THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ] Epiphany. Hi. Can you give me some information about a patient that was brought in last night? A certain attorney? You are not scott baldwin’s family. Oh, no, no, I’m not, but I am a very important client. I can only give information to his family. Excuse me. May I help you? Actually, I’m hoping I can be of help to one of your patients. Anna: What’s the update on scott’s condition? Uh, still disoriented. Mm. But despite parachuting out of a plane unconscious, he has no broken bones or serious injuries. Jordan: Can we see him? Yeah, ’cause the sooner that we can talk to him, the faster we can unravel this story about him literally crashing into finn’s campsite. Well, at least we know scott’s safe and sound. That’s more than I can say about my mother. These aren’t mine. Where am I? Scott?

[ Grunts ]

[ Grunts ] My schnitzel. My liesl.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Uh… is it — is it true? Did you really, um… drop from the sky? I — I don’t know. Like a nightmare, I mean, but — I’m in a hospital bed, aren’t I? I guess so. Well, scott, I’m just — I’m — I’m so grateful you’re okay. You know, I-I hope you know that. Oh, ava, ava. I didn’t think you still cared about me. Oh, scott!

[ Chuckles ] Of course I do. Of course I care. It’s been six weeks, you know, since you filed for my divorce. And I need to know if it’s gone through.

[ Scoffs ] Oh, just put it on my account. Spencer cassadine. Uh, my manager told me you’re no longer on the account with us. Thanks, dad. Lunch is on me. I guess it’s true what my grandmother said — my independence is dependent on my father’s money. Then I think that it is high time that you and your dad put aside your differences. Not after he accused me of being ava’s stalker. Well, where would he get such an outrageous idea? He stabbed me. With a fake knife. I didn’t know it was fake when I saw it. How can I ever forgive him? I don’t know. Why don’t you ask your dad? Hello? Trina, it’s josslyn’s dad. Do you have a minute? Mr. Jacks, is joss okay? Oh, no, no, no. She’s fine. She, uh — in fact, she cooked me a lovely dinner last night.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I know. I helped her get ready. I have to say, the marinara sauce was the highlight. Didn’t you love it? I told joss it would be epic. Yeah, I thought for sure that josslyn picked it up at a specialty gourmet store, but then she told me that you were given the jar when you drove up to nixon falls to pick me up. Pretty spectacular, right? Yeah, it was pretty memorable. In fact, I’m dying to meet the person who made it.

I’ve never met the person who made the sauce. Oh, that’s too bad. All I know is that the lady who runs the roadhouse in nixon falls — I forgot the name. The — the tan-o? Yes! That’s it. She said the bartender made it. She didn’t happen to mention his name, did she? No, why? Well, I guess josslyn hasn’t really told you m-much about my work. I’m a venture capitalist, and I’m always looking for new investments. And this sauce was so good, I’m thinking about pursuing it. Well, nina reeves was friends with the nice lady who owned the bar. I’m sure she’ll know the name of the bartender. You know, I think you’re right. If anyone knows, it’s nina. Jax: Nina? Nina? What the hell? Well, thank you, trina. You’ve been a great help. Jax. Clearly, you didn’t come to cheer me up.

[ Sighs ] What’s wrong? Was this your idea? Please don’t blame esme. I appreciate you reaching out and asking me to join you both. You know, I always bought the party line at school that spence wanted nothing to do with you, but now that I’ve seen the two of you in person, I can tell just how much you care about each other. Yes, some people just have a very strange way of showing it. You know, with fake knives. Come on, spence. I know you. You give as good as you get. I don’t blame you for wanting nothing to do with me, but, son, I need you to hear this. Everything that I’ve done, even staying away all of those years — uh-uh, you mean letting me think you died.

Everything that I’ve done, I have done out of love. Local law enforcement conducted a thorough search of the campsite area where scott parachuted down. There’s no indication that your mom, or anyone else for that matter, parachuted with him. A-and why are you so interested in my mother’s whereabouts? Last I checked, you two hated each other. Yeah, well, we’ve sort of come to a bit of a truce. However, her going missing just makes me think that maybe someone else is involved. Like peter, maybe.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Then where is she?

[ Scoffs ] Where’s the plane? I mean, god knows my mother is resourceful, but she’s not houdini. She can’t just vanish into thin air. What is this place? What am I doing here? Oh! Clearly, the pilot needs assistance. No, come with me. Come sit back down and buckle up, for crying out loud! Okay, do you need help with this? No, liebchen. I need to survive this. I can’t die now. I have to help nina.

Mein gott, I have to find scott.

[ Grunts ] Open this door! You can’t do this to me! I’m liesl obrecht, damn it! Open the door!

[ Monitor beeping ] Look, scott — scotty, I’m not trying to be insensitive here, I’m not. I-I know you’ve had a stressful time of it. Although from what I hear, skydiving is really quite wonderful, right? It can be very exhilarating. That’s what they say. The bum’s rush out the door? I don’t think so. The point is, you survived, didn’t you? Meanwhile, my stalker is still out there, waiting to strike at me or — or my loved ones. Now, you told me that my divorce would take at least six weeks to go through. Now, isn’t there anybody you can call to nudge it along?

[ Sighs ] Well… ava, what are you doing here? Well, I was just, uh, visiting my very good friend a-and my attorney. Lives may depend on it. Anna: Yeah. Isn’t that right, scott? I’m not sure you badgering scott is really gonna be conducive to his recovery. Ava, let’s go. I’m counting on you, scott. Don’t you let me down. You just relax, okay? Epiphany: Uh, dr. Westbourne? Uh, whatever it is, epiphany, it can wait. I thought you would want to know that there’s someone else asking about mr. Baldwin. This is wyatt hoover. Pc pioneer second class. I’m a volunteer ranger’s aid. I was on duty last night when mr. Baldwin landed in the campground, or I guess I should say, he crashed. Yeah, “crashed” would be more accurate. What can I do for you, wyatt? I was cleaning up the debris from the fall when I found this. I thought it might belong to mr. Baldwin, and I wanted to return it. May I? It’s you. Yes. This locket belongs to my mother.

So tell me, what’s going on? Okay. I, uh… I made two pretty big decisions this year, and I thought I was 100% correct, and, um, but it turns out that they, um — they both — they kind of blew up in my face. Yeah, but that’s old news. This isn’t like you to rehash the past. You know me well. And you’re right. This isn’t about the past. This is, um… you see, I have another big decision to make, and I’m on the brink of doing something that I think is right, but what if I’m wrong again? It never gets old, you know. Hello, ava! And what never gets old? The love of art never gets old. Well, I hope not, considering I want a career in it. I was just thinking about the young high-school kid who showed up here wanting to be an intern. And you arrived with such a natural love of art, a desire to learn all you could. I still can’t believe my internship turned into a job. You’ve been such a mentor to me. Wait, that doesn’t even sound right. I hope you know that when I think about you, yes, you’re my boss and yes, you’re my mentor, but I also consider you to be my friend. Oh, trina. Did I say something wrong? No, I’M… I’m so honored to be your friend. And you’ve been something more than that to me. You’ve been like another daughter to me. And not that I want to step on your mother’s toes, or not that I would ever ask you to take kiki’s place… I don’t use this word often or lightly, but, trina, I… I cherish you. And that’s why I know it’s gonna be so difficult for me to say goodbye. You loved me so much that you wanted me to believe you were dead. When you were the only parent I had because my mom passed away before I even knew her. That’s the kind of self-serving garbage you expect me to believe? Spence, your dad’s here. Let him explain his point of view. Look, I know sometimes my methods are wrong. Okay, they’re often wrong. But you have to remember that valentin shot me with every intention of killing me. And knowing how the cassadine family operates, I couldn’t take that chance of you being targeted next. And so I laid low while I planned my return and my revenge. Spence, why’d you leave out so many details? I find this to all be fascinating stuff. Because valentin hasn’t been a threat in years. And quite frankly, he’s not even a real cassadine. Or are you insinuating that ava’s stalker isn’t the only threat out there? There has to be a knife. Or a bobby pin.

[ Grunts ] Anything to pick that lock. About time. I demand to know what’s going on. Good evening,

fraulein doktor. What’s this? Dinner, compliments of your host. Oh, how kind.

[ Sniffs ] And thoughtful. Open that door or I’ll gut you like a mackerel!

[ Grunts ] That is a very fine glass of

gewurztraminer. Your host has thought of everything.

[ Monitor beeping ] Scott, you have a visitor. Oh, a pc pioneer. I used to be one myself. I still buy christmas trees from you guys. Thank you, mr. Baldwin. On behalf of the pc pioneers, we’re grateful for your annual support. Yeah, I understand that — from dr. Finn, that y-you were there and — and you helped out when I-I-I hit the ground? I was able to get you out of the parachute. I have my honor badge in knots. Oh, well, that’s — that — that’s — that’s something. Thanks for coming in and checking on me. I did want to check on you, but I was also hoping to return something. I found it when I was cleaning up the crash site. Scott, this locket belongs to my mother. Do you recognize it? I do. When everything started to go haywire on the plane, she gave it to me and I stuck it in my pocket. Okay. [ Sighs ] I was hoping that maybe she made it out of the plane after all and dropped it during her own parachute jump. If I’d observed any other parachutes, I would have notified the authorities. There was only mr. Baldwin. Thanks, wyatt. Thank you for bringing this by. My mother will be very gratefulto have it back. Jordan: I confirmed that a private plane departed from port charles yesterday. It had two chartered guests — liesl obrecht and scott baldwin. Their destination was the island of st. Lucia in the caribbean. Right. I knew that obrecht was going on a medical conference there, but a private plane? Scott? I mean, I understand taking advantage of the low season rates at a resort, but why didn’t they fly commercial? It’s another question that needs answering. Though britt touched on the biggest mystery — what happened to the plane? What did the faa say? Just that the plane fell off the radar shortly after takeoff. There was no mayday call, no transponder signal, no evidence of a crash. I mean, the plane could be anywhere between here and st. Lucia. Or it could mean something else altogether.

mistake was helpingnina get visitation to wiley. What did you do?

[ Sighs ] Okay. I was on my way to the quartermaine gatehouse to talk to michael, ’cause, you know, he was my stepson and we have a pretty good relationship — well, we had a pretty good relationship — and I accidentally saw michael and — and willow, um, together. Together, together? Yes. Yes, together, together. Isn’t she married to chase? Yeah, which is a moot point now anyway, because she’s annulling the marriage to chase, but at the time, I-I used it as leverage to secure nina’s visitation to wiley. You blackmailed michael? No, I didn’t — I didn’t see it — like I said, I used it more as a leverage thing. I don’t — I re– honestly, I don’t know if we’ll ever get our friendship back. What’s your other mistake? Oh, yes. Yes. The other mistake. Um, when I found out that — that carly was taking over sonny’s family business, of course, josslyn was my first priority — her safety. That’s an understandable goal. What did you do? I secretly recorded carly in a conversation and tried to get her to incriminate herself.

[ Laughs ] I know. It’s just — go ahead, please. Let me have it. I’m not in any position to judge. I’m really not. Okay, so you told me your first mistake, your second mistake, and how they both blew up in your face, and now you’re gonna make another move that is also gonna blow up in your face. What’s going on? I — I don’t have all the details yet, and I’m still trying to connect all the dots, but if I’m right, a very good friend of mine who I care very deeply about is, um, probably making a huge mistake that could affect many other lives. You’re leaving port charles?! It breaks my heart. But I have no other choice. My mother taught me there is always more than one choice. Well, it’s my only good choice! Keeping avery safe is my number-one priority. I understand that, but didn’t you file for divorce? Isn’t that enough to satisfy whoever has been stalking you? No. It doesn’t seem to be, no. The only way I can protect avery is to stay away from nikolas, and that means leaving port charles, which means I have to sell charlie’s and give up everything that ties me here. Everything?! Well, except — except the gallery. I’m not selling the gallery. I-I’ve hired a manager and made it clear that you have a job here for as long as you want one. Ava, I don’t think you’re listening to me. It’s not about the job. It’s about our friendship. I need you. I have no reason to believe that another cassadine is plotting something, but given our family’s history, it is always wise to look both ways before crossing the street. He’s trying, spence. Can’t you give him that? What I see is someone who wants it both ways — the freedom to do whatever he likes in the moment, and then the ability to justify it afterwards. Nikolas cassadine, ladies and gentlemen. Am I the only one? Be honest, spencer. Haven’t you ever done this same thing? Believed that the ends justify the — no, I thought we were talking about you and your mistakes. We are. But I am not gonna lose my son. I have already lost ava. Oh, there it is.

[ Laughs ] See how it always comes back to ava? You want her so bad? You can have her. You just won’t have me. I got along without you for years. I’ll do it again. I better go after him. No, let me. Spence, wait. Do not defend him. I don’t have to. You’re making his case for him. There’s nothing that would make me feel better but seeing your mother. You really care about her, don’t you? It’s not just some random hookup. No, not at — not at all. You know, when we were together and we were grieving over franco, and then things changed, and we were up in that jet and we hit all that turbulence, and, you know, we thought it was curtains, but we were together, see? So, I mean, I-I think that we were ready for the worst if that was to happen. You know? But — but it didn’T. No. Somehow, you survived, and we have to believe that my mother did, too. Yeah. I really need her. She needs you, too. And even more incredible… I have realized that i need her, too. Hmm. Hey, scott. Do you think you could tell us the truth about what really happened on that plane? Why are you assuming scott’s keeping something from you? Certain things aren’t adding up. Yeah. Wait a minute here. Don’t blame me. Last thing I remember, I-I was putting on my oxygen mask and then when I-I came to, I had dropped into finn and elizabeth’s campsite, literally. But why spend all that money on a private plane? W-well, I-I was targeted by one of those, you know, low-budget jet companies. I think I was scammed. Yeah. Yeah. Too good to be true. Uh-huh. And why were you headed for st. Lucia? Well, that’s where the conference was. You think I don’t know who’s behind this? Who resorted to hijacking to keep me from giving him the justice he deserves?!

[ Grunts ]

[ Lock clicks ] Tell peter august I’m not going to swallow his food, which has obviously been poisoned. If he wants to kill me, he’s going to have to find the courage to do it with his own two hands.

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Gasps ] No. It can’t be. Victor cassadine? Hello, liesl. As mark twain once said, reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

, What are you gonna doand who are you gonna do it to? Like I said, I don’t have all the details yet, and I am not willing to name names. Not to worry. I’ve already heard enough to know why you’ve come here to talk to me. Really? Because I don’t even know yet. Because you’re gun-shy. For the last year, you followed your gut two times and it’s blown up in your face. So now you just want to hear your theory out loud. You want to voice the question — “should I cross the line again?” Hmm. Well, if my gut feeling is right, someone else has crossed the line, and I would be trying to pull them back. But if I take that step, you see, I will set things in motion, and it might not stop until…

[ Sighs ] Someone gets hurt? Are we talking physically or emotionally? Well, considering the people involved, I would say both. Okay, okay. So you’ve come to me for advice. Yes. Let me think for a second. No. Walk away. That’s it. What? A-and leave the person I-I care about all alone? How do you know they’re alone? Maybe they went to somebody else for help. Maybe they put their trust in somebody else. You know what? That — that is a distinct possibility. Damn right. I mean, let somebody else do the heavy lifting, right? From one fixer to another… yeah? …Butt out. You don’t have to save everybody. And from the looks of things, if you try, you’re gonna get yourself really burned. This is about spencer, isn’t it? Well, w-what — what’s going on? I thought the two of you were clicking. I thought so, too. That was until the night of the party, when esme showed up. Who’s esme? His girlfriend from boarding school. Oh, no. Oh, I’m so sorry. They’re a lot alike — worldly, sophisticated. Hey, well, so are you. You happen to work in an art gallery. That doesn’t matter. Spencer was a wreck the night of his party, then esme shows up, and all of a sudden, he pulls it together. Or maybe he was covering. What his dad did to him was so messed up. I know. I tried to warn nikolas about it. I just hope the two of them can mend fences after I’m gone. What about avery? Well, I told you, I’m doing this for avery, you know? I cannot let anything happen to her, and I’m frightened, especially now that the stalker threw kiki in my face. Trina… don’t give up on spencer. I thought he liked me. Oh, I’m sure he does. How could he not? And yeah, it’s really poor form for him to flirt with you and not tell you he has a girlfriend. Then how could he do this to me? Oh, but he’s a teenage boy. Teenage boys are not known for their maturity or discretion. But I think he needs a friend like you. I think he needs you more than he knows. I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but you’re guilty of the same double standard you resent in your father. Or are you declaring your freedom from him while still expecting him to pay for everything? The price of being nikolas cassadine’s son is too high. Oh, really? I wasn’t aware you were fielding other offers. Ava’s out of the house and maybe out of his life for good. Wasn’t that the goal? Look, my advice? Figure it out with your dad or get used to the guest room at your grandmother’s, knowing dr. Collins will be keeping his expert eyes on you. I see your point. Are those really my only options? No. Go get a job and rent a room somewhere. But then where do I fit in? Right. Because our original plan included me living on an estate on a private island. And not that I don’t care about you regardless, but let’s be honest — we’re both high-maintenance and wyndemere is our best option. This makes no sense. You’re supposed to be dead. You burned to a crisp in the fire at crichton-clark. Hmm. Not to mention,

you shot me. Hmm. I was thinking about my son. I still can’t believe you thought killing me and letting faison live was the lesser of the two evils. It was at the time. And how did that work out for you, liesl? I’m truly, truly sorry for your loss. The good, like nathan, always die young. While the rest of us survive, whatever it takes. I don’t care how you managed to escape death. I only care that scott is still breathing. What have you done with him? Mr. Baldwin, uh… took a leap of faith, so to speak.

Gott in himmel, you didn’T…?

[ Chuckles ] Oh, don’t worry. Yes, he was thrown from the plane, but also, yes, he was wearing a parachute. Do you really think I’d be so cruel to someone you care about? In a heartbeat. That is, if you actually had a heart. My heart is beating right now. For you. Can’t you hear it? Liesl was, uh, going to this conference for huntington’s disease and some other inherited diseases. I-I was just tagging along, you know — a little scuba diving, some island time. Who else was on the plane? Uh, well, there was two pilots and there was, uh… a flight attendant. Okay. And shortly after takeoff, you hit some turbulence? Yeah. You know, liesl thought something might be wrong with the pilot, so she started to head to the cockpit and I said, “no, no, no. No, we need to go back to our seats and buckle up.” Then the oxygen masks dropped down, and so we put them on and we started gulping up some — some oxygen. And next thing I remember, I’m on the ground. Now, we were about, psh, 3,000 miles away from the devil’s triangle. Could the plane have been hijacked? Mm-hmm. It’s possible. But by whom? Do you need help with this? No, liebchen. I need to survive this. I can’t die now. I have to help nina. Anna: Scott? What is it? Do you know who could have done this? I’ve got his blood test results. Thank you, epiphany. Britt, what is it?

so, what do you think? Well, I’m thinking that my last two interventions were a complete disaster, so third time’s the charm? I wouldn’t be incarcerated if I didn’t try to take the law into my own hands, but I was drunk, so I could blame it on the booze. If you do something and it blows up in your face, you’ll have no one to blame but yourself. You won’t be able to live with yourself. And if I do nothing, will I be able to live with myself? Look, in either scenario, a lot of people are gonna be affected. I know. Visiting time is over. Well, thanks for listening and your advice. I’ll see you later. Okay. Jax? I think you already made your decision before you came here. Good luck. Thanks. Thanks for the talk, but I should be getting back to work. Oh, no, no, no, no. No, I want you to take the rest of the day off. Go and — and find spencer and stake your claim. Stake my claim? He’s not my property. Well, he’s not what’s-her-name’s, either. She may have a history with spencer, but so do you. Trina: I’m sorry. I just don’t know what to believe about you anymore. I get it. I do. And I’m really sorry. And if you want to tell ava and cam and joss that I pretended to be some guy named victor, I’ll understand. But you don’t want me to, do you? You want me to trust you. Trina, what’s wrong? Nothing. Just promise me you won’t leave before saying goodbye. Never. Now, go and find spencer. Okay. Hmm. Look who I convinced to come back to the table. Although it pains me to say it, you were right, father. I’m the last person who should be throwing stones. In case you’re rusty on spencer-speak, that’s his way of saying he wants to put things back together. Not the way it was, though. Better. I want — I want that, too. I’m so very grateful, esme, that you were able to bring us back together. If spence is happy, I’m happy. I hope this marks a new day in the annals of cassadine history, when all of the family ghosts are left where they belong — in the past. What do you want from me? The same as I’ve always wanted — your companionship. Not you. You’ve always had an agenda within another agenda. Oh, isn’t it enough that I saw you getting close to another man? You’ve had me under surveillance? As you rise from the ashes again and again. But when you turned to mr. Baldwin, that attachment seemed distressingly real. It is real. And if you hurt one hair on his head — let him go, liesl. I managed to heal myself from the physical wounds you inflicted, but I — I don’t think I could bear the emotional scar of losing you to another man. Deal with it.

[ Chuckles ] Never. And the sooner you accept that, the — the better off you’ll be. What does my blood work say? The test results indicate that there were trace amounts of trichloromethane in your bloodstream. Could you say that in english? Chloroform. Oh. Scott, you said the last thing you remember was putting on your oxygen mask. Yeah. What about it? Well, what if you weren’t breathing oxygen? What if you were being drugged to pass out so they could strap a parachute to you without you knowing who was responsible? But who’s “they” and what do they want? Yeah. W-w-why do they want liesl? Listen, I-I know my mom has no shortage of enemies, but why go to all that trouble?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Hang on. Anna, what is it? It’s a message from the wsb. Wait. Did they find her? I-is she okay? We seem to be dealing with a master magician here, because not only has an airplane and a person disappeared by sleight of hand, but there’s something else. Who else is missing? No, it’s not who. It’s what.

what was the name of the convention that liesl was attending in st. Lucia? Some convention for inherited diseases. At the hotel san souci, correct? What’s the point of this?! How is this helping us find liesl? Well, the conference never happened. And the organization that was supposed to be hosting it doesn’t exist. What? Try to enjoy your accommodations. I think you’ll find I have anticipated your every need. A gilded cage is still a cage! I will find a way to escape to be with scott. Nikolas: What do you guys want? You want tiramisu? Anything. Spencer: Tiramisu, yeah. That sounds nice. That sounds good.

[ Laughter ] Oh, I was not expecting to see this. Well, it seems esme has a future in negotiating peace treaties. Thanks to her, spencer and I have taken the first steps toward reconciliation. I am reinstating my son’s account. He’s good for it. Yes, mr. Cassadine. Trina, you look upset. I just left the gallery. Ava said the stalker won. She’s leaving town. Hmm. That is sad. But, I mean, it’s understandable if she’s doing it to protect her daughter. I mean, she wouldn’t want the same thing to happen to avery that happened to lauren. Who’s lauren? You mean kiki? Jax? Jax: Hey. What brings you here? I need to talk to you about nina.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Grunts ] My schnitzel. My liesl.

[ Chuckles ] Of course I do. Of course I care. It’s been six weeks, you know, since you filed for my divorce. And I need to know if it’s gone through.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Then where is she?

Mein gott, I have to find scott.

[ Grunts ] Open this door! You can’t do this to me! I’m liesl obrecht, damn it! Open the door!

[ Grunts ] Anything to pick that lock. About time. I demand to know what’s going on. Good evening,

fraulein doktor. What’s this? Dinner, compliments of your host. Oh, how kind.

[Tranquil music]

Ben: This is the way to honeymoon.

Ciara: I don’t know what is better, camping out under the stars or waking up to watch the sunrise.

Ben: What sunrise?

Ciara: The one that we just saw.

Ben: Oh, I must’ve missed it. I was too busy looking at my beautiful wife.

Gwen: “Despite overwhelming evidence that xander cook teamed up with a crooked doctor to sell stolen opioids, he is a free man. Despite disposing of the doctor’s corpse, he’s off the hook. How does a notorious thug facing multiple felony charges just walk away? Simple. He pays ej dimera, a gangster with a law license, to pull some strings. As citizens of salem, we must fight this brazen abuse of power. We must put cook behind bars. Until then, we must make sure shame follows him wherever he goes.” Oh god, poor xander. Publicly crucified for something he didn’t even do. I know we promised not to see each other, but–

Jack: Hey, gwen. Everything okay?

Gwen: I just read the hatchet job that you did on xander. How could you? That is for keeping my secret. That is for spending the night in jail. And this– this– this is for the million dollars.

[Rapid knocking at door]

Xander: She’s back. All right.

Ej: You made the paper.

Xander: Hmm. And jack wrote this?

Ej: It’s a complete hatchet job. He slammed me as well, which I understand. But I thought he was your friend.

Xander: Not anymore.

Ej: Well, you know what they say. Never trust a journalist.

Xander: I’m sure you didn’t come by just to warn me about the press.

Ej: No, I didn’T. I came to collect my million dollars.

Steve: Ooh. You’re still not feeling any better, sweetness?

Kayla: [Groaning]

Steve: Now that must’ve been some bachelorette party.

Kayla: What was I thinking letting bonnie talk me into doing shots? I should’ve been smart like you and justin.

Steve: Well, yeah, had a couple beers and smoked cigars?

Kayla: Yeah, I would have rather done that than this. I mean, throwing vodka down my throat, ugh.

Steve: Last night you said you had a great time.

Kayla: Well, last night, I was feeling no pain. I don’t think I can say the same for bonnie though.

Steve: What do you mean?

Kayla: I just thought that she would be bubbling over with excitement. She wasn’T. There was definitely something bothering her.

Justin: Morning, beautiful. See, you didn’t have to worry about those silly superstitions that say it’s bad luck for a bride and groom to see each other on their wedding day. We spent the night together and we’re waking up together. And nothing bad has happened.

[Door opening]

Bonnie: [Gasps]

Calista: I have something for you, bonnie.

Justin: Calista, what are you doing? This is our wedding day.

Calista: Oh, there’s not gonna be a wedding unless you want to marry a murderer.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Gwen: I can’t believe that you’d write such horrible things about him. I thought–I thought he was your friend.

Jack: Our friendship didn’t end because of me. Xander is the one who ruined it.

Gwen: What? So you just slam him in the newspaper then, completely destroy his reputation.

Jack: His reputation? He’s a career criminal.

Gwen: Okay. Look, you’re my father and I know you have strong feelings about all of this. But, jack, you should’ve handled this privately.

Jack: It’s my job to expose corruption. Xander is as corrupt as they come. He teamed up with that sleaze snyder to push pills on the street. And when snyder dropped dead, he dumped his partner’s body so that no one would make the connection.

Gwen: Jack, please–

Jack: You could’ve ended up dead or in jail, but not xander. No, no, no. He hired ej dimera to use his influence and connections to make it all go away. You think I should just ignore that?

Gwen: No, I don’T. But I do think that you could have hired a reporter to tell the public the story, and then that way they would’ve all just moved on and forgotten about it. But no, you had to scream on the editorial page and now everyone thinks that xander is some sort of monster. He does not deserve this.

Jack: He risked your life. Why the hell are you defending him?

Ej: I had all the charges against you dismissed. You could sue jack for libel. But I’m not doing you any more legal favors until I get my money back. Hand it over.

Xander: I will. After I get my job back at basic black.

Ej: You’ll have your contract today. But there had better not be one penny of that money missing or I’ll have those charges reinstated so fast it will make your head spin.

Xander: The money will be there.

Ej: I’ll be back.

Justin: What are you talking about?

Calista: Your little fiancée here murdered my husband.

Justin: I don’t believe you.

Calista: Well, then it’s a good thing I brought proof. I have the murder weapon right here in my bag and it has bonnie’s grubby little fingerprints all over it.

Justin: What the hell is that?

Calista: That is what blondie here used to kill my hubby.

Justin: Is this true?

Calista: Oh, I think the look on her face answers that.

Justin: You’re a killer? Oh, my god. I’m not marrying you.

Bonnie: No, no, no. I can explain.

Justin: Don’t bother. The wedding is off!

Bonnie: [Shrieking] No!

Justin: Bonnie, what–what– what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Bonnie: Oh, god, justin, it was horrible. Someone showed up out of nowhere and ruined our wedding.

Justin: Oh, sweetheart, it was a bad dream. Okay. Hey, hey, hey. Sweetheart, it was a bad dream. Everything’s going to be fine.

Bonnie: Okay.

Justin: Okay, our wedding’s going to be perfect. Okay?

Calista: I have something for you, bonnie. Your mission:

[Tender music]

Ben: Can I show you something?

Ciara: Of course. The poetry book that shawn gave us. What a lovely little wedding gift.

Ben: Yeah, I was going through it. And I found this one shakespeare sonnet that just totally hit home for me.

Ciara: How so?

Ben: It just reminds me of where I was in my life before I met you and where I am now because of you.

Steve: There you go, baby.

Kayla: Thank you.

Steve: Take those.

Kayla: I am never drinking vodka again.

Steve: Well, how do you think bonnie’s feeling this morning? I’m sure she knocked back her share too, huh?

Kayla: I know. I tried to warn her that she wouldn’t want a hangover on her wedding day, but she wouldn’t listen. There was–there was definitely something bothering her. I mean, she was determined to get smashed.

Steve: You don’t think she’s getting cold feet, do you?

Kayla: No. I think she can’t wait to marry justin. Thank you. No, there’s something bothering her, but all she would say is it had to do with calista lockhart.

Steve: Did you say calista flockhart?

Kayla: Lockhart.

Steve: Who the hell is that?

Calista: I have a present for you.

Bonnie: I don’t need any presents.

Calista: But it’s the perfect thing for your wedding day. It’s old, borrowed and blue.

Bonnie: No, no, please. Please. Please.

Calista: Well, easy, sister. Just want to give you this. It belonged to my late husband, harrison lord. Well, are you going to take it or not?

Bonnie: I really don’t need any presents, like I said. And that belonged to your late husband. I think he should keep it. And I already have something blue.

Calista: If you say so.

Justin: Well, we have a big day ahead of us. So I’m going to start getting ready. I’ll meet you downstairs for breakfast.

Calista: Where’s my money?

Bonnie: I don’t have it.

Calista: Why the hell not? I told you where to get it. From that xander guy at the salem inn. He’s sitting on a million bucks, which is just exactly what you owe me.

Xander: Ej better come through with that contract or he’s not getting a damn dime.

Nicole: Ej. I read jack’s editorial. It didn’t paint you in a very flattering light.

Ej: Oh, I’m not worried about that in the least. It’s better to be feared than respected. Huh?

[Laughs] Anyway, I’m not here for idle chitchat. I’ve come here to discuss a personnel matter.

Nicole: Okay.

Ej: I would like you to give xander his job back.

Nicole: Sure, yeah. That’ll happen over my dead body. To be a thriver

Ej: I’m the co-ceo of this corporation, and I’m telling you to hire xander back.

Nicole: Did chad sign off on this?

Ej: Forget chad. You answer to me.

[Nicole scoffs] I’ve drawn up a contract. Same terms as before. Sign it.

Nicole: No.

Ej: Excuse me?

Nicole: I know you’ve been out of the game for a while, ej. But perhaps you should familiarize yourself with the terms of my contract.

Ej: Why would I bother doing that?

Nicole: Because it includes a provision states that as the executives in charge of basic black, I.E., Brady and I, have full autonomy over all personnel decisions. And I’m quite confident that I can speak for my partner when I say there is no way in hell we are hiring xander.

Jack: Why would you defend xander after what he did to you?

Gwen: Have you gone completely mad? You just convinced my father that you’re totally responsible for crimes that I’ve committed.

Xander: Jack wanted to know why you went along with snyder on the drug deal. I knew you couldn’t explain that to him without… admitting that snyder was blackmailing you. And then jack would’ve wanted to know what he had on you. If jack ever finds out you lied about abigail being responsible for your miscarriage–

Gwen: [Sighs] I know. He wouldn’t want any part of me. I don’t understand that, wh– why did you cover for me?

Xander: Well, it’S… better for me to lose a friend than for you to lose your father.

Gwen: I already explained this to you the other day, jack. I sympathize with xander because I know what it’s like to be in his situation, to be desperate and destitute.

Jack: Because he’s broke, it’s okay to drag you into his criminal enterprise? Put everyone under this roof in danger! How can you excuse that?

Gwen: I’m not. I’m just saying that I understand it.

Jack: Well, I don’T. I don’t understand anything.

Gwen: What do you want me from me, jack?

Jack: The truth about you and xander.

Kayla: Calista is bonnie’s sister-in-law.

Steve: Never heard of her.

Kayla: Well, I don’t think that they had seen each other for a long time. And then calista showed up out of the blue and bonnie got carried away and invited her to the wedding.

Steve: And her name’s calista lockhart. Ha. Who’s she married to, harrison ford?

Kayla: No, harrison lord.

Steve: You’re kidding me.

Kayla: No, I’m not.

[Both laughing]

Steve: Come on.

Kayla: I’m not.

Steve: So who’s their kid? Ally mcsolo?

Kayla: You know, I have no idea. But all I know is that I think bonnie said that he’s dead.

Steve: So what’s this calista person like?

Kayla: I don’t know. She wasn’t there last night.

Steve: Okay. She came all the way to salem for the wedding and she didn’t go to the bachelorette party?

Kayla: I think there’s some kind of bad blood between them.

Steve: Maybe that’s why bonnie was so nervous last night.

Kayla: I don’t know. I mean, I just felt like she was dying to say it. She just wanted to unburden herself somehow.

Steve: But she obviously didn’T.

Kayla: No. In fact, every time I thought she was going to say something, she would just clam up and order another drink.

Steve: Wonder what that was about.

Calista: I told you yesterday I saw some hunk named xander walking into that hotel where you put me up carrying a briefcase with a million dollars in it.

Bonnie: I know.

Calista: So why didn’t you steal it?

Bonnie: [Huffs] I just– I couldn’T. Oh, come on. Look at me, all right? Look–look how far I’ve come. I can’t risk going back to prison. I’m marrying the most wonderful man I’ve ever met.

Calista: Yeah, obviously, he doesn’t know the real person he’s marrying.

Bonnie: Oh, believe me. Justin has seen the worst of me. He knows all about my past. And you know what? He believes I’ve changed. He believes I’ve turned my life around, and I have. And now, we’re in love. For crying out loud, it’s my wedding day! I got a lot on my mind. Can I just pay you later?

Calista: No. You screwed me once, sister. I’m not going to let it happen again. Oh, look at that. Better get crackin’. There’s only a couple of hours to take care of business before the wedding.

Bonnie: And what have i don’t?

Calista: Well, then, I will just show justin this little old gun, and your love story will be over.

Ciara: “When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes, I all alone beweep my outcast state. And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries. And look upon myself and curse my fate.”

Ben: Outcast and alone. That was me when I first met you.

Ciara: Would you read some?

Ben: “Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, happily, I think on thee. And then my state, like to the lark at break of day arising from sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate. For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings. That then I scorn to change my state with kings.” That, ciara, is exactly how I feel about you. Because when we are together… I wouldn’t trade places with anybody in the world.

Ciara: Neither would I.

[Stirring music]

We gave new zzzquil pure zzzs restorative herbal sleep

Nicole: Why would you want to hire xander, anyway? He’s a nightmare to work with. And he smells like patchouli.

Ej: So we’ll get him some new cologne.

Nicole: [Huffs] Trust me, ej, if I go along with this, you will live to regret it.

Ej: I won’t regret getting my money back.

Nicole: What money?

Ej: Samantha paid xander a million dollars to blow up your marriage.

Nicole: Oh, I knew it! I knew it even when you wouldn’t admit it before.

Ej: The point is, there’s no way in hell I’m letting either of them get away with it.

Nicole: Great, fine. Perfect. Just leave me out of it.

Ej: Xander won’t give me back my money unless I get him back his job.

Nicole: Well, I won’t work with him.

Ej: Xander was paid a small fortune to do what he did, and you’re okay with that.

Nicole: No. No, of course not, but think about what you’re asking me to do. How would you feel if I told you to hire lucas?

Ej: It’s not the same thing.

Nicole: Yeah, yeah, it’s a similar idea…okay? I’m not going to work with that– that person who destroyed my marriage.

Ej: We all have to put up with colleagues we don’t like.

Nicole: But I don’t dislike xander. I hate him with every fiber of my being. He is a living, breathing repulsive reminder of the worst mistake I’ve made in my life. And, you know what, to have to work with him every day– no. No, thank you. I’m not doing it. And you know, ej, do you really need the money?

Ej: It’s the principle. I can’t let samantha win.

Nicole: Well, I can’t let xander win, so…

Ej: Hmm. Suit yourself. But if you don’t sign this contract…you’re fired.

Calista: Well, hey, don’t you look handsome?

Justin: Thank you.

Calista: I hope you don’t mind–I just helped myself. Bonnie told me to make myself at home.

Justin: Of course.

Calista: And what a fabulous home it is.

Justin: Calista, please don’t take this the wrong way, but I have to say… I’m a little surprised that you’re here when bonnie’s never even mentioned you before.

Calista: Hmm. Well, you know, bonnie and I have not been in contact since my husband died. But I wouldn’t miss her wedding for the world.

Justin: Where is bonnie anyway? I thought we were supposed to have breakfast together.

Calista: She just left. Said she had an important errand to run.

Bonnie: Hi! Morning, sunshine.

Xander: What are doing here?

Bonnie: Oh–ha ha. I came to invite you to our wedding.

Xander: What?

Bonnie: Yeah, justin and i are getting married, and, uh, we would love the honor, um, no, the pleas– whatever–ha ha ha! We both want you there.

Xander: You’re getting married today, and you came here yourself to invite me?

Bonnie: Mm-hmm.

Xander: That’s a little weird even for you, bonnie.

Bonnie: Oh, come on. Just say yes.

Xander: Not until I figure out what’s really going on. Tell me, bonnie, what am I missing?

Gwen: The truth is xander’s not the terrible person that you think he is. You’re the one who told me to give him a chance.

Jack: That’s before he turned you into his drug mule.

Gwen: Yes. But you can’t just write him off, jack. Look at me. Look at all the horrible things that I did to you and your family. You forgave me, didn’t you?

Jack: You are my daughter. And you have proved that you’ve changed. Xander’s the same selfish, deceitful liar he’s always been.

Gwen: That is not true.

Jack: I am baffled. Honestly, I am–how can you– how can you be sorry for an amoral, unethical deviant?

Gwen: Because I told you I know what it’s like to do something terrible because you just feel like you have no choice.

Jack: If he’d really been in that much trouble, he could’ve come to me.

Gwen: I am sure that if he felt like being honest with you was an option, he would have done that.

Jack: And he didn’T. And now he’s compounded his deceit by– by flouting the law and manipulating the justice system, and I can’t stand for that!

Gwen: You’ve already skewered him in the papers, jack. I mean, what more could you possibly do?

Jack: That story is just the beginning. There’s a lot more to the story. I know a whole hell of a lot more. Between what I write and what my staff uncovers, we might be able to get the charges against xander reinstated, and he can go to prison where he belongs.

Gwen: No. No, please. Please, don’t do that.

Jack: Why not?

Gwen: Because I don’t want you to–to–to cross paths with the dimeras. They’re ruthless.

Jack: Chad dimera is my son-in-law.

Gwen: I’m talking about ej.

Jack: I’m not afraid of him! The bottom line is xander is guilty as sin, and he needs to pay.

Gwen: No, you’re wrong, jack. He is not guilty. I am the one who’s guilty. Is now a good time for a flare-up?

Ben: Being together like this…it is even more amazing now because you’re my wife again.

Ciara: I was just thinking the exact same thing.

Ben: Yeah?

Ciara: Mm.

Ben: Well, then maybe we should just stay like this forever.

Ciara: Yeah, as tempting as that may be, I, um…I’m really excited to show you new orleans.

Ben: Yeah?

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: When was the last time you were there?

Ciara: When I was a kid. But even then I realized how amazing of a place it was. I mean the music, the architecture, the food. Oh my god, the food!

Ben: Oh my god. Now, I want to get there. I want to get there now too. Should we start packing?

Ciara: You know, actually talking about the food made me kinda hungry. Do you mind if we make breakfast first?

Nicole: That is the second time you have threatened to fire me since you’ve been back.

Ej: Is it?

Nicole: Yeah. After I gave you unsolicited advice about johnny, you threatened to shut down this division.

Ej: My apologies. I was a little…riled up. But I’m calmer now.

Nicole: But you’re still going to fire me over this.

Ej: No, I don’t want to, nicole. You happen to be very good at what you do.

Nicole: Well, how can I be good at what I do if I work with someone who I hate?

Ej: Hatred can be a very powerful motivator. Just use it to make xander’s life a living hell. Brady and chloe will side with you. I bet you could drive him to quit by year’s end.

Nicole: Wanna bet me a million bucks?

Ej: [Laughs] Just shut up and sign the contract.

[Ej chuckles]

Kayla: Ugh. My head is still pounding.

Steve: Are you sure you’re going to be okay for the wedding? Maybe you should call in sick.

Kayla: I couldn’t do that to bonnie. Besides she’s coming over here in a little bit to get ready.

Steve: Oh, okay. Well, I better get over to the house and see if justin has any last-minute requests for his best dude.

Kayla: Okay. I’ll see you in a bit.

Steve: Yeah. Me and the famous calista.

Justin: Hey, maybe you ought to slow down a little.

Calista: Hmm. Yeah, you’re probably right. I guess I’m just trying to chase away blues.

Justin: Um…are you upset about something?

Calista: I don’t want to be a downer on your wedding day, but it is so hard to be happy for other people who are just starting their lives together when–

Justin: No, I understand. I don’t know if bonnie told you, but, uh, I lost my wife.

Calista: Oh, I’m so sorry.

Justin: Thanks. So tell me about your husband, harrison, was it?

Calista: Harrison lord. He was taken from me far too soon. Murdered for his money. The person who killed him stole every penny he had, leaving me not just a widow, but a pauper too. And the worst part is they got away with it.

Justin: I remember you mentioned that.

Calista: You’re a lawyer. Don’t you think that a criminal like that should be brought to justice?

Bonnie: I was just on my way over to kayla’s and thought I’d pop by here first.

Xander: Did you run this by justin?

Bonnie: Oh, I know he’d want you to be there. You’re his cousin. So why don’t you just hop in the shower, put on your monkey suit and be at the house by 2:00 P.M.

Xander: Bonnie–

Bonnie: Nope. Not taking no for an answer.

Xander: Honestly, I’d feel quite awkward.

Bonnie: Oh, baloney. You–you’ll be the life of the party. And I always say the more, the merrier. Right?

Xander: Fine. I’ll be there.

Bonnie: Yay! Yippee. Okay, I’ll see you–oh, I see you soon.

Gwen: I’m the one who’s guilty.

Jack: We’ve been through this before, gwen–

Gwen: No, please, jack. Please. Let me just finish. Please.

[Exhales] Xander lied. He lied when that he said he was the one delivering drugs for snyder and that brought me into the operation. He just did that to cover for me.

Jack: But he told me that snyder was his business partner.

Gwen: Yes. It’s not true. It’s not true. Those two never worked together. It was snyder and me. I was the one delivering drugs for him, and I wanted to stop, but he wouldn’t let me. And so one day I was just completely fed up.

Jack: Meaning what?

Gwen: Meaning…

[Sighs] Meaning one day, he just turned up here with a package and I said to him that he needs to go find somebody else to do his dirty work. And then we just–we’re having this big, horrible row, and then xander walks in. And xander starts defending me. He stood up for me. He’s the one who was trying to get me out of this horrible mess that I’d gotten myself into.

[Exhales] And then…snyder just dropped dead…right in front of us.

[Sighs] And then that’s when things got really complicated. So I am not an innocent victim in this. I’m the one who got xander into this whole mess. I’m so sorry. You must think I’m a terrible person.

Jack: No, gwen. I’m confused. Why would you agree to run drugs for snyder in the first place? Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Jack: Okay. I get what’s going on here. You’re upset about my editorial, and you’re trying to get me to write a retraction.

Gwen: Would you?

Jack: Absolutely not! I don’t get this 180 that you’ve done on xander. And for the longest time, the two of you couldn’t stand each other. Oh, wait.

Gwen: Wait what–what?

Jack: Julie. Julie walked in on you and xander together on the couch. You told me it was a momentary lapse of judgment. Maybe it wasn’t so momentary.

Gwen: Yes, it was. It was. But I’m not talking about that right now. It’s beside the point. But yes, yes, judy is right. Xander did lie to you. He didn’t want you to know that I was running drugs because he didn’t want you to think less of me. He was trying to protect my relationship with you. He lied so that I wouldn’t have to tell the truth.

Jack: What is the truth… gwen? Why–why would you agree to run drugs for snyder?

Gwen: He forced me to.

Jack: How? How could he do that?

Gwen: He was blackmailing me.

Jack: With what? What was he holding over you?

Calista: We are talkin’ grand larceny and murder. Well, don’t you think the rich who commits those heinous crimes should pay?

Justin: I think anyone who’s proven guilty in a court of law should pay.

Calista: Well, they didn’T. And it makes my blood boil.

Justin: Mm-hmm. I can see that. But in time, the anger, the pain will be less acute, and you’ll find yourself less immersed in, uh, stewing about the past and more hopeful about the future.

Calista: Well, I’ll drink to that.

[Both chuckle]

Justin: Ah, that’s bonnie’s makeup bag.

Calista: Mm. She gonna need that! Ha ha.

Justin: Maybe you’d like to bring it to her. You can meet kayla, her matron of honor.

Calista: [Laughs] Well, you know, I am still a little tired from my trip. And I’ve had a couple of drinks. I don’t think I should drive.

Justin: Oh, actually, that’s a–that’s a good idea. All right. Well, I’ll just take care of it myself.

[Calista giggles]

[Beep beep]

Bonnie: Oh, thank the lord.

[Suspenseful music]

Oh–whoa.

[Knock on door]

Ej: Xander, open up. Xander.

Ben: The eggs could use some hot sauce.

Ciara: I got it.

Ben: Thank you.

Ciara: Um…I have been so preoccupied with everything, I completely forgot.

Ben: What?

Ciara: I am out of birth control pills.

Ben: Well, I’m sure there’s a pharmacy in between here and new orleans. We’ll just have your doctor call in a prescription.

Ciara: Or…not.

Ben: [Coughs] I order my groceries online now.

Ben: I’m not sure what that means. Ha.

Ciara: What if I didn’t refill my prescription?

Ben: Are you saying you want to use a different kind of birth control?

Ciara: No. What I’m saying is…maybe we shouldn’t worry about that. What I’m saying is… what if we have a baby?

Steve: Yo, justin.

Calista: Justin’s not here. Mm! Well, hi, looks like it’s just you and me, big boy.

Justin: Hey.

Kayla: Justin, everything okay?

Justin: Never better. I just came by to give bonnie her makeup bag.

Kayla: She’s not here.

[Knocking continues]

Ej: Xander, are you in there?

Xander: Hold your horses man, I’m coming.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

John: There you go.

Marlena: Thank you, darling.

John: Been a hectic couple days, huh? You marrying ben and ciara, our little claire bear heading off to south africa for new adventures. I tell you, doc, I am so looking forward to this labor day weekend so we can just relax.

Marlena: I am too. You know what I did? I cleared my entire schedule through tuesday.

John: Well, I hope you penciled me in for a little something.

Marlena: Mm.

John: [Chuckles]

Marlena: I penciled you in for all of it.

John: Mm, I like the way you think.

[Phone rings]

[Sighs]

[Phone rings] Shane donovan. Wonder what he wants.

[Phone beeps] Hey, shane. What’s up?

Jake: Good morning.

Gabi: Morning, yourself. Oh, no, no. No you don’t, mister. Up and at ’em. Come on. It’s your first day at work.

Jake: But did I adequately thank you for showing me the ropes yesterday? I mean, that had to be the best welcoming to a new job that I’ve ever had.

Gabi: All right, but don’t expect sex on philip’s desk every day because we have things to do.

Jake: Right, like world domination.

Gabi: Exactly, so come on, get to it.

Jake: [Groans]

Gabi: [Chuckles]

Jake: [Sighs]

Gabi: Jake.

Jake: What?

Gabi: This is perfect. You made the front page. “Ousted dimera brother moves to titan.” Photo and everything.

Jake: Whoa, look at that guy. You know what? With the way my brothers tossed my ass out of the family business, I hope they’re reading this and choking on their scones.

Tony: Good morning.

Chad: You see this? About jake at titan?

Tony: Oh, that ex-mechanic, ex-hoodlum is as successful at titan as he was at dimera. We have nothing to worry about.

Chad: Believe me, I’m not worried. Want a scone?

Tony: Actually, I was supposed to meet anna in the solarium for breakfast but I haven’t been able to find her. Have you seen her?

Chad: Heard her burning rubber.

Tony: Excuse me?

Chad: Anna, she took off about 15 minutes ago like a bat out of hell.

Tony: Well, that’s strange. I wonder where she went.

[Mysterious music]

Anna: Oh, thank goodness you’re here, roman.

Roman: Well, good morning, but if you’re here for breakfast, we don’t open for another half hour.

Anna: No, I don’t need breakfast; I couldn’t possibly eat a bite– not when life as we know it could change forever.

Roman: “Life as we know it”?

Anna: We have an emergency on our hands, roman, and we have got to do something about it right now.

Lani: Good morning, sunshine.

Eli: You know what time it is?

Lani: I do.

Eli: Did you set my alarm last night?

Lani: I did.

Eli: Woman, you know I had a late shift last night. I don’t have to be up for a few more hours.

Lani: Wrong, ’cause you have to be up now because we have someplace to be. Auntie p’s? Breakfast? You forgot, didn’t you?

Eli: [Groans] Oh, yes.

Lani: [Laughs]

Paulina: I know what mama wants, tammy, especially since she had no problem drumming it into my head over and over again while she was here.

[Sighs] Everything’s gonna be fine, big sister. I’m back in everybody’s good graces now. And I promise you, abe will not find out that lani’s my daughter or that he’s not really the father. Because if he does, I surely will lose him and I am not going to let that happen. Well, yeah. Yeah, love you too. Talk soon.

Abe: What was that all about?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Lani: Maybe this will help.

Eli: Sleep would help. Not breakfast at the crack of dawn. You know, I vote we cancel.

Lani: And hurt auntie p’s feelings? She is so excited about this. To whip up an extra-special breakfast so we can all start the day together.

Eli: Mm.

Lani: It’s her way of making up after everything that happened.

Eli: Didn’t we already forgive her and move on?

Lani: You know my auntie. She likes to go big. She has to prove herself, prove how sorry she is, how much she loves us. And this is how she does it.

Eli: By going big.

Lani: The bigger, the better.

Eli: Oh, god. You sure there’s no way we can get out of this?

Lani: Not a chance. She and dad are counting on us.

Paulina: What was what all about?

Abe: Well, I’m sorry, but I heard you say something like, “I would surely lose him and I can’t let that happen.”

Paulina: Oh, well, I was, uh, telling my sister that I had to cancel twice with my new hairdresser here in salem. And if I have to cancel again, he’ll probably drop me as a client. Oh, speaking of canceling, I hired this trendy new chef in chicago to cook for us all this morning, but the man, he texted me about an hour ago. He sprained his ankle. He can’t make it.

Abe: Mm, that’s too bad.

Paulina: Oh, abe, I wanted our little gathering here this morning to be perfect but it looks like we’re either gonna have to postpone it or just order from some nearby diner.

Abe: No, we don’t have to do either one ’cause I happen to know that you have a seriously stocked pantry. So I think, between the two of us, we could put a fabulous brunch on the table.

Paulina: You always know how to cheer me up, abe carver.

Abe: You know, it’s seeing that smiling face of yours that cheers me up. And…this.

[Both smooch]

Paulina: Mm-hmm.

Gabi: [Scoffs] It’s all happening, jake. I mean, first we steal titan out from under philip and then we use titan to crush dimera.

Jake: Yeah, I can get behind that.

Gabi: Too bad we didn’t find anything in philip’s office yesterday.

Jake: A sammy sosa baseball card is not nothing.

Gabi: Yeah, but we can’t use that to bring him down. It’s fine, it’s only day one, and I’ve got plenty of ideas on ways I can sabotage him.

Jake: You really are relentless, aren’t you?

Gabi: When I want something, damn right I am. And I want this with a vengeance.

Jake: Hey, you and me both. All right? The way tony and ej and chad all gloated when they voted me out as ceo…

[Chuckles] I can’t wait to rip their little empire out from under them.

Gabi: They’re so arrogant. They’re so full of themselves and their–their dimera power. You know, they’re not gonna see us coming.

Tony: Hello, my darling. I was looking forward to our breakfast. Oh, you know what? Why don’t you call me when you get this message. I love you. I suppose…a little mystery is always good for a marriage.

Chad: At least your wife is in the same city.

Tony: You’ve not heard from abigail?

Chad: It’s not like I can call her. I promised her I would give her time and space to figure things out.

Tony: Oh, she’ll come back to you.

Chad: Not that I deserve it, but I sure hope she does.

[Sighs] So much for the traditional labor day picnic with thomas and charlotte. Jack asked if he wanted to– if he could take the kids for the weekend out to the lake. Eh, who am I to say no?

Tony: So you’ll be here alone, then?

Chad: Yeah, but I got plenty of work to keep me busy.

Tony: [Chuckles] Yeah, why do I get the feeling the only thing that’s gonna be on your mind is abigail?

Chad: And how I screwed up. The good news is, jack said he was gonna talk to her this weekend and he said he would talk to her about me. Find out if she’S… planning on ever coming home.

Roman: Okay, uh, but can I at least have a cup of coffee before we take on the world?

Anna: No, no. There’s no time to waste. Our daughter needs us.

Roman: Wait a minute, what– what’s wrong with carrie? Was there an accident? Is she okay?

Anna: No, nothing like that. She’s fine. Physically, at least. But emotionally, she’s a total wreck. It’s her marriage, roman. It’s flatlining. Code blue!

Roman: Come on. I just saw carrie and austin in february. Everything was fine.

Anna: Well, whatever was fine in february is kaput now.

Roman: Okay, what happened?

Anna: She called. She was totally broken up. She could hardly speak. The only thing I could get out of her was that she and austin had a terrible fight. We have to help our baby, roman. We need to get to zurich right now.

John: All right, I’m on it. Yeah, I’ll get back to you.

Marlena: What’s going on?

John: Shane wants black patch for a top secret case. Couldn’t go into details over the phone, but he wants steve and me in zurich as soon as possible.

Marlena: Well… there goes our weekend.

John: [Sighs]

Lani: Did they wake up?

Eli: No, still asleep.

Lani: Oh, good.

Eli: Oh, look at you! So fine.

Lani: Mm. [Chuckles] Maybe you can save that thought for tonight?

Eli: I got a better idea. I still got lots of time before I need to be at work. So… I can think of a bunch of stuff that we can do that’s way better than going to aunt paulina’s breakfast.

Lani: Mm, okay, well, I would love to do those things with you but, um–

Eli: Yes, I know. You don’t want to upset paulina and you don’t want to let your dad down.

Lani: Now that he and aunt paulina are back on track, I want to show them that we support them 100%.

Eli: Because you’re the best daughter in the world and the best niece in the world.

Lani: And, uh, I’m kinda hungry.

[Both chuckle]

Eli: All right, well, that settles it. Let’s go to breakfast.

Lani: Let’s do it.

Abe: My goodness. You know, something smells amazing.

Paulina: [Chuckles] That’s my famous baked-egg casserole. Yeah, I need to sauté a little sausage, peppers, and onions.

Abe: Ooh, well, tell me what to do. I’ll be your sous-chef.

Paulina: You don’t look to me like anybody’s “sous” anything. You’re a man who’s used to being boss.

Abe: Well, yeah, but, you know, I’m willing to take directions for a worthy cause, and… I can’t think of anything worthier than a family breakfast with my nearest and dearest.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Well, in that case, you’re gonna need this.

[Chuckling]

Abe: Oh. [Laughs]

[Both laughing] Ah. [Smooches]

[Both laughing]

John: No, no, no, no, no, I understand. Just have fun at the wedding. Yeah, of course I’ll keep you in the loop, partner. Right. Love to kayla.

Marlena: Hmm. Sounds like you’ve lost your partner.

John: Steve is justin’s best man. I didn’t even realize today was the big day.

Marlena: And kayla is bonnie’s matron of honor.

John: How crazy is that? All the hell bonnie gave adrienne, steve couldn’t stand the sight of her. Now the two of ’em are standing up for the happy couple.

Marlena: Yeah. I guess they saw how happy they were and decided that’s what was important.

John: Well, just the power of love, huh? Hmm, that’s nothing you and i know anything about, is it?

[Both chuckle] I love you.

Gabi: All right, I better get dressed if we wanna beat philip to the office.

Jake: What if philip got to the office before us, huh?

Gabi: It’s your first day. You can’t be late.

Jake: Let’s call it a breakfast meeting, hmm?

Gabi: Mm, I think that you don’t have breakfast or work in mind.

Jake: Oh, what do you expect? Do you realize how hot you are when you start talking corporate takeovers, huh?

Gabi: Oh, come on.

Jake: Come on. Destroying empires… bringing down the enemy…

Gabi: Well, we can’t get to any of that if we’re rolling around in bed.

Jake: Think of it as a team-building exercise.

[Intriguing music]

Tony: I know how difficult this must be for you. But I also know how much you love abigail and how much abigail loves you. And I have every bit of confidence that she’s gonna be back home soon, into your arms. You just have to be patient.

Chad: I am not a patient man.

Tony: You don’t have a choice in this matter.

Chad: True. It’s just that… every time I wake up and abby isn’t next to me, I wonder how I’m gonna get through the day and the next day and the day after that.

Tony: Well, I may not be as pretty, but I have been told I’m good company. So why don’t you join me for breakfast? We can have eggs benedict, smoked salmon, bellinis…

Chad: I appreciate the invite but I have, uh… I have an early meeting. Thank you for listening.

Tony: Oh, any time, brother. Oh… it will work out with you and abigail. Trust my words.

[Sighs] Anna, where are you?

Roman: [Sighs] Look, I… I am sorry that carrie’s upset, but…why, exactly, do we need to go to zurich?

Anna: Because! We are her parents. She needs us.

Roman: Did she say that?

Anna: Well, no, but I am her mother. I can read between the lines.

Roman: You know what? Look, anna, we’re not going to zurich, okay? Carrie and austin are adults. They’re level-headed. They will work this out.

Anna: And what if they don’t? I couldn’t live with myself if our baby girl’s marriage implodes because we couldn’t be bothered to get on a plane when she needs us the most.

Roman: Except she didn’t ask us to come, anna!

Anna: We’re going to have a family meeting. You can talk to austin. I will talk with carrie. We will make sure that austin knows that he is married to the most wonderful girl in the whole wide world and he better sure as hell take care of her and– why am I even blathering on like this when we should be getting on a plane? So you go pack and we can strategize on the plane.

Roman: It’s not gonna happen.

Anna: Okay, well, then– then you can buy clothes when we get there.

Roman: Yeah, that’s not what I mean. I’m not going to zurich, and neither should you.

[Tense music]

As someone who resembles someone else…

Paulina: And now the magic begins.

Abe: Well, I am looking at the magic right now.

Paulina: Oh. [Chuckles] I couldn’t have done it without you. You can be my sous-chef any day of the week.

Abe: Oh, I like the sound of that.

[Both chuckle]

[Doorbell rings]

Paulina: Oh, right on time. Good morning!

Eli: Morning.

Paulina: Good morning. Oh.

Lani: Good morning.

Paulina: Good morning. And good morning, my sweet little sleepy angels.

Eli: Yeah, at least someone gets to sleep.

[All chuckle]

Lani: Hi, dad.

Abe: Hey, sweetheart. Hey. Yeah, eli.

Eli: Good morning.

Abe: Hey there, sweetie.

Lani: Mmm! Auntie, is that your–

Paulina: Famous breakfast casserole? You bet it is. I wanted to make something that was worth getting out of bed for.

Abe: Oh, and this is for you. It’s just oj, ’cause I know you have to go to work later. And for you, my dear, and you. And I would like to propose a toast to second chances and new beginnings.

Lani: Cheers.

[All chuckle]

[Warm music]

Jake: Oh, and my day was going so well.

Chad: Hey! I hear congratulations are in order. I heard about your little job over at titan.

Gabi: “Little job”?

Chad: Relatively speaking. I don’t know if you know this, but I was actually ceo over there.

Gabi: For what? About two seconds?

Chad: Sure, it was brief, but it was not like I got my ass handed to me because I couldn’t do the job.

Jake: You son of a bitch.

Gabi: Don’t give him the satisfaction, jake. It’s okay. Go ahead, make fun. But it’s a mistake to underestimate jake. He’s gonna be running titan before you know it.

[Tense music]

John: Well, I guess I better call good old shane back and tell him I’m flying solo on this one.

Marlena: Not necessarily.

John: What, you know something I don’t know? Steve said he can’t make it.

Marlena: I can.

John: Excuse me?

Marlena: Why don’t you take me to zurich?

[Warm music]

Anna: You don’t want to go to zurich? Don’t you care about our daughter’s marriage?

Roman: Of course I care, but as I’ve been saying, but it doesn’t seem to register, it’s none of our business.

Anna: She’s our daughter!

Roman: And she’s an adult, and it’s her marriage. And I doubt if she’d appreciate her parents flying halfway around the world to interfere in her life in this way– in any way!

Anna: Well, I think she would. Besides, she needs us. She needs you, roman. Your wisdom, your advice–

Roman: Anna, the only person who needs my advice is you, and here it is, okay? Do not go to zurich. Stay home. Let carrie and austin work out their problems on their own.

Anna: That is not the answer.

Roman: Yes, it is, and it’s the only one I’ve got.

Anna: Well, fine. If you won’t help me, then I guess I just have to do it myself. Oh!

Certain hpv-related cancers?

Jake: You know, gabi, we’re done here. Let’s go to the office.

Chad: Have fun punching the clock for philip.

Gabi: You’re a condescending jerk, you know that?

Chad: Yeah, I’m also the ceo of dimera.

Gabi: Co-ceo. And how is abigail? Is she still in boston with her mom?

Chad: How’s arianna? Still in phoenix with her two dads?

Gabi: For now, yes, but I intend on having her come live with me.

Chad: Oh, I’m sure that’s gonna go over real well with sonny and will.

Gabi: W-what are you suggesting? That they’re gonna have a problem with that? Because they won’T.

Chad: Sure about that?

Gabi: What the hell do you know? I spoke to sonny yesterday. He says he hasn’t spoken to you in weeks, so some best friend you are.

John: Doc, I know it might sound romantic to spend the last few days of summer in zurich, but… I don’t have to remind you this is a work trip, here. I’m sure I’m gonna spend the whole time on the case. It’s not gonna be much fun for you.

Marlena: Well, I could keep you company on the flight. And I could visit with austin and carrie. You know, I haven’t seen carrie for such a long time and… I’m sure we have lots to catch up on.

John: And I’m sure she would love that, yeah.

Marlena: And without your partner, well, who knows? You might need a little help on the case.

John: You mean from…?

Marlena: Yours truly.

[Intriguing music]

Lani: Oh, auntie p, it was so nice of you to have us over.

Paulina: Honey, we are going to do this more often. I mean, what better way to start the day?

Eli: What is that smell?

Paulina: Hmm?

Eli: That smell?

Paulina: Oh, my glory! Oh!

Lani: Uh, is everything okay in there?

Paulina: No, it’s not okay at all! I set the temp too high and my casserole is ruined!

Lani: Auntie, it doesn’t matter.

Paulina: Yes, it does matter. Of course it does.

[Voice breaking] Oh, I wanted– I wanted to celebrate the three of you. Your love, your kindness, your willingness to forgive me. I am not doing that with oatmeal.

Eli: Well, I do love oatmeal.

Paulina: Well, I’ll just start all over. I have all the ingredients. Just keep the mimosas and the orange juice, just keep it flowing.

Abe: No, no, no, you don’t have to go to that much trouble.

Paulina: No, it’s no trouble at all.

Eli: Well, you know, look, I’d love to stay and stick around, but I gotta get going. I gotta get back to the station.

Lani: You can’t just tell them you’re gonna be a little late?

Eli: No, why don’t– why don’t we reschedule? I’ve got the whole labor day weekend off. You know, just pick a day, pick a time, I’ll be there.

Abe: Sounds good to me.

Paulina: Oh, ah, labor day weekend, that’s it!

Abe: What? What’s “it”?

Paulina: Well, instead of a different time, how about a different place? Forget about breakfast in salem. Let’s do lunch in miami!

Lani: [Laughing] What? Honestly, I thought I was getting my floors cleaned.

Abe: You want to have lunch in miami?

Paulina: Sure. Why not? I’ll charter a jet. It’ll whisk us all off by the time we finish packing.

> Lani: I told you, she likes to go big.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, and I don’t take no for an answer. So what do you say? Hey, palm beach, south beach? Little fun in the sun? And you can get to see my place on star island. Have I told you how fabulous it is? All: Yes.

Lani: [Chuckles]

Paulina: Well, how about it? Can you tear yourself away from salem for a few days, mr. Mayor?

Abe: I probably can manage it.

Paulina: Well?

Eli: Well, yeah, yeah. Yes, it sounds awesome, but I still gotta get to work.

Paulina: Well, I’m sure you can take a personal day.

Lani: Wait, what– what about the kids?

Paulina: What about them? Bring them along. The more the merrier.

[Warm music]

Chad: You’re right. My bad. It’s been a while since I’ve been in touch with sonny.

Gabi: ‘Cause you’re too busy feeling sorry for yourself because abigail went bye-bye.

Chad: Well, I am lonely for her, but she’ll be back.

Gabi: You sure about that? Because you not only cheated on her, but it was with her sister. So I don’t think the odds sound very great for you.

Chad: Go to hell.

Gabi: Wait, chad. Actually, um, since you haven’t spoken to him, you should know that sonny is making his company public.

Chad: That’s great news. I’m very happy for him.

Gabi: Well, you should let him know that.

Chad: You should mind your own business.

Gabi: I’m pretty sure this is my business because sonny and will are currently caring for my daughter. And sonny’s crazy busy and so is will because of the newspaper, so there’s a possibility that arianna might have to come live with us since we are in a position to give her A… loving and stable home.

Chad: [Laughs] Yeah. Stability, yeah, right. That’s exactly what people think of when they think of you.

Gabi: Snipe at me all you want, but if you really care so damn much about your bff sonny, you should give him a call and congratulate him.

[Tense music]

Tony: Oh, there you are, darling. Where have you been? I thought we were having breakfast together.

Anna: Breakfast? Why is everyone so obsessed with breakfast? Especially at a time like this?

Tony: It’s not even noon.

Anna: Well, it’s almost the end of the day in zurich and the end of carrie and austin’s marriage.

Tony: I’m sorry, I’m– I’m not quite following.

Anna: I talked with carrie. There was a big blow-up with austin and she was in tears. She was devastated. Whatever’s happened, obviously, it’s his fault.

Tony: [Chuckles] Obviously.

Anna: And she needs the support of her parents.

Tony: Yeah, so why don’t you speak to roman?

Anna: I just did. I told him he needs to get on the next flight with me to zurich. And you know what he said?

Tony: No.

Anna: He said no.

Tony: Well, that’s what I just said.

Anna: Well, how do you know?

Tony: Oh, instinct. But I think it was exactly the right answer. I don’t think either of you should be going to zurich to fix a problem that is not your responsibility to fix. I think you should let austin and carrie work it out themselves. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Anna: Why are you taking roman’s side in this, tony?

Tony: I’m not taking sides, anna. Look, I know how much you love your daughter and how much you want to help save their marriage, but what happens when you land and the problem between them was just a lover’s spat and you then discover them in each other’s arms? Or, heaven forbid, the problem continues and your presence only makes things worse? You’d never forgive yourself.

Anna: No. I would never forgive myself if I didn’t go.

Tony: Anna, darling…

Anna: No, don’T. Don’t “anna, darling” me. My daughter is in trouble and I have to pack. And you can enjoy your breakfast, your lunch, and dinner with–without me. So I have no idea when I’m coming back.

Tony: Anna, wait.

[Soft music]

I’m going too.

Anna: [Voice breaking] What?

Tony: To zurich. I’ll book our flight.

John: So you want to go play spy with me in zurich?

Marlena: Well, you’ve said that I’ve been very helpful to you. I’ve helped you solve cases in the past. And you said I’m a very good detective, and you’ve also said that we’re a terrific team.

John: And that’s a fact.

Marlena: A–and in 2017, I went to europe by myself and tracked down stefano.

John: And you’re beautiful and you’re brilliant and you’re brave. And there’s no one else I would rather have on my side.

Marlena: Mm.

John: So… looks like you and i are going to zurich, doesn’t it?

Marlena: We are?

[Both laughing] Whoo-hoo! Oh, boy! [Laughs]

[Uplifting music]

Lani: It really does sound amazing. It does, auntie, but… I don’t know, the twins have never traveled before. I don’t know how they’ll do on a plane and then sleeping in a strange place. We should probably pass.

Paulina: Well, though I love the babies being along on the ride with us, well, hasn’t julie been begging for some quality time with jules and carver? Now is her chance.

Eli: Julie and doug would love this.

Lani: Yeah, they– they definitely would.

Paulina: And isn’t your maternity leave up and you have to go back to work on tuesday?

Lani: Yes.

Paulina: And the two of you, have you had any “you” time since those precious little dolls have been born?

Eli: No.

[All laugh]

Paulina: Well… [Chuckles] Doug and julie, they get their chance with those little babies and you get your chance for a romantic weekend, and– well, for all of us. Sunsets, late night swims…

[Both laugh]

Eli: You are very hard to say no to, aunt paulina.

Lani: Ah.

Paulina: That’s the idea.

Lani: Okay. Let’s do it.

Paulina: Oh, hallelujah! Miami, here we come!

[All laugh] Whoo! Charlie’s my little sidekick when it

Lani: [Sighs]

Eli: You know, I’m not sure my grandmother is gonna want to give jules and carver back to us when we get home.

Lani: You do know that they are going to be spoiled rotten, right?

Eli: That’s what grandparents are for.

Lani: [Sighs] Mm, I miss them already.

Eli: Yeah. It’s kinda quiet in here.

Lani: I know.

Eli: But you know what? We are going to miami! I am gonna dance you until dawn and kiss you under the moonlight. And you know what?

Lani: Hmm?

Eli: You get to have my undivided attention the entire time we’re there.

Lani: You do know we’re going with my auntie paulina, right?

Eli: Mm-hmm.

Lani: She requires a lot of attention and I have some plans for you, myself.

Eli: Like what?

Lani: It’s the first time you have ever been to my hometown. And I cannot wait to show you all the places I loved when I was a kid. Like, there’s this beach where you can go and find the most amazing shells and sea glass. And… I have this bikini that I have been waiting to wear all summer.

Eli: Really?

Lani: Mm-hmm.

Eli: Well, I can’t wait to see you in it and out.

Lani: Wow.

Paulina: I understand, sweetie. Next time, for sure. I love you too.

Abe: Chanel can’t join us?

Paulina: She’s too busy gearing up for the opening of the bakery next week. You probably should finish packing. Jet is wheels up in one hour.

Abe: Ooh, I don’t want to miss the jet.

Paulina: You’re not excited about this weekend?

Abe: I didn’t say that. But you were thinking it.

Abe: What I was thinking is that this is very extravagant and very impulsive.

Paulina: Well, I’m a very extravagant and very impulsive kind of girl.

Abe: [Chuckles] That you are.

Paulina: And I’m happy. I’m happier than I’ve ever been. You and lani, you’ve forgiven me and all I see is love and joy ahead for us.

Abe: Well, in that case, I guess it’s worth a celebration.

Paulina: Mm-hmm, and we’re gonna do it in style.

Abe: [Chuckles] Star island.Gonna show you where I grew up, with– with big mama and tammy. Show you why I love miami.

[Chuckles] And best part is I get to fall in love with it all over again because I get to see it through your eyes, and I can’t think of anything that would make me happier.

Abe: Well, if you’re gonna put it that way, I wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world.

Paulina: Oh, honey.

[Smooching]

Jake: You were A… a little hard on chad, don’t you think?

Gabi: Well, he deserved it. I mean, what a pompous ass. He thinks he’s better than us and smarter than us because he and ej got dimera handed to them on a silver platter?

Jake: Right, just like philip failed his way to the top at titan ’cause he’s daddy’s darling.

Gabi: Exactly. That’s why we’re gonna win. Because we know what it means to work our tails off, to never lose sight of the prize. So no. No one–not philip kiriakis or ej or chad dimera– is gonna stop us.

[Intriguing music]

Chad: Hey.

Roman: Hey.

Chad: Morning.

Roman: Good morning. Haven’t seen you in a while. How’s it going?

Chad: Ah, I’m hanging in there. I was–I was hoping that you could help me with something, actually.

Roman: If I can, sure.

Chad: Well, I wanted to take a weekend trip to phoenix and… I don’t want to impose, but have you talked to will lately?

Roman: Yeah, matter of fact, I talked to him the other day and he said that he and sonny were missing family and friends. So I think a visit from you would be just what they need.

Chad: All right, then. Then it’s a plan.

Roman: Okay, I’ll need photos, especially of arianna.

Chad: Uh, you got ’em.

Roman: Good to see you.

Chad: Hey, good to see you.

[Mellow music]

[Line trilling] Hey, sonny! Yeah, no, I know, it’s– it’s been a while. No, I’m sorry about that. Um, hey, I heard about the great news about the ipo. Yeah, and I was–I was thinking maybe I could come out and congratulate you in person. Ah, just for the weekend, if you’re not too busy. Oh, you don’t mind? Ah, yeah. No, I’m gonna have ’em fire up the dimera jet right away then. Yeah, I’ll be there in no time.

Anna: Tony, you’d really go with me?

Tony: Of course. You’re my wife, anna. What’s important to you is important to me. Besides, someone has to take care of you, ’cause the last time you were in europe without me…

Anna: Oh, please, let’s not go there.

Tony: Oh, fine, fine, but just to be on the safe side, I’m just gonna make sure you don’t get yourself into any kind of trouble.

Anna: Oh, darling, no one’s ever taken such good care of me.

Tony: [Chuckles] Oh, now I’m back in the good graces.

[Both chuckle]

Anna: What are you talking about?

Tony: Well, I know you were a little upset with me because I didn’t invest in johnny’s movie. But let’s look at it this way: We have money; we have great success; uh, we have… well, freedom to travel whenever and wherever we please.

Anna: And for a very important reason.

[Both chuckle] And I have a feeling– a very strong feeling– we’re going to be very glad we did.

John: All right, doc. Next stop is zurich.

Marlena: Yes, together. As it should be.

John: As it should be.

Finn: Steffy forrester, will you be my wife?

Steffy: Yes!

Finn: I give you this ring as a sign of my love and commitment to you.

Finn: Steffy, can we talk?

Steffy: Yeah, hi. Sure.

Finn: Sorry, I didn’t mean to startle you. I let myself in.

Steffy: No, it’S… it’s okay. I was just thinking.

Finn: Yeah, I’ve been thinking a lot too. I want you to know how truly sorry I am. I should never allowed sheila anywhere near our son.

[ Dramatic music ]

[ Tapping of phone ]

Sheila: At least it was until steffy ruined it.

Ridge: I was hoping you’d be here.

Eric: You were? Why? Is this gonna turn into some kind of an intervention? Is that what this is?

Brooke: Eric, we can’t help being concerned.

Eric: Stop. Stop looking out for me. Don’t question my choices. Or my marriage. There’s more to quinn and me than you can see. There’s more going on with us than you can possibly understand.

Quinn: Thanks for meeting me here. I really didn’t want to get into this at the office.

Shauna: I completely understand. This will give us a chance to talk more privately. It’s really true? Eric?

Quinn: Unfortunately.

Shauna: Well, these things happen from time to time. If a man is under a lot of stress, or has performance anxiety. Do you remember that valet guy I was dating?

Quinn: Which one? Look, I wish it were that simple, I really do. I mean, anxiety, I would know how to handle that. But this? What am I supposed to do, shauna? My husband may never be able to make love to me again.

Shauna: It must’ve been quite a shock when eric told you.

Quinn: Yeah. I mean, he’s always been so virile, you know? It explains a lot, though.

Shauna: Explains?

Quinn: Why he was pulling away from me. Why he was being so distant. It wasn’t just because he was disappointed in me. He was covering up for this problem.

Shauna: If he would’ve told you back then…

Quinn: I know, and look, I’m not trying to make excuses, but one of the reasons that I ended up in carter’s arms is because he was being so cold to me.

Shauna: You’re thinking about that, aren’t you?

Quinn: Thinking about what?

Shauna: About what you gave up to be back with eric. Quinn, you confided in me what it was like to be with carter. How unbelievable it all was. And now, finding out that connection with eric may never be possible, I know what I would be thinking if I were you.

Steffy: You don’t have to keep apologizing.

Finn: But I will. Until I get through to you. Until you understand I know what I did was wrong. Not sheila showing up, but that I allowed it.

Steffy: It felt like a huge betrayal, finn.

Finn: Yeah, but I’m not gonna let it change what we have. You hear me, steffy? I’m not gonna let sheila or anyone come between us.

Steffy: You will never be part of my family. Do you hear that? Do you hear that? I never want to see your face again.

Sheila: Steffy’s the problem. She’s the one coming between me and my son. There are times, I wonder…

Eric: I know you mean well, but my marriage is not your business. It’s not open to discussion or critique. I’m gonna go home to my wife.

Shauna: Quinn, be honest. After everything you told me about your time with carter, it was to be crossing your mind.

Quinn: Yes, I am thinking about carter. I mean, honestly, I… I love him too. I do. Everything about him.

Shauna: And if your husband can’t give you what you need?

Quinn: Don’T. Please, shauna. Don’T.

Shauna: You’re completely justified in feeling the way you do. Especially with this new development. It’s okay to admit that you miss that part of your life! And that you miss being with carter.

Steffy: I didn’t want sheila to come between us either. And she wouldn’t be if you kept your promise and you told her to stay away.

Finn: I know, but my dad was convinced that all we needed to do was give her one visit, let her see hayes, hold him, and she’d be gone. Now, look, I’m not blaming my dad, but he was adamant. And he… I’ve always trusted his judgment.

Steffy: You should’ve trusted my judgment. I know what sheila’s capable of. He doesn’T. He has no idea.

Finn: Even though he was trying to help, yeah, he’s obviously made things much worse. No, you’re right. I’ve made things much worse. I’m the one who betrayed your trust. But I want to earn it back.

Steffy: Don’t think I don’t want that too.

[ Sighing ] It’s just difficult.

Finn: And it’s even more difficult when we’re apart. I was miserable last night. And it felt so wrong to sleep alone. I don’t want that to be how we deal with our problems. Look, this is a marriage, and when things get rough, we’ve got to fight even harder to stay united. Look, I cannot be away from you any longer.

Sheila: Grown. Cutie. He’s so beautiful. I’m your grandma, hayes. I have been dying to meet you. I have. It felt so good holding you in my arms. My grandson. A forrester.

[ Giggling ] What do you think of that, stephanie? You looking up from hell right now even more tormented? Knowing that your namesake gave birth to my grandson. My grandson! You tried and you tried to get rid of me. And now, I am a permanent fixture in the forrester family. And you know what? I’m going to embrace that. I’m not going anywhere. Finn is my son. He and hayes deserve to be a part of my life. And they would be… if it weren’t for steffy. Front loader odor.

Brooke: I just don’t get it.

Ridge: Oh, I don’t get it either.

Brooke: How many times– how many different ways can quinn show that she can’t be trusted?

Ridge: No matter what, he’s going to keep taking her back.

Brooke: And he’s not even happy about it. He keeps blaming himself for her cheating.

Ridge: It’s ridiculous! Quinn and carter had an affair, nothing to do with my dad.

Quinn: I do miss him.

Shauna: I know.

Quinn: I miss carter a lot.

Shauna: I know you do, I don’t blame you. Especially now that eric can’T…

Quinn: You know, I try to be encouraging, I told him maybe there are specialists he doesn’t know of, or therapies that he’s never even heard of yet.

Shauna: I’m assuming he’s already tried.

Quinn: I just– maybe I have to accept the fact that my husband may never be able to perform again. But shauna, I don’t care, because it’s what I signed up for. We made vows, “for better or for worse,” right? I mean, it– isn’t that what life is all about? Making sacrifices for the ones you love the most?

Shauna: And you’re prepared to give up that part of your life entirely?

Quinn: If that’s what I have to do for eric, I will. I love him that much.

Finn: My love for you is forever, steffy.

Steffy: That’s how I feel, too.

Finn: Good, we can get through this. And we will. Alright? I’m not gonna let my birth mother affect us. We’ve got to move forward. Sheila is gone. But I’m not. I’m here. I’m always gonna be here. For you.

Steffy: I’m here for you, too.

Finn: I just– I can’t believe I let you down.

Steffy: And I’ve let you down too. I said I didn’t want to go to the courthouse. But, I didn’t want you to misunderstand, I just wasn’T… I couldn’t sign the marriage certificate with everything else going on.

Finn: I don’t care about the courthouse. Or the marriage certificate. Or the fact that there’s no ac in the guest house.

Steffy: Oh, is that the real reason you’re coming back here?

Finn: I mean, could we at least put in a window unit?

[ Giggling ] There’s that beautiful smile. The way it lights up your eyes, and those gorgeous lips.

Steffy: Do you really think that sheila’s going to leave us alone?

Finn: I do. And even if she doesn’t, I’m gonna have nothing to do with her. My commitment’s to you. To our family, which doesn’t include sheila. We won’t let her come between us.

Steffy: We won’T.

Finn: Does that mean I can come back from exile?

Steffy: I guess you can come back in the air conditioned house.

[ Giggling ]

Finn: Good. We can celebrate.

Steffy: Well, we’re gonna have to celebrate a little bit later because I have to go into the office right now.

Finn: Oh no.

Steffy: I know, I know. But, I’ll make it up to you. Tonight. Thanks for being you.

Finn: Right back at ya.

Steffy: I love you.

[ Giggling ]

Sheila: Finn.

Finn: What are you doing here?

Sheila: Oh, please don’t be upset. I just had to see my son again. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

Shauna: I respect you for dedicating yourself to you marriage and the way you adore eric, I mean, how could you not. He’s the sweetest man, so kind. But you just ended a very sexually charged relationship with carter. So, how do you go from that, to what? Complete celibacy?

Quinn: I have to. I want to be true to eric. And I will. 100% committed. Look. I want to have a strong and healthy marriage. If that means that I have to give up passion, excitement, sensuality, then so be it. I would do anything for eric. Anything.

Steffy: Hello.

Brooke: Hello.

Steffy: Hi.

Ridge: Hi. I’m liking this mood you’re in. What’s going on?

Steffy: Let’s just say everything’s back on track.

Ridge: With you and finn.

Steffy: Yeah. He understands the severity of the situation.

Brooke: You mean sheila.

Steffy: Mm-hm. He gets it now. She’s not gonna be a problem for us. Not ever again.

Finn: You can’t come in here.

Sheila: It’s okay. I waited until steffy was gone. I didn’t want to, you know, upset her or cause anymore problems.

Finn: You are causing problems just by being here.

Sheila: She doesn’t need to know. I’m not gonna stay long. I couldn’t help myself. I can’t stop thinking about you, and hayes. My handsome son. This adorable child. I’d love to hold him one more time.

Finn: You know I can’t allow that. Not after how steffy reacted. You can’t see hayes, and you can’t come here anymore.

Sheila: But I’m your mother.

Finn: You’re my birth mother. And I can’t have you in my life. I’m not gonna betray steffy again. This… this can’t continue, sheila.

Sheila: No, “mom.” Please just call me mom.

Finn: I can’T. I can’T. And… I am not trying to hurt you, but you need to go. You said that you would leave and you would never come back.

Sheila: That was my intention. Then, steffy bursted in, and she ruined my moment with my grandson. And I just want to hold him one more time.

Finn: No! You need to honor your word and you need to stay away from us. My son and I will have no part of your life, sheila. Not ever. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey! Sheila, hey! Sheila! Sheila! Hey! Sheila. Sheila. Hi, hello? Yeah, I need an ambulance. In malibu. 4185 bluffside road. Yeah, she has a pulse but she’s unconscious… female, late 50s… her name is sheila carter… she’s um…she’s my mother. She’s my mom… this is dr. John finnegan, I can start chest compressions if necessary.

Ridge: So, um… how is my daughter, really?

Steffy: Honestly? Not great.

Ridge: That’s what I figured. That’s why I keep checking on ya. Donna called. She said she’s picking up the kids for the day. So that’s good, right, helpful. I just can’t believe– I can’t believe that finn would let sheila in this house.

Steffy: Yeah, that makes two of us.

Ridge: Sorry, I keep bringing it up.

Steffy: Honestly, I’m really worried about my relationship with finn.

Paris: I’m so sorry.

Finn: Yeah. Me, too.

Paris: I feel awful that you’re going through such a terrible time.

Finn: Well, I appreciate your support.

Paris: I can’t believe steffy cancelled going to the courthouse. I mean, doesn’t she want to make your marriage official?

Carter: I hope I didn’t make you feel uncomfortable or put you on the spot.

Quinn: By telling me that you miss me? No way.

Carter: Good. When we’re alone, I have a hard time hiding my feelings. You know, the ones I’m not supposed to have.

Quinn: I know those feelings well.

Carter: We were so close to making a life together. And that changed when eric wanted you back. I miss you, quinn. I won’t deny it. But I am happy for you. I can’t imagine what it feels like to be back in your husband’s arms.

Eric: I have… I have erectile dysfunction. I can’t, I can’T… I can’t make love to you.

Carter: Quinn? Is everything okay?

Ridge: You’re worried about your relationship? I mean, it’s more than that. You’re married.

Steffy: Technically, we’re not.

Ridge: What do you mean?

Steffy: We’re not officially married, dad.

Ridge: What, what are you talking about?

Steffy: We were supposed to go to the courthouse to file our marriage certificate, but… I couldn’t do it.

Finn: I–I’m sorry.

Paris: For what?

Finn: Dumping all my problems on you, and doing it here in the guest house, where there’s no air conditioning.

Paris: Okay, first of all, I can handle a little bit of heat. And secondly, you have absolutely nothing to be sorry about. I care about you and steffy. And if there’s anything I can do to help either of you– I’m happy to do anything you need.

Finn: You are a good friend.

Paris: Well, as a friend, could I have an opinion about this?

Finn: Of course. But I think I know what it is. I should never have let sheila in the house, let alone anywhere near hayes.

Paris: No. I think steffy is overreacting.

Carter: Is everything okay?

Quinn: Yeah. Sure.

Carter: Okay, I’m sensing like there’s something off. Is there some kind of trouble between you and eric? An adjustment period, maybe? He’s having a difficult time falling back into old patterns. It’s understandable. You know, given what happened between us. Give it time. He’s kind and forgiving. And he can be a little gruff, but deep down he’s just a, he’s just a big ‘ol teddy bear.

Quinn: Right.

Carter: I get the feeling like I didn’t help you, at all. What’S… what’s going on? Is there something you want to talk about?

[ Knocking on door]

Shauna: Oh. Uh… I was looking for flo. Am I interrupting something?

Quinn: Not at all.

Shauna: Okay. So why are you two behind closed doors? You try to stay ahead of the mess

Steffy: Things were so good between finn and me. Well, until sheila showed up.

Ridge: I’d never seen you that happy.

Steffy: It’s just hard to wrap my head around it. Everything was so wonderful and then my worst nightmare walks into the door.

Ridge: Well eventually, that nightmare’s gonna walk out the door. She’ll go back to her crazy, twisted life without hayes. ‘Cause he’s staying here. He’s gonna be raised by us. He’s going to be just like us and that’s scary enough, I think.

Steffy: I just want my kids to have every chance in life and not worry about sheila.

Ridge: I understand.

Steffy: It’s just wild to me, like how quickly things change. Like, one minute, I’m coming home. I’m excited to see my husband. I’m gonna surprising him and then the next, he’s staying in the guesthouse. Now today, I don’t know if I want to make our marriage official. Not yet. I can’t do it.

Paris: Look, I’m not bashing steffy. I would never do that. But, you’ll be out of here in no time once she starts thinking clearly again.

Finn: Hm, I don’t know about that. She said she couldn’t even look at me.

Paris: In the moment. All right, imagine the shock. She’s walks into her living room seeing sheila holding her baby in her arms.

Finn: You should have seen her face. It was… I mean, first shock and then, just… betrayal.

Paris: You were caught in the middle. Sheila might be the devil to everyone else, but she is your birth mother. You wouldn’t be human if you didn’t feel some kind of conflict.

Finn: Yeah, but there’s no question where my loyalties lie. It’s with my wife. I just… I let my dad… I don’t know, get into my head and I allowed something I never should have. I mean, what if that look of horror is always in steffy’s eyes whenever she looks at me?

Shauna: Did I walk in on a private moment?

Quinn: No.

Shauna: It’s just, it’s really odd after everything that’s happened– what you almost lost– that the two of you would be behind closed doors together, where anyone could easily misinterpret.

Quinn: For crying out loud, shauna. What are you? The door police? Carter and I both work in the same building. I mean, we just ended up in the same office.

Shauna: Okay. Just curious. Because you told me that you and eric were back together.

Quinn: Yes, we are. And I was telling carter how happy I am about that.

Carter: I’m delighted for them. And I mean it. I’m glad that you’re happy, quinn. You deserve no less.

Quinn: Thank you.

Carter: Now, I have some calls to make. Shauna.

Shauna: Carter. Well, that exchange was very weird.

Quinn: That’s just because you’re a naturally suspicious human being.

Shauna: Only with you.

Quinn: Gee. I’m touched.

Shauna: Oh, quinn, come on. I know you. I can tell that something’s weighing so heavily on you. What is going on? Tell me.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Steffy: I feel terrible about finn staying in the guest house. Maybe it isn’t fair. And I have to think about that as a possibility. I mean, he’s been there for me through some really difficult, challenging situations. And here I am just… doing the opposite, I’m telling him to leave.

Ridge: I think you’re being very fair. You need some room.

[ Sighing ] You’re meant to think. You’re conflicted. I mean, we all know that you love finn.

Steffy: I do.

Ridge: Bottom line is sheila. She– she’s a bad person. She wants to destroy anything to do with forrester. So we got to keep our guard up, especially with the kids.

Steffy: I get that. And finn didn’t ask for this. He wasn’t looking for his birth mother.

Ridge: No. But she found him. We have to be concerned.

Paris: That look in steffy’s eyes wasn’t for you. Come on, finn, you know she loves you. It doesn’t just disappear overnight.

Finn: It’s– it just kills me that I betrayed her trust. I mean, why did I not just kick sheila out immediately?

Paris: Because you’re human. Steffy has to try to understand that. She has to bend a little to try to understand your position. Sheila is your biological mother. And, and someone that you’ve wondered about your whole life and bam, she’s here. So of course, you’re drawn to her. Who wouldn’t be?

Finn: And I’d be fine if anyone was my birth mother but sheila.

Steffy: Yeah, but you don’t get to choose that.

Finn: True.

Paris: Steffy and you met way before my time in L.A., But I’ve heard enough stories to know that you’ve supported her through some really challenging times. Maybe it’s time she does the same for you. You two should be together, working through this. It’s not right of her to punish you. Have you staying here? You don’t deserve that.

Carter: We’re restocking already? Those bracelets are flying off the shelves. Yeah, yeah, yeah, quinn’ll be glad to hear that. Yeah, I’ll have her give you a call. Okay. All right, bye.

Shauna: I seem to remember us promising no more secrets. What is wrong, quinn? What is going on? Is it eric? Aren’t you happy to be back together?

Quinn: Of course I am. All I ever wanted was my husband. That’s how carter and I began. We were commiserating with each other over our broken relationships. I lost faith that eric would ever want me back. That’s, that’s why we had an affair. I hurt eric so much, but he found it in his heart to forgive me. He even ripped up the divorce papers.

[ Sighing ] That just shows you what a remarkable man he is.

Shauna: I totally agree. And I know firsthand how much eric loves you and how devoted he is. He always talked about what you brought to his life that he felt was missing: Excitement and vibrancy. Passion. Okay, I saw that look. Something is wrong. Quinn, I know you guys had your issues in the bedroom at one point. But that doesn’t seem to be the case any longer? Oh, quinn. He still doesn’t want to be with you?

Quinn: No… of course not. Eric wants me. He does but… but he can’T.

Shauna: Can’t what? What are you trying to say? (Cat 1) friskies world!

Ridge: I like finn. You– you do know that, right?

Steffy: Of course I do.

Ridge: Okay. I think he’s a good life partner for you. He’s good, he’s a good man and he loves you.

Steffy: I know.

Ridge: So I’m not standing here, attacking him… he’s in a tough spot. But so are you and I’m not sure that you’re realizing what this whole sheila thing is actually doing to you.

Steffy: No, I’m really freaked out dad, I am. I adore finn and I love our family. Our little baby boy. I’ve always had this vision for our future and it never included sheila! Like, I don’t– I don’t care if she’s his biological mother, but she’s not welcome here or anywhere near our family. And I don’t want–

Ridge: No, she’s not– shh. She’s not.

[ Sighing ] And finn’s gonna have to realize that. He’s gonna have to respect that. ‘Cause forgiving sheila… we can’t do that, not after everything she’s done to our family. But hey, you and finn, you got to work it out. You got to be stronger than ever.

Steffy: Yeah, I believe that. I do. I’m not gonna let anything come between us.

Ridge: Come here.

Paris: You are in an impossible position. I mean, not only was your bio-mom begging you for a moment, but your dad was pressuring you too.

Finn: Yeah, it was pretty intense. And I caved.

Paris: You thought that that would get sheila out of your lives for good.

Finn: Yeah, I did.

Paris: I mean, even if you did invite her in because you wanted to see your mother for one last time, who can blame you?

Finn: Yeah. Thanks for all the support, paris. I mean, I really appreciate it.

Paris: I’m just really impressed by you. You’re a good person. A healer. A devoted dad, not only to hayes, but to kelly. And you treat steffy like a queen. I find it hard to believe she didn’t race down to the courthouse to make the marriage official. I mean, she has to realize that she’s so lucky to be married to such an incredible guy.

Carter: I had to do that one last time.

Quinn: I’m so glad you did.

I’m not sure I should be talking about this.

Shauna: Your marriage? Your relationship to eric? Quinn, I’m your best friend. Who else are you gonna talk to about it? I can see you’re struggling with something. Is this about carter? I saw the way you two were looking at each other when I walked in and how intense it was. And you’ve confided in me what an incredible lover he is.

Quinn: Please. Don’t, don’t remind me.

Shauna: Honey? Talk to me?

Quinn: If I don’t talk to someone, I’m gonna explode.

Shauna: I’m right here.

Quinn: You know how much it meant to me to be back home with eric. I wanted to make it a romantic evening. You know, to– to show him that I love him. That I never stopped.

Shauna: Go on.

Quinn: I put on some sexy lingerie, and I went downstairs to the living room, but I found eric asleep on the couch. And I was disappointed at first, I was, but then I realized it had been a long day, we’d had a couple of martinis… I didn’t think anything of it and then, and then the next morning, he told me that he just… that he can’t keep this from me any longer.

Shauna: Keep what from you?

Quinn: Eric does want me. He desires me. He wants to be my husband in every way, but he can’t– he isn’t able to–

Shauna: Oh. Oh. Oh, quinn… you don’t mean…?

Quinn: My husband can’t get aroused anymore. Eric has E.D.. he can’t make love to me. He may never be able to make love to me ever again.

Adam: Uh, and then you can give closing remarks and tell people to eat, drink, and be merry.

Victor: Wait a minute. Now, you’re asking me to speak four times and you only speak once?

Adam: People expect to hear from you, so I say let’s give them what they want.

Victor: Son, you are the ceo of the company, and you need to assume a more public role, alright?

Adam: Uh, I will take the section on global vision.

Victor: Good idea.

Nikki: Well, look who i found.

Victor: Hey, my boy. Join us. We’re going over the details for the party.

Nick: Yeah, cool. I wanted to follow up on that conversation we were having earlier, but it can wait until you’re finished.

Adam: No, I think we covered everything, so floor’s yours. Go right ahead.

Nick: Yeah, um, it’s kind of a private matter.

Adam: Sure, um… I have some things I need to do. Oh, and by the way, thank you for convincing phyllis to let us have this event at the grand phoenix, even though two of her least favorite people will be hosting it.

Victor: Listen, we have paid a hell of a lot of money for this evening, okay? Besides that, think of all the money she’s making renting out all those suites. They’re coming from all over the place — toronto, new york, silicon valley, boston. What the hell is — who invited billy abbott?

Phyllis: Alright. Guys, in the kitchen, where are the oysters? I don’t see any of them. Call the distribution company please. Okay, everybody in parking, make sure that the valet is completely cleared out. All you guys in housekeeping, oh, this is all hands on deck, you know? We have the pickiest, most pain-in-the-ass people coming tonight. You know, it’s a newman event, so you got to be on it. Thanks.

Billy: Hey, there.

Phyllis: Hey. You here for a meeting?

Billy: No. No, just here to grab a drink.

Phyllis: Getting a drink now when you’re — you’re gonna be here tonight?

Billy: Yeah. Is that okay with you?

Phyllis: It’s okay with me. It’s just odd.

Billy: Odd? Odd like you hosting a party for victor and adam, two people you despise?

Phyllis: Well, I despise them, but, see, I’m getting paid for tonight. You’re here voluntarily.

Billy: Yeah. Well, to be honest, it’s not voluntary. I love the oysters. Can’t get enough of them.

Phyllis: You don’t like oysters. I know that. What are you up to?

Sally: Coffee with cream, please. Jack, how are you?

Jack: I’m fine.

Sally: I want to thank you for stopping me yesterday. In the park with phyllis. I was really about to lose my cool with her, and you’re a good influence on me. And I appreciate that.

Jack: I didn’t want to see things get out of hand.

Sally: Yeah, I don’t want that either. We’re all moving on.

Jack: Well, if that’s it.

Sally: Actually, there is one more thing. I am working for newman media now.

Jack: I’m aware.

Sally: Well, I will be attending the launch party tonight in my professional capacity, and I’ve seen the guest list, so I know that you will be there, too, so I just wanted to give you a heads up so you wouldn’t be surprised when you see me.

Jack: You thought somehow i would be traumatized seeing you at a party thrown by your new employer? Just how fragile do you think i am?

Sally: [ Scoffs ] It’s not that, I just didn’t want you to think that I had some ulterior motive being there, like I was following you.

Jack: Thought never occurred to me. And it wouldn’t have mattered if it did.

Sally: Okay, then.

[ Sighs ]

Victoria: So it was a — it was a hard day?

Ashland: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, I’d like to think the worst is behind me. At least until the next round of chemo.

Victoria: Then let’s change plans.

Ashland: Well, what do you mean?

Victoria: Tonight. We don’t have to go to the launch party to watch my dad and adam pat themselves on the back.

Ashland: No, no, no, no. Cyaxares was my baby before it became newman media, and I’m still on the board. It would be bad form not to make an appearance.

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Are you sure you’re feeling up to it?

Ashland: Yeah, dr. Hastings gave me some vitamins. I can probably stay upright for a couple of hours.

Victoria: Nate, he’s a very good doctor. I’m glad that he gave you something to make you feel better, but I really doubt that he’d want you to push yourself to the point of exhaustion. We don’t have to go to all of these events, you know. We can skip the nonessential ones so that you’re ready for the most important one — our wedding.

Ashland: I will be ready completely ready for that. You can count on it.

Victoria: I am. And to tell you the truth, i really didn’t want to go tonight anyway. You can call it sour grapes, but part of me would love to see adam and the rest of newman media fall flat on their smug faces.

It’s a simple fact:

Lily: I’m so happy to hear back from you so quickly. I’m taking that as a good sign.

Elena: Yeah, and I’m not gonna take up too much of your time.

Lily: Well, askmdnow is very important to us, so take all the time you need.

Elena: Thank you, but I know we both need to get ready for this launch party. But I also didn’t want to leave you hanging.

Lily: Okay, so have you made a decision?

Elena: Yes and no. Okay, here’s the thing — I want to do it, b–

Lily: Okay, wait, wait, wait. Before you say “but,” whatever it is holding you back, i promise you I will take care of it.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Adam: I invited billy and lily as a matter of professional courtesy.

Nick: That’s it?

Adam: No, there was a little reverse psychology at play. I mean, billy’s a contrarian. He likes a challenge. If I didn’t invite the guy, he’s gonna show up and be a nuisance.

Nikki: If you thought inviting him would trick him into staying away, it didn’t work. He rsvp’d yes.

Adam: Good. Let him come. He’ll have a couple drinks, he’ll make an ass of himself, and he’ll pout in the corner for the rest of the night.

Victor: Son, please, don’t be so damn glib about this, okay? This is a very important evening for us. We’re introducing newman media to the business world, and billy would love nothing more than to throw a wrench into the festivities. As far as I’m concerned, we should’ve squashed that company like a bug.

Nick: If you had done that, there’d be some collateral damage. It would’ve affected lily unfairly, which could cause some friction with devon and the rest of his family, and victoria would not be happy about that.

Victor: Who gives a damn? I don’t understand why she’s defending that character in the first place. After all he has done to her.

Nick: He is the father of her children, for starters.

Victor: Are you defending him, as well?

Nick: No, dad, I’m not. It’s just we have found some common ground on certain issues lately.

Adam: Well, let me get out of your hair. I, uh — I have a lot to do to get ready for tonight.

Victor: Yep.

Nikki: Me, too. I’m off to the salon. I will be back in plenty of time for the party.

Victor: Okay, sweetheart. Does this have to do with your sister?

Ashland: You know, I know your deal with adam goes back a lot deeper than cyaxares.

[ Sighs ] How far back does it go?

Victoria: Well, I mean, you read billy’s exposé on adam. I think that should be all the background that you need.

Ashland: Yeah, well, adam’s done some terrible things, but victor’s no saint either and you seem to have made your peace with him.

Victoria: Yeah, he’s my dad. I have a bond with him. I’ve idolized him ever since i was a child, and I’ll always see the good in him.

Ashland: And adam?

Victoria: Not the same way that I think of nick and abby. I mean, I didn’t really get to know him until we were adults, and by then, he was…

Ashland: Competition?

Victoria: No, this is not about our rivalry. He was conniving and vicious. It’s one thing to read about his crimes in that article, but it’s another thing to live with them and to see the anguish that he’s caused the people that I love.

Ashland: You’re speaking of billy’s daughter who was killed?

Victoria: Delia, she was very special, and then she was gone. Billy’s never gonna be the same.

Ashland: Well, I can understand why he’s so relentless going after adam and why he would be so fiercely protective of his own children. I would imagine he’s not gonna let up on me, but I don’t mind. I’ve experienced worse. It does bother me that these stories he’s publishing will be around online long after I’m gone, and I hate to think that harrison will come across these stories and I won’t be there to defend myself.

Victoria: Are you thinking about your legacy again? You know, you don’t have to worry. I’ll be happy to pass on anything that you want me to to harrison about your life or your past.

Ashland: Thank you.

Victoria: You already told me about the older woman who mentored you and gave you your start. Are there any other secrets that I should know about?

Billy: Mm.

Phyllis: You have that half-smile going. That means I’m not gonna like what you’re up to.

Billy: You don’t need to be worried about anything. I just came by to check out the vibe, make sure that I dress appropriately.

Phyllis: Really? Want to match your tie to the floral arrangement, do you?

Billy: All you need to know is what you already know. We protect our own.

Phyllis: You’re talking about your kids?

Billy: You went to the mat for summer, and I am willing to do the same for johnny and katie.

Phyllis: Oh, you’re talking about ashland and victoria.

Billy: Mm. Yeah. What do you know about him?

Phyllis: About ashland? He’s multi-faceted.

Billy: What does that mean?

Phyllis: He’s bossy, he’s obnoxious, and he’s arrogant. That’s what that means. And, you know, he gave up temporary custody of harrison to kyle and summer, and I guess everybody thought it was so selfless and generous.

Billy: Mm.

Phyllis: But that — that means nothing to you, right? He’s definitely dark. Those aren’t great qualities for a stepdad, are they? It doesn’t matter. You’re not marrying him. Right? Victoria is.

Billy: Well, victoria needs to know the facts before she does.

Phyllis: Oh, really, does she? You’re gonna tell her that? She’s a newman woman. I mean, they love a dark streak in a man. You know that. She was with you.

Billy: Yeah, well, it’s not that simple.

Phyllis: Are you planning on dredging up something from his past? Because, honestly, if you do, it has to be something terrible. Terrible. It can’t be some shady business dealing from the past. Victoria won’t care.

Billy: Oh, I don’t know about that.

Phyllis: Oh, I do. I mean, if you say he stole millions of dollars from an orphanage, she’ll say, “well, I mean, it was a long time ago and he’s changed since then.”

Billy: Yeah, she’s got a big heart that way.

Phyllis: Yeah, she’s got a big heart. Sure. If you do a background on ashland, the only one it’s gonna hurt is you.

Billy: Me?

Phyllis: Yeah, you. Definitely, I’m telling you. If victoria finds out that you’ve done that, she’s gonna come after you, I guarantee it.

Billy: You know, you’re not the first person to warn me of that. On the outside, I looked fine.

Nick: I was thinking about what you said earlier about, you know, anything we uncover about ashland’s past, we should keep under wraps.

Victor: We don’t want any information to fall in the wrong hands, namely billy abbott’S.

Nick: I agree. Trust me, I don’t intend to end up as one of his sources, but if the situation’s reversed and he comes to me with information, i really think we should keep the communication channels open.

Victor: Son, I don’t want you to have anything to do with him. Nothing. No communication with him, okay?

Nick: Okay, but how can you be sure that it’s not billy who’s the one who finds these skeletons in ashland’s closet, if they exist? He’s got a team of investigators out there, too. They were able to find out everything that your guys did about that woman who was mentoring locke.

Victor: Son, what are you suggesting? That you have an open communication with him all the time?

Nick: I’m just saying, if we truly believe that victoria could end up in some trouble with this ashland situation, then we should use every resource that we can, alright? And you shouldn’t hesitate to come to me with any information that you find. I promise you, it’s not going to end up in some chanccomm exposé. Neither of us want that.

Victor: We absolutely do not want that.

Nick: So just keep me in the loop, alright?

Victor: Look, this is all speculative, okay? As you and your mother pointed out, we don’t even know if there’s anything to find, okay?

Nick: Alright.

Victor: So, anyway, tonight is about newman media. Let’s celebrate it and have a good time, okay? I’m gonna get ready. I’ll see you at the grand phoenix. Alright?

Nick: Alright.

Ashland: Secrets? It sounds so mysterious when you put it that way.

Victoria: A woman takes you under her wing, and then she dies. And then you buy two television stations owned by her. It’s — it’s mysterious.

Ashland: But I wouldn’t call it a secret. I mean, the story’s been around for so long.

Victoria: Well, it was the first I’d heard of it.

Ashland: Because it just doesn’t come up anymore. But I’d be glad to answer any questions or concerns you might have about it.

Victoria: Are you okay?

Ashland: No, I’m fine. I just — I just need to rest.

Victoria: Okay, listen, here’s what I’m gonna do. I’m gonna — I’m gonna go to society and I am — I’m gonna get you some chicken soup. It’s rey — rey rosales’ sister’s famous recipe. Sharon swears it got her through her chemo.

Ashland: Well, that sounds good. I’ll have it with my smoothie.

Victoria: I’ll be right back.

Sally: Thanks.

[ Sighs ]

[ Scoffs ]

Jack: Something to add?

Sally: I know that I’m not your favorite person at the moment. Things are awkward between us, so I thought that I would give you a heads up that I was gonna be at the party, but you went out of your way to make me feel small and insignificant. You were deliberately hurtful, and, frankly, jack, that’s beneath you.

Jack: Are you finished?

Sally: [ Scoffs ] I am, actually. I’m finished with trying to play this game that I just can’t win. To hell with that. I am who I am. And I’m proud of myself and everything that I’ve accomplished. I have the tools and the drive to make a success of myself.

Jack: You always did. That’s the shame of it.

Sally: No, no, you know — you know what, jack? No more lectures. No more brilliant advice and no more pitying looks. I am making a fresh start with people who accept me and who are rooting for me, and it feels really good. So you can think whatever you want of me.

[ Scoffs ] I really don’t give a damn anymore.

Jack: [ Sighs ]

[Sfx] Cricket mnemonic

Victoria: Well, this can’t be a very good sign. Drinking alone in the afternoon?

Nick: Don’t read anything into it. I just needed, you know, a quiet place to think.

Victoria: And the library wasn’t serving beer.

Nick: No, but they should. You should sit down. I’ll let you buy the next round.

Victoria: I guess I could use an adult beverage. It’s been quite a day.

Nick: Mm. What’s going on?

Victoria: I have a feeling you already know. Surely dad’s told you that he’s having ashland investigated.

Nick: Yeah, he may have mentioned something about that.

Victoria: It is such a slap in the face.

Nick: Vick, you know it’s coming from a place of love.

Victoria: Well, it’s still insulting. You’re not okay with it, are you?

Nick: I don’t know, it’s tricky. I’m a father, too. I remember telling phyllis over and over again to stay out of summer’s issues ’cause she’s an adult and she can make her own decisions.

Victoria: Exactly.

Nick: But phyllis’ motherly instincts were spot on about tara and sally.

Victoria: Well, this is a different situation. It’s not about dad’s instincts. It’s about his lack of faith in my judgment.

Nick: No, it’s not, alright, vick? You get to make your own decisions. Nobody’s arguing with you about that. Dad just wants you to have all the information that’s available.

Victoria: [ Scoffs ] Okay, well, what dastardly deeds has he uncovered?

Nick: Nothing incriminating. But something puzzling.

Victoria: Tell me.

Nick: When ashland started out, he was mentored by an older woman.

Victoria: Well, of course she’s older. Mentors are, by definition, more experienced.

Nick: You want me to stop?

Victoria: No, I’m fascinated.

Nick: Well, when the woman died, ashland bought two of the tv stations that she owned and ran. This was the beginning of his media empire, and he was just in his 20s. Nobody knows where he got the money to purchase them.

Victoria: That’s it?

Nick: Doesn’t that sound concerning to you?

Victoria: No, not at all. Ashland’s already told me the entire story. He would’ve told you and dad, as well, if you would have just asked.

Nick: Well, alright. Well, did he tell you where he got the money?

Victoria: I really don’t think that it matters. Unless your implication is that he robbed a bank, it’s nobody’s business.

Lily: I’m sure you’re worried about the time commitment to askmdnow, ’cause I know you’re very busy at the hospital. But I promise you, we’ll work around your schedule.

Elena: I appreciate the flexibility, but there’s actually another issue I’d like to discuss. If I do this, I’d like to take a different approach.

Lily: Okay, how so?

Elena: Right now, the way things are set up, it’s basically that people have to seek information on the site. So they go on the internet, they type in their question, and the answers are right there for them.

Lily: Yeah, and that format’s been very effective.

Elena: I think it could be better.

Lily: Okay, tell me more.

Elena: Well, I would like to emulate the model of the clinic. We’re able to bring health services where people need them. We’re able to engage with the community. We’re proactive about reaching out to them.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, that’s very intriguing, but how do we translate that to an online setting?

Elena: Advertising, outreach.

Lily: Right. Like we give people the information they need before they know they need it.

Elena: Exactly. I think it would be so great if we could focus on preventative care. About maintaining your health instead of just treating symptoms.

Lily: Elena, we are gonna do some great things together.

[ Both chuckle ]

Sally: [ Sighs ] Adam. Thank you so much for the invitation to accompany you to the launch party. I’ve thought about it, and i would love to be your date. Does scrubbing feel like a workout?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Nick: That was fast. Is that for the kids?

Victoria: No, ashland. It’s lola’s chicken soup. I hope it works its magic. He’s had a rough day.

Nick: Chemo?

Victoria: Yes, this morning, and it’s hit him a lot harder than he expected.

Nick: Yeah, that’s rough. I mean, he’s really going through a lot.

Victoria: Exactly. And the last thing that he should have to worry about is his future father-in-law accusing him of god knows what.

Nick: Hey, just so you know, dad has said to me a few times he really hopes he doesn’t find anything in ashland’s past, and I believe him.

Victoria: That’s not even the point, nick.

Nick: Well, he likes ashland. He really respects him.

Victoria: Well, I would hate to see what disrespect looks like.

Nick: You already did. Billy — remember that? This has got to be better.

Victoria: So, what are you suggesting that I say to him — “well, you think you have it bad, you should see how he dealt with my ex”?

Nick: I mean, it’s progress, right?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Give mom and dad my regrets. I will not be attending the soirée this evening.

Nick: Okay. And what about our brother? Would you like me to say anything to him from you? I mean, it is his big night.

Victoria: Please.

Nick: You know he saved your niece’s life, right?

Victoria: Okay, fine. Tell adam “good job.”

Nick: [ Chuckles ] Hey, vick? You know, I listened to you rant about dad. I’m happy to do it, but I know you. If dad comes and says that ashland’s past is clean, I know you’re gonna be relieved. You might even thank him for his efforts.

Victoria: Well, I wouldn’t go that far. I might find it in my heart to forgive him by my wedding day. Thank you for the drink. Have fun at the party.

Victor: Abby? Hi, my sweetheart. I’m so sorry that you can’t make it tonight. Yeah, well, I know you have more important things to do. You got to keep an eye on that beautiful boy. He’s adorable. And I’m so happy that all of you — you and mariah and the baby boy are all healthy. Our prayers were answered, indeed. Okay. I’ll tell you all about it, okay? Love you. Good night. Sweetheart, I don’t want to be late for my own party.

Nikki: I’m ready, I’m ready.

Victor: Wow. My goodness. I don’t care how many years have gone by, you still take my breath away, baby. You look gorgeous. My god almighty.

Nikki: Well, are you gonna just stand there and stare, or are we gonna go out and have a night on the town? Because I was promised a party.

Victor: And you shall have a party. Come on.

Nikki: [ Chuckles ] Front loader odor.

Victoria: Hey. Would you like another bowl?

Ashland: Oh, no, thank you, my love. I’m full. And I can’t eat another thing, but thank you so much for taking such good care of me.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] You’re welcome. You know, it’s not like I mind getting takeout from one of my favorite restaurants.

Ashland: Well, I think I’m going to turn in. And I don’t think you should stick around here and just watch me sleep. You should probably head over to the party. No doubt it’s already begun.

Victoria: I already told you, I really don’t want to go.

Ashland: Yeah, but it’s a big deal. And everybody’s gonna be there. Probably be a good way for you to score points with your father. ‘Cause I know you had begun repairing the relationship with him when all this nonsense with his investigators began. And it would probably get under adam’s skin, as well.

Victoria: Well, you’re making it sound very tempting, but there’s nowhere that I’d rather be than right here with you. That’s all I want right now is some time with you. Now, are you really tired or were you just saying that to get me out the door?

Ashland: Well, I was exhausted, but you were right about the soup. It has restorative powers.

Victoria: Oh, good. So what do you say to a nice, relaxing back rub?

Ashland: I’d say I don’t deserve you.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, you can let me be the judge of that, thank you very much.

Victor: [ Speaks indistinctly ]

Phyllis: Oh, welcome to your big night.

Victor: Phyllis, how are you?

Nikki: Thank you. It’s a big night for you, too.

Phyllis: Yes, but all the details are in place.

Victor: This looks very nice, you know.

Phyllis: Ah, thank you.

Victor: Yes.

Phyllis: Thank you for you. So, congratulations on your new grandbaby. You must be thrilled. Abby must be thrilled.

Victor: Thank you. He is very sweet, and she is very happy.

Phyllis: Ah, great. Something extra to celebrate tonight.

Victor: Is adam around?

Phyllis: I’ve not seen him, but mr. Bainbridge is in the lounge.

Victor: Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He’s a new board member from syracuse, new york.

Phyllis: Great.

Nikki: Well, let’s go.

Victor: Let’s go.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Nikki: Oh, uh, go ahead, darling. I’ll be right there. It’s victoria.

Victor: Yep. Mr. Bainbridge. How are you?

Nikki: Are you on your way?

[ Gasps ] Oh, no. Oh, well, I’m so sorry. Well, if he’s resting, you could come on your own. We’d love to see you. I understand.

Phyllis: Wait, no ice? None? You need — well, you need about 30 bags. At the ice store. I don’t know where you get it. Somewhere, just get it. Seriously, these guys, they’re killing me. It’s an outside group that we hired. These are not my employees. They keep on screwing up. I’m gonna need some pampering after this is over.

Nick: Well, I’m your man.

Phyllis: Good. You are my man. You are my man — don’t forget it.

Nick: I haven’T. You look — bang. Wow.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ] I do? Thank you. Even with, you know, my headset.

Nick: You know, I feel like you’re about to ask me if I want fries with, like, my cheeseburger, you know? It’s kind of a turn-on.

Phyllis: Really?

[ Laughs ] Hey, nikki! It’s nikki. It’s your mom.

Nikki: Hi.

Nick: Mother, you look incredible.

Nikki: Well, thank you. You look rather dapper yourself.

Phyllis: Isn’t he handsome?

Nikki: Of course.

Phyllis: Are you serious? Low on champagne, as well? You guys got to be kidding me.

Nikki: She’s very busy.

Nick: Yeah.

Nikki: I just spoke with victoria, and she and ashland will not be coming tonight.

Nick: Yeah, he had chemo today.

Nikki: And I feel for him, but I doubt they would have shown up no matter what. Victoria’s still frustrated with your father for investigating her fiancé. I assume that’s why you came over earlier — to talk about that?

Nick: Let’s not get into that right now.

Nikki: So much for reverse psychology.

Lily: Well, I really hope devon doesn’t feel weird about coming here after what happened last time. Our family has come so far since then.

Billy: Yeah.

Lily: Okay, clearly, you’re just gonna focus on victoria and ashland all night. Well, if that’s the case, please make it less obvious. Otherwise, victoria’s gonna get upset.

Nick: You don’t need to worry about that. Victoria’s not here, billy, so if she’s the only reason you showed up, then you don’t need to stay. Yeah, yeah, yeah

Billy: Oh, come on, nick, look at this place. There’s gonna be a lot of powerful people here, a lot of people that we need to say hi to. Plus, when phyllis throws a party, there’s always bound to be fireworks. And the good kind, the unexpected kind. That’s what I’m here for.

Lily: So, um, why isn’t victoria coming? Did she find out that victor is investigating ashland?

Billy: She did, and she’s not happy, but ashland had his second round of chemo today. That’s why they’re not here.

Lily: Oh, well, that’s really rough. I know the day of treatment is awful, but the day after was even worse, so he definitely needs to rest.

Billy: Of course, unless it’s a cover story.

Nick: It’s not. I ran into victoria at society and she was picking up soup for ashland.

Billy: Did you ask her about ashland’s widow?

Lily: Um, you know, hey, there’s nate and elena. Let’s go say hello.

Phyllis: Yeah, the ballroom is open now. You can let everyone know. Ohh.

[ Indistinct conversation ] Hey!

Jack: Wow! Place looks amazing. You look even better.

Phyllis: Ah, thank you, thank you. So did you get that picture from summer and kyle?

Jack: Yeah, I did.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ] So adorable. Harrison seems to be adjusting.

Jack: Yeah, he’s a cutie.

Phyllis: He is. You don’t sound very enthusiastic.

Jack: Oh, I —

Phyllis: Don’t worry about it. I get it, I get it. But listen, I love the pictures. I want her to keep sending them, but it’s like a dagger to my heart. I just want my daughter here.

Jack: Yeah, that big old house is so empty right now, I’m tempted to ask billy to bring johnny and katie over to run around and make noise.

Phyllis: Billy’s here with lily. Is there a problem?

Jack: I would just as soon he steer clear of adam altogether. He’s on the right track with lily and the kids and everything he’s doing at chanccomm. Why borrow trouble?

Phyllis: Yeah, well, a lot of his success at chanccomm has to do with his relationship with adam and victor.

Jack: Well, those successes are a double-edged sword. There’s so much pain and trauma in their history. Why would he get sucked back in to all that misery?

Elena: It is nice to have an excuse to get dressed up again.

Lily: What do you mean? Who needs an excuse? Let’s just go on a double date sometime. Yeah?

Billy: Yeah, I’m in.

Nate: Yeah, name the time and place. We’re there.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Elena: Ah! My patient is having post-op complications. I need to get back to the hospital.

Nate: Want me to come with you?

Elena: No, no, no, you stay here, enjoy. Hopefully it won’t be too complicated, and I’ll be back before the party’s over.

Billy: See you.

Elena: Excuse me.

Nick: Hey, dad.

Victor: Hi, son. Do me a favor. Keep an eye on billy boy abbott, okay? I don’t trust that guy.

Nick: Yeah, I talked to him earlier. It seems like he’s here just for the party and not to be a trouble-maker.

Victor: I assure you, he is not just here for the party. That guy is trouble, wherever he goes.

Nick: Alright, if it’ll make you feel better, I’ll keep an eye on him.

Victor: Please do.

Nikki: I assume by the look on your face that nicholas told you the news.

Victor: What news?

Nikki: Did adam tell you he would be bringing her?

Victor: Unh-unh.

Phyllis: Son of a bitch.

Jack: She said she was coming. She didn’t mention with whom.

Phyllis: Well, I’m kicking her out.

Jack: No, you can’T.

Phyllis: Why not? I’ve done it before.

Jack: She’s the date of the co-host. You have an event to run. Don’t get sidetracked.

Phyllis: Okay. They’re both so destructive, they’ll bring each other down. Karma’s a bitch.

Sally: Everyone’s staring.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] Good. It is a newman media party, so all the attention should be on the company’s employees.

Sally: Well, I think I’m gonna enjoy myself. Thank you, again, for inviting me. It’s gonna be fun.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] It is, indeed.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

you’re still cold? Yes! Share your blankie with me. Yeah? Okay. Yes. Mm.

[ Exhales softly ] Better? Much better. Roughing it has improved since I last went camping. I’ve never been so happy to get off the grid.

[ Brush crunching ]

[ Loud clattering ] What the hell? Is that what I think it is?

[ Chuckles ] We have got to stop meeting like this. I was thinking we should always meet like this — motor oil aroma, cinder block echo. I feel like I’m in an old springsteen video. Um, don’t get mad at me for asking, but, um, did we have plans tonight? We did not. Okay. I was hoping to surprise you, and that way we could make plans together. Huh. What’d you have in mind? I’m open to suggestions.

[ Chuckles ] After all, things have changed a little since my last garage seduction. Hmm. Not that much. Hello? Hi. Perfect timing. The first course is ready. There are courses? Mm-hmm. Wow. What inspired all of this? Well, you have a kitchen and a washing machine, and now that I am living in a dorm, I understand what luxuries those are. Well, you’re more than welcome to them any time. But I’m a little confused, though, because usually when the kids come home from college, they expect a home-cooked meal. They’re not the ones doing the cooking. Yes, well, I am not your ordinary college girl. That is true. And this is not your average hors d’oeuvre. I cannot wait for you to try the sauce. Look at you! This sauce is so good, your shirt wanted a taste. You know, that’s not important. You know why? ‘Cause you haven’t had dessert. No, dessert is going to have to wait, because if we don’t treat that stain, it’s gonna set in, so come on, hand it over. Hope you had a nice flight. What do you got for me, mr. Buscema? I should be asking you that question, mr. Renault. If you want my help taking down the corinthos organization, you need to start by telling me how it can benefit my business. Thank you, mr. Novak, for the lovely drinks on the terrace. I appreciate your generosity, but there’s no need to buy me dinner. I insist. A small price to pay for the pleasure of your company.

[ Chuckles ] Well, I don’t know how much of a pleasure it’s been. I just can’t get past carly’s rudeness. And that’s the last word I’ll say about her, I promise. No need to apologize about venting about carly corinthos. Sounds like you have a complicated history.

[ Scoffs ] Okay, I’m going to go see brando and see if he has a lead on cyrus’ connection with the five families. Alright, well, just take a guard. Well, I think it’s safe, I think it’s — no, no. You’re gonna take a guard anyway. Should I be worried? No, because if it comes down to it, I’ll get to novak and his nephew, and I may have to anyway. Why? Because nobody threatens you, carly. If anybody tries, they lose everything.

Your presence here sends a clear message that even though the buscema family supported carly and jason replacing sonny, our interests are aligned. I’m obligated to consider all options. Well, since this is really just about business, the bottom line, as it were, is that jason morgan and the widow corinthos are bad for it. Tell me, gladys, how soon after sonny’s passing did mrs. Corinthos and mr. Morgan connect? Practically at the wake. But…

[ Glass clinks ] …And this is not gossip. Of course not. The truth and nothing but, yes? Yes. While carly and jason were making lovey-dovey shark eyes at each other, jason was already playing slap and tickle with some doctor at general hospital. Well, if it isn’t the happy couple. Congratulations on picking the wedding date. You’ve heard. It’s hard to keep a secret like that from the internet. It’s coming up fast. Not a lot of time to plan. Yeah, well, um… no time like the present. Um… I just want you to know, I wish you two nothing but the best. The bestest.

[ Laughs ] So, to what do I owe this pleasure? Well, I thought that we could use a little dad-daughter time. Aww, that is so sweet of you. But what’s the real reason?

[ Chuckles ] Okay. That celebration dinner at the metro court was a disaster. Yes, I know, and I’m sorry about that. I should have left my recent argument with your mother at home where it belonged. Yes, well, except it’s not really recent, dad. I mean, this tension between you and mom has been going on for months. And, yes, I noticed. It’s just you guys usually work things out a lot faster than this, so I’m getting a little bit worried. I…

[ Beeping ] The oven timer should not be going off — yeah, that’s actually the smoke alarm. -Okay. -It’s still… finn: Oh, my god! My god. Can I provide assistance? Let me have a look at him first. Just — be careful. He’s tangled up in his parachute. I have my honor badge in knots! Go for it. Go quick. Okay, this looks like a barrel knot. Just untie it!Just untie it! That should do it. Okay. Help me turn him over. Nice and easy. Nice and easy. Oh, my god.

Scott.

It appears to be a parachute accident. The victim is male, early 60s. He’s unconscious. Yeah. Hold on. 911’s asking for his vitals. Surprisingly good. He doesn’t appear to have any broken bones. I think he’s just out cold. There’s a doctor and a nurse on the scene. They say the victim doesn’t have any broken bones, but he remains out cold. That means unconscious. We’re approximately 200 yards from the campgrounds. Tell the ambulance there’s vehicle access via the firebreak. Thank you. An ambulance is en route. Thank you, wyatt. It’s good to see you again. You two know each other? Our paths have crossed. It was a long time ago, though. How are you doing, wyatt? I see you’re still a pc pioneer. Second class. I have two more badges until I’m a pioneer first class. I’ve already got my first aid and trail triage badges, though, so if you need any help with him — okay, thank you, wyatt. Thank you. Scott. Hey, scott, can you hear me? Scott. Come on. It’s elizabeth and dr. Finn and pc pioneer wyatt. Can you tell us what happened? Are we there yet? Thank you so much for helping me with dinner. No, it’s the least I can do. I mean, after your big effort. Looks like I inherited mom’s talents in the kitchen. I wouldn’t go that far. You know, trina even tried to give me some pointers, but it turns out there’s only so much even she can do. Okay, I tell you what. Anytime you want to come over and practice your cooking skills, I will be happy to be your guinea pig, especially when it’s lady jane’s recipe. Well, I hope you still feel that way after dinner is served. Well, while we wait, why don’t you… why don’t you tell me what’s concerning you about your mother and me? Well, actually, I’m mostly concerned about you. You know, ever since you got back from nixon falls, you’ve been stressed out. No. I’m fine. Really, josslyn, I’m — you don’t need to worry about me. Really? Mm-hmm. So your stress has nothing to do with the fact that mom is marrying jason? I caught up with maxie the other day. She’s hard at work planning your wedding. I’m surprised at the magnitude of the festivities. Yeah, well, we told maxie “understated.” Understated as in tasteful or small? Because maxie’s going all-out, apparently with your blessing. I can’t help but wonder what you and carly are trying to prove. Cyrus: Sonny corinthos has always been the man in charge. Jason morgan simply provided the brute force necessary to keep him there. He’s a gifted enforcer, nothing more. An interesting perspective, mr. Renault. If morgan had the initiative to take over for sonny, he would have removed mrs. Corinthos. Instead, he’s marrying her and asking the families to ignore that a civilian’s marched into their organization and began calling the shots. A civilian who could go to the feds, which puts us all in danger of exposure. I’m not only putting in extra hours here at the garage, I picked up some side gigs to pay for improvements on my apartment. I’m thinking when my mother finally moves out…

[ Ratchet tightens ] Well? Well, what? Um… you and I could, uh, you know, maybe… should we move in together? I didn’t realize you were ready for that step. Um, we’re both busy people who want to spend more time together. What better way to do that than to come home to the same place when we’re, you know, done being busy? Well, I mean, I would hope that if we were to live under the same roof, it would be more than just a crash pad. I’m thinking a temporary home. You know? While I save money for a new place. Of course, I know that you can afford a beautiful home on your own already. I wouldn’t go that far, but go on. If, and when, we get a place together, I want to pull my weight. You don’t have to decide anything right now. I just hope that you’ll at least consider it. Oh, I will definitely consider it. There’s just one thing I need to know. What’s that? What are these side gigs? Oh, they’re just side gigs. Carly: Brando?

[ Footsteps ] There you are. I need to talk to you. It’s really important. Nina: Okay, the trick is — oop — you have to use a lot of club soda. I mean,

a lot of club soda, because you have to push it through the fabric so you don’t set the stain. You don’T… well, you try not to set the stain. You know, I-I learned all these really nifty, weird tricks on how to clean clothes from all the crimson shoots that I have been on. One other really cool thing is, um… equal parts dish soap and hydrogen peroxide. That also works… miracles. Okay, we’re not gonna ask for discounts on floor models, demos or displays. Shopping malls can be a big trigger for young homeowners turning into their parents. You ever think about the storage operation a place like this must rely on? -No. They just sell candles, and they’re making overhead? You know what kind of fish those are? -No. -Eh, don’t be coy. [ Laughs ]

[ Sniffs, clears throat ] Koi fish.

Okay. Thanks. Chase is loving watching the kids, alright? Aiden’s gonna teach everybody how to make something called campfire blondies? Oh, my god, they’re so good. And he’s saving you one. And my daughter apparently is so excited about the prospect of scary campfire stories that she hasn’t even asked when I’ll be back. Oh. Kids and their priorities, right? Hey. You know our people are taking great care of scott, right? Yeah. Yeah, I know. Regardless of how many pending lawsuits he has against the hospital. A man’s got to eat, right?

[ Laughs ] Sorry to interrupt, dr. Finn. The attending would like a word. Okay. Lead the way. Elizabeth. Thanks for the call. You said scott baldwin was involved in a skydiving mishap? We don’t know what happened. We just know he crash-landed near our campsite. Who’s the “we”? Dr. Finn and me. We were on a family camping trip. Was mr. Baldwin able to tell you what happened? No, he was still too out of it. Do you know if I can speak to him now? Commissioner, I’m glad you’re here. He’s in room 1024. Okay, thank you. Oh, before you go in, um… the attending was just in with scott, and we’re in agreement that he was not knocked out on impact. We’re running a tox screen, and if the results are what we anticipate… scott didn’t make that jump voluntarily. Don’t —

[ Chuckles ] Don’t answer that. It’s none of my business. Okay. “Okay” is an answer, and it’s probably an even more annoying answer than the answer to the original question. You’re about to say something. Don’T.

[ Laughing ] Wow. I bet this is the first time anyone’s ever told you to say less. I think you’re right. Uh, look, um… whatever’s going on, yeah, it makes no sense to me, but so what? I have decided I don’t need to know all the answers or secrets to the universe. I just have to accept them. So, I’m glad I got that out of my system. Now I can move on. So you don’t approve of this union between mrs. Corinthos and mr. Morgan? Oh, please. That gold-digging climber bled my cousin for all he was worth, and then the second he was gone, she turned around and threw herself at morgan. No gratitude, no loyalty, no class. And how dare they not invite me to their wedding? Well, why would you want to attend a wedding celebrating a union for which you so sorely disapprove? What can I say? It’s the hottest ticket in town.

[ Both laugh ] What makes you think I’m worried about your mother marrying jason? Because it’s impossible to miss. Wow, I really got to work on my poker face, don’t I? Yes. It’s terrible. So, is the problem that she’s marrying jason or that she’s remarrying in general? It’s more of a parenting thing, actually. Okay, well, that is a very broad answer. Mm-hmm. Okay, look… from the moment a child comes into this world, it’s a parent’s job to look out for danger and to make sure that child is safe. And you’ve done that. Yes. Yes, we’ve done that, and — but, you know, you going off to college, because you’re my only child, it comes with a whole set of new worries. Oh, dad, you don’t have to worry about me. But I do. No, you don’T. I’m still gonna be the same person I’ve always been. I’m just not under a parental roof. No, and I’m glad to hear that. And look, to be honest, it’s not you. I’m not worried about you. It’s — I’m worried about other people. Well, I’m sure mom’s told you that I have a bodyguard. Yes, she did. Yeah. How do you feel about that? Well, it used to bother me, you know, to have someone constantly looking over my shoulder. But, you know, then I realized that it’s for my safety, and devin, he’s pretty cool, so I might act like it’s some huge inconvenience, but it does make me feel better. Okay. And cam’s been cool about it, too, so… oh, and speaking of cam, how is that going? We’re happy. That’s all you’re getting, dad. Okay, okay, okay. Fine. That’s great, and that’s — you know, I mean, you should be just living your life and having fun and let me do all the worrying. Thanks. I was planning on it. Good. But I’m happy to know that you’re on the job, too. Always. Well, now that we’ve let this cool off, maybe we should try this amazing appetizer. Okay. Yay. Sasha, you’re so beautiful, and you’re glowing! Thank you. Oh! Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt. I just really need to pick your brain for a minute, and it’s important. Whatever you need. While you two talk, I will go visit the ladies’ room. Okay. Thank you. It’ll just be a minute, I promise.

[ Whispering ] Hey. I hope sasha doesn’t think I don’t trust her. Oh, by now I’m sure sasha understands that there’s some conversations that she’s better off not hearing. Yeah, especially this one. What’s going on? Well, unfortunately, having cyrus incarcerated far away did not have the effect that we were hoping for. Turns out, he still has connections and he’s using them to target people here in port charles he feels wronged him. The last time I saw cyrus, he tried to kill me and my mother. You think he intends to finish the job?

What exactly are you proposing? That the five families use carly and jason’s wedding as a window to strike. The event itself provides an alibi to the family heads, and with one fell swoop, we can hobble the corinthos organization so there’s no chance of recovery or retribution. It’s a risk. One has to speculate to accumulate. So, are you in or out? Must I decide now? Oh, not now, but soon. The wedding is approaching fast, and this may be the only shot we have to neutralize morgan and his new bride once and for all. I don’t know if cyrus is coming after you or not. I’ll assume the worst. Yeah. What do you need from me? Well, cyrus has somehow forged a relationship with someone high up in the five families. Now, jason’s trying to figure out who. I’m not sure how much help I can be. I mean, I was only cyrus’ driver. It’s not like I was exactly high up the food chain. Yeah, well, you were perfectly placed to interact with people on the ground. I mean, you would talk to the other guards from the families, right? I mean, you guys would hang out outside and talk while we were inside doing business. True. But we mostly talked sports… and sports. I mean, it’s not like we were exchanging trade secrets. Okay, well, was there anyone who seemed more loyal to cyrus or who seemed really sympathetic after he was busted? Nobody springs to mind. But I did keep a coded notepad, when I was reporting to jason. I could review those and let you know if I find anything. That would be great. Anything else? What about joey novak? Did he ever come in for that tune-up? Gladys, it so happens,

i am attending the wedding, and I would be honored if you would accompany me. Okay. This is not my first rodeo,

or my second. What’s your angle?

[ Chuckles ] You know what? You remind me of my ex-wife. And you’re not the first man to tell me that, and it’s never a ringing endorsement. Oh, but it is. You see, gladys,

she left me.

[ Both laugh ] Okay, well… then, vincent… I guess I will see you at the wedding. You have somewhere to be? Someone I’m meeting, actually. Oh, and I think he just arrived. Have a good evening. Britt: Hi. Hi. Wow! Mm! This is incredible. I mean, the cheese has great flavor. The marinara is to die for. Yeah. I didn’t make the sauce. Well, you put together this beautiful selection. What, you don’t like it? No, I like it. I love it. Then why the face?

[ Timer sounds ] Um, I’m — I’m gonna go grab the stew. Mm. Mm! Oh! Oh, no, no. What’s happening? Your hair is caught in my watch. Oh! Oh! Can I help you? Okay, let me take it off. I don’t want anything coming between us, alright? Ow! Okay. How about you allow me to do this? I’ll take it — ohh! Wait! There, okay. Alright. Come here. I’m sorry, mike. I can’t do this.

[ Door opens ] Scott? Oh, elizabeth. Oh, I’m so glad you’re okay. Oh, yeah, yeah. It’s gonna take a lot more than a fall to break this humpty dumpty. Are you up for answering some questions, mr. Baldwin? Uh, I’m a little fuzzy, but, you know, fire away. What’s the last thing you remember? Well, I was on a plane. Private or commercial? Private. Where was the plane headed? Uh… some woman’s name, like, um… saint lucia. Next thing I know, you know, we’re going into this nosedive. Then the oxygen masks, you know, drop. We didn’t even have a chance to sip our champagne. Champagne? Was somebody with you? Of course somebody was with me — liesl. Why else would i charter a private jet? Now, please tell me that she’s here and she’s okay.

But the greatest thing about home brewing and what truly makes it magic, and you may not even believe me when I tell you this, but it’s the way that you — oh, no! There’s an emergency at work. Oh. It was nice to meet you. Duty calls.

[ Cellphone rings ] If only you had called me five minutes ago, I wouldn’t have had to lie. What’s up? I need you to get here as soon as you can. Thank you, dr. Westbourne. Obrecht hasn’t shown up in the er or been admitted. Um, I have amy checking the other hospitals. The faa and the ntsb have no reports of any crashes. I have a call in to find out if any aircrafts have lost contact with air traffic control. The flight plan and the manifest won’t be available tonight. This doesn’t make any sense. Parachutes aren’t exactly, uh, standard safety gear, even on a private jet, right? No, not standard, no. And given that scott was dressed in travel clothes instead of a jumpsuit, it’s pretty clear he was forced out of that plane. Yeah, there’s a lot we still don’t know, but this wasn’t an accident, and whoever arranged it is powerful and potentially deadly. Now, if you or the other families are concerned about liability, I would be more than happy to coordinate the takeover personally. From here? Can you do that? Oh, I’ve had plenty of practice running things remotely. And all this to take carly and jason off the board. Tell me, mr. Renault, what’s really in this for you? Novak never showed. Oh. Well, he’s not likely to. He’s been sent abroad, at least according to vincent novak. I almost wish I was still good with cyrus. Wouldn’t it be nice if I could just go directly to the source? Yeah, it would be, but unfortunately, the trust that cyrus had in you was gone the second sasha chose you over him. Lucky me. I think saving her life had something to do with it. Yeah, it’s funny how life works out. I had so much respect for sonny, and also jason came through for me a lot. I’m just glad you and jason found each other, and now we both have unexpected love in our lives. Yes, and I know we both want to protect that love, and we’ll do that by finding out who cyrus is working with. Well, joey novak isn’t the only made guy with a car. I’ll reach out to novak, wu, and buscema’s people and let them know I’m open for business, and with a special discount for former work associates. Nothing like a beer and a wait on their hands to get guys talking. Thank you. Mm-hmm. You are a great help. And what is brando helping with, exactly? Okay, dinner is served. Okay, but before we sit, what was bothering you before? Oh, it’s nothing. It didn’t seem like nothing. I am literally too embarrassed to say it out loud. Oh, come on, joss. You know that you can tell me anything. Okay, this is going to sound really weird, but that sauce, it tasted exactly like sonny’S. Like, exactly. Okay, well, sonny was known to be a pretty good cook, I guess, and most marinara sauces have the same ingredients. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Most marinara sauces, even the best ones, taste the same. But sonny’s — I mean, did that taste like any other marinara sauce to you? Uh… well, actually, no. It didn’T. A little — had a spicy kick to it. Uh-huh. Almost like an arrabbiata, but not, and a little smoky. Yeah. Yeah. Sonny’s sauce was unique, at least until now. I mean, I’m telling you, dad, if I didn’t know he was dead, I would have swore that he made that himself.

Scott? Commissioner ashford told me you were here. Oh, so you spoke to her? You spoke to elizabeth and finn? I came straight to see you. In case there was a story you needed me to get straight? Aren’t you supposed to be on the way to saint lucia with my mother? What happened? I don’t know, you know. We were on a private jet. Then, next thing I know, the plane starts to go down, and then there’S… the oxygen masks are dropping. And then all I can remember is coming to on the ground with some — some kid in a pioneer scout uniform standing over me with finn and elizabeth. And my mother? Please tell me she bailed out with you, scott. I don’t remember bailing out myself. I hope to god that your mother made it off that plane safe. Sasha, you truly have nothing to worry about. Gladys: Carly! Ooh! Whoa!

[ Laughing ] I’m so glad I ran into you. Oh! Mom. Mom. Please tell me you didn’t drive. No, of course not. I took a ride. A ride… a rideshare? That’s the one. Anyway, since you’re here… mm-hmm? …I did want to let you know. Know what? Oh. [ Laughs ] That. Um… even though you may not have seen fit to invite me, I will be a guest at your wedding after all. I’m coming as a plus-one! Let me guess. No, you’re never gonna guess! Vincent novak. How’d you guess? Gifted. Oh. Carly? I can’t wait to share in your special day, and… …I’ll have the chicken. Wait, wait, no. The fish. Uh, on second thought, maybe the chicken. Mr. Novak. Mr. Morgan. I was wondering if I might see you here. Yeah, listen. There are rumors that cyrus is making some moves from behind bars, and I want to make sure that doesn’t threaten the peace. You always get straight to the point, mr. Morgan. I admire that. Therefore, I shall do the same. The corinthos family has nothing to fear from the novaks, certainly not where cyrus renault is concerned. You must remember that renault lay siege to my men in that warehouse. That, I do not forgive. And in these circumstances, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Remember, mr. Buscema, I am first and foremost an opportunist. Where there is turmoil, there is an opening to strike. As to what’s in it for me, the answer is simple — I want revenge. Mike, it’s — I’m sorry. It’s just this watch is evidence of the life that you used to have, and if you ever remember that life, the people that you loved and the people who loved you — you mean the people who didn’t bother to come looking for me? Please listen to me. If somehow, you remember that life, you might discover that there are a bunch of people out there that love and miss you, and you might even discover that you love and miss them. So, mike, you can’t give yourself fully to me until you go out there and you learn everything you can learn about who you used to be before you came to nixon falls. I don’t want to do that. I told you, I don’T. How many times do i got to tell you I don’t want to do that? And… until you do, I can’t give you all of me. Find out who you are. Given your relationship with sonny, you probably never tried his marinara, but you have to believe me when I tell you this tastes exactly like sonny’s sauce. Okay. Where’d you get it? Trina picked it up at some bar in nixon falls. Really? Well, what was the name of the bar? You know what? You’re right, I’m being ridiculous. No, no, I didn’t say that. No, it has to be a coincidence. I mean, this can’t be sonny’s sauce. It’s crazy, right? Jax: What the hell? Right. Crazy.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[Soft dramatic music]

Brady: Good night.

Chloe: Night.

Brady: Uh, chloe–sorry. Do you mind if I read something? I’m not sleepy. I just–I’m–

Chloe: Oh, for god’s sake, just come sleep in the bed.

Brady: I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.

Chloe: Just stay on your side.

Brady: Are you–are you– only if you’re sure.

[Sighs]

Chloe: What are you doing with that blanket?

Brady: Think of it as the wall of jericho.

[Sighs] This is much nicer. Thank you.

Chloe: Sure.

[Brady sighs]

[Tense music]

[Brady exhales deeply]

Johnny: [Sighs] Okay. Uh, she’s not answering your texts. That’s okay, buddy. You just gotta up your game. And…ah. Hey, chanel, it’s me. You know that it’s me because it’s a video of me. Hey, I’m sorry about my sister earlier causing a scene. I just wanted you to look at this face and ask yourself, do I look like a player? No. Do I look like somebody that is aggressive towards women? No, because I’m not at all. I think that women are actually the superior sex and that, you know, we would all be better off if they– if you ran the world, you know? I just think that–

Ej: Quite a performance. I take it that your date didn’t go very well. Hm?

Paulina: Honey, you’re a baker. You gotta be up in five hours.

Chanel: I know, but I’m just trying to figure out how to answer johnny’s text.

Paulina: Whose text?

Chanel: Johnny. Aka giovanni.

Paulina: Oh, right. Giovanni. [Chuckles] Damn, I like saying that. I like saying, “chanel and giovanni” even more.

[Chuckles] Perfect names for a perfect couple.

Chanel: Sorry to disappoint you, but we aren’t any kind of couple, let alone a perfect one.

Paulina: What happened?

Chanel: Allie.

Johnny: Are you jealous or something?

Allie: Don’t be dumb, okay? I’m with tripp, and chanel is my friend, and that’s it.

Johnny: I don’t know if I believe that. And deep down, I don’t think you do either.

Allie: [Sighs]

Nicole: Allie? Allie? Um…

Allie: Hi. Is something wrong with henry?

Nicole: No, no, it’s just that it’s late, and I saw your light on. Is something bothering you?

Allie: Not something. Someone.

Rafe: Good god.

Ava: Nice to see you too.

Rafe: Come on, ava. When a man comes home to find his girlfriend sitting in the dark with a suitcase, he’s not thinking it’s a surprise trip to hawaii.

Ava: No. No, I was waiting to tell you to your face. I’m moving out.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Rafe: What you have seen is that nicole and i are friends, but what you have imagined is more than that.

Ava: I’m not imagining it.

[Chuckles] I–it has been in my face for months, and I just have not wanted to see it because I care about you too much.

Rafe: I care about you too.

Ava: I know that. It’s just not enough. I don’t know when you and nicole became more than friends, but you are.

Rafe: Okay, for the last time, there is nothing going on between us.

Ava: Okay, then how come I saw her in your arms this morning?

Brady: You are not making this easy.

Chloe: Mm.

Brady: Oh.

[Light beeps]

[Sighs] What the…?

Philip: Why am i not surprised? As someone who resembles someone else…

Paulina: So giovanni is really johnny dimera?

Chanel: Yeah, his grandfather called him giovanni.

Paulina: I don’t care if he called him tweety bird. It’s the last name that counts. Dimera… as in dimera enterprises, as in the dimeras who have more money than the gdp of a small country?

Chanel: Mama, you should see the house. And they have a butler.

Paulina: They have a seat on the stock exchange. Oh, girl. [Chuckles] Oh, girl, you done good. You’ve learned from your mistakes.

Chanel: Huh?

Paulina: Mm-hmm, this time, when you set out to snag a rich man, you actually made sure that he really is rich. Not like that xavier person.

Chanel: Xander.

Paulina: Whatever.

Chanel: And I didn’t set out to snag a rich man. I didn’t even know johnny had money when I met him. I just liked him.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Well, if you like him poor, then you must be crazy about him rich. [Chuckles]

Chanel: Yeah, but he’s not. He’s on the outs with his dad. I met him too, ej dimera. Not a warm and fuzzy kind of guy. Like, he won’t give johnny any money for his movie.

Paulina: Well, so is johnny down in the dumps about that? Is that what made things hit the skids?

Chanel: No, things hit the skids because… johnny is allie’s twin brother.

Johnny: First of all, I didn’t blow the date, okay? And even if I did, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal to blow a first date. It’s nothing like blowing a marriage. How is mom, anyway? You talk to her lately?

Ej: No, no, I haven’T.

Johnny: I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that.

Ej: I think I had it coming to me.

Johnny: Still, it was below the belt.

Ej: I haven’t been exactly marquis of queensbury to you. Sorry.

Johnny: I miss her too.

Ej: I know that. And I haven’t made things any easier for you since you’ve been back.

Johnny: No, no, you’ve been a real jerk, whereas I have been, well, as allie put it, “just like you.”

Ej: [Chuckles]

Johnny: It’s not a compliment.

Ej: I didn’t think it was. Are you and allie not getting along?

Johnny: [Laughs] That would be an understatement, but no.

Chloe: Philip, what the hell are you doing here?

Brady: Trying to make an ass out of himself.

Philip: You really expected me to believe engine trouble in the middle of nowhere?

Brady: I don’t give a damn what you believe or what you don’t believe, philip.

Philip: I knew he was pulling a fast one. I was just trying to get here before it was too late.

Brady: Oh, my gosh, this is adorable, chloe. I think he’s here to defend your virtue.

Philip: No. I’m here to make you pay for whatever happened here tonight. It’s laundry truths, with cat and nat.

Brady: What happened here tonight was I tried unsuccessfully to get some sleep.

Philip: Uh-huh? You were distracted by being in the same bed with chloe.

Chloe: Because there was only one room left here, and I can’t let brady sleep in a chair with his bad back.

Brady: Yeah, acupuncture, yoga, pilates, I’ve tried it all; nothing works.

Chloe: He promised to keep his hands to himself.

Philip: Then why didn’t he? You two were like a pair of spoons.

Chloe: We were not.

Brady: Eh, to be fair, you were snuggled up next to me when he walked–

Chloe: Maybe in my sleep.

[Sighs]

Philip: At least I got here in time.

Chloe: Damn it, philip. There’s nothing going on here. But instead of trusting me, you fly here in a jealous rage?

Philip: It’s not you I don’t trust; it’s him!

Paulina: Allie’s last name is horton, and you’re saying johnny dimera is her twin? With a different last name?

Chanel: They have different fathers.

Paulina: You said they were twins.

Chanel: With different fathers; it can happen.

Paulina: Well, if anything can happen, it does in salem. So how did you find all this out?

Chanel: Well, tripp thought that the four of us should do a double date, so I said, “great,” because, you know, I wanted johnny to meet allie. And that’s when I find out they were twins.

Paulina: Okay, well, then they’re twins. What’s the problem?

Chanel: Well, remember when you told johnny I had kissed a girl?

Paulina: Mm-hmm, that didn’t seem to bother him.

Chanel: No, but then he brought it up with allie and tripp.

Paulina: Yeah, but they already knew, right? So you’re into johnny. Allie’s into trip. What does it matter?

Chanel: It matters to allie. Johnny and I were back at his place, and allie came barging in, and she went off on johnny.

Paulina: About what?

Chanel: She was saying that he’s nothing but a player, and that I needed to run in the other direction.

Ej: Why would allie have a problem with you dating one of her friends?

Johnny: She said it’s because I’m a player, and she doesn’t want me to hurt chanel.

Ej: I know this is just a first impression, but chanel struck me as a young woman who could hold her own. Why would allie think that she needed her protection?

Johnny: I guess ’cause she’s jealous of us.

Ej: Why would she be jealous of her brother dating her best friend?

Johnny: [Sighs] I don’t know. Maybe because her and chanel had a thing.

Ej: A thing?

Johnny: Yeah, I mean, nothing serious. They definitely kissed, but, you know.

Ej: Are you telling me your sister’s gay?

Nicole: So you had no idea johnny was dating chanel?

Allie: No. And johnny was dating chanel the way a jackal dates a gazelle.

Nicole: Ouch, you think that way about your brother, huh?

Allie: I’ve seen him in action, nicole. All he cares about is the chase. He’s no saint, and chanel deserved to know that, so when tripp told me that johnny and chanel almost slept together, I had to go over and warn her.

Nicole: How did that go over?

Allie: Not great. Johnny got really defensive, furious that I’d ruined their romantic evening, but chanel left, so that was good.

Nicole: She just left?

Allie: Yeah, to let johnny and me have it out or whatever.

Nicole: And how did johnny feel about that?

Allie: He had the nerve to call me jealous, like, about chanel, I mean as if my feelings for her go beyond friendship, which is totally ridiculous.

Nicole: Are you sure?

Rafe: You saw nicole in my arms?

Ava: Look, after I stormed out of here this morning, I… I ran into steve, and it was a good thing because… he was really nice to me. He was helpful, surprisingly so.

Rafe: Yeah, that is surprising.

Ava: He reminded me that, um… when I care deeply for someone, that I can become paranoid and obsessed. He told me I should not do that with you.

Rafe: Didn’t see that coming.

Ava: Neither did I. But I thought about what he said. And I came back here to apologize to you. That’s when I saw you and nicole.

Rafe: [Sighs] Right.

Ava: I was upset, and I walked and walked, and I tried to clear my head, and… talked to tripp.

Rafe: About us?

Ava: No. But the entire time that I was there, I couldn’t stop thinking about us and seeing you with nicole so I decided to come home and pack up my bags. So… you can, um… you can finally be with nicole. Bye, rafe.

Rafe: Ava, ava, please–

[Mutters] You’ve got it all wrong.

[Chuckles] You got it all wrong. I was saying goodbye to nicole.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Ava: Goodbye? What do–what do you mean?

Rafe: I told nicole that you and I had a fight about her, and she saw your point of view, and she said that she had been leaning on me too much ever since she lost eric, and that… that wasn’t fair to you.

Ava: She said that?

Rafe: Mm-hmm, and she said that she felt bad about causing the fight between us and she said that, you know, her and I should stay apart so that you and me– so we could, you know, get back on track.

Ava: Wow. That’s very nice of her. It’s not entirely up to her, is it?

Rafe: No.

Ava: What do you want, rafe? Or should I say who do you want? Nicole or me?

Allie: Why would I be jealous of johnny and chanel? I’m with tripp now.

Nicole: I know. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be jealous. You and chanel are close. You shared a lot.

Allie: Yeah, but–

Nicole: Honey, I’m not trying to put you on the spot. I’m just trying to tell you that I understand. I felt the same way when ava told me she was dating rafe.

Allie: Really?

Nicole: Yeah, oh, yeah, and I was really classy about it too. You know, I badmouthed her to rafe, talked about how she was a mafia princess. Not my finest moment. But then I found myself getting all possessive about rafe, and I was… I was jealous of ava being happy.

Allie: [Sighs] You think that’s why I trashed johnny?

Nicole: I don’t know, but I do know that I had to be honest with myself and about how I really felt about rafe.

Allie: I bet he was more than a friend.

Nicole: Listen, you know, I’ve been a mess since I lost eric, and I realized that I– I couldn’t make my stuff an issue for ava and rafe, so I just made the decision to step away from the situation. Look, I’m sorry. I don’t mean to make this about myself, but my point is, you need to be honest about why it bothers you so much that your brother is dating your best friend.

Johnny: No, allie’s not gay. She’s dating tripp.

Ej: Okay, and chanel?

Johnny: No, chanel is not gay either.

Ej: But you said that allie and chanel kissed.

Johnny: Yeah, yeah, they did a couple times.

Ej: So they were just experimenting.

Johnny: I guess. Uh, I mean, allie made it clear to chanel that she just wants to be friends, so…

Ej: Then she shouldn’t have a problem with you seeing chanel.

Johnny: No, no, she shouldn’t, but she does. She’s jealous whether she wants to admit it or not, and that is why she came over here tonight to deliberately make me look bad, try to tell chanel that I’m a player, scare her off.

Ej: [Sighs] Well, given the fact that she’s not here, looks like it worked.

Chanel: So allie told me that johnny’s a total player. All he’s interested in is getting a girl in bed, and then it’s all, “been nice knowing you.”

Paulina: I didn’t get vibe when I met him.

Chanel: Please, you talked to him for all of five minutes. Allie’s known him for her whole life.

Paulina: But I’ve got a sixth sense about people, and I would’ve warned you if I thought that boy was trouble.

Chanel: I know, but I can’t just ignore what allie said. She’s his twin sister.

Paulina: Well, I’d like to think that maybe she’s just looking out for you, or… you know, don’t forget, two of you, you know, you had a thing.

Chanel: Meaning?

Paulina: Meaning is she warning you to stay away from johnny to protect you, or maybe she just wants you for herself.

Philip: I warned you if you touched her, I would kill you.

[Chloe sighs]

Brady: Go ahead and try.

Chloe: Stop it, both of you! Seriously, just stop it! You, this is not funny. And you, you are so far out of line, I could kill you myself. Brady, can you please give us a moment alone?

Brady: Sure. Who needs sleep anyway?

Philip: Chloe, listen–

Chloe: No, no, you listen to me. You’ve crossed a line. Now, you may tell yourself that you’re trying to protect me, but in reality, you are demeaning me. Now, I’m not gonna let your stupid jealousy dictate how I live my life, and if you can’t get past that, then we are through. You got it? To be a thriver

Philip: I got it.

Chloe: Philip, I made a commitment to you, but you got on a plane in the middle of the night and flew to the middle of nowhere because you don’t trust that i can keep that commitment.

Philip: I don’t trust brady.

Chloe: Well, I do. Deal with it.

Philip: [Sighs] Chloe… it’s like brady, he knows how to punch all my buttons. He makes me crazy. I do stupid things sometimes. And I realize now that it makes you think that I don’t trust you, but I do, and I swear… I’ll get over it. I’ve learned my lesson. Now, let’s get out of this god forsaken place.

Chloe: And go where?

Philip: I have a working jet. I’ll take you to new york. Titan has a corporate suite.

Chloe: What about brady?

Philip: He can stay here until his plane gets repaired, meet you in new york tomorrow.

Chloe: Uh, brady and i traveled together on a business trip. I’m not leaving him.

Philip: Okay. He can come with us.

Chloe: No. You can go home, and brady and I will stay here.

Philip: You want me to leave you alone in the same bed with brady?

Chloe: Yeah. Because you trust me, right?

Rafe: What I want is for us to be honest with each other. And I realized that… I think that things between me and nicole got a little more intense than I thought, and… you know, we’re really close, and she was going through hell, and I think that… there was a time when I thought about her maybe as more than a friend. But I don’t think that it would eric not thought that god needed him on the other side of the world and left nicole for a year. I… I don’T. But I do understand how that upset you.

Ava: It’s in your dna to take care of the damsel in distress.

Rafe: Yeah, well, she’s a friend and… she’s unhappy. I was just trying to help her.

Ava: But you ended up falling for her.

Rafe: Uh, okay, okay, you know what? Okay. So maybe I had some thoughts that, um, a friend shouldn’t have for another friend, you know?

Ava: Yeah, I do. I do.

Rafe: Okay. But I never acted on them. Can you honestly standing there look into my eyes and tell me for, as long as we’re going out, however long that that is, that you would never be attracted to another man? And if you were, would you just give up on everything and throw everything away, not try and work things out?

Ava: [Sighs]

Rafe: Yeah. So listen, like I said, nicole, she felt really bad about everything that happened, and we decided that we’re gonna stay apart from each other so you and I can… so we can work things out. Unless, of course, you don’t want that.

Allie: I really thought I was protecting chanel.

Nicole: [Chuckles] You know, she doesn’t really seem like the kind of girl who needs a lot of protecting.

Allie: Yeah, you’re right. I guess I was just telling myself that. God, maybe I was jealous.

Nicole: It happens.

Allie: [Sighs] I feel like a fool. Ugh, and what is tripp gonna think? I ditched him here to go stop chanel from sleeping with johnny.

Nicole: You and tripp have been through worse things.

Allie: And chanel. She was great when I chose tripp over her. How am I gonna fix all of this?

Chanel: You think allie’s jealous of her own brother?

Paulina: I think she’s still into you. You’re fabulous, I know.

Chanel: It’s true.

Paulina: [Chuckles]

Chanel: But she had her chance with me, and she didn’t take it. She said she just wanted to be friends.

Paulina: Friends don’t tell friends who they can and cannot see.

Chanel: I know, but… I’ve had boyfriends as long as I can remember, but I’ve never had a friend like allie. Maybe I should stop seeing johnny.

Johnny: The thing is the way I would hear allie talk about chanel and chanel talk about allie before I knew who they were talking about, sounded like they’re really tight.

Ej: Apparently.

Johnny: No, I mean, like, they’re friends. Chanel trusts allie, so I think she’s gonna believe what allie said.

Ej: Prove her wrong.

Johnny: How? I mean, saying “I’m not a player” is exactly what a player would do.

Ej: Don’t talk about it, but see chanel as often as you can without coming close to making a move on her. Talk more about her than you, ask her questions about her business, what she wants to do next. Make her see that you don’t just wanna get her into bed.

Johnny: But what if she doesn’t want to see me at all.

Ej: Well, I think she’ll want to form her own opinion of you without being swayed by allie even if they are close. But you should probably go slowly with this to begin with. Give her a little breathing space.

Johnny: I can’t believe I’m talking about this with my dad.

Ej: There once was a time when we would talk about everything. I miss that.

Johnny: Yeah, me too.

Ej: Maybe that’s why to come work at dimera. Maybe if we worked together, we can have that back again.

Johnny: [Chuckles] Yeah.

Ej: What’s funny?

Johnny: I’m just trying to figure out which one of us is the player here. Advil dual action fights pain 2 ways.

Ej: What’s that supposed to mean?

Johnny: That all of your parental concern tonight was just a ploy in order to reel me in and get me to do what you want me to do.

Ej: I was not trying to reel you in. I was trying to talk to you.

Johnny: To get what you wanted.

Ej: Yes, yes, to get what I wanted. I want you to know what it really means to be a dimera. It’s not money. It’s not power. It’s family working together. It’s our connection to him.

Johnny: I’m sorry. I just don’t really think I’m the company kind of guy. I’m a filmmaker.

Ej: No, you’re not. You’re a rich kid playing with his phone. Masking movies is a pipe dream. Do you really think chanel is going to fall for a guy who has a dream and can’t make it happen?

Paulina: You want to walk away from a boy that you really like because that’s what allie would want you to do?

Chanel: I’m trying to do the right thing.

Paulina: When I met abe, I probably should have walked away from him too because of his past with tammy, but we both felt that we had something.

Chanel: You also felt he had power with the zoning board.

Paulina: Yes, you’re right. I almost screwed that up, but abey forgave me because we do have something real, and you and johnny, you can have something special too.

Chanel: Yeah, but what if it ends my friendship with allie?

Paulina: Well, if she’s really your friend, that won’t happen. You have a right to be happy, and you don’t need anyone’s permission for that. As long as you don’t step on others, never be afraid to go after what you want.

Nicole: You and tripp are gonna work this out.

Allie: But what about johnny and chanel? I mean, I don’t know how I’m gonna face either of them.

Nicole: Allie, you had a bad night. You messed up. So have they. But you have been a good friend and a great sister, and there’s no way they’re gonna wanna lose you any more than you wanna lose them.

Ava: [Sighs] Um…

[Sighs] I want to be with you… more than anything. Not if you want to be with nicole.

Rafe: Right, uh… honey, one day, I’d like to be friends with nicole again unless, of course, it makes you uncomfortable.

Ava: Rafe, I am not trying to control you. Your feelings are your feelings.

Rafe: I know. Um… that’s not–I was honest with you about nicole, and… now I want to be honest with you about you. You… you are the woman that I want to be with. Okay? I do, you know? Hopefully, we can get past what happened. Yeah?

Ava: [Chuckles]

Rafe: You think you can do that? Hm?

Philip: I do trust you.

Chloe: Then act like you do.

[Knocking at door]

Brady: Sorry, the 15-year-old night manager informed me that waiting in the lobby, as I was, is loitering, and she was gonna call the cops, so…

Chloe: That’s okay. Philip was just leaving.

Brady: Oh, that’s a shame ’cause I hear they got a hell of an omelet station at the breakfast buffet tomorrow.

Philip: I hope you have a productive meeting tomorrow. I can’t wait for you to come home.

Brady: Well… you wanna try this again?

Chloe: [Sighs]

[Tender music]

Ava: I do want to be with you.

Rafe: Okay. Okay, then you… I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.

Ava: [Chuckles] You know, it’s just that, um… I’ve never felt with any other man the way that I feel with you. And so when I knew that you wanted her, it just… it just hurt.

[Chuckles]

Rafe: Yeah. Do you know what? We can make this work. I think we can, and… every couple has its share of ups and downs, right? I mean, they have since the beginning of time. It’s just…how you deal with the downs that matters. Right?

Ava: Yeah, well, I deal with the downs by screaming and threatening to move out.

Rafe: Yeah.

[Chuckles]

Ava: [Chuckles] Can you deal with that?

Rafe: Maybe, like, half the time.

Ava: [Chuckles] Rafe…

Rafe: Yeah?

Ava: Can you take my bag up for me? I need to unpack.

Rafe: I thought you’d never ask.

Nicole: Okay, listen, you and I should get some sleep.

Allie: Yeah. Thank you for listening. And for everything you’ve done for me and henry.

Nicole: It’s my pleasure. Look, honey, you are gonna get through this. I know it. You sleep tight.

Allie: Okay.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Oh, I know I’ve been tough on you, but never doubt how much I love you.

Chanel: I love you too, mama.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Oh, mm, mm.

Johnny: No, you’re wrong ’cause if there is anybody who understands what it’s like to have a dream, it’s chanel. She wanted to start her own bakery, and she didn’t let anyone or anything get in her way. So I’m gonna make my movie, and when my film opens, chanel’s gonna be right there with me.

Ej: Mm. Well, when she wants nothing to do with you, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

[Dramatic music]

Brady: What are you doing?

Chloe: Isn’t it obvious? I’m making a bed on the floor. My back is fine.

[ Dramatic music ]

[ Seagulls cawing ]

Steffy: Could you come to the house? I need to see you.

[ Fan whirling ]

[ Phone dinging ]

Paris: Hey.

Finn: Hey. Off to work?

Paris: Yeah. You?

Finn: No, um, day off. Which is good.

Paris: Rough night.

Finn: Yeah. The worst. I just… I hate being away from steffy, and it does not help there’s no air conditioning in here.

Paris: I mean, she’s up. You should go see her.

Finn: I’m on my way. She wants to talk before we go the courthouse. We have an appointment to file our marriage certificates. I’m hoping that’ll get us back on track.

Paris: Yeah, me, too.

Finn: Thanks.

Paris: I know you guys are going to work through this. She loves you, how could she not?

Quinn: I’ll miss you, I feel like I’m leaving a part of me behind. Carter, I love you.

Carter: I love you too.

Quinn: Carter.

Carter: Quinn. You’re back at work.

Quinn: Yeah. Don’t let me interrupt yours.

Carter: Wait, wait. Quinn, uh. Don’t go. I was just thinking about you. How was your homecoming with eric? Bet it was quite the celebration.

Quinn: Eric, erectile dysfunction is nothing to be ashamed of.

Quinn: Eric and I had a lovely evening.

Carter: Did you do anything special?

Quinn: We just talked.

Carter: Talking is good place to start.

Quinn: It was actually pretty emotional. We… we hadn’t been that open and honest with each other in a very long time.

Wyatt: Hey. Thought I heard you in here. With carter?

Quinn: Hi, sweetie.

Carter: Your mom was just telling me about her reunion with eric.

Wyatt: Oh, yeah. Exciting news.

Carter: Very.

Wyatt: I got your text. I wanted to congratulate you in person, but uh, do I have to remind you not to screw this up?

Zende: This looks much better. What do you think of these changes, charlene, how do they feel?

Charlene: I thought it was perfect before, but you’re the designer.

Paris: Yeah. One of the best in the building.

Zende: Workin’ on it.

Paris: Don’t let me slow you down.

Zende: No, I think we’re done for now. Thank you.

Paris: Wow, very good. You know, I think charlene wanted to spend a little bit more time with you.

Zende: The only woman I want to spend any time with is standing in front of me.

[ Paris sighing ] Everything all right?

Paris: I don’t know… you’re steffy’s cousin, so, it’s not like she’s going to keep this from family.

Zende: Something’s going on with steffy?

Paris: I’m worried about her relationship with finn.

Finn: The kids still asleep?

Steffy: Yeah. There’s coffee.

Finn: Thanks. I, I need it.

Steffy: I didn’t sleep much either. It was weird not having you in bed with me.

Finn: Yeah, it was. It was awful. Look, steffy, I am so sorry that I allowed sheila to hold our son. It was horrible error in judgment. I broke my promise to you. I betrayed your trust. Look, I’m not making excuses. But I swear for one, one stupid moment, I really did think that I was protecting our family. But I was wrong. And I will do anything I can to make it up to you. (Drill sergeant) what a pleasant morning. It’s warm, but not too warm.

Wyatt: So you guys were just talking about eric?

Quinn: Well, I guess our reunion is a pretty big deal around here.

Carter: I was congratulating your mom, wyatt. She and eric are happy again and I am happy for them.

Wyatt: Yeah, me too.

Quinn: You know what would make me happy? A wedding. Yes, I mean, not mine, of course, I’m talking about yours.

Wyatt: No.

Quinn: You and flo have been engaged far too long.

Wyatt: No. No, no, no. Do not start hounding flo about our wedding day.

Quinn: No, see I don’t see it as hounding, I see it more like helping.

Wyatt: You know what? You know where flo is? Because I have to take her for lunch.

Quinn: No, I don’t, but wherever you take her, see if they have a catering menu.

Wyatt: It’s good to see you acting like yourself again, mom.

Quinn: Thank you, honey.

Wyatt: Right, well, congratulations again. I will see you later, all right?

Quinn: Okay.

Wyatt: Carter.

Carter: Wyatt. Well, he seems genuinely pleased for you and eric.

Quinn: Yeah, yeah, he does. But not everybody feels that way. Brooke and ridge for instance, they think that our reconciliation is a terrible mistake. What about you? I heard what you said to wyatt, how do you really feel about me and eric being back together?

Zende: Steffy must have lost her mind when she walked in and saw sheila holding her baby.

Paris: Yeah, finn feels awful about it.

Zende: Did sheila actually leave?

Paris: I don’t know.

Zende: So she’s still here? No wonder you’re worried.

Paris: I’m concerned about that, but also how it’s impacting their marriage, you know? Finn spent the night in the guest house.

Zende: Oh wow.

Paris: I just, I can’t believe steffy threw him out of the house for that, I mean, it seems a little extreme. And how are they going to deal with this if she can’t even look at him?

Steffy: Finn, I love you. But I’m trying to understand how you could put our son into the hands of the monster who shot my mother and terrorized my family after I told you to stay away from her.

Finn: I can’t defend that. I can’t defend it. All I can say is that nothing like that will ever happen again. Look, I love you, steffy. I love our son and kelly and I love our life together. I’m not going to let anyone, or anything ever come between us. Look, I just, I just need you to believe me that I won’t let you down again. We’re supposed to go to the courthouse today and make our marriage official. It’s the perfect reset. Our marriage can begin today. By signing those papers it can be more than just a formality. It can be a renewal of our commitment and our faith in each other. We need this, steffy, we need this for us and our future together. There are times, I wonder…

Carter: I meant what I said to wyatt.

Quinn: So did I.

Carter: Doesn’t mean I don’t miss you. Look, I know how important your marriage is and I’m glad you and eric were able to put it back together.

Quinn: Things aren’t exactly been the same.

Carter: You said you guys were being more honest with each other.

Quinn: You think you know what’s going on with someone, how they are thinking, and they’re feeling, and then you find out that you’ve got it all wrong.

Carter: I’m sure it’s been difficult for eric. Being separated from you. I’m sure he couldn’t wait to get you in his arms, and be close to you. Yeah, it must have been really fulfilling being back home with him.

Zende: Man, you are really invested in this.

Paris: I mean, finn has stood by steffy through so much.

Zende: They probably just need some space, look at us. We decided to take a step back, slow things down a little bit, and I would say, we’re in a better place because of it.

Paris: We are.

Zende: Hey, just the other day you were telling me how much in love they are. I am sure they will patch things up.

Paris: Yeah, and finn is ready to do that, if only steffy will give him a chance. I live with them, zende, I see them, I see how they are as a couple, with the kids. Finn is so good for steffy you know? And, and he’s caring and devoted, and you know he actually cares about her happiness. She has to see that. And she has to forgive him so that they can move on.

Steffy: I never questioned your love for me or mine for you. You changed my life, and I’m so grateful for that. From the moment I met you, I knew I could trust you. I felt safe with you. You never let me down… until now.

Finn: Look, I wasn’t trying to defy you or diminish any of your fears.

Steffy: No, and I want you to know that I do trust you, and I know that you would never lie to me.

Finn: Never.

Steffy: Well, I can’t hide this from you. On our wedding day, when we said our vows, I vowed to be there for you, like you are for me. And when there is a challenge, we don’t avoid it. We step up and we face it.

Finn: We can, we can do that together.

Steffy: Yeah, um. I know we’re supposed to file our marriage certificate today. But finn, I… I can’T. I can’t do it knowing sheila is out there. She was at our house. She held our child. I can’t go to the courthouse with you.

Finn: You don’t want to leave the kids with amelia? You’re scared sheila is gonna show up?

Steffy: I can’t finalize our marriage right now, finn.

Finn: You said you believe me.

Steffy: I’m not trying to punish you. I just can’t get that image out of my mind.

Finn: Sheila, she was just holding him. She wasn’t hurting him. She wasn’t going to run off. I was right there. I wouldn’t have let her do anything to hurt hayes. You know that.

Steffy: Her being here, finn, wasn’t an accident. She knew what she was doing. At the wedding reception, she told me she wanted to see our son. I said that was never going to happen. But she found a way.

Finn: You’re afraid she could do it again, but I’m telling you–

Steffy: You do not know what’s she’s capable of! You don’T. If you did, you wouldn’t have her anywhere near our child! Now she feels as though she made inroads with you–

Finn: She hasn’t!

Steffy: She’s going to keep trying, trust me. I know this. She’s going to keep trying and trying and manipulate her way back into our lives, I can’T. I can’t live with that! I can’t!

Finn: So, what are you saying?

Steffy: I can’t think about anything else, until I can stop thinking about sheila.

Finn: But if we don’t file the papers, we aren’t officially married.

Steffy: It’s not you. It’s her. I can’t do this. I don’t want sheila connected to this. To us. I’m not saying it’s not going to happen. But I can’t finalize our marriage today.

Quinn: I’m still trying to process everything.

Carter: Things are good, though, right? Being back home.

Quinn: Yeah.

Carter: But it’s not the same.

Quinn: No. Well… I think eric and I both changed. We had experiences while we were apart. We, we… we learned things about ourselves and… we’re just trying to be open and honest about all of it.

Carter: All of it? You didn’t tell him about…

[ Pen clattering ]

Quinn: No. I didn’T.

Carter: And there’s no reason to. ‘Cause that’s in the past. And I’m glad that you’re back in the office and home with eric, but… I’ll miss what we had. I miss holding you, I miss lying in bed together. Making love to you. Look, I’m sorry if I’m making you feel uncomfortable. And I promise that I won’t bring it up every time we’re alone. But you asked how I really felt. And you’re committed to eric.

Paris: Hey, hey, checking on you. Can I come in?

Finn: Uh, sure.

Paris: Did you just go for a run?

Finn: Yeah, it’s probably not the best way to cool off.

Paris: Well, I thought I would see steffy after the courthouse. And uh… how’d it, how’d it go? Finn: I don’t know. It didn’T. I can’t believe it.

Paris: Oh. Uh, what happened?

Finn: Steffy canceled the appointment. She can’t finalize our marriage while sheila’s still out there.

Paris: I mean, you’re already married. You just gotta sign a few papers.

Finn: She can’t get past what happened with sheila and hayes.

Paris: Well, steffy can’t blame you.

Finn: I promised to protect her. I gave her my word that I would protect her and our family. From the moment we met, I’ve only had one goal. It’s to make this incredible woman feel safe and secure. And that is not how she is feeling right now. Not about sheila and… not about us.

Paris: I’m so sorry.

Devon: Then mariah said she’s ready to push, and we knew the baby was coming. So thank god we got nate on the phone to coach us through everything. And then, before we knew it, we were holding this perfect little baby boy.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] Wow.

Devon: I told you this last night, though, and this morning, too.

Amanda: Yeah, I know, and I’m gonna keep asking you to tell me all about it because you are a hero.

Devon: Mm.

Amanda: Yeah. And now that mariah’s had the baby, you’re also —

Devon: No, don’t do that. Don’t say that. It’s not right. Abby is the baby’s mother and chance is the baby’s one and only father.

Mariah: No. No, no. Let me out.

[ Breathing heavily ] Bowie! Where — where’s the baby?

Abby: It’s okay, you’re just having a nightmare.

Mariah: Where is the baby?

Nick: So it was stitch the whole time. I cannot believe that.

Victor: [ Exhales sharply ] I can’t wrap my head around it, you know? Nice guy, always respected him. Something must have snapped in him.

Nick: Poor mariah.

Victor: And poor abby. She’s exhausted. Saw her last night, whew. She looked utterly just devastated. Thank god this is all put behind her now and she can raise her boy, you know?

[ Cellphone rings ] Excuse me. I need to get this. One sec.

Billy: Well, I guess that congratulations are in order to the new uncle.

Nick: And to you, billy, and to the rest of the abbott family. Just glad that it worked out for everyone.

Billy: Yeah. Jack filled me in. He talked to abby. Sounded like a pretty scary situation. We’re just glad mariah and the baby are okay.

Nick: Stitch better hope i never get my hands on him.

Billy: Yeah, it’s good you’re protective of abby. But right now it’s your other sister that needs help.

Lily: Hello. Uh, billy isn’t here.

Victoria: Oh, well, that’s okay. I have something that I want to ask you.

Lily: Sure, go ahead.

Victoria: Some of ashland’s colleagues from back in the day have been receiving some probing questions from reporters about the beginning of his career. It’s not really hard to guess who those reporters are working for.

Lily: Well, it can’t be surprising to you or ashland that there are news outlets like chanccomm that are interested in his history.

Victoria: Oh, yes, I get it. I mean, he is a public figure, even if there is no story there. But what’s surprising is you.

Lily: Sorry, me?

Victoria: You’ve been so strong and independent, so how can you now stand by and watch while billy uses your company for his own agenda?

Nate: Whoa, whoa. Are you okay? Hey, hey, hey, hey. Are you okay?

Ashland: [ Exhales ] Just — just give me a second.

Nate: Are you sure? Hey, hey, are you really okay?

Ashland: Yeah.

Nate: Look, look, I just want to help. Let — let me get you out of here. How do you think they make starburst taste so juicy?

Lily: Billy and I run chanccomm as a partnership, much like we do in our personal lives, so, no, we don’t see eye-to-eye on everything, but i definitely do not let him impose his personal agenda on business decisions. But if there’s news, we go after it.

Victoria: I don’t see the news here. Ashland’s divorce — fair game. His illness — well, now that he’s made it public, fine. But now he has to worry about every disgruntled business associate with an axe to grind from the last 20 years. Why would you drag a sick and dying man through the mud? I understand billy’s motive. I’m sure he’s framing it that he needs to investigate ashland because he’s worried about his children, but it’s really about me, and we both know that.

Lily: I mean, clearly there’s no merit to your arguments, so, what, are you making this personal to get under my skin? ‘Cause a few minutes ago, you said that I was strong and independent, so which one is it?

Victoria: If you are gonna rationalize doing this, then you really have changed, lily, and not necessarily for the better.

Elena: Hey. Am I early? I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Victoria: Oh, no, you’re not. It’s quite alright. I think I’ve made my point. Have a good day.

Elena: Is everything okay?

Lily: Oh, yeah, it’s fine. Um, thank you for coming by.

Elena: Yeah, I was curious to know what you wanted to talk about.

Lily: Well, I mean, I think it’s good news, so I’m really hoping that you’ll feel the same.

Nick: Billy, we’ve gone over this. I really think you need to stay out of victoria and ashland’s personal life.

Billy: Unless there was good reason.

Nick: Do you have good reason?

Billy: [ Sighs ] When he was first starting out, ashland, he was mentored by an older woman. When she suddenly passed away, he acquired the two news stations that her deceased husband left behind.

Nick: And this is important why?

Billy: Because ashland didn’t come from money. He was barely 20 years old. Then out of the blue, he’s got enough money to acquire two major entities? Come on, nick, there’s a story there.

Nick: Yeah, I’m not so sure.

Billy: Well, you don’t seem surprised by this.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Billy: Did you know this information already? Are you and your dad running a background check on ashland already?

Nick: Listen, we’ve already talked about this. I would need good reason to get involved in victoria’s personal life. So if you come up with one, let me know.

Billy: I’ll do that.

Nick: And if I were you, I’d get out of my dad’s chair.

Abby: Mariah, it’s okay, it’s okay. You were just having a nightmare.

Mariah: No, no, he’s not here. We have to find him. Where is he?

Abby: He’s fine. He’s in the nursery. He’s sleeping, and I can call a nurse. They can take you down to see him if you want.

Mariah: And you’re sure he’s safe?

Abby: Yeah. The nurses are watching over him. He’s a perfect angel.

Mariah: Okay. Okay, as long as he’s, um — he’s safe and he’s protected.

Abby: I’m so sorry that you’re having these nightmares.

Mariah: It’s fine, it’s just…being locked in that room was the real nightmare. Just four bare walls and no windows. That stupid dumbwaiter that stitch used to give me food and water, it’s like being in solitary confinement. I was all alone. Except for bowie. It was just the two of us. We were determined to get through it any way we could. I just don’t understand why.

Abby: It was all my fault. Darrell’s family uses gain flings now so their laundry

Mariah: I don’t understand. It can’t be your fault. You’re the one who rescued us.

Abby: I know, but I’m also the one who opened the door to ben.

Mariah: You had no reason to suspect him.

Abby: But I know him. I mean, I should’ve sensed that something was wrong. But I was just — I was so blinded. I was worried about you. I felt lost without chance, and then, god, here comes ben and he says all the right things, and I — I just should’ve known that those things came with an agenda.

Mariah: To be the hero because that’s the way that he wanted you to see him. I’m sorry, I still don’t understand.

Abby: His life had — had hit a low point. And he felt like this was his way out of the ditch, his way to get his life back on track and make me feel gratitude towards him.

Mariah: But that doesn’t mean that any of this is your fault. Stitch is the one who did this. He is the only one to blame. What he did was despicable, abby, and not just to me. It’s what he did to you and tessa and my mom and devon and everyone who loves this baby.

Amanda: I hear what you’re saying, and, yeah, you’re right, the baby is abby and chance’s, but it can’t be that cut and dry. Can it?

Devon: What do you mean?

Amanda: Devon, you have a biological connection to the baby. You helped deliver him, and I’ve listened to you closely as you’ve described that story. You feel something for him.

Devon: Of course. From the first moment I held him in my arms, I felt a connection to him. It was amazing, too. I tried to describe it to nate just yesterday, and I couldn’T. It’s just some things you can’t find the words for.

Amanda: You’re thinking about him right now, aren’t you?

Devon: I-I don’t stop thinking about him, really. I’ve never felt this before. It’s not about me, though. This is — you know, I’m just happy that this nightmare is over and that mariah is safe and that abby has her child.

Amanda: Yeah, thanks to you. Yeah, that was a risk, accusing somebody that abby trusted. It could’ve backfired, but you knew that something was wrong.

Devon: Why do you keep trying to give me all the credit for what happened?

Amanda: Because you deserve it.

Devon: I don’T. Just half of it, ’cause I had a lot of help.

Amanda: Yeah, well, you can be humble, but I am gonna be proud of you. Is that okay?

Devon: I guess so.

Amanda: Okay, good.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Amanda: Well, I have to go, but what are you up to today?

Devon: Oh, I’m just gonna go to the hospital and check on abby and mariah and the baby, of course.

Amanda: Yeah? Make sure you give that little baby a kiss from me.

Devon: You know I will.

Lily: So, nate and I talked about his fancy new job as chief of surgery.

Elena: I know, isn’t it amazing?

Lily: Yeah.

Elena: I am so proud of him.

Lily: Yeah, no, it’s great for him, but it’s bad for us because now he has to give up his role at askmdnow.

Elena: Oh. He didn’t tell me. I guess there is a lot on his plate.

Lily: Exactly, so I was wondering how full is your plate these days?

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Where is this going?

Elena: Well, when nate and i chatted, I think he knew that he was leaving us in a tight spot, so he suggested a replacement, which is you.

Elena: [ Chuckles ] Wow. I don’t know what to say.

Lily: You can say yes.

Ashland: That’s fine, doctor. I could’ve gotten myself home. It wasn’t as bad as it looked.

Nate: Well, I spent a lot of time in med school learning that when a guy’s struggling to stir sugar into his coffee, something’s wrong.

Ashland: I mean, maybe I just got a little dizzy stirring the coffee.

Nate: I could tell you were in rough shape.

Ashland: Uh, doc, I would appreciate your discretion on this.

Nate: Of course. Victoria is a friend of mine. I’m always happy to help out. Look, I don’t want to press you too hard, and maybe you’d prefer to speak to someone else about this. I’m cool with that. I can even give you a referral, if you like, but in the meantime, these vitamin supplements, they’re good for energy. I’ve seen help out other patients deal with fatigue while undergoing chemo. Now, it’s just two a day — one in the morning and one at night. I’ll leave them right there for you.

Ashland: Thank you, sir. That’s very kind, but I know you’re the new big-shot at the hospital. You’re chief of surgery, right?

Nate: That’s right.

Ashland: Well, so I would imagine you have more important things to do than tucking me in for a post-chemo nap.

Nate: Uh, not right now. I’m off duty. And I wanted to get you out of there. I know a man of your stature likes to project strength, and I’m sure you didn’t want anyone seeing you struggle like that.

Ashland: That’s very thoughtful of you. Thank you.

Nate: But you need to remember that chemotherapy doesn’t care about appearances or how tough you are because chemo can be tougher.

Ashland: Dr. Hastings, I’m beginning to realize that. Hi. So you’re the scientist here.

Lily: I mean, nate’s idea was so great, I wish I thought about it, ’cause I think that you’re perfect for this. You know, you have this natural empathy about you that I think people can sense. And combine with your knowledge and professionalism, I think you could slide into this role without any issues.

Elena: I think I just need a minute. I’ve been working so much at the hospital that I haven’t had time to think about anything else, and like I told you, nate didn’t tell me anything about this, so I had no idea why I was meeting you today. I’m sorry, you probably didn’t need to hear all that. You probably just want a simple yes or no.

Lily: No, no, no, look, just think about it, alright? And know that the job is yours if you want it.

Nate: Well, let me know if those are effective for you. I can send over some more.

Ashland: That was very considerate. And I learned a long time ago that sometimes people’s perceptions are just as important as what I say or what I do. It’s been the key to my success. You project invincibility, people start to perceive you that way and you are invincible. You become powerful. It’s funny how it all fades so fast.

Nate: I, uh, injured my hand last year. Still can’t operate. My whole world was wrapped around me being a surgeon, and suddenly I can’t perform surgery.

Ashland: And you were able to get past it?

Nate: Took a while, but i learned I had to be honest with myself about my limitations. I had to learn how to ask for help when it was needed. It’s not a sign of weakness.

Ashland: You sound like victoria.

Nate: [ Chuckles ] I’m no oncologist, but I’ve seen enough cases that each round of chemo you go through can be different. There’s nothing to be gained by pretending you’re dealing with it better than you are and there’s no shame in admitting that this sucks.

Ashland: You know, you’re asking me to unlearn decades of behavior. That’s a big change.

Nate: Well, your life has changed. You need to recognize that and be honest with yourself about it. Being stoic may only prolong your agony. And your doctors might be able to make it a little better if you’re open with them.

Ashland: Noted.

Nate: Same goes for victoria. I personally understand the instinct to want to hide the worst of your situation from her, but don’T. She’s an ally. Let her help you.

Ashland: You were right, doctor. This sucks.

Abby: I just checked in at the nurses’ station and told them that you were awake.

Mariah: Great. I’m sure they’ll be in to poke and prod me more.

Abby: Also, word has gotten out about the baby being born. I talked to my mom and nina and jill, and actually the rest of the town knows, too, and they are all very excited to see you and to meet the baby.

Mariah: Wow. Uh, well, I’m anxious to see everybody, too, after being alone for so long, but maybe not all at once.

Abby: Don’t worry, it won’t turn into a stampede. I’ll make sure of it. Is there anything else you need?

Mariah: I am actually very hungry.

Abby: Well, good, because the nurses are bringing you a meal.

Mariah: Thank you. I will be happy to eat something different after all of those protein bars. I’ve had enough of those for my lifetime.

Abby: Those protein bars may have saved your life.

Mariah: I mean, I know they’re full of vitamins, but i wouldn’t go that far.

Abby: I’m not talking about the nutritional value. Those bars, it’s what twigged devon off. Stitch was telling this story about seeing a man at a convenience store buying a bunch of those bars, and, well, it just didn’t sit right with devon. Made him start asking questions.

Mariah: So, wait a second, were you guys worried when i first disappeared?

Abby: We didn’t know you were missing for a long time.

Mariah: How is that possible? I was gone for weeks. Where did you think I went?

Abby: When stitch took you, he took your phone and he started sending us text messages. He said that, well, you needed some time by yourself after a work trip for jabot.

Mariah: But I didn’t even have a business trip scheduled.

Abby: I know. Well, he texted my uncle jack, too, to cover for that.

Mariah: Abby, I would never leave town without saying goodbye to tessa.

Abby: I know, and I know how ridiculous it sounds right now. I was just trying to be considerate of your feelings. We all were. But tessa, she felt like something was off. She was the first one to feel that way.

Mariah: I’ll never forget you bursting through that door to rescue me for the rest of my life. I thought I was gonna have to do it all solo. Bowie was coming and there was no stopping him.

Abby: I’m sorry, I just, um — I have to ask. Bowie?

Mariah: Uh, yeah, I — I needed something to call him. You know, it was just the two of us in there and we had many, many deep conversations, and after a while, “little man” and “kiddo,” it just wasn’t working, and, um, bowie seemed to fit. I promise I wasn’t — I wasn’t trying to name him or anything like that. I just needed something to call him.

Abby: I didn’t think that. No, I just — I was curious. But, yeah, it makes sense that you would have all of those conversations with him when you were locked up, feeling alone.

Mariah: You know, I talked to him a lot about being brave and staying strong, and the one most important truth is that his mom already loved him so much.

If you have postmenopausal

will continue.

Nate: Hey. I’m sorry. I was held up a little bit. I didn’t want to leave until i was sure it was okay to go.

Elena: No, I get it, you had a patient. And not to worry, because any follow-up questions I guess he could just contact you via askmdnow. Oh, wait, no, they can’t, because you quit and recommended me to take your place.

Nate: Oh, okay. So lily took my advice and made you an offer.

Elena: I can’t believe you didn’t say anything about this.

Nate: And ruin the surprise? No way. How many times does someone powerful call you into a room and offer you a dream job? I wanted you to have the full experience.

Elena: I was completely caught off guard and I did not know how to react.

Nate: I’m sure you were great. So when do you start?

Elena: I haven’t said yes. I need more time to think about it.

Nate: Okay, that’s reasonable, but I hope you accept. You’re perfect for it. That’s why I was okay to walk away. I knew my replacement would be better than I was at it.

Elena: Well, that is my main reservation. I’m not as sure as you are that I’m the right person for the job. Yes, I have the expertise, but other than that, the whole thing is foreign to me.

Nate: You’d be a natural. Okay, look, you can practice on me. I’ll be the patient and you can diagnose me.

Elena: [ Scoffs ] You’re ridiculous.

Nate: Come on. Just give it a shot.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Fine.

Nate: [ Clears throat ]

Elena: So, what seems to be the problem, mr. Patient?

Nate: I have a pain.

Elena: Can you describe it?

Nate: It’s heavy, uh, like dead weight. It’s hard to carry.

Elena: Huh, and where is this pain?

Nate: Right here.

Elena: Oh, so it’s in your heart.

Nate: That’s the thing. As soon as I walked in here and I saw you, it vanished, just

[Snaps fingers] Like it was magic. What’s your diagnosis?

Elena: My diagnosis, dr. Hastings, is that you are a charmer.

[ Laughs ]

Mariah: The baby is so cute when he’s sleeping.

Abby: It just fills my heart to see him laying there. Hi. Is something wrong?

Mariah: Is this about stitch?

Sharon: It’s okay, you’re alright, but, yes, this conversation is about stitch.

Rey: Yeah, I just got off the phone with the authorities in iowa. Turns out after stitch made his quick escape from here yesterday, he went straight there.

Abby: To get max?

Rey: More than that. He stole a doctor’s id from the facility where max is being treated. He took his son in the middle of the night. No one saw that max was missing until this morning’s rounds.

Abby: Where’d they go?

Rey: I don’t know. The police there are still trying to pin down how much of a head start they got. But they could’ve gone in any direction.

Mariah: So how is any of this good news?

Sharon: Well, it’s a sign that stitch realizes he’s done something terribly wrong, and now he’s fleeing genoa city.

Rey: Yeah, he’s on the run with his son, maybe looking for a fresh start somewhere.

Mariah: But he could come back.

Rey: There is an apb out for him. His description has been sent to hospitals and clinics throughout the midwest. If they show up for treatment or medication, they’ll be apprehended.

Mariah: But if he doesn’t? Is he just gonna get away with this?

Rey: No, no, no, no, no, the gcpd is not giving up. Far from it. I’m gonna keep investigating. Trust me.

Abby: Poor max. I mean, if ben had just gotten the help that he needed, if he had someone to lean on, maybe he wouldn’t have concocted this plan to get in my good graces.

[ Sighs ] My gosh. And now everything is just gonna be worse for the both of them.

Mariah: Why do you care what happens to stitch at all?

Abby: It’s just a terrible situation. Yes, I’m angry, but it makes me a little sad, too.

Mariah: Well, I’m not sad at all. And I have anger for all of us. So thank you, guys, for the update. Please keep them coming because I want him behind bars where he belongs.

Victor: There’s something else I meant to discuss with you. We’re still trying to find out how ashland locke was able to buy those tv stations after the woman that supposedly mentored him passed away.

Nick: Have you given any thought to what mom said, you know, that even if something sketchy happened in ashland’s past, it doesn’t necessarily say anything about who he is now?

Victor: Well, that doesn’t make me stop investigating further, you know? Victoria may be angry about that, but I think it’ll be worth it if we find something serious that she needs to know about.

Nick: Well, it is possible that victoria may never even have to know that you were even doing any digging.

Victor: What do you mean?

Nick: Turns out there’s someone else who’s on the exact same trail when it comes to these tv stations.

Victor: Oh. Let me guess, billy boy abbott. Right?

Lily: Well, elena was completely surprised. She’ll give us an answer soon, but I have a good feeling about it.

Billy: Okay, cool. Well, hopefully she says yes. And when she does, it feels like it would be an easy transition.

Lily: Yeah, that’s what i told her.

Billy: Okay. What else is going on?

Lily: Well, I spoke with the accounting team about our budget for the next quarter, set up a conference call with the ad sale guys. Oh, another thing.

Billy: Okay?

Lily: Your ex came by to tell me that I’m a sellout who lets you do whatever you want around here.

Tessa: Hi.

Mariah: Hey.

Tessa: Did you get a good night’s sleep?

Mariah: Yeah, I did, until the nightmares.

Tessa: What were they about?

Mariah: Oh, it’s nothing specific. It was just a general feeling of dread. You know, it was dark, I was lost. Hope these bad dreams aren’t gonna be a regular thing.

Tessa: Hey, I’m gonna do everything I can to get you past all this. You know that, right?

Mariah: Yeah.

Tessa: You are back. You are safe. And you are loved.

Mariah: What is that?

Abby: It is the application for the birth certificate. Oh, kind of makes me feel emotional.

Tessa: Yeah, paperwork makes me cry, too.

Abby: First things first, parents’ name — I can do that one. Abby newman abbott chancellor and then phillip chancellor iv. Baby’s name.

Tessa: Oh, did you have one picked out already?

Abby: Well, I was up all night. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t come down from all the excitement, and I came up with a name. Dominic phillip newman abbott chancellor.

Tessa: It’s nice.

Mariah: It’s great, yeah.

Abby: Oh, there’s a “d” in there for devon and an “m” for mariah.

Mariah: The third letter.

Abby: I wanted to make sure that you guys were an everyday part of my son’s life.

Mariah: Wow.

Abby: And then phillip as the middle for chance, of course.

Tessa: Well, I love it and I’m sure chance will approve, too.

Mariah: Yeah.

Abby: Well, I am gonna go home and finish this. I am exhausted. You can take it from here?

Tessa: Oh, yeah, I got this. I am gonna stay here until mariah begs me to leave.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: That is never gonna happen.

Abby: Oh! Just feels so official.

Mariah: Yeah, it does. Bye.

Mariah: Bye.

Tessa: Hey, you know, I am gonna ask one of the nurses if i can take you outside. You should see some sky or a tree. You’ve been locked inside a room for so long.

Mariah: You always know what I need. It was the only thing that kept me sane in there was thinking of you — you and bowie.

Tessa: Oh, bowie?

Mariah: Yeah, it’s the name that — that I called him, but abby just gave him a name. Actually, she gave him like five names or seven. I couldn’t really keep track.

[ Both laugh ] How abby is that? I’m gonna be the only person who knows him as bowie.

Tessa: And you can tell him someday. He’ll love it. It’ll be something that you two can connect on.

Mariah: [ Sniffles ]

Tessa: Hey. What is it?

Mariah: I just made him so many promises, you know? I promised to keep him safe and I —

Tessa: Hey, you did.

Mariah: I was with him morning, noon, and night. I had to protect him. I-I lived so he could get through this, and he was my reason for living, and now… tessa, I don’t know how to let go. I don’t know.

Devon: I was on my way to the hospital when you texted me.

Abby: Well, I have some news.

Devon: What’s the news?

Abby: I named the baby.

Devon: You did?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: What’s the name?

Abby: Dominic.

Devon: Dominic. Dominic — I like that.

Abby: You like it?

Devon: I like it a lot.

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Well, “d” for devon.

Devon: I noticed.

Abby: And there’s an “m” in there for mariah.

Devon: Aww.

Abby: I just — I wanted to pay tribute to the amazing contribution that you two made.

Devon: That’s — I’m beyond honored. And I know that she’s gonna feel the same way. That’s very special. Well, dominic is gonna be home where he belongs pretty soon.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: And you’re gonna start this brand-new journey of your life. It’s gonna last forever.

Abby: Mm!

Devon: [ Laughs ]

Tessa: It’s only been a few hours since you were found. It’s only natural to be feeling some residual anxiety or feel like you’re not safe. But you are. And so is dominic. He’s gonna have a great life because of you. And abby and chance are gonna make sure of it. And you’re gonna be a part of his life, too.

Mariah: Thank you. It’s like I said, you always know what I need.

Victor: Did you tell billy abbott that we have an investigation of our own going on?

Nick: No. But he jumped right to that conclusion. Knowing you were on the same track, I, you know, held back, tried to seem non-committal. Once he told me that information about ashland’s past, we’ll see how good my poker face was.

Victor: Well, I’m glad you did that. By the way, keep your distance from him while this all sorts itself out, alright? Everything we find out stays within our family.

Nick: Of course.

Victor: I don’t want some outsider picking up information and using it against us.

Nick: Yeah. Listen, for what it’s worth, i really don’t think billy’s doing this for leverage.

Victor: I don’t care why he’s doing it. In this case, we circle the wagons, we protect ourselves. That’s the newman creed.

Billy: I am sorry that you had to deal with victoria, and i wish I was here to deflect her anger.

Lily: No, it’s fine. I can handle her. I presented a united front and covered my own reservations about you investigating ashland, which I still have my doubts as to why you’re even doing this.

Billy: I know you do, but I’ve explained that I think it’s important to make sure —

Lily: No, I know, I know that you’re partly doing this because of johnny and katie and you’re worried about ashland’s influence on them, and that’s fair. I get it. I’m just worried that in your quest to be right about locked, you might be doing irreparable harm to your relationship with the mother of your children.

Victoria: Hi. I, um — I got you a smoothie. I’m not exactly sure how it tastes, but it’s green so that must mean that it’s very healthy.

Ashland: Thank you.

Victoria: How did the chemo go?

Ashland: Oh, it was fine. It was not as bad as the first round.

Victoria: And you made it back here all on your own.

Ashland: That’s right. Before long, I’m gonna be up and around in no time.

Victoria: I’m very impressed. I’m gonna make myself some lunch. Do you want anything?

Ashland: Oh, no, thank you. You brought me this smoothie. I’m sure it’s gonna be delicious. Victoria.

Victoria: What?

Ashland: Honey, I am so sorry. I was just lying to you, and you deserve the truth. The treatment was brutal, and i thought I was going to collapse earlier. Dr. Hastings was kind enough to rescue me at the coffee house and bring me here.

Victoria: I’m so sorry. I should’ve gone with you. How are you feeling now?

Ashland: Well, for the first time, I have to admit…I might not be able to handle this.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Glass shattering ] Is it over? Are you asking me out on a date?

[ Chuckles ] Well, you know, we haven’t had — we haven’t had a chance to spend time together, just the two of us. Like we’re the only two people in the whole world. Are we? How about tonight, we are.

[ Sighs ] Just you and me, right? You know, I-I know that we’ve gone through some tough times lately, but maybe now, everything’s gonna be okay. Why wouldn’t it be?

[ Laughs ] So…has our first date officially started? Well, you know, it’s like the — the good thing is we don’t — we’re not gonna have first-date jitters, right? Yeah, or wondering if the date’s gonna end in a kiss. Wow. Okay, how could cyrus be making moves? I thought he was in federal prison somewhere in the midwest. Jordan said cyrus targeted someone. It’s not us, but she’s got proof that he’s still a threat. So this warning came from jordan. Yes, she wanted me to know that the feds believe that cyrus made contact with people on the outside who still back him. Okay, but he’s not after us. Not as far as jordan knows. But it is cyrus. And that could change at anytime. Dad? Dad, it’s me. Oh, okay, perfect. He’s not here. Just like you thought. Alright, let’s get started. Let’s do it. I take it you’re not wildly enthusiastic about my decision. Forgive me, I just — I thought that this conversation was going in a different direction. You started by agreeing with my advice to focus on your present and your future. I absolutely agree. It’s excellent advice that I just can’t follow, especially since i think I stirred things up by poking around. Maybe that’s what led to naomi dreyfus’ murder. Let the police handle it, shawn. I’m on this. Well, you know, I’ve never been one for hanging in the back or sitting on the bench. Is that it? Or do you not trust me to find out the truth? Hi. Looks like you’re having just a little trouble. I know. Well, it’s been a while. Generally, cameron and jake set this tent up. It’s too bad they didn’t come. They said they’re too old for camping. Oh. That’s silly. Daddy and aunt elizabeth are old, and so is uncle chase, and they’re are here. Oh, excuse me, miss violet. First of all, I am not old, and second of all, I am not prepared. When I told jake he could have a sleepover, I should have asked him how to set this thing up. Isn’t it supposed to be easier? Yeah, I mean, let’s take a look here. Let’s take…

voil.

[ Chuckles ] Well, look at that. My hero.

[ Chuckles ] Good job, dad.

[ Both laugh ] Drew’s plane was a chartered flight, and there was someone else onboard connected to lethe unlimited when it went down over the gulf of aden. How long has the wsb been sitting on this? Yeah, I don’t understand. I thought this was supposed to be a thorough investigation back in 2019. How come we’re only hearing about lethe unlimited now? Well, clearly, there was more to this crash than we’d been told, and, you know, this — there has to be a reason for that. Maybe the reason is because drew is still alive. What the hell is going on here?! Now, I paid good money for a romantic trip to st. Lucia, not some — some death plunge. I don’t often give way to terror. This was an exception.

[ Sighs ] What — what is that you’re clutching? Just a little keepsake to remind me of my children. Ah. Perhaps nathan was watching us — over us just now. We seem to be turning around. What? Maybe there’s a problem with the plane. Where’s the pilot? Hello? Hello? H-hello? Nobody’s answering. What the hell’s going on?

I don’t know what to tell you. The wsb had full control of this investigation, which means… if the name the other person onboard was omitted, it was done deliberately. So this mystery passenger could be connected to the wsb? I-I wouldn’t be able to say with any certainty because, um… I have clearance issues.

[ Sighs ] Dante knows that I-I’ve been blocked from several active cases because the bureau believes that I was compromised by peter. Dante: To that end, is it possible that the wsb still doesn’t trust you? I mean, are we sure we can trust that this information is accurate? Chase: Hey, guys. Hey. Hey. How did you know the trick to the tent? Oh, I’ve done my fair share of sleeping on the ground. You? Yes, me. Should i be insulted here?

[ Chuckles ] I-I think what he means is, is that you’re, you know, you’re well put together, and being a doctor and all, you probably haven’t had a lot of time camping. Hmm. Chase: Maybe not lately. But finn used to camp all the time when he was violet’s age. Are you sure? Oh, yeah. I’ve heard plenty of stories. Our dad used to take him camping year-round. Even in the snow? Finn: Even in the snow. You know, snow is kind of tricky because you have to find the right place to set up your tent, right? Packed snow is a lot better than soft snow, so you have to stomp around the campground so you make it nice and flat, and then you put your tent on top of it. Whoa. Can we go camping in the winter? Only if the car breaks down.

[ Elizabeth laughs ] Chase: Oh, come on. Snow camping sounds like an adventure. Actually, it was. I remember when we were warm in our sleeping bags and the wind was howling outside our tent, I would imagine that we were the sole survivors of an avalanche. Were you scared? No, I knew my dad would protect me. Just like you protect me? Always, sweetheart. That’s a promise. So jordan said cyrus has already targeted someone? Yeah, and apparently, the feds were able to intervene and protect them. I bet it was laura. Yeah, I just got her rsvp to our wedding, and she said she can’t make it, that she’s stuck in D.C. For weeks at a conference. And you don’t — you don’t buy it. No, no, I don’t, because spencer is back in town, and things blew up big time between him and nikolas. When spencer broke his leg, laura dropped her entire life and flew to france. She would be here right now for her grandson. Okay, so why — why is cyrus using the only influence he has left to go after laura? Well, because other than his mother, laura is the one person he really wanted approval from and he never got. And what’s worse is that he feels laura wronged him the most. Well, if he’s out to settle personal scores… who else is cyrus after? Do you think the pilot had a heart attack? Maybe, and that’s why the copilot is trying to fly the plane back to new york. Hold this. Wait, wait. Yes, but what are you doing? I’m a doctor. I’m going to provide medical assistance. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You’re — you’re — you’re not. Y-you’re gonna buckle up unless you know how to fly a plane. It pains me to admit this, but no. I neglected that aspect of my education. Oh! Clearly, the pilot needs assistance. No, come with me. Come sit back down and buckle up, for crying out loud! Okay, do you — do you need help with this? No, liebchen. I need to survive this. I can’t die now. I have to help nina.

[ Sighs ] I… mike? No, it’s just that… every time we get close, it seems like… we get interrupted by something or someone from your p– is he — is peter out there? You sure he’s gone? Dr. Obrecht: Tell peter that anna

and valentin have a lead in st. Lucia. Nina:

What’s in st. Lucia? A medical conference

and my alibi.

Well, peter’s as good

as there. Soon, peter august will never bother anyone ever again. Trust me, mike. We’ve seen the last of peter. Yeah, I mean, I just — we should — I shouldn’t even be thinking about the guy. You know — you know who I want you to think about? Hmm? The man that’s in front of you. Oh, I’m thinking about the man that’s in front of me. Listen, but can I ask you just one question? What did peter say to you that made you want to take his head off? I just asked him if he knew who I was before I got here. Why would you ask him that question? Did peter seem familiar to you? No, it’s just the way he — there’s — the way he looked at me the first time he saw me. Do you think… peter sinclair… knows who I am?

Chase: Alright, who wants to scout for more firewood? I do. I’ll go. You sure you’re up for it? Yeah. The outdoors is doing me good. And if I run into any problems, I’ve got a doctor on call, right? Good point. Alright, let’s do this. Hut, two, three, four, hut, two, three, four.

[ Laughs ] You know, chase is a big hit. He’s having more fun than they are. Looks like he’s on his way to a full recovery. Makes it all worthwhile. I’ll bet. Mm. Well, we’d better get this bear bag secured so, um, bears don’t get our food. Okay. [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Yeah, I don’t want them to, um, nibble through my legs. Oh, they’d chomp right through those little chicken wings. Oh, stop it. Don’t say that. Actually, I think the bears want to avoid us as much as we want to avoid them. They do love our delicious food.

[ Grunts ] Still can’t get over you being this master camper extraordinaire. Well, I’m not. But, you know, I used to live and work in some really amazing third-world countries. I’ve done my fair share of roughing it. I’d forgotten about that. There’s a lot we don’t know about each other. So you don’t think I trust you to do your job? Where’d that come from? There’s been plenty of things that I’ve kept from you over the years. I wouldn’t blame you for doubting me. Yeah, now we’re getting into it. When I first came to port charles and I was undercover for the dea, there was something I neglected to tell you. Even though you were looking after tj. That’s a lot of ancient history. No point in dwelling on it. I still regret not pushing the investigation into hayden’s shooting harder. I pled guilty. What were you supposed to do? I should have seen the unfair sentencing practices. I should have been the one to go to bat for you. You can’t safeguard the criminal-justice system and the city of port charles. You’re just one person, jordan. Besides, you don’t have to protect me. You didn’t then, and you don’t now. Look, I’ve had conversations with the higher-ups at the bureau, and yes, my integrity took a hit because I sought to protect peter. But I have since assured them that that is no longer the case. You know, the only way that I am going to redeem myself is if I participate in his capture and I take him down. Well, let’s presume now that peter caused drew’s plane crash, right? Yes. So…maybe you raised some red flags by requesting this file. If this info is real… maybe you’ve alerted the person who’s trying to cover this up. But if that were the case, the request alone would have been enough and it would have been denied. Unless they’ve given you what they want you to see. Look, uh… if — if this file has truly been altered, then — then that is a major cover-up. And… that just begs the question why? Okay, the meat’s on marinade. Your dad’s pantry is impressive. We don’t have to get much of anything. Yeah, dad’s a foodie. Thank goodness for that. Your dad’s gonna flip out when he finds you’re making dinner for him. Does he know you cook? I didn’t know I cooked until this summer. I mean, isn’t it strange that I move into a dorm with no kitchen and then I have the sudden urge to cook up a storm? I mean, it’s probably some deep-rooted psychological response to you leaving home, but it’s still good that you’re doing this for him. Yes, well, hopefully, it’s a tasty reminder that I love him and that I’ll always be here for him. I know that he could use the pick-me-up. Any specific reason? Well, he won’t say it, but I know that he’s upset about my mom marrying jason. Cam told me that dinner with your parents the other night was super tense. Oh, that’s an understatement. Look, my mom and my dad act like it’s all cool around me, but, um, I can tell that things are definitely not cool between the two of them. Okay, martin grey checked out of the hotel — this just days after he asked me about our yearly rate versus our month-to-month. Okay, so you’re telling me laura and martin suddenly leave town? Yeah. That’s not a coincidence. No. I hope they’re okay. Jordan said the feds derailed whatever cyrus had planned. Alright, well, I’m relieved for martin and laura, but what about us?

[ Sighs ] We have to assume that cyrus is gonna make a move against us at some point. He may already be trying. Oh, my god. Okay, first, jax tries to trick me into incriminating myself, and now we’re back to looking over our shoulder because of cyrus? Okay, look, I know this whole thing with jax is painful, but jax is not a threat. Cyrus could be. Okay, what are we gonna do? I’m gonna get to the bottom of it. Sonny: I know it’s — it’s a long shot, but the guy was always so creepy around me, like he had leverage he wanted to spring on me.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, that’s — that’s peters arrogance. He always thinks that he’s the smartest guy in the room. You know how — how I told you that… not having a past makes you pay more attention to the present? There’s something like I’m feeling, like I’m — I’m listening more and I’m watching more. And peter, just from the beginning, he gave me bad vibes. Scott: Nina?! I-I don’t know what you’re talking about. I-I think the lack of oxygen is already affecting your brain. You’ve got to put the mask on. I can think and breathe just fine. Well, you can until you can’T. Please. Please, my schnitzel, put it on. Okay? Okay. Alright, listen, if this is it… I-I…I want to tell you something. What? What? I think that… I love you. Schnitzel! Schnitzel! What? Come back here!

[ Grunts ]

I really, really trust your intuition, mike, and… I only wish that I would have listened to you about elijah in the first place, but I have learned my lesson and I am listening now. And peter — he is gone, and I couldn’t be happier. I just hope that we don’t spend our first date talking about peter. If I learned anything from lenny’s passing, it’s that there’s no use in wasting time worrying about the future because what’s gonna happen is gonna happen. All we have… is right now. So what do you say we make the best of it? Of course I want to protect you. It’s part of my job as a cop. We both know what I’m talking about, jordan, just like we both know I can handle myself. No question. But it’s still my job to find naomi dreyfus’ killer. It’s not a stretch to think that whoever tried to kill hayden six years ago is connected to whoever did kill naomi. If that’s true, it means I inadvertently covered for this person by pleading guilty, and I have no intentions on letting that stand. Now, you and i can investigate separately, or we can do it together and find the truth that much sooner. Okay, I made these sandwiches so that we can have a picnic by the lake. Babe, can you grab the bags with the towels so we have something to sit on? I’m gonna get the napkins, the paper plates, chips… hey, it looks like — what’s this? It looks like you were having some fun. Camping is the best. We saw a deer. You saw a deer? We were so close that violet wanted to touch it. Oh, okay. Well, you know we never pet wild animals, right? No matter how cute we think they are, but they’re fun to watch. Aiden: Let’s eat. Ooh, I second that. Yeah? We ready for this? Let’s do it. Let’s do it. Let’s go. Alright. Need a hand? Oh, thanks. Who has known ties to crichton-clark — cassadines probably top of the list, right? Victor and helena, they use that place as their own personal prison. Drew was kept there. As was robin. So was I — lulu, maxie, nathan. And obrecht, when victor believed that nathan was his son. I was just about to arrest victor when liesl shot him. Oh, we barely got out of there alive when he blew the place up and himself in…2014? Yeah. Victor cassadine was in charge of the wsb at the time. Oh, yeah. That was awful. It was a very dark path for the bureau under his leadership. Yeah. There was… unsanctioned illegal covert activities the whole time. Think about it. Drew was held at crichton-clarke when victor was in charge. They messed with his memory, they programmed him to be their assassin until drew was able to break their programing. So what are you getting at? Maybe the wsb took down drew’s plane.

Here it is. Okay,this is my grandmother’s recipe, so I’m really hoping that I can pull this off. But first, we got to read it, and it’s in cursive writing. Oh, wow! What is it? It’s a stew that lady jane used to make every fall. Look, I know it’s still warm outside, but my dad just loves it. Yeah. And stew shouldn’t be hard, right? Oh, my gosh. The cook time is three hours. We’re gonna be starving by then. We need appetizers, like cheese and crackers. Oh, we got to do better than that. Oh, I remember seeing one that I liked today. Hold on. Let me see if I can find it. Yep. Baked mozzarella with marinara sauce. So we’re gonna need bread for the dipping, spinach, cheese, and sauce. And I have the perfect sauce — the one I got from nixon falls. What? Remember, I was starving, and while you were waiting for your dad to be discharged, I went to find something to eat? This cute lady at the roadhouse gave me this pasta, even though the bar doesn’t serve food, and she gave me the jar of the sauce because I was raving about it. And do you still have this sauce? My mom and I ate half, but I froze the rest. It’s enough for the appetizer. Trina, I don’t need you going through all this trouble. I could just go get sauce from the supermarket. No, no, I don’t mind. The sauce is amazing. And it’s just what we need for tonight. Alright. Trina for the win.

[ Both chuckle ] The wsb is responsible for drew’s plane crash? I don’t know, I think that’s — that’s a bit of a reach, isn’t it? Is it really, though? Because there’s a big gap in this file. That normally indicates a cover-up. Well, if it was a real cover-up, wouldn’t they have just wiped lethe unlimited and this anonymous passenger from the record altogether? Maybe it wasn’t a sanctioned cover up, but it could have been someone from within the bureau. So maybe they didn’t get all of victor’s allies when the wsb cleaned house after his death. Okay, so then it would be someone with enough authority to be able to conceal the identity of this anonymous passenger, but not enough reach to be able to eliminate the records entirely. Someone that could still be working at the bureau and at least was there in 2019. Why is that water so cold? It had all summer to heat up. So cold, so cold. We’re gotta get this fire going. Okay. Chase: You two okay?

[ Groans ]

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, never better. Mom, you were so worried about violet slipping in that you fell in instead. Then daddy tried to help you and he fell in, too. Ha-ha, that was so funny, and your concern is so touching. Thanks for swooping up violet. I’m too polite to gloat, but I find it interesting that the guy just relearning to walk was steadier on the rocks than either of you. Oh, but you’re not gloating. Yeah, no gloating, are you? No, not at all. Why don’t you guys get out of your wet clothes? Aiden, violet, and i can get the fire started. Oh, it’s almost done. We’re still watching the meteor shower, right? Oh, I don’t know if I feel up for it. Why don’t you guys just go ahead without me? I’ll take the kids. You guys can get warm, hang out here. Uh… yeah, um, that sounds like a plan. Alright, let’s do it. So, uh, have you given any thought on where we’re going to go tonight? Hmm. I thought that I would leave that in your… more than capable hands. Well, I-I have some ideas what would make tonight special. Oh, really? What is it? Well, it’s a surprise. Oh, come on! Yeah. You know, look, I got to get ready and the whole thing, so it’s gonna take a little time. So why don’t you put something fancy on and come back here? Oh, I don’t know how fancy that’s gonna be, but what are we talking about, like half an hour? Uh, two hours? You don’t need a lot of time to get beautiful. So why don’t you go change and come back? Okay. Oh, hey, can you park out back? Why? Humor me.

[ Chuckles ] You’re lucky you’re cute. Yeah, well… see you soon. See you later. Bye.

[ Door closes ] Alright, brick is checking with all his contacts to see if anybody’s dealing with cyrus or anybody heard any rumors about him coming after us. Okay, and I just got off the phone with devin. Josslyn’s fine. She’s at jax’s house. Okay, good, and I told tony to arrange for more security at the wedding. Where all of our loved ones are going to be… in one place.

Can I just play devil’s advocate? Yeah, please do. So lethe unlimited is a multinational company with varied interests. It has employees all around the globe. What if this anonymous passenger… was just a legitimate coincidence? Well, they do have an office in addis ababa. So what, you’re saying that this anonymous passenger was really a lethe unlimited executive who just happened to grab a seat on that charter flight that peter was sabotaging and just got caught up in it? I don’t know. I guess — I guess it’s possible.

[ Scoffs ] Then why conceal the person’s identity? Rick is a security genius. Between him and the rest of our people, the wedding is gonna be safe. I know. I trust you, okay, but it’s unsettling that cyrus still has allies on the outside. His organization is shattered and in pieces. Where is he finding these people to carry out his revenge?

[ Sighs ] Just right in front of our faces. Cyrus must have aligned himself with one of the five families.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t shoot. I come bearing refreshments — two lemonades and doughnuts from kelly’S. Think of everything. So have you given any thought to my suggestion? You’re right. We can get a lot farther working on this together. For real?

[ Chuckles ] Well, the doughnuts must have sweetened the deal. It didn’t hurt. But yes, let’s do this. It would be a waste of your time trying to track down public information that I can get much quicker. So we can work on this together, but only when I’m off duty. Are you ever off duty? That’s my final offer. Take it or leave it.

[ Sighs ] Fine. I’ll take it. Alright, well, so far, I know naomi was murdered and whoever killed her tried to make it look like a suicide or an accidental O.D. What don’t I know? Just so happens I got new information on naomi’s case just this morning. You okay?

[ Chuckles ] I can hear your teeth chattering over here. I don’t know why I can’t get warm. It’s not like it’s freezing outside. I’m just freezing inside. Mm. Talk about something warm. Maybe power of suggestion will help. Yeah? Yeah. I think I got a place. One of my favorite memories… I was in namibia for a year, just south of the sahara. It’s one of the driest, most remote places on earth. It’S… picture desert as far as the eye can see, but not just any desert. It’s vibrant. It’s warm. Red-colored swirls of sand… culminating in the most beautiful sand dunes you’ve ever seen. Like cascading waves of sand in a burning sun… against a blue sky that seems to stretch forever and ever. And endless horizon. In the late afternoon, all the colors soften to pinks and purples. And a warm breeze engulfs your skin and you feel like… or not.

[ Chuckles ] You’re still shivering. Sounds beautiful. You’re really lucky you got to experience that. I’m still chilled to my bones.

[ Both chuckle ] Come here. We can share body heat.

You’re still cold, aren’t you?

[ Laughing ] Yes. Share your blanky with me.

[ Both chuckle ] Okay. Better? Much better. How’s it going? It is in the oven. I thought stew cooked on top of the stove. Not this recipe, which is why it takes so long. Fair warning — the kitchen is a mess. Oh, don’t worry. I’ll help you clean it up. Now, behold everything you need for your recipe, including the to-die-for sauce! Oh, and I am most appreciative, especially since you’re donating this miraculous sauce for my dinner. Just save me a bite or two so I can have one last dip. God, is it really that good? Trust me, it will change your life. Okay. Vincent novak was here earlier, and he made a point of telling me that he was sending joey out of the country and there would be no more trouble from his family. Buscema: Thank you for meeting with me, mr. Morgan. I’ll be brief. Like you, I’m concerned about the novak organization’s lack of control over joey. Approaching mrs. Corinthos’ daughter — unacceptable. I intend to make my feelings known to vincent. And yesterday, buscema made it a point of condemning joey’s actions. Okay, do you think it’s just a smokescreen for the novaks? So, what, joey wasn’t in charge of his own actions? He was — he was working off of vincent? Right. This whole thing’s a setup? The novaks are gonna try and make a run for our territory. It wouldn’t be the first time they challenged us. Look, carly, right now, we can’t rule out anything or anyone. Hope you had a nice flight. What have you got for me, mr. Buscema? We’ve been tracing naomi’s movements leading up to her death. She wasn’t lying when she told finn that she’d just returned to the U.S. Passport control confirmed that naomi flew in from paris a day before she came to port charles. Okay, so she flew out of paris. That’s charles de gaulle airport. That’s like saying laguardia or jfk. She could be coming from anywhere. Well, that’s why I’ve requested her flight and ticket info — where it originated, the flight manifest. Maybe knowing where naomi came from can help us figure out why she ended up dead. Alright, so this other passenger was a person of significance, and that’s why their identity was omitted. So we just got to, uh, find out who this other passenger was. And if there’s any connection to victor’s tenure at the wsb. No, guys, maybe it’s simpler than that. Maybe this other passenger had a connection to drew. Mike?

[ Sighs ] Mike? Hey. Hey. Hey. Wow, you look beautiful. You don’t look so bad yourself. Are you ready to go? Yeah, I can hardly wait to find out where you’re gonna take me. Well, let’s go check it out.

[ Chuckles ] Okay.

[ Laughs ] Here you go.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Gasps ] I, uh — I couldn’t think of a better place to take you than… where we first met. It’s perfect. Well, thank you. Yeah.

[ Groans ] So, toast. To our first date. To our first date.

[ Chuckles ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Allie: Chanel and johnny almost had sex last night? When did she tell you that?

Tripp: When I ran into her at the square.

Allie: Well, that’s a very private thing for her to tell a guy she barely knows.

Tripp: Yeah. It was definitely an overshare, but I think she was just really psyched about her date. I mean, she seems really into your brother, allie.

Chanel: Now will you believe me when I tell you I’over your sister?

Johnny: It’s a start. But I think I might need a little more convincing.

[Phone rings]

Philip: Hey, good-lookin’.

Chloe: Hey. Am I calling at a bad time?

Philip: Nope. Just having dinner at the pub. How’s the big apple? You seen parker yet?

Chloe: No, because I’m not in new york yet.

Philip: Why not? What happened?

Chloe: The dimera jet had some sort of a mechanical problem.

Philip: In flight?

Chloe: Yeah. It was really scary. The pilot had to make an emergency landing.

Philip: Are you okay?

Chloe: Yeah, I’m fine, but um, brady and I are stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Shawn: Well, tell theo I said hi… and keep calling, please. I like knowing how you’re doing. Okay. Love you, too.

Ciara: Hey. How’s claire?

Shawn: She sounds good. She’s loving her job and she’s just having fun exploring “jo-burg.”

Ciara: Good. Did she say anything about theo?

Shawn: Yeah, I mean, enough for me to know that he’s doing all right.

Ciara: Good. That’s good.

Shawn: So, what are you two doing here? What’s up?

Ciara: Well, we thought that we should tell you that we are leaving salem.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Shawn: Wait, so you’re leaving town now too? Wait, so it’s first claire and now you?

Ciara: No, no, no. Before you start getting abandonment issues, we aren’t leaving permanently.

Shawn: Okay, people who aren’t leaving permanently usually say they’re going on vacation. They don’t say “I’m leaving town.”

Ciara: Okay, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, big bro.

Shawn: Okay. You better be sorry. Come on! I was just getting used to having you back here again. So, uh, what’s the deal then? What is it?

Ben: Well, it hit us that we never actually got a real honeymoon, so we’re gonna take off for a little while.

Ciara: Mm-hmm. Just the two of us.

Philip: Where’s the middle of nowhere?

Chloe: A private airstrip near wilkes-barre. And we’re stuck here until they fix whatever is wrong with the jet.

Philip: Sounds like your basic nightmare.

Chloe: It is. I had to tell parker I won’t be seeing him tonight. And we had to reschedule our meeting with the client.

Philip: I knew this trip was a bad idea. I hope brady’s taking charge, getting you out of there as soon as possible.

Chloe: This isn’t brady’s fault. So, I just wanted to let you know that I am staying at the pocono paradise motel.

Philip: You’re at a motel?

Chloe: Well, yeah. We can’t sleep on the street.

Philip: You and brady? Are you kidding me?

Chloe: Oh, calm down. It’s just for the night, okay?

Philip: It better be. Call me when you get to new york, okay?

Chloe: I will. Good night, philip.

Philip: Take care.

[Knocking on door]

Brady: Hey.

Chloe: What happened to you?

Brady: This is officially the business trip from hell.

[Dramatic music]

Belle: I take it something’s wrong?

Philip: Your brother’s still after chloe. He’s not being subtle about it. This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Tripp: Look, I hope I didn’t betray a confidence telling you about chanel and johnny.

Allie: Well, chanel would’ve told me eventually. She happen to mention why they didn’t hook up?

Tripp: Well, it’s real romantic. Neither one of them had a condom.

Allie: Well, thank god for that.

Tripp: What does that mean?

Allie: Well, for one thing, chanel could get pregnant. I love henry, but he deserves to have a father.

Tripp: You don’t think your brother would step up?

Allie: No. He’s more of a love ’em and leave ’em kind of guy. Which is why I don’t think it’s a good idea that he and chanel are dating. Someone’s definitely gonna get their heart broken.

Johnny: I hope you like pb&js. Turns out it’s the cook’s night off tonight, so…

Chanel: Pb&j just happens to be my favorite sandwich.

Johnny: I knew I liked you.

Chanel: Who’s this dude?

Johnny: Uh, that is my nonno, stefano dimera.

Chanel: Nonno looks like the man you don’t mess with.

Johnny: Yeah, no, you got that right. Yeah, a lot of people were afraid of him, but, uh, he was always really great to me. He’s the one who called me giovanni.

Chanel: Ah, that reminds me. So, now that I know you also go by johnny, which of your names do you like best?

Johnny: Uh, well, you know, I’m pretty used to being called either one by now, so… I guess you can call me whatever you want. As long as you call me.

[Laughter]

Chanel: Do you pull that line out for all the girls?

Johnny: No, just the special ones.

Chanel: Boy, you are too much.

Johnny: Is that a good thing?

Chanel: We’ll see.

Philip: So, now chloe and brady are staying in a motel tonight.

Belle: And I’m missing the part where brady is trying to take chloe away from you?

Philip: You really think that plane just happened to have engine trouble?

Belle: Okay, what? You think brady booby-trapped his own plane?

Philip: No, but he could’ve paid the pilot to fake an emergency landing.

Belle: Oh, my gosh. So, what would he get out of that? I mean, he and chloe were gonna be staying overnight anyway. Now they’re just stuck in the sticks instead of manhattan.

Philip: No, in new york chloe would’ve been spending her free time with parker and her parents. Now brady has her all to himself, in the middle of nowhere.

Belle: Okay, so you honestly believe that my brother would deprive chloe of seeing her son just to get her alone?

Philip: I think brady would stoop to anything to get her back. I do not trust that guy one bit.

Chloe: Here you go.

Brady: Thank you.

Chloe: So, why are you so wet? It’s not even raining outside.

Brady: No, it’s not. You ready for this?

Chloe: Yeah.

Brady: I go to the room that I was given. Walk in, and inside that room is an elderly couple, going at it like bunnies.

Chloe: Oh, my god.

Brady: Yeah. I walked in on it and I-I-i immediately said, “I’m so sorry. I think I have the wrong room. Sorry for the mix-up.” Start to walk out. The old man wasn’t having it. He called me a pervert, screamed it. I know. And then he dumped the, you know the-the plascit– the plastic bucket of ice?

Chloe: Yeah.

Brady: Well, it turned into water at the time and it was, he doused me with it while I was walking out.

Chloe: I’m sorry.

Brady: You can laugh. No, it’s all right. Laugh. It’s funny. It’s hilarious.

Chloe: No, no. I’m sorry. I’m, I’m just visualizing a naked old man dumping a bucket of ice water on your head. I’m sorry. I really am sorry for you.

Brady: I-I, I’m sorry. Yeah, you seem sorry.

Chloe: And, you know what, I’m so grateful that that little old naked man did not hurt you.

Brady: No, that little old naked man did not hurt me physically. But that little old naked man hurt me emotionally, because I’m never going to be able to forget what I saw in there.

Chloe: Ooh, yeah, I bet. So, I’m guessing they double-booked the room?

Brady: That’s what they’re telling me. And um, they don’t have any other rooms available.

Chloe: What, this place is booked solid?

Brady: Right? But no, they’re painting. They’re painting a bunch of the other rooms. That’s what they told me.

Chloe: Oh. So, what are you gonna do?

Brady: Well, I thought I’d– I’d camp out in the parking lot, chloe. I mean, I was hoping I could stay here. Honestly.

Chloe: Uh, can I ask you something?

Brady: Yeah, sure.

Chloe: Are you telling me the truth?

Shawn: So, where are you going for your honeymoon?

Ciara: Well, ben wanted to go to the cabin.

Ben: I spent a lot of time fixing that place up.

Ciara: Mm-hmm. I know, and it looks great, baby, you did a great job.

Ben: Well, thank you.

Ciara: I know. But we literally just got back from there and it’s not necessarily honeymoon material.

Ben: I know that. You have a point.

Shawn: I mean, she really, really does.

Ciara: I really, really do.

Ben: Okay. All right. Anyway.

Ciara: Anyway. So we discussed a couple of options and we decided on a place that has a little bit more going on, a place that is very important to mom and dad.

Ben: New orleans.

Shawn: Ahh! Nice. That’s where they had their unofficial wedding.

Ciara: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. A mannequin performed their wedding.

Ben: That sounds a little weird.

Ciara: Yeah, it does to me too, but it was a really big turning point for them.

Shawn: Yeah, they had some really great years after that.

Ben: So will we.

[Light music]

Brady: You think I made this up? Really?

Chloe: Well, just, it sounds a little convenient. And not to be egotistical or anything, but you have been pretty open about your feelings for me, so…

Brady: Dang. Dang it. You got me. You got me. See, what I did is I paid off the pilot first to ground the plane, then I paid off the desk clerk to make sure that this place was booked. The master stroke of the whole plan was paying off the naked elderly man who threw the bucket of ice water on me. I’m kind of glad you figured the whole thing out because I was starting to run out of money actually.

Chloe: You still haven’t answered my question.

Brady: The answer is no. I did not plan any of this, and frankly I think you know me a little too well to think I would do something that underhanded. That’s actually more your boyfriend’s style. That’s philip’s–

Chloe: Don’t start in on philip. You’re not exactly a saint either.

Brady: I’m not a saint, chloe, but no. I don’t like the fact that you’re with him. I don’t like it. The fact is, I respect your decision and that’s that. But if you’re not comfortable with sharing a room with me tonight, then that’s not a problem. I’ll go sleep in the lobby. It’s not a big deal.

Chloe: No, wait, wait, wait, wait, come on. You’re–you’re not sleeping in the lobby. You can stay here tonight.

Brady: Thank you.

Chloe: But philip’s not gonna be happy about this.

Belle: You do realize you’re being paranoid, right? Nobody’s trying to take anything from you.

Philip: Aside from you taking my fries?

Belle: Well, they’re getting cold while you’re sitting here ranting about brady.

Philip: I’m not wrong about this, belle. You could help me prove it.

Belle: How?

Philip: You work for dimera, so you must know how to get in touch with the pilot.

Belle: Oh, god, I hate where this is going.

Philip: Could you just give him a call? Tell him you heard about the emergency landing. Ask him if it’s on the up and up?

Belle: Oh, would you stop? Brady is still getting over kristen. He’s not spending his time trying to win chloe back.

Philip: Found time to take her as his date to your brother’s anniversary party.

Belle: Oh, that was platonic.

Philip: And he also kissed her.

Belle: Oh. Well, so, even if he is interested in chloe, it doesn’t mean chloe’s interested in him. She picked you, philip. And you trust her, don’t you?

Philip: Call the pilot.

Chanel: Dinner was awesome. My compliments to the chef.

Johnny: Well, thank you, ma’am, we aim to please.

Chanel: So, what do we do now?

Johnny: Well, I was thinking maybe we could hit the pool?

Chanel: I don’t have a swimsuit.

Johnny: Funniest thing. Neither do I. Let’s go.

Chanel: And have your family and all those servants gawking out the windows? I’m sorry, but my mama raised me to have some class.

Johnny: Okay. Okay. Well, I don’t know if you’re gonna love my next suggestion either, then.

Chanel: Well, if it’s not strutting out naked in front of god and everybody, I’ll probably go for it.

Johnny: Well, I was thinking that maybe we could run upstairs to my room and pick up where we left off last night.

[Smooth music]

I came prepared this time.

Chanel: Sure of yourself, aren’t you?

Johnny: Well, I’m just trying to think of you. But if you’re not interested, well…

Chanel: Well, I mean, after the gourmet meal you slaved over, how could I say no?

Tripp: Well, for what it’s worth, I think johnny was just as into chanel as she was into him.

Allie: No, if johnny truly liked chanel and respected her, he wouldn’t have tried to get her into bed after one date.

Tripp: Well, my sense was that the feeling was mutual, okay, I don’t think you have anything to worry about.

Allie: No, you don’t know johnny like I do. He’s using her.

Tripp: Where are you going?

Allie: I have to have a talk with my brother.

Tripp: Now?

Allie: Yes. This can’t wait.

Tripp: Well, do you want me to come with you?

Allie: No, no. This is between johnny and me, so just make yourself comfortable. I’ll be back in a little.

Tripp: Wait, but do you really think it’s a good idea to– okay. What–what just happened?

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Brady: You really think philip would have a problem with us sharing a room for just one night?

Chloe: You know he would. He hates the idea of us even going on a trip together, and now this?

Brady: I do have a dim memory of him saying something to me, uh, what was it? Oh yeah. “I’ll kill you, brady.”

Chloe: He said that?

Brady: Yeah, he did. That was his friendly warning. He was afraid that I would be inappropriate.

Chloe: Yeah, well, he would definitely think it’s inappropriate that we’re sharing a motel room.

Brady: Does he really have to know?

Chloe: You want me to lie to him?

Brady: No. You don’t lie to him. You just don’t tell him.

Chloe: Well, that’s a lie by omission.

Brady: It’s kind of venial. Okay, you just got to say a bunch of rosaries a bunch of our fathers and “I’m so sorry” and–

Chloe: Brady.

Brady: All right. Then you know, tell him, chloe. I don’t care. Watch him freak out. He’ll go nuts. I’m not afraid of him.

Chloe: How do I get myself into these messes?

Brady: Maybe the question you should ask yourself is, “why do I want to be with someone I can’t be honest with?”

Belle: You’re not thinking this through, philip.

Philip: What’s there to think about?

Belle: All right, let’s just say brady did pay off the pilot to make an emergency landing, which I still think is completely farfetched, but let’s just say he did it. The pilot is not going to admit it.

Philip: Good point. So I’ll offer him a lot of money.

Belle: Oh, okay. Well, I’m definitely not gonna help you bribe somebody.

Philip: You wouldn’t do a favor for an old friend?

Belle: Honey, you’re starting to sound a little desperate.

Philip: That’s because I am a little desperate. I feel like this is my last shot at getting things right with chloe. I can’t let her slip through my fingers again.

Belle: It’s a short trip. Two days tops, and then tomorrow chloe’s gonna be in meetings or with parker. What could happen?

Philip: You know what else was a short trip? The time chloe and brady went to dry creek, north dakota.

Belle: That was to go find chloe’s biological father.

Philip: Mm-hmm. Summer after high school. Things were going well for me and chloe. Brady interfered, stole her away from me.

Belle: Well, he didn’t set out to do that. He was just trying to help her.

Philip: Doesn’t matter. I still lost her. I’m not gonna let history repeat itself.

Belle: Well, what are you gonna do?

Philip: I’m gonna get myself to wilkes-barre, pa, before it’s too late.

Shawn: So, when are you guys heading out?

Ciara: Tonight.

Ben: We’re gonna start heading down to new orleans. Found a few places to stop along the way and camp underneath the stars.

Shawn: Ahh. Nice and romantic.

Ben: And we should actually get going.

Shawn: But hey, why don’t you guys stick around a little bit? Belle’s getting some desserts from the brady pub. Why don’t you, you stay and have a little celebratory party?

Ciara: Sure. Yeah, that sounds great, right?

Ben: Definitely.

Ciara: Yeah.

Shawn: And while we wait, I can give you your wedding present.

Ciara: Aww, big bro, you got us a present?

Shawn: Of course I did. And it just so happens, it ties in with your honeymoon location.

Autumn: Tripp.

Tripp: Autumn. What are you doing here?

Autumn: Well, I made too much food for dinner so I thought I’d use it as an excuse to come see my grandson.

Tripp: He’s not here. My dad and kayla are babysitting.

Autumn: Oh. That’s disappointing. Well, have you and allie already eaten? Because I could still heat the food up.

Tripp: Allie’s not here.

Autumn: She left you here all alone? Where’d she go?

Allie: Hold it right there, johnny demira.

Johnny: What do you think you’re doing?

Allie: I could ask you the same question. People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Philip: No one better be using the titan jet. What are you doing?

Belle: Hopefully I’m saving you from making a total ass of yourself.

Philip: Brady could be making his move right now. Give me the phone.

Belle: No!

Philip: Give me the phone!

Belle: Listen, let’s– let’s just play this out, okay? You get on a plane to wilkes-barre and you go barging into chloe’s room where she is most likely sleeping alone.

Philip: “Most likely”? You left room for doubt.

Belle: How do you think that is gonna make you look to chloe?

Philip: Like a man in love.

Belle: Like a total psycho.

Philip: [Chuckles] So I’ll bring flowers and champagne and tell her I decided to surprise her.

Belle: Oh, please, she’s gonna see right through that. And she’s also gonna see that you don’t trust her, which actually could drive her directly into brady’s arms. Is that what you want?

Philip: You know I don’T.

Belle: Okay. Then stuff your paranoid jealousy and chill out!

Chloe: I can be honest with philip about everything except you.

Brady: Why is that?

Chloe: Well, for one thing, you and I used to be married.

Brady: Hmm, and a couple months ago you said you wanted me back.

Chloe: And you so ever gently said that you weren’t interested. So, I got over you. Even when you kissed me.

Brady: When I kissed you, I wasn’t aware that you had gotten over me.

Chloe: Well, I have. And for the record, I’m still over you.

Brady: Duly noted.

Chloe: And you know, when it comes to you, with philip, it’s just– it’s a touchy subject, you know.

Brady: Chloe, philip has always been insanely jealous. It’s not on me. That’s just the way the guy is.

Chloe: And you are an expert at pushing his buttons.

Brady: Push his buttons? Like, what is, how do I do that?

Chloe: Oh, come on. There was no real reason for me to come on this trip. You only asked me to come because you knew it would upset him.

Brady: No. I asked– I asked you to come on this trip because you are a vital asset to this company.

Chloe: So you had no other agenda? Be honest.

Brady: Look, I like spending time with you. Is that wrong? I don’t think that’s wrong.

Chloe: Yes, it is wrong when I have a boyfriend. You know what? The problem here isn’t philip. The problem is you.

Tripp: Oh, that was amazing. I can’t believe rafe didn’t finish this off.

Autumn: Rafe didn’t have any of it. He called at the last minute and said that he was working late. So, tell me about allie’s twin brother?

Tripp: Yeah, he just showed up a couple of days ago and he’s already dating allie’s friend chanel.

Autumn: She set them up?

Tripp: No, they totally met on their own. Pure coincidence. Allie just found out tonight.

Autumn: And how does she feel about that?

Tripp: Not too happy.

Autumn: Why?

Tripp: She says that her brother’s a player. That’s the reason that she’s not here right now. She tore out of her to warn him to back off. She was pretty worked up.

Autumn: What’s got you so bothered about this?

Tripp: She says that she needs to stop johnny from hurting her best friend, but this friend is pretty good at taking care of herself, so part of me wonders that she’s so protective, it’s because…

Autumn: She’s jealous.

Tripp: I did not say that.

Autumn: You did not have to.

Chanel: Allie, what are you doing here?

Allie: I’m here to talk to my brother. What are you doing here?

Johnny: Oh, we had a date. Remember? We met you and tripp for drinks. Then we came back here. So whatever talk you want to have, you can just wait until tomorrow.

Allie: Oh, so you guys can go upstairs and finish what you started last night?

Johnny: How do you know about that?

Chanel: Uh, I may have overshared a little. Sorry.

Johnny: You don’t have to apologize, it’s not a problem.

Allie: Yes, it is, johnny.

Johnny: Why?

Allie: Because I don’t want you charming my friend into bed just like you do every other girl you meet. I’m telling you the truth. If you sleep with him, he’s just gonna move on to the next one.

Johnny: You don’t know anything about me!

Allie: He used to come home and brag about it to me.

Johnny: That was five years ago! We haven’t even lived in the same place since then!

Allie: Yeah, have you really changed?

Johnny: I don’t know why you’re trashing me in front of chanel, but I don’t like it. You need to go, allie.

Allie: Sorry, but I’m not going anywhere. Did you know that your toughest cleaning problems

Autumn: You told me that allie and chanel kissed once.

Tripp: Actually it was twice.

Autumn: It happened again?

Tripp: Allie admitted that she felt something for chanel.

Autumn: So, she found herself attracted to an old friend.

Tripp: It doesn’t matter, okay, she chose me instead.

Autumn: Okay, so why is she so bothered that her brother’s with chanel, hmm?

Tripp: I don’t know. And it bothers me.

Autumn: Okay. Listen to me, tripp. If an old friendship is suddenly turning into something new, face it. Do not tell yourself that it doesn’t matter and that it’s not happening. You need to talk to allie and you need to find out exactly where you stand. Otherwise, you might find yourself being the odd man out. And that’s a very lonely place to be.

Johnny: I’m not joking around. You need to go, allie. Chanel and I were just about–

Allie: Oh, I know what you were about to go do. It’s what you always do. Make a girl believe you like her, and then sleep with her, and then just toss her aside like it was nothing.

Johnny: I would never do that to her, I swear.

Allie: Oh, come on. You’re already playing games. What, calling yourself giovanni?

Johnny: You don’t even understand what that was about.

Allie: Fine. Make me understand.

Johnny: No, because it’s none of your business. So go find tripp, live your own life, and stay the hell out of mine. Now seriously, go.

Chanel: Know what? I’m the one that’s gonna leave. I’m gonna let you two sort this out.

Johnny: Don’t do that.

Chanel: It’s getting late anyway.

Johnny: You happy now?

Ciara: Is this what I think it is?

Shawn: I found a used copy of the book of poetry that dad gave mom for her 18th birthday.

Ben: Oh, god.

Ciara: Grandpa shawn gave it to my dad right before he joined the merchant marines.

Shawn: And mom gave me my own copy when belle and i got married, but the first time. So, I just felt like it was my responsibility to carry on the tradition.

Ben: That means so much to me, man. Thank you so much, brother.

Shawn: Absolutely.

Ciara: It means a lot to me too.

Shawn: Absolutely.

Ciara: I love you.

Shawn: I put a bookmark in there, on a poem by sir walter scott, so…

Ben: The guy who wrote “ivanhoe”?

Shawn: Yeah, yeah, dad read it to mom in their unofficial wedding in new orleans and mom read it to dad at their official one in london.

Ben: Starting to feel a lot of pressure to live up to that love story.

Shawn: Our parents’ love story is definitely an incredible one. Much like yours and ciara’S.

Ciara: Yeah, I agree.

Shawn: I don’t know what– what’s taking belle so long, but listen, if you guys got to go, you just go. Got to get on the road, you can just, just cut the pie out.

Ben: We probably should get going if we want to find a good place to stop.

Ciara: Right. Right, you’re right. Shawn, thank you so much for this. You know, maybe we can give it to a kid of ours someday.

Ben: Yeah.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: Someday.

Shawn: Look, you two– you two have fun on your little honeymoon, okay? And like they say in the big easy, laissez les bon temps rouler.

Ben: Ah, oui oui. I don’t know, I didn’t do french.

Ciara: Well, I did, and it means “let the good times roll.”

Philip: You know the history between brady, chloe, and me.

Belle: Mm-hmm.

Philip: Thought you’d be a little more understanding.

Belle: You ever heard the– the phrase, “those who ignore the past are condemned to repeat it”?

Philip: What’s that got to do with me?

Belle: How many times in high school did I tell you that jealousy was gonna mess up your life? And here we are, more than 20 years later, and I am still trying to get that through your thick skull.

Philip: Do you know how hard it is for me to just sit back and do nothing?

Belle: Well, I remember some other things about that trip to dry creek that you just left out, like tracking chloe down there and, and paying off the sheriff to arrest brady and then lying to chloe about it?

Philip: They were gonna stay in the same room. If I hadn’t shown up–

Belle: Nothing. Nothing would’ve happened, philip. Chloe was faithful to you. You just couldn’t believe it and so, you know, you went and screwed everything up and you’re doing this all over again. Listen to me. Do yourself a favor, okay. Just finish your burger and go home. Go to sleep. Try trusting chloe for a change and just see how that works.

Philip: Okay. Okay, you got through to me. I’m not gonna do anything stupid.

Belle: Good. Well, I have a pie to deliver and shawn is waiting for me.

Philip: Thanks for talking me down. You’re a good friend.

Belle: Yes. I know.

Brady: You know, I don’t know what you’re so afraid of. Even if I wanted to come between you and philip, i wouldn’t be able to, right. It’s a lost cause because your relationship with him is solid as a rock.

Chloe: You know what? You know what’s making my blood pressure go crazy right now?

Brady: No, chloe. What is making you go crazy right now?

Chloe: I gave us a chance to be together. I opened up about my feelings for you, but no. You couldn’t do that to kristen. You made your choice. And even though I thought she was bad for you and I could make you happy, I kept my distance. I even offered to quit my job to give you some space and now, now when I have chosen to be with philip, you’re not doing the same thing and I just don’t think that’s fair.

Brady: Stop, stop. Listen, the only reason why you made the choice in the first place is because philip said if you were with brady that kristen would be a threat.

Chloe: Just stop, okay? Stop! It’s been a rotten, long night, and I don’t want to argue with you, so let’s just call it a night.

Brady: [Frustrated sigh]

Limu emu & doug

Autumn: It is so nice of you to walk with me.

Tripp: Well, I don’t think allie’s coming back anytime soon, so I’m just gonna head home.

Autumn: I’m sorry things are such a mess. You keep me updated, okay?

Tripp: I will, I will. And thank you, again, for the amazing dinner. Rafe doesn’t know what he’s missing.

Autumn: I think he did. Oh, come here. Oh, I love you so much.

Tripp: I love you too. Hey.

Chanel: Hi.

Tripp: So, tonight was crazy, right? Can’t believe that your new guy is allie’s brother.

Chanel: Yeah, me neither. And she’s definitely not happy about that.

Tripp: Yeah, yeah, I know. She took off after him to have it out with him.

Chanel: I was there when she showed up.

Tripp: How’d it go?

Chanel: Talk to her about that. Good night.

Johnny: Chanel left because of you, you know.

Allie: She got out just in time.

Johnny: What’s that supposed to mean?

Allie: Do you remember my friend katie, from high school? You hooked up with her and then you dumped her a week afterwards? You didn’t care what that did to her, but I saw it. She was a wreck. She– I was afraid she was going to do something to hurt herself.

Johnny: I told you, I’m not like that anymore.

Allie: Uh-huh. And that’s why you tried to get chanel into bed after what, your second date? It’s a good thing I got here before you could.

Johnny: Are you jealous or something?

Allie: Don’t be dumb, okay. I’m with tripp and chanel is my friend and that’s it.

Johnny: I don’t know if I believe that. And deep down, I don’t think you do either.

Chloe: You’re gonna need another blanket.

Brady: They don’t have another blanket. I already looked. I’ll be fine, I’ll be fine, good.

Chloe: Brady, in the past few months you’ve been shot and in a car accident.

Brady: Yeah, it’s been great, but I’m fine. I’m comfy. You can go to bed. Good night.

Chloe: Night.

Brady: Uh…sorry. You mind if I read? Suddenly I’m not sleepy. I just–

Chloe: Oh, for god sakes, just come sleep in the bed.

Brady: I don’t want to make you uncomfortable.

Chloe: Just stay on your side.

Brady: Are you, are you- only if you’re sure.

[Light music]

Chloe: What are you doing with that blanket?

Brady: Think of it as the wall of jericho. This is much nicer. Thank you.

Chloe: Sure.

[Tense music]

Philip: He is gonna try something.

[Line ringing] Hey, this is philip kiriakis. Tell me the plane is available and ready to go. Great. I’m on my way to the airfield now. Wilkes-barre, pa. I’ll know the exact location when I get there.

Belle: Uhg, sorry I’m late. I ran into philip at the pub.

Shawn: Oh, yeah? What’s new with him?

Belle: Oh, I’ll tell you after you have your pie. Hi.

Shawn: Hi.

Belle: Did I miss anything while I was gone?

Shawn: Well, ben and ciara stopped by and they just left on their honeymoon.

Belle: Aw.

Ciara: True love’s the gift which god has given.

Ben: To man alone beneath the heaven.

[Light music]

Ciara: The silver link, the silver tie.

Ben: Which heart to heart and mind to mind.

Ciara: In body and in soul can bind.

Steffy: Dad. Thank god.

Ridge: Hi. Was surprised to get your text. Thought you were on your business trip.

Steffy: Uh, yeah, yeah, I cancelled it.

Ridge: Cancelled it, huh? So I guess you already know.

Steffy: Know what?

Ridge: Grandad and quinn are back together.

Steffy: As if this day couldn’t get any worse.

Ridge: So I guess you didn’t know. So what’s going on? Door’s locked for the first time in years and… you seem rattled. Where’s finn?

Steffy: I asked him to leave.

Paris: Finn? I was just coming in and I saw you through the window. What are you doing in the guesthouse? Trying to get away from the heat? Oh, um, is everything okay?

Finn: I’m, uh, I’m giving steffy some space.

Paris: Space? Why? Did you get in a fight?

Quinn: Hey.

Eric: Hey.

Quinn: You know what I was thinking we could do tonight? I was thinking maybe we could watch a movie. Have some popcorn, curl up with each other in the screening room.

Eric: Sure.

Quinn: Yeah? But first, I was thinking maybe what we could do is take a little swim. It’s such a beautiful evening.

Eric: Been a long, hot day hasn’t it?

Quinn: Yeah, it has.

Eric: Sure. I’ll get a swimsuit.

Quinn: Whoa. Who said anything about swimsuits? It’s just the two of us. All we need is each other and maybe a pitcher of martinis, you know? Get us nice and relaxed.

Eric: You think a martini would help our cause?

Quinn: It couldn’t hurt.

Eric: Good idea.

Quinn: I don’t want you to have a care in the world. We’re going to get through this together. Who knows, maybe tonight we’ll even have a breakthrough.

Eric: I appreciate so much you’re trying to help me with this. Coping with it on my own for so long, so many months.

Quinn: I know. I wish you’d confided in me sooner.

Eric: I wasn’t ready, quinn.

Quinn: I understand.

Eric: Yeah.

Quinn: But now that you’ve finally made me aware of what you’re going through, you gotta let me help you through it. I’m your wife, eric.

Eric: I just don’t see a solution on the horizon. I don’T. I’ve done everything. I’ve talked to doctors, psychiatrists and I just– it’s still so hard to talk about.

Quinn: Well, you don’t have to talk about it. All you have to do is let me love you.

Paris: Wow, I can’t believe it. You and steffy never argue.

Finn: No, we didn’T. It wasn’t like that. It was worse. I broke her trust. I gave her my word that I would protect her and I failed.

Paris: Okay, finn, what exactly happened?

Finn: Steffy walked in on my birth mother holding hayes.

Paris: No. Wait, you’re serious? Sheila was here?

Ridge: You asked finn to leave? Why?

Steffy: I just needed some time to think. He’s spending the night in the guesthouse.

Ridge: Oh, well that’s surprising. You guys always seemed to be in sync.

Steffy: Yeah, we are. That’s not the problem.

Ridge: Well, whatever it is, I’m sure you’ll work it out and you’ll be better for it.

Steffy: The sad part is not about finn and me. Our relationship. It’s much worse than that, dad. It’s about sheila.

Think wearing less makeup

means no need for a wipe?

[ Romantic music ]

Quinn: You are a wonderful, loving, sexy man. And you’ve always fulfilled me in the past and I have no doubt that you will again.

Finn: I shouldn’t even have let her into the house, let alone let her hold hayes, our infant son, I mean that’s the most precious thing to steffy.

Paris: So, you didn’t think it through. But you didn’t mean any harm.

Finn: I just– I didn’t consider how dangerous it could be.

Paris: You thought it would be the end of it. The end of sheila in your life.

Finn: I just– I feel awful to have to put steffy through that, I mean after everything sheila has put her family through.

Paris: Yeah, steffy’s got a right to be mad.

Finn: She was just… so disappointed in me.

Paris: Okay, hey. I get it. You know, you made a bad decision and you didn’t think it through but it was a bad decision made by a good guy. A great guy. So, you know, don’t beat yourself up over this.

Finn: I swore up and down that I had everything under control. I mean, we had a whole discussion about it before steffy left on her trip. And what did I do? I went back on my word. And I disregarded her wishes. And I just assured her that everything was gonna be okay.

Paris: Finn, you didn’t ask for this. Alright, you didn’t ask to be sheila’s biological son. She carried you for nine months. And she’s a mystery woman in your life. And you haven’t met her and you meet her for the first time and it’s huge. So I understand why you feel so connected to her. I do.

Ridge: What about sheila?

Steffy: I made it clear to finn how crucial it was that she stayed out of our lives. And I don’t blame him, I mean, I can’t blame him that she’s his biological mom.

Ridge: No you can’T. That’s not his fault.

Steffy: And I don’t want to make him feel guilty that something that’s out of his hands, out of his control. But he promised me– he promised me that she wasn’t gonna be in our lives.

Ridge: What happened?

Steffy: Well, you know how I was supposed to go to san francisco on that business trip?

Ridge: Hope for the future, yeah.

Steffy: I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t–couldn’t go. I didn’t want to go.

Ridge: I get that. You have a new baby. You want to stay home.

Steffy: No. It wasn’t like that mom guilt. No, I had this like… I had this like, panic inside of me. I knew something was wrong, I mean, how could I? It’s like– sheila is out there and she could harm my children. And finn reassured me that nothing was gonna happen, I didn’t have to be afraid.

Ridge: What happened?

Steffy: I was on the plane and before we took off, there was a delay and my motherly intuition, it just kicked in and I knew I had to go, I had to bail. And I didn’t tell finn, I just– I wanted to surprise him but I was the one who got the surprise.

Ridge: Steffy, tell me.

Steffy: Sheila was here, dad. I walked in and sheila was here, in my living room.

Ridge: That monster was here in your house?

Steffy: It was my worst nightmare. Like the biggest thing I’ve ever feared. She was here.

Ridge: No, no, no, no.

Steffy: No, not only was she here, that psychopath was holding my little baby.

Ridge: She was holding hayes?

Steffy: Yes.

Ridge: Where was finn?

Steffy: He was here.

Ridge: He was here the whole time?

Steffy: He was here. He allowed it. He let it happen. -Finally, a make-up made -just for us

Ridge: So you’re telling me that finn allowed sheila to come here to your house, your home, after everything she’s done?

Steffy: He felt pressured.

Ridge: Pressured to do what? Have her hold my grandchild? Really? He knows who she is.

Steffy: I know–

Ridge: She’s caused nothing but havoc for this family.

Steffy: I thought he listened. I thought he understood–

Ridge: He doesn’t listen. Right? After everything we told him, he just ignored it.

Steffy: Finn’s dad was here, too.

Ridge: Jack was here? There’s something off with that guy.

Steffy: Finn said he and sheila were just– I don’t know, they were hounding him.

Ridge: Not an excuse.

Steffy: I know he’s not a bad guy, but maybe he just felt like he was–

Ridge: He was what?

Steffy: He felt like he was in the middle.

Ridge: He has one job. To take care of you, take care of the kids. That’s it. Nothing else.

Finn: I can still see the horror on steffy’s face.

Paris: I’m sorry, finn. This–this whole thing just sucks.

Finn: You know, I trusted my dad. He never steers me wrong.

Paris: I wonder what was going on in his head? Why he was so adamant about you meeting sheila?

Finn: He kept saying that he wasn’t just looking out for steffy and me, but our whole family.

Paris: How so?

Finn: Maybe he feels bad for sheila?

Paris: Because of the adoption?

Finn: Probably painful for her.

[ Sighing ] I know there was only one way to handle today. And I did the complete opposite. I caved. Why did I let myself be manipulated?

Paris: Finn–

Finn: No, paris. This was a colossal screw up. Why didn’t I just say no? Tell her to leave? Now, I’m away from my wife. And steffy’s lost faith in me.

Quinn: We can take this as slowly as you need to.

Eric: Quinn, I’m– I’m sorry. It’s just not gonna work.

Quinn: Aw, come on, eric. Hey, we gotta try, right? I mean, look, I’m just getting started here. You gotta let me work my magic.

Eric: Your magic.

Quinn: Mm-hm.

Eric: You know how much I’ve always loved that. I can’T. I can’t, quinn. I’M… I’m failing both of us here.

Quinn: No, no, no. Don’t say that. Come on. Eric, there are other ways to reconnect. We just have to be more creative.

Eric: It’s been months. It’s been months and I haven’t– I haven’t felt or I haven’t seen any improvement.

Quinn: Okay, okay, well maybe not yet. But we gotta try, all right? You and I, we can do anything together as long as we’ve got love. I want to try. Please? No pressure. No expectations. Scoot over.

[ Romantic music ]

Quinn: No, no. Don’t stop. Let’s keep going.

Eric: Quinn, I love you. I want you. I want you more than anything but I– I can’T. I love– I love how much you want to help me and I love how supportive you are but I–I can’T.

Quinn: Eric, every marriage–

Eric: This isn’t every marriage. This is ours. This is our marriage and it’s not okay. I can’t– I can’t fulfill you.

Quinn: Yes, you can. You fulfill me and you please me in each and every way.

Eric: No, I don’T. Not the way you deserve.

Quinn: Eric, don’t be ridiculous.

Eric: I can’t do this. I can’t be doing this to you. You’re trapped here. You’re trapped here with me with no fulfillment, no sexual fulfillment. You should go!

Quinn: No, eric, don’t say that to me. I love you. And I want you. You are as handsome and as sexy as you always have been to me. And nothing is gonna change that. Nothing. Come here. Come on.

Eric: Oh, god.

Eric: I’m so sorry. I’m sorry.

[ Rainfall ]

Finn: I just should’ve listened to my gut.

Paris: Finn, hey, you made a mistake, all right? But nobody got hurt. Hayes is safe. Everybody’s fine.

Finn: Luckily. But the truth is, I let steffy down.

Paris: Sheila and your pops put you in an impossible position.

Finn: I admitted to steffy that I wanted to see my birth mother one last time. I can’t help it.

Paris: That makes sense.

Finn: All my life, I… I’ve envisioned her. I have these… bonds, these, these wishes and thinking of what it could be and now it’s just turned into this big, ugly mess.

Paris: Well, I’m no therapist. But having experience in social work, I’ve witnessed a lot of loss. And you, my friend, you’re mourning a loss. The loss of the idea you had of her. The relationship you might have had.

Finn: Yeah. And– I just… I feel for her. You know, she just wanted one good memory with her grandson. But… that doesn’t matter. I owe it to my wife to stay true to her wishes.

Paris: I’m sure steffy kicked you out pretty fast.

Finn: She did, she– I tried apologizing again and again, but she’s heartbroken. And she feels betrayed. She says she couldn’t even look at me. Paris, this is stephanie, my wife. The mother of my child. She couldn’t even look at me. What have I done, paris? What have I done?

Ridge: How does finn do that? Give that woman even an ounce of sympathy?

Steffy: I don’t know what he was thinking. I don’t understand how he allowed himself to be talked into it.

Ridge: He’s a grown man, yes? Where’s his backbone?

Steffy: Dad, I’m as disappointed as you are. But he’s not a malicious guy.

Ridge: I’m not saying he’s malicious.

Steffy: Dad, you weren’t there. You don’t– you don’t get it. I feel the exact same way you do. My heart is racing right now. You have no idea what it was like to walk in and see that woman holding my child. I thought she was gonna run away with him. I thought that was her plan. I was like the ultimate revenge on our family.

Ridge: Shh. Okay, okay. Let’s keep it down. We’re gonna figure this out. Let’s stay strong.

Steffy: I’m trying– I’m trying to stay strong. I really am. But I hate it. I hate that sheila is his mom. That she’s my mother-in-law.

Ridge: She’s not. Li is your mother-in-law.

Steffy: Sheila’s sick and twisted dna is in my husband. It’s in my son. My husband is sleeping out in the guesthouse right now and I want him back here. I want him here with hayes and with kelly and me, but every time I look at him now– I see his face and all I see is sheila. That evil face and I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what to do. I just–I feel like I– I’m losing my mind. I feel like I can’t escape it. I don’t know. I don’t know, dad. I really don’t know what to do.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Sighs ] Thank you for the ride. I’m so in the mood for a caprese salad. And bailey can get some sunshine and fresh air while I have some lunch. How long, um, is your meeting gonna be? Maybe we could catch a ride with you? Of course. We’ll have to see. My meeting’s right here. Enjoy your salad.

[ Groans ] Brook lynn! Oh, my god! Are you here for lunch? Let’s sit together. Oh, hi, cutie. It’s so good to see you.

[ Exhales deeply ] Valentin. My man. Pull up a chaise. Soak up some vitamin D. And explain to me why I should vote to keep you the ceo of elq.

[ Indistinct conversations ] King me! Woman, you are a shark! I should have known better than to play with you. This is true. But I’m glad you threw caution to the wind. Ahh. I’ve missed you. So have I. Well, this is definitely an improvement over pentonville. I just wish you were out of the system altogether. It’s a nicer prison, but it’s still a prison. So tell me… how is your new life on the outside? Hey. Hi. Hey. Who’s winning? Your mom.

[ Chuckles ] Everything okay? Yeah, that depends. Um… I got a call from drew. How’d the apartment hunting go? Terrible. We went to seven apartments, and none of them were acceptable. It’s good you have deception. I don’t think this real-estate gig’s gonna pay off for you. Well, considering I’m doing this as a big, fat favor, I’m not really too worried about it. Jordan: I’m relieved to hear mayor collins and her brother arrived safely. Do you have any more intel on who’s been carrying out renault’s orders? Okay, well, send me the prison phone logs. I want to know who cyrus has been talking to. Thanks for meeting me.

[ Soft music plays ]

[ Sighs ] Carly: It’s beautiful. Hey, carly.

[ Gasps ] Yeah. Oh. Were you daydreaming? We’re closed!

[ Door closes ] Mike, mike, mike. Is nina here? No. Huh. She’s not at her place, either. You wouldn’t happen to know what she’s up to you, would you? Aunt liesl. Were you able to make arrangements? It’s all set. I need you to direct peter to the town of soufriere on st. Lucia. It’s large enough that tourists won’t be noticed… but too small for any significant police force. Okay. And once peter gets there? The scourge that is peter august will be eradicated once and for all. I don’t expect nina to tell me where she is every minute of the day. Why — why would she tell you? Oh. So sorry if my question upset you. No, y-you don’t seem sorry about anything. Least of all, me. You’re a very perceptive man, mike. Perhaps it was one of your gifts. You want more of my perception? You had a strong reaction when you first got here… like you were surprised to see me. Your point being? Stop now! You know who I am? Yes. As a matter of fact, I do.

Well, your message sounded urgent. What do we need to talk about? Your wedding. I understand you’re inviting more than just friends and family… that you also have several business associates on your guest list. That’s right. Do you expect trouble? Why? Have you — have you heard something? Cyrus. He may be behind bars, but he’s not sitting there quietly. Listen to me. Please be careful. Peter is gonna be on his guard.

[ Chuckles ] You are kind to worry, niece. But peter is no match for me. His exit is long overdue. No one will miss him. And the world will be better without him in it. If you know who I was before I lost my memory, you better start talking. You know, when I said I “knew” you, mike, what I meant was that I know the type of guys that nina is drawn to. She simply can’t resist. And before I could ask any questions, I heard all this commotion, like a struggle, and then the line went dead. And you believe that it was drew? I don’t know what to think, mom. I — [ Stammers ] I’ve been processing the whole thing, and — yeah, I g– I guess. I believe it was drew. I just have so many unanswered questions about the plane crash. It just — what are you gonna do? I mean, what are you gonna do to answer those questions? Dante’s helping me investigate. Anna actually agreed to let us look at the wsb file on the plane crash. It sounds like you’ve got a lot of support behind you. Ugh. Okay. I don’t want you to think that I have dropped the ball on the hayden barnes investigation. I’m still gonna help you find out who shot her. Sam, finding drew, getting answers once or for all has to be your focus. I wanted to congratulate you, actually, about your — your engagement to jason. It’s — he’s a good man. You’re very fortunate. I am. You kind of remind me of robert and me. Like, you’ve been to hell and back more times than you care to remember. You know, we didn’t make it, but I — I — I really think that you guys are gonna succeed. I just wanted to wish you every happiness. Thank you. Excuse me. Mrs. Corinthos. May I have a word? Of course. Excuse me, anna. Yeah. Hey. Sorry to keep you. Oh, no. Here you go. This is what you need. Thank you. So, that’s all the intel the wsb has on drew’s plane crash. I’m hoping maybe there’s something in there that sam could find or could shed some light, maybe give you an avenue to pursue. Yeah. Did you take a look? No. I thought I’d leave it to you. Ah. Yeah, so let me know. I’m available to help. Appreciate it. Any, uh, theories? Other than the obvious. Peter’s responsible. Either he or someone that works for him has drew. If helena weren’t dead, I would say this were right up her alley. Yeah, I’d say you should send someone to cassadine island. Oh, it’s done. Oh, really? -Yeah. -I was — I was just kidding.

[ Chuckles ] The bureau, they keep that place on their radar. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned… is the past doesn’t stay in the past. Truer words were never spoken. And where were the harbor views? You know, that place I rented before on talmadge was a big loft space. I like the openness. I want something like that but in a trendy area with coffee bars and boutiques. Any of the places lucy showed us today would have been great for you, mom. Yeah. You know, why don’t you reconsider? That one that had those great, big nice windows? I really think the natural light would make you look better. Sounds great for plants. I don’t do plants. Or cats. Or canasta. Next, you’re gonna try and stash me in an old folks’ home. I like the place. It’s better than mine. Gladys: Okay. That’s men for you. Give them a couch, a wide-screen tv, they could live in a cave. Okay, ms. Corbin, I-I did show you properties that were commensurate with your price points. I was instructed to “work within” a very tiny, modest budget. Okay. That’s not my fault. I was shot! In the shoulder. Three months ago. What was that? You’ve already returned to work. In the fashion industry. That’s another thing. I need a place that’s suitable for my new career. Being brook lynn’s assistant at deception, while very important, is still an entry-level position. Which reminds me. When can I expect my first raise? I’m not actually here to pitch myself. I have a bit of a reputation. But you’re not actually a voting shareholder just yet, so we might be getting ahead of ourselves. Why don’t you just tell valentin we ran into each other and decided to have lunch together? That makes total sense. You don’t get it. Valentin is over there trying to pull austin into his camp so he can retain control of elq. We filed a motion. New evidence. Edward left a letter that he was going to change his will. So it’s just a question of time before austin gets his… shares of elq. With all due respect, filing a motion is just the beginning of a very lengthy and contentious process, isn’t it? Well, with equal respect, the evidence is strong. I think the lawsuit’s just a formality. I hope you’re right, because assuming you become a voting shareholder, I am gonna want your support.

Okay, so now that austin found out edward intended to add his father to the will, what’s next? Well, if the judge rules in austin’s favor, then he might be the deciding vote of who gets control of elq, so it will be up to us to try to convince him that keeping the family business in the family is better. Good luck with that. Yeah. My sentiments exactly. I’m so sorry, brook lynn. After everything you did to put your father in charge of the company, and now you’re back at square one. Not entirely. I still get to keep this baby safe. There’s no bigger payoff than that. Elq is thriving on my watch. I’m a very effective ceo. I’ve guarded the bottom line, protected cash flow. I’ve increased profits. And the price of the shares that you are about to receive have actually increased and are very strong, so I would say that replacing me as ceo at this time would be pretty stupid. I mean, anybody can say that they’re a well-meaning, honest, straightforward guy. Doesn’t mean that you are. I think this guy thinks I’m some kind of a hayseed. Hm. Valentin… if you think I’m the guy that just fell off the turnip truck, I’m not. Shawn, no. I said I was gonna help you. I’m going to. Family first, always. If scout’s father is alive, we should probably know about that. I’ll get justice — for me and hayden. Haven’t given up. And I’m not going anywhere. Except to stretch my legs. I’ll let you two talk. But I am coming back for a rematch.

[ Singsong voice ] I’ll be here. He’s great. Yes. He certainly is. Well, you must have a lot of questions. No. I know it was drew’s voice. Anna. A word? Anna: Okay. I’ll be right back. Yeah. Good luck. Thanks. What do you want, mr. Novak? To apologize in person for my nephew joey’s inappropriate behavior. If your nephew approaches my daughter again, he’s gonna find out firsthand why jason has the reputation that he has. Not to worry. I’m making arrangements to send joey out of the country, indefinitely. I hope so. Have no fear. Consider it an early wedding present. You finally set a date. It appears my invitation got lost in the mail. Or is it just too awkward to have sonny’s family at your wedding to jason? Excuse me. Just for a tiny moment. Absolutely. My mother does not know when to quit, does she? Now she’s harassing carly. Carly can handle your mom. Oh, no question. Speaking of carly… maxie mentioned that the wedding is set for september 17th. You haven’t said if you’re going. Is it because you don’t want me to go with you? And there’s no word on that schleim henrik? No. No. I mean, if he’s out there, he’s doing a very good job of staying undercover. What are the chances of him being mercifully dead? It’s a possibility. Isn’t it? But I’ll tell you this much. I’m not giving up until I find him. Dead or alive. When nina sees someone lost or in pain… she feels compelled to help. And I pegged you as her latest charity case from the moment I walked in the door! Say it again! Say it again! Mike! Mike! Stop! Stop! What is going on here?! It’s a difference of opinion, nina. That’s it. Wha– it doesn’t — it doesn’t matter. Okay? Because peter is leaving today. Really? Yes. I was able to get in touch with my contact. The fiction editor for burnside publishing. He agreed to meet you, peter. So if you wait for me outside, I will fill you in. I can’t wait to hear all about it. Best of luck…mike. What? He’s bad news! Peter’s bad news! The bat. I don’t even understand why you even talk to him. Okay, okay. I agree with you, and I am listening to you. But after today, mike… you won’t see peter again. That’s a promise.

-Why did you say to provoke him? -Who cares? Do you really have a lead on my daughter’s whereabouts, or was that little performance all for sonny’s benefit? Yes. I have a lead. Anna and valentin think that your baby is in st. Lucia. And valentin just offered up this information? He wasn’t suspicious at all? Isn’t that why you blackmailed me in the first place? Because you wanted me to exploit valentin’s feelings for me? Don’t act like you care about valentin. Clearly, you’ve moved on.

[ Groans ] I — I told valentin that I was worried about maxie and that I needed to know if they were any closer to finding louise, and that is when he told me about this new lead. Why st. Lucia? If you get new information on that schmutsack, please keep me appraised. I’m going away to a medical conference, and I’m worried about maxie and little james. Didn’t you lose your license? Thank you. I had completely forgotten. I still like to keep up. Anyway, the conference is in st. Lucia. Scott and I are taking advantage of the excuse for a romantic getaway. Once he finishes his meeting at the pool, we’ll be on our way. W-with scott? Oh. Anyway, um… yeah, don’t worry about maxie. I’ll keep my eye out on her. And just, uh, e-enjoy. Oh. I shall.

[ Laughs ] Valentin: So when it comes to elq, I just want to make the company money. Every decision I make as ceo is to further that goal. So the quartermaines can fight and bicker and argue. It’s not gonna make the company suffer at all. That’s a good point. Hello, gentlemen. Could you just excuse us for a moment? I need to speak with my pal, pronto. Oh, for heaven’s sakes, lucy. We’re talking business. Now get lost. Pronto! No worries. Let’s just take a break. Yeah, I could make some phone calls. Thank you. Thank you so much. You…nincompoop! Now… that’s a little harsh. No. No. It’s not a little harsh. I have harsher words for you, and I’ve kept my mouth sealed this whole time. I have been a very good girl, and I haven’t said one single word about your dangerous liaison — your liaison dangereuse with that…obrech! But the fact is, you jetting off to some island with her, that is too far. First of all, it’s “obrecht.” With a “T.” Okay? Unh! You know what? You need to just get a grip. Get a grip right now! Because that woman is icky. And do you know how many times she’s almost ruined the nurses’ ball for me? She is only out for herself. And if you don’t snap out of it, then — then liesl obrech — brech, brech-brech-brech — is gonna be the death of you. Austin: Hey! Maxie. I’ve run into you two days in a row. I think the universe is trying to tell us something. That the metro court has a great pool lunch menu? Brook lynn: We would have invited you over, but, um, you seemed pretty busy over there. Oh, I’m not too busy to stop by and say hi to a friend. Because we’re friends, right, maxie? I’ve recently been made aware that cyrus is up to his old tricks, intent on revenge. Any threats directed at carly or her family? Not so far. Steps have been taken to secure the parties involved. We believe that the threats have been neutralized for the moment. I appreciate the heads-up. I’d appreciate some cooperation. Do you know who’s doing cyrus’ dirty work for him? Any names you might be able to pass along? Gladys, your constant jabs about wanting me to feel guilty about marrying jason, it won’t work. If you knew anything about sonny, you would know that he would be all for this. Sonny would want me to move on and be happy. And sonny trusted jason more than anybody in the whole world. Now, I get that you can’t grasp that concept, and that’s why you’re not invited to my wedding. But we’re family. We’re not family, okay? And you better change your attitude if you hope to be a part of brando and his child’s life. I wasn’t planning to go to carly and jason’s wedding. Why not? I made a promise to keep my distance, and I meant it. You and the baby are my first priority.

[ Sighs ] I appreciate that. But, brando, I would never ask you to give up your family. Bingo. If you continue following up on this, you have to promise me that you’re gonna be careful. I mean, I remember drew to be a very capable and determined guy, but if somebody is holding him up somewhere, you finding him could be dangerous. I promise I’ll be careful.

[ Cellphone rings ] Ohh. Excuse me for a second. Dante. Hey. Are you at the metro court? Hey. Yeah. Are you — are you still coming here? Yeah. I’ll be there. I’m just — I’m with my mom right now. Were you able to get the file? I did, and, uh, you should get down here. There’s something you got to see. Okay. I’ll be right there.

hey. Uh, wow. That was fast. Well, you said there was something I needed to see? Yeah, there’s — hey, sam. Hi. Yeah. You should sit, too. You both should hear this. -Okay. You found something? -Hear what? Well, we knew that drew found andre maddox in ethiopia and sent andre home while he continued on to afghanistan alone, but what we didn’t know is that drew chartered a flight in addis ababa. We — we — we know that drew wasn’t flying commercial. I don’t see the significance right now. A charter flight could have multiple passengers. Drew wasn’t alone. There was another passenger on that flight. Ooh-hoo. Your move. Oh. Right.

[ Clears throat ] You know what? Let’s stop. Neither one of us is paying attention anyway. Because of sam? Because of sam, because of you. You were very gallant. I know you are disappointed. And you let her walk away with a clear conscience. You’re good guy. You know that? Well, the one thing I learned in prison was patience. But I didn’t tell you the other part of the story. Mm-hmm. What part? Hayden’s mother, naomi, she comes to town with some story about how hayden abandoned violet. And next thing we know, she was murdered. Wha– hayden’s mother was killed? It would seem someone wanted to keep her from talking about hayden. Hmm. Do you think whoever wanted hayden shot six years ago is still after her? I don’t know, alexis. If I keep at this, maybe I’ll uncover more than I bargained for. “If”? Jordan thinks I should let it go. Focus on my present and future. I don’t know. Maybe she’s right. Jordan’s a very smart woman. Of course she’s right. Too bad you won’t listen to her. This is the first time I’m hearing about threats from cyrus. Are you sure your sources are good? They’re good. But cyrus’ organization has been dismantled. Is it possible that cyrus still has an ally on the outside? Can you be 100% certain that no one in the five families would work with him? There’s a difference being part of a family and being part of the mob. I don’t know. With sonny, there was barely daylight between the two. And I don’t think carly and jason are gonna be much different. Look at michael. Look at dante. Okay. I-I think, being a cop, dante counts as a special case. Okay, but you get what I’m saying. Right? Yes, I want us to have our own life with our child unconnected to the mob. But sonny was your cousin. His kids are your family. And by extension, so are carly and jason. I would never ask you to completely cut ties with them. You’re amazing. Lucy! I thought you’d left. Not that anyone could blame you. Well, I decided to make a visit to the pool.

[ Sighs ] Well, I don’t blame you, either. It sounds like apartment hunting with gladys was taxing. Mm. Look. I-I pride myself on being very professional. It’s just — all I can give is my hard-won words of wisdom. I cannot help it if certain people don’t listen to me. Maxie has more friends than she knows what to do with. Right, maxie? Not sure she needs another one. -Is that true? -It is. Maxie, you think that’s true?

[ Sighs ] Look, it’s not your fault that every time I see you, I think of louise. I’m always gonna be grateful you were there that night to help bring her into the world. But that was the same night I lost her. I’m sorry. No, don’t be sorry. Not at all. I mean, that’s a real trauma. I should have considered that. Forgive me. I won’t intrude. Oh, my god. He is so into you! Can nina and I take you out to dinner tonight? Oh! That’s good news. No, she’s, uh — she’s outside with that peter guy. Yeah. Don’t like that guy at all. But, uh, he’s — he’s leaving. He’s leaving today. So that’s good. Matter of fact, if she doesn’t come in here real soon… I’m gonna go out there myself and send him packin’. Using her sources at wsb, anna tracked a woman with an infant who traveled from albany, new york, aken. This woman, she rented a cottage on the outskirts of this town called soufriere, st. Lucia. U happen to getthe me of this woman? Peter, what possible reason could I have to ask valentin the name of the woman? Well, how sure is valentin that this “lead” is legitimate? Anna and valentin are going to st. Lucia tomorrow. Tomorrow. That means I can still get there before them.

Bon voyage. -[ Gasps ] -If you’re lying to me, nina… I swear you won’t be the only one who suffers.

[ Gasps ] Because I — I know that you’re capable of anything, peter. I wouldn’t dare double-cross you.

-sonny’s death created unrest. -Yeah. I’m glad to see you and carly acting to shore up your interests. Well, carly and I are getting married. That’s — that’s all. There are many reasons two people join their lives. A wedding is a statement to the world of a couple’s strength and commitment. Believe me when I say… I’m wishing you and carly the best in your future together. Thank you. And, really, thanks again for the update.

[ Jason sighs ] I know you, and I know you’re not walking away from this. Yeah. You’re right. I can’t let it go, especially after hayden’s mother was killed. Yeah, I know what it’s like to dig into something myself. So here’s what I’m thinking. Maybe we could work together on this. I mean, I know I’m not a P.I. Hell, I’m not even free. But we made a good team when we were digging up information to expose judge carson, so I was thinking maybe we could do it again. What do you say? All right. Can I ask you something? What’s with this report? It’s like five pages long. Right. I know. I thought the same thing. It’s more like window dressing than a working investigation. But, then, if you think about it, drew’s plane went down over the gulf of aden. There was minimal wreckage, no bodies. What are they investigating? Wait. Dante’s right. There was another passenger on the plane. It just doesn’t say the name. That’s interesting. Yeah, I thought that was weird, too. There’s a transaction here that says that there was a seat reserved and paid for by a corporation — lethe unlimited. Why does that sound familiar? Where have we heard that company before? Are you guys up for another round of apartment hunting?

[ Chuckles ] No. Are you — are you talking about another round with your unreasonable standards? I-I’m sorry if I was critical before. Oh, really? “If”? The I-f word? If? If? No. I — I realize I need to get ready for my grandbaby, and I’m sure you can find me the perfect apartment. Maybe with a “friends and family” discount. Okay. All right. Thank you, lucy, so much. But I think we’ve had enough for today. I think we’ve had enough for a lifetime. Pardon me. Ta! Well, that was rude. I need a drink. I am so sorry about her. I — hey. I’m with lucy. Stop apologizing. Besides, gladys has a major redeeming quality. Her son. Ah, I think you might have broken austin’s heart, but props to you for tactfully getting that guy away without raising suspicion. Um, everything I said was the truth. I just left out the part about how I’m terrified that he’ll somehow remember seeing us together that night. Well, for now at least, I think he’ll steer clear of you. Good. So, where were we? Uh, you were saying something that’s true. I’m not a big fan of the quartermaine infighting. I’m more than happy to stay on the periphery. Well, that is what I’m offering you. Quiet above the fray. By all means, claim what’s rightfully yours, but you don’t have to become the very thing you hate. Ta-da!

[ Gasps ] A private jet? Scott: Yes. Yes. I-I wanted to, you know, go all-out for my…

schnitzel. It’s too much. You shouldn’t have. Uh, no. Nothing. Nothing is too good for us. Here you go. And…

[ Glasses clink ]

[ Glasses clink ] What’s wrong? Nothing. Only my regret that this trip isn’t just pleasure for me. Oh. Right. Right, right. The huntington’s conference. Well, I — you know… I just want you to also be able to enjoy a little island time. Once my business is concluded, I promise… I will definitely enjoy myself. I found it. In one of my closed case files. Lethe unlimited. Which case?

[ Exhales sharply ] Nina reeves. Oh! Good, good. ‘Cause I was just gonna get you. Is he gone? Yeah, uh, the interview, it — it came through, so peter, he left. You’re all right? Oh, yeah. Good. You know, I just don’t know. I don’t understand peter. This guy is, like, creepy. Why are you — why are you helping them? I-I owed him a favor. And now my — my debt is paid. So can we — can we not talk about peter anymore? Did you check in on phyllis? Well, phyllis is going out to dinner with janice. Oh. Really? Well, that’s great. I’m glad. And since, you know, phyllis is out and, um, the bar’s closed because of lenny’s death, I thought that, you know… we deserve… a little time. You know. I like the way you think. So… will you go out to dinner with me?

Uh, when did you investigate nina? It was before she came to port charles. Nina’s then-husband, silas clay, hired me to figure out where madeline reeves was keeping her comatose daughter. That’s it! What? Lethe unlimited. It was the operating company for crichton-clark, which was the facility where nina was a patient. That is the same place that drew was held — before robin revived him and helped him escape. Small world. Or not. Jordan. Hey. Thanks for waiting for me. Of course. Everything okay? Ah, for the most part. Uh, jordan, I gave some thought to what you said about me moving on with my life. Your points are valid — reasonable and practical. I’m glad that you see it that way. I do. I just can’t move on until I know the truth. And to get the truth, I’m gonna need your help. You make some valid points, and I promise you that I will take them all into consideration. Don’t need an answer right now, but I do appreciate your time. My poor father. Austin’s definitely going with valentin. I’ll be in touch. I’m so sorry, brook lynn. Valentin can be convincing and charismatic when he wants to be. Fortunately for me… I’ve got an ace in the hole. Who? Where’s the bartender when you need him?! The hospitality in this place could definitely use an upgrade. I saw you talking to mrs. Corinthos earlier. Oh, she won’t be a corinthos for long, and good riddance. Not a fan? Oh, her late husband, may he rest, was my cousin. You’re related to sonny. Ah. And we were like this. Carly isn’t showing proper respect. Remarrying after my wonderful cousin’s been gone less than a year? I mean, I’ve been civil, but it’s wasted on carly. The woman has no class! Bartender! A drink for the lady. Is everything okay? Cyrus is making a move. Are you asking me out on a date? Well, it’s something we haven’t had a chance to do. You know, just the two of us. Like we’re they only two people in the whole world. Aren’t we? How about for tonight we are? Just you and me? Look. I know that we’ve had some kind of tough times lately, right? But maybe now… maybe now everything’s gonna be okay. Why wouldn’t it be? Huh?

[ Rumbling ] Maybe we should wait for this turbulence to stop.

[ Rattling ] Everything’s fine. Look. The plane’s steady now. Nothing to worry about. Just a little turbulence.

[ Alarm blaring ]

[ Liesl screams ]

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Abby: Where are they taking him?

Mariah: Is he okay?

Devon: Can we see him again?

Nate: We’re sending him to the nursery so we can give him a bath and run some tests. Perfectly normal. Nothing to worry about.

Devon: But he looks healthy, right?

Nate: Has all his fingers and toes, scored high on the apgar test, lungs sound great.

Mariah: Is there anything else that I need to do?

Nate: Yes, and this is very important. Rest. You and the baby are safe, and you’re surrounded by people who love you. Now all you have to do is let us take care of you.

Devon: Listen, nate, I don’t even know what to say about today, man.

Abby: I do. Thank you.

Mariah: For everything.

Devon: Yeah.

Nate: No, you three did all the hard work. You brought a baby into this world under less than ideal circumstances. Congratulations to you all. I’ll be back shortly.

Devon: Thanks again, man.

Mariah: So crazy. I thought I was never getting out of that room. Some nameless, faceless monster snatched me up off the street. I was afraid that they were only keeping me alive until after the baby was born. After I gave birth to bowie, i wouldn’t be of use to them anymore, so…

Abby: Well, that sounds awful.

Mariah: So, you’re telling me it was stitch. All along, he was the one who was keeping me prisoner?

Devon: That’s — that’s what it’s looking like.

Mariah: Why would he do that?

Rey: And if anything looks promising, send it my way. I want to be the first to know. Thanks.

Victor: Um…

Rey: He was there. Stitch was right there at the house where he was holding mariah, minutes before I got there. But he took off, and now there’s no sign of him.

Chloe: Do you know what time it is?

Sally: Why does that feel like a trick question?

Chloe: [ Laughs ] It is time for you to officially meet my friend and business partner, chelsea lawson.

Chelsea: Hello!

Chloe: Hey, you. I have someone here I want you to meet.

Sally: Chelsea! I’m sally spectra. I — [ Sighs ] This is such a pleasure. I just want you to know how excited I am to be working for you and chloe. I have followed the evolution of your lines for years. Chelsea by jabot was a revelation. The line that you did for forrester really, really set the bar, and then the chelsea 2.0 line, I mean, there was a certain whimsy to it, yet it was grounded and sophisticated. I… I just consider it an honor to be working with you.

Chelsea: And I would consider it a miracle if you came up for air.

[ Chuckles ] Uh, look, I haven’t even decided if I’m taking the position yet, so…

Sally: Oh. But I —

Chloe: Sorry. Wait, wait a minute. Um, we talked about this. You are the reason why i accepted adam’s offer at newman. You and I were going to work together again when you came back. I mean, did you think that i just accepted the job just to torture adam?

Chloe: Listen, chloe, i appreciate all the hard work you’ve put into the platform, but at this point, I can’t really commit.

Nick: Hey.

Phyllis: Hey. Ah, I’m so bummed out that i missed your text about takeout.

Nick: It’s a damn shame. I had to eat it all myself.

Phyllis: You ordered all my things. Oh, I’m sorry I was tied up.

Nick: That’s alright. Yeah, um, sally actually made a point of telling me that. She said you were with jack.

Phyllis: Sally — I mean, i thought I got rid of her when i booted her out of this hotel. She continues to antagonize me.

Nick: Oh, I know what she’s up to. She’s upset that you uncovered her plan to drive summer away, and she’s trying to get back at you.

Phyllis: By trying to make you jealous of my friendship with jack, which is ridiculous.

Nick: I do have a question, though.

Phyllis: Yeah, what is it?

Nick: Just forget about sally’s agenda and be honest.

Phyllis: I’m always honest with you.

Nick: I know. If I wasn’t in the picture, would you be tempted to get back together with jack? Hi. So you’re the scientist here.

Additional sponsorship

provided by…

Phyllis: I mean, I usually like your games. I mean, I excel at them, but this game is hypothetical. It’s weird. I don’t want to answer that. Why are you asking me that? You know that sally is jerking your chain.

Nick: It’s got nothing to do with her. Just trying to have an honest conversation.

Phyllis: Well, I’m being honest. But why a conversation like this, with this hypothetical question? I mean, you are in the picture. And I love you. So I don’t understand where this is coming from. It’s like me asking you, “hey, if I wasn’t in the picture, could you see yourself with sharon?” Could you? No, I’m just kidding.

[ Laughs ] I mean, it’s pointless. Come on.

Nick: I’m just curious. Can you just humor me?

Phyllis: Jack is my friend. We share a bond, and that’s it. Okay? You’re not threatened by him, are you?

Nick: Of course not. I’m extremely confident in our relationship.

Phyllis: Good, because I am a one-man woman, and you are the man for me.

[ Video call ringing ]

Adam: [ Sighs ] Chelsea.

Chelsea: Hey. How’s everything going?

Adam: It’s busy. Is your mother doing better?

Chelsea: She’s on the mend. Is connor doing okay now that camp is over?

Adam: He’s enjoying the rest of his summer, and he’s actually looking forward to going back to school. I think he’s found some comfort in a normal routine.

Chelsea: Well, thank you for maintaining structure for him while I got the help I needed and found my footing.

Adam: Well, he loves you. He needs you in his life, chelsea. I want that for him. And for you.

Chelsea: You sound like you mean it.

Adam: Because I do.

Chelsea: Hey, listen, so there’s another reason for my call. I just spoke to chloe about this woman that she hired, sally spectra. I just had a video chat with her.

Adam: Uh-huh. So what do you think?

Chelsea: I’m not so sure about her.

Adam: Why not?

Chelsea: Have you seen her résumé? Have you looked into her track record?

Adam: I’ve heard a thing or two.

Chelsea: She created her own company, then goes to work at forrester, then abruptly leaves la for genoa city. She apparently burned a bunch of bridges because she was quick to take the job as lauren’s assistant and then somehow gets herself promoted to head of jcv. And then it only took lauren, what, two minutes to see right through her and fire her?

Adam: Well, I think newman media is a better fit.

Chelsea: Okay, I understand that chloe saw something in her worth taking a chance on, and i understand being in the position to need that, but I talked to that girl for less than a minute and I could tell that she was a master manipulator with blind ambition with a total lack of scruples.

Adam: And you got all of that from one conversation?

Chelsea: I know you’ve given chloe free rein to run the fashion platform, but this sally deserves a second look.

Adam: You have nothing to worry about. Chloe’s in charge of the division, but believe, I have my eye on everything.

Mariah: Stitch, the doctor, he ignored me while I was screaming for help? He made me terrified that I was gonna die all while trying not to upset the child that I was carrying.

Abby: Well, apparently, he thought that if he abducted you, then he could rescue you and he would be a hero in my eyes.

Mariah: I went into labor all alone. I was terrified that I was gonna have to bring bowie into this world all by myself. I want him locked up forever for what he did to me and what could’ve happened to bowie. Please tell me that he’s not gonna get away with this.

Devon: Mariah, the police are on top of it, so he’s gonna get found.

Elena: Hey, everyone. So only two visitors are allowed at a time right now, and there are two people anxiously waiting to see mariah, so I’m gonna have to ask you to step out.

Devon: Oh, yeah.

Abby: We’ll be right back.

Tessa: Oh, my god.

Sharon: Sweetheart.

Tessa: I knew you’d come back to me.

Sharon: Oh, goodness. Thank god. You have idea…

Tessa: Oh, I missed you.

Mariah: I missed you more, i promise.

Sharon: I’m just glad that you’re back with us, safe.

Mariah: Me, too, mom. I was socared. Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection,

Nick: I’m sorry. I’m sorry. That’s not what I meant. I did not mean to make you uncomfortable.

Phyllis: Okay, thanks. That makes me think of victoria, though. You know, how difficult it must be for her to be in love with somebody who doesn’t have a lot of time. It helps that he’s a millionaire. But she’d probably want to savor every moment, don’t you think? And then there’s the interference from helpful relatives.

Nick: I wish I could leave it alone, you know? I wish I could trust victoria’s instincts when it comes to ashland, but I can’t shake this feeling that he can’t be trusted. I mean, why does this wedding have to happen so fast? It doesn’t make sense. There’s got to be more to the story.

Phyllis: I understand, but if she’s happy, just let her be happy.

Nick: I wish I felt that way for all the reasons you said. I do. You know, when you find love, you got to grab onto it.

Phyllis: I know you’re worried about your sister, and i think that’s beautiful. And I’m the last person to judge you for running interference after what I did, so I’m not gonna argue with you, okay?

Nick: [ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, it’s my dad. Hey, dad.

Victor: Hi, my boy. I just wanted you to know that you’re an uncle once again. Abby is a mother.

Nick: Great. That’s awesome. What about mariah?

Victor: Mariah and the baby are resting comfortably at memorial, alright? You know, they’ve all been through an enormous ordeal, as you know.

Nick: Alright, well, I want to see them.

Victor: I would hold off with that. Let them rest a little. I’ll fill you in on the details.

Nick: Yeah, yeah, cool. Well, thanks for calling, and congratulations, grandpa.

Victor: [ Laughs ] Talk to you later.

Phyllis: Good news?

Nick: The best.

Nate: Hey, cuz. You good?

Devon: Hey. Yeah, yeah, I am good. Really good. I was just thinking about how happy I am that you answered the phone when I called you.

[ Both laugh ]

Nate: Oh, man, I can — I can only imagine the voicemail you would have left me.

Devon: Oh, dude, I wouldn’t have known what to do.

Nate: Well, definitely a call I’m glad I didn’t miss.

Devon: Yeah, me too. And I just — I want to tell you again how grateful I am that you were there for us and helped us out and just how calm and professional you were through that whole thing, ’cause it was — it’s a lot. It’s really something, man, seeing a new life come into the world like that. Like, even though I was focused on helping mariah and making sure the baby was okay, I could still register that there was a miracle happening.

Nate: Yeah.

Devon: You know?

Nate: Does something to you.

Devon: It was crazy. Then to get hold him in my arms until he stopped crying, I felt that connection instantly with him. And just staring into his big eyes. Just sitting here, it’s got me reliving the whole thing. I mean, thinking about all sorts of — thinking about my time with hilary, everything we shared. I’m probably not making sense. I’m all over the place.

Nate: No, no, no. That baby is carrying a part of you. And you helped bring him into this world. I think you’re making perfect sense.

Sharon: I know how awful this must have been for you, and I was so scared for you. We all were. But you were my brave girl and you got yourself and the baby through this. You know what? We can talk about all this later. I’m gonna give you two some private time.

Tessa: You okay?

Mariah: Yeah, I am now.

Tessa: I love you so much.

Mariah: Oh. I felt you there with me, you know?

Tessa: I felt you, too. I said so many prayers and made promises. Just please let me see her face again, and I’ll spend the rest of my life looking at that beautiful face. And now you’re here. And I’m never gonna let you go again. Is now a good time for a flare-up?

Abby: Dad.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Abby: I thought you left.

Victor: No, I went shopping.

Abby: For me?

Victor: Have a seat.

Abby: [ Chuckles ]

Victor: No, not for you. For my grandson. But I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if you opened it.

Abby: Aww.

Victor: You know, it so reminds me of the one that you played with when you were a toddler.

Abby: Oodles. Yeah, I remember him.

[ Both laugh ]

Victor: I hope your son will love stuffed animals as much as you do.

Abby: Thank you. And thank you for bringing in your investigators.

Victor: I’d do anything for you.

Abby: I know that feeling now because I have a baby of my own.

Victor: I’m so happy for you. Now, I know you’re gonna have to, you know, be concerned with mariah and the baby and visit them and take care of them, and, um… but I am so looking forward to my first visit. Okay?

Abby: So am I.

Victor: You take care, alright?

Abby: Alright.

Victor: And get some rest, you know.

Abby: I will. I love you, dad.

Victor: I adore you. And remember, first visit better come soon.

Abby: Soon.

Devon: Mr. Newman.

Abby: [ Sighs, chuckles ] Did we really just do that?

Devon: I think we really did just do that, yeah. I think so. I know, it’s all still sinking in. It’s probably gonna make sense to us in like 10 years when we look back on everything. Or it never will.

Abby: No.

Devon: Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] No. All I know is that you said you wanted a family, and then we all came together and we made that perfect little boy. And we got to witness him being born. Doesn’t get much better than that, you know? I’m just so incredibly thankful that things didn’t turn out worse, ’cause it could’ve.

Abby: I know, I was just thinking the same thing. Because of stitch, our innocent little baby might not have been able to come into this world. You know, you didn’t just help create him, you saved his life, because you listened to your instincts. I mean, me, I was too bowled over by ben’s kindness to see what was going on until it was almost too late.

Devon: Don’t do that. You don’t need to start blaming yourself, abby. There’s no one would have been able to predict that stitch would do something that damn crazy. Nobody. He’s always been a trustworthy guy and a good guy. I wouldn’t even let myself believe it at first.

Abby: But you — you sensed that something was off and you had the courage to act on your suspicions.

Devon: The two of you were married, and he definitely played a lot on that, so you don’t have anything to feel guilty about. Hell, you’re the one that came through and found mariah. Between you doing that and nate coaching us through everything, that baby is okay and safe because of what we all did together.

Elena: I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen you smile this much.

Nate: [ Sighs ] Coaching my cousin through childbirth was not the way i expected this day to go.

Elena: But it was a very special surprise, wasn’t it?

Nate: I think this experience had a profound effect on devon. You know, not just witnessing a newborn making his way into this world, but, uh…a baby he’s connected to, you know, that’s carrying a part of him. I think it him in ways he wasn’t expecting.

Elena: Because of the baby he lost with hilary.

Nate: Devon’s already got a bond with this child. Something deep, meaningful.

Elena: I am so happy for devon.

Nate: Hey, I got to tell you, though, this kid is lucky to have devon in his life right from the start.

[ Both laugh ]

Elena: Definitely.

Nate: Oh, man. There is so many ways this could’ve gone wrong, given the circumstances. But I am thoroughly impressed. They all kept their heads. They did it.

Elena: Yeah, with your help.

Nate: I’m not sure how much i helped.

Elena: What? You stayed calm and you shared your knowledge and you gave everyone the confidence they needed. I am so grateful that it all turned out okay and so happy for everyone involved. And I couldn’t be prouder of you.

Sally: Phyllis, wow, someone really ought to put a bell around your neck.

Phyllis: I’d like to put something around your neck.

Sally: Oh. Can you say that a little louder? Maybe someone can record you, and then I can actually use it as —

Phyllis: I have one message for you — you stay away from my man.

Sally: Wow. Insecurity, it’s astonishing.

Phyllis: That is your first and final warning.

Sally: What on earth set you off? I mean, I actually barely even remember the last time that i saw h– oh, no. No, no, no, I actually do remember. Nick was planning a romantic surprise for the two of you, but you were too busy fawning all over jack, so eager to claim your place in his life.

Phyllis: Okay, you don’t know what you’re talking about. Jack and I are —

Sally: In the past. Yeah, I agree, and it would probably be healthier for the two of you if you learned to move on ’cause, otherwise, just seems inappropriate.

Phyllis: Wait, you’re telling me something’s inappropriate?

Sally: You couldn’t stand how much jack was into me, that i actually made him happy.

Phyllis: You keep coming at me like some delusional plan of retaliation, and that’s not a good idea, I am telling you. Haven’t you had enough? Isn’t this over for you?

Sally: I’m still here, aren’t I? I brought in ensure max protein,

“The young and the restless”

will continuE.

Phyllis: Wow. You are really full of yourself, aren’t you?

Sally: I have a right to be, ’cause despite all your attempts to ruin my life, I actually landed on my feet.

Phyllis: Oh, sally, come on. Chloe threw you a bone. And adam, he likes working with the town pariah. You’re delusional, completely delusional. Oh, chloe is smart and tough. Obviously, she doesn’t mind dealing with a two-faced opportunist.

Sally: Yeah, we have that in common.

Phyllis: Yeah, and once you do something completely underhanded — and you will — you will be cut off.

Sally: You keep telling yourself that if it makes you feel better, but the truth is, chloe actually knows how valuable I am and she’s not too much of a hypocrite to give me an opportunity to make a name for myself on a fashion platform that just so happens to be a part of a powerhouse media company, so, yes, it’s a fantastic opportunity. And just so you know, adam and I, we’ve got no issues. We actually really get each other.

Phyllis: Oh.

[ Laughs ]

Sally: What?

Phyllis: You and adam “get each other.” Oh, wow. This is great. I’m — I’m actually envisioning this whole thing playing out. Wow. You know the best part of it is when karma comes knocking at your door and takes you out.

Sally: It’s gonna be so much fun proving you wrong.

Phyllis: Yeah, it’s gonna be a lot of fun, that’s for sure. You know what? You go ahead and you do your thing with adam. Be besties with adam, it’s great. But…I’m telling you, okay? Get out of my orbit. Get out of my life. I don’t want to hear my name mentioned by you, or your stay in this town will come to a very abrupt end. Do you get that?

Tessa: [ Humming ]

Sharon: Hey, how’s our girl?

Tessa: She’s still pretty anxious, but at least she’s able to let go and get some rest that she really needs.

Sharon: Every minute she was away from us must have been a nightmare for her.

Tessa: I just wish I could make it all go away.

Sharon: You know what? We’re gonna do our best and we’re gonna help her get through this.

Tessa: Um, will you sit with her for a little while? I just have to run home and grab some things for her, and I — I don’t want her waking up alone.

Sharon: Of course.

Tessa: We’ll take shifts. I’ll see you soon.

Sharon: Okay.

Devon: Hey, tessa.

Tessa: I want to say thank you for finding mariah and bringing her home to me.

Devon: Tessa, you know you don’t have to thank us for that. You know how much we love her.

Tessa: I’m just really grateful that mariah has so many people that care about her. Um, okay. I’m going to go home and grab some things for her, but before I go, do you happen to know where the chapel is?

Devon: I think it’s on the third floor. Why?

Tessa: Well, sharon and i prayed really hard for mariah to come home, so I think it’s time for me to say thanks.

Devon: See ya.

Nick: Hey, have you heard?

Adam: Hmm?

Nick: We got a new nephew. Newest addition to the newman family and the abbotts and the chancellors.

Adam: Ah. Yeah, pedigree like that, kid’s got his work cut out for him.

Nick: Yeah, christian’s gonna be so fired up when he hears he’s got a new little cousin to show the ropes to.

Adam: Um, speaking of our ever-growing family, victoria and locke?

Nick: Yeah. An october wedding.

Adam: What’s your take?

Nick: You know, vick seems like she’s in love, and from all appearances, it seems like ashland is, too.

Adam: Come on, you’re being vague because you’re too polite to say that you are less than thrilled.

Nick: Vick seems happy. That’s all I care about. And they don’t know how much time they have left together, so I guess they should make it official, right?

Adam: Unless there’s a reason why they shouldn’T. I mean, how much do we really know about ashland locke?

Nick: Man, I have been asking myself that over and over again.

Adam: Mm.

Sally: Nick, good to run into you again. Hi, boss.

Nick: Got to go. See ya.

Adam: Yep. You know, I get the feeling he does not care for you.

Sally: Yeah, he’s still miffed about the whole summer thing, but don’t worry, I will turn things around. I love a challenge. In fact, adam, you have inspired me.

Adam: I don’t know if I’ve ever heard my name and the word “inspired” in the same sentence.

Sally: Well, you told me that instead of wasting my energy on putting phyllis in her place that I should focus on making a name for myself.

Adam: Oh, no. What have I unleashed?

Sally: Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Adam: So, are you gonna tell me what your plan is?

Sally: We’ll see.

Adam: [ Chuckles ] As someone who resembles someone else…

Abby: So, I was thinking that since mariah can only have two visitors right now, and sharon’s in there, that maybe…

Devon: [ Chuckles ] What are you waiting for, mama? Get in there. Go ahead. I was actually gonna — gonna give lily a call ’cause she has no idea what’s happened.

Abby: Oh, she’s gonna be shocked.

Devon: Oh, yeah, she is. She’s gonna want to come and visit the little guy. God. I wish that — I wish neil was here to meet him, you know?

Abby: Well, I have no doubt that neil is here with us right now, and he is smiling on our perfect little boy.

Devon: Yeah.

Adam: Come on, you have to give me a hint on what I have inspired you to do to make a name for yourself.

Sally: It is something that will be good for the fashion platform and newman media.

Adam: Well, I hope that means you have officially abandoned the idea of seeking revenge on phyllis.

Chloe: We have too much to achieve to waste time on personal vendettas.

Adam: That’s exactly what i told her. Especially since tomorrow is the official, very public launch of newman media and we need to be ready to hit the ground running.

Chloe: We are more than ready.

Adam: Good. Uh, I’m heading back to the office, so I’ll see you in the morning. I suggest you come in early.

Chloe: Why on earth would you tell him that you are thinking about going after phyllis?

Sally: It’s fine. I agreed with him that it would be a waste of time, and i promised him that I would channel all my energy into newman because I appreciate what a wonderful and rare opportunity this is, and I’m not gonna blow it. But I do get the feeling that chelsea may not be on board with me being a part of this.

Chloe: No, she is. She just… it takes her a while to get used to people, but trust me, she will come around once she sees how talented you are.

Sally: But she said that she may not even want to join us.

Chloe: She will. But there has been a lot of upheaval in her life lately. You know how it is. But I am not gonna let her say anything but yes to working with us.

Abby: Well, chance, you are a dad. Just like you always wanted. And I have no way of letting you know. It breaks my heart. I just wish you were here to meet your son.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ] Hi.

Elena: Hi. Guess who’s ready for his feeding.

Abby: Oh. Well, you don’t work in pediatrics. This is outside your hospital duties.

Elena: I know. I volunteered to help with this little guy. I was so excited, I couldn’t stay away. Though he is very hungry.

Abby: Oh. Well, um, mariah and I, we had all these birth plans, but then everything went out the window when things went haywire.

Elena: What was your feeding plan?

Abby: Mariah was gonna pump, but, um, if he’s hungry, then we should supplement with formula for now.

Elena: I came prepared. First…here is your son. There we go.

Abby: Hi. Ohh. You remember me?

[ Chuckles ] Isn’t he the most amazing baby in the world?

Elena: Here. Enjoy. The first feeding only happens once.

Abby: [ Sighs ] My plaque psoriasis…

Chloe: Hey, gorgeous. Look, I know you have a lot going on, but it’s time for you to make some decisions. It’s time for you to reclaim your life.

Chelsea: I’ve got reservations about working with sally.

Chloe: Fine. Come home, spend some time with her, see if you think that she is a good fit, but don’t talk like you’re not gonna take the job because then you don’t get an opinion.

Chelsea: I’ve heard things about her.

Chloe: Well, she has heard some things about us, too, but I’m telling you, she is talented and she is motivated and hungry.

Chelsea: [ Sighs ] I don’t know. I need to think about it.

Chloe: Chelsea, time is running out. Life is moving on, and you have to make the decision if you are going to move on, too. Newman media is launching tomorrow. Come home. Work with me, like we planned. We can only hold onto this position for so long. I’ve got sally here. I’m just afraid that if you don’t join us soon, we’re gonna be forced to move on without you.

Sally: Knock knock.

Adam: I think you’re supposed to say that before you come in.

Sally: Huh, never really been one for tradition.

Adam: Hmm. Surprised to see you here so late.

Sally: Well, I took a break from plotting phyllis’ downfall to do some actual work. I didn’t realize the newman media launch party was tomorrow night until you mentioned it, so I thought i should have something to show you.

Adam: You do realize that i leave all the fashion decisions up to chloe.

Sally: Yeah, but maybe I want your opinion. Maybe I just want to show you this because it’s perfect for the launch.

Adam: [ Sighs ] It’s good. It’s good. You really are talented, sally spectra.

Sally: Wow, don’t sound so surprised.

Adam: No, we will definitely use this. So, now that I’ve complimented your work, are you going to tell me what you plan to do to make a name for yourself?

Sally: Not ready to share that just yet, but keep the word “spectacular” in the back of your head.

Adam: I’m determined to get this out of you. So I was thinking that you might like to accompany me to the party to celebrate the official launch of newman media tomorrow. Do you have any interest?

Sally: We’ll see.

Abby: You are the bravest baby in the world. Absolute perfection. Look at your little eyes. It’s like you know all the secrets of the universe. I have never loved anyone as much as I love you. I have waited my entire life for you. And I have so much to tell you, but I know you’ve had a very busy day, so I’ll let you rest now. Mommy’s here. Mommy’s got you.

Jack: Chad, it’s good to see you.

Chad: Yeah, it’s good to see you too, jack. It’s been a while.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. I’m, um–I’m sorry about that.

Chad: Uh, brought you something. Thomas made it for you at, uh– at art camp.

Jack: Hm.

[Chuckles] Well, you know, I–I was just thinking, I–I needed a new paperweight.

Chad: [Chuckles] It’s a–it’s a good save, yeah. It, um–it exploded in the kiln, and, uh, that’s what was left.

Jack: Well, I’m thrilled he’s even thinking about me.

Chad: Well, I’m hoping the vase he makes for, uh–for abby is more successful. And survives the trip to boston, if necessary.

Jack: Right.

Chad: Have you talked to her?

Jack: Uh, abigail, yeah, I did this morning.

Chad: Did she say anything? Is she, uh–is she ever coming home?

[Door opens]

Gwen: What’s all this?

Xander: I took the liberty of ordering more oysters, so, uh, why don’t you lose the robe and get back into bed? We can gobble up this lot… and then each other.

Gwen: [Laughs] I don’t think so.

Melinda: How the hell did you get the charges dropped against xander cook?

Ej: I made a motion to dismiss, the judge complied.

Melinda: He did not throw out this case based on merit. I put it together myself. The dimera family used its influence to overrule the justice system again.

Ej: Has it entered your mind that I might just be better at my job than you are at yours?

Melinda: [Chuckles] A lot has changed since you last lived in salem. Your father’s dead now.

Ej: I’m aware of that.

Melinda: You may think you and your family can get away with perverting justice, but I’m putting you on notice. Your days of running roughshod over the people in this town are over.

Tripp: Well, looks like we’re the first ones here.

Allie: [Sighs] Yeah. Did chanel go home to change?

Tripp: No, just to get the new guy. You ready for his name?

Allie: Mm-hmm.

Tripp: Giovanni.

Allie: Well, that’s weird.

Tripp: How so?

Allie: My brother johnny, um, that’s what his grandfather used to call him.

Tripp: Could be a coincidence?

Allie: Yeah. Maybe. But he did say he met someone. I mean, you don’t think that– oh, my god, it’s him.

Tripp: Your brother?

Allie: Mm-hmm. Hi, johnny.

Johnny: Uh, hey.

Chanel: You two know each other?

Johnny: Uh, yeah. Do–do you know allie?

Chanel: Yeah, only since forever.

Johnny: Eh, not as long as I have, guaranteed. You must be tripp.

Tripp: Uh, tripp johnson.

Johnny: Hey, gi–well, uh, johnny. Um, this is my good friend, chanel. We’re here to meet the bff and her boyfriend for some drinks.

Allie: I’m the bff.

Johnny: Uh…

Allie: Chanel is my best friend. And giovanni here is my twin brother.

[Dramatic music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Bonnie: Uh, this is my sister-in-law, calista lockhart. Justin is my fiancé.

Calista: [Gasps] Oh! Congratulations.

Justin: I–you never told me you had a sister-in-law.

Bonnie: [Exhales]

Calista: Well, she does. And I’m her! [Laughs]

Justin: You must be…

Calista: Bonnie’s late husband’s sister.

Justin: Right. Is that what you said you could never explain to me? That you have a sister-in-law I didn’t know about?

Chanel: Oh, my god, giovanni is…

Johnny: Italian for johnny, yeah.

Allie: It’s what his nonno used to call him.

Tripp: Nonno?

Allie: It’s, um, italian for grandpa.

Tripp: Ah.

Chanel: I can’t believe you’re allie’s brother.

Allie: How did you not know?

Chanel: Well, you said you had a brother named johnny. You didn’t say anything about your grandfather calling him giovanni.

Allie: Well, actually he wasn’t my grandfather.

Chanel: But you’re twins.

Allie: It’s complicated. You’d have to know my mother.

Johnny: So, uh, I guess we can kinda skip the whole awkward getting-to-know-you part and just get right to drinking, yeah?

Ej: You’ve made yourself clear. Are we done?

Melinda: Not by a long shot. For starters, I’m going to find out how you managed to remain a member of the state bar during your long convalescence in italy, which included an extended period where you were mentally incompetent.

Ej: I’d be offended by that statement if I hadn’t just bested you.

Melinda: [Laughs] Bested me? I don’t have the legal right to throw around my money or my family name before I enter a courtroom. I swore to adhere to the rule of law. And I’m warning you, mr. Dimera, you don’t want me for an enemy.

Ej: [Chuckles] You were my enemy years ago. I’m used to you.

Melinda: I won’t stop digging until I find something to use against you and your drug dealing client.

Xander: Come on, I kept your spot warm for you. Where else would you rather be?

Gwen: Nowhere.

[Mutters] Oh, my god. This is completely mental, okay? I only just came over here yesterday to thank you for covering for me with my dad, and that was yesterday. And I’m still here.

Xander: What can I say? I just love the way you say thank you. I skipped breakfast just so i could hear it all over again.

Gwen: And lunch, and now it’s, what, bloody happy hour?

Xander: So, lose the robe and let’s get happy. Come on, love. You know you want it.

Gwen: My goodness, I know I’m going to regret this.

[Slow sensual music]

Jack: Can’t you ask abigail what her plans are?

Chad: Well, jack–I keep– I keep trying, and she always changes the subject. I miss her, and the kids miss her horribly, and I know she misses them too, but, you know, she won’t even make a plan for me to take them to see her. I mean, has she said anything to you about us?

Jack: No. No, look, I–I’m getting a version of the same treatment you’re getting. All I can think about is how hurt she was by the way that i talked to her when gwen had her miscarriage.

Chad: Yeah, well, me too. I just…

Jack: What?

Chad: It just seems like she doesn’t wanna see me… and it makes me really scared and…

Jack: Scared that what?

Chad: What if she never comes home? You know, what if– what if my marriage is over? As someone who resembles someone else…

Bonnie: [Chuckles] Calista, she–[Chuckles]– She friended me on social media after all this time, and, well, I guess I got carried away and invited her to the wedding. Isn’t that right?

Calista: Sure. I mean, right.

Bonnie: And I know that we wanted to keep it small and all, and calista’s a shirt tail relative, but I’m sorry for asking someone you don’t even know without, you know, letting you know first.

Justin: That’s okay. She’s your sister-in-law.

Calista: Ex-sister-in-law.

Justin: Well, you know, it’s your wedding as much as mine. So, if calista’s important to you, then she should be here.

Calista: Oh, I am so important to bonnie, and I can’t even tell you how important she is to me.

Chanel: You guys are twins. You don’t look anything alike.

Allie: Well, we have different dads. Remember?

Johnny: I get, uh, all my good looks from my–my dad’s–

Allie: His ego, too.

Johnny: Yeah. That’s the only thing I get from him, so, don’t worry.

Chanel: Why would I worry?

Johnny: How much have you heard about the, uh, dimeras?

Ej: You won’t dig up anything on me that you don’t already know. As you pointed out, I’ve been recovering from serious injuries for years.

Melinda: But the rest of your family’s been busy. Did you know that your sister kristen pushed my daughter down a flight of stairs and killed her?

Ej: No.

Melinda: It’s true. She also broke out of prison, threatened or harmed four other people, including your wife, and now she’s on the run. So, you better hope that your sister kristen hasn’t reached out to you in any way, because I will find out. You also have a son who just showed up in salem.

Ej: You leave johnny out of this.

Melinda: Hit a nerve, did I? But maybe that’s because you’re planning on grooming him to take over the family business.

Ej: Goodbye, ms. Trask.

Melinda: But you should really rethink that, I mean, if you actually care about what’s good for him.

Ej: Get out of my house, now.

[Tense music]

Melinda: Oh, I also found it interesting that you just appeared claiming to be mr. Cook’s lawyer before he ever used his phone call.

Ej: Xander was my caregiver for years right after my accident. I owe him one… and he owes me more.

[Both exhale]

Gwen: [Chuckles] How many calories do you think we just burned?

Xander: [Exhales] Well… to my mind, we’ve earned the right to, uh, order down for steaks and champagne.

Gwen: Xander, this is–this is getting really expensive. Not to mention your lawyer.

Xander: Worry about him tomorrow.

[Phone rings] Oh, speak of the devil.

Gwen: What, your lawyer?

Xander: Yeah, I have to take this. What’s happening?

Ej: You’re officially off the hook.

Xander: Already?

Ej: I told you I’d take care of it. Get yourself over to the police station and pick up your personal effects. I’ll come by to collect what you owe me.

Chad: I just–I see it all clearly now, and–and I told her that before she left. I mean, I thought that we were in a–a good place, and–and after what she said that she wanted to go spend some time with her mom and work through all of these–these things, I thought it was a good idea. I just didn’t think she would be gone this long.

Jack: I know. I know. I know. Look, if–if there’s anything that I can do…

Chad: Actually, there is.

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Chad: Can you maybe talk to, um–talk to jenn? I–I know she says that laura’s estate seems to be more complicated than she had thought, but it just–it feels like abby’s using that as an excuse to just stay away from me. I mean, like, even if she doesn’t wanna be around me, kids miss their mom, you know?

Jack: Yeah, absolutely. I mean, I promise you, I’m gonna talk to abigail and jennifer.

Chad: All right. Thank you.

Jack: And–and, uh, I know that I have been missing in action with thomas and charlotte myself, and–and I plan to remedy that.

Chad: Sorry, I was gonna bring them over today. I just didn’t wanna take the chance of them running into their old nanny or that drug runner you had sleeping on your couch.

Jack: Ah. Yeah, yeah. Well, that was, uh, poor judgment on my part, but, uh, I’ve thrown xander out.

Chad: Good.

Jack: Not before he managed to con gwen into making drops for him.

Chad: You’re kidding.

Jack: No. I–I really–I wish I was. But at least he’s out of here and he’s–he’s out of her life for good.

Xander: So sorry to bail on you like this.

Gwen: No, it’s all right. My dad’s going to be wondering where I am anyway.

Xander: [Chuckles] Well, I’ll be glad to see the back of my legal troubles, even if it is gonna cost me a literal fortune.

Gwen: [Sighs] I really wish that you didn’t have to take the rap for me. I wish that just being honest with chad about losing my baby before I took the fall, and then that way snyder would have had nothing over my head. And now I have to worry about my dad finding out the truth.

Xander: He won’T. Snyder’s dead, and I won’t open my mouth.

Gwen: I really don’t know how to thank you.

Xander: Well, you, uh, already did.

Gwen: I’m going to miss you.

Xander: Why? You going somewhere?

Gwen: No. My dad would absolutely hate it if he knew that we were seeing each other. It wouldn’t make sense to him anyway, because he doesn’t know that you covered for me. He thinks that you’re some drug man who conned his daughter into making drops for him. No, he’d be–he’d be determined to get to the bottom of this. And if he found out the truth…

Xander: No, I–I get it. But there’s no chance we could keep it a secret? Us? Our little whatever you wanna call it?

Gwen: Another secret, xander? In this town?

Xander: Right.

Gwen: So, um, this is going to have to be goodbye then, I’m afraid.

Xander: No, I understand. Well, uh, hopefully I’ll see you around sometime.

Gwen: Yeah. You too.

[Somber music]

Chanel: Theo filled me in some on your family. His mother was a dimera.

Johnny: Aunt lexie, yeah. Um, how do you know theo?

Chanel: I was on vacation in south africa. Met him in johannesburg. We dated for a while.

Johnny: In johannesburg?

Chanel: What can I say? I get around.

Johnny: Yeah.

Allie: I just realized something. That thirst trap guy that I was begging you to show me, that was you?

Johnny: It was just a selfie with my shirt off.

Tripp: You were begging to see a shirtless selfie?

Allie: Only to make sure that he was up to chanel’s standards.

Johnny: Do I pass?

Allie: Ew, you’re my brother.

Johnny: I need to know. I hear I’ve got competition.

Allie: What does that mean?

Johnny: That the last person that chanel kissed before me was you.

[Soft jazz music playing]

Justin: I have some good news. Steve has agreed to be my best man.

Bonnie: Oh, that’s great.

Justin: Under the circumstances, I thought you’d be a little happier.

Bonnie: Well, I am happy honey. [Giggles] I’m thrilled with that.

Calista: Circumstances?

Bonnie: Steve is the brother of justin’s first wife.

Calista: Oh, I see.

Bonnie: Listen, justin, again, I’m sorry for not giving you the heads up about calista coming to the wedding. I just–I just never thought I’d see her again.

Justin: I thought you said you invited her.

Bonnie: [Laughs] But I never thought she’d show up. And she’s changed so much since the last time I saw her.

Calista: I have an idea. How about the three of us celebrate your wedding with a toast? You wouldn’t happen to have a little bottle of champagne lying around?

Justin: You know what? I will ask henderson to go grab a bottle from the cellar. Excuse me.

Bonnie: Okay.

Calista: [Giggles] Who’s henderson?

Bonnie: He’s the butler.

Calista: Oh, and that cellar, it’s just for wine?

Bonnie: What are you getting at?

Calista: Well, justin isn’t just handsome. He’s also filthy rich.

Bonnie: That’s not why I love him.

Calista: Ha! Right. So, anyway, how’d you get rid of the first wife?

Bonnie: I didn’T. She died in an accident.

Calista: How convenient.

Bonnie: Oh, no, no, no, no. No. Justin and I fell in love way after that.

Calista: Aww. So, you found true love? Well, it’s just a shame that you won’t be marrying justin, or anyone else for that matter, until you pay me back the money you owe me.

Bonnie: Oh, god, you don’t know the whole story.

Calista: What is there to know? You ran off with that buddybucks ticket, and now you owe me $1 million.

Bonnie: I keep telling you, I don’t have the money.

Calista: Oh, you better come through for me, bon bon… or I will show dimples this here little gun, the one with your fingerprints all over it.

Bonnie: Keep–[Grunts]– Keep that in your purse.

Calista: And then I’m gonna tell justin all about how you killed my husband. Just what’s he gonna say when he hears what you did to my beloved harrison?

Bonnie: [Screams]

Go on… put yourselves

through all that pain.

Bonnie: My god! I’m shot! Somebody–somebody shot me!

Justin: Bonnie? Bonnie?

Bonnie: Huh?

Justin: You’re not shot. I just popped the champagne cork. I’m sorry, it was so loud.

Bonnie: [Laughs]

Justin: It’s okay.

Bonnie: No, I knew that, i was just–I was just making a joke. [Chuckles]

Justin: You seem a little jumpy.

Bonnie: Huh?

Justin: Is there something you’re not telling me?

Bonnie: No, of course not. I just–oh, my god, probably have wedding jitters or something.

Calista: Really? You know, when bonnie married my brother, she was just as relaxed as a toad in the sun. Should’ve known that was a bad sign.

Bonnie: Don’t listen to her. She thinks she’s being funny, just like me just now with that dumb joke about thinking I was shot. [Laughs] Stupid.

Justin: No worries. Okay, let’s, uh, have this toast.

Calista: Oh, whoa, those cost a couple hundred bucks a bottle.

Justin: Special occasion.

Calista: You got a real nice place here… full of nice stuff. Ooh. This must’ve cost a fortune.

Bonnie: No–[Laughs] That’s fragile, hon.

[Both chuckle]

Justin: Here you go. Bonnie?

Bonnie: Thanks, babe.

Justin: Uh, calista… we were, uh, going to have a toast.

Calista: Oh, sorry! I forgot.

[Giggles]

Justin: Okay–

Calista: Here’s to the happy couple. I wish you a million blessings in your new life together.

Chanel: You told johnny we kissed? What, you’ve known him for, like, three days?

Chanel: I didn’t tell him. My mom opened her big mouth when johnny and I were having drinks, not that I care who knows about us.

Allie: Dupree, there is no us.

Chanel: You know what I mean. I don’t go around blabbing about my past relationships to a guy I just met.

Johnny: Yeah, except it doesn’t sound like this relationship is totally in the past.

Tripp: What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Ej: The charges will be expunged from your personal record as long as you keep to the straight and narrow for the next two years.

Melinda: [Scoffs] Him? Forget it.

Xander: I want all the stuff I had to hand over after I was arrested.

Melinda: I have the inventory right here. Dirty socks. Dirty magazines.

Xander: I had everything i owned with me when shawn brady put me in handcuffs.

Melinda: Including a briefcase containing $1 million. Oh, excuse me, $1 million minus your bail money. Nothing suspicious about that, right, counselor?

Ej: The charges against mr. Cook have been dropped. Your suspicions are not his concern.

Melinda: They are if he committed a crime obtaining that money. Blackmail? Bribery? I intend on finding out where that money came from, and until I do, it does not leave the evidence room, you understand?

Tackling tough messes can

take more time than you have,

Johnny: Tripp, buddy, calm down.

Tripp: I’m not your buddy.

Johnny: Look, all I’m saying is that allie and chanel are still best friends and business partners. It’s not like they’re not gonna see each other anymore.

Tripp: Okay.

Johnny: You’ve been holding out on me. Not only do I have a gay older brother, but I have a sister who’s bi.

Allie: No, you don’T. And if you keep acting like this, tripp and I are going to leave.

Chanel: Don’t blame him, okay? It’s all my mother’s fault.

Tripp: Look, I’m not judging anybody. Honestly, I thought it was kinda hot, the idea of chanel hooking up with a woman, until I found out it was, you know, you.

Tripp: You know what, this will cover our drinks. We’re out of here.

Johnny: Look, I’m sorry.

Allie: No, you’re not. When did you become ej?

Chanel: Allie!

Justin: So, you two haven’t been in touch until she saw you on social media?

Bonnie: [Chuckles]

Calista: Well, you know, I found it difficult to maintain the friendship after bonnie went to prison for killing my brother.

Justin: Well, I understand there were extenuating circumstances.

Calista: I know, but still.

Justin: So, what made you decide to reconnect with her?

Calista: Well, we both have dead husbands now. Common bond. Her husband was murdered… and so was mine.

Justin: Oh, I’m sorry. That’s awful.

Calista: It is… especially since the person who killed my husband got away with it. Hopefully, somehow that person will be brought to justice.

Ej: You have no right to confiscate the money that mr. Cook earned legally.

Melinda: Are you worried about collecting your fee, mr. Dimera?

Ej: Not at all. That money was paid to mr. Cook by my wife for services rendered.

Melinda: [Laughs] That was samantha dimera’s money?

Ej: It’s mine.

Melinda: Did you know about their transaction?

Ej: Not till after the fact. So I suggest you contact samantha for the details. But good luck finding her, though. She’s left town.

Melinda: Mm. Seems like major trouble in paradise.

Ej: My client has not broken any laws…

Melinda: [Sighs]

Ej: And if you try to file new charges, I’ll just work my magic all over again.

Melinda: Bribe another judge, you mean?

Ej: Additional charges will be a complete waste of your time. Do you want the score to read two to zero?

Melinda: I’ll turn over the money.

Ej: Mm-hmm.

Melinda: Hm. But be prepared to dole it out in civil settlements to the families of drug overdose victims.

[Tense music]

Ej: Let’s hope that doesn’t come to pass, because you and i know that every dollar in that briefcase is mine.

Chad: Well, it’s, uh–it’s good to see you, but I should get out of here. I don’t wanna–I don’t wanna run into gwen, so–

Jack: Oh, I wouldn’t worry about that, I haven’t seen her since last night. Actually, I’m starting to get a little worried.

Chad: Not quick enough.

Jack: Well, there you are.

Gwen: Hello, chad.

Chad: Gwen.

Jack: Where on earth have you been? Super emma just about sleeps in her cape.

Calista: So, what time’s dinner? What’s the dress code for the wedding? And where’s my room?

Bonnie: [Coughing] What room? What room?

Calista: Well, you invited me. I just assumed you’d put me up here.

[Laughter]

Bonnie: Oh, I’m sorry, you know, this house is pretty crowded already.

Calista: Really? There must be 35 bedrooms in this place.

Bonnie: You know, I tell you what…

Calista: Huh?

Bonnie: I’m gonna get you a room at the salem inn. You’re gonna love it there, ’cause it’s nice and private.

Calista: Fine. I wouldn’t wanna be any trouble. It was lovely meeting you, justin. I’ll see you two at the wedding, hopefully. [Chuckles]

Justin: Bonnie and I will see you there.

Bonnie: Yes, we will. Hey, I’ll walk you out. Come on.

Calista: Okay.

Bonnie: I’ll get your purse.

Calista: Oh, no, I’ve got it.

Bonnie: I can get it for you.

Calista: Thank you.

Bonnie: Okay. Well, after you. Just go ahead. Be right back, honey.

Calista: Oh–[Giggles] You better come up with that money, bon bon, or you will be staying single.

Bonnie: [Sighs]

Johnny: So, since we didn’t get to have dinner, uh, just tell me what sounds good, and I can ask cook to make it.

Chanel: Thanks, but I’m not that hungry.

Johnny: You haven’t been saying much. Uh, would it have anything to do with that scene allie made?

Chanel: I can’t believe you’re brother and sister.

Johnny: Yeah, but we are. Look, the last couple of days have been a lot of fun, but you having a thing for allie, things just got complicated.

Johnny: For you? Or for me?

[Solemn music]

Tripp: You were pretty quiet on the way over here. Are you upset that chanel is seeing your brother?

Allie: It’s just weird. And I hate to say it, but i really hope it doesn’t last.

Gwen: Well, I, um, went to bed early last night, and, uh, I woke up with the birds, um, and then I had, uh, an early meeting with an employment counselor, and spent the rest of the day walking.

Jack: You didn’t say anything before about an employment counselor.

Gwen: Well, I can’t expect you to keep me on the dole forever.

Chad: What did that counselor say?

Gwen: They said that I would need a reference for my last job. I said that would most likely be a problem.

Chad: Yeah, you were right.

Gwen: Right, well, I’m going to put on a pot of tea. Would anyone like a biscuit or something?

Chad: No.

Jack: Uh, no, nothing– nothing for me, thanks, gwen.

Gwen: Yeah, okay.

Chad: Sorry. Just can’t in good conscience tell an employer that she was a–a good nanny with how things ended.

Jack: I know.

Chad: You’re her–you’re her father. You feel obligated to her. I do not.

Jack: I know, I know. I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it, and I promise you, I will talk to jennifer, and i hope that she can get through to abigail.

Chad: I hope so.

Jack: Abigail loves you. Chad, please, don’t give up on this marriage.

Chad: I don’t intend to.

[Tense music]

Ej: Pleasure doing business with you. I’ll take that briefcase now.

Xander: Not until you’ve got me my old job back at basic black, right?

Ej: Brady’s on a business trip to new york, and nicole’s been out sick all week. When they’re back in the office, I’ll follow up.

Xander: You’re the top man at dimera enterprises. Snap your fingers, you can make this happen.

Ej: I’ve done everything I’ve promised so far.

Xander: Yeah, so far.

Ej: That money belongs to me.

Xander: Your wife paid it to me willingly. And let’s face it, mate, I did you a favor. When I told that room full of people that nicole spent a night in my bed, that got the ball rolling. If nicole hadn’t wanted to get back at sami, you’d still be in the dark and she’d still be cheating on you. Really you should be thanking me.

Ej: And you should be shutting the hell up and handing over that briefcase… right now.

Justin: Calista is quite the character.

Bonnie: [Laughs] Yes. She is.

Justin: I’m surprised you didn’t mention her before.

Bonnie: Well, you know how it goes. Out of sight, out of mind.

[Chuckles]

Justin: Yeah.

Bonnie: And then when she appeared out of the blue, I just felt like I had to invite her to the wedding. I kinda felt on the spot.

Justin: No, I–I understand that. I’ve had similar experiences with family members, being on the spot, I mean.

Bonnie: Right. Thank you for understanding.

Justin: Mm-hmm.

Bonnie: Oh, uh, dang, I almost forgot.

Justin: What?

Bonnie: The caterer called this afternoon, and it seems they want the whole payment before the wedding, meaning today, and I know you’re busy, so I was just thinking maybe you could just, you know, write a blank check and I’ll fill in the amount later.

Justin: No need to do that. It’s all taken care of.

Bonnie: It is? How?

Justin: Don’t you worry about it. All you have to do is show up looking beautiful, and we can start our new lives together.

Bonnie: I want that life so much.

Justin: Me too. You know, I was just thinking, since your kids can’t make it, it’s kinda great that calista is here, so you’ll have someone from your side of the family.

Bonnie: Oh, yeah. Lucky me. [Chuckles]

Johnny: Look, I don’t care if you kissed allie, as long as you are sure you’re over her.

Chanel: I told you, I was.

Johnny: I hope so. I don’t wanna be in a rivalry over you with my sister.

Chanel: Then we’re good, because allie’s with tripp now. She’s happy, and so am I.

Johnny: Well, then I’m happy too.

Tripp: So, what bothers you about johnny and chanel dating?

Allie: Growing up, he was my best friend. We told each other everything. And now I feel like I don’t even know him. I mean, he was–he was a total jerk tonight.

Tripp: Yeah, he was.

Allie: And chanel’s my best friend. I mean, what if he’s a jerk to her?

Tripp: She can take care of herself.

Allie: Still, I just hope they break it off before it gets serious. What? What’s that look?

Tripp: Chanel told me that they almost slept together last night.

Jack: Thank you, yes. Thank you for the information.

Gwen: Something’s wrong.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, something’s wrong. I just got some news, and I’m– it has me more than a little upset.

Gwen: What? What is it?

Jack: Xander.

Gwen: Oh?

Jack: He hired ej dimera to represent him. Ej has somehow found a way to get a judge to throw his case out. Xander is going to get away with what he did to you. He’s going to walk! Damn it!

Gwen: Jack… jack, it’s okay.

Jack: I’ll tell you what, he better stay the hell away from you, or I promise you it will not be okay.

Xander: Well, I see two options here. You can challenge me to a duel, or make good on the rest of our agreement while I hold onto the briefcase. Then, when I’m back on the payroll at basic black, you’ll get your $1 million back.

Ej: If you try anything in the meantime–

Xander: You know where i live. Salem inn, room 2119. Cheerio.

[Tense music]

[Phone rings]

Calista: Did you get the money?

Bonnie: I tried to con justin into writing a blank check for the caterer, so I could take it to them.

Calista: What do you mean tried?

Bonnie: My heart just wasn’t into it, okay? I–the old hustle failed me.

Calista: That is not what I wanna hear, bonnie.

Bonnie: You know, I was thinking, maybe after the wedding, justin will open up a checking account in my name.

Calista: Like I’m counting on that happening. Like I don’t know that you’re just trying to stall. After you’re married to that guy, I’ll never see my money…

Bonnie: Look, calista, please.

Calista: So I have a better idea.

Bonnie: What’s that?

Calista: I know exactly where you can get a million bucks.

[ Door opens ]

Steffy: [ Sighs ] You knew how I felt about sheila. You knew that I never wanted her near our son. But yet I walk in here and she’s holding hayes.

Finn: I’m sorry. I– I didn’t invite her. My dad was convinced that if–

Steffy: It doesn’t matter, finn. The moment sheila walked in, you should have called the police. This woman is dangerous. She’s unpredictable. She’s– god, she’s a sociopath. She could’ve kidnapped our son, and we wouldn’t have seen him again. Like, how– how could you do that? How could you put him in harm’s way like that, finn? How could you?

Steffy: I’m gonna protect my son from you, sheila. We’re getting a restraining order, and you’re never gonna see finn, hayes, or me never again!

[ Banging ]

Jack: Why are you still here?

Sheila: Excuse me?

Jack: You swore if you saw finn, held your grandson just once, you’d leave. You got what you wanted. Now go.

Sheila: Oh, it’s just not quite that easy, jack.

Jack: It is. You caused enough trouble.

Sheila: If you’re talking about steffy’s reaction when she saw me holding my grandson–

Jack: She was livid, and she blames me for pushing finn into it.

Sheila: Yeah, well, just her some time. She’llget over it.

Jack: Give her some time? Did you see her, sheila? If you think you’ll get anywhere near hayes again, you will never be a grandmother to finn’s son. Pack your things and leave.

Paris: I’m distracting you.

Zende: That’s my favorite kind of distraction. What?

Paris: Um, just another day at work? [ Laughs ] I’m just wondering how many women have you kissed here at forrester.

Zende: You’re curious about the women I’ve kissed.

Paris: Do you even remember how many?

Zende: I don’t know. Let’s see. There was, um, debbie jarrett.

Paris: Who?

Zende: The first girl I kissed. On the cheek. She was 8, and I was 7. I was a bad boy, paris.

Paris: No, I’m talking, you know, more recently.

Zende: Recently, as in last year?

Paris: Seriously. Okay, you’re a forrester. You’re an attractive, talented designer. You have to know that every girl here has the hots for you, zende. I mean, you gotta tell me, who do you have your eye on?

Zende: You really wanna know?

Paris: Yeah, I really wanna know.

Sheila: I don’t like your tone, jack.

Jack: You’ve caused enough grief for finn and steffy. Li and me, too.

Sheila: I haven’t done anything to your precious li.

Jack: It doesn’t mean you won’t leave this room, go straight to her and tell her everything.

Sheila: About a tryst that we had years ago? That happens.

Jack: Not to me. I love my wife.

Sheila: Yeah, well, I distinctly remember you not getting enough of me. Coming to my place and throwing me up against the wall. You couldn’t get enough.

Jack: That was a lifetime ago.

Sheila: But I vividly remember the night that I told you I was pregnant. Your deepest secret that I have kept all these years: You, finn’s biological father.

Finn: I never would have allowed sheila to take our son.

Steffy: This is our home. This is our safe place, our sanctuary. But it didn’t feel that way anymore because sheila was in here and she was holding our son. That is a huge– a huge violation for me. I asked one thing of you– to care for our son while I was gone. And the one thing I feared the most you allowed to happen. The man I trust. The man who vowed to keep our child safe. The man who said he wasn’t gonna let anyone interfere in our family and our happiness. I mean, those were your words. That’s what you said, finn. You said that.

[ Sighs ] I get that sheila is your biological mother. But I am your wife, and you knew that I would never allow her in here, but you did. Can you please explain that to me?

Hey, it’s me…your skin.

Zende: I like keeping you guessing. It’s fun.

Paris: Yeah, I’m not sure it’s guessing. Oh. You know what? It’s clarice, the new model. She’s hot.

Zende: Oh, she’s bad. But no. I keep thinking about you. Actually, I kind of have this crazy idea.

Paris: Ooh, crazy can be exciting.

Zende: Yes, it can. Why don’t you leave the beach house, come move in with me. We’ll have a lot of fun.

Paris: Yeah, I mean, I’m sure we would. But, you know, I’m actually really having a lot of fun with steffy and finn. It’s so sweet how they connect, and I absolutely adore hayes and kelly and dr. Finn, too. I mean, he’s really something.

Sheila: But because of my feelings for you and then you convincing me that I was in no position to raise a child.

Jack: You weren’T. You said so yourself.

Sheila: You know what? I–I sacrificed for you. No, you and li couldn’t conceive, so I let you raise my son. Li’s the only mother that finn has ever known until now.

Jack: I was never gonna leave my wife for you. You knew that.

Sheila: And you were never gonna tell li that you fathered your son with another woman. So, you know, don’t stand there acting like I’m the only one that’s ever done anything wrong.

Jack: Are you finished?

Sheila: Oh, I’m sure you’d like it if I were, wouldn’t you? Because you don’t like being reminded of what you& have to lose. Your marriage. Your relationship with finn. But that’s what it comes down to. You stand to lose everything if you’re not very careful.

Steffy: Sheila was standing in our home holding our innocent little boy. That never should’ve happened. You should’ve shut your dad down the minute he told you what she wanted.

Finn: I did. He just–he– he kept pushing, and he insisted that I give her this one chance, and if I did, sheila promised that she’d be out of our lives forever. You know, and I know that what’s you wanted.

Steffy: You’re saying you did this for me?

Finn: I thought it would be worth it if you never had to deal with sheila again.

Steffy: That’s what she was counting on. She used it to get access to our son. She manipulated jack, and she manipulated you.

Finn: I guess I just… was hoping that–

Steffy: Hoping what? That she wasn’t the same person who tried to kill my mom, brooke, andmade my grandmother’s life a living hell? Because people like sheila, they don’t change.

Finn: I understand that. Okay? And if sheila wasn’t my birth mother, but… she is. And despite everything that she’s done… deep down, I guess I just– I wanted to see my birth mother one last time.

Steffy: [ Scoffs ]

Certain hpv-related cancers?

Zende: You are, uh, really impressed with finn.

Paris: I mean, he’s an impressive guy. He’s a great dad, a wonderful doctor, a loving and attentive husband. Oh, the way that he treats steffy. I mean, true, he is lucky to have married someone as terrific as her, but she did all right for herself. I mean–I mean, better than all right.

Paris: Finn’s the total package. Not to mention, he’s not a bad-looking package.

Zende: Okay. Just so you know, I did pretty well for myself, too, with you.

Sheila: You know, jack, I’m holding all the cards, and you’d do well to remember that.

Jack: There’s something you need to remember, too. If there isn’t already a restraining order with your name on it, there will be after tonight. So you forced your way into finn’s–

Sheila: I didn’t force my way anywhere.

Jack: Doesn’t matter. You go anywhere near that house, you’ll be behind bars so fast. That’s why you need to walk away, sheila, while you still can.

Sheila: I’ll walk away when I’m ready to walk away, and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it.

Jack: Damn it, sheila! I am tired of this.

Sheila: You wanna know what I’m tired of? I’m tired of everyone attacking me, jack. You giving me ultimatums and steffy hell-bent on keeping me out of finn and hayes’s lives. She even had the audacity to slap me twice. But since when has violence solved anything?

Steffy: I realize you always wondered about your birth mother. Under normal circumstances, I totally support you gettig to know her. But sheila’s anything but normal.

Finn: That still doesn’t change the fact that she gave birth to me. Or the part of me that… wanted to see her again. I’ll probably never meet my birth father, and today was… my last chance to connect with the woman that brought me into this world. Yeah. I, uh– I went against your wishes and my better judgment. I allowed sheila to hold hayes. Now I see how upset you are and how… betrayed you feel, and… I’m sorry. Steffy, I–I am so sorry.

Sheila: I don’t think you know what this meant to me– to hold our son and our grandson. I gave birth to finn. Even though I let you talk me into giving him up, I don’t know why–

Jack: You make it sound like you were forced into it. That wasn’t how it was.

Sheila: Well, that’s how I felt, jack. That’s how I felt in my heart, losing a child.

Jack: This isn’t getting us anywhere. You’re just delaying the inevitable, and I won’t have that. I now know your history with the forresters. All the cruel and sadistic things you’ve done to them. You shot steffy’s mother, for god sakes. Well, she’s my daughter-in-law now, and finn loves her. I’m not gonna let you put a strain on their marriage, ruin the best thing that’s happened to him in years. So either you keep your promise as you said you’d do, or–

Sheila: Or what, jack? What are you gonna do about it?

Jack: We made a deal. You got to see finn one more time, hold hayes. I came through for you, and guess what. Now you’re gonna come through for me. You will never tell li about our past, and you will never tell anyone how finn was conceived, how he came to be adopted by my wife and me. You will take our little secret to the grave, sheila. You hear me? To the grave.

Steffy: I know you intentionally didn’t go behind my back, inviting sheila over, knowing that I was out of town, but–

Finn: That was my dad. He just–he felt that if she got this one chance– sheila saw me and hayes this one last time– that it would be enough.

Steffy: Nothing is ever enough when it comes to sheila. Telling your father that was just a way for her to get her foot in the door with you and our son, and that’s what really scares me. I’m terrified knowing what she’s gonna do next, what she’s planning, how is she gonna try to contact you.

Finn: That’s not gonna happen.

Steffy: You swore that she would never come near you or our son. She’s never going to be satisfied, finn. She’s not, now that she’s held our son. She’s gonna try to insinuate herself into his life, and I’m not gonna let that happen.

Finn: Neither will I, steffy, ever again.

Steffy: You don’t know all the terrible things this woman has done to me and my family. She deprived me of my mom for years. Like, I think about it often what life would have been like without sheila carter. And to know what my son might go through now that she’s back here, it’s terrifying. Look, I know that she gave birth to you. Well, her blood is in you, and it’s in our innocent little boy. I love you, finn, and I was excited about our future together. But learning that you have this tie to sheila… that she was in our home holding our child… as much it pains me to say this… I can’t even look at you right now. I can’T. Knowing the pain you caused.

Finn: Do you need some time alone?

Steffy: [ Sighs ]

Finn: I’ll just, um– I can go in the guest house, and I can give you the night. But… please believe me when I tell you this, that… I’m truly sorry. And I really love you. And I love our family. And I love our life together.

[Door closes]

Steffy: [ Sniffles, sighs ]

Rey: Devon, will you call mariah’s cellphone again?

Devon: Absolutely.

[ Cellphone rings ] There it is. That’s her damn case. That’s it.

Rey: Wow.

Victor: So stitch is the one who kidnapped mariah.

Devon: That’s right. Can you believe how crazy he is? He’s literally been pretending to be here for weeks now, texting us.

Victor: Yeah, as soon as he steps foot in the hotel, he’ll be arrested, right?

Rey: My number-one goal is to find mariah, but we still don’t know where she is.

Devon: You know what we need to do, guys? We need to call abby, ’cause she could be in danger right now.

Victor: I agree with you.

Abby: Please just tell me where they are. I promise I won’t hold it against you. I swear.

Stitch: Are you talking about mariah? Why would I know where she is?

[ Cellphone rings ] I can’t believe you even thought that, much less said it out loud. I’m gonna go.

Abby: No, no, no, no, please! Please you can’t leave like this. Stay, even if it’s only to tell me how wrong I am.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] That was a nice walk, huh? Thanks for going with me. It’s so nice just to have someone who understands exactly what I’m going through.

Tessa: You helped me, too.

Sharon: You know, if mariah were here right now, she’d probably crack a joke about the heavy-duty bonding we’re doing over how much we love her.

Tessa: [ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone chimes ] Is it abby?

Sharon: No, it’s rey.

Tessa: What does the text say?

Sharon: The police were able to break through the block on mariah’s phone. Wait, there’s more. He’s still texting. They tracked its location.

Tessa: To where?

Sharon: The grand phoenix.

Tessa: Okay, what does that mean, that she’s still in town? That’s where the kidnapper’s keeping her?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Could she be that close by?

Sharon: Hold on, there’s more. They found mariah’s phone in stitch’s room.

Mariah: [ Breathing heavily ]

[ Groaning ] Ohh, that was — that was really strong for such a little guy. Which probably means that we’re gonna be meeting face to face pretty soon.

[ Exhales ] Which is good because, according to mr. Clock over there, we’ve still got some time to kill.

[ Exhales ] Which gives the maniac who’s had us trapped in her for weeks now time to do the right thing. Take me to a hospital, please! You don’t want to be responsible if something goes horribly wrong, do you?

[ Breathing heavily ] Oh, don’t worry, don’t worry, bowie. Just kidding. I was just trying to inflict some guilt. Everything’s gonna be fine. Everything’s gonna be fine.

[ Breathing heavily ] What was with all the prenatal vitamins and the protein bars if you were just gonna abandon us now? Ohh. Maybe — maybe they went to call somebody. Maybe they went to get help. Somebody’ll be here any minute. Maybe they went to go get diapers or something, I don’t know. They know that we’re in labor. Somebody’s gonna be here any minute. Right? You can’t just abandon us now. They wouldn’t leave us to do this all alone, would they? Somebody can’t be that cruel, right? A lot of people think dealing with copd

Stitch: This is unreal. You — you just told me what a good friend I’ve been.

Abby: You have.

Stitch: I’ve done my best to be there for you.

Abby: And I just want you to know how much I appreciate everything that you’ve done.

Stitch: Then how could you accuse me of doing something so horrible?

Abby: I’m just worried. I’m just worried about my friend and my baby. I just — I want to find them.

Stitch: And I want to help you do that.

Abby: For the sake of the baby that we lost.

Stitch: Uh —

Abby: Ben, I want to help you, too. I know — I know you have been through hell. You have lost so much.

Stitch: I — I shouldn’t have said anything, alright? That was stupid for me to admit that.

Abby: I’m glad that you did. It’s so hard to admit something like that. There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone goes through a hard time.

Stitch: I didn’t expect for you to take it the way you did, okay? You’re jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Abby: I’m sorry if I did that.

Stitch: If? After everything I just said, you’re still wondering if I had anything to do with mariah’s disappearance?

Abby: I mean, can’t you understand why I would — i would have some pause? Mariah went missing right after you came back to town. And you said you had that position at memorial when you really didn’T. And you were telling me about that little notebook — mariah’s notebook with the storks on it.

Stitch: No, no, that was — that was someone else. That was the older guy in the store. Okay, he — he’s the one who had that paper.

Abby: I’m sorry. I don’t know if I believe your story anymore.

[ Sniffles ] I think you were just trying to tell me those things because you saw me falling apart, and then you added — you added the notebook because it was more convincing. You made me believe we were on the right track, and I believed it for a minute, but then when i stepped back and I looked at the whole picture…

[ Cellphone rings ]

Stitch: It’s devon. I… I asked him to stay in touch. Wait. Does he think I did this, too?

Rey: That’s right, and an apb. If anybody sees him or gets any credible leads, I want to be the first to know.

Victor: I will let you know of any further developments, okay? And by the way, do me a favor, I’ve been trying to get ahold of abby. I wasn’t able to, so give her a call, okay?

Devon: I just got his voicemail again.

Rey: Alright, you know what to say.

Devon: Hey, stitch. This is devon hamilton. I was just calling ’cause i wanted to run some ideas by you on how we could help abby. Give me a call when you get a chance. I’d really appreciate it. Alright. That guy’s not gonna call me back. Even though he told me to reach out to him if she needs any help, but I don’t believe a damn word he says.

Rey: Do either one of you know why stitch would kidnap mariah? I mean, was it about abby’s baby? Or does it have to do with taking revenge on abby, maybe because of the divorce? Or is he in love with abby? Is he jealous?

Victor: I think the latter is the case. I really do. If it had been up to stitch, he would have had a life with abby now, if it hadn’t have been for his son.

Rey: Right. Stitch’s son is the one who caused the accident that resulted in abby’s miscarriage.

Devon: Yeah, except it wasn’t an accident. He did it on purpose.

Victor: You know that, right? Apparently, the son placed a tripwire on the stairs in the athletic club. Abby had her shower. When she was descending the stairs, she tripped over the damn wire and fell. Lost the baby. It apparently was so bad that she can now not carry a baby to term because of the scar tissue.

Rey: Wow. That must have been devastating for both of them. That’s what led to the divorce?

Victor: I have a feeling it contributed to it, yeah.

Rey: Is there anything else you can tell me about them?

Devon: I mean, just that, you know, he showed up out of nowhere and started spending a lot of time with abby, trying to be really supportive and, you know, super helpful.

Rey: Right, he shared that story about finding the alleged kidnapper in the convenience store.

Devon: Yeah.

Rey: And seemed super excited when that tip would have been the turning point for the case.

Victor: Well, he probably thought that he would earn her undying gratitude.

Rey: Yeah. I’ve seen this dynamic in other criminal cases. You read a lot about it in arson investigations.

Devon: Like when a firefighter will start the fire so he can show up and save the day?

Rey: Exactly. Now, the bright side is, if this is the case, then there’s a decent chance that stitch is taking good care of mariah. He’s got to be the good guy here, and his story has to have a happy ending brought out by his own heroics.

Victor: You know, the hardest thing for me is to put around the fact that stitch is involved in this. I mean, I respected the guy. Used to spar with him. He’s a great guy. What the hell happened to him? Obviously, became totally unhinged. To do this? Who the hell knows what he’s up to now? Feeling stressed in your skin?

Abby: Mariah’s friends are just worried about her because she’s so kind and caring. I mean, look what she’s doing for me. She’s carrying my baby, and that’s — that’s just one example.

Stitch: People want to do nice things for you, abby. They gravitate towards you. You’re a light in a very dark world.

Abby: And your world has been dark lately?

Stitch: I didn’t mean to bring that up.

Abby: No, please. Ben, just — just talk to me. I mean, you said you came here for redemption.

Stitch: I don’t think I can explain it to you. You’re anchored here. Genoa city, it — it’s in your blood.

Abby: Yeah, it’s my home.

Stitch: To me, it’s something else. Represents a time in my life when I still had hope. At first, when I came back, i just — I just wanted to remember that feeling. I had lived so long without it, you know?

Abby: [ Sniffles ]

Stitch: Like nothing good would ever happen for me. And then…I wanted to feel hopeful again. Like anything was possible. I needed to find a way back to my past.

Abby: Your past with me.

Stitch: I know I don’t have any right to expect that. To expect that from you. I was…lucky to share a life with you once. It was magic, but I didn’t — I didn’t protect you. I didn’t protect you and i couldn’t hold onto it.

Abby: Stop, okay? Just stop. What happened between us, it wasn’t your fault. And if I ever said that, I am so sorry. I didn’t mean that. That was just my pain and my grief talking.

Stitch: Maybe you get it, then. Because that’S… that’s what I’m going through right now. The pain. I’m out of my head.

Tessa: Why don’t you just give rey a call and see what the latest is, if there’s been any progress?

Sharon: [ Sighs ] You know I want to, but rey said for us to just sit tight. He will call as soon as he knows anything more. He knows how anxious we are.

Tessa: The waiting is killing me. We still don’t know where mariah is. She could be just around the corner. If it really was stitch —

Sharon: I’m really having a hard time believing that it was. I’ve known this man for years. I mean, he was dylan’s best friend. And the man that I knew would never be involved in anything like this, so I just don’t want to jump to conclusions right now. Maybe mariah’s phone was planted in his room.

Tessa: What I can’t get out of my mind — he was there. When we talked about mariah, when we shared how worried we were, wondered who might have her. He was listening to our deepest fears. He was there. When we talked about tricking the kidnapper into thinking that we thought that she was just taking a break.

Sharon: Yeah, he was. But that still doesn’t prove anything.

Tessa: Don’t you see? If stitch is the kidnapper, he was always one step ahead of us because he — we told him exactly what we were gonna do.

Victor: Yes, you do the same. Okay.

Rey: Victor, I’m gonna have to head out, too, so please don’t try to be a hero. If your team finds stitch first, I want to be the first to know. Okay, I don’t need you taking the law into your own hands.

Victor: Rey, the same goes for you, alright? If the gcpd should find out where the bloody bastard is, you let me know right away. Is that clear?

Rey: Yes, I promise I will keep you posted.

Victor: Thank you.

Rey: Okay.

Devon: Okay, so, hey, my pi denise just found something out. Stitch wasn’t in iowa city when he said he was.

Rey: So that probably means that stitch never left town. He might be doing this all on his own, taking care of mariah all by himself. You know what I’m gonna do?

Devon: Hmm.

Rey: I am gonna run a check on his credit cards, see if we can find a pattern. We can see where he goes, shops, what he buys. Could be a pretty damn good place to start looking for her.

Devon: Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Rey: Yeah, kevin? Really? You sure? Okay, thank you, man. Yeah, yeah, I owe you.

Devon: What’d he say?

Rey: Kevin was able to retrieve a glitch-free version of the security footage from the convenience store that stitch said he went to. And it doesn’t line up with the story that stitch tried to sell us.

Devon: Oh, I bet it doesn’T. Let me guess, there was no old man buying protein bars, right?

Rey: Bingo.

Devon: My question is, why would stitch go through the trouble of making up something like that, knowing that we’re gonna look into it and you’re gonna investigate?

Rey: You know what? We were lucky enough to find footage in the first place. Most store would’ve recorded over the footage by now. The fact of the matter is, is that stitch lied again, and all the evidence is pointing directly at him.

Devon: Right, but it’s not pointing to where he is or where he’s keeping mariah.

Mariah: Okay, bowie. I got to talk to you before things get challenging. And by “challenging,” I mean off-the-charts painful.

[ Exhales sharply ] It doesn’t look like there’s gonna be much of a welcome wagon for you, okay? It’s just gonna be me. But that’s okay, alright? It’s fine. Women have been doing this do-it-yourself childbirth for thousands of years. Way before there were doctors or hospitals.

[ Sniffles ] Ohh. Oh!

[ Groaning ] Back when all you had were just friends. Or your mom.

[ Sniffles ] Or someone who really loved you to help you face this incredibly scary thing.

[ Groans ] Okay, I’m not gonna think about that now. Oh! Not gonna think about that now.

[ Sighs ] We have towels. We have hot water. I don’t — I don’t really know what that’s for, but they’re always saying “boil hot water” in the movies, so there it is. I’m as ready as I can be. Oh, god. Okay, another contraction any second.

[ Groaning ] Please help us. Please.

[ Sniffles ] If anybody’s listening, please help. Oh!

[ Groaning ] Ohh! Ahh! Ahh!

[ Groaning ]

Feel the cool rush of

claritin cool mint chewables.

Abby: Ben, I am — I am so sorry that you’ve been so unhappy. I can’t imagine what that must feel like. To feel like things are never gonna get better, I mean, that would drive anyone to do desperate things.

Stitch: Unforgivable things.

Abby: No. No, that’s not true. I would never judge you. And I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. You would never hurt anyone.

Stitch: Because you know me. The real me.

Abby: Yeah, just like you know me. And you knew every time I was upset about mariah, you would — you would come — you would come for me. And you would say everything’s gonna be alright, and you know what? You made me believe that. But that’s because you had a different view. Because you knew mariah was fine. And you knew she was gonna come home. That was your plan, right?

Stitch: Yeah.

Abby: You know what? Um… I — I think this is good. I think this is good that this is all coming out.

Stitch: I didn’t mean for it to get this far.

Abby: I know. But you know what? Look, I can — I can help you.

Stitch: I was — I was go– I was gonna let her go.

Abby: Yeah, I believe you. But I think it’s better for that to happen sooner instead of later.

Stitch: What was I thinking? I screwed all this up. I was just trying to bring us closer together. I needed a — I don’t know what I needed. A lifeline.

Abby: Yeah. And I can — I can be that for you. But first, we just have to clean up this whole mess.

Stitch: We can’T.

Abby: Yes, we can. Step by step, okay? And the first step is making sure that mariah and the baby are okay. Will you take me to them?

Rey: I got to call sharon.

Devon: Alright, I’m gonna try and get ahold of abby again.

Rey: Okay. Hey, sharon. Hey, yeah. Have you been in touch with abby lately?

Abby: No. I haven’t heard from her in hours. Is there any news about stitch? Do we know why mariah’s phone was found in his room?

Rey: I am now convinced that stitch was involved with mariah’s disappearance. He lied about being in iowa, and he lied about seeing someone suspicious in the convenience store.

Sharon: Are you sure about that?

Tessa: Sure about what?

Sharon: They think stitch kidnapped mariah.

Rey: I saw all the footage for myself. There was no older man buying protein bars. He made the whole thing up.

Sharon: Do you know where stitch is right now?

Rey: No, and he doesn’t know that he’s our person of interest, but I put out an apb.

Sharon: Okay. What do we do if we see him?

Rey: Nothing. Do not confront him. Do not attempt to handle this on your own. You call me, you hear me?

Sharon: We will.

Devon: Hey, yo, yo, denise just found out something.

Rey: Alright, sharon. Listen, I got to go, but I’ll be in touch as soon as I can. Just know we’re getting close, okay? Love you. Yeah.

Devon: She said there’s a house in town that was rented two months ago to ben russell.

Rey: Russell?

Devon: According to denise, that’s his birth name.

Rey: We got an address?

Devon: 787 willow lane.

Rey: Willow lane? That’s the same street that stitch said the convenience store was on.

Devon: That’s right. Let’s go.

[ Knock on door ]

Victor: Abby? It’s your dad. Abby? Abby? Abby?

[ Cellphone rings ] Yes, rey? Well, one second. I am at abby’s right now. I just knocked on the door, and no answer. I walked in, still no answer. The door was unlocked. Right. Then I found her phone. Well, she obviously left it behind. Willow lane? Well, I certainly you’ll find mariah there. What about stitch?

Abby: Mariah, oh, my god! You’re in labor! Come here! I’ve got big news!

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Abby: It’s okay. I am here, and everything is gonna be just fine. Um, how are you doing, aside from the obvious?

Mariah: Are you real?

Abby: I don’t understand.

Mariah: I’ve been — I’ve been having so many dreams of people coming — coming to rescue me, like — like tessa. I just — am I making you up?

Abby: No, no, no. I — I am very, very real.

Mariah: Oh, my god. Oh, my god, you’re really here. Oh, my god.

Abby: And I am not going anywhere without you.

Mariah: I was so scared.

Abby: So were we. So were we.

Mariah: I thought you guys would never find me. I thought I was gonna have to do this all alone.

Abby: No, it’s —

Mariah: We need — we need to get to the hospital. I think there’s still time, okay?

Abby: Wait, wait, wait, it’s okay, it’s okay. I, um — I brought a, uh —

Mariah: A what?

Abby: I, um — I brought my car. I brought my car. I brought my car, so, um, yeah, I’m gonna take you to the hospital, and everything is gonna be fine.

Sharon: I can’t believe that it was stitch. I mean, I can’t imagine him doing anything so vicious. What could have happened to this man in the last few years to make him change so drastically?

Tessa: I mean, whatever it is, it’s nothing compared to what I’ll do if I get ahold of him. He snatched mariah out of our lives and locked her away somewhere. She’s spent how many days terrified and alone? Meanwhile, he tried to convince us nothing was wrong by sending those phony texts. And he watched us as we grew more and more scared, when we realized that she was being held against her will. Was that fun for him? Did he get a sick thrill out of it?

Sharon: I don’t have any answers. I can’t explain this. I just know I’m hoping that when they do find him, he’ll tell us where mariah is. And rey said he’s getting close.

Tessa: I just wish that we knew more so we could aid in the search. Did rey reach abby already?

Sharon: No, he said he can’t get ahold of her. Maybe I should try.

Abby: Alright, how you doing?

Mariah: Now that I know you’re real and I’m on my way to the hospital, I feel like a million bucks.

Devon: Mariah!

Abby: We’re in here.

Devon: Oh, my god. Been scared to death. Are you alright?

Mariah: I’m so glad to see you.

Devon: I’m glad to see you, too. Abby, how’d you get here?

Abby: It’s a long story. I’ll have to explain on the way to the hospital ’cause mariah is in labor.

Devon: You’re in labor right now?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Where the hell is —

Abby: He brought me here, and now he’s gone, and I don’t know where he is. My one priority is mariah right now.

Devon: Alright, I understand.

Rey: House is clear. No one else is here.

Devon: Well, he couldn’t have gotten that far, so keep looking for him. I’ll stay with them. I got this.

Rey: Mariah, sharon and tessa are gonna be so relieved that you’re okay.

Mariah: I miss them so much.

Abby: Okay, come on, mariah. We’ll have to see sharon and tessa when we get to the hospital.

Mariah: [ Groaning ]

Abby: Got it? Got it?

Mariah: Oh. No, no, no!

Devon: Alright?

Mariah: Ahh!

Abby: Another contraction? Wait, wait, that’s very close to the last set of contractions that she just had.

Mariah: They’re getting shorter.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Devon: We’re still okay, though, right? I mean, the first child always takes longer. I heard that from somewhere.

Mariah: I can feel it. I’m not gonna make it to the hospital. The baby is coming now.

[ Groaning ] After my dvt blood clot…

[ Cellphone rings ]

Sharon: It’s rey. Rey. Yeah? You did? Thank you! Thank you so much.

Tessa: What? Tell me something.

Sharon: They found mariah, and she’s safe and abby’s with her.

Tessa: I want to see her. I need to see her.

Sharon: Tessa, hold on, hold on. What? Right now? Which hospital?

Tessa: What?

Sharon: Alright, be careful. I love you.

[ Gasps ] Mariah’s in labor. She’s having the baby right now. Abby’s taking her to memorial and rey is out searching for stitch.

Tessa: What are we waiting for? Let’s go.

Sharon: Okay. No, I told rey that I would call victor first.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Victor: Yes, sharon?

Sharon: Mariah and abby have been found, and they’re safe.

Victor: What about the baby?

Sharon: I hope you’re ready to be a grandfather.

Victor: Are you serious? Oh, my goodness.

Abby: How you doing?

Mariah: [ Groaning ] I feel like I’m having a baby.

Abby: Well, good, because that is exactly what we’re doing.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Mariah: [ Exhales sharply ] What if the emts don’t get here in time?

Abby: You know what? I, um — I have read all of the books and I watched all kinds of videos. I am — I’m very prepared.

Mariah: What does it say i should do?

Abby: Just try to relax.

Mariah: Okay.

Devon: That’s right. Try to relax and also try not to push. Okay, and listen to what nate has to say. I got him on the phone to help out.

Mariah: Hi, nate. I really wish you were here right now.

Nate: Hey, I will see you as soon as the emts get you and the baby to the hospital, okay?

Abby: And until then, your body knows exactly what to do. This is gonna go beautifully.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Mariah: I like your confidence. Oh. Ohh!

Devon: It’s okay.

Mariah: Ow, ow! Oh, this really hurts.

Devon: It’s okay.

Mariah: Ahh!

Devon: Hey, nate, what should I do, man?

Nate: Alright, breathe with her, like this.

[ Inhales deeply ]

[ Exhales deeply ]

Devon: Okay, alright. Hey, you hear me? We got to breathe. Got to breathe. In through your nose.

[ Inhales deeply ] Out through your mouth.

Mariah: [ Exhales sharply ]

Devon: Do it again, do it again.

Mariah: [ Exhales sharply ]

Devon: There you go. You got it.

Mariah: [ Whimpers ]

Devon: Keep doing it. Keep doing it.

Mariah: Ahh.

Devon: You got this. Hey, I am in awe of you and how well you’ve taken care of yourself and this baby through this whole ordeal, mariah. Okay? You’re amazing. Okay, let’s bring this little guy into the world. I know it’s not how we planned, but it’s gonna be just fine.

Abby: In all of my fantasies about how this would go —

Mariah: I hope this doesn’t look anything like it.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Abby: No, but in every single one of them, I was just thanking god for you. You are my best friend and my cheerleader and you are this baby’s fierce protector. And I am forever grateful for you.

Mariah: I think he’s gonna be a cool little dude.

Devon: Oh, I guarantee he will be. And I can’t wait to meet him.

Mariah: Ahhh. I think that’s — that’s gonna be sooner than you think. I feel like I need to push.

Devon: You do?

Mariah: Yeah.

Devon: Okay.

Mariah: Yeah.

Devon: Um…

Nate: Okay, it’s time.

Mariah: Okay.

[ Exhales sharply ] Okay, I’m ready.

Abby: Alright, this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for.

Devon: That’s right. Keep breathing, keep breathing.

Mariah: Ahhhh! Ahh! Mm!

Devon: You got it, you got it.

Mariah: Ahh!

Abby: You’re doing good, mariah. You’re doing really good.

Mariah: Ahhh!

Devon: You got it.

Abby: You’re doing so good, mariah. Doing great.

Nate: Dig down deep. You’ve got this.

Devon: You’re doing it. You’re doing it. You really are. Just breathe, okay? Just breathe.

Abby: Oh, my god. [ Laughs ]

Devon: What is it? What is it?

Abby: I can see his head.

Devon: Yeah?

Mariah: What does he look like?

Abby: He’s beautiful. He’s so beautiful.

Devon: Just keep going. Keep breathing. You can do it.

Nate: Alright, mariah, listen, you’re doing great. Now, when you’re ready, give me one more big push.

Abby: Mariah, are you ready? You got this.

Devon: You got this, you got this.

Mariah: [ Whimpers ] Ahhh!

Devon: You got it.

Mariah: Mm! Ahh! Ahhh!

Abby: [ Laughs ] Oh, my god.

Devon: Good job.

Abby: He’s here. He’s here. Mariah, you did it.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: Good job, good job.

Kids can change minds.

Mariah: How does he look?

Abby: Oh, he’s perfect.

[ Chuckles ] He has the cutest little fingernails.

Devon: Gosh, and the rest of him is just as adorable.

Mariah: Nate, why hasn’t he — he cried? Are his lungs mature enough?

Nate: Okay, you need to clear his airway. Make sure there’s no fluid in his nostrils.

Abby: Can I just use my finger?

Nate: Yeah, don’t be afraid. Just be gentle.

Abby: Come on, baby. Come on.

[ Baby crying ]

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Devon: Listen to the pipes on this kid.

[ Laughs ]

Abby: [ Laughs ]

Mariah: He’s a champion breather. Thanks, nate.

Abby: That’s the sweetest sound I’ve ever heard.

[ Laughs ]

Devon: Oh, my goodness. Mm. There you go.

[ Baby stops crying ]

Mariah: Devon’s got the magic touch.

Nate: Man’s a secret baby whisperer.

[ Sirens wailing in distance ]

Mariah: Is that an ambulance I hear or is that just a hallucination?

Abby: Oh, no, I hear it, too.

Mariah: Oh, thank god they’re here, even though they are a little late.

Devon: It’s just your welcome wagon. Pretty soon everyone’s gonna come in here and make sure you’re okay. They just want to make sure you’re happy and healthy.

Abby: You did it.

Mariah: We did it. Oh, thank god he’s okay.

Abby: Happy birthday, baby chancellor.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] Welcome to the world, little man.

[ All chuckle ]

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Nick: If I wasn’t in the picture, would you be tempted to get back together with jack?

Ashland: Give me a second.

Nate: Are you sure? Are you really okay?

Adam: So I was thinking that you might like to accompany me to the party to celebrate the official launch of newman media tomorrow.

Sally: We’ll see.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Okay, I am not in the mood, jax. Not at all. No, no, no, I-I came to apologize.

[ Sighs ] Okay, go on. I am sorry that I made josslyn’s special dinner awkward. I hope you plan on apologizing to josslyn, too. Yes, of course I’m gonna apologize to her. I — c-can we just start over? Mrs. Corinthos. Mr. Buscema. Well, uh, welcome to the metro court, it’s an honor to have you. Well, I’m honored to be your guest. I was just telling the groom I received your “save the date” this morning — hand-delivered, no less. Well, I had to make sure you got it. Consider this my rsvp. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. And I’m sure the late mr. Corinthos’ other business associates won’t, either. Jason: Excuse us.

[ Exhales sharply ] Okay, if that guy is any indication of the guest list, our daughter is not coming within a mile of your wedding. Uh, alexis? There’s two visitors here to see you. No way. Spencer?

[ Gasps ] You’re all grown up. Well, it depends on who you ask. So, any rules in here about hugging your favorite loved ones? Since when do you care about rules? Yeah, good point. Oh.

[ Laughs ] Hey, your father said you were back in town, but he didn’t say you were visiting here. Yeah, my father doesn’t really keep up with what I’m doing these days, and, uh, I intend to keep it that way. Hi, sweet girl. I miss you so much. And ever since this was left for me, it’s all I can think about. Such a cruel reminder of how I couldn’t protect you. Of how my spite pointed ryan in your direction. How he took your life out of some… sick desire to please me. I will always regret…

[ Sighs ] I don’t even know where to begin. I have so many regrets.

[ Footsteps approaching ] Nikolas: So do I. That ought to do the trick. What are you doing, maxie? Oh. Can I help you somehow? Oh, no, thank you. Um, I thought I left something here, but it seems to be gone. They probably have a lost and found. Oh, yes. I’ll check there. Last time I saw you, you were leaving town. Did that help? Afraid not. That’s the thing with some problems — no matter where you go, they will follow you there. Dr. Obrecht: What is this problem you need solved? He’s alive, aunt liesl. Peter? Are you certain? Yeah, I’m certain. He’s here in nixon falls. You and — and nina aren’t just business associates, are you? I’d like to think we’re also friends. “Friends.” What do I get the feeling she doesn’t like you very much?

[ Laughs ] Well, you certainly don’t mince words. Do you, mike? I call it… the way I see it, and the way I see it is… you make nina very uncomfortable. So, I think it’s probably time for you to get out of town. And tonight’s winning numbers are 18, 18 55, 39, 71, and 43 we won! Yes! Noooo… noooo… noooo… quick, the quicker picker upper! Bounty picks up messes quicker and each sheet is 2x more absorbent, so you can use less. I’ll hold onto that. Bounty, the quicker picker upper. I thought I was managing my moderate to severe crohn’s disease. Then I realized something was missing… …me. My symptoms were keeping me from being there for her. So, I talked to my doctorand learned humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for people with crohn’s disease. The majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief in as little as 4 weeks. And many achieved remission that can last.

Humira can lower your ability

to fight infections.

Serious and sometimes

fatal infections,

including tuberculosis,

and cancers,

heart failure.

Tell your doctor

if you’ve been to areas

where certain fungal

infections are common

and if you’ve had tb,

hepatitis b,

are prone to infections,

or have flu-like symptoms

or sores.

Don’t start humira

if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible.

Now with a new look. Hwein. I knew we hadn’tseen the last of him. Has he made contact? Unfortunately, and he’s as malignant as ever. If you’re able to speak freely, he must no longer be with you. Well, he’s just outside, so I have to make this fast. Nina, if you are in jeopardy, you must call for help. No, I’m not. I mean, he’s made threats, of course, but I’m not in any immediate danger. Not yet. So, you haven’t called authorities?

No, I haven’T. Good. A jailhouse is too good for peter august. I have much better plans for him. Oh, nina and I are not exactly friends. Yeah, I got that impression. We’re more like professional rivals. So, any tension you sense is nothing more than healthy competition, mike. You think you’re a good liar, peter? You got a better shot of playing the lottery than playing me. Phyllis: Mike. Is that how you treat nina’s guest? Well, uh, at any rate, I’m happy to see you’re back. Thank you, dr. Gatlin-holt. Please. I do love being a doctor — I love it. But after everything we’ve been through, I’d hope you’d call me “austin.” Of course. Yeah, I’m sorry. I just — I have a lot on my mind right now. Of course. Anyway, goodbye, doc– [ Laughs ] Uh, austin.

[ Laughing ] Yeah. Bye. Well, well. You’re making yourself quite at home here, huh? Just a routine follow-up. Let’s get back to business. Yeah, now you’re talking my language. Um, this document… it’s gold. It’s your ticket to ride. That guy is a colleague. Oh, give me a break. Everything about that guy screams “gangster.”

[ Scoffs ] Go to hell, jax. “Buscema”? That’s his name? What, you don’t think I know who the five families are? Yeah, I-I learned everything about them when sonny became josslyn’s step-father, and I just gave myself a little refresher course when that joey novak guy approached her. Okay. Not only will josslyn be at my wedding, she’s the maid of honor. You need to realize that josslyn is an adult, and she gets to make her own decisions. Yes. But josslyn’s decisions should be informed ones, don’t you think? And won’t she be heartbroken when she finds out she’ll be standing up for a sham marriage? Thank you for meeting with me, mr. Morgan. I’ll be brief. Like you, I’m concerned about the novak organization’s lack of control over joey. Approaching mrs. Corinthos’ daughter…

[ Sighs ] Unacceptable. I intend to make my feelings known to vincent. Well, like you, mr. Buscema — like any of us… I won’t tolerate my family being threatened — especially now that my family and mrs. Corinthos’ are about to become one and the same. And I respect that. How did you find me here? No, do– don’t tell me. You asked my bodyguard. Don’t be angry at him. It was my fault. Oh, I’m aware. I knew I should have hired my own. I actually offered the job to shawn butler, but he’s busy tracking down whoever framed him for trying to kill hayden barnes. I’m not here to talk about shawn butler. You shouldn’t be here at all. You know very well it’s dangerous for us to be seen together. I only need a minute, and I figured we wouldn’t have much of an audience here. Well, we somehow had an audience at the gallery, didn’t we? Well, you’re here now, so you may as well say whatever it is you came to say. No, no, I feel bad for intruding. What is that? It’s just a little gift our stalker left for me after they torched my car.

[ Sighs ] I’m so sorry. I just — I convinced myself that spencer was the stalker.

[ Sighs ] I was wrong. Very wrong. Which leaves us with one very alarming fact. This danger is real. Aunt alexis, I’d like to introduce you to my girlfriend, esme prince. You brought your girlfriend to prison.

[ Chuckles ] How lovely. Oh, nice to meet you. Pleasure’s all mine. N sivelyeffusive about you. Ah. Well, I’m afraid he’s been utterly tightlipped about you. Why are you keeping her a secret? Yes, spence. Why is that? Spence? So, it’s true. Ryan chamberlain is here. Every single day. Someone should make sure that freak of nature never draws another free breath. At philadelphia, we know what makes the perfect schmear of cream cheese. The recipe we invented over 145 years ago and me…the world’s best, and possibly only, schmelier. Philadelphia. Schmear perfection. Dull skin? Swipe it away. Garnier brightening micellar water. Now with vitamin C. Micelles work like a magnet. In one swipe gently cleanse, remove makeup, and brighten. Micellar water with vitamin C. By garnier, naturally. (Lucky) ooh! Me charms! (Kids) quick, get em! Nooooooooooo (lucky) new planets that can duplicate, and rockets help me race! You’ll never get me lucky charms, as I zip around through space! I love me lucky charms, they’re galactically delicious! We women are in the know about everything. So why don’t we know how much estrogen is in our birth control pill? Get to know lo lo. Lo loestrin fe provides pregnancy prevention with the lowest daily dose of estrogen. That’s so lo lo.

Serious risks of birth control

pills include blood clots,

stroke, and heart attack,

which can be fatal.

Smoking increases these risks,

especially if you are over 35,

so lo loestrin fe users

should not smoke.

Don’t take the pill if you’ve

(Announcer) you can quit.

For free help,

call 1-800-quit now. Good to see you, mrs. Corinthos. Or, shall I say, the future mrs. Morgan. I’m looking forward to your nuptials. We’re happy to have you. Until then, good health and long life to you. Same to you.

[ Exhales sharply ] What? Another deal done? Okay, you know what? Um…I don’t know how many times I have to keep telling you this. Jason and I really do love each other, and it’s sad that you can’t accept that. You know, every move you’ve made since sonny died ha– has been to shore up sonny’s illegal business. A-and this — this sprint to the altar is nothing more than theater, and josslyn’s an unwitting player. Don’t expect an invitation, and do not crash the wedding. Tell me something — are you really comfortable putting our daughter on display in front of those dangerous people? Your — your — your “business associates.” You need to go. You need to leave. And you need to care enough about your kids to not paint bull’s-eyes on their backs. But, hey, if joss gets killed, you’ll still have sonny’s blood money to keep you warm. Did you hear that? Yeah, I heard enough. Whatever. I gotta get back to work. Okay, hey, hey. Not — not like this.

[ Gasps ] Well, I need a drink, but i can’t because I’m on the job. But I’m the boss, so I can do whatever the hell I want, right? Ho– hold on. Jason… just come with me. Come on. Well, this correspondence is evidence that edward quartermaine intended to include your father an inheritor of elq voting shares. I thought so. Yep, it’s good. So, tomorrow, I’ll go to the courthouse and see if I can move the hearing up a little bit. Okay. How long before we hear back from them? A couple days? Couple of weeks? Well [Sighs] The wheels of justice, you know, they turn very, very, very slowly. So, don’t panic while I’m out of town. Out of town? Yep. Where are you going? Oh, I’m — I’m going to a tropical, romantic island where I’ll be doing all kinds of fun stuff that you do on an island. But when I get back, we will get your shares of elq. Believe me. Ah, well, could you get this drink? Uh, you’re gonna be rolling in dough very soon. Kevin gave me the broad strokes. Have you spoken to spencer? He refuses to have anything to do with me. My son is ignoring my calls, my texts, my emails. I even tried to message him on social media. Nothing. Can laura run interference? Yeah, my mother has made it clear that she is sick of my antics, too. I’m so sorry. You warned me. You told me not to accuse spencer unless I was absolutely sure. And I know that you even sent my mother and kevin to stop me. I didn’t know what else to do. You did everything you could. You always do. I just — I just wish I had listened. Honestly, I wish I’d been wrong. I mean, things would be so much better for everybody if spencer had been our stalker. Pretty sweet gig for a serial killer.

[ Clears throat ] Minimum security, full-time attendants. How is that legal? It’s absurd. And when I inquired about it, I was told to butt out. And if I didn’t like it, there was a nice cement wall and a shiv waiting for me at pentonville. You told me it was dr. Collins’ twin brother, but it didn’t quite prepare me. I’m glad he’s a vegetable now. Spencer! His condition is called locked-in syndrome. It means that he’s not able to — he can’t move or speak, but his brain, his mind, they’re as sharp as ever. You’ve heard of it? I saw a movie about it. It was a true story based on the locked-in guy’s memoir — which he wrote by blinking out every letter one by one. And that’s what ryan’s going through now? That sounds like hell. Good. Delightful. Come on, have a seat. I don’t want to spend the rest of my visit with you talking about ryan. I’m sorry, it’s just — how are you? Pretty much as you see me. This is as good as it gets.

[ Laughs ] What’s going on with your father? I figured if you could forgive him for faking his own death, you could forgive him anything. You’d be mistaken. Clearly, your father did not heed my advice. He accused you of stalking ava, didn’t he? Oh, my god, thank you so much! Oh! Oh. I got it. Oh, sorry. Oh, jax! Maxie. There you go. So, you’re back to planning weddings, huh? Yeah! Carly and jason’S. Isn’t it great they’re getting married? Mr. Sinclair, please… forgive my friend mike. He’s the most loyal, protective guy you’ll ever meet, which means, sometimes, courtesy takes a back seat.

[ Chuckles ] No apology necessary. I’m just glad to know nina has such good friends here in nixon falls. Knowing nina, I’m sure she would do anything in her power to make sure all of you are protected in return. Peter wants me to use my connection to valentin to help him find louise, and if I don’T… he’ll take james. Henrik is targeting my grandson?

Yes. His exact words were, if I don’t help him, james will be “more than an adequate replacement.” Nina, you know, there is only one way to deal with him. I know, aunt liesl. And if you can’t for any reason… I’ll do it myself. Oh, I will most definitely manage it. I must go, meine liebe nichte. Whatever happens, do not panic. Keep your head on straight. I’ll ring you soon. Okay. Nina? Who was that? What if I told you… the best place to begin is within. With collagen, that supports our body from the inside, out. Because when we feel supported from within… our confidence… comes from way deeper. It’s within us. Okay, we’re not gonna ask for discounts on floor models, demos or displays. Shopping malls can be a big trigger for young homeowners turning into their parents. You ever think about the storage operation a place like this must rely on? -No. They just sell candles, and they’re making overhead? You know what kind of fish those are? -No. -Eh, don’t be coy. [ Laughs ]

[ Sniffs, clears throat ] Koi fish. It can be overwhelming. Think a second. Have we seen this shirt before?

Progressive can’t save you

from becoming your parents.

But we can save you money

home and auto with us. But you know what? I’m still gonna get it.

Do I need to pretreat my

laundry? Nope! With tide pods, you don’t need to worry. The pre-treaters are built in. Tide pods dissolve even when the water is freezing. Nice!

If it’s got to be clean, it’s

got to be tide.

Tums, tums, tums, tums

tums chewy bites ur clientswere never able to lie to you. Rarely. Stop deflecting. Your father and I know about the letter that ryan sent you. Which I returned. Unopened. Spence, uh, sorry to interrupt. I saw a vending machine in the lobby. Can I get either of you anything? No, thank you. Lovely girl. Mm-hmm. Intuitive. Yeah. Lovely and intuitive. Just like you. Clearly, you’ve picked up your father’s tactic for evading uncomfortable conversations. I am nothing like my father. You’re right — if spencer had been our stalker, he would be getting help right now. And you and avery, you’d be coming home. And instead, my son and I…

[Sighs] We’re more alienated than ever. And here we are. Together. Which is an open provocation of our stalker. The irony isn’t lost on me that finding you here is going against your expressed wishes. But I’m sorry, ava. I’ve lost my son and my mother. I can’t lose you, too. Would you like to continue with “moby dick,” or would you like to read “frankenstein” again? Okay. You know, I find it interesting that you’re so fascinated with a book about a monster written by a woman. Excuse me? Hi. Um, I’m hoping you could help me. I’m here visiting my boyfriend’s aunt, and she was telling me about mr. Chamberlain’s locked-in syndrome. I’ve never heard of that before. Um, put simply, my patient has lost voluntary control of all his muscles except for his eyes, but his cognitive function remains unaffected. So, mr. Chamberlain knows that I’m here asking about him? Yeah, people with locked-in syndrome like mr. Chamberlain are fully alert and aware of their environments. May I speak to him? Uh — ryan, is it okay if this young woman speaks with you? He said, “go right ahead.” Hello. What did he say? He said, “hi, there.” Good evening, my waffelstrudel. So, I’m very excited to go to st. Lucia and soak up the sun with you. Perhaps this is not the right time to venture to an island. Why not? I mean, that’s all you’ve been talking about — going to the conference for britt. So, what’s going on? What changed your mind? I wondered why you were trying to hustle me out of here. It’s a good thing I had to go back for my glasses. Phyllis, the guy’s creepy. He doesn’t deserve courtesy. As long as he’s in my bar, he does. Well, that’s why at’s with you? You always take an immediate dislike to anyone who gets close to nina. Not — not anyone. It’s been two people! Peter and elijah well, maybe it’s time you questioned why your first reaction is to be suspicious of anyone from nina’s former life. Was that valentin? No, it was just “crimson” business. If you will just leave, peter, I will calm down, and I will call valentin and get what you need. Fine. But if you double-cross me before little james and I leave town to start our new life, I will not only wreck this fantasy you’ve got going here in little nowheresville, but I will make sure you can never show your face in port charles ever again.

And more sheets. Wait, what the hell’s going on? Where — where are my servers? Well, I had the place closed for a private party. When?! When I saw jax unloading on you. It was this, or I was gonna punch him right in the face. Uh — you were not gonna punch him in the face. Oh, I would have, but I stopped myself because of josslyn. She doesn’t deserve to be in the middle of this. She doesn’T.

[ Both sigh ] I mean, jax, he just doesn’t get it — doesn’t get why we’re getting married. And the way he’s acting, I’M… I’m starting to think he doesn’t know anything about you. Maybe not. But you do. So, are you feeling weird about carly getting married again, especially now that you’re single? You know, carly is important to me. We share a child together. I don’t want to see anything bad happen to her, so… that’s not what you asked me. You asked me if I felt weird about carly getting married, and the answer is no, I don’T. Okay, forgive the observation, but you seem less than thrilled. U-um, how is nina doing, by the way? She seems happy. Yeah, um — um, you know, she’s — she seems happy that she has a relationship with wiley again. I just hope that we can be friends when she, uh — when she comes back. Oh, well, I didn’t get the impression that nixon falls was a detour for nina. I got the feeling she was putting down roots. How’s it gonna feel, nina? Not to be able to hold that precious grandson of yours ever again. Hmm? When michael and carly find out what you’ve been keeping from them — when mike discovers that this grandson you’re so afraid of losing is also his — you’ve made your point. Oh, I haven’t even gotten started with jax yet. Your knight in shining armor. How’s he gonna feel when he finds out you’ve been playing footsie with carly’s husband? A man he loathes. Of course I must attend the conference. It’s imperative I hear the latest research findings on huntington’S. But there’s no need for you to sit through those boring presentations. Well, first of all, I-I’ve been to my fair share of legal conferences. And there’s one thing I have learned, and that is that once you sign in, your colleagues, they don’t know whether you’re sipping martinis, laying on the beach… or elsewhere. You, mein liebling, are a genius. I’ve heard rumors of that. We shall discuss how much — or how little — I should pack just after I make a quick phone call. You haven’t lost me, nikolas. You still have my heart. I mean, if anything, our stalker’s attempt to come between us has backfired magnificently, hasn’t it? Just made us love each other more. So there is a silver lining. Who knew? But we are under siege. And until we find out who is doing this — and we will find out who it is. I hope, so… because the threats… they’re escalating. N-nobody has been hurt yet, but how long before somebody is? I can’t live like that. Can you? No. But I can’t live without you, either. Than we are at an impasse. Our stalker doesn’t want us together, and we can’t seem to stay apart from one another. So, then, it’ll be my job to keep us part. How far apart? Oceans apart. Nicholas was trying to teach you a lesson. By pretending to stab me? Okay, that was a bad idea. I told him it was a bad idea, but he did it anyway, and I’m sorry that that hurt you. But I’m also sorry for your father. How can you possibly feel sorry for my father? Because he was raised in the middle of a tug of war for power between helena and stefan. Can you imagine how hard it is to grow up in that environment and be able to have a moral compass? To know right from wrong? I mean, honestly, spencer, do you have any idea how lucky you are? It is so nice to speak with you. That’s incredible. Does, uh, mr. Chamberlain do all of his communication through you? Why do you ask? Oh, I’m starting classes at pcu soon and plan on going to medical school. Is that right? So, I imagine working with patients with rare diagnoses, there’s never a dull moment, right? True enough. Fascinating. I have an idea. Uh, maybe I could volunteer here. What’s he saying? He’s saying, “go, go, go.” Over and over again. You’d never want leftover food residue on your surfaces. But that’s what you could be doing with a used dishcloth. So, switch to bounty for a more hygienic clean. Unlike used dishcloths that can redistribute residue, bounty keeps your surfaces cleaner.

Kellogg’s special K. Nina neededwas a reason to come home. Well, now she has a reason to stay. Phyllis? I should really get back to wedding planning. Oh, no, no, no. Come on, maxie. W-w-what’s the real reason nina is staying in nixon falls? Okay. It’s not a “what.” It’s a “who.” Nina has found someone special, and I’m under the very strong impression that it’s getting serious. You’ve been keeping sonny’s identity from him just to get back at carly. You know, you don’t think that I know what I have done and what I have to lose? It’s just so much fun to remind you, nina. Okay, why don’t you just get out, you psycho? So I can get you a lead on louise.

[ Door opens ] You okay? Yeah, I’m fine. I’m fine. I’m just g– I’m gonna walk peter out, okay? It was nice meeting you, mr. Sinclair. I hope you’ll drop by again. You can count on it. All right, let’s go. See what I mean? There was definitely some tension. “Some tension”? Nina will either explain the situation to us, or she won’T. Until she does, we have to respect her privacy. Mike, if nina doesn’t like mr. Sinclair hanging around, she’ll tell him where to go. You have 24 hours before the people you love suffer the consequences of your stalling. Are we clear? Yes. Good.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Gasps ]

[ Exhales sharply ] Aunt liesl… I can tell by your voice, things have gotten worse. You can say that. I know that under normal circumstances, you would rely on lawful means to end peter’s reign of terror. But since peter has threatened james, that is not an option. Am I right? You’ve read my mind. Mr. Chamberlain can’t want me gone already. Are you sure that’s what he’s saying? Um, sometimes, when they’re tired, people with locked-in syndrome can suffer from eyelid spasms. Well, that must be it. He’s just tired, then. You get some rest now. Thank you so much for your time. I’m sorry, I didn’t catch your name. Harmony. Harmony. I’m esme. You know, I was gonna guess that. You look like an “esme.” I know, right? I hope to come back soon to visit the both of you. I need to get far away from port charles. No, we can — we can still figure out an alternative. There is no alternative that includes the two of us together. My only hope is that I can go far enough off the grid so that the stalker loses interest. You know what I want to do? We grab avery, and we go. You know that defeats the purpose. Yeah. There is something you can do for me, though. Anything. Make peace with spencer.

[ Breathes deeply ] I-I want to. I’m trying. But spencer and his girlfriend, they’ve moved into my mother’s place. Wait, spencer has a girlfriend? Yeah. Apparently, he did have a secret. It just wasn’t one that I suspected. Oh, no. Poor trina. How on earth am I lucky? Look at everything he’s done to me. I have every right to be angry. Furious, livid. Yes, you do. But isn’t the real reason that you’re angry is because he didn’t trust you and that he accused you of stalking ava?

[ Sighs ] I know things are gonna be difficult to fix between you and your father, but it’s worth it. Do not be so focused on punishing him that you end up punishing yourself. Look at this place. It’s beautiful! And you did a — you did a great job. Yeah. Long way from jake’S. Eh, jake’s was okay, too. Jake’s was paradise. I wouldn’t go that far. That’s because, to you, jake’s was a place to shoot pool and drink beer. To me…

[ Sighs ] I’d spend all day, every day, running and lying and manipulating. Chasing… I don’t know what. Some idea of what I thought would make me happy. When what really made me happy… was when I would see you. We’re carvana, the company who invented car vending machines and buying a car 100% online.

Good girl. Now, take a breath. Have some champagne. Give yourself a hug. Soon, peter august will never bother anyone ever again. So, who is, uh, nina’s mystery man? Okay, I don’t have a lot of details… but I will say this — lately, port charles has given nina nothing but pain. Right. Myself included. I’m sorry, but…yes. I think nina wants to keep her life in nixon falls separate from her life here, and that includes the people in it. And I only told you as much as I did because I thought you should know that nina has moved on, and, you know… maybe you should, too. Sorry to interrupt, but that guard is sending dirty looks this way. I think our time is up. Ah, okay. Well, it was nice meeting you, and I’m sorry we didn’t get more of a chance to chat. Same. Well, come back and visit me in prison any time. Esme: [ Laughs ] Plan on it. You, too. And remember what I said. I will.

[ Clears throat ]

Je t’aime. Back at you. Okay, bye. Bye. Um… your nephew’s girlfriend, esme? She’s trouble. You think so? Yeah. As you know, I have a lot of experience with wayward girls. Some are victims. Some are not. If your nephew knows what’s good for him, he’ll steer clear of that one. You know where you’re going? There are some artists that I’ve been trying to woo in europe. That should take a few weeks. After that, who knows? Maybe by then, you can come back. Only if our stalker is caught. And at this rate… I’ll miss you. All want to do right now is try to talk you into staying. All I want to do is let you. Unfortunately… I’ve learned my lesson, and I’m done trying to control people that I love. What a lousy time for you to start to build some character. Promise you’ll come back. I promise that I will love you wherever I am. Back then, when I would walk into jake’s and you were there… …I knew it was gonna be a good night. Yeah. For me, too. I always thought I annoyed you. Eh, you did.

[ Laughs ] Sometimes. Most of the time. I always, uh… I always liked seeing you. You know what I liked? Oh, no, carly. No. Ugh. Dancing. Oh, come on! You said you brought me here to make me feel better, and dancing would make me feel better.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Will you dance with me? Yes.

There’s a great big world out there

[ Inhales sharply ] I, um — I really need to get back to work. Um… thanks for the beer. S– yeah, any time. Whatever’s going on between nina and peter sinclair, it’s definitely not romantic. That’s not what bothers me about the guy. Well, what is it? When I first met peter yesterday… …I got the feeling he knows who I am.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Kayla: Hey, girlfriend. How is my little henry?

Allie: He’s good; he just had his one-year check-up. He’s doing great.

Kayla: Ah! Well, I bet you could have told him that yourself, huh, pal?

Allie: He is in the 98th percentile for his height.

Kayla: Really?

Allie: Mm-hmm.

Kayla: Well, you better get him a basketball.

Allie: I should.

Kayla: Definitely. All right. Well, I’m off. Good to see you.

Allie: Um, aunt kayla, before you go, can I ask you something?

Kayla: Sure. Is anything wrong?

Allie: No. I just… I just wanted to know how’s tripp doing.

Chanel: [Breathing heavily]

Tripp: Hey, hey, hey. You need a hand?

Tony: Are you sure you don’t wanna go out? We can have lunch. We can drive to the lake.

Anna: Nope! I just wanna spend this afternoon with you, right here and all alone.

Tony: Yeah, for once it doesn’t seem like grand central station around here.

Anna: Ugh! I know. It’s almost like we have– what is that word we never use? Privacy.

[Both laugh]

Tony: Oh, hon, let’s make the best of it.

Anna: Oh, yeah. What?

Tony: I don’t know.

Anna: What’s wrong?

Tony: I have a feeling we’re being watched.

Anna: Well, it’s that darn picture of— you know, sometimes I swear it’s following me with his eyes.

Tony: No, it’s not the portrait, no. It’s something else. Harold? Is that you?

Johnny: Okay, are we ready for the closeup?

Anna: Johnny? Hi!

Steve: I need to brace myself? Why?

Justin: It’s about bonnie.

Steve: Okay.

Justin: And stating the obvious, I know she’s not your favorite person. And I know that our double date a while ago was an absolute disaster. Bonnie pretending to be adrienne was in poor judgement. She knows that now. Anyway, I’m just hoping that we can just–

Steve: Okay, hey, hey, hey, hey, stop. Justin, I don’t have a problem with bonnie anymore.

Bonnie: Ooh. No. Bonnie…

[Gasps] Kiriakis. Yeah, baby. That’s the one. Has a ring to it.

[Sighs] Man, adrienne. Girl, I did you wrong in every way possible. And I’m gonna spend my life making up for that. The best way I can do that is to do my damnedest to make sure I make justin just as happy as you did.

[Clattering] Oh, my god. I can’t believe it. You’re alive.

[Dramatic music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Kayla: As far as I know, tripp is fine. Is there something bothering you that you want to talk about?

Allie: No. No. You were on your way out. So maybe another time.

Kayla: How about now? I was just going to meet steve at the pub, and he is excellent at entertaining himself without me, so… what’s up?

Allie: Okay. Well, the other day, trip told me he loved me. And I didn’t say it back.

Kayla: Okay.

And I don’t know if he talked to you about this. I mean, I don’t want to break a confidence or anything. But after I didn’t say it back, things got kinda awkward. And I don’t know, I just– do you think he’s upset about it?

Tripp: Thank you.

Chanel: Thank you for helping me out with that.

Tripp: Yeah, what the hell was in that box, a couple of anvils?

Chanel: It was an industrial stand mixer. It can knead bread dough for up to eight loaves.

Tripp: And mix concrete?

Chanel: Probably. Anyway, it’s crazy expensive. If I had dropped, it would have cost us a week’s profits.

Tripp: Actually, speaking of “us,” shouldn’t allie have helped you out with that?

Chanel: Oh, she would have. But henry had a doctor’s appointment this morning. He’s a year old, so I guess they have to change his oil and rotate his tires.

Tripp: God, I can’t believe it’s been a year.

Chanel: What a year it’s been. A year ago, I was all that. Now I’m the salemsbury dough girl.

Tripp: I still think you’ve kind of all that.

Chanel: Oh, yeah? And what makes you say so?

Tripp: Maybe because allie told me that you’ve already landed someone new?

Tony: Johnny, look at you. It’s so wonderful to see.

[Laughter]

Anna: We were in the cotswolds when you came back, so we weren’t able to see you. Because we weren’t here. Because we were in the cotswolds.

Tony: Oh, yeah. Yeah. Anna, I think he worked that out.

Johnny: Oh, aunt anna, I’m so happy to see you. And look at you. You haven’t aged a day.

Anna: Oh, well, no, that’s not true. I don’t eat refined grains anymore.

Johnny: Ah. Well, that would explain why you look younger than ever.

Anna: [Laughs] Charmer. And you look marvelous. I mean, who would have thought you’d grow up to be so handsome?

Tony: Anna.

Anna: No, johnny knows what I meant. I meant you were the cutest little boy. And now you’re all grown up. Tempus sure fugited. Time flew by.

Johnny: Ah, yes.

Anna: Oh, johnny. Remember–remember the time I caught you using my expensive hand cream to make slime?

Johnny: Yes, I’m sorry about that.

Anna: No. No. I said it at the time. That boy has a creative instinct. Very fine imagination.

Johnny: Well, I hope so. I’m gonna need it to do what I wanna do.

Tony: And what’s that? Spy on people? Okay, we’re not gonna ask for

Johnny: I wasn’t spying.

Anna: Hmm.

Tony: So what is it– what do you call filming people without their knowledge?

Johnny: Shooting footage. And I gotta tell you, uncle tony, the camera loves you.

Anna: [Coughs] Hello? Hello?

Johnny: And it adores you. I’ll make you both stars.

Anna: Stars.

[Chuckles] What do you mean?

Johnny: I’m makin’ a movie.

Anna: On your phone?

Tony: You can do that?

Johnny: Steven soderbergh does it.

Anna: [Gasps] I loved et.

Johnny: Me too. With the right upgrades, you can get a picture as crisp as any movie camera.

Tony: Huh. And in my day, I used to think that call waiting was an innovation.

Johnny: Here, look.

Tony: Huh.

Anna: Look, we do look amazing, don’t we, tony?

[Both laugh] And so natural. Like we didn’t even know the camera was there.

Tony: Oh, we didn’t know the camera was there, anna. Anyway, this is alla completely revolutionize filmmaking, which is actually why I tracked the two of you down.

Anna: You did?

Johnny: I’m in the process of securing investors, and you and anna could bankroll the entire enterprise.

Justin: So you don’t have a problem with bonnie anymore?

Steve: No. You know, I’ve been working to get past it. And I’m really sorry that I was so hard on her at that dinner. It was unkind to her. And to you.

Justin: Well, I understand that it could have been jarring to see bonnie dress like that.

Steve: Yeah, it was. But with time and a little help from kayla, I was able to get some perspective. I know she was doing it to be accepted.

Justin: Right. Right. That’s what she was going for.

Steve: And anyway, I’m happy that kayla has agreed to be bonnie’s matron of honor. She feels honored to be asked.

Justin: I hope she doesn’t feel like she had to say yes.

Steve: No, no, nothing like that. She’s happy for you and bonnie.

Justin: ‘Cause I would feel bad if she, you know, felt like she owed me. Or you feel like you owe me.

Steve: Did you just segue from friend, brother-in-law, to lawyer?

Justin: [Laughs] Okay, all right. I just wanted to put all the cards on the table before I asked you…

Steve: And here it comes.

Justin: To be my best man.

Calista: Wake up!

Bonnie: [Groans] I’m up. I’m up.

Calista: It’s about time. I thought I was gonna have to get out the smelling salts. Is this how you always greet your guests?

Bonnie: [Groans] You kinda took me by surprise, you know? Ow.

Calista: Obviously.

Bonnie: I mean, it’s been… I dunno, how long has it been? I thought you were long dead.

Calista: Well, you thought wrong. Calista lockhart is alive and well!

Tackling tough messes can

take more time than you have,

Bonnie: Well, hi, calista. Long time no see.

Calista: Missed me?

Bonnie: Mm-mm.

Calista: I didn’t think so. I just don’t think you’re happy to see someone who actually knows your history. And not that crap you spin in your book.

Bonnie: You read it.

Calista: Every lyin’ word of it.

Bonnie: Every word was true and from my heart.

Calista: Oh, and I know all the parts that you left out. Like, you didn’t even bother to mention that you killed my brother.

Bonnie: Well, I didn’t mention it because I didn’t do it.

Calista: Oh, I remember the day you married david. I thought to myself, brother, you have made one big mistake.

Bonnie: I am the one who made the mistake. You have no idea what he put me and my kids through.

Calista: Oh, don’t you know you shouldn’t speak ill of the dead? Especially people that you killed?

Bonnie: All right. I think it’s time you go.

Calista: [Laughs] No. Don’t you wanna know why I’m here?

Bonnie: No.

Calista: Well, it’s not to argue over whether or not you killed my brother.

Bonnie: I didn’t do it.

Calista: It’s the fact that you did kill my husband.

Steve: You want me to be your best man?

Justin: I thought that’s what I just said.

Steve: Well, of course. I’d be honored.

Justin: Of course?

Steve: Yeah, but, I mean, don’t you wanna ask sonny, your son?

Justin: I did. I did, of course, but he can’t make it. He’s in the middle of a crisis at work.

Steve: Okay. I mean, have you talked to bonnie about this? I don’t think she’s gonna want me standing there when you marry her.

Justin: It was her idea.

Steve: Oh.

Justin: She thinks if you and kayla stand up for us, it would say the family approves. It would say that we’re not just some kind of novelty.

Steve: Ah, so kayla and i are salem’s good housekeeping seal of approval?

Justin: [Laughs] Exactly. And also, steve, she likes you.

Steve: C’mon, man. You don’t have to say that.

Justin: No, she does. She really does. She likes how you stick up for adrienne’s memory. And she also likes how you always try to do what’s right for kayla. And she also knows how much you both mean to me. She doesn’t wanna screw that up.

Steve: Okay, right.

Justin: But if this is all too weird for you, I completely understand, steve, I really do. And I’ll figure something out.

Steve: Bonnie would know that I turned you down.

Justin: Well, she knows that I’m here with you now, asking you.

Steve: Okay. Well, I don’t wanna do anything else to hurt her feelings. And I don’t wanna mess up your big day. So I would be happy to be your best man.

Kayla: All I know is that tripp cares about you. A lot.

Allie: And I care about him. It’s just when he said those words, it caught me off guard. I wasn’t expecting him to say that, and I could see he wanted me to say it back to him.

Kayla: Okay, I’m gonna chime in right now. Okay? I think you did the right thing.

Allie: You do?

Kayla: Yes. I mean, how many movies are out there where a guy says “I love you” to a woman, and she melts, and she says, “I love you too”? Where are the movies where the woman says, “well, that’s good to know, and I’ll take that under advisement”? No, I don’t mean to be funny. I don’t mean to be funny. I am just saying that saying I love you to somebody shouldn’t be a conditioned response. I mean, saying “I love you” is a really big deal. It shouldn’t be something that you say because you’ve been given the cue or because you feel so bad that you’re gonna hurt their feelings.

Allie: Yeah. Yeah, you’re right. It’s like I couldn’t say it because I’m not sure. I’m not sure if I love him. But I’m also not sure that I don’t love him.

Kayla: Well, this is your timetable. It’s your call.

Allie: But what I do know, I am sure, is, I like being with him. I miss him when he’s not around. But then there’s our whole long, ugly history. There’s henry. You know, if I asked– I asked tripp to wait, if I tell him I need more time, am I asking too much?

Chanel: I actually did meet someone. We went out last night. But you already know that, right? Horton said you guys almost walked in on our date?

Tripp: Oh, yes. Yeah, we did.

Chanel: Well, you should have come in. I could have introduced you.

Tripp: I guess allie just wanted to give you a chance to get to know each other better.

Channel: Yeah, that’s sweet of her.

Tripp: So how’s it going? Do you think it could turn into something?

Chanel: Maybe. We went by his place afterwards, and things started to heat up. But he didn’t have a condom and either did I, so we didn’t do anything.

Tripp: Wow. That’s a romantic story. Just like “romeo and juliet.”

Chanel: [Laughs] Tmi? Well, the point is that, yeah, we’re getting along really good together. So it might turn into something.

Tripp: Well, I’m glad to hear that.

Chanel: Why do you care?

Tripp: ‘Cause I think it’d be nice if you had someone.

Chanel: ‘Cause then I won’t be in the middle of you and allie?

Anna: Johnny, does your film have a vision? Because I think it’s very important for a film to have a vision.

Johnny: Oh, yeah. I mean, this film, vision, yes.

Anna: Well, then I’m on board.

Johnny: Great.

Anna: Do we get to go to the premiere?

Johnny: Yes, of course. And if we get nominated, you get to go to the oscars. And if we win best picture, it would be you two who accept.

Anna: Tony, we have to go to milan. For my dress.

[Laughs]

Tony: You know, you’ll find that anna has a kind of genius for prioritizing.

Johnny: I see.

Anna: Oh, you know, tony thinks I don’t know that he’s making fun of me. But I do. And I don’t care. Thank you. It’s an honor to just be nominated.

[Laughs] Tony, can’t you just imagine it?

Tony: Yes, I can. I can see you taking hollywood by storm.

Johnny: So does this mean you’ll do it?

Ej: No. He won’T.

Tide pods ultra oxi

Johnny: Hey, dad. Bringing the party with you as always.

Ej: A party? No, I walked in on an investment pitch. A very amateurish investment pitch.

Anna: No, ej, it was great. Tony and I are both very excited.

Ej: Well, you’ll have to find another auteur. Fellini here is joining dimera enterprises.

Johnny: Not that I recall. I recall saying no, dad.

Ej: You astutely turned down the first offer. It was a negotiating ploy.

Johnny: It was a no.

Anna: Well, I have an idea. Johnny could run the dimera film division.

Ej: There is no dimera film division.

Anna: Well, then he could start one. And we could call it dimeraflix.

Tony: I think we should leave ej and johnny alone to speak privately.

Ej: Don’t go yet. Our agreement was that I would take over dimera so you could enjoy the rising profits without actually having to do any work. I’m fine with that. Against the best interests of the company. Financing johnny’s movie is a acting against the interests of the company. Understood?

Tony: Sometimes you forget who you’re talking to. You presume too much. I’m sorry, johnny. Maybe sometime down the road. It’s just not the right time. I hope you understand.

Johnny: Of course I do, fredo.

Justin: So now that you’ve agreed to be my best man, can I ask one more thing?

Steve: Oh, now you’re really pushing it, man.

Justin: Will you not hold it against me for the rest of my life?

[Both laugh]

Steve: I’ll do you one better and I’ll tell you, I think it’s a good idea.

Justin: Ah, really?

Steve: Yeah. I mean, kayla has agreed to be matron of honor. She’s usually right about– well, about everything. But especially about family. And you and I, we’re family because of adrienne. And I know that adrienne would want us to stay family.

Justin: Yeah. She would.

[Sighs] This means a lot to me, steve. And I can’t wait to tell bonnie.

Steve: Yeah. And you know, I shouldn’t have been so high-handed about all the things bonnie did in the past. I mean, all the crap that I did and I was forgiven for.

Justin: She’s been really upfront about everything that she’s done. And she’s really serious about just leaving that past behind her.

Calista: You do remember my husband, harrison lord? The one you plugged full of lead?

Bonnie: Shh! That’s not what happened.

Calista: So you’re denying that you shot my husband to death.

Bonnie: Please! I don’t have time for your grieving widow act.

Calista: Well, honey, I think you better make some time.

Bonnie: You know what one of the loveliest things about living in a place like this? I can just push a button right here, and two big men would come in here and just throw you out on your bony ass.

Calista: Oh, bonnie. Trust me. I don’t think you should do that.

[Humming] I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Bonnie: What’s that for?

Calista: Well, what do you think?

Bonnie: No, you can’t kill me. No, you’d be caught red-handed in 30 secs. Please, you would–please. If I die, I can’t marry justin.

Calista: Oh, calm down. I’m not gonna kill you.

Bonnie: Why the gun?

Calista: Oh, you don’t recognize it? It’s the one you use to send harrison to the hereafter. I just wanted to make sure that you saw your prints are still on it. May I remind you that in a murder case, the statute of limitations, much like your self-absorption, never runs out.

Bonnie: Your point?

Calista: Well, I can use that gun to put you back in the slammer any old time. That is, unless you pay me what’s mine.

Allie: One of the things I love about tripp– god, that word again. That he– after all of the horrible things I said to him– god, I accused him of rape. Held a gun on him. But he’s put all of that behind him. Like I’m not the person who did those things to him.

Kayla: Well, in a way, you’re not.

Allie: He even says he understands why I thought he was the one who–you know. Talk about forgiveness. Not only forgave me, but you should see with henry. I mean, I had no idea that little boys thought it was hilarious to be held upside down, but tripp did. And not to be crude, but he’s not all that bad looking.

Kayla: But?

Allie: He ticks every box. He answers every prayer. But a part of me wonders if what I feel for him is guilt. Like I owe him. Or gratitude because he loves me and he takes care of my child.

[Sighs] Maybe I can’t be honest with him because I’m not being honest with myself.

Kayla: I think you were honest with him. You didn’t parrot back “I love you” because you didn’t know if you did. And like you said, it’s not that you don’t love him. It’s just that you don’t know, one way or the other, right? But this is what I know for sure. In time, you will know one way or the other.

Allie: [Sighs] But what–I mean, he’s just supposed to put his life on hold while I sort out my feelings? I mean, newsflash, he is a sensitive hunk who’s going to be a doctor. I mean, those are a hot commodity. They go fast in this market.

Kayla: You know what? I have seen the way he looks at you. And the way he talks about you. I think he’ll wait for you.

Tripp: You’re not in the middle of me and allie, okay? I just meant that–

Chanel: I know what you meant, and it’s okay. See, I agree. It would be a lot easier on all of us if I had someone else. Then we could just forget that I ever had feelings for allie.

Tripp: I’m glad you feel like that. I mean, you two are such good friends. I’d hate for it to be awkward.

Chanel: Yeah, me too. We work together.

Tripp: Yeah. Hey, I have an idea. You know, why don’t you, me, allie, and the new guy go out together sometime?

Chanel: You guys busy tonight?

Tripp: No. Hey, have you tried that new bar off the square? They have great happy hour.

Chanel: I do love a great happy hour.

Tripp: Yeah, I remember.

Chanel: Okay, and I promise not to stick you with the check this time. Although I may have to pay for my date. Giovanni is having some financial difficulties with his dad.

Johnny: I’m sorry, uncle tony. I’m so sorry. That’s–

Tony: You know, he should know better. But it’s okay.

Johnny: No, it’s not. It just–it came out.

Anna: Honey. Honey. Sometimes, when someone is acting like an imperious jerk, it’s not the imperious jerk who gets yelled at.

Ej: Another county heard from.

Tony: Yes, well, we should take our leave. Try to understand where your father’s coming from. He wants you to follow in his footsteps. He wants you to do something that is stable, secure, safe. Just like racecar driving. Good luck. But I always remember how well you reacted to direct orders.

[Chuckles]

Anna: Johnny, don’t forget to send me the rushes.

Johnny: Well, thanks for doing that publicly. I know I really enjoyed it.

Ej: It was family business.

Johnny: Really? That’s great. I mean, if that’s how the family business goes, I can’t wait to join the firm. Damn it, I was having a private conversation, and you barged in and start issuing orders everywhere?

Ej: You were grubbing for money from your uncle after I turned you down. It seems to me you want all the perks of being a dimera without any of the responsibility. And to be clear, I wasn’t issuing orders.

Johnny: I think uncle tony would disagree with that.

Ej: I’m making you an offer. An offer you have now turned down twice without bothering to listen to what the offer is. You haven’t asked what you’d be doing. You haven’t even seen the offices. How do you know you won’t like working there if you haven’t even tried it? Let’s start from the beginning. I’m happy you’re back. I would like to work with you. I would like you to come with me to the office so I can fill you in on the details. Answer any questions you might have. Spend a little time with my son. Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Ej: So what do you say?

Chanel: Thanks, harold. And remember, sweet bits is right on the square.

Johnny: Chanel, what are you doing here?

Chanel: Looking for you.

Johnny: Ah.

Chanel: Oh, hi. Are you johnny’s dad?

Ej: That’s right. Ej dimera. Pleased to meet you.

Chanel: I’m chanel dupree. Sorry to interrupt.

Johnny: No, it’s no problem. I’m glad to see you.

Chanel: I probably should have called. And mr. Dimera, I do have to compliment you on your amazing home. Talk about curb appeal. My mother’s in real estate. And the only thing you’re missing is a moat and a drawbridge.

Ej: Zoning laws.

Chanel: [Laughs] She could help you with that.

[Both laugh] Anyway, I came by to see if you wanted to join me for a happy hour at this new bar we’re trying out. I want you to meet my bff and her boyfriend.

Johnny: That sounds great.

Ej: But unfortunately, he won’t be able to join you.

Johnny: I won’t?

Ej: You have plans.

Johnny: No, you know, actually, I don’t have any plans and you have incredible timing, because I was just trying to find something to do. So let’s go. As always, great talking to you, dad.

Allie: You really think he’ll wait for me?

Kayla: Yes, I do.

Tripp: Hey, how’d it go?

Kayla: Hey, I thought you were off today.

Tripp: I just wanted to hear about henry’s appointment. Hey, buddy. How’d he do?

Allie: Great. He’s in perfect health.

Kayla: He’s in the 98th percentile on height.

Tripp: Wow. That explains how much he’s been eating lately.

[Laughter] Well, guess who I just ran into. Chanel. She wants us to meet her at that new bar off the square for happy hour, check out the new guy.

Allie: Oh.

Tripp: What do you think?

Allie: I’d have to find a sitter for henry.

Kayla: Ha, no problem. Steve and I would be happy to do it.

Allie: No, I can’t ask you to do that.

Kayla: You’re not asking me. I am volunteering.

Allie: Okay. Thank you.

Kayla: Have a good time.

Tripp: Thank you.

Kayla: Bye.

Tripp: Okay, kayla took over just now. I mean, if you don’t wanna go, if you’re tired or something–

Allie: Tripp–

Tripp: It’s okay.

Allie: I would love to go.

Tripp: Good.

Allie: Besides, can’t wait to see who chanel has her sights on now.

Tripp: Yeah.

Steve: Okay. So when is the wedding?

Justin: Tomorrow.

Steve: Tomorrow?

Justin: Yeah.

Steve: Wow. Okay, that’s soon.

Justin: Oh, yeah, you can still make it, right?

Steve: I’ll clear my schedule. And I will do my duty as best man, and I will get you to the church on time.

Justin: Hey, steve. Really, thanks. I really do appreciate this.

Steve: Welcome, dimples.

Justin: [Laughs]

Bonnie: Pay you? What am I supposed to pay you?

Calista: The money, of course.

Bonnie: I’m not following.

Calista: Okay, so you want me to tell you the whole story? Fine. You remember when buddy’s burger barn had that promotion? Buddy bucks? You’d get one with your meal, and you’d scratch off buddy’s little gold teeth to see what prize you won, and if it said million, you won a million bucks.

Bonnie: Vaguely.

Harrison worked at buddy’s corporate office. He had access to all the buddy bucks. Knew exactly which ones were the winners. But he couldn’t turn it in himself, so he came up with a scam. He asked you to do it in exchange for a cut of the money. He was about to make you a very rich woman. But that wasn’t enough for you, was it? So you killed him and ran off with the money.

Bonnie: But that’s–

Calista: No buts! Those buddy bucks were ours. Harrison might be gone, but I am not. And I want that money. Now.

Kayla: Hey.

Steve: Hey, wait a minute. Did we just have another kid that I didn’t hear about?

Kayla: Very funny. No, we’re gonna babysit this little pumpkin.

Steve: Oh. The day keeps getting better and better.

Kayla: Something wrong?

Steven: Justin asked me to be his best man.

Kayla: And you got in another fight about bonnie?

Steve: No. I said I’d do it.

Kayla: You did?

Steve: Yeah. You know how much I love wearing that monkey suit.

Kayla: Well, it looks so nice on you. But still, I’m surprised you said yes.

Steve: Well, you see, justin said it was bonnie’s idea. And I thought, what the hell? If kayla can do it, so can I.

Kayla: You know what? I’m proud of you.

Steve: Thank you, sweetness.

Kayla: And I think bonnie’s gonna be very happy.

Steve: Good.

Bonnie: Look, I don’t know what you’re thinking, but i don’t have that kind of money.

Calista: You sure about that? I mean, you’re definitely not hurtin’. Looks to me like you’re living pretty high on the hog.

Bonnie: Oh, come on. None of this is mine. It all belongs to my fiancé.

Calista: Justin kiriakis. Well, honey, how do you think I tracked you down? I know all about the kiriakis family and how rich they are. So why don’t you just get that money from him?

Bonnie: No, no, I couldn’T. I wouldn’t even know how to explain it to him.

Justin: Explain what?

Tony: Ah. So how did things go with johnny? Did you manage to rope him into the herd? I’ll take that as no.

Tripp: Looks like we’re the first ones here.

Allie: Yeah. Did chanel go home to change?

Tripp: No, just to get the new guy. Are you ready for his name?

Allie: Mm-hmm.

Tripp: Giovanni.

Allie: That’s weird.

Tripp: How so?

Allie: My brother johnny, that’s what his grandpa used to call him.

Tripp: Could be a coincidence?

Allie: Maybe. But you don’t think– oh, my god, he said he met someone. What if…

[Hayes crying]

Steffy: What the hell is this?!

[Hayes continues crying] Steffy: Put him down. Now!

Sheila: He was–he was fine– he was fine until you came in.

Steffy: Oh, my baby! Come here, baby. Come here, baby. Oh, bubba. Oh, mama’s here.

[Shushing] It’s okay.

Sheila: He’s okay! I wasn’t– I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I was just holding him.

Steffy: You shouldn’t be here. She shouldn’t!

[Hayes fussing quietly] I’m gonna put him in his crib, and then I want some answers.

Finn: What have I done?

Jack: No, it’s my fault. I’ll take the blame.

Finn: How? I’m the one who broke her trust, not you.

Sheila: I–I’m the one. I shouldn’t have put you in this position. I–I think I can make her understand what’s happening.

Finn: No, please. Okay, I–I just… I think it’s best if you leave.

Sheila: No, but we have something in common. Mother to mother, I think i can–I can make her understand. I really do. At least give me a chance. Please, son, I got you into this mess. Let me try and get you out of it.

[Message sent notification]

[Liam sighs]

Liam: Uh, um…

Hope: Surprise.

Liam: Um…

Hope: [Laughs]

Liam: Oh, hey! Hi!

Hope: I got your text. Missing me like crazy. I mean, I can’t have you& going through that.

Liam: How did–

Hope: [Laughs]

Liam: You just–

Hope: And here I thought I would be interrupting some kind of crazy party.

Liam: Oh, yeah, no, you did. Planning a wild night.

Hope: [Laughs]

Liam: Here, what’s going– why are you home?

Hope: Oh, I just couldn’t bear the night away from my husband.

Liam: Oh, yeah, sure, sure. No, totally get that.

Hope: And then the flight was delayed… and then delayed, and then delayed some more. And then steffy bailed and then after sitting on the tarmac for two more hours, I decided it was probably time to reschedule.

Liam: Well…good.

[Both laugh] This is such a great surprise.

Hope: Yeah, well, I’m sure it is for everyone, especially finn. You remember what it was like to be a new father. Having hayes all by himself, I bet he was relieved to see steffy walk through that door.

Jack: I thought steffy was supposed to be leaving town.

Finn: Yeah, she was.

Jack: So what could’ve happened? Why would she come home?

Finn: I have no idea, dad. As far as I know, steffy was supposed to be on a plane.

Steffy: Until I had a bad feeling. A feeling I shouldn’t be on that plane, but it never never occurred to me I’d be walking in on this–sheila holding our son!

Sheila: Don’t get angry with finn. I can explain everything, steffy.

Steffy: No, there’s no explanation for this! None! You had one job! To keep our child safe. You said you understood. You agreed. You agreed not to have sheila in our lives. How could you do this? How? How could you do this after everything she’s done, all the pain she’s caused? How could you put our son in her arms? Darrell’s family uses gain flings now so their laundry

Liam: So when are you, uh– when are you rescheduling this meeting?

Hope: Oh, later in the month. I wanted to give steffy a little more time before she had to take a trip overnight.

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: I could tell it was really bothering her, feeling like she should be at home, so…

Liam: Well, she got her wish.

Hope: [Chuckles] Yeah.

Liam: Hell, so did I. This day just got a thousand times better.

Hope: I know, I know. I probably should have called first, but…I don’t know. Surprises are just so much more fun.

Liam: No, yeah, no. It’s all good. In fact, I have a surprise for you, too.

Hope: You do?

Liam: Yeah. Do– do you hear that sound?

Hope: No. What sound?

Liam: Exactly. We have no children till after dinner.

Liam: Huh? Right? So I’m thinking that– a little sexy time. A little, uh… little romantic reunion might be in order.

Hope: Huh. Even though i didn’t really leave town?

Liam: Don’t need to leave town to have a reunion. We can reunite all night long.

Hope: Oh. Well then.

Sheila: Look, I know that this comes as a bit of a shock, but I can ex–

Steffy: The woman who tried to kill my mom is in my house holding our son.

Sheila: And that’s all I was doing. I was just holding my grandson, loving him the way any grandmother would. Please, don’t be angry at finn for giving me that moment.

Jack: If you’re gonna be angry with anyone, be angry at me. I’m the one who talked finn into it.

Steffy: Why would you do that? Why would you do that? You know how dangerous she is. You kept her secret from him because you were trying to protect your son. My son deserves protection too.

Jack: Exactly what finn and i are trying to do. She just wants to hold hayes this one time, then she’ll leave. She’ll be gone from your lives forever. I wanted finn to let her in so that you would never have to deal with her again.

Steffy: You are so naive, both of you are!

Finn: Look, she promised that she would–

Steffy: Promise? Promises don’t mean a damn thing to her! You can’t believe anything she says.

Sheila: No, but I meant it, steffy. I did. Jack came to see me and he demanded that I leave town and I said that I would, that I would leave all of you alone… but I did want something in return. I wanted to meet my grandson.

Steffy: You were just gonna see him and leave? And be gone forever? You weren’t gonna do that. That’s bull. You have some messed up plan to infiltrate our lives.

Sheila: Now, do I want to– do I want to know my son, my grandson? Of course. But there’s no plan. I’m just hoping that maybe one day–

Steffy: Do you see what she’s doing right now? Do you see what she’s doing? She’s lying to you. She’s manipulating you. And you’re blatantly falling for it. You are! You snuck her in here while I was gone.

Finn: It wasn’t like that.

Steffy: Yeah.

Jack: Don’t blame finn. It was all me. He didn’t want to let her in. He respects your wishes, steffy. He knows she’S… some kind of a threat.

Steffy: No, he doesn’T. Otherwise she wouldn’t be here. Wow, the extreme lack of judgment on both of you, it’s just–it’s wild.

Jack: Maybe we were manipulated, I don’t know, but it was worth taking a chance. I want her gone from all of our lives. This seemed like the way to do it. I understand that you’re not happy, and you don’t understand all this, but I was looking out for your family and mine. I want to be rid of her for once and for all.

Sheila: And you’re gonna be. I meant it when I said that. It was just one last time. I wanted to see finn, and I wanted to hold my grandson. And then I’ll be gone. You know, there’s gotta be something in you that understands this, steffy. You’re a mom. I, uh… I wonder if you can even imagine having a child and then walking away from him forever? Giving up my son was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. And yet, here I stand with everyone asking me to do it again. All I wanted to do was to see finn… and to hold his son in my arms. Was there anything really wrong with that? I think you know that there wasn’T. So please, steffy… mother to mother… you have to know how much I needed this. Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Liam: I’m ready when you are. Oh. Oh.

[Chuckles]

Hope: A reaction like that, I should leave–almost leave– town more often.

Liam: Yuh–uh-huh. Oh, my god, look at you.

Steffy: “Mother to mother.” How could you say that to me after what you did to mine?

Sheila: I–I realize that you hate me. I, uh… I never should’ve come to your wedding. I shouldn’t have come to the reception. I didn’t mean to cause any kind of a–an uprising. I didn’t mean to cause any trouble.

Steffy: How could you even say that with a straight face? That’s all you do is cause trouble. You thrive on it.

Sheila: Oh, I–I don’T. I don’t want to cause problems for the two of you. I really don’T. That’s why I–I was leaving. You were never gonna see me again. Unless perhaps maybe one day you’ll find it in your heart to forgive me.

Steffy: No, not a chance. No.

Sheila: Oh, for… for finn? For hayes?

Steffy: No. No, no, no. It would be a great gift for them, steffy.

Steffy: Not for hayes. You are never gonna see hayes again. You’re never gonna hold him. Never. If either one of you think I’m freaking out right now, it’s because this woman shot my grandmother and left her to die.

Sheila: You were too young to even understand.

Steffy: Understand that you kidnapped a child? I could’ve walked in here and both of you could’ve been dead, hayes gone. Like, you don’t even know–

Sheila: I’d never hurt my son.

Steffy: …Crazy things she’s done to my family, and I walk in here–I walk in here, and this woman, who’s committed many crimes, is holding our son. That is unforgivable.

Sheila: Look, I don’t want to make you more upset than you already are. Clearly you have such a–a– a narrow perspective of why I did the things that I had to do.

Steffy: [Scoffs]

Sheila: And clearly you worshipped your grandmother. You’re her namesake. But stephanie was not kind to me.

Steffy: Oh, don’t, don’T…

Sheila: No, she wasn’T.

Steffy: Do not do that. Do not try to turn this around. See, this is what she does. She manipulates you. She’s manipulating you right now. Don’t you see it? I see it in your eyes, your face. You’re just evil. And I hope none of that sickness is in my son.

Sheila: Sickness?

Steffy: I’m gonna protect my son from you, sheila.

Sheila: I told you, you don’t need to protect anyone. I’ll stay away.

Steffy: You’d better or I’m calling the police, and you’re going to jail. We’re getting a restraining order, and you’re never gonna see finn, hayes, or me, the entire forrester family. Never again.

Hope: Well, that was all the confirmation I needed.

Liam: [Stammers] What confirmation?

Hope: That I made the right decision getting off that plane.

Liam: Oh. Yes. Well, I’m always very supportive& of any decision you make that leads to… to what just happened here.

[Laughs]

Hope: So you said the kids aren’t going to be dropped off?

Liam: Kids? We have kids?! What? W–

Hope: [Laughs] I mean, don’t get me wrong, I am excited to surprise them, but I also am really enjoying this time alone with my husband in his arms.

Liam: Oh, yes, yes, yes… don’t you love it when a day takes a whole new direction you weren’t even expecting?

Hope: Hmm. I do.

Liam: I do, too. Thanks for being my unexpected.

Sheila: That’s a bit harsh, don’t you think? Wanting me behind bars if I ever want to reach out to my son?

Steffy: [Scoffs] He’s jack and li’s son, not yours. I know you think you hit the jackpot here. Somehow you weaseled your way back into the family you’ve been obsessing over for years. You don’t care about finn. You don’t care about getting to know him. Otherwise you would’ve reached out to him long before we got married. God, this motivation of yours couldn’t be more obvious. Hello!

Sheila: My motivation was love.

Steffy: Love? If you truly loved him, truly, then you would stay away. If you care about finn, prove it… by never contacting him again.

Sheila: You haven’t been listening, steffy. This is what I’ve been trying to tell you all along.

Steffy: He shouldn’t be subjected to you or your depravity. He is a good, honest man. He has never let me down. Well, until now. This is my home. This is my family. Not yours. You need to leave, now. And I need you to leave, too. No, I can’t even deal with you. I can’t believe you encouraged this. You let this woman into my home. You’ve got some nerve coming in here. Finn and jack may have fallen for it, but I won’t, because I know who you are, what you’re capable of. You’re a monster. You have no feelings.

Sheila: I have feelings.

Steffy: Homicidal ones don’t count, now get out. Go. I said you leave!

Finn: Steffy.

Steffy: Get out of here! And don’t you dare try to take anyone I love away from me.

Jack: Let’s go.

Steffy: Get out!

Finn: I’m sorry.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

We have to talk a little bit.

chase: I really am grateful for having you in my life. Willow: Me, too.

How many people

can say

they loved

as deeply as we have?

Not many.

[ Knock on door ] Finn: Hey, coming in. You’re walking. Look, ma, no hands. Chase, that’s incredible. Thanks. Just one question. Why didn’t you tell me? I didn’t know you were working from home today. Yeah, yeah, that’s the, uh, luxury of being your own boss. That is a perk. Where’s wiley? At the pool with the nanny. It’s a perfect day for it. Yeah, yeah, it is. And, um… I missed you last night. I missed you, too. Michael, I hope you understand. That after returning chase’s wedding ring, you needed a minute? Of course. Of course I understand. I did need a minute. But what I really need… is you. Well, you got me. For as long as you want me. That could be a long time. Well, I’m counting on it. Oh, you are getting heavy. Gonna have to lay off the formula.

[ Chuckles ] No, I’m just kidding. You get as big and as strong as you can, baby girl. You show the world what you got. But first, it is nap time. Now, where’s your favorite binky? Oh, no, don’t tell me we lost it. Carly: Okay, great. Thank you. There she is — just the person I was looking for. I have been up since dawn batting around ideas for your wedding. Oh, yeah? Yep. I even came up with some for jason. How do you feel about motorcycle ice sculptures? Hey. Hey. Is everything okay? Yes. No. Um, do you have a second to talk? Sure. If you don’t, it’s no big deal. No, I’m fine. I’m good. Okay. What’s going on? I had dinner with my mom and my dad last night. I’m sure my mom told you. Yes. Yeah, she mentioned it. How’d it go? It was terrible. Hello, schatz. Hi, mom. What has you so enthralled? I don’t know if “enthralled” is the right word. More like resigned. They set a date. Phyllis, I to– I had it covered. I was going stir crazy at the house, all those well-meaning neighbors stopping by, and the clinic insisted I take a week off. Can you believe that? Don’t they know that work is the best thing for me now? Your neighbors, coworkers — they care about you. They’re trying to help you, like I am. You want to help me? You know I do. Then tell nina how much she means to you. Trust me, mike. She can be taken away tomorrow, and all you’d be left with is regret. Nina, thanks for letting me crash at your place last night. As if I had a choice. You threatened my nephew. I would never hurt james. No, you would just take him away from his mother. Like louise was taken from me? An eye for an eye, nina, as they say. Or in this case, a child for a child.

[ Deep inhale ]

Claritin-D. Get more airflow. I didn’t tell anyone about my progress. Not even willow? Especially not willow. Especially — because you want to surprise her. That was the idea. But then… I found something out and decided to keep it from her on purpose. Hey, slow down. What’s happening right now? Michael and willow are together. Together, together? Michael, your best friend, and willow, your wife? Not anymore. Willow wants an annulment. Since when? Since she’s in love with him. Michael: So how’d it go? With chase? Yeah. Unless you don’t know, you know, you don’t want to talk about it. No, no, it’s — it’s fine. Once we were alone and faced that it was time to put an end to all the lies, all the pretending… I don’t know. The — the anger and resentment kind of washed away. I mean, the pain was still there, obviously, and the sadness over what was lost. But chase and I went back to how we started — two people who only want the best for each other. That sounds like chase. Doesn’t it? Do you, uh, think there’s a way forward and we can all be friends again? I think so. Not now, while everything is still so fresh, but… hopefully, one day. I hope so, too. God, it feels strange, doesn’t it? Not having to hide anymore. We can just…be us, michael and willow. Or, uh, willow and michael. You know, ladies first. If you insist. Are we interrupting?

[ Clears throat ] Remember, we said “understated”? Remember when I said, “wedding of the century”? No melting motorcycles, maxie. Okay, my ice sculptures don’t melt, but whatever. Thank you. What about the color palette? Alright. What are you thinking? Well, I was thinking yellow, but not sunflower yellow. More like a soft butter yellow with accents of cream, and we can pick it up in the bouquets and boutonnieres. Oh, you know how much jason loves a boutonniere.

[ Laughs ] Too bad! Thank you so much for doing this. Really. Uh, I appreciate it. Really? Because I kind of got the feeling you two were humoring me. No, not at all. I mean, for some reason, this has been…hard. I mean, not marrying jason. That’s the easy part, but… it just feels really weird, and I don’t know why. I do. It was just so awkward. They were fighting in this weird, passive-aggressive way that I have never seen before. I mean, I know that they had that huge custody battle when I was a toddler. Yeah, but you don’t — you don’t have any memory of that. Oh, zero. All I’ve ever known is the poster couple for divorced parents. I mean, even during the times where my dad was furious at sonny, and I mean steam-coming- out-of-his-ears furious, my mom and dad always still shared a mutual respect for one another. I take it last night wasn’t like that. Uh, they literally couldn’t hide their resentment.

[ Sighs ] And, uh, the only reason I can think of… is because my mom’s marrying you. I’m so sorry, britta. Why? Because you got your heart broken. My heart is still intact, mother. And not by a man you can easily write off. I can tell that you had real feelings for jason, and now you’ve lost him. And that hurts. And I want to help you somehow. Yes, I’m hurt and angry and doing stupid things like making speeches about toothbrush heads that I won’t bother you with the details of. But do I wish that none of it happened?

[ Chuckles ] It stinks that it didn’t last… but that doesn’t make what jason and I had any… less meaningful. Sonny: Morning. Hi. Peter. This is phyllis caulfield. You’re the author. Peter sinclair. Pleasure to meet you. Same here. I’m so sorry to hear about your husband. Nina told me all about him last night. You were with, uh, nina last night? Oh — yeah, I slept at her place. I have the room, right? So I figured the least I could do is offer up my couch. Yes, I’m very fortunate that I ran into someone not only that I know, but that I’m simpatico with. Simpatico? Peter and nina have both lost children. Yes, and I’m sure I speak for nina when I say neither of us wants to experience anything like that… ever again.

I feel like an idiot. Why? I just had — I had no idea. I mean, I was so… focused on other things. Like saving your little brother’s life? Mm-hmm, amongst other things. You know, willow — she just seemed so loving and supportive. She still is both those things. She’s just not

in love with me anymore. Why didn’t she just tell you? When would’ve been a good time? When I collapsed and was on the brink of death? When I could barely walk and then couldn’t walk? I mean, it was just one thing after another. Okay, okay. What’s michael’s excuse, huh? That’s a pretty crappy thing to do to a buddy. Yeah. And I was pissed off, believe me. But once I thought about it, I mean, michael and willow were married, finn. They’re co-parents to wiley, something I put in motion, by the way. And they fell in love. They wanted to tell me, but there wasn’t really a good time for it. I mean, the timing was downright awful, actually, not because of michael and willow, but… because of peter. I just — I wish it was some trashy affair, you know? Willow lying, running around behind my back, but… it wasn’t like that. And that’s the part that hurts the most. Oh, I can take bailey to the nursery, if you guys want some privacy. Oh, please, bailey better get used to the drama if she’s gonna be in this family. Boy, that’s true. So how’s chase? Hurt. Sad. We both are, but we actually ended up in — well, “good” is the wrong word, but a better place. How very chase of him. Listen, brook lynn, I know you and chase are close, and I just want to say for the record that this was a colossal mess. And it was all my fault. Hey, this isn’t even close to being all your fault. No, I should have told chase the truth a lot sooner than I did. And I hate that I didn’t have the courage to. Michael and I were just having a conversation about this. Oh, don’t worry. No, uh, details were exchanged. Look, sometimes in life, you’re faced with a crazy situation, and no matter what your intentions are, you are forced to live with it. Look, willow, should you have told chase the truth? Yeah, maybe, but when? When he was dying? When he thought he was never gonna walk again? Look, you messed up, but it’s clear that it was out of care and — and kindness, not selfishness. That is very generous. And this is chase we’re talking about. I mean, he — he will find the grace to see it for what it is. Maybe not today, but he will. I’m hopeful for that, too. If we could all be so lucky. What do you mean? No, just, um, chase could have been more volatile, you know? Someone you’re scared how they’re gonna react if you cross them. Oh, you mean like every single member of our family? Yeah, that’s exactly who I was thinking about. It’s one thing to know you’re getting married, to be happy about it, even. And I am. It’s a complete other thing to contemplate spending the rest of your life with someone you didn’t think you’d spend the rest of your life with. You’re right. You’re right. I mean, I need to change my perspective. You know, this is an adjustment, but I’m still marrying jason, still gonna be wonderful, and the wedding will reflect that. It just needs to be significant. But understated. Yes, and that’s where you come in. Okay, well, have you thought about your vows? Do you want to go traditional or do you want to write them yourself? You want me to write jason’s?

[ Chuckles ] Well, why don’t we stick with traditional? I mean, if I have to stand up there and tell the world what jason means to me, we will be there all afternoon.

[ Chuckles ] Okay, traditional it is. This is gonna be a wedding to remember. I have no doubt about that. Typical, right? I finally find the perfect guy, and [Sighs] It turns out he’s bonded for life to someone else. Someone woefully inferior. Maybe. Definitely. Well, carly is a lucky woman.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you for your support. It really means a lot. But while I am pissed off and hurt and… all of the other things, I’m not sorry, mom. And — and that — that feels really good. Because when my other relationships ended, I was left with this feeling of regret, of second-guessing what I did, wishing I’d been different, better. But not this one. And that is something to celebrate. If you say so. I say so.

[ Chuckles ] Come on, lift your glass! There you go. Cheers. I just don’t understand why he has a problem with it. I mean, yes, you are in the business, but you’re a good person. And he knows that, so I don’t understand why he’s acting this way. I mean, unless he’s just flat-out jealous and still in love with my mom and can’t admit it. Okay, just listen for a second. No, just let me get this out, please. Okay. I love my dad with all my heart, but he is just wrong about this. I am so happy that you are marrying my mom. I don’t think that there’s one person on this earth that’s better for her or better to her. And I didn’t always understand that. I mean, at first, I was too young, then you were gone all those years. But when you came back and I saw how happy you made my mom and how she just trusts you and how that makes up for everything else… I don’t know. I just feel so bad that for the first time that I’ve witnessed anyway, my dad’s being a total jerk. I’m so sorry for your loss. I wish I didn’t know that pain, but I do. You’ve lost a child, as well. My daughter. We’ll always wish we could turn back the clock, don’t we? But unfortunately, we can’T. Yes, but how fortunate that we can take solace in other people who understand our pain. How long you staying, peter? Well, that depends. Uh, thanks to nina and her hospitality, I was only gonna be passing through, but now I think I’ll stick around a little while. In fact, we’ve been discussing a project of mutual interest. Oh, yeah? What kind of project?

Willow wouldn’t have an affair. She’s not a cheater. Yeah, I wouldn’t peg her as one, either. So if she’s with michael… that means she loves him. And having been loved by willow before… I know how lucky that makes him. And I can’t even say he’s undeserving. Michael — he’s — he’s a good guy. I know he didn’t set out to hurt me, it just… it happened that way. Wow. You are being way more forgiving about this than I think I could ever be. What choice do I have? Be angry as all hell. I was angry. But now, I’m just… I’m sad. I’m sad for what was. You know, what willow and I had… it’s gone. And I miss it.

[ Sighs ] But in the end, all I want is for willow to be happy. And she is. Okay. You know, you said something about… putting this in motion. When sasha and I lied. So if you could go back and do things different… would you? Speaking of family, can we just discuss for a second how you gave austin the keys to the kingdom? What was I supposed to do, brook lynn? Uh, destroy the evidence, shred it, don’t give it to — basically, anything other than what you did. You do realize there’s another copy of that memo out there, right? And doing something shady will only come back to bite us. You gave austin a leg to stand on, michael. You’re right, I did, and that’s not good. But it also doesn’t prove his case. Really? Yes. All it proves is that grandfather had a conversation with his lawyer. It doesn’t say anything about a will being drafted. It doesn’t say anything about him signing anything. People have wills drawn up all the time with no signature. It means nothing. And you really think the judge will rule in that direction? I don’t know. But I think it’s best to remain transparent. It makes damage control that much easier, and look, I-I know that you care so much about this because you want your father to be the head of elq. And I get that. That’s why when you did all that stuff with bailey and the shares, I stepped aside, and I think it worked. I think that we can retain control of elq. What if we don’t? Look, would that really be the worst thing? I’m sorry, I just — I can’t tell if you’re joking or not. Brook lynn, I hate to admit it, but valentin is a good ceo. He is. Look, we’re all making money. Elq is in the black. And whether or not you like it, I mean, valentin is part of this family now because of bailey, so if austin gets those stocks and he votes valentin in, would it really be the end of the world? Certainly not worth the backlash of doing something unethical. And I get you don’t see things this way because of your father. Michael, you are giving me way too much credit.

[ Gasps ] Maxie! Hi, liesl, britt. When did you get back? Uh, yesterday, and I’ve been nonstop busy ever since. Was your time in texas healing? I’m never gonna fully heal until louise is home and peter is behind bars, but, yes, being with family helped. So did seeing nina. You saw nina? Yeah, I stopped in nixon falls. I was hoping to spend some more time with her, but she convinced me to come home. Well, welcome back. Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] So what’s got you so busy?

Deception stuff? Yeah, that, and I’m up to my eyeballs planning jason and carly’s wedding.

Wie bitte? It sounded like you said “jason and carly’s wedding.” Because I did. Have you lost your mind? Your dad loves you, and he’s concerned about you. And I’m not gonna lie, he has every reason to be because the life your mother and I lead is — it’s not a normal life. Oh, that’s one way to put it. So jax is allowed to have a problem with that. But with that being said… I think marrying your mom is the right thing. And nothing your dad does is gonna change my mind or your mom’S. Oh, god, no. I mean, not that my mom has any doubts, but even if she did, the fact that my dad is acting this way would only make her more determined.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. Now, that sounds like carly. I guess mike doesn’t know the unwritten rule between author and editor. We never kiss and tell. And we don’t keep secrets. Is that so? Yeah.

[ Door opens ] Phyllis, I just wanted to offer my condolences and check in to see how you’re doing. Oh, that’s very kind of you, ralph. You remember mike and nina, right? Hard to forget. This is nina’s friend, peter sinclair. I know you.

If I had to do it all over again, the selfish part of me would say yeah. Because I love willow, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. But the way it turned out… the most important thing happened. Michael and willow got wiley.

[ Sighs ] You made quite a sacrifice. I don’t know about that. Nelle was a horrible person. That custody suit could’ve went a lot of different ways, not a lot of them good. And in the end, I guess I would… do it all over again. Proud of you. You’re a good man. Nah, please. You’re crummy at accepting compliments, but you’re a good man. Yeah, I hear that runs in the family.

[ Chuckles ] So what now?

[ Sighs ] Now I get on with the rest of my life. I’m on the mend. I’m feeling stronger every day. That much is clear. I want to get back to work, back to being a detective… brother…. favorite uncle. Violet’s only uncle. Semantics. You know what? That gives me a great idea. You’re assuming I only want to protect my father, and yeah, of course I do. But I also don’t like austin. Period. Like, zip, zilch, like, at all. How about you tell us how you really feel about him? He just, like, shows up in town, like he’s this nice guy who — who’s helping maxie, and then boom. “Just kidding. I’m actually jimmy lee holt’s son, and — and I want all of your money.” Brook lynn, he doesn’t want all of our money. Oh, yeah. I’m sorry. He just wants his fair share. Great-grandfather exiled jimmy lee holt for good reason, michael, and I haven’t seen austin do one good thing that entitles him to be a part of this family. We’d all be better off if we just sent him packing. Can you help me out here? Actually, I’M… with brook lynn on this one. Is there a problem? Yeah.No. There is a big problem. Do you not know jason broke my britta’s heart, treated her like something he scraped off the bottom of his shoe? Mother, did we not just have the conversation that we had? It’s principal, britta. My love and devotion to you as my daughter is one thing. My disdain for that schwein and his hussy is something else. Whoa. Yeah, a little extra, right? You should not be doing favors for those despicable people. Okay, first of all, um, I am sorry about you and jason. Don’t be. But I think in their own way, he and carly actually love each other. Please. If she truly loved him, she’d realize he’s better off with britta and let him go. But no, carly wants what she wants. Who cares about the rest of the world? Do you know who else that sounds like? Who? Us. I’m gonna take off in a minute, but I just want to say this before I go — okay, what’s going on between your mom, your dad, and me, that’s between the three of us, okay? You taking it on yourself, you carrying that weight, that’s probably one thing that we can all agree that we do not want. I know. It’s just hard to separate. I know it is, and I get it. Just be aware, okay? The best thing you can do is just be here for us, love us like you do, support us, and we’re gonna do the exact same thing for you all in our own ways. Very different ways. Yeah. You’re going to college. I can’t — I-I can’t even believe it, you know? But you need to live your life. You need to take advantage of this opportunity. I know. And I’m — I’m so excited. “But”? But it’s just kind of weird because this is kind of the first thing I’m ever gonna do that mom can’t give me advice on. I mean, you know, she never went to college, so she’s imagining what she thinks it’ll be like instead of having gone through it herself. I don’t know. I just — I guess I never realized how much I rely on her experience. I get it. And you’re right. Your mom’s never been to college. But I can tell you what, she has stepped out into a new, overwhelming world and made a place for herself in it. So she might not be able to inform you or talk about, you know, a college experience, but I can tell you this. She has faced a lot of challenges. And she knows how to overcome them, and she’s behind you 100%. So am I. Well, I’ve said it before, but it can’t hurt to say it again. I’m really happy that you guys are getting married. Yeah, me, too. Mm. I don’t believe we’ve had the pleasure. Oh, peter’s new to town. But he’s just passing through. Always on the run, aren’t you, peter? You trying to get rid of me already? Well, I just know how much you’re wanted back at home. Ralph: And home is…? We knew each other in port charles. Uh, port charles, manhattan, los angeles, chicago — we’ve known each other in so many places, haven’t we, nina? Um, well, thanks for stopping by, but I know how busy you are. Get out of here.

[ Chuckles ] I’m just a phone call away. I’ll remember that. Isn’t it nice knowing how many people care about you? Mm, nice and exhausting. Could you take me home, if it’s not too much trouble? Absolutely. You’ll be here when I get back? Yeah, I’m not gonna move a muscle. I will be here. Alright. Uh, phyllis, you get some rest, okay? Mm, I’ll try. So nice meeting you. You, too, peter. You just made a fatal mistake.

A camping trip? Camping. Fishing, s’mores, hikes to the waterfall, all that stuff. Not sure I’m hike-ready yet. Alright, so you sit that one out, alright? Look, it’s gonna be beautiful. I mean, who’s gonna help me set up the tent? You said elizabeth and her boys are going. Come on. Look, you’ve been working your tail off to get back into shape. What did you do that for, right? So you can show off your abs at the metro court pool? It’s been done already. Look, get off your butt, you come spend some time with your family. I’ll think about it. How’s that? I’ll take it. You’re thinking about things from a business perspective, and that’s great. But in the time we’ve been together, I’ve come to know your family, michael, to love them, to think of them as my own, and I, too, get major sketch vibes from austin. See? I just don’t know if he has the family’s best interests in mind. So I get why you did what you did. I’m not even saying you’re wrong, but I agree with you. I just — I really love you two as a couple. Oh, my god.

[ Chuckles ] No, really, you are just such a good addition to the family. And that is not to say that I don’t have huge respect for you as a businessman, because I do. No, no, no, no, no, no backpedaling. You are with me on this one. Hey. Oh, jason, perfect timing. I’m being ganged up on over here. You know what? On that note, it is definitely, uh, nap time. We’re going to go find yuri. Good to see you. See you later.

[ Sighs ] Okay, um, well, jason, I texted you to come over here for a couple of reasons. A, I want to give you the heads up about our new family member. His name is austin. Yeah, yeah. Monica filled me in. Oh, okay. Good. The other thing is, uh… willow and i are together again. I ended my marriage with chase. That’s great. I’m happy — I’m happy for you guys. Thanks. You know, actually, I was, uh, glad when I got your text. And why is that? There’s something I need to ask you. Hi, mom.

[ Sighs ] Josslyn… I’ve been thinking about you all day. Have you? Yes, I feel terrible about what hapned last night. It’s okay. It’s not. It’s not okay. Things got tense with me and your dad, and, I mean, last night was supposed to be about you. It was supposed to be a celebration, and I feel terrible. I just don’t want the disagreement I had with your dad to affect your relationship with him. I don’t want it to affect you at all. Mom — I just want you to let us handle our issue, and you just be the amazing college kid that you are. Mom! What? I already talked to jason. I’m good. You already talked to jason? Yeah, well, it’s just another great thing about you marrying him. For somebody who doesn’t speak a whole lot, he gives really good advice. He does. Not one of us can talk when it comes to being selfish. We have all had our moments. Preach. Hmm. Maxie, if you could do something for me? Anything. Make the wedding beautiful.

[ Chuckles ] I’m on it. I had never planned on having a happily ever after. I think it would be great if jason got one. That much generosity, I can barely handle. One ounce more, and your spine will have turned to pudding. Fine. The wedding can be “nice,” but maybe the band forgets an instrument or there’s a hair in someone’s soup. Mother! Not enough to ruin the day, just a minor hiccup. I’ll see what I can do.

[ Laughs ]

[ Chuckles ] You’re lucky that police officer didn’t realize who I was, despite all those clues you kept feeding him. Who knows? Maybe he filed all those clues away and is checking up on peter sinclair as we speak. Well, let’s hope not, for your sake. One siren in this direction… do not threaten my nephew again. Let’s bring it a little closer to home, then, shall we, nina? You built a nice, little, cozy family for yourself here in nixon falls. It would be such a shame if something were to happen to the widow caulfield, wouldn’t it? Or better yet, your precious mike, god forbid. Oh, you’re bluffing. Maybe. But do you really want to risk it?

[ Door opens ]

what you decide. I will. Finn, thanks. You’re gonna be okay. Yeah. Now get back to work. Well, uh, your mom and I set a date. Oh, yeah, she told me. Congratulations. Yeah. When’s the big day? September 17th. I-I was hoping… uh, that you would be my best man. I can’t think of anyone I’d rather have by my side.

[ Chuckles ] You didn’t even have to ask, but since you did, I mean, yeah, of course. I’d be honored. I told jason, but now I’m telling you. I love dad. Of course you do. But no matter his feelings on the subject, I’m thrilled that you and jason are getting married, and I need you to know that. I do. That’s a perfect segue to our next topic of discussion. Which is…? Dress shopping.

[ Gasps ] Yay! For you? And you. My maid of honor needs to make a statement. Heck, yeah. Is that a yes? No, because it was never a question. Of course I’ll be your maid of honor. I can’t wait. Aww, yay! Oh, I love you so much. I love you, too. Everything okay? Yes, of course. I was just pitching an idea to nina — a true-crime story about a woman from a small town not unlike nixon falls, actually. And she has to do everything in her power to save the people that she loves. So what do you think? You interested? I’ll consider it. Fair enough. I’m gonna go take a walk, soak up the atmosphere. Might come in handy if you give me the green light. I’ll come with you. That’s not necessary. Well, I insist. After all, I used to be a stranger here myself.

[ Chuckles ] Very well. Thank you for buying, mother. Oh, I’m paying? Well, considering the day I’ve had, I-I think it’s appropriate. I see. Now she’s all torn up. You don’t have time for a drink, do you? Oh, I wish, but I can catch you up on everything in the elevator. Sounds good. It was great to see you, liesl. You, too, maxie. Give james a kiss from his oma. I will. Bye, mom. Bye.

[ Cellphone rings ] Ah. Nina. Aunt liesl. Maxie was just talking about you. Listen, I don’t have much time. Are you alone right now? What’s wrong? Well, aunt liesl, I have a problem that I think you are perfectly qualified to solve, but if you can’t for any reason… I’ll do it myself. You and nina aren’t just business associates, am I right? I’d like to also think of us as friends. Hmm. Why do i get the feeling… she doesn’t like you?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Mariah: Please, you can’t do this to us. You have to help us. Alright? You — you’ve taken care of us, you’ve given us food and prenatal vitamins and protein bars. The contractions aren’t stopping, so, please, for the love of god, save this baby. Please.

Victor: I assure you that my security will get to the bottom of this. We are working with the police department.

Abby: Thank you, dad. I appreciate everything that you’re doing.

Victor: [ Sighs ]

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Victor: What is it?

Abby: Just I’m a little shaken up. Devon had some thoughts — well, suspicions, really — and, well, at first, my instinct was that there’s no way that that was possible, but now…I don’t know what to believe.

Denise: I’m sorry, devon. I wasn’t able to uncover anything new about mariah copeland’s disappearance.

Devon: Abby’s ex-husband saw an old man who was stocking up on mariah’s favorite prenatal protein bars.

Denise: Okay. Not much there.

Devon: Yeah.

Denise: Did you get a description of the guy?

Devon: Just average height, gray hair, and his shopping list was written on the same kind of paper as mariah’s notepad — has storks on it.

Denise: Hmm. I could follow up on it, but I’m sensing some skepticism on your part.

Devon: This information may lead to something. I just don’t think it’s gonna be to some random old man.

Denise: What are you thinking?

Devon: I’m more concerned about abby’s ex.

Kevin: There’s stitch right there. He’s about to enter the store.

Rey: Alright, do we see the older man he told us about?

Kevin: No, there’s another customer, but she is not who we’re looking for.

Rey: Can we see from any other angles?

Kevin: Uh, let me mark the timecode and see what else is available.

Rey: Let’s see if we can find someone purchasing a bunch of those protein bars.

Kevin: Yeah. No, there’s no one else in the store. It’s stitch, there’s a lady at the frozen foods, and the cashier, but that’s it.

Rey: Well, maybe our guy hasn’t entered yet.

Kevin: Uh…let me pull up and see if there’s a camera at the entrance and maybe just hasn’t come in yet.

Rey: What the hell, kevin? What happened to the footage?

Kevin: I don’t know. It disappeared.

Sharon: Being in mariah’s room and being there with all her things, it was a little overwhelming.

Tessa: I’m a little overwhelmed, too. But you’re a really positive person, sharon.

Sharon: I’m trying — I’m trying to be optimistic. Praying that rey will find mariah and bring her home. It’s just — it’s not easy.

Tessa: Just need to keep trying and send positive energy her way. My disposition’s a little darker than yours, so I have to send out twice as much positive energy to compensate.

Sharon: Yeah, is that right? Is that how that works? You figured it out?

Tessa: Yeah, yeah, yeah, i did. And we just need to visualize her coming back to us healthy, safe, and strong. And we need to take it seriously because mariah has to get through this.

Mariah: [ Gasps ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Exhales sharply ] The contractions are getting stronger. We need help, please. Please hurry. Ohh, ohh. Okay. Okay. Birthing class did not cover this scenario.

[ Groaning ] Abducted, alone, god knows where. About to give birth with no doctor, no medical care.

[ Groaning ] Okay, okay. I hear you. I hear you, little man. Mm. You want out. I got it. But just, please, just relax, okay? Good. Good job.

[ Groaning ]

[ Grunting ] Ahh.

[Girl in bathroom stall] Ugh

Tessa: I was alone in the house, just talking to mariah. I was just telling her how much I missed her and that I was gonna do anything to find her. It’s like we were communicating, and she was telling me that she was scared and that she missed me. I felt her presence because she needed spiritual back-up. I don’t have money, like devon, to hire investigators or the power of two prominent families like abby, so I feel like I’m just sitting on the sidelines. All I can do is use my love to send mariah strength and comfort. To let her know that we care about her and we’re doing anything we can to bring her home.

Sharon: It can’t hurt.

Tessa: You love her, so you can do it, too.

Sharon: How?

Tessa: I think we should remember important moments with mariah, special times, to let her know and reassure her that we love her and that we miss her.

Sharon: Well, I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I have as much faith in this psychic connection as you do, but I want to try.

Tessa: You can do it, too. You just have to — I don’t know — concentrate on a memory.

Sharon: Um, when I first found out that mariah was my daughter, she barely wanted anything to do with me at first. We grew closer over time, but there was always this awkwardness and uncertainty in our relationship. Until this one christmas… she, uh — she was obsessing over what gift to give me, and in the end, she gave me the perfect gift. She started calling me mom.

Tessa: I remember her telling me that story.

Sharon: What special moments with mariah are you thinking about?

Tessa: [ Chuckles ] You know, I — I keep coming back to when things were really bad between us. And [Laughs] She just showed up to my concert and gave an extremely public apology.

Sharon: I saw the video.

Tessa: Yeah, and the rest of the world.

[ Laughs ] It took guts for mariah to bare her soul like that. And it’s those same guts that are gonna bring her home to us again.

Sharon: She’s always been a fighter.

Tessa: She never gave up on me, even when I pushed her away. She believed in the power of our love. Now I’m returning the favor.

Sharon: I wish I had shared more special moments with mariah, but unfortunately, um, we missed out on a lot of each other’s lives before we were reunited. And finding her, having her in my life after all those years was such a great gift. You know, I had to really try to convince mariah that she was loved. It took a lot before she believed it.

Tessa: Well, she knows that you love her now.

Sharon: I hope so. I hope so. I hope she can feel it right now.

Rey: So the footage cut out before our suspect might have walked through the door.

Kevin: It looks that way. But the app didn’t crash and the camera is on, but the footage is gone. But look, look at the timecode. There’s a gap between where we left off and where we are. It’s a minute and 37 seconds.

Rey: Was it a glitch, a problem with the camera?

Kevin: I can’t tell you, but maybe our old man entered during the gap.

Rey: Well, is it possible someone altered the video in case they were trying to hide something?

Kevin: Uh…I would have to do a deeper analysis using equipment at the station, but let’s — let’s — let’s look at what we have in front of us, okay? There’s stitch. And there he is — that’s the guy he described.

Rey: His description was vague, but that is an older man. Can we get a better look at him?

Kevin: Uh…I can try. This footage is not great. The angle is weird.

Rey: Can you get a look at what he’s buying?

Kevin: His cart is empty. But wait, look at stitch.

Rey: He’s at the register checking out already.

Kevin: H– how could he have seen what the old man was buying?

Rey: He’s leaving. There’s no way he got a good look at the guy’s shopping list.

Kevin: And he’s gone. Okay, you know what? Maybe we can check the footage from a few days before and a few days after. Stitch could go to that store a lot. Maybe he just got his days mixed up.

Rey: Or maybe stitch made the whole thing up.

Victor: Devon thinks that stitch may have something to do with mariah’s disappearance.

Abby: Well, he thinks it could be possible. And honestly, I don’t know what to believe. Stitch has been so helpful. He’s been a shoulder for me to lean on. He’s really been a godsend. He’s a great listener.

Victor: This is all so strange, but…wow. I understand that he’s a comfort to you.

Abby: There have been a couple times when I thought maybe he was trying to rekindle what we once had. Maybe he was exaggerating the prospect of the chief of surgery job at the hospital as an excuse to move back here. I mean, separately, it doesn’t seem that out of the ordinary, but when you look at it as a whole, I mean, is devon right to be wary?

Victor: Wait a minute. I remember when stitch first came back into town. After a few greetings and all that, he said, um, something that puzzled me. He was very concerned about you being alone, with chance not being in town. And I remember I felt compelled to remind him that you are happily married.

Abby: You never told me that.

Victor: Well, I didn’t because I didn’t want to upset you.

Abby: I guess the timing of all of it is kind of weird. I mean, stitch came back to town again right before mariah went missing.

Victor: So what are you saying?

Abby: I used to be married to the man. I used to love him. But could it be true? Could stitch have something to do with mariah’s disappearance?

Devon: And so stitch just randomly shows back up in town out of nowhere and starts finding reasons to run into abby and spend time with her and casually bringing up romantic stories from their past.

Denise: Well, that’s all a little creepy — not a crime. But the thing you told me about the job at the hospital, now, that is a big red flag.

Devon: Yeah, I — I agree with you because he claims to be moving back here to take the position of chief of surgery, but he didn’t get that position. My cousin nate got the position.

Denise: So you don’t trust him.

Devon: I would like to, but there’s some things that aren’t adding up. And abby seems to trust him. She’s found a lot of comfort in having him around. She’s going through a stressful time, it’s understandable she wants to have somebody.

Denise: And there he is, a shoulder to cry on.

Devon: But like I said, i hope I’m wrong. I hope that stitch is just a supportive ex.

Denise: So let’s get some answers about this dr. Ben “stitch” rayburn. You know, one thing I’ve learned as a pi, never ignore gut feelings.

Abby: I hate even thinking about stitch this way.

Victor: So do I. God forbid, but listen, as a parent, you must consider all possibilities.

Abby: What, and be suspicious of everyone around me, even people close to me?

Victor: Sweetheart, you can’t pay attention to people’s feelings. You can’t worry about that, not when it comes to the security of your child.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

Victor: What do you know about what stitch was up to when he was away all these years?

Abby: Only what he’s told me. He was working as a doctor at a hospital in iowa city and max’s condition has deteriorated.

Victor: [ Exhales sharply ] I mean, what would be his motive? Why would he do something like this?

Abby: I don’t know. And honestly, it makes me feel better, because if I can’t think of a reason, then he’s less likely to be behind it, right?

Victor: Yeah.

Abby: I don’t know. I mean, I don’t think it’s about money. Unless max’s condition caused him to go into debt, but, no, there hasn’t been a ransom demand. And if he needed the money, he just could’ve — could’ve come to me, he could’ve asked me for it, and I would’ve given it to him, regardless of what max did to me.

Victor: If it’s not money, then what? Could it be revenge?

Abby: For what?

Victor: For leaving him.

Abby: No, no, I mean, I — i have spent so much time with him recently. I would’ve picked up on that.

Victor: How much time did you spend with him?

Abby: When you count all of the visits, I — a few hours. Oh, my god. If stitch is behind this, does that mean mariah was locked up all of that time? Was there someone there watching her, making sure that she and the baby had everything they need? Or was mariah just there, alone and terrified?

Mariah: Ohh. Okay. I got to talk to you now, alright? I didn’t think that any of this would happen. When this all started out, I was trying to help abby and chance. Then after I got pregnant, the morning sickness — oh, god.

[ Laughs ] I don’t know what it was, dude, about the smell of my shampoo or peaches. But you made my life miserable for a little while, you know that? And I was really worried that this was gonna be really difficult [Panting] Until you were born. And after I got trapped in here, I just… I started to see things completely differently.

[ Exhales shakily ] You kept me sane. Mm! And I really hope I did the same for you. So I want to let you know now — okay — that you are loved. Yeah. You are, so much. And I promise you, I don’t throw around that term lightly. Not like other people do. You don’t know this, but i didn’t grow up with a lot of love, so…I was pretty bad at it. And even now, there’s only a handful of people that I truly love in this world. You’re one of them, okay? And you’re gonna be fine. Gonna be fine. Because I protect the people i love with my life. Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection,

Kevin: Stitch is a stand-up guy. He’s a doctor, rey.

Rey: Sometimes doctors commit crimes.

Kevin: It doesn’t make any sense. If he is behind mariah’s disappearance, why would he suggest looking at evidence that could so easily be disproved? And why would he mess with the video? What would he gain from that?

Rey: He’s sending us on a wild goose chase, keeping us busy and distracted from what’s really going on, so let’s not waste time.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Kevin: Finally. The it team was able to get through the encryption on mariah’s phone. We have a location.

Rey: Oh, good.

Tessa: It’s a miracle that mariah and I are still together. We’ve both made so many mistakes.

Sharon: Well, that’s all in the past, and right now we’re focusing on the present. You are very much a part of mariah’s life, and I am so happy about that.

Tessa: I appreciate it. I know that I gave you a million reasons for you to want me to stay away from her. I’m still ashamed of some of the things that I did.

Sharon: You’ve grown past that. You’ve moved so far beyond it.

Tessa: Mariah deserves a lot of credit. She’s the one that helped me understand and accept my past.

Sharon: You two helped each other. You’ve evolved together.

Tessa: No, I think you’re right. Mariah’s taught me so much about love and trust and forgiveness. But I can tell you that whoever is holding her captive, whoever is scaring her, I will never forgive them. And I hope that they get what’s coming to them.

Victor: Hi, devon.

Devon: Mr. Newman, hi.

Victor: I understand you’re concerned about stitch’s behavior.

Abby: I had to tell my dad about your suspicions because i can’t stop thinking about them, and I can no longer the possibility that you might be right.

Devon: Well, I mean, listen, I hope that I’m wrong about stitch ’cause he’s always seemed like a decent guy to me and i know he’s been supportive of you. I don’t want to cause you any more stress.

Victor: We got to find the truth.

Devon: I completely agree. I just spoke to my private investigator, and she thinks that he should definitely be looked into. She’s, in fact, switching all of her focus onto him.

Abby: I wish that wasn’t necessary, but we have to do what’s best.

Victor: Sure. Without consideration of other people’s feelings, I think we should get to the bottom of it. Alright?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Okay. Let’s do this.

Mariah: [ Groaning ] Ahhh. Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. God. Okay. Okay. These are not braxton hicks contractions. Bowie, I really wish you’d take my advice and stay inside. But if you want out, I can’t blame you. Okay.

[ Breathing heavily ] Okay.

[ Whimpering ]

[ Breathing heavily ] If you want today to be your birthday, you’ve got it.

[ Breathing heavily ] So I need to prepare. But how? Before treating your chronic migraine,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Victor: I think we should confront stitch directly.

Abby: I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

Devon: I’m gonna have to agree with him. We need to get answers fast. And even if he doesn’t know anything, I’m sure he’s — he’ll understand why we had to consider him, ’cause we’re desperate right now.

Victor: If devon’s suspicions are correct, then time is of the essence, okay? Could make all the difference in the world.

Devon: Absolutely. He’s staying at the grand phoenix, you know.

Abby: Okay, let’s go.

Victor: No, darling, I want you to stay.

Abby: If you’re gonna confront him, I should be there.

Victor: No, sweetheart, i don’t think so.

Devon: Yeah. I think that we’re gonna get a much more honest response out of him if you’re not in the room.

Victor: I promise you I will tell you everything that happens at the meeting, alright? Everything. Meanwhile, my darling, please be careful.

Abby: Okay.

[ Sighs ]

Mariah: [ Gasping ] Clean towels. Okay. We can do this, bowie. We can do this, okay? I just need to relax. Shh.

[ Humming ]

So we can handle all this

and more

’cause even things lost in the ocean need the shore

[ Inhales sharply ]

Even things lost in the ocean need the shore

[ Sighs ] Oh, god.

[ Sniffles ] Yeah. Oh, do you remember that? Ohh. That was tessa’s song.

[ Exhales sharply ] You remember, right?

[ Laughs ] Ohh. I know, I am — I’m butchering it [Chuckles] But she’s the singer, not me. Alright?

[ Grunts ]

[ Sighs ] I’m just — I’m just a fan. I’m her fan. God, I miss her so much.

[ Sobbing ] Oh. Ah. I miss her voice. And her sweetness. Just all of it. Oh. She’s probably finished her lullaby for you by now. I wish she was here to sing it to you.

[ Chuckles ] Can you imagine the party that they are gonna have when we get out of here?

[ Exhales sharply ] There’s gonna be so much music. It’s just gonna be a huge celebration. Oh, god. Oh, I’m dizzy. Oh, god, no, no, no, no.

[ Gasping ] Mm, I can’t pass out. I can’t pass out now. Bowie needs me. Bowie needs me.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Stitch: Hey. I got your text. Are you okay? Is there any news?

Abby: No, um, no news. Not since that important lead that you gave the police. I am just so thankful that you saw that man in the store.

Stitch: I wish I could’ve been more help. Maybe there’s a chance my lead could still pay off.

Abby: Well, you know, I’m not sure about anything anymore.

Stitch: I’m sorry.

Abby: The only thing I know is that I feel better when you’re around. (Asaad) since my mother got cancer from smoking,

Tessa: Oh, man. Well, we should get back to the house.

Sharon: Um, before we go, I’d like to say a prayer.

Tessa: I think that’s a beautiful idea.

Sharon: Join me? Dear god… please protect mariah and the baby.

Mariah: [ Groaning ]

Sharon: And give them the strength to get through this ordeal.

Mariah: [ Groaning ]

Sharon: And please give us the ability to find them. They are loved by so many of us.

Mariah: [ Breathing heavily ]

Tessa: Bring them home. Do that, and I will spend the rest of my life making sure that mariah is safe, loved, and happy. Amen.

Sharon: Amen.

Abby: And I just — I cannot believe that this is happening. My dad and devon were here earlier and they want to be helpful, but there is nothing that they can do. I mean, they can hire all of the private investigators and all of the security teams, but none of it matters unless mariah and the baby can come home, and the longer that this goes on, the more scared I get.

Stitch: It’s gonna be okay, abby. Okay? You have to believe that.

Abby: Tessa says that she can sense that something is really wrong with mariah. And I can sense something, too, because I can feel my baby crying for me. And his cries, they pierce my heart. And I don’t know where he is and I don’t know if mariah can take care of him. I don’t know if they even have enough food.

Stitch: I’m sure they do.

Abby: I have never been so scared because I can feel my baby, I can feel him crying for me, and there’s nothing I can do. I don’t even know where he is, and I would give up everything, I would give all of this up, i would pay whatever ransom if i could have them back, if I could get rid of this feeling of being helpless. And I am doing this all alone. Chance isn’t here.

Stitch: Hey. I’m here, abby. Whatever you need. Just tell me what to do.

Devon: Yes, thank you very much. I appreciate it. Okay, so my private investigator just poked another hole in stitch’s story.

Victor: And what’s that?

Devon: He doesn’t even have a job in iowa city. He was fired from it months ago. And that’s not what he told abby.

Victor: Whoa.

Devon: Mm-hmm.

Victor: So he could have used that as a cover to save face.

Devon: You don’t really believe that for a second, do you?

Victor: Detective, did you find anything?

Rey: Hey, yeah, did your team track mariah’s cellphone here, too?

Victor: That’s an important piece of the puzzle, isn’t it?

Rey: Yeah, unfortunately, we only know it’s here in the hotel somewhere, but we weren’t able to narrow it down to a floor or even a wing.

Devon: Well, we should check stitch’s room, right?

Victor: I agree. Let’s do it right now. Depression.

Rey: Stitch isn’t here.

Victor: Any sign of mariah’s phone?

Rey: I haven’t seen it.

Devon: Got to be here somewhere. Let’s call mariah and find out right now.

Victor: Yeah.

[ Cellphone rings ] So it was stitch all the time.

Abby: Um, I shouldn’t lean on you like this. It’s not fair to you.

Stitch: It’s — it’s okay. I want to help you through this.

Abby: I know, yeah, I can sense that. You know, even after all these years, there’s still something between us.

Stitch: I’ve always felt so connected to you.

Abby: Is that why you came back to town? To be with me? Was there ever really a job at the hospital or were you just saying that? Stitch, you being back here, back in town, back in my life, has been such a blessing. Look, and let me be that for you. You know, I can be — I can be your sounding board. You can tell me anything. Anything, and I won’t get angry.

Stitch: I can’t believe how understanding you are.

Abby: Stitch, I know you. And I can see it in your eyes.

Stitch: What?

Abby: Guilt. You feel bad for what happened when we were married. No, no, what happened with max, that was not your fault.

Stitch: No. I’m a doctor. I-I-I… I should’ve seen what was going on with my son. I should have known what he was capable of.

Abby: No. No, see, look, us losing the baby, that was not your fault. That was a painful time for the both of us. And I know how deeply you felt that loss. And I think that’s why you can feel what I’m going through right now because I am about to lose another baby.

Stitch: No, no, we — we won’t let that happen. Okay? I — I admit —

Abby: You admit what? You admit what?

Stitch: I came back here for you. My life has been so hard since I left. I just needed to make things right. I was hoping for some kind of redemption. It was crazy, but I truly believe that you’re the only one who can put me back on course. You can make things right, abby.

Abby: No, we can make things right for each other. All is forgiven. Just please…please tell me where they are.

Mariah: [ Gasping ] Okay, kid.

[ Gasps ]

[ Breathing heavily ] It’s your time to come out now, isn’t it? This is gonna happen right now.

[ Whimpers ] Okay. I can’t talk you into staying there any longer. And I’ve done everything I can to prepare, so I just hope that I’m ready.

[ Gasps ]

[ Groaning ]

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Rafe: Good morning.

Nicole: Um… is this a bad time? I mean, if you’re– if you and ava are having breakfast, I don’t want to interrupt. I’ll go.

Rafe: No, no. I’m actually having breakfast alone. If you want to join me…

Ava: Do you not have somewhere u need to be?

Gabi: Oh, no, I do. I just love saying “I told you so.” Rafe is on his way to moving on. Ava! What happened? Did you lose your appetite?

Ava: Only because the sight of you makes me sick.

Gabi: Oh, that’s funny. I have the same reaction to the sight of you. But don’t worry. We won’t be seeing nearly as much of each other once rafe decides he wants to be with nicole and… drops you in the gutter, where you belong.

Ava: [Exhales heavily] Puttana stupida! Might want to be a little more careful who you turn your back on.

Philip: Wait. While I do respect my mother’s opinion, I make my own decisions. Welcome to titan.

Jake: [Laughs]

Gabi: Now that I’ve got you in the door at titan, we can move on from phase one.

Jake: Okay. What’s phase two?

Gabi: We watch. We listen. We gather information. We learn everything that we can about the way philip does business, and then we find the perfect way to sabotage him.

[Laughs] We’ll take him down so fast and hard, he’ll never know what hit him.

Jake: Ah. Then we take over the company and the entire world, if you have your way, right?

Gabi: Exactly.

Jake: Huh. You… are a diabolical genius. You know that?

[Dramatic music]

I promise, you won’t regret it.

Bonnie: Ah, well… that went well. Ugh.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Nicole: You know, this is the second time you’ve cooked for me this week.

Rafe: Hmm. Well, actually, I don’t think boiling water for boxed mac and cheese with holly helping actually counts as cooking.

Nicole: [Laughs] Yeah.

Rafe: Yeah. Yep. Yeah. Mm. Oh. I don’t think this actually counts as cooking, either.

Nicole: Oh, stop it. Stop it; you have been so good to me, and if you’re not careful, you just might spoil me.

Rafe: So you’re gonna try them?

Nicole: Mm-hmm. Yeah. Here we go. Yes.

[Strained] Mmm. These are–oh. These are interesting, huh?

Rafe: I warned you.

Nicole: No! Really, they’re great. They really–they’re great, and especially since I just popped in out of the blue. I mean, I didn’t pop in, but…

[Sighs]

Rafe: What do you mean?

Nicole: Well, gabi told me to stop by. She said that I’ve been on your mind and that you’d wanna see me.

Rafe: Really?

Ava: “I am sorry for blowing up the way I did about you and nicole. You’re just friends. I need to understand that.” Oh, the hell you are, ’cause if you had it your way, you’d be with her right now. But then, of course, you’d have to be man enough to admit what you really want. Delete. “The only thing I’m sorry about is that I was clueless enough to expect a man to understand anything about women.”

Steve: Who are you texting, ava?

[Disquieting music]

I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Brady: There’s nothing wrong with a little healthy competition.

Chloe: Unless you’re doing it just to mess with philip.

Brady: Chloe, I don’t know. I don’t get it. If you think for one second that I’m gonna tiptoe around philip’s infantile feelings when it comes to making a business deal, that’s not gonna happen. And I think I need to remind you that philip is not your boss. I am.

Chloe: So are you ordering me to go to new york with you, boss?

Jake: Look, I admire your ability to separate the personal from the professional.

Philip: My priority is the future of this company. I can’t let my mother’s doubts or, frankly, her hatred of you color a decision as important as this.

Jake: Okay, well, with all due respect, as someone who works for the competition, I don’t think kate has titan’s best interests at heart.

Philip: And you do?

Jake: You will find me to be very loyal.

Philip: I’m counting on that. Your knowledge of dimera, your ceo experience, will make you an invaluable asset.

Gabi: I couldn’t agree more. Looks like we’ve got a new hire.

Philip: Could you catch him up on what’s going on with gabi chic?

Gabi: Absolutely.

Philip: Great.

Gabi: Where are you going?

Philip: I gotta be somewhere.

Gabi: When will you be back?

Philip: A few hours.

Gabi: Well, I guess it’s just the two of us.

Jake: Hmm.

Nicole: I ran into gabi outside the brady pub, and I shared with her how bad I feel about how much I’ve leaned on you, and I went on about how you’ve comforted me, and gabi said she knows firsthand that you wanted me to lean on you.

Rafe: That is true. I told you that. Well, um… I am happy to be here for you through all of this.

Nicole: Yeah, I know. You’ve told me that. But I’m just worried that gabi was being polite.

Rafe: [Scoffs] Gabi is a lot of things, but polite is not one of them. But just so we’re clear…

Nicole: Clear about what?

Rafe: I wanna be here for you, and like I said, I wanna help you through all of this because that’s what friends are for. But gabi is just making trouble.

Nicole: Trouble for who?

Rafe: Ava. She has been amusing herself by trying to convince ava that I don’t wanna be with her anymore because I wanna be with you.

Ava: Oh, steven. Didn’t see you there. I was just texting rafe.

Steve: Well, it’s none of my business, but you might wanna think twice before you send it.

Ava: You’re right.

[Phone beeps] Deleted.

Steve: So… how are things going with you two?

Ava: Oh, they’re great, just really, really great, especially since we had a big fight this morning, but now, you get to gloat because you warned rafe that dating me would be the biggest mistake of his life.

Steve: I was out of line to say that. And… I owe you an apology.

Bonnie: Ah. Maybe we should’ve waited till after brunch to tell victor about the wedding.

Justin: Egg?

Bonnie: Mm-mm, caper.

Justin: [Laughs]

Bonnie: I suppose I should apologize to old vic for throwing the lox, though honestly, I didn’t think it would actually hit him.

Justin: Why? He started it. Why apologize?

Bonnie: Right. That’s right, he did. He did, when he dumped my countrified steak and eggs in my lap.

Justin: Right?

Bonnie: Oh, look. Oh. Mmm, mmm, mmm! So good! Remind me to thank cook for making it just like my mama did.

Justin: You’re not angry?

Bonnie: Honey, I’m hungry, but angry? We both know how victor feels about me. Is it–[Laughs] Is it a surprise he threw in a side of bacon with his opinion?

Justin: You deserve better.

Bonnie: You know, maybe you do. Seriously, look at me. It’s what most of your family and friends think, isn’t it? Seeing victor so upset, so disgusted, I think that right about now, you’re wondering if really there should be a wedding at all. Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Gabi: All right, now you’ve had the grand tour, what do you think?

Jake: I think that this… this is right where I belong. Ah, yeah. Hmm?

Gabi: Jake, do you mean titan, or that ceo chair?

Jake: Oh, I like the view from behind this desk.

Gabi: Really? Well, get your ass out of that chair–my chair–because we have things to do.

Jake: Hmm. What do you have in mind?

[Sly music]

Gabi: We need to turn this place upside down if we’re gonna find something that’s gonna help us convince victor to get his son out of this company.

Justin: Our wedding is about you and me, no one else, so it is definitely on for tomorrow. I don’t care if the old goat comes or not. If he doesn’t, at least our wedding cake will be safe.

[Both laugh]

Bonnie: [Inhales sharply] Sometimes I seriously have to pinch myself. This is… this is real, and you’re real.

Justin: As real as that cream cheese on your neck right there.

Bonnie: Right there? Ooh.

Justin: I’ll get it.

Bonnie: Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Mm.

Justin: That’s tasty.

Bonnie: Mmm, salty.

[Laughs]

Justin: Maybe we should… take this upstairs.

Bonnie: [Gasps] Are you kidding me? Honey, there’s 24 hours to our wedding! I gotta lock in my matron of honor… if you’re still okay with kayla standing up for me. I mean, I did ask her already and everything.

Justin: No, I’m very okay. I’m very okay. In fact, as you know, sonny will be my best man. I’m just waiting to hear from– er, get a text from him about when he arrives tomorrow.

Bonnie: Okay.

Justin: Oh, wait a minute. I just missed a phone call from him. Better call him back. Sonny, sorry I missed your call. So what time do you arrive tomorrow? Oh, no.

Ava: You owe me an apology? Now that’s a new one.

Steve: I’ve started to realize that I tend to hold on to my opinion of other people even when what’s right in front of me tells me that that opinion might not hold water anymore.

Ava: What are you talking about?

Steve: You. Bonnie lockhart.

Ava: I don’t understand.

Steve: When justin started dating bonnie, I warned him that she would make his life hell, just like I warned rafe against you. Justin said she’d changed. She said the same thing. I didn’t believe it, and I was wrong. Bonnie’s good for justin. Oh, they’re happy. Hell, they’re engaged.

Ava: Hmm.

Steve: So I couldn’t see who bonnie had become because I couldn’t see past the grudge I had against her.

Ava: So what changed?

Steve: A very wise woman told me that you have to let go of the hurt and anger to find compassion. It’s the only way to move forward. So it’s time I did that. It’s time I realized that bonnie really is trying to change. Least I can do is give her the benefit of the doubt. And you deserve that too.

Nicole: [Gasps] I–that’s ridiculous. You and I are just friends, right? I mean, that’s it.

Rafe: Right? Yeah, yes, and that’s what I– I’ve been telling ava that over and over, but you know, gabi’s getting her because gab is a master button-pusher, and she’s been pushing ava’s buttons, and so… we had a fight.

Nicole: About you and me.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: [Sighs] Rafe, I’m so sorry.

Rafe: No, no, no, no, no. Nicole, you don’t have to be sorry. There’s nothing for you to be sorry for. It’s just… you know, if something that small set ava off, and she doesn’t trust me anyway, I… you know, in the beginning, i thought that–I thought we were a great match, you know, and that things were really gonna work out, but… I don’t know. Maybe we’re just too different to make things work.

Certain hpv-related cancers?

Brady: No, of course I’m not gonna order you to go to new york. I would never make you do anything you’re uncomfortable with. However, that being said, i could really use your help in new york, especially since nicole can’t go.

Chloe: And, trust me, i wanna do the work that you and nicole are paying me to do.

Brady: Okay, well, today, that work is in new york.

Chloe: Okay, I know that now.

Brady: Yeah. And while you’re doing the work that we are paying you to do, as you put it, you get to see your family, see parker and your parents, and I think that would do you some good, right? Besides, chloe, if you and philip are as solid as you say you are, why would he have a problem with this?

Philip: Why would I have a problem with what?

[Dramatic music]

Jake: Whoa!

Gabi: What? What did you find?

Jake: Guy collects baseball cards. Sammy sosa rookie, o’brien…

Gabi: [Spluttering] Stop! Baseball cards are not gonna bring philip down.

Jake: All right, you’re right, you’re right. It feels good, though, to be back on track, I gotta say. My hiring almost didn’t happen, okay? Kate warned phil that you and i might screw him over.

Gabi: It’s a good thing that philip doesn’t listen to mommy dearest. You know, there is nothing here!

Jake: Yeah, not everything is as easy as pushing ava vitali’s buttons.

Gabi: I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Jake: Mm. She was ready to combust this morning, and you put a match to her.

Gabi: She doesn’t belong with my brother, so what, I’ve been trying to get into her head so she gets out of my brother’s life. Who cares?

Jake: You really think that’s a good idea?

Gabi: It was so easy. I just–I plant this tiny seed in her mind that my brother’s more interested in nicole, and ava runs with it. I mean, I expected her to, but i didn’t think that she’d be busting his chops so soon.

Jake: Even though nothing’s going on between rafe and nicole?

Gabi: Not yet. But I might have seen nicole earlier, and I might have suggested that she take her “woe is me” sob story and rest her sad little head on rafe’s big, supportive shoulder.

[Laughs] Pretty sure she’s there now.

Nicole: So ava accused me of having feelings for you, and, you know, I tried to explain to her that you’re just going through a rough patch, and I was doing things that any friend would do, but ava’s got it through her head that I secretly want you, and I couldn’t convince her otherwise. I mean, how crazy is that?

Nicole: It’s not so crazy.

Rafe: What?

Nicole: Maybe ava’s right.

Ava: It means a lot that you would have an open mind about me.

Steve: Well, you keep telling me you wanna be a better person for our son. I respect that, and I know how much it means to tripp.

Ava: I mean, there is nothing that I want more than to make tripp proud of me.

Steve: Well, looks like you’re on your way. But I can’t expect you to up your game unless I do the same, so I wanna say, if you and rafe are happy, I hope it all works out.

Ava: Thanks, but I’m not so sure that it’s going to. I’m not so sure that he still wants to be with me. We women are in the know about everything.

Bonnie: [Scoffs] We’re talking steve and kayla here. You can’t have one without the other. I mean, they go together like gin and tonic.

Justin: Bonnie, the real reason?

Bonnie: [Sighs] Okay. All right. When I pitched being my matron of honor to kayla, I said to her that having a classy woman like her would tell the whole world that marrying me might be a good thing, you know? If kayla johnson was in our corner, then obviously, you and me were meant to be. You know? And then having steve there– well, a legit supercouple? I mean, b-oom! Proverbial icing on the big old wedding cake, eh? Right? I mean, right?

Justin: [Chuckles]

Bonnie: What?

Justin: I don’t know how exactly, but you convinced me.

Bonnie: [Gasps]

Justin: And that it obviously means a lot to you, so, in the interest of making my bride-to-be happy, I will ask steve to be my best man.

Bonnie: Yes, yes, yes, yes! Oh, thank you! Thank you, justin. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Justin: I don’t know how in the hell I’m going to convince him to say yes, but I will– I’ll think of something.

Bonnie: Oh!

[Laughs]

Ava: I started the whole thing. No, I was upset because of how close he is with nicole.

Steve: You know they’ve been friends for years, right?

Ava: Yes, I know that… up here. In here… all I see is that she is the one that he wants to be with. She’s the one who laughs with him so easily. Whenever I can’t find him, guess where he is. With her. And it stings in my heart every single time, and I certainly don’t have to tell you how crazy and jealous i can get.

Jake: Gabi… if I were you, I would leave ava vitali alone.

Gabi: What, because she’s some sort of mafia princess? Think that scares me?

Jake: No, I don’t, but maybe it should. Maybe you should be a little more respectful of her past.

Gabi: Did you cross paths with her when you were working for her crime family?

Jake: No, I didn’T. I was too low on the food chain to be on her radar. But I’m telling you, I heard stories. She’s ruthless, brutal, even, so do me a favor. Do yourself a favor. Steer clear of her.

Gabi: No, never mind me. What about rafe? If she was so brutal and ruthless, she better stay the hell away from my brother.

Steve: I’ve known you a long time, ava, so maybe you’ll take a bit of advice. Try trusting rafe.

Ava: Hmm, trust. Now, there is something I am not very good at.

Steve: But you can learn. Because if you let your insecurity make you paranoid, that always leads to obsession, and I’d like to think those bad old days are behind you. So if rafe says he wants to be with you, take him at his word.

[Gentle music]

Rafe: What do you think that ava’s right about?

Nicole: Well, she’s not right about you and me. I mean, you secretly wanting me–that’s ridiculous. But she is right about spending time together, about me leaning on you too much.

Rafe: Well, that’s not her call.

Nicole: Can you just hear me out?

Rafe: Okay.

Nicole: I know ava, and i know how insecure she can be, especially with men. I mean, she asked you in front of me if you had feelings for me, and you said no, and she still couldn’t accept it.

Rafe: Well, she’s gonna have to accept it. I mean, she’s gonna have to accept that you and I are friends. I’m not gonna stop hanging out with you just because she feels threatened.

Nicole: Well, why not? If you care about her, why would you want her to feel that way?

Rafe: Well, I don’t want her to feel that way, but I also– I don’t like that she’s so possessive, and… you know, I don’t want to spend less time with you, or anyone else, for that matter, just because she feels jealous or insecure.

Nicole: Okay. I understand.

Rafe: Okay.

Nicole: But when I suggested that ava move in here with you–

Rafe: You mean when you strongarmed me.

Nicole: Yes, when i strongarmed you. I just–I thought that you could be good for her, and you have been, and you wanna know what else I see? That she’s been good for you. And I do not wanna get in the way of that. I really don’T.

Rafe: Okay, look, you just ended your marriage.

Nicole: And you and ava just started something. And it’s like I just said to you, this is working for you and for her, and I just think that– I just think that you both should see where it could go.

Chloe: Hey, what are you doing here?

Philip: I thought I’d take another crack at the whole gabi chic-basic black collaboration idea.

Brady: I’m pretty sure we closed the door on that.

Philip: You did. You slammed it shut. But then I told myself, “poor brady wouldn’t know a great idea if it bit him in the ass.”

Brady: [Chuckles]

Philip: So I’m trying again, with details. General business model, comps, projections, revenue streams.

Brady: Whoa. Well, you’re serious. And here I thought this might just be an excuse for you to check on chloe.

Philip: Why would I need to do that?

Brady: Ah. Well, hey, man, this is great. This is great, and chloe and I– we will take a look at this on the jet.

Philip: What?

Brady: Yeah, listen, I’m gonna make some last-minute arrangements, and you two talk.

Philip: What’s going on?

Chloe: [Sighs] Brady wants me to go to new york with him. Truthfully, it’s frustrating to see how fast dust reappears.

Philip: Why can’t nicole go to new york with brady?

Chloe: Nicole’s still really upset about eric, and she wanted to take the rest of the week off.

Philip: So brady can go solo.

Chloe: He insists that he needs me there.

Philip: I bet he does.

Chloe: He also did say I’d have a chance to see parker and my parents.

Philip: I can take you to see parker and your parents. We’ll go to new york next weekend or anytime you want.

Chloe: You trust me, don’t you?

Philip: Of course. It’s brady I don’t trust. The man knows you’re with me, and he keeps angling to get between us.

Chloe: In case you’ve forgotten, I’m with you, and nothing changes that.

Philip: Right. Right, I know. And I don’t like telling you not to do this. I mean, it’s your job. It’s your decision. It’s just picturing you on the dimera jet with him, staying in a hotel–

Chloe: Philip, stop. Stop, please, and listen. You are more important than business, so if you don’t want me to go with brady, then i won’T.

Bonnie: I have seen you in court, counselor, and you could talk a gate off its hinges. I have every confidence that you can get steve to go along.

Justin: Okay, then, I’ll text him. I better change these clothes, too, before I meet him.

Bonnie: Maybe. I oughta get to work too. I gotta decide whether I want, ah, man, rice or birdseed, confetti, nothing, oh, what about the menu? Do–hey. My groom have any suggestions?

Justin: About the menu?

Bonnie: Mm-hmm.

Justin: Um… definitely don’t make it brunch.

Bonnie: [Laughs] Good idea. Mm.

Justin: Bye.

Bonnie: Justin, wait.

Justin: Yeah.

Bonnie: I just wanna tell you I love you with my whole heart, and I can’t wait for tomorrow. I cannot wait to be your wife. It’s gonna be the happiest day of my life.

Justin: I can’t wait either. I love you very much.

[Tender music]

Bonnie: [Laughs breathlessly]

Ava: After I made a scene and slammed out of the house, I… I left rafe without breakfast, so, if you will excuse me, I am going to bring him his favorite muffin and an apology, a real apology.

Steve: Sounds like a good plan.

Ava: You know, steve, in the past, probably would’ve just told me to go to hell, but you spent a lot of time with me and gave me some really good advice. Thank you.

Steve: It’s okay. Just remember, nicole is your friend.

Ava: She’s my best friend, and I trust her, and I trust rafe too.

Steve: There you go. See you later.

Rafe: I’m sorry, but no. No, that doesn’t work for me. I’m not gonna start seeing a lot less of you, or whatever it is that you are suggesting.

Nicole: Rafe–

Rafe: No, that doesn’t work, nicole, okay? Just because I’m going out with ava, that doesn’t mean that i can’t see you.

Nicole: That’s not what I’m saying.

Rafe: No, like it wasn’t bad enough that I wasn’t there for you when you got the phone call that night from eric? I mean, none of this would’ve happened–

Nicole: No, stop, stop, stop, stop, and… [Sighs] What happened that night was not your fault. I made a choice, and I’M… I am making a choice now. I will miss you like crazy, but I can’t see you for a while. It’S… it’s best this way. Okay, we’re not gonna ask for

Jake: Ah, I give up. Nothing of interest in this office.

Gabi: Are you sure about that?

Jake: [Laughs] I might have misspoken.

Gabi: I think we may need to christen this desk before we go.

Jake: Oh, wouldn’t you think philip might mind?

Gabi: I don’t care. This is gonna be my office very soon.

Jake: Oh, don’t you mean my office?

Gabi: Well, maybe we can share.

[Sultry music]

Philip: No, I’m not gonna stop you from doing your job. So go to new york. I hope it’s a worthwhile trip.

Chloe: You sure?

Philip: I’m totally sure. A visit with parker will do you good.

Chloe: Thank you so much for being so understanding.

Philip: Just hurry back.

Chloe: Oh, I will.

Brady: Um, we’re all set to go. We can leave this afternoon, assuming it’s okay with philip.

Philip: Why wouldn’t it be? You’re very lucky to have chloe– working for you, that is, at least for now.

Brady: I agree, I am.

Chloe: Okay, I’m gonna call parker and tell him I’m gonna see him soon.

Philip: You do anything inappropriate with my girlfriend, in new york or anywhere else, I will kill you.

[Dramatic music]

Rafe: No. No, nicole, you don’t just get to do this. You can’t just unilaterally decide what’s best for me and then sideline our friendship.

Nicole: No, rafe, that’s not what I’m doing. I am just… giving us a time-out.

Rafe: You’re in a bad place, nicole.

Nicole: That I brought on myself. But I am going to get through it with the support of my friends and family.

[Sighs] My other friends. No, I have chloe, and– and even ava. She’s been pretty solid in the friend department. Please, try to understand. Please, rafe.

Rafe: [Sighs] Okay, then. Okay.

Nicole: Thank you. And would you mind if I… hung on to duke for a little while longer?

Rafe: Somebody’s gotta watch out for you.

Nicole: Yeah.

Rafe: Are you gonna finish your breakfast?

Nicole: Well, like you said, it does need a little more hot sauce.

Rafe: Yeah. Okay, well, guess this is it.

Nicole: For now.

Rafe: Yeah. So…

[Dramatic music]

Steve: Hey.

Justin: Hey.

Steve: I got your text. What’s up?

Justin: I have a favor to ask.

Steve: Name it.

Justin: I think you better brace yourself.

Bonnie: Bonnie lockhart kiriakis. Hmm. Bonnie lockhart-kiriakis. Ooh, no, bonnie…

[Gasps] Kiriakis. Yeah, baby, that’s the one. Has A… ring to it.

[Pensive music]

Man, adrienne. Girl, I did you wrong every way possible, and I’m gonna spend my life making up for that. The best way I can do that is to do my damnedest to make sure I make justin just as happy as you did.

[Thump] Oh, my god. I can’t believe it. You’re alive.
