THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Here you are! I’ve been looking all over for you. It’s almost like you’re avoiding me. No. No, no, no. Why would I avoid you? Look, I understand the situation. Now, in front of olivia, who happens to be one of my best friends in the whole world, you have to pretend so you could spare her feelings. Pretend? Well, w-what do you mean? Eddie! We’re alone now, right? I mean, come on. When you first walked in and you saw me, the look on your face was undeniable. You may not remember olivia, but you remember me. Well, as I said, you look very familiar. Mm-hmm, which is exactly what you need to say in front of the family you forgot. There’s no way you can forget all the times we had. Young lois:

Face it, eddie. I am relentless in my pursuit of excellence. I’m not a singer. I’m a salesman. Come on.

[ Chanting softly ] Eddie. Eddie. Eddie.

[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah! You were amazing! Eddie, eddie, eddie! You took my breath away! Come here, you little miracle worker! Oh! Eddie!

[ Laughs ] I will remember this night for the rest of my life. I won’t forget it, either. You know, we seem to have a little time on our hands. Any suggestions on, uh, how to fill it? I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I sure do love you. And I would be so honored if you’d be my wife. Okay! Lois: Edward lawrence ashton is the biggest liar on the face of the earth! Mr. Ned ashton is none other than mr. Eddie maine! Not a word! Not another word from your lying mouth! Not ever again! I love you. I don’t know who you are. I don’t even think

you know who you are. I’m ned ashton, who fell in love with a woman who changed my life, who made me love her and need her in a way that I have never loved or needed anyone.

[ Shrieks ] I can’t do this anymore. You and I are from two completely different worlds. We have to start thinking about what’s best for the baby. That’s what really matters. I love you, ned. Ned: But you’re still leaving me. Some people never find it, you know, loves of their life. But I owned it — for a while anyway. Forever. Lois: Come on. Our wedding… coney island… I can see it in your eyes. You remember me. That’s not what you’re seeing in my eyes. Look — you look familiar, but I really don’t remember you or our wedding. I mean, I was married to olivia, and I don’t remember her. I’ve got this great daughter and I don’t remember her, either. Finn, where are you? It’s backgammon night. You’re late. No. He’s not. Finn’s not coming. You came all this way to tell me that? No. I came to settle a score. And, pilar, will you just wait right here with avery? Yeah. Of course. Hi. May I please speak to detective falconeri? It’s a matter of life and death. Dex! Did you find ava?

[ Monitor beeping ] Drew: Hey. Hi. Hi. Hm. Mmm… how are you feeling? Better now that you’re here. Okay. What did the doctors say? They said that I am recovered enough to go back to prison. Cyrus: Dr. Gatlin-holt. What are you doing here? Well, I’m happy to see you again, too. You know, we have some unfinished business. Yeah, ma, that’s great lois is back in town. I will — when I get a chance. Yeah. Okay. But I got to go. Because I’m at work, ma. Okay. Love you. Bye.

[ Knock on door ] Yeah? Sorry to bother you, detective, but she said it was urgent. It is. Yeah. What is it, joss? Ava’s in trouble. Dex! Anything?! Damn. No. There’s no one here. Basement is empty. No sign of ava.

[ Engine shuts off ] You don’t have to do this, mason. Oh, but I do, ava.


Uh, ava didn’tpick up avery? No. And pilar hasn’t been in contact with ava. Does sonny know? No. Pilar knew that he was marrying nina in puerto rico. She didn’t want to contact my mom ’cause she’s dealing with drew in the hospital. I went to wyndemere. I talked to ava’s butler. He hasn’t seen her since the night before last. But yesterday morning, he — he found a broken martini glass on the living-room floor. I found ava’s cellphone. And this. This isn’t avery’S. She hates grape. I asked her. It’s not hers. So you think whoever dropped that was with ava? Dex: You’re certain this is the final location with ties to pautuck trucking? Yes. Affirmative. And you’ve already searched the other seven. It’s a reasonable assumption, given his connection to the trucking company,

that he would have

taken ms. Jerome to one of these locations. Okay. Did you check to see if mason gatlin has any properties only in his name? I went through all the financials available on mr. Gatlin, including purchase histories, credit cards, known addresses. Everything points to him only using these properties. Spinelli, this may be nothing, but… ava was here. You’re certain? Yeah. Yeah. Uh, maybe gatlin was alerted when I checked the other locations and he decided to move her. Seems like a logical conclusion.

I need you to check

every traffic camera in pautuck and on the surrounding highways. Already under way.

Okay. If mason is

still in the same vehicle, we may get lucky. I know this wasn’t your idea, mason. Why? I’m so dumb, I can’t have one? No. No. Because…I don’t think you’d hurt me. I don’t think you’d hurt anybody. I just — I think you’re following orders. And I understand that whoever you’re working for must be very powerful. But this is one order that I think that you should disobey. ‘Cause if you go through with this and sonny finds out that you were behind my disappearance — and believe me, he will find out — then you’re gonna be the one who pays. I think you know what that means. Mason. Really, your only chance is to let me go. You think so? Yeah. I’ll cover for you. You’d do that for me? You’d cover for me with sonny? Yeah! Yeah. Of course. Of course I would. I’ll make up some excuse for why I — for why I was gone. And sonny will buy it. He will. I-I’ve gotten things over on him in the past, you know. Well, that’s a really good offer. Except for that you already told me he’d figure out anything I did because he’s so damn smart. But you want me to believe

you’ve fooled him?

[ Chuckles ] I can do it. I can. And, you know, right now I haven’t been gone long enough for him to even be suspicious! But if I’m gone for much longer or if — if something should happen to me, sonny will find out what you did. But if you bring me home right now… I’ll protect you.

[ Chuckles ] Ava, you’re full of it. I’m not gonna let you go. We’re gonna sit here, quietly… and wait for my orders. Austin: What do you want? I want to thank you for testifying on my behalf at the hearing. As you can see, with your critical input, the judge determined I wasn’t medically fit to stay in pentonville and finish my sentence. Right. Because you’re such a “feeble” man. You know, complete freedom miraculously invigorates a man. Well, you are a master of miracles. So why don’t you pull another one out of your hat and let ava go? When did you become so cynical? We had a deal — I would testify on your behalf, and if you were released, then you would release ava. So here you are. Now you live up to your end of the bargain and tell mason to let ava go. When? When do they want you going back to pentonville? I’m not exactly sure. Okay, well, that’s wrong. Your doctor’s being overly optimistic about your condition. Carly… I mean, I’m gonna talk to him, and I’m gonna make him understand that it’s way too soon to send you back to pentonville. No, I don’t want you to ask the doctor to lie or exaggerate to keep me here longer, carly. He saved my life. He did his job. Saving your life could be a waste of time. Because if he sends you back to pentonville, the people who almost killed you are gonna try and finish the job! Hey, you two. Eddie, ma, I wanted to introduce you to chase. Oh! It’s very nice to meet you, ms. Cerullo. Oh! Well, aren’t you as gorgeous as everyone says! And please do not call me ms. Cerullo. Please call me lois. Thank you, lois. You know, I was practically a baby when I had her. Ma! What? I’m just being honest with the man who’s making our daughter so happy. I mean, you weren’t lying to me when you told me that, right? Of course not. Chase is the best. Aww. And that’s exactly what our daughter deserves. Isn’t that right, ned? Eddie. -What? -Pay attention. Seeing these two together, it feels so right. Right? A-and, chase, you should feel honored because my daughter doesn’t settle for anyone. Ma! What?! I’m just saying! You always go where your heart leads you, and your heart led you to chase. Was it your heart that led you to me, lois? Alright. Let me have it. Thank you. What? Thank you. You did something that had to be done. I kept putting it off, and I shouldn’t have. You’re not angry? Damn straight I’m angry — at you, at myself for not telling chase, at my diagnosis. But if my illness has taught me anything, it’s that… anger is a waste of time.

[ Laughs ]


What the hell’s so funny? I’m sorry. I’m not laughing at you. I’m laughing at myself. I was so convinced that you were gonna be furious with me for telling chase about your als, for which I am so sorry. But instead, here you are waxing philosophical about anger and time. I was hardly “waxing.” But I do understand the irony, even if I fail to see the humor. Well, I guess I-I find it funny that you think that anger’s a waste of time. It is. Well, for me, I find anger a powerful motivator. In fact, I consider my ability to channel anger into action an asset. Figures you would. We kind of had a complicated romantic history. That would have been good for you to forget. I’d still like to hear it. Nah. Nah. Some other time. You know, chase and his better half don’t want to sit here listening to me yammer on about our past.

I’d like to hear it. Brook lynn and lois: Really? Absolutely. Alright. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Come on. Uh, okay. Well…

[ Clears throat ] I guess it all started when my heart led me to a man who didn’t exist. Carly. I’m gonna be fine. Don’t worry. How can you ask me not to worry about you? Well, I’m in pentonville because of my own actions, my own decisions. You’re being your usual noble self, and I love it. It’s something I absolutely love about you. But it doesn’t cost that doctor a damn thing to keep you here, to keep you safe! Hell, he’s not risking his medical license. He’s protecting your life, the life that he saved. And I love you for trying to rationalize it, I really do, but you got to let me deal with my own situation. It’s not your own situation. It’s my situation, too. You don’t have to take orders from anybody. Oh, god. Will you shut up?! I know exactly who you think I am. I’ve known ever since that fancy quartermaine barbecue. Yeah, you walked in and you saw me threatening austin… and you saw the knife in my hand. Turned you on a little. I could see that in your eyes. Then you heard me talk… saw a little dirt under my fingernails and said to yourself, “hey. He’s white trash.” I wasn’t worth your breath. It wasn’t until you found out that I knew you murdered your rich husband… that I even got your attention. And then I could see how phony it was. But, hey, my smart-ass cousin,

he got your attention. Yeah, ’cause he’s a high and mighty doctor. So you just jumped right in the sack with him. Betcha that was disappointing, huh? You could’ve had your chance to be with me, a real man. But you missed it. And now you’re never gonna get that chance again. So you’re gonna sit there and you’re gonna shut up! Giving you a seat right here in the important person’s chair. Do you know where mommy is? Uh, you know, that’s what we’re gonna figure out, okay? I know it’s late, but I want you to stay here with your sister and pilar, okay? Okay. Alright. Cool? Thank you. Yeah. Of course. Hey. Uh… whatever they need. Okay? You got it. Thank you. As I said, I am grateful for your help, doctor. And I trust, with the lord’s guidance, everyone will be safe. Stop. Cyrus, stop. I promise you — ava’s not a threat to you. She has no idea that mason and I work for you.

[ Device beeping ] Sounds as if your patients need you. Godspeed. Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ] Yeah. Do you have the passenger? I do. Take her home. Hey. Wait. I don’t think that’s — the situation has been resolved to my satisfaction. Take. Her. Home.


S young. Practically a baby, like I told you earlier. And I was naive. I became completely infatuated with eddie maine, who I thought was living a double life. Pharmaceutical salesman by day, rocker by night. That’s quite a combination. Tell me about it! Little did I know, he was actually ned ashton, who was planning on marrying another woman at that time. And get this — he actually married that woman while he was married to me. Olivia? No, no. Not vivi. That came later. You could sell this story to “20/20.” I tried! They didn’t believe me. Right? Hold on. Eddie…is any of this ringing a bell? ‘Cause I swear it’s the god’s honest truth. No. No. And just so you know, I am not living a double life now. I am myself — eddie maine, musician. And, lois, look. If what you’re saying really happened — whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you calling me a liar? No. I just want to apologize on behalf of the man I was back then… and for the way I treated you. So, how is chase handling it? Wait a minute. How are you? Here. Sit. Ah. Well, I’M… getting weaker. My hands are cramping and twitching a lot more. I drop things. I really miss being able to drive myself, but I had to give that up a while back so I wouldn’t pose a danger to anyone else. And I’m probably gonna have to start using a cane sometime soon ’cause my balance is going in and out. Otherwise, I’m great. How about you? How about a drink? Sounds good. Scotch okay? Perfect. I am… very relieved you came by.

[ Chuckling ] You are? Yes. You know how it is when you’ve made a mistake and you dread the consequences? Yeah. That’s how I felt with chase. No, no, no, no, no. You may not have handled the situation perfectly, not telling chase when you told finn, but there were mitigating circumstances. I, on the other hand, shoved my foot right in my mouth and blurted something that was not mine to say. Clearly there was no malice intended.

[ Glasses clink ] Clearly. ‘Cause if there is, you’d know it.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sure. Why did finn bail on me, by the way? Violet has a cold. Mm. I’m sorry to hear that. You know, I could fill in for finn. Oh. That’s nice. Thank you. But finn understands my — uh, my competitive nature. You? Competitive? Shocking, I know. Who do you think taught finn everything he knows about backgammon? Hmm. In that case… let’s roll. I’m the one who acted on inside information. It’s my fault that you’re in this situation. Carly, we have been over this. You got to stop blaming yourself. Believe me, I would love to blame someone else. We don’t have that much time left. Let’s not go over this. I know that you didn’t mean any of this to happen. But it happened! A-and you almost died because those inmates attacked you, and now they want to send you right back to them! Okay. [ Grunts ] It’s not the doctor’s fault that I’m in prison. Whoever turned us in to the sec knew that the feds would twist what we did and make us look guilty. But not “us.” It’s you. You’re the one taking the fall. My choice.

[ Knock on door ][ Door opens ] What the hell? Hey, josslyn, I’m gonna call my mother just to let her know where I am. Oh, yeah. Of course. We’ll be fine. Okay. Hey, you. So…I heard your dad and nina got married. Yeah. On daddy’s island. Bet it was beautiful. Yeah. Donna got to go, but I didn’T. You know, your dad really wanted you to be there, and he was super disappointed about how things worked out. But I think when he and nina get back, they’re gonna arrange to take you somewhere super special. You think?! I’ll make sure of it? Come here. I hope mommy can go, too. Who was that on the phone?

[ Engine starts ] Wha– hey. Where — where are we going, mason? What are you gonna do?! To hell with the boss’s orders. Thank god.

[ Engine shuts off ] What are you doing?! Handling things my way. No. No! No! No! [ Grunts ]


[ Cellphone ringing ] Hey. What’s going on, spinelli? I was hoping you could tell me. Has dex been in touch with you? No, I thought that you were in contact with him, and he was checking out those places in pautuck. Yeah, I-I was, but now I-I’m not. I-I got a hit on mason gatlin’s vehicle out on county road 21, and I sent that information to dex. What? He’s following that maniac? Yes, and we had cell contact when he began his pursuit, but then he hit a dead zone.

[ Inhales sharply ] Sorry. Poor choice of words. Well, spinelli, you have all of that fancy equipment. Use it and find dex! I’m doing my best, but if you hear from him… I’ll let you know right away. Copy that.

[ Line ringing ] Come on, dante.

[ Mason grunts ] You singing a different tune now, ava?! No! No! Stop! Stop!

[ Vehicle door closes ] Let her go! That’s it? That’s what? What I just told you, what my eddie put me through, are just the tips of the icebergs. And, what, you think “I’m sorry” just covers that? Uh, I don’t know what else you expect me to say. My eddie maine was an alter-ego, but this eddie maine, he’s conveniently forgotten all the schemes and the schnookery that my eddie maine put me through. So I guess — I guess my question of all of this is, how many eddie maines are in there?! I know you don’t want to hear it… of course I don’t want to hear it. Because I lived it! Because even after

all of that, I ended up marrying ned ashton quartermaine. And we had a beautiful daughter and we had some great memories. We were very much in love, and we were married for some time. And then we got divorced. But this eddie maine, he’s forgotten all of the terrible things my eddie put me through. But this eddie maine has also forgotten all of the wonderful, wonderful times that we have had. And you’re a poorer man for that. And I pity you! Well, I don’t need your damn pity, lady! Because I’m very happy just the way I am!

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Chase, I apologize. I may have let that go a little too far. No. No. Uh, now I know where your daughter gets her spirit. I’m sorry. I hope I’m not interrupting. What are you doing out of prison? Oh, I remember — you like to get right to the heart of the matter, don’t you, mrs. Corinthos? It’s spencer. Of course. Uh, clearly, you and mr. Corinthos are no longer together. Answer the question. You wouldn’t be standing here having passed right by the guard if you broke out of pentonville. You’d be on your way to a country with no extradition treaty. Alas, nothing so dramatic. I was released from pentonville earlier today. On what grounds? Medical. The doctors determined that any further stay could jeopardize my health and that I don’t have the capacity to harm anyone. And you were concerned about asking the doctor to stay here longer? When some quack let this maniac out on the streets? And my first mission on said streets was to come and check on the man who saved my life. Big mistake. You know, I am so glad you’re here keeping my friend drew company, ms. Spencer, because I have long wanted to see you. Who are you? You’ll never know if you don’t drop the gun. I got a clean shot. Take the shot!

[ Ava screams ]

[ Grunting ]


I believe that’s 3-1. Best of 7? No. It’s late. I’d better be heading back. I’m tired. Coward. Absolutely. I can see by that killer look in your eye that I should quit while I’m ahead. Oh, you’re a liar. You are really good. Thank you. And thank you for the distraction and the drink. We’ll do it again. I’d like nothing more. I didn’t realize how gratifying it could be to beat tracy quartermaine at something. Well, hold on to that feeling until the next time when I wipe the floor with you.

[ Chuckles ] We’ll just have to wait and see. Let me call a ride service. No, no, no. Yuri will take you. Okay. Thank you. -Gregory. -Yeah? I… I really am sorry. No. I-I told you. I’m not upset about what happened with chase. I don’t mean that. I mean your — your diagnosis. Good night.

[ Grunting ] No! Stop!

[ Gunshots ] I have nothing to say to you. So get out. I can appreciate your antipathy, ms. Spencer. After all, there was a great deal of friction between us when your ex-husband, sonny, went missing and you and jason morgan were running the territories. What do you want, cyrus? I just want ms. Spencer to understand that any friction back then was before I found the lord.

[ Chuckling ] Are you kidding me? Look. I regret the tactics I used. But even then, there was no personal animosity, ms. Spencer. I have tons of personal animosity towards you. And I completely understand. But I just hope that at some point in the future I will have the opportunity to make amends. Don’t hold your breath. I’m sure that at least you appreciate the fact that I was able to come to the aid of mr. Cain. What is he talking about? I have no clue. Oh, I’m sorry. I-I assumed they told you I was the one who found you lying beaten in the shower. I got help for you. I was told you would have perished otherwise. So just as you saved my life, the lord gave me an opportunity to save yours. And seeing you here like this recovering so well after the way you looked after I came to your aid, it’s — it’s thanks enough. God bless you both. Oh. You’re here. I live here. Oh, I know. I know. I was just hoping maybe — ah. Never mind. What’s up? That woman is driving me crazy. Olivia? No, the other one. Ohh. You mean not your wife, olivia — your ex-wife, lois. I don’t remember either one of them. But the second one. Yeah, well, lois drives everybody a little crazy. She keeps going on and on about our past. The part where you married her or the part where you married someone else while you were married to her? I don’t need to hear this from you. You’re right. I’m sorry. Look. I — I am not a lois fan. However, you must realize how difficult this situation is for her. I do, but no one seems to understand how difficult this is for me. All I keep hearing about is what an awful guy I was… or what a wonderful guy I was. And none of it means anything to me because I’m not that guy. I’m sorry. Yeah. Me too. Uh, why did you come in here? Well, when my head is spinning like this, I find that music is the only thing that helps me. Okay. Be my guest. Thank you. From the first time that I arrested brook lynn, I could tell that she was a force of nature. You say that like arresting her was a romantic gesture. No, but needless to say, she didn’t appreciate my actions as a detective. Because you didn’t really have a rea– shh, shh, shh. I want to hear what he has to say. From the first time, even though that we didn’t agree on everything — on anything. Okay. On anything.

[ Chuckles ] I couldn’t help but admire her spirit and commitment. I mean, she was so eager to put everything that she believed in on the line. And I always wondered where she got that nerve from. Now I know. Aww. Well, you know, I didn’t do everything right when it comes to being a mother, but if I taught my daughter to stand up for herself, then that makes me proud. ‘Cause my brook lynn, she’s always been her own person. With a very high tolerance for embarrassment. I already apologized for the scene with your father. I know, ma. It’s fine. I’m just glad that chase got to meet the real you. I’m glad I finally got to meet you, lois. Well, the feeling is mutual. It makes me feel so good to see my daughter so happy. And you seem like a very kind and patient man. Ma! Both of which are qualities that are good to have if you’re gonna move forward with my daughter. Okay. I got to break this love fest up. We have to go. Okay. Wait. Just one hug. I want a hug. Come on. Ohh.


Brook lynn: Let’s go, chase. Aww. Brook? Hey! Hello?! You’re welcome. For what? They’re together because of me. Oh, is that a fact? My daughter found a man that clearly adores her, and she loves him back, and that joy is all because of you? They were miles apart. I brought them together. Because you blackmailed my daughter to get what you wanted! That man didn’t find the lord. He found a loophole. You got to give cyrus some credit, though. He knows how to work the system. System? The system’s a joke! That man is walking around free while you’re going back to pentonville for insider trading that you lost money on?! It’s insane! It’s just something that we got to deal with, at least for now. That man is dangerous. He can’t be out there roaming the streets of port charles.

[ Cellphone rings ] Josslyn, what’s up? Mom, everyone is safe, but something’s happened, and you need to come home right away. Ava: Dex? Are you alright? Dante: This is detective falconeri. I need paramedics and a crime-scene unit about two miles up county road 21. Thank you. Did he hurt you? No. No. I’m okay. How did you find me? With a lot of help. It’s a long story. Well, I’m glad I’ll get to hear it. Perp is still alive, but he’s unconscious. Two gunshot wounds to the back. He’s gonna need medical attention and transport. Thank you. Bastard gonna live? Eh, guys like this usually do. Any idea why he brought you up here? It was pretty clear when he was dragging me to the edge of the cliff before dex showed up. I mean, ava, any idea why he abducted you in the first place? Orders, I guess, from his boss. Who’s his boss? Did you get a name? No. But when I do, they’re gonna wish I never heard it.

[ Button clicks ] I need to talk to ava.

[ Sighs ] She seems to have become quite important in your life. I need to know that she’s okay. Austin, I have expressed my gratitude for your help at the hearing, but gratitude only goes so far. You’ve known me a long time, and I’m sure by now you understand you are in no position to make demands. It’s best to remember who’s in control here.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Sean resigned? I’m as surprised as you are. What’s he gonna do now? Well, he’s leaving town, moving closer to his parents. I guess there’s a good rehab facility out there. I see. Well, at least he’s getting the help that he needs, wherever that may be. Yeah. What are you thinking? Oh. I know Sean promised that it was just a one night stand, what happened with he and my sister, and that it will never happen again.

But, I still can’t help but feel a bit relieved that the two of them are going to be very far apart from each other.

Wait, Mrs. Brady.

Look, I just wanted to say, um, when you walked in on me talking to Sean at the police station, that was just a one time thing, okay? You never have to worry about me dropping in on him ever again. Yeah, I know. Because Sean just left town.

Happy birthday, my love.

God, look at you. You’re still the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.

Abby.

I know you’ve been gone for a while now. But I

still miss you.

Every minute. Of every day.

You’re still with me though.

I hear.

You know, we have um, we have a good birthday planned for you. Julie’s gonna, gonna meet me at the cemetery with the kids.

Spoiler alert. I brought you flowers

and then the kids say I made you a few things.

Remember the good times?

How happy you made us all.

How grateful we are. We were for the time that we did have with you.

We should’ve,

we should’ve had more though. We should’ve had so much more time.

I have, I’ve tried. Believe me, I have tried to get rid of this anger.

Because I know that is what you would want.

But I

can’t. I can’t. Because every time,

I think about how I found you that night.

I think about how you were taken from

us. And I think about Clyde Weston and what you.

To us.

How can that son of

a bitch live with himself? Oh, Ava? Ava Vartali? Yes? It’s so nice to hear your voice. Uh, listen. Little Birdie told me that your baby boy had an accident at work today. And, um, I think you should know. It wasn’t no accident. What? Who the hell is this? Well, uh, you’ll find out soon enough. Cause you and I, we got a lot to talk about, mama.

Why? Why did you attack my son? Well, I think you misunderstood. Um, unfortunately, I wasn’t able to do the deed myself. You see, at the present time, I happen to be locked up. You’re in prison. That’s right. You do catch on fast. But like I said, we need to talk in person. So why don’t you mosey on down to Statesville and ask to see prisoner number 49.

9 2 4, a. k. a. Clad Westin.

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

Clad Westin. Why would you attack my son? Answer me. I await your arrival, Miss Vitale, when all will be revealed. Hey,

Mom,

where are you going? Um, I, uh, I have to take care of something. I’ll be back. Wait,

Sean left town? Wow, I, I had no idea. Just to be clear, Sean and I are still together. He just went to go spend some time with his parents and get the help that he needs. Yeah, of course. But, you’re not going with him? Not that it’s any of your business, but no. I’ll be staying here in Salem for the foreseeable future.

So listen, if you could just do me a favor. Yeah, anything. Just stay away from me, okay?

Talia and Sean, I know how upsetting that was for you. Never mind me. He cheated on his wife. Yeah, Bell’s the one that’s really going through it. Well, the alcohol clouded his judgment. And hers. But, uh, he realizes he has a problem and he’s dealing with it and that’s a good thing. In the meantime, I need to find you a partner and considering we are understaffed, I’m gonna need to hire someone new.

Yes? Uh, excuse me, Commissioner. Uh, do you have a moment? Is

Belle okay? Why do you ask? Well, because she was in earlier, and she just seemed off. You know, and I, I know that she’s been having problems with Sean, but I thought that you told me he was doing okay and that she was encouraged. She was. She was. Um, but then things have gone, uh, rather badly. They’ve gone from bad to worse, in fact.

And it just makes me so sad because she’s, she… She has supported him. She has stood by him. During his, uh, drinking. During his depression because of his father and his grandfather and now… And now what?

Now he’s cheated on her. Let’s tell you, Hunter.

I know, Mrs. Brady, that this is bad. Listen, Talia, listen. I don’t blame you for what happened. Okay? Not entirely, anyway. I know that this is on Sean. Right. Having said that, though, I’m sure you can understand why I just don’t want to be around you. But it’s going to be hard. It’s going to be hard to avoid each other in Salem because it’s a really small town and, you know, I get the sense that you probably don’t want to be bumping into me either, so why don’t we just agree to just steer clear of each other, okay, like, forever.

Okay, I’m here.

What the hell is going on? Ms. Fatale, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Oh, cut the crap. Why’d you have my son attacked? Right to the point, huh? I do lack that in a woman. Okay. Why did I have you sign up tech? Because you screwed up my plans. You see, I’m trying to build a business empire from in here. Oh, an empire, huh?

Of what? Toilet wine? Blue cigarettes? No. Pharmaceuticals. And we were all about ready to launch. When you nearly destroyed the entire operation. And how’d I do that? Well, you see, I couldn’t really run a business from in here, so I needed a partner on the outside. Oh my God, can we please get to the point?

Well, let’s just say that this partner was less than a willing participant. But, I found the means to force him to do my bidding. Until, of course, you stole my leverage. Leverage? What leverage? What the hell are we talking about here? We’re talking about the partner I just lost. Who happens to be a close personal friend of yours.

Mr. E. J. DeMare.

Chad, what brings you by? Uh, you know, Thomas and Charlotte wanted to see Rachel. Apparently her toys are much, much better than theirs. Yes, I think she got a new hole last week. Right. Anyway, I thought it would be good for the kids to have a play date. Yeah. We just came from Abby’s grave. Of course. Today is her birthday, isn’t it?

Yeah, you remember. She was my sister and all. I

miss her too.

Mr. Michaels. What can I do for you? Well, I was hoping to have a word with you. Your assistant said now might be a good time, but I don’t mean to interrupt. No, you’re fine. I was actually just about to go grab some lunch. So, excuse me. So, Amanda, what’s up? Uh, you know, I’m a bit reluctant, um, given the circumstances and, uh, my recent history and not so recent history.

You know what, I think this is just a mistake. Wait, wait, what’s a mistake? What’s on your mind? Well, I’m here because, um,

I wonder if there’s any possibility that maybe… Harris, why don’t you just say it? I need a job.

I still can’t believe the, uh, the news about your, your mother. I mean, You must be so happy, so relieved. I am. I, I just… I just wish that she could have stayed. Did she go back to Memphis? Couldn’t wait to get back to Roger and tell, tell him the good news. That, like the king himself, the rumors of her death were greatly exaggerated.

Yeah, I envy you. Yeah, I mean, your mom may have gone home, but, uh, but she’s out there. Somewhere, you know, she’s just a, she’s just a quick flight away. Yes, that’s, that is true. And Chad, how I wish that were the case with Abigail. I know today is especially difficult. Her birthday. Yeah, it is. You know, let’s um, focus on the good news.

You got your mom back. I do. I do. And, and, honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the moment that Harris Michaels brought her through those doors.

You need a job. Oh, you mean here? Yeah. Yes. Here. I mean, although I may not have experience with law enforcement, I was talking to Kate Brady. Uh, you know Kate, right? Yeah. Yeah. We’re acquainted. Okay. Well, um, she actually mentioned, um, that, you know, the training and the skills that I do have, that I could be maybe of some value to you.

Ah, I see. Right. So when you say training, you mean in the Navy? Yeah, that’s, that’s exactly what I mean. Yeah. I went to the police academy before, then I went to the military, and that’s when I became a SEAL. Oh, yeah, yeah. Well, I’m sure you have quite the skill set. Yeah. I mean, you used it, uh, in those special ops you did for Megan Hathaway, right?

You kidnapped John Black and Steve Johnson. That’s no mean feat. Yeah, that’s uh, not what I was talking about when I said I was qualified. Yeah. So, um, I thank you for your time, Commissioner. Yeah, well why are you rushing off so fast? I was enough.

So, do we understand each other? You and I are just gonna do everything we can to stay as far away from each other as possible because I really just need you to stay away from me. Talia, are you okay? Hey. Hey, I couldn’t hear what Belle was saying to you just now, but I can’t imagine that it was anything good.

No, it wasn’t. But I mean, I get it. She has every right to hate me. Yeah, well maybe she does. But she has no right to be cruel to you. Okay? Listen. I’m gonna go talk to her, okay? No, please don’t, okay? I don’t want to cause more trouble than it already is. So please just leave it. Okay.

Whatever, fine. But listen, Talia. Sean was complicit in what he did. And at some point, Belle’s gonna have to realize that you did not mean to hurt her. And I know, I know this sounds cliche, but please believe me when I say that this will get better, okay? It’ll get easier in time. Yup. I know it will. Because…

Jayna, I won’t be here.

Tripp? Hey. I didn’t expect to find you here. Ah, but here I am. Uh, how’d it go at the unemployment office? Well, I filed my claim. Mm hmm. And then I got the hell out of there. You know, I think that place has the DMV beat. Hands down, worst afternoon ever. Which is why you are definitely a sight for sore eyes.

Well, after the day I’ve had, I can definitely say the same about you. But why are you even here? I thought you had to shift at the hospital. I did, I did. But then I got the hell out of there. And so, if you want it, that means we could. Wait, wait, wait. What about your mom? She’s not here. When’s she coming back?

That’s hopefully not too soon. Yeah, that’s not too reassuring, Tripp. I’m sorry, I know. I don’t know where she is. Uh, she did leave in kind of a hurry, though. Is something wrong? I hope not. Uh, but she did seem kind of rattled. Uh, I don’t know. She has something to take care of. I have no idea what it was.

DJ. What are you talking about? What leverage? You really need me to spell it out? Okay. I had his momma on ice in London. Oh my god. It was you. You handed Susan over to Edmund Crumb.

How? How’d you do it from in here? Providence, Miss Vitali. Providence. An associate of mine just happened upon an injured Susan right after the crash. He flew a kite my way. Wasn’t very difficult to find that Looney Tunes ex husband of hers in London, so I just had her labeled fragile and shipped her on over.

And what, so you just, what, sat on her for about a year? Well, let’s just say that, um, finding investors was a little more difficult than I anticipated. But, lucky for me, Cronus took the side with Susan. Well, no problem to have him keep her under wraps until I did everything lined up, you know, then I was going to use her To force him to run my business But why AJ Well He and I did some business together back in the day And last time I got out of here.

I pitched teaming up again. Did he? Shopping down. Mr Posh Spice in his fancy mansion, but I found the incentive to, uh, Force his perfectly manicured hand. Until you stole my leverage. I think the word you’re looking for is… Rescued. So?

Because I messed up your little plan accidentally. You decide to try and kill my son? It’s fatality. Discretion is appreciated. Oh, you can shove your… I did not try to kill you, son. That was a warning. Because I need someone to replace EJ. And that someone’s gonna be you, mama.

Okay, we’re inside. We’re seated. Now tell me everything. And no, I am not gonna wait until we order. Uh, Jada, I… No, no, no, no. Don’t Jada me. I want you to tell me what you meant by you’re not going to be here. Look, it’s just, I was thinking it’s probably best that um, I go back to California. California? But you’re, you’re settled here.

And you have a good job, a great job at the hospital. Yeah, I know. And look, don’t get me wrong, I am very grateful to Kayla for setting that up for me. But look, I still have connections at Stanford. I graduated top of my class. I mean, it has to mean something, right? Of course it does. But it also means something here, too.

Listen, don’t let Belle run you out of town. You deserve to be here just as much as she does. I’m not so sure about that.

Michaels, I was just giving you a hard time. Yeah, you’re gonna have to be able to take that around here. So, you mean… You’d be an invaluable asset to Salem PD. Especially since we are severely understaffed. So, I’m hired? Well, no. I mean, I have to run it past the mayor. Especially considering the fact that you’d be a pretty unorthodox hire.

This would also probably put you back in the headlines. But, um… As long as the mayor doesn’t have a problem with it, I’m open to see you on PD.

I guess we’re pretty lucky then that their Harris Michaels blew into town. I suppose that’s true. But, none of this would have happened if Ava hadn’t remembered seeing my mother escape the car before it exploded. And, as much as I hate to admit it, I also have Ava to thank for bringing my mother back home to me.

Ugh. So, ketchup or hot sauce? Hm? To muscle down the, the hat? Or did, I mean, there’s no way you could have eaten it dry. Or did, was it crow that you had to eat? Yes, yes, yes. Enjoy it while it lasts, brother. So, then, um. Are you actually turning over a new leaf? Are you and Ava square? I’m not going to do anything drastic if that’s what you’re asking me.

But I don’t think square is the word I would use. Ava may have brought my mother back to me. But she is also responsible for my mother disappearing in the first place. I lost a year with my mother, Chad. And I won’t forgive her for that.

You want me to run your new drug empire? You used to run banks for the Philly mob, didn’t you? That was a long time ago. I’m going straight. Trying to put my life back together, and that starts with getting a legitimate job. Well, I’ll set you up with a legitimate job, alright? That’s not a problem. I got connections at the Bistro.

The Bistro? Mm hmm. What, in Horton Town Square? That’s the one. It’ll be a front, but… You’ll look the part. And none of your loved ones will be any of the wiser. Speaking of What? Well…

You know, I expected you to put up a little bit of a fight about this, which is why I sent my friend to visit your son. But like I said, that’s a warning. And if you don’t… Do what I ask you to do.

We sum to dead man.

You know what, this might be about Harris Michaels. Why do you think that? Well, when I got here, he, uh, was here. And they were a little friendly. Oh, friendly. Yeah. Which is a euphemism for more than friendly. Yeah. So you think there’s something going on between them? Well, my mom tried to deny it, but then, uh, she ended up telling me that the two of them are planning to have dinner.

Oh! Mm hmm. Good for them. Mm hmm. And, you know, they say the best relationships start out as friendships. Oh. Yeah. I mean, look at us. Oh.

What’s wrong? It’s nothing. Wait, wait. Is that a bandage in my hair? It’s nothing, really. Tripp, what happened? I was attacked at work. You were what?

So, a patient attacked you at work. You need to be bandaged up. And sent home early, and I don’t hear a word about it? I’m telling you now, and honestly, it’s really not that big of a deal. Trip, you got stabbed. It wasn’t a stabbing, okay? It was a minor cut. Really, the artery’s severed. Oh, how comforting. So?

Was this guy facing charges? They arrested him, right? Actually, he kinda got away. My God, so he’s still somewhere out there. What if he comes back? He won’t. Okay, hey, look. It was just some junkie, right, that went a little nuts. Okay, it’s not like he was out to kill me.

So, if I don’t agree to help you… Yeah, uh… I’m no fancy lawyer like our friend EJ, but from my perspective, I, it looks like you’re trapped. Oh, I’m trapped, okay. It’s pretty interesting coming from a guy who’s sitting here in prison. Oh, well, don’t let these four walls fool you, you know. I think I’ve proved that I can get to anyone on the outside.

And my friends would only be too happy to pay your son a visit on my behalf. Once again. So I don’t have a choice. If I want to keep my son safe, I have to run your business.

I do believe you finally get it.

And I would keep my pretty little mouth shut about this arrangement if I were you. Which, I don’t think should be a problem. You do strike me as a kind of woman who’s really good at keeping secrets.

Yes, sir. Ray, Bob, I do believe this is the beginning of a very profitable friendship.

Oh, I really, uh, I really appreciate this commissioner. Now that I’m working with the Salem PD in an official capacity, maybe there’s still a chance I can get that confession from EJ DeMera after all. Yeah, well, I won’t deny that that thought crossed my mind as well, but, uh, I have something else in mind for you.

Talia, don’t say that. Of course you deserve to be here. Yeah, well, I don’t agree with you. Okay, and even if I did deserve to be here, how can I have a life here now? I mean, I literally work at the hospital with Belle’s mother. Don’t even get me started with Chanel. I thought that was going to be something and now, seeing her with Johnny, you know, that hurts way too much.

So please, can we just face it that Salem was just a failed experiment for me. Tell you, listen, I know you’ve had a lot of disappointment here, but listen, I’m still here. I’m your big sister and I love you. You ride or die. T right. And trust me, I love you too. Okay. But. This isn’t something I just thought about in the spur of the moment.

I’ve been thinking about this for a while now, okay? So please, please just try not to talk me out of it anymore. This is something that I really need to do.

I’m gonna go

back.

Oh,

Jada. I know this has been hard for you. Talia’s grown up a lot in these past few months, and if she says that it’s time to go, then I believe her. It’s time to go. It’s not necessarily forever. Maybe, maybe she’ll take this time, and when she figures things out in her head, then maybe she’ll come back. Yeah.

Yeah, maybe she will. Yeah.

Hey. Hi. You’re heading to Cali? Yeah. I booked the last seat on the last flight tonight. Well, we’re gonna miss you. We will. Although, I can’t say I blame you with this Midwestern winter coming. Yeah. Yeah. You left to the airport? Um, no. Thanks. Um, I have a car coming. Okay.

So, um, you got everything? Yeah, I think so. But I know if I forget something, I know you’ll mail it to me. Yeah. You know, I got you, sis. And besides, it’s not like mom wouldn’t buy you two new things if you had anything you left anyway. You know. So, um, I’m gonna go. I’m gonna miss you so much. I’m gonna miss you too.

Be safe, okay?

Oh, looks like they approved my unemployment. That’s great. What’s the bad news? In order for my benefits to continue, I’m going to have to show meaningful proof that I’ve been searching for a new job. I was the head of the IT department at DiMera, okay? I can’t just find a health wanted sign in the square.

He just wants you to put something down. Don’t worry too much. Hey, think of this as a bonding opportunity. You could, uh, pound the pavement with my mom. Your mom? Yeah. She’s looking for a job too.

Ava. Oh,

hey. You okay? Yeah, yeah, I’m,

I’m, I’m, I’m fine. Okay, that’s good, because I have some news. Yeah? Just got a job at the Salem PD. Ray fired you, huh? Wow, that’s, that’s crazy. It’s great. Yeah, I couldn’t, I couldn’t believe it. And he’s already assigned me my first case. Really? Yeah. What is it? He wants me to find the person who delivered Susan to Edmund Crowe.

All right, well, I should probably, um, round up the kids. Promise them ice cream. Celebrate their, their mom’s birthday. Right? Chime. My heart breaks for you. And you may not want to hear this right now, but I wish to hell that I killed Clyde Weston when I had the chance. Especially when I’m around your wonderful children.

And mother cruelly taken away from them. From you.

Actually, I, I don’t mind hearing that. I am often, concerned with anger.

Really is a shame that, Belle and Sean, Showed up last year before we had a chance to take that bastard out. It would have been quite fun watching him bleed out in that cemetery.

Well, what do you know? Looks like this is going to work out after all.

Sorry for falling apart like this. Alright, it’s okay. It’s understandable. Jenna? Honey, what’s wrong? Hey. Hey, um, my sister, she’s, she’s leaving Salem. She’s actually on her way to the airport right now. What? But she just got a job at the hospital. I thought she was happy. She was, uh, up until recently. Oh. So it’s, is it about Sean?

And sleeping together? The repercussions thereof? You knew about that? Well, Marlena told me. Hey, look. No judgment whatsoever, but I think it probably is best for Marlena, Belle, and Vitalia too, that if they’re just not in close proximity for a while. Yeah, I, I get that. I just, I just wish it didn’t end up this way.

Of course not.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

[ Relaxing music ]

Brooke: This is what we needed.

Ridge: It is. Why did we leave the house?

Brooke: I don’t know. I just– a change of scenery, you know. So we can forget about deacon and sheila.

Ridge: I think about deacon all the time. Not in that way. I just think that I don’t like the guy and he’s– he’s– I just didn’t think he was an idiot.

Brooke: Ugh, okay. Well, he says that he loves sheila.

Ridge: That’s what I mean. He’s an idiot.

Brooke: Look, he’s made some bad decisions, but he’s made some good decisions lately, like his relationship with his daughter and look what he’s done to il giardino. He’s made it a hit. And maybe he just looks at sheila differently. He’s unbiased compared to how we see her.

Ridge: Okay. Do you hear yourself? We’re talking about sheila.

Brooke: Yeah, I know.

[ Brooke groaning ] I just wanna– I wanna forget about sheila. I don’t want to talk about her. We have more important things to worry about, like my daughter and her relationship with your son, if we can call it that. You know, I am worried about her. She’s not even listening to me. See, here I go again with this negativity. I wanna stop that. No more negativity. I wanna think positive and I wanna think about beautiful things.

Ridge: Thank you. Thank you.

Brooke: Why yes, you are beautiful.

Ridge: Hm?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. And this, of course. Wow, this design? This is truly inspiring.

Ridge: It is inspired. By you.

Brooke: Aw.

Ridge: So, when you think about it, freud would say that you’re the reason I wanna defeat my father.

Brooke: Oh.

[ Brooke giggling ]

Eric: Yeah.

[ Eric sighing ] Nah. Don’t like it. Rj, look, I was gonna go with the guipure, but I think it’s too contemporary, it’s too modern for us, so let’s go with the, uh, alencon or the embroidered. I’m not sure. We’ll have to decide today though. All right. Good. Thank you.

[ Eric coughing ]

Donna: I heard you from the other room. Are you okay?

Eric: [ Raspy ] Yeah, yeah. Yes, I’m fine.

Rj: I don’t care what li says. You’re not leaving forrester. Hey, luna. Just the person I wanted to see.

Luna: Oh, yeah? You got an assignment?

Rj: No, maybe it just puts me in a good mood to see you.

Luna: That’s so sweet.

Rj: Hey, it’s just the truth.

Luna: Can I see?

Rj: Yeah. What do you think?

Luna: It’s so beautiful.

Rj: You think?

Luna: I mean, you’re so talented. And so kind and thoughtful. I wanted to thank you again for helping me stand up to my aunt li.

Li: Obviously, we will continually monitor him, but I say another 48 hours, he’ll be out of icu. Another 24-36 before pt’s in there to get him up and moving. He was lucky.

Finn: Lucky you were on call. Saved his life.

Li: One minute, I’m fighting with the vending machine–

Finn: Oh, the one outside ortho?

Li: Yeah.

Finn: Ugh.

Li: The next, I’m being called into surgery.

Finn: No, it’s a good thing because that vending machine didn’t stand a chance.

Li: What about you? Any new updates? Maybe on the personal side? Any progress with steffy?

Finn: Afraid not, but I’m determined to get steffy and the kids home as soon as possible.

Li: Make it happen. Your family needs you.

Finn: Speaking of, uh, family… I saw luna the other day.

Li: I heard.

Finn: Why are you insisting she leaves forrester creations?

[ Li sighing ]

Finn: Okay, nice try. That– that didn’t even vibrate.

Li: Just checking my next appointment.

Finn: Mom, come on. What’s up?

Li: Nothing. Maureen just shifted my schedule.

Finn: No. Why are you making luna quit her internship?

Rj: Hey, you don’t need to thank me, all right? You’re the one who stood up to your aunt. I just put you two in the same room. Come on. It wasn’t right the way she was treating you, yes?

Luna: Yeah, but the way you defended me.

Rj: She has no right to tell you whether you can or cannot work at forrester, all right? We all love having you here. Especially me. Yeah?

Luna: Mm-hmm.

Brooke: How could you possibly narrow this down for the challenge?

Ridge: Well, that’s a good problem to have, right?

Charlie: Hey, boss. I just got word there is another shipment of bling on its way. My team is prepped and anxious, as is charlie. And this whole challenge has really got charlie’s heart a-thumping.

Ridge: Well, you tell charlie from me that that is exactly why we’re doing this.

Charlie: There you go. Oh, good one. You got me. But, I mean, this is exciting. Father versus son, sensei versus seito. Peanut butter versus banana.

Ridge: Can I be the banana, please?

Charlie: You sure? I mean, you could– you could have peanut butter. Bottom line– bottom line is it’s eric versus ridge.

Donna: Are you sure you’re okay? I mean, you– you’ve been coughing more and more these days.

Eric: Look, I’m– I’m– oh, here, here–

Donna: I got it, I got it.

[ Donna gasping ] Eric…

can we get real clear

about life with psoriasis?

Li: Let’s up her to five milligrams of prednisone. That should help. Four days and taper. Yes. What? You would have done something different?

Finn: No, no. You just never answered me.

Li: About your cousin? What’s the big deal? Luna came into town, she’s headed out.

Finn: Sounds like you’re driving her out, and the more you keep avoiding my questions, the more I wonder why. What is going on between you and luna?

Rj: Okay. It looks like granddad is finally zeroing in on a lace.

Luna: Okay. I’ll, uh, I’ll let the cutting room know what we’re not going with so far.

Rj: Thanks, princess.

Luna: The challenge is coming up. You think eric will be ready?

Rj: Oh, yeah. No doubt. Me on the other hand.

Luna: Oh, come on. What are you talking about? You’re killing it.

Rj: Hey, well, with you by my side helping me out, I feel a lot better.

Luna: I know what you mean.

Rj: You know, we were talking earlier about your aunt and you know, I just– I’ve been meaning to tell you this. I just want you to know, I completely believe in you, 100%, that you can handle all of this. I just want you to know whatever, whenever, I’m here for you.

Ridge: Can charlie let me know when the shipment comes in, please?

Charlie: You will be the first to know.

Ridge: That’s good. That’s good.

Charlie: Now, what I– I want to know is will this fashion challenge be happening at high noon? I mean, I– I’m getting a vibe here like it’s the showdown at the ok corral.

Brooke: I think you’re mixing up your westerns.

Charlie: Yeah– yeah, but you know, it’s– it’s the good, the bad and the ugly. You can have ugly, if you want.

Ridge: That’s generous, right? Charlie, here’s the thing. There’s not gonna be a shootout. It’s all about gamesmanship. But, this may be my dad’s last stand.

Eric: Donna, let’s– let’s not make more out of it than it really is.

Donna: You just coughed up blood.

Eric: Yeah.

Donna: Wait. Something tells me this isn’t the first time, is it? You’ve been hiding this from me? Wait. What– what did we just say about keeping secrets? How can I help you–

Eric: Donna, I just didn’t want you to worry anymore than you already have been.

[ Donna sighing ]

Donna: Eric.

Eric: I’ll be okay. It’s all right. It’s all right. Don’t worry. Don’T. Still having bladder leaks?

Finn: I don’t understand. I mean, luna seems so nice and sweet. I remember when she was little, and then, she and aunt poppy–

Li: Penelope.

Finn: Yeah. They just disappeared from our lives. Luna says you’re the reason why, mother. So, I’m going to ask you again: What is going on?

Luna: Yeah, if I’m being honest, my aunt li’s been hard on my mom and me for… for as long as I could remember and that’s the reason I didn’t want her knowing that I was working here. You’ve changed that. I mean, you’re such a great guy, rj. The way you care about me and support me is just…

Rj: Hey. You have been supporting me with my granddad and his whole situation and the weight of that, okay? All I’m doing is just returning the favor, all right? Come here.

Brooke: Katie said you’re working on the vip guest list?

Charlie: Oh, yeah. Just, you know, standard operating procedure these days. Just have to make sure everything’s all set for the showdown at the ok corral.

Ridge: You’ve really gotta stop calling it that.

Charlie: Oh, sure thing, sheriff– I mean, mr. Earp– I mean– I mean, mr. Forrester.

Ridge: We don’t want anyone fanning the flames. This is just a fashion showdown with my father.

Donna: How long has this been going on? Please talk to me, eric. Tell me.

Eric: No, no, I’m sorry. You’re right. It’s not the first time. It’s been going on for a while.

[ Eric sighing ] What– what are you doing?

Donna: I am calling your doctor. Something tells me that he doesn’t know either. Hi, yes. Um, this– yeah, yeah, I’ll hold.

Eric: Now, donna, you can– you can call the doctor, you can do all you want. I mean, they can do all the testing they want, it’s not gonna change anything. I’m gonna live while I’m alive, all right, donna? I’m determined to do my– my grand finale. Who says you can’t go for bold

Finn: Mom, come on, can you not just–

Li: What is your fascination with this? You should be focused on your family.

Finn: Luna is family.

Li: Fine. You want to know what I have against luna and her mother, my little sister? Luna’s mother turned my life upside down years ago. I will never forgive her for that.

Rj: You know, you came to forrester just at the right time. Seriously, I was– I was doing everything I could to try and help him. It’s just… it’s overwhelming.

Luna: I know how much you care about your grandfather. You don’t want to see him lose the fashion challenge to your dad.

Rj: And we both know that his health isn’t doing great. I just– I don’t think my dad realizes just how much this fashion challenge means to him.

Brooke: I know you’re in a very difficult position. You love and respect your father, but you’re determined to beat him on the runway.

Ridge: Well, he’s making me do this. I mean, you see his designs. You know, the– the time and the effort that– there’s no stopping this runaway train.

Donna: Hey. I brought you a few things.

Eric: Oh, here, here.

Donna: No, no. You need to rest.

Eric: Yeah, yeah.

Donna: Tea and honey and water, and oh, look at this yummy green juice full of antioxidants and every vitamin and mineral that you could possibly think of. Yeah?

Eric: And this is for what? For what?

Donna: It’s– it’s healthy. I want you to be healthy.

Eric: Donna, I’m fine. Really, I’m fine.

Donna: Okay, clearly, you’re not fine, eric, okay? Here’s one of your pills. You don’t have to take it for about ten minutes, but there you go. I’ll open it for you.

Eric: Thank you. Look… I hate that you called the doctor. You didn’t have to call the doctor.

Donna: Eric, I had to call the doctor. I mean, he’s gonna be–

[ Knocking on door ]

Eric: Here, here.

Donna: No, please just– just rest. Let me take care of you for once, okay? Please. Dr. Colby, thank you. Please come in. Thank you for, um, coming so quickly like that.

Colby: Of course. Eric.

Eric: Hello, doctor.

Colby: Tell me what’s going on. How are you feeling, eric?

Eric: I feel like you’re wasting your time.

Colby: Well, donna says that you’re coughing up blood. You’re only wasting time if you’re not honest with us, yourself. How long has this been going on?

Eric: Ah… couple of weeks.

Donna: What– what– what does this mean, doctor? I mean, why– why do we not have a diagnosis yet? I mean, clearly, his condition is getting worse and we need to know, doctor. We need– we need the truth.

Colby: Donna, I…

Donna: Is eric… is he dying?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Good morning, love. Thanks for letting me sleep in so late. I was up until about 3 a. m. dealing with that miserable PR crisis. You were dead asleep when I came to bed last night, so we didn’t get to end the night the way we usually do, but maybe we can start the day

that way. I wasn’t. Expecting to come face to face with Susan Banks, alive. You saw her? I just know. Must be such a huge weight off of your shoulders knowing that you aren’t a killer after all. I’m just so glad she made it. I spent so with guilt over what happened to her. Which I’m sure shocks you since you think I have no conscience that I’m a terrible person.

I don’t think that’s it. I never thought that. It was just, with everything that happened, or what I thought had happened,

I was just afraid to let you back into my life. But now, am.

I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.

This whole thing has just got me so emotional. I’m, I’m so sorry. I know that you’re with Chloe. No, I’m not. Chloe’s moving back to New York with Phillip. She and I are over. But that doesn’t change anything between you and me, Sarah, I, my God, you tried to deprive me of being a father to my own child. You did everything in your power to keep the truth about my daughter from me.

And I regret that now. Maria

is, she is just as much a part of you as she is me, and depriving you of our beautiful baby. It was, it was, it was so terribly unfair. I know that now. I know I was wrong.

Well, I

guess we both know what it’s like to want something so much

that you’ll do anything to hold on to it.

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

Hey! Hello. Oh, hey! Hey! Oh my gosh, welcome back! Thank you, thank you. It’s good to be back. Ah, I heard that London was, uh, an adventure. Yes, yes. I still can’t believe all that happened. I mean, Susan Banks is still alive, which got my mom off the hook for murder, obviously. And not only that, my mom is doing really well now, mentally, in that they released her from Bayview.

That’s a lot to take in, right? Definitely. Yeah. Thank you. Well, um, now that your mom is free, is she going to be staying around Salem for a while? Um, she’s, I don’t think she’s made a decision yet. Uh, she just kind of wants to take a minute to catch her breath. Probably wise. Yeah, just hope that, uh… What?

What do you hope? Well, that just whatever she decides to do, it just gives her some sort of stability. You know, some peace of mind. Because after everything she’s been through the last couple of years, the last thing a mom needs is more drama.

I’ve wanted to do that for quite a while. Yeah, same here. Even though I just told my son that… My feelings for you were not romantic. I was telling Dr. Evans that my feelings for you were strictly platonic.

Well, we, we met at

the time,

right? Yeah, just at the time. Mm. So you were… You’re admitting to me that you shouldn’t have kept me in the dark about my daughter.

Yeah. Yes, I am. Sandra, it wasn’t, it wasn’t some random decision on my end. Yes, I, yes, I know that it was wrong, Mal. I, I do. But at the time, it felt completely justified. I, I mean… Charlie, you understand that, like No! No, Sarah, I don’t, because Look, I know I’ve been a screw up at times, far too many times, I’ve made some terrible decisions, but when we were together, every choice I made, good or bad, smart or stupid, I made because I loved you, and you You know that.

So how could you not know that I would also love our daughter with all my heart? I would be a good and loving father to that little girl, our little girl. Not only would I never place her in danger, I would protect her from danger with every cell of my being. Sarah, how could you not know that?

Susan Banks was being held captive by Edwin P. Crumb, her ex husband. Crumb, currently in Scotland Yard’s custody, claimed in his statement that shortly after the deadly car crash, which supposedly killed his ex wife, he received an unsolicited phone call from a person who then delivered Miss Banks to him.

Crumb denies acting in concert with this individual and claims not to know the individual’s identity. Well, Mr. Crumb, you poor stupid mook, you do speak the truth. Yes, sir. There’s no way you’d know who arranged that little reunion with B. J. DiMera’s mama. And even if Scotland Yard and Ray Fernandez and the Salem Keystone Cops put their collective pinheads together, I’d still never figure it out.

It was yours truly who accomplished that. What the hell did you accomplish, Clyde?

Chad, what’s going on? It’s nothing, I’m sorry. It’s not nothing, clearly. What’s, what, what did I do to make you pull away from me like that? It’s not you, it’s just me. I’m, I’m sorry, that sounds so cliche. Chad, it’s okay. You can tell me. What’s wrong?

It’s Abigail’s birthday today.

Oh, Chad, I’m so sorry. I forgot it was Abigail’s birthday today. That was thoughtless of me. Of course this day would be hard for you. Yeah. It’s, it’s been, um, much harder than I thought it would be. And, and what makes it even tougher is that it was about this time last year that we found out who, uh, took her from us.

That was Clyde Weston and I almost killed him and there is a part of me that still wishes I would have shot that son of a bitch when I had the chance.

Lucas, why don’t you just mosey along? Yeah, I’ll keep it moving. No problem. You’re the last person I want to cross paths with today anyway. Well, why’s that? You got another one of your Alcoholics Anonymous punch parties to host? Actually, it’s my niece Abigail’s birthday today. You remember Abigail, don’t you?

I mean, you must. You’re the one who murdered her in cold blood.

Yeah, my mom was worried, you know, when she got back from London, that they were gonna send her to Statesville or back to Bayview. But, uh, they discharged her. Which is great, but that just means that she had nowhere else to really go. Yeah, and I, I know you want to be there for her. I, I understand that. Yeah, but I can tell by the look on your face you’re not too thrilled about it.

Her staying with Wendy and me, I mean. Well, I, I have to admit that I am concerned. And so is your dad. I mean, why wouldn’t you be, given your history with my mom? But, okay, she really is doing better. I mean… She’s gotten treatment. She’s going to therapy. She seems committed to doing whatever it takes to get her life back on track.

They’re sending an OD patient into the ER. I have to go.

You know, we’ve got feelings that are more than platonic, I, um,

I’m thinking that maybe we should just, uh, Yeah, okay.

Say no more? I mean, it would be better if…

Okay, you’re right. You’re right. Just to put this… on hold. Until we get our lives back on track. Before we, uh, start. Something. Right? Right? Mm. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. We should, uh…

Just… Stay over there. Mm hmm.

Hey, Mr. Galvin, uh, you told the ER nurse that you took some pills. Tell me what exactly what they were just my regular meds, and I’m fine now. I don’t need to be here I’m not hurting anybody my concern is right now that you might be hurting yourself, okay? So we’re just gonna draw a little blood and see what’s going on with you, okay?

You’re not taking any of my blood, but I’m gonna take some of yours

Maybe maybe I should have known that in spite of all of your Screw ups as you call them That you would never actually put your own child in danger. But the truth is, I didn’t.

I shortchanged you and for that I am, I am so truly sorry. But right now, You’re shortchanging me if you’re not even going to at least try to see it from my perspective.

I didn’t, I didn’t want my daughter to grow up with a father that could end up in prison or dead and, and I could, I could never live with myself if something happened to you that affected our child. I had to protect her. Can you understand that? I suppose I can.

It’s just, when we were, the way I felt about you, Sarah, I, I just wanted you to be happy and to give you a good life and I, I can see now I got so desperate to make that happen that I, well I made the kind of terrible choices that, that caused me to lose you. The best thing that had ever happened to me, you know, the love of my life.

I loved you too, Xander.

I did.

Things were good between us. You had my whole heart. And you did make me happy. You… You made me so happy.

Don’t you know that walking away from you was the hardest thing that I have ever done?

Oh my God, what’s going on in here? Ah, I’m okay, it’s okay, it’s okay. A patient got paranoid while I was trying to draw his blood and grabbed his scalpel. Did he run off with it? No, I grabbed it from him, but not before he cut me. The cut’s not too deep though, he just missed the artery. Well, I’m sure the security will catch him.

Here, sit down and let me fix that up. God. Um, like,

um,

I know we’re both kind of disoriented right now. Okay, I’ll speak for myself, okay? Oh, God. Look, I just… I don’t know where my life’s headed right now. You know, here I am, I’m just staying with my grown son on his couch with his girlfriend, and I just… You know, I’ve got no money, and I don’t have any idea what kind of a job I could even get.

You know, the only work experience I have, well, let’s just say the only thing on my resume is, um, Mob Princess, and I’m not really interested in that line of work anymore. Yeah? I don’t know, maybe not knowing exactly who you are, it’s um, could be a clean start. Right? An opportunity to reinvent yourself.

Yeah. Yeah, I suppose. God, I don’t even know. I don’t have an idea as to what to do. All right, let’s, uh, let’s think for a second. Okay. Yeah. So, if you can do anything in the world, anything, what would it be? Hmm. Well, I do love to cook. There you go. And a lot of people love to eat. So, maybe you can find a way to feed people for a living.

Yeah. Maybe I could. Yeah. I’ll think about it. Yeah. What about you? If, um, if you could be anything in this world, what would

you be? So, I mean, I… I just have to wonder, even though I know that I did the very best I could to try to get them through some difficult times, was there, I mean, was there more that I could have done for my now adult children when they were kids to, to make life easier for them now? Kate, we both know by now that all we can do is our best.

And… The way that our children turn out sometimes is just in the hands of the gods. For lack of a better way to say that. But I think we can be optimistic. And we can just hope that they find their way. Yeah, I, yes, of course, I just… I guess I’m just feeling abandoned, you know, with Philip going off to New York, Rex is back in Chicago, Austin’s in Europe, and Lucas…

Oh, Lucas, my precious son, who had, who had so much promise.

Well, listen, Lucas, just for the record… I didn’t intend to kill Abigail Demare. You pathetic psycho. Why does it matter what the hell you intended to do? You went to the mansion with murder in your heart. You wanted, you wanted to murder another innocent woman, didn’t you? But that wasn’t personal. Belle Brady would have just been, you know, collateral damage because EJ made the big mistake of telling her my business and I had to send him a message.

You sick bastard. How do you live with yourself? How, how do you get through one day knowing all the pain and the suffering you caused? My niece is gone. She had her whole life ahead of her. How are you still alive, man? You don’t deserve that. How do you live with yourself?

Clyde Weston is locked up in Statesville where he belongs. And maybe it’s… Cold comfort, but at least you know that he can’t hurt you or anyone you love ever again. If I had killed him, I wouldn’t be here for my kids. Thomas and Charlotte who are my heart.

Chad, so many people love you. Need you.

And I hope you know I’m one of those people.

I’m sorry I pulled away.

It’s okay. You don’t need to apologize for that. Or for anything. Especially not today. I’m gonna, I’m

gonna go to, uh, Abby’s grave for, uh, a little while. Yeah, of course. I’ll come with you. Uh, Uh, I would rather you not.

I just, I just needed, I just needed to be me and the kids today. I hope that’s okay. Of course. I totally get it. I’ll see you later then? Yeah, I’ll see you later.

Well, you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t get all choked up over Chad’s loss. You see, him and his brother EJ? Not such upstanding citizens. It was Chad trying to kill me. And when I tried to return the favor by choking that little sumbitch, EJ put a bullet in me. And here you are, still alive, sucking all the oxygen out of the room.

And what, are you thinking you can change that, Lucas? I’d like to see you try. You don’t have the guts for that kind of thing. As I recall, you had your mind set on killing Orpheus and you wimped out. You just lost your nerve, didn’t you? I didn’t kill Orpheus because I thought that he killed my mother.

Turns out my mom was alive. But Abigail’s not coming back, is she? So I don’t have to show you the same mercy, do I? Do I? Do you think you’re scaring me, you little miss head? You couldn’t kill a stuffed deer with a cannon at five paces! And let me remind you, I got clout in here and on the outside, so I’d be really careful about who I threatened if I were you.

I don’t care what you say, I’m not scared of you. Well, you should be, because I don’t have to hurt you to hurt you, you know what I mean? And I’m guessing you wouldn’t want to be mourning yet another loved one.

Uh, security says the patient is no longer in the vicinity. I guess they didn’t catch him. Damn. Okay, well, you are good to go. Well, thank you. I guess I’ll go back to work. Uh, uh, uh, nice try. No. You know hospital policy. If you are a victim of an assault, you need to either be admitted or go home. I know. I’ve already missed all those days when I was in London.

Well, you’re gonna miss one more. Go home and get some rest. Go on. Go, go, go. Okay. I’m going. I’m going.

Well, you know, like we were talking before, um, I got a room at the Brady Pub, so I gotta figure out how to pay rent.

And I was talking to Kate and she seems pretty convinced that the Salem PD could use somebody with my skill set. Well, do you want to be a cop? I’m a cop, a consultant, I don’t know. I mean, I did go to the police academy before I enlisted. And a lot of people go from the military to law enforcement, but obviously I’m going to have to talk to Commissioner Hernandez to see what he thinks.

Okay, well make sure you don’t use me as a reference because I am not his favorite person. Well, if I get the opportunity to work with the Commissioner, I’ll try not to hold that against him.

If it’s any consolation, the moment that Bonnie and my mom found out that I was pregnant, they thought that I should tell you the baby was yours. In fact, my mom was very upset with me for keeping it from you. She has always been on your side. She’s always reminding me that whatever choices You did make.

You did love me. Maggie has a heart of gold. Yeah. Yeah, she does. And,

just so you know, Rex had nothing to do with the decision that I made. That was all me. I chose to keep you.

But now…

With Susan being alive, and seeing how affected you are by that.

I think that I’ve, I think that I’ve made it clear that that changes things for me.

Victoria is your daughter. You were there for her, and for me, the moment that she was born. Xander,

you were her father. And I want you to be a part of her life.

Hello? Yes, I’ll accept the call. Lucas, is everything alright? Yeah, Chad, everything’s okay. Um, I just, I know it’s Abigail’s birthday today, so I was just calling to check up on you, see how you’re doing. That’s nice of you, Lucas. Um, I appreciate that you remembered. Of course I did. You know, I wish I could be there with you and the kids today.

But, um, I just hope you’re around people who love you. You know? I mean, you do have a lot of people who love you. You know that, right, Chad? Yeah. No, yeah. Yeah, I do.

Hey, Mom. Hey! Oh my gosh, I’m so glad to see you. Bad time? No, no. Actually, I have a few minutes. Um, what’s with all the security downstairs? Crazy, I know. There was an incident with a patient. Actually, he assaulted Tripp. What? Oh my god! Is he okay? He is fine. It was just a minor cut, but still. I had to send him home.

He didn’t want to go, but it’s hospital policy. So, so, what about you? What are you doing here? Um… I, uh, well, I was hoping to take my mom to lunch. Oh, well, I would love that so much, but I can’t. I can’t take that long a break. We are swamped, and I’m already down one doctor. Oh, well. I guess today’s one of those days I’m gonna just keep hearing no.

What do you mean?

Today is Abigail’s birthday.

Um. I offered to go with Chad to visit her grave. But he told me he didn’t want me there.

Listen, Chad, I know you probably don’t want to hear this right now, but um, I ran into Clyde Weston before I called you, and it gave me a chance to tell him what a waste of a life I think he is. Okay, listen, Lucas,

I’m gonna say what Abigail would tell you if she were here. You need to get out of that place in one piece. Okay, so, so that Thomas and Charlotte could spend some more time with their Uncle Lucas. So, I, I, I need you to steer clear of Clyde Weston. Do you understand? He’s the one who should steer clear of me.

No, Lucas. Don’t do anything stupid. Listen man, I gotta go. My time’s up. You take care of yourself, okay Chad? You too.

So, um,

Yeah? Maybe, um, maybe once I get a job I can, I can take you to dinner? Oh, I’d like that. Mm. And I know that we, uh, Decided to hold off on anything but friendship for now, but I don’t think a hug would be crossing any boundaries. Do you? No. Hey, you

guys. Oh. What’s going on? Tripp, hey. I thought you were, you were gonna be at work. I was, but I, uh, I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’d still be here. Yeah, no, I was just, uh, just leaving. Yeah, um. Take care, Harris. Yeah, you too.

So, what did I miss?

Sarah, I’m just, I’m so happy we were able to, to work this out. I just, I mean, happy isn’t, doesn’t even describe how I feel right now. You know what, Wyatt?

Why don’t I go get our little girl and introduce her to her daddy?

I’m sorry. Oh, this is Justin. I have to take this. He’s representing me, so just give me a few minutes. I’m going to tell him that I’ve decided to share custody with you, and then we can figure out where we go from here. Hey, Justin. No, I’m, I’m so glad that you called. I, I wanted to talk to you. I think I’m going to change my mind.

Wait, what?

Uh huh. No, I understand. Mm hmm. Thank you.

Justin just told me that you filed for full custody. And that Sloane Peterson is going to make the case on your behalf that I am an unfit parent.

Sarah, listen to me. I was, I was very angry when I made that decision. To be fair, you were keeping Victoria from me. I couldn’t bear it. I thought you were being unreasonable. Oh, you thought that I was being unreasonable. Well, if you thought I was unreasonable before, you just wait till I get you into court.

We don’t have to go to court. We just agreed that we can share custody. We can work this out. The hell we can! We agreed to share custody before I had all of the information and you were going to try to take my daughter away from me. Well, if you want a fight, Xander, now you have a fight. Sarah, No, I have heard enough.

My God, I thought that you had changed. Sarah! No! If you have something to say, say it to your lawyer who can tell mine. Now get the hell out of here. I don’t want to see your face until I have to see it in court.

So?

See, this is exactly what I was worried about when Chad and I first started dating. That no one would ever be able to take Abigail’s place in his life. Sweetie, you know what I think? I think this is a very sad day for Chad. He was traumatized by Abigail’s death. I

think you need to be patient.

I know he loves you. I believe that.

But what I don’t believe, is that he’ll ever love me as much as he loved her. Abigail was the love of his life.

Happy birthday, my love.

You’re still the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on.

I know it’s been a while since you’ve been gone,

but I still miss you. I’ve ruined it. Of the day.

Um, I’m sorry. Tripp, where are my manners? I know I’m your mother, but I really, I should check with you before I have a friend stay over so long. A friend? Really? Heh. I bet you’re staying here at Good Power Salem for a month. Okay. All right. All right. I will admit, there is an attraction. And full disclosure, Harris and I might have dinner soon.

What? What? What, what, what is that look? It’s dinner, okay? What is it?

What just a patient, an addict came in, strung it on God knows what and I tried to help him and just got a little violent. Oh my God. It’s, it’s okay, it’s okay, I’m fine. Alright, alright, the cut isn’t too deep and I’m, I’m taking some antibiotics just to be sure. Good. Hope they caught the guy. Not yet.

I’m gonna go change. Just give me two seconds. I’ll be back. Hello?

Uh, Ava. Ava Vitale?

Yes. So nice to hear your voice. Uh, listen, a little birdie told me that your baby boy had an accident at work today. But, I think you should know It wasn’t no accident. What? Who is this? Well, uh, you’ll find out soon enough. Because you and me, we got a lot to talk about, Mama.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Daniel: Lucy would like to know if you could stop and pick up some of those brownies from crimson lights and bring them back on the plane to lisbon.

Heather: Would she? Uh, it’s going to be morning when I land there?

Daniel: Well, then I guess it’s brownies for breakfast. I’ll tell her you said yes.

Heather: Okay. So, I guess I’ll be doing a brownie run before I head to the airport. But when I get back to portugal, it shouldn’t take us too long to pack what we need.

Daniel: Well, it might not take you that long. Our daughter on the other hand.

Heather: Yes. Uh, it will be very difficult to convince lucy she doesn’t need to bring every single book, stuffed animal, every single t-shirt. But I can just ship anything she wants later. You know, once we’re settled here.

Daniel: What are you gonna do with your place? Do you have to rent it out?

Heather: Well, my dad really likes it there. So, I’m thinking he’ll want to move into my apartment for now. And he’s been in a hotel the whole time. I feel like he’ll really appreciate an actual home for a change.

Daniel: That’s good. It’s smart. You’ll have somebody to keep an eye on the place while you figure out what to do with it.

Heather: Although, I haven’t asked him lately how it’s going with christine.

Daniel: Are they getting along?

Heather: I don’t know. I’ve stayed out of it.

Daniel: Probably smart.

Heather: Mm-hmm. Anyway…

Daniel: You know, when you come back to genoa city, I might have a place of my own.

Heather: You’re looking for an apartment.

Daniel: I am. I have been keeping an eye on the listings, seeing if there’s anything I might want to rent or possibly buy.

Heather: So, you’re really settling back here.

Daniel: Yeah. I love the athletic club.

Heather: Mint on the pillow every night.

Daniel: Also, can’t beat the room service. But I don’t know, I just I– I feel like I need something more permanent, especially with lucy. You know, when she’s here, I’d like for her to have a space of her own. A room where she can put some of those books, put some of those stuffed animals.

Heather: Yeah, that sounds great. I hate to ask because you’ve already offered to organize lucy’s school, but, uh, when you’re out there looking at real estate…

Daniel: You want me to keep an eye out for you too?

Heather: Yeah. If you wouldn’t mind.

Daniel: It’s not a problem at all.

Heather: Okay. So, just a rental for now. Something that works for lucy and me.

Lily: Hi. Sorry. Did I hear? Are you moving back to genoa city?

Nikki: All right, claire. I think that should do it. Once you finish up those last few things, you can go home. First day for you.

Claire: It’s been wonderful. Thank you, nikki.

Victoria: I’m sorry to interrupt.

Nikki: Oh, no, it’s fine. I want you to meet my new assistant, claire grace.

Victoria: Oh, nice to meet you, claire.

Claire: It’s an honor to meet you, miss newman. I’ve followed your career. Everything you’ve accomplished, it’s so impressive. Brash and sassy, your brainchild is… sorry. Fangirling in the office is probably frowned upon.

Victoria: Uh, but doing your research is always a good thing.

Claire: I’m just– I’m so impressed by everything you’ve done here at your family company. I met your father earlier. He must be so proud.

Victor: All right. Your turn.

[ Nick grunting ]

[ Nick grunting louder ] Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Are you pissed off with someone or what?

Nick: I was just blowing off some steam.

Victor: Uh-huh. Now, usually, you go to– to the athletic club. What are you doing here?

Nick: It’s just, uh, old habits, dad. Yeah, I saw adam earlier. He said you confused the two of us. You called him nicholas.

Victor: Nonsense.

Nick: Well, why would he lie? I mean, it’s adam, but still.

Victor: I don’t know. He misheard me.

Nick: All right, cool. It’s just a slip-up. No big deal.

Victor: Yeah, it just– just he misheard me. As simple as it is, okay?

Nick: All right. You’re up.

Victor: And… why would he say nonsense like that?

Nick: I don’t know. Let’s go.

Adam: Sally, it’s me.

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: Go away, adam.

Adam: Sally, please. Five minutes, that’s all I ask.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

[ Sally sighing ]

Sally: What is it?

Adam: I– I– I wanted to make sure sure that you were all right.

Sally: No, you didn’T.

Adam: What does that mean?

Sally: You were just looking for an excuse to follow me. But look, I’m– I’m okay, all right? So– so, you can leave.

Adam: You were pretty upset earlier at the coffee house. This is about our kiss, isn’t it? About nick’s reaction? Is that why he wanted to deck me in the face when I saw him earlier?

Sally: Okay. You’re not hearing me, adam? Just goodbye–

Adam: Listen to me. I heard you tell chloe that you might not have a business anymore. Do you really think nick is gonna pull funding over a kiss?

Sally: He could, yeah.

Adam: He would never do that to you. Over a kiss? That is so unfair.

Sally: Well, it’s his money. It’s his call.

Adam: Did you tell him that it was my fault? That I kissed you?

Sally: It doesn’t matter anymore, adam? All right. It’s done.

Adam: You know that? He said that he was gonna pull the plug on your business?

Sally: Oh, my god, just stop.

Adam: Listen, do you really think he’s gonna end your business over something that’s my fault?

Sally: Well, he’s gonna end our relationship over it. So, yeah, he could.

Adam: Oh, wow. I– I could talk to him.

Sally: Please don’T. Honestly, just stay away.

Adam: Look, it’s gonna work out, okay? Nick’s gonna– he’s gonna get over it. You sure you’re gonna be okay?

Sally: Yes, of course, I’m gonna be okay, adam. I’m always okay. All right? Everyone just needs to stop treating me like I’m some fragile flower. Like I don’t know, some breeze is just gonna blow me over and uproot me and I’m never gonna recover. Like I don’t know my own mind and I can’t control my own actions because that is not who I am. And you, of all people, should know that. You know the challenges I faced. I told you how I grew up.

Adam: Yes, I do know that.

Sally: I’m not looking for a hero, adam. And I’m done with people thinking that they know what’s best for me.

Nikki: All right, claire, I’ll see you in the morning.

Claire: Absolutely. Thank you. It has been a pleasure to meet you, miss newman.

Victoria: Um, nice to meet you too, claire. So, how is claire working out? You seem to be pretty sure that you found the perfect assistant.

Nikki: Well, today was just her first day, but I think she’s gonna be just fine.

Victoria: That’s great, mom.

Nikki: It is. But I don’t want to talk about my assistant. I want to talk about you. What’s going on?

Victoria: What do you mean? There’s nothing going on.

Nikki: Victoria.

Victoria: Mom, I’m fine.

Nikki: I don’t believe you. You seem rattled. Something has happened. And you know, I’m just gonna keep pushing you until you tell me, so what is wrong?

Claire: Oh, my god.

Nate: No damage.

Claire: I’m so sorry.

Nate: No damage to your tablet.

Claire: Oh, god. Totally my fault. I need to learn that walking while reading is not considered multitasking.

Nate: That is good advice.

Victor: Well, do you remember our first boxing lesson?

Nick: Yeah. It’s when I got back from boarding school in switzerland.

Victor: That’s right. My god almighty. Whoa.

Nick: You told me fighting is not always the best way to solve a conflict.

Victor: Did you find that to be true or what?

Nick: Sometimes, I like fighting.

Victor: Like father, like son.

Nick: Hey, how’s it going being back at the office?

Victor: I love it. Stress and all. I love it. Yep.

Nick: Can you promise me something? That you will not overdo it?

Victor: I promised your mother the same thing, okay? The only thing I regret is that you’re not at the company with me.

Nick: Yeah, I get it. Um, I’m enjoying working with sharon. I think it’s the best place for me right now.

Victor: Yeah, but I honestly think you should be with your family. You should be with the company.

Nick: But I don’t know if it’s best for me.

Victor: Well, but look at– look at how happy your sister is at newman media.

Nick: Um, mom’s the one who’s at newman media.

Victor: Oh.

Nick: Yeah. You made mom ceo of newman media. Vic’s still at the parent company, working as your second-in-command.

Victor: Oh, yeah. Right. Huh. (Man) mm, hey, honey.

Heather: Uh, daniel didn’t tell you? We– we– we talked about it a couple of days ago.

Daniel: We did. However, you didn’t sound all that sure of yourself.

Heather: I– I wasn’t, I– I really– I just made this decision yesterday.

Daniel: I didn’t really feel like it was my place to say anything until heather made up her mind.

Lily: Yeah, no, it makes sense. Um, what made you wanna move back here?

Heather: Lucy hates to be away from her dad, so that was probably the– the biggest determining factor. And then also, after I picked up phyllis’s case and I spent time back here, I realized how much I missed living in the states and genoa city.

Lily: Yeah. But what about your job in portugal?

Heather: Oh, I don’t have a long-term contract there. I made that a stipulation when I started the job and we were moving to a new country. I didn’t– I didn’t want to get trapped.

Lily: Yeah, smart.

Daniel: Yeah. You know, I did mention to heather that you might be looking for someone in your legal department at chancellor-winters. Um, I mean, didn’t you mention that somebody left so they could go run the east coast division?

Lily: It’s not finalized. Um, are you sure you wanna do in-house counsel? Because I thought you liked litigations. ‘Cause I mean, you could go to like a local firm or the D.A.’S office.

Heather: The courtroom isn’t exciting me as much as it used to. And I think I would really enjoy the detailed work of contracts and the excitement of negotiations.

Lily: Right. Yeah, I mean, we are actually down a couple of attorneys.

Heather: I can send you my resume and my recs.

Lily: Well, hold off because I mean, we might have some applications in and I don’t wanna waste your time.

Heather: Yeah. Yeah. Understood. I would enjoy an in-house position. I think it would exercise some new muscles for me.

Daniel: Probably mean more time with lucy.

Heather: Definitely a positive.

Lily: Yeah. Well, I’ll– I’ll look into it for sure.

Heather: That is truly fantastic, lily. Thank you.

Claire: Claire grace. I work for nikki newman. I was at the abbott party, but you probably don’t remember. It was a really quick introduction.

Nate: Yes, I remember now. My apologies. I had a lot of family stuff going on that day, so everything is kind of a blur. Nate hastings. Nice to formally meet you.

Claire: Likewise.

Nate: And I’m glad I didn’t break your tablet.

Claire: That would have been totally on me. But I’m glad it’s still in one piece as well.

Nate: If you’re like me, you’ve got most of your life on that thing.

Claire: Including everything I have to handle for mrs. Newman this week. It would have been pretty bad to lose that on my first day.

Nate: Indeed. So, how are you settling in at newman media?

Claire: It’s amazing. I’m so excited to be here. You know how people talk about finding their dream job?

Nate: And you usually don’t believe them.

Claire: But believe me, I’ve found it. I mean, people have been so nice, so welcoming. The company’s big, but there’s this great sense of togetherness. It’s so down to earth. I heard there’s even an assistant softball league.

Nate: That there is. Do you play?

Claire: No, but I’ll learn. Are you kidding?

Nate: Okay. Well, I am glad to hear you’re settling in at newman media. And it’s very nice meeting you.

Claire: Same.

Nate: I’ll see you around.

Claire: Yeah. Take care.

Victoria: I’m not rattled exactly. I’m– I’m just not having the best day. I had a couple of rough conversations with nicholas.

Nikki: Let me guess. You tried to convince him to come back to newman.

Victoria: We discussed it.

Nikki: And he turned you down.

Victoria: Yes.

Nikki: Well, it’s disappointing, but not surprising.

Victoria: There’s something going on with him. Something with adam.

Nikki: Isn’t there always?

Victoria: Well, I couldn’t get him to talk to me about it.

Nikki: I’ll bet you sally has something to do with it.

Victoria: Oh, yeah, I thought the same thing too. But I’m also worried about dad and the stress of him being back here, now more than ever.

Nikki: Why is that?

Victoria: I ran into adam earlier and he told me something disturbing. He told me that dad called him nicholas by mistake and when adam tried to point it out, dad got angry.

Nikki: Yeah, I know. I heard. Your father dismissed it with me as well. But you know, I mean, we’ve all done that kind of thing. I want to know why adam felt the need to tell you about it.

Victoria: I’m not sure.

Nikki: He’s trying to unnerve you.

Victoria: Mom, you know what? You’re right. Calling someone the wrong name once, it’s– it’s not a big deal, but it’s just very unlike dad. And I’m worried that the stress is really starting to get to him like we feared. And, I mean, I know you’re worried as well. I can see it in your eyes.

Nate: Nikki. Victoria. Sorry to interrupt. Uh, we have that conference call in ten minutes.

Victoria: Oh, that’s right. I was just telling mom what you saw earlier between dad and adam.

Nate: No, victor was just a little confused. That’s all. I don’t think we need to worry about it.

Nikki: Neither do I. I think adam was just grasping at straws for his own reasons. Whatever the hell those could be. I mean, you know how he is.

Nate: Adam’s not above trying to use something like this.

Nikki: Well, I don’t think there’s a reason for any of us to overreact.

Victoria: Maybe. Or maybe we’re not reacting enough. Hi. I use febreze fade defy plug.

Victor: Son, I know who holds what position in my company. I mean, your sister is my right hand and your mother runs newman media.

Nick: Yeah, but you said…

Victor: I said what?

Nick: Uh, nothing.

Victor: Okay. But your sister seems to have a hard time. She needs to accept the fact that she’s no longer in charge.

Nick: You think she’s finally come around?

Victor: Yeah, I think so. Yeah, I think she’s happy with it. With her job and that goes for adam as well. He is, I think, very happy being nate’s assistant.

Nick: Well then, you got what you wanted. I’m glad it’s working out.

Victor: And then there’s you. Let me ask you something. When you were pounding the heavy bag before, you seemed to do it with an enormous ferocity. I mean, what– was that meant for someone? Did you envision someone’s face on that heavy bag?

Adam: Look, I– I would never call you fragile. I mean, you are one of the strongest, bravest, most independent people that– that I’ve ever known, okay? You’re right up there with my mother.

Sally: Okay, please don’t do that, okay? Don’t bring your mother into this, all right? Because it’s just a way to distract me.

Adam: Sally. That’s not what I’m trying to do.

Sally: Really? Okay. Because every single time I think about hope, I think about all the wonderful things that you’ve told me about her and– and how you grew up and what you went through as a kid and how it’s made you into the person you are today and somehow, it lets you off the hook.

Adam: Okay. It- it– it wasn’t that deep, sally, or that conniving. I just was… never mind, okay? I’ll– I’ll keep my– uh, my mother out of this. All that I was trying to say is that I wish that I had half the resilience that you have. But even the strongest people in the world, they need to vent every once in a while, okay? It’s not healthy to keep everything inside.

Sally: Yeah. Except for I’m not, okay? The anger is boiling right at the surface along with frustration and annoyance.

Adam: Good. Sure. Yes. Sure. Come on.

Sally: You really want me to let it all out?

Adam: Yes.

Sally: Really? Are you ready for that? Because you do know that you’re the one I’m mad at, right?

Adam: Come on. Let me have it. But promise me that you’re not gonna hold back.

Heather: Well, I have to get back to packing and head to the airport.

Daniel: Don’t forget.

Heather: The brownies. Yes, thank you. Lucy, she would never forgive me.

Daniel: You’re welcome.

Heather: And a sincere thank you for supporting my decision.

Daniel: I’m all for anything that’s gonna get me more time with my daughter.

Heather: We can all be a family again.

Daniel: We always will be.

Heather: You’re right. It doesn’t matter where we all live, but it is definitely a bonus to be in the same town.

Daniel: Yeah. Look, I’ll work on school and trying to find an apartment for you. And I’ll let you know what I hear.

Heather: I appreciate it. And lily, uh, thank you so much for looking into your legal department to see if there might be room for me.

Lily: Yeah, of course. I will get on it tomorrow.

Heather: Okay.

Daniel: Have a safe flight.

Heather: Thanks. Okay, bye, guys.

Lily: Bye. It seems like her mind is made up.

Daniel: It sure does. You know, I spoke with her about it before. She seemed like she was on the fence.

Lily: So you’re, uh, really okay with this?

Daniel: With heather and lucy moving back to genoa city permanently?

Lily: Yeah.

Daniel: Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be? – It’s payback time.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. When prices and appliances click,

Lily: So, is that why you seemed off this morning?

Daniel: Yeah, I didn’t want to get my hopes up about lucy coming back.

Lily: Well, I mean you still could have told me. Did you think I was gonna have a problem with it?

Daniel: No.

Lily: ‘Cause you know, I want you to be close to lucy, right?

Daniel: I know. I didn’t want to ruin a romantic evening by talking about my ex.

Lily: Well, that’s a smart move. But still…

Daniel: So, you are worried?

Lily: No, no, no, not like that. I don’t think that you’re gonna, you know, get back together with heather.

Daniel: Because that’s not an issue. You know that, right?

Lily: No, I know. I’m just worried that you guys being in the same town and co-parenting so closely might bring up old stuff for you.

Daniel: Stuff like what?

Lily: I don’t know. I mean, you know, it could bring up old patterns or– or, you know, you could remember how bad things were and then you feel guilt and regret.

Daniel: Okay, okay. Look, I am not gonna spiral again, that is for sure. And I hate that you feel like you have to worry about me, but I do appreciate you expressing your concerns. I’m just– I’m in a much better headspace than I was when I left savannah and a lot of that is because of you.

Lily: Oh, really?

Daniel: Yes, really. We have a solid relationship. You support me. I support you. Right?

Lily: Yes.

Daniel: My career is great right now. I– I like the path I’m going on. It– it feels like it’s right. My demons, they have been exorcised.

Nick: Why do you think I was picturing someone’s face on the heavy bag? You know what? I know you’re not gonna let this go, so, um, earlier today, I made the decision to not put adam through a wall. But I needed to do something. So, my reward was the heavy bag.

Victor: What has he done to get you so worked up?

Nick: What? Like lately? Our whole history isn’t enough?

Victor: Hm. In other words, you don’t believe him when he says he’s gonna change his ways.

Nick: Not even a little bit. Unlike you, I can’t keep giving him chances. I’m done with it. I think he destroys everything he touches. I mean, he absolutely ruined my relationship with sally.

Victor: Hm. Sorry to hear that.

Nick: Are you? Because I feel like you’ve been waiting to hear that.

Victor: My son, let me be very honest with you. I think you’re too good for her.

Nick: Please don’t do that. All right? She’s a much better person than you ever give her credit for. And this isn’t even about her. This is about adam. Adam doesn’t deserve sally. Never has. Not after the way he broke her heart, but he did it to sharon. He’s gonna do it to sally.

Victor: What’s he doing to her?

Nick: Just this love bombing, obsessive thing. Telling them over and over again that they’re the only thing standing between him and his dark side. It’s ridiculous.

Victor: But maybe he’s right.

Nick: No, he’s not right. Otherwise, he would have made some changes, but he doesn’T. It doesn’t matter. He’s laser-focused on sally right now. Doing everything he can to pull her back in. I will never forgive him for that.

Sally: I don’t need your permission to feel, or do, or think anything, adam, okay? I don’t need your approval or your support or your endless subtle or not-so-subtle declarations of love. Why can’t you just leave me alone? Every single time I am happy and things are going well, there you are to take away my happiness. To make me question myself and to make me doubt my own feelings. We have been doing this dance for a long time now and I am exhausted. I don’t wanna do it anymore. Look, okay. When we first met, we knew that we were kindred spirits, okay? We were outsiders. We were disruptors. We are bold and we are passionate. I saw it in you and you saw it in me. But when I pursued you, you put me off. You told me all the reasons why it couldn’t work. Because I’m toxic and I’m no good for anyone. God. Oh, my god. Where would I be if I had just listened? But I didn’t listen. And then, when you finally, finally let me in, it was amazing. Until it wasn’t and you pushed me away again. Only to immediately try and get me back because you couldn’t stand the fact that I could survive without you.

Adam: Okay.

Sally: And god, thank god. Lucky me, I found nick, who is a good man. He’s– he’s a man who loves me. A man who stood by me when I was having another man’s child, his brother’s child. A man who talks about having his own children with me. I am so, so sick of you getting in my head, okay? You say that you’re my friend, but a friend wouldn’t work so hard to keep me off balance. A friend wouldn’t show me what an entire future could look like and then just rip it away. I was in a really good place. I was working through my grief over ava. And I was happy. Or almost happy anyway. Why did you have to kiss me? Why did you have to say those things? Why can’t you just let me go, adam?

Adam: I apologized. Okay? And I meant it. I mean, why– why– why does this still resonate so deeply for you? Why can’t we get past it?

Sally: Because I can’t let go of you either. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Sally: Oh, damn it. Damn you. God.

Adam: Is that true?

Sally: Yes. Yes, it’s true. Okay? But it doesn’t matter.

Adam: Sally.

Sally: No.

Adam: Yes, it does matter.

Sally: No, it doesn’T.

Adam: You just said that.

Sally: I shouldn’t have said anything, okay? ‘Cause I– I don’t even know why it’s true. It is not good. It is not healthy. It is not logical, okay? And there is absolutely no way I would act on something so wrong.

Adam: Sally, you just said that’s the truth.

Sally: You know what? You should go, go, adam, please. You got what you wanted, okay?

Adam: What are you talking about? I told you that I want you too, okay? So if you love me at all, care about me at all, leave me alone.

Lily: So, speaking of demons… oh, I was gonna make a joke about your mom. How’s she doing at omegasphere?

Daniel: It’s very funny, very funny. Um, I don’t know. I think she behaved. She’s not reporting directly to me. She’s part of this it team and has her own boss, so I didn’t see her all day long, but I– I did not hear any screaming, so…

Lily: Oh, that’s a good sign.

Daniel: Yeah, it is the first day, but still. You know, summer and I were actually gonna have dinner with her later to celebrate the new job. You should come.

Lily: Oh, no, no, no. Nope. Nope. Nope. You can have your mother all to yourself. Does she know about heather moving back to town?

Daniel: I don’t know how she could. I didn’t say anything.

Lily: Lucy?

Daniel: Maybe.

Lily: Well– well, she’s gonna be thrilled.

Daniel: I guess.

Lily: Yeah, of course. Are you kidding? She loves her granddaughter. We all know how she feels about you and heather getting back together. I mean she went to lisbon to try to work her magic.

Daniel: Which she never should have done in the first place and I never asked her to do. And it doesn’t really matter how my mom feels about me and heather ’cause that’s never gonna happen again. You know that, right?

Lily: Yes, of course.

Daniel: Listen to me. Come here. Heather is my past. You are my future.

Lily: Well, I’m your past too.

Daniel: Hm. That’s a good point.

Victoria: You don’t agree with my mother, do you? That I’m overreacting about my father’s behavior?

Nate: I understand that you’re concerned, but people do change their minds and make mistakes, confuse words or sometimes, you know, forget things when they’re under duress.

Victoria: Normal people, maybe, but not victor newman.

Nate: I know you’re not saying your dad’s not human.

Victoria: No, of course not. I’m just saying that I think something’s wrong. I’ve seen it. Adam’s even seen it. You’ve seen it, but you’re writing it off as an accident or fatigue or stress or whatever.

Nate: If your mother’s not worried about it and she spends–

Victoria: No, she is worried about it. I saw it on her face, but you walked in to tell me about the conference call before I could pin her down and get her to admit it.

Nate: Then, you should definitely talk more about it with her. Until then, I think we should go to dinner, relax, talk about nonwork, non-victor-related topics for a while. Deal?

Victoria: All right, deal.

Victor: To be frank with you, my son, I have watched the connection between adam and sally.

Nick: Thank you very much for pointing that out.

Victor: Well, I– I– I don’t mean to, you know, rub salt in the wound, but don’t you think it’s better if you and sally go your separate ways before you become more involved?

Nick: More involved how, dad? I– I love her. I’m in love with her, but adam refuses to respect that.

Victor: But adam and sally are expecting a baby. How can you possibly compete with that?

Nick: Um… dad, adam and– and sally they lost their baby months ago. You know that?

Victor: Oh. Oh, anyway, I gotta get to the office, okay?

Nick: Dad, um, you, okay?

Victor: Yeah. Just know that love is a many splendid thing and sometimes it hurts, you know? But I really think you’d be better off if you came back to newman enterprises. Really. Come back.

Lily: It is… “thank you for accepting me as part of the family company. I see great things in our future. Love, aunt mamie.”

Daniel: Hm. Nice. Any dark chocolate in there?

Lily: Hey, hey, hey.

Daniel: Okay. Not nice. I guess I don’t like dark chocolate. Are you still worried about her motives?

Lily: I don’t know. I just find the way that she’s going about this very odd. It’s like why the cloak and dagger?

Daniel: But she’s your aunt? She can’t possibly mean you any harm, can she?

Lily: I don’t know. I don’t know her that well. I mean, nate spent more time with her. She had left genoa city by the time I was born. And then when my mom and I came back from paris, she was busy with the abbotts. So, I don’t know. My mom adored her. She’s very close with aunt liv. So, maybe I have to leave the worrying to jill. I have enough of my own stuff to worry about.

Daniel: Like what?

Lily: Like you and your ex moving back to town?

Daniel: Oh, that’s not fair. Billy lives here. We see him all the time.

Lily: Billy? That’s so different.

Daniel: No.

Lily: Yes, it is.

Daniel: Oh, really? Maybe, I’m just going to have to show you that you have nothing to worry about.

Victoria: You know, everybody sees dad as this god. That he’s immortal or he’s infallible, but he’s not, he’s a human being who’s aging. He’s had multiple medical issues in the past. I know. I know we don’t want to think about the future. We certainly don’t want to say the words out loud, but dad is in a crisis. Even if you refuse to see it.

Nick: There’s nothing to see.

Victoria: Okay. Well, what if you’re wrong and– and we do nothing about it and then it gets worse. Are you gonna be able to live with that?

Nick: Hey, vic.

Victoria: Hi.

Nick: You might be right about dad.

Sally: Didn’t you hear me, adam? You need to leave.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Kristina: I have never seen a little girl so wholeheartedly embrace her duties to keep the groom away from the bride on the wedding day. Donna was so determined. Did you see her face?

Nina: She was so cute. She — she was perfect. I mean, the whole day. The whole day was perfect. I’m just — I’m just sorry that Michael, Willow, and Wiley had to leave so suddenly after the ceremony because Michael had business back in Port Charles.

Yeah. That’s Michael. He’s always working on something.

Right?


Mommy and Daddy missed you so much, Amelia.

Wiley: You missed the wedding because you’re still a baby, but it was fun. Now Grandma Nina is our grandma twice.

What do you mean?

Well, she was already our grandma before the wedding. Now she’s our grandma again because she married Grandpa.


Carly: Ohh! Oh! This is such a nice surprise.

Sam: I know. Hi, Carly.

Carly: Hi. So, are you gonna meet Dante here for dinner?

Sam: No, he’s at — he’s at work. How’s Drew doing?

Carly: He’s out of ICU, so, you know, he’s doing better.

Sam: That’s good. He doesn’t want Scout to visit him at the hospital, but she misses him.

Carly: Yeah, he really wants to see her, too, but not like this.

Sam: I know. It was bad.

Carly: Why don’t you take a seat? I’ll get you a menu.

Sam: You know what? I’m not here for food. I’m actually here for you.

Carly: For me?

Sam: Yes. Surprise, surprise. Yeah. I haven’t seen you much in the past couple of weeks, and I just wanted to see how you were doing. Carly, I know what’s going on.

Carly: What do you mean?

Sam: Dante told me that Sonny and Nina eloped in Puerto Rico.

Carly: Oh, that. [ Exhales sharply ]

Sam: Yeah. That. Come on, Carly. This can’t be easy on you. How are you doing? Are you okay?

Carly: No. I’m not.


Lucy: It will give you a whole new level of exposure. With the relaunch of the Deceptor and a new line of our anti-aging gels… of course not for you. Your skin is flawless.

Maxie: Oh, it’s — it’s absolutely perfect. Just gorgeous. But we also have this new lip liner that is so lush. It has vitamin c in it. And you — you could actually name the colors. Oh! And I forgot — in development, we have this wonderful mascara, waterproof, but, really, you can actually swim in it. It’s a very exciting time at Deception.

Blaze: And all products are cruelty-free?

Lucy: Oh, of course. Cruelty-free. Of course. I love animals. I had a duck.

Blaze: Really?

Lucy: Sigmund. Anyway, uh, what do you think?

Blaze: Uh, I have to say, I’m flattered, even if I’m a bit surprised.

Lucy: So…is that a yes? I mean, of course, don’t want to toot my own horn, but… oh.

Maxie: Watch out, Blaze. Here comes some tooting.

Lucy: Okay! All I’m saying is that… my instincts are never, ever wrong. And my instincts are yelling at the top of their lungs to say you, Blaze, are a perfect fit to be the new Face of Deception.


Sasha: Yes, I understand. I’ll be ready. Yes. Thank you.

[ Knock on door ]

Cody: Hi, Sasha. What’s, uh, with all the boxes? You planning on leaving Port Charles?

Sasha: Yes.

Cody: I don’t understand. You just got your life back and you’re gonna walk away from it?


Blaze: Deception generated a lot of negative publicity. I’m concerned about attaching myself to that legacy.

Sasha does have a troubled past, but there were some extenuating circumstances.

Blaze: Of course. I’m sorry for what she went through.

Yes, of course. Um, so are we. But, you know, just because we are looking for the new Face of Deception doesn’t reflect on Sasha at all. You know, come to think of it, any classic cosmetic companies, a lot of them change spokesmodels often.

True. Look at Fusion. They change theirs more than RuPaul changes wigs.

[ Chuckles ] Okay. So it’s time for Deception to go in a new direction.

Right. And we really do think you are the perfect fit. I mean, because you already are a known brand through your music. Yeah, you’d be working with a successful company in the cosmetics industry, and we would get access to your celebrity and your millions of fans who love your music.

[ Chuckles ] So…what do you say?

Blaze: Thank you, both of you. You’ve given me a lot to think about.

Ah. Well, you know, I don’t mean to be pushy at all, but we do need to know by the end of the week.

Blaze: Not a problem. I’ll have my manager contact you by the end of the week. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a plane to catch.

Lucy: Okay. I think that went well.

Maxie: But don’t you think we’re kind of putting the cart before the horse here?

Lucy: How so?

Maxie: Don’t you think we should have given Sasha some warning before we offered her job to somebody else?


Sasha: Cody, please come in. I’m really glad you stopped by.

Cody: Really? Because it sure looks like you were planning on leaving town without saying goodbye to me.

Sasha: I’m sorry. I, um, got caught up in packing once I decided to go.

Cody: But why are you leaving?

Sasha: Because everywhere I turn in this town reminds me of a mistake that I made or a person who I let take advantage of me. It’s too painful for me to live in Port Charles. I worry that if I stay here, I might get dragged back down again. I feel like I — I need to start over someplace new.

Cody: Where are you going?

Sasha: Austin.

Cody: Austin, Texas? No people there? Friends or family?

Sasha: No. I will meet people. I’ll make friends.

Cody: Make friends like — friends like Nina, Maxie? And Michael and Willow? Friends like me?


Sam: Okay. I’m sorry. I probably shouldn’t have brought up Sonny’s wedding. I’m sure it’s, like, a rough — rough subject for you.

Carly: I’m okay. And I’m not okay. I mean, it doesn’t mean that I haven’t moved past Sonny. Because I have. You know, I’m with Drew. And he makes me so happy. And my life is good, and it’s only gonna get better when Drew is out of prison. But I can’t say that Sonny marrying Nina doesn’t… it stinks.


Sasha: I don’t think I’ll ever meet anyone like you ever again.

Cody: Yeah. Of course not. [ Chuckles ] So why are you leaving town?

Sasha: Because I’m lost. Ever since I came to Port Charles, it’s been one mistake after another, starting with working with Valentin to convince Nina that I was her long-lost daughter. And then I got involved with Cyrus Renault, who got me hooked on drugs. Finally, I trusted Gladys, who took advantage of me when I was at my most vulnerable. Honestly, Cody, I don’t know why I keep making these epic mistakes. I’m putting my trust in all the wrong people.

Cody: I think I might know.


Lucy: Come on. Sasha did not deserve any of those bad things that happened to her. We know that. And even if we replace her as the Face of Deception, she’s still gonna be a shareholder. She’s still a partner in the company. It’s just that, for the good of Deception, we need a fresh face, really, one that the customers don’t associate with all those… public meltdowns. And I think Blaze is perfect to take us in that completely different direction. And, ultimately, that is gonna benefit Sasha, too.

Maxie: Lucy, from a business perspective, I totally get where you’re coming from. I just wish there was another way!

Lucy:I know!

Scott: Another way to what?

Hello there.

Hey.

Martin: Hey. Well, what’s with the long faces? Come on, ladies. What’s going on?

Deception business.

[ Cellphone dings ]

Maxie: [ Sighs ] I got an S.O.S. From my mom. And she’s watching my kids. So I’ll call her. I’ll be right back.

Okay.

What is all that about?

Lucy: Sometimes the beauty business is anything but glamorous.


Kristina: Dad, I know it was your idea to elope, but what was it? What wedding-planning moment pushed you over the edge? Was it the thought of a huge, 100-plus-person wedding or was it just that you didn’t want to wait a year to be husband and wife?

Sonny: I always wanted Nina to have the wedding she wanted to have, whatever made her happy. Then I started thinking, why do we have to have a special event? Why can’t we just go to my island, right? Because I love my island. Always loved my island. Got a staff there. They’ll take care of everything.

Kristina: And you? How hard did my father have to persuade you to give up the wedding you were planning — all the guests and everything — and elope?

Nina: Oh, I caved in less than a minute.

[ Laughter ]


Michael: Didn’t expect Amelia to fall asleep so fast. I thought she’d want to stay up with us since we’ve been gone.

Willow: Yeah.

Michael: And Wiley. He’s so content playing in his room. He loves that toy jet.

Willow: I can’t believe he’s already asking to fly back to Grandma and Grandpa’s island tomorrow.

Michael: Yeah. We’ll see what happens after I finish my business.

Willow: And, of course, I’m happy to be home and be back with Amelia, but I am sorry we had to leave Puerto Rico early. It’s just so peaceful and beautiful there. And I am disappointed we didn’t get to take Wiley to the ocean. I think he would have loved walking on the beach.

Michael: Yeah. I promise you we’ll — we’ll go back soon again, okay?

Willow: Well, maybe we can coordinate with Sonny and Nina and make it another family trip.


Kristina: Our dad first pitched the idea of eloping, it took me a second, but then I thought, why not? You know? It seems very intimate. And I said yes.

Nina: And then I saw you and Michael and Willow and Wiley and donna. And I was blindsided, but in the best possible way.

Kristina: Ohh. This was an awesome surprise. Gotta hand it to you, Dad. I mean, not just having me show up, obviously, but getting Carly’s permission to have donna there. And Michael and Willow and Wiley? Some epic powers of persuasion, Pops.

Sonny: I do what I can.

Kristina: You know, you never gave up on Michael, no matter how long he gave you the cold shoulder.

Sonny: Well, Michael, you know, had a lot of anger, but he let go of it and h-he left the decision up to Willow whether he was gonna come to the wedding.

Nina: And my daughter chose to come to our wedding, which is a turning point for Willow and me. And I owe it all to you.


Michael: I promise you, Willow. I will bring you and the kids back to the island. And if Sonny and Nina want to join us, then that’s great. I really want to show you and Wiley around the island. I think Amelia’s still a little too young to really appreciate it yet.

Willow: Well, it’ll still be nice to have her there with us. I love it when the family’s all together.

Michael: Yeah. Me too. I remember going there so frequently as a kid. I mean, those are some of the happiest times we had as a family when I was growing up.

Willow: And now you want to pass on that tradition to your own children.

Michael: I do. [ Sighs ] Okay. Wish I could stay, but I really got to get to this meeting.

Willow: Yeah, I would hope you do. Otherwise, Wiley and I could be on a beach in Puerto Rico.

Michael: Yeah. I know.

Willow: You never did say who you needed to meet with.

Michael: Uh, just some new information fell into my lap, and I just have to confirm it before I can take the next step. That’s all.

Willow: Sounds important.

Michael: Well, if it’s what I think it is, then, um, yeah, it could be a real game-changer.


Lucy: I just really feel that it’s important for Deception to go now in a different direction. Especially since the horrible lawsuit has been settled, it’s time for a fresh start.

Martin: Uh, about that, Lucy. I can’t tell you how sorry I am. I mean, I — I know how much it pained you to give up 51% of your company, especially to a person like Tracy Quartermaine.

Okay, let’s not go with that negative aspect.

Lucy: Ugh! I can’t help it. It’s a horrible, awful, bitter pill to swallow, though. And I know I need to move on, but I just — I can’t. I’m having a really hard time with this. I don’t know how. It’s just I know that I will never, ever, ever forgive or forget Tracy. I have to have faith in karma, though, don’t I, that one day Tracy will get exactly what she deserves. And if I have a chance to push that happening right away through karma, that’s what I’m gonna do. I’m just gonna get karma to move her on along.

Well, in the meantime, what do you say you and I move to my hotel suite where we can engage in a little bit of R&R? You know, room service and relaxation.

Lucy: Okay.

[ Cellphone rings ]

Martin: Perfect timing.

Lucy: Do you have — do you have to get that?

Martin: Yeah. Uh, forgive me. Just a sec. Martin Grey.

Michael: Martin, it’s Michael Corinthos. I need to see you in my office at Aurora right away.

Martin: Really? Well, it just so happens I’m in the middle of something.

Michael: Well, it’s in your best interest. I recently discovered that you made a serious mistake, and I’m gonna give you exactly one chance to make things right.


Carly: It’s now or never. Thank you so much for checking on me. I really appreciate it.

Sam: But you have so much on your plate.

Carly: No. I heard what happened with Sasha. I can’t believe what Gladys did to her! I never trusted that woman, ever!

Sam: Yeah, well, Sasha is doing as well as can be expected.

Carly: Well, she’s been through hell. And I’ve been in Ferncliff. It’s your worst nightmare.

Sam: No. I-I know. And the thought of Gladys taking advantage of Sasha’s guardianship is disgusting.

Carly: Yeah. I’m glad Sonny ran her out of town.

Sam: She’s lucky that’s all Sonny did to her. And I’m sure he made it very clear that she can never step foot in Port Charles again, let alone ever try to come near Sasha. She better not. I mean, there’s no reason for Gladys Corbin to ever come back to Port Charles. Sasha is finally free of Gladys. Thank God.


Cody: Sasha, I really think you’re being too hard on yourself. Look. You’re human. Humans make mistakes. Hundreds, if not, I mean, thousands a year. If we didn’t… I mean, yeah, life would be perfect. It’d also be completely boring. Trust me. I know what I’m talking about. I’m pretty much the king of messing up. I have made monumental, ginormous mistakes that were selfish… and…stupid. And that’s just since I parachuted into town. Trust me, if there’s a mistake to be made, I made it, ’cause I made them all.

Sasha: Name one.

Cody: One? Okay. Um, not going after Gladys sooner.

Sasha: That does not count. You were protecting me.

Cody: Okay. Alright. How about me working for Selina Wu? Not exactly a smart decision, is it?

Sasha: You tried to make some extra money. Yeah, it’s not the best person to get involved with, but, still, you — you were trying to do a job.

Cody: Wow. You are just determined to see the best in me, aren’t you?

Sasha: That’s because I owe a lot to you, Cody. And I really wish that you would see yourself the way that I do. Honestly, so far, you haven’t mentioned any mistakes that are really all that bad.

Cody: Okay, then. Here’s a doozy. How about the fact that my biological dad is actually here in Port Charles… and I lied to him and convinced him that I’m not actually his son?


Sasha: Cody, I don’t understand. If your dad lives here in town, why would you lie about it?

Cody: [ Chuckles ] I don’t know. ‘Cause I’m an idiot?

Sasha: Don’t say that.

Cody: Well, I-I don’t know how else to describe my decision. When the — the DNA results came back at G.H., I lied right to his face while I was holding in my hands the test results that said that Mac Scorpio is my biological father.

Sasha: The police commissioner Mac Scorpio?

Cody: That’s the one.

Sasha: Maxie’s stepfather?

Cody: Same guy.

Sasha: How?

Cody: It’s a — it’s a long story, but, essentially, Mac never knew that my mother was pregnant with me.

Sasha: Okay. But why not tell him now?

Cody: Leopold Taub. My mother’s late husband. I thought that if I could prove that I was his son, I could possibly get a lot of money. It’s not important now, but it had something to do with the WSB destroying the Ice Princess necklace, which belonged to Taub.

Sasha: So that’s it? You lied about Mac not being your dad because of money?

Cody: Well, no, that’s — that’s not the only reason.

Sasha: Then why? I mean, I don’t know Mac all that well, but… but all Maxie ever does is talk about what a great guy he is and how he’s always been a father figure to her, even though he’s not her biological dad.

Cody: Yeah. I-I know. And, see, that’s — that’s the thing, Sasha. In what world does a grifter like me deserve having a great dad? I mean, Mac — he’s honest. He’s loyal. He’s hardworking. He’s selfless. Not to mention he’s a cop. Why would he want a troublemaker like me as his son? The reality is…. I don’t deserve to have him as a father.


Maxie: Where’s Martin?

Lucy: Oh, uh, well, you know my Marty. He always has a full plate. And he got an important business call and had to dash.

Maxie: Well, speaking of important business, let’s get back to the Face of Deception.

Lucy: Okay, but I thought that it was all settled. I mean, if Blaze gives us the thumbs-up, then we do replace Sasha, but she still retains all her shares, which is a win-win for everybody.

Maxie: Maybe not.

Lucy: Uh… and what’s the problem?

Maxie: Did you forget about Tracy?

Lucy: Ooh, if only I could.

Maxie: Lucy, whether we like it or not, Tracy owns the majority of Deception. This is kind of a big business decision, so I think we need to run it by her.

Lucy: I am not going to bow to that woman. She is certainly not the boss of me. I mean, come on. She may have 51% of our company and 1% of my precious ELQ… but that doesn’t mean that I have to ask her permission to make a sound business decision. I don’t. Because we need to take Deception into a new direction, starting with a fresh, new face.

Maxie: You’re kind of acting like this is a done deal, and Blaze has not signed a contract yet.

Lucy: She said she wants to think about it. So, I really do have a good feeling about this.

Maxie: You know who’s not gonna have a good feeling about this? Sasha. I think we should tell her. She’s not only our business partner, but she’s our friend. Telling her is the right thing to do.


Blaze: Fancy meeting you here.

Kristina: Blaze? What in the world are you doing here?


Willow: Here you go, honey.

Wiley: Why didn’t Grandpa and Grandma fly home with us?

Willow: Well, we had to come back early because your daddy had a work emergency. But Grandma Nina and Grandpa Sonny stayed behind because they’re now on their honeymoon.

Wiley: What’s that?

Willow: It’s a vacation you take after you get married.

Wiley: I don’t get it. Why do you need a vacation after you get married? Does it make you that tired?


Nina: It’s beautiful here. I can see why you love it so much. It’s a perfect place to have a wedding and to spend our honeymoon.

Sonny: Yeah, I love it here. I mean, I… it’s always been like… my home away from home.

Nina: Well, thank you for sharing it with me.

Sonny: I mean, you’re my wife now. We’re gonna share everything. The good, the bad, the happy, the sad. We’re gonna share it all.


Martin: I do not enjoy being summoned… and I like being threatened even less, so unless you know something I don’t, I have no business here with you or Aurora.

Michael: Well, thank you for coming, Martin, and I can assure you, I didn’t imply any threat. I was just telling you the truth.

Martin: About what?

Michael: That you made a terrible mistake when you turned my mother and Drew Cain in to the SEC for insider trading.


Sasha: I can’t believe that you would say something like that. Listen to me. Any man would be so proud to call you their son, including Mac Scorpio.

Cody: I — [ Scoffs ]

Sasha: Look at what you did for me. And that was after I stabbed you.

Cody: Sasha, there were extenuating circumstances. You didn’t think you were stabbing me. You thought you were stabbing Cyrus Renault. And that’s just because Gladys and that unethical Dr. Montague were drugging you.

Sasha: It doesn’t matter. You sacrificed your freedom to help me. You weren’t afraid to go after Dr. Montague. What you did was so incredibly brave.

Cody: No. No, Sasha, you — you were the brave one. You went back into that hellhole where they were drugging you against your will. He was basically torturing you. And you did all that just to stop Montague.

Sasha: You call it brave. I call it desperate. Putting Montague behind bars and freeing myself from Gladys were just things that I needed to do in order to get my life back if I was ever gonna have one. Now that I do… I need to start from scratch.

Cody: Someplace else?


Sonny: Yes. I was gonna ask you about this turquoise bracelet. Is there some significance? ‘Cause I have never seen you wear that.

Nina: Ah.

Willow: This covers the old and the blue. I hope you like it.

Nina: It’s beautiful. And that it came from my — you.

Willow: So, it belonged to my m– it belonged to harmony. She gave it to me on my 16th birthday. And according to her, turquoise is supposed to bring peace, luck, and protection.

Nina: I love this. I love it. I will love it for the rest of my life.

Nina: You’re right. You haven’t seen it. Because it’s brand-new, and it’s incredibly significant, Sonny, because… it was a gift from my daughter.


Martin: I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Michael: Is that so?

Martin: And even if I did, this isn’t a courtroom, and you’re certainly not a judge, so if you’ll forgive me, I am under zero obligation to answer your allegation.

Michael: You don’t need to tap-dance around the issue here, Martin. I already know you’re the one who contacted the SEC and suggested that they investigate Drew and my mom for insider trading.

Martin: Regardless of whoever made the phone call, the simple fact is Mr. Cain was found guilty. Now, as to why he chose to be the fall guy for your mother, I have no idea. I mean, let’s be honest. She was the real guilty party. If anything, she’s the one who should be in prison.

Michael: My mom made a mistake. She was just trying to help me and Drew. But, you see, the merger between ELQ and Aurora, it never happened. My mom didn’t make any money. Hell, she lost her half of The Metro Court. See, now, most cases similar to my mom’s, the SEC would have just walked away. But this… see, there was someone working behind this case, pushing them to go forward. See, Martin, I know it wasn’t your idea to contact the sec. You were just working on your client’s behalf. Now, your client used you to inflict maximum damage on my family — to my mother, Drew’s daughter, my siblings, my uncle. Your actions caused a lot of pain, a lot of devastation for a lot of people. That’s why I called you here, Martin. Because I want to give you a chance. I’m giving you a chance… to save yourself. I’m giving you a chance to make amends.


Willow: And for dessert, chocolate pudding. One of your favorites.

Wiley: Thanks, mommy. [ Chuckles ] Grandpa Sonny and Grandma Nina should have had chocolate pudding at the wedding.

Willow: I’m so glad you had such a good time at the wedding.

Wiley: It was really fun. I love Grandpa Sonny and Grandma Nina so much.

Willow: I’m happy to hear that.

Wiley: You love them, too, right, Mommy?

Willow: I love our whole family.


Kristina: You are here, right? I only had two glasses of champagne — three now — at my dad’s wedding, so I know I’m not hallucinating.

Blaze: It’s me.

Kristina: Well, how are you even in Puerto Rico? When we were texting earlier, all you said was we should hang out when I get back to Port Charles. Turns out we didn’t have to wait that long to see each other again.

[ Chuckles ]


Carly: Hey.

Sam: Yeah.

Carly: Sam, when you see Sasha, will you just give her my best, please, and tell her if she needs anything, I’m here for her?

Sam: Yeah, I’m — I’m actually gonna get out of your — your hair. I just — I wanted to check in on my friend.

Carly: I’m glad you did. And look. I want you to know that even though Sonny marrying Nina stings, I love Drew. I adore him. And I’m devoted to him. And I’m never gonna forget the sacrifice he made for me. And it’s really important to me that you believe that.

Sam: I do. I do. And I know.

Carly: Okay. See ya.


Cody: Okay. Well… when are you leaving?

Sasha: The movers will be here tomorrow morning.

Cody: Wow. Um, look, Sasha, I — I totally understand you wanting to get a fresh start, but this — does it really have to be away from Port Charles? I mean, are you absolutely sure about that?

[ Knock on door ]

Maxie: Hi! What’s up with the boxes?

Cody: Sasha’s leaving town.

Maxie: You’re leaving Port Charles?

Sasha: I’m moving to Austin.

Maxie: What’s in Texas?

Cody: Nothing. And no one. That’s the point.

Sasha: I need a fresh start. Someplace that doesn’t hold painful memories. Every time I go to G.H., all I think about is losing my sweet Liam. And whenever I go to Charlie’s pub, I-I force a smile and I pretend to be happy. I might look happy, but… I can’t erase the images from my head. Brando laying on the ground and the — the rain washing away the blood from his chest. I mean, I can still hear myself screaming.

Maxie: My heart aches for you, Sasha, because I know exactly how you feel. When Nathan died, I wanted to run away. I wanted to be anywhere but here. And then I realized what is here. My friends and family who love me.

Sasha: Maxie, please. Don’t try to talk me out of it. I’ve made up my mind.


Maxie: I’m not trying to convince you to stay. I just want you to know that I understand the impulse to leave. You have to do what’s best for you.

Sasha: [ Sighs ] Honestly, Maxie, I don’t know what’s best for me. These past couple of months, I feel like I have been just living outside of myself, looking down, seeing this broken person locked in a room, curled up in a ball, unable to function because of the drugs that monster Montague forced on me.

Maxie: Maybe you were trying to detach yourself from the horrors of that place.

Sasha: Yeah. Maybe. But now I can see clearly again, and all I know is that I — I have to get away.

Maxie: Okay. Of course. I will support your decision, whatever that is. I do want you to know that Deception will not be the same without you.

Sasha: Look, I really hope that this does not make things difficult for you and Lucy. I am so sorry that — the last thing I want to do is —

Maxie: No, no. You have nothing to be sorry about.

Sasha: Thank you, Maxie. I’m so glad that you stopped by. Why did you stop by?

Maxie: I just missed my friend.


Kristina: Wait. But you didn’t come here just to see me, right?

Blaze: No.

Kristina: Okay.

Blaze: [ Laughs ] My abuela lives in Puerto Rico. That’s why I’m here. She hates to fly, so I visit her a lot. We’re really close.

Kristina: Aww. That’s sweet.

Blaze: Yeah. She’s great. She actually used to work at the hotel.

Kristina: Really?

Blaze: Yeah. Your dad owns the property, right?

Kristina: Yeah.

Blaze: I’m staying there.

Kristina: This is crazy. What a small world. But wait. How did you wind up here in the chapel?

Blaze: I decided to light a candle for my abuela and say a prayer. And then I walk in, and there you are.

Kristina: Here I am.

[ Both laugh ]

Blaze: It must be fate.

Kristina: It could be.


Nina: Look! A shooting star!

Sonny: Well, you know what you’re supposed to do when you see a shooting star, right?

Nina: Hmm?

Sonny: You’re supposed to make a wish.

Nina: Well, how am I supposed to make a wish when you have given me everything that I have ever wanted? I’m your wife now. You’re my husband. I love you so much.

Sonny: I love you, too. And you have changed my life in ways that I’m just beginning to understand.

Nina: Happy wedding day, Mr. Corinthos.

Sonny: Happy wedding day, Mrs. Corinthos.

Willow: Congratulations.

Nina: Thank you, Willow. You know, it means so much that you are here.


Martin: If I was acting on behalf of a client — and that is a big if — my actions would be covered by attorney-client privilege, which means I couldn’t possibly discuss it.

Michael: Hey. Look. Of course. I get that. I understand. I mean, what kind of attorney would you be if you broke that trust?

Martin: Good. I’m glad we understand each other.

Michael: Of course, though, I would have to then refer this issue to Sonny, and he’d handle it, you know, his way.

Martin: I s-see no reason to involve Mr. Corinthos. I mean, even if he came to me with the same question, the same privilege would still exist.

Michael: You see, that’s where you and I disagree. Because your client’s actions harmed Sonny’s family. Your client lied to him and continues to lie to him. Now, I think that Sonny needs to know that, don’t you? You see, Sonny — he doesn’t know that you’re involved. It can remain that way, provided you tell me the name of the person who’s actually responsible.

Martin: If I do that, it could ruin my reputation as a lawyer.

Michael: Martin, I already know that she’s the one. I just need you to confirm it. That or, you know, you can tell Sonny in probably much less comfortable circumstances.

Martin: Nina Reeves. I called the SEC at Nina Reeves’ direction and I suggested they investigate Drew Cain and Carly Spencer for insider trading.

Michael: Thank you, Martin. You can go now.

Martin: What are you gonna do?

Michael: I appreciate you meeting with me.

[ Door closes ]

Martin: Nina Reeves. I called the SEC at Nina Reeves’ direction and I suggested they investigate Drew Cain and Carly Spencer for insider trading.

Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne

 

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: I just– I just don’t want to think right now. I don’t– I don’t wanna think about Sheila. I don’t wanna think about my dad. I don’t wanna think about anything, really. Just, please, will you help me forget, Thomas?

Thomas: Of course, whatever you need. I love you, Hope.


Brooke: Do you know why we’re here? We’re here because our daughter came to me with tears in her eyes, begging me to get through to you.

Deacon: I never wanted to hurt Hope.

Sheila: It’s the last thing either one of us wanted.

Brooke: You have so much to lose, Deacon, especially with Hope. Tell Sheila to get lost, today!


Li: So, you ran right to RJ. Hm. Just like your mother, never taking responsibility.

Luna: Aunt Li, please. That’s not what happened.

RJ: She’s right. That isn’t what happened. I saw that she was incredibly upset and I begged her to tell me what was going on so that I could help her. She actually didn’t know that I invited you here today or when I asked Finn to come here to help back me up.

Li: Finn knows?

RJ: Every family has issues and mine’s no exception, okay? But Luna is not gonna be subject to whatever you dictate her life to be, or where she’s allowed to work, or how she’s allowed to live. You do not decide those things. She’s not leaving Forrester Creations.

Li: You know what you need to do. I am not asking. You say goodbye to Forrester Creations, say goodbye to RJ and never come back.

RJ: Luna is our newest intern. She’s smart, helpful, eager without overstepping, and she’s very sweet. She’s proven to be exceptionally valuable with the new line that my granddad and I are making, so we can’t lose her.

Luna: Look, I really appreciate the support, RJ, but I think I need to talk to my aunt alone and settle this once and for all.

RJ: You sure?

Luna: Yeah.

[ Door shutting ]

Li: Well, now that that nonsense is over, you can start packing. Make the smart choice and leave before things get even worse, Luna.


Sheila: I know this is hard for everyone to understand, but we care for one another.

Brooke: Is that true, Deacon? You really have feelings for Sheila?

Deacon: Brooke, you– you know me probably better than anyone and you know my strengths, my weaknesses–

Ridge: Is there a point to this?

Deacon: Look, I– I know this isn’t the answer that you want to hear, but just look at me in the eye. You can see it, can’t you? I can’t explain it. It’s true. I care about her.


Brooke: Deacon, what– what are you doing? How could you possibly, possibly have feelings for Sheila?

Deacon: I get it. I– I know. It’s crazy, right? I know I’m risking my future, my– my relationship with Hope, my friendship with you. I– I swear, I have tried to break up with her. I have. Every time I do, I go right back to her. I can’t explain it. We get each other. You know, we make each other happy. The misfits, the– the rejects, the criminals. We finally found someone who truly understands the other. I’m sorry that this has been such a shock to you and Hope. I’m just asking– I’m begging you, please, just keep an open mind to the possibility that maybe this could be a good thing.

Ridge: A good thing!

Deacon: Look, I vow to both of you that Sheila will never be a threat to you or your family.


Li: I should have known it was only a matter of time before you showed up. It’s always something.

Luna: I haven’t seen you in years, Aunt Li. No one even knew that I was related to you or Finn. I mean, why can’t you just let me–

Li: Let you what? Blow up my life like your mother has countless times before? She got pregnant, embarrassed our entire family. Make something of herself? Oh, no. She floated from one music festival to the next, doing her arts and crafts.

Luna: My mom’s talented.

Li: She’s a disappointment to our entire family. Our parents worked hard to give us opportunities. I’ve given back. What have we seen in return from your mother? Nothing!

Luna: She doesn’t have the money like you do.

Li: Oh, excuses. That’s all your mother ever has: Excuses. What’s your excuse, Luna, for being here at Finn’s family business, hm? Or am I supposed to believe that all this is a coincidence, that you didn’t realize exactly what you were doing?

Luna: I have always loved fashion, ever since I was little and you’d know that if you cared to learn about me. I mean, I never thought that an opportunity like this would be possible for me. I mean, have you ever given a thought about me, about what I want and my dreams? I have never been happier than I am being here at Forrester Creations. And I am not gonna let you take that away from me, Aunt Li.


Hope: I need to– I need to hear you say it.

Thomas: I love you, Hope. You have my total and undivided commitment.


 

Ridge: You’re gonna keep us safe from Sheila? In what world is that a possibility?

Deacon: I’m not getting through to you, am I? Look, I believe that people change for two reasons: fear and love, okay? And all Sheila’s life, she’s been afraid that she would never have love and that has caused her to do terrible things, but she’s changed now because she’s finally found love with me.

Brooke: Love?

Ridge: You– you do know she’s not capable of that, right?

Deacon: She’s not the same woman anymore. I’m, I’m just asking that you and Hope– you too, Ridge– just consider the possibility, all right? Please. I promise, she’s never gonna be a threat to you or Steffy or anyone in your family. I guarantee it.


Li: Look at Luna, all grown up, standing up for herself. Or so she thinks. The world isn’t a playground, Luna. It doesn’t owe you. I certainly don’t. You have to grind and sacrifice and never stop achieving until you make it. Something you’ve never been exposed to from your mother.

Luna: I’m not gonna let you make me feel small and unimportant, the same way you do to my mom. You’re the older sister. You should reach out to her and help her. Okay, so– so you’re a doctor. Sure, I’m impressed, but that doesn’t give you the right to treat me and my mom this way. Finn was shot. We wanted to be there for him and for you, but you didn’t let us. I mean, who does that? We’re family. So much has gone on that you’ve completely excluded us from, but I’m not gonna let you exclude me from this, Aunt Li. This is my opportunity, one that I’ve been waiting for for my entire life. I’m not gonna let you or anyone else take that away.


Sheila: Thank you.

Deacon: Ah, I didn’t do anything.

Sheila: Oh, like hell you didn’t. You stood up for me in front of Brooke and Ridge. I’ve never felt that kind of support before, kind of love.

Deacon: Well, you better get used to it because I love you, Sheila.

Sheila: I love you.


Thomas: You got me, Hope, and I’ve always loved you. This is a dream come true.

[ Door knobs rattling ]

Brooke: Hope? Hope, are you in there? Why is the door locked?

Thomas: Of course.

Hope: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[ Hope clearing her throat ]

Brooke: Hi.

Thomas: Hi.

Brooke: You have got to be kidding me.


Luna: Look, I don’t mean to upset you or be disrespectful, Aunt Li, which is honestly more than I can say for how you’ve been treating my mom and me, but I’m not leaving Forrester Creations. RJ doesn’t want me to go. But more importantly, I don’t want to go. This is my dream and I’ve worked so hard to get here. You may scare my mom, but you don’t scare me.

Li: You and I both know what a mistake you’re making. Just remember, I gave you a chance to make all of this go away, for you and your mom.

[ Luna sighing ]

RJ: Hey… I, uh, saw your aunt headed to the elevator. Glad it was her, not you. So, does that mean… you did it. You stood up to her. I knew! I knew you could do it. Wow, I’m so proud of you. I mean, I know that wasn’t easy, from everything you told me about her, right?

Luna: Thank you so much.

RJ: Thank me? What did I do?

Luna: You defended me, and you gave me the confidence to stand up to my aunt. I’ve always been so intimidated by her. Not today, because of you. I don’t wanna leave. I love being here and I love being with you, RJ.


Hope: Look, I know this isn’t what you were expecting, Mom, but we don’t need the lecture.

Brooke: I just came from seeing Deacon and Sheila, like you begged me to.

Hope: What? How did it go?

Brooke: Do you mind? I really need to talk to my daughter, alone.

Thomas: Ah. Sure.

Brooke: Oh, my God. [ Brooke sighing ] Ah, okay. Well, this isn’t how I expected the day to go. First, I go over to see Deacon and Sheila is there, then I come back here to talk to you about that and here you are, shacking up with Thomas, once again.

Hope: Well, could we maybe not make the comparison between us and dad and Sheila? So, tell me, what happened?

Brooke: Uh, same as what happened with you, I suppose. I went over there and tried to talk to him and he says that he’s in love with Sheila, that we don’t need to worry about her, that she’s not a threat to us anymore. So, needless to say, I couldn’t get through to him. But, I certainly hope that I can get through to you about Thomas.

Hope: No, Mom, I really don’t wanna hear that right now.

Brooke: Hope.

Hope: Mom, seriously, you have made your feelings about Thomas very clear to me, okay? But I can make my own decisions.

Brooke: What has gotten into you?

Hope: I don’t know. Is that the answer you want, Mom? Honestly, I don’t know. All I know is that Thomas and I, we are two consenting adults and we don’t have to justify our relationship to anyone.

Brooke: Relationship? I know you don’t love him.

Hope: Yeah, Mom, he knows. I have made it perfectly clear to him.

Brooke: What about him? I mean, has he been honest with you? Honest with himself? Because I know he loves you, honey.

Hope: Yeah. Yeah, he does. And it feels great.

Brooke: My god, what are you doing? You are playing with fire. You know that, right? He was obsessed with you, Hope. I know you haven’t forgotten that. He’s like a ticking time bomb, ready to go off. Okay, maybe he’s controlling himself right now, but what I’m worried about is if he can’t control his emotions and his feelings any longer. What then? What is he going to do then? What?

Thomas: Let me love you. Let me love you the way that no one else can.

Hope: But I’m not in love with you, Thomas. I don’t want to take advantage of your feelings for me.

Brooke: I’m scared for you, Hope. Thomas is dangerous. He’s dangerous!

Chloe: Now, the fabric was supposed to be at the warehouse yesterday, not that anyone keeps their word anymore, but they promised me. And I’m old school. A promise still means something. Yeah, okay, well, if they want to continue working with us, they better get their act together. Yes, and mean what they say. Old school. Okay, thanks. We’ll talk later. Bye. Okay, out with it.

[ Sally sighs ] What’s up?

Sally: Hi, chloe, um, nothing’s up. I’m good. I’m fine.

Chloe: You wanna try again?

Sally: What?

Chloe: Well, you don’t look fine.

Sally: Thanks.

Chloe: Would you rather I lied?

Sally: Maybe.

Chloe: Frankly, you look terrible. Like maybe you lost a best friend.

Sally: It’s honest and ironic.

Chloe: Okay, well, you didn’t lose me. You wanna tell me what’s happening?

Sally: Look, you really don’t want to hear my problems.

Chloe: Of course, I do. What happened?

Sally: I think I did lose my best friend. Just not sure which one.

Adam: Hey, nick.

[ Adam sighs, clears throat ] Have you, um, heard anything about dad?

Nick: I know he’s back from his trip.

Adam: I know, um, that’s not what I was talking about.

Nick: Then what are you talking about?

Adam: I’m– I’m– I’m– I’m worried about him.

Nick: Worried about him, why?

Adam: He called me nicholas at the office, and then, when i asked him about it, thinking he was joking, he had no idea that he even said it.

Nick: I guess, I’m just not seeing the severity.

Adam: He thought I was you.

Nick: Well, maybe, that’s wishful thinking.

Adam: Okay, nick, our father could be in trouble, okay? This is how things start.

Nick: What things?

Adam: Mental issues. Memory loss, confusion, mentally in trouble. Sorry, I thought you might care about things like that.

Nick: Wanna know what I care about? Not hearing one more word from you. I don’t want to hear about you or our father or anything else you have to say.

Adam: Okay, well, you are obviously pissed off. I mean, where is this coming from?

Nick: I don’t want to have a brotherly conversation with you. You have managed to screw up pretty much every aspect of my life and I’m done.

Nikki: So, you called adam by nicholas’s name and you say you did it on purpose. Why would you do that?

Victor: It was just– it was a joke, you know?

Nikki: I don’t think he found it amusing.

Victor: Mm, probably not. The problem is that kids think they can outmaneuver me. I have another thing coming.

Nikki: I don’t like the sound of that.

Victor: Victoria walks around as if nothing has happened. I know she’s seething that I stepped back in.

Nikki: Well, of course she is. You demoted her and took her place.

Victor: What do you think she’s gonna do with her anger? What do you think? Then, adam, adam walks around smiling after he’s picked up nate hastings dry cleaning. Who’s he trying to fool?

Nikki: I was against your giving him even that opportunity.

Victor: I mean, the long and the short of it is, I don’t know who I can trust.

Nikki: Darling, you can trust victoria and nicholas. And me.

[ Victor sighs ]

Adam: What has gotten into you, nick?

Nick: You. You have gotten me. And the fact that I’m not punching you in the face right now shows how much restraint I’m able to use.

Adam: Well, I guess I should thank you for that.

Nick: You’re not worth it.

Adam: I will keep that in mind.

Nick: I’ll tell you what. You keep this in mind. You stay away from me.

Adam: Nick, this is high vitriol, I mean, even for you. What I did must be pretty bad, but obviously, since you’re not going to tell me, I guess I will just sit and finish my drink.

Nick: Just shut up and you stay clear of me. I don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. We clear? Okay, again, this is a status bar. boring.

Sally: Look, chloe, you are my very good friend. My very busy friend, between your husband and your kids, and your amazing new job at marchetti.

Chloe: I’m not too busy to listen.

Sally: Yeah, but it’s not fair for me to unload my drama on you.

Chloe: Friends don’t unload, sally. They share and that’s what it means to be a friend. You know, you’re here no matter what.

Sally: You’re really not going to like what you’re going to hear.

Chloe: Come on, you’re clearly going through something and I want to help if I can.

[ Sally inhales ]

Sally: Adam kissed me.

Chloe: Oh. Okay. How did that happen?

Sally: [ Chuckles ] Well, it wasn’t supposed to happen. Um, we went to dinner and we had drinks. Too many drinks, and we talked and– and it was good. And then, he walked me to my door and–

Chloe: He kissed you.

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s adam. Never a missed opportunity. You didn’t kiss him back, did you?

Sally: No. Maybe. I– I–

[ Sighs ] I really don’t know. I just haven’t been able to think straight since then.

Chloe: I get it, uh, I mean, I think I get it. What about nick?

[ Sally scoffs ]

Sally: I blew it, chloe. I mean, I just felt so guilty and so wrong, and the whole thing was a mistake and– and… so, I confessed to nick because I couldn’t not tell him. It wasn’t fair.

Chloe: The whole fair/not fair thing gets kind of murky sometimes. How did he take it?

Sally: Not well.

Chloe: Yeah, of course not.

Sally: I mean, the thing is, I thought that I was in love with him. I mean, I know what an amazing man he is and it just took me so long to tell him that I actually was in love with him and that I was sure that he was the man for me, that when I did, he had a hard time believing it and I really don’t blame him for doubting me.

Chloe: Can you stop being so hard on yourself?

Sally: How can I not?

Chloe: Because you have been through so much. It stands to reason why you’ve been so confused. Nick loves you. He’s an amazing man and I’m sure he’ll come around.

Sally: I’m really not so sure about that.

Chloe: Why? What did he say?

Sally: He thinks that I still have unresolved feelings for adam.

Chloe: Do you?

[ Sally chuckles ]

Sally: I really don’t know what I feel. But it really doesn’t matter because nick wants to end our relationship until I figure it out. He doesn’t trust me anymore and… I– I really don’t know if I trust myself.

[ Nick sighs ]

Adam: Nick.

Nick: What is this? What the hell are you doing?

Adam: Listen, you can’t lob a grenade like that and then just walk off like you have nothing more to say.

Nick: There is nothing more to say. I guess you weren’t listening earlier.

Adam: Just tell me. Is this still about me kissing sally? Okay, I told you I was wrong. It was impulsive. I’ve apologized to her and I’ve apologized to you, but if you need me to say it again, I’m sorry.

Nick: You’re damn right it was impulsive because you can’t control yourself and to hell with everyone else, they’re just collateral damage. I have no idea what sally ever saw in you.

Adam: Okay, no, nick, wait–

Nick: Get your hands off me.

Adam: Okay. Sorry. I’m not trying to start anything, I’m just–

Nick: What? You what, adam? You’re impulsive?

Adam: It won’t happen again. Okay, from now on, I’ll keep my distance.

Nick: You’re a disgrace to the newman family.

Victor: I have two children, adam and victoria, who obviously don’t like each other, can’t stand each other. I stepped back into my company, the company I own, and that seems to piss everyone off. And there’s nicholas, who doesn’t give a damn about any of it. And in the middle of it all, nate hastings. I’m beginning to have the feeling that I can trust him, that he’s loyal.

Nikki: I don’t know if that’s a good decision. I mean, if he can stab devon and lily in the back, his own family, what makes you think he won’t do it to you?

Victor: Well, that remains to be seen. I know that one of them will try to betray me from the inside.

Nikki: So, you don’t trust anybody anymore? Darling, you’re sounding a little paranoid.

Victor: Sweetheart, I have reasons.

Nikki: All right, well, then, fire nate and adam. Then, maybe, nicholas will change his mind and come back to the company. Unless, of course, you’ve decided you can’t trust him either. Am I on your watch list as well?

Rsv can severely affect

the lungs and lower airways.

Victor: You’re my lover. You’re my confidant. I trust you implicitly.

Nikki: But not our daughter. Victor, you have always relied on your infallible mind to detect everybody’s motives, but this time, I think you’re off the mark.

Victor: And sweetheart, my infallible mind has always told me to watch my back, okay? And so far, that has stood me in good stead all these years, hasn’t it?

Nikki: I can’t argue with that.

Victor: Good. I want you to know that you have nothing to worry about.

Nikki: Well, you’re in charge again. Why don’t you fire adam and nate if you think one of them will betray you?

Victor: I’m gonna watch them carefully, very carefully from now on.

Nikki: Even victoria?

Victor: [ Sighs ] I hope, I deeply hope, that she is not going to be the one who will plunge the knife into my back.

Nikki: Victor, she would never do that. And what happens when she realizes that you didn’t trust her?

Victor: She’ll understand.

Nikki: No, she won’T. She’ll be mad as hell. I mean, do you really want to incur that anger? I don’t understand this, victor. What is happening to you?

Victor: Don’t you worry, all right? I have reasons to believe that someone is out to stab me in the back. My suspicions have always been justified in the past. I don’t trust them, really don’T. They’re all interested in getting ahold of this empire and I won’t let them. Not as long as I live. They will not take over. No one will take over.

Chloe: Well, nick is wrong to let this blow you two apart. There’s nothing to figure out. You just need to go to nick and tell him how you feel and convince him that you’re sincere.

Sally: What if I’m not?

Chloe: Okay, well, don’t even think that way.

Sally: Well, I’m– I’m serious, chloe. I mean, what if nick is right? What if I can’t love him the way that he needs me to? I really don’t know anything anymore.

Chloe: Sally, you do know. You told me that you love nick. And that adam is in your rear view mirror. That is what you know. Now, you just need to go to nick and prove to him that he knows that too.

[ Sally chuckles ]

Sally: Oh, this reminds me of when I was in like, seventh or eighth grade and I was madly in love with these two really cute boys at the exact same time.

Chloe: Well, we were all really confused as kids.

Sally: Yeah, but I wasn’t confused, I knew that I loved them both.

Chloe: Well, you’re all grown up now.

Sally: Yeah, apparently, when you’re a grown up, you’re supposed to know your heart well enough to know who’s going to make you happy for the long haul and try not to hold on to them both.

Chloe: Listen to your heart. Let it tell you who wins.

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: No matter the answer?

Chloe: I know the answer. It’s going to tell you that it’s nick. He loves you. And adam, adam is just a part of your past, nothing more.

Sally: And what if it doesn’t tell me that? What if it tells me something completely different?

Victoria: Well, that’s a familiar sight, the two of you going at each other.

Adam: Well, unbelievable. Our brother’s a little out of control, isn’t he?

Victoria: Mm. Well, with you, that’s not really surprising.

Adam: Well, I’m not saying that this time, it wasn’t unmotivated.

Victoria: You know, I’m not really interested in how it started and I’m not wanting to be a referee for my brother’s cage match. And frankly, I suspect that nick’s not buying this new adam thing any more than I am. In fact, nobody’s buying this so-called turnaround of yours.

Adam: Okay, well, as usual, you don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. My fight with nick is not about work or my so-called turnaround. It’s actually a personal issue.

Victoria: You’re right. I jumped to conclusions, something that I often do when you’re around, I’m sorry.

Adam: Did you actually just say that you’re sorry?

Nick: Every time I’m with you… it never fails to make me want to spend more time with you.

Sally: Well, then, I guess, the question becomes… what are we really? You know, are we just friends? Or… is this going somewhere?

Nick: I sure hope so.

Sally: Adam asked to walk me back to my suite after dinner, I agreed.

Nick: Then, he kissed you?

Sally: Yeah, he– [ Exhales ] He kissed me good night, but he instantly regretted it and he said he was sorry.

Nick: I highly doubt my brother regretted anything. He took advantage of the fact that I was gone.

Sally: No, no.

Nick: “Nick’s out of town. Let me real quick try and seduce sally and see if I can convince her to dump him and get back with me.”

Sally: No, nick, that’s not what happened.

Nick: That is exactly what happened. This is how my brother operates. It’s who he is. You need to stop this. You need to leave her alone for sally’s benefit, mine and definitely yours. You know me. My patience has a limit.

Adam: You– you’re absolutely right, okay? I’m sorry, I crossed the line. What I did was wrong on every level and I want to apologize sincerely to you and to sally.

Nick: “That spectra woman.” You know how insulting that sounds? It’s as if you don’t know who she is or have spent any time with her, or know that she is capable and smart or what a creative, hard working woman she actually is.

Victor: Warms the cockles of my heart. I know that you and your brother are involved in a triangular relationship with that woman. No good. You need to hear what I’m about to tell you. Sally spectra is nothing but a symptom of the rivalry between you and your brother. She’d be gone one day, forgotten. What remains is a poisoned relationship between you and adam. I’m warning you, if you choose that woman over family, you will live to regret it, I promise you. So I didn’t think I needed swiffer,

Victoria: It’s, um– it’s hard not to give in to instincts with you, but I told dad that I would give you a chance. Hence the apology.

Adam: [ Scoffs] Okay. So, you didn’t mean it. You were just pretending.

Victoria: And nate has convinced me that I should consider your accomplishments before I write you off.

Adam: Well, that must be very hard for you, considering how you feel about me. You know, speaking of our father, have you, uh, noticed anything odd about him?

Victoria: What do you mean by odd?

Adam: Um, being forgetful, memory issues.

Victoria: No, why? Have you noticed anything?

Adam: Oh, it’s– it’s probably nothing, but, um, he called me nicholas and then he got pissed off when I brought it up. You know, I thought he was doing it intentionally to put me down, but then I realized he didn’t even know that he had done it. He actually denied it.

Victoria: Well, maybe he just made a mistake and he felt embarrassed.

Adam: Okay, when is our father ever been embarrassed about anything? I mean, you should know that better than anybody. He owns every thought he has and every move that he makes.

Victoria: You’re not wrong.

Adam: Wow. That’s twice in one day. Apology and an acknowledgment. You are really trying. Okay. See you, sis.

[ Phone ringing ]

Nick: What’s up, vic?

Victoria: Hey, can we meet?

Nick: I’m not in the mood, all right? I’m tired of everyone trying to convince me I need to come back to newman.

Victoria: No, nick, it’s not about that. It’s important. Please.

[ Nick sighs ]

Nikki: I hate when you shut me out thinking that you’re doing it for my own good.

Victor: I’m asking you to be patient. Eventually, I’ll tell you everything.

Nikki: Fine. I know better than to keep pushing at this point.

Victor: Whatever happens, I know that I can trust you to keep your suspicions to yourself.

Nikki: Hating it all the while.

Victor: Whatever happens, however this unfolds… you’ve got to trust me.

Sally: I hate that I still have these feelings for adam, but I’m just so sick of pretending like I don’T.

Chloe: Well, it sounds like adam isn’t making things any easier for you.

Sally: No, he’s just forcing me to face the truth and nick’s doing the same thing.

[ Sighs ] So, I just have to say it just to get said. I do still have feelings for adam. Nick is right. He and I have unresolved issues.

Chloe: Okay, just– just stop saying that. This– this is all about adam. Adam getting what he wants, no matter who he has to manipulate and who he has to hurt in the process. Don’t be fooled by him, sally.

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: Yeah, I don’t know. I guess I have been a fool when it comes to him. I just– I don’t know what to think.

Chloe: You do know. You do know. It’s– it’s just that you don’t want to think it, okay? Look, I was married to billy abbott, for god’s sake. I– I know firsthand how hard it is to get bad boys out of your system, even when they have just put you through so much pain and so much trouble, just like adam has done to you. You can still have feelings for him. Yuck. But… it doesn’t mean that you need to act on those feelings. I mean, you’re not going to get back together with him, right? And you’re going to do everything possible to fumigate him from your system, correct?

Sally: I’ve tried that.

Chloe: Okay, well, then try harder because I refuse to believe that you and nick can’t figure this out. I mean, there are too many reasons to fix that relationship. Nick loves you. He’s an amazing man. And he would never do anything to hurt you. Am I wrong?

Sally: No, you’re not.

Chloe: Besides, you just launched a business together. I mean, what are you gonna do about that?

Sally: Oh, I don’t know. I don’t know.

Chloe: Okay, but you do know some very important things. You ended this relationship with adam for a good reason. He brings you nothing but pain. And nick… I mean, nick is the way to happiness. So, what you need to do is, you just need to go to nick and tell him that you’re ready to let go of the past, but you need to do it now. Still living with odors?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. At the home depot, you’ll find top-brand kitchen appliances

Adam: Hey, so what is going on with nick? I mean, he’s pretty riled up. He almost punched me a few minutes ago.

Chloe: You know, uh, sally and I are just still wrapping up this conversation, so you think you could give us, like, uh, I don’t know, like, a minute? You see that? Nick almost punched the guy, which means he’s angry, so that means he still cares.

Sally: Yeah, or maybe he’s just angry at me.

Chloe: Well, anger is passion. And if there’s passion, there’s still a chance. Don’t tell yourself otherwise, so go do what you need to do.

Sally: God, I cannot believe I’m dealing with all this right now.

Chloe: Okay, well, if not now–

Sally: No, I know, it was just I’m creating a company, you know? I’m supposed to be focusing on that.

[ Sally sighs ] If I even still have a company. Bye.

Adam: Hey, sally. Sally. Whatever it is, can I help?

Sally: Uh, no, you cannot help.

Adam: Okay. Well, then can we go somewhere and– and talk at least?

Sally: Um, those days are over. I have a meeting to get to.

Victoria: Thank you.

Nick: Thank you.

Victoria: So, did you order that iced tea for my benefit? So, I don’t think you’re drinking right now.

Nick: Wish I was getting drunk. It sounds like a great idea.

Victoria: I’m sorry, nicholas. I’m also very worried about you. You look like hell.

Nick: Thank you. You wanted to meet. What’s up?

Victoria: I saw you and adam tearing into each other at the park. What was that about?

Nick: It’s personal. I don’t want to get into it.

Victoria: [ Laughs ] Okay.

Nick: Is that all you want to talk about?

Victoria: No, absolutely not.

Nick: Okay, then what else you got?

Victoria: I have more confirmation that something is off with dad.

Nick: Vic, this again? Come on.

Victoria: I know that you’re not in the right place for this, obviously right now, but please just hear me out. Dad called adam by your name, and then he claimed that he didn’t, and then he got mad at adam for pointing it out.

Nick: Adam already told me all about this. I hardly think it constitutes a reason for dad to start therapy. All right, why can’t you just let this go? Dad demoted you and he took your place. It’s not a sign of diminished capacity.

Victoria: I wish you would stop thinking that’s all this is. It’s more than that.

Nick: Dad had been demoting and disowning and firing his whole life and he’s doing that right now. Now, the way I see it, you got two choices. You can either step up and deal with it or just walk away.

Claire: Is everything okay?

Nikki: Oh, claire, I didn’t see you there.

Claire: Sorry I scared you. I used to accidentally do that to my great-aunt all the time and always took her days to calm down.

Nikki: So, I have more of this to look forward to?

Claire: I’ll be sure not to surprise you again.

[ Nikki sighs ]

Nikki: Oh, how sweet of you. That’s so sweet. Thank you. It’s just what I needed.

Claire: Why don’t you take a seat and let me get this for you, nikki. I don’t want to overstep, but is everything okay? Tell me to butt out if it is.

Nikki: [ Sighs ] Well, you are very intuitive. Or I can’t hide things very well. Thank you.

Claire: Is there anything I can do?

Nikki: No, no, no, e– everything is fine. I’m just dealing with some family issues.

Claire: Hm. Those can definitely be troubling.

Nikki: Oh, yes. Never a dull moment at the newman household. You’ll catch on to that pretty soon, but for now, there’s really nothing for you to be concerned about.

Claire: Understood. I’m a very good listener, though, if you ever need one.

Nikki: Thank you, claire. That’s good to know.

(Music box playing)

Nikki: Entities as large as newman enterprises obviously come with inherent difficulties, even when it is family owned. I– there’s bound to be disagreements from time to time.

Claire: I imagine there are conflicts, especially with the various dynamic personalities your children are blessed with.

Nikki: Well, that’s one way of looking at it.

Claire: Look at victoria. I’m so impressed by all of her accomplishments.

Nikki: Oh, she’s an amazing woman. Victor and I are very proud.

Claire: It’s a tribute to yourself and mr. Newman how successful both of your children are. Am I being nosy?

Nikki: No, not at all. I appreciate your compassion. But everything will work out. It always does.

Claire: Stop worrying about the potholes in the road and enjoy the journey, even when it’s rocky. My great-aunt likes to say that.

Nikki: She sounds very wise, as do you. She has taught you well.

Claire: Yes, she has.

Victoria: You know, I’m really sick of this accusation that I’m not really concerned about dad and that I’m just mad at him because I got demoted. Did you ever think for one second that maybe dad’s not up to this challenge that he’s taken on and that maybe the reason that he stepped back in the first place is because he senses that he’s slowing down? You know, there’s no real justification for him coming back?

Nick: Can you hear yourself, vic? You know exactly why dad came back. He was watching his company fracture and he’s not the kind of man who’s just going to sit back and say, “hey, good luck with that.”

Victoria: But that’s just it, nick. Newman is not fractured. It’s stronger than it’s ever been. And for dad to think that, I mean, it’s just a sign. It’s a sign that he is not thinking clearly.

Nick: Dad wanting to come back and take control of his own company is not a symptom of him losing his mind.

Victoria: Oh, god, you know, everybody sees dad as this god. That he’s immortal or he’s infallible, but he’s not. He’s a human being who’s aging. He’s had multiple medical issues in the past. I know, I know, we don’t want to think about the future. We certainly don’t want to say the words out loud, but dad is in a crisis. Even if you refuse to see it.

Nick: There’s nothing to see.

Victoria: Okay, well, what if you’re wrong? What if you’re wrong and– and we do nothing about it and then it gets worse? Are you gonna be able to live with that?

Chloe: Why do you have to ruin everything? You are the worst. I am so sick of watching you destroy people’s lives.

Adam: Maybe you should try shooting me again. With better aim this time.

Chloe: Maybe. Nah. Too busy.

Sharon: Oh, for god’s sake, what have you done now? Hi, my name is damion clark. And if you have both medicare and medicaid, I have some really encouraging news that you’ll definitely want to hear.

Sharon: Please tell me that was not about sally.

[ Adam sighs ]

Adam: What– what if it was? Why is it so insane that I want a future with her, sharon?

Sharon: Because sally is with nick. She loves nick. You have to let this go, adam. I told you before. Leave it alone.

Adam: Mm-hmm. I haven’t done anything since the last time we spoke, but something has happened with nick and sally. Something has broken down between them.

Sharon: How do you know?

Adam: Nick almost decked me earlier, okay? He’s mad at everything and everyone, but particularly me and I’m guessing it has something to do with sally.

Sharon: And if that’s the case, the two of them will resolve it themselves, one way or another. It’s not an opening for you to push yourself in between them. I’m telling you, adam, it’s time to walk away.

Adam: Yeah, I– I can’t promise you that, sharon. I believe that nick and sally are finished. Their relationship is over.

Sharon: You don’t know that.

Adam: Okay, well let me tell you what I do know is sally and I, we belong together. It’s inevitable.

Sharon: Wow, you really don’t care who you hurt, do you?

[ Sally sighs ]

Sally: Nick, please call me back. Just give me a chance to talk to you. It is not what you think. This can’t be the end of us. We can get through this.

[ Sally sighs ]

[ Nick grunting ]

Victor: Son. Talk to me.

Daniel: There is a spare bedroom with your name on it whenever you’re in town.

Danny: Does that include extended stays?

Daniel: Why?

Danny: I was thinking about hanging around genoa city a little longer than I expected.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ]

[ Panting ] Hang on a second.

[ Exhaling sharply ] Hey. Hey, aunt stella. Is this a bad time? No, not at all, if you don’t mind waiting for me to finish another set. Oh, not at all. Come on in.

[ Exhaling heavily ] Nobody else here? No, just me. You think they shouldn’t have left me alone? Did I say that? No. I know you’ve been on your own for a while now, and you’re doing just fine.

[ Grunts ] Keeping track of me, huh? Always have. I’m not gonna change now.

[ Chuckles ] Working hard there. Yeah, well, you know — very impressive. Just trying to keep it all together. Yeah, well, you’re doing better than keeping it all together. I am very proud of you, curtis. Thank you, auntie. You know, all these exercises — in fact, everything I do — it’s for trina and portia… and marshall. How’s that? Oh, you know, uh… every morning there’s a part of me that just — just doesn’t even want to get out of bed. You know? And then I think about my family. They need me. And I will not let them down.

[ Knock on door ] I’ll get it. I’ll get it. What do you want? I heard a rumor going around. Yeah, the buzz is totally positive. No, no, no, I have no idea what you’re talking about, dr. Ashford. Aw, come on, spill, spill. No, no, no, no, no, I don’t want to talk about it yet. I don’t want to talk about it yet, not until I get a chance to tell curtis. And I want to tell him in person. He’s gonna be so hurt if he finds out that everyone at gh knew before he did. So that’s why I’m trying to sneak out of here — so I can see him. He’s going to be thrilled. Can I help you? Hi, giles. You probably don’t remember me, but I’m josslyn jacks. I’m avery’s older sister. Of course. What can I do for you, ms. Jacks? I’m looking for ava. She never picked avery up from the nanny last night. Please come in.

[ Door buzzes ] Another visitor during off hours? Hello, cyrus. Austin: Medically speaking, cyrus renault is still recovering from his heart attack, a heart attack that has done irreparable damage to his heart and left him extremely weak. I do not believe that he is physically a threat to anybody. ‘Cause he’s weak, yeah. Weak, like a great white shark is weak. Austin: I have done exactly what you’ve asked me to do. Now you let ava go. Mason: Oh, you know by now. Neither one of us is calling the shots.

[ Knock on door ] Come in. I’m sorry to bother you, dr. Gatlin-holt. Have you seen ava jerome?

[ “Bridal chorus” plays ]


Gracias por venir a todos.

Bienvenidos. Welcome, everyone. We have been blessed with a beautiful day to witness the joining in matrimony of michael “sonny” corinthos and nina reeves. This is a joyful occasion. And a solemn one. Marriage, as the traditional ceremony, is an honorable one, not to be entered into lightly, but a pledge between two people to honor, support, and love one another for the rest of your lives. Sonny, nina? Is that a pledge you are willing to make? We are. Yeah, we are. I’m here to see my friend.

[ Scoffs ] You don’t have any friends here. And no way are you buying any with that gift basket. Curtis: It’s okay, aunt stella. Selina is A… business associate. Uh-huh. By all means.

[ Speaks chinese ] Your aunt is very protective. I admire that in family. Excuse me. Selina, what are you doing here? You’ve been back home for a while now. I thought I would give you some time to get accustomed to your new life. That was considerate. I hope now you’ve come to your senses and are ready to sell me the savoy. What an unexpected and wonderful surprise. I didn’t know you were back from your trip. We just got back. And you chose to come and see me. I’m — I’m touched. You cut your hair and you shaved and…

[ Sighs ] You know, since I found my true calling, I didn’t feel the need to hide behind appearances.

[ Chuckling ] Oh. I see. Well, uh, you look great. So, tell me — how are you feeling? Our brother told you about my little medical problem. I don’t know that I would call a heart attack a little medical problem. And I am very glad that marty told me. Did he also tell you that it was your aura that pulled me through in my darkest hour? It was drew cain who saved your life. Without the will to live, his cpr might not have been effective. But he is a good man. Yes, he is. He’s a very good man. That’s why it’s such a shame that he’s in here with… with men like me.

[ Chuckles ] I get the feeling that checking on my health isn’t the only reason you’re here. Um, I heard about your application for early release. I see. So, are you here as my sister or as the mayor? I’m also concerned about ms. Jerome’s whereabouts. So she hasn’t been here? She was home when I left, but that was the night before last. She didn’t mention any plans to be away, but when I came to work yesterday, she wasn’t here. She never came home. So, no maid, no housekeeper has seen her? No one on the staff has seen or heard from her. But I did find a broken martini glass on the floor here. Could have been an accident. Perhaps she’s staying with her friend ms. Reeves? No. No, nina’s in puerto rico getting married. Dr. Gatlin-holt’s been a frequent guest recently. We were all under the impression he and ms. Jerome might be close. Recently? No, I — no, I haven’t — I haven’t seen ava. Do you happen to remember the last time you saw or heard from her? Two or three days ago. What, uh… yeah, why are you asking me this? She hasn’t been to her art gallery, and no one has seen or heard from her. You work for sonny corinthos. Am I right about that? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, I mean, a couple of days ago, ava mentioned that she was thinking about maybe taking a trip to new york. She said there was an artist that she was interested in signing. That could be very helpful. Thank you for your time. No problem. Ugh!

[ Gasping ] Sonny has a daughter with ava jerome. So he cares about her. If he finds out you had something to do with hurting avery’s mother, I’ll be back. And I won’t be asking questions.

[ Gasping, groaning ]

[ Panting ]


[ Cellphone ringing ] Joss? Hey. I think I found something. Minister caballero: It’s my understanding that you have elected to say your own vows, hmm? I guess you want me to go first? Yeah.

[ Both laugh ] Um… well, I’ve been — been spending all morning writing my vows. And they’re in my pocket. But when I looked in your eyes, I felt like I didn’t need to write my vows ’cause… I can always speak from my heart to you. I want to — I want to thank you for trusting me, for loving me, and for seeing the better man in me than… I ever saw in myself. I appreciate your kindness and your strength and your willingness to just fight for our love… yeah. …Even though… everybody was against us. And when we doubted whether we should be together, we did everything we could to get through that, and here we are. And I’m — I’m convinced more now that we belong together because how I feel right now, in the moment, how I always feel with you, you make me secure. I know you love me. And I love you that much more. And I always will. Curtis, just hear me out. I will keep the entire staff of the savoy, and the name of the club will remain. You and your entire family will have vip memberships for life. And I will increase my original offer to twice what you paid for the club. That’s an extremely generous offer. I agree. So, what do you say? Why are you determined to buy my club? Why not start your own, find a new location at half the price? Good question. In case you’re wondering, I have no idea how the judge is going to rule. I haven’t heard anything yet. Now that you’re back, will you oppose my release? You know, you look just as strong and healthy as the day you got in here. But that said, I’m not a doctor. And as the mayor, I don’t interfere in judicial decisions. I suppose putting in a good word for your brother would be out of the question. Yes. Did marty also tell you that I gave away all my money? Good afternoon. Oh, hey, hey. This is giles, ava’s butler, and he says ava hasn’t been home since the night before last and that nobody on the staff has seen or heard from her. Okay. You said you found something. Yes. Her cellphone and this lollipop. The cellphone was under the coffee table. The lollipop was kind of just sticking out of the couch. And giles found a broken martini glass on the floor. Miss avery must have dropped the lollipop last time she was here. No, no. This isn’t avery’S. How do you know? Because it’s grape and avery hates grape. So somebody else had to have been here. And ava would have never left her cellphone in case avery needed to get in touch with her. I saw cameras everywhere as I walked up to the house. There have to be more, right? Yes. I need to see the footage from the minute you left ava. To be honest, I never imagined that I would be here right now with you. It’s actually the last thing that I ever expected or wanted. And I fought it for a very long time. I kept telling myself that we would never work. And as I was doing that, my heart has kept falling deeper and deeper in love with you. And I couldn’t fight my heart anymore, could I? Or you. Your charm, your humor, your compassion, your courage, your loyalty, your dance moves. I mean, what more could a person ask for in someone they love? And then I saw you parent your children… how you fiercely love, how you are willing to fight for them, for their protection. I’ve always wanted a family, since I was a little girl. My daughter is finally part of my life. And the two of us are part of your family. You have given me so much. You have given me a family. And I want to give you something. I am gonna surround you with love for your entire life. I promise you that. And we can leave all our mistakes in the past. I will walk with you, hand in hand, right beside you, loving you… for the rest of your life.


I don’t have the time or theinclination to open a new club. It’s too much work, and I have a busy schedule. The savoy is already established. That’s why I’ll be paying you top dollar for it. Did you hear how she made it sound like it’s a done deal? Good afternoon, dr. Robinson.

[ Door closes ] Portia: Oh. Hello. You got here just in time. Ms. Wu brought us a basket filled with treats. Why don’t you have a seat, portia, and I’ll make us some tea so we can all get to know each other better. What kind of tea would you like, ms. Wu? That’s kind of you, but I have another appointment. Oh, that’s just too bad. Maybe another time, then.

[ Speaks chinese ] I’ll be in touch. Thanks for the basket. Amen. Giles: You can see the front entrance is well covered by several cameras. Alright. There you are leaving. And this is the night before last? Yes, sir. And she was alone when you left? Yes, sir. Feel free to examine the rest of the footage. I must check on a delivery. Please help ms. Jerome. Dex: There. Someone’s coming in. Yeah, I see him, but I can’t see his face. He’s wearing a hood. Around 20 minutes later… oh! Okay. There’s ava. She’s with him. I just — [ Sighs ] I can’t tell if her hands are tied or if she’s just walking super close to him. Here, let’s check the dock camera around that time. He didn’t use the launch. Well, he would still have to go back to port charles, no? Wait. Right there. Right there. He has his own boat. That’s what they left on. But if we want to see where they came ashore, we need to see the harbor security cameras and traffic cameras from that time. We can’t do that without going to the cops. Oh, there’s another way. Spinelli: Who knocks? Spinelli, it’s josslyn. You’re watching us through the security camera. Greetings, clever girl. And friend. What brings you to my door? Yeah, so I, uh —

[ Clears throat ] I examined the patient right after you, and I have to say, your prognosis was spot on.

[ Clears throat ] It was very impressive. Excuse me. Thank you. Uh, doctor, are you alright? Uh, yeah, I’m fine. I, uh — I went to a concert last night, and I was — I was vocally very enthusiastic. Ah. What was the band?

[ Door opens ] Mason: So — oh. Sorry. My cousin here needed to see me. I have seen so much suffering in here. I felt my money could do more good trying to help these poor souls. Mm-hmm. Yes, marty did mention to me that you’d given some of your money to a recidivism organization. Not “some” of my money. Every dime.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Chuckling ] Oh, you don’t believe that? Well, I-I guess we’ll see, won’t we, uh, if you are granted your early release. How little faith you have in your brother. They were ill-gotten gains. I have come to realize and appreciate that. I hope so, cyrus. You don’t seem to doubt the generosity of your friend sonny corinthos when he gives away his dirty money. Your vows were so clearly from the heart. Now, please repeat after me. “I, sonny, take you, nina…” I, sonny, take you, nina… I, nina, take you, sonny… …to be my wife, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer… …in sickness and in health, forsaking all others… …till death do us part. …Till death do us part.

[ Laughs ] Oh!

[ Laughs ] With this ring, I thee wed. With this ring, I thee wed.


Having made your vows, each to the other in the presence of god and these witnesses, you are now husband and wife.

[ Chuckles ] What god has joined let no one put asunder. I think you know what happens next.

[ Laughter ] You’re supposed to kiss!

[ Laughter ] What was that about? That woman was trying to — selina, uh, came to talk business, but, honey, what are you doing here in the middle of the day? Oh! Oh, well, I wanted to tell you something in person, but I wanted it to be official. Wait. For what to be official? I’ve been named co-chief of staff at general hospital.

[ Laughs ] Congratulations! That’s great, sweetheart. Whoo! It’s gonna be a lot more administrative work, meetings, a ton of e-mails, but… and you know you can handle all that. Yeah. Yeah, you’ll be great. Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] And it’s gonna be a little extra money. Oh, well, as it should be for all that extra work. Thank you. They will be very lucky to have you, dr. Robinson, and I couldn’t be more proud of my intelligent, accomplished, and very gorgeous wife. Mm! Oh, honey.

[ Squeals ] Congratulations. Thank you. Sorry. We couldn’t download the footage directly from the wyndemere system, so all we have is this video that I took of the tablet we had access to. It’s pretty degraded. Okay, perhaps, but your ingenuity is impressive. Um, we also found ava’s cellphone at wyndemere, but I don’t know the pin to get in. Do you think you could break into it? I’m afraid it would take time that ava does not have. Let’s get back to what we know. The butler departed the house at 10:57 that night. At 11:18, an unidentified figure, likely male, entered the house. Now, there’s no footage from the interior, so we don’t know what happened inside, but at 11:39, the unidentified figure left through the front door with ava. They were close together. He appears to be leading her. And from her posture, it’s likely her hands were tied. They arrive at the docks at 12:03 A.M., And they leave in a single-engine outboard. That’s what we have. Well done. You’ve certainly given a briefing before. Yeah, I have. Spinelli, what we really need to know is where they docked the boat in port charles. So, do you think you could get access to the harbor security and traffic cameras? Dr. Ashford, I apologize. My cousin is unaware of hospital protocol. You could have just now interrupted a consultation with a patient. I’m sorry. I’m just a truck driver. I don’t know anything about hospital protocols. So, I hope you can forgive me, dr. Ashford. No, no problem. We’re — we’re finished. Thank you, doctor. Mm. So, you’re a truck driver? Used to be. Now I kind of do a little bit of everything. Well, it was good to see you again. You too. Do not get high and mighty with me about manners. Look, you said you needed to see me right away. What’s going on? Sonny corinthos knows. Sonny has nothing to do with the way I view you, cyrus. Oh, I am well aware of that, dear sister. Sonny and I were in the same kind of business for years, and I never thought much about him. But then I see him treated with such reverence, an honored member of the port charles community, with a respected family, when he is no better than I am. Congratulations! Welcome to the family. Aww! It’s official. Thank you so much, kristina. My turn. Come here, girl. Give me a hug. And I want you to know something, okay? Okay. Daddy always loves you. You know that, right? I love you, daddy.

[ Chuckles ] Give me another hug.

[ Chuckles ] Can I call you mama nina now? Aww!

Here you go I would love nothing more.


Congratulations. Ah. You know, your mother’s the best thing that ever happened to me. And I just want you to know that… you mean everything to her.

[ Laughing ] Congratulations. Thank you, willow. You know, it means so much that you are here.

[ Sighs ]

[ Indistinct conversations ] Well, good job, dad. Well, congratulations, nina. Welcome to the family. Thank you.

Before it’s too late this news definitely calls for a celebration! Yes!I’m taking the two of you out to dinner tonight to celebrate. Alright. Marshall and trina, too. Well, you know what? We could actually have dinner in here tonight. You know, have some champagne. It’ll be a little bit more relaxing, right? No, mnh-mnh. Auntie’s right. This is a big deal, and we should celebrate it. Right, auntie? You said it, baby. I suppose sonny and i have a sort of friendship that I guess, uh — well, it surprises some people. But I had no idea that it upset you that much. I’m sorry. I am not upset at sonny. I suppose I just envy his life and the fact that he seems to have a much closer relationship with my sister than I do. I have known sonny for a very long time. Yes. Yeah. Look, I know it’s unlikely, but if I do get my release, perhaps you and i can build a bond even stronger than the one you have with sonny. It’s time, renault. Wish me luck. Good luck, cyrus.

[ Laughs ] Thank you so much for coming, dear sister. I hope to see you again very soon. There. That was the boat. How did you see that? It was so fast. Unique powers of observation. Okay, uh, here we are. Pier 17. Yes. So, the abductor, if that’s what he is, chose his landing spot well. You see the area around the pier? It’s all warehouses. It would be deserted at that hour, so even if ava were to call for help, she wouldn’t likely be heard. Wait. Look. He took off his hood. Can you tighten that image? Yes, of course, but the cameras are not high res. It might be a little grainy. I know that guy. That’s austin gatlin-holt’s cousin — mason. One of sonny’s guys was here, and he was asking about ava. So?

[ Sighs ] What do you mean, “so?” Nobody’s heard from her in a couple days.

[ Scoffs ] ‘Cause she’s locked in a basement somewhere. Who cares? I care. I care very much. Oh, how sweet. Cuz is in love. I’m not joking around here, mason. Don’t you hurt her. You know better than to threaten me. Isn’t it enough that she spent all this time thinking that she killed nikolas and nikolas is alive and well in — he’s fine. He’s in europe. Hey, I didn’t tell the guy to take off. And it was cyrus who wanted him kept alive in the first place. Nikolas is his nephew. Oh, forgive me. Cyrus just never struck me as the sentimental type when it came to family. Yeah, well, maybe we’re wrong about that.

[ Scoffs ] Mason, you need to convince cyrus to leave ava alone. If that guy comes back for me… put him off. No. I thought I already had. He punched me in the gut. He grabbed me. He had me in a chokehold. He said if anything happens to ava, he’s coming back for me. Looks like you got a problem, cuz.

[ Cellphone vibrating ] Oh, uh… got to take this real quick. Be right back. Wiley. Can I dance with my little girl? Yes. Hey, wiley, why don’t you ask your grandmother to dance, hmm? Want to dance?

[ Gasps ] Do I! Yes! Hey, look, I’m at a family function. I can’t talk long. So, you have the name of the person who turned drew cain in to the sec?


Now, what have you got? The sec was contacted by a lawyer named martin grey, acting on behalf of a client. Grey was just the go-between. I need the name of the person who pointed the sec to my mom and drew. Stella: Oh, let me help you with that. Oh, no. No, I got it. Hey, don’t you have to head back to the hospital, co-chief of staff?

[ Laughs ] I do, actually. Well, I’m gonna go take a shower, and I will see you tonight. I can’t wait. Alright. Portia, why don’t you come on over here and get this gift basket and take it to the hospital for the nurses to enjoy. Oh. Okay. You don’t have to do everything, portia. What? You have this wonderful, well-deserved job, and you’re making more money. Right. And the savoy is — it’s making money. Yeah, but curtis isn’t there. And in his mind, he’s not making a dime. He needs you — he needs all of us to live out our lives as normally as possible and not walk on eggshells around him. He can go out to the restaurant and have a fine time. I just was thinking maybe he would be more comfortable here, that’s all.

[ Sighs ] If something is making curtis uncomfortable, he’s a grown man and he can tell us himself. And, believe me, I know curtis. He will. Okay? Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you. Good. Now, here, take this. The whole thing, stella? Really? Absolutely. You don’t want nothing that woman has to offer in your house. Are you sure that’s the same guy? Positive. This guy mason has ties to someone who’s working against sonny. I’m not sure who yet. I mean, but how can you tell from this picture? When I was following him, he always had a lollipop in his mouth. Oh, my god. Well, that would explain the grape lollipop at ava’S. Here we go. Alright, the vehicle that ava and mason got into that night is registered to a pautuck trucking company. Pautuck, new york. Okay, I’m gonna need a list of all the employees employed by the trucking company and their addresses, as well as any properties owned or leased by the trucking company. That’s where we’ll find ava. You’re right — I have a problem because for some reason, cyrus hates sonny corinthos. Can you please explain that to me? Because I don’t understand. Isn’t there enough to go around for everybody? There’s plenty there, right? There used to be. Look, I don’t get it either, alright? Honestly, I think the whole thing started when the boss found out that mayor collins was his sister. What does that have to do with anything? I don’t know. I’m just telling you. Look, that — that’s when cyrus started mentioning sonny more and more. Then he would rant on and on about corinthos and the life that he had. What life? They have the same life. They’re both mob bosses. Yeah, but he calls sonny “respectable.” Like, it’s almost as if it was something that he wanted for himself and he doesn’t have. Great. So, my life is in danger because cyrus is jealous of sonny corinthos. Honestly, you know what? I think it goes deeper than that.

[ Breathes deeply ] That guy comes back, sonny’s guy, and I’m gonna spill my guts. And their next move is to come after you. And then you’ll be as dead as me. Look, don’t do anything stupid, austin, alright? You’re only protection from sonny is the boss, so just do what you’re told. Let the boss handle corinthos. Alright?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Well, thanks for the update, Melinda. Okay. Talk soon. Anything new? Oh, Melinda’s just saying there’s always red tape when it comes to private adoption and that shouldn’t be a problem. Blah, blah. Okay. Oh, she also said that she can help speed up the process once we have our marriage license. Which is in the works, right?

Well, before you know it, we’re gonna be an old married couple with a kid. Aww. Listen, I’m gonna run down to the pub, grab a coffee, you want me to bring anything back for you? No, I’m good, thanks. I’ll just have a yogurt. Okay. I’ll get it. What the hell are you doing here?

Well, good morning. How nice of you to invite me over for breakfast. I didn’t invite you over for a cozy little chat over croissants. Oh, we’re in a mood. You’re damn right we’re in a mood. What the hell were you thinking going behind my back and telling Sarah that she needs to set me free? I was going behind your back to tell Sarah to set you free.

Well, you’ll be happy to know she took your advice. And she asked me for a divorce. Ah! Ah! Max. Oh my God, you know, this is the best news I’ve had in ages.

She’s already asleep? Oh, Mom, you have the magic touch. I I was up half the night with her. I know, I know, my little girl has her days and nights all turned around. Problem is, is that I’m on the same schedule as the rest of the world. But… From the bottom of my heart, thank you for giving me a few minutes of me time.

No. I love you too, mama. Alright, bye.

Hi, can I help

you?

Oh! Ain’t you so sweet, are

you? Susan?

Yeah, it’s me. Lovely, I’m just enjoying this really beautiful morning. Would you like a lollipop? Like sand through

the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

Hello? Hey, good morning. Harris, I didn’t recognize your number. Yeah, uh, no burners for me. I got a new phone. I’m going back to being a semi respectable citizen. Me too. So, how was your first night as an official non, uh, Bayview resident? Oh, well, um, clean sheets, uh, a knife that actually cuts, and… Time with my son, Heaven.

Glad to hear it. Oh, and I’m glad to hear that you found a place at the pub. Yeah, now I just gotta find a way to pay for rent. You know, I haven’t seen many help wanted signs for a washed up CEO whose most recent job was mercenary slash hitman. Don’t say that about yourself. You literally saved my life at Bayview.

You saved Tripp’s life in London, and you helped bring Susan Banks home. You know what I’d call you, Harris? A hero.

Lollipop? Sarah! Did you? This, uh, this is incredible. Oh, did they have the bear claws? Yes, they did. Oh my God, I haven’t shown any of these sweet fit bear claws for some, I don’t know. Is it really you? Would you like to see my ID? You know, all you need to say is, Hello, welcome back. I’m so sorry. I’m so sleep deprived.

I genuinely thought I was hallucinating. Oh my god. You’re alive. Yeah, I thought that we established that. What happened? When did you get back? Oh, sweetheart, it’s been all over the news. Where I have a newborn. I’m so sleep deprived I A baby! You got a baby! That is so wonderful! You’re alive!

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I I, I need to go sit down. Okay. Sarah, are you, are you alright? Do you need a hand? Hey. Oh. I

just realized that I’ve… I’ve been so angry at Xander, blaming him for your mother’s death, and, and now he… Now? Now you’re not angry anymore, right?

Like I said, what the hell are you doing here? I have a meeting with my lawyer. Sun’s not your lawyer. She would have told me. Please tell me you’re not his lawyer. As a matter of fact, I am. So what’d you do this time? Why don’t you jump into conclusions? Not only did I do nothing wrong, I happened to be the injured party.

Often the case. Oh, Kay, come here. Aren’t you gonna go grab some coffee? You should have told me.

Yeah, I should have. I’ll leave the two of you to your meeting. See you soon.

Well, he seemed a wee bit ticked off, didn’t he? You know what? You’re going to stop talking about Eric. And now I want you to tell me why you think I can help you win full custody of your daughter.

Nope. Mom, damn it. It’s not the best news because I don’t want a divorce from Sarah and I don’t want to turn my back on my daughter. You mean Xander’s? No, I mean my daughter. And I don’t appreciate you going behind my back and telling my wife that she’s leading me on and ruining my life. I’m defending you.

I don’t need defending. It was my idea to step up and help her raise Victoria. Yes, so Xander wouldn’t find out that Victoria was his baby, but now he knows. It doesn’t make a difference. Of course it makes a difference. Are you kidding? This is Xander Cook’s child. Okay. Do you think he’s just gonna step aside and let you be father to the baby?

It’s not his call. Well, there’s more than that. Sarah, despite her saintly demeanor, has it bad. And I mean really, really bad for that bad boy. And I think you deserve a hell of a lot more than a wife who is hot for the gardener. Stop. That’s enough. Okay! Look, do you think that I want to say these things to you?

Because I don’t. I just hate seeing you hurt like this. And the longer this, this, this charade goes on, the worse and more painful it’s going to be in the end for you. And that’s what I care about. I care about you.

So Sarah is giving you an out. Take it. Agree to the divorce. Let her go.

Well, that’s uh, very nice of you to say, but I don’t think most people would agree. Okay, well you are a hero to me.

My son’s here, I gotta go. Okay, I’ll see you around. Okay. Hey, good morning sunshine. Okay, what can I make you for breakfast? I’ve got bagels, croissants, I can make you eggs anyway. Honestly, I usually just grab a protein shake on the run. Okay, well that’s what you usually do, but this morning is special. Come on, let me take care of you.

Let me thank you for, uh, for everything you did for me. You don’t have to thank me. Hey, you’re my mom. I don’t have to thank you? Mm mm. Tripp, if you and Wendy hadn’t helped me and Harris get out of the country, I would be dead right now. It’s a little bit more than a card on Mother’s Day, you know? Oh, you know, I, I also want to make, uh, breakfast for Wendy, too.

That’s very sweet, but no, she was actually up and out early this morning. She had a job interview. Oh, right, right, right. Well, I hope she gets that job. She probably will. She has a really great resume, and she’s really, really smart. Crazy capable, so. Mm hmm. So, uh, just how serious are things with you two?

Very serious. Oh. Yeah? I’m in love with her. Yeah? Yeah. I’m so happy for you. How about you? What do you mean? Well, how serious is it between you and this Harris Michaels?

Eric? Eric Brady, right? Yeah. Uh, Harris Michaels. I’m sure you, uh, heard about me and none of it’s been good. How do you know who I am? Well, actually your dad rented me your room, upstairs, and I found these pictures in the desk drawer and I brought them down so you can give them back to you.

What’s that? Is that your, uh, is that your daughter? Uh, no. Actually, it’s my brother Brady’s daughter, Rachel. I, uh, I set these aside. I must have left them behind.

Of course, Sarah’s still angry. It’s just great that you’re alive, Mother, but that doesn’t change the fact that Xander Cook kidnapped you and you lost almost a year of your life as a direct result. But… Uh, uh, uh, there is no but. Oh, but, you know what? Sarah thinks Terry’s won, right? Right, Sarah? Yeah. There is.

He’s not a murderer. Not this time. Terrific! With your CV, you, you need to self pedal your judgment. Susan, I, I am so thrilled that you’re alive. I… I need to get back to my baby, so I, I, I will tell my mom the good news. Oh. Yeah.

She found out that Xander hadn’t killed me. Really, really hard.

You know, the first time you talked to me, you said you wanted parental rights. And now you want full custody? Yeah, that’s right. Uh huh. You know, Eric’s not the only one who remembers what you’ve done. And Sarah, she’s, she’s a loving mother. A doctor. A real pillar of our community. Yeah, and my big sin is that I kidnapped Susan Banks and she ended up dead, but now we all know that Susan is alive and well and just as annoying as ever.

So Sarah can’t exactly call me a murderer in open court, can she? And I realize that, and maybe that helps whenever it comes to parental rights, but Xander, I mean, you still kidnapped her. But more than that, the baby was just born. I mean, do you know how extreme that’s going to be to take her from Sarah now?

Well, not if she’s an unfit mother. Unfit. Sarah lied to me. She told me flat out that I’m not Victoria’s father. She put another man’s name on the birth certificate and married him to keep me away from my kid. And it’s not the first time. She did the exact same thing to your boyfriend, Eric Brady. You’re my God’s son.

Who would keep a child from knowing their own father? I’ll tell you who. A monster.

There’s nothing between me and Harris. Well, except friendship. Well, I heard you call him your hero. Well, he is one. He saved my life. And yours. Tripp, I know that you don’t really like him, but No, look, we’ve come a long way since the exploding pizza box in Seattle. And I know he didn’t just help you. He risked his own life to save yours.

And mine. And I’m, I’m very grateful for that. But But, but what the two of you met at Bayview when you escaped that place together, you went to London, dodging bullets. It’s all very. Intense. Yeah. And we got through it together. We bonded. Sure wasn’t more than that.

Yeah, it was my, my fault. I assumed that it was your, your daughter. No, it’s all good. It’s understandable. You have kids? Uh, not that I know of.

You have been a little bit of a, a blur. Hmm. And if, you know, if you’re worried about me staying here. Just so you know, I’ve been in treatment with your mom, and she’s, she’s been a big help. She swears that I’m no longer a threat, you know, a menace to society. Well, my mom is seldom wrong about those things.

And my dad, well, he’s an ex cop, so I’m really not worried about him. Yeah, no, I know. I grew up in Salem. Really? Yeah. I know people think it’s kind of strange that I’m sticking around after everything that went down, but… You know, it’s really the only place I’ve ever been able to call home. And now I’m…

Kind of starting over trying to figure out who I am and who I want to be

Yeah, I know Eric did mention something about that to me he was just very big How exactly did Sarah keep him from his daughter the same as with me? She told him some other guy was the father Well, who did she say was the father? That’s not important, but you’re gonna marry the guy You know how much he wants kids you can imagine what that did to him Yes, I can.

Well, my point is, this woman has a history of lying to keep men away from their own children. And you think that makes her an unfit mother? Well, don’t you? Well, it doesn’t really matter what I think. But I do have to admit, I think this gives us a good play in court. Especially if we draw a male judge. I don’t want to leave anything to chance.

I want you to go for the jugular, that’s why I hired you. You really hit this woman with guts. Yes.

Yes, I do. It’s not a question of me letting her go, is it? It’s exactly what it is, okay? Sarah married you, the fool Xander. You married Sarah for love. She no longer has any use for you, so she’s moving on. My fear is that you’re going to spend the rest of your life pining after that sanctimonious… Okay, okay, stop, stop, stop.

Mom, you’re not helping. Okay?

If you could just tell me that you see and you accept the fact that she is never going to feel for you, would you feel for her? Mom, it’s…

Ah, hello, Sarah. We were just talking about you. Hello, Kate. So, Rex told me that you want a divorce. Sad. Cause I know exactly how hard you tried to save this marriage. It is sad. Well, when an inconvenient marriage is no longer convenient, what do you do, right? Mom, do you need to leave? Sarah and I need to talk, please.

It’s fine. It’s fine. But right before I do, I’d like to say something. Could you leave him the hell alone? Oh, I… Oh, no. I’ll go. I’ll go. Um, a little love? Okay, I’m just gonna see myself out.

Sorry about that. No.

She has a point, Rex.

I asked so much from you and gave nothing back. Sarah, we have been over this so many times. No, I know, I know.

You’ll never guess who I saw in the square. Susan Banks.

Seems like I’m the last person in Salem to know that she’s back and… Not dead.

I did see the news. I was going to tell you. What was your reaction to that?

Well, um, I realized that that leaves Xander more of a leg to stand on in court. Obviously. So is that a change of mind? About the divorce?

No.

I do, um,

I think your mom is right. I think it’s time for all of us to move on.

You could see Sarah’s eyes light up when she realized that Xander was innocent. Xander Cook is not innocent. As you were one of his victims, you should know that more than anyone. You need to stop getting yourself all worked up. We agreed that you were going to leave Ava Vitale and Xander Cook alone.

Mother, I know, I know you have a big heart, but those two are not stray kittens. They are dangerous people who have done terrible things. Oh, just like you have. And I can’t. You know what? I won’t forget that Xander felt very badly about kidnapping Manny. He treated him real nice. Oh, well that makes all the difference then.

I mean, it’s not really kidnapping when they’re nice about it, right? I, you know, I do not like it when you get sarcastic like that with me. It just, it gets me suspicious. Suspicious? Yes, about what you’re thinking. Mm hmm. And now, right now, darling, you are gonna swear to your mama, on your mama’s life, that you will never harm…

A single hair on their heads. I wouldn’t dream

of it. You’re not the only one who’s trying to figure things out. Yeah, starting from scratch. It was actually nice of your dad, you know, to give me that room without a security deposit, but I do have to find a job. You know, actually my dad said the other day he was looking to hire some help. Yes, and it turns out he hired a 16 year old kid.

Uh, I think grandson, is that, is that it? No, no, no, he’s actually his great nephew. Great, yeah, wow. Well, I’m never gonna get the, uh, Brady family tree. That makes two of us. Good morning, Eric Harris. Hey, did you sleep well? Um, I did, thank you. Are you as happy as I am that they arrested Dmitri von Leusner? And what about Vivian, shooting him in the back?

Too bad the cops didn’t put her in jail before she skipped town. Well, considering they have Ray Fernandez there, that’s never gonna happen. Hey, you should go out. You should go there, down to the station and apply for a job. Police station? Yeah, why not? Uh, because I was just in a mental institution? Yeah, well that’s just a blip.

I mean, you’re looking for a job, they’re looking for serious help, so… Hey, I could give you a recommendation. Tell them how you saved me from that disgusting fishing boat. Yeah, but I just left the country on forged documents also. So, it’s… Yeah, but you also saved Susan Banks, and Rafe didn’t even know she was still alive.

I’m telling you, unlike the incompetent folks at that police station, you actually get things done. Okay, well, Rafe, Ava and I did have some help from Susan.

You better be telling me the truth, Elvish, because I’m not going to be here to keep an eye on you. What are you talking about? Why won’t you be here?

Well, can’t you the divorce, I’m just going to go back to Chicago. You can send the divorce papers there. Yeah. I accept. I’m really sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about. This is my idea, the whole thing. And I don’t want to drag it out. It’s not good for you, me, or Victoria.

I just hope… What?

Maybe it’s not my place to say, but… I just hope you’re not going to get taken in by Xander.

Again.

So, do you think if I do sue for full custody that I can win?

I’m going to be honest with you. This is going to be an uphill battle. I mean, Sarah is the child’s mother. She’s a practicing physician. She doesn’t have a criminal record. I mean, look, if you cannot see yourself co parenting No, no, I as long as she stays married to that idiot Rex Brady. I mean, my God! What kind of woman can lie to a man that she says she cares about like that?

I mean, as far as I’m concerned, a woman like that doesn’t deserve a second chance.

Yeah, so do you have any big plans for today while I’m at work? Oh, I don’t know. You know, this is the first time I’ve had a day to myself since, uh, I don’t even know when. You know, I certainly didn’t have even two seconds to myself in Bayview or London. Yeah, I know you and Harris shared a room in London.

He slept on the chair. That is not in my business. Okay, Drew, will you please stop worrying? Okay. Harris voluntarily committed himself to Bayview. He’s determined to leave his past behind him, okay? He is really a different person now. I hear you. But, you did become pretty dependent on him at Bayview. Yeah, and you know what I’m like.

But, after these last few months, I would like to believe that I’m finally a different person too.

Hey, listen, um, I gotta get going, but like I said, if there’s anything I can do, you know, like introduce you around town, whatever, just let me know. Thank you, I might take you up on that. Nice to meet you. You too. Thanks.

Mall security guard, huh? Yeah, well, what’s, uh, what’s wrong with that? Well, there’s nothing wrong with it. I just think it’s probably something else that you’re better suited for, that’s all. I mean, seriously, you should go down to the station. I can put a good word in for you with your new neighbor, Jada Hunter.

Have you met her yet? It’s stressful. She’s the only confident detective on the whole force. Yeah, I don’t know. I mean… Hmm. I’ll think about it. But thank you. And, uh, I gotta go.

So, this is goodbye. Not forever. No, not forever.

I’m gonna go pack. Say bye to Victoria. Thank you for being the best, best friend in the world.

Oh. You be happy.

You too.

Mother, you can’t leave. I just got you back. Oh, but have you forgotten I have a husband waiting for me in Memphis? I certainly try to. Oh,

look at that. Going Edmund P. Crumb on me, huh? Oh, did you just compare me to Edmund Crumb? Oh, besides being tall and British, you and chain you to a bloody wall, am I? Well… Out of fairness, um, he didn’t do the kidnapping himself. So he claims. Assuming he is telling the truth, who handed you to him?

I want to see my daughter. Rex is upstairs with her right now. Can you just have the decency to give him time to say goodbye? Goodbye?

I told Rex that I want a divorce, and he agreed. So, he’s going back to Chicago. Why?

Because of you.

Okay, I’m off. Let me know if you need anything. Okay, don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. Okay. Oh, wait, wait, wait. Um, do you want a matcha chiana or a sabuco for dinner tonight? Surprise me

Hey, Tripp is your mom here? Harris, we were just talking about you. Oh, yeah. Yeah Yeah, I was just saying that how grateful I was to you for saving my mom’s life Uh, and mine, but,

but what? Uh, she’s been through hell more than once. Hello? I’m in the room. Yeah, no, go ahead. She just doesn’t need to be dealing with anybody else’s baggage, you know? Okay, didn’t you say you had to get to work? I’m just saying. Okay, have a good one. Go save people, all right? See you later, Mom. Sorry about that, Harris.

Oh, it’s, uh, it’s okay, I get it. Your son just being, uh, protective. Yeah, yeah, and, uh, he knows that I’ve been known to, uh… To… To what? Um… To get obsessive about a guy and then get real stupid. Hmm. Well, I think we might have, have that in common. Yeah? Yeah, I was a little obsessed over Hope, and I thought it was a fine idea not to tell her her husband was alive.

By the time I had a change of heart, it was too late. I can’t really blame that one on being brainwashed. Right. Well, I guess we both know what it’s like to want something so much that, um, you’ll do anything So hold on

to it.

Harris texted me to say that he was happy here at the pub and everybody had been welcoming and kind. Those are his words. Oh Wow, I’m very glad that he’s feeling comfortable. As a matter of fact, you just misdemeanors left. Oh, I wasn’t really looking for him, I wanted to talk with you. I want to see how you’re doing with Philip, leaving town, moving to New York.

Well, the only thing I can actually feel is dread since he’s leaving for New York with Chloe. But, um… I am accepting that it’s his decision, and there is nothing I can do about it. Hey, Mom. Hi, Marlena. Hi, Rex. Hey, what’s this? Don’t tell me you’re leaving town. I am, yes. I’m going back to Chicago. Oh, Rex, no!

Why? Honey, just because you’re leaving Sarah doesn’t mean you have to leave Salem. I mean, Marlena and I were just talking about this. Rex, come on, this is… This is kind of hard on me, you know? I mean, just finding out that Philip is leaving for New York with Chloe, I mean… You mean, Philip is going to New York to live his own life?

The nerve of that guy! Okay. Very funny. Nice. Coming here to break my heart. And you’re snippy, too. Hey.

I love you. And I know my leaving is making you upset. But smile, because Sarah and I are getting a divorce, and that’s exactly what you wanted.

Facts. I

brought you a skull. It’s a peace offering. I know I need to respect your professional judgment. It’s just that Xander, he pushes all kinds of buttons in me. No, Eric, I get that. I get that, obviously. But, um, he told me something that I didn’t know. That Sarah Horton kept you from your child?

Yeah. It’s just not a part of my life I’d like to revisit. But

I mean, you guys can get along now, like you’re all friends, right? Yeah, yeah, of course. It’s… Listen, I understand why she did what she did. But the pain of what happened was all because of the result of a lie. And looking back on it, it’s not easy to forget the pain that she not only caused me, but everyone.

You asked Rex for a divorce because of me?

I… Realize that you were going to make my life a living hell as long as he was with me, sir. Well, I wasn’t expecting to come face to face with Susan Banks. Alive. You saw her? Just now. It must be such a huge weight off of your shoulders to know that you’re not a killer after all. Yeah. I’m so glad she made it.

Spent so many sleepless nights racked with guilt over what happened to her, but I’m sure that’s a shock to you, since you think I have no conscience, I’m a horrible person. I don’t think that, Xander. I never thought that. It’s just…

with everything that happened, or what I thought happened, I was just… Scared to let you back into my life.

But now,

here you are. Here I am.

I sat at that cliffside all night long after your crash. And I don’t remember seeing anything or anyone. Hmm. Well, that is a shame. Because it doesn’t help solve the mystery of what mean, mean, meanie dragged me to the home of that screwball crumb. No, don’t… Well, Elvis, sweetheart, you’ve been running yourself ragged, thinking that your mama was gone all those months, and I just…

Sweetheart, I don’t want you to drive yourself crazy anymore. I don’t want you to do that. How could I not? Mother, someone forced you into captivity and I want to know who the hell it was and why in God’s name they would put you

through that.

[ Dramatic music ]

Brooke: Hope, what on earth are you talking about?

Hope: No, it’s true, mom. I– I saw it with my own eyes. The two of them, together. Dad and… her.

Brooke: Deacon and sheila. They’re involved?

[ Deacon sighing ]

Sheila: Come on, don’t say the sparks have gone out for us already. I just– I thought a little romance would help take your mind off of your concerns with hope.

Deacon: Yeah, me too. I’m sorry, babe. I just, uh… I just can’t help but wonder if– if I’ve lost my daughter for telling her about us.

Luna: I’m so happy there’s no more secrets between us.

Rj: Yeah. You know about my granddad, I know about li being your aunt. I just– I hate that you’ve been dealing with all this stress. I mean, it’s– it’s not worth it.

Luna: Mm, then you must not know my aunt very well.

Rj: All right, well, I’m just saying that you don’t have to go through this alone anymore, okay? I’m here for you. I’m not gonna let li drive you out of forrester creations. Hey. I don’t wanna lose you.

Deacon: It’s only a matter of time before brooke finds out about the two of us.

Sheila: If– if brooke thinks that she can judge us– unless you’re concerned because you still have feelings for her?

Deacon: No. That ship’s sailed. Besides, she has her forrester back now, not that that would change a thing. I just– I don’t get why she does this to herself.

Sheila: Right. Well, you know, it is brooke. Always the martyr. Although, it should be more like a masochist.

[ Phone beeping ]

Rj: Hello? Yeah. Okay, great. Thank you. Don’t be mad.

Luna: Why would I–

Rj: I, uh, texted someone that I think we really should talk to.

Luna: Who?

Rj: Your cousin.

[ Knocking on door ]

Finn: Hey, rj. I’m on my way to the hospital. What’s– what’s so important?

Rj: Ah, well…

Luna: Hi.

Finn: Oh, sorry. I, um– I didn’t mean to interrupt.

Rj: No–

Luna: No, finn, it’s me, luna. Luna nozawa, your cousin?

Finn: Lu– luna? Oh, my– how–

[ Luna laughing ] Hey! Well, it– how long has it– I mean, it’s been years!

Luna: Yeah. I know, and I’m sorry about that. I mean, I would have liked to have seen you.

Finn: Yeah, I mean, when was the last time? I mean, you would have– god, you would’ve been, like, in grade school!

Luna: Yeah.

Finn: What’s going– I mean, what– what are you doing here?

Rj: Uh, luna is our newest intern.

Finn: You’re– you’re working here? That’s– that’s– wow, that’s fantastic!

Rj: Yeah, right? Well, um, your mom doesn’t think so, which is why I– I wanted to talk to you.

Brooke: You must’ve misunderstood, honey.

Hope: Mm-mm. Nope. Nothing to misunderstand, mom. Dad was standing there with sheila and they told me that they were in love.

Brooke: No! No. This can’t be! This is— this is ridiculous! Why aren’t you more shocked?

Ridge: More shocked? Why, more shocked? Why? I know. I– I knew this already.

Brooke and hope: You knew?

Ridge: Yes!

Brooke: What–

Ridge: Not this, not now, but I– I… I thought they were done.

Hope: I’m sorry, how did you find out?

Brooke: And more importantly, why didn’t you tell us? I was stuck.

Sheila: I just hate to see you so down. I hope you’re not having any regrets.

Deacon: Hey, life’s too short for regrets. Besides, I asked you to marry me, remember?

Sheila: Yeah. [ Chuckles ] Yeah, but I– all we did was tell the kids about our relationship. They don’t even know we’re engaged yet, and… I know that you’re worried. You’re concerned about losing hope.

Deacon: I’m not gonna let it get to that. I’ll figure something out. Hopefully, it just– just gonna take some time.

Sheila: Yeah. Would you let me give you a massage?

Deacon: Mm, hard pass.

Sheila: You’re such a baby.

[ Deacon chuckling ] All right, well, I– I am gonna go take a bath.

Deacon: Okay.

Sheila: And I would strongly encourage you to come join me so that I can wash away some of that concern.

Deacon: Concern?

Sheila: Yeah. Concern.

Deacon: Okay.

Brooke: I can’t believe that you didn’t tell us that deacon and sheila were together!

Ridge: It was complicated. We didn’t ask too many questions. We just wanted to put sheila away for good.

Brooke: Okay. So you and bill made a promise to deacon that you wouldn’t say anything to anybody, especially hope and me, in exchange for deacon helping you take sheila down.

Ridge: Yeah, that’s the deal we made. And I’m sorry, I should have said something. I don’t wanna keep things from you, but I thought this would be best for the family and keep everybody safe.

Hope: And how did that turn out? I mean, sheila’s free. My dad is still with her. Maybe if you had told us when you found out, we might have been able to prevent it from happening.

Brooke: Oh, honey. I’m as shocked as you are. I can’t believe this. I mean, deacon’s made some bad mistakes and decisions in the past, but this is horrible. I mean, how are you feeling after finding out?

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Stunned. Disappointed. Sad. Dad was just turning his entire life around and now…

Brooke: I feel the same way. I don’t understand why.

Hope: Could you talk to him? Please, mom, you’ve always been able to get through to him. Could– could you maybe get him to open his eyes and– and get him to see what a terrible, just dangerous situation this is?

Brooke: Yes, yes, honey. I will do that. This ends today.

Ridge: Whoa, whoa, whoa. You’re not going over there alone. Sheila’s there. I’ll go with you. Let’s go.

Brooke: Okay.

Finn: Wait, I’m- I’m confused. Like, what does my mom have to do with you working here? Also, this is just crazy for me because I mean, I haven’t seen you since you were a kid!

Luna: Yeah. Um, there’s a reason for that, actually. I don’t– I don’t mean to talk poorly about your mom, but she’s the reason why we haven’t seen each other. She hasn’t really gotten along with my mom.

Finn: Yeah, I just, uh– I mean, there was no secret that they weren’t that close.

Luna: Right. I can’t imagine the one-sided stories you’ve heard. Sorry, it’s just because they never really get along. Um, aunt li’s, like, hyper-protective of you and she hasn’t been allowing me or my mom to be part of your life here in L.A.

Rj: Yeah. Like, when she found out that she was working here, she came down really hard, and she– she insisted that she leave. I– I just– I don’t feel like that that’s her call. I mean, plus, on top of that, she’s an incredibly important part of what my granddad and I are doing on– on our new collection. And I also– you know, I want her to stay. I’m just asking you if you could, you know, step up and help your cousin.

Finn: Well, yeah. I mean, we all know that my mom can be a little intense.

Rj: Yeah. Yeah, you know, but, I mean, come on, to mess with her career like this? I mean, she– she’s incredibly talented and intelligent and she– she fits in here perfectly. Everybody here wants her to stay. So, I’m just asking, you know, if you could back luna with your mom. It’d be really appreciated, but I just wanna go on record as saying that… luna’s not leaving forrester creations. Febreze!

[ Knocking at door ]

Brooke: Deacon! It’s me! Open up. Now!

[ Deacon sighing ]

Deacon: Hey.

Brooke: Where is she? Have you lost your mind?

Deacon: I get that this is a– a shock–

Brooke: A shock? A shock? This is appalling. You’ve made a good life for yourself, deacon. Now, you wanna throw it all away for some sociopath like sheila carter?

[ Sheila clears throat ]

Ridge: Ah.

Sheila: Well, news, uh… news seems to travel fast.

Brooke: Well, there she is. Why do you wanna be with a monster like this? You know of all the things that she’s done. You know what she’s going to do to you? She is going to take your status. She’s gonna take your restaurant. She’s gonna take away your relationship with our daughter and she’s going to destroy it and she’s not gonna think twice about it. Don’t let her cause any more damage than she’s already done. Tell her. Tell her to get lost and never come back.

Rj: Yeah, I should also say that luna had no idea that I texted you, by the way.

Luna: Yeah, this was not how I pictured reconnecting with my cousin after all these years. I used to look up to you so much. Like, literally, you were always showing off climbing that tree in the backyard.

Finn: Yeah, well… you know, going up is the easy part, but, uh, coming down, that’s– you know, that’s different.

Luna: I hated not seeing you.

Finn: Well, I’m sorry about that, if it really was because of our moms and their own issues.

[ Cell phone chiming ] Oh, hey, look, I, um– I gotta get to work, but… look, I– I promise, I’ll– I’ll talk to my mom about you.

Luna: Thank you.

Finn: All right. Good to see you.

Luna: Thank you.

Rj: Hey, thank you, man. Seriously, I appreciate it. Thanks for helping us.

Finn: Got it.

Rj: So, are you upset?

Luna: What, that I told you my secret and then you went and got my cousin involved? No. Not at all. I actually really appreciate it. How did you do that?

Rj: How’d I do– how did I text him?

Luna: No! No, I mean, like, how did you know that this is exactly what I needed and what I couldn’t bring myself to do? I mean, I wanted to see finn so badly. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same about aunt li.

Rj: Yeah, I know. Well, um, you do need to talk to her… and she’s on her way. Right now.

Luna: Aunt li’s coming here?

Thomas: You were right about the beading.

Hope: Hm?

Thomas: Was it my attention to detail that tripped you up or was it what you were talking to me about– it was what you were talking to me about earlier. What the heck was your dad thinking?

Hope: I don’t know. Honestly, I’m– I’m still in shock and I’m trying really hard not to think about my dad and sheila… especially when we have so much we need to be working on, so.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, I’m– I’m glad to hear that. We do have a lot to work on. I don’t know, it’s– I’ve missed spending more time with you. I miss this. I miss us. Stouffer’s makes you happyfull

Luna: Aunt li’s on her way here?

Rj: Actually, charlie texted me a couple minutes ago and said that she’s in the building. Hey, listen.

[ Luna groaning ] We’re gonna handle this, okay? We’re gonna do it together.

[ Door rattling ]

Li: Rj, hi.

Rj: Li… I know that luna is your niece and I just wanna say that I do not understand why you are treating her so poorly and trying to dissuade her from working at forrester.

Li: No, you don’t understand, rj. This is a family matter. It’s none of your business.

Rj: Forrester creations is my business. It’s my family’s business and I have been working with luna for weeks now and she has proven to be incredibly talented and intelligent and she is welcome at forrester. My dad thinks so, my granddad thinks so and I’m sure that steffy would agree, okay? So, li, don’t tell luna, our intern, that she’s not allowed to work here ’cause she’s not going anywhere.

Li: Well, this is our family business, rj, and I’ve made it crystal clear to luna about what she needs to do. She’s written her letter of resignation. She is leaving forrester creations today.

Finn: You know, maybe

thomas has changed.

Maybe he’s new and reformed

and that would be wonderful,

but it doesn’t change

the fact that you are

an incredible person

who deserves better

than thomas.

Brooke: He’s right.

You do deserve better than

thomas. In your mind,

do you think he’s right?

Thomas: I lost you again.

Hope: Sorry.

Thomas: No. It’s okay. You never have to apologize with me. That’s what you get. Total commitment, love, unconditional support.

Ridge: I came here looking for this animal and you told me you had no contact with her. You swore to me!

Deacon: Oh, really? Like you swore to me that you wouldn’t say anything about the two of us? Carter? Look, man, you’re a pragmatic guy. What good would it have done if I told you?

Ridge: You’re a bigger idiot than I thought.

Sheila: You know what, you should know better than anyone else, sometimes love just doesn’t make sense.

Ridge: Oh, god. Look–

Sheila: The heart wants what it wants–

Ridge: Give me a break–

Deacon: I didn’t tell– I didn’t tell you about us because I know that sheila’s not a threat anymore. Not to steffy or her kids. Not the way you think.

Ridge: How? She’s been a threat to my family for as long as I can remember. Now, magically, she’s changed?

Deacon: No, not magically, okay? But everybody deserves a chance at rehabilitation if they seriously want a shot at– at a new life, at doing better. I mean, look at me!

Brooke: Deacon, you have changed and you’ve grown! That’s why I don’t understand any of this. Why do you wanna be with her? Look at what you’ve done. You’ve made il giardino a hit. You spent time really rebuilding your relationship with our daughter. Our relationship is better than we’ve ever had it, ever. I am– I am so, so proud of you, but this? This has got to end. You have to tell sheila to leave and do it today.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nikki: Victor, I’d like you to meet my new assistant, claire grace.

Claire: Mr. Newman, it’s an honor.

Victor: So, you’re the young lady I’ve heard so much about. My goodness. Welcome to the company.

Claire: Thank you, sir.

Victor: Uh, my wife speaks very highly of you. She rarely does that, you know.

Nikki: Now.

Victor: And you are aware of the importance of the job that you’re about to take on?

Claire: Very much so, sir. I am honored to be entrusted with the responsibility. And I plan to give miss newman my all.

Victor: I expect no less.

Claire: I know how lucky I am to be part of such an exciting young business like newman media. And to be given this opportunity to learn from the best. I couldn’t have hoped for better.

Sally: So, now that the financing is in place and I have a network of suppliers lined up, I think it is time to bring in some clients.

Nick: Right, clients.

Sally: You know, I think the key is to generate word of mouth and get some jobs under my belt before we bring in a marketing team. Get some photos out there, maybe some media content. People love before and afters. What do you think about hiring me to design your offices for your new company with sharon?

Nick: Hundred percent.

Sally: We could feature the empty space and then the concept stage and then the final product. Offer interviews for everyone and it’ll be really good for your company and mine.

Nick: Yep.

Sally: Should I go would you prefer hot pink?

Nick: Yes.

Sally: You’re not actually hearing any of the words I’m saying, are you?

Nick: What do you mean?

Sally: Have you been listening to anything I’ve said?

Nick: Yeah, you were, uh, talking about, um, something pink.

Sally: Nick.

Nick: You’re right. I’m sorry. I’m trying to concentrate, uh, but I can’t stop thinking about something else.

Sally: I bet I can guess. What happened between me and adam? You haven’t been the same since you found out about the kiss.

Adam: Nate.

Nate: Adam.

Adam: I, um, I was nearby. I was running those errands that you asked me to do and I thought I would stop in, give you a report. See if there’s anything else I can grab for you on the way back to the office.

Victoria: It seems like the sort of thing that could have been a text.

Nate: It’s okay. It’s okay. Let’s hear it, adam.

Adam: Uh, well, I, um, dropped off your shirts at the dry cleaner, uh, picked up your suit alterations at fenmore’S. I went ahead and confirmed tomorrow’s breakfast, and then the presentation binders for, uh, this afternoon’s team meeting, got those. And the research you asked for is gonna be on your desk by the end of the day.

Nate: Wow, you’ve accomplished quite a bit in one morning. I’m impressed.

Adam: Well, my sister’s obviously not.

Victoria: Bravo for doing your job.

Adam: Okay, yes, that is the spirit.

Victoria: And my question is why are you working so hard?

Adam: I mean, isn’t that the idea? Work hard, get the job done.

Nate: Which is what you seem to be doing.

Adam: And there’s something wrong with that?

Victoria: Uh, just a little suspicious, that’s all.

Adam: How so?

Victoria: It’s a clear sign that you’re up to something. – “Best thing I’ve ever done.”

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

-During an asthma attack,

Adam: Help me out, victoria. You know this is a double bind for me. If I slack off, I’m an ingrate who thinks this is beneath him. And if I work hard, I’m plotting.

Victoria: That’s about it. Yeah.

Adam: Do– do you know what my dream is?

Victoria: I have no clue. And I’m really not that interested.

Adam: That one day, you will accept what I say to you at face value.

Victoria: Well, I don’t imagine that that day is coming any time soon. You know what they say about dreams? You eventually wake up.

Adam: What do I have to do to convince you that this reformation is real?

Nate: We are both giving you the benefit of the doubt for now, adam.

Adam: Well, I hope that’s true and I hope it lasts. You know, I can do this swimming upstream if I have to, but a little faith and trust would make it a lot easier.

Victoria: And why exactly should it be easier?

Adam: Because this would be better for everybody. We would all benefit if this works out.

Nate: So far, so good.

Adam: Thank you.

Victoria: My jury’s still out.

Adam: Of course it is and I can’t wait for the verdict. Now, if you don’t have anything new for my to do list, I’m gonna head back to work. I’ll see you at the office.

Victoria: I thought that you and I were both immune to adam’s tricks. Please tell me that you’re not falling for his con.

Nick: Trying really hard to forget about that kiss and I hate seeming like I’m paranoid or that I’m dragging up old emotions for you.

Sally: You have no reason to be paranoid.

Nick: Yeah. You and adam, you’re just friends. Even if adam doesn’t believe it, but that’s what you told me.

Sally: And that’s what I meant.

Nick: Then, I believe you. But then you also told me that you were torn up inside and that your feelings were all over the place. And then you turned around and saw how upset I was. You said something to try and make me feel better.

Sally: What are you talking about?

Nick: Sally you went from, I’m not ready to be in love to I’m falling in love with you in no time flat.

Sally: Okay. That’s a bit of an exaggeration.

Nick: You can’t deny the shift was pretty quick. Because then you told me about the kiss and then, you know, you’re just trying to make me feel better.

Sally: Well, yeah, of course, I don’t want you to be upset. And I don’t want you questioning my wanting to be with you. And I also would not admit to feeling something if it wasn’t true.

Nick: Yeah, but the timing, it can’t be a coincidence.

Sally: What are you really saying?

Nick: You don’t see some cause and effect there?

Sally: Look, what difference does it make how I got to where I am or– or when? Me being open about my feelings is the important part.

Nick: Sally, it’s, I just need you to know that you can always be honest with me.

Sally: Of course, I know that, okay? And I am being honest. Yeah, I’m– my emotions are a little tangled up and that hasn’t changed. Adam got to me.

Nick: Which is exactly what he wanted.

Sally: Maybe.

Nick: Sally, come on.

Sally: Look, I don’t know that for sure.

Nick: How can you not know that?

Sally: Okay, look, I don’t care about his reasoning, okay? I care about us. I would really like to think that– that I’m always in control of my emotions and that I can handle anything that’s thrown at me and most of the time, that’s true. But adam, I mean, you know how he is.

Nick: Yeah, I do.

Sally: He’s relentless.

Nick: He always is.

Sally: And he knows what buttons to push.

Nick: Yeah. Every single one of them. Can I ask you something?

Sally: Of course.

Nick: Do you think adam would have been able to push all those buttons if there wasn’t some part of you that was still in love with him?

Nikki: You made a very good first impression on my husband and trust me, that is no easfe.

Claire: I hope I didn’t come across like a complete idiot. We studied newman enterprises in business school, so to meet the man in person was intimidating. I wrote a paper about a series of acquisitions he made in the late 90s, and now I just shook his hand.

Nikki: Well, I’m sure he would love to read your paper.

Claire: Maybe down the road, a long time from now. I hope I came off as a professional.

Nikki: Oh, you did just fine.

Audra: I’m sorry to interrupt, nikki, but I just got off a call with the podcast network we want to acquire.

Nikki: Where are we on the purchase price?

Audra: Still too far apart. You know, they’re holding to an outrageous figure. You know, I think they just fear they’ve boxed themselves in and are trying to save face.

Nikki: Well, let’s give them some more time. Or, claire. Your thoughts?

Claire: Me?

Nikki: Why not?

Claire: I– I don’t know any of the details, obviously, I’m so new.

Nikki: I’m sure you learned a lot about negotiations in your business training. So, what are your instincts?

Claire: Give them a way out. Let the fee stand, but recoup it in some other aspect of the deal. Something worthwhile to you. That way you’re happy and they feel like they’ve won.

Nikki: Very astute.

Claire: Thank you.

Audra: Yes, definitely interting approach, but I’m not sure what else they have that we want, for the price they’re asking.

Nikki: Well, we could tie it to the advertising platform. Bigger percentage for us.

Audra: That works.

Nikki: Great. So, are we good?

Audra: We are excellent.

Nikki: Terrific. Uh, if you need me to jump in, just let me know.

Audra: Thank you so much for your insight, claire. deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories.

We’re traveling all across america,

Nikki: I am not sure I want to go up against you in a negotiation.

Claire: Just some things I’ve studied. And my great-aunt always said I was a born negotiator. I had a very good success rate with getting later bedtime.

Nikki: Oh, really? I think I had that same young girl in my house.

Claire: Your daughter, victoria.

Nikki: Absolutely. She was always very strong-minded and it could be exhausting. Now, there are some things I want to make clear.

Claire: Uh, of course, mrs. Newman. I will take notes.

Nikki: Oh, you don’t have to do that. Uh, you can if you want to. It’s not necessary. First, I would like for you to call me nikki.

Claire: Okay. Done.

Nikki: And I am a demanding boss, as my husband alluded to, but I try to make my expectations known, so you will know exactly what I want from you. I am tough, but fair. And sometimes, it is imperative that I move on something very quickly. You might feel like I’m barking orders at you, but trust me, it’s nothing personal.

Claire: Of course, mrs.– Nikki. I think you’ll find I have a pretty thick skin. I’ve taught myself not to take criticism or brusqueness personally. Most things aren’t personal. They’re more about what the other person is going through than something you did.

Nikki: Hm. You’re a bit of an old soul, aren’t you?

Claire: I don’t know about that, but I did grow up in a very strict household, so I was taught to follow the rules. Do what you’re told. Behave appropriately.

Nikki: Oh, your great aunt laid down the law, did she?

Claire: I love my great aunt, but she didn’t always see eye to eye with all of my friend’s parents about what a young girl should be allowed to do.

Nikki: And you don’t have any siblings, is that right? I lost my parents at a fairly young age. Thank god for my older sister. Did you have anybody aside from your great aunt that you… I’m starting to sense that you prefer not to talk about the past.

Claire: I’d rather focus on the future.

Sally: I don’t love adam. That’s over. Just like your other loves are in the past, okay? So can we not? Because I would much rather talk about us and our future. Our relationship and the company that– that you’re helping me build and your belief in me that means everything. Look, adam and I are friends. We went through a horrible ordeal together. And so yeah, I guess I– I feel affection for him. As a friend. Empathy.

Nick: Losing ava bonded you.

Sally: Yeah, of course it did. And I think you would understand that because you went through the pain yourself. It doesn’t just leave you. But sharing that with one person doesn’t discount how you feel about someone else. I am falling in love with you. I wouldn’t lie about that. Can you please believe me?

Nate: Me tolerating adam isn’t the same as trusting him. I’m just as skeptical of his turnaround as you are.

Victoria: Really? Well, it didn’t seem like that a minute ago. You were praising at him like you were gonna hand him a trophy or something.

Nate: As opposed to what? Provoking him to be on his guard? That’s not gonna help us. Remember what you told me. We need to sit back, wait for adam to make a move that benefits him and damages the company. Lull him into a false sense of security. He won’t be able to help showing his hand. That’s when your father will finally be able to see that all adam’s talk about humbling himself and starting over is the bs we already know it to be.

Victoria: Okay. Well, I can start complimenting him and telling him that he’s doing a good job. He would see right through that.

Nate: Okay. That’s fine. Nothing overboard that he could clock, but we are on the same page about building adam’s confidence, right? To then knock him down when he shows his hand.

Victoria: Yes.

Nate: Then we have to let him think that we bought his act. That we firmly believe he is cool with being the world’s best assistant.

Victoria: All right. All right. I’ll– I’ll have a more positive attitude then.

Nate: Good.

Victoria: It’s not gonna be easy though.

Nate: I know.

Victoria: Because being nice to adam does not address the bigger issue.

Nate: Which is?

Victoria: My father. Ma, ma, ma-

Nate: Victoria, I thought you’d let that go and accepted the changes at newman. You said you’d go along with what your father wants.

Victoria: I said that I would go along with what my father wanted for now because it was the only feasible choice ’cause the only thing to do in the moment is to keep an eye on adam and wait for him to screw up.

Nate: That’s still the objective.

Victoria: I’m sorry. But you know what? It’s just harder than I thought it would be to wait this all out. I’m not a particularly patient person, nate.

Nate: You’re not? I had no idea.

Victoria: And to hear my father say that he was gonna whip us all into shape. I mean, that kind of paternalistic stance. Yeah, adam, sure, of course. And nicholas maybe, but me? I have been leading this company and I have been leading it well, so for him to include me in his– in his cleanup plan, it–

Nate: I know you’re hurt.

Victoria: No, I’m not hurt. I’m not. I’m insulted.

Nate: But taking it out on your father, saying he’s the problem–

Victoria: Is there anything that you can agree with me on? Is everything that I do wrong?

Nate: Victoria, look, let’s not turn this into an argument. I was simply pointing out that we agreed on a strategy. We said we’d sit back, see how things unfolded with your father at the helm and we’d watch adam very closely.

Victoria: Okay. Great, great, but that’s not working for me. I can’t just sit by and do nothing. It just makes me feel more isolated than I already am.

Nate: Isolated how?

Victoria: I– I had an entire company. My father threw me out of the ceo chair. Nicholas refuses to come back to newman to offer me his support and adam is worming his way back into people’s lives. I’m sorry, but I don’t believe that it’s genuine. And it’s just the first step in god knows what and you think my reaction is inappropriate for some reason. I feel like I’m out here on my own. I feel like no one’s on my side.

Nate: I did not say that. You have to know I support you 100%.

Victoria: Do you?

Nate: Of course. I said it before and I will say it again. I am only suggesting you keep the peace with your father because I believe it is the best way forward for you. I don’t want victor hurting you any more than he already has. I don’t want everything that you’ve accomplished at your family’s company to be undermined by adam. Can’t you see that I’m just trying to protect you?

Nick: Is it possible that you just think you’re in love with me or that you wish you were? Because you know it’s safe.

Sally: That’s not fair. Because my feelings for you are real and they’re huge and for you to just dismiss them like that–

Nick: I’m not trying to do that, okay? I just don’t want you to feel like you’re trapped. If you’re confused, I get it, all right? If you need some time, then please just take it.

Sally: Look, I never said that’s what I needed.

Nick: I absolutely hate it that adam is manipulating you. That he’s manipulating us. And it just proves yet again that all that talk from him about wanting to be a better person was just that. It’s just talk. It’s just adam. He’s always going to be him and it’s clearly affecting you.

Sally: It seems like you’re the one that he’s affecting because it’s not me. Not in any way that matters anyway.

Nick: Look, I can’t go through this again. I don’t want to.

Sally: What are you saying? If you’re taking an antidepressant

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. At the home depot, you’ll find top-brand kitchen appliances

Nick: I guess what I’m saying is I can’t be in a relationship where both sides aren’t 100% committed. I’m all in sally and you gotta be too.

Sally: I am all in.

Nick: No, you’re not. Every instinct I have is telling me you’re not.

Sally: So what? It’s just my word against your instincts?

Nick: Yeah, pretty much.

[ Sally scoffing ] Look, I’ve been fighting this feeling for a long time that adam is the one you really want to be with and that’s never not going to be true. Even if we’re together, if adam’s with someone else, there is this pull between the two of you and it is always there. Yeah, I was in the middle of it for a while. It worked. We were happy. At least, I thought we were.

Sally: We were, we are.

Nick: But then all hell broke loose. You lost ava and I was fighting to save my daughter’s life and that means I couldn’t be there for you when you needed me most. But adam was. And after you got done blaming him for ava, it’s like the two of you were two broken pieces that got glued back together. And there wasn’t anything that was gonna tear you apart. Not even my love for you, sally, which is so obvious to me now.

Sally: But I choose you.

Nick: Do you? For how long? Are you just delaying the inevitable?

Sally: It’s like I’m– I’m saying the words and you’re not hearing them. Like you’re just listening to the version that you made up instead.

Nick: I think that kiss tapped into some emotional truth for you.

Sally: No, nick, you’re wrong.

Nick: Listen to me, I’m not wrong. You just refuse to see it right now. And until you do, I can’t be with you.

Victoria: I don’t need to be protected, nate.

Nate: Of course. That didn’t come out right. I am well aware that you are more than capable of handling whatever comes your way. I just meant that I’m here for you, okay? I’m your second in command, your partner, your sounding board. Whatever you need me to be. And a difference of opinion doesn’t make that any less true. Are we good? Look, I need to head back to the office for a conference call. Ride with me.

Victoria: No, you go ahead. I’ll see you later.

Nate: Okay. I’ll see you later.

Claire: I’ll take care of this right away.

Nikki: Excellent.

Audra: I am pleased to report that the tactic worked. Our negotiation with the podcast network is moving forward.

Nikki: Well done. And to you too, claire.

Claire: Oh, I just threw out a suggestion, audra made it work. And I’m sure it’s not anything you didn’t already know.

Audra: We all need a reminder sometimes.

Nikki: Well, I have a meeting with the finance team, so I will see you ladies later.

Claire: I hope you don’t think I crossed a line.

Audra: Of course not.

Claire: It’s just nikki asked me, so–

Audra: Claire, it’s fine. We’re te and I believe, uh, good ideas can come from anywhere. You know, if no one listened to me when I started, I wouldn’t be where I am. So, first day… how do you think it’s going?

Claire: This is my dream job. I just– I hope I can prove myself. Meet nikki’s expectations. And yours, of course.

Audra: Yeah, I’m sure you will. We’re all very happy to have you here.

Claire: Thank you. That means a lot. Just keep up the good work. I think this will be a very exciting time for all of us.

Adam: Pops.

Victor: Hey, son.

Adam: How’s your day going so far?

Victor: Yeah, all right. Are you comfortable in your new job?

Adam: Uh, not by a long shot. I’m not used to being someone’s assistant, obviously. But you did give me the bottom of the ladder because I asked for it, so I’m working hard trying to anticipate nate’s every move.

Victor: You know, I gotta be honest with you. I– I didn’t think you could pull it off.

Adam: Well, how you like me now?

Victor: Well–

Adam: Am I passing your test?

Victor: That’s too soon to judge, you know. Give it a little time.

Adam: Yeah, I guess it is early days for that. I will say, it is an interesting exercise though. Being on the, uh, background doing the grunt work. It’s a lesson on how to treat my own assistant if I climb up the ladder again.

Victor: Anything specific?

Adam: Well, how about this? I’ll have my dry cleaning delivered instead of telling my assistant to pick it up.

Victor: Well now, that’s a hell of a lesson to have learned, okay?

Adam: Yeah, like you said though, it’s a little too early to tell if I’m gonna make it to the other side of this.

Victor: Definitely.

Adam: There’s still time for me to fail. Start lashing out again.

Victor: Son, I just hope that you won’t, you know, indulge in your slash-and-burn habits again. I mean, I’d be very disappointed to know that I’d wasted my time. Some luxury creams just sit on top of skin.

Claire: Oh, audra. Is there anything I can do for you while I’m waiting for nikki to come back?

Audra: Oh, no thanks. I’m fine for now.

Claire: All right. Well, I’ll be at my desk. Don’t hesitate to let me know if you think of something.

Audra: Of course.

Nate: Adam, there you are. Hello, victor.

Victor: Hey, nate. You need something?

Nate: I do. Uh, my assistant. I’d like you to sit in on a conference call.

Adam: Well, you got it, boss.

Victor: Well, all right. And nicholas do a good job.

Adam: That’s funny.

Victor: What?

Adam: Is that a joke? Now that I’m falling in line, just like my brother.

Victor: What are you talking about? You have a good day, guys.

Victoria: Well, let’s see. He set up nick and sharon and adam with their own business, and then he changed the rules on them before they even had a chance to get it off the ground. He let adam’s blackmail scheme go unpunished and then later, he fired him. And then, he went forward with the merger plan that he told adam was a no-go two weeks earlier. He offered sally this great job at a new division at newman enterprises and then he ripped the rug out from underneath her five minutes later.

Nikki: Okay. You know what I think? I think that you are taking some of your father’s decisions out of context. It is his company. He’s allowed to change his mind and do whatever he wants to with it.

Victoria: Of course, but he’s doing it so erratically. Can you not see that? There’s no rhyme, no reason to some of the choices that he’s made. No sound business sense whatsoever. It’s like these decisions are more about him flexing his corporate muscle just to show that he can. And putting people in their place, sometimes just to be vindictive. I’m saying that our father’s behavior is not normal. I mean, you– you’ve even agreed with me. You said that he’s not acting like himself. He’s usually so strong and decisive, not all of this back and forth and constantly changing his mind. And yes, I’m sure adam is partly to blame. When isn’t he? But there’s more to it.

Nick: Are you really that concerned with dad’s decision-making right now? Or are you just using this as an excuse to get your job back?

Victoria: Really, nick? Really? Do you think that I would use my concern for our father as some sort of a power play? Have you forgotten about his past medical issues? I mean, yeah, sure, he can– he can pound on a punching bag all day long, but this is about more than just his physical strength. This is about his mind too.

Nick: Look, whether your concern for dad is genuine or not, dad’s gonna see it as sour grapes. It’s the way it’s gonna be. He’s gonna see this as some ploy to get your job back. Can you imagine the fury that is going to rain down upon you if you ever suggest to our father he’s incapable of running the company that he built?

Victoria: Then what should I do about it?

Nick: You need to let mom deal with it, right? And just accept the fact that you’re not in the top spot right now. And be cool to him. Keep that father-daughter peace if you ever hope to get your position back someday.

[ Victoria exhaling ]

Victoria: Oh, hey.

Nick: Hey.

Victoria: Um, do you have a– a few minutes?

Nick: Sure. Everything okay?

Victoria: I was just wondering if you have had any time to spend with dad since we last talked.

Nick: No. Why do you ask?

Victoria: Well, I was hoping that you finally had the chance to notice what’s really obvious to me, that dad is just off his game.

Nick: Look, vic, I’ve told you. You’re imagining things that simply aren’t there. Dad came back to newman and he took your job.

Victoria: No, you’re wrong. He’s not himself.

Nick: You’re just bitter, vic.

Victoria: No, I’m not. I’m– I’m on an island. I’m alone. I– I– I feel like I’m isolated in an office full of people. Some of whom are my own family, one of whom I’m dating.

Nick: What do you mean by that?

Victoria: Look, um, nate and I just aren’t seeing eye to eye right now. He agrees with you that I shouldn’t be concerned with dad. And mom has gone off to newman media. She was my right hand. I mean, I miss working with her very much. One brother has left me in the lurch and the other’s just– you’re right, okay? You’re right. What dad did hurt, but that doesn’t mean that I’m imagining that dad is not the leader that he used to be.

Nick: Okay. Uh, what can I do?

Victoria: Reconsider. Come back to newman.

Nick: Vic, come on.

Victoria: Is working with sharon really that much better than working with me?

Nick: All right. That’s not fair and you know it.

Victoria: Okay. Well, then what are you doing? Are you trying to prove a point to dad and to all of us that you can walk away from newman whenever you want? I mean, if that’s all this is, then I think you’ve made that point already. Please, nicholas, I need you. I don’t trust adam, obviously. And I’m– I really am scared for our father. Would you please come back home?

Remember

the things you loved…

Adam: Well, that was weird.

Nate: Has that ever happened before? I know that parents with multiple children sometimes say one name when they mean another, but–

Adam: He’s never called me anything but adam. Or “my boy” or “son.” Or some kind of derogatory term I’m probably blocking out, but he has never called me nicholas before.

Nate: So, he was distracted and got mixed up. Victoria thinks stress–

Adam: No, he wasn’t mixed up. I mean, come on victor newman.Th was some kind of dig.

Nate: Or just a slip of the tongue. We all do it.

Nikki: What was a slip of the tongue?

Adam: Victor, he just, uh, confused me with nick.

Nick: Look, vic, I am always in your corner, all right? You can count on me, no matter what. I hope you know that. But it’s gonna have to be from outside newman towers.

Victoria: Okay. Will you at least think about it? Even if the c-suite is a no-go, I understand. But will you at least spend some time with dad so you can see what I’m talking about? I’m genuinely worried about him, nick.

Nick: All right, I’ll check it out. I’ll do what I can.

Victoria: All right. Thank you.

Nick: I love you.

Victoria: I love you too.

Nick: Listen to me. I’m not wrong. You just refuse to see it right now. And until you do, I can’t be with you.

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Phone chiming ]

Nikki: Is everything all right, darling?

Victor: Hi, sweetheart. Why do you ask?

Nikki: Well, I ran into adam outside and he said that you called him by the wrong name.

Victor: Yeah, I called him nicholas.

Nikki: So, you knew you did it?

Victor: Yeah, it was intentional.

Nikki: Intentional? Why on earth would you do such a thing?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Yeah. I almost forgot how great it is to swim in the ocean. What?! How could you forget? This was, like, our second home when we were kids. And especially you. You guys come here way more than the rest of us. Yeah, I know. That’s true. But I just — it’s — it’s been a while since I’ve been back. You should have joined us, dad. The water was so warm. I feel totally refreshed. Well, I’m just happy you enjoyed it, but I’ll check it out later ’cause I need to drink my morning coffee. You know how that goes. What’s this? Oh, that’s nothing. Oh, ho, ho, ho! I’m sorry. Are you writing your own vows? -Kristina, give it back. -[ Gasps ] You’re handwriting your vows? Who are you and what have you done with our tough-as-nails father? Michael, our dad’s in love. Thank you. It’s finally happening. Sonny: Maybe we wound up in this town for a reason. Maybe it’s our chance for happiness. You don’t think we owe it to ourselves to give it a shot? Who knows? It might be the start of something big. Love is hard but it’s worth the fight sonny: The more I’ve gotten to know you, the more that I’m drawn to you. The past was dark to our first date. But now I’m bathed in light well, there’s things that you don’t know about you, mike, and things that you don’t know about me. Sonny: I remember everything, nina. But the more I’ve gotten to know you, the more that I’m drawn to you. I never expected to fall in love with you. Mike never expected to fall in love with you, either. And those feelings, they just don’t disappear. Sonny, you are unlike any man that I have ever known. You make me happy, and I want to embrace that happiness.

[ Both laugh ]

And it’s you sonny: I see a future with you. It’s always been you but even you have to admit that the cards are stacked against us. It’s you I love it’s you sonny: The only thing I’m going to admit is I’m falling in love with you a little more every single day. That’s easy to say now. Now and forever. Forever. Marry me. I don’t want a pity proposal. Pity?! Have you ever thought of proposing to me before tonight? Sonny: Yeah. From the second I met you. I didn’t know who I was. It didn’t matter. Because I know what I felt. And I still do. Because you are brave and you’re a fighter. And I want you to allow me to fight alongside you. And it’s you it’s always been you you really want to marry me? Absolutely. You want to rethink your answer? And it’s you I say yes! Yes! It’s you yes! Yes! No, martin. I haven’t changed my mind. I want you to go all-out and expose drew and carly for engaging in insider trading. Just make sure to keep my name out of it. Donna: Nina, nina! Hi, sweetheart! Wow! You are up early. I was too excited to sleep. Yeah. I get it. Me too. So, what do you think about this chapel, huh? This is where I am going to marry your daddy. I like it.

[ Laughs ] Good! So do I. After you marry my daddy, are you going to be my second mommy? Yes, donna. I will. Good. Now I will have two mommies, just like avery.

[ Chuckles ] Harmony: Come on, honey. It’s time to get up. You don’t want to be late for the wedding. Hm. What are you doing here? I’m doing what I’ve done your entire life. I’m here to protect you.

[ Knock on door ] I’m studying! Go away! Okay. No problem. I’ll talk to you later. Wait! Wait, wait. Wait. I didn’t know it was you. What are you doing here? Are you alone or is trina around? I’m alone. Good. Because I really missed you. Really? How bad? This bad.

[ Chuckles ] Dr. Gatlin-holt. Bless you for coming. Help! Can anyone hear me?! Help me! No one can hear you, ava. You’re wasting your energy. No one can hear all the noise you’re making… and no one’s coming to help you.


I can’t even put into words how incredibly grateful I am that the judge is considering me for a hardship release, which, if he grants, it means an early parole. Right. Good for you. It truly is a miracle that the court is going to take my age and fragile health into account. But they can’t just go on my word telling them that I don’t have the physical capacity to harm anyone. They need a doctor’s opinion, someone who is familiar with my medical history. So, again, thank you, dr. Gatlin-holt, for coming here to speak on my behalf. Sure. Yeah. Right. I mean, once I figured out what was at stake, I didn’t really have a choice, did I? I don’t think you want to be banging on those pipes, making so much noise. You should know — this basement — crawling with rats and cockroaches. I really don’t think it’s the type of place you want to be in your bare feet. You sick son of a bitch. How dare you hold me in these disgusting conditions. It’s inhumane! I’m sorry. I would have loved to put you up in a place more posh. Even for at least my own comfort. But unfortunately for both of us, you really pissed my boss off when you double-crossed us and you let sonny know what we were up to. That was a big mistake. Okay. Okay. Hold on.

[ Laughs ] I’m so happy you’re here. I’m always happy to see you. Well, I like the sound of that ’cause I’m always happy to see you, too. But I’m confused. Aren’t you on duty? Why aren’t you with sonny? Boss gave me a few days off. Oh. Time off for good behavior? Oh, hilarious. No, he’s out of town for a few days, so he gave me the time off. Wait. If he’s out of town, why wouldn’t he want his bodyguard with him? That doesn’t make sense. Well, uh, sonny and nina flew to puerto rico. Oh. He wants to show her the island property. I’m only surprised it took this long. It’s — it’s a little more than showing off the island property. What do you mean? Sonny and nina flew to puerto rico to elope. I have not finished writing my vows. Well, read them to me and michael, and we’ll give you our feedback. Yeah. I appreciate the offer, but you’re not gonna hear the vows until nina hears the vows. Speaking of your wife-to-be, it’s her first time on the island. What does she think? Well, she wanted to, like, sleep in separate rooms last night. Why? What do you mean, why? Because she didn’t — she didn’t want to see me until she sees me at the altar. I-I think that’s very sweet, dad. She don’t want to risk, you know, any bad luck at our wedding. Before I become your second mommy, there are two very important things that I need you to help me with today. Okay! Okay. I need you to think about this. Will you be my flower girl? Yes! I can do it!

[ Laughs ] I was a flower girl at willow and michael’s wedding. I know! I know! Your dad told me. He even showed me pictures. You were so great. He was so proud of you. Wiley told me that you’re willow’s mommy. Yeah. Wiley is correct. I am willow’s mom. After you get married, is willow going to be my sister? Well, yes, in a way, she will be your sister, but I think it’s simpler to think that we will all be one big family.

[ Laughs ] I like that. Yeah, I like it, too. Come on. So what’s the other important thing? Oh! Yes. Oh. Okay. It’s really, really bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony on the wedding day, so your mission is to make sure that your daddy does not see me too soon. Willow. Honey, I’m here to warn you. It’s very important. Warn me about what exactly?

[ No audio ] Mom. Mom. What are you trying to tell me?! Wha– what?! Wiley: Mommy! Wake up! Time to get ready for grandpa and grandma’s wedding!


Sonny and nina are getting married? How do you know this? How do you know this before i know this? Sonny is my boss. Right. Uh, does my mom know? ‘Cause I think she might be a little shocked when she finds out about this. She already knows. How? When? Yesterday. Sonny thought it was important to tell her in person himself, and he wanted the family to go down there with him. He wanted to take donna, and he needed her to be okay with that. Okay. When you say that sonny wanted the family there, who is it you’re talking about? I mean, did kristina decide to go? Maybe you should get this information from your mom. No, no, no, no. I’m asking you, dex. Who else is going? Dante wanted to go, but he couldn’t get away on such short notice. And? And michael and willow went, and they took wiley. I drove them to the airport.

[ Scoffs ] Okay. Uh, this just doesn’t really make sense to me because they decide to elope and nobody tells me. Kristina going, yeah, of course. But michael and willow? Nobody has hated anyone more than michael hates sonny for being with nina. So him going to puerto rico, I mean, how does he not tell me that?! You’ve been locked in here studying for days. Yeah, I’ve been studying for an exam I have coming up. Michael can’t take five minutes out of his day to — to give me a major life update? Neither my mom or michael telling me this? This doesn’t make any sense. Well, maybe they just thought you wouldn’t care. I don’t care. Okay, but — but what? Then I have to ask… why is this bothering you so much? Why’d you sleep so late, mommy? Are you sick again? Oh, honey. No. No, no, no. No. The doctors say I’m all better. I just slept late. That’s all. Maybe that’s because amelia’s not here to wake me up. She cries a lot.

[ Laughs ] Sweetheart, that’s what — that’s what babies do. I’m just glad you’re not sick anymore. Me too. Hey. Come here. Oh, honey. I hope you know how much I love you and that I love being your mommy. And amelia’s mommy. I’m not going to leave either one of you. Hey, you two. Alright. Let’s rise and shine. It’s time to get ready for a wedding. Yay! Right there. Yeah. Okay. I know you didn’t ask for my opinion, but can I just tell you how happy I am you decided to elope? Well, I have a feeling you’re gonna tell me whether I should say yes or no. That’s — that’s accurate, yes. No, but seriously, dad. It’s — it’s so perfect here on the island, you know? It’s — it’s warm, and it’s relaxing, and there’s nothing fraught or tense. You know, it’s — it’s intimate. It was such a good call. You know what’s a better call? That you decided to come. Thank you. I’m bummed that dante and avery couldn’t be here, of course, but, hey, at least you got the rest of the kids, right? I mean, you got the most important one. Your favorite one. Listen. I am so happy that you were one of the, you know — the first one in the family to be open to nina like she’s part of the family. Yeah, of course, dad. It’s obvious how happy nina makes you. And that’s all I’ve ever wanted for you. You know, in the end, isn’t that really the only thing that matters? Yeah. You know what really matters? Hm? Is that you’re happy. Donna: Kristina, kristina! Hi! We have to get ready, but we can’t let daddy see nina. It’s bad luck! Sweetie, if I just run into her, it doesn’t count. No, dad. It absolutely counts. You can’t see her until the wedding! Okay. Listen. You know what? You’re the boss, so whatever you say goes. I will do — you know, you give me orders, and I’ll do it. Ready? Okay.

[ Kristina and donna laugh ] Oh. Hey. Hey. What are you doing here, scott? Client’s a client. Everybody gets a lawyer. It’s in the constitution. Mr. Baldwin. It’s good to see my legal counsel in person. Obviously, my payment must have cleared. Yeah, it did, and just so you know, that’s why I’m representing you — because you paid top dollar. And I can’t guarantee anything that goes on in the judge’s chambers. Well, all I expect you to do is your best. Well, that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. However, it’s gonna be a tough sell to the judge that you’re no longer a menace to society, considering all the crimes you committed. Well, considering the amount of money I’ve paid you, I expect you to make a truly heroic argument in my favor.


Just, uh, so you know, donna put me in charge of making sure you don’t go anywhere near nina before she walks down the aisle. I-I wouldn’t dream of disobeying donna. Yeah. She’s pretty tough. I wonder where she gets that from. Yeah. Speaking of which, I went to talk to carly because, you know, I was gonna tell her I was marrying nina ’cause I needed to know if it was okay to bring donna to the island. Well, good. I’m glad you and mom made peace. I think it’s best for everyone if we — we move on. Best for everyone? Does that include you and me?

[ Knock on door ] Nina: I — this better not be the groom-to-be! It’s just willow and me. No grooms here. -Hi! -Hi! You look great! Oh, my gosh! You are so beautiful! So are you. And michael was drafted by donna to make sure that sonny doesn’t try and wander off. So there is no chance that he’s going to get an accidental glimpse of his bride. Great. Well, when I asked donna to help out, you know, I just wanted her to feel included. I had no idea how seriously she was gonna take this. Oh, the only thing that tore donna from her guard post was that she needed to change into her flower-girl dress. Kristina: Aww. Aww. That’s why we’re here. We are going to ensure that there is nothing but good luck for the bride and groom. Thank you. I am so glad that you both are here. I don’t want to care about sonny or what he does, but I do. And… I feel left out. And maybe I shouldn’t — because I have been abundantly clear to everybody on how I feel about him. But…I feel alone in this grudge now. And I don’t know what to do. I mean, I feel crazy. I don’t want to feel this way. A lot to take in. I get it.

[ Knock on door ] Oh, josslyn. Thank god you’re here. Pilar. What are you doing here? I am so sorry to bother you, but have you heard from ms. Jerome? No. I haven’T. Is everything okay? I didn’t tell sonny anything! If your boss’s “plan” fell apart, it’s because he hired substandard help. You know, this is really your fault for using someone as obvious as betty to spy on sonny.

[ Scoffs ] None that really matters anymore, though, does it? You are where you are. And for how long? Do you really think that nobody’s gonna notice that I’m gone? You’re here till I get further instructions. So until then, try to stay out of trouble. Oh… and watch out for those rats. Oh. Come on!

[ Laughs ] Oh, come on! Don’t leave me down here! C–

[ Door closes ] Alright, then. Okay, then. And stay gone. It’ll give me a time to figure out a way out of here. Judge sinclair: Want you to know, mr. Renault, that I believe in rehabilitation. So much so that I’m on the board of a foundation to end recidivism. But not every prisoner is worthy of a second chance. Your criminal record is long, and it ended with a hostage situation. So whatever decision I make, I’m gonna have to defend it to the public. So why do you think that you should be released? Your honor, I understand your hesitancy. This is a multi-pronged request. My client is reformed. He found god, and he has turned his life around. And his health is very fragile. He suffered a heart attack. So he is no longer a menace to society.


I have never been a bride before, obviously, but I have been a part of plenty of weddings, and there is no way we are letting you marry my dad without giving you all the tradition. Thank you. I appreciate your commitment, kristina, but I thought we covered it on our flight here that, you know, I don’t need all that stuff — you know, something borrowed, something blue — to make this day perfect. Totally. I mean, we let you think that you were gonna have your way on the plane over here. Oh. Really? But it is your day, nina. It’s really up to you. Sure. Let’s do it. Let’s do it. Okay. This should cover your something borrowed. Look at these. -You like? -They’re so beautiful! Oh, my goodness. I love them. Thank you. This is my gift to you, whether you wear this today or sometime in the future.

[ Gasps ] Thank you so much! Look at this shawl. It’s absolutely lovely. Well, I know you were planning a much bigger wedding, so with how close you are to maxie, I asked for her input on a fashion-forward item that would work as your something new, and she instantly picked out this shawl. Plus, now maxie gets to be a part of your wedding. Yes. I just love this shawl. It’s just absolutely beautiful. And I love the fact that whenever I wear it, I will feel maxie’s presence. This covers the old and the blue. I hope you like it. It’S… it’s beautiful. And that it came from my — you. So, it belonged to my m– it belonged to harmony. She gave it to me on my 16th birthday, and according to her, turquoise is supposed to bring peace, luck, and protection.

[ Chuckles ] I love this. I love it. I will love it for the rest of my life. Thank you. I told you this was a good idea. Right?

[ Laughs ] Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. You know, I always — I always love coming here. There’s something so calming about the ocean. Yeah. When you guys were kids, it was — we had the greatest time. And it’s ironic because I bought this island because I-I want to spend the rest of my life here. I wanted it alone without anybody. Now it’s turned out to be the opposite. This has become my family refuge. And now… …it’s the place where I’m gonna get married. Yeah. I-I can’t help but think about coming here as a kid. With morgan. And whenever I smell the ocean air, I just — I just think of my brother. Yeah, I think of your brother morgan every day. Me too. And, dad, I — I hope you know how much he loved you. And I really think he’d be very happy for you today. Thank you for saying that. And, uh…me, I’m — I’m happy for you, too. Um, pilar, where’s avery now? Pilar: She’s with my mom. I’ve been trying to get ahold of ms. Jerome since last night, and I can’t receive a response back, not even a text. And it’s just not like her. She was supposed to pick up avery at 5:00 P.M. And she never showed up. Maybe she just got the days mixed up. No, no. Look. I know ava and how much she cares for avery. She doesn’t just forget to pick her up or mix up days. And I know avery’s dad is out of town for the wedding for a few days. And it’s not that I mind taking care of avery. She’s an absolute joy. But when I don’t hear from ms. Jerome, it just feels like something’s wrong. Look. It’s gonna be okay. We’re gonna find her. I don’t know. Maybe I’m being paranoid. I’ve been overthinking things ever since the day avery wandered away from me in the park. Look, I-I thought about calling your mom, but she’s been dealing with so much with mr. Cain in the hospital. That’s why I came to you, josslyn. W-what do you think? Should we call your mom? Look. I kind of want to leave my mom out of this because — you’re right. She has a lot on her plate right now. Let’s establish a timeline. When and where did you last see ms. Jerome? From a-a life of crime to finding god and turning himself into a new man and preaching to his inmates. And he has taken all of his possessions and he has sold them and given that money to charity. My client has made it a mission for him to help his former inmates build better and honorable lives. Warden garten: It isn’t cyrus renault’s first day at pentonville, but it is his first day as a model prisoner. I’m often dubious of people who claim to find religion, but in mr. Renault’s case, it seems to certainly have made him a better person. He’s been a good example to his fellow prisoners, and he truly has earned a position of trust. Medically speaking, cyrus renault is still recovering from his heart attack, a heart attack that has done irreparable damage to his heart and left him extremely weak. I do not believe that he is physically a threat to anybody. In fact, if he were to remain in custody without proper and adequate medical care, he could become debilitated, vulnerable to attack himself, unable to defend himself. So it’s your contention that if cyrus renault is released back into society he could not harm another person? Yes. That is what I believe.


You know, we’re at a destination wedding on a gorgeous island. Don’t you think you want to take a little time to take that in instead of being buried in your phone? That is ironic coming from you. Where’s dad anyway? Oh. Uh, yeah. You know him. Even though this is supposed to be a stripped-down elopement, he still wants everything to be perfect, so, of course, he’s at the chapel making sure everything is ready to go. It’s my wedding day. We both know it’s not…my first. I’m just praying that it… it’s my last. When nina came into my life… …I didn’t know who I was. She made me feel whole again. And I started to believe that if… even if I didn’t remember my past, that my present life would be enough. And then a miracle happened. I remembered who I was. I remembered my children. My grandchildren. But I could not shake the feelings that I had for nina. I love her with all my heart. Please, lord. Help me make this day special. Help me make nina happy… in the way that she deserves.

[ Line ringing ] Ava: You’ve reached

ava jerome.

I’m unable to take your call.

Leave me a message.

[ Beep ] Ava! Your voicemail again? Come on! I have been trying to get ahold of you for days. I just feel completely out of touch with you. Well, I’ll just leave it on your voicemail. Um… I’m in puerto rico. And it’s my wedding day, ava. Please, please, please. Do not feel, like, you know, slighted because I didn’t invite you.

She gave me th– well, I’ll just tell you when I — when I talk to you. I was just thinking about you, and I just wanted to let you know this is the happiest day of my life.

I know that you’re worried about ava, but just try not to let avery know what’s going on. And stay in touch with josslyn in case you hear anything from ava. And you should reach out to dante. It can’t hurt to put it on the pcpd’s radar that ava might be missing. Right. Right. I’ll keep you updated. Thank you. So what do you think? I mean, do you think ava’s in danger? Yeah. Without a doubt.


[ Speaking spanish ] It’s my pleasure, mr. Corinthos. Are you all ready, donna? Yes! Yeah? Are you all set with your flower-girl basket? I’m ready to go! Okay, buddy. Do you know what to do as a ring bearer? Yeah. I carry the rings. My man.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey. Hey, Alex. What are you doing here? Can’t a father stop by to see his son?

Excuse me. May I help you? I apologize for showing up unannounced. Your valet Henderson told me I would find you in here. I’m sorry, but who are you? My name is Constantine Miliones. I was a close, personal friend of your late husband. You and Victor were friends? Lifelong friends. I’m here to offer my sincere apologies to you for the loss of such a great man.

I can only imagine how hard this must feel for you and your family.

Yeah, Teresa Tate is fine. He is settling in the guest room. Yeah, no, no, listen, I’ll tell him that you said goodnight. Yeah, no, I will. I gotta go. Okay, I’ll talk to you later.

Chloe, hey. Hi, uh, can I come in? Yeah, yeah, sure, of course. So, what’s up? I came to say goodbye. I’m leaving Salem.

You’re leaving town with Chloe? I know this must seem sudden. Well, yeah, you could say that. You just got back. Are you and Chloe back together? Just friends. Friends leaving town together. Not… Together, together, just, uh, you know, at the same time. To the same city. I will admit, I still have feelings for Chloe.

Does she still have feelings for you? She does. But, she just ended things with Xander, and… I don’t want to get ahead of myself. Oh, so going to New York is… Is about each of us getting a fresh start. Hmm. And hey, New York’s not that far away. We’ll be back! You and Sean can visit whenever you want. Well, that’s not gonna happen.

Why not? What do you mean? Well, I guess I don’t know where things stand with Sean and me. You see, he… Cheated on me.

I really appreciate you arranging this on such short notice. I um, I need to get my life back on track. Especially after all the mistakes that I’ve made.

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

So, are you moving to New York because of what happened with Xander? Yes, and no, but it was definitely a part of the decision making. But mostly I just. I feel like I need to hit the reset button and be close to Parker. Yeah, well he’s gonna be psyched to have his mom in the same zip code, that’s for sure.

Not as psyched as his mom will be. You know, Theresa and I, we don’t, uh, we don’t agree on much, but we do agree that it is nice to have Tate with us. Oh yeah, how’s that going? He’s a teenager, you know, so, we’re working through it. It’s fine. Well, that’s good. It’ll be good for him to be around you. Yeah, I, um, I’m hoping.

When do you leave? Tomorrow morning. Oh. Uh, with Phillip. What?

Yeah, Phillip is moving to New York as well.

Uh, so. Sean’s been cheating on you with his partner’s sister. Well, he said it only happened once. Just like a, I don’t know, a drunken one night thing. But, I mean, I believe him. He doesn’t really have a reason to lie to me at this point. So, are you guys trying to work things out? Uh, actually, we’re not. No point.

No point. I don’t think that there’s anything that we could do to get this back on track. I think my marriage may be over. Uh, Talia, are you, uh, you looking for your sister? No, um, actually, I came to see you. I figured we should probably talk, seeing that now your wife knows about us. Yeah, you, uh, you heard about that.

Yeah. So where do you guys stand? You think she’d be able to forgive you? I don’t know. Belle’s This might be her breaking point.

How you doing? Nice and chilled. Yep. I,

um, just want to state the obvious. You are still my son. In every way that counts. And nothing will change that. I hope you feel that way too.

I do. Of course I do. I’m sorry if I didn’t react well when I first found out the truth.

But now that I’ve had some time to process it, I need you to know that I love you. Very much. I’m grateful for you. I’m grateful for my brothers. I’m very relieved to hear you say that. Come here. I love you, Alex. I love you, too. I love you, too. Now, um, What about Maggie? What about it? Well, I heard you took her spot as CEO of Titan.

Yeah, I did. I’m Victor’s heir. Uh huh. So, does that mean you’ll be staking your claim to the family home next?

Thank you.

You have a lovely home, Mrs. Kiriakis. Thank you. It feels kind of empty, though, without my husband. Victor spoke of you often. I know how much he loved and he cherished you. Thank you for saying that. Mr. Melionis. Oh, please, Chris. Constantine. Constantine. Yes. But surely, you didn’t come all this way just to…

Share condolences. A letter or phone call felt too impersonal. Besides, I have something for you.

Sean, I’m so sorry that you have to go through this. Maybe after your wife is done with the shock and the anger, you guys can move past this. Nah, it’s, it’s a lot more complicated than that. God, I just hate the thought that I’m the one responsible for breaking up your marriage. No, listen, my marriage was on rocky ground before you even entered the picture.

And so, if this is the end, the blame falls directly

on me. Some people would say I had this coming. Who the hell would say that? Jan Spears. Jan Spears is a jealous psychopath. Okay, then. My sister, Sammy. Oh, come on. Sammy would not want your marriage to fall apart. Oh, right. After I slept with EJ, she warned me that karma was going to bite me in the ass one day.

You know what? Who cares what Sammy or Jan thinks? Even if they’re right? I mean, come on, Philip. I cheated on Sean with EJ DiMera. Hell, I cheated on him with you. You and Sean weren’t married when we were together. We were engaged. We were basically kids then. And didn’t you tell me that you and Sean were separated when you slept with EJ?

We were on a break. That’s the defense you think I should use? And, and what about the guy in Maine? Belle, I know Sean. I promise you he hasn’t been sitting around waiting to even the score. Look, I can see that you’re hurt and angry. Why wouldn’t you be? But you can’t give up on your marriage. Sean’s in a dark place, but you can help him.

Go talk to him, Val. Right now.

Okay. Okay, I will, but only because you’re so insistent. I am! Because I know you two are meant to be together. Well, am I gonna see you again before you leave for New York? Probably not. What’s been really nice, having you back after all this time. And I am so proud of you for getting our life back together.

Sean can do it too. Now, go tell that jerk you still love him.

So, you’re giving Phillip another chance, huh? No, we are not. Moving to New York, both of us at the same time, but like I said, we are not a couple. Yeah, yeah, but there’s a chance that you two might end up getting together, right? Could happen. I mean, sure, yeah, it could. You know, he still loves me, and I still have unresolved feelings for him.

And I would understand why you’d think it’d be crazy for me to even consider that, considering everything that he put us through. But at the end of the day, I hope that you trust me to make the right choices.

All I’ve ever wanted is for you to be happy. That’s it. I shouldn’t be surprised. I mean, you two were high school sweethearts, and you… You never really get over your first love. I don’t think that’s true. I do. Because you were my first love. And I don’t think I’m ever gonna really get over you.

What is that warning about Greeks wearing gifts? I assure you, this is no Trojan horse. Please, open it. Thank you. My goodness. A photo album? It belonged to my parents. Oh. It’s beautiful.

Oh, these pictures. Oh, is that Victor? It most certainly is. Oh. I’ve never seen a photo of him at this age. He was so young and handsome. There are many pictures of him in there. Our families were very close. Hmm. He had such style. Well, and that twinkle in his eye. I wanna thank you for letting me see this. I appreciate it.

It is yours to keep. I hope it brings you comfort for days and years to come. It’s such a special gift. I, how can I ever repay you? Do you know Victor loaned me money when I started my restaurant? I didn’t know that. And when I tried to repay him, he wouldn’t accept a penny. He wouldn’t even take the free meals I offered when he visited.

So, let’s consider it even. Besides, I would consider your smile payment enough.

You’re making it sound like I just kicked Auntie Maggie to the curb. Well, didn’t you? No. I offered for her to stay on and come work for me. Huh. How gracious of you. More gracious than Maggie was when she fired my ass. Oh, so who can blame you for, you know, wanting a little payback, right? No, no, no, no, that’s not what’s going on here.

Then what is it? Like I said, I’m Victor’s heir. I know this business. I belong at the top of his company. Yes, Maggie was his wife, and despite our differences, I know she and Victor loved each other very much. And I would never do anything to intentionally hurt her.

So you were sincere when you offered her a job. Of course. And as far as the mansion goes, Victor left half of it to me. He left the other half to Maggie. So even if I wanted to give her the boot, I couldn’t do it. And I don’t, I don’t want to. You believe me, right?

Yeah, I do. I believe you. Alright, thank you. And I, I’m sorry if I was, uh, you know, so accusatory. I didn’t really know how it all went down, Alex. Hey, I get it. I get why you’d be worried. But, I’m telling you, it’s not like I just found out that Victor is my bio dad, and now I’m suddenly swimming in this pool of gold coins like Scrooge McDuck.

Now there’s an image. I’m still me, alright?

I’m just trying to come to terms with this, new reality, like everybody else.

Seriously, Mom? You really gonna pretend you don’t see me sitting here? What I would really like to get ensnared in Chloe’s web again.

I really want you to know that I’m sorry for, uh, everything. You have nothing to apologize for. Um, are you forgetting that all the hell that Kristen and Rachel put you through? Come on. No, I haven’t forgotten that, but Brady, you tried your best in an impossible situation. Yeah, but my best wasn’t good enough, because here we are again, saying goodbye.

Listen. I want you to know that I don’t regret a single moment of our time together. Really? Come on, not a single, I mean, what about the times that Kristen threatened you? I mean, multiple times, right? Okay, maybe a moment or two, but seriously, sitting here with you as a friend, I’m so grateful for all of it.

And you will always be here, in my heart. Always. And you will be fine.

Listen, Sean, we both made bad decisions that night. I mean, you were hurt about your grandfather and your dad, and I was hurt about the breakup with Chanel. You add alcohol to that and stir it up, and… Yeah, it’s a perfect recipe for disaster. Exactly. So, Sean… How about you give yourself the same grace that you’re giving me?

You’re a great guy, okay? And everybody knows that except for you.

I hope I’m not interrupting.

Belle. I need to speak to my husband, do you mind? Yeah, no, no, of course. I was just leaving anyways. Bye, Sean.

Tell her she came here to apologize. I’m not here to talk about

Talia. Okay. What is it you want to talk about? You and me. I am hurt and I hate what you did. But I would like to try to forgive you. And get this behind us so that we can try and save our marriage.

Look, okay, um, I’d better get going if I’m gonna be ready to leave tomorrow. I have so much packing to do. I’m

gonna miss you. I’m really gonna miss you too.

Hey, you fill up my vest, will ya? Really? You mean that? Yeah, really. No, no, of course. No, I do. Listen. I want you to have the best life. Whatever that means. And if you can find it in your giant heart to forgive Phillip, then maybe I’m not ready too, but he must be on the right track.

Chloe is the reason that you were in a mental hospital halfway across the world. Chloe didn’t do anything wrong. Oh my God. Well, no, because she never does. But the people who get involved with her, their lives end up in ruins. That’s not true.

Phillip. You did terrible things. She made you crazy. Literally. And I’m better now. Okay. So why risk relapse by running off to New York with her? You’re, you’re barely back on your feet. And I know Chloe. I know her. She will drag you down again. Look, I know it’s easy to blame Chloe for how things ended up last time.

But she didn’t make me do all those unspeakable things to her and Brady. And we’re not running off to New York together. Okay, so what do you call it? Two friends, with history, getting a fresh start. History. Okay, so is that what they call toxic baggage these days? Because that’s what you share. And if you value yourself at all, you will call off this trip before it’s too late.

I,

I hope I didn’t make you sad. No, no. This was, this beautiful. Seeing Victor so young, I, I felt like I was, I was getting to know a whole new side of my husband. I’m glad I could provide you with a small glimpse into his past. Yeah. But you can’t say that man didn’t have a lust for life. Oh, he embraced life like no man I’ve ever known before or since.

I really should be going. You aren’t heading straight back to Greece, I hope. Oh, no. This old body cannot handle jet lag the way it used to. So then, you’re staying in Salem? For a while, at least. Victor told me so much about this strange and special place. I’m excited to explore it. Where are you staying? I was hoping you could help with that.

Would it be possible for you to recommend a decent motel that is not too expensive? A motel? Oh no, no, no, no, no, I won’t hear this. No friend of Victor Kiriakis is staying in a motel. You’ll just, you’ll stay here. Oh no, I could not impose. Have you seen the size of this place? Trust me, it’s not an imposition.

But you don’t even know me. Tonight, I have felt closer to Victor. Since, I don’t know, since I lost him. And that’s thanks to you, Constantine. So, you are staying here in Victor’s home. And I won’t hear another word to the contrary.

Now that we’ve established that you won’t be forcing Victor’s widow out into the street, I was wondering if, um, if I’m moving back in? You are lord of the manor. Or at least half of the manor. Doesn’t make much sense staying in a modest apartment when you co own a sprawling estate. You want me to move back in?

Yeah. It would be nice to have you there. Sheesh. Most parents can’t wait for their grown ass kids to move out. Well, technically, I’m the one who’s freeloading. I’ll think about it. In the meantime, just keep an eye on things over there for me, huh? Well, there’s not much to keep an eye on. It’s just Maggie and Bonnie and me in a big, old house with a full staff.

I will think about it. Got it.

Alice, um, I’m proud of you. For what? For not swimming in a pool of gold coins. It’s heady stuff to be handed all that money and all that power at your age. I’ve seen it up close, how it can corrupt. How it can change a person. And I can tell already that you’re not letting it go to your head. I’m trying my best.

If you ever start to look at me, and not recognize me, you’re gonna let me know. Right? Dad. I’ll let you know, son. I promise. I gotta get to work.

Thanks for the beer. Pleasure.

Oh, hi. Hi, Marlena. Hi. I thought I heard voices out here. I’m assuming you had company. Yeah, yeah, I did. Uh, Chloe, Chloe was here. Oh, honey, are you all right? I just found out that she’s, uh, she’s moving to New York. With Philip. We’ve, we’ve been over for a while, but I’m gonna miss her. I know you will. You’ve always had a very, very special relationship.

Yeah. Sorry. That’s the office.

What?

The plans are made, Mom. I’m going to New York. Liz, Chloe. Yes? You are aware that she just broke up with, uh, Xander Cook, right? So? So? You don’t think there’s a possibility this is just an elaborate ploy to make him jealous? Chloe’s done with Xander. She told me she’s over him, and I believe her. Well, there’s your first mistake.

Look, Chloe and I were taking things slow. Believe me, I have no interest in feeling how I felt last time. I hated who I became. I won’t let that happen again. How do you know? I know, because… Mom, I learned my lesson. You don’t have to worry about me. Of course I have to worry about you. I worry about you because I’m your mother.

And because I love you more than anything. I know. And I know you just want the best for me.

I thought that I had lost you forever. I watched you struggle through this whole past year and then come out of it. Only to find out that you’ve lost your father.

If you and dad hadn’t helped me get the best care possible. I could have ended up in prison. Or locked away in Bayview. Well, Victor and I did what we did because we loved you and we believed in you. And I still do. I love you too. More than you even realize.

Hi. Sorry to interrupt. Uh,

I wasn’t expecting this. Yeah, neither was I actually. I was ready to… Give up, but I think that if we put in the time that maybe we can get through this, you know, we’ve come this far, haven’t we? I think our marriage and our family deserve a chance to heal. Yeah. Uh, Belle, I can’t tell you how, how nice it is to hear you say this.

That you want to, that you want to forgive me and that you want to work on our marriage. But, um, I’m not going to be here to do that. Let me

get this straight. You, you quit Basic Black to go back to Titan and I got to hear about it from HR. And then I get to hear about my grandfather’s will from Bonnie of all people? I meant to call you. Call me? I think that’s a face to face scenario. You’re absolutely right, and that’s what I should have done.

I’m, I’m sorry. It’s just that things have been a little chaotic recently. So, you’re Victor’s son? How about that, huh? How about that, yeah. Listen, when I found out that he left me half of his estate, I felt like I owed it to the old man’s memory to go back there and run Titan properly. But yes, I should have let you know right away.

Yeah, well, especially considering I hired you right after Maggie gave you your walking papers, right? I know, I know. But I’m gonna make it up to you, and I already figured out how. This should be rich. It is. Almost as rich as I am. That’s, that’s, that’s good. I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I’m kidding, I’m kidding.

Basic Black’s exclusivity rights with DiMera Enterprises. It’s ending soon, right? That is correct. You should come on over to Titan. We will make you a better deal than you’ve ever had with DiMera. And then you will be a part of the Empire. Think about it. Victor’s son and Victor’s grandson back together again.

Wow. First you… You stabbed me in the back, and now you want to own me. You really are Victor’s son, aren’t you? Okay.

Hello? Hello there. Oh, Justin, you’re home. Um, I’d like for you to meet, um, Constantine… Meliunas. Meliunas. He’s, he’s, um, Constantine was a very dear friend of your Uncle Victor’s. Oh, Justin Kiriakis. Nice to meet you. A pleasure. I’ve heard so much about you and your family. Yeah, well, uh, so you’re, you came to offer your condolences?

Yes. All the way from Greece. But he’s going to be staying with us for a while.

So, Philip just told me about your plan. And? And?

If my son’s happy, then I’m happy. Thanks for saying that, Mom. Yes, thank you, Kate. So, I’m sure you have a lot of details to iron out before you depart, so I will let you get to that. I’ll stop by to say goodbye to Mara before we leave. You better. Hmm.

Did Chloe… Yes? Be careful of my son’s heart.

Oh, wow, that went a lot better than I expected. Yeah, it did. How’d it go with Brady? Uh, he wished us both well. Really? Even me? Even you. Wow. Generous of them. Thought we were gonna get nothing but grief. I think we should consider this a good sign. I agree. Oh, I almost forgot. I saw Belle. Oh yeah? How’s she doing?

Not well. You know that rough patch she and Sean have been going through? Yeah? It just got a whole lot rougher. You’re going away? Yeah, I found an outpatient rehab center near where my dad’s being treated. Oh, okay. Well, that makes sense. You would want to be near your mom and your dad. Yeah, Ben and Ciara are both there.

I’ll be able to spend some time with my little nephew. Yeah, that’ll be good. You’ll have your whole family there to support you. So, how long are you thinking? Like, six weeks? I mean, I can give up some of my caseload. It might be hard, but I think I can do it, even if it’s just for a little while. Or, I can, I can put in a leave of absence like you did, probably here at the Salem PD, we can get a short term rental.

Belle, I’m, I’m not gonna be gone for just a couple of months. Oh. Okay, well, how long are you thinking? I don’t know. As long as it takes for me to get my head on straight. But the thing is, I, um, Like, I need to do this without you.

Oh wow, poor Belle. I mean, I knew that things were rocky between her and Sean, but I never thought he’d do something like this. She’s pretty messed up over it. But, I convinced her not to give up on Sean without a fight. I’ll be sure to check in with her before we leave tomorrow. Who knows, Belle’s talk with Sean goes well, maybe we can all have a going away breakfast.

A last blast gang send off. I’d like that. So, we’re really doing this? Yeah, looks like it. No expectations. No promises. But a whole lot of hope.

So you don’t want me to go with you? Look, if, if you’re there, my focus is going to be on trying to, to save our marriage. And what I need to be focused on, trying to save myself. And you don’t think that I can help? It’s, Bella, I don’t, it’s like they, it’s like they tell you on an airplane. Right before you take off.

You know, in case the, uh, the cabin loses pressure, you’d… Put your mask on yourself first, yeah? Look, I can’t be worried about whether or not our marriage has oxygen when I can’t breathe myself. So you can’t breathe when I’m around, that’s what you’re saying? No, no, no, Bella, it’s not… I’m not… I’m not saying this right.

I… I just need some… I need some time away to work on my problems. If you and I are gonna ever stand a chance of rebuilding our marriage.

I’m sorry. I hope that you, uh, I hope you understand. Yeah, I get it. I don’t like it, but I get it. I think what I don’t understand is why you can lean on your mom and your sister but not me. I’m your wife. I know, Susan. This is not about me choosing them over you. It’s not. It’s about me showing up for them.

Showing up for them and facing what it is that I’ve done. When I left my dad and I came back here, I just… I just spiraled down, and not only did I, did I not see the damage that I caused, I left, I left my sister and my mom there to pick up the pieces, and I just feel like I need to be there with them, you know, to help myself heal.

And when you do that, are you gonna come home to me?

Yes. I want that more than anything.

Hope: My father and your mother together. This– this is insane.

Finn: No, I– I know. I– I couldn’t believe it when they told me.

Hope: Okay, my dad said that he is in love with sheila. In love. I mean, that doesn’t just happen overnight. They clearly must have been carrying on like this for a while and kept it a secret. I mean… what is my dad thinking?

Sheila: It’s kind of a relief our kids know, don’t you think?

Deacon: I think I’m feeling a lot of things. Relief isn’t one of them.

Sheila: Okay, I mean, finn and– and hope, we knew that they were going to be upset by this. There wasn’t anything that was ever gonna change that. I gotta tell you, my big takeaway from all of this is their reaction to our relationship proves that our– our children love us.

Deacon: That’s your big takeaway?

Sheila: Never underestimate the power of love, deacon. Wouldn’t it be something if our relationship is actually something that brings our families together?

Deacon: Yeah, that would be something.

Ridge: Mm.

Brooke: Ah. If we keep this up, we’ll never get any work done.

Ridge: You nuts? This is how I work. This is how I get inspired.

Brooke: Yeah?

Ridge: Uh-huh.

Brooke: Well, I have to say, this is really inspired.

Ridge: Well, that’s what I’m talking about. Look at it. And this is because of you. Like this. See this, how this sparkles? The way your eyes sparkle when you give me that look? That. That one? Yeah. Mm, right there. And see how this falls right here?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Just like your neck.

[ Brooke giggles ] Yeah?

Brooke: Wow. I didn’t know a neck could do all that.

Ridge: Mm-hmm. Your neck, your eyes, your… neck.

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: I’m just a simple man. With a woman like you, I can do anything.

Rj: I’m just gonna pretend I didn’t see the letter of resignation.

Luna: Rj, please. It’s for the best.

Rj: Luna, I’m not gonna let you walk out that door.

Brooke: So, you’re still confident that you’re going to win the design challenge?

Ridge: Yeah, I am. And sometimes, I wish I weren’T.

Brooke: Because of rj?

Ridge: Yeah. I don’t wanna destroy his confidence. And I get it, no one just walks up to the plate and hits a home run the first time, even with eric forrester coaching you. I just– I sometimes wish he were working with me, you know?

Brooke: Mm.

Ridge: Maybe save him for what’s to come.

Rj: You told me that it’s a family matter. Come on, let me– let me help you. Let me see what I can do.

Luna: Being here with you at forrester, I mean, it was too good to be true. And listen, it means the world to me that you want me to stay, but… it can’t happen. It’s better for everyone if I just go, okay? Just please trust me on this.

Rj: I trust you. Of course, I trust you. I want you just to trust me.

Luna: Rj, please. I have to go.

Rj: Please, just tell me what’s going on, okay? Please, just open up to me.

Sheila: Tell me what you’re feeling. I mean, seriously, don’t you feelerhaour children know about us?

Deacon: I feel like I just pulled the pin on a hand grenade.

[ Sheila laughs ] I think we ought to wait ’til the dust settles before we tell anyone about the engagement. It might push ’em right over the edge. I mean, love is one thing, but marriage?

Sheila: All right, I– I’m fine with keeping things under wraps a bit longer. But I’m serious! I really think our relationship could be what brings us all closer together. One big, happy family. I can see it.

Deacon: How many? ‘Cause I think you might need glasses.

Sheila: Just stop.

Hope: Seriously, uh, thank you for making me go see my dad because I cannot believe this. I mean, he’s in love with a legitimate psychopath. I just don’t understand what my dad could– could possibly see in her. I mean, he is endangering everybody by doing this. I mean… I can’t let him go through with this. I can’t let him do this.

You can feel it…

Sheila: What?

Deacon: I just never pegged you for a glass is half full kinda gal. You are, though, aren’t you?

Sheila: You know what? You’ve got to work towards something or– or what’s the point? I’ve never been accused of giving up without a fight.

Deacon: Truer words have never been spoken.

Sheila: I’m so happy. I– I’m free. I found love and I’ve got you and the children.

Deacon: The children… you really think that our relationship can be the glue that will hold our families together?

Sheila: I’ll tell you what. More and more, I am certain of it. I– I can see it.

Deacon: I don’t want you to be disappointed. You know, reluctant acceptance might be the best that we can expect.

Sheila: Deacon, deacon. How many times have I told you to not doubt me? I’m a fighter, remember?

Deacon: Damn straight I do. That’s one of the things I love the most about you. Come here.

Sheila: Now, that’s my daddy.

Finn: Sorry, I didn’t give you a heads up. I just thought that should be something you hear directly from your dad. It didn’t feel right for me to drop that bomb on you.

Hope: No, I get it. I don’t blame you for anything. I mean, obviously, my dad knew how I was going to react, ’cause he kept it quiet. So, I don’t know if I should be furious with him or terrified for him.

Finn: I think we’re just both still in shock. I mean, our parents claim to be in love. I mean, I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to wrap my head around that.

Hope: Well, this entire situation is just dangerous, and my dad somehow thinks that his love has– has changed sheila magically somehow. I mean, I–

Finn: Well, no one could change sheila. I got the scars to prove it.

Hope: I– I’m– I’m going to tell my mom. Yeah. I’m– I’m going to tell her about this because she– she’ll know what to do.

Brooke: Rj is going into this cutthroat fashion industry and I think he’s going to be facing a lot more challenging situations than working with his granddad. So, we can’t baby him or else he will be eaten alive.

Ridge: I know that. You’re right. Every designer has to find his own path, his own ideas and I think– I think rj is on his way. He’s designing now. It’s one of the proudest moments of my life.

Brooke: I know you wanna work side by side with him and I’m sure you will one day, but right now, what he needs is probably to work with his granddad instead of his father.

Ridge: Yeah. I see a lot of myself in him when I was his age. I just– I want him to know that he’s loved, that he’s supported and that we will do anything to help him succeed, right?

Brooke: Of course. Of course.

Rj: Whatever it is, luna, you can– you can tell me. All right? Please let me help.

Luna: Okay. Okay, you’re right. I have been keeping something from you.

Rj: What is it? Here, come on. Let’s sit down.

Luna: Um, these past few weeks have been, like, the best of my life.

Rj: Well, then why do you wanna leave?

Luna: My mom didn’t know that I was interviewing for a job here, so when I had decided to come to L.A. And follow my dreams, I– I knew that I had to do it on my own.

Rj: Why?

Luna: Because she’d be worried about me. She didn’t want me to put myself in A… bad situation.

Rj: Luna, how could working here put you in a bad situation? I don’t– I don’t get it.

Luna: There’s someone in my family who wouldn’t want me to be here, who wouldn’t approve. My aunt.

Rj: Your aunt? Does she work at forrester?

Luna: No, but–

Rj: No?

Luna: Um… your sister’s mother-in-law? That’s my aunt li and she’s the reason why I wrote the letter of resignation. I don’t know, she just– she doesn’t want me here. If your moderate to severe crohn’s disease

Deacon: Okay, then, so… we’re in agreement. We’ll keep the news about our engagement quiet for the time being.

Sheila: [ Sighs ] Oh, as much as I wanna scream it from the rooftops, I just, I think it will freak finn and– and hope out.

Deacon: Yeah, and the rest of L.A.

Sheila: Okay, so we will just keep our wonderful news for another day.

Finn: Hey, just be prepared ’cause, I mean, once you tell your mom about sheila and deacon, all hell’s gonna break loose.

Hope: No, I know. But thank you for telling me, finn, and giving me the heads up. I mean, you’re the only person in the world who knows what this feels like.

Finn: Look, sheila’s all love and sunshine now, but we know how she can turn if she feels threatened.

Hope: And that’s what I’m worried about. I want to keep my dad out of harm’s way, but my mom does have a way of getting through to him. Maybe she can talk some sense into deacon and put a stop to this– this insanity between our parents before it goes too far.

Luna: My aunt li was just here and she was so furious. She made me write that letter.

Rj: I can’t even believe this.

Luna: I know, I’m sorry. You shouldn’t be dragged into this.

Rj: No, I just– I- I just don’t understand. It doesn’t make any sense.

Luna: I should’ve been honest with you from day one, but, I don’t know, I guess I was just so happy about getting this job and… I should’ve told you about my connection to finn and your sister.

Rj: No, it’s just I don’t understand why li doesn’t want you to work here. I mean, I feel like she’d be really happy for you.

Luna: Well, li is extremely protective of finn. She sees forrester as a– as a place for him, for your family. Not for me and my mom.

Rj: Why?

[ Luna sighing ]

Luna: My aunt li and my mom, they have a very difficult relationship. I mean, she’s always been so hard on my mom and even though they’re sisters, they’re… I don’t know. They’re very different people. Do you remember that phone call that made me really upset?

Rj: Yeah.

Luna: That was my mom.

Rj: Well, what’d she say?

Luna: Uh, my mom told me that I should leave forrester immediately. That she was afraid of something like this happening, that aunt li would find out that I was working here and everything would come crashing down.

Rj: I’m just– I’m so sorry that you’ve been dealing with this alone.

Luna: I feel terrible for keeping this from you. Listen, I really don’t wanna cause any trouble. I think it’s best if I just leave. This isn’t charmin!

[ Sheila chuckling ]

Deacon: What?

Sheila: Aside from rubbing your thigh, I am enjoying this incredibly peaceful moment because it’s only a matter of time before brooke comes knocking on that door.

Brooke: Sounds like the invites were creating quite a buzz from what katie said. A special engagement featuring forrester couture’s latest collection, available for same-day purchase. Who wouldn’t be excited about that?

Ridge: Little do they know, they are just there to settle a score between father and son. Winner takes all.

Brooke: Well, I’m not gonna lie, I am excited.

Ridge: You’re excited?

Brooke: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Even though you know I’m going to win?

[ Brooke giggling ]

Brooke: Oh, honey.

Ridge: Hey.

Brooke: Hi. Are you okay?

Hope: No. I saw finn earlier.

Ridge: What’s going on? This have something to do with steffy and the kids?

Hope: No. I, um… sorry, I think I’m still processing. I’m in shock.

Ridge: Well, take a breath. What are you talking about? What’s going on?

Hope: Okay, so– so finn actually came to visit me here earlier and he said that there was something weighing on him and he needed to tell me something and– and then all I could get out of him was that I needed to go see dad.

Brooke: Deacon? Is– is everything all right?

Hope: Well, I went to go to his apartment to find out for myself and it turns out, um… [ Clears throat ] Dad is seeing someone. He’s in love.

Ridge: In love?

Brooke: Wha– what? I– I didn’t even know he was dating.

Hope: Yeah. Well, it was news to me, too.

Brooke: Well, have you seen her?

Hope: Yeah, she was actually at the apartment and, um… I can’t believe I’m about to say this and these words are about to come out of my mouth, but the woman that dad is involved with… is sheila carter.

Luna: I’m really sorry I didn’t tell you I was related to li. I hope you haven’t lost faith in me.

Rj: Why would I lose faith in you?

Luna: Because I kept something from you? From the day I was being interviewed. I– I wasn’t trying to be dishonest. I’m gonna go. My– my mom was right. I– I should not have come to L.A.

Rj: No. Luna, your mom was not right, okay? And I wouldn’t think any less of you because you didn’t tell me that li is your aunt.

Luna: You wouldn’t?

Rj: No! Of course not. What I feel– I just feel bad that you’ve been going through all of this on your own. I– I don’t understand. Why is li so disapproving of you working here? I feel like she should be proud of you. You– you got this job completely on your own. You didn’t even use your connections to get here. That’s– that’s just impressive.

Luna: No. You don’t understand. You didn’t hear aunt li earlier. She will not be happy if I stay here.

[ Rj scoffing ]

Rj: Aunt li does not get a say, okay? ‘Cause this is your life. This isn’t aunt li’s life. These are your opportunities. You’ve– you earned your place here! You are a beautiful, intelligent woman. You can make those choices for yourself. Listen, there is something that is so special about you, okay? I know we’re just getting to know each other, but I really don’t want this to end, all right? And I don’t care what li says. You’re not leaving forrester. You hear me?

[ Kyle groaning ] Oh, damn it.

Audra: Morning, sleepy head.

Kyle: Morning. Why’d you let me sleep so late?

Audra: You looked so peaceful. I didn’t wanna disturb you.

Kyle: I was out like a rock. I haven’t slept that well in a while.

Audra: Oh. Well, maybe you should stay over more often.

Kyle: Oh. Um, I’ve never done that before, have I?

Audra: First time for everything.

Kyle: Glad to see you first thing in the morning.

Audra: Yeah. It’s a– it’s a nice change of pace.

Kyle: Yeah. Happy we reconnected?

Audra: Definitely.

Kyle: But, it’s not great I wasn’t home when my son woke up. He’s had enough disruption. He needs to know I’ll always be there.

Audra: You live with your entire family. You know, it’s a house full of people. I’m sure he’s fine.

Kyle: I hope so.

Audra: Hey, now you have your own life too, okay? It happens. It’s not the end of the world.

Lily: Hey, you okay? You seem a little off this morning.

Daniel: Yeah. Just a little on edge.

Lily: Let me guess. Your mom?

Daniel: Mm-hmm. Today’s a big day. She officially starts work at omegasphere.

Lily: Well, are you worried? ‘Cause I mean, you’re the one who hired her.

Daniel: I know. I know.

[ Daniel laughing ] Trust me, I want things to work out for her, but with my mother, you just never know how things are gonna play out.

Lily: Well, remember, your intentions were good, right? You’re giving her a fresh start. Something to focus on.

Daniel: Best laid plans.

Lily: Yeah. True. I was just being optimistic for your sake.

Daniel: Well, I’ll give you points for optimism, but I’m pretty sure that skepticism is warranted here.

Lily: Do you still feel like you can’t trust her?

Daniel: I don’t know. I know that she wants to be this honest and sincere person that summer and I can rely on, but… you know, at the end of the day, she’s still phyllis summers, so anything can happen.

Diane: Is it too soon to start planning our next wedding reception?

Jack: I don’t know. Do you think people will find it over the top for us to be married three times in as many months?

Diane: Do we care?

Jack: It’s a good point.

Diane: [ Laughing ] No, we should probably be patient. Maybe we can have a big party for our one year anniversary. How does that sound?

Jack: I’m not sure I can wait that long. We may have to just celebrate our love on our own every hour of every day.

Diane: Mm. You’re such a romantic. What’s up?

Jack: I– I thought I’d hear from phyllis by now.

Diane: After you asked her to help us figure out what tucker’s up to.

Jack: Well, right now she appears to be our best bet.

Diane: Yeah. Well, I thought we were gonna stop worrying about tucker until we have definitive proof that he’s up to something. That his peace offering is a smokescreen.

Jack: Well, that’s how we keep from worrying. We remain vigilant and proactive and we collect as much information as we can just in case.

Diane: Sounds an awful lot like worrying.

Jack: Tucker is a risk taker. That means he’s gonna do everything he has to to get what he wants.

Diane: I know. Agreed. But we don’t even know what, if anything, he does want. Is he coming after jabot? Does he– does he want revenge on the family or neither of the above?

Jack: Well, I would like to be sure of that. And I’m hoping phyllis decides to do the right thing and help us out.

Diane: That’s a lot to expect from the woman who sent me to jail.

Jack: She claims she wants to make amends.

Diane: [ Laughing ] That’s lovely. That’s a lovely sentiment. Clearly, I believe in second chances, but we’re talking about phyllis. And you and I both know that the only side she’s ever really on is her own.

Tucker: Oh, phyllis, phyllis, phyllis. Will you ever learn?

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. Wow. Wow.

Danny: Phyllis?

Phyllis: Hey, danny.

Danny: Everything okay? You didn’t live this strong,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Devon: Here it is. Boy loves to just run around this park, doesn’t he?

Abby: He sure does. And mommy loves when he falls asleep because he’s so worn out.

Devon: Aw! That’s why mommy doesn’t wanna play another game of hot potato.

Abby: No, no, no, no. Mommy wants some time with daddy. Like a date night.

Devon: Ooh.

Abby: Yeah. I loved going to the wedding with you. Getting all dressed up and spending time together.

Devon: I love getting dressed up with you too. You looked beautiful that night.

Abby: Thank you.

Devon: Beautiful right now.

Abby: Mm.

Devon: We got lucky nothing crazy happened that day.

Abby: Yeah. You know, as much as I want my mom to be here and be in town, I think it’s best that she wasn’t here for the wedding. Yeah. I know that she smoothed things over with my uncle jack, but I think seeing diane that happy, her head might’ve exploded.

Devon: How is she doing?

Abby: She’s good. She’s good. You know, she’s in paris. She’s working remotely for jabot. Yeah, but she even admitted that it’s best that she wasn’t there for the party.

Devon: That’s good that she knows her limits.

Abby: Yeah. But I do think that she’s softened a bit towards diane since diane saved her life.

Devon: Do you think that’s gonna last?

Abby: I don’t know. I’m not sure. She’s been through so much lately. I think she’s just trying to regain her footing and I know that she’s really nervous about coming home.

Devon: ‘Cause of tucker.

Abby: Yeah. She doesn’t wanna stir him up again.

Devon: Yeah. Yeah. I don’t really know how he would react if they came face to face. ‘Cause he claims that he’s over her, but I don’t know.

Abby: I think they both hurt each other a lot and now, those wounds are not even close to healing.

Devon: They just seemed so happy together, you know?

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: And tucker was such a better version of himself when he was with her. I hate to think that that part of him is just gone.

Abby: Yeah. I did tell my mom about tucker’s gift to my uncle jack and diane.

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: That bonsai tree. How it was supposed to be a gesture of peace and harmony.

Devon: It was very tucker.

Abby: Yeah. And then I told her how he told uncle jack that he overreacted when he came back from paris, and that any sort of revenge he was plotting was just done and over.

Devon: Well, did your mom buy that though?

Abby: She wasn’t sure. She admitted that when it comes to tucker, she doesn’t know what to think anymore.

Phyllis: Hey, danny. Good to see you.

Danny: Yeah, you too. So, uh, what are you up to?

Phyllis: I was just doing a little research. A little research. Um, my first day working at omegasphere for daniel.

[ Phyllis chuckling ]

Danny: That is great. I’m so glad you’re seeing this through.

Phyllis: Well, you know, he gave me a great opportunity. I’m thrilled to take it.

Danny: Well, he has faith in you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered you the position.

Phyllis: Yeah, that’s right. I just wanna prove myself, you know, to my kids, to daniel and summer.

Danny: And I believe you will.

Phyllis: I wanted to extend some gratitude to you as well.

Danny: Uh, me? I’m sorry. What did I do?

Phyllis: Well, that conversation we had yesterday.

Danny: Oh.

Phyllis: Yeah. You really helped me. You really helped me change my perspective on things.

Danny: Wow. I didn’t realize I had that effect on you.

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] You do. Thank you for believing in me after everything I’ve done. All of our history.

Danny: I think that we’ve gotten past our history.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Phyllis: Really? I mean, ’cause people say that, but you know, then there is history sometimes it’s hard to get past.

Danny: We’re good, phyllis. I hear you when you say you wanna change. I do.

Phyllis: Thank you. ‘Cause I do wanna change. I really do.

Danny: And seeing you take the initiative to wanna be a better person makes me believe that you’re sincere and I imagine daniel feels the same way.

Phyllis: Yeah. I just wanna do right by my kids.

Danny: Not saying that it won’t be challenging. You know, the straight and narrow path, it’s a delicate one. But you can do anything you want when you’re determined. You’re that kinda person.

Jack: Oh, I got a response.

Diane: What did she say?

Jack: Phyllis has something on tucker.

Diane: Already? What is it?

Jack: No details.

Diane: So, it could be nothing.

Jack: Or it could be something. She’s just being careful. Wouldn’t it be something if phyllis is the one who came through for us?

Diane: Well, good for her if she has.

Jack: Well, I gotta meet her at crimson lights. Hopefully, she will have some inkling as to what tucker is really up to.

Diane: Or maybe she just wants you to believe that she’s willing to help you.

Jack: Hey, are you uncomfortable with my doing this with phyllis? I haven’t asked.

Diane: Of course, I am. Why would I trust her intentions? Jack, I just– I just don’t want her to hurt us.

Jack: She can’T.

Diane: Phyllis is tenacious. I’m sure she wants your forgiveness. Likes your attention. She likes to pull people over to her side, no matter what the cost.

Jack: Listen– listen to me. It’s one meeting. I’m keeping my eyes wide open. I am going in with a glass is half-full approach. Look, if she’s sincere about wanting to make amends, this is a good step in that direction.

Diane: Then, I’ll just cross my fingers.

Jack: I’ll see you at the office.

Diane: Okay. Some luxury creams just sit on top of skin.

Abby: Well, I also told my mom about your suspicion that tucker’s behind mamie’s return to town and her investment in chancellor-winters.

Devon: Oh, yeah. That seems like a pretty convenient coincidence if you ask me. But then tucker claims that there’s nothing to it.

Abby: Well, my mom was not surprised. She said that anything is possible when it comes to tucker. And well, especially now that he doesn’t have her to keep him in line.

Devon: Sure doesn’T.

Abby: Do you think that he’s telling the truth? I mean, should we give him the benefit of the doubt?

Devon: I don’t know. I– I honestly don’t know what to believe anymore ’cause he can deny it all he wants, but I know that I felt the vibe between him and mamie at the abbott house. He was standing right there. It was like they had been in contact before.

Abby: Okay, but would mamie really get involved with someone like tucker? It seems unlikely. And mamie loves my mom and uncle jack and traci like they’re her own. And would she really want to be involved with someone who would hurt one of them?

Devon: I wouldn’t think that she’d do something like that. No, but at the same time, she’s been extremely secretive about this whole investment.

Abby: I don’t know. Maybe she’s telling the truth. I mean, maybe she really just wants to be a part of the family company and she wants to get closer to you and lily.

Devon: I hope so. I do. But I also agree with your mom. Anything is possible when it comes to tucker.

Abby: Well, how do you wanna proceed with your father?

Devon: That’s a great question. I would like to think the best of him and to give him a chance, but it is getting harder and harder to do that.

Lily: Well, listen, I really hope that things work out with phyllis at omegasphere and that she behaves herself.

Daniel: Hm. Works hard? Yes. Behaves?

Lily: [ Laughing ] Well, she knows how amazing you are. Maybe she’ll go easy on you.

Daniel: Oh, yes. My greatness, no matter how well known across the land, has unfortunately never stopped her before. I– I just, you know, I keep telling myself that I gotta be optimistic.

Lily: Cautiously optimistic.

Daniel: Correct. What about you? Did you ever find out what’s going on with mamie? Did you figure out why she made that investment in– in chancellor-winters?

Lily: Uh, no. Not yet. But I really hope it’s as simple as she’s saying and that she just wants to spend time with family.

Daniel: Well, you and devon don’t need any more business chaos.

Lily: No. And jill will have a lot of opinions on the subject, so I’m just trying not to fixate on it.

Daniel: It’s good to, um, to be hopeful though. You know, it doesn’t hurt.

Lily: Yep. Good reminder for both of us. Anyway, I have to go. But, um, what are you doing for lunch later?

Daniel: Spending it with you, if I’m lucky.

Lily: Okay. Sounds good. I’ll see you later then.

Daniel: Yeah. Well, I look forward to it.

[ Lily laughing ]

Lily: Okay, you know, if I’m late, it’s your fault.

Daniel: What? Totally worth it.

Lily: I have to go. Okay. I have to go. Bye-bye.

Daniel: Bye.

[ Phone chiming ]

Danny: Hey, listen. Um, I just heard from daniel this morning that heather’s back in town.

Phyllis: Oh, interesting. She’s back in town.

Danny: Yeah.

Phyllis: She left suddenly to portugal. I’m so excited to see lucy. She is so special.

Danny: Well, actually heather’s here alone. Lucy stayed in lisbon with paul and christine. Yeah.

Phyllis: Wow. If that bug says one negative thing about me to my granddaughter–

Danny: Uh, you can use her name, you know. And christine’s not gonna say anything to lucy. Come on. You know her better than that.

Phyllis: Do I?

Danny: You don’t have to like her, but you two are good people, okay? When it comes right down to it.

Phyllis: Oh, wait a second.

[ Chuckling ] Wait a second. Wait, does christine still hold a special place in your heart, even now?

Danny: Of course, she does. As do you. We are all part of the past together. The good and the bad.

Phyllis: Wait a second. I– I thought you said you were with somebody new. That’s what you said around the holidays, that you were with someone new.

Danny: Yeah, I– I did, but that, um, yeah, that didn’t work out.

Phyllis: Are– are you– are you holding out hope that you could be with christine if she doesn’t work things out with paul? What?

Danny: I see you haven’t lost your inherent ability to find drama everywhere.

Phyllis: I– I’m not being dramatic. I’m just asking a question. It’s no big deal.

Danny: Sure.

Phyllis: Are you interested in the bug?

Danny: I want her to be happy. As I want you to be happy.

Phyllis: Oh, my god. Uh, that’s vague. I can’t– wow. I can’t believe this is happening.

Danny: Look–

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] No.

Danny: Hey, hey. Listen, whatever happens, I want us to move forward, okay? Let’s see what happens in the– the next chapter of each one of our lives together. Free from the past.

Phyllis: Right. I’m on board.

[ Daniel sighing ] 1 down, 9 to go.

Kyle: Hey, mom.

Diane: Kyle!

Kyle: Have you seen harrison this morning?

Diane: Uh, yes. I helped him get dressed. He had breakfast and then linda took him to school. He was, um, he was asking about you. He wondered where his daddy was.

Kyle: Damn it. I set my alarm and I slept right through it. I raced home as fast as I could when I woke up.

Diane: Where’d you spend the night?

Kyle: Um, I went out with a friend after the reception. I crashed at their place.

Diane: Oh, I see.

Kyle: Anyway, thank you for looking after harrison. I’m gonna head upstairs and shower.

Diane: Uh, kyle. Look, I know you’ve been having a hard time lately, but this– this isn’t like you. You don’t just neglect your son.

Kyle: Oh, it was just one mistake, mom. I’ll make it up to harrison, but please don’t make me feel worse than I already do.

Diane: All right. Well, let’s not talk about just this morning. I’m– I’m talking about the big picture.

Kyle: Please just stop. You’re blowing this outta proportion.

Diane: No, I’m not. Look, I– I– I get it that you’re struggling to figure things out. Your marriage ended, your career is in flux. Honey, no one would blame you for being off balance. Please, just– just talk to me. Let me help.

Lily: Oh, my god. He is so cute. He’s getting so big.

Devon: I know.

Lily: You have a little man. Like a little man.

Devon: That’s my man.

Lily: Aw. I love that he fell asleep with his little race car in his hand. That’s so cute.

Abby: The red one is his favorite. Like, he puts it under his pillow at night so they can sleep together.

Lily: Oh, my god. It’s like it’s cuteness overload. I don’t know how you guys do it.

Devon: Well, he is lucky to have his aunt lily to dote over him constantly.

Lily: Yeah. That’s my job. I take it very seriously.

[ Lily laughing ] Oh, by the way, I talked to jill.

Devon: Oh, yeah? Didn’t she head out this morning?

Lily: Yeah. She’s going to detroit to look into lbb and aunt mamie.

Devon: Oh, boy.

Lily: Mm-hmm. She’s convinced that there’s more to mamie’s investment than what she’s claiming.

Devon: We were just talking about that.

Lily: Yeah. But, um, what do you think? Do you think mamie might have a connection to tucker?

Phyllis: Well, danny, thank you for your support.

Danny: Always.

Phyllis: I’m gonna go. I don’t wanna be late. It’s my first day at omegasphere, so.

Danny: Hey, phyllis, best of luck today. I’m gonna be rooting for you.

Phyllis: Thank you. It means a lot. Talk to you later.

Danny: Knock ’em dead.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Phyllis: [ Sighing ] Can I, uh, have a refill and take it to go?

Tucker: You’ve been a busy woman.

Phyllis: What does that mean?

Tucker: I think you know. Putting your skills to work on a new venture, perhaps helping jack turn the tables on me.

Phyllis: Hm. Why would you say that?

Tucker: You should know by now, phyllis. I have eyes and ears all over this town. At humana, we believe your healthcare should evolve with you, and part of that evolution means choosing the right medicare plan for you. Humana can help. Hi, my name is sam davis and I’m going to tell you about medicare advantage prescription drug plans that can provide more coverage than original medicare, including prescription drug coverage, all wrapped up into one convenient plan. With original medicare you’re covered for hospital stays and doctor office visits, but you have to meet a deductible for each. And then you’re still responsible for 20% of the cost. Next, let’s look at medicare supplement plans. If a service is covered under original medicare, then a medicare supplement plan pays for some or all of your medicare deductibles and the 20% coinsurance. But they may have higher monthly premiums and no prescription drug coverage. Humana medicare advantage prescription drug plans include medical coverage, plus prescription drug coverage. As well as dental coverage that includes two free cleanings a year, plus a yearly exam. Vision coverage includes vision exams and a yearly allowance toward eyewear such as lenses or contacts. And hearing benefits include routine hearing exams and coverage toward hearing aids. You’re covered for preventive services like annual mammograms and prostate exams. There’s a zero-dollar copay for routine vaccines and telehealth visits. And you get worldwide coverage for emergencies when you travel. You get all of this in one convenient plan. Plus, there’s a cap on your out-of-pocket costs! So, call or go online today to see if there’s a humana plan in your area, to find out if your doctor is in one of our networks, and to get our free decision guide. There’s no obligation, just good information. Humana – a more human way to healthcare.

When the murrays discovered

gain scent beads,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. E, mom, you don’t have

Kyle: I have told you before, mom, you don’t have to worry about me. I am fine.

Diane: Kyle, you’re my son and I love you and you just haven’t seemed like yourself lately, so yes, I am worried about you.

Kyle: You shouldn’t be ’cause I’m okay. Moving on.

Diane: I saw a glimpse of the kyle I know at the reception yesterday when you so beautifully officiated for your father and me as we renewed our vows.

Kyle: I was glad I could be there this time to see you both looking so happy.

Diane: You were the old kyle. You were confident, you were centered and you and summer seem to be getting along. And it looks like the two of you have found a balance.

Kyle: Yeah, we have. Things between us have leveled off.

Diane: Mm-hmm. And then audra showed up and I could literally see the change in your demeanor. It’s like you became a different person.

Kyle: Yes, mom. I know how you feel about audra.

Diane: Look, I can’t tell you what to do, but I can only hope that the friend you referred to, the one whose place you stayed at last night wasn’t her.

Kyle: You don’t need to be concerned about that. And I’m not struggling to find a new path. I am very clear about that now. I know what I want.

Diane: What is that?

Kyle: I want my old job back as co-ceo of jabot. I’m going to replace billy and I’m convinced that will happen.

Devon: I actually witnessed a moment between tucker and aunt mamie at jack and diane’s wedding reception.

Lily: What do you mean “a moment?”

Devon: She walked in the room and they looked at each other like they had been in communication or in contact before. I don’t know how else to describe it.

Lily: Well, did you ask them about it?

Devon: I didn’t bring it up to mamie, but I asked tucker about it and he said that there’s nothing to it.

Lily: But you don’t believe that’s true?

Devon: Not really. Not when he’s tied to so much drama these days. He’s got what happened with your mom in paris. Jack and billy think that he’s going after jabot. And now he might be tied to this chancellor-winters investor.

Abby: And I tend to believe my family’s assessment of tucker. That he’s bad news. I know it’s just a hypothetical and we don’t have all the facts.

Devon: And since he’s come to town, he’s claimed to wanna do right by me as a father and be a grandfather to dominic.

Abby: And he has been, for the most part.

Lily: Yeah. But there’s always the possibility that he’s doing something underhanded.

Devon: Yeah. And that’s the problem. He’s like a damn magnet to trouble. And it’s just been one thing after another since he’s come back to town.

Abby: He just doesn’t know when to stop.

Devon: Well, maybe I need to know when to stop and sever ties with him. Just make a clean break all together.

Phyllis: Hi, jack. Have a great day, jack.

Tucker: Hey, jack. Did you and diane get a chance to open my present?

Jack: We did.

Tucker: I hope you liked it.

Jack: A bonsai tree would be a thoughtful gesture if it were sincere.

Tucker: Do you know the significance of a bonsai tree?

Jack: As a matter of fact, I do. Just having a hard time with trusting that you’re wishing us harmony and balance and…

Tucker: Patience.

Jack: Patience.

Tucker: Well, at least you read the card. A lot of people chuck the card and just go straight for the goods.

Jack: As I said to my brother, billy, I think this gesture was all smoke and mirrors. Did you really think diane and I were that gullible?

Tucker: So much for second chances.

Jack: Oh, I think you’ve had enough second and third chances for a lifetime. We don’t for one minute buy your truce.

Tucker: I– I guess I just don’t understand why. At this point, you have no reason to doubt me.

Jack: Let’s just stop being coy. We know what you put phyllis up to.

Tucker: Phyllis? Why would I involve myself with phyllis?

Jack: For her technical savvy. You had her hack into one of jabot’s accounts, transfer the funds to billy’s account, his personal account, so it looked like he was the one responsible for the breach.

Tucker: Sounds fascinating and elaborate.

Jack: I just want you to know it didn’t work. We are onto you. That money has now been returned to jabot.

Tucker: That’s good news, but it had nothing to do with me or any plan I had.

Jack: The next time you think of doing something against jabot, I suggest you think twice.

Tucker: You’re not gonna order any coffee?

Jack: Seeing you soured me on the idea.

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry?

Phyllis: Hey. So, were you followed?

Jack: No. I thought tucker would do just that, so I took him on a wild goose chase. I lost him.

Phyllis: Great. Great.

Jack: What is this about?

Phyllis: Um… I hacked into tucker’s computer like you wanted me to.

Jack: And?

Phyllis: And I found out that he recently purchased a listening device with an accompanying phone app. So, um, it’s very interesting, uh, when I saw him at the coffee house, he said he had eyes and ears all over genoa city.

Jack: It’s all starting to make sense. Thank you. I appreciate the help.

Phyllis: Oh, that was a honest thank you. Did that hurt?

Jack: Not as much as I thought.

Phyllis: So, we’re square?

Jack: No, we’re on our way.

Phyllis: Well, what’s left?

Jack: Well, it might help if you admit that you did in fact help tucker hack into jabot.

Phyllis: I did not do that.

Jack: You can just say it, phyllis.

Phyllis: I had nothing to do with that.

Jack: It’s me. I still know when you are lying. You know that, right?

Phyllis: You asked me to do you a favor. You said that it would help me redeem myself.

Jack: Yeah.

Phyllis: But– but I did what you asked. Are you going back on your word?

Jack: No. This is just one step. You and I are not on solid ground.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, I think we’ll get there. You know better than to underestimate me.

Jack: Thank you again.

Phyllis: Hey, what are you doing here?

Danny: So, uh, what are you up to, phyllis?

Lily: Devon, are you serious?

Abby: You really wanna give up on your father?

Devon: No, I don’T. But, what am I supposed to do at this point? I can’t keep ignoring what’s right in front of me.

Abby: That’s a big step and not an easy one.

Lily: Well, I know that you were hoping tucker wouldn’t let you down.

Devon: Honestly, I don’t think I ever really had high expectations for our relationship, given our history.

Lily: Well, now he’s part of your life again and dominic’S.

Devon: Oh, tell me about it. He’s a damn regular at dominic’s music classes.

Abby: He’s even made friends with all the other parents in the class. He’s taken so many videos of dominic playing the drums.

Devon: And it seems like he’s really loves embracing that role and like he’s trying to turn his life around.

Lily: So, what do you think changed?

Devon: I really believe that whatever happened with your mom in paris did something to him or undid all the progress he’s been making. I think that he really loved ashley and when that fell apart–

Abby: So did he.

Devon: As much as I don’t wanna think that he’s going backwards in life, the signs are everywhere. And maybe it’s on me now to change the way I respond to him.

Abby: We’ll support you no matter what you decide.

Lily: Yeah, absolutely. We have your back.

Devon: Well, thank you. I appreciate you saying that. But I just– I can’t shake the feeling that he is up to something. And I’m not gonna let our family or our company be affected by whatever it is. I will not let that happen.

Diane: Do you mean that? You wanna come back to jabot?

Kyle: I do. I think it’s the right move. I just have to figure out how to make it happen. Dad, hey.

Diane: How was the meeting?

Kyle: What’s going on?

Diane: Jack?

Kyle: Uh, care to explain? Before my doctor and I chose breztri for my copd, getting this? Water doesn’t have to be boring. With over 40 delicious flavors, cirkul starts a party for your tastebuds.

Danny: I thought you were headed to the office.

Phyllis: Oh, I was. I decided to make a stop.

Danny: I keep seeing you and jack together and lots of tension. Um, why is that?

Phyllis: Yeah, there’s tension. Well, he can’t seem to forgive me for what I did. And, um, it’s just uncomfortable.

Danny: And that’s all that it is?

Phyllis: Yep, that’s all. What else would it be?

Danny: I– I don’t know.

Phyllis: Okay. Why are you asking? Why do you care? It seems like you followed me here.

Danny: I saw your exchange with jack and tucker at crimson lights and it seemed a little, I don’t know, weird. A little suspicious maybe?

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] Yeah. Tucker’s weird. He can’t even order a cup of coffee in a normal way. I mean, it’s like he’s part of some battle plan.

Danny: I know there’s a lot of animosity between tucker and jack and I just hope that, you know, somehow you’re not caught in the middle of it.

Phyllis: Thank you. I’m not caught in the middle. You sound paranoid.

Daniel: Paranoid about what?

Danny: Hey.

Audra: Hm. Well, good morning to you.

Tucker: Speak for yourself.

Audra: What’s wrong?

Tucker: It’s jack. Trying to get phyllis to play double agent.

Audra: Against you?

Tucker: No. I can’t figure out if she’s onto anything yet.

Audra: Well, you know, phyllis is unpredictable. Hard to read.

Tucker: Mm. I just don’t– I don’t see jack teaming up with her though. Why would he even trust her at this point?

Audra: Well, they have a very public, extremely volatile history that can really blur the line between allies and enemies.

Tucker: Yeah, that’s putting it mildly.

Audra: You know, phyllis is desperate for forgiveness, so maybe she’s willing to work overtime in order to get it.

Tucker: Yeah. Jack already figured out that she helped me break into jabot’s financials though, so I don’t know why he would give her the benefit of the doubt.

Audra: Well, that’s his problem.

Tucker: Could be mine too. I gotta stay ahead of this.

Audra: And you will, okay? Because you won’t let us down. You told me to have faith in you, remember?

Tucker: Mm-hmm. What about you? How are things on your end? Were you able to reignite the flame with kyle?

Audra: Yeah, it was pretty easy and most enjoyable.

Tucker: You’re glowing. You have nice little chipper attitude.

Audra: I haven’t even told you the best part. Kyle is after billy’s job.

Tucker: You don’t say? Hm. I seem to recall that kyle had the co-ceo position before. Makes sense to me that he’d want it back.

Audra: You don’t seem surprised.

Tucker: I’m not.

Audra: So, that’s what this was about. You want billy out of the picture at jabot and kyle is the way to do it.

Diane: So, what’s going on?

Jack: I had my meeting with phyllis. She hacked into tucker’s computer and discovered he recently purchased a listening device and the app to go with it.

Diane: The bonsai tree.

Jack: Tucker’s little gift of harmony had his hidden surprise.

Kyle: Ah, that son of a bitch!

Diane: Peace, love, and forgiveness my ass. And I– I was hoping we wouldn’t have to worry, I’m sorry.

Jack: No, you have nothing to apologize for. You have a generous spirit. I’m a little more jaded.

Diane: And phyllis discovered this and just gave you the information no strings attached?

Jack: Yes, phyllis gave it to me, but phyllis was phyllis. I tried to get her to admit she helped tucker to frame billy and she wouldn’t have any of that.

Diane: Of course not.

Kyle: This is a bold move on tucker’s part.

Jack: That is tucker to his core.

Kyle: So, why not just destroy it?

Jack: I thought about that. I changed my mind.

Diane: Why?

Jack: This could be useful. If tucker isn’t on to us, we can use this to our advantage.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

best advice I can give you is to give the nurse on duty a heads up when you refer a patient to another doctor, especially if you want to stay on their good side.

[ Chuckles ] Got it. I definitely want to stay on the good side of all the nurses. And I want to thank you for all the help and support you’ve given me the last week. You’re so welcome. You’re gonna be a great addition to the staff here. I have to say, I’m a little overwhelmed. There’s always so much going on. Always will be. How are you? How’s your day? Uh, busier than ever. Yours? Actually, I just… I just got here, but I got to run out again. I got to go check on chase. How’s he doing? Yeah, he’s not answering any of my calls or my texts, so I’m just going to bite the bullet and go on over to his place. I’ll let you know after I see him. Good luck. Thanks. Would you like to have dinner with me tonight? Yeah. I would love that. Yeah? Why don’t you and violet come over, and we’ll throw something together? Yeah, I like that. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. And that — that way, we can spend some time with aiden. I know he would love to see violet. He’s been home alone a lot lately since jake has been spending so much time with charlotte. Yeah. No, violet would love to see aiden, too. Yeah, it’ll be fun. Yeah. Yeah, it’ll be fun.

[ Chuckling ] Okay. Probably not as much fun as what happened last night in the locker room. I’ll see you tonight. I’ll see you tonight. Oh, hey. Hi. Any luck? With? Finding a co-chief of staff? Oh, not yet. I’m too busy trying to find out who was in the staff locker room having sex in the showers. I can’t tell you how happy I am to be home. I was relieved the moment we landed.

[ Chuckles ] Yes, I know. Yeah, it’ll be nice to decompress for a little while after being on the road for so long looking for nikolas. You know something? Hmm? I think I have a bottle of red wine in the kitchen. We can open it up. Oh, i do like red wine.

[ Laughs ] Alright. I’ll take your suitcases inside for you. No, it’s okay. I-I can take it from here. Thank you, spencer. I had an amazing weekend. Yeah, me too. But now you need to go home because I know you’re missing ace. I am. But as much as I want to see my baby brother, I’m just as sad to see our weekend in new york end. It was perfect, by the way. Every second.

Every second? Every…single… second. It was perfect. Dad. I — I love you, son, so much.

[ Sniffles, sighs ]

[ Door slams ] Where is she? Monica is in her office. She’s on video call. I’m not looking for monica. Where is my granny? Tracy, where are you?! Where are you hiding?! I’m not hiding. I’m right here. Why are you shrieking?

[ Guitar strumming, cheers and applause ]

[ Cheers and applause continue ] I’m so sorry.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’m sorry. I didn’t — I didn’t mean to wake you up.

[ Exhales sharply ] You were in my dream.


Ace, sweetheart, where is your mommy? Oh. Laura, kevin, thank god you’re both home!

[ Muttering ] Esme, is everything okay? Ace is teething, and I’ve been with him 24/7. I think I’ve only slept like six hours in the last couple of days. And I had to call alexis this morning to tell her that I wasn’t gonna be able to make it to work, but that I felt bad that I wasn’t going to work.

[ Inhales sharply ] But I’m exhausted. I know, hon. Okay. We’re home now. We can help. I didn’t realize how lonely it would be watching him just… by myself. Where’s spencer? I’m sorry, I… no. No, it’s okay. I want you to go home. I mean, I —

[ Sighs ] I want you to go see ace. I’ll text you or call or… I’ll see you tomorrow, no matter what. You promise? Yeah. Yeah, I promise. Okay, bye. You better. Hey, you’re back. Come on in, have a seat, and tell me all about it. How was it? Oh… it was okay. Just okay? No. It was amazing!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Breathes deeply ] I was wrong, son, and I’m so sorry. I should have told you about my diagnosis. I meant to, but I — I just… kept putting it off. Why? Was it because you… thought I couldn’t handle it? No! No. Because I… didn’t think

i could handle it. All your life, son, you’ve been such a joy and a blessing. Your — your enthusiasm was contagious. Your openness, your optimism. Ever since you were a little boy, if — if I was having a bad day or struggling with something, I’d just… spend time with you, and it would change everything, change my perspective. So I-I’ve just been… selfish, just storing up moments with you where… things felt normal, where… I didn’t have als and I wasn’T…dying.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Voice breaking ] But it wasn’t fair to you, and I’m so sorry.

[ Voice breaking ] It’s okay, dad. If spending time with me, if — if that brought you joy… …that’s all that matters.

[ Exhales sharply ]

[ Sniffles ] Who told you someone was having sex in the showers? Amy driscoll. Consider the source, right? Ms. Gh gossip. She does like to make assumptions. Who knows? Maybe it’s not even true. Well, it is. Why do you say that? Because it was me. And just so you know, it was only kissing. With finn? Elizabeth! Well done. Whoa. That was tough. It truly was. Helping families who are losing a loved one figure out the next steps, that’s an important but necessary part of this job. You knew exactly what to say to them, with dignity and heart. The dignity and heart were real, but the rest was instinct and experience. You want to switch it up a bit? Yeah, I’d love to. What do you have in mind? Pediatrics. Oh, I love babies! The best part of this job. Let’s go. Okay.

[ Laughs ] I was in your dream? Yes. And I was naked. On stage. I was naked on stage. It’s crazy. I-I-I was at a gig in my dream, and you were in the crowd. And there was another woman with you. Well, who was it? I don’t know. But it’s really, really frustrating. What is? This dream! Because I’ve had it a couple times. Maybe you should talk to someone about it. I thought I was. How could you? How could I what? Do what you did. What is it you think I did? Think? I know you did. Are you talking in code, or did you hit your head like your father? You can’t bluff your way out of this one, granny. You know exactly what you did!

[ Clears throat ] I, uh, don’t think she does. Can you give us a minute, yuri? Please? This is something that granny and I need to settle privately.

Da. Okay. So would you like to tell me, in plain english, not yelling, what exactly is it you think I did? How could you tell chase that his father has als? That was an honest mistake. Those don’t exist with you. I was at the hospital. I ran into chase. His eyes were red. He was crying. I assumed it was about his father. And when I realized my mistake, I tried to backpedal, but… chase wouldn’t let it go. So you took it upon yourself and you told him? He pressured me! Would you have preferred I lied? Oh, so now you’re taking a stand for honesty?! You are unbelievable, granny. No. I’m just explaining to you what happened.

[ Knocking on door ] Do you want to get that, or do you want to stand there and stare at me?

[ Sighs ] What?! Whoa! Is that any way to greet your mother?

[ Exhales sharply ]


You are talking to someone. And I am more than happy to listen. But I was talking about… more like a — a professional. You know? A psychic?

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. No, I don’t believe in them. Yeah, it’s all just a scam. Oh, no, um, you’d be surprised. But — but — but I wasn’t talking about a psychic. I-I meant like a — like a doctor. Like kevin collins. You know, h-he’s really good with — with dreams and repressed memories. Maybe — maybe this is your subconscious trying to tell you something? No. Thank you. I remember kevin from when I first woke up at the hospital. He’s a nice enough guy, but, you know, he really wasn’t a help then, and I seriously doubt that he can help me now. Okay. Okay. Well, if you’re really serious about getting to the bottom of this… you’ll bite the bullet and you’ll talk to kevin. Ma! It’s so good to see you! Oh, it’s so good to see you, too. How’s my baby? I’m good. I’m surprised to see you.

[ Chuckling ] Ah, yeah, well…

[ Clears throat ] Let me see your hair. Oh! Oh, it’s beautiful. Oh, thank you. Let me see your nails. Oh! Oh, they never cease to impress me. Thank you. Look who’s back!

[ Breathes sharply ]

[ Clears throat ] Hello, tracy. Hello, lois. Hmm. It’s been a minute.

[ Chuckles ] Are those laugh lines or just lines? You’re looking great, too, tracy. Thank you. Mm-hmm. So, to what do we owe this hopefully brief visit? Yeah, ma, what’s going on? Is everything okay at home? Yes, everything is fine in bensonhurst. I — look, I read an article about you being dumped by deception, and I thought, “how dare they? Don’t they know what an asset my brookie is?” Ma, I deserved it. Okay. I don’t know what’s gotten into your head, but my daughter doesn’t deserve to be dumped. I was manipulated into sharing privileged information. Corporate espionage. What?! Manipulated by who? Who would do that to you? Uh-huh.

[ Scoffs ] A newborn’s health is influenced by the access they have to quality healthcare. I’m so sorry to interrupt.

[ Chuckles ] May I steal you for just one moment? Oh. Go ahead, stella. It’ll give me time to study my notes. Okay. Okay. Is everything alright, portia? Dr. Randolph offered me the co-chief of staff position.

[ Gasps ] Congratulations!

[ Laughs ] Did you accept? Not yet. Why not? Well, because. It’s gonna be a lot more work, more e-mails, more phone calls, emergencies. So turn it down. I did. But now I think I might want it. I mean, it’s a senior management position. It’s going to be a little bit more money. And with everything going on with curtis, it would be helpful. Well, take it! Yeah, but what about curtis? What about him? Our trip to new york was amazing. Spencer thought of everything. We saw “moulin rouge!” Whoa. Broadway. Yeah. And then we had dinner at a rooftop restaurant. It was overlooking the city. We could see the empire state building from our table. Wow. Well, it sounds like you had a good time. We did. And spencer organized a tour of the met, and then we did fun little touristy things. Like, we walked around the city, we got a few gourmet coffees, and then we went shopping. Ooh! Which reminds me. I got you something. Trina, you didn’t have to do that. I wanted to. These are for you. I hope you like them. I do. I love them. I got you both because I didn’t know which team you prefer, but i did know that you like basketball. Oh. Yeah. I still love the game, even though I can’t play.

[ Laughs ] I’m gonna go ahead and change ace’s sheets again. Since he started teething, he is drooling like crazy. Yeah, well, you go right ahead. I’m just enjoying my time with my grandson. He’s gotten so much bigger since the last time I saw him. I feel like I’ve done 10 loads of laundry since spencer went away with trina, so… there’s my boy. Look. It’s kevin. Well… so much for decompressing over a nice bottle of wine.

[ Laughs ] I’m still happy to be home. Me, too. I’m gonna take the rest of these upstairs, since…you seem to have your hands full.

[ Laughs ] Thank you. Mm-hmm. Oh, sweetheart. Did you miss grandma? I’ll tell you something. Grandma missed you an awful lot. Mm. Now, tell me — where is your big brother, spencer? Hmm?

[ Gasps ] Look who it is! Two of my three favorite people in the world.


you don’t have to apologize. I understand why you didn’t tell me. Dad… explained everything. How are you doing? At the moment… all I can be is thankful that I have… two such wonderful sons. Hey! How’s it going? Did you miss me? ‘Cause I missed you. Aww. And I’m back, and we could play all day now.

[ Laughs ] Oh, dear. I missed you too, grandmother. It’s really good to see you. I’m glad that you’re home. I missed you, too, and I’m very glad to be home. And, hey, I got you a present. Look at that! Oh, my goodness.

[ Gasps ] This is for you! Hmm? Your brother got you a stuffed toy. Yeah. Yeah. You’re back. If I didn’t steal the deceptor files for granny and commit corporate espionage, she said she’d go to chase. Blackmailing her own granddaughter — thank you, no — by threatening to make trouble with her boyfriend? I don’t think tracy has ever stooped so low. I should have just been honest with chase from the beginning, ma. Then she wouldn’t have had anything to blackmail me with. But instead, I let her manipulate me, and I let down my friends and my colleagues. And they’re furious, and rightfully so. I deserved to get fired. This is on tracy, not on you, brook lynn. I just feel so terrible about what I did. Oh, honey. But you know what? Maybe it’s all for the best. At least, the getting fired part. Why would you say that? Because I’m going back into music, and it feels right. Well, of course it feels right. Because it is! Because it runs in the family.

[ Gasps ]

[ Both screaming, laughing ]


[ Screaming, laughter in distance ] Did you hear that? Of course I heard it. People in new delhi heard it. What’s going on? It’s a bensonhurst invasion. Oh, my god! Look at you! You look so good! Me? Look at you! You’re gorgeous! Oh, god. I wish. H-how long do we get to keep you for? I have absolutely no plans. I saw that my — my little girl was in need, so I wanted to be here for her. Well, I’m glad that you are. Mm. I will always be. Well, honey, honey, where are you staying? I hope you’re going to stay here in the house with me. Huh? I would invite you to stay with me and chase, but the apartment is very small. Okay, so not a problem. And, no, vivi. No. I was thinking of staying at the metro court. Okay, lolo, I will comp you a room. Well, of course you will, and I expect an exceptional room. And you will get one! We got brand-new suites with beautiful views of the waterfront. Just remember, detective chase is only a phone call away. That won’t be necessary. Just as always, you win. When do you want me to start working back at deception? No, ma, you know what? Olivia is right. You should stay here at the house. I think tracy would love having you here. To be honest, we really haven’t had time to discuss it. What’s there to discuss? I’d say it’s about time.

[ Chuckles ] Time for what? Love. [ Chuckles ] Ah. I love love. Right?

[ Laughs ] Well, hi, everybody. Wow. I didn’t realize I was interrupting a party.

[ Chuckles ] Terry, um… do you have a second? I’d like to speak to you about… something pretty important. Dad, finn said that you were diagnosed months ago. But, I mean, right now you… you seem fine. Well, luckily, right now, at this stage of the disease, I still have good days. But my symptoms are… increasing. My hands cramp up more and more when I’m doing simple things like signing my name or typing on the computer. And my balance isn’t so good anymore. I’ve fallen a few times. Dad… but fortunately, today is one of the good days. Why didn’t I see it? I — I should have. I went to great lengths to hide it from you. I didn’t see it either, bro. There was a couple of incidents, but I didn’t put it together. And like you, I should have. No, no, no. This can’t be about you guys blaming each other for what you did or didn’t see. I didn’t want either of you to see anything until I was ready. But now I’m — I’m glad that it’s finally out in the open and I’m able to be honest with both of you — and myself. Okay. How can we help? My weekend in the city with trina was great. Oh. Yeah. Fine dining, um, a few art museums. We caught a show. Nice. Uh, we’re glad you two could find some time away. Me too. Seemed like you had your hands full while I was away. Ace and i were just fine. We had some nice mother-son bonding time. And those are the times that you’ll never forget. Honey, ace seems a little tired to me. I know. It’s — it’s time for his nap. Here. I’m happy to put him down. We could put him to bed together. Sure. We can… put him down together. And maybe you could even sing that stupid song you sing to him that you made up. Oh, the…

ace, base, he’s got the cutest face …song? Yes, that one. That one. Bye-bye, sweetie. Bye! Wave! Sleep tight!

[ Chuckles ]

[ Whispering ] I am so relieved. You mean those two? Yes! Look how well they’re getting along together. I was concerned for ace’s sake. Yes, but… unlike spencer, who has a life outside of ace, esme seems…isolated. And all she has is her work at the invader. She doesn’t really seem to have a group of friends.


That’s enough information for the day. You’re a quick study. Well, you’re a great mentor. Well, I have some paperwork to catch up on. When are you starting here at gh? Next week. I hope I’ll be ready. Oh, you’ll be great! You’re a natural. And I’ll be around whenever you need me. Okay? Thank you, stella. I appreciate it. Spencer was a true gentleman. You have nothing to worry about. Are you sure? I’d hate to have to go full “granddad.” Spencer treated me very well. We had a great trip. She, uh, she gave me the highlights. Whoa! And did you approve? I approve. Yeah. That’s new, isn’t it? Yeah, uh, spencer gave it to me so that I always have something to remember our trip together. And always remember spencer by, no doubt. Well, spencer is pretty unforgettable, so… and what do we have here? These, pop, are a present from trina. And I’m willing to share if you pick the right one. I want the knicks hat. It’s yours. Good choice. Well, I have a paper due for school, so I have to head back to the dorms, okay? Okay. I’ll see you later. Bye-bye. Bye. Thank you for the hat. You don’t really think that cassadine boy is good enough for her, do you? I don’t think I can tell my daughter what to do or who to be with.

[ Clears throat ] What time are you off work? I’m not sure yet. Text me what you like for dinner. I will. Maybe italian? Or russian? Okay. I have patients to see.

[ Chuckles ] What makes sure you, uh,

shower them with kindness. So, portia, what can I do for you?

[ Door closes ] I know that I initially turned down your job offer… but I’ve had a change of heart, and I really want it. I believe that I can do a great job, for you and for gh… so I am officially accepting your job offer to be co-chief of staff. I’m not so sure about staying here at the qs’…

with tracy, you know? I think the room you described at the metro court sounds perfect for me, and I’m going to stay there. Yeah. Actually, you know what? I think that what brook lynn said was right. If — if you stay here and we’re under the same roof, we can really have a proper visit, honey. You know, we could braid each other’s hair and watch crummy movies and eat junk food just like old times. Vivi, no. I don’t think so. Mnh-mnh. Lolo, if I’m at the metro court, it’s going to be all about work drama. I’m not really going to get a chance to see you. Fine. Fine!

[ Clears throat ] Hey, speaking of drama… yeah? …Does ned still think he’s actually eddie maine? What do you mean a bensonhurst invasion? Well, olivia was bad enough, and now there’s two of them. So olivia has family visiting? Why don’t you see for yourself? Okay. Ace is asleep. Mm! Yeah, and I only had to hear spencer sing that silly song three times, but it did make ace laugh, so I guess it was worth it. And he’s asleep, so… good. So, uh, grandmother, you still haven’t told us why you guys decided to come back. Did you give up on looking for my father? Actually, no. Your grandmother refused to give up. Didn’t matter how difficult it became, she insisted we keep looking. It wasn’t always easy at times. Search took us to russia, greece. The trail eventually took us to geneva. Uh, where we actually met with your dad’s banker, who said that he had been seen there at the bank taking out some withdrawals. Um… we didn’t actually see your dad, but we know he’s alive.


Elizabeth, how is finn doing? Oh, he’s well. We should all get together again soon. You, finn, me, terry. I like finn. He’s, uh, good people. Yeah, he’s pretty great. We’ll check our schedules and get back to you guys. I better go. Starting new job this week, and, uh, I have to figure out how to tell my old boss I’m leaving. That’s never easy. Good luck. Hey, it’s me. Just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you, and I hope everything’s going okay with chase. See you later tonight at my place. My specialist was clear. This…

[ Exhales sharply ] …Is a terminal diagnosis. There is no cure for als. But how I handle this disease, how quickly I deteriorate, that’s still to be determined. I’m trying to take this day to day. Are you sure there’s nothing we can do? I wish there was. You know, dad’s got a lot of good days left. And even as the disease progresses, there’s going to be a lot of opportunities to… to be together, to spend time together, to love each other. Well, we will be with you every step of the way. I love you, dad. I love you. I’m a lucky man. Are you sure about taking on the extra responsibility? It’s a lot of work. A lot of hours. I am not afraid of hard work. I’ve worked hard my entire life, and I do not plan on stopping it now. That sounds great. I’ll let dr. Quartermaine know. You might even start on monday… what? …Partner. Yeah.

[ Laughter ] You know, pop, I told trina when she gave me this hat… even though I can’t play, god, I still love the game. Any progress in finding out who shot you, son? It’s been a while. Have the cops found anything? No. Haven’t heard anything yet. You know… the whole time I was a cop, my biggest fear was getting injured in the line of duty.

[ Scoffs ] So when it finally happened, I’m a civilian. Do you know where nikolas is now? No, I don’T. I mean, knowing nikolas, he — he could really be anywhere.

[ Ace crying over baby monitor ] Perfect timing. I think I need a little bit of a break from talking about my dad, so I’m gonna go check on ace. Uh, no, no, no. Why don’t you stay and catch up with your grandmother? I’ll go check on ace. Actually, I agree with esme. I need to make some calls and catch up on my patients. So it’s what we thought all along? My father left us… and he doesn’t want to come back? I really believe that your father is gonna realize the mistake that he’s making and that he will come back to us. I really hope for everyone involved that he just stays away. Spencer, you know you don’t mean that. But I’m really, really glad that you’re home. Aww. And I missed you. I missed you, too. I missed you a lot. It’s gonna be okay. Okay. I’m gonna go check on ace.

[ Sighs ] Oh. Yeah. Valentin, it’s laura. I just got back to port charles. When you pick this up, will you please call me back right away? I want to know what’s going on with charlotte. Thanks. The neighborhood hasn’t changed at all. The pizza place is still hoppin’ every friday night, and the arcade is busier than it’s ever been! Oh, the arcade! How many hours did we spend and waste in that dump? Oh, too many. How many nails did I break playing those stupid games all the time? Well, how’s — how’s gloria and carmine? Oh. Aww, my parents are great. Thank you for asking. Yeah. Yeah, ma still makes pasta every sunday night. Pops is still working in the garage. Can you believe it? Brook lynn… what? …You need to see your grandparents more often. They’re not getting any younger. I will, ma. I promise. You better. Oh. Mm! I know you. Well, I should hope so. I’m your ex-wife… and I’m brook lynn’s mother. Oh. Yeah. But I feel like I know you from somewhere else.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Right, well, um, still, I’m, I’m, I’m glad to see you and I know the move can be hard, you know, leaving your friends behind. Yeah. Yeah, but I did just, I did just meet this really cool girl in the park, so. Oh, wow. That was fast. Yeah. Yeah, but I thought… What? Never mind, never mind. I just feel really stupid, but you don’t, you don’t need to hear it.

Oh, come on, Tate. Why did you feel stupid? Because, um, I kind of thought she was into me, but she shut me down pretty quick. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I mean, turns out she’s into someone else, so… Hey, Mom. Tarlas, don’t be discouraged because I’m sure you will meet plenty of potential girlfriends here. Yeah, yeah, it’s just, it’s just a little weird being the new guy in town, you know.

But, this girl Holly did give me her number, so… I’m sorry, did you say Holly? What are you

watching tonight? Uh, tonight, we’re watching… Welcome to your childhood. I have been working on a secret blend of salt and… Chanel, uh, look who’s joining us. You remember Holly, right? Yeah, are you guys back together? We are. That’s wonderful! I’m happy for you. Really happy. But also kind of surprised. I mean, you guys got a divorce, right?

I figured your relationship was totally over. Uh, yes, it was. But, um, Chanel decided to give me another shot. Hmm. But aren’t you into girls now? Oh, uh, girls, boys, I’m into both. Well, that’s a bummer. Excuse me? Oh, no, no, sorry, I meant, um, It’s a bummer for the dating pool in Salem, because you’re such a catch, right?

You know, Holly is right. By the way, you are a total catch. And look who caught you. Again. Look at me.

Um, Dr. Evans. What are you doing here? I came to thank you personally. Susan filled me in on what happened. How you and Ava had realized that she was alive, and how you rescued her from Crumb. She thinks you’re a real hero. Okay, uh, I’m not sure the Salem PD would agree with her, but thank you. You’re welcome.

And if I can vouch for you in any way, at all, please call on me. I appreciate that. But right now I’m more concerned about Ava. I think there’s a good chance she could be sent to prison.

Hello, Ava. How you doing? What did the doctor say? You okay? Oh, yeah, I’m just fine. Good. I’m glad to hear it. As am I. Because now Mother can finally press charges against you for attempted murder.

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

What was this girl Holly’s last name? It wasn’t Jonas, was it? I don’t know. She never said. Well, what does she look like? She’s, uh, she’s hot. Very helpful tape. Sorry. Yeah. It’s okay. Oh, I know. Got my phone here.

Is this her? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that’s Holly. Why do you have a photo of her? Because she’s my daughter.

So, are we good to go here, G? Yes, uh, movie’s all set, so. Mom, I better get out of your hair. What? No, stay. Watch the movie with us. Are you sure? I don’t want to crash your date night. Hey, the more the merrier. And there’s plenty of popcorn. Yeah. Okay. Just, uh, you know, slide over, make some room for Chanel. No problem.

Okay. Thanks, Holly.

This is gonna be fun. Thanks for including me, guys.

Eva was already in a lot of trouble before the two of you went down the lab and you, you put a lot on the line for her. I, I mean, what else was I going to do? Somebody tried to kill her at Bayview. I had to step in. You did more than step in. You escaped from Bayview. You helped her evade the police. And then you helped create an international rescue mission.

I would say you’ve done quite a bit for her. Yeah, I… Like, one thing did lead to another. But Ava was worried that, you know, nobody would believe her side of the story. She knew that E. J. DiMera sent that hitwoman, and the only way to stop him from going after her again was to prove that Susan was alive. So you forged two passports, and you fled the country, and then you went about going on the run, avoiding the police, at your own risk.

I feel like there’s a question in here somewhere. There is. I’m curious. Why you did all that for Ava?

Press charges? I am the reason your mother is standing right here. You’re also the reason she went missing for a year. And you know damn well I wasn’t in my right mind when I did that. Unlike you. You, who knew exactly what you were doing when you sent that hit woman to bathe you to assassinate me. I didn’t know such a thing.

Oh, you lie. You’re such a liar. Prove it. Prove it? Yes. Hey, hey, hey. What’s going on here? Commissioner Hernandez, my mother is ready to make a statement about how Ava tried to kill her. Uh, uh, uh, actually, mm mm, I’m not, I’m not, yeah, I will not press charges against Miss Ava Daly. Would

you like a lollipop?

Uh, that thing I said about that girl, Holly, uh, being hot. I meant that in like a totally respectful way. It’s okay, Romeo. I get it. Dad mentioned that you had a daughter with Daniel. I guess I just, I forgot her name. In my head, she’s still like a little kid or something. Tell me about it. But to my dismay, she is all grown up.

Feels like it happened overnight. Yeah, what a crazy coincidence. I mean, what are the odds? Welcome to Salem. Hey, but since it happened, do you think you could put in a good word for me? Never mind, I mean, what’s the point, right, if she’s in love with this other guy? Um, I’m sorry, wait. Uh, first you said she was into someone else.

Now you’re saying she’s in love? Yeah, that’s what she said. What, did you not know? No. She hasn’t mentioned anything. I wonder who she’s talking about.

Okay, mid movie review, what do we think so far? Oh my god, I’ve heard of Clueless, of course, but I’ve never seen it before. And when you said it was almost 30 years old, I thought it might be in like, black and white or something. Oh my god, Johnny, we are old. Um, wow, okay, well it’s not like we even grew up on that movie anyway, but actually, Holly, Color was introduced to film in its infancy, like a hundred years ago in the uh, silent era.

See, they actually used to Oh, okay, okay, Mr. Movie Buff. We’re here to have fun tonight, remember? Not help write a film studies dissertation. No, that’s really interesting, Johnny. And so far, I’m loving it. Alicia Silverstone and Paul Brett, they make such an amazing couple. Don’t you think? Uh, even though it’s It’s a little creepy that their characters are practically related.

Oh, come on. They’re not related. Not really. They’re step siblings. They didn’t even grow up together. Exactly. And there’s nothing wrong with that because they’re perfect for each other. Okay, okay. I stand corrected. Although, I’ve always kind of had my eye on Jeremy’s sisto. Sisto? You trying to make me jealous right now?

Maybe. Oh, whoa. Oh, my God. Are you all right? Yeah, no, just the, uh, wow. Chanel, that, uh, the popcorn is pretty heavy on the spice. Yeah, I’m sorry, that’s my fault. I like it salty and spicy. Here, let me get you something to drink. What do you want? Um, I’ll take a sparkling water. Thanks. Oh, can you grab me one too, please?

Sure. Sparkling water is all around.

Hello?

Helping Ava just seemed like the right thing to do. You know, she was scared, she didn’t have anybody on her side, and I was there. It was, uh, as simple as that. It might have been simpler if she told me about Susan after our hypnotherapy session. Yes, I… I think you can understand Ava’s trust issues. Mm hmm.

The person Ava trusts is you. I mean, being locked away together… Can bond people, and to be honest, it’s, uh, pretty lonely at Bayview, and we became friends. Is that all? Uh, why, why are you asking? Well, just, um, for my part, on a personal level, it’s really none of my business. But as your therapist, I think I need to caution you.

That you seem to be in denial. In denial about, about what? About your feelings for Ava.

What are you talking about? Ava drove you off a cliff. She tried to kill you. And that attempted murder is the reason why you were held captive for a year. Oh, sweet, sweet boy. Ava. And her hungry sidekick. They rescued me. Yeah, and Ava has made her a magic. And, sweetheart, I forgive her. Oh. You know, besides, I would rather have Mr.

Commish here. You know, focus on that, that mystery man. The man that shipped me off to Edmund. Oh, yeah, don’t worry. I’m on it, Susie. Alright, that’s it. Let’s go get some grub, hun. Mother, please, is there anything I can do or say that can get you to reconsider? Nope, nothing. Oh, Susan, thank you so much. You, you have no idea what this means to me.

Aw. Aw, lollipop? Yes. Alright, Alice darling, let’s go. Chow down! You’re a woman.

Yeah. So. Mr. Krish. What you waiting for? Yeah. Slow your roll, Vitaly. I’m not out of the woods just yet.

I hope tonight hasn’t been too much of a bust. First getting booted from your mom’s place, and then… Pauly crashing our movie night. It’s never a bust when I’m with you. And I am so loving watching Clueless again. Yeah, yeah, me too. And what a treat! Right, I mean, an actual color film produced in the black and white 90s.

Yeah, you know, I’m kind of glad your mom kicked us out tonight. Me too. Although, I have to say, it has been a lot more lively around here than normal, right? I mean, so many people moving in and out of this mansion in the last year. Oh, including Holly. Right, right. But, uh, she’s cool though, right? Yeah. Yeah, she is.

I mean, pretty low bar, though. All she has to do is not try and kill anyone. Yeah. Yeah, when you put it like that, um, I hope my murderous family is not deterring from the point that I’m actually trying to get at here. Okay, which is? Well, I was just wondering if maybe you’d like to be the next person to move in.

You know, Brave the Demerit Dungeon. Oh, and you put it that way. No, but seriously though, what do you think? Well, gee, I’m, I’m really glad that we’re back together and we’re having fun. But, I, let’s just not get ahead of ourselves, okay? Okay. Fair enough. How about a compromise then? Maybe, after we finish this movie, you and I could slip up to my room and start practicing for when you do move in.

You could be the Cher to my Josh. Unless you’d rather, I don’t know, you know, go track down, uh, what’s his name, Jeremy’s sister or

something. Oh, as if. Special delivery. Oh, hey, Molly. Um, wow, thank you very much. Thanks. Very kind. Sorry, I kind of stole your spot. No problem.

Oh! Whoa! Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Did Holly mention who this person is? This guy she’s in love with? No. Well, maybe she was teasing you. Right? Talking about a celebrity crush. You know, she’s Oh!

Michael B. Jordan, too. Yeah, yeah, she did say that she thinks the guy feels the same way about her, so. Really? Unless Harry and Michael happen to be, uh, sliding into her DMs, uh. I sincerely doubt that.

Oh, shoot, my dad’s freaking out. I gotta go. Do you need a ride? No thanks, I’m good. It was, it was nice seeing you. Good to see you too, Dave. And be safe. Yeah. Oh,

sweetheart, I am so glad I ran into you. I have the most incredible news. Oh, what’s up? I don’t even know where to begin, to be honest. Elvis! Elvis! This, this is what I have missed most. Mmm, good old American cuisine on a stick. Oh my God, Susan, I can’t believe this. You’re alive. Yeah, oh my gosh, and you’re preggish.

You know, we were just with Mr. Commission. He didn’t say anything about finally becoming a daddy. Hmm.

Are you seriously gonna press charges against me for escaping from Bayview and running off to England? No. No, I’ll see the DA’s office. It’s, uh, it’s kind of a mess ever since Trask was fired, so, uh, they’re gonna let that slide since you rescued Susan. Okay, so then what is it? Oh, is it because Harris and I didn’t get EJ’s confession because we tried?

Oh, and believe me, I want that bastard behind bars just as much as you do. Nope. Not that either. What is it? Well, I don’t know if it’s completely slipped your mind, but you weren’t exactly a free woman when you escaped from Bayview. You were there because of a court order. Yes, but I got better. Susan is alive.

Okay, well, maybe you did, but… Where you go next, it’s not up to me. It’s up to your doctors.

Dr. Evans, I really don’t want to talk about this. It…

I understand. And, I wouldn’t ask if I weren’t your therapist. But it’s important for me to know because it affects you. And, it affects your recovery. Okay, um, I’m not gonna deny that I care about Ava. We grew close in Bayview and even closer on the run, but I don’t know, the kind of feelings you’re talking about.

Alright.

So, what’s going on? So, Susan decided not to press charges against Ava. And, um, well, as for the illegal passports and evading the police, DA’s just gonna let it all go. You got lucky. Because although what you did was unlawful, it led to the rescue of Susan, and, uh, well, long story short, you’re off the hook.

No one’s going to prison. So, Ava and I are free to go? No. Not quite. Well, technically, you and I have to complete our court ordered stay at Bayview, but, um… Well, you know some doctors there, don’t you? I do. I can make a call. Oh, Dr. Evans, do you think that I really need to go back? I mean, I feel like I’ve made so much progress, and…

Well, I’m sorry, that isn’t really up to me. Do you think that you could talk to my doctors about it? I’d be glad

to.

Honey, you didn’t tell her? There was a lot going on. Well, don’t tell me what! Nicole is pregnant with my child, not Rafe’s. Oh, oh, okay, hold on. I thought that you were Mrs. Comish. You have missed out on a lot since you’ve been gone. Um, Mother, Nicole and I are back together. In fact, we are, um, Engaged. Oh! Yes!

And this little bundle of joy is your future grandbaby. Are you sure about that? Because I’m not getting any kind of familiar connection. Well then your psychic powers are on the

fritz because that child is definitely mine. You’ve even done a paternity test. What? Are you hollering around on my boy? Mother! No, Susan, and I resent that question very much. Wait, you know, well then why, why would you have to get a test to find out if the baby is yours?

Okay, because, there, and, there were some issues, okay, in Salem about the time I got pregnant, and I was high, and, Well, so was the person I was with because of these tainted biscuits. Tainted biscuits, huh? Yes. Wow, and so who was the other person, ha, on biscuits? How is that important? My God, can’t you just be happy for us?

Be happy for yourself. We’re having a baby and you’re going to have a grandbaby. That is wonderful news, is it not? Okay, yes, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m glad, I’m just so happy for the both of you. You know what? To show you my congratulations to the both of you, I am going to give you my last lollipop.

And look, it’s so pretty. Here you go. You know, children are really a blessing, aren’t they? It’s about time. Okay, calm down. No, seriously, Ted, come on, where have you been? I’ve been texting you for hours. I told you, Dad, I was out. I wanted to get reacquainted with the neighborhood. I gotta say, not much has changed since I was a kid.

Because that was so long ago. Well, I, uh, I went by the park. You know, the one that we used to see the ducks at? Oh, yeah? Wait, you remember that? Yeah, yeah, of course I remember that. Huh. Did you see any ducks when you were there? Well, I, uh, I saw one chick. A, uh, chick? A girl, dad. I saw a girl. Ah. Yeah. And get this, you uh, you know her.

I do. Who is she? Her name’s Holly. She’s uh, she’s Nicole’s daughter. Chanel, oh my god, I’m a napkin. I, I don’t think one napkin is going to cut it. I’m such a klutz. You must hate me. No, no, it’s fine. You’re fine. It’s not like I’m a wicked witch or anything. Oh, wow. Now you’re gonna have to go all the way home to change.

What? No, no, you don’t have to do that. Um, I’m sure I’ve got a, uh, you know, a t shirt or something that fits, and I’m sure there’s a pair of sweatpants up there that’ll sort of fit as well. And I’m pretty sure that I remember where you keep your things. Fantastic. Okay, so, um, I guess I will just go upstairs, do a quick little wardrobe change, and…

I’ll come back. Sounds good. Um, yeah. T shirts. Top drawer of the bureau. Next to the window. Sweatpants are on the bottom. Right. Again. I’m so sorry. Hey, it is okay. I you dare start that movie again without me. Of course not. I totally ruined everything, didn’t I? You should have kicked me out on movie night when you had the chance.

Oh, no, it’s fine. It’s fine. Don’t worry about it. It was an accident. An A. I was just telling Chanel I think you’re really cool. You are? Yeah. Yeah, this, uh, this whole nut house has been a lot more bearable since you and your mom moved in. Johnny, can I tell you a secret? Yeah, sure. What is it?

So I’m guessing there wasn’t anything on that tape that you could use against EJ? No. No, unfortunately not. But thanks for trying. Yeah, I know it’s kind of weird. I don’t know if he caught on or not, but he just left. But I’m just hoping that he doesn’t come after Ava again. Yeah, EJ isn’t really known for forgiving and forgetting.

No, no, he’s not. Dr. Evans, um, what did my doctors say? They agree that you’re making amazing progress. And, before your escape, they were actually considering releasing you. And now? Now they believe that you’ve learned right from wrong. And the woman that drove Susan off that cliff is not the same woman who risked her life to save her.

They think you are no longer a risk to society. So I’m free? You are free Oh my god, I’m

free.

Well, I’ve been debating whether or not I should keep this to myself, but maybe now’s the time to speak up. Eh? Oh my god, I’m crazy. No, no, I’m not. Look, I promise, no judgment here. Okay, well, I’ve been thinking a lot about… Grandma? Grandma? Grandma! Oh my god! So happy to see you! Look at you!

Oh

my god, I, I can’t believe this.

Me neither. Wait, how is this possible? It’s a long story, but all that matters is your grandma is home safe and sound. Holly, honey, can I speak to you for a second? Yeah, what’s up? What is it? Well, I spoke with Tate Black, you know, the boy you ran into at the park earlier. Oh, so his last name is Black. Is he…

Brady’s son. Yeah, I did not put that together. Neither did he. Put together that you’re my daughter. But, uh, he told me about your encounter, and what I want to know is… Who’s this boy you’re in love with? Uh…

Um… Holly! Yeah, she’s, uh, she’s a sweet girl. I’m hoping the two of you can be… Good friends. Yeah. Yeah, well… Actually… Well, actually what? Never mind. No, no, no. Hey, hey. Well, actually what? What are you hoping to sweep her off her feet? Hoping she’ll fall in love with you? What do you have planned here, buddy?

What actually? What? Why are you being so mean about this? I mean, am I not allowed to be attracted to some girl and go out with her? First of all, first of all, she’s not some girl, okay? It’s Nicole’s daughter. Second of all, yeah, you can feel whatever you want to feel. I just… I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to act on it right now.

Cool. Yeah, I’m going to my room. No, Tate, wait. Please, come here.

I know I’m being tough on you right now, okay? I’m sorry about that. But with what happened at your school, I just wish you were a little more focused on making up for that instead of… You caused your parents a lot of anxiety and a lot of disruption. We had to go to California and bring you back here. I already said I was sorry about all that.

I know, but that’s not always good enough. That’s why tomorrow you’re going to be enrolled in Salem High. And when you’re not studying, buddy, you are going to be working. Working? What are you talking about? When you blew me off at lunch, the pub, your Uncle Roman did show up, and as a favor to your mom, he said you could work there.

Work there? Yeah. That is so not fair. I thought you were joking about that whole job thing. I’m not joking, Tate. You caused damage at your school. You’re going to pay for it because of your stupid prank. Come on, Dad. That’s like 50K. It’s going to take me forever to earn that back. Good. And you’ll stay out of trouble forever.

Now that you’re free to go, Ava, I don’t want to see you back here. Ever. Got it? You know, normally, I might have a snarky response, but… I’ll just say that I plan to walk the straight and narrow from now on, I promise. Well, I hope that’s a promise you keep. Oh, I will. Um, is there a phone that I could use to call my son?

I’ve got to ask him to pick me up, and I guess I need a place to stay. You can use the phone in my office. Well, um, I’ll be back.

Bayview is willing to readmit you if you’d like me to drive you over. You know, um,

After everything I’ve been through, you know, I’m feeling pretty good about my mental health. What do you mean? Well, I mean, I had you commit me because I thought I was going to be a danger to other people and I don’t really feel like that anymore. You know, and despite all the stress and everything that happened when I was on the run, I just, I felt like, I felt like I was back in control.

So… With your approval, I would like to end my stay at Bayview, uh, but also keep seeing you on an outpatient basis if that’s… I mean, what do you think about that? I think that’s reasonable. I’ll make the call. Thank you for everything. Yeah, I’m just curious about one thing. Your decision… To leave Bayview, does that have anything to do with the fact that Ava’s no longer there?

Not at all.

Oh, let me get a good look at you. I can’t believe how grown up you are. Why not? My mom must text you photos of me all the time. Well, yeah, she does, but… He doesn’t like seeing you in person. I’m so glad you’re here, honey. Yeah, me too. Granny Mar Mar. What? I never heard my sister calls you that. What, you don’t like it?

Well, you may call me Grandma Marlena. Unless you like sleeping in the broom closet. Deal. Grandma Marlena. Thank you. This kid’s trouble. Oh, you’re telling me. I’m gonna set up your room. I will help you.

Honey, what are you doing? Mom, you are embarrassing me. Why would you be embarrassed? Hello, you are being nosy about my love life. Right out in public. Oh, so you are in love. No, I just made that up. Why would you do that? Because that Tate guy, he tried to kiss me. He did? Yeah, but I’m totally not into him. So, I just made up a story about some boy I was in love with.

You know, to let him down easy. Okay. Well, that was kind of you. And it makes more sense than you not telling me that you’re in love. Because you would tell me, wouldn’t you? Of course I would. Okay, good. Because I feel like you and I have a close relationship, right? And you would be open to telling me something that important?

I just said I would.

All right. Do you want to go back in there or do you want me to walk five paces behind you so I don’t embarrass you? Mom. Mom. Uh, actually, you go on ahead. I’ll catch up. Seriously, Mom, I love you.

Just go. Okay.

I love you too. Hi. You alright? You look a little upset. No, I’m fine. So, something going on in there or what? Oh, right, you were upstairs? Well, you’re never going to believe this!

So… So Ava, Ava was right? You’ve been alive this whole time? Mm hmm. And thank goodness that, uh, Ava and Mr. G. I. Blues, they, they rescued me, because I would have still been locked up and, you know, chained up to that floor in Edmund Crumb’s crummy little flat. Well, I think Ava maybe has redeemed herself this time.

Impossible. Hey, Elvis, you, you, you leave that girl alone, you hear me? Grandma’s right, Dad. Okay. It’s time for you and Ava to just, just wipe the slate clean, okay? Start fresh.

I guess I’m outnumbered here. Fresh slate it is.

Yes!

That’s my you tried to have Ava killed. She may be off the hook. Sure not, Elvis.

Yeah, Harris, that’s wonderful news all around. Yeah, I’m feeling pretty good about it, actually. Um, But I was calling because, is, is Mr. Brady around? Uh, no, he isn’t at the moment, but I’m filling in for him. Is there anything I could do for you? Well, I heard, uh, Eric’s room is vacant, and I was wondering if his dad would take me on as a tenant.

He sure. Yes, absolutely. I think he would be happy to do that, and I would be happy to have you here as well. That’s great. Thank you so much. Well, I’ll let Roman know, and we will see you here soon at the pub, your new home. Look forward to it.

Hey.

Ava. So, um, Tripp’s gonna come pick me up, but I just, I wanted to say goodbye and, um, thanks. Again. No thanks required. So, um,

you headed back to Bayview? Actually, I’m not, uh, gonna go back. And Dr. Evans said she will have me released. Really? That’s terrific. That’s great. So what are you going to do now? Well, uh, since I came to Salem to keep an eye on Megan Romero, and I don’t know, now that she’s gone. Yeah. You can, um, leave town then, huh?

No. I’m gonna stay here in Salem. I grew up here. It seems like a nice place to start a life. That’s, that’s really great. You, um, you have a place to stay. Uh, well, Dr. Evans actually said her son moved out of the Brady Pub, and Kate just rented the room to me. Well, look at that. Everything’s just working out.

And, uh, for what it’s worth, um, I’m really glad you’re staying in Salem.

I guess I’ll see you around. Yeah,

Mommy!

I want my mommy! Shhh. I’ll get

you

back to your mom. I promise. What’s your name? Bella. Okay, Bella, I’m Gabby. Is this your house? No.

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: No. No, what– what are you saying? You– you and sheila? No. No!

Deacon: Sweetheart, please! Please, please.

Hope: N

Deacon: Hope, I know this is a lot–

Hope: A lot? Dad, it’s insane! Just like she is! I mean, there’s no– no possible way you could be in love with that monster!

Deacon: I know this doesn’t make sense right now–

Hope: No! It doesn’t! It doesn’t, dad, because after everything that you fought so hard for, how could you allow yourself to be involved with that?

Finn: Keep me updated on– on her condition and we’ll go from there. Thank you.

[ Finn sighs ] You and deacon–

Sheila: Are in love. I know, it’s– it’s hard to believe, but we– we couldn’t be happier.

Rj: Finn? Oh.

Finn: Oh, hey.

Rj: Hey, man. Uh, what– what are you doing here? I– I mean, it’s– it’s good to see you.

Finn: Yeah.

Rj: Are you looking for my dad, or…

Finn: Oh, no, no. I, um… uh, just had to talk to hope about something, so.

Rj: Okay. Have you, um– have you talked to steffy at all recently?

Finn: Yeah. We talk, her and I, to the kids every night. Still trying to convince her to come home.

Rj: Well, we know there’s only one way that’s gonna happen. So, um… any news on sheila?

Li: Luna! What are you doing here?

Luna: Uh, it’s– it’s good to see you too, aunt li.

Li: I asked you a question.

Luna: Um, I’ve actually been working here for a little while now.

[ Li scoffs ]

Li: I didn’t even know you were in L.A., Let alone working here at forrester creations, where my son’s wife and family work! Answer me! Why are you here?

Luna: Um, I’m here because I need a job and I’ve always wanted to work in fashion.

Li: So, you just randomly picked forrester creations?

Luna: Well, I interviewed for the position on my own. I don’t know, I– I thought it might be a good fit for me.

Li: [ Scoffs ] Really? A good fit? Does your mother know about this?

Luna: No, no. She didn’t know I was interviewing, I swear!

Li: I find that far too coincidental. You could’ve gone anywhere! You and your mother must’ve known finn married steffy forrester.

Luna: No, no! It’s– it’s not like that.

Li: You listen to me. I don’t know what it is you want, but you’re not gonna get it here. You are not welcome at forrester creations!

Rj: Have you seen sheila?

Finn: She’s still in L.A.

Rj: Finn, you know you’re the only thing tying her here. Like, come on. If you convinced her that you didn’t want her in your life anymore?

Finn: Rj, I have been crystal clear that she needs to stay away from me and my family! All I want is for my wife and for my kids to come home. It’s my only focus! Nothing’s gonna distract me from that. Sheila is never gonna be a part of our lives!

Sheila: Hope, I– I know that this is a shock–

Hope: Nope! Stop! I do not wanna hear anything that comes out of your mouth! Dad, the truth. Please. There’s something more going on here, right?

Deacon: Sweetheart, I…

Hope: [ Sobs ] No…

[ Whispering ] Like, this is another setup, right? Like, you’re just trying to get her back in jail where she belongs?

Deacon: No.

Hope: No. No! I mean, it’s sheila! That can’t be!

Deacon: Sweetheart, I’m sorry about this. I can see how upset you are. I’m sorry. I didn’t wanna tell you this way, but it’s true. Sheila and I are in love.

[ Hope sobs ] Twenty bucks I can name all 26 b-dubs sauces.

Hope: This can’t be happening.

Deacon: Just hear me out, okay? She is not the same woman as she was before. She’s changed.

Hope: Dad, I don’t know what she has done to you, but you can’t be with her. She’s dangerous!

Deacon: Honey, she’s not. She’s not anymore. That’s what I’m telling you. Baby, people can change. Look at me. I have made so many mistakes in my life and you have been able to look past them ’cause you saw the man I that I am inside. You gave me the chance to be the dad to you that I have always wanted to be.

Hope: And that is because you put in the hard work, dad! You did the things that you needed to do. You made the right choices, you wanted to be a better man and you cannot convince me that she has done that kind of work!

Deacon: She is! She’s reformed. I told finn the same thing.

Hope: Oh, okay. So, finn knows about this and that’s why he wanted me to come down here, to witness this?

Sheila: Just like your dad is hoping that you can find a way to be happy for us, I’m hoping that too.

Rj: Finn, I know how much you love my sister.

Finn: More than my life, rj. And I’m gonna get ’em back, okay? I’m not gonna let sheila drive them away forever. I promise you, I’m never gonna stop fighting for my family.

Rj: Steffy was– she was happy with you. I mean, she was– she was really happy, you know, before.

Finn: Yeah.

Rj: Look, man. You have a beautiful family, all right? And just know I’m rooting for you, okay?

Finn: Thanks. Um… that means a lot. I appreciate that. Anyway, enough about me. How are you? What’s going on with you? You’re– you’re back in L.A., Working here now. A young, handsome man.

[ Rj laughing ] Is there someone special in your life?

Luna: Aunt li, I– I didn’t mean to upset you, but– but this is just a job. I mean, no one even knows that I’m related to you or finn. I– I haven’t told anyone. I just– I don’t understand why you’re being so hard on me.

Li: You know the history in our family. Your mother’s always been a disgrace! I try to help her out, got her a job at the gift shop in the hospital. What does she do? Has an affair with one of the doctors. One of my colleagues! Ruined his reputation and almost brought me down too because she’s my sister and I brought her in and vouched for her! Your mother has always been a disgrace to our entire family. And now, you show up here, at forrester creations? Finn’s in-laws’ place of business? No, ma’am. I will not allow it. You can go anywhere, do whatever you wish, but not here. Not at forrester creations!

Hope: Dad, please just stop and think about all of the terrible things that sheila has done to us, to our family. I mean, she terrorized mom for years!

Deacon: I know that this has to be difficult for you to understand and I get that it’s gonna take time, but I swear to you, she’s changed.

Hope: Dad, she is not capable! She cannot change!

Deacon: Listen to me. I don’t believe anyone is beyond redemption. Hope, do you know how many people wrote me off?

Hope: Oh, that is not a fair comparison, dad! You are nothing like her because you are not a monster!

Deacon: Neither is she. She’s not the same person. And I swore that to finn and I’m swearing it to you too. She will never hurt anyone else.

Sheila: Your father is right, hope. I– I have learned, I’ve grown, and for the first time in years, I found somebody who loves and accepts me for who I am.

Deacon: Honey, I get it. I– I get how hard this must be and that you’re having trouble wrapping your head around it, but please, trust me. I need you to believe in me here. Trust that I’m making the right decision.

Sheila: Hope, I– I just want to live a normal, decent life like anybody else. I am ready for some peace and some quiet, and I have found love with your father. And yes, at some point, I hope that I have a chance to be a part of your world and a part of finn’s world too.

[ Hope scoffs ]

Hope: Dad, look at me. What do you see?

Deacon: I… see my beautiful daughter. My loving, amazing, good daughter.

Hope: Do you wanna know what I think of when I look at you? I see a man who has made mistakes. Who wasn’t there for me when I was growing up.

[ Tearful ] Who I missed more than anything and I didn’t understand why he was gone. But I see a man who came out the other side of that. Who faced his demons. Who now has a– a business and friends that respect him and a daughter and grandchildren who love him! I see a man–

[ Sobs ] Who has become a father in every sense of the word. Are you really willing to throw that away for her? Because that is what you are risking.

Deacon: Hope, you are and always will be the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. And I love you more than anything in this world. And I don’t wanna lose you. I can’t even think about losing you. And I get it. I get this is a shock. I get this that is upsetting and that it doesn’t make sense, but you know what? Sometimes love doesn’t make sense! I love sheila.

Rj: Come on, man, what makes you think I’m seeing someone? Come on.

Finn: Oh, get out of here, man! It’s written all over your face!

Rj: [ Chuckles ] All right. Yeah, okay. There is– there is someone. All right, it’s new. It’s nothing– it’s nothing serious yet. You know, I’m just– just getting to know her and dude, she’s keeping me guessing, man. Like, all the time. I sw– you know– you ever been in that? Like, it’s just– it’s crazy. [ Laughs ] But, you know. I, uh… god, I love learning anything I can about her.

Luna: Please, aunt li. I mean, it’s like a dream here! I mean, it’s the most prominent fashion house in los angeles. I’m actually getting to work with mr. Eric forrester himself! I’ve also been working closely with rj forrester, brooke and ridge’s son.

Li: I know who he is.

Luna: He’s been so open to me about the way he designs and he’s been showing me the sketches that he and eric– m– mr. Forrester have been working on. And rj’s just beginning to design and the collection that he’s working on with his grandfather’s gonna be his first. And I’ve been following him online–

Li: You’ve been following rj? Or, you mean stalking the poor boy?

Luna: No, no! It’s not like that!

Li: You stay away from him! That’s steffy’s brother!

[ Scoffs ] I can’t believe you. You’re just like your mother. Of all the places, you just happen to land here at forrester creations. There was a reason why your mother wasn’t invited to finn’s wedding!

Luna: I know that you and my mom have never gotten along,

[ Li snorts ] But you know she loves you, aunt li. She talks about you all the time!

Li: I can only imagine what she says.

Luna: She misses you. I know she admires you.

Li: Your mother and I are two totally different people and I told her a long time ago that she has her life, and I have mine! I don’t want to see her! I don’t wish to know her. So whatever you two are planning–

Luna: No, I told you, this has nothing to do with my mom! Please, aunt li! Please let me stay, I’m begging you! This is my dream. Please don’t take it away from me.

Li: You will write your letter of resignation. Then, you will then pack your things and be gone by the end of the day. Your time here at forrester creations is over. Do you hear me, young lady? Over! Stouffer’s makes you happyfull

[ Deacon sighs ]

Deacon: Well, that did not go the way I wanted.

Sheila: Honey, I gotta tell you, what just happened gave me a little bit of hope for hope.

Deacon: It did?

Sheila: Yes! She could’ve walked out that door. She– she could’ve turned her back and walked away and she didn’T. She stayed and she listened to us. Yes, we knew that she was going to be upset and shocked. There was no amount of finessing that was ever gonna change that and we both knew it, but she does love you. You can see it in her eyes, just– just like I can see finn’s love for me.

[ Chuckles ] I think this relationship, our kids are going to accept it. Who knows? Maybe this relationship brings us all closer together. One big, happy family.

[ Door slams ]

Hope: I can’t believe it! I cannot believe it!

Finn: You saw your dad. You know.

Hope: Oh, oh, yes! Yes, I know! I got to witness the entire thing!

Finn: Sorry. Maybe I should’ve told you first.

Hope: No. No, I think this is good because I really don’t think I would’ve believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes, that image of the two of them standing there, just burned into my head! I mean, your– your mom and my dad. In love.

Rj: Whew! I’m beat. [ Chuckles ] How are you? You doing okay?

Luna: It was really wonderful getting to know you, rj.

Rj: What– what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Luna: I think you’re so talented and… I really learned a lot, even though I haven’t been here long.

Rj: Luna, you’re making it sound like this is coming to an end and– and it hasn’t even begun. Hey! Come on. Look at me. Look at me. What’s wrong? What’s this? Is this a letter of resignation?

Luna: I can’t stay here.

Rj: Why can’t you stay here?

Luna: It’s complicated, okay? I have to go and I can’t tell you why!

Rj: Wait, hold on, hold on! I’m not letting you leave. Talk to me!

Luna: I have to. I’m sorry! It’s a family matter. I can’t get into it.

Rj: Luna, that–

Luna: I have no choice. Look, I just– I wanna tell you how grateful I am for the time I’ve had here with forrester and with you. I’ve loved every minute. Goodbye, rj.

Rj: Wait. I’m not letting you go anywhere.

Daniel: Okay, here’s one. Three bedrooms, two and a half baths. That will give me an office and a guest room. Don’t really know if I need all that space, but I guess we’ll figure it out.

[ Knocking on door ]

[ Daniel sighing ] Heather. When did you get here? Um, come on in. Sorry.

Heather: Yeah. I– I got in this afternoon, actually.

Daniel: Is lucy with you?

Heather: No. Uh, she’s in lisbon with paul and christine. I just came back to wrap up the last of those pro bono cases that I handled over the summer. Two more days in court.

Daniel: Okay. It’s great to see you.

Heather: Yeah, you too.

Daniel: Is everything all right?

Heather: Yeah, everything’s fine.

Daniel: Are you sure? Because you– you seem a little flustered.

Heather: Just busy. I have a lot, you know.

Daniel: Yeah, but it’s more than that, isn’t it?

Heather: I don’t know, daniel, it’s, um, it’s, uh…

[ Heather exhaling ] This–

Daniel: Whoa, whoa, okay. Okay. What is it? Look, it’s– it’s me. You can talk to me. What’s going on?

Diane: Thank you for today. It was a perfect, beautiful afternoon. Well, almost perfect.

Jack: No, no, no, don’t even go there. I am going to pretend that, that interruption from tucker never even happened. Nothing is going to spoil this moment. And I am standing here alone with my beautiful wife, telling her how much I love her.

Kyle: Thank you.

Audra: I’m guessing you want me to reconnect with kyle so I can use him. You expect me to manipulate him into doing something that benefits you.

Tucker: You know the plan.

Audra: Kyle was never part of the plan.

Tucker: Hey, you keep your eye on the prize. Jabot. We’re gonna take over that company and you are gonna step in and you are gonna run it. Don’t worry about kyle. He’s a means to an end. Unless, of course, he means more to you than you let on.

Audra: Wow, kyle. Twice in one night. You know, I think the universe might be trying to tell us something.

Kyle: Hello, audra.

Audra: Hi, how are you doing? We didn’t really get a chance to talk at the reception.

Kyle: Is that why you followed me here? Or did you have something else on your mind?

Traci: Jack and diane seem so happy, don’t they, billy?

Billy: Yeah. No, it was a very lovely ceremony.

Traci: Yeah. And for kyle to be the one to pronounce them husband and wife is just, I mean, how awesome is that? Billy. Billy!

Billy: What? Yeah.

Traci: Do you figure if you stare at that long enough you’re gonna– you’re gonna be able to tell what’s inside?

Billy: I’m not just staring at it. I mean, are you not curious about what’s inside here?

Traci: No, I don’t care one little bit what sick idea of a wedding gift tucker mccall has given them. And jack doesn’t care either, which is why he’s told us to ignore it and throw it out. So, what are we waiting for?

Audra: So, even if ashley gave you a sign, you’d still go after jabot?

Tucker: Absolutely. She showed me who she really is in paris. And so, now I’m left to believe that everything that came before is just a game. A ploy to pull me back in.

Audra: But why?

Tucker: God knows. Probably some long ago resentment she can’t let go of.

Audra: I think you’re wrong. No, I think she did fall back in love with you. She just found it harder to break away from her family than she thought.

Tucker: I think you missed your calling. Sadly, therapists don’t make the kind of money you’d be interested in though.

Audra: I know what I saw.

Tucker: Not from personal experience, I assume?

Audra: I’ve never been in love in that way.

Tucker: Well, take it from me, it’s highly overrated.

Audra: Well, at least you’ve been there. And I think you still are.

Tucker: In love with ashley?

Audra: Yes. And I also believe that if you gave yourself permission, you know, to go back to that place, you’d give her another chance and call off this attack.

Tucker: Let me be perfectly clear about something, audra. There is nothing that will stop me from dismantling the abbotts and taking everything they hold dear. Nothing.

Both: Hey.

Tucker: What a nice surprise. Sit down. Let me buy you a drink.

Devon: How about, uh, first, you tell me how sincere you really were about making peace with jack earlier. This isn’t charmin!

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

-During an asthma attack,

Tucker: My best wishes to jack and diane were absolutely sincere.

Devon: Since when? What’s changed?

Tucker: Me. My attitude about things. Ashley broke my heart, so I was determined to have her family suffer the way I had suffered. I was driven to have my revenge on them until I realized I can’t hold the abbotts accountable for what she does. Any more than you should be held accountable for something I might do.

Devon: Well, that sounds reasonable.

Tucker: It was as much for me as it was for them. Let me tell you, vengeance can be exhausting.

Devon: I can imagine.

Tucker: Something tells me you’re not quite believing me though.

Devon: I would like to believe you.

Tucker: But?

Devon: But you don’t make it easy all the time. At all. I got conflicting stories that I’m hearing about you. People contacting me worried about what you’re gonna do. I know you came to town going after the abbotts and wanting to make them pay for whatever bad things you thought they did to you.

Tucker: Yeah, it’s all true.

Devon: So, you can understand then why your sudden shift in attitude might surprise some people.

Tucker: Including you?

Devon: Especially me.

Tucker: Well, I can’t think of any other way to prove it to you than the actions I take going forward. I realize that I have disappointed you quite a bit in the past, but I’m telling you right here now, I have no ulterior motive. I feel like my demons have been silenced. I just don’t want any more chaos in my life. Just peace and quiet.

Devon: Well, I hope that’s true.

Tucker: You can count on it.

Devon: I have another question for you. What’s your connection to aunt mamie?

Daniel: Can I, uh, get you something to drink? You want a water or anything?

Heather: No, I’m fine, thanks.

Daniel: So, what’s– what’s– what’s going on? What’s this all about?

Heather: I don’t even know where to start. Um…

Daniel: Well, why don’t you… just tell me what you’re feeling?

Heather: Abject terror?

Daniel: Seriously?

Heather: Uh, no. It’s not that dire. I’m sorry, I didn’t– I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. It’s just that ever since I left genoa city, I– I– I’ve been feeling a little off balance. And, um, it– it– it was like something felt unresolved and I– I don’t– I don’t know what or why.

Daniel: So, this wasn’t just about wrapping up a case?

Heather: No, but it did seem like a good reason to come back and try and figure it all out. It actually started with that conversation with phyllis, when she asked me if I ever thought about returning to the states to live. I mean, that definitely took me by surprise, but it did get me to thinking that– that maybe this feeling of restlessness that I’ve had isn’t just a passing thing. Because ever since I left, the longing to come back home is so strong. I… I can’t ignore it anymore.

Daniel: Well, look, I am all for you guys being closer so I can spend more time with lucy.

Heather: That’s what I came back here to tell you. I’ve decided to wrap up my law practice in europe and move back home.

Daniel: Are– are you serious? I– I don’t– I don’t know what to say. Heather, that’s– that’s fantastic. I mean, I’m– I’m happy. I’m happy for me. I’m happy for you. What– what are you thinking? Are you thinking of going back to uh, savannah?

Heather: No. We’re moving here. Genoa city. I want lucy to be close to her dad.

Audra: I’m not gonna deny it. I did follow you here.

Kyle: Why?

Audra: To talk to you.

Kyle: Oh, the last time we talked, you fired me and then you made it very clear you wanted nothing to do with me, or with us.

Audra: Well, the truth is I missed us.

Kyle: What are you angling for audra?

Audra: I’m not angling for anything. You know, I just regret that things cooled between us. That’s all. You know, I went to the party to tell you that, but you were so occupied all the time, I didn’t really have the chance.

Kyle: You could have tapped me on the shoulder. I was around.

Audra: Yeah, but with nikki and diane glaring at me all night, I kind of lost my nerve.

Kyle: Hm. Because you’re the self-conscious type?

Audra: In some instances, I actually am.

Kyle: Okay. Sure. Well, here we are. So, what now?

Audra: I guess that’s kind of up to you.

[ Kyle chuckling ]

Kyle: Did you really just say that to me? I wasn’t the one who put the brakes on us. That was you. Because you were scared of being fired. I was fine with doing our little thing in private without nikki knowing about it, but then she forced you to ditch me and you lost my number. So, forgive me if I’m not feeling very generous towards you right now.

Audra: Look, everything you’re saying is true. All of the above. But what I’m telling you is, look, I made a mistake and I will do anything I can to try and make it up to you. (Buzz) we’re such great friends we should have a nickname,

Jack: You know what I’ve been thinking?

Diane: What?

Jack: We never danced.

Diane: We didn’t?

Jack: Nope.

Diane: Well, you know, the whole afternoon was such a blur, but you’re right, we didn’T.

Jack: Don’t you think we should?

Diane: Oh, I’m sorry, jack, but the band went home.

Jack: Oh, who needs a band?

Diane: What?

Jack: May I have this dance, mrs. Abbott?

Diane: Of course, mr. Abbott. Aw.

Jack: Hm. We did it. We proved them all wrong. We stood up before god and family and the citizens of genoa city and declared our love for all to see. And they can’t doubt us now. Even nikki was supportive.

Diane: Yeah. And who could’ve imagined that?

Jack: I am just so proud of us. We have shown the world what love and commitment can do. And they have no choice but to accept it, to embrace it, or just turn and walk away. What more could we want?

Diane: Hm. I can think of something.

Jack: Oh, what?

Diane: That this night would last forever. Hm.

[ Door slamming ]

Billy: You know, we could be squandering a real opportunity here.

Traci: I don’t follow you.

Billy: Well, uh, this wedding gift, whatever this is, could be insight into what tucker’s thinking. Right? I mean, [ Sighs ] He loves to believe that he’s more clever than everyone else. Like a riddle from the riddler.

Traci: Or it could be just some– something hateful and despicable that he’s aiming at ashley and the abbotts specifically.

Billy: Uh-huh.

Traci: Or it could be a blender.

[ Laughs ] Oh, I don’t care. Why are you obsessing about this, billy? Come on. Let’s just take it to the trash, open up the lid and put it in there.

Billy: Hm. Okay. Fine.

[ Billy exhaling ] To hell with it.

Traci: Oh, billy, what are you doing?

Billy: No, I’m just satisfying my curiosity.

Traci: Come on, jack said that–

Billy: I know what jack said. He said, get rid of it and I will. I just want to see what’s inside first and we’ll start with the card. “May this symbol of harmony, balance, and patience bring those elements to your new life as husband and wife.” That’s very sweet. It rhymes. Okay.

[ Traci sighing ]

Traci: Hm. I guess that’s it, huh?

Billy: Hm.

Traci: No evil dolls or exploding clocks.

[ Traci laughing ] I hope you’re satisfied.

Tucker: What makes you think there’s some connection between me and your aunt mamie? I hardly know her.

Devon: Well, why did you look at her like that?

Tucker: Like what?

Devon: Like you did. The look you gave each other was clearly more than two people that barely knew each other.

Tucker: I’m sorry, I don’t know what look you’re referring to. Um, if there was a look, you’re misreading it. I mean, seriously, what connection could there possibly be between us? Are you guys watching? This is my favorite part.

Devon: Actually, you know what? Let me back up for you. Um, recently, mamie just made an investment into chancellor-winters and it came completely out of the blue. She didn’t tell me or lily beforehand that she was gonna do it. And her reasoning behind that, I don’t really buy.

Tucker: That’s very interesting, but what does that have to do with me?

Devon: I don’t know what it has to do with you. That’s why I’m asking. Trying to connect the dots. Because when you came to town, you were going after jabot and then you planted audra in my company because you were interested in it. Then, you just recently lost your chance at a new venture with ashley and now you’re claiming that you’re not interested in jabot anymore. And then, suddenly, mamie shows up and she buys a stake in chancellor-winters. So, what should I make of it?

Tucker: It sounds like a series of random, unconnected events to me.

Devon: Really?

Tucker: Yeah.

Devon: I know what I saw between you and mamie. You can sit here and deny it all you want.

[ Indistinct ] You might as well just tell me what the connection is.

[ Both exhaling ]

Audra: God, I missed that.

Kyle: Uh-huh.

[ Audra sighing ] So, what now?

Audra: Now, we continue to see each other.

Kyle: Really?

Audra: Yes, really.

[ Kyle scoffing ] I want that.

Kyle: What changed?

Audra: Nothing.

Kyle: Hm.

Audra: I just decided you’re worth the risk.

Kyle: Hm. Well, I’m flattered, but nikki has her antennas up. So, even if we’re careful, she’s bound to find out eventually.

Audra: Then, let her.

Kyle: I’m serious.

Audra: So am I. You know, I’m no longer concerned with what nikki thinks or does. And if she’s gonna fire me over having a private life, so be it.

Kyle: Wow. That’s a switch. It’s almost like you have a backup plan.

Audra: Hm. Maybe I do.

Heather: What do you think about us moving back here?

[ Daniel scoffing ]

Daniel: I’m thrilled.

Heather: Really? Oh. Sorry. Thank god.

Daniel: I– I’m sorry, but did you think that I wouldn’t be?

Heather: I wasn’t sure how you’d react. I was, um, I was practicing what I would say to you in my room like I was going over arguments for court. I was really nervous.

Daniel: I– I just want to know why though. I mean, you know that I wanted to spend more time with lucy. I– I just– I thought after everything that I put the both of you through that you never wanted to ever be close to me ever again.

Heather: That was a really bad time. You hurt us deeply. Both of us. You destroyed our family.

Daniel: Yeah. No, I’m– I’m aware. Thank you. Um, and you know, that’s something that I’ve struggled with. I struggled, wondering if you would ever be able to forgive me. And I mean, really forgive me. And I think it’s a miracle that lucy and I have been able to get so close again, but… well, for you to say that you wanna come back here. I don’t know what to say. I mean, that’s beyond my wildest dreams.

Heather: I do forgive you, daniel. I have seen such growth, such humility. I mean, you are finally becoming the man I always knew that you could be. So yes, I completely forgive you. Try killing bugs the worry-free way.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Daniel: You have no idea how much that means to me to hear you say that.

Heather: I had to let all that go, daniel. I mean, as much for my own sake as yours. The anger and the resentment was weighing me down. And then, I saw how you changed. How you were with lucy. How much she loves you. How she forgave you and it just went away.

Daniel: [ Exhales ] Well, um, I, for one, am glad that you did not give up on me.

Heather: So am I.

Daniel: And I’m not gonna lie. I kinda love the idea of the two of you moving here. You know, I can see the both of you every single day and I don’t know, we can just be a family again.

Heather: That’s all I needed to hear.

Kyle: So, what’s this backup plan of yours?

Audra: Hm?

Kyle: Well, you don’t seem to be scared of nikki’s wrath anymore. So, what are you cooking up?

Audra: I just missed you. Isn’t that enough?

Kyle: I am flattered audra, but I know you. So, what else are you doing?

Audra: I never said I had a backup plan, okay? Just that, you know, there’s a few possibilities out there. That’s all.

Kyle: And you aren’t gonna tell me what they are?

Audra: Well, I don’t wanna jinx it, kyle. Not until I actually know what’s gonna happen for sure. Anyway, I’d much rather talk about you.

[ Kyle sighing ]

Kyle: What about me?

Audra: Hm. Well, it’s been a while since, you know, you left newman media. I’m sure you have a few irons in the fire.

Kyle: Oh, since you fired me?

Audra: After nikki forced me to fire you, okay? I regret caving into her. I do. And, you know, I– I made a mistake. And didn’t I just prove to you how I really feel about you? So, can we please just drop it?

Kyle: Mm. Well, consider it dropped.

Audra: Thank you.

Kyle: Well, yes, I do have a few possibilities of my own.

Audra: I mean, if you don’t want to tell me that’s fine. It’s– it’s only fair.

Kyle: No, I’m not scared of jinxes. So, there are rumblings at jabot that my dad is, surprise, surprised, not too happy with billy’s performance. So, there may be an opening there soon.

Audra: Oh.

Kyle: That’s an underwhelming response.

Audra: Well, I’m sorry, kyle, but even if that were true, do you really think jack would give that position to you?

Diane: I’m so glad that kyle agreed to officiate.

Jack: Seems to me the least he could do for his parents, don’t you think?

Diane: That’s true. I loved it.

Jack: It was lovely. I liked it a lot too.

Diane: I saw it as a sign that he is fully on board with our marriage. And you know what else I saw as a positive sign? That he didn’t bring a date to the wedding.

Jack: Need I remind you audra showed up?

Diane: Yeah, but kyle barely even acknowledged her. And he and summer seem to be getting along, so I don’t know, maybe there’s hope for their little family.

Jack: Maybe.

Diane: You don’t seem very optimistic.

Jack: Oh, I don’t know. If it happens, it happens. The one thing I do know is nothing good will come of us pushing him. And audra did show up and as I saw it, she was pretty interested in rekindling things.

Diane: Yeah. But it takes two people on board to make that happen. And kyle definitely seemed not to be.

Tucker: Yes, I know mamie as someone to say hello to, but that’s as far as it goes. I don’t know how you go from there to– to me using her to get my hooks into chancellor-winters?

Devon: So, the look you gave her was just–

Tucker: It was just a look. It was a glance, recognition. Oh, look, there’s mamie. Frankly, I’m afraid you’re buying into the town’s collective suspicion of me. If you saw something in that look, maybe mamie has an ulterior motive, but it’s got nothing to do with me.

Devon: Okay.

Tucker: Is that okay, yes I believe you? Or, okay, I still have my doubts?

Devon: That an okay, that I’m choosing to believe you.

Tucker: It still doesn’t solve your problem though, does it?

Devon: What do you mean?

Tucker: Well, you’re concerned there’s something going on with your investor. What is it? Maybe I can help? You know that feeling of having to rewash dishes

Jack: Is that what I think it is?

Billy: Yes. I opened up tucker’s wedding gift.

Traci: Honestly, jack, I tried.

Jack: I’m sure you did.

Billy: And so, what?

Jack: So what? Once again, you have completely ignored what I asked you to do.

Billy: I was curious, jack.

Jack: Oh. And your curiosity led you to this plant? I’m sure there was a great payoff for that. Huh?

Billy: No, no. What do you think?

Jack: You don’t want to know what I think?

Diane: You know what? I’m glad that billy opened it.

Jack: Why?

Diane: Why? Because it takes its power away. If we would have just thrown it away and never discovered what it was, we’d always be wondering and talking about tucker’s gift. You know, is it a message or a warning or an olive branch?

Jack: Frankly, I don’t give a damn.

Diane: Really, jack? Are you that much more evolved than the rest of us?

Jack: I didn’t say that.

Billy: Well, you sure implied a whole hell of a lot.

Jack: You’re both completely missing my point. The reason I want that thing thrown away is I don’t want tucker mccall in any way, shape, or form intruding on what is one of the happiest days of my life. Here we are talking about tucker, speculating about tucker. I have had it up to here. I want this over and done with.

Diane: All right. Well, I would like to think that this gift is tucker’s way of expressing the same thing. That– that he’s done being at war with the abbotts and he wants peace.

Jack: I wish I shared your optimism. Nothing that man has ever done should be taken at face value. I know you see this as a harmless gift, but tucker isn’t done.

Tucker: Tell me what’s going on. Why are you worried about mamie buying a piece of chancellor-winters?

Devon: It’s– it’s just a feeling I get.

Tucker: That’s all good. I can work with that.

Devon: Uh, I didn’t know it was this late. I need to get back home.

Tucker: Okay, some other time then?

Devon: Sure. Some other time.

Tucker: Um, devon.

Devon: Yeah.

Tucker: Are we good? Do you still suspect that I’m involved in some kind of conspiracy? Whatever it might be.

Devon: Tucker. Honestly, if you meant what you said earlier, then I’m happy and relieved.

Tucker: But you still have your doubts? I just hope someday that, uh, we come to a point where suspicion of me is not your first instinct.

Devon: I mean, that’s really up to you, right?

Tucker: Indeed it is.

Devon: I’ll see you later.

Tucker: See you.

Heather: One of the good things– thank you. That my dad taught me was that life is too short to not go after the things that are important to you. So, I did it when I moved to portugal, even if it was to escape a bad situation, and I guess I’m doing it again. Deciding to leave a successful law practice over there to start all over again in a new place.

Daniel: Oh, well, you know, I wouldn’t say you’re starting all over again. And, you know, there’s no doubt in my mind that you’ll be just as successful here in genoa city.

Heather: Thank you. I appreciate your support.

Daniel: Yeah. And, you know, you have options too. If you want to stay in private practice, you can do that. If– if you want, I can talk to devon and lily, see if maybe there’s something they can set you up with over at chancellor-winters.

Heather: I don’t want any favors.

Daniel: This would be doing them a favor. Trust me. Um, when are you planning on making this move? What’s the timeline look like?

Heather: Immediately? If you’re taking an antidepressant So, you know, she doesn’t

Heather: The reason why I wanted to come back right away is to get lucy situated in school. So, you know, she doesn’t miss too much of the year.

Daniel: That makes sense and I can take care of that while you get everything packed up.

Heather: That’s great. Thank you.

Daniel: Yeah. Look, if there’s anything that you can think of that you want or need, just ask and I’ll get it done.

Heather: I will.

Daniel: This is really happening, huh?

Heather: It’s crazy, huh? You know, life just surprises you and takes you to places you never thought you’d ever go.

Daniel: Or come back to you.

Heather: You made this really, really easy, daniel. Thank you. This went so much better than I thought it would or however I feared it would go.

Daniel: I’m a little surprised that you thought it could go poorly because I gotta tell you, I am 100% on board here. I– I cannot be happier.

Heather: I’m about to grab a bite. You want to join?

Daniel: Uh, I– I would– I would love to, but I actually have a dinner appointment that I’m already late for. So, um, what about a drink tomorrow?

Heather: Yeah. I’d love that.

Daniel: This is– this is gonna be great.

Heather: Yeah, I think so too.

Daniel: So tomorrow.

Heather: Tomorrow.

Daniel: I’ll call you.

Heather: I’ll look forward to it.

Kyle: Why do you think my dad wouldn’t offer me the top job at jabot? I’ve had it once before.

Audra: Yes. But he’s always figured out a way to push you aside whenever it suited him.

Kyle: I was responsible for some of that too.

Audra: I mean, I think it’s great that you’re taking some ownership, but, you know, even if billy is pushed out the door, wouldn’t logical wisdom make diane next in line?

Kyle: Mm-mm. I don’t think so.

Audra: Why not?

Kyle: I love my mother, but between you and me, she’s not ready for a high-level position like that. She hasn’t been there before and on some level, my dad knows that too.

Audra: Hm. Okay. So, what happens if jack doesn’t get rid of billy?

Kyle: Then, I’ll just have to help things along.

Diane: I’m not saying tucker is as zen as he claims to be. He’s still a snake. But now we have some leverage with that snake and maybe that’s why he’s giving up the war.

Traci: I suppose it’s possible.

Billy: Uh.

Jack: I don’t know.

Diane: We’re so used to being on guard with everything that tucker does or says or even thinks. We need a new perspective. Jack, we were just outside and you were saying how nice it was to be together and not worry about the world and all its problems. We just renewed our wedding vows. It is time for a fresh start. We shouldn’t waste our time or our lives waiting for tucker mccall to drop another shoe.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey. Hey. Um, I hope I’m not late. I couldn’t remember what time I said I was going to pick you up. That is because we didn’t set a time. Oh. Sorry. Why are you sorry? If we didn’t set a time, that means you’re not early or late. That’s a good point. Yes, you’re right. So, where are we headed? I thought that you were picking the place.

Well, I thought you were picking the place. Okay, well maybe your mom has a good recommendation or something? Well, I’m sure she would, but she’s not here. I haven’t seen her since this morning. Oh. So you’re saying that we’re… Uh, you and I are here alone. Yep. Okay then. I think I might have just solved our dilemma of what we should do tonight.

What can I do? I mean, after I got kicked out of school, my parents hopped on a plane and dragged me back to Salem, so I’m stuck here now. Yeah, yeah. Hey, hey man, I gotta call you back. Hey, you dropped something. Oh my god, I can’t believe I almost lost that. You’re a serious lifesaver.

Like I said, I, my mom was just pressuring me to tell her how serious we were. And all I was saying when you walked in was that I could someday see myself getting married to you. But it’s not like I was dropping any hints about wanting to get married now. Okay. Good. I just don’t think that we have to rush anything.

I mean, I like the way things are. Don’t you? Absolutely. Okay. So, um, I have to go pick up the kids from Doug and Julie’s. I should probably get going.

I’ll see you in a little bit. Sounds good. Okay.

Look, Teresa, I’m just getting settled in here, as you can see. You have to eat, don’t you? Yeah, but I was planning on a working dinner. You’re turning me down for work? Oof. Wow. Maybe it was pity, sex, and grease then after

all.

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

Now, how many people can say that they are dating their husband? I mean, wait, I know, married people are always talking about planning dates. night or whatever, but this is just different. This is really dating, you know, the kind where you kiss good night, not the end of it. You go your separate ways, which I am so hoping.

Oh, that is not the case tonight. Oh, OK. So Abe. It’s definitely coming to your place, right? Yeah, he is. And Kate, I’m so damn nervous. What if I put my foot in it and make the man not want to remember I’m his wife? There’s no way that is not going to happen, okay? Ava’s lost his memory, hasn’t lost his mind.

Why would he not want to remember that he is married to one of the most charismatic, fascinating women in all of Salem? Oh, well, Kate, oh, hey. You do wonders for my ego and it’s very much appreciated. Especially tonight. Oh, oh, you know what, huh? Oh, I better, I better get started. I better go home. I better start cooking.

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Wish me luck. You don’t need luck, okay? All you need is your awesome self. And you need to let that man know how lucky he was and is going to be sharing a life with an extraordinary woman like you. Oh, okay. I will! And thank you, thank you for the very effective… Oh, my pleasure. Okay, now you need to get going and get ready.

Okay. Yes! I’ve got this.

Abe? Hello? I, uh, I hope I’m not interrupting. I know you don’t remember me, but I’m really glad we ran into each other because I’ve been meaning to come and see you. I know who you are. You’re Nicole Walker. That’s right. And you have a daughter named Holly. Oh my god. I can’t believe this. You have your memory back.

Thank you, thank you. If I’d lost this… Oh my god, I owe you. Big time. Hey, hey, no worries. I’m, um, I’m Tate, by the way. Holly. Did you go to Salem High? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you before. Yeah, I used to live around here, but I moved away a long time ago. But now you’re back? For a while, yeah. You don’t sound too happy about it.

Yeah, yeah, I wasn’t at first, but um… Hey, maybe it won’t be so bad.

So what brought you back here? Did one of your parents get transferred or work or something? Actually, no. I got in some, uh, trouble at school, so my parents brought me back to straighten my life out. See, according to my dad, I’m way too much like my mom,

Theresa. Mm-hmm. . I told you that was not pity sex at all. Hey. I wanted to be with you, and I promise you we will have that first date, but tonight I really do have work to do.

Okay, fine. A multi billion dollar corporation is more important than a night out with me. Mmm, I promise you we will have that date. Oh, really? Really. Can I get that in writing? You don’t believe me? No, it’s… Well, maybe you’re saying no because you think maybe I’m just after your money. Hey.

Mama! Hey, Paulina, how’s it, uh, how’s it going? Oh, hey there! Well, uh, oh, well, no need to be embarrassed. Well, I’m happy to see you two back together again. Yeah, well, you, uh, You frisky kids, you’re gonna have to take that someplace else. Oh, really? And, uh, why’s that? Because mama’s got a date tonight. Okay. Abe, I don’t know how you’re just sitting here reading your tablet when you should be dancing in the streets.

You have your memory back. Everyone’s been waiting for this day. Nicole, I think you’re getting ahead of yourself. What? I’m sorry. I don’t remember you. I, I, I don’t remember any of my life before I woke up in the hospital. But you, you knew my name, and my daughter’s name. Well, that’s, that’s because of my education.

Education? Yeah, see, uh, uh, When I moved in with Steve and Kayla, Kayla started showing me photographs of people from my past. And, uh, well she told me about, about who they are. And things pertaining to, to their lives. Oh. Yeah, I guess, uh.

I guess I did get a little ahead of myself.

So, What else do you know about me?

Well, Let’s see, uh, Nicole, Nicole Walker, um,

You and I were friends, right?

Actually, we were more than that. You’ve been like a father to me, and I’ve missed you. Very much.

Why would I suddenly think you’re after my money? Because I know my reputation. I mean, you would be a silly little fool for it not to have crossed your mind. So are you trying to get me to not trust you? No. I’m just trying to get it out in the open to remind you, okay, that we had talked about going out before I knew about your…

Inheritance, and that I had absolutely no idea that you were Victor Kiriakis son the night that we slept together. Yeah?

Well, you didn’t have to remind me. Luckily, I happen to be secure enough in my incredible animal magnetism and charm that it didn’t even occur to me that you could actually be gold digging. Ha! Okay, great. Now that that’s out of the way, you have no excuse to blow me off. Well, uh, other than my actual excuse of having to work.

Oh, come on. It’s after hours. You’re gonna work. You need to relax. You need to enjoy a little bit. You can work tomorrow. Tomorrow’s another day. So you’re just gonna be inventing every reason to put me on the spot, huh? Have I worn you down yet?

I don’t know. Wait, wait, wait. So, the sprinklers went off over the entire school? Yeah, like a downpour in every classroom, every dorm room, and in every office, too. Yaaay. Yeah, yeah. What did you think was gonna happen when you pulled that alarm? I don’t know. I thought maybe we’d get a nice little fire drill, everybody gets to go outside for a while.

And, uh, The physics exam that nobody studied for gets postponed. Hmm, you thought you’d be a hero. Yeah, yeah, well the uh, the headmaster had a different take on the situation. Fifty thousand dollars in damages later. So now my parents are trying to get me a job dishwashing to pay back all the damage that I caused.

Which is, which is good news because it should only take me… I don’t know, 20 years or so. Yeah, right. Well, hey, maybe it’s lucky for you that I did drop my bag. Yeah? Why’s that? Because, seems to me, like you need to light up and forget your troubles. Hmm? So

my son, Brandon, is My half brother. And Faye was our mother. Faye. Yeah, you loved her very much. In fact, that’s how you and I connected. Babe, you are so wise and kind. And you were the person that I turned to when I felt lost. You never judged me. And you were always there for me. Wow. I hope I get my memory back soon, because you just seem like a very special person.

Oh, hmm. Very flawed person, actually. I’ve been known to make some bad choices, to put it mildly. Well, welcome to the human race. You see, that’s exactly what my dear friend Abe Carver would have said to me back in the day. Finally. I wish I could be that guy for you again. You are that guy. And hopefully after my baby is born in a few months, you will be a big part of her or his life.

Well, you know Holly must be excited about having a little brother or sister on the way. Mmm, I don’t know about that. Holly’s a teenager and she’s excited about… Whatever teenage girls are excited about. Boys. Oh, I suppose. I hope not. Because I am not ready for that yet.

Um, am I, am I keeping you? Uh, you know, I have somewhere I have to be soon. But I am a little nervous, actually. Where do you have to be? I have a date. With my wife. Paulina Price and I are having dinner tonight. So, what’s

the plan? The plan is a lovely, quiet, home cooked dinner. Oh, nice. Oh, I have to preheat the oven. Oh, you know, I’m not sure how I look. Uh, you know, uh, what do you think? How do I look in this dress? Uh, should I, should I wear slacks on or something more casual? What you’re wearing is perfect. And Mama, Try not to be so nervous, okay?

You and Abe, you’ve been out a few times. And you’ve had fun, right? Yes, yes, yes, but uh, tonight is different because we’re not meeting in a restaurant. My lovely dear Abraham, he’s coming here to the place that we once shared. The place where he left, because it was just too much for him and if it, well, if it still is, I’m just worried that I might push him away for good.

Yes, Mom, Chad and I finally talked about what he walked in on the other night. It turns out he’s not interested in getting married any time soon.

No, of course not. I told him that I was totally on the same page.

Yes, I was lying, but what else am I supposed to say? I don’t want to come across as desperate. Hang on, I gotta go. He’s coming back.

Hey! Where are the kids? Ah, well, they, um, they begged me to stay at Doug and Julie’s for the night, so. It’s just gonna be the two of us for dinner. Oh. Well, um, you wanna order in? You know, I was thinking maybe we should go out. Bistro. That sounds great. I’ll, uh, I’ll just grab my purse and you call for a table.

Okay. Hey, Steph. Um, I was thinking about our conversation. Which conversation? About marriage. Oh. Uh huh. And I just, I, I, I don’t want things to be weird. I want to make sure that we’re good. We’re good. Like I said, I don’t want to rush into anything either. Are you sure? Positive. Okay. Alright. Then let’s hit the bistro.

Beautiful, thank you. Alright, got us a res at the bistro. Don’t you have like a little assistant who can do that for you? You know, call up the bistro and say, Hi, Mr. Kriakis is coming in. I’d like a very special table for a very special friend. Maybe next time. Oh, so you’re committing to a second date? I am down with that.

Even though I’m not exactly sure of one thing. Uh oh, what’s that? Well, I know we got the whole gold digging thing cleared up, but…

But…

You’re not using me to make Brady jealous, are you? Okay, okay. I’m gonna tell this to you like this. Brady and I just picked up our son from California because he got kicked out of school. Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Yeah, and of course Brady blames me because Brady’s Brady and I’m me. And if you had flown with us on the plane all the way over here, you would not be questioning my feelings for that man.

Okay. So you got in a fight about your kid? We got in a fight about everything. I’m surprised the Air Marshal didn’t arrest us. What the hell did they do to get poked out of school? I don’t know. According to him, it was some prank gone wrong. Played by the victim of overbearing parents and intolerant school administrators.

Sounds like my kind of kid. Sorry, I’m kidding. Um, where is he now? He’s with Brady. Hopefully Salem will be good for him. And all the drama will be in the past.

Where’d you get that? Maybe you haven’t followed the news, but weed is legal in this state. Yeah, weed is legal in California too, but it doesn’t mean they let teenagers into dispensaries to buy it. Are you gonna read me the local bylaws or? Do you want to get high?

I, um, could stand to chill out a bit. Me too.

Hang on.

There is a cop right over there. Okay, so maybe this wasn’t such a good idea. No, it’s just an idea we save for later. Do you want to hang out sometime? You and me? Sure. Put your number in.

Hi, it’s Tate. Now I’ve got mine. Tate. Holly. Cop’s still there.

It’s too bad. I still owe you for finding my bag. You’ll have plenty of time to make it up to me. Yeah, well, thanks again. You’re welcome.

Oh. Huh. What are you doing?

So you’re nervous about going back to your old place? Yes. You know, I, I lived there before I moved in with Steven Kayla Johnson, and I had to face the weight of Paulina’s expectations. And now I’m concerned that if I’m. I’m alone there with her. Well, once again, uh, those expectations might rise to the surface.

Abe, I’m sure Paulina isn’t gonna pressure you. Have you met the woman?

Okay, uh, historically, I used to come to you with the problems and you would dish out the sage advice. So I will, uh, I’ll give it a try. I use all the dice I can get, so… What do you say? Just go with the flow. Live in the moment and don’t get caught up in the expectations. Because there are worse things than having a wonderful woman madly in love with you.

You know, I may not remember you, but I’m starting to understand why we were so close. I’m glad we had this time together. Me too. And you mind if I give you a hug? Oh, not at all. Okay. Oh.

Good luck Eve. And I hope to talk to you again soon. Oh, you will, for sure. For sure. Oh, yes. Thank you. Okay. Bye

now.

So, you’re going to do the carrots and not the asparagus with the lamb? You sure about that? Look, Chanel, your mom has got this, okay? It’s our job to stay out of her way. Thank you, Johnny. Have a good time. Mm hmm.

What? What is it, baby girl? Uh, Mama, try to remember that. Abe’s memory, it may be spotty or whatever, but… His heart is the same, and somewhere deep down his love for you is still there. It’s just waiting to resurface again. And when it does, it is going to be just as strong as it was before. Maybe even stronger.

Oh, Chanel. You know, sometimes you drive me crazy. Sometimes, you sure know the right thing to say. Well, you know, I know it’s gonna work out. Because… Just look at Chanel and me. And we found our way back to each other. Because it was meant to be. Same as you and Abe. Oh. Come here, you two! Oh! You might need to come back over here and repeat that same speech to Abram.

Let me know. Okay, now get, okay. I’ve got a date and I’ve got you prepared for. Okay, okay. Go on.

So, Ava’s seeing Pauline. She’s like, yes! And it’s a pretty big deal. Because they won’t be on neutral territory like they were for their previous days. So obviously that could lead to something other than, you know, a goodnight kiss. Well, we can only hope. She’s so excited. She really is, but she’s very nervous too.

But that’s understandable. You know, knowing Pauline as I do, she is so full of fun, she’s so vibrant, and even if Abe doesn’t get his memory back, I think he might fall in love with her all over again. Oh, yeah. Well, and speaking of love, I, I talked to Chad. Yeah, he was talking about his feelings for Stephanie.

I understand they’re very happy together. Yes, yes, they are. They are. I just hope that that continues.

Teresa! Hey, Cuts! Hi! I didn’t know you were still in Salem. I guess you meant it when you said you were sticking around. Yeah, well, things have changed. A little. What? What’s going on? It’s a long story, but Tate’s in town, too. Oh, really? Is he here with you tonight? No, he’s with Brady. Oh, well, you shouldn’t have to eat alone.

Why don’t you, why don’t you join us? Oh, I’m actually, um, I’m expecting someone. He’s just parking the car. Oh, there he is.

Chad. Steph. Good to see you guys. You too. This guy was going to spend the night working, but I wore him down. So now he’s having dinner with me. Well, that’s great. I’m going to use the ladies. You want to come with me? I’ll tell you about Tate. Sure. I’ll be right back.

So, um, Stephanie filled me in on everything going on with you and your family. Uh, you okay? Yeah, yeah, I mean it hasn’t fully sunk all the way in yet, but um, I’m rolling with it. Your dad is not really my biological dad. Didn’t see that coming. Well, I’m, I mean, for what it’s worth, you know, I, I, um, I went through something pretty similar when I found out Stefano was my father.

Um, I’m probably one of the few people who actually knows what you’re going through. Yeah, well, I guess so. So I guess, I’m just, what I’m saying is, I know we’ve had our issues. You know, but I’m here if, hey, if you want help or whatever. I appreciate it, man. Thank you, Chad, seriously. Yeah.

So, um, Teresa. Yeah, she just had to uproot her son, drag him to Salem. So I guess we’re all just dealing with the fact that our lives are being turned upside down.

Oh my God. Oh my God. I am so sorry. We were just, we were talking about hanging out and we were standing really close to each other. I just thought, don’t, don’t worry about it. I feel bad. I feel like a jerk. I just, I didn’t mean to. Tate, it’s fine. Really. Look, I’m cool with being friends. Okay. But I’m kind of in love with somebody already.

Oh. Oh, oh, so you’re with someone. Actually, we haven’t gone out or anything, but I’m pretty sure he likes me too. At least I hope so. Hey, that’s great. That’s great. Good for you. Yeah. So, friends? Uh, yeah, friends. I mean, I don’t have any other friends in this town, so. Well, we’ll hang out soon, and it’ll be fun.

Not awkward at all. I promise. Yeah. So, uh, have you, have you known this guy a long time? Pretty much forever.

Okay, let me see if I can find this movie. Please tell me it is not another foreign film with weird dream sequences and subtitles. No, no. In fact, tonight we are going to be watching a brilliant piece of world cinema called… Clueless. Oh, wait, wait. Clueless? Clueless. I love that movie. But isn’t that a little too normal for you?

Oh, come on. I’m not a movie snob. Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, awesome 90’s soundtrack. Okay, now you’re speaking my language. I’m gonna go get some popcorn started.

Okay. Is something wrong? It’s, it’s gonna go okay for a moment. Right? No. It’s gonna go great.

Olena, girl, who are you so anxious about? This is, this is just your husband. This is your incredible, loving husband. Oh!

Abraham. Hello, Pauline. Um, you look, you look beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. You, you look pretty great yourself. Come here. Oh, come here. Come here. Oh, I’ll take that. Ah. Hmm. Well this, oh, well this, this was an excellent choice. Oh yeah, that was recommended by the man in the store. Ah, well, you know, this stuff, uh huh.

Uh, yeah, I am, um, Oh, I was just so looking forward to tonight. Oh, me too, me too. Oh, something just smells delicious. Lamb chops. You were always very partial to them, so I thought, you know, I thought that it might bring back… Oh, well, you know, you always liked them, so there’s a good chance that you’ll like them again.

I better decant the wine. Oh, you know what, uh, let me do it. Let me do it.

What? How did you know where that was?

Well, I

wasn’t even thinking. I just wanted to decanter and believe it was just a guess. You bought that decanter after we were married. Did I? Mm hmm. We could decide where to put it. Then you decided that we should keep it there. I’m sorry, I… I don’t remember. Oh, well. I’m taking it as a sign. And with more good things to come.

You know, uh, I’ll decant the wine.

I know your father doesn’t have his memory back, but sitting with him, ah, just, it was like old times. Yeah, me too, Brandon. I love you. Alright.

Tate? Yeah? Oh, it’s, it’s me, Nicole. Cool. Oh, oh, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I remember. Sorry, it took me a second. Yeah, no, it’s okay. It’s, it’s, it’s been a while. I only recognized you because I’ve seen so many pictures, you know, that your parents post. Right, yeah. I, I didn’t know you were in town. Yeah, it wasn’t really a planned thing.

Um, I was kind of forced to come back, but… Oh, so you’re not happy about it. Did something happen in California? Long story, I’m sure my dad will tell you all about it. Okay, well I’m glad to see you. I know it’s not easy moving and leaving all your friends behind. Yeah, yeah, but uh, I did just meet this nice girl in the park, so…

Oh, well that was fast. Yeah, but I um, I thought that… What? Never mind, never mind, I just feel really stupid. Uh, but you don’t need to hear about it, so… Oh, T, come on. Why did you feel stupid? Because, I kinda, I kinda thought she was into me. But, uh, she shot me down pretty quick. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, yeah, turns out she’s, uh, she’s into somebody else, so.

New lease on life, thanks to surgery at the hospital for sick…

Johnny! Hi! Holly, hey! Whatcha doin Uh, just actually getting ready to watch a movie. Hmm. Yeah. Shoulda known since you’re such a movie expert. I don’t know if I would say that I’m an expert, but I’m a big fan of them. The good ones. Right. Well, I’m a fan too, I just don’t really know much about them. Oh, man, I’ve got…

A ton of books about movies. You can borrow one whenever you want. Thanks. Yeah. That’s really nice of you.

So, what are you watching tonight? Um, tonight, we are actually Wait a second, shall you try this? I have been working on this new blend of salt and spices. Hey, look who’s joining us. Holly, you remember Chanel, right? Are you guys, like, back together? We are. That’s great. I’m really happy for you. Thank you. So, Alex and Teresa, huh?

I’m not surprised. I mean, Alex was her type even before he came into the Kiriakis fortune. So now… Huh. Hope it works out. I guess one thing about Theresa, she’s motivated. I wouldn’t wanna be in her way. Thank you. What? For? Convincing me to come out. I mean, harassing you until you came? Mm-hmm. Yes. Yes. That, and I’m glad you did.

To be honest, it feels like the earth hasn’t really stopped moving from underneath my feet. It just feels easy to kind of bury myself in the work. Well, like I said, work can wait. You needed to get out. Have some fun. I did. Truly. So thank you again.

To working so hard for this. Cheers. Cheers.

[ Dramatic music ]

Hope: What is it, finn? What is wrong?

Deacon: I told you I wanted to talk to you about your mom.

Finn: You and deacon are–

Sheila: Are in love. I know, it’s hard to believe, but we– we couldn’t be happier.

Hope: Finn, if there is something that you need to tell me, please, just say it.

Sheila: Yeah, it’s not gonna be easy telling people about us. You have got to be thinking about hope.

Deacon: Yeah, of course I am. I mean, hope’s gonna be surprised, no doubt.

Sheila: Oh, “surprised.”

Deacon: Okay, maybe that wasn’t exactly the right choices of words.

Sheila: She’s gonna be shocked to find out that we’re in love, and it’s gonna be even worse when she finds out you’re going to be my husband. You could really lose hope, deacon. Is it gonna be worth it?

Rj: You know, the longer this mystery goes on, the more I’m intrigued by you? Starting to make up stories, you know, about your past, et cetera.

Luna: Oh, wow, you think about me that much?

Rj: Maybe. Maybe. First theory: You are a princess in hiding and you’re slumming here at forrester?

Luna: Hardly.

Rj: Hardly? Okay. Second theory.

Luna: Mm-hmm.

Rj: International spy. No? Poker face? Nothing? All right. Okay. Hey, whatever it is, you’re a beautiful mystery and I can’t wait to find out more about you.

Rj: I’m just saying, I don’t know anything about you. You know a pretty big secret about me.

Luna: Yeah, one that I’ll never share.

Rj: I know, and I’m saying that if you don’t want me to share something that you tell me with anybody, I’ll never share it. You can trust me, okay? I promise.

Carter: Oh, sorry to interrupt.

Luna: Oh, no, I think the coo is allowed to interrupt whenever he wants to.

Carter: And the coo has been looking over the numbers, which is why I want to talk to rj about the lace you and eric ordered from paris.

Rj: That sounds really ominous.

Carter: Sounds like you not only inherited eric’s design talent, but his very expensive taste as well.

Rj: Well, come on, carter. I mean, you know that forrester creations only deserves the best.

Carter: That’s very true. If you haven’t noticed, this guy is very talented.

Luna: Yeah.

Deacon: Sheila, we’ve been through this before. I know that our relationship is gonna blow up people’s minds, but I want a life with you.

Sheila: I just– I know what your daughter means to you and how hard you’ve worked at a relationship with her, deacon. I don’t want you resenting me if she doesn’t see this– us the way that you do.

Deacon: Listen to me. Hope has the biggest heart of anyone I know. She’s seen how I’ve changed. You know, she’s given me another chance to be the father that i wasn’t when she was little. Yeah, she’s not gonna be happy, no doubt, and this is… this is gonna take some time, but I know that eventually, she’s gonna come around. She’s gonna see how much I love you, and with time, she’s gonna accept our relationship.

Hope: Clearly, there is something upsetting you, finn, so what is going on?

Finn: Yeah, you know what? I’m sorry. It’s– I’m really– I’m fine. It’s nothing.

Hope: Okay, well, what is nothing? Because clearly, it is something.

Finn: Yeah, I shouldn’t have brought it up.

Hope: Brought up what? Finn, please, just tell me. What is going on? 1 down, 9 to go.

Rj: Thank you for the vote of confidence, carter, seriously. I’m still learning a lot from my granddad, you know.

Carter: I’m sure you are, but I think we can all agree that you have a gift.

Rj: Well, I mean, we’ll still see if you believe that when I tell you that we’re gonna keep the lace, and that you’re gonna need to pay that invoice?

Carter: You know, your dad, your grandfather, you, you guys are all killing me.

Rj: I’m sorry.

Carter: All right, let’s go over this order. I need a confirmation. Sorry to pull him away.

Rj: No problem. I’ll be back, okay?

Luna: Mm-hmm.

[ Phone ringing ]

Sheila: Do you really think that hope’s gonna be able to accept me? That it’s not just wishful thinking?

Deacon: No, ’cause I don’t make passing wishes on some random stars. You know what I do? I get things done. I go to work. We both do, and we’re gonna work for this. And I’ll tell you another thing. You and me, we’ve beat the odds before and we’re gonna do it this time.

Sheila: I just don’t want to come between you and your daughter.

Deacon: You won’T. I know you’re concerned, okay? You’ve got to trust me on this. When the time is right, I’m gonna tell hope. She trusts me, sheila.

Sheila: Yeah, well, yes, that’s my point.

Deacon: Listen, she loves me. She wants me to be happy. She’s gonna see how much I love you and she’s gonna see that we’re good for each other. And eventually, she’s gonna– she’s gonna accept that– that I made the right decision.

Sheila: God, I love you.

Hope: You know it’s a two-way street, right? I mean, you’ve been a good friend to me, but you can also talk to me about anything.

Finn: Yeah, no, I know. I just– you know, I hate that you’ve been hurt so much, hope, and you deserve to be happy.

Hope: Oh, oh, okay, sure, yeah, so you decided to come all the way here to make sure that I’m happy?

Finn: Yeah, I just wanted to check in on you after our conversation about thomas.

Hope: Mm, right. Yeah, you’re a bad liar. But that’s not– that’s– that is a good thing.

Finn: Look, I think you should talk to your dad.

Hope: My dad?

Finn: Yeah. Maybe pay him a visit.

Hope: So, that’s it? That’s all you’re going to tell me?

Finn: Go talk to your father, hope.

[ Phone chiming ]

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Ringing continues ]

Luna: Hey, mom.

Poppy: Why haven’t you been answering my calls?

Luna: Oh, I– I’m sorry. I must have not heard my phone.

Poppy: Luna, I love you. I’m your mother and as your mother, I can tell when you’re avoiding me.

Luna: Mom, please, I’m busy. I’m working.

Poppy: At forrester.

Luna: Yes, mom. And, you know, it’s actually been going so well. I’m–

Poppy: Luna. You can’t be there. This has to end today. Remember the things you loved…

Luna: You make working at forrester sound like it’s such a bad thing. Mom, I can’t even begin to tell you how amazing everything is. I mean, the energy of this place… the dresses are so beautiful and I get to see them before they even go in the stores.

Poppy: Listen to yourself. This can’t happen and you know why. You’ll never make anything of yourself there.

Luna: No, you’re wrong, mom. I’ve actually been working with mr. Eric forrester himself and his grandson, rj.

Poppy: Luna, it is only a matter of time before it all comes crashing down. Baby, I’m just trying to protect you.

Luna: You don’t need to protect me. I’m fine, mom. And I’m so happy here, you have no idea.

Poppy: I never wanted you to go to los angeles at all, I mean, let alone end up at forrester creations.

Luna: Mom, please, this has always been my dream.

Poppy: Your dreams are gonna turn into nightmares and you know it. Please, luna. Your aunt li will never allow it.

Finn: The occupational therapist should be finishing her rounds soon and when she does, we’ll discuss a discharge plan. Okay. Thank you. Mom… what are you doing here?

Li: Uh, I came to talk to ridge about steffy and the kids, why they’ve been gone for so long. I thought maybe he can convince her since you haven’t had any luck. But what are you doing here?

Finn: I needed to talk to hope.

Li: Hope? Why?

Finn: I’m concerned about her.

Sheila: I don’t know. I just think we might be expecting too much too soon. We already told finn, and now you want to tell hope?

Deacon: Well yeah, but I mean, I reached out to finn on your behalf. I thought you’d like that. I mean, I thought we’d tell him together, and–

Sheila: I know, and I so appreciate that you would want to do that for me, but I thought we were gonna keep our relationship under wraps for a while.

Deacon: Sheila, we’re engaged. I mean, you know, people are gonna find out. We’re gonna have to tell ’em. I mean, unless, of course, you, you know, wanna live in the bathroom for the rest of your life.

Sheila: Only if you’re in there with me.

Deacon: I want you to listen to me. I believe in your redemption and I’m determined to get everyone else to realize it.

Sheila: Okay, these few days have just been shocking to me, but what really amazes me is– is the faith that you have in me. It just, it floors me. I don’t know what I did to deserve it, or you, but i promise you, I will never take it for granted.

[ Knocking at door ]

Hope: Dad, are you home?

Deacon: Wait a sec. Wait. Where are you going?

Sheila: I’m gonna go hide in the bathroom.

Deacon: No, not today.

[ Knocking ]

Hope: Dad.

Deacon: Listen to me. We’ll keep the engagement a secret for the time being. This is happening. Hope’s gonna find out about us, right here, right now.

[ Knocking ]

Sheila: What? Who says you can’t go for bold

Rj: Hey, I’m sorry. That took way longer than I expected, but that lace, it is– it is exactly what my granddad wants. It’s, uh– it’s handmade and… what going on?

Luna: Nothing.

Rj: No, you’re upset. What’s wrong?

Luna: Um, I had a call from my mom.

Rj: Is– is she okay? You know, you can just talk to me and I’ll just listen, okay? If– if you want me to help you, I’ll help you.

Luna: Um, my mom’s, uh, always been kind of, like, a free spirit, an artist, and she had me when she was really young, so it’s always just been the two of us. We sort of raised each other, kind of. She didn’t want me to come to los angeles, but I’ve always dreamed of being in fashion.

Rj: Well, you’re doing it. You’re here. Look at you. And you’re doing great!

Luna: Yeah, I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna be here.

Rj: Don’t you want to stay?

Luna: Yeah, more than anything.

Rj: That’s– that’s good. You know, ’cause I, um– I talked to my dad and– and my granddad the other day, and, you know, we really think you have, um, a bright future at forrester, you know?

Luna: You do?

Rj: Yeah, yeah, you know? You can tell when someone just clicks.

Luna: With the company?

Rj: Yeah, and in other ways. Look, you’ve been, um– you’ve been keeping this secret about my granddad and you know, I know you won’t tell anybody and–

Luna: Of course not.

Rj: Well, that means a lot to me, that I can trust you. You– you have no idea. You know, and it means a lot to the company, of course, but… luna, just stop thinking that this is gonna come to an end. It’s not. And I don’t want you going anywhere.

Li: You’re worried about hope?

Finn: Yeah, she’s got a lot going on in her life right now.

[ Li scoffing ]

Li: You know the history between steffy and hope, right? Do you want to risk doing something else to push your wife away?

Rj: See, now I’m holding you and now you can’t go anywhere.

Luna: Thank you, rj. You have no idea how good you are for me.

Rj: Luna, I feel the same exact way about you.

Luna: You do?

Rj: Yeah, yes, I do. I mean, come on, what guy wouldn’t want a super pretty, you know, international spy/princess in his life, obviously?

Luna: Um, I think you might be a little disappointed when you find out it’s just me.

Rj: Disappointed? In the mystery of luna? There’s not a chance.

[ Phone chiming ] Oh, shoot. Oh. There’s a problem on the loading dock again. I gotta go talk charlie off the ledge.

Luna: Okay, go! Thank you.

[ Luna sighing ]

Li: Luna? What are you doing here?

Hope: Dad, can I come in?

Deacon: Yeah, just a second, honey! Do you trust me?

Sheila: Deacon–

Deacon: Do you trust me?

Sheila: Yes, I trust you.

Deacon: Okay, give me a minute. Go on. Coming. Hey, this is a nice surprise. Come on in.

Hope: Hi, sorry I didn’t call early, but, um, finn just stopped by the office and he was being very cryptic and suggested that I come and see you, so here I am. So, what is going on, dad? Are you in some kind of trouble?

Deacon: No, no, honey, I’m– I’m fine. I’m– I’m better than fine. Hope, I’m in love.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: You’re– you’re in love? I mean, dad, you haven’t even told me that you were seeing someone.

Deacon: I know. I know. We’ve, uh– we’ve been keeping it on the down low.

Hope: Why?

Deacon: Because, you know, some people might not understand it or accept it, including you. And I need you to keep an open mind here, okay? To trust me. You know that I would never do anything to endanger you or your mother, or anyone.

Hope: Endanger us? What are you– who are you in love with?

Sheila: Hello, hope.

Deacon: Sheila and I are in love.

Hope: You and… you and sheila? No.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Oh, well, what are you so pleased about? Check this out. A warrant out for Vivian Allemane? Mm hmm. They got that psycho on possession of a deadly weapon and parole violation. Oh, that is great news. Now, if Vivian goes to jail, Maggie gets her house back. Oh, you haven’t heard. Victor actually had a new will.

Maggie tossed old Viv out the door yesterday. That is even better news. Yes. Yes. It is for Maggie, of course. And also, I cannot wait to ditch that rock hard mattress at the Salem Inn for good. Assuming that Maggie is still okay with Justin and me moving back in.

Come on, Maggie. Oh, Justin, how are you? Hanging in there. Hanging in there. Well, what can I do for you? Well, I was wondering, um, actually, Bonnie was wondering, now that Vivian is out of the picture, whether you might welcome us back into the family fold. Oh, Justin, of course. I mean, I’ve been so distracted.

Otherwise, I would have called you myself and urged you to come back. Especially since, uh, I’m gonna be glad for the company. You know, I’m gonna be spending more time at home now than I anticipated. What do you mean?

Wait, you’re out at Titan? What happened? Eh, you know, call it karma. Maybe taking too much pleasure in kicking Vivian to the curb. Because Alex did the same to me.

Vivian, I just got back to town and Chad told me all about your plans for Titan and I want absolutely nothing to do with them, so I am here in person to tell you that I quit.

Kate. Hey, may I come in? Yeah, of course. Draw me flowers? Um, actually those are flowers that you sent me to congratulate me on the birth of my grandchild, but I thought I would give them back and let you and Stephanie enjoy them. Oh, you didn’t like them? I think they’re beautiful, it just turns out that…

Victoria wasn’t really my grandchild.

Oh, hi, sweetie. I’m sorry that I had to get off the phone so quickly, but Kate was in quite a state. Well, she just found out that Philip is going to New York with Chloe. Yeah, well, she’s concerned, you can well imagine. No, I did try to talk her down, I’m just not sure how effective I was. Thanks. Say, speaking of offspring, is there any word from Brady since he left for California?

Welcome to Global Airlines. You only travel in style. Theresa, would you hurry up, please?

Pull your jets, I’m coming already, jeez. Hey, we’re in L. A. for two days. I mean, why would anybody need this much luggage? I don’t get it. Anyone? I’m not just anyone. I’m Teresa Donovan.

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

So, Victor did have a new will. Thank God. Oh, thank God. Thanks to the lawyers. Thank Judge Judy, whoever. Maggie gets to keep her house and her inheritance. Wow, that must have been a relief for the whole family. It was, um, although it came at a price. What’s that? It cost Justin his son.

Alex, what are you doing here? Well, according to the nameplate, this is my office. Your office? I guess you haven’t heard. I’m the new CEO of Titan. But don’t you work at Basic Black? And what about Vivian? Well, as it turns out, Uncle Vi Turns out Victor did have a will. He left half of everything to Maggie and half to me.

To you? And what about the rest of your family? I mean, I know Victor was your great uncle and he loved you, but… He wasn’t my great uncle. What?

Victor Kiriakis was my father.

I will talk to Alex. Justin, don’t. This isn’t right. He fired you? Oh, not exactly. Alex and I had a misunderstanding. You see, I just assumed that I would stay on as CEO, since Victor passed him over and gave me the job in the first place. Well, he didn’t see it that way because in his eyes, since Victor gave him controlling interest of the company, that meant he would get the top job.

That wasn’t Victor’s intent. If it was, he would have put it in writing. Oh, well, you know, it doesn’t matter. What do you mean it doesn’t matter? Alex told me the board was on his side. And even if they put it to a vote, that they would select him. He threatened you with a board vote. Well, it wasn’t really a threat.

He offered to let me stay on in a supporting role. But, you know, I decided I would just bow out gracefully. I’m so sorry, Maggie. Are you sure there’s nothing I can do? No, but thank you. Damn! I can’t believe Alex would do this. And I’m even more appalled that Victor would do this. Did you? To me, to all of us.

Should we, uh, get you a motorized cart? Maybe a Sherpa or something? I’m dying at first. I’m just looking for a place to get a coffee. Theresa, we’re on a three and a half hour flight. I think you ran the flight attendant about ten times. Do you still need some coffee? No, I think it was those salty pretzels or something.

Why are you in such a hurry anyway? I want to get home. That’s all. Uh, what about waiting for our son? I don’t know what’s keeping him because he just had a bag in the overhead bin, so I don’t know where he is. Sorry, I was, uh, talking to the flight attendant. You know, the blonde one? Kept offering us snacks.

Yeah, yeah, what were you trying to do, get her number, Tate? No, no, we were just talking, but she, she happens to be from Salem, so I was asking her what kind of fun things there are to do around here. Mm hmm, and then you got her number, right? Can you not? Can you not do this right now?

He gets it from you. Please proceed

to Sarah let Rex think the baby was his when she knew it was Anders all along? No, no, no. He knew from the start and he just gallantly volunteered to put his name on the birth certificate to protect Sarah and the baby. Okay, but did he have to marry her? No, of course he didn’t have to marry her. He wanted to.

He still has feelings for her? Well, clearly. Although he denies that’s the reason he made the grand gesture.

Okay, well, um, the truth is out. So now what? I don’t know. Now I am stuck with the daughter in law, I can’t stand, and Rex is in Xander Cook’s crosshairs. I’m sorry. That sounds messy. Yeah. Except now I know why Rex was keeping me at arm’s length. He just didn’t want me to get too close to a grandchild that wasn’t mine.

My God. All these years. All these years. How could Victor do that? How could he let Justin believe that Alex was his son? That is the burning question. I mean, come on, I get the whole truth will set you free thing and all, but it just would have been a whole hell of a lot easier if Victor had just taken the secret to his grave.

How’s Justin taking it? About how you’d expect. I think that Victor knew you would be a good father to Alex. A better father than he was capable of being. I certainly tried, but all of this would have been so much easier if the truth had come out 30 years ago. I know. I can’t even tell you, explain how this feels.

I mean, everything I thought I knew about my family, my relationship with Victor. My son? And why do it like this? After keeping it secret all these years? It just seems that spending time at Beau’s bedside changed Victor’s thinking. But all we have to go on is what he wrote in the new will. I mean, he left us so many questions.

Questions that we will never get the answers

to. Victor was your father? Yeah.

So, Justin is your… Cousin. And Sonny is not really my brother. Oh, Alex, of course he is. I mean, Vic and Joe are adopted. Did you ever think that they weren’t your real brothers? Yeah, but this is different. It doesn’t have to be. It does, though.

You know, Steph, I keep going over every single interaction I had with Uncle Vic. With my father. And I never would have guessed this in a million years.

So his will said that he wanted you to be CEO instead of Maggie? Not exactly. And that’s been a point of contention right now. Maggie said that if he wanted to put me in this position, then he would have done it while he was alive. Do you think that’s true? I don’t know.

I may never understand why he didn’t tell me. Why he waited until now to reveal the truth.

Maybe he thought all the money and the controlling interests of Titan would make up for all the lost years. Does it?

Sorry, stupid question. How, I, I can’t.

Nothing can make up for the fact that he lied to me. My whole

life. Jade. You’re 16 years old. So what? So what? That flight attendant was probably twice your age. There are, uh, laws, you know, covering this kind of stuff. Relax, okay? We just talked. And when I asked for her contact info, she shot me down. Extreme prejudice, I might add. Oh. Well, at least somebody’s thinking clearly.

I think you need to worry a little bit less about hitting on older women and maybe a little bit more on your future. Here we go. Yeah, yeah, here we go. Because I didn’t just bring you back to Salem for kicks, buddy. Okay, just because I got booted out of boarding school for bogus reasons. Bogus reasons? You, you, you pulled the fire alarm during exams.

Like I already explained, I didn’t think the alarm was going to cause all the sprinklers to go off and cause all that damage. No, you didn’t think at all. Well, that was good. Dad, that was serious. Did you, did you learn how to do that at the University of Fatherhood? The University of Fatherhood? Are you serious?

What is he talking about? We don’t need to go over this again, Brady. I think we do. Yeah. Obviously we do. Yeah, maybe we should go over it. Maybe we should go over some of the pranks that you pulled back in the day. Like, uh, kidnapping a goat and, uh, letting it loose in the halls. Well, from what I hear, your father wasn’t really much fun in school.

That’s wrong. I was a lot of fun in high school. And that goat, by the way, didn’t cause 50K in damage. I mean, they do eat a lot. Tate, the bottom line, this is not funny, alright? You did something really bad, you gotta pay for it. Aren’t you rich? I mean, not as rich as you were before you got kicked out of Great Grandad’s will, but still.

I’m not paying for this, buddy. You are. With what money, Dad? I’m 16, remember? Well, you’re gonna do a little something they call get a job. A job? Yeah, you’ve heard of them. Yeah, it’s a job. It’s like you do a task and people pay you for it. They give you a paycheck. Okay, he’s just a kid. He doesn’t have skills to…

He’s gonna learn. And I think I know exactly where he’s gonna do that.

So, I don’t care if Rex thinks I’m an overbearing and interfering mother. Ew. Never. Okay. The point is, I am not going to let Sarah Horton break his heart. Yeah, even if he did break hers first. I think you should stay out of it. Oh, that’s so funny. I don’t remember asking you for advice. I don’t care if you’re asking for it.

I’m giving it. You’re gonna make things worse. Who says? Says me. Someone who’s been through something very similar recently. What have I done to you recently? Surprisingly, nothing. Steven Kaler. Don’t tell me they don’t approve of you and Stephanie. Oh, quite the opposite. They cannot wait for us to get married.

What? Did they say that? Yeah, we were getting together for dinner and I walked in on Stephanie telling her mom, um, Of course I want to marry him. Do they know that you overheard that? Yeah. Yes, you know, she backtracked a bit and put it on her mom, and then Steve came in and basically asked what my intentions were.

Oh, thank God. That’s a lot of pressure. And, and, you know, I don’t, I don’t, I don’t know how to feel about it all because we haven’t been together that long. Okay, so this marriage idea, do you think that was Stephanie’s or Kayla and Steve’s? I don’t know. I don’t know. Did you talk about it? We danced around it a bit, and then, and then she had to go out of town for business.

Okay, so then it is possible she was just humoring her mom to keep her mom off her back. Yeah, I guess so. Okay, so let’s, let’s just forget about what Stephanie wants for a minute. Who do you want? Me. Mm hmm. You? Do you want to marry her?

I thought Vivian kicking us out of the house would be the worst thing that would happen after Victor’s death.

I know this is a shock and all, but… There may be some perks to the situation. You mean the job? The job. The money. The power. These are all things you’ve wanted, right? Sure. But not like this.

So I guess we’re not gonna be neighbors anymore. Why do you moving back into the mansion? Uh. I’m on the fence. Not really sure it would be all that fun for Maggie and I right now to… together. And if my dad and if Justin and Bonnie decide to move back into the house, that would be a little awkward, too.

Why? He’s still your dad, Alex. You two still love each other. Yeah. Well, I just don’t think I’d really be ready to live under the same roof with him right now.

Plus, if I move out of the apartment, I wouldn’t be able to use your shower anymore when mine craps off. I know you’d miss the hell out of that. Oh, desperately. Steph, if you still want to quit working for Titan, I totally understand. I don’t want to quit. Are you sure? We figured out our stuff. We’re friends, right?

I’d like to think so.

Alex, I’m really sorry you’re going through all of this.

I know that it hurts. You don’t have to act tough with me.

Thank you. But I’m not really feeling that tough right now.

Has Alex mentioned whether he wants to move back in? Not yet. I get the sense that he likes where he’s living now. To be honest, if Bonnie didn’t hate the Salem Inn, I’m not sure I’d be rushing to come back here either. Brings up a lot of complicated emotions, I’m sure. But, Justin, this is your family home.

Victor loved you. He would have wanted you here. And Alex is still your son, Justin. Nothing will ever change that.

Well, please, tell Justin that I’m thinking of him. And, and if there’s anything that Steve and I can do… Oh, thank you. I wish there were. But, the damage is already done.

God, look at Victor, still stirring the pot from beyond the grave. You can say that again. How’s Alex handling it? Well, he said all the right things to Justin, you know. That he’d always be his dad, etc, etc. But, knowing him, now that he’s the heir to the great Victor Kariakis, well… I’m afraid it might go to his head.

I imagine you’re right, , and now he’s a very rich, very eligible bachelor. I mean, not that he wasn’t already a hot commodity, didn’t judging by all the action he was getting, but now every single woman in town is gonna want to get their hooks in there. Know what I mean?

Oh,

I wish I was as sure as you, Maggie. That nothing will change between me and Alex. Justin, do you know the story of Mickey and our son, Mike? Oh, yeah. I’ve heard it. Yeah, I’ve heard about it. Well, let me refresh your memory. Many years ago, Mickey’s first wife, Laura, had an affair with his brother, Bill. Mickey wasn’t physically able to be a father.

So, when Laura became pregnant… Everyone knew it was Bill’s child. Everyone, except Mickey. Mickey raised Mike as his own for years. And then finally when the truth came out, it was difficult and was painful at first. But you know in the end… Nothing mattered. I mean, Mike, it was still and always was his son.

Biology, it didn’t matter. Go on, Iota. And it’s not going to matter with you, Justin. Because what matters is that you’ve raised Alex to be a fine young man. Some of the time. Justin, I understand that this feels… Like a, a, a terrible loss. Now trust me, you’re gonna get through it. I promise.

Let’s see if your Uncle Willem is around. Tate? Is that you? Hey Aunt Kayla, it’s good to see you. Oh my god, wow. It’s been so long. Are you on a break from school? Kinda. He was asked to leave. It was a mutual decision. He was kicked out. Thanks. Dad, do you want to post it on all your social media? I mean, I’m sure every stranger in this town would love to know.

Uh, Bonnie, Bonnie, do you know, uh, Brady’s son, Tate? Bonnie, Lockhart Kiriakis. I mean, father’s cousins. Um, we’re related. I think. Anyway, welcome back to Sam! Thanks. Just to make sure that you know, I got kicked out of school. Yeah, I heard.

Uh, and, and, uh, and this is, uh, my niece, Theresa, uh, Kimberly’s daughter, if you forgot. Hello, Bonnie. Hello. Theresa, always good to meet another Brady. So, as we’re roaming around, I wanted to talk to him about this one getting a job here. Ah, joining the family business, huh? Yeah, yeah, it’s news to me. Well, he caused a little damage at school before he left, so it’s time that he pays for it.

What am I even going to do around here? Wait tables or something? No, you’re not going to wait tables. You have to be 18 to wait tables, so you’re probably going to bust tables or you’re going to wash dishes. Wash dishes? Anything. That Roman says you’re going to do, you’re going to do. Well, I mean, at least you won’t be scaling the fish like I had to do when I was your age.

Is this really necessary? He’s going to be working till he’s 90 at the rate that Roman pays him. But he will work till he’s 90. Come on, he just moved to a new school in a new town. He can multitask, Teresa. Uh, well, you know, Roman actually is out. Okay, then I will text him. Can I at least get some lunch while we’re waiting?

Yeah, sure, sure, sure. Grab a menu. I should go. Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie, wait up. I did want to talk to you. It’s been on my mind and I’ve been a little distracted with what’s been going on lately. So, my grandfather’s briefcase. What was in it? The one the ISA recovered from the wreckage. Oh, uh…

As it turns out, uh, Victor did write a new will just before he died. To replace the one that he destroyed. Mm hmm. Um, okay. Is that it? For starters, uh, Vivian Alamein got exactly what she deserved. Absolutely nothing. Good. That is good news. Uh, and then, um, he, he left half of everything to Maggie. Even better.

So, so does that mean that the other half goes to the, uh, to the rest of the family? No. The other half went to the son no one knew he had.

Alex Kyriakis.

Sure, I’ll answer some questions. Yes, I am the

new CEO of Titan.

Yes, it turns out I am Victor’s son.

How do I feel about it?

No comment.

I mean, honestly, I, I, I never, I never really thought about marriage until I overheard them talking about it. Really? You’re living together, she’s helping you raise your children, right? Oh, now you’re starting to sound like Caleb. Oh, no. Don’t. Please, I am sorry, because I don’t want you to think that I’m trying to pressure you at all.

Okay? Especially because I know what a big step that was for you to think about getting serious about Stephanie in the first place. Yes, it was a, it was a huge step. And honestly, it’s still kind of strange living with somebody who isn’t Abby. And she’s only been gone for 16 months, and I thought I was gonna spend the rest of my life with that woman.

I know. I’m sorry. I really am. You have to take all the time you need.

Oh, hi. Hey. Am I interrupting something? Hey, welcome home.

Hey, thanks. Good to be home. Hi, Kate. Hey, Stephanie. And of course you’re not interrupting. Oh, never. Did you see these flowers? These beautiful flowers that Chad got for you? Ooh, beautiful. Anyway, I should be going. You… You have a great day. Hey. Bye. Thanks, Kate. Goodbye. Um, the flowers are amazing. What’s the occasion?

Okay, I gotta, um, I have to confess, actually, um, I bought them for Kate. But they’re yours now. I’m not offended by secondhand flowers.

I missed you like crazy. Same. You got my text? Yeah, did you uh, tell me when you quit? I stopped by Titan, but it didn’t exactly go as planned.

Thank you, Maggie, for that perspective. I’d forgotten that you lived through a similar experience. It wasn’t perfect, but in the end, Mickey and Mike… Well, it was a beautiful love story. And they were father and son in every way that counted. Just like you and Alex. But I know why you’re not sure about moving back in here.

It’s not that I don’t appreciate your offer. I know. But right now this family is hurting. Which means it’s so important. That we rally together. Please?

Oh, uh, hold on. Alex is Grandad’s son? Wait, wait, so does that change who he was to me? No. No, no, Tate. You’re, you’re good. See, um, Brady’s your dad. And his mother was, um, Somebody needs to make a family tree. You know? Oh, now I really gotta go. Okay. Uh, pleasure to meet y’all, alright? Listen, love to Justin, okay?

Thank you, honey. Okay. Love you. Bye. Gotta go. Kayla, I just need to get this straight in my head. My grandfather announced in his will that, that Alex was his son? No, no, but there was to Victor.

A letter? What kind of letter?

Oh!

Wow, I thought that that briefcase was going to have, like… On the net for prison students. Anyway, it seems like there’s a lot going on around here. Maybe we should focus on this whole job thing later. Yeah, yeah, nice try. Do you think that uh, Aunt Maggie is going to share her new fortune with the rest of the family?

You pay for the sprinklers. Nah, again, that’s a really nice try. Mom, can you talk to dad about this whole dishwashing thing? Um, you know, actually, uh, there’s something that I have to take care of myself. Seriously? You’re leaving? Right now? Yeah, but you, you should wait here for, for Uncle Roman. You don’t need to stick around, do you?

No, we’ll be, we’ll be fine. Oh, really? I assume that Tate will be staying with you at John and Marlene’s while I figure out my living situation. Theresa, I gotta run and buy them first, obviously. Bye, love you, love you. Bye, love you. Yeah, thanks, alright. Did she say her living situation? Like she’s staying in Salem?

Shh. We hadn’t really discussed it. Right. Well, Stephanie told me that Theresa did mention it. And, I mean, now that I’m here, why, why would she leave? I mean, like, where else would she want to be?

So I get to eat here for free, right? Like, whenever I want? No. Not exactly, no. So I have to scrub dishes AND pay? Hey, listen. Listen. This is not the way that I would have chosen for you to come live with me, alright? But I want you to understand something. I am actually very happy to see you, and I’m glad you’re here, buddy.

And, and, and Rachel, my god, she’s still looking forward to seeing her big bro. I, I can, I can drive you there. Let’s go. How’s she doing? Thanks for asking. I’ll tell you, I don’t really know how she’s doing because I don’t see a lot of her since Kristen got custody. So, I’m her way in, huh? No. Tate, no. No, no.

It’s cool. It’s cool. We don’t have a house. Really? Where are you going? Where are you going? I haven’t, I haven’t been to Salem in forever. I thought I’d, I don’t know, take a walk around the neighborhood. Unless I’m on lockdown or something. No, you’re not on lockdown. It’s fine. I just, I would like for you to see your Uncle Roman so we can talk to him about this.

You can just text him. You can just text him. I’m gonna go. I’ll see you later, though. Have a good night, Dad. Yeah. See you in a bit. Whoa, that was fast. Oh, yeah, I had the bags in my car. We all knew Maggie would see us. Home sweet home. Yeah. You know, um, I was thinking that, uh, Well, I was hoping that maybe Alex might move back in.

I mean, now that the house is 50 percent his, I’m sure he’d be a little uncomfortable. Yeah. Considering he just ousted Maggie to take over as CEO of Titan. What? Mm hmm. Oh, no, he didn’t. Oh, no. Yes, he did. Yeah, I thought maybe he might get a little big for his bitches. I just had no idea it would happen this fast.

Yeah, let’s just hope that he gets over himself soon, before anyone

else gets hurt. Hello, Alex. Teresa, you’re back. How’s Tate? He’s okay. With his dad. You know, the guy who humiliated me in Greece, if not for you, who welcomed me with open arms, would have made my trip a total disaster. Well, I’m glad I could be of service.

Speaking of Greece, I, um, heard what happened, you know, with your great uncle’s will. It’s wild, right? I mean… Look at me. Yeah, right, I know, look at you.

And obviously I had no idea that that bombshell was in that briefcase that my dad gave me. You must be, you must be so overwhelmed. Yeah, a little bit. Are you taking care of yourself? Are you eating? Are you sleeping? Are you having fun? I’m doing my best. I don’t believe you.

I will tell you what. I’m free for dinner tonight. And I have been told that I give really good fun.

What do you say? So Alex is Victor’s son? Apparently.

I’m surprised Kate didn’t say anything. She may not know yet. Yeah, she probably got too much going on with her own son to worry about Victor’s. So, is he running Titan again? Yep. You gonna report to him? Yep.

Hey, listen, I know, um, the other night there was some weirdness. Yeah, look, about that. Like, like I said, my mom was pressuring me to tell her how serious we were. All he was saying when he walked in was that I could see myself getting married to you. Someday. It’s not like I was dropping a hint that I wanted to get married to you now.

I mean, good. But I, I, I… I don’t think we need to rush anything. I mean, I like the way things are. Don’t you? Absolutely.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Nate: How does it feel to be back here?

Mamie: A lot of memories. Some of them, I will always cherish. Others… but today, we are here to celebrate.

Traci: Mamie! Oh, mamie. Hi. Hi, nate. I am so glad that you could be here today.

Mamie: So am I. Our jackie certainly looks happy.

Traci: Yes, he does. I think he has finally found what he’s been searching for.

Mamie: Well, if that’s true, then it is indeed a glorious day.

Jack: Could I have your attention, please?

Traci: Oh, excuse me.

Jack: Diane and I would like to thank you all for coming to this celebration of our recent marriage, but before the festivities really begin, we’d like to do something a little special, uh, with the help of our son. I love this woman so much, I wanna marry her all over again. Right here, right now, with all of you as witnesses.

Abby: Oh, yay!

[ Attendees clapping ]

Nikki: Oh, how fun.

[ Attendees clapping ]

Tucker: Hey.

Audra: You want me to, uh, reignite the fire with kyle? And then what? You can’t just send me a text like that without some explanation.

Tucker: I didn’t think I would need to provide detailed instructions on how to go about it.

Audra: I’m more curious about the why part.

Tucker: Just trust me.

Audra: Okay, that’s gonna be a little difficult without more intel, okay? And wherever this is going, I’m not sure I like it.

Tucker: You seemed to be liking it quite a bit when I walked in on the two of you a while back.

Audra: Oh, my god.

Tucker: How hard could it be to recapture that? And why wouldn’t you want to?

Audra: Okay, let’s forget for a second what would be in it for me because I know you couldn’t care less. What’s in it for you?

Jack: You ready?

Kyle: Oh, I’m a licensed professional of the internet variety. Are you ready?

Jack: You bet.

Diane: All right. Let’s do this.

Kyle: All right. Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of god and all of our family and friends and any wedding crashers to celebrate this couple, my parents, as they renew their vows. That’s your queue.

Jack: Oh. I feel so lucky, so blessed that we found our way back to each other. I never thought I could feel this kind of joy again. And it’s all because of you. I thank god for it every day. For you, for the way you love me. I promise to always be worthy of that love. I promise to be your partner in all things. Your friend, your confidant, your home. With all my heart, I love you. Now and always.

Diane: Jack, you are such a– a kind, patient, compassionate man. You’ve changed my life. I’m grateful every day for how much you love me and you don’t just– you don’t just say the words. You– you show me what it means to be a true partner in– in everything you do. So, I promise before god and everyone here that I will always be there for you. To love and support you, to– to comfort you. To fight for you. To be your home. Every day, every moment. As long as you will have me.

Kyle: You know, I– I can’t think of a better place for you to be making this commitment to each other. I mean, it’s our family home. A place that holds so many memories, so much love. So dad, do you take this woman to be your wife? Do you promise to love her and cherish her, and protect her, and stand by her side, no matter what life throws at you, from this day forward?

Jack: I do.

Kyle: And mom, do you take this man to be your husband? Do you promise to love him and cherish him, and protect him, and stand by his side, no matter what life throws at you, from this day forward?

Diane: I do.

Kyle: Well then. By the power vested in me and the internet, and the state of wisconsin, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the groom and vice versa.

[ Attendees cheering ]

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Audra: I’m guessing you want me to reconnect with kyle so I can use him. You expect me to manipulate him into doing something that benefits you.

Tucker: Not just me, us. We have a common goal, remember? Just do what I ask, we’ll all benefit.

Audra: I don’t like taking orders about my personal life.

Tucker: I’m not giving you orders. I’m encouraging you to follow your bliss.

Audra: Oh, my bliss? Yeah. Where does that lead me? Us?

Tucker: You know the plan.

Audra: Kyle was never part of the plan.

Tucker: Maybe kyle was always part of my plan.

Audra: Oh my god, this is infuriating.

Tucker: All shall be revealed in good time, my dear. Meanwhile, you help move things along. Have a little fun in the process. Hey, you keep your eye on the prize, jabot. We’re gonna take over that company and you are gonna step in and you are gonna run it. And I’m gonna be on the sidelines. I’m gonna cheer you on. I’m gonna advise you. Kyle, he’s just a tool, man. Don’t worry about kyle. He’s a means to an end. Unless of course, he means more to you than you let on.

Audra: It’s not kyle I’m worried about.

Tucker: What then?

Audra: You know this, it’s all starting to feel like a desperate act than a plan B. Which makes it all seem less and less likely you can actually pull this off.

Jack: Thank you, sharon.

Sharon: Congratulations.

Traci: Well, you look ridiculously happy.

Jack: I think I am ridiculously happy.

Traci: Congratulations.

Diane: Aw, thank you, traci.

Nikki: That’s traci abbott, jack’s sister.

Claire: The author.

Nikki: Mm-hmm.

Claire: She’s a fantastic writer.

Nikki: And an even better human being.

Mamie: Jack, what a wonderful surprise. An impromptu wedding?

Jack: Made all the more lovely by you being here.

Mamie: Why, you look quite dashing. Almost as handsome as his father.

Diane: Oh, I have to disagree. I think my husband is the most handsome man in the world.

Mamie: Oh, I can see that. And you, I can see that same twinkle in your eye that you used to have when you had to have things your way.

Jack: I can’t help it, mamie. I am on top of the world.

Mamie: May you both be as happy as you are now all the days that you’re together.

Nikki: That’s mamie johnson. She worked for the abbotts for years and became an integral part of the family. She recently acquired a stake in chancellor-winters, but not a lot of people were happy with that.

Nate: Jack, diane. Congratulations.

Jack: Thank you, nate.

Nate: I am honored to have been a part of this special occasion.

Diane: Oh, we’re happy you’re here.

Nikki: Nate hastings, son of mamie’s niece, olivia. He is currently the coo of newman enterprises.

Devon: Jack. Congratulations to both of you. If I’d have known there’s gonna be a wedding, I’d have come better prepared.

Jack: Well, that’s why we made it impromptu.

Diane: Yes, we wanted it to be simply about us and our happiness, and share it with all of you.

Devon: Oh, thank you.

Nikki: Devon winters, the winters half of chancellor-winters.

Nate: Jack is clearly thrilled you’re here today. After all, you were a surrogate mother to him and his sisters growing up.

Mamie: Well, it was hard on them when dina left.

Nate: Then you have us, your other family, all in the same place. How does that feel?

Mamie: Like I’ve been blessed with a really rich and fulfilling life and with the capacity to hold all of that love in my heart. I’m not feeling any tension, if that’s what you’re asking.

Nate: Maybe not about your personal relationship to those in attendance.

Mamie: I was wondering when you were gonna get around to asking me about my investment in chancellor-winters.

Nate: What is really going on with that?

Abby: This was such a beautiful idea. Congratulations, you guys.

Jack: Thank you. Thank you.

Diane: And thank you for being so supportive of our relationship, even though I know it puts you in a difficult position with your mother.

Abby: You make him happy. And that’s what I want, for both of you. I’m just sad that this whole blow-up between my mom and tucker kept her from being here.

Diane: Yeah, I’m happy things are better between jack and ashley, but I really doubt she would have come back to celebrate the two of us getting married. I think– I think the best I can hope for with her is that she’ll tolerate me.

Abby: Well, I hope that she proves you wrong, that she’s capable of more.

Jack: I hope so too.

Summer: Thank you.

Kyle: Okay. Hey, I just checked on harrison. His fever’s down, but he’s out like a light.

Summer: He was so excited about today. Poor thing. I mean, the tears when he realized that he was sick. Sleep is the best thing for him right now.

Kyle: Agreed. Well, this is going well.

Summer: Yeah, you are really getting the hang of this whole marrying people thing. I think it could turn into a solid side hustle for you.

Kyle: Yeah. The moonlighting minister. I’ll keep that in my back pocket. But it was nice to be involved in that way.

Summer: Yeah. They seem really happy, in love.

Kyle: They do.

Summer: Ah, I’ll check on harrison in a bit.

Kyle: Okay. Hey, you look great.

Summer: Thanks. You do too. Wayfair has nice prices, so you can have nice things.

Summer: So, when do you officially start as chief of police?

Chance: Tomorrow’s my first day. They want me to do a presser with the mayor.

Summer: Oh, okay. You’re gonna be doing a lot of that from now on. The face of the G.C.P.D.

Chance: That’s the worst part. I hate all the publicity. I just want to do the job.

Summer: But you’re excited.

Chance: Yeah, I am. I am. I wouldn’t let myself believe that this would happen. Now, it’s here. So, reality’s kicking in.

Summer: Paul wanted you to step in because he knew that you would be great at it.

Chance: I just keep asking myself if this is the right job for me.

Summer: Are you serious right now? You have literally been chasing bad guys your entire life. You’re a natural leader.

Chance: Well, if being a leader means sitting behind a desk and not being out in the field, doing what I was trained to do, I don’t know, summer. I told myself I would never let this happen. It’s got me wondering, second-guessing myself.

Summer: Could I offer an unsolicited opinion?

Chance: You know what? After dumping all that on you, sure, why not?

Summer: Hey, that’s what friends are for.

Chance: Okay. So, I– I owe you one now.

Summer: That’s not how it works, but, okay. Uh, good to know.

Chance: What’s your opinion?

Summer: I kind of like the idea of you doing less of the actual chasing the bad guys. I really wouldn’t want anything to happen to my new friend.

Nikki: Chance chancellor, decorated soldier. Former government agent.

Claire: Wow.

Nikki: Yeah, he is a genuine hero. Never had any interest in the family business.

Claire: And his girlfriend?

Nikki: Oh, that’s not his girlfriend. That’s my granddaughter, summer. Kyle’s wife. Well, estranged wife. Sadly, they have filed for divorce.

Claire: Well, that’S… I’m sorry.

Nikki: Well, they’ve had their ups and downs, but I still think there’s hope for them. It– it just can’t be the end.

Claire: Why mrs. Newman, you sound like a romantic.

Abby: Things are good?

Sharon: Yeah. Yes. Um, things are falling into place with the new business.

Abby: And you and chance?

Sharon: Um, we’re having a lot of fun together. I– I’m– I’m really excited for him, you know, in his new job. He starts tomorrow as chief of police.

Abby: Yeah. Yeah, that’s a huge deal.

Chance: Yeah, I know.

Sharon: Um, will you excuse me?

Abby: Sure.

Chance: I do what I can.

Sharon: Hi, summer.

Summer: Hi.

Sharon: Oh, this is so much fun.

Nikki: Well, that was a lovely little ceremony. Victor sends his regrets.

Diane: Mm. I didn’t expect him to make an appearance. I’m kind of surprised you did.

Nikki: I need to get used to the fact that you and jack are together. I’ve accepted it.

Diane: Yes. Your friendship is very important to him.

Nikki: It is just as important to me. If you do anything to hurt jack, I will make your life a living hell. And there are many others who will help me.

Diane: Well, that goes without saying and I’d expect nothing less. You know, I’m happy that there are so many people who are so concerned about jack’s well-being, but you don’t need to worry, nikki, because what you fear is not going to happen.

Nikki: I hope that’s true, for jack’s sake and yours.

Tucker: I’m hurt by your lack of faith in me.

Audra: I haven’t lost faith in you. I’m just kind of losing faith in your plan. It has a feel of a losing proposition.

Tucker: Why? Because I had a minor setback? That was out of my hands. Adam defied daddy and didn’t destroy the evidence.

Audra: No. No, he gave it to the abbotts. I’d say that’s one gigantic fly in the ointment or wrench in the works.

Tucker: Ah, I’m not worried.

Audra: Not even a little bit? You know, the abbotts now have information about a singer on your payroll whose crimes were covered up until his tour was finished. That’s information that could bury you. Okay, now, it’s in the hands of the very people you’re going against.

Tucker: Let’s not forget, you and I are inextricably linked in this, right? My problem is your problem.

Audra: Which is why I don’t want to go in any deeper.

Tucker: Now, don’t go all cowardly on me.

Audra: I’m not being a coward. I’m being smart. It’s time to cut your losses, okay? Just admit that adam got the better of you and just make a deal with the abbotts. Which yes, it means you’re gonna have to give up this scheme and leave them alone. But it also means they’re gonna leave you alone and me, your inextricably linked partner. (Announcer) an important message for americans age 50 to 85.

Tucker: Are you turning down my offer to run jabot?

Audra: You don’t own jabot.

Tucker: Not yet. It’s just a matter of time.

Audra: So you keep saying.

Tucker: I’m gonna make it happen, but I don’t need it, you do. We both know you’re hanging on by a thread at newman. Hell, I’m surprised you’ve lasted this long given what nikki feels about you.

Audra: Maybe I’m just that good.

[ Tucker scoffing ]

Tucker: Don’t forget, it’s the newmans. It’s not a meritocracy.

Audra: And I am a survivor.

Tucker: But you need allies right now. You have none. Nate’s looking after himself now that victor’s back in control. Can we stop this game now? You’re gonna do what I ask you to do. You know why?

Audra: Why?

Tucker: Because you’re a survivor. Because helping me helps you. All right? Now that you’ve got that out of your system, you need to go get ready for a garden party.

Audra: At the abbotts.

Tucker: Yeah. Think about it, audra. You and kyle in that incredibly romantic setting. It gives me the warm and fuzzies. Absolutely magical.

Audra: And, uh, what even makes you think they’re gonna let me in?

Tucker: You’re just that good.

Audra: The place is gonna be crawling with security. They’re not gonna let me near the celebration.

Tucker: You’re telling me you’ve lost your sense of adventure too? Audra, you can do this. Huh? Kyle, oof. You want to do it. Stop wasting time and go knock kyle off his feet.

Jack: Thank you for coming through for us today.

Diane: Yes. What you said was lovely.

Kyle: I meant it. I was so happy and I was thrilled to officiate, especially since I missed your first wedding.

Diane: So, I saw you talking to summer earlier. Things looked pleasant. That’s good.

Kyle: Mom, that was us co-parenting. I was just updating her on harrison.

Diane: Well, it’s nice to see the two of you getting along.

Kyle: Don’t read too much into it.

Mamie: You know, it’s one thing for jill to be suspicious of me. And I’ll admit, I rather enjoy it. But I hope that you and lily don’t really feel that way.

Devon: No. No, not at all. We don’T. You just– it caught us by surprise to find out that you were the one that bought victor’s stake in the company because you’ve kept it such a secret from us.

Nate: I think it’s a good thing mamie has a stake. I mean, weren’t you the one talking about how you wanted chancellor-winters to be a family business?

Devon: I used to want that. Yeah.

Nate: I just don’t see why you have a problem with it. Is it because you wanted control of the situation?

Devon: No, I don’t have a problem with it at all, actually. I think it’s fantastic. And I think it’s great you’re gonna be in town more often. ‘Cause lily and I can spend time with you. And my son will get to know his aunt mamie.

Mamie: And that’s the most important part of all of this for me. Family.

Nate: That is something I think we can all agree on.

Mamie: I am determined. I’m gonna help you get past all of this animosity. I’m gonna make sure that the two of you and lily come back together again. You know, life is short and this has gone on long enough.

Nate: I agree. I’m not just accomplished.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Traci: Kyle, will you?

Kyle: Oh, sure, sure.

Traci: Thank you. Everyone, jack, diane. Thank you so much for this inspired surprise. And kyle, thank you too, honey. Well done. Um, you were talking earlier about this house and how much love it holds and it brought back so many amazing memories and many of them were made with so many of you that are here this afternoon. And some of them with those who are no longer with us. And I, um, felt mother and daddy here all afternoon with us, for this very beautiful occasion. So here’s to you both and your incredible love. May it fill this house to overflowing. Cheers.

All: Cheers. Hear, hear.

Abby: My turn.

[ Abby laughing ] So, as I was listening to your beautiful vows, I was just looking at the both of you and thinking, you didn’t even have to say one word to each other. It was all there in your eyes. The way that you were looking at each other, how connected you are and just how much you love each other. And I am so happy for you both. Congratulations. Cheers.

All: Cheers.

Devon: That was really good.

Mamie: Diane and my dear jack. I’m not sure that I believe that people are destined to be together, but I do know that when love is real and strong, it will find its way. As has yours. I wish you many, many years of happiness.

All: Cheers.

Kyle: Anyone else?

Nikki: Yes. Sometimes, it takes more than one try to make it work. I know that from experience. But there is a reason why two people keep finding their way back to each other. It could be that one of them is trying to escape a mess they’ve gotten themselves into–

Jack: Nikki…

Nikki: I’m talking about love. The kind of love that defies logic. That perseveres in the face of great odds. And despite interference from well-meaning individuals. Jack, diane. My sincerest congratulations.

All: Cheers.

Jack: I’ll be right back.

Guard: He insists he was invited, but he’s not on the guest list.

Jack: You handled it just perfectly. Thank you very much. I’ll take it from here. Well, you’ve got a lot of gall.

Tucker: I– I know how this looks and I can understand why you might be mad.

Jack: I am not mad. I am disgusted, but I’ll be just fine after you leave.

>>Tucker: Could we could just pretend for the moment that we’re on good terms?

Billy: Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

Tucker: Hey, billy, I was just telling jack–

Jack: You know what? I want you to leave, now.

Billy: Jack, can I have the honors, please?

Tucker: Guys, please? Please, please, relax. I come in peace and bearing gifts or gift for the happy couple.

Kyle: No, audra, I don’t blame you for firing me. That’s what nikki ordered you to do. What choice did you have?

Audra: None at all. And what’s with this sudden edge I’m hearing in your voice? Okay, I’ve heard you direct that at other people, but never at me and frankly, I don’t appreciate it.

Kyle: I’m surprised, that’s all.

Audra: At what?

Kyle: At how quickly you were able to turn off your feelings. We went from your hotel suite to distant acquaintances in the blink of an eye.

Audra: Well, I mean, you talk like we had some sort of storybook romance.

Kyle: I thought it meant something.

Audra: Yes, it did. Two consenting adults who were attracted to each other. You know, we had fun. The sex was great and now, we move on with our lives.

Kyle: I see.

Audra: Don’t look so wounded. Your pride might have taken a hit, but your heart, it’s just fine. Look, we both know the truth here. You’re not the love of my life and I’m not the love of yours. That would be summer.

Kyle: Okay. How many times do I have to say it? It is over between me and summer. There’s no hope of us finding our way back to each other.

Audra: Well, if that’s true, you know, which I doubt. I’m very sorry for you.

Kyle: Don’t be.

Audra: Look, kyle. Look, I know that this, okay, was just about you trying to forget how much summer means to you. But if you dig deep and take a long, hard, honest look, I think you’ll discover that you miss her and you still love her. Much more than you’re willing to admit.

Nikki: Traci, this is claire grace, my new assistant at newman media.

Traci: Oh, claire. It’s very nice to meet you and congratulations on your new job.

Claire: Thank you. It’s so wonderful to meet you.

Nikki: Claire is a fan.

[ Traci laughing ]

Claire: Echoes of the past is one of my favorite books. I just– I love your work.

Traci: Oh, my gosh. That’s so sweet. Thank you. And we’re really glad that you could join us today.

Claire: Glad to be here.

Nate: Devon. So, aunt mamie was right. Life is too short. We’re family.

Devon: Yeah. And you know, it hurts a lot more when you get betrayed by your own family.

Nate: I apologize for what I did. I own my mistakes.

Devon: I know you did. And I– I forgive you. That doesn’t mean I have to forget, right?

Nate: Abby?

Abby: This is for the two of you to work out or not. I can’t tell devon how to feel about this.

Nate: Look, there’s gotta be some part of you that appreciates what aunt mamie’s trying to do. Wanting to bring the family together.

Devon: Yeah, she’s not talking about you and me fixing our personal issues. She just wants us to work together.

Nate: Her heart is in the right place. But I agree with you, that’s not gonna happen. I am happy where I am at newman.

Devon: Good.

Nate: And it’s not as if aunt mamie had the power to offer me a job if I did want to come over.

Devon: Yeah. I know.

Tucker: Please accept it.

Jack: I’m not interested in your gift.

Billy: Is it ticking, tucker? Because this is either a bomb or a joke?

Tucker: No, it’s just that I’ve been contemplating the situation I find myself in. And meditating about it and searching my heart, and all this–

Billy: This is nauseating, to be honest.

Jack: Please just leave.

Tucker: It’s exhausting. These feelings of– of anger and negativity, they’re really preventing me from letting go and moving on with my life.

Billy: Well, that’s very sweet, very sweet. Appreciate the catharsis. Can we move on?

Abby: Uncle jack.

Billy: Are you getting out town?

Tucker: Hello, son.

Devon: What are you doing here?

Tucker: I’m glad you asked. Even when I was with the people I love,

Mamie: I really want this to be all jack is hoping for.

Diane: Well, your blessing means the world to him.

Mamie: He’s like a son to me.

Diane: And he sure loves you.

Nate: Diane, you look radiant.

Diane: Oh, thank you.

Nate: This has been a wonderful afternoon. Aunt mamie, there is someone I’d like to introduce you to.

Mamie: Well, that will have to wait. I have to go and powder my nose. To be continued.

Diane: I look forward to it.

Nikki: I wasn’t expecting to see you here. I would have thought you had better judgment. Were you even invited?

Audra: By kyle. You know, I was surprised to get the invitation. You know, it seems you were right. He is having a hard time letting go.

Nikki: Well, you wouldn’t have come if you weren’t having a hard time letting go as well.

Audra: You’re right. I don’t want to. You know, I like being with kyle and if you can’t accept that, then we have a problem.

Tucker: I am here to apologize and make peace.

Devon: Well, I don’t think it’s the time or place to do that.

Tucker: I disagree. Uh, jack and diane are celebrating their marriage and the beginning of their new life together–

Jack: And your marriage just blew up.

Tucker: Yes. Yes. And I was filled with hurt and anger when I got back from paris, but I realized that was just causing me more hurt and anger and I don’t want to live that way. What can I do to prove to you that I’m sincere?

Billy: Why don’t you start by admitting you tried to frame me for embezzling money from my family company?

Tucker: Billy, I know nothing about that.

Jack: Then, we have nothing left to talk about. I’ll say one last time. Get the hell out of my house!

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS SOME EDITING!

Lucy: No, I do not have a comment on that either! Ohh! Why? Why are they so rude? They’re just rude. Why won’t they leave us alone?

Maxie: I don’t know.

Well, because there’s blood in the water. But we are not dead yet.

Lucy: W-we’re not. I mean, if we could just come up with a product as fantastic as the Deceptor, we’d be fine.

Maxie: Lucy, that could take months. Maybe even years. I mean, why won’t you just take Tracy’s deal?

Scott: Oh — bite your tongue there, Maxie. Lucy’s got a sliver of the ELQ pie. She’s got to hang onto that!

Maxie: Oh. Okay. Well, I hope that sliver of pie keeps Lucy fed when deception goes under… because after years of breaking our backs and building this company from the ground up, Sasha and I will ultimately end up with nothing!


Brook Lynn: I totally agree. Your venue is perfect. I can guarantee that blaze is gonna sell it out. I can even throw in an opening act for you if you want. I have to call you back.


Alexis: Here’s everything Molly was able to dig up on judge Albert Kim. And this is everything Diane was able to dig up, so we got a lot of work ahead of us.

Gregory: Good. I’m ready. Let’s nail this bastard.

Alexis: Aren’t you all fired up!

Gregory: Well, I’m trying to cultivate a good “go for it” attitude, hoping it translates to skydiving.

Alexis: So researching papers to skydiving. That’s quite a leap!

Gregory: Wow. Really?

Alexis: I know.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Chuckles ] Hi, there.

Finn: Hi. I’m — I’m really sorry to interrupt the fun, but I was wondering if I could steal my dad away for a cup of coffee.


Cyrus: What’s going on? Visiting hours are over. Why am I being brought here during off hours?

Guard: You’ll find out soon enough.

Ellen: I… thank you for bringing down Mr. Renault. You can leave us alone now.

Cyrus: Should I be worried?


Nina: Well, there he is. Hi, handsome.

Alright. I am set. I’m ready to get this wedding going. What about you?

Sonny: Just about.

Nina: What, are we waiting on something?

Sonny: Yes, we are.

Nina: Something for the wedding?

Sonny: You got to be patient. You got to wait a little while longer.

Nina: Well, Sonny, I am the bride, so shouldn’t I know what we are waiting on? And, besides, you said that the staff in Puerto Rico is handling everything.

Sonny: Yeah, but this is something that I could only get in port Charles, and the wedding would not be complete without it.

Nina: What is going on?

[ Both laugh ]

Who’s ready for a wedding?!

[ Nina gasps ] Ohh…

[ Sighs ]


Scott: Listen. I-I don’t want you to worry, okay? ‘Cause your attorney, Vance — top-notch. I’ve seen her in action. Okay? And, besides, you’re like a gladiator. You got your sword out ready to conquer.

Lucy: Thank you. I think. But listen, pal. You know what? We really could lose this case… or deception could go completely under financially before we even get to court. And like you said, I’m a gladiator. I-I’ll be fine. I will survive anything. It’s just Maxie. She is raising three little kids without any support — just her. So if I did take Tracy’s deal, at least Maxie would have a job.

Scott: Y-you can’t let Tracy put the screws to you because of Maxie.

Lucy: [ Sighs ] But I can’t do that to my very best friend in the whole world, not to her daughter and her grandchildren. Felicia — I can’t do that to Felicia. What am I saying? Maxie has become my very best friend in the whole world, too. And if I let her down, I couldn’t live with myself. So I don’t know. I-I just — I don’t feel like I can do it to Maxie, either!

Scott: Lucy, have you got your noggin screwed on straight? You can’t let go of the ELQ stock. It’s the tie-breaking vote!


Brook Lynn: Chase? What happened?

Chase: I got some pretty bad news at the hospital today. Okay. And it is the last thing I ever would have expected or imagined. Now I’m just… sitting here trying to make sense of it… trying to figure out the little things I missed. Brook Lynn, my dad is dying.

Brook Lynn: What?


Gregory: Son, listen. Alexis and I are in the middle of something. Instead of coffee, can we maybe grab dinner later upstairs at the metro court?

Finn: Actually, I was really hoping we could go now.

Alexis: You know what? We don’t need to do this now. Y-you go with your son. He needs you.

Gregory: Are you sure?

Finn: She seems pretty sure.

Alexis: I’m sure. I can — I can sort through it and organize it.

Gregory: Oh, I feel bad about leaving you with all this drudgery.

Alexis: Drudgery to you. Interesting to me. Because I’m gonna find a little nugget that will blow this whole story wide open. Go, go, go.

Gregory: Coffee it is.

Finn: Okay.

[ Mouthing words ]


Nina: I’m still in shock. I am so thrilled. I can’t believe you guys can make it on such short notice. I mean, it wouldn’t have been the same if you all weren’t here with me and Sonny.

Wiley and donna are settled in, playing. Melanie’s got enough books and games to keep them occupied for the rest of the flight.

Willow: They loved the takeoff. Wiley was glued to the window the entire time.

Nina: That’s so great. What about Avery? Wasn’t she able to come?

Pilar called. Avery’s got something wrong with her stomach. She’s sick, so she can’t come.

Nina: Oh, no. And I’m disappointed, but… oh, that’s — that’s so sad. Well, I hope she gets better soon.

Um, hey. When did you arrange for everyone to come? We just decided to do this ourselves.

Sonny: I made the rounds this morning, extended some invitations, you know.

Nina: I knew you were up to something when you left the penthouse.

And Dante sends his congratulations and best wishes.

Nina: Yeah, well, we will miss him and we will miss the family that couldn’t come, but I’m gonna focus in on the family that could. I’m thrilled that you’re here. This is the best wedding present I could ever ask for.


Alexis: Looks like Judge Kim doesn’t miss an opportunity for a high-profile case.

[ Telephone ringing ]

Alexis: Yep. Oh. Yeah. Send her in.

[ Knock on door ]

Alexis: Come on in! Hey. Hi. Carly. Hi. What brings you here?

Carly: Well, Sonny told me that he asked you to look into the judge who gave Drew that ridiculous sentence.

Alexis: Yeah, that’s all here. I’ve been researching that for most of the day.

Carly: Great. Full disclosure — I’m the one who asked Sonny to reach out to you. I also asked Diane to share any information that she’s discovered on judge Kim with you.

Alexis: I’m glad you did. Look, Carly, I have a vested interest in Drew, as well. He’s the father of my granddaughter, and I would like to see him come home to scout.

Carly: Have you had any luck?

Alexis: From what I can tell so far, I think there’s a strong possibility that there has been a miscarriage of justice.


Cyrus: This is a rare and special privilege. Just the two of us in this spacious room.

Ellen: It’s private. Cameras are off except during visiting hours. There’s no record of this meeting… like there would be if you came to see me in my office.

Cyrus: And why, warden, do you require such privacy? Just what is it you have in store for me?


Kristina: None of you have visited the island yet, right?

No, I haven’t.

Nina: You know, Sonny has told me all about it. He’d planned for us to go to the island, but Willow went through what she went through, so I wanted to be with her.

Willow: Even though you knew I didn’t want you there.

Nina: Well, I knew where I had to be.

Kristina: Well, both of you are going to love it. It’s gorgeous.

What’s it like?

Kristina: It’s a hotel and a casino, but there’s a private wing just for the family. And the gardens are just breathtaking.

Nina: Sonny told me about the gardens.

Kristina: Yeah, the smell from the flowers are everywhere. And it doesn’t matter what room you’re in, you can still hear the sea.

Well, this sounds like the perfect spot for a wedding.

[ Chuckles ]

Sonny: I want to thank you, Michael.

Michael: For what?

Sonny: For getting Willow to come to the wedding.

Michael: Well, actually, this was Willow’s decision.


Alexis: Judge Kim’s judicial record is solid. He’s an intelligent and an effective jurist.

Carly: That’s not the news I was looking for.

Alexis: But he has a pattern of interpreting the law in a way that lines up ideologically with special interests… who happen to be the ones that influence who sits on what bench and who gets promoted.

Carly: So Judge Kim rules the way these influential people want, and, in turn, he moves up the career ladder, whether or not his ruling is right or not.

Alexis: Very good. You get it. However, I haven’t been able to prove that there has been any quid pro quo of judge Kim accepting any favors or being unduly influenced by the special interests.

Carly: Well, I can help with that. I just found out there’s proof. And I can get it for you.


Ellen: Cyrus, I’m offended. I’m just doing my job, coming in and checking on your welfare. After all, you’re such a beacon of light to the other inmates. All your spiritual ministry that you deliver. It’s no wonder how we managed before without you.

Cyrus: You know, I do provide a valuable service which reflects quite well on your legacy here at Pentonville. It does, doesn’t it? Do you know how many inmates are engaged in self-improvement as a direct result of my guidance?

Ellen: Spare me the campaign speech. We’re alone, Cyrus.

Cyrus: Spare me your false concern for my welfare and get to the point. Why did you want to see me?

Ellen: Because… I’m out of here.


Maxie: Sorry for my outburst.

Lucy: No, no. Really. You do not have anything to apologize for.

Maxie: Okay. Well, let’s prepare for our staff meeting. We need to at least pretend we have a plan moving forward.

Well, on a happier note, Cody Bell is out of custody and Sasha’s home recuperating from all of her… mental problems.

Maxie: Yeah, I got some of the details from mac.

That is — thank you — good news.

Hey, um, did you have a chance to see Sasha?

Maxie: No, no. I’ve been giving her some space. I figured she needed some quiet time.

Lucy: Right. That — that’s a — that’s a very good idea after this ugly situation.

Maxie: Yeah. She can’t seem to catch a break.

Scott: Well, I heard Gladys hightailed it back to Westport, Bridgeport, some port that she’s from in Connecticut. Well, I guess, uh, you girls have work to do, so I’ll bid you adieu.

Uh, Maxie — we need to prepare an agenda for our meeting.

Yeah, yeah, uh, but that can wait.

For what?

I really, um, have something I need to say.


Brook Lynn: Is Gregory in the hospital?

Chase: Mnh-mnh.

Brook Lynn: Where is he?

Chase: Honestly, I-I don’t know.

Brook Lynn: Well, do I need to call Finn? Does he know what’s going on?

Chase: Oh, Finn knows. So does your grandmother.

Brook Lynn: What? My grandmother knows?

Chase: I am the only one who didn’t know that my father was dying. They all kept it from me like I am a child or like I couldn’t handle it. I-I don’t know. I don’t know.

Brook Lynn: What’s, um — what’s Gregory’s diagnosis?

Chase: My father has… amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It’s ALS.


Lucy: I have been doing a lot of thinking today.

Maxie: Can I go first?

Lucy: Oh. Yeah. Sure. Go ahead.

Maxie: Okay. Great. Thank you. Maybe we should just find a buyer for the 25% and call it a day. At least then we would end up with something.

Lucy: Just hold that thought, okay?

Maxie: Lucy.

Lucy: No, really. Hold the thought. Get the staff together for a meeting. And no agenda necessary.


Chase: When I got home, I got my phone out to research ALS. I wanted to see how this disease was gonna take over my father’s life… how it would progress. I want to know how much time I had left with my dad.

Brook Lynn: That’s understandable.

Chase: But then I started scrolling through photos on my phone, and I saw all these great shots of my dad. Us camping together. Tea parties with violet. Hanging out in the stands at a chuck game. And then all these random shots of us at dinner and… …just watching sports on the sofa. And he looks so great in all of them. So vital a-and young for his age. And… it’s like there was nothing wrong with him. Like nothing ever could be wrong with him. And now… all I can think about… …is that young, vital man, my hero… …my dad… he’s gonna be in a wheelchair. And he’s not getting out of it.


Gregory: I should have told Chase. Him learning I have ALS should have come from me. How did he find out?

Finn: It was, uh — it was by mistake.

Gregory: How does a mistake like that happen?

Finn: He was arresting someone, and he got pepper sprayed, so he came by the hospital to get his eyes flushed out. And afterwards, I told him to wait in the lounge, right? And his eyes were all sort of bloodshot and teary. And Tracy Quartermaine saw him, and I think she kind of jumped to the wrong conclusion.

Gregory: Tracy told Chase?

Finn: Yeah, I’m not — I’m not sure what was said initially, but whatever it was, it made Chase suspicious. I saw them talking across the hub. And by the time I knew what was going on, it was too late. Tracy had told Chase.

Gregory: I can’t believe this. So, obviously, Chase knows that I already told you.


Carly: There’s a regular that comes into Kelly’s, and I’ve been talking to him lately. He’s a pilot for a private jet that belongs to a billionaire named Asher alexander. And the pilot told me the downside of his job is that whenever Mr. Alexander wants to go on a trip and for however long he wants to stay, the pilot must go with him.

Alexis: Tough life.

Carly: Right. Well, the last trip they went on was to an island in the Caribbean. Took a group of guys down there to go deep-sea fishing. Guess who one of the passengers was.

Alexis: Judge Albert Kim?

Carly: That’s right.


Willow: So, what made you and Sonny decide to elope?

Nina: Well, it started with just, ugh, this whole big stack of wedding materials that Olivia delivered to me from the metro court, and it got a bit overwhelming, and I kept putting off going through them.

Kristina: Thank you!

Nina: “Thank you” for what?

Kristina: I am the queen of procrastination. So I find it quite reassuring to know that Nina, the super-organized Nina, is also someone who succumbs to procrastination sometimes, too.

[ Laughter ]

Kristina: What about you, Willow? Are you as organized as you seem, or are you a secret procrastinator like Nina?


Michael: Well, Willow and I discussed whether we should attend the wedding or not. Ultimately, I left the decision up to her. Well, here we are.

Sonny: Michael, come on. We both know it’s not that simple.


Cyrus: You’re “out of here.” Are you going on vacation?

Ellen: No. I’m out permanently.

Cyrus: This seems sudden.

Ellen: There’s nothing sudden about it. I’ve been working towards this for a while, and it’s finally happening. I can’t wait to see port Charles, Sonny Corinthos, and this whole infected place from my rear-view mirror.

Cyrus: Where are you headed?

Ellen: Texas. Land of the free.

Cyrus: Another prison?

Ellen: All of them. I’ll be overseeing all of the federal prisons in the state.

Cyrus: What about me?

Ellen: You’ll get yours.


Maxie: First, thank you, everyone, for coming. Um, I know this has not been the easiest time for us. Lucy and I, we really appreciate you sticking by us and working hard. As soon as Lucy gets here, we have an important announcement to make about the future of deception.

Woman: Why don’t you save us the time and just give us the bad news?

Maxie: Uh, let me — let me check and see where Lucy is. You know what? She — she must be on her way. So let’s just give her a few minutes. Oh! What are you doing here, Scott?

Scott: Beats me. Lucy wanted me to come back.

Maxie: What?


Alexis: You’re certain that the pilot said it was Judge Kim on that fishing trip in the Caribbean?

Carly: Yeah, I wanted to make sure, so I looked up judge Kim’s picture on the court website, and the pilot confirmed it. I mean, unfortunately, the pilot signed a non-disclosure agreement, so he can’t say who flies with him on the record, but…

Alexis: Non-disclosures are my specialty. There’s usually a way around them. What I want to know is, did the pilot give you the date of this trip?

Carly: Dates and times.

Alexis: [ Gasps ]

Carly: Apparently they all went down there to go fishing.

Alexis: So the next thing we do is we check judge Kim’s calendar, see if the dates match and if he disclosed his destination.


Gregory: Does Chase blame you for not telling him?

Finn: Everything happened so fast. But he was definitely upset when he left the hospital. And I don’t blame him for being angry at me. I handled this all wrong.

Gregory: No, no, son. I’m not gonna let you blame yourself for this. None of it. T-this was all on me. This is my disease. And I’m Chase’s father. It was on me to tell my son. It wasn’t your responsibility. I was selfish. I shouldn’t have waited so long and delayed the inevitable for as long as I did. And now, because of me, Chase is paying the price.


Chase: I can’t help but think about the time that I spent in a wheelchair. I mean, I-I hoped and prayed that one day I would recover and walk again. And that day that I stood up for the first time… was one of the sweetest moments of my life.

Brook Lynn: Yeah.

Chase: But for my dad… …he won’t get that recovery.

Brook Lynn: This has to be crushing Gregory. How much do you know about ALS?

Chase: Very little. I mean, I did that ice-bucket challenge a few years ago. At that time, I learned that it is degenerative, that there’s no cure, there’s no stopping it.

Brook Lynn: Okay, well, I’m gonna help you find out everything that we can so we know exactly what we’re dealing with, okay?

Chase: I… I j– I — I can’t. Not right now. I-I can’t even imagine what I’m gonna have to say to him the next time I see him.

Brook Lynn: Okay.


Willow: Yes. I have always been one of those annoying organized people.

Kristina: But admit it. How often are you making to-do lists?

Willow: Almost every night. What? I feel comfortable knowing what I have to do the next day and then being able to check it off as I do it. Which is why Michael and I are so perfect together.

Are you serious? Wait.

Willow: Michael is the complete opposite.

Really?

Yes! Oh, he is so unorganized. He’s a mess. I mean, listen, Michael is a great businessman. He’s brilliant. But organization? Not his strong suit.

Busted.

[ Laughter ]

You know, why don’t I put my organizational skills to good use?

How?

By helping you with the wedding. What can I do?


Sonny: It would have been simple enough to refuse my invitation when I asked you.

Michael: I thought the invitation was for both of us. I mean, I wasn’t gonna speak for my wife.

Sonny: Yeah, but you could have made it clear to Willow that she could go to the wedding but you’re not going. Why didn’t you?


Ellen: You do find a way to make it all about you, Cyrus, don’t you? You’ll be fine. You want to know why?

Cyrus: Oh, I’m sure you’ll tell me.

Ellen: Because I have great trust in your ingenuity. You’re like a cat, Cyrus. You always find a way to land on your feet. But now I don’t have to clean up your messes. My promotion came through, and I’ll be in Texas.

Cyrus: You’re welcome.

Ellen: [ Scoffs ] You always take credit for everything.

Cyrus: God helps those who help themselves.

Ellen: And you definitely help yourself, don’t you, Cyrus?

Cyrus: There is just one more thing before you go.


Lucy: …And I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your hard work. That hard work has made deception the incredible company that it is today. Now, I-I’m sure you’ve all heard — and you’re probably talking about it — that we have been hit with a very frivolous lawsuit, one that threatens the very future of deception. Um, and in saying that, that means that we have to make some very, very difficult decisions. Now, those decisions will affect everybody’s lives in this room. Okay, so, on the table is a deal where we would completely relinquish control of deception and we would only be left with 25% stake. Well, obviously, that is unacceptable. Come on. Look at us. We have worked so very hard and we have sacrificed so much to just give in to some — some corporate bully. So in talking to several legal advisors, um… and at a fairly significant personal cost, there is another deal on the table, one that we will retain 49% of the company. So what that means is, going forward, that deception can go on in perpetuity, improving and growing and being amazing for decades to come. You know, I guess what I’m trying to say is I just feel like deception is more than beauty, right? I mean, we’re sustainability and innovation and inspiration. But you know what we also are? We’re really a family. I mean, to me, you’re all my family, one that I have grown to love and to cherish. And I am not gonna let that get away from me. I am keeping it forever. So what I’m trying to say is nobody’s gonna be allowed to take anything else away from us because we are family, fierce, fantastic. And anybody that tries to fight us, we will battle them, and they cannot win if we all just stick together.

[ Applause ]


Brook Lynn: Chase. I’m so, so sorry. This is terrible news. I love Gregory. He’s so smart and funny, and he’s been so welcoming and accepting of me. You know, the thing I love most about your dad is how much he loves your family. You two have such a sweet bond, you know? You’re so close.

Chase: Just not close enough for him to tell me about his diagnosis.

Brook Lynn: I’m sure he intended to. Look. I have to apologize.

Chase: For what?

Brook Lynn: Tracy. She inserted herself where she has absolutely no business.

Chase: Well, if she hadn’t, I still wouldn’t know that my dad has ALS. Although, if I’m being honest, I kind of wish I didn’t.

Brook Lynn: Would it be okay if I stepped out for a little while? There’s just something I want to take care of.

Chase: Yeah. Sure.

Brook Lynn: What are you gonna do?

Chase: I’ll probably just sit here, collect my thoughts, and maybe do a little research.

Brook Lynn: Okay. I love you. So, so much.

Chase: I love you, too. And thank you for listening.

[ Door closes ]


Gregory: I am such a coward for not telling Chase I have ALS.

Finn: Hey. You are not a coward. Don’t do that to yourself. You’re going through a lot.

Gregory: It was bad enough… admitting the truth to myself and then to you. Ever since I was diagnosed, I’ve just been imagining sitting down and — and telling Chase. Imagining the — the look of pain and fear on his face, watching that perpetual optimistic smile of his fade away. Just been dreading it. Or — I don’t know. Maybe — maybe I’ve just been protecting myself. Because as long as Chase didn’t know, then… some little part of me could stay in denial.

Finn: There’s no right way to do this. But I know one thing. You are a hell of a father. I think you’re the best. And I know you’ll do whatever Chase needs, okay?


Alexis: Bingo! Turns out that judge Kim was on vacation the exact dates the pilot provided.

Carly: So that’s great.

Alexis: What it doesn’t say on the calendar is that he was on a fishing trip in the Caribbean or that he was with a politically influential billionaire. And if I were a betting gal, I would say that he didn’t put it on his tax returns that it was a gift.

Carly: Okay. Is this enough? Is this enough to put pressure on Judge Kim to reduce Drew’s sentence?

Alexis: Depends on one thing.

Carly: What’s that?

Alexis: How it’s presented to him.


Nina: Thank you for your offer to help, but Sonny insists that all we have to do is show up.

Kristina: You know, the staff in Puerto Rico is gonna take care of everything. The staff is amazing. You will want for nothing. And the food. Oh! The chef has a Michelin star, so you’re both in for some incredible meals and desserts. And he is taking care of the wedding cake.

Ooh! I can’t wait.

But, really, if you need any help on the actual day with prep — I don’t know — someone to zip up your dress or — or the whole “old, new, borrowed, blue” thing…

Nina: Oh. The “old, new, borrowed, blue” — not needed here. But I would like it if both of you could help me get ready.

Okay! It would be my pleasure to help.


Michael: When I told Willow about your invitation, I let her know that the choice to attend was completely up to her.

Sonny: I see.

Michael: But she wanted to know how I felt.

Sonny: What’d you tell her?

Michael: I told her that I wanted to come. You know, we’re family. And family should show up for big moments in life. Like getting married.


Ellen: Don’t worry, Cyrus.

Cyrus: Oh, I’m not worried, but our business isn’t finished yet. Everything we discussed is still happening. You just need to sit tight and be patient. I can trust you?

Ellen: Trust? Trust doesn’t mean anything now, Cyrus. I’ve erased all of our interactions, eliminated any trace. We’re done.

Cyrus: Who’s replacing you?

Ellen: I don’t know. And, frankly, I don’t care. I’ve done my part. And now you’re on your own.


Donna and Wiley are all buckled in.

They were asleep?

Yeah. They didn’t even budge when I checked their seatbelts.

We’re almost there.

I’m really looking forward to it. And I think Wiley’s going to have a great time on the island.

Sonny: So tomorrow you’re gonna be Mrs. Sonny Corinthos. We’re gonna start a new chapter in our life. And I cannot wait to see where that leads us.

Nina: Me too. You have made me the happiest woman on earth.


Cyrus: I’m actually sorry to see you go.

Ellen: I wish I could say the same, Cyrus, but I can’t.

Cyrus: I have one final question.

Ellen: Ellen: One more is all you get.

Cyrus: Any word on my friend Drew Cain?

Why in the world would you care about Drew Cain?

Cyrus: The man saved my life like Daniel was saved in the lion’s den.

Ellen: Well, it’s a hard den out there, Cyrus. And not everybody is as lucky as Daniel. But rest assured… Drew Cain will be taken care of. And this time, for good.


Carly: Thank you, Alexis. I really appreciate this. And I know it’s gonna mean a lot to Drew.

Alexis: I’m really happy to help. Do you still have the contact information for that pilot?

Carly: I do.

Alexis: Well, use it, will you? See if you can find out anything more. Anything you can find out will be helpful.

Carly: Do you really think the judge is gonna take the bait?

Alexis: I think from what I know about him so far, he’s gonna have a real hard time resisting talking about himself or bragging about his accomplishments to the press. I need to get him in here for an interview, I need to get him talking, and hopefully he won’t stop. Just give him enough rope. And then we got him.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ]


Maxie: Lucy, that was a great speech.

Lucy: I know. Wow. But, hey, seriously, I just — I couldn’t let you and everybody else sink because of horrible Tracy Quartermaine. Not on my watch.

Maxie: Thank you. You’re a great friend.

Lucy: Did you happen to see where Scott went?

Scott: You know, Lucy, this decision is crazy. But it’s my kind of crazy. So… let’s celebrate.
