THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Chase, please don’t give austin the power to go after the quartermaines. Considering you just told me that you love michael, maybe you’re not the best person to make this argument right now. Look, look, chase. I get it. I do. Willow and I, we — we kept the truth from you. But that’s on us, not the rest of the quartermaines. You know what? You’re right. Why should i go after your family? They didn’t do anything to me. Do whatever you want with it. I don’t care. Chase, your wheelchair. I don’t need it anymore. I don’t need any of this. Well, congratulations. The maybe-not-so-much-better man won.

[ Sobbing ] Phyllis.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Sobbing continues ] Well? Uh, I said understated, remember? Ok, yeah, I-I guess polka dots are a bit much.

[ Laughs ] Um, I’ll find something less ’50s retro. Ok, alright. Can we do this another time? Because I’m meeting josslyn and jax in five minutes for a dinner date. Yes, absolutely. Ok. Uh, and carly, don’t worry, your wedding is gonna be gorgeous. I know it will. Thank you so much for helping me. No, thank you for helping get my mind off louise. We’ll talk tomorrow.

[ Sighs ] Hey, maxie. Why are you in nixon falls? Oh, no, no, no. The more interesting question is, what is sonny corinthos doing here, alive and well and calling himself “mike”? Peter, I’d rather talk about you. Why don’t we sit?

[ Chair slams ] We obviously have so much catching up to do, nina. That was kevin. He wants to talk about “our plan.” “Our plan”? Sounds ominous. Does he want us to get jobs?

[ Scoffs ] Bite your tongue. My grandmother leaves town for two seconds on mayoral business and all of a sudden kevin thinks that he needs to take her place. I didn’t mind the guy at first, when they first got married, but…it’s not even like he and I really kept that much in touch when I was away at school. I just don’t understand why he’s trying to intervene and take control of my life. Everything’s going to work out, spence. We have a plan, it’s just not the plan kevin thinks we should have. I never asked you to set fire to ava’s car. But now you have an alibi, and daddy dearest must be feeling pretty darn guilty about blaming you for stalking ava. You’ve got him right where you want him, so relax. Enjoy the moonlit pool… and your gorgeous girlfriend. Trina! Carly: You guys are here! Aww. And cameron, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you for doing this. This was completely unnecessary. No, come on. This is our pleasure. I mean, this is a big event, right? Our little girl’s freshman year in college. Yes. Dad, if you call me your “little girl” one more time, I’m gonna leave.

[ Laughter ] I’ll promise to be on my best behavior. I can’t say the same for your mother. Oh, you don’t have to worry about me. I will be just fine. And I’ll make sure I’ll keep your dad in line, too.

dear nina, can’t we play nice? Absolutely. You should really put that gun away before mike returns. Don’t you mean sonny? I guess I’ll just have to take care of him, too. You know, peter, you should really relax more. Can I get you something to drink? Perhaps some wine? Just your cell phone. Please. Right here. Happy? Very. So how about we… start with you, peter. Where have you been? Details aren’t important. Of course, once maxie betrayed me and secretly recorded my false confession and turned it into mac, I had to disappear. No easy task. No one knew if you were dead or alive. Let’s just say I was lying low while searching for my precious louise. A search that’s taken me straight to maxie. Maxie, it’s wonderful to see you. How was texas? Agua dulce is always fun. Georgie and james really enjoyed seeing their great aunt. She, of course, spoiled them rotten. Wow. Bailey’s grown so much since I’ve been gone. Hasn’t she? A couple more pounds, she’ll be ready for management at deception.

[ Laughs ] Well, I’d be happy to work for her any day. Um, how is deception? I-I was on my way there right now. I thought I’d go through my accumulated messages. We just came from there. I was showing bailey off to some of the staff. Oh, my god! Is she wearing baby cartullo? You’re going to be so beautiful and stylish when you grow up.

[ Clears throat ] Um, I better go.

[ Chuckles ] Maxie, wait a second. There’s been a development in louise’s case. I have to talk to chase. We can’t leave things like this. Do you want me to come with you? Thanks, but this is between chase and me. Are you proud of yourself? Are there any other lives you’d like to destroy? Brook lynn. No, I mean it. This gatlin-holt creature better scram before we call the cops on him for trespassing. I’m not going anywhere until I get what I came here for.

[ Scoffs ] So if you don’t mind. You know what I mind? You manipulating chase to get this. That’s as underhanded as a person can get. No more underhanded than sleeping with a man’s wife. Trina! Are you here alone? I’m meeting joss and cam after their dinner with joss’s parents. I came a little early to work on an assignment in one of our electives at pcu we’re taking together. How adorable.

[ Laughs ] I’ve never had childhood friends that I’ve known since forever. I just love how close the four of you are. Oh, spencer and I aren’t close. We just met. Trina, don’T. You know that’s a lie. I was actually starting to believe that spencer was behind it all. I mean, the call from ryan chamberlain, the writing on the wall that said, “it ends tonight,” the power outage. And I would not put it past him. But when joss’s bodyguards started talking about getting joss and me off the island on a corinthos boat, I knew that spencer wasn’t pranking us. Well, it turns out that his father was pulling the strings. All to teach spencer a lesson, when he hadn’t even done anything. I mean… I mean, I guess he did throw a gigantic party without permission. Right, but he didn’t stalk ava. I mean, I-it blows my mind that his dad even thought he was capable of that. Yeah, yeah. It’s all kinds of wrong. Anyway, you know, I-I’m really sorry that tony called you. Oh, it’s ok. Yeah. Yeah, better to err on the side of caution and let your mother know what’s going on. I mean, your life, unfortunately, is more dangerous than the other kids your age. Even if… even if what? Well, even if you happen to be preoccupied with — with other things. I… I’ve never let other things, business, get in the way of protecting our daughter or my other kids. You know that. Yeah, dad, I — I really wasn’t in any danger. Yeah, yeah. No, no, no. We know that now. But, you know, it wasn’t that long ago when that novak guy approached you at kelly’s and harassed you, remember? Yes, but josslyn is fine. Mm. Just like I said she was going to be, so we can just let that go.

Don’t listen to this snake. Just let him slither on out of here, back under the rock that he came from. So you took advantage of a complicated situation that you know nothing about. Yes, chase has been through hell, but so has willow. But not that that mattered to you, because all you cared about was finding an opening you could exploit. Chase is a grown man. I don’t think I exploited him at all.

[ Scoffs ] Yeah, right. Look, despite what you think, I’m not some heartless bastard. Look, if I did let my baser instincts guide me, then maybe I do owe chase an apology. Yeah, and how’s that gonna make anything better? Look, all I’m trying to do is right a terrible wrong that was done to my father. My dad was not a perfect guy — far from it — but he was always there for me. He worked really hard to put me through medical school and in return… I watched him die a slow and painful death. Brook lynn: It’s too late. Any sympathy points that you earned for your dad were gone the second that you used chase to — to poke around in edward’s office. It’s a nice sob story, but we’re not buying it. Right, michael?

[ Sighs ] I-I’ll understand if you want to slam the door in my face, but… I would really like to talk to you. What else is there left to say? Besides the million apologies you probably don’t want to hear? The a/c conked out in my car. I could really use a glass of water.

[ Sighs ] I know what you’re probably going to say — that you didn’t start out intending to lie to me. Michael and I had just… realized how much we… cared for one another, and… I had come here to tell you. And then I was so sick that I passed out on the floor, and you took me to the hospital instead. A-and I get why you didn’t break up with me that night, but after that, you had plenty of chances.

[ Sighs ] And you were gonna tell me. The night of my pretend nantucket getaway. But then finn interrupted, saying he had the cure to the… poison that was killing me. And when it didn’t work, I knew I couldn’t tell you. Yeah, but you should have. And you should have turned down my marriage proposal. Chase. I could never say no to you when you needed me. You’re calling me a liar? I just meant you don’t need to cover for me. I told esme that you knew I was in port charles before anyone else. Spence and i have no secrets, trina wasn’t thrilled to find out that “victor” was just an alias and that I’m really spencer cassadine, but thank you for not telling anyone. Aww, treen, what a true friend. She is. I’m lucky to have her. Hey, bae, why don’t you rustle up some truffle fries for us? Are they as good as the ones we had in brussels that one time we sneaked off from midterms? We’ll find out. He’s so sweet, but you already know that.

[ Scoffs ] I really don’t know “spence” that well. It’s just us, now. We can be real with one another. I know you have a crush on my boyfriend. Since my own search for louise wasn’t turning up any results, I was hopeful that maxie might be following some leads. Was she following a lead? No. It’s all the same. I want to be the first one to find my daughter anyway, and when I do… maxie will have a choice —

if she wants to be in our little girl’s life, then she’ll have to share her life with me, as well. But maxie doesn’t even know that you’re following her. No. Once it was safe for me to resurface, I tracked her to texas. But when I arrived, maxie was already leaving. So then I followed her here, to this quaint little town and this quaint little bar… where I found you. And sonny. Maxie’s not here anymore. Yes, I’m aware of that, nina. I was about to follow her when I bumped into sonny — or is it “mike”? See, I’ve told you my story. Now let’s hear yours. Eight months ago, I was washed up in nixon falls with only the clothes on my back and a — and a watch that was engraved with my name on it. You know, and you not only gave me a place to stay, but you gave me a life — you gave me a family. One of them is lenny.

[ Sobbing ] Jax: To josslyn. Carly: To josslyn. Cam: To josslyn.

[ Laughter, cheering ] Speech. Speech. Oh, god. Ok, well, um, thank you guys for embarrassing me in a public setting, but I would not love you as much as I do if you hadn’T. And this in no way is goodbye. I’m still going to be home every weekend with my dirty laundry.

[ Laughs ] And I will be here for the wedding, of course.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, yes, the wedding. That’s right. Have you and jason set a date? Yeah, they did. September 17th. Wow. So soon. Why wait? I could think of a few reasons. Mom? Dad? Mm-hmm? Is there something wrong?

I’m almost certain that peter survived. Um, how is that a development in the search for louise? Peter’s very well-connected. He’s extremely well-financed. How well? Well, he’s faison’s son. He has access to all of his father’s assets and his contacts. If that’s the case, he’s throwing everything he has at finding louise, I think, and there’s a good chance he’s found her. Oh, I doubt that. Why do you say it like that? After I found out that jax and carly covered up the fact that nelle was my daughter, I desperately needed to get away. So… I came to this quaint little town, nixon falls, t-to visit a friend, phyllis — the woman you and sonny keep mentioning. Yeah, and I was just as surprised as you to find mike here. Don’t you mean “sonny,” nina? Come on, no one here except us. No need to use sonny’s alias with me, right? I can him “mike” because he’s “mike” to me. He’s kind and he’s gentle, and he loves the simple life I haven’t thought of him as sonny corinthos in a very long time. And how did this ma– “mike” come to be? He lost his memory when he fell into the river looking for julian jerome. Is the memory loss permanent? I don’t know. All I know, peter, is that he’s happy. And I didn’t tell him the truth because I thought it would ruin everything that he found here. Oh, nina. That’s so very thoughtful of you. I’m sure getting one over on carly corinthos… never even crossed your mind whatsoever when making that decision, did it? Nor the fact thatyou’ve fallen for mike. Your father and i had a little disagreement, but that’s ok, because tonight is about you. Absolutely. So we should order. Are you guys going to be like this all night? Like what? Ok. Uh… why don’t you and cam give jax and I a minute to talk? Just head over to the pool and I’ll call you when it’s safe to come back. Oh, great. Yeah, let’s go. Y-you just said tonight was about her and then you sent her away to the pool. I mean, is this what it’s gonna be like from now on? You and I can’t even be in the same room together? I am so sorry. I’ve never seen them act like that before. I mean, they have their fair share of arguments, trust me, but never in front of me or my friends. God, I cannot believe they acted that way in front of you. Joss, you don’t have to hide the messy parts of your life from me. My family’s far from perfect. Still. Joss, it’s me. It’s the boy you pushed into the sandbox when you liked my pail better than yours. The boy who went trick-or-treating with you all three years while you dressed up like a stalk of corn. Oh, cam. Don’t bring that one up. I know you, joss. I know your family. Look, I-I’m sorry that your parents are fighting, but it doesn’t matter to me. You’re so amazing and you make me feel like the luckiest guy in the world. It’s ok, treen, really. I only brought it up because, uh… I don’t want there to be any awkwardness between us. Why do you care if there’s awkwardness between us? Why are you going out of your way to be so nice to someone you think likes your boyfriend? Because you didn’t do anything wrong. I mean, spencer didn’t even tell you he had a girlfriend. And that doesn’t make you mad? You know how guys are. I mean, they’re denser than a redwood forest, and spence is no exception. I’m sure he didn’t mean to lead you on. I’m not into girl-on-girl rivalry. Do you walk on water, too?

[ Laughs ] I love your sense of humor! And you seem like a really nice girl. I’d like to be friends with you. At the very least, I’d like us to get along for spence’s sake. I can tell your friendship means a lot to him.

[ Clears throat ] What did I miss? Just a little girl talk. Willow: I never wanted to hurt you, but that doesn’t change the fact that I did. I gave you hope and then I took it away from you. When all I wanted to do was repay you for everything you’d given me. You talking about wiley? Before wiley. After I gave my baby to brad and lucas, I was so empty — so alone. I-I had no family, no one to turn to, and then in you walked. Detective harrison chase — handsome, intelligent, and above all, kind. Understanding. I thought, “I could build a home with this guy.” My horrible past no longer mattered, just the present and future that I was going to have… with you. And then… then sasha and i staged the affair. I understand where you’re coming from. I know what it’s like to lose a father — I lost my own recently. Sorry to hear that. But family was the most important thing to him, and I am like him in that respect. Family is everything to me, too. I’m not trying to threaten your family, michael. Coming after elq is coming after our family. How is that hurting anybody, brook lynn? By — by getting a few shares of elq? That document proves that edward wanted my father to have those shares. He’s not here — my father — to claim his rightful seat at the table, so I’m — I’m gonna have to do that for him. T-that’s very noble of you, austin. You know what’s not? Using chase. Taking advantage of a very painful situation. Why would I ever let you win by those methods?

I make a desperate play involving your friend chase, who’s not your friend, by the way, and that’s it? No coming back from that?

[ Sighs ] Well, I’m in no position to judge, am I? That’s another thing my father taught me — he could never stand a hypocrite. Michael, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?! Austin played dirty. He did, but he’s not the only one. Our family has a history of playing dirty, especially when it comes to elq, so it’s time to break the cycle. Thank you. This means a lot to me. Yeah, well, don’t thank me yet. When sasha and I came up with the plan, I knew there was a possibility that I could lose you. I told myself that… it was worth it, no matter how painful, because I knew that it was more important that you and michael got custody of wiley. I know, chase. And then I-I took a step back and I didn’t tell you the truth when I saw how close you and michael had gotten. Then we started spending all this time together, and… it was like it was before. And I felt that if there was a chance for you and me, I should take it. You know, I wanted to take it. You know what really hurts willow? That I — I truly believed that you loved me as much as I loved you. Do you play tennis? It was mandatory at our school. Thankfully, I’m quite good, but spence is addicted. He’ll probably be playing all weekend. While he’s out pursuing athletic glory, can I interest you in a mani/pedi? What time looks good for you? Trina, we have a bunch of start of semester parties and events to go to, so you know what? I don’t think that you’re available this weekend. Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry. I’m totally booked. That’s ok. Some other time, then. These fries are amazing. Just as good as the ones we had in brussels. Let’s get some more. My treat. Spence? At your service, mademoiselle. What’s up with the “girl bonding” thing? Trina’s a nice girl. You’ve got good taste. Esme… it’s fine, spence. We just have to be careful. She knows things about you that can wreck your plan. Trina is not like that. Broken hearts make people do all kinds of strange things. I’d hate for all of your hard work to be for nothing. I just want you to have everything you deserve. So what is going on between you and esme? Nothing. I got it handled. Ok, maybe I don’T. You know, I told nina that this feeling of loss is really familiar. You remember losing someone? If I did, I-I wouldn’t know who it was. But it’s just real — this aching. It’s just — in here, you know. I know I-if there was somebody, they would have to be important like lenny was. I hope you’ve known love in your previous life, mike. It’s the greatest gift a human being could ever receive. I’d be lucky to find, uh — what you and lenny had. But you have. Even if you don’t know it yet, I can tell you’re in love with nina. Peter, you have such a vivid imagination. I don’t have feelings for mike.

[ Laughs ] It’s too late to cover. I saw the way the two of you were looking at each other. Now, let’s just imagine, shall we, what would happen if I told carly corinthos that her husband was alive and well, and being kept secret by you. How fast do you think it would take her to ensure that you would never see that little wiley ever again? Just tell me what you want. There we go. I’ve always known you were a smart woman, nina. Cards on the table, shall we? I found it very difficult, searching for my daughter while being forced off the grid, so I need some shelter and a base of operation. You’re faison’s son. Why don’t you just tap into his former contacts? Because it’d be so much simpler just to have you ask maxie and valentin for me, without raising any red flags. They trust you, and they’ll tell you what they’ve learned. And then you, in turn, will relay it to me so I can find louise first. And if I don’t do it? What did you think was gonna happen when you tried to blackmail me? It wasn’t blackmail. You recorded our conversation on your phone. You tried to get me to admit to criminal activity. I was trying to protect josslyn. We’ve been over this already. If you cared about protecting josslyn, then you would respect the decisions I make for her welfare. What about respecting my decisions? I mean, do you ever once see things from my point of view? I mean, in what world do you think that taking over sonny’s business is safe for our daughter?

[ Whispering ] Keep your voice down. Josslyn doesn’t need saving, and neither do I. You, on the other hand, can learn a lesson in humility. What’s that supposed to mean? What, you’re gonna tell josslyn what I did?

This may not be the proof you need to get a seat at the elq table. Why not? Well, because the lawyer wrote to edward after a conversation about changing his will, but edward never followed through. The will was never changed. But this serves as proof that edward was at least thinking about my father, and I — I’d like to believe that a judge would agree. Good luck, then. Thank you, michael. This would make my father just so happy. Brook lynn: [ Sighs ] Are you happy now? ‘Cause you just cost us elq. I pray every day that my daughter is returned home safe, but I’m done with false leads and dead ends. It’s part of the reason I left town. And I’ll never stop hoping that louise comes home safe, but until that actually happens, um, I need to focus on being my best self for georgie and james. And for me. It’s the only way I’m gonna heal. I don’t want you to take this the wrong way, ok? If you’re not ready to return to work, don’t rush it. Thank you, but I need to keep busy.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Voice breaking ] Even when it’s hard. If you will not help me find my dear louise, know this — james will be a more than adequate replacement. And if you even think about telling maxie, I’ll return the favor and let carly corinthos know that her not-so-dearly-departed husband is here, and exactly who he’s spending his time with. So you have a choice to make, nina. You either help me find my daughter… …or you suffer the consequences. Do I have your word that you won’T… touch james? If I have your word that you will do everything in your power to tell me where louise is. We have a deal. Even if nina and I… look, all she has to do is go to port charles, right? Spend time with her grandson. And then she doesn’t have to come back.

[ Chuckles ] Right? Mm-hmm. Ok. You can always come up with excuses not to go after something because you’re afraid. I can’t tell you the number of people who told me it was “too soon” to marry lenny. He could be deployed at any time. We’d be separated more than we’d be together. But I knew, mike. In my heart, I knew lenny was the one. My only regret is that we didn’t have enough time. I would never do anything to undermine josslyn’s relationship with you. Glad to hear it. But josslyn’s not a little girl anymore, as she keeps telling us, so if you want to stay on your moral high horse, you’re going to lose her all on your own. Is that what you’re hoping for?

[ Scoffs ] No! I always want you to be in josslyn’s life, even if you’re not in mine anymore. We’re always going to be in each other’s lives, carly, because we’re co-parenting josslyn. No, we’re not. Josslyn’s moving out. She’s moving into the dorm, ok? The days of us raising josslyn together are over.

[ Stammers ] Just because she’s going to college doesn’t mean we’re not going to see each other. We’re gonna be at volleyball games, graduation, a wedding, hopefully. Yes. Our paths are always going to cross, and josslyn is always going to connect us. But the days of raising josslyn are over. You and I are going to show up as mother and father, nothing more. You and I shared a beautiful, once-in-a-lifetime love. And then you sacrificed it for wiley and me. I will always love you for that. You know, sasha told me that you would leave me for michael. But I knew that it was worth the risk, because wiley is your life — he’s your whole world, and I couldn’t forgive myself if I did nothing to help you keep him.

You have been one of the mostimportant people in my life. Now you’re just gonna walk away? That’s it? You’ve been one of the most important people in my life. You gave me josslyn, and I’ll always love you for that, but I don’t trust you anymore. And let’s face it, you don’t trust me. Oh, come on. H-how many times have you forgiven sonny? Or h-how many times have jason and sonny forgiven you? I mean, were my actions really that unforgivable? You never used to live in a black and white world. I remember when living in the gray area used to suit you just fine. But you’ve changed, at least when it comes to my actions, and I can’t have someone in my life who’s going to judge me all the time or go behind my back and hurt me. So this is our new reality, and it’s totally on you. So you’re gonna have to find a way to live with it. I’ve been thinking… always dangerous. We’re going to be in port charles for a while, seeing through our plan. Your point? We may as well find something to do. Maybe we should perhaps preempt step-grandpa kevin. You think we should get jobs? Oh, no. Let’s audit some classes at pcu. I’m feeling… “collegiate.” I really am grateful for having you in my life. Me, too. How many people can say they loved as deeply as we have? Mm. Not many. We were lucky. We were. No more apologies, alright? You’re wrong, brook lynn. We keep elq by ending our family dysfunction. We don’t keep elq by handing out shares to random strangers, michael. You know what? May– maybe austin wouldn’t have been a stranger if — if grandfather wasn’t so harsh or tracy so self-serving. You don’t know that. No one does. There’s no point in worrying. We only have the here and now, and despite all of your noble intentions, it doesn’t change the fact that you just made a big mistake. Hey, would you hold bailey for me for a second? Sure. Thank you. I’ll just be a minute. Ok. Take your time. Would it have been luckier to schedule a dinner than a lunch? Maybe for you, but not for me. Productive day? Yeah, check it out — the keys to the kingdom. The kingdom of the elq boardroom. And I’ll see you there. Yes, you will. You mentioned I was cesar faison’s son — you remember that if you ever think of double-crossing me.

[ Door opens ] Hey, nina. Hey. Hope you guys had enough time to catch up. Well, not quite as much as I would have liked, mike, so I think I’ll be sticking around nixon falls for a little while. Nina said she’d show me around. Ok, well, I’m, uh, looking forward to getting to know one of nina’s friends. It’ll be really great to get to know you, too.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Young & The Restless Transcript

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Mariah: Okay, bowie. Pain that I felt earlier wasn’t necessarily a contraction. Probably just pulled something working out. Trying to be healthy, ’cause i haven’t felt anything —

[ Gasps ] Oh!

[ Breathing heavily ]

Devon: So, rey’s trying to find out if there’s surveillance cameras at the convenience store?

Abby: If we could get footage of the man that stitch saw buying a truckload of those protein bars that mariah likes, I mean, that could be a concrete lead.

Tessa: The footage would also confirm that the guy’s shopping list was written on the yellow notepad with the storks on it that I bought mariah.

Abby: I just wish that rey would call. This is torture.

Tessa: You’d think he would be moving pretty quickly now that we have something worth pursuing.

Abby: Maybe you should call him.

Sharon: Oh, I have no doubt that rey is doing everything he can. He just — you know, he has to run everything by paul first, and it takes a little bit of time to get permission to view private video footage.

Devon: Yeah. No, we all just need to be patient, so…

Abby: I’m trying, and I am trying to stay positive. You know, we’re just lucky that stitch spotted this guy in the first place.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, no, we’re lucky you were paying attention. Where’d you say that shop was?

Stitch: Fourth street and willow lane.

Devon: Fourth and willow? You said you were staying at the gcac before you went back to iowa city, right?

Stitch: Yeah, I was.

Devon: So what were you doing in that part of town?

Gloria: I do appreciate you agreeing to a follow-up after our last get-together. In retrospect, I realized I may have been a smidge aggressive.

Lauren: [ Chuckles ] Maybe just a tad.

Gloria: I know, but my enthusiasm got the best of me.

Kevin: Hello.

Lauren: Oh, hi.

Chloe: Hi.

Gloria: Oh, hello, angels. Listen, we are in the middle of a business meeting, so if you two could move along.

Chloe: Oh, well, we actually have a table for two in mind, so don’t worry.

Kevin: Enjoy your lunch. Good luck. Geez.

Chloe: I wonder what that was all about.

Kevin: Michael told me gloria is giving lauren the hard sell to promote her. She wants to take over as the head of jcv.

Chloe: Oh, you got to give it to gloria. She has chutzpah. Now it all makes sense.

Kevin: What? What does?

Chloe: Well, she was fawning all over sally the other day, trying to pump her for info about the company’s young demographic.

Kevin: Poor lauren. Should we go back and save her?

Chloe: [ Chuckles ] No, gloria told us to run along. We should keep running.

Kevin: Okay. [ Laughs ]

Gloria: All I’m asking is that you listen to what I have to offer jcv with an open mind.

Lauren: I wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t willing to hear you out. So let’s get to it. You say you’re the best candidate for the job, so stop telling me and start convincing me.

Phyllis: Okay, I got your text that you’re back from milan, but I just wanted to personally check in with you. So —

Jack: You will be happy to know I fulfilled my duties as your messenger. Summer loved the gift you sent her.

Phyllis: Thank you for doing that for me. Summer texted me and said the visit was amazing. So, okay, I want your take on the whole summer-kyle thing. How are they doing and how are they doing with harrison?

Jack: It appears our kids are doing splendidly. They have made harrison feel at home. Kyle and I have worked out the logistics of him co-running jabot from europe, and summer is just shining at marchetti.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Great.

Jack: Want to try that again and maybe say it like you mean it?

Nick: I got here as fast as i could. Do you have some news to tell me and mom?

Victor: I do indeed. But before I get into that, i want you to know that I’m further investigating what happened to mariah. No update yet, but as soon as there is, I will let you know.

Nick: I really appreciate that. Sharon is worried sick. I mean, everyone is.

Nikki: We’re doing everything we can to make sure she gets home safe.

Nick: Well, just keep me posted, alright?

Victor: I shall do that.

Nick: Was there anything else you wanted to discuss?

Victor: In our investigation of ashland locke’s past, we may have come up with something that’s potentially very interesting.

Ashland: Is that right? Well, I was prepared for this to happen at some point. I appreciate you telling me. I’ll deal with it.

Victoria: That didn’t sound very good. What exactly do you have to deal with? Psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff,

Phyllis: Of course I’m happy for summer and kyle and sweet little harrison. Of course I am. I just want them to be in love and happy here in genoa city. Why can’t they be happy at home?

Jack: You know why. Because summer has a wonderful job that she loves.

Phyllis: I know. You’re saying all the things that I should feel, that I’m thrilled. But I’m being selfish, that’s all. And you know what? I saw melancholy behind that pleasant demeanor. I saw it in your eyes when you were taking harrison to italy. I mean, I know that family’s important to you. Why can’t you just admit that this is a loss for you?

Jack: It’s not a loss. Kyle and harrison are hours away. I can fly there anytime.

Phyllis: But it’s not like having kyle here with you every single day and having harrison here at the house. It’s not the same. You know, I miss my daughter walking into the grand phoenix and, you know, just grabbing a bite and…

[ Sighs ] Why can’t you admit that this is hard for you?

Jack: Okay, I give. It’s a lot harder than i admitted.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Jack: But we’re not gonna sit around here and wallow.

Phyllis: Why not? I want mutual wallowing.

Jack: Absolutely not. No. No, come with me. Come on.

Gloria: I have been studying the market. Yes, I have. And I know where this industry is going. Now, if you were to give me this job, I will anticipate trends and beat all the other companies to the punch. Now, wait, I am not saying that I will be reckless. No going rogue here. What I’m saying is I will make intelligent decisions followed by quick and efficient action. Lauren, I do want to carry on the work that summer started and even sally, what she carried forward in her brief tenure.

Lauren: Do you think you understand the targeted demographic, though?

Gloria: Absolutely. I’ve done my research. The women we are going after are young, ambitious, and they want — no, they demand work-life balance. And they care about the world around them. So our clothes will be socially conscious and environmentally friendly, just the way they are. Now, as I said before, I will use inclusive marketing strategies.

Lauren: You’ve really done your homework.

Gloria: And I can make your vision of this brand happen if you will only give me the opportunity to do so.

Lauren: I’ll admit, I’m impressed.

Gloria: Does that mean we can celebrate now?

Lauren: No, it does not. Not so fast. Because this interview is not over yet.

Chloe: Wow. Gloria is not holding back. Lauren is not going to make it easy for her.

Kevin: They are two forces of nature.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Chloe: Oh, is that an update on mariah?

Kevin: No. No news yet.

Chloe: [ Sighs ] I’m sorry. She is a total badass. Whatever has happened to her, she can handle it.

Kevin: I hope so. For her and for the baby.

Stitch: That market was out of my way. I had never been there before.

Sharon: Then why did you happen to go in?

Stitch: Remember how we went to chancellor park before I took off for iowa?

Abby: Yeah, we went and looked at an apartment for you. We had a good talk. I was in my head because I was worried about mariah.

Stitch: After we parted ways, I was feeling kind of nostalgic, so I went for a walk. I ended up by that pond we used to go to together on the other side of the park.

Abby: I know the one you mean.

Stitch: Well, the time got away from me. By the time I finally hit the road, I wanted to grab some snacks for the ride, so i stopped by the convenience store on the way out of town.

Devon: Mm. At the exact same time the guy was there, too.

Stitch: Not exactly. He came in after I did.

Devon: Still pretty lucky, though.

Stitch: Not lucky enough. I wish I could’ve put things together back then. We would’ve had a lead a lot sooner.

Tessa: Well, we have one now.

Abby: Thanks to you, rey is finally on a path that could lead us to mariah. For people who could use a lift

Tessa: [ Sighs ] I am too restless just sitting here. I’m going to get a drink.

Sharon: I’ll go with you.

Devon: Listen, I’m not gonna go anywhere until we hear back from rey, but I do have some business calls to return.

Abby: Yeah, well, you can use the library or the study if you need.

Devon: Okay, thank you.

Stitch: You sure you don’t want anything from the kitchen?

Abby: No, no. Thank you, though.

Stitch: I couldn’t tell how you felt when I mentioned that i took a little sentimental detour by our pond. I hope I didn’t make you uncomfortable.

Lauren: So can you pinpoint any area of jcv that could be improved upon?

Gloria: Yes, I can. Certainly. Not every division is perfect, and again, that is why strong leadership is so important. One of the first things I would focus on is our accessories. I would like to find a fashion-forward designer who could come up with statement necklaces, bold, bright pieces that really draw the eye. The way I see it, when you’re a young woman just starting out, you may not have the money to buy the entire jcv ensemble, but you can afford a piece of jewelry that will make your outfit pop. You agree with me?

Lauren: Yes. Yes, I do.

Gloria: Of course you do.

[ Chuckles ] Because I know my stuff.

Lauren: It’s a good idea. And I can’t tell you how many candidates were tripped up by that question.

Gloria: [ Chuckles ] Lauren, I have so many more ideas where that came from. No one wants this more or will work harder for you.

Lauren: Alright. Alright, let’s try it on a temporary basis. Okay? Let’s try some of your ideas, see what happens.

Gloria: Oh, thank you. Thank you.

[ Laughs ] Thank you for realizing I am the best person for the job. Oh, lauren, this is so exciting. I am thrilled. Now, I am going to go back to the office and make sure my assistant duties are covered, and then I will dive right in as interim president of jcv. My, doesn’t that have a lovely ring to it.

[ Both laugh ]

Ashland: That call was from a guy that used to work for me at one of my first news stations. He’s been retired. He hasn’t been in the business for years, but he’s suddenly getting these calls inquiring about me, including one from a reporter who managed to track him down.

Victoria: Well, probably at billy’s request. Just another chanccomm article.

Ashland: Yeah, I was thinking that, as well. Maybe newman media doing some digging.

Victoria: I’m sure that adam is hungry to grab some headlines. I mean, he — he would do at his board members’ expense. He told me that his company is launching in a few days and i wouldn’t be able to miss it.

Ashland: So he has a strong motive, as well.

Victoria: And then there’s my father, of course.

Ashland: Trying to protect his daughter. Victor gave us his word and his blessing that he was behind us, but he still could be doing his due diligence.

Victoria: Well, whoever it is, you seem to be taking it in stride.

Ashland: Well, I’ve gotten used to people being overly interested in my life. What would really be bothersome is if you heard information about me from someone else, because if there’s anything that you need to know about my life, I’d like to be the one to tell you.

Victoria: Well, um, okay. I’m ready and willing to listen.

Ashland: Well, there is a reason that the guy got a call from a reporter who I just talked to. When I was young, years ago, just starting out, I worked for this older woman who took me under her wing and she mentored me in the media world. Her husband owned two news stations, and after he passed away, she was the one who kind of took charge. And years later, when she died, I bought the two stations from her. And that’s what began my media empire.

Victoria: Okay. Well, thank you. I appreciate you telling me the truth.

Nikki: So, ashland was mentored by this woman, and after she died, he bought the news stations she owned?

Victor: Exactly. And that was his first big move in the business world, alright? And those tv stations he bought from her are the foundations of his company.

Nick: Well, I was concerned there was some deep, dark secrets about ashland, but this doesn’t seem too suspicious.

Nikki: No, I don’t think so either.

Victor: That’s not the whole story. There’s no one around who knows much about their relationship anymore, but the people we approached were most reluctant to talk about the relationship between ashland and that woman.

Nick: Well, it sounds like a non-issue to me. Obviously, ashland didn’t work too hard to keep this covered up or your pi wouldn’t have found it so easily. Ashland working with this woman and then buying those stations, that’s probably public knowledge.

Nikki: Exactly. And it’s not a crime to be an ambitious businessman. I think we should just accept that victoria has found a man who has no skeletons in his closet worth finding.

Victor: Well, sweetheart, if upon further investigation, we find out nothing, then I agree with you.

Nikki: It’s almost like you’re hoping to find something. Is that what this is? You want to destroy victoria’s marriage?

Mariah: Okay, bowie. Braxton hicks contractions are like practice contractions for a woman’s body to get them ready for the real ones when they’re about to give birth. And these — these better be braxton hicks contractions because you are not ready to make your grand entrance, okay? It’s too soon. It is way, way too soon. You can’t be born yet, alright? Okay, good. Good, I’m glad we agree on that.

Abby: You didn’t make me feel uncomfortable. I mean, why would that make me upset? I used to love going to that pond and feeding those ducks.

Stitch: Well, it’s still beautiful. Plenty of ducks looking for a friendly hand-out. I hope you take your son there one day when he’s old enough. Ah, I’m — I’m sorry. It’S…

Abby: It’s okay. No, I am gonna take him there all the time.

Stitch: You will. And you can make all kinds of incredible memories with your boy.

Abby: Thank you for being so supportive. That’s exactly what I needed to hear. You’re a really great friend.

Stitch: Friendship is a two-way street. It’s meant so much to me reconnecting like this.

Abby: Me, too.

Stitch: Listen, um, I’d love to wait here with you for rey to call, but I have to check in with max’s care team.

Abby: Right, yeah. I understand.

Stitch: You sure you’re gonna be okay?

Abby: Yeah, yeah, I have a great support team. I promise I’m gonna keep it together. In fact, I’m gonna go check on them in the kitchen.

Stitch: Okay. I’ll call and check in on you later, okay?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Taking off already?

Devon: Yeah. Um, can I talk to you for a second?

Devon: Sure.

Stitch: You have my number, right?

Devon: I do, yeah.

Stitch: Please call me if abby needs me.

Devon: You got it.

Chloe: Yeah, I should have.

Lauren: Well, not that gloria has hurried off, I thought i would share some news.

Kevin: We already know.

Lauren: Ah.

Chloe: Yeah, I was listening. Sorry, not sorry.

[ Laughter ]

Lauren: So, do you think I’m crazy for hiring her?

Chloe: No, actually, I think it’s a great idea. I mean, I think she said some great things, and I’m beginning to think that maybe this interim gig might become more permanent.

Kevin: I just hope she can do her job without driving you crazy.

Lauren: [ Laughs ] That is why it’s going to be currently temporary. And, you know, it takes some time to commit, you know. Learned that the hard way with sally.

Chloe: Uh-oh.

Lauren: Yeah, wish you would consider that before you hired her.

Chloe: Can we agree just to disagree?

Lauren: Look, I’m concerned, chloe. I really wanted it to work with sally at jcv, and then she showed her true colors. And I’m just afraid that you’ve made the same mistake that i did.

Chloe: I appreciate the warning, I really do, but I went into this with my eyes wide open. And I know sally and her ambitions have caused her to make some really unwise choices, but haven’t we all been there?

Lauren: What she did goes way beyond an error in judgment.

Chloe: Then I think she’s gonna fit in great with my team. I mean, look at chelsea. She’s a grifter. Look at me. I mean, I basically went off the deep end after I lost my daughter. But we’ve grown and we’ve changed, and I sense a real kindred spirit with sally, someone who is dying to put her talent to use, and I think she’s really just trying to move her life forward. Don’t you think she deserves that chance?

Lauren: You know, yes, in principle. But I don’t think she’s gonna change.

Jack: Hey. Hey! Let’s do this without phones. Come on, silence it. Just silence it. There, we’ll soak up the sun. Talk over our iced coffee. Without focusing on the fact that we’re not with our kids. We can plan a trip to visit them, make a regular thing of it.

Phyllis: You know what? I have an idea. Why doesn’t jabot buy marchetti and move the offices here?

Jack: Why didn’t I think of that? It’s feasible.

Phyllis: I’m just throwing it out there.

Jack: Jabot’s got millions lying around. Why not just snap it right up?

Phyllis: See, I come up with all the good ideas.

[ Both laugh ] It’s nice to see you laugh.

Jack: It’s nice to laugh. How about you? You doing any better?

Phyllis: I’m okay, thanks.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: We have company.

Sally: Wow, seems as if you guys are joined at the hip lately. How nice for the two of you.

Phyllis: Well, I’m spending time with a friend. You know, the definition of a friend is someone you care about and someone you trust that feels the same way about you. I’m sure it’s a foreign concept, but you should maybe wrap your head around that.

Sally: Oh, you think you’re trustworthy?

Jack: Okay, we’re not doing this. Sally, it’s nice to see you. If you’re just passing through, I suggest you move along.

Victor: Let’s put this to rest, okay? I’m not interested in ruining the relationship between ashland and victoria. I’m happy for her. I want her to be happy. He’s a good man, and I think he’s good for her. Having said that, I don’t want her to go into the marriage blindly, not knowing what the hell this man is all about. If my investigation turns up nothing, then good, then we can enjoy wonderful wedding in tuscany. I mean, imagine that. In tuscany in october, that’s absolutely beautiful. And then we can actually offer our good wishes in an honest way.

Nick: I’m wondering if we should keep digging. I talked to phyllis about this, and she said that if we keep meddling, it could backfire. Now, I realize the irony in that. It contradicts everything I was saying earlier.

Victor: Exactly.

Nick: My first instinct was to dig into ashland’s past, see what we could find out. But then I asked myself, “what right do I have — what right do any of us have — to question victoria’s choices?” Are we just begging for trouble?

Nikki: I think that we are. That’s been the point I’ve been trying to make all this time. I mean, what is the worst-case scenario? That ashland unfortunately dies too soon.

Victor: Sweetheart, I just want victoria to be happy, okay? I don’t want to find out before she gets married there’s something very dark in ashland’s past, that’s all.

Nikki: Well, you know what? If there is something dark from his past, that was then, this is now. What’s important is the man he is today. That’s who victoria is marrying.

Victoria: I have to ask. Did you have a more personal relationship with this woman who mentored you?

Ashland: It’s natural to wonder about that, but the answer is no. No, she was lovely. Bright and fun to be with, but it wasn’t anything like that. It was nothing like this.

Victoria: I’m not looking for reassurance and I’m certainly not threatened by something that took place decades ago. You have nothing to be ashamed of. I’m just simply interested in the path that you took to become the man that you are now.

Ashland: Well, I want to tell you everything. And I am so glad that you will be by my side for this next chapter of my life, wherever that takes us.

Abby: Oh, rey, thank god you’re here.

Tessa: Please tell us that you made some headway with the convenience store.

Rey: The store has surveillance footage. I’m just waiting on a warrant to obtain it.

Sharon: I told them that it might take some time.

Tessa: I’m trying, but this is excruciating.

Rey: I understand, but the good news is, is that I got the okay from chief williams to set up ongoing surveillance at the store. I have someone staking it out now just in case the guy that stitch crossed paths with returns. I also have another cop ready to review all the traffic camera footage from the area, so if this guy shows up on one of those cameras, we can at least track him to wherever he went after he left the store that day.

Sharon: You mean to wherever mariah’s being held against her will.

Rey: Or at least see what kind of car he was driving so we can run the plates.

Abby: That is great news. Thank you so much.

Rey: I wanted to tell you all what I knew in person, but now i got to get back to work.

Devon: Well, I really do hope your investigation pans out.

Tessa: And soon, because i don’t know how much more of this we can take.

Rey: I promise I’m not gonna give up until mariah’s found.

Phyllis: I apologize. I apologize for letting my emotion get the better of me. She brings out the worst in me. I’m sorry, you don’t need to be in the middle.

Jack: Thank you for the apology. I appreciate the sentiment. I just wish we could all move on to some semblance of civility, you know, rise above our baser instincts, refrain from the knee-jerk reactions. You — you think you could even do that? Honest answers only.

Phyllis: I mean, I’ll try not to let her get to me. Is that good enough?

Jack: That’s good enough for now.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, how about another iced coffee? It’s on me.

Jack: Well, if you’re buying.

Phyllis: [ Laughs ]

Nick: Hey, phyllis, it’s me. I picked up some of your favorites from the coffee house. I’m hoping we can have some lunch together. Call me back. Alright.

Sally: Phyllis isn’t free.

Nick: Excuse me?

Sally: Your girlfriend’s tied up at the moment.

Nick: And you know this how?

Sally: I just ran into her. She’s where she always is lately — with jack.

Kevin: You’ve been a little off since you spoke to lauren.

Chloe: Have I?

Kevin: Yeah, you didn’t order dessert.

Chloe: Yeah, I guess that is weird.

Kevin: What is it? Did she get into your head? Are you having some doubts about sally?

Chloe: I’m having a lot of doubts about a lot of people, including myself. I mean, what was I thinking? That I could stop sally from going to the dark side like I’m some paragon of virtue? And, I mean, look at chelsea. I mean, I love her, but, please, don’t even get me started on adam. I just — I mean, really, what was I thinking? That the three of us could be the positive, guiding forces in sally’s life? And with our combined rap sheets? I mean, come on, we’re like the legions of doom.

Kevin: Well, adam is a super villain, but you’re a different story. And you’re not giving yourself enough credit. Despite everything that’s happened in your past — and my own colorful history — look at us now — two upstanding citizens with thriving careers.

Chloe: We have come a long way, haven’t we?

Kevin: Most people — not named adam newman — are capable of change. And if you think sally is, then go with that. Also, screwing up in your personal life isn’t the same as screwing up at the office. And if she was good at her job at fenmore’s, she’ll be good at her job at newman media.

Chloe: You are so right. Professional lives and personal lives are totally separate entities. And sally even told that she was trying to forget seeking revenge on phyllis and that she was putting all of her energy into her work, and I really believe her.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Kevin: Rey needs my help. He’s got a lead on mariah.

Chloe: Oh, my god. Bring her home!

Kevin: Yeah, that’s the plan.

Chloe: [ Sighs ]

Abby: When rey gets his hands on that surveillance footage, we could find out all sorts of information.

Tessa: It’s definitely something to hold onto, but it makes the anticipation so much worse.

Sharon: We could be getting closer to finding mariah, but she still seems so far away. Would you mind if I went up to your and mariah’s room? I just — I want to be near her things and feel her close to me.

Tessa: I think that’s a wonderful idea.

Abby: You’ve been quiet.

Devon: Yeah. Hey, what do you make of stitch’s story about finding that old man buying those protein bars that mariah likes and having the same notepad that tessa bought her?

Abby: I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking. Wait, you don’t believe that ben’s telling the truth?

Victor: Sweetheart, what brings you by?

Victoria: I will give you one guess.

Victor: What, the locke/newman merger? I mean, that has certainly garnered a lot of press.

Victoria: I’m actually here about something more personal.

Victor: You’re upset about something. What is it?

Victoria: Did you start an investigation into ashland’s past?

Victor: Would that surprise you?

Victoria: [ Sighs ] Ashland has nothing to hide.

Victor: Well, I hope you’re right.

Victoria: You and I have gotten to a very good place, and I hope that doesn’t have to change. Dad, please leave this alone.

Mariah: [ Groaning ]

[ Breathing heavily ] Oh, god. Okay. Ohh. It’s over. Oh! Ohh.

[ Breathing heavily ] Hey! If these are real contractions, I need to be in a hospital. Okay? I need a doctor. Please, please help! Why are you doing this to us? Why would you do this to a pregnant woman and her unborn child?! Please! What are you going to do to us?! Oh, god.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Rey: Here’s the footage from the convenience store.

Kevin: Oh, I hope this is the break we need. We’ve got to find the son of a bitch who took mariah.

Rey: Allegedly took her. But, yeah, I want to nail the guy, too. Fortunately, we don’t have to go through all the video, since stitch narrowed it down to the time frame.

Kevin: And we know who we’re looking for — stitch. Once we find him on camera, we track his movement through the store and he’ll lead us straight to the man we’re after.

Abby: I don’t understand why you have doubts about ben. I mean, why would he make something like that up?

Devon: I’m not saying that he did.

Abby: But you’re suspicious?

Devon: Yeah, I am. It’s hard to explain. It’s just a feeling that I have. Doesn’t — doesn’t seem like it’s right.

Abby: I just — I can’t believe that anything strange is going on.

Devon: I know, and listen, the last thing I want to do is cause you even more stress right now, but I got to tell you how I’m feeling because I care about yoU. Alright? I think that we can all agree that stitch’s story is pretty coincidental, to say the least. And, you know, him showing up out of the blue like he did at this point in your life, it’s also a bit odd. And then he kept delaying his departure and showing up to see you, and then the man comes back to town without having a job. Why do you think he did that?

Abby: He said he wanted to check on me because of what’s going on with mariah.

Devon: Right. That’s another thing. I would say he’s gone out of his way to be a shoulder for you to lean on while your husband’s gone. And I just can’t help but wonder if he might be trying to get close to you or maybe even rekindle what you guys had by taking advantage of your pain and your fear right now.

Jake: Mmm.

[Chuckles] Isn’t it a little too early to be working?

Gabi: Not for philip. He’s already typing an email. I mean, of course I can see it, because I installed that keystroke software into his computer. Oh, my god, jake, he’s writing an email rig now to titan’s general counsel with the subject in all caps… “confidential.”

Jake: What does it say?

Gabi: “Dear kent, I need your advice on an extremely sensitive matter. It’s imperative that what I’m about to share remains strictly between us. The issue at hand is–”

Jake: Come on, dude! Suspense is killin’ me.

Gabi: He just stopped typing! Come on, philip, what is the issue at hand?

Kate: Okay, we need to talk.

Philip: I told my assistant I wasn’t to be disturbed.

Kate: Yes, well, I assume that doesn’t apply to your mother…who’s here to stop you from making a terrible mistake.

Chloe: Hey.

Brady: Hey, thanks for coming in so early.

Chloe: Oh, not a problem. What’s the emergency?

Brady: It’s not really an emergency, but, uh, the dimera jet is fueled up and it’s on the tarmac, it’s waiting for us.

Chloe: Why?

Brady: Because I’m whisking you away.

Rafe: Mmm. Good morning.

Ava: Morning.

Rafe: I hope I didn’t miss breakfast.

Ava: Coffee’s hot.

Rafe: Refill?

Ava: Nope. I’m good.

Rafe: Kay. I can set the table.

Ava: Oh… you meant you want… breakfast.

Rafe: Well, if it’s not too much trouble.

Ava: Oh, no, no trouble.

Rafe: You, uh…know how to make the italian eggs?

Ava: Yeah, I do. But I decided not to. In case you have plans with nicole.

Roman: We’re not open yet.

Nicole: I, uh, I came here to talk to you. I-I’m sorry it’s taken me so long. I haven’t been in the mood to see people. Roman…

[Sighs] I feel terrible that the party you hosted for me and eric turned out to be such a disaster. I truly am sorry.

Roman: You should be.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Rafe: Again…I am very sorry that I missed dinner the other night. I should have called you and let you know that I was stopping by nicole’S.

Ava: Yes, you should have.

Rafe: Yeah. But she’s your friend too… and she’s going through a really rough time right now, so i just–I assumed that you would be okay with it, that you wouldn’t want her to be alone.

Ava: I didn’t–which is why i offered to bring dinner over to her place, and you told me not to.

Rafe: Well, because she said that she didn’t want company.

Ava: [Huffs] Oh, so I’m company and you’re not?

Rafe: Okay, that–that is not what I meant.

Ava: Okay, then you know what? You better start explaining, because it sounds to me like you think that you’re the only person on the planet who can help nicole.

Rafe: Okay, she said that she didn’t want a lot of people around, okay? She’s depressed. I mean, the girl, she can barely get out of her own bed.

Ava: Poor baby!

Rafe: Oh, my– ava, come on. She’s hurting.

Ava: What–th-that surprises you?

Rafe: No, it doesn’t surprise me, it doesn’t surprise me at all, I mean, I-I would expect her to be depressed, considering the circumstances.

Ava: Yeah, the circumstances which sh– never mind.

Rafe: No, no, no. Go ahead. Finish what you were gonna say.

Ava: Nicole chose to cheat on her husband with xander. It is her own damn fault that her marriage is over.

Roman: Eric… came all the way back from africa to surprise you for your anniversary, only to find out, in public, that you slept with another man–a man you both hate. He was completely humiliated.

[Melancholy music]

Nicole: I made a terrible mistake that I will regret for the rest of my life. But I am not the only one to blame here.

Roman: Wait a minute–if you’re suggesting that eric is responsible here–

Nicole: No, I’m talking about sami. She wanted to blow up my life, so she had xander march in here and make that big announcement, and she didn’t give a damn how much she hurt her brother.

Chloe: So, you’re… whisking me away?

Brady: To new york. A new distributor called. He wants a face to face today.

Chloe: Oh! That’s great, uh, but why do I have to come along?

Brady: [Chuckling] Because you work for me–you’re part of the company. Besides, you’re gonna get to see your family–you’d get to see parker, your parents. I know you miss ’em.

Chloe: I-I do, but–

Brady: So let’s go to the kiriakis place and get your overnight bag, and we’ll get on the road.

Chloe: Brady, I’m not so sure about this.

Brady: What–I mean, you don’t wanna see your family or–

Chloe: No, of course I do, but I don’t–I don’t know if philip would approve of this, you know? You and I jetting off to new york together.

Philip: Is this about me dating chloe?

Kate: Oh, my god, no, it’s not about chloe. It’s about jake. Philip, you can’t bring him on board at titan. He’s an untrustworthy jerk who’s gonna work to undermine you and eventually stab you in the back.

Philip: I understand that you’re…cynical where jake is concerned.

[Kate sighs] But I do not fear that. His own family staged a coup to get rid of him, with you casting the deciding vote, I might add. So, no, I’m trusting that he’s still so angry that he’ll be all in with helping me and gabi crush dimera.

Kate: Oh…really? You do remember that I work for dimera, right?

Philip: We both know that you’ll be working just as hard to crush us. May the best company win.

Kate: You know, I’m really afraid that you’re becoming dangerously naive. I don’t think that you have completely thought out what it means for you to get in bed with gabi and jake.

Gabi: Why did he stop typing? Oh, come on, philip! W-what–

Jake: Maybe he got a phone call or something.

Gabi: I need to see that email. I mean, what if the issue at hand is that he’s in trouble again?

Jake: We don’t know that.

Gabi: But that’s very likely. I mean, think about it, jake. Not too long ago, philip was laundering mob money through titan to clear his gambling debts. What if… what if he’s doing that again, or maybe something worse, and scrambling to try to cover it up? What if this is exactly what we need to get him out of titan?

Jake: Okay, I hope you’re right, but you know what they say about a watched computer, right? Maybe… there’s something else we can do to pass the time.

Gabi: [Sighs] I can’t–I don’t wanna miss anything important.

Jake: Oh, come on, hey, you said this software records everything, right?

Gabi: Yes.

Jake: Okay, so how ’bout you take the computer… and you put it on the bedside table? Huh? And that way, if he starts typing again, you’ll see it.

Gabi: I–

Jake: And we won’t have to sit here staring at the damn screen all morning. How ’bout that?

Gabi: Well, that kinda works.

Jake: Yeah? Oh, but–but…no cameras, because given how you illegally hacked into philip’s computer, I’m not takin’ any chances. Huh?

Gabi: All right.

Jake: Okay.

Gabi: Take it off.

Jake: Oh, I’m gonna. There ya go. Hanger.

Gabi: Very wise.

Jake: Get over here. Before treating your chronic migraine,

Rafe: Pretty harsh way to talk about your friend.

Ava: Nicole is my friend, but it doesn’t change the fact that she broke her vows.

Rafe: Well, she didn’t deserve to have it broadcast at her anniversary party.

Ava: No, she didn’t, but cheating’s a risk, and she knew that eric might find out somehow.

Rafe: Okay. Fine. Can we just put this into context? You know, the night that this happened, nicole got a call from eric. He said that he was extending his stay africa again. She was devastated. She got drunk, she wasn’t thinking clearly, and then xander being the pig he is, took advantage of that.

Ava: Okay. So if somebody cheated on you, you’d just give ’em a pass.

Rafe: No.

Ava: So then how come she gets one?

Rafe: I’m– okay…I’m not saying that it’s okay. All I am saying is that i understand it. And the saddest part about this whole thing is that if we’d have been there for her, it would have never happened.

Ava: Oh, so now it’s our fault.

Rafe: No, of course it is not our fault, I’m just– I am just kicking myself for silencing my phone. I wish that I would have gotten nicole’s call.

Ava: Why? So you could have slept with her instead?

Rafe: [Small laugh]

Nicole: Xander didn’t just decide to tell the whole world about what happened between us. And if I know him, he didn’t do it for free.

Roman: Do you have proof that sami paid him off?

Nicole: No. But sami hounded me for weeks after she saw us walk into the salem inn together.

Roman: She was suspicious. So what?

Nicole: So–[Huffs] She was relentless. And she even told me she would do whatever it took to expose me. And–ask belle. She is convinced that sami set this whole thing up.

Roman: All right. Well, that is hard to hear. Pains to me hear that, uh…

[Sighs] Sami would hurt her brother like that.

Nicole: But not surprising to you, right? Ever since the day eric and i got married, sami has been on a mission to break us up.

Roman: You know what? Even if she was involved, you still cheated on my son. A wonderful, honorable man– the best.

Nicole: I know.

Roman: Yeah, well, if that’s true, and you know what a decent, kind, loving man your husband is, how in the hell could you hurt him like that?

Gabi: That was great, as usual. And now…

Jake: Oh, nice, glad I could distract you at least for a little bit.

Gabi: No, no, no, don’t be upset–I’m just trying to stick to the plan.

Jake: Ah, to, uh…take over the world?

Gabi: Damn right. Jake, I hate what your family did to you. Especially because you were doing such a good job. I’m gonna teach them that messing with us was the biggest mistake they could ever make. And when philip is gone, I’m gonna generate so much profit for titan–more than he could ever–when I take over.

Jake: Mmm. When we…take over.

Gabi: Right. Yes, of course, but you have to understand that the keystroke is not the only thing that’s gonna get us in, okay? You need to have a really good follow-up interview with philip, and he needs to hire you.

Jake: Right. I don’t wanna be late, so i better get in the shower.

Gabi: Kay. You know, maybe I can, uh, wash your back?

Jake: Mmm.

Gabi: And then I’m gonna give you some tips guaranteed to land you that job, okay?

Jake: Okay.

Gabi: Go, go.

Jake: Okay, I’m going. Here we go.

Gabi: Right after you.

Jake: Right after? Right before, right after…

Gabi: [Softly] Just go.

Philip: Gabi chic just had its best quarter ever. And gabi has repeatedly said that she thinks we have a terrific working relationship.

Kate: Well, of course she has.

Philip: [Scoffs] What is that supposed to mean?

Kate: What that means is that that is all part of her plan.

Philip: What plan?

Kate: [Sighs] Okay. First she lulls you into a false sense of security. She makes you feel that she’s content being your underling. And then she’s going to convince you that it would be a good idea to hire her boy toy because he would be so useful in helping you accomplish your mutual goals. And then they’re going to tell you that it’s one for all and all for one, and the whole time, they’re going to be working behind your back to bring you down.

Philip: Wow. Paranoid much?

Kate: Ohh, god, philip, you can’t underestimate gabi.

Philip: Don’t underestimate me. Look, I fully admit that when i started this job, I made some very stupid mistakes that put my family and this company at tremendous risk. So I promise you, there is no scenario where dad or I would allow titan to be run by a pair of dimeras.

> Kate: [Sighs] I know how much it means to you that your father gave you a second chance–I do. But you can’t be comfortable in that…because if he is ever convinced that there’s someone else who can do your job better than you do, he’d have you out in a heartbeat.

Philip: Trust me, I will keep my eyes on gabi and jake. But I’m the one using them, remember?

Kate: Okay. All right. So if…if it’s just information that you need about dimera, there’s better ways to get it.

Philip: From where?

Kate: From your girlfriend, chloe.

Brady: Why would philip have a problem with you taking a business trip?

Chloe: Well, as you may know, um, he’s a little bit sensitive about you and i spending time together.

Brady: I haven’t noticed. Of course I noticed–yeah. What’s he whining about now?

Chloe: Well, you remember eric and nicole’s anniversary party.

Brady: Mm. Was that that party where absolutely nothing happened whatsoever? Is that the one?

Chloe: Yeah, that’s the one. When you went after xander, i insisted on following you to make sure that things didn’t get ugly, and…

Brady: Mm-hmm.

Chloe: I left philip hanging at the pub by himself, and, you know, he just got worried about what you and I might do together alone.

Brady: Well, that would be philip’s problem…not ours. Your mission:

Philip: Pump chloe for information on dimera. I’d never use her like that. And she’d never betray nicole.

Kate: Ohh…well, then, just turn on the philip charm, and I’m sure she’ll tell you everything.

Philip: It’s not happening, mom–did I not just tell you that? Although…

Kate: Although…what?

Philip: It’s just… I did try to get chloe to jump ship…because I thought she would be an asset to titan. But she turned me down.

Kate: Okay. But did you really think she would be an asset to titan, or did you just wanna get her away from brady?

Philip: [Huffs] I lost her to brady once–I’m not gonna lose her again. And she assured me that I’m the one she wants to be with.

Kate: [Laughs] Well, jake assured me of the same thing, and look how that turned out.

Nicole: Forgive me, but I’M…I’m a little confused about your lack of understanding.

Roman: Why’s that?

Nicole: Well, I-I remember you telling me that it was wrong of eric to leave me alone for so long and that if he wasn’t careful, he could drive me into someone else’s arms.

Roman: Yeah, I did say that and, uh, eric shouldn’t have stayed away as long as he did. And I did feel that if another man came along–good man–and pursued you during that time that you were very lonely, that yeah, yeah, I could understand that you would be vulnerable. But we both know that is a far cry from what happened between you and xander.

Nicole: Of course. I’m sorry.

Roman: Yeah, well, I’m not the person you need to apologize to–you should have come clean with eric right away. If you had been honest from the very beginning, you could have spared all of us a lot of pain.

Rafe: I can’t believe you just said that.

Ava: Sorry. Just slipped out.

Rafe: Well, yeah, because you keep twisting everything that i say. When I said I’d wished I’d answered nicole’s call, it was so that she didn’t end up with xander.

Ava: If you had answered nicole’s call that night, you would have bailed on our date and very possibly would have ended up in bed with her.

Rafe: No, you know what, actually, I wouldn’t have. It never would have happened, because I am involved with you.

Ava: Never say never.

Rafe: Okay. You know, we have been over this–we have been over this so many damn times, and I have told you that I do not have feelings for nicole.

Ava: Yeah, and I didn’t believe you then either.

Rafe: Yeah? Okay. So obviously, we have a big problem.

Ava: Look… maybe it was wrong for me to suggest that you would have slept with nicole while she was still married.

Rafe: Mm-hmm.

Ava: Her marriage is over, kay? So now I think it’s important that you are just honest with me and yourself about who you really wanna be with.

Rafe: [Softly] Okay. For the umpteenth time, I do not have feelings for nicole. She is my friend.

Ava: The friend you dream about. The friend you drop everything for at a moment’s notice. The friend who always seems to be on your mind. It’s obvious you care very deeply for her.

Rafe: Mm-hmm. Yeah, I do. But that does not mean that i have the desire–

Ava: Oh, my god, stop, rafe! The hell you don’t! Will you just admit that you wanna sleep with nicole? We women are in the know about everything.

Gabi: Oh, I’m sorry. Looks like we interrupted a very personal conversation.

Rafe: It’s nothin’.

Gabi: Doesn’t sound like nothing–sounds like your girlfriend here thinks you wanna sleep with nicole. Did I get that right, ava?

Jake: So did we miss breakfast, or–

Both: Yes.

Gabi: Well, that’s a shame, because jake here has a very important business meeting, and he needs all his energy, so why don’t we sit down–

Jake: No, you know what, gabi, these’ll do, all right? And, uh, let’s go! I don’t like that kind.

Gabi: My apologies again for interrupting your chat, but i did try to warn you.

Rafe: So what exactly did she warn you about?

Ava: Your feelings for nicole.

Nicole: I tried to come clean with eric. I…I even wrote him an email confessing everything I did. But I just…I couldn’t bring myself to send it to him.

Roman: Damn it. God, I wish you had, nicole. If you had, you could have taken care of this in private. Eric wouldn’t have been humiliated in front of everybody he knows.

Nicole: The regret I feel over hurting him–it is killing me. And I hate myself for what i did, but there’s nothing I can do to change it.

Roman: No, there isn’T.

Nicole: Roman, before eric left, we did talk. And we had it out, and he acknowledged, just as you have, that it was wrong of him to put our life on hold.

Roman: So you do blame him.

Nicole: No, no! Never! I would never… but as far as our marriage falling apart… eric and I realized that it was inevitable. As much as we love each other, we’re just different people. People who… people who are better off apart.

[Sniffles]

Roman: You know what, nicole? That is a nice, nice little story. But you don’t get to put a nice little ribbon on this.

Nicole: I just wanted you to know that… we’ve parted peacefully.

Roman: Yeah, well, like i say, he’s a good man, very kind, very forgiving. But make no mistake–and I know this from first-hand experience– he will live with that pain, the pain you caused, because, uh…you need to know this, nicole. He never loved anyone… never loved anyone the way he loved you. So no matter what those parting words were that he said, truth is, he’ll never be the same. And there will be many, many moments in the coming years where he will think of you and that pain will still be there. That hurt will still be there. And he’ll say to himself, “damn. Maybe I just wasn’t good enough for her.”

Nicole: Once again, you’re right. I’m a terrible, terrible person. And I destroyed eric and i destroyed our marriage, and i deserve to live in misery for the rest of my life.

Philip: I’m sorry you were hurt…but you have to stop comparing my relationship with chloe with what happened between you and jake.

Kate: You’re my son. I’m never going to stop trying to protect you.

Philip: But I don’t need protection from chloe.

Kate: [Scoffs] She has hurt you so many times, and I am not gonna let that happen again.

Philip: Ah, here we go.

Kate: Really, what do you think–do you think that her feelings for brady are just going to magically disappear? They work with each other every single day.

Philip: But she comes home to me at night. And it’s great! We talk, we laugh. I can feel our connection getting deeper every day. It’s only a matter of time before she is really truly mine.

Kate: Okay. Whatever you say. Just don’t forget what I said about jake. If you hire him, you’ll regret it. I love you, philip.

Philip: I love you, too.

Kate: But I’m just looking out for you–you know that, right?

Philip: Yeah…I do.

Kate: Hm.

Chloe: Philip and I are in a relationship, and I need to take his feelings into account.

Brady: His pathetic, infantile feelings.

Chloe: Is it really pathetic and infantile to expect some respect and courtesy from the person you’re dating?

Brady: [Sighs] Since when is it discourteous and disrespectful to go on a business trip with your boss?

Chloe: Um, how about I go with nicole? She knows the client, right?

Brady: Chloe, she knows the client, but she doesn’t deal with him directly, and he’s expecting to see me.

Chloe: Okay, well, here’s another idea. You go with nicole.

Brady: Okay. Why are you fighting me on this? I thought you’d jump at the chance to see your family, i really did.

Chloe: Um, I guess I’m just kinda confused–at first you say it’s about business, but then you’re saying I can see my family, so…what difference does it make who goes if we make the meeting, unless…

Brady: Unless… unless what? Finish the sentence, please.

Chloe: Unless the reason you want me to go with you is because you want to spend some time with me…alone. Is that it? People everywhere living with type 2 diabetes

Brady: Why would I need to be alone with you? I’m alone with you all the time here at the office.

Chloe: Yeah, but this is work, and we’re surrounded by staff. An overnight trip to new york is kind of a different thing.

[Sighs]

[Phone rings]

Brady: Hey.

Nicole: Hey, brady, listen, I’m not gonna come into the office today. I-I’m really sorry.

Brady: Uh, no, that’s okay. That’s okay, nic, um…chloe and I got you covered.

Nicole: Thank you.

Brady: Sure. I-is…is there anything we can do to help?

Nicole: That’s really sweet of you, brady, but, um, i just…I really need some space right now, and actually, I think I’m gonna take the rest of the week off.

Brady: No, of course. And, uh, hey, I’m here if you need me. You know that, right?

Nicole: I do, brady. Thank you. Bye.

Gabi: Nicole. You okay?

Nicole: Um… no. And I’m not sure I ever will be.

Gabi: I’m sorry–I heard about what happened at your anniversary party.

Nicole: I’m the one who should be sorry. Because roman made it very clear that I am… the one who brought this hell on to myself and eric.

Gabi: I like roman, he’s family, but he can be a little judgey.

Nicole: But still, he thinks I’m a monster. And I’m sure the rest of this town does too.

Gabi: No, not everyone. Definitely not rafe.

Rafe: Since when do you listen to anything that gabi has to say?

Ava: Normally, I don’T. God knows she’s been nothing but hostile to me ever since I moved in here. But the other day, when she kept insisting that you had feelings for nicole, I kept saying what you keep saying… which is that you are just friends.

Rafe: Which is the truth.

Ava: Is it? Because your sister, who knows you better than anyone, seems to think that the only reason that you and nicole have not been romantic with each other is because she was married.

Rafe: [Small laugh]

Ava: She’s single now. So gabi thinks that maybe… maybe the two of you might decide to take it to the next level.

Rafe: That’s just gabi being gabi. And she’s playing mind games with you. I…can’t believe you fell for it.

Ava: So…hmph. Now I’m clueless and gullible.

[Door opens]

Jake: I can wait outside if you’re busy–your assistant told me to come in.

Philip: No, no, come in. Have a seat. I need to make a decision today about hiring you, so I thought we’d have a follow-up conversation.

Jake: All right, well, my sense is that the first round went pretty well, but I’m happy to clear up any questions or concerns you might have.

Philip: Only one. My mother was just here trying very hard to persuade me not to hire you.

Jake: Ah. For…very personal reasons, obviously.

Philip: Yes, but she has a valid point. She suggested that you were a trojan horse. In “the odyssey,” greek soldiers?

Jake: Yeah, I know what a trojan horse is.

Philip: Yeah, my mother thinks that gabi wants to get you in the door so that you two can team up and take me down. Is she right about that? Alice loves the scent of gain so much,

she wished there was a way to

make it last longer.

Jake: All due respect for your mom, I think she’s reaching. I hurt her, and now she’s trying to hurt me back as much as she can.

Philip: I agree that her perspective is clouded by your breakup. However, she is a very savvy businesswoman, so I can’t just dismiss her theory.

Jake: Fair enough. But I think there’s another reason kate doesn’t want me working here.

Philip: What is that?

Jake: Everything I know about the corporate world kate taught me. Turns out, I’m a much better student than she was anticipating.

Philip: Good enough to run dimera.

Jake: Yeah. They kicked me out, and now… I’m gonna destroy them. And I brought the skills, I got the knowledge and more motivation than you can possibly imagine. That is why kate doesn’t want m working here, and that is exactly why you should hire me.

Chloe: So nicole will be out for the rest of the week?

Brady: Yeah. I told her we’d cover for her. Feel bad for her. She’s really hurting.

Chloe: Maybe I should go find her.

Brady: No, wait, she said she wanted some space, and we should respect that. Course, that also means there’s no way she’s gonna be able to make that trip to new york.

Chloe: So now what?

Brady: I think you know what. There’s really no choice. You and I are gonna have to go together.

Nicole: Rafe is a wonderful friend, and he seems to always find a way to be there for me when I need him.

Gabi: I know what you mean.

Nicole: You know, the other night when he came over, I… I was a mess. And he was so understanding and supportive.

Gabi: Nicole, you know he hates seeing you in pain.

Nicole: Yeah. You know, after we talked, I-i told him he should go and he doesn’t need me blubbering all over him, but he stayed and he made me his macaroni and cheese.

Gabi: Oh, his signature dish.

Nicole: Yeah. He was very kind to stay and share his famous dish with me. But, um, you know, he could have been home, enjoying a wonderful meal that ava makes him. And I felt really guilty.

Gabi: Trust me, nicole, if my brother stayed with you, it’s because he wanted to.

Nicole: Well, like I said, he’s a wonderful friend, but he has his own life, and I’m not gonna get in the way of that.

Gabi: No, please. My brother lives to take care of the people he cares about. You know, I just left him right now at home, and I bet you are still on his mind. Actually, I feel like he–he would be really grateful if you went over there and leaned on him right now.

Nicole: Oh, I-I-I don’t know.

Gabi: Of course, yeah, you know what, it would save him a trip of coming to find you.

Nicole: O-okay, I mean, if you really think so.

Gabi: Of course I think so. Girl, get moving, yeah!

[Both chuckle]

Nicole: Thanks. Thanks, gabi.

Gabi: Yeah! Sure.

Rafe: I never said you were gullible. I just said you shouldn’t listen to a word that my sister says. She doesn’t like you, so she’s messing with you, ava.

Ava: Okay. I don’t like her either. She’s been trying everything she can to get me outta here since i moved in here. But maybe she’s speaking the truth.

Rafe: Ava.

Ava: Rafe, I have been watching… you and nicole for months. And it has been there the entire time… in the looks that you two share, in the moments that I have walked in on you. The other day when I showed up at nicole’s place, I was standing there in the doorway. I was watching you hold her in your arms, and you didn’t know that I was there.

Rafe: I was comforting her!

Ava: I am not questioning your character, rafe. You are the most honorable man that I have ever known. But because of that, you feel like you need to be obligated to stay with me.

Rafe: That is not true–

Ava: No, and it’s–

Rafe: For the last time, it is not true.

Ava: Okay. You can continue to say that, rafe, you can continue to deny it–you can tell me that I’m crazy and that gabi’s just yanking my chain, okay? But it’s not doing either of us any favors for you to continue to deny how you feel about nicole! Excuse me.

Rafe: Wh– I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Philip: I like your confidence, jake. But in my position, I can’t be too careful. I worked very hard to regain my father’s trust. So I can’t hire someone who plans to undermine me.

Jake: Hmm. What does your gut tell ya?

Philip: I was inclined to… give you a shot. But then my mom stopped by, so…

Jake: And raked me over the coals. I get it. Look, man, I appreciate your consideration, I really do, but if you are gonna put my stock in your mother’s opinions than your own instincts, we got nothin’ further to talk about. Thank you very much for your time.

[Uneasy music]

Brady: So I will tell the pilot that we’re on our way.

Chloe: Oh, hang on, uh, you didn’t answer my question. Why do you really wanna take this trip with me?

Gabi: I guess breakfast at home wasn’t very satisfying.

Ava: Go away.

Gabi: I get the funny feeling that’s exactly what my brother wants you to do, now that nicole’s oh so available.

[Knock on door]

[ Upbeat instrumental ]

Steffy: Sorry. Sorry. So sorry, okay.

Hope: Get stuck in traffic?

Steffy: Uh no, just uh, running late. I apologize.

Hope: Oh steffy, you have a lot going on. I appreciate you even being able to make this meeting.

Steffy: Yeah, I wish I could be more excited about going to san francisco.

Hope: Well, it must be hard to leave finn and the kids right now.

Steffy: You have no idea. I just keep imagining all the terrible things that could go wrong.

Finn: You want me to let sheila come in here to meet my son? You can’t be serious.

Jack: She won’t stay long.

Finn: Stay long? No. Dad. Absolutely not.

Jack: Just hear me out.

Finn: What you’re suggesting is crazy.

Jack: I don’t blame you for feeling that way. But I’m telling you, finn, it has to be done.

Sheila: It’s gonna happen. Today, I finally get to hold my grandson.

Quinn: This is nothing to be ashamed about.

Eric: But I am. I am ashamed. I’m ashamed that I let you believe you were the problem when there was so much else going on.

Quinn: Well, I mean, I thought you didn’t want me anymore, that you didn’t desire me–

Eric: But I do. I do. I did. But I was so ashamed and so embarrassed that I couldn’t want you and then not being able to do anything about it.

Quinn: It would have been okay.

Eric: I couldn’t talk to you about it. I couldn’t even say the words. Erectile dysfunction. It– it’s a joke! It’s a punch line! But it’s not! I can’t make love to my beautiful wife. I can’T.

Carter: Structuring the agreement this way protects us no matter what happens with the trade situation.

Ridge: You know what, man? We are very lucky to have your business mind.

Brooke: Somehow you always manage to close the deal.

Carter: Actually, there was one that uh… that just fell through and I’m not sure how you’re going to feel about it. I’m bringing it up because I want to prepare you. I imagine that when eric talks he’s gonna be very excited.

Ridge: Excited about what?

Carter: He called off the divorce from quinn.

Eric: I should have told you. I should have told you but I couldn’t talk about it!

Quinn: Oh eric. Come on, your life has been one crisis after another, after another for months. Starting with me and your family, I mean– that can affect anyone’s sex life. But we’re back together now and I’m sure, in time we’ll–

Eric: No, no, it’s not that simple. It’s not that simple!

Quinn: Are you sure?

Eric: Yes, I’m sure! It doesn’t matter how I feel. How much I want you, quinn. This isn’t going to change. You have to know that the man you came home to is not the man you married. I’m sorry!

Hope: You know, you’d think the kids would be the ones with the separation anxiety, but… nope.

[ Chuckling ]

Steffy: So, it’s not just me.

Hope: Absolutely not. I mean, it’s perfectly understandable that you would feel this way. It’s your first trip away from hayes. And you and finn, you’re still newlyweds.

Steffy: Okay when you put it that way I don’t even think I should be going on this trip.

[ Laughs ]

Hope: It will be fine. We’ll be back home tomorrow.

Steffy: I know this is a normal feeling but unfortunately, that’s not the only reason I’m nervous about going away.

Jack: Just give sheila this chance to meet hayes and you won’t have to worry about her anymore.

Finn: Dad, my in-laws are doing everything they can to make sure that will never happen.

Jack: I know– I know it seems like a risk–

Finn: Do you not understand how dangerous sheila is?

Jack: Yeah. I do. And I know I’m putting you in a difficult position but if you want to protect your family and keep sheila out of your lives, this is the way. Maybe the only way. Just give her this and she’ll be gone. Forever. I’ve lost count of how many asthma attacks I’ve had.

Brooke: Ugh, god. It had to be quinn. There’s no other way this could have happened. Eric wanted that divorce.

Ridge: That’s how I remember it. It’s got to be quinn, right?

Carter: I can assure you this is 100% eric’s decision.

Ridge: But how is it his decision? Has he seen quinn? She hasn’t been around the office!

Brooke: Has she been going over to his house? Has she been calling him?

Carter: No, no, I don’t think so. No.

Brooke: You’re his lawyer. Why would he have you draw up the papers if he wasn’t going to sign them?

Carter: He saw the papers and he started thinking about what he was doing and what he wanted.

Ridge: And what he wants now is quinn! Yeah?

Carter: I don’t blame you for being shocked. I was, too. And so was quinn. More than anyone.

Brooke: Oh my god, I don’t believe that for a second!

Carter: I was there when she saw her portrait. Her reaction was genuine. She was deeply moved.

Brooke: Yeah, because she was relieved. Her plan worked.

Carter: I’m telling you; this was eric’s decision. He’s fully committed to quinn, the marriage isn’t over and I hope you both can find a way to be happy for them, because I am.

[ Chuckles ]

Brooke: You are? You’re actually happy for them? You have no reservations about their reunion, whatsoever?

Quinn: This doesn’t change how I feel about you, the kind of man that you are.

Eric: It’s not what you expected.

[ Quinn chuckles ] It’s not what you expected when you decided to come home.

Quinn: I didn’t expect any of this. I thought our story was over. I didn’t even think I’d be welcome back in this house ever, even as a guest. But, you forgave me. That’s the kind of man that you are. Compassionate and understanding. It’s what drew me to you in the first place.

Eric: But we never had trouble in the bedroom.

Quinn: No, we didn’t until I screwed up. I broke promises to you–&

Eric: No, no, no, no. That’s not it. That’s not everything that happened. That’s what I want to tell you. Look, the reason I didn’t tell you how sexy you are and wonderful and how much I want you is because I couldn’t do anything about it–

Quinn: I understand–

Eric: And I’m afraid. I’m afraid. I’m afraid I’m never going to be able to again. …Oh god… oh, quinn. I’m sorry, I’m sorry.

Quinn: It’s okay, it’s okay.

Hope: It’s okay if you’d rather not talk about it.

Steffy: Well, I’ve never been good at avoiding the subject.

Hope: No. You take things head on. And I’m sure you’re handling sheila the same way.

Steffy: We’re trying to. But it definitely caught us off guard. We were ready to start our new life together. And now, finn and i have to protect our family from the most dangerous woman I’ve ever met.

[Ominous strings instrumental ]

[ Sheila sighs ]

Sheila: I want to look perfect today when I meet my family. I want little baby hayes to look up at me from my arms and just know that that’s the face of his grandmother.

Jack: Today is perfect. Steffy’s on a plane to san francisco. Kelly’s not here.

Finn: Kelly’s on a playdate. She’s gonna be gone all afternoon…

Jack: So, while you’re alone with hayes, sheila can stop by, hold her grandson and be gone before anyone’s the wiser. And then she’s out of our lives for good.

Finn: The forresters would be furious with us for even discussing this. There is no way I’m allowing sheila to come in here to see hayes. You can’t control what happens when they leave home,

Brooke: Eric ripped up the divorce papers and you’re not handling the case anymore, so you might as well tell us how you really feel.

Ridge: You’re closer to this than any of us.

Carter: Look, your father believes quinn is special. He sees a fascinating, beautiful, ambitious, accomplished woman and she brings excitement to his life. And he gives her a sense of stability and comfort. Look, when they were good together, they were very happy. So, if they get a second chance at that, then I wish them the best.

Brooke: Is that really what you’re hoping for? Because the way you’re talking about her… almost sounded like you were falling for her. Have you?

Eric: Look, I’m– I’m sorry. I didn’t realize how– how much I was pushing you away. And I pushed you away so far, that it drove you into the arms of another man… and I’m–

Quinn: I– I didn’t think you desired me anymore. I mean, every time I would reach out to you, I could feel you recoil.

Eric: You were reaching out for a connection, for– for touch– things that we all need.

Quinn: You know, there is more than one way to experience those things.

Eric: Yes, I know and– and… when I was looking at the divorce papers, I realized, “what am I doing? I love her. I don’t wan to divorce her.” And so I realized, I had to– I had to tell you– I had to tell you the truth.

Quinn: And I am so grateful that you did.

Eric: I’m the one who drove the wedge between us. I am!

Quinn: No, no, no, I don’t want to talk about who’s to blame anymore. You know, when you invited me to come back into this house, you said you wanted to move forward.

Eric: Yes, and I do. Quinn, I don’t want us to have to hide anything from each other. I don’t want us to hide things even if– I don’t want to keep any secrets, even things that we’re ashamed of. I want us to be completely honest and I want you to know I’m sorry. I’m so sorry.

Steffy: The pilot knows I’m on board.

Hope: I don’t know why we haven’t taken off yet but look, steffy, if there is anything I can do to make this trip easier for you, you just say let me know. I know you’re probably processing a lot right now, I mean, who could have imagined that sheila carter would turn out to be your husband’s birth mother?

[ Cellphone dinging ]

Jack: I already texted sheila. Told her to come over.

Finn: Dad, what you’re asking is out of the question.

Jack: No one will know.

Finn: You want me to do this thing and then lie about it? Dad, what has gotten into you? You know I can’t have sheila coming over here to see hayes. I won’t do it.

Jack: You have to.

Finn: Why? What’s going on? Why are you pushing for this?

Jack: Because so much is at stake, finn. More than you know.

Finn: What does that even mean? For who?

Jack: For all of us. Sheila’s unpredictable. You know, showing up on your wedding day, sneaking around the forrester house.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

scout… say hi to daddy. Ohh, I just — I hate waiting. Well, um, look at the bright side. Anna’s agreed to share information with us. And I appreciate that. So maybe we get this case file from the wsb. It gives us a place to start out. It’s been almost three years. You can’t imagine how many questions I have that I haven’t been able to get the answers to. You, uh, seem more convinced than ever that that person on the phone really was drew. Scout’s father is alive. I don’t know how to explain it. I just — I just know. Sonny: Can I help you? You alright? Looks like you saw a ghost. Hey. Hey. So, uh, the five families, they seem convinced for now. Okay. But that could change. And the novaks asking for a wedding invite was definitely a veiled threat. Not necessarily a bad idea. I say we invite all the families. That way, we can be sure they don’t try anything. Okay. Okay, but this means it can’t be some kind of courthouse wedding. Okay, so the wedding needs to be real and as public as it gets.

[ Elevator bell dings ] Ah, dr. Gatlin-holt — god, that name is a mouthful. Austin’s fine. Uh, austin, I need to speak with you — yeah. Whatever it is, I really can’t talk. Maybe we can do this later, okay? Thanks. Could we get a minute alone with chase? Of course. Think about what I said. Please.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] What’s going on? There’s something we’ve been keeping from you. I’m listening.

Peter: Well, this is most unfortunate. That’s one way of looking at it. A stranger lurking outside the bar is usually a red flag. Strange — strange. Y-you — you don’t know who I am. Should I? Maxie, hi. Brook lynn, hey.

Are you on speakerphone? I’m in my car. I wanted to give you a heads-up I’m coming home tonight. Uh — oh. Okay, don’t sound too excited. No. No, no, no. Of course, I’m — I’m really happy to see you. I just, um — are you sure you’re ready for this? It’s gonna be hard seeing lou–

[ Sighs ] Bailey. But nina made me realize I can’t stay away from my daughter forever. She did? Yeah. What if peter finds out? I have to protect my baby. Well, we have yuri. Brook lynn, peter killed the real nurse chloe and replaced her with an impostor. You really think yuri’s a match for him? You think you are? I have a better shot

than anyone else. Look, I’m going into deception right now. I will talk to you later.

[ Sighs ] Great. Scout? Don’t die on me, okay? What? Who are you? I’m a nurse. My name is chloe. You can say it, you know. Say what? You don’t believe that drew’s alive. You know what I do believe? What? That you have a right to those answers you were talking about. And I’ll go with you wherever, and I’ll do whatever it takes for you to get them. Thank you. You’re welcome.

[ Cellphone rings ] Ah, that’s rocco. Hey, buddy. What’s going on? Aw, they lost. Are you kidding me? Oh, in the — that sucks. Well, we’ll get ’em next time, I guess, huh? Yeah. Yeah, I’m coming home tonight. No, you can’t wait up. It’ll be too late. Well, I’m just, uh — I’m just helping a friend with something. Okay. I love you, too, pal. Good night. You okay? Yeah. It’s just, what you have with rocco… …scout doesn’t have that with drew. I’d ask if I should be sitting down, but… I’ve already got that covered, so… um… the first thing I want to say — and this is not an excuse. It’s just the truth. I never, ever wanted to hurt you. And it — it breaks my heart knowing how badly I’m about to break yours. Chase, I need to ask you for an annulment. And I know this must seem like it’s coming out of left field. Not really. No. I know you and michael are in love with each other.

I got to tell you, I wouldprefer wedding planning over this dinner I have planned with jax and josslyn. We’re supposed to be celebrating josslyn and cameron’s freshman year in college. Don’t get me wrong, I’m super excited. I would love to celebrate them. But after the stunt jax pulled — jax thinks that our marriage is gonna put josslyn at risk. When the exact opposite is the truth. Well, I get where he’s coming from. And I don’t want josslyn to be put in an awkward position. Jax is the one putting us in an awkward position. Josslyn is happy about you and me. It’s jax’s choices that’s making life harder on everybody. We’ve all made choices. And now we just — now we got to live with them. Dr. Westbourne, I just wanted to confirm I’m all set. I put in for a few vacation days starting tomorrow. Yeah, I saw that this morning. Kind of last-minute, don’t you think? I don’t think we can swing it. Um, but they’re my days to take. With reasonable notice, sure. Oh, come on. I’m sure you can find someone to cover. Normally, yes. But you were scheduled for a double. It’s a heavy lift. Petty until the end. I heard that! And it’s not petty. It’s —

[ Sighs ] Forget it. Chase: You can admit it, you know. You love michael. How did you — I-I didn’t think you knew. Which part? What? That you only married me because you thought I was gonna die, or that you and michael had sex on wiley’s birthday, or that you were lying to my face the entire time? Which part did you think I didn’t know, willow?! I am so sorry. Oh, god, don’t be sorry. No, no, just — just tell me. Why? After everything that we’ve been through… …why couldn’t you just be honest with me? Hi, nina, it’s brook lynn. Hey, brook lynn. How are you?

Uh, I’d be better if you hadn’t told maxie to come back to port charles. Every second that she’s here, she risks exposing our entire plan. I thought you understood that. I did — I do. I [Sighs] Listen. This is what you signed up for. Can you handle it?

[ Doorbell rings ]

[ Sighs ] Oh, I’m on it. I’m just pretty well-known in my… field, that’s all. And what field is that? I’m an author. Sinclair, peter sinclair. Hi, I’m mike. Good to know you… mike. So, the place is closed, huh? Yeah, the owner passed few days ago. I’m sorry to hear that. I’d heard some good things about it, was hoping to pop inside. Oh. What’s a hot-shot writer like you doing in nixon falls? Chloe: Man. They really did a number on you.

[ Grunts ] So you’re a nurse? That’s what they tell me. And you couldn’t find a better gig than this? Maybe a hospital or a clinic or something? I’m not here by choice. You didn’t think you were the only hostage, did you? Well, now I don’t feel special anymore. There. It’s not stitches, but it’ll do. Thank you. Look. Not that I don’t appreciate the company, but I haven’t seen a single person other than russel and the guards in over a year — keep your voice down. If they hear us talking like this, they’ll — they’ll what?

[ Woman screams ] They’ll do to us what they’re doing to our fellow prisoner.

S, I’m still at the hospital.Why does that surprise you? Work-life balance? No offense, but that seems a little hypocritical coming from the woman who worked 18-hour days for my whole childhood.

[ Sighs ] And I appreciate that. I promise I will take some time off soon. Good night, mother.

[ Sighs ] Good news! I spoke with terry, and she cleared me to take my vacation days. I don’t understand why I’m so jumpy. What, about the wedding? Yeah. I mean, there’s no reason for me to be nervous about marrying you, so why am I? Uh, well, because marriage is a big deal. And it’s okay to be nervous. Really? Are you nervous? No. You sure about that?

[ Sighs ] Even though it means what you had with britt is over? I mean, I hate that I hurt her. But we need to do this. It’s the situation that we’re in. And no, I’m not nervous about marrying you. And I understand that you are, but guess what? There’s good news, because I’ve seen you nervous about a lot of things in life. And you always find your way through. And you will again. We’re gonna be okay. Why are you here? I don’t think that’s any of your business. My family, my house, my business. Alright. I’m here because I need to see chase. Oh, I’m sure you do. He told me a little bit about your subterfuge, how you’re using him to weasel your way into the quartermaine pie. What the hell is wrong with you? Michael and I realized months ago we want a life together. I-I knew you deserved to hear the truth from me. I-I was there to tell you the night you first collapsed. And then you were so sick, and we all got so scared. And then you got better, thank god, but then you — you couldn’t walk. It was like every time we got over one hurdle another one appeared. You were going through so much. You can see that, right, chase? I mean, there was never a good time.

[ Chuckles ] You know, it almost makes me laugh how grateful I was to you for taking me in. “Oh, what a stand-up guy, that michael.” But you didn’t take me in because of close proximity to my wife. You wanted me healed up and out the door as fast as possible. Chase — yeah, you’re right. You’re right. I wanted you healed. I wanted you better, because I wanted this situation to stop, this lie to stop. There didn’t have to be a lie in the first place! Look, chase, I get it. I understand you’re furious. You have every right to be. Ohh. Thank you for giving me permission. But you know what? I find it ironic that you — that you’re — you’re wondering why willow couldn’t be honest with you when you couldn’t be honest with her! Look, sometimes, with the best intentions, you tell a lie. Because you truly think that it is the right thing to do. And I-I’d think you know that more than anyone. Was any of it real? I tried, chase. I really did. When the truth came out about you and sasha, I tried to get back what we had. To forget what I felt for michael. I just… I couldn’T. So you married me for all these reasons, but you couldn’t tell me. I get it. I hate it, but I get it. But then why would you turn around and sleep with michael?

[ Scoffs ] Or was it because you were sleeping with him all along? I had no idea there was anyone else here. She was just moved here the other day. Do you know from where? Wherever she was causing trouble, I guess. All they told me was that her accommodations were downgraded. And what did you do to end up in a place like this? I saw a job posting to be the private nurse of some pregnant woman. I was interviewed by the baby’s father, or a guy who said he was the father. And next thing you know, I was jumped. Worst interview ever. Pretty much. So you don’t know if he’s the same guy that’s holding us here. I haven’t seen him since I’ve been here, but I suppose that doesn’t mean anything. Alright, so whoever he is, I mean, using an unborn baby as bait? Sounds like a real prize, doesn’t he? You got kids? No. You? Yeah, little girl. And I’m damn well going home to her. I should get out of here.

[ Sighs ] Wait, wait, wait. You don’t have cuffs. Would be hard to do my job if I had them. That means that you can help us get out of here. You know, I’ve — I’ve tried to show scout pictures and tell her stories about drew before he — disappeared. Uh, disappeared. And she enjoys the stories. She really does. It’s just that she doesn’t know that he’s a real person, her father. You know what? The more I think about it, I hope that peter is found alive. Why? And please don’t say what I think you’re gonna say. Because after everything that he has done to drew, jason, and scout, I would like to kill him with my bare hands. Yeah. That’s it. That’s — that’s what I thought you were gonna say. Well, I came down with a bit of the wanderlust, so I… got rid of everything. Sold my apartment, my country home. Well, I hope you kept your car.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, the car, I kept it. I’ve been driving it up and down the countryside, searching for my new place in the world, a place away from it all, a new life. Sounds like you’re — you’re running from something. More like looking

for something. But in doing so, who knows? I might unexpectedly stumble upon something of much more value. I understand about wanting to find a new life. Do you? Yeah. Uh, it’s — it’s a long story. Uh, the bar’s closed. But you know what? Um, I can give you some water for the road. If it wouldn’t be of too much trouble. Oh, no, it’s not too much trouble. My, uh, girl– my friend is in there. I’ll — don’t worry about it. Nina? Hey. Well, you’re back soon. Did you even see phyllis? How’s she doing? Uh, yeah, I did. She — she’s, uh — she’s doing a lot better. Nina reeves. What a small world.

It’s not like I have free rein around here. I’m kept on a very short leash. They don’t trust me. Well, then we got to find a way to help them trust you. What’s that? This is russel’s pen. I was gonna use it to open the cuffs, attack the guards, but I doubt I would have got very far. Call them. The guards? Yeah, tell them you found this on me, that I was trying to escape. But they’ll beat you up again. Yeah, probably. But they’re not gonna kill me. How do you know? Because they would have done it two years ago if that was the plan. Look, I-I can take another beating, okay? Am I looking forward to it? No, but you should have seen what I went through when I was in training. Training? I’m a navy seal. Oh, my god. Don’t they use waterboarding and stuff like that? Yeah, and stuff like that. Look. Chloe? I can handle the pain. If you gain their trust, it’ll all be worth it. Hey, hey, I got it. Don’t worry about it. It’s been a long time, nina. You guys obviously know each other, right? It’s me, nina, peter sinclair. We ran in the same publishing circles? Of course. My apologies. It’s just, seeing you here is… very out of context. I know the feeling. And yet it seems you found yourself here and apparently found each other. Thank you. Thank you for saying that. I really needed to hear it. And you’re right. Everything’s okay. I’m gonna be okay. Mm-hmm.

[ Chuckling ] We’re gonna be okay. Alright. I guess I need to get started planning a wedding. Maxie? Hey. What are you doing here? I thought you were in texas. I was, but I wanted to come back to port charles, be with my friends, have my life back, also be nearby in case there was any news of louise. Well, welcome home. Thank you. I have to make a call. So, um, I’ll be right back. Hey. When, uh — when’d you get in? Uh, literally like right now.

[ Chuckles ] My parents are driving up with james and georgie. Family road trip, complete with stops at various county fairs. Mm. They’re loving it. I know myself, I’d be tearing my hair out, which is why I’m here. I wanted to check in with deception and see if I could get back to work. Y-you think you’re ready for that? Oh, no. Mnh-mnh. Well, listen, there’s no shame in — in taking some more time. This isn’t about shame. Okay, so it’s a little bit about shame. I’m horrified at how far I let things get with peter. I’m also embarrassed and disappointed. But most of all, I’m furious. He took so much from me, jason. And I can’t keep putting my life on hold just because he’s out there somewhere. Okay. We’re all set. I just got off the phone with the event planner at all saints chapel, and we are booked with the minister and the venue for september 17th. Wow. This engagement has really progressed since I left town. The wedding is happening? Yeah, it is. Excellent! When do I get started? Uh, what the hell is that? And good evening to you, too. You gave elizabeth the weekend off? Is that a bad thing? Uh, considering I told her no, yeah.

[ Sighs ] I was just trying to help out a friend. Sure. Completely undermining me in the process. I get that I’m reviled by the entire staff, but I’m trying to change that. Playing bad cop to your good cop makes it that much harder. Point taken. We are sharing a job, terry. Partners. At least that’s how you pitched it. And if we let people pit us against each other, this will never work. How dare you use what chase is going through for your own selfish reasons. I’m only trying to get what’s rightfully mine. No. If that was the case, you wouldn’t have involved chase. Look, I’m sorry that your dad had a crappy relationship with edward, that my great-grandfather cut him out. That’s exactly the point. Yeah. Yeah, I know. You think that edward was gonna change his will. And — and whether he was or he wasn’t, that’s your problem. To think that you would take this extremely painful situation and twist it so that it serves you so that y-you get what you want from it. If there was any question that you’re a quartermaine, there’s not now. And I don’t mean that as a compliment. No, I don’t suppose that you do. What a lousy way to be, austin. And what an even lousier way to introduce yourself to a family. Okay. Next time, I’ll bring a fruit basket. You know, there was a sliver of me that felt bad for you? And I was moved by your devotion to your dad. But now I clearly see this is all about the money. And I will be damned if I let you get a dime. It was just the one time after we were married. My intention was to honor our vows, chase. To be with you until you got better. But on wiley’s birthday, you just — you couldn’t help yourself? You had to sleep with him? Come on, chase, that’s not fair. You know what that day means to willow. I slept with michael because I love him. And in that moment, I needed him. You said you wanted honesty. Yeah, I do. So here it goes. I love you, chase. I always will. And it’s because of that love that I could not bring myself to hurt you. And that lack of strength and courage, that is 100% on me. I am in love with michael. And I’m in love with her, too. We want a life together. So, that first lie I told you, that broke us up and changed things between us… …turned out to be forever. Yes. Well, it doesn’t feel good to hear you say that, but at least you’re being honest. Now it’s my turn.

Chase, you’re walking? That’s so wonderful. Yeah, I thought so, too. Until I walked to the gatehouse the night that you and michael were there. Wait, hold on. You were at the gatehouse the night of wiley’s party? Yeah, I didn’t know what to do. And then austin had a suggestion. Austin? Yeah, I’m not really steady on my feet yet, so austin helped me walk to the gatehouse. He was there when I realized that my marriage to willow wasn’t really a marriage at all. When we got back, we saw you guys celebrating wiley like nothing had happened. W-why not confront us? Not at the party, obviously, but after? Austin gave me an idea that I should keep playing the role of a dutiful husband while I searched for this. What is that? Apparently, edward quartermaine wanted jimmy lee in his will after all. Austin: Your position is noted. I’d really like to speak to him myself. No. He’s busy at the moment. Okay. I’ll wait. I already know what he’s gonna say. Chase is a good guy. He’s got an even better heart. No matter how angry he is at michael and willow, he will not betray my family. Maybe. Maybe not. But the decision is up to chase himself. Terry: Biz, can i talk to you for a sec? Sure. What’s up? Dr. Westbourne told me she denied your vacation request. Okay. Why didn’t you make that clear when we spoke? I didn’t think it was a big deal. She was just being difficult, as usual. However you feel about her, she still has a job to do. Are you scolding me right now?

[ Sighs ] I’m saying you can’t come running to me whenever you don’t like the answer dr. Westbourne gives you. If she didn’t think she could get your shift covered, it was probably for a good reason.

[ Clears throat ] Actually, dr. Randolph, I just remembered nurse driscoll was looking to pick up some more work. She could probably fill in if I reached out to her. If that’s okay with you, of course. Sounds like a plan. Nixon falls is the best place to get away from it all. And what exactly is it you’re trying to get away from, mike? Oh, that’s a long story. Few months ago, I woke up… with no memory at all of who I was. Wow. That’s intense. And very complicated. Alright, I got to go, uh, to phyllis. I got to give her something. Phyllis? Yeah, she’s the owner of the tan-O. I told you her husband died a few days ago. My condolences. Mike, what does phyllis want? Just a photo album that I — oh, here it is. Um… so, I’m gonna go ahead and give this to, uh, phyllis. You gonna be alright with this guy? You have the venue, which is great. So now we need to talk flowers, deejay, dress, caterer. Oh, maxie, uh, you have so much going on right now, really. Which is exactly why I need the distraction. My life has completely imploded, you guys. Planning your wedding would be like a vacation, to be honest. And I never really acknowledged or apologized for the fact that peter took five years of your life, jason. Okay, look, whatever peter did to jason, he did far worse to you. Yeah, none of that is your fault. Okay, maybe not, but I still feel — I guess the word is “culpable,” for deluding myself about peter and ignoring everything he had already taken from you. So giving you carly’s dream wedding would be like my way of making amends. Please? Come on! I’m good at this! You know I am. And it’d be like you’re doing me a favor. Well, I mean, when you put it that way, how can we say no? Yes. This is your daily — hell, make it hourly — reminder that you have one month left of your parole. And murder, you know, it’s — it’s a crime in all 50 states, every single one. Oh, come on, relax. I’m not actually gonna murder him. I know. I might maim him. Eh… chop off a toe or two. I’m okay with that. You can do that. I’m kidding. I’m just venting to you. That’s good. That’s good. ‘Cause I’m a cop. I guess it is my job to track that bastard down and put him away all nice and legal-like. The sad thing is even if you do bring peter to justice, it won’t balance the scales. What exactly do you want me to do? It’s very simple. Just tell them that you found this on me when you were treating my wounds. It’ll make them trust you. But why do you trust me? Because you’re the first kind face I’ve seen in two years, and let’s be real, I really don’t have any other choice. You can do this. Guards?

[ Door opens ] What happened? I found this on him. I think he was trying to escape. Thanks for the intel. Take the nurse and go outside. That was a very stupid move.

I am so excited! Okay, just remember — classy, elegant, and understated. Please. Understated is my middle name. But understated can surprisingly be expensive. Budget? Whatever. Oh, my god. Are you sure? Yeah, I’m sure.

[ Gasps ] Buckle up, port charles. This is gonna be the wedding of the century.

[ Chuckles ] Everything’s fine. You sure? Yeah, I’ll see you when you get back, okay? I’m sure. You just tell phyllis that…I love her. Yeah, yeah, I will. Alright. If I don’t see you again, it’s good to meet you. Great to meet you, too, mike.

[ Door closes ] Nina, nina, nina. Of all the gin joints in all the world. What have you gotten yourself into now? I think the prisoner got the message. Good work.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Panting ] Don’t worry, scout. Daddy’s coming home to you. Peter cost drew and our daughter three years. That’s time we’re never gonna get back. Well, at least drew has the luxury of knowing that that was peter’s fault. That’s a luxury? Yeah. That time was taken away from drew and scout. The time I lost with rocco was a result of my actions. No, stop. You’re being way too hard on yourself. No, no, no, I’m not. That — that that guilt choked me, as you know, for a long time. But little by little, I realized that that — that time is gone. I can’t get that back. I can’t get that back for me or for rocco. So my only shot at redemption is to do whatever I can do now and moving forward so I can be present for rocco. I’m gonna love him, I’m gonna guide him, and I’m gonna be an example for him.

[ Chuckles ] Sorry. I just — I wish drew could do the same thing for scout. I, um, appreciate you making it work. It’ll mean a lot to violet and my boys. Get some rest. We’re going camping. It’s literally the opposite of restful. Ugh. Well, have fun, then? Thank you.

[ Sighs ] Thank you for what you said to elizabeth. Well, hey, when you’re right, you’re right. We have to stick up for each other professionally. Oh, and personally? Oh, personally — I can’t stand you.

[ Both laugh ] But who knows? Maybe that’ll change. Stranger things have happened. Partners? Partners.

[ Laughs ] This is a letter from edward’s lawyer reviewing the changes he requested in the will. One of those changes was that jimmy lee holt be included. His intentions are clear. You’re not [Clears throat] Seriously considering giving that to austin, are you? Chase, please. Don’t do this. What chase does or doesn’t do is up to chase. It’s his decision to make. I think you’re gonna be disappointed, but you’re right. It’s up to him. So let’s find out. Chase, you have a visitor. Hi. Please forgive me. I didn’t mean to interrupt. I’m just here to pick up the proof that edward quartermaine wanted my father in his will.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Faith: Only a couple more weeks before school starts.

Sharon: Is that excitement i hear in your voice about going back to school?

Faith: I know that I should be dreading the end of summer vacation, but this year already feels so much better than the last.

Sharon: It’s good to hear.

Faith: Having a friend like moses in my corner really helps, and I just feel like I’m able to deal with things better, you know?

Sharon: Like the bullies? Have you thought about what will happen if they start up again?

Faith: I can deal with them this time. I feel more mature and safe. Does that sound crazy?

Sharon: No, not at all.

Faith: Mom, are you okay?

Sharon: Yeah, I’m — I’m just happy that you’re in a good place.

Faith: I am planning to stay there. But right now, I’ve got to go meet moses. Oh! Mom, one more thing. Have you heard from mariah lately? I know you said she was taking time for herself, but she barely responds to my texts.

Sharon: She just needed a break. I’m sure she’ll be home soon. I don’t know how much longer i can keep this up.

Abby: I understand. I will stand by my phone. Okay, thanks.

Stitch: That didn’t sound like good news. Was that rey?

Abby: No, it was my dad, actually. He said his security has no new leads. Rey checked in earlier with pretty much the same news.

Stitch: I can see how hard this is on you.

Abby: But thank you for checking in, but we need to be concerned with mariah. We don’t even know what kind of condition that she’s in. We don’t know if they’re taking good care of her, whoever “they” are. We don’t know if she’s getting the nutritious food that she and the baby need to stay strong and healthy. And if something goes wrong, we don’t know if they’re gonna get the help that they need.

Mariah: [ Exhales sharply ] Ah. Huh! Oh. I’m sorry for all the bouncing around, bowie, but we need to keep in shape. Because if that door opens even a crack, I am bolting out of here so fast they’ll never see me coming.

Nate: Hey, what’s going on? Is moses around?

Devon: He’s upstairs, probably gonna be taking off soon, though.

Nate: Okay. I just wanted to touch base with him again after our last conversation.

Devon: Shoot, man, he really switched things up on us, didn’t he?

Nate: Yeah. Got to admit, part of me is a little disappointed he’s not going into medicine. I was really looking forward to dropping some gems on him, but his life, his career.

Devon: Yeah, man, you know, he’s — at the end of the day, he’s got to do what makes him happy.

Nate: True, true. I’m just glad he’s focused on something else. Plus, he’s got another great mentor to guide him.

Devon: [ Chuckles ] You think I’m up to it?

Nate: I do. Moses losing his father, you know, was hard on him, but he’s becoming a young man right before our very eyes. A lot of that’s thanks to you.

Devon: I appreciate that, man. Same to you. Really. And sofia’s done her part well. Should give her a call and have her come out here and visit.

Moses: Whoa, now, please don’t ask my mom to come out here.

Devon: Why not?

Moses: Because then she’d want to take me back to new york with her.

Traci: Okay, I’ve told you all about new york. It’s your turn. How did it go in milan? What happened?

Jack: I can barely describe how happy kyle was to see his son.

Traci: And summer? How is she handling everything?

Jack: Summer seemed really excited to start her new life with harrison. I got the impression she was looking forward to being his stepmom. Yeah, the feeling was I was seeing the beginning of something very special.

Traci: Oh, and what a beautiful little family they will make.

Jack: Yeah, and to my surprise, ashland didn’t put up that much of a fight. I think he really thought things through and realized this is what’s best for harrison. And I respect that a lot. I think it’s gonna be hard for ashland with that little boy so far away.

Traci: I have a feeling that ashland isn’t the only one who’s gonna find this difficult.

Jack: Yeah, given the circumstances, it’s gonna be perhaps more difficult for tara.

Traci: No, I was talking about you, jack. Look, I know that you have tried to paint harrison’s move to italy in the very best possible light, but I can see that you’re missing him already. I have a feeling that ashland isn’t the only one who’s made some sacrifices.

Billy: Why would I try and keep anything from you? You see through me better than anyone.

Lily: Okay, so maybe one day you’ll stop trying.

Billy: Look, I am trying to find out anything I can on ashland, anything to make victoria second-guess this decision to marry ashland because i think it’s a mistake for her and for johnny and katie, and I’m in a position to do something about it.

Lily: Billy, come on.

Billy: Come on, I know you don’t like it when I speak that way, but that’s just the way it is. If I can find something, anything, to make it a deal-breaker for victoria, that would be good.

Lily: And you’re okay with doing that, even though you reassured her that you fine with her marrying ashland.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Well, if I don’t find anything, then she doesn’t know I’m looking, so no harm, no foul.

Lily: And if you do find something?

Billy: Then she could be angry, or she could be relieved that she and the kids dodged a bullet, which, in that case, she would be in my debt forever.

Lily: [ Scoffs ] Oh, yeah. Dream on. I just heard something amazing!

Moses: I hate to admit it, but I’ve dodged a couple of calls from my mom the past few days.

Devon: And why have you done that?

Moses: Because when I talk to her, I’m gonna have to explain why I’m no longer interested in doing a career in medicine.

Nate: Okay, don’t you think she’ll understand?

Moses: Medicine was the whole point in me moving to genoa city in the first place. I mean, I was supposed to learn everything I could from you to become a doctor.

Nate: What are you afraid of, that she’ll pull the plug on you living here?

Moses: Before, there was a reason for it.

Devon: There still is a reason for it. I’m gonna be able to share with you everything I know about the music industry.

Moses: I don’t think that’s gonna be enough to sell my mom on it. I mean, she was so excited by the fact of me becoming a doctor. And don’t take this the wrong way, but to her, there is a big difference from becoming a doctor versus getting a job in the entertainment industry.

Devon: I understand that, for sure, but it’s still a job that requires hard work and dedication. And it shouldn’t be about how difficult the job is, it’s about what you’re passionate for. I’d be more than happy to have a conversation with your mom if you want me to.

Moses: Really?

Devon: Yeah, really. I’ve been in your shoes before. Neil hated the fact that i wanted to get into music. He wanted me to stay doing business.

Moses: So, what’d you do?

Devon: I worked really hard and I showed him that I was serious about it, and then he eventually came around.

Moses: Cool. And you’re really okay with talking to my mom about this?

Devon: Absolutely, yeah.

Nate: We know how much you want to stay here. For all sorts of reasons.

Devon: [ Chuckles ]

Moses: Here we go.

Devon: Yes, like faith newman reasons, huh?

[ Laughs ] No, but listen, this call to your mom comes with strings.

Moses: Okay. Let me have it.

Devon: You’re gonna have to follow up and own this decision and let her know that you’re excited about it, too.

Moses: Yeah.

Devon: Got it?

Moses: Yeah, definitely.

Nate: Well, okay. Now that we’ve got that settled, I’d better get going.

Devon: Yeah, you too famous to hang out with the little people in your life these days?

Moses: Yeah, nate, doesn’t seem like you have much time for us anymore, now that you’re the man.

Nate: Oh, yeah. Wrong. I’ll be around so much you’ll get sick of me. But this isn’t about the new job. It’s about filling a gap that just opened.

Devon: Alright. We’ll see you.

Moses: Okay.

[ Chuckles ]

Abby: [ Sighs ] It’s tough waking up feeling just as helpless as I did when i went to bed last night.

Stitch: Abby, you can’t let this thing get to you. You got to stay positive.

Abby: Well, I’m trying. And I keep praying that I’m gonna get some phone call from devon or rey or my dad saying that there’s been some lead that’s gonna bring mariah and the baby home, but, no, everyone just keeps hitting dead ends.

Stitch: With all the people looking for her, something’s bound to turn up.

Abby: I just really hope that mariah knows how much I care about her.

Stitch: Of course she does. Why would she think otherwise?

Abby: Because she’s somewhere, and she’s probably feeling helpless and she’s definitely feeling alone and maybe she feels like I abandoned her.

Stitch: Abby, that is your guilt talking. No one’s more in her corner than you are.

Abby: Oh, they’re mariah’s favorites. I always keep extras in my purse.

Stitch: I’ve seen these before.

Abby: They’re recommended by her doctor, so maybe you saw them at the hospital you worked at?

Stitch: No, it was around here. I think I might have a lead.

Sharon: Maybe I should have leveled with faith about mariah. The two of them are so close, it just doesn’t feel right to keep her out of the loop.

Rey: Come on, sharon, we talked about this before, and you said you didn’t want to worry her without being able to give her something positive, like a reason to believe that mariah’s gonna be okay, coming home soon.

Sharon: You’re right.

[ Cellphone rings ] Hey. Have you guys heard anything?

Abby: Are you with rey?

Sharon: Yes.

Abby: The two of you should come to the house immediately. (Vo) nature…

Amanda: Hey. You okay?

Elena: Yeah, yeah, just taking a minute to regroup.

Amanda: Well, you’re still in your scrubs. I hope that coffee’s not just a pick-me-up before your next shift. No offense, but you look exhausted.

Elena: Actually, it’s the opposite. I just got off of my shift, and this is chamomile tea. I am exhausted, but I’m also wired, so I’m trying to decompress and rest since I have to be back at it in less than eight hours.

Amanda: Oh, wow. Sounds like a tough week.

Elena: Yeah. Actually, they’ve all been tough lately.

[ Chuckles ] I’ve been picking up extra shifts, so it’s really hard to find a rhythm. I don’t know why my name keeps ending up at the top of the assignment list.

Amanda: Well, nate did tell me how much the other surgeons love having you scrub in to assist. He said that you have the best bedside manner on the staff and pretty much irreplaceable to them.

Elena: Well, trust me, I am no wonder woman, but, yeah, i think everyone is pretty happy with my work. Which is why I still can’t seem to get a break.

[ Chuckles ]

Amanda: Well, there’s only one way to fix that problem.

Elena: Yeah, what?

Amanda: You need to commit yourself to being horrible at your job. Make sure that no one wants you around.

Elena: [ Laughs ] You’re funny.

Amanda: But I’m pretty sure that we can agree that you can’t do that. So I think you may have to resign yourself to a permanent state of near exhaustion.

Elena: Ugh. You sure know how to cheer a girl up.

Amanda: I try.

Elena: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: You are very perceptive as ever. That’s what makes you such a good writer.

Traci: Well, I am very sorry that you are missing harrison, but I might be able to offer some distraction.

Jack: Oh, what have you got?

Traci: It’s flattering that you think I’m very talented, but every writer needs constructive criticism. How would you like to take a look at what I’m working on?

Jack: What’s it about?

Traci: It is a fictional account of dina’s early days in high society paris. Od read.

Traci: Well, we’ll see. So you can just maybe do the first four or five pages. You know, if I haven’t got a reader by then, I better go back to the drawing board to start over.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, five pages is my max, and then I got to get back to work, you know?

Traci: Oh, of course. I’ll take what I can get.

Jack: Okay.

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

Jack: [ Laughs ]

Traci: Jack? Oh! I’m so sorry to interrupt. You’re gonna have to put it down long enough to take me out to lunch.

Jack: Wait, when did you change clothes?

Traci: I guess you got a little carried away, you know, on pages four and five.

Jack: Yeah, yeah, I, uh — i guess I did. Your book is terrific. It’s fun, it’s exciting, it’s — it’s just the kind of spirit-lifter I needed, and… how did you know?

Traci: I know you. And I thank my lucky stars for that every single day.

[ Laughs ]

Moses: Hey.

Faith: What are you listening to?

Moses: Oh, tigirlily, of course.

Faith: I still can’t believe we got to hang out with them.

Moses: Yeah. What’s in the bag?

Faith: A test. Well, more like a pop quiz.

Moses: For who, me?

Faith: That would be yes. Tuesday, may 4th — what happened on that day?

Moses: Uh…that has to be right around the time you were in the hospital.

Faith: You’re getting warm.

Moses: Okay, so it was one of the first few days I was volunteering with nate. Oh, I know, we were playing chess.

Faith: Ding, ding, ding! Correct.

Moses: What is this pop quiz all about?

Faith: Well, I don’t know if you remember, but we recently shared a kiss.

Moses: Trust me, there’s no way I forgot about that.

Faith: Well, just to let you know, I don’t kiss just anyone. They have to be someone I really care about and he has to care about me enough to remember important times that we shared together.

Moses: Down to the exact date?

Faith: Yep.

Moses: Okay. Well, I guess I have no choice, then.

Faith: I promise it’ll be a fun walk down memory lane.

Moses: But what if I’m not good at dates? What if I fail? What, that’s it? We’re over before we even begin?

Faith: No pressure, right?

Nate: Hey.

Lily: Hey.

Nate: Got a minute?

Lily: For you, always. That’s so funny. You must’ve read my mind, ’cause I was just about to call you.

Nate: Oh, about what?

Lily: Well, the data just came in on askmdnow’s performance metrics, and I think you will be very pleased with the numbers.

Nate: I’ll be happy to take a look, but I think it’s gonna be a little bittersweet.

Lily: What do you mean? You like working on the site, right? I mean, the data shows that you’re a huge hit.

Nate: Honestly, I love being the resident expert, but the problem is I’ve been promoted at the hospital. I’m the new chief of surgery.

Lily: What? Nate, that’s amazing. Congratulations.

Nate: Thank you. It’s something I’ve always wanted, and I’m ready to take on the responsibilities. But I know I’m gonna be on overload, so that’s why I’m here today — to help you find my replacement.

Jack: I couldn’t put it down. It is the very definition of a page-turner. I was sucked right in from page one.

Traci: Well, I may have gotten a little carried away, you know, imagining what it might have been like to be dina when she was young and wild.

Jack: Absolutely captured her spirit. I’m telling you, this is going to be another best-seller for you as soon as it hits the stands.

Billy: Hey, you two. Hi, traci.

Traci: Billy, honey, hi! It’s so great to see you, too.

Jack: Our sister is working on her latest novel. I just got a sneak peek, and let me tell you —

Traci: Oh, stop, jack. I’m gonna have to rope billy into reading it, too, just like I did with you.

Billy: I would love to, just not today. I got a busy day. After a full day of work, we have a game night with the kids. Trying to keep them busy while they’re staying with us.

Traci: Well, that sounds like a lot of fun.

Billy: Yeah.

Traci: I see an old friend of mine. I’m gonna go say hello for just a second, okay?

Billy: Sure.

Traci: Be right back. Excuse me.

Billy: Ah.

Jack: So, are you and lily still pursuing a story about tara locke’s arrest?

Billy: Come on, we told you that we can’t ignore a story of this magnitude simply because it involves our family. But I will say that we are working on another story altogether, more specifically about ashland. We’re doing a deep dive into his life and seeing if there’s anything we haven’t uncovered yet.

Jack: Oh, good, that will end well.

Abby: Hey, thanks for coming right over.

Rey: Hey.

Abby: Ben, start from the beginning. They need to hear this.

Stitch: Okay, this could be nothing at all, but abby pulled this protein bar out of her purse, and it jogged my memory. The last time I was leaving town to go back to iowa, I stopped in this little convenience store. While I was shopping, I remember a guy buying these same bars — the ones that abby says were mariah’s favorite protein snack.

Abby: They’re specifically marketed to expectant mothers.

Stitch: Guy was buying a whole bunch of them, like he was stocking up for the long haul.

Rey: Okay, um, not sure how that adds up to an actual lead.

Abby: Go on, finish telling them what you told me.

Stitch: Okay, well, I only remembered the encounter because it struck me kind of strange. I thought maybe he was buying them for his pregnant wife, but this guy, he was a much older man. He sure wasn’t giving off an expectant dad vibe to me.

Rey: Do you remember what he looked like?

Stitch: He had gray hair, average height. I think he was wearing a button-down.

Abby: Stitch didn’t realize that there could be a connection to mariah until today.

Sharon: Do you think that man was buying those bars for mariah?

Abby: It’s possible, right?

Find your rhythm.

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Faith: Okay, last one. Get this one wrong, and all the other right answers get thrown out.

Moses: What? No fair.

Faith: It’s my pop quiz. I make the rules. August 6th.

Moses: Uh…that one’s not ringing any bells. All I can think of is that was, like, a few days after the concert.

Faith: Nothing? No idea?

Moses: Well, give me a hint.

Faith: I already gave you a hint — august 6th.

Moses: Thanks.

Faith: Give up?

Moses: Yeah. Tell me.

Faith: It was the day that you gave me the pressed vinyl copy of the concert.

Moses: No fair. I feel like I’m losing on a technicality.

Faith: Technicality or not, you still didn’t know the answer.

Moses: Wait, faith. Hold on. Here’s what you need to know. I like you, faith, a lot. I’ve let you set all the rules. I’ve tried not to pressure you, but it’s been impossible pretending like I was okay with just being friends. No, I want to hang out, go places together, and just be with you. That’s what I want, not what i expect. But the thing is, I mean, you gave me this feeling all the way back on may 4th when we were playing chess together, and i can’t seem to let it go.

Faith: There was something so special about the vinyl record that you gave me that day. The note from kendra and krista that told me that I needed to hang on to you because you’re a keeper. And I agree. ‘Cause this last year, everything seemed to go wrong, but then everything went right for me in a way, too. Because I’m still here and I’m healthy. And you stuck by me through it all. And all of those things that you say that you want to do, I want to do them, too.

Moses: So does that mean i pass?

Lily: Oh, man, well, I guess it would be pointless to try to change your mind. I mean, a job this important with this kind of responsibility definitely should take priority.

Nate: Well, I’m glad you understand.

Lily: Yeah, and I’m so proud of you, honestly. I’ve always wanted this kind of success for you, even if I have to swallow my own disappointment.

Nate: Hey. [ Chuckles ] If I thought I could make it work, I would, but after going over it and over it in my head, I realize I needed to give you my notice.

Lily: I know. I understand. There’s no hard feelings.

Nate: Listen, I know you’re committed to keeping askmdnow going with or without me. It’s helping so many people, and I’m just a small part of it.

Lily: No, I mean, the hard part is gonna be finding someone to replace you, ’cause, you know, you’re a tough act to follow. You got the brilliance and the good looks in one package.

Nate: Thank you. But I think I know someone who has all that and more. Mind if I throw out a name?

Lily: No, please do.

Nate: Okay, now, you don’t have to make this decision right away. Just think about it. But I think this person would be an amazing choice.

Lily: Okay.

Nate: Elena.

Lily: Oh. Yeah, that’s actually an interesting suggestion.

Amanda: Well, I hope that did the trick.

Elena: [ Sighs ] You know? It didn’T.

[ Both laugh ] I’m still exhausted and wired.

Amanda: I really think you’re just worn out.

Elena: Yeah, yeah. But I better stop stalling. I need to get back upstairs and force myself to go to sleep before my shift.

Amanda: Are you sure that there’s no one at the hospital who can lighten your workload?

Elena: No, I’m fine. I’ll probably just suck it up and hope that my schedule gets better.

Amanda: As long as you don’t pass out from exhaustion first.

Elena: Oh, I was probably just over-exaggerating. Really, I’m fine. See you.

Amanda: Yeah.

Rey: Look, I know we need a lead right now, but I got to say, this feels a little thin. Just because the man that stitch saw was an older man doesn’t mean he wasn’t a father-to-be or maybe a grandfather-to-be.

Tessa: I thought the same thing.

Sharon: Stitch, do you remember anything else about that encounter?

Stitch: Like I said, I wasn’t looking for a criminal that day, so I didn’t commit much of it to memory. The guy just stuck out to me. That’s pretty much all i remember.

Abby: Please, any memory from that day might help.

Stitch: [ Sighs ] The only other thing I remember was the shopping list the guy had. He dropped it, I picked it up, and handed it to him.

Rey: Okay, was there something else on that list that seemed significant?

Stitch: [ Sighs ] I didn’t pay much attention to it. All I remember was the notepaper itself. It had these little storks on it and they were carrying babies in their pouches.

[ Chuckles ] Sorry, I know that doesn’t mean anything.

Tessa: Was it yellow?

Stitch: Yeah. Yeah, I think it was. Why?

Tessa: I gave one just like that to mariah. She keeps it in her purse and takes it everywhere. Counting your veggies can be hard.

Moses: So I’ll take that smile on your face to mean I got an a-plus on your little quiz.

Faith: [ Chuckles ] I don’t know about that “plus” thing. You did miss one question, remember?

Moses: Okay, okay. How about I make you a deal? I’ll throw out a date, and if you get it right, we both get a’S. Cool?

Faith: I’m game.

Moses: August 13th.

Faith: Oh, that’s easy. I remember that date by heart. How could I ever forget our first kiss?

Moses: Yeah. And I bet your dad won’t forget either. He seemed real curious about what was going on between us.

Faith: At least we both know now.

Moses: You know what I want to do?

Faith: Tell me.

Moses: How about we go on a real date? I mean, the concert was cool, but it wasn’t an actual date. I could plan something special, pull it all together, and surprise you.

Faith: I would love that. I can’t wait. [ Chuckles ]

Billy: Oh, come on, jack. What’s wrong with a little investigation? Ashland locke is a self-made man. The question is, how did he make himself? My intuition is telling me that it’s not a very pretty story, so I’ll examine his life a little bit.

Jack: Oh, billy.

Billy: Hi, welcome back.

Traci: Oh, thank you. What did I miss?

Jack: Oh, not much. Our little brother here is out digging up dirt on ashland locke, a man famous for destroying anyone who crosses him.

Traci: Really? Why?

Billy: Oh, it’s okay. Just relax. Ashland locke is a big boy. He can handle whatever we throw at him.

Jack: I was a little more concerned about how this might affect victoria — you know, the mother of your children.

Billy: Yes, and I understand your concern, but let’s look at the upside here. Maybe we uncover something that makes victoria second-guess this mistake she’s about to make. Hey, maybe she even thanks me.

Traci: Billy, do you — do you really believe that? I mean, how would you feel if someone were slinging mud at lily?

Billy: Oh, you can’t compare the two. Lily’s an open book. She’s got nothing to hide.

Jack: I have a question. This mistake you’re worried victoria’s about to make, is this marrying someone with a terminal illness or marrying someone like ashland locke?

Billy: Can’t it be both? Excuse me, my food is ready. Good to see you.

Traci: Mm.

Billy: Thanks, jack.

Tessa: I can’t fight the feeling that this is significant.

Abby: The same notepad, the same protein bars that mariah likes. It can’t just be a coincidence. There’s got to be something there.

Rey: Alright, alright. Stitch, I need you to dig deep now. Any little thing. Doesn’t matter if you don’t think it’s important. The smallest detail could be significant. Alright, go back through your mind over everything that happened, step by step.

Stitch: I’ll do my best.

Rey: And I’m gonna need the name and the location of the store and the time and date you were there and anything that you can conjure up about this man that you saw. Maybe we’ll get lucky and the convenience store has some security footage we can get our hands on.

Sharon: If this guy really was shopping for mariah, at least we can assume that she’s being fed and taken care of. I mean, buying her the protein bars that she likes is a good sign that they’re at least giving her what she needs on some level.

Abby: Thank god you remember this, stitch. This is the first good lead that we’ve had. You are a hero.

Stitch: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Devon: Hey, what’s going on?

Abby: A couple of hours ago, I was struggling to hold on to even a sliver of hope. Not anymore.

Mariah: [ Sighs ] Alright, bowie, what do you say? Up for some more aerobics? Ah. Got to break up the boredom of staring at these four walls, so…

[ Gasps ] What was that? Oh!

[ Inhales sharply ]

The snapshot app from

progressive rewards you

Traci: [ Sighs ] Well, I failed.

Jack: At what?

Traci: I got you out of your mood for a little while, but it did not last. Was it the encounter with billy or are you missing harrison?

Jack: Oh, maybe a little of both. Harrison’s where he needs to be. I’m fine.

Traci: [ Sighs ] If this were anybody else, i would tell them, you know, take a break, step back, take the time to recharge. But you are your father’s son. If this had happened to dad, he would throw himself more deeply into his work.

Jack: Look, with my co-ceo having moved to italy, I’m gonna have my hands full just divvying up the workload and keeping the company moving forward in the process.

Traci: That’s not what i meant.

Jack: I know what you meant. And thank you. Just focus on finishing your fabulous new book. And if you’re looking for somebody to worry about, billy’s a good choice these days.

Traci: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ]

Billy: Hey, there. Here’s your lunch. You go on without me. I got some work to do.

Lily: Oh, I can tell by that little gleam in your eye the work has to do with ashland.

Billy: Well, I did get some interesting information from one of the reporters I have on the story. Turns out ashland locke was involved with an older woman back in the day before tara. The information is a little sketchy and there’s not much in the nature of their relationship, but this is when he first started when he was in his 20s and she was north of that, let’s say. And she was also very wealthy.

Lily: Okay, I mean, that’s not that compelling, and to be honest, a little ageist. So is this really worth reporting?

Billy: Oh, I know, it’s not exactly earth-shattering, but i believe there’s more to it. And trust me, if there is, I’m gonna find it.

Rey: Hey, let’s see if that convenience store has a surveillance system. If so, we got to grab the footage from that day that i told you about. Also, let’s get some eyes over there. Let’s keep a lookout for an older man who would be buying supplies that a pregnant woman might need.

Sharon: Thank you, stitch. Just imagine if you hadn’t seen abby take that protein bar out of her purse earlier.

Tessa: We may have never made this connection.

Abby: [ Sighs ] It feels like we’re finally getting somewhere.

Devon: Yeah, it does, it does. Um, I have a bit of an update for you.

Abby: You have some information?

Devon: Well, I reached out to christine today about getting that message to chance.

Abby: Did she get through to him?

Devon: She didn’t, not yet, but it’s still a work-in-progress. She’s still putting in the effort. Just hopefully it’ll be soon.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Can you imagine? Hopefully mariah will be home before chance returns, and our precious baby will be safe. It would be a dream come true.

Mariah: Keep calm. Don’t overreact. And enough with the aerobics. Okay? It’s fine if you get out of shape. It’s just fine. There’s nobody to see you anyway. There’s nobody here to make fun of you. Oh! Ah! Oh! Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no. Mm! Mm! No, these can’t be contractions. They can’t be contractions. It’s too soon. Oh.

[ Groaning ] Oh, it’s too soon.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Xander: [Sighs]

Gwen: Do you always get this dressed up to answer the door?

Xander: I was just about to have a shower. What can I do for you?

Gwen: I came– I came to say I’m sorry.

Olivia: Oh, it is so good to finally meet you, eli, and to see your precious babies in person.

Eli: This is for you.

Olivia: Good manners and handsome. You got the total package here, lani.

Lani: Aunt paulina said the same thing when she first met him, although she used more colorful terms.

Olivia: Oh, what did she say?

Eli: We won’t get into that.

Olivia: Oh, tell me what my daughter called you.

Lani: Tell her.

Eli: She said something like I look like a tall glass of chocolate milk.

Olivia: She can’t help herself. Paulina has never met a line she wouldn’t cross.

Abe: Alice and tom’s plaque.

Paulina: Back in its rightful place. Julie was just here checking it out.

Abe: Oh, so how’d that go?

Paulina: Pretty well, actually. It seems fitting that this is the place where we buried the hatchet. We agreed to start over with a clean slate.

Abe: Lani tells me that you and she did the same.

Paulina: Oh, I’m so grateful for that. So, abraham, what about us?

Tripp: Allie, there’s something I want to tell you.

Allie: What?

Tripp: I– I love you. Allie?

Allie: I, um– I don’t know what to say.

Johnny: So you think I’m cute?

Chanel: That answer your question?

Johnny: I did not see that one coming, but I’m glad that it did.

Chanel: Me too. Although now I feel like everybody’s looking at us.

Johnny: Yeah. Maybe we should go someplace a little more private?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Tripp: I didn’t mean to put you on the spot. You don’t have to say it back, just because I did.

Allie: Tripp–

Tripp: No really. It’s okay. It felt right, in the moment, but if you don’t feel the same way–

Allie: I care about you a lot. I just– I don’t know if I’m ready to say those words yet. I’m sorry.

Tripp: You have nothing to be sorry about okay. I don’t want you to force anything. And you know what? We don’t have to talk about it anymore. Let’s just forget it ever happened.

Allie: No. Wait. I want you to understand why I didn’t say that.

Johnny: I’m sorry. Did I just push that too far? I just–the kiss was so great that I was hoping it wouldn’t be the last one. But if you’re not comfortable, we don’t–

Chanel: I’m not uncomfortable. I don’t get uncomfortable.

Johnny: So–

Chanel: So let’s do it.

Johnny: Yeah?

Chanel: Yeah let’s get out of here.

Johnny: Now you’re talking. Your place or mine?

Chanel: Well, I’m staying with my mom, and my grandmother’s in from out of town.

Johnny: My place it is. Can I get the check please? Right away. Thank you.

Gwen: So are you gonna put on a shirt?

Xander: Before I take a shower? That’s a bit silly, no?

Gwen: Yeah. There’s no complaints by me. Sorry.

Xander: Just what exactly are you sorry for?

Gwen: I just heard that you spent the night in jail.

Xander: It’s not my first.

Gwen: Still, that couldn’t have been pleasant.

Xander: Well, it goes with the territory, you know. I couldn’t exactly wriggle out of the charges, after I confessed to jack.

Gwen: Yeah. You didn’t have to do that, xander.

Xander: Well, I kind of did. Jack was on the brink of discovering that you lied about your miscarriage.

Gwen: Yeah. A few moments more, and i probably would have come clean.

Xander: But then you would have lost your father, after you spent your whole life without him. All I lost was one night.

Gwen: Yes, but you could still go to prison, xander. I can’t let you do that. Not for protecting me.

Xander: It’s all right, gwen.

Gwen: No, no. It’s not actually. I should–no. I should go to the police, and I should tell them the truth. My nunormal?

Xander: Gwen, you don’t have to confess. I’m not going to prison.

Gwen: How do you know that?

Xander: Ej dimera agreed to represent me.

Gwen: Ej?

Xander: I mean you do know him, right? I mean, I assume you do, given your history with the family.

Gwen: I know him by reputation, yes. I haven’t actually met him.

Xander: Well, let me tell you he is beyond capable and utterly ruthless. He already got me released on bail, and I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before he makes all the charges go away.

Gwen: Are you sure?

Xander: Well, he better, ’cause I just spent $1 million to retain him.

Paulina: I know how badly I hurt you, abe, and I’d love the chance to make it up to you, if you’ll let me.

Abe: I was encouraging lani to forgive you, and I would be a hypocrite not to try.

Paulina: Really? So you think we can start over too?

Abe: Well, I’m not saying that it would be easy, but… I would like to try.

Paulina: Oh, you don’t know how much this means to me.

Abe: You know… I tried so hard to be mad at you. Stay mad at you. But I can’t deny how I feel when I’m around you. It’ll be such a relief to– be such a relief to get past the secrets and the lies.

Paulina: It will.

Abe: You don’t look relieved.

Olivia: Those are the most gorgeous babies I’ve ever seen since–well, since you were born, lani, and of course chanel.

Eli: Well, I can imagine lani being a beautiful baby, but she’s also a wonderful mother, as well.

Olivia: Amen, and I’m so sorry I wasn’t here for the wedding or the christening.

Lani: That’s okay, big mama.

Eli: Yeah. We knew you weren’t well enough to travel.

Lani: And we’re just really happy that you’re all better.

Olivia: It’s a true blessing.

Lani: You know, big mama, you said that you came to salem to get a couple things straight with aunt paulina, but you didn’t say what they were.

Olivia: [Laughs] If you think you’re gonna tell that child you’re her mother, you got another thing coming, hear?

Lani: So what was it about?

Allie: The truth is I’ve never said “I love you” to anyone I’ve been with before, so it’s kind of a big deal.

Tripp: Of course it is.

Allie: Have you said it to someone else?

Tripp: I have. It’s always a major step. You’ve never had a serious boyfriend?

Allie: I dated a couple guys in europe, but nothing like this. I love being with you so much, but I just feel–I don’t know. Maybe I’m scared of saying something too soon, or maybe it’s from all of the trauma that I went through last year, or–I don’t know. I’m just not ready. Does that make sense? And I know that I’m way in my head right now, and I’m talking too much. Way too much, but I just don’t want to hurt you. But I have hurt you, haven’t I?

Olivia: Well, I’ll give it to you straight, child. When I found out paulina was seeing your father, I thought it was a very bad idea. I mean, there’s a world full of men out there, and she chooses her sister’s ex. The father of her child.

Lani: Dad and aunt paulina had a connection right away.

Olivia: Connection, fine. But the bible says thou shall not uncover the nakedness of your brother’s wife.

Lani: Big mama.

Olivia: Well, you know what I’m saying. It’s wrong.

Eli: Lani wasn’t sure at first either.

Lani: Look, yes. I was–at first, I was weirded out by it for a minute, and then I got over it. Big mama, mom and dad were never married, and they were done a long time ago.

Olivia: But there still can be feelings.

Lani: Mom doesn’t seem worried about it, so why are you?

Olivia: Well, I guess I’m just old-fashioned.

Abe: So what’s wrong, paulina?

Paulina: Uh–uh– I was just thinking.

Abe: About what?

Paulina: Well, hopefully thinking that you were thinking the same thing. That the only thing good about breaking up is getting back together.

Abe: You don’t waste any time, do you?

Paulina: Life is short, abraham.

Abe: You don’t have to tell me that.

Paulina: Well, I would invite you over to my apartment, but my mama’s there.

Abe: Lani told me that she and eli are taking the kids over to see her.

Paulina: Right, right, so what do you say we just head on over to your place?

Abe: Well, you know, that is very tempting, but I wouldn’t mind meeting the famous big mama. I’ve heard so much about her.

Paulina: Oh, I don’t know, abe.

Abe: You don’t want me to see her?

Paulina: No, no, no. Of course not. It’s just she’s a handful, and she is just so full of opinions about you, and me, and–

Abe: Tamara.

Paulina: Yes.

Abe: Well, you know, I am not afraid of big mama’s opinions. I just want her to know how much her daughter means to me. You know, we just have to be open to the whole family, if we’re gonna have a chance to make this work.

Paulina: You always know just what to say, don’t you?

Abe: Well, then shall we go see big mama?

Paulina: I can’t think of a reason why not.

Abe: Let’s do it.

Tripp: Really, allie, it’s okay.

Allie: Are you sure?

Tripp: As long as we’re together, and as long as this relationship is moving in the right direction, I’m cool.

Allie: Okay.

Tripp: And you don’t ever have to explain yourself to me.

[Beeping] Oh, that’s me. Oh, great.

Allie: Everything okay?

Tripp: It’s from kayla. I have to get back to the hospital.

Allie: But I thought you had the rest of the night off?

Tripp: I thought so, too, but, you know, that’s the life of a med student. I’d better get dressed.

Allie: [Sighs] Ugh!

Chanel: You said your family had a big house. You didn’t say it was a mansion.

Johnny: Yeah. Room’s this way.

Chanel: Do we need a map to get there?

Johnny: No, I think i remember the way.

Chanel: Can’t wait to see it.

[Door opens] Oh, wait. We can’t do this. Still fresh

Johnny: I’m so sorry. I thought you wanted this.

Chanel: No, no. I do. It’s just– do you have protection?

Johnny: Oh, yeah. Yeah sure. Just hang on. I know I’ve got something. I could have sworn–okay. I’m gonna run to the pharmacy. Just make yourself comfortable. Get relaxed. I’ll be back 20 minutes tops, okay?

Chanel: Wait. Hang on.

Johnny: No. It’s okay. Nobody’s gonna bother you up here.

Chanel: No, no. It’s just, you know, maybe it’s a good thing this happened. You know, maybe we should just hang out for a while.

Johnny: Hang out.

Chanel: Yeah. Maybe I was rushing things, and not for the right reasons.

Johnny: I get it.

Chanel: You do?

Johnny: Yeah. It’s because of that girl you were telling me about earlier, huh?

Allie: Thank you for watching henry.

Marlena: Oh, please don’t thank me. It was my pleasure. I adore being with him.

Allie: Where is he?

Marlena: Oh, he’s in the other room with john they’re playing with building blocks, they made quite an amazing structure. I’ll get him for you.

Allie: Oh, before you go, can we talk?

Marlena: Oh, of course. Sit. Okay. What’s going on?

Allie: It’s tripp.

Marlena: Is there a problem?

Allie: No. No. Actually, he’s great. He just told me he loves me.

Marlena: Oh. And it upset you?

Allie: It upset me, because I couldn’t say it back to him.

[Knocking]

Kayla: Yeah. Hey. You’re not supposed to be on shift tonight.

Tripp: If anyone asks, you called me in.

Kayla: Can I at least know why I’m being used as the excuse?

Tripp: I kind of told allie that I had to go back to the hospital.

Kayla: Why’d you do that?

Tripp: Well, things have been going really well with us, and we had a great day together, so I decided to go for it.

Kayla: Go for what?

Tripp: I told her that I loved her, and she didn’t say it back.

Kayla: Oh.

Tripp: What the hell was I thinking? I mean you never say it unless you’re sure the other person is ready, and now, I may have ruined everything.

[Laughter]

Abe: Well, hello everyone.

Lani: Dad?

Abe: Hello, eli, and hello, lani. Hello, jules. Hello, carver, and hello, mrs. Price.

Paulina: Mama, I’d like you to meet–

Olivia: No introduction necessary. Tamara showed me his picture a long time ago. I’d know you anywhere.

Abe: Mama price, it’s lovely to meet you.

Olivia: Call me olivia.

Abe: Olivia. Well, I’m very glad to have you here in salem. I’ve heard so much about you.

Olivia: I’m sure you have.

Abe: Yes. I assume you know that I have a history with your other daughter.

Olivia: History? That’s one way of putting it.

Abe: Well, tamara and i were together many years ago, and we share our lovely daughter, but I do want you to know how very much I care for paulina.

Olivia: I thought you two had broken up?

Abe: Well, we just got back together, mama.

Lani: You did?

Abe: We did.

Eli: Congratulations.

Paulina: Thanks.

Eli: That’s great, right?

Olivia: Y’all okay with this?

Lani: I mean, big mama, if they want to be together.

Olivia: Well, if you ask me, it’s a terrible mistake, and paulina knows why.

Lani: Why, auntie p?

Paulina: Well–

Abe: I assume this is about the lies that paulina told us.

Olivia: Lies?

Abe: About price town.

Olivia: Oh, that.

Abe: I can assure you that I have forgiven paulina about everything, and we’ve agreed to start fresh.

Paulina: That’s right. We’re all good, mama, so you can pipe down. Give us your blessing.

Gwen: For you to give up $1 million, just to protect me– honestly, I don’t know what to say.

Xander: But you don’t have to feel guilty, gwen. You didn’t ask me to be the fall guy.

Gwen: Yeah, but you needed that money.

Xander: Yeah. It’s not like I worked very hard for it. Anyway, in my experience, there’s always another opportunity around the corner.

Gwen: You know, I know a thing or two about you by now, xander. You really struggled to gain respect.

Xander: Money and respect aren’t the same thing.

Gwen: Oh, really? Since when?

Xander: Maybe I am growing as a person.

Gwen: I really don’t know how to thank you. No one’s ever done something so selfless for me before.

Xander: Well, I don’t think I’ve ever done anything so selfless for someone before, so maybe we’re both just exploring new territory.

Gwen: But you did all this for me?

Xander: I suppose I did.

Gwen: Thank you, xander. Thank you.

Xander: You’re very welcome. Feeling stressed in your skin?

Gwen: That is for helping with snyder’s body.

Xander: Even though it turned up where I left him?

Gwen: And that is for keeping my secret. That is for spending the night in jail. And this– this is for the $1 million.

Tripp: After everything that allie’s been through, the last thing she needed was somebody pressuring her.

Kayla: Tripp, you weren’t pressuring her. You were just being honest about your feelings.

Tripp: Yeah, but I put her in such an awkward position.

Kayla: Did she say that?

Tripp: No. She said it was fine, but I mean she got all nervous and over-explaining. I could tell she was uncomfortable.

Kayla: Well, I’m sure she didn’t want to hurt your feelings. Look, you said yourself that she’s been through a lot this year. She probably just needs time.

Tripp: What if she takes time and realizes that she’ll never love me back?

Marlena: You care for tripp.

Allie: Very much. He’s the best guy I’ve ever been with. We have fun together. We have great talks. He’s so good with henry.

Marlena: And you weren’t having any problems before he said he loved you?

Allie: I just heard those three words and froze.

Marlena: But you weren’t having any doubts before that?

Allie: Well, I did have a dream this morning that shook me a bit.

Marlena: What kind of dream?

Allie: I was in bed with tripp, but chanel was there too.

Chanel: Do you always try to analyze the girls you want to sleep with?

Johnny: Look, you wanted to talk. Now, we’re talking, and I can’t help but wonder if maybe the reason that you kissed me–maybe the reason that we are here, in my bedroom is the same reason you pulled back. You’re not over this girl.

Chanel: So you’re saying that I’m using you to get her out of my system?

Johnny: Are you? My plaque psoriasis…

Kayla: Look, when it comes to trauma recovery is rarely a straight line. But the fact that allie can have a healthy relationship and get close to you–I mean that’s a huge step. And it’s a testament to how supportive and patient you’ve been, but triggers can happen at any time, and I know that from experience.

Tripp: What if it isn’t about the trauma? What if it has nothing to do with charlie?

Kayla: Are you afraid that her feelings for you are not as strong as your feelings are for her?

Tripp: And I’m afraid that it might be because of someone else.

Johnny: Is it about the girl?

Chanel: No. And yes. Maybe I was trying to prove something to myself, but I really do like you, too.

Johnny: I’m glad to hear that.

Chanel: It’s just I need to accept that she’s with somebody else, and so I have no choice but to get over her.

Johnny: Well, if I can ever help you with that, now you know where to find me.

Chanel: Thanks.

Johnny: Yeah.

Chanel: Well, I should really go. My grandma’s in town, and I gotta catch her before she heads back to florida.

Johnny: Well, okay. Goodnight. Oh.

Eli: Okay, and last one. Lani and big mama. All right. That’s great. I’ll make sure I text everyone the pictures too.

Abe: Oh, I can’t wait to see ’em.

[Baby crying]

Lani: Well, carver is getting a little fussy here. Oh, and there goes jules.

Eli: Yeah. Well, I think we’re about five minutes away from a double meltdown.

Lani: Okay. I really want to do this, but I think we should pass on dinner and head home. They didn’t get much sleep today.

Paulina: Well, you sure you can’t just put ’em down here?

Eli: That sounds like a recipe for dinner and disaster.

Olivia: We understand. You get those angels home. It was good to meet you, eli.

Eli: It’s nice to meet you, as well, and please come back to see us soon.

Olivia: That’s a promise.

Lani: Oh, big mama, it was so good to see you.

Olivia: It’s always good to see you, baby. Your babies are a true miracle. I’m so proud of you, lani.

Lani: Thank you. I love you.

Eli: Okay. You ready?

Lani: Here we go.

Abe: Hey, sweetie.

Lani: Bye, dad.

Paulina: Aw.

Eli: All right.

Abe: Take care, all right?

Eli: Y’all have a good one.

Olivia: Oh, I miss them already.

Abe: I know how you feel.

Paulina: Abe, you want to stay for dinner?

Abe: Oh, that’s a nice invitation, you know, but I think I should let the two of you have some mother and daughter time.

Paulina: You sure?

Abe: Yeah. I mean we have all the time in the world, and mama. Mama price, it was so wonderful to meet you at last.

Olivia: I’m sure it was.

Abe: Well, see you tomorrow.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. You just try and stay away from me.

Abe: Ooh.

Paulina: [Chuckles] Get that damn frown off your face.

Allie: Chanel’s the girl that I told you about.

Marlena: Yes. Yes. Paulina’s daughter. The one who kissed you.

Allie: Yeah. And it’s not just the dream that’s making me wonder.

Marlena: Okay. What else is making you wonder?

Allie: Chanel met this guy, and she likes him, and I just felt this little stab of jealousy. And then tripp and I almost walked in on her date with him, and I just kind of panicked and made tripp leave. And I’m not exactly sure why.

Marlena: Well, maybe you didn’t want to see her with somebody else?

Allie: Maybe. But if I still have feelings for her, I want to get past them.

Marlena: Because you want to be with tripp.

Allie: Yes. And I want to be able to say that I love him back. In a perfect world, you know, chanel is in love with this new guy, and I’m in love with tripp, and I–everyone’s just happy.

Marlena: Well, sometimes things aren’t that neat and tidy, you know, because feelings are messy, and…

Allie: Yeah.

Marlena: Telling somebody that you love them–just those three words–they’re very powerful. And you shouldn’t rush into that, especially if you’re–well, if you’re confused about it. I think you should sort out your feelings before you move forward with tripp.

Allie: Yeah. You’re right. Thank you for letting me talk to you about this.

Marlena: Of course. Always, always, always. I’m always here for you, oh, darling.

Allie: I love you.

Marlena: I love you, too. Let me get that baby for you.

Allie: Okay. Thank you.

Chanel: I really gotta go.

Johnny: Do you?

Chanel: I do.

Johnny: Ah, okay. Text me.

Chanel: Or maybe I’ll stop by and surprise you some night.

Johnny: I like surprises. And next time, I will be prepared. Ohh. Ah!

The snapshot app from

progressive rewards you

Xander: You know, I have to say, that was well worth $1 million. Oh, did somebody just make somebody laugh for the first time?

Gwen: No. No. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Shush.

Xander: You hungry?

Gwen: Not really.

Xander: Thirsty? I have champagne. We could celebrate my release from jail.

Gwen: Champers? Doesn’t that seem like bad luck, to celebrate before ej gets the charges dropped?

Xander: You’re probably right. Well, is there anything else I can get for you?

Gwen: I think you’ve done plenty.

Xander: Come on. There must be some incredibly selfless thing I can do to compel you to thank me all over again.

Gwen: Well, yeah. I think I probably owe you still, for the first one.

Xander: I’ve got an idea. How about I show you how the scots say, “you’re welcome?”

Gwen: Okay.

Kayla: When you say there’s someone else you mean allie’s friend who she had a thing for?

Tripp: Yeah.

Kayla: But you said you thought that she had put those feelings aside?

Tripp: She said I’m the only one she wants to be with.

Kayla: But you’re doubting her.

Tripp: I shouldn’T. I mean, we’ve been spending so much time together, and she’s never given me a reason to question her, but–

Kayla: But what?

Tripp: I would never say this to allie, but I can’t help wondering that what if she hasn’t really put those feelings aside completely? Maybe that’s why she couldn’t bring herself to say she loves me.

[Cell phone rings]

Allie: Hey.

Chanel: Hey, horton. I just wanted to let you know I went by the bank with my mom, and we signed all the rest of the paperwork for the bakery.

Allie: So we’re all set with sweet bits?

Chanel: Yep. All good.

Allie: That’s awesome. You must be so excited.

Chanel: Yeah. It’s been a good day. I even ran into that guy again.

Allie: Thirst trap?

Chanel: Yep. Yeah. We went for a drink at julie’s place.

Allie: I know.

Chanel: You do?

Allie: Tripp and i were there. We ran into your mom outside.

Chanel: Oh, well, why didn’t you guys come in? I could have introduced you.

Allie: We didn’t want to get in the way. Did you have fun?

Chanel: Yeah, yeah. It was cool. He’s a lot of fun.

Allie: I’m happy for you.

Chanel: Thanks. I–I gotta go head home. I want to say goodbye to big mama before she leaves. Love you.

Allie: Love you too.

[Cell phone beeps]

Eli: Your grandmother is a trip.

Lani: It’s easy to see where my aunt paulina gets it from.

Eli: Yes it is.

Lani: It was nice having the family all together today, wasn’t it?

Eli: Mm-hmm, but it seems like every time someone arrives, someone leaves.

Lani: I know my dad is really going to miss theo, but I am happy that him and paulina are back together, because I hated the thought of him being lonely.

Eli: I knew they’d work it out. I’m just surprised that you came around, but I’m glad that you did.

Lani: Yeah. Me too, and I’m so happy that we finally have all the lies and the secretes behind us.

Eli: Mm-hmm.

Paulina: Abe said he wanted to give us some alone time, but I think he was just done dealing with your nonsense.

Olivia: My nonsense?

Paulina: You were positively rude to him, mama.

Olivia: Well, I’m sorry. Unlike most people, I can’t hide my true feelings.

Paulina: Well, this isn’t about you.

Olivia: It’s about my family. I’m sorry, paulina, but you’re playing with fire.

Paulina: Well, that’s none of your concern. Now, if I want to be with abe, you can’t stop me.

Olivia: Maybe I can’t, but you’re fooling yourself, if you think you can ever tell him the truth. Because if lani finds out the truth, she’ll never forgive you, and neither will abe. You just got him back, but if he finds out the truth, he’ll kick your behind to the curb so fast.

Paulina: Yeah. I hear you, mama. I hear you.

Olivia: Do you?

Paulina: Yes, yes, and you’re right, you’re right.

Olivia: Promise me.

Paulina: There’s nothing more I’d like than to tell my beautiful daughter that I’m her mama, but I know. I know, if I told her, that she and abe, they’ll never forgive me for lying all these years. So if I want her and abe both in my life, I’ll just have to take my secret to the grave.

[ Romantic guitar instrumental ]

[ Birds caw ]

Steffy: How was your swim?

Finn: Oh, it was refreshing. I saw a whole pod of dolphins.

Steffy: You did? Oh, kelly would’ve loved that. Amelia took her and hayes to the park.

Finn: Oh, so does that mean I get my beautiful wife all to myself?

Steffy: I know… last night was amazing.

Finn: Mm.

Steffy: We really needed that.

Finn: Well yeah, especially since you’re leaving me for san francisco.

Steffy: I know, but it’s only for a night. I have to go with hope. You know, deal with hope for the future. I hate being away from you and the kids.

Finn: Me too, but I’ll be here holding down the fort.

Steffy: I know you will. It just makes me feel uneasy that sheila’s out there… somewhere.

Sheila: You know, I kept quiet about our affair… and about finn all of finn’s life.

Jack: What do you want, sheila? What do you want?

Sheila: All I want to do is see finn, one more time and to see my grandson and hold him in my arms and then I am out of your life, forever.

Li: What are you gonna do, jack?

Jack: What?

Li: You said you were going to call room service. You wanted breakfast.

Jack: No. I mean, yeah, sure.

Li: Hey, what is it? You’ve been preoccupied since last night.

Jack: I’m sorry.

Li: There’s something obviously troubling you. Does it have anything to do with finn’s birth mother?

[ Romantic piano instrumental ]

Quinn: Eric? There you are.

Eric: Hi. Hi. I– I owe you an apology.

Quinn: For what?

Eric: For falling asleep last night. I’m sorry. Our first night home, us together… and I disappoint you once again.

Quinn: I’ll admit I had very different plans for us last night. I came down here ready for us to celebrate.

Eric: Yeah, and I had already conked out. The last martini got to me, I guess.

Quinn: Ah well, it happens to the best of us. I was a little tipsy myself.

Eric: Yeah? You were fast asleep when I went upstairs.

Quinn: Well, you could’ve woken me up.

Eric: But you were sleeping so… soundly, I didn’t want to disturb.

Quinn: It felt so good to be back in our bed. But we can just make up for it tonight.

Li: Jack. It’s okay. You’ve been honest and truthful with me our entire marriage. The only secret you kept was that finn’s birth mother approached you after we adopted finn. Do I wish you had told me back then? Yes, of course, I do. But I can forgive that. I know you were only just trying to protect us. I love you.

[ Knocking ]

Sheila: Hey keith!

Carter: Miss carter.

Sheila: Uh, is there something wrong?

Keith: I see you’re extending your stay?

Sheila: Yes. Yes, there’s somebody very important I need to see before I leave.

Finn: We agreed to put sheila out of our minds and focus on the two of us.

Steffy: I know, but I can’t stop thinking about her. Like, that’s the problem. That’s the kind of power she has over all of us.

Finn: No, she doesn’T. She doesn’t have that power over you, me, or our children. None. What she did to your family in the past… we’re breaking that cycle. Alright? Right here, right now. We can’t let sheila ruin another moment of our happiness. An amusement park is like whooping cough,

Li: You must have been shocked when you learned of what she’d done.

Jack: It was a long time ago, li. There wasn’t much on the internet back then. I only got a glimpse of who she was or what she was capable of.

Li: Sounds like she’s become progressively more dangerous over the years.

Jack: I couldn’t have predicted the lengths she’d go to.

Li: Shooting at people? My god. Kidnapping?

Jack: You know, it’s only now that I realize how unstable she was. I’ll do whatever it takes to protect our family.

Li: I know you’re just as wary of her as I am, jack.

Jack: We won’t have to deal with her. Don’t think or worry about sheila ever again.

Sheila: Would you like to come in?

Keith: You’re kind of, uh… mysterious.

Sheila: And I get the feeling you want your room back.

Keith: You’ve been here awhile. I don’t want to pry, but… this person you want to see before you leave town. I’m assuming it’s a guy?

Sheila: As a matter of fact, yes.

Keith: That’s what I thought. Big date?

Sheila: I hope so.

[ Chuckles ]

Keith: If you need any restaurant recommendations, there are a lot of good places to eat around here.

Sheila: Thank you, but I’m familiar. I don’t think we’re going to be meeting at a restaurant.

Keith: This guy, um… older or younger? If you don’t mind me asking.

Sheila: Younger. Actually, much younger.

Keith: Well, okay. Okay, good for you. Either way, it seems like he means a lot.

Sheila: Yeah, he’s very special to me.

Keith: Been a long time since you’ve seen one another?

Sheila: Actually uh, we’ve never met.

Keith: So a blind date? You– you meet on an app, or…? Is a friend fixing you up?

Sheila: Well, it’s– it’s an acquaintance that’s going to introduce us.

Keith: Cool.

Shila: Yeah. It is. I can hardly wait to meet this little guy.

Steffy: Oh, my sweet baby boy. He and kelly are my whole world. And I’m leaving them?

Finn: Well, you’re leaving for like twenty four hours.

Steffy: Look how cute they look in this photo. How can they be so adorable?

Finn: Well, because they’re half of you, that’s why. Hm?

Steffy: I don’t know if I can do this. I don’t know.

Finn: You’re going to be fine.

Steffy: Then, why do i feel so guilty?

Finn: Because it’s been all about the kids lately. You have a meeting to attend, you have a business to run. And look, you love your work. Right? This is going to be good for you.

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah, I want to get back into it and everything, it’s just– I think it’s hitting me harder because of all the, the other stuff…

Finn: My birth mother. Okay.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: I promise you, steffy, sheila, she’s gone. She’s out of our lives. Don’t give her another thought.

Quinn: So, we missed out on one night. We have so many more evenings ahead of us.

Eric: We do. We have our whole lives together. I’m so grateful for that. And I’m so grateful that you came back.

Quinn: I’m so happy you still believe in us.

Eric: I do. With all my heart.

Quinn: So why– why do I get the feeling that there’s something still wrong.

Eric: I– I’m sorry. I don’t mean to– I don’t mean to make you feel that way.

Quinn: Look, we can take our time with this, you know. I get it. We don’t need to rush into anything–

Eric: It’s not time. I don’t need more time. It’s just that there’s– there’s something that, um– there’s something I should’ve confessed to you before I asked you to come back and live with me. Smooth dark chocolate, refreshing peppermint,

Steffy: Are you sure you’re going to be okay while I’m gone?

Finn: Of course! We’re going to have a great time– it’s just gonna be a wild party.

Steffy: Really?

Finn: Mm-hm.

Steffy: You’re gonna pop some bottles?

Finn: Oh yeah. It’s gonna be, uh, vip bottle service like you’ve never seen. We got top-shelf milk, imported juice boxes.

Steffy: Really? You have dj kelly on the mic?

[ Imitates record scratching ]

Finn: Yeah, yeah, if she’s game. I mean, you know how she gets. She can be a bit of a diva. I don’t know if we can book her.

Steffy: Yeah, she’s really bossy. She’s gonna be bossing you around while I’m gone.

Finn: Mm. Well, I’m gonna do anything I can to make that kid happy. And everything to put her mom at ease.

Steffy: I believe you. I trust your judgment.

Finn: Well good because you and the kids are my number one priority. Everything I do, every decision I make, is with your guys’ best interest at heart.

Steffy: I’m glad we’re on the same page, especially when it’s dealing with sheila.

Finn: I understand how critical it is to keep her far away.

Steffy: I love you.

Finn: I love you. Okay.

Steffy: Mm-hm?

Finn: One more. Go.

Jack: Sheila won’t be part of our lives anymore.

Li: How can you be sure?

Jack: Because I won’t allow it. You know how much I love you.

Li: I have a pretty good idea.

Jack: You’ve been so patient and understanding. Especially throughout this whole sheila ordeal.

Li: I’m just glad it’s over with. She’s moved on and so have we.

Jack: I’m such a lucky man that you agreed to be my wife all those years ago…

Li: You know, you’re real cute when you get mushy, you know that?

Jack: That’s why you married me.

Li: Yeah.

[ Dramatic instrumental ]

[ Tapping ]

[ Cellphone whistling ]

Eric: I don’t want to worry you but you deserve to know the why of what happened between us the last few months.

Quinn: Okay…

Eric: When– when i was being so cold to you, so… non-communicative. And when I pushed you away, I pushed you right into carter’s arms. It really wrecked me but I came to understood that you were in need of passion and tenderness. You wanted to feel desired like anybody would.

Quinn: Eric, I was hoping we wouldn’t have to keep bringing this up. We’re back together. Things are better than ever…

Eric: They could’ve been better last night. I don’t want there ever to be any mistaking how much I love you, how beautiful I think you are, how much I desire you.

Quinn: Eric, I know–

Eric: I mean, you’re this incredibly passionate, beautiful woman and I love you so much. And I want you. I always want you but I… I can’T… trusted by pet owners for over 20 years

Quinn: Whatever you’re dealing with… you’re not alone. We can handle it, together. You have no idea how much you have transformed my life. And I’m going to show you how much you mean to me tonight, tomorrow night and every night after that.

Eric: I want that so much… but I can’T.

Quinn: Why not, sweetheart?

Eric: Quinn, it’s– it’s so humiliating. I can– I can hardly say the words. But.. I have, um…

Quinn: Have what?

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

[ Knocking ]

Jack: Finn?

Finn: Dad. I didn’t know you were stopping by.

Jack: I thought I’d surprise you!

Finn: Oh, that’s great. You uh, you just missed steffy. She’s on her way up to san francisco.

Jack: Oh yeah. You told me earlier on the phone, remember? First trip since the baby. So uh, you’re all alone?

Finn: Yeah. Paris is at work. And the nanny’s dropping off kelly at a playdate.

Jack: What about the baby?

Finn: In the nursery. Just got home from the park.

Jack: So you’re officially on dad duty.

Finn: Yeah, well I’m always on dad duty. But, today I got ’em all to myself today.

Jack: I’m proud of you, son. Just the way you settled into parenthood… this new life.

Finn: Honestly, I’ve never been happier.

Jack: It shows.

Finn: Where’s mom?

Jack: She’s back at the hotel. Just thought I’d pop by and say hi and tell you again how sorry I am.

Finn: You don’t need to.

Jack: No, no, no, no, no. I should have told you earlier about your birth mother. And believe me, I’m regretting that mistake.

Finn: Yeah, you should’ve but you know what? It’s over. It’s done with. I’d rather not dwell on all this. It seems like all we’ve talked about, steffy and I, is sheila showing up at our wedding reception.

Jack: I feel terrible about that. But I am convinced that sheila will soon be out of our lives.

Finn: Soon? No, dad, she’s–. It’s done. She’s– she’s gone. Wait, are you–? She didn’t reach out to you or something? Did she?

Jack: Yeah.

Finn: She– I hope you didn’t– I hope you didn’t respond.

Jack: Yeah, I did. Ended up seeing her.

Finn: You saw her.

Jack: Yeah, I told her to stay out of our lives. She swore she’d leave town and not cause anymore trouble for our family.

Finn: Okay. Okay, that’s what everyone wants. Did you get through to her?

Jack: To some degree…

Finn: Wait, what is that supposed to mean?

Jack: Sheila has agreed to leave town… on one condition: She wants to see you again… and she wants to hold her grandson.

[Ominous strings instrumental]

[ Sheila sighs ]

[ Lullaby plays ]

Sheila: My grandson. Grandma loves you, sweetheart.

[ Suspenseful instrumental ] You better make it happen, jack. Or else.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

[ Telephones ringing in distance ] Ava: And why can’t you be my doctor? If — if I’m not so horrible, then what is — you’re not horrible, ava! I think you’re fascinating. Too fascinating. In fact, in many ways, I-I-I can… I can identify with you. In what kind of ways? I’ve said too much already. No, you haven’T. I mean, if you’re not my doctor anymore, then nothing you say can be considered unprofessional, isn’t that right? I can’t be your doctor because I can’t be objective. Not where you’re concerned. Kevin: Ava. Oh, I’m so sorry. You alright? No, it’s okay. Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine. Hi, kevin. Hi. I-I-I was just struck by a memory of when, uh, ryan was pretending to be you. Oh, uh… sorry. Was there, uh, something specific about ryan that you’re worried about? Well, I am being stalked by a madman, and he sure fits the bill. Yeah. Well, it isn’t ryan. I was at spring ridge this morning. He is incapable of moving, let alone stalking. Well, that’s why I’m here. I-I’d like to talk to you about who is capable. What are you thinking? There’s really no easy way to ask this. Do you think that spencer could be the stalker?

Come on, comin’ out of my shell

man, it’s been a long time since I felt like myself

I been waiting so long, I been doing me wrong

so I broke out of my cell

so when you see me walkin’ down the street

you won’t recognize who you see

you’re confusin’ me for someone else

introduce yourself to the brand-new me, come on

man, this is a brand-new

me -man. -Oh, that was great. Maybe I’ll post this one of joss and cam. It’s very affectionate. Oh, you do that. Then we’ll see how your dad feels about you throwing a rager while he’s away. Hmm.

[ Upbeat pop music playing ] Okay, let’s see ’em. I thought you said we’re the only ones allowed in the house. Well done. I told him no exceptions.

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ] Oh. As you can see, nobody’s coming inside the house. So is it okay if you just stay here and wait in the foyer me? Please? Sure. Just remember to check with me before you go outside or to any other areas of the house. Okay. Thank you, tony. Whew, glad to finally get off my feet. That deejay was tight. I haven’t danced like that since I don’t know when. Right? I’m glad he lived up to the hype. Everyone seems to be into it. You think so? Your friends are hard to read. Seem kind of standoffish. And by that she means they were total snobs. What’s up with them anyway? They were so preoccupied taking selfies. Are they influencers or something?

[ Chuckles ] No one I recognized. Are these your friends from school? Yeah. They just take a while to warm up. Some of them just flew in today. Jet lag. Oh. Well, it’s a good thing that cam invited some people from port charles. We can have conversations with them. Mm, well, you know us townies. Whatever. The party’s a hit, spencer. I never doubted it. Please, you’re among friends here. You can admit that you’re relieved you pulled it off. The party’s not over yet. I might still have a few surprises up my sleeve.

[ Indistinct conversations, telephones ringing ] Elizabeth. Hi! Hi. What brings you by? Well, uh, kevin.

[ Chuckles ] He’s finishing up his notes, and then we’re going to go out to dinner. Would you by any chance have a minute to talk with me while I wait? Yeah, sure. Okay, great. What’s on your mind? Well, I don’t want to overstep. I just wondered if you, uh, spoke to your father about naomi dreyfus’ death. Sam: And when I asked danny why he put the broken plate in the oven, he looked at me straight in the face, and he said because he thought I’d never find it.

[ Chuckles ] Why not? Because I don’t ever use the oven.

[ Chuckling ] Oh. You don’t cook. Okay, now I get it. My kids thought the oven was a good hiding spot. That’s messed up. I know. Makes me feel like a rock star, though, for serving up pasta. Cooked by your mother. Fair enough.

[ Clears throat ] You, uh — you got to get going? Um… I, uh… suppose I should.

[ Cellphone beeps ] Carly: Okay, crisis averted. Avery wanted a sip of water. She didn’t want to be read to, so she went right back to sleep. You know, I remember all the, uh, bedtime stories that we used to read josslyn. She couldn’t get enough of them, wow, it seems like yesterday, but also a lifetime ago. And now she’s going off to college. Yeah, well, no matter how old she gets in my heart, she’ll always be that little girl with messy hair.

[ Chuckling ] Oh, gosh. Climbing, swimming, and taking every dare. Yeah, but still vulnerable and dependent on us for everything. Yeah. I mean, she’s a strong young woman, but I understand what you mean. Well, you couldn’t possibly. Otherwise, you wouldn’t continue to put our daughter in danger like this.

since we’re here, do you want to go over the naomi dreyfus case? Isn’t that against the rules? What rules? The spa, you know, the single parents anonymous. The whole point was to kind of kick back and relax and unwind. And talking about work, I don’t know, that defeats the purpose. No, you’re right. It’s been nice relaxing and unwinding and all of that. But we’ve talked so much about the kids. Yeah, it kind of goes with the single-parents territory, don’t you think? Right. I mean, you started out by telling me all about the rock climbing thing in the park. Mm, which led to you telling me about scaling a wall chasing after a deadbeat dad. I liked that one. Which led to chasing all of the boring bad guy stories. Alright, well, speak for yourself. I think my stories are fascinating. Yes, they were breathtaking. Yeah, I think so. Which led to the “what was my kid thinking?” Stories.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, it was a good time, right? Yeah, it was. Is this a date? I haven’t heard from my dad in months. I believe he’s still working in africa, but I have no idea where. Laura: Yeah, I thought that might be the case. I just wanted to make myself available to you if you needed to talk. I mean, it’s another death, and that sometimes just kicks up other feelings. Yeah. Well, thank you. Mm-hmm. Honestly, I-I don’t even know how to process this. I mean, what’s the proper etiquette when the woman your father cheated with while still married to your mom dies? Am I supposed to track him down and tell him the news? I think you do what you feel most comfortable with. Which until this conversation was nothing. [ Chuckles ] I don’t know. I guess there’s always e-mail. I’d be happy to send an e-mail if you like. The person I really want to talk to is hayden. Does she even know her mom died? If she does, she might reach out to you. Oh, I don’t know. It’s been so long with no word. I’m starting to think I’ll never see hayden again. What makes you think that spencer is the one that’s threatening you? It’s nikolas. Nikolas is convinced of it. And I’m worried it might tear him and spencer apart again.

[ Sighs ] Well, laura and i were at wyndemere, and nikolas apologized to spencer for suspecting him. After spencer left, nikolas showed us a letter addressed to spencer from ryan. It was quite a surprise. Surprise indeed. The letter was returned to ryan unopened. But nikolas said that he didn’t believe spencer could be the stalker because the dates didn’t match. But based on what you’re saying, nikolas must have reconsidered. He just doesn’t think that spencer’s story holds together, and there are some holes there. What do you think? I think nikolas might be about to make a big mistake. I mean, he and spencer have just begun to repair their relationship. And if he goes ahead and confronts spencer, he could lose his son for good. Spencer: No, everything’s cool here. Just enjoying the time alone. Gives me space for quiet contemplation. Man: Mark, let’s go ride that bull! That? Um, just some mockumentary. I was streaming shows on hulu. Um, hey, father, have a safe flight. Text me when you land, okay? Okay. Alright. I love you, too. Bye. Cam, how many mockumentaries have you watched? Oh, that’s difficult to say. Um, none? Mm. Speaking of bull, what was that guy talking about? My first surprise. I got a mechanical bull. Mm. Impressive. Thanks. Oh, here’s a tip. Start on the lowest setting. It’s trickier than it looks.Oh, okay. Spencer, this party is epic. But aren’t you the least bit concerned about your father’s reaction when he gets back? I mean, you realize he’s going to find out, right? Unless you plan to re-sod the entire east lawn. Yes. More than likely he’ll find out, but he’ll get over it. My father might get annoyed, but he never really gets angry with me. How many times are we going to have this conversation? I told you, jason and I will do everything in our power to keep josslyn safe. Yeah, look, I’m not angling for a fight here, okay? Good. Glad to hear it. I-I’m just, you know, now — now that sonny’s gone, I’m — I’m struggling with this. I just need to understand it. Understand what? How you can tolerate being mixed up with the five families. Okay. I know you don’t approve. But I’ve already told you, it’s the perception of unity and continuity, okay? Everything has to stay the same. There can be no disruptions. That’s how I protect my family. That’s how I keep my kids safe. The way sonny protected morgan. Wow.

This can’t be a date. We’re colleagues. Not really, though. We work together. No, I’m a cop, sam. I would never commit to that. Okay, what are you tal– we — we’ve shared information. Yeah, when it’s available and it falls within the legal limits, sure. Oh, right, because you work within the legal limits of the law. Does that — does that annoy you? Yeah, a little bit. Well, it’s a good thing we weren’t talking about the case, then. Well, it’s a good thing we’re on our two-person support group meeting… meeting. Uh-huh. Because it’s not a date. Uh-huh. Dinner and drinks. Everyone in the world has dinner and drinks. You’re right. You’re right. I’m being ridiculous. It’s totally — totally not a date. Damn straight. Kind of feels like one, though. I don’t know the details. I just know that nikolas is convinced that spencer is the stalker, and it’s tearing him up.

[ Sighs ] Well, nikolas did let spencer believe he was dead for over three years. Obviously, he feels guilty about that. Perhaps his guilt is affecting his perception of the situation. But just because nikolas feels guilty, that doesn’t mean that he’s necessarily wrong about this, right? What do you think? Do you think that — that spencer is capable of everything that the stalker has done?

[ Sighs, stammers ] My — my first reaction is no. But then, I am married to his grandmother, so maybe I’m biased. Right. And I need you to put that guy aside for just a moment, please. I-I need the opinion of dr. Kevin collins. So, spencer, what other surprises do you have in store? Apparently, you’re unfamiliar with the concept of surprise. See, the whole idea is that you don’t know what’s coming. Fine. In the meantime, can I take cam up to the turret? I just love the view from up there. You sure there’s enough room for you, cam, and tony?

[ Chuckles ] We’ll figure it out. Then by all means, enjoy.

[ Indistinct conversations, dance music plays in distance ] How you guys doing? We want to explore the house a little. Is it okay if you stay here? Sure. But if you’re not back in 30 minutes, I’ll have to come looking for you, which I’m pretty sure we want to avoid. We’ll be back in 30 minutes or less, guaranteed. Have fun. Thank you. Well, did I disappoint? I admit you have exceeded my expectations. Thank you. Then you’re having fun? I am. I needed this. Not so much the bougie friends, but the chance to just chill and let go. Mm. Things calm down between you and your mom? I had a talk with ava. She gave me some good advice, as usual. What? I thought you were making an effort with ava. Didn’t you call a truce? Yeah, we’re on better terms now, but we are far from being friends. And if I recall, I also offered some pearls of wisdom. Are you jealous? It depends. What is this great advice that ava gave you? She told me that I can’t let the past get in the way of my relationship with my mom. I basically told you the same thing. Then you and ava agree. Mr. Cassadine. Kostas. Why have you left your post? There’s a problem. With the mechanical bull? The launch is missing. Carly: Oh, how dare you? I mean, how dare you bring up morgan? And sonny. What the hell is wrong with you? I am not trying to hurt you here. Really? But this is — this is too important to keep dancing around. Dancing around? I live with what happened to morgan every day of my life, as well as the reality that I lost my husband. And you’re standing here throwing them both up in my face. Why? Why? T-to prove your point? Well, I get it loud and clear. You can go now. No, no, no. Not until you listen to me. I loved morgan, too. I helped raise him, remember? And — and we decided to send him away to school so he’d be safe. And he was safe, until he came back and got mixed up in sonny’s feud with the jeromes. That’s not the whole story, and you know it. It’s close enough. I mean, you had a chance to break free of this life, and yet you chose to stay in it. I mean — I mean, how can you — how can you justify running the corinthos organization when it’s already cost you one child? Because to walk away would be more dangerous. To stay safe, we have to show strength. You sure you’re strong enough? Yes. Then tell me what you’re willing to do to protect our daughter.

rked so hard to cometogether for josslyn’s sake. What are you doing? Are you trying to say that I don’t love my daughter? No. No, of course not. But this — this novak guy, he — he targeted josslyn. Yes, and it’s not going to happen again. Why, because jason said he handled it? Or — or because you’re going to send a message to the novaks and the other families, give them a show of force so they won’t move against you again? So they’ll — they’ll fear you? I’m not going to talk to you about this. No, I really have to know. Do they fear you already? Yeah. Yeah, jax, they do. Because you blew up cyrus’ cargo ship? Why are you so insistent on our support group meeting being a date? Are you one of those “men and women can’t be friends” kind of people? Not at all. Good. ‘Cause I have a lot of male friends. Wow. That’s good for you.

[ Laughs ] I got a lot of female friends. Good for you. I’m glad… you’re enlightened. Mm-hmm. Except I don’t kiss my female friends on the mouth. You know, the way, uh — the way we kissed on the fourth of july. Sst! I was drunk. And you said you weren’t gonna bring that up again. Right. Never happened. Except it did happen. Dante. Okay, fine. I’ll stop. My bad. Besides, I know I’m — I’m definitely not your type. If spencer weren’t laura’s grandson, would you — would you think he was capable of being a stalker?

[ Inhales deeply ] That’s a complex question, and the answer is even more so. You know, spencer never knew his mother, which is traumatic enough. Nikolas was an indulgent father, a wealthy, indulgent father. Spencer certainly got used to getting his way, and he was known to act out to get attention. And were there ever any consequences for his bad behavior? Aside from laura, probably not. Well, spencer was dead set against my marriage to nikolas. And the stalker seems to feel the same way. Yes, you do seem to be the target of the fixation. But the threats, they stopped once nikolas and I made our impending divorce public and started to create some distance between us. Which is what the stalker wanted. And what spencer wanted. You have to remember that spencer is still a young man. The brain isn’t even fully formed until the age of 25. It is possible that spencer just doesn’t grasp how traumatic this can be for you. Well, it sounds like you think nikolas might be onto something. Kevin, do you think spencer is the stalker? I ran into cam working at kelly’s the other day. I’m just so proud of him. You know, he’s — he’s being so mature and so responsible. Yeah, oh, and he and joss are so adorable together. I know. Can you believe it? I know. Things are finally coming together for him. Thank god. Yeah. I must admit, I was really happy when he chose to stay at pcu instead of going somewhere far away. Yeah. He chose pcu to stay close to home, even though we all told him it was okay to go to california. Yeah. But I’m glad he’s here, although I am a little concerned that he sacrificed going to his dream school. Oh, honey, come on, now. You’ve raised such a wonderful young man that I believe he’s going to do well no matter where he lands. Isn’t it great up here? Yeah, I’d forgotten. Do you remember when spencer used to have us out here for play dates? Do you remember the chupacabra? Oh, god. He had us fully convinced that there was a monster in these tunnels. And actually, he wasn’t completely wrong. Yeah, well, he wasn’t completely right, either, so… ah, typical spencer. Mm. You know, when we were kids, I never realized just how lonely he was.

[ Indistinct conversations in distance ] I just thought he was spoiled and obnoxious. And now? And now I still think he’s spoiled and obnoxious, but…I don’t know. I get the sense that he’s trying, or at least trying to try. Mm. Seems like it. Yeah. Anyway, uh, enough about spencer. Fine by me. Mm. This may be his house and his party, but the way I see it in this moment, this turret is ours.

[ Dance music playing in distance ] A few of the guests wanted to leave. When they got to the docks, the launch was gone. They’re probably picking up people on the mainland. Serves them right. Why would anyone want to leave so early? Mr. Cassadine, the plan was to have a boat here at all times. It was to wait for the second boat to arrive from the mainland before departing. We can’t reach the pilots on either launch. Oh. I just want to confirm, you have no transport off this island? Not at the moment. Alright, I’m sorry. I’m gonna have to take josslyn home. I’m gonna call for one of our boats. Uh, hold it. I-I think you’re jumping the gun here. Okay, this could just be a mix-up. You know, what if the pilots figured that, you know, the party was well under way, and it’s probably safe to take a break? I saw the boat house earlier. We need to check and see if the boat’s been sabotaged. Is that really necessary? It’s the simplest way to find out if somebody wanted to strand us here. Hey, kostas, how much security do you have out there? Kostas: Six people. They’re all good. They know their business, but they were hired to do crowd control for kids. Okay, alert your team. Tell them to keep their eyes on the party-goers. I’m going to go check the boats once I have eyes on josslyn. Might be good to keep her here. I’ll keep an eye on these kids. Yeah, do that. If I find out the boat’s been sabotaged, I’m calling a chopper. Find josslyn and cameron. Tell them to come back down here and stay in the living room. I’ll be right back. I’ll go find joss and cam. Trina — here. I’ll be out front watching the door. You stay put.

[ People cheering in distance ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hello. Everything’s fine.

Hello, spencer.

It’s ryan chamberlain.

You were trying

to get my attention?

Well, you’ve got it.

It ends tonight.

There you are. Trina. I’m so sorry, but things are getting weird downstairs. What’s going on? The launches are missing. What do you mean they’re missing? There’s supposed to be a boat in the dock, and there isn’t, and the captains aren’t answering. Wait, that’s so weird. Both boats? Maybe it’s nothing, but your bodyguard’s in full overdrive. He wants you downstairs immediately. Okay. Okay. Thank you. We should go. It’s always something with the cassadines. Whoa, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean you’re not my type? Well, you know, I’m not much of a brooder, you know. Oh, no, you’re not. I mean, you would have to stop talking… exactly. …To brood. And — and I have a sense of humor. You do slay the dad jokes. Hey, rocco likes them. What else? Uh… oh, I respect the law. Because you are the law. Mm. That’s very convenient. And I can cook. Definitely get a gold star for that one, because I’m not doing the cooking. So you said, yeah. But you’re right, we probably wouldn’t work. I’m a pretty simple guy. I like movies with explosions and, uh… evenings with the kids and… softballs on the weekends and pancakes at kelly’s afterwards and the occasional date night without the kids — dante, dante. Yeah. Stop talking. Okay. I don’t know what you’re talking about. Ship? What ship? Oh, come on, carly. Back in may, around the same time jason escaped from G.H., A ship carrying cargo for cyrus renault was sabotaged. I don’t recall that being widely publicized, so how do you know all the details? You ordered — you ordered the sinking of that ship, didn’t you? The loss of that ship rattled cyrus. He backed off, didn’t he? Yeah, because he knew you were the one that took it from. You’re the one responsible for the ship going down in the harbor, right? Jax, what are you doing? Kevin: Come in. Hey. Laura: Oh, hey, I’m sorry. Did I interrupt a session? No. Actually, ava was just telling me that nikolas now feels that spencer is… ava’s stalker. When did that happen? A-alright, look, I’ll talk to him when he comes back from dubai. Mm, there was no trip, laura. There’s no dubai. We saw him leave. You saw him

pretend to leave. It’s just a part of his plan to…trick spencer. To trick him? How? I don’t — I don’t really know the specifics of it, just that nikolas wants to give him a taste of his own medicine. That sounds ominous. That sounds like a mistake. I agree. I tried to talk him out of it. But nikolas thinks he can save spencer from himself, and he is so bullheaded, he doesn’t see that he’s going to make everything worse. Ryan? Hello? I found them! Spencer, what is going on? Ryan chamberlain just called me.

[ Scoffs ] Right. What? Whatever. Is this another surprise of yours? I don’t think this one’s going to go over well with your guests. I’m serious!

Are you, spencer? ‘Cause this really isn’t funny. He called. He said it was ryan chamberlain and that I had his attention and that it ends tonight. W-what ends tonight? I don’t know! But I know that it was ryan, and I recognized his voice. But how is that possible? I mean, ava said that ryan chamberlain’s basically paralyzed. All he can do is blink. And even if he could talk, he’s in prison. He can’t just call people. Dude, you’re slipping. Your pranks used to be way better thought out than this. I am not lying!

[ Screams ] Guys, what is that?

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Clears throat ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] Everything okay? Yeah, it’s unknown call. It’s probably just a telemarketer. Mm. Stupid telemarketers. Yeah. So, would you say that that was A… “maybe he is my type” kind of kiss? I don’t know. You figure it out. My professional opinion deduces that this — this was a date. Good work, detective. Of course, you know, maybe it is against the rules to date someone within the support group.

[ Laughs ] You mean, um… the support group that we made up? Yep. That — that just has two people? Yeah, that one. And we make the rules? Mm-hmm. So you think dating’s allowed? I’m definitely open to the proposition. Cameron: How the hell did that get there? Trina: It’s some kind of projection. Please tell me this is one of your surprises. No. Kostas, get in here! Where did that come from? That’s what I want to know. Who’s been in this house? No one. All the other entrances are locked. The only way in is through the front door, past me. Generator kicked in. I’m going to check the exterior of the house, look for any signs of a break-in. Lock up behind me.

[ Trina sighing ] This is bad, isn’t it? The writing on the fireplace, that is exactly what ryan said to me. “It ends tonight.” And then the phone went dead. Spencer, if this is another one of your stupid jokes, I promise I won’t be mad at you, but you need to admit it. Because my bodyguard does not mess around. And if he gets worried enough, he’s going to call for backup, and then we’re going to have a real problem. This is not a joke. If your bodyguard would like extra backup, good for him. Maybe it’ll discourage ryan or whoever is behind this.

[ Music playing, people clamoring in distance ] The party’s still going on outside. It seems like only the house was affected. No, you mean targeted. You know what? I’ve had enough of being a hostage for a lifetime. I’m calling the cops.

[ Sighs ] I can’t get a signal. Wait, me neither. Cam. I got nothing. We have a signal booster to get reception to the island. Uh, the power outage probably kicked it offline. Okay, so where is this booster? It’s in the sitting room. I’ll go. No! No, are you insane? Spencer, you’re getting creepy messages from ryan chamberlain, and you want to go wander off by yourself? Have you ever seen a horror movie? Do you want cell service or not? Fine. I’ll go with you. You probably don’t even know how to reboot it. Fine. Let’s go. Hey. Nikolas’ phone keeps going direct to voicemail. So does spencer’S. I wish you’d been able to talk to nikolas. He listens to you.

[ Chuckles ] Sometimes he listens to me, and sometimes he doesn’T. He’s, uh, got that really strong cassadine streak in him. Yeah, I’ve seen it, especially when he thinks he’s right. Yeah, but if he’s wrong about spencer, he could completely destroy his relationship with him. Yes, exactly. But nikolas was determined to confront spencer tonight. Well, not without me. You want to know what I’m doing? I’m worrying. A-and I’m — I’m not sleeping. You know, I’m having fantasies of — of grabbing josslyn and — and taking her to australia, the way I used to be able to do it when she was little and — and things got too hot for sonny. You used to understand that. Why — why can’t you now? Because josslyn’s 18, and she’s in college, and she has a boyfriend and family and friends here. You really think she’s going to move halfway around the world with you? No, I-I — of — of course not. I-I understand that. That’s why I need to know that you can keep her safe. Yes, as safe as anyone is. I-I don’t know what else to say to you, jax, okay? I can’t give you — I can’t give you guarantees. A-and I’ve said everything I can say. I need more than vague assurances, okay? You need to convince me. Oh, damn it, jax, I don’t know what you want me to say. I don’t know what magic words you want… to hear. Well, it would be good to know what you’ve already done to protect josslyn and what you’re willing to do in the future. That’s what would make me stop worrying and sleep at night. So tell me, carly. How bad is it?

Cameron, your ears must have been ringing, ’cause your grandmother and i were singing your praises. But you still need to call me back, no matter how much fun you’re having. Don’t make me be a nag. Call me back. Love you. Kostas? Josslyn: Should we look for him? Tony said for you to stay put. I don’t like this, cam. The party’s going on outside. No one even knows to miss us. My bodyguard is off somewhere. So is the head of security. Yeah, they could just be doing their jobs, or maybe they’ve been decoyed. I know what you’re thinking. I also want to believe that this is just a series of crazy coincidences instead of what it actually feels like — a trap. Okay, jax. As josslyn’s father, you should know everything, I-I’m going to tell you exactly what I’m going to do to protect josslyn. Carly. Wow. I can’t believe you would go this far. Can we still get a launch to spoon island? Yeah. Yeah, I don’t see why not. I’ll — I’ll make the call, and the launch will be waiting for you at the pier. You’re not going to come with us? No, I don’t think that’s a good idea. If spencer is the stalker, my presence there will only make things worse. And if he isn’t, I don’t want whoever is the stalker to see me going to wyndemere. That’s wise. Okay. I’ll call you, and I’ll let you know what happens. Yes, please. Thank you. Alright. Let’s get going. See you. Ava: Hi. I’d like to arrange for a launch to spoon island, please. So, do you, um, think you have time for another drink? I think I can be convinced to stay for another. Great. In that case, I’ll be right back. Okay.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Sam: Unknown caller?

[ Sighs ] Who is this?

Sam.

Sam, can you hear me? Drew? If I remember correctly, it should take about 5 to 10 minutes to completely reboot.

[ Explosion ]

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god. It’s okay. The fireworks are starting. That was my other surprise. I think I’m all surprised out. Let’s go out on the turret. We can watch while it finishes rebooting.

[ Fireworks popping ]

[ Crowd cheering ] Hope joss and cam can see it from the terrace windows. Yeah, I hope they enjoy it, and it calms them down, too. I don’t know what the hell is going on, but right now, we’re okay.

[ Fireworks popping, crowd cheering ]

Ashland: Thank you for meeting with me, jack.

Jack: I want to assure you, i have harrison’s best interest at heart always, as does kyle. We both love that little boy very much —

Ashland: I’ve thought long and hard about everyone’s position. Come to a decision about harrison’s future. Kyle has tried phoning me multiple times, but we have not been able to connect.

Jack: Yeah, the seven-hour time difference with milan is a challenge.

Ashland: Yeah, yeah, I’m sure that’s part of it. Why don’t you see if you can call him now so I can tell you both what I’ve decided is the best way forward for my son?

Billy: Ah, you again.

Victoria: What’s up?

Billy: Just grabbing a coffee on my way to work. Picked up the kids at camp and dropped them off at home.

Victoria: Did they have fun today?

Billy: I would say they had fun. Johnny learned how to throw a curve ball, and katie created a masterpiece for the fridge.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] So, did they mention the big news that I delivered this morning during my visit?

Billy: Big news? Right, your wedding to ashland.

Victoria: Yes.

Billy: Yeah.

Victoria: I mean, I assume that’s why you made the effort to pick them up instead of sending hannah.

Billy: They mentioned it, yeah, briefly.

Victoria: What did they say?

Billy: Well, katie was wondering if she was gonna be able to be a flower girl, and johnny was hoping that the wedding cake would be chocolate.

Victoria: Okay, so here I am, worried that they’re gonna be upset about this big change in their life, and all they care about is the ceremony.

Billy: I mean, I do think johnny’s onto something, ’cause there’s gonna be high expectations for a newman-locke wedding, and that cake better be good. And just a tip…

Victoria: Yes?

Billy: …Five-layer cake, fancy, you know, icing — they usually taste like cardboard.

Victoria: I’ll keep that in mind.

Billy: Look, they’re kids, okay? They’re in their own world. They’re gonna ask questions, and when they do, we’ll handle it together like we always do.

Victoria: Thank you for that.

Billy: How was ashland’s first treatment?

Victoria: Well, you know, he had some side effects, but nothing unexpected. Thank you for asking.

Billy: I know you were relieved that he decided to get chemo.

Victoria: Yes, he has a whole new outlook on life. Seems much more positive. And I’m hopeful. I think that this will give him more time, which means we’ll have more time together.

Billy: A lot of big things going on in your life. Giant merger with locke communications group, falling in love with the man that built it, and then planning a wedding with him all in a short amount of time.

Victoria: You make it sound like I should be worried about those things.

[ Knock on door ]

Devon: Knock-knock.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Lily: Come on in.

Devon: Sure you’re not too busy?

Lily: Uh, no. Uh, no, no. Actually, I could use a break. So, uh, can I get you anything? Water? Coffee?

Devon: Nah, I’m fine. Thank you.

Lily: What’s, uh — what’s going on? You seem a little upset.

Devon: [ Sighs ] Yeah. I was — I was on my way to abby’s, and the closer I got, the more frustrated I was getting. So I figured I probably wasn’t in a good headspace to visit anybody. And I stopped off here, and now I’m bugging you on your workday. I’m sorry.

Lily: No, you’re not bugging me. This is what I’m here for, to talk things out, you know, get some clarity. So what’s going on? Lay it on me.

Jack: I just texted kyle, asked if he was available for a video call. He is very eager to hear what you have to say, as am I.

Ashland: Well, it’ll be good to have this settled.

[ Clicks tongue ]

Jack: There are a lot of moving parts.

Ashland: Tara’s arrest and kyle’s leaving the country has thrown everything into chaos.

Jack: I-I know those were unexpected.

Ashland: There’s no easy answer here, jack, no one solution that’ll satisfy everyone. We can’t look at this as some cut-and-dried business deal where we simply do what we need to do to get what we want. It isn’t fair. And neither is life, for that matter, as I’ve been so constantly reminded of recently. But this is not about me. A boy’s future and well-being are at stake here.

[ Ringing ]

Jack: That would be kyle. Hi, son. Thank you for being available so quickly.

Kyle: No problem. Is ashland there?

Ashland: I am.

Kyle: Ashland, hi. How are you?

Ashland: I’ve been better.

Kyle: What have you decided about harrison, his living arrangements?

Lily: So mariah’s still out of town?

Devon: Oh, mariah is completely off the radar.

Lily: Even at jabot?

Devon: Even at jabot. She hasn’t called anybody at her job. And jack said that if she doesn’t come back soon, he’s gonna be forced to find a new director of marketing.

Lily: Wow. Has she been in contact with anyone?

Devon: Just through vague texts saying she needs more time.

Lily: Well, maybe she’s having second thoughts about being the surrogate.

Devon: She didn’t come out and say that, but you can kind of infer it from the messages she’s been sending tessa and abby, saying to basically back off and stop pressuring her.

Lily: That doesn’t even sound like mariah.

Devon: Oh, I know it doesn’t sound like her, which is why I’m worried. This is — this couldn’t be farther from her character, to take on a responsibility that’s this big, like carrying someone’s child, and just vanish without saying anything. Rey even thinks it’s time to start investigating.

Lily: Wait, it’s that serious where the police are involved?

Devon: Yes. A couple weeks ago, she sent abby a text promising to be back in town by her next check-up. The day the check-up comes, she sends a message saying, “I can’t make it. I’m not ready to face the doctors.”

Lily: Well, I mean, maybe she’s feeling overwhelmed.

Devon: I mean, that’s possible. I know that mariah has an independent streak, and she likes to take care of herself, but something doesn’t feel right to me. And even tessa agrees. I mean, she knows her better than anybody else, and she can’t believe that mariah would just leave town and not tell her anything.

Lily: Well, has rey found anything out?

Devon: Yeah. I spoke to sharon before I got here. She said that they can’t trace mariah’s cellphone because something is scrambling the signal.

Lily: Okay, that’s weird.

Devon: And she hasn’t used any credit cards, debit cards, or made any phone calls in weeks. She’s only sent these text messages.

Lily: [ Sighs ] How’s abby doing?

Devon: She’s — she’s doing amazing, considering her husband isn’t here and has no idea what the hell’s going on about anything. You know, she’s doing her best to stay confident and to stay positive, and she says that she understands that chance has this type of job. It’s unpredictable, and, you know, she knows the work’s important.

Lily: I mean, I don’t know. That sounds a little too understanding.

Devon: Yeah, I know. I’d say so, too, ’cause you can say all those things, which she does, but you can tell that it’s killing her. This whole thing has been such an ordeal that, with chance being gone, she’s basically had to deal with it completely alone.

Lily: Yeah, but she’s not completely alone. I mean, she has friends and family around her to love and support her, including you. Unless are — are you having second thoughts about getting involved?

Victoria: You think I’m making a mistake marrying ashland, don’t you?

Billy: I’ve voiced my concerns, you heard them, and now I’m just doing my best to try and be supportive.

Victoria: Yes, billy, you’re saying all the right words, but I know you. So why don’t you just say what’s on your mind?

Billy: Okay. I think maybe, deep down, you are worried that you’re making a mistake and you’re using me to voice your fears.

Victoria: Don’t be absurd. I don’t have all the worries and doubts that you’ve cooked up in your frenzied imagination.

Billy: Well, then, I guess we’re both jumping to conclusions, then.

Ashland: Once tara admitted you’d had an affair, I was furious with both of you. But one good thing came out of all that drama. I learned what kind of woman that tara truly was, what ugliness she was capable of. Threatening to take away your child unless your fiancée broke up with you and moved abroad, i mean, for tara, that is business as usual. Smooth landing for summer, though. She ended up with a dream job.

Kyle: After what tara and sally put us through —

Jack: I hope you’re not planning on punishing kyle for being there to support the woman he loves and her career in a job you helped line up for her.

Kyle: It doesn’t mean I love harrison any less.

Ashland: Uh, I don’t know if jack has told you, uh, that i started treatments today. It could extend my life, which is what I’m hoping for. But if the treatments have no effect, I could be dead in a matter of months, and the thought of that has made me more determined to spend what time i have left with harrison, knowing that you will be able to spend all the time in the world with him once I’m gone.

Kyle: I can see where you’re going with this.

Ashland: Alright, don’t — don’t be too sure. The fact that I am dying is double-edged. Being with harrison and watching him grow up for the little time that I have is only possible if I survive the treatments and the cancer goes into remission.

Jack: How did things go this morning?

Ashland: The chemo went just fine, but I’ve been feeling like crap ever since.

Kyle: Sorry.

Ashland: Well, I’m told it could get worse, much worse, and that day in the park, when I had the shortness of breath, and i saw the look in harrison’s eyes, the kid was terrified. And I can’t stand the idea of putting him through what would happen if — when things got really bad.

Jack: Harrison is always welcome to stay here, where he’s comfortable, where he has a routine, and I could arrange visitation the both of you agree upon.

Ashland: It’s a possibility i have considered, but I rejected it.

[ Sighs ] With harrison’s mom gone, he is going to need a father, a full-time parent, which I am unable to do at this point. So I’ve decided that he should come and live with you in italy. Get more joy out of your shower

Ashland: Harrison will go to live with you and summer in milan, and, between treatments, I will come and visit if I am feeling strong enough. Or perhaps we can meet in between in new york. This way, I could visit with harrison in the place where he feels safe and knows best. That might be the easiest solution for all of us.

Kyle: Yes, yes, that’s an excellent plan.

Jack: I want you to know i appreciate your ability and willingness to see this from all angles.

Ashland: I only have two stipulations going forward with this.

Kyle: Name them.

Ashland: First, I want you to keep me alive in harrison’s mind. I’ll make video calls and send letters and gifts, but I want the freedom to visit anytime my health allows.

Kyle: Done. I’ll do everything I can to keep you a strong presence in harrison’s life because that’s what’s best for him, knowing he has lots of people who love him, even if he can’t see them every day.

Ashland: Secondly, whatever tara has done, she’s still his mother, and he adores her. She’ll have to be allowed to see him. That said, there will be strict protocols in place.

Kyle: Such as?

Ashland: Tara’s out on bail. Could be months before her trial, but she cannot leave the state of new york. And if and when you come to visit in new york and meet me there, I want to make sure there are rules in place for when tara can see him — strictly supervised, of course.

Jack: I understand. That makes all the sense in the world to me.

Kyle: I can set my own anger with her aside to do what you’re asking. My more immediate concern is for harrison, how he’s going to feel when he learns his mom has been arrested. Who’s handling that? What’s he gonna be told?

Ashland: As tough as it may be, I do think we need to tell him the truth, a version that he can grasp, something along the lines of, “mommy’s on a long-term timeout for what she’s done. Mommy broke the law. Mommy’s got to pay for the consequences of her actions.” Something like that.

Jack: Forgive me, perhaps we could couch that in a way that’s a little less harsh.

Ashland: Lying to the boy now, when eventually he will realize what really happened, could be worse. As young as harrison is, he’s a very smart boy. He’ll know that there are restrictions being put on his mommy when he and she visit together. Any deception will be internalized as to why, even though he can’t articulate it. These are the kind of things that create distance and mistrust in a child.

Kyle: I agree. 100%.

Jack: Yeah, I-I see your point now.

Ashland: Okay, then it’s settled.

Kyle: I promise to be the best father I can to harrison. I’ll continue to work with you so that he knows he’ll always be loved and taken care of and protected. ‘Cause to me, that’s the most important thing.

Devon: I do not regret stepping up for abby and chance one bit, okay? They went through hell after they got married, and they deserve to be able to start a family. So I was happy to be able to help them, and I still am.

Lily: Okay, then why did you feel the need to talk things out with me before you went to go see abby?

Devon: Because I was — I was upset — i am upset that I know chance is a good guy. Like, I know that he’s that. I know he has his honorable job where he’s saving people’s lives and he’s a hero and all that. I get it. But, at the same time, he made a commitment to start a family with my best friend and, you know, told her to move forward with the surrogacy and told her that he’s gonna be home soon. He chose to take the case after they already decided to let mariah go ahead and carry the baby. So you know that you’re going into this situation with your brand-new wife. You know you have this insanely unpredictable job. It feels like he’s choosing his work over the responsibility to his family. Is now a good time for a flare-up?

Lily: Okay, please tell me that you have not breathed a word of this to abby or even hinted at how you feel.

Devon: No, I know this stays between us. That’s why I’m telling you. I wouldn’t say that to her.

Lily: Okay, good, ’cause i think she has enough to deal with than having to listen to people criticize her husband for the choices that he’s made.

Devon: I understand that. I know better. I just — I get frustrated when I see how much it affects her. She stopped making those videos for chance just ’cause she’s worried that he’s gonna catch on to how distraught she is.

Lily: Aw, that’s sad.

Devon: I know it’s sad. Her husband isn’t even here, and she feels like she has to hide her feelings from him. It’s not okay.

Lily: Well, like you said, she knew was she was getting into when she married him.

Devon: No, you’re right. And, listen, I’m — I’m more upset at the situation than I am at chance. I know he’s doing everything he can right now. He doesn’t even know what’s going on with mariah.

Lily: Yeah, and, look, i think it’s really important that abby have faith in her husband right now, especially if she’s feeling abandoned ’cause I think it’ll make it even harder for her to understand that maybe mariah just needs some space right now, which I am really hoping that’s all that this is.

Devon: Yeah, I hope you’re right.

Lily: And chance would be here if he could, you know? And I’m just gonna have good thoughts that mariah will come home when she’s ready, and hopefully abby will, too. And in the meantime, just keep being the amazing friend that you are ’cause this baby will need you in his support unit when he arrives.

Devon: I just wish there was more I could do.

Victoria: Just listen to us, trying to psychoanalyze each other, like the amateurs that we are.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, we’re funny, aren’t we? Although you know what? Maybe there’s something there to examine.

Victoria: Oh. Well, by all means, please enlighten me.

Billy: Well, I’m talking about us as exes. Maybe we’ve finally found that sweet spot.

Victoria: Meaning?

Billy: Meaning we have a lot of history. And we’ve both moved on. And we’re both happy with our lives, so maybe we are able to challenge each other and hold each other accountable in a way that’s not —

Victoria: Not toxic.

Billy: Maybe even healthy. Look, nobody knows each other like we do. And I’m hoping that we can keep it real, say it like it is, be honest with each other, and still be aware that whatever we say to each other is taken in the spirit in which it was meant.

Victoria: Yeah, you know, i think that the technical term for that is called being friends.

[ Both chuckle ] But all kidding aside, I hope you’re right. I hope that you and I really have gotten to that place.

Billy: Me too.

Ashland: One final request. I would like to be the one to explain this to harrison. I don’t want him to think that I’m abandoning him.

Kyle: By all means.

Jack: He is upstairs right now in his room with the nanny doing some drawing.

Ashland: I’ll go talk to him then.

Kyle: Wow. [ Chuckles ]

Jack: Wow, indeed. Boy, that wasn’t easy for him. Given his volatile temperament, I didn’t know what to expect.

Kyle: Neither did I. I’m blown away. I refused to let myself hope that he could put everything else aside and allow harrison to come live with me, and now that he has…dad, I can’t wait to see my son.

Jack: So, how are you feeling about everything else? You’ve made some pretty big decisions — moving to italy, putting things back together with summer. Now you’re gonna add to that being a full-time father.

Kyle: I made the right decision, no doubt, even though it’s difficult being away from all of you. Plus — let’s be honest — even as much as summer enjoys harrison, it’s gonna be an adjustment for her.

Jack: I’m confident you’ll both work your way through it.

Kyle: How are you feeling about all of this?

Jack: To be honest, it’s — it’s bittersweet. I mean, we’ll work out the stuff about you doing jabot work in milan, but on a personal level, I already miss you like crazy.

Kyle: And you’ll miss harrison like crazy.

[ Chuckles ]

Jack: This is what’s best for him. I will cope.

Kyle: Summer and I needed a fresh start. And you’ll see us before long. I want you to be the one to bring harrison to milan.

Jack: There’s nothing I would like better. Ok everyone, our mission is to provide complete,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Ashland: [ Exhales heavily ]

Jack: How did it go with harrison?

Ashland: Well, it was harder for me than it was for him. He seemed to take it all in stride.

Jack: Well, I’m glad to hear that, for his sake.

Ashland: Some kids are able to view change as adventure. I was like that.

[ Chuckles ] Adaptable. You know, it really puts my mind and my heart at ease knowing that he is in your and your family’s capable hands.

Jack: Well, thank you. I want you to know I — i realize what a difficult half a year this has been for you. Finding out about the paternity, tara’s arrest, the divorce, now your illness. Whatever brings you happiness, I’d say that’s a good thing.

Ashland: Victoria does that. She is the bring light that has pulled me out of the darkness and gloom of this awful year, someone who has brought me more joy and happiness than I ever thought possible.

Jack: I’ve known victoria all her life. She’s a keeper. Hold on tight.

Ashland: Oh, trust me. I intend to.

Victoria: So, let me know when the org chart is finalized, and you can run it past me. Then we’ll set up a meeting. Okay. Super, dave. Great.

Devon: Victoria.

Victoria: Well, hello, stranger.

Devon: How you doing?

Victoria: Good. It’s going well. You know, I’ve just been so busy with the details of the merger and, you know, all of my personal stuff, I really haven’t had a chance to keep up with anyone.

Devon: Oh, don’t worry about it. It’s okay. It’s all good.

Victoria: You know, seeing you reminds me that I haven’t checked in with abby about the baby in a while.

Devon: I’m sure your sister understand you have a lot on your plate these days, so it’s okay.

Victoria: Any word about chance and when he might be home?

Devon: Not a word.

Victoria: Oh, gosh, that’s got to be tough on her. He’s been gone so long. I, um — I definitely need to call her and check in.

Devon: She would really appreciate if you did that, you know. I actually just got back from visiting with lily, and it reminded me how nice it is to have a sister that you can talk to, you know?

Victoria: I have to tell you, she has been such a life-saver to me.

Devon: Lily has?

Victoria: Yeah. I mean, she’s just stepped up in a major way, you know, taking on a larger role with the kids while I focus on ashland and his medical issues. I’m just really grateful to her and billy.

Devon: Well, that’s very kind of you to say that. I know she loves those kids, too, so I’m sure she doesn’t mind having them around.

Victoria: Oh, still. I mean, any other woman in her shoes wouldn’t be so accommodating. It speaks to the kind of person that she is and the great place that she and billy are in.

Lily: Mmm.

Billy: [ Chuckles ]

Lily: I see you remembered the extra shot this time.

Billy: Thought you could use a treat this afternoon.

Lily: Ah. You trying to butter me up or something?

Billy: Actually, I did run into victoria at crimson lights. We had an interesting chat.

Lily: Oh, okay. That could be code for a lot of things.

Billy: Yeah. Well, you know, we were standing there, and — I’m sorry. Do you want me to skip the gory details?

Lily: No! No. I want to hear everything. I love hearing you ruminate about your ex.

Billy: Okay, I’m gonna up now.

Lily: Oh, stop. I’m kidding.

Billy: No, it’s — it was interesting. We were — we were standing there talking, and then it kind of just dawned on me, some of the things that we were saying to each other. They were still, you know, a little bit brutal, but they were honest, and we were open. And the conversation didn’t spiral into something weird or into some kind of argument. Or maybe we were just projecting our own insecurities on each other. I don’t know.

Lily: Wow. That’s some professional-grade analysis.

Billy: Yeah, victoria made the same joke, something about us being shrinks? Something like that.

Lily: Ah, great minds.

Billy: Is my time up, or can I keep going?

Lily: No, I mean, look, I’ll be honest. It is asking a lot for me to always help you figure out where things stand with her.

Billy: I understand that. I do. But I think this is a good thing. I mean, we’re working towards some kind of healthy equilibrium.

Lily: Mm. You know what I think?

Billy: Tell me.

Lily: I think that you and victoria kind of like having things unresolved between you two. Helps you feed off the competitive vibe.

Billy: You know what? There might be something to that. Age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss,

Jack: What time will you have the jet ready for the trip to milan? Yeah. Two passengers. Great. I will see you then.

Devon: Hey, jack.

Jack: Hey! How are you?

Devon: Good, man. Sounds like someone’s taking a trip.

Jack: Yes, I am, actually tonight.

Devon: Taking the red eye to italy. Must be a story there.

Jack: Oh, it is the most amazing story. Kyle and summer are back together.

Devon: Really? Good for them.

Jack: Long story short, kyle has decided to join summer in milan permanently.

Devon: Kyle’s gonna move to europe?

Jack: He is starting a whole new life there, and he wanted his young son, harrison, to be part of that new life. But it hinged on ashland locke and just how contentious he wanted to make things. The outcome was not what we expected.

Devon: Wow, you guys thought locke would put up roadblocks?

Jack: Say what you will about the man’s business tactics. He truly loves that little boy. Kyle and I were all but certain he would insist that the child live with him, but to our surprise and great delight, he agreed with us. The best thing for harrison would be to live with kyle in milan. That way, he’d have a full-time father while ashland fights his cancer.

Devon: Wow. That’s a — it’s a huge sacrifice. From what I hear, the guy is in pretty bad shape.

Jack: He did not want to traumatize harrison if his treatment failed, if things started to go south, so he put his own desires aside and did what was best for the boy.

Devon: That’s what you do when you’re a good parent — you look at the big picture and you put your kid’s needs first. I wish somebody I knew understood that.

Jack: Who are we talking about now?

[ Keys jangle, clatter ]

Victoria: Hey. How did it go at the abbott’s?

Ashland: Well, it’s done. Jack got kyle on the phone, and, uh, they agreed to my terms. And then I talked to harrison.

Victoria: How did he react when you told him about going to live in italy?

Ashland: Well, he wanted to know if he was still gonna be able to see me, and I said… I’d visit as often as I could, you know, whenever I’m feeling strong enough. It’s a hell of a thing to try and explain to a 3-year-old.

Victoria: Gosh, that must have been one of the most selfless and hardest things you’ve ever had to do.

Ashland: It’s up there.

Victoria: I have never respected you more than I do right now.

Ashland: [ Sighs ] Well, I had to go with what i knew in my heart was best for harrison, then take my ego out of the equation.

Victoria: It says a lot about who you are that you were able to do it — and with such grace.

Ashland: You know, I’m looking at my life these days from a different perspective, thanks to you.

Victoria: No, you — you keep trying to give me the credit, but you’re the one doing all the work.

Ashland: You know, you need to learn to take a compliment.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] You’ve been thrown so many curves, things that would make most people angry and bitter. And you just — you look at it as a growing experience. I’m in awe of that.

Ashland: [ Sighs ]

Victoria: I have known a lot of people who thought that they could change, and when the chips were down, they couldn’t or they wouldn’T. But you’ve redefined your life. You made that choice, and I — I — I love you for that.

Billy: [ Clicks tongue ] You might be onto something here. Okay, hear me out, alright? A series of online essays where we talk about the insanity and/or maturity of past relationships.

Lily: Wait. What?

Billy: Think about this — a fascinating conversation with one of our journalists and a slew of celebrities, and they talk about their current connections to their past lovers.

Lily: Well, that’s been done before.

Billy: Okay, then we —

[ Sighs ] We zoom in a little bit. We make it about genoa city how do people do it here? How do you constantly run into people from your past and still find a way to communicate? I mean, it’s a small town. And we can call it “the ghosts of love.” Right? And forget the journalist. We need somebody that people are gonna really listen to and open up to and someone that’s gonna put them at ease, and I know the perfect person for that — you. You would be fantastic at this.

Lily: Mm. Yeah, I mean, it’s a decent idea, but, man, oh, man, this has got to be one of the best dodges I have ever seen you pull.

Billy: Well, that is my superpower.

Lily: Oh, no, no, I’m not speaking hypothetically. I really think that, secretly, you and victoria don’t want to resolve your issues.

Billy: Okay. And I think that maybe you are still looking for that conflict because you are afraid of a real commitment.

Lily: A real commitment? Are you kidding me? I have done nothing but show how committed I am. So, someone is in denial here, and it is not me.

Billy: [ Sighs ] Diy means having the right tools.

Devon: You know, I just — I’ve been thinking a lot about chance and this never-ending case he seems to be on and just about how much he’s missed being away.

Jack: Yeah, I know. He’s not the only one. Listen, no one at jabot has heard from mariah. Have you or anyone else?

Devon: Just more texts that don’t tell us where she is or when she’s coming home.

Jack: Poor abby. I don’t know how she’s holding it all together.

Devon: She’s strong, but we’re all being there for her. Listen, I don’t want to take up any more of your time. I know you have a big flight to get ready for.

Jack: Yeah, traveling with a toddler does have its challenges.

Devon: I can imagine. But it is very cool how you get to spend this time with your grandson, you know? It’s like you guys are embarking on an adventure together.

Jack: Yeah. Yeah, it does feel like an adventure. Listen, great seeing you.

Devon: You too, sir.

Jack: I’ll talk to you soon.

Devon: Safe travels. Hey. It’s devon. I know that you’re busy, so I’m gonna get right to it. I need a favor, um, and it’s something that’s pretty important.

Billy: Actually, I think you’re right.

Lily: About you being in denial?

Billy: I love you, okay? I do. You are my future. There’s no one else.

Lily: But you just said that —

Billy: I said that I am not in denial about my relationship with victoria. She is the mother of my children. I get to have an opinion about the choices that she makes in her life, especially if it can affect my kids.

Lily: I know, but do you really expect me to believe this is only out of concern for your children?

Billy: Not only, no.

Ashland: I have evolved as a human being in more ways than I — I thought possible. And whether or not you choose to acknowledge it, it is due to your influence.

Victoria: Ashland —

Ashland: I look at my life in such a different way now. First and foremost, I want to make the most out of every day that I have left.

Victoria: And I’m gonna be right there, right by your side, cheering you on.

Ashland: Well, I expect you to do more than just cheer.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Okay, fine. What is my first assignment?

Ashland: I need you to help me pick a date out for our wedding.

Billy: I have been trying very hard to convince myself that victoria is doing the right thing by marrying ashland. You know, they have a lot in common. They’re alike. She’s fully aware of what she’s getting herself into, but the truth is, that would be me living in denial.

Lily: Because…?

Billy: Because, as hard as i try to make myself believe that all those things are true, it is me ignoring every instinct i have.

Ashland: I want to be past the first round of chemo when it happens, but not so far out in case the treatments aren’t successful.

Victoria: They will be. I’m sure of it.

Ashland: Well, then it’ll give us one more thing to celebrate once we are officially husband and wife.

Billy: Victoria marrying ashland — it’s a mistake. It’s maybe the biggest mistake victoria will ever make in her life.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Xander: You’ve got this all backwards, mate. I wasn’t helping gwen out of a jam. She was helping me.

Jack: Now I really don’t know what’s going on.

Gwen: I-I don’t know either. What I was trying to tell you is that I’m–

Xander: Snyder was my business partner. He figured out a way to nick drugs from the hospital, and I handled distribution. The one who was dealing was me. Not gwen.

Ciara: I love you, ben.

Ben: I love you, too.

Shawn: Hands in the air! Look, ciara, are you all right?

Ciara: Yes. Yes, I’m fine. Please, just put the gun down.

Theo: Ciara. Thank god you’re all right! I-I was going crazy worrying about you. Oh, my god.

Lani: You don’t even know if that tip aunt paulina got was legit. Dad, people will say anything for that kind of money she was offering. I mean, shawn and theo are probably on a wild goose chase right now.

Eli: No, they’re not.

Lani: What happened?

Eli: Shawn radioed in. He and theo are at a cabin in the woods with a limo parked in front of it. And guess what? The limo–it has the same plates as the one that ben rented.

Lani: That’s great.

Eli: Yeah. They’re probably rescuing ciara right now. Abe: Thanks to paulina.

Paulina: Someday–maybe someday you’ll forgive me.

[Knock at door] Lani? What the hell are you doing here?

Olivia: Excuse me? Is that how you greet your mama?

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

[Soft orchestration]

Theo: Are you all right? I mean, when you didn’t come home last night, I thought it was because he hurt you.

Ciara: I’m fine. Theo, I’m fine. I really am.

Shawn: Ah, there’s no cell service out here. Just–all right, I’m going to go radio in, all right? I’ll be back.

Theo: What the hell is wrong with you? Kidnapping her on her wedding day?

Ben: I needed her to remember how much she loved me.

Theo: You can’t make someone remember you just because you want them to. She doesn’t remember you, ben! She can’t even figure out why she was ever with you!

Ciara: Theo, let me explain. Ben did take me here against my will, and I was furious.

Theo: You see?

Ciara: No, please, let me finish. The reason why I didn’t come home last night was because ben fell. He hurt his ankle. And he couldn’t move around on his own.

Theo: Oh, my heart bleeds, ben.

Ciara: Please–this cabin it’s where ben took me after I spun out on my motorcycle. And it’s where he and i got to know each other. And being here, theo, it brought my memory back.

Theo: It did?

Ciara: Yeah. I remember how much I love ben.

[Dramatic music]

Lani: I’m glad that tip was right, dad, and ciara is safe, but we would’ve tracked her down without aunt paulina just butting in and flashing her money around. Look, she’s trying to buy our forgiveness. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have lifted a finger to help ciara.

Abe: You know, I think she was genuinely trying to help your brother. Don’t you think she saved the department some time?

Eli: Probably.

Abe: You know, I’m grateful for that.

Lani: Great. She wins again.

Abe: Oh, honey–

Lani: No, dad, this is what she does. And–why can’t you see it?

Abe: You know, you have made me aware, sweetheart, of what she did to you in the past. But isn’t it possible that now, in the present, she’s trying to make it up to you?

Paulina: I’m sorry for disrespecting you.

Olivia: I raised you better than that.

Paulina: I said I was sorry! I’m–I’m just surprised to see you, is all. And I just got this place. I didn’t think you knew the address.

Olivia: I got it from your assistant.

Paulina: Mary? She told you where I am? You know, one thing I don’t like about her is her big mouth.

Olivia: I think mary is a very fine person. She was so kind and helpful to me.

Paulina: Hmm, was she?

Olivia: She even booked my plane ticket. First-class. It’s nice up there in the front of the plane.

Paulina: I’ll bet you I know who paid for your seat.

Olivia: What?

Paulina: I said that I didn’t know that you were well enough to travel.

Olivia: I’m not, but I had to get here anyway after I talked to your sister.

Paulina: Oh really? Ooh, pray tell, what did tammy have to say?

Olivia: Oh, don’t you “pray tell” me! And don’t try to play innocent either. Are you going to take this bag and invite your mama in? Or do I have to stand out here like some vagrant?

Paulina: Do I have a choice?

Olivia: No, I don’t suppose you do.

[Mellow jazz music]

Pool floaties are like whooping cough.

Gwen: I can explain.

Xander: Gwen didn’t know that she was delivering drugs. The envelopes I gave her were sealed. I told her where to take them. She had no idea she was up to something illegal.

Jack: I don’t understand.

Xander: I tricked her. I told her that they were documents for a business deal. So take it out on me, not her. Gwen didn’t know what I was having her do.

Olivia: This is some fancy apartment you got here.

Paulina: Here you go. Nice and sweet, just like you like. I’m glad you like the place.

Olivia: Did I say I liked it?

[Uneasy jazz music]

You poured the whole sugar bowl in here!

Paulina: Well, don’t drink it, then. Nobody’s pointing a gun to your head. You know, in fact, you can just turn yourself around and get on a first-class plane right back all the way to miami.

Olivia: I’m not going anywhere until you tell me what you’re doing here.

Paulina: I don’t know what you mean.

Olivia: You know just what i mean. Your sister is furious with you, and I don’t blame her. She wants you far away from lani, and so do I.

Lani: Dad, I just don’t want paulina to hurt you again.

Eli: She’s really worried about that, abe. And she knows what paulina can do better than you do.

Abe: I’m a big boy now. I can take care of myself.

Lani: Fine. But when she starts making fancy promises to you, like, say a trip to paris, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Theo: You don’t love him! You can’t! I mean, he must’ve brainwashed you or something! Shawn, you have to arrest him! Get him away from your sister!

Ciara: Okay. Hey, theo, I am not brainwashed. I did block out a huge chunk of time, but it wasn’t to block out ben. It was because the people who hated him wanted to hurt me. Ben brought me here because he wanted to help me. He knew that I’d be happier once I got my memory back. And he was right.

Theo: So–so you love him? Not me?

Ciara: I need to talk to theo alone for a minute.

Shawn: Hey, why don’t you and I go outside?

Ben: I can’T.

Shawn: I mean, come on. I mean, you can at least give them a little bit of privacy–

Ben: I mean, I literally can’t; I fell yesterday. I mean, I busted my ankle.

Ciara: It’s okay. Theo and I will go outside. Please?

[Tender music]

As someone who resembles someone else…

Shawn: Look, I know how much you love my sister. Okay, but what if your plan didn’t work out, ben? What if it didn’t work out the way that you wanted it to? What would happen if ciara were catatonic right now?

Ben: Shawn, you saw her. That didn’t happen.

Shawn: Yeah, you’re lucky it didn’T. Oh, and by the way, claire and allie? They spent the last night in jail, so–

Ben: Wait, what?

Shawn: Yeah, there were two police officers and the mayor at that wedding that didn’t happen. All right, the girls confessed to helping you trick ciara, which means that they are aiding and abetting a kidnapping. Lani gave them a chance to make statements, but they refused.

Ben: You’re kidding me, right?

Shawn: No. The da–the da charged them, and I had to arrest my own daughter and my cousin. So let’s just say that yesterday wasn’t exactly a good day, ben! Not at all!

Ben: Listen, I am sorry, brother, seriously. I never told them to keep quiet. I honestly expected that they were the ones that gave me up. I thought that’s how you found us.

Shawn: You thought wrong. And if they haven’t made bail yet, that means they’re still sitting there in that cell.

Ben: Those charges have to be dropped. This whole thing was my idea. I talked them into helping me, okay? I take full responsibility for this.

Shawn: Look, I hope so. Oh, and by the way, that was a cute trick. Yeah, getting claire to walk down the aisle with that big heavy veil on. Really?

Ben: Look, man, I really am sorry about everything else. I didn’t want to trick ciara, but I had to get her up here. That was the only way I could do it. And to be honest with you, man, I’d do it all over again because it worked. She remembers how much she loves me now. It worked.

Shawn: Yeah, I know. I heard her.

Ben: Hey, she belongs with me, shawn.

Shawn: And she agrees with you. And so do I. But it’s just sad that a good guy like theo had to get torn to shreds in the process.

Ciara: Theo, I- I can’t even begin to tell you how sorry I am.

Theo: It’s not you. It’s–it’s ben.

Ciara: No. Theo, it’s me. When I woke up in the hospital, after they had found me, I was confused, and I was scared, and you–you made me feel like I was safe again. I feel like I used you.

Theo: It didn’t feel that way to me. I liked taking care of you. And ben was acting crazy. I mean–

Ciara: I was his wife. And he loved me. He was afraid he’d lost me. And I love him, too, theo. I remember now.

Theo: How can you love a guy who’s killed three people?

Ciara: He wasn’t sane when he did those things. And he’s never ever gonna forgive himself for it.

Theo: But you can?

Ciara: I love the person he was before he got sick and the man he became after he got better. Theo, I love you too.

Theo: Just not in the same way, right? What did he even do to make you remember?

Ciara: He gave me a fortune cookie.

Theo: That’s all it took?

Ciara: Marlena told him that small things can trigger big memories, and that is exactly what happened. All of the memories of how in love we were and all of the feelings, theo, they all came rushing back. Theo, you are the last person in this world that I would ever want to hurt, and I really, really wish it didn’t have to be this way.

Theo: I-I guess I knew you’d remember someday. I just thought that I could make you love me enough that it wouldn’t matter.

Ciara: Theo, I’m so sorry!

[Melancholy music]

Eli: Shawn radioed in. He and theo are with ciara and ben. Ciara is fine.

Abe: Oh. Thank god. I wonder how theo is.

Lani: Yeah. And I wonder what this means for him and their wedding.

Paulina: You know what lani means to me! I love that girl!

Olivia: And she loves eli. But your love for lani didn’t stop you from trying to bulldoze the town square that his family built.

Paulina: I made a mistake. I’m trying to make up for it now.

Olivia: By writing checks?

Paulina: Did you come all the way here just to give me the same old lectures? Lani will come around, I know, I know she will. So will abe.

Olivia: Would that be abraham carver, your sister’s man?

Paulina: Oh, is that what tammy’s getting all worked up about? She and abe–they were over a long, long time ago.

Olivia: You know well and good that that is not what this is about. You made a promise to tamara a long time ago, and you broke that promise. And I’m here to stop you before you break anything else.

Paulina: If tammy’s got a problem with me, she’s a big girl. She can tell me herself.

Olivia: I said I’d tell you, and I don’t want any backtalk. You just get yourself packed and move on back home. You had no business coming to this town in the first place.

Eli: Shawn didn’t give me any of the details. Babe, we should probably get going home. The sitter said she can’t stay late today.

Abe: Look, you two go ahead. I’m going to try to reach shawn. I want to know what’s going on at that cabin.

Lani: As soon as you find out how theo is, please let me know.

Abe: Of course I will. I’ll see you.

Lani: Take care of yourself, okay?

Abe: Yeah.

Lani: I love you, dad.

Abe: I love you.

Theo: I remember the day I picked this out. I was so happy. I remember thinking, “I’m going to marry the woman that I love. My best friend.”

[Tender music]

Ciara: You’re going to find a woman who loves you the way that you deserve to be loved, theo.

Theo: Right now, I can’t imagine loving anyone other than you.

Ciara: I understand. But someday maybe–

Theo: Tell shawn I’m going to meet him in the car.

Ciara: Theo! Can I at least give you a hug? Please?

Theo: Maybe someday… but not now.

Ben: How’s theo doing?

Ciara: How do you think? He said he will wait for you in the car. Don’t just drop him off anywhere, no matter what he says. Take him to abe’s or lani’S.

Shawn: I got it. I won’t leave him alone. So, in regards to yesterday, I’m gonna assume that you’re not pressing charges, right?

Ciara: I mean, I wasn’t really kidnapped. It was more of an intervention. I never want to be apart from ben ever again.

Shawn: That’s what I figured. Look, I know how much the two of you love each other. I’m really happy for you both.

Ciara: Thank you for saying that.

Ben: So how is claire and allie? What’s going to happen with them?

Shawn: Well, considering ciara was never kidnapped, the charges will be dropped.

Ciara: Charges? What charges? What are–what are you talking about?

Shawn: Yeah, I’ll let ben explain that one to you.

Ciara: Okay.

Shawn: So I’m gonna go out there to theo. Your leg? Want me to call an emt? Have them come out here, mend you up, and give you a ride back?

Ben: You know what? I don’t think that’s going to be necessary. Thank you, though. It’s starting to feel better already.

Shawn: Okay then. I will see you guys.

Ciara: Bye, bro.

Shawn: Bye.

Ben: Worst is over now. All over.

Xander: Come on, jack. I just owned up to pushing drugs and dumping a body. What doesn’t add up?

Jack: The timeline. You started dealing drugs after you quit your job at titan. That was before you moved in here.

Xander: Right.

Jack: Snyder’s body was found in the lake on july 4th. And you were still dealing drugs when snyder died? Even though you’d gotten a job at basic black?

Xander: Well, once you’re in, it’s hard to get out.

Jack: According to steve, tripp said he saw you and snyder arguing at the beginning of june. Is that right?

Gwen: I don’t remember.

Jack: So you were deeply involved by then. And you were still deeply involved when snyder died at the beginning of july. Is that right?

Gwen: Yeah. Yeah, that’s right.

Jack: I let you live here rent-free! And you repaid me by duping my daughter into becoming part of a drug ring. And then you told her that she couldn’t get out! She was still suffering from the loss of her baby girl!

Xander: I, uh… I didn’t know that.

Jack: You didn’t care! You get your things, and you get the hell out of here! You disgust me! I’ve got moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

Ciara: I feel so bad about theo. He was there for me when I needed him, and this is how I repay him.

Ben: You didn’t plan to hurt him, ciara. To be honest, it seems to me that you both are just the victims of circumstance.

Ciara: You should’ve seen the look on his face when I told him, ben. He was so sad. He was heartbroken.

Ben: Well, I know exactly how bad he’s hurting because that’s how I felt when I lost you. He’s got a great family, ciara. They’re gonna take care of him. They always have.

Ciara: Yeah, and he is gonna need them now more than ever.

Abe: Well, I just talked to shawn. And it’s not good news.

Lani: What happened?

Abe: He’s bringing theo back alone. Ciara’s staying at the cabin with ben.

Lani: Oh, man. Poor theo.

Abe: I’m waiting for him right now.

Lani: Tell him how sorry I am and just give him a really big hug for me.

Abe: I will. Thank you, shawn.

Shawn: Glad I could help.

Abe: I’ll take it from here.

[Melancholy music]

Eli: So ciara’s back with ben, huh?

Lani: And theo is all alone.

Eli: Damn.

Lani: God, I really hope that carver and jules don’t ever have to go through anything like this.

Eli: Well, the thing with babies is, you get to solve all their problems for them, but then you got to send them out into the world.

Lani: I don’t hear a sound. You are getting really good at putting them down for their naps.

Eli: Yeah. Well, their little bellies are full. Plus, I read them the “madeline” book.

[Melancholy music]

Why do you look sad?

Lani: I’m just thinking about theo.

Eli: Well, you got that same look on your face when you mentioned the book, and the same look when you mentioned that trip to paris to your dad. What was that about?

Lani: I just remember being a young girl, and finding out that my favorite aunt was not who she pretended to be.

Paulina: You can’t tell me where to go and not to go! I have every right to come here. Lani’s babies were being christened.

Olivia: It was not your place.

Paulina: Oh, really? Well, then whose place was it? Tammy’s? Funny, I don’t remember seeing her at the christening.

Olivia: She was on tour, and you know it.

Paulina: Well, yeah, I’m glad she got her priorities straight.

Olivia: That’s not fair.

Paulina: What about what happened to me, mama? Was that fair?

Olivia: We’re not talking about that now.

Paulina: Well, maybe–you know, maybe we should. Yeah, maybe we should just put this out, just put it all out here on the table! Tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

Gwen: Have you gone completely mad? You just convinced my father that you are totally responsible for crimes that I have committed!

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

Gwen: I know; he wouldn’t want any part of me. I don’t understand, though, why did you cover for me?

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

Gwen: Wait, you are doing this to help me?

Xander: I mean, I’m doing it to help jack. I never had a friend like him. I am truly sorry, mate. You deserve much better.

Jack: I think the person you should be apologizing to is my daughter.

Xander: I’m sorry for including you in my scheme. You have enough problems. And I took advantage of you and of jack’s friendship. You’ll both be better off without me in the mix. I do hope you appreciate what a good lad he is. You’re very lucky to have a father like him.

[Melancholy music]

Theo: Soon as I heard ciara got her memory back, I knew it was over for her and me. I always knew it could turn out like this, but…

Abe: I know. I know you were hoping against hope that it wouldn’T.

Theo: And you tried to warn me. You tried to talk me into calling it off, but I just didn’t listen. It was like I was blind and deaf. If I’m hurting now, I did it to myself.

Ben: [Chuckles] Is it wrong for me to be this happy?

Ciara: Mm-mm. No. God, no. Everyone always talks about what I’ve been through, but what about what you’ve been through? When eve and vincent kidnapped you? And when you thought that I was dead for months? And then you finally found me, and I turned on you.

Ben: You didn’t remember me. I mean, you did remember my stats, which are really, really bad.

Ciara: And you actually had to watch me plan to spend the rest of my life with theo. And still, you never gave up on me. You finally reached me.

Ben: And just so you know, I was never gonna give up on you. I didn’t give a damn how long it took.

Ciara: Thank god for that.

Ben: We have been through hell together, haven’t we?

Ciara: Mm-hmm. We sure have.

Ben: You know, when i couldn’t find you, I could feel you reaching out to me. That’s what kept me going.

Ciara: Me too. Knowing that you were out there. Believing that you were looking for me.

Ben: We were meant to be together.

[Gentle guitar music]

Ciara: Ben, what about your ankle?

Ben: What ankle?

The way

the light kisses your eyes

it’s hard to explain

I lose all track of time

with you everything

is perfect

with your hand in my hand

I know it’s all right

we’ve waited so long

girl it’s worth it

I’ll dry all your tears

reach out to me

I’m right here

baby I’m here

to keep you safe and warm

in the middle of the storm

I will promise to hold you

I’m here

rest your head

on my shoulder

when the night seems

much colder

just know that I’m

I’m right here

you’d never want leftover onion residue

[Tender music]

Ciara: Never let me go again, ben.

Ben: I won’T. You are my forever. And I’m yours.

[Pensive music]

Xander: And I’ll show you what I want.

Gwen: Oh, brought me tea?

Jack: I figured, after that scene with xander, you could use it.

Gwen: Yeah. You do brew a proper cuppa.

Jack: When I tell julie that I kicked xander out of this house, she’s gonna dance a jig. I-I can’t believe that guy. I-I really thought he’d developed a decent side. But I was wrong. He uses everyone he meets. He can’t stop himself.

Gwen: You know, I do think that he got mixed up with snyder out of desperation. I know a thing or two about desperation. It’s made me do things that I’m not proud of.

Jack: You were dealing drugs without knowing it. He risked your life to make money. I cannot forgive that.

Gwen: Yeah, but the drug dealing did stop when snyder died, yeah? So let’s just hope that this whole sordid business is just over.

Jack: Let’s hope. But actions do tend to have consequences.

Shawn: Wow, what do you know? Just the guy I was looking for.

Xander: What can I do for you, mate?

Shawn: You can put your bag down; you can put your hands behind your back, ’cause you’re under arrest, “mate.”

Abe: Hey, you know, when your mother died, I began to learn about something called “the tincture of time.”

Theo: I don’t even know what a tincture is.

Abe: It’s a remedy. The passage of time began to make my pain bearable. I-I learned that I could smile when I thought of her instead of getting choked up.

Theo: This isn’t like mom. There was nothing we could do for her. This didn’t have to happen. I made it happen.

Abe: It’s not your fault. It’s not your fault. You know, the reason ciara turned to you when she lost her memory it’s because the two of you have always shared a special bond.

Theo: Except it wasn’t love, right? Not for her.

Abe: Couldn’t help, but believing that it was, you took a leap of faith. You gave your whole heart to someone. And that’s–that is never a mistake.

Theo: Even if that person doesn’t love you back?

Abe: Even then. You know, you are going to find true love someday. And you will know the minute it happens.

Theo: And what am I supposed to do until then?

Abe: Lean on me. And lani. I mean, that’s what families are supposed to be for. We are there to help when things get really, really bad. Hey, come here.

Lani: There I sat with my little suitcase full of all the clothes that my mom either made me or spent her hard-earned money to buy. Aunt paulina never showed up.

Eli: Damn. I-I-I can’t even imagine you going through something like that as a kid. And I know it hurt. Did paulina ever tell you why she did it?

Lani: Mm-mm. I didn’t see her for a really long time after that. And then, when I finally did, she–she didn’t even mention it. It’s–it’s like she forgot that she made me a promise. It’s fine. I’m over it now. Or I was, and then all this price town scam stuff happened. And it just brought all the feelings back up.

Eli: But I don’t get it. To me, it seems like paulina dotes on you.

Lani: That’s just an act. And that’s what I was trying to tell my dad. It’s like she puts on this charm, and she–she makes you feel like you’re the most important person in the world, and then she gets what she wants, and then it’s like you don’t even exist.

Eli: I’m sorry. I know how hurtful that could be.

Lani: I have tried to figure out who she is. But I just–I can’T. I just–I do not know who she really is.

Paulina: You came to town to talk me into leaving. Well, it’s not gonna be that easy. I have some things to say too. So let’s just–let’s just lay it all out here on this table.

Olivia: We wouldn’t have anything to talk about if you had just kept your promise.

Paulina: That was a promise I wish I had never made!

Olivia: But you did! You promised your sister you’d stay away from her daughter!

Paulina: Except you and i both know, mama, lani isn’t really tammy’s daughter. She’s mine! She’s mine!

[ Gulls cawing ]

Sheila: “I’m so sorry for yesterday. Just had to see you. So proud of the man you’ve become. I wish I could hold hayes. Not possible. I know. I won’t be a problem for you. Promise. I’m leaving town. You’ll never see me again. Love always, mom.”

Steffy: Hayes has a full belly and he’s already back in dreamland.

Finn: Did you sing him a lullaby to get him down?

Steffy: No, he, uh, he requested a nursery rhyme. What do you think, he’s trying to tell me something?

[ Laughing ] So, handsome, um, would you mind if I head to the office? I want to talk to my father and figure out where things stand with the whole restraining order. I know sheila is your birth mom, but we just have to be careful. I just want to make sure she doesn’t stop by here. We need to think about hayes. Okay, let’s just, let’s just stop talking about sheila altogether. You know what I want to talk about? I want to talk about my sexy, handsome, doctor husband. That’s who I want to focus on.

Ridge: Dad. Hey! Hi, did you hear anything I said, or…

Eric: What? I’m sorry, son, what, what is it?

Ridge: Well, now I don’t know if I need to go back.

Eric: Come on, what?

Ridge: I’m talking about the restraining order and why I hadn’t heard from carter.

Eric: So, you think there’s a problem with carter?

Ridge: No, I, what? No, I just told you. I said that he’s gonna talk to the judge about sheila and what she’s done to our family, and he’s gonna get the order.

Eric: Yeah.

Ridge: What’s going on with you? It’s that, isn’t it? Your divorce papers. Well okay, all it takes is two signatures and you’ll have closure.

Carter: Make sure her honor gets my message as soon as her meeting’s over. Yes, it’s that important.

Quinn: Ooh. Oh, you are so sexy when you take control.

Carter: Need to get that restraining order against sheila. Ridge made it very clear.

Quinn: Yeah, for good reason. I mean, sheila’s been making the forresters’ lives a living hell for years, even when I was married to eric.

[ Phone dinging ] Oh. My divorce papers have been finalized, but you already knew that, didn’t you?

Carter: Yeah, I, um, I didn’t know how to tell you. Today is the day.

Paris: Ah, I am interrupting! Sorry.

Steffy: No, no, we were just done.

Finn: We were doing, um, what newlyweds do.

Steffy: Yeah.

Paris: Are you sure you guys don’t want to take a few days to just be alone? You could drive up the coast and stay in a romantic b&b, or amelia and i could take the kids–

Steffy: That’s, that’s really sweet, and we’d probably take you up on it, but you know, with everything going on…

Paris: Yeah, I, I get it. Now is not the right time, with the shocking appearance from finn’s birth mother, but I am glad to see it didn’t put a damper on your romance. Not that anything could.

Ridge: So, how’s it feel? Free of quinn?

Eric: Ridge, you all warned me about this. You all told me if I married this woman, I’d be sorry. Brooke told, everybody who cared about me–

Ridge: Well, it doesn’t matter now.

Eric: No? There’s not a small part of you that wants to say, “I told you so, dad”?

Ridge: Don’t do that, no, there is not. I know you don’t take divorce lightly.

Eric: No, I don’t, and I never will.

Carter: I was thinking that if your marriage to eric is truly over…

Quinn: It is. I mean, the divorce papers are finalized, as you know.

Carter: Yeah.

Quinn: There’s only one thing left for eric and me to do, and that’s to sign them and then, it’s official.

Carter: That’s how it works. Look, quinn, um, we fought so hard not to give into these, to these feelings. You loved eric, and I was loyal to him and ridge. We tried to stay apart, but there is this, this pull that we ultimately couldn’t deny, and you’re about to sign these divorce papers, and once you do, you’ll be free. But I guess, what I’m trying to say is that I don’t, I don’t want our relationship to be a secret anymore. This is new special k dipped.

Steffy: Amelia’s on her way. She’s gonna take care of hayes, while I’m at work.

Finn: You don’t trust his old man to watch him?

Steffy: No wait, you said you wanted to go surfing. Amelia can pitch in.

Paris: Or I could, I totally don’t mind.

Steffy: No, girl, you said you want to go to the beach, no way.

Finn: Well, I am already missing my beautiful bride.

Steffy: Oh, I feel terrible. You met your birth mom, only to find out who she really is.

Finn: I’m the one who feels terrible. I’m the one who brought her back into your life and into your family–

Steffy: No, no, baby, it’s not, it is not your fault. Just promise me you’re gonna stay away from sheila. Alright, I have to go to work, I love you. Bye.

Finn: Love you.

Ridge: Despite how things ended, there was a time when you and quinn were happy, when she was a loving and loyal wife.

Eric: She was. Although, I’m surprised to hear you say that, given what she did with you and brooke.

Ridge: This is not about what she did to us, it’s what she did to you with carter.

Eric: No, just, keep it away from carter, alright? Let’s not talk about–

Ridge: Okay, okay.

Eric: Thank you very much.

Ridge: I know, I’m just not, not sure she would want to throw away everything you worked for.

Eric: She was unhappy, ridge. She felt rejected because I was unable to give her what she felt she should have from me. I wasn’t able to do that for her. Sometimes, I think that I am the one who shoved her towards carter.

Ridge: Don’t ever say that again. She went to somebody else. It’s on her, and not you. You have to understand something. You’re not alone in this. I know how hard it is for you, but we’re here, we’re all here. Your family is here, you understand, right?

Eric: You need to go to the office, go on.

Ridge: Hey, come here. I love you.

Eric: Love you too, son.

Ridge: We’ll figure this out, okay?

Eric: Alright, come on.

Quinn: Carter, what are you saying?

Carter: I’m saying that I don’t want us to be a secret anymore. I don’t want us to sneak around. And I know what you’re gonna say, that if we do this, eric will fire me.

Quinn: He will!

Carter: What happens at forresters’ happens.

Quinn: Okay, it’s not vegas. Come on. You’re gonna lose your job, everything you’ve worked so hard for, you’re just gonna sacrifice?

Carter: I don’t know if you know this, but I am a brilliant, successful attorney, quinn. I’ll find a great job somewhere else.

Quinn: But–

Carter: No, no, no. This is what we need to do. The thought of not being with you, I can’t accept that, and we can’t let other people dictate our lives, who we should be with. I’m tired of hiding. I want the whole world to know what we have together. You’d never want leftover onion residue

Carter: I hate to see you leave, but eric has the divorce papers, and I know it’s not going to be easy saying goodbye to a life, to a man you once cared about, but I promise I’ll have something special for you when you get home.

Quinn: Home?

Carter: Yeah. Yeah, I want this to be your home too.

Quinn: Hm.

Ridge: What do you think? Hey, earth to steffy. Hi!

Steffy: Sorry, what were you saying?

Ridge: Pick a model. You’re distracted because of sheila?

Steffy: Yeah, I, I still can’t believe what happened at my wedding reception. It was the most beautiful day until that lunatic showed up.

Paris: I cannot get over living in malibu.

Finn: Yeah, it’s pretty amazing. The ocean breeze, the sea air, it really does help clear your head. Well, getting pummeled by the waves has the same effect.

Paris: Stop, you rode those waves like a champ.

Finn: Oh, you should see steffy. According to ridge, she was a real water baby growing up. Alright, I’m gonna check on amelia and the kids.

Paris: Finn, look, I know you went surfing to take your mind off all of this, but with your birth mother showing up, and the fallout– and if I’m overstepping, please tell me– but, how are you doing?

Quinn: Eric. Hi.

Eric: I didn’t hear the doorbell.

Quinn: I was assuming you were expecting me.

Eric: I was.

[ Sighing ]

Quinn: Wow. Well, that gives me a hint as to what’s gonna happen.

Eric: Well, this was at steffy’s request. She wanted her grandmother present at her wedding ceremony. The two of them shared something, very, very special.

Quinn: So did we, when we were married. Look, I meant it when I said I’m done apologizing, but it doesn’t mean I don’t still hate myself for hurting you the way I did. You’re a man like no one I’ve ever known before. You’re kind, compassionate, decent to a fault. Part of me is always gonna, always gonna love and care about you.

Expertly tailored eye care.

Ridge: We’ll have the restraining order by the end of the day, and if sheila gets near to you or hayes, she’ll end up in prison, where she belongs.

Steffy: Yeah, I wish I could believe that, but you know her. You know how clever and devious she is. Like how did a woman like that give birth to such a sweet, innocent man like finn? Like, how is that possible? How is that possible that she shares the same dna as my son? I’m gonna do everything in my power to make sure that sheila stays away from finn and my children.

Finn: Thanks again, amelia. Drive safely.

Paris: Next time you go out to clear your mind, you should take baby hayes with you. I know steffy thinks he is too young, but I am sure he would love a ride on daddy’s surfboard.

Finn: Yeah, he is a little young, but maybe when he gets older, that’s a good idea.

Paris: Look, finn, I don’t mean to pry, but if you ever need someone to talk to, you can talk to me.

[ Sighing ]

Eric: Your relationship with carter, I’m not certain I’m ever really going to understand it completely.

Quinn: We didn’t set out to deceive anyone. It’s just circumstances drew us together. But, hurting you, being unfaithful to you is… I’m gonna regret that for the rest of my life. And, I know you probably don’t believe me, but it’s true.

Eric: I believe you. I do, I can hear it in your voice, and I, I also believe you when you say that a part of you will always love me.

Quinn: Yeah, you, you gave me the best years of my life. I’m gonna, I’m gonna cherish those memories. And, once we sign those papers, that’s, that’s exactly what our marriage is gonna be, just, just a bunch of memories. You know, I don’t want to make this any more painful for us than it already is, so I’m gonna, I’m just gonna sign this so that you can–

Eric: Quinn, don’t, don’T. I’ve been thinking a lot about us, and about my part, the part I played in, in… pushing you away to carter, and what the two of you did together. How I shut down physically and emotionally and I denied you the affection and the contact that you deserved, that any woman deserves from a husband. I was thinking about this woman who came into my life, and what you brought to me, and how happy we were together, and how we were alone against everybody else in the world. It was a happy time, and it didn’t bother us. Together, we could build a wonderful future, a happy, wonderful future together, no matter what, no matter what.

Quinn: ‘Til I messed it up.

Eric: Everybody deserves forgiveness. Me too, and as you’ve said, I’m willing to forgive other people. I know I want to forgive you. My time with you, the years we were married together, all these years, I was happier than I ever was any other time in my life. I loved you. I want you. I don’t want this divorce. I want you back, quinn.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

How come you finally sprung for a shave? Article in “psychology today.” To spiritually. Not so easy to y, you know,I-I know — I know we pledged to live in the moment, right? Mm. Mm-hmm. And I’m feeling real inspired, so… why don’t we… make long-term plans? Can I get you a refill on your iced tea? Nah. All I want is you beside me…

[ Chuckles ] …Now and forever. I think that can be arranged. Any news on hayden’s mother’s toxicology report? Uh, I told them we’d rush the results. We just met with the medical examiner. And…? And it looks like you guys were right. Highly unlikely naomi dreyfus’s death was an accident. Whoa, who invited the riffraff? Ha ha. You’re so funny. Come on in. You guys ready to party? Yes. Spencer, it looks amazing outside. The led lights, the dance floor, the photo booth. Thank you. Mm. What about you? Do you approve? I don’t hate it.

[ Sighs ]

[ Voice breaking ] I don’t know what to do. Sonny’s gone, and… I don’t know what my future with jason looks like.

[ Breathing shakily ] I know that I, uh… need to put the past behind me and let go. Man: That’s easier said than done. You’re back. I haven’t seen you in months. I like to keep you on your toes.

[ Laughs ] I was wondering if, um… what? I didn’t know if the recent developments have kept you away. Recent developments? Yeah. Oh, you mean that you’re planning on marrying jason? I watched jason choose this life, and he had plenty of opportunities to get out, but he didn’T. So the violence that follows him, even if it’s not of jason’s own making, it’s his responsibility. So just don’t fall into the trap of thinking that he’s some kind of hero, ’cause h-he’s just not. Jason’s no longer a part of my life, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking he’s one of the good guys. Good guys don’t put my daughter at risk.

[ Clears throat ] Don’t tell me that. Tell him. Is there a problem? I don’t even know where to begin. Wherever you want. You know josslyn’s in danger. So I’m — I’m asking you — no, you know, I’m demanding — that you put a stop to this. Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection, but we also bundle outdoor vehicles with home and auto to help people save more!

[ Laughs ]

[ Humming ]

[ Door creaks ] Oh.

[ Soft music playing ]

The dj is doing his sound check, the extra launch is on the mainland, and my father just texted that he’s over the atlantic. Operation rager is a go. Mm. Not so fast. We couldn’t risk getting dirty on the way over. Yes, is there somewhere we can change? Yeah, take any guest room in the south wing. But I prefer the east wing. Really? I’m more of a north wing kind of girl. Wow, you guys are hilarious. South wing it is. Uh. Here, before you go, take these. -Ah. -Ah. -What is it? -Vip bracelets. They grant access to the house, and only we have them. Really? Hmm. Yeah, what if we need to escape from the randoms? You thought of everything. I always do. Be right back. Aww. Shut up.

[ Laughs ] Do you need to change, too? Uh, noI… this is what I was gonna wear. Not to my party, you’re not. I specifically said “solstice chic.” What does that even mean? Here. Come with me. Do I need to get security in here? No, I have no issue with jax. Well, you’ll have to excuse me if the feeling isn’t mutual. Look, I’ll be the first to admit this isn’t like with me and sonny, o-or carly and sonny, for that matter. He was, uh — he was selfish. He always dragged carly back down because that’s what he needed. He didn’t care about her safety or the kids’ safety. It was a very unhealthy relationship. But I understand it’s different with you. I know that you love carly, and I know that you love josslyn, and that you would give your life for them. And I don’t say that lightly, so whatever reason you have for marrying carly, whether you’re both sad about losing sonny or to solve some, you know, some business problem — whatever it is, I-I-I’m begging you, jason, just do the right thing here. End this before someone gets hurt. Sonny: Why would you think I wouldn’t want you to marry jason? I don’T. I think not only would you understand, you’d be all for it.

[ Sighs ] I was gonna say, I thought you knew me better than that. Why — why does it seem like you’re holding back? I’m scared, sonny. Of what?

[ Breathes shakily ] Of losing my relationship with jason. It’s a perfect friendship, to love someone like that without any complications. It’s rare. It is. And what if marrying him changes all that? What kind of plans do you have in mind? Well, you know, I’ve been thinking about that story that lenny loves to tell about, when he met phyllis while, you know, he was fishing. Oh, yeah, the story about how she wanted to have him lose his big catch because she felt sorry for the fish. I was thinking maybe we all could take a fishing trip. Right? I mean, when — when lenny’s up to it. Yeah, they both seem pretty committed on this new lease in life, no matter what the biopsy results are, so… but I see one little problem with your idea. Yeah? Mm-hmm. I don’t know how keen phyllis is on fishing. Oh, well, I’m not talking — it’s less about the sport of fishing and more about getting away from the bar, from the stresses of life. We can, uh, just, like, take a vacation. I like it. Great idea. Yeah? Yeah. Yeah, alright. Yeah. It’ll give lenny something to look forward to. So it means you’re gonna… stay, uh, for a few more weeks? I’m not going anywhere. So, fishing? You’re sold? Hook, line, and sinker. Define “highly unlikely.” Was naomi murdered or not? Well, sam, we can’t divulge the details of an ongoing investigation. Ongoing investigation. That’s not annoying or anything. And neither is you keeping out information. If we’re gonna keep looking into hayden’s shooting and disappearance, we should know what we’re getting into. Now, word on the street — there’s compelling evidence that her mom’s death wasn’t a suicide. Whose word and what street? I have my sources. You gonna tell us about them? I promised to be discreet. Oh, okay. According to the toxicology report, hayden’s mother was injected with a powerful drug. Injected? So the bottle of pills left behind was just a prop? I didn’t say that. Did you? No, I didn’t say that. So the medical examiner is certain that naomi didn’t ingest the toxin that killed her? Is it possible that she injected herself? Problem is, most drug users inject themselves in a vein in the arm, the legs, or the groin. Whereas naomi was injected somewhere atypical. She was injected in a spot that the M.E. Almost missed — in the back of her neck.

You weren’t around when morgan died, so you don’t really know, and I only know a little of what it did to carly and josslyn, but I can tell you what it did to me, jason. I-it scared the hell out of me. I mean, I-I don’t even want to think about it. I don’t want to wrap my mind around losing my only daughter that way. I — I understand. But you don’t

really understand, because your kids are safe across town with their mothers, while josslyn, she grew up in sonny’s house, and she’s gonna remain living there until she goes off to college. And your business rivals, they obviously know that, seeing how the novak guy approached her. So when you tell me that she’s protected, I don’t believe you. You’re right. You’re right. This is a risk to josslyn. I’m telling you, I’m doing everything in my power to minimize that risk. She has one of our best bodyguards with her all the time.

[ Scoffs ] A bodyguard didn’t save morgan. Josslyn isn’t morgan. She understands the situation we’re in. Does she love it? No, she doesn’T. Do we? No, we do not. But she gets why it has to be this way, just for now. And — and it’s true — I do love carly, and I do love josslyn. And trust me when I say that I’m not making any decisions for me or for what I want. All my decisions are made for them. To keep them safe? Yes. And I get — I get that you’re scared for your daughter.

[ Scoffs ] I’m not scared. I am terrified. And I get that I’m not giving you the answers that you want, but it’s the only answer that I have. Then you know that’s not good enough for me. You know, I thought I could appeal to you as a — as a rational human being, but — but if I can’t even do that…

[ Stammers ] I’m sorry. I-I’m done co-parenting with the mob. Trina: Well? You look incredible.

[ Chuckles ] So do you. Mm. Spencer, really went all out, huh? Yeah, when spencer sets his mind to something, there is no stopping him. I can see that. He likes you. You think so? Don’t you? I don’t know. Maybe. Okay. I have a confession to make. Wow, you look almost as good as I do in that. I appreciate the loaners. You should. They came all the way from milan. Oh, my god. What? Milan? The south wing? This whole party in general? I’m sorry. Is my hospitality bothering you? What’s bothering me is that you’re trying too hard. Marriage to me is what I had with you. What’s that? You know. I just — I like to — I like to be reminded.

[ Chuckles ] Bold…and passionate. Caring and heated. We had all the things, sonny. All the shades. We loved as hard as we fought. You’re not gonna fight with jason the way you fought with me. I know. It’s gonna be different. It has to be different. I just don’t want jason to stop being jason. Well, you — you know jason better than anyone, except me. So why do you think anything’s gonna change about him just ’cause you marry him? Look at you. You’re exhausted, and no wonder. Let’s go home. Not yet. Lenny… this sunset’s almost as beautiful as my wife.

[ Both chuckle ] And the tan-o is home. Like I always say, an answer for everything. That’s why you love me. You know I do.

[ Chuckles ] I’ll refresh these. I’ll be right back.

[ Both laugh ] Really? I know we should probably be opening, but it’s so nice having the place to ourselves. What are you two all huddled up about? We, uh — we have an idea. I don’t know if it’s

we have an idea. This is kind of all mike’s idea.

[ Laughter ] Lenny always says, when mike’s mind stops to rest… a backup generator kicks in.

[ Laughter ] Yes, that’s pretty spot-on. Alright, you know what? Uh-huh? You can go ahead and tell, uh, phyllis the — the romance, and I’ll do my best to reel in lenny. Is that alright? Alright, I’m on it. Alright. Alright.

[ Phyllis chuckling ] What on earth was that about?

[ Laughs ] Lenny, where’s your fishing rod? We got to start practicing to impress the girls. Lenny? Lenny?

[ Sniffles ]

[ Voice breaking ] Lenny?

[ Exhales deeply ]

Didn’t you say that you appreciated how people in port charles were authentic? Are you calling me fake? I’m saying that you — you do all this stuff and say all this stuff as a way of putting a barrier between you and everybody else. So maybe if you stop acting like a jerk for five minutes, you’ll find that people actually like you. I’m touched. See, there you go again. I’m sorry. It’s a reflex. Look, man, it’s — it’s great to have a party. The dj looks killer. Everybody’s pumped. It’s gonna be a great night. Yeah, it is. I don’t know. Maybe try having a conversation with some of the “randoms.” They might actually surprise you. And you might surprise yourself. Cam and i talked about this. About what? Me? And spencer. I convinced myself that I wasn’t gonna get involved, but when we got here and I saw you two all sparkly with each other… sparkly? You know what I mean. I just… I would never tell you not to date him or anything like that, because this is your life. But…? But… you don’t know spencer like I do. So, tell me. Well, inside that really fun package is actually a pretty messed-up guy who’s done some pretty messed-up things. Now, I’m not saying that you should judge someone based off what happened when they were eight. I mean, I used to go around dressed like corn. We’ll revisit that later. Yeah. But spencer has a certain edge to him, you know? He grew up super rich, obviously. He told me his mom died. The day he was born. And of course, everybody felt sorry for him. It’s horrible. So they decided to throw money at him. There were never any limits. And that’s stayed with spencer. I mean, he just keeps testing and testing and pushing things way too far before he realizes what he’s done. Now, that’s not to say that he doesn’t have a great heart, because I really think he does… but it’s just something that you should keep in mind before diving headfirst. Thank you, but just so we’re clear, I get the spencer’s got this whole racket thing going. He’s running it all the time.

All the time. I appreciate you for looking out for me, and I hope you know I’d do the same for you. Yeah, I know you would. Sisters before misters? Always. I wanted to talk to you privately. This may be none of my business. Okay. Shawn, you’re recently out of prison. Are you sure you want to get in the middle of all this? Maybe for your sake and for tj’s, you let sam investigate the past, and, instead, you focus on what comes next for you. Please tell me what we’re gonna do to get to the bottom of this. Well, I’m gonna start by eating some of these.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Do you want some? Ugh. Hold on. This is danny. I have to take it. Yeah, yeah. Go. We’re not done with this conversation. I hope not, because I love talking to you.

[ Ringing continues ] Dante. Mm-hmm? I need to talk to you about josslyn. Yeah, sure. What’s going on? Well, I’m sure you’re aware that, uh, organized crime conflict hasn’t ended with sonny’s death or cyrus renault behind bars. People have, uh — how do I put this? — Stepped in to fill the void. Okay.

[ Clears throat ] What people are you talking about?

[ Sniffles ] Well, you’re only gonna need one guess. I’m a little disappointed in myself. I thought I was making progress. Yeah? With what? Britt 2.0. The kinder… gentler… more empathetic version. But I have to say, it’s — really helps to see that this is hard for you. You’re welcome? Don’t get me wrong. I-I’m not over here all, “ha! He’s hurting now, too.” I haven’t regressed that much. But whatever’s going on… I can see that it’s costing you. And choosing carly over me — for lack of a better phrase — isn’t something you did lightly. Doesn’t mean it hurts any less… …but it makes it a little easier to live with. Sonny: The relationship will change. It has to, like you said. Unless you decided to stay platonic and not have a real marriage. We haven’t decided anything. Mm, well, that — you guys are gonna figure that out, but, look, here’s the thing — if you’re going to have this conversation with anybody, have it with the person who… you trust the most, and that’s jason. I trust jason more than anything. Okay, then. I think I’m fixated in worrying about how my relationship with him is gonna change. I mean, that’s real, but I think I’m deflecting. From what? If I marry jason and he becomes my husband… …that means that… you’re gone from my life. I mean, I’ll remember you, and I’ll love you always. But I’ll finally have to let go. Can I level with you? Yeah, of course. Sounds less like a romantic getaway and more like an excuse for a boys’ weekend.

[ Laughing ] No, I get it. But, listen, I did some research, a little bit of research, um, and there are some really nice cabins on the river with luxe accommodations. So while the guys are, like, hooking these disgusting worms, we will be getting facials and sipping rosé. Ooh, now you’re speaking my language.

[ Both laugh ] Right? But I can’t ask anything more of you, nina. You’re already helping out with our hospital bills. I’m happy to do it. This vacation is for all four of us. Mm. An opportunity for you and mike to connect? Maybe.

[ Chuckles ] You’ve changed since you first got to nixon falls. You’re lighter now, unburdened. Hm.

[ Chuckles ] Space from your problems will do that to a person. And so can love. Mm-hmm.

[ Both laugh ] Want to get some tea? Okay. This is really good. Oh. Hey. Were your ears burning?

[ Breathes sharply ]

[ Shattering echoes ]

I-I didn’t even ask what you were doing here. Were you looking for jax? Uh, no, I came to see you. When, uh, joey novak approached josslyn, I-I was worried that you could be next. Why? Just, you know, because of our history. But that’s just it, jason — history. We’re not connected anymore. Well, I mean, I’m always gonna care about what happens to you. Well… no one’s approached me, so you can stand down. How you feeling? Good. Strong. Huntington’s hasn’t reared its head yet. You know you don’t have to pretend with me. Yes, I do. Believe me, I’d love nothing more than to focus on the future, but I can’t do that with a would-be murderer on the loose. That person hurt hayden and stole years of my life. But isn’t that the point?

[ Sighs ] In pursuing this, you could be sacrificing even more years of your life. Shawn, you just got out of prison, and finding yourself on the scene of a probable homicide is not a good idea. If it hadn’t been dante that had shown up that day, who knows what another police officer might have assumed? Now, I would just hate for our son to have just gotten his father back, only to have him taken away again. It was quick. Painless, by the expression on his face. Likely his heart or lungs. Lenny was just… carried off. You said you would never leave the tan-o again. I knew you were stubborn, but this one takes the cake.

[ Voice breaking ] You — you want me to carry him out? No.

[ Crying ] Phyllis, can I call someone? Can I help you in some way? I just need a final moment alone with my husband.

[ Sobbing ] I love you so much. I love you, too. I love you in a way I could never love someone else. That’s a comfort. I mean, there’s — there’s only one “us.”

[ Chuckling ] And it makes me laugh because, god, I was told a million times that you were bad for me. You even told yourself that a million times.

[ Both laugh ]

[ Sniffles ] I did. And there were hardships, and there were tough times and unimaginable losses, but…you were also the best for me. You were, because you loved me and you gave me children. We built a real life together. A true partnership. You were the one guy I couldn’t walk away from. Carly and jason have taken over the corinthos organization. Jax, even if that were true, I — what? You know it’s true. How does it concern you? Because my daughter lives in their house, dante. Your daughter’s always lived in that house, jax. Yeah, I know, but she hasn’t always been approached by business associates from rival mobs. Now, I’m not going to stand by and lose my only daughter because of carly and jason’s shady business dealings. Okay. Has this associate got a name? Yeah, it’s, uh, joey novak. Okay, look, jax, as a father, I understand your concern, I really do. But from a legal standpoint, I’m out of luck, right? Look, hey, I’ll talk to novak, okay? And I’ll put a plainclothes on josslyn for a little while, but without an actual crime being committed — yeah, your hands are tied. I get it. I get it. Well, it’s a good thing mine aren’T. Well, what the hell does that mean? It means I’m gonna do whatever I have to to protect my daughter.

What was that all about? Uh… nothing good. How’s, uh, danny? Everything alright? Oh, man. Major emergency. What was it? He got locked out of his game account. Ohhh.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, damn. Is he gonna make it? Yeah. Uh, it was touch-and-go for a little while, but I reset his password, and I think — I think he’s gonna make it. Yeah? Oh, that’s good. That — that — that’s good news. That happened to rocco one time, and I-I wasn’t sure about him for a while. That was touch-and-go for a little while, too.

[ Breathes sharply ] Do you think we’re gonna survive? Our kids? All of it. Yeah. Hey, you know, we — we could, um, start up, like, a — like, a support group, you know? Yeah? Mm-hmm. Okay. I’d like that. When’s the first meeting? How about right now? I know you’re coming from a good place, but come on. What am i supposed to do? Tj and molly took a huge risk to expose judge carson, and it worked. I’m out. I can’t take that for granted, jordan. I’m not asking you to, but if the choice is between uncovering the truth about hayden versus living with the mystery unsolved forever, what do you think tj would choose?

[ Sighs ] Look, a-alright. I’ll — I’ll give it some thought. Thank you. Tj’s all I got. I don’t want to risk the chance to finally be his father. -Wow. -Mm-hmm. You look… you approve? I don’t hate it. You look pretty nice yourself. You’re beautiful. Thank you. What is all this? Uh, spencer thought I needed some flair. I would never use the word “flair.” Mm. [ Chuckles ] Oh. Well, you look great, flair or no flair. Guests should be arriving any minute. I’m so excited. Everyone have their vip bracelets? Yep. Now… who is ready for some epic misbehavior? We’re not on the run anymore, jason. Things are different now. Yeah, I know. And if I need to pretend to get through it, if that helps me, then that’s what I’m gonna do. Okay.

[ Scoffs ] That is so you.

[ Chuckles ] To just listen and absorb and accept.

[ Chuckles, claps hands ] I’ve missed that. Yeah, I think about that day… in the doctor’s office a lot. You know, when you were struggling with whether or not to — to find out if you had the marker. Fun times. And you asked and wanted to know what I would have done. Mm-hmm. If you had been me, you wouldn’t have found out. And I meant that. I meant everything that I said that day. You usually do.

[ Sighs ] You know, I’m — I’m glad. Um… I’m glad you decided to have that test. I really, uh… really respect the courage you showed then…

[ Sighs ] …You know, and the way you’re living through it right now, and I just — I… I just wish I could help.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Crying ] But you can’T. Take care of yourself, jason. Yeah, you, too.

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Lenny gave me a hard time at first. But why wouldn’t he? I came in here with — a — a stranger with nothing.

[ Sniffles ] But once he lets you in — oh, you’re in.

[ Both laugh ] You are in.

[ Sniffles ] It was so fast. We just saw him a half hour ago, and now he’s gone. How does that — how does that happen? Better than slow, I guess. Yeah, I guess.

[ Breathes sharply ] I feel so sorry for phyllis.

[ Sniffles ] Lenny was everything to her. Her forever love. Can’t imagine… …losing a spouse like that. It must just be never-ending pain. Sonny: God knows you weret the only one who tried to walk away. I tried, many times. We both did. And we always found our way back to each other. Sonny. Yeah? You’re my whole life. That’s my line.

[ Laughs ] You are.

[ Voice breaking ] And I’ll always love you. Right back at you. Forever. Forever.

Uh, y-you know, I know a — a great place. They got, uh, beer and snacks and, uh, dinner — you know, if someone wanted to have dinner, too. You know, a — a beer actually sounds really good right now. Oh. So you’re in? Yeah, I’m in. Okay. But, um, wait. What should we call it? Call what? The support group. I mean, that’s what this is, right? Oh! Yes!

[ Chuckling ] Yeah. Yeah. Uh. Let’s, uh… hold on. I got something. Come on. Hit me. Uh, okay. S-p-A. S-p-a? Single parents anonymous.

[ Chuckles ] Sort of reminds me of “spa”… mm. Mm. …Which is really relaxing. Yeah. And parenting is — totally not. Not. [ Chuckles ] Yeah. Yeah. But it’s kind of worth it. Totally worth it. Okay, so, uh, inaugural spa meeting… yeah. …Here we come. I think this could really take off, you know? Mm. You do, do you? Mm-hmm. Well, then, maybe we should sell stuff like merchandising options.

[ Chuckles ] Hats? Hats, uh, travel mugs? -Oh, I love a good travel mug. -You do? -Yeah. -Good.

[ Sighs ] It’s strange. I mean, obviously, I don’t remember… who I lost in my former life. But this feeling is so familiar, this ache.

[ Voice breaking ] Yeah, I-i wish I didn’t know that pain, but I do. And if I’m feeling this way, can you imagine phyllis?

[ Breathes sharply ] I got to help support her. Well… you don’t have to do it alone.

[ Sniffles ] We will figure out how to support her… together. You okay? I am now. I’m glad you’re home. It’s official. The launches are on their way. I cannot believe you rented a second one just for tonight. What was the alternative? Uh, people wait? Trina! Unacceptable. Sorry, my bad. Whatever. Make fun of me all you guys want. Mark my words — tonight is going to be epic. Oh. Mm. Well, one thing that hasn’t changed about you, spencer, is that you can’t even pretend to be modest.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Something doesn’t feel I hope we don’t regret it. What do you mean? Leaving the hospital? Well, it was lenny’s decision, and phyllis, the nurse, backed him up. Yeah, I know. It’s like the doctor said — that it was lenny’s choice whether he wanted to stay at the hospital and wait for the biopsy results or…come home. I don’t blame him for, you know, wanting to come to the tan-o instead of staying at the cancer ward. Yeah. I know you’re worried. I’m worried, too. But, listen, we don’t know anything yet, okay? We could still maybe get that happy ending, okay?

[ Door opens ] Hey. Boy… I missed this old place. I’m home, phyllis. And I’m never leaving again. Carly: I hope you don’t feel like I’m pressuring you. About what? Donna won’t remember a time when you’re not her stepfather. And we’ve been friends a long time — best friends. Now we’re getting married. That changes things. Doesn’t it? Josslyn: Mom? Am I interrupting? Britt: Ah. It’s all your fault, you know. How’s that my fault? I took your advice, and I agreed to share my job with dr. Randolph. Of course, if it all blows up in my face, I know who to blame. That was a joke, jax.

[ Chuckles ] A joke. What’s with the long face? Sorry. Um… how much time you got? Are you sure there isn’t something I can do to help you out with trina? I’ll let you know if I think of anything. Hell, I probably would have stormed over to josslyn’s house and brought trina home myself if jordan hadn’t convinced me not to. Trina! Honey, it’s so good to see you. I was wondering if maybe we could… you know, talk or — mom, stop. I came here to see ms. Henry. “War and peace”? Spoiler alert — andrei dies and natasha marries pierre. You’ve already finished the book.

[ Chuckling ] Me? No, I actually have a job. That’s what wikipedia is for. But since I saved you about 1,000 pages of reading, you can thank me by telling me a little bit more about this party you’re having on spoon island. Nikolas, you cannot be here! Actually, I can. No, you can’t! I-I-if the — if the stalker finds out, things could get worse for us — it won’t, because I know who the stalker is. Well, then, go to the police and — and — and talk to them about it. Ava, ava! So far, the stalker’s been in the shadows, but now, he has a name and he has a face. It’s a face I know as well as my own, because our stalker… is my son.

Uh, lenny, why don’t you, uh, have a seat? Take a load off. Yeah, why don’t you let us pamper you, okay? What are you doing? Reminding myself how good this bar feels. That it’s still here. That I’m still here. Yeah, you know, phyllis, I think maybe it could be a really good sign that they’re taking their time analyzing lenny’s biopsy. Right? I’ve been married to “nurse caulfield” long enough to know that tests like the one I took is like shooting craps. Sometimes, the lab comes up sevens, and sometimes, it comes up snake eyes. But until we get that call, please don’t treat me like I’m fragile. Okay, we will try not to, won’t we, phyllis? I’m sorry, but I just can’t do that. You could never be interrupting. In fact, we were just having a sweet moment with your baby sister. Ah, yes, donna has a way of bringing people together. So what’s in the box? Oh, well, I was just going through my stuff in my room, trying to figure out what I want to take to my dorm, what I want to donate. You’re not gonna donate mrs. Drizzle! She was always your favorite. She still is. But I’m not gonna take a doll to my dorm.

[ Laughing ] I want donna to have her. That’s so sweet. When josslyn was donna’s age, she took mrs. Drizzle everywhere. Yes, I was under the belief that she could make all of the monsters in my closet go away. Yeah. If only it was that easy in real life. Uh, what do– what does that mean? Is joey novak bugging you again? Nope. No? I haven’t seen joey again. And devin’s staying close? He’s an excellent bodyguard, so I’m fine. But I did get a weird message from dad. About what? Well, that’s just it. All it said was, “are you okay?” So what do you think he meant by that? It’s about my daughter. Is josslyn okay? No thanks to carly’s new living arrangements. Oh, I-I thought you made peace with carly and jason. Yeah, that was before I learned that, despite carly’s assurances, her marriage to jason might not actually make my daughter safer — it might do the exact opposite. I’m glad to see that you’re doing okay. I’m fine. Joss and her mom made me feel very welcome staying at their house. Honey, it won’t be long until you move into your dorm, and I’d really like to enjoy, you know, spending time with you before you leave. Well, tonight I’m hanging out with joss, cam, and spencer, so I’ll probably crash at joss’s one more night. Now, can I go see ms. Henry? Actually, ms. Henry has been cleared to go home, but let me see if she’s up for a visitor before she leaves. I know what you’re gonna say — that it was wrong of me to make my mom worry. Actually, I was gonna say that I was worried about you, too.

[ Monitor beeping ] I don’t know you well, dr. Robinson, but you appear concerned. Has there been some complication? Some reason to keep me here longer? You’re still cleared to go home. Um, but as far as a complication… just tell me, please. My daughter — she’s outside, and she would like to see you.

You think that spencer is the stalker? Yes. That — that’s impossible. I think we both know, when it comes to my son, nothing is impossible. But I-I had a recent conversation with spencer, and — and he and I, we seem to reach a kind of détente. Yeah, you don’t think spencer is capable of faking a breakthrough? Well, say he did fake it. That doesn’t explain how he could terrorize me long-distance. I mean, the incidents began long before spencer came back to port charles. Yes, that’s what we were led to believe. I don’t understand. The postmark on the letter would suggest otherwise. What — what letter? Special delivery to spencer from an old friend of yours — ryan chamberlain. Spencer: I invited some old friends. Oh, yeah? Like who? Britt westbourne. I’m sorry, you invited the G.H. Chief of staff? She turned me down, but I’m hoping she’ll change her mind. Ah. And some friends from school are flying up from the city. Flying up? Impressive. Hmm. So tell me a little bit more about the party. Are you flying in a dj from the city? Maybe london? California, actually. Uh-huh. The dj works some of the hottest clubs in los angeles. My friends from school are really looking forward to it. I’m hoping that I can

[Clears throat] Broaden the horizons of some of my port charles friends. The way that I see it, a good party isn’t just a collection of people. They all have to blend together just so. And how are we supposed to blend with european kids that we’ve never even met? There’s no reason for you to worry about me. I’m 18. I voted. I’m moving into a dorm soon. I am not questioning your independence, trina. I’m simply pointing out that you’ve been avoiding your mom, staying at josslyn’s ever since you overheard my aunt talking about your mother and me back when she was still married to your dad. It wasn’t easy, finding out my mom wasn’t perfect. And, sure, there’s a part of me that wishes I’d never found out. But the bitter part of me needed to know. So, in a way, ms. Henry did me a favor. I’m sure your daughter isn’t here to bring me flowers. More likely, she’s here to dress me down for telling tales on you and curtis. And honestly, I wouldn’t blame her. My daughter — she wouldn’t be here unless she cared about you. That’s why she wants to see you. What about you, dr. Robinson? Do you want trina to see me? Or do you feel I’ve caused enough harm as it is? I ma de the choice of givingcarly the benefit of the doubt. Now, whatever else her marriage to jason means, I accepted the premise that they would be stronger together, which would hopefully mean more protection for josslyn, but instead — a random mobster approached your daughter. Right. A-and am I supposed to be okay with that? I mean, it was completely inappropriate. Your daughter’s going off to college soon, right? Mm-hmm. You think inappropriate is gonna end when she walks through the ivy-covered gates of pcu? No. I mean, that’s what title ix is for. Yes, but title ix is not gonna to protect her from guys like joey novak. I mean, carly invites this kind of threat purely by the nature of her business. Come on, britt, y-you know that I’m right. And it doesn’t just apply to carly. It applies to jason, too. You have every right to be concerned. But I think, if you take a step back, you might see that jason isn’t the problem. In fact, he could be the solution. Look, your father knows about your run-in with joey novak. What? Mom, why would you tell him? You know he gets all protective. I didn’t tell him. He overheard us talking. Well, couldn’t you just reassure him? I tried. But to be fair, jax has every right to be concerned. Yeah, well, he’s not the only one. I ran into cameron at the boxing gym, and he was hitting the heavy bag like it was joey novak. Oh, great.

[ Scoffs ] Just what I need now — my father and my… friend getting hurt on my account. Okay, nobody’s gonna get hurt, and I’m gonna make sure of that. See, this is what dad just doesn’t seem to understand. You two getting married is like the answer to everything. I mean, you guys trust each other. You can handle any problem that comes up, and, bonus, you actually love each other. So, my only question is, when is this wedding actually going to happen? Nina, why don’t we go for a walk? Let them — no. I want everyone to hear this. Lenny’s not the only one who came from the hospital with a different perspective. All along, I insisted that lenny do everything he can. Try any treatment. Go the extra mile. Yeah, of course. You’re a nurse. I’m also the woman who loves my husband, but love also means living, not simply existing. There has to be a quality of life. So whatever that biopsy says, whatever lies ahead, I want lenny — and both of you — to know… I’m all-in. I want lenny to savor the time he has and enjoy it. Or as a certain former marine would say, “better to die of living than to die of dying.” Baby… when you put it that way… I may just live forever.

[ Laughter ]

Oh, no, no. No tears. The tan-o’s all about good times. Hmm? It reminds me of an old cajun buddy I knew back in basic training. He used to say, “laissez

les bons temps rouler.” That means — I know what that means. “Let the good times roll.”

[ Laughs ] You really do remember the things that count, mike. That’s pretty special. -[ Breathes sharply ] -[ Laughs ] Why have you guys not picked a wedding date or started making plans? Jason, you got a free pass on this one, because everybody knows you hate social events. I don’t hate them. Yeah, I pretty much hate them — you’re right. Yeah. But you hate party planning, alright? But you — no offense, but, mom, you own a hotel and you could plan big events in your sleep. So what is stopping you? Aren’t you supposed to meet your friends? Wow. That was subtle. No, I’m serious. You’re gonna be starting college soon. You might as well enjoy the summer while you still have it. You know, you’re right. I should meet cam and trina. Is it okay if I leave this stuff with you to drop off? Sure. Okay, great. Oh, also, don’t worry, but I may be back late tonight.

[ Chuckling ] Hold on. How late? Didn’t you just tell me to go off with my friends and enjoy my summer? A couple of us are getting together one last time before we all part ways for college. Okay, that’s vague. Right? I mean, who all is gonna be there? Trina, cameron, spencer, the usual crew. Do I need to be more specific? Well, I’m pretty sure that’s the best I’m gonna get. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I’m gonna have tony drive you. Tony? Why? I mean, he’s great, but devin — he’s been getting the job done lately. Yeah, I know, but tony has a lot more experience. You know, since there’s gonna be a lot of kids, a lot going on, possible distractions, I would just feel better if — if tony was with you tonight, okay? Okay. Tony knows how to be unobtrusive. He does. He’ll stay out of the way as much as possible. He’ll respect your privacy, to an extent. Oh, joy. I’m sorry. Is what it is. You heading to the pool now? Yes. Okay. Devin can take you. I’ll have tony meet you over there. Great. Although… um… not tonight, but sometime in the near future, we really should talk about me getting my own car. You know, that way, tony, or whoever it might be, can follow me, like a discreet tail. Like a secret service agent.

[ Chuckling ] Okay, we’ll definitely think about that. Goodbye, josslyn. Goodbye. Bye. Goodbye. Bye, jason. Carly: [ Laughing ] Thank you for that. For what? Well, I’M… I don’t know. Making sure that that wasn’t a mother-daughter issue. Ah, you’re welcome. But my work is only beginning. What’s that supposed to mean? I need to talk to jax. I can’t believe you’re defending jason. I mean, the guy’s a magnet for violence. I’m not denying that violence is a part of jason’s life, but from my experience, jason can also be the best defense against it. Case in point — the time he escaped from G.H. Like the time he almost got you killed, you mean? No. You couldn’t be more wrong, jax. Cyrus figured out that I was on to the illegal drugs he was manufacturing, so he sent his goons to my office. They were five seconds away from injecting me with a lethal overdose when jason jeopardized his own escape to save me. I am alive because of him. What is it with jason morgan? I mean, no matter how much damage he causes, he has otherwise intelligent people lining up to forgive him for almost anything. Look, trina, the last thing I wanted was for you to get hurt. It’s like I always tell tj — actions have consequences. So if you want to blame someone, blame me. Aunt stella needs to recover, and your mom…

[ Sighs ] …All she’s been doing for the last few days is worrying about you. Everything okay over here? Yeah, we were just talking. Can I go see ms. Henry now? Yes. Yes. She’s expecting you.

[ Exhales deeply ] She’s a hell of a kid. Which only makes it more painful to know that I’m disappointed her so much.

[ Monitor beeping ] Trina: Hi. My friend cameron told me what happened at kelly’S. I am so grateful. If cameron hadn’t acted so quickly — ms. Henry, I-I’m so sorry for — no, honey, please. Let — let me talk first. I am really glad you came here, because it gives me a chance to say how sorry I am. How very, very sorry. You know, if you’re worried that joss, trina, and i are gonna embarrass you in front of your euro-friends, then screw you and your party. Cam, wait. No. [ Clears throat ] Cam, it’s not like that. It’s the other way around. What do you mean? It’s not like I didn’t meet tons of people overseas, but they’re more like acquaintances, not actual friends. They can talk for days about fashion or fusion cuisine or who’s hooked up with who, but it’s all… surface, superficial. No one ever asked me once if I missed my dad. They all just wanted to know what kind of car I drove. Tonight, I want those people to see what real friends are like. That’s one of the big reasons I came home, is because I wanted things to be more — dull? Pedestrian? Authentic. Why do you think I like trina so much? She doesn’t bs — she tells it like it is. Yeah. You’re right about that. And, you know, if trina can put up with you, then maybe joss and i will try to get along with your euro-friends. I was hoping you would say that. So, you won’t mind hopping on the phone and inviting some more people like you? What — you mean more “townies”? “My apologies for the disappointment called your father. Don’t let his and ava’s selfishness stymie your progress. Looking forward to more tales of your exploits. Ryan.”

[ Paper rustling ] Well, okay, so this is ryan’s sick idea of a — of a fan letter, but [Chuckling] How does it make spencer the stalker? Spencer lied about when he received the letter from ryan, and before that, I caught him in another lie. He admitted that he knew about the cockroach. Now, he talked his way out of that one, but it all adds up, because ryan couldn’t possibly have done all those things to frighten you, but spencer could have. But those things happened weeks before spencer came back to town. We only have spencer’s word that he was on the amalfi coast. What if spencer returned to port charles weeks before he walked through the front door of wyndemere? He’s got the money and the resources to hide, and he’s crafty enough to make all the various incidents look like they were planned by a madman who is obsessed with you, except nothing about it was crazy. Everything was calculated to drive us apart, and it almost succeeded. I understand that spencer has reason to resent me, hate me even, but why would he do this to you? He loves you. The father that let him believe that I’d died? The father that abandoned him and wasn’t there for him? Whatever spencer’s done, whatever the reasons, it’s as much my fault as it is spencer’S. That’s why I have to put a stop to his plans and give him a taste of his own medicine. Tonight. Nikolas, stop! That is the last thing you should do.

May I have this dance?

[ Up-tempo music plays ] Ah. I won’t take “no” for an answer. You’re incorrigible, lenny. That’s why you love me.

[ Music continues ]

Ah, down in louisiana,

just east of texarkana…

[ Laughter ] And… whoo![ Laughing ]

Singing out a cajun tune -whoo! -[ Laughs ] -Alright! -Uh-huh! -Whoo! -Yeah! Yeah! -[ Laughs ] -Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[ Laughter ] Oh, sashay, phyllis! Come on! -Hey, now. -Whoo! -Oh, yeah! -Whoo! -Yeah, yeah. Oh! -Yeah!

[ Laughing ] -Yeah! -Whoo-hoo! -Hold on! -Okay! Let a marine get in here. -Hey! [ Laughs ] -[ Laughs ] I know ryan’s letter seems incriminating, but it’s hardly a smoking gun. Why don’t you give spencer a chance to explain himself? I already tried. I showed him the letter. I suggested its implication. Spencer never even broke a sweat. Doesn’t that tell you anything? Yes! It tells me that he’s his father’s son, and that even when I wasn’t there in person, I was still teaching him the cassadine way. Maybe it’s in his dna, or maybe those three years that I abandoned him taught him all the lesson that he needed. But regardless, I know that spencer is the stalker, and it’s up to me to help him… …even if it makes spencer hate me. Cameron: So let me get this straight. You want me to invite more “authentic” people? I’ve been away for so long, I’m practically a stranger. Don’t you know anyone that’s cool? The more, the merrier. Spencer, what are you doing here? Not happy to see me? I’m just a little suspicious. Ragers on islands don’t throw themselves. They require planning. Mm-hmm. And since you’re here, who’s planning this party? Or is there still a party? Trina: You don’t owe me an apology. All you did was tell me the truth.

[ Sighs ] Baby, I can hear the hurt in your voice. A multitude of sins can hide behind the truth.

[ Monitor beeping ] Since my stroke, my short-term memory has been hazy, so… but curtis helped me fill in some of the blanks, and it leaves me ashamed and embarrassed. Not only was I way out of line when I sat in judgment of your mother, but I made things so much worse… by confronting her in public

[Voice breaking] Where you could overhear.

[ Breathes sharply ] Do you think you can find a way to forgive me? I still think there’s nothing to forgive. That’s very generous of you. I don’t think your mother feels the same way. Trina’s disappointed, but that’s only because you’ve always been a hero to her. Exactly. And now I’ve failed her. No, you didn’t fail her. You turned out to be perfectly human, capable of making mistakes. Sooner or later, shouldn’t every kid find that out about their parents? Some lessons are just too hard and painful. Especially with trina going off to college soon. I mean, wh– what if we don’t get past this?

[ Laughter ]

[ Up-tempo music plays ] -Whoo! -[ Chuckling ] Oh! -Very good! -Yeah! Oh. Oh, oh. Oh, man. Hey, lenny. Lenny.

[ Breathing heavily ] I-I-I’m fine.

[ Chuckles ] Just a little out of practice, there. Alright. You’re out of breath, lenny. I want to take you home and put you to bed. What did you just tell me? Love means living. He’s gonna hold you to that.

[ Breathing heavily ] You bet I am. Then let me take you outside while the sun’s still shining.

[ Chuckles ] You can put your feet up. I’ll pour you a nice iced tea. And we can plan that trip we’ve been meaning to take. To the islands? Mm-hmm. No time like the present.

[ Door opens, closes ] This might sound strange, but, uh… …I envy those two. I get it. Some people live a lifetime and never find a love like that. You sure it’s a great idea to talk to jax? I mean, if he, uh, if he has concerns, I want him to deal with me. Not you, and not josslyn. Okay, well, I mean… jax was never a fan of sonny’S. To him, you were the lesser of two evils. Not anymore.

You know, it was one thing for jax when you and i were just friends. He didn’t love it, but he tolerated it, and now everything’s changed. He thinks I’m picking you over top of my kids, that I’m taking a chance to be with you and I’m gonna put my kids in danger. Yes, but that’s not true. We’re doing the exact opposite. We’re getting married because it is the safest option. Yeah. Right. And… it only works because of who we are to each other, you know? I’m scared… …of how this is gonna change things between us. I mean, it’s as new for me as it is for you.

[ Whispering ] I know. We’re just — we’re just gonna have to figure this out… together, okay? Yeah. Can you, um, drop this off at the community center for me, please?

[ Door opens ]

[ Sighs ] Sonny: What are you smiling about? I don’t — I don’t know. I’m just really, really grateful that you reached out to me when you did, when I was in port charles. Not just to help phyllis and lenny with the treatment costs, but… I feel so blessed to be able to spend this time…

[ Voice breaking ] …With you, no matter how much time we have left. Are you talking about lenny and phyllis, or are you talking about you and me? Why don’t we just take a page out of lenny’s book and… live every moment we are given as if it’s our last? Yeah? Yeah. Trina: Curtis? Your aunt would like to see you. Excuse me. How’d it go with stella? No offense, mom, but I think that’s between me and ms. Henry. You’re right. I almost got a college student on my hands.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sorry that I keep treating you like a little kid. And I’m sorry that I hurt you by the choices that I made in the past — my time with curtis while I was still married to your father. Honestly, those are things that I never wanted you to know. But now you do. Do you think you can find it in your heart to forgive me? Yes, there is an actual party, as you will soon see for yourself. Josslyn: Hmm. And it’s just gonna magically appear on spoon island? What about your father? He’s off to dubai on business. Is that gentleman with you? Yeah, that’s devin. He’s watching me until tony takes over. Tony? He’s an excellent bodyguard. You won’t even notice him. It doesn’t bother you — having constant supervision? You get used to it. Mostly. Tell me about it. My dad keeps a close eye on me, too. I guess it shows how much he cares. Ava: Please listen to me. You — you — you’ve lost so much time with your son. You’ve just begun to — to — to repair that relationship. Do you really want to jeopardize that based on one letter from ryan and a questionable timeline? What if you’re wrong? I’m not. This is our shot. It may be our last shot at unmasking the stalker and finally putting our family back together. But spencer is part of that family you’re talking about. I know that. But spencer’s no longer a child. His antics aren’t cute anymore. For his own sake, as well as ours, he needs to be stopped.

Please don’t take spencer’s love for granted. You almost lost him once, and it nearly broke your heart. Don’t risk losing him again. When this night is over, I won’t lose my son. I’ll have him back — the son that I know and I love. And you and i will finally be together again. So are you up for a party? Try and stop me. I’m in, too. Let’s make tonight a night to remember. I had a talk with ava. She thinks I should try and patch things up with you. And what did you think about that advice? Honestly, mom… I’m not sure why I’m angry or who I’m mad at. It’s just… I spent my whole life thinking one thing, and now I find out there’s something else I knew nothing about. It’s just a lot to process. I understand that. All I know is that I missed you these past two days. I missed you, too. Mm. Tonight, I’m hanging out with spencer, joss, and cam, so I need to get ready for that, but… maybe we can talk later when I come home? I’d like that, yeah. I have to say, I’m very impressed with portia’s daughter. It’s obvious she was raised right. I should have given her mother more credit. If her daughter is any indication… dr. Robinson must be a fine person.

[ Monitor beeping ] Aunt stella… on that, you and I agree. You know, I hated sonny corinthos from the day I met him, but jason was a little bit more difficult, because in the beginning, he was — he was misguided. He alienated himself from his family, and sonny took him under his wing. But over the years, I watched jason choose this life. Now, he had plenty of opportunities to get out, but he didn’T. So the violence that follows him, even if it’s not of jason’s own making, he is responsible for it. So — so don’t — don’t fall into the trap of thinking that he’s some kind of hero, ’cause he’s just not.

[ Scoffs ] Jason’s no longer a part of my life, but that doesn’t stop me from thinking he’s a good guy. Good guys don’t put my daughter at risk. Well, don’t tell me that. Tell him.

[ Jillian rae’s “breathe”

plays ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckles ] Well, there’s lenny playing cupid with the song list, right? Better not disappoint him. Mm. Okay.

Driving on the back roads

[ Laughs ]

The sound of gravel

beneath the tires

kicking up the dirt

and the mud oh, I don’t know what to do. Sonny was my life.

[ Voice breaking ] And he’s gone, and… I don’t know what the future holds with jason. I just know I can’t live in the past. I have to let go. Sonny: That’s easier said than done.

Ashland: Oh, thank you for being so solicitous. I can’t believe what an attractive nurse I got this time.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] Well, you’ve been a really great patient, even though I know you hate the role.

Ashland: But your shift is over. You’ve spent too much time coddling me, and we both have very important things to do. You need to make sure that our merged company is ready to take on the world. And I need to take on what’s best for my son.

Nikki: Well, moses, welcome.

Moses: Thanks for inviting me.

Victor: I’m so happy the two of you could join us and enjoy the pool. We have not gotten a lot of use of it lately. So, I’ll be back.

Nikki: Wait a minute, where are you going?

Victor: I have some unfinished business to deal with, okay? Enjoy yourselves.

Moses: Thank you.

Abby: [ Sighs ] Hi, honey. I miss you so much, chance. I know that you won’t see these videos until you get back, but i felt like I had to document this. And you might notice a big gap between this one and the last, and there’s a reason for that. This is a lot tougher than i thought it would be. And I have something to confess.

Nick: So, it was a great concert. We raised a lot of money for new hope. Really thought I was gonna earn some cool dad points with faith, you know? But then moses shows up with some vip stuff from devon, and i went right back from being the cool dad to just chaperone. Anyway, I’m sure you’ve heard it all from faith.

Sharon: Yeah, her version was a little more pro-moses, but she had a wonderful time.

Nick: You alright? You seem distracted.

Sharon: It’s mariah.

Nick: Is everything okay with her and the baby?

Sharon: I hope so, but i can’t be certain.

Nick: Why not?

Sharon: I haven’t talked to mariah in a while. She’s been unreachable.

Nick: What are you talking about?

Sharon: She replies to my texts sporadically, sends some of her own, but she never reveals where she is, and I — I’ve just started to think something is very wrong.

Nick: Well, what about tessa? Does she know where she is?

Sharon: No, that’s just it. Tessa doesn’t know. Abby doesn’t know. Nobody knows where mariah is.

Ashland: I know you arranged things so you could work from home for the rest of the day, but our newly formed newman-locke corporation needs hands-on leadership, not remote delegating.

Victoria: Well, that might be true, but I can multi-task with the best of them. I can handle your post-treatment nausea while prepping to put our company on the map.

Ashland: You know i appreciate your dedication and devotion, but, really, anything I need, I can get myself.

Victoria: Are you trying to kick me out of my own house?

Ashland: I am, yeah. So get out of here, why don’t you, huh? What would really help my recuperation would be to see you all over the business sites tomorrow morning.

Victoria: Well, I can’t guarantee that’s gonna happen by tomorrow morning, but it will happen very soon. And while you are a very amusing companion, you can be very stubborn.

Ashland: Thank you. I have a plethora of things that need my attention here, including returning kyle’s messages about harrison’s future.

Victoria: Okay, fine, fine. I will head to the office — on one condition. You have to promise to call me if you need anything.

Ashland: I will, but I can’t imagine what that would be.

Victoria: You know, you have been feeling very weak physically, I know that, but you seem somehow — I don’t know, you seem stronger, more determined.

Ashland: Well, my anti-nausea medication is working, and all those hours doing chemo has given me time to think and plan.

Victoria: Alright, well, whatever you decide in terms of harrison, just know I am behind you 100%.

Ashland: Thank you.

Victoria: Alright, call me if you need anything. I’ll see you later.

Ashland: Kyle, ashland locke here. I don’t intend to play phone tag over something as important as the wellbeing of my son. Decisions need to be made.

Nikki: Here.

Moses: Thank you, mrs. Newman, but I’m sure you have more important things to do than get us drinks.

Nikki: Oh, nonsense. Now, I’ve been pouring lemonade and tea for faith her entire life. At first, it was imaginary, though, for miss patsy and faith, but now it’s actually real liquid.

Moses: Wait, who’s miss patsy?

Faith: Never mind. That’s not important.

Moses: No, no, now I’m curious.

Nikki: She was faith’s first friend — a doll.

Faith: This was a long time ago, obviously.

Moses: No, actually, that sounds a lot like my favorite toy — reggie beggie. He was, like, a stuffed dinosaur with a football helmet.

Faith: Yeah, I don’t know if the helmet’s historically accurate.

Moses: No, no, it’s not, but he was a good friend to me growing up. He helped me through a lot of tough times.

Nikki: Well, that sounds like miss patsy. Faith took her everywhere, and she would always ask me to put six sugar cubes in miss patsy’s tea because faith would say, “grandma, she’s so sweet.”

Moses: [ Laughs ]

Nikki: You remember that?

Faith: Yeah, I do, but i don’t know if moses needs to hear all the details about my best friend, the doll.

Moses: Oh, no, are you kidding? I love this. Give me more.

Nikki: Well, I could go on and on. They were inseparable. I remember one time — oh, gosh, faith was maybe five or six, and we’d all piled in the car to go on a picnic. Well, we didn’t get very far.

Ashland: Yeah, jack, it’s ashland here. Would you give me a call as soon as you can? I’ve been trying to reach your son. We need to address this quickly. Thank you. Victor, nice to see you.

Victor: Ashland, nice to see you.

Ashland: Victoria is not here.

Victor: I know, she’s in her office. I came to see you.

Ashland: Ah, I see. I’ve been expecting this.

Victor: Yes. You don’t mind, do you?

Ashland: No, I don’T. Enjoy, please.

Victor: Thank you.

Ashland: So…I know your acceptance of our wedding plans was a bit too easy, but i welcome the opportunity to discuss things further. Victoria and I want the full support of her family.

Victor: I appreciate that.

Ashland: Well, let’s sort things out, shall we? I’m sure you have questions.

Victor: You bet. You know, the entire focus has been on what happens to victoria if you should die shortly. Now, that, of course, is a concern to all of us. But I’m curious as to what will happen if you should actually live. Why new woolite?

Ashland: I’m glad to see you’re thinking optimistically. You’re contemplating my future. No one here thinks I have one.

Victor: They’re all just a bunch of vultures, you know.

Ashland: We’ve come a long way, seeing that you were willing to let me die just months ago.

Victor: Oh, yeah, well, i just wanted you to sign the damn contract, you know? But I do want you to live for decades. I mean that.

Ashland: Thank you. I’m sure you know that the odds of me living even an extra year are slim.

Victor: However, that treatment — that new treatment that you will subject yourself to may prolong your life significantly, right?

Ashland: You know, it’s possible.

Victor: And that’s my concern, ashland. What will happen if you should live much longer?

Ashland: Are you worried about victoria or the company?

Victor: I’ve never worried about victoria, no.

Ashland: So your main concern now is with the new corporation.

Victor: You have been in an advisory role for newman-locke during this interim period. What happens, though, if you should fully recover? I mean, wouldn’t you want to expand upon that role?

Ashland: You know, you’re right. You concern is valid, especially now that your family business is half of the newman-locke conglomerate. Even though you’re not the newman with top billing. But could you blame me if sharing control of the company were to cross my mind?

Nick: So, mariah needs some space. I mean, that’s not unusual. Having your own baby can be stressful enough. You throw in the added element of a surrogacy, I can see how the pressure can go up. And abby’s great, but she’s not exactly low-key.

Sharon: I don’t think abby is the problem. She’s been really supportive. I thought, like you, it makes sense that mariah needed some time to herself, but…

Nick: You don’t believe that anymore.

Sharon: The whole thing feels off. Yesterday, we all reached out to her — me, tessa, and abby — we sent her personal messages telling her how much we love her and how much we want to help her.

Nick: I guess that didn’t go well?

Sharon: “Stop pressuring me. I’ll be home when I’m ready. Your ‘intervention’ is just making it worse. It’s time to back off.”

Nick: Mm. Yeah, I mean, it sounds harsh, but honestly, mariah can be harsh at times.

Sharon: Well, I’ve considered that, but it still just seems very strange. Look, I, um — I haven’t mentioned this to faith. I don’t want her to worry.

Nick: Yeah, I’m on board with that. I won’t say a word. Just, you know, let me know if there’s anything I can, okay?

Sharon: Thanks. I appreciate that.

Nick: What’s up, rey?

Rey: What’s up? Filled him in?

Sharon: Yeah, I thought he should know.

Nick: You know what? I’m gonna let you two talk. Again, if there’s anything I can do, don’t hesitate to ask.

Sharon: Thanks.

Nick: Hey, perfect timing. Sit down. I heard you have some news.

Victoria: Oh, really? Where did you hear that?

Nick: Mom. She didn’t say what it was, so what’s going on?

Victoria: Well, I’ve been a little nervous to tell you.

Nick: It’s got to be something big.

Victoria: It is. Ashland and I are engaged.

Nick: Wow. You two are giving new meaning to the term “whirlwind romance.”

Victoria: So you don’t approve?

Nick: I didn’t say that.

Victoria: Well, what are you saying?

Abby: And so mariah’s gone. I don’t know where she is. I don’t know where our baby is. And I have no news on the pregnancy because I just don’t know anything. There’s no new sonogram pics, no bump update, no description of those little baby kicks. I mean, I don’t even know how big mariah’s bump is. Is it the size of a — of a basketball, a beach ball? I don’t know. And I’m so sorry because I feel like I let you down. I don’t know if our baby’s safe. And for whatever reason mariah’s gone, I should have seen it coming. I am supposed to keep her here to make her feel protected and cared for, and if I can’t do that, then what kind of mother am I gonna be?

[ Sighs ]

Rey: Dead ends everywhere i looked.

Sharon: You still couldn’t trace mariah’s cellphone location?

Rey: I’m afraid not. I went beyond the app I tried using before, used the gcpd’s most advanced technology, and i finally got past the signal blocker.

Sharon: Well, that’s good, right?

Rey: Well, it should’ve been enough to give us some information, but there was a secondary level of security.

Sharon: What does that mean?

Rey: Well, it was like a kind of scrambler. It moved the signal all over the place so it couldn’t be pinpointed.

Sharon: This sounds like something out of a movie.

Rey: Yeah, you’d need a real sophisticated understanding of cellular tracking to pull it off. It’s definitely the work of an expert.

Sharon: Which mariah definitely is not.

Rey: Yeah, I thought the same thing.

Sharon: She couldn’t have done this. So what does that mean?

Moses: That was fun.

Nikki: Well, I’m glad you enjoyed yourselves.

Faith: Yeah, it felt good to get in the water on a hot day like this.

Nikki: Okay, moses, are you ready to hear more about faith growing up?

Faith: Grandma, please. You have to be out of stories by now.

Nikki: Oh, no, I’ve got a million of them.

Faith: Oh, I think I left my phone out by the pool.

Moses: Oh, I can — I’ll grab it for you.

Faith: Thank you.

Nikki: He is so considerate.

Faith: He is. But you may have scared him off with all those stories.

Nikki: Oh, now, it’s a grandmother’s prerogative to talk about a granddaughter. And I don’t think he was horrified at all. To the contrary. Oh, I so wish neil were here to see you having so much fun spending time together.

Faith: You need to stop trying to make this more than a friendship.

Nikki: Are you sure that’s all it is? I mean, he is so cute.

Faith: Grandma.

Nikki: Well, I remember when you told me you wanted to take the relationship to a deeper level.

Faith: I know.

Nikki: Well, has something changed?

Faith: No.

Nikki: I understand. You’ve had a very hard year, right after your mother’s very traumatic year. You’re waiting for something bad to happen. Darling, it’s okay. I mean, you should enjoy your time with moses. It’s alright to be happy.

Faith: Thank you.

Moses: Got your phone. And it looks like you got a new text from…miss patsy.

Nikki: [ Gasps ] Oh!

[ Laughs ]

Nick: You know what? I don’t think my opinion about you getting married matters. Are you happy?

Victoria: I am. I’m very happy.

Nick: Well, that’s what’s important.

Victoria: But I would be even happier if my brother would share in this special moment with me.

Nick: Vick, come on, I would love to shout it from the rooftops how happy I am about this, but I just — I mean, it’s so fast, and I — I don’t want to sound insensitive, but isn’t ashland, like, dying?

Victoria: Well, I — i actually have good news on that front. He’s decided to try some treatment. He’s actually undergoing a very promising type of chemotherapy.

Nick: If it were really promising, would you two be rushing into a wedding?

Victoria: Nobody’s rushing anywhere.

Nick: Look, I don’t want to argue about this with you, okay?

Victoria: I just was hoping that you would be on board. Even dad is happy for me.

Nick: Seriously?

Victoria: Yeah, seriously. We had a great talk, great long talk, and he supports this and he thinks that ashland is great for me, and it meant the world to me.

Nick: Well, I’m glad you two are finally agreeing on something.

Victoria: I understand that you have concerns, and I can tell that you still don’t approve.

Nick: [ Sighs ] Look, I just love you, alright? And I will reserve judgment until I have a little talk with ashland. Then I’ll make up my mind about what I think.

Victoria: Yes, that’s all I’m saying. Just spend some time with him, get to know him. I think you two will really like each other. I-I just want the whole family to make ashland feel welcome and accepted.

Nick: Well, I’m gonna grill him like he’s picking you up for prom.

Victoria: Good, it’ll be fun watching him hold his own against you.

Nick: We’ll see about that.

Ashland: I just think it’s extraordinary what victoria has accomplished, merging these two companies, you know? She worked long and hard. I think she deserves a moment in the sun, don’t you?

Ashland: I agree.

Victor: Yeah. I’d hate to find out that you took advantage of the situation.

Ashland: I have no idea how that would even work ’cause no one’s taking advantage of anyone here. Victoria and I have made decisions together every step of the way. We are moving forward with open eyes.

Victor: I just find it curious, ashland, that shortly after merging these two arguably most powerful corporations in the world, you decided to seek treatment for your illness and then marry my daughter in quick succession.

Ashland: You know, the situation I’m in doesn’t allow for a lot of contemplation. Whether you know it or not, in the best of times, I’ve always acted very decisively and moved swiftly.

Victor: But how fortuitous it would be if you were to recover from your illness and then suddenly step in as the head of this worldwide empire.

Ashland: Let me get this straight. You’re implying that I faked my fatal illness in an attempt to put together this merger? Is that what you’re saying?

Victor: I think you’re getting the drift.

Ashland: [ Laughs ] That’s rich. Now, we all know progressive offers 24/7 protection,

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Ashland: I’m flattered, really, that you would think i could be so diabolical and ruthless. You know, it’s a badge of honor between men like us.

Victor: You know, ashland, it’s all well and good, but you haven’t told me if you think my hypothesis is accurate.

Ashland: This time your instincts have let you down.

Victor: Hmm.

Ashland: I’m sick, victor. I’m very sick. I can’t even imagine inventing a situation like this one. You give me too much credit. And if you don’t believe me, you’ll get your proof if these treatments don’t work.

[ Chuckles ] You know, with that unreadable expression of yours, I can never tell exactly where I stand with you.

Victor: I’ve been told that before.

Ashland: I’m sure. You know, now I have a question for you.

Victor: Hmm.

Ashland: Knowing what you know about the situation with victoria and me and this whole scenario, if I were to collapse on the floor right now, how much time would you wait to call 911?

Victoria: Well, hello.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Victoria: What’s going on?

Ashland: Well, your father was just wondering if I faked my illness in order to conjure up the merger between newman and locke.

Victoria: What?

Ashland: The plan involves me surviving so I can take over our new company, which would be more powerful than the company that i spent an entire lifetime building. That’s more or less it, right, victor?

Victor: That’s about the gist of it.

Victoria: Dad, how could you?

Abby: I know you don’t want to hear this, but I’m really hurting right now. I’m all alone. And two of the most important people in my life are unreachable. It’s almost too much to bear. And I may not understand mariah’s texts or what they mean, but I do know you. And I know exactly what you would do in this situation. I can hear your voice in my head and I know that — that you would hold me and you would use that reassuring voice and you would tell me that it’s not my fault — even when it partially is. And you would rub my shoulders, like you always do. And you would tell me that it was all gonna work out. You would see a strength in me that I didn’t know that I had. And I would find the strength to get through this. And that’s what I have to do right now. So, chance, I’m not gonna sit here anymore. I’m not gonna wait and worry. I hear you. And I will not let you or our baby down.

[ Sighs ]

Rey: I completely agree with you. Mariah could not have constructed a system like that. I mean, I’ve seen her have trouble with apps on her own phone. But that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t know somebody with those skills.

Sharon: Is that what you think happened?

Rey: Well, she could have someone helping her cover her tracks. Does she have any technically savvy friends?

Sharon: Yeah, kevin fisher. He knows a lot about this kind of stuff. He could’ve helped her.

Rey: Yeah, that’s the first person I thought of, too.

Sharon: Did you ask him about it?

Rey: I did. He is worried about mariah. It’s genuine. I don’t think he would help her hide from people who care about her. I think he’d try to talk her out of something like that.

Sharon: Yeah, that seems right. Kevin’s done some shady things in his past, but he’s always had her best interests at heart. But that means that tessa might be right, that mariah is being held against her will.

Rey: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Sharon: Okay, but if she is, if she’s in trouble, she needs our help.

Rey: Slow down. We don’t need to worry about “what ifs” until we get more facts. Look, I’m gonna keep digging, alright? But tell me this — do you know anyone who would have a reason to abduct mariah?

Sharon: There was this man named ian ward.

Rey: Yeah, okay, you’ve told me about him. The leader of the cult she grew up in.

Sharon: He was a little obsessed with mariah. He wanted to make her his wife.

Rey: Okay.

Sharon: But he’s in prison.

Rey: Well, I will check to make sure that he’s still there. But it seems unlikely that it would be him. I mean, we would’ve heard if he’d been released.

Sharon: Well, I can’t think of anyone else who would want to hurt mariah.

Rey: Well, what about that trouble that tessa had gotten herself into? Could any of those people that she was involved with want to strike back at tessa by taking mariah?

Sharon: I really don’t think so. There’s nothing left of that crime ring.

Rey: Well, give me all the information you have on them so I can make sure. I’m going to dig into her credit cards and her bank accounts and see if we can come up with anything.

Sharon: I thought you said you needed a warrant or at least paul’s permission to do something like that.

Rey: I do. And I think it’s time we make this investigation official.

Sharon: You know I’ve had my suspicions for a while, but hearing you say that you think something is wrong, now I am really scared.

Rey: Listen to me. If mariah’s in danger, I will find her and I will bring her home. I promise you. Your heart is at the heart of everything you do.

Sharon: Oh, hi, abby.

Abby: Sharon.

Sharon: Oh, hi, abby.

Abby: I need to know something. What did you think of mariah’s response to our intervention?

Sharon: Um…I’m not sure.

Abby: I mean, what did she want us to do with that text? I mean, is she really that desperate for us to back off? That doesn’t even sound like her.

Sharon: Text messages are hard to interpret. What did tessa think?

Abby: Tessa is convinced that someone took mariah, so she went to go see her sister to see if it’s maybe someone from their past.

Sharon: [ Sighs ] Rey found that the method used to hide the location of mariah’s phone is very high-tech. It’s very professional.

Abby: Oh, my god. Tessa’s right, someone has her.

Sharon: Well, it doesn’t prove anything.

Abby: Well, it looks worse and worse. What are we gonna do now?

Sharon: Rey had decided to open an official police investigation. He’s gonna use all the resources of the department, and right now he’s checking on her credit card use, so that should give us some leads. But if mariah is in trouble, rey will find her.

Abby: He has to. Nothing can happen to mariah and our baby.

Victoria: You come into my house and you —

Ashland: Victoria, I’m not upset. It’s a valid concern. I’m sure I would have the same suspicions if I was in victor’s place.

Victor: Now, darling, when one considers a man of ashland’s reputation, all possibilities must be considered.

Ashland: Your father’s intentions were honorable.

Victoria: He accused you of faking a serious illness.

Ashland: Well, in order to gauge my intentions, no doubt. I’m not insulted at all. And to be honest, you know, it’s a ploy that at one point, when I was young, that I may have contemplated in order to gain control of a company. But I give you my word, victor, that my sickness is real, as is my love for your daughter. And if you want, I will share with you my medical records if that will put your mind at ease. As for my love for victoria, there are no official documents to prove that. I hope that my determination to get well and to stay alive so I can spend this time with your daughter will prove what’s in my heart.

Victoria: Is that what you wanted to hear?

Victor: Yes, it is, my dear. Ashland, I want to thank you. I appreciate very much you clearing up my doubts.

Faith: I’m sorry about my grandma. I didn’t think that she would tell you all of my embarrassing stories.

Moses: Are you kidding me? They weren’t embarrassing at all. I mean, you were a little kid, of course you played with dolls.

Faith: Well, I loved hearing about reggie beggie.

Moses: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, you’re gonna have to ask devon or lily what I was like when i was younger. I’m sure they’ll tell you I had a stuffed animal collection.

Faith: [ Chuckles ]

Moses: You know your grandmother meant well. Right? She just likes the fact that the two of us are friends.

Faith: My grandma thinks that we’re more than friends.

Moses: Really? Are we?

Faith: Maybe.

Moses: Maybe? That sounds good. That gives me hope.

Faith: I… I want to be more than friends.

Moses: You do?

Faith: I know we were trying to take it slow, but…I feel like I’m ready for more.

Faith: I — we —

Nick: What is going on here?

Victor: Well, victoria was upset with me. But ashland locke seems to understand my concerns.

Nikki: I really wish you had let me know what you were up to.

Victor: You would’ve told me not to do it.

Nikki: You’re absolutely right.

Victor: You know, I’m very unhappy about my relationship with victoria. Every time I say something, she seems to be upset.

Nikki: Well, you did go behind her back to interrogate her fiancé.

Victor: Sweetheart, doesn’t she understand that I’m doing it for her, out of love for her? I don’t want her to be taken advantage of by ashland locke. You know, I know these guys. They’re sharks. I just am very upset that perhaps my relationship with victoria will never get back to what it once was.

Nikki: Darling, maybe right now she can only see the meddling and not the motive behind it. Perhaps the most loving thing you can do for her right now is to step back completely and let her fly on her own.

Victor: [ Scoffs ] Yeah, well…

Victoria: I tell you, I just don’t understand it. How my father could accuse you of something so heinous. Alright, I do understand it. You know why? Because the plan that he laid out is exactly something that he would do. He actually thinks that other people’s minds work the same way as his. He’s always been like that.

Ashland: Well, then maybe you should stop letting him upset you and just accept the fact that he’s never gonna change.

Victoria: So I’m supposed to just put up with this behavior for the rest of time?

Ashland: Why don’t we do something to take your mind off victor? Let’s go for a ride around the lake or a walk in the woods, something soothing.

Victoria: That’s a great idea. I know just the spot.

[ Cellphone chimes ]

Ashland: It’s jack abbott. I couldn’t reach kyle earlier, so I left him a message. I told him that we need to finally decide on harrison’s future.

Victoria: What have you decided?

Abby: [ Sighs ] Tessa, hey, it’s me, abby. Call me when you can. I wanted to see how everything is going with your sister. Could really use some good news right now. Call me.

Sharon: Did you find anything?

Abby: Is mariah using her credit cards?

Sharon: What did you find out?

Rey: Unfortunately, not much. There’s been zero activity on her credit cards, no money has been extracted from her bank accounts, and she hasn’t made a single call from her phone, only texts.

Abby: That’s not possible. If mariah was doing this on her own, I mean, she would need money, she would have to pay for a hotel, food. She’d have to use her cards.

Sharon: She would have to call someone at some point.

Abby: Okay, that’s it. We have to face the facts. Mariah did not run away, something has happened to her.

Next week on

“the young and the restless”…

Nick: For the next few hours, it’s gonna be a tribute to all the things about you that make me crazy. I’m calling it “phyllis appreciation day.”

Nikki: Well, I am very protective about the people i love. And make no mistake, my husband isn’t the only one who knows how to take matters into his own hands.

Lauren: What am I toasting to?

Me, of course. Lauren, this is my last day as your assistant.

Adam: I assume this is about chelsea?

Rey: No, mariah copeland. I was wondering the last time you had contact with her.

Devon: Hey, you.

Elena: Hey.

Devon: How you doing? Need caffeine already?

Elena: Yeah, is it that obvious? You want to join me?

Devon: Sure.

Elena: I need to get off of my feet. I’ve worked two consecutive shifts, and I am beat.

Devon: Man, that sounds rough. I’m sorry.

Elena: [ Sighs ] Honestly, I shouldn’t even be complaining. Nate’s practically been sleeping at the hospital since he got his big promotion.

Devon: I wasn’t aware that he got any promotion. He hasn’t said anything to me about it.

Elena: Oh. He probably hasn’t mentioned it ’cause he hasn’t had the time. He’s been so busy.

Devon: What’s the job?

Elena: Your cousin is the new chief of surgery at memorial.

Devon: Chief of surgery?

Elena: Mm-hmm.

Devon: That’s interesting. I thought that was the job that abby’s ex stitch was offered ’cause that’s apparently the whole reason he’s moving back to genoa city.

Elena: No, you must have misunderstood. His actual first day was today. He’s been knocking himself out trying to get up to speed with everything.

Devon: Wow. I’m surprised this is the first I’m hearing about it. How’s that gonna work out for the two of you? Is it gonna make things weird?

Elena: Why?

Devon: ‘Cause that means he’s your boss now, right?

Amanda: Good morning.

Phyllis: Hey.

Amanda: I am so sorry that I’m running late.

Phyllis: Oh, no, that’s okay.

Amanda: I see you already ordered our drinks.

Phyllis: Yes, I did. You know, I owe you one. You were the one who helped me break down the timeline about when summer decided to leave kyle. You helped me focus on when exactly she was offered that job in milan, and I really appreciate it.

Amanda: No, no, I didn’t do much. I just applied a bit of critical analysis to the facts — your facts.

Phyllis: You’re so modest. Yes, you did a lot. Seriously. You helped me uncover that tara and sally were completely behind getting my daughter out of town. And by the way, those two little girls got what they deserved.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ] Well, I am just glad that I was able to help. I know this is bittersweet for you, though, you know, since summer and kyle decided to stay in milan.

Phyllis: Yeah. I did all of that work to get her to come back. Doesn’t seem like such a victory to me..

Amanda: Yeah, but, hey, you were right, right? And you saved summer from a lot of heartache, so that is something to celebrate. Right? Look at how well everything is going for everyone you care about. Hmm?

Nick: Hey, jack.

Jack: Hey.

Nick: How you holding up? I, uh — I know you’ve been hit with a lot lately, with finding out about sally and tara’s arrest and then kyle deciding to stay in milan.

Jack: Yeah, I’m still processing everything. I know phyllis was hoping that summer would come home after the truth came out. I talked with her at great length yesterday about how shocked she was they decided to stay in milan to allow for summer to enjoy that career opportunity.

Nick: Yeah, phyllis is very disappointed.

Jack: Yeah, so am I. It’s so strange that kyle is gonna be so far away, but i couldn’t be any happier that he and summer finally have a chance after all the extremes that sally and tara went to to keep them apart.

Nick: I know you were starting to hang out with sally again. Phyllis seemed pretty confident that it hadn’t gotten too deep before everything blew up. Is she right about that?

Victoria: You need to be thoroughly hydrated for your treatment. Have you been drinking enough water?

Ashland: Yes, plenty.

Victoria: Okay, well, that’s good. And the doctor’s office said to keep a bunch of those little ginger candies and ginger tea on hand just in case you get nauseous, so I’m all stocked up.

Ashland: I don’t think all that will be necessary.

Victoria: Well, we’re gonna follow the doctor’s orders to make sure that everything goes smoothly, and I’m gonna be there with you, keeping you company the whole time.

Ashland: Oh, you don’t need to go with me. I’m just gonna be sitting in a chair with a needle in my arm for god knows how long. And I will have bach’s brandenburg concertos there to keep me entertained for the duration. I’ll be fine.

Victoria: Just at least let me drop you off, and then I can pick you up when you’re done.

Ashland: As long as it doesn’t interfere with the rest of your day. The post-merger transition still needs a lot of oversight, and i want you to continue with the business of living.

Victoria: And that’s exactly what I intend to do. But before I focus on our business merger, there is a little matter with our personal merger. I know that we said we’d wait, but I need to share the happy news of our engagement with a few people.

Ashland: Oh.

Billy: Wow. Our phones are blowing up this morning.

Lily: I know. That tara locke arrest was a real shocker. Staff is really busy.

Billy: We’ve got a lot of work to do to make sure that we cover this story thoroughly. It’s a good thing victoria’s coming over to spend some time with the kids before she takes them to day camp.

Lily: Yeah, it’ll make it easier to focus.

[ Cellphones chime ]

Billy: Geez, are you kidding me? Well, our reporters are already all over it, questioning sources and staying on top of the details.

Lily: [ Chuckles ] You love this, don’t you?

Billy: It’s the best part of the journalism game — tracking down all the facts until it all comes together.

Lily: Well, I got to say, your instincts about tara were spot on.

Billy: Well, it was clear she was trying way too hard to ingratiate herself into the abbott family. And this is definitely one of those times that phyllis’ meddling paid off. Once we were able to compare notes, she was off to the races, which led to tara being arrested for embezzling money from her own company.

Lily: Yeah, I mean, that was bad, but what’s worse is using her own child to blackmail summer into leaving town.

Billy: Well, this is definitely gonna drive a lot of traffic to the chanccomm news site. Looks like the lockes are the gift that keeps on giving.

Jack: I guess it’s no secret that there was something about sally I found very attractive. Her fearless spirit, her willingness to take on the world. Very enticing qualities. The very same qualities that make sally her own worst enemy.

Nick: Yeah, phyllis and sally are a lot alike in that way. Reckless abandon can be intoxicating.

Jack: Fortunately, my relationship with sally never got that far. I was never that invested. In no small part because of phyllis. She played the spoiler all the way through.

Nick: [ Sighs ] I tried to warn her several times to just stay out of your business.

Jack: Yeah, so did I, but you know what? She wasn’t wrong. She saw a train wreck coming a mile away. She was determined — absolutely determined — to open my eyes about sally, and I owe her a debt of gratitude. There was nothing she wouldn’t do to stop me from making a huge mistake.

Nick: Phyllis certainly knows you well.

Jack: Maybe better than anyone.

Phyllis: You know, I knew that sally was nothing but heartache for jack — that’s why I was determined to keep her away from him.

Amanda: Well, he is really lucky to have a friend like you.

Phyllis: Yeah. You know, a lot of people are lucky to know me.

Amanda: [ Chuckles ]

Phyllis: I mean, what did i do? I reunited my daughter with the love of her life. I uncovered an actual crime — tara’s embezzlement. And I stopped lauren from going into business with a crook.

Amanda: Okay, as an attorney, I would advise that you never speak of how you managed to do that. As your friend, I think it was kick-ass.

Phyllis: You’ve been kicking ass, by the way — I mean, legally speaking.

Amanda: Mm, yeah, I have been. I want to make sure that I get justice for my father and hilary. You know, in some ways, my mother. She was sutton’s first victim. He crushed her spirit decades ago, and he made sure that everything in her life was about him and protecting his image.

Phyllis: Well, here’s to saving the world from selfish, manipulative people one person at a time.

Amanda: Cheers.

Phyllis: Clink.

[ Laughs ]

Lily: Well, the kids are ready to go. They’re very excited to see you. They’re just finishing up their game.

Victoria: Thank you both for stepping up with the kids. I really appreciate it. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to know that I can count on you. You’ve really gone the extra mile to make this work.

Lily: Of course, yeah. We’re just all working together in the best interest of the children, as it should be.

Victoria: [ Chuckles ] I agree. That’s why I stopped by early. I have something important that I want to share with the kids, but first, I’d like to tell both of you.

Billy: Okay.

Victoria: Ashland and I are engaged. When I get a migraine,

Billy: Wow. I, uh — I just — I didn’t see this coming.

Victoria: Well, neither did I. Ashland surprised me with a proposal while we were in new york.

Billy: Which is what we talked about, how your relationship would be moving a little bit quicker than it would have otherwise because of ashland’s illness.

Victoria: So do you disapprove?

Billy: No, no, that’s not what I’m saying. I mean…I approve, and I’ve said so in the past. I just, um — I mean, clearly you’ve fallen for the guy, but getting married, vick, are you sure?

Victoria: Yes, I am. I love him, and he loves me.

Lily: Yeah, billy, you said yourself that victoria has met her match in ashland.

Victoria: Uh, ashland starts the chemo for his illness today. It’s a cutting-edge protocol.

Billy: Well, that’s good. I thought he was adamant about not getting treatment and he didn’t want to spend whatever time he had left in a hospital bed. So I guess you were able to convince him otherwise.

Victoria: Well, it’s something that we decided together. I have faith that this is gonna prolong his life, and ashland wants me by his side through the treatment and beyond as his wife, and I want to help him fight this.

Lily: Yeah, I’m really sure this engagement has given him more motivation to live. And I think it’s really brave what you’re doing. I know how scary it is to face cancer and your own mortality, so I really hope that this new treatment will give him — you know, both of you — the future that you’re dreaming of.

Victoria: Thank you. That means a lot. Billy, I know what you’re thinking. It’s okay. And I appreciate that you care enough to worry.

Moses: Congratulations on your big promotion, man.

Nate: Oh, thanks, buddy. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a lot of responsibility, not to mention the long hours.

Moses: Yeah, well, you got to expect that, mr. Chief of surgery.

Nate: Yeah, that’s kind of what I wanted to talk with you about.

Moses: Okay. What’s up?

Nate: There’s gonna be a lot of changes in my life with this promotion. I’m not gonna be as available for you at the hospital or askmdnow. I’m still committed to making this work for you at both places, but I also know you started to question whether you really want to pursue a career in medicine.

Moses: Yeah. I really appreciate what you’ve done for me since I’ve been here. I mean, setting up my volunteer work at the hospital and my internship.

Nate: I mean, well, you told me being a doctor was a dream of yours. Of course I wanted to do everything I could to help you realize it. And now, if you’re having doubts, I’m more than happy to talk with you, you know, help you figure out whatever’s best for you.

Moses: You know, at first, i thought it was just what happened to you when you had that allergic reaction and i froze. You know, I started to wonder if I could handle all the things that I’ve seen doctors do at the hospital. And I believe you when you said that med students freeze at the first time they see stuff like that. And I appreciate the time you’ve given me to think this through, but I think it was more than that.

Nate: What do you mean?

Moses: That dream I had, it was just an idea of what being a doctor was like. And you gave me the opportunity to see the reality of it, and i appreciate that, but I realize now that it’s not what I want to do anymore.

Elena: I never actually thought about nate being my boss. I was so excited about his big promotion that it just never dawned on me. But now that you mention it…

Devon: Well, no, hey, i didn’t say it ’cause I think it’s gonna be a bad thing. You know, you guys have been working together for a while at the clinic. You’re both professionals, both respect each other. It seems like you guys have gotten back to a good place personally, too.

Elena: Yeah, you’re right. And somehow, in spite of everything, our relationship has grown stronger in the past couple of months and things feel more solid.

Devon: There you go. That’s good. You have nothing to worry about. If anybody can figure out how to balance their work and personal lives, it’s the two of you, especially after everything you’ve been through. Not gonna let something like this get in your way. We don’t use just any wipe,

Moses: I feel kind of bad, you know, coming here all hyped up wanting to go into medicine.

Nate: No.

Moses: You went through so much trouble for me.

Nate: Not at all. Dude, you’re 16 and nowhere near figuring out what life is all about. You’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. Finding out that medicine isn’t your thing, it puts you ahead of the game. Being a doctor and all it entails just isn’t for everybody.

Moses: I get that now. I just can’t help but feel like I’ve wasted your time.

Nate: You didn’t waste a minute. As long as you learned from it all, it was time well spent. I don’t want to hear you talking like that.

Moses: Okay, thanks.

Nate: Look, you had an interest and pursued it with drive and passion and found out it wasn’t exactly what you expected. That was a valuable experience. There is no shame in that. You learned a lot about yourself and got to see a slice of the world not many people ever see.

Moses: Hmm.

Nate: So no more looking backwards. Let’s move forward. Time to make a new plan.

Moses: Yeah, maybe I should check a few things out, take a couple new electives this fall.

Nate: Didn’t you say you had some interest in the music industry? What devon does?

Moses: Yeah.

Nate: Maybe you should look into some classes that would dovetail with that type of career.

Moses: [ Exhales ] Thanks for being so understanding. You know, I think part of my interest in medicine was tied in with losing my dad.

Nate: Hmm.

Moses: And, you know, maybe the music thing is, too. It was something he was interested in.

Nate: You never know. Some things are in the dna.

Moses: No, I — I can’t help but wonder how cool it would be to be a part of hamilton-winters.

Nate: Mm, yeah.

Moses: Just trying to find my spot, you know?

Nate: I do. And you need to know, you’ve got my support, whatever you decide.

Victoria: Where’s lily?

Billy: She took off. She had a meeting at the office. So how did the kids take the big news?

Victoria: They seemed very receptive. Johnny admitted he was a little sad because of all of this talk about ashland’s illness, but he’s looking at it as a sign that he might get better.

Billy: Optimistic. That’s my boy.

Victoria: Yes. He also compared it to one of his video games where everybody wins if they work together.

Billy: [ Chuckles ] That’s a very sophisticated thought for a kid his age.

Victoria: You know, both of our kids seem excited about the changes in their parents’ lives.

Billy: Yeah, they’re resilient. They’re pretty amazing.

Victoria: Well, they have certainly had their fair share of things to deal with.

Billy: Yeah, well, we all have. Look, I don’t want to add anything on top of everything you’re going through, but you know chanccomm is going to have to cover the story about tara’s arrest. It is news.

Victoria: Yes, it was quite a turn of events.

Billy: And I hope I’m not gonna get any pushback from ashland. I promised not to cover any stories about his illness, but this is a completely different issue.

Victoria: Well, I doubt that he’ll be very upset. He’s not interested in protecting tara. However, he doesn’t want harrison to find out that his mother’s been arrested.

Billy: Speaking of harrison, is he gonna be moving in with the two of you? Have you told the kids that they’re gonna have to share their toys with a new stepbrother?

Victoria: I don’t know. We haven’t decided yet. Everything’s just been moving so quickly. Ashland still has things to work out with jack and kyle, but now kyle’s moved to milan, so that’s further complicated things.

Billy: Yeah, I can understand why that would be an issue for ashland.

Victoria: How does chanccomm intend to portray him in this? I hope that you’re not planning on making him look complicit in anyway, because if you do, you’re gonna have a problem — not just with ashland, but also with me.

Billy: Come on, you don’t believe he had nothing to do with this, right? I mean, do you not think that he had any idea what tara was up to and he just turned a blind eye?

Victoria: He knew nothing about it. Why would he? Tara’s crimes, they didn’t benefit him at all.

Billy: So you think she could’ve pulled this off by herself.

Victoria: This was all tara. Maybe she was secretly protecting herself because she didn’t want ashland to find out about the affair or about harrison’s paternity, so she was siphoning off her investors to create a financial safety net for herself.

Billy: Well, I understand that motivation, but you do realize that creates a whole other problem.

Victoria: What does that mean?

Billy: If that is the focus of the story, that means this is about tara, her affair with my nephew, and the child that resulted. That puts not only harrison, but the abbott family smack in the middle of it.

[ Knock on door ]

Lily: Jack, hello.

Jack: How are you, lily?

Lily: I’m good. Sorry, billy’s not here. He’s actually at the house still ’cause victoria stopped by to visit.

Jack: Actually, I don’t need to talk to my brother just yet. I want to know if chanccomm is planning on running a story about tara locke’s arrest.

Lily: Well, I mean, everybody else is, so why wouldn’t we?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Phyllis: You know, I was certain that nick was gonna get mad at me and stop me from “meddling,” you know, in the tara/sally thing.

Amanda: He didn’t?

Phyllis: He didn’T. Can you believe that? In fact, he helped me. He was the one who talked to tara’s accountant. He got the accountant to flip.

Amanda: Yes, but summer’s happiness and her future was at stake. Nick would do anything for her, so I just — I don’t think that you should see this as a blanket endorsement for your meddling tendencies.

Phyllis: Oh, you mean my, um, unwavering desire to help people that I love? Is that what you’re talking about?

Amanda: I suppose you could see it that way, yes. Okay.

Phyllis: Well, I’ll continue to protect people I love, for sure. And nick will continue to love me, even if it drives him crazy.

Amanda: That is amazing, being loved like that, huh? Just even if it comes with baggage and complications, it’s just… [ Sighs ]

Phyllis: We’re not talking about me anymore. What’s going on with you?

Amanda: Devon told me that he’s in love with me.

Phyllis: What? Why didn’t you lead with that?

Amanda: I don’t know.

Phyllis: Seriously, that’s amazing. Of course he’s in love with you ’cause you’re amazing, that’s why. Look at — and I’m so glad I talked you out of leaving him. Look at what I do for people. Look at this. I’m batting 1,000.

Amanda: [ Sighs ] I just — I feel so lucky right now, you know, loving and being loved by this amazing man. And then I found my family and I’m building a relationship with my mother after all of these years. And despite this whole ordeal with sutton, I just — I feel so lucky and I feel like it is so much more than I have ever expected and maybe more than i deserve.

Phyllis: Oh, no, you deserve this. You deserve this. Every bit of it.

Devon: Well, hey, congratulations on your big promotion that I had to hear about from elena.

Nate: [ Chuckles ]

Moses: It’s a pretty impressive new position, cuz. I’m proud to call you family.

Nate: Proud of you, too, moses. You know, not many kids your age give their career goals a serious thought. Considering your options and testing them out, smart move.

Moses: You know, I’ve been thinking maybe I could do something for hamilton-winters’ music division? Nate and I have been talking about maybe setting up a plan.

Devon: Yeah, man, that’s — that’s great advice. I remember when our dad told me to do the same thing when I was about your age. He said that I needed to visualize my goals and what i saw myself accomplishing, and then I’d be able to make the right choices to get there, so that changed my life when I did it.

Moses: Not sure what I want to do right now. I was so focused on medicine, i never really had a second option. But I’m really excited about music industry, and I just want to learn more about it, maybe see where I can fit in.

Devon: Yeah, yeah, for sure, man. I think the best thing to do would just be to get you into the studio, you know? Just have some hands-on experience, see how things work. I’ll set up an internship for you.

Moses: [ Chuckles ] Yeah, thanks. That sounds cool.

Devon: Absolutely. You got it, man. Now, know, though, it’s not as glamorous as you probably imagine. There is some hard work to be done.

Nate: Don’t get it twisted, though, it’s not brain surgery.

Moses: [ Chuckles ]

Devon: Well, no, no, it’s definitely not what dr. Askmdnow is up to, you know. That’s a whole nother thing. Soon you’re not gonna be able to go outside without an entourage.

Moses: Yeah, nate, I mean, you’re getting so famous, i don’t think you can walk outside without body guards.

Nate: [ Laughs ]

Moses: I’ve seen how people look at you when they recognize you.

Nate: Ha-ha-ha-ha. Very funny, alright? But seriously, though, moses, you’ve proven you’re willing to work hard to get where you want to be. Now you just have to follow neil’s advice to devon.

Devon: That’s right, just visualize your goals.

Nate: And follow your instincts and your heart.

Devon: And then you find a passion and you go for it.

Ashland: Please stop fussing over me, darling. I’m fine. I just hate that I interrupted your day. You know, I could’ve driven myself home.

Victoria: I’m just really glad to hear you don’t feel tired or worn out.

Ashland: My only complaint is that it was a tedious experience, even with bach.

Victoria: Ashland?

If you have postmenopausal

osteoporosis

Nate: So, moses has decided that the field of medicine is just not for him.

Elena: Really? He seemed so sure he wanted to be a doctor.

Nate: Witnessing my allergic reaction turned out to be a game-changer. I got to admit, I can’t help being a little disappointed. You know, I love the idea of mentoring my young cousin, being there for him the way my mother was for me. But that was about me. I fully support whatever he decides to do.

Elena: He’s still gonna come to you if he has a problem. It’s not like you lost your bond.

Nate: I honestly just want moses to find his passion, to be as happy and fulfilled with his career as we are in ours.

Elena: No, he has a long time to figure out what’s right for him.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Ahh. It’s the hospital. They need me back to assist with a surgery.

Nate: Hey, that’s the price you pay for being so good at what you’re passionate about.

Elena: Ugh. Thanks, but after two long shifts, I’m exhausted. I’m tempted to find someone to cover my shift.

Nate: Well, you know, I could take a look at the schedule, shift a few things around now that —

Elena: Hey. Don’t even joke about that.

Victoria: Hi. How are you feeling now that you’ve taken your medication?

Ashland: You know, I think I’ll be okay once it kicks in. Doctors told me to be prepared for this. It just hit me so suddenly. Please don’t worry. This is all part of the process. Promise me you’re gonna get on with your day.

Victoria: I’ve already arranged to work from home.

Ashland: Of course you did. You — you’re always prepared for any possible outcome.

Victoria: Well, I am perfectly capable of managing the company while taking care of the people that I love who need me.

Phyllis: Are your ears burning?

Nick: Excuse me?

Phyllis: I was having mimosas with amanda, and I was talking about how amazing you are.

Nick: Mm. Were you talking about my ruggedly handsome good lucks or my muscular physique?

Phyllis: Nope. Your personality. And how you not only supported me when I went after tara and sally, but you helped.

Nick: So you love me because I will acknowledge when you’re right about something.

Phyllis: Yeah, yeah, that’s one of the reasons.

Nick: Alright. Well, while you were having a girl talk with amanda, I was having a guy talk with jack. And your name happened to come up.

Phyllis: Oh, really? Did you say how much you love me and I’m the reason that you have a smile on your face every morning?

Nick: No, he was saying how grateful he is to you, you know, for helping him see the truth about sally.

Phyllis: Oh, yeah, well, you know, she didn’t deserve him.

Nick: He also said that you might know him better than anyone on this earth.

Billy: Hey, jack. Why am I not surprised to find you here?

Lily: Jack came by to see if we’re running the tara locke story, which I assured him we are.

Billy: Well, of course we are. It’s news. We can’t not pursue it.

Jack: What, you can’t not pursue it?

Lily: We promised that we would not exploit ashland’s illness, and we won’T.

Billy: Absolutely not. This will be about tara and the fact that she embezzled money from her company and how she did it.

Lily: Yeah, we have a reporter reaching out to her lawyer for a comment.

Jack: That is exactly what i am concerned about.

Lily: Jack, I know that you’re worried because she’s the mother of your grandson, but she was led out of your home in handcuffs. I mean, she was married to a man who was worth a fortune and siphoned money from her company. That’s a big story. We can’t ignore that.

Billy: Lauren was lucky enough to find out the truth before she tried to acquire her company.

Jack: Look, I am not condoning anything tara locke did. What she did to summer is reprehensible. As always, I’m concerned about kyle and my grandson, and you both know they will become the story.

Billy: Jack, you can’t honestly ask us not to cover this.

Jack: That’s exactly what I’m doing. So then I said to him,

Devon: Well, look at you, you’re all smiles today. I like that.

Amanda: Well, why wouldn’t i be? I had a great morning with phyllis, and now I get to steal some alone time with you.

Devon: Aww. I bet she was in a good mood after exposing tara and getting justice for summer.

Amanda: Oh, yeah, she was in rare form. But that wasn’t the only topic of conversation.

Devon: Oh, really?

Amanda: Mm-hmm. We talked about the men in our lives and how lucky we are.

Devon: Is that right? Well, I can’t speak for nick, but I’m pretty sure that I’m the lucky one here.

Amanda: Well, I can’t argue with that, but I think the reality is that we both are because we have each other.

Devon: I think you’re right.

Amanda: Yeah?

[ Both laugh ]

Devon: I’m feeling extra fortunate today ’cause I found out my little brother might be following in my footsteps ’cause he’s thinking about some new career paths.

Amanda: What, he doesn’t want to be a doctor anymore?

Devon: No, he doesn’T. He’s thinking of getting into the music industry, which i would love, ’cause then I’d get to mentor him, show him the ropes.

Amanda: Devon, that is so cool.

Devon: I know, right?

Amanda: Yeah.

Devon: I think so. I’ve always secretly kind of hoped that he would gravitate toward the family business, want to be a part of it, you know? That’s where he belongs. You know, the winters part of hamilton-winters group. And neil would love it.

Nate: Whoa, elena, are you okay?

Elena: Yeah, I’m sorry. I just — I overreacted. I know you wouldn’t actually use your new position to change my schedule around.

Nate: Of course not. I was just kidding.

Elena: I know, I know, but some people might not take it that way. That’s why it makes me uncomfortable even joking about things like that. I just don’t want there to be even the slightest appearance of you giving me preferential treatment.

Nate: I understand. I will treat you like any other subordinate, okay? Listen to me, this isn’t gonna be a problem between us because we won’t let it.

Phyllis: What’s jack talking about? I mean, he has sisters. Has he forgotten he has sisters? They know him well.

Nick: You can argue that point with him. I am just the messenger.

Phyllis: Oh, well, I don’t think it’s a contest. I mean, I know you well. I know you very well. And you know me well.

Nick: Yeah. There are some things I know about you that the rest of the world —

Phyllis: La-la-la-la-la-la. I have employees. Just stop right there. Shh.

Nick: Get your mind out of the gutter. I’m talking about to the rest of the world, you seem like summer’s most fierce defender. But I have seen that incredible vulnerability that is just beneath all that toughness.

Phyllis: [ Sighs ] Summer’s my only daughter. She has my heart, you know? Which means she also has the ability to break it.

Nick: Well, lucky for you, you know, you have me around to help you heal.

Ashland: Honestly? As rotten as I feel right now, i don’t regret going forward with the treatments for one minute ’cause if I can get a day or an hour or even one minute more with you, this has all been worth it.

Victoria: I was really hoping that you would feel that way because I want every second with you that I can get.

Ashland: You know, there’s another upside to sitting in that chair today. I was forced to turn off all of my devices, and I missed three calls from kyle abbott.

Victoria: Huh. Well, he must have been very determined to reach you.

Ashland: I think he’s anxious to discuss harrison’s future.

Victoria: He’s probably wondering what’s gonna happen now that tara’s facing prison time.

Ashland: Well, his plans to permanently move to milan has made any visitation or shared custody arrangements difficult.

Victoria: Why didn’t you call him back?

Ashland: I need to take the time to collect my thoughts. I got to consider what’s best for harrison and what I’m going to do.

Lily: Jack, you have to be reasonable. Kyle’s affair with tara is public knowledge. It’s out there for the world to see.

Jack: Oh, yes, thank you again for that, billy.

Billy: Oh, come on. What about the other dozen news outlets that ran the story, the social media platforms? The lockes have been in the news for years. Kyle knew that. He still chose to get involved.

Jack: Look, having an affair is one thing, and you two certainly got your mileage out of that story.

Billy: We followed the facts, jack. We told the story. Nothing salacious.

Jack: Now we’re talking about an innocent boy with an uncertain future. He needs protecting.

Billy: You don’t think those other news outlets are gonna follow this story?

Jack: I don’t think those other news outlets are run by my brother, an abbott, who grew up knowing that family comes first. What do you think dad would say right now?

Billy: You’re gonna bring dad up right now?

Jack: I am trying to remind you who you are and where you come from. Kyle and harrison have been through enough already. You need to do what’s best for them, what’s best for your family.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Gwen: [Laughs]

Xander: I don’t know what the hell you can find to laugh about.

Gwen: Well, hello. I’m reading “the intruder.”

Xander: Any more news about snyder?

Gwen: No, but there is about you. My goodness, xander, I didn’t think it was possible, but you’ve topped my front-page story.

Xander: What are you talking about?

Gwen: Well, it’s not the most flattering photo of you, but I have to say, I quite do like the front headline.

[Soft music]

Theo: You found ciara? Where is she?

Paulina: No, slow down, slow down, theo–I said, I think i might have found her. I don’t have all the information yet.

Theo: What do you mean?

Paulina: Well, this woman called, and she saw my poster about ben and ciara, and she thinks she has a lead.

Theo: Why did she call you instead of the police?

Paulina: She wants the reward money first.

Theo: That sounds pretty shady.

Paulina: It sure does, but this might be your only chance to find her.

[Tense music]

Ciara: Bye, ben.

Ben: Goodbye.

What’s going on?

Ciara: Nothing.

Ben: You’re remembering. You’re remembering right now.

Ciara: No, no.

Ben: Yes, you are, yes, you are–then what’s wrong?

Ciara: Nothing, nothing. Ben, I have to go.

Ben: Wait, wait, don’t go! Don’t go, ciara. Do not go, do not fight it ’cause I know you can feel it. I can tell.

Ciara: Thank you.

Ben: You’re welcome.

Ciara: Oh, my god.

Ben: What does it say?

Ciara: [Gasps] Oh, my god.

Ben: What is it?

Ciara: I remember.

[Soft music]

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

[Soft orchestration]

Lani: You know, dad, I just love how you say, “why won’t you let aunt paulina make amends?” Like I’m the one being unreasonable here.

Abe: Implying that I am?

Lani: Good god, dad. Did you catch ciara’s amnesia? Paulina price came here for a christening and stayed to make a killing, lying every step of the way, banging on about diversity and multiculturalism as a smoke screen so we wouldn’t notice her boundless greed. I don’t know how you can just get over that hypocrisy.

Abe: The fact is that–

Lani: No, and you know what’s worse about it, dad? What is worst of all is that she used your spotless reputation and your decades of service to this town to broker the deal and didn’t even care what happened to you.

Abe: I disagree with that last assessment, but all the rest is true. Paulina lied and planned something that is terrible, but what’s also true, she didn’t go through with what she planned, and she is sorry.

Lani: She is always sorry. She’s sorry when she’s been found out, dad. So now she’ll spend some time beating on her chest, vowing to make a change, but I have known her my entire life, and bottom line, she never changes.

Paulina: The woman says she’s gonna text me her bank account information, and as soon as i transfer the money, she’ll call me and tell me what she knows.

Theo: That sounds like a scam to me.

Paulina: To me, too, but I’m willing to take the chance.

Theo: Why?

Paulina: For you and your father; I care about both of you.

Theo: Well, thank you, but if we’re actually gonna do this, we need to get the police involved.

Paulina: Oh, no, no, no! That would scare her off.

Theo: Okay, how about we call shawn? I mean, he’s ciara’s brother. He wants to find her as much as I do, and he’ll know whether or not we can trust this woman.

Ben: What are you remembering?

Ciara: We were just off the square, sitting on a park bench, and I open up a fortune cookie. And it said, “will you marry me?”

Ben: And then what happened?

Ciara: Oh, my god.

Ben: What does it say?

[Soft music]

Ciara: “Will you marry me?”

Ben: Of course I will marry you. The question is, will you marry me?

Ciara: You asked me to marry you. The airport can be a real challenge for new homeowners

Steve: Thanks for coming over, jack.

Jack: Sure. You sounded kind of grumpy on the phone. Though whatever it is, it’s not good news.

Steve: I’ve been checking out the late dr. Snyder. Tripp and kayla were right about him. He was a total sleazebag.

Jack: I know you thought he’d been stealing pills from the hospital, selling them on the street.

Steve: Kayla gave me access to his office, and now i have proof. He’d been running his little side business for at least six months.

Jack: Great. So why’d you need to meet with me?

Steve: Because it looks like your daughter gwen was involved.

Gwen: Goodness, you really are the definition of class, aren’t you? Nothing like crashing an anniversary party only to announce to a roomful of friends and family that you’d shagged the wife.

Xander: Oh, yeah, should’ve been more discreet, like you.

Gwen: How drunk was she?

Xander: Hm?

Gwen: Nicole, how drunk was she when she slept with you?

Xander: What makes you think she was drunk?

Gwen: Well, come on, no woman’s gonna go trolling around the bottom of the barrel if she’s completely sober.

Xander: Two lonely people reached out to one another for the solace of a human connection.

Gwen: Oh.

Xander: Please don’t cheapen the memory.

Gwen: Wait a minute. That’s why she gave you the job. You were blackmailing her.

Xander: You know how important fashion is to me.

Gwen: Xander, it made the papers. Do you understand that this is now on your permanent record? Not only is it in complete black and white that you are 200 proof an absolute bloody tosser, you can’t be trusted. You’re never gonna get another job again, mate.

Xander: Mm.

Gwen: Mm, really? How could you be so cavalier about your insanely stupid and destructive behavior? Tell me, was your moment of fame worth it?

Xander: You wouldn’t believe how worth it it was.

Shawn: I just find it fishy that this woman, she wants the money first, and she also didn’t contact the cops directly, so…

Paulina: Well, I told you, she doesn’t trust the cops, and I think she might be afraid that I’ll screw her out of that money once I get her info.

Shawn: Or maybe she read that you tried to screw the city out of its own town square.

Theo: Shawn, please, it could be a lead.

Shawn: And it also could be a setup–look, I already wasted enough time on a stakeout at the dimeras’, which I think is probably just a calculated misdirect that was set up by ben.

[Phone beeps]

Paulina: Oh.

Shawn: Look, I’m not in the mood for another fake lead, all right?

Paulina: This is the woman’s bank account information. She says if she doesn’t get that money in the next ten minutes, the deal is off. It’s now or never.

Ben: Do you remember what happened next? Wait, before you answer that, let me do this the way it should be done.

Ciara: You wanted to get down on bended knee, but it wasn’t easy because you were hurt.

Ben: That’s right, because those thugs from the mall thought I was jake and beat me up, but nothing was going to stop me from proposing to you. Ciara alice brady… will you marry me?

Ciara: Yes. I said yes.

Ben: Yes, you said yes. You said yes, and I should’ve known the universe would come through for us.

Ciara: You really didn’t mess with this fortune?

Ben: No, I didn’t mess with it–I didn’t have to. Don’t you see that? Ciara, it doesn’t matter the circumstances. It doesn’t matter what the odds are. Fate is always going to bring us back together.

[Soft music]

To be a thriver

Gwen: Sami paid you $1 million to out nicole?

Xander: Well, minus the money she needed for my bail, which I wouldn’t have needed if it wasn’t for you.

Gwen: Hang on, that’s not my fault that you got arrested. Nobody told you to shove a copper.

Xander: I wouldn’t have shoved him if you hadn’t thrown me under the bus.

Gwen: I panicked.

Xander: I told you there was a risk julie might id snyder as the man passed out on her couch.

Gwen: I know, but we’d already told julie that man was your friend, so I had to tell the police the same thing, didn’t I?

Xander: Now I’ve got eli pressuring me to name my so-called friend.

Gwen: Have the police gotten in touch with you after you were arrested?

Xander: No, I think they’re too busy searching for ciara, but sooner or later they’ll be back, demanding answers. I won’t be able to put them off much longer.

Gwen: I don’t think you’ll have to. I think I just came up with a solution.

Abe: I don’t understand. Before all this went down, you seemed so happy that paulina was here in salem.

Lani: Maybe I was. You know, I hadn’t seen her in a really long time, and it was nice to have family at the christening, but I’d forgot how she operates. I forgot that there’s always a grand entrance, and she’s so funny, and flamboyant, and seemingly generous, but at the end, dad, she’s just always going to let you down.

Abe: How so?

Lani: Like I told you before, growing up, she was in and out of the picture. She would come into our lives like a tornado, and then I would be the most important little girl to her, and there would be presents, and shopping trips, and…but most importantly, there would be these promises that she would make me, promises about the places that we would go and the things that we would see. And then like that, she would just be gone and disappear, and sometimes without even an explanation.

Abe: That must have hurt.

Lani: Hurt? One time, she just about broke my heart.

Shawn: Look, I want to find ciara, too, but you might be throwing $100,000 down the drain.

Theo: But what if this woman is telling the truth? This could be our only chance of finding ciara. She’s alone with ben.

Paulina: You think ben would hurt her? I thought he loved her.

Theo: If she rejects him, he could snap–I mean, do we even know if he took his medication with him?

Paulina: Medication? What are you talking about?

Theo: What I’m talking about is his killing three women. He was known as the necktie killer, and he’s on medication so he doesn’t do it again.

Paulina: And your mother let him marry her baby? I don’t care if I’m getting scammed or not; no, I just want to do everything I can to get her back. I sent her the money. Now all we do, we just sit, and we wait.

Ciara: Fate, I still don’t know if I buy it.

Ben: If you remembered everything that happened between us, you would. Can you remember anything else?

Ciara: Just that you asked me to marry you and that I said yes. But maybe I only remember that because you told me about it in the hospital.

Ben: Well, then let’s keep going. What happened next? Will you marry me?

Ciara: Yes. Yes, ben, of course I will. Now get up off your knees, and come kiss me. I helped you get up.

Ben: And then?

Ciara: Are you okay?

Ben: I’m okay.

Ciara: Okay.

Ben: I hope you like pancakes. Come on, ciara, they’re good. You need to eat.

[Soft music]

Ciara: Ben.

Jaycee tried gain flings for the first time the other day.

[Soft music]

Ciara: I remember everything, ben.

Ben: Thank you, god.

Ciara: I remember you taking care of me here, and my sponge bath, and kicking you because you tickled me too much. And I remember our first kiss, and I remember the first time we made love, and I remember our wedding, but mostly, ben, I just–i remember how much I love you.

Ben: Love you. I can’t even believe this is really happening. I felt like so much time has passed, and I wasn’t even sure if this day would come.

Ciara: And you never stopped fighting for me. You never stopped fighting, even when–oh, my god, ben. Ben, I was horrible to you. I said awful things to you.

Ben: You were scared.

Ciara: I was cruel. I mean, it was our wedding anniversary, and I wanted to deliberately marry theo. Oh, my god, theo.

Theo: She’s not calling.

Shawn: I told you it was a mistake.

Theo: Maybe we can trace her call.

Paulina: She called from an unknown phone number.

Theo: I might be able to get around that.

Shawn: There’s no point. You got conned, and there’s nothing you can do about it.

[Phone rings]

Paulina: It’s her. Yeah, it’s me, I’m here. Tell me what you know.

Lani: When I was a kid, i loved the “madeline” books.

Abe: That little girl in paris.

Lani: Yeah, more than anything, I wanted to go to paris, and I was convinced that as soon as I got there that i would immediately meet 11 english-speaking girlfriends, and we would visit the eiffel tower in two straight lines.

Abe: [Laughs] I wish I’d known you then.

Lani: Yeah, I was a dreamy little thing, and poor mom, I used to beg her all the time to go to paris for our summer vacation, but we couldn’t afford it, and that definitely did not stop me from dreaming about it. That year, aunt paulina came for christmas, and you want to know what aunt paulina is great at? It’s getting people to tell her their dreams. So right before she left that night, she hugged me, and she whispered into my ear, “next summer, we’re gonna go to paris.”

Abe: Oh, dear.

Lani: And then I would get these letters from her, and these letters, they made my dream even better, you know? Not only were we gonna visit the eiffel tower, we were gonna go to fancy restaurants there, and we would have lobster, and she even knew the french word for it–homard–and then we would go to the louvre, and we would ride the les bateaux.

[Laughs] And you know, what was so great about it, dad–was just so great is that it was a secret.

Abe: Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.

Lani: Oh, it was. I never told mom, but I told all the girls at school, and boy, did they get a laugh at me once school started up again. “Oh, lani, how was paris? How was the homard, lani?” Everyone knew–everyone knew that aunt paulina never showed up. Everyone knew that I didn’t go to paris, and everyone knew that I was a fool to believe her.

Jack: Steve, I really did think that gwen was trying to change her life, and once again, I gotta face the fact that when I’m dealing with gwen, you never know what’s real and what’s a performance art. So have you taken this to the police?

Steve: Not yet. I wanted to give you a heads-up first.

Jack: Good. If you can hold off for now until I talk to gwen and try to get the straight story…

Steve: Sure.

Jack: Steve, I just don’t get it. Gwen’s mother was a drug addict. She died of an overdose. Why would she get involved with a drug dealer?

Gwen: So all you have to do is use part of your ill-gotten gains to hire some bloke off the street who looks like snyder and tell him to tell julie that he was the one that she found on the couch.

Xander: Okay, why does it have to be my money?

Gwen: Because I don’t have any. I don’t even have a job.

Xander: Maybe you should get one.

Gwen: I haven’t found one that quite matches my skill set yet, darling.

Xander: Yeah, well, let me see, you’re very skilled at drugging people and seducing ceos–although, to be fair, that wasn’t your natural allure, was it? You had to convince said ceo that his wife was cheating on him and get him dead drunk, so…

Gwen: Yes, I’m just loaded with allure.

Xander: According to you.

Gwen: You’re living proof that I am. You’re the one who couldn’t stop himself from kissing me.

Xander: Oh, come on, you practically threw yourself at me.

Gwen: That’s revisionist history, and besides, I don’t even like you that much.

Xander: I don’t like you either–what difference does that make? And who cares who made the initial approach? Once I kissed you, you got completely carried away.

Gwen: Well, you weren’t exactly passive, were you?

Xander: All right, I’ll concede that. We both got carried away, and I think we should get carried away again. Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Abe: Did paulina ever say why she didn’t show up?

Lani: Yeah, she finally told mom about the trip. She blamed it on some business commitment that she had, and then the next time I saw her, it was like it never even happened.

Abe: Did you ever talk to her about it?

Lani: No, I was too embarrassed, so I let it go, and I moved on. You know, it’s actually been a really long time since I even thought about that incident, and now that I’m talking about it, all those feelings are coming back up, and, dad, I just–i really do not want you and theo to get hurt the way that I did all those years ago, and that’s why I think that it’s best if we have absolutely nothing to do with my aunt paulina.

Paulina: Uh-huh, uh-huh. Got it, mm-hmm, yeah. You’re an absolute angel. Oh, one more thing, if this turns out to be a wild goose chase, I will hunt you down like a dog, and you will wish that you were never born. Uh-huh, yeah, you have a blessed day. She says that she saw a limo headed north on route 17 toward mammoth falls.

Shawn: Oh, my god, I know where he took her. It’s that damn cabin.

Ciara: Ben, I can’t marry theo now. That’ll kill him. Ben, it’s gonna kill him.

Ben: He knew he was taking a risk; he knew that you could get your memory back.

Ciara: Yes, but I told him over, and over, and over again that I wouldn’T. He’s in love with me, ben.

Ben: I know that.

Ciara: And I love him, too, but as a friend.

Ben: Ciara, he was going to marry you knowing that you still loved me. He knew he was taking a risk that you could get your memory back.

Ciara: Yes, but, ben, i assured him over and over again that that wouldn’t happen. I have to find him. I have to tell him in person.

Ben: Ciara, you can’t leave right now; I just got you back. I’m not trying to lose you all over again.

Ciara: Ben, that is never, ever gonna happen again.

Ben: The nearest phone is, like, miles away.

Ciara: Which is why I have to leave right now while there’s still daylight.

Ben: Do you have to?

Ciara: It’s not just for theo’s sake. It’s for yours, too. I need somebody to look at that ankle.

Ben: My ankle stopped hurting as soon as you started to remember. Please just let me hold you a little bit longer.

[Soft music]

[Doorknob clicks]

Jack: What’s going on here?

Xander: Nothing.

Jack: That’s bull. I just talked to steve. Kayla asked him to look into what dr. Snyder had been up to. She thought he had been stealing drugs from the hospital and selling them on the street.

Gwen: Wow, I can’t imagine him doing a thing like that.

Jack: Really? Because steve said you were running his delivery service.

[Tense music]

I may have moderate to

severe rheumatoid arthritis.

Abe: I am not trying to minimize how much she hurt you.

Lani: But?

Abe: But if you never talked to her about it, maybe she thinks you didn’t want to talk to her about it, and if you didn’t talk to her about it, maybe there are things you don’t know.

Lani: You have really fallen hard for her, haven’t you, dad?

Abe: The paulina I know screwed up big time, but she admitted it.

Lani: Yeah, when she was found out, dad.

Abe: She tried to make amends. The town square is still standing, chanel is going to open her bakery, and paulina put up a great deal of money to help theo find ciara.

Lani: It is always about money with her. Can’t you see that?

Abe: Is that so hard to understand after what that man did to her?

Lani: What? What man?

Abe: Oh, I assumed you knew.

Lani: Knew what?

Ciara: This is so nice, ben. We haven’t been like this in over a year.

Ben: It was only a couple months after the wedding. Everybody thought you had died in that car explosion.

Ciara: Except for I was trapped in that glass cage the entire time. I really thought I was never gonna make it out, but you found me.

Ben: In a way, you found me, sending me those dreams, letting me know that you were still alive.

Ciara: You know what? I actually remember that. Yeah, there was this one really vivid dream, and in it, you and I were–

Ben: Romeo and juliet.

Ciara: Yeah.

Ben: That’s the one that made sure that I knew that you were definitely alive.

Ciara: Only they didn’t get a happy ending.

Ben: But we will. The universe is gonna see to that.

Ciara: You know, I can kind of understand why people think that the whole psychic connection thing is crazy. I mean, when you were telling me about it, and I didn’t remember, I thought you were absolutely bonkers.

Ben: That’s understandable.

Ciara: Yeah? But now the both of us know that it’s true.

Ben: Yes, we do. Yes, we do.

Gwen: That’s ridiculous. I would never be involved with drugs, especially after what i went through with my mother.

Jack: That’s what I would have thought, but then snyder’s dealer id’d you as the delivery person.

Gwen: There must be some sort of a mistake.

Jack: Yes, the same way julie was mistaken when she id’d xander’s drunken friend on the couch as dr. Snyder.

Xander: Yeah, but you know, looking back, my friend does kind of look like snyder.

Gwen: You said that the person who id’d me was a drug dealer, so he can’t be trusted.

Jack: Stop lying to me! I brought you into my home. I defended you. I told everyone you had changed. I trusted you, and you were just playing me.

Gwen: That’s not true.

Jack: And another thing, you really shouldn’t use words like true and trust. You don’t know what they mean. But I gotta hand it to you. You found a great cover. You wrapped yourself up in our middle-class respectability, and then you and your doctor teamed up to sell drugs.

Gwen: It wasn’t like that.

Jack: Then you admit it? You were working with snyder.

Gwen: Yeah, yes, I was.

[Tense music]

From prom dresses

Gwen: Please let me explain.

Jack: Did you keep drugs in this house?

Gwen: Yes, but–

Jack: Putting julie, doug, me, your family at considerable risk, but of course, you don’t really think about that because you don’t think about other people.

Gwen: No, you don’t understand.

Jack: No, I think I do understand–finally, I do. Your partner in crime dropped dead, and you knew that at any moment, julie, myself, or anyone could come walking through that door, so you got xander to help you. You’re good at getting men to do what you want them to do, aren’t you? So now the two of you took snyder’s body and you dumped it in the lake, didn’t you?

Gwen: Do you know, she was so guilty that she left town, but it’s strange because it gave me a chance to get close to my father. If he finds out the truth, i will lose him forever.

Jack: Please, after everything you’ve done to me, to my family, at least now you owe me the truth.

Gwen: Yeah, the truth is–

Xander: The truth is you’ve got this all backwards, mate. I wasn’t helping gwen out of a jam. She was helping me.

[Tense music]

Paulina: Someday, maybe someday you’ll forgive me.

[Knocking] Lani? What the hell are you doing here?

Lani: God, that is awful. I never knew anything about that.

Abe: Well, now you understand why money is so important to her.

Lani: Yeah, but, dad, this reward is only gonna make things worse.

[Phone beeps]

Abe: Excuse me. Theo and shawn are on their way to the cabin where ben took care of ciara. They think he might have taken her there.

Lani: How’d they figure that out?

Abe: Someone called paulina. Thanks to that reward she offered, they can make sure that ciara’s okay.

Ben: I cannot even believe this is actually happening. There were moments when i almost gave up.

Ciara: And I really didn’t make it easier on you, huh? Baby, I got our marriage annulled–how could I do that?

Ben: It just gives us an excuse to have another wedding.

Ciara: Yeah, minus the bomb.

Ben: Yeah, minus the bomb, and this time, a honeymoon.

Ciara: Oh, that sounds wonderful.

Ben: It does, doesn’t it?

Ciara: I love you so much, ben.

Ben: Love you.

Shawn: Hands in the air.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Tripp: Hold on, hold on, I’m coming, I’m coming. Hey!

Chanel: Here we go. Another guy in a towel.

Tripp: E-excuse me?

Chanel: Just try not to let it fall off, okay? I’m here to talk to horton.

Tripp: Allie isn’t here.

Chanel: She didn’t spend the night with you?

Tripp: No.

Chanel: Then where the hell is she?

Claire: WA. Why is it so much easier to stay up all night clubbing than in a police station?

Allie: Try having a baby. Then we can talk about sleep deprivation.

Claire: It was nice of uncle roman to look after henry so you could be ciara’s maid of honor.

Allie: Mm. I bet ciara’s regretting that choice right now.

Claire: Why? Because you helped ben kidnap her?

Allie: Shh. Do not say that in here.

Claire: They’re not allowed to listen to us in here. I don’t think.

Allie: Listen, when I agreed to help ben, I did not think it was gonna end up like this. I mean, how long can they keep us in here anyway?

Claire: Hey, it’s gonna be fine. I am sure that my mom’s gonna get us out of here soon.

[Sighs] Ohh…

Belle: You need to let those girls go now.

Eli: Hello, belle.

Belle: Ben kidnapped ciara. So why don’t you go and track him down?

Eli: Have you not spoken to your husband?

Belle: No. He’s been out searching all night.

Eli: That’s because he’s pursuing a lead.

Belle: Oh. What kind of lead?

Eli: Apparently ciara’s motorcycle was found outside the dimera gatehouse. They’re staking the area just to make sure ben doesn’t come back with ciara.

Belle: Well, that’s great. Then you don’t need allie and claire.

Eli: I am more than happy to let allie and claire go. As soon as they tell me where ben took ciara. This isn’t over until theo gets his bride back.

Theo: I told you, I don’t want breakfast. I just wanna find my fiancéE.

Abe: We will find her, but you won’t help if you pass out.

Theo: I’m fine.

Ben: This is where I took you after your motorcycle accident.

[Small laugh] Look familiar? I think that’s called the universe trying to tell you that you’re not supposed to leave here until you remember our love.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Ben: Good morning.

Ciara: What’s good about it?

Ben: Seeing you first thing already made my day. How’d you sleep?

[Birds twittering]

Ciara: Could’ve been worse. Well, at least you didn’t make me sleep in this chair.

Ben: Naw. Giving you the bed is the least I could do.

Ciara: You even gave me pjs. What a gentlemanly kidnapper you are. I cannot believe that I actually tore my own wedding dress to make a splint for your ankle.

Ben: Mm. Well, I mean, you did do that to me. Not that I’m complaining.

Ciara: [Huffs] You know what? Whatever. I’ll just get another dress when I go back to salem, because I am marrying theo.

Ben: Okay.

Ciara: Oh, my god–theo. He and my family must be so worried about me. I mean, besides claire and allie, your little partners in crime.

Ben: They care about you, ciara. They were just trying to help you remember how much we love each other.

Ciara: I love theo. Theo is the man that I love. He’s the one that I’m gonna spend the rest of my life with.

Ben: All right, you keep telling yourself that, and I’ll refuse to accept it.

Ciara: Well, that seems like it’s your problem and not mine, because this time I’m actually leaving.

Ben: Did you forget that the limo won’t start? I highly doubt that it fixed itself overnight.

Ciara: Then I’ll walk.

Ben: Ciara, don’t–don’t go.

Chanel: Nicole said allie never came home–we both assumed she spent the night with you.

Tripp: I mean, did you try texting her?

Chanel: Of course, like 20 times; when I called, her phone went straight to voicemail.

Tripp: What about henry?

Chanel: Nicole said he’s with allie’s grandfather, but it’s not like her to stay out all night. Where would she even go?

Tripp: Maybe when she dropped henry off, she decided to stay there–I’ll call roman.

Eli: I have every right to hold allie and claire for questioning, and I’m sure da trask will back me up on that.

Belle: C’mon.

Eli: What they did was wrong.

Belle: They were just trying to help a friend.

Eli: This isn’t some cute rom-com, belle. Ciara was abducted on her wedding day.

Belle: All right. Listen, I understand that you’re coming at this from a different place because it’s theo.

Eli: They should be married. He loves her, and from what i hear, he’s really upset about this.

Belle: So you do admit that this is personal for you.

Eli: I’m just doing my job. You know what? Yeah, you’re right, this is personal. Theo’s my family.

Belle: Fine. I get that. But let me remind you that allie and claire are your family too.

Allie: Ciara must have lost it when she realized ben was the limo driver.

Claire: Yeah. Look, hopefully, being at the cabin is gonna jog her memory.

Allie: That’s where they first connected, right, where they started falling in love.

Claire: Yeah, it’s also where I tried to set her on fire twice.

Allie: Well, if she remembers everything she’ll remember that she forgave you for that too.

Claire: Yeah. Let’s just pray that ben’s plan works.

Allie: And that theo forgives us for ruining his wedding.

Theo: Couple? They’re not a couple. Ben and ciara are divorced. Why would they write that?

Abe: My guess is that victor offered the reward, and that’s the only photo he had that included ben.

Theo: Why would he not tell us that he’s doing this?

Abe: Because he’s victor.

Paulina: Or maybe it’s because I’m the one who offered the reward.

Abe: You did this? Why?

Paulina: I heard about theo’s fiancée getting kidnapped and I wanted to help get her back.

Theo: You did this for me?

Paulina: I did it for both of you.

Ice t, stone cold calling on

everyone

to turn to cold washing with

tide.

Paulina: I’m so sorry, theo. I can’t even imagine what you’re going through right now.

Theo: Thank you.

Paulina: When I heard the news about the wedding, I-I grabbed the phone to call you, abe, but then I realized you didn’t wanna hear from me. But I just couldn’t do nothing.

Abe: You made the posters.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. And I’m sorry about the photo, theo. I just did a quick search online, and that was the first one I found.

Theo: I understand. It’s okay.

Paulina: But it must be painful seeing them together like that.

Theo: The only thing that matters right now is finding ciara.

Abe: $100,000. That’s a lotta money.

Paulina: Which I will pay gladly if we bring theo’s fiancée back home.

Theo: I don’t even know what to say. Thank you, paulina.

Abe: Yes, thank you.

Tripp: Okay, okay, nicole, let me know if I can help with henry at all. Yeah, yeah, you too. Oh, man.

Chanel: What? What’s going on?

Tripp: According to her grandfather, allie spent the night at the police station.

Chanel: The police station? Why?

Tripp: She and claire were arrested.

Chanel: For what?

Tripp: Apparently, they helped ben weston kidnap ciara.

Chanel: Ciara? Isn’t she the one that’s engaged to theo?

Tripp: That’s right, that’s right. It happened right before the wedding. Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?

Chanel: Allie’s in trouble and I’ve gotta go help her.

Tripp: What are you gonna do at the police station?

Chanel: I don’t know! But I’m sure she’s upset and scared, and she’s my friend.

Tripp: Yeah, well, she’s my girlfriend. So if anybody’s gonna go down there to help her, it should be me.

Belle: Listen, I get that you’re under pressure because theo is lani’s brother, but those are your cousins in there, eli. And whatever they did, they were just trying to help ciara remember how much she loves ben.

Eli: You’re acting like this is no big deal. Ciara is missing, okay? She’s been abducted by a man that she doesn’t even remember loving. A man who she thinks is a serial killer.

Belle: Oh, c’mon, he’s not that guy anymore.

Eli: I’m not saying that he is. But if I were ciara, I’d be pretty damn scared. Hell, I might even do something desperate to escape. So what you need to do is go in there and get allie and claire to tell me everything they know about where ben took ciara.

Claire: And this stupid wedding dress–it’s so itchy.

Allie: Where did you even get it so last-minute?

Claire: A sale rack at basic black. Allie, when are we going to get out of here?

Allie: I don’t know. We just have to keep our mouths shut until ben can get through to ciara.

Claire: And I do believe that he will. He just has to make her remember how much they love each other. And knowing ben, he is not gonna give up.

Ben: It is at least 20 miles back to salem. You are not walking that.

Ciara: I’m not. Okay. Well, um, I don’t have to walk the entire way. I can find a store or a gas station, or I can catch a ride with somebody. I’ll hitchhike.

Ben: You’re gonna hitchhike? No, I don’t think so. That’s not safe.

Ciara: It’s not safe? Well, who are you worried I’m gonna run into? A serial killer? I’m already looking at one.

Ben: Fine. But you should at least eat something first.

Ciara: Well, I can see that there’s no food here.

Ben: There’s a full cooler in the back of the limo that I told you about last night, but you insisted on going to bed hungry.

Ciara: Yeah, because that cooler is evidence that you plotted my abduction, which would make it easy for the da to nail you.

Ben: [Scoffs] Maybe so. Regardless, I will get that cooler before you leave.

Ciara: Stop it. Ben, ben, sit. Stop.

Ben: I’m fine. I’m good.

Ciara: Yeah, you can stay right there. I will go get the cooler.

Chanel: So you wanna get all possessive now?

Tripp: I’m not being possessive.

Chanel: Sure feels like it. I said I wanted to help horton, and you got all weird.

Tripp: I just want you to understand that allie and i are together.

Chanel: Yeah, I get it. You’ve made it very clear.

Tripp: You sure?

Chanel: I said it the other morning after you slept over, didn’t I?

Tripp: You did, yeah. But saying is one thing. Accepting it is something else.

Chanel: What else do you want me to say?

Tripp: I just want you to be honest with me.

Chanel: Okay. Honestly…I don’t deny that there was something going on between horton and me, and that I was hoping maybe it would go somewhere. But she made her choice. And it’s not me.

Tripp: And you’re okay with that?

Chanel: I just want her to be happy. So no need to trip, tripp. You won’t get any trouble from me.

Tripp: Okay. Okay, I’m glad to hear that. Why don’t we head down to the station together?

Chanel: Good plan. But maybe you should put on some clothes first.

Tripp: Yeah, yeah.

Abe: That reward is beyond generous.

Paulina: Like I said, anything to bring ciara back home safe and sound.

Theo: Hopefully, someone’s seen her and calls the tip line.

Paulina: Mm-hmm. From your lips.

Lani: I thought I told you to leave my family alone. My dad and theo are trying to deal with the kidnapping of his fiancéE.

Paulina: I know that. I was just sharing my concern.

Lani: Well, they don’t need your concern. They have enough to worry about, paulina, especially after some fool took it upon themselves to post a reward.

Theo: Lani.

Lani: No, theo. I know that you’re worried about ciara, but that is not helping. I’ve been pulling them down all over town.

Theo: Hold on. What’s wrong with a reward?

Lani: It is very unhelpful for a civilian to do this without consulting the police first, dad. If they wanted a reward, they would have requested one.

Theo: Lani, you should know–

Lani: No, you know, I really wish I knew who did this so i can tell them how wrongheaded it was.

Paulina: That would be your aunt paulina.

Ciara: Leftover chinese food for breakfast?

Ben: It was supposed to be our dinner last night.

Ciara: So that was your big plan? You were gonna kidnap me, bring me here and then serve me takeout. That’s nice.

Ben: It’s what we had on our first date.

Ciara: Mm. I remember. You told me about that. And then I told you that I don’t remember it and I don’t really care about it. Besides, seems like a pretty weak date anyway.

Ben: Well, it wasn’t the original plan.

Ciara: Oh, I know. I remember that too. You told me in very, very boring detail about how, uh, you tried to get a reservation at what used to be doug’s place, but my grandma julie wasn’t really in your corner at the time and blah, blah, blah. You know what? I really didn’t care about it then, and I certainly don’t care about it now, but you know what I do care about? Marrying theo. I love him very much, and I don’t want anything to come between us.

Ben: Not even the love of your life?

Ciara: Ugh! You know what? Fine, I will stay for one plate. And then I’m leaving. If you think all pads are exactly the same,…

Claire: Mom.

Belle: Hey.

Claire: Ohh… thank god you are here. I told you she’d come to our rescue.

Allie: Thank you, aunt belle.

Belle: Are you two okay?

Allie: Yeah, just a little tired. And I really have to go to my grandpa’s to get henry.

Belle: Okay. Well, I would love to take you both home with me when I leave here today.

Claire: Great. Let’s go.

Allie: Yeah.

Claire: Is there a problem?

Belle: Eli has assured me that he will release you. But first you have to tell him everything you know.

Allie: Everything we know about ben taking ciara?

Belle: Yes, you have to tell him where ben has taken her.

Claire: I’m sorry, but we can’t do that.

Ciara: Cold chinese food. Gross.

Ben: [Laughs] We used to have that argument all the time about leftovers. I thought the cold enhanced the flavor, and you called that barbaric.

Ciara: [Chuckles] Well, i actually agree with my old self on this one.

Ben: Hmm. I think you should try the general tso’s chicken. It was always our favorite. General tso’s chicken.

Ciara: Just like our first date.

Ben: I…it wasn’t exactly my plan, but… couldn’t get a table anywhere else in the damn town. Definitely not from your grandmother julie.

Ciara: Ha. No.

Ben: Or from your uncle roman.

Ciara: You know what, ben? We ended up having an amazing time.

Ben: And we had an amazing kiss.

Ciara: Yeah. You know, as my fortune cookie predicted.

Ben: Yeah, actually you made that up, though. And besides, you also said that fortune cookies were dumb.

Ciara: What? Me? Uh-uh. No, no, no. I love fortune cookies.

[Murmurs]

Ben: What we got?

Ciara: “Life is short. Eat dessert first.” I like this one.

[Laughs] You think I’ll take a few bites of the chicken and all of a sudden my memories are gonna start flooding back.

Ben: You never know. Could be like proust’s madeleine, you know, a taste that conjures up an emotional memory.

Ciara: Okay. Now you’re bringing proust into this.

Ben: I told you on our first date–I did a lot of reading alone as a kid.

Ciara: And I was impressed by that?

Ben: Mm. In all fairness, you were much more impressed with my mechanic skills.

Ciara: Mm, well, clearly your mechanic skills didn’t really amount to much, because you can’t even fix a limo.

Ben: Well, since you just gave me this beautiful broken ankle, it was a little bit of a hindrance.

Ciara: Look, I can see that you’re being all charming now with the chinese food and the proust, but it’s not gonna work. You can tell me that this cabin is our special place and you can feed me general who’s-he-what’s-it chicken…

Ben: Tso.

Ciara: You can feed me his chicken till I’m blue in the face, but it’s not gonna make me magically fall in love with you again, ben.

Ben: Okay.

Ciara: Okay what?

Ben: I am done forcing the issue. I committed a felony. I’m pretty sure I have a fractured bone. Think I’ve done all I can do here. So you finish your gourmet breakfast so you have enough energy to make it back to salem. I’m not gonna stand in your way.

Lani: You offered the reward?

[Laughs] I should’ve guessed.

Paulina: I wanted to help.

Lani: So, why just $100,000? I mean, lady gaga offered half a mil for her little frenchies. What? Paulina, you feeling cheap these days? Or maybe you’re just strapped from the fall of price town.

Paulina: I told you I was sorry about price town.

Lani: No, you mean you’re sorry that it didn’t happen.

Paulina: It was–it was a terrible idea. I just wanna make it up to everyone.

Lani: You’re just trying to buy forgiveness, especially my dad’S.

Paulina: That’s not true. If that reward can deliver some legitimate tips–

Lani: Stop, paulina. You already tried to buy your way into our family when you offered to pay for the twins’ college tuition.

Paulina: I did that because I love you.

Lani: You don’t know what love is…because you think it can be bought.

Paulina: Lani, please just–well, let me explain.

Lani: No. You don’t need to explain…because we know who you are and what you really care about. So take your money and go buy yourself some more designer clothes or whatever it is that you want because we don’t need your help. Before treating your chronic migraine,

Theo: Lani, it’s okay.

Lani: What is okay about this, theo?

Theo: I believe paulina was trying to help find ciara. She’s concerned about her.

Lani: No, she’s concerned about rehabbing her image in this town and trying to make us all forget that you just wanted to tear it down.

Paulina: Lani, just tell me what I can do.

Lani: Nothing. Because we see you for who you really are.

Paulina: I admit I made a terrible mistake, one that I wish that I could take back. But you gotta be so cold-hearted?

Lani: I’m trying to protect my dad and my brother from being taken advantage by you again.

Paulina: We’re family, lani.

Lani: No. I’ve already told you, my dad, theo, eli and the twins, they’re my family. You are nothing to us, paulina.

Abe: Lani.

Lani: No, dad. Don’t try to make this better. Go, paulina.

Paulina: All right. I’m sorry I had intruded on a family crisis. My prayers will be that ciara is found.

Abe: That was uncalled for, lani.

Belle: Are you saying that you can’t tell eli where ben took ciara because you don’t know? Can I have a couple of minutes alone with my clients, please?

Eli: Okay. I’ll be right outside if you need me.

Belle: What were you two thinking?

Claire: Mom, we know what we’re doing.

Belle: No, I don’t think you do. You showed up at the church in a wedding dress pretending to be ciara. And allie, ciara’s phone rang inside your bag when theo called it. Now everyone in that church knows that you two were in on ben’s plot.

Claire: Okay, were not plotting–we were matchmaking, sort of.

Allie: Yeah.

Belle: Well, somehow I don’t think da trask is gonna see it that way.

Allie: How serious is this?

Belle: Well, if you’re charged with aiding and abetting a kidnapping, it’s gonna go on your permanent record. And eli has assured me he’ll take you straight to a holding cell.

Allie: He’s gonna lock us up?

Belle: Allie, if you two are convicted, you could go to prison. This isn’t a joke. Are you really willing to risk all of this for ben weston?

Ciara: Um, I’m gonna leave the food within reach so that you don’t have to kill yourself to get it.

Ben: Very thoughtful of you.

Ciara: And don’t worry, I will send for help as soon as I get back to civilization.

Ben: You don’t have to do that.

Ciara: No, I do. But I’m pretty sure once you get your ankle tended to, the police are gonna arrest you for kidnapping.

Ben: Probably.

Ciara: Well, I wish I could say it’s been a pleasure. But instead I will just say this: Don’t you ever, ever pull anything like that ever again.

Ben: You don’t have to worry about that.

Ciara: Good.

Ben: Wait.

Ciara: What’s up?

Ben: You cannot leave here without having your fortune cookie.

Ciara: No. No, thanks, I’m good. I’m full. And the cookies taste like the paper that’s inside of them. I don’t really like them.

Ben: This has nothing to do with the taste. It’s about the fortune.

Ciara: Are you serious? Are we really gonna do that?

Ben: I mean, aren’t you even a little bit curious about what it says?

Ciara: No. Not even a little. And why do you care whether I read my fortune or not?

Ben: Maybe because it reminds me of our first date… how it ended. Good things come to those who wait.

Ciara: That’s kind of cliché, isn’t it?

Ben: Yeah. I’m hoping it’s true.

Ciara: So I’m a good thing?

Ben: You are a great thing. Why don’t you open up yours?

Ciara: Okay.

[Huffs] These things are so stupid anyways.

Ben: What? What’s it say?

Ciara: It says… it says that my date will end with a kiss. But we already knew that. So you based this all on a fortune cookie.

Ben: Our fortunes came true that day. Because I found the person I waited my whole life for. Someone smart, strong, caring. Someone good and decent, who inspires me to be good and decent, too. Someone who makes my life better by just being there. Someone who shines her light in the darkest places of my life. That’s why I’m doing this. That’s why I’m so determined to get you to remember what we once had, because we are meant to be together. As someone who resembles someone else…

Tripp: Allie.

Allie: Tripp, chanel.

Tripp: Are you okay?

Chanel: We were really worried.

Allie: How did you guys know we were here?

Chanel: I went by your place to get you to sign some paperwork for the bakery, and nicole told me you never came home.

Tripp: Yeah, she assumed that you were with me. And your grandfather told me what happened.

Allie: Is henry okay?

Tripp: Yeah, he’s fine.

Allie: Thank god. I’m really sorry I couldn’t call you.

Chanel: You’re helping them, right?

Belle: Yes, I’m trying.

Tripp: Okay. Can you go home now?

Eli: Allie and claire have chosen not to cooperate. So, no, they’ll be staying here with us.

Belle: It’s not too late to change your mind.

Allie: We’ll be okay.

Eli: If by okay means you don’t mind being locked up, then sure, let’s go, ladies.

Chanel: Wait, you’re taking them to jail?

Eli: They’ve given me no choice.

Tripp: This is crazy–we’ll get you out of this, I promise.

Allie: Just check in on henry for me, okay?

Tripp: Yeah.

Eli: Let’s go.

Tripp: Belle, how are you letting this happen?

Chanel: You have to fix this.

Lani: Too hard on paulina? Dad, do I have to remind you that she has been playing us the entire time since she got to salem?

Abe: No, you don’T. But she was doing the right thing this time, and she was just trying to help.

Lani: Fine. You wanna give her the benefit of the doubt, go ahead. But I’m done with all that.

Theo: Okay, you two, can we please just focus on ciara? On bringing her home safe?

Abe: Yeah. I’m sorry, theo. You’re right. So why don’t we have breakfast, and then we can focus on trying to find her.

Theo: I told you, I don’t have time to waste with breakfast–every minute that I’m apart from ciara, ben is taking her further away from me.

Abe: That’s just not true.

Theo: It is, dad. I need to find ciara before I lose her forever.

Ciara: You’ve made it very clear that whatever we shared still means a lot to you, but I don’t feel it. And one stupid fortune cookie isn’t gonna change that.

Ben: I know the fortune cookie thing seems silly, but… ciara, what this is really about is fate.

Ciara: Fate.

Ben: When I thought you died in that explosion at the airfield, I would sometimes order chinese food just to feel closer to you again. One time our wedding photo fell over on top of a fortune cookie. I picked it up and I opened it. And it said, “nothing is ever lost if you follow your heart.” So that’s what I did. I followed my heart and I never stopped. I chased down every sign, no matter how silly they seemed, no matter how many people told me I was crazy or said that it was maybe just wishful thinking or I was in denial, I knew I wasn’T. Because I knew that you and i are connected. I could feel you out there, and I knew you were still alive. Just like I know right now somewhere inside of you you still love me. I’m trying. I’m trying so hard to reach you.

Ciara: After all that… you think that whatever’s in that fortune cookie is gonna make that happen?

Ben: I know it sounds crazy, but that is what I believe.

Ciara: Okay, um… if I open the cookie, do you promise that this is all gonna be over?

Ben: It’s gonna be the last thing I ask you.

Ciara: Okay. If this gets you to shut up once and for all, I will open the cookie.

[Soft music]

Ben: What’s it say? Shingles?

Belle: Allie and claire know where ben took ciara and they’re not saying.

Tripp: Okay. So that’s what this is about, forcing them to tell what they know.

Belle: Yes, and if they don’t the da may press charges. And so I-I actually need to go talk to her.

Chanel: Allie can’t go to prison. She doesn’t deserve this.

Tripp: She must be so worried about henry right now.

Chanel: You’re her boyfriend. I’m her partner. We have to find some way to help her.

Lani: How does–thank you, dad. How does, um, theo seem to you?

Abe: Scared. But he’s holding it together, which is more than I can say for some people.

Lani: Are you talking about me?

Abe: [Laughs] You know, we’re all upset about price town. And nobody felt more betrayed than I did. But paulina… well, she owned her mistake, she let the project go at a substantial financial loss.

Lani: So I’m just supposed to forget about what she did, dad?

Abe: No, I didn’t say that. I know you love her, and she loves you. And I think she’s sincere in wanting to make amends. So why can’t you let her?

Paulina: Yes. Yes, I understand.

[Doorbell rings] I have to go. Hoo. Theo.

Theo: I’m so sorry that my sister was so hostile towards you.

Paulina: She feels betrayed.

Theo: I just wanna let you know that I really do appreciate you helping to find ciara.

Paulina: Honey, I think maybe I already did.

Ben: What’s it say?

Ciara: It just says “yes.” How is that a fortune?

Ben: That’s all that’s on there? Just one word?

Ciara: So much for fate, huh? I have to go. I don’t know how long it’s gonna take for someone to come get you, but I’m sure you’ll be fine.

Ben: Sure.

Ciara: Goodbye, ben.

Ben: Bye.

[Dramatic musical sting]

What’s going on?

Ciara: Nothing.

Ben: You’re remembering. You’re remembering right now.

Ciara: No. No.

Ben: Yes, you are. Yes, you are. Then what’s wrong?

Ciara: Nothing. Nothing. Ben, I have to go.

Ben: Wait, wait. Don’t go! Don’t go! Ciara, do not go. Do not fight… ’cause I know you can feel it, I could tell. Oh, my god.

Ben: What does it say?

Ciara: [Gasps] Oh, my god.

[ Moaning ]

Quinn: Okay. This time I mean it.

Carter: Well, you always mean it.

Quinn: This time, we have to stop.

Carter: And how do we do that?

Quinn: Ugh, I don’t know.

Ridge: We have to do something.

Eric: We can’t let sheila get close to steffy’s family.

Ridge: How much closer can she possibly get? She was at your house, at the reception, acting like, like she had a right to be there.

Brooke: Finn had no idea who she was. He thought we would be thrilled to meet her.

Ridge: Sheila’s son is married to my daughter. How is that possible?

Steffy: Another cup of coffee, my husband?

Finn: I want something hotter.

Steffy: Oh?

Finn: My wife. I could kiss you forever.

Steffy: Good. Because that’s how long we’re gonna be together. I can’t believe I’m your wife. Our wedding was so beautiful and perfect. Just like you. Our reception, different story. I know neither of us want to talk about her right now, but… we have to. We gotta talk about sheila.

Quinn: I have nothing to lose. I mean, my divorce papers are gonna be finalized any day now, and I’ll be a free woman. But you…

Carter: I’m where I want to be.

Quinn: I don’t want to leave, but eric made it very clear that you need to stay away from me. No contact. Hm.

Carter: And yet, here we are.

Brooke: I really can’t believe we’re in this position again. I mean, sheila was gone, she was out of our lives for good.

Eric: So we hoped.

Ridge: No, we didn’t hope. She was gone. You made sure of it. She wasn’t coming back.

Brooke: But she had to see her son.

Ridge: Oh god, her son. Really? It’s gonna be tearing steffy up, and finn too. Sheila is hayes’ grandmother. I’m gonna make sure she has no place in his future.

Finn: I hate that we have to deal with this.

Steffy: I know, but the thought of sheila just, it makes me sick. And, I know, it’s not your fault, you didn’t know.

Finn: She said she was mother, I got exciteD.

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: But then, seeng your family’s reaction and then learning the history…

Steffy: It’s a lot, yeah. I’m sorry, I’m sorry this ever happened. I don’t really know.

Paris: Oh, the newlyweds have moved the honeymoon into the living room. I’m sorry, I’m interrupting.

Steffy: No, no, it’s alright.

Finn: It’s okay, paris.

Paris: I was just gonna offer to keep an eye on hayes.

Finn: Oh, that’s sweet.

Steffy: Uh, yeah,& but I think we’re gonna keep hayes close to us for a while.

Paris: Well, um, is everything okay?

Steffy: Well, since you’re staying with us, I think you should know what’s going on.

Paris: What’s wrong?

Sheila: So handsome, so accomplished. My son, and now you’re married to a forrester. If only I could be a part of your life, part of my grandson’S.

Anything your wild child does pampers cruisers 360 fit can

too.

Brooke: Sheila has already caused this family so much pain.

Eric: These should be the happiest days of finn and steffy’s life.

Brooke: Instead, they’re gonna be worried about their safety and the safety of–

Ridge: No, they’re not going to be worried, no they are not.

Brooke: If sheila really is finn’s birth mother, it’s gonna be more complicated than that.

Ridge: We can’t do anything about who she is to finn, but I will protect my daughter and my grandson.

[ Phone ringing ]

Carter: That’s ridge’s ringtone.

Quinn: Answer it.

Carter: Hey, ridge.

Ridge: Carter, hi, I could use your help with something.

Carter: Yeah, no problem, and I wanted to touch base with you, man. How was the wedding?

Ridge: Ceremony was great. Reception, not so much.

Carter: What happened?

Ridge: We had an uninvited guest. That’s why I’m calling you, I need a restraining order.

Carter: Restraining order?

Ridge: I want that maniac nowhere near our zip code.

[ Mouthing ]

Carter: Okay, who is it for?

Ridge: Sheila carter.

Finn: I’d never met my birth mother before. I didn’t know anything about her. The last thing I expected was her showing up on our wedding day.

Steffy: Yeah, under normal circumstances, it would have been another reason to celebrate. Finn, having this connection with his mom, the same day that we were starting our new life together, like it, it almost felt like it could have been kismet.

Paris: Hm, but I’m not getting that vibe.

Steffy: So, I don’t know how much you know about my family, but a lot of bad things have happened, and a lot of it is due to finn’s birth mother. I wish I could be happy for my husband. I want to be happy for you. I wish you could get to know the woman who gave birth to you, that she could have a place here, but I can’T. This woman, your birth mother, has caused so much damage in my life that I, I can’t even fully describe.

Eric: Sheila forrester.

Sheila: Say that again.

Eric: Sheila…forrester.

Sheila: I’m your wife, you know, I can’t get over it.

Eric: I hope you never do.

Sheila: Hayes forrester finnegan. Not touching is still touching protection.

Carter: Wait, sheila just showed up to steffy’s wedding? What did she want?

Ridge: Same thing she always wants, to creep away into our beautiful family. Gotta make sure that that doesn’t happen.

Carter: Of course, but I need more information.

Ridge: I can’t get into all that right now, just know that finn is adopted, and well, he’s never met his biological parents, so…

Carter: No.

Ridge: Sheila claims she is finn’s birth mother.

Carter: That, that can’t be true.

Ridge: We didn’t think so, but it almost seems like now she is telling the truth for the first time in her miserable life.

Eric: Carter, it’s eric. Brooke is here too. Look, we’re concerned about how this is gonna affect, how it’s gonna affect steffy, and hayes.

Carter: Yeah, so am I.

Eric: Carter, she could use this to work her way back into our family.

Ridge: And we have to make that impossible, alright? We gotta protect steffy and hayes.

Carter: I’m on it.

Eric: You know our family. We’re trusting you to protect it.

Paris: She, she shot your mom?

Steffy: Mm-hm, in cold blood. Sheila is a psychopath.

Paris: Finn, I’m, I’m so sorry, that must have been devastating, to learn about all of this after finally meeting her.

Finn: I’m still trying to wrap my mind around it.

Steffy: But you didn’t know. She was a complete stranger to you.

Finn: I was so excited to introduce her to everyone, I couldn’t figure out why she didn’t want to come back to the reception.

Steffy: I’m just happy we were able to get rid of her.

Paris: Well, I hope it didn’t ruin your day. The ceremony was beautiful, and it was so full of joy.

Finn: We’re great.

Steffy: Yeah, we are, we’re so great. We’re not gonna let her mess with our marriage. And kelly and hayes, they’re happy, and they’re safe, and we’re gonna do whatever we can to shield them, okay? Dad and granddad are taking care of it, so right now, we’ve just gotta focus on this moment and plan our future, and raise our children, and don’t let this outside noise dampen our joy.

Finn: Absolutely.

Steffy: Finn didn’t know anything about his birth mother. She hasn’t been in his life. She’s not going to be in hayes’ life. It’s not gonna happen, ever.

Paris: So, you’re just gonna put her out of your minds?

Steffy: No, we, we have to be on guard because we don’t know what she is gonna do, but she’s not gonna affect us.

Paris: She’s still in la?

Steffy: She knows she’s not welcome here. We don’t want anything to do with her, so there’s no reason for her to be around.

Sheila: Yes, may I please speak to dr. John finnegan?

Nurse: He’s unavailable. You can contact his service.

Sheila: No, no, it’s really important that I speak to him now. Maybe you can help me. I’m calling from the lab, and he put a rush on some results that he asked me to text him as soon as I got them, but I, I’m having a hard time reading his phone number. It’s his personal number. It’s 310…

Nurse: I’m sorry, I can’t give out that information. I can give you the number for his service.

Sheila: No, it’s really important that I get in touch with him right now. I’m, I’m so embarrassed. I’m not supposed to have food on my desk, and I was running late for work today. I had to get my daughter to school. I should have left the, the coffee in my car, but I needed to clock in and I set it on the desk, and sure enough, it spilled all over my notes, and that’s why I can’t read the number. I am so angry with myself.

Nurse: Hey, listen, I’m a mom too.

Sheila: Then, you understand.

Nurse: I do. Mornings are chaos. It’s okay.

Sheila: No, it’s really not. He was really counting on me for this.

Nurse: Alright, I’ll help you out this once.

Sheila: Thank you. Thank you so much. Yes. Ah-uh. I got it.

Nurse: Oh, before you go, if dr. Finnegan asks about those results, who should I tell him I talked to? Hello? Hello? For people who could use a lift

Steffy: I hope you don’t mind I told paris all that stuff.

Finn: No. She needs to know what we’re dealing with.

Steffy: Yeah. She would have felt the tension between us. I didn’t want her to think like anything was wrong.

Finn: Well, there isn’T.

Steffy: No, there isn’T. But I’m really sorry that this happened. Meeting your birth mom could have been a very magical moment.

Finn: Meeting her was emotional, it was, it was shocking. I am never gonna see her again, okay? I promise. I’m not gonna talk to her. If she comes back, I’m not gonna go near her. I know that’s what you want, right?

Steffy: It’s the way it has to be.

Finn: It’s okay. I get it.

Steffy: Okay.

[ Hayes crying ] Yeah, he’s hungry. I’m gonna go. I’m gonna go feed him.

Finn: Right.

[ Hayes crying ] All my life, I’ve wondered about meeting you. What, what you would be like, and if I would see myself in you the day that I met you. Today’s that day.

[ Phone dinging ]

Finn: “So sorry for yesterday. Just had to see you. So proud of the man you’ve become. I wish I could hold hayes. Not possible. I know. I won’t be a problem for you. Promise. I’m leaving town. You’ll never see me again. Love always, mom.”

[ Knocking ]

Keith: Hi, ms. Carter? I called a car for you.

Sheila: Well, keith, you didn’t need to do that. You’re the assistant manager.

Keith: Well, it’s my pleasure. I’ll send up the bellman.

Sheila: Thank you. I guess it’s time to leave.

[ Phone dinging ] He loves me. Oh, my son loves his mother.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning, Aunt Stella.

Hi, baby.

Someone’s got a lot of fans.

Does that surprise you?

Not at all. There’s a lot of people in port charles… that are pulling for you to be on the mend. How are you feeling?

Like I never had a stroke. Say, you have an in with a doctor. Maybe you could pull some strings and get me released?

Won’t have to pull any strings. You’re released, today.

I wish someone had told me.

N-no, easy, auntie. I wanted to do the honors, okay? So after you fill out the paperwork, I’m taking you home with me.

No. No, no.

Ah, ah, ah. No argument. I want to make sure that your recovery goes as smoothly as possible.

You would really do that for me? After what I’ve done?

Ah, I take it you’re here to see stella.

How is she?

She’s on the mend. She should make a full recovery.

That’s good news. Uh, last time I saw her, we had a disagreement.

Yeah, same here. As much as I hate to say it, maybe it’s a good thing stella doesn’t remember much about the past few days.

It’s fine if you’re having second thoughts about the party. Au contraire, mademoiselle.

La grande fete is still, as you say in your country, on.

[ Chuckles ] This is your country, too.

I’m a citizen of the world, as is my pater, who is leaving for dubai tonight. Prepare yourself for decadence not seen since the holy roman empire fell victim to its own debauchery. Dress accordingly.

What time?

Whenever you want. The party won’t start till you get here.

Don’t tell me that was the elusive victor?

Oh, no, not victor. Spencer.

[ Doorbell rings ]

Thank you for coming. There have been a few developments.

Laura: Developments? Is this about your stalker? Please tell me that you and spencer are not on the outs again.

No, no. This isn’t about spencer.

Grandmother.

Kevin. Speak of the devil.

Were you talking about me?

We are now. Where are you going? I’m not going anywhere. This is father’S.

[ Suitcase thuds ]

Shouldn’t you be on your way?

[ Upbeat music plays ]

Oh, boy, take it off. You’ve got curves like the grand prix. Go ahead, flaunt it.

You flatter me, but the heat of the harsh morning sun on my fair skin, combined with your volatile proximity, may cause me to spontaneously combust.

Ooh. Whew! That’s hot. I see what you did there.

You know what? I’d like to see what you do in my penthouse.

Huh?

What do you say we go back and we try out the sprinkler system? Perhaps we can conduct our own… fire drill.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Britt stammers ]

A little decorum, please?

Huh?

Oh. You may have scarred me for life.

Jason: Alright, can you take a bite yourself? You can? Show me. Look at — wow! Look at that. How good is that? Good job. That’s a good job, donna.

Daddy?

Only your presence could make this morning more perfect than it already was.

Well, if the presence was an hour later, it would have been better.

I have to say, scott, I have never seen my mother this happy.

Well, I’m glad, because I’m as happy as a clam at high tide. You know, life couldn’t be better.

Oh. Oh, boy, oh, boy. I’m sorry. I — I just put my foot in my mouth. I do that. I’m s–

no, it’s fine.

No, no, it was insensitive. It was rude. I — it’s my modus operandi. I do apologize. It’s —

I really don’t need that.

You’re receiving an apology. Savor the moment, britta.

Your mother, she told me about the little gift that your father left you.

You can say huntington’S.

Okay, well, I’m sorry that you have it.

Thank you. Um, but I really don’t want to talk about it.

Okay.

I am living in the moment and for the moment.

Good, good, good.

And thankfully without jason morgan. He would have gotten you killed faster than any debilitating hereditary disease.

I really don’t want to talk about him either.

If it is any comfort, know that, yesterday, I destroyed jason.

I know. I miss your daddy, too.

Good morning.

Hey. Hey. How’s my sweet girl?

[ Laughs ] Thank you for feeding donna this morning.

Yeah. It’s been a pleasure.

Oh, well, you are a pro. I mean, you were so great with michael. You knew how to take care of him before I did.

Yeah, those were some good times.

I know. Oh, my gosh.

[ Chuckles ] Another plus to you living here — your coffee is way better than mine.

So, I guess we have to talk about our problem.

Auntie, how are you gonna ask me that? Of course I want you with me.

[ Sighs ] That’s sweet of you, curtis. But [Sighs] I have a feeling that, before my stroke, I upset a whole lot of people. People you care a great deal about.

What exactly do you remember?

[ Footsteps approach ]

Hey, stella. So good to see you awake.

Hi, jordan.

How are you feeling?

I’m so worried. Uh, curtis, could you give us the room, please? I-I just need to talk to jordan a little.

Yeah. If you need anything, I’ll be a holler away.

Okay. Hey. Hi. You sure have a lot of admirers.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks for the flowers. But what I really need is the truth. Jordan, what happened the last time we were together?

Hey, any word from trina?

She’s staying at josslyn’s house. And she is still not ready to talk to me. Ever since she overheard your aunt confronting me about our affair, it’s like I’ve suddenly become a stranger to her.

There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you.

After I saw the two of you together, spencer came to see me. Did you have anything to do with that?

I don’t know. I told spencer how upset I was that you and his father were getting divorced. I also made it clear that you and I are friends and how much I admire you.

Oh, trina.

Why? What happened?

Nothing. I mean, spencer and I had a surprisingly civil conversation. Considering how he feels about me and the promise I broke, he didn’t have to reach out to me at all.

So, what did you guys talk about?

My marriage to his father. But this time, though, it was less about his dislike of me and more about his concern for his father’s safety.

Because of the stalker? Yes, exactly. Anyway, I agreed that i wouldn’t speak directly to nikolas anymore and we would communicate through our lawyers.

And you’re okay with that?

No. But I’ve resigned myself to it.

No, my — my point is, I was impressed with spencer’s devotion to his dad. I think, in his own way, spencer loves his father as much as I love mine. It’s just so unfortunate that spencer didn’t know his mother, you know?

Not like you. You’re so lucky. You and your mom are so close.

Not anymore.

Thank you for thinking of me, son, but I don’t need to leave quite yet.

Well, your luggage is waiting.

Spencer.

Dr. Collins.

[ Clears throat ] Your grandmother tells me that you’re upset about the mistakes that I made with my brother.

Mistake. The one that nearly took my aunt lulu’s life? The one that did take kiki’s? I mean, ava’s not my favorite person, but she certainly didn’t deserve what your brother did to her.

Yes, those mistakes. And you’re right, I never should have tried to treat my brother on my own. But if you choose to remain angry at me, there’s very little I can do about it.

I’d say that there is nothing you can do.

Except remind you that your enmity weighs heavily on your grandmother.

Playing the grandmother card might not be beneath you, dr. Collins, but it is certainly beneath me.

I am not a card to be played. And it does hurt me. He’s my husband. I love him. I expect you to make some effort towards making peace.

Well, grandmother… all you had to do was ask.

Thank you.

So, about this trip?

It’s just — it’s just a business trip. I need to go to dubai.

Ah. Well, in that case, kevin and I will stay here with spencer.

You don’t need to adjust your plans on my account.

Laura: Oh, nonsense. It’s going to be fun. Besides, it’ll give you the opportunity to reconnect with kevin.

I think we’ve made enough progress for today. Besides, I have plans of my own — solitary plans.

Doing what?

Being solitary. I’ve just spent the last few years at boarding school constantly surrounded by people. I’m going to enjoy being alone, and I’m trying to learn to love my own company.

I applaud the idea.

So you’re not staying?

Oh, yes, we are. Don’t worry, your grandmother and I will give you a wide berth so you can experience your solitude.

But if you’re here, I’m not going to have any solitude. It defeats the entire purpose.

I’m sure that it will ease your father’s mind to know that we’re here in case you need us.

Actually, mother, it won’T.

I know that I said that I was gonna give trina some time, but it’s been two whole days, and I know that it doesn’t sound like a long time —

no, no, I’m sure that when it comes to your child, two days is a lifetime.

How long am I supposed to let this go on for?

Portia, I wish I had something useful to say right now or that I could offer some advice, but I have zero experience of being a parent. But what I can offer you is a shoulder to lean on.

Well, that works for me. Stella, the last time we met, it’s water under the bridge.

[ Scoffs ] If it’s water, I’m drowning in it. I can feel in my heart I did wrong. That I went on some sort of grand meddling mission. I know I was in your office… and you were upset with me. Is that right?

It is.

Was it because you and curtis were getting divorced?

You’re two for two. You were trying to convince me to give my marriage with curtis another shot. So, to prove a point, I signed the divorce papers right in front of you, I put them in an envelope, and I threw them into my outbox. Sealed… and on its way to be delivered to the courthouse. Stella…are you remembering something?

I don’t know. There’s something about that, like it’s right in front of me, [stammers] If I could just grab it. I have a feeling it’s important.

Mother, what did you do to jason? And I hope it involved a mechanical tool like a circular saw.

Unfortunately, I have left my violent ways behind. So I used the next best weapon in my arsenal — my words. I told herr morgan exactly what I thought of him.

Well, that’s like talking to a turnip.

Anna devane thought the same thing. But I saw his face when I hit him with my best shot. I reminded him that he was the first person you confided in about your illness. You opened your heart and shared your fear, only for the coward to leave you for his dead friend’s wife. He will never, never stop thinking of you, britta. You will haunt him. I made sure of it.

Okay, so you said joey novak was cocky with you?

Yeah, I told him the families wouldn’t approve. Brick’s looking into it. I did some searching myself, but it just doesn’t make any sense as to why joey novak would approach josslyn.

Well, clearly, he was sending a message. What was it?

We don’t have answers yet. But we will, because we’re calling a meeting with the five families.

“We”?

You and me. We’re going to face them together and send a message that we’re a united front.

don’t understand what’s going on. When I went to that meeting, the heads of the families stood with me against cyrus — every last one of them, including the novaks. So what’s changed?

I don’t know. That’s what we’re gonna find out.

Okay, I have to tell you that jax is livid about the joey-josslyn incident.

Well, can you blame him?

No. I-I — I don’t blame him at all. I tried telling him it’s a one-time thing, that joey is just some punk and it will never happen again, but I don’t know if that’s true.

It is — it is true. I’m gonna back the families off, okay? I’m not going to let anything happen to you or the kids.

I mean, the way you said that, it… it sounded like they were your kids.

We are family. You know? It’s my responsibility to protect and love them, and that’s what I’m gonna do.

Trina, what’s going on between you and your mom?

I don’t want to tell you what happened with my mom. It makes her look like a really bad person, which…maybe she is.

Well, I appreciate you wanting to protect her, but trust me when I tell you there is nothing your mom could have done that would surprise me or shock me. And I also know how much she loves you, so I know from experience that she must be hurting right now, too.

Maybe she deserves to. My mom cheated on my dad with curtis ashford.

But your parents have been divorced for a very long time, haven’t they?

It happened years ago. Not only did my mom betray my dad, she lied to curtis and never told him she was married.

I see.

Right? My mom is always talking about the importance of truth and honesty. Now it turns out she’s a total hypocrite.

My aunt stella’s trying to figure out and remember what happened the day she had her stroke. Is there some way that you can determine how soon she might get her memory back? Or if she can get it back?

I’m afraid not. Some patients recover their memories, and some never do.

Right, right, right.

[ Sighs ] Cameron webber, he told us that my aunt had an envelope that she wanted to mail, but that was before she collapsed, and it was damaged, so it was thrown away.

And you don’t have any idea what that could have been?

Yeah, I remember you signing the papers. But beyond that, it’s a blur.

Stella, I want you to know that after I signed the divorce papers, I went to go find curtis to try to fight for our marriage one last time, but it was too late.

Thanks for telling me. And I am so, so sorry.

Me, too. But thank you.

[ Scoffs ] Dear god, for what?

[ Laughs ] For your single-mindedness of purpose.

You mean my stubbornness?

I do. Thank you for accepting me into your family, eventually. For fighting like hell to keep me in it. For inspiring me to make that last try to save it. It didn’t work out, but… now I can let go, knowing that I gave it my all.

[ Sighs ] Do you really think it’s a good idea for spencer to stay here alone?

He’s practically a grown man.

I am a grown man.

What if the stalker comes back?

The stalker has never shown any interest in spencer. Besides, there’s a security team in place, not to mention the staff.

So much for solitude.

They’re different. They stay out of the way.

And I also agree. Spencer’s lived in dorms for years, and he needs to learn to be on his own and to keep his own counsel.

I just want to enjoy the family homestead and get a little bit of quiet.

Well… okay, then. I’m a phone call away.

I know. Thank you, grandmother. And I’m really looking forward to spending that quality time with you. Just not tonight.

Okay. We’ll have to make plans. Can’t wait. Father, have a good trip.

I’ll do my best. Spencer… I want to apologize again. I should have never been suspicious of you. You know, we’ve made such progress together as a family.

Um, I think it’s best that we just forget this and not let it get in the way.

Yeah, let’s not.

Farewell.

What did you suspect him of?

That’s why I called you over. I… I found this letter to spencer… from ryan chamberlain.

I don’t understand why she told you this in the first place.

She didn’t tell me. She should have, but she didn’T. And I have a right to know.

No, you don’T. No, no. First of all, no mother is obligated to discuss any extramarital affairs with her children. But I — and secondly, by sparing you the details of a mistake she made a very long time ago, I think your mother was just trying to give herself a clean slate.

But she lied to my dad.

Yeah. And I can understand why you would be upset about that, but it’s also none of your business.

How can you say that? I’m their daughter.

Yeah, but it’s their marriage we’re talking about, and what goes on in their marriage is their business.

But —

and, trina, you know, affairs, sometimes they’re a symptom of a bigger problem. When somebody is feeling unloved or very lonely, sometimes they do things they wouldn’t ordinarily do. The bottom line here, trina, is that you need to show your mother some compassion.

But —

no, there’s no — there is no “but” about it. This is your mother, and she disappointed you. I get that. I understand that. But trina, none of us — not even you — is perfect.

I have no idea what my aunt was about to put in the mailbox, and, unfortunately, neither does she. So…

hey.

Hey. I see you’re still standing. Stella and I had a meeting of minds about our divorce. She’s finally accepted it.

Thank you for talking to her. I should go get her ready.

[ Sighs ] Last time stella had a stroke, it was because she found out that curtis and I were together, and now… that woman is a force of nature.

[ Both chuckle ]

I mean, first, she refuses to let you in the family, and now she’s gonna do anything possible to prevent you from leaving it.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah.

What else did stella do?

Beyond trying to manipulate you into staying away from curtis? Oh, it went way beyond that. I vaguely remember being at kelly’s with you. And you were angry with me. But why? What had I done?

Do you really want to know?

It’s not a question of what I want, curtis. I need to know.

You confronted portia about the affair that she and I had all those years ago.

Oh, dear lord. I wish being unable to remember would absolve me from all that.

Yeah, I think we’d all rather put it behind us.

Wait a minute. Something else happened when I confronted portia. Something that made it worse. Oh, what was it?

Portia’s daughter, trina. She overheard you.

Oh, god.

Where did you get this?

At spring ridge, among ryan’s belongings. Spencer returned it unopened, but just seeing it, it unsettled me. I wasn’t thinking clearly, and I accused spencer of conspiring with ryan against ava.

[ Scoffs ] Spencer would never do that.

You’re right. The dates don’t match up, hence the apology.

Do you think it’s possible that ryan is trying to use spencer to get to ava somehow?

[ Sighs ] You were right to bring this to us. I think I need to go find out what the hell’s going on at spring ridge.

Yes.

Thank you, kevin. Anything you can do would be appreciated.

Unfortunately, I really do need to get to the airport.

Are you sure that spencer is going to be okay here by himself?

Oh, yes. I’m sure he’ll be fine.

Well, he does seem to be growing up. He did mention that he talked with ava and they agreed to a truce.

He did?

Mm-hmm.

What else did he say?

He said that ava agreed to limit contact with you.

Well, that explains why I received an e-mail instructing me to only communicate with ava through her attorney.

Well, hello, liesl obrecht. Pleasure to see you again.

Cassadine family lore hints at a romance between you and my great uncle victor. And like much greek lore, it is ancient and filled with horrors.[ Chuckles ] Well, nevertheless, I’m quite fond of your magnificent daughter and wish that things could have worked out between her and my father. But alas, my father is a very stubborn and unforgiving man.

Spencer, trust me, things worked out for the best.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. Mr. Baldwin, if memory serves, you’re quite the impressive attorney.

Well, thank you. And listen, kid, if you ever get in any trouble, come see me.

I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you.

Come on. Let’s go somewhere and catch up.

Victor cassadine?

[ Sighs ] I spent decades in a romantic stupor over cesar faison. All things considered, victor was a step up. Even so. I shall put it this way. Cesar was, as britta would say, rock bottom. Victor was topsoil. And you… are the stars.

No more putting me and your father together.

Can I help it if I think you belong together?

Yes, you can, because you did it to weaponize me against ava, and friends don’t use each other like that.

You’re right. I’m sorry.

Wow, that’s very mature of you. You’ll forgive me if it takes me a minute to buy it.

Take all the time you need. By the way, you should know, I’ve decided that I’m going to spend less time worrying about my father’s life and focus on my own. In fact, I was just over at the restaurant, taking advantage of their excellent catering service.

Oh! Special occasion?

I’m throwing a party to end all parties, and I want you to come. Feel free to bring a plus-one.

I have been meaning to ask you this. Even now, I hesitate.

You can ask me anything.

Very well. I’m attending a medical conference on new research and advancements in treatment of hereditary diseases, including huntington’S.

Hmm. Where?

Saint lucia.

Hmm. How long?

A week.

I’m going to lose you for a whole week?

Not if you come with me.

I presume your stubborn and unforgiving father is unaware of your par-tay plans?

He’s gonna be in dubai.

Oh.

Please come.

To chaperone a bevy of gen zers? No thanks.

You’ll hardly be a chaperone. Maybe you’ll meet someone. Unless you want to bring that plus-one.

I think I’ll steer clear of romance with 18-year-olds.

So, you’re not seeing anyone?

Spencer!

I’m serious about that party, though.

You know how your father can be.

So, trina overheard the whole exchange.

Oh, no.

Yeah. Yeah. Now she sees me as someone who stepped out on her father and lied to curtis.

[ Sighs ] She’s spent the last two nights over at josslyn’s house. You’re probably thinking this is what I get, right?

Oh, no, I am in no position to judge you or anyone. I kept from tj that I knew cyrus was behind his abduction, and he was furious. I mean, rightfully so. But look at me and tj now. We’re close again. I promise you, if tj and I can find a way past my mistakes, you and trina can find a way past yours.

Any idea how?

Oh.

[ Sighs ] Whatever you do, don’t push. It never works. Just let trina come to you.

What have I done to that poor child?

Aunt stella, look, take it easy, okay? Take it easy. The last thing you need after a stroke is to elevate your blood pressure.

Oh. Trina…

she’ll come around. After all, if there’s one thing you always taught me, it’s that we all have the capacity to forgive.

Oh, I hope so, ’cause I’m gonna need all the forgiveness I can get.

You said your mother didn’t tell you about the affair. So how did you find out about it?

I overheard ms. Henry unloading on my mom about it. Then, not too long after, ms. Henry had a stroke. She’s gonna be okay, but the whole thing is just a mess.

I can see how it seems that way, especially because you’re at the heart of it, which means if you want things to get better…

which I do. …

Then you’ve got to be the one to start making them better. Go and see your mom and talk to her.

I don’t know if I’m ready to do that.

Well, you don’t have to be ready. Not right this minute. But soon, okay? Because I’ve learned the hard way that we cannot let things like this fester. We need to set things right as soon as we can.

Well, donna is down for her nap.

Um… I heard her earlier when she called you daddy.

Yeah, I mean, she doesn’t really know what she’s saying.

Yes, she does. I mean, she doesn’t remember sonny. But she knows what daddy means, and to her, you’re daddy and… are you okay with that?

[ Sighs ]

Well, I forgive you.

Why?

Why? Because I love you. I was always going to forgive you, aunt stella. And because you were fighting for something that you believe in, something that i asked you to believe in.

Mm.

But, aunt stella, my marriage to jordan is over, and I need you to accept that.

Yes. Yes, it took a stroke to get me here, but I — I finally, finally accept it.

Good. Let’s get you out of here.

But, curtis, how will portia and trina ever get over what I did to them?

They are resilient, strong women, just like you. I’m sure things will work themselves out over time.

Portia, you’re a good mother. Just give trina a little time to remember that, because she will.

Thank you. You know, maybe there’s hope for our friendship yet.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Oh, hey, portia. I just wanted you to know that, um… I had to tell my aunt stella about what happened with trina.

Oh, no. I was hoping we could protect her from that.

I know, me too, but she insisted, and you know when my aunt stella insists…

yeah, no. I — I get it. So, how is she taking it?

She’s embarrassed. But most of all, she’s worried about how this affected trina.

Me too.

A week in saint lucia? Do I have to go to the lectures?

Of course not. I have to pay close attention, and you are far too distracting.

Well —

but there will be plenty of extra time to… socialize.

Hmm? Count me in, mein schnitzel.

[ Laughs ]

Tell me all about your broken heart. Sharing is healing. Uh…

[ Clears throat ] I will share this with you — your back says “kick me.” Huh?

[ Laughs ] Who was the last person to put sunscreen on your back?

Trina.

[ Laughs ] When did you get here?

You know, from this angle, it kind of looks like it says “kiss me.”

[ Snorts ]

Are you sure there isn’t something I can do to help you out with trina?

I’ll let you know if I think of anything. Hell, I’d probably storm over to josslyn’s house and bring trina home myself if jordan hadn’t convinced me not to.

Alright.

The truth is, spencer has every right to be upset with me. I never should have tried to handle ryan on my own.

Yeah, but you paid dearly for that. And, you know, I shouldn’t have to remind spencer of that.

Thank you. This whole business about harmony writing letters for ryan does have me worried. I think I should go to spring ridge and just find out what I can.

We can’t afford any mistakes with ryan.

And you won’t make any more. I have total confidence in you.

Oh, that’s nice to hear.

I love you, dr. Collins.

And I love you, madam mayor.

Is this what we’re talking about?

Proximity.

Works for me. ‘

Ava.

Nikolas.

You can’t be here.

Actually, I can.

No! No, you can’T. If the stalker finds out, things could get a lot worse for us.

It won’T. Because I know who the stalker is.

Now that my father is on the way to the emirates, I have to finish with the party plans.

You kids have fun.

I mean it, britt. Please come. It’ll heal what ails you.

Oh.

[ Sighs ] You know, I’ve always been a “physician, heal thyself” kind of gal.

Mm. How’s that working out for you?

We should probably teach donna to call me jason.

Okay.

You know, sonny is her father. And she — she probably won’t remember him, but…[ Sighs ] Just feels wrong to take his place.

Yeah. But whatever, you know, donna wants to call me, as long as she knows that I love her and that I’m gonna protect her.

[ Chuckles ] Well, she senses that already.

Um, are you sure you’re not imagining things, carly?

No. No, because you are one of donna’s favorite people. Like mother, like daughter.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: You say you’re looking for a friend, well, look no further. You were the guiding force that figured out how sally and tara were working together to come between kyle and summer. I had my doubts all along. You were right from the start. Kudos to you.

Phyllis: Yay to me.

Jack: What’s wrong?

Phyllis: I raised my daughter to be a strong, independent woman, didn’t I? Yeah, I raised her to run from no fight, run from no challenge. I raised the kind of woman who would do whatever she wanted with whomever she wanted and be whatever she wanted.

Jack: All great qualities. What is the problem?

Phyllis: She took me up on it.

Chelsea: Connor says lacrosse camp is going well.

Adam: That kid is becoming a phenom on the field. Fast, strong, tough.

Chelsea: Just like his parents.

Adam: Yeah, before he left, i advised him that he should take this opportunity to improve his skills, and he really listened.

Chelsea: I hope you don’t think I put up too much of a fight when you wanted to bring him back from minnesota.

Adam: No, not at all. I realize it was hard for you, but you did the right thing, letting him come back here.

Chelsea: I was actually thinking it might be fun to visit him at camp, you know? See him in action.

Adam: Sure. He would love that.

Chelsea: Maybe you could take the day off and join us. Think about how much fun connor would have. I mean, we just haven’t had a chance to be together for him as a family, you know? We haven’t been able to be there for him like that in so long.

Adam: You’re right. He would love that. Um…I’ll check my calendar.

Chelsea: Or maybe we could make a weekend of it. You know, find something fun to do in the area, go to one of the restaurants by camp, or maybe we could take connor out of camp for a night and do a sleepover at a hotel.

Adam: Honestly, chelsea?

Chelsea: You don’t think it’s a good idea.

Adam: It’s not that, it’s just all this talk about family time. I’m curious — where do you see that going?

Sally: I was just saying the same thing to a friend new york. That all of the looks that are coming out of paris this season have, like, a certain…

Chloe: Je ne sais quoi.

[ Chuckles ]

Sally: Yes, precisely. No, I love the silhouettes and the playfulness, the colors, the textures.

Chloe: I just love that you come at everything from such an interesting angle. I mean, you’re fun, but serious. Audacious, but grounded.

Sally: Well, that’s me.

Chloe: And this is what i mean when I was talking about partnership benefiting both of us, because if you could put that all down in writing, you could occupy the top spot on newman media’s fashion site. I mean, I’m thinking maybe even a byline that reads “sally spectra, contributing expert.” I don’t know, something along those lines. And I don’t know, I mean, if things turn out the way they should, what do you think about being the face of the platform?

Sally: Ha, I would love it. I mean, I already have a million ideas.

Chloe: Good, I want to hear them all. So next, I think we just need to have lauren sign off on your side hustle, which I really don’t think will be a problem because jcv could really use the press and, I mean, not to mention, she’s family.

Sally: Uh, put — put your phone away, chloe.

Chloe: Why?

Sally: ‘Cause this would never work.

Rey: Hey.

Sharon: Oh, hi. I was just about to text you.

Rey: Yeah, are you looking for an update on tracking mariah’s location using her cellphone data?

Sharon: Yeah. Please tell me that you’ve had some good luck.

Rey: Oh. I know this isn’t what you want to hear, but I’ve been running into the same roadblocks that tessa has. I’ve been using more sophisticated software, but the results are the same.

Sharon: Is there something else we can do?

Rey: Well, there is one more thing I want to look into, but unfortunately, I can’t give you any information on mariah’s location right now. She could be anywhere.

Sharon: Look, I know you don’t like making guesses without a lot of facts, but you also have a lot of experience to draw on. And I probably know mariah better than anyone so that means I have no objectivity. What is your gut telling you? What do you think is going on with mariah?

Rey: I hate to say this, sharon, but sometimes people don’t want to be found.

Abby: [ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Devon: Hey, is that mariah?

Abby: I don’t know why I even keep trying. I wonder if she knows how worried we are about her or how much we miss her, how much we want her to come back home.

Devon: I think she has an idea.

Abby: I just — I want her to know how grateful I am to her and to you, too, and if space is what she needs, then, fine, i will move out of the chancellor house until the baby’s born. Mariah and tessa can have the whole place to themselves.

Devon: Abby, that’s not gonna be necessary. I’m sure when she comes back, she’s gonna be ready to be around everybody again.

Abby: I hope so. I just — I keep sending these texts to who knows where, and i hear nothing in response. It’s just — it’s all so hard.

[ Cellphone vibrates ] Do you think it could be…?

Devon: There’s one way to find out.

Abby: [ Sighs ] “Please stop. I need more time. You’re not making this any easier.”

[ Pounding on door ]

Mariah: You don’t scare me, you know.

Tessa: Mariah? Are you in there? It’s me.

Mariah: Tessa, oh, my god. Tessa?! Tessa, it’s me! I’m here!

[ Gasps ] I can’t get out. Somebody locked me in here, and I’ve been trapped here ever since.

Tessa: I’m here to get you out and take you home where you belong.

Mariah: Oh, I knew you would find me. The door — the door is locked.

Tessa: Stand back.

Mariah: What?

Tessa: Mariah, I mean it. Get away from the door.

Mariah: Okay. Um… I’m good. Just be careful.

Tessa: [ Grunts ]

Mariah: Are you okay?

Tessa: Yeah.

[ Hitting door ]

Mariah: Tessa. Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

[ Gasping ] Oh, my god. You don’t know how many times I’ve hoped and I’ve prayed for this moment, just so I could see your face.

Tessa: Oh, babe, you’re breaking my heart.

Mariah: How did you find me?

Tessa: I didn’T.

Mariah: What? What are you talking about? Of — of course you did. You’re right here.

Tessa: I want to be able to tell you and the baby how i saved you one day, but, honey, listen to me. This is important. I have no idea where you are and no idea why you left us in the first place. Everyone thinks you’ve deserted us.

Mariah: No, I would never —

Jack: Hey. I know how proud you are of your daughter.

Phyllis: Of course I’m proud. Of course I am. I mean, she got everything she wanted. She has a great job, her fiancé is by her side. She has an adorable little stepson. I just… I wish she had that here.

Jack: Yeah, I know that feeling.

Phyllis: Oh, it’s bad enough that daniel’s in savannah. I see him, like, never, ever.

[ Scoffs ] And the reason that I uncovered everything behind, you know, sally and tara’s scheme is because I wanted to pave the way for summer to come back home. But she didn’t want to come back home. She’s in another continent. I mean, I can’t really call her up now and say, on the spur of the moment, “hey, you want to go out for brunch? You want to go shopping?”

Jack: I do get this, but just pretend that summer got this job without sally pulling any strings. You had to be pretty excited when she got the job, even knowing it would take her out of town, right?

Phyllis: But I wasn’t, because I knew there was something shady going on, so I didn’t allow myself to get excited. So it’s like she was pulled over there for really no good reason.

Jack: No, a great job is a very good reason to move.

Phyllis: It’s a very good reason, jack, but it just —

[ Sighs ] I did all of this so she would come home. And she’s not coming home. She’s still [Scoffs] Like seven time zones away.

Jack: I suspect if I spent the rest of the day coming up with reasons you should feel better about this, I wouldn’t put a dent in it. So let me ask you something — how does nick feel about this? Is he as upset as you are, or is he already seeing a silver lining? Judging from that reaction, the two of you are not seeing eye to eye.

Phyllis: Mnh-mnh, we are not.

Jack: What does nick say?

Phyllis: I’m not gonna tell you what he says, ’cause I have a feeling you’re gonna agree with him, and then you two will be right, and then I’ll be wrong. And I will not accept that.

Chelsea: I let myself get carried away, didn’t I? Um…I’m sorry.

Adam: It’s okay.

Chelsea: I’m just excited to give connor all the things he missed out on last year when he was at boarding school.

Adam: So am I.

Chelsea: But if my suggestions are making you uncomfortable, we can scale back my ideas.

Adam: I think we need to take it a step at a time.

Chelsea: Not a problem. I think I’m just excited about my progress, you know? Every day is like a renewal. Every day is a chance to take another step forward.

Adam: Well, that’s a good way to look at it.

Chelsea: I mean, being out of the hospital is just liberating.

[ Exhales ] I’m finally realizing just how bad it got, and I just want to start to piece my life back together as best I can. So if it seems like I’m going overboard trying to, you know, get all the quality family time, it’s just because I feel ready, and that’s a really good feeling.

Adam: That’s nice to hear.

Chelsea: But?

Adam: I am glad that you’re being so positive. I think that that is great. But I’m worried that too much too soon might confuse connor about where things stand between us.

Chelsea: It’s never going back to the way things were, is it?

Adam: I think it’s just best that we say this out loud, chelsea. Too much has changed. We will always be connor’s parents, and he can always count on us working together and making his life as happy as possible, but we need to make our own paths forward now. Separately.

Chloe: Wait. Everything was going so great. Why put the brakes on all of a sudden? What’s the problem?

Sally: Me. I’m the problem, so why don’t you just save yourself a lot of heartache and have somebody else write for your site?

Chloe: Does this have something to do with what phyllis told me?

Sally: [ Sighs ] I just got so swept up in the idea of everything that i thought there could be a way to make this work, but there’s not. You’re gonna learn the truth eventually, and I’m sure lauren will relish in telling you why she fired me.

Chloe: Oh, uh, sorry, so you don’t work for jcv anymore?

Sally: That is the least of it.

Chloe: Well, it couldn’t be that bad. I mean, what, were you trying to bring back the poodle skirt or something?

Sally: Do you really want to know?

Chloe: Sure. I mean, listen, I’m gonna hear about it anyway, so you might as well tell me your end of the story.

Sally: Okay. Alright, here it is in all its glory — the tragic tale of the downfall of sally spectra.

[ Sighs ] Okay, right after I arrived from la trying to carve out a new fashion niche for myself, i learned that summer had gotten my dream job, while I became lauren’s assistant. And I was very grateful for the opportunity, don’t get me wrong, but I ran my own fashion house. I had my own lines. I have massive amounts of experience. And here I was, starting at the bottom again. So I bided my time, until i learned that ashland locke was giving his wife the boot, and i saw that our goals aligned. Summer had both the job that i wanted and the man that tara wanted, and I — together, we could make our dreams come true. So I asked eric forrester and asked him for a job recommendation, and long story short, one thing led to another, and boom, now summer is the creative director for angelina marchetti in milan.

Chloe: So how did you get her to take the job? I mean, aside from it being a bad-ass career move?

Sally: Well, tara told summer that if summer didn’t take the job, that she would make sure that kyle never saw his son again.

Chloe: Oh. Well, yeah, that’S…extreme.

Sally: And unfortunately, phyllis figured everything out and told everyone, so now kyle and summer are living happily ever after in italy, and I am out of a job. And now we can just part ways and you can pretend that you never met me. (Tonya) smoking damaged my heart.

Chloe: Maybe we should shift focus and talk about a deadline for your first piece.

Sally: Did you not hear everything I just said?

Chloe: I heard every word, very clearly. And I knew going in that you’re no saint. I mean, I didn’t know things had gotten that crazy.

Sally: So why are you still here?

Chloe: My best friend chelsea is trying to turn her life around, and I want that to happen for her. So your story resonates with me. But mainly, I used to be you, more or less. Things change. People change. I mean, now I have two gorgeous kids and a man who loves me, and the man I loathed more than anything on this earth gave me an incredible job with a lot of autonomy, free rein to do anything I want, and what I want is to have sally spectra’s byline on my site. So are we gonna get to work, or what?

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Abby: I’m trying really hard not to be angry with mariah because she’s a good person and there has to be some logical reason why this happened.

Devon: Yeah, I — I really don’t know the right way to respond to this.

Abby: Well, empathy — empathy is what I want to feel. I mean, mariah wouldn’t be pregnant if it wasn’t for me, if I hadn’t asked her to carry the baby. And I just — I want to hug her and I want to tell her that i understand how difficult this is for her, and I am sorry for hovering, but, you know, you can’t hug someone through a text. I can’t make her feel how much I love her.

Devon: I know, but you’ve said that to her in person tons of times.

Abby: Which is part of the problem. I wouldn’t stop talking about it, and now she’s having to deal all of this by herself. And I don’t think she realizes that she’s making it more difficult. I mean, isolation is not the answer.

Devon: You’re absolutely right. And I don’t know what’s going through mariah’s mind. I know that you’ve shown more empathy than most people would in your situation right now. But you just have to try and remember to not worry so much about mariah that you forget to take care of yourself. Like you should delegate and have some of your staff handle the paperwork until she comes back home.

Abby: Yeah, yeah, you’re right. I can do that.

Devon: Yeah. Yeah, and you know what? Maybe you need to distract yourself, too. Why don’t you plan to go and hang out with nina or something?

Abby: Well, nina is in la. A film company hired her to work on a script.

Devon: Oh, really?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: I figured she would be in town until chance came home.

Abby: I told her to go. I would hate if any of this interfered with her life or her career.

Devon: Well, you still have me. I’m not going anywhere. And hey, speaking of films, i have an idea. You should make another video for chance. It might make you feel better to focus on him like that, have that connection. I’ll be your camera man.

Abby: Yeah, I don’t know.

Devon: No? Was it something I said?

Abby: No, you always give the perfect advice. It’s just I haven’t been making those video diary entries recently.

Devon: Why haven’t you?

Abby: Because I’m afraid.

Devon: What are you afraid of?

Abby: Of what he’ll see. Is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes

Devon: Hey. You never answered my question. What are you afraid of chance seeing in these videos?

Abby: Resentment. Do you remember how I talked to you about how I was feeling angry that I was having to deal with all of this by myself? You’re the only person that i can talk about that stuff with.

Devon: Okay, but you know that everything you’re feeling is completely normal.

Abby: Yeah, but it scares me to think about him coming home and watching the videos and seeing that.

Devon: Why is that scary? That’s your husband. That’s like the one person who you shouldn’t have to hide your feelings from, right?

Abby: Yeah, but he has a lot on his plate. He’s on a job that’s taken him away from everyone he loves. He’s putting his life in jeopardy every single day. And the last thing I would want is for him to come home and feel like I wasn’t giving him 110% of my support while he was away.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone vibrates ] Sorry. What if this is —

Devon: Is it mariah?

Abby: No, it’s sharon. She’s with rey. They want to meet.

Devon: Okay. Alright, I’ll go with you.

Phyllis: You know, I came here to talk to a friend, not get the third degree, but you want to know how nick’s being? Yeah, he’s being great. Great, rational, reasonable. Terrific. Terrific about this entire thing.

Jack: You don’t say.

Phyllis: Yeah. He thinks it’s wonderful that our daughter is in italy having the time of her life at her dream job. He is so happy for her that she is thriving.

Jack: My god, what has gotten into him?

Phyllis: You know what? I don’t appreciate your sarcasm. I want to feel how you guys feel, but all I do is miss my daughter. I just miss my daughter, okay?

Jack: Okay, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to tease you. I will stop right now.

Phyllis: Thank you.

Jack: I do know how you feel. I love summer and kyle more than I can say, and I could not be happier that the two people i love so much are together right now. But it comes at a price.

Phyllis: I mean, you don’t have your co-ceo anymore.

Jack: I enjoyed every single minute watching my son grow into this competent, strong businessman.

Phyllis: And harrison. What about him?

Jack: Hopefully kyle and ashland will work out some way for harrison to spend time in milan with them, and that, of course, is time I won’t have watching my grandson grow up or watching my son become a father.

Phyllis: You know how I feel.

Jack: Yeah. You know what, though? We didn’t — we didn’t have kids to become clones of ourselves that never leave our side. There’s a cost we have to pay. It’s — it’s part of the package. And I mean, they’re not out of our lives, they’re out of the country.

Phyllis: Long plane ride away.

Jack: Yeah, a long plane ride away to really great brunch opportunities and good shopping.

Phyllis: Yeah. Yay. I know what you want me to say. You want me to say, “stop feeling sorry for yourself and be happy for your brilliant daughter.”

Jack: You think you’re gonna do that?

Phyllis: No.

Jack: No, I didn’t think so.

[ Both laugh ]

Phyllis: I’ll try to do that. You know, it’s just really hard. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] I need a drink. You want a drink? I’m paying.

Jack: If you’re buying, I’d love to have a drink.

Phyllis: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: Hey, adam.

Adam: [ Sighs ] Don’t bother knocking. Come on in. Who do we have here?

Chloe: This is the person who will give our fashion platform instant credibility and set us apart from the rest — sally spectra.

Sally: Nice to meet you.

Adam: Sally spectra. Where have I heard that name before?

Sally: Well, I’m only slightly famous, but it’s mostly because of great-aunt, the original sally spectra, which lucky for you ’cause otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to afford me.

Adam: I know why you seem so familiar. You were dating jack abbott, weren’t you?

Sally: Yeah, but that’s in the past.

Adam: He’s a friend of mine.

Sally: Wow, everyone in this town really does know each other.

Chloe: Tell you what, give jack a call, he’ll give you all the dirt on sally. It won’t be pretty, but I don’t care because you told me I can hire whoever I want, and I am standing by my latest discovery.

Adam: It never crossed my mind to call jack, but now it sounds like maybe I should.

Chloe: Don’t forget, if we start holding people to unreasonable standards because of their questionable pasts, you and I are the first ones out the door.

Adam: [ Sighs, chuckles ] Fair enough. Sally…welcome aboard.

Certain hpv-related cancers?

“The young and the restless”

will continue.

Chloe: Now, this is the perfect place to celebrate your new job. We’re gonna pop some bubbly and we’re gonna brainstorm.

Sally: Man, I really thought things were gonna go south whenever adam remembered that i used to date jack, because trust me, whatever negative things lauren has to say about me, they are not nearly as bad as what jack could tell you.

Chloe: And I am so glad that you were honest with me because now we can just start with a clean slate — no secrets, no skeletons. And I don’t really care what jack has to say because you already told me everything that I need to know.

Sally: Why are you so willing to take a chance on me?

Chloe: Because I have a really good feeling about you, a sense that this risk is really going to pay off.

Sally: You have no idea how good it feels to have someone actually believe in me.

Chloe: I mean, I know that you can’t just change overnight. I mean, that would be naive, but all I’m saying is just don’t bring whatever you’re getting into into work because I am very serious about this new venture, and I know adam. If you cross the line, then I’m gonna pay the price, so don’t even try it, because I am 10 times meaner than lauren.

Sally: You don’t have to worry about me at all. I learned my lesson. I just plan on keeping my head down and staying focused on my work.

Chloe: Then I think we’re gonna get along just fine.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Chloe: And I was serious about what I said before, about you being our on-camera personality. You know, there are some really big fashion shows coming up, so I’m thinking you can interview some designers, get some backstage exclusive footage.

Jack: This was a good idea.

Phyllis: Yeah, I’m filled with good ideas. You know that about me.

Jack: How could I have forgotten that?

Chloe: Sally? What do you think?

Sally: Sorry, we were talking about video.

Chloe: Close. We were talking about making you a star.

Sally: [ Chuckles ]

Rey: Thank you all for coming. I know that everyone here is anxious to find out the latest on the search for mariah.

Devon: What did you guys find out?

Rey: Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find out anything on her location. Even with using the department’s more sophisticated software, I’ve been running into the same problems that tessa has — a message that says mariah’s location has been turned off.

Abby: Okay, so what do we do now?

Tessa: We stop pretending that this isn’t as bad as it seems. It’s time to do more than just cross our fingers and hope mariah’s gonna come home on her own. Not everyone feels this as strongly as I do, I get that. But it’s one thing for mariah to want some time to herself, but to go to these extremes to be alone? Sorry, that’s not mariah. And everyone needs to acknowledge that — now.

If you have postmenopausal

osteoporosis

Sharon: Tessa, I know that you’re convinced that something more happened to mariah than we know about, and I’m not telling you that you’re wrong, but as rey said earlier, there’s just no proof.

Rey: Look, I understand why you want to hit the panic button, but I can’t do anything without a lead, and so far, we don’t have any. That’s why I called you all over here so I could see if there’s anything that I’m missing.

Tessa: I know in my heart that something’s off.

Abby: And there’s one thing i know for sure — if mariah knew how upset we all were, she’d be home in a flash if she could.

Sharon: I think abby’s right. Mariah loves her job. She takes it very seriously. She texted jack to say that she would be gone for a few days, and then no one at jabot has heard from her ever since. She missed a prenatal appointment after she said she would be home in time for it.

Tessa: She knows how dangerous that can be for her and the baby. And she knows how much she means to me.

Sharon: And the bottom line is, mariah may be upset, but she’s not cruel. She would never torture tessa or abby or any of us intentionally.

[ Laughter ]

Phyllis: Oh, my gosh, look at that. I warned chloe about that snake, and there she is, carrying on at the bar. They’re like besties.

Chloe: Cheers.

Sally: Cheers!

Jack: Maybe it’s business.

Phyllis: But sally’s unemployed, unless you know something I don’T.

Jack: Adam told me that newman media offered chloe a fashion platform. Maybe sally wants to be part of that.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness.

[ Scoffs ] I wouldn’t put it past her. Seriously, lauren gives her the heave-ho, and here she is, worming her way into chloe’s life.

Jack: I am confident chloe can handle herself. Stop staring.

Phyllis: I can’t even believe this. What is she still doing here? I blew up her scheme sky high. She should be embarrassed. She should be leaving this town with her tail between her legs, not enjoying herself at the bar while my daughter is thousands of miles away. You know what I always say, right? You know what I always say.

Jack: No, I don’T.

Phyllis: Don’t get mad, get even. This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Chloe: So I’m envisioning our video content as a mix of in-studio segments where we’re showcasing new trends and keeping our users up-to-date on the latest fashion news and field coverage and maybe you’re out on the street, styling people and taking people into the headquarters of their favorite designers. I want all of your input, your wildest ideas.

Sally: You might regret saying that.

Chloe: I don’t want you to hold back, okay? We are starting this from scratch, and I know that you just had your wrist slapped, but I don’t want that to diminish your ambition because that is the engine will make this so special.

Sally: Okay, so you would be okay with sending me on a tour of every fashion capital on earth, traveling first class all the way?

Chloe: Okay, let’s maybe not get ahead of ourselves. After everything you just told me, I don’t think I need to explain that.

Sally: Yeah, sorry, I was just day-dreaming out loud. No, I’m all about keeping things on a budget and making you, my brand-new boss, look good because I have a lot to prove, and I do accept full blame for taking things way too far at fenmore’S. But that woman has been out to get me from the moment that we met, and even if I had done nothing, she would have found something to use against me. She’s trouble. And I will never forget it.

Adam: Hey, jack.

Jack: Adam, hello.

Phyllis: Long time no see, adam.

Adam: Don’t tell me you missed me. Hey, jack, chloe just hired sally spectra to start working at newman media. I know that you know her well. Am I making a mistake by letting chloe run with the new hire?

Jack: Well —

Phyllis: I’ll answer that. Yes. A big mistake, gigantic one.

Adam: Any particular reason why?

Jack: It’s —

Phyllis: I’ll answer that. Yes. Because she and tara locke were partners in crime.

Adam: You don’t say.

Phyllis: That one is selfish, self-centered, and devious. While tara locke is rightfully facing charges, this one over here lands on her feet.

Adam: So you’re saying you and sally have a lot in common. Is that why you don’t like her?

Mariah: You, boy, are gonna have the best baby book ever. It’s gonna be three pages at least dedicated to the time that you were kidnapped in utero, all the while, your surrogate had to find her way out of a seemingly impossible situation. So if you want to know what is going on out here, I am searching for something. Anything. A clue to why we’re here, where we are, and who put us here. So maybe we — that’s — that’s a camera. So is that you’ve been doing, you’ve been watching us? Have you been watching us?! How twisted are you?! Why am I here? What do you want? No, no, no, no, no. That’s it, okay? No more video. No more watching. Got it? There. How do you like that? If you want to know what’s going on in here, you can come out from hiding, you coward, and face me.

Sharon: Each of us has tried to get through to mariah, and so far, nothing has worked.

Abby: What do you think we should do?

Sharon: Some sort of digital intervention, just try to get her to understand how we feel being away from her, why we’re so concerned?

Tessa: But what if that doesn’t work?

Sharon: If our intervention isn’t enough to make her come home on her own, then I think that we need to turn up the heat on the search. No more crossing our fingers and waiting for an app to give us answers. No more being passive. If there are no leads, then we need to dig some up. You know, we haven’t yet looked at her credit card usage, her bank account activity, and i think we need to start doing that.

Tessa: Hallelujah. This is what I have wanted all along.

Abby: Sharon’s right. It’s time to bring mariah home, one way or another.

Days of Our Lives Transcript

Days of Our Lives logo

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Ej: Got it, yes. Thank you for finding her number so quickly. Kristen, it’s your brother. It’s great to hear your voice too. Yes, it took a while, but I finally got your letter.

Lucas: I am so sorry. I am so sorry the way this all went down. But I honestly thought ej was gonna try to kill you. If you didn’t walk in just now, he could have just killed me.

Sami: Well, maybe I should have let him.

Lucas: What do you mean?

Sami: I mean that ej knows about us because of you.

Lucas: No, it’s not because of me. I–I tried to keep it from him.

Sami: You couldn’t just leave it in the fireplace to burn, could you? You couldn’t just let it burn.

Lucas: You know?

Sami: Of course I know. And now ej knows every detail about us. And it is because of you.

Rafe: But you are not alone. You’re not. You have holly and henry, allie, and me.

Nicole: You shouldn’t have to deal with this.

Rafe: Well, I want to deal with this. I’m your friend, nicole. I want to help. I will help. I’m not going anywhere. I’m not. Come here.

Nicole: Thank you. You mean so much to me.

Rafe: Yeah.

Nicole: I don’t know what I would do without you.

Ava: [Clears throat] Am I interrupting?

Rafe: Hi.

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

[Soft orchestration]

Philip: What the… it’s frozen. Oh, come on.

Gabi: I had a wonderful day. I think you’re about to get a job offer from philip.

Jake: That’s great.

Gabi: Yeah. I think our plan is officially in motion. See, first, we get rid of philip, and we take over titan, and then we take over the world.

Jake: Wow. So tell me, how exactly does one get the ball rolling on world domination?

Gabi: Oh, easy. I just had to make a slight modification to philip’s computer.

Jake: Hmm.

Philip: Come on. Enough already. Unfreeze, damn it. Stupid bunch of ones and zeros. What the hell?

Chloe: Problem?

Philip: Something wrong with my computer. At least there was. It seems to be working fine now. That’s strange.

Chloe: Maybe a little glitch in the system.

Philip: Probably. So what brings you here?

Chloe: Well, I got out of work early, and I figured since you’ve been so kind in chauffeuring me around when I was injured, now that I’ve got two arms at my disposal, I figured I would return the favor and chauffeur you somewhere. Maybe home?

Philip: That’s very thoughtful.

Chloe: Oh, come on. Don’t tell me you have to work late. I was kind of hoping we could go for a celebratory dinner.

Philip: What exactly would we be celebrating?

Chloe: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe my newly working arm, or us.

Philip: I’m really not that hungry.

Chloe: Oh, well, I kind of thought it was more about the company and not the food. You know what? If we brainstorm a collaboration between basic black and titan, I can use my corporate card.

Philip: Brady would really love that, wouldn’t he?

Chloe: What does brady have to do with this?

Philip: Oh, I don’t know. One thing, he already shot down the idea of our companies working together, so I don’t know if I really wanna brainstorm another idea. Get my ass handed to me again.

Chloe: I was kind of kidding.

Philip: Yeah. Well, here’s an idea. Why don’t you have dinner with brady?

Get ready. It’s time for

the savings event of the year.

Chloe: Did I miss something? Philip, this can’t be about brady and me working together. We discussed that, and you said you were okay with it.

Philip: Did you save him from big, bad xander last night? Get him home safely, tuck him in?

Chloe: What are you talking about?

Philip: I waited for you at the pub for hours. I hoping maybe we could have a romantic nightcap. You never came back.

Chloe: It–it was late, and that party was definitely over.

Philip: You could have returned my text message.

Chloe: What text message? I didn’t get a text from you.

Philip: I’m sure you were pretty busy.

Chloe: Philip–oh. “I’m still at the pub. Everything okay? If you need help with brady, let me know. I’ll be here as long as it takes.” I’m so sorry. I swear I did not see this text last night. I was so tired. I just went straight home and to my room.

Philip: At least it wasn’t brady’S.

Chloe: Excuse me?

Philip: I was just saying–

Chloe: No, I heard what you said. What’s your problem? Brady is my friend, and he’s recuperating from a bad car accident. I wanted to make sure that xander didn’t beat the crap out of him.

Philip: I think brady can take care of himself. Oh, but I’m sure he was thrilled when you showed up.

Chloe: You know what? Forget about that offer for the ride.

Philip: Hey, chloe, just–wait. I’m sorry.

Chloe: Think what you want about brady, but you have to trust me, philip. Okay? I work with brady. He’s my friend, but that’s it. I’m with you, and I wanna be with you. But you have to trust that. And you have to trust me or we don’t stand a chance.

Philip: And you’re right about that. I need to grow the hell up. We’re not in high school anymore. We’re adults. And I am damn lucky to have you in my life.

Chloe: Yeah, you are damn lucky.

Philip: You’re right about another thing.

Chloe: Oh, yeah. What’s that?

Philip: I should have done what you did last night. I should have gone home, got in bed. Maybe then I wouldn’t be in the middle of this mess with sami and lucas.

Lucas: You’re right. I did take kristen’s letter out of the fireplace, but I did not give it to ej.

Sami: Because nicole did.

Lucas: I tried to stop her. I did, but it was way too late. Damn it.

Sami: Oh. Yeah. What are you a hero now for trying to stop her? Nicole would never have had that letter if you hadn’t given it to philip.

Lucas: I never gave it to philip.

Sami: That was your plan all along, lucas, I know it.

Lucas: I never had a plan. Sami, I didn’t have a plan. I told you from the very beginning that I would never do that. That I wouldn’t be the one to tell ej about us.

Sami: No. Right. So you sent your henchman to do it instead.

Lucas: My henchman? Really? No. That’s the other guy.

Sami: Okay. Come on. How stupid do you think I am? Philip has no motive to tell ej. The only reason philip gave that letter to nicole is because you put him up to it. Because you knew nicole would use the letter to destroy my marriage.

Rafe: Ava. Hi. What are you doing here?

Ava: Called your office. They said you took the day off. Are you not feeling well?

Nicole: I’m not sick. Just not having the best day.

Ava: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

Nicole: Look, rafe was just being kind, giving me a shoulder to cry on.

Ava: That sounds serious. Did something happen?

Nicole: You could say that. Sami dimera destroyed my marriage.

Lucas: Listen, I swear–i swear to you, I knew nicole wanted revenge on you because of what you did. You made xander expose her fling in front of everybody. But I did not tell philip to give it to her.

Sami: Oh, really? I know that’s not true. You admitted to me that you wanted to tell ej about us, but then you didn’T. What? You didn’t have the guts, so you talked your brother into doing your dirty work?

Lucas: I didn’t do it. I had nothing to do with this. I’m telling you the truth.

Sami: Then how did philip get the letter, lucas? When it was delivered, gabi took it by accident, right? And then she was able to convince jake not to use it to his advantage. There was only one other person who even knew that letter existed, because I told you. Because I told you how desperate I was to get my hands on it. And then gabi came back, and she handed me the letter. And I burned it. I tried to burn it in the fireplace, and somehow it gets miraculously resurrected by you.

Ej: That’s why our call ended so abruptly the other day. Samantha grabbed the phone from me and hung up on you. Fed me some nonsense about how I could get into trouble for aiding and abetting a wanted criminal. Of course it was just a ploy to keep you from talking to me, because she knew you’d reveal her betrayal with lucas. What am I going to do about samantha? Believe me, I have plans. You’d never want leftover onion residue

Gabi: All I had to do was put a keylogger on philip’s computer.

Jake: Oh, yeah. Keylogger. Nice.

Gabi: Do you know what a keylogger is?

Jake: Of course.

Gabi: What is it?

Jake: It’s a–okay, fine. But do you know what a piffle valve is?

Gabi: Touché. You’re gonna tell me what a piffle valve is later, but let me explain this to you, because it affects us both profoundly. A keylogger is a type of software that records every keystroke that is on a computer. So anything that philip writes–emails, passwords– I will be able to see.

Jake: Wow, that’s damn impressive. And a little scary.

Gabi: I know, right?

Jake: Yeah. Suddenly this whole world domination thing doesn’t seem outside of the bounds of possibility.

Gabi: I told you. And now that I’ve gotten 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. We’ll take him down so fast and hard. He’ll never know what hit him.

Jake: Oh, then we take over the company and the entire world if you have your way, right?

Gabi: Exactly.

Jake: You are a diabolical genius. You know that? An incredibly hot, diabolical genius.

Chloe: What mess with sami and lucas?

Philip: I probably shouldn’t get into it.

Chloe: Does it have anything to do with them sleeping together behind ej’s back?

Philip: Where did you get that idea?

Chloe: Oh, nicole suspected it. And I’m guessing it’s true.

Philip: It is. But you can’t say anything. Lucas told me this in confidence.

Chloe: I will not breathe a word of it, but you know what secrets are like in salem. They have a way of coming out.

Philip: Especially if they have a little help.

Chloe: Philip, what have you done?

Sami: Why were you even spying on me in the first place?

Lucas: I was not spying on you. I was a little upset, because you hung up on me, and I wanted to see you so we could finish our conversation. But when I saw you in front of the fireplace lighting that letter on fire–i don’t know–it got me a little bit curious, you know. Starting a fire in the middle of july. I didn’t know what you were doing. And then when you left, I fished the letter out of the fireplace, and I saw it. And I read it. And yes, I admit, I did wanna show it to ej at first.

Sami: You did want him to know.

Lucas: I did, because you know how I feel about you. You know I wanna be with you. You know I love you. But I didn’t do that, because I didn’t wanna hurt you.

Sami: Oh, great. That sounds so sweet. Except all you did was just make sure someone else did the dirty work.

Lucas: I was upset, okay? I–I confided in my brother, and–and I told him how I felt about you and how I felt about ej.

Sami: Whatever happened to discretion?

Lucas: Listen to me. How would I know that philip would do that? I thought I could trust him. He was helping me out. He knew I was upset. He came up with this plan, you know, this plan that he could make–he made sure that the letter could get to nicole without it getting traced back to me. But I didn’t go along with it. I shut that plan down. I took the letter, and I crumpled it up. I threw it away. It’s not my fault. How should I know that he was gonna go in the trash can and–and give it to nicole? I didn’t know that.

Sami: Well, either way, you got what you wanted. My marriage is blown out of the water. This is the sound of an asthma attack…

Chloe: So you gave the letter to nicole knowing that she would take it to ej?

Philip: That seemed like a great idea at the time. Nicole gets major payback. Lucas gets a shot to be with sami.

Chloe: So lucas had somebody else do his dirty work.

Philip: No, that’s where you’re wrong. This was all me. Lucas passed on it, because as much as he loves sami, he didn’t wanna hurt her. So that’s where I picked up the ball– with a letter in the trash can, in this case–and ran with it. It’s no surprise lucas isn’t showing a lot of gratitude.

Chloe: Oh, please. ‘Cause he’s such a noble man? He’s the guy who faked a brain tumor to get me out of town, like, really far out of town, antarctica. He’s not above using questionable methods when it suits him.

Philip: I bet you’re not happy with me either.

Chloe: Sami’s marriage blowing up? She deserves it.

Philip: But nicole, we don’t know that she’s actually lit that match yet.

Chloe: Knowing nicole, she’s going to use that letter exactly as you intended. And I’m not saying that I approve of your very naughty method, but I did see my best friend’s marriage fall apart last night, and I would do anything to help her. Right now, I guess I’ll just have to settle for seeing sami reap the damage that she has sown.

Nicole: Eric came home yesterday to surprise me for our anniversary.

Ava: That’s wonderful.

Nicole: Yes, it was at first. I mean, to–to get to be with him after all those months, we were so happy. And especially when he told me that he was just gonna honor his commitment in africa, and then he was coming home for good.

Ava: So what happened?

Nicole: Eric suggested that we throw a party, you know, spur of the moment, just some family and friends. And it was perfect until xander showed up.

Ava: And I’m guessing he didn’t come to wish you well.

Nicole: He told everyone that he and I slept together, and he enjoyed every minute of it.

Ava: Son of a bitch. I was hoping he’d keep his damn mouth shut.

Rafe: You knew about us?

Ava: Yeah.

Nicole: I confided in ava.

Rafe: Oh.

Ava: I don’t understand. Nicole, I don’t understand why– why would he expose you now after all of this time after you gave him a job?

Nicole: I’m guessing money.

Ava: So sami paid him to blow up your marriage.

Nicole: And it worked too, because eric is on a plane back to africa, and it’s–and it’s over between us.

Ava: What the hell is wrong with sami? What is her problem? I’m sorry. I know that the two of you were married, but where I come from, you don’t just stand back when someone hurts one of your own. Nicole, she’s not gonna get away with this. We’re gonna pay her back.

Nicole: I already did.

Ej: Needless to say, samantha will no longer be living under the dimera roof. Oh, believe me, I wanted to take even more drastic measures. But considering how pathetic she was, it hardly would’ve been satisfying. Harold is packing up her things as we speak. That cheating slut will be gone before dinner.

Lucas: You know I think ej is all wrong for you and that you’d be better off with me. I never meant to cause you pain.

Sami: You keep saying that.

Lucas: When I heard ej got the letter, I was scared. I didn’t know what he would do. I didn’t know how angry he would be. I didn’t know what he would do to you. So I came here, because I wanted to protect you.

Sami: Thank you for that.

Lucas: I’m sorry everything went down the way it did.

Sami: I don’t think you are.

Lucas: Yes, I am. I do. I mean it. You don’t deserve it. You never deserved ej to find out like this.

Sami: Well, one good thing, we certainly made nicole’s day, haven’t we? Maybe her whole year. Maybe her whole decade.

Lucas: I meant what I said before when I told you that if anything ever happened between you and ej that I’d be there for you. Because I love you. I’m sorry that things happened the way they did. I am. But maybe it’s the best. Maybe it’s a sign. Maybe this is our chance. Our chance to finally get back together again. To be a thriver

Ava: So you took kristen’s letter to ej?

Nicole: But before I gave it to him, he was so protective of sami defending her to the hilt. Wouldn’t let me say a bad thing about her even though everything I said was true. But when he read those words out loud from his own sister that sami cheated on him and with lucas, you should’ve seen the look on his face. I actually felt bad for him.

Ava: Please. You did that man a favor. Oh, and you paid back sami hard. Good for you.

Nicole: Yeah. I don’t know how good it is. I still lost eric. And then sami came over here, and she tried to kill me. And if it weren’t for rafe, I–I don’t know what would have happened.

Ava: Well, that’s rafe for you, right? Oh, he’s such a stand-up guy. He’s always–always there for his friends.

Nicole: God, this has been so much about me. Ava, what are you doing here? What’s going on?

Ava: Oh, nope. It does not matter. We can talk about it some other time.

Nicole: Wait, wait, wait, wait, please. Tell me.

Ava: Well, I just–I was hoping that since I’m in the market for a job that maybe you could arrange an interview for me at basic black if you think there’s a position that I might be qualified for.

Nicole: I–I think that’s a great idea.

Ava: Hmm?

Nicole: Yeah.

Ava: Okay. But you know what? That is not for discussion right now. Right now, we need to take care of you. I’m so sorry this is happening, nicole. Why don’t–why don’t you let rafe and i take you out for a dinner? We can get you out of the house. We’ll make a night of it. Just the three of us.

Gabi: Jake, once I put our plan into motion, then victor will have no choice but to toss philip out on his ass. And then the old coot will need to find somebody to right the ship. And who’s gonna be there ready to hit the ground running, ready to do some damage control as the new ceo? Yours truly.

Jake: That’s one answer.

Gabi: That’s–that’s the only answer.

Jake: I don’t know. I’m was thinking that…

Gabi: Thinking what?

Jake: Maybe I could be ceo. Huh?

Philip: Thanks again for not being upset with me for exposing that letter.

Chloe: Well, thank you for telling me the truth. We’ve seen what secrets do to relationships, nicole’s, sami’S.

Philip: There will never be any secrets between us. That I can promise you. And I’m sorry about earlier being a jealous jerk about you going off to help brady.

Chloe: And I’m sorry I didn’t see your text message and join you for that nightcap.

Philip: We can always have a do-over if you’re interested.

Chloe: Mm.

Ej: I owe you a great deal, kristen. If it hadn’t been for that letter, I never would’ve learned the truth about my wife. No. No, there’s no going back, no possibility of forgiveness. Knowing how you feel about her, I thought that would please you. You too. Good night.

Sami: The chain. Is this the necklace that I saw in that vintage shop in tuscany?

Ej: Is it? Who can remember?

Sami: You noticed how much I loved this necklace?

Ej: And how did it end up here?

Sami: How did you get it here?

Ej: I tracked down the shopkeeper, and he was more than happy to ship it. Try it on.

Sami: Oh, you should keep–

Ej: I’ve got it.

Sami: So beautiful. I love it. But–but why?

Ej: Well, it’s the least i could do to thank you.

Sami: Thank me for what?

Ej: For standing by me, caring for me while I recovered. And most of all for giving me the time and space I needed to once again become the husband you deserve.

Lucas: Now that your marriage is over…

Sami: Who said my marriage is over?

Lucas: Ej is packing your things. He wants you to go out of the house. I don’t think he wants to patch things up with you.

Sami: Okay, listen. This is what ej and I do, okay? This is who we are. We’re–we’re passionate people. We fight big, and then we make up, and we don’t quit. I–I don’t quit. You trust me. I will make ej come around.

Ej: Why are you still here?

Sami: He was just leaving.

Lucas: We’re not finished.

Sami: We are definitely finished. Did you wanna talk to me?

Ej: I just wanted you to know that harold has packed your bags into your car. One more thing. You left this in our room, something else from my marriage you’ve discarded.

Ice t, stone cold calling on

everyone

to turn to cold washing with

tide.

Philip: Why don’t we get out of here?

Chloe: I thought you’d never ask.

Lucas: Oh, I’m glad I caught you. Listen, I hate to interrupt, but I need to talk to you.

Philip: Can it wait? We were just about to head home.

Lucas: No, man. It’s important. I’ll only take a couple minutes.

Chloe: It’s okay. I–I’ll just see you at home. Okay?

Philip: Okay. I’ll see you there.

Chloe: Lucas.

Lucas: Chloe, excuse me.

Philip: So what’s going on? Did you get the letter before it went to ej?

Lucas: No, I didn’T. I was too late. Nicole gave it to him, okay? He read it, and he reacted exactly how we thought he was gonna react. He kicked sami out.

Philip: That’s great, right? Now you have your chance to be with her?

Lucas: Not exactly. Sami figured out that you gave the letter to nicole, and she thought I put you up to it.

Philip: I’m sorry about that, bro, but I can fix this.

Lucas: No, you can’T. Philip, you’ve done enough, really.

Philip: No, I’ll make sure sami knows that it was my idea. I’ll make sure that she knows that your hands are clean.

Lucas: You don’t get it, do you? She wants nothing to do with me.

Philip: But she loves you.

Lucas: She loves him more. She’s determined to convince him to forgive her. She doesn’t wanna be with me, man. I don’t stand a chance.

Ej: What are you waiting for?

Sami: Ej…

Ej: Consider it payment for services rendered. Now that you have all your belongings, you can leave.

Sami: I’m not going anywhere.

Ej: It wasn’t a request.

Sami: This isn’t your house anymore, ej. You don’t get to kick me out.

Ej: And you think gabi will let you stay?

Sami: I’m arianna’s grandmother. Gabi and I are friends. I’m pretty sure she’ll let me stay.

Ej: And what are you going to do? Park yourself in a guest room?

Sami: Well, why not? I’ll be happy to stay as long as it takes for you to forgive me.

Ej: You can stay until hell freezes over. It won’t make a difference to me or how I feel about you.

Sami: You say that now, but you love me, ej dimera. I know you do, so I’m gonna go see gabi and make sure she lets me stay ’cause you know what? You can’t get rid of me that easily.

Gabi: You wanna be the ceo at titan?

Jake: Yeah.

Gabi: This whole plan was my idea.

Jake: I know it was, but–all right, look, maybe I should be in the top spot, because after all, I’m the one with ceo experience.

Gabi: I have ceo experience too. I ran my own company.

Jake: I know you did. I–I know, but it’s just that–all right. Titan is a conglomerate like dimera, which I ran.

Gabi: Hello? I ran dimera too.

Jake: I know you did, it’s just–but–

Gabi: What–what could–what “but” could you possibly have about me being ceo of titan? Oh. Oh, no, no, no. Don’t tell me–

Jake: Tell you what?

Gabi: You don’t want me to be your boss.

Jake: No. It’s not that. That would make me a–

Gabi: A disgusting, unevolved, backwards-thinking chauvinistic pig, huh?

Jake: No. Gabi, it’s just that I–

Gabi: It’s just what?

Jake: You’re my girlfriend.

Gabi: What? What does that have to do with me being ceo of titan? Because you didn’t have a problem with kate being your girlfriend, hmm?

Jake: Right. But this time, if you’re a ceo, it’s–

Gabi: What? When I’m ceo?

Jake: Okay, but it just might be a little strange. Okay? You know, working under you.

Philip: I should have left well enough alone, never given nicole that letter.

Lucas: No, don’t worry about it. It’s just–I guess a part of me hoped that if he read the letter he would react the way he did and then sami would see him for who he really is, and she’d choose me. But she didn’T. She wants to be with that bastard.

Philip: She’s making a big mistake passing up a man who loves her the way you do.

Lucas: Thanks, man. I appreciate it.

Philip: Come on. I’ll walk you out.

Trelegy for copd.

Nicole: Thank you, ava. That’s–that’s very sweet of you, but honestly, I don’t really have an appetite, and I’d really like to just be alone now.

Rafe: Are you sure? Are you sure you’re gonna be okay?

Ava: No, we–we totally understand; you need your space.

Nicole: Thanks. And–and thank you, rafe, for–for everything you’ve done. I don’t know what I would’ve done if you weren’t here.

Rafe: Oh, of course. You know that I’m always here for you, right? And if you need anything, I am just–just a phone call away.

Nicole: That’s so rafe to feel sorry for people.

Ava: Oh, my god. You were so condescending.

Nicole: No, it’s just that he–he tries to help people who are trying to make big changes. He has a sir galahad kind of history.

Ava: Well, thank you. Thank you for the rafe 101. But I also know rafe. And he could have helped me by loaning me the deposit for an apartment, but he didn’T. He asked me to stay here. And he asked me to stay, because he likes me.

Nicole: He asked you to stay, because he’s alone. And that’s no reason to start a relationship.

Ava: Now I see why rafe kissing me is so objectionable for you. You want him for yourself.

Nicole: [Scoffs]

Ava: Look, when–when you and I started to get close, nicole didn’t think it was a very good idea. And I got the feeling that she was being a bit possessive of you. Maybe jealous even.

Rafe: Well, maybe because we were happy and she wasn’t with eric.

Ava: All right. Well, back then, I kind of thought that maybe she–she had feelings for you. Now I’m starting to think that maybe it’s the other way around.

Jake: I think you know I have zero problem working under you.

Gabi: Except with your clothes on.

Jake: Come on.

Gabi: Oh, seriously. Is–is this gonna be a problem?

Jake: Hey, why don’t we discuss this under the covers?

Gabi: No, no, no, no, no, no. That is not an answer.

Jake: Look, come on. Think of it as research, right? And we could explore both sides of the issue, hmm?

Gabi: Oh, I guess we’d have to be very thorough.

Jake: Oh, I plan to be.

Gabi: I mean, I’m willing to put in the time if you are.

Jake: Yeah? Lead the way. How about I start out on top this time?

Gabi: Not a chance.

Jake: Oh, come on.

Ej: You don’t have to say it, father. Samantha made a damn fool out of me. Not to worry, though. No one humiliates ej dimera. I promise you. She won’t get away with it.

Sami: I’m gonna get you back, ej. Gabi? Is anyone home?

Sheila: You married my son. I’m your mother-in-law, steffy.

Steffy: This can’t be true.

Sheila: Well, it is. I gave birth to finn. You married my son. We’re family now.

Eric: Finn joined our family today, sheila, not you.

Sheila: But it’s my blood running through his veins, and your son’S.

Brooke: It’s a lie, it’s a convoluted lie.

Sheila: Didn’t he already confirm it?

Ridge: Confirm what? That you approached him when finn was a baby, what does that prove?

Sheila: What do I have to gain by lying here, ridge?

Brooke: Who knows? You’re always involved in some kind of scheme.

Sheila: A scheme? A scheme about a child that was born years ago? A child I had no way of knowing would ever come in contact with you or your family, brooke? You’re delusional. You think this is some sort of a long-term con, is that what you’re thinking? Look, I know that this is a shock, but I am telling the truth. I got to meet my son today. And, I gained a daughter.

Katie: Hey. Hey, hey, hey, isn’t this your reject pile?

Donna: Yeah?

Katie: Well, then what is this doing in it? I mean, look how hot you look in that bathing suit, and it’s one of your favorite suits. I mean, I’m just saying, if you’re trying to make eric feel better.

Donna: Oh, okay, alright, I like your thinking. Oh. Wait. I don’t know, should I reconsider this? I mean, eric looks so cute. So happy.

Katie: Well, that’s probably because he was unaware of all the hell that sheila was about to cause. Mm, it is a good picture, if you cut her out of it.

Donna: Oh, okay.

Katie: I think it’s so wonderful what you’re doing for him.

Donna: Oh well, you know, after what quinn put him through, he deserves a little cheering up.

Katie: Still, you’ve always been so sweet and affectionate with each other, even years after your divorce. Not every ex-wife would be so kind.

Donna: Wow, that was almost cathartic.

Katie: Cutting sheila out?

Donna: Yeah, felt pretty good. Wanna give it a try?

Katie: Yep. If only it was as easy to cut shiela out of eric’s life back then.

Brooke: I don’t understand how any of this can be possible.

Sheila: What’s not to understand? I had a child I couldn’t raise, so I–

Ridge: A son who just happened to grow up and marry my daughter? There’s more to this. You never met this woman before, is that what you’re saying?

Finn: No, no, not until today. I fantasized about meeting her.

Ridge: And then, I’m sorry, she just showed up in the guest house, and congratulated you?

Eric: And so, you were sneaking around the property, waiting for an opportunity to–

Sheila: To avoid all of this, yes. I didn’t want to make a scene. I just wanted a private moment to finally meet my son. To tell him how proud I was of him, how happy.

Li: Ambushing him on his wedding day?

Sheila: I did not ambush him. I said hello. It was a lovely moment.

Ridge: It sounds like a lovely moment, and then you what, you decided to walk in here with this ridiculous lie?

Sheila: It wasn’t a lie. I had no intention of interrupting. Finn convinced me.

Brooke: You manipulated him. You got him excited to introduce his mother to us.

Steffy: Which you’re not. You can’t be.

Ridge: So, she came to you when finn was a baby, is that right?

Jack: She did.

Li: And you didn’t think I should know?

Jack: Of course, I did. I just thought I made it clear to her to stay away and let us raise him.

Li: You still should have told me, especially if you were suspicious of her.

Jack: You were dealing with so much. We had a newborn, putting in extra hours at the hospital, I didn’t want you stressed. I didn’t want to put that burden on you.

Ridge: And you’re positive this is her?

Jack: Yes.

Ridge: Yes? So, you knew? You knew that this lunatic, who’s obviously obsessed with my family, is finn’s birth mother, and you said nothing?

Jack: Ridge, I’ve been living with this for a long time, and I prayed that she would never show up, because I knew she wasn’t well. But, understand this. I was aware that there’s a connection to your family, I was aware there was some bad blood, but I never, never knew the full extent of it.

Ridge: You’re about to hear the full extent of it, because I’m gonna tell ya every single detail about sheila carter.

Ever notice how stiff clothes can feel rough on your skin?

Donna: That should do it.

Katie: You’ve gone through all of them?

Donna: Yep, yep, I think I have plenty to work with, and plenty to throw away.

Katie: Oh, yeah. You are tossing these out, that is for sure.

Donna: Yeah, or maybe burning them. Let’s face it, do you know anyone who would have use for this one? I didn’t think so.

Ridge: Well, the first thing you should know, no, the first thing you should know is that this woman should be in prison.

Sheila: Well, I served my time.

Eric: I think, maybe not enough.

Li: Because of what she did to your family?

Brooke: Yes. Lies and manipulations. Shootings.

Jack: What?

Ridge: You sound surprised. Are you surprised, or did you know sheila was coming today?

Jack: No.

Ridge: No? Jack, I want to trust you. Really, li, I want to trust you too, but more than anything, I want to trust you. So tell me right now, tell me you weren’t using my daughter.

Finn: No! Never, this is the first time I’ve laid eyes on her.

Li: My son’s telling you the truth. We’ve never known anything about his birth mother. Well, finn and I never have.

Ridge: Oh, don’t do that. No, he was protecting you, he just said. Or, maybe he was protecting sheila. Did you know about this from the very beginning?

Jack: No.

Ridge: No? So, this is just a coincidence, this one showing up at my daughter’s wedding? You didn’t know anything about it?

Jack: I just said–

Ridge: What about you, I asked you once, I’m gonna ask you one more time, son. Did you use my daughter, did you plan this?

Steffy: Finn, answer him. Tell me you’re not involved.

Finn: As much as I wanted to know her, what she looked like, and if she ever thought about me, no, I knew nothing. Nothing at all.

Erc: Well, you might have been better off if you hadn’t learnt, you know. Now, you want to know all about her, don’t you? The woman who gave birth to you, who gave you life? Who gave you away? Alright, it’s time you know. It’s time you did know the history, the dark and sordid history of ms. Sheila carter here.

Katie: Oh. Hey, hey why is this in the throwaway pile?

Donna: Uh, look at me. My eyes are closed.

Katie: Yeah, but look at me, I look so cute. Look at my hair, and I love that dress.

Donna: Okay fine, keep it, but I better not see you posting it on social media. As for the rest of these, ugh. Good riddance… to bad memories.

Katie: Hopefully, that’s all sheila will ever be to us, just a bad memory.

Hope: Things are getting pretty intense. We should go upstairs and get the girls.

Liam: Yeah, I think that’s probably a good call. Hey, hey guys, we’re gonna take beth and kelly home, I think.

Hope: Yeah.

Thomas: Yeah, that’s a great idea. Actually, I’ll grab hayes.& I’ll look after him until this is all done.

Steffy: Yeah, thank you.

Eric: Thank you.

Sheila: Wait a minute. Hayes, hayes is in the house? My grandson is here?

Steffy: No don’t, don’t you dare say his name.

Sheila: Steffy, I would really just love to see him once, please? Before, before thomas takes him.

Steffy: No, you’re never going to do that. Could you please go down the back stairs? Please?

Eric: You think that’s an overreaction? Not letting her see the baby? Because, it’s not. My grandson there, thomas, going up the stairs? He wouldn’t be here in this world, if she had had her way. He would have died an infant.

Sheila: Oh my gosh. You took that seriously? That threat? I never would have harmed him.

Ridge: Of course, you would have. That’s how much you hated my mother.

Sheila: It’s the way she treated me, not that any of you held stephanie accountable for any–

Eric: Don’t say her name, don’t do that. You tried to kill her, you tried to drown her, you shot her. You poisoned her, you left her for dead. She tried to kill steffy’s grandmother.

Li: My god.

Finn: Did you do all that? Did you do that to steffy’s grandmother?

Sheila: It’s gonna be hard to understand. They’re gonna try to paint me out to be some sort of a, an evil, horrible person, and you know what? Maybe, at one point in my life, I was, but I’m not–

Brooke: Maybe?

Sheila: Look at the way that you all treated me. Stephanie, especially, she hated me. She hated that eric married me.

Eric: I did. I’m the one who brought her into our lives. I saw goodness in you. I thought I did. We loved each other, didn’t we? I know you loved me, in your own way, but that’s, it’s toxic, it’s very strange. You’re sick, sheila. You’re… sick.

Ridge: I’m so, um.

Finn: I’m trying to, wrap my head around all this.

Brooke: Don’t try to understand, finn. You’ll never be able to. The terror and the crimes, and the way she attacked our family members over and over again–

Finn: I hear you, brooke, okay? I do, but she’s been to prison. Maybe, she’s changed, and she’s been able to turn over a new–

Steffy: No, no, no. You don’t understand. You have no idea what this woman has taken from me. No idea.

Finn: What, what did? What did she take?

Steffy: The worst crime, the worst thing you’ve ever done to me, to me, to thomas, to phoebe.

Finn: What?

Steffy: She took my mom away. Not only did she pull a gun out on my grandmother, she shot my mom. She shot her right here, and I thought she was dead. I thought sheila killed my mom.

Finn: You’re saying that my birth mother my birth mother tried to kill your mother?

Steffy: Yes. Do you struggle with occasional nerve aches,

Finn: You tried to kill steffy’s mother?

Sheila: It sounds bad, I know, but–

Steffy: It sounds bad? I lost time with my mom, because you brought a gun here.

Sheila: I told you how sorry I was about that, but it’s really not fair for you to say that I tried to kill her. I never wanted to hurt taylor. She came into the room and she started interfering.

Eric: Don’t you dare try to blame taylor for this.

Sheila: If she hadn’t tried& to grab that gun, eric, none of it would have happened.

Brooke: She did that because you were pointing it at me. She tried to stop you. Sheila shot us both that night. I walked in, didn’t know she was there, and you tried to warn me.

Eric: Yeah, I did.

[ Thunder rumbling ]

[ Gunshot firing ]

Steffy: I didn’t see my mother for years, and it was because of you, sheila.

Brooke: She was obsessed with this family. Desperate to be a part of it. Now, she is.

Steffy: No, she’s not. Whether you’re finn’s mom or not, you’re never going to part of this. Not ever.

Finn: She is. She’s my birth mother.

Jack: No. Your mother’s right here, finn. We raised you, we’re your parents.

Sheila: And you did an amazing job, because I have one amazing son, but you wouldn’t have a son if it weren’t for me. I’m the one that carried him in my womb. I am the one that nursed him. I am the one that gave him life, and that is a bond that you will never break. We will always have a connection. The two of us, and hayes.

Steffy: Your blood is in hayes. I can’T. No, no, I’m not gonna accept that, no. No, I am not.

Sheila: Look, I didn’t want to cause trouble. I just wanted to come here and see my son on his wedding day.

Steffy: Bull. I know exactly what you were doing. You didn’t come here for finn. You don’t care about finn. You’re here just to create chaos, and you think you did it. But, you didn’T. Didn’t affect us. You’re not going to spoil my marriage. You’re not going to spoil my wedding. You will never be part of my family, do you hear that? Do you hear that? I never want to see your face again.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Sirens wailing ]

Whoa, s– whoa, whoa.

Sorry, doc. Sorry for —

no, that’s my bad. I wasn’t watching where I was going.

Focused on your work?

Uh, yeah. Just wrapping some things up.

The peter august investigation, I imagine.

Yeah. Uh… going over the forensics in the subbasement again, trying to figure out what happened to peter and how he left a trail of blood and where he went.

Well, then, I, uh — I won’t keep you.

Actually, you know what?

Since I got you here, uh, there might be something about peter’s disappearance that maybe you can shed some light on.

Ms. Dreyfus? Naomi?

You think she left?

I’m pretty sure that was her car in the lot.

It’s unlocked. I’ll apologize if she’s in here.

Oh, my god.

Spencer, I have a confession to make.

Okay.

You know cam and joss are my friends, and when they told me all that stuff about you, I guess I was trying to defend them, and you were here, and you were kind of passed out, so I —

oh, father. You startled me. Nerves?

No, I just don’t like being snuck up on.

Well, I’d hardly call it “sneaking.”

Uh, father, you know trina.

Yeah, of course. How are you, trina?

Good. And you, mr. Cassadine?

You know better than that. Call me nikolas. I need to make a phone call.

Is everything okay?

Yeah, and thanks for the advice.

Like I said, anytime.

Catching some sun?

Trying to.

What do you have there?

You tell me. Or don’t you recognize the letter that ryan chamberlain sent you?

You’ve left us incredibly exposed! I hope you realize that.

[ Sighs ] Yes, I’ll let them know.

Well… oh. Didn’t sound very good. What’s going on?

[ Sighs ] We have trouble, with a capital “T.” And you know who that stands for.

[ Sighs ] God, what did tracy do now?

[ Insects chirping ]

[ Sighs ] When you were forced to perpetrate a situation that you knew wasn’t cool, I’M… I’m guessing that it wasn’t easy. That it cost you something to keep it going.

You would be correct.

And I’m also guessing that you did the best that you could at the time.

Yeah, pretty much.

Well, then, you know what willow and I are going through.

[ Sighs ]

Well, how is your first day of shadowing going, nurse chase?

Oh, I am far from being a nurse. I have so much to learn. And it’s student nurse tait.

Oh, I’m sorry. I just thought since you had taken michael’s last name, that you would take chase’s, since he’s your husband.

As soon as I am done here, I am telling willow it’s over. I will be out of the picture, and michael and willow can finally live happily ever after.

Okay. Yeah. That’s definitely one way to go.

You’ve got another option?

I do, chase. Why settle for a graceful exit when you can make one with lasting impact?

Chase, I think it’s your nature. I think it’s your inclination to be kind and gentle to both michael and willow. But they’ve treated you like dirt. Your wife and your best friend are screwing each other.

Come on, it’s — it’s a complicated situation. I’m sure willow felt obligated to marry me. E-everybody thought that I was gonna die. She thought she was doing the right thing.

Maybe. And that does make sense of what’s happened in the past, but it doesn’t jibe with what’s happening now. Michael and willow are clearly still attracted to each other. They can’t keep their hands off of each other.

[ Scoffs ] Don’t remind me.

I think I need to remind you, chase. Because your health crisis is over. You’ve been released from the hospital, and they’ve had every opportunity to be honest with you. And yet, they’ve kept you in the dark. Doesn’t that piss you off? Don’t you think you deserve better?

When I enrolled in nursing school, I did it as willow tait, so it just seemed simpler not to change it.

Okay.

I’m in the process of showing her the ropes. This semester, she’s gonna get some hands-on training at the hospital.

Well, I’m sure she’ll be up to the challenge.

I hope so. I’m really looking forward to interacting more with patients and getting some practical experience.

Oh, we’ll find plenty for you to do.

[ Laughter ] I’m trying not to be nervous about that.

[ Cellphone dings ]

Oh, e-excuse me. Oh, no. What fresh hell?

Is something wrong?

Uh, I’ve got a text from ned.

Look, willow seems awesome, okay? But she’s not family, so I don’t get to judge her. You, on the other hand, are not only family, but you’re probably the most principled quartermaine since lila, so I hold you to a higher standard. So when you admit to me that there is, in fact, a you and willow, I can’t help but wonder, where does that leave chase?

[ Door opens ]

Family meeting! We could be looking at a major crisis.

There’s no pulse. Her body’s cold. I don’t see any blood or wounds. No obvious sign of a struggle.

W-we have to call this in.

Look, better let me make the call. I’ll wait around for the cops. You head out.

And just leave you here to deal with it? You’re on parole, remember?

Yes, but I didn’t kill naomi dreyfus.

I know that, but if you dial 911, we don’t know who they’re gonna send — some by-the-book cop who can charge you with a parole violation.

Come on. Okay. Alright. I-I won’t call 911. I’ll call someone I trust.

Hey, I don’t know how much help I could be.

I… well, I was — I don’t know, I was trying to figure out how you and anna ended up in the subbasement in the first place.

Mm-hmm.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Oh, sorry. Mm. Um, sorry. I gotta take this. Of course. Yeah. Sam, what’s up?

Um, shawn butler and i are at the woodbridge motel, and we found hayden barnes’ mother.

Okay, and?

And she’s dead.

You’re saying that’s a letter to me?

[ Scoffs ]

From ryan chamberlain. Don’t insult my intelligence and deny it.

Okay, fine. I know about the letter. Where did you find it?

I was visiting your aunt alexis at the minimum-security facility when I discovered that ryan chamberlain is also an inmate, and I found this among his possessions.

And they let you just go through his things?

Stop deflecting, and you tell me why you were corresponding with this maniac.

I didn’T. I got one letter from the guy, and then I thought that it was probably trouble, so I didn’t even bother to open it. I sent it back, return to sender. But apparently, you thought to read it. So, what’s it say?

It was complimentary toward you.

[ Laughs ] A serial killer is complimenting me? How random and creepy is that?

It looked to me like he was trying to get on your good side and hopefully recruit you as an ally.

Well, then, I’m glad that I didn’t open it.

Ryan chamberlain is obsessed with my wife and your stepmother.

Yes, I figured that this had something to do with his warped connection to ava.

Spencer! You are missing the point. The man that killed ava’s daughter reached out to you, and you said nothing. I want to know why not.

It’s unconscionable that you wouldn’t warn me that ryan chamberlain sent you a letter, whether you opened it or not.

You’re blowing this way out of proportion.

You were in contact with your grandmother. You knew that ava was being stalked. And it wasn’t just ava. Avery was being threatened, too. And meanwhile, you get a letter from a serial killer, and you don’t think it’s worth mentioning?

Not really.

Why the hell not?!

Because I know damn well that ryan chamberlain isn’t the one who’s been threatening ava all this time.

[ Police radio chatter ]

Sam, it’s dante.

Sam: Door’s open! Hey. Hey.

Wow, you’re really pushing the limits of the last few months of your parole, huh?

I tried to tell her I can handle this on my own.

A woman is dead. I’m not just gonna walk away.

Can you guys sweep the place, dust for prints? What happened?

When we knocked on the door, no one responded. The door was unlocked. We came in, found naomi lying on the floor. I checked for a pulse. Her body was cold.

Dante!

Finn, you should wait in the car.

I thought I could help.

Finn. Finn, there’s nothing you can do. She’s been dead for a while.

Okay, about this sos. How big, how embarrassing, and how much is it gonna cost us to get out of it?

Ned: Monica, you should have a seat.

That bad? Oh, my god.

Can someone just spit it out? What happened?

In a word, tracy.

Oh, my god.

Yeah. I talked to her earlier to keep her in the loop now that austin is in the picture.

Wait, hold on. I-I-I don’t understand. I thought that tracy never wanted to hear the letters e, l, q again?

Yeah, well, that doesn’t mean she wants someone else to have their hands on the family company.

Well, I doubt granny was shocked by the arrival of another q interloper.

She was expecting this. And that could prove to be a real problem for the rest of us.

Your wife, who you’re clearly head over heels in love with, is having an affair with your best buddy. I think you have every right to your outrage.

I am mad at the situation, but willow has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known. If I had any clue that she didn’t want to marry me, that she wasn’t just as excited as I was, I wouldn’t have boxed her into this.

Willow’s a grown woman. She could have chosen to tell you the truth at any point since you left the hospital.

I put her in a horrible situation… and she doesn’t deserve the anger that I am feeling.

Alright. Then let’s just talk about michael. The man who you consider to be your best friend. You didn’t box him in with a proposal. And when you leave the hospital, he offers you a chance to stay at the quartermaine mansion, the big house. Seemingly a generous offer, but is it really? Because if he knows that you’re there, then he can still sneak down to the gatehouse to screw your wife, and you can’t do anything about it because you can’t go down there on your own because you’re in a wheelchair.

Okay, that is enough.

Michael betrayed you. Isn’t it time for some payback?

Why does any of this matter to you?

I hope everything’s okay.

The text was from ned, so I’m pretty sure it’s elq related.

You ever get tired of hearing those initials?

Yes and no. The company is really important to the quartermaines, including michael. It’s wiley’s legacy. But aside from that, it doesn’t directly concern me, so I’m trying to stay focused on my studies here.

Felix: You’d better. People are expecting great things out of you.

But no pressure.

Of course there’s pressure.

That’s the job. You’re not doing willow any favors by pretending otherwise.

Are you channeling epiphany?

Well, epiphany is on a well-earned vacation in cabo. Someone’s gotta keep up her standards. I’m curious to see what the G.H. Nursing school has been teaching you.

[ Sighs ] Okay, let’s see. If a patient wants to check out early against the doctor’s orders, what’s the role of the nurse?

To acknowledge the patient’s concerns and calm them down by giving them definitive markers they can focus on.

Mm-hmm. Such as?

If a patient’s oxygen level is too low, you can tell them, “once your oxygen level has maintained itself at 95% for four hours,” then they would be a candidate to be released from the hospital.

This is where you admit willow knows her stuff.

[ Laughs ] So far, so good. But if you think I’m tough, wait till epiphany gets back.

Ugh, I still have nightmares about the way she used to grill me. But, in retrospect, it was for my own good, and it made me a better nurse.

Well, I promise to keep learning. And while I can’t promise to impress epiphany, I will do everything in my power to become an asset to the hospital.

Good to know. Let’s start with something basic. Call up the chart on the patient in room 1015. We’ll walk you through how to sync up any prescription updates the nps might have made.

I’m on it. She is so green.

I know. But so eager to learn.

Mm. I was like that.

So was I.

Can you guys tell me what happened from the beginning?

Well, shawn asked me to help him investigate hayden barnes’ shooting from several years ago.

Wait a minute. D-didn’t you admit to shooting hayden?

Shawn: It was a mistake.

Hayden herself told me someone else was responsible, but she wouldn’t tell me who. I, um — I found out that naomi, hayden’s mother, was in town. I thought maybe she could get us in touch with hayden.

Did she?

No. But she did go on this tirade about how she thought that hayden was a horrible mother and didn’t want to have any sort of a relationship with violet.

That does– that doesn’t sound right.

No, hayden was heartbroken when she had to say goodbye to violet.

Well, it seemed strange to us, too. So, you know, we decided to come back and talk to her some more, but when we got here…

[ Sighs ] …We found her on the floor like this.

Detective falconeri.

Yeah?

We found this in the bathroom.

Thank you. Whoa. This is a pretty recent prescription. We could be looking at a suicide here.

Finn: No. No way. [ Stammers ] We made plans earlier today with naomi for her to spend some more time with her granddaughter.

Alright?

If she was thinking about ending her life, there’s no way she promises violet she’s gonna see her again.

No, somebody did this to her.

How can you be so certain who has or who has not been stalking and threatening my wife and our family?

I just know that ryan has been — what do they call it? — Locked inside his own body for almost a year now. So, when I heard about the cockroach, it didn’t even cross my mind to connect ryan to it because he’s been completely incapacitated. So, when I got the letter from him, I sent it back without even thinking twice. I have never made a secret of my feelings towards ava. She could have testified against valentin when he shot you. But instead, she opted to have her face repaired. She sold out. All I ever did was suggest that you could do better. And suddenly, that translates to me being in league with ryan chamberlain?

Uh, sorry, I just forgot my… is this a bad time?

No, uh, please don’t leave, trina. Uh, spencer and I were just having a misunderstanding. I’m sorry that I jumped to conclusions, son.

Apology accepted. I know this stalker business has you on edge.

No, no, no, it’s no excuse. You two should — you two should have fun. I’ll see you at home, spencer.

[ Water splashing ]

Okay, what was that about?

Chase, full disclosure, I am in the middle of a financial dispute with the quartermaine family.

So, you’re saying you were cut off from the family fortune, and now you’re throwing a tantrum as a result?

That’s one interpretation of the situation, and not a very charitable one. And I’m surprised, chase. I would think you, of all people, would know where I’m coming from. Why me, of all people?

[ Sighs ] Because, chase, michael and willow are cheating on you, and the entire quartermaine family’s trying to cheat me out of my rightful inheritance.

So, you and scott baldwin are gonna take them to court over a will that has already been probated. Good luck with that.

I have it on good authority that there is something in the quartermaine mansion that, if found… could change the outcome of my lawsuit to my favor.

Just tell us, ned. What did tracy do now?

As a reminder, during grandfather’s final months, he gave up medicine he needed to live so that emma drake could have it, and it indeed saved her life. Well, the experience must have softened his perspective, because he began corresponding with jimmy lee holt again.

What, grandfather was on speaking terms with jimmy lee before he died?

Yes, and he apparently expressed real regret for cutting jimmy lee out of his will.

Wait, I don’t understand. How would granny know all that?

Olivia: Oh, come on, brook lynn. I’ll give you three guesses. The first two don’t count.

Jimmy lee didn’t know that grandfather’s health had taken a turn for the worse before thanksgiving because my mother started intercepting jimmy lee’s letters. And apparently, she wasn’t very happy to learn that he and grandfather might be reconciling. Well, it was all for nothing for tracy, because she got cut out of the will.

Wait, hold on. So, you’re saying that tracy might have prevented edward from changing his will to add jimmy lee to it?

There’s nothing specific in the letters. But if grandfather had left a record somewhere intending to change the will in jimmy lee’s favor, well, that might just give austin’s case a leg to stand on.

So, jimmy lee and edward were in the process of patching things up?

Yes, and as soon as edward mentioned that he was reconsidering disinheriting my father, the letters stopped, and my father’s theory was that the quartermaines swooped in and put an end to it as soon as edward got sick.

Why didn’t jimmy lee take on the family?

I don’t know. My father was a very proud man. But now that he’s passed, I think it’s my duty to try and settle the score.

I mean, it’s an interesting theory, but it’s all just conjecture. I’ve testified at enough criminal cases to know that you need evidence to make a case stick.

So how are you gonna prove any of this?

Edward’s papers are still in his study. His family left the room exactly the way he left it.

And you know this how?

Because when I was at the party, I poked around, and I got as far as the door to edward’s study. And I opened it, and I was about to go in when a housekeeper showed up and escorted me back downstairs.

And if you made it into the study, what did you expect to find?

Well, if edward was reconsidering his will and he contacted a lawyer, there’d be a record of it. Or, better yet, some handwritten notes.

I’m sorry — what does any of this have to do with me?

Well, you live at the quartermaine mansion. You can go to edward’s study any time you want.

You want me to do your dirty work.

No. I want you to uncover the truth. I want you to use your proximity to the family to help me claim what’s rightfully mine.

The current distribution of elq voting shares could be contested should this come to light.

Well, austin obviously knows about this, or he never would have filed a lawsuit. So [Sighs] What’s the plan, dad? I assume you want us to all prepare for a fight.

Actually… I’m not sure what the right thing is here.

Excuse me?

Well, just putting the company aside for just a moment, my mother may have interfered with grandfather’s final wishes. And if that’s the case, austin’s father, jimmy lee holt, may have been denied what was rightfully his.

Well, maybe granny felt like edward wasn’t mentally all there in the end. Or maybe she anticipated a big inheritance and didn’t want to share it.

If we deny austin his rightful share… aren’t we just as bad as tracy?

You want to bow out of your marriage, chase, go right ahead, but maybe don’t go gently into that good night without at least first settling the score.

Just stop, okay? I know you’re trying to get in my head to mess with me.

I think michael and willow are the people who’ve been messing with your head, but you call it like you see it.

I am calling it like I see it, and I think you’re trying to take advantage of my anger to get what you want.

Chase, I’m not in the habit of using anyone. I’m not. I’m just being direct with you. I think our situations are — are crisscrossing in a way that — that we could help one another.

Help one another?! [ Scoffs ] Okay. Me betraying the quartermaines, that helps you. It does nothing for my marriage. One thing isn’t related to the other.

I think you’re wrong about that. I think our situations are exactly similar. Michael and willow are cheating on you, and I’m being cheated out of my inheritance. Because that’s what the quartermaines do. They stab people in the back. They take and they take from little guys like us because they can’t even imagine a reality where the quartermaines don’t get everything.

[ Water splashes ]

So, things are still awkward with your dad?

Yeah, um… I was pretty vocal about my feelings towards ava back in the day. And even though I’m sympathetic to their current situation, there’s still a lot of tension. Which is why my father can never know that I was here before I announced my return to him. Given everything that’s going on, that’s one more thing that he doesn’t need to know about.

Keep that tab open for my son and his friend. Spencer returned this letter before ava received the cockroach. When I heard about the cockroach, it didn’t even cross my mind to connect ryan to it because he’s been completely incapacitated. So, when I got the letter from him, I sent it back without even thinking twice. Thanks.

Look, finn, let’s not jump to conclusions, okay? We can’t rule out the possibility of an accidental overdose. We gotta get a toxicology report back.

You can’t be suggesting she accidentally took a whole bottle of pills.

Well, no, I’m suggesting we don’t know how many pills were in that bottle — 3 or 30. We don’t know what’s in her system. And if she was excited about her plans with her granddaughter…

I-I-I gotta…find a way to be able to explain this to violet somehow.

Dante: Alright, look, finn, you go. We’ll get naomi back to G.H.

Okay, thank you. I — I appreciate it.

Yeah. I think dr. Finn was right on the money. I think naomi was murdered.

Okay, uh, naomi was murdered. How do we get there?

Where do you want us to start?

You guys said you left naomi, and then you came back to talk to her about something. What was that?

The name “abigail.”

Who’s abigail?

When naomi tried to convince us that hayden had no interest in being violet’s mother, she referred to hayden’s middle name as “abigail.” I called elizabeth, and she confirmed that that is not hayden’s middle name.

Huh.

I mean, dante, seriously. We’re all parents. You don’t get your kid’s middle name wrong. Even in the heat of the moment, would you ever mistake rocco’s middle name?

No. You’re right.

The, uh, middle name was definitely the oddest part. But the way hayden’s mother spoke about hayden and the not wanting a relationship with violet, it just didn’t track with what we had already heard. Yeah, we — we talked it over. I-it felt like naomi was trying to give us clues to circle back and check with her. And the only way that makes sense is if…

someone was watching her.

When I see how hard willow is working, it makes me think about my nursing school days.

Yeah, me, too. I remember it like it was yesterday.

[ Both laugh ]

Isn’t it funny how, over the years, we learn more from our mistakes than our successes?

Well, you know a control freak like me doesn’t like to make mistakes.

[ Laughs ] Which is why we don’t make the same mistakes twice.

Sometimes, I actually can’t believe we’ve made it this far. And now we’re in a position to help out newcomers like willow.

Mm-hmm. She’s gonna make one hell of a good nurse.

[ Elevator bell dings ]

Yeah, she is. Finn.

Huh?

Oh, you don’t look so great. What’s wrong?

It’s naomi. She’s dead.

Trina: You don’t have to throw a party for me, spencer.

True. I don’t have to do anything. I choose to extend myself to make a social event that might even be worthy of you.

Oh, please.

The more you doubt me, the more it inspires me to make it an unforgettable evening.

Hello, again. Spencer, I need a word.

Uh, again? Is everything okay?

Yeah, everything’s fine. I just got off the phone with the board of cassadine industries. Some negotiations have stalled in dubai. It could have a significant impact on our bottom line. Normally, I would just teleconference in, but I think, this time, going in person will help move things along.

You’re leaving the country?

Only for a few days. I was thinking about asking my mother if you could stay with her and kevin.

Father, I toured europe by myself. I don’t need a babysitter.

Okay. Well, with the exception of the staff, you’ll have all of wyndemere to yourself.

Chase, you’re a police officer, right? So, in your work, you — you put aside your personal emotions and you examine the evidence, right? So, consider this, detective chase — these are the facts. Your best friend in the whole world slept with your lawfully wedded wife. Shouldn’t there be consequences? Does michael get away with it? Does he play by different rules just because he’s a corinthos and a quartermaine? Don’t let him do that. Don’t let him get away with the company and the woman that you love.

I should go.

[ Sniffs ]

[ Sighs ]

Countin’ on you, chase. You in?

Now, that is really sweet of you to consider your grandfather’s wishes. And very un-quartermaine — no offense. Look, the way tracy described it is that edward only regretted cutting jimmy lee out of the will. Did she ever say that he was going to revise the will and include jimmy lee?

Nope, not that she knew about.

Okay, then we know nothing for sure. Because if jimmy lee had pressured edward, he would have gone and told him to pound sand. He spent decades disowning that man, and he had absolutely no use for his mother.

Well, then, the fact is, we can’t presume what grandfather’s wishes would have been. We can only go by that last will.

Well, I-I agree with you, brook lynn. I mean, don’t get me wrong — I’m sympathetic to a point, but it’s a — it’s a big step for austin to assume he would have inherited anything, let alone elq voting stock.

So, then, we are in agreement to maintain the current game plan.

Which is what?

Try to strike a deal with austin. Buy him out with one lump sum.

[ Sighs ] Okay, yeah. That, uh — that works for me.

Yeah. Me, too.

And if we don’t accept austin into the q family fold, maybe he’ll quit G.H. And go be a country doctor again far away from port charles.

Okay, I’ll get the ball rolling.

Great.

Hang on a minute. You never answered my question.

Look, this is clearly not a good time. Can you just please let this go?

Excuse me? Have you met me? Of course I’m not gonna let it go. So, tell me the truth — is there a “you and willow”? And if so, where does that leave chase?

Chase, hi. I didn’t realize you’d still be here. Is everything okay?

Actually, no. No, it’s not.

Chase, what’s wrong?

This is not your shirt.

No, it’s michael’S. Where you going?

Where do you think? I have to see it with my own eyes. I gotta know.

Chase, you look like you’re a million miles away right now. What’s going on?

[ Sighs ] Um… I w– I was just thinking about physical therapy. I was hoping I could take a few steps today, and I couldn’T. Don’t know how much longer I’m gonna be stuck in this chair.

Well, keep at it. I have faith in you. Uh, I have to report back to felix, but I’ll see you later at home, okay?

You sure will.

[ Sighs ] I know this is none of my business, but, um, chase is my friend.

Okay, okay, look. All I can tell you is that willow and i are trying to do the best we can by chase.

[ Bailey crying ]

That’s bailey. I should go.

[ Sighs ] Sorry about the interruption. I just had to get this email out.

What? What? You were willing to put the family legacy in jeopardy because it was the right thing to do. Now, was — was that just putting on a show for my benefit, or — or was that genuine?

What can I say? After all this time… you still remind me that I’m not just edward’s grandson. I’m also lila’S. I know I have a lot more work to do before I become the man who’s worthy to be your husband again… but I’m going to keep trying.

Good. I’m glad.

On second thought… why don’t you come with me on the trip?

Father, you just said it yourself — the staff is gonna be there. It’s not like I’m gonna be at wyndemere alone. And I’m not afraid of whoever’s been targeting ava. They’re not after me.

No, I don’t imagine they are. See you in a few days. Trina, it’s good to see you.

You, too. And have a good trip. What?

Didn’t you just hear him? He’s gonna be out of the country for a few days. It’s the perfect time to throw that party!

Yeah, book a room for me in port charles. Let’s make sure spencer’s party teaches him a lesson he’ll never forget.

They have found naomi in her motel room. It — it looks like foul play was involved.

Oh, my god.

Felix: Elizabeth, I’m so sorry. Uh, why don’t you take a few minutes to process? I’ll have willow shadow me.

Okay, yeah. Thank you.

Felix: Okay.

I don’t understand. I mean, we just saw her.

I know.

You know, sam called me earlier wanting to know hayden’s middle name. It must be connected.

Well, we need to tell hayden.

Yeah. Not that anybody knows where she is.

You know, right now, I need to focus on, uh… telling violet. [ Sighs ] She was so excited about spending time with her grandmother. I… I just don’t know how I’m gonna break this to her.

We’ll figure it out together.

[ Police radio chatter ]

[ Door closes ]

So, naomi was being watched, and she tried to get a message to you guys. What could she have known that would possibly wind up getting her killed?

I’m thinking maybe where to find her daughter. Somebody doesn’t want us to know what happened to hayden, and they’re willing to kill to make sure that we don’T.

On the next “General Hospital” —
