THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

You are damn good, Chanel. Let’s hope those aren’t laced with a dangerous hallucinogen. Can I help you? Chanel Dupree, I presume. Yeah, that’s me. We haven’t been formally introduced. My name is Clint Rawlings. We have a lot to discuss. Hey. Hi. Coffee? Oh,

I would love some. You just come from the hospital? Yeah, I just left. We had a very eventful morning. Really? Care to share? Well, you might find it interesting. Marlena managed to deprogram Harris Michaels. Really? So he’s gonna be okay? To be determined. I don’t think you understand. We have completely broken through Megan’s conditioning, so you are no longer under her or anybody else’s control.

I’m glad you think so. Well, I think so, because it’s true. And there’s also no reason for you to receive any inpatient care. With all due respect, Dr. Evans, the only way to make sure that I never hurt another innocent person again

is to have me committed immediately.

So, who do you want to be in a committed relationship with? Buddy, me. A trip. Look, we’ll respect your decision either way. We need an answer, Wendy. Are

you suspending me? You’re leaving me no choice. You’re drinking on the job. You’re gonna hurt yourself or worse, someone else. Now, I’m gonna need your gun and your shield. Man, oh man. How do you not get dizzy standing up there on your high horse? What the hell does that mean? It means that you and I both know damn well that you’ve broken as just as many rules as any other officer in this department.

Careful detective. Careful? Yeah. How careful do you want me to be, boss? I mean, I was just as careful as you were when you started having sex with one of your other detectives.

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

Jada! Is it a nice surprise? Sorry, I should have called ahead. No, no need. My oldest friend’s daughter doesn’t need an invitation. Come on in. Thanks.

So, Steve, I wanted to say that I’m so sorry that you lost another long time friend. Thanks. Can’t believe Abe’s gone. Still trying to wrap my head around it. Yeah, me too. I’ve been on the job a long time, and I’ve seen a lot of bad things, but this… It’s hard to make sense of it. I know you and Rafe did everything you could to bring Abe home safe.

We did, but we still can’t help but feel that we let him down.

I wonder how Abe would feel knowing that instead of you being out there looking for him. You were too busy disobeying one of his last rules. My office. Now. No, you just put me on suspension, so I don’t have to go anywhere with you. I’m telling you, don’t do this. Why? What, you don’t want the rest of the department to know that you’ve been screwing Detective Hunt?

You don’t know what the hell you were talking about! Really? This lady whistleblower, she sure knew what she was talking about. Oh, really? Okay, so now we’re gonna believe everything that we read in Leo Stark’s gossip column? Or maybe… Maybe it’s the booze that’s clouding your judgment. Hmm. Yeah, well, I didn’t just read about it in Stark’s gossip column.

I got a first hand account.

You know, I appreciate you two being so patient with me. Giving me time to figure out what I want. Of course.

Trip, do you mind giving Johnny and me some privacy?

Yeah. Yeah, uh, I need to… Don’t check in with my dad anymore. Yeah, please let him know I’m thinking about him. And Tripp, I’ll text you. Okay.

Alone at last. Clint

Rawlings. You’re Abe’s deputy mayor. I was until his untimely demise. May he rest in peace. So, are you the mayor now? Acting. Mayor. I see. And I see you’re open for business.

Sample? I’ll think about it. Well, as I’m sure you know, we’ve been going through some challenges, but with everything that my family’s going through, I’m just, I’m really grateful to be back in business. I’m sure you are. I’m sorry. Is there a problem, Mr. Rawlings? Acting Mayor Rawlings. You’re damn right there’s a problem.

You poisoned half this town, Ms. Dupree. And if it were up to me, sweet bits would be shuttered for good. I know how upsetting it

must have been to learn that you were still susceptible to It’s a nightmare. It’s a nightmare. Only, I never wake up from it. I’m constantly in fear that I’m gonna wake up strapped to a bed and learn that I’ve hurt somebody else. I understand. I know how it feels to… To believe that you are no longer acting of your own free will.

And, and if you think you still have some residual effect, I’d be glad to see you on an outpatient. No, that’s not gonna be enough. That’s not gonna be enough. I need to be under locking. key 24 7 until a team of shrinks can guarantee me that Megan Hathaway and that freak Dr. Rolfe will never be inside my head again.

So it was you that had Michaels go after Megan Hathaway? Oh, what was I thinking, right? I mean, I knew that she had already had him under her control. I mean, we all knew that. And so did he. I mean, he’s a big boy. You know the risks? It’s true, but seriously, I should have known that she wouldn’t go violently when she found out he was trying to kidnap her and transport her to an off grid site.

He’s a pro. He’s probably done a hundred of these sort of things. Yeah, still, maybe. It still would have been best if he had gone with my original idea. What was that? I told him to kill the bitch.

Dr. Evans, as long as Rolf and Megan are out there, I am a threat. To you and everybody that you care about.

You didn’t seriously hurt anybody when you were under their control. Not this time. But what about before? The two guys that I shot in cold blood in Greece. What I did to Bowen Hope, the Johnsons, I attacked your husband and your stepson in San Francisco. Do you want somebody who’s dangerous and unstable like me walking the streets?

Now, this is more like it. Johnny.

Hey. No, no, it’s okay. I didn’t mind a little competition and, and… Besides, if anyone deserves to have two men fighting over her… It is you. Except… I’m not surprised to be one. No, no, no, no, no, you’re not. I’m, I’m, that’s not what I meant. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for it to come out like that. Johnny, this wasn’t about you competing with Tripp.

Okay, this was about me trying to figure out my feelings. You know, deciding who and what I need in a partner. No, no, I know, I know. And I get that, I respect that, and I am so happy that you chose me. And now the trip is out of the picture. You and I can really just focus on committing to each other. Aren’t you forgetting someone else in your little equation?

Uh, no. What do you mean, who? Who else? Chanel.

So you’re not gonna try the sample? Cuz I have to say my chocolate scones have been known to make grown men cry. This works a lot of people, huh? Why does? That bubbly irreverence. It’s easy to see how so many people have been charmed by you. Theo Carver. Xander Cook. And before that, there was your college professor.

Excuse me? And let’s not forget both Johnny DiMera and his twin sister, Allie Horton. And then there was Talia Hunter. Okay, wait a second. You going over all of the people that I’ve been involved with is really creeping me out. And for the record, not that it’s any of your business, but Talia Hunter only pretended to like me so that she could help Colin Bedford get revenge.

Yes, and then she threw herself and her boyfriend off a roof. All to save you. My God, how do you know all of this about me? And what is your point? My point? Is that you’re not just delivering delicious treats to Salem. Since you arrived here, you and your mother have brought nothing but crime, chaos, and salacious scandals to our fine city.

And it’s time someone did something about that. Mmm.

These are delicious. You’re right.

First hand account. About Jada and me? Yep. From Jada herself. Alright. She told you? Not exactly. Alright. Alright. So, Rafe came over to give me some good news about my sister. And, you know, that was a big relief to me. And then, one thing led to another, and… That’s all I’m gonna say. Well, I am very a great guy, and you’re a great catch.

I really hope it does work out. Thanks.

So you eavesdropped on Jada and Cade’s conversation. Well, detectives gotta detect, right? So yeah, yeah, I know all about your sneaky little affair. Burning question is, what am I gonna do with the information?

Well, John and I… Came up against the same walls on the investigation that you guys did. I kept thinking there would be some piece of evidence out there that would explain why Abe went into the water that night. And where he went when he left the hospital. You know, Rafe and I, well, the entire Salem PD, we turned this city upside down looking for him.

But I wish we could have done more. Hey, buddy. Hey, Dad. Hey, Dana. Hey, Tripp. Nice to see you. You too. Well, I better get back to the station now. Well, thanks for coming by. I’ll let you know if we turn up anything new. Same. See you,

Tripp. Bad day? Written all over my face, huh? Yeah, I think you inherited that from me. When you’re unhappy, you have a hard time hiding it. So what’s going on? What’s got you down? Uh, it’s about Wendy. Who I have very strong feelings for. And that’s a bad thing? It is now. Cause it looks like I’m about to lose her to Johnny DeMera.

What does Chanel have to do with you? And me finally getting to be together. I had to make a choice when it came to you and Tripp, and you had to make one too. Um, no. I didn’t because I wasn’t seeing Chanel the same time I was dating you. Yeah, only because she didn’t give you the chance. What? No! Wendy! You are the only woman that I want to be with.

I’m not so sure about that. Okay. Where is, where is all this coming from? Look, I’m not the one who needed to date two people just to make a decision. Well, because I was being honest with you. Oh, and I wasn’t being honest with you. I’m just saying… When it comes to your feelings with Chanel… I don’t think you’re being honest with yourself.

I know those poison biscuits cause a lot of trouble, but I had nothing to do with it. Except that it was one of your employees that did the poisoning. Okay, my, my bakery was sabotaged. I’m the innocent party here. Oh? Well, what about your customers? Some of whom suffered violent reactions and terrifying hallucinations.

Weren’t they? Of course, and I feel terrible about that. I’m not sure you do. Because from what I’ve gathered, you haven’t taken responsibility for the incident. Or for the fact that your unseemly involvement with Colin Bedford’s parents led directly to this mess. Oh my god, why are you attacking me like this?

What I am doing, Miss Dupree, is making it clear that the Rawlings administration is bringing law, order, and moral decency back to Salem, USA. Which means going forward, if you are involved in one more incident, I’ll see to it that you never do business in this town again.

Stale, by the way.

You asked Michaels to kill Megan

Hathaway? Ah, ah, ah. Ah, come on. I mean, you’re not going to tell Robin, right? Kate! What? Come on. Megan Hathaway is fine, so there’s no harm, no foul. No, I don’t make a habit of lying to my big brother, and you shouldn’t either. Listen, I, he would understand. When we were all presumed dead, John, Steve, Roman, they all considered taking out Orpheus.

Yes, I know. Roman told me. He also told me that he had a change of heart and went to Statesville to stop them from going ahead with their plans. But still, he would understand the impulse. I certainly do. What? Taylor, Brady, Little Miss Catholic School, Laurel actually has a little bit of the killer instinct.

I’m not saying that I condone cold blooded murder. Do I wish that Megan Hathaway was out of our lives for good? Damn right

I do. It is because of my husband that I have enormous empathy for you.

I know. I know that he was brainwashed by, by Rolf and Stefano. Yeah. The DiMeras have used mind control against people for decades. They’re the monsters. Not you. That may be. But they managed to turn me into a weapon not once, but twice. And I’m not willing to risk what could happen if they could do it a third time.

Are

you threatening me, Shawn? I’m just saying. That if you can break the rules, and you can get a pass, then why can’t I? You were drinking on the job! And you have been sleeping with your subordinate! What I do off the clock does not impact my work! And it’s no one’s damn business! Really? Yeah. Okay, what about, what about power imbalance?

Workplace ethics? Like… What the hell do you want, Sean? I want fairness. But at the end of the day, that’s up to you. If you wanna suspend me, fine. Go ahead. You wanna, you wanna treat me like crap? Go ahead. But it… I’m not a vindictive bastard. Meaning what? Meaning that I will be discreet. I’m not going to tell anybody that you’ve been hooking up with Detective Hunter.

Excuse me?

Deputy Mayor! I’m acting mayor now. For your sake, Commissioner Hernandez, I sincerely hope this detective’s got his facts wrong.

Acting Mayor Rawlings, um, I think you misheard. You mean you didn’t just accuse your commanding officer of having an inappropriate workplace relationship with one of your fellow detectives?

What’s going on? Detective Hunter! What a coincidence. We were just talking about you. I think

I like this new lethal Kayla Brady Johnson. I’m not condoning violence. But I want my family to be safe. Said the proud mama bear. Look, I hope that they find Megan Hathaway and put her away for life this time. Oh, amen to that, sister in law. Yeah. Listen, I need to go. Steve and I have a lunch date at home.

Yeah, I’ll walk you out. There’s someone I need to see.

Harris, even if I had you committed to Bayview, it doesn’t mean you won’t be conditioned again. Several lovely demure pawns have succumbed to mind control. Even after very rigorous psychiatric treatments. I, I get that. I mean, I was in intense therapy with those doctors overseas, but we know how it worked out for me.

But at least with inpatient treatment, I, I believe that will help me become mentally stronger. So I’ll be less susceptible to Rolf’s mind games.

What do you want from me? What, what do you mean? Well, you, you can commit yourself to, to, uh, to bathe you of your own volition. Yeah, but then I can check myself out too. But if you commit me, then I have no choice but to stay. That’s what you want?

Yeah. My mind has been so screwed with over the past few years. I

just need some time to heal.

For me this is about survival. And if I can’t rid myself of the fear that at any moment I might lose control of who I am or who I want to be, I just don’t know if I can go on.

So please,

will you commit me or not?

So, you, uh, just left Wendy there with Johnny DiMera? Yeah, what was I supposed to do? Chain myself to the couch? She asked me to go. Well, you know, when Bo and I were your age, we would fight for the lady’s hand. Well, times have changed, Dad. I don’t think Wendy would have appreciated me challenging Johnny to a duel.

What do you think turning tail was the answer? As opposed to refusing to leave? Were you afraid of being cancelled? Or arrested? Oh, man. Everybody’s so sensitive these days. Dad, you do understand that I have to respect Wendy’s wishes. Yeah, yeah. Well, I guess you do. Dad! Yes, of course you do. Okay, I’m not that much of a caveman.

I know that throwing a woman over my shoulder or on the back of Bo’s stolen bike, those days are obviously long gone. Yeah, that’s a good thing. Damn straight it is. We have to trust that women know their own minds, and that is what I am doing. If Wendy chooses Johnny, that is her prerogative, and I’m dealing with it.

End of story. What? What are you thinking now? I just wonder if Wendy really knows her own mind. Of course she does. And I have to accept that.

I think it’s just too cut and dry. I

don’t want to be with Chanel. I want to be with you. And yet every time I turn around, you’re racing off to be with her. Yeah, because she’s my friend. Okay, and she’s been through a lot of trauma lately. She was almost killed. She just lost her stepdad. Yeah, I understand. She’s going through hell, and I feel for her.

But you still think there’s something shady going on? No. Look, I like her. And I do not do girl drama. Then what’s the problem? The problem? Is that your first instinct is to always protect your ex wife and I don’t see that changing anytime soon Which is one of the reasons I’m choosing to be with Tripp

You can’t give up on Wendy that easily Have you been listening to anything? I just said of course I have You have to let her make her own choices And I’m hip to toxic masculinity and gender equality and all that stuff But you don’t have to be toxic and disrespectful to fight for someone. And I’m talking about the kind of fighting you guys do.

You’re smarter, more evolved generation. With your head, you know, with respect and decency. How am I supposed to fight like that? It’s easy. You just show Wendy what a good, awesome man you are. And that you’re in it for the long haul. I don’t think I’ve already tried that. I think that you’ve been let down and hurt by a lot of people in your life.

So when it comes to love, things get dicey, you have a tendency to cut your losses and, and run. To protect yourself. And I get that, man. I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Let me tell you something. If you really care about Wendy as much as you say you do, then you’ve got to let her know you’re not going anywhere.

Will

you do that? Will you at least consider it? I suppose I could. It’s just,

I feel like I’ve already humiliated myself enough. Even just being in this competition with Johnny. Hey. It shouldn’t be humiliating to give something all you got. Okay? And if it doesn’t work out, you can walk away with no regrets, knowing that you fought for it.

Okay. Okay, I’ll take your advice. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it. I better not. Thanks, Dad. Anytime, son.

Now, where are you going? You’re going over to Wendy’s, right? Yes, I’m going. I promise. I’m going. Okay.

So you’re really picking Tripp over me because you think I’m not over Chanel? Your connection with Chanel is only part of the reason. Okay, then what’s the rest?

Well, Tripp and I have been spending a lot of time together lately. Well, I’ve been with Chanel. Yeah. And my feelings for him have started to deepen. Oh. Oh, so it’s my fault. No. No, it’s not anybody’s fault. Look, you’re a great guy, Johnny. And I care about you a lot. Now it’s just… Have a hard time. But I, uh, really do hope that you and Chanel give it another shot.

I don’t want to be with Chanel. How many times do I have to tell you that? What do I have to do to prove it?

Goodbye, Johnny.

Bye.

What’s new?

Hey, you’re back. I’m back. Sorry I had to check on a few other patients. And I wanted to give that sedative some time to kick in. How do you feel? I’m a little more relaxed, thank you.

Good. Have, have you made a decision? About my request? I have.

It’s obvious to me how much you want this, so… I will commit you to Bayview.

Detective Hunter, your partner has just brought a very serious accusation to my attention. Sean? Oh, I didn’t make any accusation. Might I speak to you in private, Detective Hunter? I’m sorry, what is this about? Your relationship with Commissioner Hernandez. Okay, you know what, this, this really isn’t necessary, Mr.

Mayor. In here, Detective. Now? Sorry, Rafe,

I didn’t, I didn’t know that Rawlings was standing right behind me. Yeah, it’s a little late for apologies, Sean. Look, I can make this better. Okay, I’m gonna go in there, I’m gonna talk to him. No! I’m gonna… You’ve done enough. Now, I’m gonna still need your gun and your badge.

Now!

Yeah. Yeah, Mama and I got the flowers you and Henry sent. They were beautiful.

I know. I can’t believe it either. Abe is gone.

So, I heard you’re seeing someone. That’s great. All I’ve ever wanted was for you to be happy. Me? Oh, um, no, there’s no one new in my life.

Uh, Horton? Um, I, I have a customer. I’m, I’m gonna call you back, okay? Okay, yeah, you too. Bye, Horton.

Do you have a permit for that dark cloud you’re carrying around? It’s that obvious, huh? It is to me. What happened?

I just got dumped.

Hey! Hey!

Where’s Johnny? He left. Really? I figured you two would be celebrating your new official status as a couple. He and I have nothing to celebrate. What, he’s not excited about being your boyfriend? He’s not my boyfriend. Trip.

Okay, okay, I’m, I’m, I’m a little lost here. You asked me to leave so you could tell Johnny. So I could tell Johnny that I didn’t want to be with him. What?

I needed some time alone with him to explain why I chose you. Me? Yes, you. Dr. Tripp Johnson, you are the man I want to be with. That is, if you still want to be with me. Oh yeah, I do.

Mmm, something smells delicious. I hope you’re in the mood for some of my famous beef stew. Your amazing beef stew? Yeah. I think I’m in the mood for anything you’re cooking. Oh boy.

How was your day then? Well, two of my favorite people stopped by. Jada and then Tripp. Ah, for good reasons or bad? Jada was here to give her condolences about Abe, and… Well, that was nice of her. What about Tripp? Well, Tripp came to me for a little bit of advice on his love life. Uh huh. What do you mean, uh huh?

Tripp came to you for relationship advice. Well, not exactly, but I am his father. Oh. So you gave it to him. What can I say? When you have a gift, you gotta give it away. Hmm. So you say. Ah. So what about you? Busy morning? Um, well, actually, you know what? I stopped by the pub. And had a very interesting conversation with Kate.

Interesting how. Well, it turns out that my sister in law is the reason that Harris Michaels went after Megan Hathaway. It just didn’t turn out the way she hoped.

Knock, knock. Up for a visitor? Hey Kate.

Look, um, I need to apologize. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a card that said, Sorry that my harebrained scheme almost got you killed. You have nothing to apologize for. It was my plan, and it went awry. I’m actually, uh, I’m actually grateful to you. Oh, grateful. Yeah, if you hadn’t convinced me to go after Megan, I wouldn’t have found out that she still had the power to control me.

Yeah, well, maybe that’s a good thing. Let me know that I’m, I’m still a danger to myself and to the people around me.

But, uh, thanks to you, I’m going somewhere to get the help that I need. Okay, where’s that? Bayview.

Marlena, hey. Oh, hi there. Uh, uh, Are you here on assignment? No, um, no, I’m off duty.

Uh, wait, um, Look, actually, that’s, uh, that’s a lie. I’ve been, I’ve been doing that a lot lately. I’ve been lying to myself and, uh, and to others.

The truth is, I’ve, uh, Look, I’ve been suspended from the force. Oh my, what happened? Look, I’m in trouble. And, uh, Look, I need, I need your help. Look, I need your help before I make my life any worse than I already have.

Detective Hunter just confirmed that you and she have been engaging in an inappropriate workplace relationship. As you know, this is a violation of department policy regarding fraternization between city appointees and their subordinates. So I have no choice but to take immediate action.

I’m gonna need to take a gun in your badge. Okay, well, with all due respect, Mr. Mayor, you, uh, you don’t have the authority to suspend Detective Hunter. Oh, I’m not suspended, Mayor. Or you, for that matter. But as Acting Mayor, I do have the authority to appoint the Commissioner of Police. Or remove him. In other words, you’re fired.

[ Sensual music ]

Rj: Are you texting hope?

Liam: Uh, no, I’m texting wyatt, he needs notes for a meeting. He’s been– uh, he’s been taking over ever since my dad left town.

Rj: Come on, I mean, I’m sure bill knows that the two of you can handle this right now. He probably wants you focusing on your marriage, right? Instead of crashing at his place?

Liam: Well, rj, there’s a reason I’m crashing at my dad’s place.

Carter: Thomas and hope really nailed the fashion preview. The coverage won’t stop.

Ridge: Everyone is eating up this collection. Here’s your line sheet.

Katie: Thank you very much. I just hope we can keep up with demand, and thomas and hope need to keep a professional boundary. They crossed the line in rome.

Carter: Yeah, let’s hope the public doesn’t get wind of what happened.

Ridge: Agreed. We need to deal with this privately.

Katie: Well, good luck with that. Once a professional relationship becomes personal, it tends to infiltrate a company, becomes scandal for the press. Hope and thomas got caught up in a moment, and now that she’s back, she needs to concentrate on her marriage.

Ridge: Obviously, brooke is concerned about this too.

Katie: Well, yeah. Hope doesn’t normally run around kissing other men. She’s always been so moral. She’s focused on her family, committed to liam.

Carter: It’s hard to believe she’s the one responsible for what happened in rome.

Katie: She and thomas were riding high off of the success of the show. I’m sure she’s come to her senses now.

Ridge: I’m sure that doesn’t help liam. You know how he feels about thomas.

Liam: Hey rj, I know hope is your sister. You love her. You’re looking out for her. I can take time off from here, right? The reason I’m in this office right now is because I want the distraction. If I just focus on work…

Rj: You wanna focus on work instead of letting your marriage fall apart, is that it?

Liam: Yeah.

Rj: Look, maybe tonight, instead of staying at your dad’s place, maybe you should just go, and stay with your wife at home for a little. I don’t know, man. Maybe this isn’t my place. I feel… if anybody understands needing some time away, it’s me. So I get it, all right? I’m not coming after you for that. I’m just saying when you do spend time away over something like this, it builds walls, and I’m just worried that those walls aren’t gonna come down over this. I think you just need to go and just talk to her before it’s too late.

Thomas: Yeah, it feels like we’re made for each other. Do you have any idea how incredible you are? You’re just beautiful inside and out.

Hope: Well, you… you make me feel… alive. And I never want this feeling to end. You bring out something in me that… even I never knew existed. You’ve evolved.

Katie: So, the whole time you were in rome, you didn’t notice anything going on between hope and thomas?

Carter: Seemed all business to me. It was very professional.

Ridge: They were just invested in making this preview a success, that’s all I saw.

Katie: Well, your son doesn’t have the best track record…

Ridge: All right, easy. I know he’s made mistakes in the past, but he’s changed his life around, all right? So, this has nothing to do with thomas backsliding.

Carter: It’s probably the hardest thing for liam to grasp.

Ridge: I’m sure it is, but he can’t blame my son for it. He should talk to hope.

Liam: Which acquisition? No, no, hold firm. They’ll come around. Yeah. Yeah. No, I’m good. Rj’s still here. I know, told him about the chocolate ice cream in the cafeteria. Dude just won’t leave.

[ Liam chuckling ] No, I’m fine. It’s okay. I’m all good. Thanks, bro.

Rj: Well, it sounds like wyatt can handle things. You’re allowed to focus on your personal life every once in a blue moon. Maybe you can come around too. Am I getting through to you at all?

Liam: Anybody ever told you how persistent you are?

Rj: I’ve been described as worse.

Liam: Here’s the thing. I warned hope so many times, right? I mean, I told her that thomas should be no bigger a part of our lives than he absolutely has to be.

Rj: Right. And you’ve been super supportive of co-parenting douglas. I’m not knocking you for that, man.

Liam: That’s not… I draw the line at work, right? I have voiced my concerns over and over again about thomas rejoining hope for the future as the lead designer. And we came to an understanding, or at least, I thought we did. And then all of a sudden, hope changes her mind, and now, I’m going, “oh, great. Okay, here we go again. Thomas never ceases to insert himself into our lives.” And now, guess what. All this time, I thought thomas would be the one who blew up our lives and it was actually hope. It was hope. It was your sister who turned to him.

Hope: I’ve never really known this part of me. And on some level, I guess, it scares me.

Thomas: Being with me?

Hope: No. It’s just what’s going on inside of me. It’s almost like something has been unleashed. But it feels… strong. Powerful.

Thomas: Yeah, strong and powerful sound good.

[ Hope chuckling ]

Hope: Who knows? Maybe, this is what my mom was talking about all those years, you know, following her heart. Maybe, this is what it feels like. I just know that, um… it took a lot to admit that… I’ve been thinking about you in this way for a while now, and I– I knew it was wrong. I know it’S… this is wrong, but I just… I had to give in.

[ Hope chuckling ] What I dreamed of… this is so much better. I’m hearing different ways for me to screen

Carter: Look, I know how proud you are of thomas. We all are. He’s worked really hard to better himself, and he’s really come into his own.

Ridge: Yes, he has. Thank you, carter. He turned his life around. It’s not an easy thing to do. He’s a good father. He’s a good son. He shows up, his work is impeccable. Yes?

Katie: Yeah. He’s a huge component of hope for the future. I mean, none of this would have happened without him. Hope made an impulsive mistake. She got confused, spending so much time with thomas. She promises it’s never gonna happen again. So, now, it’s really up to liam to forgive her and keep their marriage from falling apart.

Rj: I hear you. But are you– are you telling me that you really want a divorce?

Liam: No.

Rj: No?

Liam: No, I don’t want this. I don’t want any of this, rj. You know what I want? You know what I do want?

Rj: What?

Liam: What I do want, I want my life back. That’s what I want. I want the last several months back. Here’s what I really want. I want the hope I knew from before, back. That’s what I want.

Rj: You could get her back. Come on, liam, you have something worth fighting for. Right now, you do. There’s nothing like what the two of you have and you know that.

Liam: You’re a good little brother.

Rj: Oh, don’t– don’t give me that. I’m not in high school anymore.

Liam: I’m not– I’m not condescending to you. That’s not what I’m doing. I’m just saying it’s a little different when it’s your life.

Rj: That is life, liam. You have good, you have bad, you have ups, you have downs. I mean, come on, that’s every single relationship. Am I wrong?

Liam: No.

Rj: Look, you need to focus on the fact that you love hope. And more importantly than that, you also love your family. If you focus on that, you’ll be able to forget about the fact that she did kiss thomas.

[ Liam groaning ] I can guarantee this isn’t gonna happen again.

Thomas: You know, I never could have imagined this. How incredible it would be right here, with you.

[ Both chuckling ]

Hope: Well, lying here in your arms… I have to admit there… is a part of me inside that is just screaming, “what are you doing?” I mean, I don’t know what I’m doing. My husband left me and I understand why. And I hate that I hurt him, but all of this is just happening so quickly. I don’t know. I– I– I do feel like maybe I am losing my mind. Maybe I am crazy because I mean, I– I had it all, right? Had the perfect family and… yet, I just can’t stop… wanting you. Trying to control my asthma felt anything but normal.

Rj: Liam, you can get past all of this. You both have been fighting for your marriage for so long. You’ve got to find it in your heart to just forgive her this once. Okay?

Liam: Rj, do you know how excited I was to surprise hope? To see her face… when I stepped off the plane? And then when I get to the event, I find out that I was too late. Do you know what I did? I just… I just went looking for her. Do you know how insane that is to just start walking around rome in hopes that I might see my wife? But I got this idea in my head that, um, she might be at the colosseum. I don’t know, it just felt cosmic and as I was approaching, I started to, uh, fantasize, you know. Her turning to me… running up to me, embracing me, thanking me for coming halfway across the world to support her. But what I got instead, the surprise… I got instead was her standing there with somebody else. At first, I couldn’t make out who it was, but it was thomas. And the way… she was looking at him… the desire.

[ Liam scoffing ] That smile of hers. A smile I… I thought was only ever meant for me. And then the look on her face changed and then she leaned in and she just… she kissed the one man… that she always knew I hated more than anyone.

Rj: I’m sorry, liam. I think if you really tried and you really focused on what the two of you have together, I think you could just find it in your heart to forgive her for this.

Liam: I would like that very much… but like I said, I’m not gonna get that image out of my head. Rj… forgiveness ain’t in the cards.

Rj: This isn’t you. You are not a quitter! That’s not the guy that I know. And I know that you know in your heart that hope and you are what is right. What you need to do right now is you need to go out that door and you need to fight for your marriage before it completely falls apart and you live with regret for the rest of your life.

Thomas: You know, I– I think I know what’s going on inside that head of yours. You– you did your best. I mean, you– you really tried to save your marriage. You went to liam, you tried to talk it out and he didn’t want to have any of it. In fact, he jumped straight to divorce. I– I don’t understand how a man could do that to you. You’re such an incredible person. You’re so wonderful. You’re always forgiving. I just– I don’t get it. Any man should be grateful to be with you and I know that I am. I– I don’t wanna be a person who ruins your life. I wanna be a person who puts you first. Lets you know that you’re loved and that you’re the only one. Just you and only you.

Hope: You know, I meant what I said. That I’ve never experienced anything like this. This feeling. It’s just… I don’t know, maybe it is because we’re doing something wrong. I mean, I am technically a married woman and yet… I don’t feel ashamed. I mean how could I? What we shared was so… passionate. Was so incredible. But before I– I get myself in any more trouble than I am… I should probably go.

Thomas: Okay. Look, um… before you do though, I… I have a question and I want you to be honest. Is this… you and me, something you can actually handle? Tell me the truth.

[ Hope sighing ]

Hope: Thomas… you’ve unlocked something in me and I have never felt more alive and I want to keep exploring that with you, but I also need to figure out what my next steps are going to be. So, until I get that figured out, can we just… can we keep this between us?

Thomas: Yeah. Of course. Take your time. H

Victoria: Nicholas. This is a surprise.

Nick: Yeah, I wasn’t sure if you deactivated my security badge or not.

Victoria: Uh, yes, and i also handed out your photo with a red line through your face. Do not admit. It’s not like you ever needed an id. You always charmed your way into the building. So, what brings you by?

Nick: My support team that you disbanded. I wanted to make sure they landed on their feet after you pulled the rug out from under them.

Adam: Okay, then I suggest you give them a business lesson because the only way for a company to grow is for the dead parts to be cut away. Tucker did not mind hemorrhaging a fortune. I’m not interested in running a non-profit. Layoffs are a necessary part of life, so if our company is ever gonna grow, heads will roll. C’est la vie.

Summer: Mom. Mom.

Phyllis: Is it safe?

Summer: Yeah, I’m alone.

Phyllis: Okay. Did anyone follow you?

Summer: No. I was really careful, okay? One hug won’t doom us, right?

Phyllis: I know. Oh, it feels so great to hug you, summer.

Summer: I’ve missed you so much.

Phyllis: I’ve missed you too. I miss you too. All right, here. Let me take a look at you. What’s going on, summer?

Summer: Let’s just– let’s run away. You know, you and me, we could do– we could do mother-daughter travel and fashion vlogs from countries without extradition treaties with the us. I mean, it’s not like there’s anything keeping me here anymore.

Phyllis: Still no luck with kyle.

Traci: So, why is it every time someone calls a family meeting, I’m filled with dread.

Billy: Yeah, you’re not the only one.

Traci: I– I go down my list of possible crimes and I wonder what I’ve done.

Billy: I feel like we’re being summoned to the principal’s office.

Traci: Yeah.

Diane: Hi. Uh, there’s cinnamon rolls in the kitchen, if you’re tempted.

Billy: Uh, I am fine. Thank you. They’re literally buttering us up with buttery pastries. This is not gonna be good.

Traci: No.

Diane: Nothing sinister. We just thought we’d save time if met face-to-face.

Jack: Perhaps we should get right to the heart of the matter. Have a seat.

Traci: Uh, we can’t have a family meeting until the whole family’s here and I think we’re down a few.

Jack: The critical ones are here. Let’s– let’s start it.

[ Billy sighing ]

Ashley: Hi.

Tucker: Hi.

Ashley: I’m so sorry to keep you waiting.

Tucker: That’s it, the wedding’s off.

Ashley: Ha. Did you notice anything odd when you left the house today?

Tucker: Always. Why?

Ashley: Well, jack and diane’s behavior, like they’re up to something.

Tucker: Ugh, no doubt.

Ashley: Right?

Tucker: Every time you walk into the room, their conversation suddenly stops.

Ashley: Exactly.

Tucker: And they’ve got these little tight-lipped smiles on their faces all the time. Then they gotta do something else in another room whenever you come in.

Ashley: I guess we shouldn’t be that surprised considering that bomb that we dropped on them yesterday about us starting our whole new company.

Tucker: I love dropping bombs.

Ashley: Yeah? I never noticed that about you.

Tucker: In fact, I have a little bomb myself to drop. That is a secret weapon. You can also consider it your wedding gift. Lactaid is 100% real milk,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Sharon: Your regular to go.

Adam: Well, hey, if you want me to go, sharon, just say so.

Sharon: Sounds like your new company’s keeping you pretty busy.

Adam: I would not have it any other way.

Sharon: Making sweeping decisions, just putting people out of work like that?

Adam: Well, it is easier if you think about them having faces or names. They’re just numbers in the hopper and when they’re numbers up…

[ Clicking tongue ]

Sharon: But you’ve not even met them. You barely know what their day-to-day jobs look like.

Adam: Look, business isn’t pretty and it’s not for everyone. I’m doing what is necessary to get mccall ready to take over newman media.

Sharon: You’ve barely gotten your seat warm in your new company and you’re already prepping to take over another one?

Adam: Look, I’m not gonna bore you with all of this, sharon. I’m sure that you have something sweeter to do.

Sharon: You wanna grab your family’s media company.

Adam: Yeah, and I want to fold it into my new enterprise: Adustus international.

Sharon: Hm. Interesting.

Adam: What is?

Sharon: Like you said, business and baking, totally different things. If you wanna make bread, for instance, you take your time. You wait and let your ingredients rest. You let them show you what they’re capable of. You care about every detail and you understand how every essential ingredient goes into making the final outcome. Wow, I just thought of that just now.

Adam: That is very fascinating. Well, thank you for the baking lesson.

Sharon: You can come out now.

Victoria: It’s not as if I demanded your team’s resignation after you took your leave of absence.

Nick: Disbanding my team should’ve been a conversation.

Victoria: Well, if they have any grievances, they’re welcome to take it up with human resources. We’ve often restructured when a top executive leaves, for whatever reason.

Nick: And what happens when I come back?

Victoria: We’ll burn that bridge when we get there. Oh, come on. I’m kidding. I would’ve thought that a little time off would’ve at least given you your sense of humor back.

Nick: Not everything bounces right back, vic.

Victoria: Yes, I know that, which is why your staff has been given other duties in your absence so that you can have time. Time to recover and to help your family heal without the added pressure of coming back.

Nick: Well, what would I do without you?

Victoria: This isn’t some nefarious plan that I set in motion, you know that, right? Dad doesn’t have a problem with it.

Nick: Just because he’s silent, it doesn’t mean he agrees. It just means he’s busy.

[ Victoria laughing ]

Victoria: Doing what?

Nick: Doing the matchmaker thing again with me and adam. He wants us to brother up at the reinvented mccall.

Traci: So, ashley’s absence is intentional.

Billy: So, this isn’t a kinder, gentler plea for family harmony like traci tried a few days ago.

Jack: If you’re preparing a lecture about abbott family unity, I direct your attention to ashley, who announced her betrayal to the press before telling her family that she had started a company behind our backs.

Traci: Yeah, yeah, not the most tactful way.

Jack: I can think of better descriptors.

Traci: Jack, she has to know the kind of push back she’s gonna get from you.

Jack: So, the family’s the last to know because she’s a coward?

Traci: Am I going to have to say this? Okay, fine. Jack, you didn’t call us together for a family meeting when you announced diane’s promotion to the press.

Diane: That’s hardly the same thing.

Traci: Oh, really? Tell me how.

Jack: This is the second time in recent memory that ashley has chosen to play dirty. She’s not discussing this with any of us. She’s not answering my questions. If she’s determined to keep us in the dark, we have to protect jabot at all costs.

Traci: Oh, I hate to ask, what does that mean?

Kyle: Hey.

Diane: Kyle, hi.

Traci: Oh, hi, sweetheart.

Kyle: Family meeting minus ashley and me. Got something to tell me, now would probably be a good time. With downy infusions,

Sally: I’ve been meaning to thank you for the card and the flowers. It was very thoughtful, especially in light of everything you and nick and faith went through.

Sharon: Well, we all went through quite an ordeal that night.

Sally: Yeah, they should really make “I heard you were a badass and I’m glad you didn’t explode” cards.

Sharon: That would be… quite a niche market.

Sally: Thankfully.

Sharon: But you and adam, you lost your baby and I know how difficult that is. People grieve in many different ways, but they say if the parents can manage to grieve–

Sally: Together.

Sharon: Yeah, I– I don’t mean to overstep or suggest that you do something that makes you uncomfortable.

Sally: Thank you.

Sharon: It’s just sad to see both of your hearts broken like that.

Sally: Yeah, well, adam’s fine. He’s back to wheeling and dealing.

Sharon: You heard him on the phone.

Sally: Mm-hmm.

Sharon: Yeah. He’s, um, firing people left and right like it’s a game.

Sally: Mm-hmm. He’s playing god with people’s lives.

[ Sally sighing ] Anyway, if you can support him in any way, I’m sure it’d be much appreciated by his family and his employees, but I… don’t owe him anything and I have given all I plan to give. Thanks again.

Ashley: A wedding gift? Isn’t that just slightly premature?

Tucker: Okay, an engagement gift. What can I tell you? I’m a giver and a lover. That’s my curse.

Ashley: Yeah, we talked about this though.

Tucker: Inside that box is your fondest wish come true.

Ashley: Oh, I find that hard to believe. In a box? One that small? I think I need to give you a little refresher course on my hopes and dreams because, um, a phone number, really?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: And whose is it?

Tucker: It’s a gentleman I know who is the key to bringing phyllis home for good.

Ashley: Oh, and phyllis is the person that could get rid of diane once and for all. This guy’s gonna make my dreams come true?

Tucker: Yes.

Ashley: How’d you find him?

Tucker: Let’s just say he is closing in on the emt who survived phyllis’ ambulance crash.

Ashley: Okay, you’re not toying with my emotions, are you?

Tucker: No, I overheard michael talking with… michael talking with phyllis’ kids yesterday.

Ashley: Mm-hmm.

Tucker: And from what I’ve gathered, this carson guy, this emt, is the key to making her self-defense claim stick.

Ashley: That’s not gonna be enough to get her off the hook completely.

Tucker: Eh. Baldwin has been known to pull some rabbits out of a hat and she’s got you and nikki newman to vouch for her.

Ashley: Oh, I hate to get my hopes up. It hurts so bad when they crash and burn.

Tucker: I understand, but if I can bring this emt in on a platter, that’ll keep phyllis out of lockup. She would be beholden to us, would she not?

Phyllis: All right, tell me, where does it stand with you and kyle?

Summer: I got a room at the athletic club.

Phyllis: You did? Oh, no. What about harrison?

Summer: Harrison, he’s confused. He’s sad. He’s trying to act like he’s brave and it just sucks because I– I mean, I love him like he’s my own.

Phyllis: I know, but this is horrible.

Summer: Yeah, kyle hates me and I– I don’t know if I can turn it around.

Phyllis: Don’t say that! Of course you can turn it around. Hate is as strong as love. It’s an emotion that is as strong as love, okay? It’s filled with passion, so just step back and let kyle sort of go through what he has to go through and he’ll come around.

Summer: I don’t think I can talk myself out of this one.

Phyllis: God, I– I feel horrible that this is happening to you. I– I– I feel like I’m kind of responsible for this.

Summer: Well, yeah. You absolutely are.

Diane: Your father wanted to discuss the landscape that ashley and tucker are creating.

Jack: Yes, we’re discussing the family company. Clearly, not a concern of yours as you refused my offer to have you stay on at jabot.

Kyle: And I was co-ceo once. Ran marchetti. I had a seat at the table making decisions, and then you choose summer and expect me be okay with scraps?

Jack: You chose to chart your own course. I am trying to respect that. You can’t have it both ways.

Kyle: Is that the new motto? Family, you’re either in or you’re out? Is that right?

Diane: No, jack.

Traci: Let’s just take a moment and everybody just– just step back.

Billy: I don’t see the big deal, okay? Better or worse, we’re family here. Let him stay.

Diane: I know. Can we just talk about this?

Kyle: No, no, no, no, no. The great and all-knowing jack abbott has spoken. Let his will be done. At least I know where I stand.

Traci: Jack, don’t let this happen.

Jack: He’s made his choice.

Traci: You did not give him any choice! Sweetheart, look at me. Look, your place is here with all of us. It is. Please, just stay.

Diane: Jack, don’t do this.

[ Traci gasping ]

Kyle: Okay.

Traci: Really?

Diane: Kyle. We always had questions.

Sharon: Victor, where did you come from?

Victor: Hello, sharon. Well, that’s a long, complicated story.

Sharon: Well, I’m glad you’re here. I need some information.

Victor: Concerning?

Sharon: Your sons.

Victor: That is privileged information.

Sharon: What’s behind your push to have nick and adam work together?

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victoria: Dad’s playing matchmaker with you and adam… again.

Nick: You think he would’ve learned his lesson by now.

Victoria: Well, there is a crazy sort of logic to it, I suppose.

Nick: Said the sister who couldn’t wait to get rid of me.

Victoria: Oh, come on. That’s not true. You know how much I love you.

Nick: Then talk to me. I mean… [ Sighing ] You wanted me out of here, so you made it happen. You can’t even be honest about it. Why?

Victoria: I’m just trying to give you time to deal with your personal life. Stop trying to make me feel guilty.

Nick: What did it have to be nate? Why didn’t you replace me with him?

Victoria: He’s more in line with the way that I work now.

Nick: Oh, ruthless?

Victoria: Admit it. You’ve never had the stomach for that.

Nick: Who’s gonna be the voice of reason for you now?

Victoria: I don’t need one. I’m in a good place. The company’s in a good place. Look, if you wanna put your abilities to good use, then maybe you should go work with adam. If anyone could use a voice of reason, it’s definitely our brother.

Phyllis: I made so many mistakes. I put you through so much, summer. I’m so sorry. I– I didn’t even realize that you still needed me.

Summer: Look, daniel and i shut you out and I– I know how much that hurt you.

Phyllis: I know, but look what I put you through. I– listen, I’m gonna work this out. I’m gonna find a way to work this out for you–

Summer: No, mom. I don’t want you to get anymore involved in my marriage than you already are.

Phyllis: No, no. Listen, listen. I’m gonna talk to kyle–

Summer: No, please!

Phyllis: I’m gonna get him–

Summer: No. Look. I know your intentions are good and I really appreciate that, but this is just something that I need to work out on my own, okay? Uh, michael said that you might be ready to stop living on the lam?

Phyllis: Uh… yeah, yeah. He’s gonna try and find carson so I can come back to town and make everything up to everyone.

Summer: I’ve been saying that we should find carson and you shot me down. I mean. What– what’s changed?

Phyllis: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe he knows a little more than we thought.

Summer: Why would you think that?

Phyllis: I don’t know. Michael’s gonna find him. Listen, you just worry about kyle, okay?

Summer: I told you, mom, it might be too late for me and kyle.

Phyllis: Nope, nope. No. It’s never too late for love. Never. Love always finds a way.

Audra: Yeah, we can– we can look into that. You know, maybe it’s time you broke away from the family. The family business. You know, grab some freedom. It’s so much easier and cleaner when you go after what you want when you want it. And to hell with expectations.

Kyle: It’s quite an offer. I’m intrigued. Newman media is going places, that’s for sure. But, uh… it’s not really a decision I can make in the spur of the moment.

Audra: Hm. It’d be a lot more palatable than working with your estranged wife. Yeah, no, I’m excited about the possibilities. Uh, let me run it by my partner and see what he has to say. Oh, yeah. I’m looking forward to growing a relationship as well. Yeah, let’s stay in touch.

Kyle: This partner, anyone I know?

Audra: Possibly. About 6’2″, eyes I can drown in and kisses that can put the curl back in my hair.

Kyle: It’s kind of bold of you to assume, isn’t it?

Audra: That you’re dying to come work with me. Um, I’m just manifesting our future.

Kyle: Hm. Well, let’s talk about my future. Your job offer. I’m interested.

Audra: See? It pays to be bold. People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. What can you do with sensitive skin?

Traci: I know that you’re upset with ashley.

Diane: But you can’t take it out on kyle.

Jack: He is old enough to face the consequences of his actions!

Diane: He’s hurting because of what happened with summer.

Jack: Yes, and this house is whole lot sadder without her here. He chose this course. We need to focus on jabot.

Billy: Pivoting to business, yeah? I suggest that we bump up the release of the teenage fragrance line. Marketing is ready to go, puts emphasis on what we actually do as a company.

Traci: Do you really think that ashley is that big a threat right out of the gate? I mean, aren’t they gonna need months to get this off the ground?

Jack: We don’t know if they’re building this from the ground up or if they bought a company that’s ready to market her products. She hasn’t told us and I probably don’t have to remind you, the last time she split from jabot, she took her patents and left us scrambling.

Billy: And this is assuming tucker’s behind this.

Jack: Oh, he has somehow seduced her into turning her back on us and make no mistake, his end game is jabot.

Diane: Then they’re both out of their minds.

Billy: Okay, we don’t have to worry about them. They can’t do anything to hurt jabot. They’ll have fun for a couple months, they’ll get bored and then they’ll be over it.

Jack: I wish I could be that nonchalant.

Traci: And I didn’t ever think I would ever live to see the day that billy is the calm and rational one. No offense, honey.

Billy: None taken.

Jack: We can’t just wait and see what ashley does. We have to act. Now. I suggest we see to it that our sister is removed from the jabot board immediately. Who’s with me?

Kyle: You like this, don’t you? Tempting me.

Audra: Oh, you like it too. You want more.

Kyle: Hm, I do.

Audra: You can have all you want, kyle. You know, I think we’ll work well together.

Kyle: How do you know that?

Audra: Intuition. You know, we have so much that we could teach each other, you know? And, uh, newman media needs us.

Kyle: Could be dangerous, mixing business and pleasure, don’t you think?

Audra: You know that feeling you get right under your skin when we’re together?

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Audra: Imagine if you could infuse that electricity and energy into our company.

Kyle: That sounds like we’d be spending a lot of time with the doors locked. You know, putting our heads together.

Audra: Tell me what you want, kyle. Just say the words and it’s yours.

Kyle: Newman media.

Audra: Mm. Music to my ears. How soon can you start?

Kyle: Oh, no. She thought this was gonna be easy. No, I’m gonna make you work for it. I may take my time, make you wait. Watch you lose all your chill.

Audra: You wouldn’T.

Kyle: No?

Audra: You know, we should have a rule: No looking at me that way when we’re in a public place.

Kyle: What is that?

Audra: Like you wanna take me upstairs and finish what you’re starting.

Kyle: Mm. Can’t do that.

Audra: Now that– that would be bad.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Audra: I have a company to run and you, uh– you know, it would be so much better if we run it together.

Kyle: Okay. What’s the pay like?

Audra: Negotiable.

Kyle: I have demands.

Audra: You silver spoon in the mouth types are just used to having it your way, right? Tell me. How do I make you mine?

Sharon: I know that you would do anything to make adam happy, including risking the happiness of your other children, but here’s my question: Moving nick to mccall, is that to save adam or is that for your own benefit? Hoping that the boys would have some kind of sibling breakthrough working together?

Victor: What makes you think I can’t achieve both things at once?

Sharon: That’s an admirable goal. Nick can balance things out, as long as adam doesn’t feel resentful for the interference and add fuel to the fire.

Victor: Nick can handle himself.

Sharon: That’s true. But is it fair to put nick in that position? Where an already tense relationship could be made worse?

Victor: You have another solution?

Sharon: Hm… I don’t know. Maybe. I might.

[Stomach growling]

Nick: I know I upset you earlier when I was talking about working with adam.

Sally: You should be able to talk about adam whenever you want. So, I promise I will try and make space for that.

Nick: Good because I could really use your advice.

[ Nick sighing ]

Sharon: Good, you got my message.

Adam: Yeah. You said I forgot something?

Sharon: Your manners. You didn’t say goodbye.

Adam: Uh, sorry. I– I have a new company to run.

Sharon: Yeah, so do I. Exciting, isn’t it? Putting all the right ingredients together. Figuring out what works, what gives us the best outcome.

Adam: Wh– what company are you talking about?

Sharon: Kirsten incorporated. Cameron left it to me in his will. So now, as a new business owner, I have a proposition for you.

Tucker: Looking a gift horse in the mouth is considered bad form.

Ashley: I very much like my wedding gift. It was very thoughtful of you, actually.

Tucker: This is– this is the guy that can keep phyllis out of prison.

Ashley: I know, listen, I realize that I’m the one that said that phyllis is the answer to our– our diane problem, but she could be creating a whole new phyllis problem. I’m not sure we should get her involved.

Tucker: Well, she won’t be involved, per se. She’s just A… she’s like a battering ram. You just gotta wind her up and point her in diane’s direction.

Ashley: Problem is she doesn’t have an off switch. If she goes rogue, bad things happen. The last time she went rogue, jeremy stark ended up threatening my family. It wasn’t good.

Tucker: Well, look at it this way. Phyllis is an apex predator and now that stark is dead, phyllis is the top of the food chain.

Ashley: Yeah, she doesn’t know how to stop. She never does.

Tucker: Well, how much harm can one person do, really? And plus, she’s there for reinforcement. She’s an added level of attack.

Ashley: It’s very risky.

Tucker: But you like risk, don’t you?

Ashley: I do. I like it a lot, actually. When it comes to business. Not so much diane and definitely not where phyllis is concerned.

Tucker: Okay. How about we not point her in diane’s direction? We point her at jack’s?

Kyle: I’ll need you to be flexible. I mean, what I need in a partner may change moment to moment.

Audra: Done. What else can I do to make this transition smooth?

Kyle: It’ll take a lot to get me to put jabot in the rear view.

Audra: Well, I promise to make you forget and give you something to…

Summer: Hi. I’m glad that I found you. Unless I’m interrupting something.

Audra: Uh, no, not at all. I was actually just on my way to the office. It’s good to see you, summer.

Summer: You too.

Audra: Oh, kyle, uh, we’ll be in touch about that other matter.

Kyle: Counting on it.

Audra: Ta.

Summer: Ta.

Billy: I’m sorry, jack. You wanna remove ashley from the board of directors?

Traci: I can’t believe you’re even suggesting that.

Jack: I don’t see how she can possibly stay. She has just created a company in direct competition with jabot and there is a chance she could take her patents and run.

Billy: We don’t know if she can do that or if that’s her intention.

Traci: We didn’t oust her when she started her own company in paris.

Jack: She didn’t have tucker dripping poison in her ear at the time.

Traci: No, I am so sorry. Daddy wanted us all to have seats on the board for a reason. I’m with billy. Ashley stays.

Billy: It’s our decision, jack.

[ Jack sighing ] Diane, you’re practically family. I assume that you’re gonna stand with your fiance? Go with jack?

Diane: Actually.

Jack: Wait, actually what?

Diane: Well, we already talked about this. Ashley and tucker can only hurt us if we let them.

Traci: And that is how those of us on the high road get the majority, which is as it should be. Jack, please don’t make this worse. Hasn’t this blood feud gone on long enough?

Tucker: Imagine what diane’s reaction would be if phyllis could get jack to forgive her?

Ashley: Yeah, but phyllis, she’s just too unpredictable. I mean, she has no censor at all. I mean, she basically despises and distrusts everybody.

Tucker: Those are all positive qualities when it comes to using her. How is she the wrong person for this job? Are you just afraid that the other side is gonna retaliate?

Ashley: Well, they will. Jack is never going to forgive phyllis. She put diane in jail.

Tucker: I don’t know. I just– I trust phyllis to find a way. And phyllis’ freedom– actually, her very existence is an affront to diane. And she can get diane off her game in ways that we never could, so.

Ashley: Okay, look, if we decide to do this, you promise me that phyllis isn’t going to get arrested, she’s not going to go into hiding, she’s not gonna get dead again.

Tucker: Nobody gets dead in this one.

Ashley: You think it’s gonna work? This operation get rid of diane?

Tucker: Just need the right players. And a yes from you. You know I love to hear you say it. Say it. Tell me to find this carson guy.

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: Okay.

Ashley: Let’s do it. Let’s get rid of diane once and for all. Yes. Yes, yes, yes.

Phyllis: Hi.

Michael: Oh– we have got to stop meeting like this. No, I mean it. Because if we don’t, you’re gonna get locked up. I mean, some internet detective with a drone up there or a police officer out on a stroll and your life on the run comes to a screeching halt!

Phyllis: Okay, listen to me. Listen to me.

Michael: What?

Phyllis: I’m running out of time. Summer’s whole life is imploding. Her entire marriage is falling apart, okay? I mean, I guess I could turn myself in, but I would never see daylight again. I have to help my daughter. I have to. At least, I have to try.

Michael: Because of your track records with relationships before? I mean…

Phyllis: I need your support. Michael, seriously. I need you. My daughter thinks that I’m to blame for her marriage falling apart.

Michael: All right, I hate to have to break this to you, but this might require more work and determination than even you possess, my friend.

Phyllis: I have to give it a try. I have to. I mean, I can’t have my daughter worried that I’m going to jail and worried that she’s gonna lose her husband at the same time. I can’T.

Michael: All right. I shouldn’t raise your hopes, but–

Phyllis: You gotta give me something. You do.

Michael: Listen to me, listen to me.

Phyllis: You gotta give me something. Did you find carson?

Michael: We are so close. If you could just hang on, just a little longer.

Summer: Could I ask what you and audra were talking about?

Kyle: She wants me to come work at newman media. Say it. Whatever it is.

Summer: Didn’t waste a minute.

Kyle: Who? Me or audra? My job as ceo of marchetti was sacrificed for you.

Summer: I’m the one that got the job at marchetti after the woman you had an affair and baby with threatened me. I left my home to protect your relationship with harrison. And– and you followed me to milan after I begged you not to. Do you remember that?

[ Summer sighing ] After I told you that we would never work together, that we didn’t belong together, you ignored me because you knew that deep in your heart that we did.

Kyle: No, no, no. Okay, okay, I’m not– I’m not doing this. Not here.

Summer: You know what? Fine. Fine. Fine. I’m gonna let you figure out where you belong now. I– I just want to remind you that audra is my brother’s ex. And he doesn’t trust her. She doesn’t seem– I don’t know, sketchy to you? Like she’s up to something?

Kyle: Maybe I do have a type after all.

[ Summer exhaling ]

Summer: You just want to hurt me and that’s fine, I get it, but I’m just trying to–

Kyle: I don’t– I don’t need anything from you, summer. I wish you the best with your choices because I’m doing just fine with mine.

Sally: So, I’m assuming this dilemma has something to do with victor asking you to join adam at mccall.

Nick: Yeah.

Sally: Okay. So, what would it look like if you did not go back to newman?

Nick: Well, vic would be overjoyed. She wants someone who’s more in line with her priorities.

Sally: Someone who brings out her vicious side?

Nick: Yeah, that is definitely not me.

Sally: And what happens if you take door #2?

Nick: If I went to mccall, I would just be a pawn in another one of dad’s games. But, if I’m being honest, it might be the best place for me right now, and if I did it, I wouldn’t be doing it for dad.

Sally: Why then?

Nick: I mean, you’ve seen adam. He’s got no one to talk to about what he’s gone through and he’s just gonna try and bury himself in his work and that will never work. Then, he’s gonna turn into the old adam again and then none of us is safe.

Sally: Wow. That was unexpected.

Nick: What?

Sally: You really care about your brother. Maybe more than you’ve ever admitted to yourself.

Sharon: You should see the condition cameron left his company in. It’s a mess, but it’s my mess. To be honest, it’s something that I never thought I wanted, but it’s funny how life throws you a challenge, something you didn’t expect, and you just figure it out.

Adam: Are– are you proposing that I buy this company from you?

Sharon: No, no. Not at all. I have the perfect recipe for success. We merge. We put it all together and turn it into one powerhouse company. We do this thing together.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Radio chatter ] Boss, I made sure brook lynn made it home safe and sound. Good. How about I take you home now? No, I’m not going anywhere until I get an update from dex at general hospital.

[ Radio chatter continues ] How about you, anna? Are you ready to go home? No. I can’t stop thinking about curtis. It’s the worst that he was caught in the middle of all of this. I mean, the shooter was aiming at one of us. Either you or me. And curtis got in the way. I really appreciate you taking this parenting class with me. I know you didn’t want to. I did it for my little brother. There is nothing that I would not do for ace. What’s this? Hanging out after class? You did great tonight. Well, I learned from the best. Epiphany always told me that I need to learn how to compartmentalize, put my fears and doubts aside and just do my job. She would have been really proud of you. The way you stayed focused on your patient, despite all the chaos. Not know ing if the shooterwas still out there, whether he was going to shoot again. You helped keep curtis alive. We did it together. Yeah. We did, didn’t we? I’m so happy that you could join me tonight. And for once, we will not squabble about the check — you paying.

[ Laughs ] My pleasure. Been a long time since we had a night out, just the two of us. I agree. Even after all these years, there’s only one thing that would make it even better. And that’s if there were three of us here. I know. Thinking about your sister, irene. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss her. Irene was so full of life. Just like curtis, huh?

[ Both laugh ] Boy.

[ Monitor beeping ]I’ll be right back. Trina: He’s going to make it, isn’t he? Tell me! Trina, honey, you’re in shock. The doctors and nurses are doing everything that they can to help curtis. That’s right. I’ve called in dr. Barnsdall, the neurosurgeon, who’s on his way.

[ Breathes sharply ] I’ve worked with him before. He’s the very best at what he does. But what if something goes wrong? Didn’t he just say that the surgery is complicated because the bullet is near his spine?

[ Voice brea king ] Does thatmean that he could be paralyzed? Yes. Yeah, there is — there is a risk. But because curtis is unconscious, he can’t speak for himself, so we have to speak for him. And the curtis ashford that I know — he would do anything, anything at all to be with the people that he loves. Anything.

[ Crying ]

I know you have curtis’s best interests at heart… …and I totally trust your judgment. It means so much to me that you have that much faith in me. Dr. Robinson. I have curtis’s family’s blessing. Do everything you can to save curtis’s life, no matter the risk. We’re going to do everything we can.

[ Sniffles ] You’re so strong, sweetie. Honestly?

[ Voice breaking ] I don’t feel so strong, mom. I’m so scared. I’m scared, too, honey. I’m so scared, too. It’s okay. You know, if irene were here, she’d tell us, “don’t dwell on the past, but look to the future.” Amazing, isn’t it? I came here looking for a son, and I found a whole family.

[ Both chuckle ] Marshall? Everything was good at curtis’s birthday party. Has something changed? It seems curtis and portia are still working it out. Okay. And what about you? What about me? What about me? You don’t think I know what losing epiphany johnson meant to you? I-I got a chance to know her. She was a fine woman. We even hung out a little bit at curtis’s nightclub. She cared about you. And you don’t have to tell me that the feeling wasn’t mutual, because I know better. Stella, I, um… I got this memory. Yeah. Right here. Right here. Just before epiphany was going off to take her mcats, she — she kissed me. Now that kiss, that — that one kiss is going to have to last me forever. Oh. Marshall, I’m so sorry. You think it would help if you talked to somebody? A professional, maybe? Like a shrink. I already have. Josslyn, I didn’t see you there. Obviously. Your girlfriend’s downstairs. Is something wrong? Trina’s dad, curtis, was shot tonight. I don’t understand why someone would take a shot at curtis. He left that violent world behind him when he traded in his P.I. License and bought the savoy. Do you think his old life followed him? An enemy from the past? I, uh — I-I-I talked to dante for a moment at the scene, and there were three shots fired. And he thinks that curtis was hit with the ricochet of one of them. So he wasn’t the intended target? Seems that way. In a way, that almost makes it worse. The randomness of it. If you and I had been at the pool instead of the restaurant… both: It could have been you. It’s no secret that my past has finally caught up with me.

[ Radio chatter ] I should have taken someone spray painting the word “murderer” on my door a bit more seriously. I just wanted to believe that it was a teenage prank. Maybe it wasn’T. Ma ybe it was a warningabout worse things to come. Three shots at long range lacks a personal touch. Yeah, you’re right. I mean, it’s military — paramilitary. Which isn’t exactly your world, is it? I-I know that you and valentin have gone into some kind of business venture together, which he hasn’t told me anything about. I didn’t for a second think that it was charitable work. Is that what this shooting has been about? Hey. Hi, sonny, anna. I came as soon as I heard about the shooting. Thank god you’re okay. Both of you. There was a shooting. You just — you need to go home. I’ll have frank — frank. No, absolutely — absolutely not. This is my hotel. How would it look to my staff and my guests if I just went and hid? My presence helps send a message that things are safe here. Besides, I’m not going anywhere until I find out if anyone was hurt. Somebody was hurt. Who was it? Sonny, please. Who was it? Just tell me. It was curtis.

Curtis was shot? Oh, my god. Is he alright? Finn and elizabeth were here. They were able to help him before the paramedics — they — they rushed him to G.H. And, you know, we’re just waiting for an update. How bad is it?

[ Radio chatter ] He was hit in the back. Oh. Was anyone else hurt? Nobody else was hurt. Well, I’m grateful for that. But who would shoot curtis? Was it someone from his past with a score to settle? Please, sonny, if you know anything, you do not have to protect me. Just tell me. It is just conjecture at this point. He was in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s it. So someone else was the target? Did they mean to finish what they started and tried to kill you? Is that it? I know life is fragile. Pretty much learn that the first day of nursing school, if you didn’t already know it. And at G.H., We see death every week in all its forms. Sometimes it’s a shock. Other times, it’s almost a relief when you see a patient struggling with a long-term disease. You know, in med school, they — they teach us that we have to build an armor against it. Because if you don’t do that, you can’t do your job. But when it’s somebody you know, someone you care about, someone you… you know, we all wake up every morning thinking we have all the time in the world. But we don’T. What tonight taught us is we should never waste a single second. Marshall ashford, I am so proud of you for seeking help. Did talking to the therapist give you closure and help you deal with the pain of losing epiphany? It helped to talk about it. But then, stella, things got even more personal. Okay, well, you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.

[ Chuckles ] Don’t you think I kept enough locked up inside me? Huh, stella? Yeah. Did you talk about your diagnosis from way back in the day? Yeah. Yeah. He said I’ve been off my meds long enough, so they have a better sense of my behavior and my biochemistry and all that. Did the psychiatrists agree with portia? Is there any chance that you were misdiagnosed with schizophrenia over 40 years ago? Stella, there’s more than a chance. It seems almost certain it was something else. Where downstairs is trina? First floor with her mom near the trauma room. Thank you. Call a rideshare to get home to ace. Josslyn: Oh, esme. Where do you think you’re going? We’re going to have a little chat.

That I just found out that curtis is my father, only to maybe lose him. Like, this doesn’t feel right. No one said that you’re going to lose him. You can’t think like that. You have to think positive thoughts. Mom, you don’t have to be brave for my benefit. You just told me that you were terrified. Yes. Yes, honey, I am. I am terrified. But I also have hope. Your father’s a strong man. And as much as you want him in your life, I know that he wants to be there for you.

[ Gasps ] Trina. Hey. Hi. I don’t think you and I have anything to talk about, josslyn. Oh, that’s where you’re wrong. You see, spencer may have done his part for his little brother. He might have come with you to this parenting class. But right now, trina is going through hell, and he needs to be with her. Well, then, I guess it’s lucky for trina that you knew where to find us. Do you stalk all of your friends? Oh, it’s not luck, actually. My grandma runs all of the educational classes here at G.H. She told me that spencer was in this class, and I think it’s a good thing that I showed up when I did. I’m on to you, esme. Oh. You’re on to me? What — what does that mean? It means I saw that tender little moment between you and spencer. What was that? Your homework? The instructor tell you to get closer with ace’s brother after class? Okay, that so-called “tender moment” that you saw was literally just me thanking spencer for coming to a class he didn’t want to go to. Oh. That is all. Yeah. Yeah. I saw exactly how you thanked him. Okay, look, I have apologized to you, but that was who I was. I am not that person anymore. That’s not good enough! Okay — you took things from me that I can’t ever get back, and you have yet to pay for them. Look, I am so sorry, but I don’t know what you expect me to do to make you believe me. You can turn yourself in. So, if the psychiatrist thought you were wrongfully diagnosed all those years ago with schizophrenia, did he say what he thought was really wrong with you? Of course not. All he said was he didn’t want to speculate without reading the original file that was written by whoever diagnosed me 40 years ago, back before computers even documented everything. Even if I was able to track down a hard copy of the file, I got a feeling I already know — or at least I think I know — what’d be on that file. You’re thinking it’s what led portia to the same conclusion? Bingo.

[ Cellphone rings ] Portia. Portia, hey. Look, I’m in the middle of something right now. Can I call you back? I’m sorry, stella, but this can’t wait. I have been trying to get ahold of marshall, but I’m not getting a response. Do you happen to know where he is? I’m sitting with him at the haven bistro. What’s wrong? Curtis has been shot. Oh, dear god. Stella? I’ll tell you everything when you get to G.H. They’re about to take him to surgery. Oh. We’re on our way. Where are we going? Just pray for curtis and come with me. You know, I was working on adrenaline tonight. And after they took curtis away and my job was done…

[ Breathes deeply ] …All I wanted was to be with you and to see your face and to hold your hand and to know that you were out of danger. I felt the same thing. I just wanted you to be okay. I learned the hard way, life isn’t always fair.

[ Sighs ] Sometimes it’s very cruel, and…bad things happen to really good people. Sometimes good people do bad things. Hey.

[ Breathes sharply ] We’ve all made mistakes. Can’t keep beating ourselves up for bad decisions we made in our past. You know, either we can’t move past them or… or what? Or we have the — the courage to admit they were just that — they were mistakes, but not failures. And we’re brave enough to move on. Maybe — maybe a little bruised, you know, but — but not beaten… …and hopefully a hell of a lot smarter. Nina, I got my share of — of enemies, but there’s no reason to believe that I’m the shooter’s target. No. Right? Exactly. It could just as easily have been someone aiming at me. Anna. No. You risked your life bringing aunt liesl home in time to save willow. Do you really think there are people out there still loyal to victor cassadine? Not mercenaries that were on his payroll, no. I doubt any of them would care to honor his memory by seeking revenge. But now that my sordid past has been publicized around the world, it’s just as likely that it was someone from my past looking for payback.

[ Cellphone ringing ]

[ Ringing continues ]

[ Ringing stops ] Dex. Any news? Yeah, uh, curtis is hanging in there. The bullet is lodged near his spinal cord, so there’s a lot of concern around that. They’re about to wheel him into the O.R. For surgery. Anything else? Look, I’m not a doctor, but from my battlefield experience, it, uh… it feels like the odds are stacked against curtis. What about josslyn? Is she with trina? Yeah, she’s here at the hospital. Alright, listen, stick close to joss. And let me know if anything changes. Anything? W-what we know right now is curtis is alive, and — and they’re going to take him right now to surgery. Okay. Alright. Well… that’s good news. It is good news. And the way you said that, I mean, if there’s good news, there’s bad news, too, right? And I don’t have to guess what that is.

[ Breathes deeply ] Do I? Curtis. Dr. Andy: We’re taking curtis up to surgery. We’re going to do everything we can, portia. I know you will.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Elevator bell dings ]

And people tell me I’m the dangerous one? When you hurt someone the way you hurt me, they pay for it. I learned that from my family. Oh, and who taught you that? Your ex-stepdad, the mob boss? I’m here to protect my friend, trina. Alright? No more, no less. You don’t have any friends, so I can see why that might be hard for you to understand. Look, I-I don’t know if spencer considers me to be his friend or not. Uh-huh. But he is ace’s brother. And because nikolas decided to skip town, spencer has been helping me with ace, and I really appreciate that. But that is all he is to me. No more, no less. Yeah, that might convince some people. I mean, it should, because it’s the truth! Look, I know all of the lies that I allegedly told you, but this isn’t one of them. And I am not the old esme. Then who are you? Because you’re still abrasive. And I wonder which psychopath did you inherit that from? Ryan or heather? How dare you?! We should not all jump to conclusions. All dex said is curtis is being sent to surgery. He — we both know he’s a fighter, right? Yeah. I have to get to the hospital. Okay, gabe. We’re going to have gabe take you to the hospital. We’ll all go. Let’s — no, no, no, no. You and anna — you and anna were witnesses. Maybe you can help the police track down whoever did this to curtis. Okay, frank.

[ Radio chatter ] Need you to take her to the hospital. Yes, sir. We’ll talk soon, okay? Okay. Alright. Take care, you. Take care. You take care. What nina said before about someone finishing what they started — what does she mean by that? You know what? She — nina always worries that I’m going to be in the line of fire, and… …it just goes with the territory.

[ Radio chatter continues ] Trina. It’s going to be okay. Come here. Come on.

[ Voice breaking ] You don’t know that. Okay, I don’T. But until the doctors give ussomething to worry about, let’s stay positive, okay? You and curtis, you guys are cut from the same cloth. What do you mean? I mean, look at the way that you snuck onto the haunted star. You stared death right in the face. You survived

everything thatmy uncle victor threw at you, and that was a lot. Where did that will to live come from, if not from curtis?

[ Crying ] On the boat and in greenland… when we were in our darkest times…

[ Breathes deeply ] …And I didn’t know if we were going to make it… …I knew that curtis was fighting for me. Well, now it’s your turn to keep fighting for him. Portia. Oh, god.

[ Breathes deeply ] Where’s my son? When can we see him? They took him to the O.R. Just a little while ago. But the surgery — it — it’s going to take some time. Oh. Oh, oh. When I got

the call,I was hoping I could see him because I never got a chance to tell him how much…

[Crying] …How very much…

[ Sobbing ] He knows. He knows, aunt stella. Don’t ask me how, but he knows.

[ Breathing deeply ] Okay.

[ Sobs ] Trying a second time… it makes me think about… when I would take the boys to the pool at the park. I remember when each one of them was finally big enough to jump off the high dive. They were fearless, you know, ’cause they had never done it before. But after that first time, especially if they had belly-flopped… yeah. They knew that jumping off was a risk.

[ Chuckles ] I know that feeling. Standing up there, looking down, thinking about… everything that can go wrong… thinking about how much it might hurt. Takes a lot of courage to takethat plunge a second time. Kind of like… when you confronted your parents after all those years. That was a pretty risky thing to do, but you seemed pretty fearless to me. I guess I was. So, tell me. Are you ready to take the plunge again? Are you?

“how dare I” what? You took a shot at my ex-stepdad. I can’t say anything about your nutjob parents? I remember the sociopath you were before you lost your memory. Josslyn. What’s going on? Is there a problem? Nothing I can’t handle. Anyway, back to what really matters. How’s curtis? They’re taking him to the O.R. For surgery. Okay, so there’s a chance. There’s always a chance. Alright, good. I’m so glad she has spencer to lean on. I should go. Um, I need to go get my child and relieve the babysitter. Um, but can you please tell trina that I’m thinking good thoughts for her and her dad? What was that all about? And why is she asking me to deliver a message to trina? Because she knew I wouldn’t do it. But I think I just caught a glimpse of the real esme. It’s just so hard for me to wrap my head around. Curtis was shot by the metro court pool? It just doesn’t seem real.

[ Voice breaking ] I wish it wasn’T. And curtis is the most alive person I know. And to think… no, no, no. Don’t think it. Just sweep those negative thoughts right out of your mind. He needs us to think good thoughts now. You have to think about how much life you have yet to share with your father. My father. I wish I knew that sooner. You can’t change the past, baby. But the fact is, you know that he’s your father now, and he knows that you’re his daughter. And, honey, if there is any justice in the world, this isn’t the end of that journey, but just the start. I wish I believed that.

[ Breathes deeply ] You don’t have to be dr. Robinson right now. You’re just a part of this family.

[ Sniffles ] My family… I never knew how much that meant to me until right now.

[ Chuckles, crying ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Portia, I am so sorry. I heard about curtis. Thank you so much for coming. No, you — you don’t have to thank me. I just need to know that he’s going to be okay. You know curtis. You know that he’s not going out without a fight. Yeah. That’s exactly right. Alright, so nina might have bought it, but you can’t fool me.

[ Radio chatter ] You’re on someone’s hit list. I thought we had an unwritten rule. We do? Don’t ask, don’t tell. Oh, that rule. I mean, I’m not going to ask you for a list of people, you know, who could be targeting you, and I would, uh, want the same kind of courtesy. Yes, boss? We’re just about to leave. Can you get the car? Right away. Yeah. Thanks.

[ Radio chatter continues ] God. Is it worth it? Worth what? This life you’ve chosen. You know. The one that chose me. Because every single choice that we have ever made in our lives has brought us to this moment — this moment tonight, this situation — I mean, from different directions, yes, obviously, but we have to face the exact same violent conclusion — that we always have to watch our backs. Let me ask you a question, anna. If you could turn back the clock and start over… …would you do things differently? I’m not sure. Would you? I think tonight’s a reminder of just how precious life can be. Curtis didn’t go to the metro court thinking he was going to get shot, just like… portia never expected she was going to have to try to save his life. None of us get promised another sunset… another sunrise. All I know is if we don’t take this chance, we may never get another one. Do you really think we can? What? You and me? Make it work? I don’t know.

[ Chuckles ] All we can do is try.

I should get home to the boys. Yeah, I’m sure… violet’s probably talked the babysitter’s ear off at this point. She’ll be waiting up for me to read her a story before going to bed. Do you have any plans for tomorrow night? No. No plans. Huh. It’s funny. I-I don’t, uh… I don’t have any plans, either. Um… could I… could I take you out? We can stay in. I would love to cook you dinner. Do you like lasagna? Lasagna? I really love lasagna.

[ Laughs ] I-I mean, um… I really like it.

[ Chuckles ] But I’m sure anything you make would be amazing. Well, then, I’ll surprise you. Okay. Why haven’t they given us any news? It — it seems like a long time since they gave us an update. Yeah, mom. You work here. Can’t you pull some strings or something? I-I know curtis is in surgery, but they can tell us something, right? Like it’s going well, or it’s not going well. Why haven’t they told us anything? I know that you’re scared. We — we all are. But the most important thing for them to focus on right now — it’s the surgery. Whatever they need to do to give curtis the best possible care — that’s the priority. So the only thing that we can really do right now is — is pray… yes, yes. …A-and be patient. Okay. Uh, let me see if I can figure something out. My family has donated a great deal of money to this hospital here — this isn’t about your family or their money. You’re so right, dr. Robinson. I’m sorry. Thank you. I know that you’re just trying to help.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Elevator bell dings ] Trina. I just heard about curtis — or your dad. I am so incredibly sorry. Thank you. Spencer and I were in this parenting class when josslyn found us and broke the news. Spencer and I, I mean — we are both just so devastated for you. Alright, let’s go. Hey, wait. Are you sure you’re okay? As long as I’ve known you, you’re normally pretty rock solid, okay? I’ve — I’ve never seen someone get under your skin like that. Well, that’s what esme does. She finds all of your buttons, and she presses every last one of them. What are you saying? That she’s pretending to have amnesia? I don’t know. I mean, her dad is ryan chamberlain, and her mom is heather webber, so… and even before we knew that, we knew that she was a sociopath. I’m more convinced than ever that that jealous, spiteful esme is in her and just waiting to come back out. Esme, I thought that you were heading home because you were so anxious about leaving ace with a new babysitter for the first time. Yeah, I just spoke to melanie, who assured me that ace is sleeping like a rock. But I’m headed home now. Um, you guys seem preoccupied, but is there a message you want me to pass on to your little brother? No, just that I’ll be home soon and that I love him. Thanks. Okay. Sounds good. Um, and when I tuck ace in for bed tonight, I promise to say a prayer for your dad. I’m not the type of person who spends time second-guessing. But when I was washed up on that river and I ended up in nixon falls without a memory of who I was or what I did… …I created a — a — a life for myself. Cowboy mike, the bartender.

[ Laughs ] And then, um, when I got my memory back, though, I-I still had a little piece of mike inside my heart. But at the end of the day… I’m sonny corinthos. Love it or hate it… …that’s the life I chose — or it chose me. I don’t — I mean, either way… …it’s my life. And I’m okay with it. I see. I’m going to go home. I’d offer to, you know, get you a ride or… except you know better. Yeah, I do. You know what? If — if you change your mind, the offer still stands. I appreciate that. You take care. Nobody loves their life as much as curtis loves his.

[ Chuckles ] And I know that because he said those exact words. He did? Do you mind telling me what he said? Oh, of course. So, we were talking a while back, and he said that he loves running that club, loves it, especially when his family can join him at night, when you and trina go there to unwind after a long day at work and school and when his dad can be there, enjoying [Chuckling] The live music and maybe singing along. And then aunt stella joins…yeah. …When we’re lucky enough to have her in town. And he said all thiswith a big smile on his face. Oh. Amen to that. Yeah. That’s a — that’s a beautiful sentiment, nina. I’m still kicking myself. All them years. All them years I wasted, staying away. I wish I had my aunt stella’s faith. Well, you might not havethe same faith in god that she does, but you can, at the very least, trust that I’m not going anywhere.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Uh, hey. This is Tripp, is, uh, is Wendy here?

No.

Oh. Uh, well, do you, uh, do you know where she is?

Yeah. She’s out at the station visiting her brother

June one.

So happy to see you. Don’t, don’t what? Don’t pretend everything is normal, like you didn’t brainwash someone late, which is crazy enough on its own. You brainwashed them to take out your romantic rival, Jim Wayne, you don’t understand. Of course, I understand you didn’t want me to attend Stephanie and Gabby’s engagement party.

Remember? You tried to stop me cause you ordered Harris Michaels to crash the party and commit murder.

3, 2, 1. Open your eyes.

How do you feel? I’m just frustrated. We’ve been working at this for hours. Doesn’t seem like we’re making any progress. Well, I, I know this kind of, the programming takes time. You’ve gotta be patient with the process and with yourself. Maybe hypnotherapy isn’t working for me

objectively. I know it’s wrong. But I still have this overwhelming urge to kill Stephan Damara.

So is Stephan on his way? I haven’t told him what happened yet. Well, he doesn’t know that you were attacked. It’s just a few scratches, but I’m sorry, I, I can’t believe that Dr. Wolf jumped me. You know what? Next time that bastard’s not gonna be, so No, no, no, no, no. Next time. Do you hear me? No. Okay. And since, uh, that old bastard and Megan are still out there, maybe you ought stay with me at least till we catch ’em.

No. Okay. That it. Thank you. But don’t underestimate me big bro. Okay? I can handle this. Plus I just wanna relax. I wanna be home in the arms of my loving fiance. God, what the hell is wrong with you?

Where the hell is Rafe? He’s at the hospital checking on his sister. Then who is in charge down here? Uh, well that would be me, obviously. Is there a problem? Yes. Ms. Trask? Yes. Can you tell me why the divers are packing their gear up? Uh, maybe because they’ve searched every inch of the river and there’s no sign of mega deira or will hem wolf.

They’re clearly gone. So I’m calling it to search. You can’t do that? Uh, actually I can, and I just did. Detective Brady, do I smell alcohol on your breath,

like sand through the hourglass? So are the days of our lives.

Alcohol. Like why would I have alcohol in my breath? I’m on duty that you are detective.

What is this? But that, um, I don’t, it just, um, like I, I dunno, you see this makeshift memorial right here? People have been dropping all sorts of things off from Mayor Carvers. So, uh, I maybe they pour one his on or right. So if I take this down to the station and have it dusted for print, the results won’t come back.

Reading for a certain Sean Douglas Brady, uh, Be my guest. If you want to waste apartment’s, time and money, that’s on you. But I’m not gonna find my prints on that then I guess we’re gonna have to wait and see.

You know, Wendy was, uh, just pretty upset with her brother last night. How was she today? Still in shock. I wish there was something I could do for her. You know, I think you’ve done quite enough.

What’s that supposed to mean? What the hell were you thinking Johnny dragging? When did your family’s party, I mean, thanks to you, she could have been killed,

Jing. One. I would never put you in danger, but you did, Lee. You let me walk into a situation that could have gone very wrong. People could have died, including me as I told Gabby and Stephan. I believe Megan, setting me up. Just stop. Stop. Okay. I know it was you, Harris Michaels said so himself. And do you know how horrified I was when I heard that I was trying to defend you, but my godly Your actions are indefensible.

No. No. You’ve got it wrong. You know, when you decided not to fight Gabby on the divorce, I felt so proud of you because I thought you were finally taking the high road, you know, trying to make up for all your past mistakes, be a better person. But obviously that was all an act, and now instead of pride, I feel shame.

I’m ashamed that you’re my brother.

I’ve been in this situation before, thanks to Megan the last time the i s a used e c t to deprogram me and it works. So why don’t we just try that again.

I don’t think we need anything that risky. I think that we can try something else. Have another resort. Because your, your programming wasn’t as ingrained as it was before, but what does it feel like? That it has a vice grip on me. I understand. We’ll try something else. Please just get the electrodes and zap the hell out of me.

Nobody’s getting zapped on my watch.

Okay. Then what?

Something new and you’re going to have to trust me.

We are using hypnosis. To go back to the moment when you returned,

I want you to remember back to the moment when you were kidnapped. Can you do that? Mm-hmm.

Tell me, tell me where you are.

I’m, I’m in a lab.

Okay. Look around. Tell me what you see.

I’m strapped down to a gurney. I’m trying to get free, but I can’t. I feel groggy. Just everything’s blurry and off. I must have been drugged. Is there anyone in the room with you?

No, but I hear voices, muffled voices. What are they saying? I can’t, I can’t make it out. I think they’re out in the hall. Wait, someone’s coming. Who is it? It’s Lee Lee. Listen carefully. Commander, your mission is to go to Stephan and Gabby’s engagement party. Once there, you will find Stephan Demara and eliminate him.

Commander, you will stop at nothing to fulfill your mission.

You lied to my face. You said you were not gonna confront Megan, that you were going straight home, and now I find you here. Well, technically I didn’t use those exact words. I only led you to believe that I was listening to your advice. Do not get cute with me right now. Now is not the time. Had you listened to me, you would be home safe and sound.

And instead you got attacked by Rolph and handcuffed to Megan’s bed. I don’t even know why I bother with you anymore. Okay, Stefan, you’re upset right now and I get it. And I agree with you because what Gabby did was reckless and dumb. Excuse me. But the important thing is she’s all right. Yes, she is. She’s also standing right here.

Yep. Trying to help you. Gabby, after you jumped Michael’s, I saving your life. Let me finish. After you dropped Michael’s, you promised me you were gonna take these risks and more. You could have gotten yourself killed. How do you not see that? You know what? I’m you. I’m not gonna sit here and get scolded like a little girl who didn’t eat her vegetables.

I’m going home Good. Unless that’s another one of your lies. And I’m gonna get a phone call later that I don’t know. You went to question Hannibal Lecter and ya ended up in the bottom of a freaking well. Oh yeah. Well, the woman who spoke to Lecter and went after the killer, she’s a hero of this story. She saved the day and rescued that woman from the.

Does that mean what I think it means?

Does that mean what I think it means? You don’t wanna know.

Don’t you think? You’re being a little harsh. Mui moi. What happened to family loyalty? Family loyalty. Lee, you’ve lied to my face. You told me you were moving on. You even said you hired a matchmaker and then you attempted murder.

Wait a minute. That day I overheard part of your phone call. You said something about a big plan.

When I asked you about it, you claimed you were talking to a matchmaker, but you weren’t. You were talking about planning to kill stuff. It, look at me. Look at me.

What is wrong with you? When did you become so unhinged, so venal that you would go to such extremes to get what you want? Why couldn’t you just let Gabby go? Who are you to lecture me about letting go? You’ve been stringing along two poor stops for months.

Okay, back up. First of all. I didn’t drag Wendy along to that party. She was happy to come along with me. And second of all, how was I supposed to know that her crazy brother was planning to assassinate my Uncle Stephan? Please, you know damn well that putting someone in a room full of de mayors is like dropping them in a shark tank at feeding time.

Are you even listening to me? Wendy’s brother Lee Shin hired a hitman to kill my uncle. Stephan Demara, you know, the victim and all this. Selma doesn’t keep up with current affairs. What are you talking about? Your aunt Megan Demara was also apparently involved and now she’s on the lamb.

Maybe it’s slipped your mind, Misra, but we have more pressing matters to attend to, such as Megan Demara being on the loose, and yet you. You’re more concerned about, uh, a stupid empty liquor bottle. Yes, I am a hundred percent concerned detective. So maybe I’ll just take this out to the police lab and find out if it’s really yours.

Stop.

Fine. It’s mine. Are you happy now? No, I’m not happy. Why the hell would I be happy about a police officer drinking on the job? Actually, I’m a detective and currently right now I’m doing nothing. I’m just standing around waiting for the divers to report back. It’s not. It’s not like I’m in some high speed pursuit.

It’s not a big deal. Of course, it’s a big deal. You are an on duty cop. You are carrying a gun. You can’t have your judgment impaired. Does it look like my judgment is impaired? Yeah, actually it does. Why else would you prematurely call off a search for a a dangerous psychopath and her evil sidekick? Hey.

Nobody wants to find Megan more than I do. Okay? Nobody. But look around. She’s gone. And even if I, whatever, if I’ve had a few, it’s not like I can’t spot a submarine. I mean, for all we know, she’s sailed off into the land of blue meanies. You know what? Maybe you’re right. Maybe it doesn’t make a difference whether or not you’re drinking on the job.

Matter of fact, maybe you should have started knocking them back sooner. Maybe if you had a few, you would’ve been so quick on the draw when you shot your own father. Don’t

go to hell.

I want you to listen to my voice and accept what I’m telling you.

Lee Hin was the one who wanted you to kill Stephan. He put that idea in your mind and you did not want to do it.

Just keep saying it over and over. And over. It’s getting to me. It’s getting into my head. I understand. You have to ignore that. Don’t listen to it. Don’t listen. Can you do that?

Okay. Okay. Okay, good. Let’s go over this one more time. But this time you’re an observer, not a participant.

Listen carefully. Commander, your mission is to go to Stephan and Gabby’s engagement party. Once there you will find Stephan Deira would eliminate him. Commander, you must stop at nothing to fulfill your mission. Furthermore, you will believe it was who gave you the orders? Not me. If anyone should ask why you want to kill Stephan?

You are to blame Lee Hin.

It wasn’t Lee,

Dr. Wolf and Megan did this. They framed him.

You compare. My being indecisive with what you’ve done. Oh my God, Lee, do you do, do you even realize how insane that is? You have to judge me for being conflicted about not being able to choose between two guys for you to judge me for anything. I was only trying to point out that most of us are somewhat irrational when it comes to matters of the heart.

Yeah. Irrational doesn’t even begin to explain your behaviorally. And as for whom I choose to be with, I am not stringing anyone along. Okay. I, I am trying to figure out responsibly who is better suited for me. I am in the rare position of having two great guys wanting to be with me, and yes, it is flattering.

It’s so confusing. And difficult,

but I will make my choice at some point. And unlike you, I won’t be committing any crimes along the way. I didn’t commit a crime, Wendy. I told you that I was set up. Why the hell won’t you believe me? I dunno what to believe about you anymore, Lee. Well believe this.

I care deeply about you, J one, I think the world of you, and I only want you to find happiness, so will you at least allow me to offer my. Further Lee perspective.

Sure. Knock yourself out. Okay. I think you do know, maybe not consciously, but on some level, which one of those young men you are more drawn to, which one of them will give you what you need,

but because of your big heart. You’re reluctant to hurt the one that you’ll eventually have to reject, and that’s why you’re vacillating. Am I right?

I’ll take your silence as confirmation, and so I advise you, my precious sister not to procrastinate any longer. Take the stress off yourself. And relieve those young men of their uncertainty, their need to compete for your affection. Make that choice.

Wow. Yeah. I knew my aunt had locked my dad and Aunt Kristen in the basement, but I didn’t know she was trying to have my uncle’s stuff and killed. Yeah, just more proof that your family’s dangerous. So if you really care about Wendy, you’ll keep her away from them being awfully judgmental. Don’t you think I have a good reason to be judgmental?

I mean, I’m a victim of your crazy family too. Remember? That had me kidnapped. Oh, oh, yeah. Yeah. I do remember. I remember because it was right after your crazy mother kidnapped my grandma Susan, who is now dead because of your mother. So, I don’t think you get to criticize my family when yours is just as messed up.

My mom has a mental illness. Yeah, I heard about that. I bet she’s faking it. Just like she’s faked everything else. You best watch your mouth hear me. You’re the one who started this taking shots at my family, but I don’t think that’s what it’s really about. Your anger. See, I think it’s about Wendy and I think that you’re afraid.

That you’re gonna lose her to me.

Coast Guard’s gonna be keeping an eye out from Megan’s submarine. I’ve already alerted Isa. They’re gonna be checking international waters. Hopefully we catch a break. Thanks for the update, commissioner. No problem. Anything else? I’ll be in my office. Actually, there is one more thing. You need a fire Detective Brady over there for drinking on the job.

Look, first I gotta say that I’m getting really, really frustrated and kind of embarrassed in this little ridiculous competition we have between us. And although a part of me would just prefer just back out all together and just tell Wendy that I am done humiliating myself to try to prove that I’m more worthy of her devotion than you are for another part of me knows that’s do.

That would be to give up on her,

huh? I feel the same way actually. Okay, then okay, then let’s just. Stop with the, oh, I’m better for Wendy than you are. I’m, I’m closer to her than you are. I spend more time with her than you do. It’s just all juvenile and petty, don’t you think? I do think. All right, so given that we both don’t want to be petty or juvenile about this anymore, I say we both just do our best to be mature.

And dignified through all of this. Stop trying to prove who, who’s gonna make Wendy the happiest or who’s the better person. Just be ourselves. Let Wendy make up her own mind. I’m all for that. Me too. Let’s hope Blake like hell. You chooses me. You, you couldn’t give mature and dignified much of a shot.

Could you? Come on, man. I’m kidding. I’m, but really, I, I think the best thing we can do is just give Wendy her space and be patient. Yeah. Patient. Patient. You know, I’m trying to be patient with you, Lee, allowing you to weigh in. About my left life when it is totally irrelevant to why I’m here right now. And as I’ve said before, there is no comparing my indecisiveness to you committing a felony brainwashing someone to have someone else killed.

Why do you continue to accuse me when I never admitted that I did either? But clearly you want the moral eye ground and I will happily conceded to you.

You know, instead of being glib, maybe you should start figuring out a way that you’re gonna get out of this mess you’ve made for yourself. And if by some miracle you do find a way out, maybe consider this a wake up call. Because it would be a shame to throw your entire life away over a woman who has made it abundantly clear.

She doesn’t want you

top three. And he confirmed Pento means exactly what I thought it meant. I am not an ungrateful ass, coulda fool me, really? So I’m the bad guy here for caring about you, for worrying about your safety. Huh? For getting upset that you deliberately put yourself in harm’s way for no good reason. I had a good reason Steph and Megan has to pace.

She tried to kill you, and in turn you almost got yourself killed. Well, I’m still here. One piece. Why? Why are you being so stubborn about this? Why are you being so angry about this? Because you scared the hell outta me. Do you have any idea how freaked out I was when I heard what happened to you? I’m fine, but you almost weren’t.

It could have been so much worse

if Megan really was the one who wanted me dead, she would’ve had no problem knocking you off too,

and I never would’ve forgiven myself.

You are my entire world. Get me. You’re fine too.

Why are we fighting? Because we’re good at it, but we’re good at other things too.

I mean, it, it’s, it’s all coming back to me. Lee Chen didn’t order me to kill Stephan was Dr. Wolf. I, I, I’m pretty sure I didn’t even see Lee in the lab, but Wolf wanted me to think so. So I would blame Lee,

now that you remembered all that. When you see Stephan Damara, how do you feel?

Hi.

I, I don’t, I don’t feel anything

and those thoughts of wanting or needing

to kill him are gone.

Dr. Evans, I think you did it.

Well, it must be some sort of mistake. I have worked with Detective Brady for a long time, and there’s no way that he would ever drink on the job. Down at the docks, I smelled alcohol on his breath. At first, he tried to deny that he was inebriated, but when pressed, he admitted it. Is this true? Shawn?

I think that we, uh, we should discuss this in private commissioner, what is there to discuss? Detective, you drank on the job endangering the public commissioner. This man should be fired immediately. Yeah. To ask, this is my department and I suggest you focus on your own. Oh, I would much prefer to do that, but.

I can’t prosecute criminals if you can’t catch them. Mm-hmm. Maybe it would help if you didn’t have a bunch of drunks and losers on the payroll. Oh, well, as I recall, we actually have a suspect in there right as we speak. So maybe instead of worrying about my job, you should focus on yours and prosecute Lee Chen.

Now, if you excuse me, I have to take this. Hi, Marlena. Yeah, well, how’s it going with Michaels? What? Well, that’s great news.

Hey. Sorry, I yelled. I’m sorry too that I lied. Made you worry. I guess I just felt like I needed to take control of the situation. You. Take control of a situation. No, it’s, it’s so outta character. Stop. I’m being serious. Ever since Michael just showed to our party, I stopped thinking about how I could lose you again.

You don’t know what that’s like, lose here thinking that you’ve been gone forever. You’re right. I, I get it. I guess I’m the lucky one, huh? I didn’t have to live without you. Hard to have your heart broken when you’re in a coma, huh? Yeah, but easy to have it ripped outta your chest, literally. Hmm, true. Good point.

But hey, you didn’t have to suffer the way you did.

I mean, it was so stupid leaving your side that night to help my mother escape. That was such a bad decision. Obviously, and I suppose that tonight I made a similarly bad decision, one that could have torn us apart again. Okay, so how about we make a pact from here on out? We work as a team. After all. We are getting married in what, two weeks?

You’re right. No, you’re right. And then we’re going rogue. So we work together. We have a deal. Deal.

So you believe that leash Chen is innocent? I like if he was involved. I have no way of proving it. I, I never saw him. Mm-hmm. But what I do know is Dr. Rolfe implanted the idea that Lee was behind everything.

Okay. Well if you think of anything else, please let me know. I will brave. Now that he has been successfully deprogrammed, is it all right for him to go? You’re absolutely sure that he’s no longer a threat to Stephan or to anyone else. I will verify that myself and, uh, I’ll also testify in court that he was not responsible for what he did, and I can even submit a, an official report if that’s what you would like, I would.

Thank you. Does that mean I’m stuck here In the meantime?

Well, if Dr. Evans says that you are fine, then um, I’m not gonna argue with her. Listen, not. I wanna be keeping a close eye on you. And if for any reason that I deem you are a threat to anyone in Salem, I’m gonna slap these things right back on you. Understood. Yes, sir. Okay.

I have nothing to say to you. Not without my lawyer present. You don’t have to say a word just. Listen, Harris Michaels is changing his story. He, um, is walking back his accusation that you were the one who. Sent him to murder. Stephan Damara. Hmm. Told you I was innocent. Well, I’m not so sure about that, but lucky for you.

The only other people that can confirm or deny this new revelation have fled Salem in a submarine.

Does this mean that? I’m free to go.

So if you, uh, don’t mind. I’m gonna hang around for a little bit. Wait for Wendy to come home. What happened to give her space? Oh, you’re not doing that because I happened to live here, which is an unfair advantage, as you well know. And, and what happened to, you know, being mature about all this? Okay. Being mature doesn’t mean I’m willing to have you barging in here whenever you want to.

Putting your feet up on our coffee table.

Better.

Look, this is my apartment. I share it with Wendy. If you wanna hang out with her, you do it on your own territory or at least neutral territory. Fine. I’ll leave, you know, you know what I’ll do is I’ll, um, I’ll just call Wendy, invite her over to my mansion, uh, where our private chef is cooking up a delicious dinner tonight.

We’ll have a nice evening. Wow. Are you really going to start out how freaking wealthy your family is? Do you really think Wendy give the damn that you live in a mansion or that you have a live-in cook? I don’t think she minds it. Maybe she doesn’t mind it, but she also doesn’t give a rat’s ass, and she’s not a shallow jerk like you are.

You know, she cares about things that matter, like character intelligence. Oh, okay. So, so what you’re saying now is that, that you’re smarter than me, that you have more character. Well, guess what that is cool. Just, just go, man, disco. All right. Like I, I, I really thought that we could get past this whole teddy craft, but clearly I was wrong.

So just, just leave. Nah, I think I’ll stay. Hell, you will get outta my car. I can do that. Wait, Wendy, like that man. What, what is going on here? Uh, Wendy. Hello? I just was, uh, coming by to see how you were doing. Yep. And clearly she’s fine. So we’ll be seeing you, Johnny. Mm-hmm. Although, actually before you got here, uh, Johnny and I decided to be mature about this and not.

Petty and obnoxious and juvenile, but clearly he’s incapable and I don’t blame him.

Actually, I, uh, don’t blame neither of you for hating this. I stringing you both along, so it’s time to put an end to it.

Dr. Evans, thank you. I’m in your debt. Not at all. I am glad I could help though. And after everything you’ve done for me, I. I hate to ask for another favor. Oh, all right. What is it? I want you to have me committed to Bayview.

Thank you for letting me know. Yeah. Talk soon. My brother, apparently Michaels had a breakthrough and remembers that he wasn’t. Taking orders from Lee that, that this was a lie that Dr. Wolf implanted in his head. So EJ and Kristen were remembering accurately. They were telling the truth that Megan set Lee up.

Maybe I just can’t help shake the feeling that Lee’s and involved somehow, Wendy said Lee freaked out when she said she was coming to our party. He had to have known something. And if Lee ends up going free, he’ll definitely come after you again. I can’t let that. I mean, we can’t let that happen. That’s right.

We’re a team now.

No match for us.

So as a verdict, I spoke with Commissioner Hernandez and he confirmed that Harris Michaels can’t place you at the lab that he was being held, and he clearly remembers Dr. Rolf. Instructing him to put the blame on you. So you have nothing on me. You have to let me go for now, but I wouldn’t get too comfortable Mr.

Shin. So I’ll have my eye on you cuz I don’t like people that get away with crimes. Didn’t you decline to press charges against Talia Hunter when she poisoned half the town, including you? That young woman was in an emotionally abusive relationship. You know what my decisions are of no concern of yours.

Some might say I was in a emotionally abusive relationship with Gabby Hernandez. You really are an arrogant son of a bitch. An arrogant son of a bitch who’s free to walk outta here. Correct? Right after you get someone to uncuff me. This is the second time you’re slipping through my fingers, Mr. Shin, and I promise you next time you won’t be so lucky.

Hey, man. Um, thanks for having my back with Trask. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Well, I don’t take my orders from Trask. But I can’t ignore the fact that you have been drinking on the job. I, I promise it’s never gonna happen again. Oh, it’s just a one time thing, right? Except that it wasn’t right. What do you mean, Shawn? Come on.

Trust isn’t the only one who has noticed that you have been off your game. You’ve been late to work, your work’s been sloppy, you’ve been distracted. I mean, look, I’m trying to cut you some slack cause I know you were upset about your father. But I can’t look the other way anymore. Not anymore. What are you saying?

I think you need to take some time to get your act together. So until further notice, you are suspended from the force.

Johnny Trip. Look, I like you both a lot, but hitting you guys at the same time, it isn’t fair to anybody.

So it’s time for me to finally make a choice.

You mean like right now? I think it’s for the best.

Okay. Uh, Well then who is it gonna be? Is it gonna be me or…?

I– I– I try to keep my head up around here. But I am lonely. And it’s just nice to know that someone is thinking about me, that I really haven’t been forgotten.

Deacon: Well, like the song goes, honey, “you are unforgettable.”

Sheila: I’m just glad that I’m being remembered for the right reasons. Someone who doesn’t think that I’m hateful. You know, someone that actually has good memories of me. Oh, I miss you. I miss you a lot.

Deacon: So he’s already spilled wine all over his shirt, right? Then goes in for the tiramisu with the fork, almost puts his eye out. Finally, finally, he gets the nerve to propose. You know, he gets down on one knee, completely takes out the table next to him. I’m like, “this poor guy.”

[ Sheila laughing ]

Sheila: We all know that proposals can be dangerous to your health, right? Oh, too soon?

Deacon: Yeah.

Sheila: Just tell me, did she say yes?

Deacon: Yeah. Thank god she did. I mean, I can’t even imagine the carnage had she said no.

Sheila: Then, that proves it. You see, there is definitely somebody out there for everyone.

Deacon: And I think people, sometimes they just get each other. You know, panic induced flaws and all.

Sheila: I am so happy for you. Really. I– I know that I am stuck in this hellhole, but I– I am so happy to see that you’re thriving. I mean, no one deserves to be happy more than you. I just wish I were there to share it with you.

Wyatt: Look, I know this stings, but we’ve all made mistakes. I mean, come on. Hope’s forgiven you for a few over the years.

Liam: Wyatt, this is not like, oops. It’s thomas, okay? It’s thomas. And she let him put his hands all– no, it’s worse than that. She had her hands all over him.

Wyatt: Okay. You know what? Listen to me. Listen to me here, okay?

Liam: I’m listening.

Wyatt: You’ve got to let that go. Hope loves you. And deep down I know– I know you don’t want this to end.

Liam: Rj.

Rj: Hey.

Liam: What are you– how are you here?

Rj: Listen, listen. I just came from talking with hope about the whole situation with thomas and she’s devastated. I know I’m just her younger brother, but hear me out. You gotta take her back.

[ Thomas and hope panting ]

Hope: Um, I have to admit that I have thought about this moment probably more than I should. Yeah.

Thomas: [ Laughing ] Yeah?

Hope: [ Laughing ] Yeah. What it would be like for you to touch me. To hold me. And I have to say, my imagination, um… wasn’t even close to the real thing. Where are you going?

Deacon: I know that you said that this place has taken a toll on you, but I gotta tell you, all things considered, you look pretty damn good. I mean in a, you know, female prison movie kinda way hot.

Sheila: Yeah. You know, they’re gonna come in here any second now and tell us that our time is up. But I really don’t wanna talk about this place, okay? Because it really– it sucks. It really sucks that I’m stuck in here.

Deacon: I’m sorry.

Sheila: Don’t be. You– you have no idea what it means to me that you came to see me here today. Really, that there’s still somebody out there that… that cares about me.

Deacon: I will always care about you. Against all reason and my better judgment.

Sheila: [ Laughing ] Come on. You know, I’m fun to hang around. Never a dull moment.

Deacon: You are a regular carnival ride.

Sheila: Who knows, right? Could have happened if I just hadn’t messed up.

Deacon: Yeah. Yeah, I know.

Rj: Listen, I’m not excusing what hope did, all right? I know the whole history with thomas and everything he’s done to your family. I can’t even imagine the hurt of seeing her kissing thomas in front of the colosseum.

Liam: Yeah, rj, I’m not getting that outta my head anytime soon.

Rj: Look, I know, it’s gonna take time, all right? Hope knows that. But look, she’s willing to do anything to fix this, liam. Come on. You gotta fight for your marriage, all right? I think she deserves a second chance.

Wyatt: He’s right. At least try.

Rj: She loves you. Obviously, she really– she loves you. Just you. And despite all of this, I think that you still love her. I mean, you guys have been through so much worse than this and you got through it. And you got through it because you went through it together.

Wyatt: And you can go through this together too.

Rj: Liam, if you leave her right now, it would destroy her. Don’t walk away over one mistake.

Hope: It was amazing. You are amazing.

[ Hope chuckling ] This is so not like me. Oh, my gosh, thomas. You know, when I first started having feelings for you, it’s just terrified me. And not because of how you’re probably thinking. It’s more because I just didn’t understand it. And so I blamed work, blamed stress, I– I blamed my mom and her history and… her past mistakes and relationships.

Thomas: Do you feel like you’re making a mistake?

Hope: I hate that I hurt liam. And I hate that I hurt my family. I hate that. But how can this be a mistake when what we shared feels so right? I mean, it’s like how when we design and when we create together and you just are able to finish my sentences. It’s like you know what I’m thinking before I even do. You know what I want before I even know that I need it.

Thomas: I just drew thinking about you, your– your boldness, your drama, your sexiness. All of it I just… it was all just you. Every piece.

Hope: Something so beautiful, it just… it can’t be wrong. This has to be right. Febreze!

Deacon: I will always care about you, but–

Sheila: But nobody can know.

Deacon: I– I’m sorry.

Sheila: I’m not. I am not sorry for the time that we shared. I promise you, I would never mess anything up for you. Although, probably never happen being stuck in this hellhole, most likely for the rest of my life. It’s just, I– I can’t help but wonder what might have been… if we’d met earlier, or in another life maybe. I just really wish I could have your arms around me again.

Rj: I get it, all right? I sympathize with you. I understand what the stakes are here.

Liam: Have you ever been betrayed by the one person you’re supposed to be able to trust?

Rj: I don’t– I don’t know. Okay? I’m not telling you how to feel right now. I’m just saying you’re– you’re in a fight, okay? And you’ve been knocked down and that doesn’t mean that you should just give up. That– that is when you get up and you start fighting. Especially when you’ve got something worth fighting for, man.

Wyatt: Exactly. I like this guy.

Rj: Listen, hope has one of the biggest hearts of anyone I know, except for you. If anyone, anybody is capable of forgiving her, it’s you, liam.

Wyatt: He’s not wrong. I mean, if nothing else, you owe it to yourself to give your marriage another chance.

Rj: You gotta fight for it. Fight for your marriage. Liam, you need to fight for your kids. I– I guarantee you that if you just stop right now and just tune all of this out and just listen to your heart, it’s gonna lead you back to hope every single time.

[ Thomas sighing ]

Thomas: I can’t stop thinking about how you’re such a good person. You are. But I– I feel like I’m still kind of the bad guy.

Hope: Oh, my gosh. Stop. Thomas, you’re not fooling me. Okay? I know who you are. And that’s not you anymore. You’re loving and you’re devoted and you are honest. You know, when it came to relationships, up until now, I’ve always been so afraid to act on impulse. Scared to, you know, I don’t know, chase after something forbidden. I mean, look at my dad. That’s a perfect example. I could think of a few others, but this…

Thomas: Yeah, sometimes you just– you can’t see what’s standing right in front of you.

Hope: Well, I see you and you’re not what people think. I mean, strong-willed and opinionated, sure, yes, but you are also… gentle, intuitive, creative. I mean, you couldn’t design the way you do if you weren’t all those things and more.

Thomas: I– you have no idea what that means to me.

Hope: Well, I see something else there too. You’re faithful. You’ve said that from the beginning.

Thomas: It’s true.

Hope: And you have no idea how much that means to me. More than you will ever know. (Michael) copd is harder on the folks around you, I think.

Wyatt: You’re a good brother, rj.

Rj: Hope’s always looked out for me. I’m just returning the favor.

Wyatt: You can do this, liam. You know you want to and don’t even try and deny it. And I know it’s gonna be hard. Of course, it’s gonna be hard. For both you and hope, it’s gonna be a lot of work, but she’s worth it. You know she is.

Rj: You mean everything to my sister, man. I think you should give her another shot, all right? I think she deserves a second chance.

Wyatt: Or at least try. I’m telling you, man, you’re gonna regret it if you don’T. Rj is right. Go to hope now before it’s too late.

Hope: I feel like I can tell you anything and you won’t judge me.

Thomas: You didn’t think you could do that with liam? Sorry, I don’t have to bring him up if you don’t want me to.

Hope: Well, I mean, if it wasn’t for liam, we wouldn’t be in this situation right now, probably, right? If he didn’t end the marriage so abruptly and go running to your sister. Ooh. Sorry. Yeah. I probably shouldn’t talk about that right now when we’re like this.

Thomas: Oh, I– I– I did it first. It’s all right.

Hope: Look, thomas, this is what I will say about that. You know my relationship with liam is complicated. And being with someone whose feelings are divided between two women that just– I know he loves me. And I know he loves my family, but I also know he loves steffy. And that’s just always been in the background. It’s always taken up space in our relationship, but I mean, hell, even he’s given into temptation a time or two, right? And I’ve forgiven it, but… I haven’t forgotten. And maybe it’s just been too many times over too many years and I just found myself wondering… what it would be like to be with someone where I came first. Where I was the only one. And when I’m with you, thomas, you make me feel like I am the only woman in the world. When you look at me like that, you make me feel… I don’t know, desired, respected… loved.

Phyllis: Hello, stranger.

Tucker: Hey.

Ashley: What?

Tucker: No, no, no. Right over here.

Ashley: I heard you the first time.

Tucker: So you’re ignoring me.

Ashley: Kind of. I’m trying to get together a list for the recruiter so that when you actually meet with them, you’ll have something to–

Tucker: Yeah. I’m trying to capture the perfect image of you. Look over here.

Ashley: I’m right here. Have at it.

Tucker: Give me something. Oh. Yeah, that’s hot.

Ashley: Great.

Tucker: Come on. Come on.

Ashley: Stop it! You’re the worst.

Tucker: Yeah. And the best thing that ever happened to you.

Ashley: No. Vice versa.

Tucker: All right. We’ll call it a draw. There it is.

Ashley: All right. Let’s call it a draw.

Diane: Ugh! Oh, for the love of god, get a room.

Ashley: Ah.

Daniel: Jack.

Jack: Daniel, how are you?

Daniel: Suddenly feeling optimistic, thank you.

Jack: I’m not sure what I did, but you’re welcome.

Daniel: You’re talking to me after everything my mother did to disrupt your family, so I’ll count that as a blessing.

Jack: You are not responsible for your mother’s actions. And I got enough good things going on in my life. I am not gonna waste my time worrying about what phyllis is up to.

Daniel: I suppose if you fake your murder, you have to deal with the fallout.

Jack: But she stays away and she’s not doing that, right?

Daniel: [ Chuckling ] And the longer she stays away, the worse she’s making things.

Jack: I know this has been very difficult on summer. You are keeping an eye on your sister, aren’t you?

Daniel: You know how she is.

Jack: Oh, she loves to battle. Tells you she has it, and often she does.

Daniel: Sometimes she needs help.

Jack: I feel a whole lot better knowing you’re there when necessary.

Daniel: Doing my best.

Jack: You’re a good man, daniel.

Daniel: I had first-rate role models.

Jack: So other than this ongoing issue, your life is good? Daniel? I’ll take that as a yes.

Daniel: Hm?

Billy: No, I agree with you. It goes without question that ashley should have notified the board of her decision to leave the company before it was leaked to the press. I have not talked to her yet, but I’m sure I’ll learn more in the next few days and I will, uh, I’ll keep you in the loop, okay? All right. Thank you. And just like that. See, that’s what happens when the press and the board members have your cell phone number.

Summer: Oh, I guess you’re gonna have to change it then. Wish every problem had such an easy solution. Hey, could I bounce some ideas off of you?

Billy: All due respect, summer, I’m up to here with ashley’s departure from the company. So whatever it is, if you– if you don’t mind,

Summer: Wait. Seriously, you can’t deal with more than one problem at a time? Billy, do you want an overview of what I’m dealing with right now? I– I think you can spare me five minutes.

Billy: Okay. Sure. What is it?

Summer: Marchetti.

Billy: Kyle’s out. You’re now taking over the ceo chair and you need a new creative director.

Summer: What did chelsea say after I offered her the job?

Billy: I don’t think she’s ready for that step yet.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Any other suggestions?

Billy: What about italy? Is there anybody there that you trust that has similar sensibilities?

Summer: No. Nobody that I would trust in this position.

Billy: Okay. Well, maybe you need to go back there, where it all began. Try and find the right person.

Summer: That’s not a real suggestion. That’s an evasion. Wow, you really must not have time for me.

Billy: Summer, you gotta be kidding, right?

Summer: No. I mean, kyle wants me gone. Maybe you’re doing the whole united front thing and freezing me out. Why not? It’s not like I’m family anymore. Febreze!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Lily: I didn’t know you were gonna be here. Hello.

Daniel: Esther told me where I could find you.

Lily: Oh, are you stalking me? Is this ’cause of the video conference about the gaming division that I had?

Jack: Judging from the smile on her face, I think you’re about to get some good news.

Daniel: That is not why I wanted to find you. I have my own selfish reasons.

Lily: Okay.

Jack: Okay. I’ll bite. How’s the gaming division?

Lily: [ Laughing ] I think we should order some champagne.

Daniel: Are we celebrating?

Lily: It is official. Omegasphere has caught fire in south america.

Jack: Wow.

Lily: Yep.

Daniel: Okay. Well that– that is great news.

Lily: Yeah.

Jack: That’s fantastic. Hey, congratulations all ’round. Uh, how’s that feel?

Daniel: Um, I don’t know. I’ll– I’ll let you know when I land. This is incredible.

Lily: I know. I mean, I knew it was gonna happen, right? It takes one person to love it. They spread the word and it spreads like wildfire.

Jack: Well, you two clearly have a lot to celebrate. I’ll leave you to it. I wish you the best.

Daniel: Thank you.

Lily: All right. Bye, jack. Well, I’m very happy that current events haven’t damaged your relationship with jack.

Daniel: I suppose he’ll always have a place in his heart for me as his stepson.

Lily: That’s nice. It’s good to have people like that in your life.

Daniel: It is. It is. And, you know, when you find those people, you should let them know how much they mean to you.

Lily: Are– are you talking to me? Have I let something go unsaid?

Daniel: I have.

Ashley: What are you doing here, diane?

Tucker: Yeah, diane. What are you doing here? Don’t you have a job?

Ashley: Yeah. Shouldn’t you be at jabot exploiting your position and the title that you definitely don’t deserve as you slowly grind away at my father’s company?

Tucker: Ooh, I love it when you use the word grind.

Diane: Ugh! You two are ridiculous.

Ashley: What?

Diane: You know what? And I am sick of your accusations about me and my intentions and my position at jabot. Everything I have, I’ve deserved.

Ashley: [ Chuckling ] Right.

Diane: You know what, ashley? You just hate me because you can’t admit to yourself that you still hate him.

Tucker: Yeah, ashley.

Ashley: She’s right. I hate you. I hate you so much.

Tucker: I hate you too.

Michael: Is this what people on the run do for thrills these days? Hide in plain sight?

Phyllis: Well, I was going stir crazy. Um, I needed a little fresh air and sunshine.

Michael: Oh, you know who else likes fresh air and sunshine in this park? Christine, the da who’s dying to drag you into court and see you wither way behind bars.

Phyllis: Christine. Listen, I can see christine a mile away.

Michael: Well, the police officers are looking for you too. So, if your freedom’s worth anything, stay hidden until you come to your senses.

Phyllis: Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. All of this hiding in the shadows and sneaking around, it taught me something. I know where I belong.

Michael: Look at me.

[ Michael grunting ] I’ve seen that look in your eyes before. It’s never good.

Phyllis: Daniel texted me. He said that summer and kyle broke up because of my beef with diane.

Michael: I’m sorry to hear that.

Phyllis: Oh, that’s the man of her dreams. All ruined because of diane’s resurrection. But you know what? It’s time for restorative justice.

Michael: What does that mean exactly?

Phyllis: That means I can’t do anything and fix anything hiding under a rock.

Billy: Look, I’m not gonna pretend to know what’s gonna happen between you and my nephew, okay? But even if we’re not family–

Summer: What? We’ll always be friends?

Billy: I was gonna say business partners, but sure, friends works here too. Look, yeah, I told you to go back to italy, but I don’t want you to leave. I’m not trying to banish you.

Summer: Could I get that in writing?

Billy: Get it notarized. Summer, you need to surround yourself with the people who know you best, okay? Before all this mess with phyllis screwed with your confidence. Everyone back in italy that didn’t make the jump that you did, they’re still talking about you. They’re raising a glass to you. Probably sharing the legend of the american girl that saved the company, that saved their jobs, okay? That’s not a small feat.

Summer: What good is it if I can’t even save my own marriage?

Billy: You’re a leader, summer, and you’re a damn good one. Go back to doing what you do best. Find a creative director. Run marchetti like the powerhouse you are. I believe in you. So does everyone else.

Summer: I screwed up, billy.

Billy: Yeah, you did. But you’ll fix it. And trust me, if I can change, so can you. Hi.

Jack: Hey. Got a full house. Anything I need to know? Please tell me now so I don’t have to read it in a press release.

Summer: Just bouncing some ideas for the new creative director at marchetti off of billy.

Jack: Sounds like the wheelhouse of our new chief talent officer. If you need a c-suite employee, diane’s the one to talk to.

Summer: Um, I wanna handle this hire myself.

Jack: Okay. Whatever you need.

Summer: Great. Thanks, jack. Thanks.

Billy: See you.

[ Billy exhaling ] Well, feels like we’re only a few steps away from doomsday. Whole thing’s about to go.

[ Imitates blasting ]

Jack: Feel like a day at the races here? Try spending some quality time at the abbott house.

Billy: Let me guess, ashley and tucker.

Jack: I am trying, billy.

Billy: Yeah.

Jack: If I could harness that strength and patience it takes not to give ashley a piece of my mind every time I see her, I could power the city of chicago. How could you walk away from the company like this? No word, no warning, no conversation. What has she become? Dupixent helps you du more with less asthma.

Daniel: Just a rough cut. Kind of my favorite distraction. But I– I thought you might like to see it.

[ Daniel sighing ] You might wanna say something before this gets real awkward. No, no.

[ Laughing ] Oh, come on. Don’t look at me like that. You’re gonna make me blush. Do you like your birthday gift or not?

Lily: Do I like it? The all-knowing, multi-talented, multitasking queen of everything that grows and business. Is that me?

Daniel: Queen liliana.

Lily: Aw. I’ve never had anyone create an entire universe for me.

Daniel: It’s surprising because you deserve all that and more.

Lily: I am honored. Thank you.

Daniel: Mm-hmm.

Lily: [ Chuckling ] Uh, excuse me. My game is on that tablet, so that’s mine now.

Daniel: No, no, no.

Lily: What are you doing?

Daniel: Your gift was that you got to see it.

Lily: I order you. I– I order you to give that back to me.

Daniel: Nice. Yeah. You know, you play your cards right maybe I’ll hire you to do the voiceover for the final product. But until then, queen liliana belongs to me.

Lily: Okay. What do I have to do to get a copy?

Daniel: Well, I thought you’d never ask.

Billy: And it’s been like that all day. Nonstop messages, request for interviews, the whole thing. I mean, I literally had to shut my cell phone off.

Jack: Take it up with our sister.

Billy: Yeah. No, thanks. That’s on you. I don’t know what she’s thinking. I mean, she leaves the family company without notifying the family? Not even a sticky note in the fridge saying, “adios, jabot, I’m outta here. Have fun.”

Jack: She wanted to punish me, billy.

Billy: Is there any way for her to take her patents and run? The way she did last time she tried to undercut the company?

Jack: No, I think we took care of that when we merged the two companies before, but legal’s looking into it just to be sure.

Billy: What is this thing they’re building? How long have they been working on it behind our backs?

Jack: Who knows? Did they buy an existing company or starting from scratch?

Billy: Good questions. No good answers.

Jack: When ashley gets angry, she gets quiet and sneaky. And she is furious right now.

Billy: And she has the perfect partner in tucker. Poster boy for unhinged and unpredictable. You look in his eyes and you know that there’s nothing he won’t do.

Jack: Which means this could get very ugly.

Tucker: Hey.

Ashley: Huh.

Tucker: Look at the happy couple.

[ Ashley mumbling ] What happened to you? Where’d you go? You disappeared the second diane left.

Ashley: She loathes seeing us together.

Tucker: Oh, yeah. Makes her skin crawl.

Ashley: Yeah. I loathe seeing her in my home. I wish she would just go somewhere. I mean, anywhere but here.

Tucker: As much as I would love that for you I don’t see it happening.

Ashley: Why not?

Tucker: Why not? Because she’s got the perfect life now. She’s got a corner office of jabot and the adoration of a powerful man who will give her whatever she wants. She’s here for keeps unless something changes.

Ashley: Well, we were not effective.

Tucker: You’re just too polished and refined to get in the dirt with diane. And that’s where this game needs to be played.

Ashley: Yeah. Actually, there’s only one person that could finish this off once and for all. Phyllis.

Michael: Well, I’ve talked to diane and assorted witnesses, and now it’s time to talk to, um, you, the actual murder victim.

Phyllis: You wanna know everything?

Michael: From the day you met stark to the day he died. Every embarrassing, self-centered, disgusting detail.

Phyllis: Disgusting? Seriously, what do you think I’ve been doing?

Michael: Oh, you are capable of many things, my friend. The majority of them good. Look, why don’t you just give me a timeline and maybe I’ll be able to give you something that will help strengthen your case.

Phyllis: Get your ducks in a row?

Michael: Precisely. But one– one question. Why didn’t you trust me? Come to me when all this started?

Phyllis: It’s complicated. I needed to do this alone. Seriously. And I didn’t think that I had anybody to turn to.

Michael: Me. Always for anything.

Phyllis: Okay. Well, there were things I needed to do alone. I couldn’t involve anybody. But now it’s time to change. And I know I can’t do that without you.

Michael: Change into what, may I ask?

Phyllis: Into a new phyllis. A good phyllis. A– a better, new improved phyllis.

[ Phyllis laughing ]

Michael: You have all my faith.

Phyllis: [ Laughing ] Great. And I can’t do it without you.

Michael: No, you can’T.

Phyllis: I love you.

Michael: I got you, beautiful.

Phyllis: Okay. So… do you wanna know the whole story? Okay. Well, this is the story of how I died.

Trelegy for copd.

Jack: Hey, if you have real solutions for how to mitigate the effects of ashley’s latest move, now’s the time to speak up.

Billy: We need a secret weapon. We need something big. We need to push up the release date. How about the teenage fragrance line? It could be good. We’re what, a month or two away from marketing?

Jack: Yeah. Yeah. That’s feasible.

Billy: Well, ashley and tucker talked about using social media stars in their new venture. So we go bigger, right? Bigger names, bigger celebrities, sponsor concerts, do the whole thing. And for our more established customers, we go classic and iconic. Whatever ashley does, we do bigger and better.

Jack: I’m glad one of us is able to think strategically.

Billy: You can’t take this personal, jack.

Jack: Yeah, that’s exactly what it is though! A basic disrespect for each other and a profound dislike for our respective future spouses.

Billy: That is fine, but we we have a business to run, okay? And as far as these battles, the merchandising and the marketing, I can handle those with my hands tied behind my back. But the hurt feelings, the distrust, the resentment among the soon to be newlyweds, I’m out. That’s all you.

[ Jack sighing ]

Daniel: So the birthday girl wants a copy of the game I’m working on.

Lily: I’m royalty now, so I’m not gonna negotiate.

Daniel: Oh. Well, what will you do if you don’t get your way?

Lily: Psh. I’m gonna, you know, I’m– I’m gonna stop time. Yeah.

Daniel: What would we do with all that time on our hands?

Lily: I don’t know.

[ Laughing ]

Summer: Uh, excuse me. Would it kill you to check your messages?

Daniel: I’m sorry, I was busy. I shut my phone off. Is there an emergency?

Summer: Did you get the messages from michael? He wants to meet with us now. I’m sorry, lily.

Lily: No, no, no. It’s fine. Um, I have to get back to the office, so thank you again.

Daniel: Hey, hey. Before you go… part of your present. Some might say the best part.

Lily: Thank you. And call me. We’ll keep celebrating.

Daniel: It seems like there’s always something to celebrate when you’re around.

Lily: [ Laughing ] Okay. Bye.

Summer: Bye.

Daniel: Right. Okay. Um, what do you think this meeting with michael’s about?

Summer: I don’t know. I’m guessing he talked to mom and maybe he wants to prepare us for the next part when she turns herself in.

Daniel: Look, I know that this whole thing is scary. When you lose a spouse, you feel like you’ve lost a part of yourself, and then it’s you against the world. Every day’s a battle.

Summer: You know what, daniel? I’m fine. And you make a lousy shrink anyway.

Daniel: Well, I mean, you were spinning out earlier.

Summer: My company is going through a major upheaval right now. So, what do you– what do you want from me? It’s– it’s not bad to have emotions. It’s not like I’m running around punching walls or anything. I just wish that I could talk to kyle about all of this. I wish that I could tell him how much I love him, how much our marriage means to me. I just wanna show him that I can be better because I can.

Daniel: I know.

Summer: If he would just let me in, you know, let me love him. Just everything feels wrong when we’re apart, you know? Look, I– I know that I did a bad thing. I know. And I’m– I’m sorry for it, but he hates me. He used to say that we belong together, and now it’s like we’re complete strangers. I just… wish that he would let me fix it. I don’t think I’m gonna get another chance though.

Phyllis: Again with your watch. My goodness. Are you meeting lauren?

Michael: I’m meeting your children.

Phyllis: Oh, you are?

Michael: Mm-hmm.

Phyllis: Really? Can I go? I’ll hide. They won’t even know I’m there.

Michael: Phyllis, stop. It’s only sheer luck that’s kept you out of police custody.

Phyllis: Yeah. Someone up there likes me.

[ Clicks tongue ]

[ Chuckling ] We’re like this. You like me too. You like me too. You’re a good friend, michael.

Michael: I’m the best friend. Even if I weren’t your attorney, all your secrets would be safe with me.

Phyllis: Just the ones you know about.

Michael: Including the fact that you’re nervous about coming home and not just about the charges against you.

Phyllis: Nope.

Michael: You have got a lot of making up to do. Go on an apology tour. Do good works.

Phyllis: Ugh!

Michael: Yeah. Expect nothing, but be grateful for every little bit of forgiveness you get. But toy with my emotions, I’m your friend. I’m your buddy. I’m used to it. But when it comes to your family and the people who trust you…

Phyllis: Well, when it comes to the people who trust me and my family, of course, I owe them an apology and I will tell them everything that happened the night I died, and when jeremy stark tried to finish the job.

Michael: You ready?

Phyllis: Yeah. I mean, I just, um, I wanna just sit here for a bit, you know, and just breathe the air and feel the sunshine, you know, before the wrecking ball sets in.

Michael: The situation will be easier once you face it. You want more time, I’ll give you more time, but even my patience is waning.

Phyllis: Yeah. I just– I just wanna sit here for a bit, you know, and relax. I– I’ll– I’ll call you when I’m– I’m ready to get rid of my disguise.

Michael: Don’t make me wait too long.

Diane: Phyllis!

[ Diane scoffing ]

I have type 2 diabetes, With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com listen, your deodorant just has to work.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Diane: Wow! You’re not even trying to hide anymore.

Phyllis: Diane, I was just–

Diane: Why, why, why? Trying to have a few minutes of normalcy before your bestie holds your hand all the way to jail? That’s a lot more than I got. I was dragged away from your phony memorial so fast, I didn’t even have time to say goodbye to jack and kyle.

Phyllis: You survived.

Diane: You know what? I should call the police right now and have them take you away. So why don’t you say your goodbyes, phyllis? Who first? Michael and lauren who defended you even though you didn’t deserve it? Or what about daniel, who will be so relieved not to have your drama in his life? Or– or maybe summer. How could you say anything to her after your actions have ruined her life?

Phyllis: Listen, I will fix this. I will make amends to my children.

Diane: No, not to them. And not to jack.

Phyllis: Jack?

Diane: Yeah.

Phyllis: You know what? He will open his eyes to you because somebody will show how dangerous you are. I just wasn’t able to do it.

Diane: No, you sure weren’T.

[ Chuckling ] You know, what a disappointing end for you. No family, no friends, no witnesses. If you disappeared right now, people would just think you pulled a phyllis and ran away like the coward you are.

[ Phyllis sighing ]

Billy: That sounds great. Just run it by pr, please. Thank you. Well, there’s our newest hire, our chief talent officer. What do you think about ashley’s betrayal? Because let’s call it what it is, right?

Diane: Well, since I’m the reason that ashley’s gone into overdrive, I took the liberty of issuing directives to hr and legal.

Billy: Busy day for the corporate lawyers. I tell you that much.

Jack: They’re well paid.

Diane: It is imperative that we shore up our team. We need to make sure everybody has signed non-disclosures and non-competes. If they’re not satisfied, we make them that way. If they’re already happy, we make them happier. Our goal is to make sure that no one flips and joinsof fools.

Jack: It’s all right. I appreciate the loyalty.

Billy: Like I said, jack, diane and I can handle it until you get caught up. But we can only go so far without you ad infinitum, right? What doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger. It’s gonna hurt. There’s gonna be some growing pains, but we take a pill and we move on. And with that, excuse me, you two need to talk.

Diane: Okay.

Jack: Why is our happiness such a threat to almost everyone I know and love?

Summer: No sign of michael. Has he sent you any more messages?

Daniel: Like behind your back?

Summer: Uh, I’m not being paranoid. Chance told me that the minute that they find mom, they’re gonna come after me. So, yes, I’m worried with good reason.

Daniel: Well, don’t be mad at me. You let her put you in this position.

Summer: I was put in this position the day that I was born. I mean, how do you– how do you do it? You just stop being her child. How– how do you not care what happens to our mom?

Daniel: Oh, I care. I do care. I care within certain boundaries.

Summer: You know what? Yes. I helped her without hesitation. You wanna know why? Because she would’ve done the same thing for me and for you. Daniel, we turned our backs on her before. Before this half brain plan that she hatched with stark. And look at how that turned out.

Daniel: I know. I wasn’t there.

Summer: No, you weren’t there for me and you never are.

[ Summer exhaling ] I have risked it all for mom. I’m this close to losing everything that I have ever wanted in life. I’m the one that’s paying the price for her death. You wonder why I’m spinning out?

Phyllis: “To summer, daniel, michael, lauren, all my family and friends, and you know who you are. This time away has not been easy and you are the ones who have suffered. Listen, I apologize for that. I’ve made mistakes, but I’m learning from them. Um, I’m turning it around, making changes. And it’s– it’s time I realize that I’m defeated. There’s no way I’ll get my life back or have any peace. I guess I need to face it. Diane won.” Feeling sluggish or weighed down?

Summer: Michael, what’s the news? How’s our mom?

Michael: Brace yourselves. I think she’s ready for her comeback.

Diane: I say let ashley and tucker spread their misery. Who cares? Who cares? We have a wedding to plan. I have a fantastic new job. And I am not going to let anything overshadow that.

Jack: Wow. Look how good you are at turning things around.

Diane: Mm. Well, I’ve eaten prison pizza. I can survive anything the two of them dish out. And so can jabot. We’re strong. And competition only makes us stronger, especially when it comes from someone who knows our weaknesses. We stand guard.

Jack: I like seeing this side of you.

[ Diane laughing ] Marry me now.

Diane: What?

Jack: Yeah. I mean it. Tell me what you want and let me make it all come true.

Diane: It doesn’t matter where or when. All I want is to be your wife. Aw.

Ashley: You know, when I think about what I heard that phyllis had died, I mean, completely blew my mind. As annoying as I’ve always found her, thinking of the world without phyllis in it was just insane to me and I’m so glad I was right.

Tucker: Still missing in action though.

Ashley: Yeah. She can’t stay away forever.

Tucker: Yeah. But even if she comes back, she’ll be so busy fighting the charges against her, she won’t have time to rid genoa city of diane.

Ashley: Is there a plan going on in there? What, huh?

Tucker: Well, we could certainly ramp up the pressure on diane. A few more of those, uh, public displays of affection. A little more intense. Um, constant chatter about our new venture. Connubial bliss.

Ashley: Yeah. We already tried that, tucker.

Tucker: Ah, hot tub.

Ashley: What? You wanna drown her?

Tucker: No, no. I wanna sit naked in it with you while we have a constant stream of whatever music she detests, uh, playing loudly. Uh, while we, uh, laugh obnoxiously and smoke cheap cigars, the aroma of which will waft into her sanctum sanctorum. Doesn’t that sound nice? I can hardly wait to get started. It’ll be my wedding gift to you, my dear.

Ashley: What a glorious gift. Thank you so much. But maybe we should start just a little smaller, something you can actually guarantee, like the headhunter that we need. I want the best in the business. And if we have to go after somebody from jabot, so be it. If you can make that happen, I’ll be the happiest bride in town.

Tucker: Ah, how lucky would I be to be the guy that– to make you the happiest bride in town. Ugh!

Ashley: What?

Tucker: Thanks very much. You’ve made me late. I’m so mesmerized by you, I lose track of time.

Ashley: Yeah. Flattery will get you everywhere.

Tucker: Yeah. Well, wait ’til you hear me waxing poetic about you and smooth jazz while I sit naked in a hot tub.

Ashley: I like the naked part.

Tucker: Wait ’til tonight.

Ashley: Bye.

Tucker: Bye. Overactive bladder? I’ve been there.

Jack: I mean it. I have never wanted to just run away more than I do right now.

Diane: Where would you go?

Jack: Anywhere with you. I just– I don’t wanna stay here where people can’t be happy that we are happy.

Diane: So where would we go?

Jack: Private islands, places you’ve never dreamed of, the south pacific. We could build a lifetime of memories in the sand.

Diane: We can’t do that.

Jack: Sure we can. Why not?

Diane: Because. Anyway, running jabot is excitement enough. Jack, all I want is you.

Jack: You have me. Any time zone, any hemisphere, any climate.

Diane: Sweep me off my feet, why don’t you?

Jack: I have waited for this part for a long, long time. I get the girl and I get to ride off on the sunset with her.

Diane: You are irresistible.

Jack: It’s my curse.

[ Diane laughing ] What do you say? Will you come with me? Will you be my girl?

Phyllis: Defeated? Diane won? No. What are you doing? Who am I? No, phyllis. Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete. Diane won. Uh-uh. No more hiding. This is done. I’m coming out of hiding. Ready or not, here I come, guys. And this time, guess what? I’m gonna finish what I started.

Daniel: Have you managed to work out some kind of deal with the da?

Michael: Not formally. Turning herself in now was phyllis’s idea.

Summer: Why now?

Michael: You. She feels guilty and not about stark. That was undeniably self-defense. She feels responsible for the state of your marriage. She wants to help. But with any luck, I’ll be able to prove that phyllis was the victim of coercive control. Stark manipulated her into fleshing out his plans to get revenge on diane and to get his hands on phyllis’s fortune.

Daniel: And how will you do that?

Michael: Carson, the emt, he dealt with stark. He knew what a psycho he was. He knew exactly how far that man would go.

Daniel: Great. Where is he?

Michael: That’s a good question. Even victor hasn’t had any luck yet.

Summer: And I mean, even if we do find him, it’s gonna be difficult to convince him to come forward because of the charges that he might be facing for the part that he played.

Michael: It’s a tall order.

Summer: We have to try. This is mom that we’re talking about. We need to fight for her the way that she would for any of us. No one is untouchable. We will find carson. Somehow. We have to.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Zeke. So this is why you’re not taking my calls, huh? On a little date with jordan? Portia, that’s not what’s — what else did valentin say to you? Gun! Everybody down!

[ Gunshot ]

[ Indistinct shouting ] Get down!

[ Shouting ] Down! Down! Down!

[ Gunshot ]

[ Woman shouts ] I’m here, boss!

[ Gunshot ]

[ Indistinct shouting ] You ready to dance? Thought you’d never ask. You guys coming? Uh, mom and I are gonna wait for kristina. Yeah, I’ll be there in one second. I just have to… okay, well, don’t be too long.

[ Dance music plays ] Well, I’m glad. It looks like molly’s feeling a little better. Yes, I’m very glad that she’s given herself a break from all the pressure she’s put on herself. We just have to really make sure that molly knows that she’s not alone in this. Molly knows that we all have her back. Of course. I just — I know that it’s their decision, but selfishly, I really hope that they move forward with having a baby. Well, I mean, so do I. But if that’s what makes them happy. We’re t going to pressure them into anything, right? No, of course. Of course. Yeah, I know. I just — I just wish there was something we could do to help them make this decision easier. That’s it. Why didn’t I think of that before? It solves so many problems. I m– I mean, it’s perfect. I shudder to think. What? Wait. What’s your big idea? I can be molly and tj’s surrogate.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Dance music continues ]

[ Suspenseful music plays ] Molly. C-can we sit somewhere separate? Like, as isolated as possible? Okay, but why don’t you want to be around your mom and your sisters? Because I may have to kill my sister. God, I missed this. I feel like all I do is run from one disaster to the next, trying to figure out who’s mad at who.

[ Chuckles ] I feel like we haven’t even done something like this since high school. Things sure were a lot simpler back then. Yes, they were. For one thing, we didn’t have boyfriends who couldn’t stand each other.

[ Exhales deeply ] You’re late. I know. I’m sorry. I got held up at work. How’s ace? He was asleep when I left. Hey, I can’t wait for your grandmother and kevin to get back from searching for nikolas. I’ll feel way more comfortable rather than leaving him with a strange babysitter. Melanie is one of the quartermaine nannies. She’s doing this as a favor to me, and her credentials are impeccable, esme. But my child has already been kidnapped once by your demented relatives, so forgive me if I’m a little overprotective.

[ Chuckles ] It is complete fine with me if we bail on this class. This was your idea.

[ Sighs ] This is detective chase with the pcpd. Yes. Three shots wer e firedat the metro court pool. No, I wasn’t present at the shooting. I-I’m in the restaurant. I don’t know if anyone was hit. Gabe, can you see the shooter?

[ Crowd gasping ] No sign of movement. Somebody already called it in? I’m outside by the pool where the shots happened. Sounded like it came from above, from a hotel room. I’m going in. Copy that. Chase! Hey. What happened? We heard gunshots. Oh, thank god. Uh, I need your help. Come with me. I’m with the pcpd. I need everyone to stay right where you are.

[ Crowd murmuring ] Curtis? Good. Swat’s on the way? Curtis?! Curtis?! Zeke: Wait, wait, wait! Portia, portia, portia! Curtis! Wait, wait, wait, wait! Zeke, curtis! No. No, no, no. No, no, no. No.

[ Breathing heavily ] No!

Portia. No, no, no. Portia, what can I do? I need towels to stop the bleeding.

[ Breathing heavily ] No, curtis, come on. Ay with me. Come on, let’s go. Let’s go! Move, move, move! Stay here. Gabe, did you see where the shots came from? I didn’T. I was in the entranceway on guard. I ran out by the pool area as soon as I heard that first gunshot. Okay. No, don’t do this. No, no, no.

[ Whispering ] Here, portia. There’s so much blood. I don’t know the damage that the bullet did.

[ Breathing shakily ] Come on. Stay with me. Stay with me, curtis. Please, stay with me.

[ Sobs ] Portia? Portia? It’s finn and elizabeth. Let us take over, alright?

[ Sobs, sniffles ] It’s okay. It’s gonna be okay. Jordan, what happened? Portia, it’s okay to let go. Alright? We got this. Trust me.

[ Crying ] Okay. Okay? Alright? It’s gonna be okay. He’s gonna be alright, I promise you.

[ Crying ] Ready? Let’s go.

[ Portia crying ] The entry wound is in his back.

[ Crying continues ] I know it’s rare for me to defend spencer, but his dislike of dex started out because… I handled my breakup with cameron very poorly, and I should have broken up with him… before I started seeing dex. It just — it started the night I was attacked by the hook, and emotions were running high, and I wasn’t thinking.

[ Breathes sharply ] And it’s not an excuse. But I think that spencer just wants to have cameron’s back, and I think that that’s a good thing. His bad impression of dex is really about me. And besides the whole cameron situation, I think that spencer is just intimidated by dex. Really? Why? Well, spencer throws his wealth around, and it also makes him defensive about being dismissed as a spoiled rich kid. He has always wanted to come across just as tough and just as smart as anybody else. And dex works for his uncle sonny. You know, I think that spencer just wants to prove that he’s just as tough as dex. Yeah, I think you may be right. To be clear, I’m not okay… with how spencer’s been acting towards dex. But dex can defend himself, you know? As far as the fake evidence goes, I think that spencer really took what you said to him to heart because he’s taking a whole new approach with esme. What do you know about his new approach to esme? My suggestion that we take this parenting class was genuine. I really want us to work together as a team, and I want us to be able to cooperate for ace’s sake. But it doesn’t seem like you want to cooperate with me. What do you think I’m doing here, esme? This is me cooperating. I am the one who’s here. You’re the one who just said that you don’t want to be here. Whoa, I never said that. I said that I was uncomfortable leaving my son — something that you can never understand because ace is not your son! Sounds like you two are here for the parenting class. Come on in. As soon as molly was diagnosed with endometriosis, I immediately made an appointment with my ob. Do you have it, too? No, I just thought that — I don’t know. I thought maybe it was hereditary. But I am happy to tell you that I am in excellent health. Plus, I’m the right age, and I share dna with molly. I’m not currently in a relationship, and I don’t have any immediate plans to have a child of my own in the near future. So that puts me in the perfect position to carry a child for molly and tj. Sweetie, I know that you want to help your sister, but I think offering to be a surrogate at this juncture is — is a bit premature. What did kristina do now? How do you know it was kristina? Because she’s the one that pushes your buttons. I’ve never heard you threaten to kill sam. I wouldn’t actually kill kristina, either. I just feel so out of control these days, that I-I could see myself losing it on her and tearing into her and doing damage that would be irreparable. Why would you be tempted to do that? Because she wants to be our surrogate.

I think the shooting stopped. No, we don’t know that. Um, but — the shooter could be waiting for one of us to come out. I’m gonna try and pull up a floor plan, see if we can figure out where they are. Good idea. Sonny! Damn it, dad! What are you doing?! I’m ending this! Come on!

[ Breathes sharply ] We need to be careful here. The entry wound is near his spine. There’s heavy bleeding that I’m trying to stop. I don’t understand. Who would want to shoot curtis?

[ Siren wailing in distance ] I don’t think he was the intended target. Grandma bobbie told me she saw spencer and esme had signed up for a parenting class together at G.H. Does your grandma teach the class? No. No. She just oversees all of the outreach classes there, and she saw their names. She mentioned it to me the other day. She said it looked like spencer was starting to make an effort with esme. It remains to be seen whether or not she’ll reciprocate.

[ Scoffs ] I just hate the thought of spencer spending even more time with esme.

[ Chuckles ] I agree. Evening, ladies. Oh. Can I offer you a cold beverage? I brought iced lattes. That sounds wonderful.

[ Chuckles ] Perfect for a hot summer night. What are you doing here? You told me to swing by when I got off work. I did, didn’t I? Welcome to the class, everyone. And first, might I say congratulations on signing up. Plenty of people will tell you parenting comes naturally and you shouldn’t need instruction. And in fact, this is not a “how to” class, because there is no magic formula. No strict regimen on how to parent. What works for one child doesn’t necessarily work at all for another. Yes? You have a question? Yes. I’m sorry. Um, if this isn’t a “how to” class, then what are we doing here? Good question. This class is about strategies for cooperation between parents — how to communicate, how to make room for each other’s opinions, and, yes, even sometimes learning to compromise. Now, it doesn’t mean always getting along. It means being able to negotiate, to avoid ultimatums because children can sense tension. And when the parents are at war, the one who suffers is the child. First of all, um, it was only a few months ago molly wasn’t even certain that she wanted to have a child. And sadly, uh, that option to do it biologically has been taken away from her, and she’s devastated. They’re both devastated. But I’m pretty certain that this is not a good time to make any rash decisions or any grand gestures, right? Because they need to regroup, they need to heal, they need to figure out even if they want to have a family, and what that family may look like, and maybe it’ll be a surrogate, maybe it won’T. But now is not the time to do anything. I could not disagree more. And why did I think you were going to say that? What if there’s less time than they think? I know that kristina wants to help, that she thinks that she’s helping, but what she’s really doing is just throwing it in my face that she has viable eggs and a healthy uterus and I don’T. That she can get pregnant and carry a baby, no problem. And she’ll get to experience all of it — the life growing inside of her and pregnancy and labor and giving birth, and I won’t experience any of it. And once again, it’ll be the “kristina” show. Not even the worst thing that’s ever happened to me gets to be about me. It’ll all be about her. Not to me.

[ Radio chatter ] I can’t believe how fast the swat team got here. They had to declare the building safe before the paramedics could come in. I’m his wife. I want

to ride in the ambulance, please. Let’s go. Let’s go. Ready to go? Ye. Let’s go. I can give you a ride to the hospital if you want. We’re crime scene witnesses. We need to stay and give our statements. What? No, no. Hold on a second. Uh, excuse me, detective? I re ally want to takms. Ashford to the hospital, and I want to be there for my sister, portia. Can we give you our statements later zeke, it’s okay. No, no, no, no, it’s fine. Well, did you see the shooter, or do you have any information about the shooter that could help us? No. Then you better take her to the hospital. Okay. Thank you.

[ Radio chatter ] Chase, anything? Hey, you realize that was reckless? You shou have stayed hidden, the way your son directed you to. I don’t know what you were thinking — stepping out in the open like that. You made yourself a target. It was a calculated risk. I assumed the shooter was gone, and that was the quickest way to prove it, so that the paramedics could help curtis. I came up to the pool to talk to my dad. I-I saw a rifle barrel. I yelled for everyone to take cover, and a shot went off around the same time. Do you know which room the shot came from? Well, I don’t know what room it is, but it’s that window right there. We got to search the whole building. We already did a preliminary sweep of the building to make sure it’s safe to allow the paramedics in. Our team’s clearing the hotel, room by room. Well, I heard three gunshots. Yeah, I heard one hit the water, one hit here, and the other one hit this way. And I think curtis got hit by a ricochet. Okay, dex, you can have my spot on the blanket. Wait, where are you going? Are you still mad at me about punching spencer? No, no. You ha– you have to stay, please. I want my best friend and my boyfriend to get to know each other better, please. See, I like that idea. Please. Why don’t you tell me one of the many things that you know about joss that I don’t?

[ Sighs ] Well, if you’ve ever seen her play volleyball, you know how competitive she is. Oh, I sure do.

[ Laughter ] That’s true. That — that is true. Yeah. [ Laughs ]

[ Laughs ]

[ Cellphone ringing ] It’s work. I need to take it. Ugh. Alright, fine.

[ Ringing continues ] Gabe, what’s going on? I need you to alert the rest of the team. There’s been another ambush at metro court pool. Wait. What? Where’s sonny? Is he okay? I think he was the target, but I can’t be sure. There was one person who was shot, though. Uh, yeah. Thanks for letting me know. Hey. Everything okay? What’s wrong? There was a shooting at the metro court pool. Oh — oh, my god. Is everyone okay? Uh, one person was shot… curtis ashford. Remember, people, this is not a test. It’s just an exeise to see how your expectations match up with your partner’S. If one parent wants the child to go to bed at 6:00 and the other wants them to stay awake until they fall asleep naturally, that’s going to be a point of friction. The goal is to answer honestly. Truth is the best starting point. What? I put 7:00 P.M. That’s your rule, right? What — that’s what time you put ace down. Well, it’s — it’s not exactly m-my rule. It’s what the books recommend. But honestly, in filling this out, I realized that I never asked your opinion. So… what time do you think ace should go to bed? Isn’t what’s happening to molly a cautionary tale of what happens with the mistake of waiting too long? By the time she was diagnosed with endometriosis, it was already too late — her eggs were no longer viable. All because she waited too long. Please never, ever make that argument to molly. No, of course not. I’m just — my point is, I’m healthy now. I’m single now. I’m at a place in my life where i can carry a child. And I don’t know how I’m going to feel in two years. Maybe I’ll have met someone by then. God willing, I will have met someone by then. I just — I think if I am going to do this for my sister, the sooner the better. You know, over the years, I’ve witnessed kristina’s tendency to make things all about her. When you achieve something, it’s almost like clockwork that she has a crisis to refocus the family’s attention on her. So whether we choose to have a child or not — and how we go about that — that’s a decision for us to make together. Kristina will have nothing to do with it.

[ Indistinct conversations ]

[ Monitor beeping ] What do we got? Gsw to the back. Bp 70, palp. Pulse 140. Lost a lot of blood. Glasgow coma score 1/1/1. Let’s get him into trauma one. Did you use spinal precautions? Yes, and there was a physician on scene.

[ Beeping continues ]

[ Portia sobs ] The shot went this way. Oh, dante. Oh, I’m so glad you’re okay. Hey. Yeah, yeah. I heard that someone was shot. I’m just glad it wasn’t you or your dad. Um, yeah. Yeah. Curtis ashford, unfortunately, wasn’t so lucky. He was shot in the back. Oh, that’s horrible. Yeah. He’s at G.H. Doctors are looking after him now.

[ Sighs ] What are you doing here? This is a crime scene. No, I know. I-I just gave a statement to a cop in the restaurant, and she said it was safe to come out here. Look, I know that you’re working, okay? And I-I promise I’m not going to get in your way. I just — I had to see you. Keep my eyes on you. With the other thing that’s going on with my dad and now this shooting tonight, I just — I want you to know how much you mean to me, okay?

[ Nitor beeping ] Okay, team. Patient has a gsw to the back. We’re going to continue spinal precautions. We were in the restaurant when we heard a gun fire, and detective chase asked for our help. And when we got out here, we saw… curtis ashford lying on the ground unconscious because he had been shot in the back. Alright. Thank you. If we have any more questions, we’ll contact you. Thanks. Oh, hey, I wanted to thank you for your help before the paramedics got here. Anytime. You guys are free to go, okay? Thank you. Thanks, dante.

[ Radio chatter ] You know, if curtis lives, it’ll be because of your quick actions. No. I couldn’t have done it without your help. Let’s just pray that it’s enough. It was such a beautiful summer night.

[ Radio chatter continues ] Can we get out of here? Yeah.

[ Radio chatter continues ] Move him on my count. One, two, three…

[ Grunts ] Based on his vitals, we need to initiate code massive transfusion. Start a second line, give two units o neg, two units of cross matched, four units fresh frozen plasma, a platelet, and cryo. Let’s start with a dic panel, cbc, cmp, and blood gasses. We need a stat x-ray and ct of the back. Yes, doctor. Dr. Robinson, we can’t have you in here. No. No. I know — I know you’re — you’re scared, but — but you need to stay out here. Okay? We– we’ll — we’ll update you as soon as we know something. That’s my husband. Please. I’m depending on you to save him. Please. That’s — that’s the plan.

[ Crying ]

[ Sniffles ] I didn’t know you had such strong opinions about kristina. Does kristina have the classic jan brady syndrome as the middle child who wants all of the attention all the time? Of course she does. But I know her to be funny and incredibly generous. You know, a person can be both selfish and generous at the same time. Kristina is living proof. But our baby situation is not happening to her. It’s happening to us. At the very least, I should put the idea out there to molly and tj so they know they have options. No, no, no, no. Before — wait, wait. Before you do that, you need to really think about what being a surrogate actually means. Oh, she’s absolutely right. I mean, you really need to think about what carrying someone else’s child means to you. And then the third shot hit right here. And sonny and i were hiding behind the bar. That last shot was… I mean, it could have been aimed at either one of you. One of you two is the target here.

[ Radio chatter ] Hey, uh, can I talk to you privately? Yeah, sure. Excuse me.

[ Radio chatter ] Okay, I talked with hotel security. There’s only one room on the 11th floor with a pool view. It was unoccupied. Let’s go check it out. Okay.

[ Door closes ] Hey, portia. Portia, have there been any updates? Oh. He’s in the trauma room now, and they’re prepping him for surgery. They just have to find the exact location of the bullet. Alright. I-I think we should find a seat to sit on. I think we’re going to be here for a while. No. No, no, no. I-I-I’m fine here. You would think this would be easier for me because I’m a doctor, right? I know what they’re doing in there. I know every step that they’re taking. But I also know that doctors are human, too. And sometimes everything you can do… is not enough.

[ Sniffles ]

[ Cellphone rings ] Trina! Trina… mom! I heard about curtis.

[ Voice breaking ] I-is he, um… they’re working on him now. Curtis is alive — and he’s fighting.

[ Exhales deeply ]

The first time I was pregnant, I was not at all prepared to be a mother. It was jason who offered to help me raise sonny’s baby. But as the pregnancy progressed, it affected me profoundly in ways that I would have never, ever anticipated. So by the time my daughter lila was stillborn at birth… …I mean, it shattered me. So I guess my — my point is, I thought I knew what it meant to be pregnant, when in reality, I-I could not have been more wrong. You’re right. This is happening to both of us. And I’ve been shutting you down and pushing you away. And… this is my loss, but it’s also your loss, too.

[ Voice breaking ] And I’m sorry. And… I wanted to give you a child —

our child. I wanted to car that baby and give birth with you by my side. I had all these dreams that I just took for granted because I just thought that they would happen someday when we were ready. And now I know that they’re never going to happen. And I’m grieving, but in my grief… I forgot to ask what your dreams were. Jordan? How are you doing? I’m okay. You don’t need to worry about me. You should be with your sister. No. Portia knows I’m here if she needs me. But for right now, her best comfort is her daughter. If you don’t want to talk about it, I totally understand, but, um… what happened tonight? I’m still processing everything, really. It all happened so fast. I was at the pool with jordan and zeke, and I saw curtis — I saw him come in. And then we heard a gunshot. From where? I-I-I-I don’t know.

[ Sighs ] But then, jordan told us to take cover, and then I heard two more gunshots.

And then I look over at curtis and he’s down on the ground, face down. So I run over to him, and I try to stop the bleeding as fast as I could, but… wait. [ Exhales deeply ] Who told you? How do you know that curtis was shot? What are you looking for? Spencer. Trina needs him. And I think I know wherto find him. Uh, spencer and esme.

[ Whispering ] Yeah? Hmm. You have the exact same answers. So either you two are both perfectly in sync, or you’re reading from the same parenting guide.

[ Chuckles ] We’re reading from the same parenting guide. Well, you’re both very young. I assume this is your first child? Oh, uh, no. Ace is my baby. Spencer is his brother. And, um, baby daddy’s not in the picture. How’s that working out? Uh, surprisingly well. Spencer and I may not have always gotten along, but I do have to admit that, um… spencer always comes through for ace. Esme’s a devoted mom. She found this parenting guide, and I think that she found it helpful, so she had me read it as well, and, um, she found this class for us because she wants what’s best for ace. And I want the same thing. It sounds like you make a good team. I’m just so grateful that you’re not hurt. Of course, you, too. Oh, no. I appreciate that. Thank you. It’s just — it’s times like these that I realize just how dangerous chase and dante’s jobs really are. You know? Anyway, I’m no good to anyone just standing here wringing out my hands, so I’m going to head home. Nope, no, no. Gabe? Yes, boss? Make sure she gets home safe. No, you don’t need to do that. You’re in bad shape. You’re not going to drive home by yourself. Thank you. Okay?

[ Radio chatter ]

[ Exhales deeply ] That was really nice. Depends on your perspective. If I’m the shooter’s target, then I got to bear some responsibility for what happened here. Yeah. Well, I-I mean, judging by where the bullets hit, I uld say you were being targeted. Have there been any other incidents lately? Is someone trying to kill you?

[ Radio chatter continues ] Hey, you, uh — you find anything in there? We’ve swept all the rooms. No sign of the shooter. Ah, the hotel staff says this is the only room that wasn’t occupied. I want to take another look. Be my guest. So the shooter may be gone, but maybe he left something behind. Yeah, I’m gonna check the rooms. Okay. Hey, chase! I found something. Yeah? What is it? Come take a look.

Oh, mom! I am so sorry about curtis. I know. I know, baby. All we can do is pray right now. Listen, if you guys need anything, we’re here to help. Thank you. I’m — I’m so sorry. I-I don’t remember your name. Uh, dex. Josslyn’s boyfriend. If you need anything, I’ll be right over here. Thank you. Hey, listen, um, can you stay with trina? I’ll — I’ll be back in a minute. Of course. You’re right. I didn’t really think this through.

[ Breathes deeply ] I-I think I was just so busy focusing on my sister and helping her, I didn’t really think about how this would affect me. And — and being pregnant for nine months, giving birth — that’s a lot. For molly and tj, too. Surrogacy isn’t something I should just do on impulse. So don’t be so hard on yourself. It was a loving impulse. I guess it’s a good thing I only blurted that idea out to you two and not molly and tj.

[ All chuckle ] Stop. Yeah. Mm.

[ Exhales deeply ] Even if I never said it out loud… I guess I also dreamed for you to carry our child. And… so, yeah. I’ve been grieving the loss of that dream, but at least on my end, I know that I’d still like for us to have kids. And how and when that happens, that is all up for grabs. Things we can figure out when we’re ready. Okay. Good. Because I still want to have kids someday, too. Although, if we were to go the surrogacy route, kristina is healthy, and I do share dna with her. She might actually be our best choice. I don’t know why I’m feeling like this. I’ve assisted in plenty of gunshot wounds. Well, you know, you do your job, right? Then the emergency passes and the adrenaline fades… and we have the same fears as everyone else. And you look down and you see that victim. And he’s bleeding. That’s your friend. That’s curtis. That’s portia’s husband. I just can’t stop shaking.

[ Breathes deeply ] It — it’s possible that I’m the shooter’s target. I’ve been experiencing some “friction” with a newer business associate lately.

[ Radio chatter ] You don’t have to speak in code, sonny. I’m not affiliated with law enforcement now in any capacity. Well, your “fall from grace” is pretty new and very public, and somebody was upset enough to spray paint “murderer” on your front door. You think maybe… those shots weren’t aimed at you? Those bullets were meant for me? This is detective chase. I’m at the metro court hotel. We believe we found the rifle used in tonight’s shooting. Would you send a forensics team over? Thank you. You know what we’re going to find with this gun? Absolutely nothing. No prints, no way to trace it back to the shooter. It’s a ghost gun. S-same thing with the shell casings and the rest of the room. We’re not going to find anything. This person was a pro. Yeah, maybe a pro… but to tell you the truth, this also feels like it could be an intelligence op. You never did answer my question. What time do you think ace should go to bed?

[ Sighs ] Well, I’ve been a late night guy for as long as I can remember. Hmm. Uh, when I was little, I used to sneak out of bed because I had this whole gaming set-up.

[ Laughs ] I know — I had this whole gaming set-up in one of the spare rooms at wyndemere, and I thought that I was being really slick, getting away with it. But it turns out that my dad knew the whole time, so I guess it was nice of him to turn a blind eye. You know, I think that’s the first positive thing I’ve ever heard you say about your dad. Hmm. Yeah, well, we were close when I was younger. I mean, ace may never know his father, but… he does have a really great older brother. Okay, set it up. I’ll be there shortly. Um, I don’t know if you cod use an attorney, but just so you know, I’m willing to help out any way I can. I am the acting deputy mayor now. And with mayor collins out of town, I am the highest-ranking city official. Yeah. So I have to do a press conference about the shooting and reassure the public that they’re safe. So… I’ve [Exhales deeply] Got to go do that now. Well, could I at least walk you out?

[ Sighs ] Sure. Okay. Thank you. Is there an update on curtis? Is my dad going to be okay? Curtis has been stabilized, but he’s still unconscious. He’s going to need surgery to remove the bullet, which is complicated by the fact that the bullet is lodged against curtis’s spine.

On the next “General Hospital” —

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

So what do you think of this one? Well, I, um, it’s the best one we’ve seen. I agree, and it’s perfect for the kids. There’s a park right across the street. It’s close to the kids’ school. Each of them would have their own room, and we’d have enough space in our bedroom for a king-sized bed, our bedroom.

Mm-hmm. Yeah. I like the sound loud.

I think we should take it. Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Then welcome home.

Yes. Well, we we’re gonna need the answers by next week. Sure. Um, actually, let’s not discuss the details over the phone. Okay. You know, how sensitive these deals can be. Yes. Right. Okay. I’ll see you then. Bye. You going on a trip? No, I’m moving out. Oh,

there. Hello. Wow. Do I not even get a Chloe? My wee Bonnie Las. It’s wonderful to see you. Okay. That was a bad impression. I sorry, Lauren. Not in a very jolly mood today, I’m afraid. Oh no. Oh yes. How year to date revenues are down 30% and that’s taken into account the Saxon deal. You closed. No wonder you’re not in a jolly mood.

Well, maybe this will help. Well, how could that possibly not help a flying cactus and a cowboy hat? One of the big travel websites is doing a promotion for Southwest getaways, and I’ve sold them on a huge ad buy-in for our online edition. The ad agency gave me this to work on a printed version. When you say huge buy-in, oh, why don’t you see for yourself?

Boom. Oh, that is definitely substantial, and I’m. Very relieved and back to my jolly old self. Oh, I thought you might be, have I ever told you you are absolutely fantastic at your job? Is that the only thing I’m absolutely fantastic at? That’s definitely not the only thing.

Okay. Easy there, cowboy. Did you not have enough of me this morning before work? I cannot have enough of you.

Okay. Okay. Not here. Can’t here. Come on. Why not? I mean, we’ve done it in your bedroom. We’ve done it in my bedroom. We’ve done it in every conceivable place in our apartment. Variety is a spice of life. So why don’t we shake things off a that then do it in the office.

So you accepted Dimitri’s proposal. Mm-hmm. It looks like you and I are going from friends to family, auntie Kristen. Ah, yes. Uh, congratulations. I suppose my, you are thrilled, aren’t you? I know why, though. You are surprised at how fast this is all moving.

Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want? No, actually, I’m not surprised at all.

I’ve got you now. Z Yvonne Ner

Sarka. How are you doing in my room? What am I doing? I am about to expose you for the delicious swindler You are? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. The jig is up. D v L. You’re only marrying Gwen to get your hands on this money. That’s preposterous. Yeah, we’ll see about that. Where do you think you’re going to tell Gwen everything and there is nothing you can do to stop.

Thank you. I think there is.

Like Sands through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

Speaking of home bedrooms, we could go Chris, on this one. Oh, well we don’t have a bed. Well, that’s never stopped us before. Mm-hmm. True. Maybe we should sign the lease first. I’ll just text the realtor really quick.

So then, oh, hi. Hey, hey, hey. What’s up? Hey, Stephanie. I’m. I came to check this apartment out. I’m looking for a place for me and Rachel. Uh, too late. Sorry, Chad and I just decided to take it.

Xander, this is really not appropriate. We are at work. That’s right. And I’m your boss. You have to do what I say, which makes it even less appropriate. All right? Unless I say yes, and I say yes. It’s a definite. Definite, yeah. Mm-hmm.

So you’re not surprised that Dimitri and I got engaged so quickly? No. No. I am not, because I know how much you wanted to move on from Sander. This is not about Xander.

Dimitri, as corny as it sounds. Sort of swept me off my feet. Really? I’m sure he did. You see, my nephew can be very charming. Not to mention persuasive. I do hope your future mother-in-law’s imminent. Return to tasteful doesn’t put a damper on your impending nuptials. I wish you and Dimitri all the best.

Gwen. I really do. Thanks.

Ow. Ah, ow. Ow. Yourself. I think I just broke my hand on that cheekbone. And where were you smiling at? You were smiling at me. I was simply smiling back. I wasn’t smiling at you. I was smiling because I was right about you. I know what you’re up to. D V L. You think if you just kiss me and press that hard body of yours up against mine, that you can persuade me to indulge in the pleasures of your flesh in exchange for my silence.

You think if you get me into bed and satisfy every single one of my wanting desires, I won’t tell Gwen what you’re up to. So am I. Right.

That’s odd. Usually in by now.

Oh my God.

What the hell is going on here? We were just going over Chloe’s new Abbi. To me, it looks like you were just going over Chloe. Okay. You know what, I’m gonna go get some coffee. Does anyone want anything? Yes, please. I’d like you to get the hell out of here. Thanks. Oh, look for the first time you and I want the same thing except for me, obviously.

I’m so sorry that sounded so much funnier in my head. See you soon.

Sandier, your cactus is looking a bit pricker from the last time I saw it. I wanna have a doctor have a look at it. There’s nothing wrong for Mike. Cactus.

Sorry, you had to see that you’re not nearly as sorry as I am and not because I’m jealous. Mind you. No, not in the least. See, I don’t care if you are having sex with Chloe Lane or Lady Gargo, or Miss Bloody Piggy for that matter. You know why? Cause I’m quite busy myself, actually. Yes. Giving an amazing man the most amazing sex that a woman can give him.

So there

No. No sir. Despite whatever rumors you may have heard. To the contrary, I am not that easy, and now that I know for sure that you’re just marrying Gwen so you can cash in on your inheritance. She needs to know the truth.

Wish she doesn’t know can hurt her. Sorry, not interested.

Okay. Okay. Okay. Maybe I would be interested if you hadn’t just made my best friend an offer, a trove. And if you weren’t just some douchey straight guy trying to take advantage of my insatiable sexual appetite, Leo. What? I’m not, not what? Engaged to Glen. I’m not straight.

Well damn. Then I’m having a really hard time solidifying a place here. I just lost one to Xander and Chloe, and I’m gonna have to fire my real estate agent because I’m always coming in late to these listings. I don’t like it. Oh, well I could refer you to our, she’s really good. I would actually very much appreciate that.

Doesn’t, uh, enjoy your place, um, and enjoy your new job. Uh, I don’t have his new job. How’d you hear about it? Alex told me and Chad, he, uh, he wasn’t too happy about it.

Yeah. You’re moving out. Why? I’m just not that comfortable here anymore, auntie. I haven’t been sleeping well. Well, you have one in the nicest rooms in the West Wing. You’re welcome to choose another. I mean, if it’s the mattress, I’m sure Henderson can find one more to you. Liking. No, no, no. It’s not the mattress or the room that’s making me feel uncomfortable.

It’s you.

What do you mean? Megan escaped? Well, ej, why wouldn’t I be worried that satis had us tied up in the secret room for weeks? You know, I, I wouldn’t be surprised if she just takes us all out one by one. Oh my God. Okay. Okay. No, I, I appreciate the heads up. All right. You just watch your back.

Oh,

Megan, don’t you come near me. I’m warning you. I armed. I’m not Auntie Megan.

Honey, whoop. Oh my God. Oh, sweetheart.

We’re gonna need a lot of furniture, huh? Couch. Coffee table beds, dining table. It’s a lot of shopping. Oh. Oh, perfect. Our realtor’s coming over with keys and some paperwork we need to sign. She’s gonna be here in an hour. Okay, that gives me time to, uh, run over to Maggie’s and let her know my decision.

Good luck.

I’ll be back soon,

Shirley. Surely you can understand that I just don’t wanna live in the same house with the woman who fired me. You are the one. Who signed with Titan’s biggest competitor. You stole a client, a huge client away from me, auntie Mag. That is just not what happened. Mm, nope. I’m sorry. I get it. That is how you see the deal that I made with Yuri.

That’s not how I see it. That’s what you did. Well then we’re just gonna have to agree to disagree on that. But I’m sure there’s one thing that we can both agree on and that this living situation isn’t healthy for either of us. Did you at least say goodbye to your Uncle Victor? No. He was taking a nap. I didn’t wanna wake him.

I’ll see you around Auntie Alex. Hi. Whatever has happened between us, it doesn’t change the fact that we’re, we’re still family and we always will be. Yeah. Family.

So, uh, where are you gonna live? I will let you know when I find a place. I’ll see you around.

Hey. Hi. Got a button? This one. Oh, uh, I was running late this morning. Yeah, how are you? Ah, um, okay. I don’t say I’m a little frustrated. I’ve been trying to find a, find a place to live for Rachel and me. I just lost another one to Stephanie and Chad and I don’t know, I was hoping to find a place before Rachel came back from camp.

Well, I’m sorry, this is her camp. She probably wants more credit on her camp account or something. Hello? Yeah. What do you mean missing? When what? Well, where the hell could she have gone?

Oh my baby girl. I have missed you so much. Oh, mom, stop, honey. Sue, I, I’m just so happy to see you. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What? What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be at camp. What do you care? You never even came to see me before I left. You never even said goodbye, honey. You know what that is?

Because mean old auntie Megan had me locked up in the basement. Wait for real? Yes, sweetheart. For real. Oh sweetie. There’s nothing else that could possibly have kept me from seeing you off. Oh God. Oh honey, I am so happy that you came to see me, but um, I’m gonna have to take you back to camp. No. No way

you, you’re seriously going to look me in the eye and tell me that you are queer with a straight face, a very straight face. That is what I’m telling you. Okay, so we have very quickly moved on from you thinking I have absolutely no scruples to you thinking I’m just playing stupid. Oh no. I don’t think you’re stupid Leo, but you want me to believe that you’re gay?

I am. But you’re sleeping with Gwen. You proposed to her? Yes. Only to get access to the money in the bomb. Was she cosol? And since, as we have established you are anything but stupid, you have known all along that I’ve had an ulterior motive. And now you know what that is.

We’re listen. I overheard Dimitri Van Loser bragging about proposing to you and I, I suppose I can even see why you might be attracted to him, even though we both know that blokes from Northwest and Europe are more your time. Oh, that is ridiculous. But even if he is an amusing distraction for you, Gwen, that insufferable man’s so full of himself, how can, how can he possibly have room in his heart left for you?

I mean, why would you even consider marrying such a narcissistic, pompous jerk? Excuse me. But Dimitri is none of those things. He’s actually very caring, generous, and loyal, wonderful person who happens to be head over heels in love with me as I am with him. And I’m not contemplating marrying him. I’ve said yes to Dimitri.

I am marrying him. And you know what? I cannot wait to be his wife there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. It’s not the marrying Gwen, so you can get your grubby hands all over your family’s money thing. It’s the gay thing. I have excellent gay and from you. I haven’t gotten a single ping. I had a lifetime at practice not giving up pings. But it’s not just that you’re stripping. Gwen, you also had that flinging with Billy Reed.

I was playing Agent Reed as well to get my hands on the Almanian peacock. Yeah. Now you’re playing me to get up my. Subterranean peacock. No, it’s not like that. Then what is it like? And keep in mind I am neither stupid nor gullible, nor naive, nor a pushover, though the last one may be a little, which I hate, but I’m working on it.

Right? Well, that’s good for you. Look, um, I am imploring you to reveal neither my intentions nor my sexual orientation to anyone, and I’m willing to give myself to you as a means to that end. But you should also know that I don’t consider it any kind of sacrifice as I am very much looking forward to it, giving myself to you.

That is, well, strike me pink. Are you trying to tell me that you’re attracted to me? For someone who asks. We have established is not at all stupid. That sure took you a minute, Leo? Yes. Yes I am.

Gwen, are you sure this is a good idea? You just met this guy. You know the horrific things he’s done.

Okay. Sure. Yeah, I know he hasn’t led an exemplary life, but you know what he says that I bring out the best in him,

and you will know how I like bad boys. I’m no angel myself. Am I

what? What are you thinking? Just say it. I just can’t help but wonder if maybe this has less to do with you being in love with Dimitri and more to do with me getting together with Chloe. Oh God, look, there it is again. Usual, massive ego. No, no, it’s not. It’s not about that. And you know what? Even if it was so what?

You’ve moved on from me, haven’t you? I would very much like to move on from you, so I would actually say this is a very positive step in the right direction. Wouldn’t you share with us, Dimitri? Can you just stop please? Why can’t you just be happy for me? Zander. Jake cheated on me. Chad was in love with Abigail and you, you never really got over.

Sarah, did you? And now for the first time in my life, there is a man who wants to be with me and only me.

I wanna be with you, Leo Stark. Since when? Since the first time I laid eyes on you in Arizona. Oh, please. The way I remember it, you were totally into Billy Reed and totally annoyed by me all the time. And then I stole your emerald and you wanted to kill me. I never wanted to kill you. If anything, any antagonism that you felt for me was just my attempt to hide my desire for you.

But the truth of the matter is, Leo, I have always found you attractive. I think you are so interesting. You’re smart and witty. That definitely smile and that expressive eyes and that sassy little walk of yours. My walk. Mm-hmm. No one’s ever commented on my walk before or thought my eyes were expressive or thought that I was witty.

Funny, yes, but never witty, which is just a smarter version of funny, right. Well, you are all of the above and everything I just said that I liked about you, just the tip of the iceberg. But besides all that, and perhaps most importantly, Leo, I think you are so hot now. I understand that you don’t wanna betray your best friend, but really is it any better than betraying your own desires?

This hate between us, it is undeniable. This pole, it’s a gravity that neither of us can fight for much longer. I know I certainly can’t.

Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay. I will give myself to you, but you have to promise me one thing. Anything. You’ll be gentle. Oh, I’ll good. Because I won’t

Yeah, well, you, you do that. Okay. Thank you very much. God, wait, so Rachel’s missing. Yeah. She left camp. Yeah. Yeah. And unlike those incompetent counselors I have. Pretty good idea of where she went to see Kristen. Yeah. Odd are She’s with her mother right now. Mama Kim is so stupid. I wanna stay here with you.

Oh, honey, honey, honey, I wish you could, but there’s a lot going on with this family right now and it’s very, very complicated. And besides, you know that your daddy has full custody of you and he’s the one who gets to make the decisions. In fact, I need to call him right now. I thought we were fighting that he’s having custody.

I’m trying. It’s been very, very hard, Rachel. I need a lawyer to help me and. No one wants to take my case. There has to be somewhere that we can be together. Mama isn’t there, please.

Ah, Chad, what can I do for you? Well, um, I came to give you my decision. Oh, well. Oh, I hope you decided to come to work for me at Titan. I think we could do great things together.

I think so too.

Living room. Ivory white paper. White. White. Dove. Too many choices.

Hey Alex, what are you doing here? Well, I was hoping to move in.

It’s true. What is, you do have a magic penis. No, no. I, I thought I’d seen it all when you made it levitate with that thing you did at the end.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. No, no. Uh, this can’t go on. Not like this. Gwen is my best friend. So what are you saying? You mean we can’t see each other again? Oh, hell no. That is definitely not what I’m saying. But you cannot marry her. You have to walk back that proposal. And yes, she will be hurt, but she would be way more hurt being the wife of a gay man and I can walk her through that misery and help her.

And how are you going to help her when you’re involved with the man that’s just turned his back on her? Well, maybe we can leave that part out. My involvement with you, it doesn’t matter anyway, because she’s already said yes to my proposal. What. When, just earlier today we’re at Mother’s Bedside in the hospital and she hadn’t said yes yet, but then we had this strong connection, this, this bonding of sorts and so and so.

She said, yes. Damn Leo. I genuinely like Gwen, but it’s you that I want badly. So if we could, you know, have more times like this, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait, what are you suggesting that you marry Gwen and keep me as some sort of side piece? That is not happening. D v L? No way. No. How do you know what’s at stake here?

I will lose a staggering amount of money if I’m not married by the time I turn 40 and I turn 40 at the end of the month. Oh, right. Damn well, I would hate to see you lose all that money, but this situation we find ourselves and it does beg a major question. Mm-hmm. What’s that? Okay, so the Cota Soul says that you have to tie the knot before you turn the big 4.0 to inherit the V millions.

Mm-hmm. But does it say anything specifically? About tying knot with someone of the female persuasion.

Why Leo Starr? Are you asking me to marry him? I can’t be sure if it Dimitri guy is being straight with you. You know he’s a conman. I don’t want to hear it. Yeah, I just don’t think it’s in your interest such proposal right now. Your blood. Yeah, I just, I just want you to be happy, but. Especially after, you know how I hurt you

each other.

I know that I’m taking a chance here, but. I’m neither naive nor stupid, Sandra. I know that. I know. You can hand yourself up. I’ll shut up now. Well, that’s a relief. Just be careful with that guy. Yeah.

I appreciate your concern.

You know what I don’t appreciate though, is you fornicating all over the bloody office. So if you don’t mind, perhaps some sanitizing that desk over there and anywhere else where your bums may have rubbed against. Yes, ma’am.

Oh, we’ll work out all the details of your contract. Yeah. Um, should we be pleased with the terms? I’m, I’m, I’m sure I will be. Oh no. Oh, I’m so happy about this. Yes, I’m too, today has been, uh, uh, a day. I, uh, I have a new job. Stephanie and I, we found an apartment together. Oh, that’s wonderful. What great news.

Yeah. Um, yeah. Just one thing though, about what, um, Yeah, and it’s really none of my business, but I was just wondering if, um, if, if it’ll be at all uncomfortable for you and Victor with Alex living here, but working for Demaro. Well, you know, you don’t have to worry about that anymore. Alex just moved out.

Things just started to get really awkward, so I figured it was time to move out. Plus, I’m ready for my own place anyway. Makes sense. Yeah. But apparently Salem is a hot rental market. Brady was just here looking at this apartment too. But um, Chad and I had already decided to take it. Oh, well then I should say congratulations.

Thank you.

And speaking of awkward, I should probably tell you before you hear it from anyone else. Chad decided to take your old job at Titan. Ah, well good for him. Yeah, he’s excited about it.

I just, I hope this doesn’t set us back, you and me. I mean, why would it? Too bad. You and I have gotten to a really good place, even after everything we’ve. Been through and now with Chad at Titan and you at Demara. Not to mention the fact that he and I will be living together. I just, I don’t want things to change that I’d really want, I’d really like for us to be friends.

I’d really like that too, but for now, I’m gonna go find myself a place to live. See you soon.

No, I’d find you here. Where else would I be? Hm? What’s wrong, Brady? You know damn well. What’s wrong, Chris? Where’s our daughter?

Hey. Hey. Is Maggie thrilled that you accepted her options? She was thrilled. So was I. Me too. Congratulations. Yeah, it’s been a good day. Did um, did the realtor come by with the papers yet? Not yet. Perfect timing, but that’s her. Hey there kids. I have here the keys to your new place as well as the lease for you to sign.

How did you get, what are you talking about? Well, I got ’em from the realtor. She asked if I could drop ’em off on my way home. Yeah, but you don’t live anywhere near here? I do now. I got a place in the building directly across the hall from you guys. Hm.

Hey you. So how did it go with Gwen? That’s something you might expect. She was in an unusually good mood.

Are you okay Chloe? Yeah, I, I’m sorry. I’m just a little bit worried. Um, I ran into Brady when I went to get coffee and he said that Rachel went missing from her camp. She’s missing, that’s terrible. What’s going? Yeah. But he has a pretty good idea as to where she went.

Missing, but what are you talking about? Do they think she ran away? Are they looking for her? Oh, you, you didn’t, you didn’t know. Of course. I didn’t know. I mean, how would I, I mean, you’d never put me on their contact list. What the hell are you kidding? Kristen? Let’s, let’s just not do these mind games.

Let’s not do ’em right now. Okay. Do one who set her up at this camp? Mr. I have full custody, Kristen. Just tell the truth for once. This is for a change. Are you hiding her here or not? I swear to you, if Rachel were here, I would tell you

voicemail. Damn.

Hi, Matty, it’s me. I was really hoping you’d pick up. Um, I wanted to share with you the news in person, um, but I just couldn’t wait to share this wonderful news with my most trusted and loyal friend. Ready?

I said yes to Dimitri and call me crazy. But, um, for the first time in my life, I think I might actually have a chance of real happiness.

What if I was asking you to marry me? You are not gonna gimme grief, are you? For not getting down on bended knee, which would be redundant given what I just did. Uh, no. No. This has nothing to do with the informality of your proposal and everything to do with my old world family and its old world values.

I wish that they were open-minded enough to accept the marriage between any consenting adults, but alas, that is not the case. Now. The codicil is perfectly clear. I must be married to a woman. Oh, I guess I missed that part. Mm-hmm.

The thing is, Gwen really likes you. I think maybe she even loves you. Yes. But I promise you I will take care of Gwen in my own way. But you have to promise me that no one will know about this, especially her. It’ll.

What are you thinking?

Just that I have thrown myself at more men than a groupie at a month long music festival, and they always turn out to be either too straight, too nice. Well, now you know I’m neither there.

Promise me this isn’t just some kind of trick I swear in my family name. For whatever that’s worth. I swear that this is not a trick. Now you have to swear to me, Leo, that no one will know about us by what just happened, but I hope happens again, again and again. I swear on my honor. It’ll be our little secret.

Thomas: Your heart is beating so fast.

Hope: So is yours.

Thomas: Wait.

[ Clears throat ] What about liam?

Hope: He decided to end our marriage. He walked out on me. Liam’s made his choice.

Liam: It’s ironic, isn’t it? All this time I was so worried about thomas and what he would do and how he would hurt hope and our family and– I guess, it never occurred to me that hope would be the one.

Wyatt: I can’t even begin to imagine how tough this is for you. But, like, is there any way that you can just dig deep and find some kind of forgiveness for– for–

Liam: How? How do I do that when hope is the one who betrayed me with thomas. I mean, thomas of all people. This is the one person in the whole world that I just– you know this already. It’s just that, this is not the kind of thing I can just get past. I mean, for me, for me, it’s unforgivable.

[ Electric door buzzes ]

Sheila: Come on, tate, what am I doing here? No one comes to see me anymore. I think I– I think I hold the record.

Guard: Today is your lucky day.

[ Door buzzes ]

Deacon: Thank you.

Guard: No touching. I’m right outside.

Sheila: Thought you forgot about me.

Deacon: Impossible. I’m sorry I haven’t come sooner. How are you holding up?

Sheila: Oh, you know, just… using this time for self-reflection.

Deacon: Babe, it’s you and me. How are you really doing?

Liam: Why are you looking at me like that?

Wyatt: I’m– I’m just– I’m– I’m– I’m thinking, okay? I’m– I’m playing something out here. You– you– you talk about what hope did, right? How kissing thomas in rome is– is unforgivable. But…

[ Chuckles ] …Is it really? You know, like, it– it– is there any way that you can look past this before it’s too late?

Thomas: What– what are we doing?

Hope: I… I don’t know. I– I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m doing because I guess I’m not thinking I’m just destroying my marriage and my family, right? Because something’s wrong with me.

Thomas: Whoa, whoa, stop, stop, stop. Hope. Hold on. You are the most amazing wife and mother. You’re the most remarkable person I’ve ever met. So I’m– I’m not going to let you tear yourself down. Sweet pillows of softness!

Deacon: I’ve wanted to see you so many times. And I just couldn’t, but I have to be careful.

Sheila: You don’t have to explain. I understand. Right? I mean, bill and– and ridge knowing about us, that just creates problems for you.

Deacon: No, I know. They– they– they said they would keep it a secret.

Sheila: You know, after everything that I put you through you, you’re– you’re still here. I really can’t tell you how much that means to me, deacon.

Wyatt: Look, you have every right to be upset here. I get it. Thomas has been trying to interfere in your marriage for years now. And you warned hope again and again and again, right? Yet, she was the one who decided to make a move on–

Liam: You’re really helping me out with this, thank you.

Wyatt: I’m just stating the facts here, okay? The damage is done. You can’t go back. But what you can do is decide where you go from here. You love hope, right?

Liam: Yes, of course I do.

Wyatt: Good, then– then it’s not too late to fix this, right? Think about it. It… [ Scoffs ] …It’s just one kiss and regardless of who it was with, is it worth losing everything?

Wyatt: Like, I know you said you want divorce but– but you were angry, you were pissed off at seeing the whole kiss. But do you want to, like, give up on hope and– and your– your wife and your family?

Liam: Hey. I hear you. I really do. It’s just, this is not the kind of thing I can move on from.

Wyatt: Okay. Well, I think it’s never a good idea to make a dramatic decision when you’re in the heat of the moment. And I think that’s what you’re doing right now. It’s– it is. Okay? I still think there’s time here to move on, to fix this, if you want to. It’s not too late to change your mind.

Hope: I’ll never forget that look in liam’s eyes when he said our marriage was over. That he wanted a divorce. It was… not just pain, it was… disappointment. Disappointment in me.

Thomas: Look, he was– he was probably just in shock.

Hope: No. No, he was… almost calm. Resolved. Like he made up his mind. So now I’m left picking up the pieces, wondering about beth and douglas, and what this is going to mean for them, and I just– I messed it all up.

Thomas: Hey, hey, hey. Please do not punish yourself.

Hope: No, thomas, whatever happens, that is my fault. This is on me.

Thomas: We have no idea what the future will hold. We don’T. Right? We’re going to get through this. I’m here for you. I will always be here for you, hope. Always. (Vo) when it comes to nature valley, which camp are you in?

Sheila: You know, I don’t want to talk about me anymore. All right? Let’s, uh– what about you? What’s going on? How’s the restaurant?

Deacon: Who the hell knew deacon sharpe was a workaholic. I mean, I’ve been busting my ass harder than I ever have. I’ve never been happier. I mean, it’s the craziest thing, right?

Sheila: No. I always… I always believed in you. And you have that drive. That’s something that we both share.

Deacon: It wasn’t always like that. I mean, when you came into my life, it definitely was not like that.

Sheila: Come on, you were just a diamond in the rough, right?

Deacon: Hmm.

Sheila: I’ve always believed in you, deacon. I mean, so many people, they just wrote me off but not you.

Deacon: I’m never going to forget that.

Sheila: Yeah. Sometimes I close my eyes and I– I just make believe I am sitting at il giardino sipping on a martini watching you charm your clients.

Deacon: Well, I mean, I can occasionally be charming. This is true.

[ Sheila laughs ]

Sheila: Wow. I really miss that smile. That charm. I… I really miss you.

Wyatt: It was one kiss, man. Come on. It’s just– you’re not going to fight for hope, huh? You’re not going to give her another chance to explain? Like, I think you need to take a step back here and– and look at what you’re giving up. I mean, beth needs both of her parents. Douglas. Not to mention, the bottom line is you can’t deny that you still love hope.

Liam: Yeah, I– yes, I know, wyatt. That is what makes this so painful. Yeah, before thomas started infiltrating our family, hope and I, we had it all. We were building a future together, and I could see– I could see him trying to create separation between us. And I was doing everything I could not to let that happen. What I didn’t count on, what shocked the hell out of me, was that it was hope going after him. It was– it was hope who wanted him.

Thomas: You really think liam could be interested in steffy again?

Hope: He is. I know it. They were practically the last words he said to me before he walked out the door. So, yeah, there’s that. Frankly, I’m just trying to… deal with the fallout of my own actions right now. And I’M…

Thomas: Look, I’m– like I said, I am always going to be here for you. Right?

Thomas: As a friend, as someone you can talk to… someone who would never judge you.

Hope: It means a lot to hear you say that. That you care about me.

Thomas: Always.

Hope: You know, it’s been kind of a remarkable thing watching you turn your life around. I mean, it’s shown me that people actually can change, that it’s not just empty words and platitudes that, um… if you mean it, and if you want it… you can do it. Thomas, you have become… an incredible man.

Thomas: I’m sorry, I–

[ Sighs ] I can’t do this. – You like that bone?

Deacon: Sheila, no matter what’s happened, nobody can take away what you and I shared. And I can honestly say that I have never, ever met anyone like you.

Sheila: Well, that’s nice to know. But tell me, is there, uh… anyone special in your life now?

Deacon: I don’t have time for romance. I live and breath that restaurant. I’m going to make that the hottest place in town.

Sheila: I can’t say I’m disappointed to hear that you– you haven’t found someone special.

Deacon: It’s not so easy to replace the one and only sheila carter.

Sheila: Yeah. Some days I feel like I– I just have no hope. And then I– I think about you. I– I think about… the memories that– that we made together and– and that really helps me get through things here. I’m really thankful that you came, deacon.

Wyatt: Okay. Here’s what I want you to do. All right? Just humor me. Okay? Let’s try and… pretend that the kiss never happened.

Liam: Oh, my god. I wish I could!

Wyatt: You’d still be back with your family.

Liam: Have you ever met a human before?

Wyatt: Oh, my– liam. You’re upset. It’s thomas. I get it. Nobody hates that guy more than I do. But you can’t just walk away from your family. Don’t make a decision that you can’t take back.

Liam: Our marriage is over and you– and you always knew that it would be if you chose this. I want a divorce.

Hope: I remember when liam put this ring on my finger. How excited we were… to build a life together. A family. A future. And now I can’t– he couldn’t make the compromises that I have had to make for us. And it shattered. Our marriage is over.

[ Exhales sharply ]

Thomas: [Indistinct]

Hope: Yeah.

Sally: Hot sauce! You do love me.

Nick: Yes. I know how you get when you run out, so I brought you a few others to try.

Sally: Oh, do not get between a girl and her scoville units. “Made with devil’s tongue and habanero peppers.” Yeah, baby. You’re awesome. Thank you.

Nick: You’re welcome. So, how was your meeting with chloe?

Sally: It was actually really uplifting.

Nick: Yeah?

Sally: Yeah. We talked about desks. And work ergonomics. And I totally got out of my head space for a change, it was really great.

Nick: There you go. Good design, something you’re passionate about. What better way to get back in the swing of things?

Sally: Yeah. Little by little.

Nick: Whatever it takes.

Sally: Okay. Come on. It’s your turn now. You mentioned something about a meeting with victor. What’s that about?

Nick: My dad offered me a job.

Sally: Doing what?

Nick: Working with adam.

Kyle: Gerard, it’s kyle abbott. I’d like to have some flowers delivered. No. No, not to marchetti. These are for an audra charles. She’s staying at the athletic club. Uh, I’m thinking something a little wild, gorgeous, unique. That sounds good. And the note, um… from one overachiever to another. Thanks for showing me your moves. No name. She’ll know. Oh, oh, oh, gerard, um, I’d like some earrings as well. I’m thinking diamonds.

Audra: You seem very pleased about something.

Kyle: I am if you are.

Tucker: For immediate release.

Ashley: We’re toasting?

Tucker: Yes. To us, to new business venture and to that provocative bit of pr that just went out.

Ashley: To our joint success.

Tucker: And then some.

[ Diane sighing ]

Jack: Thank you.

Diane: Yeah. I feel so badly for kyle. I’m afraid that both he and summer are in for some tough times.

[ Phone chiming ]

Jack: Are you kidding me? I don’t believe this. Four delicious pieces of chocolate.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Ashley: Jack’s phone should be pinging any second with our press release.

Tucker: You’re gleeful.

Ashley: I can’t help it. I wish I could see his face when he finds out that we’ve started our own company. It’s gonna make his head explode.

Tucker: Now that I would like to see.

Ashley: He deserves it. A taste of his own medicine. I just hope it’s as traumatic for him as having diane shoved down my throat has been for me.

Tucker: Well, you have been in a righteous fury for months, so it’s gonna take jack some catching up before he joins you in the anger stage.

Ashley: The anger stage?

Tucker: Yeah, you know, the kubler-ross. The five stages of grief?

Ashley: Oh.

Tucker: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance.

Ashley: Well, jack is definitely in denial, thinking that diane is capable of change.

Tucker: Yeah. And when he finds out we’re teaming up, he’ll start on a whole new sequence of trauma.

Ashley: Why? Why? You think the press release is going to trigger him into the anger phase?

Tucker: Oh, absolutely. I can already hear it. Ashley, that you would– you would– that you would– uh– uh– betray our family for this– this flim-flam man. This charlatan. It’s an outrage. You’ve gone too far.

Jack: Tucker and ashley in business together? That’s outrageous.

Diane: What? The two powerhouses of jabot and mccall unlimited are forming an iconic new health and beauty company, with close ties to the creme de la creme of today’s social media superstar influencers…” oh, this can’t possibly be real.

Jack: I need to make a call.

Kyle: Iced tea, please. Do you want anything?

Audra: I’m good.

Kyle: Thanks. Mm. They look great on you.

Audra: My new earrings?

Kyle: Just like I knew they would.

Audra: Thank you for the compliment. And for my earrings. They’re exquisite, by the way. Although, they’re ridiculously extravagant.

Kyle: I figured, why the hell not?

Audra: And the flowers they were gorgeous as well.

Kyle: Glad you liked them.

Audra: Even though I received them in front of your wife. Not the most cautious move in the world, kyle. You’re not the least bit worried I might have told summer who sent me that bouquet?

Kyle: Should I be?

Audra: Or was that the plan all along? To make her jealous?

Kyle: Summer didn’t factor into this at all.

Audra: Mm-hmm. For some reason, I believe you.

Kyle: Well, you said you might call me. Or you might not. I figured if you didn’t call, then the flowers would be a fond farewell. But if you did call, the earrings would be a sparkly, “hello, again.”

Sally: Ugh! Your father is unbelievable! First, he hands adam a company, then he won’t even let him run it? And what? Does he actually think he’s helping, or– or is he just trying to pick a fight? I’m sorry. I just find that man absolutely infuriating.

Nick: You’re not the only one who feels like that.

Sally: I mean, it was one thing when he tried to bribe me into handing over my child, but I assumed maybe this is just a test, so I tried to let it roll off my back. But now here he is again, trying to suck you into his drama with adam and stir the pot. Because I guarantee you, adam is not going to want you to work with him because he has way too much pride and he’s way too selfish to share in any of the glory. But, for some reason, he makes people want to help him and fix him, but it can’t be done. So, why even try?

Sharon: Double shot?

Adam: Uh, make it three.

Sharon: Okay. Whipped cream?

Adam: It’s not really a whipped cream kind of day.

Sharon: No whipped cream then, coming right up. So… you got any plans for the weekend?

Adam: Uh, just work.

Sharon: Well, that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?

Adam: What about you?

Sharon: Yeah, tessa and mariah and I are going to aria to the park. It will be her first picnic.

Adam: Hm. Nice.

Sharon: Do you have any plans for summer? Maybe a trip with connor? Has he been camping? I bet you he would love that.

Adam: Connor’s at sports camp at walnut grove right now. He’s very busy. And I’m throwing myself into things, as well.

Sharon: What things?

Adam: Thank you. Keep the change.

Sharon: Adam… lactaid is 100% real milk,

Nick: I mean, I knew you’d have something to say about my dad’s offer, but I didn’t think you’d be this upset about it and what were you saying about fixing adam? Was that in the letter that he wrote to you? Did you finally read it?

Sally: You know, adam is irrelevant. He’s not in my life anymore and I would prefer if you did not deal with him either. I’m sorry, I know he’s your brother. I did not mean to make demands. That’s not at all how I wanted this to come out.

Nick: Your feelings are raw. It’s okay. I get it. I don’t like my dad’s suggestion either. But my dad’s really afraid that adam’s gonna start spiraling again. He can go to some dark places, as I’m sure you know.

Sally: Yeah. I’m not really the right person to discuss this with. Adam is trouble, and he’s only going to get worse. And I meant it when I said I do not want this guy a part of my life anymore.

Audra: Aren’t you the charmer?

Kyle: I assumed if I’d overstepped, you would have told me off right away, but you’re wearing the earrings, so…

Audra: Well, sparkly happens to be my favorite color. I appreciate pretty things. They make me happy. You know, and those flowers you sent, just breathtaking. You know, they really brighten up my suite. You should come up and see them.

Kyle: Yeah, I think I’d like to see them.

Audra: You know, I really admire your attitude, not giving a damn who might see us together. It’s refreshing.

Kyle: I have nothing to hide.

Audra: Well, that’s you. I prefer to keep my personal life personal. I don’t need the hotel staff and everyone else here knowing my business.

Kyle: Is that because you want to keep your options open? Or you don’t want anyone to think you’re slacking off when there’s work to be done?

Audra: It doesn’t matter why. It’s just the way it is.

Kyle: I promise not to act suspicious. I’ll follow you shortly.

Jack: No, you’ve been very helpful, jim, thanks. Unbelievable.

Diane: Who did you call?

Jack: A buddy of mine at the chronicle. He works at the business desk. Apparently, it’s legit.

Diane: I don’t understand this. The last we knew, ashley was trying to line up board members to stage a coup.

>>Jack: Yeah, in the meantime, they have been building a company. Out of thin air. How did it even get this far?

Diane: Well, I can’t help but feel somewhat responsible.

Jack: No.

Diane: This whole rift started when you and I got back together. And I have– I have tried to be civil with ashley and to ignore her constant attacks, but I’m– I’m going to admit, there are times when I’ve fought back.

Jack: Listen to me. You are not to blame for this. There have been times in ashley’s life where she has done things that are mystifying to me. This is one of them.

Diane: But jack, the timing–

Jack: Ashley and I worked very hard to get things back to a good place after our last falling out. It almost didn’t happen, but she folded her company back into jabot. No, this is not your doing. This is tucker mccall’s doing. And I am through putting up with it. And him.

Ashley: Okay, I wanna see angry jack again. You’re upset with your sister. Do it again. For her.

Tucker: This is an outrage! Have you no shame? How could you think of doing this to us? To me! Your brother.

Ashley: Okay. Okay, you are weirdly good at this. It’s– it’s a little disturbing.

Tucker: I don’t know. I think it needs a little work.

Ashley: No, it’s pretty good. So, next level? Next stage?

Tucker: Bargaining.

Ashley: Bargaining.

Tucker: I assume that’s right around the corner. He’ll– he’ll offer you an upgraded title or maybe a big bonus to try to get you to stay. Maybe he’ll fire billy, free up some space. Give you the old man’s room.

Ashley: My father’s office. Oh, he’d have to be very desperate to do something like that.

Tucker: Or worried.

Ashley: Yeah, as worried as I’ve been. About diane and what she could do to jabot if she gets enough power.

Tucker: Ah. Speak of the devils. I was stuck.

Kyle: Oof. Business casual takes on a whole new meaning.

Audra: Well, you know, I thought you could see the earrings better this way. You know? No distractions.

Ashley: Well, hello there. Are you here to congratulate us on our new announcement?

Jack: I want to speak to tucker.

Ashley: You know I make my own decisions, jackie. And if you’ve got a problem with my plans, you can talk to me and not my business partner.

Tucker: Don’t forget, your fiance.

Ashley: Oh, yes, my fiance. So here I am, speak to me. Right here, right now. This very moment.

Jack: You are so predictable. As soon as you can’t get your own way, you pick up your toys and leave us all hanging.

Ashley: Is that your really sweet way of telling me that you’re gonna miss me?

Jack: I’m not gonna have this conversation with you.

Ashley: Oh, really?

Tucker: All right. I’ll have this conversation with you, jack. I am curious to know what my future brother-in-law has to say about this.

Diane: Are you sure you want to do this, ashley? Go to war against your brother just because you don’t like me? Oh, come on, what will it take to end this?

Ashley: It sure didn’t take long to get to the bargaining stage.

Nick: Nobody asked what happened that night. But adam, honestly, I’m really glad that you were there to do whatever you could.

Adam: You mean take a kick in the teeth so my big brother can shine?

Nick: Here we go.

Adam: No, really. I would really like to know how that feels. To be the guy in the spotlight when the credits roll. You know, saved his family from a lunatic. And what does nick do on his victory lap? He swoops in to fix what adam couldn’T. I mean, you’re a hero. And I just get shoved back in the corner where I’m expected to stay until I’m needed.

Nick: That night took its toll on all of us.

Adam: Yeah, but you came out of that store smelling like a rose, even though I did everything right. It all fell apart. How does that happen, nick? No, really, I would like to know because I just– I really want to get this right for next time. And we both know there’s going to be a next time. Someone’s gonna need me to do their dirty work, the stuff that they just don’t have the stomach for, you know, the unspeakable stuff. The decisions that nobody ever wants to make.

Nick: It was an awful night for everybody.

Adam: Yeah. Well, it was worse for some.

Nick: And just so you know, I have told sally that she needs to find some way to forgive you, for something that’s not your fault. But this is up to sally, all right? Wherever this goes from here is completely up to her. Now, she has decided that because the baby is sadly no longer here, there is nothing left between the two of you. So, if you ever cared about her, then you will respect that and stay away from her.

Nick: You know, why don’t you tell me about your meeting with chloe? Let’s talk about business or something.

Sally: I just can’t, nick.

Nick: You can’t what?

Sally: I’m just really tired, okay? I– I– I can’t talk anymore. I hit a wall or something. I just really need to rest.

Nick: All right. So what do you want to do? Do you want to, uh, watch a movie or something? Maybe some mindless comedy? How about that nature show that you love so much, with the british dude with the soothing voice?

Sally: Yeah, maybe another time.

Nick: All right, um, we could–

Sally: Look, I just need some space, nick. I– I don’t know if it’s leftover hormones or the fact that I haven’t really slept in days, but I am on a hair trigger all of a sudden and I really do not want to say something to hurt you. Or to hurt us. So, please, can you just go?

Nick: Yeah, of course.

Sally: Nick. I can tell you’re trying. And I really appreciate that.

Nick: Feel better.

[Music playing] Subject 1: Cancer is a long journey.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

What can you do

with sensitive skin?

Kyle: I feel like I’m 20 again, back in new york.

Audra: You can be a bad boy anywhere.

Kyle: I pretty much was.

Audra: And now, you’re all tamed and domesticated.

Kyle: Oh, no, no, no. That’s not what you were saying five minutes ago.

Audra: True.

[ Audra sighing ] You know, feels like I had to give up this big part of myself to become successful. Always putting in the hours, paying your dues. No time to be playful or spontaneous.

Kyle: Then, before you know it, you have a family and responsibilities.

Audra: Not in here. Here, we can be carefree.

Kyle: Oh, but until the next meeting, the next spreadsheet.

Audra: That’s when you don’t love your job. When you do, it’s magic.

Kyle: You really like it at newman, don’t you?

Audra: I can’t remember the last time I was this excited to go in the office in the morning.

Kyle: I worked there, learned a lot. In terms of a job, it was valuable, but… as far as the newmans themselves, watch out. It’s hard to trust any of ’em.

Audra: Look, I understand there’s no love lost there, but I’m running newman media, with all the autonomy I could ever want and I need a right-hand man. Interested?

Nick: So, I guess you didn’t decide to sell off kirsten’s company and retire to a tropical island just yet?

Sharon: No. The idea is to use it for as much good and as many people as possible. So, no island for me.

Nick: All right. Got it.

Sharon: Your usual?

Nick: You know what? Let’s get crazy. Instead of regular lemonade, why don’t you put a little raspberry syrup in it?

Sharon: Ooh. Good choice.

Nick: Yeah, let’s go.

Sharon: So, how’s sally? Everything okay?

Nick: Yeah, not so much.

Sharon: Oh.

Nick: I managed to upset her.

Sharon: Wow, I’m sorry. What happened?

Nick: Instead of doing what victoria wants me to do, which is take some time off. Dad thinks it would be a perfect time for me to go and help adam.

Sharon: Help him at mccall?

Nick: Yeah, or a better way to describe it would be to insert myself someplace where I know I’m not wanted.

Sharon: Why?

Nick: Dad thinks that adam’s gonna channel his pain from sally and losing the baby into some war with the family. He thinks he’s going to go after newman media and victoria.

Sharon: Do you think that victor’s right?

Nick: Adam is not hiding his true intentions regarding newman media. He thinks he built up that company and he wants it back. And vic’s like, “bring it on.” So, dad thinks there needs to be some buffer or there’s going to be complete chaos.

Sharon: So, what did you say to victor?

Nick: I told him I’d think about it. Then, I made the mistake of bringing it up to sally and it really set her off.

Sharon: Mm. I’m sorry.

Nick: Yeah. Thank you. She just doesn’t think adam deserves any help and she’s blown away that I’m even considering it.

Sharon: Well, I haven’t spoken with sally directly, but I would imagine she’s struggling and I feel for her. She’s probably trying to find her equilibrium after a trauma and that’s hard.

Nick: So, what’s your take? You think I should work with adam?

Jack: If you actually have some genuine affection for ashley, you will call off this foolishness. Forget the wedding. Forget the new company. Don’t you see you are dragging her away from a family company she loves?

Tucker: You’ve really lost your perspective, jack. Jabot is just that. It’s just a company. Nothing more. It’s a profit-and-loss sheet. And it was never john abbott’s heart and soul. Family was, right? So if you want to honor your father, wish your sister well. Toast her new beginning and embrace her impending marriage because that’s what she wants.

Jack: Wow, you can still spin it with the best of ’em, can’t you? You gave up your company, so ashley should give up hers. You selfish son of a bitch. You want everybody else’s life to be as empty and meaningless as yours.

Diane: Okay, sure, I’m bargaining. Whatever you want to call it. I’ll do whatever I can to make jack’s life easier. So, what will it take?

Ashley: Well, a week ago, I would have said just leave, you know. Dump jack and get out of dodge. But now I actually want to pursue this.

Diane: Oh, please.

Ashley: It’s only a matter of time before you do something stupid that undermines my father’s company. Meanwhile, tucker and I will be nurturing our company. Watching it grow and flourish, while jabot fails and flounders because of you. And then we will be there to lend a helping hand.

Diane: You can’t be serious.

Ashley: I am serious, yeah. And then jack will cut you loose because he’ll realize you are the reason why jabot is failing. It will be too late, but you know, at least it’ll happen. And he won’t want to accept our help, but he will remember that our father’s company and our family is the most important thing, diane. And see, you’re never gonna be a true member of our family. You will never be an abbott. Not ever. For as long as you live. For copd, ask your doctor about breztri.

Sharon: The only ones who can decide if it makes sense for you and adam to work together is you and adam. I mean, would he even want that? Did victor ask?

Nick: Didn’t sound like it.

Sharon: Figures.

Nick: I know adam has been emphatic about turning things around on his own. You know, he really wants to turn mccall unlimited into a media powerhouse. Dad keeps offering him advice, but adam just keeps batting it away.

Sharon: Well, if that’s the case, what could you hope to accomplish by working side-by-side with him?

Nick: Keep the peace? Maybe prevent adam from making any bad decisions?

Sharon: If he would be open to that kind of influence. Do you think that adam might take this as a– a sign of lack of faith from victor? Imagine how much that would hurt him.

Nick: Look, I know adam already thinks dad pulled a bait-and-switch. You know, he gave him this conglomerate, but he’s second-guessing everything he’s doing. If you throw me into the mix, as paranoid as adam is, he’s probably gonna think that was what dad’s plan was all along. He might even think dad planted me there as a spy so I can report back on his activities.

Sharon: Sounds like you have quite a few reasons why it simply won’t work.

Nick: Yeah, I mean, it’s a lot of red flags.

Sharon: But you want to do it.

Audra: You have so much to offer newman media, okay? And I need a strong second-in-command, and you have the perfect skill set. You know, finance, operations, so I can concentrate on acquisitions and the creative side of things. Look, I guarantee you, it will be a lot more fun than working in fashion.

Kyle: Not as narrowly focused.

Audra: Exactly. And here’s the kicker. Adam newman is looking to use mccall as a weapon to come after us.

Kyle: You’re kidding me.

Audra: Look, I used to work with tucker, okay. So I know exactly what resources adam can bring to bear. If he can miraculously make a go of it, then newman media might be in peril. So, we need to swing first and swing fast. And I think you’re the perfect man for the job.

Kyle: Well, adam isn’t my favorite person. I like the idea of crushing his plan.

Audra: Then say yes.

[ Kyle sighing ] Why’re you hesitating?

Kyle: For one, my family.

Jack: If you had half as much influence over ashley as you want everyone to think, you would do something about this unhealthy fixation she has on diane.

Tucker: You want to know what I find fascinating, jack? So, dina leaves the family, right? Diane does too, although in a much more gruesome fashion. And just as dina came back–

Jack: I don’t want to hear my mother’s name out of your mouth again. This is about you manipulating my sister.

Tucker: Come on. You don’t actually believe that. She’s so tough and I think that you’re just scared to go toe-to-toe with her. That’s why you out here coming after me. And we both know, she’s just gonna do whatever the hell she wants anyway. Okay? Just admit it. ‘Cause the sooner you do, the sooner you’ll be on your journey to acceptance. Martial arts is my passion.

Nick: I don’t know what I’m thinking yet. But I do know I want your input instead of you dodging the question.

Sharon: Well, like I always say, there are pros and cons to every situation.

Nick: See, there we go. Come on.

Sharon: I suspect you already know what my advice would be.

Nick: Yeah, you think I should do it? Because adam’s grieving. And because he’s my brother. And when he’s like this, he’s a powder keg waiting to explode. So, even if I don’t do it for his sake, I should do it so I can prevent anyone else from becoming collateral damage.

Sharon: So what will you do?

[ Adam sighing ]

[ Sally sighing ]

Adam: I don’t want the darkness to win. I want to believe that there can be healing. And I don’t know, maybe it’s ava’s spirit that’s making me write this letter. She knows that we’ve suffered her loss together. And just as creating her bound us here on earth, losing her binds us for eternity. But I want to be in your life, in the here and now, to support you through this. I’ll be waiting downstairs until noon if you want to talk. Please, don’t let this be goodbye. Adam.

[ Sally sighing ]

Audra: Listen, I’m happy in whatever role your sister deems best for me. And I’m ready to take you down in a corporate battle, if that’s what you’re determined you’ll have.

Adam: Good to know.

Audra: Hm. Well, it’s past noon. I think you’ve been stood up by whoever you’re waiting for.

Adam: You know, you have made a big mistake underestimating me and I hope you get ready for the biggest battle of your life.

Diane: Well, ashley’s in rare form today.

Jack: You shouldn’t have to put up with that.

Diane: Yeah, let’s just go somewhere else, okay?

Ashley: So diane tried her hand at bargaining. She really sucks at it.

Tucker: Yeah and the news hit jack pretty hard.

Ashley: Yeah?

Tucker: It would appear that he’s going to be reaching the depression stage in record time.

Ashley: Oh, boy. You know what? This celebration has gone even better than I was hoping for. Come here.

Audra: You know, maybe it’s time you broke away from the family, the family business. You know, grabbed some freedom. It’s so much easier and cleaner when you go after what you want when you want it. And to hell with expectations.

Kyle: That’s quite an offer. I’m intrigued. Newman media’s going places, that’s for sure. But uh, it’s not really a decision I can make on the spur of the moment.

Audra: Hm. It’d be a lot more palatable than working with your estranged wife.

Kyle: Do you know what I would like to talk about?

Audra: What?

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless…

Tucker: That is a secret weapon. You can also consider it your wedding gift.

Adam: Why in a million years would you think it’s a good idea for the two of us to partner up?

Summer: What’s the news? How’s our mom?

Michael: Brace yourselves. I think she’s ready for her comeback.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

ymmm. That was delicious. Can I have another one? You know it’s all sugar, right? Just 100% sugar. Two — guess who? Uncle chase!

[ Laughs ] What are you guys doing at the bar? Grabbing cocktails before dinner. ‘Cause everybody knows that’s when you have cocktails. Ohh. We know that already, do we? Have you guys seen brook lynn? She bought me a shirley temple. I didn’t realize she was joining us. Uh, that’s okay, isn’t it? Yeah, absolutely. I last saw her out by the pool with tracy. Oh, I better rescue — uh, I better find her. Why on earth would you confess to downloading proprietary information on the deceptor? Why didn’t you just let maxie take the fall? Because I have a conscience, a-a-a-a soul, a shred of decency? And I don’t? And I couldn’t sit and watch maxie and lucy fight. Why not? Because I like them. That’s why I hate doing this so much. Oh, I think you misspoke. You love working at deception. Otherwise, your boyfriend, detective chase, is going to know just what role I played in getting him reinstated at the pcpd. How long are you going to hold this over my head? Ladies. Oh, look who it is. Just who I was looking for. Finn said you were out by the pool. Yeah, we were, but we are done. Good evening, ms. Quartermaine. Detective chase. Busy day keeping the citizens of port charles safe? Anna: So glad you called. I know we haven’t really spoken since my criminal past was splashed across all the newspapers. For the record, that’s not why I haven’t called. No, no, I know. But it’s got to be difficult trying to process how you’re going to be friends with A… basically, a traitor. Uh, no, not for a second. Anyways, how are you handling all that? I don’t know. I mean… I guess I’ve managed to wait out my relevance in the news cycle. It is almost insulting how reporters stop harassing you and just move on to the next thing.

[ Both chuckle ] Count your blessings. Yeah. I feel like my life is probably returning to a new normal. Wait, so you think it’s normal to find the word “murderer” spray-painted on your front door? How are things with trina and curtis? Well, trina — she actually approached me yesterday, and it’s the first time since the wedding, so… oh, my god! Really? That’s amazing! And what about curtis? We…have yet to talk. Oh. And, truthfully, it’s because I’ve been avoiding him. Hey, T. I’m back. Sorry about the interruption. No, it’s cool. You’ve got a club to run. In fact, I should probably get out of your hair. No way, nephew. I’ll always make time for you. I appreciate that. I appreciate you coming to me to talk about you and molly. I know you guys have been dealing with some really heavy stuff lately. That’s an understatement.Well, I just want you to know that if you ever want to talk, I’m here. Thank you. Because, right now, I don’t know how to talk to molly about having a child, or not having a child, without making her feel pressured. Which reminds me — you never did answer my question. How would you feel if molly decides she doesn’t want to have children?

[ Indistinct laughter, chatter in background ] Uh, I got a confession to make. Oh, no. I have to get the phone out, record this, or what? No, no, no, no, no. Um, I-I called you, you know, for dinner under false pretenses. I need a favor. And what is it? Nina and i are getting married… and I wanted to know if you wanted to be my best man.

Great talking to you, grandmother, but chase and I, we have dinner plans, so — romantic night? Just the two of you? Actually, we’re meeting my brother. He and violet are waiting at the bar. Yeah, so we can’t keep them waiting. Good night. How do you know about the spray-paint on my door? How do you think? Valentin. He called me before he left town. Told me about the vandalism at your house. You know, it’s funny. I checked, but there was no police report on the incident. I didn’t make a report. It’s kids. It’s — it’s just a prank. It’s not a major crime. Valentin should not have bothered you with that. Valentin’s worried about you. He feels it’s a bad time for him to be gone, and from what I’m hearing, I agree. Thank you for your concern. It’S… but, surely, as the new deputy mayor, you’ve got bigger things to focus on. How is that going, by the way, your new job? Nice try. No, I’m interested. You’re embarking on a whole new career. I’d love to know all about it. I mean, I haven’t really started yet, so there’s not much to tell. Now back to you. Has there been any fallout from the article? Friends? Family? Well, nobody’s thrilled. Robin — she understands, but emma… mm, it’s a bit more difficult with her. I’m just hoping that, in time, she’ll… give me the benefit of the doubt. And my friends are my friends. And I will always be one of them. I’m very grateful for that. But I do feel that, um, as lucky as I am with the people who love me, there are those that are really angry. And they have every right to be. ‘Cause I… I did hurt a lot of people. That was a long time ago. You’ve helped countless others since then, and what you did was dangerous, no matter whose side you were on. I was on both. That’s the problem. Yeah, well, working undercover is risky and complicated, both physically and emotionally. It takes a toll on you, your relationships, your whole life. Believe me. I know. I know you do. What are you looking forward to in this new job? Well, honestly, I’m hoping it’ll distract me from the rest of my life.

[ Chuckles ] Oh. Yeah. What happened with curtis and the… the kiss. Yeah, that. Yes and no. Well, it looks like the lovely davis women showed up in full force tonight. Well, we sure did. Tj, what are you doing here? Why don’t we have a table over here and let molly and tj have some privacy? Okay, great. I’ll set you up. First drinks are on me. Well, you should know, we are drinking champagne. Club soda for me, thanks. I would expect nothing less. Enjoy your night. Sam, can I talk to you? Yeah, sure. What’s up? Um, I just wanted to check in. How’s drew? How are you? Oh, that’s a good question. Um, man, my head is still spinning. I just don’t know how drew’s plea deal went so wrong. Yeah. I heard that judge might be running for office, so I guess he wanted to prove that he wasn’t soft on white-collar crimes. Yeah, but it still doesn’t justify drew missing three years of his daughter’s life. Molly. I’m sorry. Look, I just came to talk to my uncle curtis. And that’s fine, but — I planned on leaving before you got here. I guess I just — I lost track of time. But you’re here now, so I’m going to head out. You have fun with your mom and your sisters, and I will see you back at home, okay? No, tj. Nothing about this is okay. Uh, yeah. Uh, I’d be honored to be your best man. I appreciate your support when it comes to my relationship with nina. Hey, you gotta do what makes you happy. Yeah. So, uh, when’s the big day? Do you know yet? Uh, sometime in the fall. Oh, wow. Mm-hmm. You’re pretty, uh — pretty close, yeah? Yeah, you know, we wanna keep it simple. Mm, simple? Why is that? Nina doesn’t want a big wedding. Mm-hmm. That the only reason? What? You think no one’s going to show up to my wedding? What? That’s not…

[ Laughs ] Uh, you do have a point there, but, no, that’s not what I was saying. That’s not — so what are you getting at? Are you thinking it’s best to keep a low profile for this wedding because you’re worried there could be trouble? The last time we talked about curtis, you said that you were afraid you might say something out of anger that you didn’t mean. Now, I don’t know what happened between the two of you, but are you still angry about that? Yes. Oh, okay. No hesitation there. Nope. No hesitation here. I am angry, and I’m extremely hurt. The whole situation is — is, um… it’s sad. And I miss curtis. I really do. And I know that we need to talk. But part of me is worried that maybe it’s already too late. I mean, given everything that’s already happened and everything that we’ve done to each other at this point… do we even want to try again? And since you’re avoiding him… no, no, I haven’t talked to him yet. I know that I need to. I totally get why you haven’T…

[ Sighs ] …And why you keep putting it off. It’s like, after so much hurt, you have to consider, is it even fair to ask him to risk his heart again? Are you and finn talking about getting back together again? What? No! N– portia, we’re talking about you. Uh-huh. No, no. Right.

[ Chuckles ] You and finn are getting closer again, aren’t you? Okay, we have been talking about doing stuff together as a family, you know, for the kids. That’s good. Yeah. Yeah, it is. And I don’t think I should push it, though. I mean, this is not just about me and finn. Violet’s happiness is also at stake. And, portia, that little girl wants her dad and me to get back together so badly, she arranged for us to go on a date last night. Oh, a date? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That sweet-faced little girl.

[ Chuckles ] She’s absolutely sneaky, is what she is.

[ Laughs ] Yes, she is. And after it was over, finn just kept profusely apologizing for violet having the wrong idea about us. And if he wants to just be friends, then I don’t want to jeopardize that. And if we were to try again and — and for some reason, i couldn’t make it work, I do not want to be responsible for breaking that little girl’s heart all over again. Elizabeth, is it really violet’s heart that you’re worried about breaking, or is it your own? Where’s brook lynn going? Yeah, we thought you found her. How’d you lose her again so fast? She said she had something urgent. Likely. Where’s dad? Uh, he should be here any minute. Grandpa’s sleeping over tonight. Yeah. Do you want to sleep over, too, uncle chase? You can bring brook lynn. Oh, uh, another time. How’s this weekend? Do you promise? So, we meet again. Yeah, well, it’s been a whole 20 minutes, but always a pleasure.

[ Laughs ] Auntie tracy, look. We’re having cocktails. Wow, you’re starting early. It’s not early. It’s almost dinnertime. Oh. [ Sighs ] Well, that’s — that’s not what I meant. Look, I won’t intrude. I just wanna order some take-out ’cause I hate dining alone. Okay. No, you don’t have to eat alone. Daddy, can auntie tracy eat dinner with us? Eat dinner with us? Well, I don’t think she’d — oh, I’d love to. Thank you so much for your kind invitation. Now we’ll have the same number of boys and girls.

[ Stammers ] But brook lynn is joining us. I know. It’ll be uncle chase and brook lynn, me and daddy, you and… grandpa!

[ Chuckles ] Oh, this is going to be fun. Chase: Hey, dad. How’s it going? I can’t beli

I swear, I was not tryingto intrude on your night out. I know you need time. That’s not why I’m upset.

[ Stammers ] Okay, then? I-I’m upset that you felt like you had to sneak out before I got here. Have I made you feel like I can’t stand to be around you? No, you haven’t, but, to be fair, you didn’t seem all that happy to see me. I-I was just surprised. And then demanding to know what I’m doing here at my uncle’s club? I don’t know. I thought maybe this was… like an ambush? Maybe. Molly. Everything is so scrambled right now. But [Sighs] One thing I do know is that I would never want to chase you away. And I want you to know that I understand if — if you need some time away from me. But I don’t need that. What I need is a break from my fertility issues, not from my life partner. Never from you. And I would never want to shut you out. But if you want to talk, we should talk. Nah. Nah, not tonight. You need a break. Come on. Go have fun. Only if you stay. If you insist. Why, god? Why? What have I done to deserve this? Actually, on second thought, god, don’t answer that. Ms. Quartermaine, I didn’t realize you were joining us. Oh, how could I refuse your delightful granddaughter’s invitation? Speaking of delightful granddaughters… how many do you have? He’s talking about me. And you are delightful. Well, now that she’s finally here, try not to lose her again. Never. Okay. I need a drink. What’s everybody having? The shirley temples are delightful.

[ Chuckles ] I’m going to need something stronger. Much, much,

much stronger. I don’t want to hurt finn or violet or my boys any more than I already have. Elizabeth, you’re making it seem like everything that went down was your fault. Wasn’t it, though? No. As I recall, you both made plenty of mistakes, and you both were trying to protect people that you care about, including one another. What if finn does want to try it out again? What if he doesn’t? Look, I know how hard it can be to put your heart out on the line. I let my fear come between me and curtis. And now, I’ll never know what would have happened if I would have just told curtis the truth from the very beginning. And you’ll never know what’s going to happen if you don’t tell finn how you really feel. You’re right. I’m going for it. Oh. Oh, you’re going — you’re going right now.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah. I-I-if I — if I don’t do it right now, I’m going to lose my nerve. And I know that finn and violet are having a date at the metro court, so I’m — I’m just going to head over there and see what happens. Okay. Yeah, yeah. No, that’s — that’s a great idea. But why don’t you go home first and take a shower and put something on that you really feel good in, and then meet finn? You can show him what he’s really missing. Yeah, that’s a better idea. Portia’s brother? To get over curtis, you slept with — his brother-in-law. Whoa. Yeah. Yeah, I know. I was there. Ohhh! Had I known who he was, I certainly wouldn’t have told him I recently kissed my ex-husband. Would you have slept with him anyway? No! No. The point is, is that when zeke realized who I was, he told portia about the kiss. No! Oh, god. Which was completely unnecessary. Curtis chose portia. Yeah. He decided he wants to save his marriage, which is the only reason why I was even with zeke in the first place. It’s the only reason? Well, not the only reason. Zeke is charming and funny and… is he hot? Oh! [ Laughs ] Like, stupidly hot. There is no reason he should be related to anyone I know. Wow. It really sounds like you guys clicked.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Sighs ] Yeah, but… but what? It doesn’t really matter now. Why? Did zeke leave town or something? Something went down the night of the nurses’ ball. There were shots fired in the warehouse district. You’ve been beefing up your security detail. I mean, that’s the word on the street. I don’t know what to tell you. Speaking of your security, where’s — where’s dex? Why? ‘Cause he’s joined at your hip. Dad, like, he even was staying with you for a while, wasn’t he? What’s with the questions? I mean, what are you — what are you fishing for?

ou to be my best man — and I proudly accepted. Thank you. But what’s with all the questions? I just — unless the pcpd is trying to pin something on me. No one’s trying to pin anything on you. Dad, we have an agreement, right? Right. You don’t tell me about your business, I don’t ask. But here you are, asking.

[ Chuckles ] I’m not asking you as a cop. I’m asking as your son. Okay, I don’t want details. I just — I’ve noticed some changes in your routine. I have everything under control. You don’t have to worry about it. Yeah, well, I can’t help it. Why? Because you’re a cop? No. Because I’m your son.

[ Laughing ] Auntie tracy, look at this one. Gregory: Oh. [ Laughs ] Hey, uh… are you feeling okay? I guess. I’m sorry my grandmother hijacked our dinner. Yeah, I’m kind of surprised she stayed. You don’t think…? No, it’s a crazy idea. What? I was just wondering, do you think tracy’s lonely? She’s something, alright.

[ Finn speaking indistinctly ] So, tell me, how you doing? How are things going between you, trina, and portia? Well, things between trina and I were getting good, and then I messed up things with portia, so — what do you mean, messed up? Messed up how badly? You know, sam…

[ Sighs ] …I just hope trina and i can get through it. I’ve always admired portia and trina’s relationship, and, subconsciously, I always knew that if I was to establish a relationship with trina, that it would be secondary, right? There’s something about knowing she’s my daughter, that — that I’m her father, her biological father, that just — just makes it different. Yeah, I get that. I mean, before you found out portia is what connected you, now you and trina have your own connection, whether you and portia stay together or not. I sure hope we do. Good. I just — I really hope that trina and I can, you know, learn to be father and daughter, you know, no matter what. You will. How can you be so sure? Because I know you. And that gives me faith that things will work out. Yeah. You know, sometimes, sam, you just… it just — it feels like it takes a lifetime to get to know someone, right? And then you look back and you realize…

[ Scoffs ] …It was just the blink of an eye. Like my father, for instance. I thought I would never, ever let that man back into my life after he abandoned us. And look at us now. I just wish I’d let him in sooner. Exactly. And, sooner or later, trina is going to realize that. And then she’s going to regret all the time that she spent being angry at you and judging you. Because in the end, we never have enough time with the people we love.

[ Locker door slams ] Hi, dr. Robinson. Looking good. Oh, thank you. Heading home? Nope. I’m going out. Good for you.

[ Chuckles ] Is that him? Mm-hmm. Hey, jordan. Zeke. This is my friend, anna. Anna, this is portia’s brother, zeke. Hi. Nice to meet you. Hey. Very nice to meet you, too. Well, I don’t mean to interrupt. Then I guess I’ll see you around. Wow. Okay. Um, actually, I have a phone call that I have to make. Really? Really. Yeah. So, if you’ll excuse me. Sure. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, too. You don’t have to stay. Oof. Uh…

[ Chuckles ] Jordan, I know my timing was bad coming to your office when curtis was there. You think so? Please, will you hear me out?

[ Cellphone rings ] Hi, anna. Hi, sonny. Um, where are you? I — I have to talk to you about something. I’m with dante right now. We’re just wrapping up dinner at the metro court. I can come to you. Where are you? Well, I’m here, too, actually. I’m out by the pool. Alright, I’ll be there. I know you’re mad at me for telling my sister about you kissing curtis. I’m not mad at you. You sure? ‘Cause you seemed mad. Okay, look, you still seem mad. I was mad at you because you didn’t give me a heads-up. Not because you told portia about me and curtis. She’s your sister, and you want to protect her. I get that. If portia had found out about the kiss and you didn’t tell her, she’d feel betrayed. Yeah. And families shouldn’t keep secrets like that from each other. I mean, you barely even know me, so… well, I’d like to change that. Now that we’ve cleared the air, let’s just start over.

[ Sighs ] I think it’s a little late for that. Doesn’t have to be. But that’s up to you. How about it? Will you give me another chance?

Everything cool with anna? Yeah, she’s good. She just wants to talk to me. Uh, we’re good? Yeah, dad, we’re great. You know, I just — I want you to be careful. You, too. Okay. Uh, anna’s by the pool. You want to say hi? Uh, you know, I would love to, but, uh, I should get out of here. I gotta get dessert home to the kids. Alright. Especially scout. She could, uh, use the pick-me-up. How’s she doing? Uh, not great. She’s doing her best, but not great. It’s tough, you know? Give her my love. Yeah, I will. Same with anna. And — and, you know, keep me posted on what you and nina got going, right? I don’t want to be accused of shirking my duties as best man.

[ Laughs ] Don’t want to mess it up. Alright. I love you. Alright. Love you, too, man. Later. So, brook lynn, how is it being back at deception? What can I say? Glad to be back. Things must be very busy over there, what with the success of your new product. What is it called? The deceptor. Yes, we are very busy. Last time we spoke, you were really excited about focusing on your songwriting. You’ll still be able to do that if you’re working full time? Thank you for meeting me. You look good. Oh, thanks. Better than I did the other night, probably. Thank you for coming over when you did. Really helped me feel a little less lonely. You didn’t have to see me to thank me. No, no. That’s not what I’m doing. I have a message from valentin. So, for what it’s worth, our night together wasn’t just about sex. Not for me. Yeah, well, it was for me. Oh. At least, that’s what I wanted it to be. But it wasn’t? Just that, I mean. See, I-I thought we really had some potential. Like, and before everything else went down and before it all got crazy, I was really looking forward to maybe seeing you again. Yeah? Mm-hmm. Well, for what it’s worth, I felt the same way. Great. Now let’s start over. Look, I just started a new job, and I am beyond busy. Yeah, uh, hello? I’m a lawyer. I’m always busy, too.

[ Laughs ] But…we both appear to be free right now.

[ Sighs ] Have dinner with me. So how’s it going? Tell me about your plans for the shelter. I’m so glad you asked. I had a really interesting lunch with the head of the food pantry. Oh, that’s the place you’re volunteering, right? Yes. Yeah. He really helped me understand the whole manpower end of things, like how much staff I’ll have to hire and what tasks I can give out to volunteers to handle. That’s great. Yeah, I mean, it’s a lot, but I think now that i understand what I’m up against, I don’t know, mom, I think I can pull this off. I know you can pull this off, and I’m very, very proud of you. This may come as a shock to you — oh, gosh. What? Go ahead. I’m proud of myself, too. Mm. Yeah, getting this shelter off the ground is going to be a lot of work. Way more than I ever imagined when I first came up with the idea. But I’m going to see this through right to the end. See, I knew if you found the right thing, that you would soar. Well, I don’t know if I’m soaring necessarily. I don’t even know if I’m on the runway. There’s just so much I don’t know. Okay, so what you don’t know, you’ll learn. And if it’s too much to learn — and it most likely will be — you’ll hire somebody that can advise you. I know this is going to be great. You can do this. Thank you. Oh, brook lynn’s just being practical. It’s always good to have back-up when you’re working in the arts. Well, I hope you keep writing songs, brook lynn. I really enjoy listening to them, especially when chase is singing it. Inspiration happens when it happens. And brook lynn can do anything that she sets her mind to. Whatever it is, it’ll work out. Finn, you’ve been quiet. Hmm? How can you tell?

[ Laughs ] What have you been up to? Oh, uh, besides work, nothing much. Daddy, tell them about your date. Will the shelter provide basic medical care? I definitely want it to. Lgbtqia+ teens really tend to avoid going to doctors because they’re concerned that their gender identity isn’t going to be accepted, but, honestly, I — I just don’t know if it’s feasible. Well, let me know if I can help on that end, or at all. Whatever you need. Thank you. Oh, my god. Tj, you should be on the board. Well, it’s a not-for-profit, so I do need to assemble a board before we break ground — before we do anything, really. Well, honey, you can’t do everything yourself. You’re running a business. You’re the boss. And delegation is the key, right? “Delegation”? Yeah. Who are you and what have you done with our mother? Alright. Delegation sounds great. I — I still want to retain final say, but I also am just worried that I’m not going to be able to be with the kids directly. You know, I’m going to miss helping them. I don’t want to be stuck behind a desk all day. Then schedule it. I mean, plan it. That’s what mom or molly would do. Molly: We totally would. You have to set aside time in your schedule to talk with the kids one on one. That way, you can support the kids who need more structure and the ones who need more freedom. Let’s get the champagne? Curtis: Let’s do it. Yes, let’S. Okay. So, uh… things good with you and molly? Somehow, they are. You were right. We’ll get through this. I don’t know if a kid is in my future, but molly definitely is. Well, I’m glad to hear that. You don’t mind if I take off, do you? Yeah, I’m good. And thank you for listening. Anytime, nephew. So, uh… where you headed? I think it’s time that I take my own advice.

are you ready to dance? Thought you’d never ask. You guys coming? Um, mom and I are going to wait for kristina. Yeah, I’ll be there in one second. I just have to… okay, well, don’t be too long. Well, I’m glad. It looks like molly’s feeling a little better. Yes, I’m very glad that she’s giving herself a break from all the pressure she’s put on herself. We just have to really make sure that molly knows that she’s not alone in this. Molly knows that we all have her back. Of course. I just — I know that it’s their decision, but selfishly, I really hope they move forward with having a baby. Well, I mean, so do I. But if that’s what makes them happy. We’re not going to pressure them into anything, right? No. Of course. Of course. Yeah, I know. I just — I just wish there was something we could do to help them make this decision easier. That’s it. Why didn’t I think of that before? So, you are aware, obviously, that valentin went with laura to help find her son, right? Yeah. Charlotte’s staying with sam and dante. Dante filled me in, but I’m just surprised why valentin would have you pass along the message. I mean, him and I really don’t say much to each other. No? No. Oh, well, um… obviously, I wouldn’t normally be a go-between with something quite so… precarious. Not even for valentin. Why now? I know that you’re involved with a business venture with valentin, or he’s, rather, involved with you. That’s literally all I know. I don’t know any of the details, and don’t think I really want to. But right before he left, he got a message. And, um, knowing that you prefer to do any kind of business in person rather than over the phone, he wanted me to pass on the message. Okay, go ahead. You’re not to speak to anyone new. If your contact person is to change, do not proceed until you’ve spoken to your original contact person. Does that make sense? Yeah. Do you want to tell me what’s going on with valentin, why you would be in any kind of business with him? I don’t know how this is going to work. Only one way to find out, right? Yeah, but then what? This situation is just too messy. When you told me that you were done with your ex, did you mean it? Yeah. We are over. Whatever happens between portia and curtis, I’m moving on. So what’s stopping us from seeing each other?

[ Sighs ] I don’t know, zeke. Reality. I’m sure portia has already given you an earful on why you should avoid me like the plague. I don’t let my family dictate who I see. Do you? I don’t want to cause problems between you and your sister. Portia will cope. Yeah. You think so? I think someone’s tired, and we’re going to be heading home. Come on. But I’m not tired. Oh, we’ll see, sweetie, come on. You got it.Oh, boy. Finn, thank you so much for allowing me to join your family for dinner. It was — it was surprisingly fun having you here. And for me, as well. Thank you. And you. Yes? Uh, you’re a lucky man. I know. Thank you. It’s great to see you, dad. See you at the next tea party.

[ Laughs ] Sounds good. Brook lynn, always a pleasure. You can’t imagine how nice that is to hear. I think I can. Take care, you two. Have a great night. Night, finn. Goodnight. Violet: Bye.

[ Laughs ] Brook lynn, see you at home. Don’t stay out too late. You have to go to work tomorrow. Goodnight, granny. So, what do you say, you and me, we get a nightcap at the pool bar? I’d love to. Great. The sooner the better. There’s something I need to ask you first. Hi. Aunt elizabeth, you lo

Oh, why, thank you, violet. You look beautiful. Thank you. Wait, are you guys leaving? Uh, no. Violet and I are — are heading home. But finn could stay. I can stay? Yeah, you can stay. I can stay. Yeah. Whatever it is, can we talk about it on the way to the bar? Brook lynn, what’s going on with you? Something’s been off with you all evening. I know. And her name is granny. I’m always on edge around her. It’s not just tracy. When my dad asked you about your job, I knew that I was right. About what? Your work at deception. Your heart’s not in it. You don’t want to be there. Of course I do. It’s just — it’s my day job. Exactly. You would rather be writing music and managing artists. So I got to ask — why’d you go back? It solves so many problems. I m– I mean, it’s perfect. I shudder to think. What? Wait, what’s your big idea? I can be molly and tj’s surrogate.

[ Chuckles ] So this is why you’re not taking my calls, huh? On a little date with jordan? Portia, that’s not what’s — what else did valentin say? Gun! Everybody down!

[ Gunshot ]

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

abe, my friend,

best friend of man, could ever have.

Humana been part of my life for such a long time.

Just knowing you were there,

comfort me

and you know exactly what to say to. Help me

get outta my own head.

I wonder if you ever knew what that meant to me and how I treasured of, I’m French.

We gave it our all. Buddy, we, we searched for you. I alone,

and then,

and then Steve and John. Me, you know, doing whatever I could to help. We, and we, we beat the bushes, we, we canvassed the whole damn town, including these docks. So I don’t understand, but I don’t damn well understand

going hell. Why in the hell we can never find you? Before, before

God part.

She So I,

you were such a special man. God was you special.

Pete and I, we’ll both miss you so much.

No.

Gabby, what are you doing in Megan’s room? What the hell are you doing In my sister’s bed?

So just to be clear, you. You just said yes. Yes. And just to be extra clear, yes. Demetri, I will marry you.

Well, Mr. Stock, I’m waiting. Would you mind telling me why you were robbing my ancestral home? Robbing. That is a strong word. Why would you think I was robbing? I. Oh, this isn’t the cork screw I was looking for. Silly me. Speaking of which I hear it’s like Tuscany down in that cell, an abundance of exceptional wines for every pallet.

You may wanna try the kitchen. Yeah. Um, there’s a corkscrew, I think, in the drawer, in the left hand side, right underneath the espresso machine. Will do. Thank you. Great. Leo, that was sarcasm. Oh, and here, I thought you were being gracious and hospitable. Look, I don’t know what you’re doing, but you’re gonna have plenty of time to talk with Salem’s Finest.

You see, I’m gonna call the police. I’m calling.

The judge called us into Tams right after he broke for lunch. Hey, hey, no worries. I uh, got us drinks. Oh good. I see it’s like 95 degrees outside

something the matter, you know, what’s the matter? Sean, you’re on duty. Do you think you should be drinking?

Like Sam through the hour class, so are lives,

oh, come on, Kristin, the police. There is no crime being committed here. I’m just a normal everyday guy. Who’s studying for his sommelier exam in October. Okay. You know, just stop the adorable little yarn before you even put a spin on it. What were you doing forcing your way into that drawer? I. Okay. I’m not studying to be a someone, but it is on my bucket list and I am something of a wine connoisseur.

Mm-hmm. And also a jewelry connoisseur as well. Yeah. I believe it was a little over a year ago when you broke in here and stole my sister-in-law, Abigail’s precious gems. And that was also the night she just happened to be murdered, which I had nothing to do with. And believe me, I have paid the consequences of my ill timed revenge kick witch along with smoking and snorting baby powder.

I’m totally off of now, I swear. So what pretail are you on now? I’m not on anything. I am merely in search of the truth, an honorable and noble pursuit. No. And what truth are you in pursuit of Mr. Stock? I’m trying to get the goods on D V L.

So you mean it, you’ll really marry me. Yes. Yes. I mean, how many languages would you like me to say? Hate in Portuguese or Cantonese, perhaps. No, no, no. English is fine. I’m just, I’m, I’m surprised, delighted, don’t get me wrong, but surprised. Yes. Well, I, I know I, I was hesitant at the beginning, but um,

I changed my mind, obviously when your mother was shot, so you said yes. Because of my mother,

come sit with me. Mm-hmm.

It was partly because of what your mother said when we went to go and visit her in the hospital. What she said about seizing opportunities with courage and not letting life pass you by.

But really it was you. I could see how much you love her and how scared you were to lose her,

and

it was more to it than that. I just suppose I saw another side to you, Dimitri’s side, that’s tender and. Vulnerable. One that doesn’t really get a lot of air time, if you will.

And I looked at you and I realized that you are. You are not just some criminal mastermind in more than that. You are not just some man who imprisoned Kate on that fishing boat. Or tried to blow up the whole bloody world with an almanian peacock.

You’re human. Dimitri,

a beautiful human at that.

What am I doing here? What? What do you think I’m doing here? Does it look like it’s by choice? Well, I mean, I wouldn’t think you and Stephan would choose Megan wrong for your kinky sex rom. Not funny. And where the hell is Megan? Well, that’s the burning question, unfortunately. See, I came here to see that.

Sick bitch was the one behind Harris’ attempt on Stephan’s life because Lee kept on insisting that she was the mastermind behind it all. So I figured the only way to know the truth is to come here and confront her face to face.

Hi. Hi.

I just thought I’d come down and pay my respects as well.

It’s just so senseless, unfair that he’s gone so soon.

How are you? Oh, well, with the baby, I hope. Yeah, I, uh, I had a follow up appointment with the doctor and she said that everything seems fine. That’s great. I’m sure HJ thinks so too.

Actually he wasn’t there.

Gabby, you were right about me. My just hypnotized me. Long story short, a memory surface of my sister admitting that she was gonna have Stephan killed. Oh my God. That’s psychopath. Mm. I came here to choke the truth out of her. Oh, I came up here to do the same. And it appears she turned the tables on you, but considering she’s recovering from a gunshot wound, how the hell does she manage that?

It’s like you said, it’s 90 something degrees out. I mean, I can’t help it if I’m thirsty Bell. It’s just, it’s a beer. That’s it. John, you’re working and I’m on my lunch break. All right. I’m not drunk.

What? What? Go ahead. Go ahead and tell me what you’re thinking. You know what I’m thinking, what That I, that I have a drinking problem. But then I need to go to aa. Maybe I need to get a sponsor. I need to make amends to the, to the kid whose m and ms I stole in the second grade. Is that just to get him close there?

Huh? Okay. You know, Shawn, I have tried to give you space because I know that you’re in pain. I know that you’re, you’re suffering terribly about what happened with your dad, and I get it. I get that you feel a lot of guilt and regret, and you’re trying to numb that with alcohol. But I am not gonna enable this anymore.

This has to stop. D V L. What the hell is that? Uh, your nephew, Dimitri von Leischner. Does that ring a bell? Well, why the hell would you wanna get the goods on him? Oh my God. Are you hing a schoolboy crush? Perhaps? No. I’m not harboring anything but suspicion and a desire to make sure that my friend Gwen, whom he’s weirdly determined to marry, does not get hurt.

Well, that is a hell of a way to get yourself uninvited from the wedding. Mr. Breaking and entering. Well, maybe you could get a job on the catering staff. Hmm. Well, since I was summarily dismissed from my last catering job, after the hostess caught me eating artichoke cini and her heart-shaped jacuzzi, highly unlikely.

Let’s just get back to the topic at hand, shall we? It is rather presumptuous of you to think that my nephew ISN insincere in his marriage proposal. Oh, please. I have seen videos of kittens riding on robot vacuums that have gone on longer than those two know each other. Don’t you remember any of this? I told you about it when I found you and EJ in the secret room and you said it sounded vaguely familiar.

Are you telling me you have no idea why Dimitri is so eager to get Gwen to say I do? Even if that means deceiving a woman who is apparently a good friend of yours. Are you sure you don’t have a problem with me using Gwen to get what I want?

Oh, Gwen, you just make me so happy whenever I’m with you. I, I always feel like the man that I always was meant to be. You’re the only one that can bring who’s ever brought that out in me, and I promise you. You will not regret this. I bloody hope not. At least not before I publish the engagement announcement in this spectator.

Well, speaking of shall we make it official?

Oh boy.

So beautiful, Dimitri. It’s beautiful.

My beautiful ring for my beautiful bride to be.

Hey, Jay, didn’t go to your appointment with you. Well, he and Kristen went to see your mother to see if she could help them, remember why Megan pulled them into that secret room. But don’t you think EJ could have waited till after you’ve gone to your doctor’s appointment? I mean, considering the scare you had the other day?

He wanted to go to my appointment, but I told him it was more important that he recovered his memory, if that’s even possible, to make his lunatic sister pay for what she’s done. So this never happens again. I’m sorry. Completely none of my business. I was just concerned about you after the scare you had.

Thank you, Eric. But EJ is also concerned about his unborn child and he loves this baby and he loves me

and I love him.

Well, I showed up here and there she was, Megan Demara lying in this bed, helpless, like a little turtle on its back. I had her right where I wanted. She was about to tell me the truth that she si Harris on Stephan. And then somebody grabbed me from behind. Who? Dr. Rolfe. Rolfe. He was the one who did this to you?

Yeah. He surprised me, but I could have taken that bastard easy. So he struggled a little bit and then he managed to get the better of me. So you are saying this isn’t one of those, you should see the other guy type of thing? Unfortunately not. Okay. But wait, what prompted Dr. Rolfe to come back? Apparently he was keeping tabs on EJ and Kristen and when he found out that they had recovered their memories, he showed up here to whisk Megan away to safety.

Bitch didn’t even leave me or applesauce. Do you have any idea where they went? No, I don’t know, but Rolfe mentioned something about a submarine.

I shouldn’t question AJ’s devotion to you or the baby. It’s just. You need your reaction after all those weeks that he left you alone.

I understand. And I, I’m sorry too. I I didn’t mean to jump down your throat. No, you don’t have to be,

can’t imagine the pain you’re going through right now after everything that’s happened with the baby and no. It’s just, it’s just so heartbreaking.

I know this has gotta be painful for you too.

Thank you.

It’s just, I still can’t believe he’s gone. I. And it’s so unfair. He was such a good man, and the only reason this happened was because he was looking out for Paulina and Chanel. I mean, he looked out for everybody that he loved and he always looked out for me, that’s for sure. Like your father. And now I just.

I know. I’ll miss him. I’ll miss him.

Well, EJ shot outta here like a rocket. As much as I wanted to catch Megan. I’m sure she’s at the bottom of the C bite now. No, I used to, I used to date a submariner. I remember him talking about one of the cooks made it to die for her lobster. This, oh, fascinating. You know what, instead of blathering on about C, why don’t you help me outta these cuffs?

Oh, oh, oh, of course. That’s right. Oh, wait a minute. I forgot my trustee. Hacksaw. Yeah. Wasn’t thinking so. Call the cops. Cops. Yeah. Who else? I mean some. I’m sure somebody in the department will take an interest in freeing the commissioner’s sister.

Uh huh. What is that number? You know the number. And as soon as you’re done, why don’t you tell me why you’re even here. Got a dog in this fight, Kate.

You know, I’m fine. Fine. You’re the boss, Sean. You know what? Actually, why don’t I skip lunch too? Hmm. I mean, who needs to eat anyway? Right? And you know what? While I’m at it, why don’t I just go turn in my badge and join a monastery like son, stop. What are you doing? I lost my appetite, bill. And you know what?

And since you’re so tired of finding empty bottles, There you go. I left you a full one.

What was that all about?

You’re remembering something, aren’t you? That is the face of someone remembering something.

In any case, when I do convince Gwen to marry me, it’ll be for richer and not for poorer. You, uh, may be onto something about Dimitri having an underlying agenda. Oh my God, Kristen Deira. If you remember your Prodigal nephew’s real reason for wanting to marry Gwen, then in the name of all that is holy spill the tea.

Please look, like I said before, this is not about me. This is about my best friend she deserves to know, and, and you care about Gwen, right? The two of you were cellmates at Statesville. And I’ve seen the Shawshank Redemption twice. Well, it caught bits and pieces enough to know that the two of you must have had a special bond.

We were cellmates for all of 24 hours. Not sure how much special bonding we achieved. Yeah, Kristen, look, if you know that Dimitri is going to break Gwen’s heart into a million little pieces, You owe it to her to tell me,

I hate to do this, but what? I should go right now. I need to tell my mother. I need to tell her the the wonderful news. Wait, can’t we just. Mm. I don’t know. Can’t we just like track down a, a carrier pigeon or something to give her the message? God. Okay. Right. Yes. Fine. That’s your mother. Something wrong. No, it, it’s just, I don’t know.

I just. Ah, I just thought maybe just, maybe we could, um,

So he’s hitting a bottle hard, huh? Yeah. He’s still struggling with what happened with Beau. Damn. I was hoping he, he’s up on himself on there. Yeah. Well, he’s not, I keep telling him there’s nothing he could have done differently, know that he was just forced to make a terrible choice. I told him that. Told him the same damn thing, but doesn’t say more than I hear.

Yeah, but that’s the thing is he knows nobody blames him. He just can’t stop blaming himself. Okay. The police are on their way. Yeah. I guess we’ll just listen to the sirens. Hmm. Hopefully they get here before I start to chafe. Oh, do you want me to call them? Tell them to stop for some hour along the way?

No, actually, I’d like for you to answer the question that I asked earlier. That’s so funny. I don’t remember a question. Anyway, I have to get going. So stop right there. Okay. See, I know you, I know you very well and I know when you’re hiding something, and I’m guessing it has to do with Megan, and if that’s true, it’s very important that I know.

So tell me. How are you involved with her?

Oh, each, uh,

I was just leaving flowers for Aen. I pumped into Eric. Uh, It looks like a very moving tribute. He was obviously loved by many. But what, what are you doing here? Did you get a chance to see Marlena? I did. Yes. Yes, I did. Uh, your mother’s hypnosis proved quite effective memories of what occurred, and that secret room came flooding back.

And once they did, I took it upon myself to confront Megan Mano, or Mano only to find and much to my displeasure that she’s absconded from the hospital. What, how it appears Wilhelm Rolfe provided a helping hand. Do you have any idea where they could have gone well here? Oh, so I thought apparently Elvis had the same idea that I had because when I arrived at the hospital, I found Gabby Hernandez trust up in Megan’s handcuffs, courtesy of.

Dr. Rolfe, but Gabby did say before Megan was spirited away, that Rolfe mentioned something about a, a submarine, which is why I came down to the docks. But if my sister was here, um, it appears she’s long gone.

How am I involved with Megan? Oh, let’s see. That’s right. She’s the one who tried to have me killed. So you came by to what? Finish her off. No, that sleeping with the fishes isn’t exactly what the monster deserves.

So tell me, which one of you idiots let Megan Hathaway escape

you? You’re right When, and I did bond when we were at Statesville. I taught her everything she needs to know about Texas. Hold. Great. Great. So then you’ll help her. I already have, as I informed my nephew when I got the pardon from the governor, I got one for Gwen as well. So if anything Miss Riz check.

Well, she’s in debt to me. Uh ooh. If we’re talking about debts, then you, Sirina, Deira are in Deto. Tomio. Am I. And how’s that? Well, if I hadn’t been Johnny on the spot and shown up when I did, you and EJ would still be tied up in the secret room. Well then I’ll just make sure to send you one of those edible arrangements.

So that’s it. You de mirrors just close ranks and screw everybody else. We de mirrors protect what’s ours speaking of, are you gonna shove off? What do I actually have to call the police?

Fine, I’ll go. But word of warning. This is not the last you have seen of Mr. Leo Stark. A K a Maddie Cooper. But do not ever call me that. Only when he gets to.

You know, it might not be the, um, most appropriate time to bring up. Mothers. But, um, I think yours would be quite pleased to know what kept her waiting, but perhaps just, um, leave out the specifics of why we were delayed. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Definitely not. No, I would say we just keep it to, we got held up celebrating.

I know how it’s possible, but somehow you are more enchanting every single time. I,

I can’t wait to,

and why should we wait? We can go to the courthouse right now. We could be legally married by this afternoon. Before they even throw out the first pitch, the Cubs came.

Are you serious? You get married today? Yeah. With the heading of strike while the iron’s hot. Mm. I’m not really sure that that applies to its marriage. Um, and I, I’ll admit, I what

I. Hoping for something just a wee bit more romantic, huh? Well, what could be more romantic than the two of us proclaiming our undying love for each other? Just you and me.

Just you? Me? Mm-hmm. And the county clerk. I mean, it’s not exactly eloping to some nice tropical island. Is it saying our vows under the cover of darkness? I think it’d be nice to have a swaying palm tree close by, perhaps some dolphins doing some sorts in the background. So you want to get married in the screensaver.

Are you suggesting that I’m shallow? Mr. Vaughn Ner? Never. No. I was just teasing because that’s the last thing you are, that’s kind of you.

Honestly, I don’t, I don’t even know what I want, which is why I was hoping for the time to figure it out before we say I do. Really? What’s the hurry darling?

Damn, some young entrepreneurs should, uh, disrupt the handcuff industry. Find something a little smoother on the wrist. Okay, so lemme get this straight here. So, okay, so, so Megan escaped in a submarine. Yeah. I mean, I, I don’t know, obviously, but the Rolf mentioned he had one. Yeah. Well, did he mention, was it yellow?

Was Ringo star waiting to board? Uh, how long ago did they leave? I don’t know, an hour, give or take. Okay, good, good. Maybe there’s a chance I can still catch up with him.

Okay. So if he thinks he’s going to catch up with Megan and Rolf, he’s the one that’s an idiot. Well, the police are on their way and not that it will do much good. I assume Megan is halfway to Bermuda by now. Okay. Listen, I know it’s gonna take time. But justice will catch up to her eventually. One can help.

So, um, how did it go with the doctor? Well, she said the same thing that Tripp said in the er, that the baby is perfectly healthy. Thank God that is, that is brilliant news. Mm-hmm. Oh, that reminds me, I, uh, made arrangements with that, uh, specialist, the perinatologist. I’m flying her back in. I think she’d rather appreciated the first class ticket.

Oh, ej. But I, I told you the baby’s fine. So there’s no needs. I have every faith in your physician. I just, I just wanted to bring Dr. Laurenson back into the fold because I hated that I missed the first appointment with her. Especially since she gave you such excellent news about the baby and over the coming months.

I want to learn everything I can about what we need to do in preparation for bringing our baby into this world, and I want to do that as a couple together.

You’re absolutely right. Of course there’s no rush. It’s just that I’ve been waiting for someone like you my entire life, and I’m a little bit impatient, obviously.

Yes, I know the feeling. It’s just that, um, after one rather disastrous attempt. I’ve never been married before, and so I really, I really wanna make it something special.

I promise you, Glen, it will be. So how does the end of the month sound? It is enough time for you to gather a few girlfriends for a bridal shower in the next couple of weeks and have to make some phone calls, but if it all works out, I think I might have a fabulous destination in mind at the end of this month.

Oh, yeah, isn’t time for my birthday? My, uh, my 40th actually. Oh yes. Um, how’s that relevant? Well, now it’s gonna sound a bit silly, but, um, well, I made a promise to myself a while back that, that I would be married by the time I turned 40, and I hate breaking promises, especially to myself, but my 40, oh, um, well, it just feels like a significant milestone.

Uh, it’s a time where I should finally become the man. I’m meant to be a man who is mature and um, A man who was settled,

a man that you deserve, Gwen,

right then we shall celebrate my husband’s 40th birthday. Right after our very fabulous wedding.

Okay, Dimitri, you gorgeous little international fugitive. Surely you’ve left some breadcrumbs for lady whistleblower, something that will explain why you are so eager to get hitched

Dema. You sweet smelling. Son of a bitch.

Oh no, Leo, focus. You’re here for Gwen. Remember

nothing. Nothing. I feel like Geraldo and Al Capone’s Vault. Hi, Leo. You’re dating yourself.

Oh, I pray that the Salem PD steps up to the plate this time and finds that damn submarine. Well, considering all the havoc that Megan’s inflicted on everyone, I’m sure they’re highly motivated.

Listen, I, I just wanna say that. When you showed up on the docks and saw me hugging Eric, you, you don’t have to explain. Well, I, I feel like I, DOJ you were visiting Abe’s Memorial. It makes sense that you would see comfort in your friend, and that’s all it was. I, I’m really grateful that you understand.

Nicole, we love each other. We’re having a baby together. That’s all that matters to me, and I promise you this,

my priority from now on is you and me and a precious little baby.

Hey, you’re site for Surah. Wow. Hey, tough morning. Hey. Uh, yeah, it was kind of where you in? Uh, the hospital. Oh, the hospital? Yes. I wanted to go by and check up on Command Harris, make sure he doesn’t get into any anymore trouble, you know? You know what though? Macon escaped while I was there. What? Yeah. What did police say?

Well, yes, Shawn, Shawn showed up right when I was leaving. He’s on the case, you know, so hopefully they find her.

Hey mom, it’s me, Shawn. Uh, listen, um, I hate pulling you away from dad like this, but, uh, there’s something that you need to know, but Megan, she’s on the loose again. Look, I like, I hate scaring you like this, but I just need to make sure that you’re being extra careful. All right. The last thing I want is for you and dad to get hurt any worse than you already have been.

Yeah, of course, of course. I love you too. And, um, tell dad, tell dad that I love him and that I’m thinking about him. I’m thinking about him every second of every day and not that, not that he can hear you. Yeah, no. Of co Yeah, of course. I may. Yeah. You know what? Maybe he can, I, I, yeah, I hope so. Listen, so I, if anything changes, I will let you know as soon as possible.

Okay. All right, bye.

Hello? Hello, Kristen, I heard about your ordeal in the Dema Secret Room. Uh, well, nothing a, uh, bitter tasting cappuccino won’t fix. Well, I’m glad to see you are None the worst for wear. Mm. Well, my memory’s still a little fuzzy and, uh, few unsettling dreams, but, uh, other than that, no lasting damage, hopefully.

Oh, how are you? I’m engaged.

I’ve got you now. Z Yvonne Leischner.

Star, how are you doing in my room? What am I doing? I’m about to expose you for the malicious swindler You are? No, no, no. Dvl. The jig is up. You’re only marrying Gwen to get your hands on this money. That’s preposterous. Oh yeah. We’ll see about that. Where do you think you’re going to tell Gwen everything And there’s nothing you can do to stop me?

No, I think there is.

Thomas: Everything’s gonna be all right.

Hope: No, it won’T. Because liam saw me kiss you in rome.

Wyatt: Hey. Hi. I heard you were in here. Just didn’t know you were coming back today, considering– so how did it go with hope? That good, huh?

Steffy: I thought I made myself clear back in rome. Look, I– I know you’re going through a lot right now. You’re freaking out about what you saw. Hope and thomas kissing and maybe you think that you made a mistake putting your trust in hope. I don’t know. But I feel bad for you. I really do. But you can’t come here and kiss me. I am a married woman, liam. Happily married. You need to respect that.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door opens ]

Finn: Hey.

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: Tried calling you. You okay? I’m sure thomas freaked when he realized his secret kiss with hope isn’t a secret after all.

Steffy: Thomas was totally blindsided when I told him I knew about the kiss.

Finn: He had no idea that anyone saw him at the colosseum with hope?

Steffy: No.

Finn: Hm.

Steffy: He was pretty upset when I told him. And he was concerned about hope and her marriage and he urged me not to say anything. But he was even more stunned to hear that I heard about the kiss from liam.

Wyatt: So what happened with you and hope?

Liam: I mean, she apologized. She… asked for forgiveness.

Wyatt: I mean, I still can’t believe she’d do something like this. I mean, jeopardize your marriage just to kiss thomas.

Liam: Neither can I.

Wyatt: So? Were you able to do what she asked though? Have you gotten to a place where you can maybe forgive her and save your marriage?

Hope: You know, liam warned me. My mom warned me, but I insisted that everything was fine. You know, you were his biggest fear in our marriage. And what did I do? I– I kissed you. Me. I did that… to my marriage, to my family and now my whole world is… upside down. Want luxury hair repair that doesn’t cost $50?

Steffy: Thomas was shocked that liam saw hope kissing him. He didn’t even know liam was in rome. Thomas said that they were just caught up in the moment after the preview. That’s all it was. But honestly, he didn’t really have any excuses. He wasn’t defending himself. He just feels terrible and he doesn’t want hope to end up hurt.

Finn: But hope had no intention of telling her husband?

Steffy: I guess not.

Finn: Hm. Yeah, she put my brother in a terrible position.

Finn: True. But thomas is a grown man. He could have stopped hope from kissing him or, you know, never been alone with her in one of the most romantic cities in the world.

Steffy: Yeah. I don’t– I don’t see this ending well. We know that my brother has made changes in his life, wonderful changes, but… liam doesn’t buy it. He doesn’t trust him and now he doesn’t trust hope. And he’s always been able to blame thomas and he always sees hope as this innocent woman. And now I think he finally realizes that hope’s the issue and I’m sure he can’t get that image of hope and thomas kissing out of his head.

Wyatt: Do you think you could possibly forgive hope?

Liam: I would have to understand what’s going on with her first. Why did she do this?

Wyatt: Yeah, I mean, she knows you’ve had issues with thomas for a while now. Like why would she do the one thing that would ruin your marriage?

Liam: I mean, she, you know, she told me she loves me. She asked for forgiveness, but she can’t explain why– she can’t explain why she did the thing that she wants my forgiveness for. And that scares me. I mean, how foolish do I have to be? Here I was traveling halfway across the world to show her my love and support. And it turns out she’s– she’s moved on, she’s fallen for somebody else in the eternal city, like, you know.

Wyatt: Yeah, if you think about it that way, it’s pretty egregious. But you’ve been in this situation before, liam. You’ve both made mistakes in the past and you’ve both been able to forgive each other for your sake and for the marriage and for the children.

Liam: Yeah. But… what do I do if it’s just a fact that I can’t trust her anymore? Because wyatt, I’m not– I don’t wanna be that guy that doesn’t have confidence in his own marriage. That’s constantly walking around wondering if his wife is cheating on him. That’s not who I want to be and it’s not who I’m willing to become.

Wyatt: Okay. You sound pretty resolved about this. So what– what are you saying exactly?

Liam: I’m saying what I said to her. I– I still want a divorce.

Thomas: Liam will get over this, okay? It was just a kiss.

Hope: You know he will never see this as just a kiss.

Thomas: Look, he has made plenty of mistakes in the past and you always forgave him.

Hope: No, I know. But this is the ultimate betrayal because it’s you. And I get it. I get it. So I um… asked for forgiveness. I fought for our marriage, and–

Thomas: How did he react?

Hope: Like I said, liam wants a divorce, so.

Thomas: I am so sorry, hope. I never wanted to cause you any more pain or heartache.

Hope: Thomas, don’t do that. Don’t, okay? This is not on you, it’s on me. I kissed you. With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com -you got this buddy.

-During an asthma attack,

Finn: Wait, so are you saying that thomas just took the heat for this? Did you tell him that you knew it was all hope that initiated the kiss?

Steffy: Yeah. Yeah. I– I told thomas it– it wasn’t his fault that liam saw hope lean in to kiss thomas and I was trying my best not to judge him. And honestly, I– I could tell that thomas has changed.

Finn: Well certainly, I mean, if he’s willing to sacrifice himself to protect hope.

Steffy: Oh, yeah. Like, he wants to protect her at all costs. He had some kind of like visceral reaction which shows me that he’s grown. He’s not this like little boy anymore. He’s like a man.

Finn: Or this could be a sign of how deep his feelings are for hope.

Steffy: Yeah, I think it’s apparent that the feelings are mutual.

Wyatt: So nothing’s changed for you? You still want a divorce.

[ Sighs ] Man, I– I’m sorry. I just– well, how did hope take it? I mean, I’m sure she doesn’t want that.

Liam: I mean, no, she was– she was fighting for another chance, at least at first.

Wyatt: Okay. But what about you? Like is this– this really it? Like you want a divorce?

Hope: No, thomas, don’t do that. I– I don’t want you feeling guilty. And yes, in the past, you may have struggled with certain things but this, what– what happened between us, that’s on me.

Thomas: No. Look, you were– you were caught up in the city. You were in rome, one of the most beautiful places and– and the success of our line. And I wanted you to bask in the glory of that and I should have just kept my distance.

Hope: Well, the thing is thomas I, um– I wanted to be close to you. I’ve, um, been fighting this for a while now and I’m not proud of it. I um– I don’t even understand it. And yet I still gave in, knowing the risks. I kissed you. And so, yes, maybe– maybe there is something wrong with me.

Thomas: No, no. Hold on. No, no, there’s nothing wrong with you. There’s never been anything wrong with you. You’re one of the most wonderful, loving, committed people…

Hope: Okay. Well, I– I don’t feel that way now. Because I might have destroyed my marriage. I might have destroyed my family and… for what?

Looking for a bladder leak pad

that keeps you dry? Their marriage work.

Steffy: Yeah, I just, I– I don’t wanna see liam hurt or my brother.

Finn: That’s because you got such a good heart. And you stand up for people and you have such principles. You know, I was thinking today just how grateful I am that I get to come home to you, every day. I missed you when you were away.

Wyatt: Have you thought this whole divorce thing through? Hm. Like, have you really thought it through? Because come on, you’re not the type of guy to rush to this kind of conclusion and throw your whole life away on a whim.

Liam: Of course, I don’t want a divorce, wyatt. I– I didn’t want any of this, but it happened.

Wyatt: Okay. Well, I thought that the love that you and hope shared could overcome anything.

Liam: Anything but this. Anything but thomas and I– and I had been clear about that for years, but she invited him in any way. She pursued him anyway. And whether she’s willing to admit it to me or not, hope has feelings for thomas.

Thomas: Okay, hope. Look, I– I think you’re taking this a little too far. Right? I mean, look, you made one mistake but that doesn’t take away from the years where you have been the most amazing and wonderful wife and mother. Liam, he– he just needs time, right? To– to deal with his initial hurt and anger.

Hope: Oh, yeah, he’s hurt all right. He’s so hurt that he–

Thomas: What?

Hope: He went to see your sister. Yeah, he wants steffy again. That same old song and dance and liam and his divided feelings. But when I’m with you, thomas, and you look at me… you make me feel like I am the only woman in the world. And so that is why… I will always remember the two of us in front of the colosseum.

Thomas: What are you saying?

Hope: Liam wants steffy. And I want the man who only wants me. I want you, thomas.

Audra: Good morning, mr. Newman.

Victor: Audra, good morning.

Audra: Morning.

Victor: Please have a seat.

Audra: Thank you.

Victor: Thank you for coming.

Audra: How can I refuse?

Victor: Well, it was an invitation, not a command, you know.

Audra: Well, when victor newman invites you to breakfast, you show up. Especially when it’s your first day in a new role at newman media.

Victor: I hope I’m not keeping you from more important things.

Audra: How impossible. You’re not just the founder of the company. You’re an inspiration and it’s an honor to have this one on one with you.

Victor: Thank you.

Audra: Um, I’m probably embarrassing myself. I’m– I’m sure you’ve had plenty of yes men and women buttering you up over the years, right?

Victor: There is nothing wrong with flattery, as long as it is genuine, authentic.

Audra: Of course. Well, I– I’m sure you didn’t invite me here to test my ability to praise you. Uh, so this must be about my new job at newman media.

Victor: Mm-hmm. I just want you to know, audra, that newman enterprises is more than just a business to me. It’s family, it’s my lifeblood. Therefore, I don’t like certain lines to be crossed.

Audra: You think a line has been crossed?

Victor: I’ve become aware that you and a certain member of my family have become acquainted. And I asked you to come here to give you a serious warning.

[ Sally sighing ]

Chelsea: Well, thanks for breakfast. This is a nice change of pace from my usual at crimson lights.

Billy: But you’d like a change of surroundings, you know. It’s not as easy to do dinner with you wanting to spend as much time as possible with connor, but now that he’s at sports camp, I’ll get you to myself.

Chelsea: Yeah, and I get to have fancy waffles guilt-free.

Billy: Mm-hmm.

Daniel: Chelsea. Uh, sorry to interrupt.

Billy: Hey.

Daniel: Glad I ran into you. I actually left you a message.

Chelsea: Oh, ah, you know, my phone is off. Is everything okay?

Daniel: No, everything’s great. I just wanted to share the good news about omegasphere.

Chelsea: Well, I– I heard that the numbers from my game are climbing, but slowly.

Daniel: They are building every day. That’s the key. It means that the game is starting to take off. And even better, there’s been a ton of great reviews from the gaming press and bloggers.

Chelsea: Really? I haven’t seen those.

Daniel: We’ll have pr send over the links. The buzz has been good.

Billy: That’s good. That’s great. Congratulations to you both.

Summer: Chelsea. I am glad to see you. You’re actually on my to-do list for today.

Billy: So much for a quiet breakfast. Aren’t you in high demand?

Chelsea: Well, I– I can’t imagine why I’d be on your checklist.

Summer: Well, I wanted to follow up on my brilliant idea from a few months ago for you to come and work with me at marchetti. The timing couldn’t be better.

Daniel: Hold on. Are you trying to poach my star employee? Are you stealing talent from your own brother?

Sally: Ugh. What now?

[ Knock on door ] How many times have I asked you to leave me alone? Please, just go away.

Nick: Is that any way to talk to your boyfriend?

Sally: I am so sorry. I did not know it was you. You got here really fast.

Nick: You thought it was adam?

Sally: Well, he won’t give up.

Nick: What’s he want now?

Sally: I don’t know. But it seems the more I ask him to back off, the more persistent he gets. Even when I was with the people I love,

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nick: Look, I really feel for what he’s going through, losing the baby and then having to make that choice. It’s– it’s impossible. And then, he’s battling my dad. I just– I was really hoping he would listen to me when I told him to give you some space.

Sally: Look, you don’t have to fix my problems, nick.

Nick: Right now, I do because you need to focus on healing. Not that it matters. I mean, adam just turned it into an argument and he didn’t hold back.

Sally: I’m sorry.

Nick: I’m not because he brought up something that you and I need to deal with.

Sally: Oh, great. So you’re taking relationship advice from adam now.

Nick: In this case, I am. Because you said the same thing the other day when you broke down. When you were at the hospital, I wasn’t there and you needed me.

Sally: Look, I was raw and upset. It was not meant to be an accusation.

Nick: But it was honest.

Sally: Look, I– I don’t blame you, okay? Uh, you had to be there for faith. You and sharon had to save your daughter and I– I get that more than ever now. And you had no idea that my daughter’s life was in danger too.

Nick: Well, that sounds logical and rational, but the fact is I wasn’t there when you needed me most.

Sally: Look, I– I really don’t want you to beat yourself up over it, okay? And I hate that adam made you feel bad about it, which is another reason why I want him out of my life. You know, he twists everything for his benefit. It’s just hurtful and manipulative and I hate it. So, um, you know, he needs to understand that if he cannot respect my wishes, then there is no more room for him in my life.

Audra: I hope I didn’t do anything to upset you, sir. Look, I’m not sure what you’ve heard, but I can assure you that whatever it is, I– I can explain.

Victor: You’re not the reason for my warning. My son adam is. Do you know him?

Audra: Uh, I met him recently at the athletic club lounge. Um, it was brief and it was before I– I was asked to fill in for nate.

Victor: Who approached whom?

Audra: I initiated the conversation.

Victor: Or so you thought.

Audra: Do you believe adam orchestrated our meeting?

Victor: I know my son can be quite charming.

Audra: Hm. Well, I promise you, I spilled no company secrets. Look, I am aware that adam is in charge of mccall. So I– I made sure I didn’t give away anything about newman media.

Victor: Good. Audra, I asked you here to forewarn you. My son, adam, is aiming to take over newman media. I don’t know when he will strike, but he will strike. Are you ready for the battle?

Summer: No, I don’t see it as poaching. I see it as sharing the creative wealth. I mean, your video game has launched, right? I figured you’d be looking for a new challenge.

Daniel: Right, but hiring chelsea away seems a little out of the blue like something you might have discussed with your brother first.

Chelsea: Well, no offense to either one of you, but I’m perfectly capable of fielding my own job offers.

Daniel: Of course, you are. I am just pointing out that you are valued at omegasphere.

Chelsea: Well, I appreciate that. And summer, I remember when you offered me this role previously and I turned you down.

Summer: I know, but it’s been a little while now and marchetti could really use your talents now more than ever.

Chelsea: Why is that?

Summer: There have been some changes and it’s presented a really unique opportunity. You and I would actually be running marchetti together.

Billy: Uh, isn’t that job taken by your husband?

Summer: Oh, you haven’t heard? Kyle’s leaving and I’m taking over as ceo, which is why I would love for you, chelsea, to take my position as creative director.

Billy: I’m sorry, kyle’s leaving?

Daniel: Can I speak with you for a minute, privately?

Summer: Chelsea, please consider my offer. I think it could be really great.

Chelsea: I will. Thank you.

Daniel: Excuse us.

Billy: Uh, I apologize. I’m gonna have to head back to the office and I’m gonna need a large coffee to go. So, why don’t I take you home?

Chelsea: Sounds great.

Daniel: Hey. What was that all about? What’s going on with you?

Summer: Kyle and I have separated. For people who are a little intense about hydration. With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com

Billy: First diane, now kyle. I don’t think it’s a good thing to have your co-ce. Being left in the dark like that, jack. No, I– I– yes, I understand, it’s a unique situation and I feel for them both, but the courtesy of– of a heads up would be great. Thank you very much. That’s all I’m asking. Bye, talk to you soon.

Chelsea: So?

Billy: So, I now know why kyle is no longer at marchetti and why I didn’t find out about it until now. I guess it happened very quickly. Summer and kyle have separated and summer moved out.

Chelsea: Oh, no, I’m sorry to hear that. Makes sense why summer was so intense earlier though.

Billy: Yeah. And it also makes sense why daniel and summer both value your talent.

Chelsea: I don’t know. I mean, should I even consider this marchetti offer? Summer seems almost desperate.

Billy: I mean, if you’re asking me, I think it’s a hell of an opportunity.

Chelsea: But I thought you felt omegasphere was a good idea?

Billy: It is. I’m just seeing the perks, you know. Seeing you in and around the office would be fantastic. I wouldn’t have to squeeze in time between dinner and a movie.

Chelsea: So, you have purely selfish motives? You just want to work together again.

Billy: It wouldn’t be the same as the podcast. You know, we wouldn’t be working directly with each other, but if I get to see you in and around the water cooler, I’m gonna see that as a bonus. What do you say?

Daniel: Are you sure that you and kyle can’t work through this? Separation just seems so extreme.

Summer: Nothing is final. I– I got a room upstairs, but it’s not gonna be for long.

Daniel: Can I ask you why you seem so optimistic?

Summer: Kyle just needs some time. I mean, we’ve been through rough patches like this in the past and we always get back together. I mean, it’s what we do.

Daniel: Okay. I– I hope so. I just want you to be realistic too.

Summer: Wait, I’m sorry. Is this you being supportive right now?

Daniel: I am feeling like a protective older brother. You know, as someone who lived through a separation recently. When time apart, when it becomes permanent, that gut punch can hurt if it comes out of left field.

Summer: Look, I’m clinging to hope right now and you’re telling me to prepare for the worst.

Daniel: No, I just don’t want to see you hurt anymore. We did inherit a fierce ability to deny reality from our mother. Look where she is now.

Nick: Victoria forced me to take a leave of absence, allegedly to use the personal time to deal with the recent turmoil.

Sally: I’m part of that turmoil, aren’t I?

Nick: Yeah, but you’re worth it. No, but I am here to support you.

Sally: And sharon and faith. Look, maybe she’s right. You know, you always feel the need to be there for everyone else, but you have been through a lot too.

Nick: Honestly, if I thought I needed some time off, I would take it. But this is mandatory and I just don’t buy that it is for my own good.

Sally: You think there’s another motive?

Nick: I think vic and my replacement have other goals in mind.

Sally: Let me guess who replaced you… nate hastings.

Nick: You got it. And I have a feeling if it’s up to nate, I will not have a job to come back to.

Audra: Are you sure adam is trying to make a move? You know, maybe he’s bluffing, trying to goad victoria? Look, I know they don’t get along.

Victor: I know my son and he doesn’t make idle threats. He has declared war.

Audra: Then, he’ll get a war. Newman media will be safe under my watch. I have a question for you. You own mccall unlimited, don’t you? The same company that adam is using to go against newman media. Why are you playing both sides here?

[ Victor chuckling ]

Victor: Don’t you concern yourself with what angle I’m playing. You just pay attention to what adam is up to. I do not want him to take over newman media. (Wheezing)

Sally: So, how are you going to keep your sister and nate from pushing you out of your job?

Nick: I’m not gonna sweat it. I didn’t want this time off, but I’m gonna use it to take care of the people I care about. So don’t worry about me. No matter how things shake out at newman, I’m gonna be just fine.

Sally: God, I admire your calm. If I were you, I could not sit still. Of course, I am already climbing the walls because everything in this room reminds me of everything that happened.

Nick: Well, why don’t you try and focus on something else other than your grief? You know, something that’s rewarding for you. How are things going at chancellor winters?

Sally: No clue. Chloe has been calling me and I have been putting her off.

Nick: What’s she want?

Sally: I don’t know, I think just to check in as a friend. But she probably also needs help with work. I know she’s been doing everything on her own since the pregnancy complications.

Nick: I think you should call her. You know, some work or even just a friendly visit. It might be exactly what you need right now.

Chelsea: I’m not sure about such a big change. Not just going back to fashion, but this job summer is offering, it’s gonna be a lot of pressure and very public.

Billy: Yes, that’s all true. And if you’re not ready for it, that’s– that’s okay. But what do you– what do you think about the gaming job then?

Chelsea: It’s been rewarding being able to help people.

Billy: Okay. Well, that’s a good thing. But, you know, this– this job that summer is offering, it’s a hell of an opportunity, right? I mean, especially if you want to stay in the fashion world. Just think about it before you say no. That’s it.

Chloe: Chels.

Chelsea: Hi.

Chloe: Hi. I’ve missed you so much. I feel like we’ve been caught up in different orbits lately.

Billy: Perfect timing. I’m gonna bounce back to the office, okay? I’ll let you two catch up.

Chelsea: Bye.

Billy: Talk to you soon. Hi. Bye. Good to see you.

Chloe: Bye. Well, tell me all things like what’s going on with you two?

Chelsea: I will, but first I’m so glad you’re here. I actually really need your opinion on something. So, summer offered me a job at marchetti. Her job.

Chloe: Wow. She’s leaving?

Chelsea: Kyle is. And she’s taking over as ceo.

Chloe: Which leaves creative director open. That’s– that’s huge.

Chelsea: I know. But it’s probably too much for me, right? I mean, what do you think?

Chloe: Oh, uh, yeah, I– I don’t think I’m well equipped to give any advice.

Chelsea: Well, why not? We worked together. You know what the job would entail. Who better?

Chloe: I don’t know, maybe a better friend.

Chelsea: What are you talking about?

Chloe: How could I weigh in on such huge advice when I didn’t do more for you when you needed me most?

Audra: Thank you. I used to wait to run my dishwasher

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

What can you do

with sensitive skin?

Chelsea: It sounds like you’re blaming yourself for my depression and what I went through. And I’ve told you, you are not responsible for either one of those things.

Chloe: Yeah, but why did I let you push me away? Because if I had been there more often, maybe I would have seen the warning signs.

Chelsea: Chloe, it’s my job to notice when I’m feeling a certain way and I need to reach out to people. Something I didn’t do last time when things got so dark. I shut you out. You have been nothing but a support system for me, always. You fought for me, for us, for our partnership and I pushed you away. I didn’t recognize it at the time, so it’s my job to be more vigilant and not push away the people that love me and care about me, especially somebody like you who is the most loyal friend around.

Chloe: Well, I just want you to know, you can lean on me, always.

Chelsea: Well, I need to lean on you right now because I need to go through the pros and cons of this job offer, please.

Chloe: Okay. Well, just know that, um, you know, I’m here for all things, always.

[ Both chuckling ]

Nick: Hey, dad.

Victor: Hey, son. Thank you for coming. Please have a seat.

Nick: Why not? I’ve got nothing but time on my hands right now since I have no office to go to.

Victor: Well, I want you to know that I had nothing to do with your forced sabbatical. In fact, your mother and I were against it.

Nick: Thanks. I appreciate all the help lately.

Victor: That’s very nice to hear. Remember that next time you get pissed off at me. I do help my family, you know.

Nick: I’ll try. It seems like faith’s doing, uh, she’s doing well. Uh, she’s happy to be back at the dorm with all her friends. It is exactly the distraction we were hoping. Sharon and I check in with her every day.

Victor: You know that I’m playing chess with her at least once a week.

Nick: I know. Thank you for doing that. She needs all the support we can give her right now.

Victor: Yup.

Nick: Now, if I were you, I’d be focusing more on the chess match that victoria seems to be playing. I was informed that all of my staff was recently reassigned.

Victor: You don’t think I’m keeping an eye on things?

Nick: Is that what this meeting’s about? You want to try and figure out how to deal with victoria and nate?

Victor: No. This meeting, I’m gonna ask you to help adam.

Summer: Beautiful flowers. Someone must really be trying to impress you.

Audra: Oh, it’s to congratulate me on my new job. Uh, today is my first day as acting ceo of newman media.

Summer: Wow. And they got you jewelry too. I– I recognize the gift box. It’s the same jeweler that I go to. You must have already impressed my aunt.

Audra: Oh, I’m sure it’s just a fountain pen or a desk clock or something.

Summer: Well, good luck and I’ll see you around.

Audra: Are you staying here?

Summer: It’s temporary. Like your new position.

Audra: Welcome to the club, neighbor.

Adam: Well, you were right about being able to run into all the movers and shakers of genoa city here.

Audra: I’ve been warned about you.

Adam: And I would bet you have never listened to a warning in your life. Are you tired of clean clothes that just don’t smell clean?

[ Sally exhaling ]

Sally: Wow. That was fast.

Chloe: I got your text and I’m working on being a better friend.

Sally: It’s absolutely not something you need improvement on. I’m the one that hasn’t been pulling my weight at chancellor-winters.

Chloe: Taking care of yourself is not slacking off. It’s doctor’s orders, and mine. How are you doing?

Sally: I’m not gonna lie. It has not been easy.

Chloe: Yeah, I mean, losing a child is the hardest thing in the world.

Sally: I’m not really sure I’m ready to go back to work.

Chloe: No, of course not. Of course not. And I– I hope you don’t feel like you need to on my account because I have everything covered.

Sally: No. Uh, nick thinks that it might be a good distraction for me.

Chloe: And what do you think?

Sally: I’m having a hard time really thinking about anything right now.

Chloe: Yeah. Well, it looks like you’ve been cooped up here for a bit.

Sally: What gave it away? No, I– look, at least walking is getting easier. I have been doing laps around the block and slow, steady, boring. Yeah, maybe a distraction would be good for me.

Chloe: Okay. Well, um, I got approvals on all of the preliminary sketches and all of the paint colors have been chosen. Who knew there were so many whites to choose from? Uh, they loved all of your choices for the sofas and the chairs and we’re gonna start renovations soon in the common areas. We think that doing it in stages is best so they can continue to use the workspace.

Sally: Wow, you’ve been doing a lot.

Chloe: Too overwhelming?

Sally: No, no, really. And I– I appreciate you taking over everything. I– I’m just having trouble thinking about anything more than what I want for lunch.

Chloe: Yeah. Okay. So, um, let’s just start slow.

Sally: Okay.

Chloe: Okay? And get the creative juices flowing.

Nick: Dad, I am the last person adam wants to hear from. And frankly, I’m in no mood to reach out to him right now.

Victor: Son, you didn’t let me finish.

Nick: I don’t need to hear anymore. Look, I feel terrible about what adam and sally have gone through. It’s awful, but I’ve tried to reach out to him and he shut that down pretty quickly because he refuses to honor sally’s wishes. And that is to give her some space and it’s making her even more upset.

Victor: But you understand that they went through a traumatic situation. I mean, all that adam wants to do is, you know, share some of the grief with her. Can’t you ask her to be more open to that?

Nick: Sally is not the problem.

Victor: I know you think adam is the problem and I don’t disagree with you. However, you must know by now that I will never give up hope. I think that he is capable of changing.

Nick: Well, adam is always your blind spot.

Victor: Yeah. There’s truth to that, son. I hope you’ll never be in a situation like that. It tears me apart, you know. He’s my son as well. And right now, he needs someone to support him. The stillbirth has put him on a very dangerous trajectory and I am very concerned about it. So, what I’m asking you, if you can find it in your heart to give him one more chance?

Nick: Okay, um, let’s say I was willing. What exactly do you want from me?

[ Adam sighing ]

Audra: Care if I join you?

Adam: Hm? Don’t you have a thank you call to make? I mean, that was quite a extravagant floral arrangement gift I saw you with. Is that a fan or someone more intimate? Or maybe you had them sent to yourself?

Audra: And uh, why would I do that?

Adam: Make a statement. “I’m someone to be admired.”

Audra: I am, but I– I don’t need to send myself gifts to prove that.

Adam: No, I guess not. And I guess you’re not gonna tell me who the flowers were from.

Audra: Why ruin the mystery?

Adam: Mm.

Audra: What time is she coming?

Adam: Before noon. So, who warned you about me?

Audra: Take a guess?

Adam: Oh, that’s, um, that’s a long list of options there.

Audra: So everyone knows that you just have your sights set on newman media?

Adam: Well, I haven’t made that big of a secret of it, but I’m curious where your loyalties lie.

Audra: Well, I’m the ceo of newman media, so what do you think?

Adam: Well, you’re the interim ceo, ’til victoria gives my brother his job back, but…

Audra: Yes, the temporary nature of my job has been made very clear to me.

Adam: And I would bet that you hate that.

Audra: No, I’m actually looking forward to proving myself.

Adam: Oh, I bet you are. But word on the street is you’re no stranger to betraying your employer. So, what’s the chance of you doing that again?

[ Knocking on door ]

Summer: Who is it?

Daniel: It’s your brother.

Summer: Hey, I thought you were going to work. What’s up? Did you hear from mom?

Daniel: No, not exactly. Um… I got something to tell you and I don’t think you’re gonna like it.

Summer: What did you do?

Daniel: I texted mom and I told her about your separation from kyle.

Summer: Why did you do that?

Daniel: Because it’s a big deal and she’d want to know.

Summer: Daniel, that wasn’t your information to share.

Daniel: Mom is responsible for your separation. It’s time she took responsibility.

Summer: We have no idea how she’s gonna react to that information.

Daniel: You’re right. Maybe it’ll bring her back. I mean, if she cares about us as much as she says she does, your relationship shouldn’t become another casualty of her bad choices.

Victor: What I’m asking is for you to join forces with adam at mccall.

Nick: Dad, come on. You already asked me this before and I said no. What makes you think I’d change my mind?

Victor: Son, you yourself said you have plenty of time now that you’re forced into this sabbatical. Why not put it to good use?

Nick: But you honestly think I would trade newman enterprises for mccall with adam?

Victor: Let me tell you something. Adam needs you more than victoria does. I’m begging you. I’m worried about my son. I don’t know if anyone can help him right now. I think if you were willing to support him, there’s a chance that he will straighten out.

Sally: What about something like this? A workspace that is both ergonomic and sleek. And it easily converts from seated to a standing desk. And if we position them like this, then they have this great view and they do not have to stare at each other. It’s a win-win.

Chloe: I love it.

Sally: The sketch?

Chloe: Yes, but mostly just seeing you smile again. Hey, no, stop, I… okay, I– I know where your mind just went. You’re feeling guilty for forgetting for a second. You are not betraying your daughter by being happy, okay? Your little girl would want her mama to keep smiling.

Sally: Thank you. Ava would have loved her aunt chloe.

Chloe: Oh, honey, that’s a beautiful name. I’m so sorry. My timing really sucks, I need to go. I have to meet kevin. I…

Sally: Of course, go. Really.

Chloe: Ah, you know, um, I think, you know, uh, we should just get together with lily and devon. Set up a meeting.

Sally: I would like to join.

Chloe: Are you sure?

Sally: Yes. Yeah. I’m– I’m ready to get out into the world. I– I don’t need to keep hiding in here, piling up dirty dishes.

Chloe: Okay. Um, you know, listen, I– I can just set a time and then, you know, if you want to cancel, it’s okay.

Sally: Thank you.

Chloe: I didn’t do anything.

Sally: You showed up. And you encouraged me to start small and you said things that other people are afraid to say.

Chloe: Come here.

[ Chloe sighing ] Okay. Bye, sweetie.

[ Sally sighing ]

Adam: I know that I could apologize every day for the rest of my life and it would never be enough to ease your pain because I know there’s nothing that will ease mine. We’re the only two people in the world who know what it is to lose ava. She will live on in our hearts as the fierce, brilliant, adventurous girl we knew her to be. I can only hope that her memory will help us find a way through this. I don’t want the darkness to win. I want to believe that there can be healing. Well, I don’t know, maybe it’s ava’s spirit that’s making me write this letter. She knows that we’ve suffered her loss together, but just as creating her bound us here on earth, losing her binds us for eternity. But I wanna be in your life, in the here and now to support you through this. I’ll be waiting downstairs until noon if you want to talk. Please don’t let this be goodbye. Adam.

Audra: Thank you. Listen, I’m happy in whatever role your sister deems best for me. And I’m ready to take you down in a corporate battle if that’s what you’re determined you’ll have.

Adam: Good to know.

Audra: Hm. Well, it’s past noon. I think you’ve been stood up by whoever you’re waiting for.

Adam: You know, you have made a big mistake underestimating me. And I hope you get ready for the biggest battle of your life.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Door opens ] Hi. Hi. Were you all as surprised as I was to get a text from molly? She’s not typically prone to spontaneity. I know. Nails and dancing on a weeknight. Very un-molly like. But hopefully now this means she’s out of her funk. Uh, or it could be her latest coping mechanism. Or that. I mean, you can only distract yourself with work for so long. Whatever it is, she’s entitled to have some fun. Whatever her mood, we’re gonna support her, right? Right. Yeah. Yeah, right. Yep. Thank you. Yay! We are all here. Look out — the davis girls are on the loose. I think I should be heading home before your rush. Whoa, wait. Are you sure? It’s going to be a good night, pop. Mnh-mnh. I’m sure. Son… am I gonna see you at home tonight? Uh, maybe. You know, things could get crazy busy here…

[ Sighs ] …So probably just crash in the back. Yeah. What? You and portia are never gonna fix things if you refuse to be in the same room. Hey. Hey, T. Are you okay? Boy, you look like you just lost your best friend. What if I have? Did you give anybody the password? Maxie: Of course not. Okay. What about that assistant that just quit? Be honest — I didn’t give my password to anyone, lucy. Okay, how about this? Maybe you wrote it down somewhere accidentally and left it around, left it out.

[ Sarcastically ] Oh, sure. Where anyone could come and find it. How careless do you think I am? You know, I don’t really think you want me to answer that right at this point. Are you for real? I’m just saying that you have been a teeny, tiny bit distracted lately. Yeah, yeah, I’m sure. Because I’ve been handling the extra workload with zero help from you. Oh. What exactly is this proposition you speak of? As entertaining as you find lucy coe, a man of your standing… “my standing”? …Needs more to occupy him. I’m prepared to offer you a challenge, if you’re up for it. I have been busting my behind to get the deceptor off the ground. Yeah, sure you have. Until martin calls, and then off you go, leaving me holding the bag. Oh, excuse me. Well, sue me for having a personal life. You know what? I think it would do you very good to get one. That’d be great. And then nobody would work here. I give everything to deception. I am always here. I give everything. Everything. I used to think so, but lately, not so much. Wow, that is low. You have gone low. You know what? You started it! I did not start it! That’s enough! It was me.

What’s going on? I can’t stay long. Molly’s out with her mom and sisters. She says she’s gonna end up here, so… so that means you have to go? I just don’t want to be in the way. Since when have you been in molly’s way? Did something happen?

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry, man. That’s rough. Look, I know you and molly, and you’ll figure it out. This time, I’m not so sure. Okay. Alright. Come on. Lay it on us. Lay it on us. Remember how I-I told you that molly and i were trying to have a baby? Yeah. Yeah. That’s not something you easily forget. I’m sorry I hadn’t checked in since I got back from greenland. Don’t worry about it. I’ve been busy, too. And honestly, I haven’t really talked to anyone about it much because we barely had the chance to start trying when we found out that… that molly can’t get pregnant. What do we think, gals? Super cute. Ooh, that looks nice. Real good. Help. Which one? Uhhhh, this. It goes with your dress. Really? Yeah, and I’ll take that one. Thank you. Oh, I see how it is. Uh-huh. So, moll… so, mom. Yeah. What are we celebrating? What do you mean? Uh, you’re…so festive, and the champagne and the nails and the dancing…

[ Inhales deeply ] Do you have any news? If you’re asking about the doctor’s appointment, don’T. You snuck onto my computer after I left? What the hell, brook lynn? Sorry. I didn’t realize it was such a big deal. Such — in what universe is this not a big deal? I was trying to prove myself, okay? Ever since I came back to work here, everything’s been so busy, and the deceptor’s blowing up, and I just… I wanted to prove myself as an asset to this company. So you were, what, trying to learn about the deceptor? I-I wanted to familiarize myself with the product so that I could create a-a social media campaign, you know, to solidify the deceptor as the must-have item of the summer. Okay, then why all the secrecy? It wasn’t a secret, per se. I mean, maxie was swamped when she was called away from her desk, and I was just trying to be proactive, so I used her computer to download the files. Files on a shared drive that you had absolutely no access to! I-I didn’t put two and two together that the information was under lock and key. Do you know the two words “trade secret”? Trade secrets. That’s what it is. Do you know what would happen if our competitors got a hold of this information? We could kiss our cash cow bye-bye. Ms. Quartermaine, with all due respect, whatever your opinion may be, I am in love with one ms. Lucy coe. So, as regards to your other forward offer, I’m just gonna have to say thanks, but no thanks.

[ Laughs ] Somebody thinks very highly of himself. I’m offering you a business challenge, not a romantic one. Oh. Elq is a dumpster fire, and there’s nobody to put it out. With valentin gallivanting off god knows where, and my son…mia — why would you care? I mean, I was given to understand that you’d completely divested yourself of any interest in the company, so… I have no interest in taking a leadership position. But it is my family’s company, and the situation is precarious at best. Disastrous at worst. So, with the ceo and second-in-command out of commission, it occurs to me that the next obvious choice to run elq… is you. Rough day? Yeah. I could use a new top. Oh, um, I’ll relocate. No, no, no, no. Y-you’re good. Uh, why am I not surprised to find you eating in here?

[ Chuckles ] Well, nothing worse than break room small talk. Well, I think that book would scare everyone away. Worms and food — it’s quite the mix. You’re kidding. This book’s on a lot of hot summer reading lists. Okay, I’ll take your word for it. Yeah? Um, so…how’s it going, head nurse? It’s going. Epiphany made it seem so easy.

[ Chuckles ] So will you. You think? I know. So, about last night, um… yeah. Uh… look, uh, thank you for, um, staying and — and helping with violet. I love that little girl. You know I’d do anything for her. Including going along with her pretend date. Look, I’m so sorry about that.

[ Laughs ] Don’t be. However, your daughter knows an awful lot about romance. Yeah, that’s — that’s not unsettling at all. She was very sweet with me. It’s been a minute since someone’s given me flowers. Uh…as promised, though, I-I did — I-I talked to violet, and — and she understands she can’t be playing matchmaker like that, so, uh, you can rest easy. There’ll be no more… romantic evenings, uh, for us in the future.

I don’t want to talk about all that right now. I want to talk about drew. I heard he reported to prison. Yeah, speaking of fun… well, sorry, that was a terrible segue, but I’ve been thinking about scout. How is she doing? Not good. I mean, she’s taking it really bad. Well, how could she not? Maybe I could take her to the movies this weekend. Some aunt molly time. Um, you know, that’s really sweet of you, moll, but you have so much going on. Maybe another time. Yeah, y-you’ve got a lot on your plate. More than most. And that’s when I usually neglect my personal life. And I’m not doing that anymore. I want to focus on the things that matter again. Marshall: Tj, I am so sorry. Yeah, me, too, man. I can’t imagine how hard it is for both of you. It’s clearly worse for molly. She feels like her body has betrayed her. And I get that. Or I’m — I’m — I’m really, really trying. But it’s, like, now? When we need to lean on each other the most? She keeps shutting you out. It scares the hell out of me, uncle. Molly and i cannot go on like this. The last thing we need, do you understand, is any of our numerous rivals — if they were to duplicate our design and poach our sales, do you get how serious this is? This is a horrible offense! And I-I realize that now. Okay, I think we just need to all calm down for a minute. All calm down? I am not gonna calm down! Yes. Calm down, lucy. What? Ugh.

[ Exhales deeply ] Brook lynn was just trying to do her job, okay? She started right before we launched the deceptor, and what a whirlwind, right? I mean, it was so successful that I’m sure none of us took the time to talk to her about how proprietary it was. I certainly didn’T. Okay, fine. Neither did I. But this is still a great, big problem. Do you understand? Look, I’m really, really sorry. If I knew what we were dealing with, I obviously would have asked for permission. I cannot stress enough the value of this product. That is why, remember, our lawyers said, “do not share this. Just keep this between the executives.” Only us. We have access. And the information needs to stay in the office. Copy that. Will not happen again.

[ Sighs ] Yay! Okay, hand it over. Hand what over? The files. Hand them over. Where are they?Um, they’re on a flash drive, and I took them home.

[ Laughs ] You took ’em home. She took ’em home. Go get them now! Right now. Oh, my gosh. She took them home. I’m gonna go get gummies because I need my gummies. I want gummies. Well, I am flattered, but I think you’re forgetting I’m only an attorney. Don’t limit yourself. Valentin says in his absence, you have his power of attorney. That makes you his mouthpiece. I suppose that’s true. And therefore, you are the perfect person to fill in for him, to ensure the company’s stability until he returns, or, god willing, my son snaps out of his delusion. Think of it as protecting your client’s interests. When you put it like that… did I make you an offer you can’t refuse? Alright. I accept. Oh, wonderful. Welcome to the board. Thank you. And now for the first order of business. Already? I have something I want you to do for me. I don’t know, how can I trust a guy who doesn’t even put child locks on his phone?

[ Laughs ] Yeah, well, violet said she got the message, but, um… you know my daughter. Strong-willed? To put it mildly. I-I can’t promise that she won’t try to do the same thing again. May not be the worst thing. Yeah. Well, yeah, we’ve been totally negligent about getting us all together. Jake and aiden have kind of been a little lost since cameron moved out. It would be good for them to spend some time with their cousin. Right. Yeah. No, violet would — she would love that. So let’s plan a family night, you know, for the kids. Mm-hmm. For the kids, yeah, and maybe if violet’s distracted enough, she’ll let up on her campaign to get us back together. ‘Cause that’s what we want. Right?

I don’t know about you,but… what I want is a little more complicated. Okay, I think we should probably talk about what happened last night. Hi! If it isn’t my favorite head nurse and infectious disease specialist. Hi. Hey. Chief, hey. Um, well, I, uh… have a patient to see. That’s what they all say.

[ Chuckles ] Right? Uh, then I have to meet violet at the metro court for a tea party. Well, have fun.

[ Chuckles ] Thanks. And, uh, we’ll plan that family get-together real soon. Okay. Sounds good. Bye.

[ Door closes ] I am so sorry. For what? I obviously interrupted something. Oh, no. I-it was no big deal. I know you, elizabeth, for way longer than either of us care to admit. Do you want to talk about it? Finn and I had a date. Thank you. How long are we going to ignore that there is something blatantly wrong with molly? I haven’t decided yet. Bottling things up is never healthy. What are you two whispering about? You’re giving me a complex. Why did you want to go out tonight? Because it’s ladies night at the savoy, and I thought it’d be fun. Yeah, except that is never your idea of fun. You’re the one who’s always telling me to loosen up. Yeah, but you don’t listen. Well, I’m listening now. Why now? Kristina… does it matter? No, it doesn’T. I disagree. Look, under normal circumstances, I would be all for this. Champagne, nails, dancing — yes, please. But you are obviously avoiding something, and I think we all know what that something is. Like you’ve never avoided the realities of your life? More times than I can count, but it’s never worked out the way that I wanted it to. In fact, it always makes things worse. So, molls, we are your family. We care about you. Let us in. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe it’s not that molly is shutting you out. She might just need time to process. And I get that. That’s a big blow — being told your future isn’t going to look the way you thought it would. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful. And incredible. And fulfilling. See, I told molly that. That we can still start a family, that we have options. She just might not be ready to hear that right now. But she will be. I think the hardest part is that she is not acting like herself. In what way? She passed off one of her big cases to a colleague, and then this morning, she decided she didn’t want to go to work, so she called out. Oh, t, people do that. People do. Not molly.You’re both grieving, son. You’re both grieving. And grief could do a number on us all. Good thing, though, it’s fleeting. You know that old saying, uh, “time heals all wounds”? Well, it’s true. I would never tell molly how to deal with her grief or when I think she should be done with it, but I’m worried that it’s more than that, and ultimately, it’s gonna tear us apart. I mean, really, who does that? Who really does that? A professional person taking home confidential files to their house. Wait a minute. Who really hired brook lynn back? Who did that? You did. No, I didn’T. I did not. You know what? I know I didn’T. Look, lucy, the important thing is we know who downloaded the files. It was brook lynn, and she is really sorry. And the files are being retrieved as we speak, so the crisis has been averted.

[ Exhales deeply ] Now, if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go home and relieve my mom and mac. Mom, you’re supposed to be with james. Hi. What’s — what’s wrong? I am stepping in for valentin. Established. Okay, well, normally, he doesn’t answer to you. Which begs the question, why would I?

[ Sighs ] What part of “my family’s company” is tripping you up? No, I understand the concept. Do you also understand that the quartermaine annual G.H. Fundraiser is next week? The picnic? That’s the one. And if you’re gonna be running the company, it would behoove us to bolster our professional relationship. And all of that by way of saying I would love it if you would attend as my honored guest. That’s the favor? Yes. Well, I am flattered. Does that mean you’ll come? Well, I have to check my calendar, of course. Well, clear your schedule, ’cause it’s the social event of the year, and it’s an opportunity for us to get to know each other better, and you can bring your fl– lucy. If you haven’t flamed out by then. Well, if that’s the case, then I would be delighted to attend your little soiree. Pleasure doing business with you. I have been looking all over for you. Why? We have a problem.

Everything’s fine. Mac is watching james. You couldn’t have texted me that before showing up here, so I didn’t have a heart attack? Oh, honey, I’m so sorry. I guess I wasn’t thinking. I just came by to talk to lucy about something. Oh, it must be pretty important. What’s going on? Well… well, um [Stammers] I-I need a gift. Um, um, I-I’m really looking to get a gift for martin. And this was a good reason to abandon your grandson? You’re acting like I left james at the nearest fire station. He’s with his grandfather, and it’s a very special gift. So special. It is so special. In fact, it’s — it’s a gift of a personal, uh, nature. Um…erotic in nature. Oh, wow. Okay. Yes. And you know what? If you want to stay and help us pick it out… nope. …I have a few samples.Nope, nope, nope. I’m good. I’m good. You two, uh… …have fun. Bye, maxie. Ta-ta. Erotic?! Oh, lucy. Shh, shh! Oh. Okay. That’s the best I could come up with on the fly. Look, I really don’t want my business partners to know I have concerns about martin. He really, truly is acting squirrelly every time I mention the deceptor. You don’t want to alarm them unnecessarily. Exactly. You’re right. And who knows? You know, maybe there’s a perfectly logical… innocent reason for his behavior. Yeah, there could be, but I don’t think that’s the case.

[ Sighs ] Please tell me this isn’t about your father. Deception. You want to discuss that here? Why not? Exhibits a and B. Brook lynn! Hi, cutie.

[ Chuckles ] Is uncle chase with you? Oh, I wish. I’m stuck with this one. Oh, charming. Do you remember me? Of course. Auntie tracy. She came up with that one all on her own. Daddy said I had to ask before giving you a hug. Of course. And I appreciate you asking for permission. Violet was hoping to get a-a proper shirley temple. With an umbrella. With an umbrella, yes. Huh. Well, get on over there, my friend. I’ve seen you rule that bar. Daddy won’t let me pay on his phone after what happened with aunt elizabeth. Brook lynn, why don’t you do the shirley temple honors? I’d be delighted. Thank you. Come on, I bet we could get some extra cherries. What do you think? Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Hi. Hi. How’s ned? Ah, well, he is fully committed to his rock star persona and refusing to acknowledge his family. I’m sorry, tracy. Me, too. So what was that face? Face? What face? The face you made when violet brought up elizabeth. Call me crazy, but I think there’s a story there. So finn and i went along with it because, you know, we didn’t want to hurt violet’s feelings. And he explained to her afterwards that we were never gonna happen. Because you’re over each other? We’re great as friends, you know? And we had a really nice night. We just — we talked and we took care of violet together. Oh, almost sounds like nothing’s changed. Except everything’s changed.

[ Scoffs ] Not really. You and finn were friends first, then you developed feelings for each other. Who’s to say the same thing won’t happen again? Okay, well, there was this one moment — I knew it. But it didn’t mean anything. Probably not to him. Did he say that? Not outright, but it was implied. Oh, and nothing’s ever gotten lost in translation before. I’m just saying, instead of jumping to conclusions, why not ask finn for the truth? I can’T. I understand that we each need our space sometimes — that’s natural. But…this feels…what? Different? She’s pulling away from me — emotionally, physically. And if we don’t face this challenge together, how does our partnership survive? You’re in a tough spot. I’m not gonna pretend it’s otherwise. Infertility can be devastating, and a lot of relationships have separated because of it. But you and molly, you’re not just any relationship. I see you. I see how good you are together, how — how loving and patient and kind… and you need to lean on that patience. Molly will come around, and when she does, you will be there waiting for her. I hope you’re right. Molls, tell us what happened. Only if you want to. I’m guessing this had something to do with the doctor’s appointment that you mentioned earlier? Can you not give me one night off from talking about my fertility issues? Hey!All it’s been is endometriosis and eggs and babies, and I’m sick of it. Okay, well, we don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to. Apparently we do. Look, the last thing in the world I want to do is upset you. So if you really don’t want to talk about it, we’ll drop it. But we — we love you, molly. And in my experience, keeping things in doesn’t help, but we can. My eggs aren’t viable, okay? I can never have a biological child. Oh, molly. Alexis: I’m sorry, honey. Yeah, tj can, but I can’T. Are you satisfied? No, I’m not satisfied. Molly, I’m so sorry. Okay, I just… I need a minute. Molly. Oh. Really?

Just go ahead. Just tell me whatdid — what did you find? A quarterly bank statement. It was shredded, and I pieced it together.

[ Inhales deeply ] And? Every month of the last quarter, martin has been receiving deposits of $50,000. Fi– $50,000? Yes. 50 grand?! Okay. Okay. Okay. Yes. Maybe… could he be receiving that from valentin? Well, it’s not likely, since the deposits come from a bank in pine valley. Pine valley? No, no. Martin doesn’t have a license to practice law in pennsylvania. Well, you know, maybe he does and just never mentioned it. No, because martin only likes to take local cases. And really, valentin is his bread and butter. No, no. Gotta be something else.

[ Exhales deeply ] Something illegal? Based on my experience, under-the-table transactions rarely show up on bank statements. Right, and based on my experience, which is rather extensive

[Chuckles] As you know, big deposits like that every month scream affairs. But no, marty is devoted to me. And wouldn’t that be kind of weird? I mean, h-he’s the one getting payments. No, no, no, no, no. This has got to be something else. So what could it be? Well, how is it? Delicious. Yum. Well, don’t move a muscle, okay?I’ll be right back. Oh, if it isn’t brook lynn quartermaine. Hi, martin. Saw you earlier with my grandmother. You did. Suddenly, she’s expressed an interest in having me help out with elq. Temporarily, anyway. Even invited me to your family’s picnic. Me and lucy. Didn’t realize you and grandmother were so close. We’re not. Definitely more like acquaintances. I got to hand it to her, though. That woman is nothing if not sharp. She’s got a shrewd business sense. Just be careful, okay? Meaning? I love my grandmother, but, um… she can be opportunistic. Just stay sharp around her. Duly noted. Little gossip isn’t usually your thing. Yeah, well, I read something about elizabeth and nikolas trapping a pregnant girl in a tower? Good times. I was surprised to see that elizabeth was involved. It surprised me, too. There it is. Well, in her defense, she was going through a bit of a rough patch. A rough patch your relationship couldn’t withstand. Well, it wasn’t just on her, trust me. Some people just aren’t compatible? We’re still friends.

[ Chuckles ] Although, it’s a concept that violet is having a hard time wrapping her head around. Maybe she misses having a mother figure around. Yeah. Or your oh-so-perceptive daughter can tell you still have feelings for her aunt. What do you mean you can’t? Of course you can. It’s easy. “Finn, how did you feel about our date?” Fake date. Whatever. I have no right to ask him for the truth. Not after I destroyed the trust between us. Finn understands why you had to lie to him about that pregnancy. Oh, let’s not forget about all the months I shut him out while I was trying to figure out what was going on with my parents. And he was understanding about that, too. Understanding and trusting are two different things. I don’t think he will ever open himself up to me like that again. But you don’t know that. So isn’t it time you got out of your own way and found out? Hang in there. Alright. Hey, son. I will see you at home. Come on. Whoa.

[ Laughter ] I’m gonna look for you. Well, t, uh… I wish I had an easy answer for you, but I will say we are here to support you. I know. And believe me, that means everything. Family — it is a bond that cannot be broken. I was just really looking forward to adding to that family. I know, but like you said, you and molly still have options. Except I’m not sure molly wants kids anymore. Okay, so I’m the worst sister ever. No.

[ Sighs ] She just needs some space.

[ Sighs ] I’m sorry for storming off like that. No, I-I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have made you talk about what’s happening. This whole situation is just… awful. It’s — it’s gut-wrenching. It’s impossible to navigate. Yeah. All of the above. Hey, um, you know, we can change the subject if you want. Yes, please. There’s no use in tiptoeing around it now.

[ Chuckles ] You’re welcome? Alright, well, I guess maybe the good thing is, maybe you can actually start making a plan, and, like, look into surrogacy or adoption. I can’t even begin to think about that right now, because if I do, it feels like I’m gonna break. And if you break, we’ll put you back together, okay? Promise? I promise.

Moll, we don’t have to go out if you don’t want to. Or we could go to my house, and we could watch a movie and have ice cream. No, no, no, no, no, no. Tj and I will revisit having a family, but tonight, I need to get out and remind myself of everything that I love. I’m sorry, does that include us? All of us? It definitely includes you, kristina. Well, my nails are dry, so… yes. And what’s that? I’m sorry. I-I think I hear the savoy is calling us, and it is time for the davis girls to cause some trouble. Yeah. Alright. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s go, let’s go. You’re not really gonna cause trouble. Oh, only a little trouble, mom. Yeah, you’ve already caused a lot of trouble. So molly has given up on starting a family altogether? Molly said that she wants to take a break from the planning. Right, well, I guess that makes sense after everything you’ve been through. And I don’t disagree. But it’s this lack of communication. It’s so foreign. I don’t know what I’m supposed to do. I don’t know where her head is at. Okay, but your feelings haven’t changed, right? You still want to try to have a baby, whatever that looks like? Yeah. But what if molly doesn’t? What if she becomes so overwhelmed that she decides having kids isn’t worth it anymore? Two very big what-ifs. That’s all I can think about. Okay, well, then let’s game this out, okay? Alright, worst case scenario — molly doesn’t want to have kids, but you do, and you can’t get on the same page. What does that feel like for you? What does that mean for you and molly as a couple? I would be lying, you know, if I said I hadn’t thought about elizabeth. My take? Sure, why not? Whatever residual feelings you have for elizabeth, you should squash them now. Things got messy once before. You know what they say about history repeating itself. And do you really want to risk violet losing her aunt again? She’s already lost her mother. Hey. Where — wait. Where is the — where’s the shirley temple? I drank it.

[ Chuckles ] That was so fast. It’s like a record. Thank you for taking her, brook lynn. Anytime. Can I borrow you? If you must. Excuse me. I’ll see you later. See you, violet. Are you ready for dinner? And dessert. Dinner first. Fine. Fine. Ooh, can we see aunt elizabeth soon? I’ll tell you what. I’ll — I’ll — I’ll check the calendar, okay? If the issue between you and finn was lack of honesty, the solution is not to make the same mistake again. How can you regain the trust if you’re still keeping things from each other? We’re finally in a good place. As friends. I don’t want to jeopardize that. Even though you want to be more?

[ Cellphone chimes ] Patient. Saved by the bell. For now. I know it seems complicated to you, but from an outsider’s perspective, it could not be more simple. Tell finn how you feel. Are you and martin happy?

[ Exhales deeply ] Yeah, blissfully. Well, then, if he’s not doing anything illegal and he’s not having an affair, is it really worth it for you to turn over this rock? It could cost you your relationship. I don’t know. I don’t know. You know, I don’t — I don’t — I don’t know if I can just ignore it because my intuition is never wrong. And…

[ Sighs ] Whatever martin is involved with, I feel like I got to know. You’re sure? No, but yes. I — listen, do it. Just turn over whatever little pebble, or spin it, or throw the rock in the water. Do something with that rock now. Okay, in that case, then next step is for me to go to pine valley and suss out who is sending those payments.

[ Sighs ]

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Whispers ] It’s him. Why are you whispering? I don’t know. Answer it. No. Okay.

[ Normal voice ] Hey, you. I just had a nice conversation with tracy quartermaine. Huh. That’s weird. “Nice” and “tracy” in the same sentence? Mnh-mnh. She’s invited us to the family picnic. Oh. When is it? Next week. Next week. Well, that is — that’s nice of tracy. I’m — I’m just not sure that I-I can make it back. Where are you going? Something came up. A-a little business trip out of state. What for? What else? Deception. So I-I need that flash drive, stat. Is that really necessary? Uh, let’s see. Lucy knows I have it. She asked for it. So, yeah, I’d say it’s really necessary. And if I don’t bring it, then they’re gonna get suspicious, and where does that leave you?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Two, one. How about you? In here, you’re giving the police a hard time refusing to answer any of their questions. I believe that’s my right. You think Stonewalling is gonna help you? You’re hired gun told a room full of people that you ordered him to kill Stephan. Sorry, Lee. Another epic fail. I can’t believe you did this.

Cooked up some scheme to murder the man that I love, so that I would be available again. You know, you might as well confess you pathetic freak because you and your homicidal henchmen are going down. So it’s true. I heard that you hear under observation. I guess I had to see it for myself. So what happened?

Asked the morons who brought me in. No, I know. I’m asking you because the last time we saw each other, you told me that you were going after Megan. You were gonna take her out of commission. And I thought it went according to plan because then I get a text from you saying mission accomplished. And then the next thing I find out, Megan is hosting a party at the bistro.

And you crashed that party in a big wave and, and you didn’t grab Megan. You tried to kill Stephan Damira because Lee Hin told you to. I mean, the whole thing makes zero sense. Makes perfect sense to me. Okay. Will, if that’s true, you’re in absolutely the right place because you need your head examined by an expert.

Hold on just a minute. I’m coming. Hold on.

Elena, listen, you listen to me. I assume you’re here to see Rachel. Well, she left for camp a week ago. And you never even said goodbye. I know, I know. I, I, I was held captive by my deranged sister, Megan. Yes. Isn’t she in the hospital? Kristen, I told you to wait until I popped. Everything she’s saying is true.

I was held prisoner too. I see. And why would Megan do such a thing? That’s an excellent question, and we need your help to answer it.

Matt, what are doing here? I came to see you. If there was any word on your, please don’t let her become your mother-in-law. No. Demetri’s in with Megan now. She still hasn’t regained consciousness since her surgery, but thank you for making this crisis all about whether or not I’ve accepted his proposal.

Have you accepted his proposal? The subject hasn’t come up. God, would you look around please? Cuz we’re in a bloody hospital here. It’s been two days since Megan was shot. Dimitri doesn’t even know if she’s going to live or die, so just have some respect. The man’s completely falling apart and my heart is breaking for him.

Gny, that is so sad. Yes. Thank you. Finally. No honey, you are sad. I cannot believe you’re falling for this poor little rich boy act.

Oh, thank God you’re awake.

Where am I? You’re in the hospital. You had emergency surgery two days ago. What? Why? What happened? Mother, you were shot, Sharon. Yes. At the engagement party, you don’t remember, do you? Harris Michael showed up. He was armed. He said that Le, in order to kill Stephan, right before he pulled the trigger, Gabby rushed him.

There was a struggle for the gun and, and I got hit. Yeah. Oh, what is this? Why am I handcuffed? If I’m the victim here? Why am I handcuffed?

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

You are insane. If you think I’d hire someone to murder Stephan, right, because you haven’t tried to off him before. How do you know Harris Michaels? I don’t. Well, he said he was acting on your orders. That makes no sense. It makes perfect sense, especially if you brainwashed him the way you did me. And he’s on a cycle hold because the cops think that someone namely you messed with his head.

So you say you don’t know Michael’s, but you do know Dr. Rolf very well. Oh, and messing with people’s heads is his specialty. So you could have gotten that nutcase to help you for the last time. I’m innocent if that’s true. Give us one good reason why Harris Michaels were barged into our party point a gun at Stephan and say that you get the order to kill him.

I don’t know why this is so hard for you to understand. I take my orders from Lee Shin, not you. He wanted Stephan Demara out of the way so he could have a clear path to Gabby Hernandez. Okay? Look, two days ago we had a conversation at the pub, right? You told me you had put a tracking device on Megan’s car, then you got an alert and you went off after her.

Right. But now, now you’re asking me to believe that Lee Shin crossed your path and, and redirected you to another target, because I, I’m not believing that. If it makes you feel any better, Megan Hathaway got hers anyway. Oh God. Okay. God, I know, I know. She took a stray bullet at the bistro, but the point is you still haven’t answered my case.

Yeah, I’m done. I’m done talking. So either you can get lost or go get somebody to cut me loose so I can finish my real mission.

Why am I shackled to the bed? Is this some kind of a sick joke? No. I hate to one tell you this. You’ve been arrested. Arrested. What for

you really? Dunno. Well, if I did, I wouldn’t be asking you. Dimitri, would you please tell me? Tell me what I have been accused of, of kidnapping After you were shot on, Kristen and Uncle EJ told the cops that you were holding them hostage in the basement of the mansion. Well, you must really be joking now. I wish I were.

That is not true, Dimitri.

That is the most absurd thing I have ever heard in my whole life. I’m unclear why you think I would help you with anything. We know that you would be reluctant, not just because of Kristen, but obviously I’m not your favorite person, but I’d need to, but, but we have. We have come to you with all due respect and humility because you are the only person who can provide the kind of help that we need.

Oh, what does that mean? Megan was arrested for kidnapping, Kristen and me. And unless we can tell the police exactly what happened and why they’re gonna let her go, well then why don’t you go to the police and tell them because we don’t remember. Mm. If you are trying to rope me into some demure family hygiene, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We’re not, we’re not. Megan injected us with a drug to raise our memories, and that’s where your expertise comes in. We need you to bring them back and, and frankly, after everything she’s done to you, I, I think you’d leave at the chance to put her away. Even if that means helping me,

what’s this? You are working for Father Christmas. Now. Why do you have a pillow case? It’s a change of clothes, which obviously you don’t need since you’ve already changed. Thank you. That was very thoughtful here in case you need to change again. I mean, you do seem to be living here now, Marty. I am not living here.

I am going to go home and I’m going to sleep. And so even though that was very thoughtful of you, I’m not gonna be needing a change of clothes. Not now. Fine. I’ll take it back.

Could you stop looking at me? So Disapprovingly, I am merely supporting Dimitri whose, whose mother, as I’m sure you know, may not pull through. He’s having a very rough time, obviously. Well, it’s not him. I feel sorry for right now. What’s that supposed to mean? It means to hell with his rough time. I’m worried about you, Gwenie.

Oh my God. Here we go again. Yes. Here we go again. And it will be again and again and again until you see the light. Oh, mm yes. Well, according to you, the light actually is very much the opposite, meaning very cynical and mistrusting. So therefore seeing the dark side of the moon, because in this case there is a dark side to the damn moon.

And my bff, former fellow cynic, pessimist, and misanthrope has suddenly gone all Pollyanna and Schal tearing over a dangerous predator. I can’t listen to this anymore. Corny. Corny. I’m only saying this because I love you. You know I do. And the count of Monty Lango does not. You need to wake up. You have fallen victim to a man who’s upsettingly handsome face and impossibly toned physique has caused you to throw logic out the window so he can suck you in.

Now, normally I am all for sucking, but not in this case, not under these circumstances, not when that conman is trying to lure you further into his web with his crocodile tears of his bullet ridden Mummy, you know what? You couldn’t be more wrong about Dimitri, that man. Is in so much pain. Oh, he hasn’t eaten.

Oh, he hasn’t slept. His pain is very real. Oh really? And that means his feelings for you are real. I know. They are. And whether you like it or not, that man is absolutely beside himself with worry over Megan. Of course he is. He needs that crazy bitch to survive so she can help him with whatever he has planned for you.

So you’re saying that there is absolutely nothing to Aunt Kristen and uncle e J’s claims. Of course not. Whatever they told the police, it’s a complete fabrication. Is it? Because the two of them disappeared rather suddenly. A few weeks ago, they didn’t disappear. Kristen went to New York to find a custody lawyer and Egypt probably just wanted to escape that insufferable girlfriend of his.

And yet they’re claiming that you had them tied up in the wine cellar. Now why, why would they lie about that mother? Because that’s what they do. Why? Who they you mean? Because, because they’re des, because they’re not true Des, like you and I, they’re pnu interlopers and they will do anything, say anything that they can to blacken my name, to drag me down.

What are you thinking? Say it, their story. It just, it makes me think of a couple of things. What things? Well, for one, the night of the party, I saw you heading into the tunnels to get a bottle of champagne, as I recall. Surely that’s not a crime now. No. No, of course not. But then there’s the other time that I came in and found you standing in front of the secret panel and you were holding a tray and it looked to have enough food to feed two people.

And yet there you were all by yourself. Dimitri, do you have any idea how much this hurts me that my own son. Can think that I would do anything so malevolent that I would be so cruel to my own siblings. To what? End

again? Silence. That’s just it. I don’t know. To what end? Oh, I have no theory as to why you would do this.

Because there is none. It defies all logic. So what do EJ and Kristen say that my motives were for kidnapping them and tying them up? They don’t know. Or rather they don’t know anymore because they’re claiming that you injected them with something to make them forget. Demetri, I’m getting the distinct impression that you believe them.

Look at me.

If you turn against me, Demetri, it will break my heart. Is that what you want to do? Of course not. And you.

Where your loyalties lie.

Say it right now. Tell me that you believe me. That you trust me. Tell me. That you will never betray me.

So Megan wiped out your memories for the most part. We do know that she had us locked up in the tunnels and that she drugged us. She may be our sister, but I can say without hesitation that she needs to be behind bars. Remember how badly John suffered when he thought that you had died? Well, Megan can inflict that pain all over again on your friends, on your family, on everyone in Salem, for all we know.

But the problem is we don’t know. We don’t remember. We have no idea what Megan’s plans are or more important who is in a crosshairs. And for the question, Lee, Why would Harris say you ordered him to kill Stephan? If that’s not true,

I just wanna make certain none of this will be traced back to us. Stop worried. Lee, commander Michaels is firmly back on my team, so he’ll take Stephan out at the party tonight and then you’ll be free to move on with Gabby and we’ll both get what we want. You two are so quick to blame me. You’re completely overlooking the person who’s actually guilty.

And who was that? Megan Hathaway. Oh, come on it. It couldn’t be more obvious. She used Ralph to brainwash Michael’s once, and now she’s done it again.

Megan, Megan would make sense if she somehow, somehow flipped the tables on you. I mean, I don’t know why she would wanna kill her brother. I don’t have any idea about that. But somehow I think she is up to her eyeballs on all of this. You’re wrong. Just go away.

No, I’m gonna do better than that. I’m gonna help you. Okay? I, I know you want my help. And, um, I’m gonna help you get back to your right mind. There’s nothing wrong with my mind, and yet here you are shackled to this bed after attempting an assassination. Paris. Okay? This isn’t you. This isn’t, you says stop.

Okay. No, listen to me. I know. I know. That the last time you were de programmed, it wasn’t a pleasant thing. Okay, so we don’t have to call in isa. Marlena can do this. She can do it here. She helps. No. Oh, I Let me call. No, look, you came to Salem to stop Megan Hathaway from ever hurting anyone ever again. But what she’s done is hurt you.

She has stripped you of your humanity so that she could use you to do her dirty work. You can’t let her do that. You can’t let her do that Again, you have to, you have to find. Your real self, your true self. Harris is your good man. Your decent man.

You are a hero. You saved my life. Okay? I wanna help you. I wanna help you, but I can only help you. If you give me your consent, will you do that?

Why would I consent to letting a shrink mess with my head? I answered, Alicia, I don’t need to be programmed to do what he wants. Of course you do. Anyone who can suddenly be okay with committing murder, that means that you were turned by someone who only thinks of you as a tool. And to me, that screams Megan Hathaway.

Are you finished?

You can’t let her do this to you again. I know that you want my help. I just really hope to God that you accept it because if you don’t, you will forever be a pawn for making sick.

Why would Megan want stuff? And Dad, he’s her brother. He’s also co c e o of Demara. So what, so you have what she wants, what All demaris want more power, money control. A bigger piece of the proverbial pie. And if Stephan were to meet his untimely demise, no, no, no, no. She may want the company, but she’s not gonna take out a family member to get it.

But you, Lee would absolutely take me out for another chance with Gabby. Hmm. So that’s it. There’s only one possible explanation that I did this because I can’t let go of my ex even after I didn’t fight you on the divorce. And I’ve told you repeatedly, I just want you to be happy. I decided to do a total 180 and risk my freedom, my future, everything to murder.

Stephan, a man you never stopped loving even after he was dead. So that way I could be with you again, knowing full well your heart would always belong to him. Yep, you got me. That’s it. That’s how I wanna spend the rest of my life. Good luck, man. I really hope there’s room in that bed of yours for the three of you, you, Gabby, and her ego.

Of course, I’m on your side. I would, I would never betray you. I’d never turn my back on you. I’m so sorry that I ever made you feel otherwise.

You are the most important person in my life to be true. You are my life.

And that’s why I know I can be a forbearing at times.

Okay. I suppose I can be downright track.

I’m with you, Dimitri. It’s only because I want you to have a very full, happy life. I want that so much for you,

and to that end, I have done everything I can to protect you from those who would sabotage you. Undermine you the way they tried to do me, you mean, uh, the other Damaris? The Yes. Yes. That’s what I mean.

But give me some good news. Tell me about Gwen and how that’s going. Well, I proposed and I offered her a diamond ring. Yes, I know. And has she accepted?

No, not yet. But you should know that all this time that I’ve been by your side, she’s been right here by mine. And from the moment that they rushed you into surgery, she has been here. And I don’t think that she’s left. Now I think she’s still here. She hasn’t left once. Oh, that’s wonderful. Dimitri. Bless her heart.

You know, I know that I was be cavalier and somewhat callous at the beginning of all of this, wanting you to get married. Just because the inheritance was contingent upon it, but

there is nothing that would lift my spirits more than knowing that when you do Mary Ms. R Jack, That you will not only have secured the Von of Fortune, but you would’ve found someone to truly love someone worthy of you.

Oh, so now it’s not just Dimitri plotting against me, it’s his mother too. You said he hasn’t left her side since she got here. Clearly, they’re thickest thieves. Oh, yes. He’s a very devoted son, so clearly they’re conspiring against me. You are really reaching Matty. Mm, I don’t think so. Love bug. When I said Kristen and EJ free, they told me they think Megan and her Spawn are just using you.

But what purpose? Well, they, they couldn’t remember, but they are sure those two are plotting something.

Will you help us figure out what Megan was plotting? Look, I will beg you if I have to.

Why don’t we try Come Scott. No, wait, wait. Come in.

I just wanna make sure that we’re not interrupted. Okay. Who wants to go first?

You know, at first I thought that Lee was trying to throw suspicion off of himself and onto Megan. Yeah. But what he said about her does seem at least possible. And he’s right. I mean, Megan has brainwashed Michaels before. God. I just, I keep going back to that moment where God, he was trying to shoot you.

He’s a Navy seal. If he would’ve pulled the trigger, he wouldn’t have missed. Yeah. So you bum rushed him to get his gun, Gabby. I can’t believe what you did to save me. I had to. You kidding me? I wasn’t gonna let that happen again. N not again. Not like that. Stephen, I love you so much. I love you. That monster that did this is gonna have to pay.

You think it was Megan, you were wondering why she was so insistent on throwing us that party. And that party is exactly where all this went down. Yeah. And EJ and Chris said that they were being held captive by her for weeks. They still don’t know why. Well, maybe this is why. Maybe they were onto her and she needed them out of the way.

Oh, and then maybe that witch injected them with something to make them forget. I will kill her. I will, I will literally go to the hospital right now and, and just smother her with a pillow. Take it easy, easy. Take it easy. Her sister tried to whack you. It’s ruthless. It’s, it’s totally her mo. We’re still not sure.

All right. And it’s too dangerous for you to confront her by yourself, so we need the authorities to handle this. I’ll talk to Trask and I’ll meet you at home. Or the two of us could go smother Megan together. Okay, fine. We’ll do it your way.

See how I just, I just want this to be overs. I just want you to be safe.

It is exhausting trying to convince you that all I want is for you to be safe. How about happy? Do you want that for me? Because Demetri makes me feel that way. Orgasms don’t count. You bloody stop it with the crude jokes and a loud, bloody name calling, there’s absolutely no proof that Demetri is up to no good.

You want proof? I’ll get you proof. I will go back to that house of horrors and dig something up. Yeah, that’s what you said the night of the party. Well, it is not my fault. I got sidetracked by two memory impaired de mirrors. And by the way, just because I didn’t find anything the first time doesn’t mean there’s nothing to be found.

No fine, then go at it. You’re just gonna be wasting your time. Just promise me you will not give D V L or his magic penis an answer about the proposal until I report back.

You’re really asking a lot. I mean, it’s been days. Since he proposed to me, what if he, what if he gets tired of waiting? What if he takes it back? Well then you, my little potato pancake can consider yourself lucky.

Ah, so. Here I am recovering from my brush with death, which given that I actually did lose my life some time ago, doesn’t seem that momentous does it. I mean, if I can come back stronger than ever, from the great beyond, you’ll be back to your old self again, stronger than ever. Once more. And looking at the bright side, my being out of commission for a little while.

Provided an opportunity for you and Gwen to spend some very valuable time together and for you to learn that she is both loyal and Carrie.

Megan, you’re awake. I am indeed. I’m very happy to see you. Are you. I, I wouldn’t be anywhere else. Your son here has been praying for your recovery, as have I. I’m very grateful to both of you.

You both did very well. Is everything clear to you now? Oh, that’s psycho. Megan was planning to kill Stephan. She brainwashed Harris and obviously set up Le Shin to take the fall. Thank God it all came back to us. Oh my God. But it’s still her word against ours. But we have the advantage now. We have the truth.

Marina, I know this was asking a lot and we are so very grateful, but because of you, we can stop Megan from doing any further damage. No, thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Marlena. I, I don’t know how, what to say. Just. Make sure she pays. Okay. What is our next move? We should split up. You go to the station and alert the police.

All right. And what are you gonna do? My dear sister is languishing in hospital. I think it’s time we pay her a visit.

Honestly, this is so wonderful. It’s just such an absolute relief to me too, obviously, especially knowing that you’ve been here by my son’s side, the entire ordeal.

Yes. Well, I’ve, I’ve seen how devoted your son is to you. He was sick with worry. Well, no more worry now. Just a great deal of gratitude that we still have so many happy days ahead of us here, here, and you know, this entire experience has made me realize how much I’ve taken for granted going along as if I have infinite tomorrows.

But this has reminded me that there is nothing in life. That’s a guarantee. It could all end tomorrow in an instant. So I say looking at the two of you, beautiful people starting a new life together.

At least I fer hope you are.

By Darlene’s son and you Gwen, who have supported him through this difficult time, allow me to impart a bit of wisdom.

Don’t postpone your happiness. If an opportunity presents itself, seize it with courage and conviction, and without delay, don’t let it pass you by.

I think I need to rest Yes. Of, of course. I hope that we haven’t text you too much. Not at all. You’ve warmed my heart. Inspired me to heal quickly. But you could go home now. Get out of this jury hospital. You sure? You’ll be all right? Absolutely. Just seeing the two of you growing closer together, making each other happy, it reminds me of the richness in life of the wealth that’s available to us if we simply commit and receive it.

Right. Well, I’m, I’m gonna let you rest, right?

I’m.

Bravo. That was most eloquent out there. Do you think I got my point across? Oh yes. Very effectively. And now, uh, it is time for you to take the reins. Dimitri. It is time for you to make this happen. Make that woman your wife. I will do my damnedest and one.

Don’t trust the others, the, and never forget that you and I we’re a team. We must stick together a united front. Yes, yes, yes. Mother United front. Always,

I love you.

Tell Ms. Trask it’s urgent. Stephan Demara. No, she has my number step. What are you doing here, Gabby? And I just grubbly shin. Now I need to find the da. Yes. Same here. Need to talk. I need to start from Megan. What? What?

What’s wrong? I don’t have time to explain. I’m looking for my sister’s room. Megan, why? So I can tell that maniacal snake that the jig is up. So Marlena agreed to hypnotize you and ej. Mm-hmm. I mean, she wasn’t happy about it, but she did know it was the only way. Did it work? Yeah, sure did. And now we know the truth about what our sister did to us and what she tried to do to you.

So Megan is actually the one who wanted step in death? That’s right. Well, Harris is convinced that the order came from Shin. Yeah. Lee insists he didn’t give Michaels a command to kill me, Gabby, and I don’t know whether to believe him. Well, you can believe him. All right. The commander did not get his commands from Shin.

Forget Shin. Megan’s behind this. It’s all about getting control of the company. Are you sure? Thanks to Marlena. Yes. I frigging knew it

well. Megan gambled that EJ and I wouldn’t remember, and she gambled and lost. It’s the perfect setup. She programs Michaels to think he got his orders from Lee. Her hands stay clean. Mm-hmm. But not anymore. You see, everyone’s gonna know the truth about Megan starting with the da. I left her a message to call me as soon as she’s out of her meeting.

No need for you to hang around as Megan’s intended victim. I would like to be the one to give Trask everything she needs to nail our sister to the wall. Mm. All right, then I will see you back at the house.

It’s time to let my sister know that she’s not fooling anyone anymore. Has she even woken up yet? Well, if she hasn’t, I’ll shake her back to consciousness. Oh, I would love to see the look on her face when she finds out she’s gonna be spending the rest of her miserable life in a cage. And by all means, join me.

I got a message through the police that you wanted to see me. Dr. Evans, thank you for, for coming. What’s going on?

Um,

I realize that I, I need your help.

Coast is clear. Let’s give this another go.

What are you hiding here? Dimwit.

Who the hell do you think you

probably feels like forever since you’ve been back here? I haven’t really missed it, truth be told. That’s because wherever you are is where I now want to be.

I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to have you by my side. I would never have left him alone. Never.

What is it?

Nothing. Okay, I should go. You get some rest. I’ll call you later. Dimitri. Wait.

Look, I know that there’s a lot going on right now.

But I haven’t forgotten that you are waiting my response to your proposal. Oh, Gwen, don’t worry about that. I can wait. No, I can’t wait. And I have an answer for you now.

My answer is yes.

So do you believe me? Now let me be very clear, Lee. I would never take your word on anything, but Kristen was just here and she remembers what happened now. She confirmed what you said. Megan programmed Harris to kill me. Finally, so go talk to the police and get me outta here. No, no, no. This may have been Megan’s plan, but you damn well could have been in on it.

So till I have confirmation, I. That you weren’t, you’re not going anywhere,

dear. I know the truth now.

Hope: You’re home, liam. That’s a start. So let me prove my love to you. Let me fix the damage that I have caused.

Liam: I… I don’t think this is the kind of thing we fix. You kissed thomas and I had to force you to tell me the truth about it.

Hope: Liam, I am ashamed about what I’ve done. I never should– please just allow me the chance to make it better. I am begging you to please see the bigger picture, liam. Our family is worth fighting for. Please. Can you forgive me?

Steffy: I know, thomas. Hope kissed you in rome. Come on, admit it.

Thomas: Okay, fine. She kissed me, but it just happened. All right? I didn’t plan it. The last thing I want is for hope’s marriage to be ruined.

Brooke: Oh, I just can’t believe that liam saw hope kissing thomas. He walked out on her and he still didn’t come back this morning.

Ridge: Don’t worry, they’ll find their way back to each other.

Brooke: And what if they don’t?

Ridge: They will. We did. Something worth fighting for, you fight. I mean, if you wanna lean on me.

Brooke: Yeah.

[ Knock on the door ]

R.J.: Hey.

Ridge: Hey.

R.J.: How are you guys? Oh, well, it’s nice seeing the two of you together. Mom, how are– how are you doing? Are you okay?

Brooke: I’m concerned.

R.J.: Yeah, I know. I’m worried about hope too.

R.J.: Honestly, I wanted to believe that liam was gonna be there, but…

Brooke: Have you talked to hope since this morning?

R.J.: No, I haven’T. Seems like she needs her space.

Brooke: Oh, she may need us now more than ever. I– I don’t understand it. Kissing thomas like that. Why would she do that? Throw away everything that she has with liam.

Ridge: Well, you know, we may never know why she did what she did.

Steffy: Look, I know this wasn’t your doing. Hope’s the one. You’re not to blame. But that kiss, it changes everything. Hope kissed you. It’s her fault, not yours.

Hope: We have a future. We do. We have a life and a family that we need to protect, and I understand that what I did put that in jeopardy, but liam, I refuse to give up on us. I still believe in us. Please say that you do, too.

Liam: We have– we have been through so much. I– I wanted us to work. I wanted our family to thrive, but I– I can’t give you what you need. I can’t forgive this. Not you and thomas. The fact is, our marriage is over and you– and you and you always knew that it would be if you chose this. So, uh, you know… I want a divorce. Hi, I’m sharon, and I lost 52 pounds on golo.

Brooke: To be quite honest, I have had concerns about hope’s feelings for thomas for quite some time.

R.J.: Why would she kiss thomas?

Brooke: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe she got caught up in the success of hope for the future, and you and I both know what that’s like. All of the energy and the excitement and the intensity of doing something amazing together, and then add on the romance of rome…

Ridge: It’s still not excuse.

Brooke: No, I didn’t say it was.

Ridge: Well…

Brooke: I don’t mean that, it’s just, I’m trying to come up with some kind of explanation. Hope loves liam. She’s mortified by what she did. She’s going to fight for her marriage.

Thomas: Look, steff, this whole situation is, uh, complicated and really, it’s none of your business.

Steffy: It is my business if it has the ability to affect forrester creations and hope for the future.

Thomas: Okay, steff, please tell me you’re not gonna do anything to upset hope and liam’s marriage. I don’t want one little kiss to ruin her entire life.

Steffy: So, wait, you’re okay with everyone painting you as the villain just to protect hope? Well, the thing is, the truth is already out. Liam is the one who told me. Liam saw hope kissing you in front of the colosseum. He knows everything.

Hope: You don’t mean that. Liam, I know you’re hurt, but please… don’t talk about divorce. I mean, our marriage, it– it doesn’t have to be over.

Liam: What happens the next time you’re alone with thomas? I mean, between douglas and work, there’s always gonna be another opportunity for it to happen again.

Hope: No, no, it wouldn’t–

Liam: Hope, it doesn’t matter how much I love you. I’m going to be haunted by this every time you leave the house, every time I see you two together. That is– it’s not–

Hope: We can move past this. I promise you we can. I know we can because I’ve forgiven you for so much worse. I’m sorry, I love you. I love you.

Liam: Um… I’m gonna be– I’m gonna be staying at my dad’s until he’s, uh, back in town and we’ll– we’ll co-parent beth and we’ll– you know, we’ll make sure this is as easy on the kids as possible.

Hope: And what about us?

Liam: I love you more than anything. I don’t want this. But… you chose the one thing you knew I couldn’t survive. And let’s be honest, hope, you’re still not gonna stop working with him. You’re always gonna find new ways to keep him in your life, in our lives.

Hope: He is douglas’ father.

Liam: You gotta stop saying that ’cause it’s more than that. You have feelings for him. You are attracted to him. You want him. And what’s worse than that is that you’ve spent months accusing me of being jealous, of being controlling, of being unsupportive of your career. You made me feel crazy when you knew all along that what I was seeing was real. That– that, I can’t forgive. Of course, I’ve made mistakes. We’ve both made mistakes, we’ve both forgiven, but you’ve always known, not thomas, never thomas.

[Stomach growling]

R.J.: After what happened in rome, do you think hope’s marriage is gonna be able to survive?

Ridge: R.J.

R.J.: What?

Brooke: I don’t know. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more it just doesn’t make sense. Hope’s always been the good girl, you know, living her life with principles and morals. I never thought that this would happen. I never thought she would risk everything that she believed in just for a moment with thomas.

Thomas: Hold on a second. You– you said that liam saw us? That’s not possible. He wasn’t in rome.

Steffy: Yeah, liam regretted his decision not to be there for hope and her line. So, he surprised her. He flew to rome. He wanted to show how committed he was to their life and their marriage and instead, he saw his wife kissing you. I ran into liam after you and hope kissed and I– I’ve never seen him so heartbroken and disillusioned.

[ Liam sobbing ]

Steffy: Oh, my god, liam. Hey. [ Sighs ]

Thomas: I– I don’t know, I feel like I should talk to him.

Steffy: What? No, no, no, you don’t– you don’t have to do that. Liam saw hope kiss you.

Steffy: He knows that she was the one who initiated it and you already know how liam feels about you. Look, I– I tried to convince him to be able to find some forgiveness. I just, I don’t know if he’ll be able to do that.

Thomas: I have caused hope so much pain in her life and I– I– I don’t want to be responsible for any more of it. I mean, that time in rome, that should have been a highlight for her and her life and her career. But instead it’s, like, gonna be some kind of dark cloud, and it could lead to the end of her marriage.

Hope: We’ve always found our way back to each other. Liam, the life that we have built with each other, with beth, that is worth saving, that is worth fighting for. And I know that I have made mistakes, but like you said, we both have and we have always managed to find forgiveness.

Liam: Like I said, if it had been anyone else, you know, we– we’d have found our way back. We would have. But… with thomas, I can’t, I just… I can’T.

Hope: So, you’re saying there’s no way forward for us? You’re closing that door?

[ Sobbing ] Uh… I, um… I just have to ask. Have you seen steffy since this all happened? You have, haven’t you? Wow.

[ Laughs ] Oh. So, maybe it’s– it’s not just me. That’s the problem here, right? I mean, you… keep mentioning thomas, but steffy has always had a seat at the table in our relationship and our marriage, and you did go see her, didn’t you? Let me guess, you want her back now? Yeah. Liam, that’s pretty predictable.

Liam: Hey, hope. I haven’t had a single thought about steffy. But I’m thinking about her now. You know everything thomas has done. Pain and the suffering that he’s caused us, and there has to be something broken inside of you for you to want him, for you to want that.

Hope: Maybe you’re right.

Liam: Yeah. Goodbye, hope.

Living with diabetes?

Brooke: Hope and I have had some painful conversations. I– I never thought my past would influence her the way it has.

R.J.: No, mom, don’t blame yourself for this. All right? Hope is her own person and she’s gonna fix her relationship with liam in her own way. Okay?

Brooke: Okay. But I’m also concerned about some of the things she said to me. Like she doesn’t want to be anything like me and how she has no desire to live her life like I’ve lived mine.

Ridge: All right, but you gotta understand that she was upset and you know how much she loves you and respects you.

Brooke: I think the reason she was lashing out at me was because she was starting to have feelings stirring inside of her for another man, the wrong man. And it may have cost hope her relationship with liam.

Liam: I have begged you so many times to keep thomas out of your life. And when you don’t, we all pay the price.

Hope: Okay, fine. Fine. Fine, I’ll tell him no. I changed my mind.

Liam: What are you saying?

Hope: I asked thomas to come back to hope for the future. Thomas and I are… going to be working together… again. Liam, I don’t want to hurt you. But thomas is my lead designer. He is my partner and… I can’t imagine being in rome without him.

Liam: Of course, I’ve made mistakes. We’ve both made mistakes. We’ve both forgiven. But you’ve always known, not thomas, never thomas. I want a divorce.

[ Knock on the door ]

Hope: Liam knows. He saw us in italy.

Thomas: I know. Steffy told me. I– I was gonna call but I didn’t know if it’d make the situation worse. Did you talk to liam? What did he say?

Hope: Well, I tried to explain it. I tried to make sense of it. That we weren’T… exactly thinking, but he did not want to hear that. And, um… yeah, after everything we have been through… liam doesn’t see a way forward for us. Liam wants a divorce.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hey. Hey. Come on in. Beautiful. Oh, yes, it is. It’s a beautiful day. That too. You know, I have everything I want — a man that I love, I have a wedding on the horizon, and there is barely a cloud in the sky. I don’t see any clouds. Well, just one. Willow’s gonna be home soon. That’s a good thing. But without me. I think my bubble should include nina. Look, I-I know how you feel about her, but if I can only be with a few people each day until my immune system kicks in… yeah. You want your mom to be one of them. We’ve been given a miracle here. Shouldn’t we share it? Not only with the people who deserve it, like your mom, but also with the people who don’t, like mine. You’re not thinking of refinancing the house, are you? No. No. I don’t think I could afford the monthly payment. Besides, I don’t think the bank would refinance me. Okay, good. So we can take the idea of mortgage off the table? Absolutely. ‘Cause I’m selling the house. I appreciate your punctuality. It’s the little things that engender trust. Well, I’m glad you find me trustworthy, but I was on my way to meet a client when I got your urgent message. Have a seat. Thank you. Do you also meet with the quartermaine legal team poolside?

[ Chuckles ] No. They do not have the ability that you do to think outside the box.

[ Chuckles ] Thank you for the flattery, tracy, but it’s absolutely unnecessary. Just tell me what you would like. I’d like to hire you. Hang on. Stop the presses. Did you just say you consider me a friend? Aw, you’re so lucky to have a friend like mac, cody. It’s a wicked world out there. Y-you can easily make the wrong choices, you know?

[ Sighs ] Hey! Is it true? It’s what true? That cody’s been cleared. Olivia texted me the good news. The charges have been dropped. Wow. That is so awesome. You must be absolutely thrilled.

[ Laughs ] I wouldn’t go that far. Okay, listen to me. You are entitled to feel happy for your friend, okay? And we’re gonna celebrate that, all the good news, as soon as we take care of business. Oh, where is maxie?!

[ Chuckles ] Well, that’s a very impressive opening offer, tracy, uh, but I should tell you, I already have all the clients I can handle. Ah, yes, I’m sure a client with the career of sonny corinthos does keep you busy, not to mention carly and all her current legal woes. But I have a feeling that once you hear what I have to say, you’re gonna want to fire all your clients and represent me exclusively.

[ Laughs ] Well, you will notice I have neither accepted your check, nor have I pushed it back across the table. So please continue. I’d like to report a robbery. That’s a matter for the police. I’m not talking about a car or a computer. What I’m talking about is worth a king’s ransom, or if you prefer, a queen. And this queen would like the thieves to pay dearly for what they stole. Well, I’m intrigued. So what was it exactly that was stolen? The deceptor? I don’t get it. Why is this meeting so hush-hush? Are we introducing a new product that’s gonna be bigger and better than the deceptor? Um, actually, you will know soon enough. Um, hey, uh, the twittersphere didn’t have a lot of detail. What happened? How did — how did cody skate on those charges? Yeah, was cody telling the truth? Did gladys really plant that bracelet in his jacket pocket? No. Turns out that the bracelet was just misplaced, and gladys made an honest mistake in blaming cody. Huh. So you and gladys are on good terms, then? Never better. What about you and cody? Dante, dante, dante. You and your wicked world. When we were kids in summer camp, dante was always full of these, uh, stories, urban legends, tall tales of these, uh, these mysterious creatures that were half man, half monster, that’d stalk the forests and eat lost campers. Or so he claimed. Uh, they’re real. They’re real. They look like scott baldwin.

[ Cellphone rings ] -Oh, excuse me. -Ah. Hey, maxie, what’s up? Mac. Is my mom with you? Uh, georgie and bailey lou are with liesl, but I am late for a meeting, and I have no one to watch james. Grandpa, I need my own bedroom. Sounds like you need an entire swat team. No worries. I’m on my way. Problems? Big trouble — the kind that every kid can get into, like every parent knows. Congratulations again on getting those charges dropped. I just hope you can take advantage of it. Martin, did you take my advice about lucy? Oh, yo u mean about, uh,not keeping things from her? Yes. Thank you. Uh, the advice was taken. Glad to hear it. Well, have a nice day. Nice suit. Now that sonny is planning on marrying nina, we can’t keep wishing that she’s going to disappear from our lives. Like it or not, sonny and nina are part of the family. Y-you’ve still backed off on your vow to take down your dad, right?

[ Sighs ] I still haven’t forgiven or forgotten what he did to my mom and our family. But, no, I’m not — I’m not wasting any more time on a vendetta to try and make him pay for the pain that he caused. I’m proud of you for that. But I also just — I don’t want to waste any more time, either. You know, I’ve missed so much already. When I… almost… hey, no. But you didn’T. Okay? You came back to us. Nina is part of us, michael. She’s part of me, whether I like it or not. Look, I don’t expect you to forget or forgive her, but for me… I spent all of those years trying to build a relationship with harmony, despite her many flaws, because I believed she was my mother. Well, nina is my biological mother. Shouldn’t I give her the same consideration? I want to get to know the mother I never had… …and let her get to know me. Yo u know, I can go to ghand speak to willow. Now that she’s had that, you know — this life-changing experience, maybe she could see things different. Thank you. But, no, you can’t do that. That’s exactly what michael said that he didn’t want you to do. And I’m not gonna put you in that position, honey, to — to act as a go-between, plead with willow. If it came from willow herself, that’s one thing. But we both know that she will never give me a chance. Never say never. You thought you lost her before. You found her. And then, again, you thought you lost her to leukemia. That’s right. And what happened? So are you saying where there’s life, there’s hope? Well, sonny corinthos, I never took you as the greeting-card type. No, it’s not that. It’s — it’s — I’m a realist. I’ve seen the toughest guys just kind of melt over holding a baby in their arms. And I’ve also heard that there are women who are not even as big as willow pick up an suv with an injured child underneath. You know why? Because I believe in miracles. It was a miracle that I didn’t die in that river. And where did I end up? Nixon falls, where you showed up. Nixon falls. Well, you’re not only a realist, but you are also a romantic. And i love that about you. But we have to be honest. There are some people out there who think us finding each other wasn’t a miracle, but… …more like a catastrophe. You’re gonna sell the house? Carly, you can’t mean that. Well, I mean, it’s not like I want to, but come on, sam. At the end of the day, it’s just a real-estate transaction. This house is too big for me and donna, anyway. And josslyn — she’s gonna be going to pcu in the fall. Hell, she and trina are gonna move out of the dorms and into an off-campus apartment. This is perfect. Uh, sure, it may sound perfect, but you need to, please, think this through. Oh, come on. It’s not like I grew up in this house. I mean, far from it. And with the money we make off this sale, donna and I will be able to move into a condo off charles street and live off the rest. Okay. Yeah, sure, that — that makes a lot of sense. Except for one thing. What? You keep calling this a house. You’re wrong, carly. This is your home.

You know I am talking to you as your friend, right? So I-I’m just urging you to please consider the consequences of selling this house before you just minimize it down to a real-estate transaction. Okay, I don’t have the luxury of being sentimental. I mean, look at drew. He sacrificed himself for me — his freedom. I mean, sacrificing a house, or a home — I mean, it just seems so small in comparison, sam. Okay, well, speaking of drew, what do you think he would say, knowing what you’re planning on doing with the house? Well, he wouldn’t like it, but he doesn’t have to know. Right, sam? Please don’t tell him. Oh, no, of course I’m not gonna say anything to him. It’s not my place. He’s bound to find out. I know he’s gonna find out. But, you know, by then it’ll be too late. It’s my choice, right? I mean, it’s my decision. Yeah, of course it’s your choice. But… when you put that “for sale” sign out on the front yard, think about how donna’s gonna feel. She loves this house. I know. I know. I know she loves it. And I know she’s gonna miss it. But she’ll understand. Okay. She will. She will. Sure. But will you? Carly, when you and sonny got divorced, the only thing you held on to, the only thing you fought for, was this house. Are you really ready to just let it go? Look, we both know, uh, we can’t turn back the clock. We can’t undo the hurt we caused in the past. But you got to understand something. If it wasn’t for your aunt liesl, willow wouldn’t have had the bone marrow transplant. She — maybe she would have died. You did that for her. You gave her a gift — a gift of your family. And if michael and willow can’t acknowledge that… listen. Your family saved her life.

[ Cellphone rings ] Um… I was — I was just thinking about you. How’s the patient? Well, we, uh, just got the all-clear. Willow’s going home. You must be thrilled to be going home. I can’t thank you enough for all the care that you gave me. It’s all part of the job. No, I may not have worked here as a nurse for very long, but… you went way beyond the call of duty. You were the one who got me to see this… isn’t all about me. I assume you mean being reunited with your little ones? Yes, of course. But also someone else. I was right, wasn’t I? A girl needs her mom. Before willow leaves the hospital, there’s, uh, something that she needs. Of course. Just name it. She needs her mom. As you can see, the file contains a timeline detailing the development of the deceptor and the skyrocketing sales once it was released. Tracy, these documents look very confidential. How did you get them? Ah, home already. I take it you have something for me. Here. All the proprietary information on the deceptor, from the current sales report to the first communications about it last fall. Never mind how I got them. How did deception get them? And do not tell me that they sprang fully formed from lucy coe’s questionable brain. No, no, of course not. A product like this often has years of research and development, but — and yet — and yet, the timeline confirms they suddenly showed up in deception’s files as early as last autumn. Okay. Cards on the table, tracy. Are you saying that the deceptor is stolen intellectual property? I’m not saying it. You are. Yes, cody is my friend, and I am very glad that his name was cleared. Hmm. No thanks to gladys. Yeah. Gladys was pretty useless as my assistant, but she did seem pretty dedicated to nailing cody. Look, from gladys’ point of view, she was just looking out for me. The only crime she made was caring too much. I know you feel loyal to her, but you’re still gonna push for her to end this guardianship over you, right? Yes. I am more determined than ever. And thanks to the help of my psychiatrist, dr. Damon montague, I believe the court is ready to decide I am able to be on my own. In fact, I am gonna go celebrate my upcoming freedom with a latte from perks, if you ladies will excuse me. -Oh. -Oh. So, uh , what were youand scott talking about? Look, I bet you 10 to 1 the words “get rich quick” were involved. Scott and I have a connection, remember? Right. Dominique baldwin. Yeah. Not only was she my mom, but she was also the love of scott’s life at one time. Okay, so why does that connection mean so much to you when the other connection — mac being your dad — how come that doesn’t mean anything to you? How many times do I have to say it? Mac’s better off not knowing.

Mac’s better off? Yeah. Or you’re better off? ‘Cause it seems like whatever you and scott got cooking is on the wrong side of the law. And, look, I-I’m the law, right? I’m the law. And if you’re in over your head, like you kind of have been ever since you fell in that pool — just drop it, dante. Okay? Okay. All right. You want to talk to me? I know who you can talk to. Ah! Grandpa, can I live with you? I’m tired of being the only boy. James! Hey. Go to your meeting, maxie. I got this. Oh, mac. Are you sure? Go, mommy. We got this.

[ Laughing ] Okay. Oh, maxie, I am so sorry I am late. Tell it to the cops. Apparently, they got this.

[ Laughter ] Hey. What kept you? I took a job. What kind of job? The kind I know best. I am not only your grandma. I’m also felicia scorpio, private eye.

Grandma,what’s a private eye? It means that I solve mysteries, like your “hardy boys” books or your “scooby-doo” cartoons. You do what grandpa does? Yeah. Yeah, it’s very similar. Okay, james, now I’m gonna need your help. Can you find me one of your mommy’s old sheets? The rattier, the better. I know where to look. Oh, good job. Um, if this is about cody, you can stand down. The charges were dropped. Oh, that’s good news, mac. But my case has nothing to do with cody. I’m doing this for an old friend. Someone I know? Grandpa, that’s private. Remember? She’s a private eye. And “private” means you don’t talk about it. Yeah, grandpa. Okay, james, now that you are my official sidekick, I need you to spread the sheet out on the floor. And maybe grumpy grandpa will help you if it feels like it. Well, I don’t know how I feel about that title, but, okay, I’ll help.

[ Laughs ] Okay, private eye, here we go. And, uh, well… now what? Next we get to work, and we look for clues… …by sorting through garbage. Awesome.

[ Felicia laughs ] You want me to talk to mac scorpio? Geez, dante, talk about beating a dead horse. You know that he’s literally the last person I can talk to. No, he’s literally the person you’re choosing not to talk to. And he’s your father, man. Look, if scott’s gotten you into some trouble, talk to mac. Tell him. Tell him what’s going on. He’ll hear you out. Maybe he’ll help you get out of whatever mess you’re in. Yeah, well, what if I don’t want out of it? What if I’m the one driving the situation, not scott? You ever consider that? I know, I know. I’m late. I’m sorry. What is this big emergency? Good. You are here now. I can break the news. What news? Well, I don’t know how to say it, really. There’s no easy way to say it, so I’m just gonna say it. We have a snake in our midst. It makes me very happy that a lawyer as sharp as you is thinking what you’re thinking, ’cause it makes me believe the judge might agree with you. Okay. So are you actually accusing lucy and sasha and maxie, and not to mention your own granddaughter, of stealing the idea for the deceptor? I’m not accusing anybody of anything…yet. Well, then what am I doing here? Can you at least tell me who it was stolen from? It is time for you to put your cards on the table. Are you in, or are you out? This house has been my home for a long time, and I’m not gonna deny how much it means to me. It’s the only house that donna’s ever known. And after my marriage ended with sonny and after I lost the metro court, this house was the one thing outside of my kids that I could hold on to. Even now, I can stand in this room, and I can hear every laugh, I can feel every tear, I can even taste every meal we’ve shared. And the memories of josslyn growing up here, the memories of morgan, those memories… they’re gonna be in my heart forever.

[ Sighs ] So are you really ready to let that all go? I don’t have a choice. I mean, I-I’m a survivor, and I have to adapt. And as hard as it’s gonna be to walk out that front door and never come back, that’s what I’m gonna have to do. Nina: When willow finds out that I am the one that turned in carly and drew, any chance that I have of forging a relationship with her is gone. Nina, what’s wrong? I’m, uh — I’m not as brave as I thought I was. I-I’m gonna mess this up. I can’T. I can’t do this.

Excuse me. Are you willow’s mom, by any chance? Yes. Yes, I am. Willow told me she asked to see you. I’m so happy for you and your daughter. But you’re going to need to put this on first. Yeah. Thank you. It was nice meeting you. Okay. Nina. Willow’s ready to see you.

[ Monitor beeping ] I am sorry. You didn’t come over here to hear all my problems… no, don’t do that. …Listen to this. Don’t, don’T. Don’t be sorry. I asked how you were feeling, and I’m glad that you feel close enough that you could lean on me. Carly, it hasn’t always been that way. My loss. Mine, too. You know, I always considered you jason’s friend.

[ Chuckles ] I’m glad that’s changed. See, I’m not just losing a house. I’m gaining a friend. You never lost me. And as far as selling the house, I say we just, like — w-we put a pin in it. We can, you know, just think things through, see if you have other options. I don’t have any other options. And those memories I talked about, they’re not bound by four walls and a roof. They’re gonna come with me wherever I go. And they’re gonna be the foundation I build on. And — and not just the home I create, but the new version of myself. Aw. There we go. There’s that fighting spirit. Yeah. I’ve done this before. I have. And this time, when I’m finished. I’m gonna get back everything I’ve lost. Willow’s amazing. I knew she was tough enough to take on cancer, but to open her heart to nina was — I mean, that’s — well, she didn’t — she didn’t open her heart. She just opened a door. And it remains to be seen if nina will make willow regret it. Considering everything you’ve been through, you look wonderful. Some color in your cheeks again. And your eyes… the staff here have taken excellent care of me. But now it’s time to go home. Yes. You must be… really anxious to get back to, uh, wiley and amelia. And is there anything I can do to help you? As a matter of fact, yes, there is. Once I get settled in at home, I’D… …like you to come for a visit. A snake? Who’s the snake? Uh, it all began with what I thought was just gonna be, you know, a normal, routine report from our it department. But instead, it was anything but routine what they found yesterday — an unauthorized download from our executive shared drive. That download contained data that was highly confidential about the deceptor. Wait, that data is password-protected. Yeah, it was. Only us. We know the password. So you’re — you’re saying one of us logged on to the shared file and stole all the data on the deceptor? Nope. Not what I’m saying. I’m not saying one of us. I’m saying you, maxie. You stole it. Tracy, if I’m gonna take you on as a client, I need more. There’s plenty more where that came from. Ah. I’m not talking about the money… entirely. I-I need to be able to connect the dots, starting with who actually owns the intellectual property rights, and ending with who has them now and how they plan to reproduce the product. I will get you everything you need to proceed, once you let me know that you are truly on board. Otherwi–

[ Chuckles ] Mm-mm-mm. Right. Well, if what you say is true and a judge agrees, then you and whomever you are working with are gonna get a huge payoff. I know. And you will be entitled to a quarter of it.

[ Laughs ] You’re cute. No, uh, I will be entitled to a third. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go see other clients. Diane. Tracy. Oh, what the — hello, marty. Weren’t you gonna say hello? What are you doing with all this garbage? Well, we’re looking for evidence. Wait a minute. If you obtained this garbage illegally — excuse me. Garbage is fair game. Depends on how you got it. Well, if you must know, I got it from the housekeeper. It’s the honest truth. Grandpa, what’S…

[Haltingly] Hummingbird cake? Hummingbird cake is a cake that’s popular in the south. Whose garbage is this, anyway? James, do you know what this is? This is the jackpot.

Looks like someone was in a rush to put their bank statement through the paper shredder. That explains why some of the pieces are larger than others. Okay, come on, you two. Let’s see this as a jigsaw puzzle. All we have to do is put the pieces together. Grandpa, what is this? Martin: Why, tracy quartermaine. Long time no see. Uh, the last time our paths crossed — you were behind bars. Yeah. It was that unfortunate misunderstanding with alexis. I don’t believe I ever properly thanked you for representing me. Did I? You know, come to think of it, you didn’T. So, by all means, where do I send the bill?

[ Laughs ] Don’t ever lose your sense of humor. You still with lucy coe? I am. Why do you ask?

Chacun a son gout. Come again? “To each his own taste.” Actually, my dearly departed brother also found lucy coe irresistible. Of course, that was never a match made in heaven. You know, that sounds vaguely like a warning. Mnh-mnh. It’s a prediction. What’s the matter, falconeri? Is that really so hard to believe that your old pal could come up with a plan on his own? Not just some harebrained scheme, but an actual way to hit pay-dirt? I think you’re smart, cody. It’s just your judgment I question. Yeah, well, I can’t afford what you consider judgment. I don’t have a father with the same connections as yours. I don’t have a sam in my life or kids or family or friends. Hey, look, I’m not — I’m not trying to throw myself a pity party here. I’m just saying I’ve had to scratch and claw for everything I’ve ever gotten. Yeah, by choice. ‘Cause you got friends, cody. You got me, you got sam, you got sasha. You have a family. You have a dad. You just got to let them in. Or maybe the money is of more value to you. You think I stole from my own company?

[ Sighs ] No, I don’t really think that. I don’t want to think that. But it was very, very clear. The unauthorized download — that data came from your computer and your computer only. Okay. Y-yes, I access the shared file all the time, lucy. I was looking around in it yesterday, but I definitely didn’t download anything. And brook lynn can back me up. She was with me. Remember? I was surprised to see you. I thought you had the day off. Of course I remember that. Okay. Okay. Good. Fine. Do you remember seeing maxie download anything, or — or anybody, anybody at all, download anything from maxie’s computer? My immune system is still going to be compromised for a little while. And, um, the hardest part will be keeping amelia and wiley at a distance for a few weeks. It also means allowing a small bubble of friends and family to be in the same room with me. And you’re including me in this bubble? I want to be very clear that carly will be part of it, too. I-I asked you this once before when I thought I was…dying. But it’s even more important to me now when I have so much to live for. Feuding and the need for vengeance have to stop immediately. If you want to be a part of my life, you have to make peace with carly. I’m so sorry I’m late. I ran into tracy quartermaine. Ooh. Oh, enough said. But your timing’s perfect. Really. Oh, okay, I guess that’s my cue to go. You’re in good hands. It’s good to see you, diane. You, too. Bye, sam. See you later, carly. Okay. Okay. Because of you, you made sure that I got this house when sonny and i got divorced. Mm-hmm. Now I need you to make sure that I will get top dollar when I put this house on the market. Are you seriously thinking of selling? Please don’t talk me out of it. Please don’t try to do that, because I just went through that with sam, all right? This is the only choice I have. There’s nothing else I can do. Oh, my friend, how you underestimate me.

Okay, yes, my computer may have been the entry point, but why would I download files I already have access to? What would be my reason for doing that? Okay, that is curious. You’re right. But if you didn’t do it, then who did? You know, doubtless you have your own history with lucy. Fortunately, my lady love and I share a great many things in common, including an unshakable faith in each other. That’s adorable. But I was wondering if you would be interested in a little proposition. You can think what you want, but I’ve learned not to count on anyone but myself. And how’s that working out for you? It’s a quarterly bank statement. Look at that. $50,000 is automatically deposited every month. This puzzle isn’t any fun. All the pieces are the same. I’m getting a cookie. Okay. Get one for me, please. Odds are those monthly deposits were made by martin’s biggest client, valentin. Yeah, but why aren’t the checks drawn from a bank here in port charles? You’re right, mac. They come from a town in pennsylvania. Pine valley. I give you my word. My feud with carly is officially over.

[ Knock on door ]

[ Monitor beeping ] Nina, are you okay? I’M… …better than okay. Willow, she — she invited me into her bubble of friends and family.

[ Laughs ] Are you upset by my decision? No, no, no. Never. Look, willow, if you want nina included in your circle, I’m not gonna stand in your way. Because your happiness means everything to me. Everything. Carly: I don’t understand. The equity in this house is all I have. Unless I sell it, I won’t be able to afford anything. Carly, who’s the lawyer here? At least let me make my case. Come here.

On the next “General Hospital” —

Transcript provided by Suzanne

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

No, I can’t come to Rockville right now. Yes, I’m aware it is a holiday, but sweep it is reopening tomorrow and you were supposed to make that flower delivery yesterday. Yeah, well, you try running a business after your partner leaves town and your best employee tries to ruin your business.

Did you know my dad? Oh, you’re Theo. You’ve covered son, and you are.

So the eyewitness who saw my dad fall into the water is an actor. Jerry Prentice is his name.

He hasn’t been in much. Just local theater, a commercial. Oh no, look at this. A couple years ago he was on that soap, body and soul.

Oh, well that’s a little better. Do you wanted to see me, Ms. Delo, it’s about time you got here. I have a job for you. What kind of job? Well, I need someone who can pretend to me the true and rifle air to the DeLorean fortune and that.

What is my son doing in one of my life’s stories?

The hell’s going on here.

Nurse King. What are you doing here? I. I, I, I came to say I’m sorry,

like Sam through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Okay, look, I, I get it’s the 4th of July and you wanna spend it with your family, but my family just lost someone really, really dear to us. And, well, my bakery is reopening tomorrow and I, I just really need something good to happen. Okay? So if you can’t help me, I 8:00 PM I will be in the store. Thank you.

Oh, uh, they were supposed to make a delivery yesterday. Flo, they’re coming tonight. As you probably gather, you’re reopening tomorrow. Yeah, that’s the plan. Assuming nothing else goes wrong, what is all this? Uh, just doing my community service. Keeping Salem clean. Yeah, I heard the DA gave you a deal. Lucky break.

Yeah, well, turns out that she had a personal experience with an abusive relationship, so she showed me some mercy. Well, good for you. Uh, I should go, uh, Chanel, uh, hang on, please. What is it?

I just really wanna say how sorry I am.

You’re sorry for what? Well, for your loss. I heard about your husband’s death and I wanted to share my deep condolences. Thank you. That’s very kind. I didn’t know Mayor Carver very well, but he seemed like a decent and caring man. Yes. He was, and you may have been the last person to see him alive.

I thought so. Uh, but it sounds like that guy at the docks was the last one to see him before he met his tragic fate,

body and soul. Never heard of it. Nice try. I know you used to watch it during the day whenever you worked night shifts. I have no idea what you’re talking about. Oh, really? So it was just a coincidence that the TV would be on that channel when I came home. I mean, if you’re watching it, it’s just, just I have to it.

Fine. All right. I, I, I watched it here and there. Mm-hmm. But only cuz I had a crush on that actress, or was her name Sal or something like that. Oh, so you like her, huh? Just cuz she reminded me of you. But baby you are way, way better looking nice, safe. No, but I don’t recall seeing this guy on the show though.

It looks like he was just in a couple episodes. Yes, he gave up his Hollywood dreams and moved back to good old Salem. I gotta be honest. I was kind of hoping for a mugshot and not a headshot. Yeah. He ran him through the system, but came back clean. Looks like he was just an innocent bystander on the docks.

I mean, why would this guy have any reason to lie about seeing my dad fall into the water?

Jerry? Jerry, you’re the witness. You’re the one who saw my dad fall into the river. Yeah, that’s me. But, but what are you doing here now? Uh, I guess I was drawn to come back because I felt guilty. Guilty about what

is an actor?

Doesn’t make sense. I want you to pretend to be Lord Kyle Vaughn Furstenberg bastard, son of lady Charmaine de Laqua, heir to the de fortune. Do you really think that’s going to work? Why not? Well, in case you haven’t noticed, I don’t exactly bear resemblance to the Delacroix land. Oh, what difference does that make?

DNA never lies until it does. So Kyle, Brandy, Kyle. Oh, rights. Kyle, you do exactly what I say. And no one will ever be the wiser.

I sure as hell will be.

Look, I felt terrible when I heard the news. I was really praying that Mary Carver would be found safe. We all were the not knowing was awful, especially for my mom and well now we have closure, but Babe is gone.

Look, I’ll never be able to forgive myself with the role that I played in all of this. And I know that Colin had nothing to do with Abe’s disappearance, but I mean, if he would’ve never assaulted him, and if I would’ve never helped him in that stupid revenge block, what ifs are pointless now? Okay. I look, believe me, I, I did my fair share of those when Colin and Sloan’s mother died, and it didn’t change a damn thing.

So now I know all we can do is just keep moving forward.

You know, you were right. You know, but while I was putting up those fires, I guess I was just trying to asage my guilty conscience. Did it work? No, it, it didn’t, and I know that there’s nothing I can do to make up for how I hurt you and your feeling.

I, I feel guilty because I saw your dad fall and I almost got to him, but it was too late and I wanted to jump in and save him, but I. You can’t swim. I, I understand. I know that the last thing my dad would’ve wanted was for you to lose your life while trying to save his. You did what you could, right? You called 9 1 1.

Yeah.

At least you know what happened to her. I’m actually glad that I ran into you so that. I can say thank you for that.

That’s very kind of, you very kind pay me a condolence call. You obviously care very deeply for your patience. Oh, mayor Carver was, wasn’t just a patient. I voted for him in every election. I then volunteered for him on his campaign. Before I ever met him, I felt as if I, I knew him personally. Hmm. Abe had an amazing talent for connecting with people.

Oh, he did. You’re very lucky to have had him for as long as you did. I keep telling myself that doesn’t make the loss any easier. We were supposed to be celebrating our first wedding anniversary. I was there. You know what? I was in the park the day that you got married. You were? Yes. I attended a, a Juneteenth barbecue and I just stumbled upon it to watch you exchanged your vows and then jump the broom.

Oh. It made me so, so happy to be a small part of that day o of your lives. I will never forget Abe Carver and I, I feel blessed to have known him.

What are you reading the statement from Nurse Whitley King? It seems like she was the last person to have seen my dad before he left the hospital. But if her timetable is right, there’s still all that time missing before he showed up at the docks. I mean, Eli, where could he have gone? We checked every security camera in Salem.

Nothing. There’s Ray. I’m not supposed to be looking at this house. Okay, that’s fine. No, I don’t wanna get you in trouble, babe. I’m not worried about that.

Bonnie. Oh, Bonnie, it’s so good to see you. You too, boss. Yeah. Wish you were under any other circumstances. Same. Hi. Oh, you too. Haven’t met. Sorry. This is Detective Jada. Hunter. Lonnie. Detective, please call me Jada. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Abe was a wonderful man. Thank you. And. I really appreciate you working so hard on this case.

Okay. Listen, I’m sure that you didn’t, uh, just come all the way down here to Salem PD to say hello. Well, I was part of it. Right. So, uh, let’s just say hypothetically, if you wanted to take a look at the evidence and I wasn’t there, then, uh, hypothetically that would be okay. No harm, no foul. Thank you for understanding.

I’m sorry. That’s my boss from DC second. Okay.

Oh, I’m sorry. Yeah, I’m really sorry. We. I just wish we had better information on your father, Ray. I know that you’ve gone over this case a hundred different ways. I guess I thought if I just, if I saw the evidence for myself that it would help me to accept what happened. Yeah, but I don’t know. Truth is if even if we did figure it out, nothing’s gonna bring my dad back.

Let’s just get to the credits. So I’m hosting the Party of the Decade at Patterns. You plead it, right? And I expect by the ends of the evening you’ll be welcomed into the family’s exclusive. Oh, what do you get out of this? That’s for me to know, for you to find out.

All right here.

Jerry Prentice. What the hell?

That’s not my son’s name.

That means Pauline’s been lying to me. What else is she lying about?

I gotta get outta here. I gotta get outta here.

Are you still seeing Dr. Evans? Yeah. Therapy is a condition of my probation, but I mean, I would’ve gone even if I didn’t have to. So if she’s helping you, yeah, more than I could have hoped. I’m glad to hear that.

Yeah, and I’m glad to see you moving forward too. Look, Chanel Sweet Bits is a great place and I know that you’re gonna make it a success again. Yeah, I’m gonna try. I hope you found someone’s salad to replace me. I did. She’s conscientious, punctual. Trustworthy.

Sounds perfect.

I mean, her oatmeal, scot cheese, taste like hockey pucks, but we’re working on it. Well, what happened there? A friendly fire. Oh, uh, something like that. I’m actually headed home so that I can shower and change and make it back for the flower delivery tonight. Well, um, go look with everything tomorrow and please tell your mom how sorry I am.

I will. Thanks.

Well, I should be going, uh, nurse King. Before you do, could I ask you a favor? Uh, sure. Now, um, as you said, you may be the last person to talk to Abraham. Um, could you tell me his last words to you? Last words, my daughter Chanel. Told me he was confused. He didn’t even remember who I was. I, I was just wondering if you had the same experience.

Did you, you awake? How are you feeling?

Paulina? Excuse me. I know. I know who you are. You’re my wife.

He said. Your name. He did see, yeah. Y’all on some level, he, he must have remembered you.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. Your an angel. You have no idea what it means to me to hear that. Yes. Yes, of course. I, I, I better be going now off, off to work. Of course, of course, of course. And thank you. Thank you again for, for stopping by. Yes. Of

I hope your husband’s taking you somewhere special for your anniversary. Oh, it’s today. It is. Yeah. Happy anniversary. Thank you. But we agreed not to celebrate it until I am actually free. Oh,

what? What’s wrong? My boss just assigned me to a new case in Arizona. What she Explain your situation to him. I tried, but it turns out this case is tied to some other investigation that I’ve been working on for months. Oh, I can’t believe this. Baby, I’m sorry. I, hopefully it’s just for a day. I, I’m gonna do everything that I can to make sure that I’m back in time for his funeral.

But you, you know, I, I, I know you can’t make any promises, honey. No, I, I understand baby. You, you have a job to do, but I’m a supervised release. You agreed to look after me. Does this mean that I have to, I’ll take responsibility for you. Really? Yeah, of course. I’ll get on with corrections right away. Thank you Ray.

That’s the least I can do. When do you leave? They said that they’ll book me out on the latest possible flight, so at least we have some time to spend together tonight. Okay. Then we just have to make the most of the time that we have. Do you mind if we stop by Doug and Julie so I can say bye? Of course not.

Um, as long as we can make one other stop on the way.

Can I ask you something? Of course. I’m just wondering, since you were the last person to see my dad alive, how did he seem? What do you mean? Like did it seem like he was confused, upset? I’m not sure. Uh, I was pretty far away.

Well, did it look like he just tripped? Pretty much it, it, it all happened so fast. I, I don’t think he was in any pain. That’s what you were wondering. Yeah. You have that up. That’s good to know. Thanks. I wish I could tell you more. I, I wish I could have done more, but you, your dad seemed like a, a pretty special guy.

He was,

and I’m gonna miss him forever. Um, Theo, there’s something I need to tell you. We gotta get outta here. See what’s going on.

Abe, what are you doing? I’m leaving.

No, you’re not.

Oh, great. More cases. I’m sorry. I know, I know. You’re already swamped. Maybe if we had Eli and Lonnie back on the force, I’d be able to get through this stack. Not that I’m complaining. No, no, no, no. Complain away. I’m just saying. I mean, well, we have leash and in custody. Harris Michaels is under observation at the hospital, and then there’s Kristen and EJ Demere’s kidnapping situation, which is fishy to say the least.

Oh man. I just remember, oh no, you got one more assignment. Yeah. What now? Go home, watch some fireworks. Well, come on. No, that’s in order now. I am not saying you have to watch fireworks with me, but if you do happen to, wanna spend your well-deserved time off with yours, truly, you may, um, street location then.

Well, I do enjoy being. Discreet with you, Ms. Hernandez, you’re on.

Jerry, what is it, Theo? You’ve suffered such a terrible loss. And Theo, buddy Eli. Hi. Hi.

It’s a trying your dad, what are you guys doing here? I asked Eli to bring me here so I could see where the accident happened. I, I just, I didn’t know this would be here. So many people loved that.

Dear Jerry Apprentice. Yes. Jerry came because he felt bad about not being able to help dad when he fell into the river. But I, I told him that it’s not his fault that we don’t blame him. Thank you for saying that. Hey, why did you tell my husband you’re on that soap? Body and soul? Oh, it was a long time ago.

Mm-hmm. Well, if he’d known, he probably would’ve asked you for your autograph cuz he is secretly a fan of yours. Lonnie? No. Uh, well this is clearly a, uh, family moment, so I should just go, Jeremy, wait. Before Elia and Eli showed up, you said that you had something to tell me. What is it? Oh, I just wanted to say again how terrible I feel about your dad, and I want you to know how deeply saw her half.

Hey baby. Oh Mama. So how’s the reopening of Sweet Bits coming along? Who is coming? What are you doing on? Figured you’d be there all night getting ready? Yeah, I just came back to shower and change really quick and I’m gonna head back and, um, but. I just, I, I really hate leaving you alone again. I haven’t been alone.

Not for the whole time anyway. Oh, who came over? Oh, Whitley uh, um, nurse King came by to pay her respects really Abe’s nurse. Mm-hmm. She had so many wonderful things to say about him that was nice of her. Mm-hmm. He wasn’t her patient for long, but he really seemed to touch her life. You’ve been lying to me.

Oh, Abe, what are you talking about? Sat theo on Body and Soul, and he was playing Lorna DeLorean’s Bodyguard. And I watched the credits and they didn’t say Theo Carver, it was Jerry Prentice. You see?

Jerry Preis is his stage name, stage name. Apparently there was another actor named Theo Carver. He didn’t wanna be confused with him. Anyway, body, his soul was pretty much his last role, and he moved to South Africa and open up his own business.

I don’t believe you. I don’t believe any of it.

You’re leaving tonight, believe me. I wish I didn’t have to this anniversary. That sucks. I told you, Theo, we’re not celebrating our anniversary. Not until I’m free. Dad wouldn’t want you to wait. You’re playing the dad card. Really, Theo? He’s kind of right. Lonny. What are you saying, babe? I have hours before I need to be at the airport.

Plus we haven’t had a night together, and I don’t know how long. Well, we don’t have to make it about our anniversary. I, I just want to enjoy every moment that I have with you. He’s right. You should listen to him. I’m gonna head over to Pauls Chanel’s reopening her bakery tomorrow, and I’m sure that your mom could use the comfort.

Thank you. There may or may not be lasagna left in the fridge, so it’s not entirely altruistic. Yes. Soon. Easy.

What’s that?

This is my old pile. Bruno dad got him from me at a carnival when I was six. I used to not be able to sleep unless I was holding this thing. I squeeze. I’m sorry, this little, no, I was ripped off. You lived. Lived a tough life.

I think Dad probably thought I was gonna carry all my stuffed animals with me to high school. You’d be very proud if I was gonna leave this here, then

you. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I will be. I love you so much. I love you.

I knew I was gone, but

I don’t think I felt it until right now. I’m sorry, Lonnie. I’m so sorry.

Uh, so it sounds like you and Theo have big plans tonight. Where? Dinner, fireworks on tv. Maybe a game of Canasta. You can’t play Canasta with Theo. Why not? So guys a shark. He’ll take you for everything you’re worth. Okay, we’ll skip the canesta now. Tell me, uh, how’s the new employee at Sweet Bits working out?

She’s okay. Just okay. Well, she’s fine. She’s just not Talia. I, I ran into TA at the square and um, she wanted me to tell you how sorry she feels about Abe and she still feels so guilty. I’m deeply ashamed for her part in all of it. Well enough of that. What do you mean? I mean, Talia is a young woman who was under the spell of a, a very bad man.

So for obvious reasons, my heart goes out to her and I think she should let go of the guilt and the shame and. To focus on being stronger and wiser from now on, making a good life for herself. Oh, that’s, That’s very, uh, kind of you, I, I’ll tell her that if I ever see her again.

Hey, hey. What’s going on? Uh, I’ve been just here to give my parole officer my signed forms. You know, to show I’m doing my community service and my therapy, but I can’t seem to find her anywhere. I’ll take care of it for you. Oh, thanks. So how’s therapy going? Really well, Dr. Evans is the best. Well, I’m glad it’s working.

Yep. She even offered to help me find a job at the hospital when my probation ends. That’s amazing. Now you’ll finally get back to doing what you were trained to do. Yeah. What’s wrong?

And it’s just, I saw Chanel before and she told me she hired this new woman. Are you jealous? Jealous. No. For what? You miss working at the bakery? Yeah, actually I do a lot. I know Chanel never forgive me for what I did, and she shouldn’t, but I mean, GIA, I have to admit. What?

Every time I see her, I miss her too.

Oh, Abe, everything I’ve told you is the truth. No, no, it’s not. Something has felt wrong from the beginning. You know what? Maybe you should lay down, darling. I don’t want, I don’t want to lay down. I want you to tell me the truth right now. Or I’m gonna call the police.

Oh, there you go. Here you go. What did, what did Jesus do to me? Oh, it was just a mild sedative, darling, you drug me. Oh, you were, you were confused and upset. Oh, I can’t let you leave, darling. Not now. Not ever. You.

Toya. Hey, uh, sorry. I realized I never returned this. Oh, thanks. Yeah, I figured you need it. You know, from a replacement.

I am really grateful. To be here with you in this moment, but I miss my dad. I miss our beautiful babies. That reminds me Carver and Jules, they made this for you. I think we have a couple of artistic geniuses on our hands, um, for mommy. Ugh.

Carter did that. Yeah, I love it. Um, but I, I don’t have anything for you babe. You don’t need to get me anything for our anniversary. Just having you here with me. It’s the best gift I could ever receive. Just sucks that we don’t have more time together. I know, but we’ll be together soon enough. You’ll be free.

You’ll be a family again. Yeah, and I’ll never take that for granted again. My freedom, my beautiful family. Just having you guys close to me and not just in my heart. I love you. I love you too.

Thank you.

I was hoping you wouldn’t notice. What are you thinking about?

Last 4th of July, your father was sitting right there where you are now. We were watching. Tv. He was trying so hard to be so strong after Lani had just been sent to prison and you going back to South Africa.

We were watching the fireworks and I looked over

and there was this tear holding down his face.

See, isn’t this nice a perfect night, just the two of us.

Liam: I can’t do this anymore and um…

Hope: What?

Liam: I want a divorce.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Liam: I think my marriage is over.

[ Steffy sighing ]

Ridge: I’m sorry I was so late last night.

Brooke: No, it’s okay. I felt you come in. I know you’re there, even in my sleep.

Ridge: Really?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. In my sleep, in my dreams.

[ Brooke chuckling ]

Ridge: I was gonna make up for it this morning when I woke up, no logan.

Brooke: Well, I had to help hope take the kids to camp this morning. But I did kiss you on the cheek when I left.

Ridge: Yeah, that– that was a dream.

Brooke: Oh, you thought that? What about this?

Ridge: Hm. That’s better than a dream. Why did you have to help hope? What– what was it? Where’s liam? What’s going on?

Ridge: What’s going on? Is it the kids? Is there something…

Brooke: Uh, no– no, the kids are fine. It’s hope.

Ridge: It’s hope? She should be at the top of the world right now after what she and thomas pulled off in rome.

Brooke: Yeah. I’m just concerned about my daughter’s marriage with liam.

Ridge: Why?

Steffy: Hey.

Finn: You didn’t even hear me come into the room. What are you thinking about?

Steffy: I was thinking about you. How lucky I am to have you and the kids.

Finn: Hm. Okay. Now, I could buy that, but, uh, I think it’s more likely you were thinking about how hope kissed your brother.

Steffy: How could you do something like that?

[ Knocking on door ]

Rj: Hey.

Hope: Hi.

Rj: Is it okay if I come in? Is it a good time?

Hope: Yeah, of course. Come in. I just, I, um, it’s a bit of a mess. I haven’t really had a lot of time. I mean, I haven’t even unpacked yet, um…

Rj: Can I– can I help you at all?

Hope: No, no, no, no, it’s fine. I– I got it. Um, the kids have been dropped off at camp and uh, I’m gonna work from home today, so…

Rj: Hope, can I– can I help you with all this? Has he texted you or anything?

Hope: Um, no, but I’m– I’m good. I– I’ve got it managed. I’ll be fine.

Rj: You know, it’s okay if you’re not.

Hope: Rj, um… liam’s gone. He’s gone.

Rj: It’s okay. Come here.

Hope: No, it’s my fault.

Wyatt: Hey.

Liam: Hi.

Wyatt: You’re all ready?

Liam: Yeah, well, it doesn’t take long to get ready when it’s just me.

Wyatt: Right. Look, uh, I– I know you’re hurt and spending the night away made sense, but after you’ve had a little time to think it through… are you gonna go home to hope or not? Ffy: No, I think it’s better that thomas ridge: What?

Brook

Ridge: Hope and thomas kissing in rome. How does this happen?

Brooke: I don’t know. But she didn’t even know that liam was there until she got home.

Ridge: This whole time, I thought thomas was getting better. He was done with this obsession with hope, but no, he’s running around rome, kissing your daughter.

Brooke: Uh, it wasn’t thomas that kissed hope.

Ridge: What?

Brooke: Hope kissed him.

Finn: You sure you don’t want me to stay? I mean, I could push my rounds an hour.

Steffy: No, I think it’s better that thomas and i have this conversation brother to sister. He needs to know that his secret is no longer a secret anymore.

Finn: Hmph.

Thomas: Steff.

Steffy: Yeah.

Thomas: Hey. Oh, finn, are you on the way to the hospital?

Finn: I am. Congrats on the show, by the way. I heard it was a great success.

Thomas: Best time of my life.

Finn: Okay. Well, I gotta run but, um, hey, just call me if you need me.

Steffy: Yeah. Love you.

Finn: Love you. See ya.

Thomas: See ya. So your– your text seemed important. What’s up?

Steffy: I know what happened between you and hope in rome.

Rj: Hope, here you go.

Hope: Thank you. I mean, you really– you really shouldn’T. I mean, you don’t have to take care of me. And besides, it’s not like I deserve it.

Rj: Hey, look at me. Stop it, all right. Stop beating yourself up.

Hope: I think this might be over and it’s because of something that I did. And how– how could I do that with a man that he hates more than anyone? I mean, I– I kissed thomas.

Rj: Hope, look at me. It’s all gonna be okay.

Wyatt: You know hope loves you, right?

Liam: Do I know that? She didn’t look very in love with me when she was making out with thomas at the colosseum.

Wyatt: Okay. You– you feel betrayed? I– I get that, all right. You– you have every right to feel that way, especially after hope kisses thomas, of all freaking people. The guy who’s been wreaking havoc on your life for years now. It’s unthinkable. But liam, you– you’re married. You have a family, you got a daughter you gotta think about here. Are– are you willing to just throw all that away?

Liam: I’m not the one throwing it away.

Wyatt: I just want to know something. Are you not willing to fight for it? Are you not willing to go to hope and just try– just try to find some kind of forgiveness?

Living with diabetes?

Ridge: So hope started this, not thomas? And liam saw them?

Brooke: Yes, it’s terrible.

Ridge: How does this happen?

Brooke: I don’t know. I guess she got swept up in the moment. You know, that feeling of success and excitement over the preview for hope for the future.

Ridge: I would love to say that this has never happened to anybody else, but it has, to us. We’ve had moments like this–

Brooke: Right. I guess it’s hard for somebody to understand unless they’ve gone through it, you know, feeling that euphoria.

Ridge: But knowing how liam feels about thomas…

Brooke: I’m sure he feels very betrayed. He left. He walked out on hope.

Thomas: Rome was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I mean, the– the preview, the press conference, hope and I rocked it.

Steffy: I– I guess I’m more interested in, you know, what you did after the press conference.

Thomas: I guess all the– the normal stuff. Exploring around, you know, when in rome…

Steffy: Did you swing by the colosseum?

Rj: Hope, liam might have left, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get through this.

Hope: Yeah, but thomas has been the worst for us so many times. I mean, I don’t understand why I did it. I don’t know if it’s because I got caught up in rome and the showing and the celebrating, but it wasn’t real. I mean, that was just A… that’s a fantasy. I– I just, I feel like maybe I have just… trapped myself with all of these expectations and standards and it’s almost like I’ve built this gilded cage for myself of righteousness and control. And sometimes I catch myself wondering what it might feel like to just break free and just stop caring so much about what other people think and how other people feel. And I guess I am just figuring that out right now. And liam is never going to forgive me for this, by the way. He’s not– he’s not because I betrayed him with a man who has done horrible things to our family. I mean, what is wrong with me? How can I fix this?

Rj: You made one mistake. One. That’s it, okay? Once liam realizes that, he’s gonna walk through that door, right? And then it’s gonna be okay.

Wyatt: I’m on your side, you know that, right? Like 100%.

Liam: No, I do. I do know that. Thank you.

Wyatt: Okay. So as someone who loves you and cares about you and looking out for your family… I mean, you know, nothing’s ever going to get solved if you don’t talk about it, right? So go to hope, give her a chance to explain this a little better and– and keep an open mind, you know, just… let her try to fix it.

Brooke: Oh…

Ridge: Hey, hope and liam, they’re gonna find their way back to each other.

Brooke: Yeah, well, it just can’t tear their family apart. Hope really regrets what she’s done. She wishes she could take it all back. She wishes it didn’t happen at all, but it did. She made a mistake. I mean, god knows we’ve made a few.

Ridge: We have. We’ll be here if they need us. Look, the two of them, they love each other. And love, I don’t know, has a way of making people find their way back to each other.

Brooke: Yeah.

Ridge: Yeah.

Brooke: Yeah.

Thomas: Uh, well, no trip to rome would be complete without seeing the colosseum.

Steffy: Mm-hmm. So much history. Tragedy too.

Thomas: Yeah.

Steffy: You know, thomas, when I saw your designs, I was absolutely floored. You did such an amazing job, but it was also a reflection of you.

Thomas: Well, I mean, no, I mean, it was– it was hope’s vision. I just executed it.

Steffy: Yeah, but without you, hope’s vision would be just an idea. Not a reality. She needs you.

Thomas: Okay. Steff, where’s all this coming from?

Steffy: I know what happened, thomas. You worked so hard to do right by her. You have turned your life around and that didn’t matter to hope. No, it didn’T. I know she kissed you.

Hope: I, um, I didn’t know if you would come home. I’ve been texting you and calling you and… well, the kids are already at camp. They missed you this morning. Don’t worry, I covered, I said you had an early morning meeting.

Liam: I– I spent the night at my dad’S.

Hope: Okay. Well… right, well, um, obviously I have had a lot of time to think about everything. About how I could act so recklessly. When I think about it– it’s almost like I don’t even recognize myself. I don’t know who that person is and that’s– that’s not an excuse. I’m not making any excuses. You deserve so much more than that. But… there’s’s a little bit of a problem now because I’m not sure you’re even going to believe anything I say. I just can only hope and pray that you will hear me. Liam, I love you and I love our family and the life that we share together is precious to me and I will do everything I can to try to earn back your trust. I will. I’m just begging for a chance to do that. And I know I hurt you and I’m so sorry and I can see the pain in your eyes. And I hate more than anything that I am the person that put that there. I never, ever wanted you to look at me like that.

Liam: Never thought I could.

Hope: But that can change. Liam, that can change. And I know that because we– we still love each other. I know you love me and I am so sorry that I betrayed you with thomas, of all people. I am just asking you to please allow me a chance to repair the damage that I have done. Our family is worth fighting for. We can get through anything together. And I have to believe that– that a part of you knows that, liam. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. Liam, you’re here now. You showed up. That’s what matters. Please, please let me fix this. Please. Can you say that you can forgive me? I love you.

Devon: Look at you. You’re really considering this move to the chancellor mansion, aren’t you?

Abby: Uh, you caught me. I have been giving it some serious thought. I mean, there’s a lot to consider, but honestly, I don’t think that it’s my choice to make. Leaving here would mean more to you than it would to me.

Audra: Thank you so much. No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. That really was the head of crawford pictures. I just signed an exclusive deal with them for newman media.

Lily: Really?

Audra: It’s all right. You can say it. It’s okay to be impressed.

Lily: Oh, no. [ Laughing ] No, no, I’m not impressed. I’m just surprised that nate would hand off such an important deal for you to seal. I mean, he was so desperate to be in charge.

Audra: I guess you haven’t heard the good news yet. I’m running newman media now.

Kyle: Hey, dad. You wanted to see me?

Jack: Hey, come on in.

Kyle: I’ve got the latest figures on marchetti. I think you’ll be pleased with how things are going, although we may need to look at the–

Jack: I’m up to speed on the marchetti numbers. That’s not why I wanted to meet with you.

Kyle: Okay. What’s up?

Jack: I would like to discuss how we move forward from here.

Kyle: Move forward? Is there a problem I should know about?

Jack: There might be, given where things stand in your relationship with summer.

Kyle: Oh, dad, you don’t have to worry about that. Summer and i will be professional. We will find a way to manage our new normal, we will figure out how to work without conflict or acrimony if that’s what you’re concerned about.

Jack: I have my doubts. I’m not sure it’s possible or productive.

Kyle: So what are you saying?

Jack: One of you is gonna have to step away from your position at marchetti.

Kyle: The new marchetti is our creation. We reinvented that company together. Summer’s lost so much. I mean, asking her to resign after she’s been put through everything? It doesn’t seem fair. This’ll be hard on her.

Jack: I’m sorry, kyle. Summer is not the one who needs to resign.

Diane: Summer. Look, I am so sorry about what’s going on between you and kyle. I– I hate seeing the two of you torn up like this. But I just– I just hope you know that if you want or need anyone to talk to, that I’m– I’m here for you.

Summer: You know what, diane? Just stop. I– I don’t want to hear your support or your concern. You know, you were absolutely no help in getting kyle to forgive me, so thanks for nothing.

[ Diane scoffing ] Ughh!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… dominic’s baby talk,

Devon: All right, well, you know that I’m definitely not going to be making this decision on my own because we both have to have an equal say, and we have to be on the same page for a move like this.

Abby: Well, I mean, honestly I would be happy living anywhere as long as we’re together. But if I could translate dominic’s baby talk, I think he feels more at home at the chancellor estate.

Devon: Yeah? You don’t think he feels at home here?

Abby: Don’t get me wrong, he loves it here, but that’s where he spent most of his early life.

Devon: I know. I know. That’s– he probably does feel the difference.

Abby: I mean, as soon as we pull into the chancellor house, I mean, he gets the biggest smile on his face.

Devon: Yeah, I bet he does. It’s a nice place. It’s huge. He has a park for a backyard.

Abby: Yes. I mean, and I think he connects this place with spending time with you, which he obviously loves. I mean, as soon as we get off the elevator, he starts saying, “daddy!”

Devon: Well, he would definitely have more space in the mansion and a lot more rooms to explore. We could take one and turn it into a whole toy store for him. He’d probably love that.

Abby: Yeah, what kid wouldn’t?

Devon: Yeah.

Abby: But how are you feeling about this move? What’s your heart telling you?

Devon: Uh, honestly, I just keep thinking about what chance said about katherine because, well, that mansion was her pride and joy, and she’d hate for it to be sitting empty.

Abby: Yeah, no, I heard she would want the whole place to be filled with life and laughter.

Devon: Exactly. And it seems like chance is gonna do whatever he’s gonna do, regardless of if we move or not, so I don’t know. It just feels like another part of katherine’s legacy that I could keep alive. And I know that she would love the fact that her great-grandson is growing up in a house that meant so much to her.

Abby: Then, I think we have our answer.

Devon: You think so?

Abby: Mm-hmm.

Devon: I think we do, too.

Lily: Well, I mean, I knew you were a shark, but I didn’t think that you would turn your back on nate so quickly. I mean, especially after he took such a huge risk hiring you. So, how did you pull it off this time?

Audra: Well, this wasn’t some kind of backstabbing move. I scored the promotion completely on my own merit.

[ Lily scoffing ]

Lily: I find that really hard to believe.

Audra: Of course you think the worst of me.

Lily: Oh, nate, hello. Perfect timing. I just heard about how your coo has sunk her fangs into your job. That’s what you get when you swim with sharks, so.

Nate: I’m not sure you have the whole story here.

Audra: Yeah, she didn’t even give me a chance to explain. She couldn’t wait to go on the attack.

Nate: Lily, uh, I’m temporarily filling in for nick as coo of the parent company. And audra here is keeping things running at newman media for me.

Lily: Oh, that makes sense. You’re a place filler. I got it. Yeah.

Audra: No. I’m much more than a place filler, as evidence by the deal I just negotiated.

Nate: So? Meeting went well?

Audra: I’d say it’s pretty much in the bag.

Nate: Congratulations, that is quite the score. You’ll have to fill me in on the details.

Audra: Oh, definitely.

Lily: Audra, would you mind giving us a minute to chat?

Audra: Of course. I’ve got quite a few phone calls to make about my huge news. Oh, and lily, I don’t think I ever got to thank you.

Lily: For what?

Audra: For firing me from chancellor-winters. If you and devon had never let me go, I would have never gotten this incredible opportunity. Now, I’m flying high at newman media. And I’m not usually one to brag, but I feel like I’m finally at the top of my game.

[ Lily chuckling ]

Lily: Oh, my gosh. Okay, wow. Anyway, um, I haven’t seen you since the tribute to my dad. How are you doing?

Nate: Thank you for asking. I have to say, things– things are great.

Lily: Good. I’m glad to hear that. I was worried about you after I heard about your breakup with elena. It didn’t have to do with audra, did it?

Nate: No, no, not at all. Um, actually, victoria and I have started seeing each other.

Lily: I’m sorry. [ Laughing ] Wow. Really? Wow. [ Laughing ] You are swimming with all the sharks, aren’t you?

[ Lily chuckling ] I mean, I was gonna tell you to be careful of audra and victoria, but you really are managing the waters just fine, aren’t you?

Diane: Look, I know you’re upset right now. Ho– how can you not be after everything that has happened. Stop! Summer, I just want you to know that I’m sorry.

Summer: Diane, you’re the reason that my mom is gone and my marriage is crumbling. Honestly, I– I’m just grateful that I don’t have to walk around on eggshells with you anymore.

Diane: What? Why can’t you see that I’m trying to help you to understand why you’re acting like this?

Summer: You’re trying to help? When I asked you for help with my marriage, it was a test. And you failed it. Miserably. So, I– I’m gonna handle things on my own from here on out. And you know what? My mom was right. You do destroy everything that you touch.

Kyle: You’re suggesting that I should be the one to resign?

Jack: Yes, I think summer should be the one to stay on marchetti.

Kyle: Okay, based on what? Did summer put you up to this?

Jack: No. Absolutely not. Summer would never do that. Look, I discussed this with her, this is a business discussion. Yes, it is personal as well.

Kyle: So, personally you would rather I be the one to go?

Jack: Kyle, I have to look at the whole picture. Summer’s life is in chaos. She thinks she’s losing everything. Marchetti should be the one thing that she can count on.

Kyle: Oh, dad, she should have been able to count on me, but instead she chose to lie and keep secrets.

Jack: Kyle, you are my son, and I love you, and the last thing I want is for you to leave your grandfather’s company.

Kyle: Yeah, but you want me to resign from marchetti.

Jack: From marchetti, yes. Not from jabot. There are plenty of jobs in other divisions here you could walk into seamlessly. We’ll figure it out.

Kyle: Billy occupies my old ceo seat, dad, so what’s left?

Jack: There are probably plenty of options, kyle. I said we’ll figure it out. I’m sorry, I really am, but if you are determined to separate from summer, it makes sense, business sense, to separate at work as well.

Kyle: I see. But I have to wonder if there isn’t more to this.

Jack: What more could there be?

Kyle: Is this your subtle way of trying to get summer and me to stay together?

Audra: I see your cousin left. Did she, uh, lecture you again on corporate morality?

[ Nate chuckling ]

Nate: Why would you say that?

Audra: Seems like that’s what she does. She’s judgmental, that one. She took her own brother to court over the family company.

Nate: Ah, don’t be so hard on her. Lily’s a good person with a good heart. We had a chance to reconnect a little at neil’s jazz lounge dedication and I am– I am relieved about that. The last thing I want is for our relationship to backslide now that things are, thankfully, on the right path.

Audra: Listen, I have nothing against you rebonding with your family. Look, in fact, I’m all for it. Just please don’t let lily’s selective conscience influence important business decisions.

Nate: I’m not worried about lily or any undue influence you think she might have on me.

Audra: Your cousin may want to be on your side, but you still betrayed her company. And now, here you are succeeding without it. That’s probably something she won’t forget anytime soon.

Lily: I am so glad you called me over because I have some news for you.

Devon: Really?

Lily: Yes.

Devon: What is it?

Lily: Nate is involved romantically with victoria. [ Laughing ]

Devon: Yeah.

Lily: Did you know?

Devon: Yeah. I did know ’cause elena told me about it not too long ago and I didn’t wanna go and gossip about nate cheating on her.

Lily: Oh, I didn’t know he cheated. He left that part of the story out.

Devon: I bet he did.

Lily: Okay, well did you know this? That nate and audra have temporary positions at newman? Nate’s filling in for nick as coo, and audra’s filling in for nate as ceo at newman media. So, no such thing as karma, I guess.

Devon: Wow, yeah, no, I guess not.

Lily: You know, I really felt like after the tribute to dad that maybe nate and i could work things out. I just keep wanting to believe he’s this good person, but he just keeps proving me wrong over and over.

Devon: He hasn’t been a good person for a while now. But despite that, how would you feel about being his neighbor?

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Hi.

Chance: Said you wanted to talk? Did you guys make a decision about the move?

Abby: I just– I want to make sure that you’re definitely okay with this move.

Chance: Well, I wouldn’t have made the offer otherwise.

Abby: Because it’s kind of a big life change and I don’t want you to have any regrets.

Chance: I know what I’m doing. I know what I want, okay?

Abby: Okay. Because, you know, it’s just the two of us. I mean, you can tell me how you’re feeling. You can be open.

Chance: Abby, trust me, I’m not holding anything back. Why would I do that?

Abby: Just because we’re not together anymore doesn’t mean I don’t care about you. So, if you wanna tell me how you’re feeling, you can. I’m here to listen.

Jack: Kyle, there is no manipulation here. There is no ulterior motive. This is not part of a plan to get you to stay with summer. Regardless how I feel about that, I would never force you to do something against your will.

Kyle: Then why would you choose her over your own son?

Jack: That is not what I am doing. Kyle, I love you both. Let me be very clear about this. No one is getting fired, I am in no way suggesting that you leave jabot. There are great jobs here that you could thrive in.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. It feels like I’d be going backward.

Jack: It is not feasible for you to continue working as a team. Your jobs require that you work in sync, you would be doing damage to a company you’ve worked very hard to build. And think about it, kyle, working day in, day out next to summer? That would hurt you both, you can see that, right?

Kyle: No, I can’T. Summer and i are perfectly capable of handling our jobs and keeping our personal life out of it.

Jack: You say that now, but try to imagine how awkward a workplace you would be creating for yourself and everyone else. Kyle, if you are determined to separate from summer, separate. No one can stop you from that. But if you continue to try so hard to work with summer closely, maybe that should tell you something. Kyle, we need to resolve this. I’m gonna need your answer soon.

Kyle: I will get back to you.

[ Jack sighing ]

Chance: Thank you. Look, abby, I appreciate your concern. And, yes, this move is something that I need to do for me, but it’s– it’s mostly for dominic.

Abby: I know how badly I hurt you and I will always regret that.

Chance: We grew apart, all right? And I’m coming to terms with that now.

Abby: I know, but if I had–

Chance: Hey. Why don’t we put all that behind us and at least try to be friends again for dominic’s sake?

Abby: I would like that.

Chance: Good. I’m in a good place right now. Really. Looking forward, I’m trying to make better decisions for my future and I’d like to start with the house.

Abby: So, you’re really okay with moving out of the mansion?

Chance: Yeah, I don’t need that place. It’s too quiet, it feels like a mausoleum. It needs to be filled with laughter. It needs dominic running around all the time, not just when he visits.

Abby: Okay, well, it sounds like you’ve made up your mind then.

Chance: Already found a place. I’ll be out by the end of the week.

Abby: Wow. [ Laughing ] Okay then.

Chance: Tell me if I’m wrong, but I feel like this is the right move here. I mean, dominic’s still gonna have all three of his parents. I’m gonna see him just as much as I do now. You know, occasionally he can stay at my house, but he’s not gonna be bouncing back and forth all the time now.

Abby: Well, I think it’s official.

Devon: So, I invited you over here for an important reason and that is to offer you this penthouse. I thought you might be interested in moving in.

Lily: Uh, what do you– what? Where would you and abby and dominic live?

Devon: So, chance came by and offered us the opportunity to move into the chancellor mansion.

Lily: Wow.

Devon: And I know it seems a little odd given how everything went down between us, but we both think that it’s the right move for everyone.

Lily: And how so?

Devon: Well, ’cause chance is single, so he doesn’t need all that space to himself. And as for dominic, that’s where he feels the most comfortable living.

Lily: That’s great. You guys are being very mature about this.

Devon: Yeah. It is easy once we agree to put dominic first. But would you be interested in moving in here?

Lily: I mean… [ Laughing ] …This has definitely caught me off guard, but, I mean, I– I love this place, I’ve always thought it’s beautiful and it’s, you know, the last place…

Devon: Neil was alive.

Lily: Yeah, which, you know, I like the idea of his presence being here, that’s very comforting. So I do love that.

Devon: It was almost the thing that kept me from even considering moving out, but then I thought of you. I thought you’d be perfect to be in here. And I imagine you could get a good deal on the place since I know the owner of the building. So, come on. How about we, uh, we keep this place in the family?

[ Summer sighing ]

Kyle: You know how much I love you. I would follow you anywhere in the world. Even right across the room because you are the center of my universe. You and harrison. How long have I known you?

Summer: Mm, close to forever.

Kyle: And in all that time, you’ve been a million things to me. My rock, my advisor, best friend, partner.

Summer: Tormentor.

[ Both laughing ]

Kyle: My love. We’ve been through challenges together and everyone keeps talking about how young we are, but all I can think about is summer and I, we have lived a lifetime together. And you’ve watched me go down paths that have led me away from you, only to find that I’ve always followed the path that brought me right back home.

Summer: It has been the wildest ride of my life, kyle.

Kyle: But you didn’t sign up for this, raising a child that you didn’t give birth to.

Summer: Harrison is my son, biological or not.

Kyle: I know. And that’s what I love most about you. The way you open up your heart just to let people in. And I thank whatever higher power that put me in your sights. I know we’ve had our obstacles.

Summer: You. It was definitely mostly you.

Kyle: But you never gave up. We’re the best part of each other’s stories and every time I turn the page, you’re doing something else that blows my mind or makes me know we made the right choice when we chose each other. I would choose you every day.

Summer: Even over ice cream?

Kyle: Yes, even over my beloved mocha fudge. Now, just please, just let me finish, okay?

[ Summer laughing ] You are what makes me want to find out what comes next. I know it hasn’t been easy and there will be more difficulties, there always will be. I am so lucky I get to face them with you.

Summer: Well, stick around ’cause this next chapter, it is out of this world.

Kyle: Good. I like our story. I love our family.

Summer: We are the best, right? [ Giggling ]

Kyle: Like I said, I would follow you anywhere in the world, so will you do the same for me?

Summer: Of course, but where are we going?

Kyle: Back down the aisle. Summer newman abbott… will you make me the happiest man in genoa city? Will you marry me again?

Summer: You’re home. Did diane call you?

Kyle: Is there a reason she should have?

Summer: It doesn’t matter anyway.

Kyle: What happened now? Did you and my mom get into–

Summer: It’s not everything, but it’s enough to move out with. Just what you want, right?

Kyle: I guess. I just– I didn’t expect you’d be ready to go so quickly.

Summer: What would be the point in waiting?

Kyle: Um… I talked to my dad about marchetti. He thinks I should leave the company and let you run it. I fought at first, but now I realize how right he is. We shouldn’t inflict our problems on other people. Marchetti’s yours. You shouldn’t have to lose any more.

Summer: I guess there’s just one thing left to do. Hardest part of all. [ Sighs ] Harrison, could you come down here for a minute? Ughh! With cirkul, your water is deliciously flavored at the turn of a dial, with zero sugar and zero calories. And cirkul has over 40 flavors, so your water can be as unique as you are. Try cirkul at drinkcirkul.Com okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue

what can you do

with sensitive skin?

Summer: Hi, sweetie, were you playing upstairs? Here, come sit with me.

Kyle: Sorry to interrupt all the fun, buddy, but mommy and daddy need to talk to you about something for a minute.

Harrison: Okay.

Summer: You know how much we love you, don’t you?

Kyle: And I hope you know that will never change. However, there is going to be a little shift around here. We want to be sure that you understand.

Summer: I’m gonna be moving out for a little while. But other than that, nothing much is gonna be different.

Kyle: Nope. Not at all. We’ll still be doing all the fun things we always do.

Summer: Yeah, and I’m still gonna see you every single day. I’m gonna read to you and play with you and– you can come and visit me anytime you like.

Kyle: Trust us. You will never miss out on a single drop of our love. Just like always. Okay, buddy?

Summer: In fact, you know what? We’re gonna have even more fun than ever.

Kyle: And I hope you know you can always count on us to be there for you. 100%.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: I love you, harrison. Come here.

Audra: Check us out. We’re on a real roll here. On track to getting everything we’ve been working towards. To us.

Nate: I can’t believe how effortlessly everything kind of just has fallen into place.

Audra: You know, I mean, what nick went through was terrible. I don’t wish that on anyone.

Nate: He didn’t think he needed the time off. He hasn’t gone back to the office since victoria insisted.

Audra: Hmm.

Nate: She really didn’t leave him a choice.

Audra: Do you know when he’s planning to return?

Nate: No. I haven’t heard a word about it. Who knows? Maybe he’ll decide to give up on the corporate life again. You know, buy another bar or refocus on his charity work.

Audra: That will leave the coo position wide open for you to step right in. Permanently.

Nate: I wouldn’t turn it down, that’s for sure.

Audra: Things are still going well with you and victoria personally, I hope?

Nate: Could be better. Speaking of which, in light of our new positions, we should probably head back to the office.

Audra: Oh, you go ahead. I– I have something to take care of. A little side project I’m working on.

Nate: Anything victoria and i should know about?

Audra: Not yet, but stand by. It may prove very rewarding.

Abby: Lily, hey!

Lily: Hey!

Abby: I’m so happy that you’re here. I have some good news to share.

Devon: Do you? What is it?

Abby: Well, it’s on the chance front. We can move into the chancellor mansion by the end of the week.

Lily: Wow, congratulations.

Devon: Sheesh. That’s very fast, a week.

Abby: Yeah, I guess chance found another place to live.

Devon: He wasn’t messing around, was he?

Abby: No, um, how’s everything going here?

Devon: I don’t know yet ’cause lily hasn’t given me an answer yet.

Abby: Well, I’m sure you don’t have to sell lily on how amazing this place is. Not to mention it is super close to the chancellor-winters headquarters.

Devon: That’s right.

Lily: That’s true. Oh, I mean…

Devon: Come on.

[ All laughing ]

Lily: You know what? I’m in. It’s fine. I’m in.

Abby: Yay!

Lily: I’m in. Yeah, why not?

Devon: Congratulations!

Lily: Why not? [ Laughing ]

Devon: All we gotta do is pack now.

Lily: Yeah.

Devon: Aw.

Lily: Wow.

Kyle: Well, that went better than expected.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: Breaks my heart. He’s been through so many sudden, drastic changes in his life. He’s adjusted so well in spite of it all.

Kyle: Well, that’s because of you.

Summer: You too. We made a pretty great team.

Kyle: We always will when it comes to our son.

Summer: The hardest part is gonna come later when he calls out for me and I’m not here.

Kyle: That’s when we will just pick up the phone, then. Okay? I promise to let harrison call you as often and anytime as he wants. And you should feel free to come by and call whenever you like.

Summer: It’s not gonna be the same. Not for me or harrison. Okay. I guess I’m gonna get going.

Kyle: Here, let me help you with your bags.

Summer: No. It’s okay. I got it.

Your heart

is the beat of life.

Diane: It wasn’t pretty, jack. I cannot believe what summer said to me.

Jack: I am so sorry you had to deal with that.

Diane: Well, I’m trying not to blame her for being so upset. You know, she just needed to lash out at someone and there I was, the easiest target.

Jack: Well, that’s very generous of you, but she has no right treating you that way. You are not to blame for their problems. I had my own run-in with kyle earlier.

Diane: Well, I can imagine he’s as upset about their breakup as she is.

Jack: Well, it wasn’t about that directly. It was about marchetti.

[ Door creaks open ]

Diane: Kyle. Are you okay? What’s– what’s wrong?

Kyle: We told harrison about the separation. It went as well as could be expected.

Jack: That couldn’t have been easy.

Kyle: Summer also moved out of the house and… I told her I will be resigning from my position at marchetti.

Jack: I’m sure that was difficult to decide. More difficult to tell summer, but, kyle, I promise you, this new job is gonna be more than rewarding.

Kyle: Thanks, dad. I don’t think so.

Jack: Wait, what does that mean?

Kyle: I appreciate you offering a spot for me to stay at jabot, but I’m afraid I have to respectfully decline. I hope you’ll understand, but I need some space to figure out what’s next.

Jack: What’s next without jabot?

Abby: I have to schedule the movers, I have to get extra keys for the chancellor house, I have to notify the post office. I have to have dominic’s penthouse furniture put in storage or I could give it to charity.

[ Abby sighing ] Are you okay? Is all of this moving too fast?

Devon: What?

Abby: It’s just, we can slow it down. I mean, there’s no rush at all.

Devon: Nah, no need to slow anything down. I appreciate you being concerned. I’m fine.

Abby: Are you sure? ‘Cause I saw you drifting over here. I mean, it’s okay if you’re having second thoughts about moving.

Devon: Nah, it’s not any second thoughts, it’s– it’s just– it’s gonna be a little tougher to leave this place than I thought, you know? This is where I– I did all my real growing up. This is where I figured out who I am and what I wanted out of life. After all that time I spent at the gcac, this was the first place where I really felt like I could settle down.

Abby: Hmm. It’s not too late to change our minds.

Devon: No. We’re not gonna change our minds. It’s time to move on. And it’s time for us to start our life together.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Right?

Abby: Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Devon: It’s gonna be great.

[ Abby chuckling ]

Chance: Hey.

Summer: Hey.

Chance: Tell me this isn’t what it looks like.

Summer: Actually, it’s exactly what it looks like. Kyle asked me to move out.

Kyle: Got your text, but I’m surprised you wanted to meet here.

Audra: Well, I had a banner day as newman media’s newly minted interim ceo and I was busy getting settled in and meeting with department heads, but I had time for a short break and you seemed so eager, so, um, I thought I could spare you a few brief minutes of my very, very valuable time. Uh, how was your day?

Kyle: Um… summer moved out. She and I are separated. Want your clothes to smell freshly

Diane: It’s tough to see kyle hurting like this.

Jack: He’s at a crossroads in his life emotionally and professionally. Would he really walk away from jabot? And his family?

Diane: It’s just all so fresh right now. Kyle just needs to take a breath, take a step back and maybe even get away for a little while. And then he can return to his family’s business and find his place here. He knows that this is where he needs to be.

Jack: I don’t know. I’d sure like to believe that. I do know one thing. That house is gonna be a whole lot sadder without summer there.

Chance: Summer, I’m truly sorry. Unfortunately I’ve been through this, so I know it’s tough.

Summer: Yeah, it is.

Chance: Well, if you need someone to talk to, I’m here. Don’t be afraid to reach out.

Summer: Thanks. I think I just need to get settled into my new home and try to let all of this blow over. Then I can focus on getting my marriage back on track.

Audra: Sorry to hear that. I can imagine ending a marriage isn’t easy.

[ Kyle sighing ] I– I hope it didn’t have to do with, you know, with what happened with us last night.

Kyle: No. Trust me. My problems with summer started way before you and I slept together.

Audra: Well, I– I don’t mean to pry, but that’s a relief. I would hate to think that I, you know, made things worse for you.

Kyle: No, you don’t need to worry about that. Things were already bad, I just… I have a lot to figure out right now.

Audra: Don’t tell me there’s more?

Kyle: As if the separation wasn’t enough, I’m out of a job. Apparently, summer got to keep custody of the workplace.

Audra: I’m surprised. Uh, I would think that if anyone had to go, it’d be her, right? Jabot is your family’s company.

Kyle: Right.

Audra: Hmm. Well, I– I’m curious, what’re you gonna do next?

[ Kyle chuckling]

Kyle: I haven’t gotten that far. That’s much of what I have to figure out.

Audra: Interesting.

Kyle: Hmm.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Mama, look how beautiful mama.

Oh, just, just put, put a bit all the, okay.

All right. And here is the note.

You can read it.

Okay. Dear Paulina and Chanel, we are very sorry for your unimaginable loss. You are in our thoughts and we are here for you. Whatever you need, always love John and Marlin.

Such good friends. I’ve loved Abe so much. I’m sure they must be grieving too. Um, I should send them something.

No, mama. Right now you just need to take care of yourself. Okay.

Come on buddy. You gotta be out here somewhere.

Is that you buddy?

Hello, John.

I knew that I’d find you. Oh, I gotta tell Paulina. I’m sorry, John. I can’t stay. What do you mean you can’t stay? Goodbye old friend.

No, no, no. Don’t believe. Don’t go Abraham. Abraham. Don’t go.

What are you doing with that paper?

Did you, did you see the paper? They’re saying that my dad is dead. The, they’re saying that Commissioner Hernandez thinks so too. All the people that I need and love, I I just keep losing them. You haven’t lost me, Theo. I’m right here. Hi.

Like Sam through the hour class. So are the of

So does this mean No, I, I haven’t been released from prison, but Eli convinced the warden to grant me a furlough for dad’s funeral. I just have to wear this, honey. Thank God you’re here. I love you. I’m so grateful I could be here. I’m just, I’m so sorry, Theo. I wasn’t here when dad first went missing, and I wish we could have waited together or maybe I could have helped find him.

No, babe, we went over this. There’s nothing that you could have done that Steve, John, or Raf didn’t try. Helis, right? Everybody was looking for him, and even though he’s the most well-known man in Salem, nobody saw him on a single soul. I just, I don’t get it money. I don’t get it either. Hey, but we have to be strong for each other.

Okay. And we have to take care of each other. Okay. Because that is what dad would’ve wanted. Okay. I love you.

You didn’t even come to bed last night. Well, I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep,

just be going over this stuff again. I still can’t believe Abe just walked off the docks, fell in the water, and drowned even though all the evidence points to that evidence can be fabricated. Is that what you think happened? It’s just too easy. Sweetness. It’s too pat.

Oh, thank you. You woke up drenched in sweat, calling out Abe’s name. Yeah. They’re one of those damn nightmares.

Do you wanna talk about it?

Yeah.

I was down at the docks and I found. And we, we were, we were face to face. I was talking to him and before I could call Paulina to tell him that he was okay, he was gone. And I, I couldn’t stop cock. I tried it. I, uh, I couldn’t stop on my eye.

No wonder the dream was so upsetting for you. Paulina trusted that Steve and I were gonna find him, and I let her down.

Let him down.

So, did you hear me? What are you doing with that paper? I was, I was getting rid of it before you woke up. Why? Because I didn’t want you to get upset. Why am upset now? I don’t like being handled. Okay. I’ll tell you something terrible happened down at the docks. A local man who had gone missing was found in the water.

He drown? Yes. Yes. Well, at least now his poor family can have closure for weeks. They had been looking for him. Well, I, I feel sorry for them. And for him, but I’m not falling apart. And now I’d like to read that story for myself.

Lasagna from the bistro, from Maggie and Victor, Kiki. How nice we can have it for dinner with the green beans that Julie brought over.

What, just, uh, don’t you think it’s maybe time for you to take a shower and get dressed? Not yet, darling. Not right now. Right now I getting dressed reminds me of just wanting to look my best for my sweet husband, and without him here I. No, I just, I just need to sit here right now. Come, come sit with me.

Sit with me.

No. Excuse me. I’m sorry, Abe. I’m putting my foot down. The details are just too upsetting and the doctor said that we have to keep your stress levels low, you know, to a minimum, so we avoid another seizure. I feel fine. Well, you felt fine before the last one, didn’t you? You know, you’re not the only one going through this.

You know, I’m, I’m, I’m scared. I’m scared all the time.

I, I’m sorry. I, I, I wasn’t thinking, I, I, I know this is, this isn’t easy for you. I, I just can’t lose you. Okay. I get it. I get it. I’m, I’m sorry. Then, then I have to go to work and I have to leave you at home alone. Look, I feel, I feel fine. You, you don’t have to worry about me. Okay. Well, I, I better go and get ready now.

Get ready to go to work.

And believe me, darling, I’m doing this for you. This is what’s best for you.

You are being too hard on yourself. You and Steve did everything you could to find a, obviously we didn’t do enough. Right?

You know what the worst part is?

We gave Pauline hope. We told her, it just doesn’t make any sense how he could have got from wherever he was all the way down to the dock without somebody recognizing him and calling the cops. Don’t you believe that? I still believe that. I don’t know how he could have done it or why he fell in the water, but then you got the hospital bracelet.

His name’s on it. The blood. Most important. You have an eyewitness, the only person who saw him these last two weeks. Finally, somebody sees Abe. And what happens the next minute he falls off the dock and drowns in the river.

So you, you got to see Joseph Carter? I did. Uh, I cannot tell you how wonderful it was just to hold my babies and my arms without a prison matron. Just watching me like a hawk. Yeah. They’re with my mom now. We do wish we could have brought them, but obviously they’re, they’re too young to deal with all this.

Right. But we, we know how much they left their grandpa. Yeah. And we did tell them what happened, but they didn’t seem to understand, which is a, a good thing for now.

They seem to be starting fireworks early.

Oh my God. 4th of July. It’s, it’s your anniversary.

What’s wrong? Are you guys fighting? No. No. Theo No we’re not. You’ve given everything that’s been thrown at us this year. I think, uh, we’re doing pretty damn well. So why did you both seem so we’re gonna say it was your anniversary cause we decided that we’re not gonna celebrate this year. Because of Dad Lonnie.

That is the reason why you should celebrate, you know how happy he was about you and Eli, how, how he love that you two got married and how he was over the moon when the babies were born. I know, I know Theo, but to have champagne and a fancy dinner without him there, I can’t do it. I’m sorry. I can’t do it.

I’m sorry, Lonnie, I didn’t mean to upset you. Come here. Yeah. I think we better our head over to Pauline is You wanna come with us? No, I’ll, um, I’ll come over later. I think she’s gonna wanna spend some time alone with you. Yeah. And there’s something I have to do. What do you mean to Pat? Well, first of all, do you really think Abe was physically capable of getting outta the hospital on his own?

At the time I didn’t think so, but I suppose it’s possible. Okay. Well, S AA did wander off on his own. Salem PD puts out an a p b, and for weeks the cops and a whole army of volunteers search for one of the best known men in the city. And no one reports seeing anyone they even think might have been a and one day, weeks later.

The first person to lay eyes on Ave sees him at the exact moment. He walks into the water and drowns, and then the case is closed, all tied up with the ribbon. Something doesn’t add up, baby.

So you’re saying that if egg was so confused and so out of it, he just, he just walked off a dock into the river then how did he survive the weeks before that? No, he was, uh, not only suffering from Amnesia, he was recovering from a head injury. So what did he negotiate the streets on his own. Would you still think that it was Colin Bedford that did it?

I know maybe he kidnapped Abe, I don’t know. But he was in jail most of the time. Abe was missing if someone wasn’t looking after Abe. I don’t understand how he didn’t end up in social services. And thanks to Abe Salem is very proactive in helping the homeless. You know, you’re really, you really kind of scaring me now.

Oh, I’ll get in.

Theo. Theo, I’m so glad you came over. Oh, Steve, look. Look at Theo. Hey man. Okay. I’m so sorry.

This is, uh, this is a tough day. I, I am sorry that, uh, John and I didn’t come through for your dad and for you. You did your best. I just came to say thank you for the donation you made in my dad’s name to the autism charity. Well, we, we know how important that charity was to your dad. We were happy to do it.

And we really loved your dad, and we love you, and we are here for you.

Well, your executives and your long lunch breaks. Mm-hmm. How you feeling? I tell you, I feel a lot better when I get these bullet fragments outta me. Yeah. How you doing these days?

Hey, hey look, I’m not trying to pry, I’m asking as a friend who’s friend. Mine are Romans. Both of you. I don’t want either one of you to get hurt.

What were you just, now

I was thinking of the moment that I found out I wasn’t the person I thought I was. And how my whole life that I knew I changed in an instant

and there was Abe, one thing in my life was still the same, and it was my friendship with Abraham.

Dammit, doc, I just wish that I could have been as good a friend to him as he’s always had been to me. You were, you were. He always knew that about you. Dammit, doc. I was so damn sure that we were gonna find him. I, I was so damn sure that someone had taken him for whatever reason, they were holding him against his will and, and,

And I was so damn wrong.

Well, I’m off to work now.

I Are you still mad at me? No, not mad. I just, uh, I just get a bit lonely when you’re gone. Oh, well I thought you were catching up on body and Soul. I am, but it would be nice to have people who talk back, you know, I was thinking, couldn’t feel come over and hang out for a while. Oh, I forgot to tell you, uh, Theo had to travel back to South Africa.

What? My son left town without saying goodbye. Well, he stopped by on his way to the airport, but you were resting and I didn’t wanna disturb you, but I would’ve wanted to say goodbye. You should have woken me up. I, I know. I, I, I, you’re right. I, I, I’m sorry. What? What, what about your daughter? Huh? Chanel. My stepdaughter, couldn’t she come by and see me?

I just keep thinking of the heartache got brought to Abraham with my secrets and lies. Mama, you more than made up for whatever heartache you caused him by all the love and support you gave him. He was so crazy about you.

Look at that be.

This is delicious. I know things are hard right now, Theo, but you have to remember to eat. I’ll try. And you know what? If you ever are feeling alone or you wanna talk to somebody, we’re here for you. I know that. Thank you. But I think I’m gonna be okay, especially now that my sister’s here. Mama, you’re not going to believe this.

No, but. What is it now of a, let me guess, a cactus. Well, Eli does say I can be a bit prickly if I haven’t had my morning coffee. Mommy.

Oh. Hi, mama. I’m home. My baby girl, my darling, my precious girl.

Come on, man. What’s the matter with you? What? What, honey? What? I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. From the moment I woke up here, all I’ve been thinking about and talking about is myself, and I know you’re going through this too, sweetheart. It’s hitting me hard too. It doesn’t mean that you can’t talk to me about how you’re feeling.

Look, the only way that we’re going to get through this, and I I, I mean beyond the two of us way, we’re all going to get through this is talk about our feelings, share our feelings. In fact, I think I have an idea.

Paulina must have been thrilled to see Lonnie. God bless Eli for bringing her home. It’s just a furlough. Well, I think it’s really important that your whole family is together for the funeral. Yeah.

When my mom died, I was able to say bye to her, but. My dad, he just, he just went away. He just disappeared and then drowned. I just, I, it, it doesn’t make sense to me. I,

I am so grateful that you’re here, Lonnie. I’m so very, very grateful, even if it is for such a terrible, sad reason. Yeah, I’m grateful too. I am beyond grateful to be free, even if it is for a short time so that I can be here with my mama and my sister and my brother. Thing is, um, some part of me just, it just doesn’t, uh, just don’t feel that.

Dad is really gone. Mm-hmm. It’s so surreal. Yes, it is. It is. And oh, the way it happened. Oh Lord Lonnie, it just doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe, I suppose partly because we, we didn’t get to say goodbye to him. Never got to see him touch him,

and how the hell are we supposed to have a proper home going when we don’t have a body?

Well, Chanel was intending to come over to visit with her. Step, pop, pop, step, pop, pop. Oh yeah. That’s a little, uh, pet name that she has for you. You love it when she calls you that and yet I cringe on you. Say it anyway. As I was just getting ready to say, Chanel has just been so swamped at the bakery, so, so another day is staring at the walls.

What, how luckily for you body and soul is fitting to get better. You’re about to meet Lorna. She’s back Who? That’s Lorna. Lorna is just one of the great soap bitches of all times. And trust me when I tell you, you gonna love to hate her. Check it out.

I know that it would help us all to accept what happened, but given a case like this, there’s just no telling when or. Even if his body will ever be found and yet, and yet what? Sweetheart? They didn’t waste any time declaring him dead, did they? Even though there’s no evidence to prove it for a fact.

Lonnie, no, Eli. I wanna see that evidence for myself. I wanna go down to the station. That’s against policy Mia, but you know, given the circumstances, I’m sure Ray wouldn’t, he wouldn’t mind and I don’t care if he would mind. Can we go now? Oh, wait a minute, darling. Lanie you. You’re out of prison today. It’s your anniversary.

You shouldn’t be spending at a police station, especially since nothing you find down there at that police station will bring a back to us. Mama. I have to see that evidence for myself. Or I will never sleep again. Paulina, look, when she gets like this, you just got I know. I know. There’s no changing her mind.

Tell me something. I don’t know. Thank you.

We’ll be back as soon as we can. Well, I’m gonna walk out with you. I need to head back over to the baby. You call me if you need anything. Okay? You gonna be all right alone. I think I should get used to it, don’t you? Hey, you too. I’m just about to call you. Look who’s here. Oh. Oh my goodness. Oh, good to see you.

I’m so sorry about your dad. Thank you. Good to see you kiddo. Be on. Sorry. I know how hard you work to find him. And you too. I’m very grateful. Dad was a good man. He one of the best. We loved him a lot. He knew that. He used to say. He used to say, okay. Do you wanna talk about this? No, actually, um, I think I should get going now.

Are you sure? You’re all right. Lonnie’s. Someone furlough. I’ll be fine. Lonnie’s here. Please, please give her a love and, and send her love to Paulina as well. Tell her to call us if there’s anything we can do. I will. It was nice to see you all again. Yeah, you too Sweet. Take kid. Come back anytime. Okay.

Goodness. Poor kid.

Damnit. Should have found him. You should have found him. We should have found him. You too are blaming yourselves entirely too much for this. You did everything you could. You searched and searched. Come on. You left no stone unturned. You did your very best. And I’m sure if were here, He would say the same thing.

It’s burned.

So that’s Lorna. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like I said, one of the greatest soaper bitches of all time, so large than life, so over the top. So outrageous that Susan Lucci and Heather Lockney are fired, their agents. Oh. Oh, okay. I wish I could sit here and watch with you five more minutes, but then I’ll be late for work.

Happy watching. Thanks. Oh, oh, oh. When I come home, I’m gonna need to hear all about your favorite cat fight.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the most unstoppable of.

You okay?

Yeah,

it’s just, it’s really weird being back here. So many memories.

Mainly meeting my new partner. And falling in love with him, and him falling even more in love with you. Okay. And, uh, they got married. Mm-hmm. And they lived happily ever after. Okay. Okay. Fine. With a few challenges, but nothing that they couldn’t handle. Mm. Because they were tough. So tough. And so enough,

uh, you know, doc, you’re right. Steve and I, we busted our ass. We did our damnedest to find Abe. You know what I’m thinking? I’m thinking that maybe I’m just blaming myself because it’s a hell of a lot easier than accepting the fact that he’s gone. Yeah. It’s the same for me. Yeah. Hey, did I tell you I had another dream about him this morning?

I dreamt that I found him down on the docks, but he just walked away from me. Didn’t go in the water. He just walked away from me. You didn’t tell me that. I thought I did. Why don’t you tell me about the end of the dream, what, whatever details you can remember.

I was getting on my phone to call Paulina and

I hear Abe say that he was sorry that he couldn’t stay. I said, what do you mean by that? And he just said, goodbye, old friend. And he turned around and he walked off into the fog and I kept calling on him and he was gone.

What is it?

I was thinking that maybe just, maybe this is not really about John’s guilt, the dream. I mean, maybe it’s about. John’s something that, there’s something wrong here. That’s what I’ve been saying. Abe was injured, he had amnesia. How did he survive all those weeks? With no one seeing him looking after him.

Yeah. And this, this witness, the one and only person to see him is the one who watches him go in the water. That means eight had to get from wherever he was all the way down to the dock without anyone seeing him. We need to get back to work.

This is a lab report matching the blood from the pylon to AIDS blood sample that was on record at the hospital. D. Exact match. Exact match. Hmm.

When I first came to Salem, I just, I knew I was my biological father and I was determined to prove it. My mom said, you two weren’t together very long. She didn’t even tell me how you guys met. Well, she almost crashed into my car on her way to singing Friend’s Wedding Dr. Marlena Evans, they went to college together.

Yeah,

she, um, she doesn’t know about you either, Bonnie, didn’t you, you ever wonder who your father was? Of course I did. Probably thought he was some dent.

When your mother left Hannah,

I had no idea she was pregnant.

How could she not tell me I had a daughter?

I was wrong about the d n. But Abe, Abe is your father in every way that counts.

What else is in there? Here’s a statement from Jerry Prentice. He saw your dad go in the water.

What’s this? It looks like a professional photo. Yeah, detective Hunter dug that up. Turns out Jerry Prentice is an actor.

Oh, well that’s a little better.

You wanted to see me, Ms. DeLorean?

It’s about time you got here. I have a job for you.

What kind of job?

I need someone who could pretend to be the true and rightful heir to the DeLorean fortune, and that is where you come in.

Abe: Theo?

Paulina: Oh, Nurse King, what?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Knock on door ] Okay. Hi. Hey. Thanks for coming by. Yeah, of course. I really appreciate you coming over on such short notice. Yeah. You know, it’s been a pretty busy morning. I just took scout to say goodbye to her father before he reported to prison. Then I spent the next hour consoling her because it was pretty hard to come up with something to say. She’s devastated. She just got her dad back, and now she’s lost him again. Sorry to show up unannounced like this. No, it’s alright. Uh, isn’t today… I start my sentence at pentonville today, yeah. Those judges are out for blood. Given the alternatives, I just, uh, made the best choice that I could make. Well, what brings you here instead of spending your last hours with your family? Unfinished business. So, there he is, back behind the desk. Gonna make it permanent?

[ Chuckles ] Been there, done that. Doesn’t mean you couldn’t do it again. Could get a lot of arguments in with your brother that way. Oh, I don’t have to be police commissioner to do that. Ha! I’m interim until someone can be appointed. But I’m glad you stopped by. Something interesting crossed my desk. Something I think you’d like to see. So, have a nice chat with dr. Montague, but don’t push yourself too hard. I know you’re itching to end the guardianship, but you can’t rush mental health. What in the world? I just got an e-mail from gellhorn jewelers. They’ve dropped the larceny charges against cody. Huh. I’m sure they have their reasons. And something tells me you know what they are. Scott: So, once you finally sign this affidavit, I can file it with the clerk’s office and we can get down to business with the wsb. Right. Yeah, business. Yes, and as you know, the wsb doesn’t like to have their cage rattled, so they’re probably gonna play hardball. Oh, hardball? Wait, are you saying that they’re gonna investigate me?

[ Sighs ] Well, you do know what the “s” in the wsb means. Security. Okay, yeah. No, I didn’t know that. Well, like most agencies, they thrive on intel. That’s their bread and butter. Is that gonna be a problem?

[ Monitor beeping ] How’d you sleep? Barely. I think I’m just too geared up to hear what dr. Randolph has to say today. I just heard that dr. Randolph won’t be meeting with us today. Does that mean we’ll have to wait to get the results? Apparently she’s sending somebody that is familiar with the case. Hey, willow, willow, look. You’ve been getting stronger every single day. We have to believe that it’s good news. This cancer journey’s been such a roller-coaster ride. I’m almost afraid to predict what will come next.

[ Knock on door, door opens ] Good. Good. You’re both here.

[ Door closes ] How are you feeling, willow? Pretty anxious at the moment. Glad to see you, though. Do you have the results? I asked dr. Randolph if I could deliver this news. It’s life-changing.

Friend, I felt thismight be better coming from me. And it’s my honor to report that the absolute neutrophil count we ran on you the last three days shows an anc of 500. And my platelet count? Holding steady at 30,000. Oh! Those are the markers that dr. Randolph said we needed for engraftment. Does this mean that — that liesl’s donated cells are creating new ones? From all accounts, the bone marrow transplant was a success.

[ Crying ] This — this is what we hoped for. Does this mean that willow’s in remission? Gellhorn jewelers dropped the charges against cody? Apparently the insurance company has determined that the clasp on the bracelet gladys was wearing that night was faulty. Faulty? Witness came forward. Says here a waiter found the bracelet in the dressing room and thought it belonged to the jacket above it. That’s weird. Yeah, well, our helpful waiter slipped the bracelet into cody’s pocket. Unfortunately, leading me to slip cody into a pair of handcuffs. Well, you were just doing your job, mac. Life’s bitter ironies. I, uh — I imagine myself cody’s father, not his arresting officer. Cody: I screwed up. I don’t know how to make it right. You lied… about the first dna results. You said the mac wasn’t your father when in actuality, he is. Well, hey, you know, at least it didn’t go any further. Uh, cody’s gonna be relieved. I-I’m gonna go see him right now, actually. Mind some company? I’d like to deliver the news myself. I’m no choirboy, scott. Well, who is? Listen, you don’t have to be squeaky clean to be on the winning side of a lawsuit. And I’ll drive home that point, and so you do a nickel upstate. A nickel? For what? Grand larceny. 5 to 10. Oh. Oh, right. The bracelet. Um, yeah, I-I — I don’t think that’s gonna be a problem. Really? Well, last time I checked, there were some charges pending from all that hoopla at the nurses’ ball. Yeah, something tells me those won’t stick. Good. Hey, you don’t have to tell me what’s going on. It’s gonna be worth it. Yeah. All it cost me was a new friend. You didn’t seemat all surprised or upset when I just told you that cody was in the clear. What’s going on, gladys? Okay, the insurance company contacted me about it earlier. Apparently a waiter found the bracelet and slipped it into cody’s jacket pocket. What? Yeah, the guy was in the dressing room and thought it fell out or something. I don’t know, but he admitted that he put it into cody’s pocket. I-I was gonna tell you after your appointment. Is that so? Oh, yeah. And is that all you’ve got to say? W-what do you mean? Are you finally ready to admit the truth, gladys? What truth? That you were wrong all along about cody. I said goodbye to most of the quartermaines already and been spending a lot of time with scout. In fact, I saw her this morning again. That must have been difficult. Yeah, I was hoping never to have to say goodbye to a child of mine again. At least with scout, it’s not forever. Does that have anything to do with the unfinished business? Yeah, this is, uh — it’s for ned — or eddie maine. I mean, I heard he was staying with you. I got to admit, I never saw that coming. You and me bo– whatever he calls himself. Here we are. Oh, that’s decent of you, sonny. I’m just hoping that, you know, his — I don’t know, his favorite guitar can help bring back some memories, some real memories. Well, that’s pretty decent of you. But you could have given it to him yourself. But he — he took off. Is that safe for him to be out? I got my eye on ned. And don’t worry about it. He’s not the only one. Carly: Drew’s the reason i reached out to you this morning. I want to know how you’re feeling about all this. Okay. And I want you to be honest with me. No holding back? No holding back. Right. I am, uh — I’m not happy about it. I’m actually pretty angry, carly. I wish drew would have made a different choice. So do I. Drew was determined to do this. He was very concerned about what a long fight would do to our families. No, I get that. I do. But drew deserves some peace and happiness, and yet he continues to sacrifice all of that. And he’s doing it again because — because of me.

I don’t blame you for feeling this way. I’m the one who bought the shares. It’s my fault. It is all on me.

[ Exhales deeply ] I thought that, too. At first. But not anymore. Carly, I mean, I realize you were trying to help drew and michael keep control of elq. You didn’t see this coming. But I should have. At the very least, I should have talked to a financial adviser or listened to michael and drew when they told me not to do anything. Instead, I went behind their back, which is classic me. Yeah, but you were not out for personal gain. You were just trying to help. I get it. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to hear you say this. I’d give anything to fix it. I want to fix it so bad for him. I know you do. But drew wants to fix this for you. Which speaks volumes as to how much drew really cares for you. I appreciate you stepping up, taking responsibility. ‘Cause I know they made you an offer… to flip on me and take me down. How did you know about that? Been doing this a long time. I know what you and carly did, and I’m sure she was target number one. You know my business. You know what I do, the things I — you know. You could have given them damaging information. You didn’t do it. Carly would never flip on you. Neither would I. Sonny, sacrificing you, that wasn’t even a consideration. This was my debt to pay. You protected her. You protected both of us. I’m not gonna forget that. I got some guys in pentonville that are gonna keep their eyes on you. I appreciate that. Hopefully I’m not gonna need it, but it’s good to know that it’s there. To a certain extent, there’s — there’s only — you know, I can only go so far. Keep your eyes open… and your chin up. Okay, I was wrong about cody. But he was wrong about me. I’m not some diabolical mother-in-law. I never said that you were. But why didn’t you tell me? Why did I have to get an e-mail from the jeweler? Honey, I-I was gonna tell you after your appointment. I-I-I just didn’t want to distract you. And I figured you’d be angry at me. Why would i be angry at you? Because I blamed your friend. Can you forgive me?

[ Sighs ] Of course. It was all a big misunderstanding. The person you should apologize to is cody. I’m ready for you, sasha. I hope this doesn’t cause problems for you and cody. There is no me and cody. You will have plenty of friends once you sign this affidavit. And you know what? All your friends, they’re gonna look like benjamin franklin. Here we go. Alright, so, you’re saying this affidavit will be enough to prove that I’m leopold taub’s son, right? Yes, yes, yes, it should be. I mean, taub has no living relatives. I-I — nobody’s gonna contest it. I think with this and your birth certificate, that’ll do the trick. Unless the wsb wants to go through the trouble of exhuming taub’s body. Wait. W-w– they would do that? Well, if they do, we could tack on another $10 million. Can you cry on cue?

[ Stammers ] What? Well, the wsb, they were very stupid and careless, you know, losing the — the necklace in the first place. Number two, you, the grief, the suffering that you’re gonna go through when they have to dig up dear old dad. Come on. That’s a pot of gold. I think we should push them to dig up dear old dad. No, no, no, no, no. God, no. Please — please don’T. It’s still too soon to say if I’m in remission, isn’t it? We need six months to a year to see if blood counts remain normal without an infusion. But we’re encouraged. There are no visible leukemia cells in the blood or bone. Really? That’s — that’s good. Very. Better still, these test results mean willow can go home. She doesn’t need a-a sterile environment anymore? Not strictly. Willow’s immune system is still compromised, so precautions will need to be taken. You’ll have to prepare your home per our instructions. Is — is this a dream?

[ Chuckles ] S-so, what, she’ll — she’ll be discharged in a — in a-a week, a couple of days? How’s a couple of hours? Once you get your meds and your instructions, you can go home. I will be home and in my own bed by the end of the day? This isn’t a good idea.

I mean, we need more time. The gatehouse isn’t ready. We still have to sterilize and prepare a space downstairs. You’re not climbing the stairs right away. I’m sure the quartermaine staff can help with that. Or we can stay somewhere else temporarily. I don’t care where I am, as long as I get to hold my babies again. Willow, I want that, too, more than anything. But is that safe right now? I mean, kids carry germs. We can’t risk infection. We’ve come this far. Shouldn’t we be following the best protocols for the long term? I hear you, michael. And, willow, he is right to be careful. The first year after a transplant, your immune system is like that of baby amelia’S. All your past vaccinations have been completely wiped out. So exposure to illnesses like chickenpox could be deadly. But we’ll — we’ll go over all of this. Of course. Yeah. Um… but it sounds like when I go home, I’ll still be in isolation. I think I realized the two of you were a couple before you even did. I’m happy for you both. I-I truly am. So if there really actually was no way out, I really appreciate the way drew stepped up for you. I mean, we need drew. But your family needs you, too. Thank you, sam. Thank you. I miss him so much already. I know.

[ Sighs ] Okay, you know, enough of this. Can I get my friend a cup of coffee? You sure can.

[ Laughs ] Especially since I haven’t had a cup all day today. What? I told you it’s been a busy day. So, yes, I will take you up on that offer. Oh! I find that hard to believe. I know you have bags of corinthos coffee at your house. Yeah, I do. But dante is the one who brews it ’cause he kind of does all things in the kitchen. Oh. Yeah. So it’s really his — oh. Um… I’M…so sorry. Hey. Yeah. Here you go. I’ll take that. Yeah. Um… okay. Carly.

[ Sighs ] If you need to talk… about my pending financial crisis? No, sam, I’ll pass. No, carly. About all that you’ve lost. What can I do for you, gladys? Oh. [ Chuckles ] New hobby? I don’t have a lot of time. Sorry. Um… yeah. Did you talk to sasha about not ending the guardianship? Yeah, I talked to her. And? And… I don’t blame you for being concerned. Sasha: Deception is having a banner year since we unveiled our new product, the deceptor. And I’m just feeling really engaged and useful. For the last 15 minutes, you have given me a laundry list of everything that’s right in your life and work. Things are back on track. Sasha, I don’t want you to view these sessions as just a way to prove yourself to me. I don’t understand. My chief purpose is to evaluate whether the judge should grant your petition to end your guardianship. But I’m also here to help. Which means I need you to be honest. Oh, I am. Work is going great, and I’m feeling more stable. I don’t doubt that. But you’ve seemed troubled since you walked through that door. You want to tell me what’s making you anxious? Sign it. It’s not gonna sign itself. Cody! We have news. Uh, what’s, uh — what’s the news? The, uh, company that insures gellhorn jewelers dropped the charges. Oh, that’s great. “That’s — that’s great.” That’s it? Man, you’re more excited about a chicken parmesan. Well, to be fair, mama q’s chicken parm is breaded to perfection with the perfect ratio of cheese to sauce. That’s true. Plus, I didn’t do it, so I knew I was innocent the whole time. What changed their minds? A witness stepped forward with new information that made it clear that you didn’t put the bracelet in your pocket. Ah! See, there you are. The truth prevails here, so it’s smooth sailing from here on. Excuse me, gentlemen. I’ve got to go file a document. Uh, cody, can I talk to you? Uh, yeah, sure. Can I talk to you, actually, for a minute?

[ Sighs ] No, no, no. Listen, I’m late. I got to go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I’m sure you are. But I-I just wanted to know… what are you and cody up to?

[ Sighs ]

I’ve been spending half the time

for you to come and find me

don’t know exactly why

that I can’t feel free till I’m with you

you who

can stand me up like I’m ten feet tall

you who

turn around and you watch me fall

you who

can change a man into smoke

just light him up, take a toke

breathe out until he’s used

[ Handcuffs clicking ]

And you know it’s true appreciate the hospitality. Cyrus: It’s certainly not the metro court, but it may be one step up from a leaky makeshift prison on a greek island.

I’m glad the charges were dropped. I had to do it, even though it never set right with me having to arrest you. Don’t sweat it, mac, you know. I won’t hold it against you. Thanks. And I’m glad to see you and scott are on good terms, considering you punched the guy when you first came to town.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, scotty’s all right. So you — you trust him, then? Careful with that. That letter I saw cody sign, is that something to do with the jewelers, or is that something else? I’m not at liberty to talk about that. Why, are you representing him in another matter? Come on, you do know about lawyer-client privilege, right? You could have just said “yes.” So, what is it you’re accusing your friend of doing? Cody getting scammed by you. What isn’t making me anxious these days? Tell me more about that. Oh. I mean, I guess I just feel the pressure of getting all this right. Mm-hmm. I want to give my colleagues the support that I couldn’t last year. I want to strike the right life/work balance, be there for my friends, one of whom is battling leukemia. I want to recover relationships that I’ve lost. You don’t want much, do you?

[ Chuckles ] This all sounds normal, sasha. What you’re feeling is completely understandable. We all have varying levels of stress. There are many different ways to manage it. You ever tried meditation? I learned it when I went to rehab. But I prefer doing yoga. Oh, yoga’s great, but I want you to try 10 minutes of mindfulness without movement each day. I have an app I can recommend. Sounds good. I would like to feel more centered. I have something else for you. Be right back. Michael, your concerns are valid. But we’re not trying to keep willow away from the people she loves. We’ll have to exercise caution, especially at first. Only close physical contact with immediate family and a small, select number of friends. It’s crucial that you avoid close contact with anyone who could be sick — anyone. I advise you and your visitors to both wear masks during visits. Yeah, we’ll follow the instructions to the letter. We’re both terrified of taking a step backwards. Understandable. But you are well on the road to recovery. And you couldn’t have a better advocate than your husband here. My husband. That never gets old. A nurse will stop by with your medications and talk self-care and follow-up appointments. We can’t thank you enough, tj. I’m just the messenger. You are more than that. You’ve been with me from the start. You’ve been invaluable as a doctor and as a friend. Gonna go before I blush.

[ Chuckles ] Right. Could it be? Our nightmare’s over.

[ Both chuckle ] Maybe we’ll get our happily ever after, after all. I mean, to be honest, sam, it’s really hard for me to wrap my head around everything I’ve lost in the past two years. My husband. Jason. My hotel. Now drew. I mean, $5 million kind of pales in comparison. Ooh, $5 million? Yeah. That’s how much the sec is charging you? Do you have it? Well, even if I’m able to secure this loan without much collateral, I still can’t afford what I owe the government. Oh, carly, what are you gonna do? I don’t know. I don’t know. I mean… I’m sick thinking about what drew could be facing in prison. And I worry so much about what I’m gonna face out here. I don’t know.

[ Voice breaking ] I don’t know. Ohh. I am so sorry. Me too. But you know what really pisses me off? Drew and I are in this position purely because of spite. You clearly know who I am. Care to tell me who you are? I am your brother in christ. Even the metro court stopped including bibles in their bedside tables. Their mistake. “Blessed are ye who weep now, for ye shall laugh.” It gladdens my heart that you don’t weep over your circumstance. Yeah, well, I’ve learned that… time passes either way. Well said. My group would benefit from your outlook. We meet twice weekly in the library. Your group? Unlike other prison factions, our brotherhood is founded on shared values, not on prejudice or partisanship. And the minute I got word you were headed to pentonville, I knew your place was with us.

T, the gatehouse willbe spotless for your arrival. It’s still hard to believe that I’m going home. Well, believe it. And wiley and amelia will be waiting for you. All the q’s will want to visit. But don’t worry. I have no problem gate-keeping. Your health is all that matters. I’ll be good, I promise. But, uh, even I can’t keep away my mother or josslyn or brook lynn, for that matter, so… I wouldn’t want you to.

[ Chuckles ] So, shouldn’t just be my family on the visitor list. Who do you want to see? Sasha? Chase? Yes to both. But there might be someone else I want to add to that visitor’s list. Look, you don’t have to do this alone. You have people who can help you. I’m not gonna take a handout, sam. I’m not going — I’m not gonna take it from michael, josslyn, or sonny, especially sonny. But you have a child to support. What about donna? Well, thankfully, she will always be taken care of by her father. Well, what about donna’s mother? I mean, the stress that you must be under. Look, I’ve managed a setback before. I mean, losing the metro court, it was a real blow. But I handled it. And I will handle this. I-I just don’t know how yet, but I will. I admire your grit. That’s something we have in common.

[ Laughs ] Yes. Guilty as charged. We are both pretty self-reliant, aren’t we?

[ Laughs ] We are. But something that I’ve learned over the past several years is that it is okay to ask for help and to push your foolish pride aside. Sasha admitted she struggles with grief and she’s nervous about ending the guardianship. See? She’s not ready. It all seems realistic to me. There is nothing that sasha said to me that tells me she can’t handle herself. So if she’s ready and the doctor and the judge says yes, we are gonna stay out of her way.

[ Door opens ] My pa filled this for you. Take five milligrams three times daily. What is this? It’s a benzodiazepine. It’s a mild sedative. It’ll help you manage your anxiety. Take the edge off, so to speak. And it’s okay to take with my antidepressant? This class of drugs is often prescribed in conjunction. And is it habit-forming? Because I have a history. Dr. Montague: The drug can be habit-forming if used other than prescribed. But I will be monitoring your intake, and I am confident that you are far enough in your recovery that that won’t be a problem. Unless you feel otherwise, like you can’t be in control? Oh, no. I am in control. Totally. I’ve known cody a long time. Okay, he just got in the clear. I don’t want to see him getting into any new trouble. Listen, everything we’re working on is aboveboard. There’s no scheme here, detective. It seems like you’re always warning me about someone, mac. You mean like selina wu? Look, I’m not putting scott in selina’s category, but I do want you to be careful around her. But, hey, I told you I wouldn’t interfere, and I won’T. Scott’s my legal counsel, mac. That’s it. Sorry. I’m prying. Maybe you’re glad we’re not related. That way I won’t be on your case so much. It doesn’t mean I still don’t want what’s best for you, cody. So, why all the interest in me? Oh, don’t be so modest. Your story’s well-known. Business mogul, prominent family, philanthropist, navy seal hero-turned-prisoner- turned-free-man. Turned prisoner again. Yet one more chapter in your fascinating story. Far from the end. It is easy for faith to wither on the vine behind bars. I believe your presence at our meetings could help restore hope to some of our brothers. And I think you’ll find great comfort in this book of prayers. I’m sorry. I asked, but I didn’t catch your name. Just call me brother cy. Cy? As in cyrus? Renault. Laura’s brother. How is my dear sister? The cyrus renault whose drug trafficking caused overdoses and nearly killed sasha gilmore. My past is lamentable. And who tried to kill britt westbourne. Thank god I wasn’t successful. Well, you can thank my late brother jason morgan for that. And god help you if you approach me again.

Your dischargepaperwork is being processed. You can stay here as long as you need to sanitize your place. But you’re free to leave once you’ve reviewed all of your medications and instructions. Now, I can’t stress enough how important it is to protect your immune system. No visitors from any people not in your very limited bubble. We got it. Thank you. Thank you, tj. I am so happy for you guys. Take care. Thank you.

[ Sighs ] He has been a godsend through all this. So, is, uh, tj who you want to add to your bubble? Absolutely, yes. But I was thinking of someone else, and you might not be happy. Whoever you want, willow. I hope so. Because… I think my bubble should include nina. Maybe I am being prideful, but this is my mess. I have to clean it up. But I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let it crush me. I have risen from the ashes before. Well, I trust that you will get the clarity you need. As long as you keep that iron will, a roof over your head, and your freedom, you’ll think of something. You’re right. And thanks to you, I’ve figured out a way to use all three. She has no concept of how stressful it’ll be to be on her own. Having responsibility for her finances, having to make decisions where deception is concerned? I mean, she might buckle under the weight. Gladys… you’ve made your point. You don’t think sasha should end the guardianship. But you got to understand something. Okay. What? It’s not up to you anymore! Give it up!

[ Door closes ] You did good work today, sasha. If that continues, I’m confident I’ll be able to relay a positive report to the judge who’s hearing your petition. Thank you for listening to me, dr. Montague. That means everything, and it really helps me the most. Well, we all need support. Talk therapy, meditation, and that prescription I gave you are all parts of a consistent wellness plan. I’ll see you next week.

[ Door closes ] Hello, gladys. Did you — did you do it. Just as we discussed. Your daughter-in-law is on a new prescription regimen. It’s only a matter of time. You’re not having second thoughts? Because I can invent an excuse to have sasha bring back the medication. No. Let’s move forward. It’s the only move I have left. I want your word there’s nothing shady going on here, cody’s not gonna get burnt by whatever it is that he just signed that you’re about to file. What kind of a lawyer do you take me for? A sketchy one with a bag of tricks. Ah. No, this time it’s torts, not tricks. And just for your information, all lawyers have a sketchy bag of tricks. Tort? Like a civil lawsuit? Don’t worry about your friend cody. He’ll be fine. So long. I don’t mind you looking out for me, mac. It’s kind of nice, you know? Unnerving but nice. Well, then how about this? Don’t think of me as a cop. Think of me as a friend. I already do. Unlike us, the word of the lord is free. No strings attached. You’ll forgive me if I don’t believe that. Oh, I do. I am a believer in the power of forgiveness, as I am in second chances. Take the book. Don’t throw it away before you peruse its pages. You’ll find its lessons very useful.
