Victoria: Well, we are back to back meetings today, so I hope you got a good night’s rest.

Nate: I had a good night, but it had nothing to do with sleep.

Victoria: I’d like you to accompany me on several of these meetings, including brock this afternoon.

Nate: With the decarbonization company. He’s pitching a merger?

Victoria: Mm-hmm. I would prefer it be an acquisition.

Nate: Same page.

Victoria: Yes, well the board is giving me some pushback. They think it’s too risky.

Nate: The risk is undeniable, the downside is very real, but why not be ahead of the pack?

Victoria: Yes. Big. Bold. No limits. No safety nets. Have I told you lately how much I like the way you think? It’s like talking to myself, but it’s much more fun.

[ Both laughing ] Hey, I have an idea. Why don’t you take the babcock meeting this afternoon? The cfo can be a little, you know, hard-headed, but I’m sure it’s something you can handle. You could also head up the marketing team status conference? I think they could definitely use some fresh ideas in there.

[ Laughs ] What?

Nate: Those are very high profile.

Victoria: You’re onboard as the interim coo. I don’t see why that would be particularly unusual.

Nate: But we both know how a lot of people feel about me stepping in for nick. And me sitting in your chair. You’re making a hell of a statement with this move.

Victoria: I know. And I don’t care.

Audra: Soy latte, huh? I pegged you for a double macchiato kind of guy.

Kyle: I like to mix it up.

Audra: I remember.

Kyle: You excited? Today’s the big day. Taking on the role of ceo of newman media.

Audra: Acting ceo. The position is mine only as long as nate is needed to fill in for your father-in-law at newman enterprises.

Kyle: I wonder how nick feels about that?

Audra: I mean, he just went through hell. You know, I appreciate victoria looking out for nick. Giving him time and space to regroup.

Kyle: Looking out for him by replacing him.

Audra: Uh, sounds like you have an issue.

Kyle: Let’s just say I am very familiar with how the newman family takes care of their own and it doesn’t always have a whole lot to do with love.

Nikki: Adam, adam wait.

Adam: [ Sighing ] Nikki. What can I do for you?

Nikki: I am so very sorry for your loss.

Sharon: I’m not going to lie. That box from cameron has me freaked out. Everything I thought I was moving on from is front and center again. The idea of going to work, how would I ever focus? How’s sally?

Nick: I think I convinced her that she should stay home, get some rest. I’ll go and check on her just as soon as I make sure you’re settled.

Sharon: How could I ever feel settled with everything this maniac has hanging over me? Even from beyond the grave. What if there’s another box, nick? And another, and another? This guy is in my head and I hate him for it.

Nick: It could be the end of it, you know. His last gasp.

Sharon: It’s hard to believe there will ever be an end to cameron in my life. Leaving me his company? It’s like he knew he was going to die and he thought of everything he could to stay in my life.

Nick: He was one twisted son of a bitch.

Sharon: I hope he’s burning in hell. Sweet pillows of softness!

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Nate: So you know… I am totally prepped to spearhead the babcock meeting. Not just their financials. And you’re right about the cfo. I had done some digging and found some inside information about the guy. Likes, dislikes, quirks. And he’s got some doozies. So, I’ll proceed with those in mind.

Victoria: Why am I not surprised that you’ve already done research?

Nate: Because you know I’ll always have your back. So, of course, I know what’s on your calendar. I’ve been gathering intel so you’d be well armed.

Victoria: Excellent.

Nate: To have the power to change the course of this company… lives… the future. It’s intoxicating. Almost as intoxicating as the way you’re looking at me right now.

Audra: That sounded like you’ve gone a few rounds with a newman or two.

Kyle: Hm, more than a few. I don’t have a problem with most of them. Strong personalities, driven, know what they want. But when somebody crosses a line and somebody always does, things can get pretty extreme.

Audra: Well, coloring inside the lines never got anybody anywhere.

Kyle: Yeah, well, for the newman family, collateral damage is just part of the game, as long as they get what they want.

Audra: That fire can be productive. Or it can burn you.

Kyle: Speaking from experience?

Audra: Ah, let’s just say I’ve been singed more than a few times.

Kyle: You look like you recovered.

Audra: Yeah, you know, I– I used to let it get to me. I’d obsess over what could have been, should have been. But blew up. Maybe my fault. You know, maybe not. Then, you know, working with tucker mccall, you know, he was hardcore. Nothing would get in his way before he went all zen. At first I thought that made him soft, but then, you know, I realized that… that’s just given him more focus. Know what you want, hone in on it and the universe rewards you.

Kyle: So, you play nice and you get to go to the front of the line?

Audra: I didn’t say anything about playing nice.

Kyle: Hm.

Adam: Thank you for the condolences, but given your husband’s feelings for sally, you’ll understand if your sympathies feel a bit disingenuous.

Nikki: Adam, I am speaking to you as a fellow parent who has experienced loss. And it is unimaginable. The emptiness is overwhelming. Your vision of your future with your child has been taken from you.

Adam: Taken from me? No, no. Ask sally. This was my choice. Our little girl is dead because of me.

Nikki: That is not true.

Adam: Well, it is to sally and she hates me for it. I mean, our little girl didn’t even get to take a breath because of me.

Nikki: Adam, it was an impossible choice.

Adam: But, I mean, you can’t be surprised that I screwed up, right? ‘Cause I’m no hero, I’m not like nicholas.

Nikki: You saved her life.

Adam: Well, apparently, that doesn’t count.

Nikki: Yes, of course it does. And thank god you did.

Adam: God? God doesn’t factor into this equation because any god who makes someone choose between mother and child isn’t a god that I believe in.

Nikki: You’re angry and that’s understandable, but you cannot let it consume you.

Adam: I don’t know. It seems to be my comfort zone these days. But, nikki, if you will excuse me.

Nikki: Adam, listen. Listen. You have a bright, wonderful son who needs you and you have people who care about you. I hope you can hold onto that.

Sharon: I go to sleep and cameron is in my dreams. I wake up and I flinch at every little noise. I worry about every delivery. And faith, it takes everything in me not to call her every hour on the hour to make sure that she’s okay.

Nick: Yeah, I’m right there with you. But I’m worried about you too, sharon. You can say you’re fine and that you’re processing it and that there’s nothing for me to worry about, but that ends now. Tell me what’s going on.

Sharon: I killed that man. And I watched him die. It still haunts me.

Nick: You did what you had to do to save your daughter’s life. To save all of us.

Sharon: I know. And I don’t regret that. How could I? But it still pushes me to places I don’t want to go. I just want to stop seeing him everywhere I look and I don’t know how to make that happen. And I am so angry that this bastard has this much control over my life. How do I move on? How do I find peace?

Nick: I don’t, uh, have an answer for that, but… I’m here. All right? I’m all in. For whatever you need.

Sharon: I have an idea. But you would have to get your hands dirty.

Nick: Whatever it takes. If you’re taking an antidepressant

Adam: Mccall needs to be lean and mean. I want to sell off our deadweight and keep anything that can be weaponized against our competitors. And there is only one. Newman media and I want to crush them. I’ll call you back. What?

Victor: I just got a call from nikki. She’s worried about you. And so am I.

[ Phone chiming ]

Nikki: What on earth?

Victoria: You know, one way that I would like to expand is to grow our global commercial real estate. We already have a very strong presence in asia and in the middle east, but I’m hearing about some very interesting eu opportunities.

Nate: Sounds intriguing.

Victoria: Mm-hmm. And, you know, now that my kids are gonna be away at boarding school, it’s gonna give me time this fall to do some more in-depth research.

Nate: So, a business trip?

Victoria: Yeah. That’s what the jet’s for.

[ Nate laughing ] And you know, I know that our last business trip didn’t really go as planned, I understand that, but that’s behind us. We’re free to be together now and… it’s not gonna be all about business. We’re gonna have to absorb the local culture to get a feel for the different marketplaces.

Nate: The food, the night life, you. My bag is already packed.

[ Door opening ]

Nikki: Sorry for the interruption.

Victoria: No. Not at all.

Nikki: Nate. Would you excuse us? I need to speak with victoria alone.

Victoria: Mother!

Nate: All good. All good. I need to prep for the babcock meeting. Nikki, I will get the quarterly account receivables to you for your review. I think you’ll be pleased with the numbers.

Nikki: I am sure I will be. Thank you. He’s meeting with babcock alone?

Victoria: He’s prepared, he’s enthusiastic, he has a great attitude, unlike you.

Nikki: Is your intention to keep nicholas away from newman enterprises for good? (Wheezing)

Victoria: Of course I’m not boxing nick out. Why would you think that?

Nikki: I just found out that you dissolved nicholas’ support team. Now he has barely stepped away, on your orders, temporarily, but now you seem to be making moves that will be more permanent.

Victoria: You don’t understand.

Nikki: No, I don’T. Why don’t you explain it to me?

Victoria: Mother, this is a very fast paced business. It’s constantly evolving. You have to stay one step ahead. It’s not as though I fired nicholas’ team. I’ve just reassigned them to different departments so that they’re not sitting around collecting paychecks, waiting for nick to return.

Nikki: Why not have them continue in the same capacity for nate? Help him get acquainted with his job as acting coo while nicholas is gone.

Victoria: No. No, nate doesn’t need his hand held. He’s done the work. He knows the position.

[ Nikki chuckling ]

Nikki: I’m sure he’s been studying up for weeks.

Victoria: He’s very hands on.

Nikki: Oh, I have no doubt.

Victoria: His drive and his energy and his focus. He’s made it clear that he wants to take on more of the workload. He wants to be fully involved.

Nikki: Are you suggesting that nicholas wasn’t?

Victoria: Nicholas has and continues to have all these outside distractions that keep him from giving the 110% and that’s what we expect at newman.

Nikki: Wow. You have an answer for everything. But this doesn’t feel like a business move. It feels personal. A way for you to strike out at your brother.

Victoria: Mother, it’s not personal. It’s necessary. Nick’s team has shown that they’re not on board with our current agenda. And I– I’m sorry, but I have no other choice.

Nikki: I don’t even know what that means.

Victoria: Like nick, his team doesn’t see adam or mccall as a threat. Nate is willing to go up against mccall. That’s the kind of leadership that I’m looking for in my coo.

Nikki: I see. Well, as your co-ceo, I’m going on record and warning you that I find this to be very aggressive and unnecessary.

Victoria: It’s just good business. I wish you could see the larger picture.

Nikki: Oh, I can see all too clearly, victoria.

Victoria: So, whatever it is, you’re dying to say it, so go ahead.

Nikki: Is all of this retaliation because nicholas warned you about nate?

Victoria: I told you my logic.

Nikki: This has nothing to do with logic. This is about ashland.

Victoria: Don’t be ridiculous!

Nikki: Nicholas warned you time and time again about him, but you refused to listen. And he was right. I think deep down, you’re worried that he’s right this time as well.

Nick: I hope that gave you some freedom.

Sharon: I should have said something.

Nick: For cameron?

Sharon: No. His victims. All the people he hurt, the deaths he caused, the damage he did. Like that woman who lives in los angeles. The one he assaulted. I hope she knows that cameron’s dead and that he can never hurt her again and that she has found peace.

Nick: And you?

Sharon: It might take a little while longer. It’s not just the fear. The space cameron’s taking up in my head, but it’s the guilt.

Nick: The guilt?

Sharon: I brought this maniac into our lives. Our daughter was kidnapped. She might’ve been killed. All because of one stupid choice I made years ago.

Nick: You cannot blame yourself.

Sharon: How can I not? Faith, you know, as strong as she was through this ordeal, this is going to mark her. All of us. In ways we can’t even know yet. All of the psychology classes and degrees in the world can’t give me that answer.

Nick: You already know the answer. It’s love. You and faith are not alone in this. You have me and mariah and tessa and noah. So many people who love you both and will be there for you no matter what.

Sharon: We’re here for you, too.

Nick: Luckiest guy in the world.

[ Nick sighing ] You don’t want cameron’s business. Let’s get rid of this. Let’s throw it away and be done with it and cameron forever.

Sharon: Nick, wait. Watching all that misery turn to ash gave me an idea.

Audra: Newman media was an early adopter of ai. You know, but if we really ramp up, increase focus on using it as a distribution tool, set up algorithms to select content for our users, I mean, it could be a gamechanger for our metrics. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m probably boring you.

Kyle: That would be impossible.

Audra: You know, I– I’ve wanted this for so long. You know, to be at the table, just making decisions that can change everything. And it’s– it’s actually happening.

Kyle: I’m excited for you.

Audra: I’m excited for me, too. And I don’t know how long I’ll be ceo, but I’m going to light newman up every minute I’m there.

Kyle: No coloring in the lines for you.

Audra: Oh, no. The brighter, the bigger, the better. Uh, what’s wrong?

Kyle: Oh, you know, all this talk about coloring outside the lines has inspired me.

Audra: Okay?

Kyle: It’s a beautiful morning. Perfect time to live in the now.

Audra: If you’re gonna ask me something, you should just ask me. (Buzz) are you guys telling secrets?

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

Kyle: We don’t have time for what I want to ask you.

Audra: Good. Because the answer would be no.

Kyle: Oh, the big meeting.

Audra: Lots of them.

Kyle: Okay. How about later?

Audra: You are so–

Kyle: Charming? Irresistible?

Audra: Relentless.

Kyle: I’ll take it.

Audra: Put in your number. If I have time, I’ll call you.

Kyle: If you have time. There you go.

Audra: Don’t get your hopes up.

Kyle: You’ll call.

Audra: Oh.

[ Audra chuckling ]

Victor: I gotta tell you, I am deeply sympathetic and so is nikki to both of you and sally. Loss of a child is just unimaginable.

Adam: If you say it’s better this way or if everything happens for a reason, I’m out of here.

Victor: Son, I’m just here to find out how you’re coping. And I wanna know if there’s anything we can do to help you.

Adam: [ Sighing ] I’m– I’m good.

Victor: No, you’re not. Be honest with me. You and sally are going through hell right now.

Adam: The only time you’ve said sally’s name was like a curse. So, now you care about sally?

Victor: Son, I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Not on my worst enemy. And I saw the joy on her face, and the joy on your face, anticipating the birth of your child.

Adam: Well, good news for you, she never wants to see me again. So, I guess you can take the win on this one, okay? Nikki already gave me the “don’t be angry” talk. She said let it go. Focus on connor. On the people who love me. I mean, what a laugh that is, right? Not exactly a popular guy these days. I mean, not ever, come to think about it. But at least I have my work, right? Is that where I should thank you?

Victor: I don’t want you to thank me. I’m here to tell you how to best get over your grief. You should throw all of your energies, all of your mental capacity into building mccall into the powerhouse it can be.

Adam: Yes. And the potential’s there.

Victor: Yes.

Adam: So, first, we clean house. And anyone who is loyal to tucker’s gonna get a severance package. And then we’re gonna focus on infrastructure. The entertainment divisions are gonna stay. Anything else is gonna be jettisoned and we’re gonna use that profit to focus on horizontal diversification. Specifically, the media divisions.

Victor: So, you’re gonna go after newman.

Adam: It’s good to have goals, right?

Victor: That doesn’t mean that you go after the newman media division.

Adam: I built that company. I made it. And I want it back.

Victor: Is that what this is about?

Adam: Pretty much.

Victor: Or, is it about you wanting to recapture the wonderful days you had with sally at newman media? Hm?

Adam: I appreciate the armchair analysis, but this is strictly about business.

Victor: Let me tell you something. Trying to recapture those days is a mistake. And so is attacking newman media.

Adam: I think that it is brilliant.

Victor: My boy… newman media is part of the newman family portfolio. Don’t mess with that.

Nick: So, you’re interested in cameron’s company?

Sharon: Not so much his company.

Nick: You lost me.

Sharon: What I could do with it. Kirsten incorporated is a tech company. It must have assets and some capital, right?

Nick: I’m sure it has some value. Unless it imploded during kirsten’s years in prison.

Sharon: What if I could take that value and make something good out of this nightmare? There has to be something that I can do with this that would make a difference in people’s lives. Either turning a profit with the company or maybe selling it out right. Donating all the proceeds to charity.

Nick: I like the sound of that.

Sharon: Who knows? Maybe if I take control of cameron’s company, I take back the power he has over me and my life. My actions, my reactions. Instead of running away from who cameron was and what he did, I will transform that hate and anger and fear into an opportunity to help people.

Nick: You just thought of that right now?

Sharon: Maybe I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. You know, the past few years have made me consider what I want out of my life. What my purpose is. And rey was an influence in that. You know, he always made the right choice, even if it was unpopular. He wanted to make a difference every single day and he did so. And now I want that. I’m ready for that. And you’re right. It has everything to do with love. I have been so blessed all my life with so much love. Such an amazing support system of friends and family who have been there for me through everything. Battling cancer, learning how to live with bipolar and now… this horror with cameron. As much as he terrorized me, maybe the gift of this nightmare is that I have found the strength that I’d forgotten I have.

Nick: I think you’re one of the strongest people I know.

Sharon: Well, I lost myself. For a little while there, I did some things, I hurt some people, but I own that. And those things made me who I am, but they are not all I am. And maybe this… is a gift. It’s time for a new direction. It’s time for a new future. With downy infusions,

Victoria: How could you bring up ashland?

Nikki: It seems very appropriate given the circumstances.

Victoria: My god, mom! Every time I do something that you and dad don’t approve of, it’s like you throw that name at me! It’s almost like you enjoy rubbing that awful mistake in my face.

Nikki: The only reason I mentioned it was to try to get through to you.

Victoria: Well,

[ Sighing ] Message received. If there’s nothing else, I have a very full day today.

Nikki: Victoria, I am just trying to understand. You’ve forced nicholas to take a leave of absence he doesn’t want, you got rid of his staff and now you seem to be preparing for and all-out war with adam.

Victoria: A war that he’s starting.

Nikki: You have a responsibility to the board, young lady, and the family.

Victoria: I know that!

Nikki: Oh, do you? You’ve alienated nicholas, you’re going after adam. And nate is just cheering you on.

Victoria: Nate is supporting me. Which is a lot more than I can say about my own family right now!

Nikki: How do you think your father is going to react to this?

Victoria: If he would listen me instead of jumping to conclusions and judging me, maybe we could have a conversation about it.

Nate: Sorry to interrupt. The meeting with babcock is set. I wanted to brief you. And you, nikki, as well, of course.

Nikki: I have work to do. Victoria can fill me in. Excuse me.

Nate: Your mother’s not too pleased with the changes.

Victoria: Well, if you’re not pissing people off, then you’re not doing it right.

[ Knocking at door ] Come in.

Audra: Hi, I know you’re crazy busy, but I wanted to give you an update on some new directives that I want to put in place for, uh, newman media. Building off of nate’s plans.

Nate: Time for a quick meeting?

Victoria: Sure. I don’t see why not. Let’s see what you’ve learned from your boss.

Adam: Look, I’m your son, I’m not your puppet.

Victor: I’m concerned about you.

Adam: Well, you shouldn’t be, okay? I’m fine. Especially if people stop telling me how to act, how to feel, what to think, okay? Because I’ve never been clearer on what I want and how to get it.

Victor: Son, you’re running on emotions. That’s not a good thing. When you’re trying to rebuild a company into the powerhouse that it can be. Let me give you a piece of advice. Whenever you make a business decision, keep emotions out of it.

Adam: Okay, well, thank you for the advice that I didn’t need, but I’m gonna run mccall the way that I see fit.

[ Victor sighing ]

Victor: Always a smart alec, right? I offered to be your sounding board. I offered for you to take advantage of the vast experience I have in building companies. That can change in an instant. Don’t forget that.

Adam: So, are you threatening me, now?

Victor: You take that any way you want. But I’m telling you… I’m not your enemy. I’m the biggest supporter you have. Don’t mess with it.

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 and gorgeous, unique. That sounds good. And the note, um… “from one overachiever to another, thanks for showing me your moves.” No– no name. She’ll know. Oh, gerrard. Um… I’d like some earrings as well. I’m thinking diamonds. Yes. Just charge it to my account. Thanks.

[ Kyle sighing ]

I have type 2 diabetes, I got this $1,000 camera for only $41 on dealdash. Dealdash.Com, online auctions since 2009. This playstation 5 sold for only 50 cents. This ipad pro sold for less than $34. And this nintendo switch, sold for less than $20. I got this kitchenaid stand mixer for only $56. I got this bbq smoker for 26 bucks. And shipping is always free. Go to dealdash.Com right now and see how much you can save. Join me in the

Victoria: You have really done your homework. Not that I would expect anything less.

Nate: Out of the park, audra. I’m looking forward to these next steps.

Audra: I plan to blow you away. All right, well, I have the crawford pictures meeting to prep for, but I’ll keep you updated.

Nate: Thank you again for taking on those negotiations. They are going to love you.

Audra: That’s the goal.

Victoria: Good work, audra. Thank you.

Audra: Thank you.

Nate: That one is gold. The fire, the energy, the drive. And the creativity? I couldn’t ask for a better acting ceo at newman media.

Victoria: Well, she’s definitely on the top of her game, but she’s only there because you put her there.

Nate: I am very excited for this next phase of newman media and newman enterprises. I think the restructuring will make all the difference.

Victoria: And with audra doing so beautifully at newman media, we are free to focus on making sure that mccall is nothing but misery for adam.

Nikki: Oh, I hope I’m not interrupting.

Victor: Hi, sweetheart.

Nikki: Hi.

Adam: Uh, no. We just finished. Good chat.

Victor: All right, son.

Adam: As always.

Nikki: Well, I’m glad you were able to catch up with adam. How was he?

[ Victor exhaling ]

Victor: He’s stuffing down his anger and his grief. No good. It’ll backfire. And then he wants to take down newman media. And that’s a very bad combination.

Nikki: I’m almost as worried about victoria.

Victor: Why?

Nikki: She has completely sidelined nicholas. Restructured his support team to suit nate. She’s getting ready to go to battle with tucker mccall, again, with nate’s backing. I mean, he is feeding her sense of power and she will not listen to anyone else.

Victor: Oh, boy. Oh, boy. That means that victoria and adam are aiming for a head-on collision.

Nick: You know, all the years I’ve known you, sharon, one thing never changes. You always manage to surprise me.

Sharon: Well, get ready. Because I have no idea what the future holds, but it’s going to surprise me, too. I can’t wait to share this with mariah and tessa. Not just the idea, but this very moment. The shift from fear to empowerment. Going from being afraid, wanting to hide and stay safe, to… trusting myself. And following my instincts, wherever they lead. Finding that strength that was always there. I want to teach them that there is always a way to come back from those dark moments. Not just come back, but flourish. Everything changes now.

[ Relaxing music ]

Steffy: You can’t do that. 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– I don’t know, but I feel bad for you. I– I really do. But you can’t come here and kiss me. I am a married woman, liam. Happily married.Ed to respect that.

Rj: You’re serious? He– liam flew all the way to rome and then he came back without saying a word to you? ‘Cause he saw you in the colosseum kissing thomas?

Ridge: Thomas.

Thomas: Hey, dad.

Ridge: You know what these are?

Thomas: I do not.

Ridge: These are the orders from rome. Lots of orders from rome. Your commitment to hope for the future really paid off. Proud of you.

Thomas: Thank you.

Ridge: Hope’s gotta feel pretty good about the choice she made.

Thomas: What do you mean?

Ridge: Asking you to come back to work. It couldn’t have been easy for her knowing how liam feels about you. But I gotta say, even liam’s gotta agree that this was the right thing after everything that happened with you and hope in rome. You’re important to her. Made a big impact in her life.

Hope: I have a feeling liam will leave me because of this.

Rj: No, come on.

Hope: Really? I mean, he has. He’s already– he’s gone and I don’t know if or when he’s ever going to come back, so–

Brooke: Hope, I was wondering– oh!

Rj: Hey.

Brooke: Hi, rj. Everything okay? What’s wrong? What’s going on?

Rj: This has to come from you, not me.

Hope: Um… [ Chuckling ] Okay. I… I think my marriage might be over.

Brooke: What?

Hope: Yeah. Liam walked out.

Brooke: Walked out?

Hope: On me. On our marriage. I think it’s over.

Steffy: Look, when you kissed me before, as– as crazy as that was, I was willing to forgive it, understand it. You were extremely upset. You saw hope and thomas kissing and you reacted impulsively. That I could let go. I could pretend like it never happened. I was hoping that we would never talk about it again, but it looks like we do need to talk about it.

Liam: No, I– I know. I– you’re right. I– I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have done that. I– I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but it doesn’t solve anything. And you– you’re– you’re happily married like you said. You have a family that you love.

Steffy: Okay. Okay. Whatever this is, you need to snap out of it because this could never, ever happen again. Hey, dad. I got an a on my book report.

Ridge: Could you have imagined that a year ago, a year ago, could you have imagined that a month ago, you and hope would be doing what you did in rome?

Thomas: I used to think about it a lot. What we could achieve. You know, it’s hard to think that it actually happened.

Ridge: But do you know why it happened?

Thomas: My unbelievable talent.

Ridge: No. It’s because you earned her trust and you earned her respect. And not just professionally, but personally. And that showed in your work.

Thomas: It’s good to know that she has faith in me.

Ridge: She’s not the only one. Son, I hate to bring this up, but I am– I’m so glad that you’ve gotten over this obsession with hope. It’s good to see you here. I have my son back. Believe it or not, people really like that guy.

Brooke: Hope, this doesn’t make sense. What reason would liam have to leave you? He adores you and he loves his family very much.

Hope: Oh, I know. I know that, mom. And that’s just making it even harder.

Brooke: Okay. Why don’t you just tell me what happened?

Hope: Rome happened.

Brooke: Rome was a success.

Hope: For the line, yes.

Brooke: But liam should be very proud of you, honey. What happened in rome that would make him wanna walk out on you? I mean, he wasn’t even there.

Hope: He– he was actually.

Brooke: What?

Hope: Yeah, he came and he wanted to surprise me.

Brooke: Oh, I didn’t see him there.

Rj: Just tell her. She’s not gonna judge you.

Brooke: Hope?

Hope: No, I– I never saw liam either, but I guess he– he saw me. With thomas.

Brooke: With thomas? What does he have to do with this? Oh, okay. What did thomas do now?

Steffy: We have both moved on, both remarried. I am in a relationship, one where I feel safe, loved and respected.

Liam: I don’T. I haven’t felt that way in a long time and hope never respected my wishes about her working with a damn maniac no offense.

Steffy: Offense taken. Please do not insult my brother. He has worked really hard on himself.

Liam: Okay. You’re right. I’m sorry. But honestly, how many times has thomas insulted me? How many times has he trashed me? How many times has– how many different ways has he targeted me and my marriage and my family? How much pain and suffering has he caused? How– how could hope stand to be anywhere near that? Let alone wanna– wanna touch him and kiss him. Thomas? Really? Your brother? Really? How– how could she want that? How?

Steffy: I don’t know. I– I really don’t know what to say, what I can do to comfort you, but it’s definitely not with this kiss, that I do know. I understand that you’re hurt and you feel betrayed, but that doesn’t justify turning to me. Look, I– I wanna help you through this and I will help you through this. Liam… look, I believe that you and hope will find your way back to each other. I really do. Or not. Either way, you can’t just come here and kiss me. Look, we’re always gonna be close. We’re kelly’s parents. But that is all.

Liam: Yeah.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year

Thomas: Wow. That’s coming together fast.

Ridge: Yeah. Huh? Well, maybe watching brooke, uh, model inspired me again. I don’t know.

Thomas: Oh, that’s a little weird, but keep ’em coming nonetheless.

Ridge: Thomas?

Thomas: Mm-hmm.

Ridge: Thanks again.

Thomas: For what?

Ridge: For understanding. Maybe even in your own way, supporting me and brooke getting back together.

Thomas: Well, if that is not a sign that I have changed, I don’t know what is.

Ridge: I know this isn’t easy for you, not easy for your sister, and I know it’s not easy for your mom, but I’m trying. At least hope is in a good place. It’s a start.

Brooke: Ah! I knew it. I knew thomas would be a problem. I mean, all this talk of bettering himself and working so hard to make himself a better person, going to therapy, that was all a lie. What did he do? What did he do to make liam wanna walk out on you?

Hope: He didn’t do anything, mom. It was me.

Brooke: What could you have done, sweetie?

Hope: Well, uh…

[ Chuckling ] You called it. You know, you saw it coming a million miles away that there’s just something in me, I guess, that makes me want to cross that line and I, um, I kissed the one man that could destroy everything.

[ Brooke sighing ]

Brooke: So, you kissed thomas.

Steffy: Liam, I know you don’t wanna hear this, but you gotta forgive hope. I’m not saying it’s gonna be easy. It isn’T. But you and hope have a beautiful family and you need to think about beth.

Liam: Was hope thinking about beth when she was sticking her tongue down your brother’s throat?

Steffy: Okay. Liam, you gotta figure out a way to get through this pain and forgive her.

Liam: Yeah, but I can’t, so.

Steffy: People make mistakes. We both know that.

Liam: Yeah. No, I know that. I’ve made plenty.

Steffy: Mistakes hope’s forgiven you for.

Liam: Yeah. Well, maybe she’s a better person than I am. I don’t know. But looking forward, how am I supposed to exist with thomas as a constant presence in my life and my marriage after this? And it’s not just co-parenting douglas, it’s working together with hope on the line. It’s–

Steffy: Maybe that changes. Maybe hope leaves forrester creations and thomas takes over and she can focus on your marriage and prove that she’s committed to you.

Liam: Steffy, hope is not gonna do that. And even if she did, I don’t know how it would work. I don’t know how I’d be able to trust. It– it’s just– it’s– it’s too painful given everything that thomas has done. And for her to still want to– uh, I just– I can’T. I’m done. I’m done. But I– but I didn’t mean to upset you and I am really sorry for my behavior. Kayaking is my thing.

Thomas: We are in rome.

Everything is a feast

for the eyes.

What do you wanna do?

Hope: Let’s go out and see

the city before we have to go

back to our normal

everyday lives.

You can’t leave rome without

seeing the colosseum.

I– I think this

might easily be

one of the greatest days

of my life.

Brooke: Just tell me that thomas did this, honey. He coerced you into kissing him, right?

Hope: Mom, thomas didn’t do anything. It was me. I was the one who kissed someone that I never should have. I was the one who acted irresponsibly, recklessly– [ Chuckling ] Inappropriately. I mean, that’s me, right? That’s who I’ve become now. Turning to a man that I should be disgusted by.

Brooke: Honey, is this what you want? You want a life with thomas?

Hope: No. No. I want– I want my husband. I want our life together. I want– I love him. I love our kids and I don’t know why– why I would risk losing everything. I mean, I am not proud of this, mom. I take full responsibility. This is on me and I am ashamed and I am embarrassed by it.

[ Voice breaking ] And I want more than anything to just save my marriage. I don’t wanna lose it. I don’t want to give up on it. And I don’t wanna give up on liam.

Liam: I really do mean it, steffy. I’m– I’m sorry I did that.

Steffy: I’m glad to hear that because if you think there was ever a chance that I would leave finn and go back to you… I’m married and so are you.

Liam: Not for much longer.

Steffy: Well, I’m– I’m sorry about that. I truly am, but I like my life and my marriage and I’m not changing that for anything. So my advice, go back to hope. She asked for forgiveness, right?

Liam: Yeah, she did.

Steffy: Okay. Well, go back to her. Go back to hope and your family and what happened here today and in rome, we don’t talk about that again, okay? Get outta here. Go back to your wife.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Being at the hospital with me must have been difficult, but it, it meant a lot to me. I’m glad I could be there. Not as glad as I am.

Erica, you know, I should, I should go get that food for you. You’re to look a little pal.

What the hell have I walked in on? Oh, Leo Star. I never thought I’d say this, but thank God you are here. Well, I don’t mean to kink shame, but what is going on here? Oh, well, you know, playing cops and robbers can get a little outta hand, seriously. Of, of course not you, imbecile. Our sister, Megan did this to us.

She’s held US cap down here for weeks, weeks. Oh my gosh. I knew it. I knew it. You knew? Well, I knew she was up to something, so I followed her here. Lady Whistleblower can always sniff out a good story, and you’d be surprised how more often than not my nose leads me to uncovering an underground bondage dungeon just like yours.

Oh god. All right. This isn’t a bondage dungeon, huh? Well, I should hope not. It’s not usually siblings. I find all tied up together. So why did Megan do this to you? Because we found out that she was planning on

well out with it. Handsome planning on what? Uh,

I don’t, I don’t remember.

Hey, where is the host? I mean, people are starting to get a little restless Honored. Guests welcome. Now please accept my apologies for the delay. In order to make this a really special night tonight, I had to bring a bottle of my father’s very favorite champagne. Just took me a little longer to get it than I expected, but I’m here now and I’m so glad that you are all here too.

Because there is nothing in this world more important than family is there. I am so grateful that you have all welcomed me back into your bosom,

and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to host this lovely gathering for my newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. And I just know that father is smiling down on us now. Happy to see us all together again. Well, at least most of us. Yeah, very few of us. And yes, I know that we have our differences, but we overcome them, don’t we?

That’s what families do. Well, normal family is like yours. My sister Megan, she’s an assassin. Thomas Banks had to kill us. So all those things are a little bit hard to overcome. Mm-hmm. I’m so sorry for all of the lost years that we could have spent together, but I look forward to the many, many happy years to come.

And now I want everyone to grab a glass of champagne so we can toast the happy couple, the lovely Gabriela and my charming brother Stephan. Oh my God. Harris Michaels, what the hell are you doing here?

Sorry, Kate. Commander Michaels is in accepting calls at this time. He’s under new management and Megan and Ivory, give him his first assignment. Eliminate Stephan Demara.

Sorry to interrupt the festivities, but I’m gonna need everyone to move to that side of the room right now. No sudden movements. Let’s go. I’d hate for my friend here cause I have to start barking orders. Michaels, what are you doing? I’m here to eliminate a threat. What threat? Oh my God, don’t you see? I’m the threat.

He’s here to kill me.

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

This looks delicious. Well, Harold, he did most of the work, but for the record, I did toast the toast. Oh, really? Mm-hmm. I was just gonna say how toasty the toast looks. I think you found your new calling. You know what? Drink some tea. Stay hydrated. The doctor’s orders. Okay.

Oh yeah. It’s the spot. It’s even worth all your nagging. I’m looking out for you and the baby. Yeah, only the baby’s father was so attentive. Eric, I, I, I really do appreciate your help, but EJ should be the one doing this instead of being on some secret business trip where he couldn’t even be bothered to answer his phone.

Well, I’m sure he has his reasons. Well, they’re not gonna be good enough. It’s like he’s forgotten what’s important. This baby isn’t even born yet. He’s already abandoned us.

You don’t remember? Come on. This isn’t like your locker combination, Sean, but let me think. Come on, come on, come on, come on. Ah, it’s like the memory is evaporated from my brain. I, I know something should be there, but it’s not. I, I, I dunno. What do you think? Hm? What do you think? What do I think? Hm. Um, oh, I, I think that Megan injected us with something.

She’d make us forget, forget what her plan. Uh, uh, probably, um, the thing is, is that I have no idea what, uh, what, you know, what? I, I don’t even, I don’t know any of this. I might have a vague idea. Does it have something to do with her son, Dimitri? What about it? Well, he proposed to my best friend Gwen, but I think he and mommy dearest have an ulterior motive.

Does any of that ring a bell? Oh, actually, I. It does sound familiar.

It’s all happening right upstairs. Soon Stefan will be dead. And I’ll be there to pick up the pieces for Gabby Lee.

What doing here?

Can’t you see? This man wants revenge for everything that I did to him. He even came to my house a couple of weeks ago and threatened me. Mother, why didn’t you tell me? I, I thought he was all talk that it was just a hollow threat. I didn’t realize that he was this terrain enough. No, Michaels. You wanna hurt my mother?

You’re gonna go through me first. No, Dimitri, stay outta this. Relax. I’m not here to kill either one of you. Oh, thank God. I’m here to kill Stephan.

You’re here to kill Stephan. Yeah, I don’t understand. You don’t even know me. I assure you, Mr. Damara, there’s nothing personal. I’m just following orders. Whose orders?

I can’t. Just watch him do this. We’ll call the police.

Drop it. I’m sorry.

Next person I see with the phone will not get a warning. Is that understood?

This can go one of two ways. Everybody can do as they’re told and survive the night, or I can take out as many people as I have to to complete my mission. Okay. You said earlier you were eliminating a threat. How am I a threat to you? Isn’t it obvious, Stephan? I mean, who would consider you a threat?

No. Yeah. It has to be EJ who, who’s conveniently not at this party, who’s been plotting against you this entire time, who would be crazy enough to hire this lunatic to take you out. Is that true? Did my brother hire you? Answer me, dammit.

Fine. If you must know

it wasn’t ej I. And who, who are you working for?

The man who wants you dead is Lee Chen. What? What?

I didn’t hear you sneak up on me. Oh, I’m not sneaking up on anyone. I’m just trying to go to my sister’s engagement party. Running a little late, aren’t you? Yeah. Well, things have been a little hectic down at the station. Of course, I heard about Mayor Carver. I’m so sorry. Uh, you still haven’t answered to my question.

What are you doing lurking about? No one’s lurking, but I was just, uh, passing through. Yeah. Seemed a little nervous to be just passing through. I’m not, you were thinking about going up there. Weren’t you crashing the party, creating a scene?

Fine. You got me. Commissioner Guilty’s charged.

Okay. Okay. I was right. Lady. Whistleblower strikes again. Megan and her son aren’t just using Gwen, but why? I, I, I don’t remember. Damn it. Woman. What you think? Don’t get your hands off of you. Little creep. Listen, you’re friends with Gwen too, don’t you wanna help her? Something tells me that my sister’s plan is a lot more sinister than manipulating your friend.

I, I feel like it’s more high stakes, like it’s life or death. Are you saying Gwen is in danger? I feel like someone else is the main target. Like who? I don’t know. It’s just a gut feeling. Oh my God, you two are useless. Oh no. You know who is useless. You found us ages ago and you still haven’t UNT yet. It would help if you asked nicely unless you wanna fully commit to your non day plume lady.

I suggest you untie us now. I even say, please, no. Hey,

I’m sorry. I am sure the last thing you wanna hear is me complaining about ej. It’s okay. I mean, you have every right to be angry. Look, you, you, you should go. Don’t feel obligated to stay it. I don’t feel obligated. And you know what? You shouldn’t be alone right now. No, I, I told you the cramps turned out to be nothing trip.

And the ob g y n said that I’m fine. And so is the baby besides Harold’s here if I need anything. Are you sure? I’m sure.

All right. Okay, thanks. Listen, thanks again. I, I am grateful. That I can still count on You always.

I can’t do this. I’m with ej.

Hi. Yeah. Well then where is he?

I’m sorry, I, I’m sorry. I just, I felt that old pool between us and those old feelings of being abandoned and worthless. Okay. You shouldn’t feel either. And he jay’s a jackass for doing this to you. And if that baby were mine,

I’m sorry. That’s not helpful.

That’s okay. You would’ve been the perfect father

and you still can be if things work out with you. And Sloane,

thank you for saying that. It’s the truth.

Speaking of which, I have some hard truths to face with EJ if I ever see him again. That is, And if I do or when I do, I don’t know if I can forgive him for this disappearing when I need him the most. I am gonna kill when I right there. Oh, Nicole. Thank God, ej,

we put you up to this. Is that so hard to believe? Apparently the guy still has something for you. And, and that maniac thinks that killing my fiance is the way to win bad my love. I believe it’s more of a, if I can’t have her then good job. Ralph Harris is convinced he’s working solely for Lee. Just as I planned, we’re we’re just as supposed to believe a crazy man with a gun.

Look, I know my brother and he would never hire someone to kill Stephan. He’s not a murderer. He did pull the plug on me when I was in a coma that was different. Okay. Making a split second mistake is a whole lot different than plotting to murder someone in cold blood because he says something you, you know, that’s not Lee.

Well, Stefan’s, right? Lee has a history of trying to eliminate his competition by any means necessary, but my brother has accepted that you moved on Gabby. I mean, he didn’t even fight to the divorce. He let you go. Wendy. Wendy, when we ran into Lee earlier tonight, he insisted you not come to this party.

That was just. About loyalty to him. Yeah. Boy, he didn’t want you getting caught up in the crossfire.

Lee, you need to stay away from this party. Do you hear me? Do you understand you have caused Gabby enough pain already? I know you’re right. I, it’s just, it’s just what Lee, I ran into my sister and Johnny Damara as they were headed in, and Gabby and Stephan, and honestly I tried to be happy for them, but seeing them, knowing what’s going on in there, I just can’t get it outta my head.

What could have been. I loved your sister so much. I still do. Okay. I hear you and I understand because I have been in a similar situation myself, but what you need to understand is what you and Gabby had before it is over. You need to accept that.

You can’t just willow away feelings brave. Sure you know that even now. Right now, knowing how happy they are up there just breaks my heart.

So it’s true. Lee put you up to this. Why would I lie? What the hell happened to, to turning your life around wanting redemption for all of the terrible things that you, this isn’t you, is it? You’ve been brainwashed again. This time by Lee Shin. No, you’re right. Chad Lee’s done this before. He, he brainwashed han into forgetting that he loved me and now he’s brainwashed hairs into becoming his assassin.

Owens Town hasn’t been brainwashed. Ah, it’s sort of a thing here. Just wait until somebody pulls off a Mission Impossible style mask. Mid party crash. Right? Shut up, everyone. Shut up. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

All I know is I have orders from Lee to kill you.

It’s about that time.

Aj, you’re here. Yes. Thank God I’m here with you. Um, when did you get back in town? I never left. What? Megan locked me in the tunnel. Hey, hey. US, us struck us in the tunnels. Okay. Why would she do that? We don’t know, but we’re pretty sure she gave us something that’s affecting our memories. Good God. How did you escape?

Well, I mean, thankfully Leo Stark found us and he set us free. Leo Stark? Yeah. What was he doing down there? No idea. I don’t remember.

Ah, Megan must be using this as her base of operations, so there has got to be something down here.

Oh my Gaga, jackpot pot. This is the good stuff. Ancestral wealth tear bubbly. No legal focused. No. Today you are a hero. You have got to find proof that Dimitri is up to no good. It’s the only way to stop going from getting hurt. Okay?

No. Oh, I can’t watch Michael’s. Michaels. Michaels. Just stop. All right. You don’t wanna do this. Orders are orders. But you don’t have to follow them. Whatever Lee did to you, Michaels fight it. Do not listen to Lee’s voice in your head. Michaels, you listen to your own. Okay? Deep down, you know this is wrong.

Think about that time that you set that bomb off at my apartment in Seattle. You felt terrible about that after you broke free from the brainwashing. You hated Megan for doing that to you. Um, how about we don’t remind the man with the gun how much he hates me? Please, please don’t let me make you do this.

You’re not a murderer. Um, actually, technically he is a murderer. I read his case and there were several instances where. Sorry, I have an idea. Let, let me get Lee on the phone and you know what? You probably think I’m gonna call 9 1 1. You get him on the phone and let me just talk to him right now. I can talk him out of this.

Please, please.

Thanks Ray. As much as I’m hurting, Hoda just made it worse. Humiliating myself at Gabby and Seven’s party. Nah, I’m glad you stopped me. I didn’t do it for you. Well, either way, you helped me and I appreciate it and I promise I’m headed straight home. Good. Give my congratulations to the happy couple.

Fair enough. Goodnight Lee.

Hopefully by the time you get up there, it’ll be too late. The job will have been completed.

Please let me call Lee. I I can straighten this up. Drop the phone, but Gabby’s right, she and I can make my brother realize what a mistake this is just two minutes. I said drop the phone right now, Gabby. Just do what he says. But Gabby,

I didn’t, I didn’t want to hurt Lee. Okay. Just my, my heart belongs to Stephan. He’s the only person that’s ever understood me, the real me. Everything I am and love me for it, not in spite of it. So if you shoot him, then you have to shoot me too, Gabby. Yes, please. I cannot live without him. Okay. I can’t. I can’t.

So please, I’m telling you, please don’t do this. Please don’t. I’m sorry, but I have no choice.

What happened?

Mother,

you shot me.

There’s just so much blood. Um, it’s okay. Um. I’m, I’m gonna go get help. Just keep putting pressure on it. Okay. I’ll be back. Hang on.

Why haven’t I heard from Megan? Steph should be good and dead by now.

Kevin, what are you doing here? Are you supposed to be your engagement party? I was there. I was there, and then Harris Michael showed up and killed Stephan. Oh my God. He didn’t hurt you, did he? No. You must be devastated. I was at first. Then I realized, Harry said me a favor. Did you A, did you a favor? What do you mean?

I thought, I love Stephan. But now that he’s gone, I realize you’re the only man ever truly loved. Wait, wait, wait. Don’t you need time to mourn? I can mourn Stephan tomorrow to tonight. I want you to rish me.

Hurry home to me, Gabby. You gotta let me go. I get a job to do him sit. Michael said that Lee ordered him to kill Stephan. We suspected, uh, that Lee brainwashed him. Lee dammit saw Lee outside. He was staring up here. Yeah, I thought he was going to come up here and wreak havoc and make a fool of himself.

Obviously it was much worse.

Okay. Um, the paramedics are on their way. She’s still unconscious. Okay. Don’t give up hope. Okay. She’s soon gonna get the help she needs. Mm-hmm. Hey, You all right.

Okay. Let’s get you outta here. Let’s go. Come on. How were you thinking going after him? Like that you could have gotten yourself killed. No, he was trying to kill you. You and he’s, how about thank you for saving my life. You were amazingly brave. You’re my hero. You Thank you for saving my life. And you are amazingly brave, but please.

Don’t do something that reckless ever again. No. I had to stop him. I couldn’t lose you. Not again. It’s okay. It’s okay now. He tried to keep us apart again and he failed again. Nothing can separate us. You and I, were gonna get married. We’re gonna have a long, wonderful life together and Lee is gonna pay for this and so is everybody else who helped him out.

So Megan held you to prisoner this whole time evil sadistic bitch, but you texted me. No, no, I, I did not. How I wish I could have, it must have been Megan using my phone obviously. Well, that explains why you didn’t answer my calls,

ej. I, I thought you abandoned me and the baby. Nicole. Nicole, I will never abandon you. You and this baby mean everything to me. You hear me? Everything.

Did you meet with a specialist? I did. And. She thinks that I can carry this baby to term. Oh my God, that’s wonderful news. That’s wonderful news. After all these years, we’re finally going to have a child together.

Mm.

I feel so much better after that shower. It helped clear some of the fogginess outta my head. Hey Jay, we really should have a doctor take a look at you. I mean, Megan’s drugs could have some side effects. We will. But first I want to address the elephant in the room. What do you mean? I think you know, Eric, what about him?

What was he doing here? Well, trust me, he came over for a very good reason, and, and we will talk about that, just not now. Okay. The, but the point is it, it was a blessing in disguise because I got some cramping. He took me to the hospital and, and everything’s fine. Everything’s fine. But Eric wanted to stay because, well, you, you weren’t around so I disappeared.

You thought the worst of me, that I didn’t care about you all. Al child, and you turned to Eric. No, it’s not how it went. Ej, you know how I feel about you. Do I, I mean, a few weeks ago I told you that I love you and you, you haven’t set it back.

I know, and I’m sorry. And when I think about how Megan could have killed you, I realize that I,

I do. I I love you.

You look skeptical. I, I just feel like I might have talked you into saying that. No, I pressured you. I hate to No, you, you didn’t. I, I, I said it because I feel it. You are the father of my child and the man I wanna be with. And if you don’t believe me, And maybe this will convince you, oh, I’m here. Mm-hmm.

Yes. I, I would like to report a kidnapping. Uh, my brother and I, ugh, ugh. My wicked witch of a sister. Actually, no. I, I don’t remember how it happened. No, no, no, no. I’m not kidding. Why would I joke about something so serious? You know, I just, just hold on. I, my brother. DJ.

Well, so much for being boy’s hero. At least I got this lovely souvenir. Uh, I just wish those two bozos could remember what Megan and Dimitri are up to. So I could tell my poorly diluted BFF before it’s too late. She would dump that miserable SOB and never look back.

Dimitri. Yeah. How’s your mom? They managed to keep her stable in the ambulance, and then they just rushed her straight into surgery as soon as we got here. When she just, she, she looked so pale. She, she was so fragile. Listen to me. She cheated death once, didn’t she? Mm-hmm. She’s, she’s gonna do it again.

Thank you. Thank you for your support. I’m sure you want to get home and I, I totally understand Dave. No, no, I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying here.

You have to let me go. It’s not gonna happen. I promise. Ray, if I’d look after you until back up. A squad car just pulled up. Police should be here any minute. I have a mission to complete. Michael’s the mission’s over. You failed

Dr. Ralphs handy work. Yeah, I’d bet. Good money on it. Poor guy. Can’t catch a break. First, he’s brainwashed by Megan. Now, lay shin.

I can’t believe my brother did something so crazy when I, uh, when I lost Chanel to my sister, I was so desperate to get her back. I almost did something very underhanded. Did you brainwash a Navy seal to kill Allie? No, of course not. You’re not a criminal heartless bastard with no conscience.

There’s no excuse for the horrible, unforgivable thing my brother did, none at all, and now he’s going have to face the consequences.

What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be at your engagement party? I was there, but it ended early when Harris Michael showed up with a gun. What? Why? To kill Stephan. Oh my God, Gabby, I’m so sorry. Poor Stephan. I Lee. Don’t bury me just yet. Stephan. Thank God you’re okay. Drop the act. You son of a bitch.

I have to go. What? Act please. Chin. You go under arrest for the attempted murder of Stephan Damira.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Damn it.

Just not according to your plan.

You didn’t kill him, did you? Is he all right? Of course I didn’t kill him, but since he’s already broken free from your control once I had to administer an especially intense regimen, so you can rest Assured Commander Michaels will be doing only your bidding from now on. Are you sure that he’s ready for the job that I need him to do tonight?

Don’t you worry, this will be your brother Stefan’s last night on earth.

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Well, I am so glad that I ran into you both. Nice to meet you, and that I could extend the invitation. Oh. Like I said, it’ll be a little weird for me to be there since it’s almost Gabby’s sister-in-law, but I am really happy for her and for Stephan, so I’m glad that we can celebrate their engagement. Yeah.

Yeah, me too. Great. Very generous of you both. And it means a lot to my mother. She’s trying to do something nice for them, but, uh, well, to be honest with you, the attendance on the Demer side is looking a little thin. Well, we’ll help with that. The more the merrier. Right.

You’ll find out soon enough.

Ah. Thank you.

I hope you’re not planning on spending the evening drinking all night. That’s the current plan. Unless you can finagle me an invitation to the party or a press pass at least. I’m sorry, my darling lady whistleblower is just going to have to have the night off. Dimitri’s hoping for a very romantic evening and I don’t want you spoiling it.

Me spoil a good time. Never. I’m constitutionally incapable. No. Yes. I used to think that, but now I think you are constitutionally incapable of trusting anyone, giving anyone the benefit of the doubt. Oh, right. How disappointing that I don’t trust a guy who meets you beds, you and wants to put a ring on it in 24 hours.

Come on, Gwenny. Even I don’t move that fast. Okay, Matty, I hope you don’t take this the wrong way, but the past few months we’ve been commiserating. Have we not been losers in love and now my Prince charming has literally fallen into my lap while you are still a loser. No. I never said that. Oh, that’s what you meant.

No, it’s not. I’m just, I’m saying that while I’ve had this wonderful bit of luck, I know that you haven’t, and I’m wondering if perhaps you’re just a wee bit jealous.

Gwen Ek. Yikes. Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Are he? Oh, Chad Damara is gonna be there. Look at that. Well, at least a few Damara will be in attendance, huh? Yeah. Well, wife’s the only one from my side that’s coming and he’s so busy working Abe car’s space. He said he, he’s only gonna be able to stop by.

This probably gonna suck. No. Impossible. Yes. You’re gonna be there. I’m gonna be there. And I plan on having a grand old time celebrating us. Our love and the fact that you and I are suing the husband and wife again. You’re right. No, you’re right. Yes. Us being there together, that’s all that matters. That’s right.

No offense, but Nicole’s the least of our problems at this moment. Oh my God. I am starving. I’m starting to contemplate cannibalism. Well, I suppose that is the demure way. I can’t believe my sister did this to me.

Oh, and you, of course. I cannot think how this is gonna end. Okay, Emma, Kristen, don’t go there again. How can I not, how can I not? There’s no reason for her to keep us alive, is there.

He hardly looks like a man prepared to carry out an assassination. Later tonight. The procedure was taxing, but I’m confident. Commander Michaels, who will be ready. He better be father would roll over in his grave if Stephan handed his entire legacy to that conniving. Gabby Hernandez. Demira should be mine.

There’s only one fly in the ointment. Well, two actually. DJ and Kristen. I can hardly take out the entire family, but if I let them go, they’ll turn me into the authorities and they’ll ruin everything that I’ve planned. Don’t you have faith in me by now, Megan?

I know how to ensure that won’t happen.

Why on earth would I be jealous? Just because you’re being wooed and proposed to by a rich, gorgeous guy with a magic penis. Oh God sake, Matthew, we really going there again. You never denied he had one. That’s because you made a very stupid lewd joke, which I was trying to forget about, but since you won’t drop it, yes, Dimitri and I are quite compatible physically.

And also he has a magic penis. Oh God. Can you just stay on topic please? What was the topic again that you are for no apparent reason. Quite jealous and still very suspicious of Dimitri even though we have obviously ruled out that it’s not money or reputation laundering or, or he’s not marrying me for a green card.

So what are his ulterior motives? I mean, what other possible option is there? Health insurance. He’s from Europe. Health insurance is free, really, even for Botox and fillers. I’m pretty sure that you have to pay for that everywhere. But look, just consider this, will you? It could be quite simple for Dimitri that perhaps it was just not at first sight.

Hmm. I mean, you know that’s possible, don’t you? Even for friends. I knew that when I first saw you, I loved you and that I always would, fuck. I just made my heart go pitter powder. Yes. Well, I meant it.

Okay. Maybe you’re right. Uh, come again. Sorry. Do, do my ears deceive me. Did I actually just hear you say that I am right? No, I said maybe. And maybe I am a teensy bit jealous that you have found your prince charming, as you say, whereas nobody’s even flirted with me in the last millennium. Oh, come on.

That’s not true. And that’s how it feels. But petty jealousy aside, Lord, I am still certain that magic penis guy is up to something. Ah.

You’re right, of course. The more the merrier. See you at the bistro. Yes. Yes, we will. It should be a great celebration.

You know, I, I was surprised that, that we even wanted to go to the party. Well, Gabby is the closest thing I’ve ever had to a sister, and I don’t think she holds what happened between her and my brother against me, or even against him. I just, I think, I hope that she understands that Lee kind of lost his mind when Stephan came back.

Yeah. He knew he was gonna lose Gabby. Right. And so he did a lot of things. He regrets now. I mean, he was just trying so hard to hold onto her because he loved her so much.

Now I’m really glad he’s finally come to his senses and realized he has to move on.

Hey, you two. Hi. Hi. Hi. It’s good to see you. Hello. Overdressed for the pub though, aren’t you? Oh, no, we’re not. Uh, we’re not having dinner here tonight. We just wanted to stop by and see how you’re doing. Me too. Hey. I know you guys are close. I know, I, the, the whole thing is so terrible. I just, I mean, I still can’t believe it, you know, I just haven’t processed it really?

Yeah, we haven’t either. It’s just so awful and sad. Feels kind of wrong to be going to a party. Yeah. So Stefan and Gabby’s engagement party, I didn’t want to go, but, uh, you know, my sister Megan, she can be. Consistent. Megan, you know, I still don’t know why Megan was so Help Ben on throwing us this party.

Who cares? Party’s a party. True. I guess we could give her the benefit of the doubt. Assume she means well, I think she is capable of that as long as she’s not being a power hungry bitch on wheels. Right. Well, I guess I should get ready. Uh, you know, actually, I do need some help getting into my dress. Yeah.

Yeah. Mm-hmm. I’m your man.

Nicole, look at me. Look at me. Everything is gonna be okay. You’re not gonna lose this baby. You don’t know that Eric, Nicole, look, the, the cramps, they’re coming in less frequently. You’re not spotting, are you? All right, then well listen. You heard what the OB said. She said the most important thing for you and your baby’s health is just to try and relax.

Well, I can’t relax. I’ve been down this road too many times. This is nothing like what’s happened in the past. The cramps are coming in less frequently. You’re not spotting what? What is with that look? It’s just that you’re being so kind and and caring, and this isn’t even your baby. And after what happened with Jada, Eric, I, Hey, hey, hey, stop.

Listen to me. Don’t you know by now I care about you. Even with all the ups and downs that we’ve been through, I’m not going anywhere. Okay. I’m sorry that ejs not here for you right now, but I am.

I’m all for finding a way out of here, but it feels like we’ve tried everything. Got any new ideas? Well, if I had Susan’s teeth, I could knock through these ropes. Look. I don’t think we’re in imminent danger. If Megan wanted to kill us, she would’ve done it already. Well, maybe she is just waiting for the right time.

She has no qualms about killing Stephan. Why not us two?

CRS 17. Who’s a rescue? Oh, Ralph, you’re a genius. If Kristen and EJ can’t remember that I kidnapped them or admitted that I planned to kill Stephan, then I am free and clear. Can you make them forget that? And only that I’ve gotten a lot of practice with this drug in recent years. How much they forget is dosage dependent.

We should be able to wake out the last week or two with very little problem. Excellent. So I have a little bit of time before the party if you hand me that dose. I’ll take care of them on my way.

Now that is something to celebrate.

See you there, commander. You better not let me down this time.

Eric, I, I, I appreciate you being here for me, but it is a lot to ask. You didn’t ask. I still, I just, I, I just feel like, like, like what? Like I don’t deserve to be comforted. Like I’m being punished. Nicole, stop it. There’s a lot of things about my faith that I question. That’s not one of them. God doesn’t punish people by scaring ’em this way.

That’s not how it works.

Look, I’m gonna go see what’s keeping the dog there. All right? So I just want you to relax. I’ll be right back.

God,

don’t wait up. Okay. Gwynnie promise me this, if dreamy Dimitri pressures you to accept his proposal tonight, you will at least call me first. Why, so you can talk me out a bit? No. So you can see if I dug anything up. Oh God. Matty, please. Can you just give it a rest? I mean, whatcha are you gonna find in three hours anyway?

Are you kidding me? The next three hours are perfect for finding things out. All the de mirrors will be out tonight. It is the ideal time for me to swing by the mansion, nose around a bit, look for clues. Who knows? I may even get a story out of it. Oh yeah, you’ll definitely find clues. That place is murder mayhem central.

But if you are looking for dimitri’s ulterior motive, it doesn’t matter how hard you look. Because there isn’t one We’ll see about that. I can’t possibly suck in any more than this. No, that’s, that’s not the problem. I just can’t get it up. Well, I beg to differ. I, I’m talking about the zipper. Right? And you know what, maybe, maybe this is a sign.

A sign meaning, meaning that, uh, maybe instead of. Putting clothes on. You should be taking clothes off. I like the way things, yeah,

don’t worry about Kate. I’ll take care of her next. I just wanna make certain, none of this will be traced back to us, but stop worrying. Lee. Commander Michaels is firmly back on my team. So he’ll take Stefan out at the party tonight and then you’ll be free to move on with Gabby and we’ll both get what we want.

Pleasure doing business with you.

Hey This’s, your uh, brother. Hey Lee. Hey, I see Case you never dress up. Oh, we got a last minute invite to a party, not Gabby and Stephan’s engagement party. Well, yes, as a matter of fact, no, I I don’t want you to go.

Wait, what did, what did you just say about Megan? Just that she insisted that, um, that we go to that, uh, a party. And I, I still hate her for what she did do. In fact, out of all the people that are gonna be there, I hate 90% of them, but 90% of the time. Okay. Yeah. I just, when exactly did she, um, send that invitation?

Oh, a little while ago. Why is something wrong, wrong? No, no. I, I just tried to avoid her at all costs. Well, then I’d stay away from the bistro for the next few hours cause she’s hosting. If you want, we can give her your fondest regards. Hmm.

Don’t look at me like that father. I’m only doing what’s best for the entire family. And as for Stephan, you never even knew he existed. And honestly, I don’t think you would’ve liked him very much. Oh, he’s so easily manipulated by that woman. Very weak. No, I don’t think you’ll be shedding any tears over this.

Whatever you are,

mother, what are you doing?

Kate, are you sure? You’re all right? No, I’m fine. I’m fine. I just, uh, I just despise the woman, you know, not to mention her son. They deviance both of them. I’m really sorry for what they put you through. Hello? It’s all over now. Nice to you. In fact, I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for you. I’m damn grateful You are.

Okay. Uter, you have a party to go to, right? Yeah. We should go. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Sooner we get there the sooner we can leave. Mm-hmm. Right. We’ll have fun, okay? Okay. It’s gonna be lit. No, you take care, Kate. Yeah, you too.

Finally changed your ringtone, huh? Yeah. What You’re not gonna answer. It is just spam. Probably someone wanting to offer me an extended auto warranty. Yeah, dude, I, I get those all the time. Right. Well, you were just about to tell us why don’t you want us to go to the party? What I should think it’d be obvious, Stephan humiliating me of me to be brutally honest.

It’s very embarrassing,

but if you really want to go, I know you’re very fond of Gabby, so Yeah, we are. Just promise me that you’ll watch your back. You never know what can happen in a room full of Demaris. No offense not taken. I know exactly what you mean.

Mm-hmm. Thank you. Stuck zipper. Thank you. But you know, we better get, move on or we’re gonna be late to a party. Or maybe, and I’m just spit balling here. Maybe we don’t go, you know, everybody else is sent along their regrets. Maybe we should do the same.

Oh, I was just going down to get a few bottles of Christophe for the party tonight, huh? Well, it’d also been up to, I’ve texted about a dozen times. I know, sweetheart, I’m sorry. I’ve just been so busy planning everything for the party. There’s so many little details, but tell me. Has she accepted your proposal?

No, not yet. Only because we have been rudely interrupted by her Weasley, overprotective little roommate. Damn it. She needs to accept that proposal. Yes, I know mother, but she has agreed to come to the party tonight and I’m sure that all of this engagement, excitement will be contagious. I am very confident that I’ll be able to persuade her to accept this evening.

You’d better be confident. I’m sure I don’t need to remind you about the small fortune that’s ATS stake. Mother, you really don’t.

I’ll see you there tonight. Can’t wait.

Well,

well, uh, the doctor said that the baby’s fine. That’s great. So what caused the cramps? Uh, something called round ligament pain. I, I don’t know, I, I’ve never heard of it before, but apparently it’s normal, so I, I just need to take it easy. Stay hydrated, and now I just, You like an idiot, Nicole, you’re not an idiot.

Oh God. God, of course you panicked. You’ve had a rough history with things like this in the past. Just I’m relieved that the baby’s okay.

You and me both. I’m sure you’re just gonna feel the same way when he gets back from wherever he’s

well. I’d be an idiot if I wasn’t a little worried about what made my do to us since she’s already done this, but I’m much more worried about what she might have already done to Stephan. Relax. I haven’t done anything to Stephan, thank God. But now that I have all my duckies in a row, He’ll be dead within the hour.

Please look at you would’ve been a crappy idea to skip our engagement party. Uh, you’re right. I mean, yeah. This is the best of both worlds. We get to sip on some champagne, those yummy puff pastries, hang out with, uh, all these people that we love, fawning all over us, pretending to like us, and then we get to go home and spend the rest of the night in bed together.

Oh, I love that last part. Me too. Definitely. Hello? Oh, hello Lee. I just, uh, ran into my sister and she said she’s on her way to your engagement party. I’d like to offer my congratulations. Thank you, Lee. That’s very kind of you. Well, I just want Gabby to be happy. I want the same for you, Lee. You all right?

Apart from the obvious weirdness seem a little edgy. Who, uh, me? No, not, not at all. I just hope that your evening is every bit as lovely as you deserve it to be.

I just heard Megan throwing a party tonight. How is that possible? You said she was taken care of. Now I’m not sure what’s going on, so I guess I’m going to my own eyes.

Hope you don’t get caught in a crossfire, Kate.

What do you mean? Stephan will be dead within the hour? Exactly what I said. I am throwing an engagement party for Stephan and Gabby tonight, and this is the exciting part. Dr. Rolfe has worked his magic on my man. Commander Harris. Michaels. Wait. Dr. Rolls is back. Oh, keep up. Ej. Yes, he’s back. And so tonight, commander Michaels Navy Seal and MAL trained assassin is gonna do the deed and kill Stephan in front of all of his friends and family gathered, except for you two Of course.

Oh, Kristen, you’re such a drama queen. No, of course not. I’m not gonna kill the two of you. I don’t think father would be very happy about that. Megan, listen. Listen, if you, if you let us go, we swear, sorry, that we will not implicate. You will say nothing about any of this, right? And your word is your bond, isn’t it?

What the hell is that? CRS 17. Ring any bells? Ralph tried to inject your son with it in Jakarta to raise his memory. Good boy, you do remember, but you won’t soon. Now, don’t worry. As soon as this drug takes full effect, I’ll be back for you. Okay? So listen. Let’s just try and make this as quick and easy as possible.

Okay.

I’m in the mansion. I walked right in through an unlocked door. Apparently Damira security is at Mar-a-Lago levels. Probably shouldn’t print that for the world to see. Dateline 6:00 PM I couldn’t overhear the conversation between Count Dracula and his creepy mother, but given how shocked Megan was when I came through at the tunnels the other day, I am certain they’re hiding something down there.

And I will bet whatever it is, will shed some light on how those two are conspiring to screw over. My best friend.

Hey. Hey, uncle Chad. Oh my God, thank God. Actually, would you, Mike? Yeah. Family member. I actually know. And Blake? Yeah. Back at you. Uh, do you guys know Wendy? Oh, we haven’t met yet, but I have heard a lot about you from trip. Oh. Oh, don’t worry. It’s all good. Um, in fact, what, um, he mentioned that you two might be dating, but nevermind obviously, um, given that you two are on a date right now, I shouldn’t have said No, no, no, no.

It’s okay. Uh, actually trip and I. We did have a date earlier today, so we’re, we’re calling, uh, just to be, we’re calling this a date, no? Yep. Uh, none of our business. Um, Wendy, Johnny, I hope you have a fun night. Yeah. Good evening everyone. Have you all met Gwen Rizek? Yeah, we’ve met. Not only is she my beautiful date for the evening, but I’m also hoping that tonight she might do me the honor of accepting my wedding proposal.

No, sorry, what? Did you guys know each other from Europe? No, actually we didn’t, Tim. Well, Yes, it is true Gwen and I just recently met, but, uh, we both agree that we share a very deep connection on, on many levels and hope that you all can be happy for us. I guess not. Mm-hmm. It’s all right, Dimitri. We don’t need anyone’s approval, do we?

Oh, good. Because, um, we’re not gonna get it from me.

Look, everyone, for people who hate us and each other there, you see, I told you we should have stayed home. Hmm.

Ah, command Michaels. You’re back, sir. What’s going on? You have a very important mission to carry out. Do you remember what.

Oh my goodness. I’m over here. Right here. Okay. Sit down. Thank you. Yeah. And comfy? Yes. All right. Um. I’m gonna get you some water or some, would you like some soup, baby? Don’t go

listen, I, I just wanna say I know it, it must have been difficult for you to be in the hospital with me and I just want you to know it means a lot. I’m just glad I could be there for you. Not as glad as I am.

Damn it should. I’m slipping away by now. My, my memories. I’m trying, but I can’t do it. I can’t hold me neither. Oh my God. How, how, how do we help Stephan now? Oh,

OMG guys. Wtf.

Oh. Cue face, Megan. Hello Kate. Lovely to see you. Do I smell fish? I can’t believe it. Sorry. I’d love to stay in chat, but I’m late for a very important date. Mission accomplished my ass.

How’s it going? It is, as I said, it would be. Commander Michaels is like a heat seeking missile singularly focused on destroying his target, but only the target. My sister at that party press assured my boy Michaels is programmed only to harm. Stephan

keep thinking though, won’t everyone suspect Megan immediately? I mean, she brainwashed Michaels before, so yes, I took care of that. I just hope you didn’t let him go before he was fully ready. Remember the disaster was Stephan. Rest assured my boy. My work may be experimental in nature, but the procedure is complete when you will be a happy beneficiary.

Yes, yes. Steph will be gone. Gabby will be mine again, and this time my hands will be completely clean. Hey, where is the host? I mean, people are starting to get a little restless honored. Guests welcome now. Please accept my apologies for the delay in order to make this a really special night tonight. I had to bring a bottle of my father’s very favorite champagne.

Just took me a little longer to get it than I expected, but I’m here now and I’m so glad that you are all here too, because there is nothing in this world more important than family is there. I am so grateful. But you have all welcomed me back into your bosom,

and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to host this lovely gathering for my newfound brother and his gorgeous bride to be. And I just know that father is smiling down on us now. Happy to see us all together again. Whoa. At least most of us. Yeah, very few of us. And yes, I know that we have our differences, but we overcome them, don’t we?

That’s what families do. Well, normal families like yours. My sister Megan, she’s an assassin. Thomas Banks had to kill us, so all those things are a little bit hard to overcome. Mm-hmm. I am so sorry for all of the lost years that we could have spent together, but I look forward to the many, many happy years to come.

And now I want everyone to grab a glass of champagne so we can toast the happy couple, the lovely Gabriela and my charming brother Stephan. Oh my God. Paris Michaels. What the hell are you doing here?

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Summer: Good, you’re here already. My mom texted me. She said that she saw you.

Michael: Yes, um, you want some breakfast? My treat.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: No, thank you. I just want to hear about my mom, I mean, what happened? Where is she? What is she going to do?

Michael: Uh, if you don’t mind, I’m going to take those one at a time. Um, as to what happened, I was expecting lauren for a romantic rendezvous and, uh, phyllis knocked on the door instead.

Summer: How did she look? Is she okay?

Michael: She’s stressed. She’s tired from being on the run. She’s very concerned about you.

Summer: Okay, but what– what happened? What did– what did she say?

Michael: We had a very productive talk about her options. She ate all the chocolate covered strawberries and then she left.

Summer: That’s it? She didn’t say where she’s been hiding or where we could find her?

Michael: I’m sorry, she did not.

Summer: But in her text, she said that she might have found a way out of this mess. I mean, is that true? Could she come home soon?

[ Knocking on door ]

Sharon: Who’s there?

Nick: It’s nick. Morning.

Sharon: New job, delivery man?

Nick: Oh, yeah, nick’s courier service. On time or we keep it.

[ Sharon laughing ]

Sharon: Like it. How’s your first day on leave?

Nick: Not great, not loving it, but what choice do I have?

Sharon: Well, you want some coffee? Although, you seem a little amped up already.

Nick: Yeah, I’m just trying to figure out what I’m gonna do with the rest of my day. You know, I can deliver you this, which was left for you at the gate.

Sharon: Um, I’m sure that’s just my shampoo, you should set it right there. Actually, I do need some help this morning with this. I just don’t have the skills, and you were always so good at this.

Nick: Happy to be of service.

[ Sharon chuckling ] All right.

Jack: You’re thinking what I am? That what happened yesterday should never have happened? Ultomiris is for adults with generalized myasthenia gravis

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by… with a smooth clean shave,

Nick: Thank you.

Sharon: Mm-hmm.

Nick: You know, I always did love that necklace.

Sharon: Well, you gave it to me a million years ago.

Nick: Well, I have excellent taste.

Sharon: You do. You know, you didn’t have to come here and check on me. Which I know is the reason why you’re here. I’m fine. Just like I was last night when we spoke on the phone.

Nick: Well, you did that thing where you politely blow me off because you don’t want me to worry about you, so I figured the best thing I can do is just crash your place and eyeball you and see how you’re doing. So, how are you?

Sharon: Um, it’s a little intense sometimes. Little noises or flashes of light just send me right back into the nightmare.

[ Sharon sighing ] Cameron kidnapped faith. He wanted to kill us. And then I remember to breathe and relax and everything’s okay. We’re okay, it’s over. Have you talked to faith?

Nick: Yeah, she was my first phone call this morning. Uh, she sounds good, you know? She’s happy to be back with her friends. She sounds strong. Wish my other daughter was just as great. I–

Sharon: What’s going on with summer?

Nick: Have you heard that phyllis is alive and on the run?

Sharon: Yes, I have heard that.

Nick: Well, not surprisingly, she has dragged summer into her drama and now it’s blowing up her marriage.

Sharon: Phyllis is a firestorm. Anybody who tries to stop her or tries to help her ends up getting burned, and far too often it is someone she loves. But I’m glad that summer has you.

Nick: Yeah, I have lots of time to worry about her and sally and you and faith now.

Sharon: So, this leave of absence?

Nick: All victoria. I told her it wasn’t necessary, but she insisted.

Sharon: For how long?

Nick: Seems indefinite.

Sharon: Okay, well, being that it’s your sister, I have to assume that she’s just concerned about you and everything that you’ve been dealing with.

Nick: I have a feeling her concern isn’t very sisterly.

Sharon: Well, you can always come back to work at the coffee house.

[ Both laughing ] No one was ever as good as you are at refilling those sugar dispensers.

Nick: Oh, that is a tempting offer.

Sharon: And I’ll throw in all the free coffee you can drink.

Nick: Okay.

Sharon: You know what? I have to get to work.

Nick: Yeah.

[ Sharon grunting ]

Sharon: Hey. This isn’t my shampoo. This is from an out-of-state law firm. That doesn’t sound good.

Kyle: Which part shouldn’t have happened?

Jack: The division of this family. Traci had to stage an intervention to stop immediate warfare. I don’t know how successful she was. I think at best we have a temporary detente.

Kyle: Well, détentes are overrated.

Jack: Kyle, I understand your pain. That phyllis would use her daughter to help her out of this mess of her own making. That she would force summer to choose between her husband and her mother. It’s just more damage to this family courtesy of that woman and her hatred.

Kyle: Summer was no victim. She was right in step with her mother. She chose phyllis over and over. Saw my mother get charged with murder, saw us in pain, still, she did nothing.

Jack: Summer made a mistake.

Kyle: It wasn’t that long ago that she was furious at me because I lied to her about working with victor to get adam out of jabot.

Jack: Yeah, that I remember quite well.

Kyle: She was furious. I lied. She could barely get past the fact that I have violated our trust, and I own that mistake, but now she has done exactly the same thing, lying on top of lying. See, this time, it wasn’t about a job at a company. It was about my mother’s life. Her entire future.

Jack: And she wants to make amends now.

Kyle: How? She let me believe she was grieving her mother. Let my mom face the possibility of life in prison. Let me tie myself in knots trying to support my mother. I was desperate to help summer. Desperate. And she shut me out. Disregarded my love, disregarded my feelings for her and my mother.

Jack: There’s no doubt about it, she was wrong, but are you so hurt that you won’t get past what has happened?

Kyle: It is not about hurt. I don’t know who she is anymore. Or maybe I’m just finally seeing she really is her mother’s daughter. Summer did whatever she needed to get what she wanted. Knowing she’s capable of that and so easily, I don’t see how I can trust her again.

Jack: But don’t you think that’s a little harsh?

Kyle: Summer and i are separating dad. I told her to move out.

Michael: Your mother’s future is still pretty much up in the air. And more than a lot of it depends on phyllis.

Summer: You’re gonna help her, right?

Michael: Of course I will. I’m committed to bringing phyllis back. She has that special type of mayhem we all need in our life. But your mother is a stubborn woman. Even with the odds against her, she insists that things play out on her terms. And that is just something I can’t promise.

Summer: And that’s why she didn’t stick around?

Michael: It’s not like I didn’t try. I begged her to turn herself in. I ran up and down the list of reasons why it’d be the least stupid thing she could do. I told her we love her, we miss her. We’re ready to fight for her.

Summer: And she still refused.

Michael: She’s afraid. Christine is at the end of all this. Phyllis is convinced that christine will hit her with every charge in the book and even a few extra just for kicks. The only commitment I could get from your mom is that she would think about it and examine her options.

Summer: Even if there are legal consequences, I mean, it’s got to be better than all of this craziness. The uncertainty.

Michael: I would like this all to be over so I could see you smile again.

Summer: As much as I love my mom and I want her to come home… I– I– I still can’t believe that she did this to us. To me, I mean, even if we figure out all of her problems, there’s still going to be collateral damage.

Michael: What, uh, specific collateral damage are we talking about?

Summer: I might need a lawyer myself. (Wheezing)

Sharon: “Dear miss newman, this letter is to inform you that I represent the estate of cameron kirsten. Per his instructions, I’ve been authorized to forward you the items included in this box in the event of his death.”

Jack: You and summer are separating? I am so sorry it has come to that.

Kyle: I don’t see any other way.

Jack: When we saw you last night, you said you realized that staying away wasn’t going to fix anything. I assumed, I hoped, that that was leading toward healing.

Kyle: There was no hope in that decision. It was resignation. Why put off the inevitable?

Jack: Kyle, is this really what you want? You’re ready to give up on your marriage?

Kyle: Summer chose to do that when she decided to betray everything I thought we had and– and so damn easily. Who knows? Maybe if she hadn’t gotten caught, she would still be lying to me.

Jack: Oh, you’re in pain. And it’s deep and there are no easy remedies, but I’m sure you’re also aware there has been a lot of forgiveness in this house recently for crimes far more serious than summer’S.

Kyle: I guess I’m not as forgiving as you are.

Jack: I don’t believe that. I believe you are forgiving. You forgave your mother. I did too.

Kyle: Not the same. When I see summer, I see someone who didn’t love me enough to be honest. She took me and everything we had for granted. She blew all of our trust to hell. How do you love without that? How is there ever any coming back from what she’s done?

Michael: I would never turn you away if you needed help, summer, but I’m not sure why you would need legal representation.

Summer: Uh, I haven’t been completely upfront with you.

Michael: Oh.

[ Summer sighing ] My morning was going so well. What did you do?

Summer: Mom reached out to me first, not daniel.

Michael: What?

Summer: And he covered for me. And I was keeping her– her secret, unlike him. And when I found out that he was telling everyone, I was furious. So, when she revealed where she was hiding…

Michael: You said nothing.

Summer: Yeah. I brought her food and clothes. I tried to help her figure everything out and I don’t know how many laws I broke. I mean, aiding and abetting a fugitive, obstruction of justice. Uh, how much time can you get for them?

Michael: All right, all right you’re getting ahead of yourself.

Summer: Am I? Because chance told me that christine was just waiting to find my mom before she brought charges against me, so it kind of seems like it’s going to happen.

Michael: You spoke to chance about possible charges against you?

Summer: As a friend.

Michael: Uh, when your mother is on the run for serious crimes and you’ve aided and abetted her. Never, ever, ever talk to policemen as a friend. Can– can we agree on that before moving forward?

Summer: Yeah.

Michael: Is there any more of that collateral damage you mentioned?

Summer: Uh, my husband hates me.

Michael: Kyle could never hate you. He loves you.

Summer: I was protecting my mom while his mom sat in prison. I mean, I– I lied to him for weeks. And I hated it so much. Even when I wasn’t lying, I was pushing him away and now, he can’t even look at me so… I might also need a divorce attorney.

Michael: No. It’s too soon. You’re young, you’re in love, you have a child. Kyle will come around.

Summer: Michael, he already said that he wants a separation. He asked me to move out. Does it sound like he’s getting ready to forgive me?

Michael: Look, you just have to give kyle some time. You know, this has been rough for everybody.

Audra: If you’re thinking about making, you know, a smooth escape, look, I get it. No pressure from my end.

Kyle: I don’t wanna go home.

Audra: Excuse me?

The long-lasting scent

of gain flings

Audra: I’m sorry about the intrusion. I’m–

Summer: Audra charles. Yes, she was the one that broke noah’s heart a while ago.

Audra: But luckily, we both moved on. I hope he and allie are very happy back in london. And you are michael baldwin. Quite a phenom in this town. Attorney extraordinaire.

[ Michael laughing ]

Michael: It depends on who you talk to. But I also know of you from my dealings with newman enterprises. Victor’s acquisition of mccall unlimited.

Audra: That’s right. Small world.

Michael: Yeah.

Summer: I haven’t seen you since, um, the gala.

Audra: That’s right. It was such a terrible night. You know, I was there when your mother collapsed. To later learn that she died. Look, I can’t imagine the grief that you were going through, but how wonderful that she’s actually alive. Apparently somewhere. You must feel like you’re on a roller coaster. You know, but thank god you have your husband and his family to support you.

Summer: Is there something that you want?

Jack: Kyle, I know you’re angry and you have every right to be, but I honestly believe that your love for summer is much stronger than what you’re feeling right now. Listen, kyle, I know this from experience. Anger is a very potent emotion. It can blind you. It can fuel you to make decisions you’ll come to regret. All I’m suggesting is that you not act this second. Just give it some time for the anger to dissipate, and you can reevaluate.

Kyle: I have thought this through, dad. This decision is not based off of emotion. It is based off of fact.

Jack: The reality is this is a–

Kyle: Oh, no, no, no. The reality is my wife has proven she will always, always side with her mother against mine and me. That is a fact. And phyllis will be back in our lives soon. Whispering into summer’s ear, also a fact. So tell me, dad. How does my already broken marriage survive that chaos?

Sharon: This cannot be happening. This is just like before. Random packages being delivered here, at the coffee house just to freak me out.

Nick: We’re not playing cameron’s games anymore. Sharon, he’s dead. Let’s get rid of it. I’ll throw it out right now. We can burn it if you want.

Sharon: Wait, no. We should go through it first.

Nick: Why? It’s just gonna drag up memories that we’re trying to forget.

Sharon: Believe me, no one is more creeped out by this than me. But, no matter what is in that box, cameron can’t hurt us anymore.

If you, like many people,

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Nick: Seems like cameron was into journaling all his teenage angst. Uh, here’s a good one. “I’m going to be somebody, not like these losers. I’m going to be rich. Super rich. So rich no one can stop me and I’m going to marry the most beautiful woman in the world. Leave all these suckers behind.” I mean, the kid had goals.

Sharon: Let’s see what’s in here. Hmm. Frankie.

Nick: Okay.

Sharon: Oh, and this must be…

Nick: The dog’s ashes.

[ Clicks tongue ] Wow. I never pegged cameron to be a dog lover.

Sharon: Yeah. Me neither. Wow. So much for the family photo with his parents.

Nick: With faces ripped out. Guessing they were pretty close.

Sharon: And there’s frankie, I think.

Nick: Yeah. Something else in here what’s this? What do you think this is doing in here?

Sharon: It’s clearly paperwork for cameron’s company, kirsten incorporated. Oh, my gosh. Cameron’s entire business has been signed over to me.

Nick: What?

Jack: Kyle, there are no easy answers.

Kyle: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Let me spell it out for you. Phyllis will swoop back into town. Michael will do his thing. She will face minimal charges and go back to upending everyone’s life because that’s who she is. She will not be repentant. She will still hate my mother and she has a tidal pull on summer. I refuse to be a part of that circus, and I will not let my son be a part of it as well.

Jack: Yeah, I’ve been concerned about how this all affects harrison, too. There’s been too much anger and upset in this house for too long.

Kyle: Yeah, and too much has been generated by my wife. Dad, I– I remember. I remember, right there, when I approached summer about telling harrison that phyllis had died and she refused. She came up with all kinds of excuses and I felt sorry for her. What an idiot I was. Of course she knew phyllis was alive. Dad, and she was willing to put harrison right in the middle of her damn drama.

Jack: For what it’s worth, kyle, I honestly think summer is remorseful

Kyle: Please, the tears. The desperation to talk, to apologize, and she’s suddenly all about our great love. As if she didn’t treat me like the enemy for weeks! Blame me for not giving her the space she needed! All so she could keep phyllis’s dirty little secret. Oh, the entire time, the entire time I was trying to help her. Be there for her. Comfort her. She was sacrificing my mother to protect hers.

Jack: And diane has forgiven summer.

Kyle: How forgiving do you think mom will be towards phyllis? No matter how resigned she seems about doing nothing and letting phyllis’s karma come back and bite her? When those two come face to face again, all bets are off. Yeah, dad, look at what she just pulled with me. Lying about harrison? If she’s willing to play me like that, how far is she willing to go to make phyllis pay for trying to destroy her life? You cannot tell me you’re not a little worried about that.

Jack: I will allow that that could become an issue.

Kyle: Oh, it is already a giant issue, dad. As much as traci wants peace in this house, I see nothing but trouble ahead, especially for me and summer. I will do everything I can to protect my son. That is why my mind is made up. That is why summer and i are separating.

Audra: I apologize again for the interruption. I just wanted to offer my condolences if your mother really is gone.

Summer: Thanks.

Audra it was nice to see you again. And nice to officially meet you.

Michael: Same here.

[ Michael laughing ] Something tells me that that one is a real piece of work.

Summer: You wouldn’t be wrong. Is it just me, or when it comes to my mom, does everyone in this town want information or have an opinion?

Michael: Well, the phyllis trauma has sparked morbid curiosity from more than a few corners.

Summer: The worst part about it is whether she decides to come home or stay away, it’s just gonna get worse. When migraine strikes, you’re faced with a choice.

Nick: Cameron left you his company? This cannot be legit. It’s got to be another one of his crazy games.

Sharon: Well, nothing he does surprises me. Check the date, it’s from last year.

Nick: Which means he put all this in motion just in case his plan failed or he died. It’s an amazing way to keep toying with you from beyond the grave.

Sharon: Yeah, well, in some twisted way, I guess it makes sense, but it looks like it’s real. His attorney wants me to contact him to finalize transfer of ownership.

Nick: Well, if it’s bogus, it’ll be easy to figure out, but it does sort of prove his sick devotion to you. He always said that you were the love of his life. What better way to stay united with you even after his death than to leave you with this company?

[ Sharon sighing ]

Sharon: As if I would want anything from that horrible man, dead or alive. It’s like taking blood money.

Nick: I’m with you on that. Plus, he was in and out of prison for years. I mean, this company’s got to be in ruins.

Sharon: I don’t care if it’s worth a fortune. I am done with cameron and his manipulations. As far as I’m concerned, this is garbage.

Kyle: Hi.

Mariah: Hey, sunshine. I take that back. Maybe the forecast is cloudy with a bit of summer being a bitch?

Kyle: Turns out you were right.

Mariah: God, I really do love to hear that, but you look so miserable. It’s making me feel sorry about that. What’s going on?

Kyle: I’d rather talk about you.

Mariah: Uh, coffee and pastries for tessa, aria is next level cute. That’s me. Now back to you. Talk to me.

Kyle: All right. After I saw you, I took chance to a room at the athletic club where phyllis was hiding out, and of course, summer warned her and she was long gone.

Mariah: Do you have any idea where she is?

Kyle: Nope. But summer is consumed with the idea of bringing her mother back to as few charges as possible.

Mariah: Of course she is. ‘Cause all mommy did was fake her own death, try to destroy your mom’s life and kill a man, so there’s nothing to see here.

Kyle: And as obsessed as summer is with getting her mother to come back home, she’s just as focused on smoothing things over with me. She lied to my face for weeks and now she can’t stop saying how sorry she is.

Mariah: Is she actually sorry or is she just sorry she got caught?

Kyle: No, exactly. I mean, she goes on and on about how much she loves me and how special our marriage is, as if things could ever go back to the way they were.

Mariah: I’m sorry. What? Look, regardless of what I think about summer, you guys built a life together, a family.

Kyle: And she blew it up. I mean the lies and– and the manipulation I mean, my dad, he keeps talking about forgiveness, even my mom, but… I see now what you saw all along. Summer is going to summer. This wasn’t an isolated incident. This is who she is. And how can I ever trust again that she will put our marriage first, and our son? And there is zero doubt that phyllis is coming back into our lives, so I refuse to raise harrison in the toxicity that phyllis and summer call love.

Mariah: Man, I thought being right would feel…. a lot better than this.

Kyle: Thanks for letting me vent. And, oh, yeah, would you believe that summer went to my mom? I mean, the woman she was willing to let spend years behind bars, the woman she can’t stand, and asked her to intervene. I mean, how crazy is that?

Mariah: [ Clicks tongue ] Um, maybe not as crazy as you think. Summer… she came to me too.

Kyle: You’re kidding me?

Mariah: Consorting with the enemy. She must be desperate, right?

Kyle: What did you tell her?

Mariah: I told her that she’s not good enough for you. Never was.

Kyle: All that tact. That’s what I love about you.

Mariah: Hey, I’m just speaking my truth.

[ Kyle sighing ] Look… as screwed up as summer is and as screwed up as this whole situation is… I think she loves you. Badly and– and selfishly and in horrible, broken ways. But she definitely still loves you. And I think under the broken pieces of your heart… you might still love her, too.

Kyle: Love has nothing to do with this. It’s about trust, and summer took a sledgehammer to it. That’s why I want a separation. I told summer to move out.

Summer: Hi.

Jack: Hi, summer.

Summer: I guess that kyle’s told you everything.

Jack: I am so sorry.

Summer: I didn’t mean for any of this to happen.

Jack: I know that.

Summer: [ Sighing ] I’ve made such a mess of things.

Jack: Hey, come here.

[ Summer sobbing ]

Summer: I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything.

Jack: You were put in a very difficult situation.

Summer: No, I can’t make any excuses. Everything I did, it was my choice. I could have gotten the murder charges against diane dropped a lot sooner. I mean, you– you must hate me, too.

Jack: No. No, I could never hate you. In part because I know, for better or worse, you will always protect the mother who was your world.

Summer: Even when she’s turning it upside down.

[ Scoffing ] I… I’ve tried to explain everything to kyle. I’ve tried to… apologize, but it just feels like everything I do is pushing him further away. I guess I deserve that, right? I mean, he just… was trying to love me and I– I betrayed him. I betrayed everything that he thought that our marriage was.

Jack: Kyle is deeply hurt right now.

Summer: I love him. Even as I was screwing everything up, I never stopped loving him. And now he just– he doesn’t want to hear it. I don’t want this. I don’t want a separation. I don’t want to leave his house, harrison, our family. I don’t know what to do, jack. How– how do I convince kyle to forgive me?

Jack: I’m going to tell you what I told my family yesterday. There’s no forcing forgiveness. Kyle wants a separation so that he can process what has happened, so he can cool down. Maybe that would be good for both of you.

Summer: Then why does it feel so final? Needles.

[ Sharon sighing ]

Sharon: Enough of cameron. What’s the rest of your day looking like? Are you going to see how sally’s doing?

Nick: I’m not sure she’s up for a visit after we spoke earlier, but I’m definitely going to stop by.

Sharon: I’m sure she could use all the support she can get.

Nick: Not that she’d admit it. She’s really struggling.

Sharon: So was adam. I wish they could share the loss of the baby together, share the love they had for that little girl. I just think it would go a long way in helping them heal.

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know. Sally blames adam 100%.

Sharon: And adam’s mad at himself and the world.

Nick: We both know how adam gets when he gets mad at himself, he tends to shine that onto the nearest target.

Sharon: Have you seen him?

Nick: Yeah, I saw him last night. Things got a little tense. I warned him that he needed to stay away from sally and just give her some time and space. Not that he listened the first time.

Sharon: He still loves her so much.

Nick: Yeah, but losing the baby? It was the only connection they had. Sally moved on a long time ago. But it doesn’t matter. Adam is going to do whatever he wants. Some people just don’t know how to fade into the woodwork.

Jack: You know that I adore you. I have since the moment I held you in my hands in that elevator when you announced to the world you were very much alive.

[ Summer chuckling ] That hasn’t changed. But I love my son very much and I am going to support whatever decision he makes.

Summer: I– I wouldn’t expect anything else.

[ Summer sighing ] I’ve ruined everything. And it’s not just our family that I’ve messed up.

Jack: Wait, I don’t understand what that means.

Summer: I mean, what’s going to happen to marchetti? Kyle and I can barely be in the same room. How are we gonna work together?

Jack: It’s not going to be easy. Personal differences have to take a back seat to what’s best for the company. That said, you are the driving creative force behind marchetti’s success. You are the brand. So if you and kyle can’t find a way to work together… I think kyle’s gonna have to be the one to step away.

Mariah: Separation. How did summer react?

Kyle: How do you think? She threw it back at me. Pretty much accused me of throwing her out on the street when all she did was try and help her mom.

Mariah: Very dramatic, that one. Are you having second thoughts?

Kyle: No, but I dread what’s ahead, but how can I build a life, a family, with someone who I can never trust again?

Mariah: I think you’re doing the right thing. For you and for harrison.

Kyle: Thanks. It means a lot.

Mariah: Is there anything else going on with you? Not that there needs to be anything else going on with you.

Kyle: I’m just putting one foot in front of the other. So why don’t you take that lukewarm coffee and those pastries back to tessa and give aria kiss for me?

Mariah: You know I’m just a phone call away.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. I know.

Mariah: And I want you to use it or I will hunt you down, I promise you that.

Audra: Hello.

Announcer: Next week on the young and the restless.

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.

Summer: I guess there’s just one thing left to do. Harrison. Could you come down here for a minute?

Sharon: I have an idea. But you would have to get your hands dirty.

Nick: Whatever it takes.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

[ Ringing ]

It’s trina. I can’t take your call right now. Please leave a message and I’ll call you back.

[ Beep ]

Trina. Call me. I made you an ice pack. Esme! Get out!

[ Exhales sharply ] I’m sorry. What are you apologizing for? Honestly, I’m not even sure. I just thought I should. Oh, you don’t have to be sorry. Tonight was really, really nice — daddy, daddy! Hey, hey, hey, hey. What’s the matter, sweetheart? Aunt elizabeth can’t leave. Not yet. Glad you came by. Good to see you. Of course. You know I always love spending time with you. Can I get you anything, or…? No, no, I’m fine, thanks. I’m just a little curious. What did you want to talk to me about? Your future.

Spencer: Esme! Get out! I’m sorry, trina. I’ll call you again later.

I am so sorry for keeping you waiting. [ Sighs ] But I’m glad you’re here. I’ve been wanting to talk to you. Well, that works out, because I’ve been wanting to talk to you, too. Really? About spencer? No. About curtis. I know what he did.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Hello? Jordan. Glad I caught you. Um, I know it’s late notice, but are you free for dinner tonight? I’m free, but I have no interest in spending my evening with you. Come on. Don’t you think we need to clear the air? As far as I’m concerned, the air is crystal clear. We’re done.

[ Knock on door ] Hold on. Yes?

[ Grunts ]

[ Breathing heavily ]


did you have a bad dream? Was it — was it the shadow again? Yeah. And it was scary. I tried to find you, but I couldn’T. Aunt elizabeth was gone, too. Oh, sweetheart, we’re — we’re both right here for you. Yeah, daddy’s been here the whole time. Really? I promise. And you’re here, too. We’ve both been here. But what if I fall asleep again? What if the shadow comes back and I can’t find either of you again? It’s okay. It’s okay. That is not at all what I was expecting you to say. Gladys and I were talking. She says you’re ready to end the guardianship. That is true. I will forever be grateful to gladys for everything that she has done for me, but I don’t want to be a burden on her any longer. You’re not a burden. To any of us. We just — we just care about you. We want you back on your own two feet. That means a lot. But my decision is only partly about gladys. I just think it’s time. What if I told you gladys thinks you’re not ready? Gladys came to see you about me? Yeah, um, she seems to think that you’re rushing things a little bit. And she’s worried. So am I. I told you I’m fine! Now go! I am not going anywhere. You could have a broken rib or internal bleeding. I don’t have either. I think I would know. Right. Because of all the medical expertise you have. What happened to you, anyway? Did someone attack you? We just got in a little fight. Who is “we”? Someone you know? Or did you get in a fight with a complete stranger? Would it matter? Why do you care? Ow! What the hell?! Did — did you think what would happen if you got hurt or arrested? Did you even stop to think what that would mean for — no, it all just happened kind of fast. So the answer is no, you didn’t think.

[ Sighing ] God!

[ Door closes ] I’m sorry. I can’t talk right now. Jordan! J– well, I can guess what you’re here about. Well, it’s not to get into an argument, if that’s what you’re thinking. I’m really not angry. Good, because you shouldn’t be. Well, not at me, anyway. I just don’t understand why you would tell portia about our kiss when we agreed that we would keep it to ourself and that it was best. And if you changed your mind, why wouldn’t you talk to me first? Look, I tried to warn you. Right, and then, so you decided you knew what was best and that all of a sudden telling portia couldn’t wait. I didn’t say a thing to portia about our kiss. I never wanted her to find out at all. Well, if you didn’t tell her, who did? Obviously, I-I-I’m extremely hurt.

[ Scoffs ] Curtis and I have both made mistakes. Why are you letting him off the hook that easily? I’m not letting him off of the hook, trina. This is — this is complicated, okay? Mom, he kissed another woman. His ex-wife! Why aren’t you angrier with him? Why are you getting all riled up at me about this, sweetie? Because he was wrong. Are you really just gonna roll over and let him treat you like this? This has nothing to do with you! You really have to make the bed right now? I’m — I’m still in it.

[ Sighing ] Okay. Pants. Shirt. Sock. Where’s the other sock? It’s on the sconce. Oh. This is weird. Is this your thing? Is it a thing, like a postcoital cleanup thing? ‘Cause that… I mean, I’m okay with it, but it’s a — it’s a little neurotic. I am not neurotic. You’re orderly. You’re neat. You’re — you’re tidy, right? You gonna come back to bed? Okay. Um… so, not too long ago, you and I, w-we were — we were almost yelling at each other, and we were kind of at each other’s throats. And then we decided to do something else instead. And is that something that we need to talk about? No. Nope, there will be no talking. And I will not be coming back to bed, because you are leaving. Now.


you know what? I’ll be right here if you need me for anything, alright? Okay, but can aunt elizabeth come in with you? Well… aunt elizabeth has to go home to her kids. But I promise you, she’ll come in and say good night to you before she leaves. I like it when she’s here. Don’t you, daddy? I really don’t want to get in the middle of this, curtis. This is between you and portia. What? Oh, so now you want to respect boundaries? After the damage has already been done? Look, you can believe me or not. Well, you obviously knew it was coming, or you wouldn’t have tried to warn me. So, if you didn’t tell portia, then who did? N’neka. N’neka? N’neka, yeah. She was at the club that night. You really think n’neka saw us kissing and then went running to tell portia? What am I supposed to think? Who else could it have been?

[ Sighs ] It was your brother-in-law. Zeke was the one who told portia. Why are you trying to protect me? I’m not a child anymore, mom. But you’re always gonna be my child, trina. And I’m not protecting you. Not in the way that you think. Trust me, this is my attempt at being fair. I’m a grown woman and I need to figure out my relationship with curtis on my own. But why? I’m right here. You can tell me anything. I appreciate you so much for saying that. Listen, I don’t want you involved in any issues that I have with curtis or in my marriage. I don’t want you to have to think about any of that. I don’t want you to have to have baggage when you’re dealing with curtis. You shouldn’t have to be taking sides or keeping secrets or anything like that. I just… I don’t want you to worry about any of this.

[ Cellphone rings ] It’s — yeah, go ahead and take that. No, it’s just… it’s just spencer. Wow. You usually can’t pick up the phone fast enough for spencer.

[ Chuckles ] You feeling okay?

[ Chuckles lightly ] Did you two have a fight? No. We didn’T. But spencer did. “If left untreated, rib fractures can have serious short-term consequences, such as severe pain while breathing, pneumonia, and death.” Well, I thought that you didn’t want to be around me. “Long-term consequences are also possible, such as decreased lung function and chronic pain.” Now, tell me, how are you gonna yell at people if your lungs are damaged? Did you ever think about that? Aww, I didn’t realize you cared so much. I am calling a doctor. No, esme, don’t do that. I don’t have a broken rib. You might not know that until symptoms develop later. If they do, then I’ll contact a doctor at that time. Please, stop worrying about me. Who said I was worried? I just don’t want to have to take you to the emergency room in the middle of the night. It — it would throw off ace’s whole sleep schedule. Oh, my mistake. It’s not about me. Which makes sense because in your eyes, I’m not worth worrying about. To you, I’m always gonna be my father’s son.

[ Keys clatter ] Take a hint, will you? You’re throwing me out? Wow, nothing gets by you. Well, except my keys, apparently.

[ Laughs ] Oh, come on. We — we both know this was a mistake. But we’re adults, so we can skillfully pretend that it never happened. N-now get a move on, because your shoes are next. And I’ll have much better aim. Y-you don’t need to do that. I-I don’t want to stay somewhere I’m not wanted. But just so you know… I-I feel that what went on here was not a mistake. If it weren’t for nikolas’ accidental death, we wouldn’t even be here. We would hardly know each other. Yeah, but we do know each other. And we are here. And I think that there are actual, literal scratches on my back that let me know that you might think that there are worse ways to spend an evening.


Yes. I like it when elizabeth is here. But don’t you think your cousins would miss her if she was here all the time? They could come, too. Or we could go there. Oh, boy. How’s it going out here? Oh.

[ Gasps ] Aunt elizabeth! Guess what I have. How would you like some of my very special sleepy time magic milk? Hey, how did you know about that? Oh, all the mommies know. Oh. Did you make sure to add the secret ingredient? Well, of course. It wouldn’t be magic without it. It tastes different than when daddy makes it. Mm! Aunt elizabeth’s is better. Aw. But yours is good, too, daddy. Yeah. Thank you, sweetheart.

[ Both laugh ] I think I’m doing the right thing by ending my guardianship, but I wish that I was sure. Alright, listen, tell me what doubts you’re having. Um… it’s just that… some days, I feel strong and confident and healthy. And then other days, are just…so-so.

[ Chuckles ] Where everything just feels off and it feels like I’m just pretending to hold it together.

[ Exhales deeply ] But those… those don’t bother me that much. I’m — I’m used to those. I think we — we all have so-so days, right? Probably.

[ Both laugh ] Those are not the days that — that scare me. The — the days that terrify me are… the bad days. The days when the darkness just comes back. Because it will happen for no reason at all. I will be putting sugar into my coffee, and then suddenly I’m remembering when I was pregnant and I couldn’t have caffeine. And it was the worst. But it was totally worth it ’cause I already loved my baby so much, and… I just couldn’t wait to meet him. Of course you couldn’T. And then I’m remembering… that my baby is gone. And the sadness just takes over. And it just feels like A… like a weight is pressing down on my heart and… and it scares me because I don’t know — was that a memory or — or was it just a delusion? Did I somehow think that I was pregnant again? We both know what grief does. Plays tricks with your mind and messes with your sense of time. That’s what I think, too. Because, you know, the next day might be so-so again. A-and the day after that might even be good. So, does it scare me to think about being on my own again and — and make my own decisions? Yes. But something inside of me is telling me that I am ready. And… I think it’s time that I start listening to that voice. But maybe I’m making a mistake. What do you think, sonny? Do you think that I am doing the wrong thing by trusting myself? I can see that you don’t w antto discuss our relationship. We don’t even have a relationship! We’re being blackmailed together. That’s it. I do enjoy your company, ava. We were just yelling at each other not too long ago. Well, almost. I-I mean, there was A…

[ Sighs ] We were trying to release a lot of pressure and, clearly, sexual tension. Oh, you are really sure of yourself. No, I’m — I’m not, actually. Not at all. I-in fact, it’s really difficult for me to let people in. And I don’t mean to presume to speak for you, but I think I-I — it’s really hard to make a human connection. And I’m just saying, let’s be honest. L-l-let’s admit to one another that we just had a profound human physical connection. You lied to me, you kidnapped my daughter, and now you’re saying that I — I owe you honesty? Oh, okay. I can see where you’re going with this. Okay, so — so, under certain terms — I have a little advice for you. Don’t ever pull a stunt like that again. Because if you do, the next body I dump in the stables… …is gonna be yours. I don’t know much about nikolas except that he kept me locked in a tower because he wanted to keep my baby away from me. And I know if given the chance, you would do the same. Just in case. I just want to take care of my brother ace, so… well, I guess that is the difference between the two of you, because at least you’re here. He isn’T. And since we’ve moved into your grandmother’s, you have been pretty reliable. Up until now. What happened tonight? I got into a fight. Why? With josslyn’s new boyfriend. And I did it because I was angry and because I don’t like him and I don’t like what he did. Josslyn was dating my friend cameron when she met dex, and she was still seeing him when dex and josslyn got together for the first time. Then why are you mad at dex? Uh, isn’t that josslyn’s fault? You wouldn’t understand. There’s more — there’s more to it than that. You don’t know why you hit him, do you? I don’t understand why we’re talking about this. Because you’re literally the last person that I want to confide in, esme. Well, that’s dumb. Because I might be the only person who actually understands. Yeah? Why is that? Well, because I do it, too. I mean, I-I-I get angry, I lash out, I make choices that I regret, I make mistakes. And the worst part is when I do get mad, everyone’s just looking around and judging me like, “oh, look, there she goes again. Back to her old lying ways. I knew she couldn’t be trusted.” And you have confirmed all of their worst suspicions about you. And they have no idea that the entire time, you were just trying to do the right thing. Spencer and I went to the highsider. The highsider? The — the biker bar where oz haggerty worked? Yeah. We were looking for evidence to use against esme to prove that she’s guilty. And let me guess, this little excursion was spencer’s idea? Not exactly. You know, I-I don’t even care whose idea it was. I-I don’t like you going to that place. Mom. We weren’t just going to that place.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sighs ] Anyway… so, joss had the same idea. She brought dex. And spencer picked a fight.

Again. So, it looks like spencer is back to his old ways. Yeah. And I don’t even recognize him anymore. Really? Because I can. To me, he will always be the boy who lied to my daughter, put her into harm’s way. How does zeke know what happened between you and me? I told him. What — why did you do that? Because I didn’t know who he was. I’d just found out that you were moving back in with portia, and I needed someone to talk to. Zeke was just a friendly stranger with a sympathetic ear. We met at the metro court, and I started venting. I didn’t use any names, just told him I had kissed my ex but it wasn’t going anywhere. If you didn’t use any names, how did he figure it out? Portia introduced us. It didn’t take zeke long to put two and two together. I told him to keep it to himself, but he said he had to tell her. I just don’t understand how you could tell someone, a perfect stranger, something so personal about us. That’s just not like you.

[ Scoffs ] I needed someone to confide in. You had portia. And I was all alone.

[ Knock on door ] And now that you know, I don’t see what else there is to talk about.


Curtis. If I didn’t have time to talk to you on the phone, what made you think I wanted you to come by my office? Well, it’s not like I knew curtis was gonna be here. Didn’t you tell my sister it was over between you and jordan? That’s none of your business. Mm. Don’t you think you’ve caused enough problems between portia and me? Well, I wouldn’t be involved if you had just been honest with her from the beginning. I bet you just can’t wait to run back to portia and tell her you found me here tonight. After what you put my sister through, what do you expect? I expect you to keep your damn mouth shut, zeke. Or you and me… we’re gonna have a problem. I remember how spencer treated me. But he’s changed. Has he, though?

[ Scoffs ] Because the fight that you’re describing makes it sound like maybe he’s still working on it. You think I’m being naive? I didn’t — I didn’t say that. I didn’t say that. Look, I-I do see what you’re saying with spencer. He has made significant strides in growing up since you’ve met him. Yes. And it’s largely because of you. Yes, he has. He’s more mature now, asking for help when he needs it. And he seems like he’s really, you know, taking the responsibility of ace seriously with esme. And esme’s even open to taking a parenting class with spencer, which goes to show his responsibility, right? That sounds like a good sign. But by the look on your face, maybe it’s not a good sign. No, I mean… I’m glad spencer is being responsible towards ace. Mm-hmm. But what?

[ Sighs ] It’s nothing. Sweetheart. Honey, it’s me. I’m your mom. I know you. You can talk to me. I don’t care about the class. But I can’t stand the thought of spencer spending even one extra second with esme. Sounds like we’re both trying to be better people. You’re just now figuring that out? Yes. Obviously, I have been trying to be better. It’s possible that I haven’t been giving you much of a chance. Whatever. It’s not a big deal. I actually get how it might be harder for you. For me? Why? Well, because you remember the terrible person that you were. I just have to be told about myself over and over. Yeah, that’s hard. Yes. I mean, constantly hearing what a terrible person you are from everyone. You know, you’re the only one who never talks about our history. We… dated in boarding school, right? Mm-hmm. For like a year. What were we like as a couple? I don’t like to remember that time. Understandable. But just tell me, were we really these awful people destroying everything we touched?

[ Chuckles ] No. Not always.

[ Both laugh ] Um… I was very unhappy when we met. I was estranged from my father and I had a big chip on my shoulder because of that. I didn’t have any friends, just people who wanted to get close to me because I had money. So, I was a bit of a jerk in return because of that. You? A jerk? No way. And then I met you and you really listened to me and you took an interest in my life. And you didn’t just tell me what I wanted to hear because I’m a cassadine. And I started to depend on you, more than I think you knew. But it was all… none of it was real. And you were manipulating me the entire time. You were my first love. And you were just using me. How is she? Finally asleep. Your milk did the trick. Apparently, yours is more magical than mine. It’s the cinnamon.

[ Chuckles ] I can’t thank you enough. You’re really good with her. I’m glad you feel that way. I was hoping that I-I wasn’t overstepping by making the magic milk.

[ Chuckles ] No. Not at all. You know, my boys are growing up, and with cameron all the way in california, I’ve just been feeling it lately. They’ll always need you. I know, but not in the same way. Guess I got to let them grow up at some point. Or so I’ve been told.

[ Chuckles ] You know, violet’s always here if your mom urge gets real strong. You know how much she likes seeing you. Careful. I’ll be over here every night making magic milk.

[ Chuckles ] I’m kidding. I’m just kidding. Yeah, no, I know. Well, I should get going — would you like a cup of tea — oh.

[ Both chuckle ] You need to get home to the boys. Yeah. Yeah, I should. Even though they won’t be nearly as happy to see me as violet was.

[ Laughs ] Violet…and — and me.


what do I think? Uh, well, I mean, you didn’t tell me if you’re fine, if you’re alright, it’s all — you know, you don’t need anybody, and you’re all better.

[ Chuckles ] I only wish I was that confident. Well, it’s a good thing, ’cause if you would have said that, then I’d say that, you know, you need to spend a few more months with gladys. ‘Cause in my experience, people who say that everything’s great all the time, you know, usually aren’T. That makes a lot of sense. You can’t be great all the time, especially… after what you’ve gone through. Let me explain something to you. You can handle a lot more than you think. That’s why I think it’s time for you to be on your own. Now, don’t get mad at me ’cause you kissed jordan. I had to tell portia. Did you? Yes, I did. And neither one of you would have done the same thing if you were in my position. That’s not even what I’m talking about. You told trina, right after I found out that she was my daughter, to steer clear of me. I didn’t even get into any specifics with her, alright? That’s even worse, because you let her imagination run wild. She was just beginning to trust me, man. Well, maybe she shouldn’T. Maybe neither one of you should be trusted. Jordan, why don’t you remind me just how you two met in the first place? I’m starting to see why you’re so angry with me. I’m angrier with myself. For letting myself be manipulated by you. Okay. Sure. The old esme was calculating. But I seriously doubt someone could fake a relationship for a whole year. Who are you trying to make feel better here — me or you? Maybe both. Um… I [Chuckles] Think the old esme must’ve really liked you. Even just a little. That’s doubtful. Although… what?

[ Laughing ] No. No. What? There was this one time when I was trying to figure out what to get you for your birthday, and I didn’t really know what to get you, so I was asking around. I asked the same friends who were still leeching on me for money, and they told me that I should get you jewelry. Something expensive. Which makes sense, right? So I did. Generous. But then there was this snow globe that I got when I was a kid. And I had taken it with me to school. And it was so cheesy. It was like two skiers on top of a mountain with a log cabin and fir trees. It was hideous. I don’t know why you liked it, but you did. You loved it and you played with it every single time you came into my room. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out why. So, at the last minute, I grabbed that as well. Instead of the jewelry? No, no, no, no. I gave you both just to be safe. Oh. Okay. Yeah. And don’t get me wrong, you liked the jewelry. But your face when you saw this snow globe… I mean, the expression was one of pure joy. I’d never seen anything like it before in my whole life, esme. And I still — I-I can’t figure out why someone would have liked a regifted snow globe so much.

[ Both laugh ] I can. The old esme really liked you. It wouldn’t bother me that much if it was anyone other than esme. After what she did to me, joss, and cam, I-I… ugh! The thought of her being with spencer makes me sick. Esme deserves to pay for her crimes, and — and hopefully the evidence is found to bring her to justice. But the pcpd, they’ve been down this road already and they’ve come up empty. Maybe they’ll never find anything. Then what? Esme will just be in my life forever? Honey, nobody can predict the future. But, um… if spencer’s in your life and ace is in his, then esme will be in yours.


Uh, thank you. A-and I’d keep that on for another 10 minutes. I can’t accept that esme will always be in my life. I want to be with spencer. Or at least I thought I did. Just not like this. He’s either spending all of his time with esme or raising a child on his own. That’s what I’ve been trying to get you to see, trina. You have to have your own life. Honey, you are smart. You’re beautiful. You have opportunity. There are so many experiences out there for you to have. You have this whole big world that you haven’t even tapped into yet. Please, please, don’t make it smaller. Not when you don’t have to. I can see what’s going on here. Back off, curtis. It’s none of your business. I can handle my own ex-husband, thank you. But zeke’s right. Stay out of it. Look, I don’t care what happened between you. But my daughter — that is my business. Zeke better think twice before he interferes in our business again.

[ Scoffs ] Well, that was awkward. Now that he’s gone, we should talk. There’s nothing to discuss. You know the way out.

[ Sighs ]

[ Door closes ] I am so glad that we had this talk, sonny. I wasn’t sure if I was making the right decision, but you made me feel good about it. Well, you know, you can never be 100% sure, but I can tell you what — you’re — you’re on the right track. That means the world to me. And listen, just because you’re ending the guardianship doesn’t mean that you’re on your own. I’m always here to back you. You know that. And I think gladys is, too. Now get out of here. Go live your life.

[ Laughs ] Enjoy yourself. Thank you, sonny. Really, I mean it. Thank you. I had a really good time, too.

[ Chuckles ] But you’ve just gone on an 8-year-old’s version of the perfect date.

[ Laughs ] And I can’t thank you enough for letting her do that. It was fun. Really. You don’t have to say that. I’d offer you a ride home, but…

[ Chuckles ] Your baby’s asleep. And I drove myself here, so… okay. Good night. Good night. If I leave now, I got to wake the boat launching guy. So wouldn’t it just be better if I spent the night? You could always swim. Really. The water is really very warm this time of year. Okay. Yeah, I-I couldn’t do that. I can’T. I’m exhausted. And I think you know why. In fact, I-I’m willing to bet that you’re gonna sleep pretty soundly tonight, ava.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Hope: Liam, please– [ Sobs ] Please listen to me. We– we shouldn’t let this ruin what we worked so hard–

Liam: You kissed thomas, hope. You– you kissed him.

Hope: I know, I know–

Liam: You grabbed his face, leaned in, and you kissed him!

Hope: I know, but I love you! It was a mistake, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I know that I messed up. I don’t know– I don’t know what I was thinking. But please, liam, please tell me that we can work through this. Please! Tell me you can forgive me.

Finn: I’m gonna go, babe. I’m gonna be late.

[ Chuckles ] I’m sorry. About hope and liam. Okay? I really am.

Steffy: Yeah, I wanted to be wrong. For liam’s sake.

Finn: He flew halfway across the world to find his wife kissing another man.

Steffy: Liam has always said that hope is the most forgiving person he has ever known. So, maybe he can find forgiveness to keep their marriage alive.

Finn: Liam didn’t catch hope just kissing any man.

Steffy: I know. And that’s why I feel bad for thomas in all this.

Finn: Yeah, but knowing everything that your brother has put liam and hope through in the past and how much liam distrusts thomas, I mean, I have a hard time believing that liam is just gonna accept and forgive hope’s feelings for thomas.

Hope: Liam, I know that you are hurt and I know that you are angry.

Liam: I’m hurt and I’m angry because I can’t unsee you kissing thomas. That’s why I’m hurt and angry.

Hope: So then– so then stop thinking about it! Just try to think about the future of our family. About beth, about douglas.

Liam: I am thinking about beth! I am thinking about douglas. I am thinking about how this is going to affect them, only this time, the threat to our happiness is not just thomas, is it? It’s you! It’s you. And you’ve been gaslighting me for months. All this time, I was so worried that something would happen and never thought it was this. I never thought it would be you pursuing him, you kissing him, you falling for him.

Hope: It’s not like that! It wasn’t like that. I know– I know you want some sort of ex– explanation, but I can’t give you one, because there is none, because I don’t even understand it. I didn’t want this. I don’t know why I’m feeling this way. I don’t– I was trying to fight against it, and I just– [ Sobs ] It’s not an excuse. It’s not. It’s not. And I know that all– all I can say is I’m sorry. Liam, I– I am– I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Liam: I don’t believe you. I wish I could accept your apology, I just– I’m tired. I’m really tired. I– um… I’m gonna come back, I’m gonna get some of my stuff, but, um… I’m gonna leave.

Hope: Liam…

Liam: And, uh… I want a divorce.

Hope: What?

Liam: And we’ll work it out with the kids. I just, uh… I just can’T. I can’t do this anymore. And, um, plus, I don’t– I don’t really know who you are, so… bye, hope.

Finn: Hope and liam are a strong couple, but… this is a big issue.

Steffy: I warned hope to get her feelings under control. And I told liam what was going on because this is exactly what I was afraid of. Think of all the things this could impact. Their relationship, our families, the business. The line!

Finn: Yeah, I know– we don’t know anything yet, right? And a lot can still happen.

Steffy: Yeah, most of it’s bad.

Finn: Okay. I– I– I feel terrible. I gotta go to work.

Steffy: Yeah, I know. I know I made you late enough.

Finn: Look, maybe I am being pessimistic, all right? They do love each other. Maybe that’s strong enough to hold ’em together.

Steffy: You’re just saying that because you don’t want me to worry.

Finn: [ Chuckles ] I’m saying that because I know that that kind of love exists. Whether they have it or not, I don’t know. I know one couple that does. Okay.

[ Knock on door ]

Hope: Liam!

Rj: Hey. What’s up?

Hope: Rj, hi.

Rj: I heard you were home, and I just wanted to stop by and congratulate you on your success. Hey, what’s– what’s going on? What’s wrong?

Wyatt: Hey. Uh, I got your message. Why’d you want to meet here? Is dad back?

Liam: Um… no, he– he’s, uh, he’s on the stella maris. I don’t know when he’s gonna be back. But, um… when he is, I’m moving in.

Wyatt: You’re moving in with– with dad? Oh, shoot… uh… well, what– what happened? Did– did you– did you talk to hope?

Liam: I tried to talk to her. I– I asked her, “how was your trip?” But she didn’t– she just wanted to talk about how– how good it was until she saw my italian luggage tags on my bag. And then she wondered why I would go all the way to rome and not see her.

Wyatt: Only you– you did…

Liam: Yeah, I sure did.

[ Sighs ] Now, I can’t unsee her. The love of my life making out with my worst enemy. And she kissed him, too. My god, she just– she initiated the whole thing. She just went for it.

Wyatt: I– I know, and– and I’m– I’m sorry, man. I– this– it’s gotta be a real punch in the gut for you.

Liam: I’m just tired. You know? I’m tired of thomas occupying so much space in the middle of my relationship, and it’s never gonna change, and it’s exhausting, and I just don’t wanna do that anymore.

Wyatt: Okay. Look, so you– you’ll moving in with dad, right? You know, you’ll take some time to cool off. That’s– that’s good.

Liam: Time is not gonna fix this. Nor is any excuse about the magic of rome, or, you know, getting caught up in the moment, or riding the high of the preview, or even hope turning into her mother. This is not– I didn’t leave to cool off. I left because my marriage is over, and I asked for a divorce. (Dog barking) we love our pets.

-During an asthma attack,

Liam: I can’t– I can’t take it.

Wyatt: [ Scoffs ] Oh, okay, fine. You– you saw your wife kissing thomas of all people, and it’s freaking heartbreaking. But liam–

Liam: Hey, I can’T. I’m telling you that I can’t do that anymore. It’s so obvious hope has feelings for thomas, even if she can’t admit it to herself at this point. And that– that’s not something I can just live with forever, especially after– it’s thomas, man! I mean, after– after everything that he’s done to us and our marriage and our family… it doesn’t matter what angle you look at this from. My feelings are not gonna change.

Wyatt: Okay, but that’s what you’re feeling right now. And you’re in the heat of it right now, right? That– it’s understandable–

Liam: Wyatt. Wyatt.

Wyatt: I’d be pissed off too.

Liam: Wyatt. It’s over. My marriage is over.

[ Wyatt sighs ]

Wyatt: I mean… all right. I’m– I’m here for you, you know, whatever you need. You– you can always count on me.

Liam: I know that.

Wyatt: So… what now? Where– where do you– where do you go from here?

[ Liam scoffs ]

Liam: I have so many regrets.

Wyatt: About? Whoa. Liam.

Rj: Hey, hey. You can talk to me, okay? Tell me, let me– let me help you.

Hope: No, it’s too late for that.

Rj: You just got back from rome. Your collection was a hit! You did great. I thought– I thought you’d be on top of the world right now.

Hope: [ Laughs ] I was… until I messed it all up.

Rj: Where’s liam? Is liam here?

Hope: No. I was so excited to get home and to see him and the kids and to tell them all about my trip. I mean, I even got them, like, little souvenirs, and… instead I come home and liam’s just sitting there alone.

[ Sobs ]

Rj: What’s going on, hope? Talk to me, all right? Tell me what happened.

Hope: Okay. Um… liam wanted to know everything about the trip, and so I told him about the preview and the press event, and, um, you know, that it was a success. And– and then I saw, right over there, his luggage with a tag from the rome airport.

Rj: He– he ended up going to rome? Oh, that’s great! Well, finn and I were trying to convince him to go to surprise you.

Hope: He missed the entire event and I didn’t even see him.

Rj: He went all the way there and you– you didn’t even see him?

Hope: Oh, no, no. He saw me, um… at the colosseum. I just– I didn’t know.

Rj: So he– he saw you but he didn’t speak a word to you? Hope, that doesn’t make any sense.

Hope: Yeah. Rj, you should know that after the big event, and it was a success, and it was great, and we were all celebrating, I wanted to go sightseeing. And I wasn’t really thinking, and I just, um… got caught up in the moment, and I, um, I– I– I was, um… I was at the colosseum, but I– I wasn’t alone.

Rj: Were you with thomas? I know he doesn’t like seeing the two of you together, but you’re saying that he saw the two of you celebrating together and that pissed him off so much that he flew all the way back to la? Why, hope?

[ Knock on door ]

Steffy: Liam.

Liam: Hi. I didn’t, um, see finn’s car in the driveway.

Steffy: Yeah, he left for the hospital. What’s going on? Why are you here?

[]

Hope: You know, I– I don’t want to lay all my problems on my little brother, so.

Rj: Okay. Well, do you want me to get mom? I can get mom.

Hope: No! No. She’ll learn about it sooner or later. Everyone will.

Rj: Learn what? Is this about liam not staying in rome? ‘Cause I can tell something happened when you got home. I mean, you said he was here and now he’s not. Did you guys just have an argument?

Hope: Yes, and I have never seen him more hurt or disillusioned.

Rj: With you? Why? Hope, you’re an amazing mom and an amazing wife. He’s lucky to have you. All right, this is– this is all some kind of misunderstanding. You know.. [ Laughs ] …What kind of guy flies all the way to rome just to surprise his wife? I think he cares about her a little bit. And yeah, he– he saw you with thomas, and that’s gonna piss him off, and it’s always gonna piss him off, but that doesn’t change the fact that he absolutely loves you.

Hope: Yeah, he did.

Rj: He did? That’s a question now? So you’re saying he saw you and thomas together in rome, and just that freaked him out so much that he went back to la? What did he see, hope?

Hope: Rj, you know how much family means to me, and how much I love liam and our kids, and that is the truth. And even though liam might not believe it right now, it, um… I guess that I don’t really blame him for thinking that after what he saw.

[ Chuckles tearfully ] So, um, yeah. When I– when he saw me at the colosseum, I wasn’t just with thomas. I kissed him.

Steffy: Liam, what’s going on?

Liam: How’s kelly? Is she happy you’re home?

Steffy: Kelly’s fine. It’s not why you’re here, is it? You were waiting for hope to get home. So what– what happened? Did she admit to kissing thomas?

Liam: Ha! No. No, I had to tell her what I saw.

Steffy: So what did– what did she say?

Liam: “I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. Please forgive me.”

Steffy: Well, did you? Did you forgive her?

Liam: Well, I left her. So, I’m done with this, steffy. Hope and I are over.

Steffy: No, liam. Liam, you don’t– you don’t mean that.

Liam: I do. Well, I mean it enough to ask for a divorce.

Steffy: A divorce?

Liam: Steffy, I– I can’t even look at her. What am I supposed to do?

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Dad, I’m, I’m so sorry to hear about Abe. I know how much you, and you and Kayla loved him.

Yeah. I mean, he was pretty much family for most of the town.

Eric, what are you doing here? I wanted to come see you as soon as I heard about Abe. What about Abe?

You hardly touched your burger friend. That’s unusual for you. Yeah. That kind have a big lunch. Is it that, or is it because you had that run-in, in front of the pub, finding out that Gwen’s getting married? That was a bit of a shock. Do you wanna talk about it?

Do you are asking me to marry you officially? Okay. What the hell kind of proposal was that? What was wrong with it? For starters, I don’t see a ring, and I have a rule. If a man isn’t willing to go down on bended knee, he is not a man worth marrying. You know what stuck? You are absolutely right. Forgive me Gwen, let me do this the proper way.

Oh wow. That is a, that’s a large diamond. That is a very, very large diamond. Now allow me a second chance, Gwen Sek, who you do me the great honor of becoming my wife. The answer is a hard no.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

God’s sake, mate. Okay? That thing is huge. The ring, I mean, but I’m sorry, Freo, you’ve wasted the money you worked so hard to inherit because there is no way Gwen is accepting your proposal. Damn it. Matt. How do you say? Hell no. And Almanian, you are aware that I’m proposing to Gwen and not you. So Gwen, what do you say?

Well, well, Gwenny, before you answer that, I have a question of my own that needs answering. Like what? Like what the hell is actually happening here?

When’s getting married to some eurotrash phony? What is it to talk about? Just like that my appetite came back. You know, you don’t have to pretend like you don’t care about her. Chloe, I only care about her because when we were together I ended up really hurting her. I feel good about that. In spite of everything she’s done, Gwen has been through a lot.

She deserves some happiness. And you don’t think the man she’s mirroring can give her that they’ve known each other for all of five seconds? I mean, how can it possibly work out? It’s all too fast. Did you tell Gwen that? I haven’t talked about it. She and I are hardly on good terms. I told him if you done anything to her, Gwen, you’ll answer to me.

So you’re still very protective of her. Gwen’s a grown woman. She can make her own decisions. I just, I don’t want her to make one that she’ll end up regretting for the rest of her life.

If you are here to try and convince me to change my plea, save your breath. I’m gonna take my chance at trial as your lawyer. I’m well aware of your position, so this is just a sisterly visit. Then I came to give you some news. Abe Carver is dead.

Abe is,

he’s dead. They haven’t recovered his body yet, but they have a witness who said he saw hate fall off the docks of the water. Okay. Well, he, he could have survived that, right? It’s very unlikely they said he could have already been injured. Raven and Eli said they found his blood and a hospital bracelet at the scene.

No way. Bye. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t believe this. I, I mean, I, I knew it was a possibility when he went missing, but, but still, I, I didn’t, I didn’t let myself think that I, I’m so sorry, Nicole. I just, I thought you knew.

He, you be, I, I, I, I mean, I, I can’t, I can’t believe this. To be true because he, he was the dearest est man. I He loved you so much. Yeah.

And having him in my life meant so much to me. I, I mean, having someone in, in, in my corner no matter what, and even when I felt all alone, I always, always had Abe.

And no matter how much I disappointed him through the years, he never judged me because you are like a daughtered him. Oh my god.

What am I gonna do without him?

Oh God.

So awful about Abe and the way that he died. Yeah. Such a tragedy. And I feel so bad for his family, my dad and Kayla,

I’m glad to be here with you.

I’m glad to. And thank you for a wonderful dinner. Oh no, this is just fish tacos. Uh, no, just fish tacos is something you get at your local fast food chain. Okay? What you put on this plate made me feel like I was sitting on a cliff overlooking a beach in Mexico. Well, no think you’re not. Maybe not a little thick, but I’ll take it.

Who knows? Maybe we’ll uh, go there together for real sometime. I’d like that. But for now, this, uh, this date was a pretty good placeholder

one. I was just wondering if, uh, to be wrong, to revisit that goodnight kiss. When they got interrupted, you mean when Johnny called to cancel our date? Yeah, that’s what I mean. So what do you think?

I think it would not be wrong at all.

So on a scale of one to 10, Sorry, what? On a scale of one to 10, how worried do I have to be about how protective you are of your ex? Wait, do you really want a number? Well, I’ve spent a good portion of my life in romantic relationships with men who are, um, unavailable or conflicted, or just a plain hot mess.

So I figure we should just get it all out onto the table. Chloe, you should not worry about me and Gwen. So is that a one? It’s a zero. Look, I admit I was thrown to find out that she’s getting married, but no, I’m totally over, Gwen. Okay, that’s, that’s good to hear. However, in the spirit of. Total honesty. I should admit that maybe Sarah will always be the one that got away,

and I will always think of him as a father no matter how long ago things ended with him and mom. Yeah, you too. And we’ll, we’ll video chat later. Okay. I love you too, Brandon.

You already knew about Abe. Theo told him, oh, I can’t imagine what he must be feeling right now. I should check on him. Yeah, I think you should be with your family. Just let me know if you need anything because you’ll be there for me. Thank you for checking on me. It means a lot. Actually it was Sloan’s idea Sloan.

She and I were together when I found out. I just, I mentioned how close you and Abe were and so said I needed to come see you right away. Oh, no, that was nice of her. Maybe she does have a heart, but you probably already knew that since you’re trying to have a baby with her.

No, that, that is the best news I’ve heard all day, Colin, a man is dead. And, and that’s, that’s tragic. I mean, I, I guess I, I didn’t have anything personal against Abe Carver. Uh, you bashed his skull and with a rolling pin in the wrong place, wrong time. And honestly, he was asking for it by marrying into the family that destroyed ours and continuing to support Chanel and their mother after we’d found out what they’d done.

So that makes you happy. I’m all for anything that causes Chanel, Dupree and Pauline and Price to suffer, and now they know what it feels like to lose someone you love. Dammit, Colin, I’m not gonna sit here while you dance on the man’s grave. I’m sorry. I forgot you had an epiphany and decided they’re always forgiven.

They’re on the path to righteousness. Oh goodness. And life

Sloan. Where, where did you go? What are you thinking about? No, I just said, um, I’m, uh, I’m not, All goodness and light at all. Actually, I’m a complete hypocrite.

You don’t have to answer him, Dimitri. Oh, no, no. It’s all right. You’re a friend. Well, he has doubts about my intentions, and I’m willing to address those doubts. Very unconvincingly, I’m sure. Oh, whether you’re convinced or not, Maddie. But, uh, today you don’t get to call me that. Only GW gets to call me. That fine Leo.

The truth of the matter is that I have fallen head over heels in love with this glorious woman, and I wanna marry her because she’s the most interesting and utterly captivating creature that I have ever met. And nothing will make me happier than knowing that she is mine forever and ever, and ever and always.

That’s you addressing my doubts. By laying on the schmalz with a trowel, how gullible do you think we are? Hey, what? What? Hey, look, as someone who knows a thing or two about laying on the schmalz and almost always has an ulterior motive, I could smell this man’s ulterior von Motive from a kilometer away.

Yes. Hello, mother. It’s your son, Dimitri, yet again. Yeah, I think it’s a little odd that for the last month you have done nothing but nonstop nag for me to bag a wife so that you get your hands on this funnel, your fortune, and you will not answer my calls or call me back to tell you exactly what it is that you want to hear.

I asked the risk check woman to marry me. She hasn’t accepted the proposal quite yet, but let’s just say I am very confident that you will. Leo, it is clear that you are a loyal and devoted friend of Gwen’s, and I’m sure it hasn’t been easy having to watch over the years as various men of questionable character have caused her pain.

Yep. Just like the man of questionable character standing right in front of me. But what you don’t realize is that you and I we’re not enemies. We are allies because we want the same exact thing. Oh, please. And that is to see. This rare and, and wondrous woman whom we both love, happy and safe. Now, there is nothing in this world that I want more than to marry you, Gwen.

But if you can’t find it within your heart to grant us your blessing, well then I will withdraw my proposal once.

I realize that you were just trying to get Matty to stop being an absolutely royal pain in the ass, but, um, I will have, you know that I do not need his or any man’s blessing to marry you. Now, yes, of course. I, I didn’t mean to offend you, but it’s just that I know how close you and Leo are, and I would hate to ever put you in the position of having to choose between me and your friend because you know damn well that she would choose me.

Nabi, please stop it, Leo. Now I know that this is all happening very fast. What is, you mean you suddenly getting physical with me and staring into my eyes? No, I mean, somebody falling in love with your BFF and proposing to her. Oh that. Mm-hmm. And if Gwen does decide to be my bride, do you think you could reserve judgment and allow me the opportunity of finally giving her the happiness that she’s earned?

So do you need a number for how worried you should be about me and Sarah? Huh? No. You’ve always been honest with me about her. Just like you’ve always been honest with me about your feelings for Brady. Which is why we’ve been taking it slow. And slow is good, right? Yeah, it is. Uh, it was, but uh, I wanna move on.

That’s fair. I mean, I know what’s going on between us. It’s brand new, but I, it just feels right. It does to me too. I’m so glad to hear you say that. Actually, I was just talking to Nicole about this, huh? Well, I bet she was thrilled. Oh yeah. Really thrilled. Yeah. No, not at all. But I did tell her that even though she’s one of my best friends, she is.

Not gonna talk me out of exploring things with you. So she agreed to back off? No, not at all. But we did talk. She asked me questions, she gave me her opinions. And um, you know, we talked about you like any other relationship, and I feel like that’s a semblance of acceptance. My resignation. What does she ask?

You know, the usual. Okay. Like one of the first things she asked was whether we had slept together. And what did you tell her? I was vague. I’m a lady. I do not kiss and tell. That’s good to know. Wait, does that mean that you’re not gonna tell her about this?

I’ll go get rid of.

So tell how are you a Hypocrites loan?

Come on. You know, you can tell me anything.

I did something that might really hurt Eric. Let me guess. You were screwing around. What’s, no. Why would you say that? Because I know you and I know you’re not exactly a one man kind of girl. Yeah, it was with Eric. It’s different. He’s, he’s just not like any of the other guys I’ve been with. So you finally found someone you’re serious about.

Yeah. I love him. And now you are worried that you’ve done something that’s gonna come between you. How bad boy is it? Oh, it doesn’t. It doesn’t matter. Simon, come on. Your boyfriend would be the first one to tell you that confession is good for this whole. So tell Brother Colin, how are you sinned against Eric?

Eric’s ex-wife? Nicole Walker is pregnant and the child could be his.

I know you think my relationship with Sloan is a bad idea. No, stop. Sorry. I am sorry, I, you don’t owe me an explanation. Well, it seems like you need one. Well, I,

I was just thrown off guard when Sloan blurted out that you two were trying to have a baby. Okay. Was, I mean, was she just trying to get a rise outta me? No, I think it’s more than that. I think she’s excited about the idea.

Okay, well, having a baby, was it saloon’s idea? We came to it together. Slung saw, she saw how disappointed I was when we found out the baby was DJ’s.

You were I, I mean, uh, I know that you’ve always wanted to be a father. I just wasn’t sure, especially since we both know how complicated this would’ve been, right? But I know somehow we would’ve made it work.

Have to admit a part of me was hope, hoping that baby was mine.

Oh, ah, are you all right?

Oh,

So, so you’re telling me that this Nicole woman is pregnant with your boyfriend’s baby and she doesn’t know that it’s his, I said it might be his, it could still be EJ Damir, right? Because neither of them were actually tested. I swabbed my own cheek and that’s what the lab got sent. Interesting. So the only thing that we do know is that.

You are not the father of this child. I’m glad you find this so amusing. Come what you want me to feel? Sorry for you? You got what you wanted then you, Eric, is free to be with you. Yeah, but I feel terrible about it. Not terrible enough to tell the truth. Look, when I found out that Nicole was pregnant, I started thinking about everyone I’ve lost.

Mom, dad, and now you. I’m right here. For how long, Colin? You’re going away to prison. We see. Anyway, the point is, is I was terrified of losing Eric to Nicole cuz if he finds out that she’s carrying his child, then missed, a good guy will go running him back to her. Eric’s always wanted to be a father and he and Nicole have like just decades of history, so it’s bad.

So what you were doing was leveling the playing field. You did what you had to do to hold onto someone you love. There’s no shame in that. Sloan. Oh, there’s shame and deception, Colin. Just let it go. Enjoy the victory after everything that we’ve lost. You deserve a win. Yeah, I suppose I do. Just trying to make up for what I did.

You mean for taking away a baby from Eric? That might be his. And how are you gonna make up for that? By giving him a baby that we know for sure is his.

Oh, yeah. Okay. It’s, it’s gone. Are you sure you’re okay? You know what, I don’t, I don’t know what the pain was, but it’s passed. Well, do you want to go get it checked out? Oh. No, it was probably the peanut butter and onion sandwich I had for lunch. And the butter and onion. Yeah, with a cinnamon raisin bagel.

Oh, that sounds delicious. I know. Gray beans. I would explain it. Yeah. Ow. I’m gonna go find ej. No, no, no. You’re not gonna find him. Why? Well, he’s hasn’t been here for a while. That’s why I was so upset when he came in earlier. Where is he? I dunno. He went away on a last minute business trip and I haven’t heard from him since.

He hasn’t called, well he sent the occasional text. Where is he? Did he say when he was coming back? No. What the hell is he up to? Is he bailing out on you in this pregnancy? You know what, I don’t. I don’t wanna talk about it. Okay. Oh God. I’m taking you to the hospital. Come on.

Oh,

so not so long ago you wanted my head on a spike. Now you want my blessing to marry Gwen. Not to mention you’re warming up my shoulders. I was rightfully upset with you for costing me that emerald. But things have changed now. Gwen is the only treasure that matters to me. Oh, well that is awfully sweet, isn’t it?

Leo, in a dime store Saccharin kind of way. Aaliyah, please can we put our differences behind us? You’re clearly very important to the woman that I love and therefore, Very important to me. Okay, fine. Fine. You said all the right things, albeit in a very insincere way. So it all rang hollow, but maybe that is me just being overly cynical and mistrustful because my parents treated me like crap.

Consequently, I have never felt respected. Love didn’t have serious self-esteem issues. Oh, for God’s sake. Dimitri’s not your shrink, Matty. Well, forgive me for being open, honest, and authentic. And if Gwen had, let me finish, what I was going to say was,

I will allow this marriage against my better judgment. Wow. Wow. How very generous of you. Indeed. Thank you very much for your grudging permission, Matty. And might I remind you both that I have not given Dimitri Nancy yet, and given that you two have now kissed and made up, you know what? Maybe you two should just ride off into the sunset together.

You know what? I’m pretty sure that we are the better couple now, Gwen, I love you. I love you so much, but you don’t have to answer me right now. Tonight my mother is throwing an engagement party for another happy couple. My Uncle Stephan and his Gabriela, and nothing would make me happier than having you there on my arm.

Who knows? Maybe the romantic occasion will inspire you to accept this ring.

Johnny, I I thought you were staying with Chanel. Yeah, yeah. No, uh, Paulina came home, so I, I left to give him some privacy. How are Chanel doing? Not great. It’s a terrible loss for, for all of them. For, yeah. I’m so sorry for what they’re going through. Me too. Uh, but look, I was, uh, I was hoping that maybe you and I could still go out, grab some dinner, maybe catch a late movie I already ate.

I made fish tacos. Yeah. Oh, oh, I’m, I’m sorry. Was I, uh, was I interrupting something? Actually, you were, when you called and canceled. I made plans with Trip. Well, I better just, uh, leave you to him then. Great, great. What, what is it? Dr. Sitz has the flu. I had to go cover her shift. Like I, I really don’t wanna leave.

I had a really great time tonight. Me too.

Maybe tomorrow we can pick up where we left off Maybe. Johnny,

good luck.

Well, uh, it seems like you’re available tonight after all. Look, I know trip made dinner, so, uh, What do you say about getting some dessert?

So,

uh, Still wanna take things slow. Well, like you said, this feels right. It does. But I can see where this is going and I just, I don’t wanna rush you. Sorry. Do you wanna wait? Not even a little bit.

Whoa. What are you doing? Oh, I’m sorry. Did you wanna take my shirt off? No, I just went, why here? Uh, do you want her first time to be on the couch? No, I don’t. So, uh, you bed online.

Yes. Yes. Does that mean No. No. Wait, now I’m lost. As am I? Yes. To the party pause on the marriage proposal. Fair enough. I’m sorry if that disappoints you. Knowing that we’ll be together this evening, how can I possibly be disappointed and who knows? Sometime soon we’ll be together. Every evening,

get a room. You two just left this one.

Oh, what’s going on there, buddy? Oh, what? We asked for three scoops. I know you ordered, uh, strawberry, which whatever. I ordered chocolate because I’m not a monster. And the cookies and cream in the middle, we’re supposed to be sharing. Okay. Mm-hmm. I admit the sharing gene doesn’t exactly run in my family, but I could learn, are you sacrificing your cherry?

Well, that’s not much. I like you. And for the record, this is my first bite of cookies and cream. I won’t go beyond my half. Oh, you better not. I’m watching you Damara. Right. I got your shit.

Uh, trip. Hey, hey, hey guys. What’s going on, Nicole? She needs to doctor right away. What’s wrong? Uh, uh, I’m two months pregnant and I, I have a siring pain right here. I have a history of miscarriages. And this is a high risk pregnancy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Look, Let’s get you to an exam room. Uh, see what’s happening tomorrow this way.

Okay. We didn’t, we didn’t make it very far. I’m working on it far to either bedroom. Sorry. I’m. Kind of eager. Okay. E eager is good. So your room, I didn’t make my bed and my room is super messy. Okay, well then let’s go make a mess of mine.

What do you think? I think Count Chola doesn’t deserve you looking that hot tonight. Come on. I thought you were gonna give him a chance. I am. I will. I But Gwynnie, I’ve said it before. It bears repeating. I just want you to be happy. Thank you, Matt. But listen, if anything juicy happens at the party tonight, I promise I will.

Text Lady Whistleblower post taste. You better.

Oh, I hope this one works out for me, buddy, because usually when a guy seems too good to be true, he’s no good at he coming.

Well, well, well, if it isn’t my favorite young cousin, oh, well, I am flattered Wendy Shin. This is my cousin who I just found out I had Dimitri Vaughn Locher. Nice to meet you. My pleasure is all mine. Looks like you’ve made some damage out of that Sunday. We’re on a date hoping for a little alone time.

Johnny. What we’re family, right. We can be honest with each other. Of course. I was just stopping by to see if you were coming to the party and what, what party might that be? The engagement party that my mother is throwing for your Uncle Stephan and Gabby Hernandez. It’s just at the bistro. Oh, well that sounds great.

But our plans are, I love a party. Do you wanna go? Sure. I mean, it might be a little weird since I was almost Gabby’s sister-in-law. Oh. But, um, I really like her and I’m glad that she’s marrying the man she loves. Wonderful. Hmm. Well, I guess that settles it We’ll, uh, see you at the party.

So wait, you, you are trying to have a baby with Eric just to hold onto him. That seems a bit desperate. That is not what I am doing. Are you sure? I love Eric and I feel guilty about costing him the chance to be a dad even though you are not sure that Nicole’s baby is actually his right. I. No. I mean, odds are it’s e J’s baby.

I mean, those two are actually together, you know? And Eric and Nicole, they hooked up once when they were both highest kites. But anyway, the point is, is that Eric desperately wants to be a father and you wanna be a mother. Yeah. You and I are. All our family has left. Of course. I want our family to grow, and if Eric is the father, then my.

Son or my daughter, she has a real chance at being happy,

and I hope it happens. I hope you have Eric’s baby and. Nicole’s baby isn’t his. Either way, I’ve fixed it so that neither Nicole or Eric or anyone else will ever know

your vitals all look good. Uh, but we should get some blood work in the sonogram, see what’s going on with the pregnancy. I’m gonna step out and find the be on call. So sit tight. Okay? Okay, thanks. Hang in there. Thanks.

I think the trip assumes that I’m the, oh, it’s that it doesn’t matter, right? What matters is that I’m here for you. The baby.

Thank you Eric for being here. I, I don’t know what I would do if I was alone right now. You don’t need to worry about that.

Wow. Well, so much for taking it slow. I can honestly say no. I don’t have a single regret about anything, just.

Do you? Maybe we should do it again and find out.

Jack: Have I told you you are a terrific dancer?

[ Diane chuckling ]

Diane: Only when I’m following your lead.

Jack: This evening’s been perfect.

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: Almost.

Diane: Well, it’s a shame that our son feels so alienated from his wife that he needs to get a room here.

Diane: Jack, I have so much to be thankful for, all at once. I feel like the two of us can conquer the world.

[ Diane chuckling ]

Diane: Yeah.


[ Michael sharply exhaling ]

Lauren: Is something the matter?

Michael: No, no, no, no. It’s just, uh, I was setting the stage for our romantic rendezvous and I received an unexpected visitor.

[ Lauren chuckling ]

Lauren: Well, that explains why I had an extra hour to kill before I arrived.

Michael: Sorry about that.

Lauren: Well, who was it?

Michael: The not-so-late, great Phyllis Summers.

Lauren: You saw Phyllis? Oh, my god. How– how was she? How did she seem?

Michael: Oh, you know, same old Phyllis. She was wearing a trench coat and dark glasses to avoid being recognized.

Lauren: I would’ve given anything to see her. Oh, my god. It must have been just so surreal.

Michael: Well, that’s one word for it. Behold, behold.

Lauren: What?

Michael: What your best pal walked in on, not to mention, myself, barely clothed.

[ Lauren laughing ]

Lauren: This is so romantic. The candles, the flowers, and ooh, look at this. My favorite Champagne. You put a lot of effort into this.

Michael: You are so worth it.

Lauren: Ah, and then Phyllis crashes this?

Michael: Yeah. Where she wiped out an entire platter of chocolate-covered strawberries.

[ Lauren chuckling ] Uh, well, you must get an appetite running away from the law.

Lauren: Yes, and look, I really want to partake in all of this, but come here. First, I want to hear everything that you and Phyllis talked about.

[ Michael chuckling ]

Lauren: Have you figured out a way for her to come home without her life being wrecked?


Summer: Kyle. Kyle! [ Sighing ] Where is he?

[ Summer sighing ]

Kyle: We’re completely in sync. Just proof we were meant to be. And everything we went through in the past, breaking up, getting back together again, breaking up again.

Summer: Getting back together again.

Kyle: It’s just proof that once we finally made it permanent, we were destined to last forever.

[phone chimes]

Phyllis: (via text) Spoke with Michael. May finally see a way out of all this.

Summer: This is all your fault.


Kyle: Wow. That was–

Audra: Something we both needed.

Kyle: Apparently.

[ Kyle grunting ]

Audra: Hey.

Kyle: Um, hm.

Audra: Mm, everything good?

Kyle: Yeah. Yeah, definitely.

Audra: Listen, this was something really fun that happened. No more, no less. So, if you’re thinking about making, you know, a smooth escape, like, that’s cool with me. Like, I get it. No pressure from me.

Kyle: I don’t want to go home. From the very first touch,


[ Summer sighing ]

Nick: This a good time? I’ll take that as a yes.

Summer: Dad, how are you after everything that happened?

Nick: Oh. You mean with Cameron Kirsten? How’d you hear about that?

Summer: Faith told me when she was letting me know that she was headed back to Michigan. Oh, my god, it’s horrible. Look, I know that this might sound bad, but I’m glad that he’s dead.

Nick: That’s not bad at all. Cameron meant business. He was determined to take out as many of us as possible.

Summer: In a sewer? I–

Nick: It’s just like his mind. Sitting over in that cell, rotting away, obsessing about Sharon. I guess he thought this would bring things full circle.

Summer: Are Sharon and Faith really okay?

Nick: They’re doing the best they can considering the traumatic experience they went through.

Summer: It’s so scary. I mean, if that had happened to Harrison I’d–

Nick: Summer, listen, we’re dealing with it, all right? We’re all tough. We’re determined to get through it.

Summer: How’s everything else? You okay?

Nick: I don’t know if you heard this or not, but I’m taking some time away from Newman Enterprises. It’s not my call, but with everything that’s happened, maybe it’s for the best. Also, Sally lost the baby.

Summer: Dad, when?

Nick: The day Faith got kidnapped. Adam was with her. I didn’t even know about it until after it happened.

Summer: That is so awful. I– I know how much this baby meant to you.

Nick: Yeah, it’s a lot to deal with all at once.

Summer: How is Sally doing?

Nick: Not great.

Summer: I– I’m so sorry.

Nick: Thanks. So, I know you never would have called me over at this hour unless there was something wrong. What’s going on?

Summer: Oh, I don’t know, Dad. I– I can’t pile anything else onto you.

Nick: Hey, I’m your dad. Pile away.

Summer: No, seriously. It’s okay, let’s talk next week when all of this isn’t so fresh.

Nick: Summer, you’re anxious, and something’s going on, so talk to me.

Summer: I don’t even know where to start. God. [ sobbing ] I have messed up my marriage so bad.

Nick: How?

Summer: Kyle wants to separate. He asked me to move out.

Nick: I’m so sorry, Summer. I’m sorry. All right, I want you to talk to me, okay? Tell me everything.


[ Audra moaning ]


Michael: I laid out a scenario for what Phyllis could expect, legally speaking, if she were to surrender.

Lauren: With you representing her?

Michael: That would be the plan.

Lauren: Can you keep her out of prison?

[ Michael sighing ]

Michael: There are no guarantees.

Lauren: I knew you were gonna say that.

Michael: Look, her best shot is to come in from the cold and at least let me try.

Lauren: But she has to be terrified to come all the way back here and then wind up in a cell.

Michael: Well, she is, but her only other option is equally grim.

Lauren: Right. Looking over her shoulder, the rest of her life is no choice.

Michael: Or she could put her faith in me, which seems a no-brainer.

Lauren: Honey, she’s scared.

Michael: As well she should be. Do you know what she told me? “Let me think about it.” Before she ate the last strawberry and vamoosed. Now, all I can do is, wait. Wait!

Lauren: I hope she makes the right choice because I really miss my friend.

Michael: Me too. You know, I’ve known Phyllis has been alive for a while, but seeing her in person…

Lauren: How did she seem? I mean, she’s been through so much.

Michael: That’s exactly what you said. She’s worried and afraid and hiding behind a big old wall of bravado.

Lauren: Hm. That’s our Phyllis.

Michael: It was incredible to see her, but at the same time, uh, it was heartbreaking.

Lauren: I wish I could go back in time and just talk her out of that insane scheme.

Michael: No, no, no, listen to me. Phyllis got herself into that jam, and I intend to get her out of it, but she’s gonna have to at least pay for some of her crimes. And her life will never be the same.

Lauren: Don’t be so sure. Diane played dead for many years. Came back and look at her life now.


[ Diane chuckling ]

Diane: Another toast? How many is that?

Jack: I’ve lost count.

[ Diane chuckling ]

Diane: That’s my favorite number.

Jack: To your resilience. No matter what life throws you, you never let it keep you down.

Diane: I’ll drink to that.

Jack: I mean that. I really do admire that you have your problems like anyone else, your insecurities, your worries, your frustrations. You never let it derail you. Not Ashley’s resistance and ugliness, not Phyllis eluding the law after the abominable things she did to you.

Diane: Well, one thing that does worry me is that Kyle came here to sleep to get even farther away from Summer, it– it hurts my heart.

Jack: Yeah, mine too.

Diane: Yeah. But still, you and I had some steep mountains to climb to get to this point and I– you know, I have to hope that things will work out for them, too.

Jack: I really believe they will. But they may have to learn the hard way about love and forgiveness.


Diane: You know, we’re lucky, Jack. One good thing about getting older is that we’ve been around long enough to know that struggle is just a part of life.

Jack: Thinking about the kids again?

Diane: Yeah. You know, you take the bad with the good and you cherish what you have when you have it. It’s a lesson I failed to learn ’til I had lost everything. Or I should say I threw it away with both hands, but I was– I was younger then, I– I made a lot of mistakes.

Jack: Didn’t we all?

Diane: Yeah. But having you back in my life, it, uh, it makes me want to be better. To– to be a better person. I mean, I’m so grateful for every moment that we have and I’m– I’m– I’m not taking any of it for granted.

Jack: I think luck, I think fate play a part in all of this. How lucky we are that life brought us back together when we could really be partners.

Diane: Yeah. I’ll try not to ruin things this time.

[ Diane chuckling ]

Jack: No, I think we are both walking into this marriage with our eyes wide open. You are not perfect. God knows I am not perfect–

Diane: Oh, hey, hey, hey, watch what you say about my fiancé. He’s pretty perfect. Okay, can you, um, can you allow me one moment of pettiness? I take great pride in knowing that Phyllis and Ashley are still stuck in the past. They’re still dwelling on old grievances. I actually feel sorry for them.

Jack: You know what? I don’t find that petty at all. I absolutely agree.


Kyle: You hungry? Maybe you want to order room service or go out.

Audra: I have to be honest with you. I really do have a huge day tomorrow. I’m taking the reins at Newman Media while, uh, Nate fills in for Nick.

Kyle: Hm.

Audra: So, I actually need you to make that smooth exit we talked about.

Kyle: Oh, you’re kicking me out. I feel so used.

Audra: Listen, I like pillow talk as much as the next girl, okay? Tonight, however–

Kyle: Your mind is on work.

Audra: Yes.

Kyle: I get it.

Audra: Look, if I misled you in any way, I–

Kyle: No, no, not at all. You’ve been very upfront about everything. I appreciate the honesty. It was fantastic.

Audra: Well, I’m glad you feel that way.

Kyle: So, I suppose I should get dressed.

Audra: Hm. You can do that. After we shower.

Kyle: Ooh, I think that’s one hell of a great idea.


Nick: I mean, I’m sorry, you are struggling with this. I cannot believe your mother faked her own death and has put you and Daniel through this. You don’t deserve it. Where is she now?

Summer: I don’t know. She won’t say. She’s trying to protect me and Daniel, and herself.

Nick: Yeah, probably more herself.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: She did offer to turn herself in if it would save my marriage, but– but I couldn’t let her do that. And it wouldn’t have helped anyway. We need to keep searching for a way for her to come home without being arrested for Stark’s murder. Dad, what are you thinking?

Nick: I– I mean, what am I thinking? Uh, I’m– I’m grateful that your mother’s still alive.

Summer: Only now you could kill her?

Nick: My feelings are complicated. I cannot understand why she’s making you feel responsible for solving problems that she created.

Summer: What else is new? Though, if I’m being fair, and if we’re being fair to her, a lot of this is Stark’s fault. And not to mention the fact that Diane faked her death and tried to pin it on other people and it never caught up to her, so I know mom’s logic was really, really screwy, but I do see that there was some justice to it.

Nick: Sweetheart, I know you love your mother, but we’re also talking about Kyle’s mother.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: You’re right. I tried to protect my mom. And it turns out it might have cost me my marriage.


Lauren: How many times have we said that Phyllis is her own worst enemy?

Michael: Too many to count.

Lauren: I mean, since the day we met her, it has been one ghastly mistake after another.

Michael: If we were ever asked to print out a timeline of all her misdeeds, our printer would explode.

[ Lauren laughing ]

Lauren: Isn’t that the truth? And yet, god help me, I adore her.

[ Lauren chuckling ]

Michael: Yeah. Likewise.

Lauren: What do you think it would take for Phyllis to turn over a new leaf, huh?


Summer: When we thought Mom was dead, I– I couldn’t even stand to be in the same room as Kyle. He kept on shielding Diane and he– he wouldn’t even accept the possibility that his mom had murdered mine. And– and it made me so angry. But then suddenly there was mom. And she had killed Stark, and she was asking me not to tell anyone that she was alive.

Nick: Including Kyle.

Summer: Especially Kyle. Because of course he would have gone straight to the police. And– and Mom needed time to be able to prove that it was self-defense. And I went along with it. I froze Kyle out to protect mom, even though it meant prolonging his mom’s suffering. And I– I knew that it was horrible even when I was doing it. But I just– I couldn’t risk anybody finding out the truth before she’d come up with a plausible defense.

Nick: And the longer this dragged on, the more distance it created between you and Kyle.

Summer: [ Sighing ] Dad, it was such a disaster. Kyle was so upset that Diane was in jail, and there I was, and I had information that could have gotten her out and I didn’t do that. I put Mom first. I put her ahead of Kyle’s feelings. Ahead of our marriage, and… ahead of what I knew was right. But I had convinced myself that– that I didn’t have a choice, that I– I had to do what I did. He won’t even look at me now and I– I don’t know what to do. God. [ Sobbing ] How do I fix this?

Nick: Oh, my god. [ Sighing ] Your mother, um… she put you in a terrible position, Summer. All right? Now, I have to believe that Kyle’s eventually gonna see that. He loves you. He’s gonna see what this is doing to you and how much you regret hurting him.

Summer: I– I’d like to think that. That Kyle’s just reacting right now, but… we have such a long history. And it’s taken us a long time to build up this trust. And I destroyed it.


Kyle: I’m glad we ran into each other.

Audra: Mm-hmm. So am I. I had a fabulous time and I’m sure I’m gonna have a great night’s sleep. And I’m sure you will, too.

Kyle: No doubt.

Audra: If this happens again, great. If not, I had a sensational time.

Kyle: Agreed. Good night, Audra.

Audra: Good night.

[ Audra sighing ]


Jack: Hey.

Kyle: Hey. Uh, what– what are you doing here?

Jack: Oh, well, we’re just headed home after a lovely evening.

Diane: What about you?


Jack: We don’t mean to pry. We saw you headed upstairs earlier and, uh, assumed that you needed a room because of the situation with Summer.

Kyle: I– I needed to get out of the way from the tension in the house.

Diane: A nice hot shower to clear your head.

Kyle: Uh, yeah. Yeah. It, um, it helped, but I realized staying away from the house isn’t going to solve anything. I want to be near Harrison when he wakes up.

Jack: Everyone needs to get away sometimes.


Michael: What would it take to rehabilitate Phyllis?

[ Lauren laughing ]

Lauren: Can people change that much?

Michael: Hmm. I did. Prison helped.

Lauren: Yeah, but with Phyllis, she’s been there, done that. I mean, even hitting rock bottom didn’t exactly have an effect on her.

Michael: Well, maybe that’s the answer, in the end. You know, Phyllis is Phyllis. Maybe there’s no saving the woman.

Lauren: You don’t believe that. And neither do I. Of course, people can evolve.

Michael: People, yes. But Phyllis…

Lauren: Well… [ Lauren clicking her tongue ] …If she wanted something badly enough, maybe it’s just finding the right motivation.


Nick: Summer, I understand why you’re worried this rift between you and Kyle is permanent, but I really believe you can get through it if it’s something you both want.

Summer: That’s the thing. He’s so mad at me that I– I don’t think that Kyle wants to fix this. This might really be the end for us.

Nick: I wish I had the, uh, just the right words that would help you feel more hopeful.

[ Summer sighing ]

Summer: It’s okay. God, my stomach is in knots. My brain keeps telling me to fight for my family, but I just feel so lost right now.

Nick: I’m sorry Phyllis put this in motion. She was asking far too much of you.

Summer: Right, but I could have said no. And I did. I told her that it was horrible of her to put me in this position. All because she hates Diane, I–

Nick: And what did she say to that?

Summer: That I was right to resent her. That she felt awful. But she couldn’t handle being locked up and I couldn’t handle her going on the run. It would have been like she died all over again.

Nick: I wish you’d come to me sooner so I could help.

Summer: Yeah, I really wish that I had too, but once I confided in Daniel and he started telling everybody, it just– it unraveled so quickly. [ Summer sighing ] I know that Mom is Stark’s victim… but I cannot help but hold her responsible for this mess.

Nick: As well you should.

Summer: You know, I really wish that I could just be happy that Mom was alive. I really do. But everything with Kyle is so bad and it’s just getting worse and it’s all because she has this grudge against Diane. I mean, I am so stupid. I should’ve never agreed to keep this secret. It’s come with too high of a price.

Nick: Look, I know you love your mother, but there’s always a trade-off with her.  [ Nick sighing ] I mean, she is a cyclone. She mows down everything in her path.

Summer: Including my marriage, apparently. I– I seriously don’t know if Kyle’s ever gonna forgive me or if this separation is gonna turn into a divorce. [ Summer sighing ] And the worst part is after all of this– after all of this, we don’t– we don’t even have a way to bring Mom home without her being arrested for Stark’s murder. So I just– I feel like I’ve already lost them both. God. I’m just scared that no matter how much I try, there’s– there’s really not a way for me to make this right. [ Summer sighing ]


[ Michael laughing ]

Michael: I love your optimism. It’s one of my favorite traits of yours.

Lauren: And I am banking on your problem-solving abilities.

Michael: You make me sound so shady.

Lauren: Well…

Michael: All right, fine, fine, I have a gift.

Lauren: You do. You are a brilliant attorney. You come up with solutions that no one else can even think of, even if they’re not always…

Michael: Uh-huh, according to guidelines.

Lauren: Hmm. You are remembered by the rules that you break.

Michael: Who said that?

Lauren: MacArthur. And he should know.  And I have no doubt that you’re going to help Phyllis.

Michael: No, I–I intend to as long as she doesn’t disappear on me, but she’s gonna have to meet me halfway.

Lauren: And what does that look like?

Michael: Phyllis is gonna have to temper her expectations. Even if–if I get rid of the murder rap,  she’s still facing a boatload of charges. And there are gonna be repercussions.  It’s absurd to think otherwise.

Lauren: Well, if anyone, anyone can get through to her,  it’s you.  I have faith.

Michael: Oh. Oh, I see what you’re doing. You make it sound like flattery, but that’s a challenge.

Lauren: [ Laughing] Well, then consider the gauntlet thrown. You know what? Forget about that.  Forget about Phyllis, forget about everything, except the two of us in our own private oasis.  I’m so proud of you. And I love you so much. And I cannot wait for us to start a romantic evening. [ Chuckling]

Michael: More?

Lauren: No.


Diane:  I’m glad that you were able to realize that you need to put Harrison first.

Jack: And I second that.

Diane: Yeah. And Kyle, I am– I am so sorry for my lapse in judgment earlier.  I shouldn’t have exaggerated how upset he was. I just– I just wanted to bring you and Summer closer together, and I know it wasn’t my place, and I shouldn’t have done it. And I promise you I will never do it again.

Kyle: Mom, I don’t want to discuss this right now.  See you at the house.

Jack: He seem a little off to you?

Diane: Off how?

Jack:  I don’t know, out of sorts, a little nervous.

Diane: He seems exhausted, but he is under a lot of stress, Jack.

Jack: Yeah, you’re right. I’m making too much of it.

Diane: Yeah, I just hate seeing him like this. I wish there was something I could do to help, but apparently what I did made things worse.

Jack: I think our son had a good idea that we should table all of this right now. Besides, I want to leave on a high from our incredible evening together.

Diane: Okay. That works.


Audra: “Kyle Abbott named CEO of Marchetti as Jabot acquires legendary Italian couturier.” Hmm. Oh, nice pic.


Nick: Feel better?

Summer: No. [ Sighing ] Okay, a little. Look, don’t laugh, but the only other person that I’ve even been able to talk about any of this with is… Diane.

Nick: Not laughing.

Summer: She even went to Kyle and tried to reason with him, but it definitely did not work.

Nick: [ Clicks tongue] Summer, this is one of those times where you’re just gonna have to be really, really patient.  You know, let things play out.  Things are gonna have to get worse before they get better, I bet.  But you gotta give Kyle some space, more space than you’re probably comfortable with, but when he’s ready, he’ll come to you to talk.

Summer: And I’ll listen this time.  I’ve got this really bad habit of trying to argue my point and prove that I’m right instead of doing the whole give-and-take thing. I don’t know where I got that from.

Nick: Yeah, I don’t know. It’s a mystery.

Summer: [ Chuckling ] Look… Uh, I’m sorry that I didn’t come to you sooner.  Like you said, if I had, maybe I wouldn’t even be in this fix, but I could be in a whole different fix entirely. One that wouldn’t be so destructive. [ Chuckling]

Nick: [ Clicks tongue] I get it.  Your mom can be very convincing. And she’s not above really slathering on the guilt, especially when it suits her.  But that’s why I think eventually Kyle’s gonna  come around because he understands  how your mom likes to manipulate everyone.

Summer: Don’t we all?

Nick: As far as coming to me sooner, don’t worry about it. With all the turmoil you’ve been going through,  I get it.

Summer: I wish that Kyle could hear you say that.

Nick: Well, I could talk to Kyle if you want, you know. Just the two of us.  It may not work, but it might be worth a shot.


Michael: [ Laughing and sighing]


Audra: [Sighing]

[ phone chimes ]

Nate: (via text) Ready for tomorrow? Our worlds are about to change.

Audra: Maybe mine already has.


Diane: [Laughing]

Jack: Nick.

Nick: Jack, Diane.

Diane: Ah, good to see you, Nick.

Nick: You, too.

Summer: Do you guys know where Kyle is? Ha– have you seen him?

Jack: Actually, we just saw him at the club.  He’s on his way here now.

Summer: Oh, good. Good.

Nick: All right, I’m gonna take off. If you need me, you call me. I don’t care how late it is, okay?

Summer: Thank you, Dad, I will.

Nick: All right. Good night, guys.

Jack and Diane: Good night.

Jack: If there’s anything we can do to help, anything at all?

Summer: It’s okay.

Diane: Um, you want us to wait up with you until Kyle gets here?

Summer: No, you guys go ahead.

Diane: All right, good night.

Jack: Get some rest.

Summer: Thanks. [ Sighing]

[ Door slams shut]

Summer: Hi.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hi. Hi. Hi. Uh, come on in. Well, um… …this is a pleasant surprise. What can I do for you? Well, you tell me. You invited me over here, didn’t you? Oh, god. Did I misread the text? Aunt elizabeth. Good. You’re right on time for your date. You son of a bitch. You set this whole thing up, didn’t you?

[ Pounding on door ] Austin: Ava! Come on, now. Open up.

[ Pounding continues ] We need to talk before you get us both killed. Hey. Yeah. You okay? I… I can’t believe thisis our last night together for possibly three years. It just feels wrong. It feels so wrong. It’s the only choice I could make. I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror. I couldn’t — I couldn’t be a father to — to scout. I couldn’t even hold my head up if I did otherwise. I know it was short notice when I asked you to stop by.

[ Chuckles ] And you brought the baby! Yeah. Oh, he’s so adorable. Thank you. He’s really growing, right? Yeah, um, I just came from work, and ace was supposed to get picked up by spencer at daycare, but he had other plans, so… that’s actually one of the reasons why I called you over here, um, because there’s something that I think that we should discuss. Okay. Um, what about? You and spencer. And how you plan to co-parent ace. You and joss came here alone? We sure did. There was a bar fight. The cops had to come. We got carded. And hopefully this visit will be less eventful. Esme certainly picked the right spot to score a black market phone. I’m just hoping that we can find a witness who can confirm that oz haggerty sold her one. Trina, this whole thing is convoluted. We already had the evidence that we needed. Yeah, but I’m talking about real proof. Maybe a-a bartender or a waitress saw oz negotiating with esme, maybe even giving her the phone. You don’t feel that this is a waste of time? We need something real, not some made-up evidence that your uncle victor left you. Have a little faith. Well, forgive me for not being overly optimistic about getting help or cooperation from a bunch of lowlifes. Oh, maybe you’re the wrong person to be asking. Well, to us and a well-deserved night out… where no one will ever find us. Oh, no. I hate to disappoint you.

[ Sighs ]


I do not want to see you right now. I don’t recall offering you a drink. Oh, I-I think a drink is the least that you owe me after what I did for you today. Oh, you mean scaring me to death? Making me believe that my child had been kidnapped? No, I mean staging an incident that got the nanny out of the way without “a,” getting avery kidnapped for real, and, “b,” not getting your nanny killed. Because make no mistake, ava, if mason had thought for even one second that pilar was somehow inhibiting your ability to spy on sonny… pilar would meet with a very unfortunate accident.

[ Sighs ] And that’s just not something I can live with. So, yeah, I made the call. I thought it was better for pilar to lose her job than lose her life. Bottoms up. What the hell have you gotten me into? Spencer is ace’s brother, not his parent. Ace’s actual father, nikolas, decided to run away rather than face justice for keeping me prisoner. That leaves me ace’s only parent, right? From a legal standpoint, you are absolutely correct. But the day-to-day realities of raising a child? Sometimes they’re not so cut and dry. In fact, if I can remember correctly, they’re exhausting and — and — and messy. Believe me, I-I get it. You know, I’ve been there. I’ve been in your situation, and I know what it feels like to have somebody who’s really supporting you in it, 100%. Yeah. And for me, that was my ex-husband, marcus taggert.

[ Chuckles ] And for you, that appears to be spencer. He ‘s clearly extremely devotedto his baby brother. Yes, um, spencer does care a great deal about ace, but when it comes to actual caregiving, sometimes spencer is available and accommodates. Other times not. I mean, it’s like a constant negotiation. That’s why I was thinking that it might be a good idea for you and spencer to take a parenting class. Together. Wow. This place has not changed at all. I still can’t believe that the two of you came here like undercover agents, trying to get dirt on esme. Yeah, and here we are again. Great minds think alike. Only this time with backup. In case you guys start another barroom brawl?

[ Laughs ] Technically, we didn’t start it. Alright, never mind. Never mind. I’m just happy that we both have backup, so… is this the kind of place that you’re used to, dex?

[ Scoffs ] I’ve seen my fair share of places like this, especially in the service. They’re all over the world. They have their advantages. Well, hopefully we can find something real that ties esme to haggerty. “Something real”? Mm-hmm. As in…not fake? Like the evidence your uncle victor left you. It just kind of came out. Listen, I get why you would want to use that, alright? We all know that esme is guilty. That’s kind of my point. It’s not considered framing someone if the person actually did the crime. And I know that my uncle victor was insane, but he was also a pro. The evidence he left me would hold up to scrutiny. And I just feel like we’re wasting a lot of time when we already have what we need to take esme down. So, you’re saying you kept the fake evidence? I wonder what those four are up to. Hey, you know what? I don’t give a damn what they’re doing here. I’m off duty and with my girl at the bar of her choice. Mm-hmm. As far as I’m concerned, we’re the only ones here. Okay. Okay? I should have done more. I feel so responsible. Hey, carly. Carly, we’re not — you don’t understand. No, no, we’re not doing this tonight. Listen to me. Michael came to me. He wanted me to flip on sonny. He had proof. He had proof. And he said if I testified against sonny that the feds would probably back off and they could keep you out of it all together. But I didn’T. I couldn’t do it, drew. I just couldn’t do it. Because it’s not who you are. I would never expect that. But you’re not culpable. You’re not. All you did was tell me about the plan to merge elq and aurora. I’m the one who acted on insider information. I’m guilty. You’re not. Sonny’s not. I mean, well, sonny’s guilty of a whole bunch of things, but he’s not — I don’t care about sonny. My going to prison has nothing to do with sonny. It has everything to do with me. You’re going to prison to protect me, and I don’t know if I can live with that. Wow. Those are gorgeous. Mm. Where did you get them? I ordered them on your phone, but they’re pink, aunt elizabeth’s favorite. Mm-hmm. Do you like them? I love them.

[ Gasps ] I forgot the candle. You can’t have a romantic dinner without candles. And I know I can’t light them, so, daddy, will you please help me? I will light the candles. Cool. Clearly, violet and i need to have a long conversation about boundaries. Looks like we’ve been set up by a pint-sized matchmaker. I guess we’re having a date.


What if I told you that my going to prison isn’t — isn’t really about protecting you? I’d call you a liar. Okay, I do want to protect you. But it’s not only about you. It’s about your children and the extended family that we both share. I think about it a little bit like — I think about it like — like a cost-benefit analysis. If I go to prison, it causes the least amount of collateral damage. It’s just the logical choice. This isn’t spreadsheets and algorithms. There’s nothing logical about this. You’re in this mess because of me? No, it’s the other way around. I’m in this mess because of you. Because you killed your husband and left him in the tack room. It was an accident! I didn’t mean to kill nikolas. I was just trying to stop him, trying to keep him from taking my daughter. You know this! Okay, yeah, but he’s dead, and you left his body out where any-old-body could find him. And guess who did? Mason. And now he’s got us exactly where he wants us. I’m in this mess, ava, because of you. And if you go down for murdering your husband, then I’m gonna go down as an accessory. I’m gonna spend the rest of my life in prison for a killing I had nothing to do with. You offered to help me. Yeah, because you asked. You — aaah. Yeah, and now they’ve got all the leverage over me they could ever possibly want unless they decide to, you know, just let mason do his thing and get us out of the way. Alright, enough with the “they.” Who is the “they”? Who is behind you and mason? Finn: Mm-hmm. Voil! I think you forgot a place setting, sweetheart. Where are you gonna sit? Not with you guys. This is a date, just for the two of you. I’m going to be your server. Please, have a seat.

[ Sighs ] Thank you.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, I’ll get the drinks. Okay.

[ Sighs, chuckles ] It’s, um… it’s been a minute since we spent time together outside of work. I know. That’s why, when I got your text, I-I was thinking that — well, I mean, now I know it wasn’t your text. It was from violet, but I-I… yeah. Never mind. No, no, I-I’d — I’d really like to hear. Ooh. Ahh, look at that. Yeah. Oh, okay. Here you go, sweetheart. Let me — allow me. I got that.

[ Chuckles ]

[ Knock on door ] Oh. Daddy, dinner’s here. You…ordered dinner from my phone? Dessert, too.

[ Door opens ] You know, I, uh — I don’t think I told you, but, um, you did an incredible job officiating at michael and willow’s wedding. Wow. Where did that come from? I don’t know. We just… I-I’ve wanted to tell you, and we haven’t had a lot of time to do this, to just sit and connect with each other ’cause everything’s been so crazy. But you looked so beautiful in that pink dress. You somehow managed to find a way to be, like, appropriate and official, but super, unbelievably smoking hot, all at the same time. I don’t know how you do it. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, I-I-I think. Yeah, you were just warm and loving and… …you looked like you were really happy for them. And you made it about them, not you. Well, ’cause it really was about them. I mean, it was about michael and willow. It was — it was their wedding. Yeah, but not to me. They were saying their vows, and the only thing I could look at was you. I kept the evidence as a plan b, trina. I saw no reason to get rid of it. Right now, esme is being marginally cooperative. But if that should ever change, if she should regain her memories or, uh, revert to being her old self, or worse, take ace and then try to leave the co– I-I don’t know. But then I would at least have some recourse, something that I could go to the cops with. In my experience, taking evidence to law enforcement is more complicated than you think. What makes you say that? I just know that if you show up with this miraculous boatload of evidence, the cops will vet it. And if even one piece doesn’t hold up, you’ll be arrested and charged with obstruction. And what makes you the expert, mr. Combat vet? Let me ask you something. If you were so good, if you were such a talented soldier, why take a job opening doors for my uncle? Joss, let’s go. Lovely as always. There’s no helping this jackass. I don’t want your help. Trina: Spencer! Oh, my god, spencer. You okay?


never met before. They’re not your run-of-the-mill mafia types, okay? They don’t care about codes or territory. They — they could care less about family or honor or any of that. They’re gonna get what they want by any means necessary. And right now, what they want is information about pikeman from sonny, and you’re gonna get it for them. They’ve made that abundantly clear. What isn’t clear is what exactly they want me to give them. Give them what they’re asking for, ava, or they’re just gonna keep ramping up the pressure until you do. Or — or worse. They’ll just get you out of the way and come at sonny a different way. You’re afraid of them, aren’t you? I can see it. Your fear is real… even though everything else about you has been a lie. I understand that you’re scared. I’m scared. I’m guilty. And I can’t stop thinking that it should be me. That would be — I should take the fall. No, that would be a terrible idea. No, because if it were me, they’d probably send me to spring ridge. No, you don’t know that. You don’T. The feds made it pretty clear they were interested in you because of your relationship with sonny. So, in order for you to save yourself, think about it — you would have had to give evidence up… against sonny, which would have torn your family apart. Kristina, avery, even donna someday would have resented you for that. And if you didn’t give up sonny, then joss and michael would have blamed you for sacrificing yourself for a man that they feel betrayed you. It was a lose-lose. But none of that is your fault. It’s my mess. Outcome of my choices. I’m the one who chose to marry sonny, to have kids with him, to have knowledge about his business. That’s on me. Why should you have to pay for it? Well, the answer to that is really simple, carly. Because I love you. G.H. Happens to offer parenting classes. And one starts next week. I appreciate you thinking of me, but I’m — I’m really not sure. I mean, I have work, and I don’t think spencer would… some of the topics are just so practical. Like how to get your baby to sleep through the night, which can be extremely helpful now that you’re working.

[ Chuckles ] And also how to tell the difference between common baby ailments and something more serious. I suppose that would have been useful when ace had colic.

[ Chuckles ] Probably. The main thrust of the course is just to get partners on the same page, to be able to communicate effectively a-and set goals for the baby. And I think that that would be extremely helpful in your case. We do have a lot of last-minute changes. Mm. Having predictable schedules, it can really help with frustration and disappointment. And I get it. Things come up, adjustments need to be made. But if you and spencer really do plan to work together, you can support each other in a calm and organized way. And I just think it would be better for the both of you and especially… ace.

[ Laughs ] You do make some really good points. I’m just not certain that spencer will be willing to take a class with me. It doesn’t hurt to tell him. And you know what? Why don’t you tell him that you are going either way, and then you can give him the option to attend it with you. You know what? He might surprise you. Did you see that? Damn it. Yes, I did. The first one is free. Second one will cost you. Spencer, stop it. Okay, everyone, calm down. Relax. Let it go.

[ Grunting ] Stop it! Spencer! Oh, my god. Are you okay? Okay. Alright. Break it up. You know what? I’m off duty. I’ll handle this, okay? I know these guys. Thank you. Can you get up? Trina: Just breathe. What’s the problem here? Okay, spencer punched him. Yeah, I know. I saw. I saw, too. So, I guess you could press charges on assault if you wanted to, dex. No, I don’t want any trouble. Joss and I’ll just go. Okay, that’s probably the best thing to do. You know, I-I don’t know how many of you guys are actually over 21 to begin with. Alright. I’ll call you. Come on, get up.

[ Groaning ] Let’s go.

[ Groaning ] Hey. As an ex-con, I really don’t think you want a barroom brawl on your record. Okay? Think about that next time.


Let’s see. You first came to town a long-lost, forgotten quartermaine. And when that didn’t pan out… you latched on to maxie. And when that didn’t pan out, you latched on to me. All of your kindness. You were so solicitous, so supportive after I was stabbed by the hook. Was any of it sincere? Or were you just following orders? Have I ever been anything to you? Have I ever been anything to you… other than just your patsy? Sure I can’t help you with that? No, thank you. Did you enjoy your dinner? Oh, pizza is one of my favorites. Daddy likes it, too. Sometimes we even have it twice a week.

[ Gasps ] I’ll get the desserts.

[ Laughs ] Busted. Now you know all my parental failings. Not only do I allow open access to my phone, I resort to biweekly pizza. Well, I’ll tell you a secret. My freezer is well stocked with tater tots and chicken tenders, ’cause sometimes that’s all you can do. Mm-hmm. And jake wouldn’t eat anything green for years.

[ Chuckles ] Violet: We have a selection. They’re not as good as aiden’s, but they’re still yummy. You have to pick one first. Okay. Dex has no idea the kind of havoc that esme has caused in our lives. He has no right jumping in, trying to tell me what to do. And neither does joss, for that matter. First of all, joss is my best friend. And don’t forget, she has stakes in this, too. She had to agree to drop the charges against esme, and she did it because of your baby brother. So, if you’re upset that I told joss and that’s why you lashed out at dex — no, I just don’t want joss — I don’t want her help, and I don’t want her neanderthal boyfriend’s help, either, trina. Oh. Oh. That’s very interesting choice of words, because the only neanderthal that threw the first punch was you, after you lied by omission about holding on to the fake evidence. I explained! It’s like everything in greenland never happened! It’s like you come back and — and you turn into this selfish, entitled jerk that you’ve always been. I can’t — aaah. I can’t stand when you do this! Maybe this is just you. Maybe this is just who you are. Trina, I’m sorry. No. I can’t hear another meaningless apology.

[ Chuckling ] Oh. That did not go well. No. Poor spencer.Poor trina. I love you, carly. And I wish we didn’t have to spend our last night rehashing all the things that we can’t change. I wish I could just sweep you up, take you someplace exotic and romantic and we could go dancing all night and maybe walk on the shore at dawn so I could tell you everything that’s in my heart. That I want us to be together. I want — I want us to move in together. I want to wake up every morning with you, go to bed every night with you, together. And instead… …we’re here. And that’s okay. The world, the sec — they got in the way. It doesn’t change how I feel. It doesn’t change what — what I want. We can still have that life together. It’s just gonna get delayed a little bit.

[ Exhales sharply ] I love you, too. So much. And I’ll wait as long as it takes for us to have our life together. But we have tonight. And tonight is ours.


how are you adjusting to your role as head nurse? Still finding my way. Hmm. Some of my teammates are still “adjusting” to my new title. Sometimes I feel like I got this, and other times I don’t know how epiphany managed for so long. No, you — you got it. You absolutely got it. I mean, your styles are different, but you both mix strength with compassion. I mean, epiphany was kind of this force of nature, and you’re a little more soft-spoken, but with a-a core of pure steel. Oh. Steel. Well, I hope that’s a compliment. It absolutely is. I think you are… …remarkable. And on top of all that, a really good sport for going along with all of this. Oh, it’s my pleasure. I haven’t had pizza in weeks, so violet planned a perfect dinner. Okay. Oh. She’s exhausted. She really went all out. Yes, she did. You want help putting her to bed? Yeah, I’d like that. Thanks. Yeah. Hey, sweetheart. Are you ready for bed, honey?

[ The paper kites’ “by my side” plays ] I’ve got a love, I’ve got a love for you I’ve got a place in this old heart for you and I want to tell you that I want you any way I can I want to take you in my arms, I do I’ll light a flame and let it burn for you and if I ran, then I would run to you every time by my side your place by my side it’s where I want to be by my side forevermore I love you. I love you. I want to talk, I want to talk with you I want to tell you anything, I do and when I go and when I leave, it’s you on my mind I want to vanish in the night with you I want to take you round the town, I do I’m gonna make some kind of life for you any way I can by my side it’s where I want to be by my side the only place by my side forevermore

“the lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him and I am helped.” Oh, hey, I guess, uh, trina and spencer’s table is free. No, bad juju. I will pass on that. Mm. I know he can be a bit of a brat sometimes, huh? Sometimes? When he was a kid, he was cute, but now I — he — it — come on. That is appalling.

[ Snorts ] What? I feel kind of bad for him. Huh? Well, there’s nothing worse than doing something stupid and pissing off the woman that you love. And then he tries to flex and gets his ass handed to him instead. And then his pride’s hurting, and then his body physically is hurting. And, you know, he can’t be comforted by his woman because he’s so deeply embarrassed. And then she gets even more mad, and then he blows up at her. I mean, you can’t do that anyway, but now he’s just got to go grovel to her and try and win her back. Mm, that’s very insightful, falconeri. Has that ever happened to you? Well, um, I’ll plead the fifth. Uh-huh. Okay. Well, maybe from trina’s perspective, you know that your guy is hurt, but you don’t know how badly, and he’s completely embarrassed himself. And that temper, you got to wonder if that’s something that you’re gonna have to live with as long as you’re together. But right now, your guy, he’s on the ground. He’s in pain and vulnerable, and you’re torn between wanting to yell at your guy for doing that and yell at the other guy for hitting your guy. So what are you gonna do? Are you gonna… what? Walk out? What? No. You’re just gonna walk out? Is that what you — stop. I think — you know what I would do? I would have — I would have taken a chair and broken it over the other guy’s back. A chair. But I know I don’t ever have to worry about being in that position with you, because I believe you have more sense than to ever start a bar fight. I tell you…what. What? I can think of a lot of other cool stuff to do in this place here than start a bar fight. I’m sorry. What?! Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong. You came with us to help. You told spencer that if he uses that fake evidence, he’s the one that’s gonna get arrested. And you were right. And how does he repay you? He sucker-punches you? Again? God, it’s like the only time he could land one against you. You’re really mad. Yeah. I’m mad. Why aren’t you mad? Why are you smiling and laughing? I’m — I’m smiling because you’re beautiful. And I’m laughing because… you make me happy. Your lip is bruised.

[ Grunts ]

[ Knock on door ] What happened to… …you?


You want help with the dishes? Not necessary. Aren’t too many since dinner came from a pizza box. And a cupcake box. Yeah. I promise I will have a conversation with violet about playing matchmaker. I love her, but we can’t be together… just because she wants us to. Yeah, of course. I mean…there has to be more between us than that. I should get going.

[ Chuckles ] Yeah, no, I’ll, uh — I’ll walk you to the door. Yeah. Okay. Um, I had a really, really lovely time. Yeah. Oh, wait, wait. Uh… don’t — don’t forget these. But they look so pretty on your table. Violet got them for you, and… pink is your favorite color. So that’s what you think? You think I’m just a sucker, right? Instead of going to the police like a normal person, you do that thing that you do, and then, what, I just… help you cover up the fact that you killed your husband? Stop saying that. I didn’t mean for him to die. Well, I only have your word on that. Well, I only have your word that I can trust you, that you’re on my side. If I weren’t on your side, I would just let them kill you. Why don’t you? Because I don’t want you to die. Why? Why?

[ Laughs ] You are one hell of a dancer. Well, that’s easy when I have one hell of a partner. One who, by the way, would never walk out on you. Trina? Oh, my goodness. What a wonderful surprise. Oh, it’s awfully late, though, right? Yeah. I, um, was passing by and decided to stop by to see how you were doing with…things. That’s very kind of you.

[ Sighs ] Curtis and I are in limbo at the moment. But when that changes, you’ll be the first to know, okay? Yeah. It’s really hard when you have a strong connection with somebody, and things happen to make you question it. I appreciate the understanding. And the visit.

[ Chuckles ] I thought you might be out with spencer or something tonight. Yeah, uh, I wasn’t feeling it, so I said my good nights and decided to swing by here. Lucky me. Did you fall, or did someone punch you? Does it matter? Y-you blew up and ran up to your room so fast, I got worried. I mean, you forget that I was attacked in this place, and ace was kidnapped. I mean, slams and bumps make me — there’s nothing to worry about. As you can see, I’m fine. Thanks. If you say so. Does it hurt? A little. What about here? No pain at all. Well, I should probably test it and find out. Mnh-mnh, mnh-mnh. You’re injured. Stay down and let me take care of you. Some nights and days drag on forever. But nights like this are over too soon. Morning’s gonna come, and you’re gonna be headed to pentonville. We still have a few hours left. We don’t have to… we don’t have to start saying goodbye just yet. You have to promise me that you’re gonna be careful. I know you have the skills to protect yourself, and you’re gonna have to prove that at first. But after that, I want you to keep a low profile, and I want you to stay out of trouble. I want you to be a model prisoner, and you do your time, and you come home to me. Promise me. I’m gonna come home to you, carly. I promise. Cyrus: A new prisoner starts tomorrow. I know him. He’s a friend. His name is drew cain.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Liam: Yeah. You were kissing thomas. And I know because… I was there. At the coliseum.

Hope: Liam, please, let me explain.

Liam: And you made me see it!

Finn: Liam flies all the way to rome to surprise hope.

Steffy: He went to support her, to be a devoted husband,

Finn: And he finds her with your brother.

Steffy: Not just with her.

Finn: Pulling thomas in for a kiss. That’s rough. I mean, I totally would have freaked out.

Steffy: Yeah, liam is completely devastated. I haven’t seen him this brokenhearted and disillusioned in a long time.

Rj: So I hear congratulations are in order.

Ridge: Why is that? ‘Cause your parents are finally back together?

Rj: [Chuckles] Yeah. I’m very happy for you guys.

Ridge: Well, you know what that means, right? Gonna have to help me get all my stuff out of granddad’s house so I can move in with you and mom.

Ridge: I don’t want to spend another day without you. Will you be… my logan forever?

Brooke: [Laughs] Yes! Oh, my god, yes. Yes, of course.

Taylor: Welcome home.

Brooke: [Chuckles, sighs]

Taylor: So, I heard that rome was… everything you hoped it would be.

Rj: So you’re not gonna, like, make me mow the lawn for my allowance or anything, are you?

Ridge: Big influencer like you, you probably have more money than I do.

Rj: Yeah, not quite.

Thomas: Hey, guys.

Ridge: Hey, son.

Rj: Uh, dad was just, uh… he was filling me in on everything.

Thomas: Yeah. Well, don’t worry, I’m not gonna give you a hard time about going back to brooke. Though I can’t help but feel bad for mom.

Taylor: Well, I talked to ridge earlier. I know that the two of you… are back together now.

Brooke: What do you want me to say? I’m sorry?

Taylor: I know you’re not sorry about the way any of this went down, from undermining thomas and my family, and especially from not being honest with me about what was going down with ridge.

Finn: So you ran into liam again right after he saw hope and thomas together?

Steffy: Yeah, I was out sightseeing and… there he was.

Finn: I can only imagine what liam is feeling. Finding his wife kissing another man.

Liam: Did you forget all the things thomas has done to us?

Hope: No.

Liam: Steffy warned me. She warned me about you, about your feelings for him, and I didn’t believe it. I said, no, nope, nope, nope. No way, there’s no way that hope would betray me, betray our marriage, knowing how I feel, knowing how much it would hurt me. She would never do that. Not hope. That’s exactly what you did. Isn’t it? How? How? Could you do that? People call it the biggest smalltown festival in minnesota.

Ridge: Even though I’m with brooke, I’m never gonna stop caring about taylor.

Thomas: I do have a feeling that there is no love lost between mom and brooke, though.

Ridge: No.

Rj: Unless their friendship can somehow come back from this?

Ridge: Oh, I don’t think so. I think their rivalry is alive and well.

Taylor: I trusted you. I did. I believed that our friendship was real.

Brooke: It was. To me, anyway.

Taylor: How? How could it have been real to you? You continued to use thomas’s past against him.

Brooke: God, what are you talking about? God! I’ve been very supportive of thomas, very forgiving.

Taylor: Okay, maybe for a minute. But as soon as you realized your daughter had feelings for him, you went right back to manipulating.

Brooke: Give me a break, taylor.

Taylor: That’s all this has been for you, brooke. It’s all you do, is manipulate. And this whole time it’s just been about… getting back with ridge.

Brooke: Wow. I could say the same about you.

Taylor: No, you can’t, brooke. You lied to me, over and over. I kept asking you, did anything happen with ridge?

Brooke: Nothing happened with ridge. I didn’t lie to you. This all happened because of something you did, taylor. You broke our pact. And that is the reason we are where we are. You have nobody to blame but yourself.

Steffy: Hope and liam have to work things out. They have to.

Finn: Well, imagine if they don’t, the repercussions.

Steffy: Don’t even go there.

Finn: Well, this has to be the worst-case scenario for liam. I mean, it’s hope and thomas.

Steffy: Yeah, but luckily, nothing else happened. It was just a kiss.

Finn: Which is bad enough.

Steffy: Right. Well, maybe we shouldn’t read too much into it.

Finn: I guess we’re just gonna to have to wait and see how this all plays out.

Steffy: Yeah, I’m just praying that liam realizes this was a fleeting moment and hope just got caught up in the fairy tale.

Finn: Well, let’s hope that their marriage can survive what happened in rome.

Hope: Liam. Please, I…

Liam: Please… please what? You gotta finish the sentence. “Please forgive me”? “Liam, please let me explain”? You haven’t said it. “Liam, please let me explain”? I don’t know how to do that. How do I let you explain this? There’s no explanation for this.

Hope: No, you’re right.

Liam: After everything that he’s done to us, after all the times that he’s targeted you. And I had to watch. I had to watch you kiss him. I had to watch you take his– …you take his face in your hands. I had to watch you lean in. You chose that moment. You made it happen. You initiated, not thomas. You. You wanted it, and I gotta live with it. I don’t get to purge that from my head. I don’t– sorry, I’m feeling a little sick. Just give me a moment. We’ve seen what you would do for a klondike,

Taylor: You’re saying… that I’m to blame?

Brooke: This is your own fault.

Taylor: How?

Brooke: You disregarded our pact. You were working behind the scenes to try to push me me towards hollis or deacon.

Taylor: Oh, my god, would– would you stop? You know that isn’t true. Hollis was just for fun. And deacon–

Brooke: And you went to ridge and you told him not to have anything to do with me. Meanwhile, you were throwing yourself at him.

Taylor: Yes, that was– that was after I started putting all the pieces together, brooke. When I started to realize that you had not been honest or transparent with me about a few things. You continued to lie to me about what was building between you and ridge.

Brooke: Everything that you’re doing and saying right now, this is just a justification for doing what you did– pushing me to these other men, anybody besides ridge.

Taylor: It’s not true. I didn’t have some calculated scheme to just set you up with men.

Brooke: Keep saying that. I don’t believe it.

Taylor: I don’t care what you believe. Because this whole time you’ve just been playing your old dusty destiny card to get exactly what you want, and that’s ridge.

Rj: Thomas, can we talk about how you absolutely crushed it? Dude, hope for the future has been trending all week, and that’s all you and hope, man.

Thomas: I really appreciate that, and I appreciate your support, you posting about the event, that’s awesome.

Rj: No problem, man. Whatever I can do to help.

Ridge: You know, he’s right. Every look was a masterpiece.

Thomas: Yeah, it was pretty awesome, the whole experience.

Ridge: Yeah.

Rj: Well, I’m sure the whole trip to rome is something you’re never gonna forget.

Hope: Liam. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Liam: You’re sorry? You have no idea, do you? I was so excited to surprise you, to see you, take you on the stella maris for the weekend.

Hope: We can still do that.

Liam: I don’t think you understand. You knew… how I felt for months. You knew what it meant to me. You knew what it would do to me. You knew how much it would hurt me. And you blew me off and you blew me off and you blew me off over and over and over again. You told me there was nothing to worry about. I don’t know what to do, now that I know I can’t trust you anymore. I don’t know what to say. Everything I knew to be true, everything I believed in, everything I thought you stood for– honesty, integrity, family. I… I don’T… I don’t know… I don’t know who you are. But it’s not that. It’s not that. And we’re done.

Brooke: You are way off base, taylor. You were the one throwing yourself at ridge. And, oh, yeah, you invited yourself to italy when you had no reason to be there.

Taylor: No reason. This was a huge moment for thomas and I wanted to be there for my kids.

Brooke: Okay. What about all those dinners that we shared together? The movie nights, sharing popcorn in our pjs? What about all that, taylor? I mean, I thought that that was real. What happened? It just flipped. Are we now enemies?

Taylor: I don’t want to be enemies with you.

Brooke: I don’t want to be enemies either. But here we are. I guess I was just your bestie, your little bestie that you were so involved in her love life only really to get to ridge.

Taylor: Stop. I’m tired, brooke. I am really tired of this. I am tired of the back and forth for years and years of us fighting over ridge. It’s the same song, 20th verse, and I am done. Aren’t you tired of singing this?

Brooke: God, yes. I don’t want to do this, taylor.

Taylor: Okay. So here we are. You are back with ridge. Just be happy. Because I have… I have a good life. I have a happy life. I have my kids and my grandkids, and I am going… I am just going to continue… to be happy.

Finn: Yeah, um, I’ll be there shortly. Just, um… run another chem lab. I want to see if the patient’s levels have improved. Okay, yeah, we… will probably end up there.

Hope: Please don’t give up on me. Don’t give up on our marriage. It was a kiss. It was one kiss.

Liam: That I know of. And… it was with thomas. How… could that happen?

Hope: [Sobs] I don’t know. I don’t know because I don’t know. I just felt so much pressure, and I got to rome, and I felt like I could finally breathe.

Liam: Or maybe, maybe… maybe steffy’s just been right all along… and you have feelings for her brother.

Hope: [Laughs] You’re right. Thomas and I… that kiss… it’s not logical. It doesn’t make sense. I shouldn’t have feelings for him. I don’t want to have feelings for him. You ask me who I am, and I don’t even know the answer to that, liam, but what I do know is that.. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. It’s always been you. It’s been you. Please look at me.

Liam: How can that be true?

Hope: Because I’m your wife. Standing here in our in our– in our home, surrounded by our children’s toys and our memories and I’m asking you to please don’t lose sight of the big picture, even if I lost sight of it just for a moment because we could still have such a beautiful future together as a family. We could still have so much laughter and love. We don’t need to let one single kiss derail that, liam, please. Please. I know I hurt you. I know. But you have also hurt me. And I’ve forgiven you, and I’ve risen above it, and so all I’m asking is for that same chance to try to hold us together as a family. Please? Please, liam, can you forgive me?

Victor: Whatever you’re reading must be very engrossing.

Victoria: [ Sighing ] Daddy, you scared me. What are you doing here so late? Is everything okay?

Victor: That depends, my dear. We have some unfinished business. And this time, you will not walk out on me.

Audra: If I knew I was going to have a few cocktails, I would have had a burger for dinner instead of a salad.

Kyle: Unfortunately, the best cheeseburger spot in town is already closed.

Audra: Oh, then it can’t be the best because that would be the one you can get when you’re starving at midnight.

Kyle: Okay, fair enough, but if you want the best culinary experience, you will try my recommendation during normal business hours.

Audra: Well, are you gonna tell me where it is, or do I just have to eat my way through all of the burger joints in genoa city?

Kyle: How about one more round? And then I’ll reveal the location.

[ Audra sighing ]

Audra: Are you bribing me?

Kyle: Just enjoying your company.

Audra: I don’t know. Could it really be that good?

Kyle: Hmm. Come here.

Audra: Oh, yeah?

Kyle: Mm-hmm. It’s better then you can imagine.

Audra: Oh. Okay. But on one condition.

[ Kyle inhaling ]

Kyle: I don’t know if I should risk bargaining with, uh, an admitted ambitious, “ultra-achiever” like yourself. Seems like I won’t have the upper hand.

Audra: I’m not that threatening.

Kyle: Okay. Okay. What are your terms?

Audra: I buy the next round and you indulge my choice of conversation.

Kyle: What’s your topic?

Audra: It’s time to get a little more personal.

Ashley: “Jabot announces diane jenkins as it’s new chief talent officer.” Oh, my god. You did it, jackie. You really did it.

Diane: I am ready for a date with my handsome fiancé.

Jack: Wow, you look absolutely gorgeous, but then you’re stunning when you wake up.

[ Diane laughing ]

Diane: Your ability to say that with a straight face is one of the many things I love about you.

Jack: No, I can say that because it’s true.

Diane: Your charm is another one of those things.

Jack: I cannot wait to toast your new position.

Diane: I can’t believe it’s really happening.

Jack: Oh, believe it. I just saw it online.

Diane: Really? I’m surprised we haven’t heard ashley scream.

Jack: Well, ashley’s out. With any luck, we will not see her today.

[ Doorbell ringing ] Billy. Uh, is something wrong?

Billy: Yeah, there’s something wrong, jack. What the hell is going on with this press release about diane’s new job and why is it the first time I’m hearing about it online? Did you approve this? Did you consult with anyone before giving her this promotion?

Trelegy for copd.

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

[ Victoria sighing ]

Victoria: All right, well, if the topic is nick’s leave of absence, then, um, I’m having a drink and I assume that you’ll join me.

Victor: Your mother and i were concerned about your reaction during our earlier conversation.

Victoria: You mean because I walked out on you?

Victor: Yes. We seem to have struck a nerve.

Victoria: [ Sighing ] Daddy, I was in the middle of handling other business issues when you and mom started questioning my decisions.

Victor: Your unilateral decision to replace your brother and put nate in this position. It’s not just business.Other d i have questions about that.

Victoria: Do you know how frustrating it is? Having my executive moves scrutinized when I have so much else on my plate.

Victor: And yet you said that if I didn’t like your decision, I could let you go.

Victoria: Daddy, I just said that in the heat of the moment. I don’t sincerely want you to fire me from the company.

Victor: So then I assume you have cooled off. So, let’s talk.

Victoria: Have you or mom considered that maybe this has hit me emotionally as well? Thinking about my sweet little niece being kidnapped and having explosives s– strapped to her body. I mean, I can only imagine how traumatizing this must have been for nicholas. That’s why I am insisting that he take some time off to recover from this.

Victor: But sweetheart, your brother can make that decision on his own. You don’t have to make it for him.

Victoria: Look, I’m sorry if this decision that I’ve made has upset you. I didn’t mean for that to happen, but dad, he’s been through hell. And as much as I don’t want to even talk about it, you have to remember what happened with ashland.

Victor: It’s on the forefront of my mind.

Victoria: Well, then you will remember that nick’s emotional reaction to killing him crept up on him slowly. He made it seem like it didn’t affect him at all, but it did. It affected him a lot. And I’m just trying to give him a little time to deal with the fallout from all of that without having to feel like he has to hide what he’s going through to protect his job. Look. [ Sighing ] Nick will come back when he is ready and strong and centered.

Victor: How did he react to your decision?

Victoria: I haven’t heard from him since I’ve told him, but I assume and hope that he’s made the decision to use the time well.

[ Victor sighing ]

Victor: All right. Now, let’s talk about nate hastings.

Jack: I had the announcement drafted and sent out by our pr team myself.

Billy: Well, that’s one less cause of alarm that I could check off the list because for a second there, I thought maybe somebody hacked into our system for the sole purpose of causing corporate upheaval.

Jack: It’s a little bit dramatic, don’t you think?

Billy: Not as dramatic as the other possibility. That you just detonated a bomb that is going to cause a family war.

Diane: Billy, I can assure you, you don’t need to feel threatened by that.

Billy: Is that right, diane? Look, there are lines being crossed right now. I hope you realize that we just had a family meeting about it. This is the exact thing traci just warned us against.

Jack: I am ceo of jabot. This is my decision to make.

Billy: Right, and I really wish that you would have talked to your co-ceo before making this decision, jack. But what I’m really worried about is that you don’t seem to have any ethical obligation to warning your family before you hire your fiancé into a c-suite position.

Jack: Diane, why don’t you head to the club and get us a table? And I don’t need you to be subjected to billy’s overreaction or anything else he might regret saying. It won’t take long.

Diane: No problem.

Billy: I suggest you grab an appetizer, diane. This might take longer than jack thinks.

[ Diane scoffing ]

[ Door shutting ] Go ahead, jack. Explain yourself and I really hope this is good.

Kyle: Thank you. I was enjoying our non-personal conversation. Why ruin a good thing?

Audra: Don’t worry. I’m not gonna grill you about whatever turmoil you’re in right now.

Kyle: Is it that obvious?

Audra: Well, I mean, I just– you know, I assume that when someone so invested in keeping the conversation light, it’s because they’re avoiding some darker feelings. That, and our growing bar tab.

Kyle: Hmm. Perceptive. So why not indulge me in a little more light chit chat?

Audra: Hmm. Look, I want to be a friendly ear, but I can only talk about cheeseburgers for so long.

[ Kyle laughing ] Besides, you got me to open up about my life in genoa city when we first had drinks, so I think it’s only fair that I’m allowed to hear a little bit more about the man underneath that very freshly pressed suit.

Kyle: Whoo, whoo, whoo. Are you calling me uptight?

Audra: No, I just, you know, noted that you’re a man who continues to present a well-kept facade to the world while claiming his personal life is falling apart. You’re the one who used the word uptight.

Kyle: Well, I am the ceo of marchetti. Appearances matter.

Audra: And you get an a+ in that category. You know, I wonder what your grade will be in “fun-loving.”

Kyle: Well, with time and responsibility comes structure and discipline.

Audra: Uh, that’s a solid c-.

[ Both laughing ]

Kyle: If you knew my past, you’d give me a higher score.

Audra: Are you asking me to grade you on a curve?

Kyle: I’m just saying I partied with the best of them.

Audra: Oh, I don’t know. I’m going to need some details. Are we talking broke into the family liquor cabinet for a few sips of scotch and stayed out a few minutes past curfew? Because if that’s all you’ve got, no.

Kyle: Ooh, hey, now. I can do better than that.

Audra: Okay.

Kyle: Try raided the liquor cabinet of the richest guy in new york city.

Audra: Uh-huh.

Kyle: And had an affair with his wife.”

Audra: Kyle abbott. I’m shocked. Hm. There might be hope for you after all.

Kyle: There you go. Moderate to severe eczema

[ Victoria sighing ]

Victoria: There is nothing to discuss about nate.

Victor: I disagree. You never answered the question your mother and I had. About whether nate’s influenced your decision to have nicholas take a leave for absence.

Victoria: He absolutely did not. It was my call to insist that nick take a step away and my decision to have nate step in. As a matter of fact, he challenged me on it.

Victor: [ Scoffing ] Really?

Victoria: Why would you have an issue with nate picking up the slack? I don’t see why you would oppose it. You have always showed an interest in his new career and you’ve praised his work at newman media.

Victor: We’re talking about two different issues. Your brother doesn’t trust him.

Victoria: That’s because he’s wary of what happened at chancellor-winters and with elena. And I understand his concern. I do. But I’m the one who’s working with nate.

Victor: Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes. I’ve been around for too long. You don’t just work with nate. You have a personal relationship with him. How the hell can that not influence your judgment in business?

Victoria: Daddy, nate is an asset to this company and I trust him completely. Can’t you trust me?

[ Victor sighing ]

Jack: I understand you feel left out of this decision to promote diane to the new position.

Billy: No, jack, let me be clear, this is not about me being left out of the loop. I don’t think you realize how certain people are going to see this. It’s not going to be good.

Jack: By certain people, I assume you mean ashley.

Billy: Yes, ashley, abby, anyone else on the board. Anyone else that works for jabot, jack. I mean, you handed your fiancé an executive position without going through the proper protocol.

Jack: I am aware of that. I made a judgment call and I stand by it. I didn’t want to hear endless counter arguments from ashley and you and everyone else. I’ve heard enough badmouthing of diane to last me a lifetime.

Billy: So your solution to that is to circumvent us? To go behind our back.

Jack: You’re making it sound a lot more devious than it was.

Billy: No, jack, you don’t understand how incendiary this move is. You basically backed us into a corner. You realize that? We either go along with diane’s promotion or we don’t and we cause public outcry, which in turn weakens the company. We go along with your whim or we damage the boat.

Jack: Hold on. This is not a whim. I am ceo of jabot. This is well within my power as it was to bring you on board as my co-ceo, by the way. I don’t remember posting that job or interviewing other candidates. Why is that okay for you and not for diane?

Billy: Because I’m an abbott, jack.

Jack: And she’s about to be one. Everybody ought to get used to that. Diane and I are getting married. Diane is being promoted. End of story.

Billy: No, it’s not the end of story. What you just did guarantees that it does not end here.

Jack: It does if I say it does.

Billy: You know, this is exactly what ashley said was going to happen and I thought she was overreacting. I said, “there’s no way that jack is going to do something so brash with diane.” Jack, you have launched a missile directly at ashley and you were about to cause all-out war for jabot.

Ashley: Oh, yeah, everything’s in place. I’m definitely pulling the trigger. Just a few details I want to discuss with you. Okay, I’ll text you later. Bye.

Diane: Hello, ashley.

Ashley: Well, hi. Aren’t you out past your bedtime?

[ Diane scoffing ]

Diane: I’m meeting jack here for dinner.

Ashley: Special occasion? I mean, you just kind of look like you put in a little bit more effort. Oh, wait, I know. I read that announcement. You are jabot’s new chief talent officer.

Diane: So you heard the news.

Ashley: Oh, yeah. Read it online, where I just love to get all the family company updates. You must be thrilled. Everything’s coming together for you, huh, diane?

Audra: An affair with a married woman.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Audra: I’m assuming since you’re telling me, the husband found out.

Kyle: You know, it’s common knowledge now since it resulted in my son, harrison, but something tells me you already knew that.

Audra: Um, look, I admit I did a little internet deep dive on you since our last drink.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Audra: But I didn’t know a whole lot about you other than the fact that you’re married to my ex’s sister. Um, whoops, I veered into the too personal, didn’t I?

[ Laughing ] Look, okay, I’ll make it up to you by topping your, uh, liquor cabinet sex story with… sex in a helicopter.

Kyle: Whoa, whoa. I did not see that coming. That’s impressive.

Audra: Mm-hmm.

Kyle: But engaging with the pilot seems a little dangerous.

Audra: Well, kyle, I’m not afraid of a little danger.

Kyle: Mm-hmm. But you lived to tell the tale, so I’m guessing it was with a passenger.

Audra: Hm. Handsome and smart.

[ Both chuckling ] You know, when we first had drinks, you pegged me as an overachiever.

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Audra: But my achievements are not confined to the boardroom. I got a few moves.

Kyle: I bet you do. How about you show me some? Come on.

Audra: All right.

Kyle: I clearly need a little extra credit in the “fun-loving” category.

Audra: Yeah. Anything to help.

[ Both chuckling ] Oh. My late father-in-law lit up a room,

Victoria: When you made me ceo of newman enterprises, you put your trust in me to run the family company. I know that trust was challenged after what happened with ashland, but I had felt that we’d gotten past that. I hope you still trust me, dad. Even if you don’t agree with every decision that I make.

Nate: Is it late enough for a sample of that new bourbon I brought you? Oh, victor. Sorry if I’m interrupting. I didn’t realize you were here.

Victor: That’s all right, nate.

Nate: Victoria and i have been working late on a new project for the real estate division.

Victoria: And nate must have something pressing to talk with me about. Daddy, I’m sure you want to head back to the ranch, don’t you?

Victor: I’m not going anywhere, sweetheart. So, why don’t you give nate and me a moment alone, all right?

Victoria: Um, I do need to check in with the technology team, but I’ll be right back.

Victor: Nate, would you kindly close the door? And now, why don’t you pour yourself a glass of that bourbon?

Nate: Before I do, victor, I want to assure you that I am up for this challenge. Victoria’s asked me to step in for nick while he’s out and I am happy to do so. I intend to impress not just victoria, but you, nikki, and nick, too.

Jack: There will be no war at jabot.

Billy: That is wishful thinking, jack. Ashley is hell-bent on turning the rest of jabot against diane. She’s not gonna stop trying to recruit board members. And what you just did was give her ammunition to prove that diane is infiltrating jabot at a very high level.

Jack: You let me handle ashley.

Billy: Jack, you cannot defend this move. I mean, she’s not qualified.

Jack: I am not going to defend diane’s curriculum vitae to anyone.

Billy: You’re gonna have to come up with a motive, okay? You’re gonna have to figure this out because tucker is coming. He’s got something going on with ashley, there’s no doubt about that. And he has got a lot more experience than diane does.

Jack: I’m not going to worry about tucker right now. He’s on the outside, we’re on the inside.

Billy: Until they get married and they do the exact same thing you just did!

Jack: This is a hypothetical, billy. How about now? Right now, as my co-ceo, do you have my back?

Billy: So, now you want my–

Jack: And diane’s?

Billy: It is very important for you to know that I do not approve of these methods.

Jack: Message received.

Billy: Because you are my brother and because I am co-ceo of this company, yeah. I have your back.

Jack: Thank you. And diane?

Billy: I will say yes until she gives me a reason to say no.

Diane: As a matter of fact, my life feels very much untracked these days. No complaints, although, I’m sure that you will point out a few things that I should be concerned about.

Ashley: No. None that I can tell. Boy, this must be a dream job for you. Working side by side with jack, planning a wedding. You are going to be one busy girl.

Diane: Funny, I would have thought you’d be more upset by the announcement.

Ashley: Oh, well, let’s be real. I’m not thrilled. But don’t worry, I’m not going to throw an embarrassing tantrum. Actually, my life is taking me in a different direction.

Diane: Oh, really? Really? What direction is that? East perhaps? Maybe paris with tucker?

Ashley: [ Laughing ] No. No, that’s funny. Nope. Nope. Nope. No travel plans.

Diane: Then what?

Ashley: You know, it’s a surprise, you know? You’ll find out soon enough.

Diane: Oh, so this is some new ploy of yours.

Ashley: You’re so paranoid. I think all I’ve done is congratulate you.

Diane: Yes, and that’s why I’m so suspicious.

Ashley: Well, I have to admit, I do get a kick out of being able to get under your skin. Is that bad?

Kyle: It’s getting late. I need to head home.

Audra: Uh… right, um, me– me too. I have a big day tomorrow.

[ Clearing throat ] Big things are happening at work.

Kyle: Ah, yeah. I didn’t even ask you about how things are in newman.

Audra: Oh, it’s all good. Uh, this was a nice distraction. Mm-hmm.

Kyle: For me too. You took my mind off of… things.

Audra: Things. Yeah. Well, I’m happy to help. I– I’ll walk you out, yeah? Oh, you’re not– you’re not driving, are you?

Kyle: No, no. I’ll– I’ll get a cab.

Audra: Oh, good. Lucky me, I don’t have to drive or wait for a taxi. Living upstairs has its perks. My a1c was up here; now, it’s down with rybelsus.

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Nate: I take it from your silence, you have similar feelings to nick about victoria asking me to step in. That I’m after his job. I am fully aware that helping out at newman is a temporary thing. As soon as nick is ready to return, I will gladly be back at newman media.

Victor: Well… if you’re truly acting in the interest of our company, then I have even more respect for you.

Nate: I am. I promise. There is no power grab going on. What I tried to do at chancellor-winters, I fully regret. I have no intentions of making a mistake like that ever again.

Victor: If you do, you know I’ll find out. And then… I’ll be your enemy. I don’t wish that on anyone. Are we clear?

Jack: Sorry, I’m late. Uh, everything all right?

Diane: Oh, everything’s just fine. Oh, look, I think our table’s ready.

Ashley: I’ll leave you to it.

Diane: Yeah.

Jack: Given billy’s reaction, I thought maybe, I was walking into a battle.

Diane: No, I was braced for the same, but thank you. Ashley was surprisingly civil.

Jack: No bitter tirade? Well, maybe, we got lucky and she hasn’t read the press release yet.

Diane: Well, that’s what’s so surprising. She has read it, but she had no vitriolic response whatsoever, just her usual tired sarcasm.

Jack: Why does that make me more nervous?

Diane: Yeah, she did kind of hint that she had some new plan going on.

Jack: Any idea what?

Diane: No, she was kind of cagey about it. You know, maybe, she’s just bluffing, trying to save face.

Jack: Well, I don’t think so. According to billy, she’s still making her backdoor efforts to bring the board onto her side.

Diane: What if the board isn’t behind my new position?

Jack: That will not be an issue if she does not have a majority yet. There will be no coup.

Diane: That’s good. So, how did things go with billy? I hope the conversation didn’t get ugly. Or should I say uglier.

Jack: I’m sorry you had to hear any of that. Yeah, it got a– a little tense. Billy warned me that I am just fueling ashley’s anger and her conspiracy theory she’s trying to spread about us. But he did not threaten to go to her side. No, he’s still behind us for now.

Diane: Then, we need to do whatever we can to keep it that way.

Kyle: Thanks again for distracting me tonight.

Audra: Oh, uh, it wasn’t a chore, um I enjoyed, you know, hearing about your bad boy adventures in new york.

Kyle: I’m sure you have more stories to tell.

Audra: Oh, yeah, I do.

[ Audra laughing ] You know, I think we both had a wild streak when we were younger.

Kyle: Wow, I haven’t always been this well-pressed.

Audra: Oh, yeah?

Kyle: Mm-hmm.

Audra: I wonder if there’s any of that bad boy left in you.

Kyle: Oh, I’m sure he’s in here somewhere. I’ve had him bottled up for a while.

Audra: Yeah, I’m sure he’s buried in there pretty deep.

Kyle: What makes you say that?

Audra: Well, the fact that your tie is still perfectly knotted, you know, after a night of cocktails and dancing.

[ Kyle grunting ]

Kyle: One loosened tie and one unbuttoned… top button.

Audra: It’s better. Uh, you know, maybe, that– that that boy is still in there after all.

[ Audra chuckling ] Even when I was with the people I love,

Nate: You’re warning is crystal clear. And I know you don’t make idle threats. I promise my intentions are pure, and not just because I care about protecting my job here. I care about victoria outside of our work relationship. I’m sure you have some concerns there as well.

Victor: You bet.

Nate: But like I told victoria, I want her to be able to lean on me personally as well as professionally, and I wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize that.

Victor: That’s good to hear.

Nate: I have nothing but admiration and respect for you and victoria and nick. I’m sad nick doesn’t feel he can trust me.

Victor: You used to be friends.

Nate: Yeah, he said, uh, the only way to win back their trust was to refuse the interim coo position.

Victor: Mm-hmm. And yet, you jumped at the position.

Nate: I didn’t decide this lightly. I– I carefully considered nick’s request… but in the end, I didn’t think it was fair to victoria.

Victor: I see.

Nate: She believes in me, victor. She thinks I can be useful during this time, and she is ceo of newman. So, I’ll have to live with nick’s anger and distrust of me until I can find some other way to win him over. And I suspect, you would have done the same if you were in my shoes, just starting out.

Victor: You’re probably right about that.

Victoria: Well, would you listen to that? Daddy agreeing with you. I hope that means that nate has eased all of your doubts.

Ashley: What are you doing here all alone? Is that pie?

Billy: It is pie. I came by to see jack, and of course, went into the kitchen to say hi to mrs. Martinez–

Ashley: And she forced you to have pie.

Billy: Yes, she did.

Ashley: It’s good.

Billy: She told me to take a piece home, but I didn’t make it very far.

Ashley: I can see.

Billy: I was hoping to run into you.

[ Billy sighing ] So? What’s going on?

[ Ashley scoffing ]

Ashley: Yeah, don’t be coy. I saw the press release. I’m surprised, but not shocked. Did you write it?

Billy: No. Of course, I didn’T. I was just as shocked as you were

Ashley: I bet. Considering you so vehemently dismissed the concerns I had about this very real possibility.

Billy: Yeah, I was wrong.

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Billy: I’m sure it sent you into a tizzy. Glad you had a little bit of time to cool down.

Ashley: I’m tizzy-free.

Billy: Right.

Ashley: I am. I gave up on the war, billy. It’s too exhausting. I should have listened to you from the very beginning.

Billy: I don’t believe you. What do you got going on?

Jack: So, what do you want to eat?

Diane: Uh, you know what? I don’t care, you pick for me.

Jack: Since when do you not care what you order?

Diane: Since I am too distracted by ashley’s “new leaf.” I don’t buy it for a second.

Jack: I’m going to order a steak for me. And how about a caesar salad for you?

Diane: Jack. Jack, this is important. We need to protect jabot. If billy said that ashley has already talked to abby and traci, then we need to talk to the non-family members of the board. In fact, you know them better than I do, so you should be the one that talks to them without me, so I don’t exacerbate the situation. And you should set those meetings for tomorrow morning. You need to get ahead of any questions or criticisms about how you announce my new position.

Jack: I don’t need to defend myself or you to anyone.

Diane: Well, of course, you don’t, you don’T. But we need to nip any of this in the bud. You know there’s going to be gossip. And– and how will this affect kyle and summer? I don’t want them pooled into some sort of corporate family feud. That’s not going to do their marriage any favors, especially if kyle ends up defending me and then summer feels threatened by my new position.

Jack: I got an idea.

Diane: Well, good, because I am all out of ideas for how to help them. You know, the last few I’ve tried really haven’t worked. So, what is it?

Jack: So, let’s not talk about any of our troubles for the rest of the evening.

Diane: And how will that help them?

Jack: It won’t help them, but I’ll get to have a nice, quiet, romantic time with my beautiful fiancée talking about our wedding and our honeymoon and how nice it is to just sit here, and look at each other and be so in love.

Diane: Jack, you deserve that and more. You know, these last few months have been really hard on you. And you’ve done everything for me. So, yes, I think that’s a wonderful idea.

[ Jack chuckling ]

Kyle: Well, I should get that cab.

Audra: Hmm, yeah, I should, um… probably go take a shower and get into bed.

Kyle: Sounds like a great idea.

Audra: Well, good night. I had a lovely time.

Kyle: Thank you.

[ Audra sighing ]

Diane: Jack, what’s wrong? You okay? Febreze!

[ Victoria sighing ]

Victoria: So, should I pour myself another bourbon so that we can toast nate helping us out in nick’s absence?

Victor: Well, I’m going to head home. But just know… that I’m going to keep a close eye on things around here.

Victoria: I would expect nothing less.

Nate: Nor would I. Have a good night.

Victoria: Good night, daddy.

Victor: Good night.

Victoria: So what did you and my father talk about?

Nate: He made it clear he’s aware of me trying to make a power grab by stepping in for nick. But I think I got him to warm to the idea.

Victoria: Ah, I was afraid that’s what it was about. He was grilling me about my decision before you got here. But I hope that now, he finally understands that this is my choice. And it’s the right one.

Nate: You are brilliant. How could your judgment be wrong?

Victoria: If we’ve won my father over, then we’re both brilliant.

Billy: There’s something going on. You got that gleam in your eye.

Ashley: You’re right. I was thinking about getting my own piece of pie.

Billy: Unfortunately, this is the last piece.

Ashley: Darn it.

Billy: So, why don’t you go ahead and start spilling?

Ashley: I have something up my sleeve, but it’s not nefarious. It’s benign. I think it’s a positive.

Billy: And you’re not gonna tell me what it is?

Ashley: Not on your life.

[ Billy sighing ]

Billy: Which makes me even more suspicious, ashley. God, I really hope you know what you’re doing.

Diane: Jack, what is it? You look upset.

Jack: You know what? Let’s go down to the lounge, have a dance, come on.

Diane: We haven’t even ordered yet and you said you were starving.

Jack: I– I don’t want to spoil this evening.

Diane: Okay, wait a minute. Don’t– don’t do that. Don’t not tell me something, because you think it will upset me. It’s not who we are. That’s not how I want this marriage to work.

Jack: You’re right. I just saw our son walk upstairs.

Diane: Kyle? What’s he doing here?

Jack: I think he got himself a hotel room.

Diane: Oh, no, that means that he and summer had another fight, which is all my fault.

Jack: Wait, it’s not your fault. They have issues to work out. They are their issues. Diane, this is why I almost didn’t mention it.

Diane: I just don’t like that he’s running away from his problems. I just wish there was something we could do to help them work through everything.

Jack: Yeah, maybe, one more night apart will remind them how much they need each other.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

What are you thinking, my love? Are you going to give me a thrill, go for another dip in the pool? Uh, no. No, I couldn’t possibly. You know, what do they say — that 20-minute rule after you eat? Something like that. After you eat? You haven’t touched your burger.

[ Sighs ] That’s true. But I absolutely devoured your hummingbird cake. You know what? Hm? You are my hummingbird cake.

[ Sighs ] Okay. What is it, lucy? What’s wrong? Why do I get the feeling something’s weighing on you? Whoa. Is the storm over, or should I hide under the desk? Hi, brook lynn. I am sorry it’s so messy in here, but my assistant just quit so she could “find herself,” whatever that means. So now I find myself drowning in the extra work that comes with the success of our company. I don’t even know if I’m going to have time to eat lunch. Well, I had a feeling, so I brought lunch to you. Didn’t you say that you and lulu used to have lunch together all the time back in the day? Yeah, we did. That’s so sweet of you. Thank you. Hey, didn’t you ask to have today off? What are you doing here? Aunt tracy! Scout. Wow. I’m — I’m sorry. Leo’s not here. Olivia took him to the park. Or if you’re looking for our resident horse whisperer, I think he’s probably out mounting a defense for something else he’s done. At least that’s what I would bet on. Well, we’re — we’re not actually here for my mother or for cody. Oh, well, to what do we owe this visit? I asked them to bring my daughter to see me. Hey. Hi. How was the pool? It was fine. I saw dex, and i got to catch up with trina. Oh, great. Why didn’t you stay there? Well, trina had things to do, and I wanted to check on you. I’m fine. How could you be? The judge giving drew three years? Not in spring ridge, but in pentonville? When there’s a deal in place? What’s the judge’s problem? I don’t even know where to begin. Apparently, judge kim saw an opportunity to be tough on a so-called “privileged defendant.” If by “privileged,” you mean “decorated navy seal” who — who just helped save a bunch of people from victor cassadine in greenland. That doesn’t count for anything? Judge kim didn’t want the public to think that drew was going to get away with a white-collar crime because he had done some heroic things. But three years? And no one even got hurt? I-I don’t even know what to say. Yeah, you do. So you should say it. You think I made a huge mistake by not turning in sonny. I appreciate you sending your goon away, but I would have appreciated even more if you’d called him off before he tracked me down and manhandled me back here.

[ Stammers ] Nobody — nobody wants to hurt anyone. It’s just, sonny is worried about you. Yeah, well, I’m not a problem for you anymore. In fact, I’m not a problem for anyone in this town anymore. So if you’ll excuse me, I got a train to catch. You’re not going anywhere. Avery?! Avery, where are you?! Ms. Jerome, we’re here to help. What are we dealing with? Someone’s taken my daughter. Yeah, everything’s taken care of.


It’s no secret what i think.I mean, do you regret not giving the feds the evidence against sonny? No. It’s a line I can never cross. But I do see the consequences to drew, and I can understand why you would say, “I told you so.” That’s not really our style, is it? Calling each other out like that? I mean, probably because we agree on most things. Except this. Listen, I may never 100% agree with you about sonny, but I’ve had a change of heart since the last time we talked about him. I mean, what you said really opened my eyes. I think I have been a little too focused on defending you and protecting dex. I…think I did lose my way a bit. But, to be clear, I just — I cannot forgive him completely for what he did to our family. But if you and michael are willing to let go of your anger, then so can I. I mean, at least for avery and donna’s sake.

[ Whispering ] That makes me so happy, josslyn.

[ Chuckles ] I think I just struggle because sonny, I mean, he’s just guilty of so much, but he gets to walk around free, and now drew’s going to prison for three years. Scout has already been without her father, and she’s about to lose him again. Sam must be going crazy about this. Thanks for the hug. Hey, guess what? I saw a bunch of new flowers in monica’s garden. They just sprouted up. They’re so beautiful. Maybe dante would love to see those. Sure, daddy. Yeah, go show him. Yeah, let’s do it. This way. Alright. Thanks. I’m, uh, sorry I couldn’t be at your hearing yesterday. It’s probably a good thing. It wasn’t exactly a crowd-pleaser. Wait, what am I missing? You didn’t see the news? Obviously not. Some of us can’t watch the news 24/7. What happened at the hearing? Well, the judge rejected the plea deal. Instead of six months at spring ridge, I got three years in pentonville. That’s unconscionable. That is a miscarriage of justice. I agree, but it’s what the judge imposed and I plan to comply. The real question is, how are we going to break this to our daughter? I thought I would come in and help out with the social. You know, so many people are engaging with the brand online now because of the deceptor. Are sales really that crazy? Oh, brook lynn, you have no idea. What are you looking at? The shared-drive file that shows all the various products that we’re selling. You can see over the last three weeks, we’ve had to up the number of deceptor units we’ve produced, and we’re still selling out. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m sure there’s a limit. We’ve just not reached it yet. That’s really amazing. I mean, you guys have obviously hit a sweet spot. The more you sell, the more word of mouth, the higher the engagement. Good. Yeah, the difficult part is, it’s just hard to keep up. I have not had time to find a new place to live. You’re looking for a house? I’m a mother of three kids. I think I’ve made a two-bedroom apartment work for a really long time.

[ Chuckling ] Yeah. I need a bigger house with a backyard, and, honestly, it’s something I should’ve done years ago. Well, especially because you’ve been raking in the dough for quite some time now.

[ Chuckles ] So why do you think you haven’t? Um… …’cause of nathan. I see where this is going. Just for the record, sonny, I borrowed your computer last night and did some online research about you. Oh, quite the eye-opener. I’m sure it was. You didn’t mention that you had a kid with olivia. Yeah, it was a long time ago. His name’s dante. He’s a police detective. He’s grown up with a family of his own. You also didn’t mention that, uh, well, you have this professional reputation. Are you going to break my legs now if I don’t stay here in port charles and keep olivia happy? Olivia and I have a lot of history. It’s surprising how far I’d be willing to go for her. But I know olivia. She would want her husband in one piece. Now, as far as my professional reputation, some of the stories are true, some are not true. But on that note, I’m going to make you an offer you can’t refuse. Thanks. Alright, tell me what happened from the beginning. Avery was with me. You’re her nanny, correct? Yes. Pilar rodriguez. Avery loves this spot. We come here at least twice a week. I turned my back for one second, and she was gone. Okay. Williams, can you take ms. Rodriguez’s statement? We’re losing time, right? They say that the first 24 hours after a kidnapping is the most important. Isn’t that what they say? It’s possible that avery just wandered off. Look, I did it all the time when I was a kid. I drove my dad nuts. At this point, there’s — there’s no reason to believe that avery was kidnapped. Oh, you don’t understand. I have every reason in the world to believe someone kidnapped her. And why’s that?


You probably didn’t find this when you were doing your research last night, but I have connections to every industry in port charles. Music venues, radio stations, even boutique record labels near charles street. Okay. You got my attention. Now, I can’t make you be part of the quartermaine family, but because olivia and brook lynn are so important to me, as long as you stick around port charles and you let them know that you’re nearby and safe, I may introduce you to the right people. And who knows? They may even sign you to a record label. But the offer only stands if you stay in town. What do you say? Ava, do you have a reason to believe someone would want to hurt your daughter? If mason lays one finger on avery, I’ll kill him. You refuse to accept how ruthless mason is. There’s no one who’s off-limits. I mean, avery’s father is — is sonny corinthos. He has too many enemies to count, right? That makes all of his kids targets. That includes avery. You can’t just assume that she wandered off. Okay, I’m going to call this in and get a pcpd missing child alert. We’re going to find her. Promise.

[ Sighs ] Sonny. Hey, you two. Look at this. This is amazing. I had no idea you were going to be at the pool today. What a wonderful coincidence. Well, it was sort of a last-minute thing. I mean, I’ve got some paid days off coming, and, out of the blue, felicia insisted that I spend one of them enjoying the pool. We insist that you join us. Please. You know, mac, I have had my mind set on a poolside piña colada all morning long. Would you get one for me, please? Coming up. Thank you. That sounds absolutely yummy. Um, could I have a poolside piña colada, too, please? You still got half your first one.

[ Scoffs ] Look at this.

[ Laughs ] Mmm. Mmm-mmm-mmm. They just disappear so fast. Where do they go? Please? Okay. Hey, also, it would give you a chance to maybe bond with mac. Bond with mac? That’s important because…? Because mac and felicia are my best friends. And ever since I got divorced from doc, I just haven’t been as close to them. I mean, you know, you lose out on those couple outings and it would mean so much to me if the two of you hit it off. So please maybe have small talk at the bar, get us some lounges, pretty please? Your wish is my command. Mac. Two more large ones. Okay, lucy, the coast is clear. Shall we discuss why you really asked me here? I’m so rry. I didn’t mean tobring up an emotional subject. No, no, it’s fine. My apartment, it’s just — it’s where nathan and I met. On new year’s eve.

[ Breathes sharply ] He showed up to sublet it, and I was leaving town. We talked for a few minutes and then went our separate ways. Looking back, it — it was the night that changed my life. And then nathan and i fell in love. And that apartment is where we shared our life together. That’s also where nina and i planned his funeral. Never thought of it that way. I know when I move into a house, I’m going to make memories with my kids there. Great memories. But I’m not going to make any new memories with nathan. My apartment, it’s become like an adult emotional support blanket.

[ Voice breaking ] I’m afraid to let it go. Well, you don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. But sometimes change can be good, right? Yeah.

[ Chuckles ] I mean, look at us. Can you even remember a time when we couldn’t stand each other?

[ Laughs ] And now you’re bailey’s second mom, and I trust you with my life. You really shouldn’T. Tracy: Drew, I know we don’t have any use for each other, but my brother is turning over in his grave about this. Tracy, there’s nothing to do about it now. Wrong. You can change your plea and throw carly under the bus. Josslyn, I haven’t given up hope, okay? We filed an appeal. There has to be some way to set this right. Hey, carly. Hey, josslyn. Carly: Hey. Josslyn: Hi. I was just telling josslyn how we filed an appeal on drew’s behalf. And now that the hearing is over, will you be able to represent him? I cannot, because your case is still being settled. Although, I do have some good news. I will take anything right about now. As of tomorrow, your accounts will be unfrozen. Oh, thank god. Oh, thank god. Yes, thank — thank god, indeed. However, the courts have determined a financial amount that you’re going to have to pay as restitution for your part in drew’s crime. Mom, how much do you have to pay?


I know. And I tried to talk the judge down. He would not budge. He assessed you the maximum fine. $5 million? That’s — that’s my entire savings. And that’s not counting property taxes and food and insurance and bills — hey, listen, listen. I have my trust fund. No! Josslyn, drew didn’t make this sacrifice so the financial burden lies on you. What — what about — what about michael? Or — or sonny? I’m sure they’d help. Oh, no. No, no. That cannot happen. Tracy, I’m not going to relitigate this, okay? The judge imposed a sentence. I have every intention of serving it. Nothing is final. Not with a sharp lawyer and deep pockets. You have both. You know, I hate to say it, but I actually agree with tracy. Thank you. Wait, what? The deal you made with the U.S. Attorneys was for a six-month sentence at spring ridge. Now that that deal has been altered, maybe there is a little wiggle room for you to change your plea to not guilty. But what good is it going to do? I mean, the outcome is still going to be the same unless I say that carly — it was all her idea — which, obviously, I’m not going to do that — this is for the best. For who? For carly, not for your daughter. Look, scout has a loving and a safe home with you and with dante, okay? And, yes, I know she’s going to miss me, and it’s going to kill me to be away from her again, believe me, but the disruption is minimal. Taking the deal even with the extended prison sentence, it’s — it does the most amount of good for the most amount of people. The most amount of — for what? And you’re supposed to be the sacrificial lamb for the greater good? How is that fair? Well, nobody said life was fair, sam. Self-sacrifice is a highly overrated virtue. I violated the rules, everybody. I’ve got to pay the penalty. The least I can do is face the consequences. What about the consequences for carly? Why are you the only one being punished? Drew: Sam, you got to drop this. Mommy, daddy, why are you fighting? What do you mean I shouldn’t trust you? I just mean I’m no angel. Don’t you think I know that? We were coconspirators when we passed off my baby as yours. Yeah, but that was for a good cause — to protect bailey louise from peter.

[ Telephone rings ] Hold on one sec. Hello? Oh. Okay, yeah, I’ll be right there. That was distribution. They’re having an issue. They’re having a hard time keeping up, as well. This might take a minute. Okay.

[ Sighs ] Still logged in to the shared file. Oh, maxie, you shouldn’t make this so easy. There’s the deceptor file with all the deceptor information. Just have to copy and paste.

[ Exhales slowly ] If I accept your offer and sign with a local label, how do I know they’ll make me a priority and not focus on some local indie nonsense? Because if I introduce you, you will be a priority.

[ Cellphone ringing ] Ava. Sonny, I’m — I’m at the park with pilar. Someone has taken avery. What do you mean someone took avery? She was with pilar, and then suddenly she wasn’t with pilar. And the cops think that she might have wandered off, but I have a really bad feeling. Send me a pin. I’ll be right there. I got to get out — no, I heard. Go. I love you.


Wow. Four in a row. Perfect. And a great location to get a tan. Oh, yeah.

[ Sighs ] On the other hand, you can’t be too careful about uv radiation these days. So , uh, is lucy forcing usto become fast friends? Chief of detectives, remember? It’s my job to figure out people’s motives. Well, let’s put it this way. I wouldn’t put it past lucy to try to re-create the same couples dynamic she enjoyed when she was married to kevin. Yeah, the four of us had a lot of fun. Yeah, so I hear. You know, about that, I-I’m sure that dr. Collins is happy with my sister these days, but I have to confess, I-I’m more than a little surprised the good doctor would be willing to walk away from somebody as wonderful as lucy. And I know she’s made her fair share of mistakes, but I just naturally assumed he’d be as charitable and forgiving as she is.

[ Laughs ] Did I say something funny? Lucy? Charitable and forgiving? Obviously, you’ve never crossed her, and I wouldn’t advise you start now. So you said martin has been acting strangely. How so? Okay. Actually, it’s really been ever since I got out of the safe house. But it’s especially glaring these last few days. Okay, give me some examples. Okay, so his phone rings — he doesn’t answer it. He sends it right to voicemail, and he won’t let me know who called. And then he’s especially cryptic about all business matters. And the way he — he just clams up as soon as I say, “oh, you helped me invent the deceptor,” no, clams up. Bizarro. What do you mean? I mean, when I’m telling people, I’ll say, “martin and I had this great talk, and he inspired me to create the deceptor.” And so I try to acknowledge his contribution? Mm-hmm. Unh-unh. Shuts the conversation right down. Is it possible that he doesn’t want to hog the spotlight from you? I mean, you did do all the legwork. Yeah, you’re right. But, no, I-I thought of that. But you know how I do. I take pride in being in touch with the universe. So what is the universe telling you? Something is very fishy. And I just — I really just do not know what to do… sure you do. That’s why you asked me to meet you here. You want me to spy on your boyfriend. I promise, mommy and daddy –we weren’t fighting. Sure sounded like a fight. Yeah. Honey, that’s just because mommy and daddy were a little scared. Yeah, do you remember how scared you got when I let you stay up and watch “the wolf man” with me and rocco that night? Mommy was really mad. Yeah, she was.

[ Chuckles ] Wolf man wasn’t the only one in the doghouse that night, right? Daddy, why are you and mommy scared? Well… I think “scared” is probably not the right word. More like a little worried. About what? Here, let’s sit down. Come on. Okay. There you go. Good. Okay, um… do you remember when daddy told you that he made a mistake at work and the police weren’t very happy about it? Well, um, yesterday, I went to court and because of that mistake that I made at work, I have to go to prison for a little while. Mommy had to go to prison a long time ago. Danny and I went to visit her. It was scary. It can be scary, yeah. I mean, it’s, um… it’s hard to have to stay there, but your mommy came home, and — and so will I. Are you sad? I am sad. Mostly because I’m going to be away from you. But sometimes in life, you — you got to do things that you don’t like to do. So I’m going to go, and I’m going to make the most of it. And when I get out, the first person I’m going to see is going to be you, my love. Promise? I promise. Hey, scout. How about you show me those beautiful new flowers? I can come and visit you, right, daddy? Every weekend. Rain or shine, baby. Carly, if you have economic ties to sonny, that will only force both of you under the forensic financial microscope together. I can’t believe this. Trust me, trust me, that would not end well for either of you. Diane, what about michael? Michael sailed through this whole debacle unscathed, but if the sec starts looking in his direction, say, hypothetically, did he know what you and drew were up to? Understood. Alright, good. Because if michael offers a sum of money to a party involved in his company’s insider trading, even if that party is his mother, that will force the sec to ask even more questions. In the grand scheme of things, it’s only money. Drew’s losing his freedom. Scout’s losing her father.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Okay, I have to go…

[ Sighs ] …Finalize paperwork with the feds, so just wish me luck. Carly, I know it doesn’t seem like it now, but this is actually a good deal.

[ Scoffs ]

[ Sighs ] What are you going to do? What happened? Mr. Corinthos, I’m so sorry. I turned my back for two seconds, and she was gone. Alright, that’s not important right now. Right now, what — what is important is we find avery. Frank, check around. See if you can see anything, find anything. Come back and let me know. Got it, boss. Corinthos, my team’s got this. Yeah, well, so does my team. I’m just warning you, if there are other elements at play, there is a risk that your presence could elevate the situation. You know what, detective? I don’t care how you feel about my business, but right now, I am a parent first. I’m going to have dante get involved if that’s what — sonny, you need to listen to me. There’s something that you need to know. Austin: You all looking for someone?


Avery, are you alright? I was so worried. Contact dispatch. Tell them to cancel the missing child alert. Sweetheart, what happened? Where did you go? Okay, so I-I was out for a run, and I saw this little one running around by the pond all on her own. I saw a bunch of balloons in the air, like 10, and I wanted to see where they were coming from. And I could tell that something was up ’cause there was nobody around, there’s no adults, pilar wasn’t anywhere to be seen, and, luckily, she remembered me and saw me as a familiar face. And so I-I asked her if she would allow me to go get her a balloon in exchange for bringing her to find pilar. Avery, don’t do that again. Do you understand me? Never run from mommy, daddy, or pilar. You know better than that. Yes, daddy. Let me tell you something. You never let her out of your sight. A call came up on my caller id as my grandmother, but when I answered, it was a telemarketer. And when I looked up, avery was gone. I’m so sorry. I… it’s alright. It’s alright. I was scared out of my mind. Everything’s going to be okay. I’m going to take avery home with me. When you’re finished with the police, you just come by. Is that alright? Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that’s great. Thank you. Alright, come on. Bye, sweetheart. I don’t want you doing that again. You understand me? Where was avery when you spotted her? Austin: She was on the south side of the pond by the boathouse. I-I usually run around the meadow, and then I go around the pond. And I was coming around, and I saw this little girl. Nina: It’s, uh, sonny. He just texted. Um, they found avery. She’s — she’s alright. She just wandered off and — chasing a balloon. Oh, my god. I am so relieved. Can’t imagine. Having kids? Must be terrifying all the time. Which is why I never wanted that baggage in my life. Well, you’d be surprised how children can make your life a lot more meaningful, even if it’s painful. Yeah, well, I need the room and the time to follow my passion — music. And part of me feels that, even if I stick around port charles, being near these kids who think I’m their old man, I could grow soft, turn into someone like the man they think I am. Right. I think it’s great that you’re considering sonny’s offer. Being a big fish in a really small pond — there’s nothing wrong with that. How so? Well, you know, the boutique labels here, there’s no national reach. There’s no touring infrastructure for you like there is in L.A. And in the city. Stay here, it’s just for the love of music, right? You play in people’s basements and living rooms. But if you go out there in the world, you just will be chasing fame… and glory… and attention. That’s not what you want, is it, eddie? Sorry that took me so long. I… brook lynn? Oh, drew, I just feel so horrible about your sentence. Mnh. That judge was just so arbitrary and unfair. The opposite of justice. I just wish it didn’t have to be this way. Oh, me, too. Believe me. Me, too. But I-I have to say, your support, all of your support, it really means a lot to me, so I thank you guys. I, um… I should check in with carly. I, um… we should — I don’t want tracy… yeah. …To corrupt our daughter for too long. Mm-hmm.

[ Chuckles ] Hey, sam, um… what you said to scout about visiting me in prison on the weekends, are you — are you sure that’s going to be a good idea for her? Yeah, she was able to handle it when she came to see me, so… I mean, she’s made of steel, like her mom and dad. Hey, if you happen to get into any trouble in there, let me know. I might be able to help. I’ll do it quietly, obviously, so as not to alert anyone to the fact that you have connections in law enforcement. I appreciate that a lot. Honestly, the — the best thing that you can do for me is, you know, what you’ve been doing. Be present for scout. That means a lot. Done. Thanks, man. Okay. Good luck. $5 million. $5 million. That’s a fortune. Okay, but I’ll figure something out. I’ll get a job. I mean, I’ll — I’ll get a job. I just haven’t because I thought I was going to get the metro court back, but it’s been a year. I’ll get a job. That’s my reality now. You — okay. You don’t deserve this. Please let me help you. No. And I don’t want you to worry about me.

[ Scoffs ] I will figure it out. When I came to port charles, I had absolutely nothing. I started on the bottom, and I clawed my way to the top. I mean, this is a setback, right? It’s a blip in my life. I am carly spencer. I will get every single thing back that I lost. I promise you that.


well, you know, I mean, I really only asked you here to confide in you, my very, very best friend in the whole entire world. I would never dream of suggesting, you know, I don’t know, maybe you put back on, for the benefit of me, that P.I. Hat of yours, and, um, perhaps try to get to the bottom of all the mysterious circumstances plaguing my relationship. Okay, well, if that’s the case, forget I ever brought it up. It’s okay. No, no, no. Okay, you win, you win. It’s fine, really. I-I just need to know what is going on, so please, please, my friend, will you help me? Of course. Okay, and who knows? You know, it might just end up being a big fat nothingburger. In the spirit of our new friendship, let me give you a piece of advice. Lucy doesn’t hold a grudge too often. I mean, she forgives a white lie, a transgression, even a crime. But the ones she never forgives are the ones who dismiss her, who think she’s stupid or easily manipulated or lacking agency. I see. But the two of you are equals, you’re on the same level, so I don’t see a problem. Martin: Oh, god.

[ Groans ] Hey, janine, it’s maxie. Uh, is brook lynn in her office? She left her salad in my office, and I was going to… uh, what do you mean she didn’t come in today? I just saw her. 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. Last fall? Wow, that’s a lot sooner than we thought. We? You’re holding out on me. Are you working with someone else to take down deception? Yours is not to ask questions. Yours is to do as I say, or else. When you say you’re going to figure it out, I believe you. You should. The world may be kicking us while we’re down, but I kick back. 10 times harder. We’re going to get through this.

[ Knock on window ] Hey. Hi. Come here. Good to see you. Yeah. Good to see you. I’ll give you two a second. Okay. I’ve been looking forward to seeing you all day. Now that I’m here, it’s just, uh… it’s all happening so fast, you know? This is where we say goodbye. You’ve given me something to think about.

[ Sonny chuckles ] Nina! Hi, sweetheart! Oh, my gosh! What happened to you? Are you okay? Yeah, she wandered off, but she’s doing great. Oh. How about we go into the kitchen and get a snack? Okay. Alright, let’s go. Come on. You must’ve been scared there for a second. Now you must know how your family, uh, feels. Except I’m a grown man, and I don’t owe the quartermaines anything, just like the quartermaines don’t owe me anything. Look, sonny, I, um — I have some reservations about staying in this town and about how much a local label could actually accomplish for me, but that being said, a bird in the hand is better than two in the bush. So I am willing to give this arrangement a chance — for now. Thank you both for answering my questions. Right place, right time, right? I can give you a ride home if you need one. Thanks. Miss jerome — we’ll finish this conversation tomorrow. Well, I mean, lucky for you, I was around when your nanny was out to lunch — you son of a bitch. You set this whole thing up, didn’t you?

On the next “General Hospital” —

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hey, I’m glad I caught you. It’s me. Perfect timing. I just got home from work. Nice. Um, well I was just wondering if you had any plans for tonight? Not so far. Why? I thought I’d take you to dinner. Dinner tonight.

Yeah. Hey. Oh, I’m so glad you’re home. I just got back from court where I gave an hour long summation and three inch heels. Maybe you should take them off. I can’t wait. But the worst part about the summation was that the whole time my mind kept wandering really,

I kept thinking about you really, really?

And you know what I was thinking when I was thinking about you? What’s that?

How I can’t wait to make you a father.

Hi, Pedro. It’s, it’s me again. I, I was just wondering if he just checked in and told you when he might be back. Okay. Thank you. Knock, knock. Hey. Oh, Harold, let me, Chloe, this is such a nice surprise. It was good to see you. You too. I know that you had that appointment with a specialist yesterday. I wanted to know how it went.

Um, pretty well. I mean that the doctor thinks that I can carry this baby to term. That’s great news. Yeah. Nicole, I’m sure you and EJ are just thrilled. Well, I am, uh, I don’t know about ej. What’s that supposed to mean? I, I don’t know. I, I, I haven’t talked to him for days. It’s like he’s fallen off the face of the earth.

Yes. Hello mother. It’s your son, Dimitri, yet again? Yeah, I think it’s a little odd that for the last month you have done nothing but nonstop nag for me to bag a wife so that you get your hands on this funnel, your fortune, and you will not answer my calls or call me back to tell you exactly what it is that you want to hear.

I asked the risk check woman to marry me. She hasn’t accepted the proposal quite yet, but let’s just say I am very confident that she will.

Where’d you get those? The front desk. Apparently they were sent to our room. Now let’s find out which of my many suitors is trying to rekindle my flame. Oh, they’re for you. For me. From who? From whom? Kale Surprise or from Dimitri. Hoping these will inspire you to contemplate my proposal. Anxiously awaiting your answer, Dimitri Ha.

Fat chance dude, like you would consider marrying that guy. Actually, I am considering it.

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

So mother, if you give a damn at all about your son’s future, please give him a call back. Hey, uh, wait a minute. Are you Dimitri Von Weisner? I am. And you are Son Cook. Okay. I’ve never heard of you. I co-own the Spectator with Gwen Risk check. Couldn’t help but overhear your phone call just then. So you listened in on a private call.

Well, I listened in when I heard you say the word, a risk check, unusual name caught my attention. It was still a private call. Well, I only caught the tail end. You know the part where you said that you asked her to marry you.

You’re seriously considering marrying that tectonic twat. You don’t even know him. Well, I know him well enough in the biblical sense. You slept with him once and now you’re thinking of tying the knot. What does he have a magic penis? Well, it didn’t pull a rabbit out of a hand. Okay, then if he isn’t David Copperfield of the bedroom, why would you even think about marrying this guy?

Yeah, I’d love to have dinner with you. But I do need some time to get ready. Okay. Well, what do you say? I pick you up in one hour. Perfect. See you then.

Hey, Chanel, what’s the matter? It’s, it’s, Is he still missing? No, he’s, he’s dead.

You asked Gwen to marry you. You, you barely know her. She only interviewed you once. Oh, well it was an in-depth interview. You called her that risk check woman. Yes. If I’d called her my darling dearest Gwen, my mother would’ve no idea who I was talking about. Ah, and you seem to be more interested in my affairs to call than my own mother.

No contrary more to me. I don’t give a damn about you all your affairs. It’s Gwen. I’m worried about, obviously, and my question to you is, Mr. Cook, why do you care who Gwen marries?

I don’t understand why it’s considered to be so crazy to want to marry an attractive man. He finds me interesting and he, he wants to spend time with me. I’m an attractive man. I find you interesting. I wanna spend time with you, but I don’t think you should marry me. Yes, Matty. Dimitri and I don’t sit around gossiping about fashion and Harry styles tattoos, and how long have I been saying I need to just get over Sandra and finally move on with my life?

Well, it’s one thing to sleep with someone on the rebound, even to have a rebound thing, but you can’t have a rebound marriage. This is not a rebound. And the reason why I took so long to get over Xander is because I’ve just been waiting for the right man to just come along. And you think Hare Dimitri, who you’ve known for a nanosecond, is the right guy?

He might be. He, I mean, he takes all the boxes off, doesn’t he? He’s tall, he’s rich. He’s, he’s really handsome and he’s so romantic. I. He’s so romantic and after all, my beyond dysfunctional relationships, I have to say, it’s really nice to be the one being pursued like Katniss in the Hunger Games. I haven’t seen that, so I don’t understand the joke and I don’t plan to anyway.

God bloody hell, Matty look after the way I grew up and you know that. That’s why I’ve always thought that there was something wrong with me, and Dimitri understands that. Because he lived that as well and he sees me for me, who I am and he still wants me anyway. Look, Gwenie, I get wanting to have that kind of connection with someone, but I also get all too well how painful it is when you find out it was all just an occlusion.

What’s he saying? What I’ve been saying all along Gwen. This guy, he, he’s playing you. Why can’t you see that?

So EJ disappeared on this mysterious business trip and you haven’t heard from him since? Well, I’m, he texted me a few times saying that the trip went longer than he expected. That’s it. Well, when I asked, he said that he couldn’t go into detail. I mean, I, I. I get it. You know, Demira business is confidential.

Nicole, you are having that man’s baby. He doesn’t have to share his business affairs, but he does need to call you to see how you’re feeling, how you’re doing. I agree. I do. It is just that something’s off Chloe. I mean, he was so excited to have this baby and he was concerned about me and, and he’s the one who pushed me to go see the specialist, you know?

And now not only could he not be bothered to go to the appointment and he didn’t even bother to call to see how it went. Oh honey, I’m sorry. I just. I wanted a better father for my baby.

So you think we made a baby? Well, if we didn’t, it wasn’t due to lack of effort, we can always try again. You know, double our odds. Hmm.

You really want this, don’t you?

Sorry, Eric, I just can’t risk losing you to Nicole if this baby ends up being yours. That test has to come back negative.

Oh, I just, I know how bad you want this and how important it’s to you. Listen, having a baby, I mean, raising a child, it’s, it’s a big commitment. It’s a lifetime. I hope you’re doing this not just for me. No, I’m not. I

I want this for myself too. I want this for both of us.

Trip. I didn’t hear you come in. Oh, you were on the phone. I didn’t wanna interrupt you. So was that Johnny? Yeah. Sounded like you two were making a date. He asked me out to dinner tonight. Damn. Yeah, he beat me to the punch. You know I was gonna offer to make you dinner when you got home, but, uh, So I get for showering first.

Mm, sorry. So when are you expecting him? He’s picking me up in an hour. Okay. Then that gives us plenty of time for what hour date?

My God. What, what happened? I, I called Eli to see if there was any updates and he told me that, well, that they found blood on the docks and Abe’s hospital bracelet and that, and now he’s on his way to go. Tell Lonnie. Did they, did they find a body? No, but there was a witness who saw him go into the water and he never came back out.

And they, they haven’t found him, but they, they. They, they think you drown.

I just can’t believe it. It just, it doesn’t seem real. Abe was, uh, he was a great guy. He didn’t deserve this

well. Um, I should go. Um, Eli said that Jada and Ray were on their way to tell Mama, and so I, I, I have to be there so that she’s not alone. You sure you’re okay to drive? I have to be, I, I have to be there for my mom. She needs you in one piece. Come on. Lemme take you

Eric. I meant what I said before. Both my parents are dead Collins in jail probably for a very long time. I mean, the odds of him having kids are pretty slim. I’ve got no cousins. I’ve. I know uncles or aunts when she’s, I really have no extended family, so if I wanna be surrounded by family, I have to create that for myself.

I’m a big family and they drive me crazy, and I can’t imagine life without them. I envy that my family. You know, which is pretty obvious was messed up. But raising a baby with you would gimme a chance to kinda move past all of that, you know, make up for the mistakes that my family and die made.

It’s, I just feel like it would be, Chance at redemption. Yeah. That, in other words, I mean, if I, if I can be a good mom, maybe I can be a good person.

You know what may, maybe I, I’m being too hard on ej too hard. You literally just said it was his idea for you to see that specialist and then when the appointment comes, he just flakes. Well, I, I mean, he had a good reason I. A business trip. Look, it’s, it’s the company. It’s, it’s the de mere legacy. It means a lot to him.

And it’s not like I didn’t know exactly who he was when we got back together. I mean, I was married to the man twice, so. You’ve accepted him. Flaws and all

I have. Okay. And I think that you should accept the fact that I have done the same with Sander.

I care who grand marries because we used to be involved. In fact, we were nearly married newly. It didn’t work out, obviously. Obviously. Yes. Your law seems to be my gain. Sander. Xander. Yes. Xander. That does ring a bell. And yet you said you never heard of me. Well, it didn’t register at first, but now it does.

Yes. Gwen told me all about your history. She told me all about how you hurt her and now how she’s doing everything in her power to move on from you.

You think Dimitri’s playing me. For God’s sakes, Quinnie, I’ve been saying that all along. Why is my thinking that this guy is a devious dirt bag news to you? Why is my thinking that his wanting to marry you is not coming from a pure place and that schmuck’s heart surprising to you? Okay. Okay. It’s not a surprise to me.

I know that you have not trusted Dmitri from the start, but what you are not seeing here is that the relationship has changed. Oh, I’m seeing it. It’s gone from casual and terrible to serious and alarming. Will you just listen to me please? Me writing a favorable article about Dimitri is one thing, but him marrying me, I mean, how is that gonna earn him Any respect?

I’m an ex-con for God’s sake. I’ve screwed over half of the people that I know. Not to mention the fact that I don’t have a bloody dollar to my name. So what on earth do I have to offer him? How does he benefit from making me his wife? Can we have a date? I mean, you said Johnny’s not picking you up for an hour, right?

Right. But. I need time to get ready. It takes you a whole hour to get ready. Uh, no, but even if I hurry, it’s won’t be long before Johnny gets here. Okay. Then it’ll have to be a quick date. Come on. I don’t know. What do you say? We mean back here in 15 minutes for a 45 minute date. I bet you I can show you a better time in 45 minutes than Johnny could over a three course meal.

Okay. You’re alone. I’ll see you in 15 minutes.

What does me dating EJ have to do with you dating Xander? Well, if you know, if you’re okay with all the things that ejs done, Do you think that you should lighten up on Xander? You were kind of hard on him the other day with good reason. For God’s sake, Chloe, he kidnapped me and Holly and, and Bonnie and Susan, and he left you with a murderous drug, Lord, in Mexico I know.

And EJ kidnapped Sidney. Remember that? Look, we could spend the rest of this night cataloging all of ejs and Sanders crimes and. Trying to figure out who’s more appalling or whatever. But for the sake of our friendship, please, I think we should stay off of that topic. I, I think we should refrain from commenting on each other’s person of interest.

So you’re telling me that Xandr is likely to remain your person of interest. Possibly. So how serious is it? You don’t wanna know if it’s serious. You wanna know if I’ve slept in it well, have you? Not yet. Ah, I bet you’re going to.

Gwen and I had a complicated relationship. Complicated by the fact that she lied, cheated and fed my fiance psychosis, inducing drugs to sent her to a mental institution. Huh. So you were in a relationship with Gwen and had a fiance. It was a very complicated relationship. Yes. And it’s over now, and the fact that you still work with Gwen doesn’t change the fact that you have no right.

To anything in her personal life. That’s not your call. Well, let me put it this way for you, Xander. I don’t like it when people comment, let alone interfere. In my personal life, these people, they usually regret it. I make sure of that. Well, that’s wonderful. We have something in common cuz if someone hurts someone that I care about, then I do still care about Gwen.

They also end up regretting it, and I also make sure of it.

Look, I don’t know what Dimitri wants, but he sure as hell must, wants something. Wow. You really know how to flatter a girl, don’t you look gwenie. It’s not your self-esteem I’m worried about. It’s your happiness. I am trying to protect you from being a jilted bride. Again. That’s it. Darius. I married Darius because he needed a green card.

Maybe that’s what Dimitri needs since he’s from Transylvania or whatever. He’s not from bloody Transylvania. And where is he from? Last chance Iowa cut and shoot Texas. By the way, those are names of actual places I Googled. Weirdest American city names, committed them to memory to use for an occasion just like this.

Wow. How very, very clever of you. And now back to the point, it doesn’t matter where Dimitri’s from because he’s in this country legally, how legally, and even so maybe his visa’s about to expire or maybe just maybe he actually loves me and he does wanna spend the rest of his life with me. Did you ever think of that?

What are you thinking? Mm. I’m thinking I’m starving. Me too. You want to go down and get some dinner in the pub? Sure. But first, why don’t you call your mother? My mother? Why? Well, remember I told you a few weeks back. That I’d suggested the four of us having dinner. Yeah. You can invite her and John and we can tell them the good news that we’re trying to have a baby.

No, not on the first dinner. Maybe we should just kind of ease them into this. Okay. You’re right. You know what? I will call my mom and ask her if she and John are available for dinner tonight. How’s that? Mm-hmm.

Hey, mom, the reason why I’m calling is because Sloan and I wanted to know if you and John will join us for dinner tonight. What? What happened? What happened with Abe? Mama? Mama, you home?

I don’t think she’s here. Yeah, well, Eli told me that, that Jada and Ray were coming by. So what if she doesn’t know what happened to Abe

Jada? Hi. Um, yeah, yeah. Eli told me about Abe. Um, but I, I just got home and my mom’s not here. You did? Okay. Um, thanks for letting me know. It’s, it’s okay. Johnny’s here. Okay, thanks.

They, uh, they talked to your mom when they told her. She insisted on going down to the dock, so, They’re there with her now. Okay. Uh, you, you, you want me to drive you over there? Jada said that as best if I just stay here. That way when Mama comes home, she isn’t alone. But you, you don’t have to stay though.

I, I’m sure you probably already have planned, so it’s really okay. No, it’s not. I’m gonna stay here until your mom gets back.

Trip.

You look very lovely. Thanks. Ready for our date.

Okay. This one. Ah, okay. Okay.

What? Yeah, how did you do that? Carefully. Okay.

Which one? No. Oh yeah. What? Ret. Nice and quick.

Okay. Yeah, I saw that one coming. I usually don’t lose at this game. Oh really? Yeah.

Of course it is possible that Dimitri loves you. You are eminently lovable. It’s just not likely. Because you are eminently cynical. I am protective of my best friend is what I am. And look, don’t shoot the messenger. I’m just saying as someone who knows a thing or two about cons, I can spot one a mile away and gwenny this dude is up to something.

I will bet you my favorite Rainbow Chino shorts.

Is that a threat? It’s more like a promise. What are you gonna do? You’re gonna run a nasty article about me. Oh, that’s right. You haven’t been in town long enough to know about my past careers, have you? Well, I’ve had a few past careers myself. Great. I hope that experience serves you well, cuz if you do anything to hook win, spectator’s gonna be the least of your worries.

Look, I don’t know what’s gonna happen between Xander and me. We haven’t been together that long, obviously, and that would be a big step. And you mean sharing a bed with the man you already share an apartment with? Uh, okay. All right. Whatever you and Sander do is your business. Okay. Thank you for acknowledging that.

Mm-hmm. And speaking of, I have to go Sander’s picking up some dinner from the P, but I love you. And I hope that EJ comes home soon. Yeah, me too. Been a little lonely lately. Well, aside from whoever is hanging out in here, well, I’m always here for you all. I know. Thank you. Love you too. Yeah, yeah. Thanks for letting me know.

I’m sorry too.

Bye. Geez. What happened? Someone saw Abe Carver fall off the docks this afternoon. They’re sending divers in. They presume Dead. Dead. Oh my God. I’m so sorry. Has he just been wandering around this whole time? I’m not sure why. Oh. Cause I was thinking about what this means for my brother. I mean, when Abe went missing the, the first thing I thought of was, you know, Dick Collin killed him.

But if this all happened this afternoon, I mean, well, Collin’s in jail, this could be really good news for him. I’m so sorry, Eric. I was so insensitive. I know what Abe meant to you and your family and, and Colin caused them so much pain. I’m sorry. Yeah, I need to, but listen, I understand you love your brother.

Oh, no. What Nicole? He was like a father to her. She’s just, I know. I, I had no idea. She’s gonna take the snooze really hard when she finds out. I mean, she go see her. You want me to go see Nicole, Eric? She’s gonna need a friend right now. That’s very kind of you. And as you know, as a lawyer, you probably shouldn’t let that get around, but you’re a good purse.

No, you did it. I mean, you packed a whole date into 45 minutes. Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it. If you know the date’s not over yet. No, no, no. You can’t leave out the kiss. Goodnight

Johnny.

Hey, Johnny, are you on your way? Um, no, actually, uh, I, I ran into Chanel and she just found out that Abe is dead. What? Oh my God. Yeah. Um, I mean, you know, I saw her, she, she was so upset. I, I didn’t want her to drive. So I’m here at her mom’s apartment now. Um, she’s with the police, her, her mom. I mean, um, look, I, I don’t think I can leave Chanel alone.

No, no, of course not. And I don’t know when Pauline’s gonna be back, so I’m not really sure when I can get over there. Okay, Johnny, don’t worry about it. I’ll do it some other night. No, no. I’ll be there. No, look, I can’t imagine how Chanel must be feeling right now. You have to stay with her and you can’t just run out when her mom gets there.

You’re right, you’re right. I, uh, I can’t, um, I’m really sorry. Don’t be, I’m just really glad that you were there when she needed to. Thanks for being so understanding. I’ll, uh, I’ll call you later.

Was that Wendy? Yeah. Yeah, it was. Did you two have plans for the night?

I, I can’t believe it. A, was one of my dad’s best friends. Seemed like a lot of people left him, especially Chanel. I mean, she lost her own dad a while ago and he was the only father she had left.

Johnny, it’s so good of you to be here with me, but honestly, you don’t have to stay. Look, don’t worry about me. Okay. Look, I am happy to stay for as long as you need me. Sure. I’m sure there’s no way I’m leaving you.

Oh, hey, I, uh, got the spicy chicken sandwich extra pickles. Oh, thank you. Did you remember the hot sauce? Of course, yes. Is everything okay? Yeah, yeah, sure. You seem a little distracted. Yeah, I guess I have, I kind of a weird runin outside the pub. Really? Yeah, I was one. Dimitri v Ner. Looks like he and Gwenna getting married.

Did it ever occur to you to just. Keep your doubts to yourself and just wish me the best. I don’t keep my doubts to myself because I wish you the best, and marrying that card. Carrying conman would be a train wreck, a plane crash, a tsunami, followed by a winter ice storm, followed by a catastrophic typhoon.

Hi. Hi. Hi. I hope you don’t mind me stopping by. No, not at all. Oh, I see you got my flowers. Yes. Um, did. Um, they’re so lovely. Although next time you might wanna spring for a larger arrangement. Leo, weren’t you just leaving? No, I wasn’t.

Oh, he doesn’t bother me. One learns to simply ignore Ladies in waiting. Ignore me at your own peril. Von Leischner, by the way, I Googled that name. It’s derived from the German word fleisch, meaning meat, and the suffix’s man, meaning man. Thus, the word means butcher synonymous with terminator, slaughterer slayer.

Take your pick. What brings you by Dmitri? I was just in the neighborhood and I was wondering now that you’ve had a bit of time to, uh, think about it, would you do me the great honor of becoming my wife?

Oh, here’s to hoping you’re in there, baby. So I don’t have to feel so guilty about what I did to Eric’s paternity test. Uh, then again, maybe there’s no reason to feel guilty. Maybe EJ really is the father of Nicole’s baby. After all. Ej, I know you’re busy, but if you could let me know

if you, if you have. And the idea when you’ll be back,

dammit. Damn it. Dammit. The father of my baby does not walk through that door. In the next five minutes, I am gonna scream.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Hope: So your suitcase, your luggage tag…you… you were in italy?

Liam: Yeah. Yeah, I was there.

Finn: Something happened between hope and thomas in rome?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: And…and… but liam saw–like… what did he see?

Liam: It was hope. It was hope. She… uh, she kissed him. She… kissed him. The one thing, the– the only thing that could tear my marriage apart was your brother, and she knew that, but she kissed him anyway.

Rj: Mom, do you know how happy I am for you and dad?

Brooke: [Chuckles] Yeah. I know you came back into town not wanting to push us together or getting involved in the family drama.

Rj: That’s true. It’s true. I did say that. But hey, what kid doesn’t want to see his parents together? Especially when he knows the two of them ob y love each other?

Brooke: Sweetheart. So cute.

Rj: Love seeing that smile on you, mom. Especially when it’s because of dad for once.

Brooke: [Laughs]

Taylor: You’re absolutely sure about this? You’re getting back with brooke?

Ridge: It’s already happened.

Taylor: Are you absolutely 1000% sure that this is what you want?

Ridge: What I want is to not hurt you.

Taylor: Well… I mean, a part of me is hurting for myself. But a part of me is hurting for you, too.

Rj: Well, I guess I gotta hand it to the eternal city. It definitely seemed to work its magic on you and dad, that’s for sure.

Brooke: It was truly a remarkable moment.

Rj: Yeah? Larger than life? Kind of like your whole love story has been?

Brooke: [Laughs] Yeah. Finally a happy ending for us after all.

Rj: For you and for dad. Although I’m sure it’s going to be more complicated for dad because of taylor. I mean, I’m sure he doesn’t want to hurt her and he has to, telling her what he’s telling her right now. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m excited for the two of you. It’s a new beginning. It’s awesome. It’s great. But for taylor, it marks the end of any hope she had of getting back together again with dad. Right?

Brooke: Hmm.

Ridge: You know how much I care about you, right? How much I love you and our family and all the memories?

Taylor: We will always want what’s best for each other. I know that. But that is what makes this so hard because… because I know what always happens to you, always. More heartache and disappointment because of brooke.

Hope: So you didn’t want to tell me that you were there until now?

Liam: Yeah, I wanted to surprise you. I was going to try to make it, you know, for the… hope for the future preview just to show you how much I love you and support you. How sorry I was for doubting you. Didn’t make it in time, though. Missed the whole… missed the whole thing, the press conference, whole event, and… I kind of… wonder how differently things would’ve turned out if I had made it.

Hope: I still don’t really understand. Um… you said you were there, but you didn’t want to see me?

Liam: I didn’t say I didn’t see you.

Rj: So… just so I can be clear, that is what got you and dad back together again. Keyhole?

Brooke: Not just any keyhole. The aventino keyhole.

Rj: You’re really just loving telling this story, aren’t you?

Brooke: [Giggles] Your father told me he looked through the keyhole and he saw everything that they told him he would see.

Ridge: It’s unbelievable. Brooke!

Brooke: [Gasps] Ridge.

Ridge: I found you. I don’t want to spend another day without you. My logan.

Brooke: You said “logan.”

Ridge: My beautiful, wonderful logan.

Brooke: Say it again. Just, say it again.

Ridge: Will you be my logan forever?

Brooke: [Laughs] Yes. Oh, my god, yes. Yes, of course.

Rj: Wow. Kind of sounds like a marriage proposal. I mean, are you guys going to tie the knot sometime soon or am I getting ahead of myself?

Brooke: How would you feel if your father and I did remarry?

Rj: You kidding me? I’d be excited for you! Everyone that thinks you two should be together would be excited for you. But, you know, for… steffy, for thomas, and especially for taylor, it’s going to be a whole different story.

Taylor: I can only speak from what I’ve seen time and time again. You get pulled back into a relationship with brooke and then it’s chaos for you. But–but you know what you’re getting into, ridge. You know the risks.

Ridge: Anything I can say to make this easier? Is there anything I can do?

Taylor: Yes. Be happy. Just be happy and… and keep your eyes open. I told you how I felt before you went to rome. I shared with you all of my concerns about brooke and her manipulations, and I was right. So much for our pact.

Finn: Hope and thomas kissed?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: Liam was right all this time. Obviously, thomas’s obsession with hope got the better of…

Steffy: No, no, thomas wasn’t the one who initiated it.

Finn: Are you saying that–

Steffy: It was hope. Hope initiated the kiss. She wanted my brother.

Hope: You saw me? But you said you missed the event.

Liam: Yeah, I did.

Hope: Okay, so, how… when did you…

Liam: It’s funny ’cause I had all these, um… plans, you know. I wanted to– I wanted to maybe take you to the stella maris afterwards, just the two of us.

Hope: I would have loved that. I wish we had gone.

Liam: Do you?

Hope: Of course.

Liam: Okay. Well, then that’s why… the tag on the luggage. Anyway, maybe you can tell me a little bit about…

Hope: Wait, but liam, you still haven’t explained why you didn’t say a word–

Hope: Hope, I think–I think I’m done for the moment. Maybe it’s time for you to do some explaining. Having triplets is…

Taylor: Knowing brooke as–as well as I do, and despite our bestie pact, I’m–I’m not surprised that she wasn’t honest with me about what had been building between the two of you. Because, I mean, really, when has brooke ever volunteered honesty?

Ridge: Come on, taylor.

Taylor: Oh, please, don’t start defending.

Ridge: I’m not defending anybody! Trying to help you understand.

Taylor: Okay, but it is not your job to help me understand. I understand who she is and how this is going to play out, and it is not my job to help you understand that. Come on, ridge. She has children with your father. She slept with your brother. Okay, I did, too. But what I didn’t do is get pregnant with my daughter’s husband and have a child with him. But you don’t have to worry about that now, because brooke’s older, so that’s not going to happen. But what you should worry about is who she is at her core. And that will never change.

Finn: Hope kissed thomas, not the other way around. You were right about her feelings for your brother.

Steffy: Yeah, of course I was right. I mean, I wanted to be wrong. I never thought… I never thought hope would do something like this.

Finn: It’S…it’S… I mean, it’s so unlike her.

Steffy: I just feel terrible for liam. I mean, his whole life has been turned upside down. I really hope, as hard as it might be, that he’s able to find forgiveness. And I’m really hoping that their marriage is able to survive after what hope did.

Hope: What do you want me to explain?

Liam: Told you, everything. I just… want to hear about your trip. Want to know what you did. What’d you do? What’d you do?

Hope: Okay, well, uh, like–like I said, the preview and the press event were a hit.

Liam: You and thomas were a hit. Okay. Got it.

Hope: Yes, I would say our hard work paid off.

Liam: Clearly. And then what, after?

Hope: After what? After the event, hope. What’d you do? Where’d you go? Did you go back to the hotel?

Hope: No.

Liam: Stick around the piazza? Sign some autographs? Take some pictures with fans? No, I know, you were so busy you never got a chance to go sightseeing. Did you go sightseeing?

Hope: Actually, yes.

Liam: Alone? Or were you with someone? (Vo) at dog chow

Brooke: Taylor made it very clear to ridge just how much she loves him when she broke our pact and was trying to get him back. I don’t think she’ll ever get over your father.

Rj: Mom, if that’s true, then what dad’s telling her right now? I mean, taylor’s a strong person, but she’s going to be heartbroken at the prospect of losing dad forever.

Taylor: Okay. I’m going to say– I’m going to say one more thing, and then I’m not going to bring this up ever again. Brooke is going to betray you. And then she’ll admit it after she gets caught, and then she’ll say she never meant to hurt you, and she’ll somehow make herself the victim, and then you’ll forgive her. Okay, I’m done. Oh, god, rich. I just don’t understand how you can just continue to get yourself in this pain and disappointment over and over again! That is what is so heartbreaking about this. Because I love you. Okay, now I’m done.

Finn: Also, it’s true– hope has feelings for your brother.

Steffy: She wouldn’t have kissed him that way if she didn’T.

Finn: I guess the question now is, after… everything that’s happened, what’s liam going to do?

Steffy: I am so sorry. You do not deserve this. You do not, okay?

Liam: So… after the press conference, you walked around rome. By yourself?

Hope: No.

Liam: No? So someone was with you?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: Your mom? Was it your mom? Was it–who was it? Was it carter?

Hope: No. Um, I don’T… so you came to rome, and then you turned back around and I just don’t understand.

Liam: Yeah, I don’t– I don’t understand why you’re not just answering my question. After the preview, you did some sightseeing. Who did you do the sightseeing with?

Hope: I don’t want to talk about rome anymore because I’m home now, and this is where my focus is with you and our family.

Liam: Man, you know, I really wish I could focus on this. I really do. But it’s hard when you’re not answering me. After the event, you walked around, you saw some places. There’s so many great places to see, hope. Trevi fountain? Did you go to trevi fountain? How about the pantheon? Did you go–no. I know where you went. I know where you went. You went where everybody goes. The coliseum. Did you go to the coliseum, hope? Did you go there?

Hope: Yes, I went to the coliseum.

Liam: You went to the coliseum. Okay, progress. Who’d you go there with? You can’t say it. You can’t say it. But we both know who you went there with. I know because… I saw you two together. You didn’t even try to hide it. You’re just out in the open for everyone to see. For me to see. I mean, you didn’t know I was there. You thought I was thousands of miles away watching our children. The family that you claim matters more to you than anything, so you thought you were safe. You thought I would never find out, but I found out, and here’s the thing. I don’t want to have to say it. Don’t make me. You say it. Just tell me what you did. It’s okay. I’ll help you. We can do this together. We’ll do it. Just repeat after me. “I…” come on. “I…” repeat after me. “I…” hope, you can do this. “I…” come on, hope. “I… kissed….” come on, hope. Say it! “I! Kissed!” Come on. Come on. I want to hear you say it, please. “I kissed…” one more time. Come on. Do it with me. Do it with me, please. What? What? What?!

Hope: I kissed thomas.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Sharon: Faith, I’m fine. I’m keeping busy, I promise. Well, with all kinds of things. You’re too sweet to call and check on me. I’m supposed to be the one asking you that question.

[ Knocking on the door ]

[ Sharon gasps, sighs ] Hold on, somebody’s here.

Adam: Sharon, it’s me.

Sharon: Oh, it’s adam. Just a minute! Um, I better go. Okay, I will tell him that just for you. Call soon. Love you too. Bye.

Adam: I startled you. I’m– I’m sorry.

Sharon: What kind of jerk shows up at a crime victim’s house this late at night without calling first?

[ Adam exhaling ]

Nick: How are you feeling?

Sally: I don’t know.

Nick: What can I do?

Sally: Uh, nothing.

[ Sally chuckling ]

Nick: Uh, do you wanna lay down or…

Sally: I will figure it out.

Nick: Are you in pain? Is it time for your medication?

Sally: Oh, I don’t know. Maybe.

Nick: I can handle that. I can prep whatever. If you’re hungry, I can get you some food from downstairs.

Sally: Okay, will you just stop, please? You’re hovering and it’s making me really uncomfortable.

Nick: Yeah. Uh, sorry. That’s the last thing you need.

Sally: It’s just an awful reminder that everything is not okay and that is far worse than any physical pain.

Summer: I have a confession that I need to make.

Chance: Am I gonna regret listening?

Summer: Probably.

Chance: Awesome. This is heading in a really great direction.

Summer: It’s my marriage. It might be ending. And it’s all because of the lies I told about my mom.

Michael: She’s gonna be here any minute and I don’t want her thinking that I– I scrimped on all of the romance, so, no. What I need is over the top. Like rocky road ice cream to represent the past, yeah? And then, uh– then, uh– the– some of the– no, all the strawberries, have them dipped in every type of chocolate that you have. And that will illustrate the– the– the sweetness to come. Yes, and, uh– and– and your best wine. And then, whatever– whatever else you can think of. Just– I want– I want everything, I want over the top, all right? Yes. You can do this for me. You can. All right. Thank you.

[ Knocking on door ] Ah, uh… door is open!

[ Michael sighing ]

[ Door clicks open ] Boy. Somebody better do something about the heat in here. It’s hot and getting hotter. Yeah. Does somebody need to be held in a– the hell! Phyllis. (Wheezing)

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Michael: What are you doing here? Where have you been? What did you do? I have too many questions.

[ Michael laughing ] You’re supposed to be on the run, but you seem rather stationary. I mean, in– in a room to which you were not invited.

Phyllis: You worried about me?

Michael: Yeah, of course, I am. I mean, again, what are you doing here? I set up a romantic evening for lauren. She could be here any minute.

Phyllis: Yeah, can we just stall lauren so I can explain to you what’s going on? Please?

Michael: Do you have any idea?

[ Michael scoffing ] No. Of course, you don’T. ‘Cause you’re only worried about yourself.

Phyllis: Michael, I’m sorry. I truly am sorry. Do you think that this has been fun for me?

Michael: I have half a mind to walk right out that door.

Phyllis: Oh, please, don’T. I need your help.

Michael: Damn it!

[ Chuckling ] Oh, it’s good to see you.

[ Michael grunting ]

Phyllis: Ditto.

[ Phyllis chuckling ]

Sally: I– I know I seem like I’m pushing you away right now and I’m sorry. I just– you’ve been nothing but sweet and attentive.

Nick: And that will only stop if you kick me out of here, which I hope you don’T. But if you need some space, sally, I get it. I hope you know, my invitation for you to move in with me doesn’t have an expiration date.

Sally: You know, maybe, I should hold off on making any major life decisions for a bit.

Nick: Of course. Whatever you need.

Sally: You know, maybe, now actually, is a good time for me to kick you out, ’cause I just don’t feel very receptive to nice things right now.

Nick: Well, I could be bad.

[ Sally sighing ] I mean it. Think about how good it would feel to, uh… you know, just get loud and shut me down. Get rid of all those bad feelings you don’t know what to do with. ‘Cause if that’s the case, then you can let me have it. I’m right here. Sticks and stones, fists of fury, whatever. You can get as loud and as mean as you want. Give me your worst. You’re entitled to that.

Sharon: Those were faith’s words by the way. I was just repeating them.

[ Adam laughing ]

Adam: And I bet they came straight from her heart. But, um, she’s right. It is late. I’m– I’m sorry. I, uh– I lost track of time.

Sharon: I’ve been doing the same lately.

Adam: Hmm, well, I wanted to see how you’re doing.

Sharon: I’m fine. Thanks for your concern.

Adam: Huh, well, where is faith? I will, uh, apologize to her myself.

Sharon: She is in michigan. I think she just needed a break from all the excitement.

Adam: And you’re okay being alone here after everything that happened?

Sharon: Who’s alone? I have friends stopping by my house late at night. Mariah and tessa are just the stone’s throw away, and nick, you know him, he practically, moved in. But, um, faith is safe, and that’s what matters.

Adam: Yeah, well, I’m just lucky you bounced back so quickly.

Sharon: I didn’t let cameron break me when he was alive and I’m sure not gonna let him do it now that he’s finally dead.

Adam: It’s easier to process it all if you get some distance from him. You know, the killing. I know what it’s like.

Sharon: I don’t need any distance. I did what was necessary to keep my daughter safe and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Somedays, I cover up because of my moderate 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 (michael) copd is harder on the folks around you, I think.

Michael: You’re conveniently forgetting the fact that you, uh… faked your own death and tried to pin it on diane. Making you officially no better than miss diane jenkins, soon to be abbott.

Phyllis: Michael, take that back, please. Really?

Michael: I will not. We thought you were dead. We were devastated.

Phyllis: At least, I know how people think about me.

Michael: There are easier ways to find out.

Phyllis: Yeah? Maybe I should have asked people. Well, people were calling me names and treating me like garbage. You love me, michael?

Michael: Now? Not so much. No. And barging in on a romantic evening doesn’t even come close to making the top of my list of grievances.

Phyllis: Wow. Have you ever wondered what I’m going through?

Michael: Yeah. I’ve heard. It’s been on all the police radios. You killed a man.

Phyllis: He was about to kill me. So yes, I killed him. And everybody presumed I was dead, so nobody would be looking for me, right? It’d be done. I was terrified.

Michael: Understandably.

Phyllis: Mm-hmm. And I fought for my life. And I tried to survive and I did. And I didn’t just do it for me, I did it for all of us and everybody who loves me. And I don’t feel bad about it because that man was garbage. Okay? So we could talk about all the grievances you have and you can itemize the criticisms you have of me, or we could talk about how you’re gonna help me before your wife walks through that door.

Michael: I’m not sure I know… how you think I can help you.

Phyllis: Well, you’re a lawyer. I committed crimes. So what do you think I need, michael?

Michael: Hm, a shoulder to cry on? An airline ticket to a country without extradition.

Phyllis: I’m not gonna run anymore.

Michael: You should have thought of that before you reached for the scissors.

Phyllis: Okay, wait a second. Let’s be honest here. Can you tell me something truthfully as a friend?

Michael: Oh, truthfully? Truthfully? Is that what friends do for one another?

Phyllis: Did I lose you to diane? Honestly, are you going to choose diane over me?

Summer: I lied to my husband. I knew that my mom was alive when everybody else thought she was dead. And now, I’m pretty sure that I’m dead to him. There was a moment when I could have come forward and said that diane was innocent. I could have proven it. Okay, there were– there were a few moments that I could have done that, but I didn’T. I– I kept up the charade and I let her sit in jail. Another thing. I– I was the one that my mom reached out to after her memorial service. It wasn’T… daniel, I– it was me.

Chance: Any idea why?

Summer: Because she knew I’d help her no questions asked. Because I’m just as deceitful as she is. You’re not surprised.

Chance: Blame it on my day job. Takes a lot to surprise me these days.

Summer: You know, this is the part where, as a friend, you might say something like… “you’re not a bad person, summer. Everyone makes mistakes.”

Chance: No, I think I’d say something along the lines of, “it’s been very clear now how far you’re willing to go to protect your mother.”

Summer: How much trouble am I in?

Sharon: So, how are you? Is it too soon to talk about the baby? That’s a hurt that never really goes away.

Adam: Hmm. Well, it’s good to know I have so much to look forward to.

Sharon: Trying to push those feelings down doesn’t work either.

[ Adan sighing ]

Adam: Well, it’s doing wonders for you, sharon. Two can play that game.

Sharon: Losing this baby, and then, losing sally all over again, that’s breaking you. You’re having a hard time focusing. You’re not eating and you definitely haven’t slept, am I close?

Adam: Well, it’s my, uh, survival mechanism.

Sharon: Avoidance?

Adam: Whatever works.

Sharon: Look… if you don’t wanna be honest with yourself about what this loss is doing to you, that’s fine. But what about sally?

Adam: I– she has nick.

Sharon: That’s different. You and sally, you need each other, as challenging and awkward as that may seem right now, you two lost so much together. You need to talk about what losing this little girl means to you. How you want to celebrate her or memorialize her. You know, just talk about it. Cry with her.

Adam: I– I can’T.

Sharon: Not even for sally? Isn’t she the woman that you would do anything for? I’m not saying that it’s gonna be easy or that it will happen overnight, but… you need to find a way to forgive yourself.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: And how am I supposed to do that?

Nick: If you don’t get these feelings out, they’re just gonna fester.

Sally: Believe me, you do not wanna see this level of anger.

Nick: I can handle it. Have you met my dad?

Sally: Look, I’m gonna take this mask off and trust me, you’re gonna see what’s underneath it and you’re never gonna wanna see me again.

Nick: You can let go with me. I’ve got you. Pretend I’m someone else then. Disposable. I’m teflon. Pretend I’m adam. The doctors, the universe, whatever, just get it out.

Sally: Look, if I start screaming, I’m not gonna stop. And I’m so scared that this is gonna be my world from now on. Just remembering what could have been, and… that I’m never gonna be that happy again.

Nick: Well, I’m here, sally. I’m yours.

Sally: [ Sighing ] Thank you.

Nick: But you don’t need anyone, right? I mean, not really. You’re tough. You can take it.

Sally: God, but I don’t want to have to take it! Everyone that I’ve ever loved has left me. And I finally wasn’t gonna be alone anymore. Ava was gonna be my world. How do you just get over losing someone like that?

Nick: But you’re resilient. They say–

Sally: Okay, well, they’re– they’re idiots, okay? Ava was my everything. And now, I have to spend the rest of my life trying to forget ’cause that is the only way I see myself getting through this. Forget about the doctors who told me that I was gonna be okay because I want them dead. And adam, who made the decision to let our baby die instead of me and leaving me to live with this pain for the rest of my life? How am I ever gonna be able to forgive him for that? God, and if I hadn’t been so stressed out, then maybe– maybe, she would have had more time. Oh, and trying to forget that I was stressed because of you. Where the hell were you, nick? Keeping me in the dark, leaving me to think the worst and not answering your phone? I mean, you were supposed to make everything okay. You were the one person I could count on. And I get it. I do. I really do. Your family needed you. But what about me? Where were you when I needed you?

[ Sally sobbing, sniffling ]

Nick: It’s okay. It’s okay.

[ Sally sobbing ] (Man) what if my type 2 diabetes takes over?

Adam: I appreciate you trying to help sharon, but everything between sally and me is– it’s over. She hates me.

Sharon: Well, when she first learned she lost the baby, sure.

Adam: I– I went back to see her today and I poured my heart out, uh, hoping to make her understand why I did what I did.

Sharon: How’d that go?

Adam: Um, I’m the loser in the blame game. So, as far as my demons go, let ’em be. I could use the company. Sally and I are going on our separate ways. It just wasn’t in the stars.

Sharon: You two were split when this baby was conceived.

Adam: Yeah, that’s true.

Sharon: I just find it interesting that when the doctors gave you the choice between saving sally or the baby, you chose sally. Is that because you thought maybe, somewhere down the line–

Adam: I– I wasn’t thinking. I wanted them both. I wanted the baby and sally. I never wanted our baby to–

[ Adam sighing ] I made a– a choice with the information that I had. Sally could survive. She could have other children someday if that’s what she wanted.

Sharon: But those children wouldn’t be with you.

Adam: Yes, that is true. I know that. But like many have said, it’s not about me. Sally’s the only one that matters. So, now, life goes on. It’s just– it’s just not the life that I wanted. Look, I should get going, okay?

Sharon: Adam.

Adam: Oh, I, uh– good night, sharon.

Nick: I hope you know how sorry I am. The way everything turned out.

Sally: I know. Me, too.

[ Sally sniffling ]

Nick: Feel good to get all that out?

Sally: Kinda. Yeah. [ Scoffing ]

Nick: You sleepy?

Sally: How could you tell?

Nick: I know you. And I know you really want to get in that bed. You want some help?

Sally: I would love your help.

Nick: Come on. Easy. Easy, easy.

[ Sally groaning ] You want some company?

Sally: Please. Okay.

Nick: Easy. There we go.

Sally: You know, you don’t have to stay the night. I know you’ve had a rough couple of days too, so just– you can go home. I’m sure christian will wanna see his father in the morning.

Nick: I’m not going anywhere until you fall asleep. However long that takes.

[ Sally sighing ]

Chance: Christine wants to bring charges against you the same time we indict phyllis.

[ Summer laughing ]

Summer: Of course.

Chance: I’m sure it’s nothing personal.

Summer: You really said that with a straight face. My mom’s nemesis is in charge of our fate.

[ Chance sighing ]

Chance: You know, summer, i wish I had better news for you.

Summer: Do you have any news at all? I mean, has anybody seen my mom?

Chance: How am I supposed to answer that? As the lead detective or your friend?

Summer: Is there a middle ground in there somewhere?

Chance: There have been no sightings.

Summer: And even if there had been–

Chance: You would be the last to know.

Summer: Great.

Chance: You really don’t know where she is, do you?

Summer: If you do find her, you’re gonna prosecute her to the full extent of the law, right?

Chance: I have no choice.

Michael: You don’t think that I tried not to be her lawyer? I did everything I could to get out of it. Lauren even– don’t start me with that. That woman loves you.

Phyllis: I love her. I can’t wait to see her and all of my friends and hug them and show them how much I love them.

Michael: Hey, good luck with that.

Phyllis: What do you mean good luck with that? Don’t be negative. You probably can’t take my case, right? Because it’s conflict of interest.

Michael: Diane’s been cleared of a crime that never happened. So, yeah. I’m a free agent.

Phyllis: I need you, michael. I need you to take the case. I need the best and that’s you. You have to plead my case, please.

Michael: Well, summer did already offer me the opportunity and I have to say, I graciously accepted.

Phyllis: What? Why didn’t you say something? Why did you let me go on and on?

Michael: Maybe I just needed to get some anger out.

Phyllis: Summer asked you?

Michael: Yeah, she takes after you. She’s inherited that chaos agent gene. She’s impulsive and–

Phyllis: Fearless.

Michael: Fear– fear is good. Fear keeps us alive and out of court. Are you aware of how many laws summer has already broken because of you? Look, if she doesn’t watch her step, she’s headed for big trouble. Oh

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue.

Phyllis: Oh, my goodness. You make it sound like keeping secrets is illegal. Summer’s fine.

Michael: Oh, well, this next endeavor she’s planning is more serious than aiding and abetting a fugitive or even obstruction.

Phyllis: You’re gonna have to be more specific with me.

Michael: The emt that helped you fake your death, she wanted to bribe him to commit perjury to swear that he witnessed you killing stark in self-defense.

Phyllis: Full disclosure?

Michael: No, I shouldn’t be hearing this.

Phyllis: That is true.

[ Michael groaning ] It’s true. He did witness it. He witnessed everything. But getting in touch with him is my plan. Summer has nothing to do with it, really. So take it away from summer. It’s all me. It’s all me, michael. It’s not perjury.

Michael: And what? Incentive? Do you trust me?

Phyllis: With my life.

Michael: Then from now on, you let me come up with the plans. Stark was a bottom feeder. There’s gotta be more we can learn from that emt. He’s got another whole story. The coverup, the bodies in the morgue. Stark’s ease with death. The lengths he’d go through to put his hands on your money. Carson. Carson can testify to his darker tendencies. He can really strengthen your case.

Phyllis: And he saw it all. He did. He knows it all. He knows what I went through and what stark made me do.

Michael: Well, unfortunately, we haven’t been able to locate him. Not even with victor’s help.

Phyllis: Victor’s help? Victor wants to see me in prison, not help get me out of prison.

Michael: Summer asked him to do what he could to find carson. The man has a special place in his heart for that grandkid.

Phyllis: Yeah, I’m sure he does. He doesn’t for me. We hate each other. So let’s keep him out of it. I rely on you.

Michael: You know… sometimes, if we want people to surprise us and we give them a chance, they usually do.

Phyllis: Yeah. And sometimes they surprise us with something good.

Michael: So, let’s change the world so you can come home.

Phyllis: Will you represent me?

Michael: Will you turn yourself in?

[ Phone ringing ]

Nick: I was just thinking about you.

Sharon: I was just calling to say that you can take me off of your list of people to worry about tonight.

Nick: Ah, it doesn’t work like that. Once you’re on the list, it’s a forever kinda thing.

Sharon: Who’s looking after you?

Nick: What is this? You looking for someone to hang out with and you’re just too brave to ask?

Sharon: No, I’m fine. Actually, adam just stopped by to see how I was doing.

Nick: All right. Uh, well, I could, uh, I could come over if you want. I mean, it’s not like I have a job to get to in the morning.

Sharon: What’s happening at newman?

Nick: I was forced into a temporary leave of absence. It seems my personal issues are no longer compatible with the company’s health, so.

Sharon: Well, that’s not the worst thing, you know. Take care of your health and, you know, give it some time. Let things get back into a normal healthy rhythm.

Nick: I’m a dangerous man with too much time on my hands.

Sharon: I have no doubt that you will find a productive way to spend your r&R.

Nick: Well, the only way I want to be productive is to work.

Sharon: Then find something.

Nick: All right, I’ll look into it. Thanks.

Sharon: Anytime.

Nick: Call me if you need me.

Sharon: I will.

Nick: Night. Tv: Try tide power pods with 85% more tide in every pod.

Adam: Thank you. You know, I– I really hope this isn’t becoming a thing. Us sharing a drink and our– our woes.

Nick: Well, one of us could leave.

Adam: Or you could just tell me how sally is doing.

Nick: How do you think, man? She’s– she’s spiky, you know. So it’s not a good time for her if you’re trying to come and make amends.

Adam: Nick, I live upstairs too.

Nick: Yeah. I’m just trying to figure out where your head’s at. You know, you kept showing up to the hospital when sally specifically asked you not to. Then you roll by sharon’s tonight.

Adam: Okay, what is wrong with seeing a friend who just fought her way through hell?

Nick: No, you went there to see if she could fix your life for you while she’s dealing with her own stuff. It’s typical.

Adam: Don’t you think it’s a little late to try to be everyone’s hero, nick? I wasn’t the only one who made a choice that night. You could’ve chosen to stay with sally, be the standup guy that she needed. I mean, you said that you love her, right?

Nick: I do love her. But–

Adam: But only when sharon doesn’t need you. I mean, you put me in charge of sally’s care while you were on your little side quest to bring down cameron. You got to be the hero and I’m the one who took all the blame.

[ Sally sighing ]

[ Sally sighing ]

Phyllis: I gotta make sure you got this.

Michael: Phyllis! Yes.

Phyllis: You know what? I already stayed too long.

Michael: No, you can’t keep going on like this. With no family, no friends, no one you can trust.

Phyllis: It’s really hard.

[ Phyllis laughing ] I don’t like being on the run.

Michael: Stay.

Phyllis: Make me an offer I can’t refuse.

Michael: You’ll be close to people who love you, who miss the heck out of you.

Phyllis: Missing all of you is all I think about. You gotta get me out of this, michael.

Michael: Okay. Okay. We’re gonna take all– all this messiness and put it behind you so you can get on with your life so you could be happy again. So you could walk down the streets of this town with your head held high. Carson, he’ll help. What do you say? With moderate to severe plaque psoriasis,

Nick: Nobody asked what happened that night. But, adam, honestly, I’m really glad 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– 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 outta that sewer 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– I just– I– I really wanna get this right for next time. And we both know there’s gonna 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 she needs to find some way to forgive you for something that was 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’ll respect that and stay away from her.

[ Adam sighing ]

Adam: Thanks for the advice.

[ Nick sighing ]

Chance: I feel like I said a lot of things you didn’t wanna hear and now you don’t wanna be friends anymore.

Summer: Yeah, well, it doesn’t matter. I told you once we get up from this table, the whole friend thing is dead.

Chance: It was fun while it lasted. So don’t worry. We’ll find your mom.

Summer: It’s your job after all.

Chance: You really think that’s the only reason I wanna find your mom? Hm? You know, until she comes back, you can’t move on. All this stuff between you and kyle and the rest of your family, it stays in limbo. But when she does come back, you can then focus on more important things like yourself, your life, what you want.

Summer: You’re right. You know what, you might have helped me after all. We need to find my mom.

Chance: Where the hell have you been? This is what I’ve been trying to do for the past month.

Summer: Okay, well, I’m gonna help you this time. We’re gonna help each other… ’cause that’s what friends do.

Phyllis: Michael, I– I can’t turn myself in yet. I can’t do it. Um… don’t hate me please.

Michael: Never.

Phyllis: All right. But this is a good talk, you know. I’m gonna weigh my options and take everything you said to me into account.

Michael: Yeah, well, don’t take too long. The clock is ticking.

Phyllis: All right. It was good chatting with you.

Michael: Come home.

Phyllis: Well, I will. One day. And what a grand day that’ll be, right?

Michael: Oh, I can’t wait. You know, I hate waiting. Phyllis… I’m gonna see you again, aren’t I?

Phyllis: Let’s make a deal. Work your magic… and I will come back with bells on.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

hoo!

[ Breathes deeply ] Ohh! Hoo! You should stretch. I will when I [Inhales sharply] Can breathe.

[ Breathes deeply ]

[ Sighs ] You really pushed yourself today. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it was a really good idea to go for that run. I’m glad you think so. All I could focus on was my next breath, that next stride. And for a shimmering moment, I just almost forgot that my father doesn’t know who I am. Sorry. Where’s trina? She’s getting us drinks. Still worried about drew? I’m not worried about him. I know that he can protect himself. But three years in pentonville? It’s just wrong. My mom’s trying to be brave about it. She told me to have fun today. But I can’t help but feel a little guilty about being here. I hear that. It’s hard when someone you love is going through something and you can’t help them. Grandmother, are you sure that I can’t drive you to the airport? That’s sweet of you, honey, but I have a driver, and I will be busy with mayoral business right up until I get there. Is that all you’re taking to chechnya? I used to travel quite a bit, and I got pretty good at packing light. I-I don’t want to sound too repetitive, but I do think that this trip is too risky. Spencer’s right. Besides, we need you here. I understand your concern, um, and I have arranged for some backup for the two of you, uh, while kevin and i are out of town. What kind of… backup? You’ll see. But I feel, uh, quite confident that the two of you will be able to come together and work out your relationship for ace’s sake. I made such a mess of things last night. I-I-I was so worried about him coming home that I just — I pushed him further away. None of us would have fared any better. I know I wouldn’T. You really think so? Ned thinks he’s eddie maine. Not one of us knows how to deal with that. We just hope that he comes to his senses soon. How long you been up? Hi. Uh, an hour or so. Yeah. You seen ned? Um, no, not yet. Should I go check on him? I mean, he has a brain injury. And isn’t it a bad sign if someone with a concussion wants to sleep a lot? Doctors say that rest is the best thing. So… so I called olivia to check in on what’s going on, and she — you know olivia — gave me the rundown. And maybe he’s going to wake up and, you know, remember his life. I don’t know. Yeah. Here’s hoping. Right? Right? Shh. Hey. Good morning. Can someone tell me what I’m doing here?

[ Door opens ] What are you doing? Oh, god. My god. Are you all right? Of course I’m all right. Why wouldn’t I be? Have a look for yourself. -That’s it? -Yeah.


Well, what it lacks in subtlety, it certainly makes up for in style. I guess that happened when I was asleep. You didn’t hear anything? No. There’s no sign of forced entry, so… didn’t set the alarm off. Must just be kids. You think this was kids? Yeah. Probably read the article in the newspaper and knew where I live. Just a prank. Where are you going? I’m going to get something to clean it off. I’ve given it some thought, and I’ve changed my mind on that. I can’t — I can’t get pilar fired. Nannies come and go, right? Mason is a very impatient man, and if he feels like we’re dragging our feet on this, he’s going to come up with some very creative ways to motivate us. Broken bones come to mind. Well, he’s not going to get any information at all if he incapacitates me. Who says it’s your bones he’s going to break? I’m sorry. I’m a little bit tired. Ace was up half the night. Yeah, he’d settle down, or seemed to, and then five minutes later, he would be crying again. And you both got up with him? Why not trade off? I see. Because neither one of you trusted the other to take care of ace. I need more coffee. Esme, we’ve talked about this. I know. You don’t have to do absolutely everything for ace. Look, I just understand what ace needs better than spencer does.

[ Sighs ] Well, good for you. Now, let spencer figure it out so you can get some sleep. Spencer is very good with ace. You’re not wrong. I think that if you could bend just a little, spencer would meet you halfway.

[ Knock on door ] And there she is. Morning! Hey! Good morning, beautiful, beautiful baby sister. Morning. Oh, nice greeting. How are you, huh? I’m good. Very good. Oh. Lucy. Hi. Wow, what a surprise. Come on in. Oh, thank you. Um, I hope this isn’t an imposition. Um, marty told me you were heading to russia today? And we’re here to see you off. I’m so glad that you’re here to help me through this. If there’s anything you need me to do, just ask. Well, you could come inside with me, grab some water. Desperately need to hydrate. Why are you shiny? It’s sweat. We went for a run. Someone chasing you? Ha ha. Funny. What is? Any news on dad? You don’t remember me, uh, bringing you here last night? Of course I do, but I didn’t get a good look around. So when I woke up this morning and saw that view, it was amazing, man.

[ Chuckles ] Really. Nice digs. Yeah. Maybe one day when I’m on tour, I’ll be able to stay in a place like this. I’m glad I can make you feel comfortable. Comfortable? It was luxurious. Really. Thank you for letting me crash here. Any time. Listen, olivia’s like family. Yeah. Yeah. About her. Don’t get me wrong. She seems, you know, like a nice lady. Oh, yeah, she is. But I had to get out of that club last night before I said something I regretted. I don’t know how to convince her that I can’t be who she wants me to be.


If mason lays one finger on avery, I’ll kill him. You refuse to accept how ruthless mason is. There’s no one who’s off-limits. All right, fine. Fine. Do you have an idea? How should we get rid of pilar? We tell sonny that she stole something.

[ Scoffs ] She wouldn’t do that. And he wouldn’t believe it. No. Something else.

[ Door opens ] Oh, good. You’re both here.

[ Door closes ] Unfortunately, so are you. All right, you called this meeting. Let’s get it started. Great idea. So, what you got for me? So how long is the flight to russia? Keep in mind, it — ho ho! Martin! Lucy! What brings port charles’ most vivacious couple by? Uh, well, your uncle marty here is the backup that I was telling you about. Uh, just, you know, here to help out while kevin and laura are away in russia, you know, where americans are advised to leave. Well, that’s fantastic. We could certainly use all the help we can get. How are you with changing diapers? I’ll be acting in a strictly advisory capacity in that regard, you know, someone to call in the middle of the night should trouble arise. Uh, yeah. Oh, and you know what? Um, you can count on me. I mean, although I’m not officially a member of the family, I’m a phone call away any time. Promise. That’s great. Martin, I am curious, uh, have you held a baby before? Spencer, don’t be rude. Martin happens to have many, many, many hidden talents. In fact, you may think he would know nothing about skin care, but he was instrumental in the conception of the new deception product. Oh, now, now, let’s not start. Thank you. Thank you, my little petal blossom. You were. But you were instru– I appreciate your unwarranted and unwavering support. Listen, I don’t see kevin. Where is my newly minted brother-in-law? He’s at the hospital wrapping a few things up. He will meet me at the airport. Ah, so that means you two really will be all by your lonesome. Does that, you know, caring for a baby bring you together? Um, we both love ace, and that is the most important thing. Right, spencer? That’s right. So, dex, how long have you been in port charles? Uh, a little over a year. Oh. So where were you before that? All over the place. I joined the army when I finished high school. I did a tour. When I got discharged, I bounced around, did a bunch of odd jobs, and then I, uh, ended up being the substitute manager at volonino’S. What? Joss never said that. Is that where you two met? Okay. Obviously not. Uh, I met joss when I was working… for sonny. There was a misunderstanding. Oh! No, no, there was no misunderstanding. Joss threatened to call the cops on me. I threatened to call the cops on sonny. Dex was collateral damage, so I changed my mind. Oh. [ Chuckles ] Lucky you. Oh, it wasn’t luck. It was joss. I asked her to cut me a break, and she did. As far as anyone knows, ned is still at sonny’S. Olivia went over there under the flimsy pretext of taking him some clothes. Is that really a good idea? Well, she also took him some dessert pasta, so one can only hope. I understand why olivia feels she has to do this, but I’m just concerned that she’S… going to overdo it? Push him too hard? Drive him farther away? What are the odds? Well, if you’re so worried, why didn’t you stop her? Because olivia is ned’s wife. She’s fighting for her husband. And if there’s a 1% chance that it’s going to work, who am I to stop her? Don’t you think you should get changed? I mean, even a business as slipshod as deception can’t think that that is appropriate office attire. I took the day off. Why would you do that? Because her father almost died and he doesn’t recognize her anymore. Give her a break. She needs it. Look, I am sorry, but I have to go. I have to work this afternoon. Oh, yeah. Because you got your police badge… detective shield. …Back. You must be so grateful that you got to go back to a job you love so much. I sure am. I don’t doubt it, because sometimes work is the best thing for us. Olivia! Come in! Good to see you.Yeah, it’s good to be seen. Keep it together, will you? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Ned: I’ll be in my room. Please — uh, please stay. Just a second. Um… I’m so sorry about what happened at the savoy last night. Yeah, I’m sorry, too. Um… I made you some, um, ricotta ravioli. It’s — you like it. I mean, at least you used to. Uh, it — it, uh, looks really — it looks delicious. Maybe we can have it for dinner? Uh, it’s — it’s actually — it’s a dessert or a — or a — a snack. Just whatever. Just eat it whenever. Uh, I’ll put it in the fridge for now. Okay? You sleep okay? I did. How about you? Not so much. Um, I — I brought you some clothes. Oh. Thank you. Uh, that’s very considerate. I’ll go change. Could you just give me five minutes? Please?


Bye, T. Bye! You two look happy. We are. And you’re okay with dex working for sonny? No, but I know the type of guy that dex really is. One who works for sonny. Yes. But there’s more to him. Yeah, okay. I get it. You see a side of dex that no one else sees. I see a side of spencer that he usually keeps hidden. Really? Anything specific? Okay. Before victor died, he falsified evidence that could put esme in prison. That’s what victor left spencer in his will. Oh, my god. That’s fantastic. Why hasn’t he used it? Because the evidence isn’t real. So? Esme really did commit those crimes. So what’s wrong with setting her up to make her pay for them? It’s only been like five minutes since you last threatened us. You can’t possibly expect results already. You’re sonny’s baby mama, but you can’t get him to talk. For the last time, sonny and I are not friends. Sonny and i have never been friends. You know what? We have a great plan. We just need a little bit of time to execute it. Have I not made it clear the information I need is time-sensitive? What information? Maybe if you told us what you were looking for, things might move a little faster. Anything on pikeman — shipping dates, cargo manifests, anything. So quit stalling. We are working just as quickly as we can. See, I don’t think you are. I know that two intelligent, capable people such as yourselves can do anything you put your minds to. Or maybe you just need a little more motivation.

[ Cellphone rings ] I have to take this.

[ Ringing continues ] What is up with her? Thank you again for coming to tracy with that. I’m so glad that there’s surveillance footage of my dad’s fall. Otherwise, it would be her word against drew’S. Actually, that’s not true. Someone else witnessed ned’s fall. So, um… well, here is, um… here’s, uh, us when we were renewing our wedding vows. And… here’s — here’s one of you. You’re singing at leo’s birthday party. And there’s thanksgiving. If it’s thanksgiving, why is there pizza? You really don’t remember, huh? There’s — there’s always pizza at a quartermaine thanksgiving. Mm. Look, I can see how happy everyone is in these photos, but they don’t mean anything to me. I’m sorry. Maybe just — here, just — just — just keep taking a look. Just look through it. Just pick a page, any page. Just…you never know. Maybe — maybe something will — something will ring a bell. Maybe s– something. Wait. That’s me? Russia? Chechnya? I know the situation is volatile there. Oh, well… okay? I do. But kevin’s going to be there. Oh. Valentin will be there. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, if kevin can’t make the russians feel better about themselves, I’m sure valentin could arrange for a-a group of mercenaries to exfiltrate you. Marty, you’re an optimist after all! What can I say? You bring out the hopeful… just do me a favor. Take care of yourself. I mean it, baby sister. Be careful. I will. You come home to us. Okay. Do you not think that the police should see this? I’m not calling the police, valentin. Why not? Because it’s — it’s a prank. It’s A…juvenile act of vandalism. This is not a prank. This is an attack. And for all we know, this is a — this is a-a warning shot. I think you’re overreacting. And I think you may be underreacting. So until you can face what is, I’m staying. Uh, no, you are going to russia with laura. No, I’m not. Yes, you are going. Listen, we have a situation. This is a threat literally on your doorstep. And I can handle it, thank you, on my own. Because if it’s kids, it’s nothing. It’s not nothing. And it’s not kids. Well, and if it isn’t, then I will handle that, too. But I’m telling you, kevin and laura cannot handle chechnya on their own. They need you there. All right? I love you. And I want to protect you. I love you. And I love that you want to protect me. And I like worrying about you, even if you don’t need me. I think I need you more than I want to need you. I’m listening. I need… your voice. I really like how you make even the most mundane things sound very sexy. Go on.

[ Chuckling ] Oh! I really like the way that you say, um, “breakfast is ready.” Breakfast is ready. I like that a lot. And then along comes a full english breakfast, like 10% larger than it really needs to be. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, darling.

[ Chuckles ] And I like your bad jokes. I’ve never told a bad joke in my life. Okay. Sure.

[ Smooches ] I just need you.

[ Sighs ] Because when I’m with you, I can breathe. I don’t have to watch my back because you’re watching it for me. And also, you — you kind of understand the pain of… past mistakes. Yeah, I do. Is that what this is? You want me to leave as atonement? Some sort of righteous self-punishment for your sins?


What is — are those supposed to be mine? They are yours. Don’t worry. You can keep that. There’s plenty more on nikolas’ body. Oh, come on. A few of my hairs on his jacket? That doesn’t mean anything. Hairs and dna. The cops know that you were the last person to see nikolas before he “disappeared,” so it won’t take them long to come to the right conclusion. You murdered nikolas. Okay, look, e-everybody here in this room, we all understand the stakes. So we’ll — we’ll get you something soon. Promise. I hope so, cuz. I really do.

[ Door closes ] You would really be okay with giving the police false evidence to put esme away? Trina, after everything that girl did to us, yeah, I would, in a heartbeat. So you’re saying the ends justify the means? No. I’m saying that, in this situation, sometimes the system needs a little help to get justice. And I think that spencer would feel the same way. He did. What did you say to esme? Same thing I’m going to say to you. Ace needs both of you. No, I s– I still think that my brother would be far better off if esme was not in the picture, grandmother. Well, you can think that all you want, spencer, but it’s not going to happen. Esme and ace are a package deal. It’s not too late. I mean it. Spencer… we can leave this box locked. We can walk out of here. I know my uncle victor, and there is no good that is going to come from opening this box, trina. Do you really not want to know what this box might be protecting your family from? Esme is not going to disappear, no matter how much you may want her to. Very interesting. When I came back last night — not going to deny it — I — I was looking for some righteous retribution. And then, um, laura and felicia and robert came round and did their best to bolster me up. And I did my best to be appropriately grateful and appropriately receptive, I think. In other words, you couldn’t get rid of them fast enough. I couldn’t get rid of them fast enough. And then when they’d gone, I was left alone with that newspaper and that brutal headline. And I started to think about my entire career, everything I’d ever done. Everything. The — the good… and the bad. And all the people that I love, the people that I saved, people I betrayed. And I realized that even with all of my past spread out across the newspapers, the world didn’t stop. Well, listen, I think you’ve worked hard to make up for the time you spent working for the dvx. You think so? I really wanted to try to balance the scales. You have. Thank you. And with people like you around to remind me of that, I think I’m going to be fine. And if those vandals come back with their spray cans, then I’m going to be here to show them exactly what I’m made of. Ned: I look good. Olivia: Yes, you do. What about the girl next to you? You remember her?

[ Sighs ] It’s on the tip of my tongue. Her name was lois. She’s our old friend from the neighborhood. She — she was actually your manager. Wow. No, I-I-I can’t place her. I guess the bump on my head is to blame.

[ Gasps ] I remember this guitar.

[ Laughing ] Yeah! The guitar?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Chuckling ] You don’t remember your wife or your family. You — you remember a guitar from the ’90s?! Hey, look, look, look, look. I don’t need to upset you any more than I already have, okay? I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Where — where are you going? I-I’m getting out of here. Okay? I need some air. I’m not a prisoner here, am I? No, of course not. Thank you. Uh, eddie? Eddie! You know, you’re the only one who calls me that. Yeah. It’s your name, isn’t it? Yeah. But no one here wants to believe that, except you. I hadn’t heard about another witness coming forward. She didn’T. “She” who? Nina reeves was there when ned fell. You could see her plain as day on the security footage. But if nina was there, why wouldn’t she say anything? I don’t know. But it’s weird, right? When am I ever anything but focused? Of course I know how important this is. Do you want to criticize? Why don’t you come here and do it yourself, okay? That’s what I thought. Let me remind you that we are partners. You are not my boss. Good. Now, leave it to me. I will get the information on the deceptor that we need. I promise you.


Drugs. Okay, so family connection or not, sonny wouldn’t like it if he thought that pilar was using drugs. We are not planting drugs on avery’s nanny! You need to stop saying that things aren’t going to work and come up with something that is going to work. Because if we don’t give mason something, we’re going to, oh, uh, what’s the word? There’s a thing that’s going to — die. Yes, that’s what’s going to happen. And then…

[ Cellphone beeps ] …What’s going to happen to your daughter? All right, f-fine, fine. I’ll do it. I’ll think of something, after I spend time with my daughter. This was, uh, clearly a bust, uh, which gave me a lot to think about. So, uh, I’m going to go. Are you sure? Oh, yeah. Ned — I’m not calling him eddie. Ned says he wants space. I’ll give him space.

[ Sniffles ] I just wish I wasn’t so terrified that he was going to skip town. If anyone had to come after me, I’m glad it was you. Oh, really? Yeah. You don’t pressure me like the other two. I’m really, really sorry that this is happening to you. But no one should force you to be someone that you’re not. You’re right. Which is why I’m thinking that… maybe it might be best for everyone if I just left town. Lucy? Hmm? Are we okay? Why ever would you ask me that? ‘Cause I’m getting the distinct impression that you’re upset about that discussion we had regarding marriage. Nope, no. No, no, no, no. I want to believe you. I do. But you’re not exactly acting like yourself. I could say exactly the same thing about you. What on earth — what? You shut me down when I — I was just extolling your virtues to spencer. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on. No, you — no, no. You shut me down. Darling, we talked about this, okay? Deception is your company. You can’t be out there saying that I helped you design the deceptor. Why not? And I didn’t even bring up the pillow talk. There was no bedroom mention. I was very — listen. Please. Just promise me that you won’t tell another soul that we even talked about the deceptor. Okay. If that’s what you want. Thank you. Did victor leave any kind of note that specifically said, “hey, this is the fake evidence that can get esme convicted”? No. So you don’t know for a fact that the evidence is fake. Not for a fact. Okay. Well, we got — we got to go tell spencer. Okay, we can’t do that. Spencer already destroyed the evidence. Really? What is that supposed to mean? Do you really think that you’re going to find my father? Spencer, all we know is that when your father was hiding out — uh, no. When he was pretending that he was dead for three years. He let the whole family believe it. Yes. That time. Uh, it was victor who gave him refuge at his house in — yes, he left my father the home in his will, the home in chechnya. Right. And I may or may not find your father there, but even if I don’t, I may find a clue as to where he is and what he’s up to. But do you really think that it’s worth all of that effort? Yes, spencer, he’s your father. Look, I know that esme manipulated me into trying to separate my father and ava, and I take full responsibility for the part that I played in that. Good. Now, that being said, my father has done some unforgivable things, and I don’t want to risk losing you on the off chance that he is in chechnya. You’re not going to lose me. Okay. And you know something? I think as you get older, you will see that there are few things that are truly unforgivable. People change if you let them. Don’t you two ever stop? Only when absolutely necessary.

[ Scoffs ] Let me know what you decide. I will. Be safe, okay? Okay. Now that he’s gone, don’t you think you should be — why? Why are you pushing so hard? What do you want from deception? And why is it more important to you than your own son? Olivia: Thank you. Sonny, I can’t tell you how much this means. Any time. Don’t give up, okay? Give up? Who are you talking to? Sonny, this is family. I’m going to fight like hell.

[ Cellphone chimes ] You take that. I’ll see myself out.

[ Sighs ] Well, that’s definitely something to… it’s okay. Don’t be scared. I’m leaving. Um… enjoy the ravioli. If you ever want to call me, uh, sonny has my number. That was brutal. Yeah. Um… I’m sure the more you see the quartermaines, the easier it’s going to get. But until then, every time you run into them, it’s going to — it’s going to be tough, because there’s a lot of them. This is why I love life on the road. It’s all about the music, being onstage, making people happy. I mean, that’s — that’s where I’m alive. Yeah. That sounds amazing. You know, I sometimes dream about running away, you know, being free. Well, as far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing keeping me here.


Don’t be long. The moment you’re away will be an eternity. Josslyn: I didn’t mean anything. I’m just a little surprised that he decided to destroy that evidence. Well, fasten your seatbelt, because not only did he destroy it, he agreed with me when I said that it would be wrong to use it. Wow. You must be a really good influence on him. Hey, it’s me. Meet me at the pool. I need your help. Something is up with martin. Aha! My driver is here. I really wish you weren’t leaving. Oh, sweetheart. I know you’re scared, but you’re going to be just fine, okay? Don’t be afraid to let people in. I’ll try. Good. All right, well, if you must be going, then I will walk you out. Okay. Um, actually, I think I can manage that suitcase on my own. Be safe, or else I’m coming to chechnya to find you. I love you. I love you, too. Be civil to esme. You can count on me. I hope I’ve convinced you to go and help laura. And, look, forgive me if I’m projecting, but I think that it’s important for you to do this. I think that you need to help her. I do. So then go, find nikolas, and then come back here and find me. Of course nothing is more important than your father. But as much as I hate to say it, there is nothing we can do for him right now. Yes, there is. We have to show him how much we love him, convince him he’s better off with his family. Olivia: I’m sorry, honey. It’s not going to work now. Your dad doesn’t think of us as family anymore. He thinks of us as, uh, strangers… just really pushy strangers. You didn’t have any luck with him? No. Nothing. I really thought that — that looking through some pictures, going through that album might — might trigger something, but, no, nothing, not even a glimmer. I-I just — I just made him feel worse. Okay, so now what? Because we’re not giving up on my dad, so… no, we’re not giving up on your dad. I am going to get my husband back. But [Sighs] We have to figure out a new tactic… just as soon as I figure out what that is. Okay. You heard her. He doesn’t want to see us. So…? I guess I’m going back to work. Sonny! What happened? Where’s ned? I am so sorry. I-I couldn’t stop him. Ned’s gone. What? Uh, I just wanted to say that, um, I’ve given it some thought, and I am willing to work together if you are. For ace. For ace.

[ Knock on door ] Dex: Boss, it’s dex. Come in. Ms. Jerome! Help! What? What is it, pilar? Where’s avery? Avery is gone. She disappeared.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

Hello boys. I’m back. How long is it gonna take you to get this place up and running after you provide the supplies? I’ll need no time at all if I don’t have to improvise with kitchen appliances this time. You’ll have top shelf equipment. I assure you there is one vital component of my project that’s missing.

It’s a subject you want me to work on? Patience, doctor, our friend, the Navy Seal will arrive very soon.

What do you want me to do? Cry. Plead for my life.

Truth is I’ve been expecting you, Michaels,

you specialize in gunning down the defense list. Just ask those people that you sent to a watery grave in the aja. So what are you waiting for? An engraved invitation.

Sorry I didn’t call first. Oh, Phil honey. That’s okay. You know, I’m always glad to see you. Do you have news? I do. I was just at the police station when a call came in. After that, Eli called Rafe and took off in a hurry. Oh, what was it called about? I’m thinking it was a lead. Something that’s gonna tie that nurse to what happened to my dad.

I don’t see anything. Yeah. Well, we gotta know for sure right now what we have is this guy’s word.

Charlie. I know that the visit with Theo was a little stressful, so why don’t we just sit and watch a little bit of body and soul. All right. But you’re gonna have to tell me who’s lying to who because it’s. It’s hard for me to keep up.

Okay. You know what to do when you get down to the dock, right? I should. I’ve gone over it like 50 times. Aleena. Aleena. Oh, uh, what? You didn’t hear me just now. You looked like you were a million miles away.

Did you get a good look at him before he went in the water? I, I, it all happened so fast. All right. Well do best to describe him, uh, my height, but older. Yeah, that could be a lot of guys. Like I said, it was fast. Yeah. Okay. Look, This is the guy that we’re looking for.

Gabe Carver.

Yeah, that was him.

Like Sands through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Just calm down, Megan. Nobody’s getting shot.

The only time I ever pulled the trigger on somebody, unarm is when you were messing with my head and I have to tell myself every single day that it wasn’t me, that it was you. And now your days of making people do whatever you want are over. You’re going somewhere. Somewhere. You’ll discover new levels of misery every.

Single day, I’m a guess Disney World. Joe, call you one. You won’t be laughing when you get there. May I know why you’re doing this. To stop the insanity to stop you from doing whatever you’re planning to bow or hope or Kate. Funny you should mention Kate, tell me what’s her role in this cute little stunt of yours.

So you and rave. Thanks for this. Okay. I am not gonna pressure you into sharing more than you’re comfortable with, but I saw your face when I guess that you and Rave were upstairs together, right? A few hours earlier where you were over there at that very table and you were sharing how you felt about him.

So, uh, Well, I also told you that there are certain rules in play to stop me from acting on those feelings. Mm-hmm. Well, rules are made to be broken, especially silly ones. Come on chair. You just don’t give up, do you? Never. All right. All right. Okay. So Ray came over to give me some really good news about my sister, which was a huge relief, obviously.

And you know, one thing led to another. And that’s all I’m gonna say. Well, I am very happy for both of you. I really am. Thank you. He’s a great guy and you are a great catch and I, I really hope it works out for you. Thank you. So where is he now? Oh, he had to go. He, yeah. Well, one of us needs to be out looking for him.

Trying to figure out what happened to him.

I’m not sure about this guy. He was a little nervous to me. Yeah. Well, why wouldn’t he be? I mean, seeing somebody fall into the river and then just disappear. Yeah. Well, I still want to dive team in forensics all over this. Look man, you make the call. I’m going in. What? No, you’re not going in Not without scuba equipment and dive team.

You’re not. This is Abe. I need to see for myself. E Eli, Eli.

I was just thinking how happy I am that your test results were so good. You know, you’re not only on the road to recovery, you are in the express lane. Oh look, the commercial’s almost over. You know, I, I don’t wanna watch that show. You don’t. No. You know, it’s such a, a beautiful day outside. When do we get outta here?

Let’s go to the park.

You. You wanna go out? Yeah. Why not? It’s a nice warm day. Oh, it’s not just warm, it’s actually hot. You just got outta the hospital. You’re nowhere near ready for that kind of exertion. Oh, come on now. You can drive us to the park and we’ll sit on the bench. Listen to the birds. I, I know I’m up to that. You were just telling me how, how, how great my, my test results were.

I know what I said, but No, no, no, no, no. No box. No box. Come on. He’ll me get dressed and then we’ll go out and see what I’ve been missing. Oh, so you think maybe it was someone who recognized your dad and Ray and Eli, they’re on their way of finding him and bringing him back maybe so. Oh, oh, wouldn’t that, wouldn’t that be Oh, Uhuh uh, no.

No. No, no, I’m not going there. Not yet. Uhuh. I’m not getting my hopes up. Just, just have ’em dashed again. No, I have done that this too many times already. Uh uh, uh, uh uh. I’m not going there. I’m not going there for yo No, don’t. More wishful thinking. Oh, no, I can’t do it. I can’t handle it. I can’t handle it.

I can’t handle it. Theo, come inside. Oh, I got you. It’s okay.

I can see how this is affecting you, and it’s not my place to tell you how to deal with it, but I can tell you what’s been working for me and what is that? I know what you mean about not getting your hopes up, but hope is all we have right now. And until somebody I trust tells me that I’m never gonna see my dad again.

I’m gonna believe that they’ll find him. My dad and I, we’ve been through bad things before. A couple years ago I got shot and I went into a coma. Nobody knew if I was gonna regain consciousness. Sweetheart, what? Kate told me that my dad never stopped believing that I was gonna come out of it.

Maybe I felt that maybe that’s why I pulled through, and maybe that’s exactly what Dad needs from us right now is to never lose hope.

I couldn’t say anything. The current could have carried him downstream. Yeah. Okay. If it was him. How about we wait for the divers? Divers next time? Okay. A man like Abe just doesn’t randomly hit his head and then just disappear, man. What the hell was he doing down here? All alone? Or how’d he get away from wherever it was that grabbed him?

Are you sure that the man you saw go in the water? Is the man in the picture? Uh, yeah. I, I guess maybe. What do you mean you guess? Listen to me. Abe is my wife’s father. All righty, Eila. He’s eila. Hey. Hey. Okay. Chill off. I’m, I’m sure, uh, as soon as I saw the picture, I, I knew. Okay. Hey, listen, we got all your information.

You don’t have to stick around. So don’t leave town. Okay. We’re gonna wanna speak to you again,

vla. All we have is that dude’s word. Okay. And the blood stain. Napes Hospital brace stain Forensics hasn’t even typed the blood yet. So we’ll follow up on evidence because that’s what we do, but we can’t get ourselves. We both know how this ends.

Okay? I’m outta here. You’re gonna expect a delivery soon. All you have to do is sign for it. I’m impressed with your preparation. But that doesn’t change the fact that twice you have promised to have Commander Michaels ready to do what must be done, and twice you have failed to produce him. I would hate to find that I’ve risk coming back here for nothing.

Your joy ride on Princess Gina Summer and wasn’t wasted. Doctor. This is being handled by Megan Damara herself. Did I say more?

You forget about Kate. I’m doing this alone. I wanna be the one to make sure you get what you deserve. I’m, I’m feeling properly threatened, I assure you, but I can’t help wondering. Why are you doing this now? What nudged you into it? And when I asked myself that question, I remember just how ruthless your friend Kate Roberts Brady has always been.

So let me guess. Kate wants me dead, but you held out for delivering me to my own private Siberia. Am I close? This conversation’s a waste of time and your boat is waiting. Well, you see, you should have listened to Kate. Your problem that you’re too much of a Boy Scout. You are only effective when I was giving you your marching orders,

Kate isn’t here Commander. It’s just you and me and Mr. Baretta in your right hand.

So I’m wondering what you would do if I were to suddenly turn and run for my life? Do you really have it in here to shoot me in the back?

I’m not gonna shoot you cause you’re not going anywhere except where I take you.

How you gonna spend all that time? All alone in the middle of nowhere.

Gosh, maybe you can take my mind off April while, why don’t you tell me about you and Raf. Well, I mean, there’s not much to tell. It’s still very new, obviously. Yeah, but you’re, you’re happy it happened, right? Do you have regrets, right? Oh, nope. None. We definitely wanna be together, but we have to keep it between us, you know, behind closed doors.

Well, I’m sure you’ll be able to manage that. Now comes the time when you should. Thank me for giving you such good advice. Thank you Kate. Your advice really was helpful and, and you know, I’m grateful to Eli too because he had a talk with Rave, apparently he picked up on the energy between us and he gave him some similar advice.

Oh, I gotta go, Ralph needs me down at the docks. Do you think that’s about it? He didn’t give me any details. Listen, Kate, you can’t tell anyone about rape and I, okay? My life is not an open book either, and believe me, I know how crucial it is to have someone you can trust, especially with your secret self.

It’s time to go. Don’t I get a teary goodbye with my old friend, Kate. Oh,

what? What is it? Just something they shoot at charging rhinos.

Oh darling, I know how impatient you are to feel better and those test results are great. Step in the right direction, but look at you. You can barely walk. Darling. You know you brought me home in the wheelchair, so why don’t we, why don’t we take that with us, then the exertion will be all yours. May I remind you that a man tried to kill you and unfortunately he is still out there on the loose.

I would feel so guilty if I put you in danger for even one moment. Spra day we’ll be in a public park. I, I am not going to live in fear. I’m not gonna be a prisoner in my own home. Oh, let me get the door darling.

Oh, Theo, I am so very happy to see you. Perhaps you can convince your father that it’s not time for him to go out yet. Actually, I think that’s a great idea. Come on, puffs. Let’s get you dressed.

Oh, I’m sorry if it sounded like I was preaching at you. You, you didn’t preach. You opened my eyes. I’ve been thinking about myself worrying if I could handle the stress and it’s Abe who suffering the most away from his loved ones. God know where likely scared out of his mind.

I’m gonna have to keep myself strong for him until he gets home. We both will. Okay. So now tell me more about this call that Eli and RAF got got.

Hi, is this Hi Dave? Yeah. Uh, 9 1 1. Caller said he saw guy who was wobbly put this pile on and then toppled into the water. There was blood stain on it and uh, we found Abe’s Hospital ID bracelet. Did you interview the witness? Yeah, I showed him a picture, said it was the eye he saw. Oh my God. So there’s still a chance that it might not be.

No, I hope so. Yeah. I’m not gonna tell Pauline about any of this. It’s all based on circumstantial evidence in one guy’s statement, if there’s a body in there, the divers will find it. One, the texts gave me a blood sample from the pylon. They want to do a DNA match with apes. They volunteered to be a bone marrow donor, so they probably still have his sample at the hospital.

I’m gonna take it over there right now. Okay. I’ll let ’em know you’re coming and it’s priority one.

It’s Paulino.

I gotta, let’s go to voicemail. I can’t let her know what’s going on. Not yet. I can’t. You did the right thing. She’ll only hear what you know now in panic. Yeah. When did the call come in? I hope it wasn’t when you and I were together. Well, I know what you’re thinking. Just stop. I get in here a little bit sooner, I wouldn’t to change anything.

We’re here now and we’ve got a job to do much as we’re dreading what we might find.

I’m sorry to be bothering you again, Rafe, but as soon as Theo told me you have a had a lead. I, I had to call. Uh, so, uh, please call me back if something happens. Even if it doesn’t seem so important, and just so you know, I am filled with hope that you are on the verge of him finding my Abraham and bringing him home to me where he belongs.

That I do. That was great.

A won’t be long. It’s just peeking out a shirt to wear. What the hell’s the matter with you? Didn’t you hear me tell you to back me up? Oh, I heard you loud and clear. Then why did you shoot off your big mouth? I’m trying to make people think that he’s dead. Don’t you forget that’s why I hired you. I did everything like you said, and so far it’s going exactly the way you wanted to.

Okay? The cops think that Abe fell off that pier and drowned, and they’re using the evidence that I planted to prove it. Wait a minute, what do you mean? So far, when I left, they were calling in divers and crime scene investigators and pouring everything they had into it. And you know what? When I signed onto this thing, uh, I thought I was taking on an acting job to help a sick man, but somehow it morphed into this whole.

Weird nightmare where I faked someone’s death and it just so happens to be the mayor of the damn town. And I’m the one on the line with the cops. And you know what I think that costs for? I think it costs for a raise a big one. I am just a nurse. I’ve already paid you everything I’ve got. Well, you better figure something out then, because if I don’t get the money that I want and I’m going straight to the police station, then I’m blowing your whole little world to Smith Rains.

It seems like you should have shuffled me off while you had the chance. This change is nothing

you keep telling yourself that. I suppose you are wondering how this happened, but don’t waste your waning energy trying to figure it out.

You had this little thing planted on my car, thought you had me right where you wanted me. The truth is, I had you the whole time.

They’re not gonna get away with this.

You didn’t put enough in you, al. He nearly killed me.

Come on. Michael says, you have had an update by now. It’s taking you so long.

What took you so long? He was just about to march me outta here at gunpoint. I had to get a roll, settled and answer questions. Doesn’t seem he has a lot of confidence in our ability to provide the subject. Oh, note to self. Next time hire a mad scientist who keeps his mouth shut.

Check his pockets.

Damn thing’s locked. Must have a special coat on it. What about facial recognition? His eyes are closed. Well then open his eyes.

Wow. Disable that feature for you. Next time you wanna use his phone, he’s not gonna be available. Right? It’s Kate seems she wants an update. I knew she was in on it. Well, forget about her for now. We’ve got work to do. Let’s get him outta here.

So you’re not just an actor, you’re a blackmailer now. I guess that makes me a double threat. I better go check on the ape. Oh. Oh. How’s your grandmother doing Better? Mm. Yeah. I’m so glad that I was able to get her the medication that she couldn’t afford. I’m sorry, Ms. King. God, I really am, but I’m afraid the cops are gonna try to pin this on me.

It’s probably not just them. By now. They must have called in the fbi. And you’re right. You are the one who broke all the laws. I did what you told me to. What are you talking about? I’m a nurse. I’m a respected member of the community who’s gonna believe you against me. You’re just a two bit actor, but the police have enough on you to send you away for a really long time.

Am well. Try to look on the bright side. Maybe there’s an inmate’s FI’s troop up there at Statesville.

Busy Helena. Think I should try again. No, no. I, okay. You’re right. You’re right, you’re right. No point. He will call when he knows something. Oh, I’m so glad you are here, Theo, darling. I’m glad I’m here too. It was driving me insane, being half a world away. We need to be going through this together. You got a real way about you.

Hm? You remind me so much of your father. When Abraham gets home, I am going to tell him what a, a wise and caring son he has raised. Then I’m gonna plant kisses all over that man.

Ooh,

damn. Stone a word from Eli.

I’m gonna call him. Hey, there he is. Hey man. What’s up? You were right. The hospital still had that blood sample of Abe, or if it was a match, the blood we found was his.

They’re sure. Yeah. Everything that God Jerry said was right. Ape’s gone. Oh.

Oh, I can’t believe this. Yeah, me neither. Look, I, I need to go tell Lonnie in person. There’s probably gonna be re reporters down there. This can hit the news. I look, I, I, I just need to tell her before she finds out I can’t, I can’t have her find out like that. Yeah, yeah. No. Um, yeah, you take off, man. I’ll handle it.

Ray. What about, um, Pauline and, and Theo? Somebody’s gotta tell them. I’ll tell her. I’ll tell her, man. You just dumb.

Take care. Okay buddy.

Wow.

Here we are. Time for our adventure. Uh, you know, I’ve been thinking pops and um, I think Paulina has a point. You changing your mind. But, but Theo, you were so set on giving your father what he wanted. Uh, I know, and like I said, I, I thought about what you said to Pops and then to me, and I realized you were right.

Uh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have agreed to taking you out, and there are so many good reasons for you to stay put right here. So it doesn’t matter that I really wanted to go out. Oh, darling, of course it matters. But that’s why I was really trying to get behind the idea. But Theo knows what’s best for you, and he’s your son.

And of course we care and oh my goodness, who knows what would happen if we got out there. I can’t. I, I, I can’t take it anymore. I’m going over to that police station and make somebody talk to me. Wait, I, I thought you were gonna wait until you get that call back from Reef. No, I can’t just, I can’t just sit here.

Not one more minute. Now you don’t worry. I’m gonna be filled with, with hope and all of that, but I, I need, I need to hear something. Where’s my purse went? Oh, oh, oh God. Oh, hey. I was just coming to see you. Didn’t you get my message? Yeah, yeah, I did. And what? You have news? What? What did you find that, um, can we come in?

No. No, you cannot. I, um, no. You didn’t come here for this? No, I will not have it. You, you did not come here for this. I will not have it. I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. We, um, we find, but we did find some remnant stuff. Who was there? There was a witness. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no.

Well, wow. Commander Michaels, I should have known, I could count on you.

A guest is waking up. I don’t think he likes his accommodations. What are you trying to do? Same thing that you were just about to do to me. You woke up very quickly. I’m impressed. I expected you to be down for at least a few more hours. New strong one commander. But I doubt that you’re strong enough to resist what a good doctor has in store.

You know? What does that mean? In just a few short moments, you’ll be back under my control. No, no. I should have seen this coming. I’m telling you. I’m warning you. This is not gonna work this time. Woo. Did you hear that doc? Our friend here doesn’t have any faith in your freelance.

Oh no. Don’t worry. I have enough faith for both of us.

No, now.

Transcript provided by Suzanne

Hope: I missed you so much. I– um, I hope it’s okay I– I stopped by beth’s school on the way back and just said hi really quickly. I just– I felt like I couldn’t get home fast enough to you and the kids.

Liam: Yeah. So, how was the trip? I mean, how– how was it? They don’t call rome the city of eternal love for nothing.

Hope: Liam, is… is everything okay? I just… you just seem like, um… is there something wrong?

[ Steffy sighs ]

[ Sighs ]

Liam: It was hope. She…

uh, she kissed him.

She…

kissed him.

[ Sighs ]

Steffy: Baby, I’m home.

[ Chuckles ]

Finn: Oh, my god. Hey.

[ Both chuckle ]

Steffy: Oh, god. I missed you.

Finn: Mm-mm. Not as much as I have missed you. Ah, please don’t leave me like that again.

Steffy: I’ll try not to.

[ Finn laughs ]

[ Birds chirping ]

Eric: The reviews for the preview were fantastic.

Brooke: The whole event was inspired.

R.J.: Yeah. We saw the footage of you and hope together. You looked great.

Donna: And you– you looked hot. I mean, hotter than normal– usual, you know.

Brooke: Wow. Thank you. I mean, it was fun to model again, especially because I was wearing one of my daughter’s designs. That made it even more special.

R.J.: Yeah. Hope and thomas must be stoked.

Eric: I’m sure. It’s really wonderful when all that hard work and dedication pays off.

Brooke: And perseverance and commitment and faith.

Donna: Uh-huh. Why do I get the feeling we’re not talking about hope for the future anymore?

Taylor: Wow. Well– well, this is a– a nice surprise. How was your trip?

Ridge: It was amazing. Not what I expected.

Taylor: Yeah? I– I bet it was hard to pull yourself away.

Ridge: It’s good to be back.

Taylor: I heard our son was a huge hit.

Ridge: Yes, he was. Uh, lots of orders. He was great.

Taylor: Yeah. That’s good stuff. Thomas deserves a win.

Ridge: And he got one.

Taylor: Yeah. Yeah. Good. Good. Uh, well, this is a– this is a really good time for our family.

Ridge: And I cherish our family. Always will. You know that.

Taylor: Yes. What is it, ridge?

Ridge: Something else happened in rome. Something you need to know about.

Eric: I think maybe you’re right, donna. The twinkle in your sister’s eye may be a dead giveaway.

Donna: Yeah. I– I– I think there’s more to this story than you’re telling us.

R.J.: You know, I– I think there’s only one person that can put a smile as big on my mom’s face, and I’m pretty sure it’s my dad.

Eric: So, what about that? Is R.J. Onto something here?

Donna: Rome worked its magic on you and ridge, didn’t it?

[ Brooke giggles ] Did it?

Brooke: Yes!

R.J.: It did?

Brooke: Ridge and i are back together.

R.J.: No way!

Brooke: Yes!

R.J.: What! Hey!

Donna: Oh, my god!

Brooke: My god.

Taylor: So, what are you saying, ridge?

Ridge: I’m saying the hope for the future preview is not the only thing that happened in italy.

Taylor: Right, no, I know– I know what you’re gonna say. You lost your passport. Or you’re back with brooke.

Steffy: It was incredible. We got everything we wanted for hope for the future, but nothing compares to this. Being home with you, wrapped up in your arms.

Finn: Yeah. All I could think about last night was you coming home today.

[ Steffy chuckling ] It made me so happy, I started– started hearing things.

Steffy: What things?

Finn: You don’t– you don’t hear that? Kinda sounds like, um… monaco.

[ Steffy gasps ]

[ Bells ringing ]

[ Both laughing ]

Steffy: You’re the sweetest. I love you so much.

Finn: I love you, too. So, come on, tell me everything.

Steffy: Oh, gosh. I don’t think you’re ready for this.

Finn: Something’s– something’s bothering you. What’s– what is it?

Steffy: Uh, yeah. Um… it has to do with hope and liam.

Hope: Is everything okay? You seem… I don’t know. Uh, did something happen when I was away, or– or the kids?

Liam: It’s not the kids. The kids are fine. Nothing out of the ordinary happened here. You’re the one who went on a big adventure. So, I’m just… I’m just saying, tell me about it. That’s all. Tell me everything you did in rome.

It’s the most wonderful

time of the year

Eric: Wow. Talk about a sign. Ridge must have been floored.

Donna: Seriously?

Brooke: Yeah. I– and I had no idea what was going on. I heard him yelling for me, and I turn around and there he is running at me. And he seemed very excited. He– he was just beaming. He had this big goofy smile on his face and– and he told me that he believes again.

Ridge: Will you be…

my logan forever?

Brooke: [ Laughs ] Yes.

Oh, my god. Yes!

Yes, of course.

I’m having a hard time believing that this is really happening, but it is. Ridge and I reunited at last.

[ Laughs ]

Ridge: I– I had no idea we were gonna reconnect. That was… it was all about the preview. But I saw my future in rome.

Taylor: With brooke.

Ridge: I have to give this one more chance. I have to.

Steffy: You know what? Hope and liam can wait. I just wanna be with my sexy husband.

Finn: I’m not gonna fight you on that. Mm, man, I missed you. I’m glad you’re home.

Steffy: Yeah. So, the event went well? There’s no issues? There’s that look again. You mentioned hope and liam. Look, I know liam went to rome.

Steffy: You do?

Finn: Yeah, R.J. And i convinced him. Liam wanted to surprise hope.

Steffy: Yeah, liam’s the one who ended up being surprised.

Liam: I wanna hear about it. I wanna hear about rome. So, tell me. Tell me… everything.

Hope: Okay. Uh, well…

[ Clears throat ] …The, uh, press event and the preview were– were amazing. They– everyone loved, and I mean loved, the designs, so…

Liam: Cool. S– sounds like… thomas came through for you in a big way. You still riding that high? The virus that causes shingles is sleeping…

Donna: I am so happy for you and ridge.

Eric: If two people were ever meant to be together, aside from donna and me, of course–

Donna: Of course.

Eric: — It’s you and ridge.

R.J.: Uh, you know me, I don’t like inserting myself into my parents’ love lives, but I– I am very happy for you, mom.

Brooke: Aw, thanks, honey. Oh.

R.J.: I am, uh–

Brooke: So sweet.

R.J.: I am a little worried about how the news is gonna affect steffy and thomas. I don’t think they’re gonna take it well at all. Kinda leaves their mom on the outside looking in. Right?

Taylor: Okay. So– so, one more last chance with brooke.

Ridge: It– it may seem like we’ve been here before, but this is different.

Taylor: Yeah? Uh… how?

Ridge: I don’t know. I– I’m– I’m older and– and we’re wiser and…

[ Taylor chuckles softly ] Nothing’s ever gonna come between us ever again.

Taylor: Okay. Don’t jinx yourself with “ever again,” because that’s the perfect way to make sure that it happens again. And it’s coming. Getting back with brooke means setting yourself up for more heartache.

Finn: I don’t understand. So, did liam not get to the preview on time?

Steffy: No, he just missed it.

Finn: Oh, that’s a bummer. He must have been disappointed to miss her big moment.

Steffy: Oh, he was more than disappointed. I– I told him that hope went out to go sightseeing after the preview, and he took off. He went towards the colosseum. And, uh–

Finn: Well, that makes sense. I mean, that’s like the number one sight to see when you’re in rome. So, hope must have been blown away when she saw liam.

Steffy: She didn’t see liam.

Finn: How come?

Steffy: He came home. He came back to la.

Finn: Wait, well, th– that doesn’t make any sense. Why would liam do that?

Liam: Well, it sounds like you got… everything you wanted from this trip.

Hope: I know. Hubris. Right?

[ Chuckles ] But, um… it really was a success. I mean, like I said, the press, they were enthusiastic and supportive and they really did welcome us like family. And those dresses, I mean, they were– they were breathtaking and…

Liam: Breathtaking, huh?

Hope: They were. And to be able to wear those with rome as the backdrop, I just… I just wish that you could have been there to see it. Um, the piazza where we held the event–

Liam: Yeah. No. It sounds like a really incredible moment for you and thomas.

Hope: Yeah. It– it was.

Liam: Almost… I don’t know, uh… romantic. For copd, ask your doctor about breztri.

Brooke: Actually, I was pleasantly surprised. Thomas and steffy took the news quite well.

Donna: Really?

Brooke: Mm-hmm. They just want their dad to be happy. And if that’s with me, then they’ll respect it.

R.J.: Well, I mean, that’s a nice thing to say, but they must be disappointed for their mom on some level, right?

Eric: I do have to wonder how taylor’s gonna take this news.

Brooke: Yeah. I wonder, too. Ridge is telling her right now.

Ridge: You have every right to be cynical about brooke. I mean, you– you’ve been on this ride for a very long time.

Taylor: Ah, the old marriage go-round. Yeah. Not the happiest ride. But my happiness isn’t dependent on any man. Not even you, ridge forrester.

Ridge: I know that.

Taylor: I know you know. And I do love you. Always and forever and… and I miss you. But I’ll be okay. You don’t think that you’re setting yourself up to get hurt again?

Ridge: No, I– no. Not this time. I– I saw my future very clearly.

Taylor: Yeah, well, you see things clearly until you don’T. That’s– that’s what you do. Sorry. Okay. Fine. I– I’m sure that you and brooke are going to be very happy together until she betrays all the trust that you’ve put in her. And she will. Brooke logan will always be brooke logan.

Finn: Okay. Let me get this straight. Liam flew all the way to rome to surprise hope, saw her, didn’t speak to her, but then just turned around and flew home?

Steffy: Yeah.

Finn: And this mood that you’re in, this weight that I’m feeling from you has something to do with liam and hope. And I know lately you have been suspicious of something developing between hope and thomas. Are you telling me that… were you right? Something happened between your brother and liam’s wife over there?

Steffy: Yeah. And liam saw it with his own eyes.

[ Finn sighs ]

Liam: All those long nights… working with thomas… they finally… paid off. And that must feel… really good.

Hope: It does.

Liam: And to have that success play out in rome, it’s– like I said, it’S… romantic.

Hope: Well, it would’ve been romantic if you had been there, but you weren’t–

Liam: Yeah, well, you didn’t invite me until the last minute, which I completely understand, because it was a business trip. Strictly business. Right?

Hope: Yeah, but I’m home now… with you, with the kids, which is where I want to be, my most favorite place in the world. And I– I missed you. I missed all of you.

Liam: You did?

Hope: Of course. Liam, what’s really going on? Because I… is that– is that your luggage?

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: Oh. So, you’re– you’re going on a business trip now. Okay. Um… the tag says rome to lax. So, I, um– I’m not really– I’m not understanding. Were you in italy?

Liam: Yeah.

Hope: [ Chuckles ] So, you… why were you in italy?

Ashley: My sister meant well. But traci, she’s so sweet. She just wants jack and I to lay down our swords. But from what I can tell, it’s not working. Not even a little bit.

Tucker: So, it had no impact on you at all? Doesn’t expending all this energy on hatred just wear you out?

Ashley: What is wrong with everybody? Why can’t you see that what I’m doing isn’t because of my hatred for diane? It’s because of love for my family and my brother. I don’t get it.

Jack: Hey, I got your text. Came as soon as I could. What’s up?

Diane: Well, thanks for rushing over, but I’m afraid it might be too late.

Jack: Why? What happened?

Diane: Well, I tried to bridge the gap between kyle and summer, but the whole thing might have backfired. It just went horribly wrong and now I– I’m afraid I’ve made things even worse.

Summer: Kyle. Kyle! Can you please stop? Wait a second. Look, it’s fine if you’re pissed off and you want to storm out of society and it’s fine if you hate me right now, but please, can you just stop with this evasion and silent treatment and talk to me?

Kyle: I don’t want to discuss this right now.

Summer: Okay, then when? When are you gonna want to discuss this? Because if you’re– you’re really that angry that you– you don’t feel like you can move past this at all, then you need to step up and say so.

Abby: Yep.

[ Knock on door ] Um, I’ll get it.

Devon: You sure?

Abby: Yep. Got it.

Chance: Hey.

Abby: Oh.

Chance: I’m sorry to do this to you. I, uh, I know I’m supposed to have him for a few more days, but I just got called into a new case. Louise has the flu, so… all that’s kind of blown up my plan.

Abby: Um. Yeah. Yeah, no problem.

Chance: Yeah?

Abby: Yeah.

Chance: Thank you.

Abby: We always love having dominic at home.

Chance: Uh, yeah. Look, I’m– I’m kind of in a hurry, but there is something I’d like to talk to you about while I’m here. Uh, it’s about dominic and this whole situation. It’s just not really working out. Choosing a treatment for your chronic migraine –

Announcer: Additional sponsorship provided by…

Abby: Well, our boy knocked right out, so he must have had quite the day.

Chance: Yeah, never had a dull moment with him. That’s actually what I’d like to talk to you about.

Devon: Is something wrong with him?

Chance: No, no, everything’s fine. I just noticed that instead of enjoying the fact that he has two different places to live, I think it stresses him out. Every time we switch, he gets real fussy and uh, it’s kind of a struggle to calm him down. I won’t lie.

Abby: Oh, I– I didn’t realize.

Chance: Well, don’t get me wrong. It’s just when he first gets to my place. Once he has settled in and we’re having a good time, we got to pack his stuff up and come back here. So as much as we justify it to ourselves, I think the back and forth seems to be confusing him.

Abby: So, what are you suggesting? That we change our custody agreement?

Tucker: You have convinced yourself that you are saving jack from himself.

Ashley: Well, that’s exactly what I’m trying to do. I know that diane is a present danger, clear and present danger to our family’s company and the fact that jack doesn’t see that–

Tucker: Jack is a grown man! He doesn’t need protecting from anyone, by anyone. Least of all you.

Ashley: That’s kind of harsh, don’t you think? I mean a little–

Tucker: When did you become your brother’s keeper? If he wants to throw his life away with diane, that’s his problem. But if it causes chaos at jabot, so be it. That’s just how it goes.

Ashley: Oh, yeah, sure. Who cares, right? But it’s really easy for you to say that. It’s not your family. It’s not your father who built that company, tucker.

Tucker: Yeah, but your father’s company is now a yoke around your neck. You know, you’re just– I think you’re bigger and better than all of this pettiness. And it occurs to me that you have earned the right to call your own shots now. To build your own legacy.

Ashley: With you?

Tucker: Yes. You’re damn right. Yes with me.

Ashley: Okay.

Tucker: So what’s it gonna take to pull you across the finish line here, to… help you let go of this misguided need to protect jack and jabot.

Ashley: Our mother left us when we were just little kids. We’ve been protecting each other ever since.

Tucker: I understand, but it’s gone too far now. And it might be too late to save him anyway. I think what you need to concentrate on is purging yourself of this hatred for diane. And if you can do that, your whole world will be magnificent again.

Jack: How exactly did you make things worse for summer and kyle? What did you do?

Diane: Well, summer and I came here after leaving the family meeting earlier. She wanted my help convincing kyle to forgive her. And well, she made it very clear that if I did help her, it would go a long way towards me making amends for my part in things, which– which is important to me. And then kyle showed up…

Kyle: Excuse me, summer, but would you mind if I speak to my mother in private?

Diane: Uh, kyle, we can do that, but I think that maybe you should sit down and we should speak as a family first. You know, there are some things I need to tell you and, um, I’d like for summer to be part of that conversation as well.

Kyle: Look, mom, if this is about the problems between me and summer, I’d prefer you didn’t get involved.

Diane: It– it is, but not in the way that you think.

Kyle: Okay, in what way then?

Diane: Did you know that harrison has been crying himself to sleep the last three nights?

Kyle: What? How could that be? I’ve read to him until he’s fallen asleep every night.

Diane: Well, he wakes up about half an hour later and comes and finds his didi with tears in his eyes.

Summer: Tears, why?

Kyle: What’s he so upset about? Why didn’t he come to me?

Diane: He wouldn’t tell me what was going on at first, but then he finally asked what he was doing to make his mommy and daddy so upset.

Summer: Why didn’t you tell us that he was crying at night?

Kyle: Yeah, you should’ve come to us with this right away.

Diane: Well, I was afraid that you would think that I was interfering in your relationship. And plus I– I figured that the two of you would work things out soon, but it has been three nights in a row.

Jack: Wow. That is a lot for that kid to be carrying around.

Diane: Oh, yeah.

Jack: I hate that he blames himself for the chaos and upset that’s going on in our home. This is a lot for you to carry around. I mean, why didn’t you tell me?

Diane: Well, I– I– I didn’t tell you because it isn’t true. I told a little white lie trying to push kyle past his anger toward summer since she betrayed him. I was hoping that it would focus them both on what’s really important to them. Their family, their little boy.

Jack: It wasn’t true. Seriously?

Diane: Oh, no. It just kind of came to me and I went with it.

Jack: You lied to kyle. Again.

Chance: I am suggesting that we change the custody agreement slightly. Look, we all know that dominic loves the mansion. It was his first place that he lived. I would like for you to consider moving into the chancellor house. Devon, I’m sure your grandmother would love it. Abby, you could come back home and dominic could have all the space he could ever ask for to run, play and grow. I’m gonna take an apartment closer to the police station. I don’t need that big thing, okay? I don’t need to be rattling around all by myself in that big old mansion. I would much rather dominic have it. That way I can come visit whenever. And the chancellor home, you know, the first place that he lived, will be his permanent home.

Devon: Well, okay. Well, this is, uh, it’s not what I expected.

Chance: Yeah. Well, look, I, uh, I do have to run. I apologize. So, I’ll let you guys talk it over, but just know I still want to share custody. I still want to see him as much as I can, okay? Nothing’s changed and I understand this is a big move, so if you’re not up for it, I totally get it. I just wanted to put it out there for dominic’s sake. Talk to you soon.

Devon: Thanks.

Abby: Wow. Um, I was not expecting that at all, but I know chance is coming from a good place. But I mean, this is a huge decision for both of us. Is this even something that you would consider?

Ashley: You’re not wrong. It’s exhausting, having all this hatred towards diane, but I can’t just turn it on and off like a light switch, you know, not when she’s such a threat.

Tucker: Yeah. I’m sorry to tell you, but you’re not the only one who’s finding it exhausting. Diane seems to be occupying more space in your head than anyone else in your life right now. Wherever we go, diane seems to be with us. We might as well always ask for a table for three. We can’t have a conversation without it eventually steering back to diane. Diane this, diane that. Jack, jabot, jabot, jack, enough already.

Ashley: I apologize.

Tucker: Enough of jabot.

Ashley: I am so deeply sorry. It can’t always be about you. And maybe you’re missing the point here. I can’t just walk away from this company, tucker. It’s in my dna. It always will be a part of me.

Tucker: So, you’re always going to be miserable. You’re always going to be consumed by hatred and paranoia? All right, think about this. Let’s say you’re right. Let’s say your prediction about diane’s right and she brings jabot crashing down. You know what we do? We swoop in, we scoop it up, we fold it into our own company, which would make us stronger than ever. And you could rein over everything you see. Yeah?

Ashley: Well, I don’t want jack and traci and billy to think that I want to stab them in the back and destroy the family company. That’s not what I’m doing this for, you know that. I want to protect the company. I want to protect my father’s legacy. That’s what I mean when I say I’m doing this out of love and not hatred. Don’t you hear what I’m saying?

Tucker: Right, then let diane crash and burn on her own. That’s the best way to prove to jack what a threat she is anyway.

Diane: I’m not going to try to defend what I did other than to say my heart was in the right place. It was an innocent white lie. And you know what? Part of me is afraid that harrison might have picked up on the tension between his parents.

Jack: But you don’t know that. I mean, he hasn’t said that to you, has he?

Diane: No, no, I guess not. And I– I guess I took it too far. I just– I just wanted to rattle kyle into realizing what his anger towards summer could be costing his son.

Kyle: I had no idea this was impacting my son like this. I’ve had talks with him explaining that sometimes adults have arguments and it takes a little time for them to work through their problems, but I made it as clear as I possibly could that didn’t mean we love him any less.

Diane: Well, clearly it wasn’t enough. He’s– he’s suffering.

Summer: Kyle, this is even more of a reason for us to start trying to work things out between us. Harrison has been through so much in his life already. We owe him a sense of security now. Don’t you agree with that?

Kyle: Summer, are you sure you didn’t already know about harrison’s apparent upset?

Summer: No. How– how could I? I’ve been sleeping in the pool house. I go in and I say good night to him when you’re not around and then I go away.

Kyle: I’m still finding it odd that I’m only hearing about this now. Harrison has shown no signs of being upset or worried. He’s been the same happy-go-lucky guy. But if this is true, I am very concerned about my son and I will do everything I can to calm him down.

Diane: What do you mean? If this is true?

Kyle: Well, I’m just having a hard time understanding that he could have such a strong reaction that I wouldn’t have seen or sensed it. At least not to the level that kept him up at night. Something feels off here.

Diane: And then the whole thing just spiraled from there. And I– I had to admit that I might have exaggerated the situation.

Jack: I can imagine how that went down.

Diane: I was just hoping that kyle could realize that he needs to find a way to forgive his wife.

Jack: You do realize what you’ve done?

Diane: Yes, I know. And I know that it was a bit desperate. And I– and I know that I shouldn’t have used our grandson that way, but it wasn’t a total fabrication. I do think that harrison has picked up on the tension between his parents. He knows that there’s something going on.

Jack: But you tried to convince kyle it was a lot worse than that.

Diane: Yes, I know. And then after I confessed to him, he stormed out. But summer was right behind him.

Kyle: Honestly, I don’t know what I want. All I know is that this is hell for me.

Summer: Kyle, this is hell for me too. I believe what diane was saying earlier, that harrison is picking up on what’s going on. He knows that there’s a conflict between us and the question is how are we gonna fix it?

Kyle: I don’t know. Maybe what we need to do is take some time apart. Really apart while we try to figure this out.

Summer: What does that mean? Like a formal separation? (Wheezing)

Summer: Kyle, you can’t really mean that.

Kyle: I’m sorry. I– I can’t get beyond this betrayal. You kept this a secret from me for weeks. You lied repeatedly to my face and all I wanted to do was comfort you. I thought something was wrong with me, that I couldn’t do what you needed to help you feel better. How could you have been so cruel to me?

Summer: I know that I handled it badly. I know that I did. But kyle, I was caught between protecting my mom and–

Kyle: Destroying mine? Still, you could have come to me. Told me everything and we could have found a way to deal with it together, but instead, you opted to betray my trust and freeze me out.

Summer: Kind of like what you did when you worked with my grandpa behind my back. You know, I felt betrayed then too.

Kyle: Oh, no, no, no, this is completely different and you know, it. That wasn’t life or death, incarceration or freedom. You took my love and my sympathy and you threw it back in my face. You broke my heart. And the worst part is you didn’t trust me to help you through the trauma you were going through. The fact is you betrayed every bit of confidence I have in you. In us.

Summer: But we can get through this. I know that we can. I love you. And you love me… don’t you?

Kyle: You chose your mother over me. You were willing to let my mom suffer and maybe spend the rest of her life behind bars.

Summer: I would have never let it get that far. I promise you that.

Kyle: Well, we’ll never know for sure now, will we? No, I get the sense that this meeting at society was a clever little setup. Did you recruit my mother to help us bridge the gap? Was that stunt using harrison something the two of you cooked up?

Summer: I didn’t know what she was gonna do. But yes, I did tell diane that it would go a long way with me if she could help convince you to forgive me.

Kyle: Yeah. I thought so.

Summer: Kyle, I was desperate. You weren’t talking to me. I have never seen you that angry and I was– I was afraid for our marriage.

Kyle: And where did that lead, summer? Look at where we are now. You have made one bad choice after another. I… I think we need some time to process everything that’s happened. See what’s left. If anything.

Summer: Kyle, no, that’s too extreme. Do we really have to go that far? If we love each other, if you have ever loved me, then we should be able to work this out.

Kyle: I can’T. Not right now. I need time to think through things.

Summer: What does that mean? You want me to move out of the house completely?

Jack: Look, I’m– I’m not gonna lie. It upsets me that you used harrison to force kyle’s hand and I’m not surprised that this blew up in your face.

Diane: Well, I’m– I’m sorry. And I can see why you’re upset with me, but what am I supposed to do? I swear I was only trying to do something good, something to try to get them back together, and I– I feel like I need to try because I am partially to blame for their problems.

Jack: Wait, what are you saying? You are not to blame for what summer did.

Diane: No, but my feud with phyllis is at the center of this whole thing. Jeremy stark came back to town because of me and then he took advantage of phyllis’s intense hatred towards me.

Jack: You are no part of that scheme and summer went off the rails emotionally.

Diane: Well, yes, she did. But I– I think she was just grasping at any hope when she learned that her mother was alive. She had to do whatever she could to protect her, to– to try to clean up that mess and bring her back home safely.

Jack: That was your argument. Not using harrison.

Diane: I know. I’ve bungled this badly and I need to find kyle and try to fix it.

Ashley: Maybe you haven’t heard, but I’ve actually done something kind of like that. I went to paris with my patents and I created a very successful company. So how would this be different?

Tucker: Yes, yes, I recall that. This would be different in as much as you would not be alone. All right? And there’s no doubt you did a wonderful job in paris, which is why I know that together, we would be unstoppable.

Ashley: You really think so?

Tucker: I know so. And this time, you would not have the entire burden resting on your shoulders. I’d be right there with you. Think of how wonderful it would be to build something as a couple. Huh?

Ashley: That would be kinda awesome.

Tucker: Kinda awesome? It would be totally awesome. And we could do it right here in genoa city. Think about all the new products you could design. Oh, by the way, I’ve been spitballing names. You wanna hear my favorite? Simply ashley. Your name associated with beauty all over the world. People all over the world identifying with you, right? And then you and I become the power couple of the decade. You’re thinking about it. You’re seeing it in your mind’s eye, right? You’re gonna let jabot just pursue whatever goal it wants while you and I set the industry on fire.

Ashley: It would really hit jack right where he lives.

Tucker: Oh, god. Here we go again, jack, jack, I’m not proposing this as yet another means to get back at jack. I’m talking about taking this idea to its fruition, for us. And you’re either committed or you’re not. Are you in?

Ashley: Of course.

Tucker: Simone, if you please, a bottle of your finest champagne, for my business partner and me.

Ashley: Shh.

Devon: Honestly, the thought of dominic having one central place to call home is ideal. Because I’m sure it is rough for him to be carted back and forth between here and the chancellor mansion. But how would you feel being back in that house?

Abby: Well, there are a lot of things to consider. A lot of memories, both good and bad, and then there’s jill. I mean, that’s her landing spot when she comes to genoa city, and probably nina’s too. Even though she’s not here that often.

Devon: So would that be weird for you then? To be under the same roof as your ex-mother-in-law?

Abby: Whoo. Well, probably a little bit, especially after she told me exactly how she felt about me at the gala. Since I broke her son’s heart. I don’t know. What about you? This place is your home. Would you even consider giving it up? Even if it is the best thing for dominic?

Announcer: The young and the restless will continue. (Mom) america’s favorite strawberry yogurt.

Kyle: Living in the pool house is not much different than living in the main house. You still need to come in here on a regular basis.

Summer: That’s what you need a break from? You’re so angry at me that you want me as far away as possible? So what? You can decide if you want a divorce or not? You’re throwing me out because I was trying to protect my mom.

Kyle: No, you chose to protect your mom at the cost of honesty and the faith in me and our marriage.

Summer: What would you have done if the roles were reversed, kyle?

Kyle: My mother would never have stooped as low as phyllis. She never would have done what she did.

Summer: What are you talking about? Diane already did it. She faked her death. She abandoned you at a much younger age than me and daniel are now. Are you just forgetting that? How she walked out on you? Disappeared for years and how she was willing to let my grandma take the fall? You’re kidding yourself if you don’t believe how low your mom could stoop. What your mom did was no better than what my mom has done.

Kyle: I know you struggled with your feelings with my mother. That you believe she was guilty for phyllis’s death, but I really thought once you realized it was all a fake and phyllis was alive, you would see how wrong you were.

Summer: Yes, I was wrong about that, sure. But diane is guilty of so much more.

Kyle: And there it is. Your argument that you were just trying to protect phyllis no longer rings entirely true. Not when you’re still holding old grudges and punishing my mother for her lies.

Summer: You know, maybe you’re right. Maybe I should move out.

Jack: Summer, could I have a moment alone with my son?

Diane: Yeah, kyle. I would like to speak with you as well.

Summer: Fine.

Jack: Please tell me I didn’t just hear you ask summer to leave this house. Has it really gotten that out of hand?

Diane: Yeah. Look, you need to find some way to be able to forgive–

Kyle: Mom, I don’t want to hear your pleas for me and summer to work things out. Not when your meddling has already made things worse.

Devon: I gotta admit that leaving this penthouse wouldn’t be easy to do. ‘Cause there’s so much history here. You know, so many memories. I mean, I originally bought this place for hilary and I remember her initial reaction to it wasn’t what I expected. You said you wanted a real home, I thought that you’d be happy.

Hilary: First of all, this isn’t a real home. This is one of your gifts designed to keep me in line.

Devon: That’s not true.

Hilary: And secondly, how could you make such a huge purchase without consulting me? What if I don’t like this part of town?

Devon: This is your favorite neighborhood.

Hilary: Okay. What if I wanted a house with a yard?

Devon: Is that what you want?

Hilary: Maybe I want a pool or a tennis court?

Devon: Oh, hey, you remember we own athletic club right down the street. Or I could build you a gym downstairs. I could put a garden on the roof here. I mean, what– what do you really want?

Hilary: I want a damn say, okay? This is our life, devon. You and me. Sometimes I feel like I am just along for the ride. To smile and say thank you while you whip out your checkbook.

Devon: Well, that’s just not how I want you to feel at all.

Hilary: Then include me in things, okay? You wanna surprise me with a watch? Okay, fine. Go ahead, knock yourself out. But come on, devon. A home?

Devon: I agree with you. I get your point and I apologize, okay? But for the record, I did not buy this place for your gratitude.

Hilary: Really? You didn’t think that this big surprise was gonna make us kiss and make up?

Devon: Hilary, I bought this place because I love you and I want you to be happy. That’s the truth. Now for two seconds, can you forget about how much of an ass I am and just take a look around and see if you actually like it? Please? I mean, there’s more than enough space here for us. And think of all the ways that we can make it our own.

Hilary: Yeah, it has potential.

Devon: Sweetheart. This is in no way me trying to tie you down, okay? If anything, it’s me taking a step back so you can be exactly whoever it is you want to be. As long as that person is my wife, my partner, and my best friend.

Hilary: Well, it’s gonna need some paint.

Devon: Gosh. Hamilton-winters was created here too. I have so many good memories with neil in this place. Then again, it’s– this is also where he passed away.

Abby: I can only imagine.

Devon: Yeah. But, uh, you and I have made quite a few memories here. Wouldn’t you say?

Abby: Yes.

Devon: Remember when you set up that dinner so we could try out the food before you opened up society?

Abby: Yes.

Devon: It was fun.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: And this is where we both realized that we’re in love with each other.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: It’s not gonna be easy to leave this place. It’s a lot to think about.

Abby: Yeah. I don’t think I’ll be able to make a quick decision. I just, um, I don’t know. I wonder why chance is wanting to leave the chancellor house.

Devon: Well, I mean, I imagine because it probably gets lonely being by himself in such a big place. His mom and jill are rarely there. Dominic only comes over occasionally. I get it.

Abby: Yeah.

Devon: Maybe what he’s suggesting makes sense for us.

Abby: It would be nice to bring dominic back to the house where he spent the beginning of his life.

Devon: Yeah. It’s definitely something to think about.

Abby: Yeah. Even when I was with the people I love,

[ Ashley laughing ]

Tucker: So, if we– if we call your line simply ashley, we still need a name for the corporation.

Ashley: Yeah.

Tucker: So, what do you think would really piss jack off? How about, uh, mccall-abbott industries?

Ashley: Oh, I don’t like that at all. No, it should be abbott-mccall industries.

Tucker: Of course.

Ashley: Right? Because it’s just, you know, rolls off the tongue easier. It’s a much nicer ring to it. You think?

Tucker: All right. How about something a little more expansive?

Ashley: Uh-huh?

Tucker: Mcabbott universal?

Ashley: Oh, yeah. Okay, we gonna serve fries with that?

Tucker: Well, whatever the name is, it’s gotta– it’s gotta send a clear message that we mean business.

Ashley: Right. Right. I think that, um, anything with universal and global in it is just maybe a bit too expansive.

Tucker: How about, um, tushley?

Ashley: Okay, you’re not gonna stop are you?

Tucker: No.

Ashley: Not until I say yes? It’s a lot of fun talking about this imaginary company that we own together, right? But um, I’d like to know how the inner machinations would actually operate.

Tucker: The inner machination?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: What do you want? An organizational flow chart or something?

Ashley: Yes.

Tucker: You want to know who reports to whom and when.

Ashley: Yes. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. I want to know the dynamic we’d have.

Tucker: Between you and me? Oh, well–

Ashley: Well, obviously.

Tucker: We would be equals in every way, of course.

Ashley: Uh-huh.

Tucker: We would play off each other’s strengths.

Ashley: Right.

Tucker: Your brilliance in the lab creating products that people will die for. And my, uh, my remarkable business acumen.

Ashley: Right. About that. I mean wasn’t it that remarkable business acumen that pretty much tanked mccall?

Tucker: Yes, I…

Ashley: Did I say that?

Tucker: Did you say that? I know I– I made a misstep but my only fault was taking my eye off the ball and with you as my partner, I promise I will never take my eye off anything when it comes to you and me. Business or private. And I know that uh, with you at my side, you would never allow that to happen anyway. Would you? Have I convinced you yet?

Diane: My whole life has been a series of two steps forward and one step back. I mean, how long will it take for me to finally pay my dues?

Jack: Okay. Listen to me. You gotta stop thinking like that. This is phyllis’s doing, not yours. She knocked the floor out from underneath all of us with this stunt of hers and we’re all scrambling to regain our footing. Summer and kyle, you and me.

Diane: Well, I didn’t help matters using our grandson to try to mend kyle and summer. It was– it was pretty stupid.

Jack: It was not the best choice, but it’s done. And to your credit, it wasn’t malicious. You meant to help. You were trying to help kyle. And he will realize that as soon as he sees things clearly.

Diane: Well, I hope so.

Jack: You have to remember everything kyle is doing and saying right now is colored by his anger at summer. And that goes all the way back to phyllis.

Diane: I bet phyllis is having a good laugh right about now. I mean, even though I’m not in jail for her murder, she’s still getting revenge on me. A revenge that keeps causing pain. You know, she’s staying away so that she can avoid facing the music, but I bet there’s another reason. She knows that it is tearing this family apart and she is loving that.

Audra: So we meet again. And unfortunately, you don’t look like you’re in any better state of mind since the last time we met. Should I keep walking? Look for another saloon to have a quiet drink?

Kyle: No. Stay. Let me buy you one. With the freestyle libre 2 system.

Tucker: Champagne.

Ashley: Here’s to new beginnings.

Jack: Will you make me a promise?

Diane: Sure.

Jack: Will you embrace the positive and just let the negative in our lives take care of itself? We’re about to get married in the next couple of months. You’re gonna come work with me at jabot. We have so much to look forward to.

Diane: Yeah. Are you sure about jabot? I mean, me being there working with you, it’s bound to bring up conflict with ashley and maybe even billy.

Jack: Do I look like I care about that? As a matter of fact, let me show you something. You know how I asked the pr department to put together a press release about your new position? Asked them to polish things up and I wanted to send it out. Go?

Diane: Go.

Jack: Go.

Diane: Aw.

Jack: If the family is upset about that, too bad. They have a problem with this, it’s their problem, not ours.

Diane: Yeah. Mm.

Chance: You look like you could use someone to talk to.

Audra: So, something is clearly bothering you. Feel like talking about whatever it is?

Kyle: That’s the last thing I wanna do. Today has been absolutely disastrous. Hell, this whole week has been absolutely disastrous. What I really need is to forget about everything going on in my life. Shut it out. Pretend none of it is happening.

Audra: Yeah, I know that feeling all too well. Been there and I’m happy to help. Salud.

Kyle: Salud.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

How about I just sit here and you show me… and then I’ll watch? Okay. Legs straight. Cross over. And then crack your back. Just stretch it out. Yeah, I’m not gonna do that. Looks like it hurts. Well, you have to do something. No, I’m not gonna do that. You’re not gonna warm up? I’m not. No — confession. I asked you to meet me here because I didn’t think you would be able to. I didn’t think you — you would be free this evening. Really? Hm. Well, the joke’s on you because while, yes, carly’s case has been infiltrating many of my evenings, she is not facing a prison sentence. So here we are. Warm up. Carly’s very lucky to have you as a lawyer. Yep. But carly’s not the reason I thought you wouldn’t be free. Well, then what is? I was assuming it was…

[Singsong voice] Robert. So, we’re all in agreement? Yeah, absolutely. I think we go in there and we persuade anna to join us at the savoy. She’s been cooped up for a long time at home. And, well, remember what valentin said. No matter what, don’t take no for an answer. Um, can you smell something burning?

[ Sniffs ]

[ Door opens ] Anna. What are you doing? Just burning my past. Hey. Are you — are you warming his bottle? Um, you know, now that it’s officially summer, I was thinking I’d just make popsicles out of his formula, so I’m freezing it. Please tell me you’re joking. Obviously. I guess since laura and kevin aren’t here, I’ll have to share my good news with you. You’ve decided to turn yourself in for your many crimes? I just got my first paycheck. Ohh! Spencer: Honest pay for honest work. How does it feel? It felt great. Until I saw the amount. I was hoping it would be more. Yeah. I’ve been there. You worked? Mm-hmm. At kelly’S. It is a shock at first, but you get used to it. Yeah, well, here’s hoping. So how is the job? Um, well, you know, ace is loving daycare, and everyone at the daycare adores ace. I mean, who wouldn’t? He’s adorable. No argument there. And the invader staff seems to hate me much less now that I am transferring calls to the right people — mostly. That’s great. What? I’m just not used to you being nice to me. Well, uh, you know, grandmother asked the two of us to get along, at least while she and kevin are away, so… y-yeah, well, I mean, that’s just it, isn’t it? I mean, laura’s the reason we’re managing to get along even this well. I mean, and — and now laura’s going to chechnya to track down ace’s father. I’m just afraid that this is all gonna fall apart.

[ Ace fussing ] Where’s ned? Brook lynn: Maybe they just took him for some tests. No, he’s gone. No. He has to still be here! He doesn’t know who he is, so he wouldn’t even know where to go, right?! Right? How’s carly handling this? Well, how do you think? She’s ready to go to war for drew. War with who? I mean, look. This — even if — if ned’s responsible, he doesn’t even know who he is. Yeah, that’s convenient for ned and the worst possible outcome for drew. Ava, I didn’t plan for this to happen, but now that it has, I mean… there is a tiny part of me that almost — almost — feels sorry for carly. What is she going to do without drew for three long years? I know. It’s just — I feel so awkward. A-ava. L-let me call you back, okay? Just the person I’ve been looking for.


Are you insane? Do you realize how rarely the wsb gives out commendations? Yes, but it’s useless now, isn’t it? No, it isn’T. But you didn’t burn this newspaper instead. Look. I’m so sorry. I don’t mean to be rude, but I really intended to spend the evening alone, okay? Or you could come along with us to the savoy and maybe have a good time? You haven’t been out of the house in days. How do you know that? We’ve been surveilling you. Valentin reached out to us. He’s worried about you. Well, that’s just because he feels guilty. You know, we’re not spending his last night in port charles together, so… he told us that you insisted that he spend his last night with charlotte before he left for chechnya with kevin and me. Yeah, okay, so, apparently this is coming as a shock to all of you, but I am not very good company right now. Anna. Look. I have been enlisted to get you to come along to this club tonight. Now, the basic idea was valentin’s, and you know how much I despise him. So why don’t you come along and endure it? If I can do it, you can do it. That sounds like a lovely invitation. Just come with us. I don’t want to! I want to stay here — with my thoughts and my fire, alright? And you’re fine, right? Yes. Really? Yes. Then… what are you doing reading trash like this? Every word of it is true. I was a double agent. And innocent people were hurt because of me. And I really think that it’s about time I dealt with that. I have not been seeing robert. You said “have not,” and not “haven’T.” And when you do that, something’s wrong. I just don’t wish to discuss it. That’s all. Alright. I’m not gonna meddle. I’m just gonna pry. What happened with robert? Absolutely nothing! He chose holly. Holly left town. And that, as they say, is that. So if he chose holly, why did she leave town? I have no idea. Well, did robert say that he chose holly? No. He just didn’t call and he didn’t write. Ergo, he was at home nursing a broken heart. And as you know, I am nobody’s rebound. And as you know, I don’t wait by the phone. Hell no, you don’T. Mm-hmm. You deserve better.

[ Chuckling ] Damn right. Okay. I’m exhausted. Let’s go. You didn’t do anything! That’s how I exercise. You didn’t exercise! Let’s go get something to eat. You can’t eat! You haven’t exercised! Well, wait for me! Watch me. Alright, alright, alright. Grandmother wouldn’t have left us here alone if she didn’t think that we could handle it, esme. I’ve been doing everything that I can to share in this responsibility with you. Yes, you have been really helpful. I’m just wondering, will your commitment be the same when laura’s not here? I mean, what happens when it’s just you, me, and ace?

[ Knock on door ] Here. Will you please take him? I’ll get that. No, no. I-I’ll get it. Don’t listen to her. I’m not going anywhere. I thought you were staying in tonight. Here’s ned’s wallet. There’s no cash. Do you know if he was carrying any? I-I don’t remember. I don’t know. Alright. I’m gonna go talk to the nurses. Ned would not have left G.H. Eddie maine, however, is foolish, immature, and thoughtless. You know what? You know what? That is still my husband that you’re talking about. Yeah, well, in the immortal words of eddie maine, “lady, I don’t know you.” Okay. Listen! If they didn’t take dad for tests, maybe he just went for a walk or is raiding the vending machines, okay? We don’t know that he left the hospital. Chase will find out for us. This is not a reason to panic. Give it time. You were looking for me? Yeah. Let me buy you a drink, and you can tell me all about this place. The savoy? Yeah. Well, like, what kind of talent do you bring in here? And how are the crowds? They’re good, depending on the band. I-I’m sorry. I just have to ask you. Aren’t you supposed to be in the hospital? Ohh. You think you know me, don’t you? Well… you don’T. But you will soon. You and anyone else with a lick of taste and an ear for good music. My name’s eddie. Eddie maine. Nina. Nina reeves. Pleased to meet you, eddie. Nice to meet you. Let’s get that drink… nina reeves. Michael: At the moment, he doesn’t even know who my mom and drew are or the fact that he turned them in to the sec for insider trading. I was a silent partner in l&b records when eddie maine was touring. Ned lived a double life, but he always knew who he really was. Yeah, and now he thinks he’s eddie. How sure are the doctors? You think he’s lying? I didn’t say that, but I need to see it for myself. Well, here’s your chance. Let the good times roll.


uh, fine. They printed the truth. But it’s all ancient history, and you’ve more than atoned for all of it. Have I, though? I-I feel as if I threw myself into work so I wouldn’t have to face the truth of what I did… and that if I ran fast enough or far enough, then my past wouldn’t catch up with me. Right? And now it has. Oh, anna, you’re not running from your mistakes. If anything, you’ve owned up to your past. Laura: Look at it this way. Think of all the times you put your life at risk to help others. Now, were you doing that because you wanted to atone or because that’s just who you are? Some people may never know, but the fact is those acts of heroism and — and all the good that you’ve done, that can’t be denied. Laura’s right. You’re still a hero. I’m also a traitor. And you’ve called me that. And I just don’t want to involve you all in this by association. You know what, robert? Why don’t you, uh, go ahead and get us a table at the savoy? That’s a good idea. We’ll meet you over there. I’ll see you out. Yeah. What ever happened to not taking no for an answer? Yeah, well, we still haven’T. Get us a good table. Not too close. Perhaps for drinks, too? Oh, of course. Yes. I know what this looks like. But I’m not wallowing. Alright? I’m not. I think you’re taking stock. Yeah, I think that’s what I’m doing. Thank you for understanding. Of course. But what I don’t understand is why you’re shutting us out. Ned: I’ve been away from port charles for a while, so I’m just trying to get my bearings. I’m trying to find all the happening spots in town. What’s going on? Nina: Hey, honey. T-this is eddie maine. And he was just asking about the music scene here in port charles. Eddie, this is my fiancé, sonny corinthos. Oh! Well, I must say, your fiancé is one lucky guy. Yeah, I am. I apologize if I overstepped. What do you mean? Don’t worry. You didn’T. How about you let me buy you a drink? You know, I was just wondering why you’re in a nightclub when you just got out of the hospital. Now, how’d you know about that? Oh. Right. Well, sonny, hospitals are for sick people. Uh-huh. And lucky for me, I’m not sick. Right, right. So why don’t you let me buy you a drink? Michael, my son. We were j– michael. Eddie. Hey. Nice to meet you. Likewise. We w ant to hear all about yourmusic stories and everything. Weren’t you gonna make that call for me? Yes. Yes. Thank you for reminding me. It’s a business thing. I’ll be right back. Right. Excuse me. Uh, so, what — what kind of music do you play?

[ Line ringing ]

[ Sighs ] Come on, olivia. Pick up.

[ Cellphone rings ]

[ Scoffs ] This is the last thing I need. It’s nina. I can’t even begin to think about the metro court right now.

[ Cellphone rings ] Oh, my god! Just stop! Okay. I spoke to one of the nurses, and… don’t panic, but ned checked himself out.

[ Gasps ] How could they let him do that? He signed a form saying he was leaving against medical advice. What name did he use? If he signed out as eddie maine, they should have put him in a straitjacket instead of letting him run free.

[ Cellphone rings ] Okay. It doesn’t matter how he got out of here. The fact is that he’s gone and we got to figure out where. Ned would not have left the hospital. Eddie maine is probably busking on a street corner somewhere. What? I just wish I could think you were wrong. Well, where do musicians hang out?! You guys keep brainstorming. I’m gonna call this in to the station, see if they can help track down ned. Okay. That was nina. Oh, my god. She’s calling you?! What is her problem?! She found dad. Where? Where is he? At the savoy. A nightclub. Why didn’t we think of that? We better go before he tries to break loose again. Come on. Let’s go. Well, can’t nina just keep him there? Well, how?!

We couldn’t! Am I in trouble? Did I forget something? No. You didn’t forget anything. Oh. Okay. But I know how busy you’ve been, and I thought maybe we can have a chill night in. And I-I even brought some snacks. Well, it’s so good to see you, snacks or no snacks, but… are you guys gonna watch a movie? W-we — we haven’t decided yet. Well, I mean, there’s a lot of movies and shows on streaming right now. Yeah. Y– there — yeah. You guys don’t mind if I join you, do you? Um…

[ Trina and spencer chuckle ] I’m just kidding. Okay. I am going to go feed ace and then give him a bath, and then it’s bedtime for both of us. Um, isn’t that right, little guy? Want to go to bed?

[ Cellphone beeping ] Oh, there’s that timer. Sorry. I’ll, um — I’ll grab that. Oh, no, no, no. You have company. I’ll do it. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

[ Sighs ] Wow. What? Just — it’s just a shock to the system to see you and esme together like this. Like what? Just… on the same side, like you used to be.


Right now I’m a front man without a band. Need to get one together. You got representation? No, not currently. I’m gonna put out some feelers, though. It’s been a while. Yeah. I know how that is. I’m sure — you know a few people in the music business, I’m sure, right, dad? Yeah. I don’t see why I can’t reach out. You’re not into music, are you? Uh, sure, yeah. Yeah. Really? Yeah. What was the last show that you went to? Uh, actually, phideaux. Right here on the stage. Phideaux. Never heard of him. Well, you should. But, then again, that was a long time ago. Since then, I’ve been kind of busy taking care of my family and running the business.

[ Chuckling ] Oh. Right. All business. You’re all business, aren’t — life is short. You got to live a little, kid. Right? Relax. How’d it go? Uh, great. Uh, the issue is headed to — to the press. Issue? I run a magazine. So, eddie, what do you think of the savoy? After some of the dives that I’ve played in, this place is a palace. And, look, you’re the mayor of port charles. You should not be seen with me. What if someone were to take our photo? I don’t care about that. Well, maybe you should. You know? You’re a politician. Yeah, you know, I didn’t get elected to office by trying to hide my past. And I am well aware of the complexity of yours. And I would be honored to have my picture taken with you. I would challenge anyone to compare the good you’ve done against the wrongs they’re writing. It’s no contest, anna. I appreciate that. And I knew, of course, that you wouldn’t turn your backs on me, no matter how much I want you to. But it isn’t about what other people think of me. This is what I think of me. And I had come to terms with my past and even the crimes that I was part of, you know? Because of my work as an agent, I felt that somehow I was balancing the scales. But now I’m no longer an agent, and I won’t ever be again, I realize that I’m not ready to let go of that part of my life. Because I feel like my work isn’t done. I invested in a small record company back in the ’90s. One of the co-owners was a friend of mine from the, you know, old neighborhood. Very ambitious. And she brought in two singers. One of them made it really big. Uh, I don’t know what he’s doing now. He’s just living the crazy life, I guess.

[ Cellphone chimes ] Oh. Uh, I am so sorry. I got another work call. Okay. You see? A beautiful woman like that, and she can’t even enjoy a night out. Take my advice, michael. Don’t let work consume you! Ned. Good to see you. Glad to see you out and about. I’m sure olivia’s delighted. Um, corinthos. A word? Hey, my friend. I’ll be right back, okay? Right. How can I help you? Well, I’m curious. Mm-hmm. Why does sonny corinthos need someone else to fight his battles for him? What battles are we talking about here? You’re gonna have to narrow it down. Okay. No problem. Well, actually, it is a problem… when you start using diane miller — diane miller? What are you talking about? Excuse me, district attorney. You’re not accusing my client of something without his attorney being present, are you? Esme and I are in no way on the same side. We’re just trying to make the best of a very, very messed-up situation right now. That’s fine. In fact… I’m glad your living situation is more…tolerable.

[ Chuckles ] Unfortunately, it means that you and i have less time to spend with one another, and for that, I am really sorry. I felt terrible when I had to leave curtis’ birthday party early.

[ Sighs ] What? Something happen?

[ Scoffs ] When is something ever not happening with my family? My family… which curtis is. Care to get more specific?

[ Exhales deeply ] Curtis and I were just starting to get closer and learn how to talk to one another… and he did something that really upset my mom. Do you want advice, or do you just need me to listen? I don’t think anybody can give me advice on this. Well, then, listening it is. Just an informal chat. Nothing official. I still don’t know what we’re chatting about, and at this point, I’m starting to lose interest. I don’t like the fact that you’re using diane miller to get confidential information from me.

[ Stammers ] Let me handle this. By all means. Where’s ned? He’s with sonny and michael. Alexis: Can’t take you anywhere. Where is he? Nina, where is ned? You said he was with sonny and michael. Well, he was. He was just here a second ago. What, you lost him?! Olivia, he can’t be far. We’re gonna find him. Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the savoy!

[ Cheers and applause ] Alright. So, I have some good news and, of course, some bad news. First, the bad news. Unfortunately, our opening act, caterwaul, got stuck in customs.

[ Patrons groan ]I know, I know. But the good news is, our headliner, the retrobates, will be out in just a few…minutes. Um, excuse me, sir. You can’t be up here. Well, if you need an opening act, I’m the man. How are ya? Poor charles! How’s everyone feeling tonight?

[ Applause ] Yeah! Port charles! How are we all feeling tonight?! Come on! Make some noise!

[ Cheers and applause ]


Okay. Everyone having a good time? Let’s get this party started! Ned! Come down from there! Oh, I don’t know that song, but here’s one you might recognize.

[ Guitar strums ] Ned!

[ Patrons gasp ] Ned! Ned! You’re okay. Whoa, whoa, whoa. I’m okay.

[ All murmuring ] I’m alright. I’m alright. Nina. Thank you so much. If you hadn’t called me, we would have never found him. I-I’m just glad I could help. Well, thank god he’s not halfway on his way to vegas by now. Ned’s gonna be fine. He’s sitting with michael. He’s gonna be okay, I think. Just needs some water. Look. I’m good, right? The crowd’s all warmed up. I need to get back out there. No, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey. Look. The crowd can wait. And so can you. Sonny, he won’t listen to me. He thinks he’s someone else. He thinks I’m a complete stranger! It’s that bad? Yes. He doesn’t remember anyone. He didn’t remember brook lynn or tracy. He denied leo to his face. I mean, my — my little boy was devastated. I’m sorry. What do you want me to do? He doesn’t trust me. He doesn’t trust anyone in his family. Because you want him to be somebody he doesn’t remember being. I was talking to him. He didn’t seem all that — wait, wait, wait. Y-y-you didn’t mention that you knew him before? Not yet. Is that right…?

[ Clears throat ] Sorry. I just came to grab ace’s binky. Did you give him his bottle? Yes. And you turned on the noise machine? Maybe he needs to be swaddled. No, he’s too old for that. I came here to grab a pacifier, not attend a forum on parenting strategies. If I need anything, I will call you, but don’t hold your breath. So sorry about that. What were you saying? No. It’s okay. No, it’s not okay. I don’t like the way that she just spoke to you.

[ Sighs ] She’s tired. And if someone who didn’t have kids gave me unsolicited parenting advice, I would also be a little upset. Oh, no. Now I’ve got you defending her, as well. I told you. It’s alright. Except for that — okay. Yeah. Alright. Fine. I just don’t like it. I don’t like this whole…situation. Yeah, neither do I. I don’t, either. But this is how it’s got to be for ace — for now. Until we can find a way to get rid of esme. Just in case. We just have to find real evidence, evidence that we can trust. And once we do that, esme will be out of our lives forever. What the hell was that about? I hate the fact that corinthos thinks he can use you to get to me. Use me? Like you and holly used me? Or is that different? My goodness. You think so little of me, don’t you? No. It’s because I have so much respect for you. Oh, do you, now? And I hate the fact that sonny uses you to do his bidding. Okay, well, let’s get very clear. For one thing, I don’t do anyone’s bidding. I protect my clients. Like sonny. You know who I work for! For heaven’s sakes! I needed some information, so, yes, I asked you for it. Did sonny corinthos also need that information? Well, that’s attorney/client privilege. How convenient. And accurate. Besides, what do you care? I care probably a whole lot more than you realize. As an agent, as a cop, right, I felt that I had a purpose, like I-I was where I belonged. And now I don’t have that anymore, I — I’ve been asking myself the question… you know, what now? I completely understand. Felicia: So do I. In our own way, we all have had to reinvent ourselves. Yeah. Have you talked to valentin about it? I did, but, you know, I don’t want to burden him because he’s leaving with you. Um, I could tell him to stay here with you. No. Don’t do that. Please. You need him. I mean, I know you’re very capable, but a U.S. Government official isn’t supposed to travel to chechnya. Valentin — he has a lot of contacts there, and… and he speaks the language. Yeah, I think you really need him. Well, to be honest, I was really surprised when he offered to go with me, and it actually meant a great deal to me, so… and right now I-I need all the help I can get. Good. That’s settled, then. I’m gonna come with you to chechnya.


You know how much I value our friendship. Our…relationship.

[ Chuckling ] We don’t have a relationship, robert. Last time I checked, we were simply two colleagues who occasionally find ourselves on opposite sides of a courtroom and, even rarer, on opposite sides of a dinner table. It doesn’t have to be like that. Would you be saying that if holly hadn’t left town? You are absolutely right. I can’t wait for that day. Sorry to interrupt again, but ace won’t go down for bed. What is that silly song you sing to him? It’s not a silly song, esme. You just don’t sing it right. Okay, well, why don’t you sing it to him and I will listen so I can try and learn it better? Or is it too much asking you to sing to your baby brother? You know what? You guys seem to have your hands full. I’m just — I’m gonna take off. No. Stay. Please. No. It’s okay. You go sing your silly song to your brother and put him to bed. Trina, I — I don’t want it to be like this. Neither do I. But it’s not gonna be like this forever. Right? And with her track record, we won’t have to wait for long. I can’t really imagine what this must be like for you. I know that you don’t remember me and that you — you don’t want to be pressured into — into feeling things that — that you don’t feel — or — or — are you sure this is a good idea? Olivia wanted to talk to ned alone. Olivia: …That we love was in an accident… well, what do you think now that you’ve seen eddie maine up close? Ned is not faking it. No matter how I feel about him, he would not put his family through this. Olivia: …But we know that you were. Just come back to the hospital. Why? I’m not sick. But — but you just got dizzy on the stage and had to be helped off! I was — I was a little dehydrated, but I just had some water and I’m — I’m right as rain. No, no. What you had was a major head injury and — and chest compressions!

[ Guitar plucking ] And — could you stop tuning that thing?! It’s not even yours! Well, whosever it was, they shouldn’t have left it on the stage. Yeah, just like a man with a head injury who doesn’t know who he is should not be just walking out of a hospital! I couldn’t stand being in that hospital room one more second, being told what to do, when to eat, when to sleep, being told who I am or who I’m not. I know who I am! I know that — I know that you think that you do. And, please, if you can’t come home for me, I understand, but… but please believe me. Your kids are your kids. Could you do it for your kids? Look. I appreciate what you’re trying to do. And I think I even know what you’re going through. And I’m truly sorry. I am. That I’m causing you pain. I don’t want to hurt anyone. Then stop! But I can’t be someone I’m not. Right. And you can’t love someone that you don’t know. You upset about something? Yeah. Well, it’s just I hate seeing ned’s family in so much pain. That’s what I love about you. You got a big heart. Yeah.


oh then you take me by the hand I feel better again oh I feel better now ned, please! It’s “eddie.” Please. O-okay. Eddie. Eddie. If — if you’re not going back to the hospital, could you please just come home? Or you know what? You know what? Why don’t you come back to my place? Come back to my place. You can even have your own room. I appreciate the offer, but I, um… it doesn’t feel right to me. I need to be on my own. Shh. Okay, well, I will call you tomorrow and we will set up an actual date? Yeah. I would like that.

[ Ace fussing ] Esme: Shh. I know. I know. Hey, spencer. Where’s ace’s piggy? Spencer, the piggy. Go find the piggy. I know the way out. Okay. Spencer: Believe it or not, esme, the toy pig is in the toy bin. Please give him to me. Thank you. Hey. Lullaby and good night in the sky stars are bright wild roses in bloom fill with fragrance the room lay you down now and rest may your slumber be blessed

[ Indistinct conversations ] Olivia, I’m gonna pick him up and I’ll bring him back to my place. Thank you. Go after him. Please. Please. Yeah, yeah. Of course. Of course. Thank you. Alright. You good? Yeah. Come on. Okay.

[ Sighs ]

[ Sobs ] I-I have a lot of contacts, you know, more than valentin. And I was kind of thinking, you know… why have one fallen wsb agent when you can have two? Anna, you’ve just been accused of being a double agent. How do you think it will look if you suddenly just… take off? And go to chechnya? Of all places! I thought you didn’t care about optics. I don’t care about how this looks for me. I’m worried about how it looks for you. Do you think that this would somehow make my reputation look worse? I think it will look like you’re running away. Well, what am i supposed to do, then? What am I supposed to do? I help people. That is what I do. It’s who I am, laura! And if I’m not an agent for the wsb, who am I? You don’t need the wsb to give you purpose. There are plenty of people in the world that could use someone like you on their side. Maybe you’d be one of them. Oh, are you kidding me? Before all this happened, you would have been my first phone call. But it did happen. And now helping me will do nothing to help you. Okay. Anna. I promise you… you will find a new path. It may even find you. I know that ned and I have been at odds lately.

[ Chuckles ] Not anymore. Because he’s not ned. I know. Olivia. Olivia. But he will be again. Alright? I-I promise you, I’m gonna do everything I can to help you and ned through this, okay? Okay. Where’s my dad? He left. I tried to get him to come back home, but… well, we have to find him. He’s not safe out there. Sonny went after him. He’ll look after him tonight. Okay. Well, that’s great. Well, what about tomorrow night and the night after that? And the night after that and the night after — chase: Then we will cross that bridge when we come to it. In the meantime, I have a feeling that eddie maine can handle himself. I don’t get what holly’s leaving had to do with anything. I specifically asked you to call me when you had decided who you wanted to be with. And you never called. That’s because holly left town. So you thought your decision had been made for you. Robert, answer me this. Do I look like someone who would appreciate being chosen by default? Exactly. See, it’s just not good enough. And I can’t believe you thought it ever would be.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

And I’m kind of knocking with breakfast. Those two in grapes will have a little bit more appreciation, but no. EJ ate a bit, but Kristen turned her nose up at everything I brought down. So high maintenance in their defense. Megan, I think it’s safe to assume being held captive isn’t the most enjoyable of pastimes.

Lee, we cannot have two turn coats on the loose now, can we? They cast their shadow across my bright vision of the future. I got what’s coming to them that makes them a tad cranky and impatient, and so be it. Oh, speaking of impatient, how’s it all going? Tell me you’ve got good news for me. I do. I’ll be leaving soon.

Well, if we arriving any moment, great. But you just make sure that he knows what we expect of him. Brainwash shares Michaels. I know. And soon, so will he. Excellent. Once I have Michaels under my control again. Nothing can stop us.

Hey, so we have a lot to discuss. Yeah. First, tell me about your friend, the mayor. Any news on his disappearance. No, no. I just talked to one of the detectives and they have nothing. Mm. Which really calls me because Megan Hathaway still free to stalk the streets, and he had Abe, a really good guy, really runs the best of us.

He’s nowhere to be found.

Oh, I think I need to go lie down. Can I give you a hand? Yeah. I think I need it.

You, you don’t seem very steady. Do you have like a, a cane or anything to help you out?

What do you mean? I mean, this is a, this is a new suit. Is is my tie to wife. Your clothes are fine then the problem is that ugly ass hospital of yours. Oh yeah. No. Paulina doesn’t like it either, but, but what do you want me to do? I, I’m still unsteady. I mean, the last thing I wanna do is wipe out walking down the aisle at my own wedding.

Well, that’s a good thing. Your best man’s got you covered. You that

something wrong. Paul pops,

you keep calling me Pops.

You’re not my son.

Thank you so much. All right. Appreciate it. Bye. Phil, please gimme about three minutes and I’ll come and talk to you. Um, before you go back in there, can I just ask. Why are you questioning that nurse about my dad?

When, when I reviewed the case file on the day that your dad disappeared, I saw that Ms. Whitley King left the hospital early and I wanted to know why. What’d she say? She said that she wasn’t feeling well. Do you believe me?

I’m sorry, Abe. F B I breathing down my neck. What choice do I have?

Poor baby. You’re gonna have to die. Hi.

Like sand through the hourglass. So are the days of our lives.

Hey, hey, um, I’m sorry. Um, I tried calling but you didn’t pick up. Uh, yeah, I was, I was in the shower. I’m, I’m lucky. I, I heard you knock. Yeah,

me too.

Okay, but what if he starts asking me about his life? Oh, or mine. Oh my God. You’re an actor. Just improvise. Improvise. You’re right, right, right. Just make some stuff up. Like talk to him. Your your guys. Do guy talk. That’s just the amnesia talking pops. Look, I, I, I’m your son Theo, and I, I love you a lot. Uh, but you’re just really not yourself right now.

I may not.

And I just had just now a vivid memory of my wedding day, and it was as bright as day, and I was talking to my best man. My son

and it wasn’t you. Uh, you’re really starting to worry me, pops. Um, let me get you a glass of water. All right.

So much for these acting skills. Oh,

Now, here’s the thing. When a hospital employee is sick, the protocol is to leave immediately. So she did the right thing. But what got my attention is that when Ray questioned her, she didn’t even mention it.

Agent Grant, I I, I’m very sorry to bother you. Uh, I really must get home. Is there anything else that you need from me today? Is everything okay? Yes. Well, a actually, no. Uh, my cat is sick as I, as I told you, and, uh, my neighbor has to leave and so I must get home and tend to him. He’s very old and very feeble, so.

Yeah. Um, sure. Yeah, you can go. If I need anything, then you’ll hear from me. Oh, no problem at all. Right. Bye bye. Bye bye now. Mm-hmm. Thank you for coming in. Oh, thank you. No, thank you. Wow. Is it just me or does she seem super anxious?

Yeah, I’m sorry. I seem a little, um, Yeah, once I heard the news, I dropped everything and I rushed over here. Come in please. Yeah. Thanks. Um, so yeah, so Bell came to the station. She was looking for you and uh, I don’t have all the details yet, but evidently Trask is willing to cut a deal. A deal. Hmm. What does that mean?

It means that Talia probably won’t have to serve any jail time. Are you kidding? Oh no. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh my God. Yeah. Oh, I can’t believe this. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much. Yeah.

Oh, Lee, if my heart didn’t belong to another man, I would kiss you. Not necessary. I assure you. So you’re positive everything’s secure with EJ and Kristen. I am. EJ is away on a fictional business trip, so all I have to do is send text messages to his dopey girlfriend and Stephan with his phone. And Kristen, no one’s looking for her except for her daughter.

And all she does is text, preteen, dribble. So I’ve just parked her phone in a drawer and on to more important things. As I told you, I’ll be meeting Ralph shortly, right. Just remember it’s imperative. But he understands that time is of the essence. So whatever he needs, he has it. There’s something he needs that we haven’t discussed.

The commander himself, well, don’t worry about that. He’s well within our grasp and he will do away with Stephan while we keep our hands clean and in her grief. Gabby will turn to me. She will indeed, and my little brother, Stephan, well, he’s in for quite a surprise. Am.

Oh, I’m sorry. I, um, no, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have, uh, brave. If you hadn’t, I would’ve jaya sh Just listen, listen to me. Okay. I, I, I wound up running into Kate downstairs and we started talking. And, and maybe she told me what I wanted to hear, but what she said, it, it really, it really changed my perspective.

What would she say? I mean, she said that, you know, what we do at work is one thing and what gives anyone the right to police what we do in the privacy of our own homes. It’s, it’s nobody’s business. And, uh, I think Kate is. Absolutely right.

So look, I appreciate your concern for my friend, but we have other pressing things to talk about. Like Shawn ruining your plan to grab Megan. Yeah, well, she was armed, he was drunk. I had to get Shawn out of there. She could have killed him. She could still kill him. I mean, she’s still free to create whatever chaos she wants to, and she also knows that you’re coming after her.

So how do we proceed now that you’ve lost the element of surprise? Kate? I’m, uh, I’m well aware of the situation, Kate. That’s why I’ve already prepared for my next encounter with Megan before I even left the property.

Oh, you have to go. No problem. Chat for now.

I didn’t hear you come in. Hmm. Obviously not. So what’s this big surprise you have in store for me? Well, I’ll just say that there are bad surprises and good surprises, and this one is in the latter category somehow. I’m not comforted by that. Fine, I’ll tell you, spoil sport. Hmm? It has to do with the party that I am planning to celebrate your engagement to.

Gabby, you told us about that. It’s hardly a surprise. Ah, but not when I was gonna keep you in the dark until the main event. But I would like to say I wouldn’t make any plans for tomorrow night if I were you. Oh, well thank you. And now that you know. I guess I’ll have to figure out another surprise for you tomorrow night.

Feel, I suppose that anyone would be anxious if they’re being questioned by the fbi? Yeah, I guess, but I don’t know. She seemed super nervous when I was talking to her earlier in the waiting room. Really? Yeah, like her hands were shaking. So what did she say? You know about not telling Rafe that she left early Liberty and my dad disappeared.

She just didn’t think it was important.

What are you thinking? Maybe it was important and that’s why she didn’t say anything, Eli. Somebody took my dad from the hospital that day and Nurse King’s whereabouts are unaccounted for. So I just hope that you’re not ruling her out. Hey, uh, here, go pops. Uh, drink some water and you’ll be, I don’t want any damn water.

I wanna know who the hell you are. Pops. I’m your son. Who else would I be? Hello there. Oh, hi there. How are my two guys? How’s my father and son duo? Did you have fun catching up? No, we did not. Um, actually there’s kind of a problem. Paulina uh, pops keeps saying I’m not who I say I am. What? Oh no, what are you talking about?

Of course. That’s your son, Theo. That’s a damn lie. He is not my son. I don’t even know him well. Well darling, you’re getting all worked up. You know, let me go and get you some water. I don’t want any damn water.

I want the truth.

Paulina, I had a very clear. Memory of our wedding day. Your best man has you covered. That’s what my son said. My real son, not this damn posture. So now, now I am starting to question everything.

Theo, I’m not ruling anyone out just yet, including Nurse King, but the issue here is evidence. Okay. So what about security cameras? They’ve gotta be all over the place in that hospital. I checked the cameras. Nothing. Hey, yeah, that, that brings up a good point because Nurse King would know where the cameras are and how to avoid them.

But Frank was given Ms. Willie King’s Hospital record. I mean by the looks of this thing. It’s immaculate. I mean, there’s not one negative word in here. She’s caring, compassionate. It’s a model nurse. So we just give up on her. She’s a good nurse. So that’s it, dear. I know this is hard, okay? It’s hard for me too, but I promise you I’m not ruling anyone out just yet.

She also said that file says at all. No, I never said that this file says at all. In fact, before she got here, I put in a request to have a background check on her.

Fuck. Let’s go in the room and see where the FBI turned up. Promise you if she’s telling stories, it’s not gonna hold up under FBI’s scrutiny.

Oh, darling, you, you, you’re getting worked up over nothing. There’s a simple explanation for everything. There is nothing simple about this. Wow. This, he’s, this is not an imposter. This is your son, Theo. And your other son was also at your wedding? My other son, yes, Brandon. He was your best man, and you just are your memories getting all mixed up.

See, doesn’t that make sense?

Grief, I hope you know that I would never do anything that could jeopardize your career. Of course. I know that. Of course. I was just, I was shocked to hear you say that because I was thinking the same thing. Don’t tell me Kate got to you too. No, no, no. It wasn’t Kate, it was Eli. Yeah, he asked about us cuz um, I guess it was obvious, you know, but he is a detective and he also had been through a similar situation with Lonnie, although they were partners, he was not her boss.

Right. But they were meant to be. And even now. Even now, nothing can stop him. I mean, he is patiently waiting for her to get out and talking to Eli just got me thinking this doesn’t matter. Doesn’t matter about a rule or a law or anything. If it is meant to be, then it will be. So what are you saying? We’re meant to be.

I’m saying

I wanna find out.

Welcome home. What happened? Why are you wet? One of the hazards of traveling via a submarine. You came in a submarine, princess Gina, some point of fact, a fine mode of transportation, especially when one wishes to arrive by stealth. You understand if I’m a little wary of running afoul of the authorities given my hasty departure last time after deprogramming stuff in the mirror?

Well, Let’s hope your skills in that department haven’t rusted with time. Ah, it cut but be to mess with that poor man’s brain yet again. Relax. Relax. This isn’t about Stephan. You recall Commander Michaels, I assume the Navy Seal. Megan ve had me back on. Mm-hmm. She needs him back under her control.

Well, don’t leave me in suspense. How have you prepared for your next encounter with Megan? After, uh, getting Shawn out of the house, I placed a small tracking device on her car. I mean, she can’t stay cooped up there forever. Eventually she’ll come out and she’ll be mine.

I am sorry. I spoiled the surprise, Megan, but I guess it’s just as well, right? EJ won’t be back from his business trip by tomorrow, so I wouldn’t worry about EJ crashing your party. I would like to include Kristen though. Have you seen her? Kristen? Yeah. Kristen, her sister. Blonde lady roaming around here a little.

It’s funny, I, I poked my head in her room and her bed looked like it hadn’t been slept in. You wouldn’t know anything about our whereabouts, would you?

Well, we can’t keep anything from you, can we, I’m afraid. Um, Kristen is indisposed tomorrow evening as well,

so Kristen won’t be there. You know this because, I saw her leave. She said goodbyes and she headed outta town last night.

I don’t understand. Well, the door, the front door is right through there, and she crossed the threshold out into the world and closed the door behind her. Oh, Megan, you know very well. That’s not what I mean. Ever since Kristen has been back, all she’s wanted is custody of her daughter back. That’s all she talks about.

And so now you’re telling me just out of the blue, she books a vacation somewhere. I said that she left town. I didn’t say she was going to The Bahamas and she has not given up on her daughter. Quite the contrary. She’s taken a proactive step. You more than anyone else should know that Damira has cannibalized all of the competent lawyers in town here.

So she’s headed to New York to see if she can find a custody lawyer who can grind Brady Black into the ground. And she had quite a significant list to go through, so I shouldn’t imagine that she’ll be home anytime in the next few days. Maybe weeks. So you said she left last night? I did. If you were alone when I came in here, who’s that extra breakfast plate?

Belonged to

tell me. Mr. Shin says, what does Megan ha have up her sleeve this time? If I remember correctly, her last escapade was about an elixir for eternal youth. She goes by De Marina, and all you need to know is that she requires a unique talent to fulfill a very ambitious plan. So the question is, Dr. Rolf, are you up to the task of getting Michael’s back under her control?

My boy, this would be child’s play. I could do it in my sleep.

That was, um, better than I imagined. I’ll admit, I’ve done a bit of imagining. Me too. Oh yeah. Oh yeah.

So now what? Well, I don’t, I don’t want us to keep imagining, you know, being together like this. I, I want it to keep happening. For real. Me too. Oh, yeah. Oh yeah.

All right, so let’s see. Whitley King, born in Scottsdale, Arizona. Youngest of five. Father was a pastor, mother school teacher. She paid her own way through college and nursing school. I mean, it’s, it’s all pretty unremarkable. Uh, she’s on her own now, so she’s a loner. Now. Now she was married once, divorced, widowed, just a couple of years back, and no kids.

Anything else? I’m sorry, man, but this just isn’t the profile of a criminal.

Theo. I know you had your hopes up. But upstanding citizens don’t just turn the crime without a reason. And by the looks of it, this woman doesn’t have a reason.

Well, sweetheart, does that clear everything up? Hell no. It’s just the opposite. Why the hell didn’t you tell me I had another son? Why would you keep that from me, Abe? I know I should have told you sooner. I know, but. But, but you haven’t seen Brandon since the wedding. Um, actually, he doesn’t really approve of us, and I’m sorry to say, but the two of you had a falling out and I, I just didn’t wanna bring this up.

You had so much going on and I didn’t wanna share that tension with you. And I just, it would’ve seemed cruel, you know, but now it’s out in the open and, uh, Hopefully that just clears everything up now,

I suppose. Yeah. Yeah. And you,

I owe you an apology. I was, I was harsh with you before. That’s okay. Pops. Um, I’m, I’m just worried about you and, uh, I want you to get better. You know what, Theo, you’ve had such a long flight coming in from South Africa. You must be exhausted. Let’s get you to the hotel and rest up. Yeah, I am feeling a bit tired.

Yeah. Let’s, I’ll walk you out. Sure. Alright, come on. See, you see Pops? Yeah.

You are so lucky that he has another son. I, I leave you over two minutes and damn it Jerry, I told you to improvise in case something happened. What? I tried, improv is hard. Okay. You know what? Forget it. Just don’t have any time to waste. There’s something else I need you to do for me,

and don’t worry, there’s no improv. Just wait here for a second. There’s something I gotta go to first. Jerry,

what are you doing?

Don’t worry, darling. This won’t take long.

Oh, what won’t take long. I need to get a blood sample from you. Blood sample. Yes. Right before I came home, I got a call from the hospital. They want you to come all the way back down there just to get one little sample. I told him that you’re doing very, very well, but just not quite well enough to make that trip all the way back down there for something I could do right here in the comfort of our own home.

Okay? Okay.

Okay. Here’s an option. How about we never get out of this bed? And we just, we just leave the world and it’s stupid rules behind tempting, but

we both have jobs to do. So here’s another option. Okay. How about at work? We are consummate professionals committed to the forest. Mm-hmm. But behind and closed doors we’re committed to each other. Oh, I like that option a lot.

You gotta get back to work. No, no, no. I have to get back to work for you. You have to get that rest that I ordered you to get. Oh gosh. Mm-hmm. I knew you would find a way to pull rank, but you know what? Hmm? To complete that game, huh? And I am not going to let you leave without giving me another kiss. Oh, okay.

Mm-hmm.

There we go. All done. I’ll just run this down to the hospital. You know, I could go with you, huh? I think I’m feeling up to it. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. You stay here and rest. I insist I’ll be back at two shakes of a lamb’s tail. Oh, I know you’re probably going stir crazy in here, but do this my way. It’s gonna be best for all of us.

Now listen up. This is what I need you to do. I was alone when you got here. But before that, my son, Dimitri was here and we were having breakfast fussy eater that he is. He turned his nose up at the breakfast sausages. Ah, I see. He is lost then. Good to know. I’ll make sure to include it on the menu for your last meal.

Your last meal is a bachelor before your wedding day sausages. Better write that down so I don’t forget.

Ah,

quite the shopping list, Ralph. That was the last time I performed work like this was under trying circumstances to say the least. Lots of proper tools. This time, instead of having to resort to a collection of kitchen implements and pub paraphernalia, not too much to ask in exchange for my talents, I suppose not.

Plutonium. If you want my work to stick this time, I need everything on that list. Everything okay? Okay. Relax. You’ll get it. Excellent. That is the subject. Now, we’ll make him available to you very soon. Is it really today to reconsider Megan’s fate? I mean, honestly. I mean, it doesn’t make any sense to disappear her into parts unknown if she’s just gonna escape and make her way back here.

Okay. Okay. Take my word for it. Once she’s gone, she’s not coming back. Is that arrogance or confidence? Michael’s experience.

What is it? It’s Megan, she’s leaving the house as we speak. I better go. Good luck. Luck will have nothing to do with this.

I guess Megan already left. I was gonna ask her if she thought there was a small chance Christian could make an appearance at our engagement party, but you’re right as you always are. I should just call her myself. All right. I’m gonna give her a ring and uh, let you know what she says. Love you.

Why the hell would Kristen go to New York without her phone

friend Michaels. You following me?

We have unfinished business. Megan,

your moments are numbered. Megan Deir, you Smart, evil witch. First sign of insanity. Hey, Jayda, talking to yourself. I’m in. Uhha. Right. Although I’m not sure that you heard what I was saying. Oh, I, I didn’t actually. Right, right. I was just bemoaning the fact that my son Rex really gets in touch with me. You know, the doctor.

Right, right. Mm. So, um, is that rave that I saw leaving before? It was actually. Mm-hmm. So did you take my advice?

Alright, let’s start from the beginning. Tell us everything you saw.

Hey, Brandon. No, no, there still no news about that. But I was at the station a couple of minutes ago when Eli and Raf got a call. Yeah, leave. I think, well, they rushed out to check it out without telling me much about it, but, um, hopefully we’ll finally get some answers.

You are gone for a long time, Pauline. I’m sorry Hun, but I wanted to wait for your test results and, and. You passed with flying colors. Good news. Oh, I was walking way over there when I saw someone by the edge of the docks and he looked, uh, totally out of it. What do you mean out of it? Uh, wobbly, like unsteady.

And then the next thing I know, uh, he just stumbles and hits his head on one of the pylons. And, and then splash right into the drink. And then I, I ran over here, but he must have sunk like a stone because I, I can’t swim otherwise I would’ve jumped in after him. Mm-hmm. And no one else was around. Uh, I called for help, but no one came.

All right. You stay here. We’re gonna check this out. Hey Ray, look at this. Yeah. It’s blood. It’s fresh.

Oh God, what’s this?

What is it?

okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition.

Wyatt: Liam, talk to me here.

Liam: Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah. Um… I flew to rome to surprise hope. You know, ’cause we had been at odds lately, and I thought that I should be there for her. And, um, I wanted to make it in time for the preview and– and the press conference. But I– I– I– I wasn’T. I was too late. So I just, I took off looking for hope.

Wyatt: Okay. But how– how did you know where to go? I mean, rome is such a huge city. Like–

Liam: Believe me, I know. At first, I was just wandering around, but then I remembered, um, the colosseum. She– she had been talking about how much she wanted to see the colosseum and I figured that’s where she would be.

Wyatt: And was she?

Liam: Yeah. She wasn’t alone. I mean, at first, I couldn’t see who it was. Thomas.

Wyatt: Yeah, of course. I mean, he’s been obsessing and wanting your wife for years.

Liam: But I was wrong. I didn’t see it.

Wyatt: What? You didn’t see what?

Liam: Everything. Everything that steffy was telling me, the warnings. She– she was trying to get me to listen and I didn’t wanna hear it. I didn’t wanna believe that it wasn’t– thomas wasn’t the one to worry about. It was– it was hope.

Wyatt: What? No! No. Dude–

Liam: Wyatt, I saw this with my own eyes. Hope grabbed him and she kissed him. And if anything, he was the one taken off guard. But she– she– she initiated it. She kissed him. She kissed him. She wanted him. She chose him.

Hope: Look, steffy, I can understand if maybe you’re a little upset about your dad and my mom getting back together, but, you know, if it’s true love and a real commitment–

Steffy: Uh, you know all about love and commitment, right?

Hope: Steffy, this has been a really great trip and I would hate to sour that. I mean, the preview was a success. The press loved the designs. Our parents are happy. I mean, this– this should be a win.

Steffy: Yes. Especially for you and thomas. But you’re right. The preview was a hit. You must feel like you’re on some kind of a high right now. Rome was a magical place. Something you’ll never forget.

Brooke: This is andrea’s wife, veronica.

Veronica: Nice to meet you.

Ridge: Nice to meet you.

Brooke: And their precious daughter, virginia.

Ridge: Hi, virginia.

Virginia: Hi. Did you enjoy your stay in our villa?

Ridge: Uh, yeah. It’s beautiful. I just didn’t know that this is where we were.

[ Brooke laughing ]

Brooke: We can’t thank you enough. Really.

Veronica: It’s totally our pleasure.

Andrea: I hope you enjoyed my songs.

Ridge: Maestro, I’m– I’m speechless. Thank you.

Veronica: I know andrea does have that effect on people, but, you know, I’m so happy we were able to put this together for you.

Brooke: Oh, me too. Thank you.

Ridge: This is crazy, logan. Crazy.

Brooke: All for you.

[ Brooke chuckling ] – Hey. – Hey so,

Wyatt: I don’t even know what to say.

Liam: I don’t think there’s anything to say.

Wyatt: Are you– are you sure that’s what you saw? Because, I mean, you said yourself, you haven’t even had a chance to talk to her about it.

Liam: There’s no mistaking what I saw. Hope betrayed me with the one person she knows would end our marriage.

Wyatt: Uh, what can I do? Uh, what do you need, you know?

Liam: I don’t know. I think, um… I think maybe I just need to be alone.

Wyatt: Are you– are you sure? I mean, I– I can crash on the couch. Like, if you need somebody to be here. All right. Uh… I’m sorry, bro.

Thomas: Here you go.

Steffy: Oh, thanks.

Thomas: Welcome. That’s what your brother’s supposed to do. It’s a good trip, right?

Steffy: Yeah. Especially for you and hope.

Thomas: Yeah. We’d be nowhere without our co-ceo. I’m guessing finn’s gonna be excited to have you back home.

Steffy: I’m sure he has been holding it down and li and mom have been taking care of the kids.

Thomas: That’s good. I, um, I know why you’re upset, stef.

THIS STILL NEEDS EXTENSIVE EDITING!

 Well, thank you for agreeing to see us this morning. I know how busy you are. I am. So let’s keep this short. Okay, short. It is, uh, as we’ve discussed, my client has agreed to testify against Colin Bedford in exchange for some certain considerations. Actually, I’ve changed my mind about that. Excuse me. Yeah.

I think it sets a terrible precedent for a truly dangerous criminal to be given a walk in exchange for pointing the finger at our co-conspirator. Okay, well, it’s not your job to decide whether she’s dangerous or a criminal. It’s the court’s job. And in court I will present an open and closed case that will put Ms.

Hunter away for a long, long time.

I hope that if we went over everything again, maybe. So maybe we’d find something that we’d missed and all we missed was a night’s sleep. Yeah, thanks. Now they said the academy, that missing person cases go dry after three days. It’s been missing now almost three weeks. Rafe, we’ll find him. Yeah,

that that’s great. I will. Thank you so much. That was the Salem Health Department. They’re letting me reopen sweet bits. That’s wonderful, baby. Oh mama. I’m sorry. It wasn’t news about Abe. I keep saying to myself any day now, his memory will come back. The doctor said it could, and my, my phone will ring and it will be him.

I’ll go wherever he is and bring him home.

Time for breakfast time. Breakfast from my baby. Here we go. Here we go. Bon Appit boat meal again. Well, it’s, it’s heart healthy, and I want you to live a long life. Well, facing this every morning is going to seem like a long life. You know, when we renewed our vows yesterday, I promised to love you through sickness and health, and I’m gonna do my best to make sure that it’s mainly in health.

Wasn’t it nice to say those words again? Yesterday? Would’ve been nicer if we’d had our family there. Oh wow. That means you’re gonna really like the surprise that I have for you. Bacon. Oh, it’s better than bacon. Your son is back in Salem,

Theo. Oh my God. It is so good to see you again. Hi Kate. Oh, honey, I wish it was under circumstances. Me too. Listen, I uh, I heard your speech at Juneteenth. No, no, my, that was my dad’s speech. No, honey, you made that speech your own. He would be so proud of you. Do you think he’s gonna be okay? Of course I do.

You know how strong he is? Right now I know that he is working on getting back to you. I wish that I could be so short.

Theo thought you told me he lived overseas. He did, but he came back home because of your situation. So I’m going to see him. That’s right. You know, I’m thinking if I can see my son, my own flesh and blood, then I can remember him and then I can remember everything.

Like Sam through the hour. So are the days of lives.

You know, your dad and I had known each other for a long time, but I think I really got to know him. When thanks to me, you were in the hospital fighting for your life. No, I think that was, thanks to me being shot. Yeah. But that was my fault, you know? No, he never left your bedside ever, except of course when the doctors would, would make him leave your room.

I watched him go through parent hell, and he never wavered. I think, I think it was his love for you that we’ll do to come back and I, I really believe that that same love is gonna wheel him back to you. I hope you’re right.

I’m sorry, I, I have to go. Someone needs me right now. Okay. Phil, what is it?

Now, Abe, listen to me. I I don’t want you to get your hopes up. You know, you may not remember him right away, and that’s okay. I keep telling you these kinds of cases. Sometimes they just take time. Wait a minute, why isn’t he here? I mean, if he came here to see me, why? Why didn’t he come straight here? Well, because seeing him right away is gonna be stressful for both of you.

He wanted me to break it to you first, and so I did. And I just texted him and he’s on his way.

Eli. Whoa. What’s happening man? Wow. It’s good to see you. Hey, you doing hi? Looking good, man. Thanks. You too. Uh, hey, um, this is, uh, Jada. I don’t think you two, I’m sorry. Detective Hunter, this is, uh, Eli Grant. F b I used to work at Salem pd. Nice to meet you. Same here. Yeah. He’s also Abe’s, uh, son-in-law. Oh.

Figured. I’d come by and see if there’s any, anything I can do to help. Great. Well hopefully a fresh pair of eyes will help us find something that we missed. Yeah. This is everything we got. All right. You guys been pretty thorough? Oh yeah. Yeah. We spent the night going over everything, but, uh, nothing’s jumping out at us.

So, uh, let me walk you through So far. No, no, no. Jada, you go home. You’ve already been here all night. Well, so have you go home, get something to eat and get some rest. That’s an order. Has he always been this wishy That’s one of his best qualities. So, go on. I’ll let you know if something happens here.

Please do. Okay, Eli, it was great meeting you. Hopefully you can bring us some luck. Yeah, have a good one. See ya.

She’s great. She’s great. She’s been through a lobby. She never gives up. She’s not real. Ask that to the team.

What, what with the look? No, no. It’s. I’m, I’m happy for you. Oh, you’re, you’re okay. You’re happy for me? Yeah. She seems like you know. Good girl. Clearly there’s something going on between you two.

I know you’re not gonna deny it.

All I said was that Jada has an incredible work ethic and that she’s been a real asset to the team. And yeah, you know, it’s been intense between us because we have been working so closely together, especially on this case, and I have worked a lot of big cases and as intense as they’ve been. I don’t recall us ever holding Nance when I walked in.

Y’all were holding Nance.

Okay, fine. Mm, fine. All right. Jada and I are, we’re attracted to each other, but we also both know that nothing can come of it.

Jada. Hi. Oh my God, Kate. Oh my goodness. I am so glad to see you alive and back. Well, how do you think I feel, you know, this probably shouldn’t be the first thing I say to you, but you look like you’re feeling a little rough. Well, don’t sugarcoat it. Well, I’m just saying you dragged yourself in here. Did you have a night on the town?

Yeah, a night on the town at the station house going over Abe’s case. Oh yeah, I know. I’m so sorry. Of course. Of course. I’ll tell you. It’s just a nightmare, isn’t it? I’m just praying that he is somewhere alive and well. Yeah, we are all praying that. Ralph and I spent the night going over yet again.

Everything that we have, right. You know, um, I hope you’re a personal relationship isn’t going to be a distraction, you know, working on the case now, why would it be? Well, I mean, I have to admit that I do read Lady Whistle. Lowers column every once in a while. And, uh, recently she reported that you and Ray were seen being affectionate in the office.

So kissing you mean? Yeah. Well I wasn’t being so blunt. I mean, but it’s not like I had put stock in idle gossip anyway. Well, it’s, it’s not idle gossip. It’s, it’s the truth.

Big mama’s packing to go home. And of course she wouldn’t even hear of me trying to help. She’s pretty upset about going home before we found aid. What’d you say? Nothing important. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah. I, uh, was just about to post the job opening at Sweet Bits, and then I got caught in a bag. Kind of dejavu reminded you of Talia?

No, I didn’t need to be reminded. I ran into her yesterday. She’s out on bail. Did she threaten you? No, nothing like that. She was putting up posters asking if anyone had seen Abe, why would she be doing that? She was probably trying to help her case so that the DA will go easy on her. Wait, but you said that Talia, let me handle this.

My client and Colin Bedford are not co-conspirators. Yes, Talia committed some crimes at his instigation, which means that he is responsible for everything Talia did at his behest. But let’s not forget that on his own, he held a gun to Chanel Dupre’s, head to coerce Paulina Price to jump off a five story building.

Do you really think a guy like that should walk? Because without my client’s testimony, without your client’s testimony, I still have a rock solid case against Bedford. Ms. Hunter’s own sister, a Salem police officer is an eyewitness to what happened on that roof, and Paulina Price will testify to his attack against Mayor Carver, which will give me enough to lock your boyfriend up for a very long time.

He’s not my boyfriend. Not anymore. Well, that’s probably for the best I’ve heard. It’s hard to keep a relationship when each of you are serving long sentences in different correctional facilities. Oh, watch it more. I’ve got your confession to your own sister about you drugging those biscuits. And trashing Paulina Price’s office, which means I can use your own words to prove to the judge and jury that you are guilty as hell.

Okay? There is no need to pile on Melinda. Oh, am I supposed to be polite to her? I am a fit and healthy woman. And your drugs that you put in those biscuits sent me to the emergency room. Heaving my guts out all night long. It could have killed a child, a senior, anyone with a compromised immune system. Did you even think about that?

Did you? Okay. Did you think about the fact that she actually saved Chanel and Paulina’s life and nearly died in the process? You would’ve never been on that roof in the first place if it wasn’t for your client. Look, I don’t take my job lightly, and I’ve gone over and over the evidence. And there is nothing there that indicates any kind of leniency.

Okay, here’s something new.

I got Jack. There you go. Okay. I’m a little nervous. I, I just hope I, I, I hope I recognize him. If I don’t, I, I don’t know how that make him feel. Oh God. I told him about your condition. He’ll understand. You seem a little nervous. Maybe just a little. Are you and Theo getting along? Well, to be honest, we don’t really know each other that well.

I’ll get it.

Well, here he is, your son, Philo. Hello Pops.

I also think that Toya is working some angle trying to convince everyone that all the things she did were Colin’s fault. Is that what she said? No. No. She apologized and tried to take responsibility for what she did. So tell me this, are you thinking of forgiving her?

Oh, I’ll get it. Hmm.

Hey y’all. Oh, I’m so glad you’re here, honey. Hey, I came as soon as I got your text. What’s up? Oh, mama Price is uh, leaving for Florida this morning and she wouldn’t leave us saying goodbye to you. What she actually said was, I have to see that handsome face of his. One more time.

Is this my son? Yes it is. It’s uh, good to see you again, pops. Thank you for coming. No problem, sir. Uh, you really don’t remember me? I am, I’m sorry. I, I don’t, well just give it time. You two just need to get to know each other again. Theo, sit down.

Uh, yes. Would you, uh, like some coffee? Uh, no, I’m good. Oh.

Uh, uh, so, uh, how was your flight? Uh, it was good. Long. Yeah? Yeah. So, uh, where, where are you living now? Uh, south America, South Africa. I, uh, sorry, uh, a major jet lag. I had a layover in Brazil. I got mixed up. You, you had a stop over in Brazil on a flight from South Africa. That’s, uh, Boy, that’s way out of the way.

I, uh, got a deal. Cheap flights. Huh? Must have had it whole day. You know, you know what aid You are always so good at geography. You know me. I get lost on my way to the hospital sometimes. Oh, pops. Would you mind if I had a talk with Paulina out in the corridor? Why I, I don’t think that’s necessary. Paulina, right, please.

Yes. Excuse us. Let’s talk.

You didn’t tell me that The guy you were talking about was the mayor. What has she been with? Amnesia. He’s no fool. I mean, he’s not only good at geography, but he knows damn well there’s something going on. Because like an idiot. You said that you were from South America. I gave you Theo’s background. I didn’t have time to read all that stuff you sent and, and I, I didn’t expect to get grilled or, or that or that.

What? That he’s a good guy who needs help, needs his real family. I’m sorry, I can’t do this. You mean nothing can come of it? She’s single, right? She is. Okay. Well so are you. What’s the problem? Good jobs. Okay. Look, I know from experience that two cops getting together isn’t easy, but Lonnie and I proved that it’s possible.

You and Lonnie were partners. I’m Jade’s boss. Okay. And there are now new regulations in place. Fraternization with a subordinate is now grounds for dismissal. Yeah. Forgot about those new regulations. Mm-hmm. That sucks, man. Yeah. Uhhuh. And I know you’re looking at me right now and you’re thinking, oh man, this guy.

He’s got some real bad luck when it comes to women. Oh no. Yeah, I was not thinking that bad. You were. Cause I saw you. All right. You were and you’d be right. Yeah. Well, I am happy for race, happy for you. Well, there’s nothing to be happy about. I mean, the only reason he kissed me was because he was high on those tainted biscuits.

Well, whatever the reason, I don’t know. It seems like when you talk about him, there is a little something there. Okay. Maybe. Yeah. But I mean, we work together and, and plus the city council has all these guidelines. Oh, screw the guidelines. Are you kidding me? You know, I was just telling Eric and Sloan, life is short.

You know, we don’t wanna waste what little time we have. You’re just waiting. You’re just getting older, right? I mean, if you’re interested, you should go for it.

What is that? In a second? Talia, do you take responsibility for drugging those biscuits? Yes, I do. And do you also take responsibility for breaking into and vandalizing MS Price’s office? Yes, I do. You’re just making my case for me. Talia, are you also currently under the care of a psychiatrist? Yes. Um, Dr.

Melina Evans. This is a signed affidavit by Dr. Evans detailing the nature of the relationship between Talia and Colin, and I truly believe this changes everything.

The worst thing about being in a abusive relationship is the shame that we feel. I. A man treats us badly and somehow we still believe it’s our fault.

Years later, we think we’re past it and comes back like malaria. He not only makes us feel unworthy of his love, but of anyone else’s, you keep saying. We and us.

My ex-husband, Mr. Trask, he was a very, um,

shall we say, controlling man. I was so afraid of him. So cow. That I denied the existence of my own daughter. I kept, kept her a secret, um, from him, from the world.

Uh, sometimes I still wonder how I found the strength to break away from him.

I am so sorry. I I’m so sorry that you both have had to suffer like that.

So it’s, it’s clear though, Melinda, that you understand what Talia’s been through, and I, I know that that was really painful for you to share.

What do you think this means for her case?

You are back already. Your mom would not let me drive to the airport. So we got our taxi. And don’t worry, I slept a driver, a 21. Big mama wasn’t looking that way. He’d get more than Bible verses for a tip. Good for you. So Theo, you, you had breakfast, what would you like? No, nothing for me. Thanks. It was great to see your mom again, but I’m afraid I’ve gotta get going.

I’m gonna head down to the police station. I’ll find my dad.

So you really think I should go forward with Rae? Okay. Full disclosure, Ray and I have, uh, a little bit of history. We actually dated for a while. It was years ago. And, uh, even though I had issues with a lot of things that he did, I will say he’s one of that rare breed, a good man. But the work thing don’t, you can just make the work thing work out, you know?

I mean, I would suggest no more p d a in the office, but when you and Rave are in the privacy of your own home, Pass off the city council or anyone else’s business. Right.

Okay. Please. Those are all the witness statements. Like Jada said, maybe a fresh pair of eyes see something we missed. Speaking of eyes, you could barely keep yours open. Why don’t you take your own advice, go home, get something to eat, take a shower and get some rest. I’ll call you if I need anything. I’m actually too tired to argue with you.

That’s cuz you know I’m right. Mm-hmm. Right’s. Good to see you, bro. See you too. I’ll be back this afternoon. Don’t set an alarm. Mm.

You can’t back out on me now. You agreed to do this. Plus I paid you good money. This is a great challenge for an actor. I’m an actor, not a con man. I’m not asking you to con anybody. And wait a minute. Didn’t your grandmother get help when she was in the hospital? Here we go. Yeah, that’s right. Here we go.

Your grandmother had no health insurance, but thanks to me. She got the help that she needed. And what did it cost her? Nothing. Right? Nothing because I doctored her intake form so she could get the help she needed. So you owe me. Jerry, big time. You have been accepted into the family since you’re feeling so sorry for Pops.

I only wanted you to act like his son to help him with his recovery, but it’s not gonna help him. I mean, I can see that it, it’s only confusing him. Listen to me, Jerry. I’m a nurse and I’m his wife, and I know best. You can’t walk away from this besides what would happen to your career if this came out.

Okay, but what if I do? If he starts asking me about his life or fine, oh my God, you’re an actor. Just improvise. Improvise. Yeah. Right, right, right. Just make some stuff up, like talk to him. Your, your guys. Do guy talk sports or something? I don’t know.

Hello? This king? Yes, this is she. This is Agent Eli Gran the fbi. I’m investigating the disappearance of Abe Carver. I need you to come down to the police station right away. Oh, I, I can’t, my cat is sick and I can’t leave him. Okay, then I’ll, I’ll come to you. No, no, no, no. That’s not necessary. I’ll just have a neighbor come over.

Mm-hmm. I’ll see you soon.

Look, um, I, I need you to go in there and, and, and just be with him. I, I got some place I gotta go. Hey, look, you’ve spent an hour and I, I won’t take that long. Um, I’ll give you an extra hundred. Look, I, I, I, I need you to stay with him and I gotta go, alright? Okay. Okay. See and cash. Remember, I,

I’m back pops. What were you talking about out there? Where’s, where’s, where’s Paulina? What’s going on here?

Hey. Hey. Hello. Hey. Oh, how’s Shawn? Uh, he’s not doing great. He’s still reeling after everything that happened in Greece. Oh, well that’s understandable. Yeah. On top of that, he’s feeling pretty guilty about not being able to help find Abe. Oh, you know what? Tell him not to worry. Eli’s here. We got it covered, but, uh, is there anything I can do for you?

Uh, actually I’m here to see Jada. I have news about Talia’s case. I will file my recommendation with the court community service, and, uh, probation and continuing to see Dr. Evans.

Thank you so much. I never expected this to happen. If there’s anything I can do, You can keep going to therapy and work on your self-worth. Get to a place where you can feel that you deserve to be treated with kindness and respect so that what happened with you and Colin Bedford will not happen again.

So we were talking about Talia before Theo showed up. Are you thinking of forgiving her hearing Talia talk about Colin. It wasn’t just the things he said or did, it was more about the way he manipulated her. He played on her insecurities, took advantage of the way she felt about him to get her to do things that she didn’t really wanna do.

Emotional abuse, like what Ray did to me, Colin’s father did to me. Yeah, all too similar. So you think Charlie was a victim in all this? She loved Colin and she was afraid that she’d lose him if she didn’t do what he. Told her to do. And as, as much as I hate what she put you through, put us all through, she’s in pain, real pain, and it’s going to take her a long time to get over it.

What, you didn’t answer me, what did you have to talk to her about? Uh, okay. Okay. Uh, Paulina got a call. She, uh, had to run an errand. You still didn’t answer my question. What did you and Paulina have to talk about alone? Um, uh, you want the truth? Um, I asked her if my showing up here. Upset. You see? I mean, I mean, yeah.

It, it, it’s, it’s weird. I don’t know how to talk to you when you don’t, when when? I don’t remember you. Yeah. I’m sorry. It, it is weird. I’m sorry. Hey, it’s, it’s not your fault, so I guess we just gotta try to get to know each other again. It’s okay if I sit. Yeah, of course. Of course. Please do.

So, uh, how about those white socks?

Oh, excuse me, aren’t you Abe Carver son? Theo? Yeah, I am. Do I know you? No, no. I, I was one of your father’s nurses. I, I was there, uh, the day your stepmother was trying to jog his memory. Oh, he’s such a wonderful man. What a terrible thing to happen to him. Yeah, I was. Yeah. So why are you here? Oh, uh, uh, I received a call, uh, from the fbi, uh, agent grant to come down.

Yeah. Um, I’m actually here to see him too. Really? Oh, but you weren’t even here when your father went missing? No, not as a witness. Eli is my sister’s husband and my dad’s son-in-law, my friend. I’m here to help him and we’re not gonna stop until we find my dad.

You seem a little nervous. Yeah. You know, I just don’t know why they called me down here. I mean, I told the police everything I know. So. Ms. King? Yes, that’s right. Yoo. I need to speak to Ms. King. Yeah, that’s okay. I’ll wait this way. Nice to be.

Thank you Ms. King for coming in. You gotta have a seat right here. Okay.

Thank you. You’re welcome. I’ll be with you in just a second.

You know, as, as I was telling, uh, Abe carver’s son outside, I’ve, I’ve already told the police everything.

Now you can tell me everything, you know. I was going over your statement about the day Abe Carver went missing. You were on duty, right? Well, uh, yes. Yes, I was. Uh, but as I told the police, I, I didn’t see anything. Well, you, you couldn’t have, did you, excuse me, because you left work early hours before the end of your shift, and I’d like to know why

you, okay.

Just a little bit overwhelmed. I still can’t believe I’m not going to prison. Seriously. Thank you so much Ms. Brady. No. Well, not always, but sometimes the prosecution and the defense work together to get it right. Um, I just went to the station to tell your sister the good news, but she’d already gone home.

Well, should I call her? I, I think Rafe was going over there to tell her

Jayna open up. I got some good news

after all the terrible things that Colin Bedford did. He still denies taking Abe out of the hospital. Yeah. And the police say they’re sure that he didn’t do it, but we both know that Eli won’t give up until he finds Abe and he makes sure that whoever did take him pays. Um, I, I was sick that day, so I went home early.

Like your cat? Huh? What? When we spoke on the phone, you said that your cat was sick. Oh, right. That’s right. He has ringworm. Aw. What was wrong with you that day? The day that Abe car went missing? I, uh, well, I was feeling like I was getting the flu. I had a slight fever. Uh, and you know, I can’t be around patients.

I. Like that. So, you know, you didn’t mention that in your statement. Oh, well, I, I didn’t think it was important. No, it’s not for you to decide what’s important and what’s not, which is why you’re gonna tell me everything that happened on that day. And this time you’re not gonna leave anything out.

I’m sorry. I’ll be right back.

Kitchen grant.

Eli is my sister’s husband and my dad’s son-in-law, my friend. I’m here to help him and we’re not gonna stop until we find my dad.

God, help me. I don’t have a choice. A carver has to die.

White socks. I, I, I think I’m a cuts fan. No, I’m sorry. I forgot. No, no, no. I’m, I’m, I’m sorry. I, I know this is hard on you. I.

Oh, I’m sorry. I just, all of a sudden I just got a, I just got a headache. I think I, I think I need to rest. Okay. Can I give you a hand? Yeah, I think, uh, I think I’m gonna need it.

You don’t seem very steady. Do you have like a cane or anything to help you out?

So what, what do you mean? I mean, this is a, this is a new suit. Is is my tie too wide? Your clothes are fine dad. The problem is that ugly ass hospital can viewers. Oh yeah. Well, Paulina doesn’t like it either, but what do you want me to do? I’m still unsteady. I mean, the last thing I wanna do is wipe out walking down the aisle of my own wedding.

Well, it’s a good thing your best man’s got you covered. Beer bad.

Something wrong, Paulina.

The reason I’m calling you is that we need to talk. Look, uh, the thing is, as hard as I’m trying, I. I don’t know if I can keep your secret.

I’m screwed. No, no, no, no. I’m so sorry. No, hold on. Just, just calm down. Look, um, it doesn’t sound like Bonnie told Sandra or anything. Yeah. Right. So maybe call her back and, and talk her down. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that’s, That’s a good idea. I’m gonna, I’m gonna, I’m gonna do that.

Hello? Sarah. Sarah, you sound awful. I know. It’s just No, but just a bad cold, I guess. You got my message? Yeah. I could. Please tell me that you didn’t tell Xander about the baby. No, I didn’t. I s I swear. Okay. That’s great. Thank God. But I did tell one person. You did. Who? Who did you tell Bonnie? It was just Justin.

Okay. You can spare a couple of minutes. Go on, pull her, pull up her chair and tells everything that’s going on with you. No, there’s really nothing new to report. Yeah. Uh, nothing really. I got nothing. Not one thing. Yeah. Are you, uh, sure about that? Why wouldn’t I be sure? I don’t know. You just seem like you’re acting a little bit nervous.

It’s not like you.

Okay. Look, there is something and you have every right to know what it is.

Like sand through the hour class. So are the days of our lives.

You told Xander’s cousin that I’m having Xander’s baby. Oh man, he’s my husband. What was I supposed to do? You promised that you wouldn’t tell anyone. Bonnie, will you just listen? I gave Justin a dollar as a retainer before I opened my mouth. Right? So if he Blas, he’s gonna violate that attorney client thingy.

All right? And Justin would never do that.

You need an antihistamine for that cold? No, I’m fine. Justin, skinny me some chicken doodle soup. Listen, everything is gonna be okay. All right. Zander is very busy right now, and it’s not like Justin is gonna be seeing him. All right. Justin’s not gonna say anything. They’re not gonna be hanging out. Zander is busy.

Like I said, he is very, very busy. What do you mean? Very busy? Like, like with work? Well, he’s very busy with, with his new girlfriend. Look, you might as well know he’s Porking Chloe Lane.

Well, don’t leave us hanging. Justin, what’s the big news? This may come as a surprise. This is not my secret to tell, and I only know that Sarah’s pregnant because I ran into her in Chicago and she made me swear. Swear not to tell anyone, please. Justin, are you gonna tell Sandra,

I know you gave Sarah your word, but I didn’t. But you’re my wife and I love you so. I will not tell Zach. What is it? What is it that I have a right to know that Alex has gone to work for Basic Black. Ah, wait, that’s your big news. Oh, so Brady gave Alex my old job. You know, he practically begged Chloe to go back and work for him, but she told him that she’d rather to keep working for me at the Spectator.

Meant the world to me. So you are living together and working together? Yeah, that’s right. And that’s the way we like, you know, Maggie tried to get me to go back and work at Titan and I said, no dies. Well, no, I’m curious. I wonder if she’s gonna get to take Alex’s place.

I’m flattered, uh, about the offer, Maggie, but I already have a job at S J P R working for me. Chad is my most valuable employee, and Titan is one of s j’s most lucrative clients. So you do would still be working together? One of Chad’s responsibilities would be acting as liaison to S J P R like Alex did when he had the job.

And uh, as far as the Commute, Titan’s headquarters is right down the street. Right. Um, I actually just, uh, told Doug and Julie that the kids and I are gonna be moving out. Really? Oh, well, where are you moving? Well, we don’t know yet. We, yeah, we, Chad and I are moving in together. Hmm.

I would not underestimate Maggie if I were you. Alex, she’s been my sponsor for years, and I’ll tell you what, she is as tough as she has to be. Well, she’s definitely no pushover, but she sure as hell has no idea how to run a business. Oh, hey Alex. I, uh, I’m glad you’re here. I actually have your employment contract here saved me from sending you a pdf.

If you could just, uh, read it, sign it, send it back to me, that’d be great. I will do that right now. Okay. And I have another matter to discuss with you. Uh, uh uh, this looks good to me. Uh, that was pretty. There you go. Pretty set pretty fast. Did you read all of the fine print? Yeah. I’m a speed reader, not to mention I trust you guys.

Got leaving Titan behind me, going to work for my cousin who would never screw me over. It’s the smartest move I’ve made in a long time. Where you going? Well, it seems like you two needed to talk.

There you go. So what is this other matter? Is it a tamira business? Uh, one Damira in particular, Kristen.

Well, congratulations on taking that big step. I hope you find the perfect place to start your life together. Thank you Maggie. It’s gonna be so wonderful for Thomas and Charlotte. I know they’re quite crazy about you, Stephanie. Ah, I think it was both ways. I love them very much and they’re very lucky to have a wonderful father and now to have a wonderful you and their lives.

I’m the lucky one. Well, look, I really should get going. Um, just one thing, Stephanie, I hope you will support Chad if he decides to accept my offer. Yes, I will. Yeah. I can’t say I’m not interested. I, I, I just need some time to think about it. I understand. But don’t take too long. Uh, I am, I am just ready to go with my plans for Titan and fill in that position is crucial.

Care to tell me what your plans are. Okay. Um, EJ and the others, they’re so sure. I don’t know what I’m doing. I. So I am gonna take advantage of that. So Demer Enterprises is gonna get a run for its money. Congratulations you two again, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Whoa. I, uh, I haven’t seen that side of Maggie before. Yeah, me neither. What are you thinking? I, I don’t know. I mean, her offering me the number two PO position. I mean, I didn’t see that coming. I assume that this is about, My daughter. Yes it is. So you had asked me to make sure that the family court ruling giving you custody of Rachel was ironclad.

Yes. So I went over the ruling in detail and there is absolutely no wiggle room for Kristen. You are legally the sole custodial parent. But let me guess. Kristen wants to dispute the ruling. Oh, had to guess. Oh, just had a no-brainer there. Have you heard from her legal team at all? I have not, which I think is really strange.

And I’m guessing you haven’t either. Nobel not a word. Well, that begs the question then. Where is Kristen Demira and what the hell is she up to?

Xander and Chloe. How can that be? She hates him. Not anymore. She’s living with the dude.

Wow. Okay. Um, I guess he really has moved on only because he doesn’t think he has a snowballs chance in hell in getting back with you. Now, if he knew you were carrying his child, I bet he’d dropped Chloe Lane like a hot rock. So maybe you should reconsider and tell him about the baby.

I have no idea who Maggie will hire to replace. I’m not art of her inner circle. All right, well, I’m pretty sure that inner circle is just big enough for two, her and Uncle Victor. Hmm, probably. Well, if you excuse me, I have a sick wife who’s at home and she’s in desperate need some chicken soup. I’m concerned that Bonnie might be suffering from a little bit more than a head cold.

Wow. Why do you say that? It’s just that the last time I saw him, she’s acting, seem really nervous. I, I dunno it as if she knew something that she didn’t want me to find out.

You’ve been kind of quiet since Maggie blew outta here. What can I say? She’s a tough act to follow. Well, I’d like to know, uh, I’d like to know how you feel about the job offer. Well, I think you have to consider taking it. I mean, it’s a, it’s a very important position, but,

well, he’d be taking Alex’s job, a job that he loved.

Hey, what up, sunny Boy? How’s the hubby and my niece? Good, good. Now the new gig is going great. I actually just signed a contract today. No, I don’t have any problem working for the Demaris. And hey, I tried to stay a Titan, but Uncle Vick’s power mad wife had other ideas. I, I know Maggie tried to get me my job back, but I also know that it would just be a matter of time before she had some other reason to fire me again.

And who the hell needs that?

Okay. Just know that Maggie and I have parted company and I couldn’t be happier.

Well, you’re right. Radio silence has never been Kristen’s style. Mm-hmm. Look at how she reacted when I tried giving her limited visitation rights to sued for full custody. I think she’s just trying to make a sweat. I don’t know. You know her better than I do. Well, I, I mean, she’s capable of anything. She could be doing anything.

I, but at least she’s not gonna go after Chloe this time. How do you know that? You just said she’s capable of anything. No. Be the only reason Chloe was a target before was because Kristen thought Chloe would end up raising Rachel. All right. And that’s, that’s obviously off the table now. Why are you. You haven’t heard, Chloe is living with Xander now.

What is she out of her mind? I don’t know what Bonnie could possibly be hiding from you, Xander. I really don’t. I’m sure she was just. Being Bonnie, you know her now. If you excuse me, I really need to place my order. Sure. Its great seeing you, Justin. Take care. Good seeing you. You too. I seeing you too.

Is it just me or does it see my Justin knows whatever it is that Bonnie knows. I don’t know, but he does seem uncomfortable. But baby, he’s just anxious to get home to his sick wife. No. All right. Yeah, maybe that’s it. So Sarah, what do you say? Would it be so bad to tell Xander he’s gonna be a daddy? I don’t want him back in my life bar.

So you and Justin are just gonna have to keep it to yourself. So you hear me? Yeah. Yeah, I hear you. Our lips are sealed, so, oh, listen, I gotta get off the phone. I’m gonna have another coughing fit. Goodbye. And good luck to you. Bye Bonnie.

So Bonnie told Justin everything I. Pretty much. And Xander is dating Chloe now.

You okay? Yeah. Why wouldn’t I be? I mean, Zander and I are divorced and that’s her what I said to Bonnie. I want that creep outta my life. So, He can date whoever he wants. Dear it,

so can I.

I can’t believe Chloe is seeing Xander Cook. You’re not joking with me. No. No. You think I would joke about something like that? I mean, she just hasn’t said anything to me about this. Yeah, cuz she knew that you would go through the roof when you heard that. Yeah. Damn. Straight. I would. Xander shot mom and you and he made Sarah and Eric believe that Rachel was there, baby.

And that your baby with Kristen had died. Yes. And then he went, all I know understand blew up Eric and Nicole’s wedding. I know Bell. I didn’t he leave Chloe and Mexico with some drug lawyer Bell? He did. He did all that stuff and I’m aware of it. I mean, wow. Kristen just must have pushed Chloe way too far.

Yeah. Chloe must just see something in Xander that. We don’t.

Thank you. Well, I could certainly use another weed drown. How about you? Ah, yeah. A glass of wine sounds really nice. Wine, eh? That sounds even better. Well, you just relax and I’ll turn bar. How about that? Yeah, thank you. I just hand you this. Oh, thanks. You know, I still can’t go over how sketchy Justin was acting tonight.

Yeah, I know you didn’t stop talking about it the entire way home. Sorry. Should I take that to mean that you are sick of me banging on about my family and they’re strange behaviors? No, I like you talking about your family. It lets me get to know the real you and that’s something you want to know the real me?

Yeah, it is.

Can I ask you a question? Are you sure that you want sleep alone tonight?

No. Oh, Sarah, no. No, no, no. Wait, what’s the problem? It’s not like this hasn’t happened before. I know, but. This is different.

It’s me. Okay. Wow. You’re afraid to see me without any clothes on. What? Are you kidding me? Hey, you were the most beautiful pregnant lady that ever was. Well then, what’s the problem? I saw your face when you found out about Xander and Chloe. I don’t care about that. I was, I was just surprised. I thought that Chloe had better taste as all that.

Hey, come on, it’s me. You were nuts about the guy. And look, I haven’t exactly made it a secret that I want another chance with you. Why are you pushing me away? I want a real chance, not some. Rebound sex, and that’s what that would be.

You know that don’t you?

Looks like I got here just in time. Oh honey. You go and you brought me my chicken noodle, so of course guaranteed to make you feel better. Here you go. Thank you, honey. Oh, this is gonna fix me right up. I can tell. Mm. I ran into Chloe and Xander at the pub. Oh, please. Oh, please tell me you didn’t spill it about Sarah and the baby.

Only because I gave you my word. Oh, thank God. I just got off the phone with Sarah and she’s so mad at me for telling you. She made me swear that we would not tell Xander about the baby. Like I said, I do not feel good about this. Xander is far from a perfect human being, but he did love Sarah. Oh my God, it’s his baby that she’s carrying.

Believe me, I hear you. And I tried. I tried to convince Sarah to come clean with him. I tried a lot, but she won’t budge you and I have no choice but to do as she says. Oh, I wish I didn’t know about this. I know what you mean. I just hope Sarah’s secret doesn’t blow up in our faces.

You were in the kitchen for quite a while. Yeah, I was, uh, I was loading the dishwasher.

I know you’re upset with me.

Um, I just, uh, I just don’t understand why Alex’s, uh, feelings should factor into whether or not I take the job. It’s just. He tried really hard to make it work with Maggie, and she fired him without even giving him a chance. And, but how was that my problem? Or yours? I mean, he, he’s a, he’s a big boy. He can handle himself.

Uh, you, you don’t always have to worry about him. I don’t always worry about him. Okay. I just meant that, you know, he landed on his feet. He got a good job at Basic Black. I don’t understand what the problem is. I hate the optics. Chad, first you take Alex’s girl. Next you might end up with his job. No, no, no.

I didn’t. I didn’t. I didn’t take his girl. You’re your own woman, and unless I’m mistaken, you made your own decision about who you wanted to be with. True.

It’s just I’m, I don’t know. I still feel weird about this offer, and it’s not only because of Alex. Okay, then what else? It’s Maggie. It’s like she’s completely changed since Victor made her the c e o. How so? She fired Alex because he lost that Kassoff deal, but it wasn’t his fault. Kassoff had second thoughts.

It happens. Who’s to say that she won’t do the same thing to you?

I would hate to see her kick you out on that fine ass of yours.

Well then I guess, uh, I guess it’s fine. I asked is just gonna have to be better at staying on her good side than he was. Right. Well, I don’t have to make a decision right now. It’s not what Maggie said. Well, Maggie, uh, Maggie’s gonna have to wait. That’s all. And, and honestly, right now, I’d rather. I’d rather not be, uh, talking about Maggie or, um, or work at all for that matter.

I’d rather be looking at possible dream houses for you, me and the kids, he’s okay. Yeah, yeah. Well, sounds good and lucky for real good PR lady never leaves her house with our laptop.

Oh, hello, Alex. Hi, Maggie. I thought you should know that I found someone to take your spot at Titan. Mm, really? Really? I didn’t want you to read about it in a spectator. How decent of decent w. You know what, Alex, you’d get along a whole lot better in this world if you didn’t have that chip on your shoulder.

No, you fired me. All right, so I don’t need all the self-help bull. Mm mm Nope. Nope. Not doing that. Aren’t you gonna ask me who I found? Well, congratulations on finding your ideal number two. Hopefully now we can both move on with our lives. It’s Chad.

Good for him. I thought he was working for Stephanie. Oh, he is. He is. But uh, he’s gonna take some time to think about my offer, but I think he’ll accept it. He and Stephanie will see enough of each other now that they have decided to move in together. I’ll see you back at the house,

not if I don’t see you first.

Wow. Xander and Chloe are living together. I just, oh, I’m so sorry, Brady. I know how much you love Chloe.

Yeah, well there’s not much I can do about it, so it’s pretty much over. I don’t wanna dwell on it. Okay. Okay, I get that. I understand. Dwell on you. Let’s dwell on you, sis. Tell me how you’re doing not great. Sean. Is he still drinking? Well, yeah, I mean, he’s either staring off into space or sleeping one off.

I can’t tell he he needs help. Yeah, I know, but he doesn’t see it that way. Especially after Victor laid into him. Yeah. I love my granddad, but I’ll tell you what he can, he can really make a bad situation worse sometimes. Mm-hmm. Do you want me to talk to Sean? You know, I’ve been where he is. I know. Thank you for offering and I might take you up on that.

Okay. Not now though. Well, right now I’m trying to get him to make an appointment with mom. He just says he’s not ready. You know, he’s just swimming in guilt and, and he jinks his dad’s in a coma because of him. But the fact that he was saving his mother’s life when he shot Bo, that doesn’t even register.

Yeah. I’m so sorry about that. Ugh. All right, I gotta go. Okay. Um, let me know if you hear consistent. I will. And, um, listen, Brady, what I know. That you think things are over between you and Chloe. All right. But I really think that you should try and hang on. She is gonna see Xander for who he really is, cuz everybody does.

Okay. Bye. Okay, thank you.

Came on too strong, didn’t I? No, I, I just. I thought I was ready to move on with my life, but I don’t think that’s possible. Not quite yet anyway. Right. You have a new place, new job, but you’re still not over. Brady.

Trust me. I want to be over him, but I’m just not yet. And. Sandra, I don’t, I don’t wanna lead you on. No, I understand. I mean, if I’m being dead honest with myself, I am still missing Sarah. Aren’t we a fine, fair?

So what do we do in the meantime? Keep getting to know each other. Take our time. I like the sound of that. Maybe there’s something on telly. Ah, okay. Just no love stories. No, definitely not. How about an action adventure with a creepy villain who gets what’s coming to him in the end? That kinda hits a little close to home for me, so, okay.

Fair enough. Um, the Marx Brothers, perfect.

You are right. I was using you to forget my problems and I am. I am so sorry cuz that’s the last thing I wanna do. Can I point out though that most guys, including me, wouldn’t mind being used in that particular way, but with you, I, I want it to mean something. It’s okay.

Do you know how much I wish I was over Xander? You know how much I wish that too.

I hate that what he does with his life still gets to me. I know. But look, all you know is that Xander and Chloe are just living together. Doesn’t mean they’re sleeping with one another. And who cares what Bonnie thinks? I mean, her word is not exactly gospel. Sandra isn’t the kind of guy that lives with somebody that he isn’t sleeping with.

He.

All right, I’m gonna go because we are both on duty early tomorrow.

Good night. Good night. Hey, um, the second you get over Xander, you know where to find me.

Here, lemme get you some more. Mm-hmm. I felt better already.

And notice tonight that Xander and Chloe seemed happy together. Yeah. Huh. Maybe she’ll be a good influence on him. Like you were for me. I wonder if Brady knows about them. Poor guy.

Words.

You wishing you.

Chloe, have I told you recently how much I adore?

See your lascivious. That’s even better than

and also,

Words can’t describe this

feeling inside. Every time

you.

I,

I.

One day,

one moment will change my life.

I.

See how things.

Open your eyes.

I.

Open.
