. You’re both gonna be wonderful mothers. But I don’t think it should be a knee-jerk reaction to anything.

Mariah: It’s not a knee-jerk reaction. Having a baby with the woman i love is the next step to me moving on with my life.

Abby: Please let mariah know that you have an open invitation to come by the house any time. But no pressure. Just happy thoughts.

Tessa: I’ll do that.

Abby: I really do miss you guys so much.

[ Cellphone pings ]

Tessa: Hmm.

Abby: Is everything okay?

Tessa: Uh…well, mariah’s texts are usually a little bit more lighthearted than this. This doesn’t seem good.

Abby: Well, I hope there’s not a problem.

Tessa: Well, I, uh — i better go find out. Um, I’ll talk to you later?

Abby: Yeah.

Tessa: Okay

Devon: Hey, tessa.

Tessa: Hi.

Devon: Hey. How you doing? How’s mariah?

Tessa: Um, she’s, uh — she’s working through some things. Um, I — I actually do have to go.

Devon: Okay.

Tessa: Sorry.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Hi!

Devon: Hey, you.

Amanda: Hi.

Abby: How are you?

Amanda: Good.

Abby: Congratulations on moving in together.

Amanda: Thank you. Oh, well, it looks like faith and moses aren’t here, so we can cross society off the list. Their location is still a fun mystery.

Devon: That’s right.

Abby: What are you talking about?

Devon: Uh, moses and faith went on a special date, and they didn’t tell us where it’s at.

Abby: Oh, my gosh. Stop it. Young love. It’s so sweet. Oh, my gosh. I can’t believe my niece is dating.

Devon: I know. Tell me about it. I’m gonna remind you of this conversation when dominic starts dating.

Abby: Stop it right there. He’s so tiny, I can’t even think about that right now.

Devon: I know.

Amanda: Oh, no.

Devon: What’s wrong?

Amanda: Um, it’s imani. She’s taking naya to the emergency. Her heart rate’s spiking.

Devon: We should go then.

Amanda: No. Thank you for wanting to help, but I think I should just go on my own. She’s not gonna want too many people around, okay?

Devon: Okay. That’s fine.

Amanda: Okay.

Devon: Keep me up to date.

Abby: Bye.

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: Um…I guess it’s just gonna be dinner for one now.

Nick: So, after hearing about this crash from your fiancé, I’m the one you’re mad at? Victoria!

Ashland: Well, I guess you got what you wanted.

Nick: I wanted the truth. That was something you weren’t willing to give us.

Ashland: Ah, yes. The almighty truth. Solves everything, doesn’t it? Sure gave victoria peace of mind.

Nick: You know what? The bottom line is you built your career, your success, your life on the back of this tragedy.

Ashland: That may be true. But now you know that I didn’t get everything handed to me.

Nick: You watched your best friend die in front of you, and your first instinct is to grab his wallet and run off into the woods? That says all I need to know about you.

Ashland: I had to get my hands dirty and make some hard choices in a very tragic situation. And that’s probably something that you will never understand.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Ashland: I-I’m sorry. I — I truly am. I should have been completely honest with you about how i became ashland locke when you first asked me about my past.

Victoria: Yeah, y-you swore to me that there weren’t gonna be any more secrets.

Ashland: I did.

Victoria: How am I supposed to believe you anymore, ashland?

Ashland: Well, I wouldn’t blame you if you said you couldn’t trust me ever again. But I’d be devastated.

Victoria: Why didn’t you tell me?

Ashland: Shame. It was too painful to ever talk about. I was so ashamed that I never told another living soul that story until today. For 40 years, I’ve held onto that. That image, the memory of ash… and that horrible night has haunted me ever since. But I… I’d like to think that I’ve built my life with the ethos of no regrets. But there isn’t a day that goes by…where I don’t wonder the same thing that nick did. What if I stayed? What if, by some miracle, I was able to get some help and — and pull ashland from the wreckage? How would that have made my life different?

Victoria: Have you come to any conclusions?

Ashland: No, I have not. See, I’ve tried to convince myself that that’s what ashland would have wanted. He wanted to give up his identity to rescue me. I keep trying to tell myself that I would have done the same thing if the situation were reversed. But — but that’s something we’ll never know, will we? But I do know that if my life had taken a different direction, it never would have led me to you, and there is nothing false or secretive about what I feel right now… ’cause I have never loved anyone else the way I love you. But if this is what breaks us up, I-I completely understand. I just hope and pray with every fiber of my being that it won’T.

Victoria: This is just… it’s a lot to process. I’m really just gonna need some time, I think.

Ashland: I-I understand. Yeah. I’ll give you all the time you need.

Faith: Oh, that was so much fun. I don’t know how you pulled that off.

Moses: Oh, it was no big deal. Anyone can have dinner at the top of the tower. You just need a reservation.

Faith: But a private room overlooking the whole city? I didn’t even know they had that.

Moses: [ Laughs ] Yeah, I had to call in a favor.

Faith: Favor from who?

Moses: Your grandfather.

Faith: Grandpa got you that special room?

Moses: Yeah. I beat him in a game of chess, so he owed me.

[ Chuckles ] But he was glad to help out.

Faith: I’m glad he did. That filet mignon was delicious.

Moses: Though being alone up there together like that was like being in a movie.

Faith: Especially when you had devon’s new singer audrina serenade us. That was magical.

Moses: Yeah. Yeah. I owe him big time for that.

Faith: I’ll never forget it.

Moses: Good. I’m glad you liked our date.

Faith: Liked? No. I loved it. It was the most perfect night ever.

Nick: Vick.

[ Picture thuds ]

Victoria: I don’t want to talk to you. Definitely don’t want to see you.

Nick: Yeah. I get it.

Victoria: No. You don’T. You betrayed my trust, nicholas. I told you how much I love ashland and how committed I am to this marriage. I asked you — no. I-I begged you to leave this alone and to — to not be like billy and start digging around in his past. I-I guess — I guess you couldn’t help yourself.

Nick: You know, you also said something else in that conversation. You told me you had serious concerns about the man you were gonna marry.

Victoria: Well, that didn’t give you an invitation to investigate him. I made that very clear to you.

Nick: I’m sorry if you’re hurt by this, but I don’t regret what I did, alright? It forced ashland to come clean about who he was all those years ago. Who knows how many other shady things he did during that time?

Victoria: Ashland has been in the public eye for a long time. He is a powerful force in business and media. I am sure that he has done some ruthless things, but nothing illegal.

Nick: I’m just saying, if he left his best friend to die —

Victoria: Did you listen? His friend was probably already dead. The car was about to blow up. He had to make one of the hardest decisions he ever made in his whole life. And he wasn’t even an adult! Do you remember what noah and summer were like at that age? How would they have handled that situation? Better yet, how would have a young nick newman dealt with that? How would you like the mistakes from your past, from your youth, to be throw back in your face?

Nick: I would never do anything like that.

Victoria: No, because you’ve never been in that position before, have you? Your father was tough, but he wasn’t physically abusive. Ashland’s father was a monster, hunting him down. You — you were born with privileges and advantages. You could never, ever relate to what ashland went through, so don’t come in here telling me that he is a terrible person until you understand the position that he was in. Can you blame him for what he did? How does something that happened 40 years ago mean that he is not worthy of love and forgiveness and happiness? Oh, I had never seen a picture of her

Abby: How’s amanda?

Devon: Hey. She’s, uh, just anxious about naya. I can hear it in her voice. She’s not usually like that.

Abby: Yeah. She’s typically the definition of unflappable. I could tell she was really bothered. She seemed shaken up.

Devon: Well, she worries about her mom because it’s a new relationship, you know?

Abby: Well, that’s understandable. She’s protective.

Devon: Yeah. Speaking of protective, I ran into tessa on the way in here, and she seemed a little frazzled about something. Did you talk to her or…

Abby: Yeah. She’s worried about mariah.

Devon: I think we all are.

Abby: Yeah. I mean, she was trying to be optimistic, but it almost seemed like wishful thinking. And then she got a text from mariah. She said it wasn’t good.

Devon: Well, you know, i would do anything to help mariah out in all this, but I just think that she needs time. And there’s only so much we can do.

[ Lock whirs, disengages ]

[ Door opens ]

Tessa: Hey. How was your visit with sharon?

Mariah: What have you been talking to my mom about?

Tessa: What do you mean?

Mariah: You told my mom that I wanted to have a baby with you without telling me. How could you do that?

Tessa: Okay, please calm down.

Mariah: No! You went behind my back again! First abby, now my mom. Why would you do that to me?!

Nick: I heard what you said about ashland being in a tough spot that night and having to make a difficult decision.

Victoria: Yes, that’s it.

Nick: Well, I guess you and i have different opinions about what’s right and wrong.

Victoria: Oh, god. Don’t get self-righteous with me. You betrayed me.

Nick: That’s not what I was doing.

Victoria: The minute that you got on that plane to new jersey, when I asked you not to look into ashland’s past, you betrayed me.

Nick: Vick, come on.

Victoria: No! Stop it! Just knock it off. Just stop. Shouldn’t you, um — shouldn’t you be headed to summer’s wedding? Just go. And don’t bother flying on to tuscany.

Nick: Why are you saying that? ‘Cause I’m no longer invited?

Victoria: Would you just go?

Nick: [ Sighs ] You know what? I know you’ll never say it, but this news concerns you more than you’ll ever admit.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

We missed you two at breakfast. Re oh, she knew. She knew the whole time sonny was alive. We got married, and she knew. Hey, hey. You can’t “burn her life down.” Oh, you watch me! Why? And let nina be the victim after all the hell she’s put everybody through? Nina deserves to pay, jason! You sh– you’re right. So stand back and let her pay the consequences. Let people hate her the way she deserves. Ugh! Isn’t it more satisfying that she loses everything and has only herself to blame? Fine. I’ll back off. What? Why — why are you looking at me? I just — I want — I want you to mean what you’re saying right now. I get it, okay?! I get it. If I go after ni na, she’s gonnamake me out to be the bad guy, and I can’t go down that road again, all right? I just — she’s so lucky that you got here. Joss told me.

[ Sighs ] So I had your phone tracked. Oh, josslyn. She must be so worried and confused. Her exact words were that she thought she was meddling, but she thought things might escalate. Yeah. [ Scoffs ] Well, she was right. Can you believe that nina knew sonny was alive?

[ Sighs ] Sonny told me. He was — he was gonna tell you. I can’t believe what’s happening. I gotta go. I gotta go. Okay, hol– wher– wherever you’re going — wherever you’re going — I’m not gonna go anywhere near nina. What the hell happened? Or is it about to happen?

[ Sighs ] Come on. Come on over here. You owe me a rematch. I don’t know what the point is. You’re gonna lose. Ouch. Okay, well, bet you can’t beat me at backgammon. I have an idea — why don’t you tell me what’s going on with hayden’s investigation? You said we were a good team. Okay — okay, this may come as a surprise to you, alexis, but we don’t always have to be on a mission, right? Sometimes, I just — I just come here for the company. Maybe the company doesn’t find it very exciting to keep beating you at checkers, so let me be your sounding board. Maybe I can help you find out who really tried to kill hayden. That you’re coming home soon makes me happy. So, how are you and martin getting along? Any sibling rivalry over the tv remote? Hah! Well, that’s good. Glad he knows his place. Yes, spencer has settled back into wyndemere. Hopefully, he and nikolas have smoothed things over. No, I’m afraid not. Ava is still leaving port charles. I haven’t left yet. I still have some unfinished business. What are you talking about, spencer? What could you have possibly done to make you feel like you don’t deserve a relationship with your own father?

[ Sighs ] Look, I have known you a long time. I’ve seen you at your best, I’ve seen you at your worst, and a lot of those times, the worst outweighed the best. But I hope you know I’ll always be there for you, no matter what you’ve done. That’s easy for you to say. I’ve been at boarding school in europe while you and joss hung out pc high. I have changed. We all have. Oh, please. If you want to make a list and compare the terrible things that we’ve done, trust me — I’m in no position to judge.

[ Laughs ] Yeah, you might not. But trina? She’s a whole other story. Yeah, I mean, but who says that she has to know? Can you really make that promise? And what about josslyn? The three of you are pretty tight. They only have to know what you want them to know. Okay. Okay. I gotta admit, it’s been killing me.

[ Doorbell rings ] Expecting anyone? Whoever it is, I’ll send them packing. Surprise! How can I help you? Mr. Corinthos, I’m esme prince, spencer cassadine’s girlfriend. I thought you’d like to know that spencer is back in port charles. Spencer’s here? When did he arrive? What’s he been up to? He came earlier this summer to surprise his dad. And it’s been one eventful reunion. Is spencer in trouble? Spence isn’t, but, uh… his father might be.

ght you’d be gladto see me, given our history. Hey, cam. Didn’t think you’d be here. Why didn’t security tell me you were arriving on the launch? He remembered I had vip status from your party. Knew I’d always be welcome. Am I interrupting? Cam and i were just catching up. Of course I’m always happy to see you, trina, but why didn’t you call first? Good question. I need to show ava these documents before she takes off for bora bora with your dad. Ava’s not here.

[ Clears throat ] Neither is my father. Sounds like you should be looking for them at the airport. Uh, yes, you heard right. Ava just arrived, and it looks like she’d like to have a talk. I will. You, too. Love you. Uh, well, laura wishes you safe travels and wants me to tell you that this is not goodbye, that she expects you to return to port charles once the police find your stalker. Well, that sounds like an excellent plan to me. And when does laura return from her mayor business in D.C.? Soon. You sure you don’t want to wait and say goodbye in person? I-I can’T. I have a flight booked for london. I’ve sublet a flat. The wheels are definitely in motion, so… I’m sure she’ll understand. Yeah. I just — I stopped by to let you know that the divorce papers are filed… and I’ve said goodbye to nikolas. And avery? Avery is safe with carly and s-sonny. I’m sure you’ve heard about his return. Have you? I did. I’m very happy for his family. Yeah. Avery is over the moon to have her daddy back. Makes leaving her just… the littlest bit easier. You know, I do have some free time right now, if you’d like to talk about everything that’s going on. Do you mean like a session or — no, I don’T. I don’t need — I’m not here for counseling, kevin. I — really, I came to see you because I need for you to make me a promise. There you go. Thank you. Does sam know you want to be a private investigator? I don’t want to be a private investigator. I don’t have to be a private investigator. I was a lawyer, and I’m cassadine. So I have a very unique perspective on the criminal mind. And I’ve worked with criminals for years, not to mention locked up with them. I think I have a similar perspective. I know what this is about. You’re afraid that I’m gonna get all this information, I’m gonna share it with T.J. And molly, and then they’re gonna go off on another crusade. That’s a very real consideration. You know, speaking of molly and T.J., They’re never home. Now, I thought maybe we’d share dinner once in a while, you know, watch a movie on tv. I microwave a mean bag of popcorn. Popcorn, huh? Nice deflection. So what is it that you’re trying so hard not to tell me? ‘Cause this is me, you know, and you know that I’m not gonna let it go. Jordan’s been injured. Wow. Uh, I’m sorry. What happened? She was trying to help me. Things went sideways. How? Jordan and I were looking into naomi dreyfus’ murder. Uh, we found a passenger, roger barstow, who sat next to her on the plane back to port charles. Was that helpful? Jordan went to interview him at his home, and just as she arrived, who should show up? Curtis and portia. What were they doing there? Following their own lead. Uh, well, curtis is helping sam look into whether, you know, drew is still alive and, if he is, what happened to him. So your investigation and their investigation led to the same house. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. So, nina knew sonny was alive and just kept right on visiting wiley here at michael’s house and didn’t say a word.

[ Sighs ] No. That’s, uh, why carly slammed out. Now you know.

[ Scoffs ] I can only imagine how michael and willow will feel. I mean, they gave nina a lot of time with her grandson, which she clearly didn’t deserve. She’s disrupted a lot of lives, yours included. What happens to you now that sonny’s back? What the hell were you thinking? Well, I guess you spoke to nina. You knew sonny was alive, and you conspired with nina to keep it a secret from me?! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! No, I didn’t conspire! I wasn’t part of nina’s lies. You knew sonny was in nixon falls! On a hunch. I didn’t know for sure. Then why didn’t you tell me about the hunch, jax? I was getting married! I — look, I know, but you and I had been fighting so much lately. If I would have come to you and said i thought sonny was alive, you would have accused me of trying to stop you from marrying jason, right? Because you’ve been trying to control how I live my life! In what universe does bringing sonny home further my agenda? Please tell me. I mean, do you honestly think that I want you with sonny

or jason? Sonny: What’s going on with nikolas? It involves mr. Cassadine and his wife, ava jerome. Yeah, yeah, I know. They’re — they’re divorced.

[ Chuckles ] Well, of course you would. You and ms. Jerome co-parent your daughter avery, right? What about it? I’m sure you think it’s none of my business, but spence adores that little girl, and the last thing I want is for spence to get hurt. Why would he? I overheard mr. Cassadine talking on the phone, and it sounded like he and ava plan to leave port charles today and take your daughter avery with them.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] I wish I could hear them.

I love sonny. I would have never married jason if I knew sonny was alive, and you know that. No, I just — I didn’t have time to tell you. You didn’t have time to tell me?! Look, everything I did in nixon falls was to bring sonny home to you and the family. How did you even know sonny was in nixon falls?

[ Sighs ] This is gonna sound crazy, but do you remember when josslyn and trina came looking for me in nixon falls? Well, trina happened to bring home a homemade jar of marinara sauce that she picked up at a bar there. And josslyn used that sauce to make me dinner a couple of nights ago, and she thought that it tasted exactly the way sonny used to make it. You thought sonny was in a bar in nixon falls making sauce? No, no. I — remember the first time I was there, I got shot? And I was on the gurney. They were about to put me in the ambulance, and I thought I saw sonny. Why didn’t you tell me and josslyn? Because nina convinced me that I was hallucinating. Because of nina. Nina has lied to you for months! Why aren’t you more angry? Because of her exposure to the gas while trapped in barstow’s basement, jordan’s remaining kidney was compromised. She needs inpatient treatment at a clinic in albany that specializes in nephrology. Oh, wow. Poor jordan. Uh, well, it’s good that portia’s making a full recovery. Okay, I’ve got — I’ve got questions. So, what’s the connection between dreyfus and barstow? And — and who is the man that curtis chased into the woods, and do you think he could have killed barstow? And how does drew’s plane crash relate to all of this? Unfortunately, I-I can’t answer any of those questions, although we do have a tenuous connection between roger barstow and drew cain’s plane crash. Really? What’s that? The crichton-clark clinic. Kevin: Well, I’m at your service. What kind of promise would you like me to make? Well, you know how deep nikolas’ emotions run, right? He’s either in a very, very good place or a very, very bad place. Right now, he’s in a bad place because he’s losing his wife. Well, I’m — I’m hoping that my absence will allow him to work on his relationship with spencer, you know, because I won’t be around for him to worry about anymore. Sometimes the absence of a loved one makes you just miss them more. You’re thinking about laura. Honestly, I’m a bit worried about that with nikolas. Can you look out for him? Just make sure that he doesn’t give in to his… darker impulses?

[ Camera shutter clicks ] Are you telling me you heard nikolas say he’s gonna — he’s — he’s taking off with avery? He was booking a first-class flight to bora bora for himself, ms. Jerome, and your daughter. I’m sure mr. Cassadine thinks he’s protecting avery from the stalker, but… I thought you should know. You were right in coming to me with this, ms. Prince. Oh, please, call me esme. Esme. Thanks for filling me in. Your dad told you that he and ava kissed and made up? Cameron did. Well, after you told me that you booked first-class reservations for mr. Cassadine and ava, I had assumed that they already told spencer. Uh, well, ava already told me, and she was so excited.

[ Cellphone ringing ] I should get this. It’s not your dad, is it? I think that he’s too busy flirting with ava to remember that he even has a son. Privacy, please.

[ Cellphone continues ringing ] Trina: What are you doing here? You were supposed to feed spencer the lie about bora bora, then leave, thereby giving him the freedom to leave wyndemere and us the freedom to tail him. The way this is going, we might never find out if he’s ava’s stalker. Where are you? Relax, spence. I took care of things. Daddy dearest won’t be taking off for bora bora with the wicked wife. Why not? I said I took care of things. Esme, what did you do?

O people who started outmanipulating one another, nikolas and I have, um, formed a very strong bond. Some might even call it love.

[ Chuckles ] Maybe it’s the difference in our backgrounds, you know, but I’m — I’m much more pragmatic than he is. I hate leaving, but I-I know that it’s something that I have to do. And I know I will miss my life here, especially avery. Of course I’ll miss nikolas. I-I’m sure I’ll probably shed a tear or two. But I know that I’m going to be alright. Nikolas isn’t like that. He’s not used to compromise, to having to adjust. And I’m just worried that when the — the reality of my absence sets in, he won’t react… well.

[ Chuckles ] That’s why I need you to look after him. Who’s going to look after you? I’ll be looking after myself. And I-I won’t be anybody’s victim ever again. Thank you for everything. Take good care. And please give that beautiful wife of yours a hug from me. I will.

[ Chuckles ] You take care. Roger barstow worked in the records department at crichton-clark. Drew was held there at least six months. Curtis thought there might be something in his records that could tie into his disappearance. Portia went with curtis hoping her doctor status would encourage barstow to share patient files. And instead, jordan found him murdered in the basement. Yeah, I just wish I could figure out if barstow working at the clinic is relevant to him sitting next to naomi dreyfus on the plane, or was it just some bizarre coincidence. You said they bought their plane tickets together. That doesn’t strike me as a coincidence. You know, I’m more interested in your reaction when I mentioned crichton-clark. Drew was my former son-in-law. Oh, of course. So you would have heard the name of the clinic and known robin scorpio-drake was instrumental in his escape. There’s that. But it turns out I have a more direct family connection to crichton-clark. What am i still doing here? What are you doing here in the first place? This was not part of the plan. I had to improvise when joss left with esme and there was no sign of you coming back to the pier. Spencer was about to tell me something really important. Spencer told you he’s ava’s stalker? It was kind of heading in that direction. He didn’t say the words exactly, but you blew it the moment you walked in. Spencer: Esme, do not play around here. How did you take care of things between my father and ava? Are they reconciled, or aren’t they? Esme: Never mind the details. Just focus on the big picture. Your father’s gonna be convinced to stay in port charles by someone a lot more persuasive than you. This is not making me feel better, esme. It’s too late. I lit the match, and the fuse is burning. Oh, and, uh, one more thing. If the explosion happens at wyndemere, you don’t want to be around.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Josslyn? Hello. Josslyn: Hi. Everything alright? Yeah, sonny’s back, you know, so, uh, things just go back to normal. And by normal, you mean carly and sonny are still married, and you are once again his loyal lieutenant. Yeah, pretty much. So I assume you are thrilled. I doubt your mother will be. I mean, I know she said that she supported you and carly being married. That’s because you told her that you were happy. And that’s all monica wants for you. Still, I’d imagine she’ll be relieved to know that you and carly are no longer husband and wife. Yeah, probably. But the downside is sonny’s back, a man she has loathed since the day you started working for him. Yeah, I mean, it was always my choice to work for him, you know? Yeah, but — yeah, you don’t need to defend sonny. He is who he is. He did what he did. My point is now that sonny’s back, it means that, uh, he’ll once again be calling the shots, and you will be taking all the risks. And that has to be a nightmare for your mother. Look, nina made the wrong choice, but with good intentions. She thought that she was protecting sonny from his old life. Protecting sonny? She thought he was happier in nixon falls, okay?

[ Laughs ] Nina is a liar! “She was doing it to save sonny.” “She was doing it to save her relationship with wiley,” when the fact is, nina still blames me for what happened to nelle… yeah. …And this is payback, plain and simple. Okay, it’s true — and you know it! I know, it’s true that she was traumatized with everything that happened to nelle. But was she really wrong about sonny’s safety? I mean, I heard that a limo blew up right after your — your marriage. Couple of mobsters got killed. Are you seriously saying this to me right now? Are you kidding me? I’m — I’m not talking about sonny’s physical safety in nixon falls. He was happier there, mentally, and nina saw that. So I should go thank nina?

look, you weren’t in nixon falls. You didn’t see sonny’s life there. It was simpler, less complicated. He was a guy named mike. He worked behind the bar, and he took care of his friends. Stop, stop, okay? Because you saw what you wanted to see. You have hated sonny for 25 years. You’ve hated how powerful he is, how arrogant he is. And I’m sure nothing made you happier than to walk in and see sonny humbled, tending bar somewhere. Do you really — do you honestly believe that — that my only issues with sonny are about my ego? You know how much I hate that his business puts josslyn at risk. And his return, it might make her life even more dangerous. No, jax, it’s going to make it safer, because there won’t be a question about who’s in charge of the business. If he makes you feel any better, I gave nina an ultimatum, okay? I told her that if she didn’t tell sonny who he was, that I was going to tell him. That’s great. You trusted the one person who’s been lying for the past nine months to step up and tell the truth. Well, sonny’s home, isn’t he?! Because he was trapped in a fire and almost died. He remembered everything on his own. No thanks to you, and no thanks to nina. Oh, believe what you want. It’s your life. I don’t want any part of it. What’s this family connection of yours to crichton-clark? My uncle victor ran the clinic for some time. Can you get in touch with your uncle? Not without holding a seance. Last I heard, he was pretty dead. He was killed in the clinic when it was destroyed — shot, I believe. Damn, another roadblock I can’t seem to get around. At the time, victor was the director of the wsb. Took over the bureau from the inside and used it for his own ends. My understanding is that the details are classified, but, uh, if I were you, I would contact anna devane or robert scorpio. I think they’d be able to tell you more.

[ Doorbell rings ] If that’s joss and esme, I give up. Hi. Uh, mr. Corinthos, welcome back. It’s so good to see you. I second that. Good to see you, trina. Cameron. I’m sure josslyn relied heavily on both of you while I was gone. Is — is, uh, nikolas around? Who’s at the door? Uncle sonny! Hey. Oh, my gosh! You get tired of people telling you that you’re all grown up? Yeah, you get tired of hearing people say, “welcome back from the dead”? You look pretty good for a guy who has a headstone at woodlawn. Well, you know, I got nine lives. You know that, spencer. Yeah, I thought you already used them all up. I can’t believe you’re here. God. In the flesh. When I heard you had, well, passed away, I-I knew I had to come home, because I realized that life’s too short not to spend it with my family. Speaking of which, is, uh, your father here? No, I think he’s already on his jet or in bora bora. Your guess is as good as mine. Oh! Hi, joss. I didn’t realize you were right behind me. Hmm. Nice to see you, as well, dr. Collins. Hello, esme. I hope it’s nothing serious that’s brought you here. Oh, no, just, um, visiting a friend. Josslyn? Oh, I’m just here getting my ankle checked on. It’s all good. Well, I’m glad. Oh, and laura and I are very happy that sonny is alive. I know laura can’t wait to see him when she comes home. Thank you. He can’t wait to see her, either. Well, I’m sure they’ll be in touch. It’s good to see you both. Oh, dr. Collins, um, do you have a second? Spencer and I are auditing classes at pcu, and, um, I’m really into my cognitive psych class. I’d love a chance to pick your brain. Well, since cognitive psychology directs us within, you could pick your own brain and then let me know what you find. Deal. Why did it look like you were, um, sneaking up on me? What were you talking to sonny about?

Monica doesn’t need to worry about me. Maybe you believed that once upon a time. But you’re a father now, jason. If jake or danny came to you and said that they were gonna do something incredibly dangerous, but you didn’t need to worry, would you worry any less? No. In fact, you might worry more if you knew that that child had no fear for their own safety — that they would run, not walk, to put their life on the line so sonny corinthos could turn a profit.

[ Sighs ] Look, ned, I-I work for sonny because I want to. I mean, he’s my friend. The work suits me. I’m good at it. It’s my — it’s my choice. Mm. But given the amount of times you’ve been arrested or injured, you can see, right, how that choice would be really tough on a mother? Yes, I do. And the rest of your family, for that matter? You know, I might not be responsible for sonny’s return, but I played a part in it, one I may live to regret. So you’re welcome. If you’re expecting a thank-you, go to hell! I know what the hell’s going on here. What’s that supposed to mean? Oh, what are you talking about? All you’re doing is protecting nina because you care about her and you want her back, although she’s been lying for the past nine months. So keep sticking up for her, jax! You know what’s ironic about this? When I told nina that she had to come clean and tell sonny who he was, she accused me of always sticking up for you. So I can’t win with either one of you. Oh, poor jax. It’s a shame you can’t get nina back. Yeah, it’s never gonna happen. ‘Cause she’s moved on. Am I interrupting a game? Who’s winning? Oh, I was gonna win, so we don’t even bother playing. I heard, uh, you were decamping to london. Yeah. Nikolas told you, huh? He’s heartbroken about the divorce. I’m assuming he’s not the only one. He’s not. But I don’t have a choice, you know? I have to keep my daughter safe. I have been doing my best to keep an eye on this psycho. And from what I can tell, he doesn’t seem to be faking his locked-in condition. Well, thanks for keeping an eye out. The sad fact is, I’m no closer now to knowing who the stalker is than I was on valentine’s day when I got that first creepy gift. So, have you made all your arrangements? Yep. Gallery’s taken care of. Kristina agreed to manage charlie’s, and I’ve said all my goodbyes — well, all but one. I was talking to your stepfather about a family matter. You’re not family. Spence is. And that concerns you, how? Mr. Corinthos has relationships with other people in port charles, joss. You know, it’s not really a good look for you, acting all territorial about your stepfather.

[ Sighing ] To be honest, I’m at a loss here. I’ve only ever wanted to be your friend. But the way you and trina have been treating me has really hurt my feelings. I mean, why don’t you like me? Cut the crap, “ez.” Your innocent act may work with spencer, but I’m onto you. Oh, and if whatever you’re planning involves my family, your feelings will be the least of your problems. I’ll, uh, try and call my father again. Maybe he’ll pick up this time. So, I can’t believe, uh, you’re in college. And I missed your graduation. Huh, you guys have fun? Yeah, we did. Mostly. There was actually some unexpected drama at trina’s party.

[ Door shuts ] What kind of drama? Nikolas: Sonny! Father, I’ve been calling you. Oh, my phone was on silent. Is everything okay? Yeah, I’m glad I caught you before you left. Will you guys excuse us? ‘Cause we have little bit of catching up to do.

You may not spend a lot of time with us, but we all care what happens to you. Well, I can’t promise that I can change how I do business, but, look, I’m not a pissed-off 20-year-old anymore. I do take in consideration that there are people who care about me, that you guys want me to stay safe, and I do everything I can to stay that way. Well, that’s all we can ask. Well, I’m gonna stop by the hospital, see monica, tell her what’s going on. That’s a great idea. I’m sure she’ll love to see you. Thank you for speaking up. It’s kind of my job, to speak for the quartermaines. Because whether you like it or not, you’re still one of us. I know. Honestly, joss, between classes, volleyball, and your cute boyfriend, I’m surprised you have time to worry about me. But since you do seem to be a tad obsessed, let me give you some advice. Minding your business is free. Minding mine will cost you.

[ Sighs ] Poor spencer. He’s got no idea who you are. I’m not sure how you managed it, but I know you’ve got something to do with whoever is stalking me. And you’ve won for now. I’m leaving town. But I am gonna make it my mission to discover the truth. And when I do, you will rue the day I return to port charles. I can only imagine the brimstone and hellfire ava’s pouring into ryan’s ear. He deserves it. Yeah, no arguments here. Alright, let’s get back to crichton-clark, because if there’s a link between naomi dreyfus’ murder and drew’s disappearance, then sam’s investigation just got a bit more dangerous. Well, I can see why that might concern you. This somehow leads back to the cassadines. It always does. So we need to figure out how before even more people get killed. What exactly did nina tell you about her life in nixon falls? That she knew sonny was alive and well the whole time, and she kept it a secret from me and his family. Why? What else does nina know? What else is she holding back? Was it just me, or did the temperature in the room drop when joss’ dad saw yours? I noticed it, too. It was just you.

[ Cellphones chime ] What’s going on? What do you mean you’re glad to catch me before I left? I’m not going anywhere. No, you’re not. Not if I have anything to say about it.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

8:00. Dimera, ej dimera. And I’d like a quiet table, please. I guess it is a special event. It’s a reunion of sorts.

Lucas: Special event? A reunion of sorts. Really? Did sami come back to you? I didn’t think she’d be that stupid.

Allie: Hmm. This is stupid good. Am I keeping you up?

Chanel: I’m just really tired. It’s hard to get a good night’s sleep when the bed keeps rocking like you’re shooting the rapids or something.

Allie: So, johnny finally wore you down, huh? Was it worth the wait?

[Line ringing]

[Phone rings]

John: Yeah, john black.

Johnny: Hey, grandpa. Is grandma there?

[Ominous chords]

John: Yeah, she is, but she’s not feeling that well. And she’s–she’s in our room resting.

[Uneasy music]

Demon marlena: Doug, seems like you’ve been a bit of a tattletale. I think we’ll just have to do something about that, huh? Of course, family and friends will be…ha…devastated. But they’ll think you died of natural causes.

[Eerie off-key notes]

But…it’s going to be anything…but natural causes.

[Offkey notes escalate]

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

[Soft orchestration]

John: Look, johnny. If you’re calling to talk to grandma about, uh… about your movie, we–we had that discussion, and we have decided that… that we’re going to pass on investing in it.

Johnny: Uh, I mean, I know you’re not thrilled with the story I want to tell. But does she feel the same way?

John: Yeah, I’m speaking for both of us. You know what, johnny, I’m going to tell you the same thing I told allie. This really isn’t a good idea. I mean, just to say that, uh, the memories of that time are–are painful would be a gross understatement.

Johnny: Yeah, but maybe confronting the memories could be a good way of exorcising them.

John: Was that supposed to be a joke?

Johnny: No.

John: Look, kiddo, I’m sure you think demonic possession is big box office here, but what happened to your grandma, it was horrific, it was painful, and it needs to stay private. So if and when you decide to make this movie here, you’re going to leave that part out.

Johnny: Sorry, but grandma’s possession is the only part I’m leaving in.

Chanel: You have a dirty mind, horton–that’s one of the things I like best about you.

Allie: You’re the one sharing details about your sex life.

Chanel: I shared details about my lack of sleep. Johnny and I didn’t have sex last night.

Allie: But you said…

Chanel: I said the bed kept rocking. Don’t you remember? Your evil twin made me watch “the exorcist” last night. And as you know, I’m very sensitive, highly suggestible–

Allie: Yes, a delicate flower.

Chanel: Every time I close my eyes, I just–I kept dreaming that I was that girl in the movie. And that the devil… was coming after me.

[Machinery beeping]

Tripp: Morning.

Julie: Where’s kayla?

Tripp: She had an emergency, so I’m going to be checking on your husband.

Julie: He did not have a good night.

Tripp: And neither did you. Right?

Julie: I’m all right.

Tripp: Mrs. Williams, I’m going to be here a few minutes. Maybe you’d like to walk up and down the corridor or go out and get some air?

Julie: I can’t leave, but thank you. And I don’t believe I thanked you for the kindness that you showed us yesterday.

Tripp: You didn’t have to. I’m sure it was very upsetting.

Julie: I suppose I was naive. I thought marlena could help doug right away. But… after he saw marlena, everything got worse.

Marlena: You’ll never win– never!

Demon marlena: No, doug has to die. He knows too much.

Marlena: No!

John: Doc. Sweetheart, what’s wrong? Is olay better than your clean beauty?

Allie: It’s like johnny is so obsessed with making this movie, he doesn’t see that it’s gonna freak out every single person in our family. He thinks he’s an “auteur.” I think he’s a jerk.

Chanel: He’s going to upset more than just his family.

Allie: Well, yeah, I mean, I don’t think the good people of salem are gonna be thrilled about it either.

Chanel: No, I’m not talking about people.

Allie: Are you talking about–

Chanel: The devil. Doesn’t he get that making a movie like this about the devil is just begging for trouble?

Allie: What kind of trouble?

Chanel: I read about that movie before I went to bed. And when they were making it, the set burned down, the actresses who played the mother and the daughter– they both got burned. The crew, they kept getting sick. And people who saw it, they had heart attacks, and some women even had had miscarriages.

Allie: No wonder you had nightmares.

Chanel: Like I said, you don’t go messing with the devil if you don’t want him messing with you back.

Allie: I didn’t know you were superstitious.

Chanel: Why do you think I went into business with you? You’re my good luck charm.

Allie: No, I’m just the one with the donut recipe.

Chanel: That too.

Allie: So, um, you think you’re going to talk johnny out of making this movie?

Chanel: What is the point? He’s just as stubborn as you are. And besides, I like how passionate he is.

Allie: Are we still talking about his movie, or are we talking about the way he feels about you?

Chanel: I thought you said you were okay with me seeing him.

Allie: I am.

Chanel: Okay, you say that. But every time I bring him up, you get all weird. So I’m beginning to wonder if you really meant it.

Abigail: Well, you don’t seem very happy.

Johnny: Uh, just spoke to grandpa john. He said that he and grandma won’t be investing in my movie.

Abigail: I’m sorry. What’s the movie about?

Johnny: Will wrote this a couple of years ago.

Abigail: Oh! “Sami brady story,” huh?

Johnny: It’s just a working title.

Abigail: Well, it definitely won’t be dull. Um… will…

[Laughs] He didn’t happen to write anything about–

Johnny: Your affair with my dad? While he was engaged to my mother? As a matter of fact, he did.

Ej: No, samantha is not back in salem…[Sighs] Not that it’s any of your concern.

Lucas: Not my concern? She’s the mother of my children. She’s also my friend.

Ej: Hmm. Have you heard from her? Has allie?

Lucas: No.

Ej: Neither has johnny. Doesn’t that indicate to you that she’s not particularly interested in being allie and johnny’s mother? Or your little friend?

Lucas: I just find it hard to believe that she’s not keeping in touch with anyone.

Ej: Believe it. She left town with her tail between her legs.

Lucas: No, she wouldn’t do that–that’s not her style. She wouldn’t run away.

Ej: Mm. No, you’re right, she never has before. But it seems, as shameless as samantha has always been, after the last set of revelations, she finally realized how completely she had embarrassed herself–that, in your arms, she had reached, so to speak, the bottom of the barrel.

Lucas: You smug son of a bitch.

Ej: You loser.

Lucas: It’s not how sami saw it.

Ej: [Scoffs] Oh, you better watch what you say–you’re very close to making me angry, and trust me, you don’t want that.

John: Doc. Sweetheart, what’s going on? You okay? You all right?

Marlena: I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know. I just…oh, I had the most…horrible nightmare.

John: It’s over, it’s over. Can you tell me about it? My nunormal?

Kate: Hey there.

Philip: Mom.

Kate: Mm. Bad time?

Philip: No. No, it’s okay. Uh, what’s going on? Is everything all right?

Kate: Yes, everything’s all right–I mean, a mother can’t visit her son without him asking what’s wrong?

Philip: Not this mother.

Kate: Ah. Ha ha. What does that mean?

Philip: Well, this mother, and that would be you, is a very busy woman with a big life. So for her to just come over and visit her son for a casual visit…

Kate: Okay. All right. It’s not just a casual visit. I’m just feeling some concern for my children today.

Philip: Mom, if this is about me and chloe…

Kate: No, it’s not you and chloe–I do have other children, you know, philip.

Philip: Okay. So if it’s not about me… and I doubt it’s about austin and billie, or cassie and rex. ‘Cause they’re doing fine as far as I know. So narrowing it down, I’d say you’re worried about lucas.

Kate: Yes, of course, I’m worried about lucas. Aren’t you?

Philip: No.

Kate: You’re his brother, philip. Lucas is suffering. How could you not be concerned about him? I mean, he is in so much pain. He’s so sad, mopey, and all over sami disappearing to god knows where.

Philip: Okay, you want my take? Lucas is a grown man. Why don’t we respect his right to be sad and mopey and just stay the hell out of it?

Kate: [Huffs]

Lucas: Take your best shot, dimera, go ahead.

Roman: Hey. Hey, two choices. Get out or sit down.

Lucas: It’s all right, roman, I’ll go–I got things to do anyway.

Ej: Like what, water your plants, get back to your knitting?

Lucas: Just tell johnny that I’ve set things in motion, all right?

Ej: What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Lucas: What, you didn’t hear? I’m investing in his movie.

Ej: You little worm.

Lucas: Yeah, “the sami brady story.” I don’t want to spoil it for you, though, but you’ll be surprised who your wife’s real love interest is.

Abigail: So, um, the affair. Did will write about that in detail?

Johnny: Actually, it’s the most cinematic sequence in the script, yeah.

Abigail: Really?

Johnny: Very little dialogue. Just my mother going about her life, you know, planning a wedding, completely unaware that anything was even wrong.

Abigail: And–

Johnny: And it’s intercut with some rather striking visuals.

Abigail: “Discreet” visuals.

Johnny: There’s a long shower montage.

Abigail: Oh god. Oh…

Johnny: Yeah, there’s a lotta steam, but I don’t know that I’d call it discreet. The way that will described my dad’s naked body, it’s almost like he had a thing for his stepfather. A little inappropriate, if you ask me.

Abigail: Okay, well, uh, can’t wait for the premiere. I’ll bring the whole family.

Johnny: Abigail, I’m cutting the whole storyline. There won’t be anything about you and my dad.

Abigail: Oh, my–ohh. Oh, thank god. That was just–that’s not my proudest moment.

Johnny: Not to worry.

Abigail: Okay.

Johnny: And with will’s blessing, I’ve begun rewriting the script. I’m going to focus on the darkest, most dramatic thing that’s ever happened to my family when my grandma was possessed by the devil.

Allie: Of course, I meant it. Listen, I told you what worried me about him. That it was going to be a hit it and quit it thing. But you’re a big girl. And if that’s okay with you, then it’s fine by me.

Chanel: Well, if he was how you say he was, then I’d say he’s changed.

Allie: Really?

Chanel: Really.

Allie: Well, that’s good. And he is my brother, and I do love him. I want you both to be happy. I want you to spend many more nights together watching many more scary movies.

Chanel: No, no. I have to find a way to distract him from that or else I won’t be getting any sleep.

Allie: Actually, I didn’t sleep much last night either.

Chanel: You and tripp?

Tripp: Yeah, his vitals are good and his condition is stable.

Julie: He really had a terrible night. He tossed and turned.

Tripp: I will talk to kayla about increasing the dosage of the sedative they gave him. But try not to worry. Agitation is a fairly common side effect for dementia.

Julie: My husband does not have dementia.

Tripp: I’m sorry, I should be more careful with my words. I’m not making a diagnosis. His cognitive status is still being evaluated, you know, so we’ll do some more tests and see what the data tells us.

Julie: I don’t need to see data. I know if I pray for my husband, he will get better.

Tripp: I’m not questioning the power of prayer. I’ve read more than one study that a positive attitude can result in significant benefits in a patient’s prognosis.

Julie: Do you really believe everything has a scientific explanation?

John: It’s okay. It’s all right. So what was the dream about?

Marlena: I can’t remember.

John: It had to be a doozy. You’re still shaking, baby.

Marlena: Well, I think it had–I think it had something to do with doug.

John: That makes sense. I know how worried you are about him.

Marlena: Yeah.

John: Yeah.

Marlena: It’s just that everything’s been going so fast. It’s all–it’s all a blur. I can’t–I can’t quite figure it out. I was talking to doug… and then he was on the ground, and…julie was there.

John: We’re thinking it might be his heart.

Marlena: Oh. Well, after–after tripp and kayla stabilized him, I… I wanted to check on him just to…see that he was all right. And…I wanted to make him feel better. And I don’t remember exactly what I said to him, but I…I think I made him feel worse.

John: How could you do that?

Marlena: I don’t know. I don’t know.

Woo! You are busy…

Kate: Okay. Well, obviously I shouldn’t have come here to talk to you about this. So you can just get back to whatever you were doing, and I won’t bother you again.

Philip: Mom. Mom– mom, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Look, I’m just–I’m kind of sensitive to you interfering in our lives.

Kate: I do it because I care. My children are the most important things to me in my life, and I just hate seeing lucas so unhappy… pining away for sami who has broken his heart once again.

Philip: I do–I tried to help lucas with sami. You know that. And even though ej’s done with sami, she obviously doesn’t seem to want to get back with lucas. So game over. He needs to move on.

Kate: Oh yeah. Well, that’s easy for you to say.

Philip: You know… you might stop obsessing about lucas’s love life and your kids’ love life if you had a love life of your own.

Kate: [Huffs]

Ej: Can you believe the nerve of that son of a bitch? First, he sleeps with my wife, and now he’s giving money to my son for some cinematic pipe dream.

Roman: Lucas isn’t the only one.

Ej: Et tu, roman?

Johnny: So what do you remember about my grandma being possessed?

Abigail: Oh, not much really. I was just a kid.

Johnny: But weren’t people talking about it?

Abigail: I mean, there were whispers about it here and there but no one really wanted to talk about it very much.

Johnny: Yeah. Yeah, I’m getting that.

Allie: Yeah, tripp did spend the night, but that’s not why I didn’t get any sleep, so… I’m dealing with a horror movie of my own–it’s “the teething of toddler henry.”

Chanel: I thought he already teethed.

Allie: Well, they don’t get all their teeth at once, so… poor guy, he was up most of the night, but fortunately, tripp was there. He actually got up with him at 5:00 this morning so I could come here and bake donuts.

Chanel: What a sweetie.

Allie: Yeah, you don’t even know the half of it. This man offered to come over every day at that ungodly hour until the nanny gets there at 7:00.

Chanel: Yeah, I know we keep rough hours, but I’m really happy you have someone who wants to take care of you.

Allie: Yeah, he’s pretty incredible. I really, really care about him.

Chanel: But…

Allie: I didn’t say but.

Chanel: You didn’t have to. You want to talk about it?

Tripp: Mrs. Williams, I’m sorry if I seemed clinical. It’s very clear how much you you love your husband and how important your faith is to you.

Julie: Just answer the question. Do you really believe there’s a scientific explanation for everything?

Tripp: Yes, I do. But I don’t think that faith and science are mutually exclusive. You know, the more I learn about how the body works, the more I’m convinced that life itself is a miracle.

Julie: There are more things in heaven and earth.

Tripp: A lot more. But saying that I think there is a scientific explanation doesn’t mean we have it yet. Like, I was talking to allie about this last night. Her brother johnny has a script. He says it’s a true story about something that happened right here in salem.

Julie: A lot of things have happened in salem.

Tripp: It’s about dr. Evans being possessed by the devil.

Julie: Oh, that.

Tripp: Do you remember what happened?

Julie: Well, doug and i weren’t in town at the time. I’ve heard the stories.

Tripp: And do you believe the stories are true?

John: I know you did everything you could to help doug–I can’t imagine you doing or saying anything that would hurt him.

Marlena: I love doug.

John: Yeah.

Marlena: No, I don’t think that I would.

John: You know what I think? I’m thinking that–I’m thinking that you’re working a little bit too hard. I think that you’re always taking care of everybody else except yourself, so maybe you need to just shut it down and take a day off.

Marlena: No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Doing nothing would drive me crazy. No, I…I need to figure this out, figure out what’s wrong.

John: Yeah, well, I was also thinking if your memory’s a little fuzzy, you recorded your session with me. Is there any way you might’ve recorded your session with doug?

Marlena: I did record it! I did. I’ve got to go listen to it.

John: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Right now?

Marlena: Yes. Yes. If I’m going to be able to help doug, I’ve gotta go do it right now.

John: I figure there’s no way I’m gonna to stop you from doing this–at least let me drive you to the hospital.

Marlena: No, no, you don’t need to do that.

John: Yes, I do, because i want to see doug and julie anyway for myself, okay?

Marlena: All right. Okay. I’ll just get dressed. I’m so glad to be doing something.

John: Right.

[Uneasy music]

Philip: Must’ve been good for your ego, roman pursuing you like that?

Kate: Oh…well, I mean, he didn’t exactly pursue me. He just let me know that when I was ready, or if I was ever ready, that he will–he will be there.

Philip: But you still didn’t answer my question. So I’ll put it another way. If roman is so appreciative of you, and since you put it into the context of, you know, it being a restart to your love life…why aren’t you two together?

Kate: Aha. Because love is risky. And I don’t want to take that risk. You know, I…I just went through something where I was tremendously hurt. I was humiliated, and I think I’m just going to concentrate on my family and my work for a while. And yet…

Philip: And yet?

Kate: Oh, I–there’s just something…something about him. His little mischievous smile. He has such a big heart. The way he stands up to people. I’ll always admire that.

Roman: I am not about to tell one of my grandkids no when they’re following a dream.

Ej: That dream is puerile. His place is at dimera, working for me.

Roman: Whew. Ej, look… I don’t mean this as criticism, all right, just a real question. Do you ever think about how stupid you are? Look, if you want a surefire way to get johnny completely out of your life, then force him to do something he doesn’t want to. And, yeah, sneer at the most important thing in his life.

Ej: Thanks for the counsel. Was it your great parenting that made samantha so grounded, so stable?

Roman: Oh, I am so sorry that butting in makes you feel so uneasy.

Ej: You’re wasting your money, roman. He’s just like his mother. He’s making grandiose plans for a movie that he talks and talks and talks about. A movie he’ll abandon the second there’s actual work involved.

Roman: Ej, look. I know you’re angry with sami. Do you ever stop to think that maybe you’re taking that out on johnny?

Ej: No. I’m trying to help my son grow up, and you’re indulging him just like you always indulged your tramp daughter.

Roman: Oh, wow. You obviously came here for a fight, didn’t you? But you know what they say? Be careful what you wish for, because I’m going to tell you something right now–you keep talking like that, you’re damn well gonna get one.

Johnny: So I know I can raise the money. See, even though grandpa john was turning me down about investing, he told allie that the whole thing was true. Now tell me that a documented story about a possessed grandma is not marketable.

Abigail: Yeah. But why do you not see that your family might see the movie as exploitative? I mean, what’s the phrase, “sell your own grandmother”?

Johnny: What I don’t see is why everybody’s so offended by it. I mean, possession is nothing to be ashamed of.

Abigail: What?

Johnny: She didn’t seek out the devil, she didn’t upload a profile to a demonic dating website.

Abigail: Right. But just because it wasn’t her fault doesn’t mean she wants there to be a movie made about it. And how does allie feel about it?

Johnny: Good. I hope. I asked her to play my mother.

Abigail: Aren’t you going to use actors?

Johnny: Lots of great directors use real people for their movies all the time.

Abigail: Oh, actors aren’t real people?

Johnny: You know what I mean. “The florida project.” “Nomadland.” “The sound of metal.” This is a salem story. I want people who are really connected to this town. People who are connected to the people who had to go through this unspeakable horror.

Allie: I really wish my mom would answer the texts.

Chanel: Okay. You can try to change the subject all you want, horton, but you know what? Maybe I’ll just ask tripp what you’re keeping from me.

Allie: All right, I will tell you. Tripp is so great, and I really, really like him. And the sex is…

Chanel: Okay! I get it. He’s great. Okay. So what is the problem?

Allie: He told me that he loved me the other day… and I didn’t say it back.

Julie: Let’s say in my life experience, the devil takes many forms. Gabi hernandez being one of them.

Tripp: I’m sorry.

Julie: Never mind. You keep your faith in science. I’ll keep mine in god. And I’m sure between the two of us, we can do doug some good.

Tripp: Amen.

Julie: Thank you so much for the care you’ve shown him and me.

Tripp: I’m off my shift now. So how about on my way out, I stop by the chapel and say a prayer for your husband?

Julie: I think it’s a wonderful idea.

John: All right, now, I am going to go check in on doug. I want you not to push yourself too much. Okay?

Marlena: Yeah. I think–I think I’ll feel better when I hear what’s on that tape. It all just happened so fast. I must’ve missed something. Yeah. Please give doug and julie my love, hmm?

John: [Quietly] I will.

Marlena: [Softly] Thanks. Shingles? Oh… you mean bill.

[Click]

Marlena: Now I would like to start off by discussing some of your recent moments of cognitive dissonance. I understand that you’ve been mixing up people’s names?

Doug: Well, apparently, I– I confused you with vivian alamain. Sorry about that.

Marlena: It’s okay. I’ll find some way to forgive you for that.

[Doug chuckling]

Doug: I feel worse really about forgetting tom and alice. I mean, how could I ever forget them? They meant so much to me.

Marlena: I know that. Having a–having a lapse in memory doesn’t mean they’re any less meaningful to you. So please don’t feel guilty about it.

Doug: Well, I do feel guilty. I groped paulina price, for pete’s sake. It’s completely inappropriate.

Marlena: Do you have any idea why you did that?

Doug: No. It just–it just horrified julie. All this has been so hard on her.

Marlena: Julie told me that you locked her in the freezer by accident.

Doug: That was no accident. I locked that bitch in there on purpose.

John: So how’s it going?

Julie: Well, he’s heavily sedated, but so agitated. I really don’t think he’s getting the rest he needs.

John: And I don’t think you are either. I know you were here all night.

Julie: Where else would I be?

John: Julie, doug’s going to need you to be strong for him–why don’t you go home and get some sleep?

Julie: Sleep is impossible. I could use a shower. I could use a change of clothes.

John: Hey, now, that sounds like a plan. So why don’t you go do that, and I’m just going to stay right here with doug. Okay?

Julie: Oh, thank you, john. I won’t be long.

John: No, no, no, you take your time, take your time.

Julie: My darling. And you are my darling.

[Machinery beeping]

[John signs]

Abigail: So, if you’re going to get allie to play your mom, you’re going to get your mom to play marlena?

Johnny: Can you imagine my mother on a shoot? She’d be like margo channing on steroids.

Abigail: Who?

Johnny: Besides, no one knows where she is.

Abigail: Well, then you might have to get a real actress.

Johnny: Tough role. Gotta be strong but vulnerable. Really beautiful. I’ve got it.

Abigail: Cate blanchett?

Johnny: You.

Chanel: I wish I could relate. Johnny and I are nowhere near the “I love you” stage. We’re still wooing.

Allie: Wooing?

Chanel: His words. Not mine. It’s like going back to the age of chivalry.

Allie: And if he wins your heart, are you going to tie your handkerchief to the end of his lance?

Chanel: I’ve never heard of that. Oh, that was like a joke. An age of chivalry joke.

Allie: Sorry, I can’t help it–it’s just the thought of johnny as some pure-hearted white knight seems so ludicrous to me.

Chanel: Okay, you did it again.

Allie: Did what?

Chanel: We were talking about you and tripp, and you got me off subject. So what is going on? You actually have a pure-hearted knight who babysits. Now, what is the problem?

Allie: I was telling kayla I know tripp is so great, and we are serious about each other. But I just–I don’t think that I’m ready. You know, like, when I tell someone that I love them for the very first time, I want to make sure that I really mean it.

Chanel: So? What do you think is holding you back?

Tripp: What are you two talking about?

Dayquil severe for you…

Allie: We were just talking about chanel getting wooed.

Chanel: And about how you’re her 5:00 A.M. Hero.

Tripp: Well, I guess we’re all pretty lucky.

Allie: Yeah, we are.

Roman: Ej, listen to me very closely. I’m not going to just stand here and listen to you badmouth my daughter, all right? Do you get what I’m telling you?

Ej: Okay, I’m sorry, I was out of line. But she was the one who broke her vows. She’s the one who left.

Roman: I’m not defending her, but we both know you were far from a great husband. All right? And like I said, just like you pushed her away, you are about to do exactly the same thing to your son.

Abigail: Me?

Johnny: Of course. I should’ve seen it before. I mean, you’re strong, you’re intelligent. You’re beautiful.

Abigail: I mean that those things–I mean, that’s not untrue, but I just–I don’t know anything about being obsessed. I-I… well, um… I guess as someone who had did, I do know a thing or two about someone taking over your life and who you are, but–

Johnny: So does this mean you’ll do it?

Abigail: [Laughs]

Marlena: I’m sorry. Did you say–

Doug: That I locked her in on purpose. You heard that. You heard right. It was the most fun I had all week.

Marlena: I’m sure you don’t mean that. I think you’re just confused.

Doug: No, marlena, you’re the one who’s confused. Ha ha ha. I am not doug. Ha ha ha ha.

Marlena: Of course you’re doug. You’re doug williams. And I’m marlena evans.

Demon doug: I know exactly– exactly who you are. It’s been over 25 years, marlena. But did you really think that I wouldn’t come back for you?

[Unsettling off-key notes]

John: We’re all right here for you, buddy. In fact, marlena is in her office right now and is trying to figure out what she’s going to do next.

[Rapid beeping] Whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on, buddy.

Doug: Marlena.

Demon doug: And you have to stop pretending that you don’t remember me. It hurts my feelings after everything we shared. All those nights together at your penthouse… desecrating st. Luke’S. Remember when john caught us red-handed?

Marlena: Oh, my god.

Demon doug: Not god, marlena. But I’m just as powerful. Which you know better than anyone.

John: That’s right. That’s right, doug. Marlena is trying to help you.

Doug: John, marlena needs our help. She tried to–she–oh dear god.

John: She tried to what, doug?

Doug: Kill me.

[Dramatic musical sting]

[Rapid rewind sound]

[Static, garbled sounds]

Demon doug: Dear marlena… did you really need to play this tape? I’m so hurt that you’ve already forgotten our little reunion. Allow me to refresh your memories.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Brooke: This is unbelievable! The two of you continuing to betray eric!

Quinn: We’re not betraying eric. I’m sorry, didn’t justin tell you?

Ridge: Tell us what? It’s pretty obvious what’s going on here.

Brooke: I would expect this from you, quinn, but you, carter?

Carter: Let’s just hold on. Let’s calm down and actually start listening to each other.

Brooke: Listen to what? More excuses, more lies?

Ridge: Justin caught you, right? Which proves once again that you cannot be trusted ever.

Brooke: I was right.

Quinn: Which is more important to you than the actual truth.

Brooke: Truth? From you?

Carter: Will you accept it coming from me?

Ridge: From you? Yeah, couple of months ago for sure. I trusted you with my life.

Carter: I realize–

Ridge: How do you– how do you that to my dad? How do you do that? The man who opened his heart to you, his business, his family. You just thew it back in his face. Not once, but twice.

Carter: That’s not true.

Brooke: Not true. Justin caught you in bed together! When you promised eric that it was over. He believed you. He took you back, quinn. And then what? You crawl back in bed with carter at your first opportunity, sneaking around?

Quinn: We are not sneaking around!

Carter: Listen to what quinn is trying to tell you.

Brooke: Why should we?

Quinn: So that we can talk about what’s actually going on instead of your wrong assumptions. Carter and I are not sleeping together behind eric’s back. I’m telling you! He knows all about it.

Katie: Okay, I am officially confused. First, what could you possibly have to feel ashamed about? And second, you want to tell me the truth about you, and quinn and carter? Eric, what’s going on? What are you talking about?

Eric: Katie, this is a conversation that we’re gonna have here that is not easy for me. I’m going to ask you to be patient and bear with me, okay?

Katie: Are you okay? Has quinn done something to hurt you again?

Eric: Quinn and i are fine.

Katie: You say that to protect her even when it’s not true. I know how heartbroken you were when you found out about quinn and carter. How betrayed. I mean, honestly, I still don’t understand how you forgave her.

Eric: Well, there’s lot more to the story than you understand. Or that anybody understands.

Katie: I don’t know what you’re trying to say.

Eric: There’s a reason that– that quinn turned to carter. And part of the blame goes to me.

Brooke: You really expect us to believe that eric knows you’re sleeping with carter. Now, I mean, that is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

Quinn: It’s the truth.

Ridge: What about you? You’re going along with that lie?

Carter: It’s not a lie.

Ridge: What happened to you? You used to be this great upstanding guy until this one got her hooks in you.

Carter: No one’s got their hooks in me, ridge, quinn is telling you the truth. Eric knows about everything.

Ridge: No one’s buying it.

Quinn: Enough! Okay, enough. I hate that’ve brought us to this point. This, this actually feels like the real betrayal of eric, but I don’t– I don’t have any other choice! No, no, no. The truth is eric wants me to be with carter. Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Katie: Eric, you cannot blame yourself for quinn’s affair with carter. I mean, it’s not like you gave her a permission slip. She made a conscious choice to sleep with another man. That is her fault and her fault alone.

Eric: Katie, she felt neglected.

Katie: Oh, is she a child? Because we all feel neglected sometimes. That gives her no excuse to break the heart of the person who loves her most.

Eric: There were extenuating circumstances. There was… there was a distance between us.

Katie: Clearly something is going on. I wish you would tell me what it is.

Eric: I was not able to be the husband that she wanted or the… husband that she deserved.

Katie: What are you talking about? You are everything that she could possibly want! You are loving, you are forgiving. How could she be anything but fulfilled?

Eric: Katie, I wasn’t able to…I– I wasn’t able…

Katie: To what?

Eric: I wasn’t able to perform… in the bedroom. I have erectile dysfunction. I was seriously hoping I would never have to say that again. But I was in denial about it at first and I made excuses for not touching her, and I– I pushed her away… at first. And now– she knows now.

Katie: I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this.

Eric: Yeah.

Katie: It must be very difficult for you and for quinn, but it’s no excuse for having an affair with carter, it’s just not.

Eric: No, it’s not. Not the first time.

Katie: The first time? Eric, are you telling me that it’s– that it’s happening again? Are you serious? I mean, I can’t believe this. You tell quinn about what you’re going through and her response is to jump into bed with carter? What kind of woman does that?

Eric: It’s okay, katie.

Katie: No, it’s not okay. How could it be okay?

Eric: Look, just because my sex life is over, doesn’t mean that hers has to be.

Katie: Are you saying that you condoned the affair?

Eric: More than that, katie. It was my idea.

Ridge: Now I get it. My dad wants you to be with carter. What kinda twisted wishful thinking is that?

Brooke: It’s crazy! No man wants his wife to be with somebody else.

Ridge: Let me ask you something. You don’t feel ashamed about any of this? After what he’s done? He’s trusted you, he’s shielded you, protected you?

Brooke: He loved you.

Ridge: And this is how you repay him?

Quinn: You don’t know what you’re talking about, either one of you.

Carter: There’s a whole backstory to this.

Ridge: There’s a backstory? I didn’t know there was a backstory. Let’s hear that.

Brooke: Ooh, this gotta be good.

[ Quinn sighs ]

Quinn: Eric and i were having… difficulties in our marriage.

Ridge: That’s the backstory? It’s a marriage, it’s what happens–

Brooke: I thought it was just– I thought it was just residual disappointment from the whole shauna thing and it would just– it would blow over, but it didn’t go away. And I–I couldn’T. I couldn’t understand why my husband… wouldn’t be my husband anymore.

Brooke: What are you even talking about quinn?

Quinn: Eric… can’t make love to me.

Brooke: That doesn’t really surprise me, given the terrible way you treat him.

Quinn: No, brooke! Physically. Eric has erectile dysfunction.

Brooke: What kind of game are you playing, quinn?

Quinn: It’s true. I wish it wasn’T.

Ridge: He would’ve told me.

Brooke: No, he wouldn’t, ’cause he’s sensitive about it. Ridge, god, wouldn’t you be?

Ridge: You knew about this?

Carter: Eventually.

Ridge: Oh, okay. Well, then it must be true, right?

Carter: It’s true.

Brooke: Okay. So, instead of having some compassion for your husband, being there as a supportive wife, you turned to your lover!

Quinn: I was there for my husband. I stood by his side. I told him that he was everything I wanted, he was everything I needed, and that we would get through this together. But eric wouldn’t accept that.

[ Scoffs ] I didn’t turn to carter. Eric set us up.

Ridge: Well, that’s– that’s crazy talk, even coming from you.

Quinn: Yeah, I know. I know. But it’s the truth. Eric insisted I be with carter. I’m a ganiac, ganiac, check my drawers

Katie: I couldn’t have heard you right.

Eric: Quinn has my blessing to sleep with carter. In fact, katie, I encouraged it.

Katie: Eric!

Eric: Look, this isn’t something that I ever would’ve imagined… wanting a wife of mine to do. Not at all. Quinn has needs that I can’t fulfill, and carter can. Her sex life doesn’t have to be over just because mine is.

Katie: I wish I knew what to say.

Eric: Katie, they were both reluctant at first, they were.

Katie: Oh, wow, this… this makes a lot of sense, everything you’ve been saying and– and the fact that you’re here alone so often because quinn was with carter?

Eric: I don’t want any outrage or you being incensed about this, to be expressed towards me or anybody else. I certainly don’t want you to be angry with quinn

Katie: I won’T. I won’T. I would never, okay? But eric. My heart is broken for you. This isn’t love. Giving your wife to another man. And carter, my god, what is he thinking?

Eric: Don’t blame him. Carter has feelings for quinn, and I… I took advantage of that. I… I manipulated this whole thing.

Katie: You may say that this is what you want, but I know you. Having your wife in some other man’s bed has got to be so devastating.

Eric: All right. This was hard, katie. Thanks for listening to me, okay? And… I’m gonna–

Katie: Okay.

Eric: I’m gonna go upstairs, please. Don’t be offended.

Katie: No, of course I’m not. Of course I’m not. Thank you for trusting me.

[ Eric sighs ]

Ridge: I’m loving this. Keep going, what’s your endgame? Carter: She’s telling the truth.

Quinn: Come on, you know your father. You know how selfless he is. He didn’t want the passionate side of my life to die. So this thing– this thing with me and carter, it was his conception. Eric didn’t just recommend it, he didn’t just think about it, he pushed for it!

Ridge: I don’t believe you.

Brooke: You are making up this ridiculous story because you don’t want ridge and me to go to eric and confront him about this very personal issue, because you want to continue your tawdry little affair!

Quinn: You have just never been able to accept how deeply eric loves me.

Ridge: So what? This has nothing to do with that. He would never agree to this.

Carter: It was his idea.

Brooke: Stop. Quinn will do or say anything to protect herself. You don’t have to go along with her lies.

Carter: I’m not, brooke. No one’s lying here.

Quinn: You know, how stupid would that be if I was? All you would have to do is go to eric and ask him yourself. But that’s the problem here. See? Because eric didn’t want anyone to know. He wanted us to keep this a secret. But you two? I had no other choice. I had no other choice to get you to be able to understand what’s going on here, and you’re the reason why we betrayed eric. Brooke: Oh, god! For god’s sake, stop lying! This is ridiculous. Eric would not do that. Eric would never do something so twisted and so sick! Sitting at home all alone while he knows that you are off sleeping with your lover. That is ridiculous, quinn! That is wrong on every single level.

Quinn: I’m out of here.

Brooke: I can’t even believe you’d say that. What is–

Ridge: No, no, no. Let her go. Let her go. Let’s create your trademark style at macy’s vip sale

[ Door opening ]

[ Brooke sighing ]

Katie: Whoa.

Brooke: The nerve of that woman.

Katie: Who?

Brooke: Quinn. Who else? The things that she does and expects to get away with. I feel bad for eric, I really do.

Katie: You won’t get any argument from me.

Brooke: Ridge and i just uncovered something. And it’s going to hurt eric. Now, I know you’ve been there for him. I’m just giving you fair warning, because I think he’s really gonna need your support after this.

Katie: Okay.

Brooke: You know how we’ve had justin keep an eye on quinn?

Katie: Yeah, ridge told me.

Brooke: Well, he followed quinn. To carter’S. And they picked up right where they left off. She betrayed eric all over again. And if that’s not bad enough, her sleeping with carter, she actually looked us in the eye and said that it was eric’s idea. That he condoned it. That he manipulated quinn and carter to be together. Why are you so calm? I thought you’d be upset like I am?

Katie: Because unfortunately, for the first time in her life, I think quinn is actually telling the truth.

Brooke: What?

Katie: She’s not lying. She’s telling the truth about all of it.

[ Door opening ]

Eric: Quinn? I’m surprised you’re home so soon. I thought you’d– I thought you’d still be with carter.

Quinn: I–I was, I was, but something happened that you need to know about right away.

Eric: Sounds pretty ominous. What is it?

Quinn: It’s as bad as it gets.

Eric: What is it?

Quinn: First, I want to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry, because I know how upsetting this is going to be to you.

Eric: You tell me what this is.

Quinn: Ridge made some sort of a deal with justin.

Eric: Spencer’s lawyer?

Quinn: Yes! Yes, ridge sicced justin on me. He followed me to carter’s loft and– and he found us together.

Eric: What? What?

Quinn: No, no, it gets even worse. We sat there with– with justin. We were begging him not to say a word. We– we actually even thought we got through to him, but clearly we didn’T. He must’ve run straight to ridge and told him everything, because who shows up next but ridge and brooke, in their moral indignation.

Eric: Oh, god.

Quinn: They– they confronted us, eric, I am so sorry. We had no other choice but to tell them everything, why carter and I were together again, and– and I’m so sorry, because I know how much you wanted to keep this private. I do, but you know ridge and brooke when it comes to me.

Ridge: Hey, guys. Now, whatever she’s telling you, don’t believe her. I have a feeling she’s trying to lie her way out of a pretty big hole right now. But I know the truth. And I’m sorry she’s cheating on you again with carter.

Eric: Ridge, listen to me, listen–

Ridge: No, no, no, you listen to me. Enough with this. Please, you gotta toss her out. Look, she’s been bad, she’s always been a liar. But now, this is pathetic. She said it was you, you sent her to carter, that you sanctioned the whole thing. Dad, look at her. This is the best she’s ever gonna be. She’s only gonna get worse. And I can’t sit back and watch her betray you over and over again.

Billy: No. Listen to me. We need to figure out what happened after that. Why gaines checked out of the hotel so abruptly and where he went. I’m sorry, but that’s not an adequate answer. People don’t just disappear. Okay, fine. Then come up with another solution. I wouldn’t be surprised if victor newman had something to do with gaines deciding not to talk to me, so ask around. See if anybody saw anything or heard anything. Okay, look, talk to one of your banking associates. Do whatever you need to do. Just figure it out.

Jack: What’s got you so worked up?

Billy: Hi. How are you?

Jack: You first.

Billy: I am — I’m fine. It’s just, lily has gone to stanford to go see mattie, and I’m here running everything on my own.

Jack: Normally you thrive on chaos, so that can’t possibly be the problem.

Billy: Who said there’s a problem? You’re basing that on the assumption of hearing part of a conversation. Actually, how much of that conversation did you hear?

Jack: Enough to hear that you were pretty frustrated. Are you delving into areas that wouldn’t make lily happy?

Billy: No. She knows the whole story.

Jack: Okay.

Billy: If I was gonna fill you in — and I’m not saying i will — I highly doubt that you would be receptive, no matter how convincing the evidence is.

Jack: Evidence of what? What exactly are you investigating?

Billy: Why victoria should not rush into marrying ashland locke.

Jack: Wish I could say I was surprised by that. Phyllis hinted that nicholas is on a similar mission.

Phyllis: Hey, I didn’t expect to hear from you so soon. Have you landed? Do you need me to pick you up?

Nick: No. I’m still in atlantic city. Mechanical issues.

Phyllis: You’re kidding me.

Nick: I wish I was.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Well, I mean, how long is it gonna be? Well, that’s a stupid question. Of course you don’t know. Hey, uh, what have you found out?

Nick: Remember that lead that was promising that I texted you about?

Nick: Well, it took me down a rabbit hole, and not a good one.

Phyllis: How bad is it?

Nick: Very, if what I think all this means is true, but i don’t want to get into it on the phone. I’ll fill you in when I see you. I think you and jack and traci should get on the plane and go to milan. I’ll get there as soon as I can.

Phyllis: Oh, traci is not going to be flying with us. There was a change in her plans.

Nick: Yeah. Okay.

Phyllis: Yeah, so… well, I guess you should just, you know, fly to milan from new jersey.

Nick: I got to confront ashland first and see what he has to say, but I promise you I’m gonna see our girl get married one way or another.

Phyllis: I wish I were flying with you, but I know this is important to you.

Nick: I got to follow through on what I’ve learned. This trip raised some serious questions, and I need some answers from ashland before my sister says “I do.”

Nikki: Well, we got a lot accomplished.

Victoria: Yes, and not a moment too soon.

Nikki: Is everything alright?

Victoria: What? Yes. I’m fine. Why?

Nikki: Oh, I don’t know. You just seem a little keyed up.

Victoria: It just feels like, uh — it feels like there’s so much left to do.

Nikki: How was your fitting with lauren? Is your wedding dress almost ready?

Victoria: Uh, yes…and no. To tell you the truth, mom, I’m — I’m really not that thrilled with the design.

Nikki: Oh, no.

Victoria: It’s close, but —

Nikki: Not quite what you had envisioned.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Well, lauren assured me that she would be able to fix it. It’s just one added stress that I don’t need right now.

Nikki: You do realize that that’s what I’m for — to take some of the burden off your shoulders. Darling, please trust me when i say that everything for your wedding is going to be perfect.

Victoria: I want to believe that’s true.

Nikki: And you can. Look, it’s very normal to be anxious, that wonderful combination of nerves and excitement. So, when did you last speak to ashland?

Victoria: He canceled our dinner plans. Or at least he said he might have to, via text. He said that something unexpected came up, some sort of business that he had to handle.

Nikki: And that just made you more concerned.

Ashland: Circumstances have changed. I no longer need the money.

Douglas: The wedding surprise for your bride — did that fall through?

Ashland: Well, I’m sure I can find something even more spectacular.

Douglas: [ Chuckles ] Well, best of luck with everything.

Ashland: Thank you.

Victoria: Well, this is a surprise.

Ashland: My meeting ended quicker than expected and I’m free for the rest of the day and I would love to spend the rest of it with you.

Victoria: Well, I’m with my mom. Since you said you were busy, she and I were planning on grabbing a bite together.

Nikki: Oh, no, honey, we can do that any time. Go meet him. I insist.

Ashland: Tell nikki thanks for me.

Victoria: I will. Where are you?

Ashland: Society.

Victoria: I’ll be there in a few. I can’t to see you and hear all about your business meeting. Bye.

Ashland: Nate!

[ Chuckles ] I’m waiting for a victoria. Please join me.

Nate: Oh, well, I’m waiting for elena to finish her shift to join me, so I’d be happy to hang with you until they arrive.

Ashland: Excellent. Ohh, it’s nice to get out of work at a reasonable hour, huh?

Nate: Ah, well, it happens occasionally.

Very occasionally.

Ashland: How’s the new job?

Nate: Hectic. I, uh — I do love it, though. I’m enjoying the challenge of managing our surgical team.

Ashland: Well, not many are up to the task. Clearly you are where you should be.

Nate: Well, so far, so good. Thank you for asking.

Ashland: Of course.

Nate: Now, uh, I don’t mean to overstep, but, uh, as your best man, I feel it’s my responsibility to look out for the groom. You seem tired. Feeling alright these days? How are you managing the effects from the chemo?

Ashland: Physically, uh, i feel remarkably well, which surprises me, given what the doctors had prepared me for. It’s just been a stressful few days.

Nate: Any particular reason?

Ashland: I truly appreciate that. There were a few trouble spots that I had to deal with. Uh, I think I’ve gotten them handled. And from now on, I, uh, promise — no more stressful days. I’m going to focus on enjoying this special time with the woman I love.

Victoria: [ Sighs ]

Nikki: I thought hearing from ashland would reassure you that everything is fine.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Look, I — I suppose that you’re gonna hear about this at some point. When billy made that stink about that attorney, jesse gaines, I, um — I couldn’t help but feel a little bit concerned about it, so I looked him up online.

Nikki: And?

Victoria: Turns out that his father was an attorney, too, and worked for camilla rhodes, the woman who mentored ashland and gave him his start. Look, after everything that has come to light about ashland’s past, I have to wonder — what is that attorney’s son doing in genoa city now?

Nikki: Well, did you ask ashland about it?

Victoria: No, not yet. I was hoping he would say something to me.

Nikki: Evidently, he hasn’T.

Victoria: I don’t want to make it seem like I don’t trust ashland. Opening up about his past with our family was difficult enough for him.

Nikki: You know, I walked in on ashland and victor at the ranch yesterday. They were talking very quietly, almost conspiratorially.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Well, that does sound like dad.

Nikki: I didn’t press them for what was going on. I doubt they would have told me if I had. But, darling, I certainly don’t want to add to your worries.

Victoria: Mom, thank you. I appreciate you telling me. It’s just, I wish I wasn’t having all of these doubts so close to our wedding.

Nikki: I’m sorry. P>> Victoria: You know, this is billy’s fault. He is the one who planted these suspicions in my mind, and i just can’t shake them.

Jack: What it with this incessant needs to dig into ashland locke’s past? You’ve already published plenty of material about him, some of it less than kind. He’s suffering late-stage cancer. Yes, of course, he wants to change part of his life. Why isn’t that enough? What is it about this guy that you and nick don’t trust? What diabolical scheme is he somehow trying to pull off?

Billy: Okay. When ashland was 20 years old, he suddenly came into enough money to purchase two tv stations, which was the start of his career.

Jack: An inheritance.

Billy: No. He did not come from any wealth whatsoever. Far from it. When he was a teen, he ran away, changed his name, gave himself a whole new identity.

Jack: Wait, how do you know all this about him?

Billy: Because I was invited to a newman family gathering with victor and nikki and nick and of course victoria, where he gave us all a very heartfelt confession. He claims that he was trying to escape an abusive father. Of course, that’s his word. There’s no public record of him ever changing his name. And he thinks that that’s enough to just, you know, close the case.

Jack: Well, maybe he’s just trying to protect harrison. I mean, it makes all the sense in the world. He wouldn’t want to say any more, especially to the press.

Billy: Well, he didn’t say anything until he was backed into a corner.

Jack: By you.

Billy: No. I am not the only one that’s suspicious. Victor and nick are looking into ashland, as well. And after ashland’s story, it really only left more questions, like what is his real birth name, which he says he will never tell us at any point whatsoever. Look, just to be very clear, I’m not looking to take this information public, okay? I am simply trying to protect victoria and my children, and ashland seems to think that sharing the bare minimum is enough for us all to back off and stop asking any questions, which really was the only reason I was there in the first place.

Jack: Ashland’s in love, about to marry a woman with whom he has limited time, maybe very limited time. I can understand him not wanting to spend that time fending off attacks from her ex. Look, if victoria is satisfied, that should be enough.

Billy: Well, she’s not.

Jack: She’s told you that?

Billy: No.

Jack: No?

Billy: Look, I know victoria, okay? She is starting to question ashland. She’s starting to wonder what else he’s lying about. And I’m not gonna sit back and let her marry some guy whose entire life is built on lies and deception, okay? I mean, we don’t really know for sure if he’s sick.

Jack: He is going through chemotherapy. He’s just made the gut-wrenching choice to let harrison live in italy with kyle.

Billy: Yeah, that makes it a lot more convincing, doesn’t it?

Jack: You got to stop this. Listen to yourself. Listen to the leaps of logic you’re willing to make to justify what you’re doing.

Billy: I’m protecting the mother of my children, jack.

Jack: I know you keep saying that. Victoria is no longer your responsibility. And let’s be honest. This is not protecting victoria or protecting your kids or maybe even about ashland. This is about you trying to stop victoria from moving on. Did you know that your clothes can actually attract pet hair?

Victoria: Hello, hello.

Ashland: Darling, I’m so glad you could join me.

Victoria: I’m so glad you called. Hi, nate.

Nate: Hey there. Um, elena should be joining me soon.

Ashland: It turns out they had the same idea that we did to have an early dinner. Yeah. And here she is right now.

Elena: Hey!

Nate: Hey there. How was your shift?

Elena: Busy, but not insane.

Nate: Well, can’t beat that.

Ashland: How about a table for four? We’d be delighted to have you join us.

Elena: You sure?

Ashland: 100%. In fact, I’m not gonna take no for an answer.

Victoria: U-unless nate and elena would prefer some alone time.

Nate: Uh, we’d love to join you. Right?

Elena: Yeah, absolutely.

Ashland: Well, then it’s settled. I’ll be right back.

Victoria: Wonderful.

Billy: You’re not the first person to claim that I’m having a hard time getting over victoria, but like them, jack, you would be wrong ’cause I am happy with lily, very, very happy. My life has taken a different direction, and I am great with that.

Jack: Historically, that would be about the time that you start to sabotage yourself.

Billy: There you go.

Jack: You’re my brother, and I love you, billy, but you know that’s the truth.

Billy: It’s not what this is about, okay? This is about protecting victoria and my children. That’s it. Their welfare. Nothing more. And given the amount of lies and half-truths that ashland has told us in the short amount of time that he has been in our lives, I would be remiss not to look into him.

Jack: This is your ego talking. Victoria is perfectly capable of of looking after her own life without any of your help.

Billy: Okay, you mentioned nick as having the same thoughts. Does that make him an egomaniac, as well?

Jack: All I know is nick took an unscheduled trip to the east coast.

Billy: What makes you think that this is about ashland?

Jack: Phyllis said that it was about victoria and her wedding, and the way she said it led me to believe that he was doing more than looking for a great wedding gift.

Billy: Hmm.

Jack: Okay, you don’t seem surprised.

Billy: Nick has always claimed that he’s on the fence about ashland. But he’s never really thought there was enough there to keep digging. So, if he’s on the east coast looking into ashland, I am great with that because we are after the same thing — figuring out the riddle of who ashland locke really is and protecting the people that we love. And for your theory, jack, you can throw it out the window because I can care about my ex, I can want what’s best for her without being possessive and having an ulterior motive.

Phyllis: Okay. [ Chuckles ]

Traci: I’m so sorry. Jack has stepped away, but, um, he won’t be gone for long.

Phyllis: Oh.

Traci: Is nick not with you?

Phyllis: Oh, no, he’s not. His, uh — his plane was, you know, stuck in atlantic city. Mechanical issues.

Traci: Well, that’s unfortunate.

Phyllis: Yeah. It is. I mean, he doesn’t know when everything is gonna be fixed. He has to come back here before we go off to milan together, but he’s aware that we may have to go without him. He’ll just take a commercial jet or something, you know? But he’ll definitely be there for kyle and summer’s wedding, definitely.

Traci: Okay. Good. Well, does that mean then that it will only be you and jack flying to italy together?

Phyllis: Uh, yeah. Yeah.

Traci: W– okay. You know what? While we wait for jack, I’m gonna pour you a glass of wine, and we’re gonna have a little talk.

Phyllis: Sounds great. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Traci: [ Laughing ] So like a twofer!

Phyllis: Two for one wedding! Exactly!

Traci: A romance double-header.

Phyllis: Right. You know, that’s a good name —

Traci: For my next novel.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, that, but I was gonna say for a band.

[ Both laugh ]

Traci: Perfect!

Jack: Nice to see the two of you getting into the spirit of things.

Traci: Oh, jack, hi. We — phyllis and I just decided it’s been too long since we’ve had a chance to sit down and talk.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah, it’s really nice. I mean, it was the escape club…

Traci: Yes!

Phyllis: …Last time we spo– that was like a hundred years ago.

Traci: Yes, and a night i will never forget. I mean, we only were able to exchange just a few words because phyllis was so focused on making sure that everybody had the perfect spa experience. And succeeded.

Phyllis: Oh, that is so nice of you to say. Thank you.

Jack: Phyllis has poured her heart and soul into that hotel, overcome obstacles I think would be insurmountable for pretty much anyone else.

Phyllis: Thank you. What — what’s that look about?

Traci: [ Laughs ] I’m just thinking about this magical oasis that you have created. Seriously. A destination with so much cachet, completely respected. It’s a reflection of you, phyllis, you know, how much you’ve grown in the last few years as a human being, a woman who has literally risen from the ashes, very phoenix-like, you know?

[ Chuckles ] And yet mayhem seems to still manage to creep in.

[ Laughs ] For example, a rude customer who gets a surprise ice bath.

Phyllis: Oh, well…

Traci: And the, um, grand opening, complete with ecstasy-spiked punch.

Jack: Let’s not forget the armed man descending from the ceiling the day of the hostage crisis.

Phyllis: Thanks.

Traci: [ Laughing ] Exactly! It just gets my writer’s mind going, you know, wondering what in the world is next for this colorful protagonist.

Jack: I can help with that. A jet ride to milan to watch her daughter get married, escorted by the proud and dashing fathers of the bride and groom.

Traci: Oh, jack, jack, you don’t know the news.

Jack: Wait. What news?

Phyllis: Oh! Yeah. Uh, nick — his flight is stuck in atlantic city mechanical issues. You know, so he doesn’t know if he’s gonna get back to genoa city in time, you know? And so we may have to go off to milan without him.

Jack: Well, that’s no problem. I’ll just have my pilot file a later flight plan as soon as we know nick’s status. In the meantime, we can enjoy a dinner together.

Phyllis: Great. Sounds doable.

Traci: Um, I have some work that I have to turn in. So, why don’t you guys figure this all out, let me know when it’s sorted? And, um, phyllis, it really was just great catching up.

Phyllis: It was my pleasure.

Jack: That was a nice surprise, walking in and finding the two of you getting along so well.

Phyllis: Yeah. It was fun. Although it made me wonder.

Jack: Wait. Wonder what?

Phyllis: Well, I wasn’t sure if you said something to her, you know, about…

Jack: Wait. What I confided to you? No. God, no.

Phyllis: I mean, I wouldn’t blame you. I mean, you are very close to your sister.

Jack: Wait a minute. Listen to me. I told nick that, only nick, for a reason. It was the right thing to do. I wanted to be honest. I have nothing to hide. And you have nothing in your glass. Let me get you a little more wine.

Phyllis: Okay, great. Will you have more wine?

Jack: No, I’m gonna have ginger ale tonight ’cause the last time I drank around you, i poured my heart and soul out, and I’m not gonna subject you to that.

Phyllis: Oh, come on! I hope you’re joking. Really. You’re not subjecting me to anything. You could bare your heart and soul out to me any time you want.

Jack: Right back at you.

Nate: Excellent meal. The fish was perfection.

Elena: And I loved seeing those photos of tuscany. The palazzo is gorgeous.

Nate: Gonna be one heck of a wedding.

Elena: We can’t wait.

Ashland: Neither can we. Isn’t that right, darling?

Victoria: Yes. My mother has worked very hard to make this the perfect day.

Ashland: Nikki has done a magnificent job, and I couldn’t be happier that both of you will be joining us.

Nate: Yes. Well, we should get going. Thank you you two for inviting us to join you.

Elena: Yes, we had a great time.

Ashland: Us too.

Nate: And my offer still stands. Let me know if the groom needs anything.

Ashland: I appreciate that.

Elena: See you in italy.

Victoria: We’re looking forward to it.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] You know, ever since we sat down, you seem a bit distracted. Is something wrong?

Victoria: You tell me. Because I am having a lot of trouble not feeling like you’re keeping something from me. Did you get some — some news, some bad news about your illness, and you’re reluctant to tell me? Or maybe this has something to do with the fact that my brother, nick, flew to new jersey for some reason that he won’t share with me. Oh, or maybe it’s about a lawyer named jesse gaines who’s connected to your past and the woman who mentored you.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Not here.

Victoria: [ Exhales sharply ] Where then?

Ashland: Let’s go back to the office, where we can speak in private.

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Hey, it’s me again. Any news on jesse gaines? Still nothing? Okay, so you’re telling me that this guy basically admitted that he’s got information on ashland’s past, we’ve agreed on a price to get him to talk, and then just up and disappears? It’s not good enough, okay? Keep digging ’cause I need answers soon.

Nikki: Stop trying to fill victoria’s head with doubts.

Billy: Hello, nikki.

Nikki: Victor explicitly warned you about interfering with our daughter’s happiness. And you know what he’s capable of when he’s angry. Defy him at your own risk. Oh, and here’s a news flash. You should worry just as much about defying me.

“The young and the restless”

will continue. (Upbeat pop music throughout)

Elena: Thanks. Hey, did you notice victoria’s mood, too?

Nate: Hard not to notice how distracted she was.

Elena: Intense. My god. Although she did try to hide it. But it shouldn’t be that stressful, planning such a happy occasion.

Nate: Yeah, I think there’s more to it.

Elena: Yeah?

Nate: When I ran into ashland, he seemed to be in pretty bad shape. It reminded me of, uh…

Elena: Of what?

Nate: Why they’re moving so quickly with this wedding.

Elena: Hmm. Have you talked to ashland about his treatment? And what has his oncologist said about his progress?

Nate: We didn’t go into detail, but it’s clear to me he is not as well as he claims to be.

Elena: Sorry to hear that. But it would explain why victoria seemed so off.

Nate: Well, I advised ashland to slow down, you know, stop trying to manage everything. This time should be about the love he and victoria share, and the huge commitment they’re about to make, and nothing more.

Ashland: I assume billy came running to you and that is how you learned about the attorney?

Victoria: Former. Former attorney. Jesse gaines jr., Who lost his license due to malfeasance. I don’t understand why I didn’t hear this from you.

Ashland: Mainly because —

Victoria: Don’t tell me that it’s not a problem. It can’t be a coincidence that this man just shows up in town. Look, you promised me that you weren’t gonna keep any more secrets about your past, and I’m trying really hard to believe that. But I keep getting these unsettling surprises, and it’s getting harder and harder to convince myself that there’s nothing wrong here. So please just stop with the vague reassurances.

[ Sighs ] Just tell me the truth.

Billy: I am not making victoria feel anything. She’s questioning ashland on her own, and for good reason — ’cause every day, a disturbing new piece of evidence pops up.

Nikki: What exactly have you learned that is so damning?

Billy: I’m still putting the pieces together.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] Just as i thought. The answer is nothing. You have no proof of anything. And yet you are determined to derail this wedding to feed your own ego.

Billy: Actually, the fact that victoria is not blindly accepting ashland’s version of who he is or the secret to his success is a good thing. And I would be glad if I was you that she’s asking questions of her fiancé, a man whose real name she doesn’t even know yet.

Nikki: I will always look out for my daughter’s best interests. And, no, I am not glad that you continue to meddle in her life. That you would criticize the man that she has chosen after the-many ways that you have failed her? Just know this. Victoria is going to marry ashland, and you are going to stop trying to undermine them.

Billy: Uncover the truth. That’s what I’m doing. And I’m not the only one.

Nikki: Back the hell off, billy, now. And do us all a massive favor. Don’t show your face at the wedding. You’re no longer welcome.

Phyllis: You still know your way around a grilled cheese, jack.

Jack: Yeah, I still have a few hidden talents.

Phyllis: Mm.

Jack: Wow, think about it. Tomorrow, this time, we will be in milan, about to watch our kids become husband and wife.

Phyllis: I know. For good. For good this time. Summer ann. She’s my little miracle. Ah. Beautiful. You remember how many doctors said it would never happen again after daniel? Remember that?

Jack: The head is out. The head is out.

Phyllis: Is she breathing? Can she breathe? Can she breathe? Answer me. Jack, look at me. Is she alive?

Jack: She’s alive. And she’s beautiful. Time to meet your mommy.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. Hey, baby girl. Baby…

Jack: Cover her up. Cover her up. Cover her up.

Phyllis: Look at you. Oh, my god. I’ve been waiting so long to see you. Oh, my baby.

Jack: Hello. This is jack abbott. Turn the power on now. Okay, get ready. Hold tight. Here we go.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Phyllis: Look at you. This is your first ride.

Jack: There’s no jolt. Thank you.

Phyllis: Baby, it’s your first one.

[ Smooches ]

Jack: [ Breathing heavily ]

Phyllis: [ Sobbing ] Thank you. Thank you, jack. You gave me a miracle. Thank you.

Jack: I felt the same way about kyle. When I found out he was my son, it was this amazing, unexpected surprise.

Phyllis: Yeah. It was an unexpected surprise.

[ Both laugh ] I’m glad we can talk like this and reminiscE. It makes me happy.

Jack: I remember you coming down those stairs…

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness.

Jack: …What, almost 20 years ago.

Phyllis: Yeah. Ah. That was lovely. Not just the ceremony. I mean the entire thing was…

Jack: What you got in the bag here?

Phyllis: Stay away from the gown!

Jack: I’m just gonna take a little peek.

Phyllis: No. No. No. Listen, go — go downstairs. Do something, alright? I have to get ready! I’m not even dressed.

Jack: Not so fast. Not so fast. Come here. You realize the next time we kiss we’re gonna be husband and wife?

Phyllis: [ Chuckling ] Yes. Mm-hmm. Are you getting cold feet?

Jack: Do I look like I’m getting cold feet?

Phyllis: I’m the luckiest woman on earth.

Jack: You literally took my breath away. (Vo) if you want to set the rhythm for a great day…

Nate: Now you see why i agreed to join victoria and ashland when I would have preferred to have you all to myself. I’m worried about the guy.

Elena: You are a really good man. Do you know that?

Nate: I try.

Elena: I wanted to be alone with you, too.

Nate: Look, you’ve been working so hard lately with the askmdnow gig on top of everything else. Wouldn’t you rather go unwind and catch up on some rest?

Elena: I know two things for sure. The first is that you are incredibly sweet and thoughtful. And the second is, if you leave now, I will never forgive you.

Nate: [ Laughs ] Hmm.

Jack: Oops. I’m about to be a fool again, dangling my heart on my sleeve.

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh, would you stop obsessing over that?

Jack: Boundaries were never my strong suit.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] Listen. I already told you there’s a part of my heart that’ll never stop loving you. I just love spending time with you. That’s all.

Jack: Well, here’s to happiness.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

Phyllis: Mm. Oh! It’s nick.

Jack: Oh.

Phyllis: It’s nick. Hey, babe! Where are you?

Nick: I just got back to genoa city.

Phyllis: Oh, great! That’s fantastic. Nick is back. He’s back.

Nick: Yeah, I got something i got to do. Then I’ll meet up with the two of you.

Phyllis: Okay. What are you going to do?

Nick: I’m gonna get this out in the open.

Victoria: Just talk to me. Tell me — why did nicholas go to new jersey? Why is jesse gaines in genoa city? I don’t want to get these answers from anybody else. I want them from the man that I’m about to marry.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Well, go ahead and get that. Could be something important. Your brother is back. And he wants to meet.

Victoria: About what?

Ashland: We will soon find out.

Victoria: “We”? Healthy habits come in all sizes.

Phyllis: Ohh, okay. Good. Good. Oh, that’s a relief. So, nick is going to go to milan with us. I’m so glad that worked out.

Jack: Were you really that concerned?

Phyllis: I was. You never know what’s gonna happen with the planes and mechanical issues and, you know… but now we’re all gonna go together. I’m very happy.

Jack: You never said why nick went to new jersey. What made him take off just pbefore our trip when there was a chance he would be cutting it too close?

Phyllis: Yeah. I didn’t say anything, did I?

Jack: Okay, I can, uh — I can guess. Given what little you’ve told me about this, I would say it was probably about ashland locke.

Phyllis: Ashland locke? Why would you say that?

Jack: I spoke to billy earlier. He is absolutely convinced ashland is keeping a secret from everyone, a big enough secret that it might cause victoria to reconsider marrying him.

Phyllis: Mm. Well, billy is the king of wishful thinking.

Jack: Well, ordinarily, i would dismiss it as him trying to keep victoria from moving on, except nicholas also has his suspicions, and he would only be involved to protect his sister, to get proof before the wedding that she was marrying the wrong guy, if that proof exists.

Phyllis: Nick does know something. He has something. What victoria decides to do with it — that’s up to her. But, you know, nick then is gonna wash his hands of this. But let’s talk about the other wedding. Let’s put the focus on the wedding of our kids, okay? And by the way, I want to say thank you.

Jack: Thank you for what?

Phyllis: Thank you for postponing the jabot jet and holding off and making it so that nick could fly to milan with us. I really appreciate that. Thank you.

Jack: I’m glad it all worked out. We can all fly there together.

Nick: I was expecting to meet with you alone.

Ashland: Well, whatever you have to tell me, I want victoria to hear it, as well.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

For speaking upabout my bipolar disorder. Mm-hmm. I know it’s a — it’s a difficult subject to start. I mean, we’ve been through worse, right? No kidding.

[ Both chuckle ] Um, but you’re right. I got to get my blood work. I got to get the scripts. Whatever I got to do. You don’t have to stay. No, I — look. I got to call diane because I got to figure out what we need to do to have you declared legally alive. I have a feeling you, me and carly are gonna be signing a lot of paperwork. Paperwork can wait. I — I gotta go see carly and tell her that nina’s known I was alive the whole time. You stole sonny’s life, and, bitch, you’re gonna pay. Well, I see sonny told you. Okay. You have every right to be angry with me. Don’t tell me what I have a right to feel! Tell me why! And then give me one good reason I don’t kill you. Mom, I know that you are mad at nina. So am I. But she’s still wiley’s grandmother, and the last thing anybody wants is for him to get stuck in the middle, so if you haven’t found her yet… and you get this message, just…

[ Sighs ] I don’t know. Count to 10. Bye. Hey. Hey. So, are we really doing this? Hell yes. Okay, then. Get amped. Today’s the day spencer and esme get what’s coming to them. It’s been hours, and your father’s not back yet. Which isn’t unusual or alarming. You don’t find it alarming that your father went after ava? Really wish you’d tried harder to stop him. It’s moot now. Ava is probably halfway across the atlantic. Here’s to hoping her plane crashes and she’s the only casualty. Uh, yeah.

[ Both chuckle ] And more great news.

[ Clears throat ] I cannot believe that my uncle sonny is alive. Yes! Um, josslyn mentioned it. How wonderful. Did she tell you how it all went down? She was in a hurry, so she wasn’t too informative. He can tell me himself. I cannot wait to see him. I’m sure he’d appreciate a visit, you know, once he’s settled. Right. My feelings for ava aside, I am happy for avery. I know that little girl and her daddy adore each other. So…we’re gonna get you unhitched. Ava. What’s the big deal? It gets easier every time, divorce. How many times have you been divorced?

[ Sighs ] Too many. So…I want to get my fee. Do you want me to file this with the court? Do you want to stay married? It’s your call. I knew I would find you here. One last visit with wiley? Before willow and michael found out? Man, you are a stellar human being. Look at it like this. All my lies are blowing up in my face while you got your husband back. Can’t that be enough? You played god with sonny’s life for the past nine months, and now you’re caught, and you want it to be enough?! Hell no! You did it, and now you’re gonna pay the consequences!

[ Telephone ringing ] I had heard, but I needed to see it with my own eyes. Hello, epiphany. This is a miracle.

[ Epiphany chuckles ] It’s good to see you. Well, I-I’m here to see, uh, dr. Sullivan. Ah. Very sensible. But first, let’s get you into a room. I need to take your vitals so I can declare you officially back from the dead.

[ Laughs ] Twice in one day. Yeah. Um… is that a — is that a problem? Not for me. I’ve been looking everywhere for you. Nikolas. How did you get past bubba?! Just hear me out before bubba comes to. A-are you saying that you knocked him out? Oh, okay. You know what? I am gonna go give mr. Bubba my card because when he comes to, he might want to sue you for personal injury. You were always a charmer!

[ Chuckles ] I’m glad I caught you. You didn’T. You’re too late. Aside from a few practical matters, I’m ready to leave port charles. Next stop, london. That’S…my new base of operations. Is this one of those practical matters? It’s the most practical of all — our divorce papers. Signed and sealed. And all scotty has to do is deliver them. Then I got here just in time. Because there’s no longer any need for scott, no need for divorce papers, no need for you to head anywhere but home, to wyndemere, with me. Nikolas, we have gone over and over and over this. I have news, something that will change everything. What is it? Sonny is alive. I know. You do? Yeah, I know. I-I stopped by his house this morning to say goodbye to avery, and there he wa– why would you say goodbye? Don’t you see, ava? This changes everything. It doesn’T. Nikolas… it changes nothing. -We need to move fast. -Then let’s do this. It’s “go” time. Okay. Hold on. Are we really sure about this? You’re backing out now? Nobody’s backing out of anything. I’m just asking you guys to hear me out. I mean, yes, esme and spencer’s behavior, it could warrant suspicion regarding their involvement with the stalking of ava and nikolas, but — -exactly. -That’s why we’re doing this. But should we really move forward without any evidence? Why? We’re not a court of law. Cam, it’s like I said. When there’s smoke, there’s fire. Okay, but what if it’s just smoke? If we’re wrong, great. We’re not wrong! Then we’ll exonerate spencer and esme once and for all. They will not be exonerated. I’ll buy spencer a new designer belt, and esme and I will braid friendship bracelets together. That is not even in the realm of possibility. No, but I get what cam is saying. We need to keep an open mind. Okay, but if they find out what we’re up to, even if we prove them innocent, do you think they’re just gonna let that go, no hard feelings? And spencer? I mean… that guy can hold a grudge longer than anyone I know. Which would explain his motive for stalking ava. -Hmm. -Which is why I still think it’s a risk worth taking. It is for me. I barely know spencer, and I don’t like esme anyway. Can you imagine who does? My point is, if we’re right, ava can stay in port charles with her husband and daughter. And those two will be exposed for the schemers they are. It’s a win-win. For the last time, cam, are you in? Let’s spring this trap. I know what I’ve done. Do you? Really? Because I want to hear it from your own mouth! Okay! I kept sonny from his family for months, and my lies put a lot of people in danger… in port charles

and nixon falls. It wasn’t enough for you to make a scene at sonny’s funeral. You had to make sure he stayed dead to the rest of us? I will forever regret the unintended consequences of my actions. Unintended consequences?! My husband almost burned to death because of you! Is that what he told you? He said he was trapped in a fire, so I’m guessing you had something to do with it. I am so sorry for all the pain that I have caused. Really? Because I don’t think you are. Maybe, carly, I’m not as contrite as you want me to be because you have not owned up to your part in all this. How is any of this my fault?

So, I’m trapped, right? Epiphany: Mm-hmm. There’s fire everywhere. And suddenly… it came to me. Just in time to remind you about everything you have to live for. It’s good to be alive.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, it’s good to be myself, to know who I am and… I’m sure your family is over the moon. Well, t-they’re not happier than I am because I — when I saw them after all that time, I saw — it was michael…

[ Chuckles ] …Dante and josslyn and kristina. They all came over. Hmm. I’m sure they were happy to see you.

[ Both chuckle ] Donna was a little — she was, you know, too little to know who I was. I mean, she knew who I was, but she was just too little. And then avery held onto me so tight. Like, she would not let go and… of course she did!

[ Chuckles ] And even though, you know, it’s — it’s been… so long… it didn’t matter, I was — I was home. Believe me. It mattered. Everybody was devastated when you died. Especially carly and jason. Yeah, they had a lot to deal with. So, I heard jason got arrested or something? Did you, now?

[ Laughs ] Ha! Even in death, you don’t miss a trick. I-I’d love to hear the details. Well, I was not here for some of it, so it’s secondhand. I’m not asking you to swear to anything. Okay. So… jason was framed by peter august for killing franco. He ends up in pentonville, where he conveniently gets stabbed then brought here, where someone — I don’t know who — arranges for his escape. Well, somebody realized that it’s a lot easier to break somebody out of the hospital than it is prison. Indeed. Now, rumor has it that jason was free and clear, but then he ran back into the hospital to save britt westbourne from a couple of cyrus renault’s thugs. But at the time, everybody thought that he had taken her hostage. Jason would never do that. But not everybody knows that. Well… mm-hmm. He got shot. She fixes him up. They end up on the run for a while together. And the rest, as they say, is hospital gossip. So, why is sonny here? Uh, just a check-up with his psychiatrist. Uh, any word about your mom? No. Not yet. Finding liesl obrecht isn’t exactly a high priority for the wsb. I mean, I know she’S… who she is, but she’s still my mother. She’s all I have. Well, m-my offer still stands if you want me to look into it. Well, I meant what I said the first time. Marriage or no marriage, I don’t need your help anymore. I know you and sonny aren’t each other’s favorite people. I can’t imagine why. But he has resources we don’T. What resources don’t we have, nikolas? You’re a cassadine!

We are cassadines. Not for long. Did you tell sonny why avery’s mother was leaving? Yes, of course I did. And what did he say? Well, he wasn’t happy that avery has been approached. See? He wasn’t too broken up about me leaving. Are you suggesting that sonny corinthos is no longer the type of man who would find the person who threatened his daughter and make them suffer? Right? Why leave at all if avery is safe? She’s not! Avery will be in danger as long as I stay. This psychopath set fire to my car! Who knows what else they’ll do? What — what about that don’t you understand?! You’re right. I’m sorry. I… I thought sonny could be the solution that we needed. The only solution is the one I’ve already arrived at. I have to walk away. Uh, um… uh… you know, I can’t believe I’m gonna say this, especially to you, but I really think it’d be a shame for you two to give up on each other. Well, if it isn’t the townie. Mm-hmm! Live and in person, hey, esme. Hi, cam. So, to what do I owe this unexpected pleasure? The pursuit of higher education. Did you take the roman civ notes today? ‘Cause I-I don’t know what’s up with me, but I couldn’t make heads or tails of it. That’s because you’re intellectually ungifted, cameron. Spence! Be nice. Not everyone gets to grow up in boarding schools and haunted castles. Wyndemere is not haunted. It is so haunted. Oh, I know. What is with you two? Look, esme, can you back me up here? Isn’t it spencer’s duty as my intellectual superior to help me out? It is. Great. Unfortunately, I can’T. I didn’t take notes. Because you remember everything you hear. I didn’t take notes because I’m not taking the test. I’m auditing the class to keep my father off my back. Uh-huh. How’s that working out? So far, so good. So does that mean there’s gonna be another rager here? Why would I do that? Well, when the cat’s away… well, your dad is leaving, right? I take it that, uh, carly and jason brought you up to speed? Yeah. You know, I wish I had gotten out of that burning building before jason and carly got married so they didn’t have to put so much money on the deposits.

[ Both laugh ] I guess my timing was off. Oh, boy. I tell you, for a man who just barely made it out of a raging inferno, you have remarkably good vitals. You can head upstairs to your appointment. All right! Um… hey. Sonny? Yeah. It’s good to have you back. I missed you. Thank you. At the heart, this is about my grandson. Who happens to be my grandson! And sonny’s grandson! I realize that. That’s why I called you the first day I was in nixon falls to tell you I had seen sonny! Do you remember that?! But before I could even get a word out, you threatened to take me to court over visitations with wiley. So I deserve this? Months of grief, loss, and pain over one rude phone call? I never, ever intended things to go this far. You have to believe me, and if you don’t believe me, then ask jax. Jax knows? Yes, he — he figured things out, he went to nixon falls, and he encouraged me to tell sonny the truth. He encouraged you? Insisted. I agreed, and he trusted that I would do the right thing. Well, why the hell would he do that?

-What do you mean he’s leaving? -Oh, sorry. That was wrong word choice. I shouldn’t say “leaving.” No, my father can’t leave now. We just moved in. No, no. It’s just the — just the trip to bora bora. What makes you think spence’s dad is going to bora bora? Well, I was — I was talking to trina, and she said she booked two first-class tickets for mr. Cassadine and ava. You know, to celebrate calling off their divorce. Anyway, that was one long boat ride. Mind if I use the bathroom? Help yourself. Awesome. When will you learn that I am always right?

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphones dinging ] It’s done. Thanks to cam, phase one is in motion. Too late to turn back now. So, what you are saying, scott… is that nikolas and I should not get divorced? Yeah. I-I’m still gonna get my fee, though. What — where is this coming from?! I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately about love, life. You know, how sketchy it can be. You know, the separation and uncertainty is — is kind of death in its own way. You know, okay. You know, you get bounced out of an airplane like a guy that’s had too many martinis, ava, you get to thinkin’! Oh, scott. Is there any word on liesl? No. But, you know, I’ll find her. I’m gonna turn over every rock if I have to. I’m gonna say this. You know, true love… that’s worth fighting for.

[ Chuckles ] Never pegged you for a romantic. Well, I’ve been hopeless at times. But, you know, um, this — this whole thing with liesl, I-I can’t control any of that, but you know what i can control? You two. I-I’m not just gonna let you throw in the towel. There must be something that we can do to keep you two together. No. We’ve — we’ve been through all of that. Who knows? Scott is a clever guy. Maybe he can come up with an unconventional solution. Well, thank you, nikolas. So, you got a little… stalker problem.

Little problem? I don’t think it’s so little!

[ Nikolas chuckles ] Well, okay. Well, h-here’s what I’m thinking. So, this weirdo goes crazy when you guys make eyes at each other. So there’s only one solution! Do tell. Date other people. Well, uh, I’m always gonna care what happens to you, whether I help you or not. Yeah? Well, I don’t give a damn about you. Mr. Corinthos. Welcome back. Dr. Westbourne. Seems like we have a lot of catching up to do. Yeah. You were gone a long time. And one thing I’ve learned about port charles — you miss a day, you miss a lot. Renault tried to have her killed, right? Yeah. And you got shot trying to get her. Yeah, that’s right. Epiphany filled me in. Um, I guess you weren’t going to. I mean, there’s not much to say. It happened. It’s over now. Did — did you leave britt for carly? You had nine months to do the right thing. Right? While sonny’s kids grieved, while donna forgot her father, while jason went to prison, sonny tended bar in some dive, and you did nothing but lie to our faces, so why the hell would jax expect you to tell the truth?! And you feel qualified to judge? Because you know so much about the truth. Screw you, nina! Screw you! You stole nine months of sonny’s life because I hurt your feelings? At least you got sonny back! You got him back! I will never see my daughter again. Well, now the truth comes out. This was payback for nelle.

I’m never gonna forget that you and carly made that sacrifice to marry, to protect what’s mine. But you know what? You — maybe now you can go and pick up the pieces with britt. Eh. I don’t — I don’t think britt agrees with that. You can change her mind. Not sure that’s possible. Okay. Do me a favor. Ask yourself… does she make you happy?

[ Cellphone dings ]

[ Ominous music plays ] I should, uh — I should handle this. How — how long’s your psych evaluation? Don’t worry about it. I can have tony pick me up. Okay. Joss. What’s up? Okay. I’m kind of meddling here, but I feel like if I don’t, things could escalate. What happened? Mom found out something about nina,

and now she’s on the warpath. She’s not responding to any calls or texts. Okay. Don’t worry about it. I’ll find her. Spinelli. I need you to find carly and track her phone for me. You’re advising my wife to date another man? Don’t be thick, nik. I mean, you’re a cassadine. You of all people understand subterfuge. So she should date another man…for show. Yeah, exactly. Put on a little show for this crackpot. Won’t work. I tried it. I mean, well, I — just flirting. I flirted with austin at the bar that night. Yeah, and her car was still set on fire. All right, well, you know, austin, h-he’s a good choice on paper. Did you give it the old college try, ava? Well! [ Scoffs ] Okay. What about you? Have you stepped out with anybody? Of course not! I mean, but I would if I thought it would help. Subterfuge! Oh. Oh… look! Look who’s a little jealous. You want him to be jealous, but not you. There would be nothing to be jealous of. Wouldn’t there? Okay. Okay. The fake dating, it’s — it’s not gonna work. How about this? Skip town. We’ve discussed that. Yeah, I was all for it, but we can’t leave our children behind. Take the little germs with ya.

[ Stammers ] Any plan that includes uprooting or leaving the kids is out of the question. Okay. All right. I got another idea. You’re very resourceful, with resources a-and everything. You get mr. Bubba to just take this guy out. Or you get a real assassin and really get the job done. You know, we were just talking about the cassadine resources, weren’t we? Hm. Yeah. We’ve exhausted those options and have no new intel to show for it. Right. Well… then I guess we’re just gonna have to put our thinking caps on. Scott… I appreciate you trying to help, because it has helped me finally realize something. Ava’s solution is the right one. Until we figure out who this stalker is and how to handle them, we have to cut all ties with one another. You were so sure we had scared ava into leaving, but I told you your father could still win her back. I just can’t believe that my father is choosing ava over me again. Just when we started rebuilding our relationship. What the hell did I do all of this for?! If he can just leave me at the drop of a hat.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sure ava’s dropping a lot more than just her hat. That’s why your father can’t think straight. But don’t worry, spence. I’ve got this. Your father just needs to be brought back down to earth. They already called off the divorce. They’re probably already on the cassadine jet. It’s too late. I… do you trust me, spence? I’ve saved your cute little butt before, and I can do it again. Yeah, yeah. Of course I trust you. I just wonder if maybe this has all gone far enough. Hmm… let me decide how far is too far. I’ll be back later. So will your dad. Oh! Cam. Sorry. I’ve got to run. But please come again soon. Ciao. See ya.

[ Beep ]

[ Door closes ] Hey. You okay? Yeah. Never better. Okay, I thought we were past this. Past what? Hiding how we really feel… because we’re worried that one will make fun of the other. Okay, then. Cards on the table. Total honesty. Absolutely. What’s the real reason you stopped by? She-devil is on the move. Cam might have needed a little nudge, but he definitely delivered. Well, the launch will be here any second. Are you still tailing esme like we discussed? I don’t know. Spencer’s a slippery one, right? I mean, anyone who managed to avoid everyone they knew in port charles for weeks needs two sets of eyes on them. I’ll follow esme and report back. Joss. Be careful, okay? If we’re right, then esme set ava’s car on fire. Who knows what that chick is capable of? Please. I survived nelle. I can handle whatever esme’s got. Nina, you act like nelle was some kind of a martyr. She was a murderer. And the world is better off without her. And so is wiley. How can you say that to me? Nelle was my child! And I didn’t know that till after she died. You mean after you watched her fall? After you watched her plummet to her death and you did– how dare you laugh! You stayed silent all those weeks. You didn’t tell the police anything and you let her rot, not allowing me any kind of closure! So what did you decide to do — balance the scale? Lie about sonny for nine months? Let us grieve a man who wasn’t really dead? Are you kidding me, nina? I mean, you want to hate me and make me suffer? That’s fine. But what about sonny’s kids? What about sonny himself? How the hell do you justify what you did to them? I will gladly apologize to sonny and his children and his family and all of his friends… and his seventh-grade math teacher while I’m at it, but I’ll be damned if I ever apologize to you.

Cameron. You should be out of there by now. Esme, what the hell are you doing? You’re obviously not here to get my roman civ notes. Of course not. You’re auditing the class. Then why? Come on. It’s obvious. I practically told you. Told me…? I came to check up on you. Last time when we all hung out, I felt that there was tension. You mean when you, trina, and josslyn all huddled around and gossiped about me and my girlfriend? You sensed a little tension there? I’m sorry. That was not cool.

[ Clears throat ] So what did you guys talk about? What did you have to say about us? Or can you not tell? Well… we just all think that esme… I don’t know how to say this without sounding weird. You always sound weird, cameron. Just spit it out. We think that she has some kind of…hold over you. A hold? Like an influence. Esme loves me. I — and I didn’t say that she didn’T. She looks out for me, which is more than I can say for my own father. You don’t mean that, man. You know your father loves you. The way that emperor augustus loves his stepson, tiberius — by exiling him and choosing him last every damn time! Well, it looks like you did take your roman civ notes. If I’m not enough for my father, then… why am I still fighting for him? How are you fighting for him?

[ Scoffs ] It doesn’t matter anymore. Look. My relationship with franco was really rough when he first started seeing my mom. But we worked at it. We developed a relationship. And with time, with effort, he became like a real father to me. Your point? My point is, is that if franco and I made the father/son thing work, it’s not too late for you and your dad to put everything behind you guys and move forward together. But that’s just it, cameron. I’m not you. And I never will be. Thank you for trying, scotty. Hey, I know that you’ve been going through a very difficult time. I really appreciate you coming to meet me here. I’m still gonna bill ya. Oh, I know. You too.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. So, I got to meet a client. Should I take the papers with me?

About the time you spent scott.

[ Clears throat ] Uh, my resources are at your disposal to help you find liesl. I may take you up on that. That was kind of you. True love is always a worthy cause. Everything all right with you, dr. Westbourne? Yes. Why are you asking, nurse johnson?

[ Chuckles ] I get that you have to be the, uh, “untouchable” chief of staff. But just so you know…

[Singsong voice] I see through you. You let my daughter die. You lied to me for weeks. And then you did everything in your power to rob me of my grandson. And I would do it all over again. And if you want to hate me for it… come and get me. But don’t use someone like you used sonny. You know, look at the bright side. At least sonny’s back. You should be overjoyed. Is that supposed to make this all okay? All’s well that ends well? None of this — none of this is okay. It’s just better. Everybody is happy that sonny is back. The real question is, carly… will sonny stay happy? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

You see through me. Mm-hmm. Always have, always will. And what is it you see, nurse johnson? By all means, enlighten me.

[ Chuckles ] That you’re going through a lot right now. That it might even become overwhelming. So…if you ever need to talk it through… …consider me a safe space. Within reason. I should get going. Fine. I’ll let you go. But I’m not giving up. I will move heaven and earth to find who’s doing this to us. And when I do… we will be together again. Thank you. For not standing in my way. Anymore? Anymore. I just have one request. Wait for me. Spencer: I mean this sincerely. You — [ Chuckles ] You are, like, the poster child for upstanding sons.

[ Laughs ] Clearly, you have been away far too long. How do you figure? No, even for a short time, you and franco, you were like father and son.

[ Chuckles ] You had that bond. And maybe, uh — maybe I don’t deserve to have that kind of bond with my own father. Not after everything I’ve done. W-what does that mean? Spencer, what — what have you done? Epiphany. Am I good to go? Mm-hmm. Not bad for a member of the recently deceased.

[ Laughs ] I’ll go get your after-visit summary. All right. Thank you. Esme: Excuse me. Are you… sonny corinthos? Who’s asking? Thank goodness I found you. Things were simpler in nixon falls. Mike was actually happy there. Stop calling him that! No, but that’s who we was, carly! That’s who he wanted to be! He wasn’t consumed by ambition. He wasn’t riddled with guilt or regret. He wasn’t mourning the loss of a child to mob violence! -Don’t mention my son’s name! -No, no, no. Don’t you mention my son’s name! Stop! Hey! Let go of me! No. Come here! Come on! You need to leave! Oh, are you kidding me?! Fine. Get out. Tell wiley I’ll come back to see him. Oh, you’re never seeing him again! You will never see wiley again! You can never change the fact that I will always be his grandmother. You are nothing to him! Nothing! She threw morgan up in my face! Because she knows she lost. You got sonny back. She’s got nothing. Just let it go. I am going to burn nina’s life down and spit on her ashes.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jake: So you really think that chloe is philip’s achilles’ heel?

Gabi: You saw how crazed he got when he thought brady was moving in on her. And now we know victor wants chloe out of philip’s life.

Jake: Okay, so question is, how do we use that information to get philip out of titan?

Gabi: Not even sure. I can’t even think before I’ve had my coffee.

Jake: Why didn’t you have any before you left the house?

Gabi: Rafe wouldn’t let me.

Jake: Why not?

Gabi: Because he was punishing me for the way I was treating his stupid girlfriend.

Ava: You want me to help you bring down gabi hernandez?

Philip: Why do you seem so surprised?

Ava: Well, yesterday when I offered you help, you weren’t interested.

Philip: As I told you, I can’t fire gabi until I’m able to gain control of gabi chic.

Ava: It’s that valuable to you, huh?

Philip: As much as I hate to admit it, it’s become a very lucrative piece of titan.

Ava: So how would this partnership work?

Philip: You overheard gabi and jake plotting against me under this very roof, right? So you’re clearly in the perfect position to gather more intel. So what do you think?

Ava: I think you should go fly a kite.

Abigail: Oh, those are fancy.

Jack: Yes, yes, yes they are. I told thomas and charlotte I’d get some good ones. The last ones we took in the park were consumed by a voracious oak tree.

Abigail: They’ll love ’em. Did you–did you wanna stick around for a bit? I was going to make some tea.

Jack: Um, okay. That would–that would be–would be nice. Thank you.

Abigail: Great. You know, I was reading today’s “spectator.”

Jack: Oh, really? See anything interesting?

Abigail: Yes, actually. Couldn’t have been easy to run that article about xander being arrested on drug charges.

Jack: Especially since I know for a fact that he’s totally innocent.

Xander: You have a plan to get me out? What is it?

Gwen: More like seeds of a plan. Now we know that ej somehow got the judge in his pocket, right?

Xander: No question.

Gwen: Yeah. So we have to either prove their collusion, or– or we get our own leverage over judge smails.

Xander: How are we gonna do that?

Gwen: Ej tried to beat you up, yes?

Xander: Yeah but, you know, I got the better of him mostly. Wait, what’s that got to do with the judge? Do you think ej threatened him with bodily harm?

Gwen: I don’t know, but maybe we could.

Nicole: Ej dimera, are you seriously asking me on a date?

Ej: I can’t tell if this is good shocked or bad shocked.

Nicole: Do I need to remind you of our history? I think it has its own wiki page.

Ej: That was such a long time ago I hardly remember it.

Nicole: Well, I remember and I’m pretty sure you do too.

Ej: Well, I’d hoped you’d gotten past it. Will you at least give me the chance to redeem myself by taking you out to dinner tonight?

[Door opens]

Brady: Please tell me you’re too smart to say yes to that question.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ej: Lovely to see you, chloe.

Chloe: Hello, ej.

Brady: What the hell are you doing, ej?

Ej: What I do and with whom is really none of your concern.

Brady: Well, nicole is my friend so it is my concern if she’s in herself in a dangerous situation.

Nicole: Oh, I wouldn’t say– wouldn’t call it dangerous.

Brady: Really? How did it turn out last time you two were together, hmm?

Nicole: Not great.

Brady: Not great. Yeah, you’re lucky you survived it.

Nicole: Okay, it was a long time ago. We both made some bad choices.

Brady: You think he’s changed?

Ej: Oh, let’s stop dancing around what’s really happening here. What’s bothering brady is that back then he wanted you all to himself, but you chose me instead.

Abigail: Now, I know that xander is your friend. I’m sure he claims to be innocent.

Jack: He is innocent.

Abigail: Dad, you know as well as I do that you cannot take anything that man says at face value.

Jack: I didn’t state it clearly enough from my retraction at the op-ed, but I know for a fact that xander didn’t deal drugs.

Abigail: How?

Jack: Because he only confessed to it to protect your sister.

Abigail: Gwen? Are you telling me that gwen is the person who is dealing stolen opioids?

Jack: It’s complicated, but I have to say I’m grateful xander stepped in to protect her.

Abigail: But why would he do that?

Jack: Well, it–it seems there’s something going on between them.

Abigail: You mean something besides dealing drugs and lying to the police about it?

Jack: I get the sense there’s something romantic.

Abigail: Wow. There’s a match made somewhere other than heaven.

Xander: Physical intimidation has always been an arrow in my quiver but I’m kind of stuck in here for the time being, you know?

Gwen: I’m not.

Xander: Yeah, but gwen, I– I don’t know if I’d describe you as having a threatening physical presence.

Gwen: Look… I was accused of killing abigail’s grandmother. That might give judge smails pause.

Xander: I appreciate the offer but I think it’s probably better for you if we keep your nose clean for now, huh?

Gwen: [Sighs] What if I hired someone?

Xander: Hired someone to intimidate the judge?

Gwen: Yeah, yes. I could hire an independent contractor who’s willing to do bodily harm on his honor until he says that you’re not guilty.

Xander: Do you know someone like that?

Gwen: My ex, jake, he was in the mob. Might be willing do me a favor, you know, for old times’ sake.

Gabi: Bless you. I feel better already.

Jake: Glad to hear it. Can’t believe rafe would be cruel enough to deprive you of your caffeine.

Gabi: Oh, not only that. He made me to apologize to his princess mafia girlfriend.

Jake: Apologize for what?

Gabi: For nothing. I mean, yes, I did call her a bitch but that’s exactly what she is.

Jake: Ah, and knowing ava, I’m sure she said a few choice things back to you.

Gabi: Oh no, that’s the thing. In front of my brother, she’s all sweetness and understanding.

Jake: Which only makes you look like the bad guy.

Gabi: But I could see the murder in those beady eyes of hers–I know she hasn’t left the past behind her. Do you really believe her? Do you?

Jake: You saw first hand how hard it was for me to get out. Most people never make it out.

Gabi: Hey, you must’ve met a few professionals during that time, right?

Jake: Professional whats?

Gabi: You know, enforcers? Hitmen?

Jake: Why are you asking me this, gabi?

Gabi: Well I’m just asking if–if you knew someone that could… rub the bitch out?

Philip: I thought you hated gabi.

Ava: I do, but she is rafe’s sister.

Philip: He doesn’t have to know you’re working with me.

Ava: What do you want me to do? Wear a wire? Go through her underwear drawer?

Philip: Might not be a bad place to start. Maybe you’ll find evidence of the keylogging software she and jake put on my computer.

Ava: Seems like a stretch.

Philip: Honestly, I’ll take any skeleton in her closet. I’m sure she has plenty.

Ava: Maybe but gabi’s too smart to leave evidence lying around the house.

Philip: Then spy on them. You overheard them once, maybe you’ll hear something again.

Ava: It was a lucky break.

Philip: Are you really saying you won’t help me take her down?

Ava: No. Actually, upon further consideration, I’m saying what’s in it for me?

Brady: You think I’m jealous of something that happened another lifetime ago?

Ej: Why else would you care about me dating nicole?

Brady: Like I said, she’s my friend so I just wanna make sure you’re not taking advantage of her.

Ej: [Laughs] Can anyone really take advantage of nicole?

Brady: Is it just a coincidence that you’re swooping in here as her marriage to my brother ended? Aren’t you still married to sami by the way?

Ej: Not for long.

Chloe: Okay, maybe you should let nicole speak for herself, brady.

Nicole: Thank you, chloe.

Brady: You’re not seriously thinking about going out with this guy, are you?

Nicole: Brady, I appreciate your concern, but let’s not make a big deal out of this okay?

Brady: Have you forgotten what he’s capable of?

Nicole: No, I haven’t forgotten.

Ej: Maybe instead of worrying about nicole’s love life, you should focus on your own relationship.

Brady ah, well I’m not involved with anyone right now.

Ej: So you claim to my sister yet kristen felt compelled to break out of prison to keep you away from chloe.

Brady: Your sister at the time was out of her mind and paranoid.

Ej: Well, however you chose to see it, now that kristen’s out of your life, there’s nothing stopping you and chloe from being together.

Philip: So you’re open to negotiation?

Ava: I’m open.

Philip: Good, because I think we would learn some interesting things from you spying on gabi and jake.

Ava: Mm-mm. I have a better idea.

Philip: Okay.

Ava: Turns out that jake used to work for my family business. Turns out he did a lot of illegal stuff for them.

Philip: I like where this is going.

Ava: Now I was out of commission for a lot of the time jake was there. But my cousin angelo, he runs a tight ship and he’s obsessive about paperwork.

Philip: Are you saying that he might have evidence we could use against jake?

Ava: Oh, I guarantee it.

Philip: What kind of crimes are we talking about?

Ava: The kind jake would spend significant amount of time in jail for.

Philip: My favorite kind.

Ava: And if gabi’s boy-toy, we threaten with prison–

Philip: That would make her very, very sad.

Ava: Oh, yes, it would.

Philip: Maybe even sad enough that she’d betray gabi chic for his freedom.

Jake: Please tell me you didn’t just ask me to have ava vitali killed?

Gabi: I’m just tossing out a hypothetical.

Jake: Yeah, well toss it back in. Can’t even believe you said that out loud.

Gabi: Why are you so nervous?

Jake: Because you’re talking about killing ava vitali, a boss.

Gabi: I thought she’s wasn’t in the mob anymore.

Jake: She’s still a vitali and anyone who touches her would have an immediate target on their back. You’re gonna insight a mob war.

Gabi: Okay, okay, I get it.

Jake: I don’t think you do, gabi. Look, I came to salem to get out of that life okay? So I don’t want to think about my past with the vitalis or the crap that they had me do when I worked for them.

Gabi: Jake, have you ever killed someone?

Xander: As much as I enjoy the idea of a goon like jake roughing up that judge, do you–do you think he’d actually do it?

Gwen: Why not?

Xander: Well, he was the ceo of a large corporation. He’s gone legit, hasn’t he?

Gwen: Yeah, theoretically.

Xander: And I didn’t think you two ended on such good terms.

Gwen: That’s true. I wouldn’t put it past jake to flip on me and tell the honor that I hired him.

Xander: So this is just a really bad idea all the way around.

Gwen: I’m just spitballing ideas here, xander.

Xander: Let’s just dispense with the violence angle.

Gwen: We could bribe him.

> Xander: With what? I don’t have any money, neither do you. Although… dirt can be its own currency.

Gwen: We can dig up something to use as blackmail against him.

Xander: And everybody has vices. Maybe the judge has a gambling problem or he cheats on his wife or maybe he frequents prostitutes.

Gwen: [Gasps] Maybe he’d hire me.

Xander: [Laughs] Yeah right.

Gwen: What? No, seriously, I think we’re onto something here.

Xander: You’re gonna offer him your services as a hooker?

Jack: Let me be clear. Gwen was not a drug dealer. At least not willingly.

Abigail: So what, are you saying she was coerced?

Jack: The real kingpin was clay snyder, the doctor who treated her for her miscarriage.

Abigail: What? Hol–hold–hold on. Her doctor forced her to deal drugs. How?

Jack: Gwen and snyder had a history. He was using it to blackmail her.

Abigail: What kind of history are we talking about? I mean, what was he blackmailing her with? I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Brady: You know that I loved your sister very much.

Ej: Not enough to stand by her side.

Brady: I was with her the entire time she was in prison, ej and I took our commitment very seriously. But in the end, I couldn’t forgive her for hurting all those people that I cared about.

Ej: Like chloe here?

Brady: Yeah, like chloe there.

Nicole: Kristen tried to kill her.

Chloe: Twice.

Ej: Jealousy is a powerful emotion. I can understand how it could drive someone to do something rash.

Brady: Wow, you’re condoning what she did?

Ej: I’m simply saying sitting in prison imagining chloe cavorting with the man she loves, the father of her child–

Chloe: Okay, I’m sorry. I was not cavorting with brady then and we’re not cavorting now. I happen to be seeing philip kiriakis.

Ej: I see. So brady lost out again.

Chloe: No, it’s not like that.

Ej: Well, for what it’s worth I think you made the right choice. Provided you’re not sharing any corporate secrets with our competition.

Philip: What are you waiting for, get your cousin on the phone, let’s see what he’s got on old jakey. I hope it’s nice and felony-ish.

Ava: Okay, slow down, killer.

Philip: What’s the problem?

Ava: I told you the problem. I understand what you get out of this deal. You get gabi chic without the gabi part. But I’m not lifting a finger to help you until I get what I want out of the deal.

Philip: Okay. What is it that you want?

Jake: I was not a hitman if that’s what you’re asking.

Gabi: So you never killed anybody?

Jake: Why are we even talking about this?

Gabi: I made a joke about–

Jake: Was it gabi? Was it a joke?

Gabi: It was half a joke. Only you didn’t think it was funny.

Jake: There is nothing funny about working for the mob, okay? It’s a violent, scary, soul-sucking trap.

Gabi: I’ve seen the movies.

Jake: It’s nothing like the movies, okay?

Gabi: Well, then tell me what it was like. What exactly did you do for them?

Jake: I did my job, which was to make money for the family.

Gabi: How?

Jake: The bosses, they would make arrangements with local businesses, you know, for protection.

Gabi: Protection from what?

Jake: From us, basically. And I would enforce those arrangements.

Gabi: Meaning you would hurt them if they didn’t pay.

Jake: Look gabi, I did what I had to because I didn’t have a choice. But the entire time I was in, I was trying to get out.

Gabi: That’s why you stole that book with all the account numbers to force them to let you go.

Jake: That was the plan, until gwen stole it from me.

Gwen: This–this could work. This could work, xander! Especially since my dad thinks that I’m a happy hooker of philadelphia.

Xander: Stop saying hooker.

Gwen: You just said it.

Xander: I know, but I shouldn’t have, should I? In fact, I said that because I didn’t think you were serious about that.

Gwen: Okay, fine. Then we will go with sex worker then, shall we? Look, the point is, the point is–is when I give the judge a chance to sample my product, he won’t be able to resist.

Abigail: A sex worker? So–so gwen was a prostitute?

Jack: During a low point in her life. She needed money to keep from living on the streets and she made some bad choices.

Abigail: And so, what, dr. Snyder was one of her clients?

Jack: Yes, yes. They met when he at some medical convention in philadelphia. I’m sure she never expected to cross paths with him again.

Abigail: Mm-hmm. But then he was–he’s her doctor here in salem.

Jack: You can imagine how awful that was for her. The man threatened to expose her past right after she lost her baby.

Abigail: So all of this happened to gwen because of me?

Xander: So what exactly are you gonna say to this judge? “Oh, hello. I’m a sex worker. Would you like to hire me, please?”

Gwen: I don’t know. I haven’t thought about all the details yet.

Xander: What makes you think he’ll even go for it? Maybe he’s a boy scout or just really cheap.

Gwen: Well, it’s worth a try don’t you think? I offer him sex and in exchange, he dismisses your case.

Xander: Now, that is an offer that any man would have great difficulty refusing.

Gwen: Mm-hmm. Especially when I make it clear there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do to save my boyfriend.

Xander: Are you saying I’m your boyfriend?

Gwen: I don’t know, are you?

Xander: Yeah, I guess I am.

Gwen: That was nice. I would’ve much preferred a more romantic location, though, and you not in handcuffs. Well, actually you in handcuffs in bed would be very nice indeed.

Xander: You have no idea how badly I want to get out of here so I can be with you again.

Gwen: So it’s settled. We are going with operation: Seduce smails.

Xander: No, we are not.

Gwen: Why not?

Xander: Because I’m your boyfriend. I’m not just gonna let you shag some other man. When I heard about the science behind the new

Xander: It’s not gonna happen. I’m not gonna allow you to have sex with this judge just to save my sorry ass.

Gwen: Hello? I’m not actually gonna have sex with that old fossil, you dummy.

Xander: Wait, you aren’t? I–

Gwen: No. Of course not. Xander, I’m gonna go in there with a recorder. I’m gonna get smails to agree to the trade and bam, we’ve got him. He either throws out your case or he loses his job.

Xander: Ohh, yeah. That makes a lot more sense.

Gwen: Yeah. So it’s a plan, yeah?

Xander: Absolutely not.

Jack: Snyder blackmailing gwen was not your fault, sweetheart.

Abigail: Yeah, but if we hadn’t been fighting–

Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold it right there. Just stop. There’s only one villain in this story and he’s dead.

Abigail: You know, I went to go see gwen yesterday.

Jack: You did?

Abigail: Mm-hmm. Just to apologize for everything that happened.

Jack: That couldn’t have been easy for you.

Abigail: No, but it was the right thing to do.

Jack: How did it go?

Abigail: Gwen and i are never gonna be close. I am never gonna forget that she tried to destroy my family and my marriage. However, she didn’t deserve to lose her baby.

Jack: She knows it was an accident. You didn’t mean for it to happen.

Abigail: Still… it happened.

Jack: Did she accept your apology?

Abigail: She did, yeah. Just not sure that I can forgive myself.

Philip: You want a job at titan?

Ava: I think we already talked about that.

Philip: Then you know that my father still blames you for forcing me to launder money, nearly getting me killed in the process.

Ava: Ah, you could talk to him.

Philip: He would never go for it.

Ava: What about at one of your subsidiaries? I mean, would he even have to know I was there?

Philip: Sounds like you have something specific in mind.

Ava: You could say that.

Philip: Well, don’t be coy. Out with it.

Ava: Okay. If you want my help, you’re gonna have to put me in charge of gabi chic.

Philip: You want to run gabi chic?

Ava; oh, I do. But we are gonna have to do something about that name. What do you think of… ava chic?

Nicole: Chloe would not share corporate secrets with philip or anyone and brady knows that.

Brady: Not that I wouldn’t put it past philip trying to get it out of her.

Chloe: He can try whatever he wants, he already offered me a job at titan and i turned him down.

Ej: Why not work with your boyfriend?

Chloe: Because I like my job here. I feel valued. Or at least I did until this conversation.

Ej: If nicole values you, then so do I. I’m sorry for questioning your loyalty.

Chloe: Thank you. Now if you’ll excuse us, brady and I have a meeting.

Ej: Nothing else to say, brady?

Brady: No, I think I’ve said everything I have to say. Nicole, I hope you decide to listen.

Nicole: Well, that escalated quickly.

Ej: Who is brady to tell you who you should or should not date?

Nicole: Well, like he said, he’s just a concerned friend. And to be honest, I’m a little concerned, too.

>>Ej: Look, I’m not going to deny that we did hideous things to each other back then. But that shouldn’t get in the way of us enjoying a lovely evening together now, should it? I’ve seen how cancer can affect

Jake: I stole that book so that I could get away from the violence for good.

Gabi: And you have done that.

Jake: I’d like to think so, but gabi, the mob will play the long game. So if they suddenly decide that I am useful to them again.

Gabi: You know, let’s not think about that because we’ve got so much going for us.

Jake: Yes, we do.

Gabi: Although I did just get an idea, I mean, if there was some way to connect ava to a crime, one she was never charged with, we could use it against her.

Jake: I don’t know, gabi. Digging back into that world feels like tempting fate.

Philip: I understand why you’d want to run gabi chic, but I can’t risk you running it into the ground.

Ava: A word of advice– don’t underestimate me. I ran my own corporation and I was the head of another business that’s a lot less welcoming to lady bosses than the fashion industry.

Philip: Yeah, I don’t think i can make that pitch to the board members nor my father.

Ava: Fine. It is your choice. But unless you agree to my terms, I’m not helping you. And without me, you don’t get the dirt you need on jake and gabi maintains control of gabi chic.

Philip: Why does it feel like you’re blackmailing me again?

Ava: No. No, I’m just countering your offer. What’s your answer?

Philip: Okay. Fine. Ava chic it is.

Nicole: Ej, I– I don’t know if I’m ready for this.

Ej: Not ready to date, or you’re not ready to date me?

Nicole: Both.

Ej: Your marriage is over.

Nicole: Yes.

Ej: And didn’t you just tell me you were trying to put your feelings for rafe behind you?

Nicole: This isn’t about rafe or–or eric. Okay, maybe it is a little bit but–

Ej: Look, the way I see it, there’s no better way to move forward than to share the company of a man who enjoys sharing your company.

Nicole: Well, I’m just having a really hard time trusting you and your motives.

Ej: What possible ulterior motives could I have?

Nicole: Oh, I don’t know, ej, do you really want to go out with me or is it just your way for you to sticking it to sami?

Abigail: [Sighs] I just–I knew gwen was pregnant when I fought with her, and I should have been more careful.

Jack: Sweetheart, stop it right there. You didn’t start the fight. She seduced your husband and her resulting pregnancy was a threat to your marriage.

Abigail: But I was out of control, I was actually trying to hurt her, dad.

Jack: Just stop, please. Please, take it from someone who has made more mistakes in his life than you ever will. You can’t change what happened. You can only commit to growing and learning so that it doesn’t happen again.

Abigail: You never did what I did.

Jack: Are you– are you kidding? Just in our little family, how many times have I hurt you, hurt your mother, hurt jj? And yet, you always found it in your heart to forgive me.

Abigail: Because we love you.

Jack: And I’m grateful for that every single day. But I’ve also learned to live with my regrets and to not let them wreck me. Sweetheart, abigail, it is time for you to forgive yourself. Oh, sweetheart, you and gwen both need to forgive yourselves.

Gwen: You didn’t like my physical violence plan. You didn’t like the sex angle plan and now, you don’t like this current plan.

Xander: It’s too dangerous. What–what if you offer this judge sex and he decides to take it whether you want it or not?

Gwen: It won’t happen.

Xander: Gwen–

Gwen: Xander. Please let me help you.

Xander: Not like this.

Gwen: How many risks have you taken for me? Hmm? You disposed of a dead body, didn’t you? You confessed to drug dealing and you’re facing prison. Now, it’s my turn to take some risks for you.

Woo! You are busy…

Abigail: You know, there is just–there’s one thing that bothers me about what happened between gwen and snyder.

Jack: What’s that?

Abigail: I totally understand her not wanting people to know that she’s a sex worker. However, keeping that a secret by becoming a drug mule instead.

Jack: Who knows what people do when they’re desperate?

Abigail: You’re right. Yes, but I just think if it were me, I would have rather told the truth than commit more crimes.

Xander: I can’t tell you what it means that you’re willing to do this for me.

Gwen: We’re in this together now, xander.

Xander: Yeah, I just wish we had a better plan.

Gwen: Yeah, but there is no better plan. You’re facing years in prison because of me. Because I was afraid to tell my father that I lied about my miscarriage.

Xander: I have no regrets. I’d never want you to lose him.

Gwen: But now I could lose you. I grew up without a father. I lost my mom to a drug overdose. I thought that I loved jake, but that was a very, very unhealthy relationship. And you– you are the first man that actually means something to me. So I will be damned if I let you go to prison.

Ava: Hey, angelo. It’s me. How are things going in philly, cuz? Listen, I need some information on a former friend of ours. He used to go by the name of jake lambert. Now he calls himself jake dimera. Give me a call.

Gabi: You’re right. I don’t want to look back on that dark past. Let’s just count our blessings that the mob let you go and that we’re both safe.

Jake: And part of a very legitimate business. Oh, don’t we have that meeting with that new distributor this afternoon?

Gabi: Oh, yeah. I’ve been so caught up with the whole ava thing I forgot to tell you it got rescheduled.

Jake: Oh. Well, should we go back to the office or–

Gabi: I wanna focus on how we use philip’s jealousy of brady to oust him from titan.

Jake: We can’t really do that with him working down the hall.

Gabi: Exactly. So let’s just go to my house.

Jake: And if ava’s there?

Gabi: To hell with her. I don’t care. If she doesn’t wanna see me, I-I really don’t care. Let’s just go home.

Jake: Come here.

Gabi: What’s this?

Jake: I just want you to know how grateful I am for you. And I’m never gonna stop trying to make you happy.

Gabi: You’ve already done that.

Ej: Why would me dating you have anything to do with samantha?

Nicole: Oh come on, ej. Sami hates me and knowing that we went out on a date would drive her insane. Well, more insane.

Ej: I suppose it would. But why would that bother you?

Nicole: Because I don’t want to be a pawn in some sick game of revenge.

Ej: Oh you’d hardly be a pawn. She destroyed your marriage, exposed your infidelity knowing all along that she was sleeping with lucas. Don’t tell me that you wouldn’t want to stick it to samantha as much as I would. In life there are people who,

Xander: So I guess you’re telling me… you think we have a future?

Gwen: Does that scare you?

Xander: A little.

Gwen: Why?

Xander: Because I want it so much. I didn’t think I’d ever be in another relationship after sarah dumped me. Didn’t think anyone else would have me.

Gwen: Well, I guess I’m not anybody else.

Xander: No, you certainly are not. The rest of salem is probably hoping that I get locked up for decades just for ruining nicole’s marriage.

Gwen: I did the same thing to abigail’S. Look at us. We’re the town pariahs. I suppose it makes sense that we’re together.

Xander: You and I, we– we make a lot of sense.

Gwen: Right, then. It’s settled. I will get the goods on the judge, he’ll throw out your case again. And you can tell ej dimera to go to hell.

Nicole: Well, sami left town. Maybe she won’t find out that we went out on a date.

Ej: Oh, I’m quite sure she would find out.

Nicole: Well then, fine, let’s do it.

Ej: Wonderful.

Nicole: Yeah.

Ej: I’ll pick you up at 8:00.

Brady: Wonderful, huh?

Ej: Brady, chloe, I didn’t hear you come back in.

Chloe: Sounds like we didn’t miss much.

Ej: Perhaps we can double date sometime, you and philip. I mean, sorry, brady. You’re the odd man out. See you at 8:00.

Brady: When this blows up in your face, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Ava: You staring at my phone isn’t going to make it ring.

Philip: When do you think your cousin is gonna call you back?

Ava: Angelo usually plays bocce with the crew today. Don’t worry. He’ll call soon.

Gabi: I hope she hasn’t stunk up the kitchen with garlic again.

Jake: I kinda like the smell of garlic. Don’t detect garlic. Smells more like aftershave.

Gabi: And not rafe’s but it does seem familiar.

Jake: Huh.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat music ]

Carter: I should’ve stopped justin.

Quinn: Why couldn’t ridge just leave it alone? Sending justin after me. I mean, how did he even get in here!

Carter: If we didn’t convince justin to keep quiet, this is going to be a disaster.

Quinn: Carter, we told him everything.

Carter: Right now, he could be sharing all of that with ridge.

Ridge: How much do you know about eric’s marriage?

Justin: How much do I know?

Ridge: Quinn betrayed him and I’m not gonna let that happen again.

Justin: I get that, but when you ask him, like what does he say?

Ridge: He says nothing! That’s why I asked you to follow quinn. So, where did she go?

Justin: You’re not gonna like iT.

Ridge: Justin! I don’t like any of this. I don’t like what it’s doingto my father. I want this woman out of his life, but I can’t do that unless I have some proof. So, what do we have? Is she betraying my father or no?

Katie: You don’t have to treat me like a guest. We’ve known each other too long for that.

Eric: I actually enjoy playing host. Especially to you.

Katie: Well, thank you for the invite.

Eric: You’re good company, katie.

Katie: Well, you’re not so bad yourself. I’m just sorry that you feel like you need company.

Eric: Katie, we agreed.

Katie: I know, I know. No talk of quinn.

Eric: Yeah, or our relationships.

Katie: No. No relationship, marriage talk at all.

Eric: Thank you very much.

[ Laughing ] Except I’m wildly curious about yours. How’s everything with you and bill?

Katie: You wanna know about my relationship with bill?

Eric: You’ve been very worried about me being alone, here. But I’ve been surprised to know that you’re alone next door.

Katie: Yeah, yeah. Will is at boarding school, and I just… it devastates me. Like I miss him so much. Like I can’t even talk about it or I’ll start crying, but, you know, he wanted to go so badly and it’s such a good school, and it just… it floors me how independent he is sometimes. It’s been rough having bill in jail. It was just… it was really, really hard.

Eric: It’s been hard for everybody in this family. You’re right.

Katie: Bill was just so reckless. And I tried to shield will, but, you know, it’s just a lot for a kid his age.

Eric: It’s a lot for you too. You were considering reconciling with bill before all this happened, right?

Katie: Yeah, we were.

Eric: So, you still see a future with him?

Quinn: How did this get all so out of hand? Justin could be telling ridge everything right now about our arrangement. About eric’s ed!

Carter: What was ridge even thinking? Hiring bill spencer’s henchman to spy on us.

Quinn: Not on us, on me! Me. Quinn, the wrecking ball.

Carter: Stop.

Quinn: No! No, eric could’ve been done with me. He didn’t have to let me back into his life. He didn’t have to give us permission to be together so I wouldn’t have to give up that intimate part of my life.

Carter: And we made justin understand that.

Quinn: Did we? There’s no telling what he might do.

Ridge: Justin, we had a deal.

Justin: I did what you told me to do.

Ridge: You’re not doing it now. I’m asking you a question, answer me. What is going on? What is quinn doing? Is she abusing my father or not?

Brooke: What’s going on?

Ridge: That’s what I’m trying to find out.

Brooke: Did you uncover something about quinn?

Brooke: Justin, we know the kind of person she is, so anything you tell us, it’s not gonna surprise us.

Quinn: If this gets out can you imagine what this is gonna do to eric? Please, that’s why you can’t say anything. That’s why you have to keep this secret to yourself.

Brooke: If you found out something about quinn, you need to tell us.

Brushing only reaches

25% of your mouth.

Katie: Sometimes I feel like I’m caught in this endless loop.

Eric: Because you feel like bill keeps pulling you back in?

Katie: Or maybe I’m just too stubborn to let go. I’ve told myself that… I keep holding on because of will. You know, I wanna give him the family that he deserves. The family that I promised him. But I think a lot of it’s about me. I just… I remember, I remember who we were when we first met. And what we used to mean to each other before brooke, before all those insecurities and doubts crept in.

Eric: Well, you shouldn’t feel insecure about yourself. You know, you’re an incredible woman. You really are.

Katie: Thank you, that’s lovely to hear from you. And I’m not fishing. I’m really not.

[ Laughing ] Because the truth is, I will never really be able to forget that the man I gave my heart to gave his heart to someone else. And… I’ve heard him say that brooke is the love of his life.

Eric: I’ve heard him say similar things about you.

Katie: Yeah, I have to. And I believed him. I believe it when he says them. I do. But, I just always have to wonder if he had the choice, would he choose me? And I hate that question. I hate that that question even enters into my mind when I’m with him. Because it’s something that I have tried to fight through. And I’ve have to work on, and honestly, the real question that I should be asking myself is… don’t I deserve to be the love of someone’s life? Don’t I deserve to be loved like that? I don’t want to be the runner up.

Eric: You don’t have to be katie, you never should have to be. Bill should absolutely give you the respect and the acceptance that you deserve.

Katie: He says I make him a better man.

Eric: Katie, he adores his children and his grandchildren.

Katie: He does, but bill, there’s never any moderation. It is always the extreme. Even how he protects his family. And he says that he does everything for his boys, and for his family, and everything he does is for them, but you know what? It’s not. It’s for himself. He feels like the only way to show strength, is to be unflinching. Never show any weakness. And I just don’t buy that. I don’T. I feel strongest when I’m surrounded by people I love, and who care for me. And who I can trust enough to show my weaknesses to. Because I know that they’ll be there for me, and they’ll sit next to me, and they’ll hold my hand. I mean, like my sisters, and like you. Gosh, no matter how much I try to explain that to him, he just–he doesn’t get it.

Eric: So, you don’t feel that he’s ever been listening. You don’t feel you’ve ever been heard by bill?

Katie: I think bill hears what he wants to hear. And sometimes I don’t think we speak the same language.

Eric: I’ve had the same trouble in my marriage too.

Katie: But unlike bill, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for your wife.

Quinn: We were gonna stop, carter.

Carter: We did stop.

Quinn: But eric pushed us back together.

Carter: He encouraged it.

Quinn: Ridge is never gonna see it that way. He’s never gonna understand why eric did what he did. He’s never gonna see eric’s unconditional love and faith in our marriage.

Carter: Coming from justin, you saw the way he reacted.

Quinn: He could twist this a million different ways.

Carter: And none of them good.

Justin: You wanted to know if quinn was playing games. Doing things that eric didn’t know about.

Ridge: Tell me where she’s running off to.

Brooke: And why eric’s spending so much time alone.

Ridge: Where’d she go?

Justin: She left the office, she drove to the beach. The way she was acting, I thought you had it all wrong. She wasn’t being evasive. She parked out front. Hell, when she went inside, they didn’t even shut the shades.

Brooke: They? You mean she was with somebody?

Justin: It wasn’t just anyone. I caught them together. She went to carter’s place. Lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.

Eric: Katie, I want you to be able to tell me anything you need to tell me about you and bill. I want to be there for you the same way you’ve been there for me.

Katie: I’m conflicted.

Eric: I see that.

Katie: He loves our son and will adores him. Looks up to him. Honestly, he’s not the kind of man that I thought that I would end up with at all. I mean, that’s part of the attraction is the fact that he is so volatile and dangerous. And that can be exciting and romantic. But it can also be terrifying and I thought that if I loved him enough, then I could smooth out the rough edges.

Eric: Yeah.

Katie: But at the end of the day, bill is who he is. And he likes who he is. He likes sitting behind the desk and intimidating everyone and barking out orders. And he can be passionate but he can also be vengeful. For a while I thought I could change him. It’s silly of me, maybe I don’t even have that right. Because I don’t think that people really change for other people. I think that you have to change for yourself. And I don’t think that bill wants to change and I don’t think he would change for me.

Eric: Well, then he’s a damn fool. A man of substance will do anything he can to give the woman he loves what she needs. And the life she needs, no matter how much it costs him. I don’t think bill is willing to do that for you. And if he’s not, then– look, he’s not giving you any of the respect and the acceptance that you deserve. He’s not.

Katie: He does love me. I know he does.

Eric: Enough to give you the life that you deserve?

Katie: Is being alone better?

[ Sighing ]

Eric: Well, you mustn’t reconcile with bill just because you don’t want to be alone.

Katie: Isn’t that what you’re doing with quinn? I mean, I’m sorry. I know, we’re not allowed to talk about your marriage, or quinn. But–I feel the same way about her that you feel about bill. I don’t trust her, I don’t feel like she treats you the way that you deserve to be treated. I mean, here you are, this beautiful, beautiful human being, just standing in front of her, wanting to love her. And, where is she?

Quinn: I should go home. Or I should call eric. I need to warn him that justin could blow all of this up.

Ridge: You sure? You saw quinn at carter’s place?

Brooke: You actually saw them together?

Ridge: What happened?

Justin: They were in the bedroom.

Brooke: I knew it! I knew quinn couldn’t be faithful to eric.

Ridge: What happened?

Justin: Well, I followed her to carter’s place. She pulled up, walked in, and I made my way up to carter’s bedroom window. And they were all over each other.

Brooke: Ugh! He never should’ve taken her back.

Ridge: And either way you confronted them?

Justin: Yeah, I mean, I thought interrupting them was what you wanted before–

Ridge: What I want is that woman out of his life today.

Brooke: Once eric finds out what she’s up to, she will be.

Ridge: How does carter do that? Why? He’s gonna throw away his family? His career? All for quinn?

Justin: They begged me not to tell you what I saw.

Brooke: We told eric to cut her loose. But he wanted to give her one more chance. And now what? She’s back in carter’s bed?

Ridge: This doesn’t make sense to me.

Ridge: That’s not the carter I know. He made a mistake. But he wouldn’t do it again. There’s no way.

Justin: They said it wasn’t cheating. That it was okay.

Brooke: What? No, of course it was cheating. Quinn is married.

Justin: Well, no. They said it wasn’t like that. They could explain.

Ridge: Explain? They can explain it to me.

Justin: Whoa, hold on, ridge. I haven’t told you everything.

Ridge: Let ’em tell it to me.

Brooke: I’m coming with you.

Ridge: You did a good job today. You did a good job for this family. Come on. I’ve been telling everyone…

Katie: Eric, I am your friend. Please tell me what’s going on with you.

Eric: Look, katie, I appreciate how… how open and honest you’ve been with me.

Katie: It’s because we trust each other. We’ve always trusted each other. I’m just trying to understand. Quinn has this beautiful, loving, charming husband. How could she not be satisfied?

Eric: She is. She is satisfied more than ever.

Katie: Well, then where is she? Why don’t you want to tell me?

Eric: I do, katie. I do. But I… I’ve done something, katie. Uh, I’ve done something that I don’t think anyone’s really gonna understand. Most especially you, I think.

Katie: I would never judge you, never.

Eric: I know. But if you… if you do, I’ll understand. When quinn and I got back together, I wanted it to be everything it had been before. But it couldn’t be. I couldn’t, uh… it wasn’t the same. It couldn’t be and so I made a choice, I made a decision, and um… I want to tell you the truth. I want to tell you the truth about quinn and me. And carter.

Quinn: I don’t want eric to be blindsided by this.

Carter: We would’ve known by now if justin told ridge.

Quinn: Or ridge could be grilling eric right now as we speak.

Carter: And that’s why eric didn’t want anyone to know. One person finds out, and the entire family’s questioning his judgment.

Quinn: Or they could be questioning ours. I mean, aren’t you?

Carter: We haven’t done anything wrong.

Quinn: Yeah, I know. I was telling myself that too, and then justin walked in on us and I’m still trying to convince myself of it.

Carter: ‘Cause you saw his reaction?

Quinn: Look what this is gonna do to eric when his secret gets out. I mean, this is going to hurt him and I don’t want that to happen, he’s my husband!

Carter: You love him.

Quinn: Of course, I love him. And I love you!

Carter: I love you too. Enough to accept another man’s ridiculous terms to be with you, quinn. But I love you way too much to put you in a situation you might regret.

[ Knocking ]

Ridge: Carter, quinn, open up. We know you’re in there.

[ Knocking ]

Brooke: How dare you?

Ridge: Again?

Quinn: We don’t expect you to understand.

Brooke: You took eric’s forgiveness and you threw it right back in his face. How dare you betray him again?

Quinn: We’re not betraying him!

Ridge: How do you have the audacity to say that?

Carter: Because it’s true.

Ridge: Huh? What? So, you’re not sleeping together?

Quinn: Not behind eric’s back. We’re not lying to him. Eric knows, ridge. He knows.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

It’s just what is in my heart, but I — I’d hate to think that it would in any way get in the way of things with you and nick. Was nick okay?

Phyllis: Yeah. Yeah, he was okay. Um, he’s actually out of town right now. He’s, uh…doing a couple things before victoria’s wedding.

Jack: Oh, what seems to be the problem?

Phyllis: Oh, there’s no problem. Not at all. I think he’s just trying to surprise victoria with something, but that’s the thing is, um, I don’t know if he’ll be back in genoa city before we take off to go to milan, and he may just have to meet us there, fly from new jersey. He’s in new jersey.

Jack: If that happens, it would be just you and me on the jet.

Phyllis: Well, traci’s coming, right?

Jack: Traci is going to new york to meet with her agent now, so you and I would be flying to milan alone. Are you comfortable with that? You don’t get much time for yourself.

Phyllis: There is no situation in the world with you that would make me uncomfortable. I’d love to share a flight with you.

Jack: Good, I’m glad to hear that.

Phyllis: Yes, and by the way, I want to apologize for being suspicious regarding your intentions toward nick. I just — you just wanted to be honest.

Victoria: Hey.

Phyllis: Oh, hi.

Victoria: I was wondering if you had heard from nick.

Jack: Uh, you know, I’m gonna take that as my cue. I’m gonna keep moving. Um, nice to see you, victoria. Stay in touch with your travel plans.

Phyllis: Will do.

Victoria: I just heard that nick took the jet to new jersey. I want to know why.

Faith: Okay, you’re right. I haven’t been honest about why I’m backing out of our date. I’m sorry. I’m so embarrassed that I let this happen. I’m dying to go. I love spending time with you. And I feel awful that you spent all this time planning, but

[Sighs] I’ve fallen behind on my schoolwork.

Moses: Okay. Like, how behind?

Faith: Like, really behind. It was originally only a few classes, but then i procrastinated a couple of other assignments and now I have work due for practically every class.

Moses: Well, could you knock some of it out this afternoon and then finish the rest over the next few days?

Faith: [ Sighs ] I probably could’ve, but the school called my mom, so now…

Moses: I get it. Yeah, you can’t go on our date ’cause you need to finish your work.

Faith: This is all my fault. I don’t know how I got so behind. I feel terrible that I messed this up.

Moses: No, don’t blame yourself, when, actually, I’m to blame.

Faith: How could any of this possibly be your fault when I’m the one who has to finish three essays, a week of math, and a history project by tomorrow?

Moses: Because I’ve been the one who’s been keeping you from your work.

Faith: Yeah. Unfortunately, that’s what my mom thinks. That’s why I can’t go out with you until I’m all caught up. There’s just so much work. And I have a lot of it written down in my notebook, but it’s gonna take me hours just to type it all in. I may be a whiz at texting, but I am slow on a regular keyboard. I feel awful. I should’ve stayed on top of it. I’m sorry that I ruined everything.

Moses: No, you haven’T. And I may have a solution.

Adam: Thank you.

Jack: Adam.

Adam: Hey, jack.

Jack: Hey, I’ve just been thinking of you. I read a very complimentary article about you and newman media.

Adam: Well, I have to admit, it is nice to get a little good press. It’s a welcome change of pace.

Jack: I’m sure it is. Well, the article said the expansion’s going very well, and — how did they put it? — It is a business renaissance for adam newman.

Adam: Just a fancy way of saying I’ve gotten a do-over.

Jack: Well, fancy or not, it sounds like you’re turning things around, and I couldn’t be happier for you.

Adam: Well, connor is definitely one source of my inspiration. He makes me want to be a better man, so having him living with me again, it’s a daily reminder of that.

Jack: Isn’t it amazing how our kids can inspire us in great and unexpected ways?

Adam: Grateful for it every day.

Jack: Hey, speaking of family, are you going to be in tuscany for victoria’s big day?

Adam: It’s actually funny you should ask because I got an invitation today, but I’m sure it’s a mistake. Her wedding planner probably just sent out an invitation to everybody in the newman address book, so… victoria’s made it clear that i am persona non grata in italy.

Phyllis: I don’t have an answer for you. Nick is doing new hope business.

Victoria: Except that new hope doesn’t have any business in new jersey, at least not that I know of. But we both know who does. That’s where ashland got his start. Does this have anything to do with him?

Phyllis: Why are you suddenly suspicious of your brother? I mean, all he wants is the best for you and he wants you to be happy.

Victoria: There are a lot of people claiming to have my best interests at heart who are also trying to dig up dirt on ashland and make my — admittedly — whirlwind wedding even more stressful, and that includes my brother.

Phyllis: Wow, you know, don’t take this the wrong way, but isn’t this what they call, um, like, transference? You know, with everything that’s gone on, maybe what you’re doing is trying to push suspicion and target it somewhere else instead of the place it should be, which is on ashland, not your brother.

Victoria: That is ridiculous. But thank you so much for your dime-store psychoanalysis. I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Lauren: Oh, my goodness, I am so sorry I’m late. I have a team of seamstresses hand-sewing the dress, and i literally had to pry it out of their hands.

Victoria: Thank you so much for coming over personally with it.

Lauren: Well, of course! I’m so excited to be involved. Oh, my goodness, this is going to be the dress of the season.

Victoria: Oh, I hope so.

Lauren: One of my favorite fashion designers has completely outdone herself. It is like nothing I have ever seen. I think you’re gonna love it.

Victoria: Well, I’ve only glimpsed at the sketches, but i think they look great.

Lauren: Well, then let’s see it on you, shall we? I’ve reserved a room upstairs for the fitting.

Phyllis: Here’s your key card. Room 600.

Lauren: Thank you.

Phyllis: You’re welcome. To be honest, I’m a little jealous. I only got to help summer with her dress through video chats, you know, so… anyway, I guess working for marchetti gets an embarrassment of riches. But I’m sure yours will look fine, too.

Victoria: And I’m sure that summer’s dress will be stunning.

Phyllis: Oh, I’m sure! If you want another set of eyes, I’m here.

Victoria: I’m sorry, phyllis. You haven’t exactly achieved bridesmaid status yet.

Phyllis: Well, okay. Room 600. Um, excuse me. I’m sorry, when are you gonna get this? You are not welcome at the grand phoenix ever.

Sally: Well, when are you gonna get that I am not going anywhere. I’m a part of this town, so get used to it.

Jack: You know, I’m not sure you should look at that wedding invitation as a mistake. Wedding’s have a funny way of bringing families together. Maybe victoria is impressed that you’ve turned over a new leaf.

Adam: As much as I am trying to be a better person, I don’t think victoria’s ready to accept me as a brother that she could love.

Jack: Well, perhaps your showing up at the wedding could go a long way toward making her understand you care.

Adam: Not sure that’ll work. Besides, I shouldn’t be away from connor for that long, and i don’t want to take him out of school. He’s just starting to get acclimated to walnut grove after being at boarding school. I don’t want to do anything to disrupt that.

Jack: Okay, I’m sure there are lots of things you need to consider. I’m sure you’ll do the right thing for connor and for yourself.

Adam: Trying my best.

Faith: I can’t imagine what solution you could have that would help me finish this amount of schoolwork, unless it involves stopping time.

Moses: We’ll do it together, and then we’ll get it done twice as fast.

Faith: Hmm. I appreciate the offer, but i can’t see how two people doing schoolwork together could cut the time in half.

Moses: Well, I’ve already done my homework.

Faith: Okay, but —

Moses: So that frees me up to help you. It’ll be two people tackling one mountain of work, and by my calculation, we’ll get it done in half the time.

Faith: Okay, but wouldn’t that be, like, cheating?

Moses: You said you had most of it written in your notebook already and you’re just a slow typist. It so happens that I’m wickedly fast on the keyboard, so I’ll just be transcribing what you’ve already done.

Faith: Then that wouldn’t be cheating. It’d be helping.

Moses: Exactly.

Phyllis: Sally, you’re standing in my hotel. Mine. Please, don’t make me get security to throw you out.

Sally: Oh. You want to cause a scene? Or should I say yet another scene at the grand phoenix? Let me just make sure that I get this one on video, so, uh…go aheaD.

Chloe: There you are. Oh, hi. I wanted sally to meet me here, and I am thrilled that you are here, too.

Phyllis: Well, that makes one of us.

Chloe: Let me change your mind. Sally and I came here because we have a business proposal for you.

Phyllis: I don’t have anything on my calendar.

Chloe: Well, we didn’t try to get an appointment because we knew you would say no.

Phyllis: Well, you have that right. Why would I do business with the very person who drove my daughter out of the country?

Sally: Oh, for pete’s sake, when are you gonna let that go? If summer really was that miserable in milan, she and kyle would’ve come back. The fact that she’s still there means one of two things — either she loves working at marchetti so much that she doesn’t want to leave or she just secretly hates being around you and she’s willing to move a thousand miles away to avoid running into you.

Chloe: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Sally — mnh-mnh. Okay, so she is clearly very passionate, which is exactly the kind of focus and energy that we want to put into our shoot that we want to do here.

Sally: The spread is for the new fashion platform, and it’s all about beauty, drama, and high style.

Chloe: Just picture the most stunning models in gorgeous fashion. We have an incredible photographer, a great stylist. It is such a win for our site and great publicity for the grand phoenix.

Phyllis: Well, you have that right. That’s a great idea. It really is. Spectacular, actually. Um…I love it. Fire her, and I’ll do it. Plaque psoriasis, the tightness, stinging…

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Lauren: Oh. Wow. Now, remember, it’s not finished yet, but it’s fabulous. I mean, what do you think?

Victoria: I, um…I think it’s very pretty, but it’s not exactly what I pictured when i looked at the sketches.

Lauren: Oh. Okay. I mean, I understand how certain design elements don’t translate, but, you know, the fit is a little off. Um…let’s take it in in the bodice and, you know, adjust the pleats in front. Now, did you bring your shoes so we can hem it?

Victoria: No, I forgot.

Lauren: Oh, no problem. No problem. And I know we didn’t talk about a veil yet or headpieces, but don’t worry, I brought you a lot of options.

Victoria: Listen, lauren, it’s not your fault and it’s not the designer’s fault. I think that I’m just putting incredibly high standards on people because I have such high expectations for this wedding. I really, really want it to be something spectacular.

Lauren: And it will be. You deserve that, and I’m going to help you. We are going to fix this dress, and it will be worthy of the occasion. Don’t worry. We have the time.

Victoria: Yes, I know, I keep telling myself that, but…the day is just — it’s coming so soon and there’s just so much to do.

Lauren: I hear you. Could you give us a moment? Thank you. Are you sure the dress is the only thing that’s bothering you?

Victoria: Yes. Really.

Lauren: You know, I have helped a lot of powerful women design their dream gown, and when the garment doesn’t live up to their expectation, there’s usually a full-on freak-out by now.

Victoria: So my reaction wasn’t bridezilla enough for you?

Lauren: [ Laughs ] Wasn’t even baby-zilla.

[ Both laugh ] Look, you have a lot on your mind right now. It’s okay to take it out on the dress.

Victoria: Lauren, everything is fine.

Chloe: You really need to learn to keep a lid on iT.

Sally: I’m sorry. Phyllis just gets under my skin.

Chloe: Well, we came here to get something from her, and going after her like that just ensured that we failed.

Sally: Okay, but we might not have failed on all fronts.

Chloe: But we didn’t get the location for our shoot, so what other fronts are there?

Sally: Well, right before you got here, lauren and victoria went upstairs. There was a woman carrying a garment bag. How much you want to bet that that was victoria’s wedding gown?

Chloe: Yeah, that’s a pretty good theory, but I also assume that victoria turned you down when you offered to make her her dress.

Sally: I actually never got the chance to make the offer. I couldn’t set up a meeting. The woman turned me down three times, or rather, her assistant did.

Chloe: It was a one in a million shot anyway. Let it go.

Sally: I’m not giving up yet.

Chloe: You just said that you saw victoria going upstairs for a fitting. It sounds like the princess already got her gown.

Sally: Okay, well, letting things go is not how I’ve gotten where I am.

Chloe: Where you are? You have alienated half of genoa city. Your tainted reputation is going to take a very long time to repair.

Sally: Well, I may be able to quicken the pace if I offer victoria a wedding dress as a gift — and not just any wedding dress, but a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that will have everyone talking.

Chloe: I don’t think you trying to insinuate yourself into victoria newman’s wedding plans is the best strategy. It could very well blow up in your face and make things worse for you.

Moses: Alright. Let’s do this.

Faith: Okay, let me find my spot. “When it was lunchtime, we finished our dish, then we were given a huge bag to take home and a basket, as well. These two items that were given to us by the farmer and the rest of the people. Ms. Willington was being awed during the explanation the farmer gave us.”

[ Both laugh ] What’s another word for inflexible?

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god, we did it.

Moses: We sure did.

Faith: I never could’ve done it without your help. Even if we don’t do anything else tonight, this was the best date ever.

Moses: [ Chuckles ] You’re setting the bar pretty low.

Faith: [ Laughs ] I guess you’re right.

Moses: So, are you ready for the real date?

Faith: No.

Moses: What’s wrong now?

Faith: I have to go home and change. This is a special occasion. I can’t go out like this.

Moses: [ Chuckles ] You look beautiful just the way you are now. But I’ll come and pick you up in an hour. You can tell your mom and rey that I’ll have you back by curfew.

Faith: Smooth move.

Moses: I have my moments.

Devon: [ Clears throat ] Hey. Did you get everything put away?

Amanda: Yes.

Devon: Yeah?

Amanda: Thank you for leaving me all that space in the closets.

Devon: Oh, absolutely. Abby gave me some advice. She said if you ever ask a woman to come live with you, you have to give her at least equal or more closet space.

Amanda: Ooh, wise words.

Devon: Yeah. Would you some tea or something to eat? I have earl grey and biscotti.

Amanda: Almond?

Devon: Of course.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Did abby tell you to buy all of my favorite foods, too?

Devon: No, she didn’T. That’s all me.

Amanda: Well, I’m actually not hungry.

Devon: Okay.

Amanda: Not even for my favorite things, but I do want to do one of my favorite things. Hang out with you.

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: We can do that. – Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: What are you doing here?

Adam: Good to see you, too. I guess my initial instinct was right — the wedding invitation was a mistake. So just pretend I never came by.

Victoria: No, wait, wait. It wasn’t a mistake. I’m sorry that your invite was late in coming.

Adam: Why the change of heart? Is it possible that things can warm up a bit a between us from whatever sub-arctic temperature we’re at now?

Victoria: I wouldn’t go that far. I’m inviting you because of our father.

Adam: He asked you to?

Victoria: He didn’t need to. We both know how important family is to him, and that includes you, too.

Adam: [ Chuckles ]

Victoria: Apparently, this new and improved adam is lasting a lot longer than I thought it would. You must be in the middle of some “renaissance” or something.

Adam: You read the article.

Victoria: I just thought it would be a nice way to say thank you to dad for being so supportive of the locke merger and my marriage to ashland. He even gave his blessing for the new portrait.

Adam: [ Clears throat ] Well, I’m not sure how the hell you got him to do that, but kudos.

Victoria: I know that nothing would make our father happier than to have his entire family at the wedding. And as much as I hate to inflate your ego any more, ashland has a certain respect for you. He admires the way that you stepped up and took over newman media, despite the fact that most of the world despises you.

Adam: Thank you?

Victoria: So, what do you think?

Adam: I mean, you genuinely want me there?

Victoria: I wouldn’t push it, if I were you. I’m not going to beg you. You and I both know that i personally do not want you there.

Adam: Uh-huh, I got it. You know, I thought I would be doing you a favor by not attending, but then it occurred to me that, after all the years of trying to get you to include me in your life, you finally opened a door, so it would be a mistake not to go. Not to mention, rude, regardless of what the motivation was behind the invite.

Victoria: So is that a yes?

Adam: Yes. I’d like to make dad happy, too, but I can see that this wedding is important to you, so that is reason enough to be there to witness it.

Victoria: You know, it’s kind of weird that you’re being so thoughtful. I might have to upgrade you from the kiddie table.

Adam: Oh, I could sit at the one for business associates or weird single people.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] This doesn’t mean that we’re friends.

Adam: I’ll settle for family. Got to start somewhere.

Sally: So, when are you meeting with adam?

Chloe: In a few minutes.

Sally: Okay. Take a look at this dress. Tell me this would not look amazing on victoria.

Chloe: Wow. It’s gorgeous. It’s — yeah, it’s regal and sophisticated with hints of old world glamour. It’s so cutting-edge. Save it for the next grand wedding in genoa city. It’ll look great on anyone.

Sally: That is not true. The whole point is that i designed it specifically for victoria. Everything you just described it as describes my muse. Her delicate frame, her classic, stately good looks. She’s the perfect combination of a modern, powerful, hardworking woman and a timeless beauty. This dress is for her and only her.

Chloe: I admit, it is more detailed and advanced than anything you’ve shown me, and i bet that victoria will fall in love with it. Which really has me thinking, between you and chelsea, we are sitting on a gold mine of unused designer talent. Maybe we should be thinking bigger than just the media platform.

Sally: I like the sound of that.

Chloe: What about a newman fashion line? It’ll be expansive and synergistic. The next step in our path to world domination.

[ Both laugh ]

Adam: World domination, huh? What are you two plotting?

Chloe: Sally’s on her way to society to meet with a renowned fashion magazine editor to promote newman media and discuss the latest trends, and I am confident that she is going to love everything that we have planned.

Adam: I’m sure she will. Knock ’em dead, sally.

Sally: Hey, before I go, i was just wondering if you were going to tuscany for your sister’s wedding.

Adam: Why do you ask?

Sally: I mean, I was just curious ’cause I know a little bit about the history between you two. You don’t exactly get along.

Adam: That is an accurate description. But, uh, she did just extend an invitation to me today.

Sally: Aw, that’s nice.

Adam: Wasn’t about me as much as my dad, but we’ll see. What’s the angle behind your question? I don’t have a date, and I’m not looking for one, if that’s why you’re asking.

Sally: Wow, aren’t you full of yourself. That’s a bit presumptuous.

Adam: My mistake.

Sally: I wasn’t asking to be your date. But, you know, if you want a friend or a colleague to join you, you have my number.

Devon: Yeah, that trip to the park was the first real alone time I got to have with the baby.

Amanda: Well, I am sure that abby appreciated the break. Being a new mom, gosh, it sounds exhausting.

Devon: Oh, you have no idea. She’s been wiped out. I was more than happy to do it. It’s special getting to just hang out and relax with that little guy.

Amanda: You’re being careful not to call him your son, huh?

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Yeah. I mean, I think that’s an important boundary to keep. I’m seeing how hard this has all been for mariah.

Amanda: Yeah. She’s a cautionary tale.

Devon: Just knowing how much she’s struggling through everything is — worries me and it shows me how hard it can be if you let yourself get overly attached. And yet, you know…

Amanda: Devon, you love dominic. He has your genes, how could you not be attached?

Devon: Well, mariah’s doing better, though. She’s — I think that it was a good idea for her to move out of the mansion.

Amanda: Yeah, that was a complex dynamic.

Devon: I really like that i can talk to you about anything.

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: I do. You understand me. What’s going on with you, though? What’s happening? What’s the update with naya and how was hanging out with imani?

Amanda: Oh. Naya, I mean, we’ve gotten some promising news, now that she’s settled with all of the right doctors.

Devon: Good.

Amanda: And I know that having a sister is new, but it feels so nice to have someone to share my anxieties with, you know, someone that I can call family. And I haven’t known imani that long, but I don’t know, there’s something about her, you know? She makes me feel comfortable. Kind of like you. I feel like I can breathe. I feel like I’M…

Devon: Like you’re home?

Amanda: Yeah, home.

[ Laughs ] If you are thinking what I am thinking, that is a pretty decadent for the middle of the afternoon.

Devon: What? And tonight’s winning numbers are 18,

Devon: I mean, I was just thinking that I should give you a tour of the penthouse, ’cause you haven’t seen all the bells and whistles yet.

Amanda: Oh. Okay. Well, you know, I have seen the shower made for two, so… I’ve also seen the thousand thread count sheets, so we don’t need to see that, right?

Devon: Right, but — but see, you were a guest before, and now it all belongs to you.

Amanda: Mm. You’re right. This is gonna be different.

Devon: Yeah.

Amanda: Yeah. Then maybe I’m gonna do something that I’ve never done before. I am going to invite you to join me in our bedroom.

Devon: In our bedroom? Really, now? I like that.

Amanda: [ Laughs ]

Sally: HeY. It’s sally spectra. I was just wondering how long it would take to get a wedding dress if money were no problem? Really, that fast? Yeah, excellent. I’m sending the designs over right now. Okay, thanks.

Jack: There might be another change in the flight plan. Yeah, there may just be two of us on the flight to milan. Myself and phyllis summers.

Phyllis: Nick, I can’t believe you put me through voicemail. Listen, what’s going on? The suspense is killing me. Please call me.

Billy: Gaines — jesse gaines. He is registered here, isn’t he?

Crystal: Mr. Gaines has checked out.

Billy: Really? When?

Crystal: I’m not sure. It just says his bill is paid and zeroed out.

Billy: You weren’t here when he checked out by chance, were you? He didn’t leave a forwarding address?

Crystal: I only know that mr. Gaines left. No other details.

Billy: Seems odd that a man would just suddenly disappear.

[ Sighs ] Thank you, crystal.

Victor: Are you just gonna stand there and stare at me or there’s something you want to say?

Billy: Just surprised to see you here again.

Victor: Uh-huh.

Billy: Or maybe you haven’t left. Either way, it seems weird that you would spend this much time in phyllis’ establishment. You got a meeting by chance? Yes, I do have a meeting. Thank you for asking. Jesse gaines. Does that name ring a bell?

Victor: It sounds like the name of your bookie.

Billy: He’s not here. He’s supposed to be staying here, but he checked out. And yet you are here. I have a hunch that’s not a coincidence.

Victor: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: Okay, gaines. I was at the agreed-upon meeting place and you were a no-show, and now you’re not taking my calls. Would you stop playing these silly games? And listen to me, you better not be reneging on our deal because that would be extremely foolish and short-sighted of you. Do you hear me? Looking forward to getting together so we can clear this up. Okay? Thanks. Call me.

Victoria: Sounds like someone’s in trouble.

Ashland: Why would you say that?

Victoria: Well, I can tell by your tone that you’re not too pleased with someone.

Ashland: Oh, certain people in my company are not adjusting as well as I would like to the merger.

Victoria: So why not just cut them loose?

Ashland: Well, it’s not as simple as that. This person in particular has been with the organization for quite a long time, and he is the holder of a lot of the institutional knowledge that we really can’t afford to lose right now. I mean, you know how it is.

Victoria: No. Quite frankly, I don’T. And the reason that I don’t is because you’re being deliberately vague. And I have to say, that concerns me, because, once again, it feels like you’re hiding something.

Abby: Shh. Dominic, hey, baby, what’s wrong? Shh. Oh, baby. Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. It’s okay, it’s okay. Well, you just ate and you’re not wet. Oh, what’s wrong? Shh. Why don’t you tell mommy what’s the matter? Shh.

Mariah: [ Sighs ]

Tessa: “Mariah, went out to pick up a few things, text if you need anything.”

Mariah: Oh. How did this get in here?

[ Groaning ]

Abby: Oh, my god.

Devon: Good job.

Abby: He’s here. He’s here. Mariah, you did it.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: Good job, good job. Wow. It feels so different, holding you out here in my arms than it did when you were inside of me. I can’t believe how natural it feels, holding you.

Abby: Hi. Where have you been?

Mariah: Oh, uh, bowie — sorry — uh, dominic was crying his head off, and I had no idea what to do. So I called the pediatrician, and he said that going out for a walk might help. And look. It worked.

Sharon: Hey, tessa. It’s good to see you. Will mariah be joining you?

Tessa: No, she’s taking a walk, but I thought I would take the opportunity to check in with you.

Sharon: Oh, well, I’m glad you did. Mariah asked me to give her some space, and I’m trying really hard to keep my word, but it’s difficult to stay away.

Tessa: I know, but thank you for respecting her wishes.

Sharon: Well, I mean, it sounds like she’s getting out on her own and getting some exercise. That’s positive.

Tessa: Yeah, yeah, she’s definitely in better spirits.

Sharon: Well, that’s the best news I’ve heard all day. Moving out of the chancellor house, just putting some physical distance between her and the baby, that was probably a good instinct on her part. Maybe she’s getting some emotional distance, as well.

Tessa: Yeah, I’m not so sure about that. I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Billy: [ Sighs ] You’re here for a reason, victor. This isn’t your stomping ground. You’re more of a society guy because your daughter owns that place. So why are you here?

Victor: Crystal, if someone’s looking for me, tell them I’m going to the restaurant, okay? Thank you.

Ashland: I’m not trying to hide anything, sweetheart, and if I sounded vague, it’s because I had the situation well in hand and there’s nothing for you to worry about.

Victoria: You know, i honestly thought that when you revealed the truth about your past and I took it all in stride, that you would realize that it’s wise to be open with me. There’s nothing that you have to hide from me. I’m not gonna judge you or reject you, no matter what it is.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: I want you to know that you can come to me with whatever’s bothering you. And you’re gonna have an ally in me. I mean, I’m gonna be your wife. That’s the point of this whole marriage thing, at least from my perspective. So…let’s just start this conversation over again. Tell me, what was that phone call really about? Who were you talking to?

Nikki: Victoria, I have terrific news. Oh, I’m sorry. I — am I interrupting something?

Sharon: So, mariah’s new plan for getting over dominic is to start a family with you? Are you ready for that?

Tessa: Well, I mean, we talked about it before as something we would consider in the future, eventually.

Sharon: But mariah wants to speed up the schedule.

Tessa: I could use some advice on how to approach this with mariah without upsetting her.

Sharon: Well, first, you need to decide if having a baby is something that you’re ready for and that you want right now, something that you would be ready to just jump into.

Tessa: Yeah, but it’s not just about what I want. Look, it’s pretty obvious that this idea is not coming from healthy or grounded place, but the fantasy seems to be lifting mariah’s spirits. You know, it’s given her something to hold on to. And I don’t want to take that away from her. I just — I also don’t want to make any promises that I might not be able to keep. I don’t know — what do I do? How do I handle this? I just — I don’t know what to say to her.

[ Knock on door ]

Mariah: Hey, devon. Come on in.

Devon: Thank you, thank you. I was just thinking about you and tessa, and I wanted to stop by and see how you’re doing.

Mariah: Um, yeah, we’re good.

Devon: Yeah?

Mariah: I guess. I know it must have seemed like I was freaking out the day of the baptism.

Devon: Nah, no, nobody thought that you were freaking out at all. You’re just taking care of yourself, which is what we all want you to do. But we have been thinking about you.

Mariah: By “we,” do you mean you and abby? Have you guys been discussing the state of my mental health?

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Well, no, I mean, it’s — you know how abby can get. She always wants everybody to be happy, and if they’re not, she’ll figure out how to feel responsible for them.

Mariah: So you’re saying that, because this has been hard on me, it’s also been hard on abby.

Devon: What I’m saying, mariah, is that we’re all just trying to figure this out together. You know? And we’re probably gonna fumble our way through it ’cause this is a new experience for everybody. We’ve never been in a situation like this before, none of us. I mean, hell, I’m not even sure what my role in dominic’s life is gonna be.

Who’s on it with jardiance?

Ashland: Nikki, no, good lord, you’re not interrupting at all. I suppose you have some good news about the wedding?

Nikki: Well, yes. As you know, we have confirmed tessa to sing, but I have just made arrangements with leslie brooks to play during the ceremony.

Ashland: Oh, that’s very impressive. I remember you telling me she’s an old friend of the family. I can’t wait. If you’ll excuse me, there’s some things I need to tend to.

Victoria: Ashland, we haven’t finished our conversation. Can you stay just a minute?

Nikki: I am sorry. I will give you your privacy back.

Ashland: No, no, no, that’s alright. Victoria and I can finish up later. I have to get out of here to make some calls before it gets too late overseas. I’ll see you. Love you. Good to see you, nikki.

Nikki: You too. Sweetheart, is everything alright?

Victoria: Of course.

Sharon: What have you said to mariah about her idea to have a baby?

Tessa: Well, I couldn’t hide how shocked I was. And to be perfectly honest, I’m not sure how I feel. And I’m sure mariah picked up on that. But she seems pretty convinced that this is the right idea for her.

Sharon: And she’s hoping that you’ll just come around?

Tessa: Well, like I said, I’m not opposed to the general idea, but I don’t know if I’m ready. And after everything mariah’s gone through, I don’t think she is either.

Sharon: I would follow that instinct. I think that mariah’s sudden drive to have this baby is just not coming from the right place or a healthy place. She’s grieving right now, and she’s trying to fill a void.

Tessa: It’s like she’s reaching out for something, anything to make the ache in her heart go awaY. And if it’s helping her, making plans and daydreaming, is there any harm letting it go on just a little longer?

Sharon: Although it’s well-intended, I still think it’s a bad idea because mariah is gonna get her heart set on this vision of you two having a family in the future, and then if she gets that taken away from her, too…

Tessa: Yeah. That would be pretty harsh.

[ Sighs ] I don’t know, it’s just all so sudden.

Sharon: You have to find a way to tell her this.

Tessa: Yeah. You’re right. But it is not gonna be easy.

Sharon: It won’t be. But I think that mariah will understand.

Devon: Holding that little baby for the first moments of his life was the single most amazing experience of mine. And the connection that i already feel with him, I know it’s just gonna get stronger, and I know that chance is his father, I’m his godfather, but it’s not that simple, as you well know.

Mariah: Have you shared any of this with abby.

Devon: Nah. I haven’t shared any of it with her because I figure she’s got enough on her plate.

Mariah: Do you think i shouldn’t have either?

Devon: I’m not saying that at all, no. I think that you were in a completely different situation because you were living under the same roof with her and the baby, so I get it, you needed the separation.

Mariah: How did everything get so out of control?

Devon: I don’t think that anything got out of control, really, it’s just we need to let time go by and let things settle into place, and for me, that’s, you know, gonna be when chance comes back home.

Mariah: Maybe so.

Devon: But hey, how are you really doing? ‘Cause, you know, if you’re still feeling unsafe or anything like that, I can hire security for you.

Mariah: Thank you, devon.

Devon: Of course, of course. Although I’m sure stitch and his son are long gone by now.

Mariah: Yeah, you’re probably right. Um, you know, right now I’m not too worried about it. Although if they called me and told me that they found stitch and he had been locked away, i would be incredibly relieved.

Devon: Yeah. I know that would go a long way towards you putting all this behind you.

Mariah: Yeah. But tessa and I are trying to figure out other ways for me to heal.

Devon: Good.

Mariah: And, you know, i think we’ve — we’ve got a plan. It’s nothing concrete yet, it’s just sort of in the inspiration phase.

Devon: Yeah? That’s great.

Mariah: There’s no news to report, but if there is, I’ll let you know.

Devon: That’s fine. I’m not gonna pry at all. I’m just happy to hear that you’re hopeful about the future.

Mariah: I am. I am incredibly excited about where tessa and I are going. So, the next time you talk to abby, you can tell her that I am well on the road to recovery.

Devon: Alright. I brought in ensure max protein, with thirty grams of protein.

Abby: Hey, come on in. Hey. That’s perfect timing. I actually just got dominic down for his nap.

Devon: Oh, man, I was hoping I could spend some time with him.

Abby: Really?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: That’s how it is now? You come here to see the baby? I’m just, what, a sideshow, a bonus attraction?

Devon: No, no, not at all. I came to check on the new mama, too.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Of course, of course. I know you’ve had your hands full lately. Has dominic been keeping you up?

Abby: Uh, yeah, he’s definitely a night owl, but I’m not complaining because when i just look at his face, even though it’s 3:00 A.M., But he’s smiling at me, that little grin, ugh!

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: It’s gonna be burned in my memory forever.

Devon: Aw, I bet it is.

Abby: I’m sorry, I’m a little groggy today, so bear with me.

Devon: That’s okay.

Abby: Is there anything new going on with you?

Devon: Uh, yeah, I do have some news. I asked amanda to move in with me.

Abby: Oh, my gosh! Wow!

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Well, that’s not just news, that’s great news. I want to hear all about it. When? Where? What did you say? More importantly, what did she say?

Devon: Well, she’s —

[ Dominic crying ] Uh-oh.

Abby: Sorry. Stay right here. I’ll be back. Just give me like two minutes.

Devon: Of course.

Rey: Hey, babe.

Sharon: Oh, hey. Uh, I wasn’t expecting to see you until tonight.

Rey: Well, I finished my shift early, and now I am all yours. Thought we could do something fun and hang out, whatever you like.

Sharon: I am so glad you’re here. I need you to save me from myself.

Nikki: And as soon as our lawyers file the documents, the deal should go through.

Victoria: Oh, problem solved. Thank you, mom.

Nikki: Now that that is out of the way, you can go join your fiancé. I’m sure he’s finished with his phone calls by now.

Victoria: That’s okay. I will see him at home later. It’s not like we were discussing anything urgent anyway.

Nikki: Victoria, you know how much I hate to meddle or argue.

Victoria: Right.

Nikki: It is very clear that something is on your mind. You’re concerned about something. Now, if you want to talk about it, I’m a good listener.

Victoria: What I said earlier, about ashland feeling that he was safe, that he could tell me anything, I think I may have spoken too soon.

Nikki: Oh, no. He’s still keeping something from you?

Victoria: He just seems worried, like something’s wrong, but for some reason, he’s compelled to pretend like everything’s fine.

Nikki: Maybe it has something to do with the merger.

Victoria: No, no, because that — that’s going well. Maybe this has something to do with billy. Maybe he’s continuing his little harassment campaign.

Nikki: Oh, well, I have no doubt that billy is still investigating. And he may not be the only one. Ashland has lived this false identity for so long, I wouldn’t be surprised if other reporters and investigators are digging into his past.

Victoria: But ashland says that he hasn’t shared with anyone but us that he changed his identity, and I believe him.

Nikki: That doesn’t mean someone else hasn’t already figured it out on their own.

Billy: If you’re looking for gaines, he checked out. I’m assuming that’s who you came to see again.

Victor: Ashland! Thanks for meeting me today.

Ashland: Victor, forgive me for running late.

Victor: That’s alright. Table in the restaurant is waiting.

Billy: I hope it’s a table for three. Got a few questions for the both of you.

Victor: [ Laughs ] You’re a pest, billy boy.

[]

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Billy: I highly doubt that you would come here to meet victor. I mean, the natural spot for a board member and the owner of the company would be the shiny new offices at newman media that are just around the corner.

Ashland: Well, you seem to forget that victor and I are more than just colleagues. We’re about to become family.

Billy: Oh, I haven’t forgotten that. Not by a long shot.

Ashland: So why all the suspicion? I mean, we’re simply here to grab a drink and talk about wedding plans. Surely you want no part of that conversation, since you made it obvious that you have great regrets about letting victoria get away.

Victor: You know, ashland, perhaps meeting here was a mistake, so why don’t we adjourn to my ranch where we have some privacy?

Ashland: Excellent idea.

Billy: Yeah, excellent idea. I’m sure you have fond memories of when you almost died of a heart attack and victor sat there and watched you the entire time.

Victor: Incorrigible, aren’t you, huh? Why don’t take a long walk off a short cliff?

Billy: [ Sighs ]

Abby: I am so sorry. You’re gonna have to give me the scoop about amanda moving in another time. Dominic’s just having a hard time settling in for his nap. It’s funny, they tell new moms to sleep when the baby sleeps, but no one really tells you what to do when the baby just doesn’t sleep.

Devon: Oh, boy. Well, hey, why don’t — why don’t you let me take him for a walk or something like that and you can get some rest?

Abby: Oh, no, no, that’s okay. I wouldn’t want to impose.

Devon: You’re not imposing. I just offered. I’d love to do it.

Abby: Really? I mean…

Devon: Yes.

Abby: I am pretty exhausted. Are you sure you don’t mind?

Devon: Hey, come on, I don’t mind at all.

Abby: Oh, got him?

Devon: Yeah. Oh, there we go.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: There you go. How you want to — how would you like to go for a walk with your godfather? You hear that? He loves the idea.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Yeah.

Mariah: Hey.

Tessa: Hi.

Mariah: You were gone for a while. Where’d you go?

Tessa: Oh, I went to our place to grab some mail. We got victoria’s wedding invitation. Elegant.

Mariah: What a nice touch. It’s almost as if we’re actually invited guests and not just going because you’re singing at the wedding.

Tessa: Yeah, I know, right? But I am so excited for this trip. It’s exactly what we need — a change of scenery. Ugh, I saw photos of the palazzo, and it is absolutely gorgeous. And with nikki planning the wedding, it is going to be exquisite down to the tiniest detail.

Mariah: Yeah, I’m excited for the trip, too. And, you know, maybe we can even make plans with summer and kyle after the wedding.

Tessa: Mm-hmm. Well, I do hope that kyle was understanding about how you couldn’t be the best person at his wedding.

Mariah: Yes, he was. I explained everything that happened to him. You know, this italy trip, i think it’s gonna be the perfect opportunity to just have a little fun before we settle down, you know? And it’s not like you can’t travel with babies. I mean, people do it all the time. You know what I mean.

Tessa: Uh, yeah, yeah, I do. And I think we need to talk about that.

Mariah: Oh! Devon was here earlier, and i was so tempted to tell him that we’re talking about having a baby. I mean, he’s gonna be thrilled for us. And imagine if he and amanda want to have kids, and then our baby and devon’s baby and bowie, they could all grow up together.

Tessa: Mariah, I… I think you’re getting ahead of yourself here. Or at — at least you’re getting ahead of me.

Mariah: Oh.

Tessa: Don’t get me wrong. I want to raise a family together. But we need to have some serious discussions before we make this decision, and I know that you’re ready to jump in with both feet right now…

Mariah: But you’re not.

Tessa: Not yet. I don’t want to rush this. We need to make sure that we are both fully prepared to take this on. It’s a life-changing move.

Mariah: I get it. I get it, I do. I just got excited at the idea of raising a child of our own.

Rey: What’s going on? Why do you need me to save you?

Sharon: It’s all I can do to stop myself from running over to the grand phoenix and mothering mariah to death, whether she wants me to or not.

Rey: She knows you’re here for her.

Sharon: She’s just been through so much. She barely had time to get over one trauma before she got hit with the next. And tessa was just here. She made it sound like mariah’s really struggling.

Rey: You know the best thing you could’ve done is gotten closer to tessa while mariah went missing.

Sharon: Why do you say that?

Rey: Because it’s already paying off. Tessa feels comfortable coming to you for advice now, and I bet you’ll be the first person she comes to if there’s a real emergency that needs your attention.

Sharon: Yeah. It’s a good point.

Rey: In the meantime, I have some suggestions to keep yourself occupied.

Sharon: You do? Okay. You know what? I’m all ears.

Devon: Hey, dominic. You know where we are? We are in chancellor park now. And this is a very, very special place because it is named after one of the most special women that you would ever know. Her name was katherine chancellor. She was my grandma, which means she’s your great-grandma. That’s right. Growing up, you’re getting a lot of stories about her and about all the people in your family that helped build this town. Yeah. There you go. Gosh. You got the newmans. You got the abbotts. You have the chancellors. You have the winters. Neil winters was my dad. And I — I really, really wish that you could meet him. He would love you so, so much. My point is, though, you got a lot of roots, dude. You got so much heritage here. You’re gonna grow up strong and you’re gonna grow up secure and you will never question that you belong here, ever. I think that’s pretty cool. You’re a very lucky little dude.

Sharon: You are wearing the shirt you bought in miami. Reminds me of our honeymoon.

Rey: Ah. So you remember.

Sharon: Well, how could i forget? And isn’t this the song that we danced to on the last night we were there? I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

Rey: Oh, you know, I’m a detective, so there are no coincidences as far as I’m concerned. And the menu for tonight has also been designed to evoke honeymoon memories. Mojitos, papas rellenas, tostones, y ropa vieja.

Sharon: Wow. You really thought of everything, didn’t you? I don’t know if you’ll be able to top this date ever.

Rey: [ Chuckles ] You just hold on. We’re just getting started.

Billy: Hello, there. Nice to see you both outside the office during business hours.

Nikki: We’re just taking a little break.

Billy: Well, that’s nice. Victoria, I just ran into your fiancé at the grand phoenix.

Victoria: Ran into him or tracked him down?

Billy: Believe me, it was a coincidence. Apparently, we had a meeting with the same guy at the same time — jesse gaines. I’m assuming ashland mentioned him to you. It’s his lawyer — or former lawyer, I guess. He’s in town for a few days.

Victoria: I really don’t know why you think I’d be interested.

Billy: I know you pretty well. I can tell you’re trying to cover the fact that you haven’t heard that name before. I’m surprised ashland hasn’t mentioned him.

Victor: Would you care for a drink?

Ashland: No, not for me right now. Thank you.

Victor: Well, then, have a seat.

Ashland: You know, i appreciate you running interference for me with billy. I can handle him myself, of course, but his constant suspicions at every turn get to be a bit much.

Victor: Don’t worry about it. I took care of it for you, okay?

Ashland: Well, I hope that that proves to be true. I’d love to believe it, but i think billy is bound and determined to be a thorn in my side.

Victor: Well, ashland, I’m not talking about billy boy abbott, I’m talking about jesse gaines. I know that billy would have brought him up to you. But I took care of that problem. Would you care for a drink now?

Rey: Don’t you peek or you’ll ruin the surprise.

Sharon: Mmm. I feel like I’ve traveled back in time to the botanical garden we visited in florida. But where would you get tropical flowers in the middle of fall and in genoa city, no less?

Rey: Open your eyes.

Sharon: [ Gasps ]

Rey: Every time you wear that, we’ll be transported back to that magical time. That way, our honeymoon in miami never ends.

Sharon: This really is the perfect date. The tastes, the sounds, and the scents of miami. But I have one more honeymoon surprise for you when we get home.

Rey: Oh, yeah? What’d I forget?

Sharon: I will give you a hint.

Rey: Hmm.

Sharon: I’ll be wearing nothing but this.

Victoria: What is your point, billy? Ashland and my mother and I are running a multinational conglomerate. Do you really think that we have the time to give each other a rundown of who we speak to in the course of a day?

Billy: Jesse gaines is a man that you need to know.

Victoria: I don’t care, billy! I don’t know how I need to say this to you to make you understand to back off. Leave me alone. Leave ashland alone. Stay the hell out of our lives.

Ashland: I’m not sure what you’re getting at. Jesse gaines is nobody. He’s an old acquaintance that i recently got back in touch with.

Victor: Hmm. Have that drink, ashland. Well, from what I gather, jesse gaines collected $300,000 a year from you for decades, without doing a damn thing. Seems to me was some kind of an extortion racket, right? But don’t worry about that anymore. I took care of it, you know? I offered him a lot of money to stay away from you. So consider that a wedding gift.

Ashland: Did gaines come to you asking for money?

Victor: No, no, no. No, I sought him out.

Ashland: Oh.

Victor: And I told him that he had a choice to make. He would either go to prison for blackmail or accept my very generous offer.

Ashland: What did he say about our history?

Victor: Well, that didn’t make any difference, really. I didn’t care what he had to say.

Ashland: Well, how would you know unless you heard him out?

Victor: Ashland, you and i are really not that dissimilar, are we? We both had rough backgrounds, you know. Used our elbows a lot, pushed people around, right? We did things that we probably would regret now. But it made us who we are today. And I’m a firm believer in letting bygones be bygones.

Ashland: Victor, I hope you know that you — you can’t trust gaines to keep his word. He won’t be satisfied no matter how generous you were.

Victor: I know that. I’m keeping an eye on him.

Ashland: I don’t know what to say.

Victor: There’s nothing to say, you know? I just want you to know that this is not something I did for you. I did this for victoria. I adore her. And she has never been as happy as she is today. That’s because of you, and i would like it to stay that way.

Ashland: So do I.

Victor: Great. Now, having said that, I want you to know that what I’ve done today I can undo in the blink of an eye. You get my drift?

Ashland: That I do. And you have no reason to worry.

Victor: Good.

Ashland: All I want is to make victoria as happy as she has made me.

Victor: Well, now, as long as it stays that way, you have nothing to worry about. Cheers.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ohh. That was so unsatisfying. Well, that’s just what every man longs to hear.

[ Chuckles ] No, I mean retracing chloe’s steps, you know? Ah. I was hoping to — thank you — just be able to find something more than just the site of the accident. We did find something more. We found a road to this quaint little tavern. So what do you say, anna devane? Should we take a night off sleuthing, just one, have ourselves a little drinky? I’m in.

[ Cell door opens ]

[ Groaning ] You’ve got company. Oh, you brought me a roommate. How thoughtful. I was getting a little lonely. Enjoy.

[ Dr. Obrecht grunts ]

[ Cell door closes ]

Mein gott. Drew cain? You’re alive? Dr. Obrecht, right? But you vanished. It’s been years. So, I’m getting the sense that you’re not the reason that I’m in here, which… begs the question, who managed to capture you? That’s my boy. Hey, wiley is the next picasso. That’s your boy, alright. So, are you suggesting that I’m not artistic? I’m not saying you’re not

not artistic. Wow. I am wounded.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, you’ll get over it.

[ Door opens ] Willow: Yuri, hi. Yuri: Hello, ms. Willow. I told you you could just call me willow, okay? Ms. Brook lynn take ms. Bailey upstairs for nap time, but, uh, I have treat from charlie’s for wiley. Oh, that is so sweet. I think we’ll save it for dessert. There something else, yuri? Wiley have visitor. Oh? Hi. Good. You’re here.

[ Door closes ] Hi, maxie. What’s, um, going on? Maxie has something she wants to tell you. Okay, th-this sounds serious. It is.

[ Sighs ] Okay. I’m of two minds. A big part of me thinks, “it’s not your business. Just stay out of it.” But another part, also big, thinks that I have information you have a right to because you’re sonny’s wife. And if I were you, I would want to know. Yeah, it was my idea to have the funeral. You know, carly wasn’t ready. I mean, nobody was — was ready. I just said we should do it. You did right. I mean, you — you s– you had to send a message that I was gone and that you were in charge. I know, but… that’s the business. …I hated every minute of it, because it felt like, doing business, I couldn’t — couldn’t actually grieve. Well, the good news is you don’t have to grieve anymore. Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection, but we also bundle outdoor vehicles with home and auto to help people save more!

[ Laughs ]

[ Humming ]

[ Door creaks ] Oh.

Life is so strange, isn’t it? In what way? It’s cyclical. It, uh, teaches us the most interesting lessons in the most unexpected ways. Oh, you’re in a mood. I’m in a brooding mood. Is that a turn-off? No. I like it. Keep going. Why is life unexpected and interesting? Being back in greece, for one. I think it’s, uh, reminded me or maybe helped me to see how after, in my mind, you rejected me because of the way I looked — it had nothing to do with your looks. I said in my mind. I became obsessed with re-creating myself, with getting my hands on the cassadine inheritance. Yeah, and taking your place as the cassadine. Yeah. And all that evil crap with the chimera and the rest — oh, it was so much. Mm-hmm. It was about paying for my expensive spinal surgeries and also to fund my quest for the cassadine fortune. But… it was also about circling back to you. I wanted to stand tall in front of you and say, “look at me, anna devane. I’m strong. And I’m rich. I’m a cassadine.” But I don’t think I ever really appreciated how much of a burden that was to me. Of course I’m not the reason you’re here. You think if I wanted to hold someone captive, I couldn’t come up with a better facility than this? Ah. I see you’re not into the accommodations. Don’t worry. They grow on you. As do the bruises and lacerations. Mm. It’s a look. That’s quite the professional beating you received. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wh-what is that? Antibiotics. I’ve been told to check your injuries and treat you for possible infection. Uh, no, I-I-I don’t — I don’t think that’s a good idea. Why not? If memory serves, and I could be wrong about this, you were some kind of evil villainess, weren’t you?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, you have much bigger problems than me. Is that so? You really don’t know who’s holding you here, do you? And let me guess, you’re not about to tell me. On the contrary, I would be delighted.

[ Grunts ] It’s okay, yuri. Nina’s family. Yeah, come on in. Wiley, look who’s here. Hi. You know, whatever growing pill you’re taking, it needs to stop right now. You’ve grown like a foot since last time I’ve seen you. Hey, wiley, I have missed you so much.

[ Chuckles ] He’s missed you, too. Yeah. Can I have a hug? Oh, yeah, of course. Yay! Come here! That’s wiley’s specialty. Yay. Oh, honey.

[ Sighs ] It’s the best hug ever. Okay, guess what. I got you something. You want to see it? Look at this. Do you like it? Yeah? Yes. Why don’t you go look at it? Go look at it.

[ Chuckles ]Yeah, he loves it. Yeah. I understand that you two got back together. I’m so happy for you. Oh, yeah, thank you. Uh, yeah, we’re happy for us, too. Feels like the whole family has been given a second chance, now that sonny’s home. So, what about you? Is this another quick visit, or are you back for good? So now that I’m back, I want you to give me details on what happened while I was gone. Yeah, go ahead. Ask me anything. Well, I know you wouldn’t have had a funeral, first of all, and you definitely wouldn’t have gotten married to carly if — if, uh, the situation didn’t require it. Yeah, we — we had no choice. And then dante showed up when I came home? Was that a police matter? Yeah, there was a-a limo explosion outside of the wedding. Your wedding? Who was in it? Novak and buscema. What are the odds? I mean, I can’t see you inviting two guys to a wedding you’re gonna blow up, but I can see them coming to a wedding to blow you and carly up, but you were one step ahead, right? We, uh, owe a real debt to ms. Wu. I always liked her. Yeah, me, too. What is it that we’re talking about, here, maxie? What do you know? Well, I-I’m going to tell you. Then tell me. Okay, can I do it in my way and in order? A-and please try and reserve any judgment, which I know will be difficult. It would be for me, too. We’re kind of alike in that way. Okay, look, I get that you’re trying to help, but the way you’re building this up is making it sound really bad. Yeah, well, it is. Well, then, what is it? Maxie! Come on. Okay, fine! Nina has known for months that sonny was alive.

My name’s caleb. What’s yours? I’m grace! Did you just move here? Yeah! Cool!

I hate that helena cassadineis my mother? Of course I do. But I’m free of it. Mm-hmm. Yes, you are. I have two beautiful daughters that I love and adore. I have money of my own. I’m my own man. What’s happened happened. Of course, you and I still have a very messy history. So messy. But I’m not tethered by it. I don’t drag it around like a ball and… chain? …Chain. I’m free to pursue you because I want to, because you’re gorgeous, and you captivate me. And I could make you dizzy with a million other fancy words for why I just like being around you. Okay, that’s enough ouzo for you, I think. I don’t know. Maybe it’s not enough ouzo for you. You trying to get me drunk? Hell yes. You think I’m handsome now? Wait till you get a buzz going.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Speaking greek ] This is the perfect atmosphere for this conversation. Is this a conversation? ‘Cause I think it has to be two ways. We would never have this conversation back in port charles. You are so guarded. I’m not guarded. I just like to keep up a professional demeanor. You’re guarded. You never let your defenses down. But here we are, just the two of us, in the field.

[ Speaks greek ]

[ Speaks greek ] Oh, yes. Tomorrow, when the sun comes up, you can pretend this never happened. Or you can admit that it did and just dismiss my words as those of a drunken fool. But tonight, I’m saying everything. What is the last thing you did as a free man?

[ Groans ] I, um… I sent andre maddox back to port charles, and then — and then I got on a charter plane to afghanistan. At least it was headed to afghanistan, because I was gonna return the money that my… “good buddy” archer stole. And then sometime mid-flight, the plane veered off-course and — and we landed on some island. And then what? Well, then two guys with guns, they boarded the flight. I tried to resist them, and then — and then lights out. For me, not for them. I woke up in this place, and I’ve been here ever since. And what does that tell you? Man, you must really like the game “20 questions.” It tells me that somebody wanted me abducted, and I didn’t know why then, and I still don’T. It was two people working in tandem. And those people would be…? The first, the one responsible for your original abduction, was none other than peter august. So, I assume with buscema and novak out of the picture, nothing ties us to their deaths? I mean, you know, diane and i will probably have to go down to the station, sit there for a while, but there’s nothing to find. Good. That means we’re in a-a decent position. Am I right? Uh, I don’t know. I mean, because buscema and novak wouldn’t have acted on their own. Renault? Even from prison, he’s still connected. Cyrus is definitely not gone. We got to work on a strategy. What? Well, I mean, you know, I could just — I could just picture that bastard sipping coffee, learning about the two guys that died and I’m alive.

[ Laughs ] And I’m standing here in front of my grave, and I’m not in it. I feel like a winner. I cannot be touched. Then, uh, we need to have this conversation. It’s a little early to say if I’m back for good. Uh, tbd, how about that? Fair enough. But no more… where were you again? Pennsylvania. Uh, no, I said goodbye to my time there. Ah. Well, hey, one chapter closes, another one begins. Yes, that’s what they say. Wiley, he looks so happy.

[ All chuckle ] We’re trying. And you’re succeeding. Michael, willow, there’s something that I need to tell you. Wait, I’m sorry. Did you just say that nina knew? Yes. So when I went to pick up my dad in nixon falls, nina knew that sonny was there? Yes. She was hiding him away, letting all of us grieve and putting my mother through hell?! I want to know what she knew and when. And I want to know how and when you found out. I did not know when I planned your wedding, okay? I swear. I didn’t find out till this morning when nina came to me, and she was really upset and — and very remorseful. She said she made a terrible mistake. A mistake. Is that what we’re calling it?

Okay, your turn. What, to drink or talk? Both. We don’t have to talk about me all night. We can talk about you. What do you think of me?

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Since you’re not even going to remember your name in the morning, I will tell you.

[ Exhales sharply ] I missed you. I missed what we were to each other. Our friendship. And, yeah, I know it was me who messed it up. But then when everything happened and you came back into my life… it was a problem. What was the problem? I like you. And I didn’t want to. And it keeps getting worse. And I think, in a way, you understand me better than anyone else. I mean, robert is the closest, obviously. But he’s the… good soldier. That’s the difference. He never sold out. He never compromised himself like — like I did. How we both did. I’m not saying that he looks down on me. What I’m saying is that I look down on myself when I’m with him. But not with me because I’m so much worse? Yes, you are. Right. That’s not what I meant. No, I know, I know, I know. I’m good. I’m good. You know, the first thing that changed my life completely… was the birth of my daughter charlotte. And you know the second thing. It was you. Oh, my god. Of course. Peter was in afghanistan. He paid david archer to hand me over to helena. Something you didn’t remember at first, but when it started to come back years later — that son of a bitch didn’t want me to rat him out.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah, peter was anxious to keep hidden what a wretched human being he is, someone who stole you from your life and — and scrambled your memory. He — he saw me as a threat. Specifically to your standing with the people he held most dear — maxie and his unborn child. So peter went “extreme,” as they say — not that I haven’t been there myself. But there’s a difference between doing nefarious things because you’re blindly in love with the person you’re doing them for and doing them just because it’s expedient. Wait. What did peter do to maxie? Well, I mean, carly was gonna talk to you about it, but since, you know, the moment came up, uh, I thought I will. Yeah?Yeah. H-h-how you doing with your, uh, bipolar disorder? I mean, have you been on your meds? H-how you dealing with it? Because you seem like you’re doing okay right now. I-I was — I was lucky, ’cause the people that took me in, uh, phyllis, she was a nurse, and she — she saw my erratic behavior from the beginning. Did it get bad? Nah, it didn’t get — didn’t get really bad, but I couldn’t — I didn’t sleep couple nights, and, um… you know, uh — you know how I get when I’m having a manic episode. And anybody else would have thrown me out, called the cops. But they were fantastic. They just told me to go to the doctor and get treatment. I mean, that — well, that sounds like a real blessing. Yeah. But that doctor was treating a bartender named mike. Right. Sonny, you — you should see your psychiatrist. I just want to tell you how much it means to me that you gave me a second chance. I mean, to be able to be with wiley, it’s such a gift. Look. What it boils down to is wiley loves you and you love him. So much. How could we take that away from him? And I am so, so grateful. And not only that, but also that you’re wiley’s parents both of you. And you’re really great parents. I mean, you put him first, and you can tell. He’s such a happy, all-around awesome kid. And I give you guys all the credit. Thanks. Yeah. I don’t know about that. No, I do. You’re decent. You’re… decent, kind, good people. And you didn’t have to let me be part of wiley’s life, but you did it anyway. And I know there was a little coercion with jax, but I truly believe that if you thought that I was bad for wiley, there’s no way that you would let me in his life. You gave me a chance. Thank you. You’re very kind to say all that. No, I mean it. I’m very, very grateful. Well, so are we. The situation with wiley had gone really bad, as you know, and nina wanted to get out of town to clear her head. So she stopped by nixon falls to say hello to a friend, and she was floored when she saw sonny. So floored she couldn’t tell me? She was gonna call you, carly. She said she did call you to tell you that, uh, she saw sonny, and you guys got in some sort of argument? Oh, whoa, so now this is my mom’s fault? Wait, no, I didn’t say that. She wasn’t nice to nina, so that gave nina the right to lie and keep sonny a secret for months? That is crap!

I changed your life? Oh, this should be good. Yeah. It was miraculous, seeing you again, how you’d completely changed your life around. You’d gone from a sad, flawed, compromised sellout — mm, don’t hold back. And you’d become something so much better. I admire you. I could never reach the level that you’ve reached. But you showed me that I can make better choices. I can see that. I see you. I know you do. And you see me. Yeah. Better than anyone does, I think. Oh. Just don’t go and get all juvenile about this. Where have I heard that before? Wait, wait — not the juvenile part, the other bit. Okay. Oh, there we go. Yeah, you’re getting juvenile, I see. I know — me! I’m the one who said that. I’ve been saying that all along. I get you, anna devane, right down to your socks. I’m not wearing any socks. It’s a good start. Peter and maxie conceived a child together. Ah, I thought maxie had better instincts than that.

[ Chuckles ] He won her over. And he was convincing. Completely sold maxie on the fact that he was reformed. I fell for it, too, for a while. Maxie was my daughter-in-law. I wanted to be on good terms with her. And how’d that work out for you?

[ Scoffs, chuckles ] When peter’s past was on the brink of coming out to haunt him… he framed me for his own crimes and had me shipped off to steinmauer. S-so that’s it. So you were at steinmauer and then — and then they sent you here. There was this whole interstitial with maxie realizing how despicable peter was, rejecting him, and then him arranging to induce her labor so he could kidnap her and his child. As one does. So what happened?

[ Scoffs ] It backfired. The woman he hired to preside over the birth ended up stealing the baby, handing her off to someone else, and meeting an untimely end. So now that precious baby is out there. Maxie doesn’t know where to find her. Are you sure this wasn’t a setup by peter? Positive. The only thing he cares about is finding his daughter. Which is clearly why he’s working with victor. Who the hell is victor? You know, we haven’t forgotten how much you came through for wiley at the original custody hearing. I mean, you got on the stand, and you just told the truth about nelle, and I know it made a huge difference.

[ Chuckles ] It’s funny. At that time, I didn’t know that he was my grandson. Yeah. You know, I’ve — I’ve, uh — I’ve thought about that, you know, knowing what we know now, if it would have changed what you said. Willow: But it doesn’t matter. Yeah. You came through for wiley when he needed you, and… we will always be grateful. Yeah, I mean, I-it was — seriously, it was the definite turning point in the custody fight. You know what I remember about that day? What? I just genuinely wanted to do the right thing. And even though in my heart, I wish that things could have been different for nelle, and for me, the — the fact that things turned out the way they did for wiley, I was so thankful for. And that part, I will never question or regret, because he has you two. Josslyn: I’m sorry. I’m not mad at you. No, I know you’re not. It’s nina I’m mad at. But I’ve got to say, it kind of seems like you’re defending her. No, I’m not defending nina. What nina did was indefensible. But… do I feel empathy for her? Yes, okay? Because I’ve been at a place in my life where I’ve convinced myself out of fear or anger or pain that doing something wrong was okay. I’ve been there. So I’m not — I’m not really in a position to judge her. Are you, carly? Well, I really hadn’t thought about it, ’cause I was on my medication, so… I was doing well. That’s good. I’m glad. But you’re — you’re right. Um, I got to check it out. I got to take care of myself. You and carly talk about this, uh, about me? Yeah, of course. I mean, it’s a — it’s a big deal that you’re back. There’s a lot to figure out. Sorry you got stuck with this and, yeah, you know, all this hell that you’ve been through, and I-I wasn’t there to help you. It’s not your fault. No, it’s not. It’s nina’S.

[Music: “I swear”]Jaycee tried gain flings for the firs mm. Okay. That happened. I know. You’re a good kisser. Um, we need to sober up. I thought you said you weren’t drunk. Okay, you need to sober up. Oh, where’s the fun in that? Uh, so, I’m gonna get us a gallon of water, a gallon of coffee, and then we’re gonna sober up, and we’re gonna go back to the hospital. Oh, I want to hear more about your socks. Oh, boy. Be right back. Hi. Uh, I need two ice waters, two large coffees, uh, please and thank you. Of course. Yeah. Okay. Wow. Victor cassadine didn’t die in that explosion at crichton-clark. No, he survived and has been pulling strings ever since. To what extent, I’m not certain. All I know is that while on my way to st. Lucia — st. Lucia? To kill peter, which he so richly deserved — I was abducted and wound up here, with a pit stop at victor’s lavish compound. Huh. Bet you’re missing that place right about now. The company’s better here. So let me get this straight. Victor and peter are working together because peter wants to find his daughter. Yes. But peter is an incredible lowlife. I mean, victor has got to know that. Oh, please. Anyone who’s met peter for five minutes knows that. So then what’s in it for victor? I mean, obviously, he’s not doing it from the goodness of his heart, so what is he getting out of this arrangement? Alright, I think you probably want some alone time with wiley. Want to take a walk with me? I would love nothing more. Did you get the feeling that something was going on with nina, like she was upset or lost or…I don’t know. I don’t know. It’s probably part of the reason why she’s here, right? Seeing wiley will be good for her. It always does wonders for me. Hey, can I help you with this? Okay. Listen, I’m sorry I was gone for so long. Oh, it’s okay. We got to make up for lost time, right? Yeah.

[ Voice breaking ] Lost time might be all we have left. Sonny, what — what are you talking about? Nina who? Reeves. Re– I-I don’t — I don’t understand. Remember phyllis who I told you about? She hired me to work at her bar? Um, she was friends with nina. Nina left port charles to come and see phyllis. And she saw me. And I was, uh — you know, she knew that I was dead, but she saw me alive. She knew where I was. For how — for how long? Well, pretty much most of the time. So she — she — she knew, but she didn’t say anything to anybody? Yeah, it was complicated. That doesn’t sound that complicated to me. Well, what happened is nina was upset at carly over the whole nelle thing and then the — the wiley thing spilled over. I know, but we went through hell, sonny. Yeah, I know you did. I know you did. Carly and the kids, they were devastated. And now you’re telling me that they didn’t have to be devastated, that nina held the key to all this pain, and she didn’t use it? I get that you’re angry. And I’m angry, also. You’re not angry enough. I’ve done some terrible, questionable things. But that doesn’t justify what nina did. She stole sonny’s life for months, maxie! And for what?! Out of spite?! I mean, she literally took sonny’s free will and sat back and watched his family grieve. So no. Nina doesn’t get an excuse. I don’t disagree with you. You know, what you did today is the opposite of what nina did to sonny. She kept him a secret because it suited her. You came here and you told me the truth because you believed I deserved to know. Okay, I’m gonna feel really bad if I don’t say this, but… I still love nina, even though she did something very wrong. Well, that’s the painful part of loving someone… who messes up, right? But this was nina’s choice. And she’s gonna have to live with the consequences.

You’re a very shrewd man, drew. You cut right to the heart of it. Victor never does anything without an ulterior motive. There’s always a goal he’s working towards. And peter is helping him achieve that goal. Peter has something victor wants or needs or plans to acquire. And I hope he gets it, because once he’s no longer useful to victor, that will be the end of peter august. But none of which helps us. I don’t know about you, but I’m not gonna wait around to find out how it plays out between those two psychos. I’m getting the hell out of here. Music to my ears.

[ Cell door opens ] Time’s up. This man is very ill. His kidney may be bruised. I need to see him again soon. I’ll tell the boss. Let’s go. Um, excuse me, sir? Uh, uh, excus– do you speak english?

[ Chuckles ] Yes. Uh, sorry. I know. Tourist. Um, I’m headed to the U.S. Consul hospital to check on a patient there, and my friend is asleep upstairs. Uh, I may not be back until the morning. Mm. Not to worry. I’ll make sure your friend gets the message. Oh, thank you. Mm. I appreciate that. Night. Um, I loved your playing.

[ Speaks greek ] This woman stole nine months from you, nine months where you weren’t living your life with your wife and your kids. Why aren’t you furious? I-i was furious. But what’s the point? Nina, you know, she’s a sad woman. Her mother screwed her over. She went through a bad period in her life. She finds out she has a child, and it’s nelle. That would mess anybody up. I’m not making excuses. She absolutely should have told the truth. She made a bad decision. It’s more than one bad decision, sonny. She took so much from you. I’m not happy about that. But I don’t — I don’t see the point in wasting my energy hating her. I mean… maybe I just don’t want to — maybe I just don’t want to let myself get angry. I’m gonna have to talk to a psychiatrist about that one. Well, that sounds like a plan. Let’s get out of here. We got to get — get rid of this. This should have been gone yesterday. Okay, say cheese. Cheese. Cheese! Can you make a silly face for me?

[ Growls ] I don’t know how to —

[ Laughing ] Yes, you do. Mr. Wiley, you have another visitor. Well, of course he does, ’cause he’s irresistible.

[ Chuckles ] Can you take wiley? We’re going to need some time alone. Yuri: Of course. Come on. Wiley? Fist bump. You stole sonny’s life. And, bitch, you’re gonna pay.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you okay, yuri? You need anything? I’ll be over here, looking, uh… how you say, discreet. Oh, yeah. That’s you. Discreet with a capital “D.”

[ Sighs ] Okay. Hi, I’m here. I’m here. Hi. Okay, so is yuri, so there’s no need to worry. There’s also two plainclothes officers outside. And as far as worrying goes, that feels like all I’m doing lately. First, I thought peter was gonna come after… you, and now I’m afraid I’m his target. Someone really did a number on you, didn’t they? Who did this? Peter? Or someone else? Either way, you’re safe now.

[ Door opens ] Hi. How is she? Just as the doctor said. She’s still unconscious.

[ Door closes ] Any luck? No, I mean, not much beyond her name. I can’t lose britta. Not after losing my nathan. I have no choice but to trust that you’ll keep your word. Oh, don’t worry, my darling. The worst is over now. Wrong again, darling. I shot you once and left you for dead. You survived. This time… you won’t be so lucky. Liesl, liesl, liesl. Are you sure this is how you want to play this?

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Oh. Hi. Hi.

[ Door closes ] I saw one of those trivia night fliers upstairs. You interested? Oh, I don’t know. I hadn’t really given it much thought. Yeah. Yeah, me neither. Anyway, I’ve got to, um… get these files upstairs. Of course. I’ll, um… I’ll see you around. Okay. I’ll see you. Okay. Okay. What’s up with you and elizabeth? You need to stop fooling yourself. Mike’s gone. You need to forget that he ever existed. I will never forget. I will never forget what mike and I shared together. You had nothing with me, nina. You were in love with some guy that you thought I was. Let’s — let’s start with that. Tending bar in nixon falls, mopping the floors. That’s not — if I wanted to do that, I would have stayed in brooklyn! That — that wasn’t my life plan, and it still isn’T. So is this — this is your life? Are you happy with this life here in port charles? Yeah. With my wife, my kids, and my business. Even though you wish it wasn’T. I got to go. I got to talk to diane about this buscema and novak thing. I know the cops are going to call me down. So… jason, there’s something we need to talk about. What are we gonna tell sonny? How do we make this okay for him? What — what do you mean by okay? Sonny doesn’t know our marriage was almost real, and it doesn’t matter because it’s over. I know that. But sonny’s been gone for nine months, and unless he said something to you, I have no idea how he’s been dealing with his bipolar disorder or if he’s been dealing with it at all. I looked on ancestry and just started digging and found some really cool stuff… it was just a lot of fun. Just to talk to my parents about it and to send it to my grandparents and be like, hey this person we’re all related to look at this crazy stuff they did in arizona 100 years ago. It actually gives you a picture of their life, so you get to feel like you’re walking the same path they did.

Oh, hey. Thanks for the assist the other day. Hmm? Keeping britt’s mind off her mother. Oh, right. Yeah, she totally saw right through it, but was grateful nonetheless. Dare I say I think britt might be growing on me? Stranger things have happened. Biz. Yeah? You seem distracted. Everything okay? I’m being as safe as i physically can be, so I know I’m being irrational. Hey, those are the same instincts that are gonna keep you away from peter, so you listen to them. There’s no harm in a little extra caution. Thank you for arranging this. Of course. Just remember — if anyone asks, we are here on deception business. Oh, right. Got it.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, maxie. Brook lynn. Hey. Oh, and look at you! Bailey’s getting so big. Champion eater, this one. Oh! I’m surprised to see you here. I thought you’d be at home celebrating. Celebrating what? Carly and jason’s wedding? Wait. You haven’t heard? Obviously not. Sonny’s alive.

[ Gasps ] Were you happy as mike? How do I answer that? Well, it’s simple. Were you happy as mike? Yeah, I was happy, but I didn’t know what I was missing. Well, doesn’t that tell you something? That there’s this happy, nonviolent, better guy living inside of you just waiting to come out? No. You know what that tells me? That — that the guy had amnesia. But the real me was still in there. You remember when there was trouble and I would take care of the situation? True. Right. Yes. We met — when we went to c-corinth, remember that guy? Yes. And I was terrified that you were going to hurt the guy or worse — that sonny would come out. But there was mike. You were kind to him. Because I made the smart move, nina. I may not always be right, but I don’t like to think that I’m stupid. Why would I beat the hell out of the guy when I can make him my ally? You got to look at a situation and turn it into your advantage. Yeah, I think that’s part of it, but I don’t believe it’s all of it. You gotta listen to me, okay? I’m sorry…that you fell in love with mike. And he fell in love with me. That was an illusion, plain and simple. We don’t know anything about what’s been going on with sonny the whole time he’s been gone. No, we don’T. I mean, he seems okay, which makes me think he’s got his hands on some kind of medication, but I don’t know. Maybe he hasn’T. Maybe he doesn’t think he needs it anymore. I mean, you are — you are right. Sonny, uh, seems pretty — pretty level. Although there were times before where he was on medication and he seemed level, and then he crashed. And if anything’s going to make him crash… …it’s this. Us. More importantly, how are you? I finally got the all clear from my physical therapist. Back to work? Back to work. Back to everything… that’s great, chase. That’s really great. Maybe just try to go easy in the gym, will you? Yeah, I’ve been warned. Yeah, but will you listen? So, you and elizabeth? From what I saw on the camping trip, things seemed to be progressing between you two. I guess they were. Well, what happened? It’s more like what didn’t happen. We almost kissed. So, chloe abandoned her car after the accident, and she made her way into this little village where she said she was an american, she gave them her name, and then she collapsed. So the local authorities were alerted, and then when the american consul ran her name and identity — she was listed as a missing person. Exactly. And that alerted the wsb because she was already on their register. Mm-hmm. Because the fake chloe had used her id when kidnapping maxie and the baby. But how the real chloe ended up here is anyone’s guess. It’s got to be peter, right? Mm. But I don’t remember faison having a base of operations here in greece. Other than the work he did for helena. Of course. Cassadine island is right close, isn’t it?

[ Sighs ] One of the things I’ve always found so sexy about you is your intelligence. So let’s review the situation. Obviously, you’re on my compound with a full staff keeping watch. So do you really think pulling a knife on me is your best strategy? It’s the only strategy. I’m not available to be your prisoner. I’m getting out of here and going home to my daughter.

[ Scoffs ] You didn’t used to be nearly this sentimental. Losing my son changed me. It made me understand what is important and what is not. What is worth it and what is not. Clearly a lesson you have never learned. So in case there’s any doubt? Yes, victor. I will kill you to get back to my only remaining child. In a heartbeat.

Last I heard, almost kissing was a good thing. I don’t know. It was just a moment. I’m — I’m not sure elizabeth wanted it to happen. Why would you say that? Well, it’s just a little awkward between us now. I mean, you saw us. I did. But vibes were coming from both you guys. Did you want the kiss to happen? I got a little lost looking into her eyes. Mm. If scott hadn’t fallen from the sky, who knows? You’d still be kissing her right now, huh? Listen, I just — I don’t want to… I don’t want to push anything, alright? If elizabeth’s not into it or if she’s having second thoughts, I — I understand that. Okay. But what if she’s neither of those things? Things were going really well, and the kids were off with chase. Finn and i had a moment alone… and…? And we were this close to kissing when scott showed up. Parachute and all. Yeah. Okay. So you were interrupted. Big deal. Just pick up where you left off. That’s the thing. I’m not sure finn wants to. I’m sorry rekindling our relationship isn’t in the cards, but I still… I still don’t think that our time together has been a waste of time.

Nein?

Nein. See, it’s given me a — a chance to see you in a whole new light, to appreciate you even more. I see how much you loved your son, liesl. I regret that he wasn’t mine. I also regret that we’re going to have to do this the hard way. Oh, don’t worry. I won’t kill you unless I absolutely have to. I don’t think he’ll see it the same way. Hello, liesl. It was so surreal to walk into that room and see sonny. I mean, not only alive, but smiling. I mean, I did not know what to feel first. It was a roller coaster of emotion, from shock to joy and confusion to relief. I can’t even imagine. When I first heard, I was blown away. Oh, yeah, that’s an understatement. Wait, how did you find out? Oh, uh, I hear things from… people who know stuff. Oh, that’s just so weird. I mean, sonny only came home to my mom and jason. On their wedding night. Oh, that’s a whole other story. But then dante showed up, and kristina, michael, and i got the text to come over, and… I’m sorry. Is dante the one who shared the news? Forget that I was married. I had an entire life, nina. What did you think you — you were gonna do? It was just gonna go on indefinitely? Even if — if I, you know, didn’t get my memory back, that humble bartender was so far from who I am. You’re right. I was in denial. Like 100% complete in denial. But let me make something really clear. There wasn’t one morning — not one — that I didn’t wake up and say to myself, “today is the day that I’m going to tell him the truth and make things right.” But you didn’T. I didn’t because I would see you smile. I’d see how peaceful you were, how happy. And all my willpower would just evaporate. It’s like nixon falls was this parallel world where only good things happen. There’s no pain. You weren’t in danger.

[ Voice breaking ] I never meant to hurt you. You didn’t think it hurt me to be away from my family? To leave carly and jason to pick up the pieces? You were great. We were great together. But it wasn’t real.

[ Sighs ] I mean, look. The vows we said, the life that we thought we would have, it’s — it’s not going to happen. And the feelings, these are going to go away in time, and we’re just gonna get back to normal. But if sonny finds out our plan was to have a real marriage… you know how sonny operates. And paranoia is huge for him when he’s having a manic episode. And if he’s having a manic episode, we don’t — we don’t know. Yeah. And if he is, the worst thing that can happen is for sonny to become paranoid against us — the two people who can help him.

It’s complicated, you know? I don’t get what’s so complicated. You and elizabeth are both adults who work in the same field, who spent weeks upon weeks trying to save my life. Thank you for that, by the way. Yeah, no problem. It makes sense that you guys would have grown closer together. Yes, but that was a heightened situation. So? So, you’re fine now, thank god, and things are going back to normal. Exactly. Now you and elizabeth have a chance to explore things between you in a regular, everyday setting. That’s what worries me.

[ Sighs ] When chase was sick, it was a distraction. From losing franco, you mean? Yeah. And working with finn to keep his brother alive was all-consuming, and it’s exactly what I needed. Not to mention, we made a pretty great team. You sure did. Spending all that time together… you got closer. It felt that way. It looked that way, too. But now I don’t know. I don’t know. Now that things have calmed down and we’ve both taken a step back… maybe I mistook our teamwork for something else. No, no, you’re right. Cassadine island is not far away. It’s about 20 minutes by boat. Are you okay with that? How does it feel being so close? I will say I’ve got some mixed emotions. Uh, I left the island when I was 6. I don’t remember having any fond memories there. What really bothers me is that nikolas got the entire inheritance. In such a dramatic way. So typical of helena to set things up that way. Absolutely. But the fact of the matter is it was not my money to inherit. I’m not a cassadine. I’m not beholden to mikkos or helena. I am the man that I made myself to be. You’re your own person. You know what? What? I think I’m starting to like him. I think I am, too. Well, you certainly took your time. Oh, I’m sorry. I was busy launching myself off a cliff to escape anna and valentin. Mm, and I was busy arranging your retrieval. Oh, and you’re welcome. You two are working together? Not that it’s any of your concern, liesl, since you tried to kill me. I tried to kill you because you deserve it. My only regret is that it didn’t work. He is a despicable excuse for a human being. Mm, perhaps. But he does have his uses. I trust that you took care of that mess in pennsylvania. Yes, I burned that hole-in-the-wall bar to the ground. Oh, and your niece was inside. Nina? I doubt that anyone survived. So, now that I’ve tied off one loose end, time to tie off another.

[ Dramatic music plays ] You know what, josslyn? One thing I have learned is never, ever ask maxie her sources. She just knows things, and we get to take advantage of that.

[ Laughs ] Mm. Anyways, let’s backtrack for a second. Sonny is alive? This is incredible. What happened? When he fell into the water after that bridge collapsed, he didn’t drown. He washed ashore in a small town in pennsylvania with no memory of who he was. Wow, that’s crazy. I know. I guess some nice people took him in and he’s been living there for the past nine months without any idea that he had this entire other life waiting for him. But he’s okay? Yeah. I cannot wait to see him. I-I don’t want to push myself on him if he’s overwhelmed or anything. I mean, is sonny really doing okay? You keep saying that it wasn’t real, and I understand that. I really do. But at the same time, it happened, sonny. We fell in love. Don’t say “we.” Okay, mike and I, we fell in love. And you were mike. No. No, i wasn’t mike. You had — you had feelings for somebody that wasn’t me. And I get the feeling that you don’t — you don’t even like who I am. I think you don’t like sonny corinthos very much. No, I just did– I — you — I just didn’t know sonny — you — very well. And I believed you had every reason to hate me. I read the stories. And the articles. And, yes, that made me see you in a more negative light, but mike didn’t happen in a vacuum. That kindness, that love, that patience, willingness to listen… all of that came from you, sonny. You have those qualities. I just didn’t know that. So all of this — all of me saying that mike was a better version of you — it was just me judging you because I didn’t really know you.

[ Crying ] I didn’t know you. And obviously, now I never will.

[ Sighs ] Everyone was there, jason. They saw us. At our wedding. Including michael. I mean, michael knows it was more than just politics for us, or at least it was going to be, and… I mean, what if sonny gets suspicious and he starts asking questions? What are you gonna tell him? I mean, if sonny asks about us… I’m gonna — I’m gonna tell him the truth. That we wanted a real marriage. But it didn’t get that far because sonny came back and everything changed. But what I need you to hold onto is that we didn’t do anything wrong.

[ Indistinct conversations, telephone ringing ] Okay. First thing I’m going to caution you against is trying to put yourself into finn’s head. You have no idea what he’s thinking, biz. Oh, but don’t I, though? Last night, when we were talking about doing a redo on the camping trip, all he brought up was the kids. Nothing about the almost-kiss. Mm-hmm. And did you bring it up? No, but there was a reason for that. Like what? Like maybe it’s just too soon. Not only for finn, but for me, too. I don’t believe that for one second. Elizabeth lost her husband not that long ago, and I’m — I’m pretty fresh off a bad breakup. Okay, “fresh” might be a little bit of a stretch. You know what I’m saying. Maybe the timing is just not right. Maybe the timing is perfect. Not to mention violet. Who adores elizabeth. Thinks she walks on water. Exactly. You saw how hard this was on violet when anna and i ended things. Say — say elizabeth and I, we do get close… and then it doesn’t work out. I’m not gonna put my daughter through that again. You’re right. I am? Yeah, I don’t think you should get involved with anyone ever again in the slight off chance that it just might not work out. That’s not what I’m saying. Yes, it is. Dr. Yuan: Brains can and do heal. We’re hoping for the best with ms. Jennings. Do you have any idea when she might come out of it? I’m sorry, I don’T. There’s no timetable for this. What can you actually tell us about her condition? She has a concussion, most likely from a car accident. She was also dehydrated, disoriented. She had clearly come from some kind of stressful situation. Okay, so probably not a person who ran off the road while drunk on vacation. No. Hm, sounding more and more like chloe was being held against her will. What are you doing? Liesl is my guest. So? You’re not calling the shots here — I am. Put the gun down. Take whatever you want. The knife, my life — I don’t care. Just let me kill him first. W-wait —

that’s the trade? Yes. You stupid, pathetic woman — whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Let me think about this. Sonny seems great. Yeah? I mean, I don’t know. I don’t really have a scale to judge it on. Last night was amazing and wonderful. He was so happy to see us, and of course, we were just as happy to see him. I mean, he seemed like the sonny I’ve always known. Did he tell you what he’s been up to, or…? You know, he didn’t say much. But I’m sure he will once he settles in. That makes sense. Yeah. You know, he says that he knew where he was and what he was doing. But, you know, nine months…

[ Chuckles lightly] It’s kind of a long time, and I’m sure there’s holes. Look, maxie, I don’t want to put you on the spot, and I totally get the “don’t reveal your sources” thing, but if you do know something, it’d be great if you could tell my mom. Yeah, yeah, I think you’re right, josslyn. I definitely need to talk to carly. Look, we never would have let ourselves go down this road if sonny hadn’t disappeared. No, of course not. I-I don’t want sonny to think that he’s in our way. Or that we’re still together. Because we’re not. No, we’re not. But we don’t want to… there’s nothing to hide. And sonny’s just gonna pick up on that. Okay, so let’s just take this step by step. Okay. Okay. Just, um… I’ll talk to sonny about his bipolar disorder, and then we’ll just take it one day at a time. And, uh, if he asks any questions, we just tell him the truth. Tell the truth. I really hope he doesn’t ask. My reckoning day has come, hasn’t it? All the lies I told, all the people I left to grieve for you. They’re gonna feel betrayed, and they should, because that’s what I did. Betrayed so many people, and I betrayed the trust that we had with each other. And I betrayed michael and our grandson. You didn’t lose that connection, did you? What? When you were video chatting with wiley, that call wasn’t dropped. You ended it ’cause you didn’t want me to see my family. Yeah. Out of all the choices I could have made, I chose the one that would alienate everybody. And now I have to live with the anger and resentment. Theirs… and yours.

And then there’s the whole violet angle. You are shutting this down before it’s even begun. No, I’m not. Yes, you are. You are way overthinking this. No, I’m trying to be an adult. And do you want to be a happy adult? Of course I do. Okay. Does elizabeth make you happy? Yes. I love spending time with finn. Then get out of your own way already. Talk to her, actually see where you are with each other, and then maybe you’ll find out that you guys are actually on the same page. And if you don’t — no harm, no foul. But you’ll never know if you don’t try. Okay. Okay. Okay. So, when you put it like that… didn’t think your little brother could be so wise, did you? No, I didn’T. Let’s not go overboard. I’m here for advice anytime you need me — oh, my god, I’ve created a monster. It’s like — I can’t do this anymore. I got work to do, alright? Just show yourself out. You cannot be serious. As tempting as I find your offer, the truth is… I can’t trust you. But you trust him?! Oh, peter and I have our own arrangement. Then you are a bigger imbecile than I thought. The second he sees his opening, he’ll double-cross you. Well, that’s just a chance I’ll have to take.

[ Dramatic music plays ] I loved our wedding. And our reception. And I’m gonna treasure those memories for the rest of my life. But that’s private. That’s for me and that’s for you. And I’m not trying to shut sonny out. It’s just he wasn’t there. He wasn’t a part of it. And to try and explain that to him is only gonna cause tension — look, I know — carly. First of all, it’s — it’s sonny, okay? And the three of us have been through way worse than this. And it’s a good thing that he’s back. Oh, I know. It’s a miracle. I mean, it’s — it’s what I’ve prayed for every moment that he was gone. But at the same time, it’S… it’s disorienting. I know. There’s gonna be bumps. There’s always gonna be bumps. But we have him. And he has us. And it’s gonna be okay.

[ Chuckles ] I love that about you. When you say that it’s gonna be okay, you mean it. Now you say it.

[ Laughs ] Go ahead. It’s gonna be okay. ‘S gonna be all right. Let me tell you something, nina. And this is coming from experience. It’s — it’s never a good thing to play god with someone’s life. And that’s what you did. And now there’s gonna be a fallout. I know. And I’m sorry about that, because, uh, I have to be honest — aside from the first initial impulse to get back at carly, I don’t think you did anything with malice. I think that you made a mistake and you just kept going on. That pretty much sums it up, doesn’t it? And for what it’s worth, I truly am really sorry. I hope you don’t suffer from my mistakes.

[ Sighs ]

You ready to go? Da. I order a avocado on toast for monica. Aww, that was so sweet of you, yuri. I’m sure monica will really appreciate that. But we have bigger fish to fry. Peter august. Yeah, he’s still out there. The guy’s got a screw loose. For all we know, peter might be planning a full-blown assault on the house. Well, if he tries, it’ll be the last thing he ever does. I won’t know let anyone get near you or that baby. I think we should head to the village, conduct a few interviews, maybe see if someone saw chloe or the car or both. You never know what kind of details you can turn up. I think that’s a good idea. Let’s go. I would like you to notify me if she wakes up. Will do. Thank you.

[ Monitor beeping ] Hi again. Hi. [ Chuckles ] Maybe we should make ourselves scarce. I think that’s the best bet. So. So. So, how are you at trivia? Oh…

[ Scoffs ] Not great. Ah. But it’s more about fun than skill, right? Right. Right, and — and it’s for a really good cause. Yeah, exactly. So, um… maybe next wednesday? Yeah. Okay. I’ll be there.

[ Sighs ] Stop this at once! Victor: I’m so sorry it had to come to this. Where are you taking me?! I look forward to seeing you soon. Victor! We can negotiate! Peter: It’s a mistake keeping her alive. She’s dangerous. Take it from someone who knows. Oh, I’m well aware that she’s dangerous — to you. That’s why I locked her up. Then why take the risk when you can just get rid of her? That’s for me to know and you… not to.

[ Chuckles ] You’re not nearly as smart as you think you are, victor. We’re done here.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Yes. What do you have for me? Ms. Jennings just had two visitors from the wsb.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Good. You’re here.

[ Door closes ] Hey, maxie. What’s going on? Maxie has something she wants to tell you.

[ Dramatic music plays ] Hey, dad. I’m home. Took me a while, but I finally made it. That wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for you coming to me in the woods. You saved my life. And, you know, I-I… your watch — I, uh… I-I threw it away. I mean, it…

[ Sighs ] It’s a long story. But… hey. Hey. Glad you’re here. First things first — can we get rid of that thing?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Philip: Good morning.

Chloe: Good–good morning. What is that?

Philip: It’s for you.

Chloe: Oh, and what is the occasion?

Philip: It’s national strawberry pie day. You didn’t know?

Chloe: Oh, well, how many pies are in there? No, seriously, what’s in there?

Philip: Why don’t you open it up, find out?

Jake: Hey.

Brady: Hey, jake. Uh, what are you doing here?

Jake: I was picking up my dry cleaning across the street. Thought I’d stop in and say hello.

Brady: Oh. How did you know where I live?

Jake: I sent you a fruit basket when you got shot, remember? Back when I was your boss?

Brady: Ah.

Jake: Anyway, I was in the area, and I thought I’d check in. See how that talk with your grandfather went.

Brady: Oh, the talk that you wanted me to have with him about philip, where you and gabi were concerned about the way in which philip is running titan?

Jake: Yeah, exactly.

Brady: Funny thing, jake, is I don’t–I don’t remember confirming that I was going to have that talk with my grandfather. So how exactly do you know that I did?

Gabi: Oh, yes. I would love a cup.

Rafe: I thought you moved out–again.

Gabi: I’m back–again.

Nicole: This is totally out of order.

[Sighs] There’s gotta be a stapler remover somewhere.

Ej: Nicole? Sorry. Didn’t mean to startle you.

Nicole: Once again, the big boss shows up unannounced. You know, the last time you were here, you told me to hire xander or I would be let go.

Ej: That’s exactly what I’ve come to discuss.

Xander: Gwen. How did you get in here?

Gwen: I have my ways. Are you all right?

Xander: I’m fine. They’ll have me out of these clothes and into a jumpsuit any minute now, I’m sure.

Gwen: Oh, my goodness. You look absolutely exhausted. You must be starving too. You didn’t get to have your dinner before rafe dragged you out last night.

Xander: Oh, I hope you didn’t let all that room service go to waste.

Gwen: Come on, are you joking? I’ve lost my appetite. You shouldn’t even be in this mess; I’m the one who dragged you here in the first place. I’m so sorry, xander.

Xander: Don’t be. ‘Cause like I said, you’re worth it.

Gwen: After everything you’ve done for me, I promise I’m going to make this up to you. I’m going to get you out of here no matter what it takes.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Rafe: So ava said that you and jake got into some sort of fight with her yesterday and then you just took off?

Gabi: No, she picked the fight with me. That pushy, obnoxious–

Rafe: Just tell me what happened.

Gabi: All right. Long story short, I am sick of your girlfriend’s crap, so jake and I decided to move back to the dimera mansion, but that didn’t happen.

Rafe: Why not? You own the place.

Gabi: That’s what I thought, but when I got there, I told chad and ej to start packing. Jake shouldn’t have to live with those traitors. But they didn’t leave.

Rafe: You didn’t make them leave?

Gabi: I couldn’T. Turns out ej owns the house now. The snake pulled a dirty trick and stole it out from under me.

Rafe: Hmm. Sorry to hear that.

Gabi: Ej–ej’s the one that’s gonna be sorry, ’cause I am not gonna take this lying down. I already have my lawyers on it.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. But in the meantime, you’ll be here for a while.

Gabi: I didn’t think you minded having us.

Rafe: I don’T. But I do mind the way you treat my girlfriend.

Gabi: Well, it’s not my fault you’re dating a heartless bitch.

Rafe: Oh my–

Gabi: It’s true.

Ava: Good morning to you two.

Nicole: So do you have another ultimatum for me? Oh, I can’t wait to hear it!

Ej: There’s no need for sarcasm. You know I only use such tactics as a last resort–and you weren’t being very cooperative.

Nicole: About working with the man who destroyed my marriage? No, I wasn’t, sorry. But I did hear that xander was in jail, so now I’m just hoping he never gets out.

Ej: Xander’s been terminated. He didn’t hold up his end of the bargain to return the money samantha paid him. So I’ve rescinded my legal services as well as the job offer. You’ll never see him in this office again.

Nicole: Really?

Ej: As far as I’m concerned, xander cook can rot in jail for the rest of his miserable life.

Xander: This is not your fault, gwen. It’s ej dimera’S. He’s the one who got the judge to make the charges against me go away, and when I can snap my fingers and get him back the money the cops confiscated, he got me arrested again.

Gwen: Xander, you don’t belong here. You didn’t even commit a bloody crime.

Xander: I’ve committed plenty, just not the ones I’m currently accused of.

Gwen: You are not staying behind bars.

Xander: Gwen, darling, are you, uh, suggesting a jailbreak? ‘Cause that would be incredibly sexy.

Gwen: No. That’s not what I’m suggesting.

[Sighs] I’m saying that I want to make things right.

Xander: You don’t have to worry about that.

Gwen: I’m the one who’s running drugs for snyder. I’m the one who should be arrested. And I’m not allowing you take the blame for me any longer.

Xander: So what are you gonna do?

Gwen: What I should’ve done a long time ago. I’m going to confess.

Xander: No, gwen. You can’t confess.

Gwen: But I wouldn’t say the whole truth, would I? I would say to the police what I told my father– that snyder knew that I was a hooker.

Xander: Sex worker.

Gwen: Sorry, yes. Snyder knew I was a sex worker, and that he used that information to make me run drugs for him.

Xander: You’d still be admitting to a felony.

Gwen: It’s to get you out of here.

Xander: But it wouldn’T. I’m not in here ’cause I’m guilty. I’m in here because ej dimera has a judge under his thumb. So if you confess, all it’s gonna do is– you’ll just end up hurting yourself. It won’t change anything.

Gwen: Okay, but xander, I can’t just bloody sit here and do nothing, can I?

Xander: Stop blaming yourself–maybe this is just karma catching up with me.

Gwen: Me too. God. We finally take a risk and we put our feelings out there and we– what the bloody hell am I talking about? I don’t give up, and neither do you.

Xander: Well, look, unless you’re willing to revisit the jailbreak concept, I don’t think we have a lot of other moves.

Gwen: Rubbish. Right, move number one: We are gonna get you a bloody fantastic lawyer.

Xander: Called around last night. Started with the top-tier firms, worked my way down to the ambulance chasers. Every single one of them refused to represent me.

Gwen: Why?

Xander: The instant i mentioned ej was the author of all my problems, every single one of them hung up on me.

Gwen: Come on, surely there must be somebody in this stupid town who has a law license who isn’t terrified of the dimeras. Ah!

[Laughs] And here he is.

Nicole: It’s not like xander went on a spending spree with the cash that sami paid him to ruin my marriage. The cops are holding it as evidence.

Ej: Are you suggesting I give him a second chance?

Nicole: Oh, god, no, no, no. That animal deserves to be in a cage for all the horrible things that he has done. I just figured that when the charges were dropped that would be the end of it. So how did they suddenly just reappear?

Ej: Let’s just say the less you know, the better. Is it take your daughter to work day?

Nicole: What? No, no, that’s–

Ej: Don’t worry, nicole. I’m not going to punish you for violating company policy.

Nicole: I did not bring holly to work, and that is not her bear.

Ej: Oh, so it’s yours?

Nicole: Actually, it belongs to rafe hernandez.

Gabi: Buenos días to you too.

Rafe: Gabi, I think that you owe ava an apology.

Gabi: Why? Wha–what I said is nothing compared to the things she said to me.

Rafe: Okay, well maybe she only said those things because you provoked her.

Gabi: [Gasps] What? Why are you taking her side? I am your sister!

Rafe: Ava is my girlfriend.

Gabi: Oh, and every time you say that makes my skin crawl. Listen, I know that it’s hard out there, and it might be you’re really scraping the bottom of the barrel with–

Rafe: This is exactly what I am talking about. You cannot say those kinds of things to ava, okay?

Gabi: Maybe I’d be nicer if she wasn’t in my face all the time.

Rafe: You’re the one who decided to move back in here.

Gabi: This is my house! I grew up here!

Rafe: I pay the mortgage.

Gabi: Oh, my god, rafe. Seriously, are you saying I’m the one that has to move out?

Ava: Okay, stop, please. Please stop; I don’t want the two of you fighting over me. If it would make things easier if I found my own place…

Rafe: No, no, no. I never said that.

Gabi: I am.

Ava: Okay. Rafe, family means everything to me, and I know you feel the same way.

Rafe: Yeah. I am not asking you to move out. I am asking for my sister to be reasonable and take the high road for once–like you are.

Ava: I thought you’d like to know in advance that gabi hernandez dimera is plotting against you.

Philip: Plotting against me how?

Ava: Well, she and your new corporate spy. They’re planning to oust you from titan and take over themselves.

Jake: I happened to be passing by the kiriakis place last night and saw your car and figured you were there talking to victor, you know, since you seemed pretty concerned about what gabi and I told you.

Brady: You happen to know what kind of car I drive?

Jake: Well, it’s a pretty sweet ride. I used to be a mechanic. I pay attention to these things.

Brady: I see. You know, I know that you used to be in the mob, right? So is this your not-so-subtle way of letting me know that you’re keeping tabs on me?

Chloe: [Gasps] Oh my goodness. Fire and ice roses. They’re gorgeous. Mm. I can’t believe you remembered.

[Sentimental music]

Philip: How could i ever forget?

Chloe: After all these years, you’re still surprising me. Where did you even find these?

Philip: I went back to the nursery to ask how to take care of our tree. Saw these, and i couldn’t resist.

Chloe: That is so thoughtful. Thank you.

Philip: You’re welcome. As for our sapling, it’s still freshly planted, so it’s gonna need a little tlc until it takes root. That’s what this is for. The nursery owner said it was her top recommendation for a 22nd anniversary gift.

Chloe: Uh, it seems a little bit random, no?

Philip: Apparently, it’s the water anniversary, which got me thinking– it’s been 22 years since we met.

Chloe: 22 years? That’s crazy.

Philip: You’ve always been the one that got away. I made so many mistakes back then.

Chloe: We both did.

Philip: But I learned from them, chloe. And I promise you I’m gonna take perfect care of our tree–and of you. When I heard about the science behind the new

Gwen: Thank god somebody from xander’s family actually cared enough to show up. Thank you very much, justin. Justin is it? Yes, thank you very much for offering to represent xander.

Justin: Oh, no, that’s not why I’m here.

Xander: It’s not?

Justin: No, no, I came down to see bonnie.

Xander: Oh, we haven’t seen her, actually, but if I do, we’re gonna have a nice, sweet chat about taking stuff that doesn’t belong to you.

Gwen: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait, wait. Okay, look. Since fate has just brought you into this room, can’t you help xander, your cousin, who is innocent?

Justin: I’m sorry, I can’t take on anything else right now. I am working around the clock on bonnie’s case, so–

Gwen: Mm, yeah, yeah. I’m sure that’s a full-time job given that she’s murdered two people in cold blood and stole xander’s money. And that’s the reason that he’s back in jail. So you owe him.

Justin: Bonnie is incredibly remorseful, and there were extreme extenuating circumstances. You know, I can’t do this right now. I have 12 hours to convince judge smails to reconsider bonnie’s bail, so if you’d excuse me–

Xander: Wait, wait, did you say judge smails?

Justin: Yes, why?

Ej: So rafe’s collecting teddy bears now? How unconventional.

Nicole: Well, if you must know, I won this for him in an arcade game. It was kind of a birthday present.

Ej: Mm, and it’s in your possession because…?

Nicole: Well, because duke was–I don’t know, we were–

Ej: Duke?

Nicole: That’s his name.

Ej: Looks more like a sheriff to me. A rather useless one.

Nicole: I don’t have to explain anything to you.

Ej: Mm. I don’t see any possible explanation that wouldn’t be deeply embarrassing for rafe. But that’s rafe hernandez for you, one enormous embarrassment–

Nicole: Okay, would you stop talking about rafe?

Gabi: You know, the only way that ava would take the high road is if she took a wrong turn.

Rafe: Wow. Okay. Here’s the deal. I do not wanna wake up in a war zone every morning.

Gabi: Well, then tell the enemy to retreat.

Rafe: Okay, here’s– the other thing that you seem to fail to recognize is that i want to make this arrangement work, and so does ava. And since you have nowhere else to go at the moment, I would suggest you suck it up and apologize.

Ava: Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That is not necessary.

Rafe: I think it is.

Gabi: What, you’re not gonna ask her to do the same thing?

Rafe: I haven’t heard her say anything that she needs to apologize for.

Gabi: I sure as hell have. Fine. I apologize and, I promise to be more respectful in the future.

Rafe: Maybe you could even say it like you mean it.

Gabi: I apologize, and i promise to be more respectful in the future. There–are you happy?

Jake: Keeping tabs on you? Brady, why would I do that? We’re on the same side here. We both wanna keep your uncle phil from running titan into the ground.

Brady: Now, I want that too. Despite working for the competition, I don’t wanna see my family’s legacy hurt at all. I want it to be okay. But the real question is, why do you care? You’ve been at titan for what– a couple weeks, maybe?

Jake: First of all, I don’t wanna see gabi’s company go down in flames. And secondly, I don’t want a boss who’s got his head up his ass.

Brady: [Laughs] Well, who would you want the boss to be, jake? Maybe you?

Philip: I hope you know how hard I’m working to turn over a new leaf.

Chloe: I know you are. When you came home last night and saw me talking to brady, I could tell that your head wanted to explode, but you were very understanding, and that was nice. It was civilized, it was…

Philip: The way it should be. I do feel bad for accusing him of corporate espionage.

Chloe: But you said you found out some new information, right?

Philip: I think I might actually know who put spyware on my computer.

Chloe: Who?

Philip: This stays between us?

Chloe: Yeah, of course.

Philip: It was gabi and jake. They were working together to get rid of me and take over titan.

Chloe: Oh, my god. After you gave them both a chance.

Philip: I still need to find the proof, but when I do, those two are gonna regret ever thinking they could play me for a fool.

Woo! You are busy…

Chloe: So how did you find out that jake and gabi were really the spies?

Philip: An old business associate tipped me off. Then I remembered when it first told me that they’d found a keylogger on my laptop, I accused gabi of putting it there.

Chloe: And she denied it?

Philip: Even though i caught her red-handed in my office using my computer because hers supposedly wouldn’t start. And right after that, my machine got all glitchy.

Chloe: You should’ve just fired her on the spot.

Philip: I did. Her and jake. But then he said that she was having tech problems as well, and I should have it check her laptop too. And what do you know–spyware.

Chloe: Do you think that they planted spyware proactively?

Philip: Seems that way. But as soon as the heat was off of them, they put it right onto brady. Made me think he was behind it.

Chloe: Which is why you freaked out on him and insisted that I quit my job.

Philip: I’m sorry about that. But my god, it’s all making sense now. Why gabi wanted me to hire jake, why she was soaking suspicion at brady.

Chloe: Well, you know now that brady wasn’t in on it with them. And when I spoke to him last night, he told me he was perfectly happy working at basic black, and he has no interests in using any hostile tactics against titan or us.

Philip: It wasn’t easy to apologize for pointing the finger at him. But I have to admit–the three of us sitting down for a nice, peaceful meal was pretty nice.

Chloe: Yeah. And I think that brady would agree. And now you have to uphold your end of the bargain and never badmouth brady to me again. Promise?

Philip: Not another word against him. I promise.

Chloe: Well, that is a relief, thank you. And I’m sure if you need some help busting jake and gabi, brady will be very happy to help your cause.

Jake: What? You–you think i wanna be the boss?

Brady: Jake, when you and gabi came to me and asked me to talk to my grandfather, I suspected you had ulterior motives, all right?

Jake: No. We approached you because philip’s been acting like a crazy person, okay? Erratic, unfocused– Brady: That part I believed. That part I believed. But now you’re in my place pumping me for information.

Jake: Just curious, that’s all.

Brady: I’ll give you a fun fact, all right? I’ve been ceo of titan not once, not twice, a couple of times. I can smell when the sharks are circling, jake. You know what I mean? So if you want this coup attempt to be successful, you’re gonna have to be a little more slick than this.

Jake: Cool. Brady, get real here. Nobody is gonna make a brand-new employee ceo, right?

Brady: Come on, man. You enjoyed a meteoric rise from a what–mechanic to dimera ceo–till you got thrown out on your ass. And then what happened? Boom–you land at titan with your girlfriend. You’re kidding me? Are you sure you don’t want you and gabi to be the next big power couple in salem?

Jake: Never thought about it that way.

Brady: You can cut the crap now. You and gabby have been used to running your own company. I know you have ideas. You have visions for the future, and you want philip out of the way, right?

Jake: Come on, brady, let’s be honest. Don’t you want the same thing?

Ava: Thank you for your apology, gabi.

Gabi: Go choke on a ravioli.

Ava: She could’ve said a lot worse.

Rafe: Yeah, you could’ve said a lot worse.

Ava: Listen, gabi is her own worst enemy.

Rafe: Could not agree with you more there.

Ava: You know, people used to say the same thing about me. That I couldn’t get out of my own way–and they were absolutely right. You know, most of the heartache that I’ve experienced in my life, a lot of it’s been brought on by myself. Self-inflicted, you know. I’m afraid that gabi is about to go in the same road.

Justin: Do you know judge smails?

Xander: He’s the one who threw the book at me. And as an officer of the court, you should know he’s corrupt as hell.

Justin: Hmm. What makes you say that?

Xander: When ej was my attorney, he got smails to drop the charges against me.

Justin: Well, you weren’t complaining then.

Xander: I agreed to pay mr. Dimera $1 million in exchange for his services. I had the cash all ready to go–

Gwen: And then bonnie stole it.

Xander: And then the police seized it. When I couldn’t pay up immediately, ej punished me by getting the charges reinstated. Now, you tell me, if smails is on the up-and-up, how could that happen? Before you go into that court, you should know that the man you’re dealing with might not necessarily be swayed by the facts of the case.

Gwen: Mm. Not like the facts of our case are really that persuasive, are they? So maybe you and xander can help each other. Yeah.

Limu emu & doug

Justin: How do you think xander and I could possibly help each other?

Gwen: Okay. The judge is dirty, yes. So you use that to encourage him to see bonnie’s case in a more favorable light and do right by xander.

Justin: I have no evidence judge smails has done anything wrong.

Gwen: Don’t worry, we’ll get the evidence. You just get the ball rolling, yeah?

Justin: Oh, so you’re suggesting that I blackmail the judge using evidence I don’t have that he himself is corrupt? Sounds like a winning strategy.

Gwen: Okay, you have to see the bigger picture here, though, okay? Wouldn’t the citizens of salem be well served if we could get this guy out of ej’s pocket?

Justin: Oh, well, I appreciate you reframing this as issue of social importance. But I’ve sworn an oath to the court, and what you’re proposing isn’t exactly kosher.

Gwen: Mm, yeah, well, you are engaged to bonnie lockhart– I would say that the ship’s sailed on being kosher, darling.

Justin: I have a defense to prepare.

Gwen: No–okay, okay, okay. Listen. Let’s say that the judge is as fair and impartial as they come, right? Do you honestly–do you honestly think that bonnie is going to get off on two murder charges? That is a very steep mountain to climb, my friend, no matter how good of a lawyer you are. And let’s say that the judge is crooked–doesn’t care about justice, just wants to get paid, right? And you refuse to cooperate. You gonna lose, no matter how strong your argument is. Either way, it doesn’t look good, does it? You can’t really just roll the dice here, justin. You have to take control, yeah? Don’t you want a future with the woman that you love, justin?

Justin: Hypothetically speaking, if ej did bribe the judge, I suppose one could trace the transactions.

Xander: No, it’s not bribery. It wouldn’t make sense for ej to pay money to someone just to get his own money back.

Gwen: No, ej got to him some other way–we just have to figure out how.

Justin: This sounds like a fishing expedition to me.

Gwen: Yeah, but well worth it if we can hook the big one, yeah?

Ej: It seems I’ve hit a nerve.

Nicole: Rafe and i are friends, you know that.

Ej: I do. And I can’t stand the man. But that doesn’t give me license for being rude. I apologize. And you look stunned.

Nicole: You never apologize.

Ej: Only on the rarest of occasions. I had no idea the commissioner was such a sensitive subject. There isn’t something going on between the two of you, is there?

Nicole: No, definitely not.

Ej: Forgive me for being forward, but I’m getting the sense that you wish there were.

Rafe: So any word from philip on that job you applied for at titan?

Ava: Not yet.

Rafe: Ah.

Ava: I know it’s a long shot. I don’t exactly have a ton of skills.

Rafe: Mm. I don’t know about that.

[Both chuckle]

Ava: It’s been a long time since I have worked in corporate america. I do know how to get what I want, but I think that titan might frown on some of my methods.

Rafe: Probably, yeah. I was actually surprised you wanted to work there, considering your history with philip.

Ava: Well, being a chef didn’t really turn out, and it doesn’t look like basic black will, either, so kind of my last option.

Rafe: I hope it works out.

Ava: Me too. And victor kiriakis was in the mob back in the day, so I think it’s a place that I really might fit in.

Brady: Look, jake. I don’t want any part in taking down titan. I like my job and i like where I’m at. But while we’re putting all our cards out on the table here, was it you and gabi that put that keylogger on phillip’s computer?

Jake: I don’t know what a keylogger is. And as you pointed out, I’m just a grease monkey. Obviously, gabi didn’t put a keylogger in her own computer, so your theory needs work.

Brady: All right. Well, I gotta get to the office, so if you excuse me.

Jake: Uh, you never told me how your talk with your grandfather went.

Brady: No, I didn’T. My grandfather is pleased with what philip is doing at titan.

[Phone ringing] And that’s really all you need to know, so if you’ll excuse me. Have a good day. Hey, granddad. Yeah, yeah, I have given it some thought, and– look, I know that you think that philip would be less distracted without chloe in the picture, but you need to know that I have no interest in getting between the two of them. And I’m sorry.

Dayquil severe for you…

Gwen: Don’t you want to beat ej at his own game by getting the goods on this judge?

Xander: I certainly do. But I won’t be able to do much detective work from my cell.

Gwen: Well, you just leave that to me and justin.

Justin: Oh, I didn’t say I was on board with this plan. Oh, okay, I gotta go meet bonnie; excuse me.

Gwen: No, but xander still needs an attorney! Dammit.

Xander: Well, he didn’t say he was on board, but he didn’t say he wasn’T.

Ej: Dudley do-right is dating a mob princess.

Nicole: Ex-mob princess. And watch it. Ava’s vitali is my friend too.

Ej: Even though she stole your man?

Nicole: Rafe was never my man.

Ej: But you’d like him to be.

Nicole: Okay, would you stop it, please? I am in the middle of a divorce, and I am not ready to move on. And ava and rafe just started a new relationship, and it seems to be working. So I decided to just take myself out of the equation.

Ej: Do you really think it’s for the best? Because you look miserable.

Nicole: I have a lot of work to do.

Ej: On the other hand, as much as I hate seeing my favorite ex-wife unhappy, my experience with ava vitali says staying out of her way is a wise move.

Rafe: I gotta get to work.

Ava: Mm. I put in some of those cookies you like.

Rafe: Thanks.

Ava: Yeah. Hey, rafe, I hope you know that I would never wanna cause a problem between you and gabi.

Rafe: I know. I know that. And I appreciate that you are making the effort to get along with her. I just wish that she would do the same damn thing because– I’m telling you, if she doesn’t change her attitude, oh, she is not gonna like me choosing who stays or who goes.

Ava: You’re just saying that because of my ravioli.

Rafe: Oh, that’s definitely not it.

Ava: What?

Rafe: Okay. Maybe it’s a part of it.

Ava: [Chuckles]

Gabi: How’d it go with brady?

Jake: He was a little suspicious. I, uh, I think I came on a little too strong.

Gabi: Oh, well, we have no choice now that ej stole my house out from under me. We have to get aggressive, and we have to get this plan moving. So is victor gonna fire philip?

Jake: No. But I did come up with a very interesting piece of information.

Philip: I don’t need brady’s help to bust gabi and jake. He is the competition, after all.

Chloe: Yeah, well, so am I, but I’m still 100% on your side.

Philip: Thank you.

Chloe: So I assuming the next step is to fire them again?

Philip: I wish I could. But if I fire gabi, she could regain control of gabi chic. That was part of her deal– and it’s a hugely profitable division.

Chloe: Well, can’t you just fire jake then?

Philip: I’d tip my hand. I think I’m gonna wait until I’m ready to make my next move.

Chloe: What move is that?

Philip: Gabi’s trying to steal my company. Maybe I try to steal hers. Shingles?

Gwen: Okay. Even if justin doesn’t help us, we still need to find a way to prove that this judge is on the take.

Xander: Would be so much easier if he was taking money. How are we supposed to get to him if we don’t know what he wants?

Gwen: I think I have an idea.

Justin: Rafe, bonnie was supposed to be brought up from her cell. What’s the delay?

Rafe: Yeah, I actually just got word from judge smails that her visiting privileges have been restricted due to bad behavior.

Justin: What bad behavior?

Rafe: It’s bonnie lockhart. Could be anything.

Justin: She’s my fiancéE.

Rafe: Right. Then you know.

Nicole: Ava has changed since the last time you knew her. She has completely given up her old life.

Ej: But we both know she’ll revert to type, eventually.

Nicole: I don’t think so. She lost a son. And her other son means the world to her. She won’t do anything to jeopardize what they have.

Ej: Rafe will be ruing his terrible taste–though i suppose he’s always been attracted to bad girls. I hope you know you can do much better than that dolt. In fact, you have.

Nicole: What, with you?

Ej: Who else would I mean?

Nicole: Not that you have a big ego or anything?

Ej: I thought you liked my big ego.

Nicole: I, uh, have a lot of work to do.

Ej: [Chuckles] As do I. And when we’re both finished with work, I say we go and get a lovely dinner. Together.

Brady: Oh, hi.

Chloe: Hey.

Brady: Are those from philip?

Chloe: Yeah, of course. Who else?

Brady: They’re beautiful. Very nice.

Chloe: Yeah, they are very nice, aren’t they? So did you tell victor that you’re not gonna take him up on his suggestion to try to steal me away from philip?

Brady: I did. And I got an earful, as expected, but you have my word, chloe. If things don’t work out with you and philip, it’s not gonna be because of me.

Gabi: So victor wanted brady to break up chloe and philip? Are you sure?

Jake: That’s what i heard him say. But he refused to go along with it.

Gabi: Hmm. This could be very useful information, because chloe is the achilles’ heel we’re gonna use to bring down philip.

Ava: Have you given any more thought to our conversation?

Philip: Yes. And I have a question.

Ava: Ask away.

Philip: How would you like to help me bring down gabi hernandez?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ciara: And ben, just be honest now, okay? If you’re saying that you don’t wanna pass down your bad genes to our baby, does that mean you might never wanna have a baby with me?

[Crying]

Ben: I did not say that.

Ciara: Okay, well it sounds like you did. Ben, want to have kids. I do. And if you don’t, I mean, isn’t that something you should have talked to me about before I married you?

Chanel: How can you call your movie “the sami brady story” if it’s all about your grandmother?

Johnny: My mom has had a very interesting life. But demonic possession? I mean, my movie could become a classic, like “the exorcist”! Except better, because it’s true.

Chanel: Are you sure you should be messing with this stuff?

Johnny: Of course I’m sure. It’s great material.

Chanel: Yeah, but–

[Sighs]

Johnny: But what?

Chanel: Don’t you think some people might find it a little…sacrilegious?

Marlena: Put that damn thing away! I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I guess you’re right. I guess you’re right, you know? This whole conversation, all these bad memories, I guess I’m just a little bit on edge.

Allie: Hey.

Tripp: Hey. I know I’m a little early. I hope that’s okay.

Allie: Yeah, no. It’s great. Come in. Henry’s asleep and dinner is in the oven. Chicken and mashed potatoes.

Tripp: You’ve been baking all day for work and you’re making me dinner? You didn’t have to do that.

Allie: I wanted to. And I know you’re coming off a long shift at the hospital.

Tripp: Yeah, it was a rough day, you know? But I do have some news to share about doug.

Allie: Oh, no. Grandpa roman said he was having some tests done because he was having some issues with his memory.

Tripp: I’m afraid things got a lot more serious.

Julie: I wish marlena had let me go in there with her.

Eli: Grandma, come on. You gotta trust her. All right, I’m sure she’s knows what she’s doing.

Julie: I trust her, darling. I trust her as a doctor. I trust her as a friend. But remember what doug said to me when I said she’ll be on her way? He said marlena is the one who needs help. What did he mean by that?

Eli: I don’t–maybe he was just confused. But marlena, she’s gonna get to the bottom of it.

Demon marlena: Well, doug, it appears you’ve been a little tattletale.

[Tuts] We can’t have that. Isn’t it ironic that I persuaded marlena to let me into her in order to save your life? And now I’m gonna take it anyway.

Doug: No. No.

Demon marlena: Of course family and friends will be devastated! But they’ll think you died of natural causes. But it’s going to be anything but natural causes.

[Demonic growling]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ciara: Ben, we both talked about wanting kids together.

Ben: I know. And I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to mislead you. That’s not what I’m trying to do.

Ciara: Why didn’t you say anything, ben?

Ben: Because I don’t think I even admitted it to myself before, until you said you wanted to stop using birth control, and then everything just got real, fast. And I love you so much. I want to give you everything you want. I really do.

Ciara: Yeah, but you already have! Baby, don’t you get how happy you make me? That’s why I wanted to have a baby with you in the first place.

Ben: I know that. I know that. I’m afraid. I’m afraid because I don’t want to have a baby and have him turn out like me. I’m not trying to bring evil into this world right now.

[Crying]

Marlena: No, stop! Don’t do this!

Demon marlena: Your friend marlena is trying to stop me from doing what I have to do. You see, she hasn’t entirely given herself over to my powers yet. But she will.

Marlena: No, I won’t! You can’t make me hurt him!

Demon marlena: Yes, I can, and I will. We can’t have doug sharing our little secret.

Chanel: I just think you’re playing with fire.

Johnny: You have to take chances in this life, chanel.

Chanel: What you’re talking about is a lot riskier than just “taking chances.” You are literally tempting the devil to walk right through that door.

Tony: Good evening.

Chanel: Oh, my god!

Johnny: Relax. Relax. It’s just my uncle tony. Uncle tony, this is chanel.

Tony: Ah, chanel. Pleasure. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to frighten you.

Chanel: No, it’s not you. Johnny just had me watch “the exorcist,” so I’m just a little jumpy.

Tony: “The exorcist”? That’s not exactly fun. My idea of fun is watching billy wilder. “Sunset boulevard,” “double indemnity,” “some like it hot.” Actually, that’s anna’s favorite. You know, maybe I should just go and see anna and see if she’d like to see it now.

Johnny: Uncle tony, wait. There’s actually something I wanted to ask you about, since you had a ringside seat.

Tony: To what?

Chanel: Your nephew wants to make a movie about when his grandmother was possessed by the devil.

Tony: Really? You failed to mention that to me when you asked me to invest.

Johnny: I didn’t know at the time.

Tony: Ah, I see. Well, if you’re looking for me to reconsider, I would say that that particular subject is hardly enticing.

Johnny: Look, I know you can’t help with the financing because my dad thinks you’d be “acting against the best interests” of his precious company, but you could still be a consultant.

Tony: And what would i be contributing?

Johnny: Well, you were there. You saw the whole thing up close and personal, when the devil tried to tempt my grandpa john into sleeping with your wife.

Tony: Wrong. I didn’t see it up close and personal. As a matter of fact, I didn’t see it at all.

Johnny: What? But I–

Tony: Look, johnny, that wasn’t me.

[Phone beeps]

[Line rings]

[Phone rings]

Julie: Hello?

John: Hey, julie. It’s john. Has doc seen doug yet?

Julie: She is in there with him now. But eli and I haven’t heard a thing yet.

John: Oh, hopefully we’ll hear something soon.

Julie: I feel terrible about asking her to come down here so late, but doug was asking for her. At least I think he was. I just feel rotten about interrupting your evening.

John: No, no, no. No, no, julie, absolutely no need to apologize.

Julie: I’ve been trying to say my rosary, and I am so upset and I am so worried, I can’t even concentrate on that.

John: I hear you on that. I just sat down with the bible to read psalm 23, hoping it would bring a little inner peace, but no such luck. Hey, I’ll tell you what. How about if I come down to the hospital and you and i head on over to the chapel, and we’ll say a prayer together. How does that sound?

Julie: Oh, john, that would be wonderful.

John: I’m on my way.

Julie: Thank you.

[Phone beeps] John’s coming down here to pray with me.

Eli: I’m sure that’ll make you feel a lot better.

Julie: I’ll tell you what would make me feel better: Getting some answers, finding out what in the world is going on with my husband, and why is it taking so long?

Eli: Grandma, it’s only been a few minutes.

Julie: Well, it seems like forever. I want to check on him. I want to see how he’S… but if I rush in there, barge in– I don’t want to upset him.

Eli: Okay, then why don’t you let me check on him?

Julie: You’d do that?

Eli: Yes. Of course, grandma. I’ll be back.

Tripp: And how was your day? Thank you.

Allie: Uh, can’t complain. The bakery did really well again, and I’m starting to recognize a lot of, like, repeat customers.

Tripp: Ah, that’s great.

Allie: Yeah. Oh, and on my lunch break, I ran into my brother.

Tripp: How did that go?

Allie: Actually, pretty well. He forgave me for the issues that I caused for him and chanel.

Tripp: Good. I’m glad he let that go.

Allie: Yeah, me too. Though it probably helped that his mind was on other things, like his movie.

Tripp: Is he still trying to convince you to play your mom?

Allie: Actually, we didn’t talk about that, because he was too focused on this weird family secret that he uncovered in will’s script.

Tripp: Oh. And what secret would that be?

Allie: That my grandma marlena was possessed by the devil.

Tripp: [Chokes]

Demon marlena: Stop fighting me, marlena. You’re not strong enough to resist me.

Marlena: No. You’ll never win! Never!

Demon marlena: No. Doug has to die. He knows too much.

Eli: Hey, everything okay in here?

[Thunder rumbles]

Ciara: You…you are not evil, ben. And our child wouldn’t be either.

Ben: Maybe not evil, but– you know mental illness runs in my family.

Ciara: Yeah, well, it runs in a lot of families.

Ben: Not like mine. Ciara, I was a murderer. My sister was a murderer.

Ciara: Hey, it was because of clyde. It was because of clyde. If he hadn’t abused you like that… what you and jordan did, that wasn’t inevitable, ben. That was circumstantial.

Ben: I don’t want anyone to feel that way.

Ciara: What way?

Ben: The way jordan did when my mother was pregnant with me. I don’t want anybody to think that my child would be better off dead than with me as a parent.

Ciara: Look at me. Baby, look at me. Look at me. Look at me. No one is gonna think that.

Ben: You don’t know that.

Ciara: Yes, I do. Yes, I do, ben. You faced your demons. You overcame them. And you said that my love helped you do that. At our wedding, you said that you were broken, and that my love fixed you.

Ben: It did.

Ciara: So just let my love do that again. I want to help you face this. We have overcome every single challenge we have ever faced. And we can overcome this, okay? I have no doubt in my mind.

To be a thriver with

metastatic breast cancer

Ben: No matter how much you love me, you can’t change my dna or control what traits I pass down to our children.

Ciara: But your genes don’t control your destiny. I mean, look at me. I was born with great genes.

Ben: Mm.

Ciara: And I was still headed down a bad path. But my parents guided me in the right direction. Without them, who knows where I would be? It was the way I was raised that mattered the most.

Ben: I was raised by a monster.

Ciara: And so it makes sense. It makes sense that you had demons, baby. But later on in life, you finally got that nurturing that you were deprived of as a kid in the form of therapy from your doctors at bayview and marlena and–

Ben: You.

Ciara: Me. Me. And it’s because of that care that you are now on the right path. And I know our child will be too. Because we’re gonna give him unconditional love. Ben, I know in my heart that you would make the most amazing father. Like, you would be the best, and that would make all the difference.

Johnny: What do you mean it wasn’t you, uncle tony? It says right here in will’s script that you were married to aunt kristen, but she was in love with grandpa john. By the way, how did that happen? Aren’t you two brother and sister?

Tony: We’re not related by blood.

Johnny: Okay. So anyway, she didn’t want to leave you because you were blind, and grandpa john apparently was a priest at the time.

Tony: Oh. “Tony” should be in quotes.

Johnny: What are you talking about?

Tony: Well, everybody thought it was me. Even kristen was fooled. But it was my evil cousin andre.

Johnny: You two look exactly alike.

Tony: Well, that’s because he had plastic surgery to look like me. Only I turned out to be much more winsome, witty, and wise. Anyway, as I was saying, I was stranded on some deserted island when andre was running around salem posing as me.

Chanel: White people are crazy.

Tony: Uh-huh.

Johnny: So you’re telling me you didn’t witness any of the devil stuff?

Tony: No, I’m afraid not. I wasn’t here when all this allegedly happened to your grandmother.

Johnny: Allegedly?

Tony: Well, yeah. Yes, it wasn’t– as I said before, I wasn’t here. What you need to do is to find someone who actually lived through it. Back in the ’90s, when it all went down.

Allie: It was back in the ’90s when my grandma marlena was possessed by the devil, and supposedly she terrorized the town for months.

Tripp: And you’re just hearing about this now?

Allie: Well, yeah. I mean, it’s not something my family likes to talk about, obviously.

Tripp: Or will made it up for his movie.

Allie: I thought that too. But then I talked to my grandpa john. And he said it was all true.

Tripp: You don’t really believe that, do you?

Allie: He was pretty convincing.

Tripp: I’m sorry, allie. I just don’t buy it.

Julie: Thank you. Thank you so much.

John: Julie, it’s me. You don’t have to thank me. Doc and I, we love you and doug, and obviously we’re very concerned about this.

Julie: I know. When kayla ran those tests and they were inconclusive, and then marlena stepped up and said she’d give her assessment, I was so grateful. Who better to analyze his bizarre behavior and the things he’s been doing and…and they had their session, ad he collapsed. And I was terrified.

John: Okay, well, hey, julie, he’s stable now and doc’s in there with him. She’s trying again.

Julie: I’m so grateful. I know I’m asking a lot of her, coming down to the hospital in the night like this, and…she would never say anything, I know, but you must let me know if this is burdensome to her.

John: Why would I even think that?

Julie: She seemed a little stressed, john.

John: Well, she’s dealing with something, but it’s nothing compared to what doug’s going through. And I know how important it is for her to help him right now.

Julie: Well, I don’t want to impose on our friendship, so I’ll count on you to tell me if it’s just too much.

John: Well, of course I will. You know that. But right now, our spouses are together, and one is trying to heal the other, so what do you say you and I, we go on down to the chapel and we say a prayer for both of ’em?

Eli: Is everything okay?

Marlena: Yes. I was just trying to make doug a little more comfortable.

Eli: How’s he doing? Were you able to ask him what he meant when he told julie that “he went into her”?

Marlena: No, not yet. We were on the verge of that conversation when you came in, so… if you just step outside, we can continue.

Doug: No, no! Please, don’T. Don’t leave me! Please! On the outside, I looked fine.

Johnny: Who else in the family can I talk to about what happened?

Tony: Well, certainly not andre. Poor thing is no longer with us. Why don’t you ask john?

Johnny: Allie spoke to him. He told her the whole story, said it was all true. But he made it very clear that he never wanted to discuss that topic again. My mom hasn’t called me back, and no one has any idea where aunt kristen is, so…

Tony: Well, that’s probably for the best.

Johnny: I’m sorry?

Tony: What I was saying is, why don’t you go directly to the source and ask marlena?

Johnny: [Scoffs] I don’t think john would be cool with that.

Tony: Perhaps that’s a sign. You know what they say. Sometimes the past is best left buried. Enchantée, chanel.

Chanel: Nice to meet you, mr. Dimera.

Tony: Nice to meet you, too. Johnny.

Johnny: Right.

Chanel: I’d hate to say I told you so, g, but I think you’d be doing everyone in this town a big favor if you just dropped this whole movie idea.

Johnny: [Sighs]

Eli: Why is doug so freaked out?

Marlena: Well, I think he’s just tired of being in the hospital. You won’t be here much longer. I promise. Now, if you would be good enough to leave us alone…

Doug: No, eli! Don’t go!

Eli: You know, my grandmother and john, they went to the chapel to pray. I think julie wanted you to meet them there.

Doug: Yes. Julie.

[Machines beeping]

Marlena: Fine. Fine.

Tripp: Look, as someone who firmly believes in science, I just think there has to be a rational explanation.

Allie: Like what?

Tripp: I would hypothesize that marlena was suffering from a neurobiological disorder, something along the lines of schizophrenia.

Allie: I don’t think that schizophrenia would explain her levitating several feet off her bed.

Tripp: That happened too?

Allie: According to grandpa john, yes.

Tripp: Is there any proof?

Allie: Like, a video or something? Not that I know of. But my grandfather saw it firsthand, and a few other people did too.

Tripp: It could be mass hysteria.

Allie: Wow, you really are a skeptic.

Tripp: Look, here, let me borrow your laptop. I’ll prove to you that I’m right.

Ciara: I mean, just tonight, you proved that you’re gonna be an amazing father.

Ben: What are you talking about?

Ciara: Well, when we came back, I was a wet and sloppy mess, and you told me that i looked perfect.

Ben: Because you did. You always look perfect.

Ciara: Mm. And that is exactly what you would say to our daughter if she came home from kindergarten with a painting of a cat that looks like a hamburger. You would tell her that it was perfect.

Ben: Mm. Our daughter, huh?

Ciara: Mm. Wouldn’t you love to have a little girl?

Ben: Long as she looked like you. What if we had a boy?

Ciara: Well, then bo brady weston would be as amazing and as handsome as his father. Either way, our kid would know their way around an engine.

Ben: Mm. For sure.

Ciara: Mm-hmm.

Ben: That’s true.

Ciara: Baby, I know I’m right about how amazing you are gonna be as a father. I know I am. But I also know that I’m not gonna change your mind in just one conversation. So we don’t have to settle this tonight, okay?

Ben: You sure you’re not upset with me for hiding how I really felt?

Ciara: No. Mm-mm. I’m just glad that you told me the truth. So we can just put this baby conversation on the back burner, okay? Because right now, I just want to be with you. I just want us to love each other. That is all I want. Frequent heartburn? Not anymore.

Johnny: I’m not giving up on my film.

Chanel: Okay, but do you really want to spend the rest of the night talking about the devil?

Johnny: No, I don’T.

Chanel: So maybe we can do something else? Whoa, whoa, what if your uncle comes back?

Johnny: Well, we could go upstairs. We’d have total privacy up there. And just so you know, I have protection this time.

Tripp: Okay, see, this article says that there has never been any substantial proof of a demonic possession. Okay? Nothing caught on video. Nothing that can’t be explained away by trickery or science.

Allie: Okay, but there are many instances where exorcisms are successful. So, I mean, how do you explain the victims getting better?

Tripp: Power of suggestion. You know, if you truly believe that you’re possessed and a priest performs a sacred ritual, you’re gonna believe it worked.

Allie: And you think that’s what happened to my grandmother?

Tripp: I’d bet money on it.

Allie: [Sighs]

John and julie: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light…

Doug: She…she…

Eli: Wait, who, doug? Who are you talking about? Julie? Marlena?

Doug: Marlena…

Eli: Okay, doug, look, I– no, no, no, hey. Don’t get worked up, okay? Look, you really gotta just relax. It can wait.

Doug: No, it can’T.

Eli: Doug, c’mon. Julie’s on her way, all right?

Doug: I need to say it now. Listen to me. Please.

John and julie: O divine master, grant that I shall not seek so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned. And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.

Julie: Saint francis. He really tells us how to walk in the light.

John: Julie, you don’t have to put on a brave face for me. I know that the man you love more than anything in this world is suffering right now. I know how hard that is.

Julie: Doug is my world.

John: I know. And your love and your prayers, they’re gonna get him through this.

Julie: Do you really believe it, john?

John: Oh, I believe that with all my heart. Julie, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about a time years ago when I almost lost marlena, when she was taken from us, when she was doing things that were truly evil, horrifying. It was such a frightening time. But no matter how dark things got, I never gave up. And I know that it was my love and my prayers that brought her back to me.

Julie: It must’ve been terrible for you.

John: But you see, it didn’t drive us apart. It brought us together. It reinforced our bond. And it taught me something. It taught me that no matter what challenges life throws our way, we can get through them together. Together, we can face anything. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Allie: Okay, I get what you’re saying. And I would probably share your skepticism, except that when grandpa john told me about it, he was visibly shaken. I mean, he even admitted to being scarred, especially because he had to perform the exorcism.

Tripp: Are you saying that your grandfather used to be a priest?

Allie: I’m a little fuzzy on that part. But I trust grandpa john. And if he says that my grandmother was possessed, that’s enough for me.

Marlena: Oh, john, I’m glad you’re here.

John: Oh, of course I’m here, sweetheart.

Julie: How is doug?

Marlena: Oh, doug has been through a lot. He’d like to see you, julie.

Julie: Oh, good. Before I go, I wanna thank you, marlena, for coming back here tonight. And doug thanks you too.

Marlena: Well, I’m not sure how much I helped him, but I tried my best.

Julie: Why, I know you did. And he really needed you.

[Sighs] In his confusion, poor darling, he said you were the one who needed help.

Marlena: Huh. Well, maybe he was right. Maybe I did need some help. And I found it.

Chanel: Ooh, you’ve got protection? So you thought we were gonna have sex tonight?

Johnny: No! No, not at all. I just–I wanted us to be safe if and when it happens.

Chanel: Mm. Well, it is not happening tonight, romeo.

Johnny: Is this because of what my sister said? All that stuff she said about me?

Chanel: About you being a total player, and all you’re interested in is getting me in bed, and then you’ll lose interest?

Johnny: That is not true, chanel. I am very interested in spending time with you and eating pb&j with you, talking, laughing, hanging out.

Chanel: I like that too. You know, when we met, we went from 0 to 60 really fast.

[Sighs] But, you know, maybe we can just slow things down a bit.

Johnny: We could watch more movies.

Chanel: As long as no one’s head is spinning around.

Johnny: Ah, I think you actually liked that, even though you were scared.

Chanel: I was definitely scared. But I admit it was kinda fun.

Johnny: Yeah, for me, too. Actually, everything is fun with you.

Chanel: Well, maybe we can just do that for a while, have fun, before we end up in bed.

[Soft music]

Ciara: [Sighs] I am so impressed, dear husband, that you managed to get a restaurant in salem to recreate the first meal we had on our honeymoon. And I’ve gotta say, the bread pudding was as good as what we had in new orleans.

Ben: Well, guess what, my dear wife. There’s some general tso’s chicken right over there in that fridge for when we’re hungry later.

Ciara: Oh, are you planning on working up an appetite?

Ben: You already know it.

Ciara: No, wait, I can’t believe it’s been ten years.

Ben: Well, happy anniversary.

Ciara: Happy anniversary, mr. Weston, who I love more today than I did on the day that we got married. And I love this necklace. It’s perfect.

Ben: You’re perfect.

Ciara: Oh, gosh! Oh, I guess the…

[Toy squeaks] The babysitter wasn’t too strict on putting all the toys away.

Ben: I guess not.

Ciara: Oh, oh, sweetheart.

Ben: Hey.

Ciara: What are you doing up? And where’s rita?

Bo: She was mean to me. So I punished her.

Ben: What happened, buddy?

Bo: She made me play with these toys instead of what I really wanted to play with.

Ciara: And what did you really want to play with?

Bo: Daddy’s necktie.

[Suspenseful music]

Ben: No, no, no! No!

[Breathing heavily] I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Ciara: Ben, are you okay?

Ben: I just had a nightmare.

Ciara: I can see that. What was it about?

Ben: Don’t really remember.

Ciara: Well… it was just a bad dream. Doesn’t mean anything, babe. I’m right here and I love you and everything is gonna be okay. I promise. Everything’s gonna be okay.

Johnny: I see what’s going on here. Yeah, you want me to woo you.

Chanel: Not the word I’d use, but yes.

Johnny: Well, okay. Prepare to be wooed.

Chanel: You sure you know how?

Johnny: Oh, yeah. No, you’d better brace yourself, because I am going to wine you, dine you, serenade you, the whole nine yards.

Chanel: Mm, well, I can’t wait. But, um, wooing aside, please don’t make that movie. Like I said, g, you’re playing with fire.

Johnny: Noted.

Doug: I need– I need to tell you now.

Julie: How’s he doing?

Eli: He’s been trying to tell me something, but he’s just wearing himself out.

Julie: Oh. Oh, darling. Darling, you don’t have to talk right now, sweetheart.

Doug: She was trying to–

Julie: Yes, yes. Marlena was trying to help you. And she’ll help you again. But right now, my precious one, you just need to sleep. You just rest. And we’ll talk about everything in the morning.

Marlena: Thank god you’re here. It’s as if you knew I needed you.

John: Well, since you give so much to the people you love, I think it’s important that you know that I’m always here for you to lean on.

Marlena: You are my rock.

John: I love you.

Marlena: I love you.

[ Upbeat music ]

Katie: Have you heard anything from justin since you texted him last?

Ridge: Nothing yet.

Katie: What do you think that means?

Ridge: I don’t know what it means. He followed quinn when she left and hopefully he’ll find out something.

Katie: Eric said that quinn was gonna be out this evening.

Ridge: That’s par for the course, isn’t it?

Katie: Where do you think she is? What do you think she’s doing?

Ridge: Who’s she doing it with? I have my suspicions, but I hope I’m wrong. For dad’s sake.

Quinn: Please, justin. You have to listen to us.

Carter: If you say a word about this to anyone–

Justin: See, that’s exactly it. I’m still not sure what this whole thing really is. You expect me to believe that a husband is allowing his wife to sleep with another man? As a matter of fact, encouraging it. Look, I’m no prude, but–

Carter: I realize it’s not something you hear about every day–

Quinn: Okay, we’re not running around behind anybody’s back. We’re not having an elicit affair. This was my husband’s idea.

Steffy: You’re not going anywhere near hayes.

Sheila: I just want a moment with him. With my grandson.

Steffy: If you take one more step to the nursery–

Sheila: Are you threatening me now?

Steffy: I’m protecting my son.

Sheila: You don’t need to protect him from me. I love him.

Steffy: You don’t know what that word means. Now get out.

Sheila: Not until I hold my grandson.

Steffy: You’re never gonna hold him again. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

Sheila: Well, we’ll see about that, then, won’t we?

Steffy: You take one more step and I swear to god, sheila, you’re gonna be sorry.

Paris: Hey, hey.

Zende: There she is.

Paris: You’ve been looking for me?

Zende: So I can do this.

Paris: Oh. Glad I stopped by.

Zende: I’m glad you did, too. My day is not complete without one of your smiles. So, how’s everything?

Paris: Well, work is good. But you already knew that.

Zende: No, I guess I’m asking more about life at the beach.

Paris: What do you want to know?

Zende: Well, I know you’re grateful to finn and steffy for giving you a place to crash, but how long are you planning on hanging out there?

Paris: Oh, you think I’m overstaying my welcome?

Zende: No, I just meant that I thought, you know, you might like your own spot at some time, or…

Paris: Yeah, I know what you meant, but you’re right. All good things do have to come to an end. And this one does. And it has.

[ Sighing ]

Sheila: Okay, can we just not do this?

Steffy: Then go.

Sheila: I just… I just want to spend a moment with hayes. You can be with me the whole time.

Steffy: No! No.

Sheila: Oh, come on, steffy. How can you continue to deny a grandmother the opportunity to see her grandson.

Steffy: You’re never gonna be hayes’ grandmother. He’s never gonna know you exist.

Sheila: You don’t mean that. You can’t be that vindictive.

Steffy: Calling what you want, I’m doing what’s best for my son.

Sheila: You’re denying him family.

Steffy: He has family! He has finn, he has me, he has kelly. He doesn’t need you. You are not family! Now, for the last time, get out! Before I throw you out.

Finn: Steffy, what’s going– sheila.

Katie: Maybe you should text justin again. Maybe he didn’t get the first one.

Ridge: Maybe I got the wrong man on the job. He better not let me down.

Eric: Who better not let you down? What are you talking about?

Ridge: Nothing.

Eric: How can it be nothing when the two of you are so intense? What is it?

Justin: You’re telling me that eric’s really cool with this, the two of you?

Quinn: Look, we realize it’s shocking.

Carter: It’s hard to believe, justin, eric’s coming from a place of love.

Quinn: Right, I love eric. Eric loves me, he just can’t express that love physically like he used to.

Justin: Just, tag, you’re it. Just like that, huh?

Carter: Why am I even explaining myself to this– imagine our reaction when eric proposed it. He wants quinn to be fulfilled in every aspect of their marriage, so he found a way to make it work for himself, for quinn, and I have to respect that.

Justin: Of course you do! You’re the lucky recipient.

Quinn: Okay, look–

Justin: Get out!

Quinn: I realize how this looks to you, to anyone if this information got out, but this is my marriage. This is eric’s marriage. I’m asking you to respect the privacy between a husband and wife and their personal relationship. I’m not asking you to agree with it, or condone it. But nobody is getting hurt here, so please just forget what you saw. Forget that you know anything about this.

[ Scoffing ] – Bedtime!! – Bedtime.

Zende: No problem, I’ll get right on that.

Paris: You’re busy. I should go.

Zende: No, no, no. Not so fast. You still have to fill in some blanks. So, you are ditching your cozy digs in malibu, for where? Have you found a new place, yet?

Paris: I’m closing in on one.

Zende: Look, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I’m against you moving out of steffy and finn’s, but why now?

Paris: It was just time. I need to move on.

Zende: Okay. Well, I’m all for it. Means you and I get to have a little bit more alone time.

Paris: I would like that too.

Zende: Oh yeah?

Finn: What are you doing here?

Steffy: She got past the guard and bolted in here the moment you went surfing.

Finn: Why? Why would you do that when you know how steffy feels?

Sheila: All too clear, yes. But how do you feel, sweetheart? How do you feel about me? Your mother?

Steffy: Oh, for…

Ridge: I sent someone to do a job and now I’m wondering if maybe it was the wrong person, but it’s my problem, I’ll deal with it.

Eric: Am I getting the whole story here?

Ridge: Are we getting the whole story? You and quinn? I mean, what?

Eric: Oh, I wondered how long it would be for me to come in here before you asked me about my marriage.

Ridge: Dad, look–

Eric: You look, ridge. Both of you. Quinn and i are fine. My marriage is fine.

Ridge: Okay, how are you fine? You’re home alone and she goes out and does whatever she wants? What is that?

Eric: We have an arrangement, ridge.

Ridge: Okay, there’s that word again. Arrangement. What is it? What is your arrangement? What’s going on with you and quinn?

Justin: So, you want me to forget what I saw? Just kinda like unsee it, right? Pretend that you and carter, with eric’s permission, right? Pretend like this didn’t happen. Is that what you want me to do?

Quinn: Yes.

Justin: Oh, come on.

Quinn: Come on! For eric’s sake. Do you know how many doctors and therapists he’s been going to to try and fix his situation, and nothing has worked? And no matter how many times I’ve told him, that he is enough for me, that our love is enough for me, he’S… he’s determined. He thinks that this is the answer to a very delicate and sensitive situation. And even though, at first, I refused–

Carter: So did I.

Quinn: Ultimately, he convinced us. And this is just… it’s uncharted territory for all three of us.

Carter: Justin, if this were to get out–

Justin: What?

Carter: I’mma slow this down for you, eric made a decision to put his wife’s needs before his own. Okay?

Quinn: If this gets out, can you imagine what this is going to do to eric? Please, that’s why you can’t say anything. That’s why you have to keep this secret to yourself. Read my eyes.

Zende: You know I support you at anything you do, right? That’s the kind of relationship we have. Mutual support and admiration.

Paris: Oh, so that kiss just now is you showing me how much you admire me.

Zende: I do, a lot. You’re so positive, accomplished. You’re also smoking hot. Ouf!

Paris: I am so appreciative of you too, you’re kind, and you’re caring, and you’re so understanding.

Finn: You’re doing it again.

Sheila: What?

Finn: You’re putting me in the middle between you and my wife.

Sheila: Finn, I just want to know how you feel about me.

Finn: You already know how I feel. And why I can’t have anything to do with you. Look, I don’t want to hurt you, but your history with steffy and her–

Sheila: Please don’T.

Finn: Her family–

Sheila: Just don’T. Please don’T. Don’t do this. You and my grandson mean everything to me. I already lost you once for years, and years, and now we’re in a position to make up for lost time. Don’t turn your back on that. Please don’t turn your back on me. Your mother.

Ridge: I don’t want to upset you, I just, I’m trying to understand. Quinn betrayed you with another man. You were set to divorce her, and then out of nowhere, you change your mind. I’m trying to figure out why, because you don’t talk to me, you don’t talk to your family. No one you love. You don’t talk to anybody.

Katie: We’re just, we’re worried about you, eric. I mean, we want you to be happy, and you don’t seem happy. You just reconciled with your wife, a woman you supposedly love.

Ridge: But you’re leading separate lives. It seems that way to us. Do you know what she’s doing? Where she is? Where she’s going? Do you know any of that stuff?

Eric: Yes, I do. I know exactly what she’s doing. And I know where she is. I want you to drop this. I mean it, ridge. Drop it now.

Quinn: Look, I realize, I am not your favorite person. Bill has made sure of that over the years. But, I’m not asking you to keep quiet for me. I’m asking you to do this for eric.

Carter: If it were to become public knowledge, justin, people would never understand.

Quinn: Can you imagine if his family found out? I mean, eric having to tell them this. It would be humiliating to him. Please, don’t do that to eric. He’s dealing with enough. He shouldn’t have to go through any more. Please, justin. Just keep this to yourself. Please don’t tell ridge.

Bogeys on your

six, limu.

Ridge: Dad, come on. No one’s attacking you.

Eric: Ridge, stop this. Will you, please? I don’t want to hear another word about my marriage or about quinn. From either one of you, katie.

Katie: Eric, I’m sorry. You’re right. You have every right to your privacy.

Eric: Thank you.

Katie: Of course, that doesn’t mean that your friends and your family can’t be concerned– but, okay. Fine. No more. I’ll shut up. Can I still come over later?

Eric: Yes, that’ll be fine, as long as we don’t say anything about quinn. Or him.

Katie: Deal.

[ Phone beeping ]

Eric: Yeah? Yeah, she’s here. I’ll tell her. The new interns are gathered in the conference room downstairs.

Katie: Oh, okay. I just have to grab a few things from my office.

Eric: Good, I’ll come with. I want to see them as well.

Katie: Okay.

Quinn: What do you think justin will do?

Carter: Let’s just hope and pray we got through to him.

[ Sighing ]

[ Door opening ]

Ridge: Hey, it’s about time. Did you get my text?

Justin: Yes.

Ridge: Never mind. Did you follow quinn?

Justin: Yes.

Ridge: Okay. What did she do? Where did she go? Was she alone?

Quinn: I’m not asking you to keep quiet for me. I’m asking you to do this for eric. Just keep this to yourself. Please don’t tell ridge.

Ridge: Justin! Is she being unfaithful to my father?

Sheila: I know that I have begged and pleaded and I will do it again and again and again if that’s what it takes to have a place in yours and hayes’ lives. I gave you away once. And it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I was… I was so different back then. I’m a different person now, I am not the monster that she says I am. Just let me show you, please. Just give me that chance. Please, finn. Is that really too much to ask for? The opportunity to have a meaningful relationship with my son? One that we’ve both missed out on for far too long.

Finn: I wanna believe everything you say is true. And I really, really hope it is. But it doesn’t change the fact that I stand with my wifE. I’m sorry. Sheila, you gotta go.

Sheila: No, no. Don’t, don’t, don’t do this. Don’t let steffy come between us. Don’t–

Finn: I’ll see you to the door.

[ Sighing ] Goodbye.

[ Door closing ] It’s okay. I’m sorry.

Quinn: Justin?

Carter: What the hell, man? How’d you get in here?!

Justin: Oh, that’s what you’re worried about?

Quinn: No, I’m worried about what you’re doing here!

Justin: I know exactly what this is. Just save it, the both of you. You’re caught.

Ridge: Quinn is up to something.

Katie: Well, when is she not?

Ridge: I know. But this is different. I don’t know what it is, but I just… getting a bad feeling.

Katie: Well, what do you think she’s up to?

Ridge: No good. What that means, I don’t know. But um… we’ll find out. We’ll find out what she’s doing.

Steffy: I said get out!

Sheila: Steffy, please, just give me a chance.

Steffy: Get out! You are not supposed to be here.

Sheila: I just want to see my grandson and my son.

Steffy: You are never gonna see them. Never! Now, walk out the door right now! I said, get out!

Steffy: How– how did you get past my guard at the gate?

Sheila: I’m a mother that loves my grandson and my son. There’s nothing that’s gonna keep me away from them.

Steffy: You’re never going to see them again.

Sheila: Why are you so angry, steffy?

Steffy: Oh my god, oh my god. Don’t try to play me. I know what you’re doing. Finn told you to stay away and yet… yet here you are. You snuck onto my property? If finn knew you were doing this, he’d be so disappointed in you.

Sheila: Yeah, well, I know he’s not far because I– I saw him go down to the beach.

Steffy: Okay, it’s time for you to go. I mean it, sheila. You got five seconds.

Sheila: One thousand one… one thousand two… one thousand three… or what?

Katie: Do you really have someone keeping an eye on quinn?

Ridge: Ah, this is weird. I’m just getting strange vibes from her, so, yeah. I’m having someone follow her.

Katie: So, like, a private investigator?

Ridge: No, nothing like that. It’s uh… someone I know, someone who’s been scratching the underbelly of society for a long time.

Katie: Oh. Sounds like this person is used to working with a lot of low-lifes. So, where’d you find him?

Ridge: Spencer publications. Former employee.

Katie: Justin?

Justin: Ah! Nice place you got here. See you’re still hooking up with the boss’s wife? Even after eric allowed you to remain coo. You swore it was over; this is the thanks he gets?

Carter: Why are you here?

Justin: Huh. All alone in your apartment, hands all over each other, half-naked.

[ Laughing ] I know what I walked in on, quinn. Soon everyone else will, too. I thought I was getting my floors clean.

Steffy: You’re not welcome here, sheila. You never will be.

Sheila: I know that you were– were taken off guard, me just showing up. I probably should’ve reached out to you before coming here.

Steffy: That wouldn’t have made a difference. My feelings about you are never gonna change. Finn knows that. He doesn’t want you in his life. And the sooner you realize that, the better. Stop coming by here expecting to see people who don’t want to see you.

Sheila: People? Finn isn’t just anyone, he’s my son.

Steffy: And he told you to stay away, and you didn’t respect his wishes.

Sheila: Well, no, I did. I stayed away. I haven’t contacted him since the hospital.

Steffy: Do you want a medal for that?

Sheila: I’ve given him space, steffy.

Steffy: Yeah, like for a minute. Until you snuck back into my house!

Sheila: I could’ve rang the bell, but– look. I came to see you, woman to woman, mother to mother.

[ Stammering ] Since I’m here, I was hoping maybe I could… I could see hayes? Just for a little bit? Spend some time with my boys?

Katie: So, you hired justin barber?

Ridge: No, that’s not what I said. I didn’t hire him. He owed me a favor. And why not him? He’s a great lawyer.

Katie: Okay, sure. No one’s arguing that, but you’re not exactly using him for his legal prowess.

Ridge: I’m using him for research. What’s the difference?

Katie: “Research” into how quinn is spending her spare time?

Ridge: Research into finding out why she’s not at home at night anymore. Seems weird to me, so I’m trying to find out what that is.

Katie: Well, we all have our secrets. Quinn probably takes that to a whole other level.

Ridge: Yeah. My dad has no secrets. Open book. He always told us exactly what was going on. Not now. Doesn’t talk to anybody.

Katie: He’s definitely keeping us guessing, isn’t he?

Ridge: I don’t even care about that. I just don’t want his heart broken again.

Katie: Which is where justin comes in?

Ridge: Which is where justin comes in. Worth a shot.

Katie: You know, you two make an unlikely duo. Didn’t he throw you out of a helicopter one time?

[ Ridge sighing ]

Ridge: That was bill’s idea. But if justin’s capable of doing that, then…

Katie: Then I guess he’s pretty much up for anything, huh?

Ridge: Yeah. But if I want to find out what somebody else is doing, if I want to find out what quinn is doing… justin’s the man for the job.

Carter: Why are you really here, man? Breaking into my place, chastising us? This is none of your business.

Justin: The person that I’m working for made it my business.

Quinn: Person that you’re working for– who? Bill? Bill put you up to this?

Justin: No. No, no, no. Bill and I aren’t speaking anymore. We had a falling out. I’m working for someone else. Someone that will be very interested in the two of you and your cheap, ongoing affair.

Carter: Okay, this is– this no one’s concern.

Justin: Hah. Obviously, it is.

Quinn: You have no idea what you walked in on. So, just– just tell us who it is. I know it’s not eric.

Justin: For the record, you two aren’t really good at this. Not even being discreet!

Quinn: Uh–!

Justin: Shameless. Not even bothered by the thought of hurting eric.

Carter: Just tell us who sent you.

[ Justin laughing ]

Justin: I’m not gonna stand here and play name games all day long. I’m working for ridge.

Carter: For ridge?

Justin: I didn’t stutter. You heard me.

Quinn: Okay, justin. Please, you… you can’t tell anyone about this. But you especially can’t tell ridge!

Sheila: Look, steffy, you’re a mom, too. You have– you have two beautiful, beautiful children–

Steffy: You made a choice! You put finn up for adoption when he was a baby.

Sheila: But I thought I was doing what was best at the time.

Steffy: And I’m doing what is best for him now. And that’s you staying far away from him and my son.

Sheila: But I’m not a monster.

Steffy: Oh yeah, you are.

Sheila: No, I’m not. I– I didn’t come here to cause you any trouble, I just– I just want to hold my grandson.

Steffy: You already held him! You did it last time when you came here without my permission.

Sheila: Look, just– just put your feet in my shoes for just a minute, because it would break your heart. This is breaking my heart!

Steffy: You need to stop with this obsession. You’re reliving this pattern over and over again. You’re going after my husband and my son? It’s really– it’s really starting to scare me.

Sheila: Look,

[ Stammering ] I don’t mean to frighten you. I understand how it would be difficult to trust me. I– I don’t have a great track record with your family.

Steffy: You tried to murder half of my family.

Sheila: I’m not that person anymore! I’m a grandmother and a mother that would just love to have a place in finn and hayes’s lives.

Steffy: You’re trying to make this sound so innocent.

Sheila: It’s because it is! It doesn’t have to be ugly or complicated. If you could just empathize with me on any level at all. Give me a chance to prove to you that I’m not the woman that i was back then. Please, please, steffy. Don’t keep me away from my son.

Ridge: I hate this. I hate all of it. But you know what? More than anything else, to see my dad waste time with this woman breaks my heart.

Katie: Well, he certainly does seem like he’s defending her an awful lot.

Ridge: And why is that? What does– what does she bring to the table? He just– he just seems upset all the time, no?

Katie: There were a lot of good years, you know, in the beginning, and eric was thriving. He seemed energized, really happy to have this new woman on his arm.

Ridge: But that was then. What about now? What’s happening now? It just– it seems this whole marriage is a chore.

Katie: You know my theory? He’s afraid of being alone, of having no one to go home to.

Ridge: Huh. I see. So, all the women in los angeles, southern california– let’s– let’s say he didn’t want to travel anymore. All women in walking distance–

[ Katie laughing ] This is the only option?

Katie: Okay, you– you’re preaching to the choir, okay? I have been trying to convince him that there are many, many women who would love to share a martini with him. I mean, he is the kindest man I–I have ever known. He’s so loyal and– and principled, and maybe to a fault.

Ridge: These are all great qualities. Qualities that quinn takes advantage of. Why would she stop now?

[ Katie sighing ]

Katie: I don’t know. Maybe because she doesn’t want to lose him. You know, she pleaded with him to take her back. I just can’t imagine that she would be stupid enough to cheat on him again.

Ridge: Unless… it being quinn, likes to live on the edge. Unless she wants to be caught.

Quinn: If ridge were to find out–

Carter: What do we have to do to forget this ever happened?

Justin: Eric forgave you. You still have your job. You, too. You’re still his wife. He saw fit to give you another chance. Yet, here we are, creeping around behind his back. With him, again. I hope it was worth it.

Quinn: Okay, look. We have A… we have an understanding.

Justin: So, you’re not a married woman?

Quinn: Yes! No, I– I am a married woman. You just–you–you– you don’t have any idea what it is you walked in on.

Justin: Okay, quinn. You can keep telling yourself that. I feel terrible for eric. Oh, I hear he’s a sweet man. He’s not going to take this too well. This is going to be tough on him.

Quinn: Eric knows. Okay? He knows. He– he knows about me and carter. Eric gave us permission.

[ Quinn sighing ] Want your clothes to smell freshly washed

Steffy: Nice try. But I’ll never believe you changed. Not after all the horrible crimes you’ve committed against my family.

Sheila: I’m a– I’m a different person. Now, I– I was really struggling with some dark demons back then.

Steffy: Ooh yeah, demons for sure. Too many to count. But I see you. I know who you are. You’re fake. You are so fake. Finn may have sympathy for you, but I don’T. And I feel bad for him. I feel so bad. He’s now realized what his birth mother is, who she is, and what she’s capable of. And that fake collapse, oh please. Get out of here. You know how terrified he was? He thought you were going to die, and he rushed you to the hospital.

Sheila: He rushed me because he cared about his mother.

Steffy: Well, thank god he realized it was all a manipulation, shut you down.

Sheila: That’s because of you. You gave him an ultimatum, steffy.

Steffy: He told you to stay out of his life and hayes’S. He did that to protect his family. He sees you for who you truly are. And now you come in here, disrespecting me and my family? You’re only alienating yourself more.

Sheila: Why do you force this hatred on finn? Why do you think you’re the gatekeeper? I– I mean, you’re hellbent on making sure that I never see them! I’m asking for one moment. One more time!

Steffy: No.

Sheila: That’s all I’m asking.

Steffy: No.

Sheila: Is he in the nursery?

Steffy: Do not do this. You take one more step and I promise you, you’re going to regret it.

Katie: Have you heard anything from justin since he left to follow quinn?

Ridge: No, he’s been gone a while. So maybe that’s good news. I’m texting him now.

Katie: I wonder if he’s found out anything interesting.

Justin: So, eric knows about this?

Carter: Yes, justin. Eric knows about this. In fact, it was his idea.

Justin: Come on. You expect me to believe that? No. No way. Eric doesn’t roll like that.

Quinn: It’s true. Why would I lie?

Justin: Cover your little ass.

Carter: She’s being straight with you, justin. Not that it’s your business.

Justin: Okay. Let’s say that you’re both not lying through your teeth. Give me one reason why eric would allow his wife to sleep with another guy.

Quinn: E.D.

Justin: E.D.? What?

Quinn: The reason that carter and I ended up together in the first place is because my husband showed no interest in me the bedroom.

[ Justin scoffing ]

Quinn: I found out later that the reason why he didn’t want to make love to me wasn’t because… wasn’t because he didn’t want to. It’s because he couldn’T.

Justin: He couldn’t?

Quinn: Right. He couldn’T. He was unable to. It was so difficult for him to share this information with me. Look. My husband is an incredible man. He’s very giving, and he’s– he’s very selfless, and he’s understanding. He didn’t want me to give up my intimate life because he wasn’t able to fulfill me anymore.

Justin: So, basically eric gave you permission?

Quinn: Yes! He did! And fought it. We fought it. But he just kept pushing and pushing because he believed that this was the only way to save our relationship. I… carter and I, we had a history, and… look, I know this is shocking.

Carter: Yes, yes, justin, it was very shocking. But eric, he basically insisted. Quinn’s not lying, okay? What she’s saying is fact.

Quinn: Look. I understand, okay. I understand it’s really hard to believe that eric would–would condone this kind of unconventional behavior, but I’m telling you. This was his idea, okay? And–he got it in his head that this is the only way that we were going to save our marriage. And we have had such a difficult time processing this, but I’m telling you, we’re not doing anything behind his back. We are not betraying him. Eric wants this. And if you go and you tell anybody else– if you–if you tell ridge… you’re going to embarrass and humiliate him. So, please. Justin, please. This is so personal, okay? This… my husband is a very private man. Please don’t report back to ridge. Just do the right thing. Keep eric’s secret.

Nick: Are you sure you can do this?

Phyllis: Are you doubting my expertise?

Nick: No, no, this is just next-level search-and-discovery mission, that’s all.

Phyllis: Well, good thing you have me. No one better to find out ashland locke’s true identity.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Well, you’re not the first expert to go digging into ashland’s background.

Phyllis: Yeah, well, I’m the first one who’s gonna succeed.

Nick: Well, we need to confirm ashland’s origin story

before he marries my sister.

Phyllis: Well, good thing you have me because this is my wheelhouse. Sleuthing and scheming. Spying.

[ Laughs ] Also, I happen to be very, very, very madly in love with you, and I want to see you happy.

Nick: Well, that’s a two-way street.

Phyllis: Okay, here we go. What did rey say about somebody who wants to change their name legally?

Nick: He said it takes a lot of documentation, you know, a lot of legal channels that you have to go through.

Phyllis: Alright, well, I am checking out these databases that are connected to the — you know, the legal authorization and legal channels for a young man who wanted to change his name to ashland locke, what, 30, 40 years ago.

Nick: Yeah, I mean, there’s just got to be something.

Phyllis: There’s nothing. Nick, there’s nothing here. I mean, I’m still so dumbfounded that this guy has successfully buried his true identity. And there’s no documentation anywhere. I mean, that just means that —

Nick: It means something very strange is going on.

Billy: We need to have a serious conversation about ashland locke.

Gaines: I’m busy.

Billy: We can go somewhere private. I promise you, it’ll be worth your while.

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

Billy: 10 minutes. You won’t regret it.

Gaines: Alright. Let’s go.

Ashland: $500,000. Yes, I’m aware. It — look, you just make the money happen, and I’ll take care of the rest. Please just have it ready. Thank you.

Abby: Ashland, hi.

Ashland: Abby, it is lovely to see you.

Abby: Yeah. Given how often you’ve been in here, it’s odd that we haven’t done more than exchange pleasantries. And now you’re about to be my brother-in-law.

Ashland: I’m looking forward to being a part of your wonderful family, especially getting to know you better.

Abby: I feel the same. You know, I think it’s time that we get to know each other. Mind if I join you?

Ashland: I would be delighted.

Victor: Well, I hope you’re not too busy with something very important.

Victoria: Daddy, you know i always make time for you.

Victor: Whoa! Look at that. My goodness, is that a merrill londeree?

Victoria: It is.

Victor: Sweetheart, that is so damn good. Look at the poise and the grace and the presence. My god, I love it. Don’t you?

Victoria: Oh, well, you know, it’s taking some getting used to, looking at my face all day, but it just reminds me to keep focused on getting the job done.

Victor: I think it’s beautiful.

Victoria: Mom was worried that you wouldn’t be that enthusiastic about it.

Victor: Why would she worry about that? This is a fitting symbol of your new position, sweetheart. You’re running this company. It’s in your capable hands now. And you’re bringing it into the future — a bright, prosperous future, right? I mean, this is symbolic of your new position of power, really.

Victoria: It was a gift from ashland.

Victor: Oh, it is. Oh. Well, now, I have a gift for you, as well. Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss,

Abby: I couldn’t stand the thought that our first real conversation would be after the “I dos.”

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Well, to say that you have been busy is an understatement. Not only are you the owner of my favorite restaurant in town, but I have also heard that there’s a new member of the family.

Abby: Yeah, dominic.

Ashland: That’s a strong name.

Abby: Dominic phillip newman abbott chancellor.

Ashland: Oh, my. That moniker is longer than he is.

Abby: Oh, he’ll grow into it eventually.

Ashland: He seems to have been born into the role of an ambassador.

Abby: A role that I know very well. I’ve played it most of my life. My father is a newman and my mother is an abbott.

Ashland: Wow. I would imagine that would make for interesting times, given the unique histories of your families.

Abby: Oh, the stories I could tell.

[ Chuckles ] I am — I’m very proud of both sides of my family tree. I see the best in them, but I am also not too shy to call them out on the worst.

Ashland: They’re lucky to have you. And now, dominic.

Abby: Yeah, he really is such a miracle. I know I may be biased, but he is the perfect little angel. Oh, his little face. I mean, I’m now that parent that takes pictures and videos of him all day long and shows them to everybody.

Ashland: Well, that all changes so quickly. It’s really critical you capture it all at once. Do you have any pictures of him, by any chance?

Abby: Oh, I thought you would never ask.

[ Chuckles ] I do, yes. Settle in.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: I have so many pictures and videos that I’m gonna need my own data storage facility soon. And while I am bragging about my son, please tell me about you and victoria. When business turned into romancE. When you knew you were in love. All of it because there is nothing better than a good love story.

Billy: I did some digging into you after we met, mr. Gaines.

Gaines: Well, don’t believe everything you read.

Billy: I found out that you took over your father’s law practice after he passed away. Two years later, your license was revoked for malfeasance. Yet, one of the biggest businessman in the world claims that you are one of his east coast lawyers. Now, if he’s lying about that, what else is he lying about?

Gaines: Why are you so interested?

Billy: Well, it’s my job. I shine a light into the dark corners. I flip over rocks, exposing what’s really there, not what the rich and famous would like to be there. But you knew who I was when we met. You know that I run chanccomm with my partner, the woman who i was with, lily winters.

Gaines: You already wrote an exposé on locke. You hardly were the first.

Billy: Yeah, but there’s so much more information that locke has been hiding for decades.

Gaines: Hmm, that sounds personal. What’s your beef with him?

Billy: I’m gonna assume you also know that he’s about to marry the mother of my children. A man like that, spending that much time with my kids, I need to know that he can be trusted. And so far, I’ve found no evidence of that to be true. The fact is, I think he’s hiding something monumental, and my intuition tells me that you know something about that.

Victoria: What is this?

Victor: Well, open it and read it.

Victoria: Dad.

Victor: What?

Victoria: You can’T.

Victor: Oh, really? You’re gonna stop me or what?

Victoria: This is the — this is —

Victor: It’s the deed to my villa in tuscany, the palazzo. It is yours, as of the day of your wedding with ashland.

Victoria: I can’t believe it.

Victor: This is your tuscan home away from home, you know.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Daddy.

Victor: I want you to spend many, many happy years with ashland there, okay?

Victoria: I really don’t know how to thank you. Not just for the gift, but for what this represents.

Victor: There’s no need.

Victoria: No, daddy, I know you feel like you were doing your fatherly duty digging into ashland’s past, but this just shows me that you support us and you support our marriage.

Victor: I love you. You’re my daughter. I want you to enjoy that house and that villa on that estate for many, many years. I’ve never seen you this happy. I want you to continue to be happy, okay?

Victoria: Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] I’m susan and I’m 52

Abby: I can’t believe that victoria ever spoke to you again after that first negotiation. I mean, you chose victor and adam over her.

Ashland: Well, as I told you, I think she was a little more than exasperated. I think she still might be.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Ashland: But I admired her even then.

Abby: She is very impressive.

Ashland: It was more than that. You know, even from the beginning, there was a spark, this connection, recognition, you know? Something that the poets have eternally tried to put into words. The first we kissed, I — I just knew that everything was different. And for the first time in my life, I had found a person on this planet who could make me happy to be alive.

Abby: Yeah.

Ashland: I’m sorry, did I say something that —

Abby: No, I’m — I’m sorry. No, it’s — it’s okay. I was just — I was thinking about my wedding and how much i miss my husband.

Ashland: Yeah, I would imagine that must be really tough, not having him around, especially with dominic in the picture.

Abby: Yeah.

Ashland: But you also must be very proud of him.

Abby: I am. You know what? I am — I am so happy for you and victoria. And I hope and pray that your love lasts forever.

Ashland: Oh. Well, prayers are welcome. I really enjoyed this time with you and getting to know you, and I would imagine you’ve got just tons of work to do, so I’ll be on my way.

Abby: Actually, before you go, there is something I wanted you to know.

Ashland: Tell me anything you want.

Abby: I have to admit, I had my reservations about you and victoria. I mean, everything just happened so fast, but now I can see why she fell in love with you and why she’s willing to take this next step with you, after everything she’s been through.

Ashland: You mean with billy?

Abby: Look, don’t get me wrong, I love my uncle. He’s a terrific father and his heart is normally in the right place. But when they were together, victoria spent an inordinate amount of time putting out fires.

Ashland: I have heard the stories.

Abby: Yeah, the gambling, the drinking, the affairs, shady business dealings.

Ashland: Sounds difficult.

Abby: And look, I know every relationship has their ups and downs, but look at you. I mean, your health, but that’s not something that you could help. I mean, that was thrown at you, and you and victoria, you’re dealing with it together.

Ashland: Hmm.

Abby: And the way that you’re merging your company with newman, it just shows how much you admire victoria’s business acumen.

Ashland: She’s a powerhouse. One of the myriad reasons why i love and adore your sister. You know, she was the one that convinced me to go forward with this treatment, and I was dead set against it and she was quietly and subtly relentless.

Abby: Well, when she’s right, she can be ferocious.

Ashland: Yeah, well, I had told myself that I wanted nothing to do with being tired and sick all the time from the chemotherapy, but I went ahead with it because I had wanted more time with her. And I will cherish every minute.

Abby: I can see it in your eyes, how much you love her.

Ashland: It’s true, I do.

Abby: But I also know your reputation. And it’s not that unlike my father’S. You have a certain world view, certain way of handling things. And I want you to take this with the spirit that it is intended because I promise you, I really only want the best for you and victoria.

Ashland: Feel free to speak your mind.

Abby: Please never lie to victoria. Billy did that far too often. I think he thought that he was protecting her, but he was really only protecting himself.

Ashland: I will take that to heart. Thank you.

Abby: Yeah. Okay, well, I am going to get home to dominic.

Ashland: Of course. I so appreciate this time, and thank you. It’s been great getting to know you.

Abby: I feel the same. Well, I’m sure you have a lot to get done before the wedding.

Ashland: As a matter of fact, I have some business that I need to attend to.

Billy: I know whatever brought you to genoa city has to do with ashland locke because he is desperately trying to keep something hidden.

Gaines: I’ve already told you —

Billy: Don’t tell me that you’re his lawyer because you don’t have a license to practice anymore.

Gaines: I’m a consultant on retainer.

Billy: Then why misrepresent yourself like that?

Gaines: Eh, old habits die hard.

Billy: That’s one option. The other option would be you and ashland have an agreement because you know something that he’s willing to pay to keep quiet. I’m gonna take your silence as a “yes.” It’s only a matter of digging before I come up with the rest of the details.

Gaines: Well, there is nothing to uncover.

Billy: Or I can have my team over at chanccomm take over. They’re highly motivated, very well funded. Of course, we could come up with a financial agreement between the two of us. What do you say, jesse? Do you mind if I call you jesse? A very lucrative financial agreement, right here, right now.

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I mean, how does a young guy even know how to begin to form a new identity?

Phyllis: I know, especially when anything legal leaves a trail.

Nick: Shady friends and associates? What are you looking at now?

Phyllis: I’m looking at a national database right here. I am looking for death records or a deceased actual ashland locke who died, right? And then this guy that we know — he assumed his identity, what, like 30, 40 years ago.

[ Keys clacking ]

[ Sighs ] There’s nothing. I mean, you and I both know it’s easy to pay somebody off, to get someone to look the other way, do a favor for you, if you have enough money.

[ Keys clacking ]

Nick: I mean, he’s got money now, but this identity switch happened, what, decades ago, before he got this job at the station with camilla rhodes in new jersey, before he became successful. According to locke, you know, he had a rough childhood, an abusive father, and no resources. He needed a fresh start.

Phyllis: Do we really believe that story? Really?

Nick: I mean, my dad does, probably because it hits close to home, so that part of the story does ring true. But everything we’ve discovered today, nothing leads us to the fact that ashland locke might be a fabricated name, and there’s no paper trail pointing us to a legal name change. So let’s just assume for a moment that ashland locke was a real person and his identity was legally established.

Phyllis: Yeah. An actual ashland locke that this guy that we know took his identity, just stepped into his life. He paid for it.

Nick: Maybe he took the name from someone who was really sick.

Phyllis: Or someone who wanted to just disappear.

Nick: But paid him off with what? I…

Phyllis: [ Sighs ]

Nick: I don’t know. You know, maybe it wasn’t a deal at all. Maybe ashland locke’s dead, you know? That’s why the name’s not popping up in any of the databases.

Phyllis: Possibly.

Nick: Where do we even begin?

Phyllis: I have an idea.

[ Keys clacking ]

Victor: You know, the fact that ashland changed his name obviously raised some questions.

Victoria: Obviously.

Victor: But not with me. I want you to know that, okay? I, um, was very moved by what he said. A lot of it resonated with me.

Victoria: Yes, daddy, because of your own past, of course.

Victor: You know, I’ve always prided myself on my ability to read people. Based on that, I made a lot of important decisions in my life and in business. And I could see in his face as he was talking about his childhood how painful that was. And yet he was able to extricate himself from that abusive childhood and become a very successful business tycoon and become the man that he is now.

Victoria: You know it meant a lot that ashland opened up to us. He’s never shared that part of his life with anyone.

Victor: You know, it was billy boy who made him re-live all that. Billy abbott is a liability, always has been, always will be. He’s the one you have to watch.

Victoria: I’ve spoken to billy about this. I’ve begged him to stop digging around in ashland’s life.

Victor: But he hasn’t, and he can’t, because he’s insanely jealous of your relationship with ashland, alright?

Victoria: Well, he says that he’s worried about the children.

Victor: That’s hogwash. Please, sweetheart. It was a giant mistake to invite him to your wedding. He can’t stand the fact that you’re happy with ashland, that you’re with someone who is 10 times the man that billy boy ever was, ever will be.

Victoria: Well, even if that’s true, daddy, he’s hardly a threat.

Victor: Sweetheart, do me a favor. Be careful. The only reason billy boy wants to come to the wedding is to spoil things for you, to make you unhappy.

Billy: I’ll keep your name out of it. You’ll be an anonymous source.

Gaines: What would I have to do?

Billy: Fill in the blanks. Tell me how ashland locke was able to finance the two news stations that he acquired from camilla rhodes’ estate that launched his career. ‘Cause I have a feeling there’s more to the story than a young upstart with the midas touch striking it rich.

Gaines: Just for the sake of argument…

Billy: Mm?

Gaines: …How much would something like that be worth to you?

Billy: How does $100,000 sound?

[ Knock on door ]

Ashland: Gaines!

Phyllis: Ugh. Is there any other information you can give me on this guy? Different names, addresses, anything?

Billy: My dad’s P.I. Turned up some information about him working at that station in new jersey with that woman camilla, and that is what began has meteoric rise in the industry.

Phyllis: Okay, great, because that’s public record. That is easy to find.

Nick: See, I thought that was a non-issue, but it is a good place to start.

Phyllis: Yeah. Alright, looks like the station is in a place called toms river, new jersey.

[ Keys clacking ]

Nick: Can you find out when he started working there?

Phyllis: Yeah. Looks like he was 20 when he started working there.

Nick: So, I guess the big question is, how long before he took that job at the station did he assume his new identity? What are you looking at now?

Phyllis: I’m pulling up a list of deceased males around ashland’s age. I’m going to get a list together, and we will eliminate those who do not fit.

Nick: And that’s how we find out whose identity locke took.

[ Keys clacking ]

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victor: Ashland.

Ashland: Victor. Must be the day for me to run into my future in-laws. Good to see you.

Victor: You look like a man with a lot on his mind.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Ashland: Oh, everything is fine. I was just meeting with one of my attorneys.

Victor: Ah. Nothing urgent, I hope?

Ashland: No, just tying up some loose ends. You know how it is. The only thing I want on my mind the day of my wedding is your daughter.

Victor: Talking about my daughter, I just came back from her office and saw that magnificent portrait on the wall.

Ashland: Captures her essence, huh?

Victor: You actually managed to get merrill londeree to do that painting?

Ashland: I can’t believe you recognized her work.

Victor: Oh, yeah.

Ashland: Well, I’m glad to hear that you have that reaction because I was hoping I didn’t have to dig out the boxing gloves.

Victor: [ Chuckles ] Well, who knows?

Victor: Your skill in the ring is part of the legend of victor newman. I hope someday you can teach me the ropes.

Victor: And one day perhaps we shall do that.

Ashland: We haven’t spoken since I called the family together and revealed the events that led to my changing my name, starting my life over with a clean slate. I hope it didn’t change your opinion of me.

Victor: Well, it has, you know? But not in the negative way that one might assume. What you have lived through could have taken your life in a totally different direction. You could have followed in the footsteps of your father and led a life of abuse and pain and addiction. I understand what you went through. And I respect that you pulled yourself out of that mire and became the man that you are today and became as successful a businessman as you have become. And I also appreciate the fact that you opened up to everyone. Must have been painful. So, I will tell you that I am impressed with your background and your life. And I welcome you into our family.

Ashland: [ Chuckles ] Thank you, sir. I just want you to know it means the world to me.

Victor: Now, you understand, of course, why I had to vet your background.

Ashland: As I told you, I’d have done the same thing if i were in your shoes.

Victor: I also want you to know that I will always, always look out for my daughter.

Ashland: She’s your daughter. I would expect nothing less. And I want you to know this. I will protect her just as fiercely. She’s everything to me.

Victor: Good to know.

Phyllis: Alright.

[ Keys clacking ] We narrowed the field down to three guys, three men around ashland’s age, cause of death, down to every single detail. Psch.

[ Sighs ]

Nick: You know what? That one right there looks very promising.

Phyllis: Yeah. Ashland number two.

Nick: He fits the profile. He best supports our theory.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. Are you sure you want to do this?

Nick: I have to.

Phyllis: I know you have to. But I really, really want you to think about it. This could change everything. And I mean your relationship with your father, your relationship with your sister, with ashland himself, the merger, everything.

Nick: I can’t walk away.

Phyllis: I just want you to think about it for a minute.

Nick: Phyllis, we talked about this.

Phyllis: I know we just talked about it. It was conjecture. But, I mean, things are about to get real.

Nick: Well, you said you knew I was doing this for the right reasons.

Phyllis: And you are. I truly believe that. You’re doing it because you love your sister. And — and that’s beautiful. But it just seems like, all the conversations you told me that you’ve had with victoria… she knows something shady is going on and she doesn’t want to admit it.

Nick: Well, if we come up with some dark secret about ashland, I just have to hope she knows it’s coming from the right place because I love her so much and respect her.

[ Sighs ] It’s just… I can’t quit. I got to see this through.

Phyllis: Yeah. Okay. Then we’re gonna do this. One of these three men might have been the real ashland locke.

Nick: And if that’s true, then who is this man that my sister is planning to marry?

Ashland: Well, you have nothing to worry about as far as I’m concerned or my past.

Victor: Well, then, ashland, I suggest we look forward to the future.

Ashland: Nothing would make me happier. This calls for a drink.

Billy: Well, if it isn’t two captains of industry soon to be joined by law. Fil and sil.

Ashland: I beg your pardon?

Billy: Father-in-law, son-in-law. The big day’s fast approaching. Very exciting. A lot of moving parts. It’s funny how forgetting one small little detail can bring the whole thing crashing to the ground. That would be a shame. Good day.

Victor: Billy boy. You cause one second of heartache for my daughter during this happy time… I will crush you.

Billy: Good to know. (Lucky) uh-oh the magic’s disappearing!

[ Knock on door ]

Victoria: Come in.

Phyllis: Hey!

Victoria: Phyllis.

Phyllis: Yeah.

Victoria: What brings you by?

Phyllis: Well, um… oh, my goodness. Wow. That’s a statement.

Victoria: Yes. Well, you’re not the first to react the way. That was the idea. I mean, it was ashland’s idea. He had it commissioned.

Phyllis: Really? Oh. Th-that’s sweet. I bet that didn’t score points with your dad.

Victoria: Oh, actually, he was here earlier, and he loves it.

Phyllis: He does? Wow. Okay. Well, do you have his portrait? Because nick needs a dart board for our rec room.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] That’s funny. Thank you so much for the laugh. I appreciate that. So, what — what are you doing here?

Phyllis: Um, you forgot your bracelet, um, when you were getting your facial at the spa, so…

Victoria: Oh. You delivered it personally? Did my brother put you up to that?

Phyllis: No. Why would he?

Victoria: I was just looking for a logical reason.

Phyllis: Well, I do nice things for people someti–

Victoria: But not for me, no.

Phyllis: Well, I mean, I-i was in the neighborhood. I had errands, and I thought i would just bring it by. Don’t make a big deal about it.

Victoria: I’m trying not to, but that’s two days in a row now that you’ve been kind.

Phyllis: Civil.

Victoria: Almost downright friendly.

Phyllis: Okay, don’t get carried away. “Friendly.” I mean, I have a reputation to uphold.

Victoria: Noted, noted. But I’m definitely sharing this with my brother. I think he’ll be just as surprised as I am.

Phyllis: Why do you say that?

Victoria: Or maybe there’s something else going on here?

Phyllis: Listen, you’re about to get married and you’re nick’s sister and I just want us all to be happy.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Is that your groom?

Victoria: It’s abby.

Phyllis: Oh, okay. I’ll let you take that.

Victoria: Phyllis. Thank you, um, you know, for taking the trouble for this.

Phyllis: My pleasure. See you.

Victoria: Abby. I’m so glad you called.

Billy: Lily, I’m telling you, this gaines guy — he knows exactly what ashland is trying to hide. Well, you saw the look on his face when he saw that I was talking to gaines. And he tries to pawn it off like it’s his east coast attorney. Give me a break. So, here’s the thing. Gaines said that he will give us an exclusive if the price is right. And if he delivers, I promise you it’ll be worth every penny. I’m gonna meet up with him in a little bit to discuss. I’ll call you after? I will. Okay. I love you, too. Bye.

[ Cellphone clatters ]

[ Exhales heavily ]

[ Sighs ] So much for the big italian wedding.

Victoria: You did what?!

Abby: I couldn’t let you get married to a guy without having a heart-to-heart with him first.

Victoria: And? What did you think?

Abby: I can see why you fell in love with him. Ah, his face every time he mentioned your name — he just lit up. And all of those stories about him being a monster — they’re total garbage, okay? He is a sweetheart, and I will defend him to anyone who says different.

Victoria: Have I told you lately that you are the best sister in the entire world? I’m so glad that you got to spend some time with him.

Abby: I am so happy for you, victoria. He’s smart and funny and powerful. You have finally met your equal. You deserve this.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Your carpets are filled with memories.

Nick: Alright, thanks so much. I appreciate it. I will see you shortly. Bye.

[ Door opens ]

Phyllis: Hey, look at you. You’re already packed.

Nick: Jet’s gassed up and ready to go. I’m gonna fly to new jersey and then go down to toms river and follow up on those three deceased young men that we tracked down, one of whom could be the real ashland locke.

Phyllis: Wow, this is all coming together really fast.

Nick: Thanks to you. I never could have done this without you.

Phyllis: Yeah…

Nick: Everything alright?

Phyllis: Yeah. I just keep on thinking about the position that victoria is in. That’s all.

Nick: Look, she’s gonna be better off if she knows the truth, whatever it is.

Phyllis: Yeah. But I don’t know…

Nick: Phyllis —

Phyllis: You’re doing the right thing. I believe you are doing the right thing. You’re a very good brother.

Nick: Thanks. Hopefully I come back with some answers.

Victoria: Thank you so much for calling, abby. Yes, of course we’re gonna get together soon. And give my love to dominic. Okay. Love you. Bye. There you are! I was actually starting to worry until I got a call from abby.

Ashland: Well, what’s the verdict? Did I pass the brother-in-law test?

Victoria: Yes, it seems like you’ve made quite the impression.

Ashland: Ah, well, it was good to get to know your sister better, even though I had to postpone some of my own personal business.

Victoria: Does that personal business include the surprise that you were alluding to earlier? You know, the one that you were arranging some large amount of cash for.

[ Glass thuds]

Gaines: [ Sighs ]

[ Knock on door ] Finally.

Victor: Mr. Gaines, i presume? By the expression on your face, I guess you recognize who I am. Let’s talk about you. What are you up to?

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Moses: Sharon’s not making you work, is she? Why are you really backing out of our date?

Victoria: I just heard that nick took the jet to new jersey. I want to know why.

Nikki: Back the hell off, billy, now. And do us all a massive favor. Don’t show your face at the wedding. You’re no longer welcome.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Just tell me, is my mom okay? Did she contact you? Okay. Sorry. I didn’t mean to mislead you. I haven’t actually heard from your mom. But you — you just said —

[ Knock on door ] Hold on. Oh. Hiya, maxie. Hi. Hey, britt. Wait a second. Wait a second. Is this about liesl? Okay, I spoke with nina, and I have some information on liesl’s disappearance.

[ Cellphone ringing ] What’s up? Hey, are you busy? Kind of. I’m at the gym. Volleyball practice got canceled. Ah, I see. Well, how long until you’re done? About an hour. Why? Well, I’m with trina at charlie’s right now, and she wants to run a theory by you. Mm, I kind of want to finish my workout. Can it wait an hour? Did kevin leave? Yes, just now. Where’s esme? She left a little while ago. Kickboxing, and she mentioned something about going to some interior design boutique after. She wants to redecorate her room.

[ Chuckles ] Boy, she’s full of ideas. Yeah. Esme is all about creativity and thinking outside the box. And you chose to miss all of that to hang with your father? Lesser of two evils.

[ Chuckles ] You okay? Yeah. I mean, sonny’s back. I’M… beyond grateful that he’s alive. Yeah, me, too. But underneath all that joy, I just keep wondering… …what happens next?

[ Sighs ] You stalking me? No, I, um — I was taking this to my brother’s grave site, and I saw someone here, and I wasn’t sure if that was you. You didn’t recognize the wardrobe? Partly. But I didn’t know that you’d be up and around so soon. I know you left the clinic against medical advice. H-how — how you doing? A-are you feeling any after effects from that smoke inhalation — you don’t get to do that. Do what? Act like you give a damn. This is the grave site where my family grieved because of you. Don’t you think for a second… …that I’ll ever forget that!

Turns out, peter was tracking me. He knew I went to texas, and then he followed me when I went to visit nina in nixon falls. When I left, he approached nina and pressured her to help him find louise. And when she refused, he tried to kill her. Is nina okay? Yeah, no thanks to peter. He tied up her and her friend and set the building on fire. Aw, for crying out loud, maxie, what does this have to do with liesl? Peter told nina liesl had been handled. Handled? What — what does — what does that mean, that — that he killed her? No, maybe that’s just what he wants everybody to think. I mean, “handled” could mean anything. Typical peter double-speak, you know? I mean, besides, he’s on the run, trying to find louise. Why take the time to abduct my mother? I was just about to get to that part. Hello, liesl. Finally. It’s been days. I’m going stir-crazy in this room. Your minions barely talk or look me in the eye, just a lot of nodding and smiling. I warned them not to fraternize. Well, I can’t have you charming my people into doing your bidding the way you did that poor fool kirk in geneva. I didn’t charm dr. Kirk. I survived him. Where have you been? I wanted to give you time to adjust to your… new reality. All you’ve done is give scott and britta time to find me. Now, why would they be looking for a dead woman? I’m glad esme’s making her room her own. I want you both to feel comfortable here. Oh, don’t worry. Esme is comfortable wherever she goes. Well, that’s an admirable trait. I’m glad to get to know more about the girl who’s captured my son’s heart. Esme is the coolest. She’s beautiful and smart. She tells it like it is. I never connected with anyone the way I connected with esme. Esme sounds very special. It’s good to have someone like her in your corner. That she is. Esme’s the best. Joss is at the gym right now. Are you good to hang out here for a while while she finishes up? Mm-hmm. Uh, hey, joss. Bottom line — esme’s up to something, and she’s dragging spencer

along with her. I’ll be right there. Josslyn, hi. Are you in the kickboxing class? Actually, I’m on my way out. Enjoy your class. Oh, josslyn, wait. You can’t leave. Sonny: You like my headstone? My family wanted to leave me a marker, even though they didn’t find my body. This is the place where they would grieve. Of course, I’m one state away thinking, “where’s my — the family who cares so much about me? They’re not looking for me.” You have every right to be angry with me. You’re damn right I do! You knew about this. And I was just going on with my life. You could have stopped it months ago, but you didn’t! I know it’s not enough to say, but I’m so sorry for the pain that I’ve caused you. Me? What about my family, my kids? Avery knew who I was, but donna… didn’t recognize me. I was like a stranger to her. And you say you — you know, you feel bad for what you did to me, but not one word… for my wife, carly. So, how’d it go after I left? Good. Uh, sonny stayed up practically all night with the kids. Yeah. I-I went up to bed to give them some time alone, and, uh, sonny — he slept in the guest room. So, I had, um, sonny’s clothes brought down from the attic, you know, everything I packed away. And he put on one of his suits this morning, and it was really great to see him looking like himself. I bet it was. What about you? Where did you go? Uh, home, to my apartment. You haven’t lived there in a while. Yeah, well, you and the kids needed me here. You don’t anymore.

didn’t you say that there weresurveillance cameras in the parking garage? That’s how they knew you didn’t shoot jason. Maybe I can get my mom to see if the hospital security will let me look at the footage to see if esme was anywhere near ava’s car that night. I’m gonna be honest. I think involving your mom is a bad idea. I mean, do you remember the trouble I nearly got my mom in when I accessed the hospital records using her password? I get where you’re coming from. Then we’re back to trapping esme and spencer into confessing that they’re the stalkers. I don’t think that’s the right way, either. You sure are coming up with a lot of obstacles. How about you come up with some solutions? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I just personally think that the best option is being straightforward. I mean, maybe if you, me, and joss, we talked to spencer — I already tried confronting esme and spencer, and it was a disaster. And, I mean, think about it. If they’re guilty, why would they just admit to it? You have a history with spencer. Is he the confessing type? No. Spencer’s fallback is always deny, deny, deny. Okay, then. We have to be as devious as esme and spencer. We have to lay a trap for them. I can’t leave? Why not? I just, uh, get the feeling you’re avoiding me. No. I need to be somewhere. Oh, too bad. I thought this would be a good opportunity for us to spend some time together, you know, hang out. Spence told me what a good friend you’ve been to him, and anyone important to him is important to me. Well, it sounds like things are getting pretty serious. Definitely. Did you know we just moved into wyndemere? I think he mentioned it, um, but things have been so crazy since sonny came back. Wait, what? Sonny corinthos, spencer’s uncle? I thought he was dead. Yeah. Turns out he’s not. Um, I’m sorry, esme. I-I have to change. People are waiting for me. Oh. No worries. Uh, there’ll be plenty of time to get together. I’ll be around. You know, I was really surprised when you introduced me to esme. It was a night of surprises. Starting with a party you hadn’t cleared with me.

[ Scoffs ] And ending with you terrorizing me and my guests. I hope you’ve found a way to forgive me for thinking you were ava’s stalker. We’ve already hit the reset button on that, haven’t we? I applaud your capacity to let go. I know how difficult that can be. Forgiveness does not come easy to us cassadines. Check. You stole months of my life to get back at carly. No, that’s not what it was about. Then why? Because I… because carly was t-trying to take wiley away from me. She was trying to erase me from his life. And you wanted to erase me from carly’s life. So you wanted to punish her, make her pay. All the talk about y-your grandson’s other grandmother and how unfair it was? No, but everything I said was true. I just want to be in his life. You even told me to fight for wiley. I did not say that! That was mike. Mike doesn’t exist. He’s a phantom and — and my name on the back of my father’s watch. I clung to that, to phyllis, to lenny, and — to me. I didn’t think I’d find you in nixon falls. I didn’t expect to — to keep you a secret, certainly not for all those months. I admit, at first, it was about carly. But the second I knew what happened to you, I picked up the phone, sonny, to tell her. And she — she threatened me with legal action, and I just froze. I couldn’t do anything. Yes, I held back. You wanted to hurt her. Yeah, I wanted to hurt her, as much as she hurt me. But that all changed when I got to know you as mike, sweet mike. And we got closer and closer. I didn’t plan any of this. I didn’t expect things to wind up the way they did.

[ Sniffs ] That’s it? That’s your excuse? That’s what — no. It just happened? No, there’s no excuse for any of it. I’m — I was just hoping that maybe… you’d understand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand. You stole my life from me. You know, I kept thinking about how, um, I thought we were gonna get so much pushback when we told people that we were getting married. And in the end, almost all of our family and friends said, “of course. It makes sense.” Because it did. You know, we got married because we thought sonny was dead. Otherwise, we never would have done it. Right. And now sonny’s back with his family where he belongs. But, jason, I can’t help but think… …if things would have been different… …we would have had a wonderful life together. Yeah, I think so, too. But, you know, that’s not — that’s not what happened.

[Inhales] What’s going on? Ava’s leaving port charles. She’s walking away from her entire life because of this whole stalker situation. Okay. But when you called me, you said that this was about spencer and esme. Well, I just ran into esme at the gym, and I am positive I was right the first time. That girl is not to be trusted. There’s just something about her. Right? She’s sketchy. Beyond. What do you think she’s gotten spencer into? I think spencer and esme are ava’s stalkers. They’re acting as a team. Sure, spencer was in wyndemere when ava’s car got torched, but that was also the night that esme showed up. And I know she had a supposed alibi, but it was lame. Look, I’m not defending spencer, but I do not see him torching a car. Because he didn’T. Esme did. Well, if they’re in on it together — maybe esme did it and spencer didn’t know about it, or maybe he did, and he was okay with it. Either way, they’re working together. Cam, you’re pretty silent. What do you think? Look, I know I’ve been pumping the brakes on this, but it is kind of weird, spencer being in town on the down-low for so long. I mean, he was really upset when — when ava refused to testify against valentin. That’s why my grandmother sent him away — for his own good. I mean, spencer, he can hold a grudge. And esme’s working him every chance she gets. I mean, I know that spencer likes to think that he’s all sophisticated, but I think he’s in way over his head with her. Esme’s very persuasive with “spence.” Game. So, why were you surprised by me and esme? What? You said you were surprised when esme showed up as my girlfriend. Why? Didn’t you think I had game?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I knew you had game. I’d just seen you with trina, and it seemed like you guys were connecting. And the couple times you mentioned her, it sounded like she was important to you. It’s not like that. I mean, trina’s great. And I like her a lot, but as a friend. All I can tell you is that night on the turret, you didn’t seem like a guy with a girlfriend. Nina had peter in her sights and didn’t call the cops? Or anna? So the trip to st. Lucia was a cover-up so that liesl could knock off peter august? That was the general impression that I got. What the hell? She should have called the cops. Okay, nina couldn’t call the cops ’cause peter was blackmailing her. W-what would he be blackmailing her over? Sonny. Sonny? What — what the hell does he have to do with this? I already know, maxie. Jason told me. Alright. You two girls now need to tell me what is going on.

[ Sighs ] Sonny corinthos is alive. You need to say that again, because, uh, I-I-I’m starting to think I’m in the middle of a nightmare. Sonny corinthos is alive and well. He came home last night. Of course he did, because he’s impossible to kill, ’cause he’s like a palmetto bug! Okay, you know what? I think that we should refocus here. Um… okay, liesl told nina to tell peter that there was a lead on louise in st. Lucia and that anna and valentin were hot on the trail. Nina thought that would convince peter to go, but somehow, peter found out what was going on and turned the tables on them. So we were gassed up. They hijacked the plane. Wait a minute. That’s why liesl said that she can’t die. She needs to help nina. Britt: Plane crashes are peter’s M.O. He did it to silence drew cain. I mean, who’s to say he wouldn’t do it again? Yeah, but wait a minute. Why would they chuck me out like a sack of potatoes? I mean, I was a loose end. And — and where’s the evidence of the plane crash? Because there wasn’t one. My mother’s not dead. Victor, let’s stop this cat and mouse. You’ve proven you can get to me whenever you want. That being the case, let me go back to port charles. I have urgent business there. Family business — a grandson, a very troubled niece, and, oh, yes, that bumbling idiot you call a boyfriend. I also have a daughter who needs ihre mutter now more than ever. Yes. Britt’s diagnosis is troubling. Huntington’S. Dreadful disease. Yet one more reason to hate her father. Cesar is dead. Hating him is a waste of time and energy. I must focus… on my daughter. I was supposed to attend a medical conference touching on cutting-edge research for her condition. Remarkable how a symposium on inherited diseases just happened to pop up into your inbox at this exact moment in time. There was no medical conference.

[ Sighs ] It was a trap. Have you no shame?! Why should I be ashamed? Everything’s worked out neatly. I-I’d always planned to bring you here anyway. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. And now you detain me when britta needs me. She needs you alive. You see, I saved you from yourself. Oh, we both know you had bigger plans in st. Lucia than merely attending a medical conference. You took advantage of the situation. You didn’t give a damn about me or my real life. And while I was cleaning beer off of a-a bar, the entire empire that I built, everything that I cared about, was threatened! But you — but you were away from all that.

[ Chuckles ] No, listen. You were away from the mob for once. You weren’t in danger. You were safer in nixon falls than you ever would be here in port charles. So you were protecting me? Is that what you’re saying? For my own good? It’s not your job, and I don’t want it. I’m not some drifter, you know, living off the kindness of strangers. I could — I could have taken all the worry from phyllis and lenny. I could have made a call and — and just erased all their debt, given — I would have given them security. And maybe for just a little bit of time… lenny could have had some peace. What you gave lenny and phyllis was so much more important. You gave them friendship, love, and loyalty. You’re right. I lied to you. I kept you away from your family and your friends and your business. But you’re wrong about mike. He wasn’t just a hapless drifter. He…was loyal. He was hardworking. He was fearless. He was a devoted friend. He was a good man. Maybe the kind of man that you always longed to be. So take it from someone who had the privilege of knowing him up close and…personal. Mike the bartender was just as real as sonny corinthos. This morning, I walked in to the kitchen, and sonny was making coffee. Like always. Did it finally taste right? It did. I missed you. And I worried about you. You don’t have to worry. I’m fine. You always say that. Because it’s true.

[ Sighs ] I mean, things will just go back to the way they were. You know, it’s all we can do. You got a life and a — and a family with sonny. You’re a huge part of that life. Please tell me that’s not gonna change.

maybe we could somehow record spencer and esme without them knowing. What if I accuse them and then leave? Then they might say something incriminating when they think they’re alone. So you’re talking surveillance equipment? Okay, don’t hate me, but I’m the one having second thoughts now. I mean, esme is one thing, but do we really want to trap spencer? What if it exonerates him? That’s the outcome I’m hoping for. Joss, I think you’re right. Spencer’s in over his head with esme. But before she came and I was getting to know him, sure, spencer’s a lot, but beneath all that posturing and arrogance, there’s some real vulnerability, maybe even some kindness. I’d agree with that. Spencer can be astonishingly sweet… when he’s not being totally self-absorbed and oblivious. That’s why, despite everything, I don’t want anything bad to happen to him. Despite myself, I’ve kind of gotten to like him. Spencer: Trina and i were good friends. Was that all? Because before I met esme, I thought the two of you were heading toward something. Okay, sure. There was an attraction, a spark. Trina’s beautiful, smart, direct. And she’s just a good person, you know, one of those people who genuinely wants to do the right thing without being too preachy. Why wouldn’t I like her? But it can’t go anywhere. Esme’s my person. Oh! Good, you’re together. Hey, what happened to, uh, kickboxing and home decor? I had to rush back to tell you. Spencer… your uncle is alive. What are you talking about? Sonny corinthos? He — he came home last night. Josslyn just told me. Uncle sonny’s alive? That’s fantastic! He’s — wait until you meet him, esme. Uncle sonny’s the best. If sonny’s back, avery’s protected. Ava won’t have to worry about her daughter so much. Uh, thank you, esme. I have to go.

[ Door opens, closes ] Why are you standing there grinning like the cheshire cat? Because my uncle, who I love, is alive. And your father just took off so fast that he left a vapor trail. Can’t you see this is a disaster? When I intercepted you, I also let peter know that he nearly walked into your trap. He was most appreciative. You will regret your dealings with peter. Everyone does eventually. And to be clear, that degenerate has threatened to kidnap my own beloved james and use him as a substitute for his own lost child. If that happens, if peter gets his hands on james or harms nina or maxie or my britta, I will hold you responsible. Oh, I’m well aware of the hazards associated with peter, though I still think henrik suits him better. If you’re trying to win me over by disparaging peter, don’t waste your breath. I loathe him. But that doesn’t make me feel any warmer towards you. It’s not good strategy to antagonize me, liesl. Have I hurt your feelings? You’re acting against your own interests. Britt may not have long before her symptoms manifest. Do you really want to spend what could be her last healthy months here, locked up in this room? What do you want? Forget your foolish, stubborn pride. And let me back into your heart. Whew! No, I-I’m okay. Okay, I’m just relieved. I was really afraid. Look, I-I pray that you’re right, but what makes you think that liesl still alive? Scott just said it. He’s a liability. Peter hates loose ends. If he wanted to kill my mother, he would have crashed the plane, whether you were on it or not. Maybe he’s holding my mother hostage for leverage. Oh, this is the first time I feel confident that we can find my mother and rescue her, assuming she doesn’t rescue herself first. Well, now, wait, I wasn’t just, you know, given the bum’s rush and thrown out of that plane. I’m here. I’ve got a new mission, and that’s to save your mother’s life. Just because I remember who I am now doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten… what happened… the last nine months. I remember when you came to me, we — we were talking. We were dancing. Mm. I remember everything. How you led me on and didn’t say anything. That’s unforgivable! I know. That’s all you got to say? I have plenty to say, but none of it’s gonna make a difference. All my reasons, my justifications, my excuses that I made to myself, it’s not gonna make a difference. Yes, I was angry with carly. But nothing I did in nixon falls was malicious. Just the opposite. I would see you… how you were there. You were laughing. You were at peace. I wanted to give that to you. I didn’t know what I’d lost. I didn’t know what your lies took from me. I hope I didn’t cause any problems between you and carly. I know you’re not going to believe this, but all I ever wanted… was for you to be happy. Jason: I’m not going anywhere. No matter what it costs? It costs me nothing. You can’t lose what you never had. And what you have with sonny, that’s — that’s real. So, did he say anything else about where he’s been? Um, just, um… a small town in pennsylvania and that the locals were good to him. I think he’s waiting to talk to you about it, I think. Yeah. Yeah, probably. Sonny’s never gonna understand the big hole he left in our lives when he disappeared. Or the void I would have fallen into if it weren’t for you. Yeah. We were there for each other. Like always.

hey, lighten up. You’ll love my uncle sonny. He’s a little intense at times, but when he loves you, he’s got your back 100%. That’s what I’m worried about. Didn’t you hear your father? He said sonny could protect avery, which takes away ava’s incentive to leave. Where do you think your father’s heading right now? Ava. Just when we were this close to breaking them up for good. We have to do something. Hey, guys. Uh, is ava around? She wasn’t at the gallery. That’s because she already said her goodbyes. Can I talk to you for a second? I know how close you and ava are. I’m sorry, mr. Cassadine. I have to stop you right there. I can’t tell you anything ava told me in confidence. I get that, but I need to know where ava went. If I can find her, I might be able to stop her from leaving port charles. How? I don’t have time to explain. All I can say is that the situation has changed. Will you help me? You say you’ll let me see britta? Why should i trust your word? Because, as you can plainly see, I-I still have feelings for you. I can plainly see you’re trying to manipulate me, lure me into complacency. Oh, no, just the opposite. You’re a brilliant woman, liesl. I-I want us to help each other.

[ Chuckles ] You have a strange way of asking for my help. A gilded cage is still a cage.

[ Sighs ] Collaborate with me on a certain research project, and I guarantee you’ll have contact with your daughter. And if I refuse? Then you stay here, far away from your last surviving child. All those years you spent devoted to faison, and how did he repay you? By murdering your beloved son. Britt’s all you have left. She’s a lovely woman. She reminds me a lot of you. No sign of huntington’S… yet. And I can give you a way to be with her. All you have to do… is cooperate. Well, I’m glad that, um, we requested donations to the alzheimer’s association in lieu of presents, ’cause now I don’t have to return anything for the shortest marriage in history. I mean, how long were we married? Three hours tops? I mean, I know it wasn’t legal, but, um… …I meant the vows when I said them. Yeah, so did I. We’ll be okay, right? We are okay. You’ve got me, and I’ve got you. No matter what. No matter what.

[ Sighs ] Sonny: Don’t worry about carly and me. I’m at home with my family… where I belong. Good.

[ Sighs tearfully ] I’ll try to stay out of your way. I’m really, really sorry about all the pain that I caused you and your family and the time that I took from all of you. I’m sorry. And I’m really sorry about letting you fall in love with me. I should’ve known better. And I sh-should have known better than to fall in love with you, too.

I could help you, but ava might already be gone. You think she already left? She did say something about making one last stop and some unfinished business. Okay. Thanks. What was that about? Inspiration. I know how we can trap esme and spencer. Don’t over-think this. Ava’s leaving today. She might already be gone. Father can try all he likes. He won’t change her mind. Should we really take that chance? After all our hard work? Our hard work paid off. Ava made up her mind. Any last-minute appeal made by my father won’t make a difference. Mother’s been in tight situations before and survived, okay? We just need a lead. Some idea of where she might be. Look, liesl’s held her own with peter before, okay? Uh, he’s so arrogant and overconfident. Yeah, well, now, that will be his downfall, because letting me live — big mistake, because I am going to find liesl, and I’m gonna take peter august out! I can’t lose britta, not after losing my nathan. I have no choice but to trust that you’ll keep your word. Oh. Don’t worry, my darling. The worst is over now. Wrong again, “darling.” Whatever happened in nixon falls is over. Yeah, you’re back in your life. I accept that. But I can’t pretend the last nine months didn’t happen. Mike will always be in my heart. You need to stop fooling yourself. Mike’s gone. You need to forget that he ever existed. I can’t do that. I will never forget what mike and I shared.

[ Sighs ] You good?

[ Sighs ] Is it weird for you? Yeah, I mean, it’s a little weird. But it’ll wear off. But getting there is gonna be, um… yeah. Yeah. I know. We’ll get there. Well, I got to go. Um, I-I’m gonna have to talk to diane about this whole buscema and novak thing. I know the cops are gonna call, so… hey. There’s still something we need to talk about. What are we gonna tell sonny?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ben: I told you we should have brought an umbrella.

Ciara: [Laughs] How was I supposed to know that we were gonna get caught in a downpour on our way home from the jazz club? It was your idea, remember?

Ben: Yeah. Well, if beats waiting for a ride share. Besides, a little stroll in the rain never hurt anybody.

Ciara: Yeah. Go ahead and speak for yourself. I am an absolute mess right now.

Ben: Really? You look perfect to me.

Ciara: [Chuckles]

[Tender music]

Chanel: Sorry I’m late.

Johnny: No worries. Did you have second thoughts about coming over here tonight?

Chanel: Not at all. Just slightly nervous about watching “the exorcist” for the first time.

Johnny: Oh, I didn’t think you’d bail over a movie. I thought maybe my sister convinced you to ghost me.

Chanel: Johnny, we went over this. Allie said she apologized for calling you a player and that she was totally fine with it if I wanted to date you.

Johnny: And she meant it?

Chanel: Doesn’t matter. It’s my decision, and I have decided to allow you to bask in the pleasure of my company.

Johnny: [Chuckles] And for that, my dear lady, I’m very grateful.

Steve: Poor doug. Is he gonna be okay?

Kayla: Well, it’s too soon to tell, but he was resting comfortably when I left.

Steve: Do you have any idea why he collapsed?

Kayla: It’s a mystery actually. I mean, all the readouts were inconclusive.

Steve: How’s julie dealing with all this?

Kayla: Well, she’s rattled, as you can imagine.

Steve: You said she’s worried doug might have dementia?

Kayla: Yeah. And now this. What they’re going through, it just breaks my heart. And god forbid she loses doug. I don’t know what she’d do.

[Monitor beeping]

[Door opens]

Eli: Hey, grandma.

Julie: Oh, eli. Darling, I was just about to call you.

Eli: Hey, I’m so sorry I had to leave earlier. We did arrest a suspect, but this was as soon as I can get back.

Julie: Doesn’t matter, doesn’t matter. The important thing is you’re here now.

Eli: Yeah. How’s doug?

Julie: Well, stable. Doctors gave him a lot of sedatives so he could rest. Thank god.

Eli: Wait, sedatives? What happened?

Julie: I don’t know. The session with marlena went on and on and on, and I finally wanted to check on him so I opened the door and he was on the floor. I thought we’d lost him, eli.

Eli: Where was marlena?

Julie: There. I mean, she was standing right there, she was in shock. Took quite a while, she finally called for assistance. Eventually, she told me he’d collapsed. But getting an answer out of her was like pulling teeth.

Eli: I–then, I guess it’s like you said. She was in shock, but I mean, she has known you and doug forever, but…

Julie: Darling, to be perfectly honest, marlena was not herself.

[Eerie music]

Demon marlena: [Winces] You and I made quite a splash all those years ago, didn’t we, marlena? But mark my words. Salem ain’t seen nothing yet.

[Laughing maniacally]

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

[Soft orchestration]

[Gentle music]

Ciara: Hey, how about we get out of these wet clothes?

Ben: You are just full of these exceptional ideas tonight, aren’t you?

Ciara: [Laughs]

Ben: Mrs. Weston.

Ciara: Hmm.

Demon marlena: Ooh. What an absolute sight to behold! What’s it been? About 25 years? You look absolutely marvelous, marlena.

[Chuckles] Why, if I didn’t know better, I’d–I’d think you had made a deal with the…

[Laughs] With me. Oh, and speaking of deals, it’s a very good thing that you let me back in, because if you hadn’t, that old soul, doug would be paying the ultimate price.

[Laughs]

John: Oh, geez. I’m sorry that took so long, doc. You know, I get all the way over there and they tell me that they mixed up our order and they– they mixed up our order and they gave our…food away. Doc, you all right?

[Ominous music]

Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Oh, I still feel bad about not being in the mood tonight–to entertain.

Both: [Laugh]

Abe: Look, I told you. I understand. We’ll have john and marlena over another time.

Paulina: No, right, right. Of course.

Both: [Laugh]

[Mellow music]

Abe: [Sighs] I have to tell you. I really enjoy us being together. Just the two of us.

Steve: Abraham! Come on over.

Paulina: Well, so much for just the two of us.

Both: [Laugh]

Abe: Well, well, well. Hello there.

Steve: Hey, man.

Abe: Yeah.

Kayla: Abe, it’s so good to see you. And you must be paulina price.

Paulina: Oh. [Chuckles] That would be me.

Kayla: Oh, it’s so nice to meet you. We’ve heard so much about you.

Paulina: Oh, and you must be steve and kayla johnson.

Kayla: Yeah. Oh.

Steve: How do you know that?

Paulina: Because you are exactly as abe described you.

Steve: Ah, let me guess. He told you about the patch?

Paulina: [Chuckling] Oh, no. Abe showed me a photo that the two of you were in from a salem celebration. Now, as I saw it, you, kayla, are the beautiful blue-eyed blonde, and you, mr. Johnson, are the sexy pirate.

Steve: Oh.

Paulina: Oh, even more so in person actually–sexy, I mean.

Steve: Okay, okay. You’re gonna make me blush.

[Laughter] How about you guys join us for dinner?

Kayla: Yeah, do.

Paulina: That would be lovely.

Abe: That’s great, yes. Here you go, my dear.

Paulina: Mm, ah. And, ah–I sure do see the resemblance.

Steve: Resemblance?

Paulina: Mm-hmm. I do believe I’ve met another good-looking member of your family. Oh, yes, same color hair, same color eyes.

Steve: Must be talking about my son.

Paulina: Yep, who you must be so proud of, on his way to becoming a doctor.

Kayla: Well, we’re both so proud of him.

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Steve: So how did you meet tripp?

Paulina: Oh, well, he’s an acquaintance of my daughter. Such a charming young man.

[Chuckles]

Johnny: Listen, I, uh… I kind of need you here.

Chanel: You need me? To watch a movie you’ve already seen a bunch of times?

Johnny: Yes. I’m doing research on my movie and I want your opinion.

Chanel: So you’re still planning to make the movie about your mom?

Johnny: Is that a problem?

Chanel: Uh, yes. Because didn’t your grandmother get possessed by the devil? And according to allie, your grandfather doesn’t want you dredging up the past.

Johnny: Eh, I’m sure he’ll come around. Now, will you do me a solid and watch this movie with me, please?

Chanel: And I have a feeling I am so gonna regret this, but sure.

Eli: Why would doug say he went into her? Who is he? And who is her?

Julie: I haven’t the faintest idea.

Eli: Maybe he was just confused and didn’t know what he was saying.

Julie: Yeah. Yeah, that’s the logical answer. I’m not sure it’s right.

Eli: Why is that?

Julie: When he had these experiences, when he locked me in the freezer, when he groped paulina, there was a look, an expression in his eyes unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Not like himself. Then a little while ago when he tried to talk to me, he was my precious doug again. He was not confused, and he was trying to tell me something.

Eli: Tell you what, grandma?

Julie: [Sighs] I have no idea.

Doug: [Muttering]

Julie: Oh, he’s waking up.

Eli: Maybe now we can get some answers.

John: Hey, doc.

[Chuckles] Did you just hear anything that I just said?

[Mystical music]

Marlena: Sorry. I was lost in thought about doug.

John: Oh. Any updates on his condition?

Marlena: Not since I left the hospital.

John: Hmm, I’m sure julie must be a wreck.

Marlena: Julie. Yeah. Julie is overwrought.

John: You look a little shaken yourself, honey. Probably for the best that abe and paulina canceled our dinner today.

Marlena: Yeah, I–I would not have been up for that.

John: Hey, sorry. I didn’t mean to leave this out.

Marlena: Why were you going through that?

John: Well, I dug it out of the closet after johnny left. He was–he was hoping to get an answer whether or not you and i were gonna finance his film.

Marlena: Oh, yes, the sami movie.

John: And… what happened to you.

Marlena: You can say it– when I was possessed by the devil.

John: I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it. I was just hoping that we would never have to think about that time in our lives again– that we had, you know, just put that horrific experience decades behind us. But, no, no, no. Here comes johnny. He’s just gonna dredge that old thing up. I gotta tell you. Got a bad feeling about that, doc. Is olay better than your clean beauty?

[Tender music]

Ciara: [Sighs]

[Thunder rumbling] Is new orleans the perfect place for a honeymoon or what? The music, the food…

Ben: The lovemaking.

Ciara: [Laughs] Well, maybe that is perfect everywhere we go.

Ben: Mm-hmm.

Ciara: And it’s definitely my favorite part of the honeymoon.

Ben: Mine too.

Ciara: Mm.

[Sighs]

Ciara: But you know, if I had to choose something for second place, I really did enjoy being around oak alley. But not only because of what it meant for my parents, but because it was such a powe anth

Ben: Yeah, I agree.

Ciara: Yeah. I could tell that the experience really affected you too.

Ben: Yeah.

Ciara: You were really quiet after we left. Was there something on your mind?

Ben: Actually, yeah. Just something the tour guide said.

Ciara: Ashleigh? What did she say?

Ben: She said in order for us to move forward, you have to reckon with your past. And anything that was built on violence or ugliness will always be there underneath the surface. You can’t ignore it.

Ciara: Yeah. I remember her saying that too, but what does that have to do with you?

Ben: In a way, I felt like she was talking about me.

Chanel: What the– why is she walking like that? Oh, hell no, turn it off. Turn it off!

Johnny: Okay. Not a fan of the spider walking scene.

Chanel: A fan? Now I’m gonna have nightmares for months. How is a movie that’s almost 50 years old this scary?

Johnny: The director’s a fricking genius, that’s how. William friedkin. I mean, the way that he depicts regan’s possession and displays it on screen, that’s unmatched even today with all the cgi. I’ll be lucky if my movie turns out half as well. What? Why aren’t you saying anything?

Chanel: Johnny, don’t do it. Do not make your movie.

Paulina: Mmm, mmm, mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mmm! Well, this is the juiciest burger I have ever chomped down on.

Kayla: My brother roman knows his way around a grill.

Paulina: Mmm. A man who can cook? In my book.

Abe: Well…

Steve: Judging by the smile on paulina’s face, I’d say you’ve been showing off your culinary skills to this lovely lady.

Paulina: He sure has. He’s a whiz in the kitchen.

[Laughter]

Abe: Well, actually, I was going to cook dinner tonight.

Paulina: Oh, now come on. Don’t make me feel bad. Abe invited john and marlena over for dinner tonight, but I wasn’t up for, you know, entertaining, but I mean, abe tells me that john now has had a lot on his mind lately so I guess it’s worked out for the better anyway, right?

Abe: Hmm.

Steve: John okay?

Abe: Yeah, you know, he’s okay. It’S… he’s been ruminating a lot about the past lately.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, oh?

Steve: Well, he didn’t say anything to me about it. What’s going on?

Paulina: Come on, honey. Don’t just drop things like that then clam up. Tell us, tell us what the man was ruminating about.

Abe: Well, he’s been thinking a lot about the time when marlena was possessed by the devil.

Paulina: [Chokes, coughs]

Doug: [Groaning]

[Monitor beeping] Julie?

Julie: Yes, darling. Yes, I’m here, and so is eli.

Doug: [Laughs softly]

Julie: Sweetheart, you’re in the hospital. You had a little fall. You’re gonna be okay. Do you remember what happened to you?

Doug: Huh?

Julie: You were in a therapy session and you collapsed.

[Tense music]

Doug: Huh. Marlena.

Julie: Yes. Yes, marlena was with you.

Doug: H-help… marlena.

Marlena: So what did you say to johnny about the movie?

John: Well, I told him that I would have to finish discussing it with you and then I’d get back to him with an answer.

Marlena: Did he ask about possession?

John: No, not directly. In fact, when he came over, he hadn’t even read that part of his script yet. But obviously he has now because he sent allie over here to confirm that that story was true.

Marlena: Oh, and what did you tell her?

John: I lied to her, said it never happened. And then I started feeling guilty so I told her the truth, but I made sure she understood that in the end, good triumphed over evil.

Marlena: Right.

John: A little tricky explaining the exorcism, though–you know, how I performed it believing I was a priest at the time even though it turned out later I wasn’T.

Marlena: Certainly had me fooled about that.

John: Excuse me, what was that?

Marlena: Uh, nothing. I was, uh, just saying that none of us really understood it.

John: Well, thankfully, it didn’t matter if I wasn’t a priest because you were saved. And you know something? After all these years, going through that box has just reinforced my belief that it was our love that defeated the devil– well, that and of course, our faith in god.

Marlena: Put that– put that damn thing away!

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

[Thunder rumbling]

Ciara: Ben, I don’t think that what ashley said about oak alley applies to you.

Ben: No, I know that. But her words… still got to me.

[Sighs]

Ciara: Yeah, but you haven’t been ignoring your past. Actually, you have been actively facing it.

[Soft dramatic music]

You have been going to therapy, you’ve been acknowledging the pain that you caused others, and you’re doing your best every day to try to make up for it.

Ben: Doesn’t change who I am. I was a man even capable of murder, and no matter how much I try to atone for what I did, for the lives I took, it’s always gonna be a part of me. For the rest of my life.

Paulina: [Coughing] Whew, that fry went down the wrong way.

Abe: Are you okay?

Paulina: [Coughing] Yeah. Except I thought I heard you say that marlena– dr. Marlena evans was possessed by the devil.

Abe: Yes. Yes. You did hear that, that’s why I didn’t wanna get into it.

Paulina: [Scoffs] Come on. He’s pulling my leg, right? I mean–oh, that can’t possibly be true.

Kayla: Oh, we certainly heard the stories.

Steve: Yeah, but we weren’t in town at the time.

Abe: Well, I was, and I can assure you that it really did happen.

Paulina: Oh, you– wait, come on, you’re telling me that the devil, also known as satan himself was here in salem?

Abe: Yeah. I mean, you know, you can imagine how horrifying that was for john and marlena– for everyone in this town, in fact.

Kayla: But that was decades ago. Why is john dwelling on that?

Abe: Because– now wait for it– johnny dimera is making a movie about sami’s life.

Steve: Wow, sounds ambitious.

Abe: Yet his ambitious and very disturbing since marlena’s possession is going to be part of it.

Johnny: It’s just a movie, chanel. The wonderful world of pretend.

Chanel: Was it pretend when it happened to your grandmother?

Johnny: We don’t know for sure that it did.

Chanel: Allie said your grandfather confirmed it.

Johnny: Look, if it’s a true story, even better. It’s gonna help me sell my movie.

Chanel: But–

Johnny: Trust me. There’s nothing to worry about. Now, can we finish watching this movie?

Chanel: [Sighs] I don’t know.

Johnny: If you get scared, just, uh, squeeze my hand.

Chanel: All right. But you’re paying for my therapy bills.

[Ominous music]

John: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, hey, sweetheart, what’s going on? Why are you so upset?

Marlena: I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to snap at you. I can guess you’re right. I guess you’re right, you know, this–this whole conversation, all these bad memories, I guess I’m just a little bit on edge.

John: Well of course you are. I’m right there with you.

Marlena: Yeah. Why don’t you–why don’t you just put that back in the box and then–and maybe we can stop talking about it.

John: Yeah. You see what’s going on here? This is exactly why johnny shouldn’t be making a movie about any of this stuff here. You know, in a way, I just feel it’s inviting evil back into our lives.

Marlena: Yes. I think you could be right about that.

Doug: [Mumbling, grunting]

Julie: Honey, just calm down. Calm down, we’ll get you help. We’ll get you help. Just be calm, sweetheart. Sweetheart, eli–eli, please, I wanna get a nurse and let her know that he’s awake. Would you watch him? I’m gonna call marlena too just in case she can come down.

Eli: Yeah, sure.

Julie: Make him feel better.

Eli: Okay.

Julie: Okay.

Doug: Marlena. Marlena.

[Grunting] Marlena. Did you know faded, dingy, and rough fabrics

[Thunder rumbling]

[Soft dramatic music]

Ciara: Baby, I get that your history is something that you can’t change, but you do not have to let your past define you. Can’t you just focus on all the good? And how much progress you’ve made? On how you saved my life, on how happy you make me, or doesn’t that count for something?

Ben: Of course it does.

Ciara: Well then, please stop torturing yourself.

Ben: Just easier said than done right now. My past has been on my mind a lot lately.

Ciara: Why now?

Ben: Full confession. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since…

Ciara: Since what?

Ben: Since you said you wanted to have a baby.

Paulina: Excuse me. I’ve gotta use the little girl’s room.

[Laughs] Maybe say a few prayers while I’m in there.

Kayla: Always a good idea.

Paulina: I agree.

Kayla: [Laughs]

Paulina: Back in the minute.

Abe: Well, so what do you think of paulina?

Kayla: Oh, abe, she is terrific.

Steve: She’s great, man. And funny as hell.

[Laughter]

Ben: I am so glad you all like her because if everything goes my way, well, you’re gonna be seeing a lot of her.

Steve: What do you mean if everything goes your way?

Abe: Tomorrow night, I’m going to propose.

Kayla: Oh, we are so happy for you.

Steve: Oh, man.

Abe: Thank you, thank you.

Steve: Great news. Great, sir.

Abe: Yes, sir, yes, sir. Ah.

[Chuckles] Well, I’ve gotta tell you, I have it all planned out. Lani’s gonna keep her busy and then I’m going to– I’m gonna make this surprise dinner.

Steve: Oh, you gotta make sure to make all of her favorites.

Abe: Oh, I’ve already made note of that. And then I only have one thing left to do and that is to get her daughter’s blessing.

Johnny: Ow. Ow. Ow! I said squeeze my hand, not break it into a million pieces.

Chanel: Sorry, but this exorcism scene is just too much. I can’t take anymore.

Johnny: It’s the best part.

Chanel: No, no, if her spinning her head around 360 degrees is the best part, I’m good.

Johnny: You at least have to see how it ends. I’ll fast forward.

Chanel: I hope you know I wouldn’t be putting myself through this for just anyone.

Johnny: Just anyone? What are you saying, chanel? That I’m special?

Chanel: I’m saying you owe me, big time.

John: Good. So you agree then that johnny shouldn’t be making this movie?

[Cell phone ringing]

Marlena: Excuse me.

John: [Sighs]

Marlena: Hello?

Julie: Marlena, I am so sorry to disturb you.

Marlena: Well, hi. Is everything okay? I hope doug hasn’t taken a turn for the worst.

Julie: No. In fact, he just woke up.

Marlena: He woke up? I thought he was heavily sedated.

Julie: Yeah, well, he’s pretty groggy, but he’s very agitated.

Marlena: Really? About what?

Julie: Well, it’s almost impossible for me to understand him, but one thing was clear. He keeps saying your name.

[Foreboding music]

What can I du with less asthma?

[Thunder rumbling]

[Soft dramatic music]

Ciara: Ben, what does having a baby have to do with your past?

Ben: What if that sickness that made me do those horrible things got passed on to our child? Ciara, an innocent baby. Mental illness can be hereditary.

Ciara: Yes. I guess in some cases it can be. Wait a minute. All those concerns you had about having a baby with me– the extra financial burden, the childcare, the wanting to spend more time with me– those were all just excuses?

Ben: They were not excuses. Those are all legitimate concerns, ciara. I mean, having a baby changes your entire life.

Ciara: No, of course. I know that. But at the heart of it all, you not wanting to pass down your bad genes to our baby– that’s the reason why you wanna put this off?

Ben: Yes.

Abe: [Sighs] Well, she’s not picking up, so I guess I’ll stop by the bakery tomorrow and talk to her then.

Kayla: Well, I can’t imagine paulina’s daughter not approving of her mom marrying you, the mayor of salem, not to mention the greatest man on earth.

Steve: Not to mention, anyone can see how in love you two are.

Abe: Wow. It’s that obvious, huh?

Steve: It’s that obvious.

[Laughter]

Abe: Well, you know, this is crazy. I mean, I only met her earlier this year. Already, I can’t imagine living my life without her.

Kayla: You know, I think that she feels the same way. I mean, just the way she looks at you.

Steve: It’s so great that you’re getting married, man.

Kayla: We couldn’t be happier for you, abe.

Steve: Yeah.

Paulina: And why is that?

Marlena: It’s not a problem at all. I will. I’ll see you soon. Bye. I’m afraid I’ve gotta cut our evening short. Doug is asking to see me.

John: Oh, that’s all right. I understand. I’ll clean everything up here and put the leftovers away.

Marlena: Thank you.

John: Yeah. And please tell doug and julie I’m thinking about ’em.

Marlena: I will.

John: And I’ll say a prayer for ’em while you’re gone.

Marlena: How thoughtful of you.

John: Yeah. Bye, sweetheart.

[Foreboding music]

Demon marlena: I cannot have that bumbling old man telling people that I am back.

Doug: [Muttering]

Eli: Hey, a nurse came by to check doug’s vitals. He seems okay. Is marlena coming?

Julie: Yes. Darling.

Doug: What?

Julie: It’s your wife. I called marlena. She’s on her way. She’s coming to help you, sweetie.

Doug: No, no, no. Marlena, no.

Julie: What about marlena?

Doug: She needs help.

Julie: I don’t understand. Marlena is the one who needs help?

Doug: Yes.

Your mission:

[Thunder rumbling]

Ben: I’m sorry for not being upfront with you about my feelings, ciara. I just… I don’t ever want to disappoint you. And I know how much having a baby means to you.

Ciara: Means to us. Ben, can you just please be honest now, okay? If you’re saying that you don’t wanna pass down your genes to your baby, does that mean that you might never wanna have a baby with me?

Paulina: So why is it that you’re so happy for abe? Aside from the fact that he has such a fascinating dinner companion tonight.

[Laughter]

Kayla: Oh, well, that’s it, actually. We’re just so happy that the two of you found each other.

Steve: Yeah. And we’re looking forward to seeing a lot more of you because we think that you are definitely a keeper.

Paulina: Oh. I knew I liked you, both of you.

[Laughter] Oh, I gotta say. Well, salem is just brimming with some wonderful people.

Abe: Well, you know what?

Paulina: Mm-hmm?

Abe: The brady pub here is brimming with wonderful desserts. So is anyone interested?

Paulina: Always. But no devil’s food cake, not after what you told me about marlena.

Steve: Yeah. Better avoid that.

Paulina: You know, I still can’t believe that woman was possessed. That kind of thing, it only happens in the movies.

Chanel: [Sighs]

Johnny: See? It all worked out in the end. The devil was banished.

Chanel: Yeah. And the two priests ended up dead. I’m not sure I’d call that a happy ending.

Johnny: Ah, yeah. But that’s what ups the dramatic stakes. I mean, that’s the kind stuff that gets the people in the seats, which is why I’m scrapping the rest of will’s screenplay…

Chanel: Oh, thank god.

Johnny: And I’m rewriting it. I’m gonna go bigger. I’m gonna go better. I’m gonna make my grandmother’s possession the sole focus of my movie.

[Elevator dings]

Marlena: Ah.

Eli: Hey.

Marlena: Oh, hi.

Julie: Marlena, thank you. Thank you. I’m so relieved that you’re here.

Marlena: Of course. So has doug said anything since you called?

Julie: Well, no. He’s been mostly asleep, but he did say one thing…

Eli: Yeah.

Julie: That we found strange.

Eli: Initially, we thought that he was asking for your help, but turns out that he was saying you were the one that needed help.

Marlena: Oh. Well…

[Chuckles] He’s clearly confused. Poor man is having a very hard time communicating.

Julie: Yes, yes. I’m sure that’s it, and I’m just praying that you can put him at ease.

Marlena: Well, you know I’ll do whatever I can. Oh, something else?

Julie: I thought I’d go with you.

Marlena: Oh. You know what? I think it’s best if I see him alone.

Julie: Of course. Again, thank you for being such a great friend.

Marlena: Yeah.

Julie: Thank god she’s here.

[Sighs]

[Eerie music] =

John: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For thou art with me.”

Doug: [Grunting]

John: “Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies. Thou anointest my head with oil. My cup runneth over. Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the lord forever.”

Doug: [Grunts] Marlena.

Demon marlena: Doug, seems like you’ve been a little bit of a tattletale. I think we’ll just have to do something about that.
