THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So, we have pistachios, we have granola bars, we have an oatmeal cookie, yes, and books. We have more books of my favorite Stephen King novels, The Stand, and The Shawshank Redemption. Oh, great. The books I’m actually gonna read, you know, cause my life still has no internet, no Wi Fi, So, you know, binge watching Yellowstone is just not in the cards for me, is it?

I’m not complaining. I’m not complaining. This is better than Statesville. Don’t get me wrong, okay? I just, you know, miss the daily brawls at Statesville every now and then. Break up the monotony of this whole place, but it’s okay. I’m at the point in my life right now where I’m, never thought I would say this, but I’m looking forward to Vespers.

You know, a month ago, I didn’t even know what Vespers were. So you’re, you’re praying a lot? Yes, Mom. I’m praying a lot. Praying that I get out of here. Praying that I can see my family. Praying that I get my life back.

Alex. Hi there. Hey, Dr. Evans. Hey. I haven’t seen you for a while. I know, right? Not since, um, the night Theresa left. Please, sit down. Thank you. Of course. I’m assuming Brady brought you up to speed on the latest? Yes, he did. He told me that you’d moved on with Kristen. I have to admit, it made me wonder. What?

It made me wonder why you would get involved with somebody who is so difficult. And I thought maybe you had some, you know, ulterior motive.

So, feel good to be home? Amazing, especially after having that stupid ankle monitor removed. Man, I hated that thing. Well, that thing is gone. We are just so glad that you’re here. So, do you want to take a nap or something? You gotta be exhausted, buddy. Are you kidding? I’m way too wound up to be tired. I’m also kind of hungry.

You hungry? Do we, should we get dinner? What do you want? What do you want? Uh, I’ve kind of been dreaming of a buddy’s burger with onion rings and that, that awesome ranch dipping sauce. Oh, okay. Alright. If you want a buddy’s burger with the onion rings and the amazing ranch dipping sauce, that’s what you’re gonna get.

Your dad’s gonna go out and get it for you. No problem. No, it’s okay. Don’t worry. Um, I, I really want to go out. I just, you know, want to be around people. What people? I, my, my friends. And, you know, I haven’t seen them in a while. I texted them when I got back. We just, we just wanted to hang out. Well, if Holly is one of those friends, you can forget it.

You’re going to stay right here.

Hey, Mom. Uh, Harold said you wanted to see me. Hi, Mom. Sit down, Holly.

Mom, please. Stop. Don’t say another word. Mom, I just. Honey. This is how this is gonna work. I’m going to talk, and you’re going to listen.

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

Okay, listen, if you’re insinuating that I’m not attracted to Kristen No, no, I wasn’t insinuating anything. Oh, there you are. Oh, I hope I’m not late. Uh, no, no, no, not at all. Uh, not at all. Uh, we’re just, um, Well, we’re, we’re having supper. We’re having kind of a girl’s night out. Oh, nice. Which I’ve been so looking forward to.

And so have I. I’m sorry, do you, do you know Alex Kiriakis? Yes, yes. We have met. Yes, we have, Mayor Price. Good to see you. Looking fabulous, might I add. And may I also add, I am very happy to hear about your recovery. You’re amazing. Not that we all didn’t already know that. Hmm, okay. Uh, is there anything else?

Why are you buttering me up, Mr. Kiriakis? Is there any particular reason? Not at all. I just appreciate strong, beautiful women. That’s all. Oh, I have a feeling that you appreciate a whole lot of women. And I was just leaving for the night. Thank you both, Dr. Evans. Very good to see you. See you soon, Alex. Is he your patient?

Never mind, never mind, I know you can’t answer that. Anyway, I hope he is because I’m guessing that, that guy needs some help. How are you, Paulina? Good. I am just fine and so very grateful that you asked me out. It’s been too long. Has been too long. Has been too long. I was hoping that I could take you to the bistro, but sadly it hasn’t reopened yet.

Probably, probably for the best, for me anyway. Oh, at least I don’t have to stare at all. Buttery French food that I can’t eat while I’m on this miserable low iodine diet before my treatment. Well, hopefully you will find something in this menu to your liking. Oh, I know I can without even looking. I’m gonna have a vodka meat.

Waiter!

Lucas, I’m praying too. Really? I was just hoping you could do a little bit more than that, but Okay, like, like what? You knew that the, that the deal to shorten your sentence was never finalized, right? Right. I know that. It’s not my fault that I got attacked before I could do what I had to do, before I could out Weston.

Well, of course not. But the point is, he escaped, so I don’t know what we have now to persuade them to let you out early. So what are you saying? What are you saying, Mom? I’m stuck here? I just gotta do my time.

Did I say Holly? Did I even mention her name? Holly is one of your friends, right? Is she not? So what? Why are you even asking me that? Are you guys gonna continue to treat me like a prisoner? And my god, I’ve been stuck in rehab and then a halfway house for months for no reason! We don’t think that you are a prisoner, we just We don’t want you seeing or speaking to Holly Jonas for obvious reasons.

We know you’ve been cooped up. We know you’re anxious to get out there and see your friends, but I think your mom, I think she was hoping that you would just stick around here tonight, you know? We missed you. I’ve missed you guys too, but I saw you when you came to visit. I haven’t seen my friends in forever.

So please, just for tonight, can I go out? Just to be a thousand percent. Sure, you are not going to see I’m not going to see Holly Okay, then then I want you to have fun And uh, have a good time, okay, thanks dad. I’ll see you mom. I promise I won’t be out late Better not be

What do you think your consequences should be for what you did To be honest, I kind of thought I’d be grounded by now Yeah, well, I wanted to make sure that I thought things through and that I wasn’t coming from a place of anger or embarrassment or hurt. And I know the purpose of consequences is to stop the behavior from happening in the future, obviously.

So you talk about in therapy, Dr. Evans. We talk about a lot of things. Mostly me. Well, frankly, honey, that’s none of your business. And like I said, I just, I wanted to make sure that the punishment fit the crime. And what you did, honey, was a crime. You lied to the police. You let EJ prosecute an innocent bystander who was your friend.

And I know you said you were trying to protect me. And even if that was true. It is true. Regardless. I think part of you was just trying to protect yourself.

Let me be clear, honey. I am the one who is supposed to protect you, and if you just had been open and honest with me from the beginning, none of this would have happened. It’s true. So whatever punishment you have for me, I know I deserve it.

Okay, Lucas, look. We can’t just give up, okay? I’m not giving up on getting you out of here. I’m just not doing that. It has to count for something, that you almost got killed because you informed on Clyde. Alright? Look it, Harris has recovered, he’s out of the hospital, so You know what? He needs to step up.

He got me into this mess. He keeps making promises he can’t keep. Okay. Trust me. If he doesn’t come through on his promises, then I’m going straight to the governor. And I’m going to do something about this. Cause one way or another, you’re getting your freedom back.

Now, mind you, I’m not supposed to be having more than one alcoholic drink a day on this diet. Uh, and mostly I’ve been drinking water and club soda. I’m glad to hear that. But I decided to indulge tonight because I’m having a girl’s night out. Like you said, with a different, I’m glad we can make this happen.

Me too. Me too. But I’m telling you more later for a no big deal. Cancer, this treatment, ooh, some pain in the ass. Mind you, mind you. I am very grateful that I am alive to be going through this pain in the ass treatment. We are all so grateful. And I suspect that it might be difficult for you to, to be in isolation.

You’re just, you’re normally so active. Oh, I am dreading not being able to see someone’s eyes glaze over when I talk their ear off. You don’t do that. You’re a wonderful conversationalist. And maybe you’ll be able to relish the quiet. Oh, I highly doubt it. See, I got weeks of that when I was in the hospital, so I’m over it.

Truth is, there is nothing about sitting in isolation that I am going to relish. Especially being separated from my husband. Well, the first thing you’re going to do is make amends with Tate. Well, that’s a little hard to do seeing as his parents don’t want me to see him. And you’re going to respect their wishes by writing to them.

And to him, letters by hand, not text or snap. Mom, Tate knows how sorry I am. Good, and you’re gonna remind him. Very sincerely. And very empathetically. Honey, you You took months away from Tate’s life that you can never give back. And quite frankly, I’m surprised that he found it in his heart to forgive you.

Have you, Mom? Will you ever forgive me?

Tate? I didn’t realize you were allowed to Wait, are you supposed to be out here right now? I’m supposed to be wherever I want. Yeah, but you can get in big trouble if you get caught. No, I can’t. I was, uh, I was just released today. Okay. What? Really? Yes. Really. That’s great news, man. I’m happy for you. You don’t have to pretend to care.

That you’re happy. I’m free now. I’m not stupid, alright? And I know you broke up with my mom, and I know you were two seconds away from calling the cops on me just now. Ugh.

Sorry the tape flew out of here so fast. Yeah, well, I can’t blame him. I mean, what kid wants to stay home with their parents and eat cake? I don’t know, I think that chocolate cake was a pretty good reason to hang around. As are you. Back at you. I just can’t believe he’s finally home. You know, I thought this day would never come.

I know. Kind of feels like the nightmare is finally over. Thank God. I don’t think Tate’s going to be too happy though when he sees that all my stuff has kind of taken over his room. I have to clear out of there and, uh Teresa, Teresa. He packs light anyway. There’s no reason he can’t just stay on the couch.

No. He can’t. No, absolutely not. The poor kid hasn’t slept in his own bed in months. I’m not going to do that to him. Okay, then, then, then why don’t you just sleep in my bed?

Uh, and, uh, Marlena, while we’re on the subject of my previous hospital stay, there is something I’d like to ask you about my, uh, well, My near death experience. Okay. See, now I’ve, I’ve heard about what happens when you’re, uh, brain dead. That the brain releases neurochemicals that Make, make you see things that aren’t there.

Did you see something that wasn’t there? I did. At least I think I did. Maybe I was just dreaming. But it all felt so real. First, There was this bright light. That’s a very common occurrence. You know that? Yes. Yes. I do know that. But then

Marlena, do you believe in ghosts?

To be perfectly clear, your mother was the one who broke up with me more or less. Oh yeah. And I’m actually very happy to hear that you’ve been released. Hey, If you remember, I was the guy who hired your first lawyer. And if your mom didn’t fire him, you might have gotten out a long time ago. Not that I’m blaming her at all.

I’m just really happy everything worked out in the end. Me too. Obviously. Yeah. So your mom was crashing in your old room, right? Where’s she gonna go now that you’re home? Uh, I don’t know. I hadn’t really thought about it. Your bed?

Yeah. I mean, you can, uh, you can sleep in my bed and I’ll sleep on the couch. Oh, wait a minute, you Did you, did you think that I meant No. No. No. No, I didn’t think that. Absolutely not. Uh huh. Anyway, I wouldn’t take your bed. That wouldn’t be right. Theresa, I would be totally fine with it, okay? No. I wouldn’t do that.

So, I guess there’s only one thing left for me to do. And what would that be? It’s time for me to move out. Where are you gonna go? I don’t know. I’ll rent a room at the Salem Inn. I’ll figure it out. Theresa, you don’t have to do that. Yes, I do. I’m moving out, Brady. I think this is best for everybody. Of course I forgive you.

I’m so, I’m, I’m, I’m angry and I’m sad. I’m done. And I’m scared. Scared? Why? Mom, I’m fine. For now. Honey, how long were you using drugs before what happened on New Year’s? A few weeks. That’s all, I swear. And the drugs you were taking? Where did you get them? At school. And not to like, freak you out mom, but they’re kind of everywhere.

I know, honey, I’m aware of that. But mom, you gotta know that after what happened, oh my god, I will never, ever use again. I sure as hell hope not. And I hope that there are fewer drugs on the streets, at least in Salem anyway, now that Clyde Weston’s drug ring has been busted. Yeah, but, Mom, you also have to know that I never thought something like this could happen.

I mean, so many kids have prescriptions for these pills. Yes, but they’re using them for a medical condition. You’re not. And honey, you have no idea what you’re getting off the streets. And you learned that in the hardest way possible. Believe me, Mom, I’ve learned my lesson. Have you?

I mean, have you used or, or had a drink since that night, since New Year’s Eve? A drink? A drink. You know alcohol is a drug too. And I shouldn’t have to remind you that you are underage. Uh, Okay, well, After the christening, when Eric gave me an ultimatum to tell you the truth, I, I was really nervous and scared, so, So I had some champagne.

Great. Right under my nose. You were busy, and I was very stealth, and it was only two glasses. I promise nobody could even tell.

Well, thank you for being honest with me, Holly. But I need to be honest with you. I want to trust you. I do. But now you’ve just shown me that I can’t.

My fate lies in the hands of Harris Michaels. That’s great. Swell. It’s worked out so far. Look, Lucas. He saved my life. Yeah. Well, he almost got you killed, so. Well, you, my friend, have to have a little faith, okay? But in the meantime, I need you to promise me that no matter how bored you get, you will not leave this place.

No matter what. Because let me tell you, Clyde has eyes and ears everywhere. Even at the Salem PD. What does that bastard want with me? I can’t bring him down. You said it yourself. Okay. Well, I probably know him better than anyone. And let me tell you, that man, unfortunately, is all about revenge. Oh, great.

Great. So even if I get out of Statesville, what’s going to happen? I’m not going to be safe until he’s dead? Paulina, tell me about what happened in the hospital. Tell me about this near death experience. Um,

Buckle up, Marlena. Because you’re gonna think I’m crazy. That word is not in my vocabulary. Well, then, you’re gonna think I’m clinically insane. Look, whatever happened, it brought you back to us, and for that we will always be grateful. Well, it’s lovely to hear that. Okay. So then, uh, here goes.

After I saw the light, Abe’s late wife, Lexi, appeared. At first I thought she was going to take me into the light, you know, to cross to the other side. But she wasn’t. She told me she wanted me to stay with Abraham. Then, all of a sudden, I was healed. He got his memory back. It was a double miracle. That it was.

And look now, I know, I know, I know I had a lot of medication in me. But, Abe, he saw the same thing. Now, do you, so, do you, you think that, Really could have happened.

Do you answering a question with a question that what they teach you to do in shrink school now and then? Yeah, that’s what I figured. Joking aside now. Yeah, I’m just I’m just starting to, you know, to wonder. Wonder what? Well, you know, you know, uh, I heard Kate’s voice from, you know, in the, you know, outside of that urn, you know, at the Brady pub, way back, when she was supposed to be dead.

So, You think maybe I have some kind of extrasensory perception or something? Hmm. You know, there are so many things in this world that we don’t understand. I think nothing would surprise me anymore.

I’m not really sure where she’s gonna live, but I’m sure she’ll figure it out. She always does. Hey, Tate, um, would you mind just letting her know how happy I am that everything worked out okay for you? Why don’t you tell her yourself? You guys work together, right? Yeah, well, she’s kind of been avoiding me at the office, so.

Mm, yeah. You know, I feel like there’s a simple solution to that problem. One that doesn’t involve, you know, playing telephone through me. You are very mature for your age, young man. Has anybody ever told you that? I don’t think so, yeah. Nobody’s ever told me that either, so.

Hey man, if you don’t mind me asking, and you talking about it, what happened? How did you get released? Uh, Holly finally remembered that the drugs she overdid on were hers. What do you mean she finally remembered? Wouldn’t she know that, like, all along? Hard to say. Or you just don’t want to say? At all. That she let you take the fall for her, didn’t she?

It’s, it’s complicated. She was going through a lot. Oh my god, you are covering for a girl who put you through absolute hell. You are a better man than me, my friend. I don’t think I would ever be able to forgive somebody who screwed me over like that. You sure I can’t talk you into staying? You know, I don’t know.

I think it’s best that I just walk out of here on a high note. Instead of you and me fighting, for once we fought together. For Tate. And we won. We did. We’ve come a long way, baby. Yeah, we have. I will, uh, I’ll miss having you around. Ditto.

I’ll see you at the office, right? Uh, yeah, no, actually, I’ve been working remotely since I broke things off with Alex. You know, it’s less awkward that way. Look, Theresa, if you want, I can help smooth that over a little bit. No. No. It’s okay. I’m a big girl. I can, I can handle it. I know. Then I will, uh, See you sometime, somewhere else.

Yeah, definitely. Gee, I can help you with those bags if you want. No, I’m good. Thank you. And I’ll write a thank you note to John and Marlena for letting me stay.

Take care, Brady.

I don’t get it. I just told you the truth and now all of a sudden you don’t trust me? You almost died, Holly. And you still clearly have not learned your lesson. Mom. And the only way to earn my trust back is through time and hard work. So the first thing that you’re gonna do is go to therapy. And not because it’s a punishment.

I just think you need it after all the trauma that you went through. And that is non negotiable. Okay. Fine. Yes. And if the therapist thinks that you need further treatment, then Like rehab? Mom, no. Don’t tell me no. You just admitted that you drank shortly after you came out of a coma from a drug overdose.

I hadn’t just come out of it. I’d been okay for a while. And what, like, you haven’t had two glasses of champagne when you were my age? Come on, you were doing a lot Excuse me! Don’t you dare, don’t you dare throw my past in my face! That was different.

I thought at the very least you would be contrite. I am. I’m sorry. Really sorry.

Honey, can you even grasp what you have put Tate and Tate’s family through? He was beat up in jail. I was in a coma, Mom. For months. It’s not my fault that EJ went ballistic on him. Tate discouraged you from taking those drugs. He was trying to protect you. And the only reason he was made out to be a villain was because EJ believed me when I said you would never take drugs.

Okay.

The only way, um, that I’m gonna feel better about this whole thing is that I make sure that you are no longer in danger of relapsing. Which means you are grounded indefinitely. What? You can’t do that! I have to see my friend! Well, then you can see your friends here. Now give me your phone and your car keys.

Oh my Now!

You know, I’m pretty sure I can swing an exemption to the no visitor policy since I’m on staff at the hospital. Oh, no, no, no, no. I would not want you exposing yourself to radiation, Marlena. I wouldn’t be. I’d be able to wear the suit and keep my visits very brief. You sure? Oh, I’m sure. Oh, oh, you’re a good friend, Molly.

Oh, and I’m a terrible one. Why would you say that? Because here we’ve been talking about me the whole time and I haven’t asked you a thing about you. Your life has been a whole lot more exciting than mine the last couple weeks. I find that hard to believe. You know, to be honest, you, you don’t, you don’t seem like yourself.

Is everything alright? Oh, I’m not covering very well. Oh, no, I can tell. You’re making the effort, but, uh, I can see the worry in your face. Uh, but hey, you know, if you don’t want to talk about it No, you know, the thing is that it’s, it’s about John. He’s been going through a lot of revelations about his past.

Oh, I’m very sorry to hear that. Ooh, well I’ve been there myself and I know it can be difficult to exercise those deep, uh, to move on. Yeah, well. He, he will be fine. He’ll get through it just fine. And I’m, and I’m there to support him and help him. Yeah, I’m guessing this isn’t your first time at that rodeo.

Yeah. No. But John’s been going through this for a very long time. Well, He’s lucky to have you. I’m lucky to have him too.

We both are.

To us. Amen to that.

Hey, Teresa. Can I help you with that? Uh, no, I’m

Actually, Yeah, that would be great, yeah. You know, I just ran into Tate. I told him to tell you how happy I am that he’s out of the halfway house. But I guess now I’m actually telling you that myself. Hmm. Yeah, right. Um, hey, thank you for what you did to support him. In case I didn’t show my appreciation. No, no, you didn’t.

I also asked him where you’re going to be crashing now that he’s home. I’m gonna get a room at the Salem Inn until I figure out a more permanent solution. Why? What do you mean, why? I mean, half of your belongings are at my place, which is, you know, a little hard to believe considering you have all this here.

Anyway, why would you be spending money on a hotel room? We started this thing off as a platonic living arrangement, and there’s no reason why we couldn’t get back to it. Um, actually, I can think of a few reasons.

Oh my God, you want me to give up my phone and my freedom? Those are the terms. No. Excuse me? Did you just say no to me? Let me remind you who is in charge here. I’ve been in a coma for months, Mom. I haven’t seen my friends. I haven’t done anything but sleep and almost die. If you’re so happy I’m alive, then why won’t you just let me live?

Giving up your phone isn’t going to kill you. Yes, it will. My entire life is on that. Well, that’s your first problem. That’s funny, because you didn’t think so when you got it for me when I was only 10. So then when I walked myself home from school, you’d know I got there. So I could be completely self sufficient when you weren’t around.

Order my own meals, buy my own clothes. That way you wouldn’t have to think about me at all. Whoa, whoa, that is not true. Well, here’s what is true. You’re punishing me for lying and the only, yes, the only reason I lied was so that you wouldn’t think you were a bad mom. But, you know what? The truth is I started taking those drugs because you were completely checked out.

My father died before I was born and all I’ve ever had was you. I mean, yeah, sure, there was Eric before you screwed that up and made him walk out on us. And now there’s EJ who doesn’t give a damn about me and God knows who will be next year.

Give me your phone. Now.

Here, but I’m not giving you the password. Hallie, I’m not going to go through your phone. I just don’t want you to call any dealers. Dealers? Really? Geez, Mom, why do you always have to be so extreme? Oh, you want to go there? Okay. Okay. You plotted to break up Johnny and Chanel, and now you’re all up in it with Tate?

Seems you always want what you can’t have. Just like me. Honey, I love you. I love you with all my heart, and I will do anything to protect you, even if you hate me for it.

I’m gonna go upstairs to bed, and you should too. Good night. Mmm. Mmm.

Oh. Oh, you know, these carrot sticks have a lot more appeal when paired with vodka. Ha ha ha ha. Mmm. Mmm. Mmm. Maybe. It’s just the company. Oh, I agree. We should do this again soon. Oh, yes, yes, we should now. Soon as I’m un radioactive. Let’s make a date. Yes. You know, you’re going to come through this with flying colors.

Oh, well, I hope so. You know, Marlena, you and me. We’re some tough broads, aren’t we? We are some tough broads. To us. To us, your bride.

Well, thanks for bringing me all this stuff. Especially the books, I really like the books. Ah, more to come. Oh, great. No internet, no wifi, so books are important. I’m gonna be a nerd. Book, bookworm, nerd. It’s gonna be great. Yeah. Well, books are sad for the lonely soul. I’ll just say what they say. Thanks. Yeah, I’ve just never been so lonely for this long, ever, in my life.

You have to hang in there, okay? It’s not gonna be forever.

I hope you’re right. God, I hope you’re right.

No, no, no, no, Bray. Don’t you go there.

I don’t get it. The Salem Inn? It’s expensive. It’s not exactly homey. I mean, why would you stay there when you could just Move back in with me. You really don’t get it. Okay. Um, for starters, you’re dating Kristen DeMera. If I move back in with you, I don’t know. She might put out a hit on me. Teresa, please.

We’ve been on like two dates together. Okay. Uh, you’re also a gazillionaire. It’s not like you need a roommate. So you think I’m going to charge you rent? Come on. I’m just trying to lend. to a friend in need. But if you don’t want to take me up on my offer, I don’t. Well, now, hold on. I didn’t say that I didn’t want to move in.

I just, I don’t want things to blow up the way that they did. I obviously don’t want that either. So I will promise to be a perfect gentleman. But that is about the only thing I can promise. Take it or leave it. Fine, I’ll take it. Oh, great. Let’s go. You shouldn’t

be here. It’s okay, it’s okay, I wouldn’t tell your mom. Why didn’t you answer any of my texts? My mother confiscated my phone. Polly? Hey, gotta go. Okay. Okay. But I’ll see you soon.

What is it now?

I don’t wanna go to bed angry.

You know when you were a baby, like you said, it was you and me against the world. And when we were in Italy, I would watch her every breath. And I would wonder what you were thinking cause you couldn’t talk to me yet. But this, this just brought me back to that time in our lives. When I fought to be your mother.

I will always fight for you, honey. I love you so much and I, I just couldn’t bear to lose you. I just wanted you to know.

Nikki: Well, we loved having you. And we loved having a baby around. It’s a reminder of how precious each moment is. Struggling with bowel leakage?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Jack: Where could ashley have– you know what? If ashley didn’t come home last night, I’m sure she had her reasons.

Traci: Such as?

Jack: None of my business.

Traci: Jack, seriously?

Jack: It is none of my business. It’s none of our business.

Traci: We’re not talking about being nosy here. We’re talking about our sister’s well-being. How can you be so nonchalant?

Jack: I am simply doing what ashley asked me to do and what several people, whose opinion I trust, have told me to do for some time now. I am respecting her boundaries.

Traci: Ah, ashley’s boundaries are all over the place right now. Something is wrong. I– I– I– it’s gotten to the point I don’t know which ashley is gonna come through the door.

Jack: Honey, I’m sorry to say this, you’re overreacting.

Traci: And you’re in denial if you think that this is her normal, everyday behavior.

Jack: Maybe ashley just needed some time to herself without the two of us probing and prodding her every move. Maybe she’s with abby. Maybe she got a room of her own. The point is she can do what she wants to do and I intend to respect that.

Traci: Okay. I didn’t intend to break ashley’s confidence, but you need to–

Jack: Then don’t break ashley’s confidence.

Traci: Jack!

Jack: I don’t need to know this. I am done policing her behavior. It hasn’t worked in the past and I don’t see that changing in the future.

Traci: The past is the past. But there’s a new issue here and I can’t just sit around and say, “well, this is none of my business.”

Jack: Why not? What is really new about this? Ashley is an adult. She didn’t come home last night. Not the first time. Probably not the last.

Traci: You’re not seeing it.

Jack: I am seeing that you are frustrated. I am seeing that you are worried. And I’m not trying to aggravate you. I’m not. But I’ve finally come to the realization that my sister has a right to live her own life without her big brother’s interference.

Traci: I understand. I know what you’re saying. And if it were any other time, I would be right on board with that, except for one thing.

Jack: What is that?

Traci: Tucker. Tucker. He didn’t leave. He’s still here. This is not over.

Tucker: Hey, lily. Welcome home.

Lily: Hi, tucker.

Tucker: I assume this means your daughter is doing better?

Lily: Sorry, how do you know about mattie’s situation?

Tucker: Small town.

Lily: Oh. Okay, well, I’m sure devon didn’t tell you, since he doesn’t really want anything to do with you. Unless that’s changed.

Tucker: No, no. Sadly, it has not.

Lily: Okay, well then, I guess we don’t have much to say to each other.

Nikki: Now remember, there will be a pony waiting for aria as soon as she’s ready to learn how to ride.

Tessa: Well, I promise to come back and visit, and we will definitely be stopping by the stables.

Nikki: I’m gonna hold you to that. One thing I’m sure you won’t miss is all the heightened security at the ranch.

Tessa: I can’t tell you how much I admire your bravery and your strength through all of this. Most people would have run for the hills if some deranged person was stalking them and their family. Has there been any news of finding her?

Nikki: No, I’m afraid not.

Tessa: I’m sorry, nikki. They will. They will soon.

Nikki: I hope so.

Tessa: Well, I– I better get back to work, but hopefully this nightmare will be over soon. Be careful, nikki.

Nikki: I will. Thank you. At dot’s an ordinary pretzel just isn’t enough.

Jack: Look, I know you’re concerned about tucker, but I think we all need to take a step back and look at this man, what he’s capable of, which is precious little if you think about it. I know we’ve all bought into this idea of him being this dangerous, powerful egomaniac who can topple empires at a whim, but… he can’t get to us.

Traci: I’m not talking about the corporate world, jack.

Jack: Neither am I. I’m talking about ashley. She’s done with him. She was done with him a long time ago. Yes, he managed to somehow worm his way back in, but look what happened. It’s over. He ruined it just like we thought he would, and ashley is telling us now she wants nothing to do with him. I think we need to take her at her word.

Traci: So, you’re not at all worried that she may have spent the night with him last night?

Jack: Is that your real concern here? Because I don’t think that. He does not have the same hold on her he once had. I know it’s taken some time, but she’s there, and you have to believe that.

Traci: I would like to, but I– I just can’t believe it.

Jack: We have to let this go. What are our choices here?

Traci: Our choices are to be cautious and vigilant when the situation requires it.

Jack: But that doesn’t help her. That pushes her away. I know it goes against your nature to not look after ashley. It’s the same for me. But she will only take so much pressure before she eventually just tunes us out.

[ Traci sighs ]

Traci: So you just want me to sit back and watch a slow-moving train wreck about to happen?

Jack: No, no. I want you to listen to her. To be there for her. To let her work through whatever this is on her own. Be a sister to her, not her keeper. No, traci, you are the glue that holds this family together. No one would say otherwise. Don’t let it be a burden. Don’t let it be a reason you can’t let your guard down and just be with us. Look, I know you have a home in new york city. You work there. I respect all of that. But we love having you in this house. Your home. I particularly have loved that you have been here as long as you’ve been here. And whether ashley’s willing to admit it or not, I think it’s been good for her. I think it’s a good reminder of how strong we can be if this family is united.

Traci: But that– that’s just it, jack. I don’t see that our family is united.

Jack: Traci, we’ve been through worse than this. Far worse. When we’re not speaking to each other, when we’re forced to live in different continents. This, by contrast, is a bump in the road. Oh, god, I’m sorry. I’m– I’m supposed to have coffee with nikki right now. Listen, trust me on this. When ashley needs our help and asks for it, we will be there for her. Until then, I’m gonna give her the space she asked for. I think you should do the same thing. I love you.

Tucker: May I ask you how devon is doing?

Lily: Hm, I don’t think so.

Tucker: That’s an innocent enough question.

Lily: I don’t think anything is innocent with you. I mean, you always have a hidden agenda. And I want no part of it, especially when it comes to my family.

Tucker: Yeah, lily, I understand your suspicions about me, but I have kept my distance from him, as requested. And it hurts. It really does. Not being a part of his life and not getting to see dom on a regular basis. I miss him. I miss even going to his music classes and having to sit through all those kids banging away at the drums just so I could hear his solo.

Lily: Well, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Tucker: Yeah. You’re right, I do. I have done things that have rightfully driven devon away. But I would very much like to correct all that.

Lily: You know, sometimes, these things can’t be corrected. Because people’s feelings get hurt, and once that happens, you can’t always undo it. And I definitely am not gonna try to undo it for you.

Tucker: No, no, no. I wouldn’T. That’s not what I’m asking. I just– I love them and I miss them, and I feel like I have to convince you of that.

Lily: I’m not the one who needs to be convinced.

Tucker: That’s incredible timing. We were just talk–

Traci: Hi. Hi. Um, is this the front desk? Great. This is traci abbott, and I’m wondering if anyone there has seen my sister, ashley. She often takes a suite there. I think you know who she is. Oh, never mind. Ashley? Are you all right? Where have you been?

Ashley: I don’t know. You didn’t live this strong,

Jack: Sorry I’m late. Have you been waiting long?

Nikki: No, not too long. Um, I was chatting with tessa. And she was telling me about the move, that she and mariah are moving off the ranch into their own home, you know.

Jack: I didn’t know that. Hey.

Nikki: What?

Jack: What’s wrong?

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: What’s not wrong?

Jack: You can talk to me about anything. That’s why I’m here.

Nikki: Oh. I don’t know what to do, jack. Victor wants to take me on this fabulous vacation to celebrate our anniversary, and I just don’t know.

Jack: I think it’s great. You should be rewarded for surviving victor all these years. Sorry, old habits die hard. Why are you ambivalent about this trip?

Nikki: It’s just a feeling. It’s a dread that doesn’t seem to go away. I mean, there was a time not that long ago where I would have hated going on a trip with victor because that would mean it would be harder for me to drink. Now, it’s the opposite. I hate that I want to drink, and a trip would mean time alone with all of these terrible feelings and urges and– and I don’t want to be away from you and your support.

Jack: I am always a phone call away. You can always reach out to me when you need to talk. Hey, I think you should go. After everything that you and victor have been through, you both deserve a chance to get away, to rest, and recoup. I think this is exactly what you need.

Tucker: Morning. How are you?

Devon: Tucker.

Tucker: Devon?

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: How’s dom?

Devon: He’s fine.

Tucker: Still into music?

Devon: Uh-huh.

Tucker: Good. And how are you?

Devon: I’m doing great. I’m late for a meeting though with my sister, so I need to go.

Tucker: Wait, hold– wait a minute. I know the harm that you think I have caused or that I actually have caused, but do you actually believe that I am just beyond all hope? That there’s nothing I can do or say? That– that whatever I have done is just so egregious that we couldn’t possibly even attempt to find our way back to being a family again?

Devon: Well, that’s the thing. We’ve never been a family.

Tucker: Well, not in a traditional sense.

Devon: This is what pisses me off about you. Because I try and draw lines, and then you just walk all over them like they’re not even there. Because I’ve been very specific about telling you to keep your distance from me, and then you ask me something like this ’cause all you care about is what you want.

Tucker: No, that is not true at all.

Devon: It’s not true?

Tucker: No.

Devon: How’s it not true? You tell me how it’s not. You look at your life right now and tell me that you’re not alone. ‘Cause I know you are, and it’s all because you don’t know how to stop sabotaging the things that you claim matter to you. And I’m done playing the game. You’re not entitled to me or anybody else.

Audra: Tucker?

Tucker: Beautiful audra. Last night was magical, and so were you. Every time I look at you, I realize how fortunate I am and what an idiot I was to resist what you’ve known all along, that we were meant for each other. I will never make that mistake again. I have to run a few errands. Can’t wait to get back to you and hold you in my arms. I love you. Tucker.

Traci: You don’t remember where you’ve been?

Ashley: Uh, I woke up in a motel room, alone. I have no idea how I got there.

Traci: Okay, what’s the last thing you do remember?

Ashley: I don’t know.

Traci: Think ashley, try to concentrate.

[ Ashley sighs ]

Ashley: I, um, I think I was at the athletic club. I think I was outside tucker’s suite.

Traci: Okay, did you see him? Did you talk to him?

Ashley: I don’t know. I don’t think so. I kind of remember that I– I ran away from there.

Traci: And you don’t remember where you went after that?

Ashley: No.

Traci: Okay, I’m– I’m sorry. I have to ask, were you drinking?

Ashley: No.

Traci: Are you sure?

Ashley: I don’t know. I’m not sure of anything. I mean, there’s like this empty space. Before and after, I was at the athletic club that lasted until I woke up in that motel room this morning.

Traci: Okay, is there any way that you might have been drugged? Are– are you sure? Because, you know, ashley, it’s really easy for someone to slip a roofie in someone’s drink.

Ashley: No.

Traci: Maybe we should have you tested.

Ashley: No. No.

Traci: Look, you don’t have to go to a hospital. We can hire someone to come here and take a sample.

Ashley: You don’t understand. I know that I wasn’t drugged. This isn’t the first time it’s happened to me. Infused with vitamin b3 and hyaluronic acid, eggs make all our family moments better. what is cirkul? Cirkul is the fuel you need to take flight. Cirkul is the energy that gets you to the next level. Cirkul is what you hope for when life tosses lemons your way. Cirkul, available at walmart and drinkcirkul.Com. -Remember when I said we need to screen for colon cancer? Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Do I love speed walking?…

Jack: So, do you think you’re gonna have enough faith in yourself and in the program to go on this trip and have a good time, even if it’s with victor?

Nikki: Jack.

[ Jack sighs ] Well, I just don’t know that I could’ve survived this ordeal without you, so thank you.

Jack: Enough with the thank yous. You would do the same for me. And seeing a smile on your face and your sobriety is enough thanks for me.

Lily: Are you okay?

Devon: Yeah, I’m fine. What was that about with you and tucker when I walked in?

Lily: Oh, you know, he hears his name and then thinks it’s a reason to come over and be annoying, but I don’t want that today.

Devon: So, he did say something to annoy you?

Lily: No. He was trying to pretend like he was a human being, and I wasn’t convinced.

Devon: Did he ask about me?

Lily: Of course. He is relentless.

Devon: Well, I don’t know what he expects.

Lily: I don’t know, your forgiveness.

Devon: Well, I just told him again that he’s not gonna get it.

Lily: Look, I know it’s easier said than done, but don’t let him get to you.

Devon: He doesn’t get to me. He can’t anymore. What?

Lily: I mean, listen, to me, tucker doesn’t matter, right? He has no effect on me. But I know for you, that’s different.

Devon: It’s not different. It’s not different at all. Maybe it was in the past, but…

Lily: Come on. You’re his son.

Devon: I know what I am. I’m his biological son.

Lily: Okay. Devon, really?

Devon: What? I’m fine. I really am. I– I’ve given him plenty of opportunities to do right by me, and he’s messed it up every single time. So, it’s okay.

Lily: It’s okay that you might feel sad that he hasn’t been the father that you deserve or need, right? Or that he hasn’t been the grandfather to dom that he should be. It’s okay to have those feelings. I mean, saying that that matters to you doesn’t mean that tucker has won.

Tucker: Mm-mm-mm. Good morning.

Audra: Hi. Where’d you go?

Tucker: Did you get my note?

Audra: I did. It was very sweet. A beautiful present for me to wake up to. But a little short on the details of where you ran off to.

Tucker: I had a very important errand to run.

Audra: Oh.

Tucker: Yes.

Audra: What kind of errand?

Tucker: All shall be revealed quite soon.

Audra: You’re being very mysterious.

Tucker: Yes, I know, and you love it when I’m mysterious.

Audra: Up to a point.

Tucker: Oh, yeah. I think, I hope, I pray you’re gonna like this surprise.

Audra: Oh. What is it?

Tucker: I’m not telling you. It’s a surprise.

Audra: Oh, come on.

Tucker: No.

Audra: Okay, what about a little hint?

Tucker: I don’t think I can.

Audra: Fine. All right, how about you just tell me if I’m dressed appropriately for this surprise of yours?

Tucker: Hm. I don’t know. You’ll have to find out for yourself.

Audra: Hm.

Traci: Okay, do you need anything? Food? Do you need water?

Ashley: I’m okay.

Traci: Does your headache? Okay, I’m gonna feel your forehead, okay?

Ashley: I’m so sorry. I don’t want you to have to do this for me.

Traci: Oh, come on.

Ashley: You’re not my mother.

Traci: Oh, ashley. We take care of each other. It’s what we do.

[ Ashley sighs ] Were you assaulted?

Ashley: Oh, no. Thank god.

Traci: Oh, thank god.

Ashley: No.

Traci: All right, these memory lapses, can you talk to me about them? Can you describe them?

Ashley: Oh, it’s hard.

Traci: It’s okay, take your time.

Ashley: It’s just really strange because I’ll be home, and then, suddenly, I’m all the way across town. I have no memory of how I got there.

Traci: And you’re sure that there’s no pills or alcohol involved in any of this?

Ashley: No, it’s not a blackout. It’s like a– it’s like there’s a dead zone. It’s like I can– I can kind of remember something. It’s kind of just out of reach. It’s almost right there. But I can’T. It’s so frustrating. It’s so frustrating.

Traci: And terrifying. I imagine it’s terrifying.

Ashley: You have no idea.

Traci: Okay, we’re gonna figure out how to make sure this never happens again. I’m gonna help you.

Ashley: How? I don’t think you can help me. I don’t think anybody can help me. I was thinking that maybe this was stress and that it was gonna pass. But I think it’s getting worse. And I’m afraid something horrible’s gonna happen.

Traci: Oh, honey. Oh, honey.

If you’re taking

an antidepressant,

Devon: Listen, I hear you. I hear what you’re saying. And sure, maybe in the past, tucker did cause some pain for me. But I’ve come to the realization that you can’t miss what you never had. And I’ve never had him. I’ve never been able to rely on that guy, ever in my life. And every single time he’s tried to come into my life, it’s never been about our relationship. It’s always him trying to get something or win at something or take over a company or get his ex-wife to fall back in love with him. It’s– it’s too much. And he will try and wear you down until he gets what he wants because he can’t take no for an answer. And that’s not how a father should behave. And I know this because I am one and I had the best example I could ever ask for. Neil is all the father I’ll ever need.

Lily: Devon, I know that your relationship with him is more complicated than you’re willing to admit. I mean, look at how shaken up you are just by running into him.

Devon: I’m not shaken up, okay? I’m just letting off some steam to my sister.

Lily: Okay. You know I’m always here to listen to you. But right now, we do have more immediate problems to worry about than tucker mccall.

Tucker: Okay, one more, one more step.

Audra: I don’T… ah, okay.

Tucker: Forward.

Audra: Can I open them yet?

Tucker: No, not yet. Not yet. You’re fine, you’re fine. Stop.

Audra: Now?

Tucker: Yes. Huh?

Audra: Oh, my god. Tucker.

Tucker: I figured since we couldn’t go to paris, I’d bring a little paris to us. You surprised?

Audra: Stunned is more like it. This is so– so you.

Tucker: Mm.

Audra: Come here. You really are a romantic.

Tucker: Yeah. Don’t let the word get out, because it might ruin my reputation.

Audra: Your secret is safe with me.

Tucker: So, I take it you approve?

Audra: Hm. C’est magnifique.

Traci: You’ve been so brave to tell me all of this. Ashley, you’re not alone. Now, we’re gonna take everything we know and we’re gonna move forward from there, okay?

Ashley: How? How do we do it?

Traci: Well, I think you’re right. I think it sounds like these memory lapses are getting worse. So the first thing we need to do is get you to a doctor.

Ashley: Ah. You think it’ll help me?

Traci: I do. I think they need to rule out everything that’s physical. So, there’ll probably be some tests. Some blood work, a ct scan, everything that can find out what’s wrong physically. And then I think we’re gonna have to also consider a mental health care professional.

Ashley: Oh, please. A therapist is not gonna be able to help me with this.

Traci: No, look, I know it’s gonna be a lot of trial and error, but we have to explore every avenue. Ashley, it’s not safe for you to keep having these memory lapses. It could be neurological. It could be psychological. We don’t know. So, we’ve got to cover every base. Oh, honey, are you all right? What is it? Come on, sit down.

Ashley: I need some water.

Traci: Water, okay. Okay, all right.

Ashley: They’re gonna put us away. We can’t let ’em do it. We have to do something. We have to do something.

Nikki: I promise to bring you back a fabulous souvenir.

Jack: Not necessary. As long as victor has a sunburn and sand fleas, a postcard will do.

Nikki: What’s this?

Andy: Courtesy of the gentleman from the bar, mrs. Newman.

Nikki: There’s nobody there.

Barman: He must’ve just left.

Nikki: What’s in this drink?

Andy: Triple premium distilled vodka.

Nikki: Take it away. Please, take it away. (Smelling)

Jack: Hey.

Nikki: Did you find him?

Jack: I spoke to your bodyguard. He’s been canvassing the area, but he’s been looking for jordan, not a man.

Nikki: Well, she put him up to it, whoever he is.

Jack: We don’t know that.

Nikki: I know that. I am certain of that.

Jack: Andy, the guy that left the drink, is he a regular at the bar?

Andy: First time I’ve seen him in here, mr. Abbott.

Nikki: Do you believe me now? Jordan has an accomplice. Who knows how many she has? I mean, am I being watched all the time, wherever I go? You were right. You and victor were both right. I can’t take this anymore. I need to get away.

Devon: So what other problems are you referring to if it’s not about heather and daniel getting let go, which I’ve already told you I wasn’t a big fan of?

Lily: No, no, that’s a problem solved in my book. That’s a done deal.

Devon: Well, it was your call to make, so it’s– it’s fine and we move on. But you know that billy isn’t gonna be okay with it, since he has a contrary opinion to everything chancellor-winters these days.

Lily: And that is the issue I’m talking about.

Devon: Tell me about it.

Lily: No, I’m talking about this constant tension between you and billy.

Devon: Oh, well, that’s on billy, it’s not me.

Lily: I don’t really agree with that.

Devon: I’m not his biggest fan, I’ll admit that. And it’s frustrating to work with him at times, but that’s a moot point since you’re back and there’s no reason for him to be at the company anymore. You do agree with me about that, right?

Lily: I don’t think I agree anymore. I mean, I’ve had time to think about it, and I think that billy does have a purpose and a place at chancellor-winters.

Ashley: What do we do now? They’re gonna lock us up.

Traci: Okay. Here you go.

Ashley: Thank you. Do you think that maybe we could just keep this between the two of us?

Traci: I– I don’t know, ashley, I– I think–

Ashley: Please? I mean, we’re sisters, right? I just need to know that you have my back.

Traci: I will always have your back.

Ashley: Okay, don’t tell anybody then, especially jack. You know how he is, he’s so bossy, he’s just gonna want to take control.

Traci: Ashley, jack cares about you as much as I do.

Ashley: I know.

Traci: He just wants to see you feel better.

Ashley: Pinky swear, okay? Don’t tell anybody or I’m not gonna go to the doctor.

Traci: Ashley.

Ashley: I mean it. Pinky swear.

Traci: Okay, I won’t tell.

Ashley: I gotta go.

Traci: Now?

Ashley: Yeah.

Traci: Where?

Ashley: Oh, I’m gross. You know, I’m gonna go take a bath. I’m gonna go take a bubble bath.

Traci: Ashley.

Ashley: See you.

Audra: Isn’t it a little early in the morning for this?

Tucker: It’s never, never too early for us. Never.

Audra: Uh, what are we toasting?

Tucker: Toasting you.

Audra: Oh, really?

Tucker: Really. To audra charles.

Audra: To us.

Tucker: Um… I have a couple of things I want to say to you. I feel like as well as you know me, I don’t think you know how much you mean to me. How much you’ve meant to me. Of course, that’s understandable because, uh, for the longest time, I don’t think I knew either. But the fact is, you’ve been the one who I confided in and confessed to. And who I counted on to surprise me and amaze me. Keep me on my toes. So often, my days started and ended with you and I don’t think I realized until now how much I needed that. How much I needed you. How much I love you. Because I love you and I love your fire and I love your depth. And your sweetness, which you will deny, I’m sure. You don’t want anyone to know you’re sweet, but I know. You’re so sweet. I– I marvel at you, audra. And I just– just being here– just being this close to you, it makes me feel so… like I’m where I’m supposed to be, you know? So… I’ve spent my whole life trying not to be vulnerable and I’m feeling pretty damn vulnerable right now. Okay. What the hell. Marry me, audra. I love you. And I want to show you how much every day, for the rest of my life.

Wow.

I’m sorry. I hate being like this. I’m not Usually paranoid or scared of my own shadow. Look, you have nothing to be sorry about. Okay? You are the bravest person that I know. I have hope. After what you went through, after what we both went through. I mean, it’s not like it’s easy to just move past that.

Except, those pants are, well, they cost a bloody fortune, they’re like 2, 300, whereas my pants are like 40, generic, everyman, jogging pants. They’re just knockoffs of these. Okay. So, look very carefully at the stripes.

You’ll see the fancy designer pants, the stripes are thicker than they are on mine. Well, how can you be sure of that? I can be sure about what? Well, that your pants have a different stripe, a thinner one. The police have your pants, don’t they? Oh yeah, they do, but I have these. I have two more pairs of the same type, and here they are.

Remember when you were teasing me about my jogging uniform? Well, they’re on sale, so I’ve got a bunch more. Which means that Which means I finally have proof, Sarah. I’m proof that I’m innocent.

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

When you look at me, okay? After what we both went through, huh? How could you not be anxious? Scared of your own shadow, as you put it.

You know, I know you haven’t been sleeping well. No, hardly at all. In fact, when I do finally fall asleep,

I keep having this recurring dream where I’m just, I’m banging on the steel walls of that tank and I’m crying out for help and no one comes. And then when I wake up, I feel my heart pounding out of my chest.

I heard you talking in your sleep too. Shouting, in fact, get me out of here. I can’t breathe.

I didn’t realize that.

Look, you know what? I think that. We need What? Is to rewire our brains with happier thoughts. Okay, I’m all for it. But how? I mean, aside from faking it till we make it? Well, we’ll do both, okay? But, uh, by the rewiring our brains part, what Just have like a fun little date night.

Okay. Yeah, we’ll do something light. Something totally frivolous. And uh,

I have an idea. Don’t go too far.

Alright, dishwasher is running, trash is out, and the kitchen is clean. Oh, is there anything you can’t do? If there is, I haven’t found it yet. Okay, you know what, there is one thing you cannot do tonight, and that is cook dinner. I’m doing that, so why don’t you, uh, put on some music and pour yourself a drink?

Okay, how about I, uh, pour two drinks and keep you company while you cook? Ooh, you wanna be my sous chef? No. No. No, I’m actually gonna watch. Oh. Because, uh, you’re very easy on the eyes, Miss Vitale. Hmm. Back at you, Detective Michaels.

I don’t understand. You saw yourself? What does that mean?

I don’t know.

It was, it was me. Uh, Smiling. But, Different. Different? How? Um, It’s hard to explain. Like, I saw myself. A version of myself. And, uh, it frightened me. Well, what did Dr. Evans say about it? Uh, I didn’t tell her.

Hey, now, look at the stripes on these. Yeah, the width. Now look at those.

They are definitely not the same. No, they’re not. They’re not the bloody same. Oh my god, Xander! Oh, you are so brilliant! Nobody else would have noticed that. Except a man that’s fine for his life. And his family. Oh my god, no, let’s go see the police. Come on, what are we waiting for? Are you sure? No, I mean, of course, I never knew what I was gonna find.

I just thought, Oh my god. Yeah. Yeah, please, uh, send me all the scans. Alright. Alright, thanks a lot, man. I owe you one.

Damn, this is gonna get ugly.

Sarah! Xander? Detective, I have something you very much need to see. Yeah, well, honestly, this is not a great time. Well, this can’t wait, but it won’t take long. But why didn’t you tell Marlena what you saw? So she can help you figure out what it meant, that’s what she does. I know, I know, I know, I just, uh, I don’t know, I don’t know why I didn’t want to tell her about it.

I just wanted to get out of there and go somewhere familiar and nurse a drink, you know? Well, well, well, look at you two. Picking up right where you left off. Wow. That looks and smells amazing. I’ve just made my famous pudinesca. It’s not a complicated recipe as you saw. Well, I mean, it looked pretty complicated to me.

But honestly, I didn’t know that mincing garlic could be sexy. Until I watched you do it. Oh. Wait till you see me grate cheese. Although this time I gotta admit, admission’s not gonna be free. Oh, no? What, uh, what form of payment do you take? Oh, well we’re cashless, Commander, and our credit card machine is down, so You’re gonna have to come up with some kind of way.

Uh, I got an idea or two.

Okay, so this is my brilliant plan. Jenga. Uh, and remember, if you knock over the tower and you don’t yell, Timber, you have to drink. Uh, and I also took the liberty in ordering us your favorite, well, our favorite Pad Thai with shrimp and some of those summer rolls that look like little friendly deep sea creatures.

First, the Wendy. Sorry, I You remember what you said when we were still in the hospital? I said a lot of things. Yeah, well, this one is pretty important. So, I looked it up. I’ll just, I’ll read it. Low oxygen levels can impair both decision making abilities and judgment. Right? So, why did you look that up?

Well, I looked it up because I’m wondering if that’s why you proposed to me. And why I said yes.

Trip, is that the reason you got married?

Why we got married? No. No, it wasn’t the carbon dioxide. No, it’s uh It’s probably closer to, you know, in vino veritas. I know we weren’t drinking alcohol, but our inhibitions were lowered, and so we were saying things that we were already feeling. Just, I’ve been too afraid to say otherwise. Right. I suppose.

Wendy, I, I do not regret or take back anything that I said that night. Do you? I don’t know.

Look, when you admitted to me that even though you didn’t like that your parents put pressure on you to get married young, you did see marriage in your future.

Well because it seemed like our time was running out, I, I wanted to make that happen. For you. I wanted that for myself too, when we were in that tank, you know, losing oxygen, losing our. They are mine, so I look over at you, and I realized more than ever how much I loved you. And I love you. I just, I feel like we skipped over a few critical steps.

Like we just jumped right into wedding vows. I mean, it’s easy to say till death do us part when When you think death is just 10 minutes away

2015 Barolo 98 points Somalia’s dream And it is the most expensive bottle in the house We deserve it Hey Well, cheers to that yes and To surviving,

you know, uh, Harris, when you were in the hospital and I didn’t think you were gonna make it. I was, I was kind of beside myself, as you probably know. Yeah. There were, uh, rumors. To that effect. The rumors were true.

Because I thought I was going to lose the strongest, kindest, most loyal person I have ever known.

The best person I have ever known.

And just, being loved by you, it makes me think that

maybe I am okay. He wants to be with me.

You’re not just, okay.

How can I put this, um,

Just everything I want.

Just everything I need.

Stylish. And very cheap. See, look. See the stripe? Yeah. The stripe in the photo is thicker than that stripe. The shooter was wearing these fancy designer ones. With the ones on your desk, mine, you can get them at your local mall for less than the price of takeout. So, whoever this was, whoever set up Xander, clearly has the funds to afford designer jogging pants.

Yeah, and to put 50k in my bank account. Speaking of which, uh, do I get to keep that? Because, you know, the money’s already there, and I figure the son of a bitch owes me for everything he’s put me through. Well, that’s for the court to decide. Well, so, what do you think? This proves that Xander’s innocent, right?

Jada, I don’t understand why you have to do this. Why you have to give us a hard time. What hard time? It was a simple observation. You two are picking up right where you left off. Look, I get that you’re angry, but we are trying to figure this out. Right. Well, you have a whole lot to figure out, God knows.

There is. And Everett, I hope you don’t mind my telling Jada that you just came from therapy with Marlena. Oh, uh, no, I don’t mind anyone knowing. Very big of you. She hypnotized him. To try to access the things that he can’t remember. Right. So, what did you remember while you were under hypnosis, Bobby? Okay, you know, you don’t have to answer if you don’t, you’re not ready.

Well, I think I have a right to know, considering my life was greatly affected by the things that he can’t remember. Nope, you’re right. You do deserve to know, so, um, I’ll tell you. It’s pretty weird, and it’s probably not going to make sense to you, but, um, I saw myself, smiling.

You saw yourself smiling?

Okay, forgive me, but man, that sounds like some grade A narcissistic Bobby BS to me.

Maybe we should just go, huh? You know what? It’s okay. Alright? Jada’s anger toward me is totally justified. And I understand her skepticism about virtually everything I say. Jada, this may ring false to you, or hollow, But don’t. But, ever since we first met here, at the Brady Pub, on Valentine’s Day, virtually everything I have said to you is completely truthful.

Yeah, well, since you barely have a nodding acquaintance with the truth, Bobby, you’re right. Every word you speak does ring hollow to me. I mean, you’re, you’re claiming to not remember me. To not remember being married to me. How would you expect me to react to that? I expect you to be as upset and confused by it as I am.

And even though you, you probably think I’m, I’m, I’m inventing some, some crazy excuse for having hurt you the way that, that you say I did. But for me, not being able to remember being involved with you, much less married to you, it’s not just confusing, it’s agony. There’s no other word for it.

Maybe you could try to have a little compassion, Jada, and support him instead of condemning him. How about you do that? I’ll pass. All I can say is I am just so glad I don’t have to deal with Bobby Stein anymore. He’s all your stuff.

I will admit, I see a difference. This could be good news for you Xander. Why could it not be? It’s not what’s next. Well, we’ll get on it in the morning. Good job, you two. No, no, it was Alexander. He made this happen. Well, like I was telling Sarah earlier, I was highly motivated. I was fighting for my life and my family.

So,

Ali Horton, she was your first love?

Well, she was my first choice. Serious relationship. And before Allie? Was there anyone else? Oh yeah, there was this girl in high school I had a major crush on.

What about you? It was your first love. Was the guy Samir the skateboarding phenom? Okay, no. It was not Samir. I already told you, I was nine. So we were just best friends, that’s all. So, where’s love?

Freshman year of college. It was this guy, Cameron. We met in a cyber security elective. And, uh, we dated for a while. That was totally smitten. But then, he found someone else. And he broke it off. And, yeah, I was totally crushed at the time.

You know what? All of those relationships, all of them that fizzled out, they all led us to each other. For this moment. And I am so grateful for that.

And Wendy, if our love is real, it’ll last, right? Yeah, definitely. So how about this? We forget about the whole marriage proposal slash wedding in the beer tank and just go back to all those steps we missed. Sounds like a plan. Okay, more than in that case, Wendy Shannon. Would you like to go on a date with me tonight?

Right here. Right now.

Mm. Wow. Ava, that might’ve been the best meal I’ve ever had. Elso, uh, is that, did I say it right? That’s perfect. Mente. . Oh, I said it perfectly. Yes. No ban, but me and Mario, you know, we haven’t even had dessert. Yeah. Yeah. A lot of ideas about dessert. Oh, yeah. Mm-Hmm. . Mm-Hmm. the, uh, kind of dessert that is. Very low calorie.

Oh. Oh, you mean the kind that might actually burn calories? Yes, that kind. But first, I think a, uh, good transition to dessert would be a dance. Okay, if you recall, our first dance was here at the bistro. And, um, I do have two left feet, so Yes, I do remember that. I have a vague memory of that. But, you know, since you are perfect in every other way, I will definitely put up with those two left feet.

Mm hmm. Well, in that case, may I have this dance? Yes, you may. Oh, oh, oh.

Finally, Sarah. We have proof. Yes, because you were determined to find it, and I’m so proud of you. Sarah, I can’t tell you how much it means to me that you never died to my innocence. You, you believed me all along. God, I I love you too.

I’m sorry about that. The way Jada went after you. It’s okay. I get it. I understand why she’s angry. I mean, why would she be? Yeah, but to constantly go on the attack. Do you think Marlena could speak with her? Maybe she could Get her to empathize a little bit and understand where you’re coming from. I mean, the thing is, I don’t understand where I’m coming from or what’s going on with me, you know?

So, I think that the best thing for me and Jada is for me to stay away from her. I am. Hey, you. So, I’m thinking definitely your place tonight. How about we get out of here right now? Uh, yeah, hold on. Hold on, because, um, I’ve got some news. Can’t it wait? No. Can’t.

I just, I wish we could stay in this bubble forever. Who says we can’t? Well, we do have to make a living. Well, you thought about that, figured it out, detective me. Not so much. What are you talking about? You’re going to run this place. When are you going to reopen? Oh, I’m not. I am done with the bistro.

And now, I’d like to make a toast.

To sign language. Because of your brilliant, timely proficiency with it. Helped us get rescued. Okay, just sign language.

No, I’m sorry. I can’t do this. I can’t. It’s the smell of the beer. I just can’t. I can’t. I’m sorry. I’m the one who’s sorry. I Joey thought it was funny to send a spirit, but you know, it’s not, it’s not funny. It’s not funny at all. It obviously, it obviously triggered you very badly. I’ve been trying so hard.

To stop the images in my head. But I can’t. No, I just keep seeing us in that beer tank. I keep seeing Goldman. And then I, I remember that feeling. That feeling of not being, not being able to breathe. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t. Yes you can, you can. Win, you gotta home, you’re home, you’re not in danger anymore, okay.

I feel like hell, I feel like, I can’t just, I can’t just keep pretending like nothing’s wrong! I just can’t. Yes! So?

Our little angel is fast asleep. Yes. It’s so funny, isn’t it? Like, she’ll go from being wide awake and laughing and crying and just filled with baby energy, and then slowly her little eyes will start to close. When she’s laughing, which is pretty much my favorite thing that she does, she really looks and sounds like her mom.

See, and she reminds me of you in so many ways. Really? What ways? Your expressions. The way she knits her brow right before she’s about to cry, That knowing look that she gives me right before I’m gonna give her a bottle. It’s amazing, isn’t it? We made this life. This sweet, beautiful life. I’m so grateful we did.

She’s, she’s everything. And because she brought us back together. As she did. What’s that expression? Life is what happens when you’re making other plans. Well, I’m so grateful that life happened and I’m so grateful for you.

What? What do you, what do you mean you’re not going to reopen? Look, this place, it almost destroyed my life. It almost killed you and my son. No, I get, I get it. I understand. And of course I want whatever’s best for you, but you. What are you gonna do? I will figure it out. You know, I’ll find another job, a legit job, in case you were wondering.

I’m serious, Harris. I am never going back to that life. Never.

Trip. I’m so sorry, I’ve all, I’ve picked this all up and No, no, you won’t. Okay? Just Just talk to me.

It’s not right. I mean, here I am acting like I’m the only one who suffered through this whole thing, Tripp. You were there too. Wendy, you have nothing to be sorry for. Okay, not for knocking over the Jenga tower, not for anything. Okay, and I’m glad you let that out. I don’t want you bottling any of your feelings up with me.

What we went through? It’s terrifying. It’s traumatic.

If it sounded like I thought we could just move on, like it didn’t happen, that’s not what I meant. I know that’s not possible. I just thought that distraction might do us some good.

So I’m the one who’s sorry. Steph, um,

There’s something I need to tell you. You may not want to hear it, but it’s something I really need to say. Uh oh. What’s this news that I need to hear right now? I got a call recently from an old friend of mine. We were at the academy together, uh, later on. He went to law school, started a private practice just outside of Seattle.

And, um, anyway, I, uh, asked him to do some digging for me.

Well, I’m not exactly sure how to tell you this.

I don’t know what’s going on with me, but what I do know is I love you, and I believe that we can get through this. I believe there’s hope for us. I know that’s a lot to take in, given what’s, what’s been going on lately, but My feelings for you haven’t changed. I love you, Steph. You’re everything to me.

Rafe, you’re scaring me. What’s going on? Just say it. So, your divorce papers? They were never properly filed.

You’re still married to him. Legally, you are still Mrs. Robert Stein.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Hollis: Hey, boss.

Deacon: Hey.

Hollis: Ari called himself when he heard he wasn’t getting his standing table today. He sends his condolences.

Deacon: Yeah. I really appreciate your help. I think I might have wasted your time though. I got a feeling I might be paying tribute to sheila all by my lonesome.

[ Knocking on door ]

Hope: You are a surprise.

Liam: Bad one?

Hope: No. What brings you here?

Liam: Would you believe I was just in the neighborhood?

Hope: No.

Liam: That’s fair. Uh, actually, more than anything, I’m curious. Last time we spoke, deacon had invited you to, uh, sheila’s memorial service. You were a bit conflicted. Today’s the day. What did you decide?

Deacon: Finn. Hi, it’s deacon. I’m gonna be having a memorial service for sheila. You were so important to her. I know she’d want you there. You couldn’t have the relationship that she wished for, but she loved you, finn. More than anything in this world.

Finn: Hm. You smell good.

Steffy: So do you. Is everything okay?

Liam: Um, I just don’t wanna upset you.

Steffy: Uh-oh.

Finn: Look, I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. And I’ve decided to go to sheila’s memorial service.

Hollis: You know, boss, it’s not about the amount of people that are here, but the quality.

Deacon: Nice try. You know, I know better than to have any expectations about the upstanding people of los angeles. I know how much they hated and despised sheila. I don’t know, I just– I just wish there’d be a couple people here, you know, besides you and me. It’s just… sad. No one’s willing to pay their respects.

Liam: So, are you going to sheila’s memorial service?

Hope: I’m not sure I want to tell you that.

Liam: Fair. But?

Hope: I talked to my mom. My dad actually invited her as well, and obviously she will not be attending. Anyway, uh, she then proceeded to try to talk me out of going, and I wanted to hear her objections so that I could make up my mind.

Liam: Did it work?

Hope: Yes. I’m going.

Liam: Oh.

Hope: But not to pay tribute to sheila. To support my dad.

Finn: I know you’re not happy about that.

Steffy: Do you think I would be, after telling me you’re going to sheila’s memorial service? I mean, if the tables were turned, she’d be going to our services, or– or mine. Because that’s– that’s what she really wanted, finn. She shot us, and then she broke into our home to finish the job. How can you even consider going?

Hope: Can I tell you how much I’m not looking forward to this afternoon?

Liam: I bet you’re gonna be the only person that shows up for that thing, yeah. First.

Hope: Well, maybe, finn.

Liam: You think so?

Hope: Well, my dad invited him and I know he does feel a connection to sheila. That is his birth mother, in spite of all of the horrible things that she’s done.

Liam: All of the horrible things she’s done, including shooting him and steffy in the alley, leaving them for dead.

Hope: Well, I certainly know that steffy would not be okay with finn attending sheila’s memorial service. So, we’ll see.

Steffy: You’re serious? You want to go?

Finn: Look, I know it’s the last thing that you want to hear from me, and I don’t wanna upset you. I know you don’t understand, and honestly, I don’t either. I– I just– I feel this– this need to be there. And look, hey, believe me, I am not excusing sheila, okay, for any of the– the despicable things that she has done to us. I would never defend her. But I also can’t help the way that I feel. All right? This primal connection, and… oh, god, I wish I didn’t, because, you know, it would be a lot easier, but it is there, and I can’t deny it.

Steffy: Finn, sheila’s dead. Can you just let her go?

Finn: Well, I’m hoping that being there will allow me to finally do that. Look, I never want to disappoint you. Sweetheart, I love you.

Steffy: I love you, too.

Finn: Look, this has been a challenge for us, dealing with sheila’s death, the way that it went down.

Steffy: Okay, so you, um… you really think if you go to sheila’s memorial service, you’re gonna find some kind of resolution?

Finn: It’s all I got.

Steffy: Fine. I mean, if you have to go then– then go. I just can’t go with you.

Finn: No, of course. And thanks for understanding.

Steffy: I, um… honestly, I don’t really– I don’t really understand it at all, but, um… I guess I can say just don’t be surprised if you and deacon are the only mourners.

Deacon: It’s just sad, you know? You live your whole life, and in the end, there’s just nobody here to mourn you.

Hollis: No, no, no, no, no. You’re here, deacon, and somehow I think that’s enough for sheila.

Deacon: I think it’s gonna have to be. Or not.

Hollis: I’m gonna go check inventory.

Deacon: Hey, thanks, hollis.

Hollis: You’re welcome.

Deacon: I can’t believe you came. I mean, of course I believe it, because… you’re you.

Hope: Well, I didn’t want you to go through this alone.

Deacon: Thank you. It means the world to me. The right age for

Steffy: I’ll just make a few tweaks to the contract and get back to you. Okay. I’m excited to work with you, too. All right, thanks. Bye bye.

Liam: Hey.

Steffy: Hi.

Liam: Hi. I used to love seeing you in, uh, corporate mode.

Steffy: Oh, I remember. So, what brings you by? Get some gossip for spencer publications?

Liam: Uh, actually, I’m just, uh, checking up on hope.

Steffy: I’m sure she’s fine. I’m sure she’s living her best life while my brother is halfway across the world licking his wounds because of her.

Liam: Yeah, well, thomas in paris, uh, works for me. I’m not gonna pretend I’m not kinda psyched those two aren’t in each other’s lives anymore.

Steffy: Yeah, that we can agree on.

Liam: Well, how are you?

Steffy: Yeah, I mean, the whole situation’s been a little tricky with– with sheila. But sheila didn’t come between finn and me when she was alive, and I’m certainly gonna make sure she doesn’t come between us now that she’s dead.

Liam: You know what I heard? I heard that, uh, deacon is having a memorial service at his restaurant for her.

Steffy: I am well aware.

Liam: Finn’s not, uh, he’s– he’s not gonna be in attendance for that, I assume.

Steffy: Oh, he is.

Liam: No, he’s, are you– are you okay with this?

Deacon: It’s sad, you know, it’s a life lived and lost, and nobody cares. I know. I know. I, uh, I reached out to finn. I don’t know if he’s gonna come. It would’ve meant so much to sheila.

Hope: I mean, honestly, I would be surprised if he didn’T. Like, I do know he felt a connection to her.

Deacon: Yeah. Maybe steffy objected. I mean, god knows she has a right to.

Hope: Well, steffy should let finn grieve however he sees fit, and maybe she should stop dictating how other people feel.

Deacon: I don’t know that that’s what happened.

Hope: Hm. Wouldn’t be surprised.

Deacon: Well, I guess there’s no use in putting it off, right? We should get going. There’s not gonna be a mad rush at the door. Shall we?

Hope: Okay.

Deacon: I just can’t believe it’s come to this. We were so happy. We were working together. We were– we were building something. Why the hell did you throw it all away? You came. Great.

Hope: Hey.

Finn: Hey. I’m surprised you’re here.

Hope: Oh, well, I came to support my dad. Look, I– I know– you know how I feel about sheila, but I am really sorry for your loss. You wanna know how I get this glow?

Liam: So, hold on. Finn actually went to sheila’s service?

Steffy: Like it or not, and I hate it, sheila is his birth mother.

Liam: Yeah, I know. And you’re his wife.

Steffy: And I killed her. Look, this is hard for him, and I’m just trying to be understanding.

Liam: Well, that is, uh, that’s awfully generous of you, because from where I’m sitting, him attending this service is a complete betrayal.

Steffy: Okay, finn and i already– we already discussed this.

Liam: I’m sorry if this is touchy, but like, how– how– what did you say? I mean, did you at least push back? Did you ask him what the hell he’s thinking?

Steffy: Liam, I didn’t use those exact words, okay, but I– I told him that I’m not thrilled that he’s going to sheila’s memorial.

Liam: Something is wrong with him, steffy, if his priorities are this misaligned. I mean, I– I don’t know. I– I get it. I get that she’s his birth mother, but he wasn’t– he was raised by two loving parents. He had no connection to sheila until she– until she crashed your wedding. Steffy, steffy, you’re his wife. You are– you’re it. You’re– you’re where his loyalty should be, not sheila.

Hope: You, uh, doing okay?

Finn: Yeah, I’m– I don’t know– I don’t know why I’m feeling so, um…

Deacon: She gave you life, finn. You two are connected forever. Even death can’t change that. She loved you more than anything in this world, and it means so much that you’re here.

Finn: Um, how– how are you holding– holding up?

Deacon: Taking it day by day, sometimes hour by hour. Thank you for asking.

Finn: Well, you were one of the few people, probably the only person who genuinely cared about sheila. You had good feelings for her.

Deacon: I did. Despite what most of the world thinks, including my daughter, sheila wasn’t all bad.

Finn: You knew her better than anyone. So, maybe you can help clarify something I’ve had trouble to understand.

Deacon: I’ll certainly try.

Finn: Because everything that I had heard was sheila was doing pretty well.

Deacon: Yeah, she was. She– your mother had completely turned her life around. She was happy. I mean, she was working here, enjoying it. Most of the time. We were leading a grounded, stable, happy life.

Finn: Then this doesn’t make any sense. Why trash it all? Why break into my home and attack steffy? I mean, sheila had to know that this wouldn’t end well.

Hope: Except we aren’t exactly talking about a normal person, are we, finn? I mean, she probably just snapped. Given sheila’s track record, is that really such a surprise? I mean, she defied logic.

Finn: Yeah, well, whatever the case, I mean, it’s– it’s– it’s tragic.

Hope: I think the real tragedy is the pain that she caused people when she was alive. And now the heartbreak that she is leaving, now that she’s gone. I mean, it’s clear that this is impacting both of you.

Deacon: Could we have a second? I’m sure you know this, finn, but your mom, she– she never really believed that anyone cared about her. And I get a feeling that right now, she is looking down on us with a smile on that beautiful face of hers. And she’s happy. Because you came here. And hope’s right. Sheila, maybe you did defy logic. There was never anyone like you. And there never will be again. I just can’t believe we gotta say goodbye.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Brook Lynn: Detective! Looking good! You’re looking good, too, but for different reasons. Dante, that was amazing! “Amazing.” I don’t know about that. I need help getting to the bathroom. You are getting stronger every single day. It may not be happening as fast as you want it to, but everyone can see that you’re making progress. Here. Oh, yeah. It’s true. All the nurses are talking about it.

[ Groans ] Oh, that’s just ’cause I left my gown open when I went for a walk earlier.

[ Chuckles ] Well, whatever the reason, you have a lot of adoring fans out there. And in here. You should have seen this guy when he found out you were awake. He was jumping up and down so hard, we got complaints from the neighbors. Oh, yeah? I appreciate that. And, hey, even though I was out, I knew you would have been here. You’re my partner. And my friend. Where else would I be? Thank you. Hey. Why don’t we, um — why don’t we stop calling it a coma? You know, we can say I took a — like, a long nap or something. A nap? Yeah. That’s what you’re going with? Yeah. Yeah.

[ Laughter ] Resting up for all the dancing we’re gonna be doing at your wedding. Yeah. I’m, uh… I’m gonna need a little more than dancing from you. This is a nice surprise. Oh. I’m here so often, I should pay rent. Hm! Put out little café table, I could have my own bobbie’S. Oh, I think the seating would be too limited. Wouldn’t be profitable. Hm. What’s on your docket today? Dr. Kramer. I’m having a follow-up. You? I just had a blood draw in preparation for my “annual wellness” visit with dr. Randolph. It’s a perk of being a board member, although I think they’re playing a little fast and loose with the term “perk” in this context. I remember when my doctor visits were annual. Looking back, it really was a “perk.” Morning, tracy. Elizabeth. Gregory, if you’re ready, we can head to the exam room. I’m as ready as I’ll ever be. Maybe I’ll see you later? Hi. I am so glad you decided to stop by. Kristina: I want to clear the air. I am really not okay with what you did to carly and drew. But… i am willing to accept you made an impulsive decision that spiraled out way beyond what you ever intended. Yes! That’s it. Exactly. Yeah. One bad decision doesn’t negate all the good you’ve done. And, nina, you have done a lot of good, especially for my dad. And I know how happy he was with you. And even if he never admits it, I know that he misses you.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Horse neighs in distance ]

[ Chuckles ] Put me in, coach. Are you sure? Yes. I got my check from deception, and now I can finally do something besides worry about how I look. Well, you still look way too good for this place. Nothing and no one is too good for this place. And that’s a fact. Alright. Comet isn’t here. You can save your flattery. Are those — are those new? They may or may not be. As you know, I am looking for my new purpose in life. Hm. You think you’re gonna find it here in one of these stalls? Because, believe it or not, this isn’t exactly the résumé builder you might think it is.

[ Laughs ] Honestly, I don’t know what I’m looking for or where I’m gonna find it, but I figured that if I’m someplace comfortable and happy, then inspiration might find me sooner. So…if it’s okay with you… hey, are you sure? You really want to — oh, come on! Put me to work! What’s the worst that can happen?

[ Doorbell rings ] You must be isaac. Come on in.

[ Sighs ] Here’s my pride and joy.

[ Romantic music plays ]

[ Sighs ] I’d like to be honest with you, if I may. Well, I hope you’re always honest with me.

[ Chuckles ] Um, unless I’m mistaken, this is a standard follow-up… and yet somehow it merits the attention of the head nurse of a very busy hospital. Well, I assist doctors and patients all the time. You have more important things to do, and we both know it. You are important. Thank you. And while I’m honored to have you look in on me, I was hoping to keep some aspects of my life private. I’m sorry if I made you feel like your privacy hasn’t been respected. No. You’re always very respectful. But, uh, as my disease progresses… I would like to try and keep my patient life completely separate from other parts of my life. I understand. You’re very important to my son — and to me. So I realize that that may be easier said than done. Not at all. It’s not a problem. I mean no offense. I hope you know that. None taken. And I hope you know that I never meant to presume. Yeah, I do. Well, if you’re ready, I will let dr. Kramer know that you’re here. And, gregory… thank you for telling me. Thank you. Brook lynn and I were planning on downsizing the wedding to a civil ceremony at city hall, family-only reception at the quartermaines’. We didn’t see the point in throwing a big bash without you there. We want you to be a part of it. Now, finn is gonna be my best man, but I would be honored if you would be my groomsman. The honor will be mine.

[ Chuckles ] That is so wonderful. Except — look. I don’t want to put any pressure on you, but being a groomsman, it involves a lot of, um, standing and walking and dancing. You think you’ll be ready for all that? Hey. Come on. You’re getting married in, like, a month. I better be ready, right? Yeah. I hope I am, too. I still have so much to do. Whoa! Oh, no. You have been wonderful! Really! It — but let’s face it, okay? It is crunch time. We still have, like, a million details to lock down and decisions to be made and a seating chart that has to be finalized. Hey, you know, I don’t care where I sit, but when the dancing starts, I want you third, okay? Not fourth after some rando cousin or weirdo uncle. It goes him then ned then me, okay? You may have to fight my dad for that third-place spot on brook lynn’s dance card. Well, of course. I’m a gentleman. I’ll concede. How’s your dad doing? Uh, he’s not looking too great at the moment. He’s also not good at telling us what his doctors have to say. Maybe he just wants a tiny bit of privacy. If he had it his way, he wouldn’t have told us he was sick at all. Well, that is because he is a self-sufficient adult who’s losing control of his body. And who he chooses to share or — or keep things private from is — is one of the few ways he still has agency. But we are his family. We love him and we just want to help. I — he just wants to be your dad, chase, not your dad who’s sick and needs your help. Look, everybody deserves a little privacy sometimes, even from their family who loves them the most.

[ Knock on door ] Hi. -Hey! -This is a nice surprise. Hey.Hi. Mwah. You… you just kissed a groomsman. Did I?! Yeah. So now we gotta get me all rehabbed so I’m ready to go. Well, don’t you worry. Between me and the kids, we will have you fixed. Good luck! Guy’s not known for his patience. Oh, I’m way ahead of you there. Hey, we’re heading out, so if you need anything… we’re good, but, you know, you go — protect and serve and stuff. I’m on it. Hey. Am I in time to take you on your morning walk? Uh, you know what? Actually, I went for a walk with chase. For, uh, you know, like, a 90-year-old man, I didn’t do too bad.

[ Laughs ] What’s going on? You got a new case? Um…sort of. I asked danny’s vice principal to text me in case he ditched any classes. So far, so good. Think maybe you’re giving him a bit of a hard time? I don’t know, dante. Danny’s made some bad decisions lately, and I don’t know if I can trust him. I certainly can’t trust his father. Y-you think sonny misses me? Yeah, I do. I think that’s why ava and avery are still there at his place. Fills up the quiet, and it helps him forget what he lost. I don’t know if you and my dad are ever gonna work things out, but I hope that you do. That’s it. That’s all I came here to say. Thank you, kristina. This means so much to me. Yeah, I think you know I’ve always liked you, nina, and I want the best for you, so whatever that might be. Yeah, and I want the best for you, too — yeah, with whatever is going on in your life.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, I’m, um — I am pregnant with tj and molly’s baby. I’m their surrogate. Oh, wow! That’s wonderful! Yeah. What an amazing, generous thing that you’re doing. Oh, don’t sanctify me just yet. It’s amazing, but it’s also been difficult. I mean, the morning sickness has been hard, but the hardest part has just been not being able to tell everyone, you know? I — for so long, I just wanted to, like, shout it from the rooftops and tell strangers on the street like, “I’m having a baby!” I mean, I-I’m h-having a niece or nephew baby. It’s probably, uh, the hormones talking. Yeah.

[ Knock on door ] Oh, um, that’s my 10:00. Okay, well, I’ll leave you to it. Thanks, nina. It’s good to see you. Yeah, very — very nice to see you, too. And thank you for reaching out. Of course. -Oh! Hi, kristina. -Hi. -Hi! -Nina! -Beautiful. -Oh. Thank you. So do you. Um, I’m sure you recognize her, but I wanted to introduce you to the new face of deception. Uh, blaze, this is nina reeves, the editor in chief of crimson magazine. Of course, I recognize you. And I’m a big fan. And congratulations. Thank you. It’s, uh, very nice to meet you, too. I remember you from sonny’s compound in puerto rico when we got married. Belated congratulations to you. Thank you. So you remember kristina, then. I absolutely remember kristina. It’s a big change for deception. Yes, yes. It’s very new. And you are among the very first to find out. I should hope so, maxie. This is crimson after all. Well, I’m gonna — I’m gonna head over to G.H. And visit my brother, so I’ll let you guys get down to business. Uh. Wow.

[ Chuckles ] Face of deception. Yeah, I can really see it. Congrats.

[ Chuckles softly ] My neighbors growing up had horses, and I used to love brushing them and feeding them. And I would just sit on the fence and watch them do horse things. Do “horse things.” Wow. You really — you really are sounding like a ranch hand.

[ Laughs ] Ahh. One day, my neighbor put a saddle on the horse and let me mount. And I-I did, and I fell off like a dozen times. But I never cried and I kept getting back up. So eventually they got me my own saddle. And the rest is history. And maybe your future… if your love of horses and stables continues. I love being here with… the stables. What about you? What do you look forward to in your post-deception future? I’m doing it right now.

Your dad has an appointment today with dr. Kramer, and I told his assistant that I would do his pre-appointment check-in. Everything okay? Yeah, everything is fine. However, he did tell me — in the kindest, sweetest way possible — that I’m overstepping. Which means… we’re all overstepping. Mm-hmm. He’s my dad. I love him. We’re all just trying to support him. It’s possible that our support makes him feel like we have already decided, without consulting him, that the time has come for us to take over — and it hasn’T. Because he can still make his own decisions and do things for himself. And, really, we have to let him.

[ Scoffs ] I always feel like I don’t do enough for him. Because you feel like you should be doing more for everyone else all the time. No. It’s who you are. I don’t — I don’t know. You know… I reached out to this, uh — this buddy of mine who’s a neurologist, you know, see if he had any als advice. And? We didn’t get much of a chance to talk. I mean, we worked doctors without borders together. He’s in the ukraine, literally putting people back together in the middle of a war zone. Made me kind of miss those days. Made me feel a little useless about what I do here. Must be contagious.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, yeah? What are you talking about? It’s how I feel at home right now. Just useless with jake. Everything I do or say is wrong, and I feel like I’m making everything worse. I think you’re being hard on yourself. You’re an amazing mom. It didn’t feel that way when jason came by yesterday. It was a complete train wreck.

[ Sighs ] So, uh, fair to say things aren’t improving. I’m worried about your shortness of breath. Yeah, it’s gotten a little worse. But it’s manageable… if I don’t push it. Which I can accommodate — with one exception. Which is…? I need to know if I can still preside over my son’s wedding. I’m not a psychic. I’ll settle for your educated guess. Can I make it through the month speaking and walking under my own steam? Well, this is no more than my educated guess, okay? But I think a month is a safe bet. And when my son comes by asking for an update… I won’t discuss a patient with anyone, not even with another doctor, without the patient’s express permission. That’s what I was hoping to hear. Thank you. It was a pleasure meeting you. Yes. That person — that’s not an act. That’s who she actually is! I do need to know — what happened to sasha? I don’t think I have ever felt so betrayed in my life. I mean, I thought — we all thought that jason was dead. And then he shows up out of nowhere, and he tells our son to keep a secret from me. I mean, no explanation, no idea where he’s been for the past two years. I don’t know if jason is different or if I’m actually seeing him clearly for the first time.

[ Knock on door ] Kristina: Knock, knock! Is this an okay time for visitors? -Yeah. Come on in. -Hi! -Ohh! -[ Groans ] Well, well! It’s about time you woke up. You scared us. I mean, not that you did that on purpose or anything, but maybe try to be a little more careful next time? Yeah, you know, I’m all about the caution. Right. Yeah. But you — wow. You’ve done some growing. I know! Right?! Isn’t it crazy? Yeah. It’s awesome. I’m just, like, waiting and waiting and waiting to show, and then finally it’s just happened. Uh, my apologies for the interruption, but… detective falconeri, how would you feel about going home today?

[ Laughter ] How did your appointment go? Well, the doctor thinks that with, uh, some rest, medications, continued use of my cpap machine for breath support, I should be in good shape for chase’s wedding. Ah. You must be so relieved. I am, yes. And I’m guessing that alexis will be relieved, as well. Why is that? Well… alexis is a very accomplished, bright woman. Hm. Spare me the preamble. But she’s not particularly close to chase or brook lynn. And were it not for you, she wouldn’t make the guest list.

If we do it right, it could be huge. Definitely. Okay. I am on board 100% for all of it. Okay? Isn’t it really nice what kristina is doing, acting as a surrogate for her sister and tj? Do you think it would be, uh, you know, too much if I just sent sonny a casual note congratulating him? ‘Cause that baby is gonna be his great-niece or nephew. Hmm. That depends. Do you care if sonny casually throws that note in the trash? Maxie! You said it yourself. Your marriage to sonny is over. Not legally. Not yet. Maxie! Kristina was just in here. I think it’s only natural if I offer good wishes. Right. To molly and tj. And then kristina. And you think it — it looks desperate if I also include sonny.

[ Scoffs ] I have some time before my appointment with dr. Randolph, and I was going to get a cup of coffee while they run my blood work. Would you care to join me? Ohh. More than I can express. But my mission, which I had to accept, is just getting started. I have to have my blood drawn and an ekg and then a nerve-conduction study. That’s a full day. Hm. Once upon a time, als was just my diagnosis. Now it’s my full-time job. Gregory, you are much more than your diagnosis. You are much more than a patient. It’s hard to remember that on a day like today. Let me remind you. You are… terrifically charming and, um, uh… a wonderful conversationalist. And you’re intellectually challenging a-and… …you’re not bad to look at.

[ Chuckles ] You vixen, you!

[ Laughs ] Jake has more reason than most to be shaken up by jason’s reappearance. Shaken? That’s a-a mild way to describe it. Hm. His anger with jason is all over the place right now. Yeah, well, I suppose that’s understandable. How was it otherwise seeing jason again? It was strange.

[ Sighs ] I mean, he’s so — he’s just vague about everything — where he’s been, what he’s been doing, why he never reached out to anyone. I mean, he’s never been a big talker, but even for him, it was — it was maddening. Yeah, I know a little bit about that. To think about some of my past relationships and the things that I just accepted and I… I wonder, how was that ever enougfor me? And then I — I think about you and what we have. It — it’s deeper. I feel the same way. Like, why did I ever settle for someone who was so limited with what they could or would share of themselves with me? I’m glad I got it right this time. Me too.

[ Door opens ] Hey. Are we allowed in here? I suppose you’re staff-adjacent, so we’ll bend the rules. Is everything okay? Perfectly fine. Well, except… we need your help to save our wedding.

Try to spend some time with dad when you can. I mean, he’s just — he’s been worried about you. We’ve all been really worried about you. But dad… he’s been blaming himself. Alright. Yeah. I will. I’ll, uh — I’ll spend time with him. He can come visit me, and I’ll get my, uh — get my exercise walking down the hall to see him. Tell me what you think. About what? Ava’s still living there. Really? With avery, of course, but… the whole thing just feels a little weird. Yeah, I agree. It is weird. But look — I don’t think sonny’s gonna care one way or the other what I think about ava being there. But I’ll — I’ll keep an eye on it. Yeah. Maybe just in your spare time.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. The most important thing is I want you to focus on a full recovery. Yeah. I’m way ahead of you there. Love you, big bro. Mwah! I love you, too. Okay. Let me know if he needs anything. Will do.

[ Door closes ] Well, there’s general rejoicing about you coming home from the hospital today. Well, as there should be. But I did tell olivia no visitors — not until tomorrow. ‘Cause I know you’re gonna be exhausted tonight oh, probably, but, you know, I’ll just be so happy at home. Hey… is everything okay with kristina? Yeah. Why do you ask? I don’t know. It was just something I picked up on while I was in here. You know what? If it’s private, you don’t have to say anything to me. I shouldn’t even be asking. No, no, no. She, uh… she’s worried about my dad… and, more pointedly, the fact that ava’s living with him. She thinks it’s weird. So do I. You think sending sonny a casual note and nothing more comes across as me looking desperate? Really? Yes, really. Because you are desperate. No, I’m not desperate. I just miss sonny. That’s all. I don’t want my marriage to be over. See, y-you’re saying all the right words, but it’s your tone that gives you away. You want sonny back, and you’re willing to do anything. I have two things — two things that give me hope that I can have it back. The first thing is, I haven’t signed the divorce papers yet. The second thing is, maxie… I have a secret weapon. I must admit — your post-deception life has very good coffee.

[ Slurps ] Yeah, I have a connection that can get me corinthos coffee whenever I want. What more can you ask? Uh, not much. I’m not one of those guys who’s, like, sweaty with want, you know? I like my job. I get paid enough to cover basic expenses and…got my own room and board. And monica enrolled me on G.H.’S hmo in case one of these… buckos kicks me… or I put a nail through my hand instead of a horseshoe.

[ Chuckles ] Has that ever happened? Not here, but, uh, I haven’t, believe it or not, always been the consummate horse whisperer that you see before you. Don’t tell james, though. He’ll never let me live it down. He is maxie’s son.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. He is. He’s a fun little dude. Leo, too. You know, sometimes there’s more kids here than there are horses. I love it. It’s kind of like being a part of a family. You do actually have a family that you could be part of if you just come clean with mac. Yeah, yeah, that might be more than I can handle. Horses are enough. What? Nothing. No. Come on. Tell me the truth. What, did I make myself sound like too much of a loner? I don’t think women our age should color our hair. Oh, there’s a shock.

[ Chuckles ] I don’t think I could carry the green off anyway. Yeah, well, I don’t think she is, either. Uh, I happen to have some time to kill before the appointment you relentlessly insisted I make with dr. Randolph. May I join you? Yes. You may. And I am not apologizing for insisting. I have to get back soon, too. I just needed a cup that wasn’t from the hospital cafeteria. I’d rather be audited.

[ Chuckles ] I heard that deception’s new face person was a woman of color. Yes. Blaze. Well, you sure wouldn’t know from anything in here. Well, it’s too soon. She just signed on. And, by the way, in those magazines, women of any color make me feel like I’m from another planet.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, to be young. Yeah. Amen, sister. Amen. Mm!

While I am sitting here waiting for my blood to be centrifuged, may I ask you a question? Yes, you may. Why are you still working? Don’t you want to retire? And do what? Knit. If I were in baltimore, I’d have a whole group of friends, mostly widows, that I could hang out with, but if I didn’t have anything better to do with my life than play matchstick poker on thursday nights with the family, I would lose my mind. Why don’t you play for money? Fear. Theirs.

[ Both laugh ] But you’re from here. You know everybody. I do. I know hundreds of people. But social acquaintances are just that. They’re cordial, superficial. Not that that bothered my mother. My mother was gracious to everybody. She had more friends than she knew what to do with. I gather you take after your father.

[ Chuckles ] I do. And I was proud of it. I still am proud of it. But… truthfully, it has its disadvantages. I, uh — I don’t have a lot of deep, meaningful relationships with people, and… one of the very few, I — he’S… he’s otherwise occupied. No, no, you’re — simon, you’re absolutely right. Yep. I will. Thank you. Dad’s doctor won’t tell us anything about how he’s doing. Patient confidentiality and all that. I, uh, never really had to ask before ’cause I used to go to all his appointments with him, but, uh, then he asked me to stop. So now if we want to find something out… dad’s gonna have to tell you himself if and when he chooses to. Okay, well, until your father decides to talk, can you please help us pull our wedding back from the brink? Yeah. What happened? I thought you had everything under control. Yeah. It seemed like dad was getting worse. And then dante was in the icu. So instead of just canceling altogether, we just thought we’d downsize. Significantly. How significant? A courthouse wedding with two witnesses. Chase in a suit and tie. Me in something understated. -No gown, no veil. -Okay, well, you can relax. Because dante is being discharged. And now dad’s holding his own. And now we want everything to go back to the way we originally planned it. Yeah, absolutely. Hey. Listen. We’re here for you guys. Whatever you need, we’re here. Yeah, let’s get you guys married in the style you deserve. Okay. See? Everything’s gonna work out. Yeah. Ava and avery are still at sonny’s because of security reasons, and ava can act as my advocate. Oh, nina… if you are depending on ava for anything, you’re going to be disappointed. I disagree. Oh. Okay. Really? Let’s name one selfless or generous thing that ava has ever done. Not a nice gesture. I’m talking about something real where she put someone else ahead of herself. Ava has nothing at stake here. I trust her to act in my best interests. See, I don’t think you know what your best interests really are. Any man you have to plot to get back is not a man you’re gonna keep. And, to be honest, I never really liked you as sonny’s wife anyway. Since when? Since you started being sonny’s wife. It took over your life, nina. And, frankly, I never thought you’d become one of those women. The nina I know was erased by “mrs. Corinthos.” And I missed my nina.

I don’t think you’re a loner. I’ve spent enough time with you to know better. Well, that’s a relief. I would say that there’s something… a little… aloof about you. Aloof? Uh-huh. Is that because I don’t give you long, lustful looks and try to manhandle you? Well, then you would be trading “aloof” for “creepy.”

[ Laughs ] You know what I mean. You made it very clear that you’re not ready for anything. I know, and I like how comfortable and easy it is between us. Me too. That’s why I’ve kept my very significant interest at bay. But I got to be honest — sometimes I think that two or three days of manhandling could be fun, too. Stella, isn’t it hard to work with people that are suffering? How do you… keep from feeling sorry for them? Sometimes I can’T. But I don’t let those feelings keep me from treating that person as a person. They’re much more than the terrible thing that’s happening to them. Thank you. I appreciate that. And I, uh… I have a friend that’s going to appreciate it, as well. Nothing annoys him more than… being “handled.” And as a matter of fact, it annoys me, as well. I never would have guessed. Hm. You know, if you’re up for some matchstick poker, I’d be happy to leave you humble. How do you feel about backgammon? Love it. Be happy to beat you at that, too. You’re on. Alright. Sister.

[ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone dings ] Is that my mother? Uh, asking what she should bring for dinner? Sorry. Or is that — is that danny? It’s actually my mother saying if we need anything when we get home. And, yes, I do admit — I was checking to see if there was an update on danny, and there isn’t one. That’s good news, right? Well, for today. But what about tomorrow or next week? I know danny, and when he decides to do something, he does it. And I know he’s gonna try and see jason again. Alright, well, maybe there’s like, a — like, a compromise in there somewhere. I don’t — I don’t think so, dante. Danny being anywhere near jason is dangerous. You are actual living proof of that. Oh, you can’t blame — I do. I do blame jason for putting danny in danger. And i will make sure it never happens again. Excuse me, elizabeth. T-the desk nurse told me that I could find you in here. Yeah. What can I do for you, dad? Did you call dr. Kramer about my “condition”? Yeah, I just, uh, wanted to check in with him. From now on, I’d appreciate it if you would… check in with me. Okay. Understood. Um, how did your appointment go? Dr. Kramer said I may have had a little slump, but, uh, I’m much better now. Good. That’s, uh — that’s good news, dad. Chase and brook lynn just left. Do you want me to call them? They might be able to give you a ride home. No, no. I can get my own ride. Hamilton, don’t end-run me again. You’re right. I need to step back. It’s gonna be hard.

[ Sighs ] I mean, I know we have like a thousand details to finalize, but t-the venues are booked, the flowers have been picked, the menus are approved. My dress is still a work in progress. What about the honeymoon? Excuse me. You, me… alone together. Somewhere romantic. Ha ha! Funny! We’re going to palm beach. Unless — chase, did you cancel the reservation? I mean, that would be totally fine, and we could probably just rebook it. We still have our reservation. Ohh! Phew! Don’t scare me like that. But I am just checking in. Are you sure you want to go to palm beach? Absolutely! We already went over the places that are in our price range.

My price range. Your family is paying for this big wedding.

I want to cover the honeymoon. And you are. And it is going to be amazing. Look, I’ve never been to palm beach, but everyone tells me that it is gorgeous. And the hotel that we picked looks exquisite. Any other superlatives you want to throw in there? Just one. We are going to palm beach as mr. And mrs. Harrison chase. And that will be perfect. I can do better than perfect.

On the next “General Hospital” —

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: Look, we love each other. And our family is safe and secure, so we don’t have to think or talk about anything else, right now.

Finn: You’re not worried about thomas and douglas being so far away?

Steffy: No. No, douglas is curious and he’s intelligent. He’s gonna be really happy. He and thomas are gonna have so much fun in paris.

Finn: Okay, but they’ve been happy here.

Steffy: Look, is it gonna be an adjustment? Yeah, it– it will. It’s gonna take some time, but it was the right move. I’m just really relieved that hope’s not in thomas’ life anymore.

Beth: Hi, daddy!

Liam: Oh, my goodness! What a great surprise! I can’t believe it!

Hope: Laurel’s mom actually just took the kids to the movies.

Liam: Oh, to a movie? Ah. Did you have a good time?

Beth: Yeah, we ate so much popcorn. Maybe mommy can come next time.

Liam: You know, it’s funny you say that. I’ll tell you something about mommy and me. We love a good drama.

Hope: Hm.

Liam: Don’t we? We do.

Beth: I love being together.

Deacon: I told the florist to, uh, you know, keep it understated. Classy.

Hollis: Okay, well the chef wanted me to ask you about the guest count.

Deacon: I’m working on it.

[ Indistinct chatter ] Give me a second. Well, it is good to have the logans back. I’ll have a table for you in just a minute.

Brooke: You didn’t have to rush over to say hello.

Deacon: I was kind of hoping you’d stop in.

Donna: Well, we’ll be here more often now that sheila’s gone. Oh my, I’m– I’m so sorry, deacon, I…

Katie: We– we know that you were, um, close to her.

Brooke: How are you doing?

Deacon: I’m doing okay. I’m actually in the middle of planning an event, which you’re invited to. Doubt you’re gonna wanna come.

Brooke: Oh, what is it?

Deacon: Uh, it’s a memorial service for sheila.

Donna: Oh, so you’re planning a service for sheila.

Katie: Where?

Deacon: Here. You know, not everybody hated her the way you did, katie. I mean, she had friends here at work. She was funny. She was generous. I mean, I know you never saw that side of her, so I don’t expect you to understand.

Brooke: You do understand why we need to decline.

Deacon: Absolutely. It’s gonna be small, but I am gonna reach out to hope and finn.

Hope: It is nice when we get to do things together, isn’t it?

Liam: Yeah, it’s been a minute, hasn’t it? Uh, schedule might look a little different now, so if it starts to feel a little emptier, I’ll be around.

Beth: Can we go see the baby hippo at the zoo?

Liam: What– what? There’s– there’s a baby hippo at the zoo?

Beth: Can we go this weekend?

Hope: Sure, if your dad isn’t too busy.

Liam: Are you kidding me? Let me tell you something. Do you know what my two favorite things in the whole universe are? You and baby hippos. So, I think it’s settled. And maybe if daddy takes enough anti-nausea medication, we can even ride the carousel!

Beth: Yay! I can’t wait!

Liam: I can’t wait either!

Finn: We’ve said enough about hope and thomas. And debating their relationship, it’s just gonna cause tension in ours, and I don’t want that.

Steffy: I– I get that you feel for hope. Like, I had to defend my brother. I didn’t like the way hope was treating him.

Finn: So, you convinced him to leave town and end his relationship with her?

Steffy: No. No, I encouraged him. It was his decision. It was a courageous one, a healthy one and I support it. 100%. Look, if– you don’t have to. We don’t always have to agree. But I don’t want to, like, tiptoe around each other. Like, our– our marriage shouldn’t be fragile, you know? We should be there for each other. Loving each other. If you spit blood when you brush,

Liam: Okay, I want to know, were there any scary parts in the movie?

Beth: Yeah, but I wasn’t scared. Laurel was. I held her hand, told her, good guys always win.

Liam: Oh, my god. See, do you know, you get that from your mother.

Hope: Aw, aren’t we lucky to share such a sweet, smart, funny little girl?

Liam: Yes, we are.

[ Phone chimes ] Uh.

Hope: Ha, guess what? Alexis is ready. You gonna help her pick out some fabric swatches?

Beth: Yes.

Liam: Oh, my god, my daughter is busier than I am. Come here! You have the best, best, best, best time, okay?

Beth: I love you, daddy.

Liam: I love you too. More than the alphabet will let me tell you.

Hope: Um, don’t worry, we’re gonna see him this weekend, okay?

Liam: Yeah, it’s nice to have something to look forward to.

Hope: Uh, will you stick around? I’ll be right back.

Liam: Yeah, mm-hmm.

Hope: All right, lead the way.

Hollis: Ladies, is there anything else I can get for you?

Brooke: Ah, no, this is great, thank you. Good to see you.

Hollis: Good to see you too, brooke.

Deacon: How’s everything taste?

Donna: Oh, really good.

Brooke: Yeah, it’s delicious.

Deacon: Okay.

Brooke: Oh, wait, we didn’t mean to be cruel.

Deacon: No, no, no, of course not, I know.

Katie: Look, it’s just– I’m sure hope is being supportive, but asking her to celebrate sheila’s life, I just– I think that’s a mistake.

Donna: Yeah, and you probably shouldn’t count on finn either.

Deacon: I don’t know about that, donna. I mean, I think there’s always been a connection between sheila and finn. I mean, it’s like a undeniable bond.

Katie: Sheila caused him so much pain. She was a constant threat to his family. I mean, I can’t imagine that there’s any memory of her that he would want to recall.

Deacon: Well, he’s still her son, and I think he deserves to know about his birth mother’s memorial.

[ Phone rings ]

Steffy: The hospital?

Finn: No. This is dr. Finnegan.

Deacon: Hey, finn, uh, it’s deacon. Hi.

Finn: Deacon, hey.

Deacon: Listen, I know you’re busy, you’ve got a lot going on with the family, but I wanted to give you a heads up. I’m gonna be having a memorial service for sheila.

Finn: Oh.

Deacon: Yeah, it’s gonna be here at the restaurant. It’s gonna be small. I’ve only told a couple people. Look, I know things with you and sheila were complicated, even more so now with everything that’s gone on. With the way sheila passed, I… finn, listen to me. She was your mother. She brought you into this world, and I know that she let you go, but she never forgot about you. Please try and stop by.

Finn: Yeah, um, I don’t know about that, deacon.

Deacon: You were so important to her. I know she’d want you here. You know, sheila could never have the relationship she wanted with you, but finn, I’m telling you, she loved you. She loved you more than anything in this world.

Finn: Well, uh, thanks for letting me know.

Steffy: Letting you know what? What was that about?

Finn: Um, sorry, I just– um, I wasn’t expecting that.

Steffy: Why did deacon call you?

Finn: He’s having a memorial service for sheila. And he wants me to be there.

Bother the bugs.

Brooke: What did finn say?

Deacon: Um, not much. He was kind of surprised.

Brooke: Okay, well, we just don’t want you to get your hopes up.

Deacon: Maybe a little better luck with my own kid.

Brooke: Oh, deacon.

Liam: Hey. Well, our daughter’s enthusiasm sure is infectious, isn’t it?

Hope: Yes, she was really excited to help alexis pick out some fabric.

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: I meant what I said earlier. We’re really lucky to have such a smart, just kind, funny, and happy little girl.

Liam: We are. We should be– we should be grateful every day.

[ Phone rings ]

Hope: Uh, sorry. Hey, dad.

Deacon: Hey, daughter. You got a minute?

Hope: Uh, yeah, sure. Um, sure. How are you? I’ve been thinking about you.

Deacon: That’s sweet. I’ve been hanging in there.

Hope: Me too.

Deacon: Listen, I know that this is not a great subject for us, but you’ve been so supportive lately.

Hope: Are you calling about sheila?

Deacon: Hope, I know you were never gonna accept sheila in my life.

Hope: Well, I know you cared about her, and you miss her.

Deacon: I do. Which is why I’m calling. I’m gonna have a memorial service for her here at the restaurant soon.

Hope: For sheila?

Deacon: Yeah, um, look, um, no pressure, all right? I just– you’ve really been there for me.

Hope: Dad, I…

Deacon: Look, you know, I know it’s a lot to ask. I just wanted to extend the invitation.

Hope: I mean, I’m kind of in the middle of something right now, so I don’t really have an answer for you, but could i take some time?

Deacon: Yeah, yeah, of course. And if it makes any difference, I invited finn too.

Hope: So he’s gonna be there?

Deacon: I don’t know. Maybe. But it sure would mean a lot if you were. Think about it.

Hope: I will.

Liam: Well, that was… interesting from my point of view. Everything okay?

Hope: Yeah, uh, my dad just extended an invitation. You’ll never guess to where.

Steffy: Is deacon out of his mind? What is he thinking?

Finn: I– I don’t know.

Steffy: He wants you to go to sheila’s memorial at il giardino. The place where she shot us and left us to die?

Finn: The irony’s not lost on me either. I mean, it’s his restaurant, she worked there. I mean, he— he sounded pretty broken up about it.

Steffy: Well, he should keep his grief to himself.

Finn: He didn’t pressure me, steffy. He assumed I would say no.

Steffy: Then why would he call you? I mean, if he actually believes that you’re gonna go, then he’s a bigger fool than I thought.

Finn: Well, it never occurred to me that there would even be a service.

Steffy: There shouldn’t be a service. Not for sheila. Finn, we were just talking about this. That we should concentrate on us. Our future. Our family. Sheila caused so much pain. She tore our family apart. Tell me this is over. Tell me you’re not gonna go to sheila’s memorial. (Chef vo) fancy feast.

Brooke: You spoke to hope.

Deacon: I’ll tell you, that kids blows me away with her compassion.

Brooke: Yeah.

Deacon: Asked how I was doing, first thing.

Katie: You told her about the memorial service?

Deacon: Yeah, I did. It– it kinda caught her off guard. Seems like everybody’s pretty much forgotten about sheila. I mean, I don’t even know if hope’s gonna come.

Brooke: You can’t pressure her or guilt trip her.

Deacon: No, no way. I would never do that.

Katie: She likes to please people. If she senses that you’re hurting– I am hurting. It hurts like hell. I miss sheila. You know, I thought I could help her. I thought I could give her a fresh start. And hope has been so supportive. She’s been so caring and helpful. You know what she did the minute she found out? She came over here to make sure that I wasn’t alone. I mean, that, it– it meant the world to me. And it would mean a lot to me if she was here for the service.

Liam: So, how are you? You okay?

Hope: Oh, just a little blindsided.

Liam: Yeah, I’ll bet. Deacon can’t expect you to– to attend sheila’s memorial.

Hope: Well, he did ask me to be there for him.

Liam: Yeah, no, I know. You’ve been there for him. This is a whole other level. Asking you to sit around and listen to a bunch of his employees say nice things about the boss’s psycho girlfriend.

Hope: I just– I think he needs to say goodbye in his own way.

Liam: Yeah, I know. Some of us need to say good riddance in our own way.

Hope: I feel the same way, liam.

Liam: Okay.

Hope: I was not a fan of sheila’S. I mean, I already lost so much time with my dad, and then she drove a wedge between us even more, and not to mention all of the horrific things that she has done to people I care about.

Liam: Hope, just say no. You don’t have to do it. Nobody else is gonna go to this thing.

Hope: Well, he– he did invite finn.

Liam: You think finn’s gonna go?

Hope: I don’t know. But after all of the things that sheila’s put him through, I, um, but at the same time, that is his birth mother. And if there’s anyone who might want to pay his respects, it– it might be finn.

Steffy: There’s no reason for you to attend. Deacon’s crazy to ask.

Finn: Well, maybe it’s his way of closing the chapter.

Steffy: The chapter’s closed, finn. Look, I understand that this is difficult for you. She’s your birth mother. You have some kind of connection, but she’s– she’s gone. She died. She died right here, and we’re both struggling with that. Deacon should be aware of that.

Finn: He just told me what he’s planning, that’s all.

Steffy: Well, going there is gonna remind us of what happened. Sheila coming here, she chose to hurt me, she wanted to kill me, and I had to defend myself. Have we forgotten? She came here. I didn’t want to do anything, but I had no choice. Like, what do you expect?

Finn: I know. I know all this. Honey, I do not blame you for her death.

Steffy: No, I just– I want to put it behind us. Because I want to feel like she can’t hurt us anymore.

Finn: Sweetheart, she can’T. Okay? I’m sorry– I’m sorry that this is still so difficult. We’re gonna be okay. There’s no reason to dredge all this up. You know where I stand. Right? With you. Our family. You’re my priority.

Steffy: I’m gonna get ready and go to the office.

Finn: Okay.

Steffy: I love you.

Finn: I love you.

Finn: Mom, thank you. You saved her. Steffy, where’s sheila?

Steffy: Sheila’s dead.

Deacon: You were so important to her. I know she’d want you there. You couldn’t have the relationship that she wished for, but she loved you, finn. More than anything in this world.

Steffy: You know what sheila did. The pain she caused our families. But it’s over now. Tell me it’s over. You won’t go to sheila’s memorial.

Cole: So, claire didn’t tell anyone she was going out by herself?

Victoria: Just one of the guards. But she wouldn’t say where she was going, which put all of these horrible thoughts into my head.

Cole: About jordan?

Victoria: She’s out there somewhere.

Cole: Yeah, I know. And I completely understand why everyone is on such high alert. But the whole world is looking for jordan. I mean, she can’t hide forever.

Victoria: I know that. But every time we find her, she seems to slip away. She’s evil, cole. She’s diabolical. Sometimes, I wonder if she’s even human. And when I couldn’t find claire, I–

Cole: Okay, but it worked out. She came home.

Victoria: Yeah, this time.

Cole: We can’t keep her in a bubble, vic. She’s not a little girl anymore. She is a grown woman who’s trying to overcome a lifetime of brainwashing. So, she’s– she’s– she’s hoping that she can find her place in this world. I mean, she has a new home, a new family, not to mention there’s a crazy woman out there somewhere who’s planning god knows what. It is a lot to throw at somebody all at once. And I think claire is handling it beautifully. I mean, she’s smart, she’s careful, she’s resourceful. And she’s a lot stronger than we think. So, I say, let’s give her some slack. I’m sorry. That? Was I delivering a sermon just now?

Victoria: No. Once again, you were– you were telling me exactly what I needed to hear.

Mariah: Oh, my god, we got it.

Tessa: No.

Mariah: Yeah! Oh, my god! That’s amazing!

Victoria: I wonder what that’s all about.

Mariah: Cheers.

Phyllis: Hey.

Billy: Oh. Hey. Slow down. Bartender’s not going anywhere.

Phyllis: Just, it’s been a day.

Billy: Yeah?

Phyllis: Yeah.

Billy: I’ve had a few of those myself lately. What do you say? You want to belly up and commiserate?

Phyllis: Oh, not tonight.

Billy: Really? Old friends? Solve the world’s problems?

Phyllis: Wouldn’t that be something?

Billy: Yeah. Come on, I’m buying.

Phyllis: Maybe another time.

Billy: Just be careful, okay? Because I see you gearing up for a heck of a headache tomorrow morning, so let me do this. Let me get one of your famous hangover concoctions. I’ll get it sent up to your room. At least it’ll be there bright and early, just in case you need it. Hm? No?

Heather: We, uh, we knew this was a possibility.

Daniel: Absolutely.

Heather: So, we just have to keep remembering what’s important, which is that our family is reunited, and you and I, you and I are where we’re supposed to be, where we should have been all along.

Daniel: And we’re unemployed.

Heather: And unemployed.

Daniel: It would have been nice if this had happened before I dumped all that money into redecorating my new place.

Heather: I definitely should have gotten a less expensive car when I got back from portugal.

Daniel: Oh, lily did promise both of us severance packages.

Heather: She did, I know, but that will only last so long. We need a plan moving forward.

Daniel: Definitely need a plan.

Heather: Definitely. What’s your idea for the first move?

Daniel: I was hoping you had some ideas. Looking for a smarter way to mop?

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Cole: Hey!

Mariah: Hi!

Tessa: Hi!

Victoria: So, what’s the celebration?

Cole: Yeah, did somebody win the lottery or what?

Mariah: Oh, no, so much better than that. Do you want to show ’em?

Tessa: Yeah.

Mariah: Okay.

Tessa: Here.

Victoria: Oh!

Cole: Oh, nice.

Victoria: It’s a house.

Mariah: It’s not just any house.

Tessa: It’s our house. We closed today.

Victoria: Wow! Great!

Cole: Congratulations!

Victoria: That’s wonderful.

Tessa: Thank you so much.

Mariah: Yeah, we were spending all of our spare time going to one open house after another and we just couldn’t find anything that fit.

Tessa: Yeah. Until we found this one. It has a yard and a big playroom for aria.

Mariah: And oh, there’s this little loft area. We’re going to turn this into a music room for my insanely talented wife.

Tessa: It’s just perfect.

Mariah: We are officially living the dream. Um, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realize. Here we are going on and on about our new house and you just lost yours.

Victoria: No, you don’t have to apologize.

Mariah: No, victoria, it was insanely insensitive. I’m sure that was devastating.

Victoria: Yes, it was. But, um, you know, we’ll always have those memories and no one can take that away from me. And someday there will be a new house and new memories. So, you guys should enjoy this moment. I’m very happy for you. Congratulations.

Cole: Yeah.

Mariah: Thank you.

Tessa: I know what you mean about memories. I was looking around at the tack house today and it hit me all at once that this will always be aria’s first home. Her room, her crib, all those nights checking in on her to make sure she was okay.

Mariah: Oh, yeah.

Tessa: I know it’s time to leave, but it’s going to be hard, you know?

Victoria: Yes, I do know.

Cole: Well, you know, victoria and I used to live together in the tack house back in the day.

Mariah: Shut up! Really?

Cole: Yeah, absolutely. So, you know, does the upstairs shower handle still stick?

Victoria: I’m pretty sure that it’s been through a few remodels since then. You probably wouldn’t even recognize the place.

Cole: Oh, I don’t know about that. I mean, they can knock down a few walls and move some furniture around, but I’m still pretty sure that what made it a really great place is still there.

Mariah: Well, I have an idea. Why don’t you guys come see for yourselves?

Tessa: Yeah!

Cole: No, no, no, it’s okay. I’m sure you ladies have a lot of packing to do.

Mariah: No, no. We have three days until we move into the new place.

Tessa: And a bottle of champagne that we would love to share.

Mariah: Yeah, this is true. It would be our pleasure.

Victoria: So, how do you feel about a trip down memory lane?

Heather: Okay, time to get serious.

Daniel: Agreed.

Heather: I’ll give michael a call in the morning. He will know if there’s any firms around town who are looking to hire, and, uh, christine, she probably still has some connections at the da’s office. I could go back there. It’s worth a shot.

Daniel: Okay, good. Cool. And what am I going to be doing while you’re running around town prosecuting or defending criminals?

Heather: You’re going to wait for the right opportunity. I don’t want you to just have to settle on anything. I really want you to find something you’re passionate about. Like omegasphere.

Daniel: Well, that train has left the station.

Heather: I just can’t believe that you’re not feeling this more deeply.

Daniel: I am feeling it. There’s nothing I can really do about it. When I signed over omegasphere to chancellor-winters, the deal was I would continue to run it. I would no longer own it, and now I’m no longer running it either.

Heather: I don’t know who will. I mean, who do you think will?

Daniel: That’s not my choice to make.

Heather: Well, whoever they do hire, they will not have the same vision and talent that you did, and they won’t have poured their heart and their soul into that place. There’s no way they could have inspired a game like princess louisa, which you created for lucy, our daughter. Where do you find something like that?

Daniel: I don’t know. Maybe you don’T. Maybe that’s, uh, one to a customer.

Heather: I don’t believe that and I really don’t think you do deep down. Okay, this is more than just losing a job. This is like losing a part of yourself. And I understand. I’m sorry. I don’t mean to make you feel worse.

Daniel: No, you’re right. It’s fine. I mean, up until now, I hadn’t really let myself think about what I was giving up, but omegasphere, princess louisa, they helped get me through losing my family. They also helped bring both of you back to me again. I mean, that platform, that game, that was my salvation. I couldn’t replace that if I tried.

Phyllis: You used to be better at reading the room, billy.

Billy: No, I’m not an idiot. No, I get it. I know you don’t want me here, but I was just thinking maybe our snarky little back and forth could pull you out of your funk.

Phyllis: Who says I’m in a funk?

Billy: Your face does.

Phyllis: What about your funk?

Billy: Mine?

Phyllis: Yeah. Last time I talked to you, you were locked in some power struggle with the winters family. You know? That can’t be fun.

Billy: Look at us, huh? We’re having a conversation now.

Phyllis: Yeah, I mean, you are outnumbered by them. You really are. Just you against the winters family. You’re just trying to get a little credit, right? Trying to get some respect and some love. Not having any success at any turn. And then, you’re labeled difficult. Yeah. Difficult. And that’s how people see you from there on out, just difficult.

Billy: Oh, I get it. We’re not talking about me anymore, are we?

I have moderate to severe

crohn’s disease.

Billy: Thank you very much.

Phyllis: Honestly, billy, I couldn’t care less if people think that I’m difficult. You, on the other hand…

Billy: Will be just fine.

Phyllis: So you say.

Billy: Oh, I know. I will be just fine at work. That’s not gonna be a problem. It’s your son that you should be concerned about.

Phyllis: Why? What happened?

Billy: Have you not talked to daniel yet today?

Phyllis: No, no, I haven’T. Just tell me, what happened?

Billy: Well, I’m just gonna assume that you know that daniel and heather are back together.

Phyllis: I know. Yeah, of course I know. I mean, of course he– yeah. I mean, I’m gonna take a little credit for, you know, making that happen.

Billy: Yeah, that’s not surprising. Well, while you’re busy patting yourself on the back, you should know that there’s fallout to this grand love story.

Phyllis: What fallout?

Billy: Repercussions, phyllis. You know, not only to the company, but to the people involved. Like lily. She was the last one to know. And I’m sure you can appreciate she’s having a difficult time with it.

Daniel: I took my eye off the ball. When I signed away omegasphere to chancellor-winters, I thought I was gonna be building my brand and helping to secure my future. It just didn’t occur to me what I could be losing. Especially princess louisa. But, I mean, of course they’d want that, too, right? I mean, why wouldn’t they? That’s the most successful game that they have. And now they can take it and they can assign the character to anyone. They can spin her off in directions that would be totally wrong.

Heather: Because they don’t know her or who she represents.

Daniel: How did I let this happen?

Heather: No. Daniel. You didn’t do anything wrong. We didn’t do anything wrong. We fell back in love. That was our crime. And lily is going to make us pay for it by taking away the one thing that she knows will hurt us the most.

Daniel: The irony is that platform was all supposed to be about empowerment. Helping you work through your obstacles. I mean, it definitely helped me overcome mine and now it’s all being taken away from me right after it achieved its purpose of bringing my family back.

Heather: Maybe there’s a chance that we can get it back.

Daniel: You know, the contract’s pretty straightforward. Chancellor-winters, they own omegasphere outright. And I’m pretty sure that lily is not going to be feeling very generous right about now.

Heather: We have to try anyway.

Daniel: Heather.

Heather: No, daniel, this is too important. Okay, maybe we don’t get the platform back, but we at least have to fight for princess louisa. For lucy’s sake. You cannot just let this go.

Victoria: Oh, good. You’re still up and all dressed.

Claire: Why? What’s going on?

Cole: Well, you know how you’re always asking questions about your mother and me and the life you missed?

Claire: Yes, and I still feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface.

Cole: Well, actually, instead of telling you stories, we could show you.

Claire: Show me what?

Victoria: Where it all began for us.

If you have wet amd,

Mariah: Hi, guys.

Tessa: Great, you made it!

Mariah: The champagne is on ice, so come on in.

Victoria: Thank you. Thank you.

Cole: Thanks for having us.

Mariah: Hi.

Claire: Hi.

Mariah: I’m sorry that everything is such a mess. It’s amazing how much stuff you accumulate.

Tessa: Yeah, especially with the baby who outgrows her clothes every five minutes.

Victoria: I understand. I’ve been there. Well, when you invited us over, cole and I thought it would be nice if we brought our daughter to see where we used to live. I hope that’s all right.

Tessa: Oh, my gosh, of course it is.

Mariah: Hi. You must be claire. I’m mariah. We’ve heard so much about you.

Claire: Well, then I guess I should probably begin with an apology.

Mariah: No, absolutely not. There are no judgments or apologies in this house. Tessa and I have done many things over the years that we are not particularly proud of.

Claire: Okay.

Tessa: Well, maybe we should go out for margaritas one night, get to know each other for real, not just the dramatic headlines.

Mariah: Oh, absolutely. Sounds like a plan to me.

Cole: You’re right. It is different.

Victoria: I told you.

Cole: It’s just funny how you can envision a place in your head and it always stays the same. It’s like time stood still. You know, that was the breakfast table right over there.

Claire: I still can’t imagine you guys living here together.

Cole: Well, we weren’t just living here. This is the place where your mother and I fell in love.

Daniel: I don’t want to turn this into a war. I hurt lily. There’s no way around that.

Heather: Lily has every right to be angry, on a personal level. She has no right to go after your business and your creation.

Daniel: The contract I signed says otherwise.

Heather: I want to see it.

Daniel: How is that going to help?

Heather: I’m an attorney, remember? Maybe there’s a case for unlawful termination. Maybe we can peel off some of omegasphere’s assets, put it in a separate entity. I won’t know until I see it.

Daniel: I don’t know.

Heather: Look, daniel, if lily wants to keep the platform, but give you back princess louisa, that’s a fair trade. That is a decent thing to do in a situation like this. And if she doesn’t, any good lawyer will tell you there is a case here.

Daniel: Right. So, you’re telling me we’re going to file a case that basically says I broke lily’s heart and now she’s trying to punish me for it. That’s so personal and so humiliating.

Heather: Is it any different than what devon and lily are doing right now, trying to cheat you out of something that you created? No, it’s not. And if they’re going to play hardball, we can play just as hard. This is not right, daniel. You deserve to keep your dream.

Billy: Lily’s hurt, phyllis. She feels betrayed, and she’s not in the mood to play nice.

Phyllis: Well, what does that mean exactly?

Billy: It means that the last time I saw lily and devon together, they were discussing firing daniel and heather.

Phyllis: Whoa, what?

Billy: I tried to talk them out of it, but they’re not listening, okay? So, you might want to give daniel a heads-up.

Phyllis: That’s outrageous.

Billy: Well, I know. I agree.

Phyllis: Omegasphere is daniel’s baby, and what, she wants to fire him because of some relationship issue? Really? Is lily that petty? Oh, my god, that’s– if somebody wants out of a relationship, if it’s not working for them, you just acknowledge that and let them go and wish them luck in their life. You don’t turn into a snake and go for the throat. I mean, you don’t make vengeance your number-one priority. I mean, that is so childish. Shut up. Ahh. It’s a good day to cough. Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Mariah: Right?

[ Tessa laughs ]

Tessa: Mm. Uh oh.

Mariah: Yep, that sounds like an “I’m not going back to bed anytime soon” cry.

Tessa: No, I’ll go up.

Mariah: No, no, no, we’ll do a two-person job. You distract her, I’ll change her.

Tessa: Okay, okay.

Both: Excuse us.

Tessa: Yeah, sorry.

Victoria: No, it’s not a problem. Hey.

Cole: Hmm?

Victoria: What are you thinking?

Cole: You and me living here.

Victoria: Yeah. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Cole: Yeah. We did have some times, though, didn’t we?

Victoria: Yeah, we had some good times.

Cole: And some that weren’t so good.

Victoria: You remember when we had that fight and you stormed out of the house right into that blizzard?

Cole: Yeah, and then you locked me out.

Victoria: No, I did not lock you out. I thought you were off sulking somewhere, so I went upstairs and went to bed. You’re lucky that I looked out the window and saw you shivering out there in the snow.

Cole: Never leave the house in the winter when you’re not wearing pants. That’s a free tip.

Victoria: Well, at least I took pity on you and I let you back in.

Cole: You know, yes, you did, and I was very grateful for that.

Claire: What were you two arguing about?

Cole: Uh, gee, actually, I don’t remember. It was probably something stupid.

Victoria: Yeah, we weren’t exactly the maturest of adults back then.

Cole: Yeah, well, you speak for yourself. No, your mom was right. We were just kids.

Claire: Sounds like you two were very much in love.

Cole: Yeah, we were.

Victoria: So, what do you think of the place?

Claire: I like it.

Victoria: Yeah, I thought you might. It’s pretty special, isn’t it?

Claire: And I can imagine the two of you being happy here.

Mariah: Well, look at who’s awake!

Claire: Oh!

Cole: Hey!

Mariah: Say hi, everybody.

Claire: Hi! Aria, good morning. Do you mind if I…

Mariah: Oh, no, absolutely not. Here. There you go. It’s a baby.

Claire: It’s your baby. Can I say hi? Hey, big girl.

Mariah: Wow.

Claire: Wow, you’re so big. Good morning. Are you having a good day today, are you? My name is claire. It’s very nice to meet you.

[ Claire giggles ]

Phyllis: Devon and lily, they are so drunk in power. That’s why their company is sinking like a rock.

Billy: Except it’s not. It’s not sinking at all.

Phyllis: Well– it doesn’t– they have no right to do this to my son.

Billy: Phyllis, he cheated on lily while she was taking care of her daughter.

Phyllis: With the mother of his child, the love of his life.

Billy: It doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt, okay? You can’t just ignore that part.

Phyllis: Okay, we’ve all been through this. Every single person in this town. Come on, this is nothing new.

Billy: Sure, yeah.

Phyllis: This is what I’m saying, is… devon and lily… oh, god. They have doled out their share of romantic misery. They’re such hypocrites. I mean, to do this to daniel and heather because they’re trying to put their family back together? This is obscene.

Daniel: I need to think about this.

Heather: I know you do, and I, um… I don’t mean to push you.

Daniel: You’re not pushing. You’re just reminding me of what I’m about to lose, and the more I think about it, the more upset I get.

Heather: Yeah. I think you and I were probably in denial about what would happen when lily found out. We were just so relieved to be back together and not having to hide our love for each other that we didn’t really focus on the repercussions.

Daniel: Well, I’m wide awake and laser-focused now.

Claire: That was really fun. Thank you for including me.

Cole: So, you weren’t bored with all of our old stories?

Claire: Are you kidding? I loved them. I want to hear more. Was that the first time you two have been back there together?

Cole: Yeah, yeah. It’s been a long time.

Claire: Didn’t seem that way from the way you were talking.

Cole: Yeah, well, it was a pretty important time for both of us. I mean, ultimately, it led to having you.

Claire: Yeah, that could have been my house if… mom?

Victoria: Hm?

Claire: You’ve just– you’ve been really quiet on the walk back. Is everything okay?

Victoria: Yeah. Yes, everything’s okay.

Cole: If I may interpret, your mother gets a certain look in her eye when she has an idea that turns out to be a pretty big one. Am I right?

Victoria: You can still read me pretty well, can’t you?

Cole: Oh, well, glad I haven’t lost my touch. So, what is it?

Victoria: Well, this might sound a little bit crazy, but it could also be really incredible. What would you think about living in the tack house? At tj maxx, you can afford to turn your closet

Heather: So, that’s all your mom said. Meet me for a drink?

Daniel: And that it was important, so we can assume she’s heard the news.

Heather: Which news? The getting back together part or the getting fired part?

Daniel: Probably both.

Heather: Good, let’s go.

Daniel: Yeah, no, I’m not really interested in a lecture from my mother this evening.

Heather: Who said it’s going to be a lecture?

Daniel: Me, from years and years of knowing her.

Heather: Phyllis has been our biggest cheerleader. She probably just wants to congratulate us.

Daniel: And the losing our jobs part?

Heather: A show of support.

Daniel: Wow. You are an optimist.

Heather: And you and I could both use a drink, so… so, we’re going.

Daniel: Hm. Let’s go.

Heather: Okay.

Daniel: Get your purse, get your coat.

Heather: Okay, all right.

Billy: You know, you’re getting very upset over something that hasn’t happened yet.

Phyllis: Okay, well, you said that lily’s going to fire my son.

Billy: I said it’s heading in that direction. Maybe they will have a change of heart.

Phyllis: Oh, god. My son created omegasphere. That’s his baby. I mean, he’s going to be crushed. And, hey, listen, let’s just call it what it is. I’m in that division. We both know I’m going to get pink-slipped. What a mess that company is. What a mess.

Billy: Oh, I wouldn’t go that far.

Phyllis: Oh, come on. Don’t be a company man right now, billy.

[ Phyllis sighs ] That place is a dumpster fire. You’re sitting right in the middle of it. What you need right now are allies, not foes. You need allies because you’re just sitting there just waiting for the time for them to pick you off, which they will do when the time is right for them.

Claire: You want me to move?

Victoria: Well, you liked the tack house, didn’t you?

Claire: Yeah, it’s great. It’s just… did I do something wrong?

Victoria: No.

Claire: Because I would understand if I’d overstayed my welcome or if you just didn’t want me around all the time.

Victoria: What? No. No, no, no. That’s not what I meant at all. No, you would– you would be moving there with me. I would move with you, and then johnny and katie could join us later.

Claire: Oh.

Victoria: I don’t want you to ever think that you’re not welcome wherever we go. You’re family. You should never forget that.

Claire: Thank you.

Cole: You know, I think it’s a great idea. It’s a really good space. And you still are right here on the newman property, so you have access to all of victor’s security.

Victoria: And I have been a little worried about johnny and katie coming home from spring break and not having a house to come home to. I mean, I love that they want to spend a lot of time with mom and dad, but, I mean, the five of us in the main house together could get a little stressful, and this way you guys could get to know each other.

Claire: I’d really like that, but how would they feel about me being there?

Victoria: Well, I’ve already told them all about you. They’re really anxious to meet their big sister.

Claire: Big sister. I still can’t believe I have siblings.

Victoria: You’re going to be so great with them. Just like you were with aria tonight. You know, she’s a real natural with children.

Claire: This all just, it’s a little overwhelming.

Victoria: I know. And I’m sorry if I just dumped it on you like this, but after we ran into mariah and tessa and they told us that they were moving, I just felt that it was the universe sending us a message.

Cole: To live the dream.

Victoria: Yeah. And it can be our home. You know, a place where we can all come together. And cole, you’re welcome to come as often as you like.

Cole: Thank you.

Victoria: And claire, it’ll be a place to give you space and time to plan the rest of your life. But you have time to think about it, of course. There’s no rush.

Claire: So, when can we move?

[ Victoria sighs ] Oh, it’s nice. It’s starting to get warm.

Cole: Yeah, spring’s a-coming, all right.

Victoria: Yeah.

Cole: You know, I hadn’t thought about that blizzard night for years.

Victoria: You were so mad.

Cole: I thought I was gonna turn into a snowman. I mean, it was freezing outside. And, but, you know, then we made up. It was always really nice whenever we made up.

Victoria: Do you think that I’m doing the right thing with claire and the tack house?

Cole: Absolutely. You’re giving her a chance to have a home and to really be a part of a family for the first time in her life.

Victoria: Yeah. And it’s a chance for us to see her become whoever she wants to be. I know we can never get back those years that we lost with her, but at least this is a second chance for us to watch our daughter grow up.

Cole: And for you to be her perfect role model.

Victoria: Oh, well, I am far from perfect, as you well know.

Cole: No. You’re an incredible woman, victoria. An amazing mother. An amazing woman. I mean, there’s just, there’s just no other word for it. And you take my breath away about a dozen times a day.

Did you know…

Cole: I better get going.

Victoria: Yeah. Thanks for tonight, cole.

Cole: Thank you. I had a great time. Um… you know, um… having you in my life has changed everything. And I never want to go back to the way things were. I just needed you to know that.

Phyllis: Hey, look at the happy couple. My goodness.

Daniel: Hi, mom.

Phyllis: Hey.

Daniel: Hi.

Phyllis: Yeah, you know, billy and I were just talking about how excited I was when you told me that you and heather were back together.

Daniel: Right. Yes.

Heather: Mm-hmm.

Daniel: How very excited you were.

Phyllis: Yeah. Uh, we were also discussing, um, how your jobs might be on the line.

Daniel: Oh, there’s, uh, there’s no, no maybe about that. Lily pulled the trigger. Um, we’ve both officially been fired.

Billy: Um, just so you both know, I was not involved in that decision.

Daniel: I know, billy. Thank you. I appreciate it. Um, and before you even ask, I have no idea what this means for your position at chancellor-winters.

Phyllis: Oh, I don’t care about that. I’m more concerned about you.

Heather: I think daniel should fight this. At least hold on to princess louisa.

Phyllis: I agree.

Billy: So do I.

Phyllis: You do?

Billy: I think devon and lily are acting out of emotion to the detriment of the company. I think you got to do what you got to do.

Heather: You see? It isn’t just me. You need to fight to protect what’s rightfully yours, and we’re all behind you.

Mariah: So, what did you think of claire?

Tessa: Oh, uh, she was nice. A little shy, and great with the baby, which was not what I was expecting.

Mariah: Yeah. I think she’s trying to find her way.

Tessa: Hm. I mean, you would know.

Mariah: Yeah, I mean, it’s one thing to find your parents when you’re practically grown, but when it doesn’t get off on exactly the right foot.

Tessa: I mean, you and sharon seemed to work everything out. And from what I saw, claire and victoria seemed bonded. You know, like mother and daughter.

Mariah: Yeah, that’s true. Victoria was beaming.

Tessa: Aw.

Mariah: Oh, my goodness. Is that tad?

Tessa: Oh, I was wondering what happened to him. The last time I saw him, aria was trying to bathe him in pasta.

Mariah: Yeah, and he does look a little rough around the edges.

Tessa: Oh, but we should keep him, though, right?

Mariah: I mean, we can’t keep everything, tessa. The new place is big, but it’s not that big. And she’s already got her new toy, ginky. It’s the top dog right now.

Tessa: Oh, tad looks sad.

Mariah: Okay, fine, fine. We will keep tad for a little while longer.

Tessa: Good choice.

Mariah: We have new memories to make, and there’s gonna be new mementos in the new place. This is a beginning for us. You got lucky, tad.

Victoria: Is everything all right?

Claire: Yeah.

Victoria: Are we rushing this move? Is it too fast for you?

Claire: No. No, I’m really excited about the move. I just… I feel guilty that you put off your life so much for me.

Victoria: This is my life. There’s nothing that matters to me more than you.

Claire: And I really appreciate that. But you… you loved running newman. Don’t you miss it? Do you think it’s time you should think about getting back to work?

Victoria: No, it doesn’t feel right. If or when I’m ready, I will know.

Claire: And cole doesn’t seem too eager to end his sabbatical and go back to the U.K. For work, does he?

Victoria: Claire, we’ve just missed so many– so many years with you. You’re like a miracle to us. We want to dedicate this time in our lives to you.

Claire: And I’m so grateful for that, but… I can’t help wondering if maybe there’s something more going on?

Victoria: What do you mean?

Claire: I mean, just some of the looks between the two of you when we were at the house, talking about your past.

Victoria: I… I mean, I guess being in our old place might’ve just stirred up some memories.

Claire: Of when you were happy and in love?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Curtis exhales heavily ]

[ Grunts ]

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Gasps ] How long have you been able to do this?! Ohh! Nina in her office? Yes, mr. Cain, but — we did the same spread like two years ago. I want something for — I don’t know. You go to brooklyn and you check out the — I need to get back to you. Alright. Hey, madison. I was on a call. I’m sorry. I tried to explain that you didn’t want — just close the door on your way out, please. Thank you. You don’t have to pick on your assistant. I didn’t really give her a chance to announce me. I just came by to see what you were up to.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Siren wails ]

[ Indistinct conversations ] Uh, good afternoon. What can I do for you? I’m here to see detective bennet. Detective bennet: Right here. Dex heller. Nice to meet you. Follow me, mr. Heller. Have a seat. Commissioner devane asked me to interview you. I’m an instructor here at the police academy. I know. I looked you up. Did you, now? Yes, sir. I like to know who I’m dealing with. So do I. So why don’t we start with the obvious question then? Why do you want to become a police officer? Thank you, mommy! Okay. You’re welcome, sweetheart. Wow! This is a lot of work. It is, but it’s worth it. Trust me. Which layer first? Alright, well, the first thing we’re gonna do is put the pasta sauce in here. Very thin layer. I can do it! You can do it? Okay. Well, how about I do this and then you can spread it around a little bit? Yeah? Okay. What can i do? You can check the noodles and make sure they’re not too hot for her. Check them how? Touch them…mom. Just don’t pick them up, please. We don’t want you to tear them. Mm-hmm. You know, I might be insulted by that if I didn’t know that you guys were right. Oh. We’re lucky she’s so happy today. Ha!

[ Giggles ] Yeah, why are you so happy, mommy? Why wouldn’t I be happy? I’m with my girls! And my best friend is back. Jason, right? Thank you for coming by. Come. Please. Thank you for getting yourself a phone. I had to wrangle with your lawyer for a good 15 minutes before she would relay that message to you. Yeah. Diane is very cautious. Yeah. I don’t blame her. She has you as a client. I saw dante. He’s awake. And — it’s a relief. And you’re exonerated. It’s a relief for me, too. Even though you’re no longer facing capital-murder charges, you’re still in a great deal of trouble. And I’ve been giving your situation some thought. Okay. I think you and i have mutual goals.

Is jason coming for dinner? Um, probably not tonight, but soon. I want to meet him. Oh, honey, you know him. You just don’t remember him. Do you think he’ll remember me? I know he’ll remember you. I do. He’s gonna be so amazed at how much you’ve grown. So, I have information from another source that sonny was doing business with pikeman and then he suddenly stopped… which could be why he was being targeted. So, what can you tell me about pikeman’s internal organization and their areas of involvement? Nothing. Why not? Because I-I already know that you were part of it.

[ Sighs ] Anna… I-I can’T. Ah. Because of agent cates? Yeah? He’s on his way over.

[ Telephone rings ] Yes? Send him in. Speak of the devil. Hi. Oh. Thank you. Come on in, agent cates. Thank you for coming. You already know mr. Morgan.

[ Door closes ] You served in the army. Two tours in afghanistan, bagram, and kandahar. Then I was promoted to a post in germany. You were discharged for assaulting a superior officer. Yes, sir. But I can explain. It wasn’t a dishonorable discharge, so I’m guessing there was some level of provocation. Still, it’s a blemish on your record just the same. What’d you do after you got out? I worked private security. I see that on the application, but I don’t see any names or references. They were private clients — high-profile, rich. I signed non-disclosure agreements. Legitimate? Yes, sir. Corporate heads, politicians, silicon valley guys. What about your last employer? Corinthos coffee? It’s not included on the application. Why is that? Do you not consider that employer legitimate? Technically, yes. In reality, no. Auntie, I didn’t know you were here. Obviously! Where were you? I was in the kitchen dropping off a coconut cake for trina. It’s her favorite. Right, right. Now that you know about me. What about you?! Uh, well, you know, I have taken… a few steps lately, so, yeah.

[ Gasps ] Look. I know I need a lot more practice. This is great! Why on earth are you keeping this from your family? Especially your wife! I’ve had my hands full with the fall issue pulling crimson back from the brink. You know, carly did huge damage. The only damage that was done during carly’s tenure was by you, nina. You literally ripped out walls to try to sabotage that first issue, but it went out on time. All your major advertisers and designers and collaborators, they all stayed. There wasn’t a dip in sales or circulation. In fact, there was a little bit of a bump because people were kind of curious to see what carly would do. Well, if things were so wonderful, drew, then by all means, bring carly back, and I’ll just walk. You won’T. You’re not gonna wa– you’re not going anywhere, nina. You’re just a rich, spoiled brat. And although you can’t find true love or even a functional relationship, you do have everything that money can buy. Except for this. This magazine is mine. And you want it. You need it. And you need me. Because carly is long gone. Carly: Hey! Wait a minute. There’s supposed to be four of you. Mommy and amelia aren’t here. What?! April fool’s!

[ Gasps ] Ohh! [ Laughs ] Actually, amelia fell asleep on the drive over, so willow’s upstairs putting her down. Ohh. Oh, so we’re having lasagna. Mm-hmm. Joss and I made it! Uh, me too. Mommy helped. A little bit. A little bit. I want to help, too! Oh, well, the lasagna is already in the oven, but you guys can help me set the table. That’s not fun!

[ Laughter ] I get it, I get it, but if you guys help me, then we can play some “st wars.” Yeah! Josslyn: Mm-hmm. I get to be darth vader! Well, of course. Alright. Let’s go. Alright. Careful. Okay. Before jason turned himself in… he was with you, wasn’t he?

Auntie, of course, I planned to tell my wife. I planned to tell all of you. Just, um — just when I’m better able to walk. You do understand that, don’t you? I think I do. After I had my stroke, I had to relearn things, too. Not to the extent that you have, but I had to put effort into being whole again. Look at my life differently and think differently about my health. But the hardest thing for me to come to terms with wasn’t just physical — it was mental. Accepting that I couldn’t do everything on my own, that I, too, needed help… that I wasn’t invulnerable. I get it. This has motivated me more than ever. I — I just don’t want my family to have to witness me struggle, witness my baby steps. Ohh! Especially after everything that I’ve put everyone through. Just want to be further along.

[ Exhales sharply ] Baby… I am beyond thrilled and proud right now, and I just want the rest of the family to be able to experience the joy that I’m having right now! We’re all on this journey with you. What happens to you affects us, too. Especially portia. And you know she’s been trying to stay strong, holding it down. Let her have some of this joy. Baby steps or big steps. Let her experience it with you. Keeping secrets, even if your aim is true… …it can destroy a marriage. Carly: Jason didn’t say anything to me, but the quartermaine estate is a perfect place to hide. And you live at the gatehouse. Yeah. [ Sighs ] Willow and I were helping him. Willow? Yeah, and I know — I know I-I blindsided willow when I told her that jason was shot and needed her help, but, hey, mom, she stepped right up. I mean, she took care of his wounds. She made sure that he had the right medication. Willow’s the reason why jason had such a good recovery. Did jason say anything about where he’s been, what he’s been doing? No, not really. He just — he told me that he was picked up by somebody who has leverage over him and they had him working as a mercenary soldier. Did he say anything to you? Well, after the arraignment, jason went straight to see your father. I was there — and, surprise, surprise, so was ava.

[ Sighs ] Yeah, ava has been spending a lot of time with him these days. Yeah, a-and sonny thinks that ava is trustworthy but you and I are not, which gives you a pretty good idea how things went with jason. Obviously now dad realizes that jason didn’t shoot dante. He also knows that he was an informant for the fbi. An informant? Yeah. That’s what jason couldn’t tell me. And he didn’t say much more than that, which infuriated your father. And sonny called jason a traitor. I tried to calm him down. I tried to fix things. But it didn’t work. So jason and I left. Did jason say anything else? No. I mean, not — not really. We — we went to bobbie’s and we sat around and talked, but he didn’t say anything about where he’s been or about the fbi. And there’s a vacant room above bobbie’s, so that’s where jason’s gonna stay. Okay. Well, that’s good. It’s easier for him there than — than at the metro court or… the quartermaines’? Especially there.

[ Sighs ] And, mom, he’s — he’s been through something. I know. I know. I can see it. But jason’s gonna be okay. I mean, he is. He’s got a lot of people pulling for him. Yeah. Especially you, mom. I know this has been an emotional ride. I mean, are you — are you okay? I haven’t been this okay in a long time. I’ve already been kicked out of “star wars.”

[ Laughter ] Wiley needs you. Say no more.

[ Carly laughs ] Can I do anything to help? Oh, well, I have been entrusted with the salad, so you could help me with that. You got it. Hold on. Michael told me that you really put yourself on the line to help with jason. Thank you. Mr. Morgan. Can’t imagine why you’re here. I told him to come. Anna knows I’m working for you. I told her. That violates the terms of our agreement. You lied when we made our agreement. Why should I continue to honor that? Jagger. You chose not to tell me you knew me in high school. You knew my family. You knew my mother! And you engineered a scenario where I had to let her believe I was dead! What would it matter if I told you something you can’t remember? It’s too bad about your personal life, but you took this deal of your own volition, so don’t lecture me on the consequences of being you. You couldn’t find anybody else to go after pikeman? No one with your qualifications. No one I had leverage over who dropped in my lap. I don’t give a damn how you feel about this job. I only care that you get it done. I am gonna save us both some time. We could keep playing chicken — you threatening to leave. Me going to hr to start a search for a new editor in chief… or we could take all that energy and we could focus it on the fall issue. Oh, let– let’s be clear here.

We are not getting the fall issue out.

I’m getting the fall issue out because i am the driving force behind crimson. That’s why you begged me to come back. Oh. Wha– I don’t beg anybody, nina, least of all you. I came to you because there was a vacancy that I needed to fill. And I know how much you love this magazine. I thought it was a bit of a win-win. I’m open to the possibility of us working together because we both get something that we want. Can’t really be that easy for you, drew. I mean, jason blows back into town and suddenly there’s a “vacancy” in carly’s bed. You’re out. He’s in. It was my choice to end things with carly. Oh, no. You got out before carly could dump you. And you’re standing here telling me that you don’t want payback? What has payback ever gotten you?

Keeping secrets endedyour first marriage, and this one almost ended before it got started because of a secret. Baby, the marriages that work best are the ones where partners can share. They can lean on each other and go through the tough times together. Both you and portia are strong enough to handle anything. And your — your desire to protect is admirable, but you got to ask yourself, if you were portia, wouldn’t you want to know? Ahh. I’m home! Hi! Would you clarify what you meant when you said, “technically, yes, in reality, no”? I worked closely with mr. Corinthos. After a period of time,it became clear his business was not one I could support. Weren’t you there nearly two years? It took me a while to figure out how to go about it, but eventually I got out. I planned on leaving port charles for good, but… but what? But I didn’t like the idea of running away. So instead I went to see commissioner devane. She suggested I become a cop, so here I am. I was more afraid that I wouldn’t be able to treat jason correctly than about whatever legal jeopardy I’d be in. I was able to bandage him up and bring him antibiotics from the hospital, which lowered his risk of infection. You took a huge risk taking meds from the hospital. I won’t lie — I was really nervous when the shortage showed up on the computer. But michael called spinelli… and the shortage disappeared. Thankfully. Spinelli’s a good person to know. Well, so is jason. He helped save me from shiloh. Michael loves him. So do you. He’s important to this family. He is. But he was also a fugitive wanted for shooting a cop. And I know it wouldn’t occur to michael to not get involved, but I’m sure it occurred to you. Well, sometimes you have to put your own doubts aside and back the person you love. Michael has done that for me. It was my turn to do it for him. Well, I understand that because I know what it’s like to have that special of a relationship. You must be relieved now that jason’s back. So will he be alright now that the charges have been dropped? I-I still don’t understand what kind of trouble he was in or what’s happened to him. I don’t either. He has said very little. Really? I… I thought you and jason told each other everything. So, obviously jason’s cover is blown. He can no longer work at pikeman as “alan jacobs.” He can’t work there, but he still has value. How? They will have adjusted their protocols by now, and I’m sure that they’ve reallocated any personnel that ever came in contact with him. Maybe. But he knows too much. Pikeman’s gonna want to shut him up. Jason, you’re gonna stay here in port charles, out in the open. You want to use him as bait? I want to draw pikeman out. I’m not gonna be a walking target in my hometown, surrounded by people I care about. I’m not gonna let anybody wind up as collateral damage. Then be real careful. You know how pikeman operates. Draw them out. I’m willing to bet they’ll send someone senior to deal with you. We turn the tables, take them into custody, and incentivize them to give up whoever runs the company. How are you gonna “turn the tables”? I’m sure you’ll think of something. Jason, you have an impressive skill set and you’re good at improvising. So what’s it gonna be? Cooperate… …or we use the evidence we already have… and charge carly spencer with rico violations. And criminal conspiracy.

I’ll do what you want. As long as you leave carly alone. As long as you hold up your end, I have no use for carly. Alright. Let’s just… why don’t we clarify the objective now, please? Can we? Jason shouldn’t have involved you, anna. This is an fbi investigation. You’re not part of it. I am. We’ve already been over this, john. This is my jurisdiction I want in. The whole point of using jason is that he’s not an agent. How I use him is at my discretion. I am not gonna risk a leak or open the door to some inter-agency turf war at this late date. And you think any of that would apply to me? Why would it? Oh, come on, anna. You’re wsb… and so is pikeman. One of the great things about jason is that even when he can’t tell me what’s going on, I know I can trust him. He’ll let me in when he can, you know? There were so many times that he didn’t know what I was doing, and he trusted me anyway.

[ Laughs ] Yeah. Why do I feel like there’s something you want to say? I’m sorry. I didn’t want to bring it up, but… drew told me that you guys broke up. Oh. Wow. I mean, I didn’t know that drew

was gonna saysomething to you. Not that it’s a secret or anything. It’s not. I just — I just — I just didn’t know how it would feel when people found out. How is he? You know drew. He puts on a game face, but I know he was hurt. I love him. I do. And I miss him and… he went through so much with me and for me, and I really wanted to return that kind of loyalty. But… I didn’t know jason was gonna come back. Look. Drew is a good friend. Literally my lifesaver. And I-I hope he can put his own life back together and find something that matters to him. That is your problem, nina! When things don’t go your way, you actually — you focus on the wrong thing. Right now my problem is that I have a sanctimonious boss who barged into my office and now wants to lecture me about my shortcomings. Oh, I can’t believe I forgot to include “victimhood complex” in there. My bad. I’m sorry. I know nothing’s ever your fault, right? That’s how you justify your actions. When you lose something, you just go and try and take something from somebody else in return. Think about it for a second. You lost nelle, you lied to carly. Made her think that she lost sonny. You lost willow, you tried to send carly to prison. You’re still defending carly?! How pathetic, drew! The best decision you ever made was to fire carly and reinstate me. Why are you backtracking now? I’m not backtracking now, nina! I’m not rewriting history. I’ve got a very clear mind on what happened, and I have a very good memory. But that’s in the past, and we’re trying to move forward here, right? Haven’t you ever heard “living well is the best revenge”? Stella! This is a wonderful surprise. You’re staying for dinner, right? No, no, I just came by to leave trina a coconut cake. Uh, I left it in the kitchen. That’s so thoughtful of you. It’s her favorite. Thank you very much. My pleasure! And I hope you two have a wonderful evening. I’m sure you have a lot to catch up on. Buh-bye!

[ Stammers ]

[ Sighs ] She ran out of here so fast, I didn’t get a chance to tell her some good news. Dante woke up. That is good news. Yeah. It is. How’s he doing? He’s amazing. He’s weak, but he’s coherent. And sam and olivia, they’re over the moon. I’m really happy for them. Do you remember how excited I was when you finally woke up? I mean, I felt like I hadn’t taken a breath in months. And then you opened your eyes and…

[ Sighs ] Look at you now. I’d rather look at you.

[ Chuckles ] I’d rather look at that cake. Portia: Excuse me!

[ Laughs ]

Carly never wanted to be the editor of crimson. I talked her into it. She did it for me. Oh, and it didn’t feel good at all to show her the door? No. Nina, that — that is your petty way of thinking. To answer your question, I don’t want carly to suffer at all. I get nothing from that whatsoever. I win when I focus on myself and I build something for myself. I mean, if you could only do that, if you could only focus on your talents and what you have and get out of your own way, my god, you could probably eventually be happy. Happy? I was happy, drew. Happier than I’ve ever been in my life. You know why? Because I had a family. My surviving daughter was back in my life. I had two wonderful grandchildren. I was married to a man that I loved and who loved me. A job that I was great at. Two, in fact. And now what do I have? I have nothing. Except for crimson, which is all I started with in the first place. You bear no responsibility for those turn of events? Everything that you claimed carly had to begin with. Oh, I did not want anything from carly. Things just happened the way they happened. Yes, I take responsibility for keeping the truth about sonny being alive in nixon falls from his family. But once sonny remembered, it was his choice, and he chose me. I didn’t force him. It was sonny’s decision. So big on choice, aren’t you? So big on choice. What about accountability? Oh, you want to talk accountability? How about carly?! She chose to buy shares of aurora and commit a crime! But was she held accountable? No. Carly always gets a pass. She even had you take the fall for her! After you turned us in to the sec! Which was perfectly legal! But apparently unforgivable — for me. Now I’m exiled… from the man that I love and from the only family that I was ever able to call my own. Is that fair? Oh, josslyn! That’s so beautiful! Thank you. It smells like heaven. Yeah. No, it’s a great recipe. When did you learn how to cook lasagna? When’d you learn how to make anything from scratch?

[ Chuckles ] Dex was teaching me how to cook. And he’s really good at it. You miss him, huh? I’m trying not to. That’s all you had to say, huh? Hm. I know that I have to let it go, and — and, overall, I have. It’s just, you know, there’S… that part of me that’s waiting for a text or a call. Hm. What if he does text or call? I promised myself I wouldn’t answer.

[ Carly sighs ] I started out this interview asking you why you wanted to be a cop. Aside from you saying commissioner devane asked you to apply and stating that you wanted to stay in town, you haven’t answered the question. Yes, the commissioner suggested I join the force. I could have refused, but… I thought it over, and I realized… I missed that feeling I had back in the army. Which is what? Doing something good through service. The way I see it, being a cop is like being a soldier. You go through a lot of tough stuff, but it’s for a greater good and it’s about serving others. You took an oath to serve your country and the constitution in the military. Law-enforcement officers take an oath to support and defend the constitution and uphold the laws in their jurisdiction. Are you prepared to do that? Yes, sir. There’s another thing. I liked being a part of something bigger than myself. When I was in the army, the men and women I served with became my brothers and sisters. We were in it together, and we had each other’s backs. We were doing something real and important. It was — it was hard as hell and it was challenging. But we had a purpose. We believed in a cause so strongly… we put our lives on the line for it, and that gave my life meaning. To protect our way of life and our freedom was the goal. The goal in working private security and working for sonny was to make money. And that — that was a stupid and ugly reason to die. Anna: So now we get to the real reason behind your attitude towards me since you came to town. Am I part of your investigation? There’s no way to know. But we do know that pikeman has long-standing and unhealthy ties to the wsb. So you don’t like me poking around. Is that it? You’ve been just playing nice to keep tabs on me, to keep me in check. I can neither confirm nor deny, but the ties between pikeman and the wsb go back to your early days as an agent, anna, in the ’80s. I can tell you flat out — I’ve never had anything to do with pikeman. Jack brennan, who — who ended his rather brief tenure as head of the wsb by being shipped off to pentonville, he could tell you more. It’s alleged that he was running both pikeman and wsb. Unless you think that I’m the new head of pikeman… and that by packing him off to prison, I was making a big power grab. Anything is possible and falls within the scope of my investigation. I want pikeman and everyone affiliated with it to go down. That’s my focus. It’s mine, too! How do we do it?! Well, that is the billion-dollar question. Hopefully jason will get us an answer.

It took every ounce ofwillpower I had to make s–

[ Exhales sharply ] Curtis, hon– wait. Wait a second.

[ Exhales sharply ] Hm…

[ Exclaims ] Okay.

[ Groans ] Looks like I’m gonna need a little practice.

[ Both chuckle ] I could certainly use a good coach. Well, you got one. You’ve got one. -[ Grunts ] -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Yep.

[ Grunts ]

[ Curtis sighs ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Portia laughing ] I’d almost believe you if i hadn’t personally experienced your version of payback. And I don’t know. Maybe you have seen the light. Maybe you’re the kinder, gentler drew of old. But I somehow doubt it. I think the rage and the anger is still in there somewhere. I wonder… if there was a button you could push that would somehow magically make jason disappear again — no one would know except for you — would you push it? Knowing that your brother would just go away and everything would go back to the way it was?

[ Door opens ] Ms. Reeves? The piece on how the wellness/fitness market is booming and evolving is in your inbox. Thank you, madison. Thank you. I’ll look at it right away. I need to go back to work. So I heard. What’s, um — what’s this piece about? It’s just for the next issue. It’s — it’s about feeling good is a powerful, profitable industry. You know, fitness and well-being. They’re not just trendy buzzwords. Do me a favor. Will you forward that to me? I’d like to read that. I’m forwarding it right now.

[ Cellphone dings ] Got it. Thank you. Maybe we can work together after all.

[ Door closes ] Stranger things have happened. Here’s the deal, mr. Heller. I get what you did in the military. I respect your discretion about your private clients. I don’t like the gaps in your work history, but I know that world and I’m familiar with non-disclosures. What concerns me the most is your affiliation with the corinthos organization — what you’ve seen, what you’ve done. It’s because of the time that I worked for sonny that I want this. I did things that I regret. And you think you can make up for them by becoming a cop? Because that’s not how this works. The commissioner may have suggested this, but if you’re thinking of it as some kind of penance, then don’t do it. I told you, sir — I want a purpose in my life. I need to do better for myself.

[ Children laugh ] Josslyn: Oh, hi! Okay. Who won — the rebels or the empire? We haven’t finished yet. -Oh. -The rebels will win! How do you know that? Because josslyn’s playing for us, and she’s the best! -Ohh! -I play for the empire, and I’m, uh — I’m a pretty good pilot. Okay. We’ll see what happens. Okay. Uh, before we sit down to dinner, I just want to thank josslyn, donna, and willow for making dinner. You helped, too, mommy. Oh, that’s really nice of you to say that. [ Laughs ] But I also want to say how much I love you all very much… and how lucky we are that we have each other. And we’re lucky that dante is doing better. And we’re so lucky that jason’s back. We have so much to celebrate. Let’s eat!

[ Laughter ] -Let’s eat! Okay. -Okay. You good with that? -There you go. -Gotta grab the bread. I know a lot about pikeman, but I don’t know who’s in charge. I don’t know the chain of command. But you’re right. They’re gonna want to shut me up. The same way they tried to eliminate sonny. I don’t know. They sent separate teams for sonny. The first team was the metro court then puerto rico. I was on the third team, as you know. But their approach is not working. They definitely could try something different with me. Yeah. I regret that you have to be used as bait, jason. That’s real. But I am playing the hand I’ve been dealt with now. The mission remains shutting pikeman down. Commissioner devane.

[ Door closes ] You okay with this? Just has to be done. It all makes sense now. You didn’t become an fbi informant to protect yourself. It was to save carly. She can’t know. Why?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

I am so glad that you showed up to my door last night. I’m so glad you let me in. Yeah, well, you know you’re pretty hard to resist.

Okay, it is almost four o’clock. I think we should actually get out of bed today. Get what? Get out of bed? We already walked all the way through the living room to pick up the food that was delivered. Hmm. Yeah, that’s true.

You have somewhere else you gotta be right now? Nope.

My son is safe. My business partner You got somewhere else you’d rather be right now? Oh, definitely not.

Hey, beautiful. Hey. You look tired. I’m beat. I thought business would slow down after Easter, but it is so crazy busy. Which is great, right? Yeah. Yeah. And you know that now that mama is healthy and in remission. Thank goodness. Yes. Yes. Um, I have to start focusing on the bakery again. And, um, I’m basically here on my own right now.

I let two of my staff take off and, um, You know, they were, they were just working so much overtime while I was in the hospital. So you’re a good boss. Well, I am also a boss who’s great. Is over what? Mm-Hmm. already. I feel like I just got here. Sorry, boo. But I gotta take some bread outta the oven, but I will be here for a little while longer.

Okay.

Hey, Julie. Oh! Oh, Stephanie. Oh, honey. I’m so glad you’re here. And thank you for being willing to help. Oh, I’m honored to be asked. Well, I decided that we needed fresh young eyes on the house project. I wanted to have new life, but I still wanted to say, welcome home. I’m, I’m in. I love interior design. I watch those home makeover shows all the time.

Decades ago, and I mean decades ago, I had a small antique shop. I did a whole lot of interior design. It was always so much fun. I thought of you, I thought perhaps you could use a pleasant diversion to take your mind off a certain journalist we both know.

Everett. Hello. Sorry, um, I hope I’m not late. No. You’re right on time. I’m so glad you’ve decided to try hypnosis. I’m hoping that, uh, we can get some clarity on your past. Actually, um, I think it was a mistake coming here today.

Hey, baby. Brought you some flowers for Easter. I know they’re a little bit late. I’m sorry.

So, um, I took the kids for a Easter egg hunt on Sunday over at the Kariakis Mansion. And, um, Maggie hid all these plastic little eggs around the grounds for the kids to find. And, uh, I put these little, little candies in them.

Of course, it turned into a competition. Thomas won. Yeah. Charlotte cried. She’d have been there. It was actually kind of hilarious. But Thomas ended up sharing with her in the end. So it all, it all worked out. Yeah, we had fun. Can you believe we’re living at the Kiriakis mansion? It’s just,

it’s crazy, right? Good news is the Horton house is being renovated. So we should be, we should be back, back home soon.

I miss you so much.

I’m sorry. Um, I’m sorry.

The man who took you from us, he escaped.

And it’s all my fault.

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

Funny, I was lying in bed last night trying to Not to think about that certain journalist we both know. And my mind pretty randomly wandered to, of all things, that time capsule that you found and couldn’t open. I still can’t open it. And I’ve been obsessing over where is the key and what could be inside the time capsule.

And I’m afraid that key is just gone with the wind. That’s gotta be one funky key. Oh, I prefer to think of it as unique. Like my grandfather. I’m sure he wanted everyone in the family to gather and figure it out and solve it like a puzzle. Maybe you could get some ideas online. Post a picture of the box.

Use the internet, what a good idea! Oh, yes! I could help you with that! Oh, sweetie. Not now. Thank you, but not now. I’ve decided I’m not going to obsess on the time capsule. I’m going to devote all of my focus to this, to the house project,

because I know that my grandparents would want this place to, to be ready for all the generations to come.

This is all on me. It is. I mean, if I, if I hadn’t have interviewed Clyde for the, You know, I put his picture in the paper. He never would have retaliated. I

pushed him. And I, and I, you know, I put the whole thing in motion. I mean,

you know, I,

I just wanted to make him pay. For what he did to you.

You know.

Instead, he tried to kill our babies.

Our babies.

Our family. He

sent a henchman to, uh, torture our home.

That was your great grandparents house. You know, he

He spent all of your happiest days as a child there.

I let you down, baby. And I let your family down.

And now, you know, Clyde Weston escaped.

Escaped.

I’m gonna make it right.

I promise you, Abby. I will make it right.

There are a lot of misperceptions about hypnotherapy. I don’t know if you’ve read much about it. I have. Pretty good deal. I know that, uh, I’ll have access to my free will, more or less, and that, uh, I’ll remember everything afterwards. Yeah, that’s accurate. And what we try to do is access parts of your memory that maybe haven’t been available to us.

But that’s what freaks me out, Dr. Evans. I mean, part of me definitely wants to know the truth, you know? But, uh, As I told you the other time that we discussed this, Another part of me is Afraid of what I might find out. I understand. You will be right here with me. You’ll be safe. And if at any point, You don’t feel able to go on, we will stop.

Okay,

let’s give it a shot.

What are you thinking? I don’t want to ruin the mood. What? Come on, tell me.

Clyde and Goldman are still free. And we don’t know where they are or if they’re coming back. Yeah. For you. For Tripp. And Clyde really wanted his freedom, so I wanna think that he’s not gonna jeopardize showing his face around here anytime soon. Alright, listen. Clyde has a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them.

It’s true.

I’m gonna join the manhunt as soon as I can. What? Okay. Yeah. Not today. No, not today.

You know, you’re healing. You’re healing really fast. It’s like you’ve almost got all your strength back. Yeah, almost. I’m actually pretty impressed by your stamina. Well, I aim to please ma’am.

But, you know, before we get into another round, I’m kind of hungry. Should we, should we order some more food? Order? Wait, wait. You, you, you forget, sir, that I am an excellent cook. Well, no, I have not forgotten. Okay. I just didn’t want to impose. Okay. Well, no, no, no. You know, cooking is one of my greatest pleasures.

So you know what I’m gonna do? I’m gonna go in the kitchen. I’m gonna whip something up for you. Don’t move a muscle.

Okay, the front doors are locked. Good. No more customers. So you ready to go? Just about. I just have to wrap this bread. Oh, damn. What? I just got a big order for tomorrow, so, um, I’m gonna have to prep for it now. Or, maybe you could just say, sorry, no, it’s too late in the day to start a new order. No, if I do that, then tomorrow morning is just gonna be a nightmare, so I have to do it now.

But, I don’t want you to have to wait, so how about you head home, and then I will catch up with you later. Well, maybe I can help. You. You’re gonna help me bake. Well, I’m no baker, but I could follow directions, I’ll wash the dishes, tidy up. Yeah, thank you, but I can handle it. Come on, give me a shot. Look, you get some extra help, I get to spend a little extra time with my wife.

It’s a win win. Oh, okay. But do not distract me by looking at me with those big brown bedrooms. See, see, no, don’t do that. Okay, fine. Maybe I could, you know, if it helps, I could wear a flower sack over my head. Yeah, that actually might help. It’s fine. You know what? I can resist. I have willpower. Alright, come on.

Let’s get to work. Okay. That might be a little too contrasty. You hate it. Okay. Okay. What’s the bar? Oh, hey. This is me. Hang on a sec.

Oh, it’s from a potential new client, which is good. I could use the business, especially since I’m dropping the spectator. You are? Why? Well, I’m thinking about dropping it. I, I haven’t decided yet. Because of Everett? Yeah. Or Bobby. Whatever his real name is. Oh, honey. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I admit, it’s very upsetting.

And it’ll be even more upsetting if it turns out it’s true that Everett was dating me on the side while he was married to Jada. No, he wasn’t. Yes. And now she can’t stand the sight of me. Oh, it wasn’t your fault? She accused me of missing the signs. Clearly Everett was hiding something big and I chose not to see it, she says.

Now maybe she’s right. Julie, maybe Maybe I did ignore what was right there in front of me the whole time.

You’re doing just fine. With every breath, double your relaxation.

Let all the tension flow out of you.

I think you’re in a safe place now. Can you tell me where you are?

Yeah, um,

there’s a gazebo. Okay. And a stream, a brook.

Alright, are you, are you there alone? Is anybody with you? No, I’m, I’m not alone. My mother is there. Helen.

Tell me about your mother. She’s, uh, She’s wonderful.

Elegant. Strong. She, she likes to bake. She’s wearing, um, an apron. And her hands are, are, are full of flour.

Is she sitting beside you? She’s, she’s looking out at the water.

She’s smiling.

Is there anything you’d like to talk to her about? Anything you’d like to ask her? Everett?

Everett? She’s there. You can ask her right now.

Why’d you do it, Mom?

So, Mrs. DiMera, where do we start? Well, Mr. Dupree, I’m glad you asked. Okay, so, cooking is An art, so it allows for improvisation and imprecision. Kind of like making a movie. Right, right. But we are not cooking. We’re baking. Which is a science. So, it calls for a step by step process of precise amounts of ingredients, timings, and temperatures.

Oh, so you’re a scientist. I’m impressed. Why, thank you. Alright, alright. First, I would like you to preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Yes, chef. Oh, well, technically I’m not a chef. Okay, then what should I call you? I don’t know, how about wife? Or babe? I’ll go with wife.

Stephanie, you cannot blame yourself for Everett’s lies. You didn’t know what was going on. And you were devastated when you found out he’d been married to Jada. Yeah, I was. And the timing couldn’t have been worse. See, I was just starting to think that maybe Everett was the one. Again. And then everything blew up in my face.

Again. How do you feel now? I feel confused. Angry. Really angry. Actually, I’m furious. Just when I thought that I could trust him again, that we might have a happily ever after, boom, this happens. And then I feel guilty. For being mad, like, why am I being unsympathetic to what Everett’s going through? Forget Everett.

Forget Everett’s problems. Darling, this is the time when you certainly should be thinking about yourself and taking care of yourself. And you’re not alone. I mean, you got the family. Lean on us, please. I will. And when the truth comes out, and it will, And whatever it is, we’ll get you through it. Hello? Hey.

Ah, hello darling. Good to see you two here. But I didn’t expect to see you. I thought you were coming by tomorrow. Uh, yeah, no, I was, but um, uh, I was supposed to come by and check out the, uh, Thomas and Charlotte’s remodeled bedroom. Oh, right. Yeah. So it is now a good time. Wonderful. Yeah. Oh, perfect. Great.

Yeah, you go upstairs and look around and have an opinion, and then come down and share it with us, and you can help us look through all of these fabric swatches. Ooh, can’t wait.

What did you do it, mom? Why did you do it?

Everett, you’re safe.

You’re safe right now. Nobody’s going to hurt you. No. I’m not. I’m not safe. That

hits the spot right there. I’m glad. I haven’t been grocery shopping in a long time with everything going on, so, uh, It was either French toast, or egg salad sandwiches, or scrambled eggs with toast. Well, you know what? All of that sounds good compared to the hospital food that I was just eating. You know what sounds good to me right now?

Hmm? Mmm, fresh pasta. What? Yeah. Don’t tell me you’re craving my seafood linguine. Oooh. Well, that would be heaven. But, uh, Hey, you know what? We should, um, We should go over to the bistro since it’s closed now and operations were shut down. We could have a little private dinner, you and me. I mean, it’s clean, it’s fully stocked.

What do you say? That sounds like a, That sounds like a plan. Okay. Then I’m going to be the chef, and I’m going to pick out the menu. Okay. Deal. But I just want you to know that I’m a very tough food critic. Oh. Oh, I see. Okay. Well, um, let’s see. I can guarantee that it is going to be Savory. Succulent. And very satisfying.

You know, actually, um, Who needs a fancy meal When you are all of the above.

You know, sometimes I still forget that we’re married. That’s right. I mean, we didn’t have much time as newlyweds with everything that’s happened, and as magical as our night was in the Salem Inn, that does not tick off the honeymoon box in my book. Well, we could go back to Italy. I could come and do the demerit jets.

You know I can’t go to Italy right now. I know. I know. You gotta stay close to home for a while. Yeah. Yeah, but as soon as the time is right, we will definitely take that trip to Italy. But in the meantime, how about we take Sarah up on her offer for the Horton family cabin? I mean, it is secluded out there on Smith Island.

Relaxing, peaceful. Nobody else around? Just the two of us? Sounds perfect. How soon can we go? I don’t know. I was thinking drapes. But is elegance passe? Is it old fashioned? No, not at all. It can be really beautiful. The kids are gonna love the remodeled bedroom. I mean, there’s even more space than there was before.

Well, there’s no furniture in the room and no children and no toys. Oh, yeah, that’s right. No, none of that. Uh, why don’t I, uh, bring us a snack? I have tuna sandwiches and fruit in a cooler. I Sounds amazing. Okay, I’ll be right back.

So, the kids must be anxious to move back in here. Yeah, they can’t wait. I mean, the Kiriakis place has been great. And Maggie dotes on him, as you can imagine. Oh, I definitely can. So, any, um, updates on, uh, Everett or is he going by Bobby now? Actually, I met with him yesterday to talk to him about hiring a new PR firm for The Spectator.

What are you talking about? You’re terrific. You can’t leave us. Thank you, but I feel awkward staying on. I’m sure you understand. You want me to fire him, again? Don’t do that. At least not yet. Okay, well, tell me when.

Um, what do you think about the house? It’s great. Yeah, no, it’s amazing. And, uh, I mean, you know, I obviously feel responsible for everything. For the fire. And, uh, it just breaks my heart that Doug and Julie had to go through all this. But it didn’t have to happen. It wasn’t your fault, Chad. Oh, yeah, it was. My egg busted on.

I mean, I practically taunted him into doing all of this. The man’s a lunatic. It’s a monster. Everybody knows that. Okay. I still feel responsible, so what do you want me to do? You know, for the fire, for, for, uh, him escaping, you know? I know it doesn’t make any sense, but, uh, you know, I went to talk to Abby about it at her grave site, which You know, I, I, I guess saying that, you know, maybe it sounds crazy, but, uh, You know, I mean, he’s the one that took her from us, so I don’t know, maybe it isn’t, but, you know, Thanks to me, who knows what other harm he’s gonna cause.

God only knows what he’s gonna do next.

Everett, tell me what’s happening.

I know you can hear my voice. Tell me what you’re seeing.

Nothing. Just, uh, A darkness.

Okay, that’s good. That’s good. Can you find a light? Can you find your way into some light? Just I can’t. Okay,

okay, okay, that’s enough. We’re gonna end now. I’m gonna count to three and when I do, you’re gonna be wide awake. Relaxed. Refreshed. You’ll remember everything we’ve talked about. One. Two. Three. Open your eyes.

Okay. Good. You’re right here. You’re right here with me. And you’re safe.

Deborah,

would you tell me what you remembered?

I remember.

I’m sorry, um, I, I, I don’t know. All right. You said that you saw Some darkness. And something was disturbing after you saw your mother, is that right? Uh, I’m not sure. She’s kind of fuzzy. How do you feel now? A little shaky.

We made a very good start today. Clearly there’s something bothering you, something blocking you from going forward. We could deal with that in our next session. If you’d like to? Yeah. Definitely. Good. You let me know if you have any, any memories at all. I will. I, uh, I should probably get back to work. Um, just have to get going.

But, uh, thank you so much. And, uh, I’ll, I’ll set up another appointment.

I hope it helped ease your mind. Going to visit Abigail? Yeah, yeah, I did. It’s not your fault for what happened. You know that, right?

Everyone’s safe. The house is still standing. And before long it’s gonna be as good as new. Your family and your friends care about you so much. Lean on us. Okay. Thank you. And you too. I mean, I know, I know you’re going through a rough time as well, so. Here we go. Uh, Julie, I, I’m so sorry. I’ve got to run, actually.

I, I’m going to go meet that, um, new client that I mentioned. Okay, uh, sandwich for the road. And how about an apple? Love it. Thank you. Thank you. Um, keep me posted on design choices. Oh, of course. Of course I will, dear. Bye, John. See you, Steph. You

don’t look too happy. Talk to me.

It’s just, um, I’m just so sorry about the house. I mean, it’s all my fault. Julie, it’s all my fault.

Mmm.

Oh, so you don’t need a fancy meal, huh? Uh, maybe we need some nourishment. We have been burning calories. Yeah. I do so enjoy burning calories with you.

You know, I do have a feeling is that we’re going to be burning a lot more of them too. So, uh, you want to go to the bistro? Go there and just rejuvenate. Yeah, let’s do it. But I feel like I should shower first before our dinner date. I feel kind of sweaty. Yeah. Well, you know, calorie burning will do that to you.

And you know, I have been just as active as you are. So.

Ergo, I think that I need a shower too. You say, did you say ergo? I did. Mmm, I like your logic.

Wait, wait, wait, right here in the kitchen. Yeah, sure, why not? Because it’s a health violation. And you know that I’m already in the doghouse with the health department. Thanks. Okay, so we wait. We wait. Or, I have a few, uh, big, soft flower bags. Still on their pallets, in my storeroom. Uh, flower bags? Would that not also be a health code violation?

Not if we throw them out afterwards. I like the way you think.

Hey. Hey. Hi. You’re Cyd?

So, how are you? Um,

I had my first hypnosis session today. Oh, yeah? How’d that go? Uh, intense. I saw something when I was under something that scared the hell out of me.

Chad, you’ve got to let it go. I’ve made, uh, such a mess of everything, Julian, you know. Now Clyde’s free. Nobody blames you for the fire. Well, I did. For a nanosecond, but I was wrong, I was really wrong. Look at me. Chad. Say, I am not to blame for the fire. Say it. Chad! I’m not to blame for the fire. Good. And now, second, I am not responsible for the criminal actions of Clyde Weston.

Do you have to say that out loud to me, too? No. Good.

I went to see Abby today to apologize. Oh, honey. My mother struggles, Julie. You know, sometimes I, um, I think I’m doing my best to raise these kids without their mother, and then other days I feel like I’m

I’m failing. And today is one of those days. I just I miss her so much all the time. Baby, we all miss her. This isn’t something you can do alone. Don’t you know how the family loves you? Supports you and the children? Why do you think I want to build this house back up again? Because it’s, it’s something that we all have a constant in our lives.

It’s a symbol. It means, it means family. It means love. It means hope.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Jack: As if that wasn’t enough, I had the distinct displeasure of running into tucker.

Traci: Why doesn’t he just pack up everything and move to france and run glissade?

Jack: That is exactly what I said to him. Do you know he had the nerve to want to discuss ashley with me?

Traci: Well, I’m not surprised. But why he thinks she’s any of his business after all he’s put her through?

Jack: He claims to be concerned about her, that she’s acting erratically.

Traci: Really? What did he say exactly?

Jack: That she wants to be his partner again in business and romance.

Traci: Oh, that definitely doesn’t sound like ashley.

Jack: No, it is not ashley. She has made it very clear to both of us she wants nothing to do with that man. In my mind, this is just another example of him trying to stir up trouble for this family.

Tucker: Hey.

Audra: Ugh.

Tucker: Five minutes.

Audra: Not five seconds.

Tucker: I was wrong.

Audra: Yeah, I’ve heard that before.

Tucker: Please, audra.

Audra: Two minutes. It’s ticking.

Tucker: You’re right to be angry with me about this whole thing with ashley. Whether she is actually having some kind of breakdown or she’s faking it, it’s not my concern. You are. Only you. You’re everything.

Victor: Jordan’s escape is an outrageous blunder on the part of my security team and law enforcement. You find the woman. You call me.

Adam: How is it even possible that that woman is an unstoppable threat?

Victor: Hell, she is. I’m gonna find her and put an end to her.

Jordan: Well, I’ve seen worse. Oh. The newmans and their amateur hour. They thought they could take me down. Well, it’s time for a reckoning. Hey! It’s your dry skin.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Victor: That woman will be brought to justice if it’s the last damn thing I do.

Adam: Well, she must really be insane if she doesn’t have the sense to stay out of your way.

Victor: I just can’t believe this. Have a seat, son. What brings you by? Anything at newman I need to address?

Adam: No, it’s– it’s nothing like that. Um, I just wanted to let you know that I’m heading to the east coast tonight with chelsea and connor. But don’t worry, my work will get taken care of.

Victor: Kind of short notice, isn’t it?

Adam: It’s connor.

Victor: What’s going on with our boy?

Adam: Connor has ocd and we’re doing everything we can to get him through it.

Audra: Now you agree with me? That ashley’s faking her crazy?

Tucker: I do.

Audra: Yeah, just like that.

Tucker: Yeah, well after careful consideration.

Audra: You know, or maybe you’re just telling me what you think I want to hear because you’re not getting your way.

Tucker: Which answer will get me a second chance?

Audra: Tucker–

Tucker: You see, you’re all I want. You’re it.

Audra: Yeah, I heard that a million times.

Tucker: Listen to me, please. Ashley’s problem, real or not, is hers to deal with. Hers and her family’S. And I– I just told jack as much.

Audra: Really?

Tucker: Yes, really. I– you accused me of wanting to play hero to ashley, to save her from herself. When the only person in the world I would ever really want to play hero to is you.

Audra: Well, since I don’t need saving, you can–

Tucker: Please, I am desperate here! I cannot lose you. I won’T. What– what can we do to get back to where we were?

Jack: Diane and I are meeting at the club for a drink. Would you care to join us?

Traci: Oh, that sounds nice. Um, no, thank you. Actually, I have some reading I need to do. I think I’ll stay in.

Jack: Well, enjoy.

Traci: That’s the goal.

Ashley: I do not need or want you to be watching me like a hawk for any kind of weakness.

Traci: Ashley, I’m sorry if you think that we’re hovering or you feel cornered, but you can’t blame us to be–

Ashley: I can blame you and I do. I am stable. I am solid. And I want to move on with my life. So back the hell off and let me. Traci.

[ Ashley laughing ] You look like you’re a million miles away.

Traci: Hi, so sorry.

Ashley: Please don’t tell me that that concerned look on your face has something to do with me.

Traci: Well, unfortunately, it does. Tucker is not over you. Okay, I’m over tucker.

Ashley: Do I really have to say it again? Okay, I’m over tucker. You don’t have to worry or hover.

Traci: Okay. That is very good to hear. But apparently, tucker is not over you.

Ashley: Really? What does that mean?

Traci: I guess jack ran into him earlier, and tucker said he was very concerned about you, that your behavior is erratic.

Ashley: Yeah, he tried that on me, too. I guess he thinks that, um, because I was wrong about what happened in paris, that that indicates that I’m falling apart. Obviously, he’s trying to make me doubt myself. But you don’t have to believe his garbage now, do you?

Traci: So, what you’re saying is that his– tucker’s claims are just another way for him to manipulate you.

Ashley: Yeah, as if that could ever be the case.

Traci: Well, I can’t speak for tucker’s sincerity, but you have to admit, you’ve been a little moody, and not quite yourself since we got back from paris. Maybe that’s why he’s jumping to conclusions about what’s going on with you.

Ashley: And you’re not gonna let me forget for a second that I was wrong about what happened in that stupid cafe, are you?

Traci: Okay, come on, I’m not trying to upset you.

Ashley: Well, it is upsetting. You’re choosing to believe tucker over me, and I am your sister.

Victor: Obsessive-compulsive disorder. I’ve heard that term pertaining to adults, but rarely to children.

Adam: I didn’t know that either.

Victor: Ah.

Adam: You know, when connor first started having issues at school, we thought it was a learning difference, an academic issue. But then we found a doctor who made the diagnosis.

Victor: So, what’s the cure?

Adam: There is no cure. But there are tools that he can learn to manage the diagnosis. He needs something called exposure and response prevention therapy, erp. Chelsea found the best residential program in the country, and we’re lucky enough to get the last spot. So, that’s why we have to leave immediately.

Victor: Take my jet. I mean, I’ll make the arrangements.

Adam: Well, nick already made the offer. So, it’s nice to know that we have your blessing, too.

Victor: My boy, just know that whatever you and chelsea and connor need, you just come to me, all right?

Adam: That means more than you know.

Victor: Yeah, well, I know what it is like to have a child that suffers. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

Adam: You know, we have to do this. It is the right move to make, but I don’t want to let him out of my sight. Connor says that he hates himself. What do I do with that? I mean, how do I– how do I help him?

Victor: That breaks my heart, you know? You just continue doing what you and chelsea are planning to do. I mean, it’s the right move. Just trust yourself.

Adam: Dad, I’m– but I’m the screw-up. I’m that guy that never gets it right. What if it’s happened this time? What if what’s happening with connor is my fault? I mean, I love the hell out of my kid, but I wasn’t always around, was I? And connor didn’t exactly have the most stable childhood.

Victor: Well… I had a son I loved very much. Couldn’t be around him when things were difficult, and he had a tough childhood. And I am proud of the man that boy has become. Of the father he has become.

Victoria: Hi. Have you seen claire?

Victor: No.

Victoria: I’ve looked everywhere for her. Will you alert your security team and ask if they’ve seen her, please?

Adam: Look, she’s probably fine.

Victoria: Probably? Probably isn’t good enough, all right? Not with jordan out there.

Victor: Sweetheart, there’s no way jordan would have come onto this property without security catching her. There’s no way she took claire away.

Adam: Yes, I can vouch for that. Security was so tight, I could barely get in.

Victoria: That’s because they don’t like you. That doesn’t mean that claire didn’t figure out a way to leave.

Victor: I don’t think claire would do that. She knows how dangerous that would be. She wouldn’t leave on her own.

Victoria: I wouldn’t be so sure.

Michael: Claire.

Claire: Hello!

Michael: Well, uh, not that it isn’t great to see you, but what are you doing here?

Claire: I’m enjoying a mocha latte, extra mocha. Because I can.

Michael: No better reason. You look good.

Claire: Feel good. And I’m kind of celebrating.

Michael: Ah, what’s the occasion?

Claire: This is my very first time out in the actual real world all by myself since I was released from the hospital.

Michael: Well, good for you. But with your aunt no longer in custody, I’m surprised that victor and your family would let you off the ranch, let alone out of their sight.

Claire: They wouldn’t, which is why I didn’t tell them.

Michael: You think that’s a good idea?

Claire: They probably won’t be happy, but jordan doesn’t scare me and I can’t let fear control my life. Not anymore. Wow.

Michael: I am glad that you’re feeling so strong, but I can’t help being a little worried that you’re out here unprotected given that you are still very much a target for jordan.

Claire: Duly noted. But what seems like a risk to you, it feels absolutely amazing for me. I can’t live my life worried that my aunt is lurking around every corner. I’m free of her. I’m free of the hate that she poured into me. And I’m gonna live my life like a normal person for the first time ever.

[ Michael chuckling ]

Michael: You are a very strong young woman, just like your mother.

Claire: Really? You think I’m like victoria?

Michael: I do. Very much so. Pecan muffins.

Lauren: You caught me. They’re my obsession.

Claire: Well, your secret is safe with me.

Lauren: Thank you.

Michael: Oh, lauren, this is victoria’s daughter, claire.

Lauren: I’ve heard a lot about you.

Claire: I can imagine.

Lauren: Well, you’ve gone through a lot and you’ve come out the other side.

Claire: I owe a lot to your husband. He could’ve refused my case, but he took a chance and here I am.

Michael: Yay.

Lauren: Yes. So, I’m assuming you’re gonna stay in genoa city?

Claire: There’s no place I’d rather be. I’m mostly focused on getting to know my family right now.

Lauren: Yes, and getting to know the newmans is a full-time job.

Claire: Oh, that is true. They’ve been so kind.

Lauren: Oh, well, they certainly are. So, tell me, what are you interested in? What do you think you’re gonna do?

Claire: Well, there was this little girl at the hospital. I would play games with her and read to her. And I think it was really good for both of us. So, nikki and my parents have suggested I might like to work with kids.

Lauren: Oh, that sounds nice.

Claire: Summer. Hey.

Michael: Hi, summer.

Lauren: We were just getting to know your cousin. You know, actually, I’ve got to get back to work.

Michael: Oh, I’m headed to victor’S. Let me drop you.

Lauren: Okay.

Michael: Right. Claire, summer.

Lauren: You just want these muffins.

Michael: Yes, I do.

Claire: Summer, would you like to sit?

Summer: I actually can’T. I gotta get back to work. This was just a quick little coffee break.

Claire: Maybe next time.

Summer: Yeah, good to see you.

Claire: Summer? You learned the whole truth about me, didn’t you?

Summer: Um. Yeah, what you did to your family, um… my family. Can’t really wrap my head around it.

Claire: It makes sense for you to be freaked out. What I did was horrible and I’m ashamed. But I’m not that person anymore. I’ve gotten help. I’ll keep getting help. And I will spend the rest of my life trying to prove myself to all of you.

Summer: You tried to kill my dad. My aunt. My– my grandparents. I– I gotta ask you. What makes you think that you will ever be qualified to work with children?

Tucker: You’re right to wanna walk away from me. About all this with ashley. You probably should have. I made promises to you that I didn’t keep. I was not honest with you. But you’ve been so patient with me. And you stood by me when you didn’t have to. And most people would not have. And yet, I still haven’t made you the priority I should have made you. And that makes me a fool. So, here I am. A liar and a fool. And you should probably walk away. I won’t blame you if you do. When I think about my life without you, audra… and, uh… I’m so lucky to have you in my life and… you’re– you’re my best friend. And, um, I’m sorry. I don’t know what else to say. What do you need me to say?

Audra: I just need you to look at me in my eyes and say the only words I know you can’t say without meaning them.

Tucker: I love you, audra.

Audra: I love you too.

Diane: To taking a break from our crazy busy schedules for a little us time.

Jack: I will drink to that. Ah, I think I needed this.

Diane: Tough day?

Jack: Tucker.

Diane: Oh, no, what now?

Jack: Oh, more of his mind games. He claims he is concerned about ashley’s mental health. There’s something terribly wrong with her.

Diane: Oh, my god, it never stops with him.

Jack: I don’t know what his ultimate agenda is. I do know my sister. If she is behaving out of character, it’s because she’s under a great deal of stress. I’ve talked to her about this. She says she’s fine.

Diane: Do you believe her?

Jack: I have been with ashley through a number of emotional issues for her. I have seen her confused. I have seen her unsure of herself. No, she is strong. She is solid. Yes, I do believe her.

Traci: Um, I don’t believe a word that tucker says.

Ashley: Well, I’m glad to hear it. I mean, I’ve never felt more focused and more sure of myself. It is funny though, isn’t it?

Traci: What?

Ashley: Well, tucker does seem to be genuinely concerned about me. He actually told me that he feels responsible that somehow our breakup pushed me over the edge. Let him think I’m crazy. It’s exactly what I want.

Traci: Oh, okay. You want tucker to think that you’re crazy. Would you mind kind of walking me through this? Because this makes absolutely no sense. Especially because you’re over him, right?

Ashley: I’m in complete control of the situation. I’m not playing into tucker’s hands. In fact, this is all going exactly how I intended to.

Traci: It is?

Ashley: I have a plan.

Traci: Oh, now there’s a phrase that terrifies me, I have a plan. Rarely goes the way you want it to. You mind sharing some of this with me?

Ashley: You’re just gonna have to trust me, trace.

Traci: I do trust you. But I’m also really curious.

Ashley: Well, I don’t want to ruin the surprise, so you’re gonna have to wait.

Traci: Oh, come on. I was your wingwoman in paris. You’ve got to have somebody to bounce ideas off of, right?

Ashley: Why? So, you can talk me out of it?

Traci: Everybody needs a sounding board.

Ashley: I’ve got tucker just where I want him. See, he’s so worried about poor ashley. He feels so guilty about her because she’s weak and she’s fragile. You know, she’s vulnerable. What that does, it makes him vulnerable. Because you see, all I have to do is get him to trust me. With his heart and with his empire. And then, I’m gonna take it all away. So, all he’s left with is that sad, desolate, bankrupt soul of his.

Traci: Okay, ashley. After everything you’ve been through, do you really think it’s wise to get that close to tucker again? Come on. This is not the first time that you’ve cozied up to him.

Ashley: I’m smarter now.

Traci: And he is someone who’s difficult to fool. How are you gonna get his company away from him?

Ashley: Oh, I don’t know. I’m just gonna do it. It’s perfect. He’s not gonna see me coming.

Traci: Wait, I– I don’t know about any of this. And none of it sounds good. Ashley, please don’t go. Ashley, wait a minute.

[ Door slams ]

Diane: I hate that I got so angry with kyle. And I realize that I’ve just been looking for any evidence that he didn’t respect me as his superior. And I am gonna stop doing that.

Jack: I think that’s very generous of you. And for what it’s worth, I saw kyle at the house and we talked about the issue.

Diane: What did he say?

Jack: He confessed that he has had some feelings of resentment.

Diane: You see? It wasn’t my imagination. He does resent me. That’s not okay.

Jack: He also volunteered that he knows he has to work through this, on his own.

Diane: Jack, what if he can’t? I mean, I have worked so hard to have a relationship with my son. No job is worth sacrificing that for.

[ Diane sighs ] What would you say if I suggested that kyle and I reverse roles?

Adam: You’re so worried that jordan could have got to claire. Have you ever considered that claire maybe ran off to be with her aunt, to team up against our family again?

[ Victoria scoffs ]

Victoria: You know, it’s fascinating. Ever since you’ve come into our lives, all you’ve wanted was for us to accept you. And you won’t extend that same grace to my daughter.

[ Adam sighs ]

Adam: You know what? You’re right. I’m sorry.

Victoria: Oh, an apology? Why are you being so nice?

Adam: Look, I may not be completely convinced that claire is not a threat based on what she’s done, but we are protective of our kids. I get that. So, I should have kept my mouth shut.

Victoria: I’m sorry, but this is so unlike you.

Adam: Yeah, well, maybe I learned a few things recently.

Victoria: Like what?

Adam: Oh, god, you’re gonna hear it sooner or later. Connor has been diagnosed with ocd.

Victoria: What? Oh, my god, I’m sorry. Is he okay?

Adam: He’s scared. I’m scared, but he’s putting on a brave face. Chelsea and I, we’re leaving tonight to get him into a residential program.

Victoria: Well, I’m sorry for everything that connor has to go through. And you and chelsea as well.

Adam: Thank you.

Victoria: It’s smart, though, for you to be proactive. I think, um, early intervention is probably key in something like this. If there’s anything I can do.

Victor: Thank you for the update. Yeah.

Victoria: What did you find out?

Victor: Well, according to security at the front gate, claire left a while ago saying she was gonna get a cup of coffee.

Victoria: So, she just went out to get coffee?

Victor: No more information than that.

Claire: I saw kyle earlier and I explained to him, I’m working through things and therapy, and I’m doing everything that I can to get better and– and build a real life for myself. That means trying to be productive, giving back, and yeah, hopefully, that means working with kids. Maybe because of the terrible things that I did. Maybe because of the terrible things that were done to me when I was a kid.

Summer: So you were a victim?

Claire: I was stolen, cut off from my family, told that I was unwanted so that I could be used and manipulated and it worked. I did what I was told and it was awful, but I take responsibility for what I did. And I’m taking responsibility for my present, for my future, to make a difference in a good way. I really hope that you can see that and you can trust me. And maybe, who knows, one day we could have a real relationship as cousins.

[ Door opens ]

Summer: Chance.

Chance: Hey.

Summer: Hey. Um, claire, this is chance chancellor. Chance, this is my cousin, claire.

Chance: Oh, very nice to meet you.

Claire: Nikki pointed you out at diane and jack’s vow renewal. She said you were a genuine hero.

Chance: Oh, well, that’s a little too generous.

Summer: No, don’t be modest. You are a hero, even if you’re not wearing the uniform anymore.

[ Phone ringing ]

Claire: Oh, um, it’s my mom. I should probably get back to the ranch before they call out the security guards.

Summer: Hm. Sounds very serious.

Claire: At least I got my coffee. It was great meeting you.

Chance: Yeah, you as well.

Claire: Good to see you, summer.

Summer: You too.

If you have chronic

kidney disease you can reduce

Jack: Are you really saying what I think you’re saying? You would give up your job as co-ceo for kyle?

Diane: Look, I love my job. I love working so closely with you. But I really want our son to soar. And I’m afraid that his resentment towards me is gonna get in the way of that.

Jack: It is not enough to make this drastic a change.

Diane: Jack, please, just give it some thought.

Jack: Okay. Switching jobs at this point may seem like an answer, but it– it doesn’t solve the problem. I’ve said this before, you and kyle have to find a way to resolve this. To work through things, to find common ground, so that you can work together effectively.

Diane: So, I guess that’s a no.

Jack: I won’t even consider it. I honestly believe you are where you belong. Where you deserve to be.

Victoria: There you are! Where were you? I was so worried about you.

Claire: I’m fine. I just went for a coffee.

Adam: Alone?

Claire: Why do you care?

Adam: Because people were worried.

Victoria: Okay, okay, it’s not safe. So, don’t do that again. Don’t– don’t do that until jordan is in custody.

Victor: Claire, listen to me. Next time you inform your mother about your whereabouts, and/or take someone from the security team along with you.

Claire: I will. And I’m sorry that I worried you so much. But I can’t just hide here in this house. I– I have to get used to living out in the real world and going out on my own. I– I refuse to be afraid of jordan.

Victor: You sound like your grandmother.

Victoria: I’m proud of you. I know that you want to be independent, but please, just don’t take off like that again. You promise me?

Claire: I promise, mom.

Michael: Oh, looks like a party. Claire, yeah.

Victor: Michael baldwin. Nice to see you, old boy.

Michael: Good to see you.

Victor: Have a seat. What’s up?

Michael: Potential lead on jordan, if we’re lucky.

Victoria: Oh, thank god.

Victor: Let me hear it.

Michael: Well, someone calling herself eve howard purchased a train ticket from chicago to houston. Could be jordan’s on the run.

Victor: Could also be that that is what she wants us to think.

Audra: What the hell?

Tucker: Again? Would you like me to have you thrown out or arrested this time?

Ashley: We have business to discuss.

Tucker: No, we don’T.

Ashley: I made that appointment we talked about.

Tucker: Wonderful. I’m glad you did. That’s all I wanted. Now, I wish you the best.

Ashley: You know, I’m doing this for us.

Tucker: Do it for yourself, ashley. There is no us. And there never will be again.

Ashley: I think you’d have a different answer if we didn’t have an audience.

Tucker: I hope you get to a better place. I really do. But that is a step you need to take on your own or with the support of your family because I am out.

Audra: You heard him, ashley. Out.

Ashley: Can we speak privately?

If you have wet amd,

Audra: Look, ashley, I don’t know what all of this is. Real, fake, crazy, sane. I– I don’t know. But whatever it is, it’s over. Okay, this thing that you’ve got chasing tucker around, it’s embarrassing. Do you really want to get rejected over and over again? Have a little self-respect.

Ashley: Tucker, could you put a muzzle on this yappy little bitch?

Audra: You know what?

Tucker: Hold on. Wait a minute. Stop it. Ashley, it’s enough. Go now.

Ashley: Okay. All you had to do was ask.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Tucker: Well, do you believe me now?

Ashley: Where am I? What’s going on? What am I doing here? What’s happening to me?

Chance: Hey, your cousin seemed nice.

Summer: Yeah, seemed nice.

Chance: What’s that supposed to mean?

Summer: It means that she seemed nice when she was my grandma’s assistant, but it actually turned out that she was plotting with her crazy great-aunt to destroy the newman family.

Chance: That woman just now?

Summer: Yes, that exact one. Okay, the short version? She and her aunt lured my dad, my aunt victoria, and my grandparents all up to this remote cabin and tried to kill them.

Chance: What? Why the hell isn’t she in prison?

Summer: Because my family heavily went to bat for her. Mental illness, whatever. They got her treatment instead of jail time, and now she’s just living on the ranch. A shiny new member of the newman clan.

Chance: Boy. Well, they must have faith that the treatment’s working, yeah?

Summer: Yeah, well, I saw her in action with my grandma before. She’s a pretty good actress.

Chance: You don’t think she’s been rehabilitated?

Summer: I– I don’t know what to believe, chance. I really don’T. Yes, she seems to sincerely want to turn her life around, but I don’t really know how you go from homicidal behavior to just a normal person in the span of, like, a couple of months. I– I get the concept of second chances. I’m just not ready to trust my cousin claire.

Michael: There’s only one way to figure out if jordan’s playing us or if she’s really getting out of dodge. I’m gonna have to follow up on that train ticket lead.

Victor: Thank you for coming by and let me know as soon as you find anything out.

Michael: You’ll be the first.

Victor: Thank you.

Michael: Victoria, adam.

Adam: Look, I, um, I have to get going as well, but thank you for letting me use the jet.

Victor: Anytime, my boy. If you need anything, call me.

Adam: Of course. Thank you.

Victor: And you tell him that nikki and I love him. Give him a big hug from us, all right?

Victoria: And also from me, adam.

Adam: Sure.

Victor: Adam?

Adam: Yeah?

Victor: Just remember, you and chelsea are exactly the parents the boy needs right now.

Claire: What’s going on with adam’s son?

[ Victor sighs ]

Victor: As if they didn’t have enough problems. He has obsessive-compulsive disorder and is being treated at a special clinic on the east coast.

Claire: God, that poor kid. I spent time with some kids his age at the hospital. They all tried to be brave, but you could tell that they were– they were afraid of the treatments and they were scared that they wouldn’t get better. My heart really goes out to him.

Victoria: Connor will be very lucky if he finds people as empathetic as you are to help him through this.

Diane: Thank you.

Jack: You are welcome.

Diane: Mm.

Jack: Come here.

Ashley: Oh, what is happening to me?

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Sonny: Good to see you up and walking.

Dante: [ Weakly ] Yeah, you know, I might as well… be moving backward.

What matters is you’re doing it.

Yeah, unsteady though I may be.

You know, I wasn’t there when you took your first steps, but I’m getting a taste of that right now. This time, if — if you fall… I’ll be there to catch you.

Elizabeth: Jake, will you hurry up? I’d really like to take a shower after my shift! And the plumber hasn’t fixed mine yet, so hurry up!

[ Knock on door ]

Aiden, can you get that? I’m not dressed.

Yeah.

Hi. It’s, uh, aiden, right?

Yeah. You’re jason.

Yeah, it’s, uh — it’s been a while.

Sorry. Do you want to come in?

Thanks. Elizabeth.

Elizabeth: Hi.

I hope it’s okay that I stopped by.

Yeah. Of course.

I saw you at my arraignment, and I just wanted to say thank you for being there.

Yeah, well, I-I just wanted to see for myself what was going on. Congratulations on having the charges dropped.

Thanks. Yeah, I’m sorry, I should have — I should have dropped by sooner.

No, no, I-I mean, it’s — it’s fine. Um, to be quite honest, I don’t know what sort of reception you would have received had you shown up any earlier. So maybe now the timing is just right.

Nina made me associate publisher, and I have every right to weigh in on where my pieces run.

Well, you don’t have any right to decide the layout of the paper, because that’s my job.

Oh, why don’t we call nina?

What —

see what she says?

You 5 years old? This is not kindergarten. You’re going to call the principal? No, we’re not doing that, adrian.

[ Knock on door ]

Diane: Knock, knock. Bad time?

So, how does it look?

Seeing it in print makes it seem real.

[ Laughs ] Of course it’s real. And we — we are all so excited to have you as the new face of Deception.

Thank you. I’m glad you circled back and that it’s working out this time.

Of course. Of course it’s working out. You are the perfect pairing with Deception, like peanut butter and chocolate or wine and cheese or a facial and a massage —

you know what? Lucy is right. This is going to be a great partnership. I say that not only on behalf of Deception, but also as your music manager. This is a really smart step for your career.

Maxie: Yeah, your popularity as an artist will bring eyes to Deception, and Deception’s large ad reach will boost your profile and expose your music to a whole new audience. It’s a win-win. We just need your signature.

Gladly.

[ Laughter ] Hi. I am so sorry I’m late. Traffic was just crazy. Have you signed that yet, honey?

Not yet.

Okay, perfect. Because it is so much harder to tear these things up and start from scratch.

Excuse the mess. Um, I just got off a double shift. I’m a head nurse now.

I heard, and epiphany died. It’s just so much to process, you know? First bobbie and then britt and epiphany. So much can happen in two years. But I’m happy you made head nurse. You deserve it. I know epiphany would be proud of you.

Thanks. Big shoes to fill, but so far, I’m loving it.

You look good. Happy.

Thank you. You look different.

It’s because I am.

Diane, I’m so glad we could meet. I was just showing adrian out.

In point of fact, we had not yet finished.

Go ahead. Call nina. In fact, she’s probably really busy. Why don’t you e-mail her and make sure you cc me?

Hold space for the review on the front page!

Perfect timing.

[ Laughs ] It looks like your day’s going well.

Nina has foisted this gossip columnist on me, made him associate publisher, and now I think he — he runs the place.

Oh, I’m sure that’s fun for you.

No. Nina is determined to turn the invader into some fluffy, gossipy rag magazine and making my life a living hell.

So you could obviously use some good news.

Do you have some to share?

I’ve done some digging, and with the information that I have found out, we are half a step closer to getting you back to practicing law.

So, I understand that this is not the first time you’ve approached alison about being the face of Deception. The woman who had the position until just recently, why did you two separate?

Um, that’s sasha gilmore. Sasha gilmore was wonderful and amazing, and we love her. And we’re so grateful to her for all she contributed. It’s just that, you know pop culture. It’s ever evolving and changing, and her look was just a little too wholesome. And the magazines right now want hipper, edgier, you know, the gen z that has that style. Which Blaze as a musician obviously has in spades.

Yeah. That’s, um — that’s unacceptable.

Which part?

Well, I’m just not going to have the word “edgy” associated with Blaze, because it just has less than savory connotations. Now, creative, gifted, those are acceptable.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. Blaze, uh, what do you think?

Well, my mom makes a good point. I define myself as a creative. Whether people find my look, my presentation edgy, so be it. But that’s not something I’m striving for.

Uh, well, you know, we just want you to be your own lovely, wonderful self.

Thank you.

Um, okay. I have a little problem here with clause number three. It says something about Blaze being a “spokesmodel” for Deception products. What exactly does that mean?

Anything you need, you, you know, just say it.

Look at me. [ Chuckles weakly ] I want my strength back. I feel like I just ran a marathon or something.

That’s going to take time. You’ve been through a lot. But you’re getting your color back to your face, right? So, when you were unconscious —

hey, I’m going to be okay. Alright? You’re not getting rid of me that easy.

That’s good to know.

Uh, you know, I was shocked when I, uh — when I heard that jason was arrested for shooting me. I’m glad — glad I got that all sorted out with anna.

You positive that that’s what happened?

Yeah. Yeah, I went after the two suspects. Caught up with them at the — at the pier. Told them to stop. One of them — one of them did. The other didn’T. The guy that did, I told him to turn around with his hands in the air. And when he did, it was jason. Then the other guy, he came back, and he opened fire.

I saw on the news you’d been shot.

Uh, yeah, I’m okay.

Thank you.

Okay, mom. The bathroom’s all yours. And, um, if you still want to get me that electric razor for my birthday —

hi, jake.

Why are you here?

Diane: Something about the disciplinary hearing that resulted in your disbarment has never sat right with me, so I did some digging. One of the original attorneys on the panel had to recuse himself.

On what grounds? I don’t know. You tell me. The attorney in question, fergus byrne.

Byrne. Byrne!

As in the older brother of dr. Neil byrne, with whom you had a relationship and then lied to the board to protect.

And also the reason I was disbarred.

Mm-hmm.

I had no idea there was a third brother. And yet he was the lawyer that recused himself on my case?

Mm-hmm. The byrnes were quite the overachieving irish american family — a doctor, a lawyer, an executive turned blackmailer.

This is really intriguing. Although how does it help me?

When fergus byrne recused himself, he was replaced with his very own law partner. Now, that alone gives the whole proceeding an air of illegitimacy, don’t you think?

I wanted to talk to you about a possible candidate for the police academy.

Oh, yeah. Well, we’re always looking for new recruits, especially one that comes recommended by the police commissioner.

Oh, yeah. Um, his name is, uh, dex heller. And I wanted to talk to you because you’re an instructor over at the academy, and I just wanted you to assess his potential.

Sure, I’d be happy to meet with him. How’d he do on the written exam?

He didn’t sit that yet. I-I wanted us to get the ball rolling first.

Okay. Uh, why is that?

He’s ex-military. He served in afghanistan. And so, therefore, I’m sure he’ll pass the physical and the jst and, you know, the alcohol and drug screening. I-I just wanted him to have extra time to study for the written exam.

Okay, that’s definitely not the usual process, commissioner, but I-I trust your judgment.

Thank you. Yeah. I have a good feeling about him, about dex. His experience with his former employer I think is going to be very useful for us.

Really? Uh, okay. What was he doing?

Working for sonny corinthos.

You know, the guy who shot me, I’d never seen him before. Not that it matters. Anna said they can’t find his body anywhere. No forensic evidence, nothing.

I guess jason knows what happened to him ’cause they were working together.

They were together on the roof, yeah. Lining up a shot at me.

Yeah, I don’t know what he was doing with that guy anyway. But I remember he was — he was trying to get me help. He was trying to stop the bleeding.

I guess we know where our tax dollars are going.

Tax dollars? What are you talking about?

I saw jason last night. He’s working as an informant. For the fbi.

You’ve been on the news a lot. Everyone’s talking about you, but I haven’t heard anyone say where you’ve been all this time.

All I can say is, uh, I got into some trouble, had to take a job I didn’t want in a place far away from here.

And they didn’t have phones in this faraway place or computers. Or — or did you just not feel like telling us you were alive?

Jake…

it’s — it’s okay. I’d be asking the same question. I know this doesn’t make much sense to you, but if I could have gotten in touch, I would have. And I know it’s a lot to ask, but please… believe me.

Would you believe you?

Blaze would represent Deception at all our in-store product launches and of course on the home & heart shopping channel. She would be showing off our merchandise. And look at that face. This face would sell millions of units of beauty and wellness products. Yeah, it’ll get a ton of eyes on Blaze. We can’t buy that kind of publicity for her music career.

Absolutely not.

I’m sorry?

No, she — Blaze will do photo shoots, yes, but she’s not going to be personally hawking products on some home shopping show or live events. No.

Okay. I’m sure we can come up with a compromise that works for everyone.

Natalia: No. No compromise. You will not be signing the contract unless you agree that the face of Deception is completely separate than this traveling salesperson of Deception.

In the old days, organized crime would quietly infiltrate the force or hand out bribes to put some cops in their back pocket. So now you’re telling me the department is actively recruiting mobsters?

Well, dex had a somewhat contentious parting with his former employer. I believe that he has left that life firmly behind. And he will be 100% loyal to us here.

You know hiring this guy is going to cause conflict with corinthos.

Yes, that — I think it’s natural that there’s conflict between law enforcement and racketeers.

I always thought you had a soft spot for corinthos and tried to go easy on him.

Well, I apologize if I gave that impression. We go back, sonny and — and detective falconeri is his son. And I know that raises a few eyebrows around here, but he has never cut his father any slack, and nor will anyone else in this department, including me. Sonny corinthos will be held to the same standard that we hold everyone else.

Can I ask what prompted this change of heart?

Say it was a series of events that occurred recently that shed light on the fact that we have to check organized crime in this city, specifically limit sonny’s influence. To that end, dex will be invaluable to us. He will be able to give us insight into how sonny’s operation is run. I think that if we pass up this opportunity, we will never get one like this again.

Jason’s been working for the feds this whole time?

Supposedly.

Why? Did he explain it?

Not really. He just said he was working as an informant for the fbi, and he wanted me to swallow it. But how can I swallow something? That’s the worst thing he could have done.

I guess I know how you feel about it.

I mean, working for the feds? He’s dead to me.

Come on. Why don’t you get the full story first before you write him off?

I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t want to talk about it. Go ahead, say it, dante. Whatever it is you’ve got to say, say it.

Jason was your right-hand man, for years. You relied on him.

When I came back from nixon falls, I had amnesia. And I come back, my wife’s marrying my — my best friend. I have feelings for another woman. Things were never the same after that. Maybe jason’s not the jason that I know. I’m sorry. I don’t — I don’t want to waste, you know, our valuable time talking about this right now. I want you to get better. I want you to even make fun of me if you want.

[ Chuckles weakly ]

I really don’t care. Hell, I’ll even let you. How’s that?

I’m gonna hold you to that.

[ Chuckles ] You better.

This is all very intriguing. But I-I don’t want to get my hopes up.

I believe the implication of bias gives us further grounds to appeal your disbarment.

Wish I had paid more attention to neil’s family tree. I mean, I knew there was a lawyer out there somewhere, vaguely. But if neil’s brother fergus was at his memorial, I never met him.

Well, maybe there’s a very good reason why fergus didn’t introduce himself to you. If he was even partially responsible for your disbarment, he’d want to stay as far away from you as humanly possible before you started putting the pieces all together.

True.

But fergus is no longer on the disciplinary committee. I checked. So he won’t be a factor in your appeal this time.

All joking aside, I truly am impressed with the progress that you’ve made on this so quickly. [ Sighs ] I’m just not sure that I should proceed with this.

Why the hell not?

Because my job at the invader is annoying, and it’s frustrating, but an argument in its favor is I get to sleep at night. I won’t be up at 3:00 in the morning making revisions on a closing argument or having nightmares that I make a procedural error and I get my client wrongly convicted.

Yeah. Well, there’s a lot to be said for a restful night’s sleep. But the alexis I know never took the easy way out for anything. You love a challenge, and you love being a lawyer. So, my friend, what is this really about?

Molly’s worried. She said the last time that I practiced law, I also happened to be a raging alcoholic, and I turned my life into a car wreck. And she’s worried that if the appeal is dismissed, I’ll dive right back into the bottle.

I see. Well, what did you say to that?

She’s got enough on her plate right now, so I don’t want to worry her, but I told her that I go to meetings regularly, and I’m working the program. And that is all true. But what if my trying to get my law license back derails my sobriety and everything else that I’ve worked so hard to salvage from the ruins of my old life?

Okay. I have crossed out all the sections about the live participation in pitching products, and the rest of it looks good to me.

Okay. Well, what if we want the live participation sections to remain in force?

Well, then you will have to find another face of Deception.

Hey. Look, I know that your mom wants the best for you and for your career.

Of course.

But you do realize being the face of Deception is a very prestigious role. I mean, it’s big, big, big. Are you really willing just to pass that up?

No, I don’t want to. Uh — but my mom makes a valid point. I’m a singer, a performer, not a spokesmodel.

Ah. I see.

But I don’t think that means we have to forget about the whole thing. Would you be open to hiring a second face? Someone to do the home & heart appearances and meet and greets? I’d do print advertising and related media.

We really need to discuss —

that is so perfect. You know, two faces, two are better than one. And I have a great idea how we’ll handle home & heart without you.

I-I told you everything I can.

Which is basically nothing! Am I supposed to give you extra points because you aren’t lying?

I-I know that I have a lot of things to make up for. I’m just hoping that if we can spend some time together, you can see that you can trust me.

Why would i want to spend time with you when I don’t even know how long you’re planning to stay this time? Or what even brought you back to port charles, because it obviously wasn’t me or anyone else in your family. But hey, at least you dropped by and got to play dad for a minute, right?

I didn’t want to leave, jake. I didn’t have a choice.

And you came back just as soon as you could, right?

No. No. I-I can’t explain… why, but I can see how much it hurts you.

You don’t know anything about me, so stop pretending you do.

I didn’t mean to upset you. I should go.

Then go!

Elizabeth: I’ll walk you out. You know, um, part of me wants to apologize for that, but… I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get where he’s coming from. I have a lot of those same questions for you myself.

I know.

But… despite all of that… …it really is good to see you. Your death never felt real to me. I’m glad it wasn’T.

Yeah, me, too. Jake has every right to be angry. I’m glad he’s not afraid to say so.

Don’t kid yourself. He may act tough, but he is still just a teenager who’s afraid of an awful lot. Mostly, he’s afraid of losing his father.

I know this isn’t easy. First you had to mourn your dad and accept that he’s gone. And now all of a sudden, he’s back with no real explanation of where he went for so long. But this isn’t good for you to be so angry with him.

Well, I don’t think it’s good for you to be so okay with this and act, like, all nice to him, like — like he didn’t do anything wrong and everything’s fine.

That’s not what I’m doing. Jake, I understand that you’re hurting, but it doesn’t make it okay for you to lash out at everyone around you. So can you tone down the snark just a little?

Did you know?

Know what?

That my dad was alive. He didn’t call you or get in touch with you or send you something? Did you know and — and keep it a secret from me?

No. No, god, no, jake. I didn’t know he was alive, I promise.

Okay. It’s just hard, you know? It’s like, I-I feel guilty because — never mind. It doesn’t matter.

No, no, no, no, please j– tell me. All of your feelings matter. And you get to feel however you want to about this. And you can talk to me. No judgment here, I promise you that.

Well, it’s — I-I feel guilty because I was so sad when dad died. I used to lay in bed at night wishing I could talk to him just one more time. But now I think that it was easier to have a dead father that people would tell you stories about, rather than one who’s alive but only shows up to commit crimes and get arrested and has nothing to say to his own family.

[ Knock on door ]

Come in.

Hi, anna. How are you?

What can I do for you, sonny? I’m very busy. Um, I don’t have a lot of time.

Oh, okay, I’ll get to it. Um, I just got back from seeing dante.

How’s he doing?

He’s doing — he’s doing alright. He got up, and he was walking. You know, full recovery’s going to take a while, but, uh — I hate seeing him that way.

Of course. But then, the alternative is much worse.

Dante also said that it — he’s positive it wasn’t jason who shot him.

I’m aware of that. Like I said, I have a lot of work to do, so if that’s what you came here to tell me —

yeah, well, if jason, uh, isn’t guilty of shooting dante, he was still on the roof with that sniper who shot at me.

Fortunately, you weren’t hit.

Yeah, I was lucky. But, you know, um, you know jason was there, so do you have any idea what you’re going to charge him with?

Sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.

No, I just didn’t, uh — didn’t expect to see you here. Um… I’m happy you are here, though. I wanted to, uh — I wanted to thank you.

For what?

Well, for the bandage. For calling 911. I think I, uh, probably would have bled out by the time the ambulance got there.

Well, if it hadn’t been for me, you wouldn’t be down on the pier in the first place.

Huh. That’s a good point. I take it back.

[ Chuckles ]

You know one thing I can’t figure out? Why’d you turn around? You didn’t want to be identified. Why didn’t you keep running?

Because I knew you wouldn’t stop chasing us. And I thought it would be… safer if I let you arrest me, but it turns out that I was wrong.

Let me ask you this, as a — well, as a cop and a victim. Can you tell me what happened to the guy who shot me?

No. The name I had for him was fake. But what’s real is he’s dead.

What happened to his body?

Uh, I have no idea. I have some theories, but it doesn’t really matter.

Well, maybe you can tell me this, then. Was he also an fbi informant?

My friend, none of us knows the future. If your appeal is denied, could the disappointment that you feel cause you to start drinking again? I don’t know. I — I guess anything’s possible. But I know you, and I know how strong you are. You have accomplished everything you have set your mind to. So there’s no reason to think that this would cause you to start drinking again. Hell, you say this place is a nightmare, but you’re not tossing ’em back, are you?

No.

No. So there you go.

Thank you.

Now let’s get to my other big news. My petition to petition the appeals court was granted. So now the justices just need to agree that there are grounds for an appeal. Even though, technically speaking, that window was closed a long time ago.

Diane, we both know that motions to vacate disbarment are rarely granted.

God! I do not have the time right now to manage your fear of success. So would you please stop being the voice of doom? Honey, I’m ready to run with this, but only if you are committed to seeing it through and of course, paying me back for all the hours I will be logging by joining my practice once we see this through.

Nina and I had a great idea I’d love to run by you.

I’m in the middle of something. Can it wait?

It’ll just take a minute. Everyone has been loving my column so much that nina and I thought we could split it off into daily pieces. We’ll call it something like “spotlight of society,” highlighting what all the movers and shakers of port charles are up to, who are the hot new couples, who’s getting divorced, who lost all their money. It could be a big hit. What do you think?

I think that if you don’t leave my office right now, you’ll be putting out the evening’s edition all by yourself.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. I know that’s meant to be a threat. But I’ll have you —

get out, adrian!

[ Sighs ] Do it.

Huh?

Please. Get me the hell out of here.

[ Laughs ]

Here you go. Consider this contract official.

Thank you. I will walk you out.

[ Laughs ] And thank you.

You know, I am so glad that we could work things out. We are going to do amazing, great things together.

Me, too. I’m the new face of Deception.

And a gorgeous face it is!

Congratulations.I’m so happy for you, baby. I have so many shoot ideas I cannot wait to talk to you about.

[ Women laugh, speak indistinctly ]

See? Everybody is so, so excited to get started working with you.

Oh, uh, just one more thing. And this doesn’t have to be in writing or anything, but I really would like your word that moving forward, alison will be a woman of mystery.

[ Chuckles ] What does that mean?

Just that her private life will remain off-limits. So she won’t be doing any interviews. You won’t publish puff pieces about her. Alison, or Blaze as you’ll be calling her, will just be known to the public by her beauty and her music.

Okay, um… is that what you want?

Absolutely.

Your father is a man of few words, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. He wouldn’t have shown up here if he didn’t want to see you.

Maybe he just felt like he had to.

No. No. I don’t know where he’s been for the past few years or why. But I saw the way he looked at you just now. He wouldn’t have stayed away on his own.

Why is he like this?

He’s complicated. But he never makes things up. And he doesn’t lie. He may not say a whole lot, but every word that comes out of his mouth is the truth.

You always defend him.

I’m explaining him. It’s different.

Doesn’t matter anyway. He knows I’m mad at him. I doubt he’ll ever show up here again.

I wouldn’t count on that. He’s not going to make some big declaration about how he’s your dad and he loves you. Instead, he’s going to keep showing up until you realize that’s the only explanation.

Guess you’ve been talking to sonny.

Yeah, he left a — he left a little while ago. You know, you working for the feds, that’s really messing him up.

I’m an informant, not an agent.

Sonny thinks you’re a traitor, but… there’s something else going on here. I mean, how many deals did you get offered over the years, and you didn’t take them? How many times could you have flipped on sonny, and you didn’t do it?

I didn’t inform on sonny.

Then who?

[ Sighs ] That I can’t — I can’t say.

Well, the fbi, they must have some serious leverage, something big, to get you to cooperate.

It was something big enough that I had no choice to… take their deal and do exactly what they wanted.

You swear to me it has nothing to do with my father?

Sonny has nothing to do with this. He’s safe. And I’m going to do my best to make sure he stays that way.

Son of a bitch. You have the gall to come in here and try to get me to file charges against jason?

I just wanted a heads up, just in case I have to testify.

There are no charges to file. It’s clear that jason stopped that sniper from shooting you. Anyway, this is an fbi case now, so if you’ll just — I mean, if you want me to arrest someone, I can always circle back to the attack on cyrus on christmas eve.

Anna, where is this hostility coming from —

no, I mean, it’s an open case. It’s in my jurisdiction, and I have a lot of dna evidence collected from the victim indicating you as the attacker. Cyrus may have declined to press charges against you, but I — honestly, I don’t need him in order to move forward.

Wh– I thought we were, like, getting closer, and that doesn’t seem to be the case now. What’s — what’s happening?

No, it’s — it’s not the case, sonny. It’s not. I think my attitude towards you was really colored by your friendship with robin and what you did for her and for stone. But if you thought for one second that I was okay with you beating an old man bloody and unconscious, no matter if he’s a vile person, you were sorely mistaken. I’m police commissioner. And your days of thinking that you can skate no matter what the offense, they’re over! So if you don’t mind — e-even if you do mind, get out of my office!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Upbeat music ]

Hope: So, uh… you heard?

Liam: About thomas leaving town? Yeah.

Hope: So what, did you come to celebrate? Say I told you so?

Finn: Gotta be a rough time for hope. Not only did your brother leave town, but he took douglas with him.

Steffy: It’s what douglas wanted, to be with his dad. It was his choice.

Finn: But even so, we know how much hope loves douglas. It must’ve been a real blow for her.

Steffy: Okay, babe, I know we may not see eye to eye on this, but hope is not a victim here. She’s another logan, who’s caused countless heartache in my family.

Luna: Oh, my god! What happened? What– what am I doing here?

Zende: That’s what I asked myself when you surprised me here last night.

Rj: Hey, told you she’d be in here hard at work, of course. Hi.

Luna: Hi.

Zende: Hey, luna. So, uh, have you heard the latest?

Luna: About?

Zende: Thomas.

Rj: He, uh, left on a plane to paris last night.

Luna: Oh, like a last minute business trip?

Rj: So, apparently, thomas proposed to hope. Again. And, um, she still couldn’t accept, and that was the final straw for thomas, so he just told her he was going away. And then he decided to take douglas with him.

Zende: And off they went.

Luna: Is hope okay with all of this?

Rj: Uh, no. No, she’s not okay with any of it. But, I mean, you can’t blame her. I mean, she just wasn’t ready to marry the guy, and… anyway, how this affects you is that it does change things around here. Um, especially where my sister’s line’s concerned.

Zende: Thomas has bowed out completely. He will no longer be working on hope for the future.

Luna: This is crazy. What does this mean for the line, then?

Rj: It means that we all have to step up, in thomas’s absence, for hope.

Hope: All right, go ahead. Do your little victory dance.

Liam: I didn’t come here to gloat.

Hope: Oh. Well, then, a lecture? I mean, it’s only fair that you have your shot, too. I mean, I have been read the riot act by steffy.

Finn: Do you really need to make this about the forresters versus the logans?

Steffy: You haven’t lived it the way my family and I have. I mean, the logans, they would relentlessly try to tear my family apart, and now hope is following in brooke’s footsteps.

Finn: You don’t think you’re exaggerating just a little bit?

Steffy: No, I do not. Not after everything hope has done to thomas. I mean, she’s been laser focused on him. She had him designing for her line. And she knew that he was crazy about her, that he was in love with her, but she didn’t care. She led him on. She played with his emotions. I mean, hope is not the innocent girl she once was. Themselves to yo hate this

febreze

Luna: God, I really hate this for hope.

Rj: Yeah, we all do.

Luna: I mean, there’s no way that they could just somehow work it out.

Rj: Well, hope wanted to. I mean, she still loves him. She just wasn’t ready to get married to him, but apparently it was all or nothing for thomas.

Zende: If hope couldn’t commit, thomas wasn’t gonna hang around hoping that she might change her mind one day.

Luna: Yeah, I mean, I guess I can see his point.

Zende: Yeah, me too. It’s hard when you care about someone, but they can’t give themselves to you in the way that you’d like them to.

Rj: Well, I’m sure hope had her reasons. I mean, I’m sure they were very good ones.

Zende: They just weren’t good enough for thomas.

Luna: Well, hey, I’m sorry for the way things ended, but I don’t know, maybe with a little time and distance?

Zende: Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Luna: I’m being a hopeless romantic, aren’t I?

Rj: No, there’s nothing wrong with that. But I do think, though, for thomas and hope, they’re– they’re done.

Luna: Okay, well, what about douglas? I mean, is he gonna stay with thomas indefinitely or is he gonna come back and stay with hope?

Zende: I think he wants to be with his dad.

Rj: Anyway, it’s all the more reason that we need to get behind hope and support her right now.

Liam: You really think, uh, that’s why I’m here, that’s why I came? Just to rub it in?

Hope: Mm-hmm. Well, steffy’s had her turn, so it’s only fair. Go ahead. Let’s hear it.

Liam: We may not be married anymore, but I don’t particularly get off on watching you hurt, either.

Hope: Well, it’s a little late for that.

Liam: Yeah, well, that’s on thomas and his, uh, expectations. Unrealistic ones, as it turns out.

Hope: Yeah, I just, um, wasn’t ready to accept a proposal just yet.

Liam: And he should’ve understood that. You’ve literally done nothing to feel guilty about here.

Hope: I did hurt him, liam. And now he wants nothing to do with me, and he has taken douglas with him.

Liam: Yeah, that, um, that part had to hurt.

Hope: You know how much I love douglas. I’ve been his mother since he was little, and even though i am not his birth mother, he is my son in all of the ways that count. And it certainly wasn’t the goodbye that I wanted.

Liam: Yeah, because his father whisked him away, basically in the middle of the night.

Hope: I don’t think thomas would’ve done that if it weren’t for steffy. I mean, she is behind all of this.

Liam: Why– how– why do you think that?

Hope: Liam, she told me to my face. She claims she’s just looking out for her brother, but really, we know the truth. Just like you. She has, um, never really wanted thomas and me together. And now she has made certain that that will never happen ever again.

Liam: You– you think this is all steffy’s doing?

Hope: No, not all of it. I did break thomas’ heart. I did. But steffy has certainly made the situation worse.

Steffy: Thomas used to be obsessed with hope, but he turned his life around. I mean, he completely redefined himself, his life. Like, he’s a– he’s a good person. He’s a wonderful father, an exceptional designer. I mean, the only thing he really wanted was hope. He wanted hope to love him. And what does she do? She leaves him heartbroken.

Finn: It sounds like hope’s heartbroken, too.

Steffy: She brought this on herself. She ruined things with liam. She destroyed things with– with thomas. You shouldn’t feel sorry for her. No one should. You know, whatever hope wants or whatever I think it’ll bring us c people ready to step up. I’ve never seen two people

Zende: Thomas totally got hope’s vision. I’ve never seen two people more in sync, professionally speaking. The good news is, hope has a supportive team in place. People ready to step up.

Rj: Yeah, like zende and me. And you know, I know we’ve had our issues, but, uh, I think this is gonna be good for us. I think it’ll bring us closer together.

Zende: That’s a nice thought, cuz.

Luna: And look, I’ll pitch in, too. You know, whatever hope wants or whatever she needs.

Rj: Yeah, that’d be great. I’m sure she’d love that and zende would appreciate it, too.

Zende: Come again.

Rj: Well, I mean, you haven’t really gotten a chance to work with luna and see how professional and talented she is.

Liam: I was, uh, hoping it wouldn’t get to this point between you and steffy again.

Hope: Well, it wouldn’t have if steffy didn’t go on the offensive for her brother.

Liam: Yeah, why– why is that surprising? Steffy’s always been hyper protective of thomas.

Hope: I’m so tired of hearing that get thrown around as if it’s some sort of excuse, like it justifies her behavior. And, liam, you should’ve heard the things that she was saying to me. It was like it didn’t even cross her mind that she was destroying a family. It didn’t matter to her. As long as I was out of thomas’ life, if douglas is collateral damage, well then so be it.

Liam: Oh, well, come on. I mean, I– I– I know that you’re upset.

Hope: Oh no, I– I am upset, liam. I am. The breakup with thomas was hard enough, but for steffy to play chess with my family? To involve douglas? That… that is a step too far. Liam, he was heartbroken. He was saying things like, “why aren’t daddy and I enough?” Like, do you not love us enough?

Liam: Oh.

Hope: Yeah.

Liam: I’m sorry.

Hope: I am, I’m sorry too. I just– I would’ve given anything to have spared douglas that.

Liam: Just give him time. He loves you.

Hope: I love him too. Oh, I just wish thomas had taken some time to have, you know, thought about everything a little more before he left. But, you know, steffy just had to stir things up and destroy what we had. Look, liam, I know that you don’t want to believe it and you don’t think it’s true, probably, but… steffy is responsible for a lot of this. Thomas and douglas, they would still be here if steffy hadn’t gotten involved.

Finn: Look, I know that you’ve been going through a lot lately, but don’t you think you’re being a little harsh?

Steffy: Why? Because hope’s some sweet, innocent chick? She hasn’t done anything bad in her life? No, things turned for her the moment she put my brother through hell.

Finn: Babe, just listen, okay? I know that you’re hurting for thomas, but let’s not–

Steffy: What are we talking about? She manipulated him. That’s extremely cruel. She played with his emotions. Like, I don’t know if she was doing it to get back at me or my family, like… I– I wouldn’t put it past her. But, you know, kids were involved, like douglas. Douglas had his hopes up and so did thomas. He thought they were gonna be a family, but she wasn’t gonna commit. No, she was just leading him on.

Finn: Look, I understand that your relationship with hope has been long and complicated and often unpleasant. I’m just saying that I don’t think you can put all of the blame on hope. If you’re one of the millions of people with diabetes Here in quite a short

Zende: I already know how amazing luna is. Everyone at forrester does. She’s made a name for herself here in quite a short period of time. So, it would be my pleasure working more closely with luna.

Hope: I realize that if I had just accepted thomas’ proposal, that things would be very different right now. Thomas knew where my head was at. We were on the same page. Until steffy got in her brother’s head and just told him I was using him. Told him that I was just another trashy logan and refused to see what was actually there between me and her brother. How much I loved him. Which, I– I know you don’t want to hear that.

Liam: Sure don’T.

Hope: It’s true, liam. I do love thomas. I mean, would we have gotten married? I don’t know. I don’t have a crystal ball, but we never really had a fair chance to find out. No, steffy just did everything in her power to undermine me, to her brother, to pollute his opinion of me, to make it forrester versus logan all over again, so it’s been real fun in this workplace recently. I’m sorry. This was, uh, quite a bit of an overshare.

Liam: It’s all right. You’re going through a lot. If you, uh, if need a little more help with beth going forward, I’ll be around. I’m not gonna lie, uh… and I’m not going to pretend I’m not relieved that thomas is out of your and our daughter’s life. And I– you know what? I’m gonna go out on a limb and I’m going to say that, uh, I think you’ll find this is a good thing in the end. I really do. I think, you know, and who knows, maybe, um, there’s someone else out there, another man comes into your life who’s, uh, well, worth saying yes to.

Finn: You getting all wound up over this, it’s just– it’s not good for you. Okay, babe? And putting all this on hope, I mean, maybe just– maybe try feeling for her a little bit.

Steffy: Feel for her? Finn, come on.

Finn: I mean, hope, she’s had her own challenges too. I mean, liam dumps her and she’s just trying to find her way and figure her life out.

Steffy: She wasn’t dumped by liam. She chased after thomas in rome. She kissed thomas.

Finn: Okay, yes, but all I’m saying is just maybe try to have a little compassion, okay? So this doesn’t escalate and spiral out of control.

Steffy: Well, hope did say because I was interfering in their relationship that, uh, I’m gonna regret it.

Finn: Did hope threaten you?

Steffy: Yeah, I’m not– I’m not worried about that. But I don’t like you defending her.

Finn: I’m not defending her. Okay, you are my wife, okay? You come first, you always will. I’m just saying she is obviously lost, okay? And part of me feels for her now in that way.

Steffy: Okay, I mean, like, that I get. Like, you’re always trying to find the best in someone and that’s– that’s really sweet and I love that about you. So, let’s not let hope or thomas or sheila’s death get in between us, okay?

Finn: No.

Steffy: What’s important is our love for each other and our family. That’s what matters, okay? Always.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, so

how do I look gorgeous? Oh, you didn’t even look at me. So how do you know I saw you 30 seconds ago? You were perfect then. Besides, we’re not going to a red carpet event. Yeah, yeah, I know, but the paparazzi were at the hospital when I got released. They could be there today, too. Oh, you sure I look alright?

You look lovely, as always. Somehow, I don’t think this has anything to do with your appearance. No, you’re right. It’s not. Today, I find out, of course. If I’m cancer free, dare I hope for another miracle?

There you are. Off to work already? Yes, I have an early shift. What you got there? Oh, Justin just, uh, dropped this off. It’s, uh, All the evidence against me. Prosecution has to share up the defense. There’s a flash drive in here with loads of pictures on it too, apparently. I wish I didn’t have to go in. I’d help you.

Oh, it’s alright. I know you’ll be with me in spirit. Definitely. I’m so glad we’re in this together, Sarah. It means so much to me. You believing in me. No, it’s not just me. Harris doesn’t think you shot him either. Yeah, that’s a start. Now all we have to do is find actual proof that I am innocent. Can you please just stop talking about Holly?

My God, you’re acting like she’s some kind of villain. Tate, that girl nearly destroyed your entire future. And as you very well know, there is a restraining order against you, so she shouldn’t even be calling you in the first place. Which is why she had to pose as my mother to get me to come to the phone.

Really? You’re defending that? She wanted to see how I was doing, Mom. She’s my friend and she cares about me. So will you chill the hell out? Excuse me. First of all, do not speak to me that way. And secondly, no, I’m not going to chill the hell out until you tell me why you won’t stop speaking to that spoiled little brat.

Everybody go. I just went out to make a call. Didn’t you get the memo? Party’s over. Oh, that’s okay. I was on my way out anyway. I’m, uh, going to see Tate. Leave her alone. Leave her alone, what I’m just stating a fact. Which you at least stated to get my stepdaughter upset. Can we not do this, please? I’m out of here.

Brady, wait. Don’t go yet. Why?

Mom, I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. Honey, sorry for what? What? The drugs. The drugs that I OD’d on. They were mine. I’m so sorry, I should have told everyone from the beginning. Do you think? But why now, Holly? What, did you have some sort of epiphany? Okay, don’t come down on her. Don’t expect me not to come down on her, because I’m about to, okay?

Because it’s been my son, my son who took the rap for this the whole time, my son who went to jail, my son who’s been going through hell because you decided to lie about this for weeks! Honey, is this true? The jokes are yours. You seriously don’t believe this story, do you? AJ, please! You were right, I should have told everyone sooner.

You knew about this? Eric, he could just He knew that I was upset, that something was really bothering me, so I had to tell him. I just, I couldn’t keep it in any longer. Honey, if this is true, why, why did you go to Eric and not me?

Extend through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives. I

told Eric because I was scared. I knew he wouldn’t judge me, and I was afraid that if I told you the truth, that you would blame yourself. Well, since you’re finally being honest, Holly, I trust you’ll tell us the whole story. What whole story? Well, you say that the drugs weren’t tight, so Was he your dealer?

What is, what is your problem, man? Why do you hate my son so much? Take it down a notch. Stannis. Tate had nothing to do with how I got those drugs. He told me not to take them. He warned me not to take them. Oh, please. The delinquent who was kicked out of boarding school is suddenly a saint? Elvis, we can take this right outside if you want, man.

Oh, gladly. Will, you just listen. Please. Alright, if everyone could just calm down and let her speak. Mom. Remember the other night when you and EJ came into my room while I was recovering and you thought I was asleep? Well, I overheard what you said. About how you were afraid you had been a terrible mother.

How you thought you’d been selfish and you hadn’t paid enough attention to me. And, I knew you blamed yourself when you were pregnant. With the whole accident, with my baby brother. I thought it was your fault he died. And so So I thought if you found out you had a druggie for a daughter too, on top of it all, I didn’t think you’d be able to take it.

I thought it’d be too much for you. Honey. My precious girl. Mom. I’m so sorry. Do you actually call this evil or something? Mom, she’s not a bad person, I swear. Oh yeah? Tell that to your ankle monitor. This is my fault, not hers. You’re sneaking out of here. I’m going to see her. Going to see her? Tate, you broke into the DiMera mansion, the house of the district attorney who hates your father and is out to get you.

Stop yelling. Everyone in this place can hear you. Well, you know, I don’t give a damn, because you went in jail for something that you didn’t commit, and now you’re in a halfway house for some earthly reason, all because of this girl that you are defending, who knows perfectly well how she OD’d, but claims that she can’t remember, and so now everybody hates you.

You should finally believe me. Tate, we have always believed you. From the beginning, we told you that, over and over and over, and we have been praying that that selfish That selfish little girl would just wake up and, and clean up this whole mess, and instead what does she do? She regains consciousness and she throws you under the bus.

So, so this girl that you say is a good person, I’m not buying it. Holly Jonas is bad news. She is a selfish little, little liar whom I absolutely despise with every fiber of my being. Honey,

you know you could have come to me. I’m sorry. I thought I was protecting you. So you confided in Eric. Why? Because he was a priest? Because Holly and I are close. Hold on. Hold on. It doesn’t matter who confided in who. It doesn’t matter. What matters is the here and now. That’s my son. Who’s been in a halfway house going through hell because you’ve been lying for weeks, Holly!

Brady, I’m sorry. It was a horrible mistake. One that I will regret for the rest of my life. I just wish I told the truth from the beginning. So how do we know you’re telling the truth right now? Because, because I have proof. Proof? It’s in my room. Show me.

I have a pretty heavy rotation today, so I’m going to be home a little late. It’s just so much of this. I’ll probably be stuck in the same spot when you get home from work tonight. Well, you know. Be sure to check on the wee bear every once in a while. Oh, I will definitely be peeking in on the wee bear in every 10 minutes or so, so not to worry there.

And I’ll call during my breaks to check in on my sweethearts, all right? Now, get to sleuthing. I have a very good feeling about this. I’m not going to give up until I find something. I know you will.

Oh, I could never make it as a detective. Just searching for clues all day. Needles in a haystack.

Are you done with your nap already? Oh dear. Come here, darling. It’s okay. Shh, shh, shh, shh. Yes, it’s okay. Daddy’s here, don’t you worry. And he’s not gonna let anyone send him up the river for something he didn’t do. Don’t you worry. No. I’ll make you proud of me soon enough, Victoria. That I promise. Are

you ashamed of me, Mom? Honey, how can I be ashamed of you when I know you only withheld the truth to protect me? I just, I wish you had come to me about this. I’m really sorry. I just, I didn’t want you to fall apart. I love you for that. I do, but I’m fine. I’m a lot stronger than you think. So, um, show me this proof.

Isn’t that the jewelry box you got last year at the garage sale? That’s what I told you on the way.

I don’t know what to say.

Look, we need to go downstairs and show everyone this. Right now.

Here they are. These are mine. I promise you, Tate was shocked when he saw these at the New Year’s Eve party. I even offered him some, but he wouldn’t take them. He was upset that I was going to. He tried to stop me from taking them. Holly. And yet you let my son take the blame for your overdose this whole time.

Well, you know, maybe she didn’t remember right away. Maybe she only remembered recently. Is that it, Holly? Did the coma affect your memory?

So how was the scan? Being in that tube was a very weird experience, let me tell you. Oh, thank God I’m not claustrophobic. Oh, and having to lie perfectly still for another 30 minutes. Well, that was hard for you, I’m sure. Oh, oh. Paulina? Babe, I’m sorry I kept you waiting. Oh, no, no. No problem. Oh, so, what did the oncologist, uh, have to say?

Well, uh, he was called away, but he asked me to go through your test results. Okay, so Tell us the good news.

Please, will you quit yelling at me? Oh my god, do you not understand how upsetting this is, Tate? I mean, this has been hell on all of us. Me. Me, most of all. So I don’t need you getting mad at me on top of everything else.

You’re right. You’re right. I’m sorry. I, you’re right. I should, I shouldn’t be lashing out on you. Don’t worry.

Okay, look, um. I want to tell you something. And I’m really, really hoping that you’re going to take it to heart. Is this going to be another lecture on relationships? No, no, it’s not, it’s not a lecture per se. It’s just a few words of, of wisdom. So Relationships are complicated. Yeah? And um, I know I’ve had my fair share.

share of them, and I have learned a lot. I’m sure you have, Mom. But this isn’t like when you were younger. Everything’s different now. Okay, fine, yes. Maybe we didn’t use apps back in the day, or what do you, what do you call it? When you ghost each other, or we didn’t communicate on social media, but those feelings that you get when you’re involved with somebody, they’re exactly the same.

What? And you think I don’t know that? Just let me I’m not a little boy anymore. Let me finish, please.

You know that rush? That rush that you feel when you’re involved with somebody? That’s infatuation. A crush. But guess what?

It’s exciting, but it’s temporary. It’s not the basis of a strong and healthy relationship. Not something that can last decades, like your grandparents marriage. I’m not looking for something that can last decades. Oh, I know I’m not a little kid, but I’m not middle aged. I’m not looking to get married. I know.

I know that you’re not middle aged or looking to get married, Kate. But you are ready to start thinking about relationships. And you have to understand, the key to a successful relationship is is mutual respect. And you think I don’t know that? Well, I don’t know. I think you clearly forgot that one when it comes to Holly because she clearly does not respect you or she wouldn’t have let any of those things happen.

And she doesn’t give a damn that you were falsely accused of a terrible crime or she would have come forward and told the truth. Am I wrong?

I’m sure she has her reasons for not being able to tell the truth.

There it is. Making excuses for inexcusable behavior.

Okay, well, this is turning into somewhat of a lecture now, so I am gonna just stop there and I’m gonna just keep it really simple. And I just want you to ask yourself this. Tate, look at me. Ask yourself. Do I trust Holly enough for her to be honest? Will she always have my back? Where

was I? Witness number five. I was getting in my car in front of the bistro and I heard sirens, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I thought I saw someone running away from the back. I think it was a man, but I’m not sure. It could have been a large dog. Big help. Witness number five. Now, let’s see here. Witness number six.

There were a number of homeless people in the area, probably junkies. One man was passed out against a what? What’s that got to do with anything?

I envy you, little one. Why wouldn’t give for a nap right now? But sir, No rest for the wicked. Witness number seven. I heard two gunshots and saw a man crumble to the ground. I was across the river and could barely see only figures in the shadows. Bollocks.

You’re scams. Show that you are in complete remission. There is no sign of cancer. God. Oh, for this wonderful, wonderful news. I germed up the doctor. Oh, does this mean you have to scrub up again? No, no, no, no, no. Uh, it’s totally okay. Moments like this are the best part of my job. Paulina, I am I’m so happy for you.

Oh, I’m even happier for me. Oh my gosh. Oh, well, so what’s next? I mean, I know I have to, you know, have those radioactive iodine treatments again, right? Yes. So, um, once that’s scheduled, you will be on your way. Admitted to the hospital and then you’ll be isolated for a few days and after that, you’ll have to take a couple of precautions, all of which will be explained to you in detail, and you can always look up any instructions on the hospital portal.

Oh, so, but, yeah, okay, but, uh, what about, you know, after that, when I, when I go home, um, will I still be able to have all the Bear Claws from Sweet Biz to my heart desire. Oh yeah. I can have some too, can’t I? Oh yes. And once, once your treatment is completed, you can have as many Bear Claws or anything from Sweet Biz.

It can be a healthy part of your diet. Oh, fine. Fine. Well then, eh, babe and I, oh, we’ll be, we’ll be just fine. Oh yes, we will. We’ll be just fine. We will. Oh, God bless you. No, it wasn’t the coma. I mean, yeah, at first my memory was a little bit fuzzy, but after a day or so, I remembered everything. And then because what I heard you say about blaming yourself, I lied, and I didn’t know how to take back that lie.

I mean, I was too much of a coward to take it back. Well, Holly, I’m sorry, but I’m done with the talk, okay? I don’t know if they get it, but I get it. You decided to not hurt your mother’s feelings and ruin my kid’s life instead. All right, EJ, here’s what’s gonna happen. I want you to get my kid out of that halfway house, now.

And I want all the charges dropped on him, now. You understand? It can’t happen immediately, Brady. It’ll take time. Time is something you don’t have, because if it doesn’t happen immediately, I will file a civil suit. By the way, I want an apology, EJ. A very public apology for my son. I want it in newspapers, I want it in The Spectator, I want it in skywriting!

Damn it. It’s okay, your stepfather will take care of this, it’ll be fine. Mom! No, it won’t be fine! I made such a mess out of everything! Nothing will ever be fine again! Honey. Hey, Nicole. Let her go. Let her go. It’s okay. It’s okay. How

long have you known? Um, she told me today. After christening, I just I just felt that was her place to tell you, not mine. You’re one of the few people I know who still keeps the confidence. Yeah, well, my seminary training still kicks in now and then. You know, she wasn’t going to go to the christening. But then I told her, you know, if she doesn’t go, then we’re not going to go.

I’m glad you were all there. It meant a lot to me. Yeah. Me too.

Somehow comforting. You know, I felt a little, just a little bit closer to my little boy, up in heaven. Nicole, you’re a, you’re a good mother. Well, I don’t feel like one right now. But if Holly learns from her mistakes, then It’s taken care of. Um,

for being there for Holly. Always. Hey, Jane. Hey,

you. Hi.

That was a very brave thing you did in there.

I love you, you know?

I love you, too. You know, sometimes I just wish that you and mom would

You know,

your mom and I, we’re, we’re both happily married now. Which means you have even more people. In your life, who care about you?

I’m always here for you. I know.

Oh, thank you again, dear Sarah, for getting me through this. I know I could be a handful. Oh, well, you know, maybe two handfuls. No, you are not a handful at all, Paulina. You, in fact, are my favorite patient. And not just mine. All the nurses and doctors here love being around you. You make us feel appreciated.

Oh, laughter is important, right? Especially around here. It is, it is. And make sure that you check your records online and make a follow up appointment with your oncologist. Oh, we can do that. Okay, okay, well, um, we’ll see you, dear, and um, take care. And enjoy that precious little girl of yours. I absolutely will.

And you guys take care, both of you. Okay.

Hey. Hey. Is everything okay? I’m just super frustrated. It’s like, I’ve been searching for hours, and I’m just banging my head into a brick wall over and over again. It’s like an endless maze of dead ends. You will find something, and I’ll help you as soon as I’m home. Oh, that’d be great. Thank you. Okay, I have to go do my rounds, but, um, maybe take Victoria for a jog.

Clear your head. Well, that’s a fantastic idea. It’ll give us an excuse to test out that new stroller your mum gave us. Okay, well, let me know how it goes. Kiss my girl for me. I will. Love you. I love you too. Did you hear that, little one? Mommy sends kisses. Yes. And she thinks that we should get some fresh air.

So, we’re gonna go play with your new stroller. What do you think of that, pumpkin? I’ll just get changed into my jogging clothes and Wait a minute. Rafe said that one of the witnesses described my jogging clothes. I wear them every time I run. They’re pretty distinctive.

So it’s done? EJ made the calls? That was quick. What? Um, Justin, this is really, really good news. Um, uh, let us know if we can do anything else. Okay, thank you. What’s going on? Pack your bags. Buddy, you’re coming home. What? Are you serious? Thousand percent. I’m coming home now? Today? Oh my god, I can’t believe it.

What’s it? Well, you just. It just goes home, and we just wait for what happens next? No, what happens next is going to happen tonight. Justin’s going to have someone come to the house and take that ankle monitor off. What? I don’t have to wear this stupid thing anymore? No, you don’t, because all the charges have been dropped, including the restraining order, and Justin confirmed it with EJ.

This, I, I, I just, this, this is, this is fantastic. It’s so unexpected, but why, what happened? Holly, Holly admitted it. Holly admitted that Tate had nothing to do with the overdose, that the drugs were hers, and that he even tried to stop her from taking the drugs. Oh, thank God. Finally. Son, everyone now knows that you were telling the truth all along.

Oh, wait a minute. What do we have here?

Oh my god, something, something must have

Well, that’s what I get for wearing the same tracksuit all the time. Victoria, this is it. It’s a slam dunk. Yes, yes indeed. Daddy’s gonna be a free man. Your daddy is gonna be free.

Well, my two favorite words in the world are now cancer and free. Ooh, smashed together in one sentence, of course. Oh, yeah. You know, I had a feeling. I had a feeling, but until you hear it from the doctor, I I just couldn’t rest easy. Well, I’m going to rest easy tonight. Just want to spend a cozy night at home with my husband.

Blissful and carefree. Oh, Abel, I have never, never loved a humble or bold as much as I do at this moment. Yeah, I know, I know, I gotta have to spend several days at the hospital again for that iodine treatment. But for now I’m not going to worry. Well, it’s just standard procedure. You’ll get through it with flying colors.

Oh, well, flying colors is fine. Fine with me. As long as I don’t glow in the dark. Oh, you are always glowing, my darling. Only when you’re around. E. J., what a day. Yeah.

But I am grateful for Eric helping out and encouraging Holly to be truthful. Well, she obviously loves and trusts him, which gives him credibility to me. Yeah. Yeah, Eric and Holly, they have a very special connection. So you had the charges dropped? Done deal. Okay. Thank you. I’m sure you had a steamroll over bureaucracy, and I, I know that Holly will be relieved as well.

And I’m sure she will be, since it’s obviously been weighing heavily on her, her deception. And it’s obvious that she cares about Tate a great deal. But we’ve known that for a while.

And now I’m wondering, and I’m sure you are as well, Who did she get those drugs from? Did she go off on her own looking for them? I don’t know, EJ. I don’t know. But we’re going to have to question her. Where they came from and, and who gave them to her. And not just for the obvious reasons, but because they nearly killed her.

And that would have destroyed you, I know. Yes. But now the most important thing is to support her. Help her through this very difficult time. And we will do that together. As a family.

So Holly confessed. She did. She did to me, to Eric, to her mother, even to EJ. Our lovely DA, who is probably very humbled at the moment. Yeah. Wow, I can’t believe it. Holly really came through for me. Yeah. Finally. And I’m going to call my dad as soon as we wrap up, because your grandparents are going to be very upset.

Very happy that you are coming. Let’s go out and celebrate. Bistro! Oh, no? Bad idea. Brady Pub! Better. I should call Holly. Um, why don’t you wait until you’re settled in? You know what? Don’t go overboard with thanking her. Okay? Because I’m still very, very angry with what she’s put you through. I was angry too.

But I’m not anymore. I mean, come on. She told everyone she didn’t have to I told her she didn’t have to What what do you mean? The last time Holly and I talked I Told her she didn’t have to tell the truth about the drugs to anyone Hey You’re gonna continue to let her off the hook continue to take the fall for her Why do you keep protecting her like this?

You are aware. She almost ruined your life. Please stop It’s okay. It’s over now. Okay. Okay, you’re right. Yes, it’s over. It’s over. You’ve been vindicated. I’m so gleeful. So should I start packing now? Yeah, but you should start packing right now. Man, I cannot wait to get out of this place. Oh my god. Come here.

I don’t know.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Jude, you have become a new creation and have clothed yourself in Christ. See in this white garment, the outward sign of your Christian dignity, unstained into everlasting life of heaven. Amen. Sorry. So sorry. And sorry to you as well, oh lord. Oh lord. I have something to say. Something that is very important.

Something that cannot wait. Leo, what are you doing? What I should have done from the very beginning.

I should have told the truth from the beginning. And I never would have been in this mess. I lied for Holly so many times. And I helped her break up Johnny and Schnell. And then she ODs and I lie because I don’t want her to get in trouble. And then the only one who gets in trouble is me. Sir, are you sure you don’t want to schedule that private confession in the confessional?

No, this is something I need to say in front of everyone.

I get that telling the truth is hard, but Holly said she would. So why the hell did I tell her not to? I know why? Because I want her to think I was this totally selfless. God, it was so dumb and pathetic. Now I’m going to be stuck in this stupid room, writing in this stupid ass journal for a long time. And I have no one to blame but myself.

I’ve been to a lot of interrupted salient weddings, but a christening? Leo. Don’t make me regret inviting you. Why was he invited? Shall I summon the police and have Leo removed so he can crack on with the baptism? Honey, he hasn’t committed a crime. No, I wouldn’t be so sure about that. Oh. Shh, shh, shh.

What I neglected to say, well, the truth is, um,

I didn’t disclose that I am covering today’s blessed event for the society pages of the spectator. Therefore, if anybody has any objections to their photograph being taken. Speak now or forever hold your peace. Is that all? No. While I have the floor, I would also like to say, I know a lot of people here have suffered losses.

Speaking for myself, I lost the love of my life.

Not to death, but still, my heart aches for him and always will.

Nicole and EJ lost their baby, which was a terrible loss. And I know that it’s just the tip of the iceberg of losses that people gathered here today have suffered.

But precious baby Jude, who is being christened here today, Has his entire life in front of him.

And that brings us hope. And I am honored to be his very godfather. Some may cast a skeptical eye, but that is a role that I take very seriously. You see, this little boy means a lot to me because

Well, because he’s an amazing kid. Two godfathers for the price of one. Here’s one lucky kid.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Parents and godparents, this light is entrusted to you to be kept burning brightly. This child of yours has been enlightened by Christ. He is to walk always as a child of the light. May he keep the flame of faith alive in his heart. When the Lord comes, may he go out to meet him with all the saints in the heavenly kingdom.

You have been clothed in Christ, baptized in his name. Alleluia. Hallelujah. I need some air. John?

Doc, why don’t you go back inside? I’m okay. I just I didn’t feel comfortable hanging out in the house of the Lord, knowing what I’ve done. But isn’t this really the best place?

God’s mercy has no bounds. Do

you remember what I said this morning before we came to the christening?

I urged you to focus on the blessings of the day. Our family and a new child. Forget about your own pain for right now. Just for, just for the one day, you know, and I love you. If you can’t do that for yourself, then maybe you could do it for me, because it’s very hard for me to see you suffering.

Constantine was able to forgive you for the death of his daughter, if you even had anything to do with that. So can’t you at least forgive yourself?

My whole family’s at a baptism right now, and I hope they’re praying for a miracle for me. Because otherwise I’m gonna be trapped in this place for a really long time.

Um, okay, I’m taking off. I’m gonna go see Tate, okay? Okay, tell him I’ll be there, uh, by the time biz hours are over, okay? I will. Hey, hey. So, a little dramatic interlude? What the hell was all that about? Ah, language, Melinda. Have you forgotten that we are in a church? No, but I think you’ve forgotten not to be a blithering idiot.

My God, I think I saw my life flash before my eyes. Yeah, well, all’s well that ends well. Holly, honey. EJ and I are gonna head out. We need to get home before the guests start arriving. Okay, sounds good. Um, I’ll see you in a few. Alright, I’ll see you at home. Okay.

How was the star of the show? He was such a trooper, huh? Yes, he was. Shit. And now his little eyes are closing, so we’re gonna take him to the car. Great. You know what, I’ll be right there. Okay.

Hey.

Hey. What is it? Hi, Mom. Hi, my love. Wow, nice dress. You look very pretty. Thank you, honey bunny. Um, tell us the christening. Oh, Jude got through it with flying colors. Didn’t even cry once. Really? Mm hmm. And your dad was a very, very proud godfather. Yeah, he’s gonna be a great one. Make sure to tell him that, okay?

Cause he’s not so sure. Why isn’t he sure? Oh, is it because I’m a screw up? What? No, Tade. It’s because he thinks he is, and we both know he isn’t. He loves you so much with all of his heart. He’s a really good dad. Actually, I, I took this picture of him at the christening. Like, there he is. With his godson. Oh my god, he’s holding him like a little football.

Yeah, he used to hold you like that too, you know. Are you scrolling for pictures of Holly, Doug? No, I was actually looking for one of you and Alex. Didn’t he go with you? No. Actually, we broke up. Oh. I didn’t know. It’s because of me, isn’t it? You

doing okay?

You know, I knew it was going to be hard watching Eric and Sloane christen their son after just losing our little baby. But I, I am glad that I showed myself I could get through it. And you did. You were heroic, in fact.

Hey, Jay, I don’t, I don’t know about that. I, I just, my whole goal was to not fall apart and I think I managed that. Anyway, thank you, thank you. For letting me do this. Throwing the reception, I mean. I’m not letting you do anything, sweetheart. I’m so proud of you. How generous you are. So nice that you, that you’re willing to do this, that you want to do this.

I don’t know how you feel about Eric. But this is important to you, so it’s important to me.

You know, I couldn’t help but be distracted by Holly at the church. I mean, I know she was reluctant to go because she didn’t want to be around Theresa and Brady, but it’s important. I mean, she’s just not only seemed uncomfortable, but she seems so sad. It’s not like her at all. Hey, she’s been through a hell of a lot.

I’m sure it’s just gonna be a long time before she feels like her old self again. Yeah? It’s okay. Eric, if I

tell you something, will you promise not to tell anyone else? I promise. I might not be a priest anymore. But anything said in confidence here is sacred to me. I promise. Whatever you share with me will stay between us. Okay, then. God, I’m ashamed I’ve kept this a secret for so long and I don’t think you’re going to be too shocked when I tell you this, but you’re going to be really disappointed in me.

The night that I OD’d, I’m 100 percent sure the drugs I took weren’t teeth. Because they were mine.

Oh, you’re still here? Yeah, and I’d like a word. I sense a lecture coming. Leo, while I am very grateful you didn’t blow our baby swap secret sky high in the middle of Jude’s christening, How should I say this? Are you insane? Look, me in a church is like Mother Teresa in a casino. I was a fish out of water.

I was overwhelmed by the majesty of it all. And that priest, he got me feeling all repentant. Then I looked over at Nicole, and she looked so sad, and I started thinking about the night Jude was born, and I don’t know. I think I was compelled by the Holy Ghost. Whatever, the point is I was moved to do the right thing by Nicole and EJ.

Until EJ mentioned calling the authorities and you realized how much trouble you would be in. Well, yeah, until then. That’s part of why I decided to shift gears. Yeah, and before you did that strategic shifting, I highly doubt you considered how much trouble we’d be in. Although I imagine you thinking of your gravy train ending factored into you not blurting out the truth.

Well, I saw Sloane looking all Madonna esque. Oh, the Virgin, not the Queen of Pop. The Virgin. Oh, clearly it was an apparition. And then I glanced at Nicole and I thought about that pouty teen Holly and what a hot mess she’s turned out to be and I thought, it might be best for everyone if I keep my mouth shut.

Yeah. So I did. Will you both stop looking at me like I’m Vlad the Impaler? I am looking at you like you’re Leo the loose lipped nutjob who almost ruined my life! And mine! And yours! Well, almost doesn’t count, now does it? Look, I promise I will never be tempted again to tattle on the three of us. Can you both stop being negative Nancys and let’s go party?

The champagne sitch at the DiMera mansion, it is on point. I would not.

Hello everybody. Hey. Hi. See you again.

Marlena. Oh. John. Hey buddy. How’s it going? Eh, it’s going well. Where’s your wife? Well, she was hoping to get here on time, but they were short staffed at the hospital. She couldn’t leave. Oh, what a shame. Hey. Hey there. Hi there. Hi. And where’s, uh, where’s Kate? Well, she’s here. She’s helping, uh, put up the buffet tables.

That, uh, Christine was very moving, wasn’t it? It was perfect.

Joan, um What are you up to? Catch that incredible Royals Rangers game Sunday? No, I missed it. Excuse me. What did I say? It’s not you, man. Is he okay? Marlena. No, he’s not.

Damn you all.

Talking to yourself? Never a good sign. I’m here because I love Eric and his little boy, but I can’t get out of this house soon enough. You’re free to leave anytime. E. J. It was so kind of you and Nicole to host the reception. Oh, this was all Nicole’s idea. I assume it’s my fault that Sammy isn’t here today?

No. Could be further from the truth. Sammy actually had a friend who’s recently lost her husband, so she felt she had to be with her. Oh, I see. And Belle? Belle is with Sean. Oh. Well, I wish them all the very best. No, you don’t. Demures don’t wish the very best to anybody but themselves. Just screw everybody else.

John. My grandson is locked up because of that stuff your brother is spreading out there on the street. Running a drug front for Clyde West and doesn’t get any more evil than that. And I

And you’ll what? John.

Stay away from my family, Junior. You’re real. Or I’ll You need to learn to finish your sentences, John. I think you know how he was going to finish that sentence.

No, Tate. Alex and I didn’t break up because of you. Why would you think that? Guys, you’ve had to take so much time dealing with my problems, worrying about me. You are my priority. You always will be. I’m done. Alex and I, we, we took a break because of a lot of reasons. Took a break? Does that mean that you’re going to get back together?

Why do you care? I don’t know. I guess because I don’t like seeing you alone, Mom.

Well, that’s really sweet. Um, I don’t know. Well, maybe Alex and I might get back together again. Hmm. Time will tell.

Finally made it. Oh, hi. Hi. I’m, I’m glad you did. And I think you’ll be happy to know that Kristen agreed to steer clear from today’s festivities. Oh, well, it’s always a pleasure not to see Kristen. It’s open to see Rachel, though. Brady, I’m sorry. I, I can’t. It’s Imagine being separated from my own child.

Yeah, it’s, it’s, it’s pretty bad. But it’s also pretty selfless of you to do this for Eric and Sloane, given that you just recently lost a child. I mean, everything you’ve been through, really? Brady, it’s not selfless, it’s selfish. You know, I guess I’m just trying to prove to everyone, including myself, that I can be truly happy for them.

And are you? Mostly. More or less. You know, I really thought everyone would be here by now, and, and, and, we’re in the world with Holly. You must be so disappointed in me. I’m not here to judge you. I promise I won’t tell anyone. But I insist that you tell your parents. No, I can’t. Tate even said I shouldn’t.

Do you really think Tate wants to stay in a halfway house because of what you think your parents are going to think of you? Eric, it’s not about me. It’s about my mom. She’s going to have such a hard time when she finds out I’m not her perfect little girl. She’s going to blame herself for everything. For the baby dying, my ODing, and After all she’s been through, this would kill her, Eric.

Holly, your mom is a lot stronger than you think. I don’t know. Well, I do. She is tough, and she is resilient. Trust me, I know.

You’re in agony, all because of this.

Tate is suffering because of your behavior. Yeah, I know.

Holly, you need to do this. Not just for Tate, but for yourself.

Eric, are you coming? Can’t have the guest of honor being late. You’re right. I’ll be right there.

Holly, I want you to think about what I said.

When’s this party getting started? Uh And where are the guests of honor? No idea. Ah, I have arrived. Well, this should liven things up. Bill. Huh? What was that all about, to start you, Paul? Back at the chapel? What do you mean, stunned? All I did was give a heartfelt speech about love and loss and the preciousness of life.

For which I got a round of applause, left many people feeling verklempt in case you didn’t notice. Yeah, well your speech didn’t exactly start out heartfelt. Alright, and why would you interrupt the christening? Just to tell people that you were here to cover the event. Prospector, why? Why would you cross examine a guest at said christening whose only intention was to lift people’s spirits?

Whose only agenda today is to celebrate your adorable grandson with whom I have a very special relationship. And why would I actually somewhat believe this guy for once?

All right. How are you doing? Well, I’m, I’m okay. But I’m, I’m not sure about Holly. I mean, at first she wasn’t going to come to the service at all. And then she changed her mind and said she was going to drive herself. And then when I told her EJ and I were leaving, she said she’d be along in a few minutes.

And now I, I don’t know where There she is. Oh, honey, honey, honey. Stop. Oh, my God. No, no, honey. I’m fine.

Hey, buddy. I saw you staring at the old man’s portrait. You know, back in the day, when I worked for Victor, I did that willingly. But I had no choice when Dr. Rolf implanted that chip in my brain. And for all intents and purposes, turned me into Stefano.

I could have killed you, John. I came real close. But you didn’t. You didn’t kill me because there was something inside of you that stopped you. No. It was sheer luck. You saved yourself.

Well, I just wish I could have done something to save that young woman.

Holly, what are you doing out here? Uh, you know, I just, um, needed some fresh air. It’s really stuffy in there. Yeah, it’s a little chilly outside. You’re not even wearing a coat. Why don’t you come inside?

You know, I was, I was actually hoping that Johnny and Chanel would be here. I, I’d ordered them a wedding gift and it finally arrived and I thought I would give it to them. I actually have it in my trunk. Oh, that’s very thoughtful of you, Marlena. As you may know, Johnny and Chanel have hardly left Paulina’s side, but they did manage to carve out some time and get to the Salem Inn to celebrate their wedding night.

Albeit a few weeks late. Okay. Thanks for letting me know. You’re welcome. I love it. Stefanoff’s. Gotta be turning in his grave. A house full of braids, celebrating a happy family occasion. Steve, would you tell me what’s going on with that guy? Sorry, dude. Not my story to tell. Sorry everyone. We had a diaper emergency, but, uh, you see all these people there for you, bud.

What do you think? Oh. Damn, where’s that plastic bag? You mind if I try? Yeah, we can play pass the pussy, baby. Yeah. There you go. Alright.

Wow, so many friendly faces, not one of them’s a fellow JD. Hey, you are not a juvenile delinquent, Tate. Oh, Uncle Eric looks so happy in this one. But, Nicole doesn’t, she looks really worried, doesn’t she? Yeah, actually, in that picture, she does. It’s weird, right? I mean, I think that she’d be happy now that Holly’s out of her coma and doing really well.

Still, I think it was really rough for her to go today, you know, considering she lost a baby a few months ago.

Someone’s had a big day. Yes. It was a great day. Oh yeah. Here you go, mama. Almost perfect.

Uh, if I could have everyone’s attention, please, just for a second. I would love to make a toast. To my beautiful, beautiful godson. And to my brother. And my sister in law. My brother Eric. He’s been waiting a long time to be a dad. And I have no doubt that he’s gonna be a hell of a good one. I learned from the best.

And Sloane, You’ll undoubtedly be a wonderful mother. So with that, Cheers, and God bless! Cheers!

Where the hell is Holly?

Serenity House, Salem. This is Olivia. How may I help you? Hello. May I please speak with Tate Black? This is his mother. Tate? You have a call? Hello? It’s your mother? What?

I’m his mother. I will take that call. Thank you. Who is this? Hello?

So what do you think, Doc? Can we get out of here yet? Oh. I’m sure Eric will understand. All right.

Hey, great party. Especially the food. Yeah, I agree. Are you leaving already? And by the way, where’s Kate? Uh, she’s helping pack up the leftovers. We’re gonna donate them to a food bank. Well, that’s very nice of you. Eric, darling, it’s been a wonderful party, but we have to go. Okay. It was a beautiful christening.

Thank you. Thank you all for being here. Hey, we love that little guy. And we love this big guy too. We’ll see you, Eric. Love you. Love you. Congratulations, man.

Well, this boy’s looking ready for a nap. I think the party’s over. Yeah, okay, um

Something wrong? Can I get a minute? I just need to talk to her before we leave. Again? Well, it’s important. Well, Jude’s about to start screaming his head off, so Well, I just can’t leave yet. Well, I can’t leave yet. As awesome as this party has been, despite the boring and snooty guests, so how about I give you and the baby a ride home, swan dear?

Sure. And we’ll drop Melinda off too. Oh, great. I’ll be happy to drop Melinda on her head at her house. Hey, Leo, would you, uh, mind grabbing the seat out of the car? Sure. Shall we?

Nicole

is trying to be nice but it would have been a hell of a lot easier if we could have just had the party here. Yeah, we wouldn’t have had to slap all this stuff over to that old mausoleum.

Oh good, you’re open. Don’t tell me you’re still hungry. Actually, I’m looking for a scotch. A little early, don’t you think? Don’t dare judge me, man. I have no special occasion. How about that? Does this have something to do with what’s going on with John? Could say that.

Well, you know, when I was a priest. I used to tell all my parishioners that no one was ever unworthy of God’s love and forgiveness.

But then again, I really wasn’t a priest.

Because everything that I believed about myself was a lie. As is everything that I knew. I believe about myself now. I know, I know, I know. I shouldn’t allow myself to suffer so much over this because Constantine is the one who truly suffered. But, but do you think you can come up with a way to help me get through this?

What is that? Asking too much? It’s not asking too much,

and of course he will help you with it. I will too, because we are in this together. He’s sound asleep.

Well, you did have a very big day. All that love and attention, which some people never get in an entire lifetime. All in one day. Oh, is that your excuse for being an obnoxious, unscrupulous creep? Actually, it is. What’s yours? You know what? Since you both seem to be in this let’s insult Leo mode, despite the fact that he already has very low self esteem, I will be on my way.

Leo, before you go, I need to say that what happened today can never, ever Don’t worry, I will never try and do the right thing again. We have made this pact official, Leo. No one will ever speak about how this is Nicole’s baby ever again. Hand to God. And look, if I couldn’t tell the truth in a church, what would possess me from trying to tell the truth somewhere else?

Oh wait, I know. If the money stops rolling in. How did I know you’d say that? The same way I know that the money will keep rolling in, otherwise our three lives go down the proverbial toilet. We are an unholy trinity, girls. The only three people in this town who know that that child sprang, or rather was pulled very lovingly and gently by me, From Nicole DiMera, and we are the only three who will ever know.

I’ve instructed the staff you are not to receive any more calls here. Great.

Who was that? I don’t know, Mom. You’re the one who talked to her. It was Holly, wasn’t it? Maybe. Has she done that before? Called you here? Once. Did you talk to her? I thought she was you. Oh my god, you should have hung up then. Right when you realized that it wasn’t me. I mean, do I have to remind you that there’s a restraining order here?

We just talked about this this morning. Do you want to go to jail? Tay, do you, do you want to ruin your whole future? What is wrong with that girl? Hasn’t she done enough to ruin your life? Mom. She better leave you the hell alone from now on.

Where’d everyone go? I just stepped out to take a work call. Didn’t you get them, my mom? Party’s over. It’s okay. I was, uh, on my way out anyway. I’m going to see Tate. Leave her alone. What do you mean, leave her alone? I was just stating a fact, EJ. Which you only stated to upset my stepdaughter. Okay, can we please not do this now?

Fine. Yeah. I’m outta here. Bye. Brady, wait. Don’t go yet. Why? I’m sorry, Mom. I’m so, so sorry. Sorry, honey, for what? The drugs.

The night that I OD’d. The drugs were mine.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, you clean up nice. Oh, sorry. A lot on my mind. You look lovely as per usual. And you seem awfully distracted right now. Um, I assume it’s about Stefan turning himself in? It is. It’s a lot to process. But you know what? Not today. I’m going to compartmentalize, as they say. And we should get going, actually.

I’ll get Holly. Oh, hey! Why aren’t you dressed? We’re gonna hit the road in like five minutes. I’m not going. Well, well! If it isn’t the godmother herself. And how are you this glorious morning? Doing well, Leo. And you? I’m fine. Exceptional to a fault, as always. Exceptionally overdressed for working at the paper, no?

Uh, Lady Whistleblower is always fashion forward, no matter the venue. Today, however, Lady W is playing hooky. Oh, well, if you excuse me. So, where is it? Where’s what? The christening gift for your godchild. Bad form for the godmother to forget something so important. But maybe, just maybe, yours truly may have the fix.

Did you pack more bottles? Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I also packed some extra onesies, because who knows, I don’t think it’s gonna be able to stay in that christening gown. Not long, I’m guessing. Yeah? Oh, I cannot believe you used to wear this. Well, you know, it’s family tradition, and uh, as you know, you just keep it going.

Yeah. I just can’t stop smiling. Uh, yeah. I can see that. I knew this was going to be the happiest day of our lives. And now that it’s here, it’s just kind of like, Wow. Hey, what are you thinking? Oh, God, it’s just, Having the party at the DiMera’s with Nicole hosting. I, I, I’m trying to stay positive, Eric, I really am.

But I, I don’t know how to feel about it. I’m still so, so uncomfortable. Sloane, we talked about this. I know, I know, I know we have. And I know, especially on a day like today, I should be more forgiving. But every time I look at Nicole, all I think about Is, is, you know, when she thought June was her baby and, and, and kidnapped him.

I mean, do you know how hard it is for me to not think about that?

You know, Godfather, it’s got a nice ring to it, huh? Have you given it a spin? The Godfather. A man who doesn’t spend time with his family can never be a real man. That’s not bad. Thank you. Yeah. Maybe I should bring some cannolis. That’s funny. I know. Are you gonna eat that breakfast? Cause I will. Hey, hey, hey.

I got a fork here. I’m not afraid to use a fork, okay? I know. Alright. Actually, you know what? I have to call Tate. Um, Okay.

Hi, can I speak to Tate Black, please? Yes, this is his mother, Teresa Donovan.

Hi baby, how are you? Good. Um, listen, so the plan is I am gonna come and visit you after Jude’s christening and then your dad, he’s, he’s gonna come see you after the party.

Yes, of course we’re gonna see Holly at the chapel. Oh, I hate seeing Tate like that. I mean, he seems so upbeat, and then when Holly’s name got brought up, he I know, and he’s upset about the restraining order. I mean, he’s gotta stay a hundred feet away from her, which I think is extreme, but it’s no surprise EJ’s driving this train now.

I don’t know. You know, if they were to stay a million miles apart from each other, I really wouldn’t mind. God, Brady, why can’t that girl just come clean and tell everybody that Tate did not give her the drugs? Tracy, you know why? Because she’s, she says she doesn’t remember what happened that night on New Year’s Eve.

Well, let’s just hope that Sloane Peterson comes up with something to force EJ to drop the charges. God, I don’t, I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think our boy is going to be in that halfway house until, you know, Till the trial. But you know what? You shouldn’t be worrying about her. You should be focusing on your schoolwork instead of thinking about the girl who got you into this mess.

Hey,

do you need some help with that? Please. Hey. At that time when we were on vacation. Yes, we did. We got that tie from an old man on the Via Della Spiga, who couldn’t stop telling me how beautiful you are. I couldn’t stop agreeing with him. Oh, I remember that. You know, we should plan a vacation. In fact, something has occurred to me.

I’ll give you a hint. Aloha. Hmm? I see what you’re doing, Don. But running away from what you’ve done isn’t going to change anything. Okay, fine. Then what is? Because you are agonizing over something that you What is something? That something was the murder of an innocent young woman. I took her life. And that is something I gotta live with for the rest of mine.

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

John, John, by your own admission, you have no memory of that time.

And, and there’s no clear cut evidence that you had anything to do with that girl’s death. Steve was there. At the scene of the crime. And he does remember seeing anyone else there but me. Stefano and Victor were also involved. So who knows what the truth is? And I’m not even, I’m not even sure that I trust Steve’s memory.

John, you were You’re, you’re punishing yourself. You’re beating yourself up. You’re questioning who you are. That isn’t okay. Look, you, you doing this is, is, is so painful and it’s even hurting me. I’m sorry, baby, because the last thing I want to do is ever hurt you. I know that. But it does hurt me because I know you.

I love you. I know who you are. You are a good and decent man. Look at me. You need to forgive yourself. I don’t know if I can do that.

Well. How’d it go? Tate is obviously still hung up on Holly in spite of it all. I think he heard me, or at least he pretended to hear me. Oh, don’t you two look spiffy. Well, as do you both. Are you ready for the big event? Ah, the christening, definitely. The reception at the Damaris. Not so much. Okay, but we have decided that we are going to keep an open mind.

We’re gonna try. We’re all gonna try. Who knows, maybe, maybe this is the dawn of a new era of peace and harmony. All thanks to that beautiful grandson of yours. Bless his heart. And what do they say? Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.

Tell me you are not being serious. Oh, when it comes to giving gifts, I am never not serious. Probably in defiance of the bad gift givers in my life, like my very stingy mother, who on my last birthday gave me a partially used soap on a rope. The birthday before that, a mood ring toilet seat. I mean about the christening.

You are not actually going. Why wouldn’t I? I’m an invited guest. And to state the ombudist, there would be no event to go to had you and I not made sure that that precious little boy, soon to be christened, didn’t end up in the loving arms of Eric and Sloan, and not in the arms of his real mother, Nicole Walker Demura, who’s hosting the party, and ain’t that ironic?

All caps. Fine. I get it. You and I are connected in that way, but that doesn’t mean that we can Partners in baby stealing. Yeah. Not very proud of that. In fact, if I had to do it over again Well, you don’t have it to do over again. So let’s not talk about it right now, okay? Or ever, for that matter. Today is about the future.

A future that requires you keeping your mouth shut. That is, if you want to continue living the lifestyle you’ve grown so accustomed to. The outside of prison lifestyle. Got it?

Look at you, all dressed up in daddy’s fancy christening gown.

Oh, I’m glad it fits him. Perfectly. You all packed up? Yeah, I, I think I checked the bag like six hundred times. You ready to go? I am. Eric, I am so sorry about being such a downer about Nicole hosting the christening party. It’s okay. You were just being honest. I was, but I’m gonna take the high road, okay? I mean, it’s very kind of Nicole and EJ to host the reception, and I’m sure it’ll be a beautiful celebration for our amazing baby boy.

I’m sure it will be.

Holly, honey, of course you’re going to the christening. We’re all going to the christening as a family. Holly, what’s really going on? Nothing. Just, I don’t have the energy and the thought of being around so many people just makes my head want to explode, so. This is about self care, okay? Wait, are you, are you warm?

No, I don’t have a fever. Should I call Sarah just in case? Mom, stop, that’s enough, okay? Look, I know you’re worried about me, but I’m fine, seriously. So, you guys go to the christening without me. I don’t want to hold you up just because I couldn’t pull it together. Well, if you’re not going, I’m not going.

Bloody hell, if you’re not going, neither am I. Oh, we could all stay home.

Hmm. Tacky, tacky, Melinda, bringing up my little arrangement with Sloan, which for the record is no more odious than your arrangement with her. Well, odious arrangements aside, I comfort myself in knowing that Jude is with amazing parents. They’re gonna raise him to be the best version of himself. I’m not so sure about that.

Yes, Eric has fatherhood down to his science, but mommy Sloane, there is not a maternal bone in that woman’s body. I disagree. I think that Sloan is taking to motherhood quite nicely. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I would like to check in on my godchild. Yeah, go for it. Come on.

Guess I’ll go check in on the big man.

Look, I just wanted to tell you that I think Eric made a very wise choice when he asked you to be, to be Jude’s godfather. Alright? I know you’ll take the role to heart, and I know you’ll give that little guy all the support he needs. I was honored to be asked. Well, I was glad you accepted. Eric did mention that you were, uh, reluctant.

Thank you. At first, I was, I haven’t been very confident in my parenting skills these days. Yeah, he mentioned that too. So Brady, listen to me. All right, as hard as it is and believe me, I’ve been there. All right. You can’t blame yourself for things that are not within your control. And all we can do is love our kids unconditionally and be there for them.

Yeah. Lots

of catch up on, don’t we? Yeah. Yeah, we do. Do you know what it was like for me to watch the Super Bowl alone this year? Picked you, dad, in a room full of chicken wings and pizza and a giant 4K television and no one to It was awful. Yeah, well, I had no one’s ass to kick in fantasy basketball this year, so Okay, stop it.

And um, Mom, thank you for opening up to me. Really, for having the courage to tell me the truth about you and dad. I’m so glad I did. Just seeing you both laughing together, it just, you have no idea how happy it makes me. That’s all we can do? Yeah. And speaking of being here, I spoke to Kim the other day.

She is very grateful for what you’ve done for Teresa. Well, I was just glad that I was able to be there. Especially since I’ve been there, Roman, so Theresa and I aren’t together anymore, but she’s always going to be family. Isn’t that right, dear? That’s why you’re also a great dad, too. Alright. And that’s why you’re going to be a world class godfather.

Serious. I’m very proud. The man you’ve become, Brady. I am very, very proud of that. This is crazy.

You guys can’t miss the christening. Well, I’m not going to leave you home alone. Nor am I. And it’s not like anyone’s going to miss us. Mom, that’s ridiculous. Eric would be so crushed if you two weren’t there. The same would be said about you. Honey, Is this because Teresa and Brady are going to be there and it’ll be uncomfortable because of the situation with Tate?

It’s all of it. Okay? It’s a whole vibe. Alright, well, I promise you, Teresa and Brady will be on their best behavior. And like EJ said, you will be missed. If you’re not there, Eric loves you. And he would be sad if EJ and I weren’t there. So we are not letting you stay home alone. Like I said. Okay, fine. I get that today is important.

And you and EJ 100 percent need to be there celebrating, too. Which means I have to go. Since you won’t leave me home alone. So let me get ready. I changed my mind. Yay, Holly, I’m so relieved. And you know what, I bet it’s gonna be a beautiful christening. And it might even cheer you up, brighten your day.

Yeah. Seriously doubt that. Bye. Uh, but you guys should go without me. I don’t want to make you late. I’ll meet you there. Okay, well make sure you’re not too late, okay? Okay, I’ll try.

Teenagers, huh? Oh, they sure earn their reputation. Yeah, yeah, we understand. Yeah, we will. Love

you too. Bye.

And Kayla. She won’t be able to make it. Unfortunately, the hospital is understaffed. Oh, no, that’s too bad.

Godmother has arrived. Melinda, please come in. Hope I’m not too early. No. Uh, before the day gets too crazy, I just wanted to make sure I gave this to you. Just a little something for Jude’s savings account. Melinda, you didn’t have to do that. Well, I know I didn’t have to. I wanted to. I know. And there he is.

Hello there, beautiful. What a sweet little angel you are. Hey, Melinda. Hmm? Um, there’s something I need to talk to you about. Oh. Yeah. It’s godmother stuff. Oh, okay. Um, at the start of service, godmother, you will have to carry Jew to the front of the chapel. Will that be okay with you? I would absolutely be honored.

Hello. Are you here for a confession? How much time do you have? No, nothing to confess. Though this seems like a wonderful place to do it if I was in the market. Well, you’re always welcome. That’s good to know. I’m actually here for a christening for Jude Brady. Ah, yes. Yes. I’ve known that little tyke, your blessing, his whole life.

Isn’t that wonderful? And everyone who’s here will in some way bear responsibility to the child throughout his life. Really? Everyone here? It takes a village, as they say, to not only encourage spiritual growth in our children, but to be examples of good, kind, honest people. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to finish setting up.

Well, I’m good and kind. Sort of. Sometimes. A little. Honest, not so much.

For one day, can you just put aside your guilt and try to focus on the joy of this new life that we’re celebrating? All right? Can you just do it for me?

I will do that for you.

Thank you.

Why are you trying to punish yourself for something you might not even have done? Because I’ve always been afraid that I was capable of a heinous act like this. In fact, I think a part of me always knew I had. I can’t do it anymore, Doc. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t wake up in the morning, I can’t eat my oatmeal and kiss my wife goodbye and go off to the office knowing who I am and what I’ve done.

John, I don’t think you’re thinking rationally right now. No. Okay. Put yourself in my shoes. Come on, Doc. How do you move forward without dealing with the past and taking responsibility for it? I know how you’re feeling. I did. Unconscionable things at a time when I wasn’t It wasn’t you! And this wasn’t you!

It’s not the same! Well, should we head to the chapel? I think it’s about that time. Uh, give me a second. Adlai, what’s up? What? Are you okay? Are you sure? Did you get checked out? Okay, now don’t worry about that. We got that covered. Okay, don’t worry. Go home. Take care of yourself. Call me if you need anything All right Take care One of my employees he was taking the food over to the mirrors and There was car wreck fortunately, nobody got hurt but Car is, uh, undrivable.

That’s not a problem. I can take the food. I can have the dimericum. Not your problem, Katie. That’s nonsense. You’re the godfather. You’re the grandfather. You can’t be late. I’ve got this. Go. Both of you. Now. I’ve got it. Hi. It’s pretty straightforward. The priest is gonna ask you a few questions. Simple stuff.

And you know what? You’re gonna crush it. Sounds great. Um, are we ready to roll? Uh, I gotta call Sammy back. She left me a message from earlier. Great. Tell her hi from me. Tell her I wish she could be here with us. I will. Okay.

Oh my god, how am I gonna get through this? You will get through it because you have to. And because you have everything you’ve ever wanted, remember? And by the way, what’s with Leo? Was he officially invited? Couldn’t be avoided. Same thing with allowing Nicole to host the after party. But Sloane, this is your baby and your event.

Look, I understand that, that Nicole has no idea when it comes to Jude, but her and Leo in the same space for any length of time is just so risky. I know. I know. It’s a good thing I ran into him today. Leo? Yeah, I reminded him that he should keep his mouth shut if he knows what’s good for him. Well, damn well better.

Something about this place always seems to calm me down. Yeah, me too.

Is that?

That’s Leo Stark. I hope he’s not here to write some gossip. Most likely. Hello. Stunning Dr. Evans. Handsome John Black. How are you both doing today? Well, we’re just fine. And yourself? Oh, I’m feeling reflective. Spiritual. Peaceful. And also a bit God fearing, which is interfering with the other feelings. I could understand how that would happen.

But I must say, I am blown away by Eric and Sloane and their generosity inviting me to this blessed event. I’ve never been much of a churchgoer, except for when I was young and my mother forced me to go by threatening to remove my kneecaps with an ice cream scoop. Leo. But, I am certain that today is going to be enlightening, uplifting for all of us.

That Leo Stark is quite a character, isn’t he? One way to think of him. Yeah. You’re concerned about having a reporter here, though. You know, he babysat for Jude at one point. And Sloane and Eric both said he was just great. Oh! Hey! Oh, hey! And Godfather. Theresa. Hey, hey. Hi there. There he is. Are you ready for this?

Yeah, big day. And where’s Kate? Well, we had a delivery snafu at the pub, and uh, Kate kindly offered to take care of that. In fact, I gotta give her a call check in with her, so if you’ll excuse me. Right, yes, yes. Doc and I, we have made plans to go see Tate. Oh, you will appreciate that. How are the two of you holding up?

How are we holding up? We’re doing okay. We’re hitting a lot of meetings and we’re putting sobriety first. Well, we’re really just trying to stay present for Tate. Oh, that’s good to hear. Actually, speaking of visiting Tate, I’m going to go see him right after the christening. Oh, what about the demerit house gathering?

Uh, I send my regrets. I think it’s best to just steer clear of E Gen.

Don’t think that’s gonna be too easy to do. You’re looking

Lovely, Nicole. Thank you, Roman. Um, where are Eric and Sloan? I don’t know. I haven’t seen them. I’m sure they’ll be here any minute.

No interest in going to that house afterwards for the big party. Honestly, just thinking about it makes the hairs on the back of my neck just stand up. You know what? You’re a better person than I am, Brady. I’m just doing it for Eric and Jude. I’m gonna suck it up and do what’s right.

Hey,

I just want to say thank you to everyone for being here on this special day. Jude, he’s really lucky to have everyone in his life. We’re all lucky. Here, here. That was very eloquent, Eric. Mercifully brief, light on the schmaltz, always preferable in my book. Thank you, Leo. And I promise that whatever happens here today will be off the record.

That precious little angel, he looks exquisite in his christening outfit. That was the same one that Eric wore when he was christened. I bet he wore it well. Um, final diaper check before the big event. How

are you doing? Well, initially I was doing okay, but I don’t know, being here in the house of the Lord and seeing a little baby, I’m having a hard time. I will be with you every step of the way. Catch you. I’m gonna go see the phone. Your father, Annie Sloan, she’s getting Jude ready for his christening. And I’m pretty sure no one else is here.

We can just wait a minute. There she is. Hi. Hi. Oh, I’m so happy you could make it. Wouldn’t have missed it. If everyone can start to take their places. Hey. Hi, Holly. How’s Tate? Oh, he’s doing really well. You know, minus the ankle monitor and the restraining order. Yeah, thanks for that, by the way. Much appreciated.

What? I’m not allowed to talk to her?

Welcome friends and family. What a glorious day to be together to celebrate this beautiful life before us. A joyous moment and a testament to the blessed gift from God to you both.

Eric and Sloan, is it your will that Jude should be baptized in the faith of the church which we have all professed with you? It is. I baptize you in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit. God, the father, our Lord Jesus Christ has freed you from sin, given you a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and he welcomes you into his holy people.

He now anoints you with the chrism of salvation as Christ was anointed priest prophet and King. So may you live always as a member of his body sharing of a lasting life. Amen. Amen. Ah! It’s a good thing Detective Hunter’s cars are rolling forward. Oh, God. Oh, God. Just breathe. Just breathe. That’s what they say in the movies, right?

Deep breath in. Deep breath out. Oh, if you say deep one more time, I’m going to pull your vocal cords out. Careful. I think she means it. Ah! Ah! Where’s the baby’s father? EJ needs to be here. He’s going to be a no show, unfortunately. Oh god, it’s close. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s very close. Not that much is obvious.

And panic attack and goose bump inducing. Oh, someone needs to catch this baby. Please. Hey, I am holding her hand and hyperventilating. You’re not doing anything. Me? You’re the one who insisted on being here in the first place. Guys! Okay, okay, okay. Oh my god, oh my god. An actual human being is about to emerge from there.

I need I’m not gonna I’m not going to faint. I’m going to be calm. I’m going to be cool. No! Please, I need to push! I’m going to pretend that I am Dr. Leo Stark, who has delivered millions of babies so brilliantly that when they pop out, they don’t even cry. They just smile and wave. Now, come on! Pepper him right in here!

The baby is coming! Okay, Nicole, look at me, look at me, look at me. You got this. We have got this. I need you to take one last deep breath. Okay. And then push a little tissue. It’s a

boy. He’s so adorable. That teeny little nose. All those little fingers. He’s my precious baby. It’s a little miracle. Jude, you have become

a new creation and have clothed yourself in Christ. See this white garment as the outward sign of your Christian dignity unstained into everlasting life of heaven. Amen. Sorry. So sorry, and sorry to you as well. Oh Lord. Oh Lord. I have something to say. Something very important. Something that can’t wait.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Tucker: Hey, jack. You got a minute?

Jack: For you, no.

Tucker: Ah, wait. It’s important. Please.

Jack: You know, I’ve been coming to this club my whole life. I love this place. What I don’t like is the increasing likelihood I’m gonna run into you. Why are you still here?

Tucker: Well, I live here.

Jack: I meant in genoa city. Isn’t glissade your new life’s work in paris?

Tucker: You know, there’s this really neat new invention. Um… what’s it called? The internet. And, uh, you can be in one place and do work in another. Unbelievable. You should check it out.

Jack: Maybe you could use it to get yourself a one-way ticket to france. There is nothing like face-to-face time with your employees, especially when you had to hire a whole new staff and board. Or are you staying away so they don’t get to know the real tucker mccall?

Tucker: Has it ever occurred to you I might move glissade here?

Claire: I’m not so sure my side of the story is gonna improve your view of me. The facts are kind of hard to ignore.

Kyle: Who says my view of you needs to be improved?

Claire: When I met you and summer and harrison, we seemed to hit it off.

Kyle: Hm. You charmed my son. That always makes a good impression.

Claire: Hm. But now you know there’s more to me than just marshmallows and bad kid jokes.

Kyle: Yeah, and I’d like to hear about it. About you.

Claire: How did a nice girl like me end up trying to poison her long-lost family?

Kyle: There’s gotta be a story there.

Claire: There is. Okay, fine. But you asked for it. It started from birth. Up until a few months ago, my whole life, who I was, where I came from, it was all controlled by my deranged aunt.

Victor: I don’t want to hear any more excuses! You find that woman!

Nick: Do not tell me.

Victor: Jordan escaped from the hospital.

Nick: How in the hell does this keep happening? I am sick of the incompetence. You had a police detail stationed outside her room with your security detail backing them up.

Victor: She burned down a damn prison. What are they not getting?

Nick: I mean, your plan worked, dad. You had her trapped in the basement.

Victor: Where she could rot. I should never have let your mother, victoria, and claire, go to see her.

Nikki: Please stop. I feel terrible enough as it is.

Nick: You heard?

Nikki: Yeah. Jordan is free to hunt us again and it’s all my fault. Nothing comes close to this place in the morning.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nick: Don’t blame yourself, mom. Nothing could’ve prepared any of us for jordan escaping again.

Nikki: Your father disagrees. I know you were very angry with me for calling 911, for letting her live, and you’re right.

Victor: How’d you find this out before I did?

Nikki: Your security team called me at the ranch.

Victor: I should’ve been their first call.

Nikki: Well, they tried you and they couldn’t reach you, but I’m glad that they alerted me so I could be prepared.

Victor: With all the security at the ranch, you came here?

Nikki: I– I– I was a nervous wreck. Every little sound made me jump out of my skin. I– I had to get out of there and be with people.

Victor: Was larry with you?

Nikki: No.

Victor: And yet you came here. Did you stop anywhere?

Nikki: Do you mean did I stop for a drink?

Nick: No, I’m sure that is not what he meant. All right, no one is accusing you of anything, mom.

Nikki: Well, maybe you should. Because with jordan out there again, I hate to say it, but I am desperate for a drink.

Kyle: Growing up with someone like that, did you always know your aunt was troubled?

Claire: Troubled is putting it mildly, but no, I didn’T. It’s kind of hard to explain. She raised me from birth because she kidnapped me, but I didn’t know that. I only knew her as the person who fed me and clothed me, kept me safe, so I trusted her completely.

Kyle: And you never suspected a thing.

Claire: Why would I? I was a kid. She told me my parents didn’t want me, that the newmans were happy to pretend I never existed. I believed her. She claimed to love me. It never occurred to me that someone could tell you that they love you and then… willingly break your heart.

Kyle: I mean, being led to believe something like that. To let a child go through that much pain, I mean, it’s hard to understand.

Claire: There’s no explaining it, other than as the act of a vicious, vindictive person. She hated victor, she hated nikki, she hated the whole family by default, and she made sure that I did, too. It was my sole purpose in life. To get payback.

Kyle: For something that never happened.

Claire: She made me her teammate, pulled me into her lies, made me an accomplice to her crimes. I almost killed my entire family.

Kyle: But you didn’T.

Claire: I still hate myself anyway. For the trauma that I put them through. Especially nikki.

Kyle: It sounds like they know you’re not to blame for your actions. Your aunt is.

Claire: How incredible are they? To find it in their hearts not only to forgive me, but to welcome me. I owe it to them to live up to that. Work hard in therapy. Because of them, I have a second chance. I get to build a real life for myself.

Kyle: You’re right. That is quite a story.

Claire: Too far-fetched for you to believe? I bet you still think I’m a crazy criminal.

Victoria: Sorry, so sorry that took so long. It was the kid’s school, some snafu with payment. It’s all good now.

Kyle: Yeah, no problem. Gave me a chance to get to know claire a little better.

Victoria: Oh, that’s wonderful.

Claire: Is it?

Jack: I assume the part about you moving your company here was your idea of a joke.

Tucker: What, this town not big enough for the two of us?

Jack: Glissade is no competition for jabot.

Tucker: I love a challenge.

Jack: You know what, on second thought, go ahead, throw more of your money away. I would love a ringside seat to watch your further self-destruction. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna–

Tucker: No, wait a minute, hold on. This is not what I wanted to talk to you about.

Jack: What then?

Tucker: Ashley. I saw her earlier.

Jack: I told you to stay away from my sister, and I meant it.

Tucker: She sought me out.

Jack: Don’t see her human kindness as a sign of hope for the two of you.

Tucker: Yeah. That’s the thing. Because recently, I don’t see a lot of sincerity in her behavior.

Jack: She was kind enough and humble enough to admit that she misread the tenor of your–

Tucker: Kindness is not the motivating factor here, jack.

Jack: So what, you think she still has a thing for you? Think again. What happened in paris was still a fight, and it caused the end of your sham of a marriage. There will be no third act for the two of you.

Tucker: I couldn’t agree more. We are finished. But I’m really worried about her.

Jack: Take her out of your thoughts.

Tucker: She’s falling apart, jack.

Marshalls buyers hustle

for the latest trends,

Jack: How dare you pass judgment on ashley’s emotional state?

Tucker: She’s not herself.

Jack: Why, because she wants nothing to do with you?

Tucker: If it were that, I’d get it. But it all started with her misremembering the events in paris.

Jack: Which she has successfully put behind her.

Tucker: Maybe. But lately… I don’t know what to make of her. There’s something in her, um… there’s something behind her eyes. Unfamiliar to me. Something I don’t recognize. She– she’s one way, and then suddenly, she’ll be another. She’ll– she’ll text me one second that she wants nothing to do with me, and then an hour later, she’ll tell me she wants us to get back together again. And that’s got me worried. Doesn’t that worry you?

Jack: It would if I thought it was true.

Tucker: Oh, my god. How could you not have noticed this? Are you really that oblivious to what’s going on with your sister? Who— who you–

Jack: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now you’re gonna play your mind games on me?

Tucker: I’m not playing games here. Ashley needs help, now. And I told her as much–

Jack: You don’t get to tell her anything. You lost that right. Ashley got clarity in paris. No, maybe she didn’t remember things exactly as they happened, but the emotional truth of it was there. She wants nothing to do with you. She is done. She made that abundantly clear to me just this morning.

Tucker: Is that right? Just curious, was that before or after she told me she wants us to partner again?

Jack: At glissade.

Tucker: No.

Jack: Is your ego really so big–

Tucker: Jack, listen to me! She said she wants us to partner again in all things. All things. Now what do you make of that?

Jack: Honestly, I have been concerned that her big heart would lead her to forgive you. She’d be sucked right back in, but she’s made it abundantly clear that is never gonna happen. That she is a strong, independent woman who does not need her big brother meddling.

Tucker: And I’m telling you, in this case, I think she does.

Jack: You’ll say anything to get a rise. This is–

Tucker: She needs help, jack. And I hope you can step in because I can’T.

Jack: Good.

[ Phone chiming ] You leave ashley to us. Stop thinking about her. Stop talking about her. Stay away from her.

Victoria: No, it’s just nice to see you having a, you know, a normal conversation with somebody closer to your own age. She’s been spending a lot of time with her parents and her grandparents, so it’s nice that you’re widening your circle, maybe making some friends outside of the family. Maybe you can help with that.

Cole: Victoria, glad I found you. Listen, have you talked to your father?

Victoria: No. No, why?

Cole: Well, he’s been trying to reach you, and so have I.

Victoria: Oh, I’m sorry. I was on a call, and your message went to voicemail.

Cole: Can I talk with you and claire in private?

Claire: Well, if whatever you have to say is about jordan, you can speak freely. I told kyle the whole ugly truth, just so you know.

Kyle: Um, this sounds like a family matter, and I should– I should probably get back to harrison anyway.

Claire: There it is. That’s the reaction I was waiting for. Better run.

Kyle: I’m impressed. Not many people could bounce back after what you’ve been through. And for the record, I’m not running. I’m just giving you all some privacy.

Claire: Thank you.

Cole: Thanks, kyle.

Victoria: What? What happened? What’s going on?

Claire: Jordan escaped again, didn’t she?

Victor: All the hell that woman has put us through, I hate the most that she inflicted on you the desire to drink again. Any way we can help?

Nick: Let’s do something to distract you, mom. You want to go grab a coffee or something?

Nikki: Thank you both, but the last thing I want is to add to your worry. I shouldn’t have said anything.

Nick: You lying about the urge to drink isn’t gonna help you.

Victor: We know what that leads to.

Nikki: The best thing you can do is to make sure that jordan is caught as soon as possible, and until then, I will– I will just find ways to cope.

Nick: You have any idea how you’re gonna do that?

Nikki: Well, I saw jack earlier, and that was helpful, but that was before this news. I’ve texted him to see if he can meet me at an aa meeting, ’cause I’m going to one now. I’m going straight there.

Nick: Well, dad has put out the order to the security team and gcpd to find jordan, and they will.

Victor: If that woman has any sense left at all, she’ll stay as far away from our family and genoa city as possible.

Nick: If she’s stupid enough to come after this family again, this time we’re gonna have to do something to stop her for good.

Victor: I’m texting larry right now. He will escort you, okay?

Nikki: I just can’t stop thinking that if it weren’t for me, jordan would have died in that room.

Nick: Mom, don’t do that. You can’t feel guilty about being better than jordan. You have a moral center. You couldn’t just sit there and watch her die. You have what she doesn’T. Humanity.

Nikki: I wish I believed that.

Nick: Jordan’s taken enough from this family. She’s not gonna take that away too. No matter what. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

[ Knock on door ]

Nick: Come in.

Sally: Hey.

Nick: Hey. Um, if you’re looking for adam, he’s not here.

Sally: Uh, no, I was actually looking for you and victor.

Nick: Right. Um, if this is about, uh, you know, adam’s plan to get newman to take on your design firm, sally, it’s not a great time to try and get my dad’s attention.

Sally: No, I’m aware that your family has a lot going on. And I’m glad that victor’s doing okay, ’cause I know he was missing for a bit.

Nick: We’re dealing with it. If it’s not about the company, what’s up?

Sally: I– so, adam is flying out tonight with chelsea and connor and he’s scrambling to get things lined up beforehand. I’m not sure how up-to-speed you are on connor’s situation.

Nick: Uh, yeah, adam, uh, filled me in on the ocd. Um, I haven’t talked to him in a couple days, but I heard there was a new development.

Sally: Adam and chelsea agreed to send connor to a treatment facility on the east coast. They had to move quickly to secure a spot.

Nick: Residential. It’s a big decision.

Sally: It’s tearing adam apart.

Nick: I bet.

Sally: And connor’s not thrilled about the idea, either.

Nick: Poor kid.

Sally: Well, adam’s sole focus is connor, so I told him that I would let you and victor know, just, you know, one last thing on his plate.

Nick: Adam’s lucky to have you. Your support.

Sally: Well, I’m also here on my own mission to please ask you both to support adam. He’s really struggling with this.

Nick: Uh, yeah, it’s, uh, not a problem. I really feel for what adam’s going through. I told him I was here if he needed anything. I’ll reach out and remind him. I think he and chelsea should take the newman jet. I’ll talk to my dad and make sure it’s cool.

Sally: Thank you. Are you two really getting along better? I know adam said things were going well at the office, but I just have to imagine that there’s still some tension.

Nick: Because of you.

Sally: Well, I mean, I don’t think I get all the credit. There is a long history there.

Nick: He’s not lying. We’re, uh, we’re good.

Sally: I’m glad. It’s nice to see. Well, I should probably go find victor.

Nick: There is, uh, something I disagree with adam on, and, um, I could use your help.

Sally: What’s that?

Nick: I don’t think my dad should hear about connor from you. You know, what connor’s going through is extremely serious, and that’s my dad’s grandson. If he hears about it third-hand…

Sally: Yeah, no, I– I get it. Okay, so what do you suggest I do? Because I promised adam I would take this off his plate.

Nick: Just trust me. Don’t say anything. Let me handle it.

Nikki: So, after the nightmare that you’ve all heard about, the woman responsible was finally arrested. Getting justice has been all I’ve been able to think about. It has consumed my every thought. This woman burned down my daughter’s house. She stole an innocent child. She has infiltrated every part of my life. Even here. Our dear seth. So, when she was finally found, I was so relieved. I– I felt like I could breathe again, you know? And that she would finally have to pay for her despicable crimes. But then… I got a call that it’s not over. That psychopath has escaped from the hospital she was sent to, and she’s out there somewhere. God knows where. So now, my hope that life can go back to normal is gone. And I’m hanging by a thread yet again. Do I want a drink? Oh, yes. Hell, I want the whole bottle. I wanna drink myself into oblivion so that I don’t have to feel this– this primal rage. Yeah, that’s not strong enough of a term. It– it’s like, I’m at the top of a tree and I’m looking at a tsunami that is coming straight for me, and I know that it’s gonna take me out, and all that I have is this tiny little branch to cling to. And that is you. This program, being honest with all of you here, is my only hope of not stopping at a liquor store on the way home. I just don’t understand why she is still allowed to wreak such havoc. I mean, why can nobody stop her? It’s not fair. I mean, she is my worst nightmare that I cannot wake up from, and it’s all my– never mind. Everybody– everybody in my life keeps praising me for my strength, my moral fiber, and it’s just not true. I hate that woman with everything in me, and I prayed that she would rot in jail and spend the rest of her life suffering for what she’s done. But I prayed for the wrong thing. I wish she was dead. Looking for a smarter way to mop?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue…

Nikki: Thank you for escorting me back, although it wasn’t really necessary. Victor put larry back on my security details, so…

Jack: I’m not here for your safety. I think you know that. You’ve been awfully quiet. I thought maybe you’d want to talk some more once we got here.

Nikki: What more is there to say after that meeting?

Jack: I don’t know. You tell me. It seems that was just the tip of the iceberg.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: It’s just all too much.

Jack: Well, I know it feels that way. You can do this. You are doing this. And look, I am sorry that my cheerleading of your moral superiority put undue pressure on you. I never intended that.

Nikki: Oh, jack, no. It– it’s not just you. Nicholas says the same thing. It just feels like such a lie when the only reason I called 9-1-1 was to prolong jordan’s suffering. There was no moral code at work. And rage is one thing, but the guilt is quite another.

Jack: Sometimes, sharing brings out unexpected feelings. But they’re out there, and it’s so much better than letting them fester, even if it doesn’t feel better in the moment.

Victor: Well, you’re back.

Nikki: Hi.

Victor: I guess you made it to the meeting.

Jack: Yes, I did.

Victor: Thank you for that. I’ll take it from here, jack.

Jack: If you want to talk any further.

Nikki: Thank you for being here for me.

Victor: She looks worse than she did before.

Jack: The meeting took a lot out of her, but I– I think it did her good.

Victor: Certainly doesn’t seem like that.

Jack: Progress doesn’t happen quickly, victor.

Victor: Be honest with me. Are these meetings too hard for you?

Nikki: Uh…

Victor: Hm?

Nikki: No, I– I do feel better.

Victor: Well, darling, I know you. I know you’re trying to cover up. All this has shaken you up. You don’t have to do that for my benefit.

Nikki: I’m just so scared. I mean, fighting the urge to drink, it’s so much harder than I thought. It is a war, a constant war, and I worry that it’s gonna get worse.

[ Victor sighs ]

Victor: I promise you, we’ll get over it. We’ll fight this. Meanwhile, I have a plan. It’ll work on two fronts.

Victoria: Does my mother know about this?

Cole: Uh, I’m not sure. Victor reached out to me when he couldn’t find you, and I told him I would track you down, let you both know. So, I just assume that nikki’s been informed.

Victoria: We can’t be sure about that. My father didn’t tell her about the fire at the prison because he knew it would upset her too much, and this is much worse than that. This is gonna rock her to the core.

Cole: Well, that’s true, and he’s also gonna have to protect her and not have her out there thinking that she’s safe.

Claire: I can’t believe this is happening again.

Victoria: Did we make a huge mistake confronting jordan? Did we cause this?

Nick: Hey. I’ve been looking for you. Did you get any of my texts?

Adam: I’m sorry, man. I’m– I’m under the gun. Chelsea and connor are upstairs, and I’m still trying to get us on a flight.

Nick: Yeah, sally told me what’s going on. Um, it sounds like the clinic you found is promising, and the fact that you got a spot there is great.

Adam: Yeah, well, none of it feels great.

Nick: Adam, take the jet. I’ve already set it up. The crew’s ready. You can leave whenever you want.

Adam: Oh, thank you, okay? That is helpful. That is very helpful.

Nick: I wish there was something else I could do. You hanging in there?

Adam: You know, all of this, it just happened so fast. Other than that, I’m just pushing through.

Nick: Yeah, no parent should ever have to face a diagnosis like this, and no kid should ever have to live through it. How’s connor doing?

Adam: He’s terrified. He’s mad at us. But he agreed to give it a shot.

Nick: Is there anything else you or chelsea need?

Adam: No, I think now that we have a way to get there, we’ve got everything else covered. You know, chelsea handled all the arrangements with the facility. She insisted on it. I think she just wants to keep herself busy so she doesn’t fall apart.

Nick: Yeah, that’s understandable.

Adam: Yeah. Well, it’s been rough on both of us, feeling like we missed something, wondering how we came to this point. But I worry that she’s being even harder on herself.

Nick: Given her own struggles.

Adam: Yeah. To be honest, I worry that she could spin out.

New herbal essences

sulfate free.

Nick: Adam, don’t go there. Chelsea’s gonna need all your support without the added pressure of you worrying about her frame of mind. All right? How about billy?

Adam: What about him?

Nick: Well, I’m sure he’s stepping up for chelsea.

Adam: Yeah, he’s always in the background giving his two cents to her and to connor.

Nick: Adam, you’re the father. There’s no competition there. If billy is willing to offer his support to chelsea and connor, then you take it. If your kid’s in trouble and needs help, it’s all hands on deck.

Adam: I know, I know, I know. You’re right.

Nick: Good. I hope you know I’m in your corner, too. All right? For whatever you need, you just have to ask.

Adam: Well, I’m glad that you caught me. I didn’t realize I could use the pep talk.

Nick: Something else I want to talk to you about. Sally told me that you asked her to fill dad in on all of this. I told her not to.

Adam: Don’t you think he would want to know?

Nick: Of course, he’s gonna want to know. But it shouldn’t come from sally. It shouldn’t even come from me. You need to talk to him, adam. And you need to do it before you leave.

Kyle: Hey, dad, glad you’re home. I don’t know if mom said anything to you about it, but she and I had a difference of opinion on how I handled some tweaks to our proposal.

Jack: You can stop right there. I know all about this. Your mother and I discussed it, along with the fact that she doesn’t consider your changes tweaks.

Kyle: Did you read the first draft?

Jack: I did.

Kyle: And do you really think I overstepped?

Jack: I’m not gonna get in the middle of this. I told your mother as much. You two are gonna have to work this out.

Kyle: That’s fair. We don’t need you running interference on some edits to a presentation. But, dad, I really think there’s a bigger issue at play here. Do you know why mom had such a problem with it?

Jack: Do you?

Kyle: She thinks I resent her getting the co-ceo position, and she’s looking for any evidence to prove that.

Jack: And is there any truth to her suspicions?

Kyle: Yes.

Nikki: All right, I’m listening. What’s your plan?

Victor: Have you forgotten about our special day coming up?

Nikki: What, the anniversary of our first wedding?

Victor: Yes.

Nikki: Of course not. Even with everything that’s been going on, I– I haven’t forgotten. I– I never would.

Victor: Okay.

Nikki: But given the circumstances, I think we should have a quiet celebration.

Victor: No, no, no, no. I want a big party. I want to celebrate our love. But before we have the party, I have another idea. Let’s you and I go on a trip. Just the two of us.

Nikki: Well, that sounds lovely, but…

Victor: No buts. I want you to get away from the jordan woman and get out of genoa city. Away from all the triggers that will lead you to the bottle.

Nikki: You said it would help on two fronts. What’s the other one?

Victor: Well, think about it. I mean, if you and I are gone, then jordan has no targets. She’ll get out of town.

Nikki: You don’t know how much I want to believe that.

Victor: Then do, baby, do.

Nikki: All right, yes.

Victor: Come here.

Nikki: Yes, victor, please.

Victor: Come here.

Nikki: Take me away from all this.

Victor: Anywhere your heart desires, okay? Sometimes, the lows of bipolar depression

Adam: Look, I don’t have time to talk to dad right now.

Nick: Make time. The jet’s ready for you. You don’t have to worry about that. Dad’s gonna be very upset when he finds out what you’ve been going through without looping him in.

Adam: Okay, well, it’s only because he has enough on his plate right now with nikki and claire, not to mention jordan.

Nick: This is dad we’re talking about. Family is always his number one priority.

Adam: Yeah, I guess.

Nick: You’re his son. Connor’s his grandson. He loves you both very much. All right, he wants to be a part of everything, whether it’s good or bad. Just talk to him. At least just to fill him in on what the game plan is.

Adam: You’re right. Okay, I guess I just haven’t had a chance to think straight.

Nick: That’s what I’m here for.

Adam: Look, nick. Thank you, okay? It means a lot. You showing up for me.

Nick: Safe travels. Good luck.

[ Adam sighs ]

Kyle: It does annoy me to see mistakes mom’s making, even small ones. I mean, the presentation I fixed, it was clearly rushed.

Jack: Last I checked, proofreading wasn’t one of the job duties under coo.

Kyle: Okay, I guess I am looking for signs, too, that she’s not up to the job, and maybe I am too quick to point out her mistakes.

Jack: Well, I’m impressed that you recognize that and admit it.

Kyle: Hm. I’m working on the whole maturity thing.

Jack: So, do you think you and your mother can find some way to break this unhelpful cycle?

Kyle: You’re right. This is my issue to work through. I’m sure I’ll figure it out.

Victoria: Mom, how are you?

Nikki: I take it you’ve heard the news?

Victoria: Yeah, I don’t believe it.

Claire: We should have known.

Cole: Well, the question is, how do we deal with jordan being on the loose?

Victor: Well, I know that the gcpd is doing everything they can to locate jordan and put that woman back behind bars.

Nikki: In the meantime, your father and I have decided to take a trip to get away and to celebrate our anniversary.

Victor: And a big party. Celebrating the special milestone.

Victoria: Well, of course, you deserve to celebrate, but do you think that’s wise right now?

Victor: Sweetheart, I’m gonna make sure that security is really beefed up around here.

Victoria: But how much security? Jordan could shift her focus to claire while you’re gone.

Claire: Doesn’t matter if it does. We’ll handle it. My grandparents deserve a vacation more than anyone.

Victoria: Okay, I agree. I do. But I’m concerned about your safety.

Claire: Don’T. Jordan can’t get to me anymore. Because I no longer fear her.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Cole: You know how you’re always asking questions about your mother and me and the life you missed? Instead of telling you stories, we could show you.

Claire: Show me what?

Victoria: Where it all began for us.

Nikki: What’s this?

Waiter: Courtesy of a gentleman from the bar, mrs. Newman.

Nikki: There’s no one there.

Waiter: He must have just left.

Nikki: What’s in this drink?

Waiter: Triple premium distilled vodka.

Nikki: Take it away. Please, take it away.

Traci: You all right? Where’ve you been?

Ashley: I don’t know. I came here to find love.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: How’s the hot chocolate?

Connor: Good. Great. They do it the best here. It was pretty bad at school.

Chelsea: Connor, your dad and I have done a lot of research on the treatment center that dr. Alcott recommends. We know you want to stay home. But the center will be able to help you more than your dad or I or even the doctors here can. So we’ve decided that it’s best if you stay there for a little while, short term.

Adam: Listen, buddy, the place that we like the best is not a hospital for crazy people, so don’t think that. It’s– it’s for people that are up against the same thing as you, and they’re learning how to deal with it.

Chelsea: We would never send you any place that’s unsafe.

Adam: Mm-mm.

Chelsea: But these are adults that know what they’re doing, and they’re experts at ocd, and they’re gonna be able to help you.

Adam: Mm-hmm. It’s in maryland.

Chelsea: Yeah, it’s beautiful there, and it’s a lot warmer there than it is here right now, so you’ll get to spend a lot of time outside.

Adam: Yeah, and I’m betting you can get some soccer games going.

Chelsea: I think you’ll be surprised about how much it helps you.

Connor: Doesn’t matter, because I’m not going.

Kyle: Mom, you’re home early.

Diane: Yeah, I knew I’d find you here with a little workstation in the living room.

Kyle: Yeah, until we find a new nanny for harrison. I’m picking him up from school.

Diane: So where is my favorite boy right now?

Kyle: Grabbing a snack with mrs. Martinez. Gave me a chance to get a few things done.

Diane: Well, harrison’s lucky that he has such a caring father.

Kyle: Well, I’m the lucky one. That kid is something else. On the way back from school, he looked at me and asked if I could pick him up every day.

[ Diane chuckles ] And then when I explained to him that I was just filling in until we found a new nanny, he asked, and I quote, “why can’t you be my nanny?”

[ Diane laughs ]

Diane: And what did you say?

Kyle: Well, I said I wish I could, that I would love to be there for him every day when he got out of school. Then I explained to him that I have a full-time job, but all my other hours are for him. I think he gets it, but I also think it’s about him missing linda and not wanting a new nanny. Transitions are tough for kids, and that kid’s had his fill.

Diane: Yeah, he sure has.

Kyle: But we’ve got it covered. Me and the rest of harrison’s crew. And I’ve gotten pretty good at juggling my work schedule and taking care of my son, if I do say so myself.

Diane: Well, congratulations. Very impressive. And equally impressive that on top of all that, you found time to show up your mother at work. By doing her job, too.

Victoria: This is novel. A stress-free day with no surprises in store. Feels like it’s been forever.

Claire: I think maybe it has been forever for me. Being free of jordan, not being worried about her next plan or when she might pop in again and try to ruin our lives. My whole life I’ve been on edge because of her.

Victoria: You don’t have to worry about that anymore. We’re free to go out and do things without looking over our shoulder constantly. In fact, I think that’s exactly what we should do. We should do something incredibly normal. Like, go for a long walk or a drive or a mother-daughter shopping spree. Or we could go see a movie. I think that we deserve that, don’t you?

Claire: Maybe we start by just going to lunch? Without security guards.

[ Both laugh ]

Victoria: That is novel. Yeah, I like that. We can go to society.

Claire: Mm!

Victoria: I’m all for that. Mom? What is it? What happened?

Nikki: What else? Jordan! I won’t let me moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Claire: Oh, no. What has my aunt done now?

Victoria: Claire, don’t worry. Jordan is in police custody. There’s nothing she can do from there. Whatever it is, there’s nothing she can do to hurt us anymore. Right, mom?

Nikki: But she’s still creating drama. Now she’s had some kind of seizure.

Victoria: What?

Claire: Be– because of the toxin that she drank?

Nikki: Well, not that I care, but she’s in stable condition. And now this medical emergency is delaying her transfer to the maximum security prison. They have to keep her in the hospital for a little bit longer.

Victoria: Of course they do.

Claire: If there really was a seizure, this could be one of her stall tactics to delay the transfer. I’m sure she thoroughly researched that poison. She knows the dosage, the half-life, the possible side effects, the antidote, of course. She knew exactly what she was going to expect from that toxin when she took it.

Victoria: She never meant to kill herself in that basement, did she? She took that poison knowing that we would help her, and that she would be sent into the hospital instead of rotting away in that room or in some jail cell.

Nikki: She is using this medical delay to come up with her next move.

Kyle: Mom, what are you talking about? How have I been trying to do your job?

Diane: I just came from the office where I learned that you had rewritten some of the presentation for a project that I’m spearheading. Why would you do that without talking to me?

Kyle: Mom, I think you have it all wrong.

Diane: No, kyle. You’re the one who has it wrong. You can’t just override my work, make changes and then put your seal of approval on it like you’re the ceo here. That’s unacceptable. What were you thinking except to deliberately try and show me up?

Chelsea: Connor, your dad and I completely understand you wanting to stay home. But that’s not how this works. Not with something as important as this.

Adam: Yeah, how can you say that you’re not going to go when you don’t even know anything about this place yet?

Connor: I don’t need to know anything about it because I’m not going.

Chelsea: Okay, maybe we should have eased into this. Connor, your feelings are completely valid, but maybe we should all look over the website together as a family and you can ask us any questions you might have.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Connor: Does it even matter what it’s like there? It’s just some place for you to send me so you can forget I exist.

Chelsea: What? Connor… no. How could you even say something like that?

Adam: Connor, look at me. You mean everything to me and more. Seriously, everything.

Chelsea: How could we forget the best thing that ever happened to us?

Adam: Hey, we love you. Don’t you know that?

Chelsea: Nothing is ever going to change that.

Connor: Even if I’m crazy, like the doctor said?

Adam: Okay.

Chelsea: No.

Adam: You are not crazy and the doctor never said that.

Connor: Maybe none of it’s even real anyway. Just a way to make us spend money on treatment I don’t need.

Chelsea: Sweetheart, ocd is very real. And the feelings you’ve been having, that you’ve been sharing with us, those are real, right? The scary thoughts?

Adam: The good numbers, the bad numbers, putting things in order. I mean, you do those things to keep the bad things away or for bad things from happening. Those feelings, they weren’t just made up, were they?

Connor: I don’t know anymore. I don’t know what to think about anything. Sometimes, I don’t know what’s really real or just made up in my head.

Adam: Look… I’m sorry, connor. Okay? This is hard and it’s scary. And your mom and I, we would do anything to make this better for you. Known as a passionate artist.

Adam: This is hard, buddy. But we’re asking you to trust us. You know, it’s our job to make big decisions like this. Especially when it’s something as important as this. But I promise you, your mom and I, we just want what’s best for you. And that is– it’s this place in maryland.

Chelsea: If we thought for a second there was a better option, something that could make the scary thoughts go away, something that could make your days happier and easier, we would tell you. But this is the best choice.

Connor: Will there be kids my age at this place?

Chelsea: Absolutely.

Adam: Mm-hmm.

Chelsea: Yeah. So many kids, struggling with the same things you are. So you can make friends with kids that actually understand what you’re going through. They’ll actually get it.

Adam: A– and they’re not freaks. And neither are you. And wouldn’t it be nice to make some friends with some people that you can really talk to about this kind of stuff?

Chelsea: Yeah. And your dad and I are going to come visit you on weekends.

Adam: Uh-huh.

Chelsea: If your caregivers say it’s okay, we’d love to take you out. We can all go sightseeing together.

Connor: I guess I can give it a try, but… if I really hate it there, you wouldn’t make me stay there, would you?

Kyle: Mom… why would I try to show you up?

Diane: Why else would you redo my work on my project without talking to me first?

Kyle: Redo? Mom, I think that’s a bit of an exaggeration. All I did was mark up some of the copy on your presentation.

Diane: And why would you do that?

Kyle: Uh, when I read it, it felt a bit rushed. So I cleaned it up a bit for you.

Diane: Rushed? Cleaned it up? Oh, because it was in such terrible shape.

Kyle: No, I was being a second set of eyes. Like a proofreader. I honestly thought I was doing you a favor.

Diane: No, kyle, that wasn’t a favor. A favor would have been if you had come to me, and you would have shared your thoughts, and then we could discuss any changes. And then I would make them, if I wanted to, with your input. You know, even if you had told me about it after you had done it, at least I wouldn’t have been blindsided. Instead, I happened to look over my final draft before the release, and I see your handiwork.

Kyle: Okay, mom, you’re blowing this way out of proportion.

Diane: Excuse me?

Kyle: No, you know none of this was meant to offend or upset. It was minor changes that happen every day in work documents. In my mind, it really wasn’t that big a deal.

Diane: Well, if it was the first time it happened, it wouldn’t be. But it has just been one thing after another. A small change here, a minor adjustment there.

Kyle: Yes, exactly, exactly. Small changes. I always have someone look over my work as a safety net. That is all.

Diane: You know what, kyle? All of this help of yours is really starting to add up. You have been reviewing and scrutinizing my work since the day I took the position, looking over my shoulder at every turn.

Kyle: Yeah, I thought we were working together. That you had welcomed my input, come to expect it. That’s how I would feel if the shoe were on the other foot.

Diane: Yeah, except you seem to forget that I’m your superior. You’re supposed to report to me, not the other way around.

Kyle: Well, forgive me if I overstepped.

[ Diane scoffs ]

Victoria: Jordan has been captured, right? She’s been exposed for the psychopath that she is. She’s got security monitoring her 24/7. I don’t believe that she has any moves left to play. I mean, yes, she’s put off getting locked in a jail cell for some time, but I mean, really, how much time has she bought herself?

Claire: This is why I wanted to leave her in that basement. We can’t underestimate my aunt. She always has a backup plan.

Jack: Good afternoon, ladies.

Nikki: Hi, jack. It’s good to see you.

Victoria: Hi, jack. Uh, I know you’ve met claire before, but I don’t believe you’ve met her as my daughter.

Jack: You’re absolutely right. I had no idea. Claire, I will tell you what I’ve told everyone else in your family. I will not let my decades-old feud with your grandfather have any effect on my feelings toward you.

[ Claire laughs ]

Claire: You’re too kind. Thank you.

Jack: I– I hope I’m not interrupting. I was hoping to speak to nikki, if you’re free.

Victoria: Oh, yes, she’s– actually, she’s free. We– claire and I are going to society to have lunch. Mom, you’re welcome to join us later if you’d like.

Nikki: Oh, thank you, sweetheart. You two go. Have fun.

Victoria: Thank you. Good to see you, jack.

Jack: See you. Uh, is this bad timing?

Nikki: No, not at all. I– I’m glad you’re here.

Jack: Were there some issues with your granddaughter? I– did I sense a tension when I walked in here?

Nikki: Yes, you definitely did. But it wasn’t about claire. It was about her aunt. I saved jordan’s life, and now I may live to regret it. Kerendia presents the abc’s of ckd.

Nikki: I mean, I knew the woman was crazy, but I certainly wasn’t expecting her to pull out a vial of poison and gulp it down. I mean, she was practically foaming at the mouth. I– I couldn’t stand there and– and watch her die. I– I had to do something.

Jack: Of course you did.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: So I called 911. At the time, that felt like a good decision, but now I’m worried that she’s going to use my split-second choice to her advantage.

Jack: Wait, but you call it a choice, but is it really one? I– you could not stand by and watch someone die right in front of you without trying to help them. Other people might, but not you.

Nikki: It doesn’t mean it was the right choice for my family.

Jack: I understand, but choosing otherwise would only torment and haunt you more.

Nikki: Well, thank you, jack. It’s good to hear you say that, and I– I will try to let go of this feeling, but the world would be better off if she had died right then and there.

Jack: So says victor newman, I assume.

Nikki: He’s not the only one.

Jack: It doesn’t matter. You stuck to your guns. You followed your own moral compass. You knew what you could and could not live with.

Nikki: I’m so relieved you backed me up on this.

[ Loud crashing ]

[ Nikki gasps ] My god, what was that?

Jack: Hey, hey, hey. It’s certainly not jordan, if that’s what you’re thinking.

Nikki: Claire said not to underestimate her, that she’s capable of anything.

Jack: Nikki, nikki, I’m sure it’s not her. She would never get through security. Let me check into this. I’ll be right back, okay?

Victoria: Sorry, mom! My purse got caught on the chair. We’re leaving now.

Jack: There you go. There’s your answe– hey, you are shaking like a leaf.

Diane: Kyle, I’m sorry. I– I didn’t mean to get so angry. I– look, I wasn’t trying to put you in your place.

Kyle: Mm. You sure?

Diane: Well, I– okay, I shouldn’t have said it like that, but, yes, I’ve had some concerns building, and I should have addressed them with you sooner.

Kyle: Yeah. Would have been nice to have known weeks ago that I should keep my opinion to myself.

Diane: That’s not what I meant. Look, I’m just trying to get a handle on our new working dynamic.

Kyle: Oh, I get it, our new working dynamic, with you as my superior.

Diane: Oh, my god, kyle. I mean, when you say things like that, it lets me know that you’re carrying around resentment towards me.

Kyle: Mm, that’s funny, because it sounds like you’re the one with the resentment, that I actually know what your job entails, that I might have some advice worth taking.

Diane: Fair enough. You do. And maybe that’s why I’m overly cautious when it comes to your involvement at work. But it doesn’t mean we can’t push through this. Why don’t– look, why don’t we get some lunch, and we can talk about it?

Kyle: Yeah, I’m sorry, mom. I just, uh, realized I need to take care of something at the office, and don’t worry about harrison. Mrs. Martinez said she’d look after him.

Diane: Kyle, we really should discuss this.

Chelsea: I promise, if this place doesn’t seem to be helping you, and you really, really don’t like it there, we won’t force you to stay.

Connor: Okay. Good.

Adam: But you gotta give it some time, okay? There’s no calling us the next day and asking us to come pick you up. Because the beginning is probably going to be slow. It’s going to feel confusing or boring. You know, it’s like soccer drills, right? They’re boring. You don’t really know why you’re doing them. But then you realize you need the basics to really play. Right?

Connor: Okay. I’ll try.

Chelsea: That’s my sweet boy. Uh, adam, can you call and confirm that we’re coming?

Adam: Yeah. This thing?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Adam: Okay, that sounds good. Um, yes, we will let you know when to expect us. Thank you.

Chelsea: Sounds like that went well.

Adam: Yeah, the administrators are on top of everything, and connor’s school and doctors are in touch, so his academic records, coursework are ready to be transferred. They can enroll him immediately.

Chelsea: Wow. The sooner we get moving, the sooner we get you back on the right path.

Adam: Well, actually, they only have one bed left, so we need to move fast. You know, maybe we could fly out later this evening if possible.

Connor: This is happening so fast.

Adam: Well, that’s a good thing. It means we need to stay focused. Gotta keep our eyes on the prize, huh?

Connor: I have to make a list. There’s some things I have to bring with me. No way I can go without them.

Chelsea: No problem. I’ll stick to the list and make sure you have everything you need.

Adam: All right. All right, come. Life is gonna get better for you, okay? This is gonna work. I love you. Never forget that, okay?

[ Adam sighs ]

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Nikki: Thank you.

Jack: Now, what was all that about?

Nikki: Lately, I’ve been in a constant state of needing to be distracted. As a result, claire and I have gotten to know each other better. We’ve been telling each other stories about our lives. It’s a way for us to shut jordan out of our head.

Jack: Is that your way of telling me one of us should stop talking?

Nikki: Yes, please. Tell me about your family. What’s going on with the abbotts?

Jack: Well, let’s see. Things at jabot are going relatively well.

Nikki: Relatively?

Jack: Diane and kyle are adjusting to their new roles at jabot, but, uh, they’ve hit a rough patch. It’ll be– it’ll be better soon. And traci is busy working on her book.

Nikki: Oh, she’s such a talented writer. I can’t wait to read it. How is ashley doing?

Jack: Actually, I am concerned about ashley these days. I was gonna ask you for some advice.

Nikki: Well, I’m happy to listen, but… I don’t know your sister would be thrilled that you’re coming to me for guidance, so please don’t credit any of my words of wisdom to me.

Jack: Duly noted.

Nikki: Well, what’s going on with her?

Jack: She is struggling with the end of her marriage to tucker mccall.

Nikki: Why is that guy still even in town?

Jack: Oh, god, I ask myself daily. Their marriage ended so badly, they each have a completely different perspective on what happened in the fight that caused the breakup.

Nikki: Let me guess. He insisted he’s completely innocent.

Jack: Oh, yes, totally blameless. And ashley, of course, argues with that. And after weeks of accusations and denials, ashley suddenly decided that maybe she blew the circumstances out of proportion.

Nikki: Well, after all that animosity, I assume their relationship is over.

Jack: Well, that is the thing. She vacillates between… hating him and wanting to forgive him and take him back. And… one minute, she’s– she’s ranting and raving about what a horrible man he is, and the next she feels guilty about misjudging him and wants to make room for him in her life. And the whole while she is saying everything’s fine.

Nikki: Well, that is unsettling.

Jack: It is. Why would she want that slime back in her life? I’ve tried offering her advice and comfort and space and anything I can think of, but I can’t seem to get through to her.

Nikki: Oh, jack, I’m so sorry you’ve been dealing with this at home while I’ve been leaning on you as my sponsor.

Jack: No, no, no, no. At the beginning, she had me completely convinced she wanted nothing to do with him. I’ve since learned that is not the case.

Nikki: I can certainly see why you’re concerned. If you still want my advice–

Jack: I do.

Nikki: I don’t think you’re going to like it.

Jack: Go ahead.

Nikki: You need to stay out of it. Now, I am the first one to say that sometimes ashley doesn’t make the best decisions. But if she is in trouble, she needs to know that she can trust you. If things blow up, she wants to be able to lean on you and not hear any I-told-you-so’S. Don’t risk pushing her away, and that could very well happen if you try to control her life.

Jack: You’re right. I don’t like it. But you’re not the first person to say it, my wife seems to agree with you. So I guess I have no choice, but to listen.

Nikki: Well, I think you already knew it in your heart.

Jack: No, I wouldn’t give me that much credit.

Nikki: Well, I hate to see you agonizing over your sister like this, but… hey, it’s not all bad.

Jack: No?

Nikki: Mission accomplished. You managed to get me out of my own head for a while.

[ Jack chuckling ]

Victoria: Wow, look at us. Out and about.

Claire: You do this with nikki, right? Mother-daughter lunches?

Victoria: Absolutely. All the time. Now it’s our turn.

Claire: It’s still weird, the difference between researching you and actually knowing you.

Victoria: Oh, well, I don’t think I want to know what they say about me in the press or on social media.

[ Claire laughing ]

Claire: The press doesn’t know how silly you can be or how sweet or that you’re not the best baker?

Victoria: Oh, well, I’m sure that johnny and katie are gonna tell you all about that. In the meantime, there’s just so much that I want to know.

Claire: Like what?

Victoria: For instance, what would you have studied if it had been up to you, and you didn’t have someone controlling your every move?

Claire: I don’t– I don’t know.

Victoria: I– I always planned to be in business, but my other great passion, something that I love so much, is art. What about you?

Claire: I love museums. For the art, but also the people watching, so cool. You get to see a painting, and then you can also see what it means to someone who’s looking at it.

Victoria: Then you were allowed to go to museums, at least.

Claire: Yeah, but it’s not really like you think. Being exposed to art was to help me fit into your world, help me blend in. It wasn’t for my sake, but I got something out of it anyway. My aunt couldn’t take my imagination from me. That was always mine.

Victoria: It is all yours. Your thoughts, your dreams, your future. It’s all yours, claire. I know that we have a lot of lost time to make up for, but we can do it, I know that.

Kyle: Afternoon, ladies.

Victoria: Hi, kyle, it’s nice running into you again.

Kyle: Likewise.

[ Phone ringing ]

Victoria: Excuse me for a minute, I have to take this. Hello.

Claire: Kyle. Do you want to sit?

Kyle: Careful. You might regret the offer. I’m not in the greatest mood, so I’m probably not the best company.

Claire: Well, you would be surprised at the kind of company I can put up with. I’m sure even on your worst day, you’re still a big improvement in my book.

[ Kyle chuckles ]

Kyle: Is that so? Why don’t you tell me more? Hi. I use febreze fade defy plug.

Claire: Oh, well, I have tons of experience with undesirable companions. I can’t single anyone out. That wouldn’t be fair to them.

Kyle: It’s nice of you to respect their privacy.

Claire: Always.

[ Kyle chuckles ]

Kyle: I wasn’t eavesdropping, but I heard victoria say you have to make up for a lot of time. I assume that’s because she didn’t get to raise you.

Claire: Right, I was raised by my great-aunt on my father’s side. She kept me pretty sheltered. So, what’s your connection to the newman family? Well, I know, you and summer are divorced, but yesterday, when we saw you with your son, you seemed like a happy family.

Kyle: Our marriage is over, but summer and i are co-parenting harrison the best we can. He’s a great kid.

Claire: I saw that firsthand.

Kyle: You did. And he’s been through a lot in his little life. I can’t let that happen again. So, summer and I are just doing our best. Yeah, you must have had a hard time as a child, too.

Claire: It was all I knew.

Kyle: It doesn’t make it any easier, does it? I mean, did you feel different than the other kids in your class who had their mothers and fathers?

Claire: Wow, kyle, you sure ask a lot of questions.

Kyle: I– I didn’t mean to be intrusive.

[ Claire sighs ]

Claire: Someone warned you about me, didn’t they? Now you’re just trying to figure out how terrible a person I really am.

Jack: Hey! Look who’s here. I thought you’d be at work.

Diane: Uh, I was, but then I came back to have a chat with kyle.

Jack: Oh, is there a problem?

Diane: I’d say so. In fact, I did say so directly to our son.

Jack: Uh, what did the two of you discuss?

Diane: Well, I confronted him about why he keeps double-checking my work and making changes to it without bothering to talk to me about it first.

Jack: And what did he say?

Diane: Oh, he said my copy felt rushed, and he’s doing me a favor, as if it’s his call to make. And then things got heated between us, and, jack, I know, I know that all of this is because he resents me for having the position that he once held.

Jack: I know you have worried about this, but it was kyle that recommended you take the job. At some point, you’re going to have to accept him at his word that this is what he wants.

Diane: Well, he might have been on board at first, but I think he’s having second thoughts. I know him, and I know that it is killing him to see me in his place. So what do I do?

Adam: Well, it took some time, and a lot of finessing.

Sally: But connor agreed?

Adam: He’s willing to go to the residential program.

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: Well, I– I know this isn’t easy, but I’m really proud of you for accepting it yourself and for convincing connor.

Adam: Ultimately, in the end, it wasn’t my choice, you know? I had to listen to what you said and put my son first. But I don’t want this. No, I don’t want any of this for him. I want him to be happy and well at home. I want the biggest problem in his life to be what movie he’s gonna go to with his pals. But none of that can happen until he gets help.

Sally: And you’re doing everything you can to make sure that’s possible.

Adam: Then why do I feel so guilty about it? When I was a kid, I was so screwed up. If I don’t know how to be a good person, how the hell am i ever gonna be a good parent? You know, did I pass this dysfunction along to him? Maybe if I had been there for him, maybe he wouldn’t have to deal with this.

Sally: Adam. Adam. No, what connor is going through is rough on all three of you. But you cannot blame yourself. You did nothing wrong. You have been an amazing parent to your son, I’ve seen it.

Adam: We’re leaving for the east coast tonight so we can get him admitted in the morning. Chelsea’s helping him pack a bag right now.

Sally: Well, that’s good. One more step in the right direction to getting connor the help he needs. Look, you have done a lot of brave things in your life, adam. I know you would deny it, but it’s true. You can and will get through this, too.

[ Adam sighs ]

Adam: Well, I– I mean, seriously, seriously, seeing him go through this is tearing me apart. He just told us he doesn’t even know what’s real and what’s just going around in his head. I mean, something– something broke in me when he said those words.

Sally: And that is how you know that you’re doing the right thing. It’s exactly why this decision is so important. It’s just what connor needs.

[ Adam sighs ] If advanced lung cancer

Sally: Chelsea. I’m glad I got to see you before you all go.

Chelsea: Hi, sally, I’m glad I got to see you, too. Um, I wanted to thank you for all the support you’ve been giving adam. He’s going through a lot. We all are, and I’m– I’m grateful that you’ve been there for him.

Sally: I mean, I really haven’t done anything much, just listened, so…

Chelsea: I think you’ve done more than that.

Sally: Well, like I told him, I know what a wonderful father he is and that he will always do whatever he can for connor.

Adam: Well, let’s just pray that it is enough.

Sally: I really can’t imagine what you and adam have been going through, let alone connor. He really is a great kid. And this facility sounds amazing, I’ll be sending all my good thoughts. And if there’s anything you need, seriously, please call me.

Chelsea: Thank you, sally. I appreciate that. And if I haven’t said it yet, I’m– I’m really grateful you’re back in adam’s life. Especially now, when he really needs your help.

Sally: Well, thank you. That means a lot.

Chelsea: Um, I don’t want to leave connor alone up there for too long, so I’m gonna head up. Um, meet you in a few?

Adam: Yeah.

Chelsea: Okay.

Sally: Connor really is a great kid. With two great parents who could not be more loving and caring.

[ Adam exhales sharply ]

Adam: And we are doing the right thing, mm-hmm.

Sally: You are. Now, look, I know you have a million things to do, so I won’t keep you.

Adam: Well, I don’t know how long they’re gonna let us stay after connor’s admitted, but I would like to stay with him as long as possible, so I’m not sure when we’re gonna come back.

Sally: It’s fine. I understand. Just keep in touch and let me know how it’s going, okay?

Adam: Yeah. Of course. Oh, I should get going. I still have a lot of things to do, like alerting nick and victor. You know, it’s sudden, and there’s probably a lot of things I gotta wrap up, so…

Sally: Hey, adam, do not worry about work right now, okay? I will let them know what’s going on. And you know nick will cover you on the work front, okay?

Sally: I will be thinking of you and connor and sending you both my love. And remember… all of your focus needs to be on your son.

Jack: I am not going to tell you how to handle this. That would undermine both of you, you’ll find your way through this.

Diane: I know, I could just use the advice of my co-ceo.

Jack: Honey, I love you both. You have to communicate. You’ll find your way through all of this. Look, you’re in a very unique position as co-ceo and his mother. Doesn’t make things any easier, but this is for the two of you to find a way to move forward. So the solution has to come from the two of you.

Kyle: “Terrible person”? I mean, why would you even think that? Why would I?

Claire: I appreciate you trying not to embarrass me over my past. Or yourself for being freaked out by it, but… we can be honest here. You learned more about my story, didn’t you?

Kyle: Claire, I haven’t hear–

Claire: I can tell. Yesterday, you treated me completely differently. You were mildly curious about my story in a, “wow, that’s so great you two found each other” kind of way. But today, your questions are pointed, and they’re intense.

Kyle: Okay. Okay. Yes. I did find out more about your life. And honestly, it’s all pretty shocking.

Claire: And you probably don’t even know the whole story. So you should walk away. After what you heard, no one would blame you. I have a dangerous past. You should go. Protect yourself.

Kyle: No, you’re not getting off the hook that easy. You said I don’t know all of it, so tell me your side. I’m ready to listen.

[ Phone ringing ]

Nikki: Security? Hello? No, victor’s not here. Did you try him on his cell? Yes, I can take a message. What? Jordan… escaped from the hospital? Oh, my god. Oh, my god, this can’t be happening.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

what the hell is wrong with you?! Noth– there’s nothing wrong with me. Okay, so if someone says something to you that isn’t flattery or — or groveling, you’re just gonna take that as betrayal? And now you’re putting your trust in ava now? What am i supposed to do? At least ava didn’t pay somebody to spy on me like you paid traitor dex! What about jason?!

[ Scoffs ] He risked his life for you! He took beatings and bullets for you. He ran your business when you couldn’T. Hell, he went to prison to protect our son! Your son. That’s another one I can’t count on. Oh, so we’re just gonna add michael to that list, huh? Pretty much. You know what, sonny? When people you trust are turning against you, maybe they aren’t the problem. Maybe you are! And who am I supposed to trust — you, carly? For all I know, you and jason… are working together. Hey. Everything okay with scout? I let her watch a half-hour show before bed on her tablet. Think that’s alright?

[ Chuckles ] Not a chance. Sam won’t like it. You know what? I’ll take the hit and say it was my idea.

[ Cellphone rings ] Come on. Let’s play. Oh, honey, it’s your mom. Hey, sam. He’s awake! What?! Sam: Dante! He’s awake! Oh, my god! Elizabeth and the doctors are in there with him now. Thank god! He’s awake! Oh, thank god! -For real? You’re sure? -Is he okay? -Yeah. Yeah, yeah. -Your dad’s alright. He’s coming back to you. Olivia? I’m here. I’m here. He’s gonna be okay.

[ Exhales heavily ] As exhilarating as it is to get out of pentonville, I wouldn’t mind knowing where we’re going. Ah. The strong, silent type, I see.

[ Brakes squeal ]

[ Engine shuts off ]

[ Door closes ] Hi, jack. Ahh. You’re looking well. For a prisoner. Valentin. You know, val, I was starting to think you’d abandoned me. Oh, I got here as soon as I could. You left me a few fires to put out, jack. Are they out? Or are you letting pikeman burn down around you? Jason. Frank.

[ Sighs ] Sonny home? I’m under strict orders not to let anybody in. But the boss would make an exception for you. Welcome back. Thanks. Go ahead.

[ Door opens ] I wish that instead of spending the last three years missing and grieving for jason…

[ Door closes ] …That I was secretly calling him and conspiring against you.

Jason: I can come back. -No. You shouldn’t have to answer this, but for some reason, sonny needs to hear it. Did you shoot dante? No. How is he? He hasn’t woken up. You out on bail? $5 million. Michael paid it. Of course he did. It’s jason. You want to tell me where you’ve been and how come you haven’t reached out? Does she really need to be here? Yeah, she needs to be here because she was at the warehouse when someone took a shot at me. Jason was on the roof. You’re not gonna deny that, right? I was there on the rooftop that night. And, what, you — you didn’t mean for me to die? I made sure you didn’T. Can you tell me why I should believe you? Care to explain what the hell went wrong with the op to take out sonny corinthos? Well, for starters, his oldest friend was assigned to the sniper team. “Alan jacobs” — that was an alias being used by jason morgan. Now, I wasn’t at the shooting, and we can’t ask the sniper because he’s dead, but I guess that jason morgan sabotaged the operation. Did nobody at pikeman realize we had jason morgan on the payroll? Well, at any given time, pikeman employs upwards of 15,000 mercenaries deployed to our various clients around the world, so forgive me if I don’t vet each one personally. Well, he didn’t just make it past the vetting process. He worked his way up to the asset group. What can I say? We only promote the best. Jack, how about in future we only promote the best a hell of a lot more carefully? Well, you make sure you do that. Institute a whole new policy. What are we doing right now to fix it? Okay, jason morgan may have derailed our latest attempt to get rid of sonny, but he’s gonna be joining you in pentonville very soon for shooting a cop, dante falconeri — sonny’s son, no less. This is like an oil slick. Just keeps spreading. So not only was the op a failure, but a cop gets, what, winged, injured? He’s probably gonna die. A dead cop. Even better. And the icing on the cake is that our operative is now in custody. So was it really morgan who shot falconeri? It’s impossible to say. It could have been our sniper, but like I said, he’s dead. Extraction team was able to get the body and the weapon off the pier before the first responders got there. So the only way to prove it wasn’t morgan is if the cop id’s the shooter. What about you? What about me? Well, the only prayer morgan has is if he — if he gives up pikeman. Could he know… you’ve been running the company since my arrest? I can’t believe dante’s actually awake! You know what? All those prayers we sent up, they did the trick. Yes, they certainly did. Mm-hmm! Okay. If you need me, I will be at the hospital. -Okay. -I’m coming with you. Me too. Oh, honey, you know, y-your dad is in the icu, and they don’t allow a lot of visitors there. That’s okay. We can wait outside. As long as we can just look in and see him. Ahh. Honey, your dad’s wounds are very serious. I-it might be kind of hard for you to see him like that. And it might be hard for him, too. I — dad said there was never a wrong time for me to come to him… that he would be there for me always. Of course he said that. And it’s true. I — hey. Hey. Take them to G.H. Yeah? They can handle it. Can’t you, boys? Look. Not knowing is way worse than seeing him for ourselves. And plus, I’ll — I’ll sit with rocco the entire time. Okay. Go get your coats. I’ll see you in the foyer.

[ Sighs ] Are you sure you’re okay to stay with scout? Of course I’m okay. Don’t worry about it. And you tell dante that I was praying for him, okay? And that I was praying in italian. The language of the popes. Well, most of the popes.

[ Laughs ] Yeah? I love you. Thank you. Bye!

[ Exhales heavily ]

Grazie mille. Well, how is he, dr. Park? Can I see him? You can. The breathing tube’s out. But dante will still have some trouble speaking. Okay. He’ll want some water. Don’t give him more than a sip at a time. And if he starts coughing, use the call button. I’ll order something to coat and numb his throat. That should help. Thank you. What else? Oh, oh. We took his chest tube out when his lung re-inflated, so be careful ’cause he’s gonna be really sore. Okay. -Go. He’s waiting for you. -Okay.

[ Monitor beeping ] Welcome back, detective. Don’t you dare ever scare me like that again.

[Weakly] Get… get what? Are you thirsty? Do you need some water? Get… over here. Hey. Does it hurt?

[ Grunts ] You lie. I’m sorry. No, don’T. Don’t you dare be sorry. You have nothing to be sorry for. I… I love you. Now, that you can do.

[ Chuckles ]

Well, you know me, jack.I’m all about discretion. I do know that. All these years, you’ve been instrumental in pikeman’s expansion, and no one had any idea you were involved. But now you’re running the place. Eh, I’m not holding shareholders’ calls. I’m dealing with supervisors through encrypted communication. There’s nothing to be traced to me. You hope. Jack, you got sloppy — coming to port charles personally, getting involved with carly. No, I don’t know if I’d call it “involved.” Diverted, maybe. Interested? Certainly. Just my bad luck that her ex is the very man that had to be removed. Speaking of… what does corinthos know? Well, he knows enough to not show his face where we can get a clear shot at him. I’ve left some breadcrumbs, some misinformation. He thinks he’s being targeted by a mysterious enemy named “stone.” Stone. Who’s stone? Somebody that sonny was very fond of, but he’s been dead for decades. And if sonny thinks he’s being targeted by a dead man, that will probably take his attention off of pikeman. There have been far too many misfires, jack. That has to change now. Sonny corinthos has a stranglehold on port charles, and if he’s not willing to do business with us… yeah, no matter how much we offer him. Then we need him gone. So…what’s the plan? You do have a plan, right? I mean, we have colleagues in the wsb eager to make sure that the right supplies get into the right hands. We have very lucrative contracts to fill and very volatile customers to satisfy. We need a reliable shipping terminal. And port charles is ideally situated. Corinthos is in the way. It’s on you… to get him out of the way. Yes. Of course I have a plan. Well, don’t leave me in suspense. How do we take corinthos down? We don’T. Sonny does it for us. So, when the cave collapsed in greece, I found a tunnel outside. And that’s when I got picked up by the fbi. Carly: The fbi was in greece? Yeah, they had peter august under surveillance. That’s why they were watching cassadine island. They picked you up. Then what? I’ve been an informant ever since. You were an informant for the fbi? Why the hell would you do that? I had no choice. You’re an — an informant for the fbi?! You must be protecting someone. Who? Who are you protecting, jason? Myself. It’s true. You’re awake.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, mom. Oh, oh!

[ Monitor beeping ] Oh, god, honey. Don’t ever do that to us again, okay?

[ Dante groans ] I read him the riot act already. Oh! Good! Good. Oh, sweetheart. I love you so much.

[ Groans ] How could — uh… how could you not? Right?

[ Laughs ] You’re cracking jokes already, huh? It’s probably a good sign, huh? I think so. I think so, too. Oh, sweetheart. I love you so much. Looks like you brought some tagalongs. Oh. They wouldn’t take no for an answer. I hope it’s okay. Is it okay if they come in and just say a quick “hi”? There are a lot of things that happen around here that I have no idea about.

[ Door opens ] Sam: Come on in. Come on. It’s okay. Hi, dad. Hey, pal. It’s okay. I… I won’t bite. It’s a little hard for your dad to talk right now, but he could use a hug. It won’t hurt him? Just be gentle. Okay. I missed you so much. Me too, bud. Hey, you.

[ Olivia chuckles ] We’re all really happy you’re okay.

[ Olivia exhales sharply ] Me too.

Been in the paperevery day since you got hurt, and today you’re on the front page because of the hearing. Hey, um, maybe we can show your dad that tomorrow. Olivia: Yeah. He just needs to rest right now. -Hearing? -He means arraignment. Whatever. Look, a-a lot of people think that my dad’s the one that shot you, and how that you’re awake… you can tell them it wasn’t him, right? Sam: You know what? I think olivia’s right. I think it’s time for dante to get some rest. Yeah, you heard the woman. Let’s, uh — everybody out. Everybody out. Dad doesn’t want us to go. Yeah, well, sometimes dads don’t know what’s best for them. Come on. Everybody. Uh… just for a minute. Alright?

[ Door closes ] Can I get you anything? Anna. It’s no secret that sonny suffers from bipolar disorder. Ah. He’s certainly managed to turn it to his advantage. Apparently, even a crime boss can get good press for being, uh, “openly afflicted.” He’s managed his condition through medication. Yeah. I have made contact with his source for bipolar meds. Let’s just say that we’ve come to an agreement. He’ll be filling sonny’s prescription at one-quarter strength, three-quarters placebo. So corinthos will believe he’s medicated per usual. He’ll become increasingly erratic, paranoid. Removing him will become child’s play.

[ Sighs ] Well, don’t underestimate the man. That was my mistake. I thought he could be bought — just like we bought all the others — and then eliminated once we were done with him. But corinthos hasn’t survived this long by being stupid. No, he’s survived by being medicated. Now he won’t be. He’s already derailed. He’s not covering his tracks. He tried to beat an old man to death with his bare hands.

[ Chuckles ] No, we’re not gonna have to go through the trouble of killing him, not if he gets himself arrested and convicted first. So that’s it? That’s all you’re gonna give us? You’re an informant for the feds? Jason would tell us more if he could. Of course you’re defending him, carly. The question is, why aren’t you? Why? Because he let us believe he was dead for two years! He had his reasons, sonny! Oh, his reasons. I don’t care about his reasons right now. Since when?! Why are you ignoring your history with someone who has always been loyal to you? Right. Until now, carly. Jason had his reasons! He’s working for the feds. He was there the night someone took a shot at me. And look at you — standing here just fine, thanks to jason. We don’t know that for sure! You don’t know that! I do! You know why? Why? Because he just told us, sonny! Oh. Oh. How about we just table this discussion for a while, right? Until cooler heads prevail. Can you please shut up?! This has nothing to do with you! Don’t — don’t speak to her that way. What has happened to you?! I’m not the one who has changed. This is my survival instincts kicking in. And it’s telling me… if you’re working for the feds, jason, and you’re not gonna tell me why… that means I can’t trust you… and I can’t trust carly. You’re both traitors to me. Do you hear yourself, sonny? Get out of my house. Sonny! I’m not gonna say it again. We need to go. This is crazy. We need to go.

I’ll be right back. Anna: Hi. Hi. Thank you for coming so late. Oh, god. I’m happy to get this call if it came at 3:00 A.M. He pulled through. Ohh. Thank god. I know. I’m so glad. I’m so glad for you and the boys and me and the department and… without dante, I… he’s just such a good friend, you know? And he’s my mvd. Mvd? Most valuable detective, obviously. I love it. I know he’s gonna love it, too. Okay. We’ll be right back. Okay? Sam: Hey. You got a visitor. Ohh… hey. Good to see you, detective. You too. Speaking is a little rough for him, so… yeah. Don’t strain yourself, okay? Anna: Alright. I’ll give you guys some space. Thanks, olivia. Guess what. You have a new nickname. Anna: [ Laughs ] Oh, yeah? Yeah. Um… mvd. Most valuable detective. You like it? Chase won’t, but I do. I’m relieved we didn’t lose you. Me too. Yeah.

[ Breathes deeply ] Is he all caught up? Um. Uh, some. He knows about the arraignment today, but I wanted everyone else out of the room before the discussion went any further. And dante wanted you. Yeah. Dante, I-I gotta ask you. Um, do you know who shot you? I never seen him before. It’s okay. Take it slow. Can — we can get you a pen and paper or something or… dante? Not…jason. Jason didn’t shoot you? No. Okay. But you saw him, yeah? Yeah. He’s, uh… it’s okay. Take it slow, baby.

[ Exhales heavily ] He’s the reason I’m alive. It’s official, folks. He’s still diabolical. Yeah, well, apparently that isn’t a character trait one easily grows out of.

[ Inhales sharply ] So how are you doing in pentonville? Ah, it’s a regular vacation. Otherwise no problems? Well, just the occasional sleepless night where I wonder if you’re up for this. Gift for logistics doesn’t necessarily translate into a gift for leadership. Well, you’re a natural-born leader, jack. Hmm. I know ’cause it says so in your psych eval.

[ Laughs ] And look where it’s gotten you. In a prison jumpsuit in a maximum-security. Right. Giving control over to me and hoping I can handle it. I can handle it. Is that confidence or ego speaking? I think we’re done here. Uh, not quite. I need cash. Oh, yeah? Still bribing your way through the system, I see. Well, how else do you get through it? Fair enough. Here. That should suffice. Thank you, daddy warbucks. Oh. One more thing. How’s anna devane? Why do you ask me that? Gives a whole new meaning to, uh… “careful what you wish for,” doesn’t it? You’ve finally achieved your undying dream of getting anna to love you… only to watch it…

[Pops lips] …Go up in smoke. You done? Uhh…yeah. I suppose. Because if anna finds out my involvement with pikeman, this van is gonna be the last you see outside the prison walls. Don’t worry! Your secret’s safe with me. You really are a bastard, aren’t you, jack? Yeah, and so are you. Two of a kind, eh? Boy, that was something else, huh? That’s one way to describe it. What’s yours? Uh, I don’t — I don’t — you know, this is — I don’t want to talk about this right now. Okay. I just want to say one more thing. I just want to say thank you for defending me to carly like that. You’re welcome. I knew it would piss her off. Still. Doesn’t happen very often, and I appreciate it. I can’t believe I ever loved carly. I mean, we raised a family together, and I thought, you know, she would stick by me till the end, no matter what, you know? Whether we were married or not. You know what I’m saying? Right. Whatever the relationship, you thought she’d always be loyal. But there was always jason. They were always… together. I mean, they got married. It’s been a hell of a day. Why don’t I fix you a drink? God knows

i could use one. Thanks. I’ll be right back. Okay? Mm-hmm.

[ Cellphone dings ]

Hey. Your turn. -Oh. Thank you, honey. Yeah. Sam. Hey. How’s he doing? It’s definitely a struggle for him to talk, but other than that… you must be letting out the biggest exhale right now. I honestly didn’t know, elizabeth. I’m really happy for all of you. Listen. Um… dante confirmed that it wasn’t jason who shot him. I thought you would want to tell jake. I know that danny will definitely be comforted to hear that. Yeah. Yeah, so will jake. I like the new name. Ohh. Elizabeth made the sign. It’s a great tribute to your mom. Yeah. I-I feel her here. I mean, I feel her everywhere, but… this place was special to her. So were you. Hey. I saw you at the arraignment today. Yeah, I was hoping that wouldn’t happen. I could tell. Well, I don’t think anybody noticed. Everyone was pretty distracted. I had to be there because I knew he was innocent. You really believe in your dad, don’t you? Of course. Well, he’s lucky to have you in his corner. Yeah. To bobbie. To bobbie.

[ Glasses clink ] I’m sorry I wasn’t — I wasn’t here for you. You would have been if you could. I know that.

[ Breathes deeply ] It’s crazy to me that sonny doesn’t see that. I-I just — what the hell’s wrong with him? I’m used to him acting like that with me, but… with you? I mean, it’s you! And you’re back. And I-I still can’t believe it’s real. Well, I know you have questions. Oh! About a hundred and one. Yeah. You know I can’t answer most of them. I know. But instead of us, um, talking about… where you’ve been, why don’t we just stay in the here and now? How’s your gunshot wound? Thank you. Uh, it’s sore. But, you know, I’m healing. What did diane say? What are your chances?

[ Sighs ] Uphill battle. Unless dante exonerates me. Okay, then we just have to believe that that’s going to happen, that he’s going to come to and he’s gonna tell everybody that you didn’t shoot him. Carly, I just — I just want him to pull through. Me too. But I want it for a lot of reasons. Is that all you got for me?

[ Chuckles ] One more. Obviously you’re back. I-I don’t know… for how long. You’re here until the trial starts, right? Yeah. Where you gonna stay? I have the most incredible news.

[ Sonny sighs ] Yeah? Am I gonna have to guess? Dante’s awake. Are you kidding me? No, I just called the hospital for an update. They said that he’s awake a-and he’s even speaking. Thank god! A miracle, right? So, uh, I should go to G.H., Right? No. You know, they told me that he’s in with the doctor and they can’t be disturbed, so you’ll have to wait till tomorrow to see him. Well, I have to call olivia and sam. Where’s my phone? Oh, you know what? I’m sure that the hospital’s already done that, sonny. Really. Just — sonny, why don’t you just sit down and relax and rejoice in dante’s good fortune… and put what carly a-and jason put you through out of your head? Honestly. That whole ordeal was so exhausting. Yeah, yeah. Exhausting… but necessary. I finally, you know, see the truth about those two. I mean, it’s been staring me in the face for years. Can I get you anything else? Yeah. Why don’t you have a seat? We can rejoice… in the good fortune of my son. Happy to.

I’m trying to figure out how long I’ve known that man I just met with. We came up in the business together. Unlike most in our line of wor k,we were never true believers in anything other than getting the job done. You know? Pragmatists. And that’s why we rose to the top together. Although, I’m sure this hardly looks like the — the top, seeing as you’re returning me to my prison cell. Not that I’m complaining. Anything to get a break from this place. Home sweet home. Sorry if I bored you. Clearly, I don’t get out much. Valentin. Val, val, val. Damn, you’re good. Uh , I know the hospitalsaid that dante woke up. Did they say anything else? Like, um, does — is he gonna have to have surgery or…? I mean, is he in the icu? I-I was so happy about the update that I didn’t even ask those questions. Should I call back and ask? No, no, no. That’s okay. That’s alright. Life is amazing. Yeah? In what respect? The constant balancing the scales. Just a few hours ago, I-I lost my best friend. But I also gained my son back. I’m so sorry about the first… and so happy about the second. You know, um, I know that I haven’t been in play nearly as long as — as carly or jason, but… …I’m here, sonny. You can count on me. You know…

[ Exhales heavily ] …It’s amazing that… …out of everything that’s happened to me, you’re, like, the only one… that’s been here for me. Well, I… probably not the only one. Well, I mean, you know, pretty much.

[ Chuckles ] Good night. Night. You have to stay somewhere. Yeah. No. I’m gonna figure it out. Do you have any money? Do — I mean, not at the moment, I don’t — I have money. Carly. I don’t need money. I have money. I just have to get access to it tomorrow. But you don’t have enough money to pay for a place to stay, so I want you to come and I want you to stay with me. No, that’s not happening. People could be looking for me. Well, then you stay at the metro court. You know the security is great there. No, that’s not happening. Oh, jason!

[ Sighs ] Oh, my god. Do you remember the room that I had here? When you lived above jake’s and I lived here. Do you remember that? Y-yes, I r-remember. The room’s available! I mean, it’s nothing fancy or anything, but it’s clean. You’ll be safe, and you’ll be fed. Y-you can use the entrance for the delivery people. You can come and go as — as often you want. Come on. What do you say? I say it — it sounds perfect. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] God. It’s just so funny. I… I had that room painted after the last tenant left, and I went up there to inspect, and I walked around the room. And I was hit right between the eyes… with how I used to feel when I lived there… how I came up with every excuse to go to jake’s just so I could see you and… I stood in the middle of that room missing you so much I could barely breathe. And now I don’t have to miss you anymore because you’re here. You’re home. You’re home. Oh, my god. Do you think I’m psychic? Do you think I had that room painted because I knew you were coming back? No.

[ Laughs ] Oh, probably not. But you have to admit — it was really great timing. It was. That’s always been the case with us, huh? Either perfect timing or… the worst.

[ Cellphone rings ] Uh… oof. Anna.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Hello? Hi. Carly, it’s anna. Is jason there? No. Why? Okay. Um… well, when you “see” him, would you let him know that dante’s awake… and, um, he made it very clear that not only did jason not shoot him, he saved his life.

[ Gasps ] Oh, my god. Anna, that is amazing. That is — that is so amazing. I, um — thank you for calling me. I-I will tell jason when I see him. When you “see” him? That’s right. And will you also tell him… “thank you” for me? Because if it wasn’t for him, I’d be down a friend. I will. Ohh! You heard that, right?

[ Sighs ] Dante woke up. That’s right, and — and he told everyone that you did not shoot him and that you saved his life. You okay?

[ Exhales sharply ] Better than I was. Me too. Me too.

[ Upbeat music ]

Hope: Thomas has left me. He’s taking our son to paris. You’ve gotten your way, and yet you are still standing here, rubbing my face in it.

Steffy: You hurt my brother. This is the best thing that could’ve happened to him.

Hope: You just couldn’t leave us alone, could you?

Steffy: You had your chance, but you couldn’t commit. Now it’s time for you to learn a lesson. Do not mess with me and my family. Brooke may have stolen my father, but you will not steal my brother.

Brooke: Thomas didn’t even take a second to think it over.

Ridge: This has been brewing for quite some time. He proposed to hope again, she turned him down again. He hit his breaking point.

Brooke: Yeah, well, for him to take douglas and fly off to paris without even– barely discussing it with his mother.

Ridge: You heard douglas. He wanted to go.

Brooke: Oh, ridge. He’s a child. He doesn’t understand the enormity of this situation. And he doesn’t know how hurt hope is. I mean, her whole world is turned upside-down.

Ridge: This all happened pretty quickly. It did.

Brooke: Yes, it did.

Ridge: And I’m sorry, and, uh… hope must be in shock, but… she was never gonna marry thomas. So he moved on.

Luna: Rj loves me and– and trusts me, and this is what I do to him?

Zende: It was definitely mutual. It’s something that we both wanted.

Luna: How could– how could I do this to him?

Zende: Hey, luna?

Luna: Zende. I– I didn’t realize you were coming.

Zende: Rj didn’t get my text? We have some stuff to go over for hope for the future.

Luna: Uh, yeah. He just went out for a run.

Zende: Ah. Well, I, um– I guess that gives us a moment to catch up. So, how is everything? You look like you just went for a swim.

Luna: Earlier. Yeah, it was nice.

Zende: Cool. Listen, luna, I hope you’re not still stressed out over our night together.

Zende: Are you okay? I really hope you’re not stressing out over that night together.

Luna: I wish I could say I wasn’t, but… look, it’s nothing personal, okay? I mean, I like you, zende.

Zende: No, I get it. You and rj are a couple.

Luna: Yeah, I never meant to betray him.

Zende: I know.

Luna: It’s just– it’s not who I am.

Zende: I am assuming that you still haven’t told him?

Luna: He still has no idea.

Brooke: Hope wasn’t ready. Okay, what if she let thomas put that ring on her finger and then she changed her mind?

Ridge: That wouldn’t have been good either.

Brooke: Exactly! Because she’s honest. She’s real. She’s truthful. And now she’s being punished for it.

Ridge: No one’s being punished. What did you want thomas to do? Just wait around, see if she changes her mind? Just put his whole life on hold?

Brooke: You’re starting to sound like steffy.

Steffy: You never truly wanted thomas. He was like a plaything to you, something you possess.

Hope: I wasn’t stealing thomas, steffy. I love him.

Steffy: Love him or leading him on?

Hope: Why are you so cynical?

Steffy: Because I know you, hope.

Hope: You went too far, steffy. You’ve crossed a line.

Steffy: Hope, he’s my brother. I was tired of you messing with his emotions, treating him like some kind of sex toy.

A year after a heart attack,

Zende: Are you still considering telling rj?

Luna: Yeah, I mean, I think about it every day. Every second that I don’t say anything feels like a lie.

Zende: Try not to look at it like that.

Luna: I mean, it’s been so hard keeping this from rj. He’d feel so betrayed, zende. If he knew what you and I– even though it was a mistake, he’d still be crushed.

Zende: Yeah.

Luna: And look, I’m not doing this to protect myself. I’m– I’m doing it to protect you and your relationship with your cousin. I mean, you guys are like the next generation of forresters.

Zende: I appreciate that you’re concerned about me and rj. I am too. I don’t wanna hurt him either. But I’m also concerned about you. I can’t stop thinking about you, how you’re doing. And… I think a lot about that night together. Part of me is mortified. But another part… it’s no secret, luna. I’m crazy about you.

Ridge: Well, let’s face it. Hope and thomas, they’re in different stages of their lives. Thomas wanted to try something new, and she didn’T.

Brooke: She explained why she was hesitant.

Ridge: Yeah. Kids, divorce, all that stuff. Or maybe she didn’t think that thomas was marrying material.

Brooke: I’m starting to believe that she can’t forgive thomas for that baby beth debacle.

Ridge: Maybe. Who knows? At the end of the day, it really doesn’t matter. If you have to talk someone into loving you, then… it’s never gonna work. I mean, this part of their life, they should be ecstatic about where they are, who they are. They couldn’t keep their hands off each other. They– dizzy, right? Just loving each other all day.

Brooke: Is that how you feel– or felt– about me?

Ridge: Feel or felt? I feel this way now. I never stopped feeling that way. I’m– I’m dizzy myself. I can’t– you’re blurry to me. I can’t even see you. That’s how much I love you. It’s always been that way. I’m an expert. Having loved someone like you for so long, I know that if it’s not there in the beginning, it’s never gonna be there. Whether steffy’s gonna interfere or not.

Brooke: Well, she did interfere. She was really mean to my daughter.

Ridge: All right, let’s– let’s not do that. Let’s not blame steffy for everything.

Brooke: Ridge, how could I not? She has it out for hope. She even admitted it herself.

Ridge: She was protecting her brother. She was concerned about him. So was I. And I think taking his son and leaving is the best thing he could’ve done.

Brooke: How can you say that?

Ridge: How can I say that? He’s devastated. Your daughter broke his heart.

Hope: You are so wrong for that. What thomas and I share is more than just physical.

Steffy: I don’t believe you. You were really just in it for the high and the attention.

Hope: Well, I don’t really owe you an explanation, steffy, but you should know I do love your brother.

Steffy: Yeah, I think you were just pretending. You were stringing him along. I mean, you even wore his ring as a stupid necklace.

Hope: Okay, fun fact, that was thomas’ idea.

Steffy: Okay, hope, if you felt uncomfortable with it, then why wouldn’t you say something? Why wouldn’t you say, “hey, I don’t know, I don’t “think I wanna marry you.”

Hope: You weren’t there. You don’t know how I feel. And I was open to the possibility of heading down that road with him.

Steffy: Yeah, the possibility. Maybe, eventually. I personally think it was never gonna happen. You were just using him as some kind of, like, casual hook-up.

Hope: Mmm? [ Scoffs ] Are you, uh– are you really trying to shame me right now? I mean, steffy forrester, the morality police? Wow.

Steffy: If you were straight with thomas, if you wanted to have your fun, that would’ve been the honorable thing to do. But you didn’t do that. No, you wanted to play with his emotions, put him on a leash. Control him with sex, the same way your mother did with my father and my grandfather.

Hope: How dare you?

Steffy: Don’t even try it. (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Zende: I know that night didn’t go the way I thought it did. We can both agree it was a very weird situation.

Luna: Definitely.

Zende: I thought you were into me. I was happy about it. I thought that we were starting a relationship.

Luna: Yeah, I mean, that entire night was just– it was crazy. Like, how were you supposed to know that I had accidentally taken my mother’s special mints and mixing them with champagne would make me hallucinate?

[ Sighs ] Those damn mints.

Zende: Had I even known that you were remotely… I would not have let us do that.

Luna: I’m not mad at you, zende. I don’t blame you for this.

Zende: I’m glad about that. That you don’t blame me. But… do you ever think about me? I’m not trying to put you on the spot or anything, but… putting aside everything else, is there a part of you that thinks about us? That wonders whether we might be good together?

Brooke: I just wish thomas hadn’t run off like that.

Ridge: I’m gonna miss him too. But he had no choice. He had to go. Seeing hope every day would be too painful.

Brooke: Running away doesn’t solve any problems. And it only makes it worse for those that are left behind.

Hope: I don’t need to defend my character to you.

Steffy: The truth is, hope, you never valued thomas the way he deserves. That’s why he’s gone. Not because of me. Not because of anyone else. He is tired of proving himself to you.

Hope: You must be blind, steffy. How have you not seen how happy we are together? Are you really that selfish that you had to go and destroy your brother’s healthiest relationship that he has ever had? You just couldn’t help yourself, could you? Just spewing accusations about me. That, what, I’m– I’m a logan? Out to destroy a forrester man? Really?

Steffy: I don’t know. Would you?

[ Hope laughs ]

Hope: Wow, you really are unbelievable. Steffy, not everything is about you. This was not about us or our history. I’m not out to get– wh– what do you think it is? Revenge?

Steffy: I wouldn’t put it past you, hope.

Hope: You really are heartless. Thomas and I were working through things. And it took me a while to find forgiveness, to trust your brother again. And we were growing together, steffy. I haven’t forgotten the things that he has done to me in his past, and yet I gave him a chance. Because I love him. And we were building something together, steffy. For us. For hope for the future. For our families. And now we will never know what that future looks like because of you.

Steffy: Yeah, okay. Go ahead. Blame me. Okay.

Hope: Oh, I– I will. Because you know what, steffy? You are just a sad, human wrecking ball who had to go and destroy something beautiful that your brother and I were building together.

Reese’s eggs are back

Ridge: Thomas had no choice but to say goodbye.

Brooke: But to not give hope any say in the matter? Douglas is her son too. They have joint custody.

Ridge: I know. But he felt he had to go, and he now has the tools to deal with what he’s going through. And douglas, he asked his mom. He wanted to be with his dad.

Brooke: But hope adores that boy. She loves him as if he were her own.

Ridge: I know all that, and– and I’m sorry for her. It’s– it’s awful.

Brooke: It’s such a mess.

Ridge: I didn’t want it to end this way. Or not at all. If only hope could– I don’t– I don’t even know.

Brooke: Hope did the best she could do, ridge, under the circumstances. She wasn’t toying with thomas. She really does love him. She just wanted to wait till she was ready. And it– you would think that steffy being a wife and a mother would understand that and give some empathy to hope, but no. No, what does she do? She waited for that first opportunity to attack my daughter.

Steffy: You try to paint this picture of you and thomas like some great, big love story. And maybe thomas thought it was. But I know you didn’T.

Hope: You don’t know what’s in my heart, steffy, because you have never really made an effort to get to know me. You just always assumed the worst.

Steffy: Hope, all you did was give my brother false hope. He loved you. He would’ve given you everything. He would’ve given you the whole world. But you didn’t care. You know what? I don’t care about your feelings. I’m never gonna buy it.

Hope: Okay, well, ridge did. Oh, is that news to you? Your father was actually rooting for us. He even told me that he wanted me to be his daughter-in-law.

Steffy: Right. Okay, maybe my father fell for the whole logan propaganda, but I’m not. I see you for who you are. You’re disgusting. You’re trash. You really are. You just think about yourself. It’s all “me, me, me, and I just “wanna sleep with whoever “I want, and I don’t care.” Look at all the things that happened with you and liam. Liam told you not to mess with thomas, and you did. Why? Because you’re a pathetic little slut.

Hope: [ Gasps ] Oh! There it is. Are you trying to be stephanie now?

Steffy: Maybe I am.

Hope: Well, that was cute, but I’m not going to take the bait and stoop as low as you. Is your life really this sad and pathetic that you have to go and destroy something beautiful? And, oh, by the way, you did it to your own brother? And now thomas is leaving, and he is taking my son, and that is only because you turned them against me.

Steffy: Thomas was tired of the uncertainty. And I heard douglas was over it too.

Hope: Enough! I’ve had it. You’ve torn my life apart. Congratulations. But you’re only doing that because you are so unhappy in your own life. And now my relationship is over. My family is being split in half, and you are just standing here, reveling in it? The fact that you have destroyed your brother’s family. You’re smiling. And that is sick. Mark my words: You are going to regret this. And I don’t know how, and I don’t know when, but you’re gonna regret it.

Announcer: Here’s a look ahead.

Nikki: Sheila carter.

Eric: No longer a threat.

Deacon: I’m gonna be having a memorial service for sheila. Please try and stop by.

Liam: You don’t have to do it. Nobody else is gonna go to this thing.

Steffy: She shot us. How can you even consider going?

[ Dramatic music ]

Steffy: What, you think I was too harsh on brooke?

Ridge: Well, you certainly get your point across. I don’t like when you go after her like that. It doesn’t change anything. It doesn’t help anything. You’re going through some stuff, so I’m going to let that slide.

Steffy: One thing has nothing to do with the other. I don’t like how brooke’s defending hope’s behavior.

Ridge: Okay. And do you think you got through to thomas, about ending it with hope?

Steffy: Seemed like it. This whole situation’s ridiculous. Thomas.

Thomas: Well, it’s done.

Ridge: Done?

Thomas: I ended things with hope.

[ Door opens ]

Hope: Not now, I need a minute.

[ Door closes ] Mom, now is really not the best time.

Brooke: Hope, what happened? How can I help?

Hope: No, you can’T. You can’t help. You can’t help.

Brooke: Talk to me.

Hope: About what?

Brooke: About you and thomas.

Hope: Well, uh. You can breathe a sigh of relief, because this ring is never going to be on my finger. It’s over. Thomas left me.

Hope: I love him. I love him, mom, I– I really do.

Brooke: Sometimes, that isn’t enough, honey, if things just aren’t meant to be. I am shocked, though. I thought he was devoted to you. And he was so dead set on having a life with you for years now.

Hope: I thought I could count on him, too. I thought, uh, he was always going to be there for me, but, um… now he’s abandoning us and what we share. I… oh, I just– I couldn’t say yes. I couldn’t say yes. But, mom, I mean. I think you know that I wasn’t ready for marriage. I wasn’t ready for that again. I wanted him in my life, mom, I did. And that is not going to be a reality now, thanks to steffy. Yeah. Oh gosh, she’s just couldn’t help herself. I mean, she just kept hounding him. Attacking our relationship. I mean, thomas wouldn’t be doing this right now if it wasn’t for steffy. She poisoned him against me.

Marshalls buyers are detail

obsessed perfectionists.

Brooke: I’ve spoken to steffy, and I’ve got to say, I don’t disagree with you. She definitely stuck her nose in this situation. And she’s doing whatever she can to undermine your relationship with thomas.

Hope: Well, it worked. Thomas took the bait. God, she had no right to interfere.

Brooke: She claims that she’s being a protective sister.

Hope: Oh, bull. Mom, she played the forrester versus logan card. She attacked me. She attacked you. She attacked our entire family. And now she’s attacking my family with thomas and douglas.

Brooke: Douglas isn’t gonna take this well.

Hope: No, he’s going to be very upset when he finds out.

Douglas: Hey, donna said you were in here.

Hope: Oh, douglas, hi. Hi honey, I didn’t realize you were going to be here today.

Douglas: Yeah, dad called. He arranged it.

Hope: Okay, uh, um, actually that’s perfect timing because I think we have some things that we need to talk about. Mom, do you mind if you, uh…

Brooke: No, of course. I’ll give the two of you some space, okay.

Hope: Okay. Um, I’m going to reach out to your dad real fast ’cause i think this is a conversation that he needs to be a part of.

Douglas: I already know.

Hope: Know what?

Douglas: Dad told me. You turned down his proposal again. He’s not the only one who got his hopes up.

Ridge: It’s a big step, son.

Thomas: Big step, uh-huh. It’s– it’s a painful step, but it’s a necessary one.

Brooke: Hey, I thought you should know douglas is here.

Thomas: Good. He’s in with hope now?

Brooke: Yes. Look, thomas, I’m not sure you’re aware how devastated hope really is.

Steffy: Any devastation hope feels isn’t because of thomas. She’s facing the consequences of her own actions.

Brooke: The consequences of your interference, you mean. I know you two are in a lot of pain, so is this really necessary?

Thomas: It– seriously, brooke? What’s with the 180?

Brooke: What?

Thomas: Your daughter’s not ready to marry me. You got what you wanted.

Ridge: She didn’t want either one of you to be hurting like this.

Thomas: I’m not with hope anymore. That’s what she’s wanted for years.

Douglas: Why did you make it seem like we could be a family?

Hope: We are a family.

Douglas: Not really. Not if you don’t want to marry my dad.

Hope: Douglas, we’ve always been a family, and I’m not sure what your father has told you, but–

Douglas: You don’t wanna get married.

Hope: You know what? You’re right. I don’t wanna get married. Not yet. Not today. Marriage is a really, really big commitment, and I didn’t feel like I was ready for that yet. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t be ready in the future. And it doesn’t mean that I don’t love your father. And it certainly isn’t a reflection of how I feel about you.

Douglas: I know you love me, and I think you kind of love dad, too. Just not enough to marry, to make us a real family. Why? What’s wrong? Why aren’t we good enough? You don’t love us enough? – Look mom! – Wow!

Brooke: Despite what you think, thomas, this isn’t what I wanted at all. But you do remember, I– I warned you. When you first proposed, I told you, you might end up disappointed.

Ridge: Disappointed? It’s a little more than that. His whole world crashed around him.

Steffy: Yeah, because brooke’s daughter used him, and finally thomas came to his senses.

Thomas: Steffy, I appreciate you. I appreciate you trying to look after me, but I can’t have you attacking hope. Brooke, I love your daughter. I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her. I wanted to provide for her and I wanted to protect her.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, my. I can’t believe that you fell into this. Yeah, that’s, uh, quite unbelievable. It’s gonna be perfect for June. I think so, too. Oh, and I have a suggestion, if you don’t mind. Um, I think you would do well to, to get a port a crib. Yeah. For the reception. I mean, I don’t know if he’s going to need a nap, but I can’t imagine they will have an actual crib at the DiMera mansion.

As opposed to the pub, for which dad has watched all the Brady grandchildren since forever. I don’t understand why there was a change in venue. Nicole, she wanted to host a party for Jude. And what did Sloane say about that? She wasn’t thrilled because I said yes without asking. Oh, Eric. I know, I know. But how was I supposed to say no to Nicole?

After everything she’s been through.

So, Eric’s gonna want to take a ton of pictures tomorrow. Uh, do you think we should set up outside? I mean, the daffodils are finally blooming and I did plant those lovely California poppies. Yes. Honestly, I don’t think anything is going to beat that creepy ass Stefano DiMera portrait as a backdrop. I mean, it’ll just look like a poster for a horror movie.

That is not true. Okay, speaking of garden, do you want to go outside? I think we could both use some fresh air. Um, nah, I’d rather not. I just want to go to my room. Thanks. Honey, wait. Honey, is everything okay? No, it’s not.

Alright, Dr. Nichols told me to read back what I wrote, so uh, here goes nothing. Dear Annoying Stupid Journal, My therapist said I can write whatever I want in here, as long as it’s honest. But, I gotta say, this feels really weird. Yeah. Uh, I don’t think I’ve written by hand since the third grade. It was Tyler’s class.

God, she hated me. Anyway, I don’t need therapy to get me back on track. Get me, yeah, whatever that means. I just need to get out of here. Hi. Seriously, only you would be mainlining caffeine at this hour. Sure. That’s, uh Good idea. Well, no tremors. Haven’t keeled over yet, so that’s positive. Thanks for meeting me.

Well, I’ve been wanting to talk to you too. Oh, really? I’ve been trying to reach you with a spectator, but Chad said you’ve barely been around. Yeah, I’ve had a lot on my plate. Great. Great. Well, I’ve wanted to deal with you directly since You were the one who retained my firm. Yeah, okay. It’d be best if you hired a new PR firm for The Spectator.

I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to work together anymore.

So, uh, you wanna let me in? Are you afraid I’m gonna shoot you?

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

Alright, what can I do for you, Xander? Not a thing. I, uh, came to thank you, actually, for helping me make bail. I owe you, mate. You don’t owe me anything. I couldn’t positively ID my shooter, so the judge made the right call. He did. That’s the other reason I’m here to see you. I, I wanted to say that, yes, I have done some terrible things in my past, but I am a changed man because I’m a father now.

Nothing is more important to me than being a good person. For my daughter and for the women I love, I, I want them both to be proud of me. So I want you to know for certain, straight from the horse’s mouth. I did not shoot you, detective. I am innocent.

Steph, don’t do this. Don’t punish yourself because you’re angry with me, which you have every right to be. Look, I hired you to do PR and social media for the paper because you’re the best that there is. But if you don’t want to deal directly with me, um, I’m sure Chad would be more than happy to be your point.

I don’t want to deal directly with you in a professional setting, Everett. Bobby, I don’t even know what I should call you. I can think of a lot more names, and they’re worse than the ones you just mentioned. Does this mean you’re finally admitting that you were married when you and I were together in Seattle?

That you cheated on Jada with me?

If I understand what happened,

there’s still a lot more questions than there are answers. But yes, I have come to realize that there’s a lot more gaps in my memory than I, than I initially thought. What kind of gaps? Um, well, for instance,

I can’t remember my father. Hello.

You know that Sloan has issues with Nicole, and for good reason. So what, you want me to uninvite Nicole to the christening? You can’t, you can’t uninvite her to the christening since you already have her planning the entire reception at DiMera Mansion. I know.

You know what, it’s just that Nicole and Holly are like family to me. Oh. Well, how does Sloan feel about this? Well, she’s not exactly happy with me. But you know what, Nicole, she stopped by the house this morning and believe it or not, Sloan and Nicole, they kind of, they kind of bonded. Really? Yeah. Well, you know, Judy was a bit fussy this morning, so Nicole, she kind of calmed him down.

Yeah. So I actually seem to be grateful. Well, that’s a very positive step. Yeah. I still worry a little bit.

Worry about what?

Your relationship with Nicole is very complex. And I think you’ve got to be sensitive for other people. I am trying my best, Mom. Listen, I think you need to stop worrying too, okay? Okay, I won’t worry. I just, I just want you and Sloane to be happy. And what is that supposed to mean?

I want you to be happily married. What did you think it meant?

What’s the matter, honey? Are you Mom, relax. I’m not feeling sick. I’m just upset. About Tate. Yes, about Tate. When I told you the drugs weren’t his, I thought he’d be released from that halfway house. But instead, you didn’t believe me. Honey, it’s not that we didn’t believe you. You admitted yourself that you don’t remember everything that happened.

Well, I remember everything before that night perfectly. And I never saw Tate using drugs. Ever! Well, there’s a first time for everything. And Tate was acting awfully suspicious that night. Okay, so? It’s not like you can prove he roofied me. And why the hell did EJ have to go slap a restraining order on him?

EJ and I agree that you and Tate need to take a break from each other’s company. God. You act like Tate’s this horrible influence on me, and we literally went on one real date. And look how that turned out. Not because of Tate.

Mom, listen. What happened on New Year’s Eve, it wasn’t his fault.

It was mine.

I’m sorry. I, um, I just thought you were trying to tell me something that Cole might have Set in therapy. Well, that would be quite an ethical breach, wouldn’t it? Yeah, it would. I’m sorry that Jim’s asleep. Oh, it’s okay. I will see plenty of him tomorrow. Yeah. By the way, um, I’m looking forward to tomorrow, and Brady is, as well.

He’s taking his duties as godparent very seriously. I’m so glad you asked. With all that’s been going on with him lately. Yeah, he needed this. Yeah, I know. And of course we’re all hoping that Tate is released. As soon as Holly wakes up and, um, remembers what actually happened on New Year’s Eve. But it seems that she doesn’t remember where she got the drugs.

Brady thinks, uh, She’s not telling the truth. Of course, he, he would seriously want to believe his own son. And Nicole wants to believe Holly’s telling the truth. As much as I hate to say it, because I love, love Holly. But, say what? Brady’s not the only one who thinks Holly’s not telling the truth. Holly,

honey, look at me. She’s not. You have got to stop blaming yourself for that night. Even if Tate didn’t give you those drugs, they weren’t yours. Mom. Honey, let me just finish, okay? Marlena made me realize that self blame is a coping mechanism. And it’s just sometimes the way we deal with trauma, but You know, it’s not, it’s not really good for anyone.

And that, that night, Holly, that terrible night that you OD’d, I thought there is no way those are Holly’s drugs. Not a chance. But then, self doubt started creeping in and, and I started to question myself. And I was wondering, man, am I oblivious to what’s going on under my own roof with my own daughter? So I started to blame myself for failing you as a mother.

For not being more attentive, and, and missing out on your birthday, and, and making you worry about me when I should be worrying about you. Mom, you were going through so much when you lost that baby. Please don’t be so hard on yourself, okay? Honey, I just, I want you to understand what I’m saying. I realized that you do not do drugs, and you were the victim on New Year’s Eve.

Someone maliciously put drugs in your drink without you knowing about it and it almost ended your life. And I blamed myself for no reason. Just like you are now. My sweetheart. What could you possibly be sorry for? Why would I want to be with someone who obviously doesn’t care about me? When? Holly only dated me to get over her big crush on Johnny DiMera, her step brother, and now she won’t admit those were her drugs that made her OD.

Hers, and hers alone, which makes her selfish and mean. Not my friend. God, I need to get over her. Wait, you don’t remember your father? You never realized it before now? Yeah, I don’t know. I, uh, guess I thought it was sort of an out of sight, out of mind sort of thing. But when I was in session with Marlena, you know, she, she asked me about my mom.

And even though she, she died when I was younger, I could still see her face, you know? I could, I could smell her, her perfume. But when she asked me about my dad, uh, I don’t know. Total blank. It’s really strange. Steph, did I ever tell you anything about him? No, you didn’t. I mean, I remember asking you about him once.

You just kind of zoned out on me. So I, I figured it was a sensitive subject. And I never asked again.

Well, thank you for your time, detective. I’ll be on my way. That’s it? Yeah, that’s it. I came by to say my piece, which I’ve done. You, uh, you drink scotch? Um, yeah. Yeah? Single malt? Okay. Of course. Okay, got some right here.

Ask how you can so calmly offer to share a drink with someone who everyone else believes tried to kill you. Because I have a gun.

And I believe you didn’t try to kill me.

Detective Michaels, it uh, obviously means a great deal to me that you believe in my innocence, but why do you? Well, from one ex mercenary to another, I know what it’s like to be accused of something you didn’t do. And of course, there have been plenty of times I was guilty. Likewise. But I have been working really hard on myself, turned over a new leaf, and I get the impression that you’re trying to do the same thing.

I have been, yeah. And look, like I say, I’ve done many regrettable things in my past. But I’d never be stupid enough to try and shoot a cop. Not anymore, especially now that Sarah and I are back together and we have our little girl, who’s the light of my life. I mean, I’m so happy. Why would I risk it all to put a bullet in you?

I mean, no offense, but I don’t even know you. Right, right, which is the assumption why you were a gun for hire. Yeah, but I wasn’t. I just wished there was some way to track down who sent me that text and deposited the money into my account. Well, we know that forensics came up empty. Okay. So, assuming you were set up.

Do you have any idea who might have been behind it? Wait, you think Holly may be lying? I think it’s possible. Um, I told Brady that I would talk to her and I did. She was evasive. Oh. Well, I’m glad you spoke to her and I’m sure that Brady will be very grateful that you did. And, I just hope the truth comes out.

Soon. Yeah. So how are you doing, Mom? Me? Yeah. Brady said that John’s been a little, I don’t know, out of sorts lately. Is there anything I can do? No. No, darling. Well, if you ever want to talk about it. You’ll be my first call. Well, I should get going. Let me walk you out.

Thanks for coming by. Love this boy. Thanks. Honey, you have nothing to feel guilty about. Nothing at all. So can you just be kind to yourself? Yeah, I’ll try. Listen, I have to go pick up a few more things for the christening tomorrow. Do you want to come with me? Mom, I’m kind of tired now. Well, call me if you need anything.

I love you. I love you too, Mom. See you.

Serenity Salem halfway house. Come on, come on, come on. And then she comes down to the police station to tell the truth. At least that’s what I thought she was going to do. But she didn’t. And now I’m not even allowed to see her.

Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe I don’t need her in my life anymore.

So did Marlena have any idea why your memory was so badly affected? I mean, yeah, she said it very likely has to do with the brain injury from the accident. Hmm. And she suggested we try hypnotherapy. Sounds like it’s worth a try. Yeah, I said I would give it a try. The truth is

What? I don’t know. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just scared of what might come up. You know, especially since I was told I was, uh Monster. That I did Awful, unforgivable things. But Everett, if If you’re upset that you did those things Or maybe I didn’t It’s pretty clear that you did. And maybe with hypnotherapy You’ll learn that there was some Mitigating factor And it could be that you’re Just a different person now.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, maybe. In which case, I suppose it would be too much to ask. Too much to hope for that, that you and I, uh, Never mind. I know it would be too much to hope for.

Everett, I’m sorry that you’re dealing with this mental health issue. I really am.

And I know that you don’t have a lot of people to lean on here, so I’m not going to disappear on you. I appreciate that. And I did have real feelings for you. Which, as you know, I was starting to To have, again, but It’s okay. I I think I I know where you’re going with this.

I’m not saying anything’s impossible.

If it’s meant to be. When it’s all said and done. We will figure it out.

Okay. I’ll take it.

Don’t give up on my stuff.

Hmm. Can’t say I’m a sister because she’s only eight. Do I say I’m a long loss? And who died tragically in a skiing accident. No, I can’t call him dead, uh,

Yes, that’s it. That should work.

Good evening, Serenity House, Salem. Hello, may I please speak with Tate Black? This is his mother, Teresa Donovan.

Phone call, Tate Black, from your mother. Tell her I’m meditating, or whatever. I’ll call her tomorrow. She says it’s important. Okay, okay, I’m coming.

Dr. Evans, hi. Herbert, hi. How are you? I’m, uh, I’m, I’m okay. I’m, I’m headed home. Yes, I am too. So, uh, have you had any more memories? I haven’t, no, unfortunately. Oh, well. We’ll keep working on that. Yeah. Okay. Good night. Yeah. Dr. Evans, wait. Jada,

hi! Wait, you’re not even going to say hi? I didn’t see you. I have a lot on my mind. Me too. Listen, I got the distinct impression at the hospital earlier that you were We’re upset with me. I’m upset at the entire Bobby situation. Why wouldn’t I be? Right. Of course. I am too. Listen, Jada. We’re friends. And we were both victims of his lies.

So can we please just Get together and talk about it. See, the thing is, I don’t see you as a victim. I’m the one who was cheated on. Well, yes, but And maybe it seems a little irrational. I mean, maybe it is rational. But I Can’t help but keep bumping up against the fact that You are the other woman You helped break up my marriage

I’m sorry, you feel that way Jada that you think of me as the other woman

But don’t you think the person you should be mad at here is Everett? Oh, I’m plenty mad at him, too Jada, I know that you were hurt. And I am so sorry about that. But I didn’t know that Everett was married. And if I had, I never would have gotten involved with him. You sure about that? What? That you didn’t know.

Yes, I’m sure I didn’t. Or maybe a small part of you just didn’t want to know.

Why would you say that? Stephanie, did you ever hang out with his friends? Meet his parents? Look them up on the internet? Yeah, none of the above. Right. So, Stephanie, this man was keeping his life a secret from you, obviously. And you, being a smart woman, had to have suspected that there was a reason for that.

And yet, you didn’t. You didn’t do any digging. You didn’t even pick up a shovel. Because maybe, you don’t know, maybe, maybe you just didn’t want to mess up your life. You know, you were just so blissfully happy and in love that you didn’t want to find out anything that would screw that up and mess up your perfect little life.

Well,

unfortunately. Salem is home to a number of people who would love nothing more than to do me in. EJ DiMera probably being at the top of that list. So, when I got that text, ordering me to carry out the hit, I ran over to the DiMera mansion to confront EJ about it, but Stefan was the only one home, it turned out.

I see. And, you no longer think that EJ set you up? Well, I just, I don’t know why he’d want to do you in. I mean. Sure, maybe he was trying to protect the family name. You did do that drug bust on a DiMera owned business, but it just doesn’t seem like reason enough to have you murdered. You’re the cop. What do you think?

Nothing concrete, so far. Right. Well, as far as I know, there was only one eyewitness to the shooting. And that was you. So are you sure you don’t remember anything at all?

Well, I know I agreed to try hypnotherapy. But, I have to admit the more I The more I think about it, I don’t know, the more afraid I am of what might come up. Huh. I understand. And the truth is that Not knowing could be even more destabilizing. And, and knowing might help you get rid of some of your fears.

So maybe, um, maybe we just want to move forward. I see what you’re saying, but, um, honestly, I, uh, I’m not sure.

Hey, Mom, what is it? What’s so important? It’s me. Hey, hey, remember, you’re on the phone to your mother. Right, right, yeah, of course. Uh, hi, mom. Uh, I’m doing great. How are you? Are you okay? I’m okay. But Tate, I’m so sorry about everything that’s happened. And she’s being such a jerk. I really wanted to see you when I came to the police station.

So badly, but they wouldn’t let me. I know. And now this restraining order. I just I can’t stand that this is happening to you because of me. Well, there’s something you can do about it. I know. And why don’t you?

I was stopping by the chapel to see Father Bernard. About the reading for the Baptist. Right. Well, I’m sure you’re surprised to see me here. Yeah. I’ve never really been much of a church goer, even when I worked here. But, ever since losing the baby, and everything that Holly’s been going through, I’ve just been talking to God a lot lately.

Unfortunately, I haven’t heard from Him yet. Well, just keep listening. Okay. Yeah. You know, actually, I’ve, I’ve been doing the same thing lately.

You know, running into you, here, it just kind of feels like, Like what? Feels like fate.

Nicole, I have a confession.

Sorry, I don’t remember anything. But whoever it was, They shot you in the chest, so you must have been face to face with him, or her, or them. Yeah, look, even if I, uh, do recover some of those memories, I’m not gonna tell the prime suspect anything about the investigation. I’m sure you can understand that.

Yeah, so, I will tell you this. Uh, while the charges against you remain active, and assuming that you’re innocent, I’m I will do everything in my power to clear your name. You just gotta be patient. That’s not my strong suit. Yeah, well, the wheels of justice turn slowly, but they do turn. And I believe we’re gonna find that shooter.

I don’t know about that, mate. And you know what they say? No justice, no peace.

You think I have a perfect life? Really? Thanks. Well, first of all, you know damn well that I have my struggles just like you do. And my God, Jade, where is this coming from? Oh, am I not supposed to ask you questions? And I’m not a detective like you are. No, you’re not. In fact, have you ever had a job where you even had to get your hands dirty?

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Oh, nothing really. I mean, I guess it’s irrelevant. But what is relevant, huh? If I found out that a guy cheated on my dear old friend with me, I wouldn’t be sticking by his side. That’s not what I’m doing. That seems like that’s exactly what you’re doing.

Being all so sympathetic to the poor guy. Who cares if he’s a lying sociopath? Your heart is just bleeding for him, isn’t it? Everett is going through a lot right now. He is very confused. And he doesn’t have any friends or family here. Poor bastard. Have a good day. Everett, you know, whatever we discover in therapy under hypnosis, and, and it may be nothing at all, but whatever it is, I will be with you every step of the way.

Thank you. Of course. I will see you at our session. You will. Promise. Look, when

I told my mom and EJ the drugs weren’t yours, I thought that would be enough. But it wasn’t, Polly. Listen, Tate, would you just let me explain, please? I’m sorry. When my mom lost the baby, she was in a really dark place. I mean, she was out of her freaking mind with grief. And then when I OD’d, she was totally about to blame herself if it turned out those drugs were mine.

For, for not being there for me. For being not a good enough mom. Tate, it would kill her if she thought those drugs were mine. I honestly don’t think she could take it. And she, she sort of lost her mind when that little boy died. If I told her the truth about what happened on New Year’s Eve, she would just totally fall apart.

Look, I, um, I gotta know that you weren’t being selfish, that you were just trying to protect your mom. I am, but Tate, I feel so bad about what you’ve gone through, what you’re still going through. It’s okay, I’m not gonna be in this place for much longer, at least I hope not. But your mom going off the rails, that could, that could destroy your whole family.

So you shouldn’t tell her, ever. What? Tate. It’s okay, really, don’t worry about me. But I am worried about you. Look, this, uh, this halfway house, it’s not so bad. I mean, you know, it’s not a five star hotel or anything, but the food’s not horrible. Tate, are you Just take care of your mom. Okay? EJ’s home. I have to go.

You have a confession.

Wouldn’t you rather talk to a priest? No. This is something that I want to tell you. Only you. Okay, I’m, I’m listening. Oh. When you, when you came by this morning, I was, I was getting out of the shower and

Well, I kind of eavesdropped on you and slumped for a bit. Okay. Yeah, well, it’s just because I was worried that you two weren’t going to be able to get along. Once I saw you help her calm Jude down, Wow. It just did my heart good. I’m glad.

You know, after everything that we’ve been through, I’m just, I’m really grateful that we can still be friends.

So am I.

Wow, that really wasn’t much of a confession. No. I guess not.

I guess I just, I just wanted to share with you how much our friendship means to me.

As yours does to me. Well, I’m gonna let you finish your prayer. And, uh, I’ll see you here tomorrow for the baptism. Yes. Yes. I’ll, um, I’ll see you tomorrow. Okay. Yeah. Take care.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Adam: We should make sure that connor has everything he likes to eat.

Chelsea: Well, we need to figure out what foods trigger him. And all we know is that he wasn’t eating enough at school. That he was fearing contamination, but what are the specifics? Is it because the food was from the dining hall? Are there specific foods? Is it how it was plated? I mean, there’s so much we don’t know. And I don’t want to encourage his fears, but we have to make sure our son eats to support his little body. I mean, there’s so much I don’t know. There’s so much I still have to learn. I…

Adam: Well, we’re gonna figure it out, okay?

Chelsea: Well, yeah, but we can’t just guess, adam.

Adam: Aren’t you at all relieved that connor is back home? Because I sure as hell am.

Chelsea: Honestly? Not really.

Adam: Chelsea, come on. How long has it been since we’ve seen him smile like that when he walked into your apartment?

Chelsea: Too long.

Adam: I hate to say this, but maybe shipping him off to that school was more of a setback than a solution.

Chelsea: No. No. I don’t think that for a second. That school picked up on things we would’ve missed, adam. We would’ve just thought he’s become a picky eater or– or he just likes his desk to be organized. No. That school served a purpose. It got us to this point.

Adam: Right. To this point, where he’s back home. You can see the weight that has been lifted off of his shoulders, chelsea.

Chelsea: Adam, the first thing he did when he went to my place was make sure I hadn’t moved anything around in his room. His issues don’t go away because of a change of scenery. He’s still very focused on the numbers. He’s still obsessed about the germs.

Adam: But at least he is back home, and we can still get him treatment here. We can just do it locally.

Chelsea: I know you’re struggling with connor’s diagnosis. I am, too. But no one is struggling more than connor. So, it doesn’t matter what we feel. It doesn’t matter what we want. We have to make a decision. For his sake.

Daniel: Hey, you know, I don’t understand why lucy is so nervous about introducing us to this waylon guy. I mean, what father in his right mind is gonna let his daughter go to the prom with some dude that he’s never met?

Heather: Oh, right. Okay, just, uh, for the sake of argument, let’s say you met this guy.

Daniel: Uh-huh.

Heather: And you just– you can’t stand him.

Daniel: Okay.

Heather: But he asked lucy to the prom, and she’s over the moon, thrilled to go. You’re not actually gonna tell lucy she can’t go, are you?

Daniel: Yeah, maybe I am.

Heather: Okay, that’s pretty funny to me, because you’re the biggest pushover I’ve ever seen when it comes to lucy.

Daniel: That’s– no, that’s not true. I have said no to her plenty of times. Like, once when she was three, and she asked me if i would teach her how to drive.

Heather: Hm. Lucy’s always made good choices when it comes to people she’s hung out with, so I don’t see why this boy that she has a crush on will be any different.

Daniel: Sure. Let’s just hope that he’s not like me when I was his age.

Heather: Oh. Fingers crossed.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Heather: Okay. Well, as much as I’ve enjoyed not talking about chancellor-winters, I’m afraid it’s almost time to head back to the office.

Daniel: Ugh.

Heather: We can do this. We can do it, okay? But considering lily asked me to not rub it in her face, I just think that maybe we should head there separately and go directly to our respective offices when we get there.

Daniel: Yeah. Devon made the same request of me, so it’s probably a good plan. For as long as I have an office to go to.

Lily: Hey.

Devon: Hey.

Lily: Lunch was a good idea.

Devon: Yeah, well, you forget to eat, and I can’t relate, but I’m used to it after all these years.

Lily: Oh, so this is about my nutrition and not about distracting me from heather and daniel?

Devon: Well, if that was the plan, you just ruined it by mentioning both of them.

Lily: Yeah, that’s ’cause i know what I have to look forward to when I go back to the office.

Devon: Why? You have no reason to see them.

Lily: Uh, I do, ’cause I told esther to set up a meeting with them to catch me up on what i missed while I was gone. And now, I’d rather have a root canal.

Devon: Well, tell esther to cancel those meetings. You don’t need to talk to them. I can catch you up on everything.

Lily: I can’t avoid the head of our gaming division and a key member of our legal team forever. Which is why the sooner I get this over with, the sooner we can go back to work, business as usual.

Devon: Right. Well, do you ever think there’ll be a time where seeing both of them in the office doesn’t bother you?

Lily: Honestly, no. Which is why I think it’s best for everyone if we fire daniel and heather.

Billy: I’m sorry, excuse me for a second. What did you just say? What are you doing here? You planning another corporate purge? What the hell is going on? Hey… it’s me! Your dry skin!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Devon: Billy, we were discussing terminating heather and daniel’s contracts.

Billy: That’s what I thought I heard. Any particular reason for that?

Devon: Yes, of course, there’s a reason, but we don’t need to get into it right now. We just feel that it’s necessary to do.

Billy: Sorry, none of my business? Is that what you’re trying to say?

Devon: No.

Billy: Except it is my business because I was voted onto the board the same day abby was, and I actually work for chancellor-winters, so I think I deserve a little more information.

Devon: I’m aware of all of that, billy. Can you just trust us on this and not turn it into a paranoid chancellor versus winters argument, please?

Billy: Well, if you can’t give me the details, then maybe you’re not confident in your decision. I’m just trying to get a handle on things here. Are there any other company divisions that you plan on gutting behind my back?

Lily: We were talking about firing two people. That’s hardly gutting a company division.

Billy: I disagree. It’s exactly what it is. I mean, daniel single-handedly built the gaming division. So back to my original question. What is the reason for this, and was I gonna get a vote on this, or was I gonna find out about it in the corporate newsletter?

Devon: No, I mean, of course you were gonna find out about it. We were gonna tell you.

Billy: You were gonna tell me. Not discuss it, not– not bring me in on the conversation. You were gonna tell me about it. I wouldn’t have heard anything about this if I didn’t walk in on this conversation. But yet, I’m the one that’s paranoid about corporate power moves.

Lily: Says the man who stole my office while I was taking care of my daughter.

Billy: Yes, I did that. That’s true. How is mattie, by the way?

Lily: She’s good, thank you.

Billy: I’m glad to hear that.

Lily: So, now that I’m back, are you going back to jabot so that I can have my office back?

Billy: Got no problem relocating my office, but I will be staying at chancellor-winters.

Lily: Oh, okay.

Devon: I’m sure they would love to have you back at your family’s company, though.

Lily: Yeah, I think so, too.

Billy: I– I agree with both of you, but unfortunately right now, I need to stay where I am to make sure that my mother’s best interests are represented, which means I’m gonna be part of every decision that this company makes.

Heather: You’ll keep your office, daniel. Probably you will.

Daniel: Or probably I won’T.

Heather: Look, if either of us is going to be fired, it’s definitely going to be me. I wouldn’t be surprised if when I arrived at the office, I find all my belongings in a cardboard box on the curb.

Daniel: It’s an effective image, but unlikely.

Heather: No, lily told me herself that terminating me is a definite possibility. She truly believes that I targeted you the minute that lucy and I got back to genoa city and that I zeroed in for the kill as soon as she left town.

Daniel: Yeah, but we both know that’s not true.

Heather: We do. She doesn’t, and I really don’t think we’re gonna be able to convince her that she’s wrong. Besides, let’s face it, I’m a lot more expendable than you are.

Daniel: Why do you say that?

Heather: Well, because my position was on a legal team that was doing perfectly well before I got there, whereas you, you’re the head of their gaming division, which has been a huge success for chancellor-winters.

Daniel: Which devon happily pointed out that chancellor-winters is not just a shareholder in omegasphere, they own it. It’s their property, it belongs to them. They are gonna continue to benefit from it whether I’m there or not.

Heather: I– I don’t know about this. Let me just, um, let me look into things legally if there’s a way I can protect you from being let go. I’m just–

Daniel: No, no, no, no, no. That is not a battle that I want to fight. Look, a contract’s a contract. I signed it. They want me gone, I’m out of there. It’s fine. And devon, he’s just looking out for his sister, so who could blame him?

Heather: But I know how much you’ve invested into omegasphere since the day you started it. I mean, you’ve poured your heart and your soul into it.

Daniel: Yes, I have.

Heather: Okay, I need to ask you a question. And it may be difficult to tell me the truth. Just please promise me you’ll tell me the truth.

Daniel: Of course I’m gonna tell you the truth.

Heather: You may lose your job. You may lose a company that you created and something that completely turned your life around.

Daniel: Yes. What was the question?

Heather: I don’t know, does that make you regret what’s happened?

Adam: Look, connor is happy that he’s home. We’re happy that he’s home, okay? I’m not suggesting that we just throw up our hands and we say, problem solved, what’s for dinner? He– he has serious issues.

Chelsea: He has ocd. We love him enough, we have to admit that. But what we can’t do is manage it by ourselves. That’s above our pay grade. We have to make a decision here.

Adam: And I’m not disagreeing with you. I’m just saying that maybe it’s a mistake to rush anything.

Chelsea: You heard what dr. Alcott said. The sooner he gets some in-depth treatment, the sooner he can gain the tools he needs to handle the illness.

Adam: I just don’t understand why you don’t want to get a second opinion before you wanna send our son away again.

Chelsea: Because it will most likely be the same evaluation, adam. And then, we’ll waste precious time. Did anything the doctor say to you seem untrue? You’ve seen connor’s behaviors. He’s told us himself about the germs and the counting and the terrible fears. Do you really think he’s been misdiagnosed?

Adam: I’m– I’m not a doctor, chelsea. You know that, that’s the point here.

Chelsea: I’m not asking you anymore, adam. I’m begging you. Please get on board with me. Please.

()

Chelsea: Moving forward is so important, adam. We need to show connor that– that his diagnosis is not some– some monster that he can’t beat. We have to show him that it is manageable and it is treatable with the proper help.

Adam: Yeah, and when did I say otherwise?

Chelsea: We don’t have to say anything. Our kid is really intuitive. Your fear, my fear, he senses it. And then, it adds to his fear and we can’t do that to him.

Adam: And we are not doing that. We are gonna get him whatever help he needs, chelsea.

Chelsea: I’ve done a lot of research on the residential programs dr. Alcott was telling us about and I found an incredible one in maryland. I think it could be the answer to our prayers. Just hear me out. I emailed it to you. Take a look. I think you’ll be just as impressed as I was.

Adam: Okay, first of all, I still don’t understand why there is nothing closer that we can check out. And second of all, even if this is the gold standard of residential facilities, we still have to convince connor to get on board with this because if we force him to go to any facility, this could make it worse.

Chelsea: Okay, well, you telling him that he doesn’t need to go away again if he doesn’t want to, not helpful.

Adam: Okay, I thought it was important for him to know that we’re hearing him, chelsea. That his opinion matters to us. The kid is suffering. He said he feels like a freak. Okay? That’s his words. And he doesn’t want to go to a hospital for crazy people.

Chelsea: We have to help him understand that there is no shame in getting help and that this actually isn’t a hospital. If we show him that we accept it, adam, he will learn to accept it. I will work on connor, okay? I will be able to convince him that this place is good for him, that it will help him, but I need you to be on my side. We have to be on the same team. We have to put aside all of our differences and– and all of our guilt, and all of our confusion, and all of our anger and realize that this is gonna help make connor better. I’m scared, too. But if we do this together, we can be the parents connor needs us to be.

Adam: All right. I will at least look at the material that you have for the place in maryland.

Billy: So what happens to the gaming division after you fire daniel? Do you fold it? You just shut it down? Sell off the intellectual properties, keep some? What? I mean, I’m assuming you thought about the practical fallout of this decision.

Devon: We haven’t gotten that far yet, no, but when we do, we will welcome your input.

Billy: Oh, I’m sure you will. You won’t even tell me the reason behind it. I mean, come on, it’s gotta be pretty serious. You’re gonna fire the person you’re in a relationship with, lily. So, you’re not in a relationship with him anymore. Is that what’s behind this?

Devon: Can you drop this, billy?

Billy: Oh, I get it now.

Devon: Can you please drop this?

Billy: So something happened between heather and daniel, and now you want to fire them both.

Daniel: Tell me something, counselor. Do, uh, I look like a man who’s filled with regrets?

Heather: You look like a man who’s dodging a question.

Daniel: Well, maybe it’s you who has the regrets and you’re just projecting. You know, yeah, sure, you like me a little, but maybe you’ve decided that I’m more trouble than I’m worth.

Heather: I adore you, daniel romalotti, and when I look at you, my heart still flutters. You are the man that brought lucy into my world and the man I went to savannah with to start a new life. And the man I am so excited to start a new chapter with, so do I regret being with you again? Absolutely not. So please, can you just answer the question?

Daniel: Heather, I promise you I have no regrets. Look, my little plan started a long time ago back in savannah. I knew that I needed to clean up my act. I knew that I needed to show you that I was that guy that you could count on, and, look, I didn’t screw it up. I mean, you’re here. I know how lucky I am. It worked.

Heather: Just maybe not the most convenient timing for lily or, um, your career.

Daniel: Yeah, well, no way is a professional disappointment gonna be more important than how I feel about you.

Heather: Okay, but we both know this is a little more than a professional disappointment. Omegasphere helped you turn your life around, helped you find yourself. I mean, we’re not talking about spreadsheets and profit-loss sheets. We’re talking about your heart.

Daniel: Yeah, you’re right. I do love omegasphere. I’m– I’m proud of everything that it’s accomplished. I’m proud of all the people that it’s helped.

Heather: You should be.

Daniel: You know, it reconnected me with my mom when she was working in tech. It reconnected me with my dad when he was doing the music for it. Lucy is the best beta tester that anyone could ever ask for. Basically, it helped every single one of my relationships. But, you know, initially, it was created as a way for me to get my act together and a way for me to bring you and lucy back into my life. So, I mean, if you look at it from that perspective, it may have served its purpose. I mean, it’s only real purpose. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Daniel: How about I make you a promise?

Heather: Hm. Depends on what it is.

Daniel: I promise that no matter how things turn out with devon and lily at chancellor-winters, I’m gonna be fine.

Heather: Okay. I like it. Keep going.

Daniel: No, look, think about it. I mean, I started off as a painter, right? Now, I’m doing video games, development, design. And who would’ve thought that I was doing that kind of stuff, right? So maybe there is a whole new frontier out there just waiting for me to discover it and– and I just have to pay attention and keep an open mind. I’m not worried about me. I’m more concerned about you.

Heather: Why would you say that?

Daniel: Well, one of the main reasons you came back to genoa city was the job offer from chancellor-winters.

Heather: Which I appreciated a lot and I liked the work. It was even kind of interesting, but the main reason I liked it so much was because it kept me in close proximity to you for 40 to 50 hours a week.

Daniel: Oh. Well, you know, I think that we can probably figure out a way to keep ourselves in close proximity without any help from anybody else.

Heather: And I think I could probably find another position in town.

Daniel: See? So, regardless of what happens with devon and lily, we’ve got a lot of great things to look forward to.

Heather: Yeah, as long as it doesn’t affect what we are rebuilding. I’m– I’m feeling pretty optimistic about it. Yeah. I mean, maybe you could even go back to school, get your law degree, and, uh, we could set up shop together.

Daniel: Oh. They’re not gonna make me take things like law and stuff, are they?

Heather: Um, it’s been a while, but I’m pretty sure you would. However, knowing us, if we put our heads together, I’m sure we can figure out a way around it.

Daniel: Oh. You– you want to put our heads together? Like this?

Heather: Like– like this.

Daniel: You want to try?

Heather: Yeah.

Daniel: Yeah. I think it’s working.

Lily: Well, congratulations on your brilliant deduction skills, billy. Yes, daniel and I broke up. And no, it wasn’t mutual. And yes, he and heather were together, and I didn’t know about it. So, anything else?

Billy: I’m very sorry to hear that, lily. I’m sorry that you’ve been hurt in that way, again.

Lily: Thank you. I believe that you mean that.

Billy: I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t mean it. So is that the reason why you’ve decided to make this move?

Devon: You don’t think that’s enough?

Billy: In one word, no. I get the want to react. I understand that you’re hurt, and you don’t want to see him at the office, so you want to kick daniel and heather to the curb.

Lily: This isn’t just about being hurt. This is about the success of my family’s company.

Billy: Okay, please explain that part to me, because as far as I know, omegasphere is doing very well. And heather has found a place on the legal team. So?

Lily: You don’t think the tension in the air is gonna affect the work environment? People are gonna find out about daniel and heather, and it’s gonna make them very uncomfortable.

Billy: So is tension the worst possible outcome here, or is a wrongful termination suit? Or two?

Devon: No, nobody’s gonna sue us for anything. I’ve talked to daniel about this, and he’s the one who screwed up, and he knows it. And he’s owned up to it. So I don’t think he’s just gonna turn into a jerk overnight and fight for a job that he knows is just gonna hurt her.

Lily: Exactly. He and heather don’t wanna create any more drama than they already have.

Billy: With all due respect, I think you’re being a little short-sighted here, okay? This might not end up being emotional for them. It could be about income. It could be other possibilities that we haven’t thought about yet.

Lily: Oh, well, thank you for your unsolicited speculations.

Billy: Lily, again, I am sorry. And it pisses me off that daniel would do something to you like that. Cheating on you while you’re taking care of your daughter, that is not right, but this decision that you’re making right now is a mistake. You’re letting your emotions dictate your professional choices, and you’re enabling your sister out of loyalty. Both I understand, but you’re talking about terminating two employees that this company hired for rekindling a relationship that has not crossed any boundaries yet except for the ones around lily’s heart. And again, I’m not trying to be harsh. And I hate the fact that you are going through something like this, but you’ve gotta find a way to separate the two things, okay? ‘Cause you’re about to make a decision that is gonna be very difficult to come back from.

Devon: As annoying as he was, you know he did make some valid points.

Lily: Yeah, well, I don’t agree, so… type 2 diabetes?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. Get your spring going

Lily: You know, way back when jill hired billy and me to work at chancecom, she hired us as a team because she didn’t trust billy’s judgment. And I’m sorry, but that hasn’t changed. So, he doesn’t get the right to judge me on how I make decisions for the company.

Devon: I understand that. I do, I get it. I still think though that we should probably take some time to let the dust settle before we make any moves.

Lily: I don’t need time to let the dust settle. I’ve already made my decision.

Devon: So, you weren’t affected by anything billy just said?

Lily: No. I’m sorry, billy abbott lecturing me on keeping emotions out of business? When has he ever done that? And if you’ve forgotten, ask jack.

Devon: I haven’t forgotten, but separate that.

Lily: Okay, well, do you agree that the work environment sets the tone for productivity?

Devon: I do, yes.

Lily: Okay, and are you okay with me being uncomfortable at my own company?

Devon: No, of course not.

Lily: All right, well then how else do you expect me to feel being around daniel and heather all day, every day?

Devon: I think that eventually, you will figure out how to cope. And you’ll be fine–

Lily: Oh, my god. Okay, you know what? Honestly, I am done having this conversation. So, I’m gonna go.

Abby: Hey, guys.

Lily: Hi, abby.

Abby: Hm. What just happened?

Daniel: Well, you know, I have the perfect way for us to continue to work side by side doing what we’re both best at.

Heather: I can’t wait to hear it.

Daniel: We open one of those fancy art law boutiques.

Heather: Of course, those art law boutiques. I’m not sure that’s even a thing.

Daniel: Great, well then we’ll have a corner on the market. Come on, a painting with every lawsuit? How could that idea possibly fail?

Heather: What happened? Where’d you just go? Or do I already know?

Daniel: It’s a little hard to forget that I’m the guy that broke lily’s heart. We’re sitting here, we’re having this conversation right now because her and devon, they’re talking about getting rid of us.

Heather: Daniel, did you even hear me earlier? I was happy to be at chancellor-winters because it meant being near you. Okay, subconscious or not, this is what I wanted. I mean, do I really even want to stay at chancellor-winters feeling guilty about being in a job that lily helped me get? I mean, maybe if I just go in there today and she gets to me first and I stand there while she fires me, that’ll be enough for her and then she will let you keep your job.

Daniel: No, absolutely not. If she wants to fire me, I’m not gonna fight it. I’m not gonna exacerbate the whole situation. But you know, maybe it’s time we stop second-guessing what they’re gonna do and we get proactive about this.

Heather: Proactive how, exactly?

Daniel: By doing something that would benefit everybody that’s involved. I could march in there, I could resign. Maybe that would be the best way for me to make amends and– and to keep the peace.

Adam: You’re right.

Chelsea: Which part?

Adam: The program does seem to be top-notch.

Chelsea: Keep reading. It gets better.

Adam: Well, the director is world-renowned and former patients rave about how it changed their life, you know? Connor’s school vouches for it. I mean, where was this place when I was growing up? I didn’t have ocd, but I had plenty of other issues.

Chelsea: I felt the same way when I read it. You and I both had very complicated childhoods, which led to complicated adult lives. I just feel like we’ll never forgive ourselves if connor looks back on this time and thinks we didn’t do everything we could to help him.

Billy: Hey.

Chelsea: Hey.

Billy: Summer said I could find you here. Brought you some takeout. How’s connor today?

Chelsea: Well…

Billy: This, uh, this in-person facility seems pretty great, doesn’t it?

Adam: And you know that how?

Billy: Chelsea shared the information with me and, you know, I read through it, but to be honest, I was pretty impressed.

Adam: You were?

Billy: Yeah. I mean, it seems like the perfect place to trust with your kid. You know, clear communication. They’re very open about the treatment programs and protocols going forward. Not to mention support for parents and guardians so they’re not left out in the wilderness trying to figure out how to move forward.

Chelsea: Exactly. Connor needs some guidance. We all do. This is very new for all of us.

Adam: So, you’re already in the loop. And you already have an opinion. Why do I suddenly feel outnumbered? Hm? Is this an ambush? (Vo) welcome to lobsterfest. Is your party ready?

Chelsea: No, this is not an ambush, adam. I emailed billy the information so he could take a look. That’s all. Consider it a second opinion.

Adam: Okay, well, in case this isn’t obvious, which I’m sure that it is, the second opinion that I was looking for was gonna come from a professional mental health expert. A specialist. Not your boyfriend, who knows absolutely nothing about ocd. Or is connor’s parents, by the way, so why does he get a say in this?

Billy: I’m not saying I do. I’m just simply here to offer what chelsea asked me for and that was input.

Adam: Just so we’re clear, this is 100% chelsea’s and my decision.

Billy: Absolutely. Couldn’t agree more.

Devon: So, before you showed up, lily had just heard billy out about heather and daniel. And then she shut me down when I said that billy made some good points. And then she stormed off ’cause she just was tired of having the conversation all together.

Abby: Sadly, you and I had a preview of that reaction when we put amanda and chance through something similar. Only worse.

Devon: Yeah, I’ve thought about the similarities of that many times. You know, lily is getting through it. She’s– she’s gonna be fine. She’s just bouncing back and forth between anger and pain.

Abby: Of course, who could blame her?

Devon: At the same time, billy pointed out that emotional reactions have practical ramifications.

Abby: Okay, so what’s the answer?

Devon: I have no idea what the answer is. I’m hoping we can find a solution that causes the least amount of damage as possible. Maybe heather and daniel can work from home, or on a different floor of the building.

Abby: There seems to be an option that you’re avoiding.

Devon: Yeah, well, that’s– that’s ’cause the more I think about it, the more I can see that billy might be right. That firing daniel and heather could be a mistake.

Abby: I couldn’t disagree more. They should be fired.

Daniel: Okay, why don’t we go over our options– thank you– for these meetings with lily, where we, um, catch her up on everything that happened while she was in california with mattie. Wow, this is gonna be excruciating.

Heather: Not if we keep it strictly professional.

Daniel: Sure. Okay, option one, we call esther, tell her we need to reschedule.

Heather: Right, and that makes us look like cowards.

Daniel: Right, so that’s off the table. Option two, I put us all out of our misery and I resign.

Heather: Nope, I can’t let you do that.

Daniel: It might be better for everyone.

Heather: Daniel, I keep on telling you this, it’s too soon. Okay, maybe if omegasphere was just your job, but it’s not, it’s your passion. And although you may say it served a purpose to bring us back together, you cannot just walk away. You would regret that for the rest of your life.

Daniel: It’s a chance I might be willing to take.

Heather: Okay, hold on, maybe– maybe all we need is just a cooling-off period, the three of us. Yes, lily is hurt and angry right now, but she’s always seemed like a reasonable and level-headed person. What do we do?

Daniel: I don’t know. Maybe she’ll just get her coffee and leave and wait to talk to us back at the office when we’re supposed to meet.

Heather: Hm, or maybe she won’T. And in that case, I will gladly walk over there and give her my resignation letter right now if you promise me you do not walk away from the company that means so much to you.

Daniel: Okay, don’t do or say anything. Just let her say whatever she has to first. Okay, when you turn around, you’re gonna see someone.

Billy: Look, adam, don’t get mad at chelsea for keeping me in the loop. Okay, I’m only trying to be here for her so she has someone to lean on. I’m not trying to tell you how to raise your kid.

Adam: Well, that’s good to know.

Billy: What about you? Do you have someone that you can talk to about this? Because look, it’s not just about helping connor, okay? This is about you two making sure that you feel supported and trying to figure out the best way to be there for connor.

Adam: Yes, sally gave me some useful advice, including what you just pointed out. Connor has never needed us more than he needs us right now. And we need the people around him to support us on that. So, if this helps connor, that is all that matters. So, let’s move forward and do whatever it takes to get him into that program.

Devon: Now wait, why do you think heather and daniel should get fired?

Abby: Devon, when you and i got together, amanda went to virginia to take care of her mother. Partly because her mother needed her, but also partly so she didn’t have to face us every day.

Devon: That’s true.

Abby: And lily and daniel have been close since they were kids. And I’m sure that lily will always hold a special place in her heart for daniel. And yes, lily is hurt right now, but I’m sure that she’s not gonna begrudge daniel his happiness with heather.

Devon: No, she would definitely not do that ’cause she’s an exceptional person.

Abby: So the kind thing for daniel and heather to do would be for them to resign.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: Lily shouldn’t have to dread going into the office every day. It’s her office. And what, she has to just watch them be happy together? Lily gave daniel and heather that job. I mean, she made this possible for them.

Devon: I know that. I know she brought daniel and heather in, but she’s in a position of power. And if she uses that power to punish them for something personal, don’t you think that’s a little unprofessional or unethical?

Abby: So what, lily is supposed to just suck it up?

Devon: She’s definitely been through a lot worse, and I know that she will eventually get through this. And in the meantime, I can do whatever I can to help keep her away from daniel and heather.

Abby: Yes, that’s exactly what the ceo of chancellor-winters should be doing. Worrying about seating arrangements to protect his sister.

Devon: It would also be me protecting our company. Because billy also pointed out that there are some serious legal issues at stake here. Especially with someone involved who is a very experienced, high-powered attorney. So, the problem is– is we can’t predict how heather and daniel are gonna react to getting fired for no other reason than they fell back in love.

Daniel: Hi.

Lily: So, I was gonna wait ’til we got to the office to do this, but I figure I might as well do it now. Devon and I spoke, and you both are terminated, effective immediately. So, we will give you a great severance package, and that’s just the way it’s gonna be.

Daniel: Okay. Lily, I am so sorry that this is the place that it’s gotten to.

Lily: Yeah, well, you should have thought of that before you betrayed me.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Both: Hi.

[ Both chuckle ] Um…I went looking for you at the dorm. And when I saw that you weren’t in our room, I figured that I’d find you here. It’s nice to hear you call it that. “Our room.” Even though you’re not living there right now. Yeah. Um, is it okay if I sit? Yeah, of course. So, are you here to make sure jason gets the book thrown at him? Um, I’m actually not here for jason. I’m here for you. Where is it? Where is it? Perfect! Kristina. Hi, butterfingers. Hi. Wasn’t sure if I’d see you today. Are you kidding me? A chance to support my sister? How you doing? You know, just one big ball of nerves. One big stylish ball of nerves. Lookin’ the part, sis. At least I got that going for me. And a million other things. Don’t sell yourself short. Am I shaking? I think I’m shaking. Breathe.

[ Chuckles ] It has to be tough, prosecuting someone who means so much to you. Yeah. “Tough” would be a cake walk. This feels nearly impossible. Did you do it? Did you shoot dante? No. I believe you. And there’s something else. It’s about danny.

What about danny?

[ Exhales deeply ] Uh, after I was shot, I-I hid out at the boathouse. Okay. And danny found me. Wait, so you’ve seen danny? Yeah. He helped me.

[ Sighs ] He got a first aid kit from the main house and brought it down to the boathouse. It’s just, I am… I don’t know. I’m a little confused. Wait a minute. Why — why didn’t danny tell me he saw you? I told him not to. Is aiden here, too? He’s up at the main house. Why? Why is aiden at the main house, or why are we here? Second one. Um, my mom figured, if we’re all staying home because of the arraignment, we might as well stay home together. But I assume it’ll go pretty quickly. They’ll see that dad shot dante, they’ll decide he’s guilty, and then he won’t be granted bail. First of all, that’s not how arraignments work. There’s no verdict or anything. And second of all, what makes you so sure dad’s guilty? My entire job today is to remain impartial. Seeing jason is going to test that. Yeah, big time. I mean, how am i supposed to argue that he’s some awful murderer after all the history we have together? His years with sam? I mean, he’s danny’s father. How do I do that? That’s the other reason I’m here. Thought you were here for moral support. Of course I am. That’s what I’m here for first and foremost, but also… molly, you can’t give into to your soft spot for jason. Okay? He’s guilty. Says who? My father, for starters. I saw him the last couple of times he went to visit dante, and he did not want to believe it at first, but there’s evidence linking jason to the warehouse shooting. So, obviously, dante followed him, and that’s when jason shot him. Is that obvious to sonny, or is it obvious to you, kristina? Because it certainly isn’t obvious to the police, or to the da’s office, or to me personally. Why would they be charging jason if they didn’t think he did it? There is reasonable suspicion and supporting evidence that jason shot dante. But there was also another unidentified individual present, and we’re not sure what part they played. So nothing is obvious. And, let’s not forget, in our legal system, the defendant is innocent until proven guilty. No matter what sonny thinks. This is exactly what I was afraid of. What? You don’t want jason to be guilty, so you are scrambling to come up with a scenario where he’s not. But, molly…

[ Sighs ] As hard as this is going to be, and I really know that it is going to be hard for you, you have to check your feelings at the door and do your job. But what’s your professional opinion, portia? I know I’m not family, but I’m — I’m very worried. Mm-hmm. Okay. Well, I-I appreciate that. Thank you so much for the update. Yeah.

[ Knock on door ] Yes, alright. I’ll call you back. Yes. Bye. Thanks, dex. Come in. Um, close the door. Was that about dante? How is he? It’s the same. His family must be going out of their minds. Yeah. Waiting is a special kind of torture. Yeah. I appreciate you coming in. Thank you. I assume this is about our last conversation. I figured, once you thought about it, you would change your mind about pursuing a case against sonny. And I am still willing to testify against him, if that’s what you’re wondering. No matter what it costs. Even if it costs you your life?

Sonny has resources. You know? He would know that you intended to testify against him before you ever even took the stand. Is that where you come in? Offer me some kind of protection? Yeah. I mean, I can authorize that. But it wouldn’t guarantee your safety. Because sonny has a way of getting around everything. Yeah, he does. There’s witness protection, but from what I understand, you want to stay in town, don’t you? Where does that leave me? Not in a courtroom, that’s for sure. I do not want you testifying. I’M… I’m sorry, commissioner. I don’t understand. If you don’t want me to testify, then what am I doing here? A thought occurred to me. Um, a way that you can ensure your own safety. I’m listening. You come work for me at the pcpd. Joss, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Jinx. You can’t talk until I say your name. That was a joke. Josslyn.

[ Both laugh ] Clearly, I take my jinx very seriously. Yeah, apparently. Okay, well… mm-hmm. Um, but for real. Yeah. Yeah. I am… I am sorry. I’m so sorry. I was a total b, and you didn’t deserve it. Oh, I kind of deserved it. Why? Well, I mean, of course, I’m very happy and I’m relieved that jason is alive. But I d-do really think he’s innocent. That’s me, and that’s how I feel. And you are more than entitled to feel differently about it. And I’m really sorry if I acted like you weren’T. Apology accepted. Back at you. I will say… that my attitude wasn’t just about jason possibly being a suspect in my father’s shooting. What else was it? I was — still am — having a hard time getting past the unfairness that jason got to come back while spencer’s still gone. Thank you so much, kristina. Getting the sense you don’t really mean that. Are you? You getting that sense? Yeah, even more so now. Look, I just don’t need you coming in here moments before the arraignment to tell me something that, not only do I already know, but I’m struggling with in real time. Because, how nice to be you, right? With your advice and your nuggets of wisdom, all cozy in the back of the courthouse, while I have to actually make the argument for why somebody I love and respect, who, not for nothing, probably has an explanation for what he did, shouldn’t make bail. Okay. That’s a valid point. Multiple points, actually. Standing down. Thank you. Hey. Molly, you are an excellent lawyer. You’re also the most ethical person I know. I — I’m sorry. I should’ve just kept my mouth shut. Yeah, well, wouldn’t really track for you. True. Okay. Let me ask you a question. Since when are you so anti jason? -Don’t be naive, danny. -What does that even mean? Of course he’s guilty. The guy took off… oh, now he’s “the guy”? …Let us all think he was dead, and then came back and shot dante. If you’re waiting for him to be proved innocent, you’ll be waiting forever. Okay, you don’t know any of that. I-I don’t know that dad left us? Or that we had a memorial service for him? That’s just a story you told yourself. Unless you’ve talked to him? Dad?! Yeah, right. Or the police. Did they fill you in on all the evidence they collected? Don’t be stupid. You’re the one who’s being stupid, jake. You’re mad at dad. I get it. So you want him to be guilty. I-I don’t want any of this. I mean, god, danny, you live with dante. He’s the best. He’s always fun, always joking around, always has time for everybody. And now he’s lying in a hospital bed because our father put him there. Guys, stop. I love dante, and rocco, he’s like a brother to me. Hell, that’s why I’ve been sneaking out to the hospital, to get updates on his dad. Can you please not fight? Are — are you telling rocco that our dad is innocent? Like he doesn’t have enough to deal with already? Obviously, you don’t care about dante. Or rocco. That’s messed up, jake. How does me thinking our dad’s innocent make me not care about rocco or dante? Why aren’t you mad at him? Why aren’t you giving him the benefit of the doubt? Because he doesn’t deserve it. That’s why. Hold on. Just — just so I’m getting this straight. You — you told our son

not to tell me that he had seen you and he was helping you? Yes. I’m danny’s mother.

I have been raising our son on my own for most of his life. What the hell is wrong with you, jason? Danny is just a kid. A kid that has issues! Wh-what do you mean? What kind of issues? No, no! D-don’t! Don’t do that! Don’t pretend to be a father to him now. You disappeared, leaving me to pick up the pieces and put our son’s life back together. And I did that, by the way. You don’t get to just come out of the sky, out of nowhere, and tell our son to lie to me? To keep secrets from me? Use him because you’re in trouble, putting him in a — in a situation where… my god, jason. Danny could be brought up on federal charges. That is our baby I’ve been protecting. Say something! Don’t just sit there! Tell me you know that I’m right, about all of it! You’re right. You are a danger to our son. Do you hear me? Stay the hell away from danny.

[ Door slams ]

You want me to join the pcpd? Don’t look so shocked. I happen to think that this is inspired. Until very recently, I was working on the inside of sonny’s organization doing all kinds of illegal things on his orders. Exactly. And that’s what makes you an asset. Commissioner, I almost murdered an old man on sonny’s orders. I know. I know. It’s — it’s — it’s hard for you to wrap your head around it. When mayor collins, she offered me this position again, I felt like my past, it — it — it disqualified me somehow. But now I realize that the best cops are the ones who know how easy it is to go wrong, because they’ve been there themselves. So it’s fine that I’m no better than the criminals you’re trying to put away? I think it’s more than fine, dex. I think it’s a bonus. It’s gonna sound so irrational. Not to me. Every morning, I wake up, and the first thing I think is that it’s either a nightmare and that spencer’s still here, or that today is the day that I’ll get that call, that they made a mistake and spencer’s fine. And to see that scenario playing out for you and — and your mom and everyone that loves jason… I know. You want that to happen with spencer. So badly. I’m so sorry. You know, for me, it was different. I knew that oscar’s death was coming, but I understand. I know you do. That kind of grief consumes you. I can’t get out from under it. But you will. You will, you know? One day, eventually, your time with spencer, those memories, they’re gonna make you smile. It’s not going to break your heart anymore. I don’t know if I’m there yet. No one expects you to be there. I just miss him so much, joss. So much. In a way that I didn’t even know that you could miss people. And it feels like I’m gone now, too. You know, you’ve, very understandably, lost your way for a bit. But you’re going to find your way back. What if I don’t? Then you can reach out your hand, and I’ll take it. And we’ll make it through together. I’m not anti jason. You’re certainly not pro. No, I guess I’m not. Don’t look so surprised. But I am. I mean, krissy, you were literally drugged and five minutes away from being tattooed and sexually assaulted when jason carried you out of dawn of day. I know, and I will forever be grateful to jason and to sam for getting me away from shiloh. But, molly, we don’t know what’s happened in the last couple of years. Jason could be totally different person now, and the evidence is pointing in that direction. Evidence is subject to interpretation. That’s the whole point of a trial. The prosecution interprets it one way, the defense interprets it another. And the evidence shows that jason was there when dante was shot. Okay. And so just because sonny believes that jason shot dante, you believe it, too? Well, for my father to go against jason, that’s a big deal, and you know that. So, yeah, I-I-I’m inclined to believe him. You need to be careful who you talk like this around. What are you talking about? Danny? Our nephew? I mean, I know i need to have a talk with him after today, explain that I’m just doing my job. Because, believe whatever you want, jason is still danny’s father. Please! Dante has been more of a father to danny than jason ever has been or will be. Thank you. I, uh — I saw sam leaving… as I came in. I’d ask how that went, but I hate talking to myself, so… let’s focus on your case. We have a hero cop in the hospital on life support, the chances getting smaller and smaller every day that he will wake up to exonerate you. We have a da with a working and perfectly reasonable theory that you shot said cop without realizing who he was, then you realized it and tried to save him. Too little, too late. Now, you know that’s not true, and I know that’s not true. So how do we get the rest of the world on board? Give me something that I can use. Do you have an alibi? Is there a timeline? Is there someone I can call who will say, “nope, jason didn’t shoot dante”? Is there anything you can give me, please?

[ Sighs ] I can’T. Get off of him! Come on! Stop! Break it up! You guys

are family.Don’t do this to each other. I can’t with this. I’m really sorry.

Tell me something about your time together in paris. Like what? Anything! You know, after oscar died, nobody wanted to talk to me about him, and probably because they didn’t want to upset me, but I felt the opposite. I wanted to talk about him. I wanted to relive our times together, you know? Yes. That’s the perfect way to describe it. So tell me something about paris. It was the happiest I’ve ever been. I bet spencer would say the same. I think so, too. I mean, it doesn’t get more romantic than the city of lights. No. It…[ Sighs ] It was more than that. Our ease being together, you know? It was — we found, like, the perfect rhythm with this paradise as our backdrop. Mm-hmm. I felt more like me in paris with spencer than I ever had before. It sounds so special. It was. Until it wasn’T. Let’s stay with the “was.” Okay. I’m so grateful that you got that time with him, and that that time with him was so incredibly special. I’m grateful, too. You seem to be under the impression that I need this job. Don’t you? I’m ex-military. I’ve been in my fair share of close calls, and here I am, still standing. You’ve just been to the police station twice in the past few days. Not clandestinely, either. So? So, what makes you think sonny doesn’t already suspect you of being a turncoat? You know, it’s — it’s fine. Like, if you want to go it alone, you’re welcome to. But I really feel that the pcpd could offer you some cover. Think about it. I will. Don’t take too long. Time is not on your side. You know what I keep thinking about? I keep remembering when we would decorate sam and jason’s apartment for valentine’s day. I mean, I haven’t thought about it in years, but it’s like I can remember it like we did it yesterday. Can you really call that decorating, though? More like an absolute flooding of valentine’s day bling all over that place.

[ Chuckles ] Come on, it was beautiful. It was. It was also pink. A little red, but a lot of pink. So not jason’s style. No. Those candles and flowers? Did we buy throw cushions for the couch? Yes, we did. And guess what color those were? Jason’s fault it totally was. I mean, honestly, he gave us an insane budget to work with, and we were so young. Of course we were gonna go full out. I just remember thinking it was the most romantic thing that he did that for sam. It was — it was romantic. But it was also a really long time ago, molls. Things change. People change. How much? A lot sometimes. You know, I just — I think you need to face the fact that the jason who came home might not be the jason we remember. Okay. I will consider that possibility if you will consider the possibility that maybe — just maybe — you’ve got this all wrong. Diane, I wish I could give you what you need. But I can’T. We’ve known each other a long time, haven’t we? Yes, we have. Yes. So I’m sure you’ve recognized that, very often, I will say things are worse than they are so I look like even more of a genius when I pull off a victory at the end. Right? This is not the case. If dante dies, it’s murder one. That’s as bad as it gets. The state of new york doesn’t have a death penalty, but if you are convicted, then you spend the rest of your life in prison. You are my favorite client. Difficult in your own way, absolutely. Like, you know, now. But I would hate to see you be put away for life for something you didn’t do, especially since we just got you back. So if there’s anything at all that can help me help you — anything! — You’ve got my number.

[ Door closes ]

Brook lynn. Surprise.

[ Exhales sharply ] Guessing I’m not who you were expecting to see here. Uh, not really, no. Um, I know the, uh — the desk sergeant. He let me in. Perks of soon-to-be-marrying one of the detectives. Congratulations. Thank you. I’m sorry. I-I-I don’t know why this is so awkward. I’m usually so good at small talk, but it’s tripping me up for some reason. Why don’t you just start with why you’re here. Yes. Um… monica asked if I could come. She wanted me to give you this. Hey! Jake told me I would find you here. He say anything else? Well, he just looked a little worse for the wear. Ouch. Does that — does it hurt? Not really. Why would you get into a fight with your brother? He kept saying dad was guilty. It really pissed me off. I just saw him. Dad? Yeah. He — he told me that he was here and you were helping him. You’re mad. Yeah, I am, uh — I’m furious. But not at you. What your father did was completely unfair. Hey, look at me, danny. It’s not your fault you did what your father asked you to do, but you are to never do that again, okay? Mom. Never, danny. I wanted to help him.

[ Scoffs ] I’m sure you did. Look, it’s not like he asked me to rob a bank or anything. He just needed some bandages, so I got him a first aid kit. Okay. Listen to me. “A,” he involved you in a situation where he’s wanted by the fbi and the pcpd, and “b” — this is the worst part for me — he told you to lie to me, to keep a secret from me. Danny, don’T. It is not okay under any circumstances. But when there are criminal charges flying around, it’S… I never thought I would actually say this about your father, but that did it for me, danny. Any trust between us has been broken. Robert. Did we have a meeting? What, a man has to make an appointment to be with his ex-wife these days? When he’s the da and his ex-wife is the commissioner. I have a lot on my plate today. Well, why don’t you try delegating sometime, hmm? So, what is this about? Okay, I’ll be quick. I’m — I’m here to make a confession. God. What are you confessing to? I’m a big fat coward. Look, I don’t want to fight about this. You think I do? In fact, I wish you were less focused on the arraignment and more focused on your health. You mean the baby’s health. Well, aren’t they kinda the same thing? Stress of any kind is not good for a pregnancy. So if you really came here to support me… I did. …Then the best thing you can do is just go home. I see. Is that an order, ada lansing-davis? Thanks, joss. For what? Being a best friend when I know you could use one right now.

[ Chuckles ] I’m fine. Liar. [ Chuckles ] What’s going on between you and dex? Not much. Have y’all spoke since you broke up? No. I mean, he’s called me a few times. I just am not ready to talk to him. Well, what about me? I still don’t know what happened. And — although I have the impression that it has something to do with dex working for sonny. Yes, it does. And that’s all I can say about it without compromising him. Then you must still care for him. Of course I do. I mean, I — I think I always will. But I also just kind of feel like I never really knew him, you know? I’m sorry, joss. That’s a horrible feeling. Yeah. Well, anyway, I’m fine. Okay? So I love you for showing up here, but you don’t need to stay. Well, I have nothing better to do. I live at home and I am not in school, so. You have the gallery. Yeah, but not today. So I don’t mind staying a little longer and hanging out. Right? It might be fine. Uh, on second thought, I think you should spend some time alone, so…

Thanks for the talk. I’ll call you later. Good luck. Thank you so much. Okay. Bye. Hi. Hi. What are you doing here? I, uh — I had an appointment. Really? In the hall of justice complex? With whom? Did you get my messages? Nice dodge. Yeah, I got them. I didn’t like how we left things. Speaking of leaving, I thought you left town? Thought or hoped? I’m really sorry I let you down, joss. Why are you still here? In port charles? I, um…think I was just given a reason to stay. I know better than to issue you an order. And I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to imply that you are putting the baby at risk. I know you never would. Just like you know that I would never let my personal feelings influence my work.

[ Chuckles ] Well played, sister. Now, if you don’t mind, there’s still a little bit of time left, and I would like to use it to prepare my argument against releasing jason on bail. Not because of anything you said, but because it is my civic duty. You know that it’s jason morgan’s arraignment today. I thought you said this wasn’t going to take up much of my time.

[ Stammers ] It won’T. Normally, it would be up to me to argue against bail. But in this particular case, I thought I’d let, um, molly lansing-davis do it. So you don’t look like the bad guy in robin’s eyes. You are going to let your ada do your dirty work because you’re scared of your daughter. That’s it in a nutshell. Yeah. I envy you. You do? I don’t have the luxury of not investigating jason. Sadly, that is not an option for me. But it is an option for you and I wholly support you taking it. It doesn’t bother you that I’m a coward for ducking out on the arraignment? I think you’re a wonderful coward — I mean father. Is, uh… is monica sick, or is she hurt? Brook lynn: Both. Both? But she’s okay. You know how that driveway is. It always gets so icy. Monica took a pretty bad fall right before christmas. She’s been in a wheelchair ever since, but she still insisted on going to work. Yeah, it sounds like her. Yeah. And she picked up a bug at the hospital. Nothing serious, but the, um — the doctors don’t want her to push herself, or she would be at the arraignment.

[ Inhales, exhales deeply ] Five minutes, then I really need to get the prisoner downstairs. Thanks, tony.

[ Door closes ] Good luck at the arraignment, jason. Brook lynn.

[ Sighs ] Can you tell her, um, I love her and I’m sorry? You got it.

[ Door closes ] Hey. Found this in the freezer. Put that…right there. Thanks. You’re welcome. How’s dante? No change. D-do you think…

[ Sighs ] What? What is it? Say something. Nothing. No, it’s obviously something. Talk to me. Dante knows I love him, right? Yes, of course he does. That I really appreciate him and that I see everything he does for me? Yeah. Why would you think he wouldn’t? I don’t know. Just — just making sure. Danny, I’m so sorry. For what? Your father coming home and being alive should be the most wonderful, amazing experience, not…this. I don’t — I don’t know if I’ve changed or jason’s changed or I’ve — I’ve never been able to see him clearly, but it’s just become obvious to me that we cannot rely on him to protect you and have your best interests at heart. And I just want you to know that I am your mother and I will do everything in my power to keep you safe. I love you so much, danny. I love you, too. And we are going to get through this together because we have each other. And you’re never going to have to see your dad again, okay?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Our kristina. Hi. Hi. Is there any news on dante? No, not yet, not that I know of. Okay, well, I mean, I guess that’s kind of good, right? He’s still fighting and everything. Yeah, you bet he is. Yeah. I don’t know why they’re wasting their time with this hearing. I know. I mean, they should be going after whoever actually shot dante. Uh… well, I-I think they already found him. How’d I know you’d be here early for jason’s arraignment? Oh, god. I tried to get in to see him last night, but they wouldn’t allow any visitors. Have you heard from diane? Do you know if he’s doing okay? I’m sure — I’m sure he’s okay. He’s recovering from a gunshot wound, michael. You know jason. He’s not gonna speak up if he needs something. Okay, alright, mom, mom, breathe. I’m breathing. It’s going to be okay. Diane is gonna get jason out on bail. Well, that’s certainly the plan. Thank you so much for being here. Oh, carly, I’m not doing this out of the goodness of my heart. I mean, jason’s just another client. It’s just a job. That’s your story? And I’m sticking to it. Michael. Diane. Mm-hmm. Any sign of sonny? No, not yet. “Angelo took a deep breath, let it out, and cast his line into the stream. Just as the lure hit the water, it hit him. He caught the wrong man.”

[ Monitor beeping, ventilator hissing ] Dante, I’m gonna need you to wake up soon because I’m losing my voice. Okay, then. Next chapter.

[ Knock on door ] Hi. Did you want to speak with me? Yeah. Do you mind if we step outside? Yeah, sure. What can I do for you? I was just notified that the hospital wants to move dante to turning woods. And you are the c-chief of staff. I need you to stop that from happening.

[ Door slams ] How are things with dante? Uh…no change. You’re pushing yourself too hard. Is there anything I can do for you before you head back out? You kicking me out of my own house? I just thought you’d be going to the courthouse for jason’s arraignment.

Unless, of course, there’s been a mistake and you don’t think that dante needs to be transferred. Well, I’m gonna have to look into this. I personally am not aware of any transfer. But now that dante appears to be stabilized, it might be in his best interest to be transferred to a facility with better equipment to care for him. Because the doctors don’t think there’s anything more they can do for him here. Because the icu doesn’t offer the appropriate care. But you think the doctors are right and there is no hope? No, no, no, I’m not saying that. And I certainly don’t believe that, not at all. But you are backing the transfer. What I’m gonna do is I’m gonna look into it for you. Because I have to wonder that if it had been curtis who had been slow to wake up after he was shot, would you be okay with the hospital transferring him? Well, I do understand exactly what you’re going through, and I’m gonna do my best to get you some answers.

[ Monitor beeping, ventilator hissing ] Okay. It’s okay. It’s okay. Just a little hiccup. You’re not going anywhere. You don’t actually believe that jason is guilty. Uh, you’re saying I can’t believe that jason would shoot the cop who was following him? Jason would never shoot dante. That’s not what the evidence is pointing to. Evidence is not proof. It’s pointing pretty hard, joss. Where are you getting this information? From molly. And she knows this case better than anyone. Molly is prosecuting jason? That’s not a conflict of interest? Oh, so now you’re — you’re questioning my sister’s ability to maintain her professional objectivity? No, but I think that if molly stays objective, then despite this so-called evidence, it’ll be pretty clear that no one actually knows what happened. Well, that’s what a trial’s for. Why should jason have to stand trial for something he didn’t do? How’s it going? Little nervous. Honey, it’s just an arraignment. You can handle it. Although I am a little annoyed that robert left you with his dirty work. Adas have to take the cases we’re offered. All I can do now is make my case and let the judge decide if he wants to let jason walk free or keep him behind bars. Carly: Hey. Hi. Hey. Olivia, how’s dante? No change. Sorry to hear that. At least it means he’s — he’s stable, though, right? Dante’s lucky to be alive. Armor-piercing bullets are terrible things. It’s a good thing jason managed to keep him alive until help arrived. You know, maybe jason wouldn’t have had to keep him alive if he hadn’t shot him in the first place. Okay. Alright. Emotions are running high. This is not the time. This is not the place. I did not mean to upset you, olivia. Okay, why don’t we just go find a seat, alright? I think that’s a good idea. And you two, you need to open your eyes. Look, mom, she’s just upset about dante. Yeah, that’s because olivia only knows one side of things. No one’s heard jason’s side yet. Michael. You are unbelievable. You want jason to be innocent, so he is? Never mind the evidence, never mind the fact that dante might die, or the fact that sam and my father both know he’s guilty. Oh, they know that? They told you? Sam and my dad aren’t here today. Why do you think that is? Because they know he did this. They know he’s guilty. They don’t want to see him, let alone hear — hear diane make some convoluted argument about why he’s not. Mm. Now I get it. Sonny thinks jason is guilty. And in your brain, sonny can do no wrong. Wake up, kristina. Your father is wrong about everything. You know, I’m really — hey, d-do you guys want to go in? It should be starting soon. Yeah, yeah. That is — that’s a great idea. I have to find my mom. I’m sorry. I — this is the last thing you needed was to hear us screaming about jason. I’m more worried about you getting removed from the courthouse. Oh, yeah, what a shame that would be. People are gonna feel how they feel. Josslyn isn’t the enemy. People are gonna have to choose sides. I’m not going to the arraignment. Clearly this is tearing you up. Have you seen jason? Do you know how many hours I’ve spent at dante’s hospital bed listening to those machines that are trying to keep him alive, willing my son to open his eyes? Last thing I want to do is see the man who put him there. There could be another explanation. We saw jason’s surveillance picture. Jason was at selina wu’s warehouse. Dante followed him and some other guy to the pier. Even if he didn’t pull the trigger, he was involved with these guys who want me dead. I know. I know it looks bad. But if jason shot dante, if he wanted to shoot dante, why did he help him? Why not leave him for dead? Why would I know anything about what jason wants anymore or knows? I’m not saying that you don’t have a reason to doubt jason. I mean, there are a lot of questions. Why was he there? Why did he help dante? Why did jason let everybody believe that he was dead all this time? I can’t answer that, ava. All I care about is whether my son is gonna make it. I’m so sorry, sonny. I know how much jason’s betrayal hurts you.

[ Voice breaking ] You know what hurts the most is knowing that my choices put… my son in the hospital.

Sonny, what could youpossibly have done to cause — it’s my business, my — my decisions. That’s why dante got caught in the line of fire. Dante is a police officer. He puts himself in the line of fire. Well, he’s a cop, and I am what I am. And there has always been a wall between us, the personal side and, you know, what we do. Well , I think that wallis a — is a gift that you give one another so that despite your work, you can be father and son, you can have a relationship that’s meaningful. Yeah, we — we — we’ve formed a bond over the last couple of years. You know, that’s because of… the compromises that dante has made. Has he ever found evidence against you and looked the other way? Only in the beginning, when I… when I shot him. I-I didn’t know he was my son, and he lied to cover for me. Well, si nce I’ve known you,it’s been very obvious that the two of you love each other very much. Well, that’s because of him. ‘Cause he — you know, he always gives me another chance. Even when I got together with nina. My son’s a good man. Better than I’ll ever be. Uh, excuse me. May I come in? Yes, of course.

[ Door closes ]

[ Monitor beeping, ventilator hissing ] I’m sorry. I’m not quite sure what I should call you. Because you’re not sure if I’m here as family or if I’m representing the hospital? Yeah, maybe a little bit of both. I mean, I’m just realizing that curtis is one of my closest friends, and tj is essentially my brother-in-law. But you and I, we — we really don’t know each other. Well, how about we start? Call me stella. Stella, I’m sam. Good to meet you. Dante’s looking better. I know. That’s what I’ve been saying.

[ Sighs ] I…should probably apologize to portia. I’m sure that is not necessary. But on behalf of the hospital, allow me to apologize. You shouldn’t have been blindsided with this decision. You know, I’ve been in this town a long time, and I know this hospital really well. I’ve been a patient here. I’ve lost loved ones here. I even almost married a doctor here. Oh, sounds like a story. Yeah, maybe I’ll tell it to you sometime. But one thing I never thought I would see this hospital do is give up on a patient. What aren’t you telling me? Not here. You tell me after. Josslyn: Hi. Hey. Hey. I’m so sorry that I was almost late. I was here an hour early. I had a very interesting conversation with kristina. That’s okay. Hello, carly. How’s dante? As far as I know, there’s been no change. But if you came here hoping to run into sonny, there’s been no sign of him. Well, sonny is still my husband, and I care about him and his family. Really? Have you asked how they feel about you? Believe it or not, carly, I came here — one of the reasons why I came here was to thank you. For what? Well, I’m back at crimson. You probably already know that. And whatever you said to drew really helped him see the light. And fortunately, there’s nothing that you did in your brief tenure at crimson that can’t be undone. Let me be really clear. I don’t give a damn about that magazine right now. What’s going on with you and carly? Nothing. Really looked like something. We broke up. So nothing. What are you talking about? When? When jason came back to town and I realized that he would always be first with her. Bailiff: Court is about to convene. Everybody, please find your seats.

[ Handcuffs clicking ]

No one is giving up on dante. Palliative care? That’s what they give people who are dying. It’s what they give people who need to be made more comfortable. While they’re dying. And while they’re recovering, which is where dante is. He’s out of danger, and he’s getting stronger. But it may be a while before he wakes up. Thanks for not sugarcoating it. I don’t sugarcoat. Now, as for turning woods…? When I hear turning woods, I just think of dante’s grandfather, mike, him losing himself there and then finally letting go of everything. Mike was very dear to me. We became very close. But when he passed, it was after a long, long fight, and it was on his terms. He knew it was time for him to leave. It’s not dante’s time. Exactly. Anyone could see that dante’s a fighter. He came this far. But for him to go all the way, he needs to be in a place that can give him the tools and the comfort to win this battle.

[ Voice breaking ] Turning woods. They provide excellent care and a more home-like environment. I mean, look around, sam. Yeah, I know. There’s no place like home. There sure isn’T. And I understand how difficult it is when…a loved one is stuck in limbo the way dante is. It can wear you down. Yeah. When was the last time you had a good night’s sleep? Me? Oh. Uh, just, uh, I don’t know. It’s been a — it’s been a while. I mean, I get an hour here and an hour there, but before you tell me to go home — I wasn’t going to. Really? You wouldn’t, so what would be the point? I just — I can’t leave dante. I mean, I sleep when I-I sleep, but nurses are always coming in to check his vitals, which is good. Mm-hmm. I mean, it’s great that they’re on top of things, but — hospitals are not very restful. No. And I-I see what you just did there. And I hear what you’re saying about turning woods. But you’re not convinced?

[ Sighs ] Sending dante there… is like admitting defeat, giving in to the idea that he might not ever wake up. But once he’s there, he might wake up sooner. Okay, maybe. But that’s — that’s not it. Dante’s son rocco — his mother, lulu, is in a long-term care facility, and if dante winds up in one, rocco’s gonna think that he’s lost his father, too. And I’m not gonna put him through that. Like you, dante’s a good father. And a father should never lose hope in his child. Or am I wrong about that? Have you lost hope in your son? You know the answer to that. You’re damn right I do. You have to believe it. You have to believe it in your heart that you and dante have plenty of time left together. There’s time to disappoint him. Time to disappoint each other. He would never disappoint me.

[ Chuckles ] Tell me that the next time he slaps cuffs on you. That would be my brightest moment.

[ Chuckles ] Liar. You know, um… …I’m glad that you’re here. I’m glad that you can help me and talk to me and — who would have guessed? Sometimes people aren’twho we think they are. Sometimes they are not. At this time, the defendant, jason morgan, is charged with two counts of attempted murder in the first degree, as well as conspiracy to commit murder. Further charges pending, your honor. Will the defendant please rise? Mr. Morgan, how do you plead to the charges of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder? Not guilty.

What’s this? That is avery’s get-well card for dante. Avery loves her big brother.

[ Chuckles ] She sure does. He makes such a fuss over her, and she loves every minute of it. I remember when — when dante went to avery’s class on career day. You know, she always brags about her big brother. Naturally. So this little — little boy went up to her and says, “h-he don’t — he don’t look like your — your brother ’cause he’s too old.”

[ Laughs ] So avery’s feelings are hurt. So she wanted to call dante, and the teacher called the pcpd. So he came back to class, and the teachers told him what happened. So dante gets in front of the whole class. And he says, “avery…” “…is your dad my dad?” And she said, “yeah, dante.” And then he said… …”that’s because you’re my sister.” So… he had them high-five and he left the class. Dante to the rescue. I just hope that avery gets to have more days

[Voice breaking] With her big brother, you know? He’s very handsome, isn’t he? Oh, you should see him when he’s conscious and not pale. He’s a good guy. Totally not my type. Have a thing for the bad boys?

[ Laughs ] Yeah, I think you can say that. The more dangerous they are, the harder I fall. And dante isn’t dangerous? See, that’s the thing. I think he may be the most dangerous man I ever loved

because he’s a good guy. He’s got a sense of right and wrong and justice. That’s not to say that he can’t be a total wiseass about it. There was this one time that we were both after, uh, jason and britt westbourne. Not together, but I needed to get to them first. And what did you do? What any good woman would do. I slashed his tires. And this is where your great romance began? No. Well, anyway, he — he showed up at my place with slashed tire in hand, and he — what did you do? Uh, he — he demanded reimbursement. So I was very old-school about it, and I wrote him a check. Oh, that is old-school. Which he tore up. Oh. Sounds like a good man. He’s the best. And he knows it. Judge: The defendant has entered a plea of not guilty. Where do the people stand on bail? The people ask that the defendant be held without bail. Mr. Morgan is a textbook flight risk. Your honor, if I may…? Ms. Miller, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you, your honor. If the defendant had wanted to fly, believe me, he would have flown already. Instead, he turned himself in. Mr. Morgan is eager for his day in court to prove his innocence. After disappearing for years, allowing his loved ones to believe he was dead, and only resurfacing in a shooting that left a member of local law enforcement in mortal peril — if esteemed counsel will allow me to finish. I apologize. I thought you finished. No. Mr. Morgan has deep ties to this community, your honor. He is the son of the late alan quartermaine and dr. Monica quartermaine. It is worth noting that mr. Morgan’s rap sheet is longer than a cvs receipt. Your honor, since this discussion is about bail as it pertains to the current charges against my client, not his long, long list of acquittals and dismissals, we ask that mr. Morgan be released on his own recognizance. It is also worth noting the brutality of the crimes involved. There is video evidence placing mr. Morgan at the warehouse where an attempt was made on the life of sonny corinthos, mr. Morgan’s former business partner, and dna evidence places mr. Morgan on the pier where detective falconeri was shot using armor-piercing bullets. Said evidence also places the defendant in direct contact with the victim. This dna evidence could only exist if the item in question had been used to staunch detective falconeri’s bleeding. The defendant fled and evaded capture for days. These are the actions of a guilty man. Right, because only guilty individuals want to avoid incarceration. Your honor, may I remind the court of the pcpd’s long history of demonstrated bias against my client? Oh, I wonder why. Thank you both. Indeed, I am familiar with the pcpd’s history with mr. Morgan and mr. Morgan’s history with the law. And I’m ready to make my ruling. Bail is set at $5 million.

[ Gavel bangs ] Court is in recess. Bailiff: All rise. Well, I hope you brought your checkbook. Would never come to court without it. Can you just give me a minute?

[ Monitor beeping, ventilator hissing ] Stella? Yes. Thank you. Oh. Of course. And I understand your reservations about turning woods. But that’s where dante can get the best care and have the best chance of recovery. Um… I know I hear what you’re saying about turning woods. I just don’t think that I can — and I will talk to rocco if you’d like for me to and make sure that he knows that there is still hope. You would do that for me? Of course. And as someone who has worked in this environment five days a week, hospitals might be a good place to get well, but they’re an even better place to get sick. Okay, I’ll talk to sonny and olivia… mm-hmm. …About turning woods. It really is the best choice, because no one is giving up on dante. I will get the ball rolling on jason’s bail. So when they are ready for you… I’ll be here. Okay. Oh, my gosh, I’m so happy that jason doesn’t have to wait behind bars until the trial. Yeah, jason hates being locked up… but that didn’t stop him from getting himself sent to pentonville when I needed him. Of course he did. He shows up for the people he loves. Unlike sonny. I really thought that he’d be at the hearing. I’m glad he didn’t show. Jason’s better off. Oh? Why is that? Sonny doesn’t deserve jason’s loyalty. He never has. Molls, you were a stone pro. Never flinched, never wavered. Excuse me one second, guys. I’ll be right back. What’s up? I have some good news for you. Okay, about? I just thought you should know nina is back at crimson. Define “back.” Well, she’s back. She’s editor in chief once again. But is she still my publisher? Technically, yes. But between running the metro court with me… and running crimson… and she won’t be able to torment me anymore? Yeah, pretty much. Ah, welcome news indeed. Congratulations. Thank you. And welcome back. To what? The support group of people forced to work with nina on a professional basis. Hmm. This group got a name? Uh, you know, I was thinking “oh, no, not nina, anonymous.” There’s a ring to that. Yeah. Mm. I’m so proud of you. Thank you. So, ada lansing-davis. Hey. Any notes? Kristina was being so effusive, I didn’t want to interrupt, but, yeah, I have a few. Hit me. You presented the facts of the case not only with accuracy, but you effectively landed the argument, and you did it with flair, and the judge was impressed. Still granted bail. Okay, $5 million. But considering the case, the evidence, and diane, it’s a victory. So take the win, kid. Well, when you put it like that…

[ Chuckles ] Mom, were you ever maybe not glad but not terribly disappointed when you lost a motion? Of course. Why? Because — I don’t know. Between you and me, I-I think jason is innocent. Okay, so you kept your personal opinions to yourself and you followed the law, which, by the way, is what you’re supposed to do. Yeah. Thank you. Waiting for my father? Guess it’s pointless to deny it. Yeah. I’m sure you have thoughts about that. I do…yeah. But I know things between you and my dad are… bad would be an understatement. But for what it’s worth, I saw how happy you both were together, and I hope you guys work it out. Thank you, kristina. Can’t tell you how much that means to me. Yeah, I just want him to be happy. Yeah, believe it or not, so do I. I’m really surprised that he’s not here. Yeah, his absence speaks volumes. Do you think he’s lost faith in jason? Whatever he’s thinking or feeling right now, I know he must feel very alone. And I’m not saying it’s a good time to reach out to him, but I’m also not saying it isn’T. I want you to know, kristina, I’m committed to my marriage. I got that feeling. I’m gonn a prove to sonnythat we belong together. Is there anything I can do to make things easier? No, you’re already doing it. Thank you.

[ Knock on door ] Stay right there. I’ll get rid of whoever that is. I need to talk to sonny. You know, carly, it’s really not a good time. I don’t give a damn. Where were you? With my son. Where else would I be, carly? I just came from jason’s arraignment, sonny. Did they charge him for shooting dante? He didn’t do it! How am I supposed to know that jason is not the reason that dante might die?

[ Monitor beeping, ventilator hissing ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Cup clatters ] Dante. Dante. Hey, you moved. Dante! You moved. You dropped my water on the floor. Baby, look at me. Open your eyes. You’re coming back to me. So I told kristina that I didn’t mean to imply that she wasn’t doing what was best for the baby any more than she meant to imply that I would let my personal feelings influence me professionally, which is kind of what we were both doing. So here we are. You know your sister believes in you. I do. She was here for me today, even though she still treats me like I am a teenager writing romance novels. Well, romance novel. A best-selling romance novel. If only I could convince her that I am actually an assistant district attorney. Hmm. About that… you know, I-I think it’s really difficult for a lot of people to understand why lawyers are so committed to the law. I think it’s difficult for us to understand that, right, since every rule has an exception and every law has a loophole. Can be wildly unfair, right? And when you bring politicians and power brokers into it, makes it even worse, not to mention the people that we help, that we prosecute. One would think that lady justice is not only blind, but she has left the building entirely. She hasn’T. And despite all of the system’s vast imperfections, it’s people like you who make sure that the law is followed and that justice is tempered with fairness and mercy. And as much as I think you won’t believe this right now, when the system does work… it’s because of lawyers like you. Wow. That was exactly what I needed to hear. I try. And I hope you do get your law license back. When you were disbarred, everybody lost. Well, I did kind of bring it on myself with that whole perjury thing. Yeah, well, stack that against all the people you helped, brought justice for, and all the people you could have helped. Talk about an unfair system.

[ Chuckles ] How can you think that jason would ever shoot dante? What’s going on with jason? What is — has he said anything to you? No, no, I-I went to the police station, but they wouldn’t let me see him. But you and anna are friends. She would have made an exception for you had you bothered to show up! I was with my son, who’s dying! Who’s only alive because of jason! No, he got shot because of jason! Jason would not have stayed away this long and then come back and tried to kill me. Sonny, you’re jumping to conclusions. The truth is, you don’t know why jason came back. And you don’t know why he was in that warehouse. But you do know that he has saved your life so many times. You owe jason the chance to explain. I don’t owe jason nothing.

[ Scoffs ] Michael: Alright, bail is posted. We’re good to go. Thank you. I’m sure you don’t need to hear the caveat about not leaving town. I would never do that to michael. Just a small piece of advice. Uh, might behoove you to keep a low profile for a while. Yeah, no crashing through skylights. Please don’t make me prepare a second defense, ’cause I’m gonna be real busy with this one. I promise. Good. Thank you. Thank you. Alright. Come on, let’s go home. Sorry, michael. I can’t go home yet.

On the next “General Hospital” —
